🎶 Hello. Good morning, so to speak. I appreciate you allowing the podcast to go a little later so I could take a nap because holy shit did it make a difference. Get your naps, get your naps. Alright, I used to, I used to hate, I used to hate taking naps dude and now I'm old. I'm an old bitch. Yeah fuck that shit. Japan's making a walking Gundam. Japan's making a Gundam and it's gonna walk. Okay, but how wide is it? It is 60 feet. Maybe it is 60 feet tall and and we're getting there. We are getting there. 17 meters?

We are getting close to the, yes you can get to your wide pat in a second. They're walking Gundams, dude. We're getting there and and right now they're, they're, should we worry? Well here's why I'm, here's what's up, right? When they replaced the original RX78 with the new Unicorn Gundam, it was like it's cool, it's a pretty design, but I'm like damn, but the classics though, you know? And the Unicorn Gundam like supposed to be the classic, classic, but they added it later, but it was like no, this one was the real new one. No, Unicorn is, it's part of the UC timeline, so it's, it's part of the correct canon, but it's just that the original, what they replaced it with was the first Gundam, you know? So like for nostalgia purposes, it's

kind of like, you know, I don't know, getting rid of, didn't have the cool transforming like Unicorn thing. It does, exactly. Yeah, so it's like replacing a statue of, you know, a classic Batman or Golden Age Superman with something much more modern, a modern, a more modern armor take on them. Booster Gold. No, no, same character, you know? Same character. How about this? How about this? It's like, it's like, yeah, it's like going to the, the modern Dark Knight kind of look, you know? So, but in it, whatever. Analogies aside, it was like awesome to have a full-sized RX-78, and then the Unicorn Gundam came in, and I saw it move and light up, and I was like, that is fancy, that is pretty, but I miss my old RX-78. And it turns out that they were actually

just moving it, they were moving the Unicorn in so that in the background, they could design a walking Gundam that will then be unveiled in Yokohama. And it's going to be a part of this big base where it comes out of the hangar and takes a couple steps forward, and then the hands are fully articulated and can move, and we're getting there. I like this progression, and I like the fact that there is a consistent, there is a consistent level of Japan's budget dedicated towards, like, bullshit fandom. As, like, as the budget for bullshit fandom is a part of the national pride, and I'm like, all for it, I'm all about that. Let's go. I'm aware that there is a Gundam party. I'm not sure if they get any seats lately, but I do know

that they used to get at least one seat. I didn't know that. Diet. Yeah, no. It was a guy who had a Gundam party, and the platform of the Gundam party was, bitches, we need to make a Gundam. That was it. That was the whole fucking thing. So I ask again, is this worrying? Should we worry about this? Not, I mean, not in the sense that, like, you know, I would be much more worried about Big Dog and what's going on at MIT. That stuff is on this continent and is way more advanced, and way further along. No worries about this, because we don't have space colonists yet. Well, there's that. Which, as we know, we're the problem.

There's footage of Tomino, like, going to check it out, and a friend of mine told me that there's a picture of him checking out the original. Is he still alive? Yeah, Tomino's around. Holy shit, good for him. He gets to see this shit? Yeah. There's footage of, like, apparently, he, my friend told me that there's a picture of him seeing the Odaiba Gundam for the first time and just being like, but I've never found that. But what I did see is a picture of him visiting the current one under construction, and he's like, eh, it's not busty enough. And quite frankly, you guys, it seems like you're just doing the same stuff from the 70s. Like, why not do something else? Why not update it a little bit and improve it? And it seems like he's like,

you know, already over the fact that his life's creation has come into reality. He's already kind of over it. It's a bit, you know, a bit wild. But what else is in terms of, like, worrying about this whole thing? There was an article that I saw right after this one, actually, which was just about someone that wrote a paper in a machine science magazine that is basically like, hey, you know how Yeagers and Pacific Rim are like these cool, futuristic giant robots and shit? I do know that I'm aware of that. So like the tech they use is actually behind where we're at currently. And we can do much more. And we can we are currently more capable. When it comes to just like straight up what you can use to like, pilot and control these

things and how they how that would work. And like, I'm like, go on. And it basically goes into how like, okay, so the size and scale of them is a kind of a big, ridiculous thing. Realistically, tech is going closer towards power armor and suits that will help like with medical things or helping people walk skeleton kind of exoskeletons exactly. So we're getting closer to that. But the main thing was like any time you see someone walking, where it actually has to follow their footsteps or some variation of that, that's kind of like you can toss that out because we have way more reliable AI based piloting of just like managing steps where it can you just mentioned big dog, you can kick big dog and big dog won't fall over. Exactly. So you wouldn't have to move

your feet left, right, left, right to walk. Realistically, it can check for terrain, it can make steps intelligently. And who knows, maybe it can even avoid stepping on cars, debris and or people. Well, where's the fun in the the pilot having to do that manually? Like, well, the point is that what's the fun in the pilot not having to do that manually, you can yell a Camille for stepping on that bus. Well, the point I would say is that if you can not have to worry about that part of it, you can focus all your piloting energies at the extraterrestrial threat. All right. So we're not so we got the robot part down, apparently, I missed that part, like it just I wasn't paying attention

to the earth. And then we just leapfrog past the part where the robot part was like a solved issue. We're pretty close. The beam saber. That's not that's going to be a bit. No, no, I think I think we're never getting beam saber, but we it's way too much energy pretty like slick progressive knife. Well, I think vibrating blade is where we're going. I think we're going towards vibrating blade. I think we're going towards like super heated katana. You know, I think we can go there. But at the same time, you have to consider as well, like, you know, if you want if you want to be do you want do you want cool? Oh, do you are? Do you want like sacrifice some cool for function? I don't know. Certain types of like hyper functional stuff is cool in its own right.

Because to begin with, right, you have to consider how often that melee weapon would get used. Right. Realistically, in, in, in, okay, are we fighting bugs? We fight another robot. I think that's that's that's exactly where I was about to go. So I was about to go to the point where if we imagine like, okay, well, what are the odds we're going to go melee on this? Well, the odds are going to be not very high considering you're going to be fighting long range. And you're going to be it's going to be about firepower more than anything. Unless you specifically decide to go all in on the cool by having a working functional version of that megabots tournament, where people in armored suits get into an arena and actually

fight because this is the cool shit we want. Like if we organize it to be for this purpose expressly, then you can go all in on the cool and go full on vibrating blades and high frequency swords and everything bunkers and pile bunkers, etc. Yes. And of course, you're and and shotgun fists and and all the good things we can get in there with the we can get in there with the the the drones, we can get in there with the funnel drones that can also be like they're so organized now that you can essentially move drones around as if they were funnels and attack with those as well. We're close. It's it's like the tech the pieces are all there. You just have to kind of put them together, you know, like are you are you at all worried that

the technology if it exists for a Gundam is around that therefore the technology for a, I don't know, Metal Gear Rex also technically exists could be could be. But I think Rex exists already in broken up like components, you know, they put the railguns on the boats, I think, and there's a nuke sitting right over there in that briefcase, you know, like we've we've we've gotten those pieces all lined all lined up in the little plastic they just haven't been popped and stuck together yet essentially. But if we're talking cool factor, I definitely think we we want to go more towards that armored exoskeleton life. We want to get into that, you know, because if you're if you're too want to have people that just jump really high,

exact, super fast and and they need to be quick, right? So if you focus on building something that is like Gundam or Jaeger sized, you're not going to get the cool nimble like look of like a virtual on, you know, kind of like dashing on your feet, skating around, you know, you want that you want that nimble cool look. That's how the super future sport would would take off. Have you seen like drone racing? I mean, I've not. I've played drone racing in judgment, actually. And I have seen it. Future sport is coming. Future sport is coming. Like they're the real footage of actual drone racing where they have these like Tron lit up dark dark arenas with like giant like neon hoops to fly through and rings to fly through and little courses to race each

other with. It's insane. And then like they they cut to the first person view, and they're moving like like lightning quick, like we're getting there. We're absolutely getting there. I just want athletes to cut their legs off so they can slap on like robot legs. Okay, but instead what I'm proposing is you retire the bit so that we can put the athlete in exo armor where he can move this just as fast with that augmentation. The status of an athlete's legs. Yeah, I know. But that's why it's like it's it's so tired. It's such a tired bit that I'm like, nah, it's not a bit to me. Nah, put them in the robot. And now we have future sport. IGP X. Sure. Whatever it is, man. You know what I would actually really like?

Like robots, entire robots, like whatever big like humans shaped big dog or whatever that that that robot is that they fucking keep knocking down over that university. Mm hmm. Right. The human shaped one. Am I too big dog? Yeah, get that to super human power. But it's still like, you know, a moronic robot and have those play against like smart but like physically inferior humans. Right. Sure, football game between super tough robots and smart but skilled humans. I want to make sure that like I like it's just if we could get a number of like we need we need to take that same passion that Japan has for like, let's make this walking robot. Let's let's update it. Let's go with the Gundam thing. Let's keep doing it and basically go

towards like, hey, what if we actually tried to create the sport from from Battle Angel Alita? You know, what if what if we actually invested in basically cyber roller derby? Very plausible. We can go this we are again, it's things we can do. We can actually get motorball happening. If we get you need a ring, you need an audience, you need like a kind of you need a track, you need a ball, we can do it. These are all existing pieces. We don't have to create any sort of tech that doesn't currently exist to get there. You know, I'm trying to I'm trying to think because you're describing like, what if we use technology to create nonsensical fantasy sports? And my brain is like, what likelihood is there that we could make a wind jammers ask

pro bending? Hmm. Okay, I don't know if that's possible because that just sounds like slapping flamethrowers and water hoses to people. Pro bending, I don't think. But wind jammers slash the version of Pong they play in reboot, where they have like, they have the reflectors on their hands and knees, and then they kind of like, knock the ball off the wall. Could be done. How would the disc stay? You can use magnets or some shit. There's all sorts of crazy fucking shit now. I'm like, I'm wondering if it would have to be like, virtual. You know, because I don't know what kind of physical disc would hit the walls and come back with the right trajectory in the exact same way. It might have to be VR. We could make it, we can

go with a VR version of it. And then you just, you know, you're in a big empty room, but like, the audience can see everything looking pretty sick. Track the hands, the hands hit the ball, and then, you know, you can just work, you can just become a virtual athlete in that regard. But if you go, if they create like a VR headset, that can withstand the rigors of like, crazy high activity sport, you can create any sport you want. You can do anything because it's just reacting to your body and, you know, as long as you can fall on your head and not break the headset, we can go in any direction. I like, I like that concept that that could go places too. That could go places. All right. I got another one for you. Get the RX-78 walking, right?

And have one of those against one regular football team in a game of football. Is that another one? Or is that just the same one again? Just, just, just tape a football to its foot. Why did you say another one with what you really meant was the same one again? I want to see a bunch of useless people fight a robot. You want to see people die. Got it. Okay. Well, anyway, listen, listen, once, once we're all stuck inside, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've deconstructed the robots are roaming the streets. We're going to need something to entertain us.

Who put this horse skeleton down here? I didn't do it. Hey, wait a second. I just thought of something really cool. If, if the exoskeletons get advanced enough with servos, could you just attach those things to skeletons? You could do anything. Can you could motorize a bunch of skeletons? I don't see what they would even need. They would need to be like the same. What would this accomplish?

This, why am I asking the question that's furthering? I'm, yes, ending. I'm not, yes, ending. Yeah, dude, you could have motorized like skeleton teams doing sports automatically, but you still need a person piloting it to move. You can decal it however you want. Calm bones, Jackson. Look, if someone agrees and signs a waiver that says upon my death, you may use my bones to decorate your Mac, then you can do whatever you want with those bones, but you still need someone in it. Yeah. So we can go freak mutants in a tube. Again, you, as long as you get, as long as you get the person's consent before they pass, then by all means, bone up. And that mutant leak cartoon went so

fucking far out of its way to show that they didn't die. They just got horribly maimed. You put them in the tube and then they heal all their, all their arms and legs come back. It's crazy. I guess the moral of the story is that there's a lot of existing tech that just needs to be combined to bring us the future. And you don't, you don't even realize it. Do you remember God, what was it called? It was called lens. It was basically Google, Google Translate, but it was called, I think it's lens eye or some eye lens or something like that. It was an app and I think Google Translate bought it, right? But essentially it's, it was, they were the ones who just went, hold on a second. And this was years and years ago.

You can, we have the ability to scan text right now. When you scan a piece of paper, it can translate it into text. We can scan books that way and have like a full, you know, translate a full like a proper log of all the, all the words and whatnot. We can recognize fonts. We can do the font recognition is a thing. And then someone else was like, okay, wait, also we can translate with a Google translation server. We can put text in and pipe it out. And then someone went, and then someone, and then they went, we can use AR right now. AR has gotten a lot better. We can use these, these newer cameras, especially 3D cameras, to track and place things in the real world, rather in, on your screen over a certain location.

And it'll stay intelligent whenever you look at it from any angle, like AR, you know. So they just went like, why don't we just combine AR, Google Translate and text recognition and make it so that if you point your phone at a sign that says, and then switch it to English, it'll turn AR into stop. And then it made it so that you can walk around the real world and hold up your camera and turn translate signs immediately from another language into English or to whatever you want. And I mean, I've used it a bunch of times and used it in Japan extensively and it was fucking crazy. It's beautiful, right? But that was a fucking tricorder. But it was, all it was, was just, hey, we have, we've had these individual pieces, no one put them together.

You know, and when you look at the future, all you're seeing is like, instantly working versions of these pieces all put together. But that's all we had to do, you know, grab three separate things that were developed and mastered, and then just combine them. So like, there's a lot of shit like that that I think we need to kind of do consolidate to create the further illusion of basically future magic. Man. I want so much future tech so fast. I think Dr. Yeah. Yeah. I think I feel like I'm going to be too old before all the really, really crazy shit happens. Like we again, we were close. We have the things like we have drones that move really quickly. And they can light up. But what we need is the drones that can like

project, project. We have holograms. We have had Tsunamiku concerts and Gorilla's concerts and Ghost of Poc concerts. So we can, we can do that. Now, is there a way to put the holograms on the drones so that they can project them in an area and they stay there and they move around. And as long as the drones are moving around, we can see this person, you know, and then can we create a virtual ghost of a person essentially or a virtual whatever. And then also at some point, you can probably make that make it so that, you know, that responds to inputs and outputs so that you can then have a functioning ghost that you can control in the real world. Just take three things, piece them together. Now we've got out. I'm still waiting on

my, you know, injection machine that injects you without a needle, which was like shown off in like 2017. What that fucking thing? No, how would that even work? It looks like a fucking I'm going to send you a link. It looks like a goddamn dildo that you put on your fucking leg or whatever. And you press a button and it just smashes it in like, it's like smashes like a fucking pressure wave of juice, of injecting juice in your skin. So it doesn't have to inject. It just pressure blasts whatever the drug is. And your pores absorb it and just blast it through your skin. But like, it goes through your pores? I don't fucking know. Because yeah, I'm just like, what are you doing about the, you know, the actual layer of skin that whatever it doesn't

use a needle. That's the important thing. We have, we have like longer lasting temporary tattoos. Now there's a company that is out there that's like, we can give you a tattoo that lasts for like two months or something like that. That's okay. That's a while. So we're getting, you know, we're getting that as well where it's like, yeah, it'll come out on its own, but you can wear it for a while. Tattoo is a kid that last night, I'd be lucky if it got to the end of the day. Essentially, yeah, that's what the cereal box shit, we've gotten pretty far advanced in that regard as well. Yeah, no, I think I can, I can only imagine that will lead to pranks of like, haha, I

tattooed an asshole on your forehead. Don't worry, bro, it's just temporary. How long is it going to last? Oh, oh, shit. Yeah. Crap. It's just a prank, bro. I'm, I'm excited for the, the possibility of like, tattoos that can, that can um, like possibly illuminate, you know, like the idea of something, something that could like actually like light up would be pretty slick. You could get all your like wild ass OC designs actually functioning. Do you remember that very short lived body modification trend of injecting LEDs and you're under your skin? Nope, didn't see that one.

