Music Rock Music Music Hello, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Welcome to a Primetime edition of the Castle Super Beast podcast. It's Primetime if you're listening to it live and if you're not listening to it live, it's always Primetime, it's always good time to listen to this podcast. The moment you hit the play button, it was Primetime, that's what it was.

So Pat, would you mind explaining to these lovely people that it's not my construction dues that were not paid. No, it's my construction this week. Because everyone assumes as soon as a reason is given out that it's automatically pertaining to me. Well, I mean to be fair you had like, you had like a, for sure, nine year. Yeah. Well, hey, there's construction all around when we live in this wonderful city.

But you know, sometimes when we explain what's going on, it's whatever, it's somewhere between the both of us. So it's your construction payments that have not been paid, if you can clarify. Actually I am in fact paying my construction people. This is construction as you could probably remember a while ago, I complained about leaking in my house. What the leaking in my house was there are rocks made out of my basements made out of rocks and sometimes water comes in through those rocks and I don't like it.

I don't like it when the water come in. So I finally got some guys in, however, they have to, they have to dig up the yard because they got to get underneath the house to put like the stickers on it or whatever with the stickers. I don't know what they're doing. So but this is the, this is the good mafia. Yeah. It's the, it's, it's passionate to fix this.

This is, this is the, I have a dream Bruno and the crew are out there doing, but I feel really bad for them because like, because of the way the street is, usually this is the kind of job that they bring in like a, like a drill, not a drill, like like, you know, those, those crane fucking construction things to dig up your yard because of the way the street is and the way parking lots and the way it is, they can't get it into the backyard, which means they're doing it with shovels on November fucking first, sorry, second. They're doing that. They're going to have to dig like eight, 10 feet down with shovels full on.

Wow. The, the hard way. Okay. And so it sucks ass for them, obviously, yeah, because they have to physically do it. It also sucks ass for me because it means that it'll take like twice as three times as long. Uh, so from like eight to six every day, there's going to be just dudes working hard outside my window.

Yeah. The trade off shit. The trade off is like, if you have battle construction vehicles happening outside of your house, then they're going to be running their sets and, and trying to, you know, get to top eight as quickly as possible. But at the very least, these giant loud vehicles will be done generally around two p.m. sometimes two, 33. They don't like to be out too long after lunch, uh, so they'll just park that shit in front

of a ditch somewhere and you'll see a tractor with one of its treads halfway in a hole and then they'll just get out in peace around one, two p.m. But if they're doing it by hand, then you're going to get that extra, there's nothing to be done. The full day's work. I can just, I can also just look at like, let's be real, the spot I'm sitting in right now is the spot I spend most of my life, uh, and that's fine. However, I could turn my head and just see them.

So if they're just fucking a boot, I can be like, Hey, quit fucking a boot. I do feel legitimately also bad for them because normally when you have a bunch of construction mans, right? It's the kind of situation where it's like, Hey guys, do you want some lemonade or you want to come in and use the bathroom? But with the times that we live in, no, you're probably not going to come in and use the bathroom. Hey, you can, you can, the solution that you've found, you can offer up a bowl of milk like

a kitty cat out the door and on the floor like Pootie Tang and just shut the door and uh, give them a little like, you know, a little and then see, I got bottles of water. I can give them. You can toss a bottle of water, you know, you can do that. But you don't have to let them in to do that. You can still be, you know, out the door nice, but uh, yeah, it's, it's been a week cause like this is the, like it's November, October, November, because this is kicking up and this is going to continue for a while.

Okay. Here's the thing though. Um, playful start of podcast banter initiate go, uh, construction worker in your yard cannot use the bathroom in your house. However, Jean Charles really has some bad diarrhea and if he can't get in, he can't make it entirely out of your yard in time before something bad happens. Well, that's fine. They're digging up the yard anyway.

They can just, they can just put dirt on it. He went to La Fleur's. So it's, it's, it's not, it's coming out bad. Just just just to just put it in the ground. Okay. All right. That's where poop goes. You don't mind.

Okay. All right. As long as they cover it in a couple of feet of dirt, let it be earth. I don't give a shit. So that's, that's the ongoing thing. And I got to say starting at eight a.m. means that the, the, the, the, the noise of hard working men early in the morning, woo. Men at work.

Luckily, Paige, who usually likes to sleep in if she can, doesn't have to deal with that. Unfortunately, Paige, that would be my wonderful, significant other slash peach saliva doesn't have to deal with it because she is fucking laid up in the big hospital. And that's been most of my week. That's been absolutely most of my week as I actually take, if you guys take one thing away from this, uh, this, uh, uh, uh, page update bit, which has been my life for the past week is not dying just miserable is the current status, which is why I'm going back to streams, uh, uh, starting Wednesday.

How were the adventures in hospital land? Terrible. And actually adventures in hospital land start, uh, like two weeks ago. This is like a, like a larger story. Um, so about pro, I don't know if you caught it on, uh, I don't know. I don't know if you caught it on Twitter, Willie, but there was a story that Paige told on Twitter where she was parking the car outside of her house, which is our house. I guess I did not know parking the car parallel parking.

Maybe she's taking like, you know, a second too long for the guy behind her, right? Guy thinks he's a good Samaritan, jumps out of his car, runs up to her car, reaches into the car, puts his head in the window and says, Oh, I'll help you miss and gets within inches of her face. Okay. No mask. No, nothing. Okay.

Nothing. What? Right. What? Oh yeah. And then, and then twists, twists her and she's so like, Oh, get away. But like, you know, you freeze cause now human contact is nightmarish. And he, he pulls her, her wheel a little bit over and goes, there you go.

And like goes back to his car and he's like, waves, like, I did it, I helped. So that is, so you've probably been aware, particularly those of you who listen to this podcast a lot, Paige and I have, have been, you know, like Paige was on to COVID, right? And we have been locked in for like way longer than everybody else and just way more locked in than anybody we know, like my parents made fun of me for a bit, just stupidity, right? So in the back of our head, every day, there's the, well, that guy's a dumb ass irresponsible moron. That's the kind of guy who walks around and super spreads, right?

Yep. And so about 15 days after that starts up in the house. And that's when the, just the, the fucking pit in the stomach starts to go. Now the problem that comes up first isn't even the cough. The problem that comes up first is that Paige has a bad back that is prone to spasm. So she starts coughing and her back starts to explode. Like just think of a Charlie horse that you punch, right? And that was already in play.

Yeah. And so we don't go anywhere. But after the third or fourth day of the cough, we decide, well, let's get you tested. So she goes down and gets the test, has to help her back out of the car because her back's so bad. And then later that day, it's just, you know, you hit that, that, that point of like personal pain just can't stand up. Can't stand up at all.

And I go, and you know, it's that thing is like, okay, well, you can't stand. Can you walk if I, if I, you know, put my, no. And so we start discussing like, oh, it was the sneeze. Yeah. She's in chat right now. Yeah. She sneezed. Okay.

Like she sneezed and basically fell over. So we're having the discussion because if she lays directly on her back, right, like straight, like, like a, like a vampire almost. Just like a two in terms of pain, right? But the instant she does any position other than that is a 10 on the pain scale. And this is a woman who has had a broken neck, the broken neck's probably the most painful, but a million other injuries, right? And illnesses.

So a 10 on the pain scale that has her like screaming and agony is outrageous. Okay. So we start having the discussion, should we go to the hospital? Should we wait a day, right? And every time she coughs, it's like a knife in her spine. And then we hit the point where I like, okay, let's go to the bathroom and I go to pick her up to go to the bathroom and she just crumples into like a sack of bricks and starts yelling hospital.

Okay. Mm hmm. It's time to go to the hospital. Yeah. Okay. Call the ambulance. This is a weird situation. Did you know that when you call an ambulance now, uh, they ask you a million questions

about COVID and then a spaceman shows up at your door? Yeah. Like a, like a fucking spaceman. Yes. And the spaceman explains to you that they can't risk getting their gear contaminated. So the person who can't walk and must be carried has to be carried to the front door so that we can put them on the stretcher on the street. That went as well as you could possibly expect.

Okay. Right. Which was badly on top of that, because of that pesky cough, when you go to the hospital, you go into the wing. You go into the dunno wing, which is guaranteed to have people coughing their shit out with COVID all over the place. Some of those dunnos are dunno, yeah, as opposed to dunno, which is a really fun experience I can imagine for a couple of days comes back.

Double negative test page and I, by comparison, don't have COVID pre hospital, the pre one and the post one. Okay. The one they gave her in the hospital. Okay. Once she arrived and the one beforehand. So double negative, which means the cough she went in with was not COVID. And after a lung x-ray, it's not pneumonia.

It's not the flu. It's apparently nothing. It's literally some fucking seasonal bullshit baby cold. Okay. That just happens to be terrifying now. Yes. When you combine that with, again, the vibration it causes, knife in the back, it doesn't matter what the source of it is.

Yeah. 10 on the pain scale. So we spent the entire past week of the hospital page being miserable, even on her morphine. Even on morphine, there's pain. That's wild. Okay. X-rays, MRIs, everything, she's currently so under the morphine before and under the morphine before and that shit does magic.

So that's kind of crazy to hear that it most of her stay walking was just not available. And for her entire stay, going to the bathroom is unavailable. Like she's currently on a catheter right now because it's just not going to happen. So X-ray every part of her body, particularly her spine, because the worry is, is like, hey, you can't go to the bathroom and you got to have the catheter and you can't walk because of spine pain, right? Uh-oh, right. You take the MRI of the spine, spine, he's got a hernia, but that's not like nightmarish.

So it appears to be. Wheelchair, do anything in that circumstance. Can't set up. Yeah. Okay. So it is, it appears to be currently a combination of a baby cough, some back herniation and horrible, horrible curse by which luck have combined to just annihilate everything in her back and press on all sorts of horrible nerve buttons to cause indescribable agonizing pain.

And they have yet to actually determine what's up. Okay. That seems kind of, that, that seems like wildly scary that a 10 on that, you know, pain chart is not something that's immediately detectable. Yeah, well. So currently fine, just miserable, waiting on more tests to make sure that it continues to be fine, just miserable. And then we'll work it through there.

So that's been my week. Yeah. Uh, also, uh, played watchdogs legions. That game sucks. That game sucks. Okay. Um, I mean, just in the brief transition, obviously, uh, hope you get well soon there, peach and like, damn, that, yeah, the, the scariness of investigating like you, as you

were bringing it up, like obviously like the scariness of investigating anything like that, which involves going down to the place where everyone has the Corona is one of those things that I'm like, I don't know what level of precaution outside of the hazmat suit could actually make that not insanely terrifying, you know, like, um, but yeah, anyway, I don't know. I can only imagine, uh, it looks like the tubes of clover field with the plastic around in the corners and the corridors and all that shit. Oh, the COVID shit?

Yeah. No, it's, uh, it's a plasterboard with the stickers still on them, okay, uh, but apparently that does it. So, uh, so yeah, that's been my week, uh, also watchdogs. Watchdogs is like a parody of a Ubisoft game, like it looks like shit. It runs like shit. It's super edgy and political, but not that game's success. Yeah.

Do you remember what I said last week? What's that? Uh, somebody, I know that worked on it, wanted to get their name off of it. So. Oh, I don't think you mentioned that it was for Legion. I think you just said there's a Ubisoft game person who wants to get their name off. Oh, man, the game's fucking terrible. How much, how much did you do?

An hour. You know, when you can, you know, when you started to play Breath of the Wild and you got to play for like four minutes and you were like, Oh man, this is the best, right? The other thing, the other version of that where you start moving your character around and like literally one second into controlling your character, you're like, no, no. And then story starts happening and you're like, okay, you know what, I can sum up the Watch Dogs Legion writing experience immediately. The first thing that you learn how to do in the game is crouch.

The second thing you learn how to do is do like a takedown, right? Sneak up behind somebody, hit X to do the takedown, right? When he does the takedown, your main character says that hurt you a lot more than it hurt me, haha. And walks on. Did you, uh, let's skim two at all? Yeah, I skim two, two had a much more interesting setting and character. This has no character.

Yeah, you're the city, right? You're just everybody. You're, you're random goons. Yeah. Okay. Well, also the game like looks like hideous. I don't know what, I don't know what I think it's art, maybe like the art style or something, even though it's like going for realism, like two look, one look boring, but fine.

Two looked kind of good. This game looks kind of horrible. There's a real, I don't understand Ubisoft. Why does Watch Dogs Legion have to come out literally one or two weeks before their other gigantic open world game Valhalla? I think it had to just come out at some point. I mean, the fact that it is out and that I have not seen or heard a single peep of anyone talking about it, except for that aforementioned, uh, get me out of this thing, uh, I mean is

one of those like, it feels as if it's a like, get it, just, just get it out there, put it on the shelves, whatever, you know, like I'm marketing wise, I have not seen anything. I've, I've seen no site takeovers of, of any places I've visited, nothing. I've seen fucking zilch, you know, doesn't feel like a ton of, um, like push. So I have to say, like one of those things that like gives you like a, a, like a, like a bad first impression before you even install the game is, um, it's the game I got with my video card for free. Okay.

Um, you want to hear something funny about that? It runs terribly on the PC. That big fancy video card that I have, the most powerful, sorry, the second most powerful video card that exists. I can't get it to run at 60 frames a second fucking rad, like just, it's, I literally can't get it to do the thing that I guess I, the thing on the box, I guess I could turn it down to like 10 ADP maybe, but like fucking Jesus. That's pretty sweet.

Okay. That game's poop. Well, um, what can I say besides, uh, waste of a good name? Cause I always thought the whole, in the Bible, the demon legion, you know, for we are many, that thing's always been cool. Legion's cool. Mass Effect Legion's great. Legion's a cool demon.

It's a cool biblical reference and, um, hurts me a little bit to see it wasted because, you know, back in the, back in the church days, you're not supposed to really like the demons, but it was like, if you're going to, even though they're cool, but if you're going to talk about which ones were cooler than the others, then it would, the Legion would definitely be up there as far as the cool demons go because he said his name is Legion for we are many. So, you know, yeah, that's a shame to waste all that cool name on, on bad use. Yeah, but it's Ubisoft.

So, yeah, that's it for me. I'll be streaming more regularly, uh, but later in the night so that if this dumb doggy baby starts to act up, I can put him to bed, uh, this week, uh, I took Watch Dogs Legion off the schedule. Would you believe it? How about it? Uh, and instead I'll be playing Visage, which came out, which is that game that is like PT, but like a full game.

Okay. All right. It was one of the last shitstorm games that we ever did back when it was early, early, early and early access. Now, um, just hypothetical, putting it out there, page, bed, man, bed, bed, man, bed, moves around for you, you get to stay prone. It does all the walk in. It does all the fighting and the time traveling.

You want to supply a bed, man, bed, bed, man, bed can be done. There's Laura about to be done right now. There's Laura about the different iterations of the bed, man, bed that he's gone through in the timeline. There's Laura about it. So you know, there's possibilities out there. So I'm saying it's not, it's not, it's not entirely hopeless. Page look up bed, man.

In chat. I just see peach saliva go, I'm bed man, look up, look up bed man page. You want to supply a robotic bed? I mean, the beds, I mean, sure, he's one of the strongest, um, anyway, uh, okay, well, I mean, with that, uh, I will say that, um, yeah. I had a bunch of shit going on this week. Pretty busy. Um, I guess is everyone well in your household?

