Customize your place from clicks and play
Just so you know, there's a different idea
On Google Play
So, uh, perfect Monday recording timing
Uh, kind of astonishing, really, hot, hot, it's piping hot off the presses
45 minutes ago
Elden Ring leaks dropping onto Twitter
Verified by people, but some people are questioning it
But then I saw it was verified by, like, two people
So, I guess it's real?
I'm gonna use my...
I'm gonna use my Photoshop eyes
Despite not being able to use Photoshop's
I'm gonna use my Photoshop eyes and I will say
That looks pretty real
VoiceOver said that, hey bro, you sure you wanna look for the Elden Ring?
So I'm like, yeah, okay, I guess I believe that
Yeah
You didn't hire...
If leakers start hiring people on Cameo
Oh man
Then we're in trouble
That's the real problem
Well actually, you know what it'd be, like, say you're like, you know, John Leguizamo, whoever, right?
And somebody's like, hey, can you read this?
And he's like, this looks like a trailer line for something that doesn't exist
Mmm
I mean, you say that, but also this week was
You got all the recessive genes, Snake!
I mean, that's true
So Gilbert Godfried was absolutely dropped into Liquid Snake's role through Cameo
You never know what's possible
If Smash Bros. guy, announcer guy, starts doing those, fuck
Dante!
Gino!
I, that's, so he, he is a voice actor who does a bunch of other stuff
So that is possible
That's upsetting
Look, I hacked it out of the files and it's totally the smash announcer going
Dante wins the pizza or, you know, whatever
Yeah
So yeah, straight up, like 45 minutes ago, right before we started the podcast
Just log on to Twitter and I saw super butter buns going
Should I look at that Elden Ring, Elden Ring leak shit?
And I went, whaaat?
A bunch of people talking about it
Uh, recorded on a Nokia handset
Nothing
Being strained through a coffee grinder
Deep-fried
With a baby in the background
Deep-fried meme quality
Yeah, with, with like, it's, it's not, I don't think, I've talked about it before, Willie
Recorded by Hypercam
I don't remember if you were into the Halo at the time
But the Halo 3 barn leak is the all-time greatest
Halo 3 barn leak is all-time greatest
I, I, I always give love to the DMC 5 reflection guy
Oh man
Barn leak was pretty strong because that was like
For absolute security
But I still, there is a part of me that still has nostalgia for
Arcade cabinet fighting game shit footage
Over the shoulder of a bunch of people doing a location test in Japan
Where it's like, oh fuck, the newest KOF or the newest anything just dropped
And you just see a bunch of shit matches
With like, shaky, bullshit can't, and you're like, you're trying to squint at the sprites
But it was exciting because you're like, okay, something's coming this way and it's gonna look great
What I, you know what? Oh man, do you remember the Street Fighter 4 test where they were like, had dudes around that
To stop you from recording it, so every piece of footage that came out of that location test was like sideways
Like from some dude's pocket underneath the screen
Look like complete garbage
And if not for those fucking garbage phone angles, we would have no proof that Capcom
Fighting all stars ever existed
The 3d one
Right, there's the old that's the only existing proof of that game
We have a couple of renders and we have those those static screenshots, but that footage
Is is what shows us that they tried to do fatalities
In a Capcom fighting game one time
You know, I don't remember if you
Saw these ones, but I remember watching
Because I I'll get I'll watch any leak I can get my hands on particularly if they're like behind closed doors demos
And one of the one of the little
Like cherries on top of watching the leak that's just extra delicious is when it the guy starts the recording super early
And it includes the person demoing the thing going don't record this. Yeah, put your phone away
You're under like, you know, if you get caught you legal action
Put your phones away and you see like the camera kind of shifts a little bit as they like kind of
Hide it under their elbow or some shit
And it's it's just like oh you fucking asshole. Oh my god
Like there's the moment where you almost expect the person demoing it to like look straight at the camera
Yeah, but no the that person just doesn't give a fuck they
Clout is more important than anything else and they've made their decision. So they'll sleep in the well
I have I wish the best of luck to
Mr. Mrs. Elden ring leaker because
The most prominent thing about the elden ring leak trailer is not any of the footage
It's not the quality of the footage
It's not that it's a year old build or any of the features in the game
It's the fact that it is
The only trailer I have ever seen in my life that is plastered with the brand
Confidential on every inch of the screen. There is that
now it is
like
Dramatically plastered all over it. Do not leak this
Now now was the original account that leaked this
named
rr marty boy
420
The the first place that I saw it come up. Okay, uh, uh, uh elden ring website
YouTube page called elden ring news that was like counting down like
800 days of no news on elden ring. Okay
um
and shit like that
Just
Georgie George
2021
underscore
But no, oh, there's more. There's more. I'm literally watching more right now. There's more dropping. Oh my god. Okay. Well, then yeah, all right
So here's the thing
So the so the takeaway
that I can gather
Is you can ride a horse and you see some horse combat. That's the most notable
Thing of the trail. Yeah the
The takeaway is that what I had heard a long time ago
As to what the hell this game is
Is it's dark souls, but open world. Okay. Yeah, it's very big
I'm looking at the the second group of footage the second part of footage now. Yeah, so
um, the first 30 seconds in that first teaser
Is like there's some stuff that looks
pretty
like
not
Not current gen I should say
um, yeah that skeleton shot
And then there's a rolling
Uh, uh, there's a moment of a couple moments of combat that I'm like, okay. This is super blurred ass footage
So it's hard to tell but it doesn't look like it's like
going for um
Anything super far beyond what we've already seen in dark souls
In terms of like just model and world asset quality
um
the
There's the moment where you see rolling from dragonfire while
um
What should we call it the the tracking soul
Spelled uh things are around
Homing soul crystal. Yes, and
homing soul mass
Or and then you kind of like you're like, okay. That is a staple. That's still there
Uh, you see a side roll. You see a parry a riposte. You see a backstab
So it's like yep, they're making sure that you see that all the staples are still there. Um
I guess
Maybe I'm just like also thinking of how much
Blue point demon souls I've been staring at recently, but that thing is really
Really gorgeous and my brain is
currently putting that
as
What you know as as what I kind of hope to see the the the new series come out an approach
And uh, it's definitely not there
Sorry about that. I just have to wash my hands. It's not a problem. I'll keep stalling for time
P on his dick the environments
Show you I see we see some giants that look like the old rotted tree giants of
The dark souls ish world
Although they also might be a little bit of like old one branch had things sticking off of them
Uh, dude's got a nice curved sword and shield for a moment. So sabers are you know doing what they do
A lot of familiarity remember a lot of familiarity
Do you remember when we were talking about the
Uh demon souls remake and I was talking about the animation
Oh man, the the shaky cam on the on the stabs and stuff like that. Oh man, they're so incredible
And we started to laugh like almost like fearfully about like
But what if what if the next game by from soft
Still looks jank like they always do. Uh-huh. Uh-huh
Uh-oh. Yeah
Okay, so there's something that uh blue point
Has has really made uh obvious. I think
Is when you go back to
original from soft, uh, uh stuff particularly
I I mean not as much bloodborn, but particularly like that's uh, sorry, uh
Dark souls one and two. There's a lot of like
bright searing orange
Yeah, a lot orange is a real favorite
Um
And to the point where like some areas are like visually painful
Mm-hmm
Like like isolith is out of control that original right right, right, right?
And and so I kind of like I kind of forgot that because blue point muted
a bunch of that
And kind of had a lot of like, you know
graze and and and
Cool tones and all sorts of things in those environments and looking back at this this blurry trailer
I'm like, oh, there's that from soft orange
So forgot about that. I have a I have a trailer that you should look at
For context because it's been a long time since you watched it now
You don't have to watch the whole thing. I'm just sending it to you so you can skim it for like two seconds and that's
we got a
A while
So from soft leaks like a sieve, right? This is three games in a row
That their shit got leaked out
So the first one was Bloodborne and we had the project beasts trailer
Now I don't know how long I don't know how long it's been since you watched that trailer
I went and found it a couple minutes ago. Dude that trailer looks like shit
Does it like it? Oh, yeah, look at it. It looks like shit
I literally did forget second. Okay. That's because that is the comparison Bloodborne to project beasts
Is is is a good way to project beast was a like year old build
When it leaked
right
The build that we're looking at for Elden Ring right now
Is supposedly
A year old
Um
I have uh a suspicion
Let's call it a suspicion
That uh, covet slowed this project down
And that's why it's been so long since
Since we've seen it
But right okay, so I mean the most notable thing about project beast going back was like frame rate
but I mean
It it it yeah, it definitely tightened up
From this to the to the final release
Uh, but like I would say that like it's not such a
Like insane jump
That yeah, we can expect Elden Ring to come out and like, you know
Suddenly be like
Blowing us away visually. I think you're kind of gonna get from soft doing the fangs
And occasional moments of like super beauty, you know, what I expect to happen is what happened with Witcher 2
um
And Witcher 3
Basically Witcher 2 and 3 like Witcher 3 has like nicer character models than Witcher 2
But it's not like night and day, right?
The the biggest difference between Witcher 1, sorry, Witcher 2 and 3 is that you're like, wow, this this area looks really nice
And then you would like walk through it and then you would hit a load screen and it would be like a contained area
And then in Witcher 3 it'd be like, oh this area looks really nice
And then if you chose to walk you would walk for 10 kilometers
That's that's kind of what I expect out of of uh of an Elden Ring. I expect Sekiro
But the map
Just goes right instead of having impassable cliffs everywhere Sekiro is their more is their most, you know
Uh, uh, yeah recent like example of where they're at tech wise and Elden Ring is built
On last gen, you know, it's it's been coming for a while. Um, so I don't think that's true
Really? I think it's been the next gen game the whole time has it been? Oh, if that's the case then
I was well, then I get then I guess we can take away that that extra little benefit then
Because I was basically trying to you know
Oh, no, wait. Oh, you're saying I'm looking at platforms. This is ps4 and xbox one. Okay. Well, there you go
Yeah
um
So I I I guess it's uh, it's you know, we just we live in we live in a world where the uh
the
The demon souls remake is is right here. So the comparison is just right on the top of my brain and um,
I think you know
That you still are gonna have probably moments in areas that are like
Um
That are gonna out do anything we saw there for example Irithyll as
You know can is like better than is more gorgeous than anything in that entire remake. Um
Yeah, that's why we use a little
Animated unbelievable version of it for our goddamn podcast. Yeah, and you know anor Londo same same energy, right?
Like just unbelievable really really just you know firing on all cylinders there. Um
And kanehurst I feel I feel similarly about you know, there's some incredible moments that are like
uh peak
but
Uh, yeah, we have to see some some close-up footage of that
But like I think we're gonna otherwise get something that looks like it's gonna
Um
At the very least if that trailer is last gen then it'll look like it's like well, that's about where last gen ended
you know, um and
If we get
A next gen trailer that like
I don't know is somewhat upraised. It'll just be a better crisper version of those assets
Currently at better frame rates, but any trailer would be upraised. Mm-hmm. Because this footage is fucked
This is a fucking footage now all that aside about the aesthetics because you know from soft, right? Um
Yeah gameplay wise we can see that
It's the soul's game. It's a soul's game
They're not even it's literally exactly what we all thought it was they're not even gonna like hint at like
No, we're going to look it's like no, it's a soul's game, bro. You're at a horse and there's horse combat now
So we'll see how elaborate that can get
You know, but you see familiar spells familiar weapons and familiar mechanics. So
That's that's about right. It's it's kind of wild because you described like
Uh, you describe like hitting all those bullet points
There's a boss that jumps straight up in the air and slams a sword on the ground and creates a giant dust explosion
And the character like kind of moves to the left out of it. You see homing crystal soul mass and you see a variation of the fucking
Farron soul blade thing from dark souls 3
Do you see like the the the the buckler scimitar combo that a lot of the starting classes start with
Uh, the one
Big new one that wasn't the horse
Was sneaking
Sneaking. Yes, true crouching and slowly walking up behind something. I did see that but
Um, yeah, I mean they're making what they were hired to make
You know like George R. R. Martin is going to write the story and otherwise this is
This is this is what it is. It's it's what to be it's what's to be expected here
Um, it's it's
We're getting closer every every game is getting closer to berserk. Have you noticed it?
Maybe exception of Sekiro. I mean, maybe
We're seeing look again the giants are they look like the same giants from fucking that world as I mentioned
There's that mage looking character hanging out in what looks like majula because of how fucking orange it is
Oh, it's
It's it's that oh that so they go they run that gamut from like light orange, which is almost yellow all the way to like
Crispy burnt orange
It's a really good color to make things pop especially if you have a sky
Right because the sky will create a complementary color to your orange
Um, that reminds me this is casting a blue spell
Do you know why? Uh, uh, do you know why crash bandicoots orange? Why?
Because because the ps1 displays orange particularly well. Oh, it's great. Love that
Love those stories about like why did this mascot turn out to be this way technical let the limitations or reasons
mega man
Sonic barry all that shit where it's just like yep, we went for that to display this at the best thing
That's that's always the good reason for it. Um
I I uh
I'm looking here. I see yeah, it looks like a giant
um
There's well actually no there's there's so there's two dragons here
There's a giant like a whirlwind looking thing
Ah
Yeah, uh
Hey guys
There's a dragon. I
Hope this is dragon. I hope how long do you think it's gonna be before this fucking website gets sorry this youtube channel gets killed
Uh, if it gets killed, that's an ultimate sign of super super sure confirmation. It's real real real
Undoubtedly real, but like then again like I that'd be too much to fake so at this point. There's way too much footage here
I want to give the biggest shout out
Ever to this to this goddamn youtube channel that is where it's all showing up. It's elden ring news
And i'm gonna link you to it wools because it is astonishing
This gentleman has uploaded a video every single day
For eight months. Oh, yeah, I've know i've been following
And it's literally day 102
To the day's date there is no news about elden ring and they're all 20 seconds long
And like and then the the the big ass leaks
Just blowing out from this one location
Uh
It's incredible. I love it
I hope that the horseback riding combat
Is not just like
One or two swings and then otherwise steer your
your horse car
In the direction and and and road rash it. I hope that there's a little bit more going on with the horse
It needs to it needs to or it needs to it should
have
Heavy and strong strong and light attack like your regular melee and it should have a move set
Per weapon that is dependent on its type
Like I don't think I don't think having a move set for on the horse for every single weapon in the game
Is viable, but at least like all curved swords will do this
Sure
You know, uh horse lances will do horseback archery
Uh horseback dismounting attack
Horseback boss fight
There will like
assuredly
The a couple horseback boss fights right like yeah, yeah, yeah the most obvious thing in the world
There's a fourth leak
Losers
I can't wait until like I somebody's like elden ring leak and I click on it and it's like that picture of barack obama with the huge cock
Damn
You know what's gonna happen
Uh the one you posted is just the mage doing stuff
So it's just a start of a a boss fight. So you want to look for the uh
The video that is
um
About a minute long minute and six seconds. Yeah
It's it's actually funny because that version is a lower quality than the two separate leaks that then were later combined together
But it it's it's that that version is missing
Man these these are these are the days, huh? Like once upon a time
This is what it was just like squinting at shit footage trying to parse what you're staring at
We're back. I'm trying to I'm trying to see like the house around the guy's monitor
Sure like sure like oh man. Uh-oh. It's filipino champ's house
That what that's the just oh my god. Okay, so you can see him
You can see him in the footage. Okay. Here we go. Uh balance beams jump button
Okay
That looks what are you looking at?
Uh new another another one another 40 another another one another one opening some big fancy doors
Opening some big fancy doors a jump off of the send me this
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's coming. It's coming. It's coming a jump off of a balance beam
um
What do we got going on here? They should torch in hand probably
Put out a real trailer today
You're kind of at this point. Yeah tweets gone. Yeah
Already gone. Wow. Okay. Well, I'm it's still loaded on my on my thing. So here. Let me let me
If I could record my screen
Yeah
Oh, they're super mad
Oh, I love yeah big statue in a cavern area of darkness that might be
There like
Um, you know basin or rotten type area
um torch in hand
Not okay torch in hand how you feel about that
Oh, I got I got the I got somebody sent me the
S sent me the new one that you're watching. Okay
Torch in hand needs to be like easy
And and manageable. Don't make it a pain in the ass, please. Oh, that is totally a jump button. You're right
It looks like it, right? That well because he's not sprinting. He's not sprinting. It looks like a jump button. Yeah
Torch in hand, I can only see like being the same as it always is
Hmm
Dude, this this this just looks like
This literally looks like dark souls one and two and three mashed together
Like it almost feels like, you know, like when people do like the tale of two wastelands mod where they put fallout 3 and fallout new vegas into one game
Right and they're just like connected. This literally feels like hey, we made we made two or three dark souls games
And then we put a high we put a
High-rule field. Well, wait for the data mine a high-rule field
Yeah, wait for the data miners to pull out some file names that are just like absolutely hard confirmation of
Of dark souls 3 files, you know
They should okay, do you remember
When activision
Had call of duty
modern warfare 3
Like literally every single thing about that game leaked out
and kotaku published like
Like what every single level in the game was and what the plot was did they and all the multiplayer weapons? Yeah, it was crazy
Okay, it was it was the whole thing
and
Activision went
Oh
shit
And the next day they put out like
20 trailers. Yes, and did a bunch of interviews
And we're like, well, that's what your marketing department is supposed to do. Yes
Just you give it that was activision
You give it you give it
You know, you go 24 hours you put it all together and you go. All right. Here we go
You know hands was forced is what it is
um
And then so but this is this is bandai namco. I remember a conversation
We were having perhaps a year or so ago about how
Man, how weird is it going to be if you're going to be going around to towns that are living and
populated and talking to people
And based on this footage fuck. No, you're not
This is still a dead world
as always
You're going to meet a couple people standing around here and there and every one of them you will know by name
It's it's really interesting that all the from software leak stuff is always crazy to me
Because the more that I find out about bloodborne and dark souls 3 in particular
Dude, like huge portions of those games hit the cutting room floor
like bosses and areas and concepts like in dark souls 3
You're supposed to be able to make your own bonfires by dragging corpses to locations that you wanted to leave
Even right right right right and like that's just gone and those screenshots that came out that look like the world being eaten
By dragons and all that shit
And that that fucking just straight it doesn't happen in the game. It's just gone
So what are we going to go with fun on the uh the naming convention here hollow undead
You know
spirit form
We'll see whatever the lower reason is
It's going to be arm based
It's going to be like hand or finger or something like that
Because the elden ring the original trailer the the lady puts on a robot arm and then the
The the the elden ring is being grasped by like a hundred hands. Okay, almost like a like a yodakage thing. Yeah
Ringless did come to mind, but I'm like added. We don't know enough to know anything about what the fucking
What the actual ring is and does and all that shit?
