I I Alright first things first Morbius Sweeped the fucking nation with a 300,000 pull this weekend over 1,000 theaters Ending up at an approximate profit of $289 per theater We can put the sweep down for a minute

Um, it's blasphemous But put the fucking sweep down for a minute further more we can bicker about Street Fighter 6 later Because whatever all that shit clear the fucking table This is me putting my hand on the table and clearing it. All right put put the turkey on there What's the turkey single question? What the fuck do you know about our our our? Nothing other than I saw someone mention that exact lettering Somewhere on my Twitter like our our is a movie. It is a film. It is a movement

It is an attitude. It is the greatest Let me set you up RRR is basically a three-hour epic about a Revolution against the British Raj in India circa 1920 Filtered through the lens of Singham

Of course, okay. I was like so I just looked it up and I saw the poster and I'm like, oh It's sing him again Welcome to go a sing ham except it's everything This is the truth This movie dude. Oh my god Um and and and here's the bit, right? There's a lot of movies out there There's a lot of movies that come out and you see like Indian high spectacle insane over-the-top extreme octane action and and

ridiculous CG and like Dance numbers that are just like out doing each other and a lot of that has been like singham represents like a peak of that but it is not a It's not the only one. I'm a lot Definitely was the peak of that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh for sure But but singham represents the way like like they got they got the fucking the the the the mustache They got the muscles. They got the CG. They got the roar. They got the the music everything together into like a high moment for all of that Bollywood cinema and

RrR is just taking it to the next level and furthermore It is like there's up like there's a spiritual baton pass in the form of singham himself the actor is in the movie as She is as the the parent of one of the main characters, so it's like Okay, okay. All right step one I see I see we're okay RrR roar people people asking what the fuck is a singham type it into the fucking Google search engine you morons roar rise revolt is

Is the the the title of this movie and it is about Like to be perfectly honest like I was gonna say like two two characters that like rise up and fight But it's like it's two superheroes. It's really what it is. Yeah, and Like they're just like look like again the the if singham is sparta Okay, and there has to be a The the the next generation that comes you know you have these two main characters. They're from different sides, they're from different provinces and

one of them is a Supercop Who's who's you know working for the the the Raj and the other is From a tribe that comes from the forest and you know fire and ice quite literally In the logo and all over every like fight scene and every moment There is not a there is like no time wasted in this three-hour fucking epic And it's it's an epic in the the correct usage of the word epic It is like it's not just like the extreme

Sincerity of like the since the singham like plot or the the the the fight scenes It is the sincerity of like the love scene the bromance the the the the every every aspect is just pure You know unfiltered. There's no There's not even an attempt at subtext at almost in India Likes to make video games the way ace combat makes flying a play sorry India likes to make movies the way

Ace combat makes flying a plane Like it's it's too sincere. It's it's like caustic in its sincerity the clothes like the closest thing to a Layer that you might unpeel here is the name the the main characters having names that are reminiscent of like characters from Gods from an old epic tale, you know But I mean holy shit man like

These that like the the pair of heroes They established themselves by just Basically like meeting up to rescue a child in danger, you know and despite being from Beings basically like star-crossed origins They come together and form the purest bond that you know, it's pure because Within about 45 seconds of their first like burly handshake and the music starts playing And they're carrying each other on each other's shoulders and running through open fields and frolicking. Yeah, it's the best you know

The Top Gun movie came out recently But it makes me think of and it would combine with this It's like do you remember when your your hyper masculine man Would have a part in their man movie where they took their shirt off and like frolicked in the ocean With their friend slash rival Like almost every time Absolutely, right Rocky and fucking Apollo in the ocean Yeah, that's hilarious that energy went away and and and our our

Brings it back and it is like again like literal frolicking in a field You know It's like they just they basically show you the friendship blossom over montage and it's unbelievable, you know And then every aspect about it like so the guy there the evil governor Scott is the The the the representative of like the you know the British overlords that are that are ruling at that time in 1920 mind you and

This is also a Like since night it's 1920 So it's not the 40s when it actually when the Raj was actually overturned and stuff But this is your like inglorious bastard style like fuck it We're just picking a setting and going in hard anyway, and it doesn't matter because like when we need Our soldiers to look like they're from the 20s They they they are but when we need them to look like a Vietnam like fucking team with like literal 70s technology it doesn't matter. We're gonna just do it shut up though, you know

It's it's great too because as far as historical villainy goes The Indian British occupation is a good fucking pick Mm-hmm. I was just reading up the other day that Southeast Asians from India Pakistan that kind of area because of the absurd Dozens of famines they had to deal with over the past 200 years many of them are starvation adapted physically Oh, you can play so so if your uncle has a little bit of a pouch Yeah, literally the British's fault Okay, so there's a plot point in the movie

Well at one point where one of the main characters in captivity is being fed only once a week and is totally fine Because fuck it Determination pushes you to your limits and makes you surpass them, you know and and they many just you know He's fine like it's like oh, let's check out Let's check in on the fucker who we've been feeding once a week He's gonna be groveling and they walk into him doing like chain pull-ups Drop glistening sweat, you know staring at the Capitol on the mountain go like Like it's it's so sick because like like there are real life like DT's like characters in this story pop DT's

It's unbelievable Yeah, so the the governor Scott is the evil British man who is ruling over in the area in Delhi in this setting and He is played as none other than fucking Ray Stevenson himself Punisher man From war zone second the second Punisher

Okay, so he plays like super evil British dude, and I don't know how Yeah, I don't know what the what the casting How it came together, but in fact he is I saw some folks talking about how they had to get Mostly Irish actors because they had difficulty getting British ones that would play the evil British. Oh, I can yeah I believe that and the Irish will fucking jump at the chance Every oh every evil moment has a giant Union Jack in the back waving Like it's like they frame it. They frame it

You know, it's fucking awesome where you fucking watch like movies that came out of Hong Kong And you've watched movies that come out of fucking India and you watch movies that come out of this country or that country and like The fucking British or the villains like 90% of any of them that take place between like before like I don't know 1945 Yeah never sets. Oh, oh, yeah, oh exactly so Like this thing like literally it's like for the for the purposes of upping the ante of this of the difficulty of Enemies because your level one enemies are just regular old British soldiers are from the 20s Yeah, I'm full of security employees of the East India Company or right

But but how do you but like for the for things for the pace and the tension and the difficulty to remain high You have to eventually introduce blitzes. You have to introduce, you know, like the the the The Angelo's if you would and so at that point you just go like we're reaching into the future and just grabbing future soldiers And like make oh, yeah, you know the opponents at this point and it doesn't fucking matter Yeah, and then oh my god like it's and again, it's not just the combat It's not just the fighting because it is exactly as intense when you're gonna cut hard to your musical number, which you must Right, it's mandatory But the the mandatory musical number doesn't just have to be a musical number that is uh like

um What's the word for when it like you leave the setting and you go into the musical realm and everyone is just in that realm And then you re-enter I I don't I don't know what the the way Okay, I don't know how to describe that like if it was a single actor it'd be a soliloquy But in terms of like musical transportation Well, I forget what it's called, but there's a word for that But anyway, it's not that there is like you can have those musical scenes be diagetic where the World is uh the musical scene has to happen because we're having a dance off with the Brits

Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, sure. You know um So it it absolutely because usual your usual bollywood dance number is is like everyone's Like they didn't go to space or magic realm or whatever, but it's it's primarily metaphorical Exactly and like no no no no we can make it count in the story and make it make sense As with honestly most of the song most of the songs Like every time it cuts to the to the music, which it's gonna do like a bollywood Uh, uh movie has to it's it kind of it's diagetic it mostly

All occurs realistically within the world, you know um Incredible so Fucking uh, yeah, I I cannot I cannot stress and recommend RRR enough If you have any love or any enjoyment for singham in your body if you haven't seen singham Then go see singham Because that's singham has mandatory Singham has an ending so insane that me and woolly were like screaming at each other about it the whole way back

To where we were like and what you need to understand about like like that style of of The style of justice depicted Right in india in these in these stories That is not exclusive To singham or any like that is that is a culturally understood approach To evil And RRR continues the tradition and pulls no punches make no mistake, you know, you know, I would love to see I would love to see a bunch of indian movies like this just like

Come out here as as real movies like don't have to download it don't have to stream it just like So I want to see fucking this thing. I think I saw a trailer for this uh a few days ago Okay Does it have a part where like a shit zillion guys are angry at a tiny little fenced in cube of the british? Okay, yeah, no, I did see a little piece of this and i'm like this looks like that singham shit The dynastee warrior scene. Yeah, that's that's the start. That's the establishing scene for the cop character It's literally dynastee warriors moment. Yeah, absolutely. Uh mooso for a minute I um

Yeah, I I the the There's a there's a a way that films over here tend to depict um heroic morality And a lot of the time like well, for example, you go watch the punisher because your the punisher is not subscribing to that And that's kind of what's different in a way. You're like, I'm I'm really sick of the crackheads who hang out on my stoop Let me just let me just have a fantasy moment. Um, but the the uh Well more like the dealers really, but the I don't think frank makes in a many exception Yeah, it gets it gets muddled at points. Definitely. Um

Or they're anyway, um My favorite thing to talk about the punisher is what happens in a world with no drug use or crime or theft Does he just start blowing away grandmas who are jaywalking? Well, because it's like it's like no because the the bit is like, um did uh Did the mob wife happen to overhear something sketchy from their husband on the phone one time Yeah, she could get it too Yeah, it's a whole like hey hey like frank gets a phone call as he's like blowing up a dealer's house like frank

They decriminalized weed just now Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm No, no, no I don't know. I don't know how uh, how like Canada is to every version of the punisher, but there was that one depiction where once the mission is done He's his final victim Yeah, yeah, I am there. There's there is there's more crime out in space. Sure uh, but anyway, um

The the usual depiction is is often like, you know, let the villain The best the most poetic ending is when the villain Is shown mercy, but then they end up betraying that mercy and then accidentally get themselves killed because justice is poetic, right? Yeah The hero doesn't actually have to dirty their hands because karma and the universe will They tried to stab the hero in the back, but they tripped over their feet and then they fell into the wheat thresher And so on and so forth Uh, this does not subscribe to that

Oh, no, no Indian movies don't give a shit about that. Hey, you know how we're gonna get the villain We're gonna tie him down and beat him with sticks until he's dead. We're gonna we're gonna get the villain by getting him Um Yeah, it so Anyway, I mean just tour de force Coming of age a touch tone for our time um It's it's three hours, but it doesn't it feels it doesn't feel like it, you know admittedly we watched it late

So some some sleepiness was happening, but yeah, um, it is it is fucking incredible And uh, yeah, it's just It's the sincerity really that's what I keep coming back to is like no attempt to to mask or veil anything if If the process of rescuing that child requires me to to uh, uh grab a flag And literally drape it in water and wrap myself in patriotism to avoid the flames as I rescue the child Then that is exactly what i'm gonna do

You know I've known authors that use subtlety and they're all cowards all cowards all cowards um Roar rise revolts Fucking go watch it Do it like i'm just i'm thinking of parasite And i'm thinking of how like in parasite They use the the the modern looking house to subdivide characters along lines constantly

About are they in or they out and i'm thinking of like A movie out of india in which a character would say you are out of society I am in it And they're like draped in gold Yeah, I mean everything everything um That it it does too as well like there's a nice big Like uh assassins creed the ubisoft style message about like you know the movie is is uh all meant to be fictional depictions

And we don't want to offend anybody and furthermore Any animals you see are all cg don't worry about it You know And it's and it's and it's like you can they're just like we're gonna do some wild shit and and and Fucking mother nature itself is getting in on some of this action. So don't worry about it. It's all cg And then the land itself rejects the british even the land itself This is an important plot point You know, um

Yes, yes, it's it's great. It's great You know, and I think I think there's some massive balls in making a movie that is so overtly like Revenge worship against like a colonial power and then having the fucking gall to be like, well, we don't want to I think I think that comes more from the complex like different tribes and and groups of india that like are all depicted because it goes through Multiple areas and groups. Oh man. And so I think it's more like about that, you know And everyone uniting and going like yo, fuck these fuck this these british people. They suck I was I was watching stuff on uh in india's like dialectical complexity

In which they have like 15 to 20 different like linguistic groups within the country and each Each geographic location can speak to the dialect that borders it on all sides, but not one over Because the language changes that much Yeah, people from like the hard north end of the country can't talk to the people of the bottom. It's fucking crazy Dude, you're playing like a billion is an like that's an unfathomable number to imagine in your head like things are gonna That's more than five more than six even um, but yeah, no, so so it's it's a lot of that and um, I mean

I it it really It just like yeah, your villainous action your british actions are like peak british villainy um and You know, there's even but it's but it's even like gonna go out of its way to be like, okay, but hold on though That nice lady over there. She's one of she's a white lady, but she might be she's one of the good ones So some people are nice, you know so

So you just gotta you gotta you gotta, you know keep keep that in mind um, but but in the meantime like we're doing air combos and we're we're we're doing air sniping and we're uh fucking We're doing what I like human like Human kyodai gatae We're doing human fusion Okay to to power up

where like literally I want to I want to point out woolly that you talking about A bollywood film and using the phrase human kyodai gatae Is the absolute Cringiest most weeb moment you have ever had in your life. Well, the problem is this is a new high bar for you I hear you But the problem is that I couldn't think of a more accurate way because it's not a fusion. It's not a um

a two becoming one or it is a literal Put the one on top of the other and we fight like this like the dumb thing of Gurren and on top of lagann and then fight like it's literally that I can't think of a more accurate game doing like the chariot games I I that's not that doesn't come to mind I don't know like what about what about There I mean there's the other like japanese like thing where you do the chariot thing where the sports day festival or whatever sure

Um, and then you do that My head goes to jet stream attack. What about two kids in a suit? Pretending to be a person Is it like that? Yeah, I guess but like With fighting, you know what I mean Like when it comes to someone sitting on someone's shoulders and trying to fight that way That's the only place my brain goes

I got nothing else for you. I don't know what to tell you Find me a more a better contemporary reference and I'll update to that. I don't think there is Okay, I don't think there is then fucking Gattai it is What do you want me to tell you? Anyways, um It is R. R. R. R. R It's it's it's it's real do it fucking do it set aside some time and do it

um and just If you're what if you're coming into this and because I'm using the word singham a lot as the descriptor here and but it's like if you if you're coming into this and you don't and you haven't seen singham then like That's a nice place to start to know what we're talking about going into this, you know, because again, like, um The same actor is in is it shows up and is Literally in a fucking badass passing the torch kind of role. So, you know, so that's it's awesome um

That's it. That's it Uh I just want to say one one more thing before we move off about the sweep about about the ongoing sweep I want to give every everyone a little round of applause Your morbius shitposts Unironically cost Sony millions of dollars. There you go It is it is the most effective use of social media to fuck with rich people ever And you all did a great job

At the same time, uh, Jared is like can I get in on the joke? And now it's dead And now it's dead Um No, I you said something earlier because my I was trying to just remember all the things to bring up for this but um When you're talking about uh, the sun Never never sets on the British empire, right? And it's like, yeah, like you want again you want to talk about like the the absolute

cowards that use subtext And then the chads that have that logo emblazoned in gold And then a splat of blood lands on it Love it, you know Like you have to imagine yourself in a theater With the pop-off happening around you as you watch our rr. That's the thing. You know what you know what I want You know what I want very badly I want like

somebody's uh 68 year old british mum To to sit down for tea and watch our rr And I want to hear that. Oh, okay. Oh dear. Oh to oh, no Our gnar wait, that's that's australian. Yeah. Yeah, that's let's get a little a little much. I know just Like goodness Oh dear, why is he? Oh, no Well, that's not fair norse

That's getting australian again. You know what? I don't care anymore. I don't care I have to say me me me and mage have had this moment where We saw some stupid video in which this lady asks australians how they pronounce the power puff girl villain mojo jojo's name And is it mar jar jar jar? Right, right, right and and have been walking around going our gnar for like weeks now nah, yeah Um, okay, so uh our rr. All right, that's one

Um two that's one. Okay two got it two Vampire fucking survivors man Oh, shit God damn. I'm in That shit is really it's my favorite spot machine. It's so fucking addictive dude It is it is such a dumb time waster and holy shit Holy shit. Do I understand why I had difficulty explaining it to you because like there's no game there, but I couldn't stop hanging There's no every achievement. I have every achievement in that game

It's fucking patches come out and they add achievements and people go in and bang them out that afternoon It's progress quest. It's just it's you know what I mean? Like it's the most non-game But it's still just like yeah, holy shit But dude if you get enough gold you can buy a second duplicator And I can I can choose to pick this build that's going to be garlic based instead of a build that is based on Uh, I like garlic based builds. The garlic based build is fucking sick. You get the garlic in the holy water Yeah And then you get the arcana that increases area at random intervals

So I like I'm you know, I'm I'm I think I've I've gotten to the third area and I've unlocked about like five characters or so There okay, dude. There is actually like so much in that game now. Yeah Yeah, there are there are like 30 characters and eight stages and like Every so I say I maxed out the achievement list every achievement gives you something it gives you a thing To to play with I I got the so that's the thing. It's like yeah, I upgraded I got the the whip to be upgraded to the um bloody tear Right, which the names are not fucking. They're not even trying to think, you know, they're not It's fucking photoshop bayonetta is still there and whatever, but yeah

Did you unlock photoshop bayonetta? I don't think so. No, okay. Do you know why I saw an avid? I know do you know why photoshop bayonetta is photoshop bayonetta? No, because that character starts with two built-in default weapons that are two pairs of handguns that fire in four directions at once Jesus christ, okay, and when and when you upgrade that it turns into a beam weapon like the bazillions Then yes photoshop bayonetta is accurate um No, I did that and I upgraded the um The axe into the sword and you know, I got those new weapons

I'm like, oh shit. Okay. I can do real damage now and at the end of your run. It shows you which thing did the most dps Yeah, so that you can optimize for next time and so yeah, it's not just about dps sometimes about push You will for sure for sure. Yeah, so I'm realizing that especially when um Like there's the wave the kill wave is what I'm gonna call it because I feel like stage one 11 minutes You hit a kill wave, right? Yeah. No, they're there. They're there. They're 24 minutes part of it is timed Mm-hmm And then like once the kill wave comes through if you're not doing enough damage to move through everything Fuck you and that's where garlic starts to to fucking thank you

Right because garlic is good at first for getting nice and early levels But then garlic starts fucking up when you have shit that's not gonna die in one time You'll see here. Here's the thing Here's where it matters because they all all the so the the the you you start the game and you're playing it You're like the active weapons are what I really have to care about No, it's the passive buffs. So first of all You need to say go to library and you need to realize that the empty tome is off to the left side of the stage for free And if you wait until you have your passives full

And get that empty tome. It's free. You just add it on to the end It's bonus, right? And then you start going like, okay. Well, garlic doesn't really cut it near the end Well, here's the thing garlic plus area plus damage Plus empty tome which actually makes garlic able to hit more times a second frequently It turns the cool down all of a sudden dps skyrockets. Okay, okay, right, right? Yep And then you have to you have to figure out which one it is The the the the build clear the screen clear the the sigil nuke

Right like nice, but like what's the cool down, right? It's like, okay Well, get the level level it up drop 10 seconds off of that get it more frequently kills all your upgrades though. Fuck Okay, but still might keep you alive in some cases, you know so the the pentagram is One of those it's like it it's one of the ones you absolutely must build around mandatory because It erases all the gems, right?

But if you get it to max level it done it only erases gems, maybe 20 of the time But its final upgrade is that it is constantly going off and doesn't Remove any items at all. Okay. Yeah, there you go that of course, right? It's going off with like an extra effect like every 10 seconds. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm I was kind of fucking around and didn't realize until more recent build attempts How good luck is because luck lets you get more items on screen 100% and I was like fuck me man. Like so there's a good reason to go cross Right

You go cross and cross combines with clover to make sword, but then clover gives you the extra choices for the rest of your build Um and overall you get more healing right like you could just you get yeah You get you get more you get more of the screen clears you get more um gold you get more all that stuff so There there are so you're on level three, right? I'm on the I just got to the third level where you can where you go up and down and I picked up the um I picked up the item there. That was uh, what was it? Uh, was it a free res?

