МУЗЫКАЛЬНАЯ ЗАСТАВКА That's a lot of fun. That three days after the last podcast, there would be enough things to go right back in. I'm going to assume everyone. I remember only a specific person last week. I saw some fly by in the chat when I was one we were doing it. And it's like, what's Wednesday already? Why not just wait an extra day and do it right after the game awards. And it's like, yeah, yeah.

So I mean, that that certainly helps. But even outside of like, I assumed, you know, it's like, bro. Yeah, yeah. Brrr. So I mean, that that certainly helps, but even outside of like, I assumed, you know, it's like, okay, there's gonna be a bunch of things going on from the TGA's, but even outside of that, like, just as we're starting now, I'm like scrambling to read about the day before, because I'm like, I'm like, what day before? Because I'm like, I'm like,

I'm like, what the fuck is this? What happened entirely within the last news cycle? You know, and it's like, it seems like it's happening like right now and like there's updates and articles and things coming out about it. And I'm just like, what the fuck is this game?

And I'm looking at it and it's like, okay, so this is this MMO shut down. And I go to look at the video, the trailer for it. And it's just the most generic derivative looking. Why would anyone want to play this ass looking thing ever? Maybe I'm just fucking out of touch. But like, what the fuck is any of this? So, um, the game war is a great time to talk about this.

Willie, you and I have some level of expertise, but no one's perfect, right? But it's become extremely clear that many, many, many, many people don't have a skill that we have spent years accumulating. And that is looking at a trailer don't have a skill that we have spent years accumulating. And that is looking at a trailer and going, that is a fucking fake video game. I remember the last time you got it wrong was Anthem.

I remember when that very fancy Anthem trailer was being shown off with the flying and Matt and I sat there and go that is fake a shit And you went not looks cool and that was the last time I ever had that interaction with you I want I like iron man suits, right? I'm a sucker for our minsters Over the past week that that pretended they were a real video game and you look at them and you're like That is a fake ass CG trailer that's pretending just like the killzone days. Yeah, there's become a record days There's a more there's become a recurring bit where like a trailer will play and then I'll just remain silent and then turn over to Reggie

And he'll be like where's the gameplay? And I'm like yay He gets it We're learning yeah the day before occasionally would put out a little video. I remember seeing them and they always look like something that was built to show off to someone and then throw away in the trash to never actually be included. But it's claims of a big zombie MMO and the last of us style and that's why they stole the last of us. I don't know.

The moment you see the font man. The moment you see the font and like your entire creative endeavor. Oh, we've spent five years. Who the fuck cares? If you spent five years laboring, you didn't give enough of a shit about the thing you were working on to like not even give it half of an asked identity. You just grabbed the font of the other thing. And when looked, does it remind you of that?

Please, please, please associate the other things, good feelings with our thing. You know, like right off the bat, the opening, the opening salvo is last of us font. Fuck. Yeah. Well, parent confusion marketing. Continuing.

Or as like a scam, like it's an objective scam. The game is now shut down. So it's like being an early access. And the company has been disbanded. So the stories are, cause I was going to get, I was grabbing the current story, which is, you know, the day before controversial shooter shuts down a week after massive steam launch.

And do not even it's been four days. And then in looking that up comes the story right before that, please don't accuse us of scamming the day before issues statement. I had a early access launch and formed by a reputable source just now that the game's development leaned heavily on unpaid volunteers. Like, just, like, so, so, okay, yeah, unpaid volunteers, asset flipping,

copyright disputes, just, not like just across the board. And you're like, man, like why go through the elaborate rules of like doing all this work and then uploading to Steam? Oh, these are the fuckers that made prop night. Oh, man. I don't even know, but it's just, why not just get a couple of guns and go down

to the place you want to rob and point them at the people and then take the money like, so we can simplify this entire exercise and cut it down by four years. Because the companies in Russia, and that means they'd have to deal with Russian police. So it appears to be that the steps that were taken here were work just enough to build up fake trailers

made of fake gameplay, buy ad space on IGN and whatnot to show that, have a big launch, and then as soon as people start going, hey, what the fuck, this is a bunch of bullshit, they announce that the company no longer exists and run. After you purchased it, I'm seeing people saying that steam is giving people refunds.

Yeah, after you've bought it for 50 bucks. So I think, I think their scam may have in fact failed because it's four days is not enough for steam to transfer any money to the dev, right? So maybe they were hoping to ride it out like one month. We got that payment. Okay, so at the very least, like all of that is for not, because they're too stupid to stick around long enough to get the cash in.

They did it too hard. They should have done the apology letter and they should have, oh my God. Right, they should have been like, we're working on it, blah, blah, blah, blah, here. But I have to take a step back and go like, like, who paid after watching that? This money to these people, like, they saw some zombie MMO.

Who bought this? Why? Why did you buy it? Because they wanted the zombie MMO. Why did you buy it? Because they wanted the zombie MMO. Well, we are on a video game podcast, talking about video games and other such stuff. The level of consumer discretion,

that the dumbest person who listens to this show has is still miles above the average consumer. And that is not to say that we're all so good and smart. No, not at all. It's just to say, like most people, like a lot of people buy video games, like they would go to the store and buy a book and go, huh, cover this looks nice.

Cool. I just, I remember like laughing hard. Well, like over 10 plus years ago, you know, at things like the, the fucking devil Kings font and the, the volleyball, the beach volleyball game that was trying really hard not to be DOA Extreme Beach volleyball, you know, that would be on the game stop shelf right next to it. And parent confusion marketing in general, the Wii U game draw tablet, you know, kind of old fuck shit. I just like it's always just been this thing of like this is hilariously

stupid. You're not gonna ever trick me into be like what the fuck are you doing, you know, and I don't know, I just like especially when you look and you just see like okay, there's a military gun thing and then you see that, you see that fucking font. And it's just like, oh, like acid flips, I recognize you have to kind of get used to playing enough and seeing enough of that shit to go, I know that exact bottle.

So it's not just your personal distaste, or sorry, it's not just your personal distaste or sorry, it's not just your personal knowledge of the this universe. It's also your generalized ambivalence or distaste for the thing that you're describing. Shaded disposition. Right. Of like military man shoot the zombie like people who fucking love call of duty zombies and have call of duty zombies on their steam or and they they they've relabeled with whatever black ops game they're playing to call of duty zombies and that's all they play. See, zombie MMO, wow! Of course, at this, and like,

Neat Eye Point two, and this is a nice segue or sigoo, if you would, of Neat Eye Point two, a set of videos that I've been watching all week, which is dudes, not understanding why Spider-Man 2 didn't win every single award at the Game Awards. Because Spider-Man, bro! Yes!

FIFA didn't even, my favorite one is the guy who's like fours of people that's FIFA every year, man. What are you talking about? But look at this. Spider-Man, Spider-Man! Look at this fucking insane Unplayable cutscene and here's gameplay of Baldur's Gate 3 What the fuck?

How could this possibly have beaten? Yeah, I saw that camera, I actually had a really good follow-up that was really genuinely funny Which was the reply to his own like Sandman cutscene was Baldur's Gate 3, you can't play it. It was a picture of two dice sitting on a white background. And I like that's actually really funny. That's pretty funny. That's pretty funny. Yeah. I look man, like that's just you can't. That I mean, when you hit them with the equivalent of

Nice what is it? The nice themes or subtext idiot now check this shit out super saying Guy doing a skit in which Baldur skate three is the best game that has the best spider-man suits in it To which the gentleman goes ha I was like yeah because it doesn't have this trash and it points to fucking miles is fucking co-gate Adidas pile the shit. Oh, man. Anyway, I just, yeah, so like I'm just scrambling through every detail of this story.

It just sounds like the most- Hey, there's not many. The most repulsive game. There's not many details. But like, I concept with zero creative integrity or anything remotely interesting about it turns out to be a gigantic scam is not the right word. Like, it's just a like a criminal robbery enterprise.

It's like, I mean, fraud is, scam is fraud is crime. that it's just a like a criminal robbery enterprise. It's like, I mean, fraud is, scam is fraud is crime. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Allegedly. It's, yeah, it's just, you know, like, I think it's like, I think they're not good at it either because like four days after the game comes out there, like we fired everyone the studio no longer exists It's like the paper work alone

We take weeks on that dude like what are you talking about? Well, okay, well luckily people who have issues will have the reach of international law To go and reach this company in their business practices in Russia. Yeah, I was about to say I didn't know this was Russia, but yeah. I yearly await the expectations from any incoming lawsuits.

Boy. From country that doesn't give a shit. I should have, so like, yeah, like I think click it, if I were to click on this and see the day before.ru, I would have been like, oh, okay, all right. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, very, very up and above board. Good, good stuff. I expect to hear the updates legally about what happens and not for this to just completely disappear and never come up again.

What was the thing they made before? Prop night? Called prop night. What's that? It's prop hunt, but Halloween based and it's shit. Does it use the same font? No, no, it's actually got more work put into it than the day before it does. Damn.

It's not a scam game so much as just a crap. Just a crap. Okay, that's it. Man, I mean, I know that you kinda, you look at the creative stuff sometimes and go, I don't understand how this comes out of nowhere, right? But like, there's something to when, if you're like on a team of people,

like if you're trying to make something and you give a fuck about it, or you're like on a team of people, like if you're trying to make something and you give a fuck about it and or you get hired by a studio and they just go shut the fuck up, copy this thing and change it a little bit. And you do that for the course of years and like you just, it's like that's your basic.

And you make a bang called fatal fury or best of best or the street fights or exactly right? 100% Tell us all this time unbelievably cuz it's like that thing is making so much money in our cage What are you crazy of course? We're gonna copy it shut the fuck up a Million percent all right listen figure out what would get a lawyer to call us and then back it off just like 5%. And then, and then if this guy's name is Ryu, that's too close. Ma, Ryu, Ryu, make him orange.

God, it will know because the other guys are in, so let's just fuse them together. It's fine. And as long as you make it more affordable for the arcade operator to buy, because that's who you're really trying to sell to, keep in mind, they're gonna make their money back in quarters. And if that shit pops off, then you can slowly crawl your way out of fucking like legally questionable territory into, you're now a classic classic because you've been ripping it off log enough, but you've became your own thing. You know, you're up there with the heroes. There was. And then you get legitimized by having a versus title that features you versus the original.

Legitimacy comes from when people stop calling you a clone and start and invent a new genre title. So vampire survivors like or vampire survivors clone existed for like six months, and then some good ones came out. Mm-hmm. Like 20 minutes till dark and hollow cure. And people were like, well, we should come up with a new name for this, because these are actually good.

But there's just something that's so much more offensive about the case we're describing here, because for example, I remember there's an article I read a million years ago about how Nintendo will oftentimes pioneer a new type of game or genre, and then leave it alone. And then a bunch of people will come along and copy it and make a whole style and evolve the idea and turn it into this whole thing

that Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about anymore. And then they move and you get the cart racing example, as like one of the pinnacles that were described, right? And it's like if everyone's gonna do a mascot themed cart racer, like that's fine, that's a really fun idea and we've seen some great shit out there. But like, it's like, it's really funny. Because like, over like 25 years,

there've been two other good ones ever. And they've been crash team racing and that Sonic only, you know, all of the stars or whatever. You know, but hey, look, we got Bloodborne cart coming out and we're pretty hype. And Diddy Kong racing had slying in it And you know, there's some there's some shit out there that was like fun and and we have good memories for But the point is more like you look at those examples and you're like, ah, okay

You're doing your own version of that sure But when you see the the Mario Kart font it's like we don't even have enough of a fucking creative bow to our body to try something on our right. Half of the kids nowadays can barely read and you want to fucking like have people figuring out font choices for shit that came out 20 years ago. Because if I booted up hollow cure or halls of torment or 20 minutes till till dawn and like I got fucking you know with the fucking shit like that like and it just it's not vampire survivors like at all of those games are doing the vampire survivors gameplay thing but at the very least they're presenting their own bit they're trying their own thing while just going for that gameplay element and building off of it. A lot of

the platform fighters, as they're called now, the Smash Clones, you know, are some of them are adhering aggressively to the Smash formula by having like percentages for knock offs and others are like, no, well, you have a life bar. And you know, whether it works or not, you get your PlayStation All-Star as like use a super to kill situation. They try some wild shit, but like it's the part where you go past emulating the gameplay and you go into just like emulating the branding where it just becomes so much more pathetic. It's Wicked Onalds, you know. You are expecting.

No. So it's not, I'm not expecting. I'm not expecting this. I'm just pointing out that it's that much more pathetic when it goes past a gameplay. That's it. I'm not expecting otherwise. There's two examples that I can come up with here that are parables for this situation

about human intelligence. Are you aware that it is impossible to design a bare proof trash can? They'll always find a way. No, the problem is that the overlap between a trash can that's hard enough that the smartest bear can't open it, overlap with the human the dumbest person can't open it, overlap with the human.

The dumbest person can't open it. Oh, that's fantastic. It has, it has been a try over in over in American parks. What I make by being resistant trash cans that people that figure out how to open. So then they leave their trash on the ground next to the trash can what else you supposed to do I don't understand this dumb thing And the second one crazy a lot cuter is that for our little baby We got he's he's he's he's a little baby. He's not grasping things quite yet, right?

So we were like well We want him to have fun with something so we got him these little rattles that are like wristbands. So when he flaps his little baby arms, it makes like jingle, jingle noise. Guess who keeps stealing that shit? The cat. Because the overlap between toys for five month old baby and 15 year old cat is a circle, man. Like it's the same toys. It's the same fucking thing. Dude, so do you remember how I was describing how, when I went to Iceland, I went to a beach

that was like, got had sneaker waves, that were just waves that came from the North Pole, uninterrupted all the way to the shores of Iceland. And if you happen to be standing there, they claimed you back to the earth. And I described how there are infinity signs large in every language with photos of the last person who died getting taken into the water because they were not paying attention, they were not reading, they didn't listen

and they stood too close and they turned their back or whatever the fuck they did. Maybe a couple weeks ago, that same place we were standing got someone else. In fact, it got to people since we left. I am going to assume that a person putting up that signage does not have in their heart. I hope this prevents another tragic loss of life. I imagine what they are feeling in their heart is, well, I did my job. Time to ignore this beach. And this is what happens.

But the thing though, dude, is that culturally that energy changes a lot, right? You'll feel it in Amsterdam, a little bit of a like, yeah, there's no guardway all here to stop you from dropping into the canal, because what the fuck, hold your kid, don't do that. Like there's a little bit less of that,

and maybe there's also like the fact in North America there's a lot of like lawsuit culture and stuff that, you know, safety plus lawsuit, danger equals, we need to go over and above and beyond this, because even if we can convince you to not go do this thing, someone might try to do it if they think they can get a payday out of it. It's a million other steps.

But so, so culturally that energy changes a lot when you go to different places, you know? And in Iceland's case, it felt like compared to everywhere else that we visited and looked that were like, you know, they'd give you your warnings about things that were like, hey, be careful here. This one was the most loud and over the top

of all the places we'd been. Shy of having someone standing there to stop you at the gate and say, hey, did you read this? Okay, now go ahead. You know? That's the, they didn't have that, but either way, like people still walked right up to it. Boom, there you go. You know? So, I'm not going to be able to remember the details or the name of the study, but it's been conclusively shown over and over and over that if a sign planted in a location, warning you to do something, tells you something that you don't like, it will erase from your mind as soon as you stop looking at it for most people.

