Castle Super Beast - SBFC 082: NO GODS. OR KINGS. ONLY SSAPO.

Episode Date: March 3, 2015

Liam's in Mexico, so we've gotta do our best to tell him a tale that'll be passed down to grandchildren for years to come. The day that Maximilian and his friends saved VIDEOGAMES.

3, 2, 1, sync. There you go. We did it. Gotta actually get the actual word. Yeah, we gotta work on that. Just go, sync and work. I watched a lot of Battlestar Galactica, so I sync Mark. Put a herb. It's not that bad.

We just look like amateurs to ourselves. We looked like amateurs last week when we didn't record the first 10 minutes of talking to Guy C. It wasn't 10 minutes, it was like 30 seconds. I know it was like 30 seconds because I edited it. Fine, it's fine, no one's gonna hear it, it's gonna be okay. People will hear it. One day you'll accidentally put it up and it will look like total amateur. How in the editing process is really going to keep the Skype sync test in? To order to even sync it up, he's gotta cut the end and the beginning of the podcast off.

How would he know to cut it but only before the sync? Unless I intentionally leave it in, like in the fucking MK Armageddon and BioFreaks parts where we're doing shit all and you're going, oh man, you should cut this out and I actually turned the volume up louder. That's what you do, that's what you do. The only reason I can see Willie leaving some stuff in is in the scenario where he has to upload the podcast and edit it but there's a guy with a gun to his head and there's a bomb and there's someone beneath the table. Giving me a blow job at the same time. You're just like, there's no time to get rid of the sync.

I have to find the worm cluster. I have to upload the podcast with John Travolta. I bet Swordfish aged really poorly. I bet you aged really well. That's gonna take a Let's Watch to find out. It's the absolute zenith of like magic hackering. It is a miracle that the Criterion Collection hasn't come out for it yet. It's like this really nice white packaging with just this swordfish and there's just a picture of two boobs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get a fucking Mondo poster for that shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no. Anyway. I got some news that'll blow your mind later that because you said Mondo poster, I'll keep that. I got some stuff too. I will not forget it, sir. We're rolling with a very, very special episode of the Super Best Friendcast this week, you guys.

Sponsored by Sapo. No gods, no kings, only Sapo. So, Lea, first of all, you're in Mexico, right? Como estas, mi amigo. Were you watching the stream last night in Mexico? No, what happened? Oh my god, I'm so happy that we get to relay the news to you. What will we tell it?

What voices? So last night, a certain Maximilian, Miles923. And the cast of the old video games. Jumped on Twitch and said, yo, best friends, we're fucking doing it. And they booted up BioFreaks. They put it on freak difficulty and just went in. And they lost. And they lost.

Yeah, and they booted, like the first thing they started the stream with is the sickest fucking ECW style promo. Max is sitting in the darkness. Clearly went on a Tumblr page and just grabbed the first photos of us he could find. And Max is there in the darkness going like, something dark has happened this week. Four dear friends that I had have been taken over. Corrupted by the evil. Of BioFreaks. These paramount examples of men have been corrupted and it's up to us to save them, you guys.

So this special boss rage is dedicated to these four souls. We're coming to save you guys. And it just goes through the dumb clips of us calling them out all drunken and stupid. And then it shows like Pat's thing like, why are you so scared, Max? Why are you so scared? Like a picture of my face that's just in red and the square is shaking around. I'm scared, Pat said you're all coward. Why are you such a huge coward?

He fucking lost it. It was so good. And they lost, right? So what time did that stream start? Forget that. It started at like maybe, like for them, I think it was like nine. For us it was midnight. Yeah. It was near midnight.

Because we're in the future. Yeah. And the thing is for me too is like, I'm switching internet providers. So I'm currently like on the day that I don't have internet right now. This goes down. So I fucking hear this shit's going down. I'm like fuck, I grabbed my phone and just start tethering Twitch. It's the most extreme solution possible.

Because I need to know what's happening. And they jump in there and like for at least two hours, if not three, they did not get around. Off the first time. On the hardest difficult. Not even a round. Wow. This is one of the two reasons it starts. One being that it was on the hardest difficulty.

And B being that BioFreaks is rancid garbage. That is hard to play. You can't control it. Like Max has been doing boss rushes for a while. And there have been a lot of them that take multiple, multiple attempts. And he'll get a little salty. But he's pretty good on stream about like maintaining his composure. And being on and being like, yeah, yeah, hey guys, let's do it.

Thanks. Subscribe. But this shit cut to the fucking boat. On the marrow. What me and Woolly were talking about very briefly in the stream chat. This reminds me of when we went to PAX Prime. And we wanted to do Sneak King for like live in front of people. And we realized live, oh god, this game has nothing.

There's nothing here. So just stall. Just say anything. I don't know. I think the concept that underneath Sneak King's helmet, it's Fred Durst was a pretty helmet. But that could only carry us so far. But I mean, but I mean, but you know that place that we go to, Liam.

When we play a game, we start to like have, we try to have enthusiasm. And then we die. But then we come back from the dead because we don't give a fuck anymore. Max and crew went through two full cycles of that. They got to that place. So they were just meta dead. Like they were super gone. It was unbelievable to watch.

I've never seen Max get so frustrated that he actually at the point of, I'm on stream. I'm not talking. I have anger face on. And every time he dies, it's bullshit. I can't see the camera. But he's fucking kidding. Oh, Shirley.

He gets around it. He gets another round. He passes off the controller. But he then they, there was an accident and they absolutely quit out of the second guy and have to go back to the first again and start the ladder again. Well, they went to training to go practice some moves. That's right. So that could quit them out of the set.

But during this, sorry, just during this, like this dark seminar, they're just like, oh, geez, we can just barely do this. I kicked in 50 bucks and I just said, this is for the hospital bills. Yeah. And then it was over. And the man is like, oh, oh, shit. And then everyone started donating like, oh, just you can do it. You can do it.

You can do it. And throughout the night, Bio Freaks is climbing the Twitch fret page. Yeah. World of Warcraft. Goodbye. Starcraft. Get out of here. Bio Freaks making its way up to the top 10.

Right. This is probably the best possible result to that challenge. I just, I tweeted. I took a picture of that circled Bio Freaks and said, this is why we do what we do. Every single time the guys look, they were about to just die. Someone would, would real like, oh, we should just throw money at them so that they can't stop. And so after like a crushing defeat, it was always funny when there was silence and it

goes, oh God. Then it goes, you lose. Then you just hear like, ultra combo. And so it became a subscriber. Yeah. Yeah. Or you got the touch. Right.

And I posted on all of our, all of our feeds and on the official. Yeah. There's a moment where I was not over there at the beginning and my phone just starts to explode. Yeah. I'm like, what is happening? Oh, make sure hands at the earth to steal Max's energy, you know, and like, so it's going on.

But they're slowly getting the game in another game in and like they got a combo down and then they, uh-huh. The two things was that 10 hit string. The 10 hit string. The 10 hit string. And the, uh, the, the. It took them a while, but they finally learned about the instant kill. And I was trying to get that information across to them.

I was like, it's f back right punch and they couldn't see it and I was not modded yet. So I kicked in like $5. So the message would be here and it just wrote my name was f back right punch for that fucking like a head. And at that, but at that point, like for me, I was just, I was like loud sweating, like fuck, they're actually getting in there. But I knew, I knew that what they could get here, but you can't do that shit on the boss. It just doesn't work.

Yeah. That's so, yeah. So there was, so what we had was this really drawn out beginning and then over the course of like about an hour and a half or so, everyone else in the cast, they went from two all the way to the final boss, just making it, just making it, figuring out the strategy, countering learning the spacing on the magic. It was nuts. And then they get to mutilator and fucking how many hours, okay.

So I started watching around God, I want to say hours. They spent hours on that, but I started watching holy shit after they got to mutilator. And there were like four hours of stream after that. Yeah. Like, no, dude, like I was tethering for the entire night. Like it was nuts. The brickest brick wall. And the reason why is because when we did it, mutilator does not use her shield.

It's a girl apparently. And so yeah, and of course, of course we're like, you know, we played on novice, like this was not at all expecting them to go on free difficulty, but that's the point of boss rage, you know? And so like the matches where they don't get perfected are noteworthy, right? That's how it was going. Like there was an hour where I didn't think that Max hit the boss once. And then you saw a couple rounds where Steve started getting some hits in and they were

laying it out and figuring shit out. And it's like, okay, if you stay in the water, but not too long because then the piranhas rip your arms off. And then you can't use your projectiles. But you have to keep jumping, but you the water creates enough distance to dodge. And everyone's telling Max for like two hours, dude, just switch your character. No, and Max is not having any of it. Max is like everyone's backseat gaming.

I don't want to hear shit. He was at he was getting super salt. The salt is. I started doing a really crazy strategy. I looked up the gameplay designer of bio freaks, Dave Simon Simmons or something and tried to see if he's on Twitter. And if he is, is he on? Yeah, dude, what is the strat for fucking mutilator?

The response would have come back if you got what's why, you know, like filthy jumps in the street, the internet, sir. And then like once or twice, he switched from the main guy bullseye to Sappo, the big Greek dumb freak, right? Yeah, and at which point we like, like, like start creating the lore, right? We're like, hey, guys, it's me, Sappo. Well, Kenny was doing this really hilarious voice because Sappo is like entrance animation is him waving to the crowd.

Yeah, so it was like, we started rolling with that as the lore and then just out of nowhere, one magic game, one magic moment, because they discovered that Sappo has a move that ignores shields. He fucking, oh, wow, he just fucking got in there and he took it all the way through. And then they think Steve was going nuts. So you blew two hours because you were too stubborn to switch. And so, and like right before that, at that point, like Matt's like, yo, a hundred dollars for your suffering.

And then I threw in a hundred dollars. I'm so sorry, Max. And then Pat throws in a hundred dollars, like a hundred dollars I threw in because they looked like they were 10 minutes from giving up. Yeah. Right. If I throw a hundred dollars when they're at that point, they're like, we can't quit for like another hour at least, right?

Of course, we all threw in money to just prolong Max's suffering while also apologizing horribly, because man, he was turning mine wasn't an apology. He was turning hollow. He was like, that's just so nice when you read the donation messages. He reads them in a nice voice. Yeah. But the message I wrote was not intended to be met like encouraging. It was, hey, you guys look pretty tired.

I hope you don't give up. You can't back down now. But he read it on nice. Well, you guys look pretty tired. You can't back down now. It was like, no, it doesn't get across. No, because I'm just being a sarcastic guy. Guys, remember when this was a good idea?

No, no, it wasn't. So, dude, if you get the chance to check out that stream, I would love to skip through that. I kind of disappointed I missed it. Yeah. All the hashtags are just sapo means life. Sapo the God, sapo boys. So I feel like I missed so much in one day.

So what we've discovered is I feel like I've been awake for a way for a month now. Yeah, I know what we've discovered is that Max, like I was talking about this on Twitter, see, the mistake that Max and the guy and Steve and Kenny and those guys have is that they have self-respect and when we call them cowards, they had enough self-respect to go, I'm not a coward. I'll show you I'm not a coward. I'm going to do this. See, that's a huge mistake.

You should have just been like, yeah, I know we're cowards. We're not going to be biofreaks on boss for us. That's OK. So what we're cowards to so so if we so now we know that they'll rise to dumb bait. We can do almost anything to them. I know of another boss. Stop it, stop it. In Cardinal Sin, which is a dragon.

We can't destroy these men's lives. I don't know. We have to wait like a couple of weeks. Yeah, a couple of weeks. We have to wait until Max has edited this video and put it up. Yeah, which I was laughing at him so hard in the street like this is like a six and a half hour stream. You're going to cut down on like a 12 minute boss video, but they saved video games

last like a hundred and fifty. Good, I'm glad someone said that when that video goes up in the edited boss rush YouTube like ranks all the bosses and the idea that Shadow Jago is a nine that he reads your input. Like Keats has said, they looked at the AI that they put in for Shadow Jago. It's a machine. It's Skynet and the reason why I'm using it because the game was just bad. It's just poorly designed.

That's that's what the difference. The real final boss was the camera. And the controls like it's got to be an 11 out of 10 difficulty. Yeah. And this was only the first guy we challenged for Bio Freaks. Oh, no. Oh, geez. Well, I'm pretty sure your video games are like the only people possibly outside

of the development team that have ever done this. Like certainly the only ones on video are dumb challenges. Though we're getting to people because it sounds I'm not sure yet, but it sounds like Boku No Eruption might take a look of a certain 99 drag. OK, so remember our dumb callouts are fucking landing on you when we're calling out everybody for a regular 99 drag. It's too much of a coward. Like the day that went up within five minutes, somebody linked me to Pro

Jared's full review of the game where he beats the game. Shit. That doesn't count for like three and a half years. Yeah, it doesn't count though, because it's a year and a half hours. He wouldn't do it again. No, he looked like he was going to die. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, yeah, that's pretty fucking incredible.

I'm like shocked that they did it and I'm kind of disappointed that they succeeded. Yeah, it's a win-win for us, either way. Yeah, definitely. My favorite part. We lost money, but fuck you. My favorite part is that Sapo's ending is broken. Well, his text crawl at the end does not finish his ending. Well, you can't read it in time.

No, but I read it all the way. And the second page, it doesn't end the sentence. Oh, jeez. Man, I love living in Neo-America. It's really good. It's the best. But we need to hear a story of once upon a time in Mexico. Yeah, what's happened in Mexico?

The other day I woke up and I was accidentally in Mexico. That was a good time. That's how it happens. I'm in Mexico now. I'm in fake Mexico, so like I'm near Cancun. America. Oh, the safe parts. Resort Mexico.

Yeah, exactly. I'm at a place called Akumal, which is near Cancun. Akuma. And we're staying... Yeah, Akuma, exactly. And we rented a little house down on the beach. I think it's like maybe 20 yards to the water. Like it's right behind me.

I can just look at it. It's pretty nice. It's gorgeous. It's like what? Minus 20 in Montreal? Yeah, fuck you. It's 28. It's only minus three right now, actually.

Oh, lucky you. Did you find any ledges that you could rooster uppercut to? I've been looking around like all around just thinking of guacamole. I'm just going to go ahead and like spoil it and say something dumb. I've been desperately looking for something to take a picture of and just subtitle it A Weapon to Surpass Metal Gear. But I can't find anything funny enough for it. What you should be doing, Liam, is do a live action video of you total overdosing a gunslinger's

tail in Mexico. Total overdose? I know that game. That's the one with the spicy moves. Yeah, yeah. You should be jump kicking off shit and changing combo like gunslinger's tail. God, is that just like Sunset Overdrive but like 10 years ago? No.

I know it's the club. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's exactly the club. Not the club. So I've been here for a few days and I'm leaving on Sunday. So far it's really nice. Okay.

I can't say I've done a whole lot. I went downtown to like, you know, El Taco Shop, El Walmart, you know, the works, right? Otherwise, like, I honestly haven't done much in Mexico because I've only been here for like a bit over a day at this point. So just getting into it really. But I did do some stuff in Canada land before I left. I finally finished Criminal Girls all the way. I can't.

Not a third time. I can't take the title. Let me ask you, how does the Criminal Girls value proposition relate to the orders? It's about 60 hours long. So good value. Wow. Very good value out of this game. Wow.

And I mean, it's not absolute horseshit either. Like, obviously, it's no Dragon Quest, but it's better than Neptunia. Like for good sake, Matt is going to sit there and say, I don't have time for long RPGs and that's fine when I'm playing through Baldur's Gate 2. But Liam, you barely find time for stuff that you will describe as not absolute horseshit. I love this game on a thread last week. We need to know how this concludes. It was pretty good.

You go to space and you fight Space Boss. It's cool. What? That's it. Is the Space Boss a criminal? No, you're the criminal. You're fighting your way out of hell. It's pretty cool.

Okay. That's an all right game. If you're thinking of getting a Neptunia game, don't get this instead. And I played... I got a movie for you, Liam. It's called Caged Heat. Caged Heat, huh? Caged Heat, yeah.

I'll give it a glance. I'll give it a sidewards glance. It's not like a show called Oz, Liam. I don't know. I finished episode one of Resident Evil Revelations 2. Did you guys play that yet? Yes, we did. What did you think of episode one?

I think it was way better than I expected. Me too. I thought it was great. Yeah, I had a super good time with it, and I've been playing a lot of the raid mode, which is way improved over the first Revelations raid mode. It's still not quite mercenaries, like they've taken away the skill-based gameplay and replaced it with just RPG mechanics, so you can kind of just grind your way through it. But it's really enjoyable, and yeah, Revelations and Rev 2 are arguably better than RE5 and

6, with the exception. I'd say Revelations 2 so far is way better than RE1. Then the first Revelations? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, without a doubt. The co-op stuff works really, really well. When I was playing through it, I was shocked at how well the co-op stuff worked even in single-player, and I was just thinking to myself, man, these guys are lucky that they're

going to get to play it together. Can I ask you a question? In single-player, when Ingrid, or whatever her name is, marks a character, marks an enemy. Natalia. When you switch back to Barry, is that enemy marked on his vision? No, they're not glowing. So you just kind of have to look at them and remember which limb is the problem limb and then gun it down.