Hopefully. Yeah. No. The, the, uh, uh, the, the back pain that, um, punch mom was having, uh, seems to be like, yeah, she just made a hand wave as if to say she's over it. Um, so like it didn't get much worse. So that's positive. Um, what?

I'm just laughing like she needs to hear how it was going and compare to what page is going through. She's like, my shit's nothing. So I'm totally fine. You know. So yeah, yeah. Well that's nice. Um, dog, what do you want dog?

You can't eat me. This dog tricked me today. Like straight up 100% tricked me. He was at the top of the stairs and he was like, come on downstairs. I'm like, and he was like, no, I don't want to. And I was like, come on, come on. And he did that thing where he like walked back and forth on the top of the stairs. Like he didn't know what to do.

And then I got to the bottom and I was like, I moved where he couldn't see me. And he was like, well, he did the head turn and I look back and he get all excited. And he did that a couple of times. And then a third time he was gone, body. He was gone. I'm like, where'd he go? Oh, no. By the time I got upstairs into the other room, he had managed to eat all of the cat food.

Rect. Get fucking wrecked. Just 100% 100% tricked me. I've been played already this early in the game, zero one. Oh, it's not zero one. It's like, it's like two eight. Um, well, anyway, uh, yeah, uh, in terms of stuff going on, uh, yonder this side, uh, played some of that phasmo phobia, which I can now say correctly.

Yeah, I know, right? So, uh, I was greatly worried about it going in because it's an early access and it is jank. Um, it's super jank. It feels really rough in a lot of ways. And the models are just, you know, there's a lot that's happening though where you're just like, oh boy, this feels like it's barely held together. Um, and in fact, uh, when I was doing a little like just test to make sure everything was

okay, um, the, I couldn't get my voice detection working in game for some reason. I could. Um, you need that. I do need that. And then, uh, I did discover the reason and, uh, I fixed it. Um, should I build a tent under the bus? Yeah, maybe. I don't know.

Well, okay. What is happening? I'm so confused. Uh, the reason why, uh, the, the voice detection doesn't work or didn't work initially, uh, is because, uh, for the speech recognition system that it uses to, uh, function properly, it needs Cortana and Cortana is exclusively available with windows 10, uh-huh, which I was not running on my, uh, game PC really? Yeah.

You running seven? I was still running eight. Really? Yeah. Weird. Okay. So because I didn't, I had run it. I had been running 10 elsewhere and I didn't want to deal with it.

So I was like, I'm not going to upgrade my, my gaming PC until I need to. And then this is the, this is the wall I hit, which is interesting considering the timing is like, okay, well the replacements in the mail, uh, shout out artesian builds, but the replacement is now on point to come in and it'll obviously have 10 on it. Boy, I did not feel like, I'm so confused because you upgraded from seven to eight, but you wouldn't upgrade from eight to 10. No, uh, that computer had eight when I got it. Oh, okay.

It had eight the entire time. Yeah. So the other, like the streaming laptop I eventually got was like already with 10 and everything and yada, yada, yada, yada, but, uh, yeah. So anyway, so that's what, that's what it was. So I'm like, all right, let me just, you know, fix this by whatever, um, um, running it off of the, the, the, the stream set up instead. And we did that.

And then it was fine. Um, all the jank of the game is, and the tutorial also front loads a bunch of, um, like when you kind of front loads a bunch of things where you're like, okay, it's introducing these tools to you sort of one by one, but you're not, it's a bit hard to get a grasp of like what exactly, um, it, you're, you're like supposed to do with each one specifically. Um, some of, cause in some cases it's like you hold it up and use it. In some cases it's put it down. There's like a little bit of a, just, I had a little bit of confusion with the tutorial,

but, um, you know, in the end, the tutorial is apparently like the hardest part of the entire game. It's a, it's a haunt. The tutorial is a haunt and it just, you walk up to a TV and you click through it and then you get used to the process of what the game is essentially, you know? Um, but there's a lot of things the game doesn't tell you. Obviously, I think it's, you know, some of it for the sake of letting you sus, be surprised by the mechanics and others things are just like not explained, you know?

Um, but, uh, a lot of that fear went away once the actual multiplayer starts, right? And you're playing with the, with the, uh, uh, you know, co-op and you're, uh, communicating and using the mics and everything is like doing what the game is supposed to. Uh, it's, it's quite good. It's pretty solid. And I can see that like, yeah, the focus is, yeah, don't worry too much about that stuff. Let's, let's the, the, the, the, the meat of the game is going to be, you know, once everyone has passed that and somebody who knows how to play or who has played before and is familiar

with the tools will be able to give you tips and, and kind of guide the hips a little bit and stuff. So, um, you know, we were able to do that, uh, fairly, uh, well and yeah, you know, different types of spooks, different types of demons and Oni and, and you know, uh, uh, uh, ghosts and whatever all have different personality types and different things they like and they hate. So when you're doing your basically like TV investigation mission where, you know, you're walking around kind of doing like, uh, hey ghost, it's your boy type thing.

Um, yeah, it ends up, you know, feeling, it ends up feeling pretty fun and immersive, especially considering the, the way that the speech recognition works is, uh, you're not using discord, you're using the in game, uh, detection and there's two forms of communication. There's local. So you can only hear anyone who's standing next to you and if they walk further away or if something pulls them away or something happens, then you cannot hear them anymore. And then there's your walkie talkie, which everyone can use and share comms with. So, um, that is a, uh, a second way for people to communicate in the game.

And uh, yeah, it ends up, it ends up working out pretty well. Um, so, uh, that was pretty cool. Did that on Halloween night, uh, as well as among us, which I talked about a little bit before, um, pretty, you know, pretty great, pretty straightforward. One thing I will say about among us, uh, is that the first map is, I think everyone's kind of used to a bit, uh, once you start going into those other maps where there's different games and things that you might not have seen as much, uh, boy, does it get hard to lie.

I think that second map's pretty all right, but that third one, I, I can't stand. It's bigger and it's scarier and I don't, like I spent so much time getting lost that like when the, when the meeting gets called and everyone's like, what are you doing? What are you up to? I'm like, I don't know. I'm just wandering the hallways trying to find my objectives. It gets pretty rough. Where were you?

I don't, I have no idea, you know, uh, and like in some cases it was like, oh, what game were you playing or what quest were you doing? And then, you know, if you have to lie about it, it's like, oh fuck, I've never even seen this game before. This is not going to work. You know? So, um, yeah. What I said last time maintains in that if you've absolutely memorized, uh, the maps,

the layouts, the events and all the games, you can definitely craft a, uh, a, a Cromulant explanation or alibi at any given moment versus when we're all wandering around trying to figure out where the fuck the admin is, you know, or in, in some cases, like I literally, uh, was too slow putting in the, um, the, the, the two, the two factor, there's a two factor, um, um, password thing that has to be entered to stop, uh, uh, I think not a meltdown, but another type of major crash from happening and just too, too slow putting the buttons in and then we all didn't know really about the second thing entirely. So, you know, failed on that was way too slow with it.

Um, but yeah, that game continues to be what it is. Uh, oxygen. Oh, there you go. The oxygen, uh, uh, mini game. Um, so that was, that was, uh, uh, a fun little Halloween thing. Um, earlier in the week, I also took a look at some, um, you know, I'd say the, the, the, the commonality is red, red and white girl action games or like white haired, I don't know, whatever.

I played other side and I played, uh, Helltaker. Both of these games have the same color palette. Both of these games have character designs that are like girls with white hair and a red detail somewhere on them. I'm trying to, I'm trying to pull that together, you know, that's it. They had, they had, that's it, even though those two are just wildly different, wildly different. And I had wildly different experiences and impressions of them.

Helltaker, uh, I overthought what that was going to be. Uh, I thought Helltaker was going to be, um, I don't know, like I thought there was going to be a, a slightly more than flimsy premise for these waifus to exist. And the game itself, I mean, I mean the premise is I want to make a game that has these waifus in it. I was under the assumption of fan art bait. What I've been told is the creator wanted to bait artists into drawing fan art of sharply dressed demon girls.

And this is a noble cause. Uh, I don't think anyone is going to baham bug that. And uh, I heard about that too, going in and then we booted up and I'm like, all right, let's see what's going on. And then the game is basically just saying, yeah, you're a guy that woke up one day and realized you don't have a sharply dressed, uh, demon harem and what kind of life is worth living without a sharply dressed demon harem. So you go to hell and you start building your harem and that's it.

Okay. And then you play this super fucking basic ass. Like it could have been made on a, on a Coleco vision puzzle game. Okay. So it is a puzzle game. Yeah. Cause I looked at screenshots and I'm like, that's a puzzle game. And then I asked people if it was a puzzle game and people said, no, it's not a puzzle

game. And I was like, what's that mean? And I guess what you're saying is that it is so basic that the, the puzzles are just like, it is absolute dressing. It is, you are standing on a grid. You can move in all directions and you have a limited number of steps to make it to the waifu and there are blocks in the way that need to be pushed. Enemies that need to be knocked and occasionally spikes that will take an extra move away from

you. And that's it. It's just navigate the maze with a limited number of moves and it's the most basic bitch shit, but so it's hell take her go and then, but then the moment, yeah, I mean, you can almost, but like go at least has like go has those shiny sort of like 3d. I'm looking at a, at a, at a representation of this event taking place visuals going on. This is way more basic than that. For when you hit the retry button or transition from one stage to the other, then the most

elaborate, gorgeous transition of a hell take her like screen slams and covers everything and it's just immaculately detailed and then it pulls itself away and you're spit right back out into this fucking basic ass pixel thing, you know, but it was fun. It was fun. And then you make it to your waifus and then every time you get to them, uh, they are just a cute design and then they have a personality that is described in the brackets or it with a comma or rather, you choose one of two options. One of them leads to them killing you in a way that you'll probably enjoy.

And the other is they join your harem and then you switch levels and then do it again. And that's it. That's the whole thing. Don't forget to hit the advice button to get some interactions with these waifus. So when everyone was like going nuts about hell take her, it's like, Oh, it's not cause it's a great puzzle game. It's fine. It's just a basic puzzle game.

It's completely fine as a puzzle game. They use that system in an interesting way towards the end where you have them to use it on a puzzle boss fight. So you know, it's kind of like how you play, um, uh, necromancer and then at the end of a stage, you then have to find a boss and use the pattern and use, you know, the same system in that sort of environment. It just does one of those. And, uh, you know, uh, yeah, the game is unapologetically parched, parched and, and, and clawing for

any moisture it can get. In many cases, your dialogue options are glug that gallon of water or sip the water from the martini glass, but you are never not thirsty and hell take her. Yeah. Two hours of your time, probably, you know, it's a super, it almost feels like a, a game jam given a little bit more time kind of project, but yeah, a fun little, little, little cute thing. The tone you're describing is the one million percent opposite of other side.

Yes. Boy, could it not be more different except for the color, the colors they share and, uh, the, the cast of, uh, uh, well-designed girls that you kind of play as or rather find, uh, other side. Have you touched it? Yeah. Okay. I did a, I did a sponsored stream for it.

I played it for about four hours. Okay. Um, it gets, uh, I got to the, I got to the boss and fuck, like you are meant to build up a team over multiple runs for that shit. That thing is ridiculous. I could see the system and its unforgiving nature immediately on the first, first level. I'm like, oh yeah, this thing wants you dead. Healing is, is, uh, at a premium.

Not available. Don't heal unless you sacrifice a unit to do so, uh, you cannot like you can, you can upgrade moves, but you have to spend currency to lock them in to a character to lock in a move that's upgraded or lock in a, um, like a, a, whatever it's called, uh, the, the memories. Right. Um, it, in the end it was very stylish and I do like the, you know, uh, per, I do like the permadeath of the units. I like the grid system and I like how you can kind of set up combos or like what it was

kind of getting at. Um, it front loads that railroaded set of missions, tutorial missions, uh, really aggressively and I basically kind of got, I don't know how to describe it, but there's a very unpleasant feeling where you're just drowning in explanation windows of systems that you're like, I'm not, I haven't had a chance to internalize the last thing I read. Now I have literally three, um, you should, you should play Crusader Kings. Hmm. The, the comparison is a XCOM as well, right, uh, that type of system.

But um, yeah, it all kind of culminates into a point where I enter a mission and you're seeing the, I can see in the background, the, the daughters are appearing in cool like ways on the map and enemies are showing up in places and I'm hearing them having, exchanging dialogue. But I can't see it because there's a tutorial for a system that's blocking that. But over that tutorial is another window for a different tutorial blocking the first tutorial window and it's just going like, Hey, make sure that you know about this type of thing. And I'm like, there's three levels of fucking screen obfuscation happening here. And I'm like, guys, like you gotta handle this differently.

Memory of something that I should, uh, that I wanted to mention last week that I had completely forgotten about, about amnesia rebirth that was a perfect summation of that game's problems. You get the tutorial for how to hide enemies before you physically see the first enemy in the game. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like it's very spooky and it sounds like there's something might be around and you like climb up an elevator and walk out onto a landing and it goes hide from enemies by looking around

corners. And here's the buttons that you used to do. And it's like, well now I know the enemies in the fucking room with me. Great. Thank you. I found some bugs right off the bat. I found that if you have a controller and you have a mouse cursor, you can select two different options on any menu at the same time, which invariably leads to fun.

And when you set the subtitles to extra big, sometimes they overlap like actual, like some of the poems or loading screens or cutscene things. Yeah. I've seen like a couple of games that have like big UI stuff and it's like, oh I appreciate it. And then when you actually do it, like it just breaks every frame untested and it's like, why is this in here? Yeah.

And in this case, like there's a poem that you start the game on that plays out. And then the big subtitle version is just appearing overlapping that main one, but the text is fading away faster on the subtitle. So it's not helpful to read that. So you just revert to reading the original anyway, but it's blocked, you know. So yeah, there's some stuff. The whole daughter generation thing is pretty cool and very edge, you know, the music gets a little bit effinescence at points.

You choose that whole game feels like an evanescence album. It could be. It could be. It could definitely be the liner notes with the scarves and the shields and the long white hair. But it was there. There were some cool designs, you know, and the cutscenes seem to be implying a story that could be interesting, a world that could be, you know, going places.

But yeah, the edge was present and it was the only and I did like what I played. I did enjoy the gameplay once it was going, you know, there was a couple rules to get used to when actions and movement take from the same pool. Man, that's mean, you know, like I'm so used to like these turn based strategy games where you move and then you shoot and these are two separate things and maybe your character is really, really cool and they get to do one of those things twice. But in this case, it's like, nah, you have a hundred points. You could only use 50.

Otherwise you go into burst mode, which is going to take extra long when your second turn comes back around, essentially take a second turn immediately and don't you try to do anything too cool after you've walked a decent couple of steps because then you're going into that 50, you know, essentially a second turn. Yeah. So I was like, man, I do like when those things are separate actions from each other, but you know, it's made to be difficult, right? I can see that.

So in the end, I was like, yeah, okay, I see what's going on here. But there's definitely a lot that's lost in how it conveys its lessons to you and they could do a lot better guiding you in and kind of getting you used to the system in a way. It also at a point towards the end of like the first or second day, there was a point where I started going into each little optional information screen. There's like the memories you collect, the stories, the lore, the icon, the things you could equip to your daughters on a bunch of different screens and like each one of them came with its own just like, okay, here on this screen, but at an explanation, you know,

but like, yeah, again, I just, I was getting them so there was, there were just, it was just too dense. It was too dense with that stuff. So you know, stylish execution, stylish art design, fun audio, decent gameplay, but a little bit too much on a lot of the other stuff. So yeah, I kind of left with a bit of a middling impression on that. There's a weird thing that goes on with like everything that is in any way similar to XCOM where you play it.