Interesting. I'd love to see the source of that. Like, and that sounds fascinating. You know, and like even seeing the sign at all, it races, it doesn't enter in, right? They don't, the fact that there was a sign at all. Someone will find the actual research,

but I can tell you from personal experience, as somebody who has mopped the floor and fucking put up like 10 wet floor signs, only to see people step over the sign and slip and fall and then get mad at me. Oh yeah and and and and you feel so good because you point and then they don't know what to do because they're embarrassed and they just go yeah yeah yeah that that now becomes about the shame, of course, right? There's, um, there's an infinite list, an infinite list of videos that you can find online of people at a shooting range going for us fun, selfie pointing the gun at their friend.

And like, even cannot get instructors, you cannot get to that place where you're in the shooting range with live ammunition without having gone through the extensive list and the person standing there practically screaming in your face about what the rules are and signing all the things and going through all those steps, you know, I like there and it doesn't fucking matter because it's going to be like aah, it like it just, you know, yeah, you can't, it's true. There's a level that you just can't possibly stop. And then it's also the like, the ones,

well, whatever, there's the level of like, I know what I'm doing, I just don't care, which is a whole different feeling entirely, you know. So I also have a second thing, which I will shout out by my favorite. I'm muted. Did you just mute? Are you just mute? I'm muted? Did you mute yourself? I did not.

I can't hear you. I'm broadcasting. Did the batteries die again? Is it me? Let's look at chat. Chat him, I'm muted. No, no. Pat's fine.

Alright. Okay. It looks like it's the headphones. It's all you. You've gone deaf. Wait, you can't hear me. I can hear you like it's the headphones. It's all you. You've gone deaf. Wait, you can't hear me. I can hear you now coming through the fucking... You can hear me now?

I can't hear you coming through the... Now I'm muted. Okay. There's two speakers switching over. The device got all fucked up and it's... Ah! I just charged these batteries before we started. I don't know why they would be not working.

We should take a second. Be our bee. Okay. Hello, are we back? Quick test. You sounded a bit louder than usual to me, but... Oh, darn.

Should be fine for them. You never know. Let me attempt to correct it. Hey, them in the chat. Pat does seem a bit louder. Oh, well, if I'm louder for both, you can just turn me down. I'm sure you don't.

Just turn it. Man is wrong, but also loud, so who knows. We'll wipe it out. All right, there we go. Um, yes. Oh, I was in the process. My second example, woolly, for people not listening to signs that will kill them. I will read the following I selected at Ranta.

Instead of vegetable stock, I used pineapple sauce, baged up from a tin of pineapples, juice and mustard seeds, seeds, onion, half a parsnip, honey, apple, and some sweet spices, garlic, and ginger, tomato puree, lemon juice, and water. I used coconut milk and added extra apple, beautiful. This is a recipe for sure.

You're a recipe. Right, right, right, right, right. If you want to feel the, the desperate ache of suicidal ideation, go down to the, I didn't have eggs, read it, where you can see people arguing with recipes in their reviews. Yeah, if people don't wanna do it a certain way, they're not gonna do it even if it's wrong. I remember in my shop class, you remember in shop class? Shop teacher said, don't do this one thing. Yeah.

And then by the end of day, class was cut short to help that one kid. There's, you know, to the nurse's office. I feel like there should be a name for this phenomenon as well, because it's a, so in conclusion, a lot of stupid, right? But I think, yeah, it's called being also stupid. I think there's another phenomenon to it play

in a lot of cases where, and this is something that I just constantly have to be reminded of. I'm just like, the amount of people like, the amount of people on the internet that might just be like a 15 year old that your brain is assuming is another adult is overwhelming. I forgot, I forgot where I saw it,

I don't know who I'm quoting, but they said that the tragedy of social media is that it is not criminal for me being at risk for seeing a minor opinion. Like a lot of the time, you might actually see that. Like, I saw, what was it? I saw like a post someone made and it was like just like just shading examples or so. And it was like different types of hatching and cross hatching and things like that.

And it was really poorly executed. It just looked bad. And I was like, okay, half the things that go up online these days are just clickbait AI farming, whatever, like a bot that's gonna just try to get karma. But like in this particular instance, I clicked a look and it was like, actually no, this was just a thing posted by a 15 year old. karma, but like in this particular instance, I clicked to look and it was like, actually, no, this was just a thing posted by a 15 year old. And it's like, oh, right. You have that problem where you just, you naturally assume that like you're, again, talking to someone at least within 10 years, either direction, you know, in many cases, especially in the,

in any case, especially in the shit we look at. But, you know what? I'm gonna, I'm gonna, the kids are dumb, it's true. However, I think you're underestimating how many stupid adults regardless. There are. Yeah. Yeah, that's there. That's always there. you're underestimating how many stupid adults regardless. There are. Yeah.

Yeah, that's there. That's always there. Like, because you want to be like the person I'm discussing, I'm talking to on the social media platform is so stupid, they must obviously be a child. No, they're old. Absolutely going to be a number of that as well. I'm just, it's a lot, it's definitely easy to imagine the target mark for this type of game as well as the that is that is our age and then you can also imagine the 15-year-old that's

like it's like last of us and we can play online with our friends. Oh man, let's go. And that's the end of the thought, you know, Wolley, when I was in the States for the last Mac fest, Paige and I took an Uber from our Airbnb to the Gay Lord hotel. And the 55 year old black grandmother in the front seat of the car was talking about how much she loved GTL line because she can drive around and shoot people. And I know it costs too much, but I just love buying all that shit.

Like there's no limit to age. There's no limit to race or creed, politics or orientation. Yeah. Like, like grandma wants to run people over with her car in GTA online and that is that. So when you say, Hey, grandma, who's only played Grand Theft Auto 5 in her entire life, did you know there's a version like that, but you can run around and you shoot zombies with all your friends? She'll go hell yeah! And buy it!

Yeah? Yeah. Um... Well... I, uh, yeah, it just... In conclusion, you know, just... Fucking... Ugh.

But, uh... I mean, God, you can... If you ever... You ever, uh, seen the article or read the story of those guys those two divers that decided they wanted to break into a gigantic Undersea tube that said do not enter with a bunch of death symbols on it And it was the intake valve for the local God yeah for the local power. Oh, God. Yeah. I just, like, there's stuff where you have to chalk up into,

like, now that we're going into this territory, like, you can't, yeah, you just can't. You're like, yeah, what are you gonna do? You can't stop it. Like, anyone who's super into cave-spillunking, you know, like, like, I can't stop you. No, I can't stop you. No, I can't stop you. You're a write-off, I'm sorry.

There's nothing that could be done. You thought you were intoxicated by the concept of having so little room to breathe that you're fitting your ribcage sideways through a crevice and then getting into a hole and then getting back out. I'm convinced it's a, it's a closet. Yeah, it's a good part of it maybe. You know, there's also the like,

the, I got to chase the high of my life being in danger part of it. You know, board Russian kids doing parkour on skyscrapers, free soloing, you know, and stuff like that. But do you remember, like, there was the Darwin Awards website? And that was funny to check all the time because it would always be people who had killed themselves in ways

that were incredibly obviously easily avoidable. And none of them were tragedies. Not a single one was a tragedy. Every single one was a reasonable assumption of the expectation of the situation. Stuff like, I don't need to fix my car. I'll just jam shotgun shells and random places in the engine and the fucking spark plugs.

And then, oh, my car blew up and cut me into pieces because the heat from the fucking battery exploded the shit. And that's not a tragedy. That's just like you neglected to play it through. And it just played through through what comes next and and I guarantee you at least once in your life or anybody that laughed at any of these things someone in your vicinity what do you laugh in it? Oh this is this guy he uh this this Toronto lawyer

uh I guess the sky's great great great greatper. To prove every time a class. To prove how safe is when you prove how strong it was. Isn't that funny? After years of doing it. And someone, someone, someone said, that's not funny. Someone died, people make mistakes. And in that moment that you hear them say that to you, you look at them

with new eyes. The eyes of this person is at risk of dying every day. Every day they are taking shortcuts and little jumps that maybe they shouldn't. I mean, and they see themselves in lawyer lying outside of the important detail or a person who doesn't believe in terms of signals. The important detail, because again, I feel like you go up to the CN tower or any of those like Tokyo tower style. Here's the glass walkway,

and you're gonna see someone jump on it, right? You're gonna see someone do it. I jumped on it. But this dude did that to every group of new interns that came through for years as a... Yes, he thought it was hilarious. He's like, because he was an architecture, right? And it's like him doing that on his own weakened the integrity to the point where that happened, you know, so of note He was right the glass would never break But he had done the trick so many times that he had loosened the entire pain out of its socket and

Him and the entire pain of glass Just shot right out. We ended it in break. The break did. The break did. The break did. The break did. Oh yeah, yeah. Anyways, I don't know if, I mean, you guys remember

Darwin Awards, you were around for that, right? Or was that like, did you come along? Happen again, but there was a website and it was a very popular thing back when I would say high school into. So yeah, you know, one one rescue man gets a call that you know, an American or you know, Canadian or or you know, any foreign tourist has been taken by the sea. He looks at his calendar and he says, well, I'm gonna get a couple days over time,

time to update the sign. Time to print the new sign. Right? Yeah. Yeah, yep, yep. When I was in Tofino, there were big signs all over the place that was like, don't stand on this rock because this rock goes in the ocean when the tide comes in.

The wave will knock you off and you can hurt, hit your neck and die. And there was a person on every single one of those rocks. Yeah, true. And those people bought the day before. Look, when we went to look at a bunch of the, what was it? It was the Godfoss, this giant, amazing waterfall that has a great view point and multiple things. And of course, people crawling over the gates

and the guard rails to get that perfect selfie and they're standing on the wet rock doing it. And we're just watching like what can you do to this person? What was the, there was a name actually. Hope. You can hope. God, there was a word for like, cause of death selfie. Oh, do you remember playing?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, for sure. Planking killed a ton of people. And then do you remember they all died the same way? Like, not most planking deaths were hotel balconies. Because you'd get drunk and you'd plank on your hotel balcony and right off the side. Yeah. Um, I, there was that and there was like, so I remember the, I remember that

when I was talking to Pudgemon about this, just typing the words couple on honeymoon into Google, would just auto complete with nightmares. So I wanna be really clear. Okay, people at home, So I want to be really clear. Okay. People at home, your hopes and your prayers don't have any effect on the world. The secret is a fake. However, what this means is that if you see someone balancing precariously on something

like an idiot, you can hope something happens guilt-free. Cause your thoughts aren't affecting the outcome. You didn't, you didn't, you didn't make it happen. You can, you can just, ooh, I wonder. The term I was looking for is selfie side. Yeah. Selfie side, huh. Selfie side. Mm-hmm. And yes, of course, Herman Cain awards has also become a part of the lexicon as well.

That was a particular one that was... That one's crazy because he came back as a tight exon. Exactly. Like that very very it is tied to like social media posts. That's a wild one. Wild shit. Anyways. Hey, hey, this is going on social media posts. Yeah, that's a wild one. Wild shit. Anyways. Hey, hey, this is going on a little long. Can we do rap?

Can we do rap, sir? Could you rap this up? We got shit to get to. Hey, Jou Numa, rap that shit upside. Shut the fuck up. So I don't want to talk too much on it. Page is tweet that on the subject actually summed it up pretty incredibly. Chris two things.

What Chris judge route. Absolutely. Absolutely. We'll correct everyone. It like a lot of a lot of anger being said to the Jeff and those. No, it is it is. Chris and they fall like he and then went to the bit too. They played him off as a gag to be like, ah, it is, it is Chris. And they fall like he went out a bit too. They played it off as a gag to be like,

oh, you're going on too long, Chris. And he's like, but second of all, there was a human being at the game awards. This was responsible for timing. And I understand the venue costs and you gotta and timing is hard. But specifically, there were three moments that really stood out as just like, oh, this was the wrong decision. Neil Newborn accepting best performance and describing how Baldur's Gate 3 means a lot to victims of abuse and how you are seen and having to shout over like the music screaming at him is like, oh, it's

bad vibes. It's bad. Have to get to the latest now in Fortnite platform racing commercial. Sven for Baldur's Gate 3 is game of the year. As he's describing special thanks to the people on the team that died during development, was the moment the music came in. Right? Oh, those are ghosts. Yeah, it's, but, but my favorite though. I don't know if you remember, but in the middle of the show, there was a presentation, and I don't remember what game it was from, but a man and a lady got up to talk,

and the man said his peace, and then he started to move away from the microphone, and they started to play the music as the lady moved to the microphone. I didn't get to that. And it's like the music was being quiet. I didn't even know. No, silence. I didn't get to that. And it's like the music was being quiet. No, silence. I didn't see that.

I don't remember. The, yeah. It was clearly just like, okay, last time, like they went above and be a bond, the, the Chris went above and beyond the limit. And then it became a whole bit, it became a problem, you know. But the over correction at this point was like, you get 30 seconds, I guess. You know what felt like?

So it was a manual timer that you got to start a 30 second countdown. But I think they were starting it based off of where they were on the timeline for the show. Oh, is that okay? I'm not, I'm not, I'm based on the moment you get out of your seat. So it wasn't, it wasn't like you step up

and then they hit the button for the timer because everyone got slightly different amounts of time. The timer counted down from 30 seconds and then said, please wrap it up, but that was variable. Oh my god, it's just, whatever, man. Game of war instance. There are three people however, if you wanna man. Fucking game of war instance. There are three people, however, if you want to, after Chris, you can blame.

And that is Jeff Keely, peel and Kojima, because spending, I don't know what it was, like the time it was 10 minutes, 15 minutes, to say Literally nothing Well, it'll love your show You might have created a crunch best. He's privileged. Come on now. The fuck you expected him to took you expecting co-jeet to get played off stage you wild Um,. I just I don't

whatever I don't know it's a it's a it's a same old bit and and you know I've said before that my my preferences to wake up the next morning and click play on a couple trailers and see what's going on you, but the game awards did in fact happen. And, you know, like, like, like, like, like, like, Street Fighter 6 didn't get accessibility award.

I was like, damn, what the fuck? Wow, that's wild, you know, but, this is just, there's that overwhelming sort of like, just, or not know, but, there's just that overwhelming, or not overwhelming, but that underneath layer of just like none of this matters, it don't matter. Well, see, that's the case, but part of the thing is that it does matter

to the people getting those awards for the recognition, or to, or, like, it clearly meant a lot to Sven and the Baldur's gate team. It clearly meant a lot to Sam Lake and the Allen Wake team. It unfortunately meant a lot to the Pete's tower team. I saw that screenshot. Yeah. I did that they looked they looked quite quite sad about that. And then you you know, you got to, I guess, the debate over the things like Dave the diver and all that, it's like, there's no real end to the what is an indie discussion, it just we just kind of like, all right, it. Well, I feel, I feel like despite their not being an end of that discussion,

everybody's pretty clear on Dave, not counting. Which good thing it is. Okay, well, speaking of wrapping it up, I suppose. I mean, anything between last Wednesday and now in terms of playing stuff or Oh yeah, I started reading one piece on this, this Oh, yeah, I started reading one piece on this, this e-mail book. Oh, yeah. It's a Kobo Sage, which I specifically picked out

because Kobo Sage is the exact size in terms of screen real estate as a megapage for like a trade volume. So it replicates the experience. It's great. Very much like it. Coolates the experience. It's great. Very much like it. Cool. Very much. Yeah, one piece of shitty art is a lot less shitty in the manga.

