Castle Super Beast - SBFC 062: Time Ethics Do Not Exist

Episode Date: October 14, 2014

Woolie returns from his tour of destruction across Japan, tagging Pat in to finish the job. In the midst of the switch, we find a moment to laught at Polygon, PC tech spec shenanigans, and Smash 4 digging.  

Music Public place and paint rocks with like bird shit or whatever and throw it at people for an hour. Sure. I want that to be my legacy. That's how we will remember you. Absolutely. Cause that will be a news story and like why were these idiots throwing bird shit covered rocks? Find out in 11.

It was the final request of their idiot friend that died in a plane crash. Patrick Bovay, the non-musical talented Montrealer. Oh that other, wait he doesn't do music. Doesn't he? He does, he does puppet, he does stop motion. He does videos and all kinds of other crazy shit. He did this video of like a Bruce Lee action figure fighting like a spider-man or something. That's money.

It looked really good. And Kung Fu, Bruce Lee baby and stuff. He did that. I remember once I forgot who it was but I met somebody and I introduced myself as hey my name is Patrick Bovay. Are you that guy? He does those stop motion videos. Yes. Yes.

That guy is clearly the real Patrick Bovay. But if you don't die in that plane crash. If I don't die in the plane crash. If you make it to Japan. If you managed to survive that plane crash. Right, the initial threat to your life. That is the plane crash. Now that's not being said.

I could just die on the plane. There's no reason that I couldn't. Yeah like you fall down the stairs. Yeah, the fall down stairs punches your skull in. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. If you manage to make it there.

That's right. Right. You'll probably see what I saw. Yeah. You'll experience this awesome place. Yeah. Which from beginning to end was the best vacation I've had. Yes.

Right. All in all. You know now that I'm back on solid ground looking back at it. It was a fantastic experience. Everything was just solid from beginning to end. But those weird like maids cafes were around too much. Oh they're weird. And they kind of creeped me out.

A crowd was too much. So all in all. I don't know man. I think I got to give it a 7.5 out of 10. You know. Japan? 7.5 out of 10. I've been to a little bit too much.

But that's really part of the plan. Yeah. The camera angles just got way too close to the booty. You are controlling camera. But that's kind of the appeal. Yeah. So what you're saying is is that this thing that has been the fabric of their society for like the last 20 years.

The standard angle. I just. I don't know man. You know it feels like it feels like it was the perfect vacation. Like it's amazing. It feels like it was the perfect vacation. What was it all on the plus? Nothing went wrong.

But I got to drop it down to a 7.5. It ran smoothly too right? You'll talk. That's what's up. Poor Nintendo. Welcome to episode 62 of the super best reccast. Throwing down the gauntlet right? Sorry.

Bam. Bam. I threw the gauntlet from the plane. Like in the sky. See here's the thing. I love made cafes. I like the idea of going to a place and like little maid serving. So then when I come back I might give that a 10.

Yep. No absolutely. If I have as good of a temperature. Sure. People would be inclined to give it a 10 or a yes maybe. Yes. Depending on who they are. No.

But some guys. I don't actually love that cabinet. Some guys. I like the outfit. Some guys just can't handle that. Yeah you look really good in that outfit. I know I do. I've been working out.

No. You're right. Some people cannot handle that. And we will get there. Yeah. But to just I guess round it all off. You know. Yeah.

Came back. Got my fucking. I actually think it's disappointing if you come back and you aren't. You aren't the boss of a district by now. That's a vacation in Japan that has failed. You didn't wind up as the boss. Which district of Ikebukuro are you now the Kankabansho? Yeah.

Not quite Ikebukuro but I'm going to take Hakone for myself. That was a good badass rumble you had. See the way I'm thinking about it is I'm coming back and I'm basically like tagging Pat in. Yeah. To continue the domination. Tagging converse source. Just look for the fire and the smoke and you will know where I was and you will know

the path to take. Oh yeah. It's like who knows by the trail of death. Yes. Exactly. Walk bravely through the ashes. I said it before and I'll say it again man. The best place.

The best place. So you see why I love the country so much. Not even the media. It's amazing. For clarity sake Woolly I can clearly tell by the fact that you're sitting there that you're living in this week. I'm not skiking in this week. I was going to say Woolly sounded good.

And neither am I. No. We are physically here for now. And then as of tomorrow morning you'll be living in the database. By the time you fuckers hear this I will be possibly dead on a plane. That's correct. Possibly. You know what?

It's the roughest plane ride you will ever have in your life unless you go to Australia sometime which I know you don't plan to go to prison anytime soon. Yeah because then you get on the plane and then spider bananas attack you or something. I don't know. Or a bunch of convicts rip you apart. You see that video of those two convicts brawling on some guys lawn. Yeah man that was pretty awesome. I still can't get over it.

It was great. I still can't get over that news story from last week. The guy who tried to rob the gas station with a boomerang and failed and got let off with a warning so he didn't actually hurt anyone. Yeah boomerang saws us as a weapon. He gave it a good old college try. Oh he gave it a try and that'll land you in jail. He throws the boomerang at the money and he's like it didn't come back.

I fought this off. But yeah what you want to do man the place I'm talking about Hakone is what they styled Tokyo 3 after. Okay so the little countryside and the villages and the roads and everything that you see that is Tokyo 3 in Evangelion is this place called Hakone. It's the most beautiful thing. What about the angels? No they're not.

The statues that if you squint they might look like an angel. Japan has built itself up a little too much. It's now bound to disappoint. Wow. Does the Gundam fight other Gundams for earth independence? Only in December. Darn. But you can go see the fucking deer 24-7.

Yeah but I hate deer. I want to go see the temple but the deer are act. Okay. But I don't want the deer to fight me. I thought I hated deer too. I'm super prepared to punch a deer right in the face. And if you need to. They're prepared to punch you back.

Yeah I'm sure. There's fuckers. We walked right into a fight between two bucks going at it because a female was nearby and they were just like showing off and going nuts and tourists are like getting dangerously close to them and they're like eh whatever we don't give a fuck and then this third guy jumps in the middle of it and then you get this three way ramming battle. So apparently those my girlfriend told me that those deer right now like today or tomorrow are having their horns shaved off.

Yeah. To avoid murdering. Exactly. Visitors. We saw because we saw one with spikes on it. I was also told that the day you leave they're like 40 festival. They're celebrating you leaving. It's second golden week.

We did randomly walk into what looked like a girl like bandshow meetup dance group thing. But it was just someone's house. I don't know. I still don't know what it was but a bunch of teams different colors and they all had giant pompadours and big like thug. Oh it was a break dance fight. I think so. I think so.

I'm not sure what it was you know. I heard that there's just one temple that is constantly being gnawed on by raccoons and all the monks are like this is bullshit because we can't kill them. Like we have to hire people to kill them and even then we're pissed we got to do that. But they're literally eating our home. Oh god. These are the worst these Tanooki men. What you got to do while you're down there too.

They're huge nuts. You got to look out for every time you walk into a store you're going to get like eight greetings on the way in and 15 on the way out. What is it? Yrashmussen? Yrashay. Yrashay. That's the clean one that comes out.

I've seen videos of dudes in the store just going Yrashay. Yrashay is just no one in the store. They're just like I'm not going to stop screaming because someone might come in the store. You always have that moment where you walk in and you're clearly the only person. Haller in from the back. All the way. In the restaurants where you've got the button to signal and everyone comes running type of thing.

It's great but you can judge a lot about a place based on the greeting you get when you walk in there. That's right. And like most places will give you the kind of like Yrashay. They lag the tail and it was whatever. They're working but they care. But the best fucking restaurant we went to in the Shinumeta building had this like fucking dude in his 50s grumb grizzled man and when we walked in he looked over and was like get

our shit. Like you fucking. He's a kuma. He had such strength behind him. Thank you for coming into my restaurant. You felt the key blast coming at you. I am eating here. And it was like he said in the air just went yeah fucking service man.

He met that shit. Honestly like that that is what you want to look out for. Just walk out otherwise. Right here this. Yeah. This is. A mountain of yen. A mountain of fucking yen right here is fucking useless.

You will never spend them as soon as you get them just put them in the garbage in the garbage. I will not throw money out despite the fact that you've seen me throw money straight into the garbage. In Seattle you guys started throwing out all your American money. It was weird. When you get your stuff it is not the nickels. It's still worth a nickel.

One yen coins are good for is candy shops because they still do. I guess. You know penny candy. They still do that. But no machine will take anything lower than a 10 cent and a 10 yen and you're just fucked with all these fucking coins. It's garbage. It's the worst.

Yeah. The Japanese government has your DNA now though. Yeah. I guess they do. You can clone him. And as far as conversion goes. Why would you want to know. The worst natural disaster in our history.

To create an army of predator guys. My plan for the conversion is I'm just going to do whatever I want and when I get back I'll look at my bank account and be like oh shit. Yeah. No that works. That works. But it's just if for a general gist of an idea just move two decimal places up. Yeah I know that.

That's it. I fuck it up every time still. Yeah. Don't even try to go high. Yeah I move from the wrong direction. And I'm like oh this is basically free. The train lines are the worst thing ever until they become the best thing ever. So you'll see.

You'll learn. But you know and if about that most of the cool stuff that I picked up in whatever is going to come out through the hours and hours of video that I recorded. However for y'all today I have a few little things. Oh you got us a bag. I have a few little things. Santa woolly. Dalmin' out the gifts.

There we go. So let's start over here with Mr. Matt Mussels. What do we got. Oh my god. It's a little cube brick like guts cutie face in the entire set. It's the whole set. Oh my god. Look it's Casca and that guy we don't talk about and Zod.

Wow. That's really cool. Thank you. That's awesome. Yeah. How can my gatsu be this kutsu. You're actually really cute. Thank you.

Like I saw that and I was like what is that a puzzle. But no that's better. Yeah. I saw two pieces of Berserk merch in the entire country. It's free. One was a badly painted like guts. The big sword statue. Yeah.

Remind me later there's a statue that was just shown at a comic con or something recently like a Japanese comic con or whatever. It is the best Berserk statue I've ever seen. I have to look you to that picture. Thank you very much. It's a statue of the eclipse. It's a statue of guts. You need a bunch of guts.

Yeah. That's right. For the rising superstar. Oh what do we got. There you go. It's a Monokuma mug and it's his face and it's a mug. That's really sick. That's great.

This makes sense because it's super popular right now. Right now. Right now. And only now. It's like I'll add it to the set. No. No I don't have one. No no no.

It would be funny if you did. I have five but sure. And Pat. There you go. What is this. Oh shit. There you go. It's a figure of Rhino who's no off 14th.

Is it. This is the cat. That's the best one. This is the cat in here. The cat's totally in there. Oh yeah. Gato. That's actually really nice.

Gato means cat in Spanish. You're gonna have to speak up. What? No. No. This is a beautiful figure. Thanks man. No problem.

There you go. Thanks so much for bringing these out. No worries. No worries. How are you all for the inevitable disappointment when I don't do any of this for you when I come back. Oh well. Okay.

And we never expected it. It's true. Remember those gifts Willie bought you? That's what I bought you. No. There was all of it. Yeah. Now there was some.

I'll give you twenty dollars right now to avoid the news. I like the moxie there. I like it. I like it. No. And there was going to be more. Oh that's alright. You see if you, I was going to have it set up where you reach under your chairs and everybody

pulls out a fucking blackout god. Right. But the man stopped the man. Somebody stopped you from bringing news. The man stopped me. Right. Despite the fact that it was the exact perfect amount they said no they didn't fucking. Because they looked at the thing that said blackout god.

I was like no no. I'm gonna ask you how'd you get the maple syrup onto the plane? It's not like the man is too slow. It was in my check-in. Oh that's out. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what's up.

So now the onus is on you Pat. Uh huh. Yeah. To head on down to the Don Quixote. Which is the only place that sells it and you bring back some blackout god. I will. At least one. I will make the attempt.

Don't disappoint us. You all need to partake in the experience. So if I put that in my check-out that might go a little better. If you check it you're checking it'll be fine. I'll put all, I'm. We'll do communion and that shit will be my blood. The drink that I like, like blackout god, I will try and bring back like 40. Because you'll never get more.

Well guess what? I tried just about every other energy drink on the shelf and they were all terrible. Oh whoa. But they have red bulls. Okay. So I'll give this blackout god a shot. Give it a shot. Give it more than a shot.

If anyone says that. Give it your praise. It's blackout god. Because I know I'm gonna need some energy drinks those first couple days. But how come? It's god doing it. Did you have those moments like on the first days where you're just like I can't fucking sleep. It was four in the morning.

No, no totally. Yeah. And you just go out and you just walk around late at night and you're just like this is great. Shinjuku is fantastic for that. Shinjuku never sleeps. That's what I stayed. It was awesome. I was worried about that.

And I was thinking about this. Oh man I'm really worried about this. What if I'm all jet lag for the first four days? And that day I ended up going to bed at 9am in the morning. Yeah. Which means I'll be fine. Exactly. No.

The deal honestly the deal is really really simple. If your sleep schedule is all fucked up in advance that's great. It's gonna get better. But you need one important step. You have to sleep on the plane. I will try. If you don't sleep on the plane you're gonna be in pain. So do that as much as you can.

Sleep on the plane. Avoid the pain. There you go. There you go. I'll give it a shot. So you know I can't talk about any of the cool stuff that's come out because obviously I haven't touched it. You'll get there. Yeah.

But on the way back on the plane besides going through some JoJo with the girlfriend and stuff like that I got a few hours into SMT4. Wow. And god damn man. What an awesome setting. Yeah. What a fantastic setting. Wait.

Hold on. The first setting or the second setting? I guess the first setting. Wait. Wait. Well no. There's a slightly different second setting. No.

The initial setting I suppose. I'm really enjoying. The Eastern Kingdom of Macau. Yeah man. It's really cool. And you're like oh yeah. Samurais and demons and shit. Also what is clearly a PDA on my arm.

Yeah. That is not explained at all. Yeah. Hey look. It's Steven. Yeah. That guy. He's all in pain.

Yeah. Also fucking. Wow. That game doesn't take itself lightly. Like. It really. It doesn't fuck around. It doesn't fuck around.

It's just like two hours. Yeah. Yeah. I warned you and you're probably like yeah. Yeah. Okay. Then you get there and you're like what the fuck are you doing. No thankfully there's the game over screen is like hey look man.

Alright just use your play coins. You'll be fine. Yeah. You know. And it's awesome by the way. And if you do that three times they'll be like okay here's an easy mode. Okay. Well for what it's like.

I don't recommend. No. No. I don't want to do that in the game. But like you go through a tour and you get bum rushed. And then like the first thing that happens is like hey enemy gets advantage. Two enemies are in place so they each swipe and one hit kill one of your demons. Yeah.

You're like I'm by myself. Like what the fuck just happened. The first like the tutorial is the hardest part of that entire game. Probably yeah. Because the very first battle in which you have to negotiate with a guy and get him. Yeah. And if you fail he attacks you and you die. Yeah.

That's the hardest part of the whole game. No. But even in the first couple hours like until I really start beefing up my guys are still taking two hits and they're dead. Yeah. Why did you name your character? Flynn. Flynn.

Okay. That's that's great. I also named my character. Yeah. Me too. That's the first SMT game or Persona game. Where they put it in. Or Atlas game of SMT that the character has actual goddamn name.

Oh god I'm so happy that that was there because when I starting it up I was like fuck I have no internet. I don't know what to call him. What is it supposed to be. I don't want him to be woolly. Yeah. Exactly. Of course.