That one just kind of came and went in the span of like, say like a couple months where it was like, Hey man, look, you can put an LED under your skin. It's crazy. She did lights up and then people were like, cool. And then a couple of people did that. And then everyone stopped doing that because like, I mean, eventually it's gonna, it's gotta come out. Do you remember bagelheads? Oh my fucking God. Oh my fucking God, bagelhead. That sounds like you remember bagelheads, bagelheads. That, that, that was the actual worst. They, that was the actual worst ever. They, they, uh, they really, they really did that shit. They really did that shit. And they, and they were like, yeah, this is what it's all about.

And like your eyebrows just get all fucking warped. I remember there was like, again, it was one of those bits where I was like, I saw a single video and article about it. And I'm like, I guess I will take this to be a thing then because at least two people were in that video with bagelheads. Um, water's bagelheads. That is the act. Uh, it was the act of injecting, I think it was saline around a pressured point in your forehead so that you get a large protrusion that looks like you've stuck a bagel right in the middle of your forehead, except it's growing under your skin. So, you know, the only, the only, the only thing that, I mean, you can look this up, you can go look at photos of this guys right now, but, um, the only positive to it was that it could

be removed or I think it just wore off on its own after like a week or two or some shit. Like it was saline based. Yeah, you could just, cause, cause essentially it started as like you could just make parts of your forehead protrude. So you could make yourself look like a, like a piccolo, you know, like a weird monster where your eyebrows are sticking out. And then once you kind of, you know, once everyone was like, okay, you can do anything you want with saline. Then they said, let's start sculpting it. So then they did that and don't want the fuck Canada. That was out of Japan, my friend. Like we may have invented the technology or some shit, but I don't think we pioneered the bagel heads. Oh, I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it.

Oh, I hate it. Oh, I hate it. Yep. You can just type the words into, into Google and enjoy browsing, enjoy browsing. Yeah. See, no, there's quite a few, there's quite a few people that did it. You know, okay, I will say this though, as horrible as they are, the nicest thing I can say about it, dear God, it's fuck, it's fucked up. The nicest thing I can say is that there's one guy who gave himself like kind of like hellboy horns. And it's like, okay, I get what you're going for there. At least that resembles something in a way. Like you're like, oh, I want to have these kind of hellboy like flattened protrusions. And it just, it makes slightly more sense than all the ones that they have that have a single bagel in the middle of their head. But yeah, you know, that

just looks like suffering. And it's all right. So so if we're going to talk about all this nightmare shit, we have to talk. I don't know. Did you ever used to read cracked Willy? I read cracked. I had more copies of Mad Magazine, but I had a cracked every now and then I liked the cracked website, particularly I liked the Oh, the articles you meant later cracked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I meant later cracked. I like the bits that Michael Swain would do. I remember there was cracked after hours that he did with a bunch of people, but he also did something called does not compute. And there was one called eyeball tattoos, understanding the horrible decision. And it detailed these these fucking dudes in prison that figured out a way to use

like fucking pens and just blast the ink from like a big pen into the whites of their eyeballs until the whole eyeball was like blue or red or some shit. Yes. Okay. I this rings a bell now totally. And there were two guys that did it. And we're like, yeah, look at our cool eyeballs. And if I remember correctly, there were many others who later attempted it and did it wrong and horribly blinded themselves. I'm not sure if those guys eventually went blind either. But I've all tattooing is not a good idea is what I'm saying. All I can think of is the guy that was in, I think it's limp biscuit.

I think there's a guy in limp biscuit that had like contacts that fully covered the eye so that in the music videos, it would just be all like alien looking. It might not have been that it was something from that era, though. But it's like, yeah, just you could just you could just go with the contact lens on that. There's a there's a lot of well, not in prison. You can't. No, no, no, certainly not. No, they did it in prison so that people wouldn't fuck with them. And I don't know if that works or not. Wes Borland from limp biscuit. Yeah, that would be the one. That'd be the one. You know what? I'm just I'm good with.

I'll replace my eye with a robot, but like, I don't think I want to jam things into my eyeballs. I played Dead Space. Two things. Too much to lose, man. You know, what's what's rough, too, is there's a a while ago, there was a shitty cosplay site that was selling garbage quality, like contact accessories. So like Sharon Gans and cat eyes and, you know, all kinds of like special contacts for cosplay. And they were obviously, yeah, they were not meant to be worn for the length of a day of cosplay. And some people lost their fucking sight. You know, it sucks, dude, you take like it and you're

just like, well, you get what you pay for, huh? But but not just that. But like again, like it just the shoddy quality mixed with like the shelf life being as shitty as it was just yeah, too much of a risk, man. Yeah, it's not great. Not great. I think eventually we got like, I think eventually there was like, you know, some higher quality contacts that have like sufficient instructions and warnings that people can use and it's basically just like put them in for the photo shoot, then take them the fuck out. You know, yeah, do not do not walk around the con with them. Hmm. No, I have no follow up at all. Just like

don't don't put the string in contact in all day. If you had to get one visible body modification, what would you get? Are we okay? You need to you need to outline the the edges of this. It would have to be something that would show up right now. So neck and above. I could go get right now neck and above or elbows and elbows to the tip of your fingers. And again, I know you would never get anything. So I'm asking because I already have mine, what would you get if you had to get something? Modification, tattoo or piercing that would show up on either your arms or head. And it can't be like a beard underneath your beard. I was just thinking that.

Or like hair. I would probably get them laser treatments and become completely bald. No, not no, it has to be. You said body modification that you could see. Okay, that's a body modification that people can see. Well, the point is I'm trying to I'm like, what is the most acceptable expression of punk that you would settle for if you were forced to at gunpoint? This is the point of the question. This is the point of the question. I'm sorry that you didn't think up the rules closely enough that you couldn't disbar my laser treatment of the top of my head. I know what you would get. You just get a stupid little like small thing on

your wrist. You get like a little little fucking, I don't know, Star Trek like symbol on your wrist or some shit. Okay, so if the head thing that you just said isn't good enough, I will get a tattoo on my left flank, like underneath my armpit. I specifically said visible. Would this not be visible? Visible right now. Arms. Oh, visible right now. Arms, neck and above. I thought you meant like no hiding it on the inside of your ass. No, no hiding it on underneath your clothing. Okay, let me look at myself right now. Okay, always tired. Under the ice? No, no, no, no. It would be in as small of a print as I can get away with on, let's say the the here part, the upper arm above the elbow. The text I was forced at gunpoint

to get a tattoo. Okay. Okay. Good. Acceptable. Damaged. No. No, fuck that. Okay. I mean, Christ, Willie, your tattoo isn't visible right now. So you don't, but you got the face shit. Yeah. Also, that's not the point of the question isn't me. It's you because you hate that. So that's why I do hate that. That's why the question was even phrased that way. Alternatively, if that is not good enough, I would have fake abs tattooed onto my one ab. There's pictures of people that actually have like bronzed fake abs over their gut. And it's the funniest thing. And they get big, but like it just it's a it's a single round thing.

And it it looks like someone took an ice cube tray and just stuck it on their fucking stomach. Oh, dude, it's the funniest thing in the world. Yeah. You deserve it. If that if you fucking do that, you deserve it, man. Like, you deserve all the cool points you're going to get. So the there's a thing it's called cool sculpting actually. And you can and that what they do is they freeze and sculpt the fat into a more muscular looking form. And and it's like it's existing tech to give yourself like definition when you don't have any. So like it does exist. It is it's an existing process that people are fucking getting done. And as with anything that way, you know, like

when your body gets worse, it just it looks the weirdest ever. It like shit just gets fucking horrible. Like those guys that steroid the fuck up and they have these giant like muscular arms that are just like cartoonish and then like all that goes away and then they burst or worse, you know, and you're just like, yeah, like you can't live anymore. Or something about your delivery of this kind of a halting and then they can't live anymore. Like, where do you go when you get your Popeye arms and your Popeye arms go away? There's no spinach that's going to fix that shit. All right, talk about White Pat. It's not about White Pat, Willie.

Your your your your meme game is getting weaker by the day that you think that it's about White Pat. Well, tell me what it's about. It's about wide Putin. Okay. What might so you do you remember your emotional state upon seeing the very first dat boy meme? And being like, this is the stupidest fucking meme to ever like this is the this is the actual stupidest. That's where we're at with White Putin. Because it is just it is a two and a half minute long video of Vladimir Putin walking down some hallways to some fucking old timey piano dance track with the fucking aspect ratio just screwed up

to make him look super wide like a square. 7.6 million. And that's it since June 8th. That's that's the whole thing. It's just the whole thing. And just people remixing other things to be wide with the same music. I was wondering if it had its its its origins in the you know the the the square the square cows or perhaps if maybe I don't know if it came from I don't know there's that one word like the there's a pigeon that salutes Putin as he's walking by. Yeah, I don't know. There's a there's a million stupid square and or wide memes and there's a bunch of Putin memes because Putin is a fucking meme. I think the I think the the best recent Putin meme I've seen has been just a picture

that's like there is no meme Putin has been in power in Russia for over 20 years that allows him to be posted in as ancient history or as he's he's now qualified to be posted history because it's been 20 years. That's it. That's it. Yeah, man, I don't I don't get it. I don't like I'll embrace the the meme culture the kids are creating. I'll memeify I'll meme up. But I don't I don't I can't tell where these are coming from anymore, man. I don't get it. I'm out of meme touch. Yet you try so desperately to swim and not drown. Oh, I can swim. I can swim in the unfamiliar meme waters. You ever adopt a meme and start using it before you fully understand it? Oh, every mean and then

the context never quite makes it. I only understand them after they're dead. Yeah. Like I don't know where this I think I want to say this is a new Vegas thing like wait it's all like the astronauts staring at the planet. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, always has been and always has been. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is that from me? I don't know. I appreciate the sudden resurgence of metal slug where you have the new art of Theo and then the old art of Theo and like the new one is pure like super cute e-girl. Futaba looking. Yeah. Twitch streamer and then the old one is just like all like lips all curled like so. Yeah. Gremlin shit. Yeah. So like the the the one on the left is like good good games well

played and then the one on the right is like he was fucking free. Yeah, that was good. It was good. I like that. Metal Slug deserves to get a little bit of both push. Let me live in a fucking post data is a nightmare scape where nothing has value. One thing is consistent. One thing is consistent. Like memes in this and as far as internet history goes memes will always progress. There are hard. There are ages of memes that are very like traceable and and and recognizable and that will continue. And even when nothing else is happening, even when nothing else is progressing, the memes will progress. Yeah. Like Fenboy Hooters came out of fucking nowhere. And what was it?

Uh tomboy tomboy some what was the it wasn't Hooters. It was all of garden said Fenboy Hooters. No, no, no, no, no, not not Fenboy Hooters. There's I think it was tomboy all of garden or tomboy out back tomboy out back. Okay, I missed that one. No, I'm talking level two fucker swim up on that catch up. No, I don't. I don't get it. Level two was tomboy out back. I still think the Fenboy Hooters tweet that was like they got a blooming onion. You guys don't you guys don't know how fucking weird it is to get an email from my boss at Hooters that is subject line Fenboy Hooters. It's good stuff. It's good stuff. I'm seeing a lot of people post goth eye hop which that that that hits that hits that same

milf dead ease. Okay, so out of our bees. I see. Okay, so I see what they're doing flavor plus restaurant equals. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, there we go. And then you evolve it and then it dissipates excuse me and then you're right and then and then something else pops up. I feel like meme technology is moving like way faster now that everyone's still inside. Yeah, it has to it's it's well most of us anyway. It's it's community comedy. Right. It's it's it is crowdsourced comedy where people can see the format participate in it contribute their own. You know, it's a little you get you get you get some decent cloud. You get some decent cloud. Some of them are going to hit right. Yeah, like for sure.

10,000 people making the same joke. A couple of them are going to be bangers. You got don't leave me don't leave me where you kind of you take a pun take two objects you create a pun and then you run away and then they go don't leave me don't leave me, you know, it's it's it's it's the future. It's the way it's the way it's going to work from now on. And God bless it. God bless it because it's permanently archived even if the sources are deleted. It's backed up elsewhere. And again, like it's not a matter of like looking back on some pictures, some photos, some documents. It's like, no, future kids are going to be able to type a hashtag in and just see it for what it was in the moment.

Hashtags and history class is going to be wild. All right, kids, now we're going to learn about the NTR Pizza Hut Wars. Is the pizza. Don't don't being I just stole I just stole a random item from the chat. Don't I have no information for you because there's two places the pizza could be. I'm just saying shit. Okay, well, don't don't no, I'm pretty don't think I have information for you. There's at least two I have two places to have nothing for you. I have a weird story in regards

to this. Staying from buddy minded discord, which is the wonders of the Pokemon wonder share. In which so wonder shares this kind of thing where you share a Pokemon, you get a random Pokemon back basically in the new in the new Pokemon. And he got a shiny Psyduck out of it. It's just randomly got a fucking shiny Psyduck. Okay, bam. Holy shit. That's crazy. Psyduck's the shit. Shiny Psyduck's cool. That's great. Except the Psyduck's name is epic NTR dot org. And he's like, okay, so do I even keep this fucking thing? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So the new Pokemon game will put Pokemon in the wild that have been named by other it's like a thing you go to edit like a kiosk or some shit.

And you put up a Pokemon for trade. And a random Pokemon that was also put up for trade will be kicked back to you. Right? So you could get a legendary that somebody put up or you could get like a bit of or some piece of shit, right? But you're following their name, however the fuck they're named the name that yet because that's that's what they were named. Hey, do you want that shiny or not? So I think the funniest thing about this is that I posted that little story on Twitter, like, you know, you crop out the discord thing, you slap it on there. Somebody actually went to the website. Of course you do. It's it's not what you think. It's the epic center.

It is a discord group for Pokemon fans. And they were fucking generating or whatever fucking Pokemon with this goddamn URL to kick out as their form of advertising for their fucking discord group. But where's the E? There's no E. It's CNTR. The C is used in both words. Or epic center. I refuse to believe that's an accident. We're talking about it. It's good stuff. So yeah, incredible advertising. I'm talking about it. You want that doesn't change the fact that

you know, my buddy wants to bring out a shiny Psyduck. You want that Psyduck. Man, you need you should be able to rename your Pokemon. You wish you could have that Psyduck, but you can't. I don't. You can just watch your friend have it. Yeah, there. Yeah, there it is. Well, that's my side. Oh, it's terrible. What did you do? Honestly, I didn't do a whole lot that was new this week. Like, dipping my toe into Ori and the Blind Forest after many years not having dipped my

toe into Ori and the Blind Forest. That game's fucking gorgeous. But I'm stuck. I'm stuck being a stupid asshole about that game. And I am trying my best to be fair, but I feel like I literally can't be fair to it. And the reason for that is, is I was looking as to whether or not I should stream Ori and the Blind Forest or just go to Will the Wisps. Yada, yada, yada. Right. So I check out Ori on how long to beat. And I'm like, Oh, like eight hours. Really? Huh. That's that's crazy. What about Ori and the Will of the Wisps? Right. What's that? Oh, 11. Okay. 11 hours. That's, oh, that's a, that's a nice short game. These are like Metroidvania. Ask, right? I'm like, am I misremembering?

Yeah, I am miss. Okay. Yeah, no, I'm not like Hollow Knight is like, it's like 50 hours. And it's also like, I went back and looked at the Hollow Knight map and was like, this, this is like five Castlevania games. Yeah, but that's not fair to compare. That's my point. It's so not fair at all. Hollow Knight will go down in history as being one of the most excessive games in history in terms of just the content that could have stopped multiple places, but they wanted to give you more. It's overstuffed. But because of the order that I played these in, I cannot help but mentally compare them. And like Ori's cool. I dig the, I dig the fucking, what do you call it, create your own save point thing.

I think that's a nice little gimmick. Oh, is that like, you could just drop one whenever you, wherever you are. Oh, I thought you were like super familiar with this game. No, no, no, not at all, but I, I, it's beautiful. So the, the, the basic gimmick for the save point is you build up your energy meter for like your special attacks is the same thing that you would use to throw down a checkpoint. Okay. And there are no innate checkpoints outside of fast travel points, and they are very few and far between. So you put down your own goddamn checkpoints, depending on how fucked up something is. That's fine. I like that. Yeah. If you design around that idea.

