Castle Super Beast - CSB 241: Castle Super Yeast

Starting point is 00:00:00 МУЗЫКАЛЬНАЯ ЗАСТАВКА Hello, what's up? Hi. Good afternoon, Willie. It's... It's nice to see you again today. Yes, hello. Nice to see you again today. Yes, hello. Nice to see you again today. I don't know what Twitch's TOS violations are. Oh God, you saw too. I'm not in the interest of not puking everywhere and completely fucking destroying this podcast. We will not be discussing the making of beer yeast with with And there and by prox and anything about that. We will just not be discussing it

Starting point is 00:01:13 It's really something that like both of us just had our eyes just scorched by the same horrible comment Somatine like score. I don't know what the rules are, but I don't think barfing on pod is okay. It's probably not. I think if you barfed a bl- like, oh, I don't feel so good. Blah, right? And then I'm like, oh, sorry guys. And you had to clean yourself up.

Starting point is 00:01:38 I think that's like fine. But I think the rules are intent, right? And parsing intent is tough. But if you were like, hey guys, let's see how many of these buckets I can fill. Here we go. Oh, I think that would be maybe against the rules. That seems like, you know, intent, right? Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:02:00 A whole new type of hot tub stream. Just... Yeah, a whole new type of hot tub stream. Just... How many buckets? Spurred in, how many buckets can fill the hot tub? Yeah, they're right. Wow. Great start today, hey man, what's up?

Starting point is 00:02:20 Yeah, how are you doing? No, not much, just fine. And you know, listen, like people who rightfully are like, you know, when I tune in and I'm eating my lunch and you're an idiot. I'm like, yeah, I got you're full. I get it. I get it. You're an absolute phone.

Starting point is 00:02:36 It happens to me to, you know, sometimes I'm listening to something and then it's like time to go into just the most horrifying visualizations of the worst parts of the human body. And here's the thing. I'm the kind of person that anything anyone ever says, it can affect my stomach, right? I have to see something, right? I can see something and that'll fuck me up. But like I haven't barfed in years, years, years, years, right?

Starting point is 00:03:00 So I'll just look watch or listen to anything. But if you're the kind of person who can't watch or listen to anything while eating your food, you might want to stay away from specifically eating your food during times where you have no expectation or control over what people are going to say. I mean, quite frankly, it happens where I soon, whatever something approaches it. I'm just like, yeah, we're just gonna scrub that forward by Quite a bit and I'm just get get right past the topic is you know, but yeah, I but I feel free I almost threw up the other day for the first time in like 10 years actually come to think of it damn you know why I was hungry

Starting point is 00:03:42 Weird I was sitting around and I was getting all I was hungry. Weird. I was sitting around and I was getting all, I was having a, I talked about this on my show. I was sitting around and I was like getting really emotional. I was getting like really emotional. I was like getting like weepy over nothing, over nothing. And I was like, I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:04:01 No, I just, I will, laughing at my emotion. I'm not laughing at your emotions. I am not going to name this episode castle super yeast I will not do it. You cannot know you cannot make me do it. You can't make me do it. I don't care what you say Not gonna. No So I'm sitting there and I'm getting like so emotional. And I'm like, and like pages are like, are you crying? I'm like, I think I am.

Starting point is 00:04:29 I don't know why. And then I was like overwhelmed with like, I need to wretch. Over while I was so nauseous and I went to the sink and I like dry heaved. And then I was like, oh my God. And she's like, okay, honey, let me get you a sandwich. And then she made me a sandwich.

Starting point is 00:04:44 And then I ate the sandwich. And I was eating, oh my god, she's like, okay, honey, let me get you a sandwich. And then she made me a sandwich. And then I ate the sandwich. And I was eating the sandwich. I was like, wait a second. It's like two, three o'clock in the afternoon. The last thing I had was dinner yesterday. So I had an eaten in 22 hours. Mm-hmm. Oh, and then I ate my sandwich and I was like,

Starting point is 00:05:06 yay, everything's great. It's like that's the last, that's the nearest I've come to throwing up in a decade. Wow. Okay. I feel like sometimes you just gotta eat food. Yeah. I don't think I've ever had it because of,

Starting point is 00:05:23 out of hunger, because that almost feels like it would be like a dry heave more than anything. It was a dry heave. Okay. Yeah. It was not great. You're right.

Starting point is 00:05:32 So, you know, a piece of advice for everyone on this podcast, I think it's really solid advice that you should not examine. And it's, if you feel sad, eat food. If you're ever sad about something, just eat food until you're not sad anymore. Got it. Okay. Just should I think about the thing while eating for maximum association?

Starting point is 00:05:54 Yeah, yeah, you should. Okay. Link the pain to the food. Yeah. Got it. Hey, you want, you want, hey, hey, okay, you you know you see how I'm a little chunky see how this this is happen You want my mom would do when I would cry Give me a cookie

Starting point is 00:06:15 Say here this will make you feel better. No. Oh, that was step one. Oh No, that sucks damn Okay I mean look I remember when So it's so like straight. Yeah, yeah, that's a direct line like for me Our babysitter would just always give like like seconds and just didn't really care about that. Now remember when I remember the decisions I made to like sneak down to the kitchen and make a peanut butter sandwich. And I'm like, yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:55 And I'm like, that's on me. I was being a little fatty. Yeah, no, and I developed that over time, but oh no. Okay. Cookie make happy. So I got in trouble with my mom this week. I want to tell this story. over time, but oh no. Okay. Cookie make happy. So I got in trouble with my mom this week. I want to tell this story. Me and Paige got in a little bit of trouble with my mom.

Starting point is 00:07:11 So my mom calls me on Saturdays or Sundays, right? And we chat, I was like, how's the baby? How's dad, you know, that kind of thing, right? How you doing mom? Blubba, my hip. The usual, right? And my mom asks how the baby is. and we tell her, baby's great. And then she goes, and then she always like every two weeks she asks like a follow up question

Starting point is 00:07:32 about what are we doing at this stage to take care of the baby. And so babies like three-ish months, and she's like, oh, have you started feeding them cereal yet? I go, what? She goes, okay, because when you were, when you were a baby, when you turned three months, and you were on your feeding schedule, at night to help you sleep, I'd put problem, which is a rice cereal,

Starting point is 00:08:03 into your bottle to help you sleep the night. And like, I turned to page and like our mouths are just like, and I'm like furiously googling when's the early, like, six months. Six months is, is, is, is, is, is, yes. So her grandfather told her about the tip and then that passes down to the and that's why now you got a dip a finger in the whiskey bottle and put it in the baby's mouth. And so, and so like there there was more there was more to this.

Starting point is 00:08:34 God. Oh yeah, you know, help help learn. You know, because your colloc was so bad when we were, you know, giving you the bottles of water and the cereal at three months. And like page and I are just like, like, you know when you're laughing so hard, you can't even get it. Oh my God, come on, come on.

Starting point is 00:08:50 So we're like breathing, and my mom's like, are you guys okay? Like, we're fine. And then I like, I ended up bursting out laughing. And she's like, why are you laughing at me? And like, mom, every time you tell us a baby tip, it's something that kills babies. Like you asked us if we had crib bumpers. And like mom, that kills babies. You killed

Starting point is 00:09:14 them. And and she's like, well, you know, it was a different time. I was doing my bed. And like, absolutely mom, you were doing your best. but at the same time, oh my god every every like two weeks dude I get like some new detail about why I am stunted and busted Live cut back to to patch childhood. It's just doomsday Growing up on the fucking planet That was just Brad to kill him had jeez, that's insane, man. I mean, you know, but again,

Starting point is 00:09:47 like I feel like the most common one I know is like whiskey, whiskey finger in the baby's mouth. I also got the whiskey dip for teeth. Yeah, I know about that. I think Paige's mom also gave her a little tiny bit of whiskey for her teeth. That was the, that wasn't just normal. That was what you did when the baby was teething.

Starting point is 00:10:08 Yeah. And then there's just a wild like shit that's like, hey, here's like toy mercury for the kids to play with. It's super fun to swirl in your hands, get it for the whole family and all that shit. But I've recently been made aware of a term. The Gen Z kids in the retail have invented it. And I upon hearing it, I have now retroactively seen it in my

Starting point is 00:10:36 life. And it's the boomer lead stair. Wow. Okay. It's the stare that the boomer gives you when they don't understand something and you can see the lead to paint just swirling in their neurons. And now that I've said it, you've seen it too! Just wish the complete shut down. Oh no! Oh, the lead stair. Oh boy. Okay. See now that I would like okay let you can go lead pain on that or I think I talked about it on the pod before actually but like the Like the aerosols can release? The CFC, the CFC inhale, what do you wanna, like the fact that like, okay, so the, you know,

Starting point is 00:11:32 the world's most like awful inventor invented. Oh yeah. He invented tetral ethyl lead and chloroflora carbons. Exactly, so lead back to back. Like lead in fucking, lead in gasoline that just destroys the planet and everybody. But also aerosol cans, which were responsible for damaging the ozone layer and creating the hole, which has started to repair itself. It gave all those Australians cancer.

Starting point is 00:12:01 And so there's the whole thing where like like long story short, you can see a chart of like The about of aerosols like released into the air and like the IQ And like test results of the entire generation of people in North America at the time just dipping because deep like no The dumb are people got the more the more aerosols were in the air and it's a perfect overlap chart. It's crazy. So when I was in university for psych, I had access to the scholarly journal, you know, you got free access to all the scholarly articles, right? And so one of the things I would constantly check on because at the time was the AOTS. Video games caused the violence in the kids because of the school shootings, right? And I would look it up and I was like,

Starting point is 00:12:47 actually this is nonsense because from 1995 to 2010, there's actually been a historical decrease in all violent crime. It's like a straight line down, right? So obviously, video games don't cause violence. And then as I dove deeper into the literature, I was like, actually what's happening is that lead poisoning is not affecting young people anymore

Starting point is 00:13:18 because of tetral ethyl lead being removed from gasoline in the 80s. So teenagers are growing up without like standard lead poisoning which leads to increased aggression and decreased appreciation of consequences. I mean, look man, like correlation does not equal causation, but fuck. No, for the lead it does.

Starting point is 00:13:43 But lead poisoning causes aggression like period. So what you're saying is is when jack Thompson used to rally against the video games and then was presented. He was actually rallying as lead which had already been defeated by that time and when he has no response to the data in front of him, what he's giving is in fact, the boomer leds there. Yeah, okay, yes, got it. Interesting. And it's specifically the boomers

Starting point is 00:14:14 because the older generations, they didn't go through their adolescent period being exposed to lethal, or near lethal amounts of lead, right? I mean, it's people who were born like my dad in the 50s. being exposed to lethal or near lethal amounts of lead, right? I mean, it's people who were born like my dad in the 50s. Yeah. And then rode that three decades of just intense lead inhalation. Now you and me, we are drowning in those god damn delicious microplastics.

Starting point is 00:14:42 Sure, sure. And whatever's happening with every wireless signal that's passing through you. Yeah, and when we were kids, I don't know, so you ping pong back from Canada to Grenada. I don't know if you were in elementary school when the decision came down, hey, oops, every school in the province

Starting point is 00:15:04 is just caked up with asbestos. Mm-hmm. I was gonna say yes. I need to take- Yes, asbestos in the walls was huge. And like that- We need to tear down every roof of every fucking public building. Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 00:15:18 The whole- Our- Yeah, our high school, like had gone through that just before we got there. But like- Oh my god, dude. It just- Fuck, man. our our our high school like had gone through that just before we got there but my God dude it just fuck man yeah it shit was wild but it was it was it was inexpensive and you know sometimes you make an oopsie in the name of of saving some cash it's all it is what it is well dude asbestos is it's fire retardant a building that's lined with asbestos is really hard to burn down

Starting point is 00:15:48 So you go hey man, you know what I don't want to burn down Elementary school don't want that to catch fire and burn down No Billy. Don't worry. Look. It's it's dusty. That's the safety Get a real whiff of it. Yeah, look, I'm sure, again, I'm sure we'll find out whatever the fuck is wrong with us in short term. When there's, it's been, I know that we go through these safety precautions and so on and regulations, but there's gotta be a gaping humongous oversight

Starting point is 00:16:22 somewhere in something we're doing right now. For sure. Well, so we're gonna have this. It's gonna happen is we know about the microplastics, but we don't know what the microplastics are doing. So it's not clear which of our current societal and health ills can be pointed at about at the plastics. Yeah, I think the most obvious thing too, as well,

Starting point is 00:16:46 is like obviously social media and like the brain effect it has on making everyone an addict of something, you know, but like in terms of just like materials being used for things, I mean, shit, like there was literally in the 90s, there was like a material that was used for piping. That was like the cheapest and most affordable, and better than copper. So they replaced a bunch of places with it,

Starting point is 00:17:09 and then it turned out that like, oops, that shit with fluoride in the water would degrade over the course of a couple of years and destroy it. Yeah, that was a, so that's why you have copper pipes, if your house is a little older, or you have PVC pipes, if your house is a little newer,

Starting point is 00:17:23 because that interim pipes had to go. Right, so yeah, all kinds of shit like that. We're gonna find out soon. But yeah, also there's a good chance that if you're born in the mid 90s and you're listening to this, you might not have even heard about the hole in the ozone layer, but in our elementary days, that's all we heard about because it was a major. Yeah, the ozone layers disappearing.

Starting point is 00:17:51 Australia's fucked. We're all going to die. There was a major crisis because exactly and like, and like, that was the main thing. We were like, uh, like pollution and all these things. And again, aerosols themselves doing the majority of the damage at the time. And we stopped hearing about it because apparently, it's so, we stopped using a lot of that shit and it repaired itself. And I was like, wait, what?

Starting point is 00:18:12 No one ever gave me the update on that story. I just remember living in perpetual fear that a fucking hammer of dawn laser was gonna come from God and just smite the planet. Well, I mean, that was gonna happen anyway, but, you know, but not for scientific reasons, of course. That's theological reasons. Yeah, but no, the idea was that apparently,

Starting point is 00:18:35 and again, I, someone can correct me on this if I'm wrong, that knows better about it. But what I've heard is that it's been repairing itself over time and like we don't hear about it as much anymore because like that actually Can get better if you leave it the Also, I mean who cares about Australians Except for when what happens there

Starting point is 00:19:01 Happens everywhere else. I love the Australian accent. I think it's very charming. I love you, Australia. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to make fun of you all the time. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to make fun of you all the time. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. R-N-R.