My first play through a Persona 4 is Patrick Boeving. Oh man. That was the worst thing ever. That was the worst worst thing ever. What are you like 10. Boeving. Boeving. Who does that anymore.

Oh Boeving. What do we do. I'm like yeah. Yeah. Yeah exactly. No thanks. Like Pat the hero of time. Yeah.

Yeah. Fuck that man. Like no. I remember my friend Jonathan in elementary school who made every single character. Every single character in FF7 bitch. Every single character. Of course. That story turns to nuts.

So did you buy any games in Japan that you're comfortable talking about that are on the channel. No I didn't. Do you mean that like games that aren't illegal. No. No. No. I mean like I didn't talk about a lot because we recorded stuff for them.

No. I just straight up didn't buy games. I bought some cool stuff that will make it reveal eventually. But as far as stuff that like I'm okay talking about is I definitely picked up this badass Kamen Rider skull like cool thing like kind of a statue toy thing. And I also got one with her Kamen Rider double and Fang Joker and I gave one I gave Fang Joker to Billy because that's his that's his thing. Yeah.

And yeah. So we just we have I have the regular combo. He's got the special combo and we were like oh yeah fucking Kamen Rider did you find your holocaust figure in a 50 yen bet oh my god wow no no but fuck that is so good you should have set it up you should have brought your own yeah but dude they have so much love for like your shit man like what's the predator your predator shit yeah your t-1000 shit yeah no like Terminator like certain American sci-fi movies like that Japan is in love like Alien as well like Terminator.

Yeah I mean I didn't see a ton of zenos but I saw a giant a fuck ton of predators and a fuck ton of Terminator stuff. If Square Enix just showed uh at uh you know they showed the new numera cat woman figure and all that but they showed like their samurai predator like Square Enix is making predator figures um and there was an awesome one where they had a they had a t100 all like decked out with the clothing and the war like uniform and whatever and then it turned out it was a real bad. Oh yeah you go in the you on the back and they have a big thing of um the actual jacket

from Road Warrior 1 and 2. Whoa really. The gang loves Road Warrior. And they've got they had them right there like the big picture and the signed and it was like holy shit has a fuck that's a random store in Osaka you know what I mean. Money. Yeah. Fucking money.

Um and then. He wanted it more than anyone else and he got it. And uh on on my second pass through Akiba uh I saw one of the military otaku stores which are interesting because yeah they're neat little things and I'm like I know there's a lot of guys that are into this. They're like yeah they've got the um uh uh airsoft type gun things and the full like rebellion. Now the airsoft guns in Japan to my knowledge don't have orange tips.

Uh I don't I don't think so no I don't think so only here's my advice as cool as those are don't buy those. That's not no no not an idea don't want to do it. I've seen. Hell I shouldn't buy them for fuck's sake. I saw the I saw the footage of what happened the last time someone tried to buy them. Yeah yeah yeah. Someone black tried to buy a whole new uh but what was cool was the side of that store

was just hey here's all the military stuff now here's all the biohazard shit. And it was just like they've got a whole bunch of t-shirts they had like biohazard tape you know. Remember there's a biohazard cafe restaurant. Yeah. That you could go to. Oh I guess I missed that. Well I'm not sure.

Is it a Capcom cafe? And they had like the ace attorney stuff at some point. Anyway they've gone. They've gone. Yeah I know universal has the ride but um but no and they have the shelf and they have all the uniforms and then they've got the Leon Jackets just a bunch of them on the fucking thing ready to go. So 600 bucks.

Eh they're there they're there you can get it. Yeah exactly. There's some great stuff man. Did you do you have that moment in Akihabara or otherwise where you went into like a soft map and you're just walking through it and you got to the floor that was just 99% porn ceiling to ceiling wall to wall. I actually I didn't go into any soft maps. Okay.

Actually. Cause that that was the thing that made me make that knee jerk statement a while ago where I was like what do you think of visual novels I think they're shit. Okay. Cause it is 99% like. I missed those floors. I missed those floors honestly. I knew her.

What a shame. And then someone gave me a heads up to the like if you see a store that's like hey we got DVDs. If you see the word DVD. It's porn. DVD means porn. Yeah exactly. So just keep that in mind as well you know.

Okay. But no I'm not used to dodging it. I kind of the closest I got was though I was on the Fujiwashi like floor of one area and I'm like squeezing through like these girls like kind of looking over their love life shit or whatever and I was like okay I guess this is not supposed to be my floor and then I got to the end and there's like a couple of attack on Titan pairing art on the wall like Y.R. stuff and then the stairway leading up that has a bunch of like exclamation marks around

these pairings and it's like I know what's up there. Yeah. I get it. I'm cool. And you might either way. Yeah exactly. Got the camera out. Yeah.

Yeah no that's it man. You guys will see the rest and it's going to be more than one video. Like it's going to be a different series so. It's going to be divided up into like Dragon Ball Z style silence. The arcs. Yeah. Yeah. But no that's that's pretty much it for me man as much as I'm willing to share right

now. Are you glad to be back? I am not. Or are you just like it's so much like would you spend another week? Yeah well it's like okay there's no there's too much to catch up on. There's too much to catch up. Too many good games I couldn't touch. They have to put your life on hold.

Yeah. And like I was explaining to you just now it was like the closest I could get to playing Ultimax was the old arcade version over there which is only had like two or three new characters versus. Doesn't have the three best characters. Doesn't have the ones I want to use exactly. And that I had to make do with and just smashed by this entirely. And if I were to miss Bayo as well I'd start getting.

Yeah I did a good job planning my trial. So yeah. Violent. Yeah. Little bit. You know I think some extra time would be good but I want to do that later. Sure. I definitely hit up the islands and all the cool spots I didn't get to you know that's

that's the idea. Well it's it'll stay there. Yeah. So you can go back. Yeah I know totally and I mean a lot of people have not a lot of people but some friends have gotten in touch with like the oh so you've got the notes you know the deal can you help me I want to go over and I'm like yeah I got the notes I can hook you up it's a done deal.

Fantastic. So enjoy. Glad to have you back Willie. Thank you. Breathing hard. Sorry to see you go. Oh. Love to watch you leave.

No. Yeah. Check out my butt. Thank you. Castor Troy. Anybody. No. That's for butts.

Well. Have you seen Pat's butt? I went to the airport tomorrow morning and I see you there. I'm never coming back. Y'all missing out on the ginger buns. Yeah I know. Get the fuck out of here. Pat's three quarters Brazilian.

Somebody tell me what they did with their week. I had a pretty busy week I had I went to La Ronde for La Ronde is our local is our local amusement park. It's all by Six Flags. Kicks ass. It's used to. It used to. Oh no.

Now it's just alright. La Ronde in October is open only on the weekends and it's open we went primarily on the weekends because they have Halloween shit going on. Yep. There are four different haunted houses you can walk through that everywhere we looked did not tell us anything about them like they're scary. We go okay then you pay it again to La Ronde you walk in they go oh well the haunted houses cost money.

And we're like no their rides they're like no it's $20 each in addition to your entrance. What is it a $40 pass per person. Where the fuck I was going to go Jari not to cut you off but La Ronde used to be cool right then Six Flags bought it. It's built out of the dirt they used to make the metro stations with man made islands. So it was 30 bucks to get in and you head over to the Nintendo you're playing the Smash Turnies you have sort of over there. That's right.

That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That was fine. Now they doubled the fucking price and they changed nothing. Also Flash Pass if anyone's ever used Flash Pass good job you're Satan. If you ever did that you're a piece of shit that you're pretty much a piece of shit.

It lets you skip the lines. Yeah what about it. You kind of extremely skip the lines. Yeah. Cause you're a piece of shit. Good job asshole. It's okay cutting in lines. I'm really confused as to what's the problem here.

We've established cutting in lines is a piece of shit thing to do right. Yeah. This is just letting you cut in lines. It's not cutting in line. You're paying to get into a much shorter line. It may as well be the same thing as cutting in line. Cutting in line is going to Disney World and paying a guy with a wheelchair to follow you around so that you get into the handicaps line.

It's still a piece of shit thing to do. And then Disney World was like we gotta cut down. When someone finishes a ride and swings back and goes on before you do again and again. They pay extra for it. The way to throw your money in my face dick we like. It's like 10 bucks. It's not. It's like 50.

Oh I don't remember. No one does it because everyone knows that person's going to get booed and get food thrown at them. Yeah. Anyway, Nolan used it and all these haunted houses the biggest ones. Like all the rides. Because that's the attraction. It's gone into the monster the first thing.

You should have gotten a flash pass. You should have gotten a flash pass. I actually wanted it after a while. Yeah that's the thing. Every time I was standing in line I got to see the flash pass people go by. I was never mad at them. I was mad at myself for not just doing it. No I was always like.

So eating my own words. But we're in this line for a doll house. Scary doll house. We're in the Toronto dolls. There's these big tough biker guys in the front of the line in front of us. And then there's some woman that's coming back from seeing it. And she goes to this guy. She says in French that this place sucks.

It's not scary. And all the guys turn and we go. And they all just get out of line. And then eventually we looked at them and they're like okay let's get out of line too. Like if we're hurting it sucks and this is the longest line of all. But we went to the others. It was like a scientist mad scientist layer. That thing was actually pretty good.

The foggiest thing ever. You can barely see in front of you there's so much fog. But that's good. And cool lights. And lots of. It's good when the performers don't talk. But that one was really good. It took a long time.

It took like 15 minutes to get through this lab and throw whatever. And I really enjoyed it. And then we get into this one that's a prison. And the prison is in that building that has that old shitty moving seats with a big dumb 3D TV in front of you. And the seat is in front of you. It's always like a dinosaur thing. Right.

Or whatever. Carnazor. Yeah that's what it was called. And they have it so that it's a prison. And they're just going to have all these guys make up in prison uniforms. And they're just talking to you not caring in French about like their day. And like some of the performers are like, they're just going to come back and he's been doing this for 12 hours.

I was like no you guys stop talking. Switch out. Yeah switch out. And the guys are following you and they're talking to your ear about like boutines and shit. And you're just like I don't. Stop it please. This is the scare that I didn't want.

So we went to El Golbo's and they're all pretty much fun. But like I was just in the room, I'm just looking around. There's so many kids and strollers. And they have like a guy that says, these are for scary things. These are for children. I go no. Have one or the other. Don't piss off one group.

Don't piss off parents that just want a fun thing for their kids. Because we saw someone complaining, oh this isn't right for my child. Like it says on the brochure that they're right for your child. Or just have adults only have blood, gore, everything. We looked this up recently. This was shocking to me. Like you know haunted house attractions you can go to and like farms and things to make money right.

There's a specific type of these haunted houses where you can pay to get the once over done on you. You're going to pay and then you'll be wandering around in the farm yard and someone will grab you, throw you in the back of a truck and tie you up and you go on an adventure all night. It's like you have to sign a waiver. Oh it's terrible. Wow.

In case we accidentally hurt you. In case we accidentally hurt you. They tie you up. If we get too into it. It's an actual like you want a role play and then you want a role play and they give you like a terrifying experience or whatever. Now like this is like this is a premise of a movie. Yeah.

Someone said yeah and then one day there was like an employee that snapped and then actually did the thing. For the adults and kids thing as a person who used to be a child and was terrified of that shit. You can't make it tame enough for some kids. No it's not. So there's no point in saying this scary place is kid friendly unless it's literally like a McDonald's fun house with spider webs.

And even then. And that takes up like you said valuable real estate or like the real estate. It would have to be you sign that waiver and that means sometime in the next five years. Michael Douglas in the game he's just doing his business and some guy just ruins his financial career. Like you paid for this. You know you just you don't know where with your work. Your insurance.

Everyone knows that is basically the problem. What was it? It's 30 rock where Alec Baldwin comes home and says yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yoshi. I'm having a really rough day right now tonight. Don't attack me. I told you that especially attacked me when I tell you I'm having a really really rough day right now.

All the lights turn off. So aside from that I had a Thanksgiving with my fiance's family and that is a fucking experience. That is eating nonstop and I like I go to my family's place. It's a quaint little meal we talk we chat whatever we have dessert we go home. This is a fucking mad house it is and I'm listening to all these stories from all these different sides of the family and I'm listening to Italian Game of Thrones. Yeah. They're talking about like alliances this part of the family they're doing this they're

doing that. Is there another family that like the mention of this family will cause someone in the room to spit family but it's even worse the specific people there's like saying you took them away from us because you moved here and we hate you because of that and we'll never ever forget like it's. It's. Sierra have a biscotti. Yeah.

Have a biscotti. To be there like all that was washed away whenever I ate anything. Everything was great. Nice little Italian lady just made the best for you. You don't have any colors associated with your wedding do you? No I don't. Okay. Not now.

Not yet. Keep it that way. Aside from all that I played a little bit more of Alien Isolation. Neon Pat did you play anymore? Oh well after we finished that video I was like this is the exact kind of horror game that I just don't want to play because I want like I understand people's desire to not be able to shoot a gun. But you want to.

You can't shoot a gun. I don't like horror games. I found doing the shit storm I like survival horror games. I want my I want my ability to fight back against the threat to be severely limited not non-existent. Sure. Right. And that game is less of a horror game and more of like a really pure stealth game.

Yeah I suppose so. But it's scary. Yeah it's kind of scary. But I played about an hour after where we because I just tried to blaze through the part that we played and I still didn't see the alien another time. Yeah. And we still did. Apparently the alien is like a full hour like 90 minutes after where we stopped.

Yeah and then we said this in the video that that game is if you don't see the alien after hours of playing then this game is awesome. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. You don't. You don't. You never in the two hours we played we never had an actual encounter yet to fight him. Yeah okay.

Or bypass. Or bypass. Yeah yeah yeah. But I did read like some people are disappointed because at the end it's like then you get a flamethrower then you're just mowing through everything. Oh. Not the alien but like androids and other stuff. Spoilers right.

Well I mean that's bad that you become overpowered towards the end but I'm like that might not be good for a game that's thematically correct with the movies like someone always goes nuts and just goes balls out towards the end because they're like tired of this shit. You go from PT controls to very a suit. Yeah. Kind of. Kind of. Because they gavel at crafting so I assume you have tons of shit by then.

And aside from that I played a little bit more Hyrule Warriors. Didn't we all. Last I'm on like the last scenario before the legends mode ends. But you're not. Oh. Yeah. But I switched characters. Oh.

But you're not there. Oh. Okay. Wow. So now that once that's going to be done I'm going to treat adventure mode like a fighting game where I'm kind of bored I'll just go into that. That's how I've been doing it. Then just fiddle around with that.

And I think the Epona DLC is this week I think it was announced. That's the 15th or something. So. 15th or 16th. So soon. So yeah. Epona and an entire second adventure map. Yeah.

The same size as the first. What. Yeah. And there's going to be a third one. Damn. And maybe a fourth one. Wow. Anyway.

That's 140 missions Wally. That's. Yeah. Want to get the ball and chain. You'll get it soon. I don't know. I'm like maybe 90 missions in new adventure mode. I'm still trucking away at it.

Boy that game's the best Musil game I've ever made. Oh yeah. It's fucking good. It's really good. Let's take a quick word from our sponsors. Look I'm preaching to the choir right now because you guys already know about how saving trees with the audible plan is the way to go. Yeah.

Most important thing in the world. You already know about how you can listen to your books now. You don't need to read them anymore. You don't need to cut your fingers. We've discussed it. We often. It's known. Right.