So we will have to see what the titular
Elden ring will actually be
um
If they just say it it's it just lets you rule them all then fucking
Then george is getting tired and old and needs to go to sleep like
Feeling that if the elden ring just rules them all
It's just george might need a nap
Yeah
um
Man i'm just i'm just like sprawling because there's all sorts of
like
Because i'm talking out my ass this is all speculation right but like i'm looking at one of the trailers and the iconography
is like
It it feels like a big giant super dark souls
Yes, like the bridge type of locations and the architecture and the giant golden tree that reaches to the heavens and
All that stuff it looks like kind of like a greatest hits of different
Idealized portions if just mashed together in a big game if Miyazaki weren't like
spiritually done with the franchise
You could see that being dark souls 4
Yeah, totally. You could see them just going like yeah, this is where we go next with it
If if they didn't end dark souls 3 the way it was
where dark souls 3 ends with like
Literally the entire universe crumbling in a dust and going it's done lol
Uh, I would look at this and go oh, it's dark souls 4 right, but no that that series is over
Hopefully actually uh
Well, he did say that like it's done for him
But yeah, you know legally the only one making games there anymore
I guess but legally they could do whatever they want
Yeah, they could
Well, that's interesting. I wonder if the antagonist will just be Griffith
Wow, there's I'm looking at the fourth footage and it's wild. You can see the dude's taskbar
Okay, so someone someone you can see got access see that he has like notifications that he hasn't um
Hasn't checked out yet and that he likes soccer
Yeah, someone's soccer player. Someone got access to an intranet
Or an ftp server. Yeah, this person is uh, this person is european
Damn there we go damn I can confirm it
Because there's a soccer man on the wall
Track him down like who else like death note
Find the exact city they're coming from
um
Yeah, I imagine there is probably like a bunch of dudes over at band iNamco right now like legitimately like digging through
Files and uh rosters and who got yeah invited to what show and it's shit like that
But what if the fact that that grim is involved means that like there's also a like his company side of things
That has access to some otherwise
Some people that otherwise wouldn't be there, you know
What if it's someone that doesn't give a fuck that just is like i'm on the book team
It's always this thing where
I mean you've worked in the but i've i'm always been on the outside of the business right but you've actually worked in the business
And every single day that the thing exists more people know about it
And it's only a matter of time before somebody actually decides to say something
um
I can't remember
After you after you know, I was just gonna say like I was I was making jokes earlier
But but like squint at that that desktop and see if you don't see wins of winter version five dot doc
See if you don't see some shit sitting on that desktop
Uh, I've talked with people before season eight shit talk dot txt and about how uh, how like they try and find leaks
and
It's every time I've ever gotten to talk to somebody who works at a company that's gotten leaked
Unless it's like straight up pulled off a server like the capcom shit
Right when it actually leaks out from an individual. It's literally always the same thing
It's like it happened right after we sent the information over to a different company
Like so like say bandai namco
And from soft they had it all locked down tight
And then they sent this trailer or this build to show to somebody at microsoft or sony
And then that company
Just like they put it on some fucking server and they don't hide it. Exactly somebody some intern just goes. It's fucking mine. Yeah
Yeah, no every every step away, you know, uh
Has a little has a further and further security risk and and I remember um
A big part of what like the places I worked had to advertise was their secure labs
And was there like the only people that will ever lay eyes on this have to sign in on a sign-in sheet
You know, everything is tracked. Yeah, everything is handed back at the end of the day and and and absolute control and we will assassinate leakers
You know, so um and like the bigger bigger projects they would like move you to
Like there's secure labs that are like there's open labs that are just you know
Same big room and then there was parts where it's like no, you cannot even walk down that hallway
Because the client is fucking blizzard, you know
um
And shit like that so
Uh, yeah, but anyway, you know, we'll see we'll see what happens to this
But if the paul marketing is doing his job
They will just get their shit together and
Headed off at the pass
So i'm not sure where this part came from but it seems to be floating around
the the leaks themselves
which is
The idea that the actual reveal is planned for some time this month
I mean
Any time would be good
Anything would be good
It would it would be nice if they just had it sitting unlisted on youtube
And like the real version of the trailer
And then they were like
boop
Okay, you got us
I mean we'll have to again, I will see up close once once we get a chance, but you know, at least it's not a case of like
um
Show shit too early and then like fucking nothing
It's this is one true. This has been a forever game, but you know, at least we can see that there's some shit there that you know is is running
Um, yeah want I want to play it though. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm I'm not allowed to it's not out. Oh
I want to play I want to play it so bad that I've basically been going through every other souls like
On my ps5 recently
It just in scratching that itch, you know having fuck it. I've I beat I beat the desk and then
You know reggie just finished it as well actually so I'll take the week there
um
And then I'm fucking like going through neo
And I'm just looking back and and I'm reinstalling Bloodborne and I'm just like yeah, I just
I got that feel I got that that vibe. I want to you know, I want to fucking play on a realistic
Realistic basis like the fact that they're taking so long on
Alden ring is
promising
Because like every single souls game has come out with like major parts rushed
Uh demon souls never got the goddamn
5th archstone
Parts of Dark Souls 1 are like laughably unfinished
Although like the bed of chaos area you could just see like the gray box
If you look at it from certain angles the 5th archstone Bloodborne had all that cut shit like the the or 4th archstone
Is now though if it let's say it ever came to exist somehow
Let's you know, they went like hey blue point go nuts make some dlc right or whatever the fuck
Uh
They would have to compete with the Vati Vidya contest where people submitted their own ideas
And yeah, some of the winners were so fucking good that all you could do is compare it to that now
Well, the other thing is that like if you if they took if they went and grabbed the concept art or whatever from that
Uh and implemented it you'd be like oh
turns out the land of the frost giants
Was actually
Cainhurst with the really tall enemies from the cathedral ward sure
Because whenever they don't finish an idea and it never gets in
They just pass it forward one game forward
Yeah, um
it it uh
but it definitely is is like
a a
Vibe that comes around every couple years of like
You want to play some souls right now? You want to you want to yeah, man?
Uh, I don't know what the online is going to be. I assume it'll be the exact same. It's always been
I don't know what else they'll do to it
But I assume you're going to get the same level of online. You've always gotten jolly cooperation
invasions
horseback invasions
it would be really weird if
It was an open world game
And it still had the same like joining system
Because that would that like
I can just imagine like you hanging out in an empty forest and going to pee and then coming back and being stabbed
Kurt Cobain somebody ran up on you with their horse Kurt Cobain has invaded
Somewhere on this open world map. Good luck
I mean they haven't said that there'd be they haven't said much about the game at all. It might not have any online at all
Or it might just have a regular ass co-op
Just regular old co-op maybe maybe I doubt that very much
I think it's much more likely that it would just have nothing like Sekiro
Ah
I imagine the the the I imagine it'll have bare minimum the same the same level of of you know, um
Previous Souls games bare minimum
Um, yeah except except it isn't a Souls game, right? Yeah
But remember that that that's also a difficulty regulator
right it is
Cooperation is actually a difficulty setting for the games
So I gotta say I'm aware that there are there are folks that are like, oh, it's just souls open world
and that's kind of a bummer to them
but
like
dark souls one is
My favorite for the simple reason that it nailed the interconnected location
the best
Going all the way up from the top
of like fire link to light town into the ash lake
Right, that's the coolest
and
Like seeing locations off in the distance and like bullshitting your way over to them
It like even though Dark Souls one mechanically is like not nearly as
Interesting as the its sequels like that that level design is incredible. Yeah fire link being able to make branching off in like four or five directions
and yeah and expanding that into like
A really really like like I'm thinking of Zelda and seeing death mountain in the distance
But instead of death mountain it sends fortress
you know
Like yeah, fuck
Yeah, I want that
Thinking about I want to I want to I want to
Be riding along in a field and hit the edge of a swamp and have a
Too aggressive
Green color filter go over the screen to let me know that the swamp is poison
Sure, sure
Do you remember walking into blight town and the whole games?
It just dies. It just dies. Yeah the instant you walk through that door
The other thing too is like riding your horse across a zone
And like just getting like multiple title drops as you ride in and out and into the next zone past it
Oh, yeah
blah
blah
blah
you know
so
I mean some of these areas, you know, you're even if you're
Even if your horse has stamina some of these areas are, you know, not necessarily meant to be like
Fucking horseback speed
Sprinted through the horse is gonna be okay. I hope so
because like
This is a violent game what if it what if it gets hurt
Maybe you're gonna get knocked off of it then you walk up to it
Pet it and then stab it and take its power into your blade
Like the nameless king. I mean alternatively you could just not have a horse. It's just grab a horse
From dudes
I mean the horse could be a skeleton
What if your horse was a skeleton?
Sushima Sushima has given you a horse, but also lets you grab a horse
Oh, man somebody in the chat just asked like the best question
Is open world like a proper open world game with absolutely no map a good idea
There will be a map and I have to say the answer is yes
There will be a map for sure. No, there will be a no, but it won't be a helpful map
There will be a map
But it will but it'll be like a piece of parchment that it like is just with dots on it
Yes, it'll a piece of parchment with dots and the shape of the trace of the island
And that's it. Yeah, and it doesn't show you where you are
It only shows land
Oh
man
Oh, fuck that pointing out the Sekiro
Uh did have a map which I forget using honestly. Fuck that
Fuck fuck that
I mean
It did it did. Yeah. Sekiro did have uh, oh, yeah. Sekiro's map was terrible
It was it was just a screenshot of the whole zone of the whole area. Oh, yeah
With a bunch of dots on it worthless. It was just a picture. Just make one of those side scroller arcadey maps like, uh
Ghouls and ghosts where it's just a bunch of the fucking zones attached together in vaguely similar form. Oh, man
I literally forgot Sekiro had a map and the reason is is because it is literally just a painting with fucking
labels slapped on it
Huh, I mean look they could do it. They could just go all it on. Um, fuck you learn learn the whole world, but it's like
Oh, that'd be so cool. But like a thing. Okay. I
Have
All of that demon souls map in my brain right now because it's current. Yeah. Um
I have
portions of
Dark souls maps one two and three in my head. Yeah, but
Boy is there like 40% clutter in there. Yeah
you know
um
Like like desk two and desk. I keep seeing desk. Shit Dark Souls two
Like I can tell you where majula goes to haze tower or backwards to the to the fucking forest of giants
and and and
Uh, uh, you know how all all those like linear pathways go, but then you're like
Wait, but what about where was that again? And like it just it it's not gonna stick around
And if the if the open world ends up being like five times the size of any of those things, um
We're all just gonna die you say you think it's cool, but we're gonna die
There is a way to do it and that is to provide landmarks
Uh
If you provide a map in which you can almost always see at least one landmark from every location
And in many locations you can see two landmarks
That's good. That's fine. And if you're teleporting and if you're teleporting to bonfires with
pictures
of said landmark
Then sure
I want bonfires to cost money
I want it to be
Okay, woolly
You never played dragon's dogma and in dragon's dogma dark arisen they massively
Massively curtailed it but in the original dragon's dogma
You could teleport to one area and it was the main city and that's it
And one of the final upgrades at the very end of the game
Was that you unlocked a teleport stone you could put in one place
And that was it and the fairy stone cost a shit ton of money. It was super expensive. That doesn't sound fun
That it was fucking awesome. That doesn't that it was so good. No, that doesn't sound fun to me
That sounds on let me explain
Let me explain why it was fun. All right, because
The night and day system
Made it so that when you traveled from grand soren up to the tower in the upper right corner of the map
It would take you about half an hour and you had to make decent progress and actually
Do it well because if you took too long it would become night time and all the fucking undead and badass monsters would come out
Okay, but the 15th time that i've i'm doing it
Where i'm just going back to collect some bullshit. I don't care anymore
Playing your trips. Yeah, no
I've proved that I can do it. I know the thing. It's fine. This is just this is just rote busy work. This sucks
That doesn't sound fun at all
There's a number of times you can put that in place to have the the the channel, you know prove whatever but it's like
At a certain point like well, then fuck you then, you know, or I guess it's just don't get the collectible
Maybe that's the answer
Just get whatever you need to get while you're there and then get the fuck out. It's dogma rules. You guys are dumb
Maybe love dragon stock. Maybe hard to say
But I yeah, I haven't played the game
So I don't know but just the way you're describing it if i'm thinking about the number of times
I have to backtrack places to
Do things to collect things to talk to people to do side quests etc
As I would expect of one of these games
Oh, the main thing is that in dragon's dogma you didn't actually backtrack that often
You would make long trips out to areas and a long trip would be a long trip because you could not
Fast travel and then you would come back and then you would make a long trip to a different area
Uh dark arisen the the the re-release they just gave you more of those teleport stones
You could leave all over and then they just gave you a fairy stone that was infinite
So you could fast travel like normal
And it was for pussies and how often did you have to do all cowards?
How often did you have to do the same half hour trek?
The same half hour trek
uh up
To the tower you do it literally once
Up to the upper left of the map you do it
Uh, maybe twice depending if you explore it out there
To the bottom left of the map with the the ogres
Maybe twice
Depends how much you explored like you're you're doing them one
If if you're not exploring and you're just going where the game is telling you once
Okay
Maybe twice
I can't can't tell you till I actually try it, but what you're describing on paper sounds awful
Yeah
Yep
I
Hear I hear it's good. I just you know, but that mechanic the way of doing that
It's like yeah, you can you can make things not a pain in the ass for people. I don't know. Yeah, I guess
That game's super good though. I hope they make a sequel to dragon stock ma that would be rad
Is the journey fun I mean oh it's yeah, it's writing writing my horse through no horse
Okay, no, no, no, but I'm just I'm just saying that there are times when I was playing sushima
And I was like I want to take the long road to that spot instead of teleporting because I enjoy the trek
um
Or you know death stranding where you build your road and then you just you just full on
You know team stir it or alternatively you're like I need to put a zip line up on top of that mountain peak and god damn it
It is a pain in the ass to get up there, but I'm gonna do it
Yeah, and then and then you enjoy your ziplining routes afterwards
um
So, you know if the pathway to to to doing what you're describing if the journey is is fun
Then that's a that makes a huge difference
It's it's it's like the dragon's dogma. It's it's like dark souls made by devil may cry people. It's so good
It's so much fun
Tra- traveling through that game and ain't getting dark is like legit one of the best parts
Of any game I've ever played and the fact that a lot of people didn't get to experience it because
They could just fast travel everywhere is legitimately depressing
Because when you're able to fast travel all over the place, there's no situations in which you can get caught out at dark
And it's the only console game made by a large publisher that has real nighttime
Yeah, like like you have a torch and you cannot see past the edge of your torch period
Like it is pitch
I was gonna say you're just gonna fucking terrifying. I was gonna say what you mean real nighttime. You're just gonna shit on pokemon like that
Yeah, I'm gonna shit on pokemon like that. Yeah
All right
Okay, oh man, I just oh I just got hit with a fucking new story tweet just now that we'll save for later
Oh, hold on. I'm gonna send this to you because that that is wild. Okay
Mm-hmm before that. Hey, what do we do with our weeks? What's up with you? Okay, so yeah, I mentioned it earlier, but um
Uh reggie has has made his way through and uh, yeah, now we're just gonna be
Uh, uh catching up and moving forward, but reggie's completed dark demon souls
Uh, congratulations to him
congratulations reg
and uh
And they old one looks so good in the new engine. Oh man
Oh, it's so gorgeous the birds still don't flap
They still they still just float there
Wally
What if you know how in elden ring? There's the sea of fog they talk about
What if
That big golden tree is where you fight the final boss and the big golden tree falls over
And then the stump opens its mouth and then you go my god
And you're like, oh my god. Yep. It's all it was it was the demon
And then Elsa comes out all time
And spider-man. Yeah, um spider-man's pregnant
So that's that's going to uh
That's going to be that's wrapped up
And uh, you know, we will have a slot to to to fill
momentarily, uh, I'll get into that in a second, but um
This week I
Played a bunch of neo. So
Still working my way through that
a week before too
Um, and uh, yeah, I'm planning I'm planning to you know, I want I want to get through it
I I want to jump into two and in order to do so I want to finish off one
and I have now gotten back into the rhythm of like
Managing the the 50 billion items you pick up permission
and managing the rares and handling the blacksmith and soul forging and and uh, uh, um
Refashioning and all of that stuff. Yep. Yep. Yep. I'm like, yep. I remember now
Right re-roll. I want my I want these particular stats. I want these particular abilities
um
map like I said like I said mapping all those special little things as you unlock your your
Uh, uh, your your samurai points your ninja points your onmeo points
Uh, and then we never even talked about the clan system that you you eventually unlock
I don't even know what you're talking about. There is a clan system that you join one of all the different
Uh prefectures in japan all have a clan
And you join and then each one gives you specific benefits
Give give you specific things you can trade in for specific rewards
And then you can also spend glory points
To glamour yourself up as other characters in the game if you wanted to
Or get access to specific random high quality weapons
gestures
Oh, that's how you change your appearance
Okay, uh, there is a whole and and of course
Uh, most importantly clan battles
So there's the you join a team and then you all have to compete
For you know, there's daily and monthly
The pseudo online networking competition going on for your clan points. It's madness. It's fucking madness, dude
The game just like it's all the it's all the menus and like technicality and like
Subsystems you'd expect of something like championship manager
But then there's just an action game there to an action game. Yeah
It's it like take away the action game and you would still spend all of your time on a map
Going into sub menus changing things managing points handling shit
But also here's this high-end action game
Fucking crazy, but uh, yeah still enjoying having fun
um
You know difficulty is is
Uh, uh, it catches back up to you and and it has a number on each mission
I forgot about that. It's straight up tells the level. Yeah, it's like you should be this level approximately
So you you know what you're heading into
Um, and if you want to go and and face like shit. That's way above you. You're gonna suffer and it is what it is
Uh, you've got like
The the entire like also like uh co-op with a friend or to fight somebody randomly
And all that shit like there's a whole multiplayer the whole multiplayer menu that I just I never bothered with it
I I never really did anything with it. But like that's there if you're if you're looking for that
I mean it it just it's uh
It is a bottomless well
To fall into and you have to draw a line in the sand the kind of thing
Where you get exactly as much out as you want to put in
Yes, absolutely. There's tons to put in absolutely
um
And like you're and there's you're just your inventory
Like you do like five missions and your inventory is like
hundreds of
Soar of weapons armors and consumables deep
You know and for consumables even like you map eight
You know to your your quick
70 unique types of
You're mapping you're mapping eight from your
Replenishable ninjutsu
On mio or like full full consumables to the thing
But there's like yeah, there's a list of
Fucking hundreds that you're going through
Um, you've got your equipment of which there's five things on your body
And then you've got your two weapons. You got your two
Uh, you know long range and then you have your two charms
And your charms are pretty variable as well and you want to change your charms out depending on what kind of boss you're gonna fight
Um
Okay hundreds is perhaps an exaggeration, but there's a lot it feels it feels like a lot. Um
And of course, uh, when you go to the blacksmith you can forge items buy items sell items
Uh, there's special finds and discoveries sometimes
There's like the fact that the subsystems have a
A like intelligent selection system where it's like go to the sub menu of armors
Select everything that is uncommon or
Less valuable in rarity and sell those only and you can put on a warning that says hey
This item is pretty good. Are you sure you want to sell it?