It was either a free resurrection or something like that, but yeah So Starting with the other map. It was a map. I picked up the map. Yeah Getting the map is good. So if you get to the fourth floor, there's another entire set of mechanics there to unlock And then all the bonus stages Have series of mechanics to add Um And as you keep going and playing your characters

So you'll get a character and the character will have a new type of weapon And then you get that character level 99 in a run and now the weapon is available for everyone Cat I'm gonna assume the answer is yes, but you can take you can create a build that just becomes Infinite lasting right like the stage. Is there an ending point ever or can you just sit? Did you did you hit 30 minutes on anything? I guess uh once No, I hit 40. No did I You would know if you hit 30 minutes. I unlocked achievements for hitting 20 minutes and then I think

I think so So here's what happens at exactly 30 minutes every enemy disappears Except for one. No, which is red death. Okay, then I didn't do it yet And then red death comes and insta kills you in a single shot. Gotcha. Okay. Okay. Okay, however If you play for long enough and you figure it out You can I had I had a game that I walked away from For like an hour. Yeah, okay. Okay, and and just came back and was like Yeah, this is good enough. I probably got all the length based achievements. Yeah, okay

I didn't know I didn't I didn't I definitely didn't go long enough to see that but I was conflating I was thinking because I got over level 30. I got to uh level Yeah, I got to level. I think my highest level was like 42 or so at one point and like that was No, you can uh You can get you can eventually if you go hard and long enough on this game Get to the point where there is a build you can make In which the game will be unable to kill you and you will have to quit. Damn sick, but

That that road is at the end of maxing out all content Also, when you look at the patch notes the patch notes constantly overtly hugely lie There's a patch he put out in which he's like it's going to be a really small Uh drop this week all I added was one bonus stage and uh a couple new achievements And then you get in there and it's the largest content drop the game has ever received It has multiple levels and new characters and weapons I mean do like it looks like shit. It runs like shit. It fucking

Half the time the controller stops being detected So hey, by the way, it doesn't actually run like shit You unlock hurry mode which doubles the game speed and it doubles the slowdown in the stage One of the launchers like when there's enough enemies it's it's game speed stupid shit is changing I I did see one of the launchers is like experimental speed fix launch of the game I use the one with steam overlay and I use controller for that. Um, but like it's fucking Uh, uh, like yeah the window just like if you if you lose attention from the window or if the controller anything happens It'll just stop working

You know like and I've had like um Weird shit like that occur Um, I do like it that you can refund your your permanent upgrades and and it's important Because spend elsewhere. Hey I don't know what permanent upgrades you put money into right now I make a couple different tries to see what I like Duplicator is like number one with a bullet. Hmm. It's it's like it's not even close and then after that is damage

um Yeah, I like the fact that I can refund partly, you know and and try out different things to see what what works Is is really nice. Uh, but just this is an example Or just like it doesn't matter what you're looking at or like how it how it plays It's just Is the fit is the core element of what you're doing Like are you having fun watching the number go up? Yes. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, then that's it And then as you play more you get into the strategy because you know what my favorite unlock in that game is

My favorite unlock is a power up which is re-roll You get to instead of instead of up instead of upgrading like 10 power or 10 area You get to buy five re-rolls per stage Oh And you get and you get to buy Uh skips in which it's not a re-roll, but it just skips the level in general. So it doesn't walk you in And then the best one is banish

Where you look at a thing and I want I want you to stop coming up in the the rotation Oh And the trick with that is the foot. I think it's the pentagram the fucking upgrade for the the passive upgrade for the pentagram requires like enemies to become stronger But you only need one level So what you do is you get the one level and the next time it shows up you banish it So that never shows back up in the leveling path. Okay. Are you re-roll the the ones you're looking at? Yeah, that's what the option. Okay. Um, so you you get to the point playing it that you're starting like

I'm gonna have a really good run I'm gonna do 40 minutes or whatever and you started and get the first level And go re-roll re-roll re-roll didn't get anything once I wanted start over What determines whether you get a chest with one three or five items? Luck has a proportion to do with it. Okay, and luck has the other proportion Because one time I got one that went from three to five and I was like, oh fuck One one is numerical luck and the other is actual luck. Okay Okay, so any chests is possible. It's not the enemy that drops it could be anything

But here's the really important thing the most important thing to know about chests Is they can upgrade anything but only chests are where you're gonna get the evolved weapons That's yeah, but some but you it'll show you the requirement though, right? Like I saw the the the whip the bloody tear was like you have to get the plus 20 percent life In order to me show you the requirement if you've gotten it once Okay, so like whip goes with hollow heart, right? And it shows you that when you get those items now because you've unlocked the bloody tear But do I still have to get hollow heart to enable bloody tear every time?

Yeah, but that's just that's just to be like, oh remember this Yeah, but like you have to discover all the weapon evolutions on your own But if I don't want hollow heart after that then I'd have to learn to banish it Well, no, it wouldn't it would still take up a slot. So fucking Get it the only the only ones that are worth banishing are ones you don't have and definitely don't want Or the curse up ones if you don't want the extra curse Uh, okay. Okay. So if you're if you're running something and you're like you're absolutely certain that with the build you want you don't want area Banished condolabra get out of here

And you'll get better you get If you're playing on a level in which the condolabra, I think level three has it the condolabra is on the level And you can just walk over to it Banished the condolabra from the rolls so that you can make sure you get the other passes before you get there Once and once you pick it up in the level it then enters the rotation again, right? Yeah, yeah, okay. So just make sure to get all your pickups after you've maxed out The passives. Yeah, because you can get like two or three extra passes That was the one thing I was uncertain about was like I unlocked level two

But like I was like, I guess you just have to survive long enough to unlock the next level But I didn't feel like I beat level one. So wait, hold on. It prevents upgrades You have you when you walk up because you can't level it up after getting it. Oh, okay Don't manage anything you're going to use even if it is on the stage Okay, because when you walk up to the book it says do you want to pick it up or discard it, right? Yeah, and you would always want to pick it up. Yeah, okay But that's the thing is yeah, I kind of was like, okay So I've unlocked level two, but like I don't feel like I'm done with level one, certainly

And I was like, you know by by pushing further in you get yeah achievements that unlock new characters and stuff So I was kind of just like I guess I was well, yeah What I was waiting to figure out is like, okay, when do you know you're done with this level? But that half an hour mark seems to be uh, uh, it kills you. All right Yeah, and and you need to build your character in a very very very very specific fancy way Which requires a shit zillion upgrades to survive the end of the level But otherwise before that point just like

Collect, hey you made it to 30 minutes. Yay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay Cool. Cool. Yeah. Fuck that shit is just damn dude, um brain off walk around dodge the enemies and Just try to get try to get higher dps. Yeah, I fucking I streamed that game a couple times and every run has the same moment Where chack just starts going bit rate Because the game becomes like complete soup

Like it's it's like you sitting there playing it Is basically impossible to read but by a stream it just becomes actual soup Well, that's what I'm waiting for the inevitable like um just when you play when you play, um Uh, fucking insane schmups like when you play like, uh, you know, like anything that, uh

Is a whole game or something like that. Yeah, but anything bullet hell But then you have firepower that is also screen clearing and insane and just I'm waiting for that level of like nonsense to come out of me You know and I can I can see it starting but I haven't gotten there yet Okay, so here's here's the here's the the the the progression, right? Right now make it to make it to 30 minutes and die. Hooray, right next step Discover all currently available weapon evolutions so that you can start and get the whole row of weapon evolutions Right that probably the best one to start is garlic holy water bible axe, um

whip Right just get off area just pure just like get through this. Yeah after that is build up your character After that is go find the secret mechanics in Areas yeah after that go build up that stuff and that once you hit that point It's time to go into the unlocks tree and go Time to start banging every single one of these out because they're all gonna give me something I mean I like the fact that I like again I just I stuck my head into like a couple of build things and saw some possibilities like one that was just like a regen build

where it's like, um You can't hurt me faster than i'm gonna heal Uh until the wave of enemies in this stage that happens to do insane Touch damage comes through and then you're gonna die, you know or combining high regen with um the Leaf or or whatever the fern the the laurel Right that gives you eye frames And then putting garlic on and then just walking into the mob You know

Well one of the things that like that happens is that they they'll the game will come out with a new weapon with a new character And it'll be a cool new weapon And you're like cool and then but it doesn't have an evolution and then a patch or two down the line They'll add. Hey, did you know that if you unlock this and unlock this That this old weapon actually has an evolution now and it's fucking busted Okay, okay Yeah, and there's like there's all sorts of shit you can unlock you can unlock A fucking card that will give you uh four lives and every time you die you get 10 stronger

Sure Well, some of those characters just so like some of those characters are just like Feel busted immediately and others are just like oh, oh woolly. You don't even know every row of characters is is is Mechanically more busted than the one above them. Okay. Okay, because I'm lucky. Why would you ever go back after picking? Because you the the first four or five characters you're like adds A cool down speed Up until level 30 adds this then you start to get characters near the middle that have their own

Projectiles that don't combine with anything but they start with natural duplicates or they start throwing out duplicate attacks Per level and then you go another row below and you have characters that are 1 power or area per level infinite With no cap I mean, I just got um The the winged demon dude that's like has a free regen every 30 levels and walks And and and has 200 walking speed Or yeah, okay, um, you're gonna want to

That's i'm like this fucking crazy You're gonna want to level 99 that guy because that doing so unlocks the card that lets everyone else have that ability Okay, it felt insane. I mean this is so but this is so good compared to anything else right now, you know um And the the other character that like starts with all their moves scaled up to max size for like Three levels of three or one minute or whatever it is. That's it too Is like you just get fast levels right away with these bomb drops, you know like Yeah, and then you and then when you get to the point where you're unlocking secret characters

That just start off 10 times stronger than any of the other ones can get Yeah, yeah, so no man Fucking hell like That thing that that is a proper time waster. Um, it is a cookie clicker that is that is is doing its job And vampire survivors 47.3 hours 105 out of 105 achievements. So that there's there's your timeline It doesn't deserve like like like should not land and and be as good as it is But just fucking kills it and it it costs

299 and it looks like less like it like oh, yeah, Xbox live indie games Uh, uh, you know level in terms of what you're seeing here, but God, it is it is the absolute Best example of like the triumph of the solo indie developer I've seen in years and years We'll just you need something like this to like slap down on a boardroom desk and watch people just lose their minds going, but How what you try, you know, like yeah, like and I'm in a place right now after playing so much of it It's that like version 0.6 or whatever and I'm like the game feels completely finished

right now like I genuinely don't know unless he just adds like 10 more weapons and five new levels which I guess they totally could There's nothing stopping them a fucking okay. I'm gonna make that axe the axe goes like this and it's got a 10 pixel asset What what is there to there's another patch in a few Thursday there's a new one day. There you go. There you go, right? What's it gonna have? Like just have that in the meantime like you're spending what on tress FX

You know, you're you're putting how much together for this complete Nothing Unneeded feature for this massive quadruple experience It's going to add stage five as well as a new weapon and power ups and it's Sure excellent Two new arcanas one new weapon one new power up That could be anything

Man that could be anything someone's gonna steal this and just make it like slightly prettier And just like and they're just it's gonna be they're gonna miss You're gonna miss you're gonna miss it. You're not you're gonna you're gonna lose the spirit. I think It's right for stealing it. It is a perfect formula It is absolute so I I I can't get I can't of course they already did yeah, there you go. Yeah, exactly I can't um, I can't confirm this. I've seen people Speculate that the gentleman who makes this used to make slot machines. Oh And is one of those things like even if it's not true, which it might not be oh, I believe it because

The game's a fucking slot machine I mean like can't is every single sprite a just a modified castlevania sprite like or is No, they are they are They are all Technically unique Because I don't know castlevania well enough to recognize everything when I see it, you know, they are Okay, well, do you remember when we would commission Legally distinct like music for videos back of the old channel that sounded incredibly similar

But they weren't because they were actually completely new. Yep. Okay. That's this There you go. Okay. Okay Um, yeah No, man. It fucking it it worked I'm in on that uh I can And you know what here's what's here's what's

Here's when you know, it's like it's it's dangerous and it's doing its job is like I would take what I call teppen time And I'm like I feel like playing vamp survivors instead Right times where I'd be like, let me get a match of teppen in I'd be like, let me get a run of Vserve in Yeah, no, uh, the the reason um, the reason why I banged out all the achievements in that game

Was that because I was like, ah, do I want to do, uh, you know what I could do I could bang out 30 minutes of vampire survivors and then by the way you unlock a mode called hurry mode Which just doubles the clock. Yeah, okay, so that it's now 15 minute runs Uh, yeah, no, um, so good shit coming off of that fucking. All right vamp serve Uh, good shit, uh, what else? played common writer

Super climax heroes This weekend. I think I I think I rated you while you were doing that. Yeah, uh, I think so and uh I was like, is this motherfucker playing common writer? I'm playing some common writer. Yeah And I and I need a better fucking like thing for notifications. I I I cut I Because I've I've made rates are hard to see So I've missed a bunch especially since I'm like focused for the youtube purposes, you know like as well What I've done is I've made a notification that just pops up a little woolly versus logo in the corner of the screen

And I'll kind of like if I see that I'll be like, okay, someone in the last five minutes did and I'll I'll try to Oh, yeah, so So like when when sometimes the people read me everybody in chat goes, hey, you're being fucking ready, but it's like, okay Well, that works But then other times I'll be like ending the stream and like thanking somebody and just scrolling through the stream elements thing And be like, oh somebody rated me 22 minutes into the stream. Yeah, they're gone Exactly they're super gone. Exactly. Yeah, I got that with um, what were we playing? was something the other day, um

And it was just like, oh, um, um the the fucking the beta for um Multiverses like, you know and and just Like I'm like, ah, shit. Sorry not to be rude. Just didn't one Usually we're just thinking youtube focused in two like it didn't yeah, I didn't see that so gotta figure that out People yelling usually does work though Admittedly, but not if they're fucking locked in emote mode Wow giant bomb just disintegrated

Uh Jeff just left giant bomb. I saw that popping up in in the in the chat as we were going I was gonna Uh, uh, take a look on break and see if we could throw that on and see what's going on But uh, uh, what's going on is 19 minutes ago. He says today's my last day Okay No longer any reason to ever listen to their podcast ever again. Good for us Unless he starts a new podcast again I I assume there's like

still stuff going on like that's The announcement the announcement is that he is that he's leaving Right, not that and then he's like, hey follow me on twitch. Yeah, okay for a second. I was I'm saying giant bomb is disintegrating. I see. Okay. Gotcha. I was a little confused. Okay um Huh, all right. Well, that's that's breaking news um

What was I even in the middle of talking about Um common writer is is is blows fun It's it's a fucking it's a game that puts all the writers in it And then it says hey, do you want to do some writer kicks? And then you do the writer kicks and then it does the sounds of when you do the rock the writer kicks Hey, do you want to clock up and hear the voice that goes clock up? Then you do that? And it's like, yeah And what's particularly fun too with uh the version we played because there's it's been a franchise kind of like the like

Any like Naruto fighting game series that's been ongoing and stuff where it um adds, you know more and more new generations new characters new eras etc as time goes on so the Latest ones that are out have the newer writers from the reiwa era that started um recently but um That means that like you're gonna miss out on some older generation stuff, you know And so playing super we got to include the showa and heisei. So like that's all the like original writers, you know the the

Itch you go and you go and all the all the the cool original stuff and then the the era that we Saw a bit more of which is the heisei like kabuto and and and double and all that stuff era as well um So playing it we got to yeah You would when you get to show our writers in there when they do their special effects and their writer kicks like the game puts on a Fucking film grain filter and like when you land a writer kick It pauses and does the full explanation of what a writer kick is and when you like the full narration of like a 70s style finishing attack, you know, like it was it's it's pretty fucking sick

um And thankfully uh as well there's there's fan patches out there to take the japanese Games and um get some more english in them with like the name translations and just you know a couple of texture replacements to get Some more english in there so between that and a full save file had a pretty good time Um, no guy. I'm unfortunate. I saw I saw some talking out. Does that is that game online or No, it's it was a it's a wee game Oh, that's weird because I saw somebody mentioning somewhere like the first rage kit quit ever on getting the fighting game But I didn't know what that was about. Oh, no, that was different. So uh after we enjoyed uh cabin writer and um

Had a good time with that where not a single not a single uh Incorrect fact was stated for the entire episode. We were correct Factually about everything the entire time Uh not one mistake Uh, anyway, no, uh, we after we played cabin writer and had a good time. Um, we switched over to shrek super slam Which I don't know if you remember the term crumpet dashing I vividly remember it to the point where I remember hearing it for the first time in buffalo

So we played shrek super slam a couple years back because we discovered that there is a competitive shrek scene for the shrek fighting game that turned out to uh Once all the laws were had Actually have tech in it because Whether intentional or unintentional they made a game where movement options could be cancelled into each other aggressively which leads to air dashing into cancelled blocking into rejumps

All sorts of stupid stupid shit. So crumpet dashing and um onion drops and noi no dashing And all kinds of wild shit are real tech that you can look up Which then created a meta which created a competitive scene which has a rule set and regularly um Runs tournaments and events right so shrek super slam Uh, which you can I mean there's a discord community. There's I believe the shrek boards for you can go for more and whatnot

They have a tier list they put out which uh last time we checked and updated it red writing hood was considered ss class I remember that uh, she's now banned and um Digging into the wise in the house. I can completely Red writing hood should be bad. I can feel it. I can see it. It's insane. It's just completely unfair um she has the ability to uh, essentially do a Charged apple toss that hits you three times in a row

She can do it to you otg So once she throws you once and you're in the corner She she hits you with the apples and then she can re-grab you. Um, and Once you fucking re-grab you can just do that as much as you want until you build up a full meter And this is like playstation all-stars where the only way to get a kill is when you hit them with a super So free kills Right, uh, the it's called touch to slam Right, you can get you can get touch to slam by by red writing hood pretty badly others can do it too

But hers is are insane. So there's that And then someone has recently been working on an hd remaster, which does a texture replacement So you can get crisper textures on all the characters Shrek's vest looks a little bit better Um, the the crumbles on on gingerbread men, you know, a lot of that shit is a little there's a good texture replacement pack So, um, yeah shrek super slam hd remastered Um, you know, there's there's there's shit happening. There's an active scene And, um, we got in there, you know, we we we played and we we fucking we did it

Of course, uh, nothing reminds you of the era you're you're in stronger than going to the settings, uh, screen And the bottom option of the activision game is a trailer for the game over the hedge Uh, lest you forget the film brought to you by the creators of madagascar and track man. I don't remember that at all over the hedge with the with the squirrel and the and the the other one and the rabbit Animals doing cute animal things

I got nothing for you on on over the hedge well It doesn't matter, um Point remains, uh Fucking shrek is legit It's real and any game that Whether on purpose or accident Allows you to have too many movement canceling options

Will become competitive Yeah, undeniably. That's the most important thing It doesn't matter. What else is happening in the game if I can Like cancel my air dashes into into cancelable shielding into cancelable double jumps into cancelable wall jumps We've got we've got a match. We've got a meta. We've got a game we can play, you know um It's real Shrek super slam is real. So that that we took a look at that. It was a good time

And uh, we're gonna be that's gonna be coming out soon as well on getting to fighting games on uh, woolly versus The hd remaster in particular, um, you might need to you know, adjust some settings once you install it, but Uh, I was able to install it and and Hd Shit and also you want to get yourself a save file to unlock the bottom the rest of the cast Oh, yeah, no. Yeah, definitely. You want. Yeah, you want to do that There's bad stages though. Some stages are, you know, um, have too much interference So gotta you gotta check the rule set on shrek boards as well

That's what's up. Um, watch you can watch the episode and find out more about uh about what to do there and everything Um, and thankfully no copyright music issues. I don't think Weird I don't think I would have figured there'd be something all star didn't play So It seems like it's all just shrek-like music, but not actually shrek music. So I think we're gonna be okay on that Um, yeah, that's that's pretty much it. Hey, let me ask you. How's your cotour to lp doing? Uh Over

Yeah If you know, oh is it not happening to your channel? Oh Fucking universal media group fucking blocked like 16 of my fucking cotour to videos because really Yeah, oh shit my that lp is dead on my channel Uh, no, I I I don't think uh, I've had anything Let me take a quick look Um, I haven't got I haven't gotten flagged

Huh lucky you I guess Okay, that's what I get for letting the music breathe Now admittedly, um part of what what uh What men does is when like when he doesn't upload and and if he sees something gets flagged Um, he can pull it off and because we separate the the game track from my voice track He can mute the game or replace the game audio to avoid that problem on youtube, right? So part of the big Con convoluted setup of not just dumping the the vods on on youtube allows us to

Do things like keep my voice and mute the the actual YouTube the gameplay footage. Yeah, what's weird though is that it was completely fine up until like last week Yeah, okay, and then all of a sudden they all just like explode probably because of new new licensing Shit gets uploaded. I I had I was on the assumption that it was because of the obi-wan tv show Which I found out more about what happens in that tv show. Wow. Does that not need to exist at all? Holy shit uh ff6 was running into a lot of problems with um

Uh search for friends, right the fucking the main theme of theme of of of world of ruin. Yeah, so Um over the course of that like or you know find streaming But then the moment you upload that by default it gets claimed so then we replaced it with um Basically like we we had covers and different versions of it pop would be replacing the music so Um, yeah, it's interesting. I don't know. I mean, I'm hearing I mean, it's a star wars show so it's not surprising, but I'm hearing mixed things I'm hearing some people say talking about saying basically I'm hearing some people say obi-wan is dog shit I'm hearing some people say yo, it's really good

Right. Yeah, I'm not gonna make a value judgment on that because I haven't seen it But what I will say is that it's very obvious that it doesn't need to exist um and Like the the argument obviously Like I really like the red letter media reviews and thus anything that I say that would agree with that is going to be Say, well, why don't you just have my make your own opinion for you yada yada yada? But it is really funny to me

That the obi-wan show Is like literally a bit from a red letter media review In which It would have been so easy to just have baby han solo walk out And then have characters hang out and have them say i'm baby han solo Because that's actually unironically literally what the new obi-wan show is right Instead of the han solo though, it's leia Did you know that obi-wan and leia hung out like a shit ton when she was a little girl?

