Castle Super Beast - SBFC 055: Cut out the Middleman, Just F**k the Wig

Episode Date: August 26, 2014

Big boy had a big week! We talk about Otakuthon and cosplay, trade depressing documentary stories, discuss some Smash Bros leaks, new trailers and breaking announcments hot off the presses!

What are you watching there Liam? Trailer for that reborn elemental bullshit. Are we starting? Yeah. I don't even know the name of the game man. It was a trailer for some... You caught him unprepared. Feudal fantasy sci-fi.

I just throw you under the bus. I threw the bus on top of you. On top of me and it broke one of my arms. Well they can do that. Some feudal sci-fi JRP action thing from some Niponichi guys but not all of them and it's American. You don't have the name and you can't describe it accurately so... I described it pretty accurately.

It was on Kickstarter though. It was on Kickstarter when it went away. So it went away. And now it's just reappeared on this like... So go on Kickstarter and search for Japanese game and you'll find it. You'll find it. It's there. Right next to the other Japanese game.

You'll find another update for Project Phoenix you don't want to read. You don't want to read those like you look good. I don't want to read... No, I don't read a single fucking Kickstarter message other than fill out this form so you can send... Or here's the backer portal. Or here's your code. For a second I was going to be like, do you just flag them a spam?

And no, just... And so like... Did you scale up your mighty number nine rewards? No. No. I don't like doing more work. Yeah, I know. But the funnest ever was just voting on the Skullgirls characters.

Of course. The words. That was great. Because you just get to look at a ton of concept art. Who do you like? Pick. Exactly. Waifu Wars.

Also this girl can pick up bodies. Yeah, yeah. Also this. And also this. Like food for thought. Think about these mechanics and how fun they'd be. Yeah, exactly. That was a great policy.

You can put down a chair. That's policy because it lets everybody else in the whole business just steal those ideas. Yeah. But then everyone knows. Like you're super exposed. Who's everyone knows? Who's everyone cares? Who's everyone else?

Mortal Kombat 10? Yeah. The Chainsaw Incidents? The Chainsaw Incidents. The Chainsaw Incidents. Chailing from American developers? Yeah. They're not that shameful.

Yeah. If Tager comes back and he has the press punch once and then a second time to do an extra shotgun blast, like Brutal Style, everyone's gonna know. Imagine if Sakurai opened up a Smash Dojo that said, here's our ideas, which ones do you want? Like cheese. These are the ideas we currently own. These are the ones we can own, kind of, and these are the long shots.

You have to vote for this one a lot if you want, you know. If you want things. Like we wouldn't get out of that without an actual death. Yeah. Yeah. At least one. At least one. You know?

It's gonna be a good time. It's gonna be a good time. Back to the good brawl, smash bros.com days. Yeah. One thing that would pop, that is, would pop up on Kickstarter if you did look up Japanese stuff right now, though, is Under the Dog. Under the Dog. Which needs some help.

That shit looks great. That's that anime, right? That's that quote-unquote movie quality anime, which it is. It's a short. It sounds weird to say it. It's an OVM. They're like, pew, pew, pew, shoot the guns. Shoot the cool guns, actually.

I'm really cool motorcycles. Call it cool guns. Reminds me of the noir a little bit and a couple of those other girl with gun actions. Yeah. There's one that I heard about. No, guns like a girl. No, there's another one that's closer. Kite.

I'm not completely sure. Kite, yeah. The one where the- Nezoforte. There's a bunch, isn't there? The one where any of us see the kite movie at Fantasia. No. No.

No one did it. Apparently it's bad. I don't know. Great. The one where the bullets fly out of their boobs. That's the, yeah, that one. Oh, the Grenadier. Grenadier.

Yes. Why'd you do that one? Of course I know that one. I didn't say I'm via health. Yeah. Under the dog, not tracking too well though, right? Did you, did you, did you see how it's going? I did.

It's got 12 days to go. I know, I'm following it. And it's barely a half. I know. I assumed it would do well because it's first date at like 10% or something. I looked at it and like we briefly like talked about it a bit before last week. Yeah. The character designs and the art look fantastic.

Personally, the story is a bit, to me, I wasn't liking the summary there. But I would like to see it happen. Of course, yeah. It's not really getting the amount of needs. No, totally. But that's a lot of money. It's a ton. It's a shame, especially after they had the other successful Kickstarter for Project

Phoenix. It's the same guys. Okay. Yeah, exactly. Wow. Let's get it on the bus really fast again. Well, you know, they're all professionals and they're all just like we want to make cool things.

They've got the staff for it. And not work for, and not work for Musashi marketing. If you've got the staff for your pre-production team is like, I'm not doing anything right now. And I want to work on them. And the trailer that they showed off, or like the clips they showed off. They were really pretty. They were like, they were finished.

Yeah. They were definitely great. Hey, we're going. Welcome to the podcast. We're going. We're by. See you next time. 100.

Dude, I am sleepy. Are you sleepy? A little bit. I had the Red Bull. It's not working too well. It's not. No, it's not done it for me. How are you?

You look at the label. You're like, oh, this is a slob. I had the big pills last night. You slept me out. Yeah. It was a nice time. You feel good and rested? I do.

I do. How about you, man? How do you feel? 50. 3. I'll say 54. 55. Wow.

55. Close enough. We're now, you're closest without going over. The podcast is now eligible for weird old people benefits. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 55. I'm just the other two.

Dude, we were barely legal. Do we help with your bags, sir? No. Help. I've fallen on it. I can't get up. We were jailed just the other day, and now we're fucking worrying about it. They grew up so fast.

Hey, guys, did we grow up so fast? Yeah, we did. Yeah, we did. So why are you tired, Willie? Well, it was an action-packed week. We all, I mean you and me. It was an action-packed week, and the weekend was very pronounced. Action-packed.

Yeah. So a doctor's don happened this week? Yeah, it did, but like, there's shit that happened before us. Oh, was there? Oh, yeah. Oh, well, help me. Tons of it. Fill in the dots, man.

Okay. Fill in the dots? You said it. You said it. I don't know, the dots is not a real thing. No, don't. It's one of those surveys. Connect the dots.

Connect the dots. Let the CTBS test. That's where you fill in the dots. Quick thinking. Yeah. Quick thinking. Just don't want to say anything. Let's take us all the way back to immediately after last week's podcast.

That's right. We did. That would be Monday evening. Yeah. So we did the persona cast, and on the way out, you and I, Pat, went over to Five Guys. We did. And that is where we continued the SMT cast. Yeah, we talked about them all the time.

It went from the persona cast into, like, I need to know exactly how and why God was killed. Yeah, so this guy asked me, okay, Ride 0-1, where does that fit in? And I'm like, oh, boy. So, yeah. Let me see if I remember properly. So, like, the whole fucking timeline was covered, and, like, I'm super intrigued now. I probably made some mistakes in there.

Probably. But close enough. Enough to pique the interest, and now I'm super, I super want to get involved and find out what's going on in some of that. Well, you never want to. Yeah, you do that. You go, like, into that back room of the internet, the conspiracy YouTube video of the guy piecing like lines of dialogue together.

I'm good enough. Okay. I'm just going to play devil's song. And I also forgot to mention last time that I just wanted to say, like, God bless Aaron Fitzgerald, because holy shit, I went back and listened to old Chie. Oh. This isn't our chance. Is this our chance?

So, people are going to stab you in the street now? That's fine. I'll take those stabbing. Did you just diss their true waifu? I'll take it. Because fucking, like, Voice of Parasol and a bunch of other cool shit in games probably knows how to do some voice acting. Probably.

Choosing Danganronpa as well, I believe. I'm sure. I'm sure. So, like, that Chie is the Chie that I know, and I'm really glad I didn't have to go through the first one. Kido or Goku is better than Sean Shemmel Goku. Yeah, there are some crazies that think that, but come on. It would have been, it would have affected my decisions probably.

Sean Shemmel's guts, man. Right. If I was like, I like this character, like the voice of Parasol. Well, yeah. Could you imagine going out with somebody you just couldn't listen to? Right. Stop talking. I can't.

Sign language and braille. Whatever, you know? Yeah, so that was really interesting. After that, Snowpiercer happened. Yeah. Now, that's a movie. If you guys have not seen it, that is based on a, I want to say, is it a manual? Okay, okay.

You know, it's European. I actually think no. It's a French comic, and I looked it up. It's a big day. And it built a lot of Snowpiercer, is vastly different from the plot of the comic. Really? I only read the Wiki page, but it is so different that I have to go read the comic. Okay.

It's like, wanted like that way? Oh, no. I don't know how I think those differences are for one and ten years. If you can't find it around, I know that one comic store that I walked in, and they had it, but I didn't think it was going to take a while. That being said, if you guys have the opportunity to see it in a select theater in your hometown, what is that? It's also on video, like it's on Xbox video, probably on BSN as well.

Catch it, catch it before it's gone. Before it's gone forever. It was a little, I've read people saying it's the best sci-fi movie in years. It's certainly good, but I was a little hyped up for it more than it delivers. There's bits and pieces that you can like, you know, nitpick. But in general, the post-movie discussion was like really awesome for me at least, because there's some great like food for thought with the premise. I love movies that are a moral dilemma turned into like a story.

The entire premise is that. Yeah. And like there's a lot of movies like that and a lot of stories that go that way. And like when you handle the material intelligently and you kind of go like, what is your actual solution to this problem? There's no good solution. What you want is the plot to be a socratic argument. Yeah, if this and this then blame.

That's what Star Trek is. Absolutely. Like there's a lot of great stories based on things like the ones who walk away from Moment Last or the lottery, you know, and every time those come up it's like, here's our great, great starting points because fuck if there's a good answer. It's always great when there's a bunch of action and stuff happening and it leads up to a conversation. Yeah. That's a good way to put it.

So that was really cool. And then nothing happened and then it was accurate. So yeah, take it away. Dr. Thon sucked, man. The con itself and Liam is way better equipped to determine exactly the why. That was my least favorite. As to why it sucked. But like, holy shit, was it like overly crowded, poorly organized, lines out the wazoo.

Which makes no sense to me when you're in the same venue as you were the last time. I had a really fun time and like, I was a total pleasure meeting fans. I got to play a lot of rounds of like, smash and stuff. My fun time is because of people that were at that con, not because of the con. But at the same time, as one of your first fun experiences, a lot of that is just how cons are. Oh, gross. But that being said, the venue was double booked. Which is like, Shane on whoever let that happen.

Remember at Magfest? Our room was being booked with some sort of, like, astrology club or something? It was weird. There was another thing going on. It was double booked. So the congestion was like way nutser than before. Like, that was a big problem. The game room was just sad.

Like, Con Bravo is, what, a quarter of a size? A third of a size to talk with all? Well, you know, but they had like fucking, they had dudes like... They had good organizers. Vince and Drekken that came out. Yeah. They brought arcade cabinets. No, definitely.

A ton of setups. You're right. You're not wrong. But like, the core matter of it is that when I got there, when I got to Con Bravo in our southern game room, I was like, yeah, this looks nice. I'll spend some time here. When I got to the game room at Otogathon, I swalked right the fuck out. The only solution is that I can walk back to my house and have a better game.

I sure can. The League of Legends area and the Toho area were fantastic. And the Toho area is better every year. And it's fucking excellent. All the games that mattered. And Vanguard Princess next to it. Of course. Stop talking about Vanguard Princess.

Did you check out the little Pokemon area at all? I did. The handheld area, aka the 3DS area. Well, it turns out like that's run by a guy that I used to work with. Yeah, sure. And he was kind of explaining to me what was going on. And I was like, oh, you're just doing like an XY turning type thing? And he's like, no, not even.

What he's doing is that was the start of a League? Yeah. Exactly. And so what there's going to be is like across town, there's going to be gym leaders. Yeah. And you've got to go find them and get your badge. That's been growing in popularity a lot recently. That's a really cool concept.

I like that. And the easy race meets Pokemon. Sure. And of course, there's also the fighting game section. I went, I chilled with some of my friends and they had their tourney and whatnot. I popped over to some guest commentary, which I haven't done in a while. Some quiet guest commentary. Well, yeah.

It was mic problems. Yeah. You know. No, you did it there. Yeah, absolutely. Anyway, it was fun. I missed the days of like doing being the hype man. Sure.

You know, whatever. But of course, Charity took that as he usually does. Well, he did. And he totally deserved it. Charity, why do you go home this city? Boy, do I wish they could have that. It's on my fault. Boy, do I wish they could have a video split or something.

Yeah. Because the lag on that thing. The lag set up apparently pretty bad. It seemed like they had like a 10 frame lag on the projector. And the game selection, the game selection, you had Marvel. Of course, you had Ultra. You had Blaze Blue the day before and Unio. Yeah.

Which I was not expecting. Are you not excited for it? Under night in birth, EX late. Yeah. Oh, so that's what it... Yeah. You mean under night in birth? In bath.

In bath. In bath. So what it said to me, wouldn't it be really funny if you go to like a con or something that's in Quebec and they force like homebrewed French fighting games and like they know there's not street fighter but there's like poutine fighter or whatever. I would love that. Yeah. I would unironically adore that.

That'd be amazing. Language police combat. Shit. They had a smash tournament. Excuse me. Merth. Yeah. Merth.

Yeah. There was... I noticed that they had a melee setup that was way more crowded than the Brawl one. Yeah. Despite the Brawl one being the actual tournament. Brawl's dead in Montreal. Whoever organized that event didn't know Brawl was dead in Montreal and said let's have a Brawl tournament.

And that was wrong. They must have been blinded by their emotions towards Brawl. Well, like the melee street... Oh, eyebrows. Eyebrows. Eyebrows. Eyebrows. Yes.

Injokes. Injokes. Yes. The important thing to me is that I got it. I don't even care if you got it. And you did a dumb, like, movement with your hands. I did the dirtbag vinegar pointing. Oh, I always get it.

More than anyone can ever do. Yeah, that's true. But that being said, you know, there was that. Then there was the dealer's room, which was a dealer's room. It was a dealer's room, but I'm always sad at the lack of video games that I talk with on this dealer's room. I found video games in New York is amazing. Well, that's it.

They are always the best fucking game booth in every con dealer's room. Well, if you want import games or if you want, like, sealed PS2 games, but if you want weird stuff or stuff you've never heard of, you need an independent, like, indie game store to be there. And there's just about one, not enough. When I go up to you and I go, like, hey, do you have, um, fucking hotel dust? Hotel dust, yeah. And they're like, no, but we've got the last window.

Yeah. It's so stupid because last window is more red than every time it does. That's what I mean. This is the third con in a row where you've tried to find it. And they have high rule warriors sitting on the table. Of course. You know, like they said, good booths. Yeah, they import it.

No, they're great. They're fantastic. Just you're not going to get your SNES and your G-Cast and your other weird stuff there. Also a weird stuff there. Really large artist alley. That was larger than usual. Really large artist alley. Like I have the same problem I do every year, which is like all the Udon guys come down

and they buy the really big booths and the con organizers put them in front of the artist alley. So people walk in and they buy these nice prints from these Udon guys and the artists in the artist alley just get ignored a lot of the time. It's something that, yeah, you're right. That is a thing. There's two tiers of like artist alley people where there's one that's like in between being a merchant. Right.

Sometimes the artist just jumps to the merchant side because they're like, fuck it. I can afford it this time around. Which is the expensive tables that the artists have. Does anyone know how our dork friends did at the artist? They did pretty well. They did pretty well because they did well at anime notes. Yeah. And your friend did all right as well.

Yeah. And they've got it down to like a science team. Yeah, they figured that shit out. That went all right. Besides that, just walked around the counter. Not much else. Didn't really check out events. Didn't really check out panels or whatever.

Why would I want to check out events at some anime thing? Fucking check the fuck out of that Cho Ginga though. Yeah, that guy was cool. He walked. I saw some really godlike costumes. There was a Cho Ginga girl walking around with spinning drills and light up brilliant energy. Willie, are you sure that wasn't you? Did you see the hex?

