Castle Super Beast - SBFC 071: Teri Hatcher is a Kamen Rider

Episode Date: December 16, 2014

Capnews is outta control! Sony Picture's pants are down! Harada is bodying fools on twitter, and clickbait is alive and well.

Yeah, there is there's actually an action early on in the show as well they show you they show me oh yeah as a kid oh yeah yeah it's a rare sighting but it is it doesn't occur like you exactly you're a sighting that I want to welcome everybody to what is apparently apparently one of the best podcasts of 2014 according to whom I tuned and this is two years in a row now this is two years running first year we came on the scene first year we were the newcomers it wasn't a fluke basically and now we're the reigning champions with of not winning yes it's no there's no winners it's only nominees it's a kind of it's a category with nominees only yeah

it's like hey guys this bunch of things it's pretty good so we are a top classic podcast we are a top classic so of course so in thanks for the guy that does all the work our friend MTL what a good guy what a good guy thanks MTL all the credit because I'm cheap but uh no that's nuts I didn't expect that a second time I was like the first year fluke is probably what's going on yeah a huge surge popularity is like a start listening but we didn't think we'd maintain that shit the new podcast category is for that it's so that new guys who are good get recognition because they'll get blown out next year by

the old but for us to come out and blow out the old hats and be the only one from last year's new ones you know that we're the only ones from last one last year's new ones that are you serious yeah new comers of the year again like yeah yeah no but it's just it's most valuable rookie two years in a row Mark McGuire rookie guard okay who wants to see me hit some dingers it's the fucking weirdest thing because uh like whenever a podcast comes out that is like the hitting mainstream success it fucking it blows up everywhere yeah right now the world is talking about cereal yes cereal is everywhere it's everything

it's the new ever when I told my girlfriend about this I was like what you lost to cereal and I was like yes no it's ridiculously huge and I mean obviously we're no Joe Rogan or anything but I wish I was Joe Rogan he's one day will be for Joe Rogan yeah and when you go you go look up like some of the top podcasts you got to listen to from like the verge.com and places like that it's like they've got all the staples that are on there but everyone you expect because no one knows who the fuck we are exactly we're no Gershman no one knows us no one knows us oh god it's weird Jesus on on necklace I like that though I

like being that movie nominee that's cuz you're a fucking hipster no no no no I like when you see it's like and the award for best actor goes to you know like Robert Downey Jr. for whatever whatever did it and all these A-listers and then who yeah who what movie well cuz they throw one foreign movie in there and with the stars just to catch you right and as Canucks we are that foreign podcast master and commander our side of the world but more than anyone thanks to listeners like you know it's listeners like thanks to your ears though yeah yeah it's not even you guys you do all the work ears it's just your ears and

possibly your index finger without those things we'd be nothing yeah yeah oh without without like hundreds of thousands of index fingers and I guess thank you Al Gore for inventing the internet absolutely big shout out no problem guys so I don't know about you guys but I had a pretty busy week lots going on happening um sat sat drum stomachs at some point you ate half a sandwich you know squirted ketchup in my navel don't know where the other half one no um I I I want to I want to like straight up pimp Uber Uber yeah you need to tell everybody the pitch you gave to me because it was amazing because you

told I just told you mind me I told you about the taxi app yeah and then you come into my house just like two nights ago and you're like okay so I got the app fuck that I got over yeah it's no it's straight up and it's just it's on another level because it just started here in Montreal and I know they're trying to shut it down in a couple places and I remember thinking it was not available here and then my friend got in a car and I'm using it and drove on so you know I got this shit and I've been using it to like get to your various houses yeah and no it's just not my comparison like it's literally like

okay you have your GP everyone knows it at this point but it's just it's revolutionary for us here because we have no taxis that take card ever ever so just the idea of getting in one and it's like you already put in your destination you were talking about this we both had separate nearly identical stories yeah in which we got in a cab got to our destination said okay I'm ready to pay guy said no card I said well I guess I'm gone then fucker and he goes no you're you're trying to steal from me you're I'm trying to pay you man yeah and then it becomes the awkward drive to the ATM right which is a

nightmare my version of that story exactly like I've drive up drive up to the ATM to get the money um I've had the fucking shit situations where I get in the cab downtown and the guys like you pay me 20 now and as insurance and then we'll see where we get there it's fine and I'm like what no no no no that's not how this works you have a meter and when you get to my location I'll pay you for that he's like no well you know it's been I have a new have a new system now and I'm like I don't care about your new system I'm not giving you any money also that's against the law it's ridiculous and he ends up going like oh

okay fine and he explains that he's had people run out on him and he doesn't trust kids like me because he doesn't want to have an instance where he go he goes from where I used to live to you know yeah my destination sounds like a side hustle it sounds like that sounds like a problem or you're gonna give me $20 I'm gonna go a block yeah and go out of gas you know and like if that were an isolated incident then that'd be one thing but I've had I've had many stories and you guys might remember them because I fucking rant about yeah I'm I'm whole I'm out late at night trying to catch a cab hold my thumb out cab drivers drive

by dudes or slow down look at me and keep driving why would why would that happen exactly I don't understand yeah I don't want anyone to know be afraid to pick you up in a car too late at night despite that being their job I'm such a lovable lug I don't know my finger on it no one else cuz you killed that guy so fuck all that anyone who doesn't know go find some live-action footage of us and you might be able to figure it out yeah so you open up the uber app the fucking button it's Sarah black eye button no three minutes later why would you what the button do because then because then you could see then you could see like to

less cars show yeah you can see who's on their way to your place to you get a headshot yeah you can see who's coming as well yeah you know that and and most importantly actually really nice because part of the problem is like taxi drivers particularly in my area have become scummy and horrifying it's pretty and putting a headshot to the people at least will help if something bad happen now back up a bit it's it's an alternative to taxis and it's basically hey it's crowdsourcing taxis I'm gonna pay now yeah and then they'll just drive you and my I'm gonna put in the location and you're saying those

like if you're if your destination's like 45 an hour met like a way then the price will be different if for anything under that it's just always the same price every right I've taken has been five bucks cheaper than it usually is with a taxi so it's 20 it's 15 exactly yeah and considering most taxi rides are that it's it's like a 30% and you know when I get on the I know that's 25% but usually it's 1050 and I get out like hey so tip how do I and the guys and they're all just like no no no no cash just give me a five-star rating and that's good enough yeah you know so because then they get prioritized in the system to get

more fair yeah so you know if you do happen to sign up and try this out if you want to get a free ride out of it use woolly M and you'll get a free ride really I suggest you guys try this okay and then your first ride that you take after that I get I take like two cabs a year but I'll try to remember that yeah day you told me about it my fiance was like I really have to go for a an interview down at the hospital down the way and I was like maybe I could try the uber thing for you because we don't want to be late but then she was like I'm too nervous to take a brand new thing for this that makes sense if you have to do

it do it and throw in my woolly M that's the referral and you'll get a free ride and then I get a free ride so that's pretty cool can we just piggyback free rides not forever just the first ride well that's it well depends how many people use this promo code yes exactly you might find yourself but I have well I don't know about that depends how many people listening to this live in Montreal San Fran LA and various countries that's a bunch of countries and their states where it doesn't work and specific cities like Las Vegas says fuck that because Las Vegas is the one by the taxi mafia that while it's run by

the mafia and they're the subdivisions yes Johnny casino they're not happy and taxi you know that's pretty cool um yo that capcom cup though that capcom cup that capcom cup so that was a fun time I went up there a place I can watch this unedited because I've I've saved myself for spoilers dude I'm sure you can go watch there the capcom fighter stream okay and they'll have the archives I'm totally clean okay well I went out I had a nice night with the boys we did the Super Bowl style you know FGC meet up absolutely beer get the chips do the whole thing raw raw raw matches I'm not gonna spoil for you if you haven't seen

them I can't believe the seeds that I was looking at when I saw the brackets Daigo J1 is the first seed but fighting Daigo in the first round isn't as unlikely as you think it's tough but one of the one of the sickest matches was Daigo Xen and Xen got beasted on by Daigo than the last times they fought and this time around he came around with a counter pick he picked Stalsam what what was it evil Ryu Dalsam evil Ryu Dalsam and I want 20 bucks off that match so it was a match gambling is immoral shut up you could never gamble on sports but you can gamble on e-sports you think salty bed is all about it scratches that

it's all for me fake gambling or a salty meebo's now yeah salty bets the best because you do fake gambling if you have people over you can instantly turn it into a real game I'm Liam Nishikin was in it right the only blanket only like a good play and I got my blank a socks on like I was over the other day and Willie Willie took off and showed me his blank a socks and I was like man you're really proud of those but still it was fine check it out and of course we'll get into a bit later until the new real highlight the new trailers for Street Fighter 5 so we'll get there other things I did this week I finished off

Kirby triple deluxe yeah that games last sequel like the game itself is normal Kirby game like I said it uses the 3d really well that was what I last said the last stretch of that game is phenomenal it's super good and it's I say it's up there with like Mennonites revenge and 0-2 like in terms of the other Kirby awesome level bosses like without I don't want to spoil it but it's a it's a whole end sequence of amazing things and I said like one thing to you when I was doing it yeah I think you probably said the same thing no I told him a different thing I think I told Liam was like there's a point where

you go through like the boss butch in every Kirby game where boss they all rush at you yeah yeah yeah well either term and in this case you've got the hypernova power where it's just like oh I'm getting the boss rest that I usually get but I can swallow the world so I'm just eating the boss and it's fucking dead in the next boss drops down dead and then the and then the tree was be woods drops down on you and you have to fight you start you start to up his theme and everything and then you suck him in and then his life bar rips off the fucking hide that sounds you know it's great it's great and then it escalates

from there so I highly recommend it and then you unlock DDD's adventure and then you fucking just race through the game with it like it's great um that sounds I sat down spent some time with karate master to knock who don't know that might be a thing okay I need to be a thing damn it's full of good shit like it's just as dumb as that trailer yeah okay good but the fighting is great okay it's 2d Tekken cool all right all right um yeah it's like hyper technical it's like limbaes limbaes and super accurate to actual karate you know so um yeah I I think I want to do something okay let's see where that goes cuz I was telling

you I downloaded myself and whatever reason the key would not work I could never get it running and I was kind of frustrated there's an update as a patch maybe you need the patch I don't know but um there's that going on I started the Fargo show and that in itself was a fucking ordeal because you're saying how much you love regular Fargo love Fargo and I lost Fargo every day said wooly you I will I absolutely will and I wanted to go watch this show I'm like okay I have money I want to purchase the Fargo show how do I do this internet fuck off Mr. Madden are there options like I go looking around and every service that it

would be available no not in Canada fuck you not in Canada okay how about Amazon video oh here it is yeah attitude not in Canada fuck you not nope not in like the as a last ditch I'm like iTunes maybe and it finally is there and they can so I bought it off of iTunes welcome to the kid welcome back to the Canadian media experience what's the fuck man and then it just it just rings home that thing where you're like look if I have money that I want to give you and you're not letting me give it to you this reminds me where's my fucking this this reminds me there was an article like last week where Sony was tearing

Netflix a new asshole yeah they're like stop VPN customers stop it we only sold you this content for the United States it's like and it's like but the consumer's response is like but you don't sell this content in these regions you can't get yeah breaking bad or whatever the fuck yeah yeah in this region yeah you just can't and people who are willing to pay for it no no it's it's it's obscene it's absolutely absurd I like it's like the most ridiculous contract jiggering ever yeah more so than like I mean I get when you put money into it like I want to spend money even more so it's just like hey SNL did

something really hilarious last night let's go check it out I'm coming watch this one-minute clip yeah you're not good enough to watch this one-minute clip because you're from this country I heard the daily show I heard the daily show the fun guest last night let's go what oh well fuck despite the fact the Daily Show is totally licensed in Canada fucking South Park too that whole website is just no not it's just silly so I see that I'm like fuck you where's my torn I'll torn it twice only only corporations can benefit from globalization mm-hmm right that being said the Fargo show is great good off the

sub box if you are if you enjoyed the movie as much as I do or even a little bit I recommend it well here's the thing it just it's just the Fargo show right we don't know and there's it's full of B-listers it's great I love B-listers it's yeah Billy Bob is in there it's got fucking Dennis from he's a list but everyone else I like it's got Dennis fall down last a bit from always sunny yeah right great you don't got you don't got a calling a you got Colin Hanks instead of Tom Hanks right so why not and you got a like a lot of that going on how many Baldwin's are in it then I gotta know it's it's it's a it's a pretty good show

and then something happens that makes it a great okay interesting you know and you're like and you're like how does this do they all start suddenly speaking English it's got it's got subtitles I know someone that said I stopped watching true detective after episode three because I didn't understand what they're saying they're they're like no I can't I think it was where I can't stand that accent right I love the Fargo accent so to me it just nails it home they toned it down for the show a bit well they would have to but yeah and fucking Bill Bowes in it Watson oh Martin Freeman Martin Freeman yeah nice okay so

yeah it's good stuff and there's there's you're wondering how it does it link to Fargo does it not well there's a thing there okay so I recommend that yes sir I will sell you this wood chipper take care of it here in Brainerd I watched Star Wars original and you hope yeah you did and was it the despecialized no and I because I fucking I didn't realize the hoops dude you didn't there's none I have them all yeah I'm specialized blu-ray no special yes yes huh you got the despecialized yeah cuz that's super impossible mean by despecialized you mean none of the bullshit the end of the bullshit and the despecialized

edition was made as a guy that hacked it out out of laser discs okay no I don't have that yeah because the because I have that the laser disc release was the only release that was not on VHS of some sort of compatible format well the laser disc actually has enough data to be terminated that's what I mean so like it was fucking the dude scene by scene fucking spliced it because and I was watching it and I'd never watched a new hope special edition yeah I just skipped it yeah and I went to so what version were you watching what the fucking special edition oh yes yes no the blu-ray yeah the new there's more in this

you know that it's it's unwatchable it's fucking rude it is unwatchable like so you thought you thought anyone listening to this a lot of people think like oh nerds are complaining no they fuck those movies up I mean and I I'm able to just shrug and laugh at some of the shitty strong troopers riding on creatures yeah the worst is like dancing no that's that's that's not that's not enough a new hope the worst is our duty our 2d2 hiding in an impossible hole in the wall fucking what what got me was watching Han Solo talk to Jabba yeah and it's like this is like oh this is a background CG thing they're interacting

with each other and it's fucking scene though no it's a real but watching it was shiny reboot season one there's two versions of that scene but they redid it they did one where the pass on him was really bad on Jabba I guess that's what I should eat but then I saw another one they were they redid it I don't know for what really no he looked way the moment that it the reality snaps into is because yeah it's behind Jabba and steps on his tail and Harrison Ford just pops up in the air exactly like like two feet yeah yeah like and then just slams down it's so fucking bad in between new hope and like written Jedi it's like two three

years most I think into a original release no I mean I mean chronologically in the movies timeline oh like maybe a year or two so why did Jabba get to find a million feet all anyway and the sarlacc the sarlacc pages yeah I'll never I was gonna say it's cool that scene is cool in the sense that it's old Harrison Ford footage you never saw before since it's sure but you know I just I fucking like I sat through it you know with the girlfriend and I was just like immediately got up and just got despecialized yeah it's it's really that did she think you're and so like she agreed okay a lot of the a lot of the

arguments for this stuff comes from like people that are in their 40s who saw these movies in theaters and went no it's not like how it was when I saw it and that's like a nostalgia argument but we were all born way after and when I saw the special I saw the real versions as a kid on VHS and when the the special versions came out around Christmas I got those for Christmas and even as a child I was like why is Luke screaming when he falls down the hole at the end of Empire Strikes Back you need to look at what they fucked it up and practical effects forever yeah forever and ever unless you're gonna do it like Jurassic