You switch to her, then you're like, alright, it's his head. Yeah, exactly. They do some cool stuff with the AI too, where the AI does not fire its gun so it doesn't waste ammo at all, but there's a skill you can buy in the SE shop that makes the AI fire without actually using ammo. Whoa, wait, it doesn't use ammo? It doesn't use ammo in the shop, but they're lower-powered shots. I guess for single-player, it makes sense to have it.

Yeah, exactly. So it is a million miles better than Chris and Sheva ever was. Like, ugh, it's great. Yeah, because remember it's that door stuff. Remember in RE5, it's like, hey, I can't open this door. I'm waiting for you. You hit the door and you just... You snap into it, which is, it breaks gameplay logic, but who cares?

It's better. In co-op, does it snap the other player to it? Yeah. They just teleport into the door, opening it. So if you're a real asshole, you just, like... Yeah. Yeah. How do you just feel about episodic RE?

I feel that episodic RE, when it's all made and they're like, it's out next week, fuckers, is a good idea. I think it's perfect, because like, ever since RE5, it's had a very, like, well, even RE4 had, like, a chapter system and it was a very, like, strict chapter system. Yeah, exactly. And the first Revelations was episodic anyway, like, in that it was made to ape after, like, how TV shows worked, and each chapter had a next time on Resident Evil Revelations. Which was really weird, because that game didn't come out in episodes.

No. Well, it was made like that, so you could play it on the Metro real quick, right, in Japan. But no episodic fucking works, yeah. It's kind of weird that they even decided to do this, because the game's all done and completed. It's not like it's going to take three months for each episode. So I guess they're just trying, at the episodic format, to see if it, like, you know... It's...

It's... Sorry. Just to see if it makes more money than single $60 game releases. Because since it's all done and it's just a week apart, it's like, why even try it? Well, try it just to try it. See if people will buy it. And I thought that, like, you know, when I heard about this since episodic, like, the worry of, like, an episodic Resident Evil release is very simple.

It's like, you're afraid that the levels are going to be really, really, really small. Yeah. And really, really linear. And they use their budget, well, for episode one at least, really smart, because they made two big levels. And you kind of go, and like, the level, the main prison level in this game is more complex than almost every level in RE5. Yeah.

RE5 is a straight shot. Like, it looks like an area. More or less. There's battle arenas, but yeah, more or less a straight shot. Whereas this game, actually, you're running around in a zone and opening shit up. Well, just like, just like the first revelations, right? Yeah. Like, Queens and Obia.

The thing I was saying to Patrick is that this game really seems to take every failed co-op mechanic and partner thing from every Resident Evil game and makes it all cohesive and makes it work. Like, it's the Chris returns to Rockford Island and things are different for him. Yeah. That Claire's campaign in Resident Evil Code Veronica. It takes the partner swapping from RE0 and then it takes the just general partner system from RE5 and 6.

Yeah. 6 definitely improved it a lot, but this is another level. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's great. That being said, it's like, RE7, no co-op this time maybe. Please. It's just a rain mode, maybe like an online thing, like the actual single player, just

as it, because it's like the last time. But casually that franchise is becoming known for being a co-op. Yeah. I don't think they'll ditch it, but if the co-ops as good as it is in this game, I don't think I'll be upset either. Yeah, I'm just like now. You're not crazy though. It's evolved into a new identity.

Right, but like, I miss the old one. Yeah. And that serves almost more partner games than there are not. If you count zero or more. Yeah. Well, I mean, I can tell you for sure that like, Rev2 playing it in single player doesn't really feel like a partner game. It's so well done, and the fact that your partner always sticks super close to you and changing

between them takes like a second. They really nailed it. They really hit it out of the park with this one. Also on principle, co-op is a dying thing in general, so it's like. Yeah, local co-op. Yeah. It's actually coming back super hard with every game that's co-op now. But not local.

Yeah. Not local. Yeah. True enough. The only thing that sourced me on this game is like the weird PS4 performance issues and the fact that they took split-screen co-op out of the PC release at the last fucking second. Yeah, definitely the split-screen thing on the PC, I heard about that and I was like,

okay, that's kind of garbage. The store page still says that it has local co-op. Yeah, no, clearly the marketing guys weren't talking with the programmers or something. The PS4 performance thing. I found it funny because I played through the whole thing and I thought it was great and I was like, wow, that ran great and everything. And I saw it and I was like, oh, it's not as good as that version. The only area where it's even noticeable is the forest at the end of Mary's Day.

Yeah, and even then, it didn't even feel terrible. You know what I mean? Yeah. It was even though it has performance issues, it's like, yeah, it's still good though. Yeah, when you're on the rocks, like really on the rocks with Barry on the start, and then when we go into the prison, as soon as that happened, the frame rate just went up like at least twice. Yeah, interiors for sure, yeah.

That game actually has a revelation at the end of the first episode. I was going to say like, I love the stupid plot twist at the end of the episode. But like, it is almost the same twist that the first revelations did. I don't want to say what it was. You're right. I liked it though. I liked it though. It's super cute and stuff.

My only thing with the game is like, my own nitpick is just like, I think we really notice it when you pick up a note. Is that just the front end and UI is just the most bare bones thing? Yeah. When you pick up a note, it's not like a detailed texture of a note with the text overlaid. Like it's just a black screen with text. With the computer text. Yeah, just computer text.

So there's like little things like that, but I assume it's just time and budget. I hope that this game's tone is something that they replicate in RE7 because like taking, they did the thing in this game where they didn't try and ignore the fact that all the games have weird different tones and they just merged it so that Barry is like a weird old man who says stupid shit all the time. And his daughter's like, oh, I hate him. I hate you dad. Dad's jokes are so bad.

Yeah, yeah. What did you think of the little like quips and cheesy dialogue? Like, I think this was the best it's been in a few games. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Like Moira makes sense once you play as Barry.

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Yeah. You're like, what? But then you start to see Barry's like absurd dialogue. You're like, okay. Yeah.

You kind of get over it. Yeah. I really like Moira's line though when you when you leave the present and she goes, this place can fuck right off. Thank you very much. Yeah. Because literally that's where that attitude actually comes into play. When you actually leave, you're like, fuck that place.

I'm done. Yeah, totally. That was where it felt appropriate. So I'm going to close off my week. Just one last thing on Revelations. I want to say real quick. You're saying that like why release it episodically, like it's a good experiment and stuff. The other advantage of episodic release is if you're confident in the quality of your

title and the quality is high, you get a free five weeks of marketing out of this. Yeah. From people playing the game, you know. Yeah. Like we're going to be talking about it for weeks. Everybody is because it's good. And the talk isn't, hey guys, life is strange. Got fucking delayed.

Did it? Yeah. Yeah, I got sued. It did. Unfortunately. I was looking forward to more terrible dialogue. Oh yeah, I bet you were. Same.

Yeah. Revelations 2 is there for you. But if you can make more dumb spirits within references that I can point a laugh at. I love how Moira and whatever the fucking characters in Life is Strange are, are like clearly supposed to be written the same. Yeah. And Moira is hilarious. They even look similar.

But on the nose, like, haha, this is dumb. Whereas the Life is Strange ones, like, they're taking everything so seriously. They're just doing it dumb. Because you can't take Final Fantasy spirits within series. Hell no, you can't. The spirit was a backpack. The spirit was a backpack, though. And it feels like they thought they could capture, like, Ellie.

Yeah. You know? But you're not Druckman. Whoever wrote that. You just didn't, but you didn't do it. You didn't write it as much as Druckman did. And then you passed through. Anyway, I'm going to hand it off to you, Wally.

What'd you do this week? Well, I had a stream for eight hours. Yeah, I watched a stream for fucking eight hours. That was a huge part of it. No, like I said, I'm in the middle of an interesting time where with no internet, you kind of sit and look around your room and go, hmm, okay. Yeah, this is my life. I can't believe how bored I am.

And the thing is, I've always had offline stuff downloaded to watch and read and whatever. But knowing that it's your only option makes it less appealing. Yeah, no, your room just suddenly feels a whole lot bigger. You're a little bit smaller sitting on your couch. But I did, one of the movies that I had downloaded to check out was Big Hero 6. Oh, I saw that this week too, right? Yeah, I'm in that movie. You are in that.

Apparently, that is not what I had thought it was because I thought it was just like, I was expecting like a sort of The Incredibles kind of thing. That's what I thought. Right. And yeah, it doesn't. Based on the Marvel comic, but not really. It's not exactly that. It's quite different in a lot of ways.

But I can see why it's getting the solid reviews and everything it's getting and a lot of the recognition. It's not like Pixar style classic and its finest holy shit stuff. You know what I mean? Like it doesn't fucking... It's not The Incredibles. It's not The Incredibles. It's not up, right? But that's the most unfair comparison ever.

I know. But my point is... Is it unfair? No, because that's what... It's not, exactly. And Disney Animation Studios is... Are kind of picking up the slack. They're picking up the slack, you know, and they're doing what they can with it.

But they're doing alright, you know? But that's it, yeah. Yeah. There's nothing... They're doing better than Pixar's doing now. And like seeing the movie, like honestly, one of the most interesting things about it is the setting in San Fran Socio. Yeah. Right?

And then everything that that entails. This is also where Silver Samurai shit. Silver Samurai was in this group in the Marvel comic thing. And they kind of took the idea and chopped out a lot of Marvel stuff. So in the early marketing of this movie, it says based on the Marvel Comics universe or something. Oh, that's weird. Yeah, but then they downplayed it. Like, they were scared of it?

But then there's a huge Marvel thing that gets related to... Is it Captain America? No. Is it Ego? No. But anyway, I'm not going to spoil it. But in any case, yeah, there's no real glaring flaws with the movie. I find it's pretty fun and solid and it's a good watch.

The closest thing I can nitpick and it kind of explains why I'm left kind of going like, yeah, I liked that, but I didn't go crazy, is the pacing. It's so typical and like... It's intangible. You know what I mean? It's just something you sort of feel as it's going on. You're like, this is moving way too fast, you know? And they kind of had too much script to convey the movie.

Yeah, there were bits of it. I really didn't buy into like how Hero like just magically became friends with all his like brother's friends. Yeah, that's it. That's it. Things that should have taken time did it. I think that's kind of like, let's appeal to little kids. Let's just have fast, fast things always happen.

Absolutely, absolutely. Kids don't appreciate you. And then there was the whole thing where it was like there was three main scenes with all the cast and it was the, let's meet the cast. Oh, now all the cast is fighting together but they're garbage because they can't work as a team. Oh, now everybody's working perfectly as a team. Exactly, exactly. And then it's over, you know?

And like all of that stuff, it's just like if you just had more time, you know, you could have solved it. I think that, yeah, you have to make some huge, incredible leaps. And you also have to kind of go like, and this is the part where we kind of stopped following this kid's life and now we just kind of go into superhero mode, you know? That like the majesty of flying scene that happens in a lot of movies is it's important but in this movie it takes way too long. They spend a lot of time on it. It's not about the scene.

I feel like it's just because we've seen so many of them, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo, flying is awesome, yeah. If it's any longer than 90 seconds at this point, it's too long. It's important and kids really like those scenes so you really got to have it in there. Yeah, kids are chose. Don't put things through that. But it was a solid couple minutes, you know? That's weird.

Yeah, but this was a good scene. The one thing I really liked though was like the animation was like absurdly top notch. Oh, of course. It was like incredibly good. Yeah, I expect that to continue to be like... That's rarely an issue for like Disney or Pixar or whatever. Well, no for sure, but there were just some bits of like expressions of human emotion where I saw it and I was like, oh my god, that's better than the last animated movie I saw.

Yeah. Because it's always the last one, that's the best one usually, right? It just caught me. The faces of the big characters as well, like the hero and his brother. It's really interesting where you can look at a character that's in an animated Disney style or rather Pixar style, I'll say, and see that it's like they're not Asian and they're not American, they're actually mixed. And you can see that they're mixed. Yeah.

That's really, really well shaped proportions features and things like that. And so, you know, yeah, there's good stuff. Ultimately, I think it's worth checking out for sure. But yeah, there's that. Excited for that sequel? Oh yeah, right. Based on the ending, right? Yeah.

Do they call that big hero seven or big hero six two? Probably seven. Where's one through five? Finally got to show the girlfriend the dragon tattoo remake. Yeah. And I'm proud. Play that pilgrim song. Exactly, fucking immigrant song.

Dude, that song, I can't believe. Upon watching it, at this time, I can't believe how perfect the song is. So you and I had a conversation about how that might be like the most effective trailer ever and you should have stayed with that. Because the trailer was just a song, cuts to it, and then like a slow brooding dark imagery and then the feel bad movie of Christmas, the girl with the dragon tattoo. And they told David Fincher, you can't call the movie that, that plays really poorly during Christmas. And he goes, you can't fucking tell me what to do. And he did it and the movie failed financially.

And he's like, you might have been right. It sucks because the other trailer is the one that spoils everything over the course of four minutes and it's a terrible thing. And I'm just like, this is the exact opposite of what it should be. Paul Markman said, I'm going to make fucking trailers. I'm going to do this myself. It's a more legitimate problem like people, like, I love being lost in movies plot. The average viewer fucking hates that. And so that trailer exists so that the person actually has most of the plot unlocked before walking in.

And so then they can enjoy the movie. So they don't get surprised and then write an angry review. Yeah, they don't forbid. So how come that guy surprises you? The brief theory you go to, there's the one guy and his girlfriend and the guys go on like, how did the fucking guy, I don't know. And she's telling him to shut up. Yeah. That guy's writing a review.

Yeah. So what's your girlfriend's like? Yeah, she's got the girl boner for Liz Sallander as she should all is right in the world. Like, this movie is- And then you both rode off into the sunset to find her. Yes, wherever she may be. It's like we're seeing- We talked about this in the last-

The fictional character, you know. Matt, we're seeing the comeback of the hard R. Yeah. You know? A lot of those hard R dramas for adults have been doing really well, like in the last like- But only if Sweden does it first. No, like Gone Girl is based on the novel, American novel. Yeah, and it's just like, it's so refreshing because it's like for years when you just hear movies going like, we want to make this accurate or good.

But we can't because we need kids to see it because otherwise we're not going to get money. Kids have money. Could you imagine- So we have to make this a PG-13 or PG-16. Could you imagine if Robo Cop 2 came out and it was hard R? Like what a fucking- It's Robo Cop 2. Yeah, then the remake-

Or if another Expendables is a hard R. Yeah, it just- Expendables being PG-13 is offensive. It fucking sucks, man. And like people, Hollywood operated with that mentality for like close to two decades now. Plus it makes no sense, we have to have PG-13 for these kids who don't know who these men are. They don't know- Everyone cool in Expendables is only in the pre-fine.

Doesn't matter if they know or not, if they're filling a seat, that's all that matters. Exactly. Yeah, I know. It's when cheapy Tuesday's happening and the family walks up and goes, what are we going to see? We've got to get these kids in here for a couple hours and out of our hair. So what's that? That's PG-13? Yeah, alright, we can bring the kids to the bathroom.

I know, but Expendables' entire appeal, like in the fact that PG-13- Oh, it's totally stupid. It's totally stupid. Why is the gun under shooting a gun? The one who's pointing at that movie, you see now. Hey, that guy invaded the bathroom. Oh, we lost Liam. And now he's back.

Not yet. Hold on. Oh no. A darn Mexican internet. Banditos are cutting off his internet and turning out his lights right now. I like Liam and I think he's a cool guy, but if like he came back, I was like, help! Help! I laughed super hard.

And like, our options are limited. We just throw up our hands and just like, well, to write that off. Write that off. Tax time's coming up. Hello? Yo! Are the Banditos raiding your house right now? Yeah, basically.

I had to fight off a bunch of them. It was great. They were singing songs and stuff. I love it. They're doing raccoons. It's just like a huge army of raccoons just busting themselves. Whoa, Liam's. It's okay.

Okay. We good. I think he's gonna make it. Yeah. I'm alive. For the moment at least. Cool. Just squirt them lime in their eyes.

The men from the cartels, they wear black. Okay? Okay. Just letting you know. Everybody wears black. We're all wearing black right now. All right. All right.

But yeah, no, just wrapping up that thought. It was just, I'm probably gonna go straight into the Swedish sequel. Because I wasn't sure whether to watch the remake or not. They're very, very different films. They are not murder mysteries at all. But the thing that I was worried about was like, I was like, well, for one thing, now that I've seen the first one so fresh in my mind, like I don't want to rewatch it a third time again, like just right away, even if it's super different.

Right? So I want to go into the second one and just kind of make sure I know who's who so that I don't. It's like a whole new, there's two returning characters. Everyone else is new. Okay. Great. Great.

Good. Thank you. It's like a sequel in a really direct sense and also very indirectly. Yeah. And then what we'll do is I'll finish it off and then I'll finish off the third movie and then I'm going to go back to the first one. Yeah. Yeah.

And then compare it like that. The thing with the first Swedish film and the second and the American remake is that they're both great films. But I always prefer the American remake because Daniel Craig is way more believe like because I read all the books too. And as he's described in the book, like I picture Daniel Craig and I don't picture like kind of overweight villain from Mission Impossible 4 being Mikhail Blomfist. Yeah.

Yeah. And the music just destroys all the music in the Swedish version. Like it's it's so much. You get Trent Reznor to score your movie. Yeah. Yeah. Trent Reznor. You know.

He's kind of what he does. He won an Oscar for it. Yeah. He won an Oscar for the social network. Right. But no. Like I can't like like of course though the whole the land of the ice and snow. Yeah.

