Starting point is 00:00:00 we're in there with max a million how's it going guys yo max pretty good who is this guy no max is great oh what's going on dude pretty pretty good some some people might not know me but I like all the same shit you guys do so so on your channel you do fighting games all the time and you recently did a bayot 2 was it a full playthrough I can't recall we did we did a full play through pretty in touch on this kind of stuff yes yeah and we have an affinity of taste is complete regions be damned when it comes to games I want to play you made the right choice I think the only real difference between us and max is that
Starting point is 00:00:53 when max played JoJo all-star battle his main thing was why why do they pose like that like that man don't you get it I'd like to think that like max and I have kind of been staring at each other from across the room in the fighting game gymnasium for the past couple years awkward winks and shoulder bumps right you holding up the wall but this is the first time we've actually spoken sir yeah it's kind of now we can spend go ahead now we can spend two hours talking about hair tips oh sick I was looking forward to getting dreads I can't wait really shut up and put Benny on the mic oh I will
Starting point is 00:01:36 that's how Pat yells for his girlfriend it's weird you guys are me shit hey you're not here to punch me so it's fine oh you know I'll just stock them up Liam oh yeah well get your digs right I already have to punch you for like three things I saw here in Japan I wanted to talk about opening up the loot crate box and finding Pat's mom inside I was watching Willie CVS to adventure through through Japan and I have to ask you Pat if you're if you're there right now have you seen any ads for Beo to I saw an ad for Beo to yes nice it was right next to Beo to a store that doesn't count at all were you looking at the copy of Beo
Starting point is 00:02:37 to a kiosk of Beo to surrounding a television that was playing ads of Beo to that's depressing yeah you're watching camera it sucks but like in Japan any game that's not the biggest triple a is extremely front-loaded in its advertising so like stuff for the new Danganronpa and Beo to and all this recent stuff is just gone yeah no advertising and the crazy thing is that shit so you can make room for the skyscraper sized ads for Monster Hunter exactly like there's there's something crazy that happened when Jojo came out and I imported that copy the Japanese one the dude that got me the copy kind of
Starting point is 00:03:16 handles an import shop and he I got it for like half as much as it did when it came out and was like a week after it came out and he said that yeah in Japan after the first week games just drop in price they just shoveling die and they just die yeah definitely like if the quality of the game turns out to be lower than expected and Jojo is like the best example of that the price is just slash like Nino Cooney for the DS that had the big book and everything yeah expensive after like three weeks it was a thousand yen yeah it was a big pain page you to take it because it was so big we need to get rid of this now if
Starting point is 00:03:49 you've seen that then I guess I only have to cut my head off halfway yeah it's funny why is that yes because he's because in Willie's video he said if I can't find a bayo to add I'll cut my own head off of the chainsaw we promise okay halfway is pretty good yeah so just kind of flops there be careful with that chainsaw you can still talk but you're talking like Terrence and Philip with your neck yeah or like Benicio Del Toro in Sin City I don't know when I lean forward it's like I thank you like yeah do you remember that part in Sin City where Benicio Del Toro's head got cut off halfway that's just the way he talks
Starting point is 00:04:27 that's just that's just the Spanish for you yeah that's all guacamole live on the podcast I know I get racists live anyway quans get that shit out of game was so good clean podcast yeah so let's let's cover our weeks starting from the future and moving backwards through time yeah yeah yeah so right now Pat you are the furthest in the future how was your day morning man holy shit bull shit so first of all I want to make a couple of statements one doing the podcast in the morning is bullshit wake up sleepy this is garbage you shut up Liam you always like to get up in the morning cuz you're young that's the end of that
Starting point is 00:05:10 full of pissing at the crack of 10 that Liam just turned 16 right yeah just turn I thought so it's a good guess second thing more than Japan I have discovered be due to Japan my latent desire for coffee oh yeah okay I have never drank coffee but I have had like hey here have a sip of this bullshit from Tim Hortons I always go right and is the nation not ready to deliver on that it's ready to deliver so basically I ran into a similar problem that you did Willie where I got here and my brain goes well I get off the you know the you're dead your brain is telling you that you're dead that's correct right and
Starting point is 00:05:50 my brain is like you said it's telling me that I have died and that I need like poison electrolytes or something yeah yeah but I could not find my poison of choice which is Red Bull and could not find it so I'm like okay well there are 180 different kinds of coffee in this machine gotta settle for blackout gods wait is it just like Shenmue like a big coffee machine yeah it is a vending machine that is the most next level vending machine you have ever seen amazing on every corner and not only on every corner like four on a corner so and then in one case eight on a corner and they're all run by different
Starting point is 00:06:29 companies so every single item is different hmm and so you pay a buck and you get fantastic milk and sugar like hot coffee in a can occasionally you get little coffee stuffs in there too yeah it's just life-changing yeah you gotta find the Centauri machines if you want boss coffee of course I found one of those and the boss coffee wasn't like it was pretty good but it wasn't as good as some of the other ones I've been having like the advertising is mislead misled me well it's just the most popular right as far as I know if you drink this coffee surely you will banish the the wind and ghosts from your soul and because now I
Starting point is 00:07:10 want hot coffee in a can at every like possible opportunity and go talk to a human being oh no coffee you could always just buy a coffee maker and get good at making coffee no the problem can you can get Amazon to send you coffee in Japan no it has to be a robot you don't get it no I do I've done it before I have to put any effort into this process at all it's worthless well then then you want to worry you won't get addicted to it yeah I feel good like just plopping a hundred yen coin in it feels fucking amazing yeah it's yeah I'm down with Pat because anytime I get fed food or drink by somebody that is not
Starting point is 00:07:57 myself that made it it tastes ten times better yeah absolutely and just like every single like Willie you had you talked about this like not last week but two weeks every single piece of food I have eaten here is the best of that piece yeah yeah yeah and not even necessarily from a fancy place or anything like no like there's no like your mind next to the guest house there's this nice little chain restaurant called Coco's and if you looked at it yeah it would look like a Denny's or something of that caliber you know just like oh it's the shit fucking right and you go in there and I had like chicken steak and it's the best chicken
Starting point is 00:08:40 I've ever had in my life I ordered the big American apple pie on their big America menu and it's the best apple pie I've ever had that's not Japan at a fast food place right no one does American food better than Japan no specific to Coco's and a couple other places like that how great is it to sit at a table and do whatever the fuck you want and have a button to call them when you're ready it's so it's so useful I'm ready for you yes but then you run into the problem where you hit the button and all I know of Japanese right now is for ordering food and it's Kodeku desai it's like this please yes yeah and that level
Starting point is 00:09:25 of mastery causes the assumption of a total level of master yeah at which point the nice lady serving me jabbers on I don't know about the grudges she spouts kanji at you yeah and just you have to dodge it I end up looking yeah I end up looking to my girlfriend and going hell so yeah I mean this is just give this like wide-eyed stare and just be like just run away just throw your arms up and they'll chase you and give you exactly what you were thinking of this woman is as pointed in this direction she says we should go there and you look up and you're like okay let's open up into this house and you're
Starting point is 00:10:06 inside the grudge house you're like I didn't understand what she was saying about the food side quest accepted so yeah how's the jet lag how's the place jet okay jet lag in jet lag is real path yep oh boy that plane but like you willy because our sleeping schedules are so jacked in the first place within like two days I started going to bed at 10 o'clock and waking up at six in the morning like a normal yeah yeah like like people are supposed to do doesn't feel weird it feels great I wish I could do it back home yeah I'm gonna try and do it back home so you guys have the same problem where you go to bed at like 5 a.m.
Starting point is 00:10:50 and wake up at like three or some shit like that that's it that's it all right good that's not ever ever since I started to go to college my brain just wants that as well in general I would say yeah I don't actually everyone like like 95 yeah I tend to do the most work from for some reason midnight to 6 a.m. and I have yeah exactly yes you're completely right like efficiency doubles yeah the midnight hour let's play yeah it's the only time you're actually awake yeah so in the afternoon you're just like right what have you done so far yeah how's the actual let's see I went down to Dotonbori I saw oh man going down to
Starting point is 00:11:34 Dotonbori like you and I must have had a very different experience woolly because you didn't play yakuza too sure and going down there and standing on that bridge all like this giant amazing cityscape with these like huge neon skyscrapers and all I can think about all I can think about is that they've added another safety rail on the bridge that would make it impossible for cure you to throw guys off like that's it aside from specific locations I'll get to a couple more of those in a second dude you were talking all sorts of love about the trains here mm-hmm what is wrong with you woolly these are the
Starting point is 00:12:20 worst trains that have ever existed no I have ever been created wait what are you actually why yeah pause right here whenever Pat's been anywhere yeah you go this sucks really hard compared to where I live mm-hmm yes this or is that just like you you're just not used to it no that's a no this is a different thing that okay there's plenty of that also because I'm because I'm a baby but no it's like the trains are smooth quiet reliable like the machine that you use yeah to get on them is awesome the people at the station are helpful the problem is that you get on the train and then it doesn't go where you want to go
Starting point is 00:13:03 cuz you don't know where you're going no you the train says your station and you get on it and the guy on them on the intercom says your station and then you watch as you fly by your station and up like 30 minutes away why I have been getting lost on these trains a lot well I like you go to the wrong place and oh this wrong place was better than our destination oh I'm at the house that's usually been pretty close to the case there you go like and like clean holy shit no litter clean yeah no litter yeah no litter no litter nowhere there's no time to litter when you have to play monster hunter mm-hmm I saw a single
Starting point is 00:13:57 like piece of garbage on the ground and the cops and the cops were circling it and then everyone looks at it goes and goes that's where the gaijin were the forerunners yeah yeah exactly that's the running joke yeah so I and like I like I've run into probably the weirdest like scenario like the the the experience will you you encountered this and I'm encountering it especially with my girlfriend the the experience of being other of like everyone is staring at me everyone is doing all the time like a notorious monster it's awesome it's awesome no and also you people that told me in Japanese folks were short you
Starting point is 00:14:43 lied it's not really the case they're kind of the same kind of height yeah they're still taller than me oh were you expecting some kind of ego boost I was expecting to be able to see over at least like one person's head that was going to go again for a minute let him have that I remember on Twitter I saw Takahata is also going to Japan he's like I can't wait to be six to and walk around and I was like you should also probably call yourself Emperor Clobbersaurus because that's what you should do and do the Steiner voice just do the Steiner voice exactly yeah so I went down to Dotonbori which is amazing
Starting point is 00:15:24 like just the scale and like I wish we had little bridges that overlooked like entire city skylines back home mm-hmm I went to a cool little barcade called Space Station mm-hmm where I had a Zangief which is a strong white Russian love it which is a thing which is fantastic yeah nothing special just put more blood good yeah I want chest hair on the glass yeah well I don't need anymore but I went down to Nara well you went to Nara also right fucking dear those deer don't have their their their head they're not their heads cause they don't have their antlers anymore thank God like when I got in the first thing I
Starting point is 00:16:10 saw was this nice little lady like trying to feed them and one of them like headbutt at her near to the floor and her face is really in headbutt style just rawr yeah and it's an eggus deflector it's like a cow's fur off the stride the deer just do unblockables all day long in Japan yeah exactly she's getting up and he's like ball overhead what get to work anyway yeah so well you are now right so this giant amazing beautiful like picturesque temple like surrounded by all these deer everywhere and it's the it's like a postcard except for the fact that every square millimeter of ground is just covered with deer shit
Starting point is 00:17:03 I was about to say every and and the trick to get around the fact that your national monument is like just covered in feces is to tell people that it's good luck yeah absolutely yep yep yep I hope you wore different shoes that day yes I did good smart that's what even then I washed them so so fuck it I went down to Osaka Castle which is both bigger and smaller than I expected okay like from a distance it looks like really really large I like everything else in this country like this guy like building wise and when I got up close to it I'm just like how are you like how is Ryu supposed to fight oh yeah yeah it's like
Starting point is 00:17:51 jump down like there's just not enough on there yeah how about that moat that dude yeah dude it's beautiful it's a really nice like it's useful sure for the invading hordes or whatever but yeah it's just beautiful but yeah that foundation is like the biggest part of the whole fucking castle did you go up to it and you look up and it's all like in your face it's just all foundation and then it like way way up above you it's pretty castle did you read the story for of like the family in the castle and no bunaga and all that shit was as you're talking about with the little the holograms yeah with the little TVs yeah
Starting point is 00:18:31 exactly did it look just like the opening Donnie Moosa three pretty much exactly the same just was already a part of Japanese history yeah definitely he was a second man yep I'm looking at all this stuff and all this history and all these dioramas and I'm overwhelmed with this feeling of ignorance because it's all no bunaga and Hideyoshi right and all I can think of is I don't know anything about these people other than no bunaga is apparently Satan and he has his good ambition final boss of like a dozen games yeah that Hideyoshi's the other guy yeah she was a second yeah but then don't forget Mitsuhide oh he's the
Starting point is 00:19:15 guy with the fight guess what's gonna happen and then talk it a shingan kicks all their asses it happens how many times Liam every how many dynasty war every fucking game no but in samurai warriors and every every anime season there's like three of them Square Enix released two different IPs based on that in the past two years like it's too much I love it but there's too much like when old ladies watch like old timey like you know Humphrey Bogart movies are like soap operas they're like oh this is just like my stories I really like it like Japanese women be playing dynasty worthy oh it's just like my story oh that
Starting point is 00:19:57 lube it like is no bunaga supposed to be a good guy or a bad guy he's an anti hero is that correct he's kind of like he's kind of like shadow oh my god the hedgehog no bunaga yeah he is all he is and he had a big gun yeah one step forward cycle I just play it was pure I just played shadow the hedgehog for the first time last yeah well they were having a theme for Halloween where we don't play scary games we play horrific hedgehog games so we're just playing a lot of bad sonic games so basically able to complete shadow oh fuck no maybe I got to the third level and I was just like please turn it off it's offensive
Starting point is 00:20:46 to my eyes okay so it was your own will gave out on that oh yeah we have it we have a call it moment where I'm calling it we should have that well we and I have a certain affinity for that game and we pushed our LP to the end despite two crashes at the most climactic moment the game had no will yeah we wanted to go further but the game stopped us and we got exactly where you guys find the ps2 version thank you oh the gamecube ps2 version runs at maybe seven frames a second oh okay maybe awesome when a good moments so it's okay so offensive to the eyes of course it's not good it's got 12 endings though yeah it does it's a good
Starting point is 00:21:30 yeah so anything else about about neon yeah two things one willy did you end up going to your boss camera no I didn't god damn it this is the best that like this is like I went to temples I went to castles this camera store clear is an electronic store at this point well it says camera on the side no no it is still called you're the boss you can only you've been there right I've been to live in there are all the electronic the big okay so I wanted those in the softbaps I just this isn't like this is an eight floor electronic store that is like larger than was it the one that spooky went to in his video
Starting point is 00:22:09 because it was also there's a lot of them there's a chain yeah so the first impression is this is the brightest place I have ever been in my life it has the brightest halogen lights off on every corner of the ceiling on every shelf everywhere it is searing it is like walking into the electronic like hell of the it literally purifies your skin yes and then you wander up to the gate like there's restaurants at the top under the assumption that you're just going to spend the whole day here yeah for like to get a mental image man it's like if you go to a Best Buy but the floors are bigger and with then they're
Starting point is 00:22:54 densely packed with stuff much more dense and there's eight of them yeah like this thing's fucking massive yeah and spin spooky's video of it it was like very clear that this is like this is the culture is we need eight floors of electronics we'll build absolutely so you go up to the game aisle it's the not aisle sorry floor or and it's the best floor of anything I but you're salivating it's awesome isn't it because you go and you have your games your systems your extreme novelty items mm-hmm like your monster hunter 3ds case mm-hmm right next to that is all of your Jojo in the Jojo corner of course right
Starting point is 00:23:36 next to that is all of your your your boy romance novels next novels right where it should be it's it's it's like amazing everything you could ever want is right there mm-hmm and that's where the problem ran into too much choice I want I walked in there mm-hmm and I look over and every single wall is just covered with hey man you know what's out right now monster hunter 4g yeah out right now hey look at that that's a new 3ds right over there don't touch it just look at there right there right there and like Bayo's there like Wolf Bayo's will be there by the time I get back every every thing is there from wall to wall so I
Starting point is 00:24:19 end up just pacing back and forth in this camera store and long story short I may have made a stupid series of purchases oh I may be bringing back a new 3ds hunter and a couple of mountains of boy love novels yeah maybe maybe so what you're saying is that's not the now now now now now mount splash for take me there right yeah yes okay that's that's much it Matt so I'd like to announce the starting today Liam I'm gonna need your help learning Japanese I'm not gonna get really appreciate it I'll help with what little I can that being said like the new 3ds have any of you touched it anywhere okay so no but I want to ask did you get
Starting point is 00:25:05 the new 3ds or new 3ds XL I got the new 3ds okay did you see the thing that the new 3ds XL loads faster than the new 3ds no it does it does apparently notice noticeably there's a good comparison on Kotaku actually that's absurd it's absurd I can only assume the components are either too big to fit in the new 3ds or they didn't spring for them because they charge more for the XL wait for the bad news with a smile on your face well while he's still in Japan and can fix it if he so chooses no no I'm not gonna I'm not gonna quote unquote fix this no it's not a mistake I mean you know just that's weird to hear
Starting point is 00:25:44 because everything on the new 3ds like loads like way faster super quick yeah it's like like noticeable difference yeah but it's still like more than twice as fast as the old one yeah monster take advantage of any of the new stuff yeah it does not a lot but it's it's the standout game for the analog no it's the one they use in all the promotion yeah because that game desperately desperately desperately needs it and I'm like pseudo convinced that just like the pro controller for the Wii was pretty much invented for Monster Hunter try yeah like I'm more or less convinced that this analog nob exists purely for
