Castle Super Beast - SBFC 070: God Supports Straight Shota

Episode Date: December 9, 2014

Welcome to the Blitzcast. Too much news. Not enough time. NO WAY OUT.

The ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. The best friends. The best friends is proud to bring to you a very, very special episode of The Friend Test. How special is it? This episode is the Blitzcast, ladies and gentlemen. So here's what we're doing. Rapid fire, you might say.

Here's what's going on. We have a chess clock. We have four news. Six articles of news. And we're going to blow half the podcast on one of them. No. No, no, no. Here's what's going on.

I know what he's going. He's like, let's see if we can do it. Here's what's going on. We have our intro. We're going to talk. We're going to see how everyone's doing. Yeah. Keep it brief.

Keep it brief. We're going to start rolling. We have two minutes to talk about each topic. So do we get two sentences each more or less? We get two minutes to talk about each topic normally. Wait. Each each. No, all together.

I bring up a topic. We have two minutes. Okay. So you're, you're, yeah, you have to be a ballie there. Emily's just going to kick down the wall if we take too long. So you did, this is, there's, you're going to teabag us. Okay. This is not going to work.

It's very simple. It's very, very simple. We keep our ears out. We keep our ears peeled and at the two minute mark, we need to move on. I like this. I like this. This is a good format. All right.

How long did it take you to cobble together like the news list this week? It was long. It was long. And I don't know whether- Why was it long this week, Willie? I don't know when you decided this, but like when I threw in my bits before or after you decided this. You threw in your bits after.

Oh, shit. Okay. All right. I just, I just, you know, I got the bits from you. I threw them on the pile and I did the math. Right. This is what it works out to. Two minutes.

Sometimes math is useful. All right. Oh man. That's how it rolls. All right. Let's, then we have time for some letters and whatnot, but we don't have to rush it just yet. We can take it easy a little bit.

I'm going to pull my clock so I know when I'm going along. No problem. Because I don't want to be, I don't want to be, you know. You're going along right now. Oh no. We can ease on in and I'll start with my birthday. Happy birthday. Is that why you're drinking all week?

All week. But it's only part of the reason. You showed up to several different events. Drugs. Several functions. Like multiple consecutive times you walked in the door drunk, including one at like noon. We're having a good time. No problem.

So here's what's up. I hit a certain age. 23 again. Yeah. No, I'm 29 now. Oh, that's the perfect age. It's the most useless random age of nothing. I don't know.

It's the cost of your experienced prime while you still have most of your youthful vigor. Ish. But I'm sort of expected to have responsibilities for reals real soon. Yeah, but I just mean 29 is the age. You're never ever going to be better than you are right. My reflexes, my stamina, your health, virility is already on the way down. You know, we're like dudes fucking, we cash out nice and early on that one. But uh.

At 17. Yeah. Pretty much. And women are 30. It's so fucked. It's so fucked. It's a practical. I forgot what comedian it said.

It's like, hey, how about you go through the, was it Bill Burr? You go through your sexual peak when you're living at home with your parents. Hey dad, can I have a bunch of girls over and have a bunch of sex? No. If you ever wanted more. Not until your birthday. God supports straight soda. Yeah.

So. So. Here's what I did. Book of Mormon. Yeah. I got to see that live and not on a cheap, shitty recording. Yeah. That you totally paid legitimately for.

That may have been provided by the. Enablers. Yes. Yeah. Wherever they may be. No, goddamn, that show's great. It's so fucking great. The song's great.

Everything's great. And like you, even when you know what's going to happen, you forget about certain key moments. Yeah. Like the entire audience just breaks out laughing. And it's like, this is an audience in particular, my group. And I think you mentioned your group as well. I think there's the same thing. Old white people.

Yeah, lots of old white people. Lots of old white people. I remember. They wandered in. They went, oh, I can't just see it. I remember Matt and Trey were talking about how they, they went to like Utah and like. Oh God. Did that shit and with the.

Rough crowd. Yeah. And the woman's like, oh man, I can't believe they got that in there. Yeah. They got that. Oh, Ezekiel. And all that, you know, crazy shit. I am Marona.

The All-American Angel. Yeah. It's, it's for the casuals and the hardcore Mormons. Some of the like lines in it just expose how fucked it is. Yes. Like when God changed his mind about black people in 1971. 1971. Yeah.

I believe when they all inherit my own planet. Yeah. Because a Mormon just believes. Fucking Orlando song or Orlando. So fucking. Orlando. So yes. Book of Mormon is the shit.

Other things that happened was I played a fuck ton of Ultimax. It's a good game. Yeah. Okay. It's a good game. Yep. Yep. Um, watched Star Wars.

How do you like Culprit, by the way? Culprit's great. It's the boss. It's the boss. It's great. The thing is, is like, you know, mating Akihiko, it's the same basic problem where it's like everyone has giant swinging weapon hit boxes and you just can't get in. A kanji, man.

I got the whole screen swing. So that Akihiko kanji turned into a 9-1 matchup for Kenji. Whoa. It is now a 9-1 matchup for Akihiko. Whoa. For actual? Yeah. For real.

For actual. You said you saw Star Wars? I just went to, I wanted to go watch J.J. Brim's 09 Star Wars again. Star Trek. Sorry. Star Trek right out there. Yeah.

I just, because like, Interdarkness was like, yeah, you know, I enjoyed it, but whatever. And I went too far. But I walked out going like, that was a good movie, you know, whatever. Yeah. But watching this one, I was like, holy shit, this was amazing. The first one's made better. Killed it. I forgot how much better, you know, so.

Well, the first one has a weaker villain than the second one. The second movie is still overall. But the first one does such a good job setting up. Yeah, I think part of the problem is like the setup in the new universe is way more interesting than anything they could possibly do in that universe. No. And that being said, the ingredients of the second one, fucking Cumberpatches as con, is the coolest thing you can come up with.

A lot of people took exception to that at the time. I don't know. I think it should have been Ricardo Montaban in a skeleton. Yeah, in a skeleton. Yeah, in a skeleton. In a skeleton. He's wearing like a Halloween black-suited skeleton costume. That being said, Cumberpatches is doing a new, the new movie Replace Touring.

That's really cool. Yeah, and he's Dr. Strange. Yeah. And Charles Dance is in there with him, fucking Tywin, playing next to him. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. Anyway, there's that. I also played a bunch of Secret Ponchos.

Yeah. What's the point of that game, though? You can't unlock anything. Oh, my God, that thread was the most, my favorite. Yeah, there's a Neo Gap thread where a guy was like, he wrote, what the fuck is the point? There's no leveling up. I can't unlock stuff.

And then people reburied him so bad, he then changed what he said. I'm sorry, I guess. I'm sorry. Please don't yell at me anymore. However, there is a problem that's a serious bug right now. It's the game save thing, right? You straight up just lose your character. You close the game and you have no, because there's no local save.

It's all server based. That's a problem, right? I will now wait for the Secret Ponchos. Is it? I didn't know that. Because it's like you, it's a server. It's an online thing. So your uploads, your character saves to the server and then you go back in

and then it's gone. And you're like, whoopsie. Maybe they had way more traffic than they expected because it was on PS Plus. It sucks because eventually they came up with a little thing on the main menu going, we are aware of the bug and we're trying to fix it. Online, some of the talk forums are suggesting it's only when you play certain types of matches. I haven't had it a third time. But you got it twice?

But you don't know. But it wasn't fun. That's quite a burn. That being said, the game itself, great. Yeah, I played a few rounds. It's really fun. Lots of fun. Once you pick up the intricacies of the different characters and how they match up together.

And the character designs are so awesome. Yeah, I really like the Matador a lot. Yeah, I know. So big shout outs to that. And I guess if you've been paying attention, the only way I could have played Secret Ponchos would have been on my brand spanking new PS4. Oh. So I woke up.

That's a curious purchase. I woke up and I got a tweet, not a tweet, I got a message from Liam on my phone. Text message. And then I saw my fucking computer blowing up. And then I got a call from Pat. Yeah, I woke up because my phone was literally insane. I got a text message. And I got another text message.

And I got another text message. And I'm like, OK, I have to actually get up and answer my phone. I sent you that text because I felt deep in my body like it had to be the first thing you saw when I won't be able to answer. Then I look at the proof. Then I go, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Holy, are you awake? No, you're not awake.

Damn. What are you doing right now? I'm putting on your coat. It was very calm. Liam, what time did you get up that morning? Like nine. Not even as early as it could have been. I got up at 6.30 because I couldn't sleep and I just started working on crap.

And then I see all that blow up early that morning. That was all really early, all that leaked. And I saw all that. I was just, I was in like suspended animation where I'm like, I'm just going to let everyone see this their own way. Because it's going to be very special. What was it that happened to you? Yeah, it was Bayo.

It's Bayo. When I woke up, I went on Facebook. I saw people go, oh my god, Bayo too. And my initial reaction for several hours was, you guys are dicks. Yeah. Why are you all like lying to me? Why are you all saying that you're liars? Straight up like turn off the computer and went and played something.

And then came back later and went on Gaff and saw a top and like, what? What? He really got Bayo too in the most raw way possible. Standing in the middle of a meeting at work. Yeah. We're looking at a silenced computer and our boss couldn't see. He can't react because we can't make any noises because he's talking to us. So we're just staring at it, slowly freaking out.

That's like being interviewed by like a general and you know stuff, but you're not allowed to like give a tell. Exactly. And you just, you see the gun coming up to your head from behind, you know. But no, so it was, it was a very calm, I clicked. And before I, like the, you know, the time bar. Yeah. When you're about to finish watching the video, it gets to the point where it says exclusively

on P and it's pause. I don't even let it end. You get up, you walk outside, you buy your fucking PS4 and you bring it home. And I remember it was just last week was the other week where you were like, I'll get something. I'll get one. Yeah. We were having the talk.

We were talking about the talk. And we said, are you going to get blood born? Do you think the price is going to drop before blood born comes out? And then, so just get it right now. And you're like, no, it needs to be something. And it's like, well, you take a half second to go. Wait, what if this leak is just like a timed exclusive? Who gives a fuck?

What am I going to not going to do? I'm going to not play Street Fighter. Fuck out of here. You rock the X-Bone. You're fucking clueless. Even, even if it was a week long timed exclusive, like you should not play Street Fighter. Of course. I have a, I have a K.I. box.

And now I've got a five box. It's done. It's over. That's it. That's how I buy consoles. So that's happened. One day you'll have to get a Star Citizen box. And that's, that's all there is to say about it.

You have to get a Night Hood box. Until we roll in a bit further into the podcast. But, and the last bit of thing I did was I watched Interstellar. Yeah. What do you think of that movie? Okay. Here's the deal. I thought it was all right.

Okay. I thought it was all right. Was it worse or better than Gravity? Cause you like Gravity a lot. I like Gravity way more. I haven't seen Interstellar yet, but I dis, I dis, I don't dislike Gravity, but I think it's all right. Okay.

Yeah. Interstellar suffers from a different problem. Interstellar is all right, but the, but the issues cause, and I'm glad I, this was reinforced when I kind of checked it out to see how it was trending on Rotten Tomatoes. Cause I was arguing with the girlfriend afterwards. Like 60 or 70 or something. It has all the amazing awe of space and adventure that you get from 2001 A Space Odyssey. Yeah.

It doesn't have the same reverence for it where you spend that much time just appreciating it. But the content is there. But the content is there, right? However, it is bogged down with over sentimentality and Hollywoodized explanations of things that astronauts should know. You're a fucking scientist. You're an astronaut in space.

You wouldn't. In super space. A, having questions about things on this mission considering you would have rolled through all of these possibilities beforehand and you wouldn't be having these emotional breakdowns and arguments and silly little drama with each other. In Apollo 13. You're a fucking scientist. Tom Hanks and crew don't sit there and explain to each other how the fucking shuttle gets

into orbit. Exactly. Because they know how it gets into orbit. So there's points on the mission where it's like there's a guy on the team answering questions of what is this thing? Yeah. And it's like, no, that would never happen. They would get the specialist to give them advice on what's the best route or something.

Yeah. And not to define something. Apollo 13 does this perfectly because the whole, the science question in that movie is are we going to be able to slingshot around the moon? Exactly. And the reason why they're all talking about it and don't know is because they didn't fucking know. Yes.

And that's an actual unknown. And that's exactly like, I brought up Apollo 13. I brought up moon and I brought up. I should mention I didn't see any stellar images. Oh, fucking moon. I brought up so fucking good. I brought up gravity as examples where you have this character that's a scientist, that's an astronaut that is like having drama and having problems and emotional torment.

But there's nothing that breaks you out of them being an informed specialist. Right. You know, the emotional trauma they're having is all believable within the context of them still being in control of the situation to some degree. And here you have ridiculous childish things happening. Like straight up. You don't get to go to space unless you're a fucking genius. More or less.

Like gravity got to sidestep that by saying it's 50 years in the future and you need special technicians that don't know space stuff. But space stuff is fine, et cetera. But in the modern context, you don't get to go to space unless you have the discipline of like a fucking airplane pilot and you're a genius and you're the best of the best. And are still it takes place like in the future, like 20 years or something? There's, yeah. Like, yeah.

And I don't want to go too far into the specifics of it. But like that stuff was like a detractor and then the other bit is just the amounts of like space magic bullshit that ends up affecting like not the main character, but the supporting cast in some ways. Like a lot of the stuff that's happening back on earth, in my opinion, is just like this is getting way out of hand and ridiculous. I'm like space magic. What do you mean?

Like, I can't get into it without spoiling no, of course, of course, but like everything people, okay, people on earth are figuring things out for no reason time is passing. But but like there's some there's moments where people go, Oh my God, I got it. That's how you figure something out, but no, but out with with nothing. They just magically, they magically get like, like psychic communications. I don't agree with you, but I'll talk about it later with you. You guys are about this in private, basically, in private, in a closed room, in a bathroom, the biggest one, of course, being the final one, sure, and the final sort of Eureka moment

where it's like, there's nothing that points to the person being able to figure that out. Well, we'll talk about it later because I disagree, but yeah, it's a good movie. And yeah, you know, and like when I when I after having a debate with it with my girlfriend, I go and I checked rotten tomatoes to see it was like 73%. So I'm like, okay, it is divisive and even the even the non busts are saying it's it doesn't it's like 2001, but it's bogged down by this modern stuff. So it's like Nolan is a good director. He knows what the fuck he's doing, but the fact that Hollywood audiences need to have

some things pandered to them, it kind of sucks for a movie like this, where it would be nowadays, it's harder to figure out when a director gets to gets the final say on stuff or where they're marking everyone else goes, no, dumb it down. Yeah, because or you can send this cut to us if you want, but we're going to chop and screw it. However, like Prometheus is a thing like that where and this has the classic Nolan like four endings type of thing where you say you could have ran the credits there, but you didn't.

Yeah. You know, so you kind of see a bit of that happening as well. It's like, I don't know if he wanted this or if it was a committee, but anyway, what do you think of the sound mixing the sound mixing? I thought it was fine. It's fine. Exactly. I thought it was fine.

It's loud, but it's it's supposed to be loud and and and it lends itself to the ambiance in the same way that our screwed up shitty voices in the fall lend itself to the ambiance. I'm glad. That's the angle. That's the angle. It sounds like Liam and I are talking in space. It wasn't our angle, but some people are like, yeah, it sounds like they're in space. Oh, that's two.

So that's cool. Okay. Well, you saved it there. A little bit. Okay. Now I'm done. I had a real short week. All I did was play Baldur's Gate, watch the things with you guys.

And then I found out my PS4's GPU is melting. I took a video. And we were playing. We had just finished playing Evil Within. Evil Within, yeah. And I'm looking at the title screen. You're pointing at your TV. And I'm like, what is that weird flicker at the top of these blue dots?

Keep flickering. That's what happens when you leave your PS4 in a cool, dry place. I keep it cool. I know. I know. And you exhale cigarette smoke into the disk tray and then I'm like, okay, let's let's do the thing out of the HDMI switcher. Nope.

That didn't solve it out of the Elgato. Nope. Out into a different HDMI port using a different HDMI cable. Okay. I've done all the manual troubleshooting. Yes. Uh-oh. Yeah.

Upload a video of it to the internet and send it to both of you guys, neither of you responded, which is bad. Well, because I already saw it at your place and I was just like, well, I don't know what that is. Well, you guys test and saw broken consoles all the time, I assume. I'm not a PS4. It was just a firmware thing. I wouldn't say all the time, but anyway, the point is you guys didn't respond just by

having seen the video. I'm like, uh-oh. Call Sony, send them the photo. They're like, we can rebuild the database. Well, what do you want them to do? But I'm already living in it. And I'm like, okay, well, let's rebuild it. It's still totally there.

They're like, well, you're going to have to send it in for repair. And I'm like, no. Yes. Exert comes out next week. Osiris is out tomorrow. Yep. Oh. And I'm two weeks out of warranty.

