Starting point is 00:00:00 Live from Montreal, the best camera! You got the Chewy and Fuckface show! Chewy and Fuckface! Episode 100! Yay! Everything is awesome, it's great, it's great! Hey, we're back with the... Hey, shut the fuck up!
Starting point is 00:00:22 We're back with our, uh, longtime guest friend of the show, Shikig... Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. It's Liam! How the fuck off, Chewy? Happy birthday! Happy birthday, Liam! How old are you? I'm 23 all year long, oh my god.
Starting point is 00:00:40 What the fuck are we doing with our lives? How old are you, Liam? 23. Really? Your reflexes are still sharp, Liam. No, I'm losing them. They're sharp like a fucking buzzer? Yeah! Good job, Liam.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Hold on, hold on, hold on, we gotta bring it down a bit. Chewy, you gotta bring it down a bit. We gotta get a little bit serious. Who do we have over here? It's the shit king, ladies and gentlemen! The shit king has cleared to have you back. He's so homie! How was it at the shit home?
Starting point is 00:01:20 Oh, we had a lot of Halloween in the shit home today. We had some great guests over at the shit home today. Really? Yeah! Wow, this is a mess! Where are the guests? Other members of the shit royal family. No, no, we had some outside neighbors coming into the shit kingdom. There's a cow apparently!
Starting point is 00:01:43 Oh, there's a horse over there too! You have a pan of sound effect, Chewy? Yeah, though there's crickets apparently. Oh, fuck it. Okay, listen up! This is serious business! We need to get down to some serious business, you guys. Okay, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:02:01 Before we get too excited, everybody needs to know we've got a special announcement to make. Special announcement! Hallelujah! Yes, yes, yes! Thank God it's on! It's Friday! Is it?
Starting point is 00:02:17 It's not Friday. I thought my calendar was mixed up there. But to all you loyal Chewy and fuck-facers, it's Friday every day! Should we be Chewy and the face fuckers? No, it's the fuck-facers. The fuck-facers. Shit King, we've been on a hundred of these episodes
Starting point is 00:02:37 and you don't remember the fuck-facers? It feels like it's been forever. It does feel like it's been forever, shit King. Oh, jeez. What's going on here? Chewy, I don't think you can use that sound effect. I can't believe we lack a farting sound effect. That's close enough.
Starting point is 00:02:57 That's close enough. That's why they call you shit King. I guess so. Hey, Liam. I don't know, did you? What would you say? You do here. Because I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:15 You need to get off that fucking soundboard right now. You can kill him. You won't take his soundboard away. Now you can. Liam, I've got a question to ask you. I'm going to need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow. Is that possibility? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:33 We were just kind of already spoke about this. I'm also going to need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday. Yeah. We've got to record those things, man. We've got to record those things, man. It's fine. All right, yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Did you get it? Did you get it? Is it funny yet? I don't know if you give it a little bit. Chewy is the premier shock jock podcaster of the era. You seem to have taken a bizarre somber tone for our goofy, rippurorously hilarious podcast extravaganza 100 episode book.
Starting point is 00:04:13 We're still waking up. It's nice and early and everyone needs to... No, Mike is listening to this four hours from now. Yeah, yeah. Mike is listening. He's eating his delicious cornflake. We've got to give Mike some applause. Some big ups.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Mike Zero Dude, he came out this weekend down to the Montreal Comic Con. Oh, he went? Yes, because I had a moment with him talking and I was like, it's like, are you gone? That was the whole conversation. Then he met up with us
Starting point is 00:04:45 and we partook in his mysterious homemade ice cream. Did he give you that fucking durian shit? He gave me durian ice cream. He gave me... I have to eat some of that cornflakes ice cream, which was really good. No, no, I was super apprehensive.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I'm like, what is this concoction that man was not meant to know? You're going to eat the durian ice cream, and the problem with the cornflake one is going to freak out. No, no, the initial idea is that we had the cornflake ice cream and it was delicious.
Starting point is 00:05:17 The durian still tasted like durians, which means awful. I didn't even try it. You got the durian-shaped bullet. It got weird though when he shouted, the day is mine. I didn't know why you did that. It's weird because he's got French feet
Starting point is 00:05:33 and he's accent. You'll eat the fucking second hottest pepper in the world. You'll eat cake that's 100 days old. You won't fucking eat a good friend of yours ice cream gift.
Starting point is 00:05:49 But he's right to do it. I hate durians. You are literally looking a gift horse in the mouth. I didn't try it yet. Maybe I should try it. Don't talk to me. I'm on my popcorn break. I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:06:05 I don't even know what to fuck with. I remember playing suit martin's sunshine. It said, pick up a durian. And I said, fuck you. I don't know what that is. I don't know what it looks like. It smells like shit. You can't believe people decide to eat either way though.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Either way, the other flavors so far have been fine. Strawberry was great too. Strawberry ice cream is probably pretty good. I know it's shocking to some listeners out there. It was pretty solid. But it is actually a special episode.
Starting point is 00:06:37 It is our 100th episode. It's Jingle Bells. Best one Santa's 100 years old every year confirmed. We survived 100 episodes in a final episode of the Surveillance Cats.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Out with a whisper. Now that we have succeeded in our goal we can now ritually kill ourselves into the spaceship. That was the contract that everyone signs for our podcast. Once you're 100, you're out the door. Those podcasts
Starting point is 00:07:09 with hundreds of episodes those are robots. We're old and obsolete. You're fucking 23 you bitch. Very nice. The podcast. The podcast is old. There's a lot of people that were hoping that we'd have
Starting point is 00:07:25 a super crazy guest line. It's there's some cool stuff planned. I don't remember the use of it. But some people seem to want the entire Seattle Mariners team. They want a nice
Starting point is 00:07:41 round table podcast. Who came Griffey up in here? I don't remember who it was that wrote this post. But it was somebody on our Reddit that had what do you think they're going to do for episode 100 that had the suggestion of what if
Starting point is 00:07:57 the entire episode was a chewy and fuck base. At which point I go to Lisa's just get a soundboard, just get a fucking soundboard. That shit's the best. So where the fuck that was? It's your fault. It's all very nice. It's also a very common thing because
Starting point is 00:08:13 I didn't see that post. But I just want to talk to one of you and just said we should just probably be like I just came to it naturally. We should probably become a chewy and fuck base. We should just record a legit intro for the chewy and fuck face show. Like you would hear at the beginning of that
Starting point is 00:08:29 power hour on the radio. Yeah, that's too much work. If there's one thing about this podcast is that sometimes if it's too much work it doesn't happen. But Liam, you look like you're taking damage. A little bit. It's fucking hot. This is the first day of summer
Starting point is 00:08:45 in Montreal. It's the first day that I walked outside and I felt the air. I need some type of suit to help me deal with this. We almost narrowly missed having a guest because Cranky Construct was up in town for the last couple of days.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Up in town. But he left as of early this morning. Up in shit keep. Yeah. I'll start off to say I, Cranky Construct and him and I were talking for a bit and I said you should come for the Montreal Comic Con.
Starting point is 00:09:17 You might come down and see some fun things or whatever. You can stay with me if you like and he took me up on the offer and we picked him up and we did some things. He came over and... It sounds really suspicious. It's not actually because I kind of said
Starting point is 00:09:33 hey would you want to do some videos with this as well. Now it's less suspicious. We have to pull that soundboard out of the way. No, I don't know. I disagree. There's the thing that's genius about this soundboard. Wooly was lazy to not get a real soundboard.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Instead, using the PC that we are recording this podcast on he has the goddamn soundboard up like connected via whatever. So you can't fuck with this soundboard. Did he even hit record? Yeah. We're going.
Starting point is 00:10:05 This podcast can now not be undone. Yeah. We have put too much effort into it. It's the best. But yeah, Cranky showed him around town you know. Hey, Poutine Fest was also this weekend. Yeah, everything was this weekend.
Starting point is 00:10:21 If you want to taste the Montreal come eat these cheese curds and gravy and fries and Poutine Fest was insane. It was just masses and masses of people could bear. It was so great that we got out of that
Starting point is 00:10:37 overstuffed conference hall that the Comic Con was in and go likewise. And a place that was even busier and about an hour wait to get Poutine in some kiosks. But it was worth it. Tourist town is how it is.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Missism and Mussels took him and some other friends and they went to regular Poutine. You all flight? You can't go anywhere with the multiple flavors before you know Poutine. Not from goddamn anywhere but Cadet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:09 I remember Wally mentioning last year Poutine and I was like, I need to fucking try this. So I found the one kiosk at General Tau Poutine which just basically replaces the gravy with a General Tau sauce and just tongue to General Tau. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Really, really liked it. We did that. I brought him around the Montreal Comic Con which is even bigger than last year like an expanded one. Montreal San Diego Comic Con. This is basically our San Diego Comic Con. The York San Diego Comic Con.
Starting point is 00:11:41 I heard that the actual Comic Con is pretty flustered about the Montreal usage of the name and it's going to be pursuing legal... Are you for real? Aren't they affiliated those two? I heard the San Diego one was going to be pursuing legal shit.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Comic convention, really? Well Comic Con is their name. It's been their name and it's... Liam, are you still in the pond beef? Just saying, I heard it. It's like Pac's Montreal. Yeah, that's a little bit. It's actually a Roman convention.
Starting point is 00:12:13 We enjoyed it quite a bit. Lots of stuff. Cranky got himself a really cool art book of art of a game that he wasn't familiar with but people were throwing him this art and he trapped down the art book so he enjoyed getting that. Well you guys, I walked in there
Starting point is 00:12:29 and you just pointed at the eyes of Bayonetta II. The Bayonetta II art book was just sitting there. And I saw, I gathered up some links and a couple of papercliffs and paid for that. Somehow. We went to the Final Fantasy concert which is called
Starting point is 00:12:45 The New World which is very interesting because it's an intimate 14 piece orchestra and it was like, we're going to play some of the lesser known things, we're going to play the theme of the Red Wings, we're going to play some town themes and I'm just sitting there I'm with him, I'm with a dork friend and we just
Starting point is 00:13:01 and I just go, come on back to Xenokin! Back to Xenokin! They had a piano on the stage? They had a piano on the stage because they know that they have to do it and then they go, we're going to play some music now from Final Fantasy Xenokin Hey one wing danger!
Starting point is 00:13:17 So they start playing back to Xenokin and they're playing a beautiful rendition of it I of course start cracking up because I think of the porn box during it. That episode of Pedia man. I start having a good laugh
Starting point is 00:13:33 and they play one track from 13 and they go, okay who is a fan of Final Fantasy 13? And there's a long pause and then like five hands go up! Billy, stand up! Is this the battle music?
Starting point is 00:13:49 The best track. No it wasn't the battle music. There's some good tracks. There are some good ones. It was a really interesting like kind of theater experience because they're like, this is kind of chamber music.
Starting point is 00:14:05 You can hear every individual instrument and all that. So we noticed that we haven't played music from a certain game and everyone starts getting riled up and they're like, so I'm really excited for the remake of Final Fantasy 7 the composer says and I've worked with
Starting point is 00:14:21 Uematsu and lots of stuff and he and I put together this concert. So we're going to play for you of course and it's essentially the crowd just goes nuts and they go, but we want to have some crowd interactions so you guys are going to sing with us.
Starting point is 00:14:37 And you want to do, when I point to you da da da! You want to say, you know what you want to say so we do that and as it gets to the part I don't know why, but I started getting really psyched up and we all started shouting stuff and Cranky almost fell out of his chair
Starting point is 00:14:53 because he's like, I didn't know you were going to scream and I was like, oh no, I was really into it. Did the crowd start harmonizing as well? No, just a separate thing, it's a little kind of difficult to try to get one in harmony, but it was really fun. Oh yeah, it's all a lot.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Yeah, it was about an hour long and it cost almost nothing. If you had a Comic-Con ticket it cost you like... It was held in the convention, right? Yeah, it was just awkward to. I went around looking for a games room, found a tabletop room and Nash was being run all weekend.
Starting point is 00:15:25 I don't know where though. I'm at Steve Bloom who of course we've talked about at least once in every LP ever. Because he's in all of them. And I asked him to do a very specific thing on camera for something, you know, a project later on.
Starting point is 00:15:41 But this is one of those times where I just don't know exactly why but I just stumbled and buried... Hey Mr. Bloom, so... Willie would have loved to have watched me do this.
Starting point is 00:15:57 The cringe power. Is this because like you spent so many like thousands of words disparaging his placement in games? Not disparaging it, but always making note of it. And he goes, so I'm a big fan, I got... I play games
Starting point is 00:16:13 and he goes, hi, hi. Oh my god, this is how I... This is how we act when someone's asking doesn't know how to... And it reminds me it's like just all you have to do is be courteous. And he was super, super nice. And said, yeah, no, I'll say that on camera, no problem.
Starting point is 00:16:29 And I go, okay, alright, I got my... I got my mic. Oh, I haven't put it in my camera. Oh! And I got him to say it on camera. I'm sorry, I'm being a little aloof about it. But he was super, super nice. And Cranky was watching me from
Starting point is 00:16:45 before he goes, man, that was embarrassing. I'm sorry. Oh, the lens cap is a little... It was a little much. And really, really quick, they kind of wrap everything up. I did an adult thing, which is after I had fun at Comic-Con, buying lots of crap, I went to a baby shower.
Starting point is 00:17:01 It's the most adult thing you could ever do. Even if you're not the one that's having a baby. I went to a baby shower. And they go, alright, we have lots of fun activities and almost none of them are fun. Except for the one which is like we have blank onesies for the baby, draw whatever. We have a picture on Twitter
Starting point is 00:17:17 of a Punisher Skull with a pink bow on the front. And what I think is a very accurate drawing of Godzilla. And lots of people seem to enjoy it. And everyone's going, oh, Matt, oh! Your audience is someone that will not have object permanence. They'll like it just fine.
Starting point is 00:17:33 A baby won't even know that, you know. Babies are dumb as shit. Babies are pretty dumb. So that was pretty fun. And kind of finally, me and Cranky have like what I think is now a grudge in Tetris Attack. Where we played about two hours last night
Starting point is 00:17:49 and straight down the middle, four games for him, four games for me, matches that would go into four minutes. This is eternity in Tetris Attack time. And my eyes started hurting because it wasn't blinking. And no, I literally, when you hear
Starting point is 00:18:05 the sounds of build up when someone's putting trash on your screen. There's times where you dread it. And then there's times where I feel like if you recall the sketch that Will Farrell did where he plays that crazy boss that stabs his own employees to death.
Starting point is 00:18:21 And then Chris Parnell comes around with a trident and a net and goes, oh, I'm coming to kill you, Mr. Tarzare. And he goes, oh, Scott Jorgerson, I love it. I'm going to murder you. I can just see how that goes right in
Starting point is 00:18:37 Anchorman. When you hear the sounds of build up of Cranky putting trash on you, I go, I love it. I can't wait to get this trash from you. And I had a blast playing out with him. I watched a bunch of Steven Universe
Starting point is 00:18:53 and you had your own adventure with Cranky, so I'll push it all over to you now. All right. Well, you know, one thing was a bit of a bummer. It was because of the weekend with MTL Comic-Con and Cranky was in town and stuff and everything. We had time for Splatfest.
Starting point is 00:19:09 He and I missed it. Everyone missed it. It was a bummer, man. Dogs won, though. Dogs won. What is Splatfest exactly? It's just a weekend where you shoot more aggressively. Especially like the
Starting point is 00:19:25 Hubworld changes. It looks cool, like fireworks and stuff. Theme weekend, exactly. There's going to be more. You can choose to fight for dogs or cats. And there's an easier, cheaper re-roll gift or something. Cats don't play like shit because they're too independent.
Starting point is 00:19:41 They don't know how to play as a team. And they do the bare minimum. They let down their team one last time. Oh, we lost? Oh, fuck it. There we go. Just shitting on Zack hard. Zack doesn't give a fuck. He doesn't play video games as much as he used to.