Starting point is 00:26:23 Monster Hunter yeah there's a very good chance of that yeah if the country of Japan could not somehow physically support Monster Hunter Calcom would make it so that the government would have to attach something to the islands to make sure Monster Hunter could stay yeah like that's the power mm-hmm so the new 3ds like the smaller one yeah this is it's it feels a lot like the DS light in that this is the version that they should have come out with originally mm-hmm like this this is like there's nothing wrong with it and it has a bigger screen than the new than the original 3ds smaller than it has a really nice middle
Starting point is 00:27:01 ground that's not a perfect size screen it has the absolutely perfectly size screen where the original was too small mm-hmm and the XL is like freakishly too huge it stretches it way too much yeah yeah it's like oh yeah I really want to stare at this giant like inch wide pixel yeah this thing is perfect and it's the finish is Matt it's act they finally Matt yeah Matthew smart and gave it a matte finish yeah now did you buy a Monster Hunter like decal not decal what do they call the cover case there not the case but though the top clip on the face please face play that's the word ah no I didn't get
Starting point is 00:27:37 any face plates okay I I'm looking at it like this is already a really stupid decision right I'm not gonna I'm not gonna just throw more stupid on the pile besides the white and black ones look fantastic yeah yeah so it doesn't feel like real money it's free money willy the convention the conversion is not that difficult like it it makes sense yeah this isn't like I'm buying $500 worth of boxers and then realize oh wait this is $500 for the box see as funny as that is that was super exaggerated and they're nowhere near that much I don't know why no no no don't ruin it don't ruin the illusion they were like 30 to 40 bucks
Starting point is 00:28:15 each it wasn't that bad I bought six of them and their underwear they're really nice they're the nice how last are they gonna how long are they gonna last forever because I'm never wearing them again yeah exactly they're going up on the mantel there I'm gonna display them behind glass yeah I really appreciate the content warning in that video by the way guys thanks for that absolutely that's the reaction I was a reaction yeah no if anyone thought I had shame you were wrong no well you don't have any shame well why would anyone well exactly yeah cuz I was telling me that I got a
Starting point is 00:29:02 message from someone that was like really dude and I was like who in the world would I would say really to any of us yeah guys this channel is just like a slow countdown until it's just a penis mashed into a camera lens see like that's really our next you still have some integrity that's pretty hype you can escape well you can and then like even incredulously that somehow gets slapped with a content ID warning Nintendo owns that they own that and then they said no no no reaction no reaction just a soft man right into the lens we have our quarterly meetings
Starting point is 00:29:50 that's always the end goal and we see ourselves ticking towards there but you know absolutely right on the new shirt is just gonna be you managing with the chopsticks and everything oh man chopsticks are no problem yeah that's not an issue people in Japan are really impressed that like chopsticks but like we use you know that Japan has seen the fork but it's not like they're plowing 40 acres with a couple of pool cues but I believe like I believe like I don't know I see Pat as being the kind of guy that would just suffer some reason just get them and just well no do you think that cuz I have horrible stubby fingers that
Starting point is 00:30:30 aren't good for chopsticks saying yes that's exactly the reason why that answers that question that's how you get to Carnegie Hall you practice yeah as long as they don't bring you the pity knife and fork yeah no that hasn't happened yet because they have those usually meals are accompanied with chopsticks and then over to the side is this is like a box of Western utensils yeah like a whole case of them isn't it really cool how they just have a ton there so like hey you drop whatever I'll just get a new one you know yeah or you know let's get a new one you just have them no need to ask for replacements or
Starting point is 00:31:07 anything it's just handy but did you talk about the towels no but they're the best thing ever dude how did you not talk about my food towel there was just other stuff going on man I don't know but you're right tell them about every single restaurant like a proper sit down place a hot towel to wash your hands with before the meal and every single one and it's not like like a wet nap or anything like it's a towel it is it is the equivalent of a tiny barbers hot towel I never had two places in like North America I remember getting some sort of hot towel and I asked whoever I was with what the hell yeah and then
Starting point is 00:31:47 they're like oh it's just like a pre meal towel do I eat it am I supposed to eat the yeah no you don't do I'm supposed to eat the towel okay Pat you have to you have to start a camera and then just eat the next towel and see what everyone I'm not gonna eat the towels these nice wait for the camera you have to eat it or wash your back with it salt if you take off your shirt and wash your pits listen to you motherfuckers like kicked out of this country but they never got kicked out so maybe they're onto something yeah Pat gets back home on a dinghy I made it two years from now two years later oh that'd be nice I made it
Starting point is 00:32:31 hey guys unpack what I miss what's what's going on Marvel 5 came out they skipped 4 yeah is SNK still alive yeah well this Doki Doki Majo Shimpan 4 alive yeah yeah probably I've been seeing a lot of like near copies of that all over the place dude are you gonna hit up an on send because I highly recommend no no way I know I know it's a little uncomfortable but it's no way man I'm telling you the sensation is like nothing else it's a sense that no no way hell no no no that doesn't want to screw that Japanese people with his giant dick there you go that's not quite
Starting point is 00:33:17 exactly the sentiment but I'll take it I'm confused is this like a Japanese cuddle bar no it's a it's a it's a hot as the bath and it's just traditional it's a Honda snage oh okay okay okay that's all you had to say basically yeah every episode of every anime that's that play yeah that's that part where Takamura runs up to you and grabs your dick for no reason to make fun of how well-endowed you are that's big and shameful and meanwhile on the girl's side they're like oh my can't believe how big this one's boobs are but no honestly just the the hot spring like feeling it feels good oh you can't make
Starting point is 00:33:57 yeah I'm just saying you spent some money to get to the place I will fight you I said this before but do you want to relive the most memorable part of us or is wrath yeah I can't remember that part oh my god the part where you can see right up a sir his dad's butt yeah you just stare at girls and monkeys in his butt that's it that's literally it I was gonna say dude I'm gonna play more of the search and then burst everywhere don't yeah first thing with the trains dude the pat is that as confusing and as terrible as it is when you get on the wrong one and don't get where you want to go yeah look at the
Starting point is 00:34:37 grand scheme of things it's just this perfect harmonious movement of yeah you're right it's the tightest shit ever run unbelievable like I thought it was like just me and my girlfriend who can't figure out the trains right that's what I originally thought like we're not from here can't figure it out right mm-hmm so that I'm having I'm having drinks with a guy who lives in our guest house right and I ask him hey man do you understand the trains no really nobody understands the fucking train I never I'm not gonna lie I never really had any problems with them at all like it went pretty well I hate you Liam you
Starting point is 00:35:17 know just just take your time check check recheck you know don't get on the wrong train everyone's making Pat feel bad he should feel bad he's not seems to be the theme of this friend he should feel great just okay this is the way this is how the friend cast ever felt the weirdest guilt I'm not getting to the get naked get into the back figure out the train good this is not what I expected I signed up for this you're gonna have to take a bath on the train yeah it'll be fine eat the towel promote they'll promote when the police bring you in sight cultural differences yeah make sure to
Starting point is 00:35:55 get on the woman-only train while you're doing that oh god remember that part you really laughed at Godzilla where he's waiting in the police station and then there's this weird couple that go up and they bring their goth son like there's yelling out of in Japanese and he's all like yeah I'm gonna be going down to Kyoto and Universal Studios in the next couple days if I'm lucky I'll get to see that biohazard thing yeah I hope it's still there it is currently still there it just matters whether or not I get to it
Starting point is 00:36:37 okay that'd be really sick you gotta you gotta manage that if I was there visit Japan and only want to go from one day and that's on Tom Cruise day I just want to see it what's funny like gigantic balloon being brought down the streets it's just a big smile universal and where I live is like a special thing to I always saw the the raccoon city biohazard stuff at Universal Japan in SoCal Universal and we're all gonna be going next Sunday they're doing Alien vs. Predator yeah a VP maze of like a crash ship a maze video tour of that it was like face-huggers that all and I vials and stuff I'm totally trying to
Starting point is 00:37:24 like unspoiler myself so I'm not like watching anything I'm just gonna walk into it yeah no I did I did pretty much the exact same thing with the biohazard thing I know that it's there yeah and I've seen like four screens like the photos people come in and off the street have photos photographs yeah like people being attacked and like I don't know what I don't want to know what this is I don't want to know what it is max how's your week man what you've been playing what you've been up to pretty good I I like like you guys I went on a vacation pretty recently I just sat on a beach in the Bahamas for about 10 days
Starting point is 00:37:56 and did almost nothing and it was fairly beautiful and and then that time frame I got back and smashed 3ds came out I've been playing the Japanese one for a while so I was already kind of well first and outside of that killer instinct season 2 took up a lot of my week and for the weekend we played evil within for about eight hours so far into our place you're streaming then 60 frames per second dude so very easily you can get the PC version to take away the stupid black bars with with a small modification and as well as the console command to make it run at 60 and the game looks infinitely better like to the
Starting point is 00:38:38 point of which I'm pissed it does like why why why on that well I'm sorry the other thing that makes it look amazing you can take off the bullshit color filter that the entire game has yeah I never it's just there's a color filter that changes from area to area and it's just always filters everything it's always like blue or brown yeah blue or brown or yellow or yeah you know how like Ari five places look really good but some places just it's kind of a big garish exactly Ari 5 had that green filter in the first area yeah and you can just take it off the whole game and Ari 5 actually has color like when you when you look at
Starting point is 00:39:12 it without it so if you take that off do the frame per second thing take off the stupid black bars the game actually looks great I could see why that there's a chance you could run into some for performance issues yeah yeah that's what I was gonna ask is the specific wording is you can play at 60 FPS there may be some quirks like like grass anything like I say physics wise yeah like the grass might freak out sometimes in some areas like all goes in one direction it's like well the grass is definitely moody today but like a negligible kind of stuff yeah something doesn't affect like gameplay you know the
Starting point is 00:39:46 game has its own little quirks you know it's not exactly as polished as like an Ari 4 played like eight hours of it yeah and I really about like halfway done so it's a long-ass game it's it's pretty long yeah it took me like 13 hours to beat it but um outside of that yeah we played Shadow the Hedgehog for the first time good good good which was just easily the worst part of the last six years in my life and you play Sonic 06 Max so I played Sonic 06 in 06 like okay I got it in 06 and I got fucking silver to get me locked up into a corner wide pick up my own ring repeatedly and get stuck on an infinite
Starting point is 00:40:28 loop of you know it's no use it's no use that happened to everyone I think and I thought it was just me and that as I was happening I'm like this game is garbage like in in 2006 so yeah we're gonna revisit that I'm not sure this are a video but we we chose the opportunity to play Sonic 06 for the first time at PAX Prime live live and it was it was great that that game is the most busted piece of shit ever I was way worse than shadow like yeah there's yeah there's games that are like like hilariously bad like there's just this game is so bad we can just riff off the entire thing and it's gonna be so much
Starting point is 00:41:04 fun to play how bad it is and then there's Shadow the Hedgehog which is just fuck bad like I just don't want to anymore so yeah that's about it yeah sure I I just want to ask since like you touched on them briefly and I mentioned it earlier what do you think of Ki season 2 and smash 3ds well I was I was gonna start with smash and say like who you meaning oh mega man all day every day like I've actually gotten good with them now even though he doesn't play like a smash character really he plays like Mega Man you know he plays like a 2d version of Mega Man which is very cute but it doesn't help
Starting point is 00:41:42 when almost like every character I seem to fight has a projectile counter and they like throwing my forward smash back into my own face and I'm like yeah but it's it's it's challenging at the same time I've never been really good at a smash brothers game I feel right and this is the first time I feel like I'm understanding how things work like I am KOing everyone with back airs you know and making that happen and and it's a lot of fun and it really helps that the netcode of this game is fucking sick like it's good and Namco did a really good job with the netcode you're coming off what is probably the most disappointing
Starting point is 00:42:16 netcode of like the last generation is true exactly like the expectations could not have been set lower I know it works man yeah and they're they they did something like I immediately could tell when we were playing the e3 builds of the 3d version 3ds version and the Wii U version the game has a natural like frame buffer put into it like the entire game there's like a little stored two or three frames where your inputs just go and things just come out two or three frames slower and they use that to back buffer the netcode so when you go online it doesn't feel as bad because they just use that that's what they do for Soul
Starting point is 00:42:54 Calibur and and Tekken and it works it actually works pretty good that's why a lot of Tekken tag players hate playing the console version compared to the arcade because they're okay but it it's it's fantastic like I actually like playing against Japanese players more because their connections are way better than most American players even from the West Coast even from West Coast to Japan those matches are way smoother so hey so I should mention something about Japan I got here and my girlfriend has this Wi-Fi thing that we've been carrying around they're amazing aren't they this Wi-Fi thing that costs like thirty five
Starting point is 00:43:28 dollars is faster than my fucking internet at home exactly this just gives you and it runs on 3g yeah no north america's internet house with it garbage dude it's it's I'm playing I'm paying three or four times as much for a wired connection that I can't leave with how big is it like a ghostbusters backpack no it's like a cell phone oh it is the size it is smaller than my cell phone holy shit this is bullshit it's it's yeah we have third world internet compared to some other places yeah I still I still have horrible internet where I live in California California is like any sort of central
Starting point is 00:44:10 hub for computers or anything no no it's all flash and thunder riots and earthquakes yeah are you one thing I was gonna say like I guess I'll talk about it a bit more when I'm playing what I'm talking about my week but with the 3ds smash like I'm having a lot of fun with it but a big problem that I'm just can't really get over is the controls oh yeah I'm dying for a gamecube pad because like the first day of playing I broke my stick oh really you're one of the really did it yeah my stick is busted man and it's like I'm like one you know so like it just made it extra worthy trying to play with a nub with your
Starting point is 00:44:57 giant man paws I'm not I'm I'm taking it I'm taking it slowly do small you know and it's still it let now when I do a character select you hit it in any direction just a slight tilt and it keeps going his stick doesn't stay centered and oh so the whole analog I have no dental the whole analog yeah I have no dead zone it's fucked congratulations you destroyed your 3ds thing the new 3ds comes out in 2015 right yeah perfect timing with the announcement it's a good thing that you can you don't worry we have a console version for you like you know yeah we're gonna break everyone's 3ds
Starting point is 00:45:33 sell them only I remember the Wii U version and make them buy a new 3ds got you in their pincer you fell into their pace I remember vividly before leaving you and I were talking and I said you know with all of the the weird niggling issues on smash 3ds particularly the controls you would be better off to just wait and you said fuck you Pat that's crazy I'm gonna play that shit the can I still agree with your 3ds yeah but I'm still playing it yeah on my broke I'm used I'm like using my garbage little Mac that I can't forward smash because I'm already holding forward like you know and it and whatever I'm
Starting point is 00:46:18 still doing it yeah whenever somebody asks about the game I'm like get get a 3ds XL like if you were thinking about upgrading or something like that like get an XL this the screen size helps a lot too I would say the same thing except like I feel bad because the new 3ds is like right around the corner it's the problem like I tried playing it on my vanilla 3ds just just for shits and oh my god oh it's I don't want to say it's unplayable but it's it's pretty significantly hard I would play against like friends that have it right that's where a lot of my complaints about the screen size was because I use a 2ds
Starting point is 00:46:52 usually oh yeah so that would be vanilla 3ds size yeah yeah let's take a quick word from our sponsors guys what if what if I told you what that like Halloween's nice right it's a good time all that Halloween is pretty nice your family for a week yeah yeah you're a kid you go out to people's houses you get the candy everything's fun okay Dory but what if you could instead of handing out a candy and someone a box a box and inside that box is fear itself well Jesus that's an opportunity I take up like is it a heart is like what it what no that is fear the metaphysical embodiment of fear itself yeah I think
Starting point is 00:47:39 you're full of shit woolly well I'm not because loot crate is offering fear this week or this month rather in the October theme or offering a world war two combat specialist that it is a box of scary things it's coming to your house and once again if you sign up at loot crate comm slash super and use the promo code super you will enjoy every month a box of themed goodies nerdy stuff good stuff as horrible as your imagination of geek horror items can possibly be yes soon wait it's gonna be a can of peanuts and you open it and there's one of those snakes that bounces out at you that is fear I gotta I got a
Starting point is 00:48:25 question guys in fear is it spelled with a three oh I can only hope I wish but sadly we're not actually that's what I was looking for okay we're good what's what's the level of fear we're talking about here is this like fear like Liam said with the the snake in the box or is this fear that will take you to your core and comes with a bag to clean off your pants with the lurking horror of what could be in the box with the dread as you open it I imagine it's like yeah like you know the corn peanuts whatever yeah and it comes out but then the snake actually bites you yeah and blood goes everywhere and like it spills horror and

Starting point is 00:49:53 treating you okay I season two it's funny because at the end of season one I kind of like didn't get a chance to play a lot of the end of season one so jump into like the lion's den in a way and you got all these dudes that are freaking amazing and you got to learn fast but it's it's it's a lot I'd like to say the same and different than season one the season two characters definitely feel a lot different than season one characters they they're kind of like Maya and TJ TJ's got some you know goofy easy fun stuff like just powerlining everyone like crazy but he's also got like a lot of freaking moves like he's almost as
Starting point is 00:50:29 high as like a tech in character yeah yeah yeah because it's because when we played a many three years just like every button is a different something and when they're in a combo they also do different things yeah I cancel it it does more stuff that's like and he's got command grabs and he's got like invincibility on punches and like it's got command grabs you can combo out of like he's not there's a lot going on yeah there's and there's almost like too much going on I felt with TJ and then Maya doesn't have nearly as many moves she's got like maybe five or so like uppercuts fireball stuff like that but
