Castle Super Beast - SBFC 080: I don't think Moolie means what you think it means

Episode Date: February 17, 2015

Holy crap, that RockPaperShotgun interview with Molyneux was bananas.

Yo, guys, if you want a free ride with Uber, open up the app on your phone, enter the code WULI-M, and, uh, yeah, you scratch my back, I scratch your back, everybody get a free ride. I want a ticket for the World Ride. I guess I should, let's, let's start by- Let's start by making everyone uncomfortable. Because you guys are, you guys already brought it up and- No, I already brought it up and- You and Pat, you were like, I should probably be-

WULI, you should probably make a Tumblr post about this, and I was like- Yeah! And that was, but that was like two weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, no. And I guess I had assumed that you had so- You had made it. You know, you're standing in front of the presidential thing- Exactly.

We need to make a statement. It's really, it's, it's funny more than anything, but it's just the fact that, okay, so yeah, now that my hair's purple and everyone's like, it's alternate WULI, it's like a Wario type of thing. Yeah, yeah. So just switch the W. Yeah, so just call them MULI, right? Yeah. That's gonna work.

That's how that started. That's exactly how that started. And that is innocent. And it cocked the fuck on. Yeah. A lot, but a lot of the people that are doing this are probably unaware that- Because they're like 16 and not 55. WULI is a super racist Italian term for black people.

And it's so specific. Because it means mullinian, which is eggplant, and it's what Italian racist people call black people because you're so black that you're purple. Which, when you think about the fact that- No, I mean, that's telling your hair it was purple. Also, it just kind of links up and makes an especially awkward situation. It's actually perfect, if not for the fact that it's really fucking racist. So just in case you didn't know, MULI is really like-

No harm, no foul. No harm, no foul. Exactly. I said right before this how I was like, no, that's- I've never heard that. You guys made that up. Then I mentally checked my head and went, wait, no, someone said that in a punisher. It's in the wire. It's in season five of the wire.

I can only imagine. But yeah, fair warning. If you want to keep being racist- If you just love it. If you just love it, exactly. It's a big world. It's a word that bookends some really bad statements, you know. But sometimes I don't understand what you're saying.

It's like when someone actually buys a pet monkey and puts it on their porch. Yeah. Wait, why? It's an innocent person. It's like, no, what is that? Totally, right? But then if you were to overhear that description in like a McDonald's- Yeah, yeah.

You got a problem. How do you see my new porch monkey? I'm just like, I'm sorry, what? No, look, he's a door. I'm just like, oh. Don't worry. That's unfortunate. Don't worry.

We're taking it back. Yeah, we're taking it back. Get the fuck out of here, Randall. That's the best scene in clerks. No, the best scene in clerks is just when the camera pans and you see his jacket just says porch monkey for life. That was amazing. Because one thing that you learn, let's say that black people learn is like, you want

to know what the word for nigger is in every language. There's a lot. There's a lot. Speak the language. There are multiple per language. Exactly. So you know what they are. You listen out for just that word.

I can't speak Italian, but I'm pretty sure that guy doesn't like it. You know, just to know where you're standing and what's going on. And yeah, that's one of them. There's a lot of tech behind that word. That's another urban youth tip from Wally. There you go. Wally's guide to surviving the urban jungle, the concrete jungle. The concrete jungle.

There you go. I want to welcome everybody to episode 80 of the podcast. I was wondering, it's today. It's racist. That's correct. We are slowly but surely catching up on Dark Souls LP episodes. Yeah, that's the one. We're right about to overtake the Dark Souls LP.

Yeah, but that thing wasn't one a week. That was like five times a week at some point. Yeah, of course. A scholar of the first sins out in April. Fucking boo. It's never too late to make it 90 plus. Fucking boo, man. The way you'll know is this is like super behind the scenes, but when you go to the website

and click on the background and click on the most used tag. Yeah, and like Dark Souls is number one and Friendcast is number two. One day. One day. It's going to be an uncomfortable switch. How'd you guys spend the weeks and then the Valentine's weekend? Since Matt, since Matt, I'm looking at Pat. He's looking at me.

Since Pat's darling finally came to him. I think Pat can speak about his amazing week with his love. Yeah, so I've been playing a lot of Monster Hunter, right? Like a lot. I got a review copy. Thanks. Who fucking sent us that? Capcom.

Yeah, Capcom. No, no, no. Our good friend Fred. Fred. Thanks, Fred. I appreciate it. Yo, that game's really good. It's quite good.

And not just like from a fanboy of the series good. They did a lot to this game to make it not a fucking nightmare to play like the earlier ones. Did you play the earlier ones? Yeah, absolutely. What was the time to Monster? You guys have your joke about Time to Crate, right? Yeah. Time to Monster in 3U was like five hours.

I thought that, yeah. Yeah, the first five hours in 3U was the streamlines. You just fight trash monsters. You fight trash monsters or you get mushrooms or herbs or you learn how to make a mega potion or something like that. And in 2, they didn't even give you a set of starting armor or any of the weapons except for the sword and shield. See, that makes me feel like with the conversation we had about Xenoblade Chronicles where it's

like, when do you get the mech? Okay, you want it right away, but you really want it like halfway through the game. You know, I feel about this. But it's not called get mech game. It's called Xenoblade Monster Hunter. It was this kind of thing where it's like you could blow a whole fucking afternoon, a whole Saturday afternoon on the game and not even get to a single monster and you'd go, fuck this.

You could probably do it in like three hours. I know. When I did it, I was like, okay, it's five quests and it's, I mean, for like a newcomer. If you're reading all the text, it's like 90 minutes, which is better, but yeah. But I mean, for someone like totally new. Yeah. Within three hours, you will be getting those ballsy. And they've made, they fucking made the effort to finally give tutorials for how the weapons

work, which the series has never, ever had. Like imagine if Arkham Knight comes out and it's time to punch. Yeah. And it's four hours until you punch a single guy. Well, the parents have to die first. Parents have to die first. Exactly. So you start doing the Kid Icarus Uprising like quote unquote tutorial of using your weapons,

which is here's this empty room. Grab this weapon, try it out in all its ranges. Here's everything you need to know about it. Monster Hunter tries to do that. Because when you press start, there's a little cutscene and then you fight one of the biggest things. Like the physically largest monster in the entire game as the tutorial. It's kind of like a fake fight.

Yeah. It's not real, but it's like, hey, here's how to look up. Here's how to look down. The cynic in me would say that certain people, if they didn't like Monster Hunter, would call it like a quick time event style battle, where it's almost just like you go through the motions and you win. It's not quite what I see when you should. Like you just go through the motions and you win.

It's not a real fight. Yeah, exactly. It's a tutorial scripted thing. It's heavily cinematic. Yes, actually. But then you get to the real fight later and you just do all that stuff for realsies. So it's not like lying to you. It's just like, here little baby, here's a little taste of what will happen later.

There's a story now and it sucks. It does. It sucks. I'm really disappointed with how hard it sucks, actually. It's really stupid and whatever, but who cares? At least it's there now. You know, it's like, at least it's there. And I always complain that I wish there were stories in hunting games.

But now that it's here and it's bad, I'm like, wait, why? Why is it bad? Like, why couldn't it be demon? Because it's their first day. Making a story. Making a story. It's their first day making a story. So I only play two and three and the story of two is you're walking along a snowy path

and a monster fucks you up and you break your legs or some shit. And then they nurse you back to health and you're like, I'm gonna get it. And then you're like, I'm gonna hunt the lower stuff till I'm good. That's the whole fucking plot. And in three, it's, hey man, there's some kind of ecological disaster. We think that big crocodile thing's doing it. And then you kill it. And then he's like, no man, it's not the big crocodile.

It's the underwater super drag. He's behind that hundreds of monsters. And then you beat that and then the story's over. And he just says, well, okay, we'll go find a bigger one, I guess. There's no story. There's effectively nothing. If you're trying to make your game more accessible, the cork board mission only style game is not going to fly. So at least they put something.

They said, okay, you got this town has pro. It's like, it feels like a super, like a subpar Super Nintendo RPG where you go talk to somebody and they're like, oh man, I can't get home because there's stupid great jaggies in my way. And you literally have a little pop up that says you get a quest. Yeah, and you go fuck them up. I'm late for my date. And then your main guy, your caravan's like, oh, we got to build an airship or fucking whatever. So kill this guy to get the whatever.

So fine. The only thing the story succeeds at is there's actually finally like a villain in the game. Kind of, yeah. Like the monster on the box called Gormagala, it's basically... Is it a human sized monster? No. Is it a human that slowly walks through? Is it a human that is taking monster parts for bad reasons?

No, no, no. It's the monster who's getting worked on the box art. Yeah. Okay. It's just constantly just leaking evil, I guess you would say. Dude, it's garbage. They call it... I thought it was just like a Lugia Ho Ho thing.

Ho Ho thing. No, no. They call it the frenzy virus and it has gameplay ramifications. But basically it's a big evil dragon. Rage. But they actually do something good with it where it just attacks you throughout the story. Like when you move from town... There's like Nemesis.

Kind of. Where you move from town one to two. No, sorry, two to three you go on a boat and he fucks your boat up and you have to repel him. You cannot defeat it. And you go, oh Jesus Christ. Then later they bring in like a team of ringers to fuck it up and they botch it. They're like, okay, well you do it. And you have to actually...

It's both the best and worst part of the whole game because it's an escort mission. In which you have to defend the other guys from that. And then later you realize, no wait, he's actually a fucking day of thick being and you fight him in an arena and Scott... It's a huge boss fight. So that's nice, but who cares? There's so many. It's like a story in porn. A little bit.

A little bit, yeah. It's nice that it's there. I like that there's a boss fight. I like that there's two of it. I like a little bit of intrigue to mine. I like that there's a boss fight. I wish they could at least be good stories. And for people that have been playing the games, there's a lot more improvements than for people that haven't been playing.

Yeah, without a doubt. Like there's a lot of surface level stuff. Like there's a story, there's different towns, there's some UI stuff that got cleaned up. But certain things like they've instituted something called item sets now where it used to be... Okay, you go in with your wet stones and your rations and your paintballs and your bombs and everything that you use to do a hunt, right? And then you do the quest and you're like, great. Now you go back to your item box and they're like, okay, fill up on potions, fill up on paintballs, fill up on bombs. And it was annoying.

It wasted a lot of time. It sucks. It was a complete waste of time. But they finally made it so you can just set, like, this is the item set A that has all of this shit. And it'll restock you as well as you have. And now before you leave, just double tap A on the item box and it'll just refill all your shit. And it'll also take all the shit you picked up out of your inventory and bank it. There's a lot of little stuff like that.

How do you like the new weapons? I mean, they're good. I think they're the two best weapons in the entire game. The insect rod's like pretty intricate. But it's so confusing. And it's really fun. Why is it so confusing? I think they're about as good as the rest of the weapons, to be honest, which they're good.

Yeah, they're good. They're fun. And I'm more in love with the jumping and climbing and the verticality of the game, which they've really improved on. So I talked to Matt about this last week off camera, and woolly, you probably have no idea. But in the last game, so Monster Hunter 1 and 2, it's just you're on the ground and you're on a flat plane and you're fucking up monsters. That's it. Pretty much every Monster Hunter game is flat. So 3, they said, hey man, we're gonna add swimming. Yeah, you told me about that. So when swimming, where'd that go?

There's gonna be underwater monsters and it's gonna be a 360 movement and you move at half your movement speed and you can't see how far away the monster is. And your attacks are super slow. Every single fucking fight with those is terrible. Every single fucking one. Plesioth is the worst. And when you told me that, I was like, that sucks, because all the art and promotional stuff for Try would look really cool. Yeah. Underwater Try.