And instead of going, man, I can't wait to play more of this. You go, man, I should get back to XCOM. I should just start up a new run of XCOM. So I didn't have that thought, but I did absolutely think, man, I can't wait for Darkest Dungeon too. That is a very similar thought process. Yeah. Cause Darkest Dungeon, yeah.

You know what, I can see how other side also has like shared Darkest Dungeon DNA, particularly with the tone. Yeah. I was, I was, you know, I was left feeling like, yep, really want to go back to that. See what's new. And you know, beyond that, I talked about this a while ago, but I went back. I finished Spark the Electric Jester and that was a fantastic throwback game. One ass vibes of everything from the 16 bit era.

And yeah, I'm looking forward to at some point when I get the chance, perhaps when like Reggie steps out for a day or so, popping in Spark the Electric Jester two and then three is announced. So I can see that they're basically following the, the sonic trajectory, but really, really cool ending to that and amazing, amazing classic music. Like I, it's weird. Like I feel like that game has a soundtrack that should be way more celebrated. You know, like we all love like what Toby Fox is doing and we all love cave stories music.

You know, Spark has some incredible tracks that I don't see around the internet that I would definitely feel we should see them. So many less people have played it. You're the only person I've spoken to has ever literally said the word Spark the Electric Jester. Perhaps, perhaps, you know, but I would definitely, like I'm not saying it's, it's like, like there's a, there's a pantheon of fucking incredible game music. But I mean, like, you know, if it deserves recognition, there's some super banger tracks

in that that I loved. So there's that. I decided to sit down and watch me some anime. And I'm watching some, I'm watching some stuff for, for, you know, beyond this for in my own time, but you know, at least in time for the podcast, I was able to catch up on the latest episode of Akudama Drive. And Akudama Drive is the new anime from 2Q Studios, the, the, the combination of Zero Escape Guy and Danganronpa Guy.

What's up? So I've been seeing clips of this, this thing around and one boy is an insanely obvious that it is made by the Zero Escape Guy and the Danganronpa guy from like a single frame of that show. Like it looks like the Danganronpa characters, like you're playing Danganronpa and then you just move the camera over like it is so similar in art. Yeah. The artist that did that, the promo art for it is done by the same artist.

So like you're looking at it and going, oh yeah, here's your rogues gallery. Here's your cast of characters, you know, though I saw, I probably watched like 25 minutes of it in total, just skimming clips that just keep showing up on that their internet. And my impression of it is very weird because I didn't really watch it. So all I know is that it animates really well. It looks really cool and I cannot, I literally cannot stop laughing at the dialogue because I don't know what an Akuma, what is it? Akumada.

No, Akudama. Akudama. Akudama. I don't know what an Akudama is, but they all do and will just constantly say it to each other and how I'm an Akudama and you're, no, we're not, we're all like, and it's like it is the most hilariously untranslated shit ever. Oh my goodness. So Akudama in this series, in this show, is just, it's the active subject word, proper

noun that is going to be your replacement, where if you're watching Hunter, Hunter, it's the word Hunter, I'm desperately scrolling through my shelf to look for other things where there's a job that's the main thing and everyone just says it all the time. But it's that thing, right, it's just, it's the word, dualist, it's, it's, it's the word dualist. Does it mean something? They have, they have not yet, Ninja for Naruto, absolutely. Hero.

Hero. A wizard. Yeah. Alchemist. You know, alchemist, yes, it's your active job, it's the big job. In this case, they have not yet had a full-on explanation, but it seems to, through context, mean criminal. Okay.

It seems to mean criminal. I think. Pirate. That I think that the people subtitling it may have wanted to change that, because literally all I can see whenever anyone talks is all according to Keikaku. So the thing is that it's the name of the show, so they're probably going to be more on about keeping it on brand with the title. And at some point, there will likely be a breakdown screen with two little puppets explaining

what actually an akudama is. But for now, it doesn't have a clear explanation, it just seems to be a criminal. Someone who's kind of a thug that perhaps has been convicted. People are obviously going to say that I'm watching it out of context, of course I'm not going to understand. I don't think you guys are getting. My problem is not the non-understanding of the goddamn term. My problem is that the anime thing of just Inuyasha, I can't believe you are a akumadima.

It's an interesting problem. Translate it. But it feels, but it's so present in anime where the job name thing, okay, well, you're talking about the translation, I'm just laughing at the fact that the job name thing gets used and thrown about all day by everybody in a way that makes you think like almost like other jobs don't exist, you know, when you're dealing with Pokemon masters, you're only talking about people who have jobs pertaining to Pokemon, and this is all there is to it. You know, it kind of like you have a bit of a slower time painting out a world where

it's like, all right, you're not a pirate, but well, you know, I'm not going to use one piece because I don't fucking know, but you're not a ninja, but like you might be like a ninja librarian or historian, you know, obviously Jedi in fucking Kotor end up having this interesting thing where they're such a big old important lore ass job, but in the actual world, they're fucking kind of hated and despised, which was like interesting when I was going through that. I like that little, that little flavor on it, but the anime job is always like I'm always on the lookout for just like, all right, this one's about Beyblades.

So everyone's going to be talking about how the economy runs on being a Beyblader. And if you're into gunpla and you build your gunpla, you can pick up chicks. So says fucking build fighters. You can literally have a gunpla built and sent to the girl down at the down the bar. And she'll be like, oh my goodness, wow, such good taste. You know, so yeah. Anyway, it's a good ass show. It's when I read subtitles and there's just like.

Hardcore, like non localized stuff in it that particularly if it's made up words. Yeah, all I can think of is that the care. So the I just checked the story takes place in Japan, but they're all coming off like horrible weeaboos. It again, I give it slack here because it's the title of the show. It's it's it's capital A when they say it. So there's going to be something to it that might not necessarily just be. It's just a replacement word for criminal because the world setting is also kind of

weird and there's some crazy shit in it that is not like fully explained yet. So, um, yeah, we're kind of waiting to see what it means, you know, but I want to, I, you know, I just I ever see somebody else say something that perfectly encapsulates what you wanted to say and it's like, how can I get this across? Because it's such a weird thing. And I saw what might be a dumbass in the chat making fun of me for the fake question. Why didn't they just translate the word Pokemon? And that's exactly it.

How about that? Pocket monsters sound stupid in English. Pokemon sounds fine. Sure. And Pokemon isn't a word. It was a made up noun. Yeah. Also, uh, good luck fitting a fucking Zangus in your pocket.

You know, that shit should be called ultra criminal drive. Sure. Once they're in the Pokeball, of course, they can fit it in your pocket, but. And then they should they should. Oh, man, I can't believe you're an all caps ultra criminal. Perhaps they should be called digital monsters. Maybe, maybe, maybe. The thing is, is, uh, when you're in Bleach World, you're not a death reaper.

You're a Shinigami. That's right. And if you're talking about the job, you're talking about the Shinigami. You're not a reaper. You're not a grim reaper or a death reaper of any kind. You're specifically saying capital S, Shinigami. This is what we've built. This is what we're in.

This is such a weird, I feel like I'm nitpicking this really hard, but like, I'm not like, this is not an unknown emotion that I'm feeling, right? Like, particularly when you watch subtitles and there's just shit. That's just like wildly out of place with the own subtitles. Yeah, I think, um, again, in some cases is just, I don't know. It depends on where it's going to go. Um, I know that in Danganronpa's case, uh, you have a weird thing of like, you could have just said, Oh yeah, this is a like prodigy, uh, cook or a prodigy sports

star, but they have the specific terminology in, in the untranslated version, which is super high school level and super high school level is, is the way of saying you are the best, uh, like junior or whatever in the country. And they just translate it into ultimate, you know, um, ultimate simplifies that I think, but it still is not like ultimate is, is kind of implying like, Oh yeah, that's the best whatever. That's the best cook. If you're the ultimate cook, um, but like, it gets used in ways that like,

you're like, Oh, the language here is, I'm really confused by what you mean when you're describing like your super high school level skill is luck. You know, it like, what, like, how do you quantify that exactly? Um, you can't quantify luck. Yeah. It's the whole point. Uh, but, but in any case, though, the flavoring of, of, of the studio and the people behind it is coming through quite well and, and quite strongly because,

uh, these characters are introduced in a way that is like, yeah, here is your gang of, of, you know, miscreants. You're, you're, you're, um, you're going to be following along these people. And, um, what I will say is in the case of zero escape, in the case of, uh, Danganronpa, in most cases, though, you know, about it's a toss up. It's about half and half, maybe two out of three. You have a case situation where the cast is made up of people that are generally confused, but otherwise decent people stuck in a situation and then hidden

among them are the assholes who are like, I'm going to capitalize and try to, you know, figure out what to do to get ahead or whatever. And the game, the death game is a, is, is a foot. And then it's like, uh-oh, who's going to show themselves to be, uh, so greedy that they're willing to kill everybody to make their way out. Um, versus who's going to be, um, altruistic. The cast in Akudama drive is full of shitbag murderers and they're all pieces of shit. They're all scum with the exception of like one, maybe possibly two.

But so far there's one person who's not a piece of shit. Um, you do not have to relate to these people and they're not meant to. We'll see where it goes, but it doesn't seem like they're meant to be people where you're like, Oh no, I'm worried about, it's like, no, no, whatever happens to anyone on this cast, boy, they had it coming because the, the, the whole group, like from the jump, their establishing shots are a bunch, are oftentimes look at how much murder I commit. And if I didn't commit murder in my establishing shot, I will before the

end of the first episode, we're all scum. Now plot, move forward, go where it go. You know, um, so yeah, it's, and then like at some point, you know, the, the, oh no, the cops show up and, and like, that's kind of like the, the, the big battles that are occurring when the cops show up to these, these gang group of criminals and you're like, I mean, I guess we want one of them to win, but quite frankly, I don't give a fuck. Like what happens to this cool, well-animated fight seat.

Yeah, you don't give a fuck what happens to any of these people. Again, with one exception, you know, um, it's, it's a, yeah, I guess it's the actual quote unquote suicide squad vibe of like, you know, like you're not an anti-hero, you know, in this case, you're like, no, no, these are absolute trash wrecks that would be villains in any other, uh, um, story. Art style is super stylish. Uh, the Tokyo they depict is really cool. It's got massive, um, action and lots of homages to Western movies and things like

that. The, the Blade Runner future is intact. There are in fact giant cyber blimps and, um, big skyscrapers with like, um, uh, geisha kind of like on the side advertising, you know what I mean? Little Blade Runner things. Uh, every episode so far has been named after, um, a movie or a Western thing. Episode one is called seven with the, with the V as a seven. Oh yeah, sure enough.

Wow. Yeah. Episode two is reservoir dogs. Episode three is Mission Impossible. Episode four is speed. Episode five is dead man walking like they're just going for it like straight. Um, and both were fans of reservoir dogs, pulp fictions and the usual suspects and their fascination.

These films went into their desire to make a story set in a cyberpunk world with a Quentin Tarantino and style plot. Yeah, uh, I can see that. Um, it's the, the plot's just moving. Things are going places. Uh, I can see that I can see, uh, I see a bit of Tarantino, a bit of run, little run in some ways, but ultimately it's, it's, it's, you're feeling the like, um, gang of, uh, of characters sort of trapped in a situation that they're trying

to figure out as they go sort of vibe, you know, um, it like, it almost, it's almost as if it like, it didn't have to be a death game, but it sort of still is, you know, so, um, yeah, but whatever. I'm on the wiki and I believe I can translate the word a kudama. Mm hmm. It means criminal. Okay. That makes sense.

This show should be called criminal tribe. Um, and yeah, the setting is, is, is, uh, it's, it's a really interesting one. Like I said, visually they do things where the establishing shots kind of slide buildings into place as if they were cardboard backdrops, which is a very dang and rampa thing to do. Um, I'm seeing those kind of, uh, moments. They have two little mascots that appear and explain some of the plot to you. Um, and you know, part of the setting, uh, is this kind of wild thing that, you

know, again, they're going to need to, that we don't have any real idea of the explanation so far, but like there's an, there's a civil war that takes place in Japan and this is a post civil war, uh, cyberpunk, Kansai future, you know? Um, so yeah, uh, definitely, definitely, uh, interesting, worth checking out and fun action going down, um, very, very, uh, simple ass characters doing their simple ass things and, and again, it's, it's, it's, it's nice to kind of, it's not nice, but it's, it's interesting to have a thing where you don't have to root for anybody.

You just follow along and whatever happens happens. It's like, well, you got a, you got a root for Swindler. Sure. Sure. But, um, as it stands, it's like, oh, did a main character just get shot in the face? Sick. Cool.

Great. You had it coming. Oh, well, okay. Well, we'll see what happens. Okay. Well, yeah, no, fine. You know, whatever. Um, so yeah, uh, Aku Dama Drive is, is currently up to episode four.

Um, and it's fucking killing it. And, uh, yeah, I first learned about it in the form of big dreadlock man punching the shit out of a bunch of robots. Um, and then a friend jumped in, uh, uh, my messages and was like, no, like, or get the fuck on this thing. It's really, really cool and interesting. And yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's great. Uh, so I watched that and, uh, you know, I'm probably not going to follow it week

to week, but I'll jump back in when there's another couple to binge, you know, I feel like I'll enjoy doing it that way. Studio Pierrot, man, fucking good shit. And then, uh, yeah, I jumped on that guilty gear double X accent core plus rollback beta. It's three dollars. The game is fucking dirt ass sheep. That game's three dollars. So the beta was supposed to end today, but thankfully it's been extended till next weekend.

So, you know, what's funny about accent core plus what's it called? Plus R plus our smooth brain game. Guess who got fired from that project? Yep. Mike Z. Mike Z was working on it. And then ArcSys was like, what? So it's, it's Mike Z in there.

Yeah. So there's a team out of here, Mike Z. So there was a rollback team that was working on this, uh, outside of ArcSys in general for a while. And then I think what happened was ArcSys contacted them officially and said, hey, do you want to, you know, make these efforts real? And, and, and, and they were like, yeah. And then that all kind of came together. And then at some point they were like, oh yeah.

It was discovered that Mike Z was working on the team. And then they're like, okay, well, none anymore. And then that happened. The, uh, so just like KOF, when you get it, you got to go to your beta tab and, and, uh, steam and switch the, uh, environment to the rollback beta. And, uh, I can say that that shit works. Guess what? It fucking does its job.

I played a bunch of it and I would say I got a good, uh, 30, 40 matches in. I had, um, what would be the stat on this? I had a couple of really bad matches. Uh, it was not as perfect as say KOF was, um, but I think I had a total of like three bad matches out of that 30 or so. Um, and, uh, I was going with the recommended, um, uh, offset. So, you know, don't necessarily, I put it on one. The recommendation was on one for me.

So I put it to one, um, you know, there's a good Keats video kind of talking about the, like, it's like, you know, like putting it on zero across the board is like everyone would want to do that, but it's probably for the best that it's not. Yeah. Let's be realistic. Be realistic. Exactly. You know, but, um, I was playing it on one and yeah, um, you know, 27 out of 30 or so

matches were totally perfect. And then there were three that were pretty awful. Um, but I had a, I had a good ass time with it and I got my ass fucking beat. Yeah. And then I won some games. I won some games. It wasn't too, too bad. By the end I was like, Hey, I think I had like a, like a 30% win ratio or so from those

games. I'm like, okay, I can do some stuff, but, uh, boy, when it is not your turn to play in that game, you just get absolutely fucking annihilated. And there's all these great clips of people playing and, you know, uh, they're getting their souls taken. Are you familiar with the parlance of getting your soul taken? You've, you've explained it to me like two or three times and I laugh every time. And then I immediately forget because it's more specific than I thought.