Did you end up seeing her? I missed the hexadecimal. So there was a hexadecimal that was walking around. Perfect hexadecimal. But in addition to the perfection of her costume, she was also underneath around the shoulder to her head wearing pure black body suits. Cool. So the face area was, it looks, in photos it looks like a void. Willie Expose is having a faulty reboot sense.

So it looks like a complete void. And what she had done is she had studded magnets around that void and had like six nests on her. That she could wave and do the actual like perfect mass transition simultaneously. Fuck. Are you scrolling for pictures right now? I'm scrolling for a photo. Put it somewhere along with this podcast. Okay, show me please.

I'm trying to find it. It's taking a little while. I always have fun at the like shitty like fake Japanese food cafe. Yeah, you like those. I hate when they have the English people in front speaking Japanese. But the food, I'm always going there and eating this shitty Japanese stuff because I hate myself. And this year I went for the curry. I love Japanese curry.

I've eaten so much Japanese curry in Japan. When I got to this stuff. Sorry, sorry, this hex is amazing. Sure. When I got this Japanese curry on my plate and I was like, this must be the equivalent of Japanese prison curry. Or something. Because the quality is so low. In fact, I'm sure that curry is like far better.

I'm sure it was a netto. Well, yes. There's a very distinct difference between curry and netto. That's why after any con that happens at the Palais de Congres, you should always go to the secret best spot, which me and Willie know is the really shitty buffet in Chinatown. Oh yeah. It's so bad. It's good.

I hate that place. I love that place. I love it too. You have to be steered away from that place. Because we were a giant group and it was mostly out of towners. Yes. And we were kind of lost for a second. But then I remembered where the good place was and we went around to the good place.

You were thinking about it. Yeah. No. But yeah, it's not great. It's so bad. It's not the best. Their pizza's alright. Yeah, that Chinese buffet pizza's the best.

But no, there was also the, well I guess for Pat and I, we just kind of like met up with people and then left the con on both days. That's where fun happened, away from the con. Yeah. And special shoutouts to the people we hung out with including the big bands from the last con who gave us a copy of Gacha Force. Holy shit, nice. I guess now I get to play Gacha Force.

There you go. All right. So you guys play Gacha Force? Let me see the back. No, here we go. It's because so many people wanted us to play Gacha Force, but not that anyone had to, but no one ever sent a copy. So now we actually have one now.

There you go. You can't escape. Yeah. Thank the band. Wait, this isn't the game that I thought it was. What did you think? I'm thinking it's Amazing Island. You're amazing.

Amazing Island. I know you do. And we can play that too. Both of you are friends. So yeah, thanks man. That was really cool of you. I had a fun experience this weekend where I woke up so hungover, I thought I was dying. Nice.

And called InfoSante. Nice. Because I thought I was having a heart attack. Yeah. All made to be told, no. You're telling me it hurts, sir. You're an idiot. Basically, in polite, more polite language, like go take a shower.

I told you. A beer before a liquor, never sicker. A beer before a beer, you're in the clear. Well, yeah. I guess that's what it is. But no, Drunk and Dive Kick ensued. And of course, as it usually does. So good times were had by all.

Dude, new Baz. Oh my god. Like we never talked about it. Yeah, but at the same time he's so different. I know. It's still viable because basically they changed Baz and Dive Kick so that his mighty swing is his main move. Yeah.

His last help or kick. Baz Koken is now his special. And it's weird, but you can still win with him. I find it easier to play as him, though. I missed the old days. I like just dumb gimmick play style. I missed the old days a little bit. He's still pretty gimmicky.

Yeah, you got a point. You got a point. And then I've got like one more thing I did after that, but you guys. Well, you saw Che, remember? What? Yeah. No, I'm just laughing because this guy saw Che cosplayer. Just full body gas.

Yeah, like I'm looking at Willie and I see him. All his eyes go wide and go. What? It sounded like a raptor noise. And they're like, oh, there's Che. Like, oh, that's it. Yeah. That's it.

Yeah, welcome. Welcome to the horrible world. Because at Con Bravo, you did the exact same thing when a resale was around. And like we basically just had this conversation where it's just like. Why don't you just fuck the way? Just let's just like all the matters of the way. Just pay the girl $20 for a wig. Take it back to your hotel room.

Because the wig literally changed heads later. And Pat was like, oh, I thought they were doing the same person. And Pat was like, oh, no, I just realized something about myself. Can you guys film a video where you're going on dates with the wig? The wig is at a table and you're like getting an expensive meal and you're taking a napkin and like putting on the wigs and all clean up your mess for you. Close to home. I know it is.

That's why I suggested it. Oh, my God. Yeah. That was funny. But yeah, Matt. What was up with you guys? I didn't go to the con because I had like super adult like doing stuff growing up things to do. So I had to look at wedding venues, which is actually incredibly fun from a standpoint

of, oh, shit. Oh, my God. We don't have this money. So we looked at two places. That sounds fun. One that's actually very easy for all of us, like everyone in the downtown-ish area to get to. That's near Park Jean Trapeau.

Super cool place. It doesn't cost that much to rent its space, but that's all you get. You rent the space. Everything else has to come separately. And that is the stress. That's where these guys need to be here. These guys need to have there, whatever. Then we drove the next day to another place called Castle Voldroy.

And I was disappointed to see it was not a castle. So you're not hiring a wedding planner. You're doing it manually. Doing it manually. So we go here. It's up to you and me, Willie. It's up to you. Do I want it to be good or do I want it to be shit?

Yeah. So we go to this place and then they go, everything is included. Every bit, all of your guests have a price on their heads. Of course. So anyone take a stab about how much 100 and 100 people would cost? Well, it's probably like 200 bucks a head. Like $9,500. How many course meal do they serve?

A meal is there. It's a course meal. Well, everybody throw in their guesses and we'll just see who's the cost. How many guests? I said 9,500. 100, 120. So you want an estimate per head? No, just a general thing.

How much do you think? Well, Castle Vodroy, that's in Vodroy, which is on the ass end of Montreal, near a lake and it has a giant property. I want to say like 8,000, but that is probably more than that. No, I'm going like 25 to 30. 24. There we go. A little much.

Well, under Price's right rules, I still win. You do. So we opted not for that. Dude, I've had to look into venues for renting out for tournaments. I know how those things go. It's not great. Yeah. So we're looking and we want to have a Halloween wedding.

That'd be fucking hype. Have more movies playing on the projector. That's a fun theme. Yeah. And so aside from that, like... Playlist, story playlists. I was thinking. That's a bit self-indulgent.

It's a little self-indulgent, but I think you can do it once people are filtered out. Yeah. And like there's an episode where you're shitting on all of your guests and you don't remember when you were shit talking to them. I still remember. I also, like when we saw one of these venues, I got kind of drunk with my girlfriend's family. It was just actually really funny because we were all... We ate at the Italian place again.

Amelios. Amelios, yeah. Then we went before Snowpiercer and we're all like, yeah, it's great. It's fun. And I'm like, I can't talk about video games. They don't know nothing. Oh, what else is in my life? Nothing.

The girl, they know her. They know her. They know their daughter. Oh. And then I went to her sister's new condo. We just played five hours of Cards Against Humanity. That's a good game. I did really well.

That's a real good game. I won one whole two 10 cards. Yeah. I went to 10 cards and I played Cards Against Humanity once before. And then I had to always play apples to apples. Yeah. And then I was like, okay, now I see why everyone says this is different because these cards were written by us.

Yeah. Well, that's it. Did they have expansion packs? The guy had spent over $100 on the game, getting all the expansion packs. You can look over in that corner. I got all that stupid shit up. That's about what it costs. The bigger blacker box.

Yeah. We also, the girl had gotten her whole TV setup, right? My future sister. Her entire TV. Her TV setup. She bought all these packages and we go, you don't have HBO. You don't have this. You don't have that.

She had one movie channel and it's playing Jurassic Park 3. And then no one has the energy to turn it off. Yeah. He just watched like 45 minutes and everyone's like, William H. Macy is in this. Oh. Taya Leone is in this. Dude, like that fucking movie, I have a guilty pleasure though. Why?

Because as much of a piece of shit as it is, I love the little piece of a shit. Yeah, piece of a shit. That's not even the whole one. I have a little thing where I like the Raptor Gaiden in the movie. The Raptor Gaiden? No, it's the smart Raptor pack that's just trying to get its egg back. I like the little side story. And of course, he has that stupid like inside of a skull that he printed with 3D printing

technology and he blew into the skull to stimulate a raptor sound. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not great. I also watched really quickly on Netflix, two really good documentaries. One about Ray Harryhausen. We're all familiar with Ray Harryhausen's thought-motion animation. And the other thing is that we all know what thought-motion animation is, right? And some people out there might not know, but it's Nightmare Before Christmas.

Let's say. I had that conversation with my girlfriend the other day where there's a new thought-motion movie coming out. I forget who's behind it. And she was like, oh, they're showing how it's made, where you move and then stop and move and then stuff. And she was kind of like, well, so what? That's how they do it.

And I'm like, what did you think it was before? And I was like, did you think it was CG? Did you think people drew it? I don't know. It just happened. I thought it just happened somehow. As a kid, you don't know. Then you get older.

But the other real weird thing about it is that when you actually, and they show behind the scenes stuff, and it's one guy. It's Ray Harryhausen, one dude. Yes. One guy's taking the pictures. Yes. He's manipulating these puppets. And I actually sat there and I was looking at him and I'm like, I still don't understand.

I don't understand where the plates of the nothing that's happening, that's where I get fuzzy about how it was done. You know what I mean? I don't know what you mean. But when they have a live-action people reacting to nothing, how, with the technology and the 50s, how did they insert it? How did they insert both pictures? I always get fuzzy around them.

I assume on the film, manually. With a pair of scissors. With a pair of scissors. That's exactly it. And towards the end, they show all those cutting and I was like, cut it! Yeah. It was pretty crazy. It's a bit of a primitive way.

It is a pretty primitive way. And I highly recommend it because it talks to Peter Jackson and James Cameron. They all say, we wouldn't be here without these movies. I would never have done King Kong if whatever. And then the other documentary right after that is, maybe you might know. You know the name Drew Struzen. I don't. A lot of people don't.

But it's the guy that painted every good movie poster ever. Oh. Every Star Wars, every Indiana Jones. Yes, yes, yes. Tons of them. Absolutely, yes. And this got really depressing because he's a cool guy. Whatever he did all his work, he made his money.

He's awesome. I love doing it. There's two things that took away is that one of them is that he talks to George Lucas. And Pat, you'll find it especially interesting is that they have George Lucas and him and they're looking at the posters that are hanging up in Skywalker Ranch or whatever. Right, yeah. And George Lucas proceeds to do this George Lucas thing where he says what he likes about it and he describes the picture.

I like that And Solo is standing here in that pose. You know the And Solo pose. I like this creature. He's looking at you. Having no idea what he's looking at. He's looking at an object and then suddenly I will, instead of saying my feelings, I will give my expository dialogue. They do this three times where Drew Struzen, the artist goes, uh, yeah, George.

You know that's how it is. But it's still unbelievable when you hear that. Because those ones, specifically the first one, you study that because of the composition and the fact that your eye travels in a circle and then comes back down where it's supposed to. And every time you leave the frame, something pulls you back in because it's brilliantly designed. The negative space is also a part of what is designed in it.

When the first movies were re-released and the special edition re-releases, they asked the artist, can you do one poster for all three movies? And he goes, that's stupid and dumb and you guys are stupid. I should do a triptych that connect. And then they go, oh, yeah, that's way better. And then the other thing is that he did the poster for the thing, the 1980s thing. Remember what the poster was? It's light shooting out of a black figure's face.

Because he was told, we want you to do a poster for the thing. And they go, what do you want? He said the phone call and said, I don't know. Just do whatever. I don't know anything about the movie. I'm just a marketing guy. Just do it. We need it in nine hours.

We'll send a courier to your house. And he does it. And he makes the most awesome poster ever. And then they pick it up and they call him. They complain and go, this paint's still wet. And he goes, what do you want? Give it a minute. Give it a minute.

Let it dry. And then they talk to Frank Darabont, who directed Green Mile. He started walking dead the show. And he goes, that's my favorite poster ever. And he shat it out over a nine-hour period. And he goes, he's my favorite artist ever. In Bad Box Art, Mega Man time. Yeah, exactly.

And the last thing I took from him, I'm like, wow, this is depressing. And this will really depress you, is that Guillermo del Toro, a huge fan. I want to see Guillermo del Toro just fucking cutting loose and just talking shit about tons of people. It's amazing. You see James County goes, oh, I really love him. Sorry, you didn't say the name of the thing. What?

What are you talking about? What movie are we talking about? The documentary. What is the name of the documentary? The documentary is called Drew, The Man Behind the Poster. Oh, it's the same one still. Yes. But they've talked to Guillermo del Toro and he talks about,

OK, I created, I made Hellboy 1. I made Hellboy 2 and I made Pan's Labyrinth. For all three movies, I asked him to do the poster. All the marketing and all the guys said, no, we refuse to put this. No one will buy this. You need photo shops. And he goes, and then Guillermo del Toro goes, I will pay him out of my own pocket. I brought him to have the poster.

We still refuse. So Guillermo del Toro used it for special edition theater rungs. And this is around 2005, 2006, 2008. That's when the artist, Drew, retired in 2008. And said, no, nobody wants these movie posters anymore. It's just like video games. It's just like video games. It's just like us like video games.

Oh my God. This is the real thing that I got all depressed. Because when James Cameron, all these guys are talking about it. He goes, these are the idealized versions of Harrison Ford and Han Solo and all these characters. This is what these things look better than the movie. Because when you show an image from the movie, it says, never is exciting. Because look at this poster, look at this Photoshop thing that came out. And I'm like, oh my God, they're so totally right.

This is the romantic version of this. That's why Mondo is so fucking special. That's why Mondo is so good. And that's why they're so expensive because they're so rare. But people don't want that anymore. People don't. People want faces. No.

It's not that people want faces. It's that they don't care what's on the box. So one of the movie guys catches their eye and looks good. Yeah. One of the movie guys said. But they're getting data that says, go with faces. Go with, yeah. One of the movie directors of a lesser movie said, the director of Splice, if you remember that when I do that.

Yeah. He goes, he goes, the marketing guys don't want to pay an artist anymore. They want to pay a Photoshop guy that sits there for three hours and does it. Yeah. They want to pay a guy to make a painting for three weeks because they don't want to wait. So they go, listen, here's our research. We ask movie goers, which one of these posters, this painted one in this Photoshop, which one wants to make you buy more popcorn? And then the person goes, no, neither, I guess.

They're both good. And they go, see, there's no difference. So go with the Photoshop. Right, right, right. And they say, that's what a movie marketing guy do. That's the type of data they look at. Every time you look at focus data, every time you look at poll data, every time you look at survey data, you have to look at what they're asking and how specific they're asking. Because you can massage any number.

We knew we were making a joke about that at the hotel that, hey, man, you want a Bandai Hydrogen Monoxide? It's everywhere. It is coding your children right now. Yeah, their playgrounds are surrounded by it. Yeah, exactly. It's in all of their food. Well, I forgot to tell me this, but someone took a research methods class where the first thing the teacher says is, guess what? Data is bullshit.

Data is bullshit. And we're going to spend the first half of this class teaching you about how you can massage numbers. Oh, yeah. So that you can't just pull it. Like, everything without context doesn't necessarily mean you're getting the honest answer. Exactly. Which one do you want? What doesn't matter what popcorn you want?

Yeah, the Patriots are right. He warned you. Yeah. He warned us. And speaking on that, I started up a new game of MGS3 to play with my girlfriend because she's like, what is this Metal Gear thing about? And you're like, oh boy. Now I'm going to give you the time to bail before we're proper married. At what point do you think a person that is not familiar with this will play in MGS3 and go, wait, hold on, what?