We've been there. We've done this. Did you know. I'm mad that we're still doing this. Did you know. About immersion reading my friends. What in the world is that. Is that where I create a bunch of sound like computer programs.

No. Go into the computer. You are wrong. Ghost in the machine. That was a guess. That was like. Immersion reading is something you can do if you've got a Kindlefire HD. Okay.

Okay. You can set up your audible audio book. Yeah. To play where you listen to it and it reads along the book with you at the same time. And the text is there too. And it highlights what's being read. And you can do both. And just.

More info. So like. A e-book audio book. It's everything. At the same time. So what you're saying is that you can double read. You can double read. And there is still no paper involved.

You can still breathe because the trees are alive. Okay. So everyone who listens to the podcast knows that there are a bunch of words that we clearly don't know how to pronounce. Aluminum. Or spell. A damino. Nuclear.

But this seems to solve that problem. Because if I know how it's pronounced but don't know how to spell it. Bam. Right there. If I know the opposite. If I know the opposite. Like you keep making fun of me like Segway. Yeah.

Ass. Yeah. This solves that also. Exactly. And if I do this with say a language that is not my primary language. This sounds like this would actually be like. Exactly. And you can use that.

Combine it with the other things like whisper sync. Chapter navigation. Annotated bookmarks. You can jump forward. Switch devices. Continue where you left off. Wow. It's the future of reading.

All in one reading program. And it's under. It sounds like the best reading program we're going to get before we just put the chips in our brain. Yeah. Do you know where you need to go to get this? Where? I kind of do.

But the future. Because I'm an idiot. The future is at audiblepodcast.com slash super best. That's what's up. Shit. You head on over. Free 30 day trial. What does that free 30 day trial get you?

A choice of over 150,000 titles to choose from. But Wally, I'm poor. How much does this free trial cost? This free trial is free, my friend. 0000. You said free, but then I was like, no, it can't be free. 399. 399, son.

This is free. 399. Only 399. 399. That's fucking awful. Every category of book available. You check that shit out. You love it.

You see it. Super best. That's the code you want to use. Audiblepodcast.com slash super best. It's the future of reading. Why are you not on it? Pat, before I forget, I don't know if you did this already, but it's one of the best things about like fucking off for two weeks is ordering a bunch of shit and then just coming home.

And it's all there. So did you get a tower of shit? I got a tower of shit. A budget like what? Like what? Well, like the shirt I'm wearing. Okay. Okay.

And a bunch of shit from Supergiant Games. The poster. Oh, okay. Yeah. The full face. The motherfucking USB transistor. Unfortunately, my mailbox is in work. This worries me.

I don't like this. Yeah, I see that. The handle is really weak on the transistor USB. At least it's not hard plastic. No, but it's still like this fucking dope. It's still cool. Yeah, unfortunately, my mailbox situation is not such that that would work out. You have to be there to receive stuff?

No, I have a small mailbox, but I live right next to a post office. So what often happens is they're like, hey, no, great. Well, just go pick it up at the post office, but that's 10 days. I'll be gone for 16. Have you tried notifying them? Okay. I'm pretty sure they do that kind of stuff. Ah, fuck it.

What do I need to come in the mail? I buy everything digital now. Yeah. You clearly have stuff and it's clearly a bit of an issue. That's fine. That's fine. Well, you're missing out on some of the fun that is Christmas after vacation. Oh, man.

No, I do that to myself. I just buy a bunch of shit and then pretend it's Christmas. Just go to Burger King and be like, 40 pounds of fries. No, but I bought myself a bunch of shit. No, see, what happened was I found I was buying so much stuff off of Amazon that I didn't know what package was showing up ever. Oh, I love that. So I love that.

Yeah, that's dope. And I opened up one of the things on the pile. Like, did I order a game? What is it? I don't know. But I do. It was the Cyber Six full series DVD. You send them like, oh, yeah.

I don't want to get that feeling regularly. I don't need to bunch it up. No, you need it more. Especially when the post office is just going to send it back. Yeah. Just trying to fucking... Yeah. Spice up your life.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Well, yeah. You're living in regular oatmeal. It could be cinnamon. I hate that. Liam, what's going on? What's going on is Thanksgiving is going on.

Today we're recording. It's actually Thanksgiving Day. Yeah, real Thanksgiving, you guys. Real Thanksgiving. But like, good Canadians. Yeah, Canadians. We do real Thanksgiving for the American listeners that are confused. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, for... I don't give a shit. Anyway. I texted my mom. That's how much I care. For the pilgrims. For the pilgrims, exactly. Indians?

What? Whomever, whomever. Canada? They gave them the germ blankets. So I had an awesome Thanksgiving with my family. And they said, here, smoke this. It's great. I haven't been up there in a while, so it was nice to see the...

Oh, God. What a great train that was. It was the best train ever. But he will destroy us. Otherwise, just playing. Like, what do you call this place? That place? Oh, Kanata, as in that place over there.

I think he means the lake. Yeah. Oh, Canada. Canadian heritage commercial being like... Hard to say it was a dumbass. Yeah. The guy was just saying over there. And he's like, no, good cool.

That's the name of this Canadian heritage moment. Great. Call the country that. Let's make a railroad. Culture. Who are you getting into that railroad shit again? That's going somewhere. What were you playing, Liam?

Playing Hyrule Warriors and Smash. Like I said, I won. Soccer. That's all I've been playing. But you hate Smash. Why do you hate Smash so much? A lot of people are under the impression I hate Smash, and that's really, really not the case.

That's because I fucking hate Smash. No, you didn't say that. I didn't say that. I said I love this game. No, it's because a lot of people are unfamiliar with the idea of loving something so much. So much that you nitpick it. That you can nitpick it for hours and then still love it. Yeah.

You love it like your baby. That said, I think when you have that many nitpicks, it's a bit more of a problem. Yeah, no, you send that baby to a special school. Exactly. You're like, no, you can't keep stabbing the other Smash kids. That's a bit too much kids, Smash kids. See any episode of Dark Souls. This analogy completely.

No, it felt good. We're gone. The feeling I have towards Dark Souls 2 is near identical to the one you have towards Smash. There you go, there you go. This is amazing. Amazing game. I can't believe how great it is, but it's not as good as the game they made right before

or the game they made right before that. And there's all these little tiny issues that add up to this feeling of ah. Whenever I go into a Dark Souls video, I see some people just saying, man, Pat really hates Dark Souls 2. No, I love Dark Souls 2. Exactly. And I'm looking at that and I go like, he loves it. So much Dark Souls 2.

He loves it so much that he hates it. I thought I'd be in the game like four times. It's the weirdest thing when you love it so much that it sounds like you're dating it. That's FGC as well, man. Otherwise, I was replaying Super Castlevania IV. Oh yeah, you were. Fucking shit, the level is the best. That game's amazing.

Alright. The level where the fucking level rotates is incredible. I can't believe a launch title holds up. Probably one of the best launch titles for a system ever made. I agree with that. I don't know if it's the best. Great game. I'd argue that Castlevania I is still one of the best.

But I will respect your opinion on that. The first Castlevania? Because you can whip diagonal. No, exactly. How nuts is that? The first Castlevania and Aria are still my favorites. So, like, yeah. You whip diagonal?

That's the fucking point. Oh my god. And that would have been my week. But then, out of nowhere, the Beow2 demo came out, which I played a whole fucking lot of. God damn, that's good. It's the same demo we played at PAX. It's the same demo I played at E3 all that time ago.

Hey, it blew me away when I saw the reaction to that demo. It was, like, ecstatic. It's like, you know, fuckers, now that video of me at E3 2012 playing that game with this look of bliss on my face makes sense, because that's the demo I was playing. It's that one. That demo is awesome. It's set to easy.

It is set to easy, but, like, whatever. Whatever. Game comes out. We never asked for a demo, but we got one anyway. I was saying to Liam how it's a really good demo just because, like, the way it starts up, it just says, like, I don't know, it's like some character action games language is a little weird, but it just kind of made it

very straightforward. It starts up like an arcade game. How to play. Yeah, how to play. You just press X for punches. There's not a shoot. Blah, blah, blah, blah. And then when Liam was, like, later, did you switch to the other weapons?

I was like, what other weapons? And he's like, well, the demo doesn't tell you, but there's, like, two other weapons. Yeah, you have dual swords and weapons. Well, I think I inadvertently pressed the buttons and knocked them out, but, like, that's a good demo. That tells you everything you need to know. When there's something in the demo you can't find on the first run,

you know it's a good demo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. And that kind of consumed the latter half of my week, that eight-minute demo. Yeah, as it should. It's fantastic. I can't wait for that.

I was so happy when, like, after, like, landing back down and getting into the internet, like, zone, I jumped on, saw that hook into my vein. Yes. You can't go to catch up, right? You ever see Lane when she's fucking in the wire going and her mouth is moving? That's me, man.

Just updates, updates, updates. And I go into that Bayo review thread on Gaff, and I just see that brilliant picture of her in the air, like, with the guns floating. Yeah. It just tends just raining from the heavens. Of course. It was great.

It was great. I was so happy to see that. And that one guy's 7.5. Well, we'll get to that later. Should we eat a little bit later? I think we will. I think we can. I've literally been saying guys every time I refer to it.

Yeah. Like, guys, guys, come on. Guys, come on. Well, all the interviews are not worthwhile for me. As I wrote in the fucking docket, Bayo cleans house, but polygon is going to polygon. Yeah. Yeah.

At the end of the day. A couple of interviews gave an eight split. I mean, you know. My week, are you done with your week plan? Yeah, take it. You mind if I go on? Okay. I didn't play that much this week.

I played the Bayo demo with Stellar, but I played that demo like five times before. I played more Hyrule Warriors, but nothing to say. It's more Hyrule Warriors. It's just good. More Ultimax. Damn, Ultimax is really good. Mm-hmm.

Margaret came out. She's awesome. Mm-hmm. She has a German suplex as her furious action. An aerial German suplex. Am I the only one that follows that blog? I follow the blog. You follow that blog?

I follow the blog. There's no blog I'm talking about? Yeah. Girls doing drink German suplexes. That's the best. What else did I play? I played like maybe like three afternoons worth of Guild Wars 2. Oh, no kidding.

Because I was sitting around going like, I really need to play an MMO right now. Oh, and it is. I just really... God, withdrawals, man. It's, I'm still getting, wow, pangs. Still. After all these years.

And I bet it's super updated since your last channel. Yeah, and I played through a character's entire starting area, and then I was like, oh, I remember why I stopped playing MMOs, because holding down on the right mouse button with the wave that my little stool is from my mouse pad causes me like horrible elbow pain. So fuck that, I'm done.

And that's pretty much all I played. Well, you picked the right one, because you don't have to commit to that. Yeah, exactly. Guild Wars 2 is a fantastic MMO that I bought once and will never have to pay for. And I didn't play that many games because I was too busy finishing monster,

which I totally finished. Oh, yeah. Asshole. Yesterday. How much did you have to watch? 54 episodes in seven days. How about that, Reikwein Sensei? Reikwein Kicksass!

Gribber Kicksass! Everyone Kicksass! There's a lot of cool Germans in there. Lunge is the best character in that thing. So, yeah, monster is probably one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. It's outstanding in every way. And it's so outstanding that it's a 74 episode thriller drama mystery

that as I hit episode 66-ish, and they start building up towards the final series of climaxes, all I can think about is, oh my god, there's no way they can't fuck this up. There's no way for this to possibly end well. Like, it's been built up so big, and there are so many threads and so many characters that there's no way...

Someone's gonna drop a suit. There's no way that this cannot be like a super anti-climactic fucked up ending. And then the climax is on such a traumatic change in scale that I was expecting, and everything just fit to dots. They didn't fuck it up. Nope. They didn't. Nope.

And they left... And they didn't overexpose the... So it does the same thing that Full Meta-Ochimus does, and it's one episode. Episode 73 is the end of the climax. Episode 74 is like, here's the denouement. Here's your shit's over, but they don't overdo it.

They tie up two loose ends, leave one big loose end open, and then it's done, and you're finished. It's one of those things that everyone forgets about it, even people that love it forget about it type of thing, but when you remember you go, oh man.

And to see, and I've never seen any program or theme in anything, be so unabashedly Nietzsche-esque. Yes. You have the two big, famous Nietzsche things of God is dead and nihilism, versus if you fight monsters, you become monsters,

and your soul just dies. And quote, unquote, and slowly you come to realize it's all as it should be. Yeah. And stellar, outstanding, amazing. Now, now you go read 20th Century Boys. 20th Century Boys? You go read that.

Yeah, okay. That's the right. I'll watch those movies. To anyone? Yeah, you can really want to cut down on a lot of shit. You can do that, but it's a great lead. Anybody who needs some to watch,

monsters, monster, oh man. Oh, that's an evil monster. And then there's the monster, and then there's the devil. Yeah, devil, yeah, devil man's really good.

Everyone should. No. I mean, there's the monster, and then there's the devil. Yeah, devil man. And boy, that was G.E.E. Woof.

I don't really want to say anything else, because it would obviously make noises, I guess. Yeah. But, we'll get a couple more noises. Woof. All right.

A few more. Woof. A dog now. There you go. Amazing. Super amazing. All right. So with that,

Ubi, please, the follow-up. I can't believe we had to do this, like, two weeks in a row. Why didn't UbiSoft listen to our first podcast, our last one, so that they wouldn't be on it again this week?

Did you catch P4R's take on this? I didn't. It's the, they literally just copied the article they wrote before, right here. The first article was, UbiSoft on Assassin's Creed.

Oh my god, they're back to back articles. UbiSoft on Assassin's Creed parody. If you're, you're still going to buy it, you losers. And then they just pasted the next one, UbiSoft on Assassin's Creed Unity FPS.

You're still going to buy it, you losers. The text is identical. Sparring the little details. Except for, except for parody replaced with FPS. They did, they did control F,

replace. Wow. Godly. They had the opportunity to just reuse an article. So, Liam, you told me about this last week.

Yeah. You're the first person I know to know of this. What did Ubi say? This was the FPS thing, right? Yeah. Where they said,

because I'm confusing the two, because they were two days apart. Yeah. This was where they said 30 FPS is what we want because it's more cinematic and it just feels weird for an adventure

or an action game to be higher than that. You're a shooter, 60 FPS is good. That's paraphrasing them because I can't remember the exact text. But like,

you know, there may or may not have been a demo for an action game that came out the other day that was 60 FPS, pretty solid. And I think I was not jarred by that.

I think it played way better. Yeah. That being said, what Ubi was talking about requires a lot more. That's what I was going to say. Ubi, that's a wrong statement,

almost any genre. Well, the follow-up statement, that was ridiculous again. Assassin's Creed is a thing that, like 60 FPS might be cool, but Assassin's Creed gameplay and its fighting doesn't

require that amount of fluidity. At the end of the day, at the end of the day, giving you 60 FPS would give you double the opportunities to see how shitty the game plays. But we need NPCs. That's the most important part.

But hold on. It is pretty impressive, actually. It is pretty impressive, actually. But there's more to that initial statement than that, though, because they said that. I don't have the text in front of me. He said that,

but he also said we don't want to get into the argument. So to avoid the argument, both systems are going to be equal. And there's a third statement about resolution, where it's like, Hey,

who cares about how many lines it is? We don't count the lines. As long as the games look gorgeous, who cares how many pixels they are? It's like, you do. You told us back in 2005 that HD was the fucking future. That having 720p lines of resolution

was awesome. It was the best. And that I had to get a new TV to appreciate all these games coming out. And I got that new TV, and that TV does 1080. And these consoles do 1080. So where's my 1080?