Starting point is 00:51:02 her she's a character that requires you to go and get things you know like I have to go and recover stuff off the ground the daggers actually not too different from that joke me and Willie put in fighter pedia about like cross deck and had so many systems that there would be like resource man people mining best being gas Maya Maya plays like that because you can kind of play or like don't use your daggers that much and just try to do kicks but then you're not playing like 80% of the character yeah have to learn this like mechanic that's really like the most expanded upon Cody shit ever yeah
Starting point is 00:51:37 exactly imagine Cody was useless without his knife like I have absorbed materia on my second dagger that's how in depth it's getting but she's fun it's just she's she's kind of hard to just to jump in and just get good with her because she she can be sort of stiff just like walking around she's got a really slow walk speed and dash speed yeah she does but if you do like her forward jumping thing she becomes like this freaking squirrel like all of a sudden and she's just everywhere so there's a little bit of a she's like a seven out of ten you know Spinal's like a nine out of ten or a full goers like an
Starting point is 00:52:10 eight and she's like right under him you know what I mean I was about because I was about to say like spinal and full gore like I think like all those new characters when they popped up everyone kind of went ah how do I do what what exactly so it's more of that kind of thing it's kind of it kind of is TJ I feel is like maybe a five maybe a six like saber wolf is at the bottom at like a three or two yeah exactly but right now I don't know about the next character you said something in your in one of your videos I think we were talking about ripter or a cinder yeah is that you really hope that iron galaxy
Starting point is 00:52:42 puts in like another three yes no absolutely like another just plain rush down yeah totally there there needs to be some other guy that like people can just like hopefully you'll be sender or ripter because yeah I character I press back forward and buttons and I get combos and and stuff yeah I feel ripped or ripped or should be that and then sender should be one level above that you know what I mean because they're both like this the staple boys of season two or I'm sorry ripters a chick my bad yeah we getting that but yeah it's they need to be easier to use I hope but if they're complicated regardless I
Starting point is 00:53:20 just hope they look cool you know when Maya does her stuff like and it's working it looks really cool and it's a lot of fun but when you throw a dagger and you lose it it's like oh man I saw that Maya trailer like Premier at TGS it kind of blew my mind a little and I was like oh my god why is this like why is an American game blowing my mind so backwards with the Maya trailer is incredible I have faith because I mean like if you can take a skeleton and dress them up like that and make the badass that is yeah final yeah I think you can take fire dude well and do something interesting with it oh yeah
Starting point is 00:53:55 with enough you know that that was that was double helix I have but I have a hundred percent but have you seen Maya in combo no like well no I do think that they started development at at double helix frankly my yeah maybe I think we'll have to wait and see the other characters yeah I was one of the most nothing characters of originally yeah in Ki two so now when me and Willie saw Maya for the first time we were like oh my god like did you guys see the you know like Kevin Bayless the guy that did all the original art for Ki and the characters and everything he's doing the costumes for season 2 like the alternate not
Starting point is 00:54:40 alternate costumes yeah I can't wait to see those because I think he said in a tweet or something like recently like or maybe it was Keats but they're just like you can't you guys won't believe like TJ's retro costume TJ's leak like that TJ's actually on the forums here I'll grab the link while I'm talking about it so I can just show you guys in in the good yeah sure okay yeah see cuz Matt sent me a link to the thing where like you can dress up TJ like fucking kick yes and I was like oh and Kimbo slice like it's great he looks more like Kimbo slice than Kimbo slice yes he does it's the Kimbo slice we have in our
Starting point is 00:55:19 heads so just can Willie look up upon a star and wish and pray that maybe other dive kit characters maybe a certain other one yeah lightning guy can look like the other lightning guy maybe they both have white eyes I swear to God the blue silhouette was Zubas that would be nice Willie goddamn we would collectively lose our shit for seven days and nights so I drop it in there you guys can take a look at it if you want I'm pretty happy with it okay cuz cuz you and I also feel the same about TJ's general look yeah like the default is like fine but I wish it could look like it actually no no I like I like it not bad it's just not
Starting point is 00:56:03 that is ridiculously exciting you know fighting it's Balrog beating like fighting black guy I think it's a bit less than Balrog washed up fighting black guy TJ come on fighting to get paid that's always the black guy motivation but it's except for King Cobra it all comes down to shoes at the end and they had to cancel King Cobra because his motivations were different what is dude look at the concept art so that's okay that's basically TJ combo from killing KI yeah so I'm gonna throw the link in for the people for people while who's we're listening at home but it's he's got like camo pants and boots yeah
Starting point is 00:56:55 and the eye patch what red white and blue striped like tattered like it looks like he's got robot hands which I'm digging and he's got it like a like a sleekly little American tank top and the eye and the eye patch now in the deep KI lore TJ combo had beef with ripter and I think it was establishing K2 that a ripter is the one that took his eye out oh yeah but TJ like killed ripter or something like that yeah he killed her dad kill killed that's that's not a great like rendering like he looks kind of goofy and cartoon well it's yeah it's really very stylized but I'll I'll I'll play that costume yeah it's
Starting point is 00:57:43 pretty it's pretty hype I'm actually a big fan of it already yeah cuz it makes him a little more not just boxer guy like to have both sides of it from the bottom down that is what alt thunder has as well kind of camo boots yeah yeah so it's like army bros fighting that's a good team it is that's a good team well if you walk by those fights in season three you know you'll appreciate it oh my god those two fighting in like the factory stage but what game is this you know anything like hi at that point yeah small soldiers so thanks for letting us on that I had no idea that that week yeah yeah this is drop somewhere along
Starting point is 00:58:24 the line and some guy threw it to me I was like holy god I like it it's like straight Robocop I like it Liam how was your week man my week was pretty solid I guess so like two main things I want to talk about first one is evil within evil within is really good I really like that game a lot it starts off super fucking slow oh I so agree with you after I think the first chapters abysmal yeah I so agree with you for clarity I've beaten the game twice now so like I've played it quite a bit it follows the formula of like horror action games so Resident Evil 4 through revelations Dead Space 1 through 3 you know those kind of
Starting point is 00:59:06 games to a tee and of course like the county kind of invented the new game plus loop that is so popular in those games and I know people who really enjoy replaying those games a lot like myself are finding that it is excellent especially in the post game where like you go through and you know the weaknesses of every enemy and you blitz it now you know like a specific powerup that you get and I was like whoa that sounds good yeah for example like when you beat the game you start unlocking extra weapons and one of them is like brass knuckles and your melee becomes good and your melee becomes are you
Starting point is 00:59:37 serious yeah absolutely the game like becomes way funner on the replay on the first playthrough like I definitely think it's weaker than say RE4 but not worse than like not worse than RE6 you know yeah somewhere around are you what about RE5 somewhere around RE5 but there's no co-op bullshit so great your mileage may vary right that's funny how good RE5 became after 6 came out kind of amazing amazing experience with RE5 where I played locally online with my roommate who had his TV right next to mom oh that's awesome and we had an amazing time with RE5 I don't know anybody who's ever played that game
Starting point is 01:00:17 without without co-op well I tried to play it alone and I was like oh I beat that game of four times by myself seriously did you have the same impression that you kind of liked it or did you so so I went through and I was like this is fantastic but I couldn't love it because the co-op like issues with Sheva yeah everywhere the problem wasn't even like her attacking or dying it was just the inventory management between like you and her and like using ammo mm-hmm but like yeah you're completely right where like it came out and everyone's like even though it was really good it's like it's not as good
Starting point is 01:00:57 as RE4 yeah and then RE5 RE6 came out and you got to see like how bad it could be without Makami there yeah and you got this swell of appreciation for like RE5 was actually really great action game yeah I said it before I'll say it again the only good thing in that game is mercenaries like the mercenaries are you six amazing I'd say RE6 Leon's beginning campaign everything before you go to China like in Leon's campaign is okay the beginning of Leon's like some parts of Adas and specific parts of Chris's yeah it's balls to the wall action kind of like mercenaries play really well the other stuff I never
Starting point is 01:01:38 touched anyone's campaign after I see Leon's like I never just go if you ever want to play it boot it up the Ada thing has been patched to be unlocked by default play Adas yeah the best one that thing you're saying though about like playing local with your roommate yeah I had a similar experience with the Castlevania harmony of despair right yeah it's like the game most people just went fuck right but I played it locally with two roommates and we were all in the same house like yelling at each other from room to room playing together and just had like an artificially better experience because that's the best
Starting point is 01:02:11 possible setup yeah um otherwise it's weird though what you're saying with the the fact that you have to do a loop first before you start getting into the good like I said most people will not even do that well I guess like this is kind of coming from a perspective of like a guy who like replays these horror action games many times like right like Dead Space 2 is one of my favorite games of all time along I got to play those games man you're like completely right incredible games and you got to play them over and over because they get better and better as you get better at them okay and like you know like I said
Starting point is 01:02:46 it's weaker than RE4 on the first playthrough probably somewhere around RE5 and like it has its own identity it doesn't yeah as much as it basically has Pyramid Headman and it basically plays like Resident Evil, modern Resident Evil um yeah and the chainsaw guy yeah it doesn't like after I played through it twice I didn't feel like I was looking at it and just saying oh it's just that's like a Resident Evil guidance I didn't feel like that it has its own feel you know you're using environmental items a lot more like the torches and the matches and the bottles and stuff there's a lot more importance placed on like
Starting point is 01:03:23 knowing how to handle enemies specifically yeah whereas in like Resident Evil you can more or less just blast them shoot them in the head space yeah and Dead Space just cut off the limbs until they die but in this one there's a bit more strategy with the bolts like the crossbow bolts the agony bolts and it's a really fun game definitely a bit rougher around the edges than are like all those re's and Dead Spaces except for Dead Space 3 one of the ways that we end up like describing the game is like usually by saying it's RE4 and another game and I'm completely sure with saying evil within is RE4 and eternal
Starting point is 01:03:55 darkness put together yeah like if I had to pick another game to go with Resident Evil 4 for that definitely eternal darkness it's yeah and holy shit the thing that it does where it constantly switches environments of you is on you is so seamless yeah okay so I have to ask sure you mentioned environmental switching and that you've beaten the game twice yeah I played maybe the I played the first chapter and I stopped when I saw the very first zombie or haunted or whatever the fuck they're called yeah and it and it was a like of incredibly clear homage to the first yeah so what with this this game being
Starting point is 01:04:33 kind of RE4-ish I have to ask just like RE5 did it does this go Village Castle Island it definitely goes Village okay it it does have like a bunch of distinct areas I wouldn't say it's so cut and dry as as that because you you end up like returning to areas because it's all chunks of people's minds right so like not as cut and dry as Village Castle Island but like there is a progression and there is kind of like I like it's hard to dance around it there's a lot of variety that's for sure there's a lot of variety and there's more variety than there was in RE4 as far as environments go right it's it's very good
Starting point is 01:05:18 at that actually so yeah I wouldn't want to spoiler anything but it's it's really kind of crazy like playing this game and just under a month ago I played through Bayo 2 and you have these two kind of like ex Capcom masters you got like yeah yeah and his team like you know and the guys that Kamiya taught making Bayo 2 and then you have Mikami coming back and doing kind of the same thing that he always kind of does yeah and both games are just riddled with references just absolutely like everywhere there's just nods to old stuff I mean I don't want to spoiler anything and evil with them but there's some stuff that it's like oh shit
Starting point is 01:05:53 like oh my god this is awesome it's really good lots of great homages in there you're totally totally right I guess like my only like real complaints is like yeah the letterboxing kind of sucks I after the first playthrough I kind of got used to it when I was just like blasting through it so that kind of sucks there's no like mercenaries eskimo there's no you love your mercs but there's only the campaign right I don't know you're I don't want online multiplayer but there's no challenge you know it's just the campaign yeah and it's fun but that's all there is to it and if you don't want cutscenes tough get
Starting point is 01:06:26 cutscenes you can skip most of them but whatever yeah I'm excited for the DLC I hope it I hope it varies that because you get to play as a safe head man and the female detective and there's some other stuff no no Tetris attack puzzle style yeah exactly oh man resneal sex you had that shit down the DLC down and the other thing for me this week I'm gonna try to talk quickly about it was the PlayStation TV came out last week and I had some time to like really sit down and use it for a full week the PlayStation TV the PlayStation TV it's taken me a long time to get away from calling it the Vita TV but you know
Starting point is 01:07:01 get in there finally here so is it still useless to us well it has HGCP so until until we get around it yes so it is a terrible media box for the time being if you're if you're looking for a media box wait wait until that gets the support because Hulu's not there but they said they're coming okay Netflix has said two different things from two different people it's coming the media we're supporting it and the other one said what exactly like crunchy rolling crackle other two crackle crackles got all right stuff but it's so it's restricted because I did see that you're like oh you're getting ready your
Starting point is 01:07:41 second one and I was like yeah same here I was gonna grab the second one somebody else got it yeah exactly but you're saying now that on the media box side of on the media box it's really weak right now but you know multiple companies have said we're gonna support it and you know that's one of the things that Sony has managed to keep supporting on the Vita is having apps coming out that are like media apps so you know the the media support will come but for now the media supports terrible as far as like it being a console on a budget it's great obviously like look at the compatibility list if you want to play
Starting point is 01:08:16 Teraway and Gravity Rush don't get one yeah you know you want a proper Vita but if you just want to play Persona 4, Danganronpa, Velocity, Tails, Freedom Wars whatever it's a hundred bucks like it fits the price as long as you've got a controller and you're going physical yeah so really give me back my Vita yeah but like for like there's three groups of people I think this is really good for number one is obviously like the Vita diehards like the power users who buy like two games a month plus PlayStation Plus where it's just like people who love the Vita will get a lot out of this and they'll enjoy just being
Starting point is 01:08:56 able to go back and forth I know I tried playing Killzone Mercenary and just transferring my data back and forth and playing it on the Metro and then playing it at home works really seamlessly and I was really happy with that I think kids will get a lot out of it and like to that end it's just a cheap console to buy for kids it's the cheapest way to get Minecraft at the kids hand right if you want them to have their own hardware and not buy them a computer this is the cheapest way to do it so and like otherwise again it's for people who want like three or four Vita exclusives but don't want to shell out 200 plus
Starting point is 01:09:29 dollars for the hardware itself and I want to play them at home yeah on my TV on your TV you know that said I would still recommend the handheld console because you know gravity rush tear away and stuff but you know you still get sole sacrifice on Freedom Waters and Killzone and like there's so many games that are still supported that I I think it's a good machine but no the compatibility list or you're disappointed right yeah Liam how does it look what does it output to well yeah okay so it the Vita runs at 540p so QHD and that looks fantastic on the like less than five inch Vita screen this is
Starting point is 01:10:05 outputting at 720 or 1080i if you hate good resolutions okay and it's 540 stretched to 720 so some games like and I popped in a few to check like Project Eva persona Killzone these games look great they look you know obviously it's not native 720 but they look pretty damn good being scaled up I was really surprised games that don't look good like order lands look worse than they've ever looked terrible but like even games that are like just under native resolution like soul sacrifice Delta they still held up and I was I was pleased with it you know even though it's below you know 720 it still looks pretty good
Starting point is 01:10:47 you know for reference it's looking better than a week you know so Liam when you say it goes to 720 you mean it fills up the entire television screen yeah absolutely yeah and also yeah if you play PSP games on it you do get the full screen as opposed to just a little tiny chunk that's awesome because I remember games at 480 exactly what they were outputted at you know and it's looks good it's a handy machine yeah so you know good good this thing always seemed like it was gonna be really interesting for me and then I I just started downloading PlayStation one games on PlayStation Network when I needed them
Starting point is 01:11:25 yeah like if you have that already is there really any reason to go and get it um no like if you know again I think this is really for the people who again want to play a couple of the Vita exclusives and don't want to shell out 200 plus you don't already have a ps3 controller lying around or whatever yeah it still doesn't support the DualShock 4 oh it does but I'm assuming this is someone with not a ton of money and okay but yeah if you have a DualShock 4 by all means that works and I have a DualShock 4 but not a that's true you do yeah and you can use the touchpad on the DS4 as a replacement for the front
Starting point is 01:12:00 touchscreen on the Vita so that does really you can you totally can a lot of like there's a lot of like outright misinformation in some reviews like the gizmodo review is terrible because it's got like just huge mistakes but you can totally do that and like there's a lot of stuff that people are saying you can't do but you totally can okay it's a it's a solid machine I was surprised I was expecting worse frankly but again don't expect you know it's a bargain machine it's a hundred bucks and you get what you pay for it's not a ps4 it's not top of the line 1080p every game on the market it's it's there for the people who want
Starting point is 01:12:37 it for these couple of purposes and for those couple of purposes it fits it really well you know okay but otherwise you know yeah yeah check the compatibility that's the end rule anyway fun device good stuff cool as as far as my week goes not not too much I was just basically playing catch up with all the shit that I missed while I was abroad the Hyrule Warriors yeah Hyrule Warriors crammed in um that's that's something that I'm really I'm having fun with it but I'm really really glad that I have I didn't touch Muso games before this yeah because like the formula is fresh to me you know what I mean like I've never had
Starting point is 01:13:18 to I never played any similar games except for I guess guilty here overture similar thing played the Fist of the North Star ones just as a curiosity I just yeah I played the demo and I wasn't impressed by the word played really yeah no I touched the demo and I wasn't impressed by it yeah and oh yeah and I randomly James Small message me is like guilty your overture is a game that if you revisit it apparently has a lot going on and I'm like we're all right yeah don't listen to his lies I want to find out I want to find that I'm curious but no Hyrule Warriors is fun and I'm really I guess one thing I was