Park and mix both and it works great well but that's fine too because he knows what he's doing you know you know which one is nobody's doing you know which ones to put practically you know which ones to put the one where people are not there you want to get your fucking mind blown I've been looking up you know that ball droid in the new Star Wars trailer yeah you know that's real that's a practical fact that's a real robot that's pretty cool on a string and last little thing in terms of you might like this man I think in the the next vein of Adventure Time being puppy cat style stuff yeah over the garden wall I talked

about this a few podcasts yeah it wasn't it wasn't on yet by the time I was talking about looking forward to I checked it out finally yeah it's right up there it's right in there it's like it's a little more adult yeah you know a little darker it's like a 10 episode mini series that's it it's over now I think I guess I think they're just supposed to be 10 episodes are supposed to be like two a week or something like that but it's fun stuff and yeah if you like those then this is right up there with those yeah man I'm Batsu on the on the Zibatsu blog post there's a shitload about it and all these gifts

when I looked into it I was just Elijah Woods in here and all these cool people and some other voices I recognize Elijah Woods got such a nice voice I can listen to that like an angel yeah Sam why don't you break in my mouth so I'll just jump in there if you're done talking about something that you might then like I finally sat down and watched Birdman you know Birdman the movie Birdman okay fucking go see Birdman yeah a game changer I've heard so Birdman is like a Michael Keaton vehicle where it's he plays Michael Keaton but he's not Michael Keaton he talks about how I paved the way for superhero movies

when I was Birdman back in the 90s and all you shits your Robert Downey juniors in your fucking tin suits it's double meta Bruce Wayne the movie yeah kind of and Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne the movie and there's there's a fucking all-star cast is in that like Edward Norton plays Edward Norton and he starts changing the scenes we need to make this more real let's have sex right now we're on stage you know but it's gonna be real though so it's basically I'm not gonna go much on the plot but yeah it's a broken down like kind of forgotten movie star who whose Michael Keaton writing a play on

Broadway and trying to get accepted trying to do something relevant again and the best thing I can do to compare it is it's an actor superhero like version of the wrestler Michael Mickey Rourke it's like that does will our net star in this movie is a guy with a dumb horse name I also thought of Bojack Horseman don't get me wrong it was really good but the the main thing that you and I'm sure we mentioned before MTL like I saw three cuts in the entire movie wow I noticed three cuts beautiful beautiful because it's all of it is a roving cameraman who just walks backwards and everyone's always in the

shots and there's three times are like that's where the cut was but they're the most obvious that when you see the sky change yeah it's stuff like that but the rest of it I couldn't figure out where they were cutting and I love cutting and anything so when I see someone that's so good that I can't tell me it was like semi-improved or something oh it felt like it there are some there are some scenes and like everyone there's like a ton more actors in it but everyone's great Emma Stone had a small role she kind of played like a shit but she plays a good one too there's there's tons of people in it it was it was long though

it was like the ending was great the ending made me smile like it was one of those little endings where like what's happening I still get them there's just one little moment where I'm like oh that yeah a puppy something like that it was kind of a thing where you could possibly feel good or be I don't I don't understand I'm like the wrestler I will go see that right after this podcast because the times are perfect the other thing I really watched something I've got a lot of hype it's called the Baba Duke and it's this horror movie from the UK that I've heard a lot of people say yeah the Baba Duke the Baba Duke and I

was like what the hell is this are you making shit up UK is that a Howard Stern monster it's not it's just for a monster in a kids story book it's about this mother this UK mother is down her luck her husband died and she has this really you know temperamental hyperactive kid and she's just like oh why do you have to be so weird and like nobody likes my kid and I have no husband she's really down on her luck and she's really stressed and it goes into like sleep deprivation she can't sleep and she starts it's one of those horror movies that's like nothing really scary happens for the longest time and it's just

sense of dread and like like stress and then she finds this book that just appears in her child's house called the Baba Duke and the kid gets scared at everything so I just gonna talk about this one scene where they open up the book and it's got kind of a Tim Burton-ish art style she goes oh Mr. Baba Duke comes to knock at your door the door goes Baba Baba Duke like the knocking sound effect Baba Baba Duke and the kids like okay there's a little pull-out some little pop-ups and it goes Mr. Baba Duke watches you while you sleep and she's like mmm and the kids like okay and then Mr. Baba Duke it's a

scariest motherfucker ever Mr. Baba Duke says you're going to die and the kids and it cuts and the kids like can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't leave me she burns the book the book comes back then Mr. Baba Duke show and it just yeah nothing in there when the creature appears it's that old cabinet of Dr. Caligiri 1920s 30s type of scary shit where it looks like it's stop-motion animation fucking things in real life that have a lower frame rate than you video what's the scariest part in the evil within it crank has a bad frame

rate well no it's it's like video artifacting of your monster in film the idea of like that's the whole premise behind the ring girl is she appears like like TV distortion and like stop-motion flicker like all this shit you're like no things don't act like this in the real world and if it's it's an inconsistent frame rate then it's like it's not moving that's cuz it's right in front of you yeah so it was really good but it was kind of one of those buffering goes it's kind of one of those weird endings where it's it felt a lot like the evil within where it's like oh well that happened so it was still pretty good

overall but the last thing is that I mentioned before we started recording I didn't get a lot of sleep last night because it just stressed out because we finally got an email saying wedding is good we got a contract to sign with all the things we wanted to change okay or something like you know the Canadian government has allowed you to marry yeah well it's hard to get it's hard to get that permit yeah so the boss battle is on its final life bar not really it's still a year away and there's still the actual planning of it yeah it's all set in the place guys now it's up to us to figure out how to ruin the sweating yeah

it's up to you I'll be interested to see if we just stop his letter open bar right yes done and done if we just stop his letter of request from getting to the governor general the Queen can never stamp it it's true so it's over the other thing is that for whatever reason last night and it's prevalent to the news we'll talk about today I just started playing don't make right three again for whatever reason and then I was just like ah yes it's really good and then my fiance doesn't like original devil may cry she likes DMC most women do thing you're they all like DMC Dante more than regular Dante I'm not sure you know I can

see that no problem yeah I've we've argued this violently in the past your yes we're involved I was there yeah so that's fine before you knew her keep words were thrown we're slugging it out she's like look I understand it's a better game but look at this dude and I'm like yeah okay for a fair enough and then for whatever reason I you know what I'll pop in Dante's inferno yeah so the with the thing about done is inferno as I played it I beat it and I forgot about it yeah but again fiance did a lot of thesis statements in school and and college about Greek and Italian figures in history right so I'm not sure you

remember but does inferno you go around there's these bodies that need to be either absolved or punished you could choose with their own historical peoples no they're not well they are in the sense that they use the name and then my fiance goes what a bunch of fucking bullshit this person never did this because it visceral all they did was took the name and just made up their crime so she's like but Dante already made up no what was the guy who wrote it Machiavelli he wrote it like people were in there in the book and he was like slamming them partly political satire because they kicked him out of Venice

was already bullshit so in the game they're like a lecture like a lecture killed her mom to revenge her dad and she goes a lecture's dad was agnomenon agnomenon and it's like she nobody killed her at all in history no it says like what the fuck is this game so I had fun going through it and us like finding new layers of why Dante's inferno is not great that I previously didn't know on a lore base that was actually kind of fun going through it again and I'm just like oh look at this guy what do you do it's like oh he like you know destroyed his entire family because he was mad that he tripped on something I'm gonna

keep that in mind for ready wedding ruining 2015 event the other thing I forgot about that game just really quickly is that when you absolve someone shitty mini-game where the button prompts come down over across and you have to time it it was if you punish a guy you just kill him that's fine if you absolve a guy you have to wait for like the Y button the B button to get on either side of a cross and they knew it was bad because later on the game you get a relative that says don't get have that happen skip it skip it if you have a feature like that that you know it's bad it's like every God of War game

changed the chest opening mechanic like every single God of War game but none of them used to be mashed or one in the first game and then the second one it was hold it and in the third one it was like mashed circle and then eventually became a whole circle I sentions like what stand up in the PlayStation I and like raise your arm Donald's Donald's chest open as it for me maybe they'll fix it in definitive edition I still love the idea of Dante's yeah that is going through conceptually it's cool it's cooler than then God of War I remember how fucking confusing that was when that game came out and the first thing in

the story is that Dante was a Templar and that happened right when brotherhood came out and the story was that Dante was an assassin fighting yeah weirdest cross-section of multiple series ever but nothing nothing turned me off more than just seeing him stitching his cross into his body actors really good cross-body thing is alright but his face his face is not his design upsets me it's so it's so bad it's so drawn to death yeah cool guy from the that's the other part we're looking at the the that character art and we saw that pre-character art of the Cleopatra lust boss and her design do you

remember this was that the one that was just like not safe for life yes okay yeah there was that one then in the game they just tone it down so she's just a topless woman and that's it the spiders come out of her boobs or whatever and it was really lame and when you play that game I can see the concept artists that I really like and I can see where his designs are like that first boss that's the crown for the head that guy's that guy's really cool the gluttony boss is that really that guy but every other enemy you can tell it's visceral because there's either babies with razor blades for arms or guys with horns that is the

video game developers like horns right yeah anyway I didn't have a very exciting week what'd you do I played a lot of smash smash became my junk food of life on board we'll hop online play some smash where she can do here's here's how I want to know what level of junk food we're talking here did you even pop it on the TV or did you just grab the I I always hate the game I hate the game I actively hate the game that's all I always I always like go on to the pro controller but like every in-between match I'm just sitting there on Neo Gap so sure and I I'm still working away at Balder's Gate but I stalled a little

bit because I'm doing the super fucked hard challenge area and it's hard fucking hard it's fucking hard that's pretty much all I did my fucking way I caught up on adventure time dude season six is awesome but those the seasons are twice as long now yeah what there's that much I didn't even know there's so much they doubled it up because it's still the double episode format but now it's season now it's the episode called is that you is the best time paradox thing I've ever seen in my life the entire episode is a gigantic time paradox it just keeps building on shark jump yet no all right

that because there was no war for the first two seasons and no but then the first four seasons became war yeah eventually there was a giant lore bomb that dropped it yeah it's called the nuclear lich bomb and then you fucking go okay now this is all like really like I feel I feel like season six is gearing up to them having to get like a new villain because there hasn't been a villain for like two seasons like ever since the lich stopping a villain but what are the thing does that have no more then have more well it's like I don't know reboot yeah we still have lore it's not rules I think I think I think

the soul series it didn't become like a story until season three yeah it's like that you had two seasons of like a wacky goofy adventures adventure time and then like season three is doing like incredibly like violently specific callbacks oh yeah and then season four is referencing background elements of season three episodes and then I think it was season five where you start time traveling to other dimensions of what if no no various episodes that was the last half of season three but then but then no but then you get to like the first movie and then you start seeing like how everyone yes but yes I love that

though I love when um the show has nothing going on like that drops hints at it well the eventually becomes something important like the best episodes of Futurama are the ones about fry being the chosen one yeah in my opinion like and there's so much downtime in between them like you like you great like you get too much in you have adventure time you have astoundingly long arcs where you go princess bubblegum is a princess made out of bubblegum to a super genius yeah to a fascist dictator crazy yeah yeah to a super villain to reform but it's all background elements okay like no one's ever hey princess bubblegum

you're evil yeah right it's all just a little bits and pieces it's nuts it's nuts but yeah no I wasted my week I didn't I did a bunch of stuff I finished okay so I'm talking about anime hasn't happened in a while what shows are starting to end now yeah so I finished chica coffin princess which ended like really early is that the one where she's dragging the coffin yeah exactly so every cool anime holy shit the second season just with the gravediggers no no that's different one okay so the second season is like oh my god where'd your budget go cuz like why the latter half of the season characters are

melting on screen this is this is not a good look like Sailor Moon melting pretty bad pretty bad and like the whole show just feels rushed in the latter half it's ridiculous as they just charge towards the ending of like oh I can't I can't spoil it whatever but like the last episode is the most like contrived stupid rush thing like before last episode right at the end the big bad is there and he's like now we fight now it's big bad fight time and then big bad runs away at the beginning of the episode and then like character evolution character evolution that character evolution was worthless