Where is it? What statement was the game unit before? What's that? Well, game was that statement. Probably Assassin's Creed or something. Unity. No, that was the entire industry. Okay.

The entire industry was like, HD game is the fucking channel. It was Capcom with making Dead Rising's text illegible on a regular television. That's when you know. The birth of new compliance. When that thing happens, that's when you know that your current generation

is not going to be a very important one in the grand scheme of things. Like, when we're kind of backing down on what we said last time, because we realize that we, like, the power increase or whatever can only result in this many differences from last time,

and now everyone's kind of doesn't know what to focus on. Other people will focus on resolution or more NPCs. Everyone doesn't know. I think everyone knows what to focus on and it's the same games as last gen because that's what sells 10 million units.

I've been saying it for like 10 years. I'll take a scaled down game at a higher resolution and a higher framerate. That's what I did on PC all those years. My cards getting old. Can I turn the shadows off to get a better framerate? Yeah.

I'll turn the shadows off. I'll turn the NPC dead scene off. Look at Bandit 2. It's not that gorgeous, but like, it's so fast you can't see the imperfections. So the follow up after they got some shit flung their way for saying that was

okay, let's be clear, we don't diminish any of our games like visual fidelity. I think the specific words are like, I misspoke. Yeah. It's like, did you misspeak? And you know,

essentially they would never intentionally kneecap the games. They would say, why would we sabotage our own product? So that's the part that always gets me is when somebody in this situation, any situation where it looks bad

says, why would we ever do that? And there's an answer. And that answer might not be true, but there is an answer. And that's because Microsoft is the co-marketing people on this. I don't think that's necessarily the case. It could be or it could be.

I mean, there's many answers. But like, why would you add, like, you don't ask, like, why would I steal that money? Right? Because you're a thief. That's the answer I have. Don't ask me this question,

that I have an obvious answer that makes you look bad. Right. As opposed to expecting integrity. Yeah. Right. Yeah. You think I'm,

you think I'm without integrity? Yes. Because that's what I think. Prior to that, we decided to lock them at the same specs to avoid the debates and stuff, is the quote.

And when you say that, that implies that you are locking them. And at a state. Implying that there was another state prior. Yeah. So when you say that, no, we've never, it's like, I misspoke by using incredibly clear language

that I was not supposed to say. Yeah. Well, no. Who knows what the reality of it is at the end of the day. It's disappointing. That being said, I think it's like, hey,

we're making a co-op game. Let's push co-op. Oh, we can't get this running. But we don't have a lot of people that we can't get this running at these resolutions. Because you know some people want that. So let's not say anything. Oh, shit.

Now people are asking us about it. Oh, let's just say this. Because we don't want to make people think that we're making an inferior product to other products that run at 60 or at this resolution. Well, yeah. I think it's one of those things

that RubySoft was pushing one thing and then they didn't know that people wanted another. And I will say that the game looks fucking gorgeous. Yeah. I saw some footage and they appear to be using some kind of anti-aliasing

that hides a lot of the jaggies. The game is absolutely beautiful. And then you climb up a tower and the framerate shits itself. The game still plays the same so I'm not really interested. Like the fact that it plays the same and I don't know about that.

That combat is so much more different now that I'm going to do that. Did you watch the recent like gameplay that came out? It looks very similar. Well, there's no auto-kill. That's the most important thing I've ever seen in a game.

I guess the way I'll put it, like me personally, I was really happy with Freedom Cry because I got six hours of success and three hours of Assassin's Creed. You got just what you wanted. Just what I wanted. And I don't want 30 hours

of Assassin's Creed and now that it's being pushed as a multiplayer thing, I want it even less because I'm not into that co-op. I have to agree with Liam. The game was a lot less different

than I wanted. But if it was still like this nice solid Assassin's Creed game, I'd be fine. But now with all of this, it makes me feel gross. I don't like this. This situation feels bad.

It really just sucks because it's another franchise or another game where before the damn thing comes out, there's just so much poop everywhere. And you walk into our lunch party. Why is the fucking floor covered in shit? It's awful.

These guys are just, you know, get the game out without controversy. One Ubisoft marketing on suicide watch. My personal favorite aspect of this is so it's going to require a slight amount of backstory. Plague messaged me on Facebook a couple days ago about Dragon Age 3.

He said, is it weird that I just hate Dragon Age 3 now? Because of how bad, offensive, and how gross everything about Dragon Age 2 was and how you didn't like Dragon Age 2.

People just called you like a sexist or like a bigot or whatever. And that game was like one of the worst. And it was just this really offensive like portrayal of what people who own consoles want to play, right? And so do I just hate Dragon Age 3 now? Is that fair?

I'm like, no, it's not fair. I feel exactly the same, right? And then as a response to this Ubisoft stuff, Bioware came out and said, by the way, we've maximized the potential on all of our SKUs. We're going to be 1080 here and 900p here, etc. We would love to maximize the potential

of every platform to the utter fullest. And that has made me want to get Dragon Age 3. That's a bit extreme. Yes, I know, but it's a performance thing. I feel... That's still the game that I walked into Pax and I saw the thing that said, no photos, please.

And I laughed my ass off. I'm not going to. Or might, probably not. No, you're going to. But I'm saying that it's like... No, Pat, you're gonna. We know you. Grossness of this Ubisoft,

because it's newer, is causing other companies to deflect old grossness in this very petty way. And that's hilarious. Well, the flip side that I was going to go into right after was Bethesda's version of this, where they're like, okay, look, evil within PC.

Oh, don't even. So... Ask us when we're close to the release. Ask us. It's like coming out tomorrow. No, no, no, no. You can fuck with it. You right?

You can knock that off the 60s. Let's. But we don't recommend this. That tracked the evil within system requirements shenanigans, where they put out recommended system requirements, which were really high. They were really high. They recommended a four gigabyte video card,

which I have, and 1.26% of Steam users have, but 99% of Steam users don't. And when asked for minimum requirements, which is like a standby in a PC world, so that you know when to buy it, they said, no, you should have these recommended ones.

We're not going to put out minimum requirements. Yeah. Well, they said it runs on lower video cards, but I can't guarantee you. We can't guarantee you. We can't guarantee you'll have fun. No, shut up. What does it fucking run on?

And after like two weeks, and like Durante was assling them over the shit, it's like they finally put out minimum requirements, which seemed reasonable. But then just like, oh, it's apparently locked at 30 frames a second, but it's not, though, because that's the thing is,

first it was like, okay, we're not going to say anything about the low end. But we're going to release a console debug command to force the FPS to 60, but we don't know what will happen. Yeah. And Dead Rising 3 is any view. That game is really poorly optimized.

It's a really bad PC port, and it runs okay if you lock it to 30. But if you put it up to 60, the game crashes like nobody's business. The other thing you can do is remove the letterboxing. Also through a debug command. Through a debug command as well. Oh, I don't know if I like that.

But it's, again, it's like, you can do this, you can fucks with it. We don't know what's going to happen. We can't say we recommend it. Exactly. So because I'm such a stupid, huge fan of Shinji Mikami, and I'm an idiot, I already bought both of them on the PS4 and PC.

I fully expect that game to run like shit on the PC. Yeah. To run like complete fucking garbage. As usual, Japanese games don't run good on your PC 90% of the time. Here's the fun part. This is an outsourced PC developer.

Well, as for the usual, that's the thing. It's also a special case for Evil Within, because how many times has a Japanese developer got their hands on an American-made engine that was never that great to begin with? Working with an American publisher, I think, is the bigger thing.

Well, I mean, Japanese developers have really started using Unreal in the last year or so. But before that, it was really rough everywhere. You saw Unreal 3 being used in Japanese games. And it's software, whatever. 5 Engine 5. It's been used in what, two games before this? Rage.

Rage and Wolfenstein. Sure. And this is like a Japanese developer. A new Japanese developer, no less. It has no game to itself. So here's where ID Tech 5 gets really messed up. Carmack invented ID Tech 5 for a single reason. He said that every game should be 60 frames a second,

and you should be able to make any compromise on the fly to get that. So ID Tech 5's a whole deal is that it will lower the resolution dynamically to get you 60 FPS, no matter what's happening. And the first thing Tango did when they got this engine, which Bethesda tells people to use because they have it, even though Carmack no longer works there,

was we're going to lock it to 30. So that, you know. So 30, and we want the resolution to be constant. Which, no, that's not what that engine is for. Engine is so that your resolution flies all over the place so your frame rate can stay solid. It's going to be a mess. Great game.

Yeah, supposedly game's quite good. Can't wait. There's only like what? I think the embargo for reviews ends tonight for us. But a bunch of people were able to buy a copy. They all gave it like eight seconds. If I play this game on PC with the PC that I have, and this game runs like anything less than ideally,

then this is a disaster. What's ideal? Completely, 100 million percent locked 30 with like downscaling. Sorry, down sampling. Down sampling. And so that it looks like a movie. Like perfect.

You know, image quality wise. Yeah, sure. Right? Because if I can't do that, then the average person who bought that game on PC is going to have a real bad time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That being said, Wolfenstein apparently ran just fine.

Except for some people who couldn't get the frame rate to stabilize, which meant the game speed would go up and down all the time. It's funny because it just kind of reminds me about how like that affects gameplay sometimes. Because I was just thinking about the Dark Souls thing, where it's like your invincibility or your iframes change depending on your frame rate.

Well, here's the durability of your fucking weapon. Here's the durability thing that I did not know about. And somebody messaged me about, and to warn you for the next time we go back to play Dark Souls, is the frame rate causes, like it was clearly designed for like 25, 30 frames a second. So remember sometimes when you're playing and all of a sudden your weapon's about to break.

Yeah. And I'm like, oh, you've been hitting the walls too much. No. If you hit an enemy while they're dead. Yeah. Someone messaged me and said those. It registers you as hitting them like 40 times in a row. Yes.

Someone messaged me and said those extra swings are hurting your durability when they're dead. By a dramatic delay. Damn it. That's crazy. And don't tie game logic to your frame rate. Don't, god damn it. It's usually, no, it's dude, it's not something they account for.

It's something they don't account for. Yes. So don't. No. Don't account for it. They programmed it in such a way that it just happens. And they have to fix it because it's a bug. Well, fine.

So don't have your game or your engine tie any time or gameplay elements to its frame rate. That's the best way to do it. Yes, it is. You should have fixed it. That's why Durante put out that fantastic letter about arbitrary resolutions and shit like that. Now, that guy's a genius.

Now, when it comes to info coming out in Dark Souls, what's cool is from Soft, basically saying that, yeah, we've been keeping track of which bosses are the fucking hardest. And so far, so far, the list is pretty much all DLC bosses. Of course. And it sounds like the top of that list is the Fume Knight. Of course. So that's really funny. It said something like, what was the fucking number?

Like high 70s to 80s, percentage of fights end with you died. Oh, wow. I guess Fume Knight. Versus some of the bosses in the main game where it's like, oh, they can kill you? Really? Oh, congregation. That's the worst. Yeah.

And surprisingly, one of the lowest ones in the like low 30s, I think percentage-wise, was the Rune Sentinels. Apparently, despite that being like a blocker, it actually isn't because most people probably just go in with summons. Yeah. No, here's why. Because if you go in as a summon, it counts. That's what I bet it is.

And people hang out there because there's always people fighting them. I fought the Rune Sentinels like a hundred times and never died because I was a summon and I held people beat him. That's what I assume that is. Maybe. Maybe. I imagine the data is skewed. That's just a guess.

Well, who knows. Yeah, exactly. But either way, the DLC bosses at the top is an important thing. It would be fantastic to see like at the end of whatever the last thing in this game is a nice little telltale breakdown screen. Exactly. That would be fun. Did you find the usurper, you know, like whatever the breakdown is?

Hope for Bloodborne. Yeah, maybe, man. Maybe. No, Bloodborne would never have that. That's too gamey. No, I know. I think it will not as well. But I can say Hope for Bloodborne.

And as far as cool ideas that aren't getting used to go, there was a nice little video that popped up about a wolf. I don't know if you guys saw it. It had a monster concept that they're not going to be using for now. But basically the thing is there's three monsters we've only seen the two so far. And there's a third one and they're definitely planning more with DLC, but they kind of showed off. Here's something that we had for the game that just didn't work out.

It was a drawing of like basically a dune worm, a sand worm. Oh, cool. It was a fucking giant monster worm. It's called a velvet worm. And the deal with it was it was of course a fucking worm so it would wriggle around all obstacles and all things and just climb over every terrain and furthermore it would be like a stealth thing so you could borrow and theoretically just come up underneath dudes and fucking...

How long was it meant to be? The drawing you couldn't get a sense of scale, but it was a giant worm. So that was one of the things they had going and they're like, well, it was too hard to come up with the pathing logic for making a monster worm, you know what I mean? That collides with you and other monsters dynamically? Yeah, they just couldn't get that going and that's a bit sad, but they're like, but we took some of the best ideas for his abilities and we moved it into other elements. That's such a shame, but I...

And someone is very likely some kind of cat slash bat stealth monster. You're really a type thing, you know? I'm still hoping for that humanoid sized one, man. That would be the best DLC ever. That would be the first DLC ever. Yeah, exactly. It'll be the first DLC one. You're just a superhuman.

You're the private tour. But yeah, no, it's fine. And of course, whatever that third thing is going to be, if you kind of look at it, it's like you've got the flying Kraken. The Kraken. You've got the Goliath. The fire, electricity. So third one, probably water based, maybe something along those lines.

I'm saying bigger than the Goliath. Small cat slash bat stealth thing. Like prowling, like hunting kind of thing. You have brute force, you have long range, so the last one is stealth. Like just if you think about the Colossae, right, that's a decent set of 16 archetypes you can go with. Yeah. Well, I think it's much simpler than that.

I'm thinking Fighter Mage Rogue. Yeah, sure. Yeah, okay. And the first two hit those archetypes perfectly. Yeah, and I'm thinking like Chinchilla Mosquito. Yeah, yeah, that'd be cool. Oh. It's a fucking little Mosquito.

You can't stop that. And annoying. You can't stop it. It makes a fucking buzzing sound. Lay eggs. You look like Mosquitoes in your house right now. No. You look pissed off.

No, no, no. Okay. Get ready for Japanese Mosquitoes. No. They're bigger than you. I said no. Okay. Well, you get ready.

You can not get ready for them at the moment. He put the warning out, but you know, if you don't bring your mace, you're going to die. Also, I would like Japanese Hornets will just cause the cops to come. I don't know if you guys can hear this in the podcast, but we're on fire right now. We are on fire. Japanese Hornets can kick you out of your house. We decided to do the fire challenge.

Yeah. Those Hornets spit acid. They do. That's horse shit. They do. Get your mace ready. Yeah. I ain't going out there.

All right. Well, well, if you're not ready to fight the monsters in real life, perhaps you're ready to fight them on your 3DS. Oh, thank you, Ing. Thank you. How about that Samus? Fucking. That's pretty cool.

So you're talking about the fucking monster hunter, like a collaboration shit? Yeah. The most important bit of that news is that it's Samus, and that hopefully means more Samus is coming around the corner. Yeah. Because why push a character that? Well, I was going to say she was also in Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors versus for 3DS. Really?

Yeah. Along with Link. It means nothing. It means nothing. I kind of went like, aww. I love how her bogey is sister Gennar. You know how to fucking pull me? Yeah.