Starting point is 00:19:12 No, no, no, no. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the Rs are out of there. It's I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I man it does depend I suppose. All right so hey happy happy all Hallows Eve. Oh yeah it's Halloween tomorrow. Had a bit of a week and yeah in case we're gonna I yeah, we're gonna be scheduling it to drop on the channel exactly for Halloween, but we did a little spook stream over on Wily versus, and yeah, that was, so I had known, and I had known for a while, I'm like, Reggie doesn't know too much about PT, but he's heard about it, right? But like, I don't, and I remember a couple years years ago I put that in my back pocket like I was like Oh, yeah, Regi versus me save this fucking thing. That's a good thing

Starting point is 00:20:11 But like yeah, not only was it like obviously great because he just he had heard but didn't fully know He didn't even know what the full story of what it was or supposed to become you know all that's so like pressing But it had to then explain it to him. No, because the ending is the payoff is the reveal. You know, so yeah, we got to do that and everyone got to relive their trauma. So please enjoy the Halloween special that will be dropping tomorrow or today depending. We got to do that. I forgot that beating that demo requires a fucking microphone. Yeah. I forgot. So the the steps, the final reasons why so many people couldn't complete it.

Starting point is 00:21:03 the through the steps the final reasons why so many people couldn't complete it. You're so I guess so like I guess the ideal experience for most people is you just shit your pants you hit the fucking infinite hallway you never find the people and then you call me and then page beat it yeah so finding the people is already like a particularly up to step and then to go further than that like the the the walk 10 stop. Why would you speak into the mic? So punch mom? clutch mom Came through and and and brought a PS microphone over And we were able to to get to that ending so it happened, but yeah I kind of, I thought, I remember that being like,

Starting point is 00:21:47 oh, you can like, puts your way through the demo, but to get the true ending, you had to collect the photos and do all that shit. But I didn't remember that it was like, no, no, no, no, no, you need a goddamn mic to begin with, you know? Anyway, good times, right? We're, we're're had look forward to that Also spooky game we played right on hot on the heels of PT the scariest game ever

Starting point is 00:22:13 How do you won that up? Well by playing co-op vampire survivors, of course So it's so scary man that thing is like it's sooo scary Man that thing is like It's so much fun and It's brilliant and the and the the co-op system is brilliantly designed But also like now that I've done it like I've done it I tried it with him and then I tried it with punch mom for a bit like I'm kind of like fuck. I want to just I Want to just pick my I I don't wanna split my power.

Starting point is 00:22:46 It's like, it's like, it's a full, no, what you gotta do is you gotta start playing it by yourself afterwards as soon as you watch something. Well, that's kinda the deal. Yeah, you're divided and then you have to learn the co-op, you have to learn the co-op strats of like, okay, look, your build sucks, just huddle next to me. And I'll let my fucking garlic in and light up that.

Starting point is 00:23:05 I'll tell you your build comes up or something like that. But yeah, it really does. And I can imagine with four players as well, it just activate the fucking greed circuits aggressively because you're like, you only get these few things. You don't get to max out your build so you have no room for mistakes. You better fucking pick perfectly from the jump

Starting point is 00:23:23 and then what you do, you know, I guess, no enough about optimizing from what you have available. But yeah, it was so goddamn good. It's just, it's good. And like chemicals go off in your head and you feel them, clicks right away. It click like it was a fun little journey. I had a couple other things lined up. I might take a look, I don't know, we'll see.

Starting point is 00:23:52 But at the very least, those two should be dropping. So please look forward to that. Yeah. I'm still thinking about what to do for this week's schedule why so I'll probably post it after the podcast but the other thing was we went right into the sacred sacred and terrible air, let's read. And yeah, so follow up on that, I think. How's the quality of the translation? So it's a fan translation. It is, and I, it's interesting,

Starting point is 00:24:35 because I think it's really good, I think it's fine. I've been hearing that there's a second fan translation that's even better and people are pointing out that there's things about this one that were, you know, that were not accurate or a little bit or that the other one is superior, but from my experience so far, it's been excellent. So and to update with anyone on that like I'm gonna be putting it out. And there's a proper explanation there too as well, but with the text-to-speech stuff, I just decided to read it out myself. The, I got my bottle of water and then just treated it as a like full-on let's read.

Starting point is 00:25:13 The, like, while I still ultimately think the context was fine for my use case on that, I just didn't, I think the discussion was already distracting from the project being a cool thing. And I don't want to have anyone have to like immediately have to hear that part before you just can just be like, hey, let's check out this cool short story, you know? Right. So, um, I just went through it that way. We got to chapter 6 of... Pfft. Um, well it's 100 and some odd pages, so we basically made it through almost a third

Starting point is 00:25:52 of it, so that's encouraging, because it seems like it can be done. Yeah, and another maybe two or three streams, but ultimately pretty fucking cool so far. So I gotta ask, I guess my follow-up question question after house of translation for accuracy and the answer is good enough How's the book really cool so far? the introduction and the the pros it just kind of like Reminds you like oh, yeah like when a lot of like again like a lot of it There's a moment where you're you can't think of how like a lot of, like again, like a lot of, there's a moment where you're,

Starting point is 00:26:25 you've had to think of how like a lot of people look at writing is like, well, if I can't be an artist, I'll just be a writer, or if I can't do another thing, you know, I'll just, I'll just write. That's what they do. That's what they do. We all use words every day, so it's that simple, right?

Starting point is 00:26:38 And then you just read like the way curvets is using the language and you're like, motherfucker, like you can't do that. Like it's mastery of words. It's incredible. The the flavor and the feeling of everything that like is like it's filtered through the lens of like the political it's filtered through the lens of just like the raw, most fucked up versions of things, it's filtered through like a like extreme, everything is as saturated as possible, you know?

Starting point is 00:27:15 It's the most vivid versions of every single emotion you're going to describe, every event, every occurrence. Like I only have this many pages, I'm going to work for every word. And it does an amazing job with it especially because the first six chapters so far are jumping around in time because you're cutting the between present day past day you know like you're having you're following like a couple of different characters some some of which are in childhood, some of which are in adulthood, you know, and then you're also cutting to what I'm calling shivers,

Starting point is 00:27:52 right? So there's full chapters of just shivers, you know, going off. And you're like, now in hindsight, this writing style was the inspiration for shivers. Absolutely, right? And I'm like, God damn it. That's why it's my favorite skill because it's just, let's just spend a minute building

Starting point is 00:28:13 this world out by telling you what's going on over here, what's going on over there. Here's a concept, right? There's a chapter called non-entity. And it's just describing the concept by which in a, in a, uh, someone can become unpersoned and just kind of put down the memory hole, right? It's, it's, it's, it's memory holding something. But, um, the, the process by which the government like does that in this setting, they go through, um, Krasamazov and his communist, uh, uh, associates and like, the how it was how it was to handle that way.

Starting point is 00:28:46 And like the way the scribes just the the deleting of a person and everything like that, it just it again, it does it with the shivers of a verbiage and it's it's incredible, you know. And then you're like at some point like of all these wandering meandering thoughts that have painted a really great picture There's like two that are gonna be very relevant to something that's about to happen But all of this is just Creating the the the background. So I have a really stupid question about this book

Starting point is 00:29:22 Harry and Kim and all that and the wide The wide ranging Topics and tones that you go through in Disco Elysium, eventually is about a murder involving itself in a labor dispute at its like most base premise. What the fuck is actually the premise of sacred and terrible air? The premise is that we open on a completely different isola, a completely different place where you're not in revishal, you're somewhere else. But we're talking about gride and we're talking about,

Starting point is 00:30:02 you know, like the similar words and locations. It is a murder mystery as well. Okay. In this case, your opening chapter is not a like mercenaries body strung up on a tree or whatever. It's four little girls are disappeared. What the fuck happened to them? four little girls are disappeared. What the fuck happened to them? And we have basically a,

Starting point is 00:30:31 from the ideas like this is a mystery, we don't know what happened. And you then are gonna follow after a time, right, 20 years or so of a mystery, people that knew them as that knew the missing, as kids are trying to solve what happened to them years later. Okay. And this is your opening salvo, right? This is how this is what it is. And so like, you know, right off the bat, like this is, again, this is not going to just be the, the, the, the, the gags and the light, uh, uh, Erie, uh, jokes of, of, of disco,

Starting point is 00:31:14 you know, which are a big part of it, but it's, uh, it's, it's gonna be heavy. It's gonna be fucked up. It's gonna be dark. And we've definitely already, by chapter four, you're reading about like monsters, monsters for human beings. Like the stories that Crennell were telling you in Disco Elysium, you're hitting that type of shit. And while you're hitting that,

Starting point is 00:31:40 you're also, again, you're finding out about the way the world is handling this type of stuff, the way the interesting, the links to stuff like the man from Heimdall, and just these little keywords where you're like, oh yeah, right, I remember these concepts coming back up. And of course, where would we be without a little bit of measurehead sprinkled You know and when I say a little bit. I mean a whole lot Generously in turbo racists and and

Starting point is 00:32:16 Hyper-nazies and just all kinds of fucking Yeah, just insane all that good shit all that good shit. That's like it's so insane, but it's so so real You know But yeah at its core What happened to those girls is is what we're what we're trying to figure out And yeah, man, I mean like I said we took It we got through the first six and It went really well.

Starting point is 00:32:46 I didn't feel too tired afterwards either. Like I felt like it was interesting. That, I was like, oh, I can do this if I pace myself and come in with proper energy levels. So yeah, gonna be going back through that sacred and terrible air. The is the name of the book again, in case you're, you're just joining.

Starting point is 00:33:12 And yeah, the only bummer I guess was when I was, when I'm going through it, the, I was playing disco soundtrack in the background, you know, for Ambi's. And of course, ever since the legal foibles, everything disco OST related on YouTube has been getting claimed. So, chapter, the parts of the old LP have been getting claimed and shit like that for a while now.

Starting point is 00:33:42 So obviously, this doesn't let us put the music in the background, which fucking sucks. So yeah, I actually talked about something like this because I've been playing Alan Wake and Alan Wake has like the licensed music at the end of every single chapter and as well as like through multiple scenes and people were asking like, hey Pat, what are you going to do about the licensed music? And the answer is I don't care anymore. Okay. I'm at the part where it's like it's very clear that danger to your channel was nearly exclusively limited

Starting point is 00:34:15 to people running pirate radio stations and just like rebroadcasting shit off the fucking radio for hours and hours and hours and hours. Right? That we have kind of reverted back to, is the robot gonna get muted? Is the YouTube monetization gonna get turned off? And like, specifically with Ramadhi stuff,

Starting point is 00:34:36 Ramadhi uses so much pop music in their fucking scenes. Like, I remember, did you play control? Yeah, for a bit. Did you play control? Uh yeah for a bit. Oh did you play it on or off camera? Uh both. Okay, cause on camera the fucking Ashtray maze, that's a licensed track. And the Ashtray maze,

Starting point is 00:34:57 if you turn on the copyright thing, just removes the music. Uh so and the scene is ruined. I mean I played um um Just removes the music. Uh, so, and the scene is ruined. I mean, I played, um, um, um, Miles Morales on camera. And that was just like, okay, well, we will rely on chat to let me know

Starting point is 00:35:16 when the first couple notes play. I ain't never fast enough. That's the worst thing. Oh, God, man. So I've given up and hearing that that applies to disco, I forget what, there was a game that came out recently that was, hey everybody, I want you to know that we have worked with all the musical artists

Starting point is 00:35:36 in our game to make sure that you will not be copyright claimed if you play this game with the music on. And then people started to upload it and they were getting copyright claimed by for the music. Rodulence copyright claimants. Like there's no point. There's no point. Like I have fucking MCNs that I thought died years ago

Starting point is 00:35:56 telling me they own Final Fantasy's music. Because it lets you look and see other videos that are using something that YouTube thinks is your own. And you know, the best way to like quiet the DMCA bullshit and anger is to give other people the same access to that greed, right? So you can eat, you can like make a system that works for everybody or you can give the power to claim videos to everyone else so that everyone will be shitty to each other and want to make money off of each other and therefore now

Starting point is 00:36:31 you can just wash your hands. So I'm sure you get this on your YouTube channel, but on mine, I will log in and go, hey, we found matches to your content. Do you want to do anything about that? And every now and then I'll go in and I'll go, oh, is somebody like reuploading my videos? No, it's the intro to the game I played last week where I was quiet during the intro cut scene. Yep, that's it.

Starting point is 00:36:54 And I was the first person to get it up there. Yeah. And so it says that it's mine. Yeah. And do I want to strike all these people with 10 or 15 or 100 views? Yeah, I watch the Gungrave Gore trailer. Do you wanna claim every other instance of Gungrave Gore

Starting point is 00:37:10 on YouTube because you can fucker, right? And don't do that because it's not mine. Right, but everybody else is like, whoa, I'm gonna push it. I will again, that fucking shitty band that is like I own the Mario Thousand Year Door intro theme. Yes, I do.

Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah, you do? Dude. Anyway, so what a mess. What a fucking mess. So here's what I did is like, yes, it's kind of an audio book, but I also think the music added a lot to it. I went to it. I had a peeked in and the interface you had with the music.

Starting point is 00:37:46 It was nice. It was very cool. So I went and I got some royalty free music that I think tonally fits with what's going on and feels disco-esque in a way. It's not obviously gonna be the same. It can't possibly, but it's just something that I think is a decent

Starting point is 00:38:06 replacement for now. And that's what we're going to be doing for the YouTube upload. So the cynic in me says that your royalty free music is also going to get claimed. The tests we've run seem to indicate that they'll be fine. tests we've run seem to indicate that they'll be fine. So, the new cynic says they'll be claimed in four months. Yes, perhaps, perhaps, right? Exactly. But yeah, Bob Rossiber Funk, I was gonna bring up with yeah, a perfect example where they said

Starting point is 00:38:37 everyone, no problem with the music, go ahead, go nuts, and that allows other people to start pretending they would they own it exactly, yeah. We'll see, but for now it seems own it exactly. Yeah. We'll see. But for now, it seems like it'll be fine. And I think I found some tracks that are very disco-esque in their background tone. And hopefully that'll, that'll, uh, others will agree with me. So yeah, check that out.