And you can say yes or skip all or whatever just shows you how much menu managing they expect
you know
It's a lot but i'm i'm not complaining because it's
You know, it's optional. You can just pick up the big shiny number put it on and keep swinging
Uh, based on something somebody in chat said I went to the neo 2 for extra life and discovered that neo 2
has
Dozens of mechanics
relegated entirely to new game plus
Oh
Oh
man
Oh, yeah
yeah
Like it adds new types of items to the loot pool that do all sorts of stupid shit
Neo 1 complaints that I hope they fix in 2 when you glamor something
You can't see what it looks like on your body until you finish the process
You can only see it
Or although like okay, you can put the thing
Itself that you're choosing on your body, I guess
But like in the menu while you're going through it quickly. You're just not getting a quick reference point
So like to see how things match together for fashion souls
You know, it took a while to like do it slowly. They fixed it. Yay
Oh boy people people are telling me now that
Not only are there global changes in the o2 to new game plus
But also to new game plus plus and new game plus plus sure sure
Sure
Yeah, it's too much
Also the way we don't talk about it often
But it's like the way some of the levels are built as well
Some levels are very short and small and are meant to just be like endurance encounters
But some of them are long and winding
and create
nightmare funnel like
brain
Problems because like you will hit right nightmare funnel brain problem
Because like for example, uh, you will hit
Uh a a a a door
Or a pathway and it'll open up and then it leads you
to three potential
pathways
Right it forks into three
And then like one of those forks leads you above so you can see everything
And one of those forks leads you to another set of forks
Yeah
And then the one that's above will then let you run on the rooftop of a building
And see that like okay the forks that are coming
are
Like two of them are dead ends
But two of them are connected
And one of them goes off in a distance that you can't tell and then there's another two doors
In one of those dead end spots while you're on the roof of the fork from the fork
And then there's another path that goes the other way entirely and then there's a safe point there
Because they they split the difference between like this is a fucking combat room
Mm-hmm
And then there's the this is a this is like a floor of sense fortress
They will like yeah
Now however to its credit
Once you find your shrine like bonfire thing and you start further on in the map or whatever
um
You always do have a it's not quite a map
But it is a like sonar radar blip indicator
It's kind of weird that shows you where points of interest are
If you're nearby you'll see an enemy dot and there will always be an objective
Vague direction dot on the edge of it that you move towards
So it's not a detailed map, but it's just a bit of a sonar system
That you can work your way towards you know
Even though like it's quite rare that you see it on the the dot on the map
And you're like oh, I can just walk there in a straight line
No, no you can't furthermore if you're doing like a a alternate version of a mission
Sometimes you kill the the objective in a random house in a random location
And then the exit to the map
Spawns there on that body, but you're not finished exploring so you go back and explore everything
But then you have to make your way back to that one specific room in that one specific house
To exit, you know, so there's there's just a lot happening in the end
Yeah, and
also
Most of the bosses are pretty rad
But I've definitely fought at least one that sucks ass
Which one's that it's a giant water monster
and
It is not at that far and it's and it's less of a
Monster or human being that you're dodging and swinging at and it's more of a like
uh occasional
You can hit me every once in a while, but I'm a giant kaiju size thing
And I'm I'm I'm gonna just shoot shit at you and every once in a while. I'll slam a hand down that you can swing at
Oh, it's that stupid fucking thing that attacks the boat. Yeah, that's seen exactly
You fight that eventually
Oh this
It's a shit boss. It sucks does not look great
It eventually lands on the stage and then you can swing at it
While there's ads and the ads suck
But
Like while the body is there
You can either have a really shit time trying to get up in its face while it can do instant murder beams
Or you can wait to swing in its hands. Yeah, it's it's just not it's not a good boss
It's like an ocarina of time boss. Yeah, you can definitely speed it up by like
grabbing fire
and and and like
You know trying to to sort of rush its face, but you're you can but like when you're swinging at its body
It's kind of at the edge of a up here where you can fall off quite easily. Oh, yeah
So it's a it's pretty awkward to take big swings at that point
Um, I gotta say it's kind of wild
It it makes me want to rush through neo one because every single time you talk about anything about neo one
I look over and see literally five people go. Yeah, neo two fixed. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah exactly exactly
Um that and to beef like that's the stinker of the bunch the rest have been really fun solid
You know fights 1v1s
um
That one had bad design and also adds to deal with and it just was like boo, but yeah
um
Why not simply skip to two because I want to enjoy one because I am
Enjoying it. There's a lot of good things in one and I want to enjoy them
I if I skip to two i'm gonna be missing what's good about one
Yeah, and because they're so similar and two has so much more content like
You're not gonna go back to one once you start playing two
Yeah, so you you you get one out of the way
I'm just I'm talking about like a particular thing that you know was like added like that
but I'm fucking loving every other moment of it and uh, I'm
You know, I'm I'm trying. I'm not gonna go into super detail on all the other bosses, but they're really good
There's a lot of a lot of fun to be had there
I love the fact that you can choose to
Go do the corpse run or just say fuck it
give me my my um
spirit animal back
And I'll try to build it. It's it's meter. It's uh
Meter up. I didn't have shit on that corpse. Anyway, it's exactly
Right, there's a consumable that lets you get it back with your with your amrita with your souls if you would
But you can basically just be like, yeah, fuck it. No. No, just give me it back. I want the power instead, you know
um, that's a nice option to have
uh leveling up
Definitely is is uh
I don't want to I might I don't I haven't used a guide at all for like leveling up advice or anything
But like I'm thinking I might consider it because I'm wondering what some of the soft caps are
I'm looking at some things and it feels as if they're I'm gonna get diminishing returns
Versus soft caps are all really low. There's feels like it feels like it because uh
I'm running a kusari gamma and I'm getting like
like uh to a point where
You know, it's like
Upgrading my dexterity is giving me one point of extra damage on my kusari gamma
And it's like if I give myself skill points, I'll be getting three. So why am I even fucking with that, you know
Anyway, neo continues to be fucking rad. Um
Small little note, but uh teppen got updated recently
and uh
They added some new stuff and some new characters
And something that was kind of well, here's what's kind of interesting a little bit. The story's never been anything fantastic
It's been just kind of this whatever bit. Yeah, no, it's it's a crossover cross over nonsense, right?
Well, but you you played it a little bit, right?
I did play it a little bit. Okay. So remember there's that mysterious woman who's like leading everyone to the land of illusion
No, okay. There's this mysterious
cloaked woman
Who's leading everyone to the land of illusion and she's been doing so got it from the moment the game launched and you're like
Uh, she's tricking everyone to go fight. She's basically planting seeds to be like, hey Dante
Go fucking fight this this morrigan chick and Ryu you you want to got it overcome your powers?
Yeah, land of illusions. The y'all it's the best go go check it out
anyway, um
turns out that was Ada Wong the whole time
And she is now playable in the game
That is so stupid. Oh my god
Holy shit. She was she was playing
She was she was covered up in a in a robe
playing a mysterious unknown character
And secretly it's been Ada Wong manipulating everybody in the background. That is
Legitimately like hyper terrible. That is so bad
Oh man, I love it. Hey, what the fuck off? That's fine
And then she so she's doing some deals
Where she obviously had to betray wesker and now she's basically doing she has some some plans
With some otherworldly set of glowing red eyes
I'm sure
You know, um, so we'll find out what the point of that is but um
Um
Yeah, uh, the the the new content has appeared in the game
uh, Ada is now playable
And uh, she has a pretty interesting
um
deck style
So again, I don't lies
um
It's it's
Okay, so first of all the event
is called a dark agenda
And then the the the first letters are all capitalized
So a da
But I'm seeing it's her regular costume from four but with the with a tattered cloak on it. Yeah, so
Exactly. So she tosses off the tattered cloak when the fight starts, right?
um
Anyway, so her her her cards are
A lot of her cards are like
When you play this card or when you put this on the on the field
It'll lock one of her slots for 10 seconds and then unlock it
And then when a slot gets unlocked
Something in her deck gets buffed really strong
So like urian is like one of her cards urian will get buffed for every time a card gets unlocked for example
um
It's it's a unique thing the game hasn't had up until now like temporary locking of fields in order to
You know get get buffs out of that
And alongside eta is strider
Who's not playable as a full character, but a bunch of strider based themed cards are are now playable
um
One of which is really cool. It's striders basic card, which is a
uh
You know, it's a it's a normal card that has decent stats and it attacks very quickly
And every time it does it summons option a option b or option c
Which will either give you
Flying agility or shield and do a little bit of damage to whatever you're attacking. So like it is it's absolutely like striders little pets
Coming in the bird the the the panther or the um
the floating little pod, you know
and uh
Yeah, i'm like, hey, it's another one of those like fun implementations of a character's
Method of fighting into their card mechanic, you know, I'm watching this trailer. This is so aggressively fucking stupid
What's wrong with eta being the final big secret?
What's wrong with like there's this footage of her going oh the baby puppet was super easy to control and it shows her like
Having hacked a goddamn fucking doctor light capsule
Yeah, fucking lied a mega man through like Jesus shit
And then she beats zero and then shuts him down and this this the exact fucking
Stupid crossover shit and then she steals an orb from a palico
And she's like my ambition is nearly complete
But about strider like
Even as a giant reasonable mark dude striders should have been the fucking character. Yep
They fucked up
They fucked up by not making strider the playable totally
I don't I I don't like strider as much as eta
And striders should have totally been the new playable character. There's already multiple reasonable characters. Yep, right? There's besker and uh
Someone else I'm sure jill
Jill yeah, fuck it. That's stupid
Now eight is great
But like yeah, and I I'm I'm you know, absolutely gonna go for
Representation from a different franchise. They put in like the last character was like a senku goku basara girl
And I was like, yeah, I guess I mean, I don't got it. It's not a franchise
Whatever you could get one you get one. That's fine
It'd be really cool if they released any of those games over here
Oh, yeah, well because apparently they're pretty good
What about devil kings?
What about devil kings?
remember how the font
looked like devil may cry
No, I don't remember anything about devil kings. Okay
Well the font for devil kings looked like the font for devil may cry
I refuse your insinuation that I would know something about devil kings
Shame on you. Oh, yeah, so that's what's happening in tap n
um
Taking a look over there. I played some stuff this week. I played
On the channel we did get into fighting games for hellish court
or hellish cart is uh
The way the producers pronounced it in the video, but it looks like it's court q u art
Uh and this is a sword fighting
game that is um following I would say spiritual successor to
the
deadliest warrior games
I'm seeing it now. I can see what you exactly what you mean
They're great
They're very very good. Um the deadliest warrior games were a lot of fun back in the day
I think we did yeah, we did a fisticust for them and uh, this is now kind of physics-based same kind of energy
Reposts parries you have a couple of different directions to swing your sword in you have to get an opening and no life bar
You either
Take hits and like lose
Like like your your some of your limbs go lame or your your legs get weak if you get stabbed
Or you just get stabbed and die most of the hits are what hit kills
So a little bit of that machito blade blade in here. Absolutely. Absolutely tons of fun. Um
The multiplayer mode literally when you go to it in game, it says just load up parsec, bro
It straight up tells you how to install parsec and use it
So, uh weird they're they they're gonna integrate parsec. They're saying but for now. That's what you got
Uh, but yeah, it is a
game being made by apparently former
Witcher devs or a former witcher dev
I believe so it is taking place in 17th century
polish commonwealth
History and it's going to include, you know, people, um, um, french musketeers and
Spanish fighters as well, uh, you got a lot of
Uh, traditional
Curved sword play. You've got a long sword in there. You've got a rapier
Really fun stuff and and the the main thing is rapiers are cool, man
They they are but they have their weaknesses, you know, then you stabby stab good with them
But if you can't stab then good luck, you might just die
Um, what if I stabbed though and it's one of those games where they got a bunch of like
Realistic they got a bunch of real swordfighter people to look at it and go. Yeah. No, that's what that looked like
That's how you did it
So take that out. That's stupid. That's not uh, yeah, and and and in the end they're kind of like no, this is this is pretty solid like you have
um, so you have like, yeah, uh, uh, uh
Uh, hold out to block and like kind of like track parry
Your your opponents moves a little bit
But if they do fakes, it's not going to be intelligent enough to deal with that so you have to repost properly
Um, you've got, you know, the different directions left and right high left and right low that you can swing the sword in
And then you have up close a grab which is
Instant death if you land it grab and stab. Yeah, uh, or you can use your offhand to
Knock their hand away
So if you're within the range to do so and they're swinging at you
You can like just tap their blade to the side or their hand to the side as you would do if you were shieldless fighting
And just get into like some really ugly
Like you're swinging at me instead of tinging my sword off of yours
I'm gonna just grab your wrist and be like fuck you
And then stab you that works. That's a that's a thing, you know, and I'm like, yeah, okay
So they work that in mechanically as well and in the end it's um, it's really solid. Um
Now the the the jank level is certainly present
This is an early access game and it's very much
Looking like you're fighting with unreal characters and in unreal fields
Uh, however, uh, I I definitely
Love the fact that like it it feels it's just as fun as those deadless warrior games were, you know, it's really really, uh
It feels tight
You can see where you fuck up you can you have moments of like, yeah
I was in I was at the tip of the rapier
I need to be inside because the rapier loves to stab, you know, and if you move past that you can
fucking
You know, you can you can get to work
Uh, I have my character is a bell. She was using a long sword and she was just like crushing it
You can go into you know what it ends up feeling like it ends up feeling like an elaborate version of a nidhog fight
Ha ha
Yeah, I can see it you're switching between like high and low stances
You're you're you're doing fakes
Um, because any any any action you do you can press back to like back to like faint it
You know, or you can follow up a low with like a high or like one side with another and in a lot of cases
there will be a seamless like
Like the the the the way the arm travels will seamlessly go from like curving across a low over to a high if you want to
Follow up with a side. They're not guarding in a way. So, um, man, dude
Nidhogg was so fucking great. I wish they'd made a sequel to it. Hmm. They added like more weapons and more stages
Yeah, well, hey, this ain't quite a sequel to nidhog. It's it's not like this is a nidhog 2 or anything
But this is that's unfortunately not a thing that exists
but this is uh, uh
Something that is still fun in the same veins and I would definitely recommend people go check it out if you're looking for some
uh
realistic sword fighting fun
When you go to training mode, they even use little wooden swords and like just kind of stab each other and go like, oh, you got me
Ha ha ha, you know
So, uh, hellish court
is the name of the game
now
Because the game is in early access and I figured we'd have some time
I said, hey reggie, why don't we check out something else that's getting
Lot of lot of hot word on the street talk about it this week
And yeah, uh, that's a game called infinite versus
Now infinite versus has a subtitle and that subtitle is 3d mugen
And all right, uh, I I encourage you to go to twitter and just type the words infinite versus
into the search bar
And just check out some of the videos that are popping up
Uh
Showing you some of the tech this game has to offer look at that. I'm gonna go type in infinite versus
3d mugen sure enough. Yeah, superman versus spider man
Now if you were to see the result if you were to see
nomu from my hero academia
stomping out
Ultra instinct goku with his sixth low punch or low kick
That would be correct. You found the right game. Yeah
So this fucking thing, right? Oh, it looks like 3d mugen. All right
This fucking thing you boot it up and you go to the steam page for it
and
Like here. Let me see if I can fucking find it and send it to you. All right
Like I'm watching this footage. It's real fucking jank. I love this crap. This looks like fucking trash
But here's what kasame attacked iron man with the with the the blade with the teeth on it
Here's what's important though. I'm gonna send you a link. This is the page on steam
Go go to the steam page
Take a look at some of those screenshots
and and
Tell me what you see
Tell me what kind of characters you see
I
See the same two or three generic characters. You sure do have
Because when you don't have any copyright problems in them at all and all the stages
Are unreal hire this man stages
With hire this man lighting
Mountain or forest backdrops exactly with generic music
So you boot the game up and there is nothing infringing at all in it. It's a unique fighting game a little bit of infringement
With unique assets characters and music and stages doing its own thing
However, then how do I get boros from?
One punch man to fight darth ball like in the video i'm watching right now
Well, if you thought that you would have to go to the steam workshop you would be wrong
Because in game there is a mod menu
Oh my god, but in that mod menu in game
It's pretty much just a series of switches that turn on
every character
That includes this goku superman
fucking
Eren yager
berserker kirito versus goju sataru gilgamesh
all might
spider-man iron man
all of it all of it
and and uh
You just you just you click the button and now they're in the game and while you're at it. You can also download the
Tekken 7 smash brothers or fexel soundtrack
this
feels
like it is like
Straddling the line
Until it digs in it's amazing like this game is going to get killed next week because it is
Like it's doing that thing where it's like nudging a lawyer going. Well, we're not technically
Fringing and somebody's gonna go shut up
So you can't even uninstall the characters mods once you install them
That's that's even stupider
Um
I used to talk about back in the day a quake mod called bid for power that was dragon ball put into quake 3
The reason why this is noteworthy is because
They got shut down by infogrames who eventually became Atari at the time
and they
put out a bunch of arcura toriyama inspired characters
Into bid for power and it then became an original game
With toriyama like characters in them and then suddenly a zip file
Appeared mysteriously on the internet that just modded all the dragon ball characters back into the game
Oh, it's mysterious. No idea where it came from
Oh, where they are. How could that happen? That's just there you go, right now. This is that same energy except
They didn't even bother to separate it from the game
It's a menu you go to
um
Now as far as gameplay is concerned the name infinite versus is very apt not only because of the branding of
infinite brands coming together to fight each other
But because the only way to play the game is to find the infinite that your character has
Because every character has at least two or three
infinites in them
And you are stuck holding them
There's one burst system that you can use to get out of it
But otherwise you press one of your three buttons and then you just keep pressing it and that's the end of that
The round is over
Oh, wow, that's so good
uh
It's the best so we dove in this is like
The novelty made flesh
We had a good ass time playing this this thing and we checked it out
But the last the last most important detail that you need to understand about infinite versus 3d mugen
is that
It introduces the world
to a next level
Netcode called blitz netcode
Oh god, that's where that fucking shit came from and if you think for a fucking second
That this shitty rollback world we live in is going to take over and become the new standard
You need to fucking sit out and shut up
You're about to learn
about blitz netcode
proprietary of this it is absolute like
It's it's fucking
proprietary netcode
For infinite versus
The game is free, but you have to pay the 15 or 20 bucks to get access to the online
Now how does it work? Is it like the real man's world? You wouldn't be wrong if you guessed it's a little bit like ringo road again
um
Here here from the page
It describes how is blitz netcode different from rollback?
It is fundamentally different because rollback
and delay based netcode
um
Always feature delays, but the input delay for blitz netcode is always zero
Unlike delay based on rollback blitz netcode doesn't require both players to be completely in sync
These are some issues with synchronous online gameplay
Games add in long artificial input delays to keep the game in sync
The game will always be locked at 60 fps
If your computer hitches below 60 fps, the entire game will slow down for you and your opponent
Any network lag may cause your opponent to teleport to the correct location and visual artifacts
So that it goes on to explain
that uh
The problem is that
These other games are trying to synchronize the two players and that's bad
Blitz netcode uses low latency dedicated servers
uh instead of peer to peer
and
By relying on that
They can allow you to have a seamless netplay experience where you don't have to worry about being in sync with the other player
It's perfect zero input delay to you
On your computer and that's what matters
Doesn't matter what they're experiencing
You have zero input delay
And that's blitz netcode, baby
If you press the button and you get an input immediately and they press the button and get an input immediately
What's the problem?