The real fucking fuck you about this is when Sega was asked why they chose Sonic for their collaboration character, they're like, we could have gone with a bunch of other boy cooler characters, but Sonic's big in the West too. Sonic's the right one to pick. I mean, like. Not for Monster Hunter. Nobody looks that weird. That's fine, Sonic.

It's so weird looking. Not that cool. It should have been. It should have been. It doesn't fit. It could have been Kane from, like, that's that same Ryzen Sonic in Soul Calibur. That is the shittiest pick ever. Oh, that would be great.

You thought hard on how to make the shittiest pick ever and you picked a binary domain character. It should have been Ula-la. Yeah, sure. It could have been whoever. Hey, speaking of Sega, did you watch Sega Girls, the quote unquote anime? Because me and Pat and Matt sat down and watched it. Oh dude. We had a good chuckle.

Oh dude. What is that? It's like a themed high school and it's a fuckin' riot. And every character is based on a character? I'll tell you. You'll see. But it's a riot. That's pretty good.

It's like one of those ten minute deals. That's pretty good. Okay. But like, man, Pat liked it. So you know it's so cute. Right. It's no peach girl, but it'll do the trick this season. Yeah.

Man, I get to go to fuckin' Japan in the utter height of Monster Hunter season. Yeah. But can't play it. Well, I mean, if you really wanted to, you could. Well, I mean. Well then, I guess you don't really want to play Monster Hunter. I will find a kiosk and get hands on that new 20s though. Yeah, sure.

I'll tell you how the nub feels. I've been reading a lot and it's just like, same as the last one. Hopefully it's not, my description isn't as porny as some of the weird descriptions about that nub have been. Some of them are really weird. They've been really porny. Yeah. It's weird.

Don't go there. IGN and primarily it's like, man, you are fuckin' this thing. That's like, okay. This nub is soft, silky, and I just glide right over it. It's a dream to touch. With my dick. It's like, wow. Wow.

Well, speaking of dream controllers and such, sounds like the Gamecube converter that was initially announced to come out and work for all games. Any game that supports it. Any game that supports it will be your pro controller. Well, the wording was, yeah, all whatever. It was a weird wording statement, but it implied that you would use it with a bunch of shit. Which frankly didn't make sense anyway because it was shy a button. Yeah.

I'm missing a button. Does it not add up? Yeah. That's a typo. And then they're like, oops, sorry, we meant only Smash 4. I'm willing to bet that was a typo or something, or like just someone miswrote that. I'm not sure why you would want to use the Gamecube controller for anything but Smash over the pro controller.

It's amazing. So, as we just stated, it's missing a button, so it wouldn't even work. Well, my mind immediately went to Virtual Console. That's what I was thinking. Yeah. Well, there's no Gamecube Virtual Console games. Well, the one that I immediately shot to was, well, no, but all Virtual Console games. Anyway, besides the point, the one that I immediately shot to was Wii games.

Because a lot of Wii games support games. Yeah, that's true. And it's kind of a bummer to not get that. Because we were talking about it a while ago, like I wonder if it'll support it. It seemed like a no-brainer, but evidently not. And hopefully in a firmware, I think they'll fix that. Yeah, and Nintendo's proven they're willing to make a fucking piece of plastic and sell it to you for one game only.

Yeah. Like, GB, Pokemon, Colosseum, fucking, not Colosseum, Pokemon Stadium. Oh, the Gameboy adapter thing that never got used. Like, never used on anything else. Yep. They made it and fucking sold it, and that was it, man. You're like, they're going to eventually make it. No.

No. Done. Anyway, so that's going to be going on or whatever. Besides that with Smash as well, some dudes were data mining, of course they were. Of course they should be. Data mining at all. Yeah, and they got the unused announcer stuff. There's some of it that you don't even have to data mine for.

It's just there. It's just there. You can listen to it in the gallery, like him saying special Smash. Okay, because yeah, you mentioned those earlier. Some of it's just there. But then some of the ones that I only got was, yeah, was 8 Man Melee. 8 Man, what a fucking shit. Like, I don't actually want to play 8 Man Smash.

He kept saying you wanted Melee back. So here you go. No, not here you go, because it's an actual game. Okay, because that says Melee. Yeah, I was sure. Well, I think he meant to say Smash, but yeah. Cruel Melee. Full Smash, yeah.

No, no, Cruel Melee, back in the day, had up to 8, I think it was 6, but anyway. It was more than the standard corner. In Brawl as well, it was more than the standard corner. Yeah. Of independent characters. Fighting a polygon team. Yeah. People.

Exactly. So, like, you've kind of felt like what that was like before, but with human players. I don't know if I want that with human players. Like, so how does this stuff work? If I went online and found 7 Bowser's to fight against, I wouldn't have a good time. I don't have a good time. I don't have a good time. I don't have a good time once.

So was this cut out or is it planned for the future? No, it was just. Or is it cut out and planned for the future? It was, they told the guy to say it and he said it into the mic and they recorded it. And that's all there is. So, yeah. Maybe it's coming. Maybe it's not.

The Wii version. It's probably not coming. You know, some of the other stuff. Event match. You think so, maybe? Fucking hope not. I'm just. That's one of my biggest disappointments, actually, because that was like, that was the

one thing that this match lacks that the other ones have, which is like a really guided, focused kind of single player event. Yeah. Where it's like, do this. Do that. You know, very specifically. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That doesn't exist in these ones.

So, I want event match or that rumored tower of smash mode to come in the Wii version. I'm still really glad about Smash. Just everyone's like really salty about MacBee and the best and he's like unbalanced. I'm like, so? He's not the best. No, he's the best. And he's not unbalanced. Just on Final Destination, he's like vanilla.

Vanilla Ken. He's better than Vanilla Ken. Because Vanilla Ken sucked. It was just annoying to run into a constant. Exactly. Like he's better than Vanilla Ken, like closer to Vanilla Sagat and when he's on Final Destination. The point being is that there's no other character that deserves that hatred more. Oh yeah.

Like if there's one character that people would be salty about, like I'm glad it's Matt. I'm glad. Little Mac and Cheese, man. Little Mac and Cheese. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am glad, but he kind of spoils the online because they spoiled the online by making it FD only. So, play with your friends.

So, really, they spoiled the first place. Well, did you see that fucking message? Which? That fucking message that the guy got? That was like, you have been banned or you've been kicked, whatever, from this game for targeting the same player. Yeah. Well, this was something they announced ahead of time.

What? This specific thing. Yeah, I heard about that. For chasing one guy around. For constantly targeting the same player. Only. You have been kicked out of this game. And for fun?

It would have to be. Well, for Glory has multi, over two players. It's two for two, right? I think you can do four players. That's absurd. I haven't tried. I've only played one of you ones. Yeah, I know.

I do it on friends with FGC, I do it on Facebook, had that thing on his wall, and I was like, wait, is this real? It's real, yeah. And everyone just freaking out, like, this is a joke if Nintendo wanted to do anything. They said this before it came out, too. Yeah. Was it a part of? If you target players, you will get banned.

They said that, leading up to it. I know, what a stupid thing to ban. But you have to. If there's more than one person in the match, you have to fight the best player all the time and ignore the weaker player so that you hopefully eliminate the player that could be better than you. You know, if I'm crazy for saying only Final Estonation is a blatant misunderstanding of competitive smash, then I'm not crazy for saying that this is a blatant misunderstanding.

No, one competitive step forward, eight competitive steps back. No, no competitive steps back. In this case, zero competitive steps back. If you're playing online and it's none forward. If it's DDT versus Smash and Little Mac, and DDT gets a stock on one of you, you attack DDT until the end of the match. Because he's the stronger player. So is this for glory or for fun?

No, I don't know. Because if it's in for fun, then it doesn't matter. No, because you're banned. No, I don't know. I don't know which mode. If it's for good and for fun, then it's not that bad because it's just for fun. Why are you charging this one? But it still matters because you still shouldn't do that.

That's fucking competitive trick. But you're not in the competitive mode. No, I know. It doesn't matter. But you shouldn't be banned for playing the game. No, stop, no, stop. Sacrifice all things, play the game the way you want. What are we fighting against, you guys?

What are you fighting for? Play the game the way you want, but not this way. Not that way. I'll ban you. Well, I guess if you want to play a game online, play Healthmax instead. Or Smash. Or Melee through Dolphin and Warp Tube. What the hell is that?

Well, you're not going to get banned for fucking using corner traps and all that. Sure, but you can get banned for another variety of reasons. No, you can't. I just find recommending one game is completely different over another. It's a joke. The alternative is to get up in Sacrifice face, yell at him, and then he calls you a child. Yeah, that's true. Could you imagine Mario Kart?

Like, you've been fucking banned for using items on one person. Yeah, because that can happen. You can target somebody. No, no, but I mean, that can just happen. Yeah, Mario Kart, the game where they staunchly refuse to fix bugs that people were abusing until people screamed at them for months and then they finally did. And it's fucking absurd. No, honestly, the For Glory original thing about the stage, you had your point there.

It's not the right. It's not balanced. It's an attempt, but they misunderstood it. And that this... I don't even think it's a misunderstanding. It's just like, what do we do? Oh, this is the right solution without really thinking it. But I don't even know.

How did that happen? Because they... How did that happen? They clearly heard the people saying, we want this. Like a competitive setup. We want you guys to pay attention to this. And they took it, but it's just the fact that all this shit gets lost in translation and has to go...

It's like Seth Kalyan talking to Capcom Japan. Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? And you just have to go through fucking eight dogs' ears before you get to the final... No, here's what happened. Here's what happened. They heard all this stuff and they put it all in and they played some test matches and they got focused tests or somebody told them.

It really sucks that everybody was beating on me the whole match and then I died really early and I didn't have a chance to play. And they said, oh, we can't have that. That's awful. It'll go in and it'll suck. Oh, and then they overdid the response to that. Yeah. Just Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

I love them. I fucking love them. Could you imagine like a local play version of that? Just kicks you out of the fucking game, man. Yeah, that exists. Because children do that. Well, you keep using this character. I'm going home.

I'm going home. I can't imagine that. I can't imagine that. The closest thing is getting into a fight. Well... You know, exactly. Like just best friends brawl cancels. Stop using can.

Stop using can. It wouldn't work. Um, bros are cheap. Just ban you from the house. If you want to send us some letters about how you got banned for trying to play Smash Bros. Oh, please do. You can send them to superbestfriendcast at gmail.com. Wait, what was that?

Super best friendcast at gmail.com. Whoa. Never changes. Doesn't change. Is that pronounced gamailer? Yep. So we're gonna go down the list starting with... It's a hard G because the inventor of the fucking...

It's pronounced cross. It's pronounced jogging. I believe it's a soft J. What are you telling me about? You just run. What game were you telling me about this? Yeah, a game that came out that I played that was quite good with sticks, right? Oh, yeah.

I forgot I played a little bit of that. Yeah, you played that too. It's pretty good. On the title screen of the PS4 version, it says in English text, press cross. Press, like, C-R-O-S-S-E. Yeah, exactly. Wow. How'd that get through?

Which the inventor of the PlayStation controller has gone on record saying it's X. You know, like, it's okay, but it's weird. It's X circle, square, and triangle. That game was... Science Studios are from some weird European countries, so I don't know. France. Yeah, that's a weird European country. Yeah, that's the one.

We got a question from Phil from North Carolina. This is all caps, that title. He sends a giant long question, and I'm going to sum it up nice and quick. Basically, he participated in a local tourney to win a 3DS XL for Smash Brothers. Are you serious? Which Smash Bros? Smash 4. Okay.

To win a 3DS. To win a 3DS, XL. Okay. And the finals were in NYC, you went a trip to the... It's like a big Nintendo thing. Yeah. And so I made it to the second round, and apparently, so did two kids from the same family as well. Not only that, but they both made it to the same round as me.

And I'm totally new to this FGC tournament sort of setting, but doesn't this seem like a red flag to anyone? I lost the round to one of the brothers, and then looking at the final score, the other brother was in worse place. But he goes on to basically complain that two brothers that were participating both in the same family, both made it to the finals along with him, and that felt like an unfair thing. As long as they fight each other legit when they are seated against each other, no. The father was there with them, and everyone let this happen, and everyone was okay with it. So he's basically asking, does that seem like a red flag to you? What the fuck?

This seems like bullshit. No. The reason why that is normal for all fighting games ever. The reason why no one was reacting to this, and in any way, dude, is because it's totally fine. They're not the same person. They're competing. I remember there was some EVO, like three years ago, some guy did this big long complaint saying, I went to my pools and I was matched up with all my friends that I fought a million times in my hometown.

What the fuck, EVO, get your shit. It was like, I was thinking about the match. That's different because you are supposed to be seated by location, so that makes a difference. It's the same thing as I think this is fishy, I'm going to complain. I can get into the mindset that makes you think this, and it's the mindset of, I joined the tournament, not to win the tournament, I joined the tournament because I want to win a 3DS. And by letting the two brothers get into the same bracket, that family now has two chances to win the prize. I see how that works.

No, but no, it's fair at all. The two brothers entered to win, and the winner gets a prize. If you don't get how all this, I want to almost say ghettoization, but this grouping and clique stuff works, a really good way to get that is the Smash documentary actually will give you a fucking run down all the way through. But that is the norm for fighting games. And I just want to bring up the fact that Evo slash Battle by the Bay was founded by twins, Tony and Tommy Cannon, and they would play absolutely separate from each other in everything, and it doesn't matter if your family, you're not the same person. The only time that it matters is if you and your bro get to the finals and collude.

Yeah, that's collusion, that's the separate thing. Don't collude, as long as you don't collude, everything's fine. Because if they're both kids, they're just going to both play that 3DS, like switch it off to each other, so that it essentially still gets in. Blame your parents for not having more kids. Hey, William gang, this one comes from Craig. I've been a cook for the past 10 years, and I've used some unusual terminology in the kitchen. A few examples being, in the weeds, or weeded, means you're swamped with orders and you need help. It's got English.

That sounds really British. We also have some small, open, broiler ovens called Salamanders, so if we need a few seconds in there, we say give it some Sally love. That sounds British. Yeah, see? I was just wondering if you guys had any odd phrases or jargon in your jobs in the gaming industry that wouldn't make much sense to people who aren't in that field of work. Pretty much everything you say in the gaming industry makes no sense. Probably the one that jumps out the closest, because I remember talking to my parents. I said it, and they said, what the fuck are you talking about?

And I explained it, and they still didn't get it. And it's the word jank. Jank requires dedicated explanation. Especially when I say the phrase, oh, it's that Eastern Euro jank. This is bad. No, it's a very specific type of bad. It's a particular type. And in testing, like I'm sure we've all said it once, but you get a new build, and it crashes, and the game fucks up, and they're going to go ship it.

Yeah. I know when a game is doing really poorly, you go, oh, just ship it. It's fine. Don't ship it. Another one from testing is when you say bug it, it doesn't mean there's a bug. It means there's a problem. Yes. It doesn't mean there's a glitch. It doesn't mean there's a programming glitch. It doesn't mean anything. And glitch doesn't mean anything.

You know what I'm saying? To the people who don't get that, it just means there's something wrong. An issue that needs addressing. The box has the wrong text, bug it. Yeah, as you say. One for me that I think... Yeah, I got work. Yeah, I got work. I think...

That means you did bad work. Keep it up. Keep it up means you've been doing nothing. And he did actually does sometimes because he did say that sarcastically a couple of times to people that knew they didn't work. Yeah. So the term for me, I think that is like weird to anyone outside the industry, is a soak test. A soak test. That's a good one.