Starting point is 00:38:56 That'll be coming soon. The Let's Read, um, series. Um, what else is going on? Uh, oh yeah, hit up a surmiao music, had a little Halloween shindig, that was fun, got to rock my- He's really nice. I've spoken to him a couple times via DM. Super cool. He just seems like a really sweet guy. Yeah. And I like that like- There's a point where I think

Starting point is 00:39:25 at a certain age, the effort in Halloween costumes is just like, do I have a kegoo? All right, call it a day, right? We have a Halloween costume. We have multiple Halloween costumes for the baby. And what we discovered is that our baby is smaller than what the baby clothing companies think is zero to three months.

Starting point is 00:39:45 Because they're all the fucking gigantic. Do page and I have costumes? Fuck no, who gives a shit? Baby costumes. There you go. Time limited at that. Um, although I keep hearing about the whole, like, the scamb of baby shoes, it's like, yo, do you want to buy baby Jordans?

Starting point is 00:40:08 Go ahead, pay them full price. They work for two weeks. So I'm gonna say, hey, I have a baby. I can talk about this. Baby clothes are a scam. Find a relative or a neighbor or a community place or what, like any given size of baby clothes, last like, man, we got some from a local place and he out grew that shit in two weeks.

Starting point is 00:40:36 So I feel like the whole point is just for a photo shoot, right? It's just a genuic cute little thing of like, hey, check out my baby tins. And he's, and you got your little baby outfit going and you, you dress up to look like something or someone and then that's it, you know. But you don't actually like baby shoes never worn is supposed to be depressing, not like a fucking like byline on your eBay ad.

Starting point is 00:40:57 Because they like, you never had the opportunity. Nothing's never done. No, man, the pristine baby never put the shoes in for sale. Yeah. Um, so yeah, we did that. And of course, we returned to Final Fantasy 9. We returned to VV. And, uh, yeah, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh I'm glad we had Siv put together the best of what we did so far. So a nice little summary for anybody who is joining us on the story so far can catch back up.

Starting point is 00:41:31 And I certainly use that to be like, oh yeah, what was going on? Oh yeah, there we go. So FF9 continues over on the channel. I spent a good chunk yesterday watching a show called Pluto. Have you heard a Pluto? I have heard of Pluto. More than so, two things I've heard about Pluto. It's by Naoki Rosawa who did Monster, which is one of my favorite things I've ever seen in my life, which I keep trying to convince the wife to watch. And I knew this even before I learned of it because I saw a picture of a character in Pluto.

Starting point is 00:42:16 And when is that a new fucking monster spin off? What is it like that? Dude, that guy's style is one to one. He has exactly the way he wants to draw people and that is the way he's gonna draw them. So as a fan of monster, 20th century boys and now Pluto, I can tell you one thing right out of the gate, that motherfucker is enamored

Starting point is 00:42:41 with a long haired, shaggy hob hobo looking fucker wearing a trench coat. That character will show up at some point. It is a spade. Everything. Oh my god. Like just like Japanese man who's seen some shit. Just letting the hair shag out and who's wearing a long brown trench coat. It always happens. it always does.

Starting point is 00:43:07 And the thing that I found out about Pluto is that it is, I'm like, oh, how many episodes? I was like, there's eight episodes and they're each an hour long. And I'm like, what the fuck anime releases eight, one hour long episodes, the kind of fucker that puts out 50 episodes of monster and however many of 20th century boys because he tells long stories. Pluto is fucking incredible. It's so good. It's so so good. And I mean, obviously, considering how great, again,

Starting point is 00:43:46 20th century and monster are, it should not surprise me at all. But yet again, here we are. And I'm reminded of how much I enjoyed those things, because there's an element to the art style that is like super, that's being respected here where it's like, okay, we wanna make it look like the way the manga did. And with 20th century boys with monster, like I get a vibe that's similar to when I watch

Starting point is 00:44:13 like something from Satoshi Khan, where the characters are meant to be very grounded in reality, people are meant to look realistic. Like people. They're very full of people. You can, exactly. And you can expect to see, you can, as you can see,

Starting point is 00:44:28 a live action casting of a lot of these types of people as well. And I just love. I just love Monster on this podcast a million years ago. I was like, there's absolutely nothing in Monster that would stop it from being perfectly adapted to live action. Of course. In fact, nothing in it. The designs, the scope, the scale, the tone,

Starting point is 00:44:47 there's, it's like so she can. It's just a drama and a drawn instead of filmed. And I don't remember if Monster was adapted, but 20th century boys was made into a live action film, right? So, Monster was not because we would have heard about it. So, but it's super, it's super possible, absolutely. And I think like, you know, at risk of like, sounding too fucking boomer on,

Starting point is 00:45:12 oh, you're the anima's and shit. But I, and you know, like I also get that when it comes to whatever, I take my criticisms. But I think What I love is that the average person in an ursawa story is not beautiful or attractive Necessarily they're just people right they have Big noses and small noses and weird shaped faces and eyes that are all over the place and they're not all classically beautiful perfect characters which which is not what

Starting point is 00:45:46 you're used to seeing in that anime, right? And so what that means is when someone does show up that is be shown in beautiful, you're like, oh, fuck, that does a point, right? That character is, like, it has a, they stand out, in a way that someone like that, with that level of charisma would stand out in the world. And in the case of experience with, with a 20th century boys, but I remember in Monster, like half or more of all characters are like older guys, like in their 40s or

Starting point is 00:46:20 50s, who are like a little bit over the hill and like have big noses and like kinda pudgy faces and shit like they look like dudes. Yeah, so like when you have this world where you're so used to just seeing normal people and you know like again, flaw and shag and five o'clock shadows and tired old ass men and old and tired ass women, you know, when fucking

Starting point is 00:46:49 baby Hitler with perfect hair and beautiful features comes through and is like, I am charisma. It actually feels like that's happening because of how much that character design stands out in contrast to the rest of the fucking setting, right? Monsters incredible with that. I think you got to, I think it's using the art style that we know and are used to in a way that like maximizes its impact. And I feel like I've only really seen that with Rasa with stories. I know that, again, I'm comparing it as well to Satochi Khan, but Miyazaki as well will design a nice old person

Starting point is 00:47:34 with fucking bags under the eyes and just all those little details and stuff, but it feels really nice here in Pluto, seeing these characters who you may or may not recognize in some cases, seeing as, hey, guess what, this is a fucking astroboy story, but you're seeing them in like this kind of human form. It's pretty cool.

Starting point is 00:47:57 The creator of Astroboy in this story is named Dr. Tenma. That is the creator of Astro Boy. Oh, I'm not, I was not familiar with the reference. Yeah, no, no, no, no, it actually is. Um, so I watched, I started it not knowing at anything about it. I just pressed play completely cold. So it was very interesting

Starting point is 00:48:24 in getting introduced to this setting and then hitting the like, oh fuck, wait, wait, this is about what, right? And I mean it's like, yeah, because it's like you literally fucking Adam is, you know, like just walks on screen and you're like oh this is a this is an astro boy story It's a boy. I had no idea was weird. I know even my my oh people are talking about Pluto And I saw like a big evil man with like a horns Like oh cool, and then I like clicked on it and saw like is that fucking zetched Astro boy? And it's like well. No, that's a character from character from, from the old Tazaka fucking manga, right? Like that's what it is.

Starting point is 00:49:07 And yeah, not just Tenma, but like Uran, the Astroboy sister, you know, the Dr. Light equivalent, Ocheno Mizu, you know, who's like in there as well. Like, so I'll say that like, if you don't know anything about Astro Boy, this is still a very good story. I'm full episode.

Starting point is 00:49:29 I know that a man is just Astro Boy. Yeah, it really is. That's what I really is. It really, really is. I'm four episodes in, so I haven't finished it yet, but of halfway through it, I'll say that like, not, if you don't know any of the references of what's going on and you just kind of know vaguely what Astro Boy is, that's more than fine. It's a very good story and it's really, really well done in a self-contained way.

Starting point is 00:49:57 But if you do happen to vaguely know that like, oh, Dr. Tenma created Astro Boy, and Dr. Ochanomizu created Uran, and like there's the basics of what the story is, just like here's a background character that sets up, because Astro Boy has been rebooted many times, there's been many different versions of it, and there's lefts and rights and zigzins, eggs, but the constants are the origin story characters, you know, like with any like western comic, right?

Starting point is 00:50:30 So if you kind of are just like vaguely familiar with that, it will, it'll help. And it'll be a little bit like, oh shit, because I remember like, yeah, there's like one or two character reveals where you're like, oh fuck. Oh, I see you What you just cut to there. I know who that is, you know, and It is interesting kind of like having an idea of this is what this character is supposed to be What is this world's version gonna be of them, you know, but don't don't hang too much on that because it's still very enjoyable Even if you don't know too much about Astro boy It's a yeah, it is a also it's a departure from what I'm used to as well with the

Starting point is 00:51:16 previous two stories I'm referring to. Monsters is very just real life, right? Whenever it gets into the fantastical, it's like, some metaphor for... It's metaphorical. Or like, people think something fantastical is happening, but it's not. Yeah, and they're being actively tricked. Yes, and the camera and the music and the fucking visuals

Starting point is 00:51:41 will make you, like magic is happening, but it's not really. We're still hanging out here in Germany. And 20th century boys is also very much like that. You're like, oh shit, fucked up, insane things are happening. No, we're still in reality. But how about we're still in melodramatic reality?

Starting point is 00:52:04 Yes, yes. Whereas here, we're in, we're in, we're in the future. There are robots, there are robots that walk around and are, you know, completely human in appearance. And yeah, and we're beginning with the, like, the world where, you know, the laws of robotics have been introduced and we are now straight in the proper Yokotaro ethical dilemmas, you know.

Starting point is 00:52:35 And I say the Yokotaro as opposed to the David Cage versions, of course. And then yeah, you just kind of take it from there, you know, from episode one. The story is like kind of opening up, starting on your main character, guess it? I'm gonna try to pronounce it like when they say it, it's a little bit... My German's non-existent So I'm not gonna try and help you no, but but in any case and and but you're following this character, you know and You're just it feels like a lot of the the issues you're seeing are like just grown-ass man problems and

Starting point is 00:53:22 grown-ass man solutions and then here's and problems and grown-ass man solutions. And then here's a little hint of, here's a little bit of Astro Boy. And then here's some more. And then here's some more. But what if this is what was happening in the bright and colorful,

Starting point is 00:53:42 like a sort of Tessica style. And then what if the camera just kind of went right over here to, like, this dank basement where, like, the war crimes were happening? All right. While the cat, like, you know, like, like, right in frame, there he is, da-da-da-. He's awesome. What's happening, right? Right, just, ooh, that's bad. That's a huge war crime happening right over there.

Starting point is 00:54:12 Up here, Hannah Barfero could be pals with Hartford, man, and Speed Racer. Down here, how you doing, Johan? Yeah, and so you get that. There's proper, it's like, obviously, I'm saying Astro Boyd, but really, you're getting the feeling of true detective season one. You're getting the feeling of, oh yeah,

Starting point is 00:54:39 oh, big, big, hard feelings of that. That's not what I thought you were going to say. I'm dead dead serious about that You couldn't possibly imagine how much of that vibe is there is the theme of Pluto. Don't go to Louisiana I mean how did you not answer that with no very quickly? How did you have to think about that? Um, I think the... So, I'm only halfway through, but the theme of Pluto might be that, um, the lie told about weapons of mass destruction, has devastating ramifications, and the disposal of Saddam Hussein, and the Iraq war in the post-9-11 world is still being felt to this day.

Starting point is 00:55:42 It is going places dude. It is going places and it is not afraid to do it. And what's awesome is while you have this type of fucking awesome storytelling going on, let's literally cut sometimes to a story over here. Again, off camera, somewhere over here. And you might, you might, you'd be like, did I like accidentally click skip episode? What, oh, I'm watching.

Starting point is 00:56:15 What just, what is hat? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, feeling what I did going through those things in the beginning again where I'm like oh this motherfuck it's like How when I was talking about like the slam dunk movie I was like oh right in a way fucking kicks ass I forgot For a minute. I didn't forget but like you're like oh yeah Just a reminder that this motherfucker's doing it and when he decides to work on a project. It's gonna be like amazing It's that and in a is the artist on slam dunk? Part of me, oh yes, yes, and back on. So the guy who also did the one punch man redraws. One.

Starting point is 00:57:16 Or oh, no, because there's the two, there's one punch man, the web comic, and then there's one punch man, the most incredible looking. Yeah, I see in my life. Is it a bata? am I getting that right? That's somebody else. Okay Yeah, that's it. I thought marata was the slam dunk guy one in marata. Okay. Okay, Marata

Starting point is 00:57:37 No, no slam dunk guy is Takahiko in a way who's vagab Ichill 21, which is the football football right. Um, and in a way also did real the wheelchair basketball. It's not called wheel. No, real, real, real. It's not, it's not called, it's not called wheel. It's not called wheel. it's called real. That would have been a little on the nose, but that's not what happened. Yeah. My bad. Nope. That's, you know, discarded. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:58:12 Sometimes it's cool. Oh yeah. Cool. So yeah, anyway, the thing, of course, is it helps that same, you know, 20th century boys monster art style that we're talking about is also just enveloped in gorgeous quality animation, like CG plus traditional style mixed medium scenes, the integration of special effects and things are just awesome. So action is not the point of the stories he tells, but when it does happen, it's fucking impeccable.

Starting point is 00:59:00 And it makes sense now that I'm hearing that this is apparently like almost a decade in the making of a project that's been Developed for a really long time because it looks incredible and every episode is a fucking hour long. It's dense and gorgeous, you know So yeah at you know at risk of saying too much more It just goes places. And- Wow, I'm watching a little bit to this trailer while this is, this looks incredible.

Starting point is 00:59:32 Yeah, yeah. And again, there's been multiple times where I'm just like following the story and then just, you get jarringly reminded of what it's about. You're like, oh my God, wait, where was I? What just happened? It's really, the hours are dense but great.