Boy, that anime looks like crap. Like, hold on, fuck. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, like, wow. Is it like across all seasons or is it just an early thing? I, when I, when I said that on social media, I saw somebody say they only started trying on the anime around episode 900 plus.

So it's pretty, pretty consistently awful for decades. Now I'm aware I'm literally 25 years late on this. Hey, that one piece is a good read. It's a lot better of a read than I expected. The anime adaptation is quite bad. Like, really. I've never heard anyone say bad. Wow. Like even from like chapter

one I'm like wow this composition and like color and not coloring but shading is really nice it's really nice compared to the anime's of bad okay I feel like I I'm not that bad. Okay. I feel like I know a lot of one piece of fans that mainly experienced it as an anime as opposed to reading it. Well, I mean, shit, I did. I watched like 200 fucking episodes of it before I fucking called out. Yeah, you got pretty far in.

I did. I got to the end of a Skypia, which, I mean, that was all right. I also, on page, just recommendation, I also used Spotify for the first time yesterday. That's nifty. You listen to songs on that. You listen to us. to songs on that. Listen to us. I, I, I, we're on it.

So I originally followed us cause so I could be like, yeah, there's a follow but then it would kept trying to recommend me myself. And I was like, I'm gonna unfollow that. I don't wanna. You don't wanna listen to it. You don't wanna listen to it myself. That's a bit, that's a bit much.

You are, you are there. I knew that. I knew that. I didn't know how or how. But I knew that. But that's been pretty much, oh, and I beat Alan Wake, which man, they really stick the ending. And I was like, wow, that's crazy that they stuck the ending and still lifted on a cliffhanger. And then the night that they, that I beat it, they said, hey, by the wow, that's crazy that they stuck the ending and still lifted on a cliffhanger. And then the night that they, that I beat it, they said, hey, by the way, there's a new ending after you beat it. And Jean's playing through the first hour right now and saying that it is very different

and is changing things in a way that makes you doubt whether or not that was the way they always were. What did you think of the live performance? I thought the mixing was off. I thought the vocals weren't loud enough. And I understand that they had to cut it down from 25 minutes down to nine minutes, down to five minutes. 25 minutes, down to nine minutes, down to five minutes.

But I really feel very happy for poets of the fall who is the band that is pretending to be old gods of Asgard, who now have a charting album on iTunes I think it is. So it's a relic, like it's a popular finish band that has now gotten some world notoriety after pretending to be a fake band in a game about fake things becoming real. And I was thinking about that and I was like, I wonder if they feel like annoyed that like this fake video game band thing is part of the key to their future larger success until I went back in their discography and found out that the first single they ever wrote

was through the credits of Maxx. Oh, okay, well then it's there. They are intertwined to the maximum. I mean, so I remember wondering about that when maniac agenda blew the fuck up after from the revenge and thing and to see them, like, are they going to kind of embrace being the revenge and folks or is that kind of it?

Are they gonna get tired of that? Yes. And I don't know that we've heard of anything from them since, but if that's what you kind of become known for, then like it does read right at your existence in the public eye as to what you are. The wildness of that performance though, was kind of like, at some point I'm just thinking

like Sam Lake is like, he was getting into video games and like interested in being like, I wanna make these things and have fun and like, you know, I'm not sure what he started out as, but like, whatever those first steps were, I'm sure they did not envision him doing pirouettes live in front of a stage of people like, from the performance from his the latest game like smiles and doing a full on Broadway

Musical moment. He's have like where the fuck was that on the list of things in your game career trajectory. Oh So no, so people have people have gone back and like in 2011 or 2012 whenever it was but like They made Alameik and they couldn't get the money to make it Alameik too. Like nobody wanted to, you know, handle the purse strings. And Alameik is like visibly very depressed as he put out a little of the package going, we really sorry we're going to keep looking, but there's no Alameik too on the horizon. And he's like, he's like, lit from the, he's super depressed.

And to see that guy being like, ha ha, the Harold of Darkness on a fucking stage, dancing and singing in a big fucking Broadway production, after winning fucking best narrative and best directing. Like man, good for them. That's great. Also like Sam's like existence as the dev who put his head on the guy in Max Payne 1 to put up so somebody could be the head of Max Payne 1 has like reached into the future in which he's playing six characters in LW2. Jesus. He's playing six characters in LW2. Jesus.

He's playing Sam Lake, Sam Lake, Alex Casey, Alex Casey, Alex Casey, and Alex Casey. And they're all distinct characters. And, well, I don't know, the, in control, the masked smoking man, the CEO or whoever was in those tapes. Uh, trench. Yeah. That is played by Max Payne's body actor in that, that's actually James McAfrey. Uh, okay, okay.

Like that's what Max looks like. So like the overall feeling of like seeing, uh, what's his name name David hair up there going? Oh, they're doing it like they're going through the trouble to import all these fins to do it And they had Matthew Pereira there doing doing the voice Because everyone in that fucking shit is not themselves and being voiced by a different person who also plays an actor in a different thing It's fucking weird. Okay, so you're not actually done until you find out what's going on on your game plus them I would say that's very accurate Cool all right well, so I guess for this I and and

Like it's it's really refreshing because the ending is very substantial and it's very good But you go damn I wish I knew what happened 10 minutes from now And then they go new game plus will tell you what happens 10 minutes from now and you yay Ray Okay, and so this week, uh, any schedule? Uh, I'm probably gonna go back to Alan Wake too and see what that new

game plus is about. And then I'm also doing Rogue Trader on Wednesday. And then I'll figure some shit out. We'll see. We'll see. Okay. What about you, man? What's up with you? Yeah, not much.

There's a game called Kirby Battle Blitz, which is a Kirby fan fighting game that is like made by what appears to be... The term that I've been using is a home fighter. Someone around the lunch room is basically like, what if I made a fighting game and I put everyone in it? All the homies are gonna be in it right and like it's that but like Kirby character themed What's our new battle blitz

made in ekmn which is a Fighting game engine that is based off of mucin and It just basically is like what if our OCs as Kirby different power versions and what if Sora but Kirby Sora and what if Star Platinum and just JoJo music just dropped right into it and it's over the top hypergonuts. It's wild it's fun it's completely busted it's just it's just yeah taking all the things we think are cool and dropping them into the template that is curvy and you know it's it's the same thing where like when you when you

you know when you're again I don't know I don't know if the team is actually this is this is what what is the case but it feels like when you make your own Dragon Ball OC, because Dragon Ball characters are already cool. We don't need to re-defi- you don't have to re-advent the wheel. Starting at a cool point, someone did it, a curator, I'm a figured it out, and now I'm going to put my own little tweaks to customize the hair to make my cool version that I would like of an already cool thing, you know? And similar for like, anyone that's like making their own Minecraft OCs and stuff, you're like, well, it's in the world of the thing that I like. That's been taken care of. Let me just customize it, you know? And so it's doing that with Kirby characters, essentially. And, uh, yeah, shit is just like completely busted and, and, uh and made for Twitter combo video notoriety

And you know, but like at a fun time finding some busted shit in it and it's got a rollback alpha available So even these Indie games Off here in the corner being made by groups of fans are like, hey, come try our rollback out. See if it works. So, uh, doesn't I didn't try. We just played some local matches. But yeah, shout outs to a, um, have fast paced Kirby fighting game. Uh, had a good broken time with it. She is completely unfair and busted. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was great. Um, we're talking like Marvel busted or like DNF busted or like new

busted, DNF busted. Yeah, yeah, like thing that like I didn't find any infinites, but I found shit that was so abusive, you know, like full on, like a Kirby that pulls out a giant, like a Buster Sword and does a, you know, zeroes type spin that takes up the entire screen practically and on one touch, you just get a full easy conversion to the wall, do practically an infinite, do a reset, you know, whatever, like a one character

that's like doing Virgil, you know, whatever, like a one character that's like doing Virgil, not an Virgil, new 13 style sword slashes and shit is just able to full screen confirm into a big sequence, do a super that ends in you sitting waking up on top of a round trip That's on top of you and then you just have to That's on top of you and then you just have to hold it and then I can just jump to either side or do whatever I want to you and then do it again because it builds a meter back to keep it going. Like, you know. Okay.

Exactly. Okay. I'm going to play my game and then you're going to play your game. Anyways, and then yeah, we did another, at what point does a fighting game just become bayblades if both characters are acting underneath that like mentality? Oh yeah, like, I mean, DNF has become very, simply, you gotta touch me twice and I'm dead.

And there's a character that can touch you once and it's the most busted shit ever and it's the most frustrating shit ever because fuck you Touch of death is bullshit making at least two Anyway, we did and then we did another check the tapes Street Fighter 6 Hey, you know this what game was it that like a super long combo would not kill you You had to get a single hit after the combo dropped to actually kill. Oh, well, there's a lot of games that do that. I mean, Marvel has aggressive combo scaling so that if you do do a really long infinite, eventually the damage is going to be practically

nothing. And then you have to, they have to reset them and then touch them again. Like a lot of hyper games do that for sure. But it definitely, Marvel 3 is, is got a scaling like that. Yeah, but the other thing we did was, yeah, we did check the tapes. So we watched some, some fan matches in Street Fighter 6 and gave some, some advice, you know, see how people are going. And yeah, you know, that's a fun thing to do too as well because it's like, you know, we're not gonna be given

you advice that'll take you to grand finals. But certainly if you're, you know, anywhere from iron to diamond and, you know, you're kind of trying to figure out what to do, we've got some advice and stuff. And a lot of the times too, Regis, I feel like a fucking hard ass sensei, do the confirm, learn the thing, do it right. And I'm kind of like, you can fuzz around a little bit.

I understand what it's like to be human and to fuck up, you know, but like somewhere in between my lenient advice and his hard line advice is something you can follow to improve. So be sure to check out our, our check the tapes series as well. And that's it. I find it helpful to try and deplete their energy before you deplete your energy. This is very good advice. This is a great, great tip. Um, and then the fun, and then of course the fun part is like you give that advice and

you're like, all right, let's play a go matches. You're like, oh, fuck, I'm dropping my shit. Oh, God. Oh, no, all that advice is gone. What's happening? God. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, so that's pretty much it. So this week, I'm gonna jump back in, try to see if we can wrap up FF9. If not, I think we should be within arms reach, maybe one or two sessions left of that. I'm going to be, I hear that I'm nearing,

I'm able to get through probably pizza tower in one other session. So I'm going to see if I can wrap up pizza tower. Oh, that fast, huh? Yeah, seems like it's not that long. But of course, doing perfect ranking, clears is the real challenge, right? So at the very least, I'm going to see if I can see all the stages. And this week, as of today, I think, the darkest dungeon to the binding blade DLC. Yeah, I saw that pop up earlier.

Just dropped. So I'm gonna be jumping in to take a look at the new classes. Crusader is back and managed to survive in a world where all the religious types are not doing well, although the vestel still made it. So we'll see what Renalt has been up to. And the dualist is a new class as well, so I'm going to check that out. From the description, it seems like it's the two classes,

and then there's also like a small side quest to go get them and a wandering mini boss as well. So most of the run might still be, you know, what's recognized. More or less the same, but hey, new toys. And hopefully, yeah, if we can do it, you can see a couple of their backstory missions as well, which are some of the best parts of the fucking game

is every time you get to one of their relics of the past. So the binding blade this week as well. What was that game by the way you mentioned a couple of weeks ago that's not Stasis Bone Totem, but it had bone in the title. Oh, dude, do you have any more? Unfortunately not, but it was bone in the title. Oh, sir. Do you have any more? I'm fortunately not, but it was bone something.

That's... Okay, all right. Never mind. Someone will remind us in the chat. That's okay. I'm sure. But, but, but, there we go. There we go. Thank you. I was searching for bone and I could not.

That's, I mean, listen, you can find bone if you search for it. I don't find, may not be able to look at the floor.

And that was like 15 years ago. Yeah. So you don't want that to slow you down. You can have a great night or a great next day, but you got to pick one. That's the deal, right? But yeah, no, Zbiotics is going to help with that. That's a sure-fired way to help you feel fresh after a night of drinking with Zbiotics pre-alcohol probiotic. So Zbiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first

genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for your rough next day. Z-biotics pre-alcohol probiotic produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. And just remember to make Z-biotics pre-alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow.

Legitimately, as someone who's taken pre-alcohol, before I remember the, when I went to Vegas for EVO and like that's where you're seeing small friends and people are gonna, like you're like, oh, we gotta play the next day, but you're like, all right, let's chill a little bit, you know, hang out and have some fun. And yeah, you have a couple drinks

and definitely I know there's been some years where I've competed and been like, went too hard the first day shouldn't have done it. And legitimately, having a pre-alcohol was able to like mitigate most of that, that, you know, sluggish feeling the next day. I felt like 80% of that feeling was gone. And I'm able to compete and play in the tournament and you know still drown in pools but I'm not going to blame the night before you know um and uh

that's something too as well that I've actually uh recommended to quite a few people too over the years is just like yeah it turns out that the science exists to mitigate the feeling of a night of drinking. So I swear by that, I definitely approve of the fact that like the next morning it can not be as bad as it can be sometimes. It's kind of more sense. Like from the same, from the same events, I'm now paying more on myself. Yeah. The age part doesn't make it easier and that sucks because you didn't have to think about it before, but now you actually do. So legitimately, that's where I'm like, yo, I like, I swear by having the ability to like, yeah, cut that down. So before December 14th, okay, so yeah,

All right, God bless. All right, so just to get it out before even the TGA's, this one's more of a PSA, but Capcom is now striking YouTube channels that have mods installed on their games. There's now evidence of people seeing a full on strike coming in, so it doesn't matter if it's single player or multiplayer The product you own must comply According to their own policy

A strike is not a copyright claim for those of you who don't know the difference No, fuck the strike is three strikes and your channel is deleted It's manually sent in it's infinitely worse and deleted. It's manually sent in, it's infinitely worse, and even if you get one, it drops your channel's standing, it drops your ability to... it gives you a lot. It makes you considered a not-trusted channel within the algorithm, essentially. So, just so anyone knows, basically, they're doubling down on that announcement they made the other day and actually going out and attacking channels based on fucking mods. It was a thread by super rad lemon and I can see that it was flagged not for like a street fighter six costume or something, but this was monster hunter Yeah, so the monster our speedrunning community uses a lot of mods to make their shit. What do they do? I'm not familiar, but I'm I'm just aware that they they use a bunch

That's fucking dirt garbage bullshit. That is absolute ass and and again strikes are we're taking your fucking channel away from you. So everyone be safe out there of course be. Be careful about that. If you really must see the Cammy Kigur outfit, then do so offline. Do not do so online in on-stream or on YouTube because I didn't worth it. And you can appreciate your Chun Li titties on your own time. I saw there was a massive threat about this, about people talking about it. And I feel like that Chun Li nude mod getting on stream is actually, like usually you point at that

and you go, that's just a symptom. I think that might have actually been the straw that broke the camelels back on this issue 100% like I always assume they're talking about it inside. But now the guy who wanted to go crazy had something to point to and go look at this shit. Well, so Street Fighter 5 had its entire career, its entire life cycle go with people uploading modded costumes for that shit all day. its entire life cycle go with people uploading modded costumes for that shit all day. I mean, the fucking cross-tech and wild mods, I showed every off back in the day,

were, you know what I mean? Like, there's been years and years and all of all this being around forever and it not being a big deal. But that was a tournament event that was, I guess, broadcast as, I don't know if it was officially part of the, the, the, the pro tour or not, but it was at the very least considered like a, yeah, a mainline FGC event and that was on a broadcast stream. So then it broke TOS for, it made the rounds, right? But it's almost like like when, God, I forget where it was, but it was like, there was another controversy of getting sponsored by like, Pornhub or browsers in the,

Yeah, I don't like that. Yeah, back in the day. They're not a fan of that, yeah, so it just feels like it's like, there's things that have been a part of this and have been around forever, but that spotlighted version that becomes a new story, now becomes an, oh, now that people are talking about it,

we gotta act on it and this is the way ostensibly to do it is to find out what channels are streaming and then fucking strike the channel. Fucking sucks, man. You know, like, that you kinda, when you first hear it, you're, that's the thing. The thought is like, is it for people that are cheating? Is it more about, yeah, it's like, no, it's a simple, if you put a fucking, uh, uh, unauthorized use of whatever the fuck, don't put a supreme jacket on your, on your favorite character.