A lot of their designs are awesome. Yeah, like Water Monster Dragons is awesome. And it sucks. It sucks so bad. Every, like, and so one of them, the flagship monster, the crocodile in the fucking box, the guy, Chris, his stuff is some of the best stuff in the game. He's the coolest guy. But it sucks to get. Even Wander figured out that you gotta stab him while he's out of the water. Yeah, exactly.

So that's gone. They fucking gave up, they completely ripped all that shit out of the game. They cut that at Portable Third, right? Yeah, they cut it at Portable Third. They removed all the water monsters from the game as well. They're all just completely gone. And they replaced it with climbing and jumping. Which is awesome. Which, Liam, it works well and I feel like it adds more to the identity of Monster Hunter. Because I think, prior to this one, Monster Hunter was kind of seen as the template game a little bit.

It was mainly built like an arena battler. Yeah, and all these new hunting games came out and did interesting things, and Monster Hunter was kind of left. It was great, it was really great, but it didn't have any super interesting things. Imagine if Fatal Fury was the game that invented super moves. And, like, super turbo. No, it invented the line system. Right, sure. The member of the line system.

Remember? But now that you can climb, now that the arena... The world is vertical and you're jumping and hopping on the monsters and stuff. Yeah, nearly every single stage is now, like, huge amounts of... They've got a mountain in them and shit. Very, very detailed. It adds a lot of life to it. It adds a lot of life to it.

People from Monster Hunter 4, since that has even more of that stuff, like climbing... It's only in 4. It's only in 4. It's 4's new feature. Oh, okay, sorry. And, like, not just, like, from a gameplay perspective, like... Do monsters fall down less when you smack their legs? It feels like they do. I'm not sure. Because mounting Knox a monster down for 15 seconds, you just wail on that fucker until they're dead.

But even from, like, a visual standpoint, like, they had desert environments in every single game. But because it had to be flat, there was not a single sand dune in the entire series. Very exciting, yeah. Right, but now the very first goddamn room in the desert is a huge dune that you're fighting the thing on, like, this sharp incline. Is the climbing, like, Dragon's Dogma-esque? No. Basically, it's you do a jumping attack, and you hit its body, and then you go into a, uh, kind of shadow-the-clossest-on minigame, where it's trying to throw you off, so you hold on, and then when it's not trying to throw you off, because it's tired, you stab it. It's just grip and stab.

Grip and stab. Yeah, exactly. It's fast, and it works really, really well. And if you're playing online for fuck's sake, stop attacking the monster when somebody is on it. Stop. Because if you do enough damage to cause the thing to flinch, the person gets thrown off. God forbid they get flown off into a loading screen. Yeah, which is probably the most worst.

So, Monster Hunter has all these discrete areas, it has area 1, 2, 3, and they're all attached to each other. By loading screens. You get thrown into the zone to trigger them. But the monsters don't. So it used to be that the biggest annoyance was when, like, Gobble or something would just hang out behind the zone wall. Like, physically behind the zone wall, and you would go to hit them, and you would teleport the instant you reached them. And that was annoying. But now, with the thrashing and the throwing off shit, it's way worse, because monsters will thrash around so hard that even though you were in the middle of the stage,

they touch the wall, and then you teleport into the next area. It's great. It's like the end shooting you from zone 2, but you go to approach them in zone 2 and it's like, no, he's actually in zone 1. That's horrible. And it is. I saw it from a couple, I played online last night for the first time with Randos. Yeah. Well, actually they were from the Best Friends Reddit, but the online play is perfect.

It's completely smooth. With your internet. Yeah, my internet. And there's finally a goddamn option that you just say, add friends from this room. So thank God. And it's just really good. If you liked it, it has the most of anything by a huge margin. That's like 30% more than any other game.

Yeah, if you aren't super into Monster Hunter, I don't think it'll sell you on it again. Like if you've already been turned off, kind of, because I know it didn't really sell me again. It's definitely the best one. And if you've never played Monster Hunter, or if you like other hunting games, definitely try it. You know who I would recommend this to? Everyone who was into the idea of Destiny and who was disappointed by Destiny. By Destiny. Because Destiny wanted a shooter.

Well, no, no. The setting and the genre. No, the idea. The genre. That's what I mean. And I don't mean the genre of your perspective or your movement or any of that. I mean, Destiny was supposed to be the single player MMO, right? It was supposed to be, you're going to do dungeon runs and it'd be a loot crawl.

Well, this is the best loot crawl that exists. And it's a really, it's a, I'd say it's halfway between like final fight brolling and character action in terms of... In terms of death? In terms of death? No, it's all about pokes. It's all about pokes. It's all about pokes. You know what I mean?

Actions. Like, you never juggle anything. You know what I mean? What are your defensive options? Oh, your defensive block. It depends. Roll block. Alright.

Action. It's a really good action game. And anyone who wants to try a fucking good ass hunting game, try it. If you haven't been sold on Monster Hunter in the past, you might not, it might not win you over. But if you've never played Monster Hunter in the past, you'll at least love it for 30 hours. 30 at least. At least 30 hours. To do the...

At least a tutorial. Yes, exactly. To make up your mind. So here's the thing. Like people, like you say you're joking about 30 hours to beat the tutorial. It actually took me 54 hours to beat the tutorial. Because the entirety of, there's the three things. Low rank where you only fight 25 monsters, or 26 or 27.

Then a higher rank where you fight most of the others, but they're way tougher. And then G rank where you fight everything, but it's, fuck yourself hard. Dumb, dumb hard. Low rank is, took me 54 hours, and that's the tutorial. Quite a quote. That's the start. Because I remember... That's for babies.

I remember when Yahtzee reviewed Shry and he was like, fuck this game. I never got anywhere. What's the appeal? And I played this thing for fucking 10 hours. All the angry comments were like, congratulations. Game starts at 50. Congratulations, you didn't press start yet. Which in all fairness, isn't really a fair thing to say to people.

You remember for 3 U when I said I spent almost 200 and we got a wash of comments saying you fucking casual. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you imagine a fucking title screen? 54 hours since you were gay? Oh, Kunk, you should have done it. Like just... Now you press start like, fuck.

That's awesome. I love a game like that. The other thing, the final thing I want to say is that I played most of those hours on the old 3DS XL. The new one, you have the circle knob and that's nice. Yeah, that's good. But the target lock stuff for the old one, Control-Wise works fine. But that game looks and runs way, way, way better on the new one.

Like the textures are like four or five times the resolution. And the frame rate is almost double. Is the demo available publicly? Yes. Yeah. So download the demo. Yeah. Sure.

Demo's good. Good ass game. It's good. Can you transfer your ship from the demo? No, because there's nothing to transfer. Oh, okay. You don't need to look. You don't need to look.

So what else do you do, Liam? Oh, wait, no. Are we still on me? We're still on you. Okay, fine. So I watched all 6 Rocky movies. It's a good way to spend the afternoon. Yeah, no.

I just said, ah, fuck it. I'll just watch Rocky. Yeah. So I always thought, ah, because no one's good at telling you what the Rocky movies actually are. Because whenever anyone talks about Rocky, all they talk about is the time that he fought Drago. That's literally the only piece of the Rocky narrative.

People talk about Clover Lang. Clover Lang. But what I mean is, is that every... What about Tommy the machine? Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Let me get there. What got me is that everyone, when they talk about Rocky, they talk about, ah, the fight.

The fight. The fight is like 5 fucking percent of these movies. And it's terrible. The fights are awful. They're on there. They're so bad. They're so bad. And there's so bad.

Rocky 4 has a great fight. And Rocky Balboa has some good fights. Those two are good fights. Those are the ones. The rest is the most... Oh, yeah. No one has a garden. No one has a garden.

Make a web app of Sylvester Stallone's face. He's going, ah, leading backwards. Getting punched and not putting up spooks. Why he talks like that? No, he got punched. No, he talks like that because they pulled him out of his mom's vagina with the fucking forceps. Right, or sure.

They cut his neck, shit. You're looking at, you're watching the movies going, just fucking peek-a-boo. Just put them up. When I said to somebody that I was watching it, they're like, you should've watched Epo and Rocky in reverse order because it's going to be fucking hard to watch. And they were right. But fuck the boxing. It's not about boxing.

Remove the boxing entirely. I did not know... It's all about the training. I did not know that Rocky won Academy Awards. Oh, yeah. I did everything. I did not know that Rocky was like a realsy legit film. Yeah.

Because, well, because all everything I've ever seen is the animated gifts of fucking Drago and the public language. It's because it got turned into a cartoony farce. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Rocky wanted to are fucking amazing. They are, like, amazing films. Just don't expect actual boxing.

And Rocky as a protagonist, like, I finally get it. All I knew is that he talked like... I didn't know that he was the nicest guy in the world. The nicest guy. And his whole fucking neighborhood is behind him. I didn't know that he was kind of an idiot. But he's still the nicest guy. He does not say one mean thing to a single person.

No, because you got to stay positive. He doesn't say a mean thing to Lang. He doesn't say a mean thing to Drago. Drago? He doesn't say it. No, he doesn't say... He's not nice to Drago or Klobber, but he's not, like, friendly with them at the very least. Yeah, but, like, there's this bit in Rocky, too, where Apollo Creed's going crazy and talking

about shit you have ever seen. And they say, well, how do you feel about the champ, Rock? Do you think he'd be in it? He goes, I don't know. He looks pretty mad. It's like... Yeah. He's just like Rocky.

Klobber, yeah, right? Our friend Rocky. He's just like this. He really is. Does, like, some of the bits with Sendoh now make sense to you? Yes. Yes, it does. Yes, it does.

But Ivan Drago, like, despite murdering a man, is not nearly the amount of a heel that Klobber Lang is. He's just full of lines of, hey, woman, hey, woman, welcome to my apartment. So you go, real, man, it's like, and back then, to Philadelphia, people from fucking Philadelphia, that is the worst thing you can say. Especially to a fucking huge macho Italian guy. Exactly. And you don't do that shit. That mooly said, what?

That's the usage of the word. Rocky would never say that. No, he would not say that. Since you watch all of them, I don't like the transformation of Adrian being this geeky, like, library girl. It's just something becoming like a supermodel towards the end. That happens, like, within one movie. Between two and three or something.

Yeah. In one, she is shy to an absurd degree. Yeah. People like that are everywhere. Two, she's getting over it. Three, she's totally over it. And that's my favorite moment in three, where she gets all up in Rocky's fucking face and just screams at him on the beach.

Yeah. Stop. Stop it. Great. And then in four, when she's like, oh, oh, the money. Where'd it go? Well, no. Where's our robot?

No, she doesn't. That's not it. No, she's not. Yeah, Liam's probably laughing, but they have a robot. The robot scene happened. Come on. No, no, no. But her going, like, she's yelling at Pauly because he lost all the money.

Oh, my fucking god. Oh, my fucking god. Pauly is the worst character. He is the worst piece of shit I've ever seen in a film. All up until the last movie. Like, even in the last movie, he's like, ah, you're living in yesterday, rock. And I'm like, oh, you're just the new Mickey because Burgess Meredith died. Well, of course, unfortunately, so we can have Mickey back there.

Fucking dirt bag, like, woman beating racist piece of garbage. And then every now and then, like, once every two movies, there's a moment where Pauly is like, ah, no, I'm crap, rock. And you're like, that's supposed to make up with the fact that you, like, smacked Adrian around, lost millions of dollars. That weren't yours. Are an outrageous racist to everyone in the movie. Great character.

Great character. Great character. Now, did you go and watch the Lipton Ice Tea commercials as well and fit those into the timeline? Because that's canon. That's canon. I'm not sure between which movies they fit in, but they're canon. What was Hulk Hogan's name?