And what is the cut scene in MGS3? Why is he covered in bees? Why is he covered in bees? Why does that old guy have eyeballs on him? Oh, yeah. Who's that? What's that ghost? Introduction of the Cobra Unit.

Introduction of the Cobra Unit. She's looking at other stuff, looking at her phone because I'm just talking to the silk law of doing whatever. And the Cobra Unit is introduced. She goes, why is there a ghost? Who is he? Why is that guy there? How come that helicopter disappeared and then came back? So does she like it?

Yeah. Then she's like, okay, this is really stupid. Let's continue this. So I got him to the pain and she goes, is this that stupid bullshit Pat is screaming about? Yes. At Con Bravo? And I go, yeah. She goes, that guy's really dumb.

Oh, she's really dumb. But then we go, it's the same thing as when we're going Mr. Hart's the best. Everyone give Mr. Hart your energy. Of course. And the pain is Pat's Mr. Hart. He's covered in bees though. Okay. So I was going to say, I did the documentary thing too this week.

And like that, you mentioned some pretty depressing facts in there. A little depressing. But nothing. Absolutely nothing. We'll hold a candle to the shit I watched. This is the first movie in probably. Your documentary. Documentary.

I'm sorry. And over a decade that straight up had me bawling. Oh. Like no, no, no, like welding up like full on mantires watching this thing. It's called Dear Zachary. I don't know if you've heard anything else. So you guys really. Get in a real raw rundown.

Well, okay. I'll, I'll, I'm going to stop where I need to stop. But basically. Where you cry. Basically the premise of the movie is there is this guy. And he was, he's a filmmaker. His best friend since childhood. He's made all these films with him and whatnot.

Was a doctor. He's a surgeon. He gets killed by his girlfriend. Oh, it's this fucking thing. Right. He gets killed by what? His ex-girlfriend. Right.

So, so man is making movie because the guy who he was friends with. And like as an adult now gets murdered by an ex-girlfriend who basically after getting dumped, she flies down from like Newfoundland down to where the guy lives, shoots him in a parking lot, flies back up. Right. Okay. Various legal shenanigans. So, so yeah.

So they're basically like, let's piece together what's left of his life when they, you know, walk into his friends and make a little tribute to this guy. Right. Yeah. Okay. So the guy, the guy that's making the documentary is just doing it about his friend. Then the woman that shot him, they basically comes out and she's up in Newfoundland. They can't extradite her back to the States.

As I said, various legal shenanigans. Because of bullshit. Yeah. Right. The legal system happens. So she basically gets locked up for a day, walks out on bail and is walking free. Right. Then she comes out, has a press conference type thing or just announces, by the way,

I'm pregnant. And she's pregnant. Like why? Why is she having a press conference? Well, she just makes a public thing and says that, not a press conference, but she announces to everyone. To the public place. Publicly said to the world.

To the world. She's pregnant and it's that guy's baby, the guy she shot. Yeah. So now that guy's family is like, okay, we need to fucking get up there and sue for custody and whatever. They try to. It doesn't work. Because none of the previous legal shenanigans actually went through and there are no convictions

on the record. So fast forward to them basically having to be friends with this murderer after the baby is had, so that they can get an hour of custody per week and to maybe get more by being friendly. So the parents of the guy who shot have to befriend this fucking hilly, hilly woman. And she's a crazy, like, she's a nut in every way and she has the kid and like you just can't get her. You can't get the kid away from her because that's it, you know, so you just go through all.

You want to get the baby out of there. Exactly. And you just, and so you, the documentary then becomes, the baby called Zachary? Zachary. Okay. It's the name of the child. Right. And so, so the movie then becomes, hey child, that will never get to meet your dad.

Here's the letter to you. Here's what's the deal. And here's who your dad was. Right. And then it just, and it just follows that story and goes further and further. That sounds soul-crossing. That word doesn't even describe it. So.

Rending? Soul-rending? Again, just. A Sunder. A Sunder. So, yeah. And it just goes on and you just follow the story through, you know. And like, I think.

Does it have a conclusion? It does. It's just kind of like. It does, it does, you know. But I, this is where I stop and I say you watch it to see where that goes. It's unbelievable how fucked up the legal system can be. And how. Like, broken.

Is the work, right? Yeah. Like, it's not like, it's malicious. It's just busted. It's busted, but people involved are so, some people involved are malicious that creates a chain of events that make it, I mean like they're sticking to the text too hard. No, no, no, no, no. Like the, for example, the bail that she got out on was her psychiatrist that she was

seeing paid for her bail. So like, breaking rules, numbers, zero, and that's, that's crazy unethical. Exactly. Like, you don't involve yourself in your patients' lives. Exactly. Like shit like that. No, I'm a doctor unethical. Hey, are you?

Hey, guess what? The thing that says you're not allowed to have sex with your patients, that's a free pass to not have to pay their bail. Yeah. No. And, and, and just, and it's like, oh, you know, we, there's no reason to lock her up because the crime that she committed was specific in nature and she wanted to target one person that she was angry at, not the public at large, thus if she's in the public

at large, she's not a menace to society necessarily because she already committed her crime. Like she got away with murdering the person she wanted, therefore it's fine because she doesn't want to murder anyone else. So it's, let her go. Love, you're done. You're done. I, you know, so yeah, you guys really, really, really should check it out. So wow, that's, that's really depressing.

And that, and yeah. And you know what? Like again, that's fucking the step, like two or three. It ramps up to 11 and I promise you, you will cry. Yeah. Speaking of crying at up to 11, soul crushing depression. Hey Liam. Hey.

Why was Sword Art 8 trending on Twitter? I don't know. You told me it was and that's it. Wait, what? You told me the Sword Art episode 8 was trending on Twitter. I didn't. Yeah, you did. No, I didn't.

No, I didn't. Who else would tell you that? I was Trump. I watched Sword Art 8 last night. Yeah, but I did not tell you that guy. I did not tell you that guy. Yeah, whatever. Wait, was it?

What? Was it trending on Twitter? I don't know. I saw that one. Oh, the nose and no one cares. That didn't work out. I must have been holding this in my head. That's in my head.

Quick, save it. Epo's real good. There you go. There you go. Brian Hawk is real bad. Now, now if you recall, Brian Hawk is the man that I've talked about who says things about the women of Japan and it makes all the Japanese guys go nuts and hate him. You all want my seat so that in 20 years the whole country will have champions running

around. Yeah. Doesn't he lick somebody? He licks everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's constantly licking his gloves. What a dirtbag. Redo, redo, redo, redo, redo, redo, redo, redo.

A little bit. Did you get past that fight? Yeah, I finished the second season. So in the last one, they go back to Brad to talk to him about what his experience was fighting type of. Oh, really? Really? Okay.

I'm getting really, really sick of this like endless cock tease about this rival battle that you don't actually really care about. That I don't actually want to see. Yeah. Like the rival battle between Miata and Epo, like it's the first thing that's set up and they keep teasing it. It's like, I don't like Miata's fights. I think they're boring.

So the idea of like, oh, we're going to build up and the final thing in the series is going to be a fight between these two characters. I don't want to see that. When his fights against Sendoh were like, what? Is it like the legendary battle between Dante versus Mundus? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You're right. You're so right. Yeah. It's a little bit like, all right, all right. And like the whole thing I'm watching now is that he's frustrated because they kept trying to set up the fight and they couldn't set up the fight. Yeah, they failed. And I'm like, I'm frustrated, like just do it or just not.

I don't flip flop. You're not, you're not stringing me along with drama here over this fight. I don't care about. Right. Like for fuck's sake. That being said, Epo remains fucking great. I didn't, like, aside from Togathon and working with this guy most this week, I didn't really do all that much.

The only thing I really have to talk about is that I downloaded and started to play Diablo 3 for the consoles for PS4 last night. What it was designed for. I heard it was really good. So when I got hands on onto it, the first thing I noticed is yes, this was easily the obvious choice. It's weird. It took two years to go from PC to console when it was a console game all along.

It's better than the PC version in almost every single way. It plays better. It controls better. It's faster. And some of the changes are like because of the expansion and shit like that. But there are features in that console version that should be in every version, but are not. So in the PC version, there's no way to have your friend who's underleveled play with you. They'll just get destroyed.

And in the console version, the game will level them up to your level so they can catch up temporarily. Yeah. And just weird stuff like that. Why isn't this... There's a interface where every time you pick up an item, you get a little box in the bottom left of the screen that tells you if it's better than what you're currently wearing. And you hit one button and then you either equip it or junk it.

Where's that equivalent function in the PC version? That's amazing. It's like, oh console guys are idiots so they need this button, but PC guys love to manually click through tons of shit to do that same thing. Well, there's too much clicking. I understand that, but maybe that was the idea. Like the best thing about this is because you're direct control with the analog stick and your auto attack is X, you just point and hold and that's your primary attack.

There's no... And I know on PC, you click and hold on one enemy and they'll attack that one enemy. But with the direction, it's a lot easier. I get finger strain after playing Diablo for like 10 hours or something. Not with this shit. Interesting. It's calm and relaxed and nice and they put all these patches in. It's really good.

Liam, did you have a slag, I guess, pull from the dealer's room? I bought the Wolf Children on Blu-ray and that was it. Given that I was in Japan like recently enough, there wasn't really anything... Exactly. Exactly. I bought the Wolf Children on Blu-ray. Amazing movie that I absolutely love. Yeah, I got a handful of t-shirts from Sanshi.

Okay, we gotta talk about the t-shirt... A handful? Well, I can hold a couple. We gotta talk about like an etiquette thing, the t-shirts. Well, I did not see the t-shirts that Wally saw. He checked out the Sanshi place when he walked in and I did not see it. So when he said, I gotta go get some t-shirts and when we went back, he said, oh, I gotta get these t-shirts and I'm looking at it and I see a bunch of really nice t-shirts and then

he immediately announces which ones he is going to get. That's correct. He is going to get all the ones that I was just looking at. Exactly. Plus, you can't buy them. Plus, I can't buy them. And I said to him, fuck that, I want them and he looks at me and goes, what? You're just stealing my shit now?

Well, because the deal is, is that we've been in the t-shirt Cold War for years now. Yeah, of course. Right? And you joined late, Wally, because you finally broke and were like, fine. Fine. And you know what? When you broke, the ones you bought were all shit that we had anyway. I did not know you had some of those.

So it's like whatever at this point. It's fine, man. Just as long as we don't have that. I love that. I love that. It's a Cold War. It's like I'm threatening you with the shirts that you might think I am. So that's where it got weird, because you had the three that you wanted and then you're

like, oh, which ones would you get? Copier, man. I'm like, I'd get the ones. I'm just rustling. Plus, this one and that one, I have four and five and he says, oh, that fourth one's really good. I'm going to take it. Like, no, you're taking it away.

And I was really worried because we are both wearing right now, one of the shirts. Yeah. If I was wearing that Junaise shirt, you would have had to leave and go home and change. I announced early on that I wanted a Junaise shirt, mind you. Although, like I said, even when I thought you were talking like in 2014, the reason why I dismissed that originally is because I thought you were talking about the Junaise shirt that I see on Redbubble a lot. That sucks.

The ones that were there are like, no, way better. Sanchez is awesome. They're the guys that do the Skullgirls Pins and shit like that. All Skullgirls. Yeah. And with other Pat as well, like he was a part of this, the Skullgirls Pins. The worst one is when he got that Communist Party shirt that I had been thinking about for like over a year and never got, so I thought I'd look like a dirtbag and then I saw him

wearing him like shit. And we've talked about it like a bit after the fact because it had been years, like he was my roommate and it had been years of like just walking into the room like, hey, yo, what's up, man? You know, and he's just, he's wearing like the Heideken Hadoken shirt like, yeah. Oh man. How much? All right.

Just nothing, you know? And you're like, motherfucker. I know. What happened? What happened? What happened to your beautiful Joe shirt? That's the first shirt I've ever seen you wear. It doesn't fit anymore.

Oh. That's all. Speaking of shirts, I guess we can announce that like on Pax, we're going to Pax Prime. We'll be there Friday, Saturday, Sunday at the Machinima booth. You know, actually. Act around also, right? Act around. Walk around.

And we're not chained to the booth. No, we're not chained to the booth. We're there an hour a day. Right? So we'll mostly be around. We'll mostly be around. And we're going to announce that we're going to have our new shirts available to buy, but that didn't really work out.

Yeah, dude. There have been some technical difficulties. Technical difficulties. But we will be at the Montreal Comic Con September 12th to the 14th. That's correct. And we will have shirts after our panel that we will be having on the 14th. Are we going to get a t-shirt done? Oh god.

I'm lobbying for a t-shirt. Well, good. Good, good. Will we kill Maude when we do it? Yeah. We're selling them. We will attempt to get a t-shirt cannon. Expect us to fail that attempt.

But then how do we not just have t-shirt battles? We do. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Good. That's part of the proceedings. You know what?

With a t-shirt cannon, it's less like a battle, more like an assault. Yeah. Like whoever has the cannon is winning. It's blowing. It's winning. Yeah. Whenever I think of a t-shirt cannon, I think of China shooting that bazooka in her entrance. You tell us the reason?

Yeah. I don't know. It first doesn't get to retaliate. So it's really just... I doubt you guys also brought a cannon. It's done is too long. It's done is too long. I also, after besides t-shirts, I grabbed the Levi statue.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I've been eyeing that for a little bit. But it right next to your metastas. Exactly. And have a little attack on Titan corner. So I got that.

And I don't think I got anything. Oh yeah. Just some prints. Sure. Sure. I stopped buying. Not because I don't love prints. Are you out of wallspac?

Out of wallspac? Out of wallspac? Yeah. Not enough. I have a stack of them. Exactly. I know. And same problem.

But I couldn't resist. They were too nice. Oh. And a good old Foxhound. Not Foxhound. Fox... Foxbat. Logo.

Flask. Flask. Right. Okay. Oh yeah. Roll that boos. You're always carrying them on you. Yeah.

No. I just like fucking I want it. So. I'm not able to pre-order the light suit Samus statue that lights up from the inside. So. Yeah. As in... Light suit from Prime 2?

Yes. Two? Oh my god. So I have... I have already put down my pre-order. First four figures? Yes. Oh my god.

So you're too late. It's really nice. No. I'm not going to buy it because I already have Samus. Like I'm not going to buy two of the same character type things. Well you can make your type things. Yes. Because there's one that's better than the other.

Which one though? I know. No. I'm not going to say. Well I'm happy with my classic but the light suit is the best suit. Like that's undebatable. Um. Cool.

We're going to have the week. I did a thing this week. What did you do? I had my counterspy stream and played through all of counterspy. I caught the end of that. It was pretty nice. I caught the end of that stream. I did catch that.

There were some decent quotes. There were some decent quotes. That fucking ending where like I finished with a .5. On the money. Yeah. Like half a second left. Man that was clutch. I didn't expect that to happen.

Clutched it out. Clutched it out. Thanks to everyone for tuning in. But it was a pretty good game. That is the reviews would lead me to believe actually as Pat pointed out. Yeah but you're optimistic. But like eh it's fun. But it's not a 10.

It's not a 9. Procedural generation can go a lot worse. Exactly. Exactly. Like none of the rooms are amazing. What's that? But like you'll get a fun one after a lame one. Is that fucking working?

Play. So like you get a day light. Oh it's daylight. But it's good. Oh daylight. Yeah. Procedural generation go way worse with fucking daylight. I'm sure.

Fuck that piece of Chicago. Broke legacy though. Yeah. Yeah. And Sword Art game came out. And that's really fun. There's way too much content in that game. Yeah me and you were talking.

I can't even figure out that fucking game. Why not? It's too comp. It's so comp. I'll get it and they tell you nothing. Oh well. It's like. Well I'm like three floors in and it's like fucking huge that game.

What's up Matt? This might be interesting to you. But everyone keeps telling me about Sniper. The Sniper Elite. Sniper 3. Sniper Elite something. Yeah Sniper 3 Elite. So it's a testicle explosion.