Starting point is 01:14:00 expecting more of was I didn't think the the enemies because okay the the the crowds they move in no the crowds of moblins and whatever like they don't it they're nothing they're just paper they're not real move like water you know they're there for is to kill them to take over a keep yes yeah but and then you see the actual enemies the guys you can lock on to captain's yeah you know and like I'm once you're fighting one of those guys I was expecting a bit more of a fight and not really just a dodge wait for the opening and now slash last last well while you block to bait them to sure but the main component but the
Starting point is 01:14:34 big bosses that kind of resemble more of the the Zelda formula style boss is a giant and that stuff you have to use an item drop them down and open them up you know yeah feels a bit more like but these the captains I really just found a lot of them are just universally like just stand around wait for them to miss a common last what they are and then go that's flashing I was hoping for a bit more to the combat sure um you know probably a real friend and play co-op and you'll have a good time I guess I did you know I really really like this version of Impa like only did you did you did you get Impa's Naginata no yeah that
Starting point is 01:15:20 weapon is way more fun to use it's way more fun until you finish it's way more fun until you unlock all the moves for the big Goron Sword and you're like no I was wrong but because I'm almost maxed out on her moves of the big Goron yeah and that like the jump that the all the water teleport things are just so fucking cool um I really really hate Lana of course you do she's just like she's nothing it's fanfiction man yeah it's the whole game is already fanfiction and then it's like fanfiction to a 10th degree yeah yes exactly and to the point where you're like okay how bad of a Mary Sue is this well now the three of them
Starting point is 01:16:06 are doing the Triforce forget Gannon Lana's got the Triforce of Power she's the Poochie and she's the one and like it wouldn't even be as bad if I could stand looking at her right but her design her design is so just super robot Wars OG like forgettable character yeah you know hair flip hair flip colors random though is that one of her attacks have like like Deku shit and Kokiri stuff I'm like no give that to someone else give that to Saria Saria I actually spear give that to Saria she's dead for a reason I could get 100% not care about the character because she has some of those movies I'm like I want to see them
Starting point is 01:16:49 occasionally yeah yeah yeah exactly did you get her third move list I don't think third oh no their third weapon she's got the books and then the Deku spear and then her third weapon and that is really okay okay all right um I don't think it's gonna turn us around on how stupid yeah her character design is terrible but it's like oh wow that is a really fucking unless you say it's like Cestus or like at me and Rudra link as well has a really cool weapon that I think max might know about but it's not common knowledge yet so yeah I will warriors is interesting because it's like the best looking Zelda as well now like
Starting point is 01:17:32 technically yeah yeah just everything like art and design wise to a lot of this stuff just looks great and I want I want to folk I want a big Zelda game please please can we yeah yeah I also I'm also gonna like just I want to dump on that moment of we need now that we're doing Zelda fanfiction let's take dumb anime tropes and stick them in Zelda which didn't have any exposure to this before so hey link you're getting a little bit cocky you're getting a little bit fool yourself with the master sword well don't forget that the power of friendship is the real way to burp that fucking power of friendship moment
Starting point is 01:18:11 is the most bullshit now look that's bad and it doesn't fit a Zelda game but it does fit a mooso game well that you have to work together when I was a bunch of people what I told woolly last night is think about Tecmo Koei and their writing they did not have to write samurai warriors or dynasty warriors true that history already exists the other stuff is crossover stuff and like warriors Orochi which is it's fanfiction it's just fanfiction well I like the only game that has any competent writing from them as far as I'm concerned is Tokiden but even then it's not amazing so they've never been like no I just know that
Starting point is 01:18:48 while the friendship thing is stupid like in terms of the the context of the gameplay oh you have to be over there or helping us out certainly but I just I front it's fucking dumb just everyone jumps in and blocks them and they look and they pick them up I don't like it's like what did you expect man just just vanilla Zelda you know no doesn't have any more characters than just link and it's like it's like they kept link silent and they gave him proxy because if he started talking he'd be talking about protecting things also also the fairies fucking name is proxy yeah like that's great I love it no I love it
Starting point is 01:19:28 too but besides that I mean you know the combos are fucking nuts and they're great they're fun to look at they're fun to do yeah and again and is the coolest I've I can't fucking oh he's so cool that hair so that yeah man that's it you know really fun game like yeah that's it you know I've been alternating between the game pad dropping it picking up smash for I like I explained to you guys that broke my stick on that and so I can't fully really appreciate it but what do you think now you've got a week to sink your well yeah I really mmm that control man that control shoes my biggest gripe beyond that there's
Starting point is 01:20:09 definitely I'm feeling what you were talking about with if this is supposed to be the single-player version why is there not why is that much stuff it feels kind of bare bones right hey guess what it is bare bones it's a shame because I love smash so much and I feel pretty bummed by that you know you talked about how that Angry Birds replacement for board the platforms was terrible and then I grabbed it and played it like wow you undersold that yeah it's really terrible like oh my god I can't believe they thought that was a suitable replacement I could only imagine they didn't have enough time because I don't
Starting point is 01:20:44 want to imagine a worse scenario where he thought that was better than break the targets and you know something I always used to do back in the day when I was just kind of bored and wanted to have some fun was jump over to slow mo melee or just go do that and I was like let me go do that it's like no it's not there you can't you can go to training mode and slow it down I guess the guy who told me I was misinformed because if you just play through smash run you basically get special smash no that's different that is completely different in melee and brawl I didn't have to play a seven minute thing to play a round of
Starting point is 01:21:20 stamina and I got to pick a round of stamina on top of it yeah um I well I mean I'm gonna give some credit where it's due yeah master core is great master core is probably the best thing in that that entire like classic mode that final sequence is beautiful I really enjoy yeah the way that ends it's like you go through all the forms and then the final form he's a man and then after you beat the man you got to break the smash ball yeah smash it out of the stage to win like I'm like that's great that's what they all should have been just imagine how it's gonna look on the Wii U version it's gonna look like even
Starting point is 01:21:51 better I'm looking for it should mm-hmm I'm hoping that like they surprise us in the Wii U version has a different boss not that I don't love solid snake yeah and draw that'd be nice you know and then Liam we're briefly discussing what was going on with some of those new characters and stuff and you kind of look at it and you go like okay so bunch of sword dudes over here alright that's fine they're coming from different places and whatnot but how many people have a fucking down be counter like there's like there's like a lot and it's not that I don't like the counter because it's a cool move yeah you couldn't
Starting point is 01:22:25 have done something fresher you know and all of the counters are like the startup seem to be more or less identical except for Ike's yeah yeah and Shulk's is just bad yeah Shulk's is slow but it chaos really hard it's really strong yeah but like I've had it like with all the other like the sword guys I'll do the counter and at least I'll hit but I've had Shulk miss his like a dozen times mm-hmm I didn't know I just completely like I suppose I'm paying attention but I didn't realize that they changed two of Sheik's moves the side being down be are not totally different and yeah so no more transforming the
Starting point is 01:23:01 Zelda of course you know and you get the little like like table hopper kick flip thing well I don't know what this means keep talking about table it's the new term for head jumping you know it's incorrect it's the best either that or Chun Lee's headstone but you know that and I was like that's a cool change there but for the most part just yeah not not a ton of like variety with some of the most of the characters remained fairly unchanged like in the grand scheme of things fairly unchanged there are change there are significant changes like Mario's a good example where like most of his moves
Starting point is 01:23:37 have a lot of different properties yeah but like it is not SF3 review to SF4 review right no it is not it is not smash 64 to melee and it's not melee to brawl it's brawl like guilty your accent core to guilty your accent core reload or yeah yeah exactly and I totally am like I understand how characters like dark pit get thrown in when it's like look we just it makes it's inexpensive we have the assets we can do it the cap rate right I understand that but when you do it at least do it like Fox Falco Wolf don't do this thing where there what's the difference between well I was gonna say I was the side B has a different
Starting point is 01:24:17 element that's it I was gonna say I'm a little bummed because I like playing Lucina but like she is the most negligibly different yeah very very very um anyway it's weird because Alf and the eight Koopalings and Wario's other costume and little Max other costume they're all just alternate costumes the eight Koopalings should have been one character where they're all stacked on top of each other that have been fun like that remember those three little cannibals in one of the clay fighter games possibly falling or they're like that that business kid from Bojack Horseman if I could have a stack of
Starting point is 01:25:05 characters that were Koopas I then want the Koopa bros from Paper Mario and the thing is to like they got rid of like characters like that with switching and Pokemon and all that stuff like they they just never made everyone their memory because of memory issues memory issues okay makes sense um something you notice too a lot of characters lost their multi-hit smashing attacks and and some of the people that had they'd still have them it's like you can better now well you you have to match harder but they're better moves they're way better now yeah yeah um I noticed that like like Pit got his is gone yeah um a couple people you
Starting point is 01:25:41 know like Captain Falcons is great yeah sure and she has hers too a quick question for it for all you guys the so everyone's kind of played a whole bunch of the game now and the stages specifically is the thing that kind of irked me the most about the 3ds version and there's graphic limitations and stuff like that I get it but just in general there's maybe five stages I actually enjoy playing in the 3ds version and the rest just suck so in completely agree with you my gosh bros I have almost every stage turned off most of the Omega stages because they're super boring yeah like okay so
Starting point is 01:26:17 obviously there's not gonna be any smash 3ds tournaments from the second Smash Bros for Wii U is out there are probably like like seven like tournament legal stages that are not counterpick stages right and then there's a bunch of counterpick stages and then there's more banned stages than there's ever been I can't believe how many of them are scrolling bullshitting they're just not absurd and yeah a lot of them are not fun and like there's so many that are just sprites and I don't find them that impressive and it's cool like big blues awesome but then but it's a pain in the dick I'm just like yeah you're in yes it
Starting point is 01:26:53 is a pain in the dick that's right but yeah and the limited stages that you can actually enjoy is really hurt yeah incredible lack of music yeah that's true which they said they they'd have a lot more in the Wii U version so I hope that's the case of yeah the other thing about the stages that I just find like a funny bit of trivia it has less new stages than brawl and less old stages than brawl right right so like they I wish they had dug back into the bank a little and brought some smash 64 Pauli Count stages just yellow Pauli Count exactly I think that's go ahead like last night there I think there was an
Starting point is 01:27:29 announcement I did see some images of Mute City like classic Mute City in the Wii U yeah which is cool yeah and also Hyrule Temple was confirmed for the Wii U version which is so I'm like okay cool all right there are bringing some stuff back for sure and like again like the moment the Wii U version comes out like whatever I don't care anymore but like right now I'm looking at the 3ds version and I'm like do I want to play a match with these stages really like it would be fantastic to find out that like every stage ever made it's gonna be DLC I mean take my fucking money that would be so good project them can do it um but
Starting point is 01:28:04 and at the same time like that while we're doing this I do want to say that you know it's still Smash Brothers playing it and you're having fun yeah when you're fighting people you know what I mean let's not like right oh it's a great game yeah but the thing is when Smash Brothers release has happened they're supposed to set the world on fire yeah exactly and that kind of didn't happen positively or negatively well I mean like I said like a few days like I said before like if Street Fighter 4 had released and it wasn't if it was just you know not a thing it would have it would have been what the fuck because
Starting point is 01:28:41 it's just fire man and if Street Fighter 5 is just Street Fighter 4 2 as Max says you know fighter needs to evolve Max did say that that is true yeah but like you know and this this one I like I've rattled on enough about it like I don't think it's enough of a jump from brawl especially when compared to the previous jumps from 64 and melee still you are comparing the handheld tiny version compared to a big console but I said I have played the Wii U version and it plays the same gameplay wise yeah it's gonna be almost identical like I'm yeah but like the Wii U the Wii U version is in this place where it's like we
Starting point is 01:29:19 have all these like little issues but like if I just got to play it with either a GameCube controller or a pro controller like I wouldn't give a shit about any of them anymore but the other the other thing is like you know it's not like going from Street Fighter 3 to Street Fighter 4 it's like going from Street Fighter 3 to a Street Fighter 4 with no combos like like the combo viability and smash for 3DS so smash for you like some characters like Mario have a lot going on in really low percentages yeah but then it just devolves into the don't-get-hit game of brawl it's not it's not as bad as
Starting point is 01:29:55 brawl right but I did this is something yeah and I did actually experiment I jumped into training mode grabbed a couple guys and just tried to see what you could do down throw is the only way you're gonna get down throw combo the only way you're getting anything and you could follow up with two hits tops for you know just me playing around that's what I couldn't get more than like one two follow-ups and that was it and yeah exactly and I mean you know not quite it not quite like brawl but still really limited there still quite limited and I mean like I had some people tell me like what are you just gonna rattle on the
Starting point is 01:30:30 like it's not melee complaint again and again like my point is like if Street Fighter 4 didn't have combos you'd get the complaint you know like going from melee going from 64 to melee and then from melee to brawl was like oh what just happened where did the depth and I mean like for anyone who knows like the scene just got split in half competitively and and everything died I mean even from like it was a bad time for smash and then to have seven years of brawl existing and to get to one that's not still not anywhere near melee is complexity is kind of a bummer even from like a non-competitive standpoint
Starting point is 01:31:09 when you look at the series now yeah for like a guy like myself especially who's really never ever taken smash seriously and actually tried to learn how to play it until smash for 3ds just playing the games melee feels the best to play out of all of them like yeah yeah mechanically I don't care about all the bullshit the fastest it's it's got like just feels done hey guess what it's sounds really good yeah yeah so I don't know it's just like when you see Sakurai complaining that when he starts talking bad about melee and how people eventually broke it and he's like we don't want to make that well well you're
Starting point is 01:31:43 talking about a small percentage of dudes that actually take advantage of any of that stuff yeah and you got a guy like me that doesn't do any of it that game still is the best one of all of them because it just feels the best game wise and like let's face it but like if the game were as as I guess tricky as melee you know where characters fall a lot faster and stuff like it's not quite as easy to play like let's be real 90% of people who bought Smash 4 would buy whatever you know I that's why I'm kind of bummed about it is like when they made melee they didn't have this mindset of like let's make it for the core it
Starting point is 01:32:18 was let's make a party game if you go back to the old interviews it was it's they're saying almost the same things as they said for they always and smash for right where it's just like when we got to brawl the narrative changed to that was too hardcore and it's like no you just you said something different now like now you're clearly targeting a different audience I have sympathy for a Sakurai though because I kind of like it some guy coming out on stage and he goes here's my new son no play the old stuff okay but I didn't actually like it that no but but his last two symphonies were super similar yeah but an objective
Starting point is 01:32:59 doesn't care like I said Neil Diamond goes up on stage not playing any of the stuff people know him for and a lot of people are like dude I paid to hear the stuff I know and love man but like I get from a creator standpoint saying stop asking yeah I would like you know brawl to like melee to be more of a standard a template in which to follow but the same time it's like if I was him whatever the reason is why I don't want to carbon copy it I it's like maybe he's just he should stop making these all together and give it to someone else personally I think the solution here is the next HD remake Nintendo should make
Starting point is 01:33:39 it smell a yeah or if it's included on the Wii U version crazy idea like if they reveal that a melee that like you get in they let me know that's it game over they're back it's done so it's kind of confusing for Sakurai who doesn't like officially work for Nintendo anymore he's just like a contractor now he's like it's really weird you know he keeps hiring me hiring me to make the exact same game over and over him that he works there yeah not only is it on the disc but it's got netcode like yeah exactly what more what more do you want I mean they did it for Bayonetta why not yeah yeah it's not even crazy and just to
Starting point is 01:34:22 just kind of wrap up a little bit last thing I did was I just dabbled my toes into Ultimax because I'm like I know I'm gonna dude it's so good I know I'm gonna just like swallow it whole but I just I'm jumping between all these games I missed while being gone I'm like it's a fighting game but like everything else is like some sort of old smash but like you know Hyrule is kind of a story yeah so he's getting all the fighting games gonna be there and there's still be a community so I'll never yeah yeah so so I mean I you know I was able to just kind of like save my curiosity and whatnot by just jumping into trading mode with the
Starting point is 01:34:56 new characters for a while dude how awesome is culprit isn't he the best he's so fun to use like I don't know what he's like in in match because I haven't played any matches but just like I told you he feels like an SNK boss in your hands he's he feels really fun um you know I'm gonna also go what you call it um da Koromaru and whatever his name is and shit bird friend murdering child that's a funny way to say Ken Ken who's looks like Liam right now especially cuz you got the little hair flip a little hair yeah that's like that they're fun to use too man like I really enjoy those characters a lot more than
Starting point is 01:35:41 you know like I didn't pay a new carrier cool but I honestly think that Ken and Coro is the best team double character that like Arxis has ever made like like team character like they did come over on a radius yeah like it's it's the best because like Coro is simple right like Coro does what you want he doesn't have eight he doesn't have a goddamn separate move set to the character it's it's poppy but it's like you have dedicated poppy buttons right yeah he's this nice addition to Ken somewhat limited move set and then of course just going back to the the old characters and you know well in my case just taking my acahiko
Starting point is 01:36:23 and checking out the changes like man the pressure game is even stronger really god I yeah his new his new like his new punch attack that you can do out of combos right right back punch like you could just stay in the guy's face forever wait for him to press a button or not yeah and then fuck him up yeah you're basically yeah I can't believe some of the new moves they've given the people like congee has a full-screen charge persona attack that eats projectiles and you can combo his persona move afterwards in the corner yeah he well honestly he needed that to deal with characters like you carry oh and