Thunder Lips. A little bit. And I'm looking at this and like, this is some outrageous shit. Wait a second. K-Fabe existed back at this time. It did. So it had to be, it had to be, like, rocks off. So Hulk Hogan got a lot of, a lot of guff for even being in that movie because that was

like, that was a taboo. Like, wrestlers don't go in movies. You have to stay in the business. Yeah. Yeah. So the- Suburban Commando says other ones. Well, that was a 94.

So here's something that- This was like 84. I didn't, I didn't know anything about Rocky at all, clearly. But I did know that Rocky V was a piece of shit. Everyone- Oh, you didn't know that. No, I knew that. Oh, okay.

That's the only thing I knew. Is that Rocky 1, 2, 3, 4 are great. And then Rocky V is a fucking piece of garbage. I don't think it's that bad. It's the worst movie. I think it's the worst movie. In the series. But I think it's just at the bottom of the list.

Yeah, but that's accurate. And I think that people's rage over the fact that it ends with a street fight. Are actually paying attention to what's happening in that movie. Because the instant that Rocky convinces Tommy to walk out the door into a street fight. And not a match, Rocky wins. That's his victory. Yeah. But it breaks like the previous four movies tradition.

Well, it was supposed to be the finale. So I guess that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, so like, well, I, okay, I didn't see Balboa. But I, all I heard about it was that it's like, this is not the Rambo. Like, like final movie type of thing. Or like, this is the right send off. So, Rocky.

Okay. You remember me and you talking like maybe five years ago about Batman Beyond. Yeah. Batman Beyond. I never watched it. And you told me, Pat, you got to watch it. I mean, why? It's fucking shit.

And you go, no, it should be shit. Batman Beyond should be the worst thing ever. Yeah. Because you watch that fucking intro with the techno shit. And then it's fucking awesome. Rocky Balboa is the Batman Beyond of the Rocky series. Okay. This movie should be trash.

Okay. The idea that Rocky, it is fucking 60s. You know the reason why he was even created Rocky Balboa is because Sylvester Stallone said, I felt so bad that we let everyone down with Rocky Five and it was not the proper send off. Yeah. And he's like, this has to be it. And that's why like, Sylvester Stallone directed it, wrote it, started it, did everything.

He built his confidence really to adjust. Whereas Rocky Five was directed by some other guy. Rocky Balboa is fucking great. I couldn't believe how good it was. Although his son is a shit, like just the actor. Oh, fuck his stupid son. Like, remember, his son in Rocky Five was his real life son. Yeah.

Right? And in the Rocky, like what happened, whereas in Rocky Balboa, he couldn't get a son. His son wouldn't be in it anymore. Oh, no. And his son has a weird name. His name is like Blood Moon Brother or some shit. Well, he's a little punchy probably. Blood Moon Good God.

Imagine if Mickey, imagine Mickey is giving Rocky advice in between the ramps. And he's like, ah, you got it. You got it, crap. And then a guy goes, seconds out. And he's like, ah, fuck you, you chap. I'm gonna do this. And then there's no seconds out. Seconds out.

So, and the bell has run. After Rocky One, I went to Wiki to find out when did this movie come out. It came out in fucking 75. Yeah. Bergus Meredith in fucking 75 is the oldest man in the world. And that was 40 years ago. He's stuck around. He's stuck around.

He was around till like 95 or eight or something. And you look at him and grump your old man. And he's just gotten smaller. Yeah. It is the oldest man in the world. It's unbelievable. That's how you live. That's how you stay strong.

He was the voice of one of the main villains in the G.I. Joe animated movie. Like Globuloslus or whatever. And Orson Welles, if you recall. Yeah, that's right. Orson Welles was a unicorn. Yeah, that's right. Oh my god, really? See, in his later life, he became quite large.

They got Leonard Nemo. And then they played a planet. They got Orson Welles. They got Leonard Nemo. They got all kinds of things. Galvatron kicks ass. It's fine. You can do whatever the fuck you want.

Robert Stack isn't that fucking crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, it's ultra-magnus. Starstutter. So yeah, that's Rocky. I also watched about, I don't know, seven, eight episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Yeah. I'm finally in it.

Watching that show is like having a panic attack. It's the most awkward show in the world. I watched eight episodes. I think it took me an entire day because I kept having to pause it and go, oh god. I can't even. Just Curb. Liam Curb is kind of like American, what's her name? Red Green.

No. No, that anime where the girl is like always concerned about being awkward. I watched earlier the sweetest. The anime where the girl is awkward. It's your fault. I'm not popular. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Yeah. I thought all of them. I thought most of them because it's a good show in life. Like it's live-action. I thought stuff like Always Sunny or Peep Show were hard to watch because they were awkward. Oh no. But fucking Curb will just let shit sit there for minutes as everyone just awkwardly lies around them.

Always Sunny is like watching Ponyo compared to fucking Curb. It's such an easy watch. Although there's only one thing that goes further in terms of just like gut rendering awkward. Seriously? Oh god, was it? British Office. Yeah, British Office is up there.

British Office is up there. King of painful. I want to watch it now. I know you want to watch it now. It's six episodes. It's super short. The bile in your fucking stomach turns, man. And they hold it.

They keep the camera there. You have to hold it. You can't go. You can't look away. If you let go, you're weak. The other thing is I got a new 3DS, but we all want to do like a round table thing. Yeah. Sure.

Okay, we'll do that at the end. What's up, man? Not much. I had a good Valentine's weekend in the States. It was a good time. In the States? I went to New York State. Oh, that's right over there.

How was the journey? How was the journey? Not fun. We had to fucking bring her dog and cat. That's a bad idea. Oh my god. Cats don't know how to shut up when you tell them to shut up. No, they don't.

They just keep meowing. I don't even listen to this. I tell you. Why does anyone buy cats? Because they love them. It was the worst. Because they can live in apartments that don't like them. I had a great weekend, though, and my girlfriend bought me this little stuffed animal that

sings songs when you squeeze it because she loves that kind of mushy teddy rucks pin. You know that Hallmark shit where you get like a Hallmark stuffed animal? Yeah, where it sings a song. Yeah. It's cute. Is she listening to the podcast? Yeah. I love you.

I had a great weekend, though. I had a really good time with her. I played separate from that weekend. I played Criminal Girls a bunch more. I can't fucking... Just straight through it. Just straight through it. It's the jump from actual romantic weekend to dangerous romantic weekend.

I'm like 30 hours in. I think I'm almost done. I'd say you're done, all right. It's better than I expected. It's significantly better than the Neptunia games, and I'd say the percentage of garbage shit there is in it is probably like 5%. Okay. It's better than I expected.

Did they not market it based on that garbage? They did. Okay, so it's not one of those things where like, did we all just latch onto it, or did they actually push it? Yeah, no, it was actually pushed at least a little bit. But it's actually surprisingly legit, but it's still anime, like Weaboo trash. Oh, yeah. You know, Steve, your expectations.

Wait, we need some kind of rating system purely for Weaboo trash. Like, outside of the game's quality, like how trashy is this? Yeah, yeah. That's a good system we have to get on top of. And what would the top be? Would it be Monster Monty's? Cup sizes. No.

Because I think like, I think Rape Lay is like the top. That's not a real game. But then there's characters like that. The go from Valkyrie Chronicles. Right? The go from Valkyrie Chronicles, yeah. That would probably be like a one or something. But it's like, it's a legit game.

Otherwise legit game, but there's this thing. It's watermelon. Here's the beef you require. That's probably like a one or something. You work your way up from there. From there, yeah. That's true, that's true. Otherwise, I beat another game that I'm not going to talk about because I can't, but I

really liked it. And I started playing Majora's Mask. And that game is... I didn't even load it up yet. I should do that. That is such a good remake. I've never finished it, but I've played the beginning to the fourth dungeon and beat Gaut and everything.

Nice. That's a good run. So I, no, no, sorry. I've done that in the past. I haven't done that yet on the three games. That should do it. Okay, okay. And I've done the beginning up to Odolwa like so many times.

I never had an N64. I'd always play it with my cousins and start over and stuff. I remember that bit really well and like, holy shit, this remake is like way better than the Ocarina one. I have a quick interjection question. It's been since like maybe when I downloaded the Virtual Console version when the Wii came out. But even before you get turned into a Deku scrub, when you're a young Link and you do

platforming, did he always do cool backflips and cartwheels? I was saying... I don't remember that at all. I was saying to Willie just the other week, when you're on those logs at the very beginning and you have to do the jumps and he does front flips and shit, that was the moment where I was like, oh my God, this is a fucking shit. Because all I, when I think about when I played it as a kid, all you can remember is when you're not Link and you're on the other form.

So I couldn't remember what you did as a regular Link. I was like, holy shit. I was like flip all over the place. The animation looked awesome. It was going away. The Bomber's Notebook, I was worried that it kind of like gave too much away or something in the way that it's done. It's great.

It's not at all. It doesn't give too much away. That's the one that it's like the side quest journal for all the time. It's basically just like, okay, you gave the moon tier to the Deku guy and he goes away. Let me mark that on your journal that you did that. And they don't tell you what the next step is. They just say you did this and then when you do the next one, they put it next to it so that you know, like if you have to redo it because you missed the last one.

That's awesome. I don't want to spoil anything, but like... Of course. That's a fucking chain of events, man. No, I'm aware. I'm aware. Okay. I do like everything about this.

A feature like that also greatly helps when you've been away from the game for a while. Naturally. And you don't remember what you did. For sure. It's always great. I was worried it would be too much of a giveaway, but it's totally not. Apparently there's a... The only weird thing is that you get the Bomber's Journal from the Happy Mask Man.

Right away? After you get the Ocarina and you do the first time loop, he says, oh, I found this journal. You can have it. It's like, wait, I had to do the Bomber's thing to get here. Why didn't the Bombers just give it to me? I'm really not sold out. Okay. I think that's really weird.

Here's a feature. But it was an old game and the Bombers gave it to you. Oh, then that's really... They just changed the guy who gives it to you and it makes less... Why is it called the Bomber's Journal? The Happy Mask Guy gives it to you. Because he found it on the ground. The Bombers dropped shit all over the place.

And I guess the only other thing... It's not actually a problem. It's not a problem. It just irked me a little when I saw it. The Happy Mask Guy points over to the Sheikah Stone and says, hey, if ever you get stuck or need a tip, the Sheikah Stone will tell you how to beat the game over there. And then the camera pans over and it's like, just let me... Don't hit it.

Just don't hit it. You have to crawl in. It's a Sheikah tunnel. You know, they didn't get much play in the original, so they amped up their usage. They didn't exist. The stones that you hit. They literally show you video tutorials of every section of the game. Wait, wait, no, no, no. I was talking about...

You're thinking of the original stones. You're thinking of the, what are they called? Not Curiosity. The ones that you hit. Yeah, the ones that you hit. No, the Sheikah Stones. No, no, this was in Ocarina of Time as well. They were in Ocarina of Time as well, yeah. The Ocarina of Time would make...

You crawl into them and you watch like... This is some super god shit. It's like, hey, I'm stuck. It's literally super god shit. Hey, I'm stuck. Advance me. And then they tell you how to advance. But otherwise, the remake is stellar. Some of the stuff they did, like putting the bank at the back of clock tower is really smart,

and it's just a good change. Yeah, yeah. Saving anywhere is really practical. I know a lot of people are sticklers for it, but I can't tell them that it's super practical. It's handheld, man. It's super practical. Like, if it was a console remake, I'd be like, keep it as it was. Yeah.

But if you're fucking traveling with this thing... Exactly. Or it's going to die. I found it practical on the metrogaster. I guess there's a new song of time or some shit that makes things a lot easier. What does it do? You can set it instead of to a specific day. You can set it to a specific hour.

Oh, it's the one... The song of not double time, but the one that lets you jump forward to the next day. Yeah. What was that one? It lets you now pick what time you go to instead. Oh, wow. You can specify... Oh, God.