Starting point is 00:59:54 So you're gonna feel after you've watched one episode as if you've watched three, you know? Well, you have, really? Yes, you actually have, that's true. The average anime is 19 minutes long plus And and tro and tro tro and ads whatnot Yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah, so I but you know by traditional metrics

Starting point is 01:00:19 I'll have see I guess I've seen like 12 episodes if you yeah, you know you go by that So yeah, Pluto really really really cool so far and I guess I've seen like 12 episodes if you go by that. So yeah, Pluto, really, really, really cool so far. And yeah, I'm gonna just go finish that shit off. And again, if you feel like it, I suppose, you can just briefly read a quick synopsis of what Astro Boy is about. But in most cases, it's just like, there's Astro Boy, he was made by, you know,

Starting point is 01:00:50 this Dr. Tedman and he's got his family, he's got his little sister, the good guy stuff and there's these other characters that are bad guys sometimes. And you know, there often be like, in most versions, this kind of happens, or that kind of happens, you know. So yeah, if you do want to like briefly know about that, like in most versions, this kind of happens or that kind of happens, you know.

Starting point is 01:01:09 So yeah, if you if you do want to like briefly know about that, it might, it might add, but it's not at all mandatory. I just clicked play myself, you know, so. Yeah, it's on Netflix, by the way. So yeah, and Netflix, I guess, knows aggressively that I want to watch it because when I opened it up It was like on my preview profile thing first recommend like Based on literally everything you've ever clicked on you probably want to watch this, you know So do watch this yeah, yeah big recommend That's that's pretty much it. So yeah, I'm just gonna, I'll drop that watch Pluto and You know eight episodes Feels good feels like a decent

Starting point is 01:01:56 Is it like a whole thing or is it the start of a thing? I don't know. I've only seen four of them. Oh, right. Yeah, I've got one stupid question It feels like a lot has happened question. It feels like a lot has happened, though. It feels like a lot, so. Yeah. Somebody in the chat who asks, as a follow up to this discussion, should I read or watch monster? You should watch monster.

Starting point is 01:02:22 That is like a one to one manga adaptation and the sub and dub are both excellent. And I, you know, can also highly recommend 20th Century Boys. I haven't watched it. I've read it and then I watched the live action movie because it came to the Fantasia Film Fest. But just reading through that manga was a fucking trip and a half years ago. Super duper good. So yeah, Orozawa is just fucking God tear creator like amazing. And here's another one for the pile, you know. Oh, when I click to play, it was subtitled. I don't know if there's a dub or not. So there is a dub, but you can't get it

Starting point is 01:03:06 Wait, are you talking about what's when you talking about Pluto Pluto? Yeah, there's no dub. Yeah, I don't imagine so okay, okay Yeah, so anyway, that's me Come tune in this week and I'll let you know we're gonna play ff9 for sure Yeah, gonna be out of town for the weekend as well, but we're gonna at least get ff9 in there and then I'll let you guys know. I'll figure something out. Oh, there is a dub and Keith David is in it. Oh, cool.

Starting point is 01:03:34 Keith David is 10, ma! That rules. Interesting. Interesting. Interesting. Yeah, okay. Okay. That fucking Gendofucker. Yeah, okay.

Starting point is 01:03:54 I see it. I see it. Interesting. So much. I think Keith David is the best. It's fitting based on what I know what I've seen so far. Cool. So anyway, yeah, we'll reverse this on Twitch and YouTube. What I do with my wig. I just power through an upbeat Spider-Man too.

Starting point is 01:04:17 So, you know, we talked about FF16 a bunch and I had a lot of criticisms, right? And I didn't want those criticisms to negatively affect your experience. And I feel like some people thought that that was. I don't know when you're planning to get to Spidey 2 or if you do, but I don't want any negativity that I have to overshadow the fact that the game is excellent. It's absolutely fantastic.

Starting point is 01:04:44 But there is kind of a death of a thousand cuts thing going on near the end specifically. Where a bunch of very little tiny things start to build up to create like like like stuff like problems. I am aware that there is a nuclear bomb in the form of a costume, but I have not seen said costume. All right, so I'll get to that. I'll get to that in a second. Okay, that's all I know. The first thing is we talked about copyright stuff.

Starting point is 01:05:15 Well, Miles had a mission with Miles that everyone was asking, did you do this mission? It's so emotional. And I'm like, yeah, I did that mission. It was fine, only to find out the reason why I didn't give a shit is because the scene just has no music. If you have streamer mode on, it just has nothing.

Starting point is 01:05:37 Okay, okay. It just has nothing. That sucks. Which really bum me out. Do you want to see the fucking costume? Hey, I mean, cuz, cuz it, cuz, so like, is it just what's the, what's the big deal here? What's what are we talking about? Okay, so you know what, I'll give you context. I'll give you context, okay?

Starting point is 01:06:05 Here's the context. So, there are parts of the game that mandate that you have the quote unquote cannon costume on. So like there's cutscenes where you switch to Spidey's like blue and red with the white spider logo on it because it's really important. Similarly, there's parts of the story where Spidey has to wear the venom suit,

Starting point is 01:06:29 because maybe don't, maybe don't, maybe don't, maybe don't. I'll just talk about it. I won't even describe what it looks like. Sure. And in the finale of the game, Insomniac says, this is going to be our new look for Miles, the same way that blue, blue, red and white Spider-Man logo is for their version of Peter, right? It's their version, right.

Starting point is 01:06:56 And Miles comes on to the fucking camera and I am just gobsmacked by how ugly it is. And they don't let you change out of it. Because it's the important finale thing. So like I really mean this and people who watch the stream saw me react this way. We're having the big fucking throw down against Venom. And it's this big fucking wall, and they cut to miles, and my face goes,

Starting point is 01:07:35 like every time for like three hours. Damn. Damn, okay. I never got used to it. I never got used to it I never got used to it it's so bad okay and they make you it's the worst suit Miles has on his entire list thank you guys I appreciate it I I'm not forgetting okay I guess, I guess, because I, well, I'm like, like if it's the big reveal after for whatever story reasons are such,

Starting point is 01:08:10 then like it's also a bold choice in terms of what they decide to do with it compared to slight modifications. It's bold. Okay, it's bold. Damn. There are other things. So like the, in general,

Starting point is 01:08:26 I don't know how to feel about this. I feel like this is a really minor point, but it affected me more and maybe somebody else's enjoyment. Peter's suits in this game are terrible. The selection, like you remember playing Spider-Man 1 and you would unlock a new suit and you like, whoa, what's this from? Yeah, yeah, yeah. In this case is it's from a movie. It's another red and blue variant from a movie. Oh, this one is Spider-Man 2. This time it's amazing. It has the black part sticks out a little bit more. It's textured. Yeah. And it's like, it's there are every every MCU suit, all nine of them are in the game. Along with all the rainy suits and all of the amazing Spider-Man suits, like movie suits

Starting point is 01:09:13 take up like 50% of his fucking outfits. And like, it's bad. Like, you know what suit I ended up wearing for 99% of the game? The Doctor Octopus won from the end of Spider-Man one. Damn, okay. Right. Yeah, I get, it's interesting how like, you know,

Starting point is 01:09:35 I guess Spider-Man really is that. But like, when you think of Batman and Iron Man, you think of them as like every time I see you, I want it to be new tech. Like it's, it's a part of the idea because you're a tech hero in a way. It honestly kind of reminds me of like the way we talk about fighting games.

Starting point is 01:09:50 And when we talked about Street Fighter V and Street Fighter VI about like, man, I can't wait to see new characters. Meanwhile, there's like a huge proportion of people that are like, if Guile is not in the game, I'm going to just leave. Okay. And it gonna get right. And it feels like, like when I talked about it, people, I saw responses that were like,

Starting point is 01:10:10 yeah, I don't care about any suit other than the rainy Spider-Man two suit, and if that suit's not in the game, I'm not gonna play it. And just damn, shit like that. And I'm like, I don't understand this. Well, I think, I think it's the simple matter that this is the most popular superhero of all time. Boy is it.

Starting point is 01:10:30 So that many opinions are going to be that strong because this is the planet earth weighing in on how they feel about Spider-Man's costume. Can I actually go back to Miles' shit costume for a second? I'm not black. So, I don't know. I have the exaggerated swagger of a black team.

Starting point is 01:10:54 I don't, but I actually need, because he's wearing sneakers and they're a Ditas. And I'm like, that seems like the wrong sneakers to me. That seems like especially in spider verse, isn't he wearing Jordans? Okay. In spider verse, he's wearing J's and in in some the act verse, he's wearing tims, which our New York is fuck. And see the de logo on these shoes Hmm, and I'm like Are they strong is that a deal was a contract signed? No, there's a deal with signed. Okay. Okay, because yeah, it feels like it should be one of those two

Starting point is 01:11:40 Not just because of like it's well, I'm for authenticity's sake, right? That's what matches the vibe, that's what someone of his age in this location, in this particular part of the world would be fucking rocket, you know? People suspect that Adidas designed the whole suit. Oh man, if that's... That's funny to catch you. So Mary. So I want to talk about Mary Jane. You played the first Spider-Man game. And in that first Spider-Man game, there were these Mary Jane sections. And everyone was like, I hate this. And I actually saw an interview with one of the devs yesterday in which they acknowledged that everyone hated the Mary Jane sections.

Starting point is 01:12:27 Oh. And their solution was to jam a bunch more Mary Jane sections into the game. But this time, they're going to show that you can be a hero without powers by giving her a gun. They just give her a gun and it plays like a mediocre third person shooter. All right, and her section still suck, but they have the bonus of making all of the enemies in the game look weak as fuck, because MJ gets like, well, she gets shot in the chest with crossbow bolts and she just pulls them out and then rushes them out and then beats them with a stun gun. And I'm like, this is Craven's elite hunters

Starting point is 01:13:25 from a world away with the technology that can take down scorpion and shocker. And it's like, video game logic has to still rule the day. I can't really, so I have, I have like, I think overall the character of MJ was a little improved, because at least you get to shoot a gun. I think near the back half of the game, they spike her into a trash can. Like they're building her up and she's getting better and they're like, into the trash.

Starting point is 01:14:02 Oh, I thought you made literally, it was like, wait, what? No, no, oh, into the trash. Oh, I thought you made literally it was like, wait, what? No, no, right. Right. Because like, her, there's very little I can talk about this without spoiling it. That's fine. But they keep trying to give her agency and more agency and more agency.

Starting point is 01:14:22 And then she both gives up all of her agency in the stupidest way possible. And then the resolution of her story is so awful that I gasped out loud. Oh wow. And was offended by the game. Like no, like what they did with her didn't offend me. I mean, the actual lines of dialogue associated with her

Starting point is 01:14:49 and the ending hurt my feelings and made me like grossed out. Wow. It is a slam dunk into the trash. I feel bad for like, man, all I can think about is what I've, when people talk about MJ and the comics, I like, the sentiment I've been getting has been like, why the fuck can't they just have Peter be happy with his wife? Why is it always gonna be just like,

Starting point is 01:15:18 they fucking hate each other slash, never again slash, rip him apart, you know, and it's like, oh, the days of them just being all right. I don't know, I'm on forever. Even from the get go MJ's character seems like so poorly realized in this, because she wants to be a real journalist, you know, and working for the newspaper like Peter. And then like in one of the earlier things, Peter's like, oh, your book finally hit shelves and she's like, yeah, like 12 people bought it.

Starting point is 01:15:47 And it's like, oh cool, you are a failed journalist. And everything to do with that sucks. And it's a, it's a. She does get, okay, I will say one thing. MJ does get one really awesome cool moment that they then ruin. Like she gets to like really put it out there and say everything that I've wanted

Starting point is 01:16:18 a Mary Jane character to say in like years. And then they walk it back like five minutes later and you're like, oh, that's really lame. Okay. I feel like there's like, every time there's like a, like a, like a long relationship in the, in the course of like a story that's fucking told over decades of, you know, a, a history in comic books,

Starting point is 01:16:44 everyone's gonna try everything in the kitchen sink, you know, they're gonna throw it all at the wall and then eventually just reset it. over decades of history and comic books. Everyone's gonna try everything in the kitchen sink. They're gonna throw it all at the wall and then eventually just reset it. But the stuff that tends to stick and stand out is no matter how insane and wild these adventures get and how bold and crazy the writers get, most of it can be easily forgotten or dismissed,

Starting point is 01:17:02 but there's some things that stick around. And for example, you know how it's like, oh, the Simpsons has been, was amazing, and then it fucking died. And now it's like, oh, and then it's like, oh, it might be getting better again, but maybe not, and it's weird, and the quality is all over the place.

Starting point is 01:17:17 And like, the thing you hear about is like, remember that fucking one, that weird episode, where like Marge cheated on Homer? Wasn't that fucked up, you know? And everyone's like, remember that fucking one, that weird episode where like, Marge cheated on Homer? Wasn't that fucked up, you know? And everyone was like, oh Jesus, what the fuck did that happen? You know? And like, I feel like, yeah, with MJ,

Starting point is 01:17:34 it's that kind of bit where you're like, wait, they did what? What the fuck are you doing? Yeah, the character has like a long history, but I think like even within the context of just the insomniac shit, it's really weak. Like, the finale of the game starts to go up and everyone's talking and like, here's the plan and I'm saying, God, I fucking hope in between these action

Starting point is 01:17:55 sequence, you don't cut to MJ and have MJ do some useless shit. Oh, here we go. Here's the worst level yet. I was complaining about it. And somebody in the jackos pat, it's like 10 minutes out of the finale. And I'm like, it should be zero minutes out of the finale. It's ridiculous. Um, but enter. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah, that's all I want to say about that. In terms of the spider

Starting point is 01:18:23 manning and the the way those games tend to ramp up is, the fully unlocked kit right before the end is always fucking no. It's a good kit, by the way. It's a good kit. Very excellent. I did 100% like my bar says 100%. You are busted.

Starting point is 01:18:39 But you are super, super busted. Soft locked myself a couple times, one of which was when Miles gets his final ability and you're drowning in skill points, so you're like, I'll go into the inventory and I'll level up the skill to level two before I use it in the tutorial. Softlocked.

Starting point is 01:19:01 Ah, oops. I had to reload it. But I don't have field of venom on this game. So venom's cool as hell and he does a lot of cool venom things and that's great. Looks perfect. Visually no notes. But he's not Eddie Brock and as a result, he's like... He's a space monster.