Don't do it. Yeah. And it's, it's the reason, the reason I specifically sing a lot the the Chun Lee new thing is is that they had like street fight or five came out and people were hawking like just fucked up costumes forever and also like lots of costumes that the game didn't include. Monster Hunter had tons of mods. In fact, some of the mods from Monster Hunter World made it into iceborn as like options. It's like that dev team like looked at that. Resident Evil all sorts of stupid, stupid shit for Resident Evil over the long years.

But all of a sudden, like six months after this, here comes the hammer. And it is the hammer. And the hammer part of me as well, that's like, there's a bunch of people that when they announced costume three and then people saw the prices, there were a number of replies were like, well, over to the mods I go. You know, and you kind of wonder if a part of them were just like, you know, fucking showed you

the modern costumes. You know, like, because people, like, yeah, there's been a bunch of wild S3, 5 or 6 costumes for a while now and they had like S3, 5 or 5 Luke and they had a bunch of things like that and there's, you know, you're kind of wondering if like a little bit of that price blowback frustration into this is a way to get around it also informed some of this. So if that was the case, the first people that you'd see getting struck

would be people playing Street Fighter 6 with modern costumes instead of the monster. That's true. That's true, right. We'll see who got struck. Each strike is manually sent in. It's not like an auto claim thing. So it's not gonna be the same as when you upload a song

and then every video using it gets marked at the same time. So each one can be taken as a statement that a boardroom of lawyers got together and decided we're going after this particular content. So yeah, we'll see what happens with this, but just a heads up for anyone that is currently unaware. Like, they're striking. Also, when did this first start? Like, what day? Well, the post in particular is showing a strike from they're going to announce. Because this is their new big project going forward. And so, like, remember when Sega

fucking copyright struck everyone that had the words shining force in the title of their fucking video, so that their shitty trailer could get up at the top of the goddamn search results. Yes. That goes of that. I wonder,

I, this is, there's only, this is the only example I've seen talked about so far. I don't know if anyone else has brought it up. And I guess that, and the other question too, is like, are they going to distinguish between, like, are they gonna do it to like, more prominent channels, or less, is there gonna be a, you know,

is there gonna be a, rules for me and not for me, type situation going on with like, whether a certain size of channel matters there. I don't know. Well, I mean, we'll see if fucking Max and Light Thera Oak get hit with all the fighting game nonsense they do on their channels. Yeah.

Somehow, I think they'll be fine. Mm-hmm. If I can, probably if I can, like I said, I made that street fighter cross tech in wild edition version, where I just changed every character into nonsense. And I kept it and I booted it up over here. So there's the ancient Fistikovs and then there's the re-visit I did, you know, maybe a year or two back or so.

If that's the shit that gets me shot, then doubt I fucking go. Oh. I, in the process of this conversation, I went to my Dragon's Dogma playlist and just removed the helpful links to the Dragon's Dogma Nexus within the video description for the shit that I used for that video. Man. You know, and like, it's just kinda, it's just,

it's like the more, like, I know that like, games like, it was Skyrim and Mass Effect and stuff are like super organized, modern communities and shit like that, but like, could you imagine if someone, if like one of these companies just came out and just went fuck it, we change our minds, fuck this.

We hate all of you, Mottor's, and now everybody's gonna get it. Feel our wrath. You know what, Wolley? It's really, really funny that you mentioned that. I don't know if you have Starfield together on the docket this week. I don't, but you are almost there.

Starfield together is the Starfield version of a very popular Skyrim mod called Skyrim Together, which has been announced by the team making it that they will not be making it anymore. There's a Discord post with the lead dev talking about how they spent a lot of time when Starfield came out and they ported about 70% of the existing mod over and then sat down

and played Starfield and went, what the fuck am I doing and cancel it? So Starfield as a Bethesda game, a lot of people are, so the Bethesda process is Bethesda puts it out and then the modders finish development. The modders are deciding to not, to just not. Oh, wait. This time around. Wow.

So it's the upcy. One morning, sipped coffee, rubbed eyes, looked at it and the fuck are we? Yeah, amazing, amazing. There's also on that topic, there's a fantastic new Naky Jaky video. I mentioned the Rockstar design is outdated video, I think last week, and he came out with a Starfields design is outdated, and he makes the point that it was outdated

like 10 years ago because it's behind even Skyrim in a lot of respects. Naky Jaky does good stuff, he broke one of his yoga balls in the process of making that video. Go watch it. Maybe if they fixed that, it would have gotten the game or work. It would, so I, like, there's one thing I feel really bad

for Todd and the gang. It was up for Best RPG. That was the only category Starfield was up for, which was the most locked in of all the categories. Like there were arguments to be made on any of the other ones, but not that one this year. But they were there in the audience, right? So that does say something as we're the pizza tower devs.

So it's not quite a full on like if we see you here, it's because we know you're going to get it, right? But I think you can still use your brain a little bit and be like, Idris Elba will not be showing up, right? He's a JPEG and the nomination thing, a very handsome JPEG with a white background, just chilling. Um, yeah. So, uh, Yeah. So, uh, I think, uh, I think maybe the most gracious. So first of all, congrats to Neil Numbon for a star in congrats to Ben for being the obvious other choice that was going to be there and having the grace to have a big round of applause for Neil. Uh, and and big ups to one Yuri Lohanfall who in his congratulations to Neil retweeted a bunch of like gay Spider-Man Astarian arcs saying that they would be

boyfriends if he could do it. Nice, okay. Fucking sick meme, bro. Hell yeah. fucking sick meme bruh hell yeah yowey low-end thaw yeah it just writes itself you're kidding me? it was right there it was right there the whole time

awww how didn't we see it? damn i feel like an idiot. It was just there for the taking. It was right on the table. Incredible. All right, yeah. Well, so in terms of announcements, though, I mean, we don't have to, whatever. You know, there's the winners and such, but brothers is getting a remake.

That's fucking sick. If anyone enjoyed, it takes two and a way out. The game that Jose Fattas got on the map with was brothers. And it's a really good... I've heard good things. Yes. I really, really enjoyed it. It was an Xbox Live game back in the 360 era.

And it was the same style that they've gotten known for, which is like asymmetric... Not asymmetric co-op, but... Yeah, no, that's correct. Asymmetric co-op, but yeah, no, that's correct. Asymmetric co-op. You're playing as two different characters that have different abilities. You're an older brother and a younger brother. Wait, this isn't co-op, is it?

Is it? No, this is single player. You control both. Couldn't each analog stick as a brother? You could, but you could play it to play it co-op as well. No? Am I crazy? I don't think so.

I'm pretty sure it's single player. Oh, man, it's been too long. Okay, I remember, in fact, I believe that the emotional crux of that game relies on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. No, no, no, no, you're right. You're right, you're right. It's just, it's been a while. I remember that being a co it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, no, no, no, you're right. You're right, you're right. It's just, it's been a while.

I remember that being a co-op experience, but yeah, each stick controls each brother. And yeah, you know, I guess you could share the controller, but it's, yeah, and it's, it's, don't do that. That's a disaster. It's very good. And that getting a remake is pretty cool.

If you haven't checked it out, I highly encourage it. Some real, awesome, like, mechanical and creative design decisions that they do in that game. Some fun stuff. Same as well. So, inscription creator Daniel Mullins revealed Pony Island 2. So, more Pony Island. So, the Pony Island was the game that he made before inscription. I only knew inscription, but was Pony Island one as... Yes. Okay. So to some degree, if you knew that work, you could have kind of called out

every single piece of work this gentleman does is, hey it's this! No it's not dumbass. It's actually this. That is shit. Right. So ProZD all over the trailer for this, Pony Island 2. Interesting. Okay. Which is funny, because like the Pony Island 2 trailer

has a bunch of weird meta multi-game shit in it. Which is upfront. That's what I'm saying. It's on its sleeve. It's showing you a bunch of weird meta multi-game shit in it, which is upfront. That's what I'm saying. It's on its sleeve. It's showing you a bunch of the variety. To me, says that there's an even dumber thing underneath all of that. It all becomes one thing.

We go inverted this time. And Mr. Songwan Cho is going to be laughing at us playing up his best King Dragon. I mean, like, you're seeing him in the videos. You're just like, okay, like, like, is he, like, just like, like, where's the fake mustache? You know what I mean? Like, are we just, like, is it even, dude, even dude his machinations like undetected for years like I yeah, I like the idea that He just improvised the script in each of these bits and then like the game was designed around it, you know So my only worry with pony island too is that with all of his games, it's, I hope you have

broad tastes. And I hope that the one that you spend the most time on is a type that you really like. And you know, to be fair to inscription, right? There was that patch after the fact, so. All as well. Excuse me. All right. Then there was a couple of things.

Rise of the Golden Idol. The usual June was the game that looked like an anapurna published like the thirsty stutters slash sion hour wild heart style game. And then there was combat and I was like, I didn't expect to see combat. Yeah, it's, it's like, I'm glad to see something like, like taking like inspiration from like spider versus like,

low framerate stuff, but then she started fighting a glowing neon spider and I'm like, what, what, what, I thought this was gonna be about my feelings and getting my period. Let's, let's go. Let's go. I did not expect to see combo. So, I guess we'll see what that becomes.

Seems pretty simplistic in its scope, but I have an eyebrow raised to see what else comes out. We got to see a trailer for Harmonium, the Musical, which seems to be a story told entirely with ASL. Seems pretty cool. It'd be interesting if you were able to learn by just kind of playing and watching and mimicking what you see.

And I was kind of thinking, I was like, oh, it'd be fun if there was like an accessibility option that like mirrored the gesture they were doing for the player in the corner so that you can almost like practice it, you know? But that's a really cool concept that I'm surprised. If they want to have massive balls, they need to include a version of that game where the only input from the game is the visuals and the vibration of the controller. Wait, no, that's not the same thing. Wait, I thought you were gonna say, like VR finger detection so that it can,

like confirm that you were doing the correct ASL signing. No, no, I'm talking, it's about a little deaf girl who's a drummer. So if they wanna make that game for real, it should have no sound at all and just visuals and controller vibration I feel like one

decent use case for Hand detection and stuff like that though and and or connect style things would be to learn signing. But isn't that all, you need all your fingers for ASL, right? Like, I don't think the hand tracker thing can... Well, you do both. Can you do that? There's words that you do that are not fingers that are just large gestures. And then you short hand individual letters into gestures that are like, that are just large gestures and then you shorthand individual letters

into gestures that are more elbow and up-based movements. So how else are you supposed to sign out rap god unless you got your full body thrown into it? Then windbl blown, right? So Dead Cells is fucking good. Here's Dead Cells creator going, let's do a Hades style multiplayer thing where there's Dead Cell style, impact and slashes and action going on.

Also, just furries getting obliterated, left and right, all over that trailer, that was wild. So like I saw the furries and I'm like, cool, I guess, and then I saw the furries get juiced. That's not what I want to say. Like paste it. Like just like explodify. Happy tree friends.

It was quite like, you're like, what the fuck? You're like, oh, look at these characters. Okay, head pink misted. Yeah, all the scrimblows getting get and pumped up getting been blown. But yo, uh, man. So like we were sitting there and and page looks at it and she says, is that a scrunko? And I'm like, yes, honey, that is a scrimbo, boom, blow. And as as I say that they're being like indecisive, which is like ruining my point because the Scrimbo Bimbo lovable scrunko would not be desanguinated or sophisticated.

No, in fact, the fact that their beloved would save them usually from the degloving process. Yeah, what are you gonna do? Um, but, you know, again, trust in dead cells on that one because I fucking, yeah, I love the weapons in that game and the way that feels. So I'm very curious to see how they do a nice co-op. Take.

Hey, I'd like to make a complaint. I think you shouldn't be allowed to have a trailer for something in early access that says it's coming to early access later. The whole point of early access is now. You can't have a trailer for something currently in early access that says it's coming to early access later. Yeah, that's a lie.

Like, Hades, Hades, it was last year! That was a trailer said coming to early access soon. That's a lie. Yeah, no, that... fair. Thrash her from the folks behind Thumper. Um, Thratcher from the folks behind Thumper and yeah, the the overall vibe and and style and the logo as well evoke Thumper's aesthetics so

You want to catch space fish while high on acid? I mean Thumper was like so simple in what it was, but just that's all juice making that game feel good and just be fun to play. Like such a simple thing of like just on off, on off rhythm go, you know, but juice can carry you a long way. you a long way. Then there was a crossover for Dave the diver and Shredge. It's not the crossover I wanted. I mean, vote while. I prefer more content for Dredge. They just put out the winter thing though, right? I know, but I just, Dred just I just more or more dredge less day of the diver is the spirit of what you're getting at but Makes sense given their both water water games, I guess

They're both indie games in the water Independent water games Hey, can you hold on a second? I got a piss so bad. All right, I don't know how many people care, but I certainly loved me some world of goo back in the day. It's a classic. I fucking, I'm very happy that more of that. It's kind of wild to see that it's just it's the same thing

Like 10 plus you know 2008 to now you want more fucking Gool it's more world of goo and it doesn't it look like it's been like it looks like the same thing We're just doing it again art style same Music all of it were just we it's like they booted up their files, went back to the level editor and just made some more levels. The vibe I got there. World of Goose fucking awesome. From that particular era of full Wii games that like that and Ivy the Kiwi and

Boi Nis Blob and Deb Lob and, you know, like just a particular... Not a Goon! Yeah, like Artsy Wii games that in some cases were full-sized when you expected them to be like eShop. The world of Go goo is classic. The people are right to be excited for it. I don't know why the soundtrack was so good.

It was so incredibly strong for no reason for what the game was. Hope you can engineer your bridges. I suck shit at world of go. I'm terrible. It's hard. It's really hard. It's playing with your toothpicks and trying to build a fucking, you know, again, a structure. And then, yes. Metaphor, refantizio.

Totally not persona. shut the fuck up. It's look at, look, just look at the blue hair. Shut the fuck up. It's not persona, stop saying that. Okay, so when they started showing off the environment and they're running around the barren desert like looking in an area and I'm like, you're right, it's not, it's SMT5 actually brought into Persona aesthetics. It looks fucking great.