Whereas like, is it like forcing a burst and then bursting them yourself? Grabbing someone's burst. Okay. Yeah. Like you have a, you have one get out of jail free card when you're getting your ass beat and it's just a big old pop. Stop hitting me. And if they knock some back and knocks everybody back.

And if I know that you're about to press it, I can just absolutely let you do it, block it, or move in before it activates and grab your ass. There's a great clip like Jay Wong popping a burst out and Potemkin just goes, nope, and fucking anti airs it. You know, it's so like, it's the ultimate form of like, you had one shot and you were so predictable. I downloaded you so thoroughly that I knew the exact moment that you were going to try to shoot your shot.

And I stuffed it out of the air. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely shut it down and go home. At the very least take five after you get your soul taken. Take five. The, the Montreal Air Dasher crew, the anime boys, I believe they had a policy of 20 pushups. If you get your soul taken and that's about right.

I think that's the, I stand by that. You get your soul taken live. Everyone sees it, get the fuck on the ground, hit the deck, sweat it out, sweat it out, bro. You ain't playing, you know. So that was a, yeah, a good ass time. A good ass time. And of course, since the beta has been extended, I'll be taking a look at that Thursday night on get into fighting games.

We're going to jump into the lab. We're going to break it down. And I'm going to be joined by my boy, Kizzy K. Ice, dude, your, your pronunciation, your intonation on the title of the thing I've heard a million times through me for a loop. You said get into fighting games. And I thought like, what is this? Is this a new segment or woolly punches like a game?

Just completely just cut through my brain. Okay. Well, anyway, GIFG English is weird. Getting to fighting games for glory, going down. Kizzy K is jumping on with us. He's going to teach us about that plus R. We're going to get into it. I can't wait.

Um, I got my bike in on deck and of course I got to fucking learn how to play for real. That's not enough. I also have some other characters. That's not going to happen. No, no, no, no, no. I'm saying he's coming into teach. He's coming into teach. Yeah.

Yeah. So I got to, I got to, I got to get my, my, my, uh, my shit on point with that. And, um, I'm a big cliff guy. Cliff would be my secondary, if anything, that I'd want to learn how to play. Cliff like horribly busted or is he actually good and like normal? Accent core plus R. Accent core, original justice and cliff were unfair. In plus R they got rebalanced.

Um, that's nice because I really liked them, but they were almost always busted bosses characters. Holy order. Saul is fucking rad too. I'm a big fan of, of, uh, you're not going to do the instant kill in a match. I didn't stop it in my lore video. Yeah. Yeah. So I, yeah.

That's what I thought. I did it in the lore video. It's fine. And hey, it's just, it's just guilty years equivalent of a deadly rave Neo or deadly rave for that. Yeah. That's, that's, uh, you know, that both is and isn't true. You're going, it is a magic series into a final input.

That yeah, I can mash out a Neo deadly rave. Like I've never done holy orders. Olds fucking instant kill, not out of training mode at least, uh, in match. No, I said, I definitely not, uh, but it's super rad and it's the type of thing that makes me wish there was more of that in the game. You know, I wish there was more of those, uh, uh, like you can confirm into an instant kill if, if you fucking have the, like the wind condition set. Um, but yes, uh, that's going to be going down Thursday.

Uh, so yeah, uh, all of that, uh, good shit. Of course, over at woolly versus and, uh, this week we continue with, um, Mario galaxy two, uh, infinite warfare, uh, and 13 sentinels, uh, which are all going to be going down, you know, on the, the, the regular slots. And then, um, so I, I, I just want to talk about 13 sentinels for just a second because I've been, I've been peeking in on your LP and you're actually further along on some characters than I am. So I, I have to be careful.

Um, but, uh, what's his name? I forget the guy's name, but the guy whose background starts with the flames. He's the good world war two kid with the hat. Uh, Mira, Mira, I, I scrubbed around back through the episodes until I could find you pressing start on that character. Um, that's a great moment. That like that game goes from like, this is a really great game to this is a really great game.

I don't know how to describe it. And again, no spoilers at all, but I am terrified of progressing with him any further. I'm terrified because we were so captivated by what was happening that the game lets you branch and pick who you want to follow through your stories on. And I was like, you know, you flying around and then we were like, oh, this is whoa, whoa, whoa. And it just starts going so hard that you're, you're like, I can't handle any more of your plot. It's too much.

Yeah, it's, it's that, that was the moment because that's the story moment that unlocks like some more of the battle stages. Yeah. And, um, it became very clear that it's like, okay, it's very obvious to me that if there's a single like lock that says you have to do this, this specific event, that specific event will be fucking crazy. Yeah, uh, we, I'm at 50% with him and that is as far as I'm willing to go right now. I'm like, I have to fly around the rest of the roster and butter everyone's asses up

and get them nice and fucking, you know, uh, uh, ready and read and read because I cannot deal with the fucking haymakers coming from this dude's plot. And, and, um, when we went back to just like, Hey, let's go hang out with this talking cat. It was a, it was a nice little sigh. You gotta shoot those witches, man. I will take the breather that is like, Oh, quite little talking cat. Yeah.

Hey, what? Oh, wow. Look at all this food. You know, let's just go chill and, and not have our brains fucking rocked. I gotta get back to that. I haven't played it in like five, six days and like I'm, I'm worried. 13 Sentinels is absolutely just speeding to the top of many lists in my brain as we're going. Yeah.

And, uh, we'll see where it takes us, but, uh, with a bullet as they say, you know, it's, it's, it's holding ghost positions. Just, uh, don't, don't, don't drop that gray life. Um, but yes, all of that continues over at woolly versus on YouTube and woolly versus on twitch. Uh, all right. I think we can take a word from our sponsors and then let's do that. Check out what's going on this week. We've got a couple of things we want to sell you.

The first of which is food. We would like to eat food. We would like to tell you about a service where you can get food to your door. It is called DoorDash. It is a very, you might be able to, if you look carefully enough through the DoorDash menus, find something that'll sell you Yoki Soba Pan. You ma on Yoki Soba Pan. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Pond, if you want to. Sure. You might even find a hamburger. You might find a hamburger. Hamburger might be on the menu, dude. Oh man.

Okay. Like it's no secret that Japan's crushing it in the corner store department. Um, it's true. Yeah. And they've got all kinds of amazing things to offer that we don't have over here. You can walk in there and just be like, holy fuck, look at all the flavors. You know, um, we're light years behind. But hey, there are, you'd be surprised because on DoorDash, sometimes you can find

little shops that'll be like, yo, we'll deliver you some little treats, some little goodies, not necessarily a full on sit down restaurant, but little convenience as well. You know, um, and, uh, yeah, they're working with over 300,000 partners in the US, Puerto Rico, Canada, Australia, with all your local go-tos, all your favorite chains, your mom and pops, your big places, whatever you want to eat. DoorDash has got you covered and you need to eat the food. So here we are selling you the food. It's just that simple.

Um, and of course you got the safe delivery option, contactless. They simply show up, put the food down in front of your door, uh, and they give you a little heads up and be like, Hey, your food's here. Go eat it. Eat up. And if you don't get there in time, when you're walking up the stairs to get your food, you get a text message, which is a picture of your food. There you go.

There you go. And then, and then sometimes if you were playing something and you waited 10 minutes, you get the picture of your food and you see it and then you get out there and your food's gone and you're like, some motherfucker took this off my doorstep walking by. I can't believe it. So go get your food right away when it shows up because because misgrants, you know, I might take your food off your door. I knew a person who, uh, was like, Hey, yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna use door dash.

And then they didn't do, they didn't use door dash. You know what happened? They died. They died. They died. Their life ended. They perished, you know, so that's what happens. So listen, I'm not, I'm just, I don't think that's a real story.

I don't know. I'm just saying I heard, I heard, I heard that, you know, that was, that was, that was the end. So, Hey, door dash is great. And right now our listeners actually, I, I have a real story for you. I heard that somebody used a competing non door dash, uh, food service and received a text message that was your food hungry. And they responded, what? And then they got the message gone and then their order was canceled.

It's not what you want. I'll tell you what you want. You want $5 off and zero delivery fees on your first order of $15 or more. You can get that when you download the door dash app and enter the code castle. That's five bucks off and zero delivery fees on your first order. When you download the door dash app and the app store and enter the code castle. Uh, so yeah, don't forget code castle for five bucks off your first order with door dash. Thanks, door dash.

Thanks, door dash. This week, castle super beasts is sponsored by bomb us. Comfy ass socks. What more do you need? These are three words that tell you everything you need to know.

Not much. I use it like I use it probably if I don't use it every day. I use it every other day. Every other day. Yeah. I've been I've been using it a fuck ton. You simply you click the button. You're in another location.

It doesn't think you're in Canada anymore. And now I can watch what I'm what I'm otherwise not allowed to watch. I can check out clips that are, you know, whether it's YouTube or Netflix. You can see shows that, you know, again, just banned on this patch of dirt. But if I walked a little bit down south that way, it would be all good. Well, Express VPN is perfect. You know, you got all kinds of reasons you can you can get it going. You can get your your safe encryption on your data.

If you don't want weirdos getting their hands on your your data. And if you're using public Wi-Fi in a coffee shop, you goddamn use that VPN because you don't know who's packet sniffing. You don't know who's coming around and checking your stuff out. That's bad. You don't want them getting all up under your feet and sniffing your packets. Here's the other thing. A lot of VPNs out there.

Slow down your internet and make things awful. And then you kind of go like, oh, man, what's going on? Why am I taking a hit in my speed? And then you go, ah, it's because I had the thing on. And I'll get Express VPN. None of that works just as good, just as fine. No problems. Once you tap the button, it's just that simple.

Express VPN, like legitimately super often happy usage on both our parts, I can say. Right. I fucking love it. Yeah. And I'm checking right now to make sure that my claim is correct. I knew somebody who didn't use it. Made the mistake of deleting the app and what happened. No, actually what I can say, they didn't die.

No, what I can say is that one of the best things about Express VPN is that last October, they didn't get hacked. Unlike it's other really nice to not get hacked last October. That's a good thing. It's really nice that when you have a security service that it doesn't get hacked. That's a fantastic selling point. I agree. I agree with this.

So that's all there is to it. If you don't like the idea of tech companies exploiting your personal information, and if you want to get to watch what you want to watch on Netflix and check out all that otherwise. Honestly, the number one thing is somebody sends me a video from some American media website and everyone's like, haha, it's funny. And I go, I'm not allowed to watch. Exactly. That's literally what it comes down to is, oh, that's the number one use for me.

Yeah. I'm sitting up here in Canada being like, you know, there's a lot of media coming out of America that I want to check out right now, and I'm not allowed. Let me hit this button. Now I'm allowed. Ah, haha. Yes. So you can visit expressvpn.com slash superbeast right now, and you'll get three extra months

of ExpressVPN for free. That's expressvpn.com slash superbeast. To protect your data, go to expressvpn.com slash superbeast to learn more. Thank you, ExpressVPN. Thanks, ExpressVPN. Oh, this dog's got such a fat head. Squish his cheeks. All right.

So a lot of, a lot of stuff going on this week. A couple of things going on. Um, I would say it would be interesting to discuss this one right here. Sony has entered final negotiations in acquisition of country, crunchy roll. Well, we're not going to get Bethesda, so let's get anime, I guess. Do you think that would mean that things that would be like a Netflix animated series from a Sony title or Sony owned thing would instead go to crunchy roll exclusively instead? Yeah, maybe.

Possibly. Yeah. Sony is currently working on acquiring crunchy roll and who knows what this might mean, but for what it's worth, if you were not aware, crunchy roll is currently owned by AT&T, so whatever the fuck. People are like, oh no, I hope Sony doesn't ruin crunchy roll. More than AT&T? One, crunchy roll sucks ass, and two, AT&T is even worse than Sony.

So like, for my, well, maybe. For my JoJo watching and other show watching purposes whenever I was using it, I was fine. I was enjoying it. It was doing what it did, but yeah, obviously finding out about the whole subtitling thing where they don't pay their subtitles or enough and some of that shit was like, aw man, I thought crunchy roll was like fucking solid, you know what I mean? Like, it sucks to kind of catch that there's even controversy about this where, you know, otherwise you're just like, look, I'm more than willing to be like, yeah, I'll pay to watch

some good anime in the highest quality you can stream at me. Like, I'm fine. I have no problem doing that. I just, yeah. But then you catch this kind of weird shit and you're like, what the fuck, like, come on guys. You know, the best thing about crunchy roll was always like the poor quality of its subs. Like I would say, aw man, crunchy roll sucks, but at least it has horrible subs.

And with that changed, crunchy roll is even worse now. What tad bad subs? I really enjoyed when I heard about crunchy roll because it meant that I could read horrible subs whenever I wanted. Right, okay. All right. Okay. Yes.

That. But now it looks like they won't have horrible subs anymore. Second time, say I got it the second time. Okay. All right. All right. Nothing flies over my head. I would catch it.

Yeah. You know, have you ever tried watching anime on the Funimation website? I've, no. It's really weird because if you have a blocker on, then it's just raw. You can't see the subtitles. So then you take the blocker off and then the subtitles are there. But it has a couple of commercial breaks in them. And they're like, sometimes they're like, you know, like a gathering of four or so.

And it kind of just gives, I'm like, oh man, it feels like I'm watching television again for a moment. It's weird. I'm like, it's just a feeling I haven't had in a very long time. When I was like, yeah, like this long period of commercial break in the middle of watching a thing. And yeah, I was like, that's a, that's a feeling I haven't experienced in a long time. I, you know, then I just signed up and got rid of those commercials. So, you know, that's fine.

I don't like commercials. No, I signed up. I got, I got rid of them. But it was, it was definitely a moment of like, man, remember when something would go on break and then you'd have to like stop and think about what you're going to do for a couple minutes before it comes back. That was a feeling. What I remember more vividly than that was Bishop kicking his door, kicking the door down

into the X man meeting room and yelling assassin and shooting towards the camera. And then coming back from the commercial break for the future. And like so much media was built around commercial breaks that when you watch them decades later after the death of TV and the commercial drink break just fades out and then fades back in, it is, you get whiplash from a lot of the tone changes. Netflix has shows where like it just fades out and fades back in, you know, and that's what it is. But the way it's working on, in that Funimation stream is that it's just interrupting, excuse me, it's just interrupting whatever's happening.

So there is no pause for like drama or fade out. It's just absolutely interrupting at this point, you know, and it is what it is. But yeah, you know, in any case, it was just a little bit of a little bit of a like, oh, wow. Right, that stuff. I don't know what it means if when Sony acquires Crunchyroll. I don't know whether that changes anything at all. They're going to take all the boobies out. See, but someone was just saying that AT&T is known for censoring shit.

So does that even mean like, you know, if it was Crunchyroll as an indie independent anime joint with a bunch of people doing their thing as a bunch of just like otaku that are like building this thing from the ground up and now they're being acquired by a big business, that'd be one thing. But the fact that they're already owned by AT&T makes it much of a just like, eh, they're just trading owners. I have bad news for everyone out there. Unless the person making the thing you're watching is broke.