That sucks. That sucks. You didn't play it. You didn't leave it on for like hours at a time. There's no reason why you should have melted up all this fault. Pat's is in a cool, dry place with plenty of clearance on all spots. Maybe the tape you put on it fucked it up. I don't have any tape on the PS4.

Oh, I thought you put tape on the PS4. It's the only one that has no tape. Oh, okay. Is there a time frame in which this would have been better for you? A more convenient brand? Two weeks ago. Two weeks ago. Bloodborne.

Two and a half weeks ago. And the worst part is I've noticed this problem for the past month. Oh, no. I've always thought it was because I had the new HDMI switcher or the new Elkato. And your face got really close to it this time. You're like, no, wait, what is this thing? I'm like, okay, if I turn the console off and then if you're back on, problem's gone. But if I run a game, any game, it comes back as like that's the GPU heating up.

That some part of this component is fucked. That really sucks. It was really a George Costanzo moment because it was like him saying, what is this? What's this thing on my back? Remember there was like a little white splotchy? Oh, yeah. He's like, I don't know what it is. He's like, lupus, is that lupus?

So after the podcast, I'm going to call Sony and tell them my reference number and they're going to send me a little coffin. And I'm going to be without my PS4 for maybe a month. That sucks that you've got to wait for the coffin. No, the coffin's good because that means I don't have to pay for it. No, I know that, but it just more time. But three to five days for the coffin? Seven to ten days for the repair?

But those are all business days. So who the fuck knows? You want to borrow mine? No. Okay. No, I'm good. I don't want to borrow other. We'll finish Evil Within on Matt's PS4.

I have all the saves in the cloud and on a USB. So this is the third or fourth blight on the Evil Within playthrough, right? It's cursed. So the audacity shit itself for no reason. The PC version crashed three times within an hour. The fucking console is being killed by evil. I'm going to say evil. I said on Twitter that Evil Within did it and I was kind of a joke and it's like,

okay, no wait guys, Evil Within isn't destroying consoles. It's just the timing of the curse. And I fully expect like the saves in the cloud and on USB are irrevocably corrupted for no reason. Or is it that that's on the cusp of an international powder keg ready to explode? Maybe. Because the Dark Souls playthrough is getting cursed for a minute there. People will find out about that. Something was happening with the online connection or something

and we were running in all these weird coercion bugs. It was getting fucked man. Yeah, so I'm going to be playing a lot of PC games the next fucking couple weeks. Geez. Blight. Blight? That was your blight too. I guess that would count as your blight.

You guys were watching all those conferences and stuff and on that Saturday, same Saturday as the Playsage of Spirits, I had the Clash of the Titans of my family. Did you get it on camera? I did not get it on camera. What is that Maddie? My family met my fiance's family for the first time and there was no reason for me to be nervous.

I'm sure they're going to get along fine. She's a loud Italian family. You're nervous because if it goes badly your life is over. Not over, just more difficult. Which is basically over. We had just a long, gigantic Italian meal. I've been trying to eat less and less in a meal, you know what I mean? And then the family's like, fuck that.

So then they go, here's your orders. Tons of meat, tons of bread, tons of cheese. All right, eat that. Okay, now here's your pasta dish. It's the first course. Then you have that. Okay, well now here comes the meat and the veggies. I'm going to assume, and by the meat you're like,

the in-laws are the hosts. Probably the host actually. I'm going to assume the in-laws are the hosts. This is at their giant mansion. Giant Italian mansion. Yeah, I know. I don't know how many people are buried under the floorboards. I'm assuming all of them.

Why are these all these tough looking guys in suits all over the place, honey? Those are our butlers. And then after that it was okay, now you have the tea, all right. Now you have the dessert tray, two of them. Now you have the fruit tray, which comes out later. Wait, what? Which is tangerines, watermelon, and then you have after the meal roasted chestnuts.

And they're going, oh, this is Italian. This is Italian. We're trying to like it. How does this work? How are you people not 800 pounds? And I was just like, oh my god, I'm going to be so sick tonight. I felt fantastic. I felt great, slept like a baby.

And usually I'm always worried that I'm like, oh, I'm going to get stomach problems. I'm going to shit my ass off. Yeah, it was the best fucking sleep I ever had. Well, also because it went well, all that anxiety just fell out of you. And you're like, oh my god. You didn't have to unleash the Kraken. No, not the Kraken.

What does that mean? What does that mean in that context? Because that sounds like taking his dick out at the table. And then play the airship theme. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Do your icebreaker initiate. I also had time to, I had that little dumb video I did of me playing the Godzilla game. And Liam has a little bit of a thing where Liam felt really bad because...

I was butthurt because I downloaded the demo so I could surprise Matt with it one time. And then he went into the video and I was like, oh. I had a couple of people on Twitter just saying, Matt, Matt, Godzilla demo. And I'm like, oh god, I finally have to make a fucking Japanese account. So I found a tutorial thing. And you know, I could basically say in the video, it's like, it's a fun little thing. But I think when it actually comes out over on these shores,

they have to do one thing and which is make all the dialogue and voices EDF. Because if not, it's going to be dry because the gameplay is fine and fun for what it is. It's a little clunky here and there. But if that dialogue and all the thing is like really cheesy and bonkers, then that will go a long way. Is Jet Jaguar a piece of shit? In the demo? It's a destructive article that like Jet Jaguar looks like an asshole at the skate.

It's like just too hard to hate. Yeah, apparently he's really hard in the demo. It's like you can fight Mothra, Mechagodzilla, and Ghidorah, and they randomly cycle in the demo levels. But I don't think Jet Jaguar is in it. But yeah, I can't wait to fight them. I also had time to put into Captain Toad, Treasure Tracker. Did you beat it?

I did not beat it. I don't have four hours to spare. I keep hearing that game is hilariously short. I mean, at the same time, I guess it should be... Is it 40 bucks? It's 40 bucks. $10 an hour. 40 bucks, 70 levels.

Wow, it's 70 levels and... Put stuff on the box, right? Those levels must be short. Did you play it at PAX? I played it at PAX and I played the... No, I didn't play it at PAX. I'm thinking of the fucking Super Mario 3D World. Four hours asterisk if you're not an idiot.

Yeah, probably. But I am an idiot. It's not so much that it's a great, fantastic game, but the thing you take away from it is like, wow, someone put something in another game and then they went, hey, we can... It's one of those people who have good ideas and actually spin it off.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's just like, that's what you take away from it. And it's just charming and general. I care so much more about Geometry Wars than fucking Project Gotham Racing. Yeah. Well, like how Willie cares about the club more than Geometry Wars. No one likes Triple Triad, way more than FFA.

Yeah, there we go. Come at me, fuckers, come at me. You're wrong. I also saw Book of Mormon. Me and Liam had our dates and we went separately. Then Willie's group and we both, I think, really enjoyed it. You really enjoyed it. It was great. I was saying to you that my only...

You guys went in cold, right? I mean, I saw one song. I had seen a song or two on YouTube. But the actual story I was unfamiliar with... We knew the tone. Yeah, I knew the tone. Did you know that there were maggots in the scrotum? No.

Maggots in my scrotum. Okay. I think that was one of the more flat jokes, to be honest. Well, when it went on the second or third time. Yeah. Like the first time. Yeah, exactly. My only thing with...

I think I told you is that there's that one song where the Africans have to reiterate what they learned about Mormonism. Yeah. And that was a song that went on so long that it was just for the gag that you knew what the song was going to be. Right. And it was just like the one song where I was just like, I'm getting tired of this song now.

But the rest of it was... The sets. All the sets were just so fantastic. The way that they... And the choreography. And the fact that it's a parody, but it's super legit. Yeah. As a Broadway performance.

Yeah. I think it's really cool that like Matt and Trey are able to just sort of... Yeah. Shin on that for the rest of their life. Just fuck South Park for a little while. Let's just do this. But now we'll do South Park every week. You know Trey's better than a better actor than Kevin Spacey, right?

Yeah. Most people are. You won that award. That was it now. That was fun. There was one song that I didn't like so much. Which one? I loved the idea behind it.

The Creepy Mormon Hell Dream. Oh yeah. The Spooky Mormon Hell Dream. That's funny. I loved the idea of the Spooky Mormon Hell Dream. And the beginning of that scene was great. But by the end of the song I was like... It did go on a little bit long too, I guess.

I really liked it though. It was a two hour performance. And while we were there, I kind of talked to you about it briefly. But at the same venue that we were at for Book of Mormon, they announced the Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses Master Quest. So I instantly bought tickets for that. Yeah. Because you and I and Woolly are going to that one.

I confirmed, right? I confirmed. Yeah, I confirmed. Because I assumed that a link between worlds music will be there and probably... What would hope? Maybe even Hyrule Warriors, like electric guitars. I would love if Tommy came in to do an original song and hell off stage. He sits on the side every once in a while going...

Every like fucking 15 seconds while you're playing. And then everyone in the crowd is like... Can't wait for them to play Lana's theme that no one said. Yeah. Because no one. And I read some manga called One Punch Man. I don't really know much about it. What do you think of it?

How much do you read it? All I see is Matt has uploaded a photo to you to Facebook. And it's just the gorilla face with the bloody nose looking with stony things. I got to about like part 20-ish in the place that I was reading. My only thing about... It's just fantastic. It's funny. It's drawn really, really well.

And it's also drawn poorly in a good way sometimes. Because people's expressions are sometimes nothing. Whenever it needs to be serious, they draw it poorly. My only real thing is that in the start of it, I was kind of like... I kind of thought he was like a cool, awesome looking guy. Just like this meatball nerd. And then I was like, oh, I kind of wouldn't want like a cool, badass. I don't know.

A cyborg guy that shoots cool blasts. And then that's why they put him in there. Because he has like a secondary character that shows up. And I'm like, oh, that's why. To put that guy in there to make fun of that type of character. And everyone else has to fight as hard as they possibly can. And they don't even approach him. And the cyborg is legitimately badass.

Yeah. He looks really cool. The Naruto guy that I don't know. Have you seen any of the gifs? The animated sequences. I've seen one of those. I've seen one of those. Honestly, because as I'm clicking through them, I'm like, this is fucking genius.

I love when manga do that. And they almost never do. And this one has like at least seven or eight moments of that. It's like you're just turning page after page. And it's like you're reading a storyboard. There was a joke or two that when you guys had talked about in the podcast last week. That when I got to, I was like, oh, I would have not liked to have known about that joke. Because I would have laughed more.

And the one I'm thinking of specifically is like when the lion guy has been killed by one. Yeah. And then he holds up like an eyeball and says, oh, this guy. I'm like, oh, I would have loved. But the joke that you did spoil, but there was still like the best joke ever, which is my name is. And then he was just exploding. Paper the ceiling.

Paper the ceiling. Like that is just funny because visually it will always be funny. Yeah. And in a big scary font too. My name is. Yeah. So it was really hilarious. The underground people.

Yeah. That was good. This is the feeling I've been waiting for. Waking up. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, that about sums it up for me. What about you, Layton?

I didn't do much this week. You know, of course we all watched those VGAs and stuff. I saw the Book of Mormon as you heard. That was fucking great. I've continued playing Assassin's Creed Unity, but I've hit the like 35 hour mark and it's starting to run dry. It's doing the thing. Uh, so I fell back into the Hyrule Warriors hole and I hit the 65 hour mark and it has

not felt dry. Well, you just take a long break. Using the new weapons and then you like. Yeah. You're taking another? No, I haven't. I've tried. Yeah.

I tried as midnight a little bit. Me and my girlfriend are still playing it and it's like there's so much stuff in that game. And it's like Assassin's Creed Unity has so much stuff, but I'm getting tired. Hyrule Warriors is a really good set up. It sounds like a former boss would say that. When you try a new thing, that new thing is going to stay new for 45 minutes because that's how long a stage is.

Something like that. Yeah. And that lets them keep weight like a relatively smaller amount of new things. The gameplay loop is designed around full missions, whereas Unity's gameplay loop is abstract and it's around individual rewards. That makes sense. Good gameplay loop. It's important.

Yeah. Hyrule Warriors is fucking great, man. Good game. I never thought I'd be as into a Musso game as this. Yeah, me too. I remember I saw it when I was on my phone checking out just Twitter during the PlayStation experience. I had no other PlayStation experience than the Game of War.

They just saw Jim Sterling saying, why aren't they talking about Hyrule Warriors? What time is it? It's Hyrule Warriors time. I'm stopping to watch this and I'm going to play Hyrule Warriors. He loves Warriors, doesn't he? Yeah, he loves Warriors in general. He's like, this is the best Warriors ever. He hates Vanquish.

I'm a Vanquish Warriors income. Warriors convinces me that I would like Musso as long as I occasionally dabble my toes. That's the Zelda one, you mean? Yeah. Hyrule Warrior, yeah. As long as I keep my toes wet and nothing else, I'll be fine. Don't put your whole leg in there. Well, the Zelda one is just good because it's like, we all like Hokuto, but the fucking Hokuto

Musso's are bad. The second one's terrible. Yeah. So that's what I mean. No, people talking about the Gundam ones either. They'd rather play versus games. I know some guys who love the Gundam ones, but it's more just that they don't know that the versus games exist.

Why not just go play the fucking versus games? Because they don't know they exist. And they're like, oh, there's a Gundam game. I like Gundam. If you have one that's the quality-wise of Hyrule Warriors, but it's Berserk, man. That would be the one. And that makes so much sense, like Midland and Tudor Empires. Well, the next one's Dragon Quest.

That one's going to be high quality for sure. But I don't care that much about Dragon Quest. I don't want to see guts swinging the sword and knocking guys back. I want to see them carved in half. No, like the PS2 version. Like the PS2 game. No, but since the Hokuto games are violent, I'm sure they can do that. Yeah.

They'll be ready to mature. It needs to be revengeance with the Fox played. Yeah. Yeah. Like you swing and it's cut. That's what would force them, what the fuck? Force them worse than we should have been. That's what that should have fucking done.

God, they have a new opportunity with episode 7 to do this right. You want to play a lightsaber game? Go play Jedi Outcast. Hit tilde to open up the console. Tell them. G underscore saber realistic combat space one. Hit enter. Now you're playing.

Now you're playing the best Star Wars game ever. And duel. Find someone to duel with as well. Now this is lightsaber fighting. Is that the fourth time it's come up on the podcast? Tell them every time. Remember that fucking console command by heart because it's the best console command. You guys ready to go?

Ready to go. All right. Ready to go. Ready to go. He's going to fuck with us by putting the- Oh man. By putting the- He's got a whole fucking sound board.

Yep. All right. We're starting the sound board wars. It started swimming we're not going to hate. Exclusive. Okay. Okay. So bringing Benoit back gets you banned.

Banned. Whoa. We are so lucky we got that shit out in time. Yeah no it was really wrong of me. Just people were saying oh no it sucks that they're not going to be able to get the Benoit in the video because everyone who uploads Benoit to the WWT 2K15 service is getting banned from online with a snarky message of like yeah. You've been banned for it.

What you think was going to happen. Yeah. We got to edit early in the heyday when there were six, seven or eight Benoit's to choose from if not pages. Yeah back it back in the day so I'm not sure if other people have saw our WWB video but I had some in the drink because I was going nuts especially and I couldn't if you hear when we're doing the march of the Benoit's we're all dying we are made noises I've never heard him say.

Black lives are turning into yelps. Are there any other things banning people or just Benoit's? That's what I'm wondering is if you create the blue blazer or if you create any other blue blazer. Den Vessler didn't kill his family. Okay so Benoit's a murderer therefore that's why he gets banned. He's a murderer? I bet.

That we accidentally made a huge memorial to. Yeah. Okay. So let's. We're embarrassed. It's the erasure of Benoit continues. What if you make Hulk Hogan's son? Banned.

I don't fucking know. A why would you make Hulk Hogan's untalented murderer son? Yeah exactly. With his manager a car. Just a car comes down to the ring and in the corner. And the car is drinking. And the car is wearing a bikini. I'm like it's a weird what policy thing would you quote at somebody when they get banned.

Of course. What's the thing? You got banned for using the tool we gave you. People found out about this on Twitter because a guy said why'd I get banned for no reason. And then a developer responded you uploaded Benoit. But you gave me a feature that lets me put any texture into the game. And that in itself is reason enough. What if this was not Benoit?

This is Crispin Pois. Benoit. You're going to see people just like nudging closer to the line. Black Desert is coming to North America in 2015. This is the one with the character creator and the amazing combat. So yeah so all I know about this game was the gigantic asses that look gorgeous. And then I went and saw the mounted combat trailer in that article. I was like oh my god it's a character action game.

Did you also see the ground combat? Yes I saw that ages ago but that was fantastic. You also get to do that on a horse. So you get to pay monthly literally for a subscription to gigantic asses. You'll probably go free to play by the time it comes out here. And you were saying how you wanted to do something with that game. Possibly. Possibly but without going too much into it.