Because that seems like a huge deal. I'm not there or I don't know the song correctly. Exactly. So, yeah. I'm kind of waiting to grab the box bundle and... Oh, you're going to really sit on it until you can get the... Well, because I was going to grab the digital and stuff and then, like, I was like, let me get the box bundle, but expenses, unexpected, have occurred.

Whatever. There are trips. We're never going to get it now. Yeah, you're done. No, he's going to do the thing he did for... No, it's just... I'm going to get it. Or he...

As long as you know it's going to be stupid. I'm going to get it, but it's going to be stupid. Where it takes some four months to e-bit and then he never plays it. He can't play it. Oh, that's... Yeah, so that game was really good. My new 3DS didn't show up because Amazon has a history of having issues with Nintendo hardware.

They sure do. Which is weird considering, like, you'd think Nintendo would want to be all over that. It's because of the fucking hinge thing for the... I think it was... The DS or the original 3DS. The original 3DS. Well, you know, they had that tendency to crack hinges? Yeah.

And Nintendo told them, nah, refunds on you. Really? And ever since... I could buy that. And ever since then, Amazon has either not stocked in Nintendo stuff or stocked them exclusively through other sellers because they don't want to deal with Nintendo. Either way, my new 3DS should be showing up this week, so I'll have a nice benchmark of Majora's Mask to compare.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I'm already missing not having the nub. Yeah? Because I was playing a lot of games on my Japanese ones. And that was more or less what I did this week. Well, not you, man. It's your big feet. My big, giant feet.

Yeah, well, maybe we'll see you on the podcast video, my big, giant feet. We'll see. I watched... Like, I didn't know, but it's like two episodes of Parks and Rec Season 7 every week. They release it. Wow, really? Two. So every week...

That's odd? Very odd. And I'm like, we just watched the new Parks and Rec. Awesome. There's another one out today, too. What? And it's really strange, but I'm going on that right now. It's getting really good, but you can feel that this is the last, like you know it's

the last season, but the characters that have never gotten stuff are getting stuff. Like Donna never got an episode about Donna ever. Was Donna? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, she's the Black Lady. Black Lady. Treat yourself.

So she's finally, she finally got an episode that was about her and her family, for example. Jerry actually gets an episode where someone is nice to Jerry the entire way. No, that's shark jumping. That's bullshit. But it was only one person, like one person was nice to him and no one gets to see the nice thing. And so it's an isolated thing that'll never happen. It's not like an episode all about him and he becomes the champion or whatever.

It's a secret touching moment. Yeah, exactly. So that's really good. And in the reverse of that, I watched probably one of the worst things I've ever seen and you'll all give me a sign. Is it your own birth? That was actually really hype because you wouldn't be born if I wasn't born, I think. Wait, damn.

What are you implying? Damn lines of the San Juan. You got sudd, my friend. You just got sudd. It's been a while, but it happened. I literally don't know what's happening. The heavenly sword, the CG movie. You clicked the fucking, you did it.

You did it. Because I'm doing it. It's a gem, isn't it? I'm not doing it for a video, obviously, because why would anyone subject themselves to that? It is the worst thing I have ever seen. Now we're going to watch it. Damn it. I don't know.

Is it part of the Ukraine team or something? It was made by someone incompetent. Yeah, because it, like, the production value is like zero. Those are not made by the same people that did the Sly Cooper thing. It might have been financed by that. I don't know how they scam decent actors like Thomas Jane being in that thing. Oh, yeah? There's decent actors in there.

And it's like, you look at it, and when I looked at, like, the original heavenly sword, this is the most European looking thing ever. The way the characters are designed and the way they, like, the way their proportions are. Shocker. It's done in Europe. It's shocker. It's done in Europe, but it's like, there's something off about it. Like, a lot of CG animated movies, and when they come from Europe, they're often not very great looking.

The character designs always take these weird proportions that I never feel look attractive at all. They don't look appealing. I think what you're trying to say is the art is bad. The art is bad. Yes. Almost everything about this movie is really bad. Well, hey, look, when you take shit and you temper that shit, you have tempered shit. But it's like, it's like Heavenly Swords of Five on a good day.

This movie struggles to be a one. Like, this movie is really bad. It has to work hard to become a failure. Yeah. Right? So, I subjected myself to that. It was not a good time. Is that any circus involved?

I didn't, I didn't, I, as soon as I knew it, as soon as I knew what the ending was, I kind of turned it off. I didn't look at the credits or anything. Yeah, I got the new 3DS as well. I downloaded a bunch of shit that I had been neglecting to, like Moon Chronicles, that Moon Chronicles, Xeo Drifter,

which is actually, between that and Majora, I was like, ooh, which one? I don't know. Xeo Drifter is actually really good. You can really pick it up. Metroidvania. I know, I know, I know, I'm well aware.

Really tough too. Really tough. And it's like Metroidvania, but really condensed. Like, it's really tight and you don't wander around too much, but you wander around just enough that you're like, oh, I can directly go there with this new thing. Nice. And it's very hard to forget.

It's very hard to, like, sort of not be on track. Right, I follow you. If you're interested, Dante and Retro City Rampage on 3DS are getting patched to have the second stick and the ZLZR stuff. So did Moon Chronicles as well. Oh, no kidding.

I was playing Moon Chronicles with that and it feels pretty fucking good. Cool, cool. It's a little snappy when you get close to an enemy and then it just kind of snaps on the enemy for a bit. Like Auto Lock kind of thing. Moon Chronicles is weird, because when I played on the DS,

I didn't like it too much, because while it had this scary, sort of isolated Metroid vibe, it also, like, the enemies were, like, the most generic robot orb floating things. Yeah, I get you. But the game's still, like, and the 3DS kind of remake Moon Chronicles.

Like, it still looks good and it looks way better than the DS version. So I enjoyed that a lot. Not to sort of, like, if you like Valentine's Day, it's great. I'm glad you guys had a nice Valentine's weekend, for example, Liam. But Valentine's Day, it's totally meaningless.

It's a bullshit holiday. It means nothing. And I kind of, we did this last year where we had an Anti-Valentine's Day week, because no one tells us when to tell each other that we love each other. Right? Okay.

Because it's the 14th, we don't do anything. We do everything on the 13th, and then the 15th. You sound like my dad. You tell him, man. I just mean, Go get the man.

Fuck you, world! Don't tell me what I'm going to do with my penis! When we were in it. Or how it should smell. When we were in the mall, it was just voracious. You see desperate guys running around, getting chocolates and rubbers.

Yeah. I'm a fan of the selfies. You put the chocolate in the rubber. Don't do it in the other way. I'm a fan of the selfies, or not selfies, but you see someone taking a photo of an aisle of hard chocolates

and then just giving the middle finger to it, because you're single. Yeah. Those pictures are great. It's also a holiday that excludes a huge amount of people that make them feel bad. You can still buy the chocolates.

You can still buy the chocolates. Especially if it's a discount in the next day. That's how it works. When you're single on Valentine's Day, it's the worst. But then when you're in a relationship and you're all happy and shit, fuck all those single people.

No, I feel bad for them. You just got to hold it up for a white day. You just got to hold it up for a white day. Yeah, it's coming. It's coming. Get your chocolate after all. I kind of just think, if you have like work,

let's say on Valentine's Day, and if you can get off work and exchange chips, just be with your other person. And that's it. That's good enough. Don't buy Hallmark cards. Don't get stupid overpriced chocolates.

There's only one holiday that should have chocolates. And it's Halloween. That's it. None others. Fuck the man except what I say so. I honestly thought he was going to say Easter. Why would I say Easter?

That's the Easter bunny. I was expecting Hanukkah. Is that even a chocolate? The little chocolate. The little chocolate. The little chocolate. I didn't even know that. I didn't even know that.

That's the entire point. See, well for me, trick or treat, it's like chocolate is not even the primary form of candy for Halloween in my head. If I'm not getting candy corn, candy apples,

don't ask me to stop watching. I'm going to fight him. Hey, look. Stop. You remember the Christmas candy corn I found? I should have bought that. What else are you supposed to do

with Kwanzaa? What the hell is Kwanzaa? Do you like the fake menorah? It's a menorah, but we don't want to call it that. I thought Kwanzaa was like alternate Christmas. I didn't know it was alternate Hanukkah.

It's neither, but both. Somewhere in between. It's like, hey, yo, we're black people doing okay. Yeah. Remember,

remember, Kwanzaa bot, Kwanzaa bot, all he does is send out flyers that say, what the hell is Kwanzaa? Pretty much.

That's all Kwanzaa bot does. All right, so you stuck it to the man. I stuck it to the man in that way, because like, I don't know. We've never been

that into it. And the, No, here's my problem. You clearly are so into it. Just like,

you're so into it, but you refuse to do it the way everyone else does it. Well, that makes it special, right? Doing it on the day where everyone else does it,

you know? It's like, I'm going to celebrate Christmas on the 23rd. Fuck, all of you. Same thing as Festivus,

right? It's the holiday for the rest of us. You got to get that feats of strength shit going down. Any chance that this tradition

started the same, the first year that you started dating? When you started dating, then, yes. Yeah, probably, okay. Well, yes, but the last couple

of Valentine's Day I had with my previous relationship, like, was really bad. Well, yeah, that's why you broke up. No,

but that wasn't it at all, but not at all. All right. They weren't really bad, because it's like, I'm not going to go into it,

Liam. Yeah, I did. I did. I'm waiting for that to happen. I'm like, wait,

what? This is my personal life. This isn't even fucking business. Yeah, exactly. But tell everyone, tell your significant other that you love them

every day. Do something nice every day. Don't wait until the, when a corporation tells you to. The hallmarks.

And, yeah, the hallmarks and lint. But you need their approval. Or it's not legitimate. It's not certified.

Uh, we also, I think all of us, if you haven't bought at least one hallmark card in the last two business years, I make my cards. It's not hallmark.

It's better, because it's personalized. Are you telling me that you're full on fucking full blown? Hallmark, it was your emotion better than yours.

I made you a macaroni, like art. I did that. I actually did that too. I go out in the freezing weather. I get bristleboard

and glue sticks. Oh. And I make a card and I draw. I don't know if you like. It's hilarious. Anyway. Glad to see all this passion

put towards Black History Month. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Really? What have you done this month? Oh, for that.

Fucking nothing. Oh my God. I have something. I need to slam something before I forget. I was black this month. I was, I was just reminded

by a friend of mine to remember to talk about something. I played Ubisoft's risk for PS4 this week. What?

I, and my friend really enjoy risk. And we said, maybe we could play a two player game. Did they develop it or publish it?

I believe they developed it, but I'm not sure. Let's find out why I think that. That game has rampant slowdown to an embarrassing degree.

Is it this much like that Ubisoft Tetris release? Tetris Ultimate? Yeah. So we played it for maybe 20 minutes? Less.

15 minutes? It crashed, blocked up the whole PS4. That's a risky game. Four hours later with the board upside down. So you're not too much in a

lot. You're fucking locked up the whole fucking system. Don't buy that piece of shit. So Willie, what are you doing?

Well, I did just, yeah, just one final thing. We all kind of, got a lot of work done. We have some new,

we have some new kind of shows in the park. Yeah, we got to finish that. We got to finish that. We're looking at a thing right now. We cut that off for two weeks.

It's really secret. And because it's a mystery what it is. It's a mystery. It really is. Yeah. We don't want to box ourselves in though and

create things just for like the sake of it. Yeah. Just because I'm close to getting it done, a lot of people are asking since I mentioned it somewhere.

I was like, yes, bond of fun is coming back. Those are almost done. He's actually been working a lot at the home. Two years, two eight,

but sure. Also, with bells and whistles and writing on a donkey. All types of things. How much did the hard drive not know figure yet?