Same in this game is really good and I look and it's made by Rebellion and I just saw Rebellion put out an interview with someone who says hey you really like cut your teeth on making those AVP games like the Jaguar one and the PC ones and then the 2010 one and like would you ever want to return to that and they're like yeah we absolutely would and we would like to put like back when we did the original one put like some generation in there procedural generation so that things are randomized and that when there used to be a health pack is now an alien. Yeah.

We think we could do that style a lot better than what we did last time which was the most handheld focus tested like game ever. That'd be cool. Still much better than Colonial Marines. I think there's a bonus scenario in all those sniper games you can shoot like Hitler's Nuts off. Yeah something like that. It's one of the DLC ones.

Yeah. Would it be like a mimic health pack? Like you pick it up. No the memes don't know. You turn the corner. You turn the corner and it says health. When you play it again or if you're your checkpoint and then you restart. Or like a health pack that poisons you instead.

That doesn't tell you the alien stuff. It's like dark souls. Yeah. I'm getting pretty. I'm getting pretty hyped up for alien isolation despite my initial like coldness on it. So like if Sega would like getting less hyped over it. I'm getting more hyped. Every time I see the previews they're like this is the most frustrating garbage ever.

Ever since I've been. I think it's a bit. Hyper. Awesome. You're right. That is hyperbolic. But then it's very frustrating. Just like amnesia.

I never died like twice in amnesia. Well regardless. Game looks pretty fun. I want to be scared. By an alien. By an alien. Because I don't think anyone can do that anymore. Cool.

Yeah. That's a lot of weak. That's a lot of weak. It's a lot of weak. I still feel hungover honestly. Yeah. No I know what you mean. I know what you mean.

You should have drank some water. I drank water. I had that giant glass. I drank water out of it. I drank tons of water. I didn't have an egg. I drank water out of it shit tons of times. Egg McMuffin scientifically proved it.

No you drank too much though. To be the hangover. I drank too much more. Yeah. I'll get a horrible like body destroying breakfast tomorrow. It's great. It'll be a good time. So when last we followed this story breaking breaking breaking news.

Well not for the people listening to this now. No. But it's now it's tomorrow. Breaking in the past. Like breaking news is we know the news and we know it's going to go live tomorrow. Breaking in the past breaking in the past to bore you in the future. Yeah. It's true.

A little while ago we talked about the little courting dance that was being done between Google and Twitch. Yeah. And it seems like. Amazon just swooped in. Yeah. The honeymoon would never have a chance. And stole that booty.

Right. Google fails to bed twitch. Amazon picks up the pieces and rebounds for nine hundred and seventy million dollars. That's one million dollars. At nine hundred and seventy million dollars. That's one million dollars. I said a million. No.

I just heard a million. That's one billion dollars. That's nine hundred and seventy million. We don't round up thirty million dollars. We don't. That's not. That's a lot to round up. Billion bucks.

Maybe Canadian Amazon bucks. This is very interesting to me. Yeah. Because Google buying twitch was the most obvious simple kind of downer thing in the world. Yeah. I guess. Amazon buying twitch feels like this weird like excitement. That's not so bad.

I like Amazon. This could be this could this could go to shit or it could be pretty cool or it could just be nothing. It could just be the same thing. I'm like it's I expect I expect the only difference to be when you click on what game they're playing. It'll lead you to an Amazon like also like which is accurate Amazon and lucrative for them.

Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. As opposed to the ads they currently have like Amazon's super targeted. Yeah. I keep forgetting to pre-order Hyrule Warriors on Amazon to see it because it's got the cost

you want. Yeah. But yeah. No. They are clearly, clearly demonstrating they want to get in on making in every possible thing. So you want the giant moves right. So you buy buying up devs putting out hardware and now buying up services as well.

I mean like you look at them in there and it's like they have won at internet sales. They're number one champ. They're the retailer. Like what next? They're got to point their finger. They're wrestling and they're pointing to the next guy. They've already got Digi books. They've already got Digi music.

They've already got all of the distribution. In terms of distribution. I guess games is next right. In terms of distribution for games and products like you have Steam which just owns the PC market. Walmart which owns almost every retail market. And Amazon which owns the entire online market for physical items in both. Yeah.

Yeah. No. That's fucking, that's a bigger man. That's a bigger. Somebody compete with Amazon please. I wonder why or how like the deal fell through quote unquote you know like was it. They didn't put a ring on it. Yeah.

I mean was it. Because it's that much money. When it's that much money I can only imagine it's a conflict of interest somewhere. Because why would you like it's almost a billion dollars. Yeah. And we saw it. It's you know why. Maybe who this was.

Because we saw and we saw them making the moves that we estimated were to prime themselves for being purchased and like having the the the content ideas. Yeah. Exactly. There must have been some thing that happened that just made it fall through. No I'm not going to do that. When you have a big show. Amazon doesn't want me to do that.

I'll go Amazon. A company like Amazon has a big chunk of everything now. It'd be great if it's like what could you possibly do next. I want them to make a dumb move that makes no sense but is still cool and you would love it. Like. Buy Zynga. Amazon opens up 5000 arcades across North America.

These are now back. Like that like to go backwards is the only thing to go forward that would be sick. I still think Amazon buying and creating drones is the dumbest and coolest thing ever. Amazon no. Here's here's. I'm a balcony. Bring me my things through drones. Now.

Amazon buying and releasing drones that drop off primal rage too. Yeah. Amazon buys fleshlight ink. Sure. They get money. And attach the fleshlights to the drones that come to your house. No. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Like periods of half an hour. Like. My drone is so kawaii. Yeah. Yeah.

My drone wife. Please put this color wig on the drone. How could my drone possibly be this cute. Either way they've got fuck you money and they've got like we can throw this around. See if we sink it and if it doesn't go in. Whatever. Just charge five bucks extra on prime for a year. Yeah.

Toilet capital. Prime's so good. They got a toilet capital. They got a toilet capital. Got an email recently. Hey do you want to re-up your prime? Yeah I do. Yeah.

I know. I was built the other day. I was at Indigo looking at a book and I was like I'm not paying 16 bucks for this book. I scan it on the Amazon app and it's like oh 9.50 yeah I'll pay you. Thanks for destroying small businesses like Indigo. I know. I'm bitter at that Indigo because they shut down the chapters.

Yeah. They used to shop at that chapter all the time. That's not true. They used to buy the same company. Yes. I know. I'm bitter at Indigo for shutting down the chapters. He prefers the chapters.

He prefers the chapters. Yes. Exactly. That makes sense. I just remembered something. I just remembered something. Because I've been going to that chapter ever since I was a little kid. I know but it's like the Starbucks across from the Starbucks that shut down Starbucks.

The Starbucks. Oh I know. No but like for me it was like I lived in the country and my stepdad works right around the corner so it was a special thing when I got to go to chapters. You know who I hate for buying a thing? Burger King. Yeah. They were trying to buy Tim Hortons.

They didn't try. They did. They bought Tim Hortons. Yeah. That's a big headline for people but didn't Wendy's already own them? Wendy's already owned them. No. That stopped years ago.

Oh. That was Tim's that owned Wendy's. How does it stop? Because I thought this was such a gone headline because I thought a lot of people were just not aware of it. No. Tim's was Canadian again. Really?

Now it's bought by Burger King so that Burger King can be Canadian. Well. To avoid taxes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the trick. They bought Tim Hortons to avoid paying Burger King taxes. The finger thing. When they moved their headquarters.

Yeah. The finger thing means the taxes stopped. It's the weirdest thing ever. Well, let's see what happens. I hope Tim Hortons never gets hamburgers. I hope Tim Hortons. I hope Tim Hortons. I don't like Burger King either in general.

I like Donald Trump. He was a tall guy. Me either. I hope Tim Hortons returns to freshly baking their products. Yeah, me too. Well they have the black coffee now. I like Harvey's. The black, the dark roast.

I like coffee. Well, I want them to bake their goddamn food instead of freezing it and then baking it. But there's no Harvey's arrival. This break brought to you by Tim Hortons. I wish. Come on down and try the new dark roast blend. All I wish. Go to tims.com slash superbest.

To download your free coffee. To get a 10% discount on the new Tim's dark roast coffee. The only one coffee platform available exclusively at Tim Hortons. You know what sucks? Every other food other than Tim Hortons? That's true. You should go to Tim Hortons. Speaking of shutting down businesses, or at least damaging them, how about-

They'll never recover from this damage. The pressure, right? The pressure at sucker punch is rough. Wait, really? Yeah. I thought infamous did relatively well. Well, no. That's just weird.

It's just weird. Product shipped. We don't need 120 people. 40% of the fish has been cut off. 40% is a large piece of that fish. This happens at every company. Except Nintendo. Except Nintendo.

They shouldn't do that. This happened at- But the idea- I worked that one apart and checked that it was normal. This is normal. This sucks garbage. A, like in the PS2, Xbox, Gamecube era, I never remembered hearing about these stories that much. The scales are made by 12 people.

And the industry- What's the term I want to- The update of news was not sufficient. Yeah. But to a lot of people that don't follow as much, they go, but I thought the game did well. Yeah, but they let them go because they don't need them anymore. But if the game did well, they should have money to keep those people around.

Yeah, but that's not the point. No, it's not the moral of game. But it's just so odd that after all the exodus from Naughty Dog, and then it's like another- For whatever reason, it's another Sony studio. If they just finished shipping, I guess the Fetch theme, not DLC, but the Fetch standalone game. I think maybe companies should have rotating projects so that this doesn't happen.

Yeah. It's hard to line them up though. Yeah, it's hard. It's a fire 40% of your workforce too. It's really hard. And then ask them to come back next year when you need crime workers. No, but I mean, you know, it's garbage. I hate it.

It doesn't have to be a thing, but if you don't have a program on payroll, that's $60,000 a year. Yeah, people in the games business probably need to get a union. I mean, for what it's worth- That's a different argument. For what it's worth, a lot of these people are going to have no problem bouncing back. I know. But it's really shitty when seasonal-

Nobody likes losing their jobs. Because- Except like, people with bad jobs that are obvious problems to society. Like, like grave diggers. We always- If there's like, we don't need any more graves. Like, oh, good. We're all still in forever.

You have like the whole concept in stage, which does not require a large percentage of that force. Like, you don't need a programmer to- Yeah, you need like a handful of concept artists and designers. And then after that, you ramp up. It is still like, you might not get a percentage of those people back, because they may have found work somewhere else that they enjoy more, or they're on there for even longer time to pay when the project is.

That being said, these companies usually pay really well, so they don't have a hard time finding people when they do. Just go work for Riot. Just go work for Nintendo. All of you American guys, just fuck it. Just go to Nintendo. Just go work for Riot. They never fire anybody.

They got like 1500 points, because League is going to be around forever. That's true too. It's going to be a fun bubble. Or you can- Not for those 1500 people. No, it's not. Or you can go work for Ubi.

Get all Ubi soft. Yeah. Did you catch that little tweet that went out? It's really minor. Really minor. Not much of a story, but- What are the dumbest things? It was just kind of like-

It was all a Nintendo tweet. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, huh. Be careful. Yeah, it was a very politely worded tweet that went out- But be careful. It blew me off really hard.

I actually agreed to tweet though. It's exactly. What the fuck is it? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Let me get there. Okay, so let me introduce the story. I'm sorry.

I was getting frustrated. Just fucking relax, buddy. Okay. I'm grumpy. It's a day. No, it was just- A tweet came out and it was also worded in a way that was like Ubi soft as a person. It was like, not sure-

Operations are people in the States, anyway. Yeah. That's another discussion. Let's not get into this. Not sure I like the at Mercedes-Benz cars in hashtag Mario Kart 8. Kind of breaks the magic. Be careful, hashtag Nintendo. Be careful.

Watch yourself. Be careful where you're going to beat now. That being said, this was not meant to be a Ubi soft tweet. We should just get that out there. Is that the story? Yes. Somebody retracted some- Somebody forgot to log out.

Somebody didn't log out of there yourself. It can't be. And did precisely the most mild thing you could ever do. Thank goodness. They didn't post a naked picture of David Hasselhoff. I don't know if that's confirmed. Yes. Because he took it down and Ubi soft official Twitter.

That one said that was not an opinion expressed by Ubi soft. That being said, it's a correct opinion. No, I'm just getting it out there so nobody thinks it's accurate. The fact that Ubi soft, the company that should not be yelling about other people's deals. Well, they didn't. It was one guy who yelled it. A guy that works for that.

So there was, yes, the follow-up is that they removed it and then said, sorry about that. The opinions expressed don't represent the company as a whole. I just put it ironic. But I didn't catch the bit about the person who was that. That's why it's been deleted. Fuck all that. So who was it? I don't know.

You know it's way more important than that. The guy didn't retweet it from his own Twitter. That person's completely right. Having a weird real car in your Mario Kart is bizarre. Don't download it. But I want the new track DLC that's going to come. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, I know.

You don't think that's bizarre? I think it was forced into the game, yes. But if it's an optional piece of DLC. Is it optional? Yes. I don't know. I don't know if it's an update or if it's DLC. Okay.

That's the thing. If it's an update, then it will be somewhat mandatory if you want the new track. Then that sucks. I don't know if it's an update. It's like that moment when War of Warcraft was selling you fucking Harley Davidson mounts. Yeah. But the fuck is that? Are there other, just out of curiosity, would you know if there are other Ubisoft tweets

that are, that refer to itself as like eyes of the guy behind the Twitter? Because the thing is, I'm not sure if it was literally a mistake or if it was. That's why it's an optional thing that shouldn't have done that. Security's really tight here in Ubisoft. It was removed because they said don't do that. Ubisoft's opinion. It definitely was removed because they said don't do that. But I'm just, I'm not sure about the part of, he meant to go on his personal business.

That's all I read around. Ubisoft Twitter is for Ubisoft News, not their opinions about other stuff. That guy, whoever wrote it, can write that all he wants. I don't know. I like the idea of like Coca-Cola, just like going on Twitter and just talking shit about Pepsi. Yeah, no, it sits there. You know what sucks Pepsi?

Or if the food network tells you to just eat Oreo cookies off your throat, off your floor, like an idiot. Yeah, exactly. You know, that would actually be genius because it would get people to like actually start a war and then probably buy more of said product. But it would be madness at the same time. You don't know which way it would go. Or you could just put the label makers that put your name on the label.

I forget what page it was, but I remember it was Taco Bell. There's a screen grab going around of like the guy going on Taco Bell and saying, I think I'm going to kill myself, Taco Bell. And then Taco Bell responds like, nah, don't do it, Jason. Yeah, so much to live for. Yeah, so much to live for. And he's like, thanks a lot, Taco Bell. You've always been there for me.

They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because if you actually had companies doing that, you don't know where it could go. You could just wind up into a gigantic race war. Oh no. There's been a couple of stories like that. The butterfly effect. Edmonton, the Edmonton mayor getting a Taco Bell sandwich that was not there into Edmonton through tweeting them and all kinds of shit, whatever.

Nice, nice. Yeah, I don't know. I agree with the tweet though. I don't want Nintendo. I don't want no Red Bull and my Smash Bros. It's not normal. It's not expected. I don't like real world items in games, period.

Unless it's a gun or a car in a game that is nothing like Gran Turismo or Forza. You're not wrong, but I love what Calorie Mate has become. Yeah. I was going to say. Okay, I don't think it's a free pass when it's either aggressively stupid or I don't know what the product is. I just realized how stupid of an asshole I am because I ranted and raved about how much I love how Boss Coffee is all over the Acusa series.

I was going to say when it's included as a part of realism or world building. Yeah, but that's what that counts on. And not a part of like, look at these crusades in this fantasy complex. They don't even look good. You remember FF7 had all those Pepsi ads all the time around when it was coming out? Like if Cloud had pulled out a Pepsi, it's like, oh man, Eris is dead. How long are we going to go on? I really need a Pepsi.