deus ex machina guys dad it's over in 23 minutes and it's like it's like there were two episodes missing you know it should have been a movie well it should have been episode 12 that it ended at not 10 but I guess it was budget there's just one trope in that show that I like I have to talk about cuz I don't I can't think of another thing that does it but I'm sure there's tons that do it it is a terrible writing thing where they have a character who's too strong this character is just immortal and whatever and it's this dragon right yeah and it happens multiple times in the show where everybody gets in the room to fight the

bad guy the dragon is immediately violently massacred and killed on the floor because it's too strong to participate in that fight yeah and then it just revives itself after the fight I can't think of anything where that happened but I I can see it's the party member that's to be so no they got kicked outside the airlock exactly the portion of the spike arm strong durian Ken patchy all of those guys she's too strong so they poison her or stun her or chop her into little bits sure and she just comes back after but she has to not participate and maybe you shouldn't have put that fucking care it's like

seriously a writing issue the only way to make that work or one of the best ways to make that work is to do it like Helsing does Alucard is just like I'm gonna use my full power because you finally showed me that you can actually match it yeah and I've got a contract with this it's like you have a thing where it's like there's a blocker in place but the whole time I have the confidence to know that I can end the show yeah any minute now exactly we're going 13 episodes because you're stringing me along but really it can be done right now and in this case where it's like a secondary character they

can't have the secondary character hog the limelight yeah it's like yeah okay I'd show that's like that shows super mediocre it wrapped up like I like the first season and where it was going at least at least if it was something like sword art which jumps between okay and horrible like you could have more fun with it yeah mediocre like I like the first season and like the second season's alright but it's it's nothing special by the end of the and it's a super shame because like I like the first season sounds like anime I played two really short games this week one of which is longer than I was told first

one was Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris finished that game like a hundred percent it's super short but it's just as good as the previous one that said it is not different from the previous one it's you know the most different thing about it the those glowing like little orbs of light around the moving spheres right that was like them going oh yeah did you play co-op or a solo I played it all the way through solo it was quite short but I hear the dungeons are more or less different and to a certain degree when you're playing co-op I heard basically they scale for each group of players yeah exactly so your mileage will

vary they'll add more elements to appropriate the more having more players yeah so you're also just more fun sure so I had a lot of fun with it I'm not saying enough fun it was a great game even solo like really really just like because the Temple of Light exists like that's a little bit of thunder stolen from this one just because it's just not as new if you haven't played the Guardian of Light if you haven't played Guardian of Light absolutely play this one because it's better than Guardian of Light I was but it doesn't really evolve okay well I was looking for I was never super I really wanted this game to be the

exact same game as the last time that's what you're getting good but you're getting Saturday morning Lara Croft with Totec and his little buddy yeah it's a whole team now okay fuck it but it's good nonetheless though if the game of the year awards whatever they had game of the year and then they had solid game of the year this would be a candidate for solid game of the year up there with Wolfenstein and Shadow of Mordor or you could call it the most good-ass game the most good-ass game of the year that's a good-ass game right there two raiders in the running for most good-ass game in the year two raiders though and it

happens for Temple of Osiris and Guardian of Light is that will we kind of nail that we're like Lara Croft in both games super serious and just like as she always is yeah but everyone else is fucking banana clown shoes and like Darkwing Duck voice acting the voice acting is actually so bad for some of those like the gods and whoever that actually detracts like because they talk so often like the isis or whoever and at Temple of Osiris just like you must go to the thing she's a big make-up your devoid of personality and like the bosses and the bad guys have almost too much and the stuff they're like

exactly like those are the kinds of things that prevent it from being like perfect solutions were like the actual game players they're all great my actual solutions is have them speak in their native languages and just have subtitles or just have your way less way like that game doesn't even need voices like you can get by on on on speech balls our banjo-kazooie grunts yeah I would some prefer they have that I would love it if they were more like the Prince of Persia and Farrah and they have a back-and-forth and that be the main like string string and rat and have the gods try mean occasionally

because the gods are just not interested okay well I like complaining with the Carter yeah could protect her I think I think I think most of the dialogues pretty throwaway but I don't resent it like it's fine ways for it to be better for sure and the other game I played is Captain Toad which is longer than advertise really it's yeah longer than 10 well drop the fucking drop the nuclear bomb that you dropped on so so you finish Captain Toad and then you go back to the main menu and it's like you've unlocked Captain Toad treasure tracker 2 and then you finish and then you finish Captain Toad treasure tracker

2 and it's like you've unlocked Captain Toad treasure tracker 3 and their new maps okay okay I had no idea about but if you go into the extra section I got a little pop-up that was like the Super Mario 3d world save data detected you've unlocked bits from the Prixie world or whatever the fuck it's called and there's just 3d world levels rejiggered so that Captain Toad can walk through them since he can't jump yeah and there's just giant 3d world levels that you can just do Captain Toad stuff in oh cool and it's like yeah there's a lot of content in that game it's what it's good sorry nothing never mind it's good it's cool

good video game again like super super solid game yeah good positive or is it we're saying it's very easy it's the for babies it's for babies spin-off ever in the sense that it's an actual spin-off yeah like it's for reals he's the most spinniest office it's like Joey playing through those 3d world stages so that you can find out what life is like without jokes yeah it's really heavy yeah it's super it's full of adventure yeah I guess basically I games really good though I completely forgot something I did this week that I did want to talk about because it was too early in the week and I forgot about it that's dangerous

I got my ps2 back from Matt and I thought I could say I got my ps4 back no I got I got my ps2 back from Matt we arranged for that to be gone for at least another because I had this moment where I realized I can't remember everything about the Silent Hill games I can't like really you probably are the most like this where there are games that you played in your youth that you know every goddamn thing about everything you can play it in your brain sure right and I was thinking about Silent Hill 2 and 3 and I realized I can't I can't anymore it's gone there are huge portions that are gone so we played

most of the way through Silent Hill 2 in like two days holy shit survival horror games are terrible yeah because this one is still the best by a huge margin way way better like it's not even like like this is a classic this is one of the greatest games of all time and I'm playing it I'm like nothing has topped it in this in this in this in this in this okay the writing the music and it especially especially when I played downpour and homecoming with Matt I was not fresh well you sorry when you played it I don't say that that's not a big accomplishment I was not fresh off the classics fuck you ordered that in a way

that implied it didn't hold up but no the opposite no the problem is that the genre got worse like this was the shine this in Silent Hill 3 are the shining stars and then nothing ever came close to them ever again we're going to survive because it's different it doesn't try to be the original like lone survivor is like the only one that comes close and it's still like not not even there it's not like it was embarrassing and part of this had this moment where I did a crazy thing where I was playing with my ps2 controller which I had washed like four times after taking out of storage was this the new one that you bought for

like a million dollars no no this is the normal one that I had since I bought a new ps2 back in 2008 no it's the rubber on the analog sticks was off slightly it was just a little bit off so I washed it in in my sink very carefully and then I did it again and I did it again and then I did it again takes a few times and I played and I was like it's not it's not so then I had Liam go to a store for me and buy me a generic controller it doesn't quite so then I bought like like two brand new ps2 controllers for like a hundred and thirty dollars from Hong Kong this is the sound of mania you're hearing mania now so then I'm gonna have

brand new brand new sealed Hong Kong ps2 controllers that the rubber will feel it'll feel good it'll watch out because they might be Japanese PlayStation controllers that are a little bit different feeling well that's fine as long as their official as well as a level of change you can't as long as they're also really tried to steal a game off my shelf last night what was I stealing it or was I giving it a rightful mother fucker walks up to my game shelf my bookshelf and sees I'm just gonna I'm just gonna take this here's how this one alright here's how this one he went off to the bathroom came that and I'm

like I'm looking at his bookshelf I'm like oh oh you hate persona q so much that you bought it did you and then I say wait look what's on that package the plastic wrap but look what I have right here the sealed deck of tarot card that came with it and I said I'm happy for you I'm taking this I said no this is mine now no you don't even care you don't want it it's mine to open play and then throw away okay I will make your life better by taking it and then and then you know I'll take all play it is like I will I will play and beat the game out of fucking spy just so you can't okay you want to play it you buy it sealed it's

gonna stay still forever maybe not I don't know I got tarot cards it's all that matters and I'm never gonna open those tarot cards I know the never well selling me that I bought the European version of the mirror of fate Castle Vayner for the 3ds and that remains sealed because it came with the three awesome posters oh yeah Simon and Trevor and those look awesome and that I I think I threw the game out just placing where I'm the garbage yeah the posters sweet it doesn't belong in the garbage I'm sorry I'm just remembering on when our friend talked about like rage quitting where he's playing a PS2 and

he just got so mad at it but he's not the kind of guy that'll scream so he just powered it down unplugged it and neatly placed it in the garbage bin and left it there for half an hour just and that was just a rage quit yeah just your phone it was your phone I don't remember why it was but there was some reason that I threw the garbage and we all just sat there and let it be including woolly it was appropriate I don't remember why I don't remember what I must have read something on it and you're like there was something on something that's why it would be funny something on its screen that required immediate disposal

yeah was it all the break I think it was in the garbage no no no exactly this fucking week I picked up a fucking mirror of fate because I was looking through my 3ds games and I was a bit bummed that like there haven't been a lot lately that I've been interested in like I don't really want to play Pokemon I don't want to play persona queues so I know I'm kind of blocking myself I know I didn't okay I was just looking over my library and I was like oh I love revelations I played revelations oh yes is good mercs 3d yes is good Castlevania oh I remember enjoying this when it came out oh my god this game so bad way worse than I

remember mirror fate I'm so glad that other people are catching up to my initial impressions of that game I fucking hate that game I was so like blinded by how much how much I dislike Mercury steams console games that I was like yeah mirror fate is at least to me it's sad to hear that because when I saw the trailer for it I was like oh this is cool yes yeah they're doing the cool thing like the one that there's two good things in that game and that's the quality of the graphics on the 3ds really high and the 3d in some areas is stellar it's fantastic looking okay the rest of the game just not I think the

store is pretty good though I like I never finished it okay I finished it yeah I don't I don't know how much there's not much going on there the voice acting is not good the animatics aren't nice like it's before we roll into real news let's take a quick word from our sponsors fuck it we're gonna start on that one right now Liam you just drop some knowledge so if you are a loot crate subscriber ever have been or if you want to eventually eventually given enough time and loot crates you will be able to build an infinitely large box fort it is as big as you can dream as long as you've got the time and the

nothing is doing romance I had no internet but that was rest the Swiss shelly I had one of the best bubble baths I've ever had I bet wow were there candles there were so many I can't even remember how many candles there were there were so many hazardous levels of candles dangerous fire alarm levels getting hot in here no no it's really getting hot in here as a good time I just got back like fucking 20 minutes before the podcast so right now you're nice and relaxed pretty up there and I was looking at the news as I got over the border and I was like and I was like this isn't the real life like I left for a

weekend and this happened news this week is good time to tense up motherfucker we're sort of instituting the two-minute rule all right now we're not everyone seemed to hate it even though I thought everyone I thought it was a lot of it's massive we got mixed mixed like this like and by thought and by massive I mean five people on each side yeah let's be real I liked it my friends that listen to this podcast told me it was cool yeah that's one friend there you don't have one friend that listens to this fuck I need to get better no you don't I got better we're in it man as far as you know I guess you don't

know what I talk loud and a lot so I guess it'd be really hard to edit me voice modulated so it's just for woolly's talking for all you fuck tell me start the news what happened this week those are not Paris no no those are not Paris they might not be the only one rewind the Street Fighter 5 extended cut trailer the hot cut hot cuts and live in the hotter than the match certainly man the game is in production and the first time we saw for it looked rougher it looked way rougher than the video in the rough floor didn't video didn't exist at that time about about one minute of footage of the rough ass

Street Fighter 4 came out and it was fucking rough I just remember it was screenshots there was the one-up video that for me it's the moment in my head where Ken does a hurricane kick exactly just looks like and then there's the footage that came later of a match where you see Abel do breathless yeah and he doesn't do the combo on you he just does like eight kicks in a row yeah I like the kicks but well it's the same repeating animation but the charm though isn't it kicks get more intense each time it's good but anyway so this time around we've got a whole bunch of new features that we're seeing here a lot

of mechanics going on right off the bat and I and you know that not all of these are gonna make it into the final cut no but they're playing around they're right this is a dramatic system overhaul so the trailer that we saw initially like they you know we talked about what we saw there we saw guard break and it's the most obvious now and here and now we can talk about stuff that we're seeing because we had a HUD to look at yeah so one revenge meter is back you're looking at the HUD and you just like other stuff everywhere yeah a lot of people and it's funny because the guys I was with they were all like what the

fuck is revenge I'm like it's that's that's that's all you remember what I said that like yeah the Metro one time and we were both like and your fucking focus attack was called a saving strike so yeah no that was revenge meter and every time you heard a little yeah it was one of it any bar there are multiple bars filling it up right so you had different ex bars yeah John has three which is interesting because it would mean that you fill up faster but you have less it in to me that implies you're gonna be picking your supers third strike yeah right and and and more than your supers it won't just be your super it'll be

your your element mode I guess I'm gonna gamble on isms rather than that or something like that as a personal side I would love to see it just be called super arts again because that's still yeah I like that because the best on clip in Street Fighter to me the coolest one is select your super art and now that there's ink it's literally it's literally yeah so EX yellowness is gone replaced entirely by ink effects the probably the biggest thing is that it doesn't appear that there's a guard break meter or universal guard break yeah it just appears that reuse fireballs in that special mode cause guard break now

here's the thing well for starters there's been games where the guard break meter exists but is invisible right and your life bar starts but the reason I say that is because the only time that ever happens is when Ryu hits a fireball in that electricity mode yeah and it happens every time he hits a fireball in that electric now here's the thing about that mode you know how it's his normal Hadoken is yeah hits yeah that's when you're close yeah when you're far it does less hits interesting so it's a distance thing going on too right um you you see a point where it looks like Chun-Li Paris two or three attacks but it