And I can't wait to just go through all those menus and see what happens and then study that shit and then various other UX people looking to see what happens when you... Have you seen the the the the overworld battle transition that they came out with a couple hours ago. Yeah. So it's like an action game. Um, and uh, enemies will have like action game attacks on the overworld field. And if you dodge them and do like a combo on them, you'll start the fight with

the equivalent of an all out attack. Oh, sick. Okay. Yeah, I will say I have no problem saying as well. Yeah. Extremely bad name. I mean, the project, re-fantasy was not the best, but it was more generic. I guess it was also forgettable for completely different reasons. But yeah, metaphor, re-fantasy is.

Airwals, I'm sending you a clip with a timestamp of what I'm talking about. I'll put it in the chat. This is the official Atlas West YouTube account. Metaphor Reef and Tazio, creators voice trailer at approximately eight minutes and 30 seconds. Making sure I'm muted, yes, okay. Man, it's so stylish. Okay, so you lock on to something dodge an attack and then do a combo and then the last hit of the combo transitions into battle. Oh my god

Oh, it's so stylish. God damn it stylish. Wow Wow, look at that thing go And then when you get hit or ambushed or you ambush the enemy in period with the squad Yeah, and then it does a big like close-up dramatic zoom on the character's face as you're like doing the attacker. Wow Fuck me man. So good Okay Uh, yeah, yeah, that's a terrible name awful name Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Terrible name. Awful name. Matthew McConaughey walked out and revealed that he couldn't get the game rights to interstellar. So here we are. We're doing it ourselves. Like, it's like, like they're showing you the astronauts. They're mentioning time dilation and you're like, wow, like, like they're showing you the astronauts. They're mentioning time dilation and you're like, wow, like, all right, we're not even gonna pretend that it's like, oh, slightly thematically related to things that you know him for.

Fucking, we're doing it ourselves, shut up. And we're not allowed to use big, heavy horns, so. Yeah. Instead of boi, it'll be a flu. And you know what? He came out and he mentioned Texas. So his job is done. I'm from Texas. Yeah, I see. Are you sure? The Maconnet, hey, look like he had emerged from his car. I mean, like his energy was like I woke up, did a line on the dash, and now I have to do this thing. And he's got the big T on his chest too, already as well. Yeah, look, it's gonna take a lot more than a fucking muse to

sucker me into, oh god, damn it, when did I start let's playing this what happened where am I They dropped a little supermassive black hole and then they split it up so that when I tried to sing along I Couldn't the lyrics stopped and I was like fucking Yeah Hey free DLC god of war Ragnarok, Valhalla. Freeze the best price of the next week. Yeah, that's fun week.

Yeah, good. That game's combat is good enough for a bloody palismo. Is that what it is, yeah? Okay, it's a it's a rope like Mode where enemies will have different conditions and they'll be rearranged And like yeah, it feels like Ragnarok Valhalla's like the only obvious thing you could have possibly Call day well it feels like if there was a third game They would have had the second game be named the Halla and the third game would be named Ragnarok But I mean they're gonna leave the second game. Be name the Hala and the third game would be name Ragnarok, but I mean, they're going to leave the setting after this.

So, okay. Like, hey, no, it just as you could have been God of War, Valhalla Ragnarok. Right. So cool. Free LCs good. Untitled Goose game to have house house making big walk. And it looks like a Keta Takahashi game.

It just looks like a- It does. It looks like no B no B. Yeah. It just seems like you're hanging out with some cute friends and you're all just chilling. And you're that bird? You're the bird that's dwinking the water. Yeah, the bird, the water drinking bird.

Community. Sure, there's always got to, like, I assume that it, like, the thing with it is that Kate Attackahashi will design the world, the characters, and a couple of mechanics, and then leave it alone because he's like, well, I made a toy. I don't care about it being a game. I want it to be a toy.

But I assume that the Goose Game folks are going to have it do a couple other things. But I trust him. That show was fun. It was good. Another trailer for Prince of Persia Lost Crown. I'm, that game looks fucking sick. I love the traversal. I love the traditional Prince of Persia camera point of view, wall climbing, jumping, moving around, etc.

Time fuckery. And then seeing it in combat, it was pretty sick as well to see like setting a time, a return point, attacking on one side, and then using it to continue the sequence from both sides and shit, like, it looks pretty sick. I like what I see from that. So I feel like we've been seeing it for, you know, marketed at each one of these recent game shows and stuff,

but yeah, it's if Prince of Prisha is gonna exist in that style of form while Assassin's Creed is you know the the flagship then sure that's what it used to be minus the time fructory. It looked good but I've been so burnt out on Ubisoft for so long that I'll have to. I'll see if my emotions can sort themselves up upon. Yeah, I mean, I remember like I also was like, hey, look, it's 2D Assassin's Creed and they're going to China and they're doing, you know, like it's and those games were great. You know, that was so hard.

But, um, yeah, I, I'm hopeful with it for at least because you know, that was so hard, but yeah, I am hopeful with it very least because you know, hey fuck all that shit Scullin' bones is out in 60 days of demo coming out this week and Then our February is dropping. I bet this game. They're contractually obligated to release and have been jerking themselves around on for 10 years is gonna be Good, well, I got like I asked that as watching him like is this going to like has the nation of Singapore Been destroyed in the process of releasing this game or are we out of the woods? What are we? I feel like if the game bombs and also sucks, Singapore is gonna sue them anyway. That's probably happening.

Yeah. Helplay 2, Senua Saga. Again, if love the first one, real good. And it's nice that like the Ninja Theory logo is like, it's like a positive association now. Yeah, look at that. Hey, you guys are up to some shit. Yeah, no, I legitimately, yeah,

I was like, I remember we'd see that logo and it used to just be like fucking stifled gaffas. And, bar. Also, hey, shout outs to weird European shit Having a cool aesthetic for that man's performance For sure get a bunch of druids up on stage. Why did it last time as well works really well and You know that like this game with this binaural audio has always been like really awesome with that that

This game with this Binaural Audio has always been like really awesome with that that Element and then the Faces and the details and such what the characters are really strong, but like that extra gap across the uncanny valley is caked with mud and dirt Yeah, just fuck up just make the characters build these Dirtiest faces smaller details are hidden by Super high-end dirt and I know what high-end dirt looks like and details are hidden by super high-end dirt and I know what high-end dirt looks like and video games do really good high-end dirt. Absolutely.

You know. It's a good idea. Take them, take them and fucking guck. Yeah. Signing with Saga. So yeah, the first one was really solid. Signing for that. What was the other one?

Oh, Akumi Nakamura came on and showed off Kimu-ri. Which looks cool, but also doesn't look like anything. No, what it is yet, I saw some city ninjas doing stuff and the Ghostwire Tokyo style, like doing mystical ninja shit in a modern setting vibe was was certainly there, but we don't know what perspective or genre or anything about the game is, but looks stylish, you know, we'll see. I heard that you called it woolly bait. I would say that's that's not quite true, but no, why chat called it woolly bait. And I said yes, yes, chat, it's woolly bait. Ah, okay, well no, why chat called it woolly bait and lie I said yes, yes chat. It's woolly bit. Ah, okay. Well no you guys are no

I I'm not quite there's that like I'll let you know what urban ninjas you like ninjas and you like urban stuff. I mean Yeah, I guess but like you like the jet set ready Yes, and I will let you know in anything that looks in that style I'm that's absolutely willy-bait I'll tell you right off the bat when when it's coming in hard this this you are a known You are a known Perveyor of the idea the Japanese games are just superior even entirely Subscribed to one of these fucking channels

It's like these are good. You know the holy Kamea And then all on the left is like one of their favorite games is from one of these franchises and all those Franchises are really good. You probably fucking listen to spear hunter Yeah, what you watching Video there we Amazing amazing, you know this boo. I just fucking meme. I don't want none of this western shit I look at the Japanese version though every every year it comes around and every year. It's so funny year it comes around and every year it's so funny. Hey, so somebody did some digging the first instance they can find of that image is on our sub.

Perfect. So from 2020, which was when last of us too was coming out. So that is probably one of our people getting that at us and then just going down the friends of the channel. Like this thing going you, you, you, you, you, you. We're not exactly beating the allegations when you type in Japanese game or company and that subreddit is the second result for multiple. It's the second result for a lot of things. It's the second devil make crime result.

I think it's also the second Resident Evil result. I think it's second bayonetta. I think it's like, yeah, just the second devil make final I think it's also the second resident evil result. I think second bayonetta. I think it's like, yeah, just the second result on all things man. Incredible. Well, anyways, no, y'all are not on the mark with that, but nice try. I'll let you know. I will let you know when I get fully baited. Okay, so will you like Jetset Radio?

What if instead of this game that I thought kind of looked like it, you instead had Jetset Radio? Literally. Yes. So there you go, right? We get the confirmation with that. I mean, honestly, like, good shit for them announcing like five things at once. And it's all just, here's a screenshot of the game and here's videos of an inaction. Here's Chris. And they all look at least at a glance. Pretty good. Right. Crazy taxi coming back. Golden Axe.

So streets of rage is already back, but why not be backer? Why not be more backer though? So I was watching the trailer and I saw all the games in 3D and I'm like, that makes sense. And then they cut to Shinobi in like super high res 2D assets. I'm like, yes, that was the right decision for Shinobi. Yeah. Although I still have a fond aesthetic memory for the Shinobi 3D with a stupid long scarf. Absurdly long ridiculous scarf.

Yeah, it was good. Did you see the interview? Some people at Sega did about like, what was the impetus for these five games? It was that like Sonic Frontier did really well. And Sega became convinced that there was a big audience for Sega games. Wow. And it's like Sega, Sonic Frontier is the first Sonic game you let have a regular death cycle in like 15 fucking years.

Oh my God. Like Sega just literally forgot that they can make real videos Jesus Christ Oh, that's so annoying God damn it. Okay, well we're here now. That's fine. Did you see that? That interview went on to Include virtual fighter. No, I did by now. No, what was that? I think that might have been Gene's interview,

but I'm not sure. Basically, they're looking for, there are more games than these ones that they're looking actively at. And Virtual Fighter is mentioned specifically. That was your interview, Gene. Thank you. Thanks, Gene. I appreciate fighter is mentioned specifically. That was your interview, Jean. Thank you. Thanks, Jean.

I appreciate you asking for me. As to the state, the response is virtual fighters, very realistic. It's not very dramatic. We're looking at what we can do to make it more exciting and more dramatic. So team keep virtual fighter boring is dead. If and when virtual fighter comes back, it will be more dramatic.

But the words were described as looking as in currently actively in a virtual fighter and what to do with virtual. The folder is open. So it something will occur. Something will happen. When? Who knows? What? What?

They're getting heat moves. I'm sorry. They're getting heat moves. So they should, so that putting heat moves in VF would be just like the Tekken Supers and all that stuff. But they should call it heat moves and you should glow. Blue and blue were red. Absolutely. Like it should, and Kira you should be there.

What's the fucking pool? Kira you brings the heat system with him into the world of Virtuflare. Everyone gets a bar now. God damn dude. Cause like, Kiryu doesn't have magic. He just kicks so hard, fire happen, you know? And the fire isn't real, it's just, you know, a visual. But the spirit feels it, a million percent.

But yeah, no, it's like, I didn't expect to see all of these things. And when they started rolling them out and you see the names, I didn't expect them to look good. So that was exciting. Prepare yourself for the announcer to scream, heat action, KO. You know? the announcer to scream, heat action, KO. You know, you know, it's so stupid because it's been like 20 years. But like Sega has just as much crazy shit in their pocket as Nintendo ever had.

The best arcade games of all time. I don't, I think that, hmm, Are they just behind them or is it the same? Whatever. Either right up there. They're right up there. Like Nintendo, Sega and Capcom are like a fucking just just Disney roster. Best arcade games of all time. Beloved just languishing in obscurity. Absolutely beloved. And all they had to do was allow one Sonic came of all time. Love it. Just languishing in obscurity. Absolutely. And all they had to do was allow one Sonic came to just exist normally. Take like two years instead of one in nine months or whatever the fuck it was.

And of course, the manias and stuff is like, yeah, but that's the small speed. It's that doesn't count. Even though we're getting amazing animation and and perfectly faithful sprite work. Fuck that. That's that's incredible. Well, hey, so those leaks of jetset radio were confirmed, right? We saw a little little screenshot or video here and there and that popped up that someone wasn't supposed to see. Dope, all right. Yeah, there's a whole lot of announcements. So I mean, we don't have to go one by one through them. We should probably talk about OD.

For sure. But hold on. Is, is we can, before we open the doors, we can open up my asshole a little bit. What was that? So that it gets blown out by a metal screen fucking returning character with a gun. You know, it's funny, Willie, because you don't often make like really hard foot down like- I often give myself an out. In fact, I even said at one point very quickly

in last week's segment, as unless I'm wrong, in which case I don't know, but, but it's yeah. This is the first time two or three years that you were so adamant that it was so fake. You were just like totally dismissed. I really didn't feel it. I really thought I was right on that one.

And it's like that level of confidence like was so strong that it just multiplied the humor. One might even describe it as a slow and insidious killer. And like to the point where I saw a version of that conversation that was like subtitled so that you could watch it with the sound of the off. Yes, because, okay, so for there's a lot of people that have been waiting for the episode

that you might have missed the initial, because I already acknowledged this back during the show and then again, when we did get into fighting games. So, you know, this is part three of the conversation, but either way, yeah, I really, really thought that was a fake ass screenshot. As did some of Twitter as well, and couldn't be more wrong, it was a real screenshot,

taking blurry camera style by someone at an odd angle, and it was exactly what was depicted, no more, no less. And anyone that had been making leaks in the fan art community and stuff was just not involved here at all. That shit's real elf us here. I thought, and it's like there's one thing about it that's really funny because you were completely right,

which is like, yeah, elf elts is in Bridget's pose. Weirdly. Weirdly. So like I can see it, but also like yeah, I guess I mean on the face level, yeah, Strives Artstyle is not that distinctive when you're just pointing in a character's head and pose. That's why they got all the fancy anime clothes. But the rest of it comes together, though, into a pretty cool design, ultimately. And I think it's, it's like, it's not, it isn't, unfortunately, it doesn't screw, like, it doesn't stand out as much as some of the other designs do for, like,

uh, uh, an update to a character, but she can't be a bride forever, right? Like her design was. No, that wouldn't make it. It doesn't make much sense for her to be that. So like, but I like that. It's like, okay, so now with her being like a metal singer, it's like an homage to her husband that she left at the altar

when her programming took over and all that. And the fact that they, yeah, they kind of, they strivedified her moveset, right? So she went from being... I mean, she looks like she's still a very strong character, but in the original excerpt, and then in Rev, she had such cheap, insanely oppressive-like moves with her ability... Every character that was among the Ramblethal

and Elf Elton, the Valentine's Sisters, oppressive like moves with her ability. Every character that was among the ramlethal and Elf Elton the Valentine's Sisters, homage to different genre and Elf Elton homage to FPS games. So she'd pull out her shotgun, she'd pull out her sniper rifle and I'll do a lot of gun plays and throw grenades in shit. Before they made it so that she could freely throw that grenade or freely aim the gun or just a blast you down point blank with the shotgun while doing cheap shit essentially, just really hard to deal with oppression. And now it's more controlled, but also happy chaos is the real gun. So yeah, happy chaos versus elf felt what type of game am I playing now? I mean her gun is nowhere near as insane as his,

but it's still pretty cool. She shoots a bulletout that goes for a little bit and then tracks to your location, you know. And then she's got a Reka sequence, so she's got like a baked in kind of, if you've ever seen Noel in Blazblue, she has the gun kind of stuff that she's doing on equilibrium style. has that so like overhead low overhead low you know reset

as an easy to do sequence that if you're a brand new player that's just gonna fucking you're gonna melt or if you're using her it'll carry you right away she has a very easy to use input one button input the next one, and she'll just do a string of attacks in a row, and they'll be baked in like high lows, mix-ups for you. But, you know, obviously, like, they're not, it's not a perfect, silly situation, and you can like, hit in between. But very, very strong looking. Her theme song sounds pretty cool. I'll take a closer look once we do a special look. We're gonna have a Guilty Gear player test your luck.