And they actually knew each other really well and they had a whole adventure The go fuck yourself that's stupid It reminds me of the um like The the gotham show where it's just like young bruce is just hanging around showing up That you know, we're just gonna Have tons and tons of eventful things happening in in young bruce's life where it seems is like It's one of those things where you're like if the kids life was that eventful from the start like it Like the the the turn is not even a surprise at that point in a way

It's just kind of wild to retcon that much but um, and I think they had like proto joker in that as well um Anyway, I don't know They did it for smallville and it and it and it worked for a bit and then uh, um And then the show didn't stop after one or two seasons where the original writers wanted it to and then so I think I want to I want to clarify something here because i'm seeing some folks going like pat you dumbass She obviously knew him in a new hope like yeah, that's my point That's all you needed. Oh, they knew each other

You don't you don't need A story to go back and go over every single fucking millisecond of every character's life And explain how every single interaction and fucking thing. Oh because of that. Oh like filling in the blanks sucks so, um Again as someone who hasn't seen it. I know that like uh A lot of what I initially was thinking about cloning wars was like That's years of blank filling right yeah

um Seasons upon seasons of filling in the blanks there, which uh, yeah, I was surprised to find out there were quality stories in there and and bits and pieces that uh, you know people were Pretty happy with overall in their contributions to things. So I don't automatically look at a spin-off that fills in the blanks and and and and Wave it off, you know, it depends on how it's done in each case. I suppose I'm gonna use a different example That people are gonna be very mad at but they're wrong and there it's okay that they're wrong

You know what was a great? ending To a story and then it gave you everything you needed to understand about how it would lead to its own character in the future Metal Gear Solid 3 snake eater And did you know that they released games that took place in between snake eater? and metal gear one And every single time they dove in to anything to do with that character's motivations It fucking sucked didn't need to be compared to having it just be there

Didn't need to be water is so bad. I completely didn't need to be water so much And paz has to show up because paz matters, but like Yep, yep the the the the the finale of snake eater tells you everything you need to know Unless you mentally fill in those blanks. Absolutely. I I I do I'm sorry I can't be as I can't listen my my my mentor figure. I had to kill her and I'm so sad. I'm depressed I was abused by the government. I'm disillusioned. I'm horrible But first you need to hear about that time. I went on a date at the beach with a girl I thought I was with 13

So I I think Like some of it's okay boss. She was actually in a doth like fuck off some of the fleshing Out of stuff as you go into those games is like um, there's bits and pieces you can you can uh, you can take like everything with like fucking the wildness of like hui and and and and Is uh, just the entire fucked up emrick family You know just the more you find out the worse it gets Um, am I supposed to understand why boss went bad unless I hear about pussy bombs

But the but the the boss the the boss is the thing that I feel like is yeah Like that's one where you're like, oh god dad like and like it's such a delicate matter because of how Well established the poor point was at the end of snake eater. Absolutely. You know, um Yeah, but The exact but like in in the star wars context, right? Um, you're dealing with a setting where Uh, there's tons of shit that makes no sense and even the ones we like anyway so

It's a story that takes place in a full industrialized galaxy That somehow always ends up revolving around the same like 40 people Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm trillions upon trillions of lives and it's always the same five guys Which is why it makes the setting so stupid And it makes crea extremely right It makes her super right God bless I love you granny

You're insane Um Prey being related to palpatine. It's like the worst the thing that ever happened to the series Rian Johnson was right about one thing and had the character be at nobody Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Is it ryan ryan? It's not like that. That's weird. I don't know it happens Oh You remember oscar isaac standing there going like just wiping his proud us Somehow palpatine returned

anyway so I watch I want like I I I I usually Uh, whatever I get like algorithm feed, but I got I got uh algorithm recommended a nine minute video of um Of uh Uh god, what the fuck is wrong with me? Shit, uh Mark hamill shitting on star wars for nine minutes straight Yeah

And it's just everything from the force awakens going forward with him just being like at first He's just like grunting out his thoughts and then at some points He's just like and then he just goes full-throated on it and goes. Oh god damn it. There's cameras around aren't there? Ah, fuck whatever. What are they gonna do? You know like you know and just like it's just a solid 10 minutes of him just losing it Uh, you know or not even losing it, but just being very like sarcastic about everything happening in the in the new trilogy And it was it was a fun watch I very much enjoyed it and then like in some cases they they kept in just enough

To have like him say something and then everyone in the audience just laughs and then like a producer grabs the mic and goes Well, what we need to what we need to to say is that uh, luke plays a very pivotal role in the upcoming films Just the spin that has to happen right afterwards. It's fucking great You know what you know what it reminds me of this whole fucking thing this whole fucking Everything to do with star wars and filling in the blanks. It reminds me of the official fucking star wars twitter account Uh posting did you know that a seer that that a legion of slave cultists helped build the death star Underneath that ocean planet the palpatine and then Elijah wood goes. No

Because it's not the movie How would we know that right? Why didn't you just tell us in the movie? Yeah, like um, uh God, what was the bit? Yeah, no like the main Uh, oh, it looks like we got some connection issues going on here. Well, I guess How brodo get to mount doom? Oh, I could answer that by the mile says froda Because you saw it in the movie

The the the main issue, uh, he seems to have to is kind of like Why would the same fucker that abandoned his hero training To go help his friends Now completely do the opposite and go fuck that. I'm not going to go help my friends, especially when They're actually going to die for real, right? It's like We've established that he's willing to break the rules and not listen to anything He's supposed to because he cares about his friends and now he's suddenly not going to be that person

Forget that dude forget. Hey, you know that character that would rather Literally be tortured alive by lightning Rather than stab the most evil person in the world What if I just murdered my nephew in his bed because I had a bad dream? And don't forget too that in a in a in an almost anime like way, um killing the villain It's not the killing that matters It's what's in your heart when you do the killing that determines the outcome. Yeah It's a good kill. Oh a righteous kill. I felt sad about that kill

So it's okay That that killed did not have the satsui no hado in it Yeah It was the power of mu Yeah, that's that's that's how she did it. It's fucking hate star wars so much Which sucks because as a child I liked it I still like stuff I like the part where they have a laser sword

That's my favorite part I like the part where the old lady says if you have a laser sword fuck you You're ruining everything People are trying to live assholes. Why do you get to be the main characters of the fucking universe? You stupid Fucking jerks. I hate you. I hate you all so much. I actually I actually think my my favorite my favorite, um Anything in star wars is talking to adin right away in cotor 2 We're like it wasn't a jedi civil war. It was the sith and he's like who cares. Yeah

Yeah, like do you stupid fucking religious space wizards having your dumb bickering fight like you're always fighting And there's millions of dead people like who cares. Yeah. Oh, it's not the other jedi It's the sith like you're all magic you all laser swords. It's the same Right like I'm running i'm running away from my my exploding house Because of your stupid battles Like who's who's causing the explosion who's shooting from what like what the fuck off, you know like yeah um

Or worse your entire planet is held hostage Anyway, um Yeah, so so That's that's that's all going down. But um, anyway, yeah, so more to come um shrek common rider videos should be dropping

This week over on woolly versus not to mention of course mass effect continues um running into some uh unforeseen unforeseen difficulties with uh with reggie's command Yeah, what's that of shepherd?

um that like If you can imagine the entirety of mass effect one With a version of shepherd that just has his dick out the entire time I can Then this is kind of this is kind of that it's kind of a problem. It's becoming really uncomfortable really quick Hey, let me tell you that universe is is ready for that playthrough. It is it is But when it's not it gets real weird

But yes, that's it. That's just make sure to shoot every bitarian you see Um, it's all I have to say gotta Gotta gotta find out more there, but they're bad The fucking just put a little mosaic down at the crotch of the n7 suit And that's that's the real that's reggie running through that universe uh not that and the weirdness that is like um

endless amounts of glass him moments where It's like, okay. I'm gonna do the thing that is clearly the bad thing And then when it happens and goes way harder than I expected the batting to go much harder I'm gonna be super shocked by the outcome and then I'm gonna awkwardly try to roll with it as if that was my intention So that's that's what I'm talking about of like Of the the shepherd blue and shepherd red. It's like they're fucking different people entirely. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah You know like one of the early like early conflict like fucking, you know go down and do the fist Fight, you know, and then at the conclusion of that it's just like, okay

So how's this gonna go? And then reggie picks the option to end it as quickly as possible It is just like, oh my god. Wait Uh, yeah, that's what you get Uh Just has to has to yes and So fun fact if you bring if you bring a rex with you You get to talk to fist for about two seconds

And then rex just walks up in the middle of the conversation and blows him away with a shotgun. There you go Yeah, and you just go, what are you doing? He's like, I just shot him Yes, I killed him Yes, and have I done this same thing over the years that we've been recording? Of course I have infinite times But now we get to watch reggie do it Yeah, it's weird Like let me tell you when I was going through those games relatively recently I think I was just doing every filthy fucking

Sex joke possible because the games give you all the information you would need There are long term Exhaustive codecs and player discussions in which you can discuss the fucking sexual health of people on your team Like it's all in there. They knew what they were doing I mean like the the mention of The resurrection of the reapers was immediately followed by

Do the parts fit? Like well, no, they're too big. What do we wouldn't well? We don't know yet, right? But the fucking like just like oh god. Oh, this is bad energy But this is this is bad. This is not this is going to be a problem shepherd with the dick out saves the universe Yeah You know, what if what if you stick just the tip into a mass relay? You wouldn't you wouldn't want that to happen. I mean no you wouldn't like that You activate a dormant mass relay and you just lean in and just

It would blow your fucking dick off woolly And I thought I'm a log dormant unknown race from the furthest reaches Of an unknown galaxy see the relay turn on and see one thing just sticking out the middle That that is that is red check woolly. It's not a teleporter. It's a fucking rail gun You'd just be firing the tip of your dick off so they would see the the head floating by yeah Use the mass effect just on the tip For one brief moment it would be glorious and horrible And then the the race that was on the other side were probably not going to attack but now they're going to attack

They they're going to have to attack Uh, anyway, all right. Um That's all good. Uh, that's having we're having good having a good time. Um And and also, um Just for for any that are curious. Yeah, you'll you'll probably have noticed with like the more recent episodes But like this is going to be definitely a little bit more of a a I guess a silent feeling LP in a way because I'm really I'm really leaning back and letting reggie take the reins on it. You know, um, I mean, I'm jump I'm jumping in for little quips little Little, you know bits here and there, but like it's as it's as it's his decisions

Um, he can he's controlling the pace and the flow of things, you know, so yeah, if it feels a little different That's why I'm having something similar going on with I'm doing isomium files And it's like what's the mystery? All right time to fucking sit back And occasionally I'm gonna hit the x button to keep the conversation going Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm Game's gonna talk to itself eyeballs. Hi, oh Because the because you can see Um

Yeah, so there's that and of course, you know good ol elden ring good times as usual We're moving on up to volcano or what what are you doing now? Uh, I'm gonna go clean up before volcano. I'm gonna go clean up Um, some of the areas that I have visited but I haven't cleared like completely cleared out Um, that's smart Yeah, because I feel like there's a there's a like yeah, I can see it's like, okay walk out of the capital start the rest of this I'm like, let's finish the cleanup behind us. So we're doing that um So yeah over on woolly versus uh, all that's coming. Uh, yeah, and just a heads up though get into fighting games. We're gonna

Uh, I'm yeah, I'm gonna have there's a couple weeks. I'm gonna be uh gone. So For Saturdays, it's gonna be a little bit spotty Um Touch and go. I'll let you guys know each schedule. You can check on twitter of course to see what we're doing um, but um, yeah Check that out. Oh by the way, I think Um, so yeah, I this week for example, I'm not I'm not gonna be there

But the I think it's uh, not multi versus rumble versus Rumble verse god these words. Is that a royale wrestling? Yes, that's coming back for a beta on This weekend Is that open or closed? I think it's said open rumble versus Rubble verse rumble. Fuck that's so close. I know rumble verse

I think it said it's coming back for a beta this weekend. So I'm not gonna be able to jump in but um Check that out if you can on the 11th Let me see this Uh cross platform play test on june 11th There you go picks off the road to launch June 11th, what is that? That's a fucking Saturday probably can't do that myself actually bummer Yeah, okay. Well, that looks like that might be the

Uh, the next opportunity and don't watch anyone else play it. Just go without Um That shit that shit was really fun, man It's really fun. All right. Uh, but yeah, that's going on. That's that's what's up, uh over there. How about you? All right. Well considering I just mentioned uh, I somnium files I have nothing to add about that game other than it's great and that the I somebody in the chat pointed out The I in a I stands for I Which I'm going I got I dude

Someone even pointed out to me the other day That date is like a he's a he's a pervert and he has an opi shirt But the specific opi shirt that he has has the boobs look like eyes Oh god, of course they because it's opi Dude like it's it's it's Kojima Just tweeted Detected in sand brought back from the asteroid Ryugu where we born in space after all

Motherfuckers talking about sand, dude Like we're like we're approaching The the event horizon. We're approaching the point of no return. I want I want to point out I want to point out That woolly and I Clearly actually can see inside this man's brain Because that's that is a half step away From our law like our our sands dna's

Fucking sandy. That's what it was called Like it is right there about amino acids Part of the building blocks of life Necessary to become a replicator Being discovered in sand From a space asteroid. I would not be there To see this concept show up in Death Stranding 2 now that we know Death Stranding 2 exists And there's beaches with sand on them

I can easily see there's amino acids in the sand because the genesis of life the extinction um protein chains created evolved to become one kind of race, but Like just uh Yeah, all right, let's move on. Hey, I'm pat. Here's what I did. I played. I mean I watched x-files. Oh man, dude So we're watching x-files and we've been having this joke for weeks and weeks and weeks about like scully being the being the skeptic And watching that whole first season where it's scully quick go to the car for some bullshit

And she runs out and the instant like she walks out of frame Like the child starts levitating the fish man in the air And then the they explode into a million unrecoverable pieces right when scully walks back through the door And I've been saying like I've been imitating molder for weeks going it was a fish man scully I saw I saw I seen it It's like aha molder Episode two of the second season

molder catches a fish man And I'm like oh man that nothing dude. There's nothing gonna they're never gonna get that fish man, but they they fucking Catch it and they put an FBI custody And it fucking escapes but like a hundred people see the fish man And what does scully say how do we get the fish man molder? Everyone sees it and it's a fish man And I'm like that's not how I heard people describing the x-files I heard people describing the x-files like scully going like I don't know molder

I was gonna say is there a conversation of vindication that he gets afterwards No, she's just like holy shit. What is that? That's a fish man And I can't I also can't believe that the example Was also the the random stupid thing that I picked which was a fish man because a fish man is a stupid stupid thing Yeah, right But it's also Lovecraftians, so it's possible. Oh fuck. It's great. It's great. There's something uh There's something pleasantly defiant about uh, you deciding to watch x-files now during the middle of a stranger things

Uh, uh relaunch Oh, dude. I like I I I got three I got like halfway through the first episode of stranger things season two And they were like, oh, what's going on? I don't care I don't care. I did all of two. I did all of two and I was like, I really wish this was new kids doing a new thing In a different setting but in the same setting rather but whatever And and you know sure got through it

And that was that and then I got through like I think I started three and like the first episode I just tapped the fuck out Like for me, it wasn't that it wasn't that it was the same setting is it was the same characters doing the same thing in the same setting And I was like, I don't So a lot of people are talking about for uh as being like, um Like it's over like it's it's back to being good because I guess it's like focusing on like the weird Like high school bullying thing with 11 and and and and such um And I guess like

I think they confirmed that five is going to be the last one or something like that Oh man, wait a minute. We carry even less But yeah, like there's some sort of confirmation about the finality of what it's going to be and stuff and like I mean i'm Hearing that four is good. It's like I'm curious But at the same time like the premise of the like the strength of what I what of of the premise being something that could be like It doesn't have to be the same cast you can you can you know It it feels like that just drops my interest and uh, I want to say Like one of the actors had a quote that was like, yo, they really need to start killing some of us off because there's way too many now

Who that was hilarious because like oh they just they they added you they they add new roster every season And then everyone just sticks around and it just becomes like a bigger and bigger thing It's it's the same thing. I was just talking about with star wars. It's like you your setting is like the entirety Of 60s to 80s united states were weird shenanigans And you've decided to zoom in on a group of like 10 kids that are going through every supernatural thing ever Back to back to back. It's like take steven king, right? steven king has asserted that main is fucking haunted the entire state of main Is extremely haunted, but main is a state. It's a whole state

Could you imagine if every fucking steven king book dealt with the same batch of a hundred fucking people? and Yeah Down the road. Meanwhile the next exit over This shit starts happening like it it and here's the thing, right? The we've talked to everyone's heard us talk about the anthology shit all the time and yet he had us So no need to reach or rehash too much of that but the idea of like you of going for a

Different setting different same setting different people different story, right? How much more exciting and cool would it be if you had like different seasons of Survivors of whatever supernatural crazy shits going on and then you want a finale season where those survivors then meet up with each other And cross over in some final way, right? Like let's let's i'm talking about x-files, right? And you're talking like you know what x-files has a shit ton of you know what 22 out of 26 episodes in an x-file season Are? Hmm. I don't know scully. There's some fucking weirdo vampire monster eating cows

I don't know man. I think there's a mutant that eats people's livers and can go stretchy arms I don't know man. Maybe there's a fish man. Oh, no We brought up some kind of evil worm that mind controls people from the ice. It's monster of the week non major plot fucking shenanigans Great Every like the the argument against monster of the week is always like hey, I don't think they can make a compelling enough new character every week right But I prefer it the thing that you

Like you're the one who taught me this concept when we were talking about fucking cowboy bebop 19 years ago And you were talking about how much you loved how few episodes in cowboy bebop give a shit about the quote unquote plot Yes It's great. It's fucking great Spike is running from his past and he can't get away from it. I'm gonna have my hijinks and every once in a while. What the fuck is that? Anyways, we're having space adventures. We're doing what the fuck is that? Like it's awesome. Is that an evil clown? You know

That's why it's so good is because it matters when it happens and it has to do with what he's trying to fucking run from It's great when you like, you know what take it easy You know, it's a great show fucking tng because every single week you're like, I wonder what they're gonna do Oh, no, Jordy got trapped on a planet with Romulan. Oh, no, so and so became a fish Oh, no, they fell into a portal where all they can do is gamble at a weird 1950s casino Oh, no, warf wants to kill himself because a barrel fell on him You know what episodes of star trek are kind of lame Episodes in tng that deal with like the long-standing threat of the neutral zone and the romulans and the plot

You just need to scully yelling. I don't know what I saw I don't know over and over again Yeah, how many episodes of star trek have to deal with the fucking holodeck or the teleporters fucking up like 300 Okay, you know why because those are episodes where you can go well, fuck it They fell into a different dimension where everyone has evil must do anything Yeah, you can do anything and it's just so frustrating when I see a story go No, not only are we gonna not do anything different or anything We're gonna do the same thing we did last time

Like I feel like bigger any reasonable system of of like Safety protocols would look at holodeck accident 15 and go We're shutting this fucking thing down until we can find a better way to get people on and off planet So there's a there's a fun little detail about that where in the second season of tng They introduce a character called reginald barkley good old reggie who is uh The only person in starfleet who has like crippling anxiety disorder He's kind of a fuck up and he's terrified and in particular

He is terrified of the tele of the transporter He he's freaked out and fucking Jordy tries to explain to him. You know how rare fucking transporter mishaps are reg You're crazy, man. It's the safest thing since flying in space And then you go on to tng which has so many Transporter mishaps that end with characters being killed Recombined and in one particular case

Becoming trapped in an alternate dimension as a space slug Okay, that you get to deep space nine where the writers are we are no longer going to have Transporter malfunction plots. Okay because tng did like 30. Yeah, okay. Okay, perfect And like reggie is correct to be terrified of the transporter It is insane to continue using this fucking thing Also an entire season of it voyager home of the shittiest writing in star trek until the card came out The most controversial thing to ever happen in voyager was two characters getting combined into one person on the transporter to create two vicks

which is Janeway decision of Get in the fucking thing and split back into two people or I will kill you And the character is going. Please don't kill me and she's like I don't care Isn't there also a fucking Split Character into an alternate version that now is just a second living Yes, uh riker or whatever. No, there's other

Riker gets beamed up, but it doesn't complete correctly So the pattern gets correctly resolved on the enterprise But the riker on the planet just stays there But then they were like well, we picked him up. So they just leave him there on like a destroyed Island for seven years and then they go get him and he's like my life is ruined Yeah, so you just you created life. You'd literally just also creating life when this thing goes badly like yeah uh, anyway Start start

People like star trek because star trek like genuinely people like star trek because star trek is a fiction In which you can have any type of story you want You can you can have for example Well, the gang got teleported into a fake reality where they have to pretend to be robin hood to rescue Picard's new girlfriend Why because they wanted to do a fucking robin hood episode That's why there have seen what appear to be clips and screenshots of multiple alternate realities that are just time periods in earth Fuck it

Like fuck it is. Hey. Hey. Hey star trek rider. Do you want to talk about how it sucks the way we deal with poor people? Uh, okay Cisco fell into the past and has to reenact a bunch of poverty riots just in case And we're gonna do a two episode series of how the future sucks to be poor Fuck it Fuck it do anything Excellent stranger things. What if will buyers was psychic too and there was a bigger monster. Who gives a shit?

It would be so interesting if you did the the fucking The you made us care about a couple of different groups and then you had a final thing where they came together You know guys RPG you're gonna We're gonna explore the exciting story Of how Obi-Wan Kenobi went from living in this spot on Tatooine To living on a slightly different spot on Tatooine, but his hair is whiter Get ready for the new adventure. You know won't go anywhere I might actually start Obi-Wan just to see I might start it. I'm uh

I'm open. I'm open to the possibilities. Oh shit. Anyway, anyway move it move x files. Great moving on from that Uh Fucking signal us finally put a demo out. Have you seen signal us? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah nice. Okay So if you have not seen signal us signal us is a playstation one throwback Uh survival horror game that takes place in space with an incredible like Anime art style. It's like fear effect and silent hill and uh resident evil and uh the demo is out and completely nails every single part of its presentation every single part of its controls and soundtrack

and it's just like incredible I am so excited for that game like fear effect but better is is really Wanted some good that's some good space to occupy that that kind of need to exist fear effect so bad to be good But it's not it's not It's cool like it's not

It's so cool And you want to love it you really want to you give it so much benefit of the doubt Oh, but it's not good and it's just not fun. It's not good. It's not a good game You're like god damn it bounce off so hard both times. I really wanted to love it. So yes I'm way down way down for something that has that energy uh, cool, uh And uh aside from that in terms of stuff how much was it? How much was the demo how how how much game was in the demo?

20 minutes. Oh no, not even like a It's very much a you do you you go through the the starting area and you get to do one puzzle There's five enemies and you get to pick up a gun and use the gun And you get to do a lot of the first person cool stuff like ps1 But then you fall into like a super intense Visually trippy nightmare sequence and it goes fucking signal us wish list it. I'm like, yeah, okay. I already did but I'll do it again um And the other game that I played which I would highly recommend everybody to check out by the way. I got it for free

Uh from devolver, but is card shark can can sorry. I just don't signal us like, um Yeah, like is there was there like um like full voice acting and and and everything? um, no, um, no, there is no voice acting but the computer nightmare of octong and Like warning background noises in german There's that in in voice acting, but other than that, there's no voice acting at least not yet

Okay, yeah, no this thing looks fucking cool and like not a goddamn Room with decent like like like it's doing the space horror thing where it's like good luck finding a single room that's properly late I feel like every screenshot. It's it's it's taking it's it's uh, it's it's influences are incredibly obvious, right? it's a ghost in the shell and fear effect and um that but the the space design is 100 true blood fucking nastromo alien one complete piece of fucking shit 70s spaceship

Like a a space truck Yeah, no, this is one that's been We've been looking at waiting on this for a couple years forever. Yeah. Yeah Cool cool cool cool But moving on to devolver's card shark, which again I got for free so take it with a grain of salt Card shark is one of the coolest games I've ever seen in my life Have you seen what card shark looks like looking at it now? It looks like a game made entirely out of renaissance era

Like playing card paintings um, and what card shark is is Not a game about cards has nothing to do with cards at all You in fact you don't play cards in card shark what you do Is you fucking cheat and steal? And the entire game is dedicated to you being a poor little french man Growing up in the era of the 1700s with voltair and all those dickheads and going hey, you know what?