Yeah, it's
Makes sense
It is it is works for me netcode. That's correct. Yep. Oh my god
I remember reading that and just like
Like every single line is like this doesn't make any sense. This literally doesn't make any sense
Who says you need to be synced up? You know
Kind of reminds me of um
When we were so it's just inputting the inputs when they get them
synchronization be damned
Hey, you and your inputs are always zero frame zero input
So if I knock a guy down, but on his end he was doing an srk
He'll do the srk motion on the ground for me
and
Thus won't do an srk and then the first inputs that come out will be the ones that he does. Oh my god
It's such a mess, but your inputs are always zero
That's all that matters
You have no lag whatsoever
Never mind them. Don't worry about them
You're you're literally fighting like a ghost of the person from a few seconds ago. Oh man
Yeah, um
I mean i'm i'm almost reminded of like back in the day we were uh
In the in the qa days. There was a game in the office called rock revolution
which was um
konami's answer to
Rock band and the guitar hero games
It was pretty guitar into that, right? It was pretty sad and it had the triangle shaped drum set and shit
um, however
Uh, it advertised itself as having uh, multi player
features on the box
and in in
In reality, it turns out that the multiplayer feature was
Upload your score online
and then
See what your friend scores are
And then challenge them to beat your score
Uh-huh
And that's multiplayer
That's that's multiplayer right there
There's multiple people and they're all players. Yep
Uh
Man, yep, yep, so infinite versus
Uh get into fighting games is gonna be coming out
Real soon keep uh keep an eye for that
It's it's it's powerful. It's powerful stuff
I bet you this coasts
For a while you think it's gonna get sniped. I bet you this fucking coasts
because
the footage
on twitter
Is nothing but copyright nightmares
But once you go and download the product on steam
And if they get any complaints all they have to do is just hit the button that says mod mod menu off
And that's it talking about
Like those are users submitted on their infinite versus website
We just yeah, we just not just kill those. Those aren't ours. Those are nothing
Fuck it
You know, they've separated it nicely and neatly
Also, I played a star wars fighting game a couple weeks ago. That's been around for over a year now
so
Like you'd be surprised
Fair enough. They're not always on the fucking, you know on the ball
Uh
Yeah
So that that
Was basically the deal. Um
Be sure to tune in to woolly versus on youtube and on twitch
To to see more of that to see getting to fighting games hellish court
um
and yeah since uh
We're in a new a new week of new content awaits us. We're going to be having a bunch of uh
A whole new schedule in fact so
New lp starting tomorrow
I'll just just to be fully transparent
What I wanted to do around now and what I've been kind of hoping I was hoping that we would
Land right around we'd finish demon souls right around the time that um
Disco Elysium dropped but unfortunately it's not out yet
They didn't specify a release date because
They said march
We'll let you know
TB mark similar bizarre holding pattern. Yes
Where I'm like disco
So
We got we got some time to kill until then
So in the meantime, we're gonna do some other stuff
Uh, and and thanks for everyone who um filled out the poll on the channel
And and I was able to take some notes and do some
Calculations and figure a couple things out. So uh this week on tuesday, we will be starting arkham asylum
Oh, man finally, uh, then
On wednesday, we'll be starting
Like a dragon yak is a seven
quick look
And by quick look, I mean 13 hours
So the first 13 hours of gameplay
They're asking you for 13 hours. That's uh about how long it takes to open up amount of time
That's how about about that should be about as long as it takes to open up
That is so specific. That's so weird. So we're gonna be doing that for a little bit
And then on thursday, uh, so I
Didn't mention this on the podcast uh at any point, but some time ago
I felt like going back to Sekiro for myself when uh all the hullabaloo was was not out and about and just playing and kind of uh
You know doing it on my own at my own pace and I did and I kind of went yeah
We can pick it up and keep this going. So we're going to be jumping back into Sekiro on thursday
And we're going to be finishing it off from where we left off
Uh, and that's going to be the week
New schedule new shit. Well, I'm I'm glad you're going back to Sekiro because that final boss is the shit
I mean, I definitely did uh
see
So I the I originally uh
Went the
Forsaking route and then saw the fight with
You know
Uh, what's her face and then cool dude
Yeah, so that I uh this time it's going to load back from that point, but I think I'm I can go for the extended
outro
So I think I can go for the non forsaking path and then
Uh, do it the other way instead
Which is another couple hours. I know
There's uh, there's some there's some stuff you can do
If you're willing to mess around with your save files because there's different final bosses for almost every
uh route
um, and
You could I I managed to all of them by making sure that my saves did not progress by uploading them to the cloud
Yeah, so what happened is when I when I made my backup to the cloud
I then copied over my shit to the ps5
Which migrated some stuff, but didn't keep my my my cloud save for some reason
Um, so then when I booted it up and I started playing I went forward
Uh, and then when I decided you know what fuck it. Let's let's play it on stream again
I went back to the ps4 and I took the old save and I put it on a usb stick
So yeah, I have a physical backup of the decision point that I can use to go
Wherever the game needs to and not have to do the full thing. So that's that's uh,
That's what we got
So yes, uh weak of of big new shit going down on woolly versus
Tune in come have some fun. We're having a good time
Also play sub or dub. Well the the end result was 49 to 51
and my personal
Uh bias and interest wants sub
However, I'm
The fact that it's this much of a fight of and he wants sub too
The fact that it's this much of a fight
is
not
Going without notice
And I'm hearing that not only is the quality impeccable, but there's some shit. That's legitimately
Hilarious. You told me this but other people. Yeah did indicate similar things, but it's also a yakuza game, right?
So
This is a this is a quick look as it were, but it's not really that quick. It's a couple sessions
I don't mind jumping around back and forth. So I'm going to be mixing it up
I'm going to be that's weird, but I get it. I'm going to be trying out both
um
so uh
A fun fact that just came out is ichiban's voice actor in japan
Is currently playing through like a dragon dubbed
And talking about it on twitter
Which is fucking weird
um
But the main thing that I have to tell to you woolly
is that
I had a similar situation where I asked people sub versus dud. I got a little bit closer. I got 60 40. Okay
And subs one my yeah, uh, no dubs one dubs one, okay
Yeah, and my advice to you is that
remember
Always remember whenever you ask the people the question
Remember that one guy who told us the biggest truth ever
Which was I voted for this game
But I'll admit I'll watch the first three episodes and then never come back a million percent
And that's why my personal vote counts for 51 percent of the actual vote
Like like when I I when I put that poll up
I was like I have decided to do dubs in my heart
Yes, and the only way I would have gone for subs is if it was like 85 percent above
So for me, I decided to do subs in my heart
Uh, and again and the fact and you know v agreed as well
But the fact that people are like no, but there's some legitimately hilarious like readings
And I'm like, okay the level of fight for dubs in the comments
It was all it was all dub talk in the vote. It was it was almost 50 50
So I'm like, you know what I'll jump I'll I'll do both because it's in um,
Tsushima, I did switch over to the english for a while
We did like two or three sessions in english and then came back to japanese
And I was like, okay cool
It was nice to see into you know to get the feel for it in the end
The lip syncing was the the biggest thing a lot of the biggest issue a lot of people had with it
But I didn't so um
In this particular case, I don't know if lip syncing is a thing
But so
Uh
No lip syncing is is consistent between both. Okay. Okay. Awesome. Like it works. Awesome. Um
The other thing is that I think I ran a twitter poll beforehand as well and that was much more even
And it's like, aha
Because remember the comments the comment vote
Doesn't necessarily mean they're there. I for your own personal use. I would actually recommend running
A stream poll
10 minutes beforehand. Yeah, just to see how it shakes out
It doesn't hurt that apparently it's it's hijiyama as well
Who um 13 sentinels
Oh, yeah, it totally is hijiyama. You're right. It's kaiji tang. So
Uh, that sounds you already know that dude knows good knows how to do good himbo
Yeah, so yeah, I'm I'm down. I'm down to try it all and see what's up, you know
Which is uh, what what this?
Uh quick look should be
So that's going down
And yeah, uh arkham, which
For some reason, uh, is not playable on ps5
Really? Yeah, so it turns out stupid. Yeah, so i'm like, oh, let's just go to the shop
Type in arkham. See what we get and it's like arkham collection
Return to arkham
Arkham origin. Nope. Fuck you not doesn't work
So i'm like, what are my choices here and your choices are the original ps3 game
uh, the steam version of the 2009 game or
Uh, you know grab your ps4, I suppose and for and then I was like wait, but what about the physical and stuff?
And it's like, yeah, no, you it's not one of the back one of the backwards compatible games of the remake from
2016 or whatever
2018 I think anyway, whatever the remake of arkham asylum is not one of the ps5 compatible games
So
Yeah
So yeah pc versions easy to run nowadays
Uh, if you try to buy it on the shop, it'll it'll literally be like nah, don't fucking
You know, don't do it and I think I read that if you have the physical disc you can pop it in and
it will
run
But like and you can get an un you can get an unpatched version of the game that unlocks that that unlocks the frame rate
um
Or someone got something like that in a in a reddit thread, but you cannot actually
Digitally purchase the game for your ps5
So, uh
Anyway, um
So that's that's that's what we're basically going to be doing
um
From what I can when I looked on steam. I only saw the original version. I didn't see the remake on steam
so
Now to be fair
This remake of arkham asylum. Yes re-release like remaster a remaster. I guess
But the naming conventions suck
because the whole thing is like
um
Like there's like it's like instead of just calling it like arkham asylum or whatever the fuck
It's all under the like arkham knight return to arkham
like return to arkham nomenclature
and then arkham city and
arkham
asylum are both
Like underneath the category of arkham knight there weirdly, you know, um, so
Yeah, it was just it was a little bit confusing and then I just went to the what the fuck the p the pc version never got the
The re-release and the re-release has like new lighting
Yeah, yeah when I looked on steam the re-release wasn't there. It was only the old one
That's fucking so stupid
So I just I but I plugged in the ps4 and I put it on and I downloaded the collection on that
And then I'll just I'll be playing the ps4
re-release version
What a fucking weird mess
Yep
Why is it gotta be oh wow this bed that new lighting is not good
Here we go, all right, so half-life
Half-life again
Okay, all right. All right. So what are we doing here? We play in 2009
This is this is what we're doing. I don't know. Yeah, I was just looking at screenshots
All right, well anyway
um
That's happening starting tomorrow and then the new shit's going down. So
That's tomorrow. Fuck great time to be second guessing this shit. No, I just I don't I
I don't want to fucking
This is later. Well, I'm not doing this now. I'm not fucking doing this now
All right, it's it's whatever game game old. I'm not
I fucking hate this shit. You should just play it on the ps3 dude. You should just not play it. How about that?
I hate this whatever this type of bullshit happens where it's like, no, it's fine. No, it's not new think that
And it's like there's just no like consensus on like damn
I can't just go back and grab the the the the the thing that's there that I could it was already
That's it sucks. It fucking sucks. I hate it. It's so annoying. Anyway
Uh
It's going down. All right one way or another
And then the other things we talked about are going down. So that's what we versus. What's up
What's up, uh, can I actually get a a couple minute break to use the restroom and I need to check on something? Sure
No problem. Let's do that. BRP
Okay, so
There we are back
And hey, I got no pee in my dick now. Good. So hooray for me. Good. Good. That's that's a good
Um, yeah, so any anyway, uh, I guess I guess just to
Put a pin in it. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go I'm gonna look and I'm gonna see
Which one I want to do based on its appearance
And then I'll make a decision and then that'll be that and then
uh
I'll just have to we'll just have to get complaints in every episode
Depending on which one I go with and then that'll be that's right and that'll be that every single time
But I'm going with the one I'm going with the one I want to I will go look at both
I just assumed the remake would have been better
But if it's not I will make a decision tonight executive and then we're fucking gonna go with that and that'll be the end of it
Um, hey, let me ask let me ask you a question. Mm-hmm
You ever be wandering around your house?
And your fiance is like
Can you open this bottle for me and you're like, yeah, I got this
And then you open the bottle no problem and you're like, yeah, I'm a big man
Okay, well
Yes, except this morning when a package came
To with an envelope to open and I was like sitting up in an awkward angle
So the blood wasn't flowing properly
So then my arms were really weak and when you have weak hands you can't really like do things
So like I had that weird thing where I was trying to open the envelope and then I couldn't and it was like flopping
Really badly
And then she took it and then walked away and then she like cut it open and then tossed it back at me
Is this letter opener johns?
Have you never had that weird thing where there's like really bad blood flow? I have
I have strong manly hands that can crush all things
Every every once in a while like rare very rarely
But I have had times in my life where like the blood doesn't flow properly to my arms
And I feel like they're on the way to becoming numb
So like that weird kind of like pins and needles. He kind of feeling is like it creates like this
Is this a type of ailments
For the tall
No, what it it's been throughout my whole life
I'd say every every every once in a while if you like if you just okay
You know when like your arm falls asleep because you're like leaning on it or your legs fall asleep
So sometimes so sometimes when you're in a position where your arms fall asleep
You then have trouble using them until you get the blood flowing again
And that's it. It's everyone. Everyone has fuck off. Everyone has had limbs fall asleep
And then when you feel weird limbs feeling asleep, it's awkward to do things until it feels normal again. That's it
I'm not gonna have this become some sort of stupid fucking bit because everyone's gonna pretend their limbs don't fall asleep
Each shit my limbs fall asleep
But only when I lean on them not when they're just flopping a boot
Yeah, no not standing around normally
But I'm saying if you if you're leaning on them like I said
At an awkward angle or even like sitting on the toilet too long
Sometimes my legs will fall asleep
You know, oh, yeah, no you're you're my whole my whole asshole down becomes a numb wasteland
Yeah, turlet everyone has so just my limbs were my fucking arm was like, you know
arms were like all like weird and gooey and
Pins and needles and I and like before the blood could squeeze back into them. I was like, oh my god
I can't even fucking I can't hold things. I can't open things and then
And then later on, you know the blood squeezed back in so I
I have a question for you then
Why don't you always just can have a handy dandy box cutter at all on you at all times so that you could cut open boxes and or letters
And or defend yourself
Well, that's because I actually have
Uh four knives strategically placed nearby
Each of my setups for that exact opening purpose
Uh, that's true here. It's not within arm's reach, but it's about four seconds away
For getting the the you're forgetting the personal knife
Yeah, I I you know what I did. I suppose I did I am near the kitchen though
So the personal life could be literally anything right over there
But um, there are many knives planted around the house for specific letter opening purposes
You don't know when somebody from bel canada is going to show up at your door. Well
You need to scare him away
I'm pretty sure cough would do it nowadays. I'm pretty sure those dudes rock chain mail these days
Underneath the bell fucking jumper
But yeah page can't open like a regular bottle of water. I gotta open the water for it's funny
I feel like a big guy
And what happens when you can't open it
I
Uh
I uh
Fake being distracted by something in a different room
And then walk into a different room and they go
And then I I come out and be like, oh, yeah, it was no problem
I mean, it's either that or it goes in the garbage like it's
It's one or the other, you know, you can't be defeated
By a by a container of food
You know what I should try right? I should try saying honey. I'm really sorry
I was I was sitting down and I leaned back and my arms just fell asleep and had no strength in my arms
Yes, there you go. What happens?
Get get get you see I'm just a I'm just a floppy arm man
Sitting such a way that you have like a sharp angle on like your part of your body that cuts off the blood flow
You know similar to the way I don't know if you can see me on camera
I don't think there's a sharp part of my body left. Well except for that one part. No, no, no, no
No, I mean a sharp object in contact with your body
For example, the reason why your legs fall asleep on the toilet is because of the edge of the toilet seat
The reason why you fall your arm falls asleep when you lean on it is because your head is pushing the weight down and cutting the blood off
So lean up against like the edge of a couch or a chair in a way that it'll it'll cut off the blood flow
And then let your arms get all tingly and then be like, yeah, I can't do it
I'd like to point out however that the blood flow
Part of this discussion is complete nonsense and is not real and has never been real
It's about pinching your nerves. It has nothing to do with blood flow. Oh, I didn't know that
I thought it was I thought it was blood. Okay. That's why you get that's why because the traditional thing was like
Well, the blood isn't there so you can't feel your nerves and then the blood innervates the nerves again
So it works. It's like, no, it's just you're pinching a nerve. Oh, really? That's why pins and needles go off because
You're you're inhibiting the nerve and then when you come off the nerve
The nerve starts firing out tons of signals and that's why those signals suck ass
And hurt your feet or hurt your arms or how come you're whatever how come like like squeezing the area
Fixes it though
Because you're innervating it
You're poking the nerves your nerves are everywhere your whole thing is
Because I thought I thought I thought because I thought it was blood flow
I thought you were like kind of like squeezing the area it to like force
Things to like move no you're squeezing your man meats
So that your meats push on the nerve and then squish on the nerve
And then that fixes it
Yeah
Okay, I don't fully understand
But I didn't know that I thought just think it just instead instead of blood
Think of it as electricity. Yeah
Just exactly the same mechanics
Just because if you if you like so much on your hands
Yeah, and like you you were actually cutting off for real blood flow. Yeah, you could necrotize yourself real easy
Okay, it would turn blue and shit
But it does
Like if you don't squeeze the area it takes so much longer. I find for it to go back to normal. It sucks ass. Yeah
Yeah, so like that kind of like little like like ah wake up process
You know actually helps a lot and I just I thought you were like pushing the blood
That's that's when that's when your when your leg falls asleep. You just start punching it
Yeah, now the option to just rip it open with my teeth was there
But this was a letter that came from outside in a mailman's pouch
Why the fuck would I use my teeth on that?
You could have peed on it. You know, that's that's a horrifying idea
I specifically was like I am not going to use my teeth in this situation
I assume everything that comes from the outside has pee on it. So, you know
Yeah
Yeah, yeah interesting
Yeah, well, anyway, that's that's what hey
You want to hear another fun little nerve fact? This is my favorite one. Sure
You know when you say the word uh
Pfft
Pick any word that like a common word
Django
Django, okay
Now, you know, if you said Django like 80 times in two minutes
It would turn into complete nonsense and would lose its actual like meaning
And you would you would get that weird thing where you're like stumbling over the the the syllables
Because you're like, what am I saying the one that I always use is water?
And you said like
So what that is
Is the neuron in your head is firing so often that the system
Is afraid that it's like the start of a seizure
And so it inhibits the neuron associated with the word
And it no longer fires and you're not getting the meaning when you say it
So like you know that you know if you were to say, uh, I don't know be part of a
Angel
Ancient martial arts group that practice getting kicked in the nuts every day. You seen these guys
Sure the monks
And over a long enough period of time
Vid doesn't hurt anymore. Okay
It's because the brain is getting so used to that signal that it goes that signal is not valuable
That signal is not useful. It's not stopping you from getting kicked in the nuts
So so inhibit it now with moitai they
Roll pin they roll along the the the forearms and the shins
To like to kill the nerves so that you can attack with those areas and not hurt
So it does not it does not kill the nerves in your leg. It inhibits the neuron in your head
Eh
That is fascinating
Because that's how they that's how like my friend who does it
Would refer to it. He's like, yeah, you got to kill the nerves off. You know
But it's actually just
Wow
That's crazy. I love that's that's it's really fascinating. That's super cool. Like I remember
Upon I remember that like I was only way like it was like college years
I think when I found out that like
um
When you ingest a drug of of some kind that
The thing the chemical or the the makeup of the drug is not at all what elicits the response in your body
It's that it causes your body to then produce that which is actually already contained within you
It's it's on the particular drug. It will in some cases. It'll block or enhance
secretions that your brain already have
Yeah, so um of like dopamine or serotonin and things like that. Like yeah, when you get a local anesthetic
The local anesthetic is not filling you with numbness
it's it's
Slotted in and it has the same shape as the pain
Receptor so it actually just slots into the pain receptor and goes cool
And if it fills all of them
When the pain signals come through and release the neurochemicals to cause the pain signals
They go to latch on and there's no more slots. There's no more parking slots
right
uh, though some
Some brain chemicals like drugs that it's just a straight analog like an opiate
Your brain makes heroin to a degree. Your brain basically makes heroin. So I've been told morphine
And you're just going I want more
I just jam more of it in there and want more of it
Give me
Neurochemistry is crazy. You got the salt channel. It's all sorts of stupid shit. Anyway point being what's wild about it
Is just the idea that like let's say you actually had full uninhibited control of
Everything your body secreted and produced and you could turn it on and off yourself
You could absolutely lose your mind. Yeah, you could get yourself super fucked up
On demand. I mean
You would lose your mind the amount of interactions you're describing
Is so gargantuan. Mm-hmm
It would be like adding, uh
Increasing your motor control by 1000 times. Okay, uh, let me re let me re you would go nuts
Yeah, let let me rephrase that if you could keep everything automated
Except for the one or two that you selectively made manual
And then you could manually
Like turn that switch off and feed yourself more of this or that
You could get you could get all kinds of wild results without needing to ingest anything external
This is the this is the the fantasy version of being able to do it because the real version would probably be instant death
You would you would probably like be like I want the good chemicals and you'd go, oh, maybe this much and then you would just die
Yeah, I mean, we you know, we were we were we blah we rely on on our automated processes. I mean I I heard uh
You're all breathing manually. There's that's the first one right there you go. Uh, I heard a story about
um
There's a lady that there was a study done where like some part of her brain
Was hooked up to the same area or like they had a way to like, um trigger an orgasm response
And then oh, yeah, she had this insane
story about like getting
Addicted to this button because what the fuck else you're gonna do
It besides press it all day and then you can you can uh, totally put a robotic orgasm switch in your head
Yeah, and and and then I and then it got to a point where
She was like super super like, uh, fucked up over it and was like, please take this away from me
And when they went to do so she would like fight them to be like, no don't take it
The addict shit is kicking in
so, uh
It would be really bad if you had automatic control over all your little switches and dials for sure
But I just I just you know, it's crazy to me that it's like I I remember the way
I don't know the way I kind of learned about the dangers of all the bad things you put in your body
Is like a lord tells you not to yes, but also except for the except for the ones you're supposed to
Uh, but most but but the idea was that like that bad thing
Is in itself creating this weird response
It's this bad thing is poisoning you in this way as opposed to your body itself is actually just producing this
You know, it changes the the way you look at things
Do you remember a while ago?