Right. The fact that it's called Immigrant Song and those are the victims you're seeing in that intro. Like it's so ridiculously appropriate. I don't know whose choice it was. It's also like a James Bond opening theme with crazy energy. So I love that. I watched that music video on loop and that listening to that Immigrant Song it got me

through the majority of testing Deus Ex. I would just have that on that version of time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. And I mean besides that and Maximilian like that's that's more or less me. You know.

That's my week. Pat. I didn't do a whole lot that's worth talking about. I've been playing a bunch of games but they're a bunch of games that I've talked about last week and two weeks before that I've been playing Baldur's Gate and Monster Hunter. So normal life. It's okay. It's okay.

It's fine. I started. There's one thing. Sorry. Is there something that you guys kind of are you guys having this thing too where you kind of feel like I need to do more with my week to talk about it. Yes. Like that.

I had that early on. I was I was and then I yeah and then I'm like I'm like I'm not going to do this because this is stupid. I was playing Baldur's Gate for like I there was a day that that's all I did where I played Baldur's Gate and at the end I'm like I could have done something that I could have talked about on the podcast. Yeah. No.

No. We don't live for the podcast. We podcast because we live. So there is there is actually one thing that is worth discussing in a modern context about Baldur's Gate 2. And that game has the best cameo of an existing well-known character I have ever seen in anything. Hey, it's me. Yes.

That literally happens. You know, everyone knows the forgotten Rome's character Drizz d'Ordin. Drizz d'Ordin. Oh yeah. Yeah. Double swords. Two benches. So half half way through the game you there you you find some imps and they tell you they're

like, hey, do this dumb riddle. And you're like, okay, what's the riddle? Okay, we're going to put five famous characters from the world in this, you know, the pictures of them. Go grab an item that is associated with them and give it to them. So you find a scimitar and you're like, okay, and you go give it to Drizz and you find a staff and you go give it to Kelvin Blackstaff. You do that.

You're like, okay, that's nice. Right. Then you go through the long, long fucking game. This game is so long and you run into a problem in which you're like, wow, okay, we got to go kill this vampire. This vampire is a serious actual problem and kicked your party's ass earlier in the game. What are we going to do? We should get help and somebody tells you you should go find somebody to help you.

And then the very first time you fast travel after that, you just run into Drizz's party and go and one of your character doesn't know them. But at least one of your party does. Okay. You do. That's Drizz. Yeah. You go, the guy from the...

Yeah. You hate Drizz. You want to help... Your in-game party fanboys out at Drizz. A little bit. A little bit. And it's like, what's up? He's like, we're just adventuring.

You see it? You see this hammer rolling for hammer? No. Hey, you hate vampires, right? He's like, yeah, I hate them. Do you want to come hang out with us and go kill this vampire? So, yeah, totally. No.

And the next thing I have to do is go and meet up with his entire party to beat one of the game's bosses. Like, that's better than Iroquois, Bliskin. That's better than... I can't think of another... Because it's not force. Forest Cason. Like, yeah, Forest Cason's pretty good.

But it's like, it makes sense that this character is just wandering around in that area, and the reason why they would come hang out with you is totally believable and makes sense. The best fucking thing is when you jump on a WoW server and try and just look up and try to look up all the dark elves and find... All the Night Elves hunters. And see how many versions of Driz, whatever spelling, underscore fucking versions you can find. And so, you know...

The best part about that, the under-captive of WoW thing, which always made it super good, is that WoW has a hard ban on named characters as your character. And so, like, Drizdo Erdan is banned from the name creator. And so is Driz... So you go in and it's, everyone has misspelled the name. And are just letters off, can you go? And they're just living their lives in fear of GM's finding them. You're not GM's character anymore.

You know he's too cool, I want to beat him. It's terrible. They're not if you made yourself something else. Also, that game... Lee, are you there? Yeah, I'm here. Okay, remember how we talked in Mario RPG about how characters should level with you, even if they're not with you?

Yeah, undoubtedly. This game has the worst I have ever seen this problem. Also, characters don't level when they're not with you. And what, do they recede? No, characters, characters when they're in your party gain experience. When they're not in your party, they don't. It's very straightforward. The problem is, is the main quest in that game is go save your sister.

Go get her from the dungeon, right? And I said, I don't care about her. Right. I'll put her in the party later. I want to go do every single side quest in the entire game. So I do every side quest in the entire game. And my... You guys are even rudementally familiar with D&D 2?

Yeah. Okay, you start that game at level 8 or 9. The level cap for that game before the expansion came out was like 15, 16. When I rescued her, I was level 18. Okay. Because the expansion raised the cap. So I was higher than I could ever be in that game before the expansion. Because the expansion changed the balance.

And then I saved her and she's the level that you would assume if you went there right away. So she is closer... So you get a worthless character. She is closer to level 1 than I am to the cap. Fuck yeah, okay. Right? I always hate that. And I'm like, oh my god.

And it's kind of important this character tags along. Because they're involved in all this stuff. It's like, you're actually worthless. You're terrible. I imagine that doesn't have something like Suikoden where you get a certain amount of XP relative to the enemy's level. Because in Suikoden you get a level 1 character and they're caught up in 5 battles. Yeah, I did the math. I would never be able to catch this person up.

I might not even be able to catch the person up to where I am now. Right. So I used to save editor. And just gave her 3 million experience. Just cracked open some I&I files. No, no, it's called EE Keeper. It's specifically made for the enhanced edition of these games. Where you load up the save and you're like, you can modify any fucking value you want.

So I copy pasted my main character's experience into her experience box. And she went 10 levels up and she can cast wish now. So fuck it. The game is now double broken. I missed the old days of Red Alert where you could fucking do a Red Alert command and conquer editor. And you just make dogs that can attack from across the map. Or fucking helicopters that shoot Tesla's apps at people on the ground. What should we play that Red Alert where Rick Flair is now being crushed?

That's the expansion. It's just the expansion? I thought it was in the entire library. Also that you have to play an RTS. No, it's just like you did with Final Fantasy VIII. Just cut out the problems. The other things you might want to not just play the expansion, because the main character of the Russian side in Red Alert 3, I think, is Peter Stormair.

Oh shit, really? Yeah, and he's literally going oh snap at everything. Shit damn! God, we'll never get Command and Conquer like FMVs ever again. Never. No, we'll get it and it'll be on Kickstarter. No, you said that's a once again thing? That happened four times.

Yeah, no, no, but Liam just said it. Like to get it again now, it's a Kickstarter project. And the other thing, I played a lot of Monster Hunter. What do you want? I played a lot. I have a Sera Geo synth. I don't want anything from you. It's good.

I'm only HR-6. Commence calling me a casual. I started to play Majora's Mask. Uh-huh. And that game has a really, really atrocious opening. Okay. That game, no. Wait, because what part of the opening do you think I'm going to complain about?

The first half an hour when you're stuck as a Deku scrub? No. The actual intro. Yeah, no. When you're going through the forest? The Deku scrub has nothing to do with it. You are a Deku scrub, it has nothing to do with it. It's, you know what my most hated RPG, like SideQuest is?

My number one most hated. Hey, man, we're the five kids. Oh, no, you don't like that. You need to think, right? I didn't go seek. So let's go hide and go fuck yourselves. Dude, it's fucking easy. You know what?

I know that. I know it's easy and I did it. Yeah. But it made me so like... Did you hate guys? That's what makes this a really rough opening. Did you hate hide-and-go-seekers? I'm lying here for it.

You beat easily. Like what the fuck? Just worded differently saying that. No, hide-and-go-seeking video games is terrible. It's fucking terrible. I remember there was that. I thought you loved Monster Hunter. Yeah.

What was that happening with anything? They run away from you. You have to go find them. They don't hide, though. They run. They just run and seek. That's... No, but like...

Once I realized that none of them are in any buildings. I was like, okay. That's... It's not so bad. No, you're gay. But just that initial just like fucking barf hide-and-go-seek is like the very first thing you want me to... Oh.

And like I beat it and got the Ocarina and turned back into normal and then like it lingered with me like still 20 minutes later but I put it down and haven't touched it since. You're going to be fierce dating Lincoln so I don't care about this. They made me search for kids. That being said, even this early as somebody who didn't play Majora's Mask, holy shit that Bomber's Notebook is fucking game changing because right away when you give that dude the deed or whatever so that you can get up to the tower and then it saves in there and then slide and I noticed that it's not finished.

It says, hey, you could sell this deed to whoever and says nothing else. Like, okay, this is a perfect implementation of this thing. Did you appreciate the birth of Tingle? I did not know this is where Tingle came from. I somehow thought that he had come out of the couch. My brain associates him with Triforce Maps. Yeah. And like he makes a lot more sense now.

In this stupid world. In this stupid, stupid, weirdo world. It makes perfect sense that Tingle is like just like a fairy fanboy. What doesn't make sense is how he got out. Yeah. But he did. Put him back in. He's a meta character.

He's one of those. Also, I think you talked about this like when you started at Woolly or you guys but I'm not sure. But there's something that I didn't, when I played this game the very first day, like right after like an hour after Ocarina, there's something about it that I didn't appreciate that I didn't even see. And then now that I played it now, they shoved right in your face. Like, how did I not see this?

It makes playing as Kid Link fine. It's the very first time you gain control and you run forward to a jump. He does like a fucking side flip. You said this. Yeah. You did say this. Yeah. It's been like 10 years since I played Majora.

Was that all? And then both Liam and Wood just, yep, that was always there. That's correct. That was super cool. That didn't click in my head as a child or whatever. Yeah, no. Dude, that's a, like, okay, I am adult Link. I'm just in a child body.

Like even though the Hero of Time version went on to his own timeline. Hard fucking whatever. The skills went back into the, I don't know. I don't know. He still has all his adult skills. All his adult skills, I guess, yeah. Cool. That's my whole week, man.

Like, I feel like, man. Ryan. It's good to have a schedule. Nintendo support or a bunch of dicks, by the way. Like, I should have, yeah. This happened this week. So, okay. You know there's themes on the 3DS?

Yeah, absolutely. There was a Monster Hunter theme that was available, but only if you bought the game through the eShop from day one to March 15th, right? Somebody who got a review copy and then got a bundled internalized copy of Merge. I was like, I should probably be able to get that. So, I called them up. I'm like, oh, don't worry. They'll just send you a code.

I'm like, oh, that's really nice. And then they send me an email saying, no. No code for you. This theme is only for people who buy it over the eShop. And I'm like, I heard the lady type down that I technically own two digital copies of this game. So, she told you on the phone that, like, they would send me the code. And then the email was just, no.

And at the bottom, it's like, we are aware this is not the answer you wanted. That's probably at the end of a lot of messages. Yeah. And then, when are you going to localize Fatal Frank 5? Well, this is probably not the answer you wanted. Give us your email. We'll let you know. On the very next day, the fucking themes went on sale on the goddamn shop.

Oh. And I fucking bought it like a fucking chum. It doesn't look nice. It looks super good. As you deserved to, according to that lady. And I'm like, if I had called them earlier, would there have been a different response? Or were they literally just like, no, fuck him. He can buy it.

We need to remind him of his station in life. We need to get that snake-eager theme, because it's just a giant picture of the boss. And it sings to you. I know. Yeah. It's a good time. Well, my 3DS Majora Mask thing is in the mail. It's going to go with that one.

Oh, yeah. I hope you don't have a dead pixel. Like, that's not even snarky. Like, I'm dead serious. It won't drive me crazy. Yeah. What if it's dead center in the middle of the screen? Yeah.

What if it's always in the middle of someone's forehead? What if it's just fucking I... Oh, come on. I was just going to say that. Oh, whatever they're called. There was a moment a couple days ago where I was playing Water Hunter and I'm like, oh, god, there's dust. Remember, Liam, you said if you get dust underneath the screen protector and you turn the 3D on,

like, the dust becomes 3D. Well, you're fucked. I don't know about it becoming 3D, but you're fucked, yeah. No, but that's what happens. Yeah. I must have heard it, but that's what happens. And I'm looking at it like, uh-oh. I know this is in a dead pixel, because I know what dead pixels look like, but there's

a fucking dark spot. Maybe it's under... And I'm washing it, and I'm taking... I have a bunch of microfiber cloths for this exact purpose. And I'm like breathing, I'm doing... And the spot keeps moving. Every time I clean it, it moves. And then I hit this realization, and I was so ashamed that I had to contact you guys

on Facebook just to log it. It's like, I think I just spent half an hour cleaning eye floaters off my 3DS screen. Matt, bring us back down to reality. Parts and rat. Eye floaters are real. Parts and rat. Three, seven, wrapped up. Wrapped up.

Wrapped up. Little disappointed, actually. What? Little disappointed. I can't go too much into it, obviously. Of course, yeah. But there's no story. No story.

Okay. When I think of a series finale, there's a big problem. Everyone has to work towards solving it. You've got to save the department. Yeah, I guess so. No. But nothing really. I don't know.

I mean, did you watch 30 Rock, right? Not all the way through. Okay, because when you get to the end of that, there's some good stuff. But I'm just a little disappointed that I'm so used to that show being, hey, we have to run for office. We have to run for governor. We've got to solve this problem. We've got to solve that.

We have to listen to Patton Oswalt talk about Marvel movies. We have to fill in the ditch. Yes. In this, there was like, they were leading up like Ben, for example, was going to do a big thing. And then it just kind of just stops that storyline. Then for the last episode, they said, let's just make a big last episode of what happened to everybody.

Okay. And they're good. They're all fine. And they're nice and funny. Are you saying it's like an epilogue in the place of the final chapter? Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay, I see.

But it's still good. And the episode, a few previously before that is just the Johnny Karate explosion fun hour show that Andy runs. And that was hilarious because that just had commercials for different Pawnee institutes like Pondsburger and everything like that. So that was really hilarious. They even took away the theme song of Parks and Rec for that episode. It's just the theme song for Johnny Karate and everything.

That's ballsy. Yeah. No, it was really good. Cool. And it's a really, really interesting horror movie called Starry Eyes, which I've heard about for a while. And it's about a young girl vying to be an actress in Hollywood and working at Tater Tots to like support herself.

But she just goes to a million auditions. Yeah. And very early on, this is like psychological. She starts ripping her hair out and screaming at herself when she ever, she goes to an audition. Yeah. And she doesn't nail it. How do you think I lost my hair?

I don't remember you wanting to go to LA for auditions though. And eventually a movie studio goes, hey, we'll have you do an audition. And they're really, really curt, really, really asshole with her. She has another freak out in the bathroom. And then she opens up the door. One of the interviewee ladies is staring right at her after she's had her freak out in the bathroom stall and goes, do that again. And she's like, what?

And goes, what you just did? You actually did something. Instead of all these girls that have come in and done nothing, you actually did a thing. She's like, I don't understand. So she sits in front of them and they're just like, just what was that? Because I just, I had a fit. It's a thing I pull out my hair.

I've done it since I was a little girl. I just get really frustrated. Well, I do that again. And she does it again. She does it legit. And she's screaming and arching her back on the floor. And both of them, all the interviewees are looking over their table getting super hyped. They're like, yo!

Like very punch and wreck. So the movie kind of spirals and she gets an interview and it gets more and more bizarre. And then it goes into Rosemary's baby territory. And it was an excellent movie. The actress who I've never heard of. I don't know what else she's done. Phenomenal. It has probably one of the goriest kills I've ever seen.

I looked away for a bit. Wow. You looked away. Damn. There's one thing. Anything with fingernails, I'll turn away. Yeah. Yeah.

Not enough for me. Oh, I'm like that with the vein stuff. Teeth too, maybe. Yeah. Teeth not as much. But fingernails, no thank you. Yeah. Take that back to the right back.

Yeah. No thanks. The thing that I'm talking about wasn't even that. It was something else. And I just went, wow! And just, that's all I have to say. It's not on Netflix before she. It's probably on PSN, video store and Xbox video.

What's it called again? Starry Eyes. Starry Eyes. It was really good. Also, like it was like slow burning horn. No jumpscares, no loud noises. No cats being hidden behind a closet. It was just really, really, it got more and more fucked up.

It was kind of like also self-aware. It wasn't too serious and depressing. Cool. It was really good. I liked it. Tons of Killer Instinct this weekend. Let's, we got to take a quick break for sponsors. Sure.

Liam's in Mexico, you guys. Yeah, he's never coming back. I don't, my hopes aren't high. Not a lot of desu going on in Mexico. No. How is he even living? You know, the weird thing is that before he left, he told me that he was going on a quest. Right?

He was trying to find all the best anime that Mexico has to provide. I wish I could imagine the loss. You'd think, but I, I just don't see him pulling it off. How could he get this anime to, to himself, wherever he is? Like, it's, it's like, it's almost as if like Liam just doesn't know that there are options out there to get awesome shit delivered to his door. I guess he doesn't. So he's got to travel abroad.

Right? There are countries no less. Two of them. And one of them's really big. Nearly off the end of the continent to try and find some shit that he could have had mailed to his door if he knew what he was talking about. If only Liam was smarter. He could have stayed here comfortable in the freezing cold.

Yep. And, and in the comfort. Not in a paradise. In the comfort of his igloo. And he could have had a loot crate delivered to the front steps of his igloo. Liam, what are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?

We're trying to save you, Liam. Right. You don't need to team up with Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas. I was a little confused for a second when you were up there. Right. We don't need to see Liam's motorcycle diaries. Yeah. Okay.