One of the strongest players is gonna come over. We're gonna go back over all these new characters. So yeah, but absolutely, just, just creek that shit wide open, blow in the fuck out, it shows me for making a proclamation. What I, like you said, I almost never do. I usually give a little bit of leeway. Yeah, the first one in like a year, two years, bam, explode.

You know, and for the exact reason of you never fucking know. But there you go. All right. All right, back to believing all leaks. Every single one confirmed. Every single one. I mean, again, I still wanna believe in ultima's little ragna the blood edge, insert into guilty

here at a weird angle, you know, it might be, it might happen. Fucking, O.D., the thing was leaked, the speaking of leaks, O.D. was leaked a while ago, and then revealed now, again, sort of, but horror, revealed by the, you know, if you look really carefully at Jeff, you can see in the reflection of the drool coming out of his mouth as he stares at Kojima. Secrets for the game.

Um, and the eye reflection, of course, in the trailer, I'm sure you can probably get more secrets into that. I'm happy. Oh, do you, are you, are you joking? Do you not actually know the opening door? Oh, are you are you joking? Do you not actually know the opening door? No, the there is actually like over Stair at the character's body and and their secrets in there that people have they have they cracked the secrets I haven't seen them. Yeah, no, no, no, I yeah, okay, so O.D. is is is the genius co-jumbo and mr. Peel is the genius co-jumbo and Mr. Peel coming out of the scary PT. I mean, so I was gonna say that one, we now have hard confirmation with the end in San D stands for.

And, and, and just for anyone that can or did appreciate it, he's using the fucking I got five on it remix from us as his theme song. That's his slacker theme now. That's the best thing to happen. I'm so happy about that. So they come out and they say it's called OD and it's we're going to use the cloud and it's going to be crazy yada yada yada.

And it's Udo Kier And I don't know the lady actress that starts the trailer off, but saying the phrase, the hungry purple dinosaur ate the kind, zing-ee fox, et cetera, et cetera, which you're like, what the fuck is that? But I was sitting there going, that sounds like the quick frog's

jump over the lazy dog. Over the lazy dog. The sentence you say to cut by every single frog is what's called an alphabetic pangram. It's you get all 20 letters in one sentence. Right. The hungry purple dinosaur is a phonetic pangram, which means it uses every phoneme in English language. So, we're already going to the pun nightmare zone,, we're back to the pieces of language being

the core. But if you stare really hard at Udo Kier's mouth while he's talking, you'll see five letters, A-T-A-M-I, which spells Atami, which is the name of a town in the what prefecture is it? The Shizuoka prefecture to the southwest of Tokyo. In the kanji, you can literally translate Atami to three words, which are quiet, silent, and hill. and Hill. So OD likely stands for Overdo. And during the, during the announcement, they said that there was way more big names working on this game than they were ready to reveal just yet which may be referencing Eto and Oh okay She's okay is literally silent hill fuck off

okay okay hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up Because I was about to get I'm getting ready to say I'm happy to hear that he's working on a another game besides death stranding too Because like I was like that stranding cool. We can revisit it. That's dope and all But I'm really interested in whatever one other shitty's got cooking got cooking, including whatever the fuck horror game this is gonna be. There's direct reference there, so him going back to Konami and working on PT for reals. No, I don't think he's going back to Konami. So then what's with that? I think this is called OD.

This isn't PT. So then this is OD. This isn't PT. So then, this is OD. But, okay, so the fact that Silent Hill is a part of that name is just, I mean, I didn't see the word Silent Hill trademark. So we're just, we're quiet mountain then. Yes, we're quiet mountain. We're quiet mountaining this.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Sorry, okay, I miss, I like, I thought the implication that you're, it's gonna start Alex Casey. I thought the implication that was being made there is they're secretly implying that this will be an official silent hill release. No, which is like, that's a make any sense with what they're currently doing at Codown.

I mean, they came out of the PT door. Yeah, right. Okay, the, the, the, the, the, the, the symbology or whatever you want to call it is fairly. We're doing what PT would have been, but we're doing our own version of it. Fine. Absolutely.

All you have to do is just not place it in a town called Silent Hill. That's literally what you have to do. Great. And, you know, low volume ridge, that's pretty good. We had plans to make you shit your pants. We never got those to fruition. So death stranding was able to build the money in the capital to spend on making you shit

your pants now. And this time around, we got Jordan Peel around for it too. So we got Totoro-san, got Ido, damn, damn, if that's actually the case, and if Guillermo and everyone from before is still around and involved, Guillermo and Ito are my assumptions. If that's actually still happening, this game is going to be fucking insane, dude. Or awful! Oh, it might be the star-studded and therefore nothing of substance actually happens because it's too focused on smoking a fake cigarette to be a real game. The soup is not so good with too many hands. But those individual hands are really cool.

We like those hands individually. Maybe the hands will meet up and there'll be hands across America. And then we can just I am. Yeah, if they're just straight up being like, well, I'm not putting my PT concept to waste. Good enough. Let's go. I just saw someone in the chat say that the Kojima needs a a game to bomb to humble him and I'm like there's not it like it's too late. So like one like if if if if are you like saying? Do you it's too late like he would it would never it would never his next game would be all about how Trying to bring the message of his last game didn't work and he would be spending extra time inside himself now Like just going nuts on

and going nuts on why missed his message though, and communication is the problem, and now it might be about people who cannot understand certain things. Maybe you're missing your senses. Maybe you might be deaf to the sides. But like, like death stranding is like so weird and so actually niche, right? Like it's so, like it's like a super big budget, like early access title from an experimental guy out of like Ukraine.

You know, like, like, and that, that, that, that did well. Like any thought that a bomb would humble him instead of making him quadruple down the next time is insane. of making him quadruple down the next time is insane. Are you know what would happen? Like, let's say O.D. is like a massive failure and everybody hates it. Like, you're gonna get like enough people like talking on the internet that he will see going, you people just can't see this genius.

He will make you're too stupid. He will make for this, for this, for this sorcery. He will make the next one That gives everyone all the things they're complaining about for the current one and then just rip that shit away from you After the intro sequence Like he'll be a let it play out and give you all the things are like it should have been this it should have been that And it'll be all about that and then it'll go right back to what he wants it to be. Fuck, man, don't test him, bro, don't do it. Also, like, man, what do you, like,

what can you even say online that would, like, measure up to, like, peel, like, looking at his shoes in excitement? Right. Like, oh, man, I love Kojima so much. I'm so excited. And like big Hollywood scary director. And don't forget the part where 10 years after the bomb, everyone goes, God, damn it, that game was amazing.

It was brilliant and it predicted the future. Like don't forget that part of the timeline too. Right? Where he ends up being right or whatever. Needs a bomb to humble him. You out of pocket, you wild. That's fucking, that is- Man, we're not gonna see shit about that game for at least a full year.

Remember like getting crumbs of death stranding shit? How long that was? Well, here's the thing too, now that the game has been announced in like the leak stage is out and this is the like the project exists Everything from here until not maybe release day, but let's say the final trailer everything from here forward including the playable demo we will get is all lies. You mean the operational demo that we will be getting will be all lies. Every trailer, every interview, every announcement, the only thing confirmed will be the people, the credits, and perhaps the actors involved. Don't believe nothing else.

Um, Norman Reedus coming out, we, I worked on this for four years. don't believe nothing else. Norman Reedus coming out, we like worked on this for four years, I don't think I'm in the game, I don't get it. And then someone has to tell him, Norman that's des stranding. I'm like, oh, right, yeah. And you know, I guess, you wanna go ride motorcycles?

That calm down, Norman. And like I said, there's pictures of fucking Timothy Callomete walking up to the Luton statue and taking a photo. So he was chilling over there, you know, he was. I was saying during the show that I'm like, but this is the part where, you know, before Kojima can send that email off to the big Hollywood starfucker folder to try and get whatever he can get on his side. Jordan can step in and be like, hold on a minute. I'd like to introduce you to John Boyega.

I'd like to introduce you to Vivica Fox, you know, just like get some sick-ass casting choices together there. You know, I don't usually think about this kind of thing, but like the idea of like peel introducing people in his like famous person circle to Kojima who speaks no English. And they don't know who he is and seeing the fucking elevator pitch on why this guy next to me is really cool

when there's no communication. But at the same time, the idea of, again, Kojima sitting in a room with Pam Greer and the week before he watched Jackie Brown and now he has thoughts on it and when he tweets he tweets out a big long paragraph about how much he liked the different things in it as opposed to just saying he saw it. You know, I want to know, I want to see that world.

God damn it, dude. This is going be this is gonna be something Here's what it will be whether it's fucking absolute dumpster fire or the hottest crazy shit ever We will be talking about this for the next 10 Yeah, probably there's it's just what it is man God We're back to memes by the way It's just what it is man. God We're back to memes by the way. Uh-huh We're back to following this dude around and just fucking hanging off of every little what word jokes are here

Maybe if I maybe if I read these a certain way I'll be able to figure out who has a ghost in their ass If I read these a certain way, I'll be able to figure out who has a ghost in their ass. An entire career built in the shadow of one man and his jacket. You know, I forgot about Gord's. Well, it wasn't you because we had a different conversation, but I for, there was a conversation I had like eight or nine years ago in which someone was like, I hate how they changed the arm to be a robot arm. I felt that retcon was stupid and I'm like, no, that's not a retcon. It was an arm being inhabited by a ghost and then he replaced it with the robot arm

and then faked being controlled by a ghost. To himself so that he could convince him. As I was saying those words, I was like, what am I fucking talking about? Like, like holy shit. Yeah, yeah. All right. O.D. I mean, there is confirmed at the very least

that like O.D. is also just in the New York parlance. It's like that shit was sick. That was over the top. That was over done. That was, are you telling me there's the potential that this game's title has multiple meanings? Oh my God. Did you know that strand means beach?

It's like, if there's the, you know, maybe there is the Brooklyn version, and then there's also the Japanese OD, and then there might even be the Guillermo del Toro can bring some other... Okay. There might be an international flavor too, but you can get a fuck knows. I'm gonna say right now, I'm putting a prediction on the table. I expect there to be an audible, voiced conversation in this game about Garfield's roommate dog Odie. I was thinking of Odie the dog while we were just talking just now on a link.

Yeah, I don't know where that fits, but yeah, it could come up as a code conversation. It could come up as a code conversation. And you will hit it and you will be like, give me a break in a world with Princess Beach. Absolutely. Yeah, man, that whole sequence feels like somebody in the team should have got up and walked over to his desk

and just stopped him. That whole fucking thing is so ridiculous. We will be hearing ode to joy. We will be or someone will discuss it at some point in some some reference in some way. Yeah. Oh yeah. Everyone's high on drugs best not oh no Okay, it's yeah literally just we have a jacket on that game that's just never beat Game There might very well be there might very well be a character named D.O. No, there might be. Oh. Hey, well, I was trying to ask my stream the other night and I could not figure it out which one of us said that the S in strand stands for strand.

I guess yes, yes, yes, did you know that you know that the absolute high when we were playing it? Yes That comes from the LP Oh The essence strand also looks like a strand. Oh, it's a swiggle look at it Okay, all right It's a swiggle look at it. Oh All right, um Yo man like I can't pretend that like

Every time we take a look at the the the big ff7r to fucking footage and shit There's always a little something of us like god damn it. I ah I'm so so fucking... I had so much fun with that first one. I'm really excited to play the second one. And I know that we're over playing the Sephiroth card and there's just nothing we can do about it. It's just...

We're milking that cow till it's fucking dry. But I'm nonetheless... I can't wait to see the next sequence. And hey, um, I mean, I, I, we saw Dine looking exactly the way Dine should look. Like, it's one of those like, oh, you up, up, rez his face to, and it's like, yeah, that's what the, you just put him in the, the, the, the next generation box. That's what your brain auto completed. That's what his face looked like.

And in big into him to good graphics. You know, Sid looking there, like Sid, like the, the 30 year old that he is. I'm trying to find a, find a somebody who went through the website because I'm trying to find a description of an incredibly niche character that they showed off in that trailer that now has like a name. It's like dubious. Oh, here it is.

Solomon Gus. Oh, here it is, solemn Gus. The head of the fucking prison underneath the gold saucer. Salam Gus has been given like a massive speaking role and a fucking new model. Okay. And here I'm sending you a photo of Salon Gossier. This guy has like eight lines of,

oh, that guy. And FF's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that guy. Okay, okay, him. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Christ almighty. And you know, it's Vincent, everybody. What are you gonna do?

And since there, Vincent everybody, what are you gonna do? And since there, and you're going to go out on a date with Barrett and clouds fucking dead for sure. And we got a new song. Yeah. You see them posting like tweets about like the moment where Earth is about to get stabbed and they're like, what could happen? It's like it's, it's just the most something to, I think the biggest twist they could possibly

do is have everything go off the same way. The exact same way the twist is actually the unexpected. Like straight punch. Like you get all the way through the end of the game and it's all been different and things change. And it's building up the only moment you thought was gonna change. And it goes down the exact same way.

Yep. Yep. That would shake everybody. That would get everyone going like, wait, what? Yeah, 100%. That being said, like I'm like 100% convinced that somebody else is gonna die cause in the original plot,

like, Eric's death is the reason why Sephiroth loses. Like it is a one to one. It's his big mistake in his plan. I hope that Zach's gameplay will have enough crisis core reference in it as a replacement to be pretty cool to combo through the rest of the team in the system. I bet we are going to have at least two sequences in which we have to wheel cloud around. Yes.

In the wheelchairs. Yes. When he's all like, in the wheelchairs. Yes. When he's all like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, yeah, FF7 or two. They did a big musical performance in trailer and then they were like, what's the most anticipate? For producers. Yeah.

Warframe update. Yeah. Featuring one, uh, uh, fucking Ben and Neil Nubon as characters in this episode. Oh no shit Ben stars in it that's cool. Yeah nice good for him. Ben stars playing the uh the main character of Warframe 99, 1999 and Neil Nubon apparently is playing some kind of fucking talking space fish. I don't know about that, but And then Clive and Asturian kiss. Yes Yeah, bunch of stuff

Apex final fantasy Burpardurper Derp that was so weird. Hey uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh So I haven't played their games, but I imagine pretty good fit, although usually stealth is part of the deal, right? Although not for death loop. Well, Blade can do stealth too. It can't. Yeah, death loop had stealth. Oh, did it?

Yeah, okay. So that's an unexpected collaboration. Pretty cool. It is, people are on the chat. It is going to, it is, uh, people are in, uh, on, sure, in the chat. It is going to be third person. Oh, sick. You will be able to see the blade, man. Fuck yeah.