might just be special fancy block animation it's just a fend you know or remember that dumb thing Shenlong was gonna have when he did a fire PD episode how he wouldn't have blocking like his block would be dodgy yeah but we saw Chun-Li do normal blocks and that feature was used in the GameCube Naruto game where Shikimaru dodges instead of blocking and it looks great ah normals do chip damage yeah this is this is wild that's crazy you see that one bit in the match where I remember who was who but when Chun took what seemed to be enough chip damage to die and she took two fireballs straight in the face at zero

life yeah yeah so it's like we got we got chip on normals but you have to hit the last hit doesn't kill yeah which is a cool change that's interesting yeah that's interesting I don't know if I like it but it's again that seems all stuff that might completely get removed yeah this could all change yeah and then they're going you got fucking Udon head going on or you knock the person into a special condition there's gonna be tons of those I thought I was gonna fall off on the first knock down and she gets back up and it's still gonna be every single stage if she gets knocked at like if anyone gets any that's it should go

way after one knock down I think so too but it depends if it's like mud or like snow that's gonna look what if they're lit on fire and they're just they have a light a lit on fire bird or no they're the closer and and Capcom did clarify why there's the player one player two thing and it's because if you knock somebody through a stage on a KO you can switch sides in the next round so it like because if you watch the match I think with combo fiend and who was it my cross my cross like after after Ryu supers Chunners through the wall they start on the opposite player one player two sides so if you were having some

similar colors and a mirror match like that would actually be really confusing and that's why player one and player two are there that makes sense okay okay that's cool yeah that makes sense makes sense but there's so much going on that like you shouldn't speculate you know like like we saw we saw combo fiend do the Chunli super arc 3 yeah went up got the knock down went for the OTG missed missed twice missed clean like so it might be like a one-frame link you know it might be a thing where it's like you can get an OTG if your timing is perfect combo fiend might just be a fraud he wants me but I and I'm okay with

the big fucking talk I'm okay with the idea of an OTG existing but it's only if you really that are certainly difficult yeah because what happens is you hit the guy while he's on the ground and that keeps the stun meter high yeah so you get back up there's so much value to it exactly there's you can use that to continue your okey so it's like that's a cool thing I would like to see a character that has four EX meters of course yeah but at me and doesn't have a super talk about this briefly and we were both like this is so obviously after third strike oh yeah in the time like this is so obvious oh yeah like all

of Ryu's moves ever the way everyone the way everything looks and just like his filthy-ass G he's doing left-handed sure you can he's slow and beefy in like all his attacks are really slow and do tons of damage also with lean screen so I was talking to someone is that Charlie Charlie's little diamond his head is the Illuminati thing kills the other luminati's also Charlie's and also don't you fucking say it it's not Charlie fucking it's shadow it is shadow so remember I think on the last podcast I talked about so the only real Ken and death is Charlie and Capcom quick to show me that no there is no Ken and no one

will ever die except for Karen you know what I actually have just a beef with this because when you throw out all the rules it falls apart it's a fighting game though it's a fighting game sure but like what I care more about playable Charlie than I do about Street Fighter story I'm glad I have a consistent story they'll bullshit a reason for it to be consistent I think it's Robo Charlie it's shadow it's I think it's I don't know what that is I think it's Robo Charlie shadow on comic and he was a secret character in like one of the alpha games I think in the hyper games it's like it's shadow it's my control

brainwash Charlie the fact that he has the little diamond or it could just be Illuminati Resurrection a joke that I just completely stole from Max thank you fucking owner oh no comes out wearing the black dress and everything shittiest cosplay I've ever seen like I said on Twitter I can't wait for Charlie's dad to be announced playable because you made that joke and I want that be fucking super I hope he wears that like his new go-to for every of us who's death inspires another character then what's that I want I want I want I want to go Rio what's this fucking in

go he beaky go he be I want him to come in and like his intro like Dan is in the fight and then the the entrance is just get the fuck out of here Dan I got this imagine if they brought gulking back how well that's why I was gonna say I imagine they brought again back how stupid that's why I'd love there to be like story memory battles so that you can make the character and have them in the versus mode but they exist in the story is a kuma not threatening no I always liked it in concept and name I always love like if you have to bring character back you bring them back by putting nightmare in front of nightmare

geese you put nightmare Charlie that's awesome yeah honestly ever since watching me fucking nightmare Charlie ever since Charlie was revealed to be the strongest character and flash kicking a cliffside in half and you're okay in my book motherfucker so resolve justice bison only bless you because he gangs up with his fucking crew we're gonna be kicking sonic booms in Street Fighter 5 that being said going back it's like yeah those trailers are awesome but I watched the actual match for me it's cuz they just don't know you know how to play I think that's there I'm sure that's their first time

touching it to I absolutely I also I also think it's a thing of combo really wanted to show that noodle thing and they fucked it up in the first match and like they were trying to show stuff and like the coordination probably well you can see them just see the moments of hesitation while they're fighting for sure trying to like fake a match you had now you had my cross doing like repeated sure you can in the corner to blocks done and everyone's going what the fuck is he doing yeah like combo Phoenix waiting for the ultra to come out so he can block is so we can lower the guard so that yeah that's what was

fucking happening also it's really awkward to watch something where the commentators don't know what to say yeah I don't expect them to know so there's nothing that can be done about it but when they're like what is that they really like when they thought that was really amusing yeah I really liked when whatever they went into that mode there's no other thing to say like oh he popped the trigger yeah yeah I guess and they don't know what to say it was like cute but at the same time it's like it doesn't help a viewer like understand it's not crunching forward into ultra that's nuts that's something that's

fucking yes yeah and but it's only in that ism perhaps perhaps yeah dude I really hope it's isms but the idea of ism I hope I hope it's isms but it's called super arts and it selected like super art but it's just super arts have wider effects than just your super yeah like Ryu is you picked Denjin Hadoken right so then his his special state has denjin stuff yeah yeah you know that changes is their special moves but it doesn't change their x-ray or their fatality or anything yeah yeah that'd be fun so yeah that's that's what's going on there it looks really good it looks

really really good it's here's what it is it's far along for the earliest prototype we've seen of it yeah definitely and I when I was when my brain said 2018 I was like they're not gonna be anywhere near where they are now for at least a year yeah so I hope it's been in the works for a bit oh no it's been a liar at least and fucking leave you remember when we were walking away saying what if Sony just injects money into Street Fighter and they fucking did it fucking happens hundred thousand dollars for the for the like total Capcom Cup yeah that's 10 times right it's up from 50 years up from 50

so 10 times Sony wants to fight games what they're taking Sony's taking it taking them by force they literally just took the center stage game at every fighting event and have it exclusively on their plan they're giving away half a million dollars so that you care no and then they're getting the next center stage game exclusive right we're still on four right oh yeah it's like right now you can start playing these on attorneys yeah I don't agree but it's like I hope like 20 characters five DLC and that's it like I don't want to smaller raster loaded roster again I think we're gonna end up with that over

time I think I think you're gonna get the most bloated ass roster ever I want to start that way and then evolve as the game that that's that's more or less fine because you know what like as much as people that didn't actually keep up with Street Fighter complained for some of those iterations for people that kept playing it was hot shit something to look forward to every year that being said with with like the change it like if if there's an ism or fucking whatever super art system in this game characters will come more slowly than they did for four you'll still get bloat you'll still get lots yeah but more slowly because

there's more variants of one character we were talking about Mortal Kombat X how they basically double the roster triple whatever it's like think about third strike even though it's just super arts like there are two versions of Urian that I won't be caught fucking dead playing right there's one version of Q that I fucking hate yeah I like the other two versions and like the two versions of Q might as well be two different changes your game plan so fundamental like fucking Ganesh in yeah it's different yeah any other or or not super art to chun so yeah good times there man fucking just

strong-arming fighting games that they're gonna do it man and you know who like while we're gonna go more from Capcom no we're gonna go more from Sony Sony okay while they're strong arming the fighting games people are sneaking out the back and fucking grabbing emails and catching them with their pants well this is a picture of course yeah now pretty bad and I don't really care for anything except for two of these why do we have to keep making Adam Taylor movies said everyone at Sony picture you think Obama liked Django you know whatever like most importantly I'd say one there's a Mario Brothers movie that

might be on the table or might not now we don't know you know deals were being made I'll tell you exactly how that went down they straight up went in there and went hey Nintendo remember Wreck-It Ralph we can make that all about you I think it's partially that and I just personal bet I think it's also because me and what has been saying you really like doing the Pikmin shorts he said he really liked doing that and this guy's got clout that me a moto guy yeah you can get things done the problem is that this deal was brokered by Avi Arad who's still working on that Metal Gear movie any year now. Isn't Avi Arad doing pack

plan on the ghostly adventures? Yeah, Avi Arad takes on like 12 projects at a time and completes one with a channel you know that's the other big piece of news is like Sony was actually talking to Marvel about a Spider-Man crossover just giving them Spider-Man. Well no that's not what it was gonna be at all it was gonna be you guys take Spider-Man and make the good movie because we don't know how. That's what I mean. But we get to take the money and we'll get some of the profits and we're gonna continue to have the rights and nothing about the deal changes we distribute we probably do everything but you just do the fucking

footwork for us. Because you can make movies better than we can. At the end of the day it's like as a business I could see them going no fuck you but me if I was like on there I'd be like yeah I'd rather get a fucking take. And probably the funniest thing about all these emails is like nobody wants Garfield yeah like everyone's like no fuck Garfield and fuck his romance Spider-Man movies. Remember that stat that I read the other week where it's Spider-Man fight like in terms of dollars is like more popular than the next five superheroes combined like so that would even though it sounds like an asshole deal it's like that's actually

like not a bad deal for them. At the end of Avengers 2 oh no the heroes are all getting fucking worked and who's gonna say oh my god Spider-Man's beating up Ultron. Exactly. It's the idea of Civil War is happening we might lend you guys Spider-Man for that like comic book people are screaming. Spider-Man was a centerpiece of Civil War so to have the Civil War story. He's number three I don't even read comics and I know that it goes Robert Downey Jr. Captain America and I fucked that up. And Spider-Man he has to take the mask off and unveil himself publicly for shit to get started. And if I don't see and if I don't

see Tobii McGuire in that movie we got a problem. Well you then everyone has a problem because fuck Tobii McGuire or Spider-Man Evo. Like who the fuck are you gonna replace him with? Daredevil? Daredevil it reveals that he's Matt and no one cares. And also no shit. And then Punisher. Oh no Frank Castle is the Punisher. What did you take off a hat like? Take off his shirt. That tattoo on his chest. I know that tattoo. That's a good groucho Mark's mask. I just take it off. Yeah that was me. There was one other thing I saw, one of those Sony emails. They were going to sue Bill Murray if he's not in Ghostbusters 3. They had some planned Destiny, planned to screw him over

and force him to be in Ghostbusters 3. Damn Sony Pictures. Did you do that? Apparently you did. So probably the biggest, like a lot of people are utterly shocked by the Sony Pictures thing. Dude Hollywood is fucked. It is. Hollywood's the worst. This is just a peak. This hacker group also promised that this Christmas they're gonna unload like a fucking huge bomb. Apparently this Christmas. Here's everyone's Naked Pictures. Everyone. Somehow they were on the Sony servers. Some of these people didn't even take Naked Pictures of themselves. Well they're just good shops. I've gone to YouTube and the first video they're pushing at me is Universal Pictures presents Anna Jolina Jolie's excuse for why she's not showing up to this next event. There's a guy's I have chicken pox.

It's not because of anything else. Despite the fact that these leaks are insulting me and making fun of me and shit. It's not that I'm mad at them or anything. I'm just sick so I'm not showing up. Why is this on YouTube's front page? Because that's how bad this leak was. This Sony boss, the one that made those comments about Obama, she also talked shit about Leonardo DiCaprio and Angelina Jolie and I think I sent you a link that's just like all these other sites where she's done. She's sacked. Like maybe one she'd get away with. All of these. Kaz, her eye. It's time for you to get a bat and go down to that office and start wrecking shit. I can tell you firsthand. The movie business is as fake as it appears to be.

It's all smiles, fake as shit. Everyone that you meet on the set is the nicest guy ever. You can't believe how much we've heard about him. As they sharpen the knife. So when shit like this happens, fucking yeah. Unfortunately it's also like that for a lot of AAA development. I don't know. I think Square Enix is the nicest man in the world next to any movie company in the world. We happen to know for a fact that Gabe Newell is always sharpening the knife with his fucking psycho knife collection. He's got like 800 fucking knives in his office. I think it's like if you try to quit Val if he just shows you that.

Hey, hey, what? What? No, we haven't really closed you in real close. We'll make a news apartment for you. I'm gonna make you have to run green light. Let's get back to video game. Let's get back to Capcom. Yo, DeBomb was right. I can't believe it. You want to start with the first trailer and then the teaser? Let's start with the first trailer.

Before the trailer, we just had a bullet point list, frankly. So, DMC Devil May Cry Definitive Edition D6. This is cheaper and better and finally fixed. They're rebalancing the game, they're adding Turbo Mode, they're removing the color code enemies. 80, 60 frames per second. Fucking fan mods just in case we didn't think of enough. Which is great. Yeah.

Virgil. Let's push this classic Dante costume at you. That was a new one. No, it's the same one that was new. No, they added two more. Of classic? Yeah. DMC2 Dante.

That was the moment that I saw the bullet points. Oh, that looks good, actually. And then I'm watching the trailer and I'm like, this feels like a failure of nerve. Because the DMC Devil May Cry Dante shows up in like two shots and every other single moment. It's the classic Dante scam. No, we're sorry, guys. We're sorry here. Just put it out on the ground and back up quietly and see what happens.

Is the bear going to take the bait? I was saying, I didn't know that even classic DMC Dante skin was in the original version to begin with. Because I played the game and threw it in the garbage after I was done with it. So when I saw that, I went wooly, what the fuck happens when the wig flies on his head? But he's already got the white hair. What happens? Does anyone know? It probably does the exact same thing.