And it's gone never mind. All right
It's gone the whole the the whole train of thought I had
poof
Gone hello. Goodbye
Uh how apt to the subject
Yeah, but it actually uh, what it was a segue into something else
But uh, you know that old study where if you give uh pigeons or rats or mice or whatever the
Oh
When we were making fun of the sigma males
Uh, we described that the entire alpha beta thing came from a misunderstanding of uh,
Researching captive wolves wolves. Yeah, because captive wolves
Act very differently in a social structure than compared to regular in the wild wolves. Mm-hmm
This discussion about all of our brain opiates
Makes me think about the initial research that i'm pretty sure you probably had to go over as well in one of your general classes
Which was did you know?
That if you put a pigeon or a rat or some shit in a in a box and you give it a food button
And a drugs button that the the the rat will fucking kill itself to death
By getting cocaine high all day rat park is a myth
You're talking about rat park and that has been disproven
What
Apparently rat park which is you got the drug button or you have the happy environment and that uh
The the rat would if you introduce enough social things into its environment
It doesn't press the drug button anymore
Apparently that whole thing the whole like rat park utopia study thing turned out to be again another
misunderstanding of the results of a study
um
And that and i was told that it isn't exactly as clear cut as
uh rat utopia
changing the uh
The desires of like if you put a rat by itself in a shitty box it presses the drug button until it dies
But if you introduce
Uh enough things to its environment where it doesn't need to do that
It'll be happy enough to live its life without that and it won't press it as often was the the simplified version of the event
That's what is that what you were talking to talking about
It was but you're kind of confusing multiple things
okay
i'm i'm reciting what i was the i'm trying to recite what i was told here
You you are talking about like in a in a in a happier environment in terms of
social situations
Right
Would lead to less addiction but like the the the reason the the what do you call it the study was a problem
Was that the end result of that study was that biological underpinnings have absolutely no result in drug addiction and that it's prove
That it's all the drug addiction is all science. I'm sorry all uh social conditioning
And it's like no there is absolutely
a biological underpinning to
psychological addiction
but
Sorry, yeah to drug addiction, but like yeah, man
Rats don't won't kill themselves easily with cocaine if they got pals
That's all i'm saying
How many rat utopia tests are there a lot actually they do tests on rats a lot
sucks
Okay for rats
That it's okay if that's not the exact same stuff if that's not this the same study you're talking about then
i'm not certain it's just that
It's sound that sounds similar to at least what i remember hearing about the original
About like yeah, you have the social environment that gets introduced for and then the button that they that the rat goes to press
And then I remember years later
Again being told that okay, so it turns out that that whole thing is
It's it's a popular study, but it turns out it was a misunderstanding and that it wasn't exactly as initially reported
um
And I feel as if like a lot of major studies that like I guess that become popularized in this way are
prone to having these misunderstandings because you know, I feel like the stanford prison experiments obviously gets quoted enough that like
um
Stanford really bums me out
It the stanford prison experiment really depresses me dramatically
You're you're familiar with the fact that that turned out to be manufactured did it
so
No, but I did hear there was something about it that was misleading
But I didn't know the details of what it was if that's what it is then yeah, okay
Then that would make perfect. Yeah, it came out that zimbardo actually gave them like instructions to be assholes
Okay, well there you go. It's like oh well there you go. Fuck see that's that's the thing it's a groundbreaking
study
That like it said all this shit something about it. I actually meant nothing. Yeah, I didn't know
I didn't know what the specifics were but that there was something like that I get like
I don't know. Yeah
um, why all these scientists always lying and getting me pissed
Magnets that's right. The only people you can trust
Is violent jay and the other guy whose name I forget. I wish I I were better at uh
Re at hearing and reciting some of these things when I hear them because they sound very fascinating
And I feel as if like nine out of ten times when I try to repeat them usually in front of a microphone
uh
It ends up being some horrible
Misinterpretation of something in which case I'm like a dumbass for
Interim realizing it that way and the in this case
I would want to just call over punch bomb to just be like hey you studied this you know the answer
What the fuck was it?
But in this particular you're more book smart than I am help me help me go through this
And then then they're like I don't know what you're talking about
Well, the problem is is just that like when you are you when you're talking for a couple hours and something reminds you of something
You heard one time you try to reach in and and recount that to the best of your ability
Um, I was once told the dogs can't look up
I once caused a minor
I once may have revealed to people the the dark truth
That rats can't swim
Something that people are fighting me on to this day
Wow
Feels like it's an easily verifiable
Facts if you just tested it. All right. So do you so this is how it happened? Okay?
Well, I was playing a plague tale into that cool game that took place in like ancient. Oh, and then the water would stop them from attacking you
The water would stop them from attacking but also on top of that
We all know that rats
Showed up on the boats like from trading vessels
Right, and that's how the the fleas got in and gave everybody the plague
Well, if rats could swim they wouldn't have needed to take boats to go to europe
Because they would just swim across the ocean and swim they would just swim
air tight over
airtight
And that's why
In the ending of plague tale they get on a boat
Because they can't swim to america
Makes sense
I mean
Like
What are the odds that like
Some bird or like flying creature
Uh, kind of like grabs one
And just thinks it's dead
But then accidentally drops it off on another island somewhere and then it somehow happens to be pregnant very very low
And the rat goes, ah, let me out very very low. So
Yeah, I believe it. No
They wild
They would have they would have been
They would have been here
And
Well, anyway
That's why rats didn't get to other countries in the world from their starting point until boats were invented
Because how were they gonna get there they needed the boats, you know, can I just say that
Like this job, I've said this before but this
This job
is
Like
I've can't believe how confident I felt in life
About things that I was told
Until the internet got involved and for all of you out there that are listening
I really like you I I pray
That you don't have to experience this because it's really not fun. It really doesn't feel good
But it's it's the start of the level of scrutiny
into everything that you eventually discover that every other word out of your mouth
Is like what that's not true and then you go wait and then you have to think back on who told you that when in what context
And then you just go like
Oh my god, like I just I don't know like my mom told me that one time or my friend said hey
Did you know this everything? I believe a lie
And you and in every other seconds you end up having these little things, you know
And like little trivia little tidbits little factoids early on in in the first couple years
I remember we would have tons of moments of like
We'd see something in a game or play something and I'd be like, oh that reminds me about uh, hey, did you hear that?
You know, uh, that didn't happen. Yeah
That's not real. Yeah, it's like oh this fruit was whatever or
Bananas used to be like this or I don't know whatever the fuck and you just all these little weird
You know little little things that like your uncle will throw at you and it's just like yeah
No, that's bullshit. You're like, uh, okay
What?
And just years and years and years later
You realize it's like no like almost every single one
Is at the very least like well, that's kind of how it happened
But there's more to it than that and like I pray that you don't have to feel what it's like
To literally have everything questioned in that way and then you go. All right
I have no confidence in anything. I've ever been told anymore
You just lose all confidence in it and there's no other way to take it
You know, it's it's fucking it's a trip, man
I actually I was talking to somebody recently and they asked me like hey, does this job stress you out?
I'm like enormously
And the number one thing that stressed me out is the big eyeball
Sitting in the sky at all times watching you listening to you everything you say is it stupid?
Yes
And that's how I take comfort
In letting everyone know that rats can't swim something that fills me with like and dogs can't look up
like incredible joy
And I mean it would be easy enough if I could just say that like oh, hey
Yeah, my weird religious upbringing is to blame, but I'm like no like some of this came from my history teacher
In grade 11 some of this came from
You know like little fucking videos you might have watched when you were a kid on on on random tv shows or ranger rick magazine or
You know world or owl or just you know what I mean? Like there's all these little things. We're like, oh, yeah
I was told this once I saw this once there was an episode of this once
you know
I mean I loved bullshit when it first came out like
Based on the fact that I was like, oh my god like I remember hearing all of these things
And then like I do and then bullshit was fantastic for being like yeah, it turns out that's that's fucking
Nonsense and I was like wow
Good job
But they're magicians
Magic isn't real the magic is bullshit magic itself is bullshit
But they that that's why they know the most about bullshit than than anyone else
That's why they're the best at fucking deciphering and sniffing out what's what's garbage
That show is great, but then when it started happening to everything I said
Into a microphone for the last 10 years. Yeah, it fucking started creating anxiety attacks
Yeah, well
No, not quite not quite, but um, that's why you got that's why you got to sprinkle in some fun things
Just sprinkle them in
like uh
I don't know. I got nothing I rats can't swim is my favorite
I keep going back to it because like oh man people get like people get
Okay, I'm gonna pull the veil off of rats can't swim for for a few seconds get ready
The fact that people will go no rats can swim I've seen it and you're just like no they can't is is like legitimately like
Like why okay, I'm obviously lying. It's so it's so it's so clear
It's so obvious. How can you not tell that I am obviously lying? It's so obvious
So I while we were talking there
Quickly just googled
pen and tellers bullshit episodes to see the list
and the last episode
Season eight episode 10
Was called vaccinations
And I was like, oh no
Oh, no, no, no
Uh-oh, I watched that I watched that episode. Okay
And you know what that episode is
Well, I looked at the synopsis
and
as trick yes
Yes
The the it is the episode is that there is no link between vaccinations and autism. Um, yeah
Okay
It's literally a trick. They're like
They they they walk out and they start talking about vaccines and you're like holy shit
Are we what and then they're like
Oh boy, and then they start talking about how vaccines fucking rule and you're like, oh
It's it's seriously clickbait because like the the title comes up. Yes. Yes, and you're like, oh
Oh, no
However, the fact that that is the last episode of the show doesn't look great
Yeah
Looks very trouble. Also. It is it is like a nice bullet point on like what really matters, right?
I
Suppose
um
Yeah, I'm shocked. They didn't do an episode because they're huge libertarians. I'm shocked. They didn't do an episode that was just like taxes
The fed or the state. Yeah, I kind of
I think I didn't I think I only got like five seasons in I didn't see like six to eight over here
and I'm looking at like
episode
Season eight season eight episode one cheerleaders fast food
martial arts teen sex
easy money area 51
old people
Old people are bullshit when I was a teen
I remember being a teenager and I had sex and let me tell you it was bullshit
right
And then again the the the title versus the description where it seems like it's more about
people giving a fuck about teens having sex and and and
Freaking out about it and being overly
Uh puritanical
Which yeah, you know, we have it weird
It's true
No titties. All right, so what I do is my way. Yeah
Uh aside from looking out my window and not seeing any swimming rats, which is we all know is the proof that it doesn't exist
Um
I didn't play or or uh, uh, do anything that crazy. I finished mando with page and plague season one very fun
Yeah, very. Oh, yeah season one
I'm way behind but like the end of mando season one had a moment where it was like all that item
That I'm shocked anyone but me remembered
Came back. Oh, wow. Mm-hmm. Okay
cool
Rad very cool. Uh
That I'm looking at that show. I'm like, man that show could have ended like right there and just be done
It could have but I'm excited to see the the second season and um
And you know the again it
It it could have ended there, but it doesn't feel like it would overstay. It's welcome if it didn't
All right, absolutely
All right, so I did that
then
Me and one peach saliva
Uh, both did sponsored streams for a game called uh, outriders
Which uh square enix is putting out so my people can fly
Did that uh last friday and then uh over the weekend
We played a shit ton more outriders
Because once again square enix the fools
Sponsored us for something that was cool
Um
Outriders is how do I describe this? It's
He didn't play remnant from the ashes, huh? No
That was that dark souls third-person shooter that with like the loot system
It's
Uh
Not the asymmetrical one
No, it feels like oh wow, okay somebody in chat nailed it. It's bullet storm diablo
It's diablo in structure. You run through areas. You kill dudes. You get loot. You level up your character. You learn skills
There's different classes magic man's
but it
Made by the bullet storm people or the I think it's did they also make
painkiller original
I want to say they did for starters. Is it fun?
Yeah, it's great. Okay
It's spent like I wouldn't have played it all weekend and like leveled up a bunch of different characters
If I didn't think it was great
Uh, it's just a really solid
Like action rpg with like a bunch of gear mechanics and level up mechanics and
Like you you're shooting
Lightning and fire at people. It's it's great. Like it genuinely feels like a and it's a free to play like it
No, it's a regular so that one of the funniest things about it
Is when outriders originally got announced
I mocked it for being another live service disaster
Okay, and I'm not the only one
So when we got it and we got the the the uh, you know the the the ad copy or the the the talking points
In like massive capital letters. It's like
Outriders is not a live service game. Okay, and I'm like, okay, let me go
Let me go and check this a bit more
And the answer is that it is not a games as a service
It's not a live service and they are not even calling it a loot game
It is a action rpg
That has loot and levels and stuff
And it has an ending and it has an ending plus
Like kind of mission stuff to level up your character. Okay, and then they have done interviews in which they say if the game sells pretty well
We'll put out an expansion
Like a regular video game well because we got pitched some ads for it too
And uh, I kind of went like yeah, I'll I'll take a look at and see what this is. Um, and at a glance I I
It seemed like it was a gas game
But it does it does from a distance. So it really it it the the the the
like
through line
of
Like what type of game it is
Goes like Diablo borderlands
Outriders
Like
rpg that you you grab a character and run through the story and loot up and get all that stuff and maybe you put some items in your
Slute and then you then you'll pick a different character and run your way through. Okay. Um
It
has
The weirdest tone I've seen in a game in a while
because it is
Like viciously grim dark. It's so upsetting
Like it's so
Like it's like
What like they're talking about how like the rebel faction in the game is like eating their children because they're all starving
Like it is it it's just horrible
Except for your main character
It's like dropping like like a fucking star lord character in
Where they're upset they didn't get to say their cool line or they're annoyed the guy they were escorting flew up
But everyone around them
Is in like nightmare world
And is that a deliberate super functional decision?
I don't know
It's super weird
It's like duke nukem went to warhammer 40k
It's it's wildly inconsistent. Yeah, that sounds fucking
Okay, weird. It's it's it's often really weird. It's often legitimately really funny
Because it's it's it's not
How to put it it's not funny in the way that somebody tells a joke and it's funny
It's funny in that the absurdity of the situation is kind of like darkly humorous
So, I mean like does it play the music to make you feel sad about what you're seeing?
And then no slapstick man walks in and and goes wabba wabba wabba
Let me give you an example sure in the in an early sea in in the demo
There's a bit where you have to go try and save a lieutenant
And you run into the lieutenant you kill a bunch of dudes and the lieutenant is digging his way out of a cave in
With an enemy soldier and you help the enemy soldier out and he goes hey, hey, hey, hey
We're we're like we're all working together here. Let's all chill and you go. Oh, yeah, okay
And then you help the lieutenant out and he goes oh good work soldier
And then he immediately shoots
The guy that was helping him and then tosses a grenade after him and his body chunks
Like almost onto the screen like there's a mist that fires out of the hole
And your character goes seriously
And he starts giving a speech about what do you think is war we're gonna and then that guy gets just shot in the head
And dies and your character goes why did I even bother doing this side quest at all?
Why did I even do this because the guy you came to save is dead and you didn't achieve anything?
There's a clip of it on a quiet-sized channel if you want to take a look at it
Okay, am I sure it's not trying to be funny? I don't know because it's also trying to be like viciously dark
There is a moment in the tutorial
Where your character gets injured and then gets like basically you you land on a planet and it's completely normal and idyllic
But then your character gets injured and then they get put in cryo and when they wake up out of cryo
They're in essentially world war one
With monsters, okay, and they're like fish out of water and everything's crazy
And you're going down a truck and you're going down a fucking tunnel that is like nothing but hanged corpses
That are hanging against the truck. Okay, it's one of the darkest things. I've ever seen in a game
And then like two minutes later the character's like wow, they're running away from me
I'm a badass and then shooting like lightning bolts
Like it's super weird. Yeah, I guess genuinely bizarre. I guess the question is is like are they meat gags?
Or are they meant to be really like disturbing? You know
Both. Yeah, okay
Like it's it's like did you ever play bull bull storm? No
Bullet storm was like it's what was actually happening in bullet storm was a fucking nightmare
Like it was it was like the end. It was like the that planet that gets fucked to death in um firefly
Sure
Like
But your character is an idiot and is like screaming at jennifer hale that she'll kill the her dick
And are like oblivious to the the existential nightmare horror
Of what's going on
See, I don't like if well, you know, just based on what you're saying if it doesn't actually decide or have a clear
One or the other that would that jarring this would probably start to get really
grading at the further you went in
because um
The tone you establish
I think is like
Important to like create a lens that you're supposed to view it through in a way
Or at the very least give you some sort of indicator
And if and if the whole point is to subvert that and fuck you up with it in the end
Then so be it that that that that's your goal
But like if you go in you go into half-life for example, and you see the
The meat gag come flying out the tube and you go, all right
That's meant to be a fucking
gag, you know, um, yeah, or or you see like the way
Like the cages of people are cubed together in doom and you're like, it's yeah, it's doom
You know what I mean? You're not going to think twice about it
It's
It's
It's super weird. It feels it like your character's a fish out of water and they act like a fish out of water
Because they have
Like it's a it's a world in which everyone's been fighting a 31 year war war against nightmares and mutants and
People who eat babies. Yeah, and your dude just woke up from a nap from like a stroll and I was like, hey guys
I have powers. You know super. It's super bizarre. Now you played you played
Duke Nukem forever, right?
I did you remember
When that starts getting into the like alien pregnant
Burthing levels and whatnot. Yeah. Yeah, where you and Duke is like
Yeah, they're dead. Yeah, my the Olsen twins are now alien preggers. Oh man, and yeah, it it is and then they just pop and you're like
Okay, like these like ridiculous
Things where they go to the maximum. Yeah, this has reeled it back. Okay, and so it's like it's weird
It's not upsetting
Uh, I actually really dig the tone honestly. Okay
I it's I find it really interesting
And more importantly than that like the actual shoot and get gun and use magic power is
fantastic
Like I absolutely love it
cool
Uh, that's pretty much all I played for the oh I played more Persona 5, uh
Strikers scramble strikers whatever the fucking game is called. Yeah, uh, hey, it's really good
It's really really really really excellent. Yep. I I installed that bought it and uh, I'm gonna be playing that with punch mom
Um, so it might take a while to get through but we're gonna go through it together now that we both know I'm interested in seeing what you think of the villains
Okay
Because the villains are of a very different type
than the ones in
Uh p5
Well, I saw based on that trailer. There's the pink haired girl that seems to be like a kind of like posh pop
Jase j-pop star looking girl
Um, did you manage so you streamed a bit of it? You're and you were fine. I guess just doing a bit of it
I streamed like three hours of the second dungeon. Okay
Like fucking dead ass middle of the not important
Does there yet exist a video that is
Royale only catch-up content?
No
Damn
Oh, I mean probably but I didn't watch it because I still plan on planning on going through royal
Okay, however because scramble slash strikers was in development alongside royal
None of the royal content is actually in
Strikers to the point where they will make throw away lines that royal happened
But it it it makes no apps. It absolutely makes no
Influence on the plot. So you mentioned that last week and that's what kind of gave me the like I'm like, okay
I I won't worry about going in
It's a sequel to persona 5 not to persona 5 royal, right?