It's delicious ice-cold Pepsi. Or an orange crunch. See, this is what's fine. Putting tons of Mario Kart toys in Happy Meals is awesome. Everyone loves that. Yeah. But doing the reverse. Putting McDonald's into Mario Kart.

Yeah, then putting McDonald's into Mario Kart. Because all McDonald's secretly hate McDonald's. Well, what I was going to say, no. And if everyone's there for the game, anything else is like, yeah, awesome. I get toy. I want a toy. That being said, Sneak King confirms for Smash, I'd be down. I'd be down.

You know what? You reversed everything about the size of your ratio. So what you're saying is that we're all hypocrites and it depends on things that we like. It depends on a dumb thing. If it's super dumb, it's fine. I would have actively disappointed that Doritos were taken out of Peace Walker. Yeah. No, what I am saying is make up some bullshit about Smash and it's probably true.

Guess what? Guess what? It's all true. Everything is true. So give a good basic roundup of all the new stuff so people know what we're talking about. So all the leaks going on, one shulk confirmed in video. That's some xenobiliaconicals. Baby Bowser confirmed in video.

Super confirmed. Ganondorf confirmed in video. Yeah. Don't like Baby Bowser, but Ganondorf's awesome. Duck Hunt's still not proven. No, Duck Hunt's proven. Duck Hunt's within the same leaks, though. It's not on video.

Not on video, but it's within the same. It was in the leak category. There's just no video. But the leaked videos did not show. But it's not in the same box. Let's say it's at 99 percent. Oh, it's high up there. Because that is one of those awesome only North Americans get it characters.

At the same time. No one in Japan understands what the hell that is. At the same time. They're just like little men. I don't know, guys. Photoshop's pretty sophisticated these days. Wow. Yeah, these 30, 45 second long like videos with Blair and White being posed up.

Just like how all the best friends talking about killer instinct. I don't know. You mean the game where we talk about it like every other fighting game conversation. Something strikes me the wrong way. Fishy about that one. So was that it? Was there any other modes? No, that was just news about modes and stuff.

There's the official shit. Gerheim is a trophy confirmed. Nice. The only other thing that was in there was all star mode was not unlocked in the leakers. Yes, the trophy of the game and thus he didn't have all the characters unlocked. It was the footage. The ESRB from Nintendo with an ESRB. Yes, it was ESRB submitted gameplay footage.

So that was probably some review video for their rating. So there's a screener and they also again a part of the announcement news was they're bringing back the Kid Icarus difficulty selection where you slide it up or down on the scale from one to nine. Which was there in Smash before Kid Icarus? Is it brawl or what? Yeah, I totally did. So what you're saying is that it's reconfirmed that that's in there.

Okay, so then yeah, I guess so. But it's a great difficulty slider system. Did I see the words dark pit? That's P2 to you. You didn't play the game did you? I didn't beat it. Hey Liam, look at this. I didn't play it.

Pat is flailing his wrists around. Without the incredible pain. And Duck Hunt were the three that were not in footage. I just wanted to say that the difficulty slider, the main deal with it was the higher on the slider you go, the more the rewards are and you see how much gold you gain directly compared to the So all this is all fun and good. It's like yeah, cool. When they reveal that reveal, it's not funny.

I disagree. Street Fighter IV's characters all came out that way ahead of me. Even when those character trailers still came out. It was fun to see it. I knew Sakura was coming. But that didn't stop the music in that trailer from me fucking amazing. Exactly. Well for me, you go back to the ultimate Marvel reveal of all 12 leaked on day one.

They have the screenshots right there because someone didn't lock up the website. You're a beautiful PNG. Yeah, whereas the Street Fighter characters were just a list of them. It was just a list. Yeah. It's a little different. But it was still one of those things when the trailer comes out and you're hearing the fucking Virgil music and you're watching and you're like yeah.

But again, also all Star's mode unlocked which means he didn't lock up all the characters. That's true. So there still could be more secrets. At least that's how it's been for two Smash Brothers games. So far. So you know if history repeats itself. Still waiting for a gen Kazama. Yeah.

You know what else would you be waiting for? What is it? Well, you knew Yakuza game announced. Yep. Yakuza Zero. Why do you do this? Yeah. I am Zero because...

I don't think that it's Zero means it's a prequel. It's going to be a prequel but it also means it has Zero chance of coming tonight. That joke. You didn't write that down. It's definitely going to be about Cure You before he went to jail and the act is a one. There's nothing else to say. I still don't think it's going to get localized but if there's ever one to localize it'll be this one. I guess that makes sense.

I am starting to consider the goddamn path to just learning the language just to stop my torment. I'll tell you this much. The people I know that do know Japanese well, at least two of them learned it due to dumb fiction reasons. I want to watch my anime and or play my game. Right. So this is why I learned it. They're not crazy. Go download the demo for Yakuza Ishin and just poke around.

No. No. I have to do it in order. That would be in order. Ishin is not like... Ishin goes anywhere. I have no... It has to go in order.

Speaking of a thing that... I take order of release like weirdly seriously. Speaking of a thing that unfortunately has no localization that I posted the gorgeous box art of the next fatal frame. Yeah. Super good box art. I really love it. And like we're like a month away from it coming out. There's no localization.

I am really confident it's going to get localized because Nintendo can't afford to not. No, no. They mean games. Of course. But at what point would they actually say like a TGS maybe? Dude, I don't know. That's a game to the west of TGS is a weird thing. Holy shit.

TGS is so soon. But I'd expect it to be at least in a direct. Yes. No. It's going to be a TGS. No. I'm going to have a direct around TGS last year and then direct in October. I want an exhibition.

But probably. I never really got it. But you should have a direct around October sometime. It seems like it's always at the end of the day. What are you, idiots, laughing about? Hopefully not the way I'm at it. Good. Oh.

Yep. Woof. Yep. Woof. Moving along. Fast. Moving along fast. We've got RE Revelations 2.

Can we beat box art? I can wait. Did you play Revelations? Yeah. It's so good. It's pretty alright. It's pretty good compared to 6. But I didn't finish it and that says everything.

I think it's better than 5 as well. I think it's quite good. I don't know about that. I got to the part halfway through the game where you're fighting the invisible hunters and I was like, no thanks. They're committing to the spin off before they go to the next big number. Hopefully. We have nothing new.

So here's some kind of like repurposed assets and character. Well, the new art was like a new environment entirely. It was a prison. It was totally new. RE is not annualized yet, right? It's almost close. It's almost. It might be.

If you count spin offs, it might be. I don't think it's ever been annualized, but there have been games that was multiple where as naval games came out in the same year. Yeah. So you could almost do the math on the first. I distinctly remember like there being a year where like three of them came out. Regardless, like as sequel to Revelations, I'm super down for it. I love that game.

I'm definitely open to it. Sure. I'm open, but. Especially considering since I think it's probably not on handhelds, either of them. I was a bit bummed to see it wasn't on 3DS. But it's not on anything except for 360 apparently right now, right? It was there. No, no.

Well, I mean, I wouldn't imagine it's exclusive. No, what I mean is that like it could be. Because it was leaked from the Xbox website. Yeah. God bless that website. It's like so much. No, you know what? You're right.

It could be because the initial leak was from that retailer. Yeah. But like. I don't. They could have just not had the film. I personally just don't see them. Yeah. Let's wait for TGS.

Speaking of handhelds and things that you're down for. Finally, we're getting around to that Muramasa DLC4. Fuck, it looks good. You see that trailer? How long did that take? It's been a while. Well, Muramasa. That being said, the other three are out.

No, what I mean is that for all of this DLC to come out, it's been a long run. Yeah, definitely. This, I really like. Wait, do you mean a Bora Muramasa? A Bora Muramasa. Yeah, so the fourth one is the little. The little honey girl. Yeah, little lowly demon girl.

And like she transforms into like Beast Amazon mode or like just adult club spike bat mode and shit. And it looks like a fun little story. It's really charming like the rest of them. Yeah, I know. I like the trailer that they showed off for that. It looks like some fun stuff. I would definitely like to play all of that together given the opportunity if one of you

two could help me. Help you what? Pat, you probably can. What? Because I already have the Vita that you loaned me. I have the game. But the DLC is only for the Vita. I have the game.

No, Matt's got it all. Oh, sweet. Oh, right. Okay, perfect. Yeah, nice. Still shrink wrapped, but I have it. Okay. Here's how I'm going to help you.

Wait, you didn't play it? Put the game into your Vita. You know you can jump the axe now. Show it. Thank you. I bought it and I never want to. You're welcome. Yeah.

No, it's really good. I'm going to put the DLCs as I said. I hope this one is just as good. I love the Farmer one. Oh right. I would say super charming. Capcom doing some work. Well, it seems like Ono kind of pushed this and then got it going.

There's a campaign to bring back some classic fighting game caps to Japan. Classic fighting game caps? Cabinets? Yeah. They have these four new updated cabinets of Hyper Fighting, Third Strike, Dark Stalkers 3, and Alpha 3. You should get a new Third Strike cabinet. Yeah, right.

But they're really cool. And they're updated with rankings and you can have your name stored in it. There's the move list for your characters when you pick them right away on the side. It's a 16 by 9 screen, but 4 by 3 for gameplay. Exactly. And they have the character move list on the side. Again, like actual changes to code to make it more feasible for the arcades. That's really cool.

And it's interesting. And the first thing a lot of people wondered was why Hyper Fighting and not Super Turbo? Sure. And it turns out the reason why is because there's still Hyper Fighting tournaments in Japanese arcades. Right. So they're just actually the right one. So they just said, fuck it. People are playing it.

Here we go. Just do it. What a cool announcement. Yeah, I love that. I would love for them to box those up if they could. That would be really nice. And remember the good old days when they announced Hyper Fighting available on Xbox Live and everyone lost their shit?

Like, hey, we got to play Street Fighter and it was like, oh, shitty ass. And then it came out and you're like, what is this bullshit? The hard punch sound is wrong. Yeah. How the fuck do you fuck up that? It was so early in DLC games. When you say though, like, oh, get a new Third Strike cabinet. It's like, this is one of those Japanese candy cabs.

Yeah, get it. So it's sit down. Oh, get it. Well, I can get it, but then I have to throw out my bed. That's good. I don't care. So just sleep on the machine? Sleep on the machine?

Okay. Sleep on the joystick. How bad could it be? You're on a bad night. I'll try it. I'm about to poke you. It's worth a shot. Really?

We got something interesting coming from Team Meat. Their next game. Yeah. What is this? I don't know. It is. Yeah, right? That's Liz's.

We're holding it together? I'm losing it. Okay. He said some stupid Simpsons jokes. That's basically every time that goes, it's just so stupid and he just laughs. Anyway. Try sleeping on the candy cab.

Yeah. That was the joke. You on a bad night? Yeah. Yeah. You didn't even finish the quilt pack. My brain finished it for me. I know.

Mine too. Yeah. It's called a voyeur for September and the trailer for it is basically filtered live action footage of some woman's house. Someone sneaking around it. Someone sneaking around and peeping into a house and then a woman walking with a bathroom. That's creepy. Yeah.

Just a teaser. Night Trap 3 confirmed. Well, that's odd considering there's a Night Trap Kickstarter going on right now. That looks really suspicious. Everything about that Kickstarter seems shady. Yeah. It's a bit sketchy. A little sketchy.

Sketchier than Night Trap even. Yeah. Wow. Are you talking about? That means you're the right man for the job. Yeah. That's true. Not too long ago, I saw like those, the guys behind that Kickstarter said, we are like,

some of us are from the original developers of Night Trap and they go, fuck Nintendo for ruining our company. And I was like, are you sure that it was Nintendo or are you sure it's because you made shitty FMV games that people beat Nintendo? Yeah, they were originally VCR games. And they go, no, because during those, like, you know, like, Mortal Kombat and ESRB stuff, Nintendo like used us as like a bad example of like, shady games with like, bad intentions because it was strange guys are kidnapping women in Night Trap.

Guess what? Nintendo was right. And then there you go. Your games were shady and terrible. We still have bad blood with Nintendo. So if you want this game to be on the Wii U, good luck, good job with your shitty console Nintendo, whatever. Then a week later, they said we have added a Wii U stretch board.

It was really weird. These motherfuckers made Sewer Shark. I think Sewer Shark might be the worst game on the set. So they're bitter, but they're realistic. But that's why it's shady, like, wait, what? No, it's shady because they don't seem to know what they're doing. Yeah, they also don't seem to know what they're doing. We're going to code it and port it.

We're just going to do it angrily with one finger pokes. Like, here's one of the things that it seems shady about this Kickstarter. It was on the John Baum cast last week. They talked about it where it's like, we're going to put it on the 360. And it'll all be on a disk and we'll mail it to you in a sleeve. It's like, yeah, Microsoft just allows that now. You don't just publish things. We'll mail it to you in a baggie.

Which is why I have a sneaking suspicion. It might just be a DVD. Because it's like, let's just burn it in Ted's back room over here. Yeah. Get a little marker. There's a couple of Kickstarter games where you guys grossly overestimated the appeal of blank. So we grossly overestimated the appeal of Night Trap. Yeah, that's the weirdest thing.

Because they seem to be coming at it from the place that people like Night Trap. Well, because they read a bunch of posts where people go, you guys remember Night Trap? Yeah, five posts out of the internet. And then they took that for people want it back. Boogerman is another one. Because there was a really hard-failed Boogerman Kickstarter a few months ago. And that's another one? That's different.

That's just, I feel like not enough people even know that exists. But also, people would actually love Mutant League. I know. I knew for the stratosphere. It was like a million bucks or something. And you're like, are you crazy? I'm not even willing to give you money for Mutant League football. And I love it because it's not Mutant League hockey, which is a better game.

And one of the stretch goals was bring back the XFL. And go on about that. Also, the earliest console stretch goal was Xbox at the word where Xbox was poison. At the time where Xbox was poison. Speaking of, you talked about Team Eats game. The behemoth's new game, you know, Castle Crashers and Battle Block. They put out their trailer, which again, they knew what was up. Stamper is back in it, doing their voiceovers.

Damn it. All over my blood cheeks. Yeah, I can't wait for that. What's it called? No title yet. It's just called Behemoth Game 4. All right. All right.

Well, there's a bunch of new game announcements. There's the Mighty Gun Vault game that's coming. Yeah. It was so confusing for a little while. Retro style crossover between Gun Vault, Mighty Number 9 and... Galgun. Galgun. Yeah.

Because we saw that one coming. Galgun. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's going to be free. That's going to be free if you buy the game within, what, a certain amount of months? The first three or something. Yeah.

But it's like, like... They want to put DLC in it after. KG getting the jump on that, on Batman. The Galgun Round Swap. So I read an interview into Ask KG. Yeah. Oh, did he? No, did they?

Yes, yes. Exactly. The producer at NTS KG. Because of course, they're making Mighty Number 9. Yes. So, you know. It reminds me a lot of Dark Void and Dark Void Zero. It does.

Absolutely. I got a bit more excited earlier this morning when I read, like, this will be your first face of playing Beck. And I was like, oh, that's true. Yeah. Yeah. I kind of want that. I suppose it will.

I suppose it will. But I just, it's just, it's always the, you know, you look at that and you go, that's cool. Third wheel. I'm sorry, but... Sure. No, no. Like, you know...

Yeah, Mighty Number 9 is the third wheel on this one. Like, what are you doing there, Beck? No one wants you. Well, like, but, I mean, let's be real. The Angel will be fun to play as. Like, it'll play differently, you know. Like, you don't, it's not like it's going to be Galgun, you know. And, you know, like, if they do own the character, then, you know, sure, sure.

It's nice that Galgun was allowed to take back on this ride, the Galgun groundswell. But I mean, like, Inty's clearly trying to build themselves up. So, you know, like, I start somewhere. And it's a cool place to start. I think that's really fun. Like, crossover platformers are great. Yeah. Crossovers are great.