Starting point is 01:19:32 Like, like it's Tony Todd as space monster. Instead of... Is Venom? Did they do their own thing, or does it play like the new movie in any way, or is it just a completely new vibe? It's a new vibe. Okay. or is it just a completely new vibe? It's a new vibe. What I'm saying is like, so when Eddie Brock is Venom

Starting point is 01:19:50 and there's like Eddie Brock hates Spider-Man and Venom also hates Spider-Man, here we have Venom wants to fuck Spider-Man. And so you heard me talk about last week about how Harry and Peter's shit is like a gay sex tornado um Was that premature that was premature I think somebody summed it up by like the homo erotic subtext between Venom and spider-man has always been there. It is no longer subtext. It is the text

Starting point is 01:20:22 There are there are lines of dialogue in this game's finale that are like, I want to kiss you on the mouth, Peter Parker. I was inside of you, Peter. Let me back in. Yes. Like, and the way that Venom has tentacles that are just always slithering all over fucking Spiderman's like fucking dick and ass.

Starting point is 01:20:39 And shit, it's, it is, it is, it is out of control. To the point, it feels so much like a lovers relationship that there is a point in the game that I just started to lose it. I started to laugh so hard because I couldn't believe how ridiculous it was. Peter calls Harry on the phone to be like, are you still in there, man? And it goes to voicemail. And he starts to cry

Starting point is 01:21:11 and leave him like an ex boyfriend voicemail. And I start to lose it because like, dude, Venom is not going to check his voicemail. I don't check my voicemail. Who are you leaving this fucking message for? You sound like an idiot. Oh, uh, playing a Spider-Man A plus the story of Spider-Man in this game. It's, it's, It's definitely the weakest of the three. Yeah, because I was gonna say the first two, like in the end I was like, I enjoyed that. And I liked Miles a lot, you know?

Starting point is 01:21:55 So I feel like Miles doesn't have anything to do in this game. I feel like Miles gets miss his missions at his school and he can do half of the friendly neighborhood missions and he gets to do the mysterious side stuff. But I feel like for the main plot, Miles has like two things to do and then he does them and then he becomes like a sidekick for the whole, like he, yeah he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, is kind of very like, here's my boy wonder, right? You know, like, but I guess you're saying, like, in plot event-wise, there's just not much.

Starting point is 01:22:55 Yeah, so Miles Gets like, hey, save the Jazz Museum, and Miles Gets help Mysterio out, and Miles Gets go do help odds and ends for the kids at your high school and stuff like that. Meanwhile, Peter is like, I'm being eaten by an alien monster! I gotta stop craving! It's going down, yeah. Okay, okay. You got it. Um, and I remember I was complaining that like the two characters don't actually interact very much for most of the game and when I got to the finale, people were saying, see, see, they're, they're now, they're

Starting point is 01:23:27 doing every mission together. I'm like 75, 80% of the game, they're completely separate to the point where they don't even call each, like Peter doesn't even like talk to him on the phone, like he miles calls him and Peter to just. So I was, I would assume that's to build up the the fucking the combo a little bit But it just ends up like they actually spend very little time together as a Spoda man's No, okay Because I feel like the right way to handle that would be to like you know to like

Starting point is 01:24:00 Have it happen and then split it up and then bring it back a little more and then you know because we know it's what you want So then you got to tease it and you know give a little bit take a little bit All right, fair and wide also the final takeaway is like yeah No, this game had to come out on the day that had to come out because boy It's I just every time I sat down I ran into a bunch of like class C bugs all over the place like they put out a patch The final day that I played the game, which is like they fixed the bug where where Spider-Man turns into a cube. Um, if you play for like six or seven hours, he would just turn into a tiny cube. Um, they should like, oh, if, hey, I, if somebody from M. Somniac can hear me, I would like to extend my condolences because

Starting point is 01:24:48 there is a part of this game that feels like in Somniac got fucked over really bad by Marvel. So there is a spiderverse quest in the game, right? Where, you know, you catch a little spider bots and they all represent various, you know, rare spider mans, right? Okay. And the fucking payoff at the very end of that thing is you get to meet a character that got cut from spider verse during the game's development. So I saw it like who the fuck is is that and people are telling me they only exist on like concept art pages For spider-forsk. They weren't in the movie. Okay, and I'm like so this hole this this thing means nothing and like yeah, it means nothing

Starting point is 01:25:38 Easter egg if you know what it is I suppose I guess Okay, but, bummer. Okay, what's going on and then, or what's going on this week and then let's stick a quick breath in brick? Well actually, I just wanted to talk about Alan Wakes briefly. Okay, can I, can I, can I, can we just, can we just piss? You want to piss? You go piss.

Starting point is 01:26:02 Yes, this time. All right. PPT. One thing about Spider-Man, somebody in chat reminded me of. So the Avengers Tower is in downtown Manhattan. Yeah. And the Avengers Tower in downtown Manhattan, in Spider-Man 2,

Starting point is 01:26:22 it's about as absurd as it can possibly get. You can find Fantastic Four's building. You can find Dr. Stranger's building. You can find Nelson and Murdoch in Hell's Kitchen and the entire third act of the game, you're going, why the fuck does Spider-Man have to be the only person to deal with this shit? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. But that was yeah. So you can, the Avengers building in the previous games though is also that you're like, oh, it's right here. But I guess they're busy saving the universe. It is absolutely ridiculous. I can always take

Starting point is 01:27:11 in that thing out. It is absurd. I just assume it's like, hey, in an alternate reality saving, you know, the entirety of the planes of existence, not home right now. So, you know what's really funny, Willie? You actually get a note from Wong in this game saying, sorry, we were on vacation, we're back now, though. That's a little way through the game. Okay. We're back now though. Out of my little ways of the game. Okay. So like that's where it kind of breaks, where Wong will literally tell you we are back from vacation.

Starting point is 01:27:54 We are in the city right now. Sucks that you gotta deal with what you gotta deal with. It's bad. So, uh, Elmake, so Metal Gear Solid Collection bummed me out. It's not good. It's bad, in fact. It's got some audio, it's got input lag. Ooh.

Starting point is 01:28:18 So I was gonna do that, but now I'm gonna have to look into emulating that shit. So in the meantime, aside, you know what, people are gushing about Elmake too, people are gushing about Alan Wake too. They are gushing real bad about it. So you know what, I never played Alan Wake one. I never streamed it, and we never put out an LP of it. I'll go back to that.

Starting point is 01:28:34 Wait, really? So Matt and I fucked up. Alan Wake one was a lost episode. We were pulling it and then found out that we had never actually hit play on Audacity. Okay. But like you didn't go through it after that or whatever. Not on camera, no, no. No shit. Okay. So yeah, fun. Interesting. I'll go back to it. That game, first of all, that game hits real different now that I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I'm wearing plaid right now. And have been to the locations that Alan Wake is taking place in.

Starting point is 01:29:18 Okay, real weird, really, really weird. Also, yeah, I heard remedy games are fantastic. Really really weird also yeah, I heard remedy games are fantastic. I heard that That this is the one of the most unforgiving if you don't know what happened in the last two games go fuck yourself or go in hard I also heard that I was like how I was talking to somebody like how important is Alamex one and control to to Alan Wake 2 and I was told vital

Starting point is 01:29:49 Mm-hmm. I was including quantum break. I was told that like Alan Wake 2 kind of feels like they thought that you beat Alan Wake last week Okay, okay so I'm going through the first game and wow, did that game age incredibly well. It is still a slick, fascinating shooter that came out from the time where everyone saw Twin Peaks. I just, last thought on that previous bit, I feel like every time I hear about that, whether it's like MGS4 or this or any other franchise that's just unforgiving about new players joining in now, it always boils down to an insanely dramatic cutscene where some character walks on's camera and poses

Starting point is 01:30:45 With a light behind them and you have to be like oh my god, they're here I have just been informed that quantum break features a character that is playable in Allowing to yeah exactly I have Pads up and it's like who is this big mama? Who the fuck Like you know, yeah, okay, okay Faradah um so the the thing you're allowed the tell your story the thing that like so also I don't know if you remember this will the max pain one and two

Starting point is 01:31:25 Also mandatory. Oh, right. Because the character Alex Casey is literally Max Payne. Okay, okay. Um, is, is, hold on, is Max Payne is the book that Alex wrote? I talked about this like two days ago. I have it all. is is hold on is Max Payne is the book that Alan wait wrote I'm I Talked about this like two days ago. I have it all okay Max Payne is not owned by Remedy Right it's owned by Rockstar, but Remedy made Max Payne one and two so when they were making Alan Wake

Starting point is 01:31:58 They wanted to have Max Payne in there But because of no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, me. Okay. Right. So it they are telling you Alex Casey is Max pain. And then in fucking God is it in control? I think they have Sam Lake come on a fucking talk show. And it's like, Hey, man, can you do the face? Do the face, man? And Sam Lake looks at the camera and does the Max pain face because he's the actor who plays Alex Casey in that version. Okay. Okay.

Starting point is 01:32:49 So that's the one place where it's like legally, legally, we have to do what we got to do. But with which Nudge Nudge, it's this pain, go play all five of these series. Yeah. Um, so armchair guy in the chat asked how many games do I have to play before I play Alonwake 2? Well, Max Payne 1 2 3 Alonwake 1 control. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Max Payne 1 and 2, not 3. That was made by Rockstar. Right. Max Payne 1 and 2, Wake Alan Wake's American Nightmare the Xbox Live Arcade game oh my god control quantum break

Starting point is 01:33:30 which is also a show it's also a show so you got to watch card and don't forget the live action mini series bright falls the came out before Alan Wake as a cross media now But now, what about birth by sleep? What about it? What about 352 over 19 days? What a... When does that... So, for real though, you don't actually have to do any of this.

Starting point is 01:34:01 Playing Alan Wake 1 would probably be really important before Alan Wake two, but this is like, do you want all of it? Do you want all of it to happen in your brain? Okay. Somebody points out you and Matt did do in our long video on Alan Wake one. It's in Shit Storm five.

Starting point is 01:34:22 Yes, that was the second attempt at that, not the first one. The first one is in Shit Storm 1 or 2. Um, people telling me, like I don't know, my own bullshit. Anyway, um, you also got to play Alonwake DLCs, the signal and the writer. You also gotta play controls DLCs, including AWE or Alan Wake Expansion. I don't remember what its original name was, but it's clearly supposed to be oops, Alan Wake Expansion. This remedy versus this fucking tentacling

Starting point is 01:35:00 into things that remedy doesn't even own it. So the best one. So the thing that like rules about the quote unquote remedy versus that all their games are really good and play really well. So like Al Lakers 13 years old, it's still a fucking great shooter with a great hook. The hook of I wrote the whole story in advance and I'm finding pages of the script out of order

Starting point is 01:35:28 as your collectible slash story concession, it's fantastic. And also, yeah, I did just watch Twin Peaks right before making the game. Yeah, I've never actually, again, I've never really seen much of Alan Wake. It's a very dark black spot knowledge for me. But I did very much like controls like a deal.

Starting point is 01:35:52 You know, like Alan Wake is a... So like Alan Wake is a... You're not a power person, you're not, you know, telekineses, you're not playing, um... God, do you remember siops the mind, gait conspiracy? Oh boy, I remember siops the mind gait control. Because that's what controls it. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. I'll make it not that. I'll make is is a fucking shooter with

Starting point is 01:36:14 the light with a flashlight. But it's it's got a really cool package to it and a really cool hook. Um, yeah, it's great. I'm excited to have it all fresh in my brain. Oh, also I'm playing the remaster on the PlayStation 5. It's good. It's a good remaster. It's fine. So you're going through remaster and then you're going to start to after I'm going to do remaster one and the DLCs that I'm going to play. I'll in Wakes American Nightmare and then I'm gonna play Alain Wake's American Nightmare and then I'm gonna tell people to go watch the control LP that I did when control came out. And I'm gonna browse Wikipedia for quantum break, or there's a good Xbox over there.

Starting point is 01:36:54 I could play quantum break on that Xbox. Pop that some bitch open. I could do that, but I don't know if I wanna do that. Hey, man. I could do that, but I don't know if I want to do that Hey, man I blew it I blew the dust off and then I got dead space up and running. Oh quantum breaks on steam now Oh, oh, well, I'll just do that then All right, well great.

Starting point is 01:37:25 Hooray. That's pretty much it for me this week was Alan Wake and Spider-Man. If you want to see more Alan Wake this week, go down to twitch.tv slash patsdarezat. I'm also going to do a Halloween stream, which is going to feature the game which has one of the best titles I've ever seen for a horror game in my life. It's called No One Lives Under the Lighthouse. That's pretty good. And I will also be playing a Max Payne like

Starting point is 01:37:58 called El Paso, El Paso elsewhere, in which you play a smooth, hard-boiled, grumbly man who narrates to himself as he plays through Max Payne levels and does lots of pain killers. What's it called? El Paso elsewhere. Okay. It is a tribute game to Max Payne. Like, you know how we call games like spiritual successors? This is not that. Yeah, yeah. This is a tribute game to Max Payne. Like, you know how we call games like spiritual successors? This is not that.

Starting point is 01:38:25 Yeah, yeah. This is a tribute game. It's the whole game is like, man, Max Payne one two are so cool. Interesting. Okay. Cool, cool. El Minato asked, does he bullet time dive? Yes, it's the primary mechanic for shooting monsters.

Starting point is 01:38:44 Is it the do the bullet dodge? Okay. Yeah. I was looking at a couple of other spooky games and loaded up, there's a lot. Faith obviously and shit like that. But I saw a new one called, kill the princess. Slay the princess.

Starting point is 01:39:07 Slay the princess. Yeah. Apparently that game is fantastic. Seems interesting. Yeah, so might take a look at that even. Not too sure if, but that's a possibility. I mean, yeah, I saw overwhelmingly positive reviews. So, seems like. There's not a whole lot with overwhelmingly positive.

Thank you, better help. All right. So this week, stop playing fighting games. Stop right off the bat last week. Stop playing smash this week. Don't play them on the Xbox.

Starting point is 01:51:26 The first thing I saw was, yeah, warning messages, if you have an Xbox that's been updated, you're now being told any third-party peripherals that are wirelessly connected no longer work. And it's confusing because it's like, wait, at first then update happened and people who had third party control is they'd bought just all got error, whatever 0x282 yadda yadda with a message popping up saying using unauthorized accessories compromised. This is your gaming experience. And for this reason, the unauthorized accessory will be blocked

Starting point is 01:52:11 from use on November 11th or November 12th for help returning it. Checked with the story it came from or contact with the manufacturer. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. That's wild. Now, what sucks is, I know that the local FGC spot here has, they had a solution because getting a bunch of PS5s was pretty difficult. So what they did was to get a number of street fighter six setups running, they had a number of Xboxes, each had a Brooks converter, which you could then plug in your PS4 or PS5 or any stick or controller into. And then it would be universal. Illegal.