It's absolutely, it's absolutely like fucking ridiculous, gorgeous, but um, I don't put this, like I got, I streamed for like three, four hours, and I think I got every ability upgrade except for one. Okay. And even by regular ass Castlevania or Metroid standards, that seemed really fast. I remember playing Axiom Verge and hating it, just hating Axiom Verge. And I didn't get nowhere in those three or four hours. Is already one big map? Or is one big map? Would you have preferred set levels? Yeah, maybe, honestly. Yeah, maybe. I might have preferred it to be like a, like a kind of almost like a Lion King or Aladdin style. I mean, those games don't really exist anymore,

but I think, uh, I think the idea of the whole world being connected was just like a cool thing that we, like once we saw that, we went like, oh shit, like it's like stages except you can see exactly how the world builds together. So you just kind of like, you know, stick to it. Although Sonic more or less still does it. Yeah, but I mean, Sonic is, you know, it's shit. Yeah, Ori's great. Ori's absolutely fantastic. I just wish I could give it a fairer shake, because I can't, like there's two parts to it. There's the part that I mentioned, which I played Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight is going to be one of the greatest forever.

But the other part is that I remember this article that was uh, the devs telling people that they never played Hollow Knight when Will of the Wisps came out or some shit. Uh, because like people were saying like, oh, that's, oh, Pat's wrong. Oh, okay. I remember there was like a lot of comparisons between Will of the Wisps and Hollow Knight and that like seeded that idea in my mind. But like, it's a direct, but like, isn't it mostly based on the first game, which is pretty old? Like did they just, what mostly based? Like Ori and the Blind Forest.

Yeah, Will of the Wisps is a completely new game. It's like a sequel. Yeah, but like, I mean, like, are you saying that they just took Ori and they kind of lifted some features and like, what's, what's the accusation? Dude, I don't know. I haven't played. Okay. Will of the Wisps. I do see people are saying that Will of the Wisps is very much, I mean, we got somebody here say, Ori2 has a lot of Hollow Knight stuff in it, which, I mean, everything should have more Hollow Knight stuff in it.

That's a very good game. Ori Original is fantastic. I just wish, I kind of wish there was more of it in general. Like there's a weird feeling that I get when I sit down and play something and don't even play for that long and just feel like I've gotten like most of what it has out of it already, if that makes any sense. Like you not necessarily like beat it, right? But just like, oh yeah, yeah, I see what this game is. Aren't that gorgeous could only stay for so long and you want to definitely walk that line between overstaying your welcome and running out of assets.

Yeah, I think the dangers of that are evident in every vanilla wear game. They're gorgeous as fuck. And then you're going to be inside of them for a really long time. Sounds like a good problem to have, you know. But no, I think Dragon's Crown really nailed it on that respect, honestly. I mean, compared to the previous ones, Odin Sphere. Especially compared to Odin Sphere, you know. And even then, Dragon's Crown like it still did have the the Retrex, you know. Yeah, I ended up playing like, I think two full cycles through that game in their arcade mode.

And it makes sense because it's like, you can't draw this beautiful Muramasa background only to see it this one time. Like I get it. That's stupid. But like I said, it's a fine line. It's a fine line. There's moments when, you know, it's a little moment in those games where in the vanilla wear games where you hit the point where you're like, okay, I think I have seen all the assets, except for the final, final, final ones. I think I've seen the enemy types and the stages. So now it's just a matter of like going back through the remixes of these things

and like getting the new dialogue, so to speak, you know. Yeah. Hollow Knight's a fucking wonder masterpiece. It makes no sense. Why don't the artists just keep making more forever? They can actually like my brain is bad today. Every day. Oh, come on. Every Monday. Ah, no, seriously. I feel like brain brain bad, not good today. Well, fucking get some sleep in before we go.

Yeah. I'm doing my best, but that's actually quite difficult for Mondays. Well, what I'm thinking is, I wanted to say saying, and then I switched to thinking, and then I said both at the exact same time. What I'm thinking is that that new game, 13 Sentinels, is going to be coming out soon. And again, it appears to be a little bit more visual novely than the other action games they've put out in the past. Makes perfect sense for that studio. It does. And I think like, yeah, I think games like that, like you don't worry as much about the reuse of assets because you're kind of following a

plot forward. So like the genre, the genre switch is, you know, it's smart. And I think you need to like play to your strengths on that. Man, I got to say, I think I just received my most genuine compliment of my life from somebody in there in our chat today, which was that I am, I am just turning into Carl from Aquatine. Fucking sick. Well, not until Carl is the Carl is the shit, dude. Where's the wife beater? And the, I mean, I don't have one. And the, and the stray chest hairs. I have a couple stray chest hairs that you might be able to see if I had a wife beat her on.

You don't own a single wife beater. Why the fuck would I own a wife beater? Hot weather. That's what air conditioning is for. I don't know. I originally, I grew, I got vests as a kid because you would wear them under your church clothes. It was just, it was the proper thing to wear. Like when you learned to get dressed properly, you'd wear the vest, the wife beater, and then you'd put the dress shirt over it and then you'd put the suit vest over that and then the jacket. And that was the layers that you'd kind of wear. So you had to have an undershirt of some kind, but you didn't want one that

you'd be sweating up in. So the, the most ventilating form of undershirt would be. I don't think I've ever worn an undershirt of any kind in my life. Yeah. They serve a purpose. They serve a purpose. They're, you know, when you, when you don't want to like wreck up your dress shirt. What dress shirt? Well, that's, that's, I'm saying, what dress shirt am I wearing in my life? Okay. Well, that's weird. Why, why you gotta dress up? Just fucking, just fucking marriages, funerals. I've been to two marriages and one funeral in total. Did you rent for all of them? For my sister's wedding, I still fit into the, the shit that I got for my high school graduation.

And the family didn't wear suits and tie, you know, fancy things to my grandmother's wedding. Also, sometimes it was very casual. She wouldn't have given a shit anyway. She was cool. Well, every once in a while, sometimes there are like quote unquote functions. And like not, it's like in the modern parlance, because, you know, back in the day, a function would be. Oh, sorry, four weddings, four weddings. I forgot two other weddings. Yeah. So, you know, there'd be, there'd be occasions to be like, Hey, you can dress up slightly more than not at all. Um, company Christmas party, for example, for a lot of people would be like, Hey, okay, they want to see some kind of like slightly dressed up version of what you usually do.

Semi formal, etc. So, yeah, there's times. Nah. Not now, there's not. Not now. Certainly not now. Now that I'm an internet man and I can just show up and be like, nah, this is my brand and just wear the pajamas everywhere. Nah, but that time is gone. I had a lot of wife beaters and I would wear them as a kid because they were church undershirts. That's that's the usage. Man, I gotta say how fucking warped it is. I can't think of a single fucking item of clothing aside from a wife beater that just has such a fucking laughably strong judgment on the owner of the clothing item. Yeah, that that just like, like holy shit. You can thank the cops TV show rip for that one.

That's that's pretty much the first time I think I heard that not on it, but like from people talking about it. And it was just like, yep, that that that's the name of the article of clothing now. Um, oh, fedora's got rocked. Fedora's got rocked. I saw I saw somebody say like turtlenecks and like everybody loves turtlenecks. I'm wrong with a turtleneck. I loved I used to love turtlenecks not anymore, but I've worn a turtleneck. I looked all right. Girl wearing a turtleneck. That looks great. It's all good. Virgin killer. Yeah, that's all right. Oof. Yeah, fedora's and trilby's got annihilated. Oh man, I remember. I remember some I remember like the fucking wave of it's not a fedora. It's a trilby and just like

vomiting into your own your chat. It wasn't that for me. It was the fact that like I knew people that actually went out and had the hats and were wearing them before there was a before we knew that like lots of guys had the same idea at the same time. It was kind of like radio, you know, there was just a like, Hey, you know what's a thing? And they all just kind of went out and started doing it to be like a unique to go buy an article of clothing to replace personality. Yes. And it spread. It's just like tattoos and piercing just like anime Hawaiian shirts. Unfortunately, it never replaced a personality. It just broadcasted a type of personality. Now, those anime shirts in particular got I had a I had a couple and there was a weird overlap

there because you had you had two things happening at the same time. Now, I know you know about like just the like the button up nerd side of it, right, where a bunch of bunch of dorks we all knew and including myself would would wear these fucking Goku shirts or the first one I ever saw was a Hanzo from Samurai Showdown one. And I was fucking jelly. But it came out at the same time that there was like, like a black street fashion push in that same direction as well. So like, in particular, the iceberg shirt, you have these shirts with like bugs bunny on them, and with a lot of other like cartoon characters and things like that, those styles became fashionable at the time. And then it also came alongside this anime touch where it was a little

bit of the early days where people were like, wait, hold on a minute, black people like anime? What? You know? And so there was two things happening at the same time. So there was just like just full on geek anime geeks, whatever in general. And then there was like, like, black anime fans popping up that were wearing these things. And it was more street. And like, those two audiences kind of coalesced until we got to the point where we're at now with these shirts. And, you know, you wouldn't be out of place to see like a Kenshin or a Looney Tunes, you know, a fancy ass button up on somebody outside. But, you know, that that that had to go eventually that had to go. Every time you think you can't get more embarrassed about the past,

parts of the past that you've successfully deleted from your memory, come back, roaring, angry that you forgot. My god, that shit was so fucking embarrassing. Oh my god. My cousin had a black Bart shirt, baby, but he had a black Bart shirt. In fact, not only still don't know the genesis of that black Bart was on sale in numerous barber shops, numerous West Indian stores. You go down to Little Jamaica, right? You go down to corner cuts, crazy cuts, right? You're going to get your little edge up. You're going to get your little edge up, right? And then you're going to see, hey, what are we going to do today? You want the Nike Swoosh? What kind of part we're doing? You want to get

something going in the back? How are we going to handle this fate, right? You edge up and then on the way out, you see on the wall, little black Bart and you're like, that's hilarious. Let me get one of those. And then you rock, you rock a black Simpson shirt. And it's just, you know, it's just what it was. It's just what it was. It was a time. It was a place. You had to be there. It made sense. If you went to jump up, if you went to Jamaica Day, if you went to any Trinidadian festival, it was what it was. And you don't question it. You just watch as, as, as we take cartoon characters and we make them black and we put them on a shirt. And in Bart's case, in black Bart's case, he was still yellow. He was just darker yellow. You know, it was, it's like that.

Simpsons are so fucking weird looking, man. So when you change their race, but you have to keep the fucking yellow aesthetic going, it's like, it's, it's fucking, it's, it's fucking weird. Every artist had their own take on it. What are you going to, what are you going to do? But all this to say, all this to say that I think, I think the, the, the wife beater is definitely most appreciated, but fedora comes in a hard second place slash Trilby. And then there's, then you can vendor squabbling for, for whatever comes next. I had a, I had a, I had a period in time where I was rocking my pocket watch. I remember, yeah, I had a pocket watch. I got a gift from my mom for graduation. Oh man, I just

remembered my absolute most embarrassing fashion thing ever, which was like the fucking seven plus months that I decided to just keep wearing a Santa hat just casually. Yeah. And if anyone asked you, what are you doing? It was like, I like it. Oh man. That, that's that energy. That's that I'm looking for a personality energy. I have, I have none. I have no personality whatsoever. Here, let me attempt to create one. I will fashion it out of this hat and people will see me. It was called, it was, it was say, Jeff, wasn't it? Yeah, you saw, I sure did. It's coming back. And you would, you'd have this thing. I wore it for forever. You'd have this thing and people would just be like, what's with the guy with the Santa hat? And you'd be like, yeah, that's me. I'm the

guy with the Santa hat. What a wacky quirky guy. We should go find out more about him. He is a mystery. Fuck 100% the same energy, same energy. Let me go fuck at least accessorize a personality, bro. At least it was not. Oh God, but oh man, I think the worst part about it was that that thing got so hot. So like I stopped wearing it because we hit like the non winter months. And that became just untenable because I would put it on for like five seconds and I would just start sweating like crazy. But, but, but I gotta be interesting though. My head is burning at a massively uncomfortable sucks. There is liquid pouring down the back of my neck. But. Oh, it's gross. But nah, I gotta be interesting though. Yep. Yep.

And, and you, and that is, that is you interrupted me talking about a pocket watch, mind you, for that. So trust. Oh no, yours is way not a pocket watch at least is like a cool item. Again, it was a graduation gift. My mom got it for me. It was engraved with, you know, and I was like, yeah, this is nice. And I had my chain on a wallet anyway. So a chain like, like to not have my wallet like fall out or gets or whatever was already part of what was going on there. So I'm like, okay, I don't mind. I can just add that there. You know, walking around with an icebreaker on trying to get that conversation started. I did, man, I was, I was such a awkward,

fucked up dumbass in that era. Like, oh, I did. I don't know if you've ever seen the comic, but there's the comic of this guy. He's like, oh, I go back in time. He's a time machine. It's like shitty MS Paint comic. And he sees himself like in the college era. That's like, oh my God, I'll never get a girlfriend I hate. And he just picks up his past. Yeah, yeah, yeah, puts him into a meat grinder and starts to fade away like back to the future. And it just goes, I don't even care. Yeah, exactly. Right. Like that's how I view myself back when I was like 20. Pat, did you refuse to wear jackets when it was cold? I did. I did refuse to wear jackets when it was cold.

I'm just remembering. I did eventually get a second pocket watch. It was the Edward Elric one, the full metal alchemist one. I remember I saw that and I was like, oh, shit. Did you wear it on yours? No, no, that was just that was just a like, this is an item from the show slash manga. And I was like, oh, that's a, it's kind of like how like I have a fucking death note. You know, I'm like, that's merch. That's merch to me. Does it have the shit scrawled in? Don't forget. Never forget. It's scrawled in. I think it's, I think it's for something. I forget the date, so I did forget, but it does have the actual etched in date on it. Yeah. Oh, that was like, you know, I'm like, that's a pretty fun piece of merch to

get from a thing. I thought that was cool. But no, like the main pocket watch I used was the the gift one. So, you know, yeah, I think, I think like, I think that about this here, it's the, the ideal is that when you get old and die, you are the least embarrassing variant of every variation of yourself you've ever been. So it is unshocking to hear that decade old style, style variants of ourselves are in fact hyper embarrassing. You say that, but the oldest version of you, you know, in theory is, is just dropping shit right out of the butt and completely incontinent. So I mean, it's humanity starts at five, maybe seven, but it's supposed to end a whole lot earlier than 80. We weren't, we definitely were not meant to go that

long. We figured it out eventually, but back in the day, it was like, what do you like? You're like 20? Did you have a kid yet? What do you like 30? All right, you can go. Well, anyway, it's amazing how long you can live as long as you don't die. What's important is that you look at yourself right now, top to bottom, and then you, and then you think about a decade from now, all right, how you're going to look back at this form and absolutely die inside from, I'll probably just have nicer pajamas. Let's be real. You don't know what it is yet. There will be something about you right now that will absolutely embarrass and cringe the shit out of you in 10 years.

This will be hard to look at, but you got to figure out what. No, I'm good. You say that I've, I've hit the finality of my evolution where now I find it respectable to become more disgusting. You got lucky and fell into a niche side pocket on the Plinko board that allows you to become more disgusting and not endanger your ability to eat food, breathe air. Oh, I know. I know exactly what it's going to be. I know exactly what it's going to be. In 10 years, I'll have shit my pants at some point, and I will look back on the version of myself that's terrified daily of shitting his pants and go, uh, amateur as I shit my pants.

It's the overunder that you, uh, you tweet out the exact moment that it happens. Yeah, I'll be honest. My honor system guys, if I shit my pants, I'll tell you immediately. I'll cry a little bit first immediately. Yeah, but I mean, I'll cry. Okay, I'll cry it out. I'll cry it out first. Pre-shower. Uh, no, no, you don't get that. No one gets that. Like in the moment, we're talking live breaking news before you've even had a chance to assess the situation. No, no, I will. I will not. I don't tweet unclean. Thank you.