At some point, they're owned by a big horrible company. Minute Maid. Why does Minute Maid own anime? Like, why does the chain go up to fucking? Minute Maid sounds like anime. But it's actually a minute maid. When you got a point, you got a point. It's actually about a very tiny maid.

When you got a point, you got a point. Hey, Temtem is coming to PS5 early access in December. That's the thing on PS5 now? This is the real news. This is the real, like Temtem just casually drops a little trailer and goes, hey, Temtem's coming to PS5 early access in December. And I'm like, what? And I look it up and I go to see if I can find anywhere where Sony's officially discussing this.

And this is the only result I'm getting. Early access is a thing on PS5 now. That will be a thing. Okay, that's fine. I can't wait for bricked consoles. Oh boy. Oh boy. Yeah, there's going to have to be some sort of like,

like there's going to have to be some sort of like, yeah, like, okay, when you loaded up like Xbox in the games, they would almost boot in like a safe playground environment or if anything went awful or wrong. Yeah, they put a little playground and went like, anything goes wrong and we're just going to kick you the fuck out and you'll be back to your blades, not your blades, but whatever the HUD was.

You might need something like that in place, like some sort of PS5 safe mode for early access, because yeah, right, this shit could go horribly wrong. That being said, I mean, I do assume that like, we're going to get the, you're not getting the like, untested builds. You're getting shit that is like, a little more polished than you'd think,

because it's still rolling out on a console. What are we talking about? You see the people are fucking talking about how, what was it, is it Valhalla? Is it, is Watch Dogs on the new consoles that aren't out yet? Like reviewers are like, this thing actually bricked my Series X. God damn. And I saw other mentions that like Ubisoft games

were like putting PS5s into safe mode upon crash. And it's like, Jesus Christ. So here's, it's a launch console and you're going to be running into bullshit on retail games anyway that are finished and that went gold. Early access absolutely introduces elements of danger into the situation. And who knows if they're going to,

if we're going to see this become a big thing. Like I don't know if everyone's going to use it. Right now Temtem is exclusive PS5 early access and then multi-platform for final release. I don't know if Sony wants to have a whole lot of unfinished games. I don't know how they're going to like indicate. Sony, Sony puts garbage out on their fucking platform. Black Tiger.

Don't forget about Life of Black, damn it, damn it. I want to go for the whole title, but you beat me there. It's hard. And but don't forget the shovelware days of we, we wear too. Right. Like there's a little bit of that happening across the board. When you introduce early access, it definitely does something that like, you know,

no other console could do that PC has been able to do where like a game like Baldur's. Give you hot garbage faster. But like a game like Baldur's Gate three can get like people on it immediately and people are big excited for a hot new thing that is just, it's not ready yet. And it might not be ready for a while,

but it's still a reason for you to be like, oh shit, but I can go pick this up and play it and they're spending money right away. So and I assume too that like the whole thing where early access can help build up funds for a bigger release is also part of what they're doing. You know, so yeah, but they haven't really detailed it anywhere else outside of this, this temtem thing.

You know, so it might be something that is not a like offered to everybody type situation because if anyone's in early access now that's working on something that they could theoretically just port over and keep an early access over there. Steam doesn't give a fuck when you come out of early access. They really don't give a shit at all.

Whereas I feel like Sony would care a lot more about something sitting too long. That's what are they going to do? De-list it? No idea. You have no idea. No, that shit's going to languish in early access forever on that platform.

100%. There's going to be games that are going to come out and be big success. You're like, wow, that was cool. Like a Hades or a Darkest Dungeon or what have you. And then there's others that'll just languish in shit ass obscurity. Money being spent means companies are happy.

So, you know, people are buying to get into that early access therefore it's not like hurting them to get that sale. But again, it could become a fucking baron wasteland of trash very quickly. Also, they're going to have to do all kinds of like big warning signs with the fucking plain conductor guys being like, hey, this game is super not done. Person who doesn't use the internet, who is a parent

buying a game for their child in a cabin somewhere on horrible Wi-Fi. This is not a finished game. Please don't get mad when you play it. And then you lose your save because we wiped everything or other crazy shit goes down. You know, because the whole thing about consoles up to this point has been you buy the thing you put it in.

It's there. It's done. And just fast forward 12 months from now to angry people talking about buying early access games and not being aware. That's going to happen. Not being aware of the missing content. No amount of warning you can ever give to anyone will ever matter when the bad thing happens. Flight Marshall is interesting.

I didn't know that. You could be like you literally like you could write on something. Hey, this is poison. Don't drink it. And people will drink it and then be like, I can't believe that poison me. Well, how's your reason?

They're stupid. How's your refund policy? On Sony's on poison on poison. I mean, you probably, you know, I don't know. I'll buy a lot of poison if I can get my money back. Even though I read the label and I drank it. That's not going to bode well for you. Do you remember when they had to like hide tied pods in stores?

Did they during the challenge? And they changed the packaging on them to make it super hard for kids to open. I didn't suck. I didn't know that that stores actually had to respond. Wow. And I have to, I have to think. I don't know if this is like an immoral thought, but I'm like,

if you're like a teenager, you're like, I'm going to eat a tied pod to show everyone how cool I am. Spirit of Darwin. Is this where we're going? Are you summoning? Who are we to stop such a brave person? Are we summoning Charles right now? Is this, is this what's happening?

Yeah. Okay. You got any awards you want to hand out? Okay, saying I have awards to hand out sounds like I'm starting up like a jigsaw style like test system. No, you are not saying you are not orchestrating the undoing of these individuals. You are merely rewarding them upon completing what they would have done in their own lives anyway. Or non lives for that matter.

There's, you can't make the poison icon on a, on an item big enough. You know how when you were younger, I assume an adult told you to be careful around antifreeze because antifreeze is insanely poisonous, but tastes sweet. So dumbasses will drink it and die, right? And on antifreeze, there's big logo shit all over it. This is death poison idiot, right? That wasn't good enough. It had, they had to put like bitterant in it.

So now it, and now we have been robbed of our delicious, delicious antifreeze occasional sips because some people are too stupid to not drink a whole gulp. Yep. So hard cut to Pat showing up at the crime scene and pinning an award or placing a metal gingerly on a pile of meat and being like, there you go right there. There you go, right there. You show up to the crime scene and it's a guy whose whole lower body is just a bloody shit mess and next to him is just a high powered HVAC.

And you're like, put the metal on him, boys. There you go. There's the whitest kids you know skit about that, but the dick sucking vacuum. It's a good skit. Um, what else we got going on? Yep. PS5 sneak early access feature stealth announced through Temtem. Also, no more heroes, big everything this week all of a sudden.

That's cool, man. Trailer for three drops shows off some stuff. And then, hey, look, one and two, bam, there it is. Sneak attack. It makes sense now that narratively Sylvia is explaining in the trailer that it's like, hey, remember when Travis became like number one in town and then number one. Twice in the fucking global rankings. So it's like, what else are you going to do?

What about the universe, motherfucker? Yeah. Okay. That makes sense. There you go. If they want to do four, they just do dimensions. Yep. And we're seeing more of those, uh, the buddy aliens, except now as the, as the,

the villains showing off against him. So cool for that. And, um, Atkins downs, getting his lines in, getting his jollies off. I fucking love Robert Atkins downs. This fucking portrayal of Travis is so perfect. It's, it is, it fuck head. It's a particular flavor of loser that I don't think we had depicted up until that point. So there's a, uh, incredible Fox K tweet.

At least I think it was Fox K who pointed out that nothing exemplifies Travis's personality better than the fact that most of his t-shirts are are ones that he finds out of the dumpster. He finds them in the dumpster and he just puts them on. See, like there's like, you know, there's different, like there's types in fiction. When you see like someone's like a big old nerd of some kind, there will you, there will usually be like a, a set way where they kind of fall into the, um, I don't know, almost like a fast times at, at fast times at Ridgemont High kind of archetype of like, okay, you're a geek.

You got the glasses. You're a jock. You're this, you're that, whatever the case is. And then we've seen, you know, obviously things have gotten slightly more complex, but like, I just like how Travis is just, he's like, he thinks he's cool. He's clearly a humongous dork. He dresses in such a way that like implies he wants to be like a fawns like, you know, charismatic individual.

He's got the fucking hair up. He's, he's like an outsider while he's also simultaneously into anime. He thinks he's fucking pony boy. He thinks he's pony boy. He's into anime. He's not afraid of it. He's also, he's into like trash anime too. Like it's garbage.

We could also pinpoint the moment he stopped being a virgin. You know what I mean? Like he just, uh, he's just, just fucking weirdo. Oh God. One of these animals is just blasting ass at me. Stop it. Stop it, both of you. Get hotboxed.

It sucks, dude. Yeah. Um, I'm running a zoo and it's smelly. Yeah. No, that's, that's it. It's, it's just, uh, like, like Dante is also kind of a dork, but he succeeds in a well Travis still succeeds. What is it there?

There's a difference, I guess, because it's like Dante's not outright into some like anime bullshit or into some like fucking hobby that is like, wait, you're into what? You know, he loves his pizza. He loves his ice cream. Dante is into eating pizza when there's lights and eating ice cream when the power is out. Yeah. But like he is, he is still like dumb surfer interests at heart. Yeah.

You know, he's not, he's not nerding out on exclusives of any particular thing or whatever the case may be. Um, whereas like Travis is just this fucking dweeb through and through. God bless. Um, yeah. So that, that was a little pseudo hour we got earlier this week. Um, fucking Spiderman into the spider versus suit costume trailer. Holy fuck is that cool.

And that's cool. I like, I'm absolutely like, I see that and I go, man, I wish you could see AAA taking chances in this kind of way more often sometimes, but what they did was they basically have you playing as the into the spider versus version of Miles Morales in the new PS5 Spiderman game. And he actually has a 24 frame per second, uh, like animation consistency over the 60 frame per second world. Now what they need to do is somebody needs to take a video of that and then motion interpolate it, uh, up to 60 so that he blobs all over the place so that it looks like complete goddamn shit.

You know, someone is going to not only do that because kids have access to that interpolation tech these days, but they're going to throw some sick ass music over it as well. And by sick ass music, I mean something terrible, unless it's what's up danger, then that's awesome. But that song might already be in the game if they're doing their fucking homework. Yeah, maybe. Go, go, go. Yeah, go, go fucking pay black caviar and put that song in the game officially and then

we'll never be able to play it because, you know, this costume just kind of makes me bummed out because I'm like, could we just get a into the spider game? Uh, you know, that's, that's fine. I could, I like, I like what we're getting. I'm happy with what we're getting. That's cool. But yeah, into the spider versus content is obviously like super rad now that, you know, we like know and like the thing.

Um, there's nothing to stop them from, you know, dropping cameos from other characters or other things from that world. But for now, the fact that the frame rate is different is just like a really cool touch. They add it to it. Um, and, uh, yeah, and he's doing the poses like the hands behind the head as he's swinging through the air and stuff. And I'm just like, damn, nice fucking attention to detail. That's really cool.

Uh, looks fun. Looks really fun. I wonder how long that game is going to be. Probably a little bit shorter than the original. It's, I hope it's like, I hope it's bigger than a DLC because that'd be really, oh, I imagine it will be, but I imagine it'll be shorter than the main campaign of regular spider man.

And, oh yeah, that thing was huge. And then they're going to drop some DLC afterwards. So, you know, you play a little, whatever campaign and then here's another expansion and here's another expansion. You know, um, so we saw the trailer for that, uh, man, this launch week of the new consoles is going to be fucking ridiculous, man. It's going to be hot. Like it's going to be crazy.

Cyberpunk moved, but it's like, we got desks. We got spoter man. We got, there's another one I forget. Whatever. We got bug snacks. Bug snacks is coming out. Not much to say about like, it's like, okay, cyberpunk moved. They chose yellow.

That was probably not the best color they could go with. That was very funny. Maybe don't do that. Everybody made fun of them. You know, Marxist showed off that they're actually a bunch of pussies and stop making fun of them. And then there's that. And then a bunch of people started getting

unreasonably fucking awful in the comments. I don't understand why they're so upset about this delay because this delay is 21 time in 21 days. They delayed it like, uh, like a year now. Yeah. No, you're not talking to like, you're not talking to reasonable people. You're talking to people that are unreasonable and they're just barking out the dumbest grossest shit.

Like I don't care what state your devs are in. Fucking get it out and just all kinds of just like, all right. You can just literally just go away forever. Your opinions are fucking null. Over the over the thing. And, um, obviously equally, uh, uh, you know, you get, you get on the other side of things of just like, uh, hey, yeah, we're going to announce this delay and people on the team are not even going to know about it until it hits the fucking.

So it's like, and I'm like this so that, so that the Twitter account is literally telling people like hours for the delay. No more delays. They offer work buddy. Don't worry. And then they find out the same time the press does, right? And the public does. And it's like, okay, you know how CD Projekt has had a lot of good will for the Witcher,

for being just company that's just out there far away from North America, doing whatever they want to do. We don't really care. And they're just very progressive views on piracy. And just, yeah. And they, you know what I mean? And they've just been out there kind of being like, wow, look at that. You can think about them as like they're doing the cool thing.

Well, the moment you pull a move where you're doing the press release that your employees are finding out at the same time as the public, you're just another AAA. Like you're, you fall right into that category. I don't give a fuck. PC Gamer did this incredible interview where they interviewed the director of Cyberpunk about crunch and he's like, oh no, we're not crunching at all. No, he said it's not that bad is what he said.

It's not that bad. And then he had to apologize to them afterwards for saying it wasn't that bad. It's like, why would you ever, ever, ever for something like that, go to the person in charge? Right? Like what are you fucking stupid? So, you know, you got this actually, we give everybody muffins in the morning and we get free massages at the end of the day.

It's true. So you get that kind of trash happening up top, which, you know, again, firmly in my mind, categorizes you as good job. You're now EA Activision and every, and every other fucking, you know, the company that's just, you know, so welcome to the club. And then on the underside of that, you got people being just fucking trash to, in response to the delay and like, you know, the fucking death threats and all that garbage or whatever.

And you're just like, okay, like, Oh, what are you going to threaten these people with? They already live in Poland. Oh, bam. But damn, son, wow. Take that owned. But, um, yeah, you just like, it must be really shit to be a developer on Cyberpunk 2077 right now.

Oh yeah, you get crunched, you get crunched to piss. And then when it gets delayed, people fucking like threaten you. And sheer off sick. And sheer on your crunching, you know. So, um, yeah, that's a, that's a horrible shit sandwich. And, uh, full credit, uh, check out the, uh, Jimquisition's new video on it, where he basically breaks that down for you. And like, uh, uh, you know,

spells out the history of what's going on from that, from both sides there. And it's like, yeah, this is the basic, the basic gist that I can gather is that they waste too much time in pre-production and then go, oh shit, we got to ship it to me. It's on deck. This was always an insanely ambitious project. And the, like that thought continued to further cement itself. The more years from announcement, we were hearing nothing.

Um, I assume that what we're getting is a version that is still probably only a fraction of what they actually wanted to accomplish on their design document. Probably only like two years old. You know, something they had in their actual, like early ass design, uh, builds or, or, or design decisions were getting a percentage of what they were probably aiming for. And they were getting something that, you know, the, the people that, uh, at the studio that say, hey, we can't just be pie in the sky forever, release a fucking product, decided to push. Uh, uh, there's a lot of pie in the sky stuff going on in that.