But I still like I would I I really hope there is a like nice little royal compilation royal only compilation somewhere
So probably the the weirdest thing about it is like
um
Like both of the persona 5 spin-off games
Went new character redhead. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm cute redhead go. Mm-hmm
I can say from just that title screen or at the very least the um the idle
Across media bar screen like the fucking music already sounds banging. Oh, it's great. Oh
Oh, it's so good. The remix of last surprise is incredible
Weird issue though, um
That that game has for some reason
Uh once you buy it you can't go back to it on the
PSN store page
like
Only this game for like because I wanted to I walk because I I went I watched the trailer and then I bought it
And then when I was telling punch mom about it. I wanted to
Show her the trailer
So I went to the PSN store and then like returned to the store page for the game
But instead it just brings you to the bonus content page
And you can no longer look at the game page
to
Watch the trailer
So I was like, oh that sucks. I like going back to the why don't you just go to the library?
Uh, you can do that
But it just leads you to the bonus content page again
Like it no matter what link to p5 strikers you you click on it leads you to the
Bonus content play now screen and that's it
Um, so I was like, that's a weird issue bug with this
With this thing, but yeah, um
Sounds fucking sick. You get to you get to carry over content depending on where your save file is
Oh, shit. Okay. Okay
Uh p5 and p5 royal give you and what it is is it's music from
respective things
Okay, so on
If you have joker in smash
They give you something on the switch version
I think it's funny. Okay. And if you have a percent of five a percent of five a royal save they give you something
And on pc you get nothing. Okay. Well, I'm gonna have to stick up and make sure that works then
Yeah
Huh cool
If you hear disgusting snort noises, excuse me. I'm washing a dog over here
Okay, well, uh
Can we take a word from our sponsors in the meantime? Let's take a word from our sponsors. All right. Hope they don't mind some dog washing

restricting you from dog washing noises
It's about giving you the option. Let's say that dog washing noises were available only in canada

Over 90 countries to choose from whenever you run out of stuff to watch you can just switch it up unlock new shows

So hey woolly, let me ask you
If I took this dog and I picked him up and put him in your face. Would you kiss this dog?
I'd kiss him on the I'd kiss him on the the dry parts
Okay. Yeah, that's smart
That's smart if the if the snoot's wet. I'm gonna dodge the snoot
But I'm okay. You're gonna want to go to the top of the head. Yeah, then I'm hitting the dry parts. It's uh,
Yeah, it's it's cool. Mm-hmm. This is gross in there. Mm-hmm
Why do you ask
I was looking at him. Okay
And I was just like he's cute. Yeah, you gotta you gotta get a feel for the for the dry
That's important
Yeah
because like
Dude, I'll be asleep and the dog will just mash his face directly into my face and then cough
You're lucky. That's the orifice
lick gas you're getting
Oh, the dog's rubbed his dick on my head when I was asleep. That's there you go. There you go
Like he'll he'll step over my head to like get to my side and then I got like just dog dick in the ear
I mean that stuff about
Iggy just farting in your face is not that hyperbolic real real real. Yeah. Yeah real for sure. Absolutely
Absolutely
Tell you what though you can't hear the ocean
Hmm
Man, I heard I've heard dogs ripping it up. I've never heard a cat fart
I have heard a cat fart
I've heard that cat fart. Hmm. In fact page went to pet. He's on his cat tree right next to us
Page went to pet him last night and he literally just farted at her
To say I don't want to be pet right now
Okay, fair enough and it was like a tiny little brat. Hmm
Yeah, I know I've heard I've heard dogs just ripping ass, but um, I guess they have heard a cat
Yeah
All right. Well, anyway, I got on a cat
usually
What's going down elden ling elden ling
You're doing it
You did it you fucking nailed it elden ring leak
That's about to say elden ling reek. Um, but yeah stinky
There that go
Uh talked about that. We certainly already did
Uh, I don't need to linger too long on this one
Uh, neither do you but hey anthems dead
Yeah
Anthem 2.0 aka anthem next no one has been officially canceled and that's the end of that
There will be no, uh, no man's sky story for that
Everyone remember this the next time anyone talks to anyone at ea about their plans for any future game ever
Well, here's the fun part right
is
So the not fun part is how uh people that were getting geared up and staffed on this project to
Bunkered out and do some big
revamp work
Because they had just like hired a bunch of people and put a team together and then just kind of went. Ah, you know what fuck it
um
Which is a bit wild, but hey thanks ea
Simultaneously alongside that news this week
Comes the other news
Where they say hey, you know what?
Uh, they're going to be giving their studios creative freedom
To do whatever they're they want and they're going to be backing off on approvals
more specifically
In the case of titanfall 3
So that respawn can make it if they wanted to
So basically they didn't uh
They did an interview with the ceo currently
And uh laura miele said, uh, yeah that
They're basically putting it in the student putting green lighting above new games in the studio's hands
and uh
They're giving them a level of freedom to create whatever projects they want to make
I don't believe them
I
Just straight up just don't believe them. I mean hey, uh, at the if the public buck has been passed
then
I don't see why the studio could not then
Come out and use the same if it's if it's not true
But if they say things that keep like
Like
Basically if respawn were to then go all right cool. So now we're officially doing it
Like could ea then go behind the scenes and be like nah, fuck you and not have have this lead to disastrous
What they would do
What they would do is if you want to make titanfall 3 you need to hit these milestones
And they're impossible milestones
Uh
Looking for the exact quote. Oh, yeah, they did say that apex was done without ea entirely. I remember that that was a while ago
Um apex takes place in the titanfall world respawn team is incredibly proud of that legacy and brand
The team will determine what the future holds for apex and titanfall
I don't believe in directing or telling game teams what to create
It has come it has to come from the player community and inspiration
And motivation of the developers
Well
On paper
That says that uh, it's up to it's a respawn if they want to do it or not
Now we were told some time ago that there was no there was like three
Titanfall related projects that were not apex
One was a vr experience that's probably gone
The other was another thing that's not titanfall 3 that's also titanfall related. That's probably gone
And then we also were told pretty much indirectly that titanfall 3 is not being worked on by any of the staff
So
They announced they kind of hinted at three projects that are all sort of not happening in a way. So
Uh, I don't know what the fuck is going on. Um
This news as well is is is them stepping out of the way basically going
Yeah, we're not holding them back if and and whether or not that's true remains to be seen
But it feels as if like this is all just gearing up for respawn to have to come out and go. All right. Well
I guess we are or are not doing it
A buck has been passed
This feels like it should be good, but I bet it sucks
If they don't I mean
I mean if they just the only thing that that's
If they just announced apex 2
But there's titans in it
I'll take that
That's fine. I'll take that
Uh, the only thing that I know for 100 came out of the anthem thing
Is that they went to the dragon age team doing four and they're like, okay, it doesn't have to be a live service
It can just be a single player game
Oh, yeah
Well, I mean, could you imagine bioware having to fucking
Advertise dragon age as a live service after they just literally dropped their last one
It'd be impossible
Um
So then
We got you know what fuck it. No, let's just this might take a minute. So let's just go here
Hey
Hey
Hey pat. Yeah, what's up pokemon
Do you mean that game for babies pocket monsters
Oh man
I I legit like woolly. I I really have to say
Seeing you just tweet the word pokemon and like only mutuals may reply to this gave me a fucking good ass belly laugh
Like oh
Oh, you got me good. Why is everyone so mad about these games all the time?
And yes, I know I'm referring to myself
But like I'm looking at the fucking game and it's got the chibi arts and everyone's shitting their asses
Lee looks cute
So two games were announced
As well as a post Malone
crossover
Which is some wild shit, but that's fine. Oh, do you want to oh that post Malone thing put me through a loop
I'll tell you. Hey man post Malone is allowed to be wholesome
Okay, but no like I got boomered out the other day. Did you?
Yeah, because people are talking because I was streaming and people were like, oh the post Malone
Pokemon concerts in like a half hour
And I'm like, why are they holding a concert for pokemon in Malone, New York?
Like that place is a shithole
And I'm like what
And then I had to look him up and I was like, oh
No, no, you knew who he was because we made reference to his tattoos
You knew who he was who you're talking about when you're talking about tattoos
We made reference to the fact that he has the best face tattoo saying always tired on his face
I remember that but I don't remember. I didn't remember the guy's name was post Malone
Well, I'll be honest when you talk about musical acts, I just pretend that I know who you're talking about. I see. Okay
So then I suppose me saying that
As unlikely as a fit as it seems it's better than going with the ever colorful Takeshi six nine
See, I knew that guy because he's a criminal. Okay. Okay
Because the colors and the brand and the the goofy excitement might, you know
Might be a little bit more pokemon friend. That guy loves he's the snitch, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's super down
Yeah, okay, and then he came out and then like he double snitched by like he like got on
Video call he got on like Skype or fucking zoom with them and started
Extra snitching hard and telling them they were idiots and fuck them and shit and dudes dudes insane
Um loves it
Super omega final god tier snitch
Yep
Good for him
Question mark
Well, he also like beat the shit out of his pregnant girlfriend. So
All right
I'm gonna rich. I'm glad I added that question mark. Good job. I'm gonna cross that question mark out. Good job. Cross the whole sentence out. It's good
So, you know
Uh
Yeah
Gooba though anyway
So this, uh
Announcement apparently
Uh was one for
Some remakes of the seno region
Uh pokemon
Brilliant diamond and shining pearl
Oh, that makes sense. Mm-hmm. I was expecting shining diamonds, but maybe I was just listening too hard for jojo isms
But anyway, um
I'm legit confused. Why is everyone yelling that the seno remake looks like trash? It looks like a 3d version of the sprites
Yeah
seems
Seems like it. I mean if it were a new game that were
Like doing that look again
Then you we talked about it with sword and shield, right?
If it were if it were a new game that we're doing that again, it'd be like god damn it again
But like considering it's a remake of an older thing. I'm like that that's fine. It's a remake of an older thing
I'm like, I like I wouldn't expect it to understand because like
Pokemon fans are literally getting a remake of an old game like every two or three years. Yes, they're idiots and they'll buy it
Um, and they wanted that particular one for a while if I remember correctly
Sino's been a thing that people have been clamoring for for a long time
Which is why I laughed quite heartily when that nintendo fandom tweet rankings
chart came out
Which I don't know if you saw it
but
It basically categorizes list of nintendo fandoms and it's really great
Um
I will I will see if I can retweet that
Uh
Basically it puts
You know a bunch of things like the quietly tolerable fans are fans of kittakuris rhythm heaven yoshi's island the wuji's mansion
Why are you aware?
um, yeah, yeah, yeah bitter but righteous
golden sun mario and luigi and uh
Uh
Fuck
We'll stop damnit
Anyway, it goes on there's a whole bunch of there's a whole bunch of things
Consumed by spitefire emblem fans and zelda fans
A few more beasts than men
mother f zero paper mario fans
but then
Glutons who would not be satisfied with all the riches in heaven animal crossing
Smash brothers and pokemon
That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah like damn strong strong memes
Kirby fans generally pleasant nice
I see some photo. Uh, I mean I like I uh, how do I put this?
Like
I can understand people don't care for the art style because it looks like baby and it's it's like
Like a 3d one for one remake of like a fucking nintendo ds game
But like
Pokemon looks like trash
Like i'm not saying like the game is trash like the games are fun
Pokemon looks like fucking garbage the game freak doesn't give a shit
Oh, did will they die? What's going on? I was just coughing. Sorry. Oh, okay. Yeah. No, it's like
Like there's no money for pokemon it's it's gonna look like shittier than a mobile game
Right fucking live with it. So so
Like well again, I
for me going back to the the new the last game's announcement sword and shield and stuff
The thing was damn it. You're just doing it again. You're just you're not gonna go any further with it then, huh?
and
This time announced remake. It's the shibbi art style. It is what it is. It's but it's you know modern
They're bringing the region back and and they're bringing these versions back. So, you know, you get those those dexes
Sure
And I was like, okay, and then I saw people were very upset about that
and then the next game announcement was for um
uh
pokemon legends
and
the trailer for pokemon legends
is a giant 3d open world game
and
It's not the most amazing looking 3d world
But no, I believe
You can quote me a couple
times throughout the years saying
When are they gonna make the game where you can just pan the camera up and
They're giving it a shot god bless. Yeah, it's got so no frame rate whatsoever
No frame rate. It's not allowed to have a frame rate
But god bless. They're actually trying an action game style
System where you walk around a world to scale
And you go in the bushes and you catch a pokemon and you throw out a thing and it fights and
So that is that is progress with game freak
So it's like yeah
Go for legends the one being made by the main team or is the remake being the one made by the
I don't know
But if this is what you've got to make to try out
Baby steps in the you know if you've got to take these little dips in the pool before you go to the next thing
Then fucking do it
By all means so I mean
I'm I think it's nice that they're actually going for it for once
I had a a lot of thoughts about this on twitter where I was uh, I would I would actually say this is one of the few times
I'm actually
intentionally riling people up
because
I'm sick of this argument because it's like
So, uh, when I mentioned hey guys get over it game freak doesn't have any money to spend on the way pokemon is
It's always going to look like garbage
The same things I see is like how could it have no money? It's the most popular franchise in the world
It's been like this for 10 years yada yada, and it's like this is literally
Exactly the same thing that happened with sword and shield and sun and moon ultra and sun and moon like it's it's it's
It's like it's the
The the the question is somebody asked like how can you not understand how people are so mad?
It's like no, I can't understand how people who are still mad
Still care about pokemon
Because it's never gonna change
This like this arceus game this legend of arceus that takes place in the past
Is legitimately the most interesting thing pokemon has ever done
It's the first time there's ever been a real change to any part of the formula fucking for once besides like pokemon snap
Yeah, but that's like a spin-off besides spin-offs. Yeah. Yeah, no
Yeah, like it like they have been remaking like people are complaining about the way the seno remake looks
Like they've been remaking red and blue for 25 years with various levels of ugly graphics
Like it does like it's it doesn't matter. I was talking about monster hunter in comparison
I mean the name legends arceus does
Put it in spin-off category
But uh
Yeah, but uh
It is like yeah, go ahead
So let's take monster hunter, right?
So, uh, I was uh, yeah, fuck it. Let's take uh, what's it called gigamax?
The way you make your pokemon big
Is that what's called? Okay. I have friends that are
Crazy about pokemon. They're fucking crazy. They have living dexes
right
And they were telling me oh dynamax
Georgia cancer whatever they were telling me how they actually really liked dynamax
and
The the thing that upsets them the most about pokemon by far is that literally every single pokemon comes out
and it falls either the it follows the red and blue template
and one big new feature
it's either mega evolution or dynamax or
Uh fucking z moves or whatever the fuck and it is gone at the next game. It's not tweaked. It's not integrated
It's not messed with it's gone
It's always the same game plus one new thing
And I think about monster hunter or monster hunter one sucks and it came out like 15
I don't even know it was a ps2 game. It's a long time ago
And in the second game they added tons of moves to the different guys and they added lots of new weapons and
types of areas and then in the third game they added swimming which was terrible and in the fourth game
They took the ideas they had from swimming and mixed some of the stuff around and then they add climbing and mounting
Ounsters and jumping off of shit and every single game. Yeah, I would take some old features away
But it would also add some new ones and integrate some older ones so that when you play monster hunter rise
Compared to monster hunter world, which are one game apart
There's a huge amount of new features, but they're obviously still monster hunter
Pokemon's been like almost the same game for like 25 fucking years. It's ridiculous
It's fucking stupid
The fact that people are still finding it within their fucking heart to get mad about this
For however many fucking years it's been is so absurd
Like you're mad about the Sinnoh remake looking like babies
What you weren't mad about like fucking 10 pokemon games in a row not being able to be discerned at a glance by the average person
So, yeah
It's baby steps towards progress and it is it's like
the only thing
That uh, I've been asking about for a long ass time now. Happy to see it. I will
Happy to see it. I will totally buy
Unless it's complete trash. I will absolutely buy legends. Absolutely. Absolutely because it is act it like god damn it
It's something. Yep. The core concept of pokemon is so
strong
And they've done nothing with it and this might actually be something
The I saw somebody just say you can apply this to zelda
I did apply it to zelda. Do you remember me yelling about how much I hated skyward sword?
That was the same thing
The but much better the opening couple of minutes of detective pikachu
Where you get to see
A hint of what that might look like if they gave a shit
Where it's like in the real world where they're they're in the forest and they're going and they you know
They have the whole little like
Capture scene or whatever and it's just like yeah, just just take that idea
and deliver that in a game form and
the
Like it's just I don't again. Yeah 15 years however, however long it's been at this point like
This looks like like they might actually nail it and if they don't like it's a step towards what the next thing might be
You know
What what what are you did pokemon come out?
red blue
98 99
98 would make it to 96. Okay. Okay
I want
So i'm well aware of game series like dragon quests that go for like a traditional aesthetic
Right and go for a traditional thing and they vary it up and they try and make it quality, right, but like
You know what else came out in 1996
Red is the evil one
Look at the fucking gap in in in fucking scope and quality
Super mario 64 and Tekken 2 came out that year for fuck's sake
Like there's so much fucking shit front mission one sieve two men 96 was rad now
This is a handheld franchise star handheld franchise of course. Yeah, sure
Let's compare it to another handheld franchise. Okay. I have an idea
Uh when did monster hunter freedom unite come out it came out in 2008
What pokemon game came out
In 2008 x y
Fuck in
The last pokemon game. Oh platinum the fucking diamond and pearl
Combined game right. Okay. Okay. So in between monster hunter 2
And rise
Is the game they're remaking
I
What a perfect fucking analogy
Yeah
So I I the thing with the anger on this one is that waiting into the comments. I legitimately couldn't understand it
Like I oh, yeah, like I could not understand
What the the anger was about I mean like the the
The way it looks
Seems to be like the major thing with both games cases and
In both of those cases as again as we covered it's like that's that's a forsaken cause
If you if you were in on the last couple generations
But there were a lot of comments that were just not really elaborating on what the problem was
It was just god. Fuck this shit the pain of being a pokemon fan
And I'm like you're looking at a fucking like
All the riches in the world being handed to you
And a giant like big event and all this anniversary shit and whatever else the fuck is going on with it
um and pokemon snap and whatever
and
It it just it was like
I I I legitimately couldn't wrap my head around it. I'm just I'm just gonna I'm dodging this entire fucking thing like fuck that
You know, uh
But hey
For once it good on you graham game freak for once
it
It's like
The the the anger is why can't they treat
Pokemon like they treat breath of the wild
Right and the answer is because they refuse to spend the money or the time
So get over it get over it
Like you should have gotten over it like for fuck's sake. I was complaining about this when I literally bought diamond and pearl
I bought diamond and pearl and I remember playing it and I beat it was the last pokemon game
I beat and I was like I'm kind of surprised that this many years in it's not that much different from my friends telling me about
Red and blue, but not only do they need not need to do not only do they not
Spend the money of the time they don't need to
Demonstrated by the fact that they're able to be successful without doing it
Pokemon games are one
Degree of quality away from being football games, right, right, right, right. Yep
Because they're gonna sell it doesn't matter all the complaining about sword and shield
bestselling pokemon in ages
And and again like you know the the sword and shield it's like at the very least
Even within your same restricted shit fucking budget
Even though you don't want to ever rock the boat too hard. Just fucking try
Just try and it's
It's it's this thing where it's like, hey, I'm like wide or people mad
But I'm yelling like it's kind of and it's it's it's that it's the indignation of like
I can't I can't believe madden is terrible this year again. How could they do this stop buying it?