Sounds like sounds like sounds like bitch to me, but all right. Why don't you shit your pants and then you start tweeting with the poop in your eye will hit the periscope button. No, you won't. I won't. Yeah. Like, I'm like, you want, you want to put that's a limit right now? Fucking shit your pants right now. You're live right now. You don't even need to hit the button. Just do it. Do it pussy shit yourself. I don't have to. Don't you right now? No, I'm pretty, I'm pretty empty. Anything else?

Yeah, not really. Okay. I realized in my group of FF 14 buddies that like seven out of 10 of them have every single fucking class to cap. So I've decided to embark on that journey via what I'm going to call like osmosis peer pressure. But I mean, that's not all that interesting. I'm just grinding a lot of classes to cap. I played a lot of things. All right, what do we got one cracked open a new new journey posts Kotor playing some Halo. I've played the first half of Halo one, I think already. Holy shit. The master chief collection. Going back to see what's up play it because I played it as a multiplayer game with my

like nephews back in the day. But you know, and I remember like it just being around in a multiplayer context at like parties and things like that. But I never actually sat down and went like, Oh, let's just play this, this, you know, sorry mode, the campaign. So going through it. And man, one thing that like there's a lot that's pretty great about it. But one thing that really, really stands strong is the fucking music is incredible. Oh yeah, that's good. Music is so strong. Good news. Most notable about the game is yeah, just how many banger tracks are kicking in on a regular basis. Other fun thing about the master chief collection on PC. Well, I don't I think this is in both versions of the game. I'm not sure. But you hit that back

button and the game just switches back to the original. Yeah, that's that's an all verse. So you just alternate between whatever you want at the time. No questions asked. It's a cool goddamn feature. Well, it's the perfect like, Oh, you hate what you're looking at and you just wanted an uprest version of the old thing. Here it is. Oh, do you want to check it out for a second and then switch back? Here you go. Magical. Um, you know, loading gone and even the new features that they put in. So they put in collectible skulls and they put in terminals that have spoilers on them. I don't know where that I'm dodging the terminals. I'm we're dodging the terminals. But we are when you switch back to the classic mode, you they they cease to exist. Oh, we're cool.

So you just you can walk over the item in classic mode and it won't it just doesn't exist. It's like it's literally just the old game. So fucking incredible. And I want more remakes to have things like that. Because, you know, unless they go for like, like we've rearranged the stage or the or the content in some way, if you can do that, that would be a great feature. I remember Ninja Turtles on Xbox 360, the turtles in time remake, it was garbage, but it had that ability as well. Where you just hit the button to go back to the classic on it, you know, and that way you can just like you ultimately you just stop one form of complaint, which is just I wanted the original. It's like, well, here it is, you know. And the game that you're remaking should be faithful enough

that like you can feel every little aspect of it, like being that accurate that you can just input the exact same thing in the assets and everything displaying is just, again, looks better, but it's it's still works 100% identically. Halo actually looks the because of the way the game was the way the textures worked in the in the older version of it, it's easier to read and pick up items and see what's going on. Because the fucking the MCC version adds a lot of like foliage and like texture work that makes it harder to notice things on the ground, you know, it's actually like kind of interesting where you have to switch you don't have to but we switch back sometimes to just be like oh yeah right over there okay when I want to scan the room for a gun

or scan the room for an item or something that's going on it sometimes is easier to just go back to the original because it's just much flatter but yeah it's cool man it's it's it's you know it's not much to say enjoying John Halo and slowly finding out what's going on with his name is actually John Halo that's where you go finding out what the deal is with this uh Cortana start menu and why why I can't get rid of it and actually the catalyst for what made me interested um there's a lot I mean I've always been curious but something that pushed a good deal was someone sent in a message that was just a list of ship names from the Halo franchise and oh yeah they're and I fucking was really impressed really impressed

by the ship names in that franchise like they're the exact kind of naming conventions that I like that I have used for my own stories in the past and my own cannons like uh um yeah pillar of autumn is a great one but like they just they went down the list of like human and uh covenant ships and I was like okay these are really really strong names yeah um you get into shit for the like the most off tangent race it's so crazy to me like the the impetus for you getting into what are ostensibly like like huge mainstream classics are always these like little tertiary pieces that just hit a specific piece of your brain details matter details matter what can I say I like specific things um it's also why

so many people are so bad at predicting what I'm gonna like and not like in some cases like there's a lot of people that do get me but there's a lot of people that think they have me pegged that super dope and uh yeah there's these little just little details that like I'm like that that hits me that hits me in right in the right in the aesthetic lower case with spaces between each letter even for me I'm like just terrible at figuring out like what you actually like so like the the best the best mentality that I've been able to like latch on to is uh okay do I like it all right there's a 50 50 chance that you'll like it and as long as it doesn't have a lot of progression hooks because well it doesn't get hooked by progression hooks yeah you know um in some cases

it's it's it's mechanical but I mean in the case of halo I know what halo is I know like you know what I mean like it's just been sitting there and that's always been like uh I wonder what's going on with that and that's about it that's the end of the thought um so when I see a little detail like like oh fuck look at these cool names it makes me think I wonder if there are other things that are this well detailed and handled in this franchise because if you show me an example of this good of a job done with this specific naming convention I'm going to hope and that you extrapolate that type of creativity elsewhere into it so now I want to go find more of this you know in some cases it's it's I'm mistaken and what people told me about was the only cool thing

and it was like oh well you told me the only cool thing the rest is not that great but other times oh man I'm gonna bummer you know but some but every once in a while it's like no that really was just the tip of the iceberg and there was a lot of great shit happening here you know yeah if I if like I you were you asked earlier like what's the deal with halo and all I could think of my brain just wanted to shout out big levels shoot like that's that's the deal with the halo big levels and and sci-fi gunning instead of realistic gunning you know uh that's all cool and and and I know that it's mainly about it's a console multiplayer game that like everyone fucking lived on like that's kind of picked up the slack that perfect dark and

golden eye laid down but but yeah when it comes to when it comes to lore you know like that can that can pull me in and I can and I can even look past like um I can look past mechanical uh I guess what's the word hurdles for me or mechanical like revulsion in a way like things that are like oh I'm turned off by that but if there like if the if there's like a good lore that can carry it in a way depends though depends and I also have to kind of not be spoiled on it too in a weird way but yeah I don't know man I don't know I can't fully break it down something at master chief collections like a really weird uh what what is the last game in master chief it's halo one two three odst and reach yes and uh the last the last two are not available

yet so right now on pc only only reach one and two are available three and odst have to be are going to be added later a four as well halo four is in there it's I'm just gonna look it up I have seen in front of me yeah it's a giant game list it's it seemed like it was I think everything but five but I'm not 100% so let's see what's it got it's got it's got the halo one it's got the halo two it's got the halo reach there's no odst or uh it's no odst or uh what do you call it three on here yet which is really bizarre actually um those are good games you you can just you can just fucking not you just not play halo four onwards

well we'll we'll we'll find out um what I do know is that in three John halo came back to finish the fight he did and and then there was more fighting to finish many many more fights to fight so re finish the fight again halo four if I remember correctly one of the big uh complaints that people had of it was that it brought in like a ton of shit that was like I hope you read those halo books it's like no I fucking didn't no one did I'm sure the person that's yelling at me that they did right now I can prove to you that no one read those halo books how can you prove to me that no one read those halo books do you remember how uh the spartan outfit jerks you off

when you're stressed there's a stress release do you remember that I'm gonna say no I don't remember we we talked about it we talked about it years ago I bet we did we talked about a lot of we talked about the page there's a page in one of the books where it says uh that was posted where it said it describes that the spartan armor uh features uh all the latest data the art technology including stress release for soldiers that need it in order to keep them focused on their tasks at hand and then they kind of cut off mid-sentence all right right okay so that spread like wildfire so you'll suck your dick got it that spread like wildfire and everybody everybody was in on that and it went it fucking it blew up uh turns out it was a photoshop

turns out that page isn't real that page was completely completely fake but but the fact that no one knew that it was phase proof no one read those books that that exactly took too long took too long to uncover the truth everyone got exposed so um but yeah man it's good it's good and i i i'm a i'm a fan of uh wacky um you're coming on a podcast in 2020 going yes i played halo one and um yeah that's me it's good it's good you know what i just beat i just beat kotor two you know what i played before that or two it get shut the fuck up that is the most bullshit you know what i played before that comparison half life you know what i played

before that spec ops the line also doom problem problem the only problem i have is your comparison of like the cultural fucking cachet of halo versus kotor two what are you talking about like you go yeah i just played halos uh your halos and it's like yeah kotor two is is i'm not going to say it's obscure but there wasn't a halo on a fucking doritos sorry there wasn't a fucking kotor on the doritos fair enough but i name it anyway as an example of a game that my circle at the very least and my friends since high school have been pushing me to play it has been an ever-present thing floating on the bubble of the outside but halo is of course fucking halo the point remains is i have i have no issue

whatsoever going back in and checking shit out it's a good time these are good games but yeah halo what's up i like that's all right i like the games i honestly always thought it was like like laughably overrated uh i like they're good but people that were just like this gray sponge i'm setting my brain back level design i'm setting my brain back to the era that these games were in to try and think about it with that sort of you know mentality so um you know within that i'm i'm i'm having a good time with these old classics and i'm finding out why they're so beloved i'm finding out the reasons why people enjoyed them and uh i understand you know um i like guns that are uh fake that do cool things fake as shit fake as shit crazy alien guns

some good stuff shoot all the needles blow them up hell yeah this one charges i always run into the same like argument that makes people super pissed off at me whenever i say it when i say i think that halo was like very overrated and then i always i always do the same thing i always go and type in halo one release date and i was like 2001 okay and i go halo two release date and i was like that's 2004 and i'm like half-life two release date was 2004 yeah yeah halo two was like a fucking joke that year when everyone was like this game of the year it's like compared to half-life two and doom three came out that year as well i guess i'll find out eventually because i can't make the comparison at the moment yeah but i thought for sure you were

going to jump to half-life two not immediately but you don't do that that's that's one of the the biggest differences between you and i is that well you'll go back to like game one from like the odds or you know earlier even and you'll be like wow this series is really cool i totally miss this and then you'll be like all right now to wait three four years for the next one that came out in 2002 but you're framing it interestingly because you know what's happening in between that time i'm playing some other good shit what's happening i'm playing some other good shit that's true there's tons of good shit so uh if you frame it like oh i'll just sit and wait and twiddle my thumbs for a couple years and then do the next thing yeah that sounds terrible but nah in the meantime

let's pop on paper fucking mario and have a great time with that because it's such a cool game you never know i've never played that in your door i keep i keep it's so good to do it you know well now i can't do it now you're doing and here's the other thing right i gotta wait like here's the other thing what you have to understand is that um that there is the horse blinder effect on uh on any lp where the number one thing you're gonna hear as you're playing a game is do the next thing after this in the same thing oh play the sequel and i remember c2's best i remember this as early as the first lp of donkey kong country right way back in the day the main the one of the most frequent things was that can't wait for dkc2 you know so it is literally every game

that has ever been played the only thing that people are thinking of is the next one after this and then just keep doing the thing and it's like i hear that and i know the next one's good but there's some other thing that you're not thinking of at all that you will love the moment it hits you out of nowhere but you don't know what that is so you're not thinking about it what you are thinking about is the sequel here you know like definitely there's tons of sequels to things we've played so far but more fun than that is some crazy other good shit you couldn't see coming and for me it keeps it interesting especially i like jumping around i like the variety it's super fun to jump from a game like uh uh uh like cotor into paper mario and and halo into like other shit you know

like absolutely and and you know it's definitely like the unstated is oh yeah we got jetset radio future we got bao too ever since way back when we were doing some early lps from a long time ago but you know if you like it like i bet you like all those thoughts about like getting that sequel tend to evaporate the moment you're looking at the cool thing that happened immediately you know so for now it'll be um about of course the rest of the halo franchise but those games are pretty short so that might happen pretty quickly but um but like it'll be about the other paper marios for example without necessarily considering like oh fuck there's some other crazy shit out there so i like it it keeps it fun for me it keeps it enjoyable and i feel like i'm um

catching up on on on like lost history in a way uh through yeah a little more like a little pocket little separate pockets in the fog of war as opposed to one big spot that expands you know but at the same time hey i tell you what i tell you what though so you're describing when you're playing something and people like man can't wait for the next thing um i am that kind of person but i felt nothing of that when you were playing the cotor too because that would mean that you would have to go and play a tour yeah you don't you just don't have you just don't have to do that you just that there's well you know i can i can fortunately say you know shout outs to uh asana she uh got all the cutscenes that matter and all the trailers that matter and summarized essentially

what happens in suitor and uh i caught the cool bits and i caught the not cool bits and we're good those cinematic trailers are really cool don't need to talk about revin or the exile though no no don't need just don't need to do that okay that's okay you know um yeah big old big old ball drops where there was tons of potential but nonetheless i i i say that uh i enjoy building out these different pockets in different in different areas even though there is a slight continuity in the form of first person shooters which were yeah they're which were something that i was always bad at you know so yeah man um that's that yeah you needed to wait until the technology caught up with your fucked up but i needed my i needed my cube i needed my tactical assault commander

yes well anyway um and i'm playing halo on i'm playing halo with the controller you know like that's it's made for it i mean that's what it was made for it yeah no totally but um i mean that was clearly a franchise bungee was working on for the mac back in the day that like you know they kind of they kind of like they've been working on it forever it became a much different project from what they intended but like i mean it's basically marathon but like i don't know if they expected it to like scale up to this like industry defining level you know um and it is it is fun to kind of go back and and see things and go like oh yeah prior to this games weren't really doing regenerating health you know um things that things that that that like they might have existed but they weren't

widely pushed until this point you know so um that's what's going on and i also um yeah i also on just on my own time for funsies went back to take a look at way of the passive fist and boy i forgot how fucking hard that game was yeah it's for it throws the wall at you immediately if you recall the second boss with the sunlight what is your job to be the wall will you will see the light um you have to be the wall and it asks you to like get good immediately it asks you to get good immediately and it also it's interesting in that like it's you have a ton of difficulty options you can customize the difficulty in that game better than any other game out there honestly i i i mentioned it before but i need to give it

another shout out because it has four sliders for difficulty and each one gives you a different um adjective to describe what kind of wanderer you are uh and one of them is the number of encounters so just literally how often you will fight dudes one of them is enemy strength how hard they hit one of them is combo mastery and one of them is resourcefulness how often you get items and things that what does combo mastery actually do i think combo mastery is how strict the timing is is on your on your parries and your counters and your dodges okay so it lets you fine tune shit in such a specific way uh i love it i love that that's such a great idea you know um it's definitely one that like makes it i guess if you want to if you're someone that wants to do like a

kind of like i want to beat each difficulty and just get the like the completion sort of get the achievement type of thing um then you what you what you probably need would do is like if you set them all to the lowest then it creates a like preset sort of like you're a what you're like the the the easiest wanderer kind of thing the photo updates all in the middle is default and then all at the hardest is like way of the master so like if you want to just kind of have a pre-canned version of all three you can just do like one two or three but it just breaks up all those difficulties options into four separate sliders you can manage individually uh brilliant really really cool with that um other thing yeah way of the pacifist um it just like after that second boss where they just

like ask you to really master the mechanics they start flooding the stage with like hazards and bullshit and then like the bosses after that just get even more ridiculous and it is a fucking awesome game but like it is one that reminds me of you know any platinum game we like or or um dmcs and that a lot of the difficulty you have is self-imposed you can probably handle this easier by of course you can you can drop the difficulty of course but you can also use like dodges to like inefficiently handle some enemies but if you perfectly time a parry you can like get an instant kill on them you get a bigger reward and by parrying and building up more more parry super meter you can unlock bigger better supers but the moment you fuck up once

you lose all your bar so it encourages you to constantly try to do the harder thing for a bigger reward and like your own mind goblins so to speak are gonna make you like you fucked up you're gonna go back to doing the hard thing until you get it right as opposed to like you know popping a gold skull for another gold skull um a gold orb you know so uh yeah way of the pacifist fucking just fun game to revisit and um and i want to i also wanted to go through the dlc because i know there was a new dawn dlc that kind of came out for it so i'm just like kind of going back through it but uh wanted to shout it out again because it doesn't get nearly enough love for like how interesting of a game it is and i really enjoy