I have tabs open right now for the Russian Reddit where they said Black Desert is coming out in Russia first. And this was before this got announced. And I'm like how do I finagle this into the Russian beta. Be careful. Russian routers. Yes it's a proxy. I'll show you a proxy I killed by sections. Straight up and I was trying to look into this and trying to figure it out because I want in so fucking bad.

So this is controller supported right? All these Korean ones are starting to have some problems. This one does. Is this the only PC? Yeah. For the time being but they said they're looking into PS4. Shocking. Shocker.

Exactly. People are doing that lately. Yeah. That's all I hear. It's every time a trailer or just extended footage comes out that shows you a section of the game that hasn't been revealed. It's like the best version of that that we've seen. It's like in the game. And there's some housing system that's really big apparently.

It's like in the West. Like wow has the stranglehold but over in Korea MMO development is nuts. It's ignoring wow. Because between this there's ever competition in Korea. Yeah. It'd be great to get like another because remember they remember APB was supposed to be a big console and PC MMO at the same time. It just failed super hard. I played Terror for a while and while that's like a pretty generic MMO it plays great.

Like character action. Yeah. It actually physically plays. They're not a nice thing they're not. It's like wow. Banner Saga 2 announced. Yeah. That original is really good.

I didn't finish it but it's really really really good. I'm excited to actually finish that game because I stopped playing it when I stopped working at Eidos because I was using the work PC. Yeah. So I will play that on my Vita. But we're watching the trailer and we just we didn't even know. I had this moment where I'm like oh man they're bringing Banner Saga to PS4. That's great. I never finished that game.

Wait who is that character. Oh it's a sequel. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. And then King.com can't get their fucking pause on this one. Nope. That's true.

I kind of feel like it's like they're kind of leaping on like the success of Banner Saga 1 but also feels like wow they're leaping on it really really fast. That's like what Patch has said. Well it's like that's a game that has potential for a lot of story advancement. It's awesome. But also like a lot of increase in mechanical complexity because it's just Oregon Trail. It's Oregon Trail. Yeah. Is this the first.

You keep saying sound like you're saying Oregon Trail. Well that's also the same game. It's Oregon. Is this the first sequel to a Kickstarter game. Yes. I think so. Was Chivalry a Kickstarter game. Yes it was.

Didn't they get like a big expansion. They got a big expansion but no secrecy. Because a part two based off of like that's really cool because it's like you're not just kickstarting a game. You're kickstarting a possible franchise. Yeah. Well it's like it's like old game development right. You make a game and then you just take the same action. It depends on whether or not you consider Dragonfall Directors Cut.

The Directors Cut version to be the expansion of the sequel. But I like the idea that it's like now that you've invented this game you can use the money if it works out to fucking just keep going. That being said I really hope for not Shovel Knight 2. I hope for Shovel Knight 64. Yeah. That's good. That's good. That would be great.

That needs to look like a 64. That plays like the one Spasselvania game ever released. Well it needs to look and play like Banjo. Dude that is not the worst Castlevania game. You're right. You gotta play the Game Boy game. It's fucking atrocious. There's like two new games for the worst.

Okay well if we run out of time. Okay next topic. EA gives away Mirror's Edge, Garden Warfare and Need for Speed Most Wanted. But it's too late. Now it's gone. Now it's gone. They were giving it away this weekend and as of Monday morning they shut it down. I was thinking about that and I was like man that conference was hype announcements awesome like here's some stuff.

New news and free video games. And it's like what? What are you gonna say? They're decent. They're pretty good. They're all good. DS3 version of Mirror's Edge is rock solid. The Vita port of Need for Speed is actually totally solid as well.

And Plants vs Zombies is fairly recent. There's obviously no lot of work done. Between that and the Simpsons Overdrive day. Like were they, it was free for that day. Yeah like this is good stuff. This is how you fucking get people to stay. This is a, all the stuff that we're, a lot of what we're gonna talk about is symptomatic of the best competition we have literally ever seen in the games business. And everyone's throwing free stuff around to see.

And Nintendo had the 52-48 split in the Genesis Super Nintendo thing. But it wasn't, that was ages ago when the industry was way smaller. This is large scale intense competition and we are reaping some serious benefits from that. Yeah absolutely. They're both, they both have services designed to fight each other with how much free stuff they're gonna give away. Big wink and big nudge to EA for building that Mirror's Edge 2 audience. Why else would you give away your Mirror's Edge? Yeah, there's, you have a giant fire.

I think it's better to do, well they would need to do that again closer to the launch of a Mirror's Edge 2 to really kind of drive that on. I think it'll be on PS Plus like before. Or you do a sale. Or you do a fire sale. But good on them. There's a lot of people that did not play Mirror's Edge. Yes. And they should a lot of people.

That needs to be rectified. Because if you got a spare half hour you can do it. That game would be a hard sell at like 60 bucks. But at whatever you're gonna find out now, that game is unbelievable. It's like five everywhere now. It's played like shit. That game is amazing. Oh, done.

Subhomes interviewed the Pocket Rumble guys and they linked us. Yay. Yay. And piggybacking on that Pocket Rumble, finally like, thank god, made its, made its goal of 22,000. 22,000? And they're like, I think they're actually at 23 now, but they still have like, it sucks a lot of stretch goals that were really good. Like a really elaborate story mode. Did you see the description of the story mode?

I did not. I just saw the characters. The story mode was like dialogue, mini games mixed in with matches and like, a branching pass. Wow. And it was at 30k, I think. I don't think they're gonna make that. It's unfortunate, but we've clearly seen now that there are three kick starters. There's the one that's ha, no way.

This is never going to fucking cross the line. The one where the guy's presenting it on a white board with his hand. And he's asking for the moon. It's a fucking joke. The one that barely kicks over the line. And you see 80 stretch goals that will all be awesome. And the eternity, the RPG ones that are like, okay, we're asking for a million. We got four, five times that number.

We had 20 stretch goals, we had to make 40 more. Now we're trying to find ways to incorporate the hoverboard and other successful kick starters. They're at 24 of 22k, they have 23 hours left. Okay. I haven't backed it. I will have to go on back and I'm interested in that. Zubaz. Give it a push.

Look at the fencer from Nidhogg. After I backed all those kick starters, I kind of forgot. And I keep forgetting to back them. Before we run out of time, there's another kick starter that succeeded called Last Year, which is really the multiplayer of Evolve, but your Teenagers and Mast Killer. Yeah, you saw that, right? It's versus a killer. And then they're just straight up Jason and Michael Myers and that I think just...

That's fine. What do you mean that's fine? They can be that. Oh yeah, no. We love Evolve's gameplay. Oh shit, we're done. On that note, until Dawn's new trailer was fucking dope and the way that presentation was orchestrated was genius.

So you know how that game doesn't choose your path? Yes. So he got to a path and then he asked, where do you want to go? That's nice. The killer's coming. And it's like, yeah, hide behind the bed or jump out the window. The crowd's going, jump the window. That's awesome to do that live because that's like streaming.

Or that's like, you know... And the tone of PSX versus E3, like it totally worked out. Yeah, very casual, very fun, very goofy. David Cage's Supper was ruined that night because that was everything he wants his games to be. And I didn't realize it, but... You mean fun? Yeah. Yeah.

The main character that they showed off in the trailer is I hate Impenetrary. Yeah. Yeah, it looks super accurate. Well, speaking of PSX, it is coming. We're just having some rendering problems. Yeah. It's a pretty big file. It'll be by the end of the week for sure.

But it's probably not going to be tonight at all. And then the rendering time says two weeks. Well, it's 28 hours for you, right, Liam? It was 28 hours for the first one, so my computer sucks. That's what the takeaway is, Matt. Yeah, but give it to me if this one doesn't work. I will. I think that, showing that extended demo, it represents everything that a horror game

should be as far as trying to have the David Cage cinematic direction and stuff. But there's thousands of choices in this game. Remember, it's called the Butterfly Effect. Yeah, because every ranch had a ranch. Yeah, the moment she's hiding and it's like, do you want to stay or do you want to run for it now? Yeah. Like, you could choose to hire or run. But once you were hiding, do you want to stay?

Stay there. It's a different layer of the best. Maybe we should, if we play this game, maybe we should do a live stream of it, because it'd be much more fun that way. Or we should do multiple. Yeah. Like, have the Pat and Liam and the Matt and Wally one and see who does better. And we'll probably have very different videos.

In the demo you play, who are you playing as? No one. The short shorts, go on. Next. No, the short shorts, yeah. Go, go, go, go, go, read it. Street Fighter V. I'm talking to my girlfriend about this and she's like, well, you're really excited.

Like, hold on, honey. And I went and found the footage, a fry on the moon, driving around in the moon car, going, Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter IV. This is how everyone feels. This is how everyone feels. Have you seen the original clip? Oh, yeah, yeah. The guy driving in the car just got like, Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter IV.

Stay, Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter IV. So the main thing I think everyone can possibly agree on Street Fighter IV is this is the best logo of any Street Fighter. It is, oh my God. It's so classy. All the best parts of the Udon logo. Yes. So classy.

It's the font of the cool Udon logo on the tribute block. Street Fighter V has a lot of stuff going on with it. It's exclusive. It has cross play. Yes. And it appears that Capcom is broke and Sony is actually helping them with development. It sounds like you're funding it not in a full-on B.O.2 type of way, but a little bit more.

Because the last we heard of this, Ono said 2018 and suddenly it's boosted up to fucking next year. And the real, the real, the real nail in that is that Sony is porting Ultra to PS4. Okay. Yeah. We and Willie were talking about it. Like how? Like Capcom's too broke to port Ultra?

How deep into the fighting hole is, well, how deep in the fighting hole is Sony going to dip, you know? And they got, Sony, some companies are dipping themselves. So Capcom Cup is going on now, but Sony might be like, like helping out like Evo and stuff. They might be getting really involved. They're already saying everyone at Evo, every system at Evo has to be a PlayStation. So like they might get like actual backing on you. It's going to be hard for Killer Enxing to be played on a PlayStation.

And Street Fighter V is going to have a gameplay demonstration at Capcom Cup. And be playable. Playable. We will know everything we need to know about this game. Not every. No. You can only know what is. Alright.

Guard breaks. Guard breaks. We got OTGs. We got wall. Destructible walls. We got end groups. Okay. Yes.

Really quickly though, we all had the same reaction even though we watched it. Ultra is coming out for the play as far as well. We can group it in. Yeah. Keep going. Keep going. So it's Street Fighter V. When Chun-Fuckin Chun-Li knocks Ryu into the wall and I got OT, it would be really nice

if the wall could break like it just did. Yeah. We all had that. We were like, oh come on break, break, break. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that this is going to take place after Street Fighter III. It fucking better. Because they look more like that.

They do. It's filthy. It is disgusting. I told you there was a Dengen. I told you there was a Dengen. You are right. It's a Dengen. It's a Dengen.

It's a Dengen. And he does a Shin Shoryu with the hand that you get. With the hand that you get. Yeah. I was talking to you about that. Diapod who made our Gurren Logan poster. Yeah. I saw on his thumb he just went, yeah, it was just, he just said Dengen.

He just said Dengen, baby. Yeah. No, man. It looks a lot heavier. So Alex is going to be back. So we don't know. I was saying to Pat that like, that Alex better be on. This might be the game that's like heavy online component, like the big-

Free to play, League of Legends kind of thing. And then like the K.I. type of thing. And that's totally okay if that's where fighting games needs to go. I hope they do it. I hope they do it like K.I. And Pat was saying how someone like said how Capcom wants this to be like. One game. One game.

No iterations. And Street Fighter 4 was almost that except for vanilla. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, Ultra is getting dropped on PS4 as well. You and I were looking at each other like holy shit. It was the moment they used it. Oh, they got Ultra too.

Ultra is still center stage everywhere. And that'll take the sting off of when they announced that Street Fighter 5 is going to release in half way through 2016. Go get your sticks. You're going to need them. I have the stick. You're going to need them. I'm ready.

But I don't have PS4. Like, well that's all good. I'm not sure if that's separate in a separate topic, but why does Capcom not have enough money to make Street Fighter? Because they made bad decisions and they're fucking broke. You said it. Every game, but Monster Hunter failed. Yeah.

They haven't been putting out a lot, honestly. And it feels like nothing. Kata Takahashi is back. And he's got a fork. And he's spinning on stage. What are you doing? He's spinning and he's spinning and he's spinning. What's M?

It's the name of his new game. How come every three years this motherfucker says I'm done? Because he really was done. Because then he keep pulling him back in. His Japanese-filled fish, but nice instead of mean. It fills playgrounds instead of shitting into his beard. You know what it is? Every time he's out of the game, his own brain keeps pulling him back in.

He has an idea. You can't design a children's playground that have kids roll up other kids. They'll die. That's too much. You can't have kids stretching around the sun. You can't tell kids to feed their meters to girl. You can't tell kids to get all their thousands of cousins to help them. A man, when he came out on stage, I was so happy to see him back.

And then his mannerisms were everything I wanted. I'm not supposed to be up here. Literally like we just said, holding a fork, playing with it, twiddling it around. I don't want to do this. And then doing a full 360 on stage. Spinning around. Where am I? A new game is awesome to put it over the top.

It would be great if you announced some sort of HD collection of one and two. That's not up to him. I know. That's up to Nacho. It would be cool. Damn cool. But no. Wet Hand looks like something.

Man, I don't think anyone... But Yard Style looks fun. Little square guy with a bono. I hope it's a nice medium between Nobi and Katamari. A little more game than Nobi. A little more weird than Katamari. Yeah, okay. Because Nobi's the fucking weirdest thing ever.

Whatever it is, I like the way it looks. Yeah, Nobi with objectives. Yeah, sure. That sounds alright. Oh man. So feel good. So just like... Oh, he's locked in.

And the music, I'm really hoping, brings back the same sort of feeling as well as this. That Kata feeling. I'm glad they didn't have Nobi 2, Nobi Forever. Oh, that'd be awful. Nobi Forever. What's next? Hit us, hit us. There's a new God of War coming out of Son of Monaco.

There is. Well, shock that they didn't show it. Well, I guess... I guess they had too much to show. Yeah. It's funny because for over a year, they've been saying, We have too many games to show and everyone's been like, And you're full of shit guys who have nothing this holiday season.

And they're like, No, we didn't rush them and we're putting them all out February onwards. And then you see PlayStation Experience and you're like, Oh my God, you're not lying to me. You actually weren't lying. I was saying to Liam the other day, And my initial reaction is boo, Unless it has nothing to do with Greece.

If it's Vikings, if it's Faro's, I've literally been saying that for like, Make them as long as you want. If it's still Greece, I don't even care if it's not Cratos. Remember, it's still Greece. No, I'm done. I can get behind it if it's like, Yo, kill Cratos.

Like they come full circle and like, Okay, we get it. Cratos is the worst monster that's ever existed. The title is open enough that you can take that Assassin's Creed style. If they stopped calling them numerically, Ascension was not four, it was Ascension. And then you can call it God of War. They can also have PSP ones.

They don't have a number either. But that just as good as Lodo is now, Cratos, like Netherrealm style. Like this is what we're about. That's all that's going on here. That's depressing. It's got to be a humbling experience though. I think this one's going to be directed by Corey Barlog.

And remember, he quit God of War II. He did the best one. He did the best one. Then he quit to work on a Mad Max game. Uh-oh. And then quit that. And then he's back here. And he's like,

Come on Corey. It's funny because he technically leaked it. And then like on Twitter. Yeah, at one of the events. Yeah. And then so he's like, Yeah, like ignore what Corey Barlog is talking about. Ignore this guy who would know exactly what he is talking about.

And I have to say that the dip in sales for Ascension compared to one, two, and three, like would reiterate to them that they need to make more. He can only make somebody fucking spin-offs. Which is famous Balrog. David Jaffe's drawn to death is the game we've been talking about for years. You have literally been talking about this game. First and foremost.

Oh my God, he went off the script. Oh yeah, he came off the script. How do you let Jaffe on to a stage? You're talking more. You know Jaffe's gonna be how Jaffe be. So we were talking about this. So I watched the trailer of this, but maybe I'm missing something like what?

When we saw it, we were like, Oh my God, Matt should love this. This is the high school kids' stupid little notebook. Oh, you mean all the time I talk about like, Oh, I used to draw that in my door attack. Exactly. Trapper keeper drawings coming to life and fighting each other in a devil's third metal kind of style.

Stupid metal designs. I got that, and I thought that was the great, but when I actually saw the game for the trailer, I was like, well, I need to see more. The game isn't nearly as interesting as the art style. But the aesthetic is great, and I really, really hope there's a character creator. And then once Jaffe puts this out,

he'll quit and disband his company and start a new one again. Yeah. Like he just want to do. The Bartle ghost detective agency. For a guy like Jaffe, that's really like pretentious. Like I was just going to say that. I think it's mysterious. It's kind of funny.

I was just going to say, I'm cautiously optimistic for that one, but just the way it kind of, I mean, it still like felt like a budget, like Frida sort of, I don't know. We'll see because for once I believe it, when someone says it's pre-alpha. Yeah.