Yeah, they announced that there was also the new game Titan Souls coming out from Acid Nerve. Yeah. And this trailer looks pretty funny. I watched it cynically. And liked it. This was briefly, briefly shown at E3 on stage. I was going to say it looks familiar.

Yeah, it looks great. Seems to be, like, reminiscent of, like, some things we've seen, like, a little bit of Below in there, almost a little bit of... Hyper Light. Bastion. Hyper Light. And some ways when the... Yeah, I got a Bastion too.

The way some of the boss things were going. Some of it looks to me like a non-Neon Hyper Light. Yeah, I could say... A little bit. I kind of know what you mean. So it's only bosses, by the way. And you die in one hit, and you have one arrow. And you have to pick up your arrow after you fire it.

Oh. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. All right. That's cool. That's really cool. That's why I sent it to you. That's a bullshit.

I like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So check that out. I have a link to the trailer there. And was there anything else? I got some TV. There was the footage that popped up as well yesterday for the new modes. And I guess a bit more info about Korra.

Yeah. Pro bending. The little IGN video. I'm glad they showed that off now. Yeah, they released it too. Which is fucking soon. The pro bending mode is basically like 3 on 3 in the arena. And as you get more knockouts, you advance across the field.

The field. The one who has seen the show knows the exact area to fight it. The pressure. What I really liked about it that I was kind of curious about, because I thought it was not going to be that great, to be honest, is the fixed camera angle that they have for it. Because I assumed they would use a similar angle to the main game, but no, they just locked the camera somewhere above the field.

Yeah, they zoomed it out. Looks like a sports game. Yeah, exactly, exactly. I guess that's what you got to do for it to make any sort of sense of how you're supposed to play it. Yeah. And it looks really fun, actually. I always wished that like Monday Night Combat would have a camera that would pull out to

do that sports cam. Yeah, but no. All ass. Yeah. So that's, what, October 21st? Yeah. Is that what they think? Yeah, exactly.

So yeah. And was there anything, as far as like just gameplay stuff that they showed in it, like there was nothing new? There was a lot more like looks, as Marry, in case you didn't see that. Yeah. And like some really cool animations, but nothing new, I don't think. And that Pokemon announcement we were waiting for last week never happened. Because it turns out it's this week.

Yeah, exactly. It's specifically going to be today. Today. It's Japan time. It's a Jaman time. Yeah. It's going to be the fucking Pikachu. It's Detective Pikachu.

Yeah. There's no way it's not going to. Pikachu Noir, I believe, is called. I'm not sure how it related this to this, but I have some tangential TV news where HBO recently put out a little teaser saying, by the way, we're going to re-air the wire in HD and widescreen. Yeah. Oh.

And there are no details about this whatsoever, because, and there's a huge argument going on because like Simon, David Simon, the guy who made the wire, clearly when he was offered to do HD by HBO back when the wire was still in the air, did not understand what the fuck that actually even meant. It still doesn't. He does not understand that you can do HD and still have it in 4x3. He wanted to keep it in 4x3 because the earlier seasons were in 4x3. That's how it was shot.

Yeah. And so the question is, is that when you look at Amazon's version of the wire, there is a lot more to the sides in their widescreen. People thought they were just stretching it or zooming in. No. The first three seasons at least do have widescreen because they filmed on 16x9. And if it's filmed, then yeah, that can be restored, but nobody knows what those last two seasons are.

Right, right, right. And HBO won't say a fucking thing, but it's a good excuse to anyone to watch the wire or re-watch the wire. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, absolutely. In your Game of Thrones downtime, pick that shit up. Also, Breaking Bad Season 6 is not real. Stop fucking sharing that bullshit.

It's all better called so on us to spin off. Exactly. I'm not. Don't. Don't have a spin-off show. Don't. Spin-off shows never work. Oh, wait.

Sorry. I think it's in the middle of the season. What about Joey? Better called so on us. Better called so on us. I'm down with that. I'm down with better folks off. No, bitch.

Yo. You could be down with it initially, but more often than not. It's not going to be serious. It's not going to be easy. Spin-off shows never work. Clearly, someone hasn't seen Frasier. Or fucking Morkin' Mindy. Or Joey.

Yeah, that's the one. Congratulations. I already said Joey. Did you say Joey? Yeah, I said Joey. I'm the one who always says Joey. It's so fucking terrible. It's so bad.

Matt LeBlanc just like, he's old and he's tired. Speaking of HBO, Martin Scorsese announced that he'll be writing and producing a Shutter Island TV show for HBO. You draw that right when I walked in the day. And you went, ooh, and you just dropped. That's so good. That's such a good idea. Because if you've seen Shutter Island, you know that's perfect because you just don't

even have to pick and use the same character. No, you have a new character. It'll be fun. You'd have a new character every week. As long as you're fucking with like psych tropes, it'll be interesting. And he was a part in Boardwalk Empire, so expect great things. You really need to pick that back up. Me too.

Me too. Where'd you drop off? Like halfway through the first season. First season? Okay. There's a time jump now and some bullshit. What? I don't know.

That's weird. Fucking, um, um, Omar's in it, man. Yeah. Omar's in a lot. Do it. He's a good guy. He knows how to act good. His face is actually jacked up.

I'm not sure what's up with that. Yeah. Because it's real. Because like all the wire actors, well most of the wire actors, that shit's legit, man. Still on the little movie trend, because I doubt you have it there. Guardians of the Galaxy climbs back to number one. Yeah. Which happens once, maybe every two years, where someone comes back.

It's because that's rewatches. Yeah. I'm going to go see Guardians of the Galaxy again either this week or next. And also Sin City fucking got destroyed. It deserves to. Six million bucks. That's enough to pay one paycheck. It won't make back its money.

Okay. Has anyone got eyes on confirmation? What's the rotten tomatoes at right now? Oh, it's bad. It's bad. Oh, no. It's nine years too late and it sucks. Took way too long.

But one of the stories in the movie is made up. Yeah. Frank Miller wasn't from the comic book. So this is going to tank the VFX company that did it. Fuck that really sucks. Because the VFX company that did it. We didn't even support it. Mostly did it on credit because they wanted the profile.

But the spirit didn't kill those guys. The spirit almost killed them. But like shit. Spirit killed Frank Miller. Because there's still some great... He's dead. Like there's no stuff to pick from. Yeah, there's still some great...

Frank Miller skeleton. There's some good meat left on the bones of Sin City though. Not anymore though. No. Sin City much better show than a movie. Everything you like is ruined. But even then a show like... A collection of shorts perhaps.

Because like how do you stretch out Hardigan's story across like 13 to 26? Well they didn't again for this one. You know what I mean? Well no, but like at least that's a two hour movie. Yeah. As opposed to like way more. Also why this is... Miller in Sin City would be like...

A real reason why this has failed is because I had to remind myself that it came out. I had no idea. I thought it was coming out September or some shit. The first thing I heard about this was how that was. Like because there was a whole thing about the censorship of the poster. And that's... So I did... I was following that a bit.

But like there was just not a lot of marketing going into this leading into it. Compared to the first one. Remember it doesn't matter whether a nipple is seen or not. It's whether the implication of new... If you can tell there's a nipple there. Yeah. Because we all know that no one's naked beneath their clothing though. That's one mystery we'll never solve.

The mystery of clothes man. Also I just want to point out a little link that... Unfortunately like I kind of glanced over it. I didn't get to read it fully in depth. But it seemed to be sort of legit. You probably weren't so... HossLogix guide to sticks. A lot of people ask about sticks.

A lot of people ask about sticks. And no matter how many times you answer them they're not going to go find that old poster from 4 months ago. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Never. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Before that wasn't the best. Yeah, that's right. Gotta put the catch up game. Most available to everyone. Come on the fuck. Some of the Chinese or Korean companies that were making their own sticks kind of were like, it's cheaper for us to just make a converter at this point. See, now they're putting that like.

The converters have to be perfect though. Which they're not. Yeah, exactly. Technology's not there. So yeah. With that I guess we can jump right into the letter time. Letter time. Left time.

Okay. Was that an Icatch? Was that an Ipo Icatch? No, that was a game that we're playing today as Icatch. Okay, alright. It frustrated Pat whenever it happens. I wanted to see if you'd pick up on it. Race War.

Are you just, are you? We're playing Race War the game. We are playing a game in which a race war is a significant part of the plot. Is it the Anthony Coomia game? No. Okay. Then what is it? Something that's coming soon.

People who know know. And people who don't will find out soon. If you want to tell us about how you think the Race War will start, you can send those emails too. Super best friendcast at gmail.com. If you want to tell me what sides you want to pick, send those emails too. Super best friendcast at gmail.com. And maybe, just maybe, just maybe, your letter...

I feel like every Race War series on the air... It actually goes down to the Chappelle show, like Gracial Draft skit. Yeah. There's no way out. You picked the RZA. The JZA. The entire Wu-Tang Clan nominated to the Asian race. Oh!

Woo! Woo! Seeing a bunch of like little old Chinese ladies... Yeah, doing the... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What is the fucking best thing ever? Okay, so we got the first one coming in from Tarak. Tarak says, how do you think the Race War will turn out?

Tarak says, I'm recently a character in a new moral combat game. Oh my god, this is nice. This is Tarak. Yeah. Hey best friends, your third strike fisticuffs inspired me to get into SF. I bought it, and I bought Ultra, and I fell in love with these games, and Makoto. You're right. Unfortunately, I'm not very good with her.

I lost about a hundred rounds to reuse, and I finally ran into another Makoto player. Got body. He messaged me afterwards and said, I had her moves down, but the problem was I wasn't playing aggressively enough. Play more aggressively. This makes me think of your Dark Souls 2 run, and how I was doing better once... How Willie was doing better once he got more aggressive. So I thought I'd ask, what are the things that you think help you get into the aggressive

mindset when playing games? Okay, well I'd say... William, take the floor. Okay, well I want to say, barring that, your first 2,500 matches... No matter who you are, your first 2,500 matches against good players are going to suck. If not more. Get good with the star, Asterix point. You may never get good.

You may never get good. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. How do you do good at being a good... use her dash. She dashes super fucking well. This is a whole lot of questions. Like there's some specific... Because your core 2 play styles in almost every game of any competitive style are your

turtle and your aggressor. So the goal in general is one of either extreme, impenetrable defense where you... Just as long as Chun-Li for a good example... Yeah, you do not play, you poke their life lower than yours and wait for the clock to do the dash. Or... That's called playing late. Right?

Or there's the other attack which works on their brain. Yes. You have so many options coming in so many times that they don't know and they're forced to guess and they'll guess wrong. In general, the way to learn it is by doing. So the first thing you want to do is, particularly in the fighting games, rush them down. Even if you don't feel confident, just rush them down. Mentally check that you are splitting your rush down options.

You are not always jumping in. You are not always dashing. But you are always going forward. That's it. There's a basic thing that, and not just fighting games as well, but in general if you're trying to think of the aggressive mentality, take those times where you'd be playing what's called the neutral game where you're assessing the situation and instead walk forward. Yeah.

And the main thing is that you're only going to start to get into it once you have the experience of you dash directly forward or move in more broad terms like you move extremely aggressively towards somebody and you can feel them freeze. You can feel them freeze up because they don't know what to do. And once you get into that, because that's the entire game plan, it doesn't matter what you do there, it's all about getting in their face and causing people to panic. And once you understand that feeling and you don't panic yourself, just to hit them. And if you're talking about a game like Dark Souls where being aggressive against PvP or PvE

is going to help as well, it's similarly being like you don't have a chance to set up your strategy. You don't have a chance to let them think. Hit them before they hit you. Yeah. Just go in swinging. It'll probably get you destroyed a couple of times. It takes a lot of time.

And that is part of the art of basically like crank it up to 11 and then learn how much to dial it back as opposed to slowly dialing it out. So like for people that aren't playing to a playstyle that doesn't naturally come out of them, like turtling seems to be better for noobs. It seems to be because you lose more slowly. And you get more time to play. You lose more slowly and you can observe someone. But you still lose.

Yeah. And turtle people always get destroyed in the exact same way, which is a vortex comes along that nobody knew about. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know how to escape. Yeah. No. You want to do that to the other person.

You might have seen it a couple of times, but like the best, the best sim player that lives in the city. In the world. In the world. Right. Yeah. The best sim player, that snafu, this guy fucking has every once in a while a rush down doll sim that he busts out.

And you can't touch it. And brains break. Yeah. Like you're playing against sim who's supposed to be the lamest possible character on the planet Earth. That's correct. And then he's in your face doing shit and you're like, I was not prepared for this. Yeah.

I don't know what my options are. This doesn't happen. You unplug your stick and go home because you've never fought this before. It's great. It's great. It's great. I hope that helps. Do it until it works.

Yeah. Roman asks, if each of you had an anime based off your life, what's the genre slash concept? Pick a genre. Pick a genre. Pick a genre. Pick a genre. Pick a genre. Pick a genre.

Pick a genre. Pick a genre. Pick a genre. Pick a genre. Pick a genre. No I'm saying like what, obviously that's not the point. Shut up. Liam, you should have an answer right now.

Go. I mean like, I was, Harum, Harum, I was thinkin' just slice of life and then he just brought in Mecha and I'm like, so what it's fantasy life now? Yeah, it's just normal stories, walking around with giant robot feet in the background. Yeah. Anyway, go. I mean, I guess, I guess slice of life because guess what, it's my life and I don't know, no Harum.

I'll just throw Harum in there. Why not? Why not? What is Idle Master? And notice that you picked Mecha, I'm just gonna say boxing as well. What's the downside to putting Harum in your life anime? Well, it's gotta be true, which is why the Mecha bit is weird. It's gotta be real and one of the girls is your sister.

You're not gettin' away from that. Well, I'm takin' Harum out of this. Thank you for saying that because that really put the cherry on top. I would like to go for a supernatural-esque black comedy. So think of something like, I've gotta empty the fridge, there's a plug in there. What was that? I forget. What was that?

Sanrafo Neko, right? Yeah. Instead of Superhero, it would be like, monsters and evil shit. And it would be all the things that I think are happening, are actually happening, instead of not. But they're not. Yeah. I would say dark, brooding fantasy slice of life that has boxing Mecha.

Yeah, okay. That sounds about right. I mentioned that together. Exactly, that's how the anime industry works. We're the most uncreative motherfuckers. I love the idea of dark fantasy slice of life. Alternatively, a VR MMO, a slice of anime, slice of life. Trapped in an MMO or trapped in an anime.

Trapped in second life. Oh no. There's penises raining from the sky again. How can I stop that? I can't stop this. There's that creepy dude in the wheelchair thing with the hands. Yeah. And there's Ralph.

Stop. Ralph Pouton. Go away, Ralph. Get out of here, Pouton. Ralph Pouton is a hero. Everyone loves him. No, it would be a high school punk comedy. All of ours would be.

Yeah. It would be Cromarty. Yeah, Cromarty or Kung Fu High. Yeah. Something like that. Kenneth says, well, it's long, but he basically says, what are some great examples that you have of remixes of a main theme used at the right time?

We've obviously talked about persona. So yeah, that's all over the place. But he gives some great examples. He's like the instrumental version of Cruel Angels Thesis used in the final episode of Ava. The main theme of Robocop being used at the good parts. Robocop has its theme, I remember watching this on Rewatch where Robocop, the Robocop theme in some variants

is playing almost throughout the entire movie. It's nuts. Inception, of course, is a great one. And one that he drops here that I've completely forgot about, but I fucking love. And I think you brought this up a while ago, was Live and Learn in goddamn Sonic Adventure 2. The fucking song you've been hearing on the title screen

the entire time now has lyrics. That was a great reveal. The World Ends With You and Near both use that to extremely good effect. Yeah, The World Ends With You definitely. Have you played through that? You did beat it. Yeah, well, yeah, it does, exactly.