I mean, they put out that video that showed off all those features and then had to quietly announce that almost every feature they had shown off in one of the gameplay demos got cut. And everything we're seeing in these teasers trailers and expanded looks are still showing you tons of world building, right? Tons of advertising of, of different types of people, different classes and, uh, and augments and mods and all kinds of lifestyles that you're probably not going to get to live in this world. You know, you're not going to get to live in the shoes of all these crazy different, uh,

uh, uh, randoms they're showing you, you know, in, in the marketing for this. But, um, when that comes out, I hope that what they have is still at the end, even if it's a slice of what they wanted, a fun video game, because the absolute, the absolute worst thing I can possibly imagine is for this shit sandwich to then end up with a fucking shit product. So, uh, to end the story off, super butter buns. Uh, super butter buns brought out a really fantastic point when the cyberpunk delay happened. And I had forgotten about this completely.

Do you remember Fallout four? Remember hearing about it? So that game wasn't great. And in fact, it was quite flawed, right? I remember, but it was still a decent, decent enough game. Okay. From the outside, it sounded abysmal because it was not New Vegas. This is what I kind of, yeah.

Well, I mean, that's always the thing, but this is, this is, this is what it was all right energy from the stands was that, right? But in fact, if I would say it was deeply disappointing even, right? However, what cut the legs out of people going, Hey, this game's not the best, right? Or Hey, this game's actually kind of disappointing or bad or whatever. It's a file for God announced and then came out three months later. So it wasn't sitting on seven years of expectations like cyberpunk is. Right.

Okay. If cyberpunk came out and was below expectations, anything other than a slam dunk, it will be a massive disaster, right? If it's a nine, that will be a disaster. You know, like CD Projekt needs this to be a slam dunk as well. It's quite clear that this is all the eggs in the basket. Um, from what I can see, from what I can tell, like it's not going to be a trash fire. It's not going to be okay.

It'll probably definitely be, Hey, that's good. But like where it goes between the range of good to holy fuck is what remains to be seen. I was, you remember no man's sky? I was, I was imagine that times five. I, I don't know. Like I haven't seen anything that makes me like, Oh boy, worried. Oh my God. But I've seen like, Okay, that's a bit more.

I've talked to a couple people. I've gotten some work. I've got say, I've gotten some feedback too. I've gotten some free. I've, yeah. And it's, which was not exciting to hear. It makes me think, uh, that like what from at least what I'm hearing. It's like, this might, uh, land and be, Hey, that's pretty good.

But maybe that's it. The big takeaway that I, I took, that when I spoke to some person about cyberpunk 2077 was I can't believe it's going to come out when they say it's going to come out because this shit needs a ton of work. And that was a little while ago. Yep. That was a while ago as we might have even spoken to the same person. But, um, we'll see.

We'll see. But this is a, a fucking, that being said, man, when I saw the delay was 21 days. I went on Twitter is like, man, somebody fucked up and failed submission. That's all I can see now. Well, the, every, every time a game fails and goes, gets pushed back two weeks. It's what it always sounds like. It's what it always sounds like. And, you know, sure enough, they, um, they came out and said that, uh,

the, yeah, we're doing whatever seven skews or, you know, whatever the thing is, which, uh, is for a lot of people, if you're hearing that, you're going like, oh my god, six skews or seven skews, holy shit. But it's like, no, that's, that's a thing. Like it's not common, but it is, it happens regularly with big releases for studios. You will see, um, you know, sometimes 12 skew releases coming out for certain games. So how many different phones are you hitting? Yeah.

So that's not completely unheard of, but it is definitely like, you know, that's a workload. They've got their work cut out ahead of them. What, what happens in, uh, those 21 days sometimes is someone will be like, oh fuck, I have a chance to polish that thing. I want it to polish, but didn't have a shot at, um, and there's going to be a post release day one patch. Like for sure. I literally needed one extra day to fix this goddamn UI bug that's like an F class bug

that no one cares about, but me. Um, and there might, you know, they might go back into that database and be like, here are the top 10 will not fix WNF bugs and we're going to open these up. If you fix it, you're fired. No, we're going to open these up and the person in charge of, uh, a producer will look at them and go, how much time will each of these take? You give me an assessment and then I go, all right, do seven, five and 10 and relock the rest, you know, or whatever the case is.

Um, but we'll see. This is all, do you know what I want to have a big old speculation? I want to get one, one hour before the game goes live and for them to be like, you know, this could really use another six months in the oven. Huh. What if they pulled the Baldur's Gate? What if they early accessed? Yeah, they're not going to, you can't do that after seven years.

No, you can't. You definitely know you can't. What, what, what faith is there that it will ever get? And it would like finish. And if it ends up being like wolf, wolf, arf, arf, rough, um, that goodwill is also burnt. They, they made the Witcher though, right? That's the, that's the, that's the, that's the, that's the, that's the, that's the fucking quotations I'm fucking putting up on that.

Witcher one released so fucked up and Witcher one enhanced edition is so fucked up. Over the years, if that's always been, I mean like shit, like, uh, uh, it pretty much started with, I think with you, you know, uh, talking about like, oh man, Witcher is great. CD Projekt fucking crushing it, you know, what a good ass game. And like it was just nonstop positive associations. You know, uh, the first time I ever talked about it, I think it was on the podcast a million years ago. I'm not sure or might have just been in private, but it's like, I played through

Witcher one, I got on a steam sale for like $5 and I beat it. I'm like, what a great game. That is a fucked up game for crazy people. I can't recommend it to literally anyone. You have a lot of fun, but you have to fight it the whole time. You have a lot of fun. You have to fight it every single second. And also you have a couple of moments of legitimate like fucking misery.

I have always, always use the term a fucked up grand game for crazy people for Witcher one, Witcher two is a year is a pretty good Euro jank game. And Witcher three is like a, like a, like, man, that's a good one. That's, Hey, people will be talking about that one for a while. So when cyberpunk got announced, everybody's like, Oh, that's going to be the trajectory, right? So cyberpunk's got to be whoa, right? But it's like, no, remember this team has made a bunch of fucking busted shit.

A bunch of busted shit. Word to the wise, avoid yellow on your, on your posts, or at least that shady yellow, right? Yeah, it's like a lemon yellow, big old alarming piss yellow, like, like asparagus piss yellow. Deep. Did you watch the second gameplay trailer of Demon's Souls? I did. Holy, I also read every interview I could find.

Fuck that game looks incredible. The trailer once again, do you see now what I was talking about? Like you're worried that the next real from software game is going to look like stupid shit? I mean, you click play on the trailer and it drops a little like a Sony logo on you. That's Marvel style with the Demon's Souls shit in there because they're doing the fucking thing. It's like, Hey, look, it's the cross circle triangle with the demons in them. Look, it's our, it's we built it.

Remember our game? You're like, yeah, Sony. Okay. And then you get your blue point logo and then you get five minutes of gameplay in 1080 60. And it's fucking includes two bosses. And it's in 4k, actually. And it's fucking glorious. It's so good.

Man. And then it drops a name and you die is on the second boss. And then you fucking, you drop, you drop the title and you go, that's your, that's it. And it's it's exactly what anybody who plays this wants to see. Yeah, it was, I read, so I read everything and the way that they talk about it is that like the game is literally like, they just tore all the old graphics off and stapled the new graphics on kind of thing. They're like, Oh, have you changed any of the bosses?

Like, no, the bosses are using the same line for line AI. Like they are the same. The audio, the audio lines of dialogue are not re-recorded. Oh, they probably are. Did they? Okay, the behavior, right? But there are changes. There are actual changes.

Not just visual stuff. They, they made it so that healing grass weighs more. So I don't know if you remember when you went through desks, but you get to that point where you're walking into the final series of enemies was like, I'm carrying 1038 full heals. Mm hmm. Right? It's like, okay, that, that was probably, that was a little bit of oversight. That was probably a little bit.

They've, they've been given the okay to like, quote unquote, fix things. Yeah. World tendencies back, which is crazy, but they said they changed the interface on it so that there's that. And they also added some new items as well. Item weight is still there. Yeah, I don't know what this is all about. Yeah, yeah.

Um, uh, they even made it so that, so it has a new camera. It's a little offset, but you can change the camera back to the old one. Was that a different camera? Yeah. So the original camera in Demon's Souls is like, and most of the Souls games is like dead center of the screen. Whereas this one's a little bit offset to the character's right. That is a new ism.

That, uh, RE four kind of brought in, right? That little over the shoulder peak. Yeah, man. Um, they described that they changed it because when they were working on it, like the camera kept getting caught in the environment. Omni directional rolling. Oh yeah. That's a big difference.

You now roll in eight directions instead of instead of four, which you forget that Dark Souls one and Demon's Souls one to Demon's Souls one. Demon's Souls had, uh, uh, four directional rolling. But when you go back to them, it sucks. Yeah. So the order I played it in is the one where it was the pain was probably the most felt because it's reverse progression order and, and encumbering features re added as you go

backwards in time. Um, but, uh, yeah. The, uh, the other piece of news that came out with that, I suppose was that, you know, we talked about the whole PS five interface features. And so one of the things is they're going to have hundreds of little recorded tips for moments of game that you can like pull up on the PS five interface if need be. Um, which, uh, I understood some, I saw some folks saying like, fuck that, you know, like whatever should be hard, shouldn't have that, but it is true.

It's too late. The wikis are all, they all exist. One that all that information does exist and people are going to, again, you're just going to browse the internet for that info anyway. So again, this is them putting a feature in that is basically just like, Hey, we want to keep you in the system as opposed to going elsewhere for it. Um, and then the second thing is let the black phantom edition of the game did come with a strategy guide back on PS three.

Yep. It did. So, man, you want to hear something crazy about demon souls that we're going to see. Demon souls was the first of out of all these. And it was like, it's by far the most obtuse, right? How do you upgrade your weapon alone is like a confusing labyrinthine process, right? Um, but if you go back to demon souls and know how to upgrade your weapons, for example, oh my God, that game is a joke compared to all the ones that came afterwards.

Like the, the, the demons, the difficulty discussion happened with dark souls for a reason because demon souls is hilariously easy after you go through all the others. And now I have to go because this dog is going to pee on me. If I don't be right back. So we're going to be right back. How do I, how do I, uh, yes. I've returned dogless as it is his bedtime anyway. Nightcasting is weird.

My body doesn't know. Yeah, my body's just a little confused as all. Um, yeah. Now, you know, who else was a little confused? I mean, that could be a lot of things. It's kind of open. Um, Terry Bogart was a little confused this week. Oh yeah.

Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Why did, uh, why did that bike fall over? Yeah, that's what caused his bike to fall over. Let's talk about what really matters here. I don't see anything in the way.

Terry not know how to ride a motorcycle. Is there a banana peel on the ground? What, what's making the bike just up and fucking at him as if it were like a horse just flopping all over and he eats a, eat shit for no reason and it's not like, oh, he wasn't paying attention and he hit something. Nothing was in his way, but the bike fell over. What happened? And then the bike like jumped up in the air and like kind of elbow dropped him.

I think that's the real, that's the real question. That's the real mystery here. You know, not much to say about slapping your sister-in-law's ass. Don't do it. Wait, are they married? I mean, I fucking hope so. Like she does the little walking baby gag 10 years ago, more 20 years ago. At this point, just fucking-

Isn't Kula like a high school student? K-dash clone of, I don't know. I mean, they're, I think they're- How? I don't know. I don't- K-dash, Kula, and Whip. How old are they? 14.

18. Ter- 18 in days of memories, but in the KOF series, she's 14. Says 18 right here, top of a Google search. Hey, listen. SNK is aware of and deeply sorry about the ad. Well, that game came out in 2000, so it's fine. Oh my God.

SNK is aware of and deeply sorry about the ad that somehow made it out there and advertised not core values, as we would say, some very non-core values on behalf of Smash Brothers character, Terry Bogard. Oh, oh my God, no. Oh, no. See, you have to get taken out because he's no longer a good boy or girl. I'm just saying, sometimes when you decide to write a news headline for your outlet, you can choose to write the accurate headline or you can just sniff up that sensationalism

and be like, Smash Brothers character Terry Bogard grabs ass in new ad for SNK All-Star. And you're just like, man, you can't even give Fatal Fury a half shout. Like, you need to fucking dunk it as hard. You need to go tattling on Nintendo. You got to go, hey, Sakurai, did you see what happened with your boy? Talk to your boy, Sakurai. No, KOF All-Star did one of those stupid ads that you see. And they're the most obnoxious, annoying things ever.

And we've laughed in the past about how weird some of them get because mobile game ads. That's how King of Fighters works, man. Mobile game ads seem to be based on like frustrating you into clicking. You know, I guess if it's like we're showing this to anybody who probably some kids, probably someone who's just whatever, like just cow clicking. And you see some shit where it's like, OK, here is like a demo of video of a game being played very, very poorly. And it shows a guy going slowly into some spikes and, oh no, only you can save him.

Oh god, he's getting hit by the spikes. And then there's another one where it's just like the zombies are invading and they look like they're an amazing, photorealistic 4k. And then let's zoom in on this zombie hunter's ass jiggle as she fires her shots. And you know, just fucking dreck where they're just like, we're just lying about what you're about to click on here, by the way. There's no regulation or anything to tell them, hey, you can't lie about that game. Ads are they just hit different, man.

They're currently the Wild West. And yes, they are built different is how I describe it. It's it's fucking absolute. No rules, no holes barred. Do what you want right now. Promise if they click, they will get money. And then just end up sticking them with the shit game. It doesn't matter what you say or do.

So for whatever that means, KOF All-Star is the mobile game they've been pushing for a while now. And there's been some funny ass ads for that thing. Couple of friends I have of, you know, couple of friends have shown up in those ads. A couple of familiar faces have been like, yeah, KOF All-Star. But you know, you whatever you want to keep it making money. And then so whatever the team is that is marketing this has nothing to do with actual SNK proper, just takes the brand and goes, all right, people who make mobile game ads. Here you go.

It's a bunch of King of Fighters characters figure something out, get people to buy this game. So they do what they do best and they render out a fucking Oscar worthy 15 seconds. I laughed. I cried. I don't know about you. I fucking experienced highs and lows learning about the struggle of Terry Bogard. The scene opens with Mai Shiranui, Blue Mary and Kula Diamond sitting at a outdoor stand

for like a sushi stand kind of thing. And Terry Bogard revs up that motorcycle he's famously known for and goes, hey, come on, come out. And drives slowly by and in very, very like detailed animation, triple slaps all those asses as he drives by. The jiggle is intact. Hey, come on, come on. Pat, Pat, Pat, and keeps going and then drives and then we they all go, what, huh? And look over and see Terry driving by to get away.

But oh, no, the bike shits up on him and falls over. It attacks him and then he falls on his ass and he looks stupid. And then the ladies get up and they go, oh, we're going to show him. And then they gingerly walk over and surround him like now you're going to get it. Mr. It looks like the start to a pornography and he's all like, oh, no, shit. And then it goes, hey, KOF All-Star, it has something to do with what you just watched. Click the fucking thing.

Did you click the thing? Click the fucking thing already. What are you fucking doing? What are you fucking doing? How dare you not click? Lily's garden ad. Which one's that? It's the one where Lily's like a farm girl with like short hair.