Although. That wouldn't be too bad. But the loot he'd bring back from those diaries wouldn't be nowhere near as good as the loot crate loot. That's true. So, yeah. You want to hang in here for a second because you think about it and you're like, yeah, there's no one.

There's nothing gravitized. There's no one. There's no way. Right.

Tons of Killer Instinct. I played a little bit with you too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dachomados. Dachomados. We both kind of realized that. Dude, his theme is amazing. Isn't it unbelievable?

Pallios is called. Yeah. War, Greek for war at this point. As somebody who's totally removed from Killer Instinct, his theme is amazing. It's amazing. Sorry. Big Ben just messes me. That's a good perspective.

And said, Wally. Dachomados' theme is amazing. It's really helped. I'm in Quebec at a French casino and I can't speak French. You're going to lose your mind. You're fucked, big Ben. You're fucked. Get fucked, boy.

We realized that while Algenos is really fun to play, using the chunk armor system is super hard in an actual match. Man, is that a challenge. It's you're fighting against that system as well as your opponent. It has to be instant muscle memory to do it anytime there's been a hard knockdown. Yeah. And even then, they lose not a lot. And the only time, there's a couple, the only really reliable, like the situation where

you get a reliable chunk, besides like combo enders, or like it's just like a panic shadow move. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we're like, ah, just got any chunks. You know, and you end up, you can't fight a match, panic for your subsystem to work. No, no, you can't. Especially not like a character I would imagine that has a fucking, his gimmick is setups.

Like you're putting up walls. Yes, yes, yes. You shouldn't be setting up environmental damage. Panic, right? But I'll tell you what though, when you get it going though. When you get it going. Phoenix Wright. Phoenix Wright from Marvel.

I saw Jeff the Hero post some bullshit on his YouTube channel. Yeah, I signed it too. With Akinos. With that stupid club. Yeah, the club. And I'm looking at it and I don't know what's happening, but I know it's bullshit. Whenever we use that club, I'm just like, ah, fuck off with this, man. I don't know what to do.

Yeah, no, it's like, that's when you were like, fuck, I'm losing this round. I got to fight it back using instinct. And like, that's your thing. That's your way out. The other thing I was telling you about is that when I was playing, messing around with myself, doing some stuff with this ultra. I'm like, oh, do that rock thing or all the rocks fall down. I'll do that at the end of the ultra.

That's like nine extra hits. I'm like, that's awesome. And oh, while that's happening, I'll do the blanket ball. I'll get over there. And I'm like, oh, I could finish off with the people's elbow. I was like, oh, that's neat. Like, and I was able to do it once in practice. And I was like, okay, cool.

And then I go and I see some, some Chad Kroger looking motherfucker post a 145 hit Agano's combo where he's like, how about I'll let the rocks rain on you. They don't do the shotgun rock that shoots the shotgun spread and hits you 15 times each. And you see the combo counter go from 110 to 145 in a fucking instant. And then he's rolling and then does a backwards open. I'm like, fuck off this dude. I thought you could do that.

That's put mad on blast without even acknowledging that. I thought you could do that combo if you wanted to. You just didn't feel like it. But now you sound like you can't do it. At first I thought I couldn't do it. When you roll past and get the people's elbow going back the opposite direction. Backwards because it tracks a little bit. That's the fucking sample.

That's the sample. So that was super sick. And also that like you were talking about those level caps being raised for Baldur's Gate. The level cap for Killering has got raised so and to make up for the boost that people would get because the higher you up for ranked characters, like if your orchids at level 31, it'll jump a couple of levels for you to make up for the. To reacclimate.

It's for reacclimate. And a couple of me like only two or three characters like TJ Kongo, Ripter and someone else, they all got like a like a bump of two levels. And it's just nice. I logged in and it's like, here you are. All these fucking new accessories. And color nine. Color nine.

Yeah. So fighting games are doing this thing now. We're like the last color like in in excerpt color 14 or 12 rather because 13 is the Christmas ones is just the Tron style glowing cool neon things on black. And K.I. has the same thing with their default costume color nines now for a couple of characters full of our specifically he's glossy black with the lines inside his armor being glowing bright white. It's just a look.

It's just so it's the costume where they just go fuck consistency. We're going to change the texture. Some rad shit and go nuts with it. Yeah. And because they know color nine. I believe color eight or just color nine and the last two accessories cannot be bought with money. You have to earn them at the top of the character.

Right. At level 50 I might get one character there in my lifetime. Does that have per character ranking. Sorry. Yes. Fucking good. God damn. The color nine was it was amazing.

And the last thing I played was coming out this week. I got a steam code for it. White night. The like survival horror game that's done just a lot like Mad World. Yeah. Black and white. We saw that. It looks like resistance.

Yeah. That movie there. It's like about an hour of that. But that game is really fucking awesome. Just you start you you crash your car. You're just I need help. You wander into a decrepit old mansion. And you're like an eight like a like a 1930s gum shoe and you have matches.

And since it's black and white the entire screen is just black. And you have a match and it's just a little you just see everything that's illuminated as you go. But it's just the most stark contrast from pure blackness to pure whiteness. Looks gorgeous. It looks amazing. And I'm just going around finding ancient clippings of a newspaper to find what happened with this crazy family.

And I saw one spooky thing. I turned it off. Yeah. Good. You're going to have to wait a while to play it though. Yeah. Probably. Yeah.

Save that for a special. I totally forgot a game that I played this week. I spent like three hours playing Under Night Infer. Infer? Yes. Yesterday. Okay. Are you going with lost feet?

No. Can I say something real quick about that game that really frustrates me? What's up? Yeah. This has happened twice with Axis. Okay. Oh yeah. You said this.

One of them was X Blaze and more recently Under Night In Birth where I pre-ordered the game well in advance. I could have canceled at any point but why would I? And then on day one on PSN without any sort of announcement in a timely manner to allow me to cancel my pre-order, the game is almost 50% off. That is fucking garbage. I love that they're like taking this approach to try getting- Oh that's the PS Plus thing.

Right. The digital version of it. No, no, no, no. But I love that they're trying to take this approach to get their new IP's recognized a little bit since nobody fucking knows what an Under Night is. But god damn it, tell me a week ahead of time so I don't spend 50 bucks on a disc because at the end of the day- I think I paid $23 for it.

That's what it was on PS Plus and like at the end of the day I paid 50 bucks and Axis is seeing maybe $25 of that. They're barely getting any more from the disc than they would have digital. Just fucking announce it in advance. This is the second time I get fucked on that. That retail will be bad. No, that's like- No, you're not wrong, Pat, but like-

No, I think you would drop up a lot of sales. You're completely right. But I'm just going that's their internal reason. Yeah. Anyway, fucking great game. Go on. Dude, that game is really good. Like, when we were just messing around with it, it seems pretty good, but it was just

me and a friend of mine, like, dicking around with this stuff and he had a point where I'm like, okay, that fucking tug-of-war shit at the bottom of the screen is clearly important. Yeah, what is it? I have to- and that kind of sucked, I couldn't figure out how to find out what it was in the game. Yeah. I had to- I had to go find- like, I typed in, in Undernight Inbirth, the title of the game, and the first thing that came up was the tutorial inside the NeoGaF OT.

Of course. It's your FADC. Yeah. But it's more, like, once I realized, okay, at the end of the timer, whoever's got the bars gets Vorpal mode, then they hit DD, and then that just turns into meter. Mm-hmm. Or you use it to cancel for moves. Yeah.

And EX is just, like, every super, everything that I thought was a super was just an EX move. The EX move, yeah. And supers are a totally different thing, and, like, damn near universal inputs on every character. So, like, the last couple weeks where I was like, so I've been playing this at tournaments and going, yo, this is serious? Yeah.

That's what I'm trying to say. And I said- This game is real, man. Like, just, like, dude, like, it's super new. I know, I know, I don't know if this marks me as like a baby casual or something anymore, but I'm tired of goofy inputs. Like, I'm tired of fucking every character having different inputs just because. Like, you know what?

Like, you made your game half circle forward, and D is your super. Confine. That's why Third Strike, doing away with charged characters, has stupid charged supers, and just having motions and saving everyone else from the process. Yeah, for super, yeah. For single input, like Sonic Boom things, it's fine. I'm okay with the simplification. Balance the super around the input.

Yeah. But give people- Because with it, like, my friend is not that great at fighting games, but within, like, 20 minutes, we were doing all sorts of fucking bullshit, and also this has personas- Like, Arc has just decided, I guess, that it's mashing A, we'll get you an auto-convo now. Arc didn't make this game. Arc didn't make this?

This is- It's my French friend. This is the- This is the- The multi-blood guys, man. This is still- No, it's still- It's my French friend.

It's fine. This is- This is the multi-blood guys. Mashing A should get you- Auto-convo. In anime fighting games, it should get you an auto-convo. But it's a weak auto-convo. It's not great.

Yeah, it's not great, but- Yeah. And I agree with that. Like, I have no problem with 720s becoming double half-circle backs. Yeah. I actually find 720s dramatically easier to perform on these games. Unless, unless, unless it's like Skullgirls, where it has detection on it. Yeah.

Like, if you're doing the motion and gives you a delayed jump, you know? Yeah. But yeah, man, that's- I'm glad that you picked it up. The animation is so, so good. It's beautiful. That game is gorgeous. Now enjoy- Like, it's-

Enjoy fighting Gorda. No cool or guilty gear, still. Enjoy fighting Gorda, man. No, I'm never going to play this seriously. Yeah, no. This is a- This is a training mode with a podcast on for Funzi's game, to me. I've been like, like, after like, sitting down with dudes that play it seriously and

just getting my ass beat, yeah, I can, like, fucking love it. I love it. The tug of war shit makes me look at that and like, oh man, you can get your ass beat really hard if you can't get the fucking momentum on your side. You put in any time there, Liam? Not significant time, because I kind of just left to Mexico and like, I'm not going to lie, Criminal Girls was kind of occupying all my time as it was. That's fine.

That's fine. That's priority. That's fine, yeah. I'm excited to get back and play at some, for sure. Yeah. Let's talk some news. Okay. Well-

We were talking about a fighting game. Well, no. I wanted, like, first off in Farm Boost, a bunch of people on my Twitter are like, Woolly. Woolly. When is the week of Woolly? Why did you kill Leonard Nimoy? And I'm like, oh my god. Ah, fuck.

I knew that one. You did this. You did this. You did this. The only time I ever did it, like, don't make fun of him, he's going to die. Also, I knew it was bad, because the day after I recorded that podcast, I see Leonard Nimoy brought to hospital due to massive chest pains, and I was like, oh god. Well, he did it again.

Do you remember when Old Lou had that news front, and it was like, the news article on the top of the page was, James Brown is about to die. And then, like, the next day James Brown is, and it's like they just fucking called it. Like, it's nuts. Oh, that's bad. When you see that shit. But yeah, unfortunately, Leonard Nimoy passed away. And like, all in all, of course, everyone knows this, but the coolest thing I've seen

from this was this picture here that I'm going to show you guys. Someone just straight up. Wow, awesome. Yeah. Yeah, you really mind it. Sorry. It's a billboard that someone just went up and fucking paced it over of Spock in like a Banksy style black and white contrast, and it just says he did, which is live long

and prosperous. Okay. Yeah. And like, that was actually the last thing on his Twitter and stuff, and it's like, that was a classy send off from everybody. Yeah, he's a force, so, you know. You know, Obama comes in like, yo, yo, Spock, though, even, you know, so like, what was it?

Month was like Monty Oom randomly this month is like 2015 off to a rough start, man. As far as celebrity deaths. You know, there's a lot of people on the earth. There's a lot of people on the earth, a lot of them are getting old. That's true. Yeah, the baby booms. It's true. It happens, you know.

There's some sort of like backlash where people are like, okay, everyone, Spock didn't die. He is a fictional character because some people like on various like, I just saw this backlash from like, I know some tweets are like, like, you know, like a couple of thousand or something. A man died, not Spock, because some people are like, that's Spock, right? If you want to break yourself, though, go find that picture of the crew sitting together where it's just Kirk, Spock, Bones, and Scotty, and then the picture underneath them is just Kirk sitting at the table by himself. It's the same picture, but the three are gonna just like, oh man, that's a rough one.

Anyway, so that's a bit of a bummer. Good job, dipshit. Well, it's relevant. No, I mean, for doing it. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Liam, you check out that Charlie gameplay.

Charlie gameplay. Elaborate. Nash. Street Fighter V. Boy, fucking did I. Holy shit. They put Rugal in Street Fighter. You said Charlie, and I'm like, what indie game is this that I heard of?

Charlie Motherfucking Nash looks amazing. I believe his name is Carlos Charlie Blanca. To which combo fiend fucking wrote it. What? Yeah. What? To me? So they just, they straight up did it.

Like, oh, for years, it's like his Somersault is kind of, it had a different flavor to it than Giles does. And now they just went with the, we're putting the Marvel versus Capcom version, our Marvel versus Street Fighter version of Charlie moves in there and we're just giving him straight up genocide cutters. Like, the fact that every single person I know, myself included, you and me, Willie, were the only two that came to the same conclusion. I saw like Max's reaction, I saw Twitter's reaction, etc.

Every single person went, they turned him into Blank and Blank was a different character for almost, I saw, they turned him into Decaparate and that says they turned him into Wesker and you and I are going, those are genocide cutters, they turned him into Rugal dipshits. Yeah. No, he is, no, the closest thing is he is Decaparate Rugal now. Even that lunging grab thing, it doesn't take you to the wall, but it's like a similar side of sort of hit-grab, you know. Like he is not the old Charlie at all, he's a brand new character.

He's all stitched up. And the fact that- So if you fall off a fucking waterfall, just stitch it back up? Yeah. Well, that one was him- You can get better. Get blowing up the shadow loo base in Alpha 3. It worked for Nightmare Geese.

No, but in Alpha 2, the ending was he falls off a waterfall, but then yeah, in Alpha 3. And he died all those days. So yeah, there's three different deaths, but the canon one we're going with is the waterfall since they created the stage for it. Also like, I think according to Tiamat Street Fighter plot guide, which I'll make him drop at every opportunity, the second iteration of every series is the canon story one, and the third one is the epilogue. Okay.

Yeah. So the third strike is an epilogue to Giant Pat. Yeah, exactly. So and gameplay-wise, we see fucking Air Flash Kick linker into Crouching Jab into Flash Kick again. Like, he can fucking get in. This is the- Like, okay, so you had Ryu and Chen Li, and you gotta have them, right?

But you're like, man, I was, I think we talked about this, I was worried, man, we're gonna get like most of the Street Fighter 2 cast again. The world warrior. I want new characters, or at the very least, old characters that were not in force, right? And so when Charlie was shown, it was like, okay, Charlie definitely fulfills one of those criteria. Yes. We haven't seen him in ages, but then they went so much farther with exactly what I wanted.

This is Charlie in the future. Charlie in the future is not Charlie from before. It's not Charlie anymore. Yeah. He's different. It's the actual possibility of the should be canon Sakura as a gym teacher. No, you're not gonna- Yeah.

Like, this opens the possibility of like- Well, we just got Sakura, so I mean, like, you were just saying, the characters- I know, but if you're gonna- No, but if you're gonna bring back characters- Make them different. Tekken, or Soul Calibur, then. Make them older and- Use their ages.

Yeah. But you're not talking about moves, necessarily. No. I mean moves. I, like, I mean, that character is not the same. Okay. They got older. Like, Ken should be totally different because he's been at home raising a kid for four years

or so. No, because Ryu and Chun-Li don't look any different at all. Well, yeah. Like, all the characters that- Iconic things are iconic. Exactly. Exactly. Unfortunately.

As long as Odo's on the helm, fucking Sakura will always be a sprinkler. Wearing that sprinkler. Well, I don't know, because Charlie and Bison that you see at the T's at the end, like, they, like, every, every Street Fighter character has their costume. This is what this character looks like. Yes. Very, very rare exceptions, like the Chun-Li Alpha stuff, right? But Charlie, being all stitched up in Zombie Man and having the dot in his forehead, that's

different. And Bison's wearing a full coat. I can't believe that wasn't his original design. Yeah. It's so good. To be fair, that might, like, I know we're excited, but that might just be promotional art or render. No.

We'll see how it looks once we actually see him right now. We'll see. We'll see. That's awesome. Dude, old birdie. Not even old, just older, older birdie. I put my chain down. Yeah.

I am wearing a suit now. His balding. Like, just like, like, Street Fighter never changes their characters. Fighting games plus time equals best entrance into fighting games, like, like, franchise. Like, Street Fighter always went too far with our characters or our iconic, so they can't change. So they would just make a new character instead of aging an old one. And KOF usually went all too far where every single fucking iteration would completely

change the move, which is awesome. Right? You know, yeah. But there's a happy medium in there. There is a happy medium. And that's, like, Charlie is that. Now, let's, let's not forget the most important part of this trailer, which is the instant kill death moves of knocking someone into a train.

And sending them on their way. If they have fucking real bout shit, will you win the round because the opponent just gets driven away is the best. That, like, like. That's more entertaining. Wait, you want to bring it out of bounds? Yeah. That, that is better than a death jam fatality.

That is better than a whole format. Like, the train, fuck the train hitting you, you get kicked onto it and leave the snow rematch. The best. Yeah, that's it. That's the best. And it should say, out of the ring. Yeah.