Starting point is 01:37:01 and yukiko fucks yeah of course yeah but no it's really nuts in that they they did what s kill talks about which is like balance upward yeah yeah and and just from my initial little little touch it it feels like I'm gonna love it it makes me really really excited for guilty gear oh there's another game I downloaded the Japanese demo to play some like solo matches against the AI fuck that game feels good yeah it feels a lot like the older guilty gears that's for sure you did the Japanese accounts coming I did the same thing and I also I also played quite a bit of the game like just outside of this demo and I can
Starting point is 01:37:43 concur like if you have played guilty year and you were ever good at guilty gear all your shit still gonna work like it's it's a it's just like a guilty year upgrade it's it's not guilty gear like three now it's guilty gear upgraded from the previous guilty year double X series so the same way you feel like I gotta ask does it feel like goddamn blaze blue no no no no it feels like Gigi thank God I was worried this whole time even though I got hands on with it like what if it just ends up like please what if every other character besides Temkin yeah yeah yeah like I'd say if you want to get good at XR just go start
Starting point is 01:38:25 playing the last latest XBLA PSN release of guilty gear like acts in court reloads and court is that for is that game even available in Canada I believe it yeah I totally I was playing it on my Vita the other night just like while the demo was downloading and when I got to it most stuff worked some stuff didn't work but like most stuff like it's definitely a different game it's not just like it's not just a reload not a quote-unquote reload yeah exactly like but it's definitely a hell of a step up it's it's really cool the cherry on top of my week was I got to watch the first episode of Mike Tyson mysteries oh my
Starting point is 01:39:06 god if you haven't seen this show you need to watch it Mike Tyson mysteries is this shit wait wait wait wait wait is this like the cartoon this is a cartoon it's a cartoon adult dog the bounty hunter no this is a cartoon on adult swim by the same animators that did Harvey Birdman wow and it's like Tyson it animates the same way wow that's and you've got Norm McDonald his pet his sidekick pigeon you've got Steve you got Colbert as his ghost sidekick buddy as well like Tyson Mike Tyson is Mike Tyson we need money and he's got and he's got like an adopted Chinese daughter and they go on mystery solving
Starting point is 01:39:43 quests right let me think about this so Mike Tyson punches out a dude and the guy falls down the side of stairs and Mike Tyson walks on says oh man who did this Mike is a retired boxer and he's punched everything he's wanted to so now when he goes into like mystery worlds I was like yo there's a chupacabra I've never punched that before let's do it you know like it's the shit that's pretty good it's really funny I think you guys should totally check it out sounds like an alternate universe Jackie Chan adventures yeah yeah like funnier man okay okay is it like mature like yeah okay yeah yeah like Bojack Horseman um
Starting point is 01:40:26 Birdman okay Birdman okay yeah okay yeah big shout out to that Matt what'd you do I don't want to go like we're kind of you're pushing it our weeks are taking up the entire well as we have five people here this week five people in one of them's in another country for the first time one of them's also in another country yeah that's true basically like I put in about some time into evil within I'm I'm gonna be a lot more harsh on it than Liam was I think it feels like it's from it's not from any sort of quality developer what I mean by that if the start of where I stopped felt like some random ps2 survival horror game like the
Starting point is 01:41:11 script is bad the characters are bad you know the writing is bad the the subtitles look amateurish like Bethesda put money into this it feels like one of those things that Bethesda did like they they greenlit this and wet at the same time okay this game that's way better no no I just mean by a presentation and story standpoint not gameplay Matt Matt tries to bring wet into every conversation I will fucking screw it to help so it's your fault that what's so bad right now because you worked on it no it's not actually program I was actually the one person that was like this sucks
Starting point is 01:41:55 Liam should you and I do a play through and just blame Matt for how yeah shit it is yeah you should do that you should do yeah you know what you should make a video where you I'd like to see you guys have the balls to play wet for more than two minutes anyway there's just the like it was hopping over but a bit of what Liam says that the start is rough yeah I will agree I also play the start and it's rough that first the first piece of gameplay in the game is terrible it's not great it's still where you're running away from the guy and your leg is cut yeah and then did you notice that like your leg is cut and it's constantly
Starting point is 01:42:35 hobbling you and you're like okay then the late title card comes up and then your leg is fine yeah yeah completely there's a reason for that which is what well spoilers but you know how can there be a reason for that then Liam when you're talking about this I'm it's not real it was all a dream it's not what I was gonna say is that to alleviate that during that opening crawl you could have just had a little little like after image of him wrapping a bandage around his leg sure and then that initial run through would have been a little less yeah that's why I stopped is that that's the well yeah it's fine it's an
Starting point is 01:43:16 injury I used to work up magazines but the German where I stopped I was in a village type area and I'm like I don't like this village area at all it's like oh here comes a guy with a chainsaw just like the village yeah everything just doesn't feel as good and when you're and I hate I hate the letterboxing I might need to play a bit more like me I'm to get rid of it but I hate it so much because it blocks it's prompts from me one of the greatest things I totally would have agreed with you one of the best things you can do Matt to make the game infinitely better is to start talking like the villagers as you're
Starting point is 01:43:47 playing for is infinitely better yeah poor writing it's like Sebastian is pro like from where again where I am is like the worst most bland protagonist ever because you find these little journals of himself writing to himself and he's like oh I really like my new female partner what an ass well she is no what a great ass she has oh that too yes you're right he's a totally different character from like the story to what he you see it's like I don't this guy is even the same maybe he's crazy maybe he's crazy
Starting point is 01:44:38 but I'm like again maybe I need to play more of it but where I'm on just like I who like and I'd like to play that DLC chapter of the girl because maybe it flushes her out before in that opening scene where they're in the car I'm looking at the his two most super bland like the girl barely says anything and I hate that other detective Joseph Gordon Levitt yeah yeah you get time with Joseph that's good then because at that thing I was just like there's it's just jarring to me like this old nitpicks because when you actually play the game it's still fun it's still good I just the letterboxing isn't it's kind of like
Starting point is 01:45:12 how the smash controls affects mash the letterboxing affects me yeah I can't believe McComby did the letterboxing thing again yeah like come on re4 if you probably forgot but the gamecube version had forced letterbottom it is true and like he seems to really he thinks that the wide is scary yeah well you know I think he just likes it at the end of the day and like Matt said like you know he feels bad for Sakurai because I don't disagree with what you said before McComby just wants to make it that way yeah but I think McComby's involved special place where it's like oh I need to hit I need to hit that black
Starting point is 01:45:52 bars dog yeah I was saying like you know Vanquish is a great game no numbers yeah that was a weird interview that I remember reading after Evil Within where I remember way back he said that Evil Within was gonna be his last game yeah and then like I think it was like two weeks ago but about it he's like yeah I shouldn't have said that yeah but Desda was really angry with me when I said that that was gonna be my last game but like so hopefully he gets to like and he also talked like a long time ago how like he didn't want to make Evil Within like yeah I heard about this he was told like you can make whatever you
Starting point is 01:46:29 want but and then he gets there and it's like but first make a RE4 yeah like he initially wanted to do some open-world sci-fi thing and then they're like well how about you do a survival horror thing it's like how about you do the thing that we bought you for yeah right I also put some time in a Ki to yeah next kind of said a lot of stuff I was gonna say I was gonna say that the character progression to unlock stuff is like the best thing about it it's way better yeah it is so like you like this character you want everything this character just play him in every mode doesn't matter dude that is so good just
Starting point is 01:47:07 get good with combo and you'll get all the combo stuff like unifying all of that into one number what it like I think it just it makes so much more sense it was kind of obvious that season one was like semi-padded because there is so little content for the game so they're like let's how do we make people keep playing keep playing all you have to get 50 rank wins with full gore when full gore is a really hard character and that's it it's hard to do and it's probably hella frustrating for the majority of people you know yeah of course yeah aside from that the only thing I'm really disappointed in it is that like I wish
Starting point is 01:47:40 like at least at this juncture there'd be more than one stage ultra yeah like oh there's only the one there's only the one and I'd like to think that at least the two new stages would have them that makes sense to me and maybe one of the old ones because there's a lot of stages that could only teach a no of course I don't know that they're gonna add more yeah at the launch I would have liked at least both Maya since it looks like that is a stage ultra stage like orchid stage makes a lot of sense for me really really good at the copter shot you like in some a turn and some eternal champions game there's a giant spider and
Starting point is 01:48:17 satiracy yeah there's so many things to set up you know I think they're gonna eventually patch all of them to have one no maybe not all of them but not all of them have all the original games like I don't know not only a couple on the description for when you're in the move list it says staged and side dependence on where you activate this right now as far as we can tell your ultra but with it's if your ultra is with an punch then your stage ultra is always the same motion but with a kick and TJ is just on the left-hand side of his stage it's like I was messing around on every freaking stage I'm like I don't think
Starting point is 01:48:53 this is working at all anywhere but TJ's stage it's also good is doing your regular ultra then instant canceling it and then doing the stage ultra it's a really hype one might my biggest gripe with it is that some characters look cool in the post pose you know like after you see them flying in the back I mean some characters just look weird like like no one knows what the hell glacis what is glacis doing why does Maya like teleport into a pose like thunders thunders is really good thunders is great sassy sassy lady pose Spinals is the best one because he just laughs I don't just turn into a pile of
Starting point is 01:49:27 oh somebody just fall into a pile of bones no his skelitism powers depleted the other thing I was kind of odd that I did last night was that I fell in love with the PlayStation one yeah we saw this I saw you a little bit of this I was like I'm looking for a bunch of games I'll see what was ever released on the PlayStation what came out on that I'm not aware of everything and I found 30 games I ebay in one gigantic and some of that was like what there was a crow game we need to get this we need to get this course there was a couple of survival horror games and we didn't have all the
Starting point is 01:50:06 Wu Tang games I'm still lacking evil zone what is this plural that is coming out of games all of the Wu Tang Wu Tang games Wu Tang shallow in style and that's all you need because it's the greatest video game ever made there was Thai food just remember I do with this yeah you fucking do the tiger I worked at any game basically a game where you're the beast form of Shen Long from from beast arising and it's just a cool to 2.5d like platformer where you're this martial arts tiger how about your Angelina Jolie from Apocalypse featuring Bruce Willis that was one of the ones we spoke about all right no I talked
Starting point is 01:50:49 about a theoretical you could you could make a Bruce Willis week of Bruce Willis day there's enough there's a diehard arcade yeah yeah definitely trilogy fifth element fifth element holy shit they will most of them are gonna be ps1 games for sure most of them are gonna be hot garbage exactly just like you have to go in knowing that we got we got to play them in order of hair to hair loss nice well then Apocalypse is last yeah like told no or first cuz he said give me more hair yes one though on the topic of PlayStation stuff what's your what's your guys's opinion on Street Fighter EX plus alpha
Starting point is 01:51:33 stop stop stop yeah because EX plus a is the one that's good that's the one that's I still don't like it sure but it's the one that's like it's not broken bad yeah I feel like if you have to go back to the EX games that's the only one they're fun and the music is really good in them too I I've unfortunately only played all the other EX games and you missed out on EX 3 I own this the only one you're sadly missing out on like the epitome of Street Fighter voice acting I believe it with Wising Dragon and fireball oh my what was that guy's name I totally forgot Alan Snyder thank you so much I need to make that my text
Starting point is 01:52:26 whenever somebody text me why I think wagon I don't know he's a white dude with like a giant red fro potato bomb yeah I don't know if you guys ever saw this and if you play Street Fighter EX 3 one of the stages you're in this big majestic temple looking yeah yeah if you play the game in HD like you play it on like a ps3 where it upscales it for some reason there's a giant image in the background of these portraits and one of the portraits is mr. T for no reason it's just mr. T's face and you would never see it if you didn't have an HD version wow okay that's odd I wonder if that's is that like a curious emulation
Starting point is 01:53:09 issue no like I you would never the emulation photo of mr. I'm Pat I'm not saying I'm saying like evidently it was in the code somewhere it was there you just that brings it out there's no way you can see it in SD yeah honestly man like you and you go back to those games to it's like skullomania is the thing you wish you could pull it out of it yeah and put into modern Street Fighter I love Dr. and dark Dr. and dark explosion explosive really quickly I saw the first two episodes American Horror Story freak show the third season I think it's fourth season there is the first one then there was a silent a silent
Starting point is 01:53:53 coven oh yeah this is for not liking it I have no idea who the main characters are I don't similar same actors or Angelo whatever okay it's the old lady and though the kid the stupid Quicksilver yeah is lobster boy yeah okay and it's just it's just a mess like I have no idea what's going on with it I like there's this renegade cloud running around killing people has nothing to do with the rest of the story maybe it's just early but I'm just watching something okay I abandoned ship yeah been abandoned ship for me now I love the first American Horror Story yeah it's great yeah it's really good but I'm not really liking it
Starting point is 01:54:27 and I guess the only thing is that I rewatched the Friday the 13th remake that I remember when came out I told you about the opening scene yeah opening scene last like 15 minutes then the title card comes up and it's a badass title card that is one of the most solid remakes ever because I'm a huge Jason fanboy and I look like this one of the two remakes where it's like what do you do you make them talk no you just make them this crazy hunter that lives in the wilderness and has traps and underground hidden shit he's just a wild man that just lives there and he's like that's it he's not a supernatural ghost he can become one
Starting point is 01:55:04 later who knows and this one he's just like this wild he's wolf hawk he's wolf hawk filled machete wait in this one is he just like a human he's not like yeah okay but it's good it's good because I'm not sure if you remember remember that real asshole in the first Transformers movie that was like you mean Shia LaBeouf now yes but no the other guy no that act jazz it was the blonde guy that was a football star and he was dating what's her face and he's like hey nerd what are you doing and his name and he had like a dude that everyone's an asshole in Transformers one that was a
Starting point is 01:55:44 bad identifier but this actor's real name in real life he looks like a jock football star and his real life name is Travis then Winkle all right he plays the asshole on this Friday the 13th remake and he gets it so hard that it's so sad as like he gets impaled and then like I'm not even gonna go through to a series of unfortunate events happens this shit bag so it's it's like really satisfying to watch and plus the main guy from Supernatural I know the ladies out there love them to Supernatural just plush all over in the Supernatural seasons of it so the main guy was super natural isn't it so when me and the
Starting point is 01:56:20 missus watch he said oh I got my supernatural guy in there okay that was really fun it's a good remake yeah it's a good remake it's like the Friday the nightmare and Elmstreet remake even though it starred a Rorschach sure yeah awful well because I feel like they've made their way through all of the classics now plus that one was PG-33 Evil Dead you've done Nightmare and Elm Street you've done Halloween Halloween already a fucking chainsaw massacre has been done like they've done all where's my reanimate a remake reanimate it you can do the thing I saw the movie for the first time a month ago it was amazing
Starting point is 01:56:58 they made it they remade the thing no that was a prequel it was a prequel yeah but for all intents and purposes so Kansas Ramona flowers was the hero yeah yeah this come out like two years ago fuck if if you remake the thing you have to have Kurt Russell in it again but he has to play the crazy doctor this time yeah it's a McCready did you know at the end that at the end of the thing game Kurt Russell appears at the end and he saves you yeah yeah think about that even though the game implies that he was the thing all along like that I remember playing that game and like right away you find Chiles but you don't find
Starting point is 01:57:40 McCready right and it's like is this this shitty PS2 game actually gonna fucking like ruin the ending like one of the greatest horror movies ever made yes yes it will all right so I mean we don't have time to go into the week but we're gonna talk about some stuff Google's getting into the race they announced the Nexus player they want is that it's basically their answer to the Amazon Firebox it's it's what the hell is that it's a set top box for media and title well software off the Google Play Store yeah Android Android the Google Play Store yes yeah exactly and Amazon Firebox was of course an answer to the
Starting point is 01:58:25 shield I think that was more of an answer to the Roku and the you guys are both wrong I think it was an answer to the mojo eventually gonna get back to the end gauge right back to that which of course was an answer to the tiger electronics gain oh you know Mega Man 2 on tiger I look at this one and it's like it's neat that it's got the Google Play Store but you know for Amazon at least that was like the answer to game.com oh my god but you know for Amazon's box I was at least able to look at it and say they made a stable of game developers and they bought Double Helix and we'll see what comes of that yeah for this one
Starting point is 01:59:09 I look at it and it's like I guess it's a cheap Android game box. It's a Vita TV for phone games. So it's like yeah if you want worse games for the same price but better media features this is probably the box for you. Controller looks fine but doesn't come with the machine. Yeah 40 bucks on the side. Exactly. That's bullshit. Yeah you know like you know like I still think out of all of them the Fire TV has the most potential when it comes to games because it's good they have their own developer house that you know they're starting to do stuff. Well way forward just made a game for it. Yeah it was a neat little game. Yeah that looks really cool
Starting point is 01:59:49 actually but you know for this one I'm not I just looking at it and I'm like I guess like Google just kind of figures like we have nothing to lose throwing our hat into the room. There's money there. It's a cheap box for them to produce. It's you know ever since Ouya said hey games it's been like yeah you can sell games on this kind of you know premise. People clearly want that. Might not be successful at it. Exactly you might not be hugely successful but people clearly kind of want it and so if you've already got the Google Play Store why not just shove it into a box. And you know they're really like it's a game console
Starting point is 02:00:25 but it's like they're pushing the media side of it heavier I find based on that that initial. But it plays games too. Yeah definitely. Whereas Amazon went the other rat on it and like really pushed the game side. They pushed everything and like just they bought a ton of studios so they were able to also say here's what yeah that's true. I don't have one. They didn't slouch. I only have one question. Will it play the Final Fantasy 7 motorbike Japanese game that's going to be coming out. It should. Yeah it should because that's going to come out on Android so it should play that. Oh my. I'd be shocked if that wasn't on the Play Store.