A smoke test is a good one. Yeah, a smoke test works in IT in general as well because it's just... If you have to burn any kind of disc, you pop it in to see if it fucking smokes the system. Does it start lighting a fire? No, then it's good to go. And a soak test is when you give it a little more time in the oven. Yeah, a soak test is basically like you let the game... You sit on the post screen or in the middle of a boss fight or anywhere that it might have a memory leak or something that'll blow up overnight.

You let it soak in the game until the next day. You hope you don't come back to a crash zone. Yes, exactly. Or someone who fucking came and turned your shit off overnight trying to be environmentally conscious. Fucking with your test even though you have paper. It's on for a reason. That's why you have to make notes and put it on all your screens. Don't touch my shit.

Don't fucking touch. You're not going to save the environment by fucking up my work. I got paid to make this happen. Because you'll just have to do it again. Yep. It's going to take longer. Okay. I'll go choke at you right now.

We got one coming in from Jacob and he says long time fan. With that being said, what the fuck is the difference between a persona and a stand? As someone who's not familiar with either, they sound really similar. They're similar. Now, bonus points if only Matt or Liam answer. As they seem to probably have the least experience with these franchises. Or at least based on conversation. So I want you guys to take a crack at what you think the difference between a stand and a persona is.

Liam says what he thinks one is and I'll say what I think the other one is. Because I find that amusing. A persona is like, I don't know about stands that much. But a persona is like a reflection of your actual self. And a stand is, I don't fucking know. A stand? I don't fucking know. A bloodline and it manifests into like...

A stand is just ham on energy that fucking does whatever. Yeah. They're exactly the same fucking thing. One's in JoJo and the other's owned by Atlas. But the actuality of what they are though in terms of how they manifest is completely different. Because the world of SMT slash persona is that the inner psyche of mankind can become manifested. Yeah, it's a union idea. It's like the other side of all of human unconscious.

Your human unconscious manifested in this specific way tailored to yourself. Yeah, and to avoid spoiling anything for anybody as far as JoJo goes, stands are just old world magic in the same way that the mask is and ham on is and stuff like that. It has nothing to do with those. It's just magic. But it's like that. Yes, exactly. They're functionally identical.

Functionally, yes. Well, fucking, there's a little dude scryed this anime and has them as well. They're both cultures. The only thing about persona... Yeah, Shaman Kings. The only thing about persona that's different from stands is that depending on what persona game you're playing, you may or may not be able to use your persona outside of some mystical circumstance, such as a TV world or Tartarus, unless you can.

Or being over the age of 20. Well, that's a non-canon anime spin-off. Fuck that. That's used to explain why Akihiko no longer has a persona. So do you want to believe that shit? Fuck that garbage forever. Yeah, exactly. No one remembers Shaman Kings.

Personas are like Santa Claus, really. Okay, so the profit of Yukiko... They just go away when you hit 20. The profit of Yukiko, Negi980, says, my dear best friend, Saibatsu, if you suddenly gained access to the internet in the future for one hour, what would you look up? Porn.

Sports winning. Sports Almanac. Sports Almanac. Biff. Biff, man. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. First, the Almanac Slash lottery winnings. Second, space porn.

Space porn. Like creepy future porn. Just to see what's up. I don't want the money. I'm not going to cheat my way to money. That's bullshit. You're not cheating anyone. But you're cheating.

You're getting an unfair advantage. Cheating reality? I've gone out of time. A hugely unfair advantage. Lose losing out. Sorry. In this reality that's being altered. The other person who's actually taking a fair shot.

You're just creating another reality. They don't deserve it. It's the reality. Man. They don't deserve unfair advantage. Justify being a jerk. It's not unfair if you're creating a new reality because you've accessed the future.

But if I know, if I get to go to fucking Lotto Quebec and see the number, and then come back and just put the number in, I've got an unfair advantage. That's true. But you time travel. So that technically never happened. It never even happened in that number.

Dude, it's the same thing. So if you, if you, if you. If I walk into Lotto Quebec on a vacation day and they forgot to lock the doors, it's effectively the exact same thing. That's bullshit. Because no, it's effectively the same thing. That's happening within our timeline.

But it's outside of your timeline. You are massively full of shit. I think Matt agrees. Liam, Liam, Liam. Here's the difference. If you, if you happen to use. There's no effective difference. If you, if you take advantage of regular means

or just happen to like, you have an unfair advantage and there are laws against that and that's against the law. And it's clearly unethical to like your buddy, your buddy who works a lot in Quebec to tell you the numbers. Okay.

There's no time laws though. Okay. There's neither, there are no time laws and there are no time ethics, my friend. I think you guys are missing the crux of the point of what I'm trying to say, which I would rather work for my money than just get it.

Oh, you're one of those people. If you're missing the crux of my. And the crux of my point is if you get shoved into like a looper time future, that's not your world. Do what the fuck you want. Go nuts. If you're sitting next to a friend,

you're both doing a test at school and you look for the answer in the future and your friend worked for it. Do you think that's okay? Do you think you feel like a big man? Does anyone, no. I don't care. I would ask for you do if you like your big man.

If I'm looking over his shoulder into a portal into the future, then yes, I do. Honestly, if I could look into the future because I care about it so much, I would just look up like really shitty stuff in video games and bring them back to the appropriate people to fix those problems.

Yeah, the real answer is you go and see how you died and then you taste death to prevent it. You know how I can prevent it? By being rich as fuck. You don't think you can get it back? Yes, exactly. And as Pat instantly dies crushed by money. Great, awesome.

And it's all left to your sister. I'd rather, okay. There you go. She's older than me though. Maybe you're dead. I'd rather die rich than live poor. Instantly. We got one coming in.

No, seriously, I'm stealing from people in the future. No, that's the solution. That's the solution. Steal from people in the future. You're getting less ethical. No, because they won't exist when you come back. No, that's true, I agree with that. You can steal from someone in the future.

But what will happen is then you go back to the past with the money and then no, but then they suddenly in the timeline just lose a bunch of money for no reason. No, because as soon as you travel forward in time, the timeline spreads. How are you going to steal it anyway? With a gun.

Oh, great. That would go perfectly in the future. I'm sure your 20th century gun will be very scary to the future people. Have we not seen Time Cop? Why are you not seeing Time Cop? He pulls out the Oozies in the Old West and picks up the gold.

Come on. That's what there is, Time Laws, because then they make that police force to say, no, you can't go back to the 1920s and make tons of money. That's all fair. So Time Cop says no. I feel like the problem with Time Laws

is there has to be a whole squadron of guys dedicated to going back in time and stopping people from killing Hitler. There's that too. Every time you try to go back in time to kill Hitler, you make it worse. You're way worse. You don't know what will happen.

There's an episode of misfits where it got really out of control. I read alerts about that. That didn't work out. There's a whole arc of Marvel where that's the whole thing too. The new fucking Hitler is being born. Do you kill him?

And other things you just fucking watched. But either way, there's no Time Laws, but there's no Time Ethics. There are Time Ethics. Come on. Don't sleep with your grandma. Anything you do in a future timeline didn't happen. But it did and you know it.

No, it might. It was a spiral timeline. It wasn't a circular timeline. It didn't happen. You created a multiverse. You branched off. And does it happen in that one? But it was supposed to happen in that one.

What happened in that one? That's my point. You still did an unethical thing. It happened at some time. New plan. New plan. Being unethical when there's nobody on the bat. If there's no one.

You don't understand the principle of ethics, my friend. Did you not spend years of going to church and just miss the point completely? I know. No. It's because I am ethical. Ethics lie on our own shoulders.

In order to make sure that everyone and everything in my reality is fine and fair and balanced and good. Hey, let's you go into a time bubble caused by the causality loop of you time traveling. This is an episode of Deep Space Nine. Okay. Anything you do there goes

because the instant you leave that causality loop will stop and those people will never have lived. So just rob them. Also, Liam, new plan. I'm robbing your descendants. Why? No, go rob your descendants.

No, his descendants. Oh, that still means... I mean, it's just your money, so... Yeah. This is lying. Are there dream ethics, Liam, when you dream? No, because dreams actually don't happen.

Neither does the timeline if I stop it. Boom! That's what I'm trying to say. You know how I can stop it? If I rob your descendants in the future, I can stop that from happening to them by firing you when I get back. But, like...

That timeline creates another timeline. You don't have any money about those people. Exactly. But then you get nothing. No. As long as I have it. No, because then you fire me and your money just disappears. See, this is why we should write a time travel.

Yeah, no, if you fired him, then... The money would just disappear. No, because it's from a different timeline. No, it's not. No. Because you know it happened. No. Oh, listen to Mr. I'm so great,

because I'm my own grandpa. I'm not gonna... No. No. Yes, you would. And if he didn't do that, he wouldn't have been the most important person in the universe. So sometimes it's important to break those non-existence boundaries.

Okay, so I think the point here is... You're your girlfriend's own father. Yeah. I think the point here is that we should... That sounds really bad. Don't say that. Well, we've discussed it, and it's possible considering your ethics.

Apparently there is no ethics. At time morals. I'm not gonna go time traveling. That's not it. I think we should all just make a truce to not time travel. I will time travel forward, not backwards. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's my deal. That's my deal. All right. Okay. Okay, fine. I have it. Oh, Jesus Christ. There you go.

It won't be lottery numbers. It won't be... It won't be... What do you call it? Your grandma. Oh, my God. What? In the future?

You never know what future technology... It won't be lottery numbers. Where your grandma would be. I'll just go look at, hey, what's been going on the past 30 years or whatever, and just invest in a company. Liam, did you see Hot Tub Time Machine? No.

Okay. You should. It's pretty good. You should discuss. Sure. In terms of these things. I haven't seen it. All right.

Well, then what? Like, if you happen to walk out into the future and see where some guy struck oil, and you go back to the past, and you go strike oil there first. Well, yeah. Is that okay? Or is that not okay? No, it's not okay. What about...

Because you still have an unfair advantage, no matter what it is. But everyone has unfair advantages. You're taller than me. So? Should I chop your legs off of the meat? But I don't make advantage of my height. You sure do. You reach things I can't reach.

But he didn't make up a conscious decision to be tall. He just ate what he was told. Exactly. Like, I just... And that guy that's going to stumble across that oil, happened to be born and raised in a location that was nearer to the oil than me. He had an unfair advantage. Okay.

But he chooses that unfair advantage. You are choosing an unfair advantage. So, clearly I found the solution here. You're saying I would love to be able to pause that Daigo match in every frame and fix it. I would love to! And that is an objective unfair advantage over Daigo. I drew about that every day! About having the fucking panda item.

Yeah, but it's not super power. Imagine he said that to you and we, and that's an unfair advantage. Okay. If you have the superpower to do any of this, then it's fair game. Because if you're born the superpower, you can't control it. Okay, wait. Solution. Me and Woli will have a time travel trip and you guys can go on a different time travel trip.

We're going to look at space. We just won't tell you. What do you think quote unquote Japan is? Oh yeah, you did travel through time to get there. The weirdest fucking thing coming back, dude. We had three breakfasts. We had three mornings. We woke up in the morning, got on the plane, got breakfast on the plane,

because it was morning and then here it was morning. Man, I must have been a living knight. It was the worst. It was the worst. When I come back from Stargate, when I come back from Japan, I'm going to wake up at 10, go to the airport for two. Then I'm going to travel for 20 something hours and get back home for dinner. On the same day.

That's exactly right. That's time travel. That's time travel. I was on the plane at 11 a.m. and 13 hours later, I was here at 2 p.m. It's also summer here now. I have something that will blow your mind. Please. We're all time traveling.

We generally are. Did you know that the future is nap? No, it's nap. Never nail it. The future is a nap. Damn. SNK was writer than they knew. Shit's fucked.

The future is a nap. They're smarter than they are. All right. God. That's a good question. It was a good question. Thanks, man. What was the question?

If you could travel, if you could see in a time. Yeah, okay. Next question. Thanks very much, person. We got one from Edward. He wants to know, when you nerds were discussing Smash 3DS, I was disappointed that you didn't mention the ultra-cool credits where you fight the names of the creators and then reveal an awesome screenshot.

What other types of interactive credits can you think of that you thought was really cool? The ones in all Smash games that previously were shooter stages usually. Now this. This one's cool. Maybe I'm an asshole, but I think the best credits ever are the ones that I press start and brings me to the main menu. I like the Tatsunoko credits because you get to play with Doronjo on the bike and collect the letters.

That's cool. That was fun. The ones in Velocity 2 extra fun. You'll see when you get them. Sure. That's per se. It's like in Tekken 5 where you had that loading game where you played the game, booted up. Credits in general are the ones that let you speed the credits up by moving the control

stick and speed it down. Or fucking slow backwards if you want to find the name. Slow backwards. Board of Shadow is a really good one where you're able to just slow down and speed up everything. You can go. Because you know what? A feature like that is required in all Ubisoft games.

Where's credits of all time? Where's credits of all time? It goes to Assassin's Creed Revelation. It's not even. It's not even. It's not even. No, it's not even. Okay.

Ghost Recon beats it. Ghost Recon beats it. Yeah. Advanced mode fighter. The ones that I really like actually. I can't remember which one it is because there's like seven games now but one of the Project Diva games, the credits are like a platformer little like action thing where you just fight the credits.

In a rhythm game. It's a really good genre. It's really fun. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, as you said that you just reminded me of something. I wanted to talk about it earlier but at some point I went through one of the last days just playing every rhythm game I can get my hands on.

Oh, okay, yeah. Because it turns out my girlfriend really likes them. They're all a lot of fun. And like after playing Jubeet and really getting into it. Are you a Tycho drum master now? No, I had a lot of fun with them but I gotta say like after going through the full fucking arcade like Project Diva was the worst one, man. The arcade one's not the best.

I don't like the arcade because the setup is shitty. It was not good. And it was just like, oh man, the others were way more fun. Do you have the love in your heart for little girls that Liam has? No, but how are you playing it? On the cabinet. Sorry, on normal? Actually, like on normal?

I guess. The default of the song. Because normal's not right. But I just, I wasn't, you know, you pick three songs and I try to an easy one. I try to a normal one. Sure, yeah. And I just, I wasn't enjoying it by comparison to the others at all. It's not as approachable.

Like it's definitely not as approachable. I mean, part of that also is the music selection for me as too. Yeah, exactly. We don't like the music. That's gonna be a big thing too. Although fucking every single game has the Attack on Titan themes in them for some reason. Like personally, I still kind of like the arcade version but I hate the setup. Like the four buttons like that.

Like when it's played on a console and you actually remember where the buttons go and not. Yeah, I know. I guess. And also it has different mechanics that aren't as good. Like the slide and the hole. The slide was the X. Exactly.

Neither of those are as good. Like it looks pretty but I was just like eh. And I'm thinking about like the games that I played before that were A. Jubeet. B. The twin rotator hand button things. You know what I'm talking about? It's like these two. It looks like two arcade sticks but they're knobs and you twist and turn them and you fly around and it's really awesome.

And then the washing machine game. Yeah. And like I'm playing those three and I'm getting really into it. And I was just like eh. And Reflect Beat as well. Yeah. But like what? Project EVE is not a bad game.

Like it's a really good rhythm game. I just, I didn't enjoy it. No, we both didn't enjoy it compared to the others. Oh god. I just remember. Oh no, Godzilla. We forgot to talk about the most important news of ever. What?

Miku was on Letterman. Yeah. Miku was on Letterman. Seriously? You didn't know that? He was gone when it happened. Who was the musical guest on Letterman? And you had to zoom in on Letterman's confused face and fuck my life.