Starting point is 01:52:58 That solution, which was the affordable way to go for a setup is now pretty much bunk. Reaching out to Microsoft for more information, they did give an update. But was the update still in the rocks? The update was, so here's the thing actually. So, what they seem to imply here is that like, the reason why the error message is popping up is because they're under redoing their entire hardware partner accessories manufacturers, like deals. So anybody, they're making it so that apparently before you could only really use wired controllers and like wireless stuff, like would have to, would be an issue. They're trying to make it so that more controllers and wireless things will work,

Starting point is 01:53:51 wireless and wired, but they have to have a, but they're making a new approval process for that, because apparently, what they're saying is, vulnerabilities if something is connecting wirelessly could perhaps allow something which you know maybe I don't know there's like a jailbreak process or something that can connect through whatever they're discussing but their implication is they're changing the licensing deal to allow more accessories but in order to do that they need to do this part which shuts down the third party accessories and then they go through this new thing, which is going to happen afterwards. I guess.

Starting point is 01:54:29 They're sunsetting your controller. In the meantime, though, certainly everyone who works for a number of third party controllers, like Brooks is like on fire, trying to figure out what the fuck, does this mean that all of our shit doesn't work? And they've basically said that, yeah, they're looking to figure it out as well. But the idea that Microsoft is like, hey, go return your controller is kind of fucking insane. That's ridiculous.

Starting point is 01:55:02 It's, if this is in fact something that is supposed to allow better access for more accessories in the end, then give people a timeline at the very least and maybe don't roll it out in a prohibitive step followed by an opening up step, do it so that it's a seamless transition so that someone who bought something doesn't have a thing that doesn't Um, fuck y'all. Yeah. I saw some people asking the absolutely baffling question of like, why Microsoft update killer instinct if they were going to do this to fighting game players?

Starting point is 01:55:39 I'm like, do you think anyone from any of those two groups has ever spoken to each other ever once? You're right, once. No, these moving parts have no idea that each other exists. Again, I just like, if what they're saying is in fact the intention, why would you do it in the least user friendly way possible?

Starting point is 01:55:59 Because fuck y'all. That's such a fucking dumb move. Microsoft constantly does stupid shit in like anti-consumer ways that you just go, but there's a better way to do this. Like, it's a big ship and it turns slow. That's also out of touch and dumb. I mean, the original will always be the Xbox one

Starting point is 01:56:23 licensing, sharing agents and threads. Oh, that's not the original nightmare. The original is Shinjima Kami being like, original will always be the Xbox one licensing sharing. That's not the original nightmare. The original is Shinjima Kami being like, so how much to get this, this RE4 game on the Xbox and they're like, oh, and they fumbled that shit so bad they left and went to fucking Nintendo across the street. That's the, that's the first one. Oh my God.

Starting point is 01:56:44 I mean, we can, there's something to be said about going back to the fact that Windows ran on the the Dreamcast and their stuff, but like, yeah, at the end of the day, I think, this is probably like if what they're saying is correct, this will probably in the end be fine, but it's just Don't do a two-step rollout with a dead period in between and and you know If you have a controller that doesn't have a fucking like a Refund option because you bought it second-hand because you don't have a a refund option because you bought it secondhand because you don't have a really good. Yeah, you know, or an arcade stick, for example, you know, it's like, yeah, this is stupid. So anyway, um, hey, I want to clarify something I said last week.

Starting point is 01:57:36 We were making fun of Smash and how Nintendo just doesn't want you to play it. Uh, and I think I said something along the lines of like just play, just don't play smash. And people are like, but Pat, there's nothing like smash that's as good. And like, I need to clarify, I didn't say switch to a different game that's like smash. I just said stop playing smash. Okay, well, I'm gonna tell you to check out. Don't. Hey, hey, Rivell's of Aether is pretty fucking good. That's a good video game Yeah, that's all right another one. They're making another one. Can you believe I can because that first one's all right Yeah

Starting point is 01:58:22 so Yeah, so Scullin bones, you know What went Scullin? He lays that on the fucking list this week? Are you serious? You know Scullin bones, you know You know, do you know the story? No, I want to take a guess.

Starting point is 01:58:47 I know some stories about skull and bones. Now it's contract. Because if I say the word by the government of Singapore, and release, if I say skull and bones, what I say, skull and bones, y'all say, scull and bones, delay, till when 2024? Oh my god, dude, they like there I They're

Starting point is 01:59:11 They're so fucked on this one Like they like they Because it can't it can't you they can't just shit it out or else the Singapore will sue them right so or else the Singapore will sue them, right? So, but it has to come out or Singapore will sue them. And like, I'm not a big expert, but I'm under the impression that a company getting sued is one thing, but a company getting sued by a sovereign nation

Starting point is 01:59:39 is a completely different thing, right? Like that's a very, that's a significantly uptick on the lawsuit problem, you know? But like, why is it so hard? They should have like 10 games a year. 10 years, 2013, the game was announced in 2013. It has been a decade. Do you remember when they showed that gameplay of like flying around and beyond good and evil too? And we were sitting next to each other

Starting point is 02:00:18 watching that boy. And I was like, and I said out of my mouth, oh, this is never going to come out. And you went, maybe? And like, oh, bro, I didn't, like, my, look, I mean, I believe that life is long and that long things happen. And things happen in the course of a lifetime. That's all I can say, right? I'm not saying I will be I'm not saying that we will not be closer to the grave than to the crib

Starting point is 02:00:54 When we get our hands on it, but life is long In the meantime, however like everything that you are like any I feel I'm like anything you want to happen is gonna happen in the course of your lifetime in terms of I want to see this friend it'll probably happen bro. It's just you might be Fucking on the way out dude when it's going down fucking okay You're gonna be soft taking ten years to ship a game that they already had most of the bones for right with the black flag This is a black flag spin off. And then like I'm looking at the, I'm looking at shit.

Starting point is 02:01:30 And the RGG devs are releasing two games three months apart with a man with no name and infinite wealth. And I don't know if you know this, but they started on man with no name and infinite wealth. And I don't know if you know this, but they started on man with no name after infinite wealth and they finished it before. The reason why we're even finding this out, of course, is because they had to announce it as a part of the earnings report for investors, because people were wondering what the fuck was going on. it as a part of the earnings report for investors, because people were wondering what the fuck was going on.

Starting point is 02:02:17 Alongside the delay announcement was that another untitled mystery big gate. So something else, something else we don't know about also got bumped. Yeah, you know, it's, it's fucking, I can't believe it. I can't believe it. All right, now hold on a moment because the race for anti-consumer ass behavior to the bottom continues because not to be outdone certainly. Look, I said last week that, like, I think it's awesome that the new PS5 Slim can absolutely add a optional disc drive. That is cool. When you don't have one, because right now I have a Slim that has no disk drive and I wish I could add one. Right? So that's great. What's not great is that apparently the setup requires an online connection to pair it.

Starting point is 02:03:14 So it's not constant. That's just silly. Requiring an online connection. It's just the first time. But for the purposes of having an offline future proof thing, come on. All right. You know, I don't know if what I'm about to say is going to make people mad at me, but I feel like we have completely, completely lost any fantasy that you can have an offline

Starting point is 02:03:41 collection ever again. Like, we make fun of the games that release that are just a goddamn code in a box and you're like, why did I even buy this? But the nature of updates, the nature of day one patches, the nature of all this shit, like everything requires a day one patch now. Like, there is so goofy things of like, hey, do you want to play version of one of Dark Souls

Starting point is 02:04:07 that has the fucked up enemy placement and the shit of your frame rate? Yeah, sure. But like, most stuff is being shipped out under the assumption that you will be updating it. Definitely. And I guess the idea is if you do want to, not even fight against this,

Starting point is 02:04:29 but in a situation where you were offline, it's like, well, whatever you have will run because it's already running. And anything on your steam collection or on your any of the consoles we have was not gonna pastor you about reconnecting to verify any of that shit if it's already sitting there, or if you've put it on one of your like external hard drives

Starting point is 02:04:51 or something you can connect to as a storage device. And I, and I, if I'm trying to remember correctly, but like, God, it's been a long time, but I want to say there was also a point where, um, if you got prompted for, I, I just want to, I hold on. I just want to stop for a second. I said almost everything has to come out. And I saw someone in the chat go, Mario wonder is on the disc.

Starting point is 02:05:19 I'm like, are you talking about the game that I had to update my switch, which is for more to play via the internet? That game? Um, so that's that's actually what I was, what I was just going to say, like I have to, was fuck, I'm, I'm, something give me a piece of what you're thinking of so we can get. I'm sorry. Sorry. Incompliance at some point, I'm trying to remember, and I don't wanna say the wrong thing, but there was, I wanna say somewhere in one of the guidelines in there was like games that would require a firmware update,

Starting point is 02:05:57 where the firmware update would be on the disk if needed, so that you could update it in an offline environment if you were just buying the physical disk. But this is like going back like two generations or so. So, going back to PS3 360 era. But like, and that was a, I'm trying to, yeah, I don't remember the specifics, but I do remember something compliance related for that where it was like making sure that you can still do a firmware update

Starting point is 02:06:28 if you're in an off-line environment by just having the latest version on the disk if needed. But I don't remember the specifics of it. That's a way that you could allow the user to continue to play a game online if they bought a physical copy. And so instead, if Mario Wonder does in fact come with the firmware on the on the cart, which it should, I would then say that the solution to this is to go back to Nintendo

Starting point is 02:06:57 asking you to mail them your copy of Skyward Sword so that they could fix the bug that soft locks you in there. Thank you. PSP. UMDs had hardware, firmware on the UMD so that if you did not have the latest version, but the game required it, you can just put it in and then it would update it hardware with the actual physical media. That's something we definitely, yeah, that's one way to do it, right? You can keep physical media alive by having the firmware required on the disk.

Starting point is 02:07:37 But we're also moving in a place where it's been a slow crawl that is like, yeah, we don't really, we don't have to appease that. In fact, every attempt to give you a streaming service that doesn't let you actually own the data you buy, for example, is a further step away from you not owning the thing than being able to ever play it. I have PT.

Starting point is 02:08:02 I was able to bust PT out this week because my PS4, PS downloaded it. It's physical media. And I kept it on that. And I never removed it and that's why it was fine. Someone else told me that they tried to boot it up the same day as well. They couldn't re-download it because of course you can't.

Starting point is 02:08:23 Even if you had it once upon a time. I remember we first noticed the other way to get PT. Uh, that's apparently not available. Wing, there isn't. Oh, the okay, well... Wing. There was another... There's another way that was involving...

Starting point is 02:08:40 There's somebody who like remade the entirety of PT in Unreal Engine and there's a... And there's a fucking ex-e-x-e Foting around for them But like there there was another like legitish way to get it that was shut down legit ish is a super funny term Yeah You know legit ish. Yeah, I mean, if you stick a USB stick in your GameCube, or not your GameCube, if you stick a memory card in your GameCube, and suddenly the soundtrack

Starting point is 02:09:13 to Smash Bros. changes, that's legit ish. No, it's a lot of Smash Bros. And as we've discussed, stop. Okay, fair enough. You are breaking the law. But yeah, this is not me advocating for the loss of collectible media or the loss of being able to have a completely physical thing.

Starting point is 02:09:36 But I can't remember the last game that I have played that did not at some point get patched. Like, it's just the reality now. I just accept that like, I'm willing to accept that an unpatched shitty version of the game if I'm in a log cabin in the woods by myself is what I got to deal with. But if I bought it, I want to be able to at least

Starting point is 02:10:03 fucking boot it. The version where you literally cannot use the thing you know this thing where they give you the disk and then ask you to download a bunch of shit anyway ridiculous The online requirement is involving the Blu-ray disk association because of movie rights. Because movies! I see. Okay, so yeah.

Starting point is 02:10:29 Well, yeah, that, so that makes more sense. And now that just reminds me that if I'm not mistaken, Sony is the owner of the Blue Ray, continue a conglomerate group. Remember when people bought movies on discs? Crazy. Yeah, okay, that checks out. That checks out.

Starting point is 02:10:50 Anyway, I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need to return to the PSP. We need to return to the ways of the UMD. Wolley, the UMD, I don't know anyone who bought PSP games, dude. I got a physical copy of the Spurts Within somewhere in this house. Yeah. And any case, um, no, it was Universal Media Desk. Yeah. In any case, no, it was universal media desk.

Starting point is 02:11:29 It was universal media desk. That was only used for one device ever. Well, speaking of handhelds, a Nintendo patent showed up a filing that shows a device that apparently was made in November of late last year. Nintendo has a handheld machine that can split into. So it looks kind of like, well, I'd say a DS, but it's kind of like a switch with another switch attached

Starting point is 02:12:07 to it, really. Like on top or like, oh yeah, here, take a look. Yeah, I like to look at this. It's a, let's see, what am I looking at here? That just looks like a big, mother fucking DS. Yeah, and I don't think this is coming out in any way that is like switched to necessarily. I think it's something that's not happening,

Starting point is 02:12:33 but it was. It was. Oh my God. It's a PSP go. But it looks, it basically according to the filing details as well, it's a handheld machine only. So there's no hybrid or like docking capabilities on it. The top screen can face outward. And yeah, in theory, you could have multiple people play, you know, together. That's right. That's the new new Nintendo 40s.

Starting point is 02:13:09 If it can actually split and have people play like two screens for themselves, like that's pretty sick. I think marketing a video game device, probably at like young kids and teenagers that can split in two so you can lose half of it, might be the best money making decision ever made. But I also think it's very Nintendo to be like, let's just make two of them and attach them together. And now has a different thing than it does. Hey guys, we saw that you guys were playing old games that

Starting point is 02:13:52 had been remastered on the Nintendo Switch. And we said, man, fuck that and fuck you, we need to create an entire new generation of games that can never be ported to anything just like the Nintendo 3DS was. Hey those emulators figured out how to get two windows on top of each other eventually. Dude, dude, the like you're doing vertical. Oh, yeah, fucking at 16 by 9, it's terrible. Oh, oh, trust, I did it, I figured I did. Yeah, I know. I committed to that. Somebody in the chat says it's easy.