Starting point is 02:01:03 Totally sold. Yeah I see Google is like originally back in the day every move they made was very very careful and very calculated and it would be like a huge thing. Yeah and then they like as time is going on and they got into the phone game and what not nowadays hardware and exactly now they're just like playing with glass they're playing with some other stuff they got the watch coming. They can afford to you know yeah they've gotten a lot less like concerned about like their releases they're not like they used to be like Blizzard basically you know and now it's just like yeah let's see what happens and if it doesn't work
Starting point is 02:01:40 exactly you know it's and now Blizzard is like Scarlett don't see what happens just cancel it. Yeah exactly. You know it's it's neat but like I can't help but look at this and and just be like the competition in this market is so weird because they all do the same thing. They all do and they don't seem to do any of it like super well. Yeah exactly and all of their games overlap really viciously like like the Uya has a bunch of unique games but you know it's you know if I had to say buy one I'd like now the Vita TV's out the Uya kind of is kind of obsolete as far as I'm concerned and it's just like these boxes I don't
Starting point is 02:02:19 they're for people who want media and the games element of them is shit and I hope this doesn't viciously steal game console sales which it surely will. I certainly don't think so the thirst is real Liam. No well no because you know cell phones have been vicious cell phones have been viciously damaging. But people walking on the street you know looking to replace their well if it's got if it's got Minecraft if it's got this kid doesn't need a ps4 if you can get Minecraft on a hundred dollars. Yeah because kids are stupid. But yeah make up a lot of that market you know so. Thank you Max I appreciate it. Kids are stupid
Starting point is 02:02:56 though. Love them but they're stupid. I don't love them. Don't have to. I speaking of stupid though. I want to give this is a great second. I was about to say that massive I want to give shout outs because so this game called Paranautical Activity got pulled from Steam because the dev. Why to get pulled from Steam Wally. You want to start the story from the very beginning or jump to the halfway. No we'll just jump right into the middle. I like when you and Wally were just talking about that halfway point. Because they got pulled from Steam because the dev threatened Gabe Newell. He threatened to kill Gabe Newell. That's smart.
Starting point is 02:03:34 He's the most literal way possible. With the phrase I am going to kill Gabe Newell. Yeah. Stop. Next line. He's going to die. So this is. Decide the destiny. Decide the destiny. Yeah so they're game what's it called again. Paranautical Activity. Paranautical Activity. I don't even get what that means. Is this supposed to be clever or. Yeah it's paranormal you know paranormal Paranautical Activity. I don't know. I don't know. It's underwater. It's underwater man. There's ghosts underwater. Oh paranormal. Matt you remember the part in Beyond Two Souls where we had the ghosts in the underwater Chinese base. No. That. Yep. Can't wait to play that.
Starting point is 02:04:12 Perfect. So this was on Valve's. Steam's front page for a little bit on their little ad carousel right of like here's all the new games. And it was mistakenly labeled as Early Access I believe. Either way it was mistakenly labeled and this error lasted for under two hours. And the developer got so angry that in his mature anger he decided to threaten Gabe Newell's life. And there was another series of tweets before that that were all just dumb like. And then his game disappeared from Steam. Yeah and since there has been a statement issued by Valve and I have it here actually. And so Doug Lombardi from Valve says yes we have removed the game's sales page and ceased relations with the developer after he threatened to kill
Starting point is 02:04:58 one of our employees. So it seems like a pretty fucking final decision. Geez man. And it's really harsh to take their game off. And the guy in an email the polygon he said but let's be real if they took my game off the store they're fucking sure about their decision there's probably nothing to be done. Like he would have gotten away easier if he said Gabe Newell is an asshole. Oh fuck him. He would have gotten away. He would have gotten away. Anything other than an overt threat on his life. Followed by like a statement reaffirming. A factual statement. He didn't make a joke. Even if it was as extreme as I'm so mad I could just kick the shit out of Gabe Newell right now. He would probably get away scot-free. If he threw a cap on at the end of
Starting point is 02:05:48 that he would have gotten away. Anything. That's like going to high school and saying I want to kill my principal then they like expel you and you're like come on. Talking about bombs on an airplane it's okay. The story is funny because I don't even think it's like news it's just like this guy did this and everything went as expected. Yeah but we like it when people trip over into their own shit. Yeah equals two. Moving on Rob Riggle is now Frank West in the Dead Rising movie. Perfect. It looked good. It did look pretty good. Rob Riggle looks like him. Also and he's a weird goofball. Is this happening? This is happening. Legendary is in charge. Cool. That's what I get out. It's called Dead Rising Watchtower and Rob Riggle's Frank West
Starting point is 02:06:36 and Epic Mealtime Guy is like a part of the biker gang. He's part of and he's going to be I don't know. It's Muscle's Glasses. I don't think they gave the name of his character. It's Muscle's Glasses. He's a pretty guy. The Montreal man. Yes. Big beard dude. Yeah exactly. He's playing him and cool. Okay. Yeah that's what they've announced so far. Does that exist? Is that one of those things that is going to happen? It seems like this is actually happening. Yeah. We're talking like companies and stuff like legendary. We're getting farther down the chain. But you know what? It's like it's Dead Rising so like it's going to be goofy and dom and silly. It should be. Dead Rising's a good one. You can nail that into whatever you want. If the finale involves what's his name? Rob
Starting point is 02:07:27 Riggle wearing a Mega Man Zero costume. Yes. Oh man. Yes. Oh this could go so many good places. So like rising. This movie needs to have moments. Like the core concept of Dead Rising 1 was these people are being horribly murdered. Amazing. Yeah. Take those photos. Yeah get those pictures. This woman's being attacked. Like get upscurried. Shocking. Like if that's what that movie is about. But this is going to be more like Dead Rising 3 don't you think? And it's like that's a bit. That's not what I want. Rob Riggle is a comedy actor. Is he? I have no idea. He's from Saturday Night Live. He's been lots of Will Ferrell movies. Okay that's really cool. It's going to be. It looks like it's going to be lighthearted. He was a correspondent
Starting point is 02:08:14 on The Daily Show. Okay never mind. I take it back. Yeah. Awesome. I really hope this goes that way because that sounds really cool. When are we going to get a portable Dead Rising game? God damn it. Never. 3DS I'll take it. Never. I want one. Never. Dead Rising's dead. Never. It's more alive than ever. You know what they could they could drop a Super Alpha Turbo Extreme Dash for matching service version you know like they could bring that to like the Vita by itself. I play that. Dude Vita 3DS smartphone whatever. No but it's an Xbox game. That is the formula I want on PC. Well remember Dead Rising 3. I bet you it'll be on PS4 and 2DS. Remember Dead Rising 3 needs to sell 2 million copies for Capcom the green lightest sequel unfortunately. Well it's it must be very near
Starting point is 02:08:56 that at this point. It got close. I think it was like 1.5. In opening season in opening season did 1.3 and now it's on PC and it's been what a full year since then. It must be near if not at already too. Yeah. Anyway. I hate that. I hate and love that quote so much from Capcom. The whole 2 million thing. Oh the thing that Ono says. Oh that's what you're referring to. Capcom releases on the PC like if you drop that price enough you're going to get to whatever number you want. Yeah exactly. I think it's most directly to like their big games like Triple A titles like Resident Evil Remake HD isn't isn't a Triple A title like think or Strider wasn't. So yeah yeah it just pretty much confirms that like Dark Sockers ain't coming back. Dragon's Dogma ain't
Starting point is 02:09:44 coming back. D.M.C. Don't say that. I don't want to hear the Dragon's Dogma. I know because it's great. You said that yourself. You said it yourself. I know what I tell myself to shut up every time I say it. But you know what is coming back. Remember me. Time Crisis. Yeah. I'm so happy with this news. Time Crisis 5 is coming out next year man. I love that the characters look like not super ultra serious again. Yeah kind of goofy. It's like Mad Dog in it. It's who? Mad Dog. Is Mad Dog in it. I don't think so. No it looks like new character. These are two new characters. That's wild dog. But one's dressed in blue and one is dressed in red. Yeah. No no no I mean Mad Dog was the villain. He was the guy with the machine gun on. No idea. There's only scans
Starting point is 02:10:28 and there's only like pictures. Yeah basically it was a little event where they showed off the promo for the arcade cabinets. Yeah they were talking about Tekken 7 and Time Crisis 5 got some some pictures released. Namco is killing it with those arcade releases. Oh they're always really good for arcades. I really really hope this gets like a PS4 Xbox One release with like Connect and Move. I just want to play this game. Yeah I just want to play it and I don't want to go back to Japan just to play this game. But I bet you I bet you like you're going to see the cabinet it's going to be like Bone Eater in the sense that it's like did you see the cabinet? This is only this is going to be something special that only for TC5. It's like it's not it's totally doable if
Starting point is 02:11:10 you look at the cabinet it's got if I remember correctly it's got two pedals instead of one. So some stages you press either one and you just come up but some areas you press left or right and you pick out left or right. That's so sick. I will sit down with you and draw up a plan for how Gunslinger Stratos could be ported. No it can't. That one can't. We'll have to see man. We'll have to see. You need to like forget about Gunslinger Stratos man. I have. I got it out of my system. It's ruining your life. I got it out of my system. We had our hour playing it and now it's done forever. We're good. I remember going to Willy's house and I saw all these prototypes he was making. Did you remember? These godless creations he's got moves strapped to Wiimotes and there's magnets
Starting point is 02:11:52 and glues. Candles. Candles. I don't know if you want to talk about it but the moment where you asked the president of Square Enix personally. Yeah I mentioned it on a previous podcast like we were. Yeah you both had dork questions that you pestered him. We were at work asking him dumb questions and the president of Square Enix stood there and was like all right. How do you know what this game is? We thought we buried that. I'm like delete his memories. Well you ever bring it over and he's just like not really bro. Not really bro. Sorry. He said in straight English. Not really bro. Not really bro. That was basically a similar answer for the World Ends With You 2. Oh yeah that was your question. And why have you never made a sequel for Chrono Sugar and he's
Starting point is 02:12:36 just like fuck off. Well you know there's there's there's probably got a good answer there. Although speaking of I guess like you know local companies and whatnot although this is more Toronto area Jade Raymond just left Ubisoft. Yes she did. I was I was I'm gonna just like they haven't really said why but I'm gonna go ahead and guess it's probably because she wants to get back into working on a game. Like get back to working on Electric Playground as the first one did. That was always weird to me. It's like one day I see this girl as a correspondent on EP Electric Playground and then the next day I'm promoted to the head of all Ubisoft or whatever it was at the time. Kind of Ubisoft Toronto. Yeah because she'd she'd been working on like you know producing games and whatnot and then
Starting point is 02:13:22 yeah and for the last couple of years she's just been managing the studio and not working on any games in particular so we assume. I would have to assume she's kind of like I want to touch a game again you know or something like that. I totally think she was just too far removed from the games for her liking. I don't think she's leaving the games industry. She said I wanted to pursue new things, new challenges. Okay back so back to EP Daily. So here's a here's a here's a stark difference between that press release which is Ubisoft saying we are splitting with Jade Raymond blah blah blah and then she goes blah blah blah versus the one where Jack Carmack left where Bethesda just well we didn't really need him. Yeah. Don't worry all our games. It was so petty. It was it was so
Starting point is 02:14:00 weird. It came off as really like it was bad. Yeah even if it wasn't or if it was it felt like a bad. The press release was just like oh it's fine don't worry now this won't affect our products it doesn't really matter. Any work he did was negligible or something. It was like really disparaging towards him and this one was at least like courteous. Yeah well Carmack like it's pretty obvious he left on like not if not necessarily bad terms but like very awkward terms. Bad terms when you're you and your and your co-op partner are on bad terms your teamwork becomes lousy. Yeah. Also just wanted to do a quick little roundup of some stuff going on on Kickstarter. Shoot yeah. Yeah so I would assume simply because they're both based in Montreal
Starting point is 02:14:43 Urbans the Kickstarter that's going on for that awesome hip-hop show and Hover the Jet Set Radio style futuristic game. Yeah what's new with Hover. The two of those both of those got basically got together and said we're going to be working on some stuff together. Awesome. First of all there's going to be some Hover style content in Urbans. In Urbans. And furthermore they might even be working on like like levels stages characters things like that dedicated to it. It seems like a good mix. The match when you look at the art styles is perfect. It's super perfect. Hey by the way Hover is done but if you haven't checked out Urbans go check it out because they are not 100% there yet. They're not there yet. They're not in trouble but they're not in trouble
Starting point is 02:15:30 but they're not there yet and it is a really cool thing that they have. And if you're wondering what Urbans is that that crazy neon picture that's on top of my Twitter that's where it's from. That's Urbans. It's this really cool. So like people of the anime no not boondocks. Does this mean that you will soon be a cross media character between these two? I just assume that you bought whatever the highest award tier was to put yourself in these. Me and Willie were thinking about doing something for Hover but then we're like eh the tiers are not exactly. I'm planning on I'm booking on more so running into them downtown somewhere. And just wearing your Sunday best be like oh there's a guy we can write as a character. Just elbowing my way in. Just take some pictures of him like
Starting point is 02:16:16 those EA guys did. Exactly. Yeah. Just you wait. That was really creepy. Max if you've never seen this in SSX is it just SSX? SSX. The 2013 SSX. Okay. And that reboot of SSX. Go look up the character Moby and compare him to Willie. It's scary. Like if you're at your computer and you start him. Moby was a classic SSX character but he looked completely different. He looked totally different. And I'm the first person to call everyone out when they're like hey look at this black guy with dreads. What the fuck. But this dude. Holy shit. Exactly like me. It is so stunning. I can't get over that. That's like not even in a question. That's like one to one. Exactly. There's no doubting it. I can't deny anything. Moby also have a video on YouTube of him like picking up a copy of Marvel
Starting point is 02:17:08 3 and talking about his crazy night. I wish the EA anime had seen that. Like yeah I could do a funny thing. Like that thing of Joel doing you know. Man. Yeah. I wish. I wish. Someone get on that. Also going on a Kickstarter is we talked about a couple of quite a few episodes ago. Retro magazine. Yeah. They had a year of magazines that came out and you know they had Jeremy Parrish and Sean Baby. Sean Baby. A couple of other dudes we know getting involved in writing some articles for it. So they've got another Kickstarter going for year two if you liked year one. Basically it sounds like they're going to be putting out year two anyway but the Kickstarter is going to help them get some more stuff done. They're doing really good on it too. I don't know if you saw the numbers
Starting point is 02:17:51 but the Kickstarter is going really well. Yeah. No. But people like it seems like people liked what was put out. So. Did you read any of it or. I saw the initial digital copy. Okay. Yeah exactly. I've paged through that and I was like yeah. Can you get it physical. Yeah. I think it's a limited whole. There's a limited physical. Because I really like that retro gamer magazine from the U.K. that I showed you guys before and I just got a new issue that just had a picture of little Mac and I just didn't look at it. I just want it. Right. So if that one has a physical I never I could believe forgot about it. So I'd like to check it out. You know so yeah that's that's going on. You know give him a give him a peek if it's if it's your like print your fancy.