You know how we can make some money and travel across the country by fucking learning how to cheat like motherfuckers And it goes into hey, do you want to know how to run every classical card scam that actually exists? Oh real scam. Here's how you here's how you do it. Here's how to fucking here's how to load the deck Here's how to fucking indent and dog ear the deck so that you can top deal it Here's how you can leave the room and fucking replace the deck with blanks and then load my hand Here's how you can fucking rig a coin toss Etc And it's all does the gameplay

Like because i'm looking at the there's like what appears to be like a overworld conversation platforming kind of thing And then once you're like playing the actual card part of it what so it looks like you're playing cards right in the in the footage But what it actually is the gameplay has nothing to do with actually like holding five cards out in front of you and picking the cards What it is is that you're going to go to a poker game And you are going to try and fuck with these people and rob them through trickery So what you're going to do is you have a suspicion meter that's going to rise depending on your bet And it will increase slowly as you perform scams on them

So you will then pick the scam that you learned the best And run the scam on them. So the easiest one is to pour wine in their glass Using the analog stick while your character peeks over their shoulder to see the amount of clubs that they have And then after after you finished pouring the wine and it says good pour because you didn't spill it to cause suspicion You'll then wipe the table near them in either a clockwise counterclockwise vertical or horizontal To signal to your partner you're working with whether on its clubs diamonds hearts Or spades I saw someone say

Wario where Yeah, yeah, okay. Absolutely. Cool, right and then or uh, let's see I'm gonna we're gonna throw a bunch of where I'm gonna pick up the cards after a Play and I'm going to be picking up different bunches of cards from left or right To load in the cards in the correct order So the fourth card is always going to go towards my buddy who's sitting fourth And so I want him to have all high value cards And as you're doing this you have to do as fast as possible because the suspicion meter is ticking up

And you're basically just running tons and tons of cool ass card scams And you're fucking hitting Voltaire with the fucking rigged coin tosses And you're going on this adventure in 17th century france to fucking get rich with the gypsies actual Voltaire Yeah Nice does Voltaire's like hey, I got some rich friends. Teach me how to cheat. This is cool Yeah, does he does he talk shit Voltaire's a fucking yeah, he's a witty one Voltaire's like wow deception is fascinating Can you can you rob these people and win all your game of cards without me noticing? Oh, wow, you did. That's crazy Good for you. I'm fucking rich

I think like the Like the like the only thing I remember being introduced to him by was uh the quote Give me five minutes to explain away my ugly face and I'll bed the queen of france It was like all right all right Sure And so I don't know what the current the the current like exact uh, uh fucking Goal is right now. I hate to hang on that far, but it seems to be make some money Go down to the Roma encampment that you're chilling with because those guys teach you the first card tricks like the guy teaches you three card Monty

Right Pay essentially your rents to the camp Right for the guys who are sheltering you moving you around so that people don't get you go out Hustle some more people and from what I played for a couple hours like three hours every single new stage is all right Here's a new hustle and you get a You know a chapter thing that says like chapter one But it's just like a card that says one out of x and it's like one like trick one out of 68 Trick two of 68 of this batch of scams

And you can choose which one you're gonna do Yeah, it depends once you learn enough of them you'll be going like oh you can choose the the shuffle You can choose to load a deck you can choose to indent it you can choose to dog gear it You can choose to load in duplicates Then like the most interesting one that I found is that you're leaving the room To to load up a good hand with a duplicate deck But upon doing so you have to make an excuse to leave the room the second time Because you now have to unload the duplicates

Because if you don't unload the duplicates and deal out two twos of spades, they're gonna go what the fuck is going on This has too many fours in it And you have to you have to socially like present an acceptable reason to okay now Here's the question that's very important towards a game. That's all about lying cheating and stealing What happens when you get caught? Uh people go what the fuck motherfucker and they kill you At which point you go and meet death and can play a little game of cards with death In order to earn your life back in which you can also cheat

Okay, okay wager with the devil And cheat your way back into life Yeah, nice. The button is literally cheat death. Nice. Very cool. It's great. It's super. Super good. I love it great concept And that's it for me if you want to check out more crap this week you go down to Pat stairs at the So wait twitch.tv slash Pat stairs at this week is the video game week.

Like I I feel as if just no matter what their friendship is at this point Kojima can't show his face on camera unless he has a nuke to drop You know, I think I think the way their friendship works is that kojima looks down at jeff kealy sucking his dick and goes Who are you? And then he goes i'm okay This is okay. Yep. Uh one second Cool all right. All right. Um, well, yes, there's a bunch going on. We'll talk about that

When you got electrocuted it was like a cause of death And uh, I don't know I read this and it might be some internet bullshit, but apparently It just got used colloquially enough that you could just use it to describe the process of You know getting getting zapped Yeah, my dad used to work at a place the guys would get zapped every now and then and He's old and he would just call it uh Being a fucking dumbass and zapping yourself like an idiot You know

We were just talking about headphones for a bit and there's something I need to mention I don't know if it's even fits into this week, but I'm on the west coast now. I'm in the pacific northwest and Uh people out here are different man People out here are real real fucking different The other day Maybe it was like 10 days ago, but I'm reminded now page and I were driving through the countryside and exploring and looking at all the nice shit And we happened upon a nice big public park in which about

20 or 30 people were engaging in what I now know is called a silent disco In which they were taking up a portion of the park all wearing their headphones and pretending they were at a club Dancing in the morning to dead silence And I wanted to walk into the ocean and die well I have never

I have never in my life been so dramatically hit with physical manifestations of cringe in my life Eyes closed doing all that swaying hippie bullshit Yeah, la la were they listening to the same song? I fucking doubt it

Well Um, that's the community. That's that's how you get That's how you get to to know your neighbors and that's how you get to feel welcome. You know by having little little fun Little fun facebook events. Remember when the remember the days of public facebook events and gatherings? Yeah, that's what's going on there Well, you don't want to fit in you don't want to you don't want to know You don't want to introduce yourself walk into the ocean and die You

It's one of those situations where I go to open my mouth and page like shut up Because she knows Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, and we're like we're not far enough away that Like if one of them popped ahead like they wouldn't I'm like, but I'm like I'm like vibrating with like Shit to say that's some normal people having a good time

That is no no, it's not. Yep. Yep. If it's if that's the community They're having a good time and you're welcome to join them and show that you're you're down for a good time, too I recently do you follow Justin Wang on twitter? Uh, yeah Okay, so Justin Wang's twitter is like the worst twitter in the world. I'll never stop following it um, he retweeted He retweeted somebody With the with the phrase confidence is disgusting

Yesterday and it was a bunch of 20 year old standing around on a staircase playing guitar and singing random songs from the 90s and aughts and like all head bopping and shit and I I wish that a bomb went off underneath them like I was repelled Like it's it's disgusting like we'll have like Vibing and feeling yourself needs to stop having a good time needs to go Yeah, it does. Mm-hmm. Okay. It need you know, stop it

Shut up Uh Damn fucking worst. Yeah Yeah, yeah, I I hope I hope that the The place you're moving to has a clean view of the ocean from the top view of the lighthouse I hope that I hope that you are Highly elevated into your tower where you can lock those doors And just chill forever

Looking down from above fucking It's just uh people Yell at that. Yell at that cloud. I'm right there of like seeing people having a good time in an annoying way I'm just like stop it Fuck that stupid cloud. The fact that you're having a good time is annoying to me You

Decided to introduce more green and sun into your life. I am I'm very out of place. This is what's outside This is what's outside waiting for you Dude, I was dude. I was we were walking down the street the other day and I said, uh, because that we walk at we Walkin out the street and sometimes Out here the the the fucking crosswalk doesn't even have a stop sign And it's like oh no people will stop and I'm like So I'm standing we're walking across and I'm like, you know, it's wild to me as somebody from Montreal because like

A crosswalk doesn't mean shit. I can't believe people actually just choose not to hit me with their car And I said, you know as somebody from Montreal, I saw like four people on the sidewalk go snap their heads towards me And just like stare a little bit and I'm like Okay. Yeah, right right. I am the weirdo here I'm the problem. You are the problem So you can continue to be the problem Or you can let it bleed in a little bit. I'm just what I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do Is I'm gonna feel the way I feel

But instead of saying it out loud, I'm just gonna crush it way down Deep where I can't see it anymore And then one day 11 years from now I'm just gonna have a tirade over some kid kicking their football on my lawn And like have a heart attack and die And and that's that's the good way to deal with this

You know, these are the same people that are setting up those fun little shops that are uh, You know, uh self managing, right? These are the same fun people that are Doing all the things you like about the area that's near you. Do you do you want to hear do you want to hear like the absolute Like east coast fucking brain rot Is we're in a we're in a tiny little Stand that has pies just sitting around and it's like take some and here's the the the e-transfer link just send us the money and I

Literally cannot help myself But I will pick up The pie and I'll pick up the piece of bread and I'll pick up the the Danish and I will Stand there and look at them and go okay This pie is 30 And this one is five and this one is seven. So that's 42 dollars. Okay remind me

We're gonna pay that when we go home Because in my mind Even though there's no camera. There's a camera And they're watching it to make sure I don't just walk in and take it and leave Even though that's how it works literal pie theft pat Yeah, literal pie theft is this where it comes back to my point is is I'm standing there going I want to make sure that they feel that I'm not stealing the pie because

Because ever because food out in the open means you're stealing it Like acclimating is weird So like I said the same uh attitude and mirth that that has uh Uh The the confidence and the niceness to set up a little pie stand where you can e-transfer the costs That's the same type of person that's having a little disco dance party in their headphones down at the park

Same people the the ultimate is that we turned into a farm at one point that was having a little thing for sale And then we walk up and then there's this fancy bread that I've never seen before so we tried it What basically once a week we go find a farm stand and we try fancy bread or fancy pie or whatever And we're talking to the lady there and she's explaining how the the bread the the wheat is blessed And we're like what pardon she's like oh so-and-so always you know before uh before the harvest she she brings down the the group from the retreat And uh, they do they do like a like a classical like a seance or like they do a blessing and it's like you know

Mother Earth nature and and and you know, that's that's why the the bread is so good and and like yep. Yep. Yep We're standing there And I'm being overwhelmed By the feeling that I'm being fucked with Just Overwhelmed Right, it's not a curiosity

When was the last time you've had to do a polite A polite prayer Before eating at someone's house or something like that When's the last time someone was like we're going to say grace here and you just have to you're just present for it 29 years Well, really you haven't been like in a in a polite grace situation. I've literally had to do it once Okay

Because that's a learned skill is that my it was at my friend's jonathan's house because he was a jahovah's witness Yeah, that's a learned skill You might meet some neighbors who you're like, oh, yeah, come over for dinner. We're all gonna have a good time You know and uh, you get to fix yourself a plate you sit down and they go, all right So we're just gonna bless the food real quick and then you have decisions to make And you you get to you get to choose how much to You know to lean in to lean out to distance Do you close the eyes? Do you put the hands up if you want to go all in?

You can go hands up and eyes closed if you really want to signal where you're at in your journey You know, this is the maximum or you can just Stand with your eye your hands in your pockets and and eyes open if you pull your phone. No, I would Oh, I unless if you count like uh, uh shrine Prayers out in japan one. Oh, yeah, I guess it is places Then then it would have been that because it's like, you know, I don't believe it You do it when you when it's polite. Yeah, no, not not those I'm talking about the one where you're socially pressured with a group of people that probably want to hold your hand

So, you know what you know what the problem is with the story? I just told you and she's explaining to us how the the hippies form the commune to Do the bread the magic with the fucking spirits um, the problem is Is that the bread fucking rules? And it was super good and it was one of the best pieces of bread. I've ever had in my life And now I'm now I'm sitting here going like

Fuck does it Did it help? Every time we ask for kosher food. It's amazing Have you got kosher food's incredible every time I go for kosher food for to keep it simple on the on the rules It's it's super good. It's super good. Have you had Passover food? Yeah, it's great latkes and fucking applesauce and the All of it amazing. It tastes so I can really fucking good I can make what I can make a decision right either

Blessing the ingredients is imbuing magic taste to food or The type of people who are gonna get a gang of 20 to sing over some bread while it's being made Are the type of people who give a goddamn shit about making good food Because they're going to every length to improve the quality I'm I'm gonna go with that one I mean if you're buying into that then you might as well Uh, if you it's too late if at that point you might as well just jump on the train with uh

Metallica whiskey which is whiskey that they play metallica to it As they prepare it So so I made the bourbon These two stories combine in this awful way as I'm standing here watching the fucking hippies Dance in silence near the ocean like the most cringe worthy pieces of shit I've ever seen and go are these the people that were summoned to make the bread taste good with the magic? I don't know If it tastes bad. Well, what you need to do is is taste from taste some blasphemous bread

And and do a real quality check on that Right if you can find Someone around the corner that also makes something similar, but you know that their their life is not right with christ Um, try some of that bread and see how it tastes, you know, well, no you're saying pagan communist shit So that's actually not christ, but either way either way Someone that's that's and it's missing the the the crystals and the reiki spirits in their life, you know It's uh, yeah west coast is different people out here

People it's did the to build different. It's very It's uh, it's very weird I'm having culture shock. Anyway, that's correct Okay You want to talk about street fighter woolly? Uh, yeah, sure. Um Let's do that. So street fighter six has been fully revealed and

I mean listen the The number one thing anybody wants to know when a capcom fighting game is announced is the fucking roster And for that reason, I don't think they've announced a single fighting game and not had a leak Since 2009. I think the roster of every single capcom fighter leaked out early In similar methods to this sometimes it was just a list Sometimes it was just a description or a or a video or a screenshot But my personal favorite was ultimate marvel where the screenshots were the characters were just all up on the website website

website jpegs Sometimes there's cross-tech in where the models are sitting untextured on the disc But no matter what game there have always been leaks because people need to know What characters are going to be in the fucking game? It's the only thing that matters So we've got we've come a long way dealing with capcom where capcom of old of much old would go dead silent just not talk about it at all or

Shut the fuck up. Mm-hmm or Uh, my personal favorite was Here's a here's some polls about what characters you want coming to street fighter 4 as dlc when the roster is like Already been decided for over a year. Mm-hmm. Now we've come The the method of telling people to shut the fuck up It doesn't work obviously, but when you go for it Usually if they're like you're showing pictures, you're not supposed to see or videos or trailers

You're not supposed to have you you are revealing an asset that is our property. They're going to go down that road, right? Yeah If you happen to just have a screenshot in your own trailer That has a list of names on the tournament mode and max a million pulls out a magnifying glass And stares at it and pulls names off of that list You have no one else to blame but yourself Uh-huh So before any of the other confirmed character are leaked or anything there was the list from the trailer itself

And then oops, I accidentally dropped the photo of the entire roster And it's just right there now I will say We've come a long way Actually going out and saying yo, so we've seen a lot of stuff lately Uh, thanks for the positive reactions Genuine improvement very surprised a lot of us saw things we weren't supposed to see here in in the metro city Yeah, yeah

um Now that being said there's there's still the actual there's the reveal and then there's uh everything that that that came afterwards Couple details couple plot things yadda yadda um As a whole on the presentation with it Um, setting my expectations for like re engine realism. I was hoping that uh, the best way to Uh, the we talked about it when the first reveal showed off the the ryu and luke But I was basically like, okay

This is the direction we're going in and it's one that's going to lose some of the um Aki man or nishitani style full-on art, um Uh, like the the character designs that come straight from that art right there aren't right So re engine leans itself to realism Understanding that and putting that expectation in I was hoping I was like, okay the way to Try to keep the flavor then would be to have

Liberal use of the ink lines the splashes the color the effects whichever version you want to go with be at pencils the ink whatever and uh Thankfully they did do that. So when I saw the amount of the when I saw the visual presentation being like bold and very aggressive with the graffiti look in certain Um activations of the mechanics and stuff like that like the focus attack coming out and shit Um, I was like, okay cool. That's what I would like to see if we're going realism because um It it helps hold on to some identity, you know

mm-hmm For the visuals, I'm in this weird place where I like the new setting. I like the general look I like the graffiti a lot I like the use of color But I I can't stand the way the realistic characters look I feel like they look like like knockoff tech and characters Hmm, like I don't I I strongly dislike it It doesn't bother me. I think they I think they look like

High-detailed characters It's not I'm not taking it as a um I would prefer if they were more stylized because I just happened to like seeing An artist's interpretation Yeah, I would prefer going more towards Exeter strive than Mortal Kombat. Yes, but um, but I but I don't I'm not taking it as a negative in this in this Uh

Case because I I think it looks all right, you know, I don't mind that um I Also, I'm happy to see a return to the street in Street Fighter Um

As well the you know third strike was obviously like the third strike soundtrack is Legendarily just fucking Tip-hop and it's it's awesome and the whole thing is one is, you know, the best sounding Street Fighter game um In this case, it's been a part of the promotional material often But the actual game would drop and not have any of that, right? So don't forget that four five

And now six all have Early trailers that show you like hip-hop and like play, you know that kind of feeling But when the game drops itself, it doesn't actually commit to that as much Now that being said this one's gonna have to because Like a graffiti is like a primary visual motivator. Yeah, I certainly do hope so Um Because there's there's that part of it and then of course like it's that and then there's the casing that is like the The recognizable ost, you know of the themes of all the characters. Those are always going to be there

You're not going to miss out on, you know, like the the swelling themes of Ryu and Gile and all these recognizable tracks over the years But um for the rest of it, I certainly do hope that they kind of keep that feel to it Um also on aesthetics, um Obviously logo change Much better logo Not surprised to see that logo improvement still is not the brand that we get from the old street fighter You know yellow orange red like very loud fiery combat text Um, but it is nonetheless

It is a big improvement over the the first one they showed and i'm someone who Doesn't mind graphic design aesthetic approaches to things so on a personal level I I I like what they got here and I think it's way better. Yeah, it's a huge improvement Thank god they did Um We can take it case by case so you know what's not a huge improvement Mm-hmm Fucking luke

Oh my god Oh my god The fact that his fucking official art is him doing the fucking Guy Fieri flavor town fucking pose Is like luke sucks so fucking bad Um Where was the thing uh hold on a second There was a bit That I saw where they're just like

Oh god, fuck him. We hate him even more now because in his profile He's a p.m. C Uh No, but what did it say I think oh his oh he likes wacky shirts and his dislikes are horror games Yeah, so yeah, people are just like fuck luke He hates horror games, dude It's Hey, man

I I'm I'm I'm fine. I'm fine with it. He here's the thing, right? So when I saw so I don't particularly like jamie either, but I think he's fine. I like you, right? I think he's fine. He doesn't Doesn't I I could take him or leave the hair down vodka as it looks really sick But I have a very active vicious hatred of luke. Mm-hmm, and I was like very strongly worried I was like, oh god, please not a whole fucking sub roster of luke's And now that we have the whole roster Wow, it's just luke

No, it's just him. No, he's so trash. Well, here's the thing though because No, there is another character and this also Predicates how you're going to feel about luke when ed was revealed The way you feel about ed will determine how you also feel about luke if you're down with I feel like ed has a similar energy and like a lot of people that disliked ed in his um in his uh original reveal Uh, we're also disagree strongly. I think ed looks cool. Oh interesting. Okay. I think all of ed's costumes look cool

Although it's a starter once anyway. I feel a lot of people that hate uh, hate luke also hated ed and um, you know, well, there's a thing where it's just like it's another fucking blonde boy character and street fighter But then there's like the outfit which bunch people just didn't dig um I liked the the hoodie version Uh, especially and in that same sense

I'm down for and like now this new one as well is a little more like yeah, it's not it's not the the young commander outfit It's the the like kind of street wear um, I think that's it's cool and uh, yeah, it's the same shit I've said before but I'm just like I feel like It's been weird how mma representation has been lacking in street fighter. So I'm down for that I'm just I'm just sitting here watching everybody like hate on me because I actually like ed Or like his design and like I'm sitting there and I'm like trying to think of like what is it?