No figure yet. Okay. That's not good. I also talked with a bit with our good friend, Boke, no eruption.

Yeah. And we found a really funny idea for a video that's, I think, especially Liam would like and we're going to, it's a very quick thing

and hopefully we can bang that out this week. Really be kind of funny. And maybe after that, we can, we can lay rest to the great Aladdin debate. Oh,

isn't it a debate? Really? There's no debate here. Yes, it is. There's more people. You know what I'm talking about. But with idiots that are in self-denial,

yes, there is no debate. That's true. The only thing me and Liam can agree on. And it's a thing that's wrong. Oh, fuck off. What about that? You just high-fived yourself.

Some people have terrible taste because other people like Shinji Mikami. What do you want from this? Yeah, some people hate Shinji Mikami. It's fine. What do you want?

Don't you motherfuckers dare accuse me of not liking Shinji Mikami. Well, you're doing it yourself, so it's fine. You know, the evil with him was such a hit, I guess.

Yeah, and you loved it. I was all right. Yeah, I was all right. That's what you're for, yeah. Well, it's not all right. I suppose when people were younger, they were able to make games

better. But when they get older, it's harder. That was the perfect, that five seconds was the perfect Liam into Liam. Because it's like

Stinger fucking Zinger Liam into like Defender Liam. Right away. No transition. It's all right. It was great. But it's like

like Shinji Mikami's the best person in the world. Like he makes some really amazing, perfect games, but he also made some, it was all right games. It's like, you know,

like you should always think that you were the best person in the world. Yeah, that's confidence. That's confidence. All right. Over to you, Will. All right.

Well, I was like Stream on the Street for the first time. It's the shortest month of the year. Damn Street. That's why they picked it. That's why they picked it.

They knocked them off, man. That's why the man picked it. How did I literally never realize that? Jesus. There's a mean picture of that. That is

eight comedians punchline. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Shortest month of the year, man. No. But

whatever with that. Nice. I, yeah. So Zelda Majora's mask, obviously excited,

but like I said, you can bullshit your way literally. You can bullshit my way to getting that because Did you buy the, you didn't just buy the game just for yourself.

No. No. I'm going to get the bundle and the full thing. Do you mean the console or like the skull kid? The skull kid. Okay.

Yeah. That might be doable. No. No. No. Sorry. Sorry. No.

No. I mean, what do you want? I want the new DS with the game. Okay. The new, the Majora's Mask 3DS with the game.

Yeah. That only came out in Europe. Yeah. So Wait. The bundle that has the new Majora's Mask 3DS

and the, and the game. Yeah. It doesn't come with, no, it doesn't come with the game. Well, I hope you know that. Yeah. It's just a console.

It's just a console. Oh my, you may as well buy the game. Yeah. Exactly. That's why I thought you wanted the skull kid figure. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. That's why I was confused. Yeah. I mean, I think we should probably announce for what we should probably announce here is we're going to be going

to PAX East. Yeah. We're going to make matchup to PAX East. Yeah. It's mostly a business sort of deal, but we won't be playing anything, whatever is coming out,

which I don't think as much. Yeah. This is the reason why I'm not going. And More comment X, I guess. Yeah. No, but,

but it was just, it was the last minute flight. So, you know, that's where the money goes. Unfortunately. So I'll get around to the Majora's Mask thing. But I will be able to eat

great clam chowder. Maybe. And like pizza, Boston pizza. I don't know. Boston pizza. No.

I don't. A lot of people hate Boston pizza. Every time I've gone to Boston pizza, it's the best meal in my life. I always enjoy it. I don't know what it is. Um,

I had a nice Valentine's Day because Good for you, man. I have no problems with it. Good for you. Conforming to the man in Black History Month.

Yeah. You know, well, went out to a nice restaurant and I had my first experience Holy shit. Is it delicious? You mean,

I like actual octopus, not like catamari. Yeah. No, like a slice of tentacle was on my plate. And it was super good. Smoked.

And all that. I can't, I'm surprised. Poor squid. Maybe I'm late today. It's more than I thought it was more than all right. I wasn't too fond of it

when I tried it. But it's This place did a fucking good number on it. And like, you know, it's a pretty nice spot.

Because when I've seen people eat that, like the tentacles are a dark color sometimes. Yeah. I just think that they're eating like the sea witch from Little Mermaid.

I go, no thanks. Ursula. Ursula. Ursula. You can eat that. That's fine. It was fucking,

it was tasty. It was super good. And you know, that was that. And whatever, you know, hung in, watched movies,

did that whole thing. Beyond that, I am now at Where are you at? I know where you are. Now at Epos. Yeah. Now battle.

Holy fuck. At that, like, moment and reveal and everything. Super good. Before that, you get your little pat-sized

Don King character and the Mr. Sakaguchi makes no sense at all. Now, where is he from? Is he Japanese?

He's American, but his name, well, his name is Sakaguchi. And he does, I, I doesn't make sense. And he's one foot tall.

Dude. I think his story was that he was born in Japan, and he's like, Japan is weak. So he goes to other places to get boxers on there to defeat Japan.

It's the fucking Bob Mackie. What a heel. It's the Bob Mackie Harrah problem. Yeah. Yeah. Giant Jamaican fucking dread guy.

Mackie Harrah. Mackie Harrah. Ugh. Anyway. Not just Mackie Harrah, but Bob. Bob, Mackie Harrah.

Yeah. It's still a great name. Yeah. Um, Kimura versus Machibou was the shit. Oh, it's so good. Fucking fight.

Wow. Was that good? There's no reason why it should be good. Exactly. Because going into it, you're like, I don't care about this. Jobber versus

somewhat invincible former villain. Jobber versus villain of the week. Yeah. I don't think Machibou is a villain of the week. Well,

in his, in his actual placement in the Epos storyline, he was a villain of the week. But then he fucking follows up. But then he always shows up.

Stop trying to fuck my sister. Yeah, it's great. No, it's great. Well, well, yeah, elephant noise.

Yeah, exactly. It's also interesting how the second season, which is, it's now animated by Madhouse, which is interesting. Um,

wasn't the first one also animated by Madhouse? I can't remember. It didn't. It didn't. It looks like an old anime. Fucking tell what the second one had.

And the budget increase and the, the attempts to make Ippo more of a character, I guess, because he was a bit of just like nice guy that's ignorant.

Yeah. He's blindingly a fanboy of like the dudes that he's looking up to. It's a little much. He's like making faces and like biting his lips and going like,

oh, these guys are so fucking cool. It's, it's one of those things where it's like, when the more it goes on, you want Ippo to become a little more confident and a little more, yeah,

like not as fanboy. It's like, it's fun sometimes, but then you get a little tired of it. Now he's even harder fanboy. I sure hope you don't care about a resolution

or that romance supplement. Oh, I've given up all hope of that ever fucking going. I'm fine with fanboying over Date because he should. He's a fucking champ.

It's, it's when he's still like, oh, Kamara, not Kamara, fuck Miata. Oh, Miata, you're still my like, oh, I want to fight you.

No, you're better than Miata. I want to fight your wiener. I was about to say by romance, you mean Ippo and Miata, right? Yeah. Because that's never,

that's the courting romance that goes. Absolutely. That's the most interesting part of the show. That's, that's what I talked about when I,

when I watched all of it. I'm like, they're building up to Miata versus Ippo. It's the final match in series, but I don't care. It's fine because you gotta stare at each other's backs

as you chase after them, but also go in the opposite direction. You can do little things to make Ippo more interesting or more fun. There's nothing you can do with Miata

that I can think of that you can make him like super awesome and cool. Yeah. It's Hammer Now and New Challenger. Yeah. New Challenger is the

Australian guy and then Hammer Now. And then Takamura's title. Well. Yeah. I'm not there yet. That's,

that's some shit. That's, that's the main part of New Challenger. Yeah. Cool. Increased budget is fucking great and it still continues

to be one of my favorite things. They increase the budget again in the next one. Yeah. I just, there's just so much. Oh yeah.

There's just so much. But you're like, you're more than halfway there. I, the way is that the way the seasons like pan out once you finish

the first quote unquote season, you're like two thirds through the series because it's 76 episodes, then 26, then 25. And then two normal seasons.

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I hope it keeps like that. I hope they, you know, always 25, 26 every couple of years. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I think, I think initially the, the anime, when you're, when it goes up to like high ass numbers like that,

it's usually because they want to, then they had the fucking decency to stop and wait for it to. Yeah. No shows that, I feel like like shows that

end in the 70s, like, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh. Uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, um, uh, um, and like, um, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, yeah. um, um, um, I got my first Under Night in Birth tournament.

And wow, the ex-lay, the ex-lay worst title ever. Uh, I made it one round further than I expected to. So you won one round. Got one in. Not bad.

Okay. Um, and You gotta get powered by the anime, Willie. Yeah, exactly. And no, that, That means You need to play more criminal girls, and then you'll be

The systems as confusing as they are, just look at, are really cool in the game once you kind of learn it and stuff, like, yeah, just watching dudes, like, play this properly. Oh yeah, it looks sick.

It's really legit, man. Um, interestingly enough, the characters that we picked right off the bat, big, big, big ass, claw guy, and, um,

as well as, and, and, and Gordo, and, and Gordo, and Gordo, and Gordo,

and Gordo, and Gordo, and Gordo, and Gordo, and Gordo, and Gordo, and Gordo, and Gordo,

oh, this loves you to do like a cool boss type thing, twitzes. actually a guest character that's way down in the list, like he's not, I'm special. The girl you like, that's like

Carla Deville style girl. Lay, she's like, she's the final boss, I knew it, interesting stuff going on there. Um, like balance issues actually or?

Not balance issues as much as it is like it's, they actually made it that way. It's hard to make it in on the dudes with crazy range, but you can beat them. Okay. It's just, it's a fucking uphill battle in the same way that fighting Mitsuru in original P4A is an uphill battle.

Yeah, sure. You know? Not doable, but yeah. Yeah. Um, and uh, I started and got uh,

some ways into alien isolation, which I finally, Oh really? around to. Yeah, because I, you know, I just never had the time and sat down and doing it,

and I appreciate it. Did you get the alien? I know, right? I mean, I got you a gameplay sequence with the alien. No. Yeah.

And I'm, I'm fucking, that episode was hard, but that's, that's what I want. Yeah. No, no,

it's fine. Um, um, and yeah, for a, for a, a series for us on the channel, I can imagine that's fucking.

Yeah. We're playing it for like three hours. Like, um, we can't stop recording until we find the alien. And then another half an hour is my like, we can't find the alien. Oh shit.

Yeah. But to, but this is, but like every other alien game goes for it right away. Yeah. And this one doesn't, and that's exactly what I want. And I'm like,

I'm glad that I don't hate Ripley's daughter right, right off the bat. Yeah. She's, she's not great. She's not amazing, but she's like fine. Sure.

And, and I didn't think, I didn't expect to like get as giddy as I did when you're walking around a ship. It's not the Nostromo, but it really kind of, yeah, I had the same feeling when I loaded up. And like,

I didn't think that I had this emotion for the Nostromo architecture. Oh my God, they nailed it. Yeah. So it's like a really, like it's just feeling like, oh fuck, I had a screen saver that was just walking around the Nostromo.

I fucking love it. Like I don't care. It sucks. It was 98, 3, yeah. Just walking through it. Totally man.