Oh my god. I don't understand. How did they, how did that happen? She's popular. She was on, she was front for Lady Gaga one night. Are you serious? She is? Like everything about that's the greatest but the imaginary scenario that I have in my head.

Okay Jimmy, who's the musical guest this week? It's a computer program from Japan. What do you mean? Like a robot? Ah, not really. Can I interview her? No, she's a, she's a, no, no, David, she's not real. Then who's our musical guest?

It's really shocking that that was on Letterman and not like some video game like, like. Fallen. Fallen is the one. How is that? Yeah. Exactly. Like is Niku going to go on like Air Larry King live? Oh my god.

Oh, because like I said I can understand girl is because like the people behind the characters are like known musicians. And they're humans. The West. There's no, there's people there. I don't know, there's no humans behind me. No, it is a Yamaha program. It's a program.

There's no human there at all. That's what's so cool about it. I mean like anyone can do it. Must have sucked for the live audience. No, you can see. They actually, they were really into it. Yeah, I forgot. She's a hologram.

I'm sure I don't care about Niku. I know. I don't understand. It's the most fucking confusing thing in the world. Like all, because Letterman's audience has to have a substantial like amount of people that are like oh. What the fuck is going on here? Oh.

And you look at that. I look at that shit and go what the fuck. What the fuck. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Imagine people that don't know what a hologram is. Also.

Bring back Jam. Also some of those things like you know outside our observations of games that are just really like the kind of things that Conan makes when he plays a Clues gamer. Yeah. Yeah. I got one of those when we were playing Tycho drummaster and girlfriends like so when you're going through the selection of drum music here, why are there no actual Tycho drum songs that I can play to you?

And I was like fuck. I'm like, I'm like. That's so. There's gotta be some. We went through everything on the fucking list and there's anime games, anime music, music like all the. All the anime. All the J-pop you could want but no actual Tycho drumming.

I'm pretty sure some of these older editions have traditional songs. Yeah. I have to assume that the first versions have some and then they're like, well we need this to become popular. Well I was playing one of the editions that we were at PAX Prime in the awesome arcade restaurant bar or whatever and it definitely had traditional stuff but it was a much older edition. Okay.

Well. Probably just phased out because it's not popular. We need to get rid of the drum music. K-pop. But let's be really. You need a steady go in one more game. But let's be really real about it. It's not popular there.

You know what? I played Guitar Hero for like the acoustic like slow guitar tracks. You know? People play Guitar Hero for the cool flash and thunder. And you don't play more Guitar Hero if it was just rife with the J-pop. It's just when there's none I was like wow. Sure. Yeah.

What a fucking. They rotate the set list frequently. Because I was. Because you didn't know. Okay. Because Attack on Titan's team was in there. Yeah. But I was I had I was speechless.

I had no response to like why isn't there any drum music in this drumming game. I guess it just doesn't sell like. They can see the percentage. They can see the usage. You just saw a lie man. Why? Blake has a question. I've got a problem.

I'm into everything Gynax has done except for their endings. And I keep hearing about how amazing Evangelion is. But every time I try to watch it I can't get over what a fucking little bitch Shinji is. That's the point. I'm just a reluctant anime hero I've ever seen and it drives me crazy. That's the point. Only three episodes in and maybe it gets better but fuck. No.

There's no better motivation than being given a giant robot to go fight. The evil thing is literally going to destroy your entire home. But he acts like everyone's being completely unreasonable when they ask him to do it. Ugh. Okay. Because they kind of are a little but he's got to step up and that's the point. This is part of the problem is when you watch something 20 years after it came out. Or after watching a lot of other stuff.

Eva came out of stuff that was influenced by this. Yeah. So the reluctant anime hero is all ripping off Shinji. That's... Yeah. He's the archetype. But the reason Shinji's like that is because Eva is a response to hot-blooded anime pilots of the guy who's like, I want to get the robot and save the earth.

This is the idea of the shit version. No. If you were a 10-year-old kid with like severe parental issues and your dad called you up that you haven't seen in years and your mom's dead and was like, get in a robot and save the earth. You'd shit your pants. This is after the city gets fucking blown up by an angel and they get whooped about in the car and this and that and the other.

Also it's Hideaki Anno being bipolar and putting it out. Yeah. Very, very depressed. You know, on animation stuff. And the part is, it's part deconstruction but also like Shinji is, he's a great character but you're not supposed to like Shinji. Seriously. Shinji sucks.

But the problem with this guy's describing, I had the exact same thing. Did you? Yes. I really had found it hard to watch at the beginning because I was like, I hate everyone. I hate everyone. I can't fucking get into this. Yeah. You got to watch 7 or 8 until Asuka shows up and then the show is the best show ever.

No. I still hated it. But I realized that I'm supposed to hate these people. They're all real people. And then I warmed up to that concept. There's an invisible narrator that's like, no, look. These people are scumbags. Look at this shit.

It's not that they're scumbags, they're real people who happen to, who are not written to be meshed with each other, you know? A couple of them are scumbags. There are like, three people that are not scumbags and I love them to death but fuck everyone else. Misato's great. Misato, dude. What?

Get out of here. No. I was going to say... Pen. Pen, sure. Evil one. Evil two. The girl that's the...

Ritsuko's subgirl after another game. Yeah. A memorable character. Yeah, the lesbian. She is but she's named once. She turns into Tang like this. And Kaji because he's got problems but he's not a shitbag, you know? And on Gendo, obviously.

So yeah, dude, here's the deal. Yeah, Gendo's... He's the best. What a robot. Yeah. No, so here's the deal. Honestly, it is really hard to watch but you keep going because you're supposed to fucking hate you.

And then you get to the end of Evangelion and you're seeing things that are just like, if you didn't hate the character now, you're going to hate him. Nah. Nah. Nah. So here's the camera shop that will cause the hate. It's also really tough when you've been watching a lot of anime that always has a yeahly positive character and you watch an anime that everyone tells you it's super good and

you're like, whoa. Or like he says, the fact that he knows what that trope is called is demonstrated over the fact that he has experience with the trope of reluctant character. That's us. You get tired of it. But that's hilarious because Shinji was made as the response to the hot, bloody... To Captain Harlock. Not Captain Harlock but Masen Kaiser and that type of thing.

Those guys, I'm going to get the robot. Hey, I'm burning hot. Koji Kabuto, etc. Yeah, that stuff. That created a new archetype of reluctant heroes, which Gurren Lagann then had to double respond back to by having the reluctant one. Did you see that piece of art today? No.

Of Jerry the Predator logon? No, I didn't. Nah. He's the boss of this city. You have to see it. Sorry, just it popped into my head. But you had to fucking respond to the response. Yeah.

Like double flipping it on a stage. Exactly. It's important to wall when you watch Eva. It's not a robot show. It's a show about the miserable horror that is the human condition. That's it. Yeah, sure. And if you can get behind that, it's the best thing you've ever seen.

But if you're like, I don't want to think about the futility of existence, then no. You'll build up a defense to the hatred and then the ending of the show will make you hate it all over again. And then you watch the movies. And then you'll be like, I hate these people so much. You embrace the hatred. And then you'll start drawing Asuka and Rey on your walls. Singing comes usurped tight, as you do.

That's normal, though. Expect that. Carlos wants to know what your favorite 8-bit piece of music is. Is the Game Boy... Yeah, absolutely. Let me get the song, because I have a very specific one. Mega Man 2, Wily Thief. Damn it.

I don't want to say that. But I want to say that. Nothing beats it. The only thing I can think of that's closest to Airman is Airman Stage. Airman 2. I have that stage script, but if we had to go to another good either. Crash Man. Snake Man from Mega Man 3.

Metal Man. I was going to say, I like Airman Stage, but I like it way less when it's the actual 8-bit version. And when someone's not screaming in my ear with the lyrics, that said it is still really good. Wait. No. Okay.

I think there's some confusion here. Because Okusan Man is sung over the Wily Thief. No, he's thinking of the Airman Rock Cave. Can't defeat Airman. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Alright. I'm still looking up this song, so hand it up.

I'm going for a Castlevania 2. That's match choice. Yeah, it's one of my favorites. Alright. Hand it up. Keep talking about shit. The original Bloody Tears. I was going to say Bloody Tears, right?

In a world with that. There's some other choices to go to here as well. Okay, so my favorite is a song called New Messiah from Castlevania 2 Belmont's Revenge. And this is the song that you hear it and you're like, oh, the Game Boy's smoking right now. It's on fire. How can a Game Boy... Oh, like the Pictionary opening theme?

Yeah, that one's... Yeah, the Game Boy. Yeah, the Game Boy's on fire right now. Wow, wow. This game is like a bit of a gem, actually. In response to the terrible first one, I love that song so much. And the Pictionary theme is of course... Yeah, I don't think anybody can compete with Castlevania and Mega Man.

No, they're in their own league. They're in their own league, yeah. See, but Castlevania had the advantage of having multiple games that they could remake those songs to become like that. Whereas Mega Man was one and out, you know, and if there was like... Two and three. I guess like Final Fantasy's got some killers, too. Yeah.

8-bit? Yeah, 8-bit. Oh, they're still pretty good. Prelude. Yeah, exactly. Prelude's amazing. Yeah, they're still pretty good. I think those two, you're right, though.

Mr. Gimmick and Pictionary are two like the stellar ones in that regard, though. Oh my god, the fucking theme from X. That's 16. Oh, you're cheating. No, it's not Game Boy. No, Game Boy. It's a GB game. Wow.

Not Mega Man X. Oh, just X. But yeah, no, if you go 16, it opens up way too. No, you just say it goes for me all that down. Yeah, it's impossible. Wait, you have to. No, you know what? Just nail it down.

You're right. There's no song that competes with Go Straight. There's many. Anything from Chrono Trigger. Anything from Chrono Trigger. I can't believe you said that. And then you listen to Go Straight and you're like, wait, wait, wait. It's still inferior.

Oh, oh, oh. Dude, World Revolution still gives me jibbs on my spine. Go Straight? Every time I listen to that song. It's like the first time. All over again. Every time. Go Straight is the only thing to have ever caused my neighbors to pound on the walls.

In your current apartment. Yeah. Damn. Because I was just turning it up and up and up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like 3 AM and I just bought a subwoofer and they had enough. Dude, the mini Bosses Mega Man 2 cover was, that was my wake up alarm for a while. Okay, yeah.

Drink Moxie wants to know what you guys are thankful for seeing as it's Canadian Thanksgiving. I am no long, I'm not, I almost said I'm no longer dead. I'm not dead. I seem to be somewhat healthy. Somewhat. Yeah. And I continue to have a pretty good job and a wonderful girlfriend and my parents are doing fine.

So yeah, I'm good. No, exactly. I'm just thankful that everything in my life is pretty tip top, you know, like no complaints really. Yep. And that is enough to make me really happy. Yes. And I'm thankful for that.

I mean, like things could have gone one way after we took the risk. After we, you know. Do you remember the first thing we said to each other when we got in the elevator? What? This is the worst decision. This is the worst decision ever made. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I'm really happy that that's working out. Yeah. And on a more like, I guess, games thing related note, I'm thankful that like Nintendo's having a great month. Yeah. Like suddenly there's so much Nintendo stuff to talk about after a year of nothing. And this is without even getting into the really easy things. Like I'm thankful that I'm not on fire right now.

Because you can combust. I could. It's possible. You could just go, ah! I'm tapping you a lighter right now. There's documented cases, man. Yeah. Ball lightning.

I'm thankful for having someone that, despite this being one of the biggest headaches I've ever had to do planning a wedding, that it's going to be like 100% worth it. And I'm thankful for being able to do what I love and what's really fun as a job and to bring three knuckleheads along the ride with me. I'm glad that my skeleton is no longer trying to escape my body. That was a rude face. Yeah, but it's really bad. I'm thankful we got Liam out of the vents.

Have more Vitamin D, kids. By the way, if you don't have any Vitamin D, your skeleton will try to escape. Liam's in the vents. Okay. It's really good. I'm glad I played Metroid Prime Echoes with a certain dude back in the day in Dawson. Oh, there you go. I was going to say, I don't remember doing this single player.

I was like, oh no, we played the multiplayer. Oh god, I remember that day. That's before I knew you guys well. I'm like, what are you guys doing? We're going to go play the Metroid Prime 2 multiplayer. I'm like, I'm going to hang out with my other friends. I guess I'm grateful I played Star Fox Command. Yeah, if you haven't.

100% because that got me where I am today. There you go. There you go. Thanks, Star Fox. That end, you almost stealing the code for one of the games you worked on. I hope you have. You didn't do in the end. I didn't do in the end.

But almost did. What game is this? The adventure. Oh, really? Yeah. It was in a bad situation. We got one coming in from this guy. This guy just wants to know.

Seriously, it's this guy. This guy. I'm just wondering if you prefer inventory screens that at least are half justified in worlds such as RE4's briefcase or more gamey screens like the inventory from Last of Us or Skyrim. I prefer the latter because the former raises questions as to how you can hide a rocket launcher in this infinite briefcase. What are you talking about?

The Last of Us's inventory is completely justified. It's his backpack. Yeah, but I think it means the visual representation is just a black overlay with little icons. Towards the end of the game, when you get extra stuff, they start hanging off of it too. Yeah, but not enough. I was going to say there's too much stuff in there. A really good example of that is the difference between RE4 and 5. Where 4, you had the briefcase, the attach case, and 5, you had the 3x3 delay.

Completely abstracted, like 8th grade. Yeah, 3x3, which had its own uses because you could do some cool bullshit with that. I think if you're creative enough and you try to justify your thing, then you have something amazing like the attach case. That is amazing enough that we make jokes about how it released just HD version of that. Whereas in 10 years, will you remember Last of Us's inventory? No, probably not. No, definitely not.

I always appreciate some form of in-universe anything. It doesn't have to be sensical. The briefcase doesn't make any fucking sense at all. A, he's not carrying a briefcase. That's the first issue. B, that's an absurdly gigantic attach case. But at least there's kind of something. Even the inventory screens in RE1 and 2 is like, yeah, I like that.

The difference here that I think is the big one, he mentions Skyrim as the most abstract because it is. It's like an Apple style grid and you compare that to both of the Fallout 3 and New Vegas where at the very least, you're pulling up your Pip-Boy to look at a CRT screen that has that. And your inventory is still in nowhere. But at least that's a thing. Fucking Metal Gear, man. Boxes out of your pocket and shit.

Boxes is the biggest problem. At least those fold up, right? Fold up into his ass. Could you imagine? In MGS4, you get the Railgun. That's as tall as, like, bigger than the same. Could you imagine Dante running around with all the weapons from all his styles on his body? Visually represented?

And Link, too, it's the same deal. Where's the hammer go? Up the dress. Like, wait, why does putting the heavy boots in your backpack not make you heavy? You say that, but that's why the pursuer design in Dark Souls 2 looks so cool. Because it looks like that character. It looks like the character that has every single piece of gear that they actually have on the version. And I think that design, like, designing your character to have a look that actually carries all of their gear looks awesome.

Like, last of us tried to do it. I was going to say, like, who does it the best? Samus Aron. Undoubtedly, Samus is the best. Tons of visual representations. And they're simple and they're small. Only thing that doesn't make sense is the morph ball. Well, I can overlook that one.

No, no, no. The game version of the morph ball is too small. That's all it needs to do. No, she's just really flexible. Dude, she has a hat. The shoulder pads expand and she's crouched. Like you date Samus, oh, there's a hatch or something. There's a hatch?