Stop buying it. Yeah. No, that's never an option. Don't don't don't buy it every year. You idiot. No, uh, no
Oh, okay, baby wants his bottle. I guess keep stabbing your dick. Yeah
Yeah, no exactly
So, yeah, uh
smh my head
Fucking embarrassing look
And and like it's it's
It's
Whenever it drops, you know when it drops, I'm sure that frame rate will not be any better
I'm sure
Uh, uh, all of the it'll it'll have to be better than that trailer. That's real fast. I don't think so dude
I think it'll be very much like nope
This is what we're doing
This is the amount of money we're willing to spend on it
You're gonna play this game with whatever fucking frame rate we serve to you and that'll be that this feel this feels like
Like literally the richest company in the world is going look
It's it's the most important thing in the world and they hand you like deadly premonition one
Look we made it for you
I like they have so much money
They have oh you so much money
It's crazy how much money they have I I was just about to ask you like the most like
Mean question about a game possible
Because I was gonna ask you have you uh looked at klems's video detailing little town hero. I have it
So the reason why that's mean is that my brain didn't even go to have you played or seen
Little town hero because no you wouldn't have
Why would you have bothered that's how low that
Hey, so I watched klems's video on little town hero if you're interested you should check it out. Guess what that game sucks
What is it
It's uh, it's a shitty rpg where you walk around a town like a board game and fight monsters that attack the town
Yeah, okay
Uh the the one of the final points of klems's review, which you should check out so legitimately good
Is that toby fox composed a lot of music for it? Oh
Uh and the music's incredible
And the final boss fight is so bad and so annoying that klems is like I got really tired of toby's music
Wow
Okay, that's how bad
The fucking thing is
Well, that's that yeah, pokemon company killing it. I
I can I'm still I'm still amazed that um
No pokemon clones beat game freak to the punch on making a legends like game in the meantime
If anything, you know, no one just went for the the big unreal open world
Field
And just put a bunch of monsters in it and went all right go collect them and battle them and do your thing
I mean honestly, will he depending on
Depending on who you ask and how broad you want that to be
like
A lot of atlas games fit that exact template didn't didn't uh, oh sure
Yeah, you could you could if you with the demons you could say that I suppose
But didn't temtem still look like it was you know, uh isometric or not isometric, but top view
Temtem didn't look like they were trying to break the mold too much on that right? No, no, no, um
and
like
Digimon is more of a traditional rpg
Was there actually a pokemon like clone that was a large open world environment
Where you'd go into the forest or the different
Locations and and environs and yes catch the monsters open like that. There's two. Oh, what was it? Yeah
Nino kuni, okay
There's one okay, and it's nino kuni
And there is an argument to be made that nino kuni is like the best pokemon game
Yokai watch some people are saying fuck yokai watch
I
That was a giant open world
I
Yokai watch is so fucking weird
I don't know much about it other than the ff 14 weapons look like trash
Because it's all watch because it's a watch
Because when I see like footage of that it still looks like
Pokemon angle pokemon style. Yeah
So I didn't why I wasn't given the impression that that's exactly lunch just sitting on
The table for 25 years that nobody took
Mm-hmm. Oh the fourth one did it
Ah
Okay
Well, did that even come out here? I have no idea
All right, so there are examples
There are a few examples. It did not
Hmm
Well
No one you know what some people did take some of that lunch from the table
But no one took enough of it that it made an impact enough that I guess we heard about it
In that way that being said
man, dude
Like I think my favorite part of this whole thing is as pokeman fans. We're getting super angry
Uh, the pokemon official twitter account was like, hey guys, we just announced some stuff
What do you think is the most underrated pokemon?
And it really showed off like the intelligence level of the average person we were dealing with here
Because they were all like pikachu
Under yeah, I don't know most underrated. Yeah. Yeah charizard pikachu. It's just like yeah
Jesus
Exactly exactly
Holy shit doesn't say your favorite, but shut up. It's my favorite. I don't want to talk about anything else shut up
Yeah, imagine the imagine the shodos only feeling
like infinitely deeper and stronger
Uh
Pikachu super underrated man. He's still the best
Yeah, I saw that tweet. I choose not to evolve him because ash didn't ash is a loser
He won that one time
Did he
I he did win one season of the anime tournament at some point. Are you sure?
He did yes
There was a big whole thing about it where they it was literally a top news story
There was a news story that was shared on multiple mainstream news
Uh, uh, uh sites that was ash has finally won a league tournament championship
Oh, thank god
Only took him 20 years and his like art style looks completely different now
He looks like a different person practically, but yep. I did see that
Uh, anyway, so, you know congratulations 10 years old. Yes
It's okay
unapologetically
Uh, congratulations to pokemon fans
you've gotten
Much much in in these recent announcements and uh
Eat the food enjoy the food
Enjoy it
Or don't buy it or don't buy it. Yeah, that's it. No, that's not gonna happen. Those are your
Those are your choices. Nope. Nope. No, uh
Never gonna happen
I mean like like I like the fact that they did
Both a remake and and and and an experimental new direction thing
And they both gave them the exact non budgets that can be expected, but they even went for it is like
Yeah, I I'm like
Just like put your hands up and just go like fine. No fine
Just just take that take that and see whatever that turns into because if legends obviously goes on to become a thing with
Multiple entries in it. You could assume that by the time they hit legends 4
It might not have that frame rate issue anymore and and it might actually run kind of decent. No, no
It'll get worse
It'll get worse
Uh
No, seriously watch legends come out and they'll be like wow look at this incredible world. Are you ready to catch a whopping 40 pokemon?
Look we gave them animations
So I went back and I'm looking at the tweet and it's literally
It's not just hey, what's your favorite underrated? Oh, what's the most underrated pokemon and then
It not only is it
Pikachu, Storlax, Lucario, Charizard, but it's all in the same screenshot
Because they're one right under the other
Fucking hacks
All right, what else is you don't like the darkest moment in monster hunter history is
Is when they fucking put out monster hunter try on the we and it had 18 monsters
Well, wasn't the world number even the lowest world monster was like 40
Oh world monster was like I think was 35 at launch and by the end of the world it was like 45
Like it was it was 18. It was oh my god. Wow. It was so bad
Like so i'm just thinking of like
Check out
Our cs legends where you can catch like imagine if they said the monsters that we had seen and there's like 10 more
Right, right all your favorites
Um
God and then there was that whole pokemon go side fucking quest
That happened. Yeah, we yeah
Anyway
What a time
If you don't want perk up park park park park tar
You don't want pokemon to hurt you
So if you don't want pokemon to hurt your feelings anymore stop caring about it
Turn your back on it speaking of remakes forever entertainment
Who were behind the panzer dragoon saga remake
Have signed a deal with square enix to create several more remakes
You wish they were behind the panzer dragoon saga remake
They were behind the panzer dragoon remake
And they're gonna make zwei next
Yes
And now everyone's like please god damn it, please remake saga. Let me play saga please
So now they're being hired to make all kinds of remakes
Hopefully it's hopefully it's zwei orta and saga
Why is there so much confusion
Looking at the site announcement for this and it's all in polish
So that would be good. Yeah, okay. I can't get the full
Gists, but the google that would be some confusion
Does say that
They are here for making remakes several remakes based on
Brands owned by the japanese company. Okay
Sure
Those games are great. I want more of them
Could be anything squares making though doesn't specify exactly what um, what in particular
But remake there, but they have
Made a deal to make several remakes of games
Now to be fair there was an era back in the day where square would put out a lot of
Experimental shit, I'll say like
You know, I feel like maybe I'm just not paying attention as much anymore, but like there there used to be a
Really diverse
You know release schedule of square games over the years with shit like ironhander
and and
project silphied
and and uh
Uh, I always say end of eternity because I forget the the other name of it
Uh, something of fate
Resonance of fate there you go
Um
Yeah a lot of weird shit
God bless the ring
Then a square also had a bunch of shit to announce with the sony
one
FF7 remake integrate integrate
Interguard we're back to stupid fucking names everybody
Seven r.i
more importantly
We're back to stupid fucking expansion characters
And ever looming threat of gacked
Ticks closer
The gacked clock is one hour closer to midnight never been more real
It's so close because if you're bringing in
Durge of Cerberus and you're bringing in bringing the final boss of wise or
Or you know, you're bringing in dirge
That means redemption
And redemption is one step away
from um
Uh genesis fucking whatever the fuck he was called
I don't know the red dude
It's just no but he had the special final boss name for the who gives a shit the fully powered up version
Uh, yeah, we're getting real close
Real real rap sodius. There you go genesis genesis rap sodius
So I have I have a very bizarre piece of news that wasn't part of the announcement
So final fancy seven remake integrate is the ps5
probably pc version
Of ff7 r which will include the yufi kisaragi chapter with the other side group of avalanche
New character hanging out while that you were hanging out with otherwise. Oh, they were there the whole time
Mu tie infiltrate moogle costume
Yada yada and there's a girl there. She's just clearly designed by namur or blouse wraps over tits and but
animals bellbell
Like yep, yep, and you get it free if you own ff7 remake
Uh on the ps4
Right, that's nice ps5 version, right?
You get it. You get free. It's an upgrade
And ff7 remake is
Free on ps plus right now
Wait, but if you get the ps plus version
Of ff7 r you don't get the free upgrade to integrate on the ps5
If you get wait, you get wait, hold on you get the ps5 version, but the integrate version is not free. Oh, that's so confusing. Oh my god
Okay, hold on a second here. Hold on a second here. What are you talking about? Let's let's fact check this real quick
Okay
ff7 remake integrate in ff7
Intergrade is launching on june 10th
For ps4 and ps5 it is available as a free upgrade for sony's next-gen console for those who already own it on the ps4
um
But the enhanced visuals and framerate boost and such will only be on the next-gen console
Okay, no if you own the ps4 version of integrate you can get the ps5 version. Oh god, that's so confusing
That's just having both of the same version of the thing
It's not at all a free thing for remake owners
All right
Yeah
I'm I'm gonna stream that when it comes out
Yeah, yufi's gonna have all her moves and do all her stuff
And then she's gonna reshow up in the story later
Yeah, then then stuff
She'll be like who are you they'll be like who are you and you'll then yufi will be like i knew you were there the whole time
And then your save data will be like look it's all the shit you left on her
Do you think that yufi will still call tifa boobs?
I I
Don't think that's gonna get through
But I think something
I hope something equally funny makes it through
I doubt they're gonna do that
You
Honkers beefers milkers
Yeah, there it is just lean all the way in
Or just or just call her moo moo
Yeah, moo cow moo
Mm-hmm
Perfect. Okay, miss moo moo sow silky milky utter bitch. I don't have time for you. I need to do ninja stuff
Uh, so that is
Dropping a little bit later
Um boy that generic main character guy looks like some new main character generic man
Oh, you mean sonon
I want to say karabi. It's not karabi. They said yeah, so yeah, they said it last name didn't they
Something
But hey, he's sitting there in the in the artwork of her looking out over the city. So they read a dead shot sitting in
Death yeah
Yeah, no, he's gonna get got he's gonna get got by weiss
Yeah, no for sure weird for sure
Unless character shows up on screen. It's like oh look a talking grave unless
you know
unless unless
but also
Is is is he gonna put on a shirt?
when you fight him
Or is he just gonna be the shirtless crazy hair man again
They actually talked about that in an interview
About how they had to change the design to give him a shirt
Oh
Yeah, all right, they're like we wanted to make him look different this time. So he gave him clothes
cool
Yeah, he's he's a vr boss cool, okay
Of course, did you think he wasn't gonna squeeze his stuff in there?
He's absolutely waiting for it
You know to set the record straight
Um
They're gonna
Have to make a decision about gact though
at some point
Because he's not directing the next game, right?
Like they said a new director the co-director of remake is taking over for the next game
They're gonna have to make a decision about
Soldier g
And and and they're gonna have to you know actually
Commit to it write it out or redo it completely differently
Yeah
And I don't think it's gonna happen
um
Gax is gonna come out of his pod and you're gonna see the pod open from a front view shot
Then you're gonna go behind the pod from three-quarters angle and the pod door will open towards the camera
And you'll see a figure step out with his back
shrouded by the the door
and then
An explosion will go off due to time shenanigans and he'll go
My face
Ah, my face is burned. Ah
And my voice ah burned my throat my voice
And now and as he rise on the ground and burns and screams in the background you just hear
redemption
Perfect and then Steve Bloom's voice will come out of his voice. Yeah, I can't believe I'm the soldier. It's me soldier
I'm doing a wolverine voice never thought never thought you'd see me again
The original soldier me and seferoff don't you remember?
Yeah
There you go. That's how it's gonna happen. Yeah right there
I mean like
I'm like it's either that or they go, you know, what fuck it and they give gacked the phone call
and then
They get ready for this big old
promotional cross
fucking push campaign thing
And then on the eve of the announcement gacked goes on and says some embarrassing shit about woman again
And then they go, oh no
Oh god. Oh, jeez
Oh
Geez
Gacted
Yes, well anyway it regacted. Yeah. Yeah, so they also announced ff7 ever crisis and uh, this which is way more interesting
This is fucking interesting
Because for a long time
I remember bringing up
To to empty rooms. I would just stand in an empty room and go, okay, but what about before crisis though?
Yeah, and the empty room would not reply the empty room would a lot of stuff happens in before crisis
And I'm like people who speak english don't know about because you're never gonna get to play. Oh wait
What now empty room? I hear you and I hear your points. However
Look at this artwork of all the turks
And all these members that are very important and the founding of the group
And and all this important shit that happens before the story
And all these members of avalanche that make barrett look fucking reasonable and calm by comparison
And the empty room continues to just blow wind in my direction and I'm like, you know what fair enough
No one asked. I apologize for even bringing it up
but apparently now
This project has decided to make noise
About before crisis which was prior to now locked on cell phones
Uh in the handset era of japan
And then I think the no wait there was a fan translation project at some point. I think um
anyway, this is gonna be
a
Story about a young seferoff
It's a command style rpg that retells
Advent children in game form and before crisis
new chapters every month with shibi characters
and um
Yeah, it seems to just be a vehicle
Don't don't forget though. Hold on. It's not just before crisis and advent children
and dirge
And crisis core and ff7
Okay, hold on a second. Did you did you not see the trailer?
f of seven before cry uh
Six years before ff7 trailer up until dirge is nervous. Look at this
Like the whole trailer is the is a is a old style remake of ff7
The thing that people were actually asking for for decades
Yeah, that's wild that is wild. Okay, so this thing is going to be uh
Continuously updated is is the way they're describing it chapter a month they say
And it's a and it's a mobile project
Yeah
So, you know, you know what I see here? I see for the mobile version it will be on ios and android
It will be one episode a month until it's done
And then when it's done what like when a game is done. Mm-hmm. They will be released as full products
Man
Right, that's so nuts. They're just then they're just like, okay. We'll tell the whole fucking story
Everything everything everything an ff7 style
Yeah in the ff7 chibi style and like the the battle graphics look like ff7 remake
And like it is literally when people's asked for like an ff7 remake
And then they saw the ff7 remake what it actually was
There was a lot of people who said like I literally just wanted you to just do the whole game over with like
Uprez pre-render background and here it is. Yes
And and then people would say we'll get the pc version and do the the mako mod, right? And it's like
Well, no, they're actually going to do it and we're going to do it for crisis core 2
And crisis core will like the way it looks it's probably going to be completely new game like a crisis core in the style of ff7
In the style of f7. Yeah, everything everything in the rpg style better because crisis scores gameplay kind of sucks
No, that's that's honestly pretty red
And it's like the shibi style on the overworld thing like they look better than the actual
Original ff7 they look much better than the old pop-eye hands
Yeah, like when you see zack like swinging and moving on the overworld and shit like that
It's like no no he's moving in a much more detailed way. In fact, it's much more like kingdom hearts
Yeah, when you see him like jumping off the train
They've got really hot like gorgeous looking like portrait art for all the characters
I did see those portraits. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they look those look pretty good
And then when you get into fights, it's just it's the actual remake full detailed models
Intern based style
Like there this is really really exciting for a lot of ways one before crisis and advent children
And crisis core will be saved from their respective problems
Of which there are many
But more importantly, we're gonna get a new translation of ff7 like a real
actual translation of ff7 with all side stories and compilation content all
Worked in together in a single coherent like space
I want coherent quote unquote. I didn't check
I didn't check I really should have gone and see like what does tim have to say about this now the question
Uh, I'm wondering is with this being monthly. Are they selling you every chapter individually?
I assume they are
Hmm
Or they'll sell like the pass
right
Hmm
That would be the the move to make money on this wouldn't it?
Well, we'll see
But yeah, that's that's a crazy unexpected thing alongside this whole remake
Timeline is just here's redoing the old shit in a way that is
actually just the
prettying up of the old thing you wanted
um, and
it seems like
the type of thing that can be done by like
A much smaller team considering, you know, you don't have to voice act or
Do much besides just translate and uh convert existing content to this
Like you need so creatively. They don't have to worry too much about what's going on there people on board that are there to be like
Don't fuck it up. Yeah, obviously, but like for the ff7 portion of it, which I think is the most exciting like it's a trace job
Like like literally trace over the ps1 game
until it's finished
and then for all the other games, it's like
Convert this map into, you know top view
and and you know
Populate and put your triggers in point percent of crisis cores terrible content
Okay, but agile though
Oh, I'm talking about the side missions. Okay
I 100% at crisis core and about 80% of that game is terrible side missions
That game has problems
Uh, yeah, uh, this was a very long time ago
What's your goal angiel world domination that's not even funny, man
You know
With crisis core and ff7 and before crisis and dirge of Cerberus
Getting all this love acb and avid cdc
It kind of makes you feel
Like characters in crisis core before crisis and dirge of Cerberus
Will be a value of people to know in the coming years
Probably right probably like dirt like yufi's moogle suit is from dirge of Cerberus
In fact
What if by offering this to the masses
Those who look for the faithful telling are appeased
So that the non-faithful telling can get away with whatever the fuck it wants
Something like that and so that people who go who the fuck is zack
There's an answer to this is who the fuck zack is
You know, maybe this is just a fucking
Uh, a sacrifice on the on the the pit
So that man, this is just when this is a win-win for everyone
You think last order is going to work in there?
No last order is like
Last order is like a half hour version of a cutscene that was like animated up like it
There's nothing new in last order. I'm still mad that it's l o
Yeah, it doesn't count
Like like when they made it they literally knew it wouldn't count because it doesn't follow the a
And a then then letter fucking naming convention assholes
It's breaking everyone's this like all of this legitimately makes me feel that
um
Like the final fantasy seven remake two will have an f in it
Like it will be a like the subtitle will be af
Hmm it would fc would be the necessary letters though
Yeah, no it would be a somebody in jet said fucking crisis
No, yeah
It would have to be fc start and eras is looking at the sky going fuck
Forever crisis people are that could work
Final crisis. Yeah, yeah final. Oh, that's so on the nose for like a hundred different reasons
But then they could never do anything after it. Yeah, they get a final crisis too
Well, hey, hold on or I want you to look what you wait then you don't see the camera
And tell me that putting the word final in a final fantasy game if they could never do anything after
Not only do they have free reign to do anything afterwards, but then you get g c
And god only knows
Who comes along then
Gacked crisis
I feel like this is kind of like yeah, I said before it's win-win for everybody. Everybody's gonna get what they want
All right, um
That's one of those crazy
um bianna commando
remake
Rather bianna commando relaunch and bianna commando rearmed
Announcements where they're like oh by the way, we're also making this so here
So just if you're a fan, here's the old thing and here's the new thing and here's everything
The the the difference is like the scope on this is like
astonishing
The only thing i'm worried about
Is that I hope that the ff7 episodes are not like a truncated version of the story. No
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It has to be full
It has to be it has to be the whole thing. Yes. Yes traced over and if they're doing the whole actual game of ff7
Every other supplementary story is shorter than that. So
Waste way shorter it would be it would be silly to truncate those
When you're putting all the work into the full fucking, you know giant game anyway. Yeah
I mean
Advent Children
Is it's a fucking movie. It's it's it's whatever it's an hour and a bit like you're not
You don't need to to to do much
summarizing on that
Uh crisis core, I mean you can cut out all the
Shit that's not mainline. I suppose and and and that'll that'll be fine
Um dirge the the the press release the official statement
is
File fancy seven ever crisis is a chapter structured single player experience that covers the entire timeline
In one of the most popular installments the squares rpg franchise
But compilation will feature all the events from each game
Including new story elements focusing on the origin of soldier. Sure
Original content as well
what is
like what I can see happening here is
Like you know how there is like town exploration open modes and then there is you're on a pathway like
Um
rail events
Right, I could see most events playing out on rails
Conversation rail conversation rail run into the room battle battle battle next room like the intro like literally the intro right the the the the reactor
Um, I could see it playing out events along the lines of that and and getting rid of giant open
um
Town exploration npc talking building exploring events, you know
I could see that
um pushing you down the the next story event
Ever crisis is also coming with first soldier
Do you know what first soldier is?