Yeah. He wouldn't lie about that. That shit looks rough. Like Jaffe said, that's how a company called kill death murder. Like demolition. Yeah, sure. Remember that demolition, man?

But I'm on for this concept. I just realized it's the opposite of drawn to life. Yeah. That's what I said. Yeah. I said the guy, the fuckers that made drawn to life were like, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.

Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.

Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude.

Dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude.

Dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.

Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Well, then I'm full of shit now. Well, apparently they're not that legit, because they fucked this one up. Well, it was their supplier who told them that. Told them that.

When the supplier says... The suppliers, like, get off my back, they're discontinued. Well, the weirdest part of the message was that it was specifically Marth, Villager, Fit Trainer, and Fit Trainer. Well, because when you open a box of amiibos as per some videos on the internet, you get eight marios, you get eight links, and you get four Marths. Well, and how many Dante's can you get per marionette? Yes, exactly.

One per fucking case. 19 marionettes, one Dante. Oh, god. I remember I'd go to that comic book store every week, and there's just these dusty-ass marionettes that no one would buy. It's the same with the Resident Evil ones, where there's 20 zombies and one hunk. Yeah, there is. And with every issue that you're picking up of the latest Batman, it's like, you know,

you sure you don't want a marionette or four? Yeah. No one wins on those. No one ever wins. Oh. Skytorn looks amazing. Skytorn's the one with the shovel, right? Skytorn's the shovel girl.

Shovel girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, not to me. It was so cool. It's being made by four people, and I went to go look and I'm like, okay, what's the studio behind it? Yeah. There is no studio.

It's being made by four people. Cool. Well, we don't have a studio. We do this out of our basement. And you go look it up, and it's like their names are listed instead of a studio. I'm sure we'll get a company name later on, quote-unquote, but you know. It looks great. It looks really solid.

Don't check out the trailer for this thing. It's just like cool, like pixel graphics, but not like... What's the art style look like? Hyper-like. Hyper-like house mania. It's closer to hyper-like drifter than to shovel mania. Is the main character a girl? Yeah.

Okay. A white hair. I saw a screenshot of it. I didn't know much about it, though. And it just got metroidvenium things? Procedurally generated. I didn't see that, I'm not sure. I think I saw that.

Okay, yeah. But like metroidvenia and like ledge grabbing. Skytorn must be one of the coolest fucking names I've ever heard. Well, we were making fun of like hybrid names. That's gonna come back next week when we're not in the rush week. Yeah, it's true. But these are two ones that you don't hear often and it works. Yeah, exactly.

That's a good name. My only thing was like that was the one game where I was there. Even I agree with that one. And I was like, that seems like a feta game. Why is that one on? Oh, whatever. I'm sure it'll come six months after this release. Yeah.

That game looks good. Not every game can come really well. It's something that I would expect to be a Kickstarter game first, if anything. The way I think that goes these days. Well, it depends how people start off. It depends on how much money you make. Yeah, they would have kickstarted it for nine grand. And then they were like, I could just ask my dad.

Yeah. Hey, Pa! Hey, Pa! Hey, Ma! I'm all against the house so I can make my video games. Hey, Ma! We got chicken or what? Hey, Ma!

We got 9K or what? Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. You know, the parents have to feed them as they program. Yeah, basically. It's nice to see them. Ma, I can't move.

Just clean up my diaper. Yeah. You know, it's nice that these games still get made independently without, you know, anything... My 5,000 number. Oh, there you go. Let's go. FF7 returns.

Oh, this was a downer. It wasn't a downer. It was just kind of... I've been more down about it over time. If the guy wasn't speaking it one word per minute, I feel like we would have been a bit less disappointed. You're totally right. Because, like, it took him so long to say what he had to say that our expectations for

the trailer went up. He was struggling, though, man. He was struggling hard. But to be perfect, I'm happy with the announcement. I think it's fine. Yeah, I think it's the best version of the game out there. I will be glad to have it for posterity because, yeah, the old... The PC version had the bad music for a long time, and then...

And the original PC version was just fucked. And then the PS1 version, like, looks bad. Like, and just from an image quality perspective, it's running at 240. But here's the thing... Sorry, I was going to say something. I was going to say this. I think the reason why so many people were, like, not so many, but, like, a portion of people were angry with the announcement is because it just reaffirms that you're never

going to get a remake ever. Until Square's about to go bankrupt. Until they're about to go bankrupt. The F7 remake is an instant kill. Yes. The moment they decide to use it, everything is dead. Stop being a good generation. When you think about, like, 1996 to 1998, like, almost every other amazing game for those

three years have been remade, but this, like, Resident Evil, Metal Gear, Ocarina of Time, I'm so excited. Like, until you want to see the fucking volcanic burst and destroyed and the generation's over, they're not going to use this trump card. I guess not. I think it's going to happen in our lifetime. It's just going to be... A while.

Or a children's lifetime. Maybe not in my lifetime. And frankly, I still think they're not wrong when they say making that game would be a gigantic effort. Yeah, I remember I spent, like, an hour and a half and I broke it down for myself and like, oh boy. That game's huge. It's about every environment being full 3D and not flat render.

Like, Remake took years and Remake is a dramatic order of magnitude lower than FF7 in terms of environments and scale. And curve. Yeah, it's just thinner. Just the amount of pre-render backgrounds alone. Yeah. Alone. Yep, gone.

New trailer for Severed from Drinkbox Studios. Yeah! That girl's arm got cut off! So, did I show you the old trailer in that camera? Yeah, I saw the old trailer. That shit looks awesome. I can't wait for that. Lots and lots of the same art style as Guacamelee going on.

Which is a good art style. But the deal is, is that this time around you're on, like, a Fruit Ninja style slashy adventure and you can take the severed limbs of your enemies and attack with them. Can you? I didn't catch that. That's the mechanic is you take severed limbs. Oh, I thought the whole thing was because your arm got cut off. It's both, man.

And replaced with a sword parasite. You're fucking... Or whatever other arms. Oh, cool. Both. And you can use them as weapons. It's all these things. Yes, it's kind of like Skyward Sword in that, like, the enemy will be in a certain way and

they'll be like, okay, I can slash here and get to here. Okay, okay. Yeah, that's kind of Fruit Ninja. Like, Fruit Ninja is similar, except Fruit Ninja is kind of like... And what perspective is it? The first person. Oh, really? It's dungeon crawling.

Okay. And this is a proper ass Vita Vita Vita game. Yeah, yeah. No Vita TV for this. No, no PlayStation, nothing else, because you need the touchscreen. It could have been my pad. It could have been PS4 actually. I think it is also going to be on mobile.

PS4 could be done. But for now it's just on Vita, yeah. Yeah, we could have said it was like the other iPhone game with the sword. You're not going to say Infinity Blade? Well... Because that's just like Punch Out. That's like Punch Out. Like the precision isn't there.

Right, the part of the body. Because it's kind of a mix between Fruit Ninja and Infinity Blade. It reminds me of something like Eye of the Beholder or Legend of Grim Rock, but instead of it being automatic slash after you press a button, you're doing it yourself. Yeah. It looks really cool. That's a really cool idea. But here's the...

Is there... Can rubbing be fun? Well... I think so. We're here at 29. The designs and the hits are responsive and it feels good. It gets less and less fun as long as the more and more it stays. Because a game like Mersaki Baby, I'm like, yeah, that's on board, right?

What about Monster Monpiece? Well, that's where you go the other way on. That game is good. If you can get through the thick veneer of filth, that game is good. Just like... Rub it away. A lot of people went nuts that you were defending Rusty's Real Dill Baseball, but I think that game's crazy in a horrible and good way.

Have you seen Orphan? The old PS2 game and the new trailer? The thing that you always see in bins. Yeah, exactly. So there's a new trailer for this game called Orphan. And essentially it looks like Limbo, but the setting is possibly like a Super 8 style setting where you're a fan in the middle of an elite invasion and you have shoot bangs. Check out the trailer.

It might be interesting. Does it spell normally? P-H-A-N. Orphan. Orphan. I'll give it a Google. Yeah. Is that on anything, PC?

It is. Let me get it. Let me get it. Let me get it. Let me get it. Gotta get it. Because Steam Greenlight right now is what they're trying to do with it. I forget the Greenlight continues to exist.

Yeah. On the Swedish Games program. No, that's not Greenlight. That's true. That's where they exit. Greenlight is the stop sign. They're both horribly flawed. But Greenlight's better.

No, Greenlight's fine. I confused the two. Yeah, Greenlight's better. Greenlight's been getting better, but it's still horribly flawed. You gotta get some groundswell to get your game made. Yeah, definitely. But then you have published legit games like Shovel Knight, and you're like, no, we need groundswell.

That should be able to just get through. That should be able to just get in. Yeah. Only if your mindshare is truly... Stop business-ing. Sean Leiden didn't wear a suit. Don't wear a mental suit to this podcast. Hey, it's not a weekend.

It's not a weekend anymore. I can talk about digital lockers all I want. That one's a totally valid phrase, too. Digital locker? No, mindshare. Oh, yeah. It is. Ken Kuduraki was insane.

Yes. Yes, he was. And with the stuff that we're seeing from PlayStation now is the Kaz kicked Ken out stuff. Get out of here, crazy. Because this is all stuff that Ken didn't do for PS3. You remember Rockstar talking about how they offered them exclusive GTA IV for PS3, and Ken was like, no, we don't need to give you anything for that. The PS3 will teach them discipline.

This next segment is called Vita Means Life. Liam, take it away. Go, Liam. Go. Resident Evil Revelations 2. I can't fucking wait. You've been mispronounced it. I'm sorry.

Revelations 2. I can't fucking wait, because Raid Mode's awesome. Severed is fucking sick. Can't wait for Severed. Banner Saga is Fire Emblem Cross, Game of Thrones. And it's got this new adaptation. Oregon Trail. Tower Fall is really good, but I don't know, because there's no local multiplayer, so that

might not be the best, actually. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah. Shit. Yeah, exactly. That's rough. Die, kick, and tower fall. Geometry Wars 3 comes out, and it comes with Geometry Wars 2.

That's awesome for a long time. Yeah, so if you don't care about Geometry Wars 3, but you want Geometry Wars on your next gen, or current gen, or whatever, Geometry Wars 2 is inside there. So we can end one and two, but you can play them on your PS3 as well. Don't miss two, at very least. Get two before they fucking decide to take the best. That's fucking radical. Yesterday, Disney Infinity 2 details clarified for the Vita version, it comes exclusively

with Black Spider-Man. So I suggest you do it in Black Spider-Man. I mean Black Spider-Man. Okay. I thought you might mean Black Spider-Man. It's symbiote. Liam should do an unboxing video. When I saw the Vita version with Black Spider-Man, I was like, oh, this is a match made in Heaven.

So that was a good one. I don't know, lots of games announced for it. And Super Time Force Ultra. And of course it doesn't let us in. Shovel Knight with Kratos. We won't let the Vita die, we promise. There's nothing grim day of the tentacle, Broken Age, which I love, and I can't wait to play that on the Vita.

I'm really happy with this, because you can't make multi-million dollar games and only sell 40 or less thousand units. It's impossible. We got a little something special coming in Super Time Force as well. Yeah, sure. That was really cute. You just killed more of the news articles. Stuff like the Port of Disney Infinity and Tales from Borderlands and Resident Evil Revelations.

That's as good as it's going to get on a big scale. And a couple niche games. I really thought Person 5 was going to get asked for Vita. Me too. Yeah, you're telling me about that. Pat, happy with all that news. It's all yours. Churriacus and Firebusters, they did it!

They actually did it! Let's say the real hero here, of course, is Liam, because he never lost faith. So this is literally a vanity fantasy project. It actually shouldn't have been announced. Liam was telling me that you picked the translation costs of four at around two to two and a half million dollars, right? A high. A high?

A high on that? So that's extreme, because there's a lot of text in these fucking news articles, right? After this announcement, I actually did what Liam asked me to do, and I looked at the sales data, and Yakuza Dead Souls sold 6,000 copies. Yes, exactly. That is a total loss. That is an actual total loss. Well, I think it's all of the...

I don't know if you remember, but I told you that back when I was working in testing, at one point, we had to estimate the localization costs. It's the most expensive figure I've seen besides for the month. So the argument that Liam and I would have over and over about Yakuza was always, I don't care, and he would say, dude, what do you want them to do? Free, basically? Yeah. And I would say yes, and he'd say, that's ridiculous, and that's what Sony's doing.

They're basically doing it for free. I was going to say that Yakuza in North America has to work really hard to become a failure. Yeah. Like, for it to even make money. And the bonus is that Sony's PR sheet for contact info fucked up and leaked out that Yakuza Zero is also coming. So I hope a lot of people buy Yakuza 5. I am going to shill this game like no one has ever shilled anything before, man.

Because if these ones fail, it's gone forever. And it's no one's fault, but your own. You shouldn't do an LP because then people go, well, I don't get it. We are not going to do an LP. No, because then people will go. But we are going to do some dick-sucking videos of the game. Just a game right in the mouth. Double 4 has a lot of shit going on.

They do, holy shit. Broken Age, the whole bloody affair coming soon. That game's good. Play that shit. That's not the subtitle. It's a better subtitle. We got Broken Age episodes 1 and 2 packaged together coming out next year alongside Grim Fandango and Day the Tentacle Special Edition.

Oh, man. So all of those are fucking surprises. All of those are on just PS4 and Vita and PC, right? Yeah. But like, are they on PS3? I can't remember. I don't think so. I don't think so.

That being said, they're still like Broken Age is like their new game. It's a new thing. It's a far cry from like a few years ago when they were putting out lots of like stacking and iron brigade and all that now. Well, Custom Quest 2 just came out. Yeah, but I just mean this is like it's kind of like... They're doing Gang Beasts as well. What's that?

I don't know that. Oh! I didn't see this. Just Sumo Game. Gang Beasts. Where you play as people in little tigurumis and you throw people off ledges. So it's like a little like group route, group top... Is it a high-fast game or what?

No. I don't see it. You throw those four players and the early mechanic is grab. You grab people or you grab the ledge to get back on. And you wrestle and you use physics to just throw everything around. You just try to throw them off ledges and there's like a window washing stage. And it's the best name I've ever heard. Gang Beasts.

Gang. And they're all these little cute mascot characters. They're adorable. I think you like that... NGC name baked in. I think you like that name because Bloodborne could no longer be called Beast Souls anymore. It's like a fighting game in the same way as Nidhogg. And what's the one with the fucking baseball bats and the balls bouncing around?

Lethal League. It's that same kind of a competitive game. It's a fighting game but it's not a fighting game. But it's a fighting game. Or it's another type of game that they decided this can be like a fighting game and they put enough in it. So anyway, go play all these three double fine games. They're great and they need your money.

They're classics for a reason. They actually need your money. They're not out yet though. Calm down. Yeah. Killing Floor 2. Yo! Killing Floor 1 kicks fucking ads.

So I don't know anything about Killing Floor. I've heard about Killing Floor 2. You drop somebody into a classic first person shooter style map but is considerably larger. The office map has like eight floors. You go all the way from the bottom to the... Imagine the zombie fantasy game in which you board up the doors and shoot the guys and scrunch for ammo, etc. Yeah.

After rounds, you buy increasingly better weapons by Counter-Strike. Now Killing Floor got a lot of big ups because they update the shit out of that game all the time for free and every Christmas or Easter, they have specialty, they change all the maps. Are a lot of people playing it? Yes. Killing Floor is very popular and it is very good. It is one of my favorite multiplayer PC games and for PS4 to snap it up like this, that's a good on them.

Huge fucking get Killing Floor 2 looks awesome and I have a feeling that they're going to be like Warframe updates like Killing Floor. So I think this is going to have the PC style of like, here's the new map, here's the new weapons, here's the new everything. And I want to play this game on a controller with people, with my console people. Guess what? You can do that now. This game kicks is going to kick ass, especially because there's no remaking the wheel here.

They're making it better graphics with more guns and more zombies. At the end of the day it's just an arena with horde mode. It's a whole game dedicated to horde mode and it fucking kicks ass. The map randomly slows down in a bullet time for 10 seconds so that everyone can get bullet time. Nice. Do you have like, what are your controls like as a person on the ground? Aim, shoot, switch to your door welding item, go to your grenade weapon.

No double jumps, no craziness. Counterstrike, like imagine if it's a counterstrike mod or something like that. It's really fast. Yeah, really, really fast. The first wave has like 40 zombies. The second wave has like 80. Next one. Uh, Kratos Knight confirmed.

So this was nuts because that trailer was really cool. I love the fact that everyone loves Shovel Knight. Every one of us loves it. The VGA and like, the VGAs love them. Sorry, the game awards. But Nintendo and Sony and Microsoft. Everyone loves Shovel Knight and they're all behind it 100. So you just feel good.