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

I want people falling into manholes. I want them, like, getting hit into ladders. Yeah. I want Bob dancing on top of that weird commando elevator. Bob? Yeah. Bob's in a different game. I'm thinking of, oh, is it real fast?

Oh, god. It's real fast. No, I'm thinking of one of the final fear games in which they, like, you go off the edge and the guy goes out of bounds. Yeah. Sure. And then the deadlock guy, I think his name was Bob. Bob Wilson.

Bob Wilson. No, he's a regular fighter in the game, though. Because there's a clip in my head of him falling through the glass of an elevator, and then the elevator starts to rise, and he's just dancing on top of it. Yeah. And like, okay, yeah, because you can knock a guy into the glass and then he'll be on top of an elevator. He'll be rising up.

And I think certain characters have a dumb thing that they do. And they're like, oh, I think Bob might dance. Yeah. You see fucking Ryu hailing a cab, punching you into it, and tapping the back of the cab and sending it on its way. It's going to be great. It's going to be great. It's going to be great.

It's going to be great. They changed the way the game looks. They have the lighting completely changed now. And it looks like four now. Expect it to continue to change. Yeah, probably. Yeah. We saw it change, like, what, four times?

Many, many, many times. And for four, and that was before the fucking nightmare prototypes that came out recently that are just the ugliest looking things. No, no. We mean from the actual build that was going to be a thing to now, at least four or five. And yeah, we can see that the Chunli spam morrigan fucking thing almost has an answer in the form of Charlie being able to teleport. So if they go for a slightly more hyper approach to these characters, you're expecting crazy

ass shit. If Ryu's unblockable fireball in his mode goes through all projectiles and then is still unblockable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, that can be an answer for that shit. Four cacokins on screen, one dungeon just cuts through them all. And it goes fast enough that it'll tag or some shit. Anything that facilitates more aggressive play rather than did.

Totally agree. It was a fucking good thing. Totally agree. I'm sick if they found a way to work met some news like instant exploding fireball version in there to get that Takuma kind of like it's just the force of my key. Yeah, yeah. I love that. Yeah.

All his Marvel variations of fireballs are great. Honestly, the rapid ones too. It's fun. Yeah. It's silly that he's holding his hand out and little P shots are coming. But it's funny. I like it. Yeah.

All the other big news this week is fucking Sega is now Sega games. Yeah. Last week. Yeah. It was pretty cool. Sega service games games. Actually. Yeah.

Service of my games. If you have a mobile farm. That's what the acronym was. So yeah. Sega exits the console market, renames themselves to Sega games. Now, now a lot of the story has some sort of update or maybe or something. And there's an update. There's an update now.

The update is Sonic Team plans to continue making Sonic for consoles. There's a variety of Sega games like just released on consoles. Like they're not fully exiting the console market. I just think their old plan was clearly not working, you know. Well, if what they were putting out was considered still being in the console market, at this point, we're going to get what? Besides a Sonic game? Like nothing, dude.

I don't know. The racing series, Aliens Will Live On, Project Evo will continue. Ryu Ga Gotoku isn't going to stop Yakuza. But no Jet San Radio, god damn it. No Sega IPs. What is Yakuza? Is that not a Sega IP? Yakuza.

That's not getting published yet. Yakuza. That's not true. Anyway. I don't know. I don't think they're going to. Yeah, but it's a huge one. And you know, either watching.

I love how a lot of these like news articles are just quoting a two channel. Yeah. You know, like a lot of quotes from people going like, were they ever really even alive? Or it was a quote those long lines of they were dead for many years now. Like it's just a very Japanese way of looking at it. Yeah. I know this is stupid of me. This is my fault.

But when I look at this thing and I says, hey, Sega's going to double down on mobile, and PC development, I go, well, they just put out the Valkyrie. No, I'm stupid. You're not. That's not what that fucking means. You're not getting vanquished for PC. I'm not getting virtual fighter on PC. Fuck.

It means browser games. No one gets virtual fighter. Yeah. So that's, that's. But they've been a really good PC publisher. So everyone's talking about all this and all I can feel in my heart is like, God, tell me virtual fighter will continue to exist. Like I will sacrifice the Yakuza series at the altar of fucking virtual fighter for fuck's

sake. Virtual fighter. They got it. No, man. You know what? You know what? Like I don't know if arcades. General I cannot continue to exist in a world in which virtual fighter died.

It actually totally can and it makes sense why it can. No. We know it. We've been banning over a hundred costumes to make it a bit more appealing to general audiences. Those are soft bands. Yes. So let's roll right into it then.

We've got the Dead or Alive community basically coming together saying. There's like a fuffle. They recommend that he owes soft band a list of over sexualized costumes. Especially if you're on stream. In order to try and like kind of clean up the image that Dead or Alive has been giving itself. Well I'm ten years old. What does TO stand for?

Pardon me? Well I'm ten years old. What does TO stand for? Tournament organizer. Exactly. Okay. I have a problem from this is that you shouldn't even be doing this game at all then. Play something else if you don't want the main appeal of the game to not be the main appeal

of the game. All right. Well here's what's up though. Like. I know it's a legit fighting game. DOA 5. Now it is. But Matt that's like saying stop playing Smash competitively because you're not using items

like. Yeah it's the community has been for years. This is just a visual thing and not a game. Admittedly the community for years has been rolling their eyes at the not just everyone's perception of the game but the game itself for doing that because Inagaki used to be unapologetic about it and like the people that took over just kept that legacy up and they're not going to change what Dead or Alive is or means for the people. You know what?

They don't buy the game but the community but the people of the tournament players are like but fuck this is a good game that we're trying to get people into. But we can't. But we can't. And here's the thing. Say you soft ban the fucking costume right? Because it's like ah it's embarrassing to have this game associated. Whatever.

Like the way that the costume selects are formulated in those games. You got to scroll past them anyway. You have to pass by them. Like there's no like people are going to know they're in there. Yeah. Okay how about this? How about they in the options menu of Dead or Alive final last ultimate round whatever the fuck.

You have a toggle and it says open meal mode on off. The community has actually been specifically asking for this exact feature for like a decade. But that's Team Ninja and not the community. No. They don't want to sell you the titty pack like anything that's like the put this in the no the community can't make the game. You know. It was at a crossroads you either choose the titties or you don't choose.

And here's the thing where I don't know how well you remember this but remember making fun of the I'm a fighter. Like because it's hilarious. Yeah. Because it was like this fucking cheesecake stuff is trying to take itself seriously. They were actually trying and it didn't work and the instant that that seemed to be clear that it didn't work. They doubled down on the creepy shit harder than they ever they started to make little

girl characters. Yeah. There's hundreds of dollars of string bikinis now because I was telling Pat like when I walked in and I was like oh you're playing tons of Dead or Alive huh he's like yeah it's super good. And I go hey remember Mila or Mila right Mila they try to push her. And they're like yeah they didn't take nobody bought it go back to the titties. Yeah.

She was like the poster girl for the yeah and now Marie Rose is the fucking poster girl as she should be. So he was the coolest. It's a noble effort. I think it's a noble effort on the community's behalf but the product they're working with it's like the product is working against you. Everyone stop looking at the porn. Just read the articles.

And that's a hard sell in any way right stop looking at porn. Just read the articles in fucking penthouse. There was an analogy that I thought was perfect that I saw about this topic was even if you ripped out all the photos out of Playboy you're still getting caught reading Playboy. No one is covered. The cover is still going. You didn't fool anybody. The mental share is like the mind share it's like this is going to this is going to flip

no like say they were hard bands to the default costumes like some of the like that's not going to change the fact that like Tina gets down on her knees and starts panting when she loses. Yeah. It's a tough it's a tough loss like he's been cleaning up its image it can do that for like three or four games in a row and someone's like you fucking playing DOA dude like that. It's unsavable. You have to rebrand it as something you have to call it like alive or dead.

Just end it. Just end the same and they realize that and that's when they're like OK let's push this to the fucking limit. Let's push it to the limit like because the creepers are going to leave and the people that are kind of creeped out but like fighting games they're not going to leave either who's going to leave. No one you fucking do you pull a full metal panic with it. You split it up into the volleyball series and the fighting series.

No. No. Different names. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. OK. And you go all in on the volleyball. So this is how far they've gone to creep up the main game.

Let's just fucking wait for the next volleyball game and see how extreme that game goes. It's 2015. I don't see them making like a new one of those like there was that Vita or whatever we released. That was just like a paradise on the PSP. Yeah exactly. Please Liam tell us about that game. It's not a very good port to be honest.

The resolution doesn't do it any services. But like I don't see them doing the volleyball thing again now they said they want to like they said they want to just the other way you know I'm serious I didn't even hear that but I knew I'm like why not. They would totally do it. I just what else can we put jiggle physics on. We already got the ass entities covered. Let's put them there.

Yeah. No. Let's put them there. Let's put them there. You can't. Oh my god. No. We can get more extreme you guys.

I think like it's just yeah there's no saving it and they're just going to double down until they break a law somewhere. Yeah. Oh god. Find out we'll put us in jail but don't back it off. Yeah. That pay off the official. The characters are in the game right now.

Yeah. Meanwhile on the other side of things what then just pay off the officials with swimsuit money. Yeah. There you go. There you go. Meanwhile on the flip side MK is just throwing its new shit at you and like I've never seen a series.

This is big hero six. I've never seen a series trailer clean up its act so fucking thoroughly. I feel kind of bad for another realm because that story trailer and the brutality stuff is amazing and I still don't care as much as the Charlie trailer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's fucking Street Fighter and that's true.

I feel bad because that's on me. But man oh man is MK at ten like stepping it the fuck I feel more inclined to celebrate someone that cleaned up their act rather than someone that's always consistent. Well I guess yeah but it's Street Fighter it's Mortal Kombat like this is the age old fucking the difference is we're not I'm not even going to have this conversation. The difference is like Street Fighter is your friend that like went away to like China for like a decade for a new job you're like I'm never going to see him again and he fucking came back it was the best you're lying it out and it's awesome and like Mortal Kombat

was the friend that stayed but like on a shitty job and turned into like a piece of shit and became a drunk and then like clean themselves up and now they're cool again. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty succinct. It's succinct but I'm just like I rather pat that person on the shoulder it's like good job man. Fucking good.

I might not love you as much as other people but you get you get a gold star. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. That being said the story trailer Mortal Kombat was absolutely go nuts like holy shit a thing to look at every three seconds what I don't like about it is like your main team is just young justice. Well yeah. Young and good.

So we've got oh shit sorry hold on we're losing Liam. Oh no. All right. Sorry Sampai. This is rough. We'll carry it out. We'll carry it out with you. Yeah.

Okay. Without you. I rather go on without us Liam. Liam says please tell everyone I love them if I don't come back. Oh. Okay. Oh geez. Come back from Mexico.

It's gonna be hard for him to come back when you leave Skype. Mexico is rough with Danny Trayo. But yeah we've got this like here's the story trailer introducing Jax's daughter from Laos Descendant, Cassie Cage and what's his name son Kenchy. Kenchy's son. Like fucking just everyone. And there's like more character confirms in there. Aaron Black.

Aaron. Ninja Cowboy. Yeah. You look great. You look awesome. Sandel lives boo. Yeah. That's okay.

Rain is in there. Rain is in there. I saw that comic. Somebody sent me that comic. No he's in the trailer too. Of Kotal Kahn versus Rain and it's my favorite thing in the fucking world. One thing that is kind of lame with like the flash forwards though is when every character from the old game has a child or student you know what I mean.

When you're fighting to the death all the time you gotta preserve your legacy or something. Like I'm fine with Sonia having like a child but Jax also has a child and they're both in the number 10. That's what I mean. Plus Kenchy plus Kung Lao. It's like everyone has a prodigy. Have they explained how Kung Lao came back for being like fucking super murdered? In the dialogue between Raiden and Kung Lao he just goes Raiden's like Kung Lao where

have you been? He's like eh. Because like killing a huge amount of the cast at MK9 was awesome. Awesome. Right? And then like you're like what are they going to do? And most of those people aren't back. But some are and the ones that are back are some of the ones that got killed the hardest.

Kung Lao got fucking bisected into chunks. They're going to find a way. Dude human scorpion is in that trailer. Yeah you have cool. Steve Bloom doing Sub-Zero now and Sub-Zero's out of the suit. He looks like Joel from Last of Us. Yeah he's just a guy. He's just an old tired man.

The last time this happened was Soul Calibur 5 where everyone has a kid or a student or a disciple type of thing. And I kind of feel like MK, I usually I'd say don't do it too much, keep it light and then bring in new characters. But they are doing that in this case. They just have such a huge roster that this is the light version of it. And like I said all these hero characters are all a hero character. They all seem like the leader of their own group and they're a group of those leaders.

That's why it's going to be tough for them to get along and follow Cassie Cage's lead. I guess so but they're all a little like when you group them all together in a group they look a little bland all together. I mean you know the original costumes. But the original cast was like that too but we just know them because of nostalgia. No I just mean like it's difficult to say but yeah I think like saying Young Justice or Young Adventures. Avengers Next.

Avengers Next. Whatever. And I just get that feeling but overall the story mode is just it looks like I thought the MK9 story mode was epic you know to use it over this term but when I see this and I see marching armies and all this stuff. Well that's it and they did say we have to go above and beyond for the next one last time because the thing is don't forget MK9 story was amazing for fighting games. That's what made it so landmark and pronounced.

And this time around they're like we're just going for a video game story. So yeah pushing boundaries in ways that other companies can't come keep up with you know and and and um. At Capcom. Someone at Capcom didn't someone at Capcom say like multiple people at Capcom have said so. Yo. Yeah we get it.

This is awesome we should do this and I don't remember where I fucking got this but I remember somebody telling me that Capcom like internally knew that they fucked up with the vignettes in the later games that like that sucked and then MK9 came out and embarrassed them. I remember what was the one gigantic negative for Street Fighter 4 where review scores would just take off chunks of numbers. These animated endings are terrible. Still dead. And now there were and the lack of animated endings in the follow up.

Yeah. Yeah. But you know what Willie like that is like ha ha laugh at those reviews but like the fact that we're a bunch of assholes that read the TM UP plot guide if they did an MK9 or MKX style story mode for SF5 we will all go crazy. Crazy. Loser modes. Absolutely.

Charlie where have you been and then you talked to Char. You know what if they even did an excerpt style thing. Yeah. Which like the story mode is just separate. It doesn't have to be a big like cut scene heavy movie per se it just has to get that story that information out some way. For our help the fantasy is like a combination story mode world tour mode. Yes.

Yes. Don't do don't do BlazBlue though. Don't do. Don't do MeltyBlood. You had it right with Alpha 3. Oh the world tour. Yeah. World tour man.

Yeah. But then you switch between characters as you go. But but cut scene pulling out into round one. Yeah. Is super fucking great. Brutalities man. Those are interesting. Not what I expected.

It was still confusing at first because the brutalities were a completely other dumber thing. Oh they were so stupid. They were so stupid. Everyone was like oh these aren't like the old fatalities this is so stupid. And now they're stupid. Now they're just ultra enders they're just quick finish fatalities without the big pop in circumstance.

I think it was like when we're looking at that news breaking it was still wasn't clear then Ed Boo just clarified it's like you do a combo you end with either a throw or special whatever it is. And it has to kill an opponent. If it makes its energy the opponents energy like bar just diminish then it triggers this thing. It doesn't. It doesn't.

Yeah. And some people are still like but I want to do a fatality. Well then don't do the move. Yeah. Exactly. But it's also interesting because it's almost like how can we make Mortal Kombat more violent. Well people that half of all matches are going to end in brutal death because fatalities were not happening.

But what's awesome is that they're quick. They're not that long. So they're tournament viable fatalities. I think they definitely are. They're quick and some of them are old fatalities like the Riden train the one where Riden comes out of your body like he had that in one of. Okay. What did you think of Quan Chi's Quan Chi's is amazing.

There's only one thing I don't like about it. They need to offset the portal just like one foot over the right because I hate that it kind of I hate that the torrent of blood hits his right shoulder mostly. Oh okay. Sure. Like it's this dumb visual thing. I think that Quan Chi retains his godlike fatality status. Yeah.

And like Killer Instinct does with Ultra is like yeah you do an Ultra because there's a gameplay benefit but no one wants to watch the animation. So cancel it out with an Ultra Ender right away which is what's most tournament through. And this is that in a different way. Yeah. I appreciate fucking Kung Lao it manning your face into mincemeat. Yeah. I think Kodal Khons where he just takes his saw and just slowly saws you and then they're

nuts. When I watched the stream they were saying well you're going to have to do lots of conditions to make these go off. And then Boon on Twitter says no just kill people with EX moves. Like which one is it? I was saying to Woolly that I really dislike this stream that they do for MKX Now where I thought just those videos of Ed Boon or someone just saying. This is their variation just a voiceover and just full gameplay.

You remember? This stream is taking that over and the extremes are fun but these guys. Those intro videos were great. Remember way back. I don't know. I don't like it as much. There's the start of this kind of trailer and it was for Red Dead Redemption. Yeah.

Oh god those are the best. That technique started where it's like we're going to have a cool voiceover guy and we're going to show you like 10 minutes of footage and it's going to just tell you how these systems work. They got me to buy every single fucking game they did it for. And when MK started to do that like that's clearly the template where like this is Quar-G. This is his bat mode. This is his skeleton mode or fucking whatever and then just here's the kind of stuff you

can do. Bam bam bam. So good. So classy. And it's a fighting game so you can't just do a hunting the big daddy trailer. Right. Yeah. And watching these guys on stream like blow through matches and just beat guys.