It sucks that even though the game seems to have sold well, Sega still said they're disappointed, but I hope that doesn't. Well, it didn't sell 10 million copies, man. Well, I mean like,

but it's still sold enough that I'd like to think that they would go, well, we can make the next one sell even more, if we, you know, advertise a bit more and all that, and that we can get a sequel, because Creative Assembly,

for this being their first, first person game ever, I think, because they make all the Rome Total Wars and all that. They've done other action games. Didn't they do Viking? No, but first person,

first person's easier than third person. No, but it means that they did a better job than Gearbox. Yeah. Personally, I think it's fucking shocking that a pure stealth horror game

sells 10 million and a half copies. That is impressive. I think we'll use that in six. Well, when you put it that way, that's what the number was. Well, my point stands,

I think that's fucking mind-blowing. And, and to get it after poisoning the well with, yeah, we'll call it an arena. And,

yes, and with a concept that sounds like it would be a bad idea, but with, but so far isn't, because you're respecting the original game. To be fair, it's,

all it is, is like a AAA version of Amnesia. Sure. That's a weird thing to try. I know, but, but resisting the urge to make aliens

and, and to make alien instead. Well, to be fair though, like, I don't know exactly, but we heard about how in the later two hours of the game,

you get a flamethrower and you kill everything. Yeah. Well, we'll see, I guess. We'll see. But maybe that's fine.

Maybe that's justified. Yeah. Cautiously optimistic so far. And, and I love how you can just, you're fucking playing through it and mechanics are showing up that are like,

it has extra steps so that when you're panicked and running, this is going to be a problem. Yeah. Right. Pump that power of cessation three times.

Wait really long to save. Open that gate by doing these extra steps. You're just like, these are going to be panic controls any minute now. Yeah. So yeah,

we'll see where that goes. You must really like the low sci-fi aesthetic of it. I do. Alien. Right. I, me more like,

they actually took it real to heart, whereas like someone else might have, if someone else made it, they might have had maybe a computer console show. Like go that forward with the concept of everything has to be the lowest-fi thing

instead of just making their own video game version of it. Yeah. They just watched the movie obsessively. Exactly. Up until the shitty 20th century Fox logo. Right in the beginning.

Exactly. Right. Like I was waiting for a nice like alien font fade-in moment. It didn't happen, but that's fine. You don't have to do that.

Yeah. But either way, like we all love, stuff like that. Well, we love alien and alien. The cool, the good stuff.

We like the good stuff about it. And Xenomorphs are fun. But, no, I go super, super, super hard for the first one more than anything.

And I, it's nice to see it finally getting some treatment a little bit. Just one thing, Matt, the second I didn't say they were disappointed with the sales,

it was the guy who made that gaff thread, who wrote the title poorly. Oh. That's why the second said that. Oh, because in actual language and said,

I think this is what this means. You're right. Sega was unhappy with Sonic Boom sales, which were abysmal. They were, they were shockingly fantastic.

For shovelware. To tell. Well, abysmal for a main, a main line Sonic game. Exactly. But what the fuck did they expect? They expected

the TV show to carry it. You know, they can't say in their press release, oh, we realized this was like the worst product ever released. Exactly. You can't do that.

To be fair, it's like, just don't mention that because you should be happy that you sold this much, considering the, the relative quality of the game. Anyway,

I'll scratch that off the docket. It's fine. Yeah, you can just do it. All right. But um, that did poor. That did like,

what, half a million or something? Yeah, a little under half a million. Which is so good. But it's very a main line game. But a first line Sonic game

has got it usually. I, I still mean that's still good for almost any other gage. Oh, by anyone else's stand, by other metrics,

which Sonic has always been held. Yeah. I would argue that all the previous Sonic games like succeeded that. I don't think so. Generations, you don't think generations

is trippling? Nope. Not even close. I agree. But that's cause I have insane hangups about John Generations. Sure.

Man, I thought a lot more of us were going to have the new 3DS. I was waiting for like a new 3DS round table. What, three of us have one? Oh,

yeah, I guess. I mean, like, what do you think? No, but it's like, I had a whole setup planned

where I was going to say like it feels great in the hand, the new 3DS. I genuinely like the new feeling of it. Yeah. The button placement is great.

The nub is way better than I expected. It's a shame the build quality is such a piece of shit. Yeah. The 3DS that I have has five dead pixels.

I had zero. I, I googled it after Pat told me that and it's like a semi-common issue. I went back to EB to tell them.

A lot of people with this problem. Hey man, my fucking Monster Hunter 3DS is all fucked up. He's like, you too? I mean, what do you mean me too?

He says, there are three guys that called us that said that their Monster Hunter new 3DS were fucked up with dead pixels. So I got, and I only noticed

after the transfer. So I have to wait till Friday. I'm busy Friday. I can't work on Friday because I have to go down to EB and I have no idea how long this is going to take.

I don't know if they're going to tell me to do it in the fucking store which has no internet which can't be done. I don't know if they're going to let me buy it and be more willing to talk about this.

I see why you wanted to talk about this. I just hope you guys got a second AC adapter because yeah. And also, that transfer process is fucking terrible.

So let's go. Let's go. Right off the bat. I have a link to a very helpful NeoGav 3DS transfer guide. If you are

like trying to wrap your head around and confused, check it out. It's in the description of the podcast because, wow,

that 60-second thing is... Wow. What? Like, I've done the system transfer before from 3DS to Excel. Was it, is it that hard? No, it's not.

It's just that that shitty video he's talking about is like for idiots. Like, Oh, is it? It covers things that people should...

No, it doesn't. It doesn't cover everything. But there's There are so easy to fuck up and there's things where it's like, make sure, like during transfer, if you have

an over four gigs, I believe, like your transfer can take a while and you've got to have both of your consoles open and your message says make sure your thing's plugged in, but you don't have

an easy adapter. Oh! You guess what? You've got to fucking pull a Gerstman and set your clock to wake you up. Oh, that's upsetting.

To switch between the fucking power sources. It didn't even strike just in case one of them dies and you irrevocably lose your data. It does. Two weeks ago

on the podcast, both him and Jeff and Dan had the same problem where they decided to do the full transfer over wireless, which, if you have a large card

can take up to 11 hours, but the fucking systems die in five. It's fucking clenching. So they pulled that to... We need a large card. If you have... If you have a 32 gig card

that's full of games. And then you're transferring it to a 32 gig? A 32 gig on your original 3D. Yeah, and then you put a microSD and you start

doing the transfer. Because I was like, it took an hour for mine, but I had an 8 gig card that was almost filled to the max. So it didn't take too long for me, but yeah, if you have a 32 gig card,

it's full. Even me, I did it in the fastest possible way where I had a microSD in my current one and then just switch the cards. That's what I did. Adding the process

where you have to unscrew the back and swap the cards, that... Has anyone... You did that. You must have done that. That process is fucking nerve-wracking because the screws

make a weird click noise when you turn them. It's normal. It's a screw. It sounds like you're stripping it. No, no, no. It sounds like you're stripping it. The step after that

where it's like, are you using a microSD card or a normal SD card? Yeah, that's what I've talked about. Yes or no? You guys like to talk. And it's like, select no

if you are not using a microSD card. And it's like the easiest thing to fuck up because it's a yes-no answer to a binary... And also, you know...

On forums, I've been seeing there are people that do the whole process and go, uh-oh, my shit fucked up. I lost my 350-hour Pokemon save.

I'm seeing people whose systems are just straight up erroring out during the process and wiping their shit. And even I, I did all...

I did way more research than the average person. And I had all the tools and I had everything to fucking do it. It still took me an hour. And there were parts of it that, like, the language was not clear

and I got, uh-uh-uh-uh. This is outrageous. This is so bad. And then when I just think about the fact that... I love account systems. When I just think about the fact that I opened up my

PlayStation 2 v. Yeah. And fucking it goes, hey man, what's up? You got an account? Yeah. Alright, sign in. Cool.

Done! Done! Worst case scenario. It's over, yeah. Worst, worst, worst case scenario. You're a person like me or Liam who might have

three v-dip things and you... You gotta go on the website to disallow the old one. To get one of them off, yeah. Because you're gonna have two home consoles. So you do that

and then you go on the option to say make this a home console and you're done. You're done. God forbid the new 3DS you bought has promotional shit on it. Right?

In which case... The process becomes more complex. Because... And weird. Because you can't... Well, first of all, you can't make an account on it

and then make the transfer happen. No, then the transfer won't do it. Yeah. So, you have then gotta do the transfer with the system that has your shit on it and then

it'll attach the license once it's done and then you gotta download those games that were already on the console because... Because they deleted it as part of the process.

And now they just add the ownership to your... Wonderful, yeah. thing on eShop when it really could have just been the same data but attached your license

to it and it's done. You know? Dang. Yeah. I don't... It's just... I don't get it, man. I don't get it.

It's not that hard to make an account. Say you save people. Yes, it is. Now. Say you save people. Again, they can't make one now if they had 10 years. Yeah, but then do it.

I know in the show. Yeah, no, but it's like... The lamenting of it now... Well, no, but it's pretty much... It's pretty much like... It's even... The Nintendo... Regardless of...

Regardless of how we got to this point... No, no, of course. At this point, it's now totally unacceptable. Half to make. That's what we all fear. That's why the Nintendo... Yeah.

Half. So, you can make the argument to people that fucked up and lost their stuff because they didn't read the instructions carefully. Or didn't have a second day

to see it after. It's mostly their fault because they didn't read it properly and they didn't prepare. Fine. Whatever. Even if you're right, the fact that the scenario

is possible that you can lose your shit in the transfer process is unbelievable. And calling Nintendo up and hopefully they know they can redo your shit. Hopefully.

Fuck. Fuck. Yeah, so... Yeah. I'm ready. I'm doing it again. I didn't even think of the two charger.

That's the worst. I'm gonna have to borrow my girlfriend's charger. Just in case. I know one of my chargers I gave to a friend because he lost his. Unless you want to

fucking babysit your... You know what I mean? I don't want it. I had two chargers so it was no problem. Yeah, but most people don't keep their old

handhelds except string them in. No, I do. I do. I just gave one. Yeah, exactly. I only own one. Yeah.

It's fucking... God, they shouldn't fucking give me that fucking guy on Twitter who was like, you guys can't cover Nintendo worth shit and we were like

because they didn't ship a charger with it. Damn it. That guy was fresher than with the Attack on Titan avatar. You remember that guy? He's complaining of what?

He was like, you guys can't talk Nintendo worth shit because the charger shouldn't be included because of this. And it's like... Is it the same guy

that was like defending the fact that there's no charger? No, I don't. Yeah. That's undefendable. No. And he got really angry

at all four of us on Twitter and you replied and I replied, Oh, oh, good job defending them is what he said to us. He said a couple of seconds ago. Whatever the seriousness

of not putting the charger in is like, how much you value that is a problem. It's still bad. Yeah. They should have put the charger in.

And well, especially if you have to do this transfer style process, like if that didn't exist, it would be a problem but now it's a way bigger problem.

It sucks because it starts with relatively like this is the best version of this handheld. The games are great but it's like you've got this problem.

Once I get my new replacement one or whatever and it doesn't have any dead pixels or fucked up circle pad or gouges in the plastic or whatever the fuck

all these things are and my shit's transferred, this is like, I really, really like this thing. I think it's the best Nintendo handheld since the DS Lite. But someone had to make

this guide to clarify for people. But the amount, like it is going to take me a month to catch up on playtime compared to frustration time.

Like the amount of hours I've spent being frustrated with the process and with the fucked up screen and all that stuff. Every time I play Monster Hunter, all I can see is the fucking dead pixels.

They're fine. It's hard to avoid. Dead pixels suck. There are two that are right next to one another. So it's one giant, one slightly

rectangle. One slightly bigger dead pixel. Okay. Horseshit. So with that, we already guide you. That'll save Nintendo.

Yeah, save Nintendo. We're only started right into the news, so let's go straight to the next biggest thing. Rock, paper, shotgun to Molyneux. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Do you think you're a pathological liar? We invented a segment for this last week. Molyneux. That's right. Yeah, just breath with it. Yeah.