I was saying to Lee in the other day is like, I think it's really awesome to have Yoshida and Super Time Force. I still think it's lame that it's Kratos and Shovel Knight. I feel like when I think of old 8-bit, 16-bit feel good games, who's the last person I think of fucking Kratos? Well, I would have loved Sir Dan. Yeah. It makes so much more sense.

It's more just like now that Kratos has been in a million other cameo guests. That's what I mean. He's the cameo guy. You could have gone somewhere else with it. I think during our PlayStation Experience watch, I said, yeah, I'll buy that game on my Vita and I was thinking in my head, that's a silly thing to do. Why am I going to play it again? And then Kratos comes down and I'm like, there, that's validated.

One more boss. One more boss. One more use is a novel and I'm like, I don't think it's a level. It's probably just a boss. With them having to do all their still working on all their stretch goals, I don't think it can be a level. They have a lot of stuff to do. It will make me play that game again.

I can't wait to play some new characters. God, I wonder if dudes like him might be playable in some respect in one of those modes if they're putting all the sprites in. What, like Kratos? Yeah. Well, he's a lot bigger than Shovel Knight. But Polar Knight is giant. Polar Knight is going to be playable.

They're all going to be playable in the battle mode. In the battle mode? No, no. In the battle mode? Okay, there's the progression adventures. Yeah. That's three characters. That's three characters.

In the battle mode? Yeah. Because battle mode, stretch goal, is all the characters playable, but their movesets are all pretty much identical. Yeah. So that might be... We're really just the knights, though. We're just different knights.

It sounds like you're only the knights. I don't think they're going to be saying the secret bosses. But it doesn't matter. We can continue because Shovel Knight also sold over 300k. Yeah, no. Fucking huge success for Shovel Knight. I won up... More copies than all of the Yakuza games combined in North America.

In North America. In North America. I gave shout-outs to Yakuza and Toriel for that, just because it was such like... I saw some people in NeoGaff going, wow, what a huge failure. And everyone was like, what the fuck are you talking about for an indie game? It's amazing. I got such a huge shattery number. Fantastic.

Like it's a Kickstarter game. New IP platformer... Remember, not 300,000 people backed the Kickstarter. Yeah. It was that's way, way more than... But this in a perspective, it outsold Band-Aid II and Hyrule Warriors and Freedom Wars combined. That's insane. For a short period of time and they will inevitably outsell it, but like...

I mean, when the Blob did 250k and they were fucking doing cartwheels because of how successful that was, no one expected that to sell that. It was because people here have been inundated with Ubisoft, especially the past generation, with Ubisoft and Square Enix, and all these fucking people is like 11 million, that's not enough. Right. Yeah. So... Devil May Cry 3, Devil May Cry 4.

Yeah. 4.7 million from Devil May Cry 4. And like, we've been hearing that for almost a decade. Yeah. So the idea of 300,000 being a success is... What? Oh, because you didn't spend $100 billion on this game. So that's...

It's a high price tag, $100 billion. I definitely think a lot of people are in that mindset. I remember speaking about the sales of Soul Sacrifice or something and how it actually sold pretty well worldwide. And Delta sold pretty well too, right? Yeah. And I mean, they're all one project at the end of the day. Soul Sacrifice continues in Delta. And I was like, yeah, it sold almost like 500,000.

And people were like... That's really good. And people were like, that's pathetic. And I'm like, are you... No. Fuck, no. Like, just because Monster Hunter sells four, but it's a fucking phenomenal item. That's not fair.

That's not fair. Y'all applied higher than fucking their predecessors right now. Oh, yeah. Bastion's getting ported. Yeah. That is a game I never finished. So I will finish that. I have not finished it yet.

You have a half hour to spare. Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of people haven't finished it, but... Yes. I'm gonna play that on my Vita. That'll be a good time. Super Giant is my new fucking go-to company, man.

They're good. After Transistor, holy shit. Well, after Bastion. Well, yeah. Of course. For sure. But Transistor was the moment you're like, that was not a fluke. Yeah, exactly.

That was not their one good idea. And not only to do as good as Bastion, but surpass it in quality. I gotta get back to Transistor. I gotta get it out of the shot. Yeah. It's like everything you'd love about Bastion, but stylistically and... Oh, yeah. The style and setting for Transistor are a million times more interesting to me than

Bastion. Yeah. It was just something about the Parasite even game play that just... Sure, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I'll play that. I'll put that in my pocket. Good reason to pop this started again, honestly. Yeah.

I'm sorry for scratching. Where'd you leave off? Two hours into the game. I can't remember the details. Same about two, three hours in. About Bastion? Yeah. So you guys are having the same thing with Bastion that I have with Transistor.

That's the story. Oh, really? Yeah, I get it. And you don't even know why. Well, for me, I know I was playing it on my PC and it was lagging. Awesome. So I was like not even having the best time with it. That is the best credits track that has ever been in a video game.

Ever. I say that and I know it's absurd. It is unbelievable. It has those moments, the things I like. You know how I like delay title sequences? Yeah. This game has a fantastic one where it's not a delayed title sequence, but it's like you go through the intro and then you get to the Bastion.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you're hard on for the title being a thing in the game. Yes. There's ways to do it and have their impact. Like Assassin's Creed's try to do it and they get progressively worse on Limber. The second one was the best. The second one was a really good one. Reveler Ritalinotons also actually ironically had a good one.

Too late. Let's go. Alright. San Diego studio announces free to play 5v2v5 shooter killstreak. It's a top-down shooter. Yeah. Well, we don't know. Kill battle.

It was top-down. Yeah. Did we look at the footage? So this game is available to play hands-on, so hopefully some footage will come out over the weekend. What is 5v2v5? Yeah. It's two teams.

Versus two monsters. Two monsters. Okay. That's a little confusing. My brain goes to Arkham evolve. No. Evolve. Evolve.

No. No. It's a much more popular shooter. Batman Arkham Origin had 3v2v3. No, but if I remember correctly, 5v2v5 was just an example he gave out. It wasn't like a concrete thing. And the idea is that your allies are constantly in flux with what each individual person wants to do as an objective.

And so like the idea is the teams are constantly changing. So you can try to capture the flag or get killed. I don't know the details, but that was the idea of Killstreak. You're a bunch of mercenaries and you all have varying different wants and goals and the mission objectives change. And you're trying to accomplish your objectives, which might change your team. This sounds like a board game. Yeah.

It's interesting. My only question is do you determine your objective or does the game? Because if you do, you get points for killing or... I don't have an answer to that. Like if it's a flag or what... I don't know. Secure the points. When I heard Sony's San Diego, the first thing I thought of was like, oh my God, did they

capture the guys that are from THQ San Diego? Yeah. They made WWE All-Stars and now Sony's making a cool like EA Sports game, like murder-wrestling game. Game league wrestling. Let's go. Oh my God. Congrats to the...

How have we never made that connection ever? Oh my God. That is a billion dollar friendship that never happened. But you know, congrats to these guys for managing to start up a new thing after Warrior's Lair didn't pan out and go anywhere because like, Warrior's Lair was a Diablo-esque. Enter the Gungeon, a gun that can kill the past. Yeah. What the hell?

One of the most confusing that are both treatments I've ever seen. We didn't have time to read their confusing logo and got the name wrong. We called it Enter the Dungeon the entire rest of the day. Enter the Gungeon. Yeah. Our game looks pretty neat. This looks like there's a lot going on on the screen. It's a shame because like, I've been looking forward to Nuclear Throne for a long time

and like, I feel like... Well, for a long time. You give each other a lap quite a bit. Well, what do you think a gun that can kill the past means? I'm like, I'm wondering if it's like, does it mean like you can shoot at where your enemies were? I think it's a story detail. And kill that thing.

That guy from the past. I think that's your ultimate objective is you're going into the Gungeon to find that gun. At Marty, we have to shoot 1985. The fact that they showed off all these fancy weapons and we never once saw this gun makes me think that it's not a major gameplay thing. The Dicotana. Dicotana was a time sword.

The gun is the one piece. Maybe. And you're going to get there and it'll be a box that says, you're all friends now. Yeah. I guess. Perhaps. Because I feel like the trailer would have shown it if it was a big mechanic. Yeah, exactly.

I'm going to try to think of maybe it's like a super hot kind of deal or a super hot. Or a braid kind of deal. You know what I mean? Something going on with that and gunplay mixed together. But they would have shown it. That's how I felt. And it's like. You're right.

I'm still kind of looking at it. No, it works like Killer Queen and it removes the cause. This is. This is. God damn it. This one's Devolver Digital too, right? I think so. These guys, Devolver Digital, you guys go nuts, keep doing it.

How does the gun work? I don't know. It just works. Fucking JoJo. Yeah. Keep getting these games, Devolver. You guys are like, you seven guys are on a path to success. Does Devolver again?

Yeah. Again? Yeah. Devolver fucking doing it. Never mind. A thief's end looks like Uncharted 4. Boy, it does. It sure does.

Those open levels look really nice. Yeah. I got it very nice. The punch lasers have improved once. Yeah. So now it's confirmed punch lasers will exist forever. It's a really good idea. For that, it's a really, really good idea.

Totally. Because now we have rope punch lasers. Oh, yeah. When he swings off the cliff. I always feel though, like, you know, when you have a narrative story, like franchise, you get to four, it's just, like, it's an even number, but other than that, it's like, you get to four, like, it's, I don't know, I totally agree with you. Unless you pull a resident evil.

Is the acting. It's true. And this is definitely not that. Is the acting news about this game a separate item? No, it's not. Because Troy Baker is playing Drake's brother in this game. Oh my god. And Drake is Nolan Orr.

Fucking kidding me. The guy in the trailer that we're like, who is that guy? Yeah. That is Troy Baker, who is, I almost said Nolan Orr. Nathan Drake's brother. Have they ever mentioned that he had his brother in the story? This is the clash of titans right here. We hit the crux.

Yeah. The nexus of the universe. There is nowhere else for the video game industry to go. And then at the end, Nathan Drake will die and give his notebook to Troy Baker and say, you continue on. With my dumb adventures. Surely we are the uncharted. That was kind of worth it.

But I'm really intrigued by the whole thing. You know, brother, we really are the Nolan Orr. Yeah, but it's kind of like really sad. It's like a fourth is okay. Don't worry, brother. I'll make sure you deserve these. Blow it up. Make a completely different.

Did you, did you play the other ones? I just played one a little bit in a couple hours. So all the levels in that are flat. Some of them are wide. I'm joking. But like the fact that it's called the chief's end lends credence to the idea that Nathan Drake will actually die in this and pass the torch to his Troy Baker brother. Or his brother.

Or his brother. Anyway. But wouldn't that be funny? Y'all ready for arrow time? Arrow time. Arrow time. Zelda, baby. Jumping off the pota.

I remember Pat asked me, like, what did you, did you see that Zelda thing? And I was like, it was a great translated LP of going to nothing because they never got to their destination. That happens when you show games early. That one moment of them flipping off and then Miyamoto just going, oh, time to slow down now. Yeah. I was like, that was kind of worth it.

Miyamoto going. Ask me. I don't like this action game. Shit. You're putting it in there. If you fucking asked me whether that first clip of Link flipping off and doing the shot was a gameplay mechanic, I would have said, go fuck yourself. I said that.

Yeah. And it's like. And you told me that. Bam. They're right there. Wow. Wow. Wow.

There was a, there was a moment we were watching this and I'm like, I was about to say that the ground texture, the grass texture, it looks really bad. Yeah. And then he turns Epona and I see it's because the wind has blown the grass flat. Yeah. Yeah. And then he turns and I get to see that it's actually a billion blades of grass. Yeah.

Yeah. And it was like, oh. Yeah. It was like a team of a YouTube video of a TV that the grass was like that in Wind Waker, but it was just isolated little pockets and it was the entire huge blades of grass. Yeah. It was an awesome picture of one of the first pieces of art from Zelda one. Yeah.

I saw that where he's looking out of the clip and it looks identical and an orange like blood red sky and then it cuts to the picture of it. Like I just kind of wish that why, why wasn't this full screen? Why was it? Yeah. They don't want to show anything. Because you would have seen the part. So people already saw when he zooms in like it looks like fucking garbage, but like it's

rough. It looks rough and they want to minimize that. I think but also the fact that it was also pre-recorded on top of it is like, yeah, they don't want anyone seeing this game up close until they don't want an Uncharted mode. But why not just another big trailer? Like yeah, last time. Why not? It was a special video prepared for Kiwi.

Yeah. We're done. We're done. You set up this format. Shut up. Metal Gear Online has stuff. Fucking plush DD. Super cute.

So this is made by Kojima LA. So it'll control really well. Yeah. They confirmed by the way it's coming out the same day as MGS5 Shocker. But it's going to be in the fucking disc, isn't it? Why wouldn't it be? Well it wasn't in Japan. Oh wow.

Oh really? Japan Metal Gear Online was a separate disc from before. You're right. You're right. Yeah, they sold separately. Japan does that a lot. You got to pay for Monster Hunter servers on Try over in Japan. It remains to be seen whether for Metal Gear Online they'll release it as like a free-to-play

title or it'll be a purchase title or it'll come with five or like my preference would be a really, you know, like a Ki-style free-to-play title. Yeah. I actually really like, I wish, Ki does that fucking set up so perfectly. It's so perfect. Yeah, that's the great tragedy of it and how fucking still people to this day think it's like this shitty free-to-play title pass. Because of IGN's mis-recording of the entire thing.

League and Dota are fucking huge and it's just the console people like us that don't have experience with this. I wish there was a way to see the numbers. I wish. Ah. For which? For Ki. Because it's doing well enough that they're saying.

Never. Keep going. But we don't know how to watch. We literally never have any numbers, you know. Microsoft will never tell you. Well, all we can say, all we know is at the beginning of the generation, the thirst was real. It's so real.

Presumably it sold a lot at the beginning. But yeah. MGO. Question marks. MGO, yeah. Confirmation of multiple playable boss characters. Or like three characters. At least.

At least Ocelot's there. At least Ocelot and boss. This gave me my Rumble Roses characters. Yeah. The one true Metal Gear character. Yeah. Metal Gear solidified the controls and the movement play a million times better. Ah, fuck.

So this game looks great. Next one. Cryopat. No Man's Sky is still gorgeous. Oh my god. Go watch the half hour clip. Go watch the half hour game the former has. It's really good.

I watched it. Oh my god. The way he's showing the graphs of how the world is being generated. The best graph ever. I'm not sure if you saw this, but the number one question that's coming with No Man's Sky is what do you do? You explore. And the answer is.

The people that say that are the people that are probably not going to like it. Yeah. You know what I mean? The people that want to shoot. That's what I want to do. No, me too. But it's more trailers show up. People are just like, no, I want to do with that.

You can shoot. No, you can get stuff. You can upgrade your ship. I'm kind of afraid though because I'm the guy that likes sailing. So I'm good. But the primary gameplay is literally everything in service of being able to go one planet farther. So after watching that game and former video specifically, you kind of get a feel that it's like, well, they didn't plan this.

They kind of just came up with it. They made the tech. And the game. And the game. Exactly. So the analogy he gives us, like you get on a train and you start shoveling coal into the engine and then you're going. And you're like, we didn't.

The only reason why we made this is because we were too dumb to start it, but then we're too smart to make it work. You know, sorry. No, we were dumb enough to start this, but we're smart enough to make it work. Yeah. And like the fact that it's going and they're like, okay, I guess we have to have a game now. Yeah.

So there are. We built an entire local cluster galaxy. We made a concept. They didn't even. Well, the machine. They just made algorithms for it. They built the machine. They made the galaxy.

So it's a very interesting like study on like. It's fascinating. Yeah. Because like the fact that like people making Star Wars games are like, I had to sit there with a giant team of people and an entire fucking world. And here you've got it all done perfectly. And it's generated. I still find it so weird that this is the developers that made Joe danger.

Like, imagine if way forward announces tomorrow that they made Skynet. The guy's a genius though. You go see it and you understand the guy's a genius. Hazelight is the new name of the studio that is making a new game and they made brothers. Wait, that's a studio now. The name of the studio, not the game. Okay. It's got Hobos in a train.

Great. That's it. It's got Hobos in a train. Okay. Well, brothers is like the great game that we saw there last year. And it's solid. It's solid. It's about as all as I can say.

You did it? Yeah. Okay. Well, anyway. It was an Xbox Live. Like last time that game was a summer. No games of summer. The one when they stopped doing that.

That was the last one. I have quite a lot I could say about it. But that's not the time. Yeah. Hazelight is basically the name of the studio that EA is like pushing them. They're like, hey, we got these guys are doing the thing. Get on EA for picking these guys up. We're doing indie stuff too.

For this partnership. Yeah. It was us. They took notice of a great game. And yeah, they showed a little trailer and all we can tell is you're two guys riding a train. To somewhere. Probably Hobos or maybe criminals.

I bet you control one of them. Possibly Hobo criminals. That's dangerous. New genre. Yeah, and you control them both with each stick. One person's controlled with Kinect. The other person's controlled with four individual controllers for each limb. Hold up on this stick to drown.