It's a wig that looks like new Dante. With all this, that moment is going to look super dumb. Do you know wig falls on him? Yeah. No way. It was really confusing at first. But like, no, this could make like an average game actually pretty good. Quite good.

Yeah. If the rebalancing and the changes to some of the mechanics come through as they should, this could actually be something really good. And then while you're feeding the wolves with tears in your eyes, like buttering up your own arms. Feed the wolves. They're just like, and if that's not good enough. The end of that trailer is just like, what?

So here it is. So I come over and I show Wally the trailer, right? Did you not see it? He had not seen it. He had not seen it at all. He just had the list. So we're watching it and then he turns it off and we start talking about what we think Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition is going to be.

And Wally keeps referring to it as the definitive edition and saying things like, oh, they're not going to put a new character in. It's way too much work. It's too much money for an HD port. There's no way. Not for an HD port. I'm like, Wally, what the fuck are you talking about? It's a special edition.

Like Devil May Cry 3. Yeah. We love this trailer back up. And he looks at the part again and he goes, oh, Virgil's right there. Yeah. I completely, like, you just looked at the title card. Because no, my brain just did this thing where I saw Virgil and I was like, oh, they're putting in a classic Virgil costume too.

Oh, right. And then the logo popped up and I went, oh. Well, okay. So they're HDFI. And then I started talking to you and I just didn't put things together. And then when you start putting it together, you're like, oh. Well, I made noises. The DMC trailer desensitized you because it was just like, Dante, Virgil, blah, blah,

blah, blah. Dante, Virgil, Dante, Virgil. And then it goes Virgil and you're like, yeah. Way to steal your own damn thunder. Traitmark. You know? Traitmark. They can't spell.

So it's just, no, it's just Traitmark. No. In that trailer. So it's like, yeah, okay, they fixed it or probably or what, who gives a fuck? They're putting Virgil in DMC4. And if they're going to put Virgil in DMC4. Everything I wanted. As a full bundle character.

Literally everything I wanted. You know, is this a separate release or is it bundled? I don't know. This is a separate release. They're coming out in different times. I was going to say if it was bundled though, that'd be like the ultimate. DMC is March. DMC4 is May.

Summer. Summer. Summer. It's a summer. But the thing is just like, it's like one, this trailer was released on the Ninja Theory YouTube channel. Yeah. What if Ninja Theory is handling this summer?

I'm telling you, it's like, but Ninja Theory can't use MT framework because there's no English documentation. Right. Maybe they did. They wouldn't even make an English documentation for Blue Castle, which is now Capcom Vancouver. So I seriously doubt. Maybe it's whoever did the HD ports of the trilogy, which is pipe work. It's probably Itsuno and his team as they gear up.

That's exactly what I was saying. And then the other bit is like, what if this is the ultimate Capcom test? What if this is literally put them out to fight each other and the franchise that wins gets to survive? It's not happening, man. What if? Well, it's not. I agree that that's hilarious.

It's hilarious. Even I don't think it's that because if that was the case, I think the order of the releases would be the opposite. I want this shit to be like, yo, what color crunch berries do you want in your cereal? Kids call this number for this one. If you include Lifetime Sales, the new DMC literally has no chance of winning. Certainly. Most certainly.

But with the new release, we'll need to see how close they are to each other. This is rejigger DMC to be more like the old games, then release a special Super Edition of one of the good old games, and then that paves the way for the new game. You're kind of saying that HD Remix was in competition with 4, which it was not. No. It's the same timeframe. In this case, I'm just thinking that it'd be funny if the Capcom's like, okay, so Ninja Theory's game didn't do it.

Maybe we can go back to five sometime, but maybe we don't. Maybe we continue it. I don't know. Has anyone rebooted a franchise after the fourth one, then just forgot about the reboot and then continued? That's the weirdest. Sound of hell. What do you mean?

Shadow of Memories. That was a reimagining. Oh, fuck off. It's different. It's actually different. It is slightly different, but it's the only example that's shown in close. I'm just excited because it's like, look, we're going to get a now-good action game. Hopefully.

Hopefully. If everything in the trailer is to believe. I'll stop booing Ninja Theory at a fence if this game comes out good. And then we get- No, I won't. And then we get another good game. It's like, this is just two good games. That's awesome.

One of the best character action ever. I like how it was all- Look, it didn't take too long. And they get to play Cry 4 on top of- Well, did they get to this point with a change of heart, or did they get to this point because it was forced down their throats? No. I bet they got to this point because it sooner wanted to make Devil May Cry again.

Like combination, like we remember the whole reason they started outsourcing things was so that Capcom internal development could make other shit. And in this particular specific case, it was Dragon's Dogma. Yeah. Well, this more than anything confirms to me that Dragon's Dogma is fucking dead. It's fucking dead. Like other than Dragon's Dogma Online, which is probably deep down. I don't think it's deep down, but I think it's just another game handled by Capcom

Online Games. Sure. You know that. But it's like, uh-oh. They wanted to reboot it to get twice as many sales as DMC4, and they got half. I would say it's forced because almost all these changes in DMC are things that Tamim said were stupid for wanting. Right.

And fuck the fans. And fuck the fans. I don't think. I don't know if he's- That they are. I don't know if he's so standoffish that after the release and the shellacking- Well, what happened is he disappeared from the public eye after that, because he was really public about, I don't care-

I'm going to do this my way. I'm going to do it my way. Don't bother me. Fuck off. I mean, let's be real. Capcom went to them because they wanted to game their way. They don't go to a company to get a game your way. The last thing he said, the very last thing he said is, I don't care if it sells two million

or two hundred or two thousand or something like that. And then the game, I think it did do two million, but which is like pathetic compared to its prequel. It crawled its way to two million. Yeah. After tons of price cuts- Well, one thing's for certain. Prior to this, all we've been talking about recently is man, apparently Capcom needs

money. Man, apparently Sony's doing the flag work and getting the, you know, like, stuff all this shit. And so it was like, this to me is a trump card that's being played. Well, remember even that Capcom has like a hundred dollars in the bank. I believe the last time I checked, it was like a hundred and forty three million. Which is a hundred dollars though. But like a big game costs like forty million.

Well, I was going to say if they wanted to next year, they could quadruple that. Yeah. Like it's not even effort. And that Monster Hunter 5 will come out and they're trying with. And so like, well, you're, you're right. It's like this. This is a good sign. At the same time, these are both re-releases.

These are not new games. Yeah. Of course. And that does, I think, lead into the fact like, Capcom's like either scared or broke. I don't think they're either scared or broke. I just think they're being prudent because a broke company. Because they have no money. No, because inevitably, Monster Hunter 5 is going to come out.

Yeah. And it won't save them. But it's, but you look at their release schedule and they've got a couple of games on there where you're like, those are guaranteed multi-million. Like they're not broke. You know what I mean? Look, here's a, here's the difference. The remake re-released.

Not a lot of people played that. It was only available on one console for a long time. Sorry. Which one are you talking about? Remake. Remake. Oh, remake. Okay.

Yeah. Remake release. It came out in 2002. That's a long time ago. That's a re-release that makes sense to me. DMC just came out. DMC 4 as cool as it is. You could not have had a special edition.

You'd still be happy with DMC. It's awesome for us, but also strikes me as really desperate compared to remake, which made sense. What's the biggest bang for our buck? Because we can't do big projects except for the two big projects or whatever that we have in the works right now. Because we need to put, because they must have realized at some point, uh-oh, we need to put fucking games out in 2015.

Something needs to come out. Yeah. And because this and this would probably Street Fighter and Devil May Cry 5 are not. And Trilogy came out on last gen. So, new gen, it makes sense. They're not averse to HD remixes and stuff. Yeah, Capcom's not averse to re-releasing games and extra features. No, yes it is.

I think they're far from broke, just on the idea that they do have guaranteed millions of dollars, you know. When I say broke in this context, I guess I don't actually mean broke. I mean, they have the potential to be broke in the near future. Like, if somehow they would all nosedive? Yes. Yeah. So, they gotta be careful.

And I think they're doing prudent things. And with that, the DMC 4 SE Schilling begins now. But unfortunately, not to your PC. Go buy that. Go buy that. Did you pre-order it yet on Amazon? That might be after. Because you can do that.

Or it could be just a TLC pack. If you can, just have it open in Google search bar and just hit control. Well, my plan would be to just download it. Yeah, I'm gonna buy it digital. Oh, I'm trying to shell. I'm still shelling here. Oh, sure. Go, just Google it and just F5 that every day until...

So, every time you get rid of the chess... Thank you. That's not in DMC 4. You're talking about the spinning of the dice? You mean the dice? Yes, yes, sorry. Chess is DMC 3 and that's actually a really good find. No, no, no.

DMC 4. DMC... I never had a problem with that dice thing. It was fun. Because I figured it out. I figured out how to get the number I wanted every single time. Do a specific combo? No.

You just use the devil bringer grab? Just hit control? You put it down on the opposite side? No. And you just use, like, learn the rotation. That's what I'm talking about. Learn the rotation and then hit it when you see the number before the number you want and he does the uppercut and it will get on the number you want every single time.

It's just timing. But, like, likewise, the same thing. I never really had a problem looking for Triforce pieces in Wind Waker, but they made that better in the reading process. You could just change that into a series of rooms instead. Just now, before we started, we were talking about, like, oh, yeah, you could probably go back and fix some stuff in DMC 4 as well. Touch it up.

You know, if you bring Virgil in, then you allow both characters to go on both ways. To play through all the levels. You know, and then I was like, yeah, you can fix up some of those boss fights. Like, Big Chin Guy. I barely even remember that fight. Yeah, I don't remember him at all. Well, I remember the push credo a little bit harder. Yeah.

Replace one of the Big Chin fights with the credo. And then I was about to say, and I was about to say, like, and the fucking savior, I was like, no, wait, that battle was awesome. No, no, not savior. That's the old man. The old man. That was a great fight. I was like, yeah, break it.

That's the old machine. Yeah. And you're in the air of the whole battle, and you keep fucking snatching back up. It's actually a really good fight. It was fantastic. Yeah, so, man. That's a fucking...

And then we'll have the sick three-way boss battle. Yep. Yeah. Inevitable. Yeah, okay. That... It's happening. Yeah.

Confirmed. Confirmed. What do we got? We got other things from Capcom, I guess, but not really. You know that? Remember that thing, Geek Megabuster? No. Yeah.

Yeah. It's a Megabuster. You put it on your head. It's all the light. Does it shoot lasers or tennis balls? Light. It shoots light. You can just fucking make, like, an earth gun to that,

and that's just... It's real now. It's real now. Shoot the lights. You can buy it. That's cool. Hey, if you build your own earth gun, you can put, like, a fucking gas tank in there, and make that shit fucking nerf.

Sure. Nerf it. Hey, how do you find a game? Ka-Blamzo. Yeah, well, sure. We can roll into that, of course, right to the world yesterday. But while we're talking right now, the Riptor trailer came out. That's a fun trailer.

It's a dinosaur. It's a robot dinosaur. It's a cybernetic dinosaur. That's how you do it, dinosaur, I guess. The speed of the Riptor is, it's a product of Ultra Tech, and you can see, like, it's still a fucking dinosaur, but you can see little bits of, like, cyber-isms going on. It's like Robo-Spawn.

What you put on is back plates that, like, the tail detaches into little white. When you put a dinosaur in a game, you can only do, a fighting game, you can do one of two things. You can make it a robot, or you can put boxing gloves on it. Yeah, that's the two things. That's it. So, I saw some things where some people were like,

oh, I don't like this new Riptor, and I'm like, I get it, because the original Riptor had this gigantic barrel chest. It was half-man, half-snake, half-raptor, because it's... The head was, what do you mean, brah? A third man, a third snake. Yeah, and this is just a straight-up cool raptor. I'm like, well, what do you want them to do?

Of course, it's going to look like a regular raptor, and if you want a big barrel chest, just buy the fucking retro costume. Oh, which is going to exist, of course. You saw that new TJ costume, right? Remember Max had shown us the concept art? Yeah. And now they have to show it, and he's just, like,

the most dirtiest, like, Americana, like, shredded... And you got the Christmas items. Yeah. Oh, there's Christmas items? That's great. You can make Saber Wolves have, like, a big red nose and antlers. So good. Orchid fights with giant candy canes.

That's cool. Okay, I like that. It's fun. The Riptor Showers are really... Who was at the end? Who was that? Yeah. Oh!

Yeah, the stinger on that one was the Herald of Gargos. Who was clearly Idol. Fuck you, Idol's gone forever. Yeah, hope it's Idol. So he and Mully got in this big argument. I think Idol kicks ass. This ending with you having to Google Idol because you forgot what he looked like.

And then I looked at him and I was like, oh, yeah, that's so stupid. Idol's the only thing that I liked about Killer Instinct 1. He's like, he's this dumb ogre man with a... Did you look at Idol? No, I just got new video game news announced right now. Oh, what is it? Vita.

Steins Gate is coming to North America for PS3 and Vita. Dude, I love Steins Gate. I know! Was that like a push notification? What the fuck? No, just posted on Gaff. Bam, it's coming out. Megaton, that gives me...

I always predict what this news will be. So, here's some news that you guys probably haven't caught because this is a new project, Indy. It's gonna hit Kickstarter soon, but it's not even there yet. I just happened to trip across it. This is the coolest looking racer I've ever seen. Okay, I think I might...

It's called Drift Stage. I thought you were talking about Persona 4 racing all afternoon. No, that's great. Racing all afternoon is fantastic. I can't wait for that. This is Drift Stage. I'm just gonna scroll down the Tumblr page that has a bunch of gifts on it.

Oh, well, this is gonna play super good for radio. So, this is what's going on. What? That's awesome. Yo! Yeah, it looks like what I want to drift to look like. That car is 90 degrees. So, it looks like a really bad Sega Saturn game.