She takes a pregnancy test and oh, no, she's pregnant. So she runs over to her douche, bro, husband, guy, fucking reading newspaper. And then like shows it to him and then it's it hard cuts. To him on a scooter, just like driving as fast as he can into the sunset. And then it hard cuts to her on the porch, just bawling her eyes out. And then she looks up and smiles and goes, hey, and like takes one of the lines off the pregnancy test because she's not actually pregnant. And then the ad for the logo for the game, Lily's garden play now comes in.

Yep. What is what the hell is that? Yep. Yep. Um, you ever see that one for like, I don't know, but it's some sort of like, uh, like ancient Chinese dynasty themed game. Oh, yeah. Are you level up your wife?

There's like a ton of them and they're all like either leveling up your wife and making her go from plain Jane into, um, you know, Empress, Empress of the castle. Um, and then I do believe the one that I saw, uh, was, uh-oh, this baby came out way too dark. And that's a problem. That's, that's not, daddy doesn't want to see that. Uh-oh, click here to solve the problem. Um, we fixed it. Good daughter now.

Mobile game ads are a fucking trip as, as, as we started our thesis statement here. Um, SNK getting caught in the crossfire here. I mean, on the one hand, like approve your shit and keep an eye on it. On the other hand, it's like getting into the fucking crack game and then being like, oh no shit, we didn't mean for the crack to get into the hands of the kids though. So, you know, those mafia city ads, the one everybody knows about. Hmm. Probably the, the, it's the best example of the thing that most people

aren't even aware of about the mobile ads is that when they have like a hot game, they will make so many of them. There's a video on YouTube that I just bound, which is the 2019 mafia city ads. And it's almost an hour long. Of these like 15 second ads. There are so many. The crux again is someone sits, someone sits down at a computer and says like, what's the most weird, shocking, upsetting, or otherwise irksome thing I can show you in 10

seconds. And then they find it and then it's like, okay, now take that and somehow use a character from one of our games and then do that or just not. Or just have it be Goku. Well, yes, like a bunch of the times it really is just like, oh yeah, no, that's just Goku. But like there's these two, like this game fucking like home scapes and garden scapes with this bald guy. And it's like, what the fuck genre is this thing? Because the 18 ads you've been forced to watch for this game show it to be a platformer,

a side scrolling puzzle game, a military tactical game, like the cap, like nothing makes consistent sense in any of the ads for it. So my favorite ones are the ones that like the ad is like looks like goddamn deep down. And then it's like a like a clicker with like the shittiest sprites in the world. Great, I love it. Um, love it. Anyway, I'm just I'm just happy to say that now there is a new existing canon Terry Bogard in the lore that might have his own reality.

He might have his own dimension, but if they ever had to have forever Terry where they gather all the Terry's, if they ever had to have a, you know, your sexual harasser Terry, he's there. He's locked in. He's canon. He's showing up. You can't pretend he doesn't animates way worse than the other Terry's for some reason. If you had to unite, you could unite all the spider man's. You can, you dig up everyone, including hostess pies, spider man, then yeah,

big old creep, oh creep bag Terry with the shit motorcycle absolutely exists. That's great. Did you know that after the first ass slap, which is quarter circle back half circle forward, you've got to do a quarter circle for every subsequent one like SVC chaos. I didn't know that. Usually all three come out like boom, boom, boom, but only for this unique circumstance. There's extra inputs. That's terrible.

What else we got in the news? Terrible. You see Remerai put up a video about little big adventure to know what happened. He put up a video about how much he likes little big adventure to. I didn't see it. It's fucking awesome. That game's great. Also, Remerai has a great voice.

I don't know what his accent is, but he sounds cool. Uh, I will check that out when I get a chance to. After this, I suppose I also feel stupid because, uh, return to cash. What was it called? Return to castle super beast escape from castles. Yeah. Return to castle super bees. What was it?

The castle super beast game. Yeah, it was based off of little big adventure to the mystery of castle super. Like that's why it looks like that and why it controls that way. Okay. And I feel silly because I'm one of the only people I know in my life that have ever played a little big adventure to I've never seen another person say that game's name out loud other than Remerai. So I'm glad to see somebody appreciate it.

I was just getting vibes of like alone in the dark. A little big adventure to was totally made by, uh, the, some of the people who made alone in the dark. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Okay. Well, there was, um, some cool, some, some announcements for some projects. So like, uh, uh, uh, Move it along. There's two things.

Uh, Netflix announced one pacific rim, the black. Not that one. Not that one. John is doing fine over there. Thank you very much. The other one. Uh, actually, uh, if you want it to be as accurate as possible, technically speaking, it would be, uh, pacific rim, the black, because it takes place in Australia.

You see, no, so it's, uh, you just do like a Kiwi accent. Uh, yeah, actually. Because Kiwis always just sound like Australians, but like higher pitched, which makes sense as they are higher on the map. True. That's how that happens. Long ago, humanity defeated the kaiju. Now they're evacuating Australia in 2021.

Join a pair of siblings and their battered, long abandoned Jager as they battle across a continent of danger in pacific rim, the black. I have to say that synopsis literally sounds like there are no kaiju. And it's literally, we need a giant robot to escape from regular ass Australia. Because it says kaiju. Yeah. So what's, what, what should be interesting to follow is, uh, this is going to take place while after the movies, right?

We're jumping forward in time. So like, uh, yeah, what, what became of everything that, that we saw. Well, let's find out. I'm surprised that they, well, then again, it's like, if nothing else is happening with the franchise, I'm sure they don't mind like being like, look, you guys making a part three. No, all right. Can we just fucking, you know, do some shit?

Can we just jump this along and then it's like, yeah, sure. You know what, you know what? Okay. So all right, here's the, here's the one liner climax of this, of this. The main characters are fighting in their robot and there's another robot and they're near a volcano. Does Australia have volcanoes? Let's just say there's a volcano.

I don't know if Australia has a volcano, but let's just say they got to one and Kaiju comes out of the, of the ocean, right? And it's a big monster and they beat on it for a bit, right? And they're fighting it plow. And then they beat it up and it like, you know, it sheds its skin and it looks like a big, like, like lobster, like a horrible lobster monster. And, uh, and then one of them is like grappling with it. And then the second one goes, oh, do you need another shrimp on the Barbie?

And they drop, kick it into the volcano. And that's, and then it just cuts to black. And that's the end of the movie. Can we hard cut to one of the main characters chugging a fosters? Mm-hmm. It's Australian for beer. Good. It's good.

I could see a ridiculous Kaiju design where someone just kind of draws some tentacles and evil faces on a blooming onion. I could see it. No, you don't want, no, I have a better one. Get the boomerang joke out and then let's move on. No, no, no, come on. Come on. What do you, what do you take me for?

So first of all, the Kaiju has to be a big ol' emu, right? And then they're, they're like losing against it. And then there's a baby Kaiju, like a smaller Kaiju, right? And it's running around with like a baseball bat. And then the, the mom Kaiju yells at it and says, oh, I put that down, or, and then it doesn't. And then it swings at one of the kids and then the Yeager goes up to it and just slaps the baby Kaiju. And then all the characters come out. They're like, oh, you can't, you can't step more, more, more Kaiju, baby.

You can go, just being a little bitch there. And then it's, then it's instead of Kaiju, the, what do you call it, the black? It becomes Kaiju, the slap, the slap. Aye, nah. Yeah. And then the Kaiju can put the little baby Kaiju in the little Joey pouch in front. Yeah. There you go.

All right. Lovely. You did it. This is going to sound weird. I love that Australia is a real place. Thank you, Australia. No word on whether or not Del Toro is involved. Doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere, uh, as I look through the official announcements.

So, uh, not much to say for now, but apparently the studio behind Beastars is animating. Yeah. So we'll see. That's cool. Dude, I know people who finished reading Beastars and they are like not happy with the way Beastars word ball drop. Apparently that, apparently that stuff just goes like sideways and bad. Oh no.

At a certain point. Oh no. That's, that's a bummer. I was hearing fucking glowing reviews all the way through. That sucks. Oh, of the show. Yeah. Damn.

Oh, of the manga specifically. Okay. Well, I mean, they're going to catch up. Because the manga is done. They're going to catch up at some point, right? All right. Well, unless they start changing shit, you're headed for the same cliff, aren't you? Unless they start changing shit.

Yeah. Well, have Beastars set in Australia. Speaking of the black. Yes. Okay. The black samurai. Yeah. LaShon Thomas, aka creator of God, it just slipped my goddamn brain.

Cannonbusters. This is good. This is really good. The cannonbusters guy, aka Sanford Kelly's brother. Yeah. Does he also throw tantrums when he doesn't get his way? Uh, I don't know if he picks top tiers, but I do believe he's from the same school of thought. LaShon Thomas is a got a show also coming to Netflix about Yasuke.

Voiced by LaKeith Stanfield arrives next year. Cool. And there's some key art showing Yasuke and Nobu Naga hanging out doing the thing. It's one of those stories we've, I've mentioned it more than a couple times over the last couple years where it's like, here's a really obvious tale ready to be told with this character that's super real. Here's a photo. You got some cool shit you can do.

Neo did some shit with that. And then Chadwick Boseman was supposed to do something with that, but unfortunately, you know, that that is not going to happen. So here comes this. So we'll find out how this Yasuke rolls and whether or not he can hold a candle to the one from Neo with the bear, with the bear stand. Man, that's cool, man. Yeah.

Thanks, Boomin' Hour. I just like, I'm kind of guffawed at like the fact that Yasuke has not been a thing that has been used in, you know, storytelling or like anime up to this point. Besides Neo that I can think of. That nobody knows about. And you look at world history and you're like, wait, this happened then? That's weird. Huh?

What was I reading about? There was a God, what was it? Like there's a couple of stories that I've that I that I saw that were on dam. I think it's like, damn, that's interesting or next fucking level on on Reddit where there was like, it's like, how is there no movie of this story of like, you know what it is? I've seen like maybe like five or so different posts of like, here is some dude that was a crazy badass during World War Two and did some unbelievable shit that there's no story book or movie about, but you can go read the wiki on it and you're just like, holy fuck, like do that.

Go tell that story. Or like the slave that like escaped the south and came back and like led others to freedom and then like became a congressman and like some, some crazy like, like you're just like, whoa, wait, he did what? Like, like so much in like the span of your life that just seems like almost impossible. You're just like, yeah, no, absolutely tell that story. Mad lads, absolute mad lads. Yes, that's another one.

Straight up Dejango on chain shit. You know, there's tons of stories like that. But yeah, for a while, hearing about and reading about Yasuke and being like, how is this, is this, this is super real. And they're like, yeah, this actually happened. And we have, this is what he wore. This is his armor. Here's a fucking picture of it.

And here's a telling of what happened when, uh, you know, he did just say Dejango guy. I said Dejango. Yes. Dejango, you son of a bitch. Exactly. Yes, what's the problem? Just like Patera Dactyl. Exactly.

Dejango, that's, that's it. So that's how you say it. Um, and the, the, you hear the story about the, uh, fucking crowd that like pushed in and some people like fucking got crushed in a ridiculous stampede to see. Are you talking about the Walmart? No, uh, there was a stampede to see what a black skinned human looked like when, uh, he was in Japan, uh, because like people heard about it, but like couldn't believe it. And like it was still, what that was an event times of change.

Yeah. Yes. Indeed. Indeed. Wild shit. Because Holly, uh, to answer your question, Hollywood doesn't want to tell those stories. Because Hollywood wants to tell the same eight or nine stories over and over and over.

Well, anime is going to do some different or at least Lashan thought misses. So yay for that. That's cool. We'll see where that goes. Yeah, that is cool. Uh, man, why can't there be a Yasuke movie cut to my brain going? Do you remember the movie called the last samurai starring fucking Tom Cruise?

Right. Fuck. Yasuke, the movie starring Tom Cruise. Yeah, there it is. Oh boy. Yeah, that'd be, that's, let's get shit. Let's get shit. Be sure.

Uh, are you thinking of the poster? Cause I'm, I'm thinking of the poster. That's something funny. Don't, don't worry about it. What's up? You okay? You sure? Yeah, I'm good.

Okay. All right. Uh, be sure to ask Min about the guy we worked with that used to talk about the Django all the time. Oh yeah. Wait. I feel like I heard part of it. You might have met him and he always talked about, I don't like, I don't like that.

You might have met him and he always talked about the Django. So, uh, but this was, this was many, many, many years ago. Uh, let's take some questions. Hey, if you want to send in a question, a comment, is it something, something good for us to read? You can send it into castle super beast mail at gmail.com. That's castle super beast mail at gmail.com. We got one coming in from Mitchell says, bonjour, patrice, c'est wouli, avec deux accentes

aigu. Oh, yeah, that doesn't even become wouli anymore. That becomes wouli, wouli, you don't usually ever do that one accent a normal E. There are no words that have two x single two x ontegu. So you're caught. Nice try. We caught you.

Fellow Canadian here from Toronto. Ah, ah, we do you fucking you exposed your ass. Don't hold it against me. Anyway, last week's discussion on brand Twitter reminded me of something that makes me genuinely angry every time I think about it. You're probably familiar with no name brand, the generic yellow and black products sold at Loblaws grocery stores. Yeah, that's just hilarious.

The whole point of no name is to just buy the thing without spending money on the brand name marketed material, or at least it was the point I recently discovered that they've been running YouTube ads and branded Twitter accounts where the whole thing attempts to be a deadpan, dry, self-referential humor, but it makes me rationally upset because it goes against what no name was supposed to be for years. Have you ever seen other examples of this oxymoron brand product where they miss the point and run in the opposite direction? Mitchell, I disagree with your hypothesis entirely.

I reject it. I reject your hypothesis because not only do we know about no name brand, but I accept the direction that they've swerved in because it was entirely unintentional. I don't think America has it, but there was an XKCD comic one time where the guy basically said, here's what my brand of product would be in grocery stores, and it's a big old aisle, and then amongst all the colored noise and packaging that's too fancy, there would be a big white bag that just says chips and another thing that says mayo, and it's just single, clean, simple thing with text on it, and you're like, holy fuck,

look at that thing stand out on a shelf full of all kinds of clutter designs, right? Okay, so that actually exists in Canada in the form of no name brand because they would just make a yellow box, put the word no name trademark in the corner as if to say like, oh, just get any no name brand, whatever, right? And then they actually just started trademarking the name. People kind of like saw and caught onto that, and then like it, I guess kind of like through memification became a generic thing. So then they kind of realized that people were taking it that way and then leaned into it

and went like, here is our product. It is soap. Purchase some soap. And then they put a price up and then that's the whole ad. And then they have a tour, a tour account that does the same thing. Invention of lying with the Rick and Jervis. I didn't see it, but I heard it was pretty funny. That's the Louis CK as well. It was pretty funny until like he started to get super atheisty preachy kind of embarrassing, but there's a there's a coke ad in that movie, which is some businessman on a pure white background that just looks at the camera and has a coke and goes, hey, I'm from Coca-Cola.