If someone could actually play Kinect and the controller at the same time, they could control different characters. That would be the biggest cluster fuck ever. Quap revelations. Quap. Yeah, I'd play a fucking Xbox Quap game with Kinect. Everyone is a different leg. Yeah.

Have you seen some of them? All override. Or are they your friends? Have you seen some of those extra levels? They're bananas. Progressing through like a cave climbing on the wall and shit. But yeah, no. Not a lot to go on here.

No, not much. But I was going to say like brothers, I think you Pat should definitely jump on that if you have a chance. I remember playing for 10 minutes and going, I hate these controls. I hate them. Well, that's where that ends. Fulbright announces Tacoma. Or should I say the Fulbright company announces their new game Tacoma.

These are the guys that made Gone Home. Yeah. Right, right. Space. Tacoma looks really neat. Yeah. Radio signals. It's about suffocating in space is the is the core idea of this game.

That's cool. Now, now, like, were you able to ascertain any objectives? Yeah. The player character was moving towards some objective, but it wasn't like denoted by an object. Yeah. It wasn't glowy. It's like get to this thing to do the thing and there's oxygen tanks floating in the

air. Somebody saw gravity. Yeah. No, dude, you're thinking of a different game. I'm thinking of a different way. Hold on. He's thinking of the one with that asshole from Microsoft sticking out. We're thinking of Tacoma.

Which one's Tacoma? Tacoma is the one by the guys who did Gone Home. You're thinking of the one by the Microsoft fired guy, right? Adam Orth. Yeah, exactly. That's right. You're thinking of Adam Orth's game. With the astronaut hands.

You're totally right. There's a lot of games that were announced the past couple of days. So which one's Tacoma then? Tacoma is the one where we saw lots of abstract imagery. It seemed kind of Bioshock-esque in the theming and they were in the spaceship. No, that's gone. My brain didn't. There was an open gate and it was like a big Metroid-style gate and then they were floating

through a garden. I might have been pissing at the time. Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. I just loaded up. Okay, so yeah, it's very Bioshock-esque and it had the... Looks really neat. I'm gonna look at this. Yeah, this thing.

You know? And then at the end it had... Amazing. Oh yeah, there was very little of that shown. Yeah, definitely. That looks cool. I mean, you know... We don't know what it is.

Definitely, like, I know the content of Gone One. Walk around and look at the X-Files tapes. Although to be fair, like, having these rapid-fire announcements, I'm now really mixing and matching what is what in that Tilos. Yeah, there's so many indie games now that I'm clearly getting confused as to which ones are which. Yeah, that was perfect. Cyberpunk bartending action.

Woo! Valhalla. Valhalla. And the ones are else. I didn't see those. This game is sick. When was this announced? So this just got announced, like, yesterday or the day before.

Okay, because I wasn't there. This was announced a bit ago. Oh, was it? Well, then the trailer must have come out a couple days ago. The trailer must have come out a couple days ago. I had a good look at that. Yeah, this looks cool, man. It is really cool.

Shoutouts to Uren on Twitter. This game is fucking awesome. It's coming to the VDAT on PC. So it's like anime cyberpunk themed, you're a bartender, and you're talking to customers while you've got to serve them up in a very capers-please kind of way. Never serve drinks to dogs is the rule. That's really good. You have literally anything come up to you.

You can have with a space dog. I had the pleasure of playing it a little bit. Yeah, I did. And, like, the writing is super on point. Nice. I don't know too much about it, because I played like a really early build of it, obviously. Oh, that was the thing. That was one of the things, exactly.

I remember that. Yeah, he's making connections. This game is really good. It's really good. The writing is super up to par, made by a super, super small team. And, like, the end of the demo hits you with a stinger where you're like, okay, everything's not as it should be. Yeah.

Just, like, hit with please. A bit like that. And where can people find more information? Go see Uren at Twitter. Or go to waifubartending.com, I believe. Wow. That game is really awesome. That's good stuff.

I'm really excited for that game. Yeah. Not much else to say there. We can just move on and take the extra time, then. Let's take the extra time. Mario Maker. Oh, yeah. That new trailer.

So glad they have Super Mario Bros. 3, because for a minute there, I was looking like it wouldn't be a purchase. For a minute, it's like, come on, you have to fucking put every Mario style. Yeah. And the fact that it's a touch of a button, change your styles up one to the other to the other. Make a Yoshi's Island style. And I would like a CD-i style, so hopefully we'll find a common one.

Liam, you're so... We can ignore that. It's fine. Okay, win early. Liam, you're totally right. CD-i style. Mario is missing shit. Jesus Christ.

Now, no, you're saying that, but you're actually thinking of Zelda CD-i, because it wasn't... No, I'm thinking of Mario is missing. The spaghetti. There are very few of those animated dumb cutscenes in Mario style. But there's enough. So, if Nintendo knew what the fuck time it was, they'd get the Yarakomi guys. They'd get the I Wanna Be The Guy guys. Yeah.

They'd get the people who invented Kaizo. All of that shit, and you'd fucking get them to make demo... I still have a whole... They can still do it. I still have a firm belief that whenever you're making any game with user-generated content, Little Big Planet, Project Spark, I'm looking at you. Get the good guys. Go, just go.

Talk to Double Fine and say, can we get three of your guys to make a level... Oh my god, you're so right. R2X. Can we get... Yeah. And then when the game launches, you get a mini thing representative of their values. Levels designed by these individuals. And Sound Shapes did that.

That's kind of a hard thing. Sound Shapes is a fucking awesome game. When you're having an old school Japanese developer, I think it's very hard for them to be like, Oh, oh, you think your tiny Western teams know what a... You know what I mean? I can see resistance happening there. In the case of Mario, obviously, at the end of the day, it's going to look like a Mario level. I mean, more...

Yeah, I guess I meant more like Little Big Planet and Project Spark, where you can really change the visuals and shit. Yeah. But for this, definitely the Yerikomi guys would be good guys. Alternatively, they should take the Bethesda approach and say, Okay, so Bethesda, every time their game comes out, for the next game, they look at the most popular and most impressive mods. So for this, okay, we're not going to hire the Kaizo guys,

but let's just make our own fuck you player levels. Yeah, of course. But I'm inspired by it. But it'd be great if there was like a little pack that's like, Here, these levels were made by Sonic Team. These levels were made by the Mega Man guys. Flo Campeth beat this level. I think there's going to be level packs,

because I think they'd be crazy to just ship an editor. Yeah. But I bet it'd be specially made. Yeah, go ahead. Dragon's Dogma online is trademarked. It's probably just deep down. It's probably just deep down. North America at the very least.

But what if it's not deep down? But what if it's not? My dick. Yeah, I'm wrenching my dick. If it's not, then we get deep down and that. And that's a good feature. Well, if it's not, if it's not,

since Capcom can't pay for their own games, it's probably just a PS4, X-Bone version of Dragon's Dogma just enhanced more online shit. Which would be good. See, even if the game ran well. So here's the thing. It's probably just deep down,

but the number one complaint about Dragon's Dogma is that your pawns were not other players. Yeah. Yeah, that's the main thing. You could literally remake that game with co-op. With an expansion content on top of it again. For it to actually be Dragon's Dogma online, they'd have to axle that future shit from deep down.

Or then retcon. Which there's no way they're going to do because they're way too far in development to do that. So, maybe not. I think they're different titles, frankly. I don't think they're the same title at all. I want it so bad to be a different title. But if they wanted to,

Capcom's done that shit before with Mega Man and Street Fighter and shit. Just throwing in, like, okay, now there's a future component for this special spin-off game. Because the only thing about Dragon's Dogma, anything, it has to play the same, it has to feel the same because it feels really good.

And it has to have a big ass land mass with no fast travel. Virtual Fighter Quest. Virtual Fighter Quest. Virtual Fighter Quest is way better. This is just the quest mode in Evo. Okay, no, no, no. Which is amazing.

Virtual Quest. We're talking about the legit game, Virtual Quest. You're with the little kid. That game is such a neat game, but like when you play it, you're like, oh, this should be better. But like, it was going to be something so much cooler. It would not be hard for Capcom to just stretch

deep down into like a new Dragon's Dog. I still think they're separate, but I could totally believe it. What do we got? We got House Mark doing business. Yeah, House Mark. Yeah, House Mark. Resogun coming to PS3 and Super Star Dust.

Whoa, really? Are you serious? And Super Star Dust going to PS4. Also, remember, Resogun Guardians as well. So Resogun, PS3, and Vita is a 30 FPS version of Resogun, and that's how. Because that game uses voxels, man. Voxels are simple, man.

Minecraft uses voxels. No man's got to use voxels. Like, voxels are magic. They're kind of magic. Kind of. They're cutting the framerate in half. Well, that sucks. That sucks.

That's a lot of recoups. But on the other hand, it's got cross-bys. So whatever. I'll play the Vita version, because I already own the PS4 version. And Super Star Dust ultra. Oh, does it? So you just have to go download it?

Yeah. All Sony first-party titles have cross-bys. Retro, active, cross-bys is the most amazing thing ever. When Flower got ported to PS4, and it's just like you own PS4. And that's going to happen with Journey, too. Flower, Soundshapes, the unfinished swan. Well, you own PS4 now.

There's going to be a day when it's just like, hey, you want to play Journey at 108060 right now? Yeah. And it'll take you 90 minutes. Do it. Yeah. Yeah. And like I said, Super Star Dust is coming along as well.

That's a good start. Super Star Dust is so good. It's nice to see that they're doing that. Every version of Super Star Dust, you can just go back to it. And even the PSP one is so good. Like they all hold up perfectly. And I think there's one on every Sony platform

from PS3 Forward, right? Yeah. There's some new stuff coming as well to it. There's, what do you call it? The Defender's Expansion Pack? Sure. A Rezagon. For Rezagon.

The Guardians, I think. They're calling it the Defender's Expansion Pack. No, no. It's called Rezagon Guardians. Rezagon Defenders. Defenders? They're actually calling it Defenders. Yes.

That's hilarious. That's awesome. That's the name. Right on the nodes. We got... Why is this not scrolling? Our minutes are like computer canned. Well, Sakurai sounds like he's done.

Sounds like he's still always done. Sakurai is like tapping out. Every time he's done. Now that I have hook hands, I find it difficult to type this. Now that I'm just some Japanese captain hook. And he's doing it in a manner that makes it really difficult for Nintendo to come back in.

You mean very publicly? Yeah. And it's like... But they still could. And I think he might have to escalate a little bit. It's like what Kojima used to say. I don't want to work on Metal Gear anymore. But Kojima still works for Konami.

Yeah. So, huh. Sakurai doesn't actually work for Nintendo. Yeah. So, when you go out there and say, I don't want to make another Smash Bros. as loud as you can. That's going to cost something if you want him back.

Yeah. How about if we give you Cyborg hands? They need... They need to be... I need four. So, they said I'm done for an interview. And he basically talked and said, look, when I made Brawl...

When I made Melee, I thought it was the last Smash Bros. game ever. When I made Brawl, I thought it was the last Smash Bros. game ever. I am not a person that can sit here and tell you there will never be another Smash Bros. game. I don't have the authority to do that. Of course.

What I can say is, I'm probably not going to be working on it. He still said probably though. Yeah. And they offer him a hundred billion dollars. You know? And Cyborg hands. But that being said,

that's probably not a bad thing for the franchise. That's probably not... Bandai Namco did a lot of heavy lifting on this. He's a genius fucking dude. And then he killed himself putting all that content in. But, like, it's also killing him. And I think enough of the groundwork has been laid that another very good developer

can come along and follow those tracks. There's enough knowledge of what makes Smash good. Like, available nowadays that, like, you know, I think anyone else, not anyone else, but I think someone else can do it. A Cory Barlog can come along after a date of Jaffee. Yeah. Yeah, good point.

Yeah? Amagon is not a game. It is no game. What is this? Fuck is it then? Remember when we saw that Spanish trailer for Amagon? Yeah. Oh yeah.

Spell Amagon backwards. Not a game. No game. No game. Damn, that's good. It is a stupid promotion for how to get the 20th anniversary edition of the PS4. For Spain.

Yeah. For Spain. Oh, fuck everything. Yeah. They spent a lot of money on that tree. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, is this a moldy new thing? Are we doing that now?

No. Fuck out of here. Sony Spain. Damn it. Spending all that money on that. Can't you just make creepy baby commercials like everybody else? Yeah, like everyone else.

Like the regular branches of Sony. That being said, how much you willing to pay for one of these white PS4s, man? Yeah. It's got it with the little blue line and they're all the same blue line, but I mean it's nice little... It's gray and PS1 themed.

Grayish. Yeah. Looks nice. Thing is, when I was buying mine, I had the option to go for a white one and I was tempted because that's the one that's not the default. That's nice, yeah.

Right? It's always the opposite. It's how your brains work. It's stupid. Yeah. But then I looked at my wall right here and you can look at my wall. It's all black.

I noticed it before. It's just all black content. How shitty would a white PS4 look in the middle of this black? It would be a sore thumb. Absolutely. It would ruin this gen as black. It would be like an Xgen Oreo.

It would be fucking weird. It would be really weird. Yeah. Delicious. So the Spanish PS4, PS1 thing, you know the PS1 themed PS4s? Yeah. They have like 800 and it's an auction system

to get them. Insane. But all the money goes to charity. Yeah. So it's like they got so few consoles that they had to make a way to get it out without pissing everyone off. That being said, if you're thinking about

getting that insanely rare PS4 and wanting to pay the money for it, the best part about that system is free because it's the theme that has the PlayStation 1 boot up noise. And then the system music is a combination of the PS2 memory card background noise and the PS3 in symphony.

The tuning. You hear the little space noise. Metal Slug 3 is coming to PS4 and more SNK classics are on the way. We're on Vita again. They want to know. They're coming. That's your job, Liam.

I know. That's your job, Vita. You got the fucking page in front of your face. There's probably a lot on that page. They put a giant voting box. What do you want? What games do you want? KUF 98 Ultimate Match.

KUF 2002 Ultimate Match. Go. Fuck that noise. Fuck you. Go. I voted for Garo. And? And Last Blade 2.

And Sengoku 3. That's where we're fucking going. I didn't even know it was that list. Dude, the list is like 20-something. I was really disappointed with that list because I have versions of all of those that I can play really easily. Yeah, but I don't.

Just give them more eyeballs, man. Bring them back for the new generation. Yeah, I guess. Is there a button that says all? I was just... I wish it was some games that haven't been ported. Artifighting 2 Fatal Turf Masters. Garo Market of the Wolves.

KOF 97. KOF 2000. Last Blade 2. What the fuck is this thing? KF... KOF 97. Neo Turf Masters. Fatal Fury Reel about the newcomers.

Rick Stroud. Samurai Showdown 2. Samurai Showdown 5 Special. Sengoku 3. Shock Troopers 2nd Squad. Twinkle Star Sprites. And the Ultimate 11. Ultimate 11.

How about Samurai Showdown RPG? How about that? Can we get that? No. No? We're not allowed? No, you're not allowed. The game that we never got.

The RPG said, yeah. Yeah, that would have been nice. That's like... Clearly, this is a rom that's already got. What's a Saturn? Guess what? It's not going to happen because they lost the data. They physically lost the data.

Alongside Samurai Showdown 64 and the other one. I'm glad that after the positive response to Metal Slug 3, getting this polished up, dolled up treatment that they're just like, yeah, we're going to do more. Yeah? What do you want? We can't make new games. Metal Slug 3D. Where is it?

You want it? No, we don't. It's the best version. No. No, that was a downer that day when I played that TS2 game. Oh, the 3D. 3D. As I said, 3D.

Yeah. That was a fucking... Yeah. That was a shattered soldier moment. That was not good. I survived it. Get Out of Hell has a musical number. Yeah?

Yeah. It's a fucking five minute musical trailer where they're singing the whole way through. Apparently, so I watched it. It's fucking ridiculous, of course, but here's the thing. This musical fucking break is right in the middle of the critical path. It's like... There's no way to avoid it. You cannot avoid this.

Yeah. You have to. When I saw this, I was really hoping that more cutscenes in that game will be musical. We're going to become this. I really hope that trend in this one. Yeah. Because why not? Who's done it before?

Exactly. I'm really excited for Get Out of Hell because I think I've talked about it before. I love that $20 AAA experience that's not 40 hours long. Yeah. You know? So like a 15 hour... I burned out on Saints Row 4. It was too much.

Yeah. And I never touched it, but... I finished Saints Row 3 and I loved it. And when I got into 4, I was like, oh, yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, I couldn't do it. I was well. I got burned out.

Could you imagine, like, during the musical parts, a little mini-game like Resay Special where you've got to do the rhythm bits? You mean a rhythm game? Yeah. And like, if you fuck up, their notes go off. That'd be nice. That'd be really fun. Just for bonus points when you start the next act.

Just like Kingdom Hearts 2 is what you're saying. Damn it! We both love the same place. I remember me and Power talking about Kingdom Hearts the other day. The Kingdom Hearts. The Kingdom Hearts zooms at Lancia level for a little mermaid. You've got to sing. It's not an action sequence.