But it's in 3D, and it's fucking 60 FPS, and it's smooth and looks beautiful. It looks like Hotline Miami the racer. I love the style of these cars. Yo, the way the reflections are consistent at any angle is awesome. I love it. That's actually really Saturn. Everything about this is what I want.

I want my games to look like this, man. Drift Stage looks beautiful. It's really pretty Sega Saturn. That's a shitty Sega Saturn game being emulated really well. Yeah. Crisp ass 3D, and amazing texture display. And don't tell me a really bombastic announcer. Uh, well, a great retro sound.

Drrrrr. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You start the race drifting around a corner. Oh, I wish, I wish. Um, no, so I just happened to cross that and I'm like, that's fucking cool. Um, yeah, Persona driving all afternoon. It's gonna miss the other little thing. They sent me that, I fucking laughed my ass off with the idea.

I didn't even look at it. Well, I looked at it and I was so happy because they didn't do just Mario Kart. They did Mario Kart, or Super Nintendo. Yeah. The original Super Mario Kart. They re-create that. Yeah, but it's like, but like Kart Kombat didn't do that for Mortal Kombat. Yeah.

You know? Like SWB Crush Hour. Everyone goes through these little 3D things and I was like, no man, they went straight to the original and it works really well. They know, they know. Um, that's fun. I want more things with this naming convention. I want more things to be a time period. Activity all time.

That you're doing it all of. So X activity all time. Doki Doki Panic all morning. Yeah. Um, another indie thing that's not, it's a mod. It's not really a new game, but the trailer for this just popped up. Uh, Demon Steel. Have you seen this?

No, I'm not. It's a Doom mod. Doom. It's a Doom mod. And it is being called. We've got to get more wads in here. Hideki Kamiya's Doom. By who?

Hideki Kamiya. By doodin the trailer quote guy. Oh, okay. And you, and it's like, well for starters, sword in one hand, gun in the other. Launchers, stingers, super jumps. Uh, high times. Red Steel too then. I don't know how original Doom.

I don't know how well aware you are, but like Doom has like a fucking intense mod in community. Oh, it's a fantastic joke. I was like, I've heard a lot about those Doom mods. Like brutal Doom is the fucking craziest shit ever. I love the RA4 Doom. Yeah. That's crazy.

The image of Leon running. It's so bad. And like, no, just like there's a, the trailer that I linked to has like some combos and some cool stuff being demonstrated. That's cool. A fist weapon where you just beat the shit out of demons. That's all right. And uh.

Punch them. Punch the cyber demon until they die. Literally. Literally. And opening up a fortune cookie that says ask your mom. Oh good. That's good. Put those tweets in there.

That's fun stuff. Uh, yeah, there's that. There's fucking Harada firing shots. Oh, Harada. Opening up his fucking clip on everybody on Twitter. Oh, you motherfuckers. God. How do we, okay.

So we take it back to the original. Okay. So Lucky Chloe gets announced. For Tekken 7. She's a, she's a cat girl. Like a cute whatever girl. Yeah. Yeah.

Exactly. And then people out here in the West are like, man, fuck that. The fucking face. Fuck you, Harada. And then he's like, actually that character won't be coming over to the West. Well, he, well, well, the way he did it. Well, there's a thing. He read the Gaff thread and in the Gaff thread, someone said, is there a way that we can pay

to have DLC to remove characters from the game? A joke we've been making for you guys. Everyone's been on that for a while. But that, yes, we came across that and he went, really? Okay. Well, if this is not what you need, then you don't have to worry. This character will not be in the American release. I will prepare a buff not a buff skinhead for you instead.

Remember, she's one of many characters. Yeah. If she's not what you need, then she won't be there. Yeah. And people are like, wait, no, really? You're going to die? And he's like, I'm very serious. Absolutely.

I am always serious. You guys are getting cranked. Yeah. And that's when someone goes, yeah, really? Like what did you look at Harada? When people say, now you're looking at the stern, short, stout beast of a man with dark sunglasses. You just look out your window at the painting of him on your local wall. Yeah.

That being said, I think Lucky Chloe is awful. I don't care for the character design. I don't think a character should be removed from the game. Yeah, that's it. And I think it has no place in tech. And there's already lots of cute bouncy girls in it. What? In a game with fucking Mokujin, two bears, a velociraptor.

With boxing gloves on. And a cutesy robot girl with potential chainsaw arms. I think it's fine. I think you already have enough. To me? No, you need more. Why not more? I think it's not for me, but I don't care that it's there.

You know what I think? It's not even that bad. I think second games have enormous rosters. She's also bad in the sense that this is another bad new character in Tekken 7. Because all of them have been terrible. The other girl they revealed wasn't too great either. I just like her. She's a sexy, regular girl.

And there's another guy that tell me who that guy is. He's boring. He's boring. It wasn't the Arabic guy, was it? I don't know. Okay, because that guy's art looks sick. But that being said, I respect Harada's attitude here. I respect his attitude.

I'm just like, no? Alright, fuck you. Japanese creators really like, they don't like it when you don't like their character. Because remember Dragons, not Dragonsdom, remember Dragonscrown. If you say I don't like your character design, they're quick. They're quick to go, well, fuck you. These guys and Phil Fish are the best on Twitter. Phil Fish, what was that Tweety put out the other day?

I wish video games was a building so I could burn it with all you inside. It's amazing. I wish video games? Was it? Not the industry? No, I wish video games was a building so I could burn it with all you inside. You don't like my Dragonscrown artworks. I prepared one.

So a concept art has been prepared for you. For your taste, yeah. Prepared. And it's good art. Yeah. It's like you spent like four hours on these pictures. Really pictures like a silver dish and smoke clears. This artwork is just lame.

Jay Stryer's just like, I'm a pressed fuck who has this now. Sneak pressed fuck. I'm a sneak pressed fuck who has this now. What was it that even said Sneak Press? It was Bethesda. About Prey too. These pressed sneak fucks. That's the funniest thing.

Because it's the most asshole thing that I've never seen a game company say. Like even externally I've never heard anyone say that. It's about Prey too, those pressed sneak fucks. That's a great word. I cancelled that years ago. Oh man, no. But don't let them find it out. Japanese developers on Twitter is the greatest thing to happen to the others.

They don't give a shit. It's the greatest thing. You're developers on Twitter shouldn't give a shit. They're probably very humble. They don't stir shit up. But on Twitter they're the fucking biggest trolls ever. Yeah. Dude that is president of this.

Nipponichi. Yeah. He comes out and goes, hey guys, if this guy at five doesn't sell, we might have to shut down. No way actually. But that wasn't even what he said. He said I might have to leave. That was a tear. I might have to shut down.

Right? As a joke. That was a bad graduation. Everyone takes it and runs with it. No, that was like such a bad translation. That can hurt your company to say something that stupid. But he didn't say that. What he actually said was if it doesn't sell, we might have to step out from this wall.

It's still as bad as when it's a translation error or whatever. But they didn't translate it somewhat. Oh really? A third party translation. Oh that's bad. It sucks that that's the way that went down. But I'm still just picturing the old Gil running NIS, you know. Oh geez.

The wolves are running in the Nipponichi store. There's a lot of horror over here. He skis are older now. Oh no. Oh good no. Oh do you want to buy a Wonder Swan? Oh that's good. Oh good.

Now we have to talk about rust proof. Because these Wonder Swans will rust up your on like that. I'm telling you, it's all about the true coat. You've got to get the true coat on the car. You can actually probably buy any of those games or anything we've talked about with Bitcoin. What's your Bitcoin balance? What's it looking like?

I'm really happy that I'm still ignorant of what Bitcoin's CD are. So. And don't explain it. Okay so we won't. We won't. It's fine. I have zero Bitcoins. Yep.

And I actively despise Bitcoins because for like two years they fucked up the PC GPU market. Yeah. They fucked that market up. You don't like secret installations of Bitcoin miners on your computer? No that's not what I'm referring to. That's not what he's talking about. There were video cards that were good value for your average PC that happened to be very good for Bitcoin mining.

So they would just sell out to Bitcoin farms and you'd go I can't buy a fucking graphics card. Because Bitcoin miners got all the reason I bought my 970 the night it was announced was because I was worried that Bitcoin miners would get it. Maybe you should pay a visit to the Montreal Bitcoin office. Yeah. Maybe. A physical location.

Yeah. It's right there. It's right there. You know where it is. So Bitcoins aren't real because money isn't real. Bitcoins are so fucking smart. Bitcoins are so smart. And now you can buy Xbox games with them.

Oh really? Yeah. What? Yeah. What? That's what I'm getting at. Are you fucking serious? Yeah.

Secretly updated on the Xbox live store. You can buy games with Bitcoin. Well then. Which is good for every party involved. Except for Bitcoin authorities or whatever who are now going to have to be subject eventually to monetary regulation. Like eventually. There's no Bitcoin authority.

But no. But no. I mean like the banks are fucking whatever the Bitcoin banks are. Eventually if stuff like this happens and Bitcoins become an actual currency then regulations start to hit them like taxes. Certainly. Tax your Bitcoins. But right now they have an office where they'll trade in your cash for Bitcoin.

Damn. And you can buy little Bitcoin like mini towers that just sit there and mine all day. Man. You know? Man. Fuck folding at home. We should have been Bitcoining. Fuck saving lives.

If our PS4 is shipped with Bitcoin mining we'd have Sony burnt PS4. At a rate of 0.01 Bitcoins per month. That's money. Like you're saying that's money in a fake bank. You're saying to turn Bitcoins so much and all in my head is all I can think of is a spaceman looking down saying hey save me some of that sweet sweet moon money for me too because I'm still so lost in the dark about this crap. No but you don't want to be in the light.

I don't. It would honestly take like 20 minutes to explain Bitcoins to you and then you would get it and be like it wasn't worth it. Unless you use the new children's book that explains Bitcoin. Shut up. I think Bitcoins are fascinating. I think they're fascinating but I don't like them. Sure.

Yeah. Sure. Uh oh. The market crashed. No. No. Didn't. No.

Wait it did. No. The guy stole all the Bitcoins. Get him. Why? You didn't steal real money. Ah. Like everything about that fucking nonsense.

It's just like I thought it was really interesting and then I started to read up on it. I was like nope. Nope. I'm done. I'm fucking done. With this cryptographic money. Microsoft decided it's good enough for them so you know. Because what?

They get the Bitcoin then they just turn around and sell it and it's just as good as money. It's literally just as good as money in a lot of cases. Right now. Anything's as good as money if someone's willing to pay you money for it. Exactly. Exactly. That's how the exchange of goods and services works. So any guesses as to what the top selling amiibo is?

Well I know so I'm not going to guess. You guessed it. Frank's the load. Okay. It's the stupidest fucking thing. It's like we're seeing this come out in the exact same news week that we're hearing that the season two amiibos or whatever they're called series two amiibos are sold out before they go on sale.

I looked all over the fucking island to find little Mack and know what the actual fuck. Wait is little Mack out? Yeah. Oh what? I ordered him out. I already ordered him. Okay. I bought him months ago because I knew.

Well the Gamecube adapter thing is fucking fucked up and pseudo discontinued. Every time. The amiibos are a fucking mess. It's like every time they put out an accessory. Every time. You know. Literally ever. And this time I think is the first time where they really got me and a few podcasts ago

I was like no amiibos they clearly care more about. They're clearly a more important facet. No. The Mario amiibo is an important facet. The link. And the peach amiibo are an important facet. The link amiibo the Mario amiibo and the Pikachu amiibo in that order are the most important. No I mean in the sense that they give a shit about them.

Not even financially. I mean you're never gonna get another fucking use for your shulk amiibo. You're more of the amiibo. I'm sorry. You better like smash brothers a lot. Yeah we're saying like like shulk. What the fuck. Yeah.

Yeah maybe maybe. But shulk. Whenever that comes up. Little Mac. Oh shulk yes. Little Mac. You know Mac is a fucking dark pit. Game and watch.

Dark pit gets an amiibo. Dude all of them are gonna get amiibos. Smash ones but like now you know. Don't buy that shulk amiibo unless you just want a shitty shulk toy. Unless you want a shitty figure. Exactly. I want duck hunt just so I can have a relic 20 years from now. I really want duck hunt dog.

Yeah so you can go looking through your pile of old garbage go like oh man I bought the duck hunt amiibo that's so stupid. That's exactly the feeling I want to capture in two decades. When I was going through woolly's toy box not too long ago and I see the fucking the most specific action figure ever and I was so specific that it got super creeped down and washed my hands. What was it? It was fucking the giant from WCW.

During a specific era where he was always wearing a neck brace. Because Goldberg broke his neck. They did this action figure with him with a neck brace on? He had it on for like six months in the ring. How much? It was a k-fave injury. Wow like that doesn't sound that specific. If you went to a store and you bought a Marth amiibo with a neck brace on how much do you

think you could sell that for? Like $25,000. $25,000. Like eight bitcoins. Yeah eight bitcoins. Damn. Oh yeah. I was like what is this and I didn't tell.

I didn't talk to him about it. I'm really unhappy with all this amiibo shit because it's like way to just fucking throw that accessory under the bus with the rest of it. I don't care and I never cared and even my cynicism did not expect it to be botched as are. It's like. And that's astounding. If you can perform worse than my expectations you really fucked up.

But they made tons of money. Well no but I mean. They sold like 800,000 amiibos. But people aren't hand-inners. They can't get their candy. Well if you didn't reserve it you don't deserve it. Most people don't even know. Shut up Mr. GameStop.

Every time. I don't know. I heard that. But seriously most people don't even know. Yeah. You know and it's like and you know if that one guy who posted on Gaff is to be believed then DK and Samus are the next on the way out. I'm glad I got my DK.

Exactly. The way the GQ adapter came out it just feels like. That one too. The next thing where it's like oh you don't have to worry now because we're gonna have this support for you and everything. And it was like no this is just being thrown out to a piece. People in the UK got absolutely fucked by this. It's just it's to calm down the wolves.