games that are um difficult through self-imposed limitations in a way it's it's hard because you want to do it the right way and the right way feels good to do uh i should have given that game more time yeah go grab it it's i'm pretty sure it's been on sale forever oh i i picked it up i just there was um there was a uh a good bit of time when the fuck is fight night coming out jesus lord i know that's a bit off sequitur but i just went on to steam to check out like if i oh if i to double check whether or not i had way past this yeah and in my wishlist fight night is just fucking staring at me yeah i think those i think those guys were having some um of the similar issues with uh publishing that we saw happening with like devil engine and stuff

like that like i think they were having some they were having some publishing problems uh unfortunately but uh i know that that's still being worked on but like yeah there's just some garbage surrounding uh i forgot the full details of it but like yeah for a while like devil engine got like held up because they literally just weren't allowed to release it or some some fucked up story like that it was it was it was it's a fucking stupid yeah it was it was dangin being shit you know um don't work with dangin so ben just a jerk i spent quite a good spell of time

playing a game which if i pull it up let's see if you recognize this the soundtrack hmm see if you can figure out what game it is yeah i don't know also the sound quality coming through my headphones is shit like it is stopping and starting and breaking all over no nothing not dude i don't think you understand it's not working at all fucked up the sound i'm okay all right that's fine triple triad has been all right a good

bit of my time this week uh when i feel like switching over from teppen that's weird none of the music i heard was in triple triad this song i played at the was triple triad there but i don't know like how the oh at the end there oh because it was cutting out horribly this is the triple triad song yeah there's uh oh he will be shuffle yeah so anyway triple triad fucking great played it a lot still enjoy it still a good game still what i'm looking for um i was basically jumping into gwent to see what was up with the you know like can i just do a quick little uh i feel like killing some time here and just doing a little pop up up up up throw the cards down and um i i was able to basically go back to the source of what i wanted

on that and just fucking play some triple triad and it's as great as it always was and um what format are you actually playing it is in the ff portal app there is oh god that is true they did release the you download the ff portal and in the top corner there's a button to go to the triple triad game i don't know what the app does i have no idea i've never looked at anything except for that button some shit pops up and i just mash past it and i hit the triple triad button and then i go and i play some triple triad now unfortunately um it uses uh like the game center and then you play online in with people but like no one's fucking on this thing ever so it's mostly just playing against the computer but they like drop the ball and that laugh leaves fucking yeah

it's it's kind of insane that like they decided to go about this in this way as opposed to just making a gigantic simple triple triad card game that would be on its own as it's as a major product right now like square would make so much money if they just made a triple triad stand alone piece no i don't want to but you know whatever um instead they do things like yeah they put it in 14 right um and they kind of just have it in this weird way where they're just like just embrace it just make it a standalone thing with lots of cards that people can play and have fun against each other with but anyway they don't want it so that's fine um in the meantime i'm playing this version of it and playing against the computer and there's lots of different collectible cards you get from

you know whatever winning you steal your card after you beat somebody and it's still good so that's a great time waster um when i need a quick break from from from other shit are you like are you like intentionally going around and like just doing every like just gonna hit every card no necessarily or is this just happens your brain just went hey man i mentioned triple triad last week fucking triple triad actually so i mentioned gwent when i was talking about like oh i wanted to go see because it seemed like it was going to be kind of as good as pizak or triple triad and then someone sent me a link that went hey did you know that it's in the portal app and i went no i didn't and i went and i was like holy fuck here it is it is in the

portal i didn't know that how about so now i now i've been told about it so now i'm playing it that's how that happened yeah yeah and i know runeterra is there i hear it i hear you i also know about i didn't say anything i didn't say you know you said it last week um oh yeah i did the actual magic the gathering arena i would actually point you to is a game that i didn't know existed at all um and i think i looked it up and apparently that was that game's massive failure is the people didn't know it existed at all apparently thrown break thrown breaker is literally the game you were asking for last week for like gwent but pve went yes i got and apparently it's incredible and no one knew it came out i got

a whole lot of news about that too yeah well i mean i was there on the state when the stage announcement for gwent happened so i remember being like oh they took the card game out of the witcher and then made it its own thing so thrown breaker it's a game did not hear about that in any way shape or form um yeah yeah i'm down to go see what that's about too no problems because it's basically like you know just uh i'm more or less like the the the the teppen ladder remains what it is you know and um i it's just it's a it's a persistent thing of just like okay i know what i know about these decks right now and there's a new character the new character is going to come soon um the uh palico is coming out next and you know until that happens feline

feline feline and until that people are asking why it's not palico and that's because feline is the race palico is the job palico is the job okay well until it comes out you know i got i got not much to say uh and yeah took a fucking big old deep dive into mugan world oh god oh christ oh yeah i i told the full story the full story of my mugan history and then decided to go in and find out what was happening um i've told it a couple times but i don't think i've ever told it in in the fullest depth that i did uh when we got into mugan so i decided to go look and see and uh we played one of the most advanced mugan projects ever put out which was the capcom versus snk3 fight of the millennium pack which for a second there i was

expecting you to say that you dive dove into the mugan world and was you were back to making your own character no no i told everyone about my history with mugan and then i went through the history of mugan over the years afterwards uh and how it got to the the final state which is of course salty bet but but before that um there was a really impressively put together capcom versus snk3 pack game that has a full like it has its its full like loading screens presentation custom everything everything looks real everything looks legit it is it has got the sounds and sights of a cvs3 and um a lot and like they've got uh the characters that are kind of their filter to resemble each other they look a bit like cvs2 sprites but like with some extra was kind of like a uh

like yeah just pixel filtering on them to make them blend but they pulled in some rival schools characters they threw in um some obscure like snk characters in there they got eliza playable um what and it's a pretty eliza is playable and it's a pretty fucking and it's a pretty decent sprite edit of mackey they got uh blare daemon there like yeah it was it was like they put the work in i'm like okay i see what you're doing here they they have like resets matter and and just you know um all things all things considered i'm like yeah i'm i'm impressed with how much work you put in here even though the characters are not balanced in any way shape or form shit's broken as fuck some people can air dash like

guilty gear and triple jump and others are slow and like you know street fighter to esk uh but hey it's you know it like what it it's fucking mugan right so this is a great example of of how far you can take the program and then of course uh salty bet had to be had to be watched so you gotta do it at this point and you know i i i kind of said it during the the stream but i'm happy i'm happy with the place mugan ended at which is the salty bet as its final form because salty bed is the most enjoyable and accessible version to the largest amount of people of i'll make your own fighting game engine yeah you don't even have to play it you just have to enjoy you don't even have to play it you don't have to make it you don't have to do anything

you just have to tune in and it's a it's it's what we always say fighting games have the potential to be which is the perfect spectator sport two life bars two characters no one knows their moves if you had to learn how to play quote unquote salty bet it would be impossible jesus christ it would be impossible right but the dream of what we believe in when it comes to fighting games being potentially more popular is absolutely perfectly encapsulated by salty bet where you just press the button to turn it on and you see two characters and you don't know anything about them but you're like i'm in i like that guy i like that guy i like her oh man it's it's silver silver samurai oh that's cool it's it's fucking this guy yeah let's go

you know and then you just see whatever nonsense takes place and you enjoy it and then you're surprised you're you know they're you're shocked you're putting your fucking money down you're losing it it's it's it's all the fun of the horse races except it's with very easy to understand fighting games you got meter you got life you got two characters beat you up so that's what i'm happy i'm happy i'm happy that salty bet is like the final resting place from ugin you know um as long as that exists and there must always be a salty bet uh you will always you will always have the purest form of like the dream of fighting games just everybody just get everybody in there man

it would be awesome if there was a way to like if down somewhere down the line there was a game that like allowed for i don't know something that allowed for a spectator level of uh the level of excitement that comes from watching salty bed except it's people playing you know yeah it's called game of course of course but i mean i mean specifically it's called evo having a gambling twitch but i mean specifically with fighting games and i mean specifically like i like all day you know but yeah so uh good times all of that uh the the mugen adventures are going to be popping up in the form of getting to fighting games and getting to salty bet

a little later on the channel this week and uh yeah halo with me and little v going down you can check that out as well i think the first episode the in anime form at least is debuting today um since the master chief collection has no couch co-op we're actually uh really no couch co-op so we are doing um two different feeds and uh like at least for the first episode they're going to be edited into like alt into highlights but after that we might go to split screen or something else because it was way too nightmarish in the editing process for men so we will see how it goes it has couch co-op on the console version it does not have it on the pc why not on the i don't know but the feature is missing on pc

so come on you can do that it has it has graphics so you can check that all out you you can get graphics on pc yeah i know they could have but they didn't do it fucking socks bro you can check that all out over on woolly versus on youtube and uh yeah streaming uh on twitch as well woolly versus on twitch we're going to be doing um yeah halo and paper mario the thousand year door continues the fucking mind plan this week said this moment where i'm saying i have no fucking idea we also went back to worms we played some worms oh yeah worms is a good fucking game yeah but each one gets worse yeah but the newest worms did add something really cool the newest worms uh wmd has uh vehicles and

like you can jump into a giant robot so that was cool but everyone just kind of like is like ah but but worms armageddon though you know yeah man so then we played worms armageddon that's great yeah that's good uh i just checked my fucking shit i'm streaming some uh i'm streaming what do you call it i'm streaming ori this week i'm going to take a look at uh fucking uh uh some more dead by daylight get to do an ff14 stream been a million years since i did that i'm also going to see how far i can get in dusk because that game is the shit that game is the fucking shit uh i'm fucking love does i'm gonna iron out the kinks on um my schedule but uh i'll publish it after this because it's left to decide there's a

couple of things that i need to figure out if i can do or not have you checked out the new schedule tool they got on the fucking on the uh i didn't check it out but i saw it exist it seems to be automatic right it just kind of like uh well what you do is you go into preferences and you switch the fucking games around okay and uh then then it displays on like a schedule yeah that was pretty on your uh i'm using it to like not only as a schedule tab but i'm taking just screenshots of the fucking thing and posting it to my twitter like it looks nice and when you go to the schedule tab and then you click on it it gives you like the vaude for that shit like in the past it seems to be a hell of a lot more useful for non variety people because um like you can't plan in advance

but is it showing you the the past or the future it's showing you this week so i change it on sundays okay so it's showing you what's upcoming and if you if you're in the middle of the week it'll it'll put a vaude and what if it hasn't happened yet it'll just put like the icon of the game okay cool that's good that's good um yeah so that'll uh yeah i'll take a look at that then right oh yeah if you want to check out my streaming check it out at twitch.tv slash pat stairs that that'll be uh starting at four p.m this week a couple things happened this week a couple announcements nothing humongous but there are some stories in the news first though we should

let's just get right to it all right let's do it but kind of you be care you kind of be be care you want i'm sorry kind of you what kind of pubic hair you want i'm different curly like like strong nappy uh thin and wispy what are we doing i'm indifferent we can we can do classic curly we can go classic curly or that okay you've got two types of penis you can go with all right i have multiple side suspicion i know what types of penis that is uh there's multiple size options yeah but in terms of type you can

choose your types all right um strong fighting uh rock type electric type i suspect i suspect we're going the recognizable type uh-huh and the full-on robot i don't think that's what the types are gonna be i think that's what the types might be they might it might be recognizable and full-on robo i don't think that's what the types are gonna be we'll we'll find out different size options of course now what kind well they're gonna be circumcised and uncircumcised oh yeah that's true too you fucking dumbass okay but we'll kind of we'll kind of a jj though what kind of jj we rock in there there is only one option this is true i thankfully that customization article because whatever you want to call it for um

you could have had two types there but that's cyberpunk that's not good like the actual stupidest fucking thing i've seen in a long time the game is played 99 percent in the first person like the fuck does any of this matter hey that's never stopped any of these first person games from fucking detailing shit you can't see before stupid as shit the fuck is skyrim doing well skyrim has a button you can hit to play third person all right i wish i hope you can play the whole game third person i would i wish cyberpunk would let you do that but they i think they did they de-confirmed it already yeah and destiny here's the tease here's the tease while you don't even don't even talk to me about that

shit i'm so fucking i installed that game played it for two hours but what the fuck am i doing and uninstall it that's correct anyway we have cyberpunk 2077 character customization five types of pubic hair two penis types as you probably correctly pointed out circumcised and uncircumcised are likely going to be the options yes thankfully those are not the options on the vagina however there is one and then we have three variations of nipples so i think you know i think i think we can outie no no no no no like big old dinner plate oh pepperoni pepperoni small and non-existent all right that's like that the one that doesn't even have any coloring on it all right i imagine you can then go let and deal with your piercings and shit later at your cosmetic person they're not

you're not going to be stuck with cosmetics on it on automatically yeah that's what's going down 35 hairstyles i think we can do with 35 hairstyles as long as you can move them around and position them as you would like don't limit us on the hair what do you mean like put them on your arm no so in code vein it's got the hairstyles but then you can swap them so that like if you want a part on the left side you can you can mirror the hair going the opposite side so you can wear them in more than one way uh-huh so i'd you know just make sure that you can do things like that or perhaps even like if you want to um kind of layer them in so that like you can sometimes create kind of cool custom customized things like sometimes you can you know like

soul caliber will let you put two types of things at the same time to kind of if they come if they combine in an interesting way you know so yeah allow for all that funsies but yes it is first person so eh unfortunately you're not going to fully enjoy it most of the time uh which in games like this i would want to stare at it all day yeah i don't know how i feel about that game like cyberpunk 2077 yeah really it looks so cool i'm really excited for it what's the trepidation i get a feeling that that game keeps getting remade over and over possibly but does is there anything about it that looks bad like so far everything i've seen looks rad everything we have seen looks rad but for a game that's been in development for so long

and is supposedly near but keeps getting delayed over and over and is on like super infinite crunch i'm shocked we haven't seen more okay um that doesn't equal like i thought there was something that you saw that you were like i saw this footage of something that looked shitty and thus i am worried about no i just there's something about it that makes me wary especially since uh some of the hands on uh they did let people play hands on and people were like yeah the shooting is bad

which makes sense honestly yeah i don't know shit looks hot i guess uh what's the what's the uh crunch situation though not to just handbrake wave over that because that sounds pretty shit oh they've been crunching for like 11 months uh has has have has has cd project addressed this in the past oh yeah they said well that's just what you gotta do you want to make big games like i i mean i made i i i like fucking shadow over uh druchman for being the crunch lord which he is but fucking nobody has a candle to like cd project because they're out in poland and they don't give a shit like you look at the you

look at the fucking photos of the staff during the various Witcher games and they are just melting i've seen the photo of the director yeah across from each game that's the one i've seen that i've seen that i've seen that but uh also there's been all sorts of allegations about like their fucked up work environment like uh there was a unsubstantiated rumor uh that there was a like massive shit fight between one of the gameplay directors and the actual director uh over how garylt should control in Witcher 3 and they basically kept just making changes to the goddamn game without telling the other until the guy who wanted garylt to control well got fired over it and then the game came out and everyone's like garylt controls like shit

and then they put the alternate control in that's stupid it sure is now again unsubstantiated but i don't know that seems legit that's a bummer because as someone who has not played cd project games well technically i guess now i've played gwent technically i've played gwent um i thought that the the promotional and source material for cyberpunk had me immensely excited everything i've seen has looked fucking awesome um the you know the promise of like what kind of world that's gonna be and just like the finer details of it based on the the tabletop game um is something that seems like super rich and inexorable so i'm just like fuck yeah like if this is gonna deliver on that um i'm very excited

you know for for all of that plus you know me i love character customization all these things are good signs in my books so um you know i also just don't have that sort of like i like you're like i don't know what the word is but it's like you kind of look at something based on like the schedule of time creates a potential red flag that you kind of hold up in a way i don't have that necessarily because i'm fine to you know let a thing happen and then see how it go but um i what you're describing here so one thing that i feel extremely confident about and everybody's saying that like i'm just trying to kill everybody's hype or whatever there's no way that game's coming out in this year there's absolutely no goddamn way in hell