It's a rhythm game where you, Sora, and Donald and Goofy are singing with Ariel about underwater shit and how she wants penis. Dude, it's great. Of course. Human penis. You've got to get a reverse mermaid. Would you do it? Or just a real Ariel mermaid?

It's always reverse. This guy wants the reverse mermaid. Yes, I would like to have sex with a female human. Yeah, no. That dies in front of you. If it's a reverse mermaid, you can ignore the fish parts most of the time. No, you have to have sex with that. You can have sex and not the fish parts.

No, you can. But you don't tell me where I can have sex with it. I don't, thank God. Is there a cylinder body leading up to like a shark tail kind of fish face? Can't answer that. No, it's a horrible fish guppy face. That's the doorbell. I'm going to go get it.

Go get the doorbell. The new 3DS has a secret browser minigame. Have you seen it? No, I didn't. It's pretty funny. Extool me the virtues of this minigame. So when you're in the browser, you go to your favorites menu and you tap on the screen. And then it starts up a little arcanoid thing where you have to hit the words of the URL you're at.

Oh, that's cute. And each letter breaks into a pixel. That's really cute. And you bounce it back and forth and stuff. That reminds me of all the fun minigames they have like on the Wee Photo Channel and on the Music Player for the 3DS. They have a ton of minigames in there and those are super fun. Yeah, I wouldn't say it's worth the price of entry, but that's a cool little addition.

Sorry, did you hear the... Was anyone at the door? No, no, no. Just hit the button. Nope. Not my house. Nope. Ah, shit.

Not your house, not your problem. You expecting hookers? God damn it. Now, you'd be nice if you got us a pizza. Like, I always get everyone pizza. Alright, let me confirm. We got a pot. Hold on.

Hold on. Yeah, it was just a... A KFC man from Woolies Remate. There you go. That's all. That's all there is to it. We missed a buzz there, so moving along. What do you got?

What do you got? Come on. Get the energy back. It doesn't matter. We missed the fucking trailer for Summer Lesson. When? What do you mean? There was a trailer that came out with a little bit more footage.

Not too much. Wow, what a news story. I didn't miss that. What are you saying? I missed the trailer. Okay. He's developing it. We didn't cover it.

We didn't talk about it. We didn't cover it last time. There's barely anything new in there. No, but I'm showing you some of the little nodding controls and the things going on. You know what, man? I'm on board. I'm down. I'm in.

Totally. Totally. You know? My heart is the controller vibrate. Now, here's the question, though. I need to know. I need to know. If you play this like a tutorial, like a teacher, and you are not trying to creep, and you're

not trying to perv at all, does she kill you at the end? Because she was secretly in there. Does she throw it at you at some point? Do you know what I mean? Oh, no. I dropped my books. Hold on while I pick them up. Oh, I got to go to the bathroom, and then she goes to the bathroom.

You have to sit there and wait. And then he slips to the Chuck Berry Cam. And then you just sit there and wait? I don't know, man. You know? It's just that room, so, you know, nobody knows. Kojima forces you to stare at Paz's underwear. He forces you.

He forces you. Literally. When was that? In an unportable office. No, you didn't force him, but you did. No, Peace Walker. Peace Walker. Yeah, wait, he doesn't force you.

You have to actually press the button. You have the option. You have to act. It's the same thing as an MGS3, where you can hold first person to look at the tits. Yeah, you thought you had to. Oh! You don't. You don't have to.

Oh! I thought that was... Yeah, you know, values are so big. It was like an MGS3, yeah. Well, the first time through, you would probably have to. And then you're supposed to zoom back out like a normal hero. Yeah. You probably would, though.

He's getting old. It's not his fault. Yeah, it's not his fault. It doesn't matter now. And we've got a couple of movie announcements going on. We're going to start out with 007 Spectre. Oh! Kanzlanda is the villain in a James Bond movie now.

I hope he doesn't die so he can be the villain in all the other ones. That'd be really sick. So, something neat about 007 is that, like... Oh! Some guy called Glorious Bastards. Oh, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Christoph Waltz.

The greatest actor ever. Yeah, okay, okay. The dentist from... Yes. It's going to go on chain. It's going to go on chain. I did that. I organized the name.

Christoph Waltz. He's the villain. You got Monica Baluchi in there as a Bond girl. Like, a little late, sure, but... Oh my god, still good. No, still good, still good. You know, I mean, the ass is still ripe. Yeah, and then it's being brought to us by the same director that...

Do you need to say fruit or... No, no. It's ripe. It's ripe. It's fine. Like, right on the nose. Right on the nose. Or not the nose.

Yeah. It's brought to us by the guy that also directed Skyfall Sam Mendes, so... If you want a pretension, doesn't have a fantasy. Yeah. Get behind. Or you can go and... Or you can... Or you can fuck that noise.

Are we talking about the classy? You can fuck that noise and then you can shoot them up where it was all about the chest for her, if you remember that scene from a shoot-a-lot. We get that Jimmy Kimmel, like, a Kardashian snowblower onto the show. As you'll notice... As you'll notice... You see that? No, what is that?

It's the fucking Volvo. All right, let's get on task. Let's get on task. And it's just a snowblower that shoots snow out of rats. That's hilarious. 007 Spectre, and it's called Spectre, because that organization was used in James Bond movies in the 60s, and they lost the rights for 30 years, Spectre. Oh, remember?

Remember the end of... To that name. So when you played shit like Rogue Agent, they couldn't call it Spectre anymore, so they changed it to Octopus, so all the guys were Octopus, and now they finally got the rights so fast. Remember the Unescox? Well, there was a very concerted effort to try and go back to the very old South Park, well, part of that is Spectre.

Yeah. And they've also said that they're going to kill Quads off at some point. You're done. That's why it looks like an Octopus. So next, we've got Suicide Squad casted. This is so weird. How's it weird? It's just a group of villains.

Yeah? Yeah, people love superhero movies. Suicide Squad is going to be an upcoming game. It's the new DLC for Lego Batman. It is. It can't be called Suicide Squad. The Squad. But yeah, no, Suicide Squad's been a thing in DC for a bit.

No, no, I know it has. Harley Quinn on the fucking big screen. Oh, yeah. Harley Quinn, it's so weird that Tom Hardy is in it, not as Bane as a completely different person. And Will Smith joins the DC universe. Finally, I can end my hunger strike. We've all been waiting for it.

And Cock. And Cock joins the DC world. This is the time, Will Smith, now, not when you were young and the hottest thing in the world. Have you heard about superhero movies? I hear that they're, I should probably, you'll be kidding on that. These kids don't know about Big Willie Style. Can Jaden be my, no.

No. The Suicide Squad is directed by the writer of Training Day. Yeah, okay. Yeah. He also directed that dumb tank movie that came out not too long ago, Shia LaBouf and Brad Pitt. Oh. Oh, the war thing.

He specifically, he specifically gets hired for these movies because, oh, there's a group ensemble hire this guy. All right. Because he's good with group ensemble movies. I would love to see a movie called The War Thing. The War Thing. It's the one where Shia LaBouf fucking punched his tooth out for the movie. Yeah, what an awesome asshole.

The only thing though is that like, actual cannibal Shia LaBouf. Suicide Squad represents one of the first steps into a mega movie franchises. Trying. Where it's like, okay, we see big. We have the right to what? What do we have? We've got Spider-Man. Okay.

Turn Spider-Man into its own universe. Yeah. And that's what Suicide Squad is. Spider-Man is more value-pulled than Batman and Superman and the next two combined. It's ridiculous. I don't know. Yeah. I read that.

I read that in another movie. Oh, fuck. That's when. That's when. Soon. You guys see the trailer for Terminator Genesis? Yes. You know what?

It was not a stinker. It wasn't. This concept literally solves my Terminator timeline problem. You remember when I broke down how nothing in the Terminators franchise makes sense? Because all the events in the future occur within 10 minutes of each other? We broke this down. Yeah. We had a giant rant about it.

This takes that into account and says, if you just keep sending more people back in past, the past is going to change. So there's a great moment there. And I'm sad that they spoiled it in the trailer, where it's like you get back to the past and they're like, yeah, we know who the fuck are you. But. You think you're not special? That's the only moment you can put in a trailer to get people to understand the concept, unfortunately.

Like I can't think of any other moment that's more like, oh, this is different than you. I agree with you. You know what I mean? Like I went into the trailer like, oh, I hope this is good. And then it was good. And I was like, oh, I wish I didn't see that. Yeah. Exactly.

I wish I could have went. I need to be sold. Oh, no, they sold me too hard. They went back to the shot that I was looking for. But I'm excited for it. Yeah. You're supposed to do this, which is the end of part three. Yeah.

Where you're like the nukes going off fucking deathcon style. I was a little more critical of the trailer because that actor and his lines that played John Connor, just the worst John Connor I've ever seen. Yeah. He's not intimidating at all. The delivery was bad. I'm not even all sold on Sarah. I know you like her, but I'm not even all sold on Sarah than anything else.

I've come to the conclusion that I hate John Connor. Yes. I don't hate the John Connor that never talked in Terminator one and two. In Terminator two. The old John Connor. But like you, but you don't know enough about him. But yeah. No, the last great human savior John Connor sucks and has never been portrayed cool.

No, because you can't. It's portraying Jesus. Sarah Connor fucking radical in every incarnation. Yeah. Yeah. Child or shit Messiah or John Connor. Had to be John Wick. Go on.

It looks like Toho is trying to cash in on that Godzuki hype. Toho is trying to cash in on their own thing. That America made cool. That America made cool. Yeah. I couldn't believe this. It was a person on my Twitter going, Hey, did you know, Matt, what do you think about Toho really?

Like what? No. What are you talking about? And then I couldn't find it. I Google for like 10 minutes. I can't find this news. This guy is just a fucking liar. And then some other fans just said, No, wait, here it is.

This obscure thing. And the link I gave you is a more updated thing. And it's Toho just saying Godzilla committee. There's a committee now and we're just going to push him super hard because yeah, they're cashed in on pushing. There's room to push him. There's room to push him. That's why the game.

The green light. That fucking dropped with something along the lines of what better time than now? What better place than here? And really? Yeah. What better time than now? So they're doing a whole committee and they have like a group of chairman that are all trying to push.

Who sits on this committee? Ghidorah and Rodin? No. They would say no Godzilla movies. Where's our movies? And the deal they signed with Legendary lets them make domestic movies as much as they want. Yeah.

That's a favorable deal. This is an ultimate thing for me as a stupid fanboy for this shit because then you get American movies and Japanese movies at the same time. Which obviously, obviously builds up. And I like too American versus Japan. I'm thinking about the sit down with Legendary where they're like, so we have a clause in here where we're still allowed to make movies and all the Legendary guys just high-five and they're like, yeah, yeah.

Too much Godzilla can't be good, man. No, you shut up. You shut your fucking mouth. You might be right. It might be to an over-saturation point but at the same time. Can you imagine if another team of people in the UK were making Bond movies at the same time? Yeah, it's kind of weird too.

It's true. But there's such a different language barrier of Japanese and American types of movies. I thought you were going to say between British and English. Let's see. Oh. And last but not least, we got to squeeze this one in at the buzzer. This number 40? This is number 446 or whatever.

Shit. Ninja Slayer, the new anime by Trigger. I said to you this guy is like, why is he living in my house? With music from Boom Boom Satellite. I heard that singer and I was like, yeah, shut up. It's down. Yeah, exactly. The color palette is so 90s it hurts.

So I was like, this was cool. What the fuck is Ninja Slayer? And I went and I looked it up and apparently- Slay's Ninjas. It is a western manga. Yeah. What? It is an American manga. So it's a comic.

It is a comic. Good one. Good one. Yeah. Trigger was like, we want to make this. And it's like a- Didn't they announce that they were doing something? We talked about it on the podcast- They announced this one a long while ago, but it looks really good.

It looks really cool. Yeah. Now that we're seeing some other- Color. Man, that went nuts on the color. I kept going. How very deadly he was looking of you. Yeah. I remember that.

And I was like, Ninja Gaiden? Ninja Gaiden? Yeah. It should know me? No. It's got the long scarf though. Long scarf. It's got the long scarf.

Multiple characters have long scarves. It looks like Karras really. He stands under. No, it doesn't look like Karras. Yeah. Karras is 3D. Snake hits that girl's boots. No, I mean the character design.

It looks like- He looks like Shinobi a little bit. That's the snakes too. He stands on the rooftop. He's got the big scarf going. You got Karras in the arms. Cross the arms. Yeah. And Trigger now has like a defined like main character look.

Yeah, kind of. That guy just looks like a dude version of Matoi. Which is kind of a dude version of Kevin. Like, it's fine. It is fine. But no one can argue at this point that like- They've got their look now. No, they're doing a thing.

Yeah. You know. Yeah. I feel good. I didn't see a date on that. You got to- Not later to then today. Sure.

There's your date. And we're done. And congratulations guys. Give yourselves a hand. We made it. We pulled it off. That was what? 92 minutes of fast things?

That's fun. That's a good thing. It was pretty good. Hey, I was trying to say- The experience kicked ass. What a good fucking press conference. What a good conference. I'm sorry.

What is for the press? It was clarified by the way that that's going to be annual. Good. Which is good. So now everyone was saying it should be- So Microsoft should do its own. And then we get to have four E3s. Five E3s a year.

Microsoft should do their own. But they like better have as much content. Yeah. The Sony one, the Microsoft one, the E3, the gamescom and the TGS. Yeah. Thank you Nintendo Directs for making this the standard. Kind of, yeah. I wish we could get more.

What I mean- I would actually- Have your own show. I would prefer one not. All of the used to be Nintendo Directs. I wish we could get into it. All the old style. Sure.

Just fast. I wish we could get them to- Alright, I'll just take some quick letters. It was actually a month ago and you said I didn't like it. Which one was that one? The one that you said you didn't like. Which one was it? Probably.

What? Because there wasn't anything that you were excited about. Which one was it? It was Project Steam. They talked a lot about Project Steam. Oh, I like Project Steam, but it looks like... I don't remember that Nintendo Direct. Where would you send letters?

There you go. If you want to tell us about how not excited you are about Project Steam, you can send letters to superbestfriendcastatgmail.com. Conversely, if you can want to tell us about how sick it looks and how much fun it's probably to be- I love intelligent systems. You can also write into superbestfriendcastatgmail.com. Don't imply words in my mouth.

I think that game looks awesome. Don't imply anything in your mouth that I want to. Yeah. And you know what? A lot of you guys have been recently- What? What? A lot of you guys have been taking your questions, spacing it into its own line, break and bolding

it. Thank you. Keep doing that. Alright. That's actually super good. So, the first one we got is actually just a little heads up. Not really a question, but Phillip wants to let Matt know about the real-life punisher that lives in Davao City in the Philippines.

Really? He's the mayor. What? So, he's Hagar Punisher? So, the mayor of Davao City- Punisher girl? In the Philippines basically leads a vigilante group. And while he doesn't directly say it on camera that he leads the group, everyone fucking knows

he does. And they're responsible for over 700 missing criminals in the last five years. Wow. 700? 700? Yeah. He and his group publicly do say things, however. Like, well, the group says things and he says things, and he says like, look, I'm not going

to say whether I'm involved or not involved with these kinds of groups, but I will say this. If you're pushing drugs or breaking the law in my city, I will kill you. What is he? Black dynamite? This man is untouchable. He's Hagar Punisher. So, I can't possibly personally endorse vigilante violence because mistakes get made.

Yes. If you live in a city in which 700 violent drug criminals can just disappear and I've never even heard about it, your city must be fucking bad. Yeah, man. It's maybe you need a little bit. A little bit of that vigilante stuff. It used to be the most violent city in the South. Yes.

So, if your mayor can be the Punisher and people abroad don't even hear about it, then you might need your mayor to be the Punisher. Yeah. So, this guy, he's been mayor for the last- That's pretty radical. 20 years or so. It's nuts. And he's just been fucking-

Enough is enough and it's time for a change. If you're doing illegal activity in my city, if you're a criminal or part of a syndicate that preys on innocent people, as long as I'm the mayor, you are a legitimate target for assassination. That everything up until the mayor is what the Punisher would say. When he says the mayor, he's Hagar for a second. And then he goes back to the VFR. It's like what you would say in the plea for civility is you would usually say this isn't

Wild West anymore. This place sounds like the actual Wild West. A little bit. In 2012, he offered $120,000 for anyone that could bring him the decapitated head of an alleged gang leader. So, I don't know which is crazier. The whole scenario or that this scenario exists and the guy's been mayor for 20 years and no one's taking him out despite being on TV?

He was willing to throw in an extra 24K if you brought the head in a bag of ice so it wouldn't smell so bad. This motherfucker is for real. Wow. Wow. And that's all there is to say about that. That's just that. Wow, so remember that I'm playing with other guys like you all over the world.