Starting point is 02:18:30 There's a new little game called Boothill Heroes that dropped a trailer. Why do I know this game. Oh I know it's Earthbound but Earthbound in the Wild Wild West exactly. Wow. This game is already out on Vita. Is it. I didn't know that on PlayStation Mobile it's been out for a while. Okay. But now they're expanding. Yeah this is a Steam Explicit. I think it's solemn like I've played it. Yeah no the trailer would look to really really cool. It's by a group called Experimental Gamer. Yeah and yet it's straight up Take Earthbound and Wild West in the West. Yeah you know and it works riding on your horses and so the same battle system and everything. It's really good actually like and it's like it's a total homage and like there's no escaping that but it's good in its own right.
Starting point is 02:19:14 So I'm dropping a link in the comments for that in the show notes for that. Thank you. Yeah there was that little thing with Smash where they teased Master Hand and Crazy Hand modes but we didn't know what they were and now the cat's out of the bag because it's like they blur it's like to a picture from Smash for Wii U and it said Master Censored and Crazy Censored. What is this mode we don't know and some people were like you're going to be able to use them. I was like no not likely and then there was a press release that people pulled off of Amazon that basically explained it's Master Challenge and Crazy Challenge and it's just going to be a series of challenges devised by them. It seems that there was also like a board game mode. Yeah board
Starting point is 02:19:58 game mode. There's like a Mario Party Smash mode. I am totally down. That sounds like it could be really cool and level builders back. That's awesome. Level builders back. That's a lot of fun. Like I totally get that it's not a feature a lot of people used because it wasn't super robust and raw but it's a lot of fun. You can definitely bullshit around with your friends and make stages made completely of ice and Tetris blocks and still make stages better than a lot of fun and still make better than 3DS for the stages. That's a burn. That's a burn. Don't have time to get into any of the other articles. I guess the last thing I'll drop is they also announced destructive creations. Announces a game called Hatred and this is a game that's basically just it seems to be
Starting point is 02:20:42 just like postal. It's like postal. It's just postal. And much like postal it's like how can we get people to notice our game. Oh shock value game. Can we do it with good gameplay. No. That said we know nothing of the gameplay quality. It seems to it looks like a twin stick shooter type of setup. It seems to me that when you look at the trailer game it's actually a shame that there's this controversy surrounding because it actually looks like it looks like it looks like that real that that remember there's that isometric gba max paying game. It looks like that but like a modern version. I'm like that looks actually kind of fun to play now. But if there's but if you're just shooting down innocent civilians and there's no bosses then what's the challenge. But no.
Starting point is 02:21:22 Imagine though. Imagine what's gonna like what's gonna actually like hate filled. You're like this like I hate the world type guy. You're more of a supervillain guy. And yeah you can attack people but the more you attack the the everyone gangs up and then people start making their own homemade weapons or they start making barricades. You can actually make a fun idea of the concept of being a bad guy but they just went way way it's definitely really violent. The only thing is there like I think it's a it's a bit more violent than I would like. Yeah it might be a good game. My only like real gripe really is that the main character looks like like a god smack fan or something. Well that's it. It's it's smoldering with generic rage exactly and I was kind of like when I saw
Starting point is 02:22:04 that design I was kind of like this is like this is a parody right. He looks like the prince of persia from warrior with that. I was expecting it to go super tongue-in-cheek and then they did it they're like no he's serious. This angry man and you're like dude. So I kind of feel the same way that I felt about like postal where it's like I I will try this it's more violent than I would like. The postal was tongue-in-cheek. It was still more violent I would like it was tongue in-cheek. Yeah especially the later postals were even sillier. I think it's like it's it's kind of like you look at it you're like that's it's such a dumb thing to have a controversy over. It's not worth having a controversy over. You know what I mean but like more importantly let's
Starting point is 02:22:41 see if it is a game that can be played if there's anything there because it feels like there might not be. As the trailer started and I watched it more and more I was like oh wait yeah this is like when it starts doing those zoom in kills yeah like I had to do and I should one of us had to do ESRB checklists of course yeah and I had to do that and like it's a real serious issue when it's like like when people are unarmed yeah and especially if they beg for their lives that's always like you know it's a PC game there's no ESRB there and it's not for everybody so obviously you see that shit don't fucking play it you know exactly but like I just let's say God forbid there's some other like school or atrocity involving gun violence like that's where the
Starting point is 02:23:25 blame goes yeah that's where the blame goes. It sucks that someone is making a game that's ready made to to look look how bad video games are point at this yeah this is the problem and it's a shame because it's it's hard to defend this game it is hard it is hard to defend it's in the category with like rain play where you're like yeah we can't like yeah no one's gonna be like yeah that rain play. Hands in the air. Yeah it's a shame. Yeah I'm all for freedom of speech but you look at that and you're like I don't want to defend that exactly this topic because even I look at that like both of those and I'm like yeah I'm not super comfortable with that but anyone but like you can't take a stance that's like you know shut this down sensor type thing you can't do any of
Starting point is 02:24:09 that you just ignore it. Exactly if it's not for you you ignore it or you just kind of look at it and kind of point and go this is silly you know but like that that's pretty much it. Ultimately like this is not for me. If you don't look at the monster he'll lose his powers. Yeah I don't pay attention to him now. It's funny how the internet works. But no totally dude warrior within million warrior within man. All right let's jump into the letters real quick. Where would you. Does that mean it's letter time. Where would you send these letters Oliam. You'd send them to super best friend cast at gmail.com. If you want to send is that the right email address. If you want to send us a letter and ask us about how fluffy Benny's furries you can send that letter. Not as fluffy
Starting point is 02:24:54 as X. I can confirm. I can confirm it is twice as fluffy as X. Pets on sticks and fights. Pets on sticks. Pets on sticks should be either a food chain or a new fight. Well you're in Japan. A food. Oh it's fucking vicious. That was brutal. I kind of feel dirty after saying and I'm sorry Benny I still love you. Please don't murder me in my sleep. We love Benny too by the way. Thank you. I don't. I don't. I think Benny is a bad bad dog and my pet is better than his pet. You're a bunch of bullshit. Okay. We'll fucking see about that. Like Chad Kroger. You're all fucking talks. Benny is life and the punisher is dumb. How do I hang up this phone call. Here's a problem if I tell him Predators dumb. Because we both. We both kind of love that shit. Two hours and a
Starting point is 02:25:57 half. You know nice and chummy. Fuck that shit. It was swimming below the surface the entire time. We'll return to this fight later Max. Okay fine. That's all we'll settle on right now. Fine. Good. Fine. Whatever. Just ask Max. Just ask Matt what his ranking is on KI. Matt did you did you get above button masher yet. Yes. I have. I'm one level above it. Oh nice. Slightly better than button masher. That's what the next one is. Slightly. Okay we got one coming in from our genus and he wants to ask question for the hypers guest. Max. Oh shit. A question for you. Pick a game that you think is really bad but add one mechanic that would save it or make it decent. Is this mexa flan on Twitter. I don't know. I recognize his name. Yeah I think that's him.
Starting point is 02:26:49 One game that's really bad but one mechanic makes it great. Can anything save Shadow. Dude I was just about to say Shadow the Hedgehog. Remove Shadow the Hedgehog. Oh yeah. Right answer. And there's a mechanic just to kill Shadow the Hedgehog and then you have potentially a Sonic 06 equivalent Sonic game which is terrible but fun. At a mechanic or just. Yeah. At a mechanic that makes it good or decent. But actually it saves it. How about like something a little more like because nothing can save Shadow so like I'm wondering if it was I'd immediately think to like a fighting game. You know what I would say we were talking about Smash a whole bunch about this and I had this like fever dream
Starting point is 02:27:30 about Smash Brothers and me loving Marvel versus Capcom games. What if yeah like straight Wayne's World doodly doodly dude. What if Smash Brothers didn't have assist trophies. Instead you just chose an assist like Marvel one and you only got to use it so many times. And they were balanced. Balance just like Marvel. So you see a lot more stuff going on in the screen but it is balanced because you can only use them so many times. Kind of like Zelda's Down B but you have a customized. Exactly. Exactly. So I would that's what I would love to see. Like if we were they were to upgrade Smash and actually change it instead of being Smash. I would love to see something crazy like that. Yeah. Okay. That's a good pick I think actually.
Starting point is 02:28:11 Hmm. Solid answer. I got one. Oh yeah. No. You guys have one. Then throw them out. Yeah. The question is from. Take PlayStation. Take PlayStation All Star Battle Royale. Oh thank you. This is a good one. And add Smashes. Yes. Just just make PlayStation All Stars and just Smash. Yes. Yes. Because if PlayStation All Stars had been the competitive like PlayStation All Stars has combos. Yes. But just make make it so that you can score if by different means. If it played just like Smash it would be a really good game. I think it would be better. That's for sure. And it's and it is a little bit insulting to the devs to be like they tried to do something because they tried. Please don't make it like the thing
Starting point is 02:28:51 that we brought. Exactly. But sadly is the truth. But the thing is even if it had that I don't think it would have done any better because nobody was asking for that game. Nobody was asking for it but like there was a surprising turnout of people at launch being like yeah there's competitive stuff here. Oh yeah. It was definitely designed by the competitive people would have. Oh without a doubt. I think people would have stuck with it for longer had it been more competitive. You know yeah sure. Pat what was yours. That's the one I just said. So caliber five out of story mode. Like a proper weapon master mode. I would love that so much. That was my biggest like so caliber five is amazing. It's the best so caliber as far as the gameplay goes as far as
Starting point is 02:29:37 the content goes it's lacking. I disagree weapon master mode. Really. I disagree about which point we just about so caliber five being the best one. I just I thought so too. Like after playing five a whole bunch I thought so as well. But to be clear I'm not super like like tournament level. Oh me either. No dude me either. Yeah just making sure basic understanding of the game. Don't even know how to utilize all the mechanics but just in terms of a fun factor. Yeah I thought five was the best until I went back and I played all of them in one day with with a bunch of friends and two and three stand out. I mean one especially because of one is just one and it's amazing so caliber one. Yeah but three is actually a lot better than I remember it. Even though it's broken sure broken but it's
Starting point is 02:30:21 fun. I swear that I heard someone say the exact same thing. I believe I went back to and played three and it's good with three. I don't know and I haven't played it since it came out. Same here same here. I believe that. I gave you a lot of time. I gave it a crazy amount of time. Me too. Mainly because I came away unsatisfied. I gave it a lot of time because I love character creation and that had a big giant motor. Oh yeah that's over. Yeah. You're probably right regardless I would still want like a weapon master mode in five. I felt like probably not crazy. I felt like three just didn't hold a candle to two or one. I don't know. I mean four is but like in my head. Star killer though. Star killer. Yo that's star killer. Yeah I know I. And those characters
Starting point is 02:31:07 designed by mangaka. Giant nipples spike nipple lady whatever the hell her name was. That was her name spike nipple lady. Oh yeah. Fair enough man. I'd go to the pacific room game and add a single player campaign. Oh my god. Because that combat is have you ever played that max. No I think I saw you guys play it. I'm like this looks legitimate. Yeah that and real deal. Yook's made that they made real steel and they made pacific room and they're both yeah funner than they should be. Yeah okay if if you ever want to like try out like a like I think one of them has a demo real steel at least has a demo. They both because they're on 360. Yeah they're both on 360 and like they're both way more legit than they have any right to be. One on one arena combat. It's a box real
Starting point is 02:31:55 reason it's a boxing game. Oh wow okay. But it's just it's a really fun boxing game to player like I you dodge you weave you know all the movie real steel got you the movie. Yeah exactly so you you kind of have Steve Fox controls on both sides. Makes sense. You just you dodge and weave and hit and it's it's fun man. Yeah pacific room is more like a 3D fighter but like it's not super combo heavier. No not at all. Single hits. Like an older 3D fighter. Yeah like everything's a knockdown you know. Makes sense. It's really fun though. It's more like rock paper scissors type stuff. Yeah exactly. We got one from Vince he wants to know hey guys does Dead Rising Count as Musso. Is Dead Rising Count as Musso. No I don't think so. No I think absolutely not. I think
Starting point is 02:32:40 like the the main difference is like obviously you have a like massive weapon item selection but the mission variety is just it's just different. It's massive weapon item selection and a giant horde of nothing enemies. Plus it's like open world as opposed to Musso which is large levels. Conquer these bases. That's true. Well no it's it's the biggest difference is that Musso it's like conquer the bases and also it's a mission. We're open we're Dead Rising's open world and the primary enemy is not like there are bosses but the primary enemy is always time. With that being said you could totally do either game in the opposite style and I would be so willing to try. Yeah it would work. Definitely commonalities. Yeah what if Lu Buu got lost in
Starting point is 02:33:25 an ancient Chinese mall. Shit that sounds like the greatest game of this generation. And he has to protect other like his other generals. Take me over there Lu Buu. There's just 4,000 yellow turbine soldiers everywhere. Lu Buu got the penny shot. What? Amazing. Erotic. Alfie wants to know have you ever mained a character in a fighting game and you just knew you'd never see them again. I say this as a Karen main in Alpha 3. Yeah. Hakon. I feel like I will never see Hakon again. Yeah Hakon. Yeah I made Mega Man in Smash Brothers. Yeah right. Maybe who knows. Rick Stroud in Real Bout Fatal Fury. You fucking use this guy and you're like this is awesome. He's gone. He's gone forever. That's it. I know mine. Ranker. Oh god shout out about Ranker.