And then I see somebody literally say well pat likes it when the character wears a hat and they're right The fact that ed wears a hat makes him cool. You like a hat. Okay. Okay. That is good um Yeah, now for me like The purest coolest version Uh of what luke could have been is essentially just grappler backie. Really what is what I want to get or uh, Tendo from uh king of fire. Well guy. Tendo is grappler backie. That's why I'm just cut cut to the chase on it right

We don't need to talk about jonathan joe star when we can talk about kenshiro like Just I like a grappler backie of sorts Is the energy that I really want and like and want to see exist in street fighter because that type of mma fighter Is a big part of what fighting is today, but it just doesn't exist there, right? I have I have to I like this is This is my projection But it feels to me that like we're gonna put mma The new thing into our game and we're gonna make sure that it's the most unlikable fuck boy that's ever been in street fighter Because that's what we think of mma. You know, I just yeah

I don't think it's that bad. What did I but when you put a picture of him right next to ninja We go fuck. Yeah, he looks like ninja. He's got the same parrot face and everything, you know Um like the reason why luke is still fighting all these years later is because he went broke because his apes got stolen Fucking god damn it. I by the way, you know looks so much, you know, it's hilarious when we're playing mass effect and joker is Seth oh, yeah Joker what happened to your apes You know what my favorite part about everything to do with seth green Was I was streaming in the uh seth greens the sad because his apes got stolen and somebody in the chat goes

Oh, no, not seth green. I never thought he am like, yeah, you did What are you talking about? You never thought that seth green would buy some stupid apes you're kidding yourself But um, yeah, no, I I'm still like i'm fine with luke, man I think uh, I think that works um Ryu Interesting, so i'm like looking at it. I'm like man those I can't believe his and he's not barefoot. That's wild

but the the Originally the shawl over him. I was like, I don't know about that aesthetically um But it's a goken oro thing Exactly and once reggie pointed that out. I was like, oh fuck. Okay. Yes. No Actually that makes sense And it's a signifier of him overcoming the struggle and he no longer is is he's defeated the satsui nohado And this is what that that exemplifies. Okay, totally on board the plot reasons for that to exist to make sense

If it was just an element out of nowhere, I think I'd be yeah, I'd be more questioning about it, but Meanwhile, they specified more gokin than oro that is to say. Yeah, we move over to ken who went all in on bitcoin and luna Well, so that's the thing right and and this brings me to uh the the design to plot discussion because ken has had everyone In an uproar and it's wild because like I've seen people go like fuck what I hate when you just make people Uh that are in happily ever after is go sad for no reason and um And I look at it and I'm thinking of uh, I'm thinking of well

How do we Okay, so thank god we've confirmed for one that this takes place after third strike, right way after My biggest concern was that we'd be still stuck in the pre third strike post five world That would sure be terrible But we're moving forward because we see chan li and li fen and li fen it looks at least 16 And in her endings as a kid. She looks like she's about six. So maybe it's been about 10 years, right? Whatever so everyone from street fighter two is going to be pushing 50 easy. Yeah. Oh, yeah, probably um

The idea of ken now Going through his down and out phase is like well If you really want to look at it. It's like yeah, johnny cage and sonia blade kind of just did this bit Right. Yeah, and furthermore like fucking mark of the wolves wild wolf terry became the bomber jacket bum years ago So When I saw the because ken's image leaked out before the whole roster

I legitimately thought it was fake Because he's pretty much exactly the same as mark of the wolves terry It's it's kind of nuts how it's really so similar Yeah, and and i'm thinking that's that's the bit where they're like you're seeing the design cues taken there for sure I although harata had a funny tweet where he's like it's like Showing ryu doing a dungeon or no doing a shin show ryu and you're seeing the x-ray for just one frame You know it's kind of like ah, it's basically like yeah, okay We see you're taking after the the the other stuff that's that's that's uh, you know your other your competitors here

um, but the the terry bulgard energy coming off of ken here is Very strong and then yeah part of it where it's like oh Eliza left him and That's not necessarily true that part. That's that's Fanfiction well, so I think I came off 4chan Well, here's the part here's the thing is the reason why I think that's being given credence is because one There's the artwork and then there's there's a clip of of him in game confirming that artwork is in fact his model So there's a shot of him in game alongside a shot of cammy doing her ultra or her super So we know that both of those looks are are confirmed

then The same person that was leaking those details about The design of the characters also leaked some plot In the same post and that post talked about ken being left by Eliza Right and and it's it also mentioned him um Like having a dog tag that was melz and it seems like yeah I guess she took the kids and left type of thing and he and and and also, uh, I get him

It's all in that realm of speculation, but um, there was something about Oh, it wasn't it was a different post. Okay. All right. Yeah, dude. I'm telling you that's this that that story thing is not true Okay, all right Well, if if that's not true then, uh, all you have is the look which is just him looking kind of down and out But he's not even bleaching his hair right anymore Yeah, you can see the roots got fucking roots Which people uh, just in case you didn't know ken is in fact, he's got black hair He he bleached bleaches a blonde right that's been a detail

It's one of those funny little details that mean you have been talking about for decades and like The day finally fucking put it in it's crazy Mm-hmm So the whole so the meme that's been going around and stuff with the whole like the broken bummed out divorcee ken stuff Um Yeah, okay I thought that came from the same post and so that's why it was being treated as more credible

But if it in fact is just that he just looks different, but is actually fine then We'll see That changes a lot of what I was about to bring up for me about the divorce ken energy is like in that big leak thing of all the art He's standing with a visible slouch Like that that to me he like and he's not doing his hair right anymore Yeah, and he's he's also he's not super clean shaved, right? And also for me it's a fun idea because the long ken ryu thing for decades now has been ryu is functionally homeless

And constantly suffering from go crazy murder people energy and his life's basically a fucking mess Meanwhile ken's over here with the perfect wife in the shit zillion dollar mansion And a good kid and he's fucking he looks great and his gi is nice and he's rich And he's still also winning all of the tournaments that he's entering Well, so this is the thing What what's important if you want to go to the plot of these characters is and these are everlasting Characters that can't have endings because there are brands at the same time Yeah, but when you're trying to reach something as

resembling a satisfactory conclusion Uh, you have no further to look Then ryu final, right? Yeah, because ryu final came out and this thing is basically the story of ryu um post third strike coming to the end of his story and what happens in that for ken at least is very very important to his character because uh ryu is basically Off training with oro who's, you know, one of the strongest people on the fucking planet

T trying to try to pass down his his power to somebody that can actually handle it um, and in the meantime ken goes off and fucking fights gill and like Rex him beats gill, right? Well, it doesn't he he he finds his power in the fight He's losing at first and then he brings it back and does the threat right ken beats the big threat and Saves the day there and then later ryu's like what the fuck that's crazy, dude. Like, oh, we've got we we got to fight We got to figure this out and then they do and ken rex ryu's ass destroys him

Right and ryu's like what the what is happening? And ken's like basically like okay, so yeah that thing that you're searching for You know the answer that lies in the heart of battle that you've been trying to find the Getting your entire fucking life, too The the satsuinohado and all that that all that struggle the thing you're searching for I found it. It's my family It's literally my wife and kids. So by the power of mamoru anime rules Why don't you fucking get laid ryu if I if I put them at the center of my soul They become my my purpose for fighting and they power me up as I fight on their behalf

Right so family becomes the reason why ken gets stronger and the end of his journey is like I don't have to do the journey that ryu is on to get the same strength I can go my own path with my family. You know, right? Um, and he he fucking crushes it yet again in that scenario as well. You know, um so uh that energy then being I guess like Upturned in some way in this path would be Odd I'd be curious to know what it would be because like maybe he's just aesthetically looking a little bummy

But things are fine or if things are not fine Um, if there is any truth to the possibility that he's having marital troubles or something That would be sad But it would be like the kind of thing where I hope at least if he starts out that way He can find his way back home. You know that there can be a journey to To fixing the problem if he starts out kind of you know in the dumps also genuinely if uh, if anything about divorced ken is accurate

It uh with our current roster understanding Yeah, if for ken's personal journey, it provides an incredibly compelling new final rival Which is not ryu. It's guile his wife's brother his brother-in-law just like Mm-hmm Motherfucker, what are you doing showing your face around here? I know what you did Etc. Perhaps but the thing too there is of course like, you know, there's always the

The the bit where it's like, okay, guile and what about you abandoning your family to to fucking go hunt down Charlie's killer and all that shit. You're not that great of a family man yourself Yeah, at which point the obvious rebuttal is yeah, I got him and then I went back Like yeah, I got him I killed bison perhaps, you know um But yeah, so it should be it should be interesting to see where they where they take it here um, and of course we we mentioned it before but like the Old bearded ryu actually hot ryu being default. Yay. Good awesome lock it in

Chunli's hair is interesting because like it does Like it's her face never ages because the makeup is always there, but like her hair Tuft is now flatter than usual So she does look older Just with that one detail. I feel um And then uh, yeah, and then the whole roster came out So first of all yun and yang yun and yang style fighting always great, but break dancing is

like So the most there's capoeira in the form of elena, but they never had full-on duck king ass break dancing Yeah in street fighter. So that's that's cool nor drunken master I think I think it's kind of wild um Just how old the characters in street fighter two are in this game that The children of yun and yang from third strike are now the old people that one of the new guys is looking up to Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm

They and that's great to think about the time That allows the the the new generation to age. I'm very excited for that possibility Like the new generation is now old enough to be the old generation and the world warriors are fucking Dinosaurs. Yeah, by the way It's very clear now That calcom has learned its from its mistakes and the world warriors will Never

Not be on the starting roster of a street fighter game ever again You're getting the you're getting the original eight every time that that that much is the four bosses Okay, maybe not but though that those eight Well, so the question is is like four bosses sounds like the right number for a shadow lude dlc pack Oh sure does You know Yeah, uh, that is that is that is what you see when you get these characters. Okay Um, now you're looking at the returning design elements on them as well

And it feels as if the break dancing we saw the break dancing. Sorry the the urban style like the the Revisions of them that were in that mobile game Actually, some of those design cues were kind of used in some of these here. Yeah 100 They kept some of that energy which was dope because it worked. Um, I uh, uh shout outs to uh the the Uh angriest gamer meme yelling about oh, yeah, uh cammy's pants or whatever Like she she she's she's looks fantastic Okay, but also, oh, it's the sensory who's about she's wearing leggings

Did you see chun's scandalous fucking pants in that trailer? Leggings are a fucking Leggings are a fucking type of pants yoga pants that were invented to get around Like skin requirements for sexiness For the tightest fucking shit in the universe. They it's tacky pants essentially furthermore the old costume is still there as shown in that clip where she's doing her super and um, I I'm guessing that there's a thought that like The the the ESPN not wanting to show Armica in her default costume

Being a dumb thing is something that they probably are thinking about from the ground up here going. Okay If costume one by default is fine for ESPN That'll be better than if it's if we have to force an alternative or whatever You know and I have to like so then you have all all the all the classics, right? So Um, man, all of the the classic characters redesigns that we haven't seen yet Are all fantastic Like dolls him in particular Just give him a beard. Yep. That's always that's the move done

Um, what's particularly fun is seeing I mean so jury is a winner no matter what like I feel like you can't fail on her design Like it I completely disagree. I think her design in five was terrible compared to four and six Ah man, I love a I think most of her costumes work, dude. I don't know. I I feel like the the four outfit was sick The biker outfit. I liked it and this one kind of comes in and does a whole new thing a little bit more reminiscent of four but um I I I think jury as a character works in a lot of different looks Um, but Rashid coming back. Oh, it looks great. Fucking awesome

All right, and I'm very happy too because one of the things I was saying before the leaks were out there was that um, hey I know returning characters is awesome But I really want to make sure I want you guys to I want there to be in a like a lot of new characters too, right? Like new characters become favorites Before you know it when you give them the chance. We didn't care about Rashid before now. We do You know, uh, we didn't care about jury now. We do there's ed now. We care So just new characters be giving getting a shot is always something I want. Um, despite the fact that deep in my heart

Uh, uh Grown-ass Makoto It would make me super happy to see um DJ looks fun Right. Yeah Shocked DJ came back genuinely out of all the old characters Well, you know got got shunned last time. So, you know, DJ gets a spotlight now after missing out

um And then akuma looks like what they should have done to begin with last time around Yeah, akuma really just looks like a do-over from his sf5 design But it's always the akuma thick question has always been the same. It's like take the shirt off. Give him a beard Put the gray highlights in That's it, right? The third strike, we know how it ends up looking. So just Add time to the guy who's who's like a fucking woodsman anyway, you know, practically

um But then you show the new eight, right? So, um Marissa the giant Uh buff lady that is centurion outfit Because she's italian. Yep Looks like a roman gladiator I'm down for the muscles. I'm down for the the buff um

Looks quite defined in that artwork Uh, as opposed to, you know, like again like she hulk or something from the previous conversations Uh, yep. I'm very interested in that always a fan. Her hair looks like a War helmet as well actually Yeah, it looks like it looks like a centurion helmet. Mm-hmm Um, you got me me French I want to say yeah french fighter girl. Um, sure label dude. Yeah looks like it Originally girl able was like little girl with the big gloves and the and the pigtails, but uh, yeah, this looks like a redo

Let's do that original able design again, but uh pink It pink this time Uh, you got fucking uh jp Another old man handsome daddy design for anyone who wants their daddies So g know where to be found yet here, but jp seems to have that energy unless that is g Unless but he's he's no but but the next to him it says russia on the flag, but then there's a question mark Maybe it's net girl after he got better Um

If g's world plan worked out and the cues are taking over and they're everywhere Um, yeah, this could be something related to that the next step of You know his his his fucking takeover, but either way old man energy is something that the capcom has realized The the the fans want they want daddy casts Uh daddy's on the cast so jp's in there Um ackee as the replacement for a fong like character Sure looks like girl fong Looks much better than

Much much better than than oh, yeah, yeah, but i'm expecting, you know poisons and assassin type things and that's all pretty straightforward And then there's like lily who uh looks to be like yeah, mexican native Which is Makes me you're immediately you think of teahawk right because you can go Uh, you can go mexican without going mexican native specifically, but looking at that i'm guessing there's probably gonna be a relation to teahawk or his village somewhere in there Um and kimberley who was at the end of the original trailer Who's just american girl with with the with the big old tails looks like she's probably gonna do ninja things

I might be like an like maybe in a boogie student or something um She's like upside down in that in that uh, uh pose on the on the screen so Possible Well, how do you feel About street fighter six finally adding the first black woman to street fighter ever with kimberley Wow You know it's important to break through these milestones

As we specify That uh, you know there's there's there's black and then there's black of course now the first black woman Does it necessarily mean the first black woman? But it definitely means that kimberley is the first black woman She just happens to not be the first black woman I think the doubling down that elena doesn't count because she's from africa might be the most insane thing i have ever read in my life You know The easy out would have been just let's edit the article and and change it to say the first african-american woman

Right easy right there, but instead they did the opposite the opposite way around Which makes no fucking sense Yeah, a little kotaku kotaku article anyway Anyway, um Oh, man. Oh, I fucking spit out my drink. I saw it You african-american Uh

Could have been used but instead it went the other way and it's like saying no black does excludes people who are african and it's like, okay well That's that's the weirdest way to go, but sure we'll double down on that Why not? Um anyway, I I don't know I don't know regardless though Um Yeah, I think uh, I think that's a strong a strong starting roster and then i'm sure there's gonna be the dlc stuff to come

So, you know, I I saw the I saw the the original trailer and like I I could take her leave jamie and I fucking hate luke So goddamn fucking much. So I was kind of like Bums not I wasn't I wasn't excited. I was like fine, but it was like seeing that that full roster I'm very happy with that full roster. That's a good-looking roster. Mm-hmm And then they then they started to go into the gameplay details And they went into a lot of system in gameplay details sure did and that's that's my meat and potatoes That's what I'm looking to fucking chow down on and so yeah I like now those so characters aside what I'm expecting and and thinking is we're probably gonna see

dlc pack third strike couple third strike characters and like two new ones DLC pack alpha a couple alpha characters two new ones, you know, like I'm expecting that you could just take those those missing obvious things and then Um, you throw time into the mix and then add some new characters as well and there you've got your seasons ready to drop, right? Okay, mechanically um Wow, I was confused at first because I was like, oh, we're doing parries. We're doing focus attacks And we're seeing v-shifts

So are there gonna be grooves and it's like no we're giving everything We just decided to bring in every major mechanic from every street fighter game to ever release And put them all in the same on the same bar Yeah, and so the later versions of five the updates like especially like post championship edition started to really like show off like, okay kind of like ex street fighter four characters were um Omega mode characters were test beds for five You can see some of the stuff that was a test bed for six in the form of Like I want to say like five characters on the roster of five have parries, but they're different kinds of kinds

Ryu had a one that was bad initially because it was too slow to come out And you know the punish was wasn't wasn't worth going for and alex had the one that would go to an attack Right afterwards exactly right gill gets gets one as well all different tests as to how to make the parry work Right, um, and then here they've settled on one and we don't know what the timing is going to be But whether it comes out in one or three frames is going to be very important There's two timings They they did come out a little bit the the parry and you can watch the gameplay footage if you like frame by frame it The the parry comes out quite quickly

But you get different effects based on whether or not it's within a certain window of something hitting you So there's put the parry out and it stays out and it functions more like a focus attack Or put the parry out as a parry and then it functions as a third strike parry Okay, well so that yeah, I so the question so if but like if it comes out Instantly or if there is a startup to it that makes a difference in neutral that's gonna chew that's gonna It's gonna make the the the The competitive scene of that game have a completely different flavor because third strike being what it is revolves around the parry at high level right it just does

And I saw that It's interesting because like there was a lot of arguing about sf5 in the long history of it of like it It makes you want to play it your way in the execution machine against there's not a whole lot of room for player expression There's a lot of room for player expression when you have all these fucking toys to play with you have got a lot of toys now just On each one like the parry. Yeah, so the if you have a just frame one, you know response then that's that's you know, that'll be Useful in battle something slower than that might not be as useful because review players try to make it work And they couldn't for the life of them figure it out People are saying that

That max counted it and it's three frames. It's a three frame parry Okay, well It's it's worked right back to it where it was 20 years ago. Okay. Well, well, so well, no Because that that means it's much harder to use in neutral And that means that review players who basically went fuck this thing. I can't use it properly Gave up on it and and like talking with reggie about that specifically He's just like, yeah, if you can't like if it's not a third strike parry essentially It it feels like you're it's not worth it going for it in the in the way it implemented into review in five, right?

um Things might change of course, but if that's what we're going with we'll go on the max frame numbers for now back to the nightmare everyone It's 2001 and you're playing a character. You physically can't hit okay so, um In addition to that, of course, you've got all the other mechanics now The the wildest thing about them even before going into them is the fact that they use a completely different meter right, um, the uh, the the break, uh, was it a break system or anyway, um

All of the fucking mechanics Introduced drive all the mechanics introduced in the drive system are all, um Uh, there you have your defensive stuff as in their parries that you've got your your fadc Which is a cancelable dash outside of outside of a A normal You've got what is your other focus attack thing, which is just eat drive impact crumble. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm Um, and then yeah, the wall splatter exactly, but what's wild is ex moves are considered drive Uh, uh, they cost drive to do

Right, so that means ex moves don't cost normal super mar That means that you get ex moves for free When you get furthermore the drive meter is not a meter that you build up as you do things it starts full And replenishes over time after you deplete it When you deplete it you go into cool down or burn out mode and we don't know what that means yet But it sounds like it's bad along the short of it it use these Choose them a lot use but but but but here's the here's the issue right and you got to be careful with it

mk11 introduced a similar thing where you had an action You had a bar that would regen after you used out certain defensive actions on it That when you're playing when you're using defensive options that makes sense You can you can kind of work in a way that is like I fucked up I'm going to take my my replenishing meter to get out of this situation But if I fuck up more than once I'm going to be in a dead I'm going to be in a shitty situation where I have to guess or die right right um

In this if you put offensive options behind a replenishing thing they have to be Really carefully balanced because essentially like if you are someone who's got a really good move That's an ex move and you're kind of like if you got like a young ex lunge punch ready to go And you have those for free right away start of the round And then you run out of them. It's almost like well now we've created create a moment where Um, you have the problem that can exist where if someone is in a temporarily powered up state in a fighting game And it makes no sense to fight them. We just lame it out and I disengage

Right um the example I use this uh the critical counter system in king of fighters 12 was poorly thought out because uh It gives you a couple seconds of being super super strong and scary to fight Where the opponent might as well just not fight you and the last thing you want to happen here is uh, oh I have time for me to not fight anymore and then the pacing of the match becomes um You know much more staggered and lame doubt as a result of this replenishing meter Just being like if I wait back and not if I stop playing the game for a couple seconds I'll be back to normal create weird paced matches luckily

Perry's replenished that meter and both characters have full access to all these fucking zany tools at all times So it seems uh as well as time now if burnout leads to stun Which is what i'm seeing there that would be really crazy because that means you're eating Uh, you know a full bread and butter when you fuck up on a gamble, but don't go too nuts um and and The implementation of how it's paced out can be tweaked to to you know adjust these problems, but it gives me a concern

to create a system where People might wait to replenish and stop fighting. That's always a big thing you got to worry about when you make fighting Oh, you mean like the absolute shittiest thing in the universe with third strike where it's like fuck I need more agus reflectors punch punch punch punch not even that not not meter building not not meter building um, i'm talking about like that shit I'm talking about like Either i'm installed or i'm uninstalled Time for me to just back up and not fight or the other player being like

If you get one crush counter on me right now there goes half my life I'm just not going to play until that goes away, right? anyway, um, so That seems to be uh, uh, what they're going for the rate of replenishment is going to be a huge factor in whether that problem I'm discussing comes out So again, we'll have to see the the the in the gameplay um other things with the system that are very interesting to to look at is of course, um the push towards

Easy operation essentially, which is not surprising at all. In fact, it's been there forever as a thing um I look at when I look at the simplified control system at first we were worried It was the only control system because the way you scroll down that list I was like, uh, oh, is this the only one but it's it's like you have classic and then you've got the new one um, that's been a thing before I'm it's nice to see that a lot of people that we've been having this discussion about like easy inputs with and stuff People are excited to see that and they're like, yeah, I'm down to try that

But the fact that it exists in so many other games and has not really Done the job of actually Appealing to people and bringing in new people that use that system makes me look at this and go It's probably gonna do the same thing, right? I um, I really think that the this particular implementation Looks really good It does work For what street fighter needs and it is street fighter So it's gonna get more attention than other fighters are but stylish mode exists an excerpt

EO exists in EO um F going back to fucking marvel versus capcom one when you pick a character you can pick easy or manual and easy was double tap a button to do a special and uh, press all three to do a super right? This has been a thing in so many fighting games and that hasn't really It allows new players to have that that like point of entry entry But it hasn't really like converted people or won them over So this is kind of like not that big a deal

So here's the thing about that. I don't think converting people or winning them over is what really matters I think capcom wants to make a mass market fighting game and in street fighter So it's the absolute most mass market fighting game and it has a gigantic single player mode So they want a game that they can give a people a control scheme where they buy it And they go cool and they go through the single player content and they finish that and never play a single fucking online match ever And go cool. I really liked street fighter six. I had a lot of fun with it Yeah, the uh tech end story mode having the trigger to to have your different mash com auto combos Um expands upon you know the the the possibilities and then again king of fighters

We saw them doing the same like mash the buttons to get your different enders for your super um I think it's nice when you can integrate the two together persona did a pretty good job of that um marvel versus capcom infinite not so much but persona is probably the best example Hey, I play persona, but I don't play fighting games and I want to play The next part of the persona for storyline Well the auto combo shit means that I can Model my fucking way through the story mode and on a functional level the auto combos are unique