Starting point is 00:19:57 He's getting out of the game. But no, so what happened was at the con I got to meet Jay Lee and I had him sign my Transformers vs J. Joe comic books. Yeah, I finally I fucking went home and brought my comics back.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Oh, you actually went home. I saw him like, oh shit, Jay Lee's here. Went and got my six comics and brought them back. And the really nice guy is cool. His art is so fucking good. And then me myself, Mike Zero Dude
Starting point is 00:20:29 and Cranky came back to my place and we just fucking just binged some anime. So I can actually do Liam's segment a little bit. What did you watch? I watched a lot. What's the length of your binge? You watched a bunch of different things. We sampled a bunch of different things
Starting point is 00:20:45 and then stuck to a couple episodes. What's the length of the binge? That says everything right up front. Is it like 12 hours? No. It's 5 to 11. That's your standard thing. I can give
Starting point is 00:21:01 some of the my slight review on some things. Did you watch anything? I mean, I always watch stuff. I just don't talk about it because people don't like hearing about it. Okay. We're going to take up the mantle. We're going to go over that sentiment.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I said I don't want this. I'll paint the cross around me. So obviously first episode of Dragon Ball Super came out and I couldn't get less of a shit. I'm super happy. Talk to me. I'm going to care when I hear it's good.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Okay. Of course it's good. I drive a tractor. Really? We watched different magic news chagas. I didn't watch them. If you know what it is, it's the beginning of a new arc.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Nothing much to say so far. The intro is a lot of feels for people and I'm like, yeah, that's a Dragon Ball intro. Did you just watch New Stuff that just started? Oh, I haven't. It all started this week. I've been out of town. I watched four or so episodes
Starting point is 00:22:05 of Garo that shows fucking cool. That's not new. But that shows cool. Fun stuff. If you like that shit, jump on board. It's very similar to Caress in the sense that he uses CG
Starting point is 00:22:21 for the main character. It just doesn't look bad. It works. They find a way to make it work. Watch the first episode of Blood Battle Blockade which is the new Yasuo Naito series. Try Gun.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Gun Grave Guy. That seems like introduction of dudes that fight and things and whatnot. Tough guys that punch shit in a city full of weird looking humans and aliens and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:22:53 It can go any direction right now. It could end up being great or it could end up being shit. It's a standard intro. Seems alright, but it's not quite Try Gun or Gun Grave yet. I need a stronger grip than that
Starting point is 00:23:09 so far. He showed me... It wasn't even a full episode, but he showed me the best part of is it okay to pick up girls in the dungeon? Famachi. Dungeon-ni or whatever. It's a fight where
Starting point is 00:23:25 he fights a troll and that things cool. But the rest of that is just dumb, generic, Japanese fantasy shit. It's a fun show, but there's not a lot going on. I can't handle that garbage. I'm not interested at all. Then we watched
Starting point is 00:23:41 Gate. Which is fucking cool. I like the premise of that. That one just started. One episode so far. I think I put it on my list of stuff to watch. So the premise of this show, Gate, is in modern day Japan a portal opens up
Starting point is 00:23:57 and a bunch of orcs and bad guys from an old fantasy RPG kind of thing come riding through and attack the city in dragons and shit. Emergency happens, but it's one Gate. They kill a bunch of people because it's like oh shit, what the fuck's going on.
Starting point is 00:24:15 The Japanese self-defense force gets a grip of the situation and then just murders them with modern day weapons and they stand no chance whatsoever. No chance? Tanks versus cablery. So they kill off the invading force and then the Gate's just there so they're like
Starting point is 00:24:31 well fuck it, we're gonna go find out what's going on in there. And they ride through and they see just random roves of cobalts and shit like that. And it seems like this series is gearing up to just be modern day military just rolling over old fantasy
Starting point is 00:24:47 enemies. You're describing like a mix between like the world of Warcraft and Shin Megami Tensei plots. In a way? But the demons in Shin Megami Tensei can vent for themselves? And in this it's just
Starting point is 00:25:03 it's a complete one-sided fight. What the fuck is the name of that fantasy novel The Darksword Trilogy by fucking Margaret Wies and Tracy Hickman? Oh. Like that shit where it's just straight up future tech versus magic. That shit's great. Oh no, it's terrible.
Starting point is 00:25:19 But I love how one-sided it is so far and I'm like please continue this. They hint at like some kind of you know like there's some magical girls and shit that are eventually gonna show up. Exactly, I'm really hoping it doesn't shit the bed. Because so far I like I asked you what I was gonna get good.
Starting point is 00:25:35 And then I watched Gangsta. I just had time to watch the intro. Dude. Gangsta is the shit. A lot of people have been throwing this at us. This show is the fucking shit. Like in one episode.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Hookline and Sinker. It's just it introduces characters it has a nice like the intro is very stylish in a persona kind of way. The music is very well presented and whatnot. And then the actual events that occur are like not trophy, your characters are
Starting point is 00:26:07 you know they're written well. It's not just fucking animu, animu shit. It looks great. It looks great. But like it's just refreshing. When it's like oh you're doing something new. Good job. I highly highly recommend it.
Starting point is 00:26:23 There's one episode out so far. So you know you're trying to jump on board. Yeah. Before you are you moving off of anime? Yeah. Last time you were watching before we started off. That's on the docket.
Starting point is 00:26:39 That's on the docket? Yeah. That is so good. That's so good. That's on the docket. And comics did you pick up the comics or did you have any time to read anything? Not to read anything. You and I both picked up stand on guard.
Starting point is 00:26:55 We stand on guard. I read that and good start. Is it better than why? No. It's really hard to be why. I know I know. That's why I'm putting that out there. It's really hard to be Saga. But it's a strong start. It's a strong start.
Starting point is 00:27:11 That is the huge mosquito I've ever seen in my life. You want to clap it? No. Go away. You're ruining the hundredth podcast mosquito. It's over there on Woolie's pants. That's fine. This piece of box is getting it.
Starting point is 00:27:27 There you go. We stand on guard. Strong start. How are these two so good? We're doing great. And I'm going to stop playing. I just have to say that I think I'm going to stop playing. I've never seen this type of thing
Starting point is 00:27:43 before. God is so thunder. I got Spider-Gwen number 1. I got the trade paperback of Marvel now. Is Spider-Gwen worthy of platinum wanting to do it again? Spider-Gwen is always fucking cool. There was one guy that had a Spider-Gwen of Woolie that like this weekend
Starting point is 00:27:59 official this thing. Spider-Gwen is the Marvel now version of She-Hulk trade paperback. I got a ton of stuff. I haven't had time to read any. I got The Darkness versus
Starting point is 00:28:15 Witchblade versus Alien versus Predator. Minehunter. Your mind will never be the same. It's shit. It's a bad, bad car. That's good stuff. But your mind was the same. I thought you were about to say something
Starting point is 00:28:31 with Witchblade was good. This is not much that Witchblade is great. What about Witchblade versus Fathom? What about Fathom? We found out this weekend. We found out this weekend. We're going. I've been barely managing to hold on
Starting point is 00:28:47 for most of this conversation. But now you've totally lost me. Okay. What the fuck is that? All you need to know is Wetworks continued. No, I'm good. I think I know now.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I don't want to take too much time. I ended up reading a ton of comics as well. The Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, Miles Morales, intro book. He's getting rolled in. I can see what people are talking about now where it's hard to introduce
Starting point is 00:29:19 Miles Morales in a world without Peter because Peter's important to the way Miles gets into his role. He inspires them. He's basically the Uncle Ben in his story. Over miles,
Starting point is 00:29:35 don't go rustling one day because that's embarrassing. It's so embarrassing. I was super loud. Got a Tank Girl comic. That was crazy. I also got the new
Starting point is 00:29:53 Black Canary number one, which was awesome. And the thing I tried to find all weekend in every single, every single vendor and there was a lot of them at the Montreal Comic-Con. Do you have Gem? No. No one has Gem in all grams. We sold out ages ago.
Starting point is 00:30:09 We don't have any. Stop asking me. And I was like, sorry, I didn't know I already asked you. You fucking Gem fans asking the comic that you like. The only thing other thing we're talking about is Rat Queens. Volume one and two.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Yeah, looks really cool. The Cosplay Friends that I was hanging out with in Toronto, they introduced me to the Rat Queens and it's fucking great. Two volumes of that that I've checked out so far are it's basically a fantasy like D&D campaign
Starting point is 00:30:41 like from the point of view of people that are speaking with modern day vernacular and God, that'd be refreshing. It's funny and a cool adventure and shit. The character designs and the way they
Starting point is 00:30:57 kind of handle things is like yeah, that's original, that's fun. You're having fun with that. Highly recommend it. Check it out. It's probably going to get way more popular in the coming volumes. I saw it at Indigo this weekend and I was kind of intrigued
Starting point is 00:31:13 because I was already buying too many books. That's neat. I didn't play any games because I was pretty but Mike and Cranky had good time so thanks for hanging out. Liam. So this week I lost my week, thank you.
Starting point is 00:31:29 I lost my weekend to my birthday. Once again, time fell victim to my birthday but no, I got to hang out with my family. It was really nice. I just went in the country and did country things with my family, looked at old photos, saw animals, killed animals. Did you go to your old room?
Starting point is 00:31:45 Yeah, of course. Does your mom keep you the exact same? No. Not at all. She has to update the guest room now. Okay. That's what happens. You know what happens? You move out and your parents immediately sell the house
Starting point is 00:32:01 because they can't deal. There's that. That's what happens. Or they turn your room into the guest room or they turn your room into the sex dungeon. There's no need. You got some stuff. Do you mind telling me what some of that stuff you got that you were like, uh, thank you,
Starting point is 00:32:17 or is it stuff that's too big? Just like, yeah, my family once again buying me overly large presents. A crock pot and a bunch of cooking pans that are fucking great. So I'm going to use those a lot. Matt actually bought me a really nice gift but I'm not going to talk. No, I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:32:33 You bought me the really big like churno-alpha 18-inch figure. You can use it as a light source Let's go out. I plan on it. Hey, I got you early. Yeah, exactly. Does it fit? Totally fits. I haven't got one video yet.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Don't talk about what it is. You want to drop it. My last opportunity hasn't happened yet. Ask if it fits. That ass brace. Yeah, it fits right in there. I have bridal. Anyway, I bought
Starting point is 00:33:05 Junji Ito's new book. Oh, god damn it. Fragments of horror. I'm a really big fan of Junji Ito. I like him a lot. This is his first published book in either eight or six years. I can't remember which one it was.
Starting point is 00:33:21 It's a lot weaker than his old stuff. And like he says in the afterward that like when he was doing the drafts for the first one, he was like, this isn't coming together. He said in the afterward, I felt by the end of it that he got back into the room.
Starting point is 00:33:37 I like the book. It's quirky, but it's a bunch of one-shot horror. He's successful and rich and he's not living through the horrors anymore. He is not rich. Really? Really.
Starting point is 00:33:53 You need to be like Kishi Moto to be successful. When I was inspired all the way, I didn't get it when I asked at a bookstore if they had Junji Ito's stuff. But since he hadn't published anything in either six or eight years,
Starting point is 00:34:09 they didn't have anything and the guy didn't know who I was talking about at a fucking manga store. Wow. He is not famous. This path to somewhat mediocrity means that Junji Ito is the perfect person to take over from Yura and finish Berserk.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Yeah, yeah, basically. So I can only recommend it to people who really like Junji Ito's stuff. Would you categorize me as somebody who likes Junji Ito? Do you? You would know. I read Uzumaki and I read
Starting point is 00:34:41 Amigara Falls and I had extreme emotional reactions to those works and I hate them so much because they did exactly what they were supposed to do. That means you're a fan.
Starting point is 00:34:57 You should be more of a stuff though. That's really cool stuff. There's this one that he wrote called Long Dream, right? Let me be a fucking huge coward, please. This one, Long Dream, right? It's a horror manga, of course. The deal is this guy comes into the hospital and he explains to the doctors,
Starting point is 00:35:13 I've been having long dreams and the doctor says, what do you mean? And he's like, they last a fucking long time. The other night I was asleep for 48 hours. We felt like 48 hours. Two days passed in my dream and the next day I was asleep for four days and they passed in my dream.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And so they monitor in the hospital and he just keeps staying asleep for longer and longer periods of time. In reality, he's only asleep for one night. But time starts to speed up. But for him, eventually he starts waking up and he can't deal because he's been married and had children in his dreams
Starting point is 00:35:45 and then it's all gone and he can't tell. And eventually the dream world is taking more time than the real world so it's more real to him. It's an adventure time episode with an ex-man character that has similar issues as well. That's actually similar to a plot point in Virtue's Last Reward
Starting point is 00:36:01 as well, actually. Yeah, it's similar. It came first anyway. How is Liam pitching the scary thing and you're the one that's like, no, I don't want all this. Genji Ito is the only horror thing that I love. Because you get to handle turning the page
Starting point is 00:36:17 at the pace you'd like. No, for some reason it doesn't scare me. It's thrilling and it's like, I don't know if I've read this conversation in front of you but I've had it in front of Matt a bunch of times. It's like, I love horror games because most horror games, back when I played them when I was like 11, they weren't actually that scary.
Starting point is 00:36:33 I like horror themes. I like horror imagery but I don't actually want to be scary. Okay. I find the written word is not as scary as like a visual. Like it just doesn't affect me that way so when I see like an image,
Starting point is 00:36:49 like I read a story that it was like scary stories for kids. It was the actual story was not as scary as about ants, a kid that abuses his ants in his ant farm. There was an image of a bunch of ants crawling into his eyeball. Yeah, there you go.
Starting point is 00:37:05 So fuck this story, the illustration scared the shit out of me though. You should look at Genji Ito's shit because that's the kind of stuff. I haven't seen Matt yet. No, you're right though. The Gashley Crumb Tinnies. Look at all these children and how they died Genji Ito is like Goosebumps Max.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Max. Goosebumps Sky Mission. Yeah, Goosebumps God Arrange. Goosebumps God Arrange. God Arrange is good. That's true. Thank you, there we go. Goosebumps the best.
Starting point is 00:37:37 No, he's still, I love him but yeah, I don't think his new stuff is as good as his old stuff but I still really recommend it if you do like his old stuff. Yeah, exactly. So this week other than my birthday I went through and just finished completely infamous First Light
Starting point is 00:37:53 which is the standalone DLC for Second Son. It's the thing that's not really cool the paper powers. Still pissed. That there's no paper powers. That would have brought me in. What you should be pissed about
Starting point is 00:38:09 is how lame the concrete power is. It's not that too. But after taking a sufficient long break from Second Son which I finished way long time ago 20 years ago I came back to Last Light where it was called and I just had a blast
Starting point is 00:38:25 for the 3 hours that it was. Is it just the same neon powers as Desmond? Fetches is adjusted and she's like way stronger than Desmond. No, not Desmond. Desmond is Desmond. She's way stronger and way more capable than Desmond.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Beating Northman Baker. Yeah. But I had a really fun time. That one's mostly like challenge arenas and stuff so it's fun, arcade-y shit. I really enjoy that. And it played a bunch of J-Stars Victory Versus. So I came from the Japanese version
Starting point is 00:38:57 when that launched and I didn't feel too strongly about the Japanese one. I do prefer it in English for sure just because I can understand it even though the story's kind of schlocky. And I like some of the tweaks that they've made. Like, well you've played it a little bit, right? No? Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:13 So when you knock someone down and they get up they have invincibility frames like well into their attacks. Oh wow. Like really long invincibility frames. It's annoying. You get the hard knock down they have the advantage.
Starting point is 00:39:29 You have to run away. It used to be even worse. Now they've reduced it to like only two seconds when you're standing there. That's how the epic battle works. It's like virtual on almost in like some ways where it's like you're flashing invincible for a while.