Because they got smashed a week later. Yeah okay. So they only got to really feel the problem once Americans already started going into other regions. To get the adapters. The adapters. Where did you get your adapter from? My adapter is the Dianto Smash Bros.

Right. Game fucking adapter. So people in the UK in addition to getting lower amounts of them in general. Were a week behind on this. They got fucked. We only bugged a small Japanese child for his gig. Well. He wasn't using it.

Yeah. I mean. He doesn't have four friends. Three friends. Three real life friends probably. Looking at the media create sales this week when I saw all the numbers Smash Bros. I was like yet more adapters for everyone because those numbers aren't. They're good as good as the Wii U numbers get but like they're dismal compared to the U.S.

numbers. Smash is way bigger in the U.S. Weird. Like Zelda. Like Zelda. Yeah. I find that weird too. Okay sure.

Metroid too. That one doesn't feel weird to me. Feels like it should have been packed in with the collector's edition. They made one. They made one. Oh my God. Yeah it was. The Smash bundle has it.

Oh my God. But that was like just forget about it if you wanted to get one. Super sold out. That was sold out. That was so invisible that I didn't know about it. It was just the game and that and the GameCube controller. Okay. Like that's what it was so.

You're still missing. So here's where the production of this just becomes fucking baffling. Nobody has problems finding the new GameCube controllers they put out. No one. Guess why. Yeah. They seem to have made like ten times as many controllers as adapters. Because you need to.

No shit. Yeah. Yeah. They made more. Well it feels like the last time they made a new run they just made enough to keep them sitting in a factory somewhere. What the GameCube controller? Yeah.

Especially Japan where they got the white one. And just fucking roll them out. Yeah. You know. Like it feels like the truck is just parked. What a mess. Man. What a disappointing mess.

I can't believe it. I just can't believe how bad this was fucked. Well you might have better luck if you take your stab at the Bloodborne collector's edition. No. That's going to come with some stuff. Yeah. Bloodborne the day it was announced. Oh well.

Plus what I'm saying. Yeah. The card book is crap. So fuck that. It's not an actual art book. It's the little dinky thing. Yeah. So Dark Souls and Games and Demons they get your dinky art book in your collector's edition.

And then later they put out. Yeah later. No. Demons had the amazing strategy guy. You know what? Demons was the good one. Demons is really good. But Dark One and Dark Two you had the baby dinky art book.

And then you had the fucking for realsie art book that came later. Dark One's art book is the most pathetic piece of shit in the world. The first time I opened it the binding snapped. And pages fell out in the metro. Wow that didn't happen to me. The first time I opened it. Holy shit. Wow.

And it has what's the word. It warped. Like within months. And it's just fucking. Mine's still pristine. Geez. Maybe you got a bad one. I might have but it's.

Mine's trash. That sucks. Mine's trash. If the Bloodborne box is the same thing as a Metal Gear HD collection. Remember that collector's edition with this big and had like a big fucking thick art book. I'd get that. I don't think limited anything for Bloodborne is going to be a worry.

Not just with the digital. I think of that game is going to be pushed out pretty hard. The case looks really cool though. It's just a bookshelf. It's really nice. I like that kind of thing. No it doesn't. And I guess we didn't talk about it last week.

But yo flamethrower. That game's got a flamethrower in it. The little fire sprayer thing. Yeah. It's the tech is the replacement for spells. Sounds good. Damn right. Yeah.

Hopefully they're super limited. Did we talk about Bloodborne this week? No. Yeah. Check that box. Check that box. I told you about that right? Yeah.

Because like email comes in how did you not talk about well there's the flamethrower. We saw it. It was cool. What do you want? New Bloodborne news almost every week. New enemies are going to be unveiled soon. Like if Bloodborne looks shitty and there's some sort of mechanic that was really bad then you can talk about it.

I mean you can discuss it. So you know that game looks awesome. No. Every week that game still looks awesome. That footage we saw two weeks ago looks great. It still looks good. Go watch it again. You ready for the crossover of the millennium?

What's this? Mega Man X Cross Sonic Boom. No shut up. Wait for actual? Yeah. The comic books. Oh the comic books. Okay.

So as long as it's not a game it's fine. All I vomit onto the microphone. Well like lots of people have said Sonic Boom's show is actually quite good. Oh shit. Yeah. So they find their mother? Yeah. Basically.

That's why I can't get drunk. I'm not going to take the bait. I wish that was a direct sequel. I'm not going to take the bait. That's why I can't get drunk and watch the show. Because the show is fine. Yeah. Nothing will happen.

I'll just be like sitting there completely late. Just giggling to yourself. Just completely entertained. By the way Sally Acorn. Yeah. What about her? I couldn't think of her name. I said it like twice and you cut it out.

Did I? Yeah. You were probably drunk while you were having it. I was probably drunk when I was editing. Yeah we all have Sonic Wifus now. Mine is Rouge. Yours is Sally. And yours is...

No, no, no, no, no. Fucking bunny rabbit. Bunny rabbit. Yeah I remember. Too bad. It's a rabbit. Bunny rabbit. I was just mentioning.

No you have no control. No I'm out of it. I don't have a Sonic Wifus. You've got cream. Yeah I do love blaze but I don't have control over this machine either. Everyone knows that Pat's Sonic Wifus is cream. This mean machine is out of control. I can't fucking, you know, stop the lore.

No one can. Rage. Rage though. I didn't get to say it during the first ad. Who's Rage? By the way everyone's trying to out compete themselves and create a rage in different games. I love it. It's amazing.

Did you see the solo caliber 4? No I didn't. You look so good. You look so good. It was impeccable. Perfect. We need to catch up. Rage needs to catch up to the Baz and lore.

And then once that's happened, new character. Once that's happened, new character. Then we'll create our own part of the game. We'll see where that goes. Killer Instinct. Killer Instinct dive kit crossover but it's only our character. We were talking about Tomb Raider earlier but we didn't get into the actual news with it.

The nitty gritty. They're making a prequel miniseries and a movie. Shut up. I didn't hear about this. Yeah. A prequel. Live action. Live action.

And I imagine it's for the new universe. Yeah. A prequel to the game that was supposed to be the prequel. The rise of the Tomb Raider. Well, well before. It's not, it wasn't a prequel so much as it was just a new universe. Yeah, no, no. It's a world reboot.

Not before the Tomb Raider reboot. They long since talked about making a Tomb Raider movie reboot with Megan Fox or whatever. I guess now Camilla Luddington is the girl. Yeah, because she's the actual girl. She's the girl. Kate Beckinsale would make a good Lara Croft. She's like 48 years old. But she's so...

Yeah, you're right. You're right. But the girl that voices her looks like her. That's true. That's true. That's becoming more and more common. Is she an actual actress? Yeah.

She's an actress. She's from Teleportication. Oh, yeah. You can see her boobies. It should be. Oh my god, I'm seeing Lara Croft's boobies. She's sweet. And I don't need to put, like, a coat.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You don't have to put your computer at risk. I did it. Yeah. Well, yeah, no, they're there. They want to make, like, a little live-action miniseries and then, like, announce them.

Live-action miniseries not too bad because Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter did way better than they should. Exactly. Those should have been fucking awful. And they were pretty great. Yeah. The second Mortal Kombat's really bad. Oh.

But the Street Fighter one's good. Assassin's Fist. Assassin's Fist actually pretty good. Yeah. I told you I'd watch it. You can get the whole thing now. And they recently had an announcement, too, about a new Assassin's Fist thing. Yeah.

Assassin's Fist 2. It's an electric boogaloo. I think it's called, like, Owl? Owl? I hope it's not. I hope it's actually, I don't call Assassin's Fist 2 because it's like, I don't care about Akuma's storyline anymore. Please shut up about it.

Now that he's killed zero people. Now that he's the most unintimidating person in the world. He used to tell me about RoboCharlie. Now the interesting thing about this narrator story is RoboCharlie puts the glasses on and then right afterwards he puts Q's mask and hat on. Oh. Yeah. That'd be amazing.

Yeah. You were disappointed that I interrupted you but then you were happy with what I said. No. No, it's fine. It's still there. What's the interesting thing about you, right? So the interesting thing about this is that this guy that is behind the Tomb Raider miniseries, his name is Steven Lunsford and his filmography includes Teen Wolf.

The show? That's the spin-off show or the original Teen Wolf movie? The TV series. Oh, so that's shit then. And Kamen Rider. What? What? Now?

Huh? Peculiar. What? Well, he's here that- I need you to explain. He is in Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Oh, it's as someone, not a writer. It seems-

Director. I don't know. Peculiar. But he's involved in Kamen Rider- Somehow. And he's involved in Desperate Housewives. See, here's the thing. There are a lot of Kamen Riders out there that are actually Desperate Housewives.

Yes. You wouldn't know it, but- Gotcha. They're desperate underneath that belt. Yeah. Terry Hatcher. Terry Hatcher is a Kamen Rider. And then Clark shows up.

I'm sorry. You're not paying that much attention, Wally, but Terry Hatcher is a Kamen Rider is the name of this project. I know you don't like it. What do you call it? It's anybody but me actually watch The Adventures of Lois and Clark. Oh, yeah. Because I was thinking about this, walking on the way over here.

And I remember there's a moment in which I think it's the best, what's the fucking bad guy's name? Lex Luthor. It's the best Lex Luthor defining moment that I can think of. And it's before he's bald and he's skeet shooting off of his penthouse. You talking about Smallville or fucking Lois and Clark? Lois and Clark. And he's skeet shooting, he's not bald, he's got, in Lois and Clark he wasn't bald for

three years. And he's skeet shooting off of the roof of his penthouse. That's awesome. Talking about his evil plan to his butler and he fucking misses one and like ten seconds later you hear, ah, oh, right? And he just turns to the lawyer with the gun and he's like, fix it, and the guy just walks out and he just goes back to skeet shooting and it's like, yeah, that's evil, right there. Jesus Christ.

To my surprise, it seems that, yeah, this is just straight up an American fucking adaptation that was put out in 2010. Adaptation of what? Kamen Rider. Of what? Kamen Rider. 2008, rather. But of what, Kamen Rider?

Kamen Rider. A rookie. It is an American. Okay. Wow, I didn't know they brought that over. It's Kamen Rider Ryuki. That's fucking news to me. As they redubbed it.

Breaking news on the podcast four years late. Yep. So it was next on the docket. They redubbed it or they remade it? I closed it. Who gives a shit? People that like Kamen Rider? I like Kamen Rider.

Fairly not. Dammit, stop saying that. Not as much as Woolies. He knows. Not as much as Woolies. He loves all the things you love just more. It's true. It's true.

It's confirmed this week. I love myself a lot. So remember. Not as much as Woolies, I guess. When he gets angry when I go joke on, people go, yeah, Matt, you're awesome. Because you know what that's from. You're just gonna say it. And clickbait of the week goes to IGN blogs for the following.

Is gameplay holding back games? I don't believe you. That is a real article. No, click on that. I don't believe you. All right. I'm getting up. Well, guess what?

Guess what? I made no link to it. Because fuck those guys. But if you Google search it. Pat, you're Googling it right now. I'm doing it. If you go to P4R, their latest article is 100% taking the piss. Is this today that it's won up?

It's not today. It's happened a couple of days ago. Okay, I'm a mystic. Is gameplay holding back games? Clickbait of the week. Okay, so let's see. Is the ability to see a movie in a theater holding back the film medium? Everyone's made the joke.

Our tires holding back F1. Everyone's done it. We've gone through the run. Our dicks holding back sex. So I get what they're saying. I have to just look at it from try to put yourself in that crazy perspective where it's like, okay, so a game with minor or no gameplay, but it's just a movie. He's basically...

I get what you're saying. You're doing something that's July 31st, 2013. It's a blog entry on IGN blogs whenever the fuck it came out. I think it's July 31st, 2013. I think we're like a full year. It popped up on P4R, made an article based on it, and it popped up on LolTaku, and I fucking died. Okay.

Well, I died. Yeah, I can't relate. Well, here's the P4R article, obviously, because it's super good. Did you see that? Is gameplay an outdated feature in video games? Well, that's a P4R. Yeah. Because you know what it is?

He's going for the thing where, what, ludonarrative dissonance is pulling me out of this or whatever. But it's just like, you're fucking... No, he's not going for that. He's going for the asshole angle of that, you know? That's what he always does. But he does. It should be an existential experience, man. Yeah.

They should be as good as Beyond Two Souls. Oh. Which is so good. This reminds me of a Eurogamer thing. I think they said the top reasons why you might not want to pre-order the order. Yeah. And then it was a list of all its gameplay features. I should have read that.

It was a list of its gameplay features. Based on a demo, including bugs. And the bugs section was, there have been a lot of buggy games this year. Watch out. And it's like, that is not a criticism of the game at all. You know what the article should have been? Why you shouldn't pre-order the order? Yes.

Number one. Don't pre-order games. Then we're done. I do it because I'm an idiot. But even I know that if money was like, you know, I'm not going to pre-order games. If money was like, type. And it mattered more if I got a fucking shit product. Exactly.

Don't pre-order games. Don't pre-order games. Except for DMC4 Special Edition. Available for Xbox One. The All-in-One Entertainment Platform. And the PlayStation 4 Computer Entertainment Console. Coming next year. Summer 2015.

Keep a look out. With that being said. We're consistent. Do believe. I do believe it's letter time. It's not a time. It's not a time. Liam!

What? I want to write myself a letter that Woolie will read. Quieter than that. Woolie's making us speak quieter. Okay. Here's how you do that. Woolie, your hair looks great. That's how he'll read your email.

Hey, Woolie. Your hair looks so nice. Why is Pat so bald? I've been stealing your hair? No, it's because I have more testosterone in my body. Oh. It's what makes me aggressive. It's short.

It's what lets you sleep at night? No. No. Anyway, where do you send these emails? Super best friendcast. It's the perfect light of configuration that lets him sleep at night. I have a picture on my phone that I need to put on Twitter of him demonstrating that. Okay, no, that's creepy.