Buttons that don't exist on the like button on the arcade stick anywhere else So you could actually use them competitively for a specific purpose dragon ball does the same thing um So here yeah, it looks like that's going to be the case, but I think you're going to actually run into an issue where um Some people that are going to want to start with the the easy operation mode are going to find that At a certain point they're going to be somewhat gimped because um, oh a hundred percent Like besides the fact that you're you know restricted on um your combos and stuff like that

You're all you're restricted in your button layout because it looks like you have three attack buttons strong medium heavy Sorry, it's light medium heavy and it's going to probably merge punches and kicks together Right a hundred percent. It's like playing street fighter two on the genesis. Yep So you're going to have a character that's going to be like, you know, at some point Perhaps you're going to be like, oh, I want to do better things. Maybe I should switch over to the classic mode um, if there is a nice uh Carpet rolled out for you to kind of like ease you over and try that out that'd be cool if it's worked into the system

I believe it's called the world tour mode if if the world tour mode does its job, right? um and and then The other thought which is looking at world tour which world tour back in alpha three. That was good shit um Seeing you walk around the third person in a fighting game not the first time shout outs to tech and force mode Shout outs to combat whatever adventure Uh shout outs to a virtual quest. We've seen that all done before as well. Could be interesting could be bland

It depends on how populated and living the world is depends on how much there is to do if it's an hour of if they took um the Street fighter five story mode and just made it like now you walk to the next cutscene that's going to suck That's not going to be interesting. Yeah. No, there there is absolutely a per like a perfect existing Uh template for this and it's the moral combat uh six conquest mode conquest Where you moved a little man around and went on a whole fucking journey But even if you do that moving the man around can't just be a little four hour thing and then you're done because that's not going to help Get that single player appeal. They're looking. No, and here's the thing, right? So

Uh, they show in the trailer in world tour you're fighting some dickhead In a in a and you're wearing a hoodie and it's like right. Yeah, but you're like some dude Yeah, which means that okay, you'll be fighting a bunch of some dudes And it means that the cast will be the boss fights of that game Yep, also you learn to show you can and you used it in the overworld So you can probably then go in customize your move set if we end up with a deaf jam fight for new york style You know set your moves up and whatnot. No, I don't think I don't think that's how it's going to work I think what's going to happen is you're going to pick your creative character and make them and then go

Your creative character fights like blonka Maybe right that's the soul caliber's answer to the situation and by doing that Soul caliber allows you to then play your goofy ass looking character in an online environment and not worry about the the balance, right? Yeah, but if they didn't do that if they wanted to allow you to customize their moves and make a Full-on like I said fight for new york or or a me fighter or you know any of that shit um That can work in one context and I can see it being The way they go if you want to keep single player people around

And if you want to have the problem of people putting the game down after fighting arcade mode story mode One or two matches online getting beaten then being like fuck this. I'm not interested anymore You can go into a custom character that levels up gets stronger with all the bullshit items fucking dress up charms gems Whatever and furthermore you can have them fight against other people's custom characters online But you only fight against those other customs in that mode not real people And then the other mode with the rest of the roster is over here and there's a distinct Online for for world tour and online for the regular for the rest of the I don't think that's gonna happen I think they're gonna do the soul caliber one

It just seems so much easier But at the same time they don't show us what that that world tour of fighting actually looks like personally Well nice when I see world tour My brain goes I want this shit to play like world tour that mode fucking ruled because every fight you did in that was bullshit It was stupid shit. You want to fight four phalongs in a row with half health? You want to have infinitely regenerating help but go through 12 chunlies? Stupid stupid shit if it does end up being dress up, right then you're gonna um Like the level of dress up you see on tech end characters is is

Insane extreme as well, right? So both soul caliber and tech and our representative of like maximum customization That will work, but it probably would not hold As many people's interest as the sense of progression from Having their character get the latest whatever gem and load out shit Well, that's the thing in world tour you are equipping your character with buffs Oh, and but but to then use that in an online environment against someone else's character with buffs essentially, I don't I don't think Netherrealm has been trying very hard to get that working for the last couple games They really wanted, you know

So variations was a thing and then they wanted the like other Customization to be a part of your thing But like the competitively people are like dude We just want these three that we can use because the rest of this is just getting it gets crazy and wild when you're micro Editing move by move And then the armor and equipment and injustice same kind of idea so They showed off like what not to do with that feature

And and I think as but I think like the main The main thing is just like if you just separate it and the only thing you fight are wildly Customized people just complain nonsense Then you create a reason for that single player Who's looking to keep playing to come back for months and months and months, right? They're going to fight somebody who's way crazy op because they've got the fucking unstoppable fucking fist of gokin on their character and Oh, shit. That just feels busted. How do I get that?

You can then just you know have a nice little for fun mode of wild unbalanced dress up And then the the main thing is still there, you know I legitimately believe that That it's it's going to not only not be this but it'll be the opposite of this I think the character that they show off in the world tour mode as Man with a hoodie covering his whole head is the character And you'll be able to pick fighting styles, but like

I don't know. I can't see this this online custom creator The bluff thing it just it just it just it depends on how hard they go on that, you know I mean people coming away from that feeling the way they do with a dark souls pvp experience Would be A proportion of freaks play dart those games for pvp Certainly certainly, but I just all I'm saying is that like if they're trying to figure out how to reinvent this genre And fix this problem and but I know all the shit we talk about all the time And you want to lean into other genres and do kind of what they're doing with stuff

Giving yeah, like like giving people a place to to go nuts with that style of gameplay Would be one potential solution I would say that the big solution is they need to so they they're clearly going to have a big online push Because they we see like we see the largest stadium fucking Wander around it menu In fighting games to date. You just get a tiny piece of it Um, it needs to be like stripes floors the floor system is a better system than ranked

Yes Floors are good floors are good until floor 10 Floors work Excellently floors nine and down right more floors and floors. Let's say it's 20 And and floors 15 to 20. No, no, but but the wire the baby input floors have a problem when you hit a high enough Thing where it it it it falls apart um If you can still queue for a normal ranked match that would be

Ideal and then if you have the ability to go down to Like beginner layers and sort of like choose where you want your point of entry that would help new players a lot But the there should still be a overall rank me in Check my elode whatever the fuck and put me up against the next person Who's at my approximate skill level because I would I would agree that the absolute most important thing is getting into matches as quickly as possible The strive problem with the floors is that it feels amazing up until you get to 10 And then it flattens into nonsense And then from that nonsense you are in a room with people whose skill levels are like

Like literally the difference between like someone who's like first week on the game And they versus someone who's like ranking In in top 32 on a regular basis And it it has no consistency to it. And then of course you've got the the the the exam which People can find ways to fucking exploit the exam. You think they can pick out certain matchups and go I don't want to ever fight this character I'm only going to go through the exams by targeting this type of opponent

And then they do that and then they get and then you know, and then once you're in celestial You're now again, you're in this giant clusterfuck, but it doesn't actually accurately represent where your skill level is once you hit that Like proficient level So the floor design Like i'm telling you man, like it really works for the beginning and it fucking falls apart to the point where So most people then just They hit the park

So would you just say like just your standard? Just like feed me into ranked because my issue with with that with sf5 is that my time between matches became like Multiple minutes Even after like a couple hours of play Like it was it would be like i'm trying to find somebody for you to fight That's a similar level and i'm sitting there waiting for like five six seven eight minutes per match that doesn't rematch You can either have

a normal ranked system that begins at floor 10 or you can um Create tons of floors But tons of floors even if you expand it to a hundred floors It's still not going to avoid the problem of especially if you put exams along the way

It's not going to avoid the problem of people sniping their matches, right? It's not going to avoid the problem of of You know and then and and like of course you're you're going to have flattened out layers wherever there's an exam So you need a way to avoid that entirely to make it legitimate, right? You need to have a mode where you can have a blind double a double blind match That is uh based on you being approximately similar estimated ranking of somebody and um I don't mind if that ends up being gated behind a short journey up the floors so that the new players can still feel something I I would good about where they want to land

Or you can separate it and have it be like ranking is ranking But like you can go you can pick a journey up until that default point um, but just recognizing that new players benefit from floors and um intermediates Really fucking don't so why not just do floors for the babies and then once you hit the top of the floor Instead of having the celestial thing just have regular fucking matchmaking if that works. I'm okay with that I'm okay with that. Um, you know people that Make it up those people that are like decent will get through them in two seconds and it won't be a big deal at all But essentially it's like you're you're you're like training online

Um Yeah, so like I mean take me for example, right as as many people Are pointing out correctly right now that I shouldn't even be allowed to talk about fighting games because I suck so much shit However, I was able to get to the fucking top floor within like a week Because I remember how to play fighting games at a base level at a base level you don't get there at exactly and you get there At your own speed, right? Um, and then there's the lockout so that you can't go further back down depending on where your skill is displayed But the first couple I think you can if you hit so if you're up to level three

I think you might be able to go back down or whatever But yeah a hybrid system can definitely work here as but the but the floor 10 that exists where the system just continues It flattens everything out is trash Um, and if you hit floor 10 and then you get to now just queue up double blind normal ranked We're all good. We're all good so I think the obvious so I mean we haven't mentioned it yet, but like man I will I will cry tears of piss

If they somehow fuck up the netcode again I haven't said the word rollback once talking about this game And I kind of don't want to because I want to just I want to just live in a world Yeah, I don't want to talk about rollback at all in regards to Street Fighter 6 because I just want to live in a world where You'd be fucking insane to release it without functional rollback end of story Moving on because there's there's two versions where it's like it's it works as expected And uh, we go yeah, it works and that's literally the entire conversation Or it does not work as expected in which the entire conversation is I can't fucking believe it

You know, well you're right like that's that's where I'm at on it is it's just like oh cool works great or it doesn't are you serious? Wow We are we are we are drowning in choices choice examples of really good fucking implementation I don't even want to talk about it with this game. Just unless it's like When people complain about the netcode whoever's the director goes well, we've made a huge single player mode for you Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah Um, they always and then herrata retweets it and goes we're bringing one to Tekken too shut up They always do it proprietary so they definitely don't reach out and do ggpo But they showed that mvcis has a working version of it. So fucking just do that and leave us alone. All right. Let's do that

Okay, great. Um So yeah, uh, that's what we're kind of seeing overall for now um The other feature being uh, real-time commentary, which is goddamn hilarious and quite very funny I said it when I put up my initial impressions, but it's like This feature lives and dies on the yipe's dlc end of story If you do not have a pack made

Which is yipe's hype You're fucking you're fucking up and furthermore once it comes to pc modders are just gonna do it anyway So talk to him And if he's on board pay the man for the yipe's hype pack that'll just be the winning fucking pick from now on shit woolly There's so much fucking audio of us If somebody wanted to they could easily make fucking dlc packs of us as the announcer There are literally tournaments. I have commented with

Exact street fighter commentary quips available for use in archive on the internet everywhere. Yes, that is entirely possible Also, I should note if you want to talk monetization or whatever like dota Fucking sells like a shit zillion fucking announcer packs Do you want fucking adam jensen or fucking rick and morty to announce your goddamn match? Oh, but that's just the countdowns and stuff, right? Ah, it's it's the kill stuff. It's the that whatever so it'd be more expensive yeah, no this is more way more in depth because it's the live play-by-play and um

That shit is actually like all kidding aside If it helps people think about and learn about things they didn't know about fighting games That'd be fucking incredible, right? So what I want what I want is is the the final character in english Is the alpha 3 guy Let's come back Yeah, and just is scouting his goddamn nonsense about size and strength You teched that throw, but can you tech?

your heart What That's making any fucking sense. Yeah, or the cvs2 guy really. Yeah. Yeah sneak sneak attack at the start of a second round What's up with that? um yada garasu did bring out the announcers early and first um That there was definitely a couple examples of this but in terms of like intelligent play-by-play that says Oh, you're at the range where this usually works

And you know he needs to watch out for that. Oh shit spd range. Be careful sticking out a button might get you thrown That's Legitimately helpful. Hey the the japanese announcer nuki. That's his name, right? Is he the guy fucking losing his mind over those old third strike videos? No, that's kokujin um nuki's a classic commentator for for Japanese tournaments. It's kokujin is the one that you want though. You want the

And then and freaking out and laughing at the at the yeah, that's you know, the the makoto touch of deaths and shit like that You want the uh Ah You know like how about it doesn't not yeah, just he goes it like you're thinking kokujin. That's that's good shit um But nuki gets mad hype though as well um

You go back to the classics and and and uh, yeah, there's nothing about and also they're gonna do it in 23 languages apparently, right? Oh, is that like that's what I saw. Yeah, I saw that they they they showed off english and and japanese But they also said there'll be support for 23 total announcers From a wide variety of languages Which will definitely have a a really interesting feeling of i'm gonna Oh subtitled to 13 Okay, because I wanted to like slap it into polish and be like, I don't know what he's saying But he seems very excited

I mean that'd be incredible to reach out to the communities in every fucking area and get people on board for that That'd be really sick, you know get ken bogard for france and and there's definitely local celebrities in in each uh each scene But yeah subtitled then a little fine. That's fine um But no, please make sure you have fun with it Please make sure you do things like get get people like yipes get involved You know get chris matrix get the whole crew get li chung um

Gascinated to see how much voice is in these things If they're trying to emulate watching a broadcast it would have to be fairly constant, right? um Talk about the life lead talk about the spacing talk about the meter never play those old wwf attitude games Stone cold how how busted that fucking commentary was stone cold lands a stutter on Dilo brown Oh my god I can't believe it

This guy really got hit Wow What a pin Can they check can they can they have the no commentary option be like dav lang's ghost? And it's just silent out of respect I I really I just want to make sure that they have it programmed in that like when you do anything resembling a guinegian There is a pre-programmed a a a for each hit and then you fuck up and it goes oh

You know like you could have we were we were we were fucking like like laughing about it on the clip But it says like you can literally have a commentator that is just FGC hype You're right. Yeah, where like people are just it's just a crowd popping off to everything you do If you if you hit an ex move, it's just like undetermined screaming Every once in a while You know that's somebody's getting Like just just have fun with one of those packs, man

Sell it. It'll make a million dollars on fucking dlc I that's how you take this feature to the next level lean in So we're talking about all this stuff with the Street Fighter 6 and the thing that stands out the most to me Is that I remember talking to you about Street Fighter 5 long ago on the podcast and it was like just get it out The core fighting is good All the extra features don't matter I said that out loud And I'm a big enough man to understand

That that was an absolutely fucking brain dead position To everyone on the planet Other than the psychos who are crazy about Street Fighter Just brain dead bad launch they hated it didn't work out um And now We're looking at Street Fighter 6 and it's like it's a fucking starting roster of like 24 or something like that. We don't know if that's the starting roster, but I certainly hope it is. I assume it is

Hey, look, there's a gigantic super huge single player campaign. There's the announcing mode There's baby controls for new players, etc Yeah, I mean, you know What does somebody who isn't getting like Dozens and dozens of hours of gameplay out of online only Going to enjoy right like literally hundreds of hours to be extracted from just playing ranked matches is

Is there for those who are You know down to go down that road, but for those who aren't What is there? What's interesting? Is it a basic bitch do five combos and call it a day? you know a challenge mode or or What you know and so like it seems like the intention with this trailer, especially being 50 percent not

Game not fighting games not fighting You know seems to be like hey guys We are really trying to give you a reason to play this even if you're not looking for The full competitive experience, which again, I understand, you know, it's it's a it's a whole new fucking world Street Fighter represents the premiere of what fighting games are usually when it comes out or it's supposed to underlined supposed to ArcSys has been handily taking that crown for quite a while now, but

when um street fighter decides to Uh give you a reason to pay attention to something that's not the pure fighting game part of it I Like a lot of veterans will look and go like okay, but And it's like if it can get new players to stick around It's worth it Right. So here's the big question

What is this game gonna cost? I Feel like since we are looking at an explosion of features This will be a regularly priced retail game. Yeah That may or may not Have a free version at launch or later that does not have any of the shit that we're talking about right now They clearly made five to be potentially free and never pulled the trigger on it Seems like they wanted the option to decide

At the last minute to do it or not Here As we just saw demonstrated with something like multiverses Uh, you know, this is gonna you we we've talked about why free is the answer, right? The the features are massive and inexpensive and there's a lot of them And it seems like it would be way too much of a package for them to just throw this All at you and say here we'll make money on the cosmetics I hope

That despite the fact that this looks like a full price game and and I would be very surprised to see that not be the case I hope someone internally is fighting that fight to con to convince them like That if you're going to go down this road Have a version that people can just jump in and play with the full roster, right? If you create a second version That is it's not the same as Having it fully free to play But I hope someone's having the conversation because nothing grows your numbers like that

end of story I can like I could see a version of the game in which No world tour If you if you want it for free You have your rotating cast of three characters of the full roster Buy whatever characters you like and it works like a free to play game And if you want to buy the world tour later if you want to buy this later you add it on to it Or you could just buy the fucking game as a game and just get all of it

The problem with releasing a secondary free to play version later Is that the hype explosion of like the brand new game Being spread via word of mouth is only going to happen once Right. Yeah, the the second version that's free to play that comes out a year or two later Does not get as Disgust as it does on launch when everybody's telling everyone to go get it Um some people and that the hype and the launch window has the most amount of Players thus you're getting the best

Uh matching towards people of your skill level and it's it's a big old crazy race Everyone's learning together. It's an exciting time. All of that fun stuff Keep if you have people excited to jump in during that window and they can Tell all their friends to go get it then too. It's a huge difference than the oh, yeah The game is already out and stuff and yeah, you know, but now the free version is here I guess I'll try I think the the ki model of releasing essentially The the full piece and the free

Smaller piece Like that would have to be day and day It would have to be and I think and I think the ki model was an interesting test bed considering there's like No, almost no examples of that beforehand, but I think you can do better now. I really do think you can if It's not likely to happen, but if capcom is willing to go that far Uh, they can create a game that exceeds What fighting games are like limited to in terms of popularity?

You know, they can break that cap and they can Appeal to a widespread audience of people that are legitimately like just down to play anything that's free because with a free to play version of street fighter 6 with with like, uh, uh easy operation controls Um, you are opening it up to like Like hundreds of thousands of fucking scrubs that'll flood your fucking ranked That's good. You want that? and as much as it's not like It it shouldn't have as much weight as it does on the argument

But it matters that when you say street fighter is free That's different from saying that our alive six is free. Yeah, it's still it still has the the cultural cache of the fighting game It matters. It just it it does matter. Um Now we talked a lot about why multiverse. This is probably going to be a fucking hit Based on the fact that it's it's well, it's brand new, but it's got all that like crazy. Recognit brand Oh, man recognition and you see fucking nick They added voice acting and items today

Like jesus christ guys Yeah, that's way too late Multiverses is coming for that brawl hall of money. They're coming for that that like casual audience. They're coming for the smash scene Um, they're coming for young kids that just want to play with their friends and can't really afford anything else Don't have a credit card. They're coming. It's it's it's it's gonna be a thing. Um If capcom, you know wanted to to like go down that road they could and they could find themselves like Enjoying popularity for the from the street fighter for years And the thing with that is once you have that type of free-to-play audience

You then have street fighter 6 as like a platform, which is kind of what they always want You know, yeah, which is like a lot of these free-to-play games that get popular They don't they don't even need the sequel. They can just be a platform From that point forward, you know um It seems immensely unlikely, but god damn it what I love to see it just because it would very positively Affect the health of the genre more than any other thing could Make it free you pussies. Yeah

Um, but that's you know, that's that's the bit that's feel I feel like this is the the follow-up where in like three weeks I get a a message from a little birdie that tells me not only a street fighter 6 not gonna be free It's gonna cost 200 dollars Yeah And in the meantime, that's all we can say for now until like, you know actual game feel is is a thing certainly um I hope um We don't have any major technical hiccups. I hope we don't have you know input lag is now a fucking

perm a thing because of the way you know PC and and and well Yeah, whatever use it to hide latency Yeah, but uh, all right Yeah, I don't know. I don't know the re engine will you know, we'll have to say Hey, I'll tell you what as somebody who has a lot of experience running the resident evil It's sorry the re reached for the moon engine

Uh engine on pc yo that engine fucking sings man Has there been it pc to Optimized has there been pc to console comparisons on on things like lag testing and such for it I don't know you'd have to I mean I could give you my personal experience with lag testing Monster hunter rise on the switch versus the pc Yeah, that's not really fair because one runs at 29 frames a second and the other runs at whatever you fucking want It eat like my shit easily crushes 144 on that

Because probably it's in the hundreds unreal has baked in lag that every that we're gonna deal with on any fighting game using unreal But um, I need to basically someone would need to test a like, you know, like a ps5 re game with a dmc Um Yeah, okay So like, uh, what's the yeah, I guess it would be like what's the lag right like we'll just Fucking I'll just ask hitchhiker right now. He would know

We might get an answer before the fucking end of the park And if and have they optimized it since right? Because that is a huge problem on Uh, literally every fighting game right now. Um, everything fucking, uh, strive and and and uh, kof and You know, all these things are just like well Uh, the pc version doesn't have input lag, but it does feature more Weird freezes and hitching because it was not optimized properly and we Treated the pc as a secondary thought

So what do you want smooth play but input lag or Um, occasional freezes and no lag, you know kof The jump in optimization from monster hunter world to rise on the personal computer is absolutely hilarious Hmm monster hunter world is one of the shittiest performing pc games. I have ever played And then you play rise which isn't quite as advanced graphically And it's one of the best I've ever played in terms of performance It's it's fucking nuts to the point

Where I would not be surprised if sf6 on On pc runs the same if Or better than sf5 on pc interesting The other thing to compare two is we're gonna have a xbox version to look at as well for this time and I assume there will be the cross play Yeah If they're not stupid there will be If you want to keep that player base healthy, they had cross play. Why would they not have the cross play?