Starting point is 00:39:45 The structure is very similar to like the Gundam Versus or virtual on stuff. But it's not as punchy, it's not as quick, it's not as good. Like it's really fun and enjoyable just like fan service stuff and there's a lot of content to go through. But man there's a bunch of tweaks that they could have made
Starting point is 00:40:01 and just made it significantly more fun. So I don't know. I feel like the Rock, Paper, Scissors game isn't there. They pick up and they have the advantage. I mean I bought it, I gotta spend some time. But like one thing I'm curious about is like games like this usually have bullshit for stages.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Just boring alley boring Namek planet boring fucking field. Is it anything interesting? Or the stages have too much bullshit that kills you. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:40:33 DBZ Infinite Arizona No, they're not flat. Like definitely you'll get to towns and stuff. You'll get a Dr. Slump stage with the buildings. You get Namek of course as you expect. You can go in the water and stuff. Vegetable Sky from Toriko has vegetables all over the place. But they're not like
Starting point is 00:40:49 thrilling stages. You know what I mean? They're just there. They're alright. That's how I feel about the whole game. It's just there, it's alright. Which we could tell from the trailer of it more or less. Yeah, no exactly. It's better than the Japanese version for sure with the exception of
Starting point is 00:41:05 no anime songs. Which the Japanese version you could pay extra. I have that. I have it. And I got to this version and I'm like shit, I don't have all the cool songs anymore. So I can't play like Sonochino's Sadame when I go into like
Starting point is 00:41:21 power-up mode and stuff. That's a huge skit. I used to have it set to listen to the stereo every time you power up but I can't do that anymore. It's alright. If you felt bummed that you could never get the Jump DS games for years and years and years
Starting point is 00:41:37 maybe you'll want to play this but it's not a good place to play. At least for the novelty of it. It's enjoyable but not We'll play this game. It sounds like a little grandma. We'll likely see more of this in the future. I'm sure you four guys will be bummed
Starting point is 00:41:53 by the lag because Goku's not one of the I said you four guys. That's all. One, two, three, four of you. One, two, three, four of you. He's not one of the headliners anymore in this one. In this one it's Naruto, Luffy, Guy from Bleach, and Toriko.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Toriko is the guy who's eating food things. I hate that guy. He's super cool. He looks like Goku. He has an orange outfit. No, I don't want to fuck you, Toriko. If you saw the guy you knew totally what the fuck he deserves.
Starting point is 00:42:25 I got a copy of Toriko of Volume 1. I don't know. It's weird though considering of all the times you swap out Goku you do it at the time when Goku's coming back. Now remember, this game came out like a year ago.
Starting point is 00:42:41 That's true. Goku wasn't back yet. You got to unlock all the Joestars. The Joestars, the Fist of the North Star characters, Bobobo. Everyone you want to play as. Everyone you want to play as. Everyone you want to ask,
Starting point is 00:42:57 and sorry to presumptuous, but since we're piggybacking off Liam's birthday, we have a party favor here. Are we doing that later or doing that now? You didn't tell me about it, so I don't know. I did. When you walked in, you just said I have this. These are fireworks.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Is that later? I'm concerned about the temperature in the room. I'm not informed on where this is going, but here's what we're going to do. We're going to take a quick commercial break with the Joestars. We're going to come back. We're going to get here from Pat,
Starting point is 00:43:29 and then we're going to see what's going on with Pat. Let's do that. Your best friends, break. Today's episode is brought to us once again by the good old boys at Casper Mattresses. The good old boys. I don't talk about it a lot, but I really like my mattress.
Starting point is 00:43:45 I really appreciate it a lot. I think without it, I wouldn't get a whole lot of sleep. Contrary to popular opinion, I wouldn't get a whole lot of sleep. How do you usually do that? I know. It's like a decent mattress makes it a lot easier than a floor.
Starting point is 00:44:01 But is the mattress that you're using obsessively engineered an American thing? No, I use a piece of shit that I still have from high school. And William, was your mattress acquired at a shockingly fair price? No, it was not. I paid Jimmy from the block way too much.
Starting point is 00:44:17 And that's what I'm saying. My wife. But you can sleep in a bigger bed without your wife. And sleep better. Maximum comfort. Where are you going to do that? Casper mattresses.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Don't even answer. I'll answer for you. Do you need a mattress? You don't know. You would probably know if you had a mattress. If what you're feeling underneath your body feels like rocks, it's like a little stone.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Two words for you. Memory foam. Do you understand? Does that mean it's going to remember everything you do on it? It has the sickest memory. It's like a telltale game. Your bed will remember this. When you lie down on the bed,
Starting point is 00:45:05 it shapes to your body and it knows your curves. At first I was apprehensive, but now I'm getting into it. It's like nano machines you can sleep on. Every little weird crevice. Every crevice. Every angle. It's completely remembered by the mattress.
Starting point is 00:45:21 And it shapes over time. After 100 days, it'll be the most comfortable sleeping time. You're telling me that even with my weird legs, that I'll be able to sleep okay on this mattress? Absolutely. And I'll tell you what. I got one of these things.
Starting point is 00:45:37 I didn't know it was coming. One day I opened up my door and bam, this box was there and I'm like, wait, what? That mattress? That's the one William is sitting on right now. Give us a 2 second review right now. The over under is my butt really likes this groove that Willie's feet have formed.
Starting point is 00:45:53 There you go. So, you want to head on over. That's how that is. You want to head on over to casper.com slash super. You use the promo code super and you save 50 bucks toward any mattress you pick up.
Starting point is 00:46:09 You're getting 500 bucks for a king size mattress and comparing that to industry prices, that's crazy. Good mattress will help you fall asleep but also getting a good deal helps you sleep well. There you go.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Your mind's at rest as long as your body is. And you know what's great? A good bed will make your back feel like jello but you don't want to wake up and stand up and still have it feel like jello. That sucks. You don't get the jello back with the casper mattress. There you go.
Starting point is 00:46:41 casper.com slash super. No jello back. Promo code super. Thank you, Casper. Thanks, Casper. Alright. What you got?
Starting point is 00:46:57 Cake. That makes sense. Sounds good. Do you want to describe your week while we eat cake? Yeah, sure. Do you have this word? Yes, it was. I hit 60.
Starting point is 00:47:13 How many hours are you at? You just dropped a number on me. That was a serious number. That was a number that is the kind of thing where I'll email you and you'll be like, are you okay? Is everything okay over there? As part of the Heavensward expansion,
Starting point is 00:47:29 they've added the commands that you can type into the chat, which is playtime. How much have you lost in life? And lists your hour count in days. So there's your first danger warning in which your hour count
Starting point is 00:47:45 is no longer listed in hours. It's now listed in days. And the last time I checked it, which was like two days ago, it was at 20 days and 13 hours. That's a lot of hours.
Starting point is 00:48:01 And that was two days ago. It's been like all Monster Hunters combines now. So Monster Hunters shit in your eyes now. Completely confirmed. I guess that's how it is. I guess that's how it is. Mrs. Moon Muscles made this cake
Starting point is 00:48:17 with is a vanilla with fun party colors. It's got like a berry icing that's really fun. I can smell it from here. Is that the B for baby? Or baby shower? Happy birthday Senpai.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Oh, actually. Okay. I'm not going to talk too much about it. We can't distract ourselves with the cake. I'm not going to talk that much about it. The expansion is fantastic. That's what I hear. I'm very excited because tomorrow
Starting point is 00:48:49 the raid is coming out. Which is something I didn't think I would care about. Because I always shit all over people. As late as this morning for caring about the raid but then they put the trailer out and it looks cool. That actually looks like it will be a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:49:05 So like 10 episodes ago when Pat said I think I'm going to dip a little back in It was 5 or 6. Not even 10. It feels like it was 10. In that space he's played almost
Starting point is 00:49:21 an entire month. No. 2 thirds of an entire month. I started in April. Put the cake in your face hole and feel shame. I don't feel shame at all. If this was Street Fighter what's the difference?
Starting point is 00:49:37 I know you're playing on a PC. Absolutely. I have a legitimate question. I'm sure you know well about the PS4 stuff and you play with people who play on PS4. I'm really curious. How hard does this game struggle to be played in remote play?
Starting point is 00:49:53 I don't know man. Because you would be the only one who would know. It's never come up. It is never come up. The cake's pretty good. It's pretty good. Someone on Tumblr asked how many hours have you put into
Starting point is 00:50:09 your favorite thing? How many breads have you eaten in your life? There was a point in our lives where when Willie was done with work or I'd be done with class I would go to his house and play 3rd strike until I had to take the last bus home. We were doing that like 4 nights a week
Starting point is 00:50:25 for like 2 years. And that was the state of affairs. There's nothing else to do. There's no one else who's going to play 3rd strike for 10 hours and be at the same quality as the other person was. And you know what? No regrets.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Those are some of my fondest memories. It's all kind of one big memory. I can't remember. That kind of makes it better. Every time I think about the old college classrooms one classroom that we played in. The one on the fucking north end.
Starting point is 00:50:57 My number 2 specific. Game's fantastic. That being said not intervention worthy yet. I should mention that I was chucking a red bull coming in here because I have not gone to bed
Starting point is 00:51:13 since 2 o'clock yesterday. I got an idea. You tell us to have an intervention for you. I spoke to you about this at the last podcast. When I came over to record a fucking
Starting point is 00:51:29 Dormento and I said I know I'm not in like I was in with WoW because I got here on time. Because when I was playing WoW in Seijep I don't need to go to class. I can miss today.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I don't need to do this. I don't need to be with Animal Crossing on the game. I don't need to do that test. Let us know. We'll set up the camera and you get to do the No, the difference is
Starting point is 00:52:01 I'm playing it every day and I love it. I absolutely love it. No matter what I say don't let me play it again. Even when I tell you to tell me I told you
Starting point is 00:52:17 I did that before the Warcraft because at the rate you're going at the rate you're going by the end of 2012 by the end of 2012 by the end of 2015 or whatever year we're in you will have only had 11 months in the year.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Maybe even 10 if you work hard enough and you believe in yourself. But as I've gotten older I realized this is how I play games. A game comes out and it's Monster Hunter or it's a fighting game that I really care about or it's an MMO
Starting point is 00:52:51 or it's an RPG or it's crack cocaine and I'm just going to do it and do it until it's done and you can't beat an MMO. If there is no done then I will eventually tire
Starting point is 00:53:07 until your mortal coil is shuffling off. I will eventually tire. As much as I'm making fun of you for it it's not a waste of time. I told a friend of mine about it and he got into it and he's having a similar blast. It's easy to not feel horrible
Starting point is 00:53:23 when there were parts of WoW that were disgusting and you knew it. You knew it. You played WoW and you were like I'm being exploited right now. And you kept clicking. And I'm still going to play. The moment that made me quit WoW
Starting point is 00:53:39 was when somebody explained to me what DKB was and that's your dragon kill points. You got back in at a time when a new piece of content came out. You're talking about 14? No, it happens to me. So I mean like
Starting point is 00:53:55 timing makes sense but you didn't get in because that was happening. No, I just happened to. By the way in two months there's an expansion. Or the hell was I going with it? There were parts that were disgusting. Like somebody explaining to me what dragon kill points were that's like this fucking
Starting point is 00:54:13 bureaucracy The social mechanics of some MMOs are so vile that they put me off that genre for like a decade. That was pretty good. It's a good game. I don't know what to say. I'm running out of things
Starting point is 00:54:29 to say about it. Other than like law tomestones aren't going to grind themselves. It's like you get to the end of this game and it turns straight into Monster Hunter. It's grind for fancy hats and I want to grind for fancy hats. It turns out that's my weakness
Starting point is 00:54:45 in games. Is that helmet looks cool? I want it. I don't care what I have to do. We're gonna get it. I mean you know someone amongst this has got to play MMOs I guess. It's not really a prerequisite.
Starting point is 00:55:01 No. There was that new show that happened. There was that new Game Grumps special where they had this group of people that have never played an MMO have to get to the level cap. They're going in at max level. They have a time limit to do stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:17 I'm like that's a pretty genius idea. That wouldn't work here because I've played MMOs but I've put the most time into Grawl and Ragnarok Online version 1. Those are awesome. It doesn't count. It doesn't count.
Starting point is 00:55:33 We all did our time in whatever flash bullshit. Text only adventure. What do you fucking know? Not much to say about that other than it's fantastic. Are we good on cake because I should put the rest of the cake away? Yeah that's good. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Compliments to the chef. Mrs. McMuscles. Crime TV. He says Mrs. but they're fiends. There should be a new term. Like Mrs. Sassles. Your fiance.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Your other half. Your better half. I did catch a show that I was a huge, huge fan of about 10 years ago that is now back. Have you guys noticed that BattleBots is back?
Starting point is 00:56:21 People letting us know. Have you watched it? I watched a little bit. It's the fucking shit. Is it exactly how you remember it but improved for a modern generation? Yes. Good. BattleBots used to be run by Comedy Central. Remember? Yep.
Starting point is 00:56:37 It was not slapstick, but it was laid back as fuck. They are taking this BattleBots tournament so fucking seriously. It is hilarious. Little Jimmy gets his house taken away if he doesn't win.
Starting point is 00:56:53 They are achieving the total impact of what they appear to want to do. They have some color commentator who has a Radio Man voice. You can tell he does Radio Man things. He's a Radio Man. They have a former MMA fighter as the commentators. Describing sites.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Could he possibly? He knows what a fight is about. It's just a fight between robots. If you watch an episode of BattleBots I don't know this lady's name. This is the fakest TV mom lady I have ever seen in my life. Her smile is
Starting point is 00:57:25 horrifying. She is dead inside. It's real bad. It's great. It is so stilted and produced that when they take the shot of the commentator's ringside pre-fight you can see them.
Starting point is 00:57:41 This is going to be hard for things. Imagine the camera is at a 45 degree angle above their heads. You can see them hunch down reading their scripts for the fight and trying to sound enthusiastic.
Starting point is 00:57:57 It's like looking into a voice acting booth. It's basically listening to Michael Cole. They're not trying to hide it. This is my favorite part because it's technically reality TV, I guess. They'll do their focus
Starting point is 00:58:13 on this is the builder of this. This is the builder of this. We want a little bit of slower music for their family and shit. There's the girl who made Tentamushi in the original Battle Bot. She has now grown up
Starting point is 00:58:29 and has a new robot. That's great. They'll do little cool poses. They'll have like, I have drills and I'm making an angry pose. But then you get outside of the montages then you get the people
Starting point is 00:58:45 just at the ring. They have shown up like this and you can tell because that team, those guys are in slacks and baseball caps because they work at a garage and they just showed up with their robot. But this
Starting point is 00:59:01 fucking cracker ass white family in purple and green voodoo dread shit with their robot witch doctor with the staff and literally like dance around. Hold on, you lost me at some point. Are the teams gimmicked?
Starting point is 00:59:17 So that's the thing. No. But some of the contestants did it anyway. The show told them to put this on. No. No, because most of them are normal. But there's a couple
Starting point is 00:59:33 that I'm going to walk out in fucking, we're all going to wear aluminum foil tuxes with the hipster. We're going to dress up like witch doctors and look like awkward white people. So is it kind of like
Starting point is 00:59:49 CEO where most people just walk to the ring but then some people like take it to this thing? It's so obvious that they were not told to do this. They just wanted to because they were going to be on TV.
Starting point is 01:00:05 And if you win, you look really cool. And it looks so fucking, it's so good. Like, there's just the amount of like, oh, this isn't the reality TV thing. These people are just lame. And
Starting point is 01:00:21 because it's 15 years later, man, these robots are a lot stronger than the ones you saw in BattleBots. Are the house robots better? There are no house robots. That's a robot-worse thing. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, it's totally confusing. So I got a theory here.
Starting point is 01:00:37 I think something's going on because Reggie did throw that Smash Brothers Smash. Kojima was in talks with the BattleBots creators. Shuu Yoshida totally staged that blood-borne thing.
Starting point is 01:00:53 So the... These are all real arguments. So the BattleBots returns. And then, but prior to that, we recently had the DARPA Robotics Challenge. That thing's a shit show.
Starting point is 01:01:09 It's the best, awesome, most hilarious robot failures you've seen all decade. But they're so cool. Chris Jericho won. And now we've got the challenge from the MegaBots
Starting point is 01:01:25 USA team to the Kuritas Japanese team. And they've got their... basically they're like, we got a robot, let's fucking do this. One year from now, Japan ain't got shit on our mech. And then as of today, Japan
Starting point is 01:01:41 accepted their challenge and did their own response video. I think the public is ready. Because he says it's so American to just build a big thing and strap guns on it. Yeah. What we want to do, if we're going to beat them, we're going to beat them in a fistfight in melee.