Starting point is 02:34:19 Yeah I know. Look up Ranker and Google everyone. No. Yeah do it. It's fun. It's fun. Why is it fun? Shut up. Look up Ranker and Power Moves. He's just some dude. Yeah. I guess that. Yeah I don't really have any others off the top of my head. Hakon's the one for me where it's like. Yeah Hakon the day I saw him I'm like he's never going to appear in another Street Fighter or Crossover or anything. Yeah. Ever again. I gotta say leading up to Smash 4 I you know Matt will attest to the fact that I kept saying fuck I want Ganondorf back and I want him the same but I did not think he was coming back as the same Ganondorf. I thought he was gonna be different. Pretty much the exact same almost. And although I'm happy because he's my favorite character
Starting point is 02:35:07 I would wish that he was different. I would wish that most characters. He needs the hair. He needs anything. He needs swords. He needs hair. Again that being said I'm really happy he turned out the way he did but I prefer the variety. I really really like Ruby Heart and I'm sad we'll never see her anywhere ever. Skull of Ruby Heart. The character that you invented. The character that I invented. That's correct. Max for backstory. Back in the day after Marvel 1 came out before Marvel 2. I was talking with friends and just kind of like sketchbook doodle type stupid shit and I said wouldn't it be awesome if there was a Marvel 2 and there was this pirate girl was a new original character and one of her supers would be a boat comes out and hits you.
Starting point is 02:35:53 I swear to god. And then Ruby Heart exists. But I designed her more of a buccaneer than a captain type of thing but it was a pirate girl and she had that move and then Ruby Heart came out. It's like fuck you Capcom. You ripped it out of my head. I love you. The funniest thing is like because you know the actual story behind Ruby Heart. Not like her story but where she came from right like the Dark Stalkers thing. No idea dude. I don't know. Tell us. Okay well since nobody has any idea. Max Max do the voices too. A long time ago in the land of Dark Stalkers Amingo and Ruby Heart existed but now they are resurrected in Marvel versus Capcom 2. That's pretty much it. No kidding. Yeah they were Dark Stalkers characters. That makes a lot more sense.
Starting point is 02:36:36 They were from Dark Stalkers 4 which was being made until they stopped making it. Yeah I can imagine a pirate being like a a horror sort of showy thing. Yeah or just like monster like Mexican cactus. That kind of makes me want Dark Stalkers 4 again. Like if Ruby Heart was active. That shit ain't happening. Yeah. You mentioned you mentioned everyone else. To be a buccaneer there was a pirate girl in one of the later Eternal Champions games that had like a bandana a dagger in her teeth. Her name was Riptide. Sure of course it was. So you're not original. But that explains that because I was like yeah those two characters were super like weird out of nowhere and like everyone else like even like Song Song came from
Starting point is 02:37:17 an old game. Exactly. You know like they they actually brought people back from things but yeah they're cancelled Dark Stalkers characters. Super makes sense and that's such a good place to pick from. Where you know. That'd be like if King Cobra appears in MVC4. Oh man King Cobra forever. Whenever I hear the name King Cobra I always think of the last guy fighting Vipers who was named BM. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah Bon had to take out BM. Yeah Serpentor. He looks like Serpentor slash Rathamon. Okay and let's take one more question from Daniel who says really long but the gist of it was I was a big fan of the guy who reviewed Bayo 2 for Polygon and I used to listen to a podcast he was associated with for over six years and basically followed this guy and
Starting point is 02:38:04 really liked him. But you know after a couple of articles and things that they put out I kind of started to get disheartened especially over like you know their stances on recent controversies and things like that. Basically I saw like kind of like a hero die in front of me and it really made me sad. Have you guys ever found that you've had someone you looked up to like that that you just kind of lost touch with what they said or did over time? I gotta say I still love him and I love him so much that I am giving him maximum benefit of the doubt for future games but Smash 4 shook me a little bit. It shook you on Sakurai? It shook me a little bit. Because you were on the mountaintops crazy. Sakurai is my favorite. He single-handedly destroyed my hands for the rest
Starting point is 02:38:55 of my life. The legend of Kirby Air Ride. And I love all his games. Smash 4 really shook me a little bit because it's you know we talked about it it's an objective step down in lots of ways and it's a subjective like non-improvement in a lot of ways as well and that's uncharacteristic of his games which are normally like massive leaps forward for sequels. I feel like I've seen it happen a couple times to me but we've discussed on the podcast like sometimes like separating people's work from their who they are and what they do and things like that. And I'm able to do that. You know what I mean? So it's the kind of thing where like we talked about how um uh oh god Orson Scott card apparently was involved with the story that they used to make
Starting point is 02:39:52 Ender's Game. Shadow Complex. Thank you. And I didn't know that at the time but hey I really still like Shadow Complex. I have no problem with that type of thing. I can separate that. Similarly um the lead singer of Muse which is I banned I fucking love to death for a while was just crazy going nah they sent the government sent planes into 9-11 like they did it they were true third type of thing yeah and he eventually like changed his mind like I'm sorry I was a dumb ass you know and it's like okay that's cool but it's the kind of thing where at the time I was just like yeah I I just I respect you for your work but you know I can separate myself from you know letting that ruin what I like about you type of thing. There was some you know the recently a
Starting point is 02:40:36 lot of people like got on Tim Schaeffer's case because of his involvement with the the Gamergate bits and whatnot and you know it's something where yeah I just feel like it's important to sort of separate the the two separate the person from their work so that you can't ever get really really destroyed if that happens no you're you're not wrong you're super not I think that's the right approach for it mine is like uh this like we've talked about him a lot here and there but like Dennis Dyak at a point I was like oh man his first showing I don't want to work there right and I was like oh my god these guys are Canadian they're working with Nintendo they're making a cool survival horror game oh my god they're the coolest
Starting point is 02:41:13 and then I remember he said specifically uh uh someone asked him a question like so are you like a second party or a third party then attending goes no we are Nintendo like we are so under their wing and we'll like just consider us part of Nintendo and then it was just like he saw the Wii and he's like that's dumb you guys are stupid I'm going to make a game that that no console could ever hold the majesty of two human and then it was just like such a disaster and then every other following disaster like even the Kickstarter for what the fuck was it called rise of the Eternals eternal super generic name super generic it was a play on eternal darkness that was the same title but with slightly different words that I can't remember and when I saw the the little
Starting point is 02:42:03 demo or movie I'm like that looks good but I was still like again like me I'm legit shook I'm like this is going to pan out it's all going to screw up and then like that that other that an employee that worked at silicon nights I had some pictures on his computer and that got fired from them and there's a police investigation like all of that just soured me so hard and it went from like I want to work there to like I don't even want to live in the same country as the fellow for anyone Canada is the best country though anyway that was that was kind of my like big fall from grace I don't think I've ever had that happen to me because I try not to believe in anything you go Pat yeah well no it's like you hate everything you can't she unending relentless
Starting point is 02:42:48 cynicism will save you from disappointment sure yeah you're not wrong you're totally not wrong it's like it like to an extent like there's some a lot of people in the games industry that I've been following for like over a decade like particularly the guys from giant bomb right and I'm huge fans of their work but even if like I found out that like Jeff was eating babies tomorrow like I'd be like oh yeah like we play games and write reviews and stuff like that it's like it's not Gandhi it's not when I found out that Gandhi was evil like Kimia could kick me in the balls and punch me in the face and you know I'd let it rock it's cool okay but what if Chris Avalon came to your door selling stuff yeah and knocked on your door while you're in the middle
Starting point is 02:43:34 of gaming and said here can I sell you this uh bell videotron package are you happy with your cable provider what if that happened pat I would uh I tried to pick the one and he left loose outside of pizza and he takes your bat he sees it and he grabs it first I will assume that his best work is behind him okay that's fair enough my other option was say Kimia was in charge of making a persona character action game and put gross micro dlc everywhere no that was my other option to give you god damn it this is actually a pretty tough question I'm having I'm having a hard time thinking of who it would be but one just came to mind even though I'm not really attached to it but I kind of am because it's associated with my favorite game ever burn those bridges max burn them
Starting point is 02:44:28 the the other one is like you guys are talking about like kind of like print loyalty like to magazines and stuff like that yeah I used to be like a slave to play magazine back in the day it was just just loved it and then I'd say the guy always loved reading his stuff and then one day like some of his reviews just burned me hard like Dave Halverson and he gave sonico 6 a 10 out of 10 and I was just like I think this guy might be smoking crack did he play that well he was he was an avid just he just loved sonic to death and every subsequent times people talked about he goes nah it's an 8.5 now yeah he would he would keep dropping it so 10 on 10 based on the promise because he had played a preview build and put that as the review maybe maybe that's what he said that's
Starting point is 02:45:19 a way to that's a way to oh Jesus Christ that was how does sauna keep coming back in every conversation I don't know right the life yeah that play magazine kind of burned me hard after that I was like I think I'm done other than that I would say kind of a developer slash you know big games personality in the industry that I really don't think that everything they touch is made of absolute solid gold anymore that I did before is tetsuya namura yeah I think I Final Fantasy 7 is my favorite game ever um I loved avent children I like all that shit all that most of the BS for Final Fantasy 7 I don't like dirge a Cerberus but a lot of this stuff he made I thought was really cool and his character designs but after yeah the bouncer was great bouncer was okay you know did you buy a
Starting point is 02:46:09 cell phone for before crisis no god no I didn't I wanted to know the story I didn't want to know that hard but in general I just think that the guy just I don't know if he knows how to actually make games anymore like if they're running into the same capcom issue where they just don't know how to make video games anymore and I've kind of lost complete faith no and and it's true like you see I can't believe I forgot his name I suck his dick so hard but you see the other guy who made type zero I can't fucking remember his name Tabata Tabata exactly ship like six games in the space that versus 13 doesn't ship yeah it's like you see that and you have to question yeah it does something it's just did namura have the idea 100% and like when you mentioned when you mentioned the play
Starting point is 02:46:53 magazine that just reminded me of how back in the day I used to just I my home page on my browser hire voltage n64.com which was wow for IGN the first incarnation of them I was that was my site and were you watching quick time movies of mk4 fatalities of ocarina of time yeah when he's in the woods and like that level they got reflective and all that you know like I used to just hover on that site and I followed IGN over the years my first email address was an IGN mail address wow you know what I mean I used to really be on board and then it just went the way of modern games journalism yeah I was on IGN I was searching n64 and Sega Saturn and PSX you know like those were the main headlines of that site yeah my I just totally got another one after we said that for me
Starting point is 02:47:45 it was Nintendo power did you get but heard at the manila folders no okay a lot of people did I used to love Nintendo power I still love the old issues of Nintendo power but very close to when future publishing acquired Nintendo power this was around the volume pokemon emerald was like announced near so to give you an idea of time it's like a what 2004 2005 it went downhill immediately and even I in my young age at the time noticed it like on the spot and like I kept my subscription going because I was young and I was you know yeah and then a power but like I stopped and like when it was coming to a close I didn't want to get the last issue like I have all the first issues I didn't want to finish it because it was a husk it was the new simpsons of magazines right the zombie
Starting point is 02:48:39 Nintendo power that's that was way after like I guess people like Matt and I my age just tapped out because the last run I got was the one with Lugia on the spine sure you know what I mean like what I liked about Nintendo power and I didn't read any other game magazines at the time because I was only playing Nintendo games at the time what I liked about Nintendo power was how it had coverage of the games that wasn't just previews and reviews but it was like this is a cut of our guide for the game or this is a cut of a guide we will never make for this game right look at the maps here as we walk you through the levels it was such a good like that combined with their review in my opinion gave you the best opinion on a game right because you got a an objective rundown of
Starting point is 02:49:24 of a chunk of the game plus a review you know plus whatever coverage leading up to it and that turned they got rid of that and it turned into preview preview preview preview review you know the modern game it became like the standard became the same everything else and it was no longer about like looking all these cool things in this just really know so much about a bunch of games I've had worse where it's like kind of generally I felt the same but I actually felt the reviews got better because they used a better scoring system because when I remember Nintendo power it was here are the pluses here are the minuses and then that was it they eventually rotated to what I think was the best scoring system where they had a panel of four plus judges oh the GM giving it a
Starting point is 02:50:05 10 point review yeah okay and that was the best okay what you know yeah different panel of judges yeah I'd say hands down best classic scoring system crazy red dude face from game from game this game makes you go insane yeah I believe it that's a metric I can get yeah I know that was always great we need angry red face critic dog yeah I think I think that's part of how like people latched on to new grounds rating system so fast was like they reminded everyone of game that was true pictures though it was like one to ten not one to five max what have you got coming up on your channel and what are you looking forward to holy hell well what's funny is that I've already played the entire game and I cannot wait to play
Starting point is 02:50:56 ban at a two again oh boy I I played the entire game completely in English I cannot wait to play it completely in English all over again uh legend I know we kind of promised that we talk about bail a lot on this episode it doesn't come out well not only that but then I realized I was super but hurt jealous that you played it and I didn't want to hear anything yeah I knew I that was the only thing I wanted to say I'm not gonna lie I was trying really hard to not watch bail footage but that one video you put up of that one Easter egg dude and I had to watch it there's amazing that's just one thing like that's that's when it's a very obvious thing but there's other stuff like kind of like the evil within references to previous games that is in there and it's just like oh my god
Starting point is 02:51:40 you guys didn't do this holy shit like Kamiya stuff you know what I mean right yeah I guess you're so there's a lot of that in that game and not to mention it's it's an okay video game you know it's okay it's all right it's all right it's pretty good I just want to ask why they didn't embarrass since you seem to have an interest in in this kind of game are you are you gonna play Kora this week I was just about to say that yeah I'm hoping Kora drops like midnight tonight or something like that so I can start grinding on it I did play a lot of it at comic con um so I've already had my hands on it it's not as deep as something like bayonetta it is it is kind of feel like a $20 game or a $15 game which it is but naturally you can do crazy ass combos on guys and yeah playing
Starting point is 02:52:22 that game on the hardest difficulty probably to start will be the good idea just like I recommend with Bayo too well I remember that interview they're like the final difficulty is what platinum game fans expect yeah dude it's the the p-star expectation you know it's not like the Hyrule Warriors upgraded difficulty where it's just you just take more damage you know right it's it's damage and enemies become sponges yeah exactly so yeah I would definitely recommend if you guys play bayo or anybody listening if you like action games or understand combat engines in any way play it on the hardest difficulty it starts you off with because it's not even that hard cool that's uh that's good advice I mean as far as depth goes like I'm definitely expecting it to
Starting point is 02:53:00 be a bit more like revengeance which was a lot lighter than bayo but fine yes yeah pretty much it's about the same it's about the same difficulty like hard mode revengeance mm-hmm okay uh going around my next yeah what that Japan Pat tell us tell us what yo I'm looking forward to Japan I'm probably gonna go down to Kyoto you should probably gonna go down to Tokyo I'm looking forward to Universal Studios yeah and during my downtime I will be struggling through learning katakana hiragana and trying to play monster hunter dude Pat while you're over there here guys totally manageable so I think you can do it yeah like I need I just need to get to the point where I can look words up in a dictionary sure when you and then I'll be able to then I'll
Starting point is 02:53:43 be able to like manually translate all the menus and then I'll be fine yeah Pat while you're over there there's this crazy thing that you got to try um I've been told by all these friends like that that have been to the area and stuff like that and they find restaurants but they're kind of hard to find and they're really hard to find especially where we live there's this thing called sushi dude I hear it's really good you should give it a shot and really yeah yeah it's raw fish I'm actually I have to try authentic once okay but like honestly like the chicken and the pork here has been the ridiculous standout you haven't even tried the beef chicken I have not tried the beef yet what's up that place around the corner big in Japan yes size of bookstore that's actually a
Starting point is 02:54:29 restaurant man yeah no we went around the side and it was like a fucking bookstore okay all right what the hell I went I went there and that was awesome pork too yeah um Pat if you go when you head down there you go to Don Quixote you get some fucking blackout god you bring it back with you if you don't don't even come back you're right I forgot I forgot I was had to bring back yeah I hope you can bring some that'd be awesome I'll try and bring at least four right so we can do it on the podcast all right that'd be nice and I'm kind of bummed too because like I just missed on the Saturday that I left was the um I was going to call it the Sengeki Cup where uh like a but like a Diego was down there and a couple other players were down there and it was just a
Starting point is 02:55:12 crazy like yeah you could have gone down there and gotten bodied and I could have gotten bodied in record time it would have been awesome you could have seen if Diego would remember you yes exactly you know like remember me remember me the most important day of your life you're just dude from other M and I remember you right and I and I could have seen I could have seen a Nishikin take out Kazunoko blank out beating Yung that was legendary it's great stuff anyway um yeah do that and try the beef pat man already did I'll do it I'm trying everything beef pat man do it come down right uh I guess I'm excited good good you should be uh this week I guess I'm I'm most excited for Korra I'm really excited for Korra uh I I'm bummed that I have to wait an extra day for