Starting point is 02:14:32 Yeah, it is easy. I'm saying it sucks because of the aspect ratio. Yeah, I mean, look, Ducapon, we figured some stuff out. Like, men was able to make it work, but Jesus Not not ideal, but yeah, I do The I expect yeah, this could be just like a prototype thing, you know if it's kind of leaking out like this, but Who the fuck knows this is definitely not what I expect switch to to be though. I This is not I don't think this is connected in any way.

Starting point is 02:15:11 Dude, all I want is a version of the Switch that plays existing Switch games at like better versions in person. Better for me. Like that, like a minor upgrade. Like have you, have you seen Age of Calamity? Like, it is hilarious. So, the OLED model added the Ethernet port and to change the screen, but like, there is no docked performance change whatsoever. Nothing.

Starting point is 02:15:49 Man, like even if you had to do it like docked only, you know, like make sure that the low end portable version is what it is. And then when you dock it, you can just make it so that it goes, it can do more. Like that would be, I would, I would take that. That would be fine. Um, okay. Well well in any case. So you got that. I was, I said birth by sleep earlier,

Starting point is 02:16:14 but there legitimately is a new Kingdom Hearts that has been announced. It looks very impressive. The missing link. Yeah, so it's an Android iOS mobile kingdom hearts and then I clicked a trailer and I looked and I'm like, oh, but that looks like what Kingdom Hearts is, right? Finally, there's a Kingdom Hearts game

Starting point is 02:16:32 to bridge the gap between the two other Kingdom Hearts games. Has anyone been able to piece together when this takes place just based on sure someone has? Okay. Um, well, yeah, you got your Mickey Rapunzel, Winnie the Pooh, Sora, Riku, etc. I guess the, like, is this, is this, I imagine Kingdom Hearts is one of those franchises too, where like if a new thing is coming out, then it means like, oh, like, at the very least, you know that the legal paperwork, the ink is still wet, you know, so there's always the possibility of more big things coming out.

Starting point is 02:17:19 I still can't believe Kingdom Hearts, like, put out so many games, like it's the most complicated fucking rights kerfuffle. Yeah, but it's probably, like the many- Yeah, probably big money. Most probably. So, like, it's like whatever rights you have to figure out, fucking do it, right? Like super robot wars is the perfect example of like, to sell this to who? We have to go through this legal trouble of getting like 15 companies to get along to sell it to fucking Josh

Starting point is 02:17:48 Mall, no, they need no maybe do all this fucking sell it to Kingdom Hearts fans or as I'm creating in my head anime juggalos right sure chillaxing Jay and what one other person here I did like mine who you turn Kingdom Hearts fans into amy juggalos What what is the combination oh oh because Because when you said big money I'm like yeah Disney man is looking at Kingdom Hearts and going this is just as good as big money rustlers And then I thought about the clowns and the face paint and the Disney and I'm like there it is By the way

Starting point is 02:18:39 Update big money run big money rustlers update if you wanted one Big money, big money restless update if you wanted one. Fuck. Hahaha. Just in case, in case anyone was wondering, we got, we got to know, we got a very important update here. Oh my God. Alright, so Violet J has confirmed that Shaggy Tudope did, in fact, go for a dropkick on Fred Durst live on stage, but when he went for the drop kick

Starting point is 02:19:08 he was doing it specifically to whiff he wasn't attending the hitter. Oh shit! He got pretty fucked up. He also confirmed that Shaggy Tudor was super fucking blackout drunk at that time. No that's not bullshit, that's real. But he got up there and fully intended to just do a little wrestling style drop kick because as anyone who's familiar,

Starting point is 02:19:36 who's down with the clown with no, as anyone who's part of the family would know, they had a wrestling stint as well. So a drop kick is a part of the repertoire. ICPs wrestling league was called champion shits wrestling. That's right, I was called champion shit wrestling. So you know, straight from the clowns mouth. We have confirmation that the drop kick was intended to with. It was intended to be K-Fame. And of course, Fred Durst didn't even know what happened because he turned around and walked away while it was, you know, mid drop kick.

Starting point is 02:20:17 Big update, very important, very big update for those of you who are not Keeping track where up day of violent J He is an incredibly supportive father and huge ally to the furry community No, but right on Okay family Look man cleaning out Family! Look, man. Cleaning out the fucking Faggot off a first suit. Could you imagine?

There you go Awesome if we get we get fucking Jamelee Curtis at Evo for fighting games purposes supportive parent get in there hell yeah That's it All right, there you go. That's that's that's your, your, your firmware update, your ICP.

And then as I got older, it was was like yeah, juggles are all right Still out there still do know what match it's on but yeah, I hear no all right Great Malenco Yeah

Starting point is 02:22:01 All right All right, uh, uh, uh, yeah, Kingdom Hearts, some stuff. Oh, oh, and speaking of champion shit wrestling, of course, uh, we have a very Canadian update.

PJ Phil is now an indie wrestling super tag team. So PJ Phil has three life stages. PJ Phil has the life stage of being the zone. The snake on the zone.

PJ, Fille version three is wrestler. shanksung stage. J fill version three is wrestler. Now tag team champion of what leads some indie bullshit. So yeah, the YTV is our our, not cartoon network, but what would the, I don't know what the fuck it is. Is it, yeah, like, I don't know what would the,

Starting point is 02:24:11 I mean, I guess a mixture of cartoon network but also Fox kids, but also, it's like whatever my cartoons. But where did you, where did Americans watch their cartoons with a live action part? I don't know. I actually don't know. Nickelodeon Nickelodeon Nickelodeon. Thank you.

It had a bunch of PJs program jockeys and every morning at 5 a.m. uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh Ashna, um, uh, Paul, I don't remember Paul, you know, PJP. Yeah, PJ Paul was the breakfast soda. Mm hmm. Um, Paul was nice and you know, have that gross. I got to take a quick break.

Starting point is 02:25:13 But before I go, for those of you who are unaware of PJ Phil or those of you who are, um, I have told a lot of stories about my family on this podcast. a lot of stories about my family on this podcast. If you are unclear as to the specific brand of Rattail Shitbag that my brother is, go find clips of PJ Phil on YTV with SNIT because that's who I lived with in my household. He was just ginger instead. You could also go watch gamers with a Z or the anti-gravity zone, the comic book show.

Starting point is 02:25:52 Oh, not familiar about that. They had YTV had their comedy, had their comic book show and then they had a gamer show as well. It was all PJ. All right. I got to go back. I got to use the white shirt. The episode is the dog.

Starting point is 02:26:04 So I'll be go back. I'm gonna use the one of the episodes of the dogs. I'll be right back. Before we continue, I need to apologize. I have peanut butter and toast. I'm hungry. I'm so hungry. Make use of your mute button as liberal. I'm gonna do it. I'll have a mute button actually. Peanut butter is, oh, you should get one. They're pretty good. By their like, you just do this and all of a sudden, whoop up.

Starting point is 02:26:29 That hey, look at that, I'm back. No, so while you chow down breaking news, actually, breaking news, the breaking is, actually breaking news the breaking is so yeah as of about two hours ago hey guess what everybody's fucking laid off. Bungie is letting go a whole lot of people and a bunch of employees have taken to social media and are basically letting people know that there's a lot of layoffs going on. They don't know how many just yet, but they're letting go a whole lot of employees

Starting point is 02:27:14 and they've also announced that alongside that Destiny 2 expansion, the final shape is delayed till 2024 and Marathon is now delayed till 2025. So, yeah, you know, the cycle. Remember 18 months ago when you got bought by Sony and they literally put out a press release that said this will not result in my office. Step one, company gets bought, step two, company gets gutted, step three, company gets bought step two company gets gutted step three company gets taxidermied and put on the shelf in a ghastly form forever more

Starting point is 02:27:52 We know the deal we know how this goes to that marathon games gonna like like bare bones as hell if it does Yeah as hell if it does. Yeah, not much other information except for those details right now because it's literally happening as we speak. But yeah, I'm sure. And then in similar vein, I suppose, with speaking of things shutting down, Yoko Taro's error game reset on mobile, the game where Sega's the villain is shutting down after less than a year. I didn't even know that came came out. Yep, nine months ago. Didn't even know it came out.

Starting point is 02:28:56 So, I mean, hey, at the end of the day, I suppose, Yoko, you did it. You managed to, you got paid and you made a game where Sega, you got in Sega to pay for a game where they are the villains of the world and that they need and they need to be defeated. So sure are safe. Again, boys. Yeah, there will of course just like as expected will be a shutdown update with if you bought any gacha shit. Here's your refund options. Here's your, you know, in-game currency refunds and or things that you can't refund because

Starting point is 02:29:44 there's always a step of obfuscation where you can see if you if you if you buy bath bath mode ads then you can you can turn your bottom dads into a pixie dust um bottom dads will be refunded but pixie that I still think one of the funniest things ever is that we're like 15 years out and Every time somebody wants to make fun of some bullshit fucking collectible garbage Like bath mo dad is still the the word I hear the most often Star Fox adventures fucking stupid It's the best. It's the best one

Starting point is 02:30:18 Like I did not play that game at the time that that Pettier arcade strip came out and like that word is so insane. It's it's it's fucking glubshittow, right? It's just it's it's it's big JRPG MxSort guy like it's it's fucking sounds like a fat ass parody name for a collectible but it's real. It's so real and that's the shocking insane part is you literally had to go collect fucking buff of dads Which I called bath mode ads for years. Yes exactly Anyway, you know, it's it's shutting down and Rip to the game that was called error game reset 404

Starting point is 02:31:04 All right Let's take some letters. You want to send a letter, oh fuck, no, you have to do it. I'm peanut buttered up. I did. Stop. Just if that's okay. Don't you, you're fucking your peanut butter. I'm peanut buttered.

Starting point is 02:31:13 Just hold. I'll crack it out. CastleSuperBeastmail at gmail.com. CastleSuperBeastmail at gmail.com. Let's see. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, we got breaking news from Capcom. In a recent Capcom R&D presentation, it clarified its stances on mods and PC gaming. It considers mods equal to cheating,

Starting point is 02:31:37 and it's worried that mods that violate public order and morals will cause them PR damage. Don't surprise if you see takedowns from the first time you've seen a lot of mods and PC gaming. It considers mods equal to cheating and it's worried that mods that violate public order and morals will cause them PR. Don't surprise if you see takedowns from them. Oh, is this coming out the same day that tabs MVC fucking put out an amazing monster hunter in Marvel 3 combo video? The same time that we saw Nero's latest update where he can do fucking uh uh uh streak and exceed in the Marvel 3 uh version is that so? No, that's not the same thing as somebody saw the Chun Lee naked Titty mods for Street Butter.

Starting point is 02:32:20 But the Titty mods were there for much now. No, they only saw them now. No, they saw them on stream when that one tournament actually clicked on a titty mod, live on stream, and forgot to unload them. A couple, I want to say maybe a month or two ago, there was a news story where someone was observing an online tournament and left a titty mod on. That's, that's, that's been a thing. What I specifically got today was an update on the Marvel 3 Community Edition with Monster Hunter looking fucking incredible. That was as well. He could do his palm breaker loops. Okay, so there's something else to make fun of Capcom about. What's going on?

Starting point is 02:33:06 You're familiar with the RE engine. Yes. Reach for the moon. That's right. RE for the moon engine. It is now going to move to the Rex engine. That's the reach for the moon at a next engine. So the R-E-H to the moon next engine.

Starting point is 02:33:43 It's the Rex engine! It stands for Reach to the Moon next, obviously! Uh... yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh... I love it. I love it that all these years later we're still here. You know? I don't know why.

Starting point is 02:34:04 Like... I kinda thought that, well, we'll never get anything the likes of Wubba Wubba. I'm in the pink today, you know? The old, the good old days of this apostrophe S, the stuff. But, uh, no, because as you said, we have this. And just last week, shout outs to the last shooting. We'll eat the best part of fucking classic. So we have a large amount of people to listen to this podcast. And there's a subsistence of a lot of people in this audience live right now. I'm not fluent with Japanese, I know a little bit, right? I'm under the impression that abbreviating reach to the moon next as next is our Rex makes no sense under any language context.

Starting point is 02:34:56 Like the letters are chosen at random. Yes, well, this is what you have to understand. The letters are chosen at random pad. They're not chosen based on abbreviation, nor are they chosen chosen it their lit at random is correct This is exactly it. Yes. There's only one thing though. We can take away from them calling it the Rex engine And that is they are working on a monster hunter game right now clear and they want to be able to say that the new monster hunter game is powered by the Rex engine. As opposed to the Dino crisis game is powered by the Rex engine. I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is either. I don't know why I said it. I apologize. You know what? You know what's going to be really funny when a person says, because we saw that in slide show for him

Starting point is 02:35:46 If somebody comes out and goes no no dumbasses. It's not the Rex engine. It's the re cross engine It's reach for the net crossed Reach for the exo primal no the exo primal? No, don't. You sure you don't want to? We're really fucking sure. I got a free code. You sure you don't want to? I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Starting point is 02:36:17 Exo primal's the only game I have ever, ever, ever had somebody like try and offer me codes like four times in my email. I have like a chain of emails from the PR person going, Hey man, that's a primal and I never responded to any of them. Hey, man, yeah, like that's cool. That's cool. Well, anyways, you guys love your stuff. Hey, Capcom. I love you, Capcom. Make good video again. Yeah. Anyways you guys love your stuff Do you what would you please would you

Starting point is 02:36:58 You got that can I get my separate ways code do you want to exoprym one with it? No Okay, okay fine here it is here it is here it is just enter these digits into your place What are you doing? God damn it So I, I, I, there's people that really enjoy Exoprimal and I, I, good, good on them. But like Capcom is like overwhelmingly putting out like gills that get, about to get fired energy. Every time they talk to you about Exoprimal.

Starting point is 02:37:39 The old wolves are an Exoprimal. Yeah. Oh, please, oh geez. Could you please take a look at Exoprimal? Oh. Oh, um, and then I guess another mini story here. It's real simple, but like the other day when I was talking about the crazy cost of MK DLC and then it was like yeah, Street Fighter not doing it much better with their fucking worry, man prices and and and the Ninja traveltles. And then ruin the whole conversation. And then everybody shut up. You can argue all you want about the $10 fucking characters or packs or whatever clear the table. Here is a $12 fatality. It's a Halloween one.

Starting point is 02:38:26 They kick your head into a pumpkin and it hits a front door. Get in there. Amazing. I mean, like, talk about, but that is really knowing your audience in that you're like, we have the attention of the entire community. Yeah, no. Like, so they're like, hey, Ed, how much do we charge?