Starting point is 01:01:57 So they're working on making their robot go faster. And there are shots of the arm flexing and crunching stuff. And they have decided, instead of having a Gundam or a mobile suit versus the mech warrior, they want to make a goddamn super robot.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Yeah. Which is the right choice. It's going to come out with a shining finger. Unfortunately, the problem is the American robot will be analog, which will clearly give an advantage in case there is... Well, the American robot will have the drift. And they'll have the drift.
Starting point is 01:02:29 The Japanese robot is funny almost like Daigo making a video of how good he is at Marvel. Exactly. Wolverine, bread and butter combo. The funniest thing about the production of these videos is the American one is obviously over the top playing...
Starting point is 01:02:45 And they're walking with capes on their backs and doing the whole thing. And then the Japanese response video is not like... It looks like a Kojima Productions interview. But it's done like he's answering questions from a behind the scenes camera. You weren't supposed to catch him say these things.
Starting point is 01:03:01 He's like, yeah, of course we're going to fight. We're going to fight until the end. He puts the flag on and shit. It's going to be great. One of these robots, the Japanese one, needs a scarf. Really cool scarf. Just to finish that off, dude, the new battle box is fantastic.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Sure. The actual robot fights, the level of power that you can put into robots now. One of the demonstration videos is, you know the spinners? You don't have the heavy blocks of spin. Here's the spinner shattering a bowling ball.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Wow. As the demo reel. And it's like, these walls are bullet proof thick as fuck. And it's fantastic. Might add tons of fun. In this Megabot Mark II versus Cortez challenge.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Okay, are we all traitors? Are we all rooting for the Japanese? Here's the problem. Here's the Canadian. It's still the Canadian. But here's the problem. I didn't vote for it. It's not my time.
Starting point is 01:04:05 The crew attest I've been hearing about for like seven or eight years now. We've seen little bits of footage of it here and there. For a while, you can pre-order it and shit like that. So that thing, I mean, I know they've been updating the model, but it's not as up to date
Starting point is 01:04:21 as the Megabot Mark II. And you see the Megabot Mark II shooting at paint bullets that blow out the windows of a car. It's like, you can easily just strap real guns to that thing. It's not hard, right? I think it comes down to
Starting point is 01:04:37 whoever wins, we all win. Because robots are fighting. But I really want the fist one to win and not the gun. I would like me to win, but... Here's why Max is super right. Because even if the robot to win loses,
Starting point is 01:04:53 no one, and I mean no one is going to take that for the conclusion. One, the Mark II has newer tech, but two, it's piloted by two guys and they're sharing their power and their spirits are combining
Starting point is 01:05:09 to fight together. And that's going to be a challenge for the Japanese to work on. I guess one pilots it and one shoots, right? That's the deal. I think it's going to be... Like a fire pilot. And the Japanese robot has
Starting point is 01:05:25 one pilot, mobile suit style set up. And their pilot is adorable. But if you're not a new type, how are you going to move? Part of that interview is like, this is ridiculous. Japan's culture is giant robot.
Starting point is 01:05:41 How can we lose? Yeah, but America prides itself on doing stuff better than other people even though it can't. Right. So fast forward to the 2017 trailer where we're getting them showing off their weapons with PPCs and zero shifting
Starting point is 01:05:57 and lamb the drivers. And you're like, yeah, all right, no, we're getting serious here. That's... If I can actually fly out to this battle, I would love to. Hey, we've shown on something. You know what, I want to see the Japanese robot
Starting point is 01:06:13 show up and have their little instructional video about the arm strength test. And it's an elephant with an American flag painted on the side. And then they just punch the elephant to death.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Just like Bara killed Tulsa. Going to like Aura mode. I want to take a quick little jump off point here because it's talking about giant robots. It's really quick because we actually had a little bit of faux pas, mostly me,
Starting point is 01:06:47 but I guess at the time William and Pat, we all kind of just forgot about it. People were asking, you never talked about that Terminator piece before. So I ended up telling people that that's on the Sleepy Cabin podcast. That's still not uploaded.
Starting point is 01:07:03 No, and somebody was explaining it to people with an extra twist on what you told me. Because I read that again, you can take it to different interpretations, but it really quickly because we're getting on that. But that piece of it we're talking about is a Terminator art book
Starting point is 01:07:19 that is still... That someone was me, by the way. Someone was explaining it. Well, someone else was too. That's like Terminator we ended in people in FF14. No, it was someone on that read it. Basically it was, James Cameron says in undercurrent, I never got to put in
Starting point is 01:07:35 the films with that, Skynet feels guilty of 30 years of I killed 5 billion humans, but I was always programmed to protect them, but I was protecting myself because they were going to turn me off. It comes to that conclusion. It feels really bad. So I
Starting point is 01:07:51 built up, I groomed John Connor to be a saviour of humanity, and I let myself be a target for so they have something to fight against, because I felt humanity needed that, needed a little glimmer of hope that, yeah, you can win.
Starting point is 01:08:07 And it would strategically, I assume this is like a nitty-gritty part, but I strategically would lose battles, or I'd put something out, and I'd give them something to fight against, and there was two different interpretations where I read this, and I kind of went, is this meaning that it let John Connor
Starting point is 01:08:23 win up to a certain point, but then it was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They're actually winning. You're actually winning. You could possibly kill me. Let me send a Terminator back in time to just forego this whole fucking mess. And then someone else was sleeping on a Reddit, and if you read the
Starting point is 01:08:39 bit of dialogue from James Cameron saying I never got to put it in, it was too much overload, but it also said that Skynet cannot self-terminate, just like a lot of Terminators can. So it initiates the war to try and commit suicide. So you might commit suicide by letting
Starting point is 01:08:55 John Connor be its own executioner. And in order to create John Connor, it has to send things into the past. Which is a predestination paradox. And so on. Then at that point, stop. Create the resistance, create the war, make him stronger and stronger, and make
Starting point is 01:09:11 him until the point where John Connor is good enough to actually kill Skynet. So it's Skynet's way of committing suicide. And much like in Terminator Genesis where a Terminator is given a choice and it can't quite do a thing, but it passes off the task to someone else.
Starting point is 01:09:27 Now, the reason why I looked at that and went, oh my god, that's mind-blowing, is because Skynet makes such stupid decisions in these sequel movies that I'm like the only way to save those. You have to be doing it on purpose. Is to be incompetent
Starting point is 01:09:43 on purpose. And this topic that we have, Plague is talking, Plague is like, that's really stupid, but I guess it does log up that plot hole. That's what Plague always says. Yeah, he says that a lot. But like wait for Oni to deliver the sandbag of a generation
Starting point is 01:09:59 with that. What? We all know all of them on that podcast. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I thought you were joking. I was waiting for a punch line. And this comes from Leviosa and Rebecca. Yeah. But I reiterated on
Starting point is 01:10:15 that podcast that this isn't actually in the canon of movies. This is just what the director and writer thinks is an undercurrent of the film. I know, that's pretty canon. It's pretty canon. Well, is it dumb? Yes. But does it save the garbage? Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Well, someone, if that garbage didn't exist you wouldn't need this. But if you had to come along and clean it up, that's one way to do it. Now, unfortunately, Liam kind of got wind of this before we could talk about it. He saw people talking about what do you think as a big Terminator 1 and 2 fan? That's fine.
Starting point is 01:10:47 That's basically how it took us. Oh, that makes sense. Like honestly in our Genesis thing, we quibbled for a while about how they didn't reload the clips and stuff. And it's like, you know, we're willing to be super, super nitpicky about that kind of stuff. But if you go back
Starting point is 01:11:03 to the older movies, there's equivalent and even like far dumber stuff. Which is why when that came up, I said normal action movie problems. Yeah, I don't know for sure. I'm not pointing it on you. I'm just saying, there are so many
Starting point is 01:11:19 problems with these movies that I can buy it. And again, in that time travel story, you have literally infinite timelines. So that doesn't make sense. Well, that's because there was more trying to travel. That's because literally everything possible happened. Or didn't. Or didn't.
Starting point is 01:11:35 Actually, my statement covers that. Everything possible happens. A big one that someone brought up that I was kind of like, oh, shit, we didn't mention this either, was at the end of that movie, to go into like brief spoilers for a thing, fast forward like five minutes, by the way, if you don't want to hear it.
Starting point is 01:11:51 At the end of the movie, when the biggest terrorist attack of that century happens, on Google's headquarters, how did they safely go up to young John Connors family and convince them young John Connors family
Starting point is 01:12:07 and convince them, hey, yeah, do this thing. Everyone was really sad their operating system didn't come out. The police didn't go outside because they were sad about the operating system. Everyone was sad. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the idea of an AI system being so intelligent that it feels guilt over
Starting point is 01:12:23 30 years. I think that's cool. I can get people saying that's also stupid, but that's very rare that that shows up. It's an area that I can buy into. Well, the biggest problem we always have with Skynet is the fact that a machine just does what a machine does.
Starting point is 01:12:39 And Skynet doesn't act like a machine. The Kauris Terminator 1 modus operand of Terminators is like, they don't care. They don't give a fuck. They're robots. They'll never stop. They don't care for Mars, etc. I was about to say a thing
Starting point is 01:12:55 and I was like, oh wait, it's going to launch into a whole new thing, so let's just leave it at that. Now, if we're going to be talking about community involvement, I need to put a product service announcement out there. I appreciate all the Californians that are photoshopping photos of trees and doctoring Wikipedia
Starting point is 01:13:11 articles. So, William, do you know this? I'm in California and they're there. All I know is that I appreciate your... That's the thing is, I saw the smoke from outside. I heard the noises of Pat getting his ass blown out.
Starting point is 01:13:27 But I don't know what they want. William, I appreciate your willingness to live alive in order to spite me. But as we all know, California does not even have water. It can't have big trees. Trees need water. Those trees in Interide the Hell
Starting point is 01:13:43 are big. So, in Interide the Hell, I say, well, these are redwood trees. In fact, there's no redwood trees in California. There's only exists in Vancouver. A bunch of Californians go, that's literally all we have. We have the biggest redwood trees ever. That's where California is famous for.
Starting point is 01:13:59 That's what people that are begging for water sound like. You know what? You're not even wrong. They've been... It's probably... Superman is... It's probably NorCal. Did you hear or read this? No, I just know. I can't be wrong.
Starting point is 01:14:15 It's clearly a giant host. Nobody cares about Banjo-Kazooie. So, you're just trying to get me. So, there's a lot of big stories to talk about. I want to start with the coolest one.
Starting point is 01:14:31 I just want to have a check-in. There's a lot of stories and your coolest one might not be a shared one. I just want to have a week on the podcast though. It should be. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Liam, what's your coolest story? Wait, it's sorry. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:14:47 I want to have a check-in every week. Is Batman Arkham Night on sale on the PC yet? I don't think so. Okay, that's two weeks in. Let's see how long we can get back on. But you can get the Red Hood DLC.
Starting point is 01:15:03 It's apparently 10 minutes long. I swear to God. Well, luckily, your framerate is going to be so shit that it can pump it up to like 15 minutes. 10? It's pretty hard to deal with. So, what's the coolest story?
Starting point is 01:15:19 What's the story that's cool in one day? You know what? Fight over cool. What's your challenger? I'm curious. Zero Escape 3 got announced. That's pretty exciting. This game shouldn't exist as well. Liam was literally telling me about how all that creators' games are huge failures
Starting point is 01:15:35 and he's like, I really wish I could get a single thing for me. After Ruchu's last war came out, he said, man, that didn't make any money. They're never going to let me make another one. Would you like to see, there was that fan, what was it, like, operation bluebird?
Starting point is 01:15:51 That was trying to push to get this to happen and he was just basically in tears on Twitter. So, the deal is the Zero Escape games... The Zero Escape games do relatively well in the States. They do well for access. They do business for us. And in Japan, they are
Starting point is 01:16:07 complete bombs. Complete failures, not to mention they're published by Spike Chunsoft, who also publishes Danganronpa side-by-side with it. Which is to ask every time. They don't own Attack on Titan. They own Zero Escape and Danganronpa.
Starting point is 01:16:23 So that's for me, that was the biggest story of the week. I was really surprised when I saw that because I was like, I get surprised too full. I get surprised generally. Oh man, I can't imagine me being surprised. So that's pretty fucking rad, but what the hell is cooler than that? I'm excited by the discovery of
Starting point is 01:16:39 this Nintendo Sony SNES-y prototype. I think that's fucking cool. We always do these things, but seeing it... But I personally would get more excited when I can see what... Is there a game running on it?
Starting point is 01:16:55 Looking at a console? And so the whole thing, it's not a thing. So far it's been, it adds up. And they actually were talking about the original console that was going to spark the whole FF7 controversy and then
Starting point is 01:17:11 what created the current generation of the current state of video games was this console and the fact that it never came out. I still find it weird that some random guy finds it in a treasure chest. Well, what happened was it was his dad that got it from someone else who he used to work with.
Starting point is 01:17:27 I worked at Nintendo. The person admitted making it and has since stated it was a joke. Wait, what? Wait, hold on, wait, what? That checking will ruin this podcast. Yeah, we shouldn't do this. You should never check the facts.
Starting point is 01:17:43 It's really cool and I fucking wish it was real, but I admitted it. If you check facts, that means people are going to expect us to not make mistakes. There are no trees in America. I only checked it when it was challenged. Well, I checked the trees in America thing, but all I found was lies.
Starting point is 01:17:59 What? Well, he seems really upset. Well, no, I'm just, it's awesome. It's really cool. So put the Sony... What's the Nintendo PlayStation? Where do you see that? Because there's still news popping up as of two hours ago that's like this is...
Starting point is 01:18:15 What site is reporting this? Let me find one real quick. Because I'm looking at the Google News and it's still popping up on various websites. I just heard from a couple people that it was fake. Here on Valedic, they claim to have
Starting point is 01:18:31 the guy who posted the pictures who admits it's a fake, this French guy. French. Like Paris French? Exactly. Maybe. Making up consoles. That's the only website that says that.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Well, this is a story that's in flux. It's in flux right now. It's developing. It's a total liar. There's no, nothing works on it. There's a cartridge and there's a disc. Oh, so it's a cartridge disc.
Starting point is 01:19:03 But there's no power cables. It's a CD-based cartridge. And everyone's generally saying, you don't want to just fuck around and start sticking random power cables. But you can check to see if there's a voltage reading on it and actually find one and go for it.
Starting point is 01:19:19 But... Yeah. What other cool news do we have this week? I'm sorry. Moving on, I guess. I don't mean to be a bummer. I don't think that's true. I'm sorry for dropping.
Starting point is 01:19:35 It's in flux, I don't believe either of you. How about that? I am neutral on this story. I believe this guy thinks it's a fake but it's actually real. I'll believe that. Let's get into a story that's going to cause a lot of way more harmony
Starting point is 01:19:51 and not going to result in a fight at all. How about that red-ash Kickstarter from Inafune? Money number nine isn't out yet, man. Yeah. I didn't even look at it. Because money number nine is not out yet, man. Take it away.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Because I can tell that this is going to be an eruption. I think I do not like the idea of someone already asking for more money when their original product that they're already asked for money and got a lot of has not even been put out yet.
Starting point is 01:20:23 That's all I really have to say. I don't even have a huge attachment to Megaman Legends 3, like I like it or whatever. But anybody, if someone made a final fight Kickstarter and then before you even finished asked for money for another one, I'd still feel weird about it.
Starting point is 01:20:39 Let me go back and explain what the story is. This is Inafune has proposed his successor to Megaman Legends. It's a game called Red Ash. It's also an anime, so there's two kickstarters that came out simultaneously.
Starting point is 01:20:55 One by Studio 4C for the anime. He really wants to make these content. Yeah, the other one is for the game. And so it's called Red Ash, which is a funny little spin-on saying redash, which Megaman Legends is Megaman Dash. So the characters
Starting point is 01:21:11 are back and call. It's cool, yeah. The same names, but just different designs. Just like Trigger. Exactly, doing the Megaman Trigger thing, exactly. And Bezelbone is now whatever this guy is.
Starting point is 01:21:27 I can't remember his name, but his face looks just like it. It looks exactly like Bezel. There's even a little walnut symbol. It's just a shrunken one. So they're not really hiding the fact that they're trying to make legends. In the story and things like that. So yeah, this is out.