That's cool. Um, I, maybe if this game is on time, it will come out in coinciding with the forever delayed Marhoshala Ali movie. Oh, that's not going to come out. I have no faith in that. It says 2025. It says a lot of things. Says blade isn't it? I'm surprised. And I don't believe that. I mean, look, I know, but I'm surprised that like, they'd go straight up to be like, oh yeah, let's reinvigorate and give him a game right off the bat. Like I felt like they would want to, you know, test the waters of putting the movie back

out and getting people to care about Blade again before going into it. But I don't know, people like Blade. Yeah, absolutely. And Blade's tool set fits perfectly in with like the Dishonored formula. Cool. Running around, jumping, doing not quite teleports, but like, you know, there was a in Sona 2, you had a, what essentially grappling hook, melee combat, crossbow combat, gun combat from death. Yeah. Like, I can, like, you know, one thing and I was something and you just, you can something and you just grab a character

and just drop it into place, then just pull the camera back. Yeah, you can do that with this. All right, there you go. Just fucking up some vampires. Super cool. And it's the French studio that makes good games. Not the Texas studio that makes bad games.

Wow, that Blade Movie was announced in 2019. It sure was. Oh, I did. Well, it's another two years. When they were showing off some of that stuff, there was that one trailer with that had like grappling into mid midair shooting down above the Titan looking thing and I thought that was looking sick and then the next

on logo popped up. Pray was Austin. Oh, no, I'm sad. It is like, well, serves me right. Uh light no fire. Shout out to shout out to the two. He retweeted it. He retweeted it. I saw it. Good for you, Sean. Good for you. Okay, Sean, don't over promise. Just say we've been working on something and show some clips. You can explore a, no, no, no, no. The level that's big is the earth. I'm making earth.

It's better than the earth. It's bigger than the earth. So he retweeted that and just wrote, fuck. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Fuck. Cheers. As he was doing it, like I'm watching and you're seeing Jeff's fucking smile on his face as he's

like, uh-huh, okay, all right. And he's just like, he's just head in him that shovel. You know, and it's like, there's no wrap it up for Sean Murray. Keep it going. Whatever you want to say, baby. Dig. Let's go. So that being said, I looked at the Light No Fire trailer a couple times. Great names. I love that name. Very good name. It is very clearly built on the back of No Man's Sky. Like the way you see people walk around, the specific type of environment clipping when you see a dragon flying around. It would be flexible if it weren't for all the time.

It would, you know, the time and work they put in. And I look at this and I go, you know, despite the fact that I love space a whole lot, this is actually much more appealing than the No Man's God. One detailed planet. Yeah. Especially since they're like, instead where No Man Sky was like putting multiplayer in there was like kind of pulling teeth.

This one is clearly designed as a multiplayer experience like first and foremost. Yeah, I mean, I guess I definitely want to see see more of the fictional settings and the wild things going on. I'm sure some of it will have like, spore vibes as well. It kind of looks like what I wanted Valheim to be if you remember Valheim. Oh yeah, yeah, where you're with the building and the resource tree choppin, et cetera.

Yeah, the resource tree choppin, et cetera. And it is admittedly a, it's not a sci-fi setting, right? Like it's, it's- No, no, it is over fantasy. Yeah, so, but it looks like an overt fantasy in the same setting of No Man's Sky. Like there's enough design, like elements, including the game's logo, that like it almost feels like maybe this is just one planet out of the way in No Man's Sky that nobody got to.

Just the way the trees look and the way the terrain kind of looks, because it's in the same engine. Yeah, it's funny how like boat that tight like that is such a Western video game title. And metaphor, refantasio is just the peak Japanese title. Like these, these are the exact antithesis of each other in naming convention, you know? Well, cause they're both in English. One is like a native speaker using like an idiom for their purpose and the other is cool words words are cool

God damn it, man, and I love it. I love that metaphor has a terrible terrible time. It's so bad Like I love shit like zone of the enders. Oh, that's fucking high. That's hype though. I look yeah, but it sucks, dude. I fucking I love it, but I'm like, there's also, well anyway, it's just, it's the, it's the,

re zero undernight in birth, you know just just everything that is just The letters as a as an aesthetic as opposed to what they actually say or Yeah, and it's just it's just it captures. It's so well here, you know Damn Well you know, damn. Well, I feel like Simulier came out and like,. And then he's like, hey guys, yeah. Here's a trailer that makes the game. That was me. Hey, FF16 DLC. So the first one is out and I think they released these in the wrong order. What was the names again? Oh, patch fucking 5.2 and 3.2. 5.2 and 3.2.

Was there a live letter that I should have. There are my. There are my. There are my. Sorry, 6.2 and. And okay, okay. Yeah. If you know, you know, you go find the real patch titles, the rising tide. And see really the Rising Tide.

Don't you mean through the mail strum? Echoes of the fallen. Echoes of a fallen star? That one's really funny. What's that? It's the. Well, I mean, it's going to talk about the fallen from in the world of FF 16, but what is, what is that? Is's the, the, well, I mean, it's gonna talk about the fallen

from in the world of FF 16, but what is, what is that? Is that an actual 14K? Those are the patches in which you fought Leviathan and Omega. Okay, okay, okay. And the, the, I got WIP lash at the start of the DLC trailer for Leviathan because they say, welcome to Mara Citya.a and it's like that's an FF 14 location that has never been to wait is it?

Okay, what the fuck I do so when the rising tri-trailer popped up and it said yeah Welcome to location and it's panning over this this landscape and I looked over at min because I was like I feel like this is a 14 place that we're being shown here that is like, oh, we're going there, that's cool, they're tying them in. And he's like, no. Oh, it's my city, oh, shut up. And so when I turned to him to love like,

is that a 14 thing? Cause it feels like it might be their padding past a 14 thing. And he's like, no, and I was like, oh, okay. Hey, the, hey, chat, the Omega thing came out. Is LARBURD and StarBURD in there? Is it in there? You got LARBURDs in there? It is not, all right, they had the good sense.

So is this location then not from 14? I don't know any of them. Okay. I do know that they put these DLCs out in the wrong order. Cause five and you want us like a big dungeon where you fight Omega at the end. And the Leviathan one is like a, we don't know because not out yet, but you'll get the Leviathan powers. Yes.

But like the way that this game is going to, like that DLC is going to come out is that you'll do the Leviathan DLC and get the Leviathan power and then be able to use the end of your complete file. True, true, true. Having a new icon would be cooler before the final challenge. Admittedly, yeah, that's good point. Then, oh, shit, yeah, hold on. I got a spout from real quick. Sorry. Good point. Um... And then... Oh shit, yeah hold on, I got his bathroom real quick, sorry. Um, okay. New mana game. T-T-Sorry.

V-Viv-Vivins of Mana. Yeah. Don't quite have the child like... Like inability to pronounce the words that it deserves. Um, the hooray! That's a, that's a nice, uh, yeah, re-return to that franchise after, after a very long time. Um, I wish I didn't like have that, that, uh, I guess that rough start with it when I tried out the, um, tried it out a long time ago and I just, I never got into the man it games unfortunately.

Oh really? What was that rough start? I'm not, I'm not sure. Um, I talked about it probably years ago. And, you know, I mean, whatever here incoming fire on this one, because it's a beloved franchise and that I know. I played on Super Nintendo. I think it was taken to SSU3. There's no way you could have actually played that on a Super Nintendo, because it never came out. No, no, no, no, it was it would have to be Secret Mono one or two. Yeah, it was, it was, it was, it was, I, whatever I, whenever I played it was emulated. It was after the fact that, Oh, then you might have played it

because the translation for that came out like really early. Okay, so I played, yeah, I played something emulated and I think it was that because I had a lot of friends that were really recommending it for sure. And I know, ever more, I know it wasn't that because ever more, I do remember that was the one that was advertised as like the kid dog false through time the dog and the kid with the hat backwards And it was the western looking one so it definitely wasn't that and that was in the video store with the red monster on the box

so yeah, I think it was taking that to three and I just yeah, it's it's really simple But it was just and it was just like I just didn't really enjoy the the combat or Like what was happening for the first I played it for a few hours I think and I kind of just wasn't really enjoying it. I don't know like I think as well Like I had had a friend that was really hyping it up as like better than link to the past and You know, it was one of these things where I was kind of just coming at it like going like, okay, well, I'm not sure what to expect.

I'm not doing that. I know I'm guilty of it. I know. I know I'm guilty of it. But I just were, I came into it like not getting it all, I guess what I expected and I just I wasn't enjoying what was happening, but it's been so long. This is like 20 years ago or so probably, you know. Yeah.

And then I, that was my experience with mana, unfortunately, you know. But I know that like, I mean, so many people fucking love this shit and it's gotta be a reason out there for sure. It's just, I had that way back when, and that was the, I think, Sega that says who three was considered like the best one?

Yeah, it was. Absolutely. Yeah, okay. Right. And it was like one of the tragic game. Oh, I can't believe never came out. Oh, three characters, I think. Main command dude. And then girl and then small. I think isn't twiles of mana, a remake of Sega and then sense and then small. I think isn't Twiles of Mana a remake of Second and Sense of Three?

Okay. By the way, I should mention because you look really confused every time I do it, the reason why I keep saying Twiles of Mana is because when you're on the main menu in that game, a new click X, a random party member will say the title of the game, and one of them is a little girl who will literally always say, Twiles of neon on. Okay, okay, okay, got it, got it.

Yeah. I'm like, what am I? Apparently Vinnie had that happen to him a weirdly disproportionate amount of times when he was playing through it. I mean, you gotta love the roulette that is the, which voice actor is going to say the title? And in our case, so like, fucking, as I'm in the middle of, of dumping ass, just having Luca come in and go, Bayonetta three.

Like, after that ending trials of Mana has a, a Mana has an interesting distinction. I'm not sure what the circumstances behind it are, but it appears to be the only game I've ever seen in which the voice actors were given no direction at all for any scene. Because whether or not they're supposed to be yelling or quiet or sad or happy is random? Well, this is clearly not the only game. This is joining the likes of chaos wars and oh, but that's not a real game and

That other one Fuck with the big sausage That other one. Fuck. With the big sausage. That could be any game. No, it's the one that has the box with the big sausage and the little anime girl with the fork and the big, big sausage. You know the one.

I don't. If you know, that could be a lot of games. If you know, you know, there's one, it's an Xbox game. And on the side of the box, there's a little anime character with a fork and she's got a, what she's holding up a gigantic, yeah. Anyway, okay. Well, um, bad, bad dubs, ahoi. Okay.

So I just lot watched about 20 seconds of a part of the scene that the yeah, the straight up sounds like chaos wars. Okay, there you go. Like the straight up, the straight up sounds like I really can't fill my body right now. Yep, I really can't fill my body right now. What's the other fucking game? Shiki got me no shiro. Castle Shiki got me. That's the other way.

In fact, is that the one? Hold on, is it Castle Shiki Gummy? For Xbox 360? Is that checkout? It doesn't look like it is. Wait, no, this might be it. Oh, that might be the box. No, that's Xbox Classic.

Nope, that wasn't it. Okay. And that bad voice acting rules. But it has to be, this was really bad. Yeah, oh yeah, and that's the thing. So the reason why we know is because so men and James Small, and I like, it was all back when the fucking QA trenches

and shit, we'd be like, yo, check out the video for chaos. So I was like, look at this shit, this game's amazing. And James Small would be like, I gotta track down these games with the worst voice acting and spend the entire night getting drunk and listening to it. And she got me no sheroe was one of them.

And the fucking record of Agarist War. Yeah! I'm looking for record of Agarist War. Thank you. I'm not crazy. I'm telling you. Which one is it? There's a lot of Agarist War. It's the naughty edition. The naughty limited edition record of Ag rest war and that too was among the list of games of like what the fuck is happening?

We got to hear this shit Yes, wow that looks like a fucking edit That looks like it Shout-outs to y'all you actually track that shit down. I appreciate it. I'm telling you. Look at the fucking look at it. Anime girl can't eat that sausage. It's too big. It's too big. She's trying the naughty addition with the boob mouse pad and the the the the the the peep at the uh the onsen fucking box cover art

shit cancel man uh bring that back um yeah and and you know that that and then I think the only other thing like there was that really cool looking mecha game that I was like, is this a Gundam game? And it's like, no, it's a fucking battle royale. I look at the robots do their thing, and it was stylish as shit. And I forget what it's called, but it had the word mecha in the title. Mecha break? Mecha break.

It's a battle royale game. Fucking, I'll play a fucking battle royale. Fucking mechas. Make a break? Make a break. Um... It's a battery-al-game. Fucking... I'll play a fucking battery-al-fucking-mechus! And it had that, and it had that, you know, this-this high-speed boost dodging and shit. So... Go! Do it.

Can I beat 47 other robots? No! But can I beat four? Yeah, maybe Oh, man, I would just take a guns the duel with robots in it stop talking about guns the tools been decades Monster Hunter Wilds So I guess actual open world connected and not like open level. We don't know that quite yet.

We knew there's gonna be a big focus on wildlife, but panning the camera over a large vista. That's kind of what that shot means, right? Marketing language says, but also go where? It's our now birds. True, true, palamuth. And also,

this is gonna be a slow monster hunter. Yeah. I mean, is there anything that you could tell if you're like a monster hunter sleuth? Now I'm wondering like that zero, did you fucking scan that for like, there's a couple things.

While you're running past the monsters the way they're behaving does that give you any you know, yeah, no that's just a shit ton of not apt enoughs. There's never been anything larger than like a pack of four in the games prior to that. You're being chased by a bunch of, um, You're being chased by a bunch of, it looks like the Goss Harag rig, but for the desert, but there's four at once. So that's weird. That's a lot more monsters than you'd usually deal with.

He has two weapons. Important question. Oh, that'd be a big fucking deal. For the monster hunter fans Mm-hmm are y'all more excited by the monster or the weapons and armor it gives you I I would well the because the you can always count on your weapon coming back so Definitely the monster. Okay, I would guess the monster

because the monster is a unique interaction and the weapon fits into an existing category. It'll just have some traits, but it'll otherwise be familiar. But that's just a guess. Kind of both, huh? Okay. Yeah.

Like this trailer, so like one of the more interesting things is that the the The gentleman who got his channel stricken for mods the the video in question was what the grikeest look like in sunbreak and the guy Chris is a Was a snake waver or Leviathan wiver and whatever, it's a type of body rigging that doesn't exist in the newer monster hunter games.

Okay. That, like the Leviathan, the flagship, the fucking logo of Monster Hunter Wilds is Leviathan. Okay. It's like a big long snake monster, which also coincidentally has six circles and its tail makes a six. So they're never gonna go back to numbers.

Oh, so it's easier, it's the implication six in there. Okay, yeah, okay. So like, I would love fighting laggy. I thought laggy was great. I would love to see laggy back. Yeah, I guess if the armor is sufficiently sick to that's like a whole new fashion thing. Oh God, dammit.

I just saw somebody type in M H W. And I'm like, fuck. World and wild have the exact same abbreviation. Oh, so that M H W O M H W I. Remember? That's why that's versus that's terrible. We all love specifying that's I like this. But you can't you like we can't just say DS is the freaking part. I can't.

All right, did. Yeah, so then the only thing to is dinosaur games who were the ones that pitched, uh, Jetset Radio Neo, I think, uh, as a concept to Sega, and then it was rejected. They revealed that what, uh, that footage, maybe a year or two ago of a version of Jet Set Radio that they wanted to make for Sega that would involve like rhythm being part of the spraying and the skating and stuff. And it was a cool concept.