So their health is low and then do the command for brutalities is like the lamest possible way you could show that. Yeah. Like even we have the decency when we do instant kill things to record it and then cut it all down so that it's watchable. Yes. Yes. I mean it's tough.

It's a tough thing to have to do that like like on stream live and all that. I like good job for even attempting to do it but I think it's a way less effective way to get across hype fighting game shit. Yeah. It sucks the magic out because it's like it's like you and your buddy in training mode just like OK we'll do the thing. What they should do if they're going to do this to get the hype going is continue to put out those videos but just put them out after they do the streams like like K.I.

Both. Yeah. Do both. K.I. does the stream and then who's doing the K.I. It's still low and it jumps around from Microsoft to Iron Galaxy. But Iron Galaxy tender moments has been doing it mostly. See well the thing is like a less fixable problem is that Keats and guys in Iron Galaxy have way more personal charisma than the guys they have doing the end-taste stream.

That's a big part of it as well. That's a big part of it as well. I don't watch Keats do whatever. Exactly. It's like complain about broccoli. You know like for a while introducing Agano since. Oh man. Keats is like a troll so he presents the information and the fighting game character in a trollish

way or is it oh oh but that's it oh but I can do this and he waits for you to actually show me. Yeah he's like what are the comments saying. What are the comments saying. Broken worst character ever. OK good. Perfect. Perfect.

Yeah. That reminds me I don't know how something that Max said in the stream last night and I feel bad because I was making a joke and everyone took me super seriously and ran with it where they were talking about see my be my vest and all that simpsons shit right. I don't know how to stream so I asked Max hey Max if I run a stream in which I stay up all night eating 100 slices of American cheese how do I do it but no one got it like no one knew I was talking about your and so now everyone is hassling me to eat a hundred slices of cheese.

Have you been up all night eating cheese. I don't want to eat the cheese Max. That's my coward back down but I'll sing if Max is listening I'll sing this is my best any time. I know all the fucking words because I'm a loser who loves simpsons. So 17 minutes of footage and we're still trying to figure out what the fuck is Firewatch. Did you watch the footage. I did.

I did not watch it was great like when it when it matched like yeah so there's just you game but like I don't know if you're a Firewatch and like the giant ball panel has totally poisoned my idea of what that game is like I was like okay what do you think it is what we think it is after that panel is I don't know what the fuck I think it is I watch the full 17 minutes so what is it take a guess what genre is it first person walk around with adventure game elements yes that's you know what that's what it is yeah but it how about the panel took an hour to tell us that because fucking because Jeff just like he was wasn't getting the answers he was looking for and dude was then everyone's dancing around

didn't it's like but what the fuck is Firewatch Brad's gotta leave more on sinks man. Firewatch has something really important which is all the great writers from Walking Dead season one that left then were missed and were sorely missed Gary would have saved us it was fantastic because the first like two or three minutes I'm like what am I watching here this is just silent gameplay of a guy walking in a forest and then you're a park ranger yeah you work with a lady your boss that works in a watch tower way way way you can always see the watch on the horizon I love that shit names I absolutely love your cursor to the watch tower and always be able to take a walk and talk you out and say hey what's

up and have running conversations with it and the dialogue is so fucking just natural well there would be no game if not for the writing it is did the gameplay that this this this just came out is that the one with the kids with the boombox yes okay because like what hearing hearing descriptions of those interviews in which like they didn't even they didn't even think that people would just take the boombox and walk into the forest that's what happens so then they had to know and that's a scenario they did not anticipate so they had to write new dialogue for the kids a lot why is that guy just stealing our boombox yeah because like they're expecting you to just do whatever with it then and you get to those

kids and then then you have a couple dialogue choices to say and what I like about these dialogue choices that they don't seem to me like they're just dialogue it's not they're going to remember this it's not that oh this is going to lead to this it's just different things to say just for fun you kids jerks and you can say like these two girls are skinny dipping and what I like about this game you cannot see anybody's face you never see what anybody looks like how do they manage that the girls are way way off in the distance in the middle of the lake how do they manage that with people you're talking to right next to you and you're always on a walkie-talkie you're in this gameplay trailer at least you

never see a single person 17 minutes okay I like it okay thing I like that that's a very weird slant that makes me like huh the girls are just silhouettes and they're calling at you and they're like hey pervert when you're teasing on us and you can say uh no or fireworks are illegal or yeah I am and the guy goes uh no and then and then he's like you can't use these fireworks here and they're like we can use whatever we want and then you the guy just takes the fight you can just pick up all the fireworks and one of the other choices is I'm taking your shit because I'm taking your shit the alcohol all of it uh motherfucker and he just walks away picks up the boombox and throws it and crashes against

the wall and I'm like what is this game that is the question it was so interesting and this just skyrocketed up to my like I need to play this fire watch frog fractions too most likely to be frog fractions too so everyone that played that demo because this one is just out now but everyone that played it at packs they got a chance to walk away no we couldn't because the lineup was well I think one is behind closed doors but two it was impossible to get your hands on it you know like even for the people that were going behind and like it looks really amazing like it's just like strong strong visual design this is what I was going to tell you you know who the art director of this game is the guy that designed

the Boba Fett Star Wars Mondo poster in your in your room oh shit the guy that all of those a lot of stuff yes all the moss is a fucking guy he's like the art design the art director or something like that holy shit it's in the gaff thread about that's a huge deal I told you have told you about the ever seen a genre evolve as fast as the adventure game has oh shit you're right the return of the adventure no yeah the modern adventure games they died for a good but let's let's take like the monkey island remake or the newer salmon max's or even the back to the back to the future back to the future to walking dead to Dearestre and fucking amnesia machine for pigs and to fucking this like it's a bolt of lightning and I

think the reason part of the reason why is because now that like we are figuring out how to make these mechanics work with what we've known about movies for so long all you're doing is you're going I know the end result yeah I want it to be cinematic all I have to do is connect the dots and work backwards to it instead of building up into something I don't know what it is yeah you know which was what the old adventure games looking at if I was to give it a tone it's like mystery it's not really horror and there was no like but there was like I was telling you about earlier really that you see a guy and he's got a flashlight and it's dark now and he's pointing at you he's on top of a ridge but since the light is point forward and it's dark you can't see the dude you

can just see a silhouette and then you can do your your walkie-talkie prompt comes up you don't have to press it but you go um there's a guy looking at me and then your your your boss goes okay a guy is he doing anything else no he's just looking at me and then he goes well hey oh he's gone and she goes uh good job that's that encounter yeah yeah and I'm like who the fuck was that I have a feeling the tone is eerie Indiana like it's it's I put one on the board for a fucking eerie oh my god like the fact that you made that reference and the fact that you even remember it yeah I don't want to fucking talk it was this white TV fucking show that was just you're not afraid of the dark because it was more funny than scary but it was weird it was just it was just creepy yeah the way

you're describing this is like kind of a mystery but we're just like the smallest hint of slightly more interesting slightly unsettling I'm really looking for you and then you beat the game and it's not fire what's it called fire watch fire watch it's like no it's fire walk that's fire walk with me it's like oh god this is this is it this is actually secretly season three of Twin Peaks is directed by sweary oh god he's never watched it though never watched it he directed it but he never watched it that's challenging they're making gunvolt to moving along yeah there's this game called hunger why do you even put that on the duck it's technically news but unless you change the game in every way except the art style to get up to that high platform you got to jump off the

goomba's head okay well I'm good yeah okay there's a game called hunger that looks really interesting and what was it so give me that yeah you had this trailer Matt pops it up and we're watching this trailer and I'm looking at it I'm like yeah this looks like it's got an interesting tone and mood but like the visuals and the movement this looks like what a little big planet should have been okay and then it uses the same like physics and the jumping but you know it doesn't it's not like a heavy platform or whatever and you get to the end of the trailer and you see the name of the company which I forget oh it was a weird name if really old or something something but then and then I jump on wiki what else they've done they've ported all of the little big planet games they ported

tear away to the ps4 they did a lot of little big planet dlc but not they're not media molecule there's somebody else yes and it's like so now you just can't unsee it you know this is their dive kick yeah we've we've worked on games like this for so long we're just making one and it's kind of like a stealthy platformer and there's gigantic beans pink tight men that are chopping up in things in a kitchen yeah fantastical adventure yeah it looks really creepy so too like a giant eyeball inside a door like really weird stuff so yeah I dropped the trailer in there it looks looks really interesting did you guys talk about slain at any point other than you saying you backed it uh not yet because that happened between the last podcast and now I that I only

have two things to say about that game that game looks really like visually amazing yeah and that is the most reasonable kickstarter goal I have ever seen like eight thousand it is like twelve thousand fucking dollars and it's like we made the game is done yeah yeah the game is completely yeah I backed it which we just need the 12k this is the most this is a PlayStation one port of a pc game from 96 you're right that's what it looks like to me you know what I mean yeah like it looks like Castlevania and Legacy of Kane one there's moments where you have to wait for the cd to load yeah you know like that's exactly that game looks good yeah I just I saw like as a Liam and Matt have bet what's this yes like I saw I saw hey Matt's back this I mean

I should check it out that's pretty much how this goes the very first thing I see is like nine thousand out of 12 what and then you scroll down you see that the guys are making it our industry bats yeah I know it's like half the shit I bet like I have fucking million dollars like strength of the sword as well like like 14 like 18 or whatever is nothing you know um that that was cool uh y2k is the other thing that's popping up where I'm watching the white y2k thought we were done the postmodern rpg which if you need to look this up you don't google y2k 2k you google yeek because it's yiik yeah it's a little tough it's a little bit I think I think copyright reasons are might have been and this is a game that you can't possibly really describe

oh this is the fucking hipster game yeah hipster rpg oh I saw this I don't know how I feel about this I think it looks fun I don't like hipster me being the main character that's fucking you holding some records all right it's a little too much but um no I liked it and while I was watching this trailer I was like okay so when's the Kickstarter going up oh they're just making it this is just a trailer to say hey we're making this game there is no Kickstarter yeah that's like games it looks like a type of game that would be asking for that yeah no but it's no way games are being made by people sometimes like I feel like Kickstarter has become a genre because like because part of that is adjust your expectations to the number that they hit

yeah like like like like almost like not even a genre but like like a platform yeah you know a console it's like there's some there's some way far out there outliers like eternity where you should expect eternity to be what that's supposed to be is if Kickstarter didn't exist probably has more shit but then there are everything within a certain range you're like oh yeah Kickstarter this is a nice indie game kind of thing yeah yeah so and yeah I was kind of shocked this is not a Kickstarter game there there's just making it man um I changed the main characters how hair color and I'm not my hair no never because all I have to do is put the glasses on and I start wearing plaid no no yeah you just like it or not you're a few years away from that

we've also got uh the new announcement that fucking Joe to the MAD has a new game coming out and based on the ancient wetwork style delayed battle chasers I feel like Joe mad like he never even came up with any new ideas he just is still trying to get the old ones I never looked it up but why why was battle chasers like a year per issue what was the deal do you know probably a shitty publisher man because he was Joe mad giant comic superstar at that time and that that comic sold like a million copies every issue whenever just stop it whenever you're hearing production things like that it's that's where it goes who was it was an image or it was wild storm it was Jim Lee's wild storm yeah I

read about it in this article but yeah so uh airship studios that's the name of the uh yeah let me let me get it it's got an interesting name it's like airship something so this is his new company and uh like you kind of hope for dark ciders maybe but no he's like he wants to make battle chasers a thing again wants to have like a new comic book and wants to have a game be the other pillar to bring it back if this is coming out and uh canon busters is happening at the same time there's cross promotion we're good we're so good this future that brings us back to old psm covers yes exactly what a specific time nexus because when psm was coming out of those covers i didn't have a playstation one yet so but when i saw those covers i would still buy the magazine

they would actually get me to buy oh man oh yeah yeah so so joe madd and former vigil team uh devs are are uh now airship studios airship studios and the game is airship syndicate airship syndicate yeah it's way cooler uh so like the game is just announced to exist they have like nothing done they're just saying like this is what we're going to be doing for the next couple of years and that promotional artwork is fucking there's a sword yeah there's dude garrison i believe is the main character we're in there red monica which i always think it's a weird combination of red sonia and monica from friends red sonia very different type of person you know but yeah it looks really cool like uh i hope that like you know gets off the ground and like game start game made

because it's like way off in the future well let's see if they make a kickstarter yeah they said it's an option we're looking at uh i have a slight you look like you have something to say i have a small you i have a small news update to something i was talking about earlier about rivillet tons co-op on pc yeah there's an official statement by a capcom rep posting on gaff saying we're looking in the uh prevent we're looking at providing potential solutions as to local co-op and then underneath that is uh we will also be adding in the online co-op later which i did not know it did not ship with online co-op on pc yeah that's been on for a while and this is in and this the body of it is how the latest patch broke performance on pc and this whole post is

underneath the guy explaining how he modded in local co-op in a day yeah so exactly so good so fucking good job capcom like remind yourself of this though is that when you have a giant company and you have one guy one guy is unrestricted can do whatever he wants and when people say doronte or some guy did this that's because they can they have no red tape to go over fortunately a company is working in such a way that there is one guy that can do it but he can't yeah but they don't get fired they advertise that this no no of course of course but when you say one guy was able to fix it in like a day it's like they could but they can't because so much red tape in your yeah but i don't care but doesn't but doesn't have a land mode land yeah what probably no one

no one does land anymore no because it's not a thing anymore that sucks sure but it's like it's like throw away these hdmi cables i want composite always no but this is for a different it's the ability to do a form of here's the deal that's not the same screen you completely lost that battle with starcraft 2 yeah like why starcraft 2 does not allow land but like but what i just i don't understand why it died that's a method as they want you to go through their online infrastructure that's it that was star that was starcraft 2 that's like super outrageous it's like fucking like even um um it like is like old uh classic xbox supported land games 360 supports fucking land but but no one fucking bullies i brought i brought a god damn 360 to your house

and we play gears of war one land and and like uh what should we call it there's there's even now there's like that that uh Gundam game uh x versus full boost where you connect to psn to just get online into the match with each other yeah it's dumb bullshit and then it's just like no matter how shit your connection to psn is if you're in the same room next to each other that's fine you're connecting well it's like it's almost like a land anyway so you're fine you know i know this doesn't have anything to do with but you mentioned shit connection to psn they need to do something about the fucking ps3 store it's so fucking bad it's too late it's too late dude when i went to go buy under night in berth it took me three attempts of course because the store crashed twice oh i never

had my store my store crashes one out of four or five uses for me it seems to be one of two on my end it's really bad it's the worst i've ever seen and don't try to go too fast because no i know exactly what i want is this recently is this like first since forever ever since they changed it to the ps4 store ever since i bought the console okay because when i bought a bunch of shit on ps on my ps3 which was like i don't know like a dozen things this was like months and months ago so no it's ever like it's been over a year that ever since they changed to the new layout like you really you met you guys used to work in testing you must remember what the old playstation store you still look like yeah that thing ran fine it was hard to find shit

this one it's easy to find shit but it crashes every time you use it yeah it's gotten to the point where i use the website exclusively for ps3 stuff it it it just it sucks when the store is like like is does that i don't like the e-shop at all no it's garbage it's really fucking terrible it's so bad um on it like the only thing that's really doing it right is like steam well that's that's yeah yeah of course steves doing the digital store sure and and like the the 360 one is like it's fine it's like sometimes it can be a bit annoying but for the most part of my marvel costumes and being totally unable the problem is when you're putting every fucking downloadable icon and whatever in the same space yeah without filters it's like the 360 store is

like this workhorse store that was always easy to navigate here's what it is this 360 if you bing for shit in the 360 store it's garbage just go kill you but if you go manually through the channels it's it works i i feel like the the ps4 store is like text search thing where you pick a letter and you move forward that actually works really well so me and me and came to a realization that the best store is the we like the we shop have you seen it have you ever seen it the original yeah when we went back to it we're like oh my god this is so easy to get everything like it's slow and whatever it's a slow website yeah but it's so easy to get everything you want like it's like ah yeah i didn't like going to page seven of action classics yeah but there's

not that many Liam so it's fine Liam Liam came over when we uh for the episode one of small rpg and i was like oh i might as well download it and like we like we got there and it had been like years since either of us had seen it and we just laughed yeah that's basically what we did and fucking laughed it is like the 3ds e shop is bad but this is embarrassing on a scale like this this was the active shop up until like 2011 you know what the 3ds e shop is the best version of the e shop and that's the saddest thing in the world the double rows of just like new shit and relevant categories disgusting it that's the best one you know it is the lowest amount of screen real estate you could possibly get and that's because the resolution is so low that if you were

to make the icons any smaller you would not be able to read the text but what i'm saying is that like while embarrassing from a presentation standpoint oh yeah it took two seconds to find what i wanted there's nothing on there i thought there was and even i was like this is the we shop is the worst there's like you know obviously virtual console games are worth getting and Liam would just go through every page look no this game is really good no this one's really want this one you fight ghosts you like ghosts yeah and i'm like every single time Liam would come over to record my rpg there would be 45 minutes beforehand because we'd have to load up the we yeah we'd have to load up the we you and then we have to load up the we internal