Starting point is 01:21:43 Mighty No. 9 would have been the pass-fail decision-maker to back this project. And as it is not out yet, I can't make a decision. Yeah, so this is something that I think, having touched Mighty No. 9 and liking, I liked it. I feel like Mighty No. 9 is going to be fine
Starting point is 01:21:59 once it comes out. But it is really odd to push this out there before your current thing comes out. And I know that concept, I do want to point out, I'm sure we all know this, that Mighty No. 9 is ostensibly done. And he is looking to work on something else.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Like it's not finishing the day it releases. It's probably done right now. It's probably finished right now. Now the thing with this stuff is, of course, is that Comcept is a company that just develops the ideas and the pitch as it were. They find another company to actually do
Starting point is 01:22:31 the development on it. It's something where I would have expected this to come out once the profits were made on Mighty No. 9. The project is done. I would have expected this to happen from the money they made on that as opposed to another crowdfunding campaign.
Starting point is 01:22:47 Who knows what the deal is? We don't know. We actually don't know. When I think about, we can just jump ahead in the docket while doing this, but... You pay me for a service, pay me now,
Starting point is 01:23:03 pay me more money for something else, and I haven't delivered on the first thing quite yet. What I generally expect is Lab Zero announces Indivisible. A new RPG looks fucking cool. It's going to be that both these projects are announced the same weekend.
Starting point is 01:23:19 What's Anime Expo? There hasn't been a campaign for Indivisible that's popped up, but we don't know if there's going to be one. I'm guessing it's not going to be... It's on Indiegogo. Do you want that? I would expect that
Starting point is 01:23:35 these games that would come out based on a Kickstarter campaign or an Indiegogo campaign would make money on the sales and then use that to fund the next game instead of going for the next one. Maybe it is. Who knows what's happening behind the scenes?
Starting point is 01:23:51 How much are they asking for Red Ash? $800,000? You want to make up 3D adventure games? That's just awful. The game's looking for $800, the anime's $150,000 I think. And here's the thing, it is, but at the same time
Starting point is 01:24:07 I don't think it's enough because a game like Mega Man Legends made these days... He outlined that $800,000 would only make the first three episodes of the game. The first two stretch goals, if I remember correctly,
Starting point is 01:24:23 are four more episodes across them. I think it's like 1.2 or 3 to get all the episodes. Honestly, with my feelings that are already stated, I looked at the character designs and I was like, wow, I really actually don't like this character art
Starting point is 01:24:39 and then just kind of left it at that and I was going to just wait until whatever to see how everything pans out. I don't know what the characters look like. It's a very different art style. I heard about it and made my decision before I refused to look at it.
Starting point is 01:24:55 I bet, I totally bet. What I was curious about was who the developer was because I was like, I never heard of them and I went and I checked it out and there's a long list of mostly mobile stuff. There's some stuff that they did for UnPSP and Vita.
Starting point is 01:25:11 It's like Atome and Mobile. They did some handheld stuff. They did and they helped out on a couple of... Shit, what was it? It was like, I want to say possibly on an Atlas game or something or something like that.
Starting point is 01:25:27 Exactly, like Little Assist and Acid Creation and whatnot, but it doesn't look like they've taken on anything of this scope ever. So, hopefully they can do that. I always say in the industry period, Integrinates is too busy with the other 7 projects
Starting point is 01:25:43 that they're working on and that Inafune just needs an asset creation team and he would be able to see the whole thing. Also, IntiCreate's specialty is Mega Man platforming and Mega Man Zero series.
Starting point is 01:25:59 Yeah, I know, but they've made a lot of Mega Man like that. They're very experienced in that is what I'm trying to say. They're the guys you'd go to to make a game like Mighty No. 9 for a game like Red Ash, someone that does 3D
Starting point is 01:26:15 but I mean... No, but I mean maybe they just kind of came up with an affordable deal with these guys. Yeah, of course. Personally, I would love a new Mega Man Legends type game but I'll buy it when it's out.
Starting point is 01:26:31 Fucking love those games. Did you back it? Yeah, and then I changed my mind on it. And I didn't know that there was 2 on that and I pulled my money out. This is the line for me. I was originally... I was hyped and I jumped in
Starting point is 01:26:47 and now Yusuzuki goes to Kickstarter for Shenmue 4. Well, that's weird. I know that's a bit extreme. Or Virtual Battler. Or 3 years from now. It's like...
Starting point is 01:27:03 I can see right now it's not quite taking to the internet with the same wildfire than Mighty No. 9. No, of course not. The thing with the spiritual succession of Mega Man Legends 3 is that you can't really do that. Because Mega Man, generally the Mega Man mainline games
Starting point is 01:27:19 starts and ends, but you actually want to see what happens to that Mega Man. It's a different story. It's a different story, but when Interfuting goes, please help me make this brand new Mega Man or Mega Man style game it's easy for people to jump in and jump out
Starting point is 01:27:35 because, oh yeah, a new Mega Man game would want it. To try to use that same nostalgia to pull on Mega Man, you have to start in a suspiciously similar place. Like Mars. Boy, I sure am stranded on Mars.
Starting point is 01:27:51 I put a bunch of money, and like Comcept so far, I've never been left down by Comcept. I think all of the games they've produced at least the concept they came up with were great. The only bad one, the only stinker was Yaiba, and I think it might be
Starting point is 01:28:07 fair to pin that a bit on Spark Unlimited because the least of that game's problems are the concepts. Yeah, I guess so. But seriously, the least of that game's problems. I give Liam a knowing nod. So I don't know, they did Sweet Fuse and Soul Sack, and Yaiba,
Starting point is 01:28:23 which again, I like the concept, but the game is not really great. And again, Mighty No. 9's actually like it is a good game. It might not be pretty or whatever, but more than willing to put my money in because Comcept hasn't let me down really with the exception of Yaiba.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Again, that doesn't bother me because I don't know why I got excited for a Spark Unlimited game. I should have let myself do that. We all told you. I know you all told me, and I didn't. I don't know why. I don't know why. I just wanted the idea really bad. Me too. And here's the thing, and I got
Starting point is 01:28:55 very excited, and just went right in. I was like, you know what, on second thought I can wait and see on this, and I feel like if that happens, and it does come out and it's fine. This Carkstar campaign finishes Mighty No. 9 will still not have been out
Starting point is 01:29:11 September or whatever. But if this goes through and makes it and everything gets made and it comes out, I'll have no problem purchasing that off of Steam when it ships. Of course. And that's how I feel about it.
Starting point is 01:29:27 I still find it generally weird that your Carkstar is not even fully stocked. Like any company, anything. This is probably not the case. But it makes me feel like they don't have faith in Mighty No. 9 to make any money. I think that's a little
Starting point is 01:29:43 extreme. No, it is. It totally is. But that was my initial things. Like what? Do they think they're not going to make any money so that they have to immediately go to Kickstarter before the game's even out? At the very least, there's one thing you can look at and say is that the work that they're, the stuff they're working on now
Starting point is 01:29:59 is out of concepts has. Right. Inti Creates is doing their thing completely on it. So like this completely different team and like Comcept would have the ability to start on that immediately. It wouldn't be like a division of resources or anything like that.
Starting point is 01:30:15 But, yeah. Tomorrow if Yacht Club Games announces, you know, Kickstarter for Sheldonite 2, whatever. Like they just put out a little notice or press release like a few days earlier. Sheldonite has moved 800,000
Starting point is 01:30:31 units across everything. They get to keep almost all that profit for themselves because they don't have their own publisher in. Deep Silver, I think. Who's publishing the? Deep Silver. Yeah, so they're going to keep every cent. But if they come out of the Kickstarter saying we need like a million or 500,000.
Starting point is 01:30:47 I'm like... Should have bought cheaper hookers. I mean, I feel like... If they ask for 30,000, like maybe they need a little extra help for something. But for a full-fledged other game budget still feels strange. Sheldonite 2, I would say, where's Plague Knight? I know he's coming soon.
Starting point is 01:31:03 And that's super exciting. But where's the other characters? The good faith that you kind of build up on Kickstarter. A lot of times, like if you have established, if you're an awesome legendary Japanese creator, you come in with a ton of good faith immediately on your first push.
Starting point is 01:31:19 If you're a company like Yacht Club or whatnot, exactly, you're like, okay, you know what these guys have done. So, again, your first project, you're going to come out of the gate at light speed, making money on that. But for follow-ups, I guess I feel like people
Starting point is 01:31:35 want a bit more. You know, like they want to be able to be certain that what you've worked on is done. It's not like you're jumping ahead and funding something too early or whatnot. I mean, KG
Starting point is 01:31:51 kind of... You didn't obsidian do a bit while... Different company? Yeah, okay, I'm crazy. We were thinking of In Exile. And I felt weird about that. Oh, no, so In Exile, they did that
Starting point is 01:32:07 while Wasteland 2 was in development. Yeah, I also felt weird about Barstail. They came out and explained that. And it's basically like we wrote all of Wasteland. Like all of the writing on Wasteland is completely fucking finished. We need to start on something else. The writers are fucking...
Starting point is 01:32:23 It's the exact same situation. Yeah. And double find with Master Chalice. Which was a different team here. But people just don't like that. The idea of like... I don't know why people seem to love Torment. I don't know why, but
Starting point is 01:32:39 Torment, I did not feel like this at all. But the number... Yeah, exactly, the number demonstrated that people... I don't know, there's something about the situation that was different and I can't put my things around it. And I know there is a difference, but I can't remember what it was. But I think this is the reason why this is going
Starting point is 01:32:55 as slow compared to Mighty No. 9 is like the feeling that we are waiting on that. You know what it is? I know exactly what it is. I can't believe Mighty No. 9 isn't out. With Wasteland, you look at that kind of game like yeah, that shit takes forever.
Starting point is 01:33:11 Especially the writing. With Mighty No. 9, it's like you just said it, you fucking said it, like game's done. More or less. Like the shipping in September, yeah. Fucking come on. Animated series, I mean Studio 4C is great. They're fantastic, yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:27 They're cool guys. It's odd to do a double prawn Kickstarter like that, but it's cool. Yeah. I don't think it's needed. I don't think it's needed, that's the thing. I think after the runaway success that was the Sonic Boom double team.
Starting point is 01:33:43 Yeah, but one of those is super successful. I think it would exist. I think the way it would exist would be game comes out, it's successful. Gangbusters, everyone loves it. Get an animated adaptation. Yeah, but it's like how many
Starting point is 01:33:59 versions of the game do they need to ship to make it that successful? Shovel Knight's a massive success. They couldn't get a fucking Shovel Knight anime going on that, you know what I mean? They'd have to go through years and years of that. I think it's fun what he wants to try doing,
Starting point is 01:34:15 but I don't think that anime is completely unrelated to the game. I think it will. It's a head proportion. It's asking for significantly less, which is why, obviously. I think they're both going to get funded. Neither of them are going to kill it,
Starting point is 01:34:31 but they're both going to get funded. And I'm glad, I don't want neither of them to exist. Would you have preferred it to be a 950 Kickstarter instead? No, I think it's fine the way it is. Splitting it into two? If it was for both, I would never back it. Because I don't want the anime.
Starting point is 01:34:47 If I didn't want the anime, I'd rather it not exist, but I do want it. And for the people who don't want it, they don't want it. We would just not back it, because I don't want my money to go to the same level. When I backed it and I saw you hit back the game, I saw you didn't back the anime, and I was like,
Starting point is 01:35:03 that's good. Will he's able to choose to not pay for it? Yeah, you're right. I think that choice is good, especially since they're different plots. They're prepared for a world where the game doesn't get backed, but the anime does. Yeah, they're prepared for both, it seems. Granted, the anime
Starting point is 01:35:19 getting back would be the nightmare situation. Because until they hit a bunch of stretch goals, it's really short. If they only hit 150, it's like 10 minutes old. Oh, is that what it is? 150k, well, how many animators can you hire?
Starting point is 01:35:35 Half our dungeon is 80 tombstones. Honestly, they're going to hit both. You need about 800 tombstones. But the products we get with the bare minimum on both of those projects is not... A couple of us in the game, 10 minutes short,
Starting point is 01:35:51 not really a full-on legend's experience, as it were. No, exactly. Around what stretch goal was it to get? It was 2.5 million as a feature film, and it was all building up to that and expanding it up until that one,
Starting point is 01:36:07 which was the biggest one. At which point, for the first one where it's 150k for 10 minutes of footage, that seems expensive, and then you get to the end and it's 2.5 million for a feature film, and you're like, that seems cheap. Do you have anything about an F-Zero
Starting point is 01:36:23 Kickstarter? Absolutely. You don't want a kicky, kicky, kicky, right on back. To say one more thing about Indivisible, I'm glad it's not a fighting game. I'm glad you branch out. Everyone's glad it's not a fighting game.
Starting point is 01:36:39 No, because you just want something, you know what I mean? Skullgirls, as much as it's a darling of a ton of people on the internet, it's too hardcore for everybody. Skullgirls is a ball of everyone's heads, and it's like, that's, I love that.
Starting point is 01:36:55 I finally got my head out of my ass and fucking got into it, and then it was like, I can't get into this anymore, it's too much. It's not viable. I can't even learn the matchups on one character, because they're too complex. Yeah, don't worry about it. Just go look up the undizzy system,
Starting point is 01:37:11 NKH drama. Yeah, I never even bothered, because I don't know why my combo told me it can't combo no mo. So at this stage, what is Indivisible, sorry? Indivisible is an RPG, and it's by the same
Starting point is 01:37:27 team at LabZero that did Skullgirls art, looks like it's going to look cool. Looks good. I'm on board. This game, I think it's going to be developed by WayFord, by the way. Because
Starting point is 01:37:43 I don't think anyone really picked up on it, but the cover for the upcoming Destructoid magazine says, WayFord and ZeroLabs team up on a new game. Okay. For an RPG, I don't think LabZero has even enough people
Starting point is 01:37:59 to really bang that out. Well, it's a 2D action RPG. It's not as complex as it sounds to add the RPG mechanics. Maybe. At the end of the day, you're just changing the damage numbers and adding values to different statics.
Starting point is 01:38:15 I'm glad that we can still feel good about WayFord and Yacht Club. Yeah, those amical break up both remain high quality studios. And they both support each other. That could have easily been like all the good people left. Or all the shit people stay.
Starting point is 01:38:31 Which is what always happens. I thought that happened both of those are the same things. You know what I'm saying. It could have been rare, but it's not. I'm curious. That's not rare at all. This is the Scruples question for you. Mighty No. 9 is not out yet,
Starting point is 01:38:47 but KG and Afune is kickstarting a new thing. Shantae will not be out yet, and yet it seems like they will be kickstarting a new game. WayFord? Along with Indivisible. How do you feel about that? WayFord consistently puts out games
Starting point is 01:39:03 of decent quality. So does Concept. I didn't back Shantae because Shantae is cool. I haven't played it yet. But I'm just saying it was the situation you presented like 10 minutes ago. Is it the exact same team
Starting point is 01:39:19 and the exact same details? WayFord Lab Zero Is Shantae when's that due out? Waiter this year. Haven't they made 40 Shantae games? Oh, five. I think this is the fifth or something,
Starting point is 01:39:35 but a lot of re-releases. I think it's five. Yeah, I think a company like WayFord has put out multiple games and had multiple teams work on things in the past over time and that's been a thing. For WayFord
Starting point is 01:39:51 they specifically said, we have enough budget to put out handheld versions of Shantae and we don't have enough budget to put out Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, PC and 3DS and Vita versions so that's why we went to Kickstarter for this because it's our own character
Starting point is 01:40:07 and no one's publishing it but us. And I guess like I'm looking at it like a company. Well, it is Concept but it's KG specifically. People are kind of looking at Concept. It is Concept. And no, it does. That's the thing is that's why I'm very like
Starting point is 01:40:23 I don't know because they very well could totally be fine with that and it's not the same team. It's not what you call it, it's it creates. So I understand how that can happen. I just feel like the reason why it's not
Starting point is 01:40:39 sparking up the numbers it does is because yeah, money number nine is a hundred percent. No, for sure. You seem kind of blasé on Red Ash and then you were super hype on Indivisible which is, I think, they're both awesome. And I was like, well, it's actually a similar situation. That's all. If I was in a situation where I was waiting with bated breath
Starting point is 01:40:55 for Chante, I might feel a bit more similar about the situation, but because I'm not, I can just go like well, I like the second thing. No, I hear you. I just wanted to ask, given the presence of this unusual situation. Okay, let me ask you, Chante wait for us to get started.