I don't have any examples that I can pull out of my head other than P4, which is the example I always use for this concept. Yeah, that's the one that comes out right away. There are like 14 variations of that fucking song in that game. And they're all used perfectly. And ending of MGS4 when all the main songs are performed in a certain way,

in a certain way, in a certain way. Ending of MGS3 too, for that matter. It's Deep Rift. A lot of MGS games. A lot of MGS gets the music right in that. It's just the right way to end a story that has taken up 20 to 30 hours of your life. You know what I mean?

I watched it not too long ago. I remember you freaked out when they played the Lonely Man theme in the Edward Norton Incredible Hulk for no reason. Yeah. Yeah, that was a nice touch. I remember you were watching and you were like, is this the Lonely Man thing?

I was like, yeah, you're using the main theme from the show. That was good. That was good. Plus the idle room freak, no shout out in that movie too. So it's kind of appropriate. Yeah, but everyone with taste loves that shit, man. We got one coming in from... Bloodman.

Oh, a dude from Dustloop got in contact. Oh, no kidding. Contact rather. Yeah, we didn't mention in the news that that DDoS attack. It's almost done now. Okay. There's a horrible horrible... Did you just cock your head at me over the DDoS attack?

I did. Did you not know about that? He doesn't. Let's skip that, Pat. What happened? Everybody got DDoS. Everybody. Battlenet, PSN, Battlenet.

Oh, yes, yes, yes. So Razor has got hit. I played that. Okay, I played that. Poor. Yeah. I heard Sony. I didn't hear about the rest.

No, the joke was that it's like, well, I can't play Sony. I can't play PlayStation. Oh, God, Razor's down. No, what do I do? Watch the line. Yeah. My whole... And a bunch of people in the UK saying it's a bank holiday.

What am I supposed to fucking do? If I can't get my Diamond Jackson, what do I do? Fucking unplug your internet. What is this outside? That shit's turning down now because the fucking groups, the crime responsibilities started coming, calling in bomb threats to airplanes. Oh, that's good.

And all of a sudden, people started to get involved. Yeah. Like the feds and whatnot. Instantly. And now the DVUS attacks are going away. It's fucking moron. Oh, anyway. No, just one cool thing.

A guy from Dusseldorf got in touch. That put together a nice 35-minute Ultimax primer. Yes. Send me that. For people, yeah. So for those of you who are looking to just... You're sort of familiar with Arena, and you want to get ready for Ultimax.

That's for so far, Arena, Ultimax. Yeah, you can check out the stuff on this guy's channel. It's YouTube slash bus of impending doom. Nice. And he's got some, you know... What kind of stuff does this go into? Like the systems or the characters and stuff? Shadow mode tutorial.

Oh, God. Thank Christ. I don't know how it works. Yeah. Just breaking it down if you're sort of familiar with Arena already. It's not for beginners necessarily. Jump in there. Thanks for sending it over, Yukio.

Hope you get some likes and clicks. And yeah, I fucking need exactly that. It's been a while. Whenever updates come out and you're not up-to-date, I can't play it. I didn't follow the arcade version because I can't play it. You're not allowed. Not allowed.

They're like, no. How awesome is it that ArcSys is putting out those two characters DLC for free? That's pretty cool. That's great. I'm really shocked. Considering they've tried other schemes. Well, the schemes. There's a third character that won't be free.

Yeah. She'll be $17.99. She'll be $7.00. They cost them all three together. But those first two are free and they're like first print or like first week pre-order or whatever. That being said, if you don't pre-order, she's not free.

You ought to buy her. Yeah. Shout-outs to Dub Trailers. Who? The Dub Trailers for those characters. Oh, yeah. They're good. They're good.

Also. You're all just a bunch of losers. DetroitSentai asks. Oh, what a great name. Oh, there's so much potential here. I know. DetroitSentai protecting you from myself. Hazelibatsu.

Why are there two copies of Battle Fantasia and the Stack of Games that are shown on Friday night. No. That's a really simple one because a motherfucker never gave my copy back. That's one of those that's actually empty. One of them is empty. Yeah. I went out and got another one.

It's a fun game. Yeah. It's a fun game. I need that around to show people, man. Definitely. Like look. Never going to play it on the show, but fun game. People need to know where like before Street Fighter, before KOF, the first game on the

show, the title type X2 that tested 2D 3D stuff. Yes. Battle Fantasia, of course. Slippery Rhythm Busters. No, but this is the engine. This is the engine. I wasn't going. Also, Battle Fantasia is one of those games when we just saw the first screenshots of

Street Fighter 4 out of EGM and everyone was shitting on it. And everyone just. And then you and I were looking at those videos of that one guy playing Battle Fantasia and you were both like, this is the way it should be. Like this, Calcom. Take notes. Yeah. And then it's like, I guess it's time to hate you again.

Yeah. Like when we saw that the camera. That was actually before. When we saw the camera was not rotating, it was just moving on a 2D plane. That's all it took. Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. Fun game.

We got one coming in from Brian. Yeah, Brian. What's up? He says, hey, Zeibatsu, would you like to see more games utilize a difficulty mechanic that scales with performance? Yes. Or stays with static difficulty selection that we know and love? I love scaling performance difficulties.

If they are built for normal and advanced people, not easy to normal people. I don't like it. You don't like Godhand? No, I'm saying. Get out of my house. I like it if it's done in a set in a way that's more like adaptive AI as opposed to straight up like, we're going to make this guy's thing a variable according to you and what your stats are at.

So not Godhand, but this RPG monster is higher level because of your level. Not that. That sucks. But that's scaling. You're right. I'm not talking about that. Last of us is a good example. They have their discrete difficulty modes, but they also have this and it's very simple

and RE4 did it and all these games and resources do it. They don't fuck with the enemies, but what they do fuck with is your resources. Not true. I played Last of Us Volthrough on hard recently. When I had lots of ammo, there was no ammo in the fucking world. On survival, you can't shiv clickers. And to me, that's just like, that has nothing to do with what we're talking about. A lot of modern games do have this sliding scale of, are you kind of fucked right now?

We'll back it off just a little bit, just a little bit. Make him fucked. Okay, yes. The director. Yeah. Yeah. So Left 4 Dead is the key example of that. Left 4 Dead and God Hand, meaning the two ones that just went balls out with this concept.

And that director thing, that's close to what I mean with adaptive. I love that shit. Adaptive AI. I love that shit. But my worry is always when it's geared too low, it's like, if I'm doing really well and it can't keep up with me really doing well, that's fucking bad. Or yeah, if a boss has patterns and it knows which ones you're failing at and it's like, I'm gonna fucking...

Do you remember in the old, I think it was Virtua Fighter 2, you'd go on the options menu and turn learning mode on. And what would happen is the AI would literally count the amount of moves you did in an arcade mode run. And if you got to the end and you were still using like four at four, all three buttons with Kage, like the boss would just sidestep you every single time. Every single time. Brawl has Soul Calibur 2.

Brawl has Soul Calibur 2 too. Yeah. The AI learns based on your performance. Soul Calibur 2 had the mode in at least in the arcades where you train an AI in your style and you fight it back later. Also the final difficulty level in Killer Inks and Kyle looks at what you do and then does the opposite of it and then you constantly have to change your own tactics. You'll literally not win with what you're currently doing.

So basically the R9K difficulty mode in a way. I would love to see more like fluid difficulty. Yeah, like when it works it's good, but I think it doesn't work often though. I think fluid difficulty works perfectly well inside a discrete difficulty. Like Left 4 Dead has hard and normal and super crazy and then it balances itself within that. Yeah, like I said, when it works it's good, but when it doesn't work it's absolute horseshit and it ruins the game. You're rolling the dice on something really great or something really awful and you have

to be confident that you can actually do it. Don't make that dude's life bar higher because mine is higher. Don't do that. FF8, fuck you. Fuck you FF8. Final Fantasy VIII. You are a bad game. Except for one part.

Except for Triple Triad. Yeah. I was going to say Rinoa. Jake says, not Selfie. Not Quistis? Quistis. No, Quistis. It's like a quiche.

No. You don't like quiches? Mad Confirmed for Hating Quiches. Yeah. Jake for Hating Breakfast. I can go on all day. Yeah, he hates breakfast, everybody. I do.

Fuck breakfast. Except for cereal. You don't mind cereal. No, cereal's great. Serial's not in the morning. Breakfast is not in the morning. Serial's all day, every day. Yeah.

Bacon's great. OJ's great. But not in the morning. Fuck eggs. Ruining his life here. Jake says, actually it's just almost like a little heads up. I don't know if you guys know about this. Red Letter Media recently tackled the issue of Sonic games and ripped them a new asshole.

They sure did. Yeah, we're all going out of jobs now that Red Letter Media is doing video games. Maybe you would like to view this. That video's full of shit. Is it? It is. I haven't watched it when it first came out. I haven't seen it, but that sounds like it's gonna be great.

I can't remember the specifics, but like, boy do they rag on that for stuff that is bullshit. Well, they're movie reviewers. Yeah, I know. But they're just like, hey, all the classics on it sucked, and it's like, no, no, they don't suck. What are you talking about? Like, they really don't.

Okay, because I'm very curious. The video is just... There are definitely outlines on Sonic where a new asshole should be torn. The video is just like, did Sonic 1, 2, 3 actually suck? Were they actually good? You see, that's why... And the video is just like, yes, they actually said, no, they didn't. They were good games.

That's not a very honest thing. It's let's say a thing that everyone doesn't believe, and most people disagree, but let's just say it because then people look at it. Much like a video where someone shat on Ocarina of Time for no real reason. But that's not... But Red Letter is not really known for doing that. No, no, but they do that. But they succeeded admirably in this video at doing that.

I felt. No, I think it's sincere. I don't... I think it's incorrect, but it's sincere. No, no, I think it's sincere. Oh, okay. I mean, they succeeded at, like, making the video. I can easily see the perspective of, like, you coming back to the old Sonic games after

all this garbage. Like, these are the fucking games that spawned, like, this thing, especially when you compare them to the Mario games that came out along that time. Like, the Mario games age way better, and I love the Sonic games a lot more than those Mario games at the time, and even all of them at that. Do they say their history with the franchise? Yeah, they do. Okay.

And as far as I remember, one of them had no history. Okay. Well, there's... I can't remember the specifics. That's that. I can definitely understand someone going back to something they loved, and depending on what it is, depending on what age they are, depending on where they are in life, they can go, yeah, this sucks.

But to make the blanket statement about Mario or Sonic, or the classic Castlevania, like, yeah, sure. Castlevania 2 sucks. You might not like it, but, like, dude, come on, like... We got one coming in from Steven, who wants to know... Hey, Steven. What is a good example of a really awesome song that was in a god-awful, terrible anime that you'd never want to watch?

The first thing that came... Was it the opening of Burst Angel, all right? I... I don't remember. Am I nuts? Or was that opening DC? No, I don't. Because that show sucks.

I don't think it was, because I probably would have remembered it. There's a lot. There's a lot. The first one that comes to mind for me is Sora in Oestelvia. Oestelvia in the Universe has a really cool intro. J-Pop is catchy. It's a... Database?

Shut up. I was waiting. So I'm going to say that. I have a game equivalent, and they weren't in a bad game, but like all the orchestral version of what that Kingdom Hearts song, what's it called, a fucking... The orchestral version of the use of Simple and Clean for the main theme is so much better than anything else in the Kingdom Hearts series. Right.

It's like... I have another game on. Sora in Xperia's Lane. Oh, no. That's fucking bullshit. I love that lane. Cruel Angel thesis! No!

Say what you will about Dothack, but the soundtrack's phenomenal. Should I watch Dothack? Yeah. Yes. Should I watch Dothack and just end up clearing an Excel saga and just watch all the MMOs? Oh, watch Excel saga. Watch Excel saga regardless. Yeah.

Then watch Poo-nee-Poo-nee-Poo-Emmy. But watch the intro to Dothack. Poo-nee-Poo-nee. Dothack's soundtrack. Watch the intro to Dothack. That's it. Or listen. Or whatever.

Yeah. It's totally stopping. Yeah. No, there's probably examples out there. I don't think... Oh, Gantz. Gantz has a really good intro, and the show is not great. I don't think Black Lagoon is a terribly good show.

It's really serviceable, but it has an amazing intro. Like, visually and the song is really catchy. On video games, all the shitty Sonic games have great soundtracks. They really do. You are completely right. Even the good ones have great soundtracks. I mean, they're always consistent. Yeah, Michael Jackson made them.

Wait, wasn't there one that they hired someone else and it wasn't good? Like, didn't Tommy Tolrico do one and it was bad? Yeah, Tommy Tolrico does a lot of bad things. I say all of them, but that is a blanket statement. You're right. Which one am I thinking of? I don't know. If you want to...

Pretty much all of them have good music. Even Crisis City from 06 was a good song. There's the argument to be made that Civ IV falls underneath this category. What? The best fucking song ever. The Civ IV African song starts at the beginning and then Civ IV is good. It's okay. Swarm's World Party has a really good theme.

That's a good Greek song. Yeah, because it literally just grabs all the different countries in the game and mixes them into this amazing game. Oh, Bionic Commando has a good Bane theme. What was that? That's not an anime. Isn't it, though? What kind of shit would you get white farms in if not anime shit? Killers say we want to have better soundtracks than they are games.

That's unequivocally true. That is true. That is demonstrable. Because even now people are like, I want... Where's the killer cuts? One time I showed you the opening to an NES game. It's an NES game based on a board game. It might have been...

Anticipationary. It might have been Pictionary. No, it's anticipation or Pictionary. It was Pictionary. It was Pictionary. The opening theme to Pictionary on the NES. It's a fucking masterpiece. I am not joking.

It's a masterpiece. I remember this game. It is so good. It totally was. Is this Gundam Wayne County? Oh, man. Or is that getting too mixed? Too mixed.

Nah, fuck it. Take it. It's fine. I will get out there and say, I love that fucking too mixed soundtrack. I think it's fantastic. I don't care if it's the most J-pop-ish shit ever. I think it's great. Here's what I'll do for them.

Here's what I'll do. There is a London Symphony Orchestra cover of a Gundam Seed fucking theme. That is beautiful and on my iPod today. Wow. That's what's on it. And you listen to it and you're just ejaculating blood. Should really see a doctor about that. He's like, no.

No, and working up to it, you're really angry. Once it happens, you're really happy. Oh, man. We got one coming in from Lawrence. Hey there. Hello, it's blood. Has there ever been a design for a character that you've seen in concept art in early stages that you liked more than the final design all the time?

There's this guy named Zubaz. Juri. Lily Bergamo was a good one. Lily Bergamo, yeah, though. I guess. Her whole thing. Her whole thing. Not just her.

Yeah, exactly. Specific to a character, Rufus, because he used to be King Cobra. Juri is excellent because she's Jolene Kujo, but she used to be just kind of like crazy adult Makoto type thing. I think Able. Girl Able. Girl Able, little girl Able. Little girl Able's awesome.

Little girl Able. I'm down at little girl Able. Tall street fighter. Yeah, a lot of the fighting game comes up because you see a ton of big spread in those games. Oh, because they have to draw such varied characters and stuff. This is why it looks way cooler. I think we talked about this.

Oh, yeah. This is why it looks way cooler in concept art than he does in the game. It's not characters, but every single object, creature, and character from Tomb Raider reboots. The original concept art that got out was all ghosts and demons and shit. And it all looked fucking amazing. And then it turned into Dude Raider. Oh, no, it turned into Tomb Raider, Dude Raider? Tomb Raider, Dude Raider.

Can you think of a particular character? Enemy. Enemy. Instead of being dude, it's a monster. I miss DD from Capcom fighting all sorts of things. I know you do. It's all right. And Rook.

And Rook. The one that survived is the one that should have been fucked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know this. We got one coming in. Oh. Yeah. A bunch of the merchants from Skyward Sword have some really nuts, early bits of art.

Like, how those were characters. That was really well done. Yeah. Those were really well done. The potion shop couple in particular. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of the early versions were like two big buff guys and one of them's in the potion stirring it.

Okay. Lots of really good Skyward Sword concepts. Love the fucking item coat check girl. Yeah. Kittress. Yeah. You love me, don't you? This is the complete opposite, but I want to put it out there.