and like that process of seeing the front end and then the other front end and seeing the virtual console stuff would always spark like a screaming at my television going what are you doing what are you fucking doing why did you restart the whole virtual console the the we shop is just a store with only impulse buy items at the end of the counter that's that's it's like a giant impulse fucking like section and right when we started to get fucking tired of like screaming at the we you front page as to restarting the virtual console that's when we started to notice wow man meme run just won't leave meme runs there forever meme meme run can't be stopped that is amazing that is a fucking eyesore that is that is like the wire or a plaza is the

least forward thinking thing in the world that this can happen will you are you familiar with i don't know what you're talking do you know what i'm sure a lot of people really want to go into you know what fucking meme run is no it's a guy with a troll face and with reddit memes going it running sideways and jumping over bullshit wait wait wait i'll cut it this is an xbox live indy like the worst of xbox live indy games like the worst the worst and it somehow has tons of traction and it made it onto the we show it makes it everywhere people talk about the the difference is is that it sold well enough now it's on the front like you know what's not on the warah warah plaza mario kart 8 you know what took its spot meme run and it's been there for months

and every time you turn your we you on there it is i mean i don't have it but and it's just like this fucking like what's happening what is going on with the software on the system yeah this trash someone figured out the fucking like they figured out how to do it like imagine if you turn on your xbox like 360 and silver dollar for a full year the the the tab that said games was like alderman or some shit well today when i opened up my steam page not too long ago i kept pushing this one silver dollar game on the front page but it's like they're one game that's actually good one finger death punch to lots of people yeah i heard about that but i was still like i saw a silver dollar logo and i figured out for it they're in ontario man we can go find them no i don't wanna

we can um unreal engine four is now free it's free everyone use this engine that a lot a lot of people have made a lot a lot of great games with now you can't hear me but i'm drawing an asterix in the air uh it's free until your game ships and then they take five percent of your money which is fine which is totally fine because that engine used to be crazy expensive and my questions are a are they basically going hey we're not getting as much revenue on this let's pull a unity yeah which has been a fucking smash success absolutely run away and deservedly because that engine apparently can do anything it can do anything on every single platform triple a great and secondly um does this free you e4 come with the amazing team support that you would get when

you're a customer of you know now to be fair one of the things of unreal engine three is their horrible lousy support when they yeah the complaints early on well the complaints that dudes like silicon knights would have against them and shit like that there's other companies but but but what this became as far as we know was like the like okay depending on how big and whatever your company is you got the license we'll send the dude down yeah so to figure shit i feel like i should fill in a slight amount of background on that concept the the reason why support was so bad in the early life cycle of unreal three yeah was because it wasn't unreal engine three it was unreal engine 2.5 yeah and they said we'll fucking sell it to you by a wear

or silicon knights but this engine is not done until we ship a game with it and then here's a war one happened and then support also they were their priority was making games yes at that time and now that they don't make games anymore yeah they like what happened to the ideology of the engine isn't done until we ship something on it i don't think it's gonna be we're looking fortnight is far away yeah anyway so like does the does like team that make made a game with that even exist at epic right now uh like who would even support you leave yeah but who would even what would the support team for your unreal engine 4 game even be like because no one's making games on it right internally fucking like exer just showed the world you don't need to yeah you know it's fine

uh yeah i don't know i don't know but there is uses unreal engine three yeah it does yeah yeah so the only game that i know that we've played that uses unreal engine 4 is that fucking daylight yeah the horror game that i that i struggle to remember anything of as the days go you know i remember about it what it's the daylight a game that is visually ugly and totally unimpressive everything every standpoint is the game more than any other thing that has happened that heated up and made my pc the loudest it has ever been i forgot about that it was audible on the recording before i turned it down because it actually made my fucking cpu internal and gpu fans all hit max the instant it loads in and that game looks like shit and it it didn't even run

in a solid 60 and a lot of that is probably on the developers the musician right yeah but that was the worst possible like first introduction to an engine remember if you've been playing pc games unreal engine three is the best you know why because your toaster is going to run that at 300 million frames a second with in 4k with all the like you know i thought the reason your pc struggled to to fucking run that was to load in all that amazing showbot written dialogue oh yeah writing so good oh man i feel like there's so many named writers in this business there's terrible like birch and and showbot and well gary what is cool but he didn't get a start in game writing that's true he wrote movies right yeah yeah you know it's bad movies but yeah but bad movies way

better than a good game there are many it's not even a lie um due to zero demand clay fighter remastered now you say zero but we have a show yeah that specifically could use this oh you know what i there is i'm not i'm not saying i'm ungrateful okay i feel like i should mention that like i've played a lot of fighting games i've never even seen play fighter in person like like that's how little i care about ready this week my history with hey max can you beat whatever the boss is so balls my history with clay fighter has always been the same it is the game comes out i rent it for a weekend with my brother play through it once and fucking kick it back and that's the end i popped in clay fighter 63 and a third and

clay fighter 63 and a third is funny for two reasons is why it's called clay fighter 63 and a third which i always thought was but once you get past that because that should break pre-search should it not no no because 64 was up to the dev it was really up to the dev yeah you do what you want with it okay uh that and also well that game has the most missing animation i've ever seen a fighting game where it just goes from zero to 60 like you're in animation frame one of a punch and then the next frame is the impact so the fuck that thing about 63 and a third is that it's got tons of this screenshots made it look like this is the next level of play fighting quality but then but the actual game looks worse than the super nintendo game in a in a bunch of

ways yeah in a bunch of ways but the problem is that the game has ultra combos it's got several super street there's a lot of shit there's cancels in that game it's ridiculous but the stages were just these shitty low poly 3d things yeah that they dropped the the the uh place breaks onto and the the the mesh fell apart so hard yeah it's just you're you're in a level that's hovering in like a black void a game face god and then you add that good old filter on it the good old vaseline filter because everyone needs vaseline boogerman and vaseline or from jim dude you're gonna not like jet force jim and i when you pop it back in i'm afraid i've been telling you about this forever i'm so scared i'm not even fighting it anymore anyway i the sculptor's cut of clay fighter is

what had characters there it was a blockbuster exclusive and characters that were shown when that game was being shown like clay fire 63 and a third they cut those characters out one of them was like a rabid dog lady liberty yeah and then they made a blockbuster exclusive release that apparently that game like looks better visually i don't know like as like all i want to know is like is if they can just it's one of it's like ki in the sense that the most iconic thing is the announcer yeah right ikabod clay wins the battle bad mr frosty's like oh bad and do you remember their decide the destiny version ladies and gentlemen ready to come here in the combatants for this extravaganza versus the blob i really like the the the battle bunny the honor schwarzenegger

rabbit or two uh t hoppy or something trigger hoppy trigger hoppy okay yeah uh clay fighter two has one of the best in show cinematics ever where it's just like it shows the hoppy on the fucking bike exactly like the tourney or two you would you would fall for clay fighter two judgment clay and we're back when it's a c2 and it's two metal like you would mark out that i would have marked out super hard and they did and i'm proud of it you're marking out right now i am thinking about it i get i'm thinking about it now it'll have its place we talked about this isn't on the first podcast we talked about a story about how interplay was coming back in skeleton form yeah like you you guys brought up interplay was coming back i'm like interplay's dead someone

bought the name they come back and then they said we're coming back and then they didn't yeah and then they said like four years later yeah did they're coming back and then they didn't and then like ten years later wait no just give me a minute well we were talking about this before it's like it's like when black isle was coming back and it's like every single fucking person that worked at black isle either works at obsidian uh in exile hair brained or quit the industry so how the fuck exactly is black oh it's just two guys it's just two guys that's like the name that's like when microsoft says oh there's going to be some rare stuff rare's coming back with some new games i'm like with who like well well the janitor that was working there when they were making banjo

uh he's there we have uh we've kidnapped clobb's family and he can't leave and don't forget the image that they used to like they had the audacity to show you mdk earth room gym and like all the other fucking like classics right there going like we're coming back it's like if booger man to people that aren't like i'm not as familiar with these developers because i i didn't have a 64 stuff like that but and people a lot of people weren't into the interplay or or blackout uh days so the example i can think of that would get this across to people is if capcom said we're restarting clover studios yeah right and you're like what the everyone who worked at clover quit and formed their own company who the fuck is coming back why are you even using the name what the fuck no look

it's beautiful joe it's like it's so coming yeah exactly yeah that's yeah man this is a studio that you personally closed down because they disappointed and then everyone quit oh there it is it's the first sign of the sleepycast after last night's night man we kept it up man i went to bed at eight thirty this morning we kept up the charade um but you want to talk about shit coming back well i guess now is the time i have to take the podium and speak out okay now is the time then reboot the guardian code rainmaker entertainment we talk about this every day presented by michael hefferon follows the adventures of four typical teens whose lives are upgraded in a big way when they discover they are next gen guardians super cool heroes that stream into cyberspace so they

can defend humanity from deadly computer viruses and malware bob dot and enzo will be a part of this series but they will not be the main characters what happened to daemon virtual a quest is that just gonna be a footnote hey bob what about daemon yeah that was some shit no well your analogy was now i know how transformers fans feel that's exactly it uh pause so i can show up pat for a minute what did you just say daemon didn't that just not end did you not see daemon rising there was a fourth season slash two movies called daemon rising followed by my two bobs that wrapped up oh that wraps it up yeah but why did he split it and put it in weird ways and everyone missed it like a lot of people did but there's i was way in a way there is a i checked it all the time and

there is an unbelievable movie called daemon rising that is the end of that arc that you need to see if you haven't seen it okay well and that's the most thing and well basically it's like fuck yeah so like obviously i understand that things are not going to be the same when you grow up with the thing and then they need it for kids again and whatever yeah but it's like uh but we're going straight to optimus prime is hanging out with a bunch of japanese kids so and they're the real heroes so the the thing here that you all that always hits you when this happens is it's you're like yeah i understand kids nowadays you know it has to be toned down it can't be catered directly to me but oh it can't be but the takeaway because there's always the like what are you complaining about

it's for kids right yeah but the takeaway is not that it's for kids the takeaway is that the kids of today have shit tastes there you go thank you because back in the day when the original was for kids it was still good yes you know this that being said we're calm calling this way of the fuck out because you know it's been what eight nine years in the making now and after trying to jump the interest for the money thanks for all your support here's the thing you didn't want and we finally get here and this is what we get an announcement about um we need to see the end results so i'm you know you know baited breath as you can imagine but it's probably just gonna probably ruin things yeah probably never come out see here's no never come out here's the thing

well you're in a position very similar to me it's a slightly different timeline oh actually the timeline's pretty close to the way i feel about evangelion right even if this is the worst retconi soul-destroying garbage that you've ever seen because that original series is complete and was complete for like 10 years nothing this new stuff can do can hurt you you can just you can put a you can just say you can put a yeah you can just say a blocker lock it that's the bad shit i'm gonna ignore it i feel like people can do that with star wars even yeah because that was like 20 years the only thing is that it did end on a cliffhanger i did but i well then you're fucked but then you're fucked but you know then fucking grace everything i just said no no because it didn't

end complete yeah it's right right and then galey is the perfect example because have you ever seen any more definitive anything than a movie called the end of this thing yeah that's no that is that is pretty definitive right and no but in my case what you get is an ending that is either a cliffhanger or a bad ending no no and i interpreted it as a bad ending and not bad in the sense of quality bad yeah bad in the sense of all things don't go the right way okay and so i'm okay with that because like twin peaks is in this scenario spoiler alert a million years later megabyte fucking wins awesome well they're not great well news lasts for you they can't continue that story thread well yeah um or unless they go here's what we did about him yeah you know

you know that would be the worst off camera you know about the idea of you so reaver voice clips to make it work shit of having a have a man sit there and read the story to you on a chair having to remake thing where they're like all they're hanging out with young kids and so what's a young kid just do the same thing you can have a matrix you can have a cool guy there but you're already set up and look i don't i don't know if gavin blurr is going to be involved on this but the main frame guy of which i call i'm going to call them rainmaker because they changed their name back to mainframe but you're not mainframe it no you're the barbie cg uh fact you're the yeah you're matel's bitch is what you are um you are fucking i'm sorry that's a car yeah well they made

like 50 of those yeah you know hey you saved max deal good job guys you wrapped up max deal in a classy anyway um i can just see there's a bunch of butter max deal i can just see like a bunch of people in an office like their ears prick up it's like oh woolly's talking shit about us oh no well like i feel that i'm reboot signal i'm allowed to man woolly's hate cosmos i am allowed are you wearing a piece of reboot thing on you right now i'm not okay well because usually you are that's an all day so i'm in my funeral attire um so this this fucking thing dumb bullshit where he's got to make logos of us but like the logos of us are just logos of other properties what do you want us to do like i i'm just trapped on a shirt maybe if we were idiots then used other

things as our brand you know i know but it's not even brand it's like i always had that anyway you always wore that anyway and it just became a thing it's just a funny story you know but um i got lucky i just got fire and a fist that's that's public domain you know it's a fucking anyway whatever like you're fighting game victory icon is just a pun punisher skulls like but that's the punisher that's not shut up i like him though whatever this fucker just comes on mic and is talking about how uh the the new series is gonna be more like the first and second seasons where things are a bit more lighthearted and fun that's unlike the third and fourth seasons which got a bit darker which were known as the fan favorites now here's the

way i don't because does he why does he say that yes what now that's where it gets confusing that's why i can't like deal because it's like why would you say the fan favorites like you're you're admitting that you're aware that you're sacrificing quality for for appeal he knows he said it we're moving on i can't that's fine i can't digital foundry does resolution even matter yes and you should know that because that's your that's your job yeah isn't that the point of the website yes okay just check it all right i read the article it's a bunch of horse shit it's like well if we stop focusing on resolution then we can focus more on anti aliasing and per pixel shading and blah blah yeah but you're in a fucking console generation in which the only difference

between the two consoles resolution that's like that's like the storm front website going i don't know everyone's all right i guess that's fine that's all what i subscribe to you for say what is you say subscribe to storm front no i said races recently backed down and what hey man we're an all-inclusive group you guys we're not about that stuff right it's like but to be fair racism matter to be fair that weren't they were founded on not racism no what that's not where i'm going what to be fair to digital foundry oh we may have gone slightly extreme in our comparison here i don't people that resolution that higher we may we may have gone like this is a dumb thing and i just i think everyone especially richard led better who wrote the article deserved to be mocked because

it's like yeah do your job but i think jumping immediately to clan comparison i this might be slightly too far just change this video card up to the back of your truck oh my god oh geez ah that's us gigs in it then it told us it was justified the whole time can't let this console marry that one god who's gonna even get that line that series someone plague oh yeah fuck play right that motherfucker is such a he's such a busy little little baby you know what he does why he sends me these cat vines and like we get him he sent me one at 438 in the morning well you weren't doing anything i had gone to bed i was now you're watching i was totally no no no no yes it was like a couple days ago and i just sent him this polite message like hey play you like

can you not send me these at like 4 30 in the morning like i've actually gone to bed and the ping woke me up no reply and then a couple areas he's sleeping a couple a couple days later uh at 9 38 p.m he sends me one and before i could even respond he's like oh i'm sorry did i wake you your majesty oh god i love i want i want to see plague like setting an alarm to wake himself up in the middle of the night yeah to send the picture back then he goes back to sleep that's on like a time that auto sends that reminds me i have a similar thing we're on skype i have zone on there oh god zone it says hey matt i thought you might appreciate this but i have some original animation cells from the hurricanes i thought you might like them because you're the only person that's ever

reference the hurricane i went thanks dude but i think i'm good i don't really like the show that much now if you got some street sharks take it off yeah oh god the best part you should get in the monster hunter there's a street shark in monster i bet they're fucking eggs it looks guys it looks exactly like a street shark it's horrible the best part about not having internet is that plague can't get to okay i can't find you can't get you dude i've been talking to him we got that ps4 and like his fucking travails with htmi getting that shit online i i just realized that he's going to hear this and stack up the messages for me yeah for when i come back dudes telling me like dude i i got it i set up like how is it it took me four hours to download the firmware update like oh my god

i forget i forgot about the the garbage fucking whatever it's not tennessee is yeah it's it's uh kentucky kentucky yeah the garbage american internet that he has and it's like oh my god the ps4 is the most online console like ironically the expo very ironically yeah okay here's a scenario woolly took uh that busted harlotte pipe and never changed me and woolly goes hey maybe i can fix this hard drive for you and he tries to see how to open up and it's has difficult casing so you look up a video how to open up a seagate whatever yeah and you're looking through a couple of videos and i go you'll be hilarious if you came across a really like really funny uh channel where people show you how to's but they're they're stupid and they're for comedic effect like it's like hey everyone

how to fix this and then the next scene everything's on fire or whatever imagine you stumble on plague should do that like whenever plague gets a new piece of like console technology he should record the whole thing all four hours just put it up there that would have been a million subs like the plague ps4 unboxing plinket style yeah with like farm animals in the middle of the barn like opening it up you wouldn't even have to set that up they're already there you don't want to get meta you he should record himself trying to upload those dark souls play through that and upload those yeah because like i'll be talking to him and it'll be like great it just fucking failed here we go again it's like i can't just believe yet get up with the camera walk downstairs go find the donkey