Starting point is 01:41:11 Yeah, absolutely. And Indivisible is lab zero's going to start. Well, again, this is according to a Destructoid magazine No, but I'm saying like on the Kickstarter page it says lab zero. There is no Kickstarter page. The Indiegogo page isn't up yet. Okay, well then
Starting point is 01:41:27 there's nothing to even like. I didn't even know it was a crowdfunding thing until I just saw the trailer in it. You know what? I'm kind of just starting to assume these games are crowdfunding things. Well, that's why I said like Y2K it was a pleasant surprise to find out that it wasn't. Yeah. Because you see a trailer
Starting point is 01:41:43 and you go, all right, where is the KS logo? And it's like, oh, it's just coming. And I was literally walking around the Pancake Construct where he checked on his phone and said, oh, there's a Mega Man Legends like Spirits of Successor Kickstarter. KJ and Afune. Oh, there's also a lab zero thing Indivisible. It's an RPG
Starting point is 01:41:59 and then I was like, oh, okay. And then I actually sat down and just looked at I didn't really look at Indivisible too much but like I looked at the character art for Red Ash and I was just kind of like, I don't know about this and Indivisible I really haven't seen enough of it to even have. Yeah. It's just the really cool teaser right now.
Starting point is 01:42:15 I guess like, like, I don't know how to word this but like maybe part of the fact that Mighty Number 9 is a Mega Man game feels like it's very basic and it's the kind of, it feels like it would be a lot simpler
Starting point is 01:42:31 to get that out there already. I mean, Shantae is a 2D platformer as well, so you know. Yeah. And again, just an observation because it's not often a situation we get where you have like this exact thing. I don't know, man
Starting point is 01:42:47 until we learn more I think we said everything we could possibly say about this. Yeah, that's it. And like I said, you just broke it to me that Indivisible is really kind of funny at all. I still got a shit ton of Kickstarter games in the pipe. Me too. Was Freedom Planet a Kickstarter game? Yes, it was. A while, years ago.
Starting point is 01:43:03 We totally missed it. I forgot to mention it. I played the first little Freedom Planet so it's pretty good. It's pretty good. You gotta play until you get to 5C. Until, yeah, the game does not start until you get to 5C. Mighty number nine like that.
Starting point is 01:43:20 That game is? No, I mean wonderful 101. Yeah. Except for the voice acting and the color depth and the sound quality. That's one of those Genesis fucking things I've played in decades. Nails it. Totally. Good games. What else we got?
Starting point is 01:43:36 So you guys might want to do something. There was. There was. It was hard to get details on this because it was being deleted as I was searching. But a fan made F-Zero's successor. Yes.
Starting point is 01:43:52 There was a Kickstarter for this project called Zero Gravity AX. And it looked like It looked like F-Zero Next GX. I saw one screenshot. I've not even looked It looked like there was a blue falcon. That's because it was
Starting point is 01:44:08 the blue falcon. So this went up and the response it was one guy from Germany, it seems and the response was basically hey man I don't know if you know but you probably can't do that.
Starting point is 01:44:24 Also, even for people that are like yeah, they're like man you want to back it off like a little. Because the video of it is literally just F-Zero. It's the same boost pad you get a boost after one lap. Was it playing shotgun kiss?
Starting point is 01:44:40 That sounds like all it's missing. I couldn't even find the video I could only find a gift from. I watched the video of it. By the time I heard about it and tried to look for it I couldn't even find the screenshot. And literally now at this time frame of this month of this year there are actually a lot of futuristic
Starting point is 01:44:56 racers via Kickstarter and other stuff. I don't even want this because all it was was F-Zero. Oh, I saw the misfits there though. What was vomiting plays? I keep talking and ignore the TV man. I finished it.
Starting point is 01:45:14 That's literally all the way. We are people that are making our living talking about video games. You can't have flashy images nearby and expect us to not look at them. I just wanted to show some footage but fuck it. The point is that
Starting point is 01:45:30 it looks like fucking F-Zero apparently. You're piling in the blue top. So the guy behind this basically is like, okay, Duda immense amounts of negative feedback and possible legal issues. Well, people warned him about legal
Starting point is 01:45:46 failure. I think the phrase we're looking for is shenanigans. Yeah, maybe so. Sure. He's canceling it and you go to the Kickstarter page and 40 people really got to back it before he yanked it. I think the current thing is that
Starting point is 01:46:02 I might retool my design. I look forward to G-Zero FX Fast Racing AX with the red bird. There was a group, I think we talked about in a previous podcast where there was a group that was literally a bunch of people that Sony laid off
Starting point is 01:46:18 from Liverpool that said we're going to make this a new wipeout and you know, there's Fast Racing Neo and there's like two more that I remember even like stuff like Distance were there.
Starting point is 01:46:34 I was going to say beyond the stuff because I remember we checked out Fast Racing Neo but everything that pops up on SuperbestFans Drifts It's like your fans and imitators beat you to the punch. I think we're 50% fine. I'm like
Starting point is 01:46:50 wipe out HD and Fury and wipe out 2048 actually got like big marketing stuff and I was like yeah, I really like seeing Future Racing with marketing. That's cool. I want everyone to know about Future Racing. The next Penelope is another one but the camera is different.
Starting point is 01:47:06 When are we going to get a big Future Racing game again? By a major store where you're not driving a car. Yeah, but I want commercials for it. By a major studio, I don't know when. I was telling him that a game just came out on Xbox as a downloadable
Starting point is 01:47:22 a game called Quantum Quantum Champions which is a futuristic racing game that's super legit and it used to be a mobile game and on Steam and now it's on a console like we're all right now. We don't need someone to literally rip off of Zero.
Starting point is 01:47:38 But you know, I think with that coming out on the heels of the news about the F-Zero game that could have been not coming out like people are hungry for specifically F-Zero you know. I mean, we're getting some stuff. And Nintendo, can we have this? No.
Starting point is 01:47:54 Can you forcibly buy it? And then someone told them no. We need to make a new need for speed. This is the third Kickstarter recently I could think of where the creator just like got a lot of bad feedback on day one and just pulled it down and went on. It's the right thing to do.
Starting point is 01:48:10 Why prolong your humiliation for 30 days? Why just bleed out on the floor for 30 days? My pants fell down. Let me stand here for 30 days while you look at my balls. How about your balls being exposed for five years? You can see the number
Starting point is 01:48:26 of my balls going up. What? Five years. I'm not sure he's gonna... I'm um... Anybody? Anybody got this at this end? Racism? What about racism? Racism was longer than five years. Oh no, no.
Starting point is 01:48:42 Well, it's over now but it was more than five years. So racism ended two years ago. He's talking about a story that I think he and I care about the most I think you guys are curious here. Yeah, I think we're the only ones that actually give a shit. Maybe I don't know what you're talking about. Project
Starting point is 01:48:58 Emma! Oh no, dude I give such a shit about this. Don't you remember the other day? I was talking with you guys and I was like, man, I think that's me and Matt's number one. I want this prototype in my hand. Yeah, but this was after during the weekend so you're gone and me and Willie caught up about this actual
Starting point is 01:49:14 like... I'm really confused about how the two topics we have in our hands linked together. You'll see, you'll see. So the guys at Unseen 64, God bless them, they do God's work. It's amazing. God knows how to run a Beta64. They pulled
Starting point is 01:49:30 up a lot of hidden info on exactly how and why Project Hammer met its fate. Yeah. You know, and... Here we go. So you can watch the video. I'll put a link to it in the docket. The gist of it is that while
Starting point is 01:49:46 the American company working with the Japanese company... First and foremost, Project Hammer was one of the first games they demoed with the Wii. By the way, if anyone wants to look at us... Yeah, like 8.3. You go check out the footage. Exactly. And the demo feels like game number three. Reggie introduces it and it's an action game where
Starting point is 01:50:02 you use the Wiimote to swing a hammer. Yeah, big dumb cyborg. He promised one-to-one hammer swinging accuracy, but that was not true. As all... As all launch Wii games did. Yeah, and you know, it was one of those games that
Starting point is 01:50:18 just kind of after that initial announcement just fell into the darkness. Never mentioned the game pretty much. And so what we found out was behind the scenes the problem was that America working with Japan couldn't agree on what made the game fun or not. On how to fix the
Starting point is 01:50:34 problem that the game is not fun. Running around doing nothing but waggling wasn't enjoyable. Was not enjoyable. I think the American team was like, we need to work on the gameplay. Japan said you need to work on the environment to make the levels better and more destructible. Yeah, so it was the difference
Starting point is 01:50:50 between Metal Gear Rising and I guess Revengeance. Yeah. Because, yeah, Japan just said no, like the game design leave it alone. Just work on the stages and making everything around the game. So
Starting point is 01:51:06 back and forth, back and forth it got heated and it got to the point where the Japanese teams were like having meetings without the Americans and basically saying, you would not understand this, you're not Japanese. Mean stuff. Yeah. This was NST who had just
Starting point is 01:51:22 sent crime hunters. That used to be the prevailing theme in Japanese game development. Yeah. So they just didn't go far back enough. So they just wouldn't have any of it. They got to the point where over the course of this like, really painful development, people just started walking away
Starting point is 01:51:38 because they're like, this is the point. This is pointless, like no one is respecting me on the team, the ideas and so on. It just felt like a giant shit show. In the meantime they... I'm not ready to be Ryan Payton just yet. In the meantime, they reworked the game. Well, the final name
Starting point is 01:51:54 was going to be like Machine X. No, Machine X. And that's the name they were going to go with instead of Project Hammer. Then the video later they... Well, I was going to go there. So they rendered out a bunch of cut scenes of this like extensive cut scene.
Starting point is 01:52:10 Disaster day of crisis level shit going on. That's what I call zero tolerance. Exactly. And as that went on, it seems like over the years they get a point where they're like, fuck this. Scrap everything but the basic concept of gameplay. Take it back to the drawing board, make it
Starting point is 01:52:26 into a cutesy sort of Miiverse based... No, not Miiverse. I think you're looking for Wii Brand. Which is just a portmante Wii Sports So they were trying to push this as Wii Crush.
Starting point is 01:52:42 Which is a great name when you think about it. It is, yeah. They said facelift or not, this isn't fun. And yeah, from there it just slowly descended into nothing. Until there was a skeleton team
Starting point is 01:52:58 working on it and they had a team of skeletons running on it. You can imagine how fast the work went. The story really stinks because not so much Project Hammer but I still... Up to that point I thought NST was just like a great little team
Starting point is 01:53:14 that, you know, Wave Race, Tendency, Snowboarding in conjunction with Nintendo Japan, then Blue Storm, then Tendency, Avalanche, all games that I really liked a lot. My first... Sorry, I meant your brand Hunters. And then we're making a Metal Gear
Starting point is 01:53:30 like aesthetically story driven boss game where you play as a cyborg with a fucking hammer. I was always like I want to play that super bad. So the guy that was behind the games you all listed was the guy that took the fall
Starting point is 01:53:46 for this. And they threw the ship and exclusively blamed him for it. It was a really fucked up game. Anyway, all that to say I was like, that's cool, fine and dandy. Where's the build at?
Starting point is 01:54:02 But what does Hammer stand for? What does that acronym mean? We never found out. Exactly, and I tweeted that at Unseen64 and the guy replied to me and said you know what, I'm going to try, I'm going to see. Good, I'm going to look into it. Thank you, Woolly, for making this happen.
Starting point is 01:54:18 Hot American machine, energy recoil. Yes, damn, that's good. It's easy. You know what I bet it stands for? They didn't think of it yet. Yeah, probably. They didn't think of it yet. They literally were like bullfucking bullshit of the acronym. But next week we'll have a story
Starting point is 01:54:34 where it's the coolest thing ever. Like, oh man, project Hammer was totally worth all that implicit racism. I hope we get what it stood for, the full acronym, and I hope we can launch a game jam with that acronym as the goal sounds great. Meanwhile,
Starting point is 01:54:50 over at NOA, Bill Trinnin is apparently entering Smash Brothers for pools and emails. Which is, that's crazy. That's unusual. Every other fighting game has always had a hard
Starting point is 01:55:06 rule, specifically Japanese fighters, about not letting employees be smashed. Bill Trinnin is not Japanese and Smash is not a video game at all if you're really thinking about it. You think about it a bit more than not at all.
Starting point is 01:55:22 Yeah, pretty much. Tune in live to see Bill Trinnin guess what he wants. And it's gonna be great. Maybe he's successful. I know that. I know it's that hard rule. I would love to see the fucking employees of Capcom
Starting point is 01:55:38 be allowed to fucking play in the street. Especially after they sit down and play. I would love to have fucking great fighter 5 Q18. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not the first EVO. Not the second, not the third. The fourth EVO.
Starting point is 01:55:54 Games had years to stretch. Okay guys, you have your champ. Fight the head of the QA department. I said this not too long ago, but the gods that set Killian built up internally, now that Combo Fiend is there, he's kind of confirming that
Starting point is 01:56:10 they're pretty fucking good. But it's not this, like, guaranteed to be champion and durable. Good, then let them fucking play. Yeah, yeah, it's interesting. That would be a side tournament. The winner of both pools. Fight each other for the journey
Starting point is 01:56:26 versus employee pride. I don't know if it's just on a sportsmanship thing, or they might leave in bugs that they can exploit things. Good, you'll make all the sicker when Ricky beats them. To look like you've officially
Starting point is 01:56:42 beaten Capcom extra fighters. Maybe that's the problem. Well, I think it's pretty standard in contests where people, or employees, or family members of employees are never allowed to compete. Especially not when it's a prize
Starting point is 01:56:58 contest or whatever. Do riot employees play league? Do riot employees play league? But they don't play in the tournaments. Here's what you do. I have a total solution. I have a total solution. Charity tournament.
Starting point is 01:57:14 Maybe. Well, it's not about the money in that case. What I was saying about the whole we don't want to make it look like our guys lost. So that the kids could have extra legs or whatever. I don't think they like it.
Starting point is 01:57:30 Okay, well fuck those kids then. Good job. It is not exactly charity. No way we should have. Yeah, okay, good job. Fuck those kids then, right? That's the world that you want. That's the world that you want. It could be the fucking elephants
Starting point is 01:57:46 for all you know. You're in Capcom. Fuck those elephants. I think if you can make the demand happen, they'll do it. But I think in reality, there's probably only single hundreds or 30 or even thousands that even know about this. Street Fighter tournament, you win.
Starting point is 01:58:02 And all the elephants raise their trunks and dial some slaves. I mentioned elephants earlier. I want to see hidden killers that have been hidden for 10 years. That's what I want to see. I want to know. You know what I want to see?
Starting point is 01:58:18 I want to see we just fired these guys tournament. They're allowed to play because we fired them. That's why Bill Trenton's there. They are now fucking full circle. They are now unchanged. Here's what I can say.
Starting point is 01:58:34 Mortal Kombat 9 was a launch tournament at the cinema that time. So one of the QA guys that tested it on a live music team at no where I worked back then.
Starting point is 01:58:50 WB wasn't around back then. One of the guys that played it every day and entered the tournament and he got second place. And he lost to JFL who was the best
Starting point is 01:59:06 Canadian player who was fucking sick. He just came in and used the demo and that's all he needed. So it seems like you absolutely have an unfair advantage up until the top 8. You're still not going to beat Fudo.
Starting point is 01:59:22 You're getting into the money. Any jobber who's played the game before anyone else can do it. It's like Kamofin isn't as good as he used to be because he's working a real job and all that shit. But when he was demoing Street Fighter 5 against Gutex and Mike Ross
Starting point is 01:59:38 and he knew all this bullshit that they just didn't know, he's got like 20 tricks in his bag for Birdie alone and he gets to use each of them one and he only plays five matches. He's got like imagine you're one of the first Street Fighter 4 tournament and everyone's there
Starting point is 01:59:54 and there's one Capcom employee and he knows how to do a vortex. Exactly. It's over. And he's not that great. He knows what a vortex is. Exactly. That's what happens is you fuck up the middle ground of that tournament. Good! Fuck it up! Anyway, more fighting games
Starting point is 02:00:10 get all fucked up. You told me not to engage. I don't mind. That was like last week. You did not engage with the LFG before that. I'd actually tell you every week not to engage with me. We got some fucking movie news. Donnie Yen is going to be in
Starting point is 02:00:26 Star Wars. To be perfectly clear right now this is rumor and not confirmed. But still who cares? It's not episode 8. It's going to be in the, what is it, Rogue? Star Wars. Donnie Yen's going to be a fucking Jedi.