It looked like it could have been a fun thing. But you know, they got rejected because Sega was like, no one's gonna buy a Jet Set Radio game ever, that's fucking crazy. Get out of our office. You're stupid, get out of my house. And then they started turning that into its own project as you don't want to waste that effort understandable.

So after that reveal for the new Jetset Radio, Dinosaur tweeted out some footage of their game and basically went dang, say goodby to the punch. Well, anyway, stay tuned. So yeah, that sucks, because like, when they were saying get outta here, no one cares about Jetset Radio, they said that because they were working on Jetset Radio.

Or, or they legitimately did not know or believe until Sonic Frontier's proved otherwise, as you know, and then they're like, oh, okay, remember. How long ago did they show this prototype to, you many years ago. Oh, well then, shit. Yeah, this is going back to like before

the re-releases on steam, you know. And then bomber cyberpunk fucking happened too. So if anything, this is just another version of win jammers. When win jammers, too, was supposed to like not happening. There was a bunch of games that all tried to be win jammers at home. We had like disc jam and the other one that the name I forget. And none of the more win jammers. And there were announced that the same yeah, like time or almost at the same time or so. There was a whole thing.

And then I want to say we were then told the story about how wind jammers twos trailer dropped. And I think it was this jam or the other one. They had a booth at that same show.'re like and they were just sitting there hand in head Just like God fucking damn it We're not even out yet and we're promoting and they just tease the return after decades of nothing You know what was someone in the live audience please help me out. What game came out in early access before Monster Hunter World?

And it was like, are you sick of waiting for Monster Hunter? And then they started up their process. And then Monster Hunter World got a... Dauntless. Oh man. Oh, that's what Dauntless was supposed to be. Yeah, Dauntless was like, oh man, we're never gonna get

another Monster Hunter game. Here's Monster Hunter and you can play online with your friends and it's made by Western people. So the online will be good. And then Monster Hunter World got announced and then Dauntless came out and it sucked. But like, it was supposed to release in an environment in which there was no comparison point.

Damn, okay. Yeah, because then, because I mean, yeah, now there's wild hearts. And, um, isn't there another one? Took Eden. All right, right back in the day. Boy, and freedom wars and, um, And Freedom Wars and God, there's a lot. They have all crashed upon the rocks

of the eternal shore that is Monster Hunter. God eater. Well, look, you gotta do your thing. Soul sacrifice. That's why you gotta kinda do your thing and make sure that you're paying the homage, but it's also enough of your thing to still be worth it regardless if the thing comes back, right? Because, I mean, bomb rush cyberpunk, if it got delayed at all, it would have been

post a new Jetset announcement, but that game existing is awesome regardless of Jetset radio, you know? Again, it has fixed a bunch of that stuff and improves on some of it. So it's like, you wanna make sure that your replacement slash, no one's ever gonna do this thing again, is also not just like, well, it's not great, but it's better than nothing.

And also, there's nothing about it that you haven't already seen, lifted one to one from the source material. It's gotta be enough of its own thing that it's worth releasing anyway Here's a good example somebody mentioned it solid is in the chat mentioned it Project wingman came out in a or started development in a period in which that didn't look like there was ever gonna be another ace combat game And then some ace combat games came out but project wingman is still a really good Ace Combat game.

Awesome. Just doesn't have the name Ace Combat on it. Yeah, whatever you're working on, you shouldn't have your lunch stolen and then the whole project is not worth it. Lies of P, right? You've said that Lies of P seems like it's gonna be bloodborm at home, but it's gonna be so much better

than that. Oh, it's way more than that. And that's fantastic. That's a really, that's exactly the type of shit that you should be working on, you know? Lies of P is so good. Great, great. Yeah, let it be more than the sum of its parts. All right, let's take some letters.

Hey, if you want to send in a letter, make it good by making it short, and then it to castle super beast mail at gmail.com All right metal snob from AK says Dear one of them and the other one Hey, what's the cringiest music that you still listen to unironically Wonder what caused this to come into oh

Man, I've got an answer every everything I've ever listened to is cringe You might still catch me listening to some enia you might still catch me listening to some Enia when the mood is right. And it's all right. Yeah, but like there's, because it's like a bit of a, it's like, it's a meme, it's a goofy thing to, you know, like,

be cruising down the street blasting, who can say where the heart goes? I mean, that's a weird context for it. Only time. But I would probably say Lincoln Park honestly. Yeah, I mean, you're a good album. But like enough, but there's enough added like it's no longer you're not it's not a courageous thing.

Evanescence Lincoln Park that are those are all back around and everyone's like not asking for courage. That shit rules no one's going to fuck it be like that's cringy. It's like, no, I'm asking for courage. That shit rules, no one's gonna fucking be like, that's cringy, it's like, no, the era of the, Oh, no one! The era of those things. Tell me that the kids blowing out, their speakers listening to Falk remixes by Memphis Colt.

I'm saying you're gonna say Lincoln Park is cringe. The era of people thinking, Evan Essence and Lincoln Park is cringe is cringe. You are, you are. That's it has come back around hard, kind of like South Park in, in a way, you know. I don't think that's true. Yeah. Yo, dude, let me tell you a story. Let me tell you a great story about listening to music, okay? Couple days ago, my walls started to rattle. Like rattle. Like shit on shelves started to, because of the base outside.

And I was like, what the fuck? So I went outside and I'm like, honestly, I wanted to be like, where is that even coming from? Right? And I walk over and my next door neighbors, teenage son, and like, 10 of his friends are standing outside looking at his car, which is like vibrating, and it feels like the screws are gonna come out.

And I go, dude, is that your, and then I realized the situation that I'm in? And I'm like, dude, is that your car? And he goes, yeah. And I go, dude, my books are falling off my shelfs, man. And he goes, yeah, I know, I can't play it because all the neighbors complain. And I'm like, he watched me like walk out

from my front door. Like, it's the first interaction I've ever had with my next door neighbors son. Right? And I'm like, and I go like, where are you even gonna play that? And he goes, I don't know. Uh, I got 12s in there. And I don, where are you even gonna play that? And he goes, I don't know. I got 12s in there.

And I don't know what. But that's what he's like, yeah, it is, isn't it sick? He knows. And he's like, hey, sorry, I just wanted to show my friends, you know, how it gets. Okay, man, just be careful. How? And I went back in.

And I've now realized what's happening because like every now and then, like every two, three days, I will get like 10 seconds of like base attacking my house. And I'm like, why is it so strong? And why am I only getting it for like 15 seconds, right? Until I realized he's like going on like a drive where no one can stop him.

And then he's pulling into the drive right and turning it off. Yes, correct. And I'm like, this happened at like 12.30 PM on a Saturday. So like, I'm not gonna be a fucking asshole about it. Is like teenager kind of like kind of? It was like 15, 16.

Yeah, okay, okay, yeah. And like, I, my thought walking back to the house is like, that can't be safe to drive. Cause like, I could feel it 150 feet away through my walls. Oh, I'm here. I don't know how you can exist inside. No, no.

It's, no, it is, it's, it's, it's, you, there have been like the kidded out fucking bass drop, speak subwoofers in your face it's, it's, you, there have been like the kidded out fucking base drop, speak subwoofers in your face and shit are set up that your hair blasts back. You like you, you're fucking, you're destroying your ears permanently, but that base, though, that drop. And so I don't, I don't know what, what 12s in a car means. I assume he means 12 inches, but I don't know where 12s in a car means. I assume he means 12 inches, but I don't know where that is on the scale.

I'm going to assume that what happened is he massively, massively overdid it because he thought it was cool. That's the best of all. And now the minimum volume of the car is too much. I mean, maybe or he's doing the thing because there was an entire era of make your car vibrate as you hit that base so hard and then get your date in the car and then crank it up so that it blasts and shakes as much as possible.

Right. And that's a whole thing and see if you can get it yourself a little fucking sound. Well, this is so romantic as I'm bleeding for my ears. Isn't it hot? But like he wasn't rude and it was a relatively pleasant interaction and I don't want to be the guy. The neighborhood coming up the house. People's fucking houses on a Saturday.

You did have that was a red check, and you did have a Harry moment where you could have yelled, Yeko Katah and jumped on the dance floor. And do do do do do do do. You could have gotten in there, you know. But that's that's fine. That's the only thing that would actually get me

to go back over is if like the baby was snapping and it woke the baby. And I would be like, dude, come on. I got like a little baby. See, because the real thing is when you don't go over, go over, but the cops pull up and they go, there's a noise complaint. And now he knows exactly, oh, I'm not going to know. No, I don't believe in that.

But that's what that's it. But then he knows exactly which house to Egg Bob on next Halloween. I don't know. He said that all the neighbors have already complained, so I think I was the last one. I like, fair enough. You know, you got the right and left, and then you get the front and back. I feel like the front and left ones already got to him.

Okay. Okay. Fair enough. Good interaction. Yeah. You could have been, you, you, you averted that being that guy and having the, the, the permanent energy now be like, here comes the fucking boomer.

Yeah, it's trying baby. So it's got a really weird energy to it already. Oh, my baby needs to fucking sleep. He does, he's a sleepy guy. All right, here, one coming in says, hello Santa Claus and Cranpas. Okay, Canada weighing in for each of you personally, what's the first word that comes to mind collectively when you refer to carbonated drinks with lots

of sugar and usually some caffeine? It's offering soda. I will also accept the substitution of pop. I want to know what Canada thinks about this long running American dispute. I and everyone in my life calls it soda. Everybody I grew up called it soft drink because that's the English translation of like Bozon Kazars. That's fine. We can live in harmony as long as we don't live with those freaks that call it.

I want to put some on fucking blast. Because if you call it Coke, your goddamn insane, Coke is a blended beverage. And that has a specific designation. And if you call it Coke, insane. Go. You can go. Just like the messages,

I just don't see. Don't do not remain. Coke, all caps, all Coke. Nope. Nope. You can go, do not remain. She asks for Coke's and then expects them to ask what kind of Coke.

Hold on. Here's the trick, here's the trick. If Paige asks for a coke, she gets to hide in plain sight because she actually wants a diet coke, right? Okay, because she, she, because she would, but if she wanted to seven up,

she would say a coke and then ask for a seven up because she's crazy. Okay, but if she asks for a coke and someone brings a coke, yeah, is that a problem? No, because she, that's what she wants. someone brings a Coke. Yeah. Is that a problem? No, because she, that's what she wants. She wants a Coke. Okay.

Like, Paige is nuts, but she's dodged this problem. Get off my phone, man. No. Oh, she messaging you now? You're insane. A Coke is a specific type of beverage. Specific. It's literally got a trademark and copyright single after it.

What kind of cops do you want? I don't know what Dr. Pepper, that's not a type of Coke. No, no, I'm not even. That's like, that's like, like Mill America down too. That's like a huge, that's insanity. Stop it.

Fucking stop it. Like I can live, I'm like happy with soda and I can live with pop. Cause like once you go to Ontario and go west, it's like pop forever. I've heard. I've heard, I remember like my history teacher was describing how in Europe, like a lot of the time

there'll be like, if you offer, if you go like, hey, we've got like Coke, we've got like Coke, Pepsi 7 up and root beer, what do you want, ginger ale, they'll be like, well, that's all the same thing. What other, what, like that's all a category, but do you not have also juices and coffees and teas and what are your other beverage, you know, and it was just like, there's a broad expectation

that like a carbonated beverage is gonna be one category of the many that you will have. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, look, whatever. Sure, I don't know anyone that calls it pop, but I'll take that, that's fine. Soap pop. Now that I'm out in BC.

It's the same word. A lot of people say pop. Soap pop, it's coming from the same word. Yeah, soap pop. And then like, if I say soft drink drink you'll like croak your eye, but you'll let you'll know what I mean right It's not Kleenex. It's not a replacement for the entire concept Alright, you know, it is a little hypocritical of us to to mock the the coke drinkers While simultaneously going to the store

to buy our craft dinner. Well, I don't really eat KD. So. But what I mean is, KD isn't just KD, it's all mac and cheese. Oh, yeah, well, no, for sure. And when I have a mac and cheese from a mac and cheese place, I'm gonna call it. It makes for the craft dinner. No, I call. And when I have like a mac and cheese from a mac and cheese place, like, I'm gonna call it, thanks for the craft dinner.

No, I call it mac and cheese. Ha ha ha ha. No, I got like, like, that would be insane. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. No, that would be insane. No, because Katie has the specific type of fake cheese shit that like, you know, it's the powder. You have to, that's a part of it.

If you're not getting that, it's not cakey. You're like, the, um... All right. Last one. I love that woman so much, but this coke shit... Sometimes. So is there some insane backwards, like, place where they call... They say Pepsi when they mean all... Beverage of... Yeah, I'm carbonated for my food when I was growing up.

Inverdone. God. But you have to say, like, Pepsi, uh... of carbonated for when I was growing up in for done. God. You have to say it like Pepsi. Yeah, like Pepsi in May, West. Watch for our Pepsi. You should play. Okay. Can't tips the Pepsi.

Spam, I'm going to go split. Okay. What kind of Pepsi do you want? I want a coke. All right, greeting was Wollion Pat, been talking with a friend about the dark urge and the way it was described was trying to not randomly kill people or party members. It was akin to Miyazaki resisting the urge to put in another poison swamp. So with that, my question is,

what are your favorite examples of a director having a dark urge? Oh, okay. I mean, number one with a bullet is Tarantino and his feet. It's easy. Like he cannot help himself. It is physically incapable. Number two is Camillaha and afterburner

Like he has made me dislike afterburner and afterburner was my favorite arcade game when I was a little kid Because the because the machine was so cool and would tilt you and shit mm-hmm Like with the what the feet thing like after kill Bill Everyone was on his ass about that shit wiggle your big toe was such an insane I think obvious gratuitous moment and to then quadruple down with once upon a time in Hollywood and all Robby is once upon a time in Hollywood bad oh my god it's the worst that's ever been like okay like after the kill bill thing and everyone's like dude come the fuck on the scene in once upon a time is it's nothing but foot so to me dirty hit to me so I haven't seen once upon a time in Hollywood but to me I remember

sitting there I was with you watching death proof and yeah fucking leg is out proof. And uh, what's he's fucking laying out the fucking window and it's like the whole wide shot. Dave B. Dozy Bleaky Mitch and Titch. And I'm just like, and it's just lingering and lingering. And I'm just like, it's fucking, he can't help himself. It makes you feel like you're sitting next to someone beating all of them. Exactly. It feels dirty. It feels like he can't help himself. Like he almost feels shame in it, but he's enjoying the fact that you are chastising him for his shame.

Like us, like calling that out right now, is part of the enjoyment actually. Jury players. And then the leg is the part that flies. Like the whole thing feels like snuff porn. It's all in the leg. It's all in the leg is the part that flies. The whole thing feels like snuff porn. It's all in the leg. It's all in the leg. Absolutely.

Yeah, Tarantino with the feet. Number one, easy. I would say afterburner with Camilla. It's, we make fun of him. Every time Camilla has come up in like five, six years, we have made like made fun of him for the afterburner shit. And then like in that time period, games have come out that have had afterburner shit

in them that we've been like fuck. To his credit, I believe at some point you, I think you said, do just make a shmup and he did. So, you know, he actually did go and make Soulcresta while everyone was like, what the, could you just get or like fucking please, you know. Yeah. All right, all right, that'll do.

We good? Yeah, we're good. Okay. Bye! you