The opposite of this, of the concept art that I'm like, oh my god, thank god they didn't go with this. This is the worst version. It's the original version of Kanji from Persona 4. What was he? He has a pseudo black pompadour and glasses and he looks like a complete piece of shit. I just want to hit him in the face. Oh, like just straight up old school thug from Japan.

Yeah. And he just looks like a smart shit. And he's so... The art book right there. I have the art book right there. I can show you. It just makes way more sense. Yeah.

We're not in fucking... And the bleached hair. Yeah. Like that works when you're doing flashbacks in GTO. Yeah. Yeah. That's perfect. We got one from Yorige.

What is a good... Oh, okay. What non-British, non-Japanese foreign show can you think of that you've enjoyed? K-Dramas are amazing. Yes. I've watched a bunch. I don't know their name. I've watched them too.

The Korean place next to my house? Yeah. Like whenever I go eat there with people, I try and sit facing the television so I can watch the K-Dramas. Shit. It's so good. It's so good. My ex-girlfriend loved Korean dramas and I watched so many with her.

I can't remember a single name. You don't need to actually hear it. It was subbed to me. No, but I don't need to hear it or understand. I know what's happening. Sure. Wakfu. Yeah.

Wakfu is awesome. Yeah. Get in there, friends. Fuck. Well, thank you for opening the easiest gate because I was locked until you said that. Cyber Six. Friends, Cyber Six. Man.

Thank you. Cyber Six to me is like that's the thing that's like if there was a reboot icon, I would be rocking that to you. Okay, so wait. What's the question exactly? Non-Japanese, non-British foreign show. Non-Japanese, non-British foreign show. Oh, so I read everything from the States then.

No, we're not counting the States. They would consider rebooting foreign. They would consider rebooting foreign. We get all their channels, though. You're totally right to Cyber Six. There's a French show that I started watching called The Returned, which has some sort of American equivalent or whatever, but it was like a person goes to town. Town has everyone that they remember for like their old town, but everyone's different

and she has to figure out why. Very, very good shows. It's on Netflix. Oh, is it called Les Revenants? Yeah. Yeah. That's what he just brought up. No, there you go.

For me, it would be Les Revenants. The French show that we got. He said no. It originally got a bad American remake apparently. That's what I'm thinking about. He said no British, right? No British. Because I got a ton if you go to the UK.

Yeah. Yeah. But yeah. Oh, it's the review reviews. That's not British. No, it's not. It's UK. The first time I saw Mazinger, it was Spanish.

It doesn't count. It doesn't count in French. At first time I saw Dragon Ball, it was in French. Does that count? No. The first time I saw The Simpsons, it was in French. And personally, I got to say, I really love French Homer. French Homer's amazing.

But French Homer is all right. It's French. It's a shock on fucking you. You're right. You're right. You hate her even more and you like Homer even more. You're doubling down. No, French Homer's pretty good now that you remind me of him.

He's really good. Yeah, you're right. When you're right, you're right. It's one of those dub jobs where you're like, yeah, this guy can exist here in French. There's no weird, like, the only part is when Bart goes to France and has to learn French. That episode is just a fucking mess. A little bit of a mess by that episode is the worst. This is gonna be a little messy.

But you made it through learning English in persona. Yeah, that's weird. That made me feel really bad. In P3 and P4, when they ask you English questions and I go, I don't know the answer to this. And you get it wrong and you're like, mm. The prison. Cody asks, bingo, drop a random, drop a random favorite movie line or like a section of a movie that you really like.

Oh, that's the professional. Everyone. When I was, I said earlier, I was playing cards against humanity and we just all started going, kill me, come on. Kill me now. You can't buy love, Joe. I don't know what that's for. You can't buy love, Joe.

Come on, Matt. Come on. You can't buy love. Oh, fuck. You can't buy love, Joe. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. But it doesn't mean you can't rent a few times.

Like, Terry, watch your mouth. Fatal Fury, man. Fatal Fury, the motion picture. I haven't had a boy in my room since elementary school. Elementary school. Yeah. So horrible. God, I don't know.

Like a million lines from Terminator and Terminator 2. I guess, right? You know. I need to close. Your parents are dead. The motorcycle. Like from the cool ones like that to the dumb ones, like I now know why you cry and stuff. Like there's so many good lines from that series.

Most short Snager movies. Most James Cameron movies. Bill Paxton in the car, in True Lies, talking the entire discussion about a Jamie Lee Curtis. That woman has an ass like a 12-year-old boy. And he says it in a bragging way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can suck start a leaf blower. Bill Paxton is the best scumbag.

He's the real best scumbag. Yo, Liam, you got a dick, right? Yeah. They line up like this in the middle, right? Yeah. All right, so to the left and to the right, there's two pockets. Inside your left pocket, there's a wallet. I want you to reach inside.

Pay the bill. Training day, man. Training day. I haven't seen that. So good. You should see it. It's a terrible movie with the best scenes. He is the police.

I heard it was terrible. King Kong has nothing on him. I haven't seen it. Training Day has got to be the worst movie with the best scenes. Or the best movie with the worst scenes. Yeah, yeah. I know. I depends how you look at it.

I don't care. The bad scenes bring that movie way down. They're fucking terrible. I love it so much. Macy Gray and all. I guess like every lunch from the Princess Bride as well. And I recently rewatched Princess Bride. The word that you keep using.

I don't think you know what it means. Yeah, absolutely. And of course... Everything from Samurai Cop. Everything from American Gangster. Everything from American Gangster. I was trying to force someone to watch my fucking movie last night. Pay my 10%.

When I get married, I can finally go, They tried to kill my wife! What are you going to do? You're successful. You could shot at you, Frank. What are you going to do? You could be successful and have friends. You could be unsuccessful.

You could be unsuccessful and have friends. You could be successful and have enemies. Yeah. So quotable. We got one coming in from... Ah, Elena says... Peeling. Elena says,

In the Friday Night Fisticuffs intro, The last shot has the logo pop up whilst Woolly is entering the room. But clearly the shot right before that shows Woolly sitting on the couch catching a stick. Now he was already in the room with everyone else. What are we supposed to believe? This is some kind of magic couch

that teleports Woolly out of the room so that he can walk back in like nothing happened? I sure hope so. I hope someone got a fired over. Okay. Elena, you win the email by correctly doing it. I guess the answer to this is Woolly called the shots on that video.

Yeah, we're going to do this shot. We're going to do this shot. We're going to do this shot. Woolly, are you sure that's... Yeah. We need footage. Catch the stick. Catch the stick.

It's... No, the correct answer is why would someone with the t-shirt that says genius at work be typing this email? Why would they come to our concert to boo us? I'm so excited! The Abes X. What's that?

The Abes X. Okay. It says, is there any way to save your hope for the Mugen engine? Because I see many games, and some are bad, but some are really good. Any names a couple...

Well, we... Apparently something called Shades of Manhattan. We'll have to just put this over to your court. Yeah. What are you talking about? There's never been more hope for the Mugen engine. Now that's salty bad. We'll keep it alive for the next ten years.

There are more characters being made now for salty bad. But they're having it like the past five years. Let's take that one anomaly out. Because that was magical. That was magical. But that anomaly is... Let's just go before that, because then there's no conversation.

I'd say no, because at this point nowadays, the effort you put in drawing the sprites, coding the characters, you might as well just make your own fighting game. Might as well. You can do so much more. We've gone beyond the limitations of it.

Even further beyond. You maximize all you can do in paint. It's time to move on. It exists purely for dumb bullshit now. Yo, what is this shit they call layers? Oh my god! Let's take one from... Lots of questions.

So many. There's always lots of questions, man. JKS wants to know... Jokes. Jokes. Is it a joke, you know? Jokes. Off the top of your head,

name a company-themed character who's appeared in a video game. Not a mascot, but a character that is like the embodiment of a company. That's a mascot. If you need an example. That's a mascot. So, exactly. Sonic has a Sega mascot,

but Sega's essential might be considered the company-themed character. And he has his own game. NISS, and any producer-themed character used in hyper-dimension Neptunia. Fucking Aki-Man. Aki-Man and Jack Frost are the two that pop into my head right away.

Jack Frost is the goddamn company logo. But the printing games, for sure. Yeah, the printing. Oh yeah, you're right. Those are good games. That definitely counts. Anything with a fucking Mugle in it? Anything with a Mugle.

Oh, Chocobo... Chocobo Dungeon. Chocobo Dungeon. Chocobo Racing. And the racing game, that's true, yeah. CoolSpot is awesome. I don't care. I don't care, it counts.

CoolSpot is a weirdly good game. Well, you could also do with Chester Cheetah yet, his own game. I mean, for counting mascots. And... one more coming in from Mark. You have to take one bump. Chair shot to the head,

get put through a table, or dive off the ladder. Is the table Japanese? I'm going to go ahead and say, no, but it's one of those faulty Booker T-tables. Okay, burn up. Chair shot to the head,

fall off the ladder, dive off the ladder. Dive off the ladder. I know my answer. I'm going to go with the table. I'm going to go with the table. I'd fucking go through a table. Yeah, absolutely.

I would dive off the ladder because almost always there's seven guys to catch you. And I would go with table except I saw one video of Rob Van Dam talking about one time. He innocently went through a table completely normally.

And he says, for some reason, one jagged edge of the table caught my eyelid and pulled it off. Okay, that's enough. That's enough. And he's like, for some reason,

I'm not taking a risk when something just decides to happen. But there's usually seven guys to catch you if you dive off the ladder. But that's if you dive out of the ring. If you're in the ring. We don't have the specifics about diving. And plus a chair shot to the head,

you never know about concussion. I'm in there with Matt on the ladder. I'd dive off the ladder. I won't. Chair shot to the head is usually the easiest, but if you want to sell it properly, you do the no hand chair shot.

Yeah, yeah. Just eat it full on. Yeah, eat it full on. I don't want to do that. I don't want to get a concussion. But you also don't want to sell like a loser. I don't care if I sell.

I'm not a wrestler. But then you, how are you going to go get it put over if you don't fucking sell? I don't care about getting put over. He's not a rapper or a wrestler. And David Arquette in the scenario. You'll never die a 40 like this.

That's amazing. Not with that attitude. That's dark. That's dark. What do we put on the watch gentlemen? I am putting a special watch where I challenge Willie to watch something, but he'll like it.

I just want to see if you can fit it in before we go to Pax or something. Oh shit. I watch an amazing, as soon as I boot up Netflix, Netflix original show 2014, a cartoon called Bojack Horseman. It is amazing.

And everyone should try to give this a go. Will Arnett stars in it. He's the producer. He has Aaron Paul in it. As Patton Oswald. It is about a washed up 90s sitcom horseman who now lives in LA. What do you say horseman?

This world coexist with humans. You mean a centaur? No. It is a world that coexist with regular humans and then just bipedal. Anthropomorphic. It's duck man with humans thrown in. Gotcha.

It is a modern day duck man. There are humans in duck man. Yeah. To be honest. Yeah. They have weird noses. Wow. Yeah.

If you like duck man, this is a show and since it's a Netflix original, you might want to give it a go and see how that goes. Okay. I take that challenge. I accept it.

And in return, sir, challenge you to watch Rick and Morty. I watched the first episode a few months ago, but I haven't started it back up. Okay. Isn't there only like five episodes? I think it's like six.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Fucking fantastic. For anyone, Bojack Horseman on Netflix. Bojack Horseman. It's hilarious.

Cool. Okay. And I mean, well, I already had Aldoni. Aldonoa Zero. Aldonoa Zero on my queue there.

Well, you and I have to watch Guy. We do have to watch Guy. You've got to invite me over when you're good. I know. And that's cool. But that's got to be schedule. Never.

Get cool. That's got to be skill. Yeah. That's on my watch. And yes, Pat, people are giving me some shit. Like, wow,

we'll be such a dick for not inviting Pat. And I'm like, well, I'm not going to butt into something I've not invited to. What kind of rude asshole does that? You have no stake in that. No.

I like Kevin Reiner. Yeah. Yes. Whatever. We'll pick a time. We'll pick a time. Sure. But,

yeah, no, my watch is obviously going to be transistor because thank you for letting me the PS4. Yeah. I'll get through that as soon as I can. Very good. On my watch,

I am hoping my copy of Bullet Girls shows up, which is a third-person shooter. Is it that game where I go on NeoGaff like you can't even go to the topic? Yes. Is this not safe for work? Yes, it is.

That's it. I am hoping it works on a Vita TV because maybe me and Matt could do something in the future with that. Maybe there's some sort of show. If we had a series for it. Could facilitate the Bullet Girl. Exactly.

So, I do have a Vita TV as well. No. Otherwise, I'm excited to get to try Hyrule Warriors, and Smash, and Freedom Wars,

and Evil Within, and Next Week, and Evolve this weekend. This weekend. This weekend. This weekend. And Next Prime,

and a bunch of other games that I don't know. Sunset Overdrive will be able to play. Sunset Overdrive. Oh, shit. I don't know how many of those I'm going to try. I am so excited

to go to Seattle Cheesecake Factory. I really want to go. I don't know how many of those I'm going to end up playing because I don't know how willing I am to go to Seattle. We went last week.

Oh, we'll see. Yeah, like the lines of these things are like any longer than 45 minutes. Oh, I know. Then I'm not even going to bother. Because remember,

Freedom Wars is open to the public. I have better stuff to do in Seattle. Sure. Than waiting lines. Like Cheesecake Factory? Like Cheesecake Factory. Yeah.

What am I going to do? I'm going to watch. Okay, the instant you guys walk out the door, I'm just going to dive right the fuck back into Diablo. Yeah, you were playing in the way.

It's got, it's hooked back in me. There you go. I'm going to polish off EPO. So next week, I'll have completely finished all visual audio, visual versions of the EPO.

You didn't play all the games. Now we can play the games and do a big video about saying, look at how bad all these EPO games are. Hell yeah, we can. I bet they're really bad. Although there's one really good

game. The Victoria's Boxer. Revolution. It's probably really bad. And there's, there's one Japanese one called The Fighting. So it's fine.

Yeah. I remember that one. I remember that one. It's coming up on the site and channel. It's coming up on the site channel. Site channel. We got Dark Souls. I guess, I guess,

between now and when we come back for the next one, nothing new will be out. Yeah. You got Dark Souls. Dark Souls and stuff. Ping pong between Dark Souls and Shalowen Monks.

Shalowen Monks. With the, with the Vista Cuffs. Yeah. On Friday. But when we, when we go to Seattle, we'll probably,

maybe depending on like, we could do some videos like in the hotel room, like what have we played in. We could put them up. Maybe what? Yeah. You've got two.

Yeah. All right. Yeah. I'm an American. No one saw me. I don't know if you caught it, Liam, but I burned a soul vessel. Oh, did you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your job? And now without, Oh yeah. Anyone who was watching Dark Souls 2 was like, fuck this faith bill, bullshit. Well, come on back.

We're on a strength bill. Yeah. Nice. No, that's the one way to play. There's some great lore going on where it's like, Woolsworth was the man that lost his faith.

The gods, the gods didn't deem him faith. The gods became weak and so he turned to his inner strength and became Woolsworth 3.0. Are you carrying an object that could not be called a sword? Yes, he's carrying one

that would be called a great sword. A slab of metal. Good. Thank you, man. And a mask, a mask worn by the Lost Center. Yeah. To a tone for my crimes

and just beating shit. Yeah. So it's a good stuff. It's a good stuff. There you go. Oh. We don't want the podcast now. I think it's down.

I think we beat it. We're just going to leave it on record for the next eight hours. We got the highest score on the podcast. We beat podcast 55. Yeah. Yeah.

Beat it like the old person it is. Until next week. Beating up old people's really easy. Come on, guys. Get behind me on this. It makes you feel powerful. Hey, come on. You ever hold a baby

and just be like, I could drop, kick this baby and you could do anything? All right. How strong you feel? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