Starting point is 02:00:42 Oh wait, he's not in 7? Not in 8. Not in 7. It's going to be the spin-off movie. So you can have a scene where he punches a guy in the place of King of Fighters 2002? I'm ready. Nepo Lang. Playing on the fucking clog stage. That's super great.
Starting point is 02:00:58 The only reason why this strikes me is that Donnie Yen has given interviews where he's like I will never work in Hollywood again. Well good thing it's in space. Well he's gotten the shaft so many times. Well no, because he never even bothered. Hey, money speaks. The only American movie that I don't think
Starting point is 02:01:14 has ever played two. And that's because Guillermo del Toro loves us again. Plus that money is direct. I'm never going to be in a Hollywood movie ever again. I don't know why. There's that. Hey, have you seen Barcura's animated trailer?
Starting point is 02:01:30 It's pretty cool. Yeah, I kind of got bored of it. To me, but I was like... I wanted to see more. I know it's a Shot for Shot recreation of the trailer. I kind of wanted like, Shot for Shot recreation of cool scenes that I want to see. Well how long did you spend going through
Starting point is 02:01:46 that vlog is the question? Oh, you didn't see the original Barcura vlog? No, I just watched the video. Okay, because Barcura started like an art project between tons of artists. Because the trailer is done in a more straight up
Starting point is 02:02:02 Simpson style. But the art and the colors and the crazy dramatic lighting done in some of the original panels in my opinion has more fun with it. And it's a bit more interesting. But I think it's cool. Yeah, it's cool.
Starting point is 02:02:18 Who gives a fuck about that shit? Let's talk about Mother's Basement. You said it's on the fucking docket. What? It's the fucking sickest shit in the world. Alright, everybody. I tweeted this out. If you thought you enjoyed the JoJo intros shut up, you're wrong.
Starting point is 02:02:34 You didn't enjoy it as much as all you did. They're better than you thought they were. Oh, is this that video you mentioned to me? Yeah, that's correct. Part 2 came out today. Before we started this. Our jaws were dropped and he spat all over himself in shock.
Starting point is 02:02:50 They're 10 minute videos. The first one breaks down JoJo and the second one breaks down 3 and 4. And this guy, Mother's Basement, he let me know that it went up today. And he breaks down the frame by frame depth of these OPs. There's so much shit in there.
Starting point is 02:03:06 They make other anime OPs shit with how much detail they have. It's insane and it's amazing. Don't even spoil it. Shut up. Don't say anything. Don't say anything. We're moving on.
Starting point is 02:03:22 Shut up, we're moving on. Symbolism frame by frame. Unbelievable. Watch it. You guys listen to Jim Sterling vs. Digital Homicide. I did not, but I heard about it.
Starting point is 02:03:38 I heard those guys are nuts. Digital Homicide. I actually don't know. They made a game called The Slaughtering Grounds. This was actually Cranky's story of the week because he told me this. Then when he caught it with Woolly, he told Woolly, he was like,
Starting point is 02:03:54 people tweeted it at me too. This is a guess. Is The Slaughtering Grounds an early access game that he slammed and then they copyrighted and struck him down. It was the first big one. And he slammed a couple of their games in the transition episodes.
Starting point is 02:04:10 A man's British I always say. Just pure dreck. So the guy at Digital Homicide he made like a Jim Sterling Troll zombie thing that you could attack
Starting point is 02:04:26 or like a DLC, I don't know. Just some dumb thing. I had him attack on Jim Sterling. That's where that comes from. He made response videos and counter attacked and whatnot to try and defend the fact that his games
Starting point is 02:04:42 were made from off the store assets on the Unity which admittedly you're allowed to do. You're allowed, but it's full taste. It's kind of frowned upon because it's not really original. I would contend in this magic world if you made
Starting point is 02:04:58 a 10 on 10 amazing game with completely store bought assets, nobody would care. That would be the exception to the rule. Exactly. So this podcast is them actually hashing it out having a conversation going all right
Starting point is 02:05:14 you want to talk to me in person. How long is it? We'll jump on Skype for an hour. Sick. And we'll have at it. And they do and it is fucking pain. Any name calling? At points.
Starting point is 02:05:30 I listen to the whole thing. But the general thing is you're listening to a guy that I don't know how to explain it, but you know when you've worked with the type of dev that
Starting point is 02:05:46 doesn't understand what he's making is not fun or good? It's too close to it. I'm going to stop you for a second. This is a much broader concept than game developers. No, Woolie's being really specific right now. I don't know exactly
Starting point is 02:06:02 what he's talking about. You're dealing with that over the course of an hour while Jim is trying to get the point across and trying to listen to what this guy has to say. But every defense every argument this guy's making
Starting point is 02:06:18 for his shitty games is just like it was just backwards logic. He's so blindly confident in what he's making when it's just bafflingly and half of his argument is half of his argument is the TV trope you're not so different
Starting point is 02:06:34 you and I where the villain is trying to convince the hero that you're just like me, right? You just use shitty green light games to get yourself over. No, you use videos with assets from other people to talk about your critiques and whatnot.
Starting point is 02:06:50 I use assets from other people made to make my game and your critiques and my coding go into a mix of other people's things. It's mind-numbing but it's entertaining because there's more than a couple points where Sterling guffaws and Burt breaks out
Starting point is 02:07:06 laughing at things the guy says. Yeah, no. This is not a work. This is happening. These two people are talking and move. It's too raw. Ultimately, it's a shame because this guy just dug his own hole and at the end of the day, people are going to
Starting point is 02:07:22 remember Jim Sterling and people are only going to remember this guy as part of Jim Sterling's legacy. That is the exact point of one of his Jimquisitions. Yes. Is that you are now in your fight against the video about slaughtering grounds. Irrevocably tied the name
Starting point is 02:07:38 slaughtering grounds to Jim Sterling. And now no one will ever, ever, ever think of slaughtering guffaws without having the word Jim Sterling pop in your mind. It lets you know that no one will ever remember your game. What game is that? The one Jim shit all
Starting point is 02:07:54 on? Do you mean Vanquish? In a stroke of genius that couldn't be written, the call ends on this weird, because it's shitty quality call. The sky hang up a little bit of rustle and
Starting point is 02:08:10 bustle as the table moves around and then the guy going, how did I do? And then it cuts off. Oh, yeah. And so I was like, that's perfect. I love everything about this. If you've got an hour to cringe, go listen.
Starting point is 02:08:26 I'm gonna, I'm gonna pass. I'm gonna listen, totally. How about how you do that cringe shit? You pass, but you gotta go read Genito comics. But if you've got more than an hour, if you've got 15 to 20 years, hold on, cause no more Heroes 3 is coming. In another 15 years.
Starting point is 02:08:42 I want to give a shout out to Destructoid for using a really good piece of art for the story. Jonathan Holmes wrote the article. Told you. He's in there, man. He's in there now. But generally, it seems like this is almost a non-story, because it's like No More Heroes coming out in 15 years
Starting point is 02:08:58 and it says, suit if you weren't jokingly states. Yeah, of course. This is a fucking Tarantino thing. But if you're saying a game is coming out in 20 years, you're obviously not stating a fact. It's gonna be dead like in two years.
Starting point is 02:09:14 With swear, you would never know you're right. Fortunately, this is Suda. Yeah, I get the mixed up too. I don't think you could ever know in 20 years if you even have the rights to it anymore. I don't know if like Suda's floating head will be able to still make games
Starting point is 02:09:30 in 20 years. But in 20 years, who even knows Video games will be totally gone. Yeah, you'll be making trademark Apple plan lessons. Not too long ago, maybe three or four months ago, someone said
Starting point is 02:09:46 or he was just like I really want to make it over here. Lots of people ask me if we're on time. You don't want to play Apple plan lessons by Apple studios and mine was actually important. I gave you like 45 seconds
Starting point is 02:10:02 to come up with that. Apple plan lessons. That's the future. That's where the industry's headed in 20 years. Fuck. Never mind, it wasn't important. Alright, you know what's not important? Anything? What were you going to say?
Starting point is 02:10:18 Nothing. No, come on, I'll make an Apple plan lesson about that. Done, next story. You see the intro for Pokken Tournament? Yeah, it's pretty cool. Next story. I said the whole story! What else?
Starting point is 02:10:34 I want that to be the whole story. This was fucking cool. I didn't know about this but we're all pretty excited for Until Gone. Now they've announced it's going to have 2 to 12 player multiplayer. What? How? I didn't hear this.
Starting point is 02:10:50 They just came out and said it supports... Wait a second. Before you ask me for details, I can't do this. No, just remind me. I am thinking of the right game, right? The arcade and penitentiary Story Horror. Wait, what?
Starting point is 02:11:06 It's... I am thinking of the one that showed us at the conference that's like the multiple choice adventure horror thing, right? Yes. That's an actress. She's the main character. That's an actress, lady.
Starting point is 02:11:22 There's multiple main characters. The one they showed in the demo on the stage. She was here later. But yeah, they cliched the horror movie game. That game, the game that looks like Dragon's Lair kind of, but awesome. That has 2 to 12 person multiplayer. That's what I just said.
Starting point is 02:11:38 I thought my memory was wrong. I thought I was thinking of like last year. I'd put my money on people voting. Well, let me update. This listing was a mistake. It has no multiplayer. Are you serious?
Starting point is 02:11:54 So, original story... Episode 100 update. Episode 100, everybody. This is everything you can expect from this fucking podcast. I'm still excited for this multiplayer mode. I'm still excited for this multiplayer mode. I now regret not getting closer to the microphone
Starting point is 02:12:10 while I ate my food. If you want to play into one multiplayer, you can lend your significant other the other half of the controller. I pulled the story off for Silicon Era, and this morning, as of 1145, the story said it had 12 players.
Starting point is 02:12:26 It's almost been 12 hours. Was it Silicon Era the very first place to break the FF7 Remake News? Where this story originally came from was just a listing on the PlayStation Asia site. So...
Starting point is 02:12:42 Yeah, well, whatever. Doesn't matter. Game's awesome. What am I supposed to do? Well, you're not to blame. I know, but it feels like I... No, you're not. Just we have to factor. Yeah, yeah, woolly. You made the game not have multi... That's what just happened.
Starting point is 02:12:58 Yeah, what else we got? In foam cannon, it still looks cool. Enthusiasm is what we've got. Enthusiasm. You want to talk about how the guy, the Valve Economist, that took over to go save Greece
Starting point is 02:13:14 fucking quit because six months later he's like, no, I can't do this. I made it. I made it. I actually made a joke earlier about the drachma that everyone sent. I heard it. Yeah, I'm not surprised. That shit's a mess.
Starting point is 02:13:30 Shit's harder than hats. Do you just bomb Greece at this point? Do you just end it all? What? Nobody knows what's going on. He's in a country where you can't pronounce even the most basic last name. Just give him philosophy. No, he still can't do it.
Starting point is 02:13:46 I was at, okay, Cranky's real last name is Super. It's 14 letters. And he met another Greek person. No, not even. Put in two more, right? And he and another Greek friend are talking to each other and they go,
Starting point is 02:14:02 I can't believe your last name. And she also had a long last name. Only in Greece. Get John Chamolto over there. He'll drop a car into the sunset and everything will be fine. So you guys want to talk about the Greek economy for 45 minutes?
Starting point is 02:14:18 I don't, but the only other thing is Europe's weird. That's what I have to say. It happens when someone leaves the Eurozone. Nobody knows. The Phantom Zone. There's a Predator trailer. Is Predator cancelled? Is he not coming out anymore?
Starting point is 02:14:34 I watched the stream of him earlier today. Predator may not be able to pay his debts. And may be forced out of the end. And it's hard to pronounce his actual name. Yep. No, no, I'm sure even. I watched the stream of him today and he looks way,
Starting point is 02:14:52 way more interesting than Jason. Has tons of great things. Can detonate himself and the detonation bomb will attack someone even during throwing animations. The funnest part about him is when he takes damage, he bleeds green. He bleeds green. So I'm always at a point where I go,
Starting point is 02:15:08 how long will I wait to turn off the chat in this stream? And it went to a record .5 seconds where it goes, someone goes, this is bullshit, why is he bleeding green? Fuck you! Turn off the chat.
Starting point is 02:15:24 You don't belong here. Don't even know the character board. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Was there a little small black and white face after that sentence? There were some, because multiple people said this and then other people said it legit. Because if there was a little cap on it.
Starting point is 02:15:40 Was there the phrase, I-la-mowl after this? I know, there are multiple people, some are doing something about it. You know, parts of the internet fucking love how horrible they are. There's a chance that you might have got guys.
Starting point is 02:15:56 Nothing will stop you. That fucking onomatopoeia of fucking Brazil you laughter will never, ever not make me laugh. But suffice to say, Predator has a trap where if you touch a mine,
Starting point is 02:16:12 you then get flipped up tugged by a wire around your heels and you're just hanging in the stage and Predator can do whatever. What is that bullshit? That's not one of the comments. That's pretty one of the comments. It's the same thing as like you know Freeze or whatever. Shinnok actually calls him the Predator.
Starting point is 02:16:28 Just like he did to Jason, he's the only guy, because I assume that was the last voice actor they had to do. No, because he's Elder God. He's got the Death Note eyes. You can see your true name. He's Kaoru. I'm just going to fast forward to the end of the podcast
Starting point is 02:16:44 saying, Matt, what are you going to be doing this week? I'm going to be playing as the Predator tomorrow, most likely. I'm sure he's going to have a sick fucking story ending. That x-ray was pretty fun. That x-ray was really good. His fatalities, I haven't seen the full one yet.
Starting point is 02:17:00 I saw one on the stream. It was alright. Better than Jason. The one thing I was going to say about Poké was that I was wondering if they're going to add in the trainers running around in the background the last second. I was waiting for that to happen
Starting point is 02:17:16 and it seemed like they never did. It was like, oh, they're just going to do the com connection thing. Did you see it? There's a little virtual screen behind the Pokémon where they're talking to them. That's how they simplify that problem and whatnot. It would have been cool to have the characters select.
Starting point is 02:17:32 I really can't wait for them to announce the console version. Now it's a question of is it an X or is it Wii U? How do you think I feel about the fucking Mooda City? I was hoping the trainers would be the grooves that you could pick.
Starting point is 02:17:48 See, that's shit. Get Horn Drilled all my Pokémon. That's excellent. Yes. If you want to talk to us about your Pokémon movement that double is sex moves, you can send that letter in too.
Starting point is 02:18:04 Super best sex moves at gmail.com. That's our other podcast. Super best friendcast at gmail.com. That's super best friendcast at gmail.com. You should change it to super best sex moves. Because then people actually
Starting point is 02:18:22 emailing super best sex moves for action. God damn it, Plague, stop emailing us. He knows. Shout out to the Plague's tenacity. His first video-trifusion of Blanka Kodokan.
Starting point is 02:18:38 That was fun. I'm waiting for the rest. This was your $7,000 Dream Commission. That's correct. So we got one coming in from Only one this week. Well, you know what? More like two. There's a really busy week, unfortunately. Or I can sort through them live
Starting point is 02:18:54 and try to make it smooth. Oh boy. It's like having the lights not be on is really messing with the fact that there's a lot of time and hours. We never know because when we start with the light out, we can never solve this.
Starting point is 02:19:10 Ryan says, Winning sucks. They're super centennial friends. That's a really good excluding MK9. What story in any medium do you think has the best instance of you won but the cost of victory was so high
Starting point is 02:19:26 that you're still fucked? That you're still fucked? What features the ultimate in my opinion? Avengers vs X-Men. It did not turn out really well for anybody. Don't call this a win. Don't call this a win fucking Cyclops.