Sorry. Hey, everybody. Molyneux is back. To be fair, this is the exact same story of last week. But it's like with the new twists.

The sexy twists. With an unprofessional twist. Which is, yeah, man, this Rock, Paper, Shotgun interview, if you could even read it because it was getting hammered

all day. That was my favorite part is that people like this article is so popular. It is. That Rock, Paper, Shotgun is crawling. It is a like

public lynching. I thought this was a fake article at first. Because I was like there's no way anyone would have the balls to ask these questions.

The first question he asks him is, do you think you're a pathological liar? Like, okay. Now, so there's different

there are different views here. Exactly. And I want to try and knock a couple of these out of the park right away so we can get to the meat of the article.

Sure. Journalists and subjects, that is an adversarial relationship. Yeah. The level of perceived or

supposed politeness will vary depending on your personal region and your personal tastes. However, asking loaded questions is unprofessional. Yes.

So, is this interview perfect? No. Is it like a not as good version of a political style

adversarial interview? Absolutely. And if you want like, if you want that kind of if you want

that kind of interview and see what it's supposed to be at its no, at its height, you go and look at the interviews that Australia was doing

Abbott, the piece of shit Australian Prime Minister that everyone hates. Okay. And the first question in that from a female interviewer was

are you a dead man walking Mr. Abbott? Okay. Okay. So when you're dealing with people, I could actually I'd say

but people that run countries should be under a bigger microscope than say some jerk that that doesn't make video games.

Absolutely. But that that doesn't like for the purposes of interview. And is that guy going to get his money from God?

So hold on. I'm just I'm just saying there's lots to be said about him, but he is a nice man. We're going to we're going to go into

that in a moment. Sure. But like interview politeness, everyone will follow on a different side. Me personally,

I would love to see it double mean. I I am so okay. Malnu has had a lot of over promising things.

Yeah. And I think that there's a lot of scorn scorn and not disrespect.

But when you deal with people that are slippery, sometimes you might have to get a little terse right to grab a hold of them and say,

no, fucking answer question, answer it. Now, the thing is, is that when like he's obviously

like a target that's like everyone's going, oh, my God, right with this.

And I was that his name, I think perhaps something like that. Yeah. But the guy who won curiosity being ignored and all that stuff.

And it's like, yeah, just a ton of really as we talked about last week, just like unforgivable actions in terms of like not following up on

that. And just, you know, the over promising that we all are aware of the mode that would pay that guy might never get

into the game. Now, but the other thing too, that that sort of thing would happen for fucking execs that work for

EA. Sure. Activision and like when shit happens. They're smart enough to just never talk to anyone. You know what I mean? The people that you

can't get away with asking these questions too, like it would be great to see them held to this type of grill. Sure. But you never will.

Because they're not the mouth. Their job is not to see. Because when you put in front of a camera, they say go buy the Xbox 360.

Yeah. Well, the 360. Yes. You can't talk to anyone ever again. And the thing is, is that like,

you know, Malin, you like for all he has to account for, there's no, he's, he's the end of the wall.

Like there's no giant thing behind him. Yeah. It's going to come get you because of the way the Kickstarter went and he is the source. He's a target

and the last point. He's a safer target for you. And like he deserves the crosshairs on him, that has, that has like way more bullshit

to uncover. The only interview I can ever remember in the entire industry that's anything close to this was the Dan Shue interview with Peter Moore.

Yeah. And Peter is way better at this than Malin was. And that interview went nowhere and it ended up being kind of useless.

But I appreciated it. I appreciated him asking Peter Moore why Barbie Horse Adventures worked on Xbox Compatibility

and not he or whatever the Jedi hand-waved his way because he's a pro. Yeah. But so here's the thing is that like

if you see Peter Malin you and you're at like or anybody anyone that's something under similar circumstances at like GDC or at like a con

you're free to go up to him and say hey thanks for blah blah blah you're free to do that. But when you invite someone in for an interview

I also feel it's kind of disingenuous and a little dishonest to start off an interview a thing like that because it's under the pretense

that this is going to be an interview and they might say it's going to be Frank it's going to be to the point and then you catch someone off guard

and I kind of feel that's the part of this interview I'm like I don't think that's exactly I totally disagree I think it was a great interview

I totally disagree with you if you're doing shit then you should expect that every interview will call you out

no no no you can sit because your first question is a little now the thing is that a pathological liar

isn't an evil thing to ask pathological lying is just when you lie casually and it's not an evil tree it's an objective I don't think

he would have fun answering that question so then he shoots so then you say do you think you over promise things

or do you think like just I just find that the way they come out with it is a little too harsh there was a massive reaction

in terms of a lot of people going like wow rock paper shotgun what the fuck I'm never gonna do an interview with them that's like okay so your assholes

is that what we're supposed to take away from them well no because they see someone that's in their industry getting flamed under maybe false pretenses

the thing is that they're defending them because they're putting themselves in his position despite what he did what I was trying to say though

was that there's unprofessional questions there's loaded questions there and a lot of that stuff interview ain't perfect but there is

more important than this information that needed to be uncovered and this got to the bottom of quite a few things yes it did some of them

which clarified shit for peter yep peter the public for the public in terms of like did they have

those forums that they talked about and the students did and a couple other things where last week it was just like okay we're going off

post most of it came out where peter was just like well this is the state of it and at the end of the day you're looking at the list and 80% of it's like

okay but we probably never would have gotten these answers if that interview wasn't as hard hitting as it was now that being said

I think that the logic process and the fucking mental gymnastics that mollinou will perform in order to avoid admitting that

I lied is some absurd shit when you have things like hey remember when this guy joined the fucking team

at such and such a date no that's impossible he couldn't have joined at such and such a date because he joined after this I honestly don't think that was a lie

because he asked the guy hey when did you join and then the guy said no you wouldn't have asked that's not the problem the certainty

in which he said something which was completely false that's the root of the problem that's not a lie it's a mistake I disagree no that's not true if you make an error

and you're certain about your error it's not a lie you just made a mistake I think I think him to even ask reveals you have to know

that he at least believed in what he was saying I think he would not have asked if he was lying if he was lying I think if you represents

that represents his viewpoint on like almost everything in terms of you know it's like he's here

and his answer is generally no but are you lying about that I was wrong and miscalculated and thought that it was right at the time sure

and and it's like yes and you continuously miscalculate over and over and over again does being in the game for 30 years he did tons of wrong stuff

on this project I just think that instance that Pat is talking about was a mistake or he wouldn't have immediately asked for clarification

here's why that particular thing bothers me because you are technically correct but I think if you constantly make huge factual errors

with almost everything you say even if they're genuine if you do that for 30 years and don't stop then you are in effect lying

because you know you're going to say things that are just completely wrong all the time now also recall that he says this will be my last interview and then gave

three of them that day it was the same day like I think that's kind of what he meant oh come on I think that's kind of what he meant was just like

I'm done with interviews anyway it was an emotional thing it was an emotional thing but yeah you know he did and they made a note of that personally

I resent the constant like hey when are these people going to get their money and the response or when are they

going to get their things that you promised them and the response is why are you trying to make me so depressed why are you trying to run me out of the industry that's bullshit

that is that is even if it's not like Sterling said it today on this thing and it was amazing even if it's not an act even if he is 100% genuine

it is a routine at this point I'm sick of it no one's trying to say you don't work hard man no one's trying to say that you don't bust your ass at your job

or that you don't mean well instead what people are saying is why are you full of shit they also clarified they also clarified how many people are working on the trial how many people are left

working on and most of those people are not actually developers they're former like secretary or like miscellaneous production staff I had a moment

when I got to the end of this that just fucking like it was it's one of those like anime things where like the fucking spark of light behind your head goes

like your spine kind of where I just thought this motherfucker was bullfrog man he made syndicate like he didn't make syndicate well he was on the syndicate

they're the guys who make syndicate syndicate and populace Peter Molyneux was part of syndicate yeah syndicate populace I've just never heard syndicate associated with him at all those three games you mentioned are the games that he made

with no bullshit and it's like you are old school genre inventing genius yeah but he's been doing

bullshit for way longer than he was doing and I just had that like oh my god I can't believe this is what I'm reading and this is what it's come to so

from something so it's like a cat god thing you know what I mean you're just like what happened so I was I was recently informed bullfrog was fucking godlike

of two things from various sources about like his time in the games industry which put a nice like lens or filter on this and that's how he got his start

in the games business he made a game way back in the day I think it was for the Atari the Miga or something like that and it did not do well

commercially it did incredibly poorly and he was out he had to get out of the business couldn't do it anymore and ended up getting a job

as a baked beans exporter to the Middle East that's sick I'd do that job and what happened was his company name ended up being

incredibly similar to another developer a video game developer and he was called up by a company thinking that he was the developer of video games not a baked bean exporter

and they brought him in said okay so we want you to make this game and we're gonna give you these ten computers shut up and and you can

you can make this for I think it's the Miga um and he has in an interview spoken about how that was the moment of his life where he had a little angel

and a little devil on his shoulder and I guess this can lead into black and white I guess and the angels like you can't lie like this man you can't do it you can't take these computers but the devil's like

but you could just make a game with it and sort it out later yeah and he made a game with it and sorted it out later yeah that's nuts man yeah

and the other thing is that on a one of the updates or one of the things on their own forums or what have you he described how kickstarter hurt got us

because with kickstarter you feel desperate to get that hundred thousand extra pounds so you'll say anything in order to get to hit the kickstarter monster that's what I see

and a lot of people have problems since we're helping out the guys that are making strafe they're like thanks for throwing all of us under the bus through the entire

kickstarter movement under the bus because he said and in that interview he says well we didn't ask for how much got us would need we asked for

because we knew we wouldn't get it so instead we asked what got us could get and then we'd figure out our way fuck you fuck you

from day one of kickstarter like we look on like maybe fifty episodes ago we talked about exactly that thing yeah with kickstarter like that is an overt

fun truth I'm going to cut this down and ask for what I think I can get but not what it actually needs and then you act as if that's the right amount and then you add stretch goals

when you don't have the money to do the original goal yeah absolutely and everyone who backed this thing after the point in which linux was added as a stretch goal

should get a free refund full refund because if I backed that thing and wanted it on linux because all I have is linux and then I find out now that the engine they chose doesn't support linux

I'd be furious you know that's the one thing that I disagree on only on the contingent of like that's just fucking how kickstarter works you're not buying a product man sure like

you should do the research first yes you should well no no I get you and I understand and that's why there's no legal recourse yeah of course but hey

getting angry he deserves all the backlash in the world getting angry is super loud because there's no legal recourse the final responsibility lies on the people pledging money because it may never come back to them but that doesn't absolve people who rip them off

no definitely being turkish oh no he deserves the guilt yeah no I agree budget really actual questions that are like don't you think you owe everyone their money back well here no here's the deal

I think that money should have gone back the day they decided to choose an engine that didn't support linux well I mean it should have never been a stretch goal to begin with exactly and I think that might have legal recourse

in that you're offering this thing if they could prove that they never intended to offer linux risks and challenges risks and challenges it's right there at the bottom of the page but the most frustrating thing the most frustrating thing about the whole thing

is when he describes the development problems or this or that all of it all of it boils down to making games as hard right? that's the general thing it's like well

obsidian's doing fine with their kickstarter harebrained schemes did great with their kickstarter so did the guys who made the fucking chivalry and FTL it's like you're supposed to plan for mishaps

well me and Liam played a game where it was made by two guys and they were able to make a game and release it so are you telling me that you who has 30 years of experience are you like either you're full of shit or you're the most incompetent project manager

the world has ever seen it's just weird when you think about the history of like okay like bullfrog as far as I know basically like that ended when EA came in fucked everything up and so he's like alright

well let's do lion head now because fuck that I don't want to deal with that shit it's fine and it's like publisher gets involved fucks it up and then similar thing again