You know what Coca-Cola is. You should buy it. I like it. Coke. What? That's the ad. That's the whole ad. What the fuck was the dude who sold computer books? I think where he would just do this commercial where he's like, hi there, this is my name and this is my business and I sell computer products by my products. And he was just ridiculously sincere. Does that ring a bell at all? It was like, nah, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was a commercial. And I remember like this dude was just basically describing the most. It just, it wasn't trying to sell it at all. He was just like, this is what I do. This is what I sell. And I would like you

to buy my product. Thank you very much. And here's a number where you can buy it. Super fucking many, many years ago. It was, it was pretty funny. But yeah, there's an earnesty to that that they kind of caught on to. And then they started selling, like there's like a no-name brand full onesie that you can buy. And then they have like people in the commercials that again, like are emotionless and dry and they just lean into it. And I'm like, yeah, that's funny. That's fine. Lean into it. Your no-name brands like product has backfired and accidentally become kind of known. What now? Lean into the bit. So Mitchell, I disagree with your problem. I think there's no problem here

whatsoever. We need a bigger crab. Oh shit. You know the silence brand crab? Yep. I just realized that the fucking company that makes going under is named Agro Crab and they meme all over Twitter with their, their crab account. You can't silence crab the crab account. John Shearer, the video professor. We need a, we need a bigger. Buy his product. Silence crab. Okay. Ah, we got one coming in. Dear Woli-Chan and Patakun, several of, oh, this is coming in from Vendie Gear says, several of the classic Shantae games have been ported to the switch. Playing them again got

me thinking now, despite the fact that I'm about to tear into them, I love the series to death and it's an endlessly charming, simple Metroidvania to turn your brain off for a while. But the main idea behind the series is Genie Girl transforms by belly dancing. Different forms give you different platforming powers. Monkey gives you air dashing, elephant gives you ground pound, et cetera. What makes it a shame is that the main design hook behind the series is also its biggest hurdle. Because different platforming and Metroidvania-ing abilities are tied to different forms, there's little to no interplay between them. No tech, so to speak. No double jump into ground pound type stuff. So every time you reach a new obstacle, you stop and dance into the appropriate

form, breaking flow and momentum. Finally, these forms have almost no combat utility, offering nothing to boss fights or combat challenges. Don't take my word for it. Look at the Shantae discussions online. The common consensus is that the best game in the series was either Pirate's Curse or Seven Sirens, two games that remove the Genie Girl transform by belly dancing as a platformer mechanic coincidence. Can you think of any game media that's otherwise perfect except being held back by its main design hook? That's the first time I've ever heard anyone say anything negative about Shantae. It's not the first time I've ever heard anything negative about Shantae. In fact, I've heard this almost exact speech from a friend of mine.

Interesting. Whenever somebody asks, hey, is Shantae good? He goes, Pirate's Curse is. I've got an answer that fucking flashes in my brain. You've heard me talk about it a couple times, but Azure Striker Gunvolt. Azure Striker Gunvolt is a cool game where the only problem and the biggest problem is the fucking game hook itself. The flow of combat is really stop and go and it ends up being a ton less fun than it should be as a result. It looks great. It sounds great. An example. It feels cool, but the combat just fucking gets in its own way. I don't have an example, so I'm just gonna I'm just gonna tangent to a completely different thing. Fuck it. I'll give you a game where the an accidental gameplay style ended up

being way more fun than the real one. And that was Call of Duty Modern. Was it? People in the chat let me know. Was it Modern Warfare 2 or Black Ops? I want to say it was Modern Warfare 2. Anyway, point being there was a kill streak in that game where you'd call in a fucking airdrop that could give you different shit. And the way that it worked is you'd hit the kill streak button and you'd get a you get a goddamn fucking like smoke canister in your hand, right? And you throw it. It's called Care Package, right? And the deal was is that for some reason, for some fucking confusing reason, you could run faster with that thing in your hand. Oh boy. Um, I think the idea was that they wanted to make it so that you could run to a safer place

to toss it. But there were also perks in that game that let you sprint forever. And I believe maybe even increase sprinting speed. So you would pick up this fucking perk and all that shit, and you would put that Care Package and you were running at like 150% speed. And you would book it, man. You would fucking go and shooting guns who know. Aiming your gun takes too long. So there was this period where like maps would start as a shooter and they would descend into hyper speed knife fights. See now it was awesome. Now in a game like Titanfall, that's built into the design. So when you pop that speed button, you can also choose to pop your grappling hook, mirage or shield or fucking whatever other insane ability to keep up.

As you run off the walls, clutch the ceiling and mount the mech. Don't imagine Call of Duty is giving you that kind of counterbalance. In fact, people people running so fast that it was often like difficult to hit them was great. But you had to be holding the grenade. Yeah, you had to be holding it, which is why you didn't shoot. You just stab. All right. So Modern Warfare two came out in 2009. And Titanfall came out in 2014. I wonder if the experience of that nonsense influenced the idea of like what if it was Call of Duty, but you could go super fast.

Sure. Anyway, that was a lot more fun than shooting. And it was a lot better than the other busted shit that happened in that multiplayer map. So Respawn just saw that happen once and built an entire fucking brand around it. Sure. Like, yeah, let's do it. But robots also can't prove otherwise. I mean, somebody could literally come out and be like, no, that's not what happened. We just wanted to do robots. The dudes who, yeah, they, right. I forgot the whole history of Respawn. Oh, that's where this weird, like awkward confusion is coming from. Because yeah, dude,

Modern Warfare two happened and then those guys right, right, right, right. And then did their own thing. Yeah. Yeah. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Man, I sure would like another Titanfall game. That would be nice. Hey, Willie. You know how we occasionally talk to people in the industry and people are, uh, you know, they tell us things. I have something to tell you about Titanfall. Is it that it's super dead? No one but you has even said the word Titanfall to me in like a year. There you go. It's good. It's good. Good, good, good. Very good. That sucks, man.

It's not dead until the servers die. Oh, that'll be, that'll be right along then. Yeah, it's like, don't jinx it. Don't jinx it, idiot. Don't jinx it. Just stupid moron. Shut the fuck up. Oh man. Can we start preemptively making the fan server project, the warp pipe? Can we start preemptively doing that, man? I'm done. Like no joke. I'm fairly certain that though with EA's history and the, the, the, the, the cult popularity of Titanfall, I'm sure someone worked on that and it's literally good to go the day that that shit goes down. I just hit the first domino. I just, I just knocked the first domino over.

Um, yeah, we have a bad history of Titanfall news during this podcast. You know, I just have decided to stop talking about it really. That's okay. We can talk about other things. For example, Pat, if you were to, uh, kick the fucking bucket, would you be super totally cool with a virtual version of you being reanimated to say some weird shit in VR for everybody to see? Cause we've got the, the tape on you. We've got the mannerisms. The AI can figure the rest out. Do you give permission right now? We don't, we don't usually talk about celebrity culture. I don't even want to call it right. Um, but the West Kardashian family dynasty in the, no, in the middle of the worst pandemic

anyone's ever seen and everybody going broke and you know, everything going on, they just, they decided to go individually. I want to portray myself as what might possibly be the modern King Louis and Mary Antoinette separately separately. They decided this like the ghost thing that Kanye put together for her birthday, which is she thought it was very sweet. So I guess that's fine. If someone did that to me, I would be, I would have nightmares probably the rest of my life and hate that person forever. Um, and the, the private island shit, the most inappropriate flex that ever was. So I'll take that as a yes. I'll sign you up. You're, you're super down. No. Ironically enough, um, when I die, you just throw my body in the trash or

like a ditch. Diogenes over the city walls to the wolves. What do I give a fuck? Okay. Who gives a fuck? But come on, don't, don't like, come on. I mean, look, man, it's, it's, it's, it's a, it's a union based on vapidity. So like what, what expectations are you going to have? Yeah, but here, okay. You know what? You know what? Here's my expectation that in a act that is ostensibly for someone's birthday to give them a heartfelt if horrific and nightmarish misguided. Oh, you go criticize the script. You go criticize the script of the dad. The man can't get his name in there. You can't sign his work. You will not use the digital skeleton puppetry of a loved one's family member to brag about how smart you are.

Oh, man. Holy shit. Holy God. But it's a wink and a nod, right? It's like a big old joke because it's like, haha. Ha, that's the joke. Only the most, most, most, most, most genius person around would use the corpse of a family member's loved one in order to brag about themselves. Okay. So here's what I'm going to end that on. Did you see the similar reanimation a couple weeks or maybe a month now prior that happened when some parents of a Parkland victim reanimated their son to talk about the lack of action in terms of everything that's been happening with gun violence, right? Yeah, they reanimated their kids so he could tell people to go vote and to and I saw that commercial and I went make noise about

that's really weird. That's super ghoulish. And then I can do I and I can do you one better. I can do you one better. Okay. In which I believe I want to say it was a Korean lady. Yes. Yes. The lady who saw her dead child reality reunites with dead daughter and she's wearing the goggles and she's trying to touch the child horrifying, horrifying. That's not good for anybody. Absolute peak black mirror, right? That is not good for anybody. So that's not good for her. It's very not good for us. So so but what I was going to say is is in that fucking moment, seeing that, at least with the prior, you kind of then have to look at like the look at the flavoring that Kanye put into this

necro resurrection of the dead and and like there isn't even a hint of like we thought it might be for a good cause that you can sort of sprinkle on top of it. It's just absolute necromancy. Paige pointed out that at the end he tells you to say your prayers and then like and then bursts into fucking and it and it feels like a ghost threat. He says say your prayers and then he gets Thanosed and it's like it's super sudden and jarring as fuck. And if you were watching that in VR, you would like absolutely step back with how sudden he just vanished and died. Anyway, yes, this is where we're at now. The technology exists. It's just are you enough of a fucking ghoul to use it to resurrect the dead? Because if there's recordings of you,

they can make it happen. And the uncanny valley is getting smaller and smaller every year. Holograms. Real necromancy. I can't believe I have to say unironically into the camera do not resurrect your loved ones from the dead. It's not a good look for any reason at all. How do you feel about pet cloning? Barbara needed to be stopped 20 years ago. There's a picture of Streisand's dogs looking at the grave of the dog that was cloned from her original dog. And they all look identical to each other. She needed to be stopped at the turn of the fucking century. Absolute Yamato, but it's too late now. You can't go where we're gonna. We're gonna go back. We're gonna get to a point in the future

where the Streisand effect is not actually about, you know, trying to keep people to shut the fuck up on the Internet. It's going to be like the name of like a clone, like fighting their original like psychosis. In which point she actually ends up winning because the name the Streisand effect is now Streisand effected into hiding her original fuck up by making it about cloning now. I don't think she'll win because it'll probably happen when she clones herself and her new version kills and eats her original body. I mean, that's fair. And then starts telling you about how she was in Yental. Nonetheless, the Streisand effect sounds like the sequel to the Streisand experiment. Or the Cloverfield Lane. It's like fucking series. Like, yes, it's getting it's getting extreme,

but but don't other people in the chat don't know what the original reason for the Streisand effect is. And what a great, great reason to explain. Fucking Google or some shit got photos of her house on a satellite. And you know, put it up and so people can see the top of her house. And Barbara Streisand sued them saying, take those motherfucking pictures of my house off, which made everyone go, oh, so that's your house. It doesn't say Barbara Streisand lives here, but it's a big old dot. But now we all know. So dumb dumb. So the name of the effect is the attempt to censor information actually points to highlight the information because it shows that you've super wanted to censor it and hide it. Yeah, it's like if you shot your pants and your

attempt to get people to not notice you shitting your pants is to just start screaming at the top of your lungs. I did not shit my pants. I'll see that example and I'll raise you something much more every day in real. It's my favorite current example of the ongoing Streisand effect. That seems pretty every day in real to me. All right. Well, hey, we all live different lives. God bless. But we do. My favorite current ongoing is a feature that Twitter unveiled, which is the hide replies Twitter, where you can go into any thread on Twitter and hide replies you don't like. And that's fine. Those replies are hidden. But then anybody who comes along can just click on the thing to see hidden replies and see what you've chosen to hide. Furthermore,

if a tweet happens to have hidden replies on it, Twitter will let you know that there are hidden replies on this thread. So you will show up on a normal thread and see those hidden replies. And if the goal of Twitter to hide things when they shadow ban and shit like that, sometimes you'll see like show more and you click more and then there's nothing there because it's like, eh, this is shadow banned. You don't see nothing over there. But here you would not have thought about an 80 hidden replies at all until Twitter said, Hey, by the way, there's hidden replies in this thread. Click here if you want to see them. But you know, the guy who like made the thread doesn't want you to see him. So then you go and you just see everything that was chosen to be hidden in

the thread. And you're like, Oh, this is what you try to hide. So I thought what you were going to talk about is the Twitter function of I'm not going to let anyone reply to my message, which might as well just be a big stamp of this is the worst take ever. Not even because I know I will be ratioed to hell. I've only seen I honestly I've only seen jokes posted with the no reply thing. These days, some real ones and they were all terrible takes. Well, but no, I mean straight up the like this person has chosen to highlight what they did not like which in your in their replies. And now you can go look at them and see what they hit. It's just it's the most backwards fucking method of like trying to help somebody by making them even more

of a target. Anyway, don't clone your loved ones or your pets or anything. Don't clone them. Don't don't don't resurrect them from the dead. I almost disagrees almost sounds like he wants to be cloned. I mean, look, you can fucking if you're going to do it, at least do it via like sarcophagus juice or or or or or any of that new dust we've been digging up. You hear about the fucking worms that defrosted from like 30,000 years ago. Yeah fucking 30,000 years ago start of the thing some frozen worms defrosted and two of them just started eating their 30,000 years old. Let me let me slow that down for you.

They defrosted worms that were in permafrost and not so perma and they fucking just started eating. That's going on right now. What else do you need? Are you familiar with an ER truism that's you're not dead until you're cold until you're warm and dead? Sure. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. That's why they sell the the button in the coffin. I saw a whole special about the wake up in the coffin button. Yeah, that was a the result of a I don't forget what the disease it was, but it was bad because it was common enough that you tie like a string to people's finger that could ring a bell. It's like, couldn't you just wait a while and see if they were actually dead guys?

Yeah, in this case, they talked about what was it? Well, usually not because they want to avoid the rot. So you do a quick burial and all that jazz. But yes, there was someone who like talked about like you could have this service installed in your coffin where you can press a button for a while in the period of burial. Tell everybody about that. You know what else I do? You know what else I do? I secretly go up to the guy. I'm like, I want a proximity sensor put into the gravestone and I want to I want to help me get out of here noise to play when people come visit my grave. All right, let's wrap it up on this. Here it is. I have before before that I have one last question is really important.

If you if you come up with like a really incredible prank that involves you being dead, right? Do you consider faking your own death so that you can actually see the prank go off? Because I just thought of that and like that'd be really funny, but I wouldn't be alive to see it. So I'm like, what if I just fake my death? How good is the prank? And then I mean, if you fake your death and jump out behind the gravestone, that alone is pretty rock solid. Because they will be free. Like if it's a prank that seals your status as legendary forever, as it like then like, yeah, I'd say totally go for it. Super worth it.

Even if everyone absolutely disowns you after that, that's cool. Yeah. Here's what I was going to say. You are totally allowed to clone Elmo and do as you would with that as long as you want. You can keep the combo going. The cost is upon your bloated death, your reanimated, your reanimated 3D ass hologram V tube corpse will be dragged out and paraded to say all the things that the brands wants you to say. All right, I got I got a question for you. What? Okay, say we clone Elmo off the dead Elmo, right? And we got a new Elmo. Is it horrible or cool to turn old Elmo into a coat and little hat for new Elmo?

I mean, is it even unethical? Ever had an egg? I don't know. This is kind of new ground here. Ever had a chicken omelet? Yeah. Oh, is that called the modern mother mother daughter plate or something like that? Chicken omelet, an omelet of eggs with pieces of chicken in it. Yeah. Okay, no, I have not had that. All right, well, you know, I, that's an outro.