Starting point is 02:19:42 Just the fuck up. Yeah. I'm gonna go with God of War 3. Yeah, that's a good one. Also God of War 2 and God of War 1. Yeah, but most of God of War 3 is like the absurd
Starting point is 02:19:58 ultimate version of this episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got one on my mind but like this is a huge... Nep-Nep. There is a Nep-Nep ending. Nep-Nep 2.
Starting point is 02:20:14 It's stupid that I can be right by taking that. Like throwing out a random thing. Fuck. No. I guess we'll just play that all weekend on this video. I guess I'll pick another one.
Starting point is 02:20:30 Soul Sacrifice. Oh, yeah. That seems like a game that we should take away from that. The vanilla story, the whole thing is like you can save or sacrifice people but if you sacrifice them you like gain their power
Starting point is 02:20:46 and memories and stuff. But if you save them you just bring them back to life. So when you fight the big bad you either bring him back to life and fight him again. Or you absorb his power and memories into yourself. And he totally overpowers your body eventually
Starting point is 02:21:02 and you become him. And you're fucked. Like there's no good ending. No, that's a good ending. You win. If you say so. Whatever you say, buddy. He got what he wanted.
Starting point is 02:21:18 No, I don't know. A little bit of sweet. It's one of those genies. So you climb up there and you find out those fucking apples are poison as shit. You're like, damn, I'm super mad they took this glitch out of the fucking European bird. You're gonna carry that limb four times.
Starting point is 02:21:34 I don't even think the ending of MK9 is that bad. You got rid of Kong, you got rid of Wukang. But then he just came back. Yeah, he came back as a cool character. Khan's ending in Street Fighter 4. I don't even know what the fuck it is. What the fuck is it? He beats Ihonda and then they shake on it.
Starting point is 02:21:50 Does he really have the best oil in the world? He needs to come back for five so that we can get an answer to that question. I fucking wish you could come back fighting to find the answer. James wants to know what is the sharpest increase in quality between iterations of the game?
Starting point is 02:22:08 DMC2 to DMC3. I think that's fair. Because they knew they had to? It's such an obvious answer. I had to get it out fast. You want to disqualify that one? Yeah, I do. Assassin's Creed 1 and Assassin's Creed 2 is pretty sharp.
Starting point is 02:22:24 Really? I'm gonna say Zoe to Zoe 2. Not the sharpest. It went from a good but rough game to a game of the year. I didn't feel like it was flipping the tables on its head though. I didn't. I'm very confident in Zoe to Zoe 2.
Starting point is 02:22:40 Because mediocre game of the cool idea to one of the best games of all time without any question. Uncharted 2. Uncharted is an okay game but Uncharted 2 is fucking nuts. Metal Gear 2. Metal Gear 2 to Metal Gear 2.
Starting point is 02:22:56 I think they're kind of two different. I guess if you have to cut the time. Yeah. They're all on the same page. Ninja Gaiden 3. Ninja Gaiden. If you want the real answer, the all time best, greatest answer,
Starting point is 02:23:12 that can't be beaten. Street Fighter 1 to Street Fighter 2 World Warrior. There's no competition. We're done. There's no competition. Go fucking find Street Fighter 1. That game's a piece of shit. It is mind blowing.
Starting point is 02:23:28 That game came out after ER Kung Fu. Yeah. And was that bad? It's Street Fighter 2. You're talking about Street Fighter 2. It makes me so mad. Street Fighter 1 is so awful.
Starting point is 02:23:44 Let's talk about air next. We're fine. I think RE3 to 4 is an interesting one too. Because it's a pretty good game but then 4 is the best. It's actually Code Veronica which is even better. Because Code Veronica is supposed to be 3
Starting point is 02:24:00 and 2 is supposed to be the side. It would be 0. Zero to 4? Yeah. 2002 to 2004. No, it's Remake to 4. No, this 4's design was based on the remakes
Starting point is 02:24:16 of poor sales. But that's Makami made RE4 the way it is. Because of the lessons on Remake and not on Zero. I can say if we're going for more than two games, like a continuing combo,
Starting point is 02:24:32 the beautiful Joe franchise going from beautiful Joe 1 to 2 to Red Hot Rumble is what the fuck was that even called? You're going in reverse though, right? Yeah. You switched the DS 1
Starting point is 02:24:48 and Red Hot Rumble, yeah. The DS was pretty good. I can't even remember. But the beautiful Joe franchise still good. But I don't feel like any game that came out in beautiful Joe's life was better than the one that came out.
Starting point is 02:25:04 The second one was really good and more of the same, yeah. Mario Sunshine of Mario Galaxy. It's a good one. Yeah, that's a good one. Again, not the darkest. Twilight Princess to Link's crossbow turning. I was going to throw
Starting point is 02:25:20 some bullshit at you. I like that game. Okay, we got one from Bud Boy Jr. And he says, hey, Super Budman Lords, long time listener for some writer. Thank you.
Starting point is 02:25:36 Timely emailed this week. Now that you guys are 100, could you... You can do it. It's worded weirdly. Just read it. Your own interpretation. Now that you guys are at 100,
Starting point is 02:25:52 if you could live to 100, would you prestige your life and retain all knowledge of your past life? Or would you stay 100 years old and stay a crazy, ultimate old man? Or would you stay at 100 for a while? Or would you prestige your life? I'm going to assume
Starting point is 02:26:08 he means get another 100 years old. New Game Plus or continue your side missions? New Game Plus for sure. Why wouldn't you? What benefit is there to not New Game Plus? If you get to retain even basic knowledge,
Starting point is 02:26:24 like, Microsoft's gonna be big. Fucking... But you rule Earth. So you've got to wait 20 years before you can be a human again when you New Game Plus, but if you're an old man going from 100 to 120... I don't want to think more than Joe.
Starting point is 02:26:40 Yeah. It's as cool as that is. There's no argument for the opposite. I think there's a line in the Edward Norton Incredible Hulk where Emile Blonsky goes, if I put what I knew today in the body I had 20 years ago,
Starting point is 02:26:56 I don't want to fight that guy. Unless you were in startlingly good health for a 100 year old, like... Yeah, if you're Captain America, fine. Or Nick Fury. Jack... No.
Starting point is 02:27:12 I'll just pick an hour-end of names on my marks. Anyway, he's a real person. Jackalope, the fictional... The guy that was style rabbit? 80, that was bodybuilding in the suit. One from Nick who says...
Starting point is 02:27:28 What's the most stereotypical thing you've seen from a person of that stereotype? Uh... For me, it's... He is having his talk in the Red Wall series by the book Brian Jock. I'm not sure, but...
Starting point is 02:27:44 I've got one. I have on numerous occasions seen fully eating chicken. And drinking purple. I remember that specifically because there were no words exchanged. Because I looked at him and he looked at me like, you really?
Starting point is 02:28:00 I'm like, no, I got what I wanted. I... I was with Schmuck got Pat. And it was one afternoon we were all pretty tired and hungry. We were like, alright, let's just head on down to the KFC. Why not? We hate ourselves enough. Fuck it! All I'm willing to
Starting point is 02:28:16 is just walk out of the KFC. You know what? Like, the mood felt right. It was that kind of day. And so we're standing in line there just like laughing at ourselves, being like, oh god, here we are doing whatever. It's ironic.
Starting point is 02:28:32 So, uh... old, wise looking, almost like a magic pixie black man kind of thing. The magical Negro. Looking dude, walks up who we've since dumped Porterhouse Carter. That's solid!
Starting point is 02:28:48 That's good! And he's like, okay, so tell me about tell me about that. What is this combo over this family feast? And they're like, well, you got the sides in the business. Can I get... Can I get the feast? And they're like, yeah,
Starting point is 02:29:04 you get the coleslaw, your choice of whatever. It's like, no, no, no, I don't want to hear about none of that. I just want the chicken. And we just want... And you just stay in line? We melted into the crab. And then you both go, what's our uncle doing here?
Starting point is 02:29:20 You know, woolly, when you and Liam were all in Japan, almost everyone there acted like a bunch of stereotypical Japanese people. Yep. Ironic. Sure, it's true. Japan stereotypes hold up aggressively well.
Starting point is 02:29:36 Very quiet, very polite. Just this past weekend, with Cranky, he was getting something red, like a 7-Eleven, the Doppener, whatever. And some guy, a French guy, he's living in Quebec, he's on his phone, and he...
Starting point is 02:29:52 I don't know the context, but he literally went, and I was like, all he needs is to be eating fucking frogs. I have made that noise. I've seen my dad make noise. I didn't hear what he said before. I've seen my brother make that noise.
Starting point is 02:30:08 I didn't hear what he said after. I remember specifically a moment at the dinner table when we were watching hockey, and dad is smoking, and the May west... No, the joy was Joe Louis. And the cigarette doesn't leave the mouth. And he eats the Joe Louis
Starting point is 02:30:24 around the cigarette. That's fucking KBQ. It's like, dad, you fucking French man. Like, come on. Pepsi and mayonnaise. We're watching the half, Pat. That's great. We're losing again.
Starting point is 02:30:40 Not too long ago, come eat at a pizza pasta. He was joking, though. I'm pretty sure. So now that's a thing. We were going through Netflix and we saw a documentary about Mediterranean sharks. It'd be really funny if these sharks were like,
Starting point is 02:30:58 eh, come eat at a pizza pasta. And every animal that's from a particular nation just has a racist human accent. Eat at a pizza pasta. Charles Martin was at Comic Con. This one? I really wanted to say something like
Starting point is 02:31:16 that Mario would never say, but it never got to me. Two things, I guess. Super Quebec stuff, where I was talking to a friend of the family and his wife, and she's super Quebec born, and he's kind of more English
Starting point is 02:31:32 from Ontario. Yeah, exactly. And she was talking about how she had to replace the windshield on her shawl. And he was like, what even is a windshield in French?
Starting point is 02:31:48 And they just sat there until one of them talked about it. What was she saying? The windshield on my shawl? Wait, sir. Okay, so I called the kids, I called a cab
Starting point is 02:32:04 to get to one of you places the other day and the guy passes by my house because you know my house has the weird corner. And I'm trying to explain to him that he passed the thing and I can't for the fucking life of me remember the French word for building?
Starting point is 02:32:20 And he got it. And he's like, oh, there's what building? The building on the corner, you just take the right or something like that. The building on the left. Okay.
Starting point is 02:32:36 I'm like, I love it. Our language is dying. We need to defend it. Assume more English into our language. See, we have our wall but there's cracks filled with some English words here and there.
Starting point is 02:32:52 It's like the creep is expanding across the planet. That is French. So we need to assimilate more language but we're worried about the fucking words that are causing our creep to dissipate. The ultimate is working at a grocery
Starting point is 02:33:08 store and helping people bring their shit to their car and it's like I lost my shawl in the parking. Yeah. Shawl. Shawl is an amazing word. I can't believe people still
Starting point is 02:33:24 say shawl. That word is like 50 years old. People say that shit. I bumped into a gaggle of fans at Montreal Con Con. They're all French. And they go, never stop.
Starting point is 02:33:40 All of you speak French here and there. It's always hilarious. My girlfriend has the problem where she'll assume a word translated into English is pronounced the same way. It's unfortunate because it's really long words. I don't have any examples off the top. You'll still hear me do it
Starting point is 02:33:56 every now and then when I say shit like sarcasm. Yeah. Where it's just like I speak English 99% of the time but sometimes my brain just fucks it up. It's like, oh no. Oh, stop caching it.
Starting point is 02:34:14 What's he called it? I remember two years ago at Christmas at my... Oh, that's a fucking Quebec name. Wow. He's Saint Jean Baptiste. Saint Jean. Saint Jean.
Starting point is 02:34:30 Saint Jean. So like fuck. There are 100 million people who are in his place for a super French-Canadian Christmas party. Fucking square dancing to a French-Canadian fucking cowboy franga
Starting point is 02:34:46 and other assorting What is fucking his? Is there a fucking CRT without his gratin? Yes! Then it's still a CRT in that room and it still plays that. I was talking to Mike about fucking Elvis Gatton like fucking nine months ago
Starting point is 02:35:02 or some shit. Gatton. No one will ever... You cannot explain Elvis Gatton. No. And then my cousin comes and he says I'm gonna put on the good stuff. We have our own Frawleywood is what it is.
Starting point is 02:35:18 Yeah. I love fucking Elvis Gatton. Fucking good shit. Quebec culture is fucking the best. It's so fucking weird. It's so good. What's coming up? Is there anything on the channel?
Starting point is 02:35:34 Tormento. So that keeps good. Spoiler. That keeps good. And the right to sex hell always continues. Right to hell sex. Right to hell sex. Sex hell ride. They ride me to hell.
Starting point is 02:35:50 It goes on. Sorry. We need to send you... I sent Liam and Woolie that fucking animated gift that we asked people to make of the cut scenes just stopping. Of the water thing. And Woolie refused to respond
Starting point is 02:36:06 but Liam's response to the baptism thing was literally oh gosh. I don't think there's been any game that we've done that's so giffable. Is there the fucking cop flying off the left side of the screen onto the fucking road? That game is probably the worst game
Starting point is 02:36:22 we've ever played and I'm so happy. I don't know. Our callouts are building up so we have to address some of them. There's a couple. We can't be calling out other people until we address some of the callouts. We never address an open interruption call.
Starting point is 02:36:38 No. There's an open interruption. If you want to talk about them there's best for now and there's some other stuff that might be coming. There's more callouts. There's more callouts that are cooking. What are you fucking guys doing? Because I know I didn't
Starting point is 02:36:54 call out to anyone new. Well Matt accidentally inadvertently called someone out recently. That's correct. I was not intended to release that call. But people pushed it. Every time you call someone out you know they're going to call you out
Starting point is 02:37:10 and you're going to be like fuck I don't want to do this. All of you get out. We'll all get called out. Let's just have a big callout fight and we'll all stand in a circle and call each other out and then have something to do in the circle. Mexican call out.
Starting point is 02:37:26 You remember that scene when you were doing guns on us for the Mexican call out? I'm getting that worst. We're going to be addressing one of those callouts this week. I'm not eating anything. There's a couple new OPs that are going to be starting.
Starting point is 02:37:42 We're working out the details but shit's happening. And then the non-stop confess summer continues week after next with Screw Attack Gaming Convention.
Starting point is 02:37:58 Right after that is Con Bravo. Now I was debating for a third con by myself. You have a problem. It's pitching the possibility
Starting point is 02:38:14 of maybe squeezing in another... Watch it be in England or something. Do you think can I maybe go out to Boston for Godzilla con? Chicago at G Fest.
Starting point is 02:38:30 For G Fest. I've wanted to go the last two years and something like that. I have no authority over your life at all. This is for myself. But the answer is no. I heard someone say
Starting point is 02:38:46 I'm going to Chicago for G Fest. I would not think it was for Godzilla. I rocked that spot. Anyway, now I'm not going to that. There's just too much to fucking do. So that's not a thing. Do you really want to fly down to enter some guy's garage?
Starting point is 02:39:02 No. So this is what Willie says. You're going to go in a tiny room Yeah. A tiny room with everything I love in one spot. And not be a splinter of the one true Godzilla in there. That you can wear around your neck. I can lick.
Starting point is 02:39:18 You'll come back to an empty house. This is the kind of nonsensible rambling that you expect. You're back for 100 episodes. After 100 episodes. Stay tuned for... What are you doing now?
Starting point is 02:39:34 You're too slow though. What's up? Stay tuned away. Have a straight air horn, man. I made it. He's hitting the fuck. No, it's too late now. He might have managed it too.
Starting point is 02:39:50 There we go. The only way to save this is to put 4 hours of blank audio at the end so that people get excited when this is a 7 hour podcast. I hate it when videos do that. There you go. No, you have to stop playing that right now.
Starting point is 02:40:06 Oh shit. That's a problem. That might be a problem. Hey, I don't know. It's fine. Steve Jobs is fucking skeleton that's gonna come at you
Starting point is 02:40:22 with an apple. It's fine. Stay tuned in. Thank you for sticking around 100 episodes. You guys are awesome. See you in the next 100 which I plan to do
Starting point is 02:40:40 because I gave it 3 digits. Good job.