running in the tread circle okay like spank it a few times make the internet go donkey plague will answer this later but unless he's answered like either to you guys now but plague just make him 30 minutes and just upload them that way why they gotta be an hour and 45 minutes i watch him i think he's to talk about man he's got stuff you can cut those things up i can't watch it it's pointless for me because he wants to because he wants to that's the reason because i might because his fucking method is he sits there and he hikes himself the fuck up yeah and then starts like four times in a row until he gets the good one and then he gets the good one and he goes until it's good and then he's like i'm done and then he that's the that's all professionals do it kids

yeah not like us it's all hyped up yeah god we don't get any second tries we're just no what you get is what well someone in the chat yesterday when i was we were explaining the mentality that but we're talking about like the dead mentality recording yeah it looked like he's like the guy was like um for example in they drink in the 99 dragons you guys ran out of material eight minutes in but then just kept recording for an hour there's see there's a wall and you have to break through that yeah it's like in run fat boy run yeah you gotta break through the fear barrier then you can get to some gold you can break through there's something that like max said and i would like it's to send this answer out to max is like apparently you guys do ps1 rpg's how the fuck do

at gmail.com Matt pat this came in from katie uh it was in time for valentine's i saw that i saw the ages ago it's super good i'd save you before actually any day girl the only cool thing she does is say leon and that's it yeah good job katie yo i have a leon piece of trivia to fucking add to this world so after after uh last night's stream uh like i saw matt talking to the hot pepper gaming people on twitter and it's like oh i'll check out their video and just check out hey here's leon's voice actor from the recent games eating a boot gelokia yeah yeah and he's fine he's completely fine some people have cast on his thumb that dude's a beast spices are tasty man no dude he just he and he's like i've never had to have an arrow or anything i eat the jalapeno and he eats things

like yeah that's pretty bad and just like the longest review they've ever had and then the voice actor should give an awkward poorly animated thumbs up to the camera that's right so good job leon you're cool um okay we're gonna take one from gill gill asks hey what's up scrub lords i wanted to know if you guys think that a rapper or another performer that uses a stage name if you discover that their name is actually super fucking super fucking dirty or uncool does it take away from their cool fact no it's the best always it always takes away so i'm just gonna i don't care about the question so much as what's the best examples i can think of i know i think kurtis jackson's a fucking lame

ass name no kurtis jackson's super black super cool that's the blackest name ever all right no no i'm not saying i'm not saying it's not cool because it's black i'm saying the word the name kurtis is lame no it's not nine you a guy named kurtis and he was looser no this is like a good fucking name if it was kurtis fisher you might have a point but kurt jackson helps jackson's cool no but it helps elevate kurtis so it sounds fun you know what i think the my friend not my friend kurti was supposed to be my friend but it's this big bag in high school that i knew just kurtis he was a stupid idiot you want to be like i'm talking uh uh jump on the veck for fucking triple h no that's great you shut up you have some pride where you live my friend here you stupid idiot jump on the

veck is an awesome name it's the word super good and um um um uh snoop dog calvin bro calvin well that's cool cal i think no calvin no no that his name is fun i think i think there's like a naming cultural thing happening here exhibit exhibit is alvin nathaniel jaunier shut up and that's like exhibit more like pimp my ride was a fucking lie dude we forgot to talk about that all right all right did you see that shit that was gonna be able to we forgot to add that to the dark here so pimp my ride turns out fuck this yeah fuck this earth well then we need the quotes yeah he's actually that shit was hilarious though oh my god uh another really bad one was i remember i read it on the internet right before he went to like a uh a softball game

ahead of the wwe event that was going on like years and years ago during the attitude error and it was the cscf 12 hot dogs versus the wwe superstars and bad ass billy gun steps up and it hey kip sop kip sop kip sop and your name is specifically got bad ass in it you are not bad ass sir oh god that's a bad one man kip sop and then sometimes it doesn't even also shot michael's michael hickin bottom that's bad that's pretty bad this this feels like it's building up to benedict cumber whatever's right benadryl benadryl cumber pack if lean was here he'd not run these out of the fucking park with that very shit but the but the real problem is just it's like if you have that name you can hide it but if you have an old high school photo like little

john yeah have you seen little john's high school he's a f***ing great he's a snail it's great it's like a friend of ours uh okay so uh pimp my ride former contestants reveal that exhibits custom cars were just fake or didn't work many of the flashy upgrades installed by west coast customs and exhibits crew made the car worse or were simply taken out after they were filmed on camera in some cases they created storylines to emphasize the characters the character was or whatever the contestant was and the the reactions they gave on camera were all faked and forced the worst in one case the dude's car two weeks after the show just lit up and f***ing burned to the to the crown 420 um this is the worst this is the worst why does this bother me so much i don't know it bothers me

like i i literally feel like i was lied to was pimp my ride like some cultural touchstone that we all just try to ignore i know i'm fat but they went the extra mile to make me look extra fat by telling the world that i kept candy all over my seat and floor just in case i got hungry that's like the fake nabisco account and then they put a cotton candy machine in my trunk wait what happened with the car i sat there and watched them dump two bags of generic candy out in my car i didn't have i didn't want to have candy all over my car it was completely fabricated for the story now this is something about how like the the f***ing cotton candy machine shot cotton candy all over the place yeah yeah yeah it's it's it's i can't find it oh this is a really big article

it's the worst yeah well this is a copy from like another series this is the original it's the f***ing best man there's it's like yeah you were lied to a part of your childhood even though it wasn't your childhood like because you assume you assume you look at the car you just go oh that's a really awesome car i never once thought of the aftermath like i never did they even i did they even have those little bits where they show the person driving the car and they might be like a weekly the camera cuts then they chase after them and pull parts off like here i always wondered because i don't know anything about cars so maybe this is like that i'd always look at it it's like we put all this shit we put the the cotton candy machine we put the video games like is there room

in the car's guts to physically fit all the guys that make cars must know and the answer is no they don't no this is a bummer i don't know but i yeah i feel really shitty about it i'm like this is innocence lost because i've watched a million episodes because usually when you go over to relatives or whatever it's always on like during christmas and other like things it was always on on the tv and i was just forced to watch like if you if you come to me and tell me fucking pond stars is faked i'll believe you because it's clearly fucking fake yeah so that's fine right and you want to come and tell me the bear grills is faked which it is like fine but what that but but there was something about like the joyous enthusiasm yeah what's that fucking weird one where they always go find some

black family to give them a house oh that's a go show what you know there's no extreme extreme house makeover yeah yeah it's always the most people with the stories they go find the black family and they give them the house and then they go all right now guys do the do the overreaction for the camera and dance and fucking do a jive and chicken jive what about that show those houses are probably super legit because they don't make a bunch of dumb i know i know cotton candy in your toilet i just don't appreciate the showcasing no it's a nice it's of course it's an amazing gesture but it's like finding out that that those houses they just take them away and then hand put them on the market those are all actors yeah you know like well not the people about the family well everyone else

but the family the family's real and then they get evicted after the cameras turn off and afford this house housing market oh god what a fucking story hey and you gotta imagine that the guy who went undercover to find out all this shit was just like like having the time of his life this information i'm gonna bust this shit wide okay yeah he was sitting on two good ones he's like no there's more Pulitzer here i come scandal of our generation all right we got coming one coming from uh Ellis york um or or Mao guy i i can't i'm not sure this or this Ellis york or Mao guy Mao guy anyway um mao e he asks something that a bunch of people actually were commenting on in the biofreaks video huh is how did we manage to piss someone off and what happened why did someone yell

turn that shit down at the end of the video now this is a weird one because i went back and i listened to it and in fact you can hear someone say turn that shit down before the video ends abruptly but i had uh that was the game no one was here is it correct me no no it wasn't i'm getting shit for that are you yes oh no yes it was not me i'm yelling now though yeah your voice is totally different no everybody thinks it's me i'm a fucking bitch that was that was a crime tita crime tita did not do that that's hilarious yeah because because that's the auntie such a fucking i don't know i don't much appreciate people even assuming that's what it is that's hilarious but no guys near that was the game itself thank you there was a correct something in the credits music

there is a thing i think it's a sample of like it's supposed to be like a parent there's like to the kids there's something about listening to a podcast or a show or whatever and like because your brain internalizes like this negative space where this is actually taking place and then the reality one that went away off mic voice booms in you're like wait they're in a real location so i love that shit we use that fight in fighter pedia all the time yeah like let's do this line okay walk way over there yeah oh man dude it was it was the game and like seriously all of our girlfriends are like super like they are supportive of our stuff and no none of them would ever fucking do that so they would tell us to turn it up or we would like to stop now because it's not

it's not lore it's like stop doing your job guys what no man that's not true stop it um no we should stop our jobs though let's all just become monks yeah do i learn sick ass krillin moves when i do that depends what yeah place you join up if i can do a fucking destructive disc i'm down the destructive disc is so overpowered it's the best like it's like it's stayed overpowered like the whole series but it's not but when you think about it the reasons why it's like it's because it's it's what it is yeah it's just they they set a rule on it and that rule keeps that thing legit forever it doesn't matter how weak of a fireball it is it's a cutter it just cuts it's because it wants to cut it slices what's it gonna cut everything oh yeah then you have that fucking

movie where krillin's got hair and he's fighting broly and you're like get the fuck out of here what is your uh yeah and you also know what your did i ask you what that's what your favorite accessory for a console is no and because i feel like we had a similar thing i it was yeah what's your favorite peripheral i think we did a while ago yeah i don't know yeah no i got i got sorry this is pretty much the same question the the the hole at the back of the ps2 where the network adapter would go that you can hide your weed in yeah that one that the n64 ram expansion slot that you could hide your weed that that was like that's what i'm getting at like every single time i'd see a topic on game facts on 11 years old what do you guys do with this slot i hide my weed in it i hide

my weed in it i hide my weed in it also funny me too my mom would never think to find my weed in my ps2 never look i like that ps2 network adapter things gonna hook in that one show wants to know do you guys have any hobbies no like in terms of hobbies like like collecting stamps no i don't think i don't know i double down on like non-game relating on non-game related hobbies i double down on the one hobby to get good at it bird watching and i'm not even that good at it uh arcade stick mechanics inside now that's that's that's still video games fucking and you haven't done that in a while yeah and i exactly i haven't played drums in a while i haven't fucking done any of that learn like that stuff in a while like i don't know these days no not really i think liam

probably builds robots yeah probably in spare time yeah to watch tv on occasion um okay so like the whole where do we are like i want to get into blank how do i start thing i've stopped taking those questions it's too broad but i'm gonna take one final one you liar listen to this i want to get into the final fantasy series where should i start don't oh man it's a shame that liam just dropped off the earth for this one because i'm just like the answer is there's nothing else yeah in that question that's it it's seven you start with seven and there and for everything else just start at the beginning guys you know that's it i want the only reason why that this changes to seven is because seven is arguably the beginning like there's a couple of tumblr like

questions or i was like i want to get into jojo where do i start just click play just to go to crunchy roll click go to episode one i want to get into epa where do i click play oh i want to play metal gear just start at the first like just alternatively start six and then end with it you finishing that sure sure that's another okay but i just for final fantasy i'll give you the breakdown one is in english and it's really old but it's pretty good two and three are in various weird states but they're not that great four is pretty good but very basic five is amazing six is amazing seven's amazing eight's a piece of shit with the best card game ever nine's pretty great ten's pretty good eleven's an mmo twelve is good but unfinished third you've heard you know

i can name on one hand the amount of things that exist where you should start not at the beginning yeah that's tough one rare final fantasy two star wars yeah end of list well no you should start stars in the beginning the beginning beginning from air date yes chronologically also if anyone's ever confused by anything that we ever say in terms of starting in the beginning it's always in term of air date or release not in terms of chronology that's that's a trap if you want to get into anything just like that ultra despair girls thing or whatever that leah was talking about with the the dangenro is a perfect example that's the 1.5 game but it spoils the entirety of two if you play it in between because it's like a side story that assumes you know the

events of two because two came out before this game chronology it's a air date air date always air date air date and uh just very good we got one from super boom who says uh to the wu tang zai batsu the missa the pizza the ghost face woolly and old dirty liam that's pretty good i was showing through youtube and happened to come across a rap artist named chaos hailing from the t dot i found a music enduring uh bought all his albums and was happy with the results i was wondering if you have any canadian artist suggestions well sir maestro fresh west i'm really really happy with this because one chaos is my favorite rapper oh so you found it and it's and it just so it's cool because it turns out that we know we like one of our friends is his cousin and we randomly just

found this out after the fact type of thing but yeah you found the one chaos is a great recommendation i'd also say check out uh kobayashi they're a montreal band and they're super awesome cardinal fischal cardinal fischal yeah the rascals uh snow what snow uh the whole northern touch the first the first couple of swollen members albums not here's all the love for great big c they're not rappers no the great fool dad yeah fuck it i don't listen to music i don't know i don't know if i get so just sit there i'm sitting there's you're trying to be or trying to be involved man well your answer was embarrassing it was that's that was the point just say justin beeper okay yeah believe it i think that's about all of it believe it is just asking for a narrow to photoshop isn't

it classified is a dude from the fucking uh god the maritime to think okay white dude and he was he was with maestro fresh west and carnell fischal is there such a thing as a new fee rapper as a national new fee new fee rapper probably because new fiddling language is kind of like rap and for a taste of what cardinal fischal is all about go get the the fucking mixtape kill blood clot bill and you write that i love it i love it so much all right all right fuck that we're done okay what uh what we got coming up uh well uh as pat and uh well i guess lee i'm just kind of like let the cat out of the bag a bit uh today we are starting our resident evil revelations to co-op play through revelations actually we need to go back and correct that no fuck you because

it gets fucking it's the wrong title it'll get lost when i spent so much time misspelling the title again guys guys i appreciate the effort guys the joke is here's how you do it and not fuck up the search you make the title of the videos correct but you make the picture in the video wrong yeah but no but the it's too late now picture in the videos baked in and plus it was the logo of the game fine fine i'll change it i'll change it but let everybody know that i spent the time to intentionally misspell the word revelations every single time in all of the descriptions and titles of these videos descriptions fine yeah same but it's just the title is that people actually want to search for it it might make it a little just bake it in bake it in that's fine

i'll fucking fix it we got we got mystery boxes coming uh yeah probably at least one week another bonafone this week the return anything i don't know this is the second episode no but i know but i mean like it has returned it has returned uh there's something else i think no this is starting uh mad world continuing yeah that that uh and i was telling some people on uh on something awful everyone's like oh man this is kind of this is like you guys don't know how to play this game at all i was like well yeah well yeah welcome to the channel it's been like five years but once we start the second thing and go woolly finds weapon combos i never saw and it gets it gets the best weapon combo in the game is tired and like nine no it like a launcher with daggers and does air

combos with it i even knows in the game okay it was fucking sick uh yeah i think that's about it as far as the watch goes uh what am i watching what's coming out this week uh fucking nothing right like i i bought uh the two days ago Kirby uh the rainbow curse so i'm gonna try to get some a lazy day i want to play that i want to hear like the Kirby versus the order discussion it's a it's an overall better game of course it looks better yeah we'll pop some more time into under night um that that fucking game is so good and of course since i'm like i think it's because i'm because i'm playing in the like with the anime crew and stuff like that we're playing under night i'm playing the anime crew right we're playing i'm hanging with the anime crew so like

i'm getting into some of the other stuff i love that concept and i never want to meet anyone in it because i want my concept yeah yeah yeah so i'm playing you know the anime games crew that is you know mind you know and uh so beyond those games i'm starting to get into other like some of the random shit they do to kill time so one we popped in windjammers breakers revenge and fucking fighters history and we're just doing that for a while and now apparently a thing is uh mahjong so i'm learning how to play mahjong now you know fucking 85 year old chinese grandmother apparently the mind games are really fun when you get into it okay but um i'm gonna see but like it i'm just recognizing the tiles and shit or just i'm like what the fuck's going on yeah i'm gonna try and

figure it out you guys uh i'm gonna try and beat balder's gate and its expansion by march 26 which means i have another like 60 hours to i don't know this game i don't know how long this game's supposed to be i'm using speed boots to make myself go faster and how long to beat says it's like 80 hours but i've already spent 60 and i'm nowhere near the end of the game you with the speed boots i don't know i don't know how long the expansion is i gotta beat it before eternity comes out that's why you gotta it's like direct sequel yeah and i'll just say that uh we got a two-part week coming and it's not week of woolly so stop it but it should be that's not until you do it woolly but we go well i don't have control over that unfortunately uh we'll just get the list

and then fucking do it without you that would be pretty good you just say well good design like you thought the dialogue and murdered soul suspects was damning oh man you didn't even touch that not really so you know gentlemen i guess we truly are the bio freaks we truly are the bio fuck i thought i knew the freaks word but i lost it they couldn't even figure it out they figured flying robotic enhanced armored killing synthosoids armored killing synthoids yeah that's it yeah that's it pour one out for mutilator no we're pouring out for max yeah that fucking shit where he goes into the water and the whole world above the water just disappears that's the worst it's like hey max try first person mode no i kept trying to trick him into doing that because we make the game

wait no he didn't go no he's going to why would i try first person mode what would that accomplish well they don't i kept masking it like it was yeah yeah the idea the idea is that like he'd get into the first person mode but like somehow not be able to get back out it's a different button prompt to get out it would have been tough oh god it would have sabotaged the entire night it would have been like he dies it's you go back to character select and it's still in first person he can't escape it might it might have helped the final battle though who knows maybe we're sorry max yeah these are all good sports say hi to azo for us so

you you