Giovanni sends in this letter saying, did you know about this? How's your chest cleavage? Oh, that's super cool. Yeah, I saw I've seen that before. I didn't see that one. That's good stuff also. This is a picture of a custom made villager that is John Cena. Villager Amiibo.

So, not that particular one, but custom amiibos. I think the phrasing you used was of course people are going to warhammer this shit. Of course they are. There are high quality figures that you can paint if you want. Well, high quality enough to paint. Yeah. And if you can paint it, people will transfigure it and all sorts of shit. People will change it.

That light suit Samus looks really good. All you have to marry him. I can't wait to see the VR Mac that someone will make. With Zelda's screenshots, this put a goddamn Jodaro hat on her and you were done. Yeah. So, people will do it to anything. It's fucking awesome. Okay, Bill wants to know, have you guys ever felt a Wii U disc like really felt it?

Yes, the edges are okay. So, do you remember before the Wii U came out when I bought that copy of Assassin's Creed 3 a week before and I passed it around the office because that shit felt amazing. So smooth. And everyone was like, wow, you're crazy, Liam, and then they held it and it's like, oh my god. So, you got a glimpse of this back in the PS1 era. The black discs had an extra layer.

Slightly. You could feel it. It wasn't rounded. It wasn't rounded on the end. It wasn't nearly the same as a Wii U disc in scale. Wii U disc is very different. But the black disc, and I remember if you spent the money to go buy yourself the black discs when you were making your totally legal backups, they would run better.

And more consistently, in your hypothetical test environments. But those RVTs just feel so good on the fingers. They feel like the Wii U discs feel like they're handmade in the mountains somewhere. By elves. By elves. And regular discs feel like they're manufactured in a fucking factory. I could lie on a bed of sideways Wii U discs. Silas wants to know, straight up best friends, what's your favorite dinosaur?

Dinosaur? All the feathered ones. These way onto the feathered shit. He loves the feathered dinosaurs. They ruined them. They fucking ruined them. My favorite is the Triceratops. Pseronactyl.

Is that Tyrannosaurus Rex? No. What am I? A hipster? No. You're a regular human red blooded male. No. I always like the Triceratops because I would have all my dinosaur toys or whatever.

And I was looking at it. It's like, you know, the T-Rex is pretty tall. And I'm looking at my toys. Like, the Triceratops just runs forward. T-Rex is dead. T-Rex? Right into its guts. Right.

Or he could just dodge offset. Yeah, I guess. T-Rex is just too... The baby arms ruin it. The baby arms are everywhere for me. Yo, that's why it's so hilarious. And you should, you know, be like a little sympathy for him. I liked it.

What do you want from me? I like Triceratops. Although Sarah, total punk. Yeah. Shout out to Diplodocus. Shout out to Diplodocus. You know what? All these names we're saying are probably all outdated because science just needs to keep

going. We need dinosaurs for everyone. Well, look, I love pterodactyls because it's the closest we'll ever get to a sky-back. They gave you dinosaurs. I thought you were going to say the pterosaur. Right? Yeah, you're right. I want a real sky-back.

Plus, I want my pterosaur to start to go, mmm, yes. It's only the actual pterosaur. I was never deep into dinosaurs. So I don't know if I have a pterosaur. Yeah, because they were big. They were really cool. Oh, yeah. I don't fucking worship dynaetopia.

I think carnosaurs look cool, but they're not real dinosaurs. Yeah. All right, fair enough. Can I say the Megalodon shark? You can, technically, I think. Oh, no, fuck that. Those are our seratops. That's fucking awesome.

Gary says, hey, guys, I've been playing a lot of gunmen Clive lately, but I've been having trouble in that stage with the mines and the seesaw platforms. Yeah. What are your least favorite traps in a game? Evil Within just brought this to a fucking new level with Death Roombas. Death Roombas is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I know what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about.

I only experienced it once, but I can feel the anger. Those plants in Evolve fucking pissed me off. Oh, yeah. We were shoved into an unfortunate situation. We are unlucky. That's electric seaweed in the underwater section. Evolve was otherwise fantastic. Every single hazard in the Borderline Unplayable Planet Pachinko for We Wear.

Holy shit, that game is a fucking mess, and there are hazards everywhere, and that is not fun. I want to give big shout-outs to an old RPG staple, but not the mimics, but the straight-up, trapped RPG chest that your thief had to roll a perception check into its vicinity to even notice that the trap was there. I'm in the fucking expansion Super Dungeon right now in Baldur's Gate, and every single, I know every single chest is locked, because if I don't notice that it's trapped, then I just eat the trap when it opens, because they're all trapped. Yeah.

So my thief is just standing next to the mic, please. Your fine traps is at 100%. Notice the trap. Notice, I know it's there. See, that's fun in real life, because back in the day, our DM would just put his book down, look at our thief and go roll your dice, and he'd roll it and go roll again. Roll again. Roll again.

You're all fucked. Yeah, that was good times. That's what comes to mind. Yeah, I guess you guys all, do you have any? Not off the top of my head, but I'm sure we could calm pretty much everything. I hated everything in this person, just every trap we had. Everything in the video. It always got in my way.

Well, that's what that's there for. I know, what a bunch of dicks. Michael, he's sitting around his dumbest death room, buzz. Michael says, I line of nations, go. Oswald from King of Fighters 11. Oswald, Earthworm Jim. Zack from Dead or Alive. Ralph from 2K13.

Pretty much every character in some games. Oh, got another dog. Somebody's trying to break in. I'm going to go, well, I'm going to do it. We should throw that door right away. Sorry for the rude interruption there. We were getting a busy door this day. Busy door.

It's those drugs we ordered. All of those drugs on the way. It wasn't the drugs we ordered. Man, I didn't order. You gave me the wrong drugs, man. These aren't the drugs I need. What are you going to do? Talk mad shit to your drug dealer?

Just going to shoot you. I line of nations, Earthworm Jim. Yeah, that's good. Eleanor from Street Fighter 3. That's a good one. Well, there's platformers where the guy changes and does different things. Sakura from Street Fighter Alpha

with her bob back and forth. That's a one post. Are you sure? Yes, I'm super confident. Eight thousand percent. Eleanor, but you took Eleanor. Twelfth. He's bopping to the beat, man.

There's a Sonic game in which Sonic kills himself if you wait too long. I was going to say most Sonic games have good ones. He literally leaves the game or just spontaneously dies. I'm not talking about the timer. Hit zero. He's actually like, fuck this.

Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong Country Returns has a lot where he sits down and takes out a 3DS and every time he takes it out, it's different game sounds that you can hear. So he'll be playing his own game. He'll be playing Mario. He'll be playing lots of other games. We got one from Tyler.

What's your favorite beer? Beer? Yeah. My record's a lot, but I wouldn't call it my favorite. Heineken is an easy choice. There's a local brand called Chevalier and it's a really nice little apple kind of flavor. Probably.

I had a friend of mine bring over a new kind of beer. I don't know where you got it called Mad Jacks. Yeah, that's good. You would love it. I got that at Beer Fest when they were just unveiling it. It was awesome. Now that I'm on board with Black Velvet's Guinness. I like Guinness now, man.

It's thick, but Black Velvet got me into it. It's like drinking a loaf of bread. Yeah. Like I said, I'm not super into beer, but that Mad Jack stuff is really good. Yeah, I don't like beer. It tastes like beer. Yeah, you learn to love it.

Jason says you should be more careful with your promo art and it's a picture of me giving Liam the giant swing. Yeah. Clops close together with a Brazzers logo. Your weight is ass on that shelf. I'll talk to two snacks about that. That's the image you gave. Actually, when I saw it, I didn't think that well.

The instant I saw it, I'm like, there's a penis. We all have no reservations about the homoerotic appearances of our art or persons in real life. Yeah. We encourage it. We encourage it. Absolutely. I'm not going to...

No. You encourage it too. You're winking at me. Yeah, right now. I'm not going to give a full endorsement. I'm just going to leave it. Okay, we've got a really long... But it's a pretty good one from BJ.

And he sets up a long... Hey, Mr. Blazkowicz. He sets up a premise that basically explains that there's things that are remakes, but there are things that shouldn't be called remakes because they're more like retries. Yeah. The same idea.

Yeah. The idea like Metroid Zero Mission, for example, is not exactly... Blah. The other way around. Sorry. Let me just read it. Yeah, just read the fucking thing.

I've been making my way through classics for a while now. I'm a real bad stickler for the true experience of a game or series. For instance, I rejected my friends offer to play MGS3 until I played 1, 2, MGS1, MG1, MG2, blah, blah, blah, blah, and so on in order. Nice. Same thing for Silent Hill and so on. But this doesn't mean that I'm not willing to utilize a remake.

Now, I understand and respect that remakes completely overhaul the original, but I refuse to replay them as a substitute for the original. I don't call these remakes. I call them retries. I would agree with that sentiment. If it's a remake, I want the same level design rebuilt and the same general control scheme

and same general dialogue and story. Metal Gear Solid 1 and Twin Snakes are the perfect example of this. Yes. There you go. It's literally Silicon Knights' attempt at, like, let's make Metal Gear 1. Well, Zero Mission as well. I think it's remake, remaster, and reimagining, right?

And remaster is a good word. Remaster usually just means port. And so he gives some examples and he's like, retries would include... No, because a port implies that, like, there's nothing really going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the port is kind of like the word remake he's using here in terms of, like, HD versions of things.

Winmaker HD, Ocarina, Star Fox 64. I would call it, like, Last of Us Remastered before. Superstar Ultra, Metal Stars, Metroprimed Trilogy. Retries, or remasters, right? Would be Zero Mission, Shattered Memories, Well, that to me is a reimagining, because it's a different... Yeah, it's very different.

Dreamland, Pokemon Alpha, Omega, Shadow Warrior. Well, that's what I would call, like, a reimagining, if I'd used my words, because it's not even the same game. Metroid and Zero Mission. It's not even the same game at all. Now, the question is, what's a good example of one that you should avoid playing... What's a remake you should avoid playing

if the original had a better experience? Wait, HD Collection, Metal Gear Solid. HD Collection, Metal Gear Solid. Yes. Yeah. But that's a remaster. We've established it. I just...

I don't even know if it's within the scope of the question. Yeah. Don't play that. Buy whatever consoles and setups and old gear you need, or track down the Super World... ...as a public service to announce. Is that...

Fuck that. Metal Gear Solid, Twin Snakes. Don't play that. Play the original. Play the original first, then play Twin Snakes. And then complain about it. I don't think Zero Mission is a substitute for Metroid 1. No, they're different.

There's no Mac. Yeah. There's no fucking Mac. They're not a substitute, man. It's a great game, but, you know... I really feel like Zero Mission may as well just be a totally different game. Because its attachment to the original

is so, like, minute. Yeah, yeah. Would you say it's nebulous? No. I don't... I think it's very clear how different it is, in fact. No, I mean, the attachment to the original game is nebulous. Kind of.

Except what they're saying. It's a retake on it. I don't know. There's not that many where I'd be like, No, not at all. They'll... Most of them are fine. And there's some good ones, like,

like, FF 10 and 10-2. Like, that remaster is, like, super on point. It's really good. We got a quick question from Jason. He wants to know... Like, he's like... I got some vagabond questions, Wally, because you know what I'm talking about.

So, what's your favorite character? What's your favorite chapter? I really like the monk, Takawad. He's a fucking badass. Gyaotouji's also super badass as well. And last night, you flipped through the books. Well, no. No, these are the fucking sickest characters.

Okay, yeah. That's it. Done. Not only to remember the chapter number, because I'm like, wow, really? The chapter number I don't fucking remember. Oh, okay. The one with the thing.

But the chapter, the best chapter in the book is the one where he's fighting the guy with the chain and sickle. And then he realized, he looks up at the sky and has a moment where he realizes, I need to use both my swords at the same time. And he takes the stance and invents the image that we all think of when we think of Musashi. The guy holding the two swords,

and there was one really sickle. Is he really like that? Yeah, he used to be pretty one-piece. Yeah, well, sure. Yeah, six swords, eight swords, whatever. Fight the giraffe. How many swords can you fit in your mouth, giraffe? Well, or you can just play Samurai Showdown.

Yeah. Or Samurai Western. Or Samurai Gun. All these are valid options. Or Rising Zan, Samurai Gunman. Yeah. That's such a good name. Last one coming in from, yep.

And he says, about a month ago, I was at an ultra tournament in Rhode Island. And my second match was against a 12-year-old who admitted to me that before the match he hadn't played in four years. Oh, no. I bodied the shit out of him. Oh, yeah, good. Good.

Am I a horrible person for doing so? No. No, I had a tournament. That kid stepped up to get fucked up. You fed him his shit and he deserved it. Furthermore, if you made it to the second round, that kid somehow beat somebody. I feel bad for that guy.

It's fair game. If you went to a boxing tournament and a 12-year-old walked into the ring, you go, well, and he says, I haven't done this in four years. He signed up for it and someone thought it was OK. He knew what he was getting into. So, time to murder this child. It's what everybody thinks when little Max steps in the ring.

Yeah. Oh, it's really bad that I have to murder this little baby. This infant that they put me up against. What is the WBAA thinking? It's not my fault. I'm just the instrument of murder. It's whoever put him into the ring. That's the real murderer.

No, you did good for winning, man. Yeah. What do we have coming up on the site? On the site. On the site of the trial. We've got a PlayStation experience. It's got to go up at some point. At some point.

The PXE is coming up. We're going to fucking... Wait, what part of that is an X? Wait. Yeah. Either the... The X experience. That would be PSE.

It's either part of PlayStation or the beginning of X. No, they're calling it PXX. There's no X in PlayStation. They are calling it PXX because it's the X experience. Yeah, but he said PXE. Oh, that's true. Oh, that's because he's dumb. Yeah, that'll go up at some point.

We're working on it. It's taking a while. We've got more Evil Thin. Evil Thin's back as of last night. It's on my bat. Yeah, we have... We have me and Liam have a really, really quick playthrough. Only two parts.

Yeah, just fucking... Two parts. Two parts. Liam just beasted on Castlevania, so I'll just... Castlevania 1? Castlevania 1 and E.S. He beat it in two parts? Yeah.

Fucking kudos to you. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. It wasn't flawless. It wasn't flawless. And like Matt knows I feel really shitty about some of it. Liam, that game was super hard.

He still beat it in one scene. It's like the Streets of Rage playthrough. I'm like, oh, I did so bad. Does it show? And yeah, it does it. Yeah. No, I don't think so. You'll know you're pulling something up.

I don't think so. And finally, after fucking popular demand, the crime time LP. The crime time LP is starting... Is this popular demand? Yes, yeah. I'm sorry, Josh. Two out of the two of us want to see it happen. They'll start on Saturday, I believe.

And it's not going to be a long one. And it's not going to be a game anyone knows that we're doing. I had a poll not too long ago. Just to gauge interest. But then I just realized, no, we could do this. And it's really high. Yeah, I got some people messaging me. It's like, did you guys just ignore the results of that poll?

And the answer is yes. Yes. That poll is a bad idea. Polls are just a good idea. We're not going to hold ourselves to polls that we had. No. No, sometimes you just got to look at the four choices and go, E-nee-nee-nee, me-nee-nee, me-nee-nee, mine-nee-nee, no.

We just pick one. You just want to know what the ground swells like. So, uh... All your stuff. And yeah, what are you guys watching? What are you watching? I'm going to be watching my PS4 leave my home in a fox. Oh.

I'm going to be watching my PS4 booting up. Oh. I'm probably going to be playing more Far Cry 4 on my PS4. I can't wait to play Captain Toad and Temple of Osiris comes out. Oh, yeah. I'll check that out, too. That'll be fun. Oh, well, I mean, I'll give it a full thing, but I totally bought Karate Master and I'm

planning to fucking bat down the hatches with that one. So we'll see. Karate Master what? The one where you fight the bear. The sickest game ever. Yeah, no. I tried downloading that and I couldn't get the code to fucking work. Oh, yeah.

Your story, Matt, has a great story. And they... Yeah, I bought that right after you guys showed it to me and the code they gave me just doesn't work and I complained and they're like, yeah, we don't know. Oh, that sucks. So I bought that for nothing. Okay, well I'll... Hopefully it works for you.

Yeah. But again, I already bought it and I installed it and it might install work, but I didn't boot. So we'll see. We'll see. Yeah, man. We fucking did it. We did it.

Somehow. That was really intense. We're right on the mark right now. Can we live? I'm really proud of you guys. We live in a new generation of Street Flatter. Yeah. And we live in an era in which anything can happen if you want it hard enough.

But can fight Kratos and it's happening. I was referring to the Yakuza, but the 30th year of my life is starting pretty fucking good. No, you're 20. You're 29. Zero counts as one. Zero counts as one. Yeah.

30th year. You subtracted one. Do your math. You weren't born when you were zero. Do it. Well, you're not going to be very happy when in 10 minutes your dick just falls off. Yeah. Oh, you're not going to be very happy when you're in 10 minutes.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