I won't. I have it there. Now that you've put it out there, Liam, I need this. I've got it. I need this for this episode. No. There you go. There you go.

I won't. I won't. This is your best friendcast at gmail.com. If you send me pictures of Pat demonstrating his sleeping techniques, I will totally take those pictures. Don't send pictures of anyone because it's weird that you guys have pictures of us. Yeah. Yeah.

That's weird. Well, yeah. I don't understand how that works. Please delete your private pictures of us. We got one coming in from... Annferney. Annferney? Annferney.

You're making this up. No, for real. It says Annferney. You don't have to jump over wires. It says it. I thought you were getting up. No, I was just shifting. Okay.

There's a bad suit. Have you ever encountered animator games where you really, really, really dig the premise but the art style made you turn away? Usually it's the quality that makes me turn away. Yeah. A game where the art style made you turn away. It didn't make me turn away, but it sure made me not like dust as much. Yeah.

I'm down with the art style. I think the... No, I'm down with the concept of the art. I think the art sucks. The art quality sucks. I can see that he was... I think he was going for like a Robin Hood Disney thing. Yeah, yeah.

But the art sucks. Well, my problem is with the subject matter. What? Anthropomorphic characters? Yeah. Rather not be, you know, whatever. No, sure. I have no problem with that, but the quality...

And I think whatever your fucking sidekick is, fizzle or whatever... Okay, no. Your thing is different. Yours is like a lot of the portrait art. Are there any some of the portrait art you don't like? Sucks! The end game sprites are more or less fine. But the portrait art...

The portrait art for the secondary cast is like... Oh, so bad. One of the characters is 3D, too. Yeah, I know. Oh, back in my days of ignorance, Dark Souls. Yeah. Yeah. But not just Dark Souls.

You like Dragon's Dogland stuff. You were just like, and I was kind of there with you. Anything, because I was so fucking ever quested out. Of the game that you never played. No, of like fucking dead, bland fantasy. Yeah, and every time I told you, no, it's not... No, not... God damn it, listen to me.

You'd be like, no. And then... It's time to go to Street Fighter Tournament. It was time to go. Oh, I... There's some... That's a good question, but yeah. Because usually it's an art style all out of go.

Yeah, exactly. I'll never get into that because of the way it looks. We were just talking about it. Something 2D. Something 2D? Yeah. I... There's something...

Yeah, I don't know, man. Like, I think it wasn't like Transistor or anything, but it was something... No, no. We were recently talking about, like, it's a good game, and you're like, I can't... John of the Life? No, no, no.

I can't, dude. I know that we had the conversation. I can't remember. But you remember the just... Nothing? Well, damn. That was supposed to be a good question. I have literally nothing.

Fuck. Well, on the next one. Yeah, now I'm trying to think of the... Well, you'll remember after the podcast. Unfortunately. Brian wants to know, what do you think has... What game has had the best beyond the scenes?

Behind the scenes. Behind the scenes? That you've seen. I think... I still think Portal is like... Damn it, you motherfucker! Yeah, there you go. I was gonna say Portal.

Portal is... The commentary thing is amazing. So good. It is great, it is great. I'm gonna throw down Eyes of Bayonetta. That's what I was gonna say. The Eyes of Bayonetta thing was fantastic. That was really, really good.

Absolutely. There's not that many of them. There's like the two flavors. It was like Eyes of Bayonetta, which is like separate from the game. And then there's like the Portal stuff. And they're just in-game, like Deus Ex. Yeah.

Which is very rare. If we're gonna go for like not in-game, also the whole Double Fine adventure is excellent. And is a good peek into how games are actually made. I was expecting that from you. Yeah. I thought we were talking in-game only, so yeah. A bunch of people have emailed in the same question,

which is weird coincidentally, but they're all saying, I'm getting or I have gotten a Wii U for Christmas. What are the must-have games? And we've answered this question already. I think we should just have a copy and paste. This probably. Hi, everyone.

These are the must-have games for your Wii U. That said, like Pikmin 3, I will not stop yelling, because that game would have been Game of the Year if it weren't for Platinum. That game is fucking amazing. Super Mario 3D World. A wonderful 101.

Zombie U. Zombie U. Bayo 2. Bayo 2. Mario Kart 8. If you can get through the beginning, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, if you're into that kind of stuff,

Mario Kart and Hyrule Warriors. I was gonna say, you know what, throw Hyrule on it. But like, that's if you're into those two, because I can't fucking play Mario Kart without all the Hyrule Warriors. They're not without all the Warriors. Yeah, exactly.

Pikmin 3. Pikmin 3. Bayo 2 again. Bayo 2 again. I've played a lot that I like. The Fall. The Fall. If you're sports ball.

Yeah. Sports. Sports ball. I don't think that's a must-have. I don't think it's a must-have. I think it's pretty fun. I don't think it's a must-have. Yeah.

Yeah, and probably Splatoon when that comes out. Maybe. Maybe. If you're into that kind of stuff. Shoot in the Spider. Third person shooter. Third person shooter. Some people just don't like shooters.

And that's the end of it. There's something about the way you aim and shoot in that game that doesn't appeal to me. So I just go. Maybe it might be the art style. No, it's not the art style. I don't like the character design

very much. It's the size of the characters. They remind me of Rocket Power too much. And I don't know why that is. And I hated that show. It's a cartoon that I hated. That's Rocket Power. We were probably adults by the time.

That's right. You would have been like 16 or 17 or something at the time. Okay. So like. He was too watching a CG cartoon. Exactly. Yeah.

Well, that's around the time of like Spider Writers and shit like that, I assume. Fuck Spider Writers. No. We're riding spiders. I know nothing about this. I've never heard of it,

but I'm going to assume they were riding spiders. They were. It's bad. It represents everything that was wrong with that era. Donkey Kong Country. Tropical.

Yeah. That's a good one. Mighty Switch Force hyperdrive edition. Anything that Nintendo put out in the console. Pretty much. There's your list, guys. Wind Waker.

Wind Waker HD. You hear it? If you got friends in Nintendo Land, don't skimp on that. Nah, I disagree. If you got friends. What? If you didn't have friends.

It's true. We got one coming in from Jill. I'm still here, Pat. Shut up. Don't touch me. And he straight up says... Can you touch me, though? Well, he's just basically saying,

okay, name drop a manga or a comic that you like or that you've read that hasn't been mentioned on the podcast yet. I don't have any. I literally don't. I feel like this is the kind of thing you don't want to fuck up

where it's like, no, you got to pick one that you really like. I literally... Have you ever talked about your favorite thing in the world, I did it last week, Vagabond.

I talked about Vagabond last week. Something that has not been name dropped yet that I really like. Have you ever responded to random comments on YouTube with just the phrase, go read Vagabond?

Yeah, no, that was one. That was one in particular where someone was getting mad at something in a brawl or something where the battle tactics were unfair. They're just like, you have no honor in battle.

I was like, go read Vagabond. Oh, Beck. Beck, sure. Go read Beck. I think Beck is a great book. I guess it's more recent than anything. I don't know if I talked about

Bakumon. It's a manga about people who do manga. It's by the guys who did Death Note and it's fucking excellent. It's by the guys that do manga. It is kind of inspiring, actually, when you read it.

And it goes from high school to years into life. There you go. It's really good. I can't think of a handle. Chocho is bizarre and punchy. That hasn't been talked about. I read very little manga in comics.

I cannot help you faithful listeners. I'm about to say one punch. Oh, no. Damn it. Just talked about that. I also like BioMeat. That was good. Stop saying that.

That manga was good, but kind of shitty too. You said it the first time. Because it's shitty, but at the same time it's charming. Stop saying BioMeat. No, BioMeat. BioMeat, BioMeat, BioMeat.

Terrible name. BioMeat. Oh, my God. He's really good at saying it. Okay. If you like Claymore, the same artist, his story before that was Angel Densetsu. It's the story of this dude that's so fucking ugly

that he gets automatically promoted to the being the leader of a gang in his school, and he just rules everyone around because he's just ugly, but he can't fight. He's a weakling. He's garbage. Right.

I gotcha. That's good. It's a fun week. Talk to him before we fuck it. If you like romance, just repeat. Damn it. Sure. Does any of us know about Three by Three Eyes?

I know that it's at the top of every Super Nintendo emulator. Yeah, exactly. Romulas, emuladores. Fuck that game. Every fucking time. Every fucking time. Keep trying to put its way into your emulator playing session.

No, I'm trying to tell the games from demonsbane.com or One Minute Left. Yeah. And fucking Three by Three Eyes wants a piece. Get outta here, Three by Three Eyes. None of us know. And lastly, Tanner wants to bring our attention to... Buy DMC for Special Edition.

Yes, that. But then the second part of his email says, check out mountaingame.com. This inspires me to ask you what defines a game because mountain is a game that defines itself as a mountain simulator slash relaxumup slash art horror. You mean rock and roll climber?

So the bullet points for this game on its site are no controls, automatic saving, audio on and off, time moves forward, things grow and die, nature expresses itself, minus 50 hours of gameplay. Once generated, you cannot be regenerated. This is a game where a mountain grows and you watch it grow. That's cool. Is it a game then?

It is not a game. No. Screen save. Is a screen saver not even glorified? On site, buddy. On a very... Like, you can argue and disagree about whether or not an interactive experience or whatever can be a game,

but like... You're not a game because you say you're a game. You have to be... And you can be... I don't dislike games like Dear Esther and Gone Home. I enjoyed Dear Esther quite a lot. I wouldn't call it a game. I call it an interactive experience or whatever.

But to be a game, you have to be able to win and lose. It's just the simplest thing. It's like you have to... It needs to be two states. You have to be able to win and lose, but you have to be able to play. Or like alive or dead. You need to be able to interact with it. Or to compete against anything.

Well, no. Because no be, no be, boy. That's not a game. It's a toy. It's a game. It's a toy. It's a video game. It's a video game.

It's got... It's got trophies. It calls it a toy. It calls everything a toy. It makes toy games. But it's got achievements. There you go. Sure.

And you want to get girl around the sun. There's an objective. Yeah, exactly. Plus Pluto, actually. Or further. Further than Pluto. As far as you can get her. Yeah.

If you can toss your girl past Pluto, you're doing good. You gotta feed her all those meters. Every time. As fast as... And it gets you every time. Every time. But it's girl about 11 million meters. Yeah.

It's just, you know, like, is it as simple as an interactive experience or does there need to be more on top of this? You and I can argue about like the very nitty-gritty details, but like no interaction at all. Yeah. It clearly doesn't have... That's my line. Is there any interaction? Is there no interaction?

I think that's too broad. I think you either have to win, lose, or compete. Like sports friends or something, even if you can't win a certain thing or whatever. As long as you're against someone. There has to be a goal and something that can stop you from that goal. Right? At the base level, I think. Because it's like...

What would you call... Would you call soccer a game if no one could touch the ball? Well, if no one could interact, that's what my... Yeah, I guess we're gonna... Exactly. Because like if, let's say, Beyond Two Souls was railroaded way harder than it is. And it was literally just press X every half hour. That would be the closest board...

Like nobody will ever do that, but that would be the closest borderline you could ever get to as far as I'm concerned. Are you paying attention? No, then you lose the game. No, exactly. That would be the least gamiest game as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, or Dragon Slayer is pretty close to that. Well, I was gonna say I was gonna say I was gonna say like the animated...

Street Fighter II, the animated movie game, where it's like while you're watching the same movie, scan for power levels. The idea you just have is a real thing and it's the game he's talking about. DVD menu games, too. Yeah, DVD, yeah. As, actually, well, I lied, there's one more we're gonna take from Andrew, who says it's not a question, but it's just more so that I can update Pat's knowledge. G-Saber cheat is actually like level one is scrubs for scrubs,

because you can go up to 20 or 99 where you could have a legit lightsaber where if you accidentally touch anything in the level, it completely fucking gets right. The level? You can cut through doors and get through... Okay, because one I always used because what it would do is it would turn on... Jedi Knight II, by the way, a real lightsaber mod. That's what we're talking about. I always used one because AI only knew that was the only one that existed,

but also it did everything that I wanted and it was like if the lightsaber touches any person, it bisects them and this includes running up to them with it out. And it includes, and there's something I didn't talk about, it's probably the most important thing, this applies to enemy lightsabers as well. So you die in 182. It totally fucks the game's difficulty up in the best way possible in which lightsaber fights can last for 10 minutes, but because it's touch of death. Hope he doesn't throw it at you.

Yeah, I did not know that you could fuck with the environment if you crank it up. 20 to 99. That's a hole on their level. And you can get a double-ended lightsaber as well. Yeah, I know. Oh cool, I know. Good times. That cheat is not consistent in Jedi Academy.

And it's weird because Jedi Academy is a way better game, but because the cheat isn't consistent, it's not a way better game. It's weird. It's really weird. I wish they'd bring it back somehow. No. Me too. I thought that's what goddamn Force Unleashed was gonna be.

That's what Force Unleashed should have been. No, I can tell you from day one it's not what it was supposed to be. Well, then fuck that. Fuck that. It really worked on it. Would you guys buy Force Unleashed 3 by Platinum? It doesn't have Zandatsu. I would get angry if Platinum was making a Star Wars game,

like how I got... Actually? Yeah, because Star Wars had its chance. Make something else, you know what I mean? No. Force Unleashed had two games. No. Yes.

Half the time when I was playing Revengeance in my head, I was like, man, you could just make this a Star Wars game. And I would love it. I was thinking that there's enough Star Wars games. Lightsabers are cool. They're laser swords. They're cool. I'll play No More Heroes instead because it's a cooler universe.

That hasn't been ruined. So that's a Bart Jr. To who? Pizza Bat Jr. Pizza Bat Jr. That's his fucking name. Wow, fucking great piece of shit character. Yeah, that universe hasn't been ruined with the fucking horrible ruining

in the Congress edition. It's been ruined a lot less than Star Wars has. Fair enough. That is not even... Fair enough. I can't argue that. We'll see you guys next week. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