Starting point is 02:38:49 This is a fantasy story. I do not know any of the people involved before I continue. Hey, Ed, how much should we charge for the shitty Halloween valetality goes, ah, $12. Ah, fuck it. They'll buy anything, those fucking sluts Ah There's secrets still in MK2 I'm sure that's an accurate power phrase of how the board meeting what there's an email change somewhere now now now Again, there is like you can count down on the clock. People still care about MK for the next three.

Starting point is 02:39:30 Yeah, that's right. You're, oh, oh, oh. Give it a take. We can squeeze you a little out there. You can just have it all come out yet. So who know? They're gonna have me, yeah, or in there, whatever the fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Starting point is 02:39:48 True true true true true two couple a couple months. We got a couple months of deal fuck I mean that's correct the people excited about fucking Fucking world combat are the people that I'm scrolling past on tick-tock that are going to army man is so peak Oh on TikTok that are going to army man is so peak oh can't be beat I mean like I'm not gonna pretend that I just a sleek low diff I want to see what Decay does gonna do and I haven't seen a peacekeeper. Yeah, peacekeeper. But I imagine funny John Cena bits will happen. Oh, man. Should I even ask about what?

Starting point is 02:40:41 Oh, you don't know, okay, well, yeah. There isn't an entire genre. Okay. So when we were when we were younger, you'd have the anime music video, which where you throw the Lincoln Park on and the goku and Vegeta and you'd edit it to make it one of them look really strong. Now a days, the kids have to do everything faster. So instead what what you're gonna get is a fucking, oh god. Let me see if I can remember one of the shittier ones. Escanor versus all the phases of Luffy per year with the shittiest rap beat on in the background, going at like a million miles per ever

Starting point is 02:41:23 and it'll just pop up the year and use a single clip of some weirdo name Eskador with a fucking red mustache and as the beat gets more distorted and fucked up and then everything is like, would he be able to beat this version of fucking loofy? Low difficulty, low difficulty, medium difficulty, no, oh my god, oh fuck, it's so trash. Low diff, low diff, okay, okay, gotcha. Yep. That's gonna work in Glyzzy Gulp Goku to hell, low diff. On God, no cap.

Starting point is 02:41:58 Okay, so my reference point on that was Motherfucker's getting deep into Mugan to solve these arguments. Oh, I know. Just make it, just make a fucking terrible. Just, just take, oh god, just take a club beat and then slow it down by 90% so that the voice is really cool and distorted and then kick the bass up on it so that the whole thing is Unintelligible as you you overlay it on top of your power ranking of fucking Jiu Jitsu kaisen characters Okay is the and and and is the person talking also They are not talking no No one is talking. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Starting point is 02:42:49 That's a genre called funk. There's another one. That's something I've ever did. Damn. Okay. Because the energy of what you're putting out also makes me think of Like anyone who's like talking or or or describing whatever is happening is doing so in a low-quality microphone No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Services Fair enough. Okay. Okay Because the

Starting point is 02:43:35 Volume warning punchline era is I feel like we're no I can I there's we're just coming out of that fog and I I've managed to dodge most of it, but there's still one posted one on Twitter. It's one of my one of my one of my mutuals posted a fucking version of this on Twitter. I am now going to go fall find it for you. You will not get out of this podcast before seeing this garbage. Loud equals funny. Loud equals funny. It's true. It's true.

Starting point is 02:43:59 Loud, distorted ear hurting is this hilarious. It's so funny Damn it and and like Anyway, I just it yeah Like there's the there's the times where you see like like a stuff here. There's just there's the That shit like ruins my it fucking it's like cuz you know there's times where you're like oh this is this is otherwise a high effort funny bit or the animation work put in here is

Starting point is 02:44:39 pretty good but did it have to destroy my ears to get the fucking punch line across? I just, okay. I, I, I, I literally asked you to watch your ears destroyed. I've just found it. This is, this is a perfect example of this horrible metric. It uses FF 14 for extra cringe. I will put it in the chat. It is 11 seconds. I have my browser muted so that it doesn't play while we see that you

Starting point is 02:45:17 doesn't play over the podcast. That's good. That's good to do. The best FF14 antagonists. Okay. Okay. Imagine a base distorted hyper fucked up rap track over this. Okay. This is this is low diff. Okay? This is low diff. Okay, every variation of this fucking meme is either

Starting point is 02:45:50 a ranking or a versus. Okay, that's phenomenal. Okay, everyone shut up. That's amazing. Fuck off. That was great. Damn. Perfect Alexander sweeps. Okay, all right, you know what? You know what? You're not you're not anti-cellen be here, man. That's You know what? You know what? You're not anti-cellen. Be here, man. That's... Listen, maybe these kids are out to something. If you want, that's pretty fucking good.

Starting point is 02:46:30 If you want to hurt your brain and just dive into what the new version of crawling is. I've mentioned it three times on this podcast before. It's fucking Katy Perry's extra terrestrial remixed with Lil Nas X. God, what's the one reason the jail? Extra terrestrial, would remix with Lil Nas X. God, what's the one where he's in the jail? Um, God, what the fuck is it?

Starting point is 02:46:53 It starts with Day Trip, took it to 10. What's the, ah, what song was that? Fuck. I'll never remember now. Industry baby, yeah. You wanna see Katy Perry, oh, Extra Ter now. Industry baby, yeah. You wanna see Katy Perry, Extra Terrestrial,

Starting point is 02:47:05 and Industry Baby is the new crawling, particularly for kids who like fate. Oh, okay. Okay. I mean, yeah, you know, major pop culture song mixed with front leading major. And if you wanna look, if you wanna make it really cool, you need to slow it down so that it sounds like shit.

Starting point is 02:47:34 Well, at least now the preferred format is for TikTok. So it's like gonna be as brief as fucking possible. You're gonna get in and out. Yeah, no, dude, I said the reason I scroll TikTok on my phone is because I need memes faster and faster. And it will deliver them to the point on this one. I mean, yo, perfect Alexander point made 12 seconds that are out. Can't complain.

Starting point is 02:47:58 All right emails one coming in. From someone asked, but the memes are shitty. All memes are shitty. They're like hot dogs. Sometimes they're bad for you. Give more. But sometimes you walk them perfectly shitty and other times it does damage. You ever had a veggie dog? No, bro. I think this is the only time I get to sit here and actually bring up the fact like, Wolly, we've known people who are vegan or vegetarian or whatever, Ovo pescatarian or whatever you write.

Starting point is 02:48:41 And they've offered you a food and they go, it's just like meat you won't be able to tell the difference. I want to spit in that person's fucking face. Maybe you can't because you have an eating a hot dog in 12 years. Everyone can always tell the difference. Yeah, I've gone into this bit on Wally versus the algorithm before, but it is vegetarian food is a lot like Wii games. I don't want you to emulate the better version of the thing that I can already have over here. Yeah, I don't want a cauliflower hamburger.

Starting point is 02:49:27 I don't want your veggie meat. I want you to... How about you make me like a bean and rice Indian dish? You're delicious. Your gyro use your features to create unique things that are amazing about vegetables and do things that are not just trying to copy the superior clearly already existing meat of things over here. Use your own thing to do something amazing,

Starting point is 02:49:51 which a couple of places very few do. And as like with a family that's vegetarian and stuff, I go out to eat vegetarian places. And I've tried a bunch of places where they do amazing, unique things, but a lot of places just try to imutate meat. And it's like, stop it. I have fancy fake meat. places where they do amazing, unique things, but a lot of places just try to imutate meat, and it's like, stop it. That sucks.

Starting point is 02:50:07 I have fancy fake meat, and I've, like, I would put the shittiest, low-effort salad from your local Lebanese joint over the most expensive fake meat product that white people can create. I've also had incredible grilled vegetables. I've had the other day, me and Punch Mom went out and we had this cabbage that was like every layer

Starting point is 02:50:37 was kind of baked and glazed and then there was like creams and pomegranates and like honey's and all kinds of amazing things going on. And you just, it was such an amazing, delicious vegetable-based thing and fruit-based thing. And it had, and it was its own thing. And it wasn't trying to be something else, you know? And like, whenever we complain about

Starting point is 02:51:00 like the shitty motion control games, it's because they're trying to replace a function and controller in your hand, when you can make a thing that's dedicated towards your unique things and thrive in that world. It's straight up that I hate that part of it. It sucks. Anyway, Cal would eat you if they could.

Starting point is 02:51:23 I'm just saying, They'd do it. I've seen it. I've seen it. We got one coming in from Julian who says, dear shines bark and space jump. Nice. Last week you asked why Nintendo was so weird and flip floppy about smash.

Starting point is 02:51:38 I think I have an answer. Um, They've been flip floppy at all. And it's about watching the flow of capital. During the last time they sent a cease and desist to a tournament, Patrick Kleppick on remap explained that as a, at a, explained it as a community management issue, they don't like or don't care enough to invest resources

Starting point is 02:51:57 into a competitive scene. They can have some control over leaving it legal, leaving the legal team the only ones to stop what Miyamoto sees as that displeases him. Meanwhile, if a new game is coming out, the legal team the only ones to stop what Miyamoto sees as that displeases him. Meanwhile, if a new game is coming out, the marketing team can swoop in and funnel money into promotion for Splatoon or Ultimate, but then when it runs out, you're back to avoiding the eye of Soron. That makes sense, honestly, yeah. If you were, yeah. So you can only play our game at a public

Starting point is 02:52:22 venue when it advertises the new sales of our game. After that die. It's part of the marketing budget. Once marketing, yeah, that makes perfect sense. Once we no longer really care about the marketing or any DLC, things going on, then whatever. Yeah. And the whole thing with, you know, obviously long tail community-based games is like, well, we like the thing we want to keep playing it but the worst is when you have to come in and pull the old game out of their hands and be like no Play new thing, you know Yeah

Starting point is 02:52:58 Smash is a smash is an absolute weird like like What's the word? Anomaly, in that, like, everybody just, no, we're gonna play the old one. Now we're gonna play the old one. Now we're gonna play the old, like, and it doesn't look like they're gonna move on anytime soon.

Starting point is 02:53:17 So every all of this is always just super weird. But it's, again, it is an anomaly because it is the Oscars of fucking video games. Like, yes, Nintendo can come in and push Splatoon and they'll have a competitive scene fuck there was an arms competitive scene I met some of the folks and did an episode on it, you know, but smash has Sora like You know like it's like it's a different it means something different. It's like in the same way that Fortnite means something different Yeah, All right. Anyways, not to just fucking spiral again. Here's one coming in from

Starting point is 02:53:53 from Marcus who says, would you happen to have any great examples of veto power being used for good or evil across media? For example, Toriyama being told to make sell the villain in DBZ. Good. And the studio who wanted digital over practical effects for the thing, 2011 dog shit. I think Rick was at Rick Attello. I can't remember. But the EA person who saw Anthem and was like this sucks except for that flying part that flying stuff is cool Correctly identified the only part of the anthem that was like worth any value whatsoever It it got me to pay attention. I ironmaning through the skies would made me go damn. I want to do that though I have one, the writer and a sort of team on MGS4,

Starting point is 02:54:50 hearing what Kojima was planning for the ending of MGS4 and going, no, not gonna do it, not gonna finish the game if that's the ending. Is that how that went? I forget to detail. Yes, they just refused to do it. Yeah, the ending. Is that how that went? I forget the details. They just refused to do it. Yeah. The ending of MGS4 was supposed to be minor spoilers for the alternate ending of a game

Starting point is 02:55:13 that came out in the odds that Otacon and Snake would be tried and executed as war criminals. And their role in history for cotton. Philatron. And the entire team was just like, no. No, change it. Not gonna fit, we're not gonna finish again. If you don't change it. Damn.

Starting point is 02:55:35 I imagine after a long stressful meeting, Kojima went outside and smoked a fake cigarette. Went and was phone and be like, his famous person talked to me on the phone. Pfft. I, maybe this movie star. Wow. Yeah, and I was gonna say, I think probably Miyamoto

Starting point is 02:55:59 on a regular basis. He was right about the heads with Metroid. He was, he was right. Vizers. Yeah. Just, you know, all that shit. Um, I imagine more will come in any honestly. We continue to move on. Well, the answer is anyone that we, that is the author, right? Mm-hmm. Any of the franchises we know we're in, we it, where there's one person that is like at the helm, that is like this is the way it is. You know what, somebody should have vetoed the Gooch

Starting point is 02:56:33 and told him not to blow $100 million on that Hawaii office. Okay, and nearly pay Crop Square in excelsion that doesn't that. I know that Scorsese and Tarantino are both like you do not get to modify a single word of dialogue in my script at any point ever. You do it exactly as told and the only person who ever has an exception is Sam Jackson. Who's like Sam Jackson. He gets to play around a little bit, but literally not a single human being on this planet

Starting point is 02:57:06 is allowed to modify any of those scripts. I've seen a lot of people say, please do not call Hanronobo Sakaguchi the Gooch. To the Nate, we've been Goochin for years. I've been doing it for a while. We've been Goochin for years. Where the fuck were you? Ungooched.

Starting point is 02:57:27 You know who? You called me. I called Vito Power for Good. I opened up FF9 and I believe I called it the final Gucci. That's good, that's all I like that. You know who used their power for good? The CEO and founder of Costco.

Starting point is 02:57:44 When the board came back and said we need to increase the cost of the hotdog. Yes. And he said, you change the cost of the hotdog, I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you.

Starting point is 02:57:57 I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you. I love. I love how that story keeps the verbiage intact.

Starting point is 02:58:07 Like, it is crucial not just to hear that the CEO refused to do it, but to hear the exact quote that he said. I will kill you. Incredible. Incredible. Not no stutter. Incredible, incredible. Not no stutter. Just, yep. Done and done. Next, next item.

Starting point is 02:58:32 Oh, fuck. All right. Happy I will eat them. I'm, uh, words great. Happy I will. Happy, happy, happy Halloween. Is that the end of the fucking podcast? That's just going happy, happy, happy Halloween?

Starting point is 02:58:55 I'm tired of it. I'm trying to not show it. Okay, guys, don't eat any syringes with your candies. That never actually happened except for the one time where it was the actual parent that did it. No, no, Wully, I'm telling them not to shoot heroin and go trick or treating. Oh.

Starting point is 02:59:30 Thank you.