sure that that is not a reality uh i bet it's that doesn't push back like another six months because i have waited for cd pray at games and they always get pushed back again and again and again that doesn't that doesn't affect how i feel about how good it is when i i'm playing it though it affects how i i feel about it right now because i bet that game is in a fucked up state right now yeah but i'm able to not care about that when it's out because then it's there so who cares they're making it we've had this discussion before in many forms but it essentially is it's being made it's it's being made i don't whatever i don't care when it's here then i'm like cool now let's see what's up but i don't carry over any of that like preparation like

develop yeah somebody pointed out that i'm talking to a guy who's playing halo one right now so what the fuck do you care about what it comes out uh it's fair enough if you want to take it to that extreme certainly but the point remains is i i'm my basis for what i like is what the game is going to be and if it isn't a fucked up state right now and it doesn't launch in a fucked up state then that's a good thing oh it'll launch in a fucked up state it's okay pray a game okay it will absolutely launch in a fucked up state okay there's no question i have no experience with them on that so that sucks but all but all i guess i'm trying to say is that the you know

like the whatever's happening now side of things i'm like yeah okay that's cool but whatever when it's in my hands then that's when you start that's when that's when the ticker starts almost you know the rest of it's invisible it's invisible shit man i'm not trying to convince anybody i'm just saying like yeah it's something about it's not the the the timing and the things that they've shown i went from being absolutely very excited to just kind of being like i don't know i'm not as confident with this as i was before hmm willy the consumer yeah i guess if that's the way if that's how you want to simplify it if that's all it takes there's no no nuance whatsoever it's just you know accept what is

and that's all there is to it so um so yeah pick your dick type there you go that's the new story i don't understand like out of all the things that they've shown off in the past like they're the 90 minutes thing a while ago right why is everyone freaking out over the the fucking character customization well for one thing i happen to really like character customization in general i think it's hilarious that they're giving you those options because no other games do that and i think it's also hilarious that um in a world where we are constantly having discussions about how lewd and uh uh uh you know how lewd japanese games can get with their fan service this game is just like yo what kind of dick do you want

and it's just the it's the most out there unstreamable and it's like no it'll be streamable dumbasses nobody understands the twitch to us it's fucking like it's like you know what i mean we're trying to figure out like how the fuck tacky's outfit works it does here comes and here comes this fucking game that's just like yo here's your vagina or not whatever what do you want curly straight bushy fries treasure trail straight line you heard triangle how do you want to shave the pube fucking you know shape like it's just it's the most raw energy ever alongside you know uh uh all this other right these other this other stuff so it's just like you don't ever get this you know the last the last game where you talked about what the fuck your

dick looks like was rust oh god that's true that is the last game i talked about or i talked about what my dick looks like thus i'm endlessly fascinated by the fact that you know this is in there and i also think it's uh it probably bodes well for the rest of the character creation options but we'll see oh yeah conan conan had the big old dicks too yeah i don't know if that game ever stopped being a mess i remember we played it way back and it just felt like it was like oh man there's a term oh god what who sweating it felt like the game was sweating like just like no don't uh let me let me die you know that kind of feeling

and then you know how there's like those cut scenes you know that there's that rendered trailer with the uh with the blade arms and stuff yeah christ that was like six years ago yeah what else can you put blades inside of no that's enough of that you heard me yep i heard you you heard me yep that's correct you're thinking about it too late there it is let it in let it in this isn't what they mean by sword fighting willy

what about space talking what about space talking now you've got tech what i don't i'm not even i'm not even following here sure robotics okay parts moving right changing shape transformers doing what they got to do uh-huh space talking all right that's becomes possible with robotics

cyberpunk no i'm good i'm good with this you are good with this you are good with this i'm yeah what's the next story please well the next story is one that we actually probably should have talked about last week um crash bandicoot four it's about time good subtitle what do you think it's about i think it's about time travel yeah uh i saw the before i even saw the trailer for this game i saw um people debating crash's appearance and i can say as a crash bandicoot outsider that i think his new look is very cool yeah somebody played those crash games yeah i don't know what the fuck you guys are complaining about i don't get the problem at all i think he's charming that's a fun little mascot he's still orange he looks good i also

uh there's just there's something weird about being old enough to remember when crash first came out and looking at it and going like what the fuck is this weird triangle mascot they're pushing for here are you trying to like go for your own sonic or mario like rival like what are we doing that's exactly what it was yeah and you're like aren't we past the days of titus the fox and aero the acrobat you know um and then and it came out and it did its thing uh and like created a great franchise and now we're so we're years later looking at a new entry that is a much of a much beloved thing and there is like purists for the original look which i remember at the time being what the fuck is this bullshit like i remember i remember looking

at the first design for crash and being like what are you doing back in the day and now people are like pining for the purity shows up really well on a fucking ps1 pining for the purity of the thing that looked like bullshit to me back in the day it's just it's funny how the the the march of time continues on you know man that i couldn't fucking believe it's one of those things like we have to do it because it's classic but like they're still gonna be levels where you run towards the camera that's like jesus christ i thought we were done with that i thought we were done with that well those levels are terrible the thing with these games though is that like it has a lot of like memory nostalgia to live up to and those were defining parts of the franchise though

running backwards as the thing was coming behind you or shit so those levels so you gotta do those because that's what people love and remember you know you just have to you gotta do it i don't want to i i agree though not seeing what's coming is is for me is a frustrating ass thing i'm not a fan of that in general if the camera is too tight running towards but yeah sucks ass dude it's it's the law it's the that's uh a little bit surprised though that like this wouldn't drop on ps5 day one and we're gonna see a lot of cross whatever the fuck i bet but

it just it feels like it would be like the proper mascot drop you know for it to carry the weird because sony never owned that character no but it still is they're like it's it's a mascot of the playstation and and also like it's spyro too they never owned spyro either yeah they just they just kind of like said we have a bunch of mascots but there were just the characters that were on the cabin to be on the console at the time they own fucking um uh they didn't own they didn't inspire or they didn't own crash they did own spike from ape escape which that game fucking kicks ass but nobody

about um what about jack and daxter or ratchet and clank they're cool and they own them how many of them do they need like none of them are going to be mario that's why too they had knack cradle they own kratos don't they yeah they don't cry yeah that's you put you put your your fucking beanie baby kratos on your kid's backpack sly cooper oh my god croc wow yeah those there was a bunch there was a bunch remember that at all well um yeah i i think uh crash bandicoot for as a as a fun look to it remember vex

i do remember vex and vex i remember that was the tipping point for me where i'm like oh man that looks like oh we've gone too far with this mascot shit it's way too far we need to go back wasn't there a quote that was like i remember is the lowest form of conversation i think that was people or something like that family guy uh that's a tony soprano low form of conversation yeah yeah yeah tony soprano that's it

remember when is the lowest form of conversation yeah i remember hey hey remember when yeah remember what i went to the store got a gobble yeah the only thing i fucking know about the sopranos yo tony killed it tony killed it remember when tony said remember when is the lowest form of conversation i remember that wasn't that great wasn't that great tony i remember oh fuck the trap what the fuck is gavagool capico that's some fucking lunch meat yeah capico why the fucking call it gavagool because they're trying to say it with a thicker italian accent but they don't actually speak italian

because they're from they're from jersey so they don't actually know anything about real italian oh it's good i like that but they do the accent because it feels more authentic that's fucking stupid you got your gavagool yep is Sicilian pronunciation sure enough but i don't know how to speak italian either it doesn't change the fact that the point is made that upon visiting italy no one from the fucking from america there understands what the fuck is going on and they have no relation to the culture at all because it's completely different

that's the point same thing for a mozadel what what is the words you just said mozadel that's oh my fucking god get a little bit of mozadel oh christ oh what's the matter you know you don't like a little bit uh you don't like you got a problem with the mozadel i got a problem a big problem that's great fuck it's it's it's basically just spaghetti yeah it's the it is 100 encapsulating the energy of spaghetti you know can't believe it man i have i let me ask you this is total non sequitur but what's what's the level

of language absorption that you and uh punch mom have going on um i'd say pretty moderate i think like actions and sound effects are more absorbed than like actual words like i noticed when um a couple times when punch mom comes over to talk to me she has started doing my thing which is just like as you're talking just kind of idly punching like the wall or the post just doing little practice combos little thing i i've noticed she started doing that um i've noticed a couple of other little random things that are just you know actions more than than actual words because i have like i have hard stolen the phrase jesus lord from page recently and like can't get it to go away i'm doing it constantly

it's driving me crazy it's like an earworm from somebody who i cannot escape i will continue to hear this phrase and thus subconsciously steal it it became very obvious because i played some left for dead me and page played some left for dead with shy and dk slap and razz and uh just the shy puts up like a video like a super cut of it and it's just like oh man i'm i'm saying that a bunch huh wow fuck damn i should quit that shit oh well too late can't stop them yes i do mean left for dead not dead by daylight have you ever heard someone refer to spaghetti as skinny i have but only in irony where the fuck does that come from uh you gotta say it faster

it's not fast enough to say spaghetti it's the first time this week for the first time in my life i encountered the skinny in the form of a biker meme oh yeah it's a but a biker holding up his his fork and his and it's got the this is how the biker eats the skinny i think my favorite variation of spaghetti pronunciation is wets in terms of the phrase could you please dust my wets right to a waiter with the parmesan yep that was uh that's a couple years old coming back i remember i remember when you when you first told me about that but to date you are the only person to have ever brought this up i've never encountered it in the wild so well you haven't gotten your wets dusted now i'm now i got an ear out for the skinny yeah i don't know where the

fuck i'm gonna i've heard i've heard someone say people are saying the south skinny um and that people down south say skinny sad skinny hmm and that was because she was eating spaghetti on stream while crying i think i don't remember why but she was crying into the spaghetti hey what do um people that are not french call um melting cheese over something fondue i guess that's not a fondue no melting cheese and is it as a dip i don't know i like i see americans call them like cheesy blank i need my cheese oh my wife cheesy cheese fries shredded cheese for her fajitas so fondue will just fondue will just mean melting the cheese over it i guess i don't know okay because here it's gratiné yeah if you get anything gratiné that's that's what it means

and like i feel like that was one of those things right it never occurred to me until i like there's moments where you're like oh fuck wait hold on this is not an international this is not even a this is not even a north american this is a this is a this is a queep thing yeah it's one of them queep things just queep things somehow that never popped you know popped off on instagram no fondue that's that's fondue feels like a misnomer feels like like a fondue is meant to be like a bowl of melted cheese that you then you dip in and eat or uh or if you want to or if you go with the um uh uh uh god what's it called in texas uh queso or queso right where you have like a bowl of the fucking the melted

cheese dip with the flavors and stuff going on in it but if you get like um a random item of food and then you go like oh like i want to get it with like a a cheese melt over the top of it like yeah gratiné is uh how we do that you're making me really want some cheese is what i'm saying here to you right now you ever get cheese and just eat like a like a block of cheese like it's an apple uh yeah i did that with a thing of brie and i regret nothing mm-hmm i i i used to i mean i usually cut slices and stuff and i remember um punch mom would just just go right in there and i was like wow okay but uh yeah i've done it that's good yeah like get a brick and just bite into it like an apple usually cut a cut a desiccized that's the carrots

okay well you know once when page was out of town i ate ate a whole breed like it was an apple was great we also get the long block though slices like an adult but you can't just eat the long block the long block is too much cheese that's crazy again you gotta cheese you know get a baby bell baby bells are good for that i don't know what that is baby bell is uh the red wrapping with the wax that you peel off okay i guess with the with the red cow on it that looks really weirdly human i remember once like four or five years ago i asked max a million if i ate like 64 slices of american cheese on stream what he would do and he said and he told me that he would rep that stream as hard as he possibly could because he would love to see me eat just

64 slices of american cheese i have not thought about that day until now 64 slices doesn't seem like that much but i why why why american cheese well because that's you know where it goes in the slices but that's like such a bad flavor yeah well that's the bit american cheese is fucking shit it's garbage why would you go with that because that's the the bit it's from the simpsons okay so mr burn sneaks into the fucking kitchen in the middle of the night steal the the bear back sorry to steal the his childhood bear from the house not to steal the bear okay i remember that episode i i remember that episode

i don't remember the joke that homer walks into the kitchen and eats 64 slices of american cheese and uh then they fall off the ceiling in the morning do you think americans are proud that their name is on the worst flavor i fucking hope not i fucking hope not because canadian bacon is pretty good it's all right it's not bacon it's a it's a ham side yeah it's pee don't know why it's called bacon at all really it's pee meal nope they hate it good to know good to know good at least at least at least at least it's not it's not like this at least it's not like fuck you it's patriotic we love it's the best she's ever shut up then eat it while you cry or while you cry we have a more sophisticated audience

you know is that the word yeah that's that's the case a very sophisticated audience eat it while chanting USA USA and just stuff it in your mouth and fucking try not to barf just yeah it's the it's the patriot cheese just get one of those like like the the uh cheesehead uh fucking things from from wisconsin and just a big old fucking american honkering helmet thing i don't get my american cheese doesn't look like the american flag what's up with that i thought for sure would look like the american flag eat that shit and think about freedom freedom to eat the shittiest cheese we got exactly

hey so um the latest sam show dlc character was announced and it's the fucking warden it's from for honor i'd love to give a shout out to uh buttons oh hula hand slash yori titty nightmare for totally calling it the instant that silhouette got shown off what a wild pick that totally makes sense now that he's in the arrow the arrows works out ish maybe not precisely good enough good enough ish yeah um and i get it you know some folks are like boring sword men we're all boring sword men i know i i i hear you with the boring sword men but for honor getting some love in a japanese fighting game is cool enough for me i think that's interesting the um you know they they they it's a pretty limited move set though i will say

i will say but um yeah i never would have expected for honor cross sam show bushida bushido wild wild cross chivalry so that's cool that's fine can we get a night of agatha from chivalry can we get darly dagger in for honor no as a skin whatever be fucking how maru yeah of course it but he's already in central calabar he's already in soul caliber so you know i was just hoping for something else genjiro honestly if for honor implemented like guest character skins you could do some fucking amazing wild shit because tons of people have swords oh yeah it would have been really really

cool if they started working with other people and getting guest characters in in the form of like yeah just drop this recognizable character on with this cool sword and do the thing you know um but anyway uh the warden in in in sam show pretty much is yeah it's it's got the moveset it's got the shoulder bash got the um a voice that's all like talking about justice and it's almost like shovel night getting a yeah uh uh it's almost like a shovel night getting a voice in um blade strangers where it's just like this big burly honorable you know dude and the super is the the catapult it's called on down on you so it makes sense i'll believe that yeah you got the swing combo that goes into the spin to the faint and then from the faint you can go into a grab

and he's got another head he's got the shoulder bash exactly so you know some of the iconic moves are in there unexpected fun pick unexpected fun pick but i would like to see it go the other way around but of course um yes yeah no uh uh for honor has some pretty gruesome executions in it so the the company would have to be okay with their characters getting wrecked rocked and horribly made yeah uh also there's just the dissonance that would come with like a big old like medieval battle with soldiers running and then like riding running behind them with lightning coming off of his blade you know like it's like okay there's a little bit of a

weird thing there too that you can't really get around so anyway fun pick on that um i i don't remember the announcement for this but maybe this came up earlier but yeah bloodstained curse of the moon too yeah weird huh dropping on the 10th of july like huh like what new characters joining so it's gonna have the original uh the original four plus another new three i think since now that actual bloodstained is out proper you're gonna it looks like they're adding a bunch more so like fuck yeah it's that's that's great man like i did not beat bloodstained i played it no i bet but i didn't i didn't finish it but i did uh beat i did beat

curse of the moon and i fucking loved it so i don't think i'd be either but i came way closer to finishing curse of the moon than i did bloodstained i think yeah it's probably like curse of the moon because curse of the moon is fucking excellent it's it's pretty short it's like maybe three hours of your time honestly but uh it was it was a lot of fun so um yeah okay so wait hold on let me get this straight with the characters because everyone's saying stuff um in addition to previously announced heroes dominic zangetsu uh robert and good boy hatchy which is a corgi and a mech okay bloodstained ritual of the night alumni miriam alfred and gebel will also be featured as playable characters okay so six total no wait seven total seven total