But she's like six foot something. Like to shrink down to, like, that big. It's fine. It'll fit. Shift it. Matt wants to know. Yeah. How often do you talk to yourself when playing games?

It depends on the game. Only during crazy hype moments for the first time. Yeah. I will have moments where you believe this shit and like, oh, I'm alone. Yeah. No, when there's something like particularly noteworthy. Yeah.

Well, 101. I was talking to myself after everything in 5B upwards. Oh, me too. And then my girlfriend was like, stop talking to yourself. I'm right here. No. When I'm playing a game, I'm pretty silent. If there's someone in the room and they're like,

wait, sometimes when I see something really cool and I want them to come over and check it out, I'll be like, that was cool. Oh, it's this. But like, I talk to myself when I'm not playing video games. Me too. I'm like, oh, what the fuck is this bullshit? Oh, my God.

I can't believe this. Oh, I hate bullies so much. I mean, oh, never mind. So yeah, I'll talk to myself almost when not playing video games. I talk to myself all the time. It's fun. Never for me. It's fun.

Exactly. It's fun. The primary amount of dialogue that I'm talking to myself in games is a character spec sheet, a level up screen, inventory management, or trying to chart out a path. So you can do it better, right? And it's just like, OK, so I put this here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. When we were playing Mordor, when me and Liam were playing Mordor, you were not listening to us anymore because you were in the skill stream. You were just talking to yourself. Not like, like, you were just going, OK, this works here. This works.

OK, yeah. Wait, well, does it count when I'm like, right or kicking my bread? Yeah, of course. Or like, Yuri and tackling a door. Yeah, of course. Because you got to get us a video of you kicking your bread onto your floor. Yeah.

In the bag when it's soft and you go to pull it out, you put two slices for your sandwich and you tie the bread back up and you're just like, stick, right or kick. Or when you open a door, you can lean into it with your shoulder. So it's like, Yuri and going, crush. No, that just doesn't count.

That doesn't count. No, I don't talk to myself. That reminds me of that moment. I didn't say anything, but I was at Matt's and the last ice cream sandwich was in the box and I flicked it in the air and caught it out of the air

and you're like, save it for the big leagues. And I'm like, I can't believe I did that. Yeah, I totally get you. And the crush thing with the door is I never thought of that. But now I'm gonna. Now I'm gonna. It's like, because it started at my first testing place

where you had to shoulder the door to get it open. And so when I'm doing it, I'm just like, I'm doing the animation of Yuri. For me, it's always been a curious shoulder tackle. Like, oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That too, that too. Real fast one.

We've got Adrian asking if us to get into extreme detail on why we hate the Prometheus movie. No. Or if you can already point me towards a video or something like that. Comic book girl 19. Comic book girl 19.

Yeah, pretty succinct and I'd say like unbiased. Like I am looking forward to this movie. Somewhat objective. This is everything that's wrong with this. So go watch her stuff on it, because she talks about what didn't make it in and what would have made sense. And how it would have been so much more interesting

if it was the movie. Then just go watch the little red letter media video. That was also good. Where they're asking questions. I think it's called Prometheus Questions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, do you remember the friend we have who suggested we do this podcast

who when Prometheus was coming out, he was the most excited person on earth. He was. And he did that little dance and just sang the word Prometheus over and over. Prometheus. Yeah, exactly. Prometheus.

You sing it like the Tories. Prometheus, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just sing that. For minutes at a time that worked. Movie doesn't make any goddamn sense. He ain't singing it no more. And it doesn't just not make sense on a macro level

where it's like, oh, you know, the mystery didn't fit in. It's like there are constantly little things that make no sense. Yeah, there's story things that don't make sense. And then there's like logic things. How this person get lost. Yeah.

Go check those two things out. They'll sum it up. Nice. A couple of people sent in some things pointing out anime censorship as a topic of the week, right? Now, your face. Okay, I just want to... Because I didn't know about this until...

Is it a violent censorship? So here's what it is. Hey, I'll read this one. Hey, it's Try Here. I just watched the anime adaptation of Terraform. Yeah! And this was the most obnoxious censorship I have ever seen. I know Japanese television has a strict rule

about violence content. Violent content. But this is way too far. If you guys know shows that are like this, please mention some of them during the podcast. Constantly. So someone else then sent in an email... With pictures?

With pictures. Yes. And I fucking looked at these. This is the one. I can't believe this shit. Are you serious? There's just black dots. There's just black dots all over the screen

and half the screen is black. Dead bodies just lying on the ground and black dots over their heads. That looks like... Hey, look at this one. The bottom one. Look at that. You can't see anything.

That looks like the metro station televisions that people have thrown shit at. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, the E's are broken. It's just big black circles and black lines. I remember... So I remember when you were laughing at Jojo Smoking. Yeah.

In Stardust Crusaders. And it was all that silly because he's all in shadow. Yeah. This is fucking horseshit. It's pretty gory. Like I've read it. It's pretty gory.

It's like... It's like Blu-ray. Yeah. Me and my girlfriend read it and then we were both watching the first episode and we were just like laughing at how bad the censorship was and it is getting worse.

And the second... And the third episode was even less tasteful with it. It was some of those pictures you just showed me where they didn't even blur the edges. Just black dots. They just put a black line or dots or whatever.

Why do you even bother adapting it? Yeah, I was just gonna say... The answer is because like give it a year and it'll be perfect for the rest of time. It'll be fine for the rest of time. Just now it's shitty, you know. Because of the TV standards.

Exactly. Because that's where they make their money on TV. How the hell did Attack on Titan get on the air? It's way gorier than Attack on Titan. Oh, okay. Like... Yeah. Attack on Titan.

If someone gets eaten whole, that's cool. You don't see anything. Yeah. But if someone gets pieces of them ripped apart. But this is so tasteless in terms of how they want to balance it. When you think about it, the only thing I can think of

that had a drastic change is like the Berserk manga and the Berserk anime. Like the Berserk anime is fairly violent. But the thing that they never put in or it's out... If anyone is hit by any object in Berserk, their eyeballs burst out of their skull.

Yeah. It doesn't matter. You can stub your toe. Guess what? Your eyeballs are coming out. Pump was also straight up removed. Well, but that was more of a story

rather than violence. But like... And babies getting impaled in the manga in the first scene. Yeah. In the manga and like in the anime. I went back to the manga when I was telling...

People were asking me when I was talking about Berserk a lot. And you were talking about Berserk a lot. A lot of people were asking me, Hey, should I watch Berserk? Or should I read Berserk? Sorry. Yeah.

And I went, Okay, I want to test. How many pages is it until you see a baby on a spike? And it's like 11. It's like four? Oh. 11 pages.

It's your tolerance. It's like, yeah. So, yeah. You still want to watch Berserk? That's your primer. Yeah. Read the first chapter. See what's up.

You can handle the first... That first chip is brutal. Yeah. Like, I totally agree. It sucks, but at least it's not like games because in the end you get the uncensored version.

In the end of the day, you'll have it for the rest of time. Or you could pay Bethesda for a gory version of your game if you have the evil within Japan. Yeah. It sucks though. And Terraformars is laughable

in the state that it's in. Yeah. It's still really interesting. Unbelievable, man. We got one last one coming in from Mike Zero Dude. Oh. Hey, Mike, how you doing?

I'm good. I'm buddy. Welcome back, Holy Bon Voyage Pat, I guess. My question is, if you could have the people that directed or designed the game do commentary on said games

as an extra on a DVD-type thing while you played, what game would it be? It's a really good question. Valve does this. It's awesome. Yes. If they could pick one,

I would pick... For Portal 2. No? That was a while ago. I think Portal 2. But then again, they haven't released a game. Don't think it's on the other one.

I would think I would want any of Tim Schaeffer's games by Tim Schaeffer because he is such a hilarious man. I don't know if you guys have followed the Broken Age like backer diaries. Have you followed those at all?

No, really? There's 16 episodes. They're fantastic to listen to because he's such an entertaining man. I would love to just hear the stuff he has to say because he's so entertaining. Shadow of the Colossus would be good.

That'd be interesting. Absolutely. I mean, it's a quiet game and there'd be more to it. There's a good place for it. There's a good place for it. Your Tim Schaeffer thing is a good thing but he'll be talking over a game

that has a lot of stuff going on. Like Portal. Exactly. I want Kojima talking to me through any of these games. Kojima, sure. Sure, yeah. I feel these games.

Just whisper the entire way through into my ear what you were thinking. Please tell me about Penguin Race. The fuck were you thinking here, Koji? Yeah, so I'm going to take the same idea as Willie but take it to its natural evil twin.

I want Beyond Two Souls, David K. commentary. Yeah. I want to know what the fuck you were actually thinking. We could do a whole other LP on that version. Just on that.

You're right. That'd be interesting. And I want, I want, I don't care what I get. I don't care if I get like what he's going to say or what's true. Yeah.

Right? Because I want him to say the things that he was thinking about for this scene and I want them to be obvious blatant lies. You know, and it's like, I think all of us

gave really good answers to that. And it's hard to think of one that's bad. Like unless you're the dryest, most boring person, which, you know, whoever these people are. There's a lot of game developers

actually are. Yeah, exactly. And some movie directors as well. Yeah, certainly true. There's bad, there's very bad. Like I even enjoyed the director's commentary and Thomas was alone

by Mike Bethel, right? He did a great job on that. And that's fucking Thomas was alone. That is the most nothing, simple platformer ever. So as long as you're an entertaining guy. DXHR.

DXHR, yeah. Absolutely. Get them French in there. There you go. It sounded good though, absolutely. It's hard to pick a bad one because there's so much interesting that happens.

But the ones that have been done so far, they've all been good. Exactly. Because there's so much interesting stuff that happens when you make a game. I assume they never agree like a feature like that

if they didn't. Unless they have three, four people on the staff that can talk about it. Yeah, well they've got to talk about it. But for a bad game, it would be so interesting too.

Yeah. Just to hear someone say Oh no, right to hell. Right to hell. That's the king. Yeah. Just to hear someone be like look, so we were running out

of budget here. No. There was a level that was cut and. That's not what I want to hear for right to hell. What I want to hear is like, okay, so we're really happy

with this level. Yeah. Yeah. It's really, it's really cool how he jumps at the end, right? And then he fucks the chick. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you hear like high-fiving like at the. That would be a better game. Have a couple of chinks. Like.

That would be a good game. Drinking all the way. You know, we'll be more fun than replaying a God of War game. Yeah. Listen to the commentary for it. I bet that's. Yeah.

David Jaffe too. Yeah, it's just Jaffe drunk, yelling at his PR handler to get off of them. This is so Bush League. One of my favorite. Love that guy. One of my favorite commentary

tracks of all time is Invaders and fucking jokes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking Joan and Vasquez

talking over that show is unbelievably amazing. It's so good. It's a. Also. It's very. Futurama staff. Futurama staff.

I can imagine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bullshit. Like it's the best. Also, of course, Schwarzenegger commentating

over. Total recall. Total recall. Total recall. It's the best. That's from our first LP ever. Yeah. We talked about that.

RE2. What did he say? Well, I remember this pot. It was super gross. I pulled the thing out of my nose. Look, it's so big. Oh, my God. You're John Claude Van Damme

impersonation. Great. And then the director would go, that's true. That's true. That scene just did happen. And he's like, That's the whole movie.

He doesn't even stop. He just looks at the movie and says and tells you what's happening in the movie. So is it like you forgot everything? I think I said this before. Maybe it was in the R2 thing.

But when he said it was in the R2 thing, it was in the R2 thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the R2 thing is when I was talking about his commentary

on Terminator 3, Rise of the Machines, and when that Terminator inflates her breasts because she looks at like a thing. And then he goes, No, that's just fantastic. I think all the women should have

this. Oh, so good. Oh. I love this movie. Vote for me. Vote for me. What are you guys watching this week?

I'm watching Japan. That's a good thing to watch. That's the only thing you can watch. I am keenly watching the evil men because as Matt will attest to, I forgot that it was coming out this weekend.

Yeah, he forgot the date. They bumped it up a week earlier. So I got a message from Amazon and they're just like, it's coming. And I'm like, holy shit. Like the hype train wasn't even looking for it.

And it's boarding. Yeah. I want to change my thing. I'm not going to play evil within. But what I noticed that it unlocks at midnight tonight. So what I am going to do is benchmark the first level over

and over. All right. Evil within for sure. A bit killer in sync to this Wednesday. They're making a sequel to Killer Instinct. Yep.

That's it. There you go. Season two. Oh, yeah. So is that when the new menu is coming in? Brands with all the new menus. Ultra finishers.

Brands with DPs, man. Yeah. That's all. By the way, Willie, we have to, if you have any KP left, like the in-game currency, you have to buy all that stuff you want now because it's going

to reset back to zero. All my KP? Like, yes. So if you buy all the stuff you want now, like any colors or whatever, you'll have it. And then. Season two starts.

It's refreshed. Okay. It's refreshed. If you don't spend the money out, then you will use PSA. PSA, use KP. I was saving up my KP.

I was saving up my KP. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stop. I guess like the Vita TV comes out. So I'm looking forward to lending it to my sister so she can play Danganronpa and

figuring out how to get around fucking HGCP. Okay. That'll be fun. There's no way to do that. Yeah. You know. Fucking HGP.

Playing all the games I missed. Yeah, I know. Fucking everything. What order are you going at it? And do you have Hyrule Warriors or no? Yeah, Hyrule Warriors is in my bag right now.

Smash physical copy. If I can pick it up on the way home today. I will do that. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. You might have some fucking trouble. Are you going to the future shop? Yeah.

But I have to pick a pit stop first. Okay. But I don't know what order and that's going to fucking trouble me because I'm also editing. Yeah.

The full fucking thing. Yeah. So I don't know. And I also really am enjoying SMT4 so I don't know. It's a good game. It's a good game. I'll tell you what though.

I'm dropping Fire Emblem. Oh really? Yeah, no. Until later. Because there's too much to play right now. SMC4 is a clear priority over Fire Emblem.

I'm going to get back to that. I can feel someone like coming here to stab me. They're both like really, really good. Absolutely. I would. But just in the fucking list

that is Ultimax, Hyrule Warrior has been in it too. Smash Brothers, SMT4. Of course. I am going to play Fire Emblem last. Sure. Of those.

So that's that. What about you Matt? He's having season two. Oh, I forgot. I was going to say. Also Duck Dynasty. Yeah. You want it tomorrow.

We still don't even know what type of game it is. No, minute one, man. It's one of those great Activision titles. It is Activision. It's not. I can't remember.

Okay, so that's what we're watching. So what's going up on the site and the channel then? Tomorrow, our new game in the Shistarm Stop. Since you guys seem to love Bug Island, we're going to do

even more of it. We might. We might. We might. We might. We might. We might. You don't know.

So the new game is starting tomorrow. Dark Souls will return. Dark Souls coming. Oh, I think it came back yesterday. I don't know. I think so.

Okay. It's coming back. It's coming back. Quok will continue. Especially now that you guys are here. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah.

And a couple of more fun Halloween one-offs. Some of them are very bony. God. It's terrible. Yeah. That's terrible. I didn't want to say it

earlier, but some of those were my highlights of my weekend. Yeah. Playing some of those games. One of them was a fucking gem. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. That's it. All right. We got to get out of here. We do have to get out of here. We have to go back to sleep because you don't know what

fucking day or time it is. And the worst part is it's like overcast right now. Yeah. It's like the worst thing that could happen. I'm all I'm jet streaming all over the place.

I don't know what's going on. All right. All right. Bye everybody. Bye everybody.