Well, the moment fighter. Yeah, well, maybe microsoft's coming in but then fucking power rangers can figure it out and you can't Come on. Yeah. No. Yeah. No, it'll have the cross. They don't come on. It'll have to cross play. That'd be ridiculous. So Yep, and also cross play with your phone street six on your phone I mean when we looked at those simplified controls reggie pulls his phone out and is just like Are we we doing this or what? Yeah, yeah anyways, um

Huh June 3rd the evo twitter account posts Evo is grateful to share that we've been working with sony epic games and our developer partners To reduce input latency for many of your favorite fighting games. Please expect more updates to follow Oh Amen, amen Uh, anyway, anyway, hey, I need a break. I'm gonna piss myself. I'll be right back. Okay adult Makoto in our hearts we believe

Okay, so um Some breaking news looks like keyword studios has uh unionized with a unanimous vote Yay, who are they? Congrats to them. Um, so I didn't work there, but keywords is the Montreal QA studio that acquired the place that I did work at eventually. Oh really? Yeah, so Um, they kind of came along. They were originally like a localization team And then they started doing functionality and then eventually they bought out

A babel the old place that I used to be at. So, uh, yeah, they are pretty much like The major outsourcing beast at this point. I think they just acquired like all the other like there was there used to be like Vmc there used to be like volt Uh, the keywords and then there was babel and all these other places and uh, they just kind of came together and uh, yeah, looks like they're the as the premier outsourcing for um for uh Montreal they are now Unionized congratulations

Hard earned well done Good shit Um, looks like it's a yeah, it's it's the reporting on it right now some more details, but uh, it's happening Things are going down and fucking people are getting it done I'm I'm Uh Kind of amazed that like the traction is sticking You know this time because usually the busting efforts like work way too well and shut it all down, but uh

Looks like we're getting some some serious progress. That's that's awesome Um and uh Yeah, no and and and you can fucking Take it from a number of people who are like like reggie was there when it was Keywords and he can fucking tell you, you know, like they they need it man. So um Okay, so that's going down street fighter six

Uh, what else happened launch trailer for final fantasy 16 That is not a launch trailer That is not I don't know what fucking sit Excuse me this uh bad text final fantasy 16 launches, uh 2023 summer Uh trailer introduces new story and gameplay details. Sorry stupid. Um Yeah, so I guess it was kind of established a little bit beforehand if you were looking But uh, I didn't really pick up on the detail that like

Basically, everyone's got their summons as a titan And it's all about these characters that are essentially just the the titan summons the dominance. Yeah And the lyrics of the song are singing their voices singing the names out as you're watching them fight Yeah, and then as the fight is going down you're seeing like two fucking top life bars Appear like yeah, and I'm like, oh, okay. That's a very fighting game looking life bar system going on there so like Are we just gonna have a like detailed kaiju combat system for controlling big

Probably big summons Um What game does gigantic scale fighting really well and feels really good while doing it Rocket knight adventures for the genesis Okay, that's a good that's a good pull um How many because I feel definitely not many yeah, I feel like You know either games will bring it in and have it be very limited. You know, it'll be like a qte

type of system Like going on when you jump in in the in the robot. It's like pretty fucking limited on on what you do there People in the chat are saying titanfall so yeah, um wonderful 101 has a pretty cool one um, it essentially just kind of

Zooms out and makes it feel like it you're on foot again But like it slows it down a little bit um bayonetta It feels less Full control it feels more like yeah, it just feels like a like a fancy visual to go along with your regular stuff So i'm not talking about that i'm talking about a game where you're at scale and you Use the stick to really walk around and do like and you have a lot of full control

Um, yeah, I could I cannot think of much. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm You for that brief segment where you control rex and mgs4 it feels like you have options You have like three things you can do besides walking around. So I wouldn't throw that on the list I don't know. I don't know hmm God of war Naruto Naruto. Yeah, you know what the big forms in Naruto give you really decent control I have to say

As when I went through the rest of that story and went through the ultimate ninja storms the control of the big beasts Was like it was all right Definitely definitely uh more fleshed out than I would have expected for like cutscene beasts, you know um, yeah Yeah Well, anyway

Uh, I think um I think the examples i'm thinking of like when you I see like zone of the enders and like metal wolf chaos But I'm thinking of games where you are on the ground and then you go into the thing As opposed to the games where it's like all that, you know, where you're like as opposed to j. Hootie the whole time For example, you know, it's silly because like it's such a minor part of that trailer There's two things that leapt out at me one of which is that it's a there's a lot of gameplay in that f of 16 trailer And if you didn't know that the dmc 5 battle planner is running this don't worry. Here's here's Here's your character throwing down revolver. Mm-hmm as a fucking move against something

And the other thing that I thought was a cute little detail and I was sure that everyone had seen it before me But you see all these shots of ifrit going nuts and being a problem with the moon behind him Mm-hmm, and then you see cutscenes which are assuredly from the beginning of the game with a big old shot of the moon But there's instead of nothing. There is a tiny little smaller red moon next to it Mm-hmm, and I'm like, oh, that's a cute little That's a cute little thing they're gonna do they're gonna have the red moon crash into the setting again And it's gonna be ifrit this time Oh, okay. I didn't pick up on on that

um Because it's the final fantasy 14 idiots. I see it sex protagonist fucks confirmed That's right Setting off a chain reaction of people talking about various protagonists of each ff game and whether or not they fuck There's only three squaring x characters that I can think of that have canonically fucked cloud and tifa

Faye and ellie and now these two Okay, but like people are asking about it. Not in a literal in plot fuck, but like Do they have the energy of a person who knows what sex is? you know I think that's that's that's the uh Okay clown the clown clown clown does it Ah

Oh fucking god damn it. Yeah so Cloud sacks doing it for you No, it's just like that's that's a Freudian slip of like that's what I look that's what I see when I look at cloud clown Cloud is a clown. Yeah, he's a fucking dumbass I Mean I'll tell you one thing

Kefka absolutely positively fucks Yeah, but the question is whether or not it's like a mailbox or a hole in the ground. Yeah Or himself for that matter. Yeah me Oh, yes, Kefka's the kind of guy to just rut on top of a mirror Ha ha ha ha God Emperor clown absolutely fuck Uh, yeah, no, just just kind of hole in it and just go all in on the mirror. Absolutely. Um

Forced the guards and cultists to watch I um Yeah, no protagonists getting up and actually having having one of them scenes. Hey, hold on a minute Does anywhere in the yakuza series is there a scene like that? Is there a is there a Protagonist getting out of bed moment Ever protagonist no Because I'm like some expanding beyond curio

It's implied that in yakuza 2 Like they make maybe make out or she spends the night, but they definitely don't have sex um and in five it it hits the absolute absurdity Of curio has a woman a little younger than him who lives with him Who they are not romantically involved even though she's like pretending to be his wife. It's very weird It's um, okay though yagami

mentions that like One of the characters is like his ex-girlfriend. Okay, they used to go out Because some games settings like You just get used to them functioning without sex being a thing in that world Um yakuza is fucking bonkers insane bizarre if that's a setting without sex in it Because it's like from in because there's two yakuza's right There's the there's the fucking cut scene with the budget and then there's everything else and and in Uh

In the cut scene Shit, there's only one character that is even protagonist adjacent That has ever even known what sex is at all. Okay, and it's haruka because she has a baby. Okay Right. She has a boyfriend And they they have an ill they have a kid, right? However On the other side of things You're in a public park Teaching a dominatrix how to fucking neg people while a bunch of school children go

Exactly, but none of those characters the teacher you the the the dom teacher lady all of them None of them have had sex You know in in in minigame world. Yeah Uh, anyway Majima was married Um And he was married to a pretty lady. So I'm gonna assume they had sex So in 16 here now, um, we've got we've got sex confirmed

and and and That's exciting Yeah, I I it's it's Weird to say but it's like I'm Most excited about what combat is gonna look like Yeah, you know for this personally, I think for the story's tone I think having some dickhead old man going we could just breed new citizens and rebuild their houses

Is about as perfectly on point as you can get Of like so what you just build a new one. They're just peasants. It's great great um And yeah, everything is pretty and and fancy and and very very ff um What uh

Kind of a dream team on it. They finally came out and was like Here's everybody that's working on it. You may recognize some of these names as people who've worked on Fauna fancy tactics fauna fancy 12 fauna fancy 14 Fagrin story I hope that they kind of it's not they're probably not tactics ogre The tactics ogre guy designs the character like it's it's the fucking it's the gang It would be nice if they kind of just put out the game and let it be like a really good game And and it was not like part of a massive

Like the ff6 universe with its side animes and you know, no No, what really know what you're whole thing I'm telling you what you're gonna see right now is um You're gonna see a situation There's a stupid little meme going around Which is the the shitty photoshop of Yoshi p walking up to an empty desk and like begging for an ff14 collaboration And then putting the paper down and then walking to the other side of the desk

And going yeah, okay Yeah, okay. Yeah, all right. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. So that's gonna happen for sure But the you know the massive multimedia project the universe for you know any of these things that you announced before the game is actually out is like I think just get a good one on the board that everyone fucking loves and Once it's a once it's a hit Start looking at how to expand if you want to but there's only one part of this that I'm like, oh, no

Which I saw this and it's like it'll be releasing in summer of next year And I'm like, oh cool patch 6.3 or 6.4 is gonna fucking suck ass Because they're all gonna be tired Oh, no I hope point two and point three are really good Um Yeah, so That's about it. Not much else there, you know

Cass looks pretty interesting Big angry man Seems cool that big angry man is gonna be titan because he looks like titan. He looks like titan The lady that looked like an elf will probably be the shiva because she looked like an elf That being said it there's one little moment and that which to me Summs up that they're putting they're bringing in that devil may cry energy To follow fantasy in the in the stupid way that I really appreciate um, which is

uh, fucking odin zen tetsuking a Bahamut mega flare in half to ride through it. That's that's hype Which is like, oh, okay. You're gonna see the summons doing all their stupid summons shit and combining it Yeah, always always the makes you know that that makes perfect sense that odin the Norse god of thunder does a zen tetsuken Uh, yeah 100% yeah Oh removes right there were ramas right there. Not right in

My jews. Oh, japanese god of thunder, but odin specific. Yeah, don't worry. No, okay. Well Um, and then uh, they revealed re4 Again, yeah With I remember when they revealed that shit like 25 years ago, but I don't think that's what you're talking about But then they did it with the fucking they had the little, um troubadour like Yeah, so spanish guitar is an obvious Uh, uh

Place to go with a game that takes place in europe In europe Yeah, but you know You know So, uh, there's a lot there's a lot in the uh, Resident evil 4 remake trailer which by the way, they're just calling resident evil 4 Which is gonna get super fun in a little bit. He's got a new face I'm going to uh be referencing

Susie the severe hunters video on a lot of it because you did a really great deep dive on a lot of the details Um, there's a lot in the basic gist of it There's a lot in this trailer that shows off that they are going back and using older stuff From versions of re4 that never came out So like the way leon's jacket is actually really big and bulky And the look of ashley's new design in general are like from the hook man stuff The game's color palette has expanded Because re4 is great at a lot of things

But what it's not great at is having more than a single color in any particular zone In which it's it's kind of brown and then it's kind of brown on rocks and then it's gray If the game has The exact map of re4 and the same enemies in the same places And now they look better And oh, that's that's not gonna be what it what it is at all Like would that be considered a success? No, absolutely not okay not after resident evil 2 because resident evil 2 was this is

This is very obviously based off of that old layout and all these old tricks But it remixed them in a bunch of fantastic ways and made a bunch of cool new shit Uh in the stuff they put out though The re4 thing it it took painstaking detail in those Eclipse that hey, do you remember this building? That entire like that indeed that you can see a shot of the the starting village area where everybody attacks you And the layout is one-to-one Which is why I asked that because i'm looking at it and I recognized that village and i'm like

Oh, yeah, then you go up into the top and then the ladder gets placed up and you fight on the second floor up there I remember that but You look at the house that he walks up to which is the first house and that layout is not one-to-one The house is too large and the window is on the wrong side of the house Ah And then you look at something like you look at mendez who was the big cheese Who uh in the original he was wearing a big green trench coat He was a bald guy because he was supposed to evoke like mr. X

And now in the trailer you can see that he is in fact still a Wearing a green trench coat and he's a big bald guy But now much like mr. X in two he is wearing a hat Because he is he is a he is An evolution not of original mr. X, but of resident evil twos mr. X Okay, so some more deliberate connections are going to be made Yeah, to the new ones. Okay So I I fully believe that equals power

Kind of I fully believe that what you're going to see is a version of the game that it Because the re3 guys are supposed to make this and then they got pulled off of it for the re2 guys to do it And to me that says that the game will not cut anything and will in fact probably expand On things Okay, like resident evil twos remake it did cut a couple things, but it also massively expanded say the sewer area Uh, will you beat re2 as leon the sewer area in resident evil two originally is literally five rooms okay In re2 remake it's like a third of the game

Yeah, fucking up three is way Less bad than fucking up four. Um, yeah in terms of impact. So I would love to see and I know this is probably going to be the last thing on their minds in promotional material But show me what happens when you press start Show me an attache case. Show me what that looks like. Oh that would come on that'll assuredly be there And I also would like to see um, not just All the expected amazing reloads, but let's get some variants in there

Let's get like two or three fucking sick reload animations I would not I would not be surprised right the the trailer was very carefully put together Of things that people would want to see there's a there's a shot specifically Where lewis is holding the red nine and like the whole screen is just focused on the red nine God, yeah And it's like yeah, okay There's a shot of leon lying in that little boat over the delago The only thing the only thing tighter than a fucking

You know the the the original reloads being in and being good is just a couple of Extra tight reloads for multiple go for the same gun You know just just the art of reloading redefine it I think it's going to be more serious but I can't I don't think they can possibly get rid of

The camp I think I think the stuff that happens in reasonable four is so absurd That if they play if they try and play some of that shit straight, it's actually going to come off as being more camp Ashley as a whole is like that's the big question. It's just like how's she gonna act You know, she has more gameplay Uh than she used to the in the beginning of the trailer You can see that she'll be playable and it looks like that'll actually be pre leon expanding her segments out a bit. Okay. Yeah, okay But it's not like uh, it's

Well, anyway, it's not it's not the same as like a side a side b bit with you know The original with two and no, it's it's the same way a lot of the earlier games did where it's like Here's a little side story is the character in the middle and re4 had that anyway Uh, yeah Well, vertigo is gonna be great Oh, the voice acting is all gonna be fucking. Yeah, like new and also. Yeah, the voice acting is all now done by the the motion actors Right, so it's the same guy as leon for example as from re2 Expanded salvador sequences

There's already a ton of them in the original game Well, there's like four of those sequences Yeah, so, um And and I remember to weren't we talking so I didn't play village right but like we're I remember when village was released We're talking about like Um, it's good that way that being set up like our village being like Like training wheels for redoing for You know

It feel village very much feels like the re4 we never got I I've I've sneaking suspicions that it's literally the re4 we never got um, but Yeah, really the more the thing but res evil 2 remake is the training for the re4 remake Making yeah, I guess like how to do How to do new things and not fucking ruin it essentially like like the the most important thing for me to see right now Is I want to see uh 90 seconds of gameplay

I need you to show me shooting a ganado in the face And then walking up to them and hitting the a button Like I need I that that like Vital and also I need to see how the character moves Right, of course, they're going to move like a regular ass modern video game But I still need to see like how they actually move I mean like are we going to see a melee button? But like would they

Would it be I guess because it's like within with the way it feels to play two and three Would it be more about sticking to that or would it be more about Taking that and making it no no you get you get your laser dot and you're an action man in re4. Okay So They're like I've played enough re4 to let me tell you if you fucking stand there and try and like let the fucking Credical close in for good shots. You're gonna die in like two seconds. It's way too aggressive Which again unless they unless sequences are remixed for that type of play, but you know No way that that would be that's not a nostalgia

Change Um like I think it is much more likely that there's a kick button on the control scheme like that mercenary shit Yeah, yeah Um, and then they showed off a couple other things as well. So in the same vein We got a gameplay reveal for calisto protocol because up until that point it was just the the cutscene And so first of all not in the pubg universe any longer. No, it is now its own thing completely separate and um I mean I still have yet to play dead space, but

That looks it's that that seems to be when I was uh when I was watching it I was like this might be the strongest version of we don't have the license But we're just gonna make the game anyway. I've ever seen in my life Compared to evil within Yeah, way more like it is it is just dead space for Okay, just Very very bluntly Like the way it moves the way the guy's fucking

Uh the way the guy's uh health is on a icon on his back The way enemies animate Like it's it's it's just dead space. Yeah. Yeah guys. I'm I'm I'm gonna I said it I'm gonna play it. I'm kind of in the middle of elder ring and mass effect. I can stop if you'd like Those first two games are really good. I'm gonna stop. We can we can we can stop with the third one And switch right over to that space if you if you want to do that. No problem. Just let me know Uh anyway So, yeah, um seems uh, you know what probably better to not be tethered to the pub g universe

probably better to be able to just Uh create their own thing, huh? Yeah, to not to not have to be like To not have an item where you found the secret legendary tie of player unknown frying pan man and the secret legendary helmet The frying pan is that it Yeah, remember they tried to sue people for including frying pans in their games

And the judge was like it's a fucking frying pan Um In the meantime, I mean because that that would also put them in the same universe as among us and uh avana, so You know it would Uh, they're porting spider-man to pc That's surprising Without there being another one around the corner to push on playstation That is surprising. That's how they're doing it

They do a year where they're like look the old games coming to the pc and then two years later They're like look the new game is coming to the playstation and then two years later They go look the newer game is coming to the pc They're all they're all staggered And just like that, um Every single costume that's ever been made has now Been announced for spider-man pc as well as probably venom and carnage probably

Everything you could ever want out of spider-man universe Yep, go ahead confirmed Right life bam. Yeah Then there was a trailer for a roller drone, which looks fucking sick um Olly olly

doing um Essentially you skate up the ramp and you do the tony hawk like vert And then you aim and shoot and kill everything In midair and then land and keep skating Just like good old roller derby no changes Love it Uh art style is cool Roller drone is a name that evokes all the things you want, you know with uh, if I can

um Thunderdome and and and uh What the fuck was it called um Running man style Uh Battle sport death sport setting You know and and as our local uh death sport enthusiast, I feel like uh, this this would be right up your alley You know, it's weird. I would also think that but

For whatever reason it just didn't do it for me Hmm And as we all know I I I do love death sport but Is it because it was designed to be death sport as opposed to Death was introduced to the sport that was an originally a safe sport. Is that what it is? No, it's because I look at it and I'm like this just looks like a worse version of I shit you not the club Okay

A game that apparently I am the only person who know of its existence No, I'm sure you do as well. Oh, yeah, we talked that back in the day. We'd always fucking That was that was a james small classic Talking about the club um They showed off What else there was a season letter to the future which looks pretty can't tell what yeah looks interesting Wait to see what the narrative is on that seems to be a

Walk take pictures and do things might be cool um, and then it turnites which was Fancy looking Anime game with schmoovement and people are like, yeah, it looks it looks really good And and folks are like this seems Huh I'm getting vibes over here and then the creator puts a tweet out and it's like, hey, yeah

I played persona 5 and I really loved it and then I made this game. That's okay because that's like It's yeah No, like they straight up the creator was like I played p5 for the first time and I could I I fucking loved it And now I'm making a game 100 inspired by like not they're not they're not pretending. It's not that game has a button to hold hands Mm-hmm Man, I think that game looks like trash Let's uh, let's see what maybe I'm crazy

But I I want to see what what the combat looks like uh in application over a stage But the highlights of it looks stylish at points Um, I'm I'm I'm looking I want to see could be could be interesting. There's some motorcycle play and uh you know some some High octane-y things, but uh, yeah, I think it looks all right Also, yeah coming out and basically just being like yep, I love me some p5. It is what it is. That's the right way to do it It invented jazz, you know

Uh Yeah It's true black people didn't and by that I mean not Africans It's true Um So one other thing that happened and I hope this is not A non-story because it seems like it's it is but in the past

I've I've read things like this and then it's turned out to be some bullshit but The the the story here is Japan sets a new record brings world closer to internet 100,000 times faster than current speeds Because they were able to successfully Um use a uh petabit Data transfer at

Yeah, they were able to transfer data at one petabit using existing pipelines and using existing Uh fiber optics in japan um Well sucks for a rollback Yeah, it makes it even better over there Which means we have even leslie's reasons to care for sure is the thought but um, no What they're basically describing is that like, uh

You could in theory. Yeah, like what does that convert to a one petabit per second? Uh means um 10 million channels of 8k broadcasting per second um No laps whatsoever that means uh You could at trial what 1.02 petabits traveling 32 miles per second you could send 127 1,500, uh Uh, I mean yada yada it's fast internet and you don't need to hook up a baby into the chiral network

And they say that you could put it on existing systems, but don't worry. We'll never see it because fuck I mean at that point I think it's you can just go burn down bell and videotron when the world is moving 100,000 times faster With their better internet and we're stuck on bell and videotron. It's time to just burn them down Don't forget shawn. Tell us motherfucker I mean for america you got your comcast, right? That's your That's your your equivalent or whatever. Um Japan's actually potentially gonna get even better with their internet and and it's it's it's crazy. Um

That sounds like the hypothetical um Like internet of no No loading, you know in theory. I I would like to say I I read and reread this and I may be mistaken Okay, but the article may have made a slight The wording error because they describe it as faster But it actually seems like what they're describing is wider Because they're saying oh you can send this much more data

At the same like at the same at this at x speed, but they actually don't list the speed getting faster Because light is how fast shit goes on fiber optics Um one petabit per second is a Is a higher Transfer rate. Yeah, but you're sending more, right? Yes. Like I'm sending like a car instead of just a tire But fatter pipe. I think that I think the speed at which it gets there

Might actually be very similar because there's only So fast light can go I suppose but as an idiot trying to figure this out, I would assume that the end result means um, even though it's it's Just increasing the size of the transfer You're gonna get more of that data faster, which means less Yeah, but I'm specifically you're getting more packets on your end in terms of in terms of