22 cans publisher fucks it up and now we kind of see okay we don't need publishers fuck them and here it's like and now the consumer will be the publisher will be the publisher

and then you and then Schaefer does you just can't ship anything on time and now the public gets a really harsh fucking drag through the coarse sand lesson in this is actually what a publisher does

I hate sand they show up and they're the dick gets everywhere but they beat you until the game comes out my favorite statement my favorite statement in that whole thing

is that when the interviewer is asking him over and over when are these things going to come out when are people going to get the features that you promised them he says what are you getting on my case for all these dates things

you sound like a publisher it's like yeah people paid you money to make a thing in my entire they deserve to yell at you to do it because your answer his answer should have been

well when they're completed but it's like this deflection of I don't even want to answer your question what do you bother me about this who cares why you keep hustling me like in the three digit projects

that I've looked at over the years in QA I have never once once never once seen a developer-publisher relationship that was friendly amicable or not

at least slightly aggressive strained at best you'd say you know and it's like now people are learning through like you said

Schaefer and this and that it's like fuck man there is a reason while there is while there is a similarity with the way the Schaefer

Kickstarter went let's not make the comparison no Schaefer is not no but it's really just I just want to make sure

that that comparison is specific it's the money going out of control you know what I mean type of thing that's what I really mean so yeah that's wow I

fucking hope that this guy never gets a single dollar of consumer backed money ever again whether a product being sold yes

that being said you see like the huge amount of people like jumping to his defense because man he just loves games why are you so mean to him because he ripped people off

of half a billion fucking I couldn't half a million half a million billions of what I couldn't make it through the double speak

and really understand but in the end at the part where it's like does the steam version of goddess have a publisher or not does it it does not

it doesn't so the argument it's just for the servers apparently the argument the argument here is that he said it's unclear

here's the deal he wanted to go to Kickstarter so that they would have no publisher publishers right and then goddess that

that Kickstarter was for the PC version but part of that they said there will also be a mobile version that comes out first right

well they said well we need the publisher for the mobile version which isn't technically part of the Kickstarter but because they want

everyone to play together multiplayer that means that publisher problems on the mobile versions hold up like started PC

version so they said you're not going to have a publisher and then we get into it and it's like it technically doesn't have a publisher but the publisher

still fucking thinks and they're involved and it's involved so it is it is one of those things where it is true in the letter of the agreement

but it is not true in the spirit of the agreement because people backed it going no publisher just you

and 22 cans and then we're here about the publisher are now seeping into this shit yeah what's also

I was just going to say like on the surface level it also makes this kind of weird something to be passionate about at least for me because it's like Milo

and Curiosity oh Milo all of these things it's like I'm never interested in any of these things but and then a lot of people

don't even care about the games they're angry or have passionate statements about the issue that's me that's me

I'm one of those people so like kind of be like goddess you know fine the Curiosity and all the other stuff I'm just like

I don't care about any of these products Milo would have revolutionized the channel it would have met revolutionized the channel we could have checked in with him every week

you want to talk fucking over promise horse shit Milo was never real every statement ever made by Milo was fucking horse shit well and that's why

I feel like the opening question of are you a pathological yeah I totally agree it feels like how could you fucking stand there and talk to this

robot video that's completely fabricated it feels like it feels like like monies went into the interview thinking that he have a lot of

room to breathe and a lot of space to move move with but slowly but surely he got cornered by obstacles popping out of the ground

and backing him into a corner oh shit perhaps tree or rock like obstacles kind of like I love learning from this really not fun topic

to like the most fun thing let's get into some hype shit agonist for killer instinct that's golem right amazing the golem holy shit

what an awesome fucking good character after this show me okay so the characters okay cause he's fucking the last time we talked

about this there were no details other than this is a big guy and he can make walls and I was talking to max how I came into the stream way late

because we were recording something and when I came in I was like oh that's disappointing because I came in

like the last 10 minutes and up until that we were all I was all pretty sure that he was going to be he was going to be a 360 grappler like geef or someone

and he creates walls to close the distance and when I was watching the end of the stream I go oh this isn't as

cool as what I wanted then when the stream was archived and I watched from the start I was like this is so much better and more interesting

because I missed all the stuff at the start yeah so giant fighting hahaha what the comparison

picture how large the size is I forgot that's a big character you know the camera zooms out to accommodate him yeah

so that it doesn't overlap the life bar which you need to see fucking this character it's like fighting game characters that are giants

that are not grapplers are rare you know it's extremely rare X and Hulk are not rare exactly and

this fucking character has such like remember what I said last time about like Omen and like trying to push the boundaries of like fighting game

game characters yeah but it's not just a gimmick it's like we're changing well they're building off of a gimmick and making into a legitimate

mechanic because we've seen so much of the same let's push this mechanic to its utter extreme and see what we get so yes

the thing is he stomps and fucking barriers come out either behind him or behind you and he closes the stage space

as you have less room makes more corner but the walls can take three hits and then there's there are multiple ways that you can destroy them

they take three hits when you smash them into you get smashed into them or vice versa if you knock him to the ground he shakes the ground and every wall

takes a hit fine that seems good or he can do a move that smashes you through it for extra damage and it's a new mechanic called the wall smash

and if he plants more than one wall behind you oh jeez boom boom boom boom 80% damage now if there's a wall behind him

he can grab it and now he's got a club what and the club the club is full screen normal but the club

also takes you can only get three hits out of it and then it breaks that includes block hits no I think it's like connect

you know what sorry the opponent block it yes yes he also has a wind up hit with that club

and it acts as a command throw yeah so what you do is normal throw with the club in hand it's a command throw meaning it's un-techable

right his other main mechanic is he's got rock orbs floating in his stomach chunks right generally at zero

you're normal you move fine everything as is okay the more chunks you have the slower you move

the slower your moves are your jump is smaller right you're heavier and clunkier but you have a hit of armor oh no so you can get

four hits of armor but you're really slow or you can four hits of armor hits a lot man but everything

you do is really slow or you can stay but you're going on a game plan and like I'm going to eat it you can throw them

you can roll them and the projectile is called payload of salt yeah payload of salt so one you roll it on the ground

the other bounces and the other he breaks the chunk into a shotgun spread that hits like five times right

it's fucking great his range and hits are obviously giant fucking swings swings he has a blank a ball he has a blank a ball what

it's on the ground he rolls in a giant boulder and he can bounce and my Twitter update was just like I don't know what just happened but Keats put a blank a ball

on Killer Instinct I will follow him to the end of the day yeah I thought you were joking nah dude and his his

instinct mode is gives him unlimited clubs clubs to keep going on you just wail on you and then when he beats you he like

buries you in rocks and puts a flower on the fucking thing cause he's a peaceful gong he's just like you know instructed the story is that

I hate Con-Raw and I've been instructed to kill Con-Raw so I've chased him throughout the centuries is that why he's all busted up and shit just time

yeah and apparently his retro costume will be when he was at his peak so he's all like all that all the cover green armor

that he has not the rocks and boulders and the tree parts that's really cool like the character is way way more interesting

and when they killed the matches with them they said we know this all seems like he's really good but it's hard to win with

and you can throw him everyone said can you throw this guy they're like yeah that's actually one of his main weaknesses Keith said a tweet like later on that night

I was like but can you throw him though after answering that question like 80 times yeah he's big though yeah no

it's just a really creative character yeah he's pretty good you know and I can see it how it's like yeah hard to win like tricks for getting

the rock loads into him but he's overwhelmingly slow and it takes a good two seconds to put the rock in you need time you need tricks

you know to cover that and when you're western fighting games doing gonzo shit getting creative with it man what's Beowulf coming soon soon

so I held off playing as Eliza cause I went and told Beowulf so you have a couple characters to stick your teeth into yeah but like I said it's always that

second generation of fans of a thing that are now making their own versions of thing yeah but like way better thought out

more advanced and interesting because we've all seen all the iterations of the original I want I want instead of Marvel vs Capcom or Capcom vs SNK I want East vs West

oh jeez fuck that's pretty cool I want I want East might beat I want two characters from like six franchises

world fighting game getting herada on it is all I can say Herada will do it yeah when Herada is not wearing his awesome Pikachu 1Z I'm like he's so lifeless

where he's standing with that's why it's perfect that's why it's perfect exactly if he was smiling the picture would have been ruined the fact that he's all grumpy and has his sunglasses on

no man he's serious business time in this Pikachu suit serious business time serious business 1Z now Herada and Pikachu and Pikachu costume and that

poke and tournament like fucking barrage of video it gives life it gives life it gives life it gives life and it takes life

footage of pokemon shuffle what the fuck's pokemon shuffle it's the it's just a mobile game on 3ds yep that's the best one it's candy crash

it's candy crash with pokemon and we saw the trailer front it was like okay sure that's fine but it wasn't a problem until

they revealed the free-to-play mechanics this is when the fucking shareholders say nintendo would start putting out mobile games

this is exactly why you shouldn't I think comes out to this shit I feel like this is trying to trick their investors yeah because their investors

say hey make make games for mobile micro show us micro don't do good with this don't do good with this but they're investors say put your games

on smartphones and then somehow that gets turned into put smartphone games on your hand held so they've been experimenting with all ranges of free-to-play including stuff like

steel diver sub wars which was a full 3d shooter yeah it's a third person first person shooter whatever

I can't I didn't actually play it but yeah like Denpaningen in Japan we got like over 1.8 million downloads like

free-to-play they're doing good on 3ds but they're experimenting with all tiers but this is what this is like the straight up lifted like

you know what it is it's the energy bar the energy bar's in there you've got the arts and every half an hour you restop the energy bar whatever that is even associated with the game

I'm just like you're not and it's not and it's not even like the resident evil thing where it's like oh if you lose you go get this

it's like no it takes one to play you use one to play it the energy bar is probably the most hated mechanic the most upsetting thing is what I saw the trailer

and I thought it was a new Pokemon Troze game and that's welcome to the infinite series like now with Nintendo doing these

like it's not just gonna be fucking the chinko games that get us like now there's games that you can't now the door is open

for this shit to to fuck us every time as long as it's Pokemon it's fine because it's like yeah Pokemon it's your most bankable thing

and that makes sense to make it a shitty mobile game but as long as it's not like battle clash oh oh and then it's

got an energy bar then I will like all better fuck you yeah the equally horrifying

other possibility is that this ends up being a like cardboard stand that basically says shovelware well now welcome

you know and people are rushing to get their existing like microtransaction mobile games onto the 3DS you know

well there's actually a lot of free to play games on 3DS in Japan there's a free to play initial D game in Japan but I mean

the SCUM systems you know what the Wii would be for video poker yeah just tap the tap the

actually but I don't know Nintendo's sized up so much in the past few years that it has it doesn't seem to have really impacted their like dedicated development

too much no so hopefully they continue only making them at the pace man I'll take dirtbag free to play gambling games

it means they have to put in an account system yeah it's true hopefully this fucking game just like lays dry bones on the ground and fuck

it'll make a billion dollars it's gonna do great yeah it's gonna be a fantastic game start vomiting now oh yeah no just in advance

well you say that but I'm gonna wait for the final nail in the coffin of The Last Guardian but let's be real

right now the announcement that we read today is The Last Guardian's trademark was abandoned as of the 16 in all regions

that doesn't mean cancelled it could be renamed doesn't mean renamed also makes no sense yeah

then you lose all of those not lose them but people will be confused when it actually I mean it just it got renamed didn't it?

it did yeah but it also used to be Niko yeah but we also never saw it as Niko no sure yeah

well it was called Wander but I don't think Wander Wander Wander Wander Wander Wander