yeah i've been i've been bopping that battle theme on my uh my stream playlist for a while now the boss theme so that's that's that's fucking yeah like anti-creates good job they also announced at the same time that they're doing azer strike gun vault three um okay it's you know uh not for me but well maybe i just kind of dropped off after the first one heard good things about the second but never never got around to it but there's a new one there's a new one so anti-creates seems to be doing doing big things something about the photo of inefune going this is azer gun vault three and he just looks like a like a tired tired man kind of cracks me up

i hate to keep saying the same thing but i would love to see gun vaults in games besides gun vault i think you have said that every single time gun vault has come out in any because he's so cool looking it's it's a really fun alt mega man design you know um i didn't i didn't feel that way about like just just on terms just in terms of aesthetic right just in terms of design i didn't i like like beck and call were cute but whatever you know eh like though the bubbly arm stuff was a little was kind of weird the visor wasn't a big you know what i mean like it was kind of whatever um but gun vault i'm like that's a pretty stylish looking you know not mega man character that

reminds me of the way um uh god in in in zx advent uh ale and oh my memories of this are weak uh ale and uh two hours yeah it reminds me of them right where you're seeing like mega man zero characters out vent thank you um outside of the armor you know like like i feel i feel like a gun vault is a mega man character outside of the armor and i like that i like that aesthetic i think it's really cool ash gray vent yeah ale yeah that's it thank you um fucking cool so so i will always have that little like man i like i like the design for gun vault a lot not to mention some great merch really stylish shirts like imagine imagine all the shirts for hyper light drifter but imagine if hyper light drifter was bad imagine if it wasn't a don't you

even imagine if it wasn't fun even you fucking asshole wouldn't that suck it would be like ass but look how clean this stuff is you know so yeah i fucking love hyper light drifter i feel like nobody cares enough about that game that game is so great mm-hmm came out and people didn't play it because it was too hard because they're weak you see that uh a little preview of the cuphead cartoon i did it looks great looks fucking doesn't it looks super good can't fucking come out soon enough

um the voice acting on point just everything everything looking the way it should uh someone pointed out that uh and like and now i can't unsee it someone pointed out that like because it's not drawn on paper it's digital whereas the game was drawn on paper there's something there's a quality to the clean the cleanliness of the animation that is resembling is resembling newgrounds flash animation yeah we always hit that it's right everything's too clean it looks vector or looks flash and i'm like oh my god i fucking my brain can't unsee it i can't unsee it now but it is true it is there a little bit you know um but man i cannot wait for this yeah cuphead looks wonderful i love cuphead i love mug man more but i also love cuphead

it's also great that we're still talking about cuphead i know right cupheads in smash cupheads on netflix cupheads doing it relevant but yeah it is all about mug man you're not wrong i don't know why either like he's the name is just so much more appealing to me it's because mug man fucks that's yeah you know what you're probably right it's probably because mug man fucks we're gonna talk about uh this pokemon mober or what all right i think so i don't know if you saw my tweet but it was get out of the way last of us too there's something new to make fun of now because holy shit is is this shit cracking me up this pokemon unite shit well here's one thing if

pokemon made the jump from a card game from a from a from a an rpg to a card game uh from a card game to eventually a fighting game from a fighting game to a uh uh like a r game like at some point it would be nonsense for them to not expand into other genres right but the fact that poke end came sooner than a pokemon moba is kind of crazy you would think they would start applying it left and right to every possible genre so this is in some ways almost overdue yeah sure but i don't know what the fuck's happening when i get the trailer as the person of the gang that has more experience with the movers in this in this gang that we're we're talking now um

fuck yeah like okay straight up number one collect like starting off this game's existence is confusing because it's a 10 cent game and 10 cent owns riot so they have the league they have the league of legends so they have the the the one of the biggest boys probably the big boy in the mober space cornered already but you're saying they're competing with themselves um it looks like this is gonna try and drip feed the kids that like pokemon into league yeah um i i i was gonna say that like i don't find it that weird but because when you go into the pokemon version of a thing that is already existing you're clearly just trying to get pokemon

fandom to get into that thing yeah so you know again they've they've done it with other game types it's uh i look at i look at this thing and did you watch the whole like showcase or whatever the fuck you want just the trailer just the trailer you should you should go watch that showcase it's like seven minutes long um it has that thing that games don't want to make me laugh super hard which is you know they do the the like the 10 switches and the different footages that they have and uh some of them look okay i guess but i guess they don't have enough good looking footage because most of them are running at like 10 frames a second and it's just hilarious oh just the game itself is not running well the game itself is running in like at like 10 fps

and they they keep cutting to these short snippets of gameplay in which the game is like running like shit and then they they show off my favorite part is they're they're showing off like as you play through the game your your your charmander can turn into a chameleon and even a charizard and then they show off like and once you're fully leveled up you'll um you'll uh have access to powerful unite moves right you're like oh that's cool and the unite move that they show with um uh charman sorry uh charizard is uh he he runs up to a blastoise and uh the charmander sorry the that the charizard model just like snaps to the blastoise and both characters just shoot straight up in the air 10 feet and slam down with no animation at all seismic toss yeah seismic

and it literally looks just as shitty as pokemon sword animations do and like i burst out laughing like like the game looks terrible and they have a remix of the moba formula where it's all about gaining like locations of points but if you if you cross your eyes a little bit from a distance like all the ui stuff is exactly the same as league of legends and it pokemon will never have good animation like how do they just won't do it um you know that you'll you pokemon has lots of knockoff games right there's i mean temtem's a knockoff and then you have the that's sure i'm monster rip off pokemon games right monster monster collectors yeah yeah yeah right yeah no but i mean like just like copyright infringing stolen shit right

pokemon unite looks like a third rate knockoff of a game that that company already makes and i also checked on mobile tencent also owns and develops the biggest mobile league of legends clone on on phones and that game looks way better than pokemon unite does and uh they showed off the pokemon like there's there's 10 pokemon i guess and it's like it it looks like an official third rate knockoff that's unfortunate that's unfortunate and the reaction to it so uh page stayed up she happened to be awake when this and she was chatting with buckin ross uh from uh from gg and um they watched the dislike bar grow and grow and grow and grow and grow until it disappeared live off the screen as oh what happened no he was on stream oh you he

was telling you that story later no i just watched it oh you watched it on stream yeah he was streaming and i watched it okay my mistake i misunderstood that story what regardless the point is the fucking dislike bar just disappeared into oblivion okay um yeah apparently coliseum had good animations yeah great animation it's not made by game freak stadium back in the day i did have stadium there is that and yeah of course well poke ends a fighting game so there's that too as well yeah no fair point um that's a that's a wrong statement but i i just i feel like i'm like i'm not seeing shit that i would have hoped which is like at again it's the it's the same discussion every time but it's just cool shit in the pokemon game

it's like this late this many years later like when you saw um the was it origins i think it was was the anime where like it's really just a like short ova smote like a series of like um red and his and his pokemon sort of like challenging and going through the first it was amazing right pokemon was great and and you're like you can put the money in to make these attacks look really good and make these fights look really good because like that's what the game is is just these monsters like you have two things you have walking around the world and hitting the a button on things and then you have the combat and the combat needs to be interchangeable with all these monsters but you can make the moves interact in such a way that it looks visually hype and

pleasing like i don't know man like it just you can do a lot of things you know who want to you know who did a lot of things who did many things digimon when you go look at the digimon game the amounts of shit all digimon's doing fucking cool things and pokemon could do the cool yeah absolutely spoiler alert i'm gonna play them sometime yeah they're good yeah the translation is apparently like a mess but aside from that they're great and you just go why can't you put the fucking you know just put some love into it man i don't want to everything i see about cybersluth is like look at the fucking work it's some cool shit going on over there but i don't i don't want

to and you look back at your own plate and you're like well i don't want this plate look at that plate that plate's cooler it's more appetizing there's more shit on that plate anyway the the merch team gets all the money it's it's not just it's not just when you kind of look and go like man being a fan of this thing is unfortunately not as rewarding you know uh uh uh because shit gets like lazily done lazy lazy jobs are done constantly when it comes to this ip but it's but it's when something else comes along and does a better job of it and you go you guys have infinitely more money than they do yeah everything that's not pokemon or all what is happening pokemon branches into all do it better

than pokemon and they have less money way way less not a smaller smaller team less time less resources love love put some fucking love into it man no i don't want to all right well like that's literally like what do you want me to say other than no i don't like that's it i don't wanna or just like lean into it like like sega did and just give it to the fans you know like if you're not gonna do it just give it to the fans no i don't want to hey i got a question i'm confused yeah go ahead my understanding of mobers is that they always seem to be the kind of games that really need a mouse yeah so this game is going to be mobile and switch yeah which precludes a mouse

so what the fuck it's fair you'll directly control your character like you'll control them with an analog stick or just move the stick around i guess yeah and then you'll uh so it's fine i guess it's fair well it'll be designed without a mouse it'll be it'll definitely yeah it'll it'll it'll definitely will have to be right but like touch controls you can replace a mouse with because you'll you'll hit buttons on the screen to do things um yeah i don't know it just seemed like there's always a lot of things to click on i luckily this this is a this is a moba for children so it'll be much simplified that's um i talked briefly about this and i said that nintendo stock would raise a million percent if they allowed unrestricted voice chat in this

thing to just hit you with the omega nightmare that is an eevee main that's like eight years old screaming at you at the top of their lungs and calling you every name in the book man pokemon moba so toxic like five to ten years late to the party and it immediately looks not good oh it looks it looks like it looks i can't like it looks bad enough that i'm like what a what a you know that kind of weird weird path they've chosen so confusing don't show this this looks bad i think it's gonna be pretty funny to he's sat watch people streaming it and yell out that blast always is fed as fuck because that's hilarious you know but you know i'm i'm i bet you someone right now is working on the secret pokemon fan game that is like

embarrassing oh the pokemon company oh yeah you know what i mean like that game that comes out that just makes you fucking go oh oh fuck everything official look at this thing right here i bet you someone is working on it you know and you just you see the trailer of it and you just go like oh my god what are we doing why are we not doing this thing you know um i know i know i got a lot of shit for it but that feeling i got when i saw robo blast 2 and i just went like oh my god that looks incredible like within seconds i'm like this is beautiful fuck everything um that reaction you know someone's doing something because it's it's too too many people love pokemon for there to not be someone that's just like i'll fucking do it myself i'll just do it myself you

know has there been like a single good like unequivocally good piece of pokemon news and like three four years the movie was fun it was all right it was fun it's true yeah the movie was fun new pokemon snap that's right new pokemon snap new pokemon snap wonderful the the way that the way that um pokemon snap was just like yeah whatever also there's a new pokemon snap while the pokemon unite thing is like the big push is like hilarious it's fucking it's fucking goofballs yeah you know when poke pokemon snap 2 should have happened a year later like what the fuck you do it yeah it should happen in what like 99 it's on rails and you click the photo button just go just get the money i think just get it probably the wildest game that never came out ever was a pokemon snap game

for the we you right oh you mean the game where the device you're holding is literally made to emulate a camera yes that one yeah okay cool yes that that device nah fuck it let's let's put out uh let's put out star fox zero instead oh we got a bunch of yeah i see it i see it i see it why these robots attacking why would they do that why would they do that to us well then um it really is suffering to be a pokemon fan i can i can i can i can see that it really it really grinds like this i really i really do feel like pokemon i feel bad for you guys i i do i do

anyway um last two little things here real quick one do you recall um a old point and click adventure game called beneath a steel sky i do there is now a trailer for the sequel really beyond a steel sky oh that's a that's a that's a good name for that it is fucking what how many years 25 20 like more than that um i've never played beneath a steel steel sky but uh it looks like one of those good ones from that era where you're like yeah yeah these are these are fun this is this is that laura bow lucas lucas arts indy era day of the tentacle all that good stuff it uh harkens back to that 1994 virgin interactive ms dos so yeah apparently all this noise about

that game from nowhere uh there is a sequel coming out launching to apple arcade really mm-hmm which would which you may recall um and oh wait apple arcade and steam okay okay all right okay there we go there we go okay yeah uh but you can play on your app or apple arcade games with a with a controller don't forget that you can just you can hook up a uh a wireless controller like you know yeah so i actually uh i bought i had some phone games with my new phone and i got one of these that was that the way you're doing it uh and i put my

phone in there for a second and uh played it for about five seconds and went this is shit this is terrible why not just mirror it to your to your computer i don't know what that is you can get phone you can get a weighted so you can get share screen so that your phone goes to your computer all right apparently it's it's how i play tap in apparently you can just use blue stacks to uh play teppen sure but um i mean i want my account with me as like when i travel to your account isn't that tied to the device though no it's tied to the email oh oh well that's a teppen doesn't work with blue stacks great uh even though it seemed like it worked for me whatever um wait why would i play fgo i didn't play fgo what the fuck what's fgo

is that fate get this fate sheet out of my face what game did you play and why did suck i tried to play teppen with the controller it's like no no no no master keyboard no no no i'm talking about i'm i mean i mean with that little doohickey oh because pat pat held up a control it's a controller what you just held up is because it's a controller uh mounted mounted like phone mount so it looks like you basically locked your phone in to a device that then snaps onto your dual shock i think was castlevania or uh yeah was castlevania please describe for the mp3 the the the purchase it's a it's a plastic piece of shit that you bolt on your controller that uh that uh holds your phone

okay well anyway um there is a sequel to an old point and click and what the hell that's pretty cool that is cool but again i didn't play it so i can't really can't really say i know anything about it or what's going on but it's a cyberpunky looking setting and that's pretty interesting i also never played it and i probably should have great name though yeah oh is that why fate gio is is fate fgo is it fate go away is that how that works fate stay away from me don't at me it's fate stay away grand order fate stay out of my dms please

fate stay out of my dms i love that that's good are you people really actually correcting us are you do you really think we did oh my god it's all guy go no man it's actually fate grand order those are memes all right lastly i thought i thought the name of the game was fate stay out of my dms i thought i that's what i thought it was thank you lastly uh there appears to be a new harry potter triple a game in the works oh oh yeah i saw him and uh what are the bullet points we have here it's developed oh sorry after you after you it's developed by avalanche software

the people that made dragon ball sagas that'll beat them up if you remember way back in the day also they made uh is it the same avalanche that made the just cause series software is it let's take a quick look you look people are saying no i don't think it is no because yeah because when we were i was testing for them but they were not avalanche software uh yeah these are the disney infinity guys so um that's being developed scheduled for late next year open world hogwarts and surrounding areas cool to be revealed after dc fandom

has very little direct involvement with jk rowling very little it's like i can tell you about what they do when they go but did you know that they go get get out go go please leave jk did you know that they go jk secretly they'll get go go this this news is extra funny because uh right before the podcast started i was cracking up because i saw the interaction between jk rowling and one stephen king scary spooky man big writer

man where she starts to lavish praise upon stephen king and how he's the he's a great writer and she's always loved him and he just hits her with yeah a trans woman or women jk and then she just deletes the tweet like it never happened and it's like you are such a stupid stupid idiot you have to wait it's like the speed run on wrecking your legacy it's the funniest shit in the world the wizard scat wasn't wasn't the move yeah somehow so you know jk row your boat into the horizon wait and away from everybody oh my god it so people are confirming that i'm stupid what happened he didn't even say that to

her he said it to someone else and then she went back and deleted her tweet oh isn't she wasn't she wasn't like tagged in it eyes that he's like a cool guy and was like i can't have this what an asshole oh man that's pretty strong that's wild that's pretty strong very little involvement says the studio oh triple a game this must have been in the works for at least a couple years at least planned from well before and one has to imagine one has to imagine as you're working

on a game like this every day in the office when something goes down and you're just like oh you're working on the franchise and you're just like this has to come out and people will hopefully enjoy it someday but every fucking month there's just a the could you imagine oh man dude the skull girl's patch is going to be so good so i don't even know what happened we went live and it and then that started popping and i don't know what's going on what actually happened uh the the gist of it is that um the gist of it is that uh mike z and bunny iu were talking and mike z was being a creep and then uh some other