In terms of like, uh, fucking movies and games and downloads. Yeah But and uploads but in terms of like peer to peer back and forth. I bet this would actually not Make that big of a difference But I could be mistaken Hmm bad with versus latency Uh Yeah, I I again I'm an idiot and I don't know but If things can get better

And they do everywhere but not here um I'm gonna be very upset We're not gonna get it. Don't worry about it Just don't worry about it See you're worrying about it. I can see you're worrying. I'm I'm yeah. No, see that's not that's your mistake. Just just give up I'm I'm thinking about that hypothetical again that end state where like the

Where everything is like a tv channel essentially where the process of Doing things just things just happen instantly, you know, that's definitely like A possibility within our lifetimes. I think we I think as long if you're working with existing Structures, it might be fucking sick to have a world where nothing loads. Everything just kind of happens That'd be cool That's nice It's nice it's nice to want it's nice to want things Videotron must burn

And you know what here's the hope though. You really if you really want to know what's what the hope is that uh The fucking isps in canada will join you in burning them down because they want their own shit as well The fact that canadian isps have to piggyback on these existing frameworks. Oh, it's a whole fucking thing They couldn't it's a whole thing. They will light the fucking gasoline You know spires themselves, man, they'll lead the charge really Uh, anyway, let's take some letters

Hey, uh, I'll be right back that dog needs to go outside So that'll give you plenty of time to load up some good letters. All right, if there are any good letters to have sure Hey, um So, yeah, uh, it didn't I didn't like Said throw sonic on there because like I don't have much to say I mean sonic sonic sonic showed off the combat in sonic frontiers and oh cool He like it shows some fighting with like some like enemies that also look kind of sterile-ish and Someone had a comment on it that was basically like hey, there's probably a bad idea to show off the

Game's elements separate from each other and then you have to imagine how the whole soup comes together as opposed to Showing us what the full thing looks like, you know, but that I'm like, eh not much to say about that really like So whatever, um That's that's that's about that with sonic. Let's take a look at um Some letters if you've got one Did you see the new street fighter six feature? As we're talking live something got announced literally just now

I sent you it on the thing You can now in the versus screen you can make a fucking face at your opponent like you shit your pants Show your attitude with the game face feature in street fighter six by pressing the directional buttons at the versus screen Scowls act smug or confuse them with a mixture of rapid emotions Uh, yeah, it's called soul caliber two I've got you Squirm scatter This is right. I know just kidding

Oh, just kidding is the worst. Oh, yeah It's literally just soul caliber two not yet So The damage done to my soul by fucking juan was fucking no escape terrible win clothes Does no one remember it's just this feature is soul caliber twos like that's it. That's all we're doing guys All right, well sure Wind Yeah, that's true

Yeah, all right, uh anyways if you got a letter you can send it To uh castle super beast mail at gmail.com What do we got? All right, here we go um Got one coming in from jay Who says internet of things cross retail hell Hello funny dreads guy and funny bald guy that lives in my phone um

It's me jay I've got a funny anecdote about the what happens when the internet of things meets fucking retail work I had a novel experience at my department store job um I compile people's mobile orders and get them ready for the card side staff to carry it out To the center scan them with a handheld weird machine and it runs on like android 1.0. It's weird and shitty um, but it's not really A bad job. It's weird and shitty sometimes, but it's not really a bad job

But last week the wi-fi at our store had a big dead spot right by the mobile order grocery fridge area This led to me standing there with a carton of eggs in my literal hands helpless because the device would not tell the store Where I put the eggs And it was bricked without steady wi-fi connections Eventually my boss hit me up on the walkie-talkie asking what was taking so long Which forced me to actually have to utter the phrase. Yeah, I can't put the eggs away The store iphone thing won't let me So imagine if you will my frustration when I was a broke-ass teen walking around my apartment complex with my phone

Looking for wi-fi strong enough to download ROMs Or some shit, uh combined with the pressure of family frozen retreated groceries are still there slowly thawing out And all I can do is shuffle around the store to a place with good wi-fi to finish putting in the orders of fucking frozen waffles Pat the red bar warriors are in your groceries You know, it's funny because I did the internet order a couple times and um The the rule that came down on that was the the nightmare for internet order for me Wasn't anything to do with the wi-fi was always substitutions. It's always like they want they want these eggs

We don't have these eggs and um I asked my boss, uh Or not my boss my co-worker who usually did it And I asked her. Hey, what do you what do you do when this thing? Uh, do you call them? And they she's like, no, you don't have fucking time. I just put fucking whatever in there It's eggs Who gives a shit?

And then you'd fucking send it off And they would call to complain And you'd put them on hold and just leave them there God damn dude Well, you don't have time yes to take that call Great system perfect I mean, I've done more than a couple times what I've done Fuckin internet orders and the replacement system is like

It you you select from the items list and do it yourself It doesn't have to go through explaining what you want or whatever But occasionally you do it'll be like, hey, there's nothing similar just type in what you want And there'd be a thing where like I'd order brussel sprouts, but for some reason the dumb like app would have Uh thing where it's like order a brussel sprout and then when you it gets to the door It is a single brussel sprout in a bag. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, could you like And I said, can you tell me to can you do it by the kilogram or what and like a lot of and sometimes, you know They'll be like, oh like what do you want like and it'll be like, oh, yeah

Give me a bag of like two kilograms or something or whatever But by default when you select when you say like give me brussel sprouts The only thing to do is manually put the exact number you want So it's like, okay. I guess I want 50 brussel sprouts then You know, please stand 50 of them I feel a lot of sympathy for this gentleman Uh or lady, I guess it didn't specify but, um

Having parts of that be automated Means that like your leeway On just getting it done has evaporated Right, um There was only one thing at the store That was like that, but it drove every cashier fucking crazy And it was really simple. Okay Well, you ever have minute made juice that you know, the frozen ones. Yep. Come in that can thing. Okay guy walks up

They're on sale. You bought 40, you know, you put them in a freezer last weeks, right? They're all the same price, but he grabbed them from all different flavors What do you do? You Scan the first one and type the number in Type in times 40 Whatever, right? No, no, no, no, no. Don't do that We need to know Which ones sold so we can restock so you're gonna need to scan each of them in manually

Yeah, dude, it's it's load like when that rule came down Like I swear to you know, everyone complains like oh the fucking cash is so slow It was like they removed someone from the store. Jesus It was like four caches became three Just from this one thing and everyone fucking hated it the customer hated it Like why do I need to pull it off? I'm just gonna take the car the car tap the fucking cashier hated it I fucking hated it because I would have to fucking pick the stupid shit up half the time for these Yeah, there's a couple things like that where if you get the group of items, but different flavors on each one. It's a different

I'm thinking of like the tuna cans when they'd have like different flavored tunas and it's like You could fucking go to there with like 20 different things and they're all the same price, but Yeah, well, okay You know, I just had I just had a flash from this moment that is Yeah, well, will you ever work retail or service or have you always been stuck in that office shithole? Never did retail

Because there are people out here that will empathize with this But I just it's a story I just feel like I need to tell Because it's so common and it's the angriest I ever got at work Yeah, well the thing that that you have that is well I mean the thing that it takes to be Like in those mode where the customer is always right no matter what's happening and you have to just swallow it I don't have that. I don't have that thing where I can just Eat shit. So I could I can't tell you

So that this is a perfect version of the story because most people don't have that Right because most people are human and the it's fucking bullshit. So You get a situation where you're working at a retail or service job in which uh, you're fucking maybe your tips are accounted for or Uh, you're fucking watched to make sure you don't accidentally Take a juice box to the back before paying Before paying for it and then just pay for it afterwards because you might steal some, you know Just complete fucking asshole anal retentive shit

And you get the customer that comes in and says I want this cheese for this price, you know, well, it's not And they go well The sign said it was and I go no it doesn't and they all show you and you walk over And sure enough they're like look 299. I'm like sir, that's for corn It's just it happens to be next to the item And they're like no, it's not I want it And just back and forth and until I want to see your manager All right, okay fine

You get the manager and she walks out And and they explain it and they turn to you and they say just fucking give it to them for a price. I don't give a shit And they just completely fucking throw you under the bus and now you're Yeah Shit oh and it's like like I should just and you do that a couple times and then you're like, you know what fuck it Just steal right in front of me like I give a shit Yeah, why bother? Mm-hmm

Mmm Oh, excuse me. I gotta let the wife in Uh Yeah, man all these every path is every path has got his fucking brutality But I feel as if like I kind of knew about myself early on that like I just I would not be um I would not be polite in bad circumstances

So I did whatever I could even at starting basic like even like when I did my basic first jobs like like The closest thing I guess I was doing like literally like door-to-door fucking sales at one point even but It wasn't a a like people walk in and then bring whatever with them from their day up to you type of attitude, you know, so um I dodged that as much as I could man I'm just thinking of like some fucking guy running out of the store with like bullshit that he's stealing My boss yells at me like stop him and I just turn and like shrugging up like no

I'm getting paid like 750 an hour like I'm gonna stop some guys steal like I give a shit There's bigger people who are paid to to go do that also Well, you see we didn't want to pay for security Because it's too expensive to staff a security guard all day So just yell at you to stop him Yeah, no all my shit was um Like

There's one asshole and that's usually your boss and you're gonna have to eat shit from them for as long as possible As opposed to variety variety assholes coming in off the street and it's like, you know what? It's I'll take that one because I can figure out how that asshole works And and not have to make a hard read on everybody walking in You know You know, there's a guy who worked at at uh at my place He was the head of the butcher's department. He's a good guy named frank. He's a really good guy And when nobody was around that was above him. He was the guy running things

And he was my favorite person in the world because when I get in a situation like that He was like six eight and he had a cauliflower ear Mm-hmm And they start getting up into his shit and he would just like get get the fuck out. I don't care leave Fucking leave Uh It's great and you go. Oh, thank goodness frank is here Yeah, no

Oh, I can't fucking imagine what it would feel like to be like well the fucking machine doesn't work Guess i'm gonna just be super late on every order I guess that's tomorrow's problem I mean like you like that's like there's a step along the way where it's like does your manager Uh see that and understand how stupid it all is and go yeah fair enough and then You know, they explain that going upwards or do they go Find a way to make it work or do they go like you should care enough about this despite the fact that you're not cared You're not paid enough to do security to suddenly switch to doing security if you want to be a team player

You know, you have to exceed expectations, right? Depends where you are So I got in a situation so much so they would tell me to do something that was impossible to finish by my shift Like they'll be like, hey, can you go downstairs and sort the recycling bottles and I go there are like a hundred thousand bottles down there Like it's going to take like five days to do that. Are you sure like you need to give me another guy? They're like, no, just do it and I would I would Go to I would be leaving and they were like, did you finish it? I'm like, no They're like, well, you need to get back down there and I went no, I don't and I would punch out and then as soon as the fucking

Machine would click The union rules would kick into place, which means they get to they get to fuck off And it becomes tomorrow's problem. However, if you're working somewhere that doesn't have a union. Yep. Fuck. Yep That's where again the the slow walk over to the whiteboard uh, take your names tag off of it And very very very slowly drop it in the bucket of names that are not getting called for the next day You know, yeah, so anyway, um

That's some shit All right, uh let's see Here we go. We got one coming in here from pepper says dear beef men Spouse and I have had our five-year anniversary this weekend. We got congratulations. Congratulations We got to the chef tasting at Morimoto's got to try the wagyu beef. How do I eat mortal food again? How do I shut the fuck up about it? I don't know if I can anymore pray for me Yep

That's the wagyu That's the I don't know That's the maybe Maybe I'm a trashy bitch Okay, because I've gone to big big fancy restaurants I've gone to japan and eaten fucking high-end sushi and all that shit, but when we're driving around You know what i'm looking at on my fucking map. I'm like, man. I hope there's a fucking wendy's two towns over Dude, there's a fucking there's a butchery that's uh around that that they've got uh, you know

Some fun cuts of different kinds and they've got their their They've got their wagyu and when i'm feeling I when i'm feeling like a fancy bitch I go get a couple cuts of that And Yeah, it really like I know exactly what pepper is talking about. It's a it's a ruiner. It's a game changer It's like you can't You really do kind of instantly you chew it and then you become that person that's like, oh fuck I'm never gonna shut up about this. Yeah, but how long ago have you gone to wendy's?

God Yeah Perhaps yeah, hey Jesus like On the one hand fucking perfect marbled wagyu beef on the other hand wendy's though. All right. Well Jesus you think you think i'm joking you think that yeah I mean look man. It's it is that shit is it ain't fucking cheap, you know, but

It is really really noticeably like unbelievably good beef and it's it's i'd said i'm ranking it second after yakiniku black hole really Um, so i'm right there with you and the answer is you you you're you're fucked pepper. Sorry um Let's go to wendy's bro. Let's go to yeah. Yeah Uh, all right We got one here Coming in uh

From Uh why it says what is the worst documentary you've ever seen? Hey, will you and pat uh recently I watched a documentary called when we were bullies And it's the story of a documentary filmmaker named jay that randomly ran into someone that they went to elementary school with While catching up they both remembered that almost their entire class would bully a single kid named richard Jay then decided to connect all the former students together and interview them About what they did to richard to compile into the documentary

The bullying ranged from name calling to poking him with sewing needles to even beating him up as a group Some even laughed when telling the stories during the documentary jay also tries to contact richard But richard told him that he wasn't going to talk to him and that he didn't want the documentary to be made The documentary ends with jay trying to justify why he was a bully by saying that his parents were getting a divorce and he didn't know Better so it wasn't his fault There's also a brief section where he addresses richard directly explaining why he's still making the film Even after being asked not to and says verbatim if you ever watch this, I hope you understand that it's not your story It's our story

The overall message of the documentary seems to be jay says Saying that he accepts his own apology Even though richard does not It was the worst documentary I've ever seen and it left me infuriated The only positive aspect is that jay's behavior proves that most bullies don't actually grow out of it And instead are just forced by society to stop being bullies. What's the worst you've ever watched? That's a Fuck it. I I don't have anything that's going to top that that is insanity

holy Unsurprisingly people who are complete fucking pieces of shit as young people um with no external cause Turn into complete piece of fucking shit adults like Let's take for example if this particular person said that his bullying was them lashing out due to a Uh undiagnosed mental health issue because they were suffering from abuse at home, right?

You can connect the dots there Right? That's an external cause that is going to come out in a way and it can be understood But people's parents get divorced all the time People go through rough spots in their school year or what have you um The decision to soothe yourself with cruelty Is an informed one

I would even say that like if you take this entire setup and put in Like what you were just talking about let's say some form of legitimate traumatic reason why that kid Didn't understand why he was wrong for bullying the other kid and was literally like Just in a situation where he was something was up and he was incapable of understanding it, right? Whatever that excuse would have been There's still a second point where after

Coming to realization of what that was and why that happened and whatever it is When you go to the person who's the subject of the story and they say don't do this and then you go fuck you I'm doing it anyway. Well that just like that's the that's the moment where you have a chance to back up and go Oh, fuck. Okay. I thought this might be a chance to do something and then you could step back That Does it to begin with is what's in play when it comes to deciding to stop it Because it the same triggers have never been fixed and they're all in place So the the person who doesn't give a fuck back then doesn't give a fuck about what you have to say about the matter now

And then you can just backwards justify whatever you need to to make yourself feel better Yeah, no, you you you attributed a dramatically higher amount of self-reflection Then is possible One of the one of the personality traits of people who act like this is a total lack of self-reflection a world of me Outward-facing only Um That's an insane ass a fucking uh, uh Summary

When we were bullies is what it's called. And yeah, I don't think I've ever seen anything that can really top what you just described Yeah, like I'm sure you heard at some point in your life woolly. Ah, it's just kids kids are cruel It's like no cruel kids are cruel Bad kids are are are are specifically cruelty I think um I I can I can think of Story like documentaries where like there's been times where I've sat down with punch mom to watch something

And then like a couple minutes in would be like what the fuck is this and then just be like eh tapping out, you know um The in in terms of what I've sat through to its entirety though like there's one that I can think of I don't remember enough details Unfortunately to be able to put together a sensible Thing here, but I kind of remember watching Um this one on netflix called uh sea spiracy And it kind of just seemed it seemed a little bit odd in that like it had a lot of really good uh points and things that it was trying to expose about um

the like basically like the uh unsustainability of like the fishing industry like nets leaving lots of pollution um some of the horrible stuff that was said Stuff that was happening in japan with the dolphin culling um, you know the the the the stickers that go on the cans saying that it's it's You know certified when it's not and there's all sorts of stuff like that. Um And I remember that all being like uh, you know pretty sound and like Like important things to expose and then it also showed like how certain countries I think had like people that were like

Employee like basically indentured servants working on ships doing fishing things and it was it was really horrible Stuff that was being exposed. Um and then it kind of like um it goes towards like uh trying to Then sort of like explain what? The solution to some of this is and then it like it looks into like like farming and at one point they go out and they follow

Well like a hunting boat and stuff um, but I just remember the kind of There's some specific things it was doing that I was like something's A bit odd about how this is going. I don't know really know what I'm not sure um, and I just remember that like at the end it kind of I remember sitting there with punch mom and we were kind of just like This the in the end their solution was basically they're just like so this is why everyone on the planet needs to stop eating fish Permanently and that's the only way to solve the like what we're talking about here

And I was like is it really just that? I don't Like I don't think that's a viable goal and the and the yeah They kind of just go into this thing where they're just like yeah, no, that's the only thing and it's like no that's a huge I understand what you're saying about the problems here but then that's another thing entirely and um In some cases it's like There if you're particularly the type of person that's like I'm going to go fish and eat what I hunt because that's what

Consuming and that's the most normal way to consume this type of thing it was kind of there's kind of a vibe of like Yeah, but no even that's not okay, and that's like It's me. It's it's kind of a mean thing to do I I don't I don't remember the specific points, but It just kind of it it struck me is really odd like you ever you ever talk to somebody who's like upset about About politics the thing you ever talk to somebody who's upset about something that's going on in politics You're like, I don't know man. What are you going to do and they're like we got a

revolution and you're and you're like How Yeah, we just all got to get up to Revolution and you're like I don't think that's going to happen like I had it much I don't think that's a goal that's like achievable I had the specific things in my head more right after I watched it and it's been a while now But like it just was definitely something where I was like, okay

There's a lot of good points about some shit that's that's bad and that needs to stop and it's like with farms It's like you can you can have a fish farm and stuff But like some of them come out diseased and lice and that's bad and like you know everything has these like violent criticisms and stuff but Yeah, it just it then kind of was like, okay But the the person who's directing this their lifestyle is that they've chosen to go vegan and essentially This is all supposed to be a slam dunk as to why the result is for you to do the same and it's like that's Not you didn't lay out that pathway

You know and and you're not having that full conversation. It feels like so Anyway, that's the closest thing I can think of which was just like You gotta stop testing on animals. Don't you use diabetes medication derived from testing on animals? That's different It's different because I'm helping them so I need it Yeah That former pita spokesperson of a couple of years ago pita. Yeah, it's a bit of the it's a bit of that unfortunate pita energy Because it's like, you know the counterpoint against like, you know The methods and the things that are that are mentioned that are awful or like

clear, but when the thing is like, hey like if you have to like you know Go hunting or go fishing and then you you are just directly Feeding your town with what you're doing directly and it's not a part of the industry. It's just normal ass fishing Like what's the problem with that? Your heart medication is derived from fish. It's immoral. Okay. I guess I'll just die Anyway, it was a weird one. It was a weird one. Um, but yeah, that's that's the closest I can think of, you know Anyway Yeah

Oh, apparently they had to Um Redact some of the stuff they talked about too. Okay. I don't know whatever. I'm not a fucking I'm not the person. I don't know Okay Hey, that's that one. Okay. I've got one. Oh, okay. All right A terrible documentary Okay, a documentary that I did not understand even at the time of this release

And people told me, uh, whatever you don't get it Fucking supersize me Mmm. I didn't I never actually watched it So here's what supersize me is right? Guy says mcdonald's is unhealthy. He eats at all months, right? He decides to eat nothing But mcdonald's three meals a day right and gets fat And he's like see And everyone with a working brain goes. Yeah, no shit. You fucking idiot

You're eating like four fucking thousand calories a day. What the fuck do you think is going to happen? You fucking moron Yeah, okay, like genuinely bad. I thought that was yeah, okay Like gen genuinely completely fucking baffling And people like oh my god, I can't believe how unhealthy mcdonald. I'm never eating there again I'm like, I'm not going to stand here and fucking defend mcdonald specifically but like Like all I can feel is the deep seated emotion of what are you fucking stupid? Yeah, no, um, there's other points you can make there

But like that first layer isn't much to say like for example, um, I have a cousin who's uh She specifically like has a whole organization that looks into like Um areas, uh, you know in certain in certain states where it's like are you living in a neighborhood or in a rural area where literally Like the only thing near you is uh fast food and the nearest grocery store is like five times the distance compared to the nearest mcdonald's That sucks We should do something about that because that's the available food that's cheaper compared to doing a regular grocery You know a thing like you can talk about that about the availability and the costs and the price and all that stuff for in Certain areas or neighborhoods where you don't have access to anything, you know

But that's a different discussion that you've got to have on top of just like Just having that one thing and making that one point Apparently i'm seeing a lot of people say that he apparently had liver damage from a former drinking problem That he was using supersize me to blame on mcdonald's Mmm Food deserts, there you go. That's your term for that. Um Yeah, so, you know, uh, that's that's something that I know she's told me about that's that's A second layer to the point, but you got it. You got to have that second layer

You know just start at the bottom and leave it there um Yeah, I should do I should do a Documentary where I eat wendy's once a week And see how it improves my happiness Sounds like it would improve your happiness a lot Dude, I want to wendy's so bad like the whole podcast i've been sitting here going like man, I could go for some fucking wendy's right now Cool. All right, the the patties are a square woolly. It's better that way because his grandma told him to not cut corners

I Was that is that really? Yeah Do you know that? No, I didn't know that because Dave thomas's grandma told him never cut corners So that's the only the only thing I know about Dave thomas is that he was adopted and wendy's had the charity stuff for adopted kids Oh, that's yeah, that's that's why they're square That's cool. Fucking hey, you want to go wendy's All right, you go figure that out

Okay Bye everybody