That is that not the sephiroth story the young sephiroth story we're just talking about
No, it's the battle night. It's the battle royale
What
Oh my god, what is that?
Wait, what is that?
Hold on. I've never heard of this. Hold on
Hold on
woolly
We're gonna get raw trailer reactions from you right now. I've never heard of this. I just sent it to you. I just sent it to you
It's in your discord
Final fantasy seven the first soldier
30 years before the events of ff7
Rufus is looking over a city
project zero
To supplement their military prowess shinra forms soldier an experimental core
Battle royale for iOS or android. Oh my god
Wait, when did this come out four days ago this this was in the same trailer as ever crisis, dude
Oh my god, it's a battle royale game
Oh, this is canon
Yeah, dude
Include the events of this
Oh my god, this is canon
All the stupid fucking fortnight money grab is absolutely a car. Oh wow
Okay
all right
sure
A bunch of unnamed soldiers fight each other while rufus watches don't you want to don't you want to
Fortnight snipe people in arith's rooftop church. Oh man, they're using those assets, huh?
Oh, they sure are
Yep, it's it's it's the church. It's the fucking
It's aris house
The dawn's fighting pit
Man to be available in 2021 bro use those assets. Fuck it use them out of all of these
Use them soldiers gonna be the one that comes out first
sure
Sure
Use your use all that shit you spent the money on
Cash the fuck out. This is another pat
So this is not real news. This is pat news
But I feel pretty confident about this. Do you know what all this shit tells me deep in my heart?
That that second ff7 game is really far away really far away
It's really far away. It's like crazy like not even remotely stop thinking about it far away
Oh, yeah
like
First soldiers coming out this year ever ever crisis
starts
Next year like and it's one episode a month
So that's gonna go for two years like we thought perhaps they had started planning some shit out when they dropped
this
First remake and it's like absolutely go fuck yourself. Not they were making you fee and now they're making all these other things
And that is a huge
Fucking absolute massive boon to forget about ff7 r2. Just just wipe it from your brain
Ff7 r2 is like legitimately like 2024 at the absolute earliest
At the at the absolute earliest
Yeah, no the the commitment to go down this road was one that like
Is like, okay, we'll start
but shut up
People are saying ff16 is 2023. Okay ff7 r2 will be 2025 then
In the meantime, let's catch back up on all this shit
You know why because you have to yeah
Yeah, this whole thing screams like we want to do weird weird shit in the in the next one
Oh, yeah, that will require you to know all of this
and also
Be okay with it because here we just did it for you again
Did you know who was really behind those shinra murders on the gold saucer? That's right. It was sisne
Sisne was there
She did it for vincent
Because she's cute. I don't know it does. I picked a brain. I mean look it it honestly though
Like it works if you give people the like remake faithful version of events like this
It absolutely takes the heat off of the the proper giant game
Oh, totally to do what people wanted their memories to recapture 100 it takes all the heat off
I'm just as excited forever crisis as I was for ff7 r
It's brilliant. It's quite smart
Uh, yeah, let's take a
Four next news story. Can we take another quick break? Okay. I gotta take a okay. I gotta take a moment
Yes
So isn't it funny that we talked about two Japanese companies?
Making remakes of their decades old
RPG series and one makes everybody upset and the other makes everybody
Like very joyful. Yeah
Isn't that kind of funny? Mm-hmm
And uh, both consist of making a crazy new version of the thing and the classic remake of the older thing
Yeah, it's all about execution
It really is actually about it's actually also about money. Yes
Certainly
But you know that that what I mentioned uh, rearmed just now it's like no, this is a
Like coming bearing gifts in both hands is a is a thing
You know classic franchise
Come with a little bit of a and b
You know and then go like
You know puritans faithful fans
Of old here you go
New kids give us your money. Here you go
Absolutely
Uh, yeah, so
You think they're gonna eventually pull it off of uh phones you think so
Absolutely, but only once they're completely like finished
Like it'll be the opposite of like what happened with like the ace attorney games and like ghost trick
Or when they went to phones they became like chapter based
right
Okay, so then after that sony confirmed the ps5 vr hardware
That's not all that shocking
Yep, so they they in fact uh last week we got a a little bit of an update like a preview about it
But essentially they're you know ps5 vr is happening and um, which is like I was wondering like are they just abandoning, you know
Uh everything they were doing there because it'd be really weird considering
Oculus is
Getting really competitive now with that like oculus has stepped it up quite a bit
um, and yeah, the new vr system for ps5 is going to
Uh, quote-unquote enhance everything single cord connection
new vr controller using dual sense features
And it's not coming this year
cool
Hope it's as big as a pair of sunglasses
Yeah
Uh not for another couple years
Yeah single cord is good though single cord is good
Though I
really do
like
The freedom of the quest not having anything connected to it like that feels very nice
and
The sooner we can get to that on just about everything the better but
Yeah, admittedly that's and that's not you know, um, that's probably not in the cards for a playstation tie-in hardware, you know
Uh
Anyway, uh, so yeah, just a little confirmation on that
and
Uh, yeah, that was pretty much that was that was what sony had to say that was the week
um
Four new characters coming to skull girls
Full on a full season pass
I saw that and my retweet says everything that I want to say which is I literally cannot believe this. Yeah
I mean, so when
um
When hidden variable came out and said hey
We're gonna make any and we're gonna keep making skull girl stuff
And it's gonna be without mic and we're just because we own this is our
Product and we're gonna keep working on it. They did pretty much say right there that they're like we have more stuff planned
You know, yeah, but I didn't think it was gonna happen. Yeah, that's
That's exactly it like
No one did right because they said it in the in that same statement
but no one really actually like
Thought it was gonna be a thing but like yeah, they're like, okay. No annie's dropping and then here come another
Here comes a full season
So skull girls is you know, gonna be back in the limelight and
I mean, it's a fucking good ass game with rollback. So why not?
Uh
Good good shit good shit on that bring it back
Turn the beat back
And I do have a another piece of news after this
um
The more anything with rollback gets
Support the better the better it all is
uh kof 15
They were getting bullied into
Basically saying hey assholes. We don't give a fuck
What's going on and uh, you know, uh, eventually
The with the hashtag s and k rollback, you know, uh kind of pressuring all the announcements
They came out oda came out and said yep
Okay
So we didn't announce anything yet because we were not finished working on it
But since the start of the game, we've been trying to get rollback in
And so they basically went to kof 15, you know, the plan is the plan as it stands is for it to have rollback
uh will
Will samurai showdown get saved uh not fucking likely
No way
So that's what that is and all right, so we got capcom arksis and s and k
All right, namco
Like next year that fighting game round table is going to be literally every single one of them going man this rollback
It's crazy. We're getting lots of overseas sales. Technically, you know, oh, yeah, that's true. Oh, man
Harada. Oh man, we got
Harada's gonna come out like guys. I know we said we already had rollback
And I promise you that was the truth, but we have now seen the light. We've switched to blitz netcode
We've made the switch. Oh, no, no Tekken now runs on blitz
He'll he'll come out and he'll be like guys. We've really heard your complaints. We've decided Tekken is now four
Yes
Yes, yes
perfect
I mean he he can't come out and announce rollback for Tekken if he says it already has it
Right, so he it would have to be
They have to be like we're re we're re engineering something you'd have to say it in some different way
Because that would be not good. That's that's one of the weirdest ones ever for me because it's like
No Tekken totally already has rollback and like everyone on the planet is like really
It doesn't then it's not working properly if so because it's it's bad then
If it does then you guys have if you fucked it all up because it's bad
So, uh, but yeah, yeah, that's what's happening over on the the the snk side of things
So we shall see
You're whining as born fruit
Saudi deals still on the table. All right, let's take some letters
Hey, man. Do you think Harada is like seeing people talk about rollback and just getting super pissed
No, cuz he thinks I don't care about this shit. No cuz he cuz he
Again, like his thing is no, we're we're the good guys. We're already doing it
You know, he's like no, we're already doing it though
All right new strategy
Don't bug Harada for all back all everybody within the sound of my voice
instead
Be like wow
Guilty gear plays so great online, especially compared to Tekken
Wow, it's not about the magic word sure has much better netcode than Tekken. It's not about the magic word. Yeah
It's about it's about simply the performance itself
Yeah, make it petty
Yeah, make it make it like man debtor alive even has better netcode than Tekken. That's crazy
That's wild who would have ever thought I'd be sitting here going
I'd rather play DOA than Tekken, but because of Tekken's bad rollback. I just love DOA
DOA 7 now. Oh, jeez
Ggpo hires it a gacky. Oh, no
Oatmeal fighter coming down with rollback roll your oats back to the field
That has made any sense at all
Set your input delay and your age
Oh
Man if you got a letter send it in to castle super beast mail at gmail.com
All right, we got one here coming in from Sheldon
Uh says wool smith and pat bundy
Recently don't care for that
started a
spreadsheet
Uh called Ryu's hands
Due to his inclusion of fortnight and I wanted to list how many people he's fought with I found an appreciation
for
Uh the translations of Ryu into other games my current favorite
Excuse me being tatsunoko versus capcom where baroque is amazing baroque is amazing baroque is a really cool system
Yeah, that's a good ass system. They should bring that back in something
Uh my question is do you have a character that appears in multiple versions?
Uh places and worlds where the guest incarnation is better than the source they're from
Uh
I don't like to play dual blades, but monster hunter in infinite sure makes them look a lot cooler than they are very cool
Goddamn regular monster hunter. Very very cool
Uh shovel knights incarnations are getting pretty amazing. I don't know if you've seen for honor
But for honor put in a shovel knight
Uh uh uh cameo and it's kind of nuts because it's just
like
shirtless
beef tattooed shovel knight
And it's it's pretty solid. Um
I would say
Um
If not shovel knight
Yeah, go check that out. It's great. I would say uh dig duck guy
Hori taizo
Is cooler in every game. That's not dig dug
That he is in dig dug
Hori taizo is the least cool in his own game and every cameo he makes in every other game
He gets cooler and and batter
Ass yeah, because the little dig dug man is like, oh, that's cute
But then when little dig dug man is a man with a gun that inflates you until you explode
Mm-hmm. That's very different
Uh hori in in namco x capcom is a badass
Uh, but also in mr. Driller. He's like the veteran
Digger, he's mr. Driller's dad. Driller's dad is the dig dug guy tori taizo
So, uh, I would say
That uh, that's that's that's probably my
Vote for better in his cameos than he is in his source. Oh wow somebody in the chat did it for me
I couldn't think of one and then they said banjo kazooie in smash
Which is perfect because banjo kazooie in banjo kazooie sucks
But he's actually kind of fun in smash
Great thank you, sir incredible moving on
Raghavan says hey guys just wondering why all anime games end up being fighting games except for attack on titan
Why is there such a darth of character action or action combat games based on anime?
Uh, the shonen arcs I feel particularly would be fantastic and would fit video games, uh with character growth, etc
I'm thinking something like you know yasha or full metal alchemist with platinum's combat or something similar
What are your thoughts on the manner my friend? I'm guessing you were not around for the ps2 era
It sounds to me
like, uh, you were
not around
when
Ghost in the shell standalone complex had a ps2 game caboy bebop had a ps2 game
samurai shampoo
full metal alchemist
Gants
They're all terrible all of these games had adventure game action games
They were bad
They were not fighting games, but they were tie ins that came out and were just fast cheap and shitty
Some better than others
ghost in the shell
was better than a bunch of the shit on this list admittedly, but
Uh, yeah, that's that was the entire late ps2 era was anime tie ins
so
um
They did that and then they stopped
Probably because these things didn't sell because they were very bad
Anime games that are uh shonen
tournament arc things
It's just it's it's an easier thing to do. Yeah, I mean your average shonen manga or anime is
a
Series of like literally a hundred to two hundred one-on-one fights
It's it's it it makes itself into a fighting game so easily arena battle. It's just it's a much lower effort
for um
similar ass sales and accolades if people are fans
They're just going to pick the thing up and it is what it is, but yeah fucking. Yeah, even uh
Even early jojo games there were there were like like when you go
Before heritage for the future you get into that weird fucking uh
Part five game and you get into um
There was a part one game as well going way back like there's all kinds of weird shit
um
Yeah, they just they they used to come out two three generations ago and they just sucked
Uh
Right, uh, here's one coming in from
Uh
Ragav says dear castle super beast
Baked grapefruit is the solution as someone who despises things bitter and cannot stand the tartness of most american citrus
I feel the need to spread the gospel
I hated grapefruit with a passion until I was at a bed and breakfast where the chef have the grapefruit
Dusted it with cinnamon and brown sugar and baked it for 20 minutes at 400 fahrenheit
The heat kills the tartness and only the sweet flavors remain spiced with cinnamon and brown sugar
Bonus points for the roll warm fruit for breakfast
Attached as a photo give it a shot. I hope you enjoy it
It I mean looks good
It looks really good
I believe that but I could just eat a fruit that I didn't have to bake in the oven
That's fair, but I already like grapefruit, so I'm very down. Well. I mean if you already like grapefruit, then this is a win for you
Yeah, that sounds incredible
That you know it is extremely tart, but I do like it
Um and there's a photo in it the photo looks really nice, so
I believe you and I believe this person
but no thanks
I mean it feels like any food opinion given whatsoever
Requires either an extreme revile and disgust or absolute solidarity
but uh
I have a lot of apathy towards food things
Like you know the ones that people remember the ones where people go. I can't believe you do that or oh, I love that
But like most weird food stuff
I'm apathetic towards because it's like yeah, that seems fine. Not probably not for me
But I'm not not offended by it like I am by
like
Fucking putting a slice of cheese on apple pie
Yeah, and I mean and but there's there's some shit where it's just like if it's not being given to you as a kid when you eat dinner
Growing up then you kind of just you will have no reference point for it. I remember in high school
I kind of learned real quick
That like white people don't really understand plantin as a part of dinner
You know that's that seems to be a a carabin thing
and well
And even then a white people right here and I could tell you
That I'm not even sure what you're talking about. Yeah
Yeah, so there you go
You mean like a banana like a bit exactly, which is what they would say and I would be talking to my uh, um
My friends in high school and I'd be like yes, it's like a banana, but it's not a banana. It's a plantain and
plantain would be
cut up and fried and served with
Rice and peas and meat and it would be an essential part of dinner
You know what I'll I'll say
I love my mother very dearly. She's very she's like one of my favorite people in the world. I'm very lucky
but
um
Because of her
I'm sorry. Am I pronouncing it the way my granadian mother taught me to my mistake. I'm sorry if that bothers you go on but
Due to her
Cooking style
I hated
Rice my whole life until I went to college
Because rice was cooked with fucking
celery salt
And it was dry and you would get asked if you wanted to put some butter on it
And I she'd always asked me if I wanted more rice and I'd be like no, thank you
No, thank you
And then I would and I would skip I would literally we get Chinese food and I would not eat the white rice
Because I would look at it and I go oh rice
And I was out with some friends
uh
I was out with some friends and we went to super noodles next to Dawson
And I wasn't eating my white rice
And a friend of mine asked why aren't you eating your white rice? I'm like, oh
Butter and they're like they looked at me like I was literally the craziest person to ever exist
And I was like what and then I had the the sticky white rice and I was like
What the fuck is this?
Oh, what and I got super pissed. It was so angry. Yeah
Yeah
Trained you wrong as a joke
My mother is a sweet woman, but she is not the best cook
You've mentioned
And my grandmother is a terrible dead woman
Who was a cook that I'm shocked didn't kill me
I can no longer enjoy lamb because of my grandmother's cooking
That sucks because lamb is really good
Lamb seems good, but every time I bite into it
All I can think of is the lamb we had at grandma's 15 years ago that I can only describe
as
Slime
Yeah
That I mean that happened to me with the the rotten potato salads and egg salads and shit, so
You know it just ruins it forever
There is a really great lamb place here. Afghani food. It's kiberpass
You know give it a shot if you ever could there. I actually I had to bite a pages thing. It was pretty good. It's incredible. Yeah
Well, you you you you've watched Seinfeld. Do you remember that bit where?
um
Mr. Costanza is in the army and he finds some past its prime meat
And he's like if I spice it enough like cook it long enough
Like that's my grandmother. It'll be fine. Yeah. Yeah, like the meat the meat's gone. Don't worry. We just
Yeah, we we just do it
um, so
I think the ultimate in in in by the way
In talking earlier about learning things or hearing things or catching tidbits and facts and details and having people
Uh, uh correct you over the past nine years on everything that comes out of your mouth
Is one that is literally a childhood dish staple of everything I ate for dinner
For years growing up and having a bunch of white people in chat telling me i'm saying it wrong like fuck off
Holy shit. That's holy shit. Fuck off
That's the that's the core knowledge that you are in fact a complete expert at the topic. God the topic is your own life
I am not you. Holy shit
Anyway, um
We got one coming in from wade
Anyway, what up, man says, uh, dear pat the pocket husband and woolly the lion sotan bori
um
This isn't a question but since pat shows such delight in rise of skywalker lady in the audience
I feel you would enjoy this
I saw force awakens on opening night in theater when the trailer started
It showed the trailer for captain america civil war when tony hawk
Excuse me
Um when tony stark
When tony stark shows up in the iron man suit
A child in the audience excitedly yelled. Yeah iron man
The trailer then continued and it ends with cap and bucky absolutely destroying tony
Oh, yeah, I remember that trailer and as the trailer ends I can hear a voice that sounds bordering on tears
A kid going why are they beating up iron man?
Oh
Yo, he got fucking bodied that I remember seeing that and I called that the team hyper combo finish
In the theater just bop and then their weapon is fucking ass
They literally trade the shield off at one point. He rocks him with the shield and bucky catches it
He fucks him up
He drops to his knees and they keep going. He got fucking beat
stomped out
Took his fucking tims brah
Like I love it damn
um
His dad quietly consoled him as he was absolutely distraught
To this day
My friends and I sometimes bring up the poor kid when we talk about movie theater audiences
Oh, I fucking love it. I love it. Holy shit
Oh, man
Oh, he gets rocked so hard, dude
Like it just keeps going too like it boom boom boom boom
Oh, shit that was good that was a good one
Yes, indeed
All right
All right, so we forgot to actually say like what's going on this week on our channel. Oh, you did. I didn't do mine
Do you mind if I do mine? Yeah, did you already cut it? Okay?

That's a sponsored. Also, we're gonna be probably maybe finishing up cotor two
Uh more hitman and tomorrow not tomorrow on wednesday
I've decided to take a look
At a game called satisfactory
Uh the reason for this
being
Uh, I had a huge thread over the weekend about creativity and the comparison of your own buildings
in a game
Towards your compatriots and the inadequacy that can make you feel in a in a thing or what have you yeah, that was dumb
Fuck off. Anyway
Talked with many people and I think I learned something
So I've decided to just say fuck it and just dive right in to the most extreme variation of this possible
And uh y'all will be able to check out the results of that shit
On uh wednesday
satisfactory
There you go. That'll be fun. Uh, yeah, and
Like I said starting this week on woolly versus we got arkham asylum