former lab zero staff came out and was like mike z makes me feel uncomfortable a lot with racism oh really yeah what was said that is that is my current understanding of this situation okay by any chance apparently it's like trending now is there any uh information on like what happened what do you mean what happened all the dms are posted are they okay i haven't read them but like they're up there and then other people are coming out and saying mike z's a jerk okay because uh yeah no like i um just literally as we fucking started

i was like what what's that about now well fuck dude like hot on the trail of uh what two weeks ago that's stupid we're not gonna read the dms out loud this isn't a like what go fuck yourself like jesus you want to read them go to bunny's twitter what did someone say that we're not yet we're not doing that on this show that's ridiculous that's that's silly no um but yeah that's that sounds really shit hot off of uh like a fucking combo into a controversy mm-hmm yeah oh man dude scurl girls it's time to shine oh man so i take no joy in the fact that a really good video game has to take a fucking beating because of that

yeah well that fucking sucks man that's super that's a super bummer don't worry there's more stuff to be ruined for us in the future and you know you can run the bit all you want on that but like that's just a fucking super shitty thing man it's a good ass game that doesn't have a staff that deserves to fucking get dragged because of this shitty association right now god that sucks man wow yeah no that's a proper fucking bum out so i'm upset about that the saddest thing is that i'm under the so i'm my standards might not my standards my expectations are low uh i would assume that on the staff of every project there's a couple people that are just complete human garbage um as somebody just correctly pointed out randy pitchford continues to exist

um it's just depending on the company and or the project or and or the group whatever uh they talk to media or they're the head of the whatever it's a dice roll yeah but like this is not this is it's not just that it's i mean this is a game that like has been his project and like his thing for a while ever since i was back in the the traveling fgc days of fucking 20 11 20 you know whatever it was when i went to uh uh east coast throwdown and there was a uh look it's a play an early playable copy of the thing and you know what i mean like we were seeing what it was from way back when and it continues to be this game that i care

about especially as like a game that is like it's got so many cool things for what fighting games are and and and it's emblem it has a lot of important emblematic things so um whatever it like you obviously get it you you know what i mean like uh it just yeah i whatever i don't know like it it's it it it fucking sucks that sucks man it's it's a really cool game that that was definitely about to have a moment and still you know uh uh uh possibly might i don't know why again i i'm this is all live i have not read any of the details or what's happening here but assuming this is as bad as it sounds and everything is as shit as it appears to be um after all this fucking time a game that got overshadowed for stupid reasons from a lot of people that just

looked at it and went meh you know that was really good and then eventually in some cases like even with you you saw it eventually down the line and went oh fuck this is really cool right and and and like having its ability to to to get out there is with evo online about to happen like next fucking week like god damn it man i have no coherent thought on that i'm just upset i mean what's a lot more important than that is that in the span of the podcast i just got my seven gauntlet wins in munterra that seven wins in a row good for me it loses or bullshit god and then also like just obviously central focal point here being like people that have been sitting on this that had to fucking directly deal with it for so the details that i

gave you are all that i currently know before you jump to the world is ending and skull girls is dead let's go that's and finish the podcast and yeah well i don't because i'm saying i don't know dude it's it's just it's you brought it up and i'm looking at this and i'm seeing it and it appears to be a bummer and that's all i got well anyway i can't just keep scrolling right now i'm gonna no no we got to get back to the podcast do we have any emails this week yeah if you want to send a letter send it to castle super beast mail at gmail dot com i'm just pulling them up give me a second please that's castle super beast mail at gmail dot com

uh we got one coming in here from damien says there woolly pat and you nice folk listening hello people adhere this i hate most games that have subtitles in the option under the audio when it's a visual thing but i would hate it all the more if game suddenly changed it to a visual option as i instinctively check audio when starting a new game uh what are some things that would be better have changed but you still resent the idea the game of where is the subtitle option continues to exist this is something that i feel like it's it's like the beginning of every lp it's always a fun thing to be like where's the subtitle gonna be because people put it in different places um but as far as the question goes what would what should change but you think

you'd possibly resent it uh i hate when games have different levels of controller layout customization i hate when some games let you put any button anywhere and other games are like you have five presets use one of these um that shits trash and needs to go away i know that game defaults back on the xbox and i think playstation eventually added them as well is something that lets you change what the buttons do on a system level i would like to see every game have that um perhaps by putting controller configuration on a system level we can make sure that they always have the maximum level of freedom and customization but it is kind of a mess if it doesn't um set it from game to game and if it actually maintains it overall on the system then that would be really

annoying so it's one of those things that is like it would be a necessity um and it would be better if every game was subject to the system level controller config but ultimately i really wish every game just didn't have like shitty configs options and i wish every game had a robust setting for that i know it's not technically like a correct type of answer but one of the things that have you you haven't touched the last of us two yet have you no one of the things that that game does extraordinarily well is you fucking load up the game and the very first fucking thing it asks you is a pre-main menu menu is dude what stereo setup do you have what type of subtitling do you want how big do you want the subtitles do you want a color background on those subtitles

uh and all all those little nitty gritty options that you would go ah fuck if you press start before actually doing them you do you do them beforehand and it's appreciated like it's great and then i think of you never played re6 did you only the like demo for a second i think you ever go into the brightness uh section in re6 no but it does ask you when you first boot it up to so the the brightness setting in re6 has like it's like a blinding white light on a shadow of a six on the ground and it says like lower the brightness until you can barely see the six and i have yet to find a single person to understand what the fuck they actually want with that shit there is no setting that actually makes sense at

all and it just ruins how fuck how your game looks no matter what you put it at it's fucking crazy i forgot what video i was watching but there was a video that like somewhere there was a thing i where someone said like um showing the controller load out the controller layout on the loading screen sucks and um i remember just thinking like yeah but i when i boot a game up i'm gonna go look at that anyway every time because sometimes the game will do a walk you through and to explain it but sometimes it won't you know some games do a okay tutorial before you start and they get they explain it to you but some games just go like no just play it and then you have to pause and take a look at what the buttons are doing and especially

as you know we continue to like play games and fucking start out cold on something i'm playing a lot of games cold and don't know what's going on so um i i feel like uh that loading screen controller thing is is kind of necessary these oh my god i just thought of one and again not again in the in the spirit of the question but uh me and page played it by dayla a lot that game's great and if i'm gone a bit early page will occasionally play it um on the on the pc instead of our laptop uh despite almost everything in that game being saved to your account right the keybinds aren't the keybinds are saved to a local file well that's stupid it's fucking stupid as shit so like half the time i come downstairs and like all right time for dead by daylight and i hit

a button and it's the wrong button because page changed her keybinds and then she'll go to hop on my thing and she'll log into her account and go to use my controls and it's the wrong button and it's like why the fuck aren't these saved to the account everything all your layouts all your options everything but the keybinds are saved to the account that sounds like a a compliance testing dream but unfortunately pc games are not subject to those standards yeah i guess so uh david says dare woolly paddle bad us another game on the list where achievements make things bad in king of fighters 12 which had an abysmal online there's achievements for rising letter grade from e to s usually the kind of ranks would be tied to win versus losses but not here no instead

it has to do with how many matches you play regardless of victory so what you end up with is a bunch of matches where people are using turbo controllers to continuously mash light kick so they can confirm matches for long periods of time but do nothing except mash light kick during the matches thanks for reading stay safe so the problem obviously really funny that's insanely stupid but the problem there is that if you tied it to having like an s-ranked like performance that would mean that people who are not good at the fighting game will never be able to get all of those achievements and that is a pretty bad thing to put into your game as far as achievements go achievements generally should not be restricted behind stuff like that uh so

yeah don't do it that way and then ultimately i think i said it last week don't tire achievements to multiplayer just don't do unless you have no choice unless there's nothing but multiplayer in your game don't do that um there's so many nice little things that annoy us podcast question buick says there are epic gamer moment boys because i'm a fucking moron i still play a decent amount of games that are best on my x-bone online like gta 5 or titanfall 2 recently my gold expired which got me thinking with the increasing amount of first party titles ending up on pc should services provide online play like xbox live gold or playstation plus should those be required paid subscriptions anymore if nothing else would at least keep

people from being drawn to the pc gaming crew i think uh from buick now yeah they should fucking give that shit to you for free and they're never gonna okay but here's the thing about that like you let's like okay that cost being put on on the hardware manufacturer is one that like would create a much better environment game wise for everybody i'm thinking that um what would suck is if we ended up in a world where um like you had to subscribe monthly online to uh to multiple games individually i don't want that to ever end up being the result and i think the benefit of consoles having that like unified online service is that you don't have to have a bunch of individual subscriptions you know um so if you can avoid that outcome then yes that'd be great but just

keep in mind wherever a cost gets absorbed on a console that might be selling at a loss somewhere else has to pay the price for it yeah the bottom line ideally ideally but i mean come on let's let's be real that's not gonna happen depending on where that tradeoff is i'm personally willing to pay for uh an online thing for the for the the uh an online continuing network thing for all my all games so that there's never any persistent costs with individual games per se because if if we ever had to do that where it's like each game that had online was a separate thing that you had to fucking get into on a on a on a on a subscription basis that would just absolutely kill it for me personally i'm in this place where it's like i'm not i'm one of the reasons

i never got an xbox ever like besides any other reasons it's like the idea of playing paying for PlayStation plus and the xbox live subscription is like ridiculous to me like how many of these am i gonna fucking use 99 percent of the time i play on pc yeah i i i have gold but like i i only used it for killer instinct for years so like it was pretty rough to just be like okay well this is my ki subscription essentially um woolly you sucked me back into power rangers and you ruined my life but not that bad though uh not that bad huh dare space wizard woolly and alpha five pat recently on an episode of getting to fighting games talked about power ranger themes and it sent me down a rabbit hole of

listening to all the power ranger themes again it's not the first time it happened um the one time uh on friendcast you used the in space theme as the outro and this sent me down a rabbit hole several miles deep where i rewatched almost the entire series from my childhood as well as the new ones i hadn't seen before uh and i had even learned what super sent i was and started getting into that over the next few years i would lose myself occasionally down the morphing great rabbit hole and just started all over again fast forward to now and i have 15 plus figures on my desk and a few more in the mail and i'm now known as that power rangers guy oh no dude listen if that's all it took i'm so sorry if that's all it took that was gonna happen to you anyway

you're right i had very precious little to do with that happening to you if all you if you if hearing a song sends you down that road your feet were moving in that direction anyway my friend um has there ever been a similar situation that happened to you maybe not like that but i've definitely like gone into like wiki holes after hearing a cool tidbit and then wanting to like find out more um especially for your like yeah old shows like i remember like one time like someone brought up like gargoyles and i was like fuck me i'm gonna go read about gargoyles for a long time and i that was cool gundam a lot of that go to mahq.net and just uh just look at gundam designs see the see the hajime kato key versions what is that what

does that website ma ma hq ma hq so that that always brings up a thought in my mind which was like the ongoing fight between wikipedia editors and gundam fans yeah yeah yeah exactly that was a gundam was one of the worst ones on wikipedia because there were just infinite amounts of branching pages and each unit could technically get its own page and it's like guys there's more gundam shit on here than there is world war two stuff like fucking stuff like it's so stupid and and gundam gundam fans are definitely interested in seeing all of that categorized accurately and detailed because every single suit every single armor has like multiple like versions it has art it has revisions and then it's got different parts and different appearances and

there's lots of details to track on each one um but yeah um ma hq is otherwise your other it's your gundam wikipedia that'll give you just like lots of uh details on whatever the fuck you need in that regard and i used to just dive down that hole for a while too did wiki not eventually purge all those gundam sites they did they fucking killed it they were like that's enough yeah that's enough out of you um lastly uh what's up willy versus and pat spoils at pretty simple question uh what well nothing pretty simple question what are some of your favorite names for mechs examples like wanzers from front mission or panzer soldats from the trail series personal favorite are the face mech

on from zeno blade chronicles sometimes refer to his faces something sinister about how simple and accurate this is for an antagonistic force um but to understand the full meeting behind the name requires some deep story knowledge uh thank you says justin from long island so this question has in fact been answered before but um i'm going to say i have a hard list of favorites and then i've got my honorable mentions as far as like mecha types go i think we've always talked to you sorry sorry sorry i had a thought and it was i was formulating do it but it was formulating out loud okay well obviously we talk about metal gears those are those are cool those are always out there

everyone is thinking about metal gear it's a big popular franchise that's dope um i i always enjoy the guy melef from escaflone that's a cool name for uh you know for a mecha and the armed slaves from uh full metal panic are awesome as well but uh for me this might change depending on when you ask it it probably was different the last time it came up on the podcast but for me i got three top three uh number one orbital frames orbital frame best name orbital frame i agree un unbeatable too clean to mega deus from big o so the big all giant robots in the big o are called mega deus and they're fucking awesome perfect um

and if i'm not mistaken what were the pilots called uh it was something with the word it was um give me give me a series here the big o oh big oh sorry it's like oh i don't know what the pilots i thought you were going on with different yeah uh mega deus dominus the pilots were called the called the mega deus dominus that's what it was and uh third gun buster buster machines buster machines just simple and fucking awesome i'm gonna definitely echo orbital frame 100 percent um and two of my favorite names for something aren't actually the mechs they're the pilot names which are in uh from mission three which has vanzers vanzers yep in its own right but the elite pilots that you run into are titled real and imaginary numbers

and there's like weird nerd math shit naming convention going on with it that i really appreciate uh an imaginary number is like a negative square or some shit that is a number that can't exist and that's to imply how ridiculously over the top these pilots are it's fucking great um and i recently found out uh have you you haven't played zeno blade right no so that somebody mentioned in this uh that there are a face mech on in that most 99 percent of the robots you encounter have no faces until you encounter a robot with a metal face and uh the characters imaginatively call him metal face uh which i recently discovered that uh the original japanese name for that villain is blackface which kind of kind of cracks me up because his face that black it's like

gunmetal gray did they do they really not know they just don't know they just don't know it keeps happening on tv so that means why would they know is a good protagonist because he fights blackface he can use the ability to see through time to stop blackface it's honestly i think it's a combination of the fact that they don't know and the fact that like um black is a descriptor you know it is it is exactly and uh you know when you are uh the guilty one in danganronpa you are not just like the perp you are the blackened yes oh man you know so i and it's just it's it's it's something where you know in this country like there was no real history to associate these words with people and uh black was associated with

like wrongdoing so now we've got this now we've got this you know but yeah you get these moments where they just translate it directly and you're literally called the blackened i i i man can i can i be a fly on the wall back in time in the tree house in the translation room just oh man we're changing that one jesus christ fuck i mean oh it's kuroi face ah same ah yeah there you go totally yeah no there must i mean and the older the games get the the fucking the worst you can imagine it possibly would have been because yeah yeah what are you gonna do you know they don't know what do you know all right anyway

um mega deus mega deus orbital frame fuster oh you know what i liked it's from gun to wing so it's lame but i like the uh dolls the doll units yeah mm-hmm dolls was a thing um sts standing tanks also a thing from sts was um the superscope game uh metal combat metal combat had had those had those um and uh fuck what was the acronym again hold on i want to get this right of vts for vertical tanks i think that was vts for vertical tanks yeah yeah yeah vertical one man tank for offense and maneuvers aka votoms oh man that's really out there that's a big old mouthful yeah so you know there's some good ones there's some bad ones but uh that's if you have a robot

in your game and it's a mecca don't call it a mecca yeah right well no one of the fun is like you know one of the funnest things about like a lot of games and anime is that there is a consistent like in world they don't refer to it as a mecca they refer to it as something else yeah whatever the originators it's not a mecca it's a mobile suit a golem a nightmare frame i don't know what the fuck nightmare frame is from but that's uh that's code gas silly so yeah yeah there you go uh okay well there you go that's it what i call my robot i'd call it the standing latrine mm-hmm because they strap you in and you never leave it

well it never mind yeah yeah will goodbye it'll relieve my stress just like john halo goodbye
