Castle Super Beast - SBFC 112: The Infinite Tsukuyomi Has Begun

Episode Date: September 29, 2015

Hope you guys like Star Trek!

There's a lot. I seen anticipation threads for this podcast. The build, yeah. What episode number is this one? You know, it's a shame we've got to go through this. It is. The song and dance. We don't even talk no more. We don't even kiss. This is episode 112 of the Super Best Friendcast. And go ahead, Liam, ask me.

Ask the question. What's your esoteric fact about the number 11-2? Well, I'll have you know that 11-2 is actually the emergency contact number in most European countries. What? I wouldn't have known that. All the European countries that end in, like, IA? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like all the little countries you don't care about.

Like the Eastern Bloc? Like the Eastern Bloc? I would have burned alive. Countries such as Albania, Andorra, Austria, Lithuania, Australia, etc. Australia, really? Wow. Right next to it, yeah. Malaysia, Macedonia, Macau. Australia is not an Eastern Europe.

And guess what? What? If you dial 112 in Canada, it redirects to 911. Oh, what? Really? Because there's so many Europeans. She is. I had no idea. How about that esoteric fact?

That's a good fact for the week. I remember when I was a little kid, when I was 5 or 6, there was a commercial on TV about 911, and I asked my mom about it. Apparently prior to when we were little kids, there was no 911, and then the Americans started doing it, and then we picked it up because we all watched American TV, and everyone was fucking dialing it, but it used to be you had to actually just call your police station.

Call the sheriff. Call the hospital. 911 is way better. Damn. That's a good one, too. Back in the days when there was no yellow fucking light, and it was just red into green into red. That's every day of Montreal.

One, one, two in Australia is the default number that whenever you pick up a phone in that nation, it just goes, what's the problem? Have you been bitten by anything? You pick up the phone, and until you prove you're not calling your mom, it automatically gets to you. Boy, boy, minister! Andy! Boy, Mike!

That's the wrong one. Malaysia's part of Europe. I'm new every day. Well, Malaysia is built into the Seychelles. That's a bloody outrage it is. Luxembourg, Mauritius, Panama, Pakistan. Mauritius is a tiny island nation off the east coast of Africa, if I remember. I had some friends in high school that were from Mauritius. They're nice people.

It's like near Madagascar. Yeah, something like that. A lot of non-European countries, too. I wonder why it became 911 or 112. Holy shit, this list is insane. So, are you saying we're the odd ones out? We're the odd ones out. Some American, some American.

Packed by Ric Flair. Some American carriers also redirect. So, Willie, what you're saying is that if you're having a podcast emergency, just tune in to podcast 112 to learn about the number. To learn that this won't help. You're having a good time now. Everyone, open more podcasts. You're going to have a good time. Dial the number in, and 112 black guys will show up right at your door.

They'll help. 112? 112 of them. That's a lot of black guys. They'll show up at your house to break up with you, because it's over now. Netflix and chill, though. Netflix and chill with 112 black dudes. That would be the best weekend ever. That is the ultimate chill.

You guys see that video when you take anime too seriously? Yeah, I love it. It wasn't inside enough. But it's not so long ago. Yeah, exactly. They discovered by the mainstream. No, exactly. Like pop music.

More importantly, motherfuckers, there's water on Mars. Can I swim in it, though? Can I swim in it, though? It's way salty. So, yes. All the flavors in the universe. And they chose to make it salty. Liam, you're quiet, so you can roll around in that shit.

And just wet yourself, but you'll be fine. Absorb it all. Absorb that salt. So, I was wondering which one of you was going to hit Mars first. You or you? Good for you, Willie. You did it. Did you tune into the live stream? I did not.

They're fucking on you stream. NASA's in school. I feel like we are five to ten years from a guy in a suit getting up. By the way, so we found some germs. And then everyone's going to go crazy. Yeah. Because here's the thing. It's like, all right, are you bringing back samples?

Yes. When do I get my symbiote suit? Yeah. Later or now? You have to be the son of J. Jonah Jameson and make a mission to Mars, then come back. That's when it is. Or participate in the secret wars.

Which Willie's always been planning to do. It's on the bucket list. It's always been one of those far-flung astronomical theories that it's possible that human life actually originated on Mars and got blown off that planet by a snicked meteorite, which is one of those meteorites

that has organic matter in them. Because we have a bunch of those. It's not goo, but it's pretty close to goo. It's goo-y enough. So if they find one germ on that fucking planet, then all of a sudden it's like, uh-oh. Are we even Terrans?

Yeah. But at the rate we're going though, it's not even matter because let's not forget that we're already in the middle of the infinite Tsukiyomi. That's correct. The sharing hand in the sky has begun. So guess who went the most nuts about that?

One D. James Goddard, who said the warrior's moon. The weapon lord has drawn forth. It's all coming. It's all coming to a head. The ultimate warrior, rest your soul. The blood-red moon. Did you see that CNN screenshot?

No, no. It's the infinite Tsukiyomi has begun. And it's just this terrifying photo of a sharing hand bearing down on Earth. And it's like Ichigo and Goku has been called in as reinforcements. No, Ichigo is a good guy. And Bufu Special Forces.

Sikura is being helpful. I think my favorite was that one guy on V last night who posted a thread and said, I'm super drunk and I looked at the moon. What's happening? That is a picture. The first post is, did you play Bloodborne?

And then ostensibly the same guy says, I'm so scared right now. You make contact. So what you're saying is we discovered water on Mars and the heavens told us no. There's water bad. Uchiha Itachi's plans

are coming to a head. You stay on Earth, you fucks. So the sunbi takes over Itachi, right? Then what? Then he uses the black sun jutsu on Jirai's dead butthole or whatever. So we all saw the red moon, right?

I did not see it. I saw it. Did you notice? I saw it because you texted me and everyone in the moon after you left. You'll look at the moon. And then we heard someone outside go, Yo! So did you know after the moon

it was like an ultra moon? And the moon was at its closest to the Earth at that point? I was trying to sleep. And it was like fucking daytime outside. You got a super moon. Well, because the Yagami clan must be reborn.

And what better way to summon the carousel? I saw lots of people like, oh man, lots of people bloodbending tonight. It's the most powerful. Bruce Almighty is on a date. I had a horrible moment during that blood moon phase in which I discovered too much

about myself as a person in which I was playing FF14 and people were going, Dude, you gotta look outside! Here's the blood moon! It's crazy! And I literally looked over to my window, noticed I couldn't see it from where I was sitting

and just said, No, it's only once every 29 years! I didn't say you'll see it again. But I want to mine these rocks now. Even Nintendo was like rocks. Nintendo was like watch out for if it has a face and whatnot.

That's funny. Not quite the Sonic the Hedgehog. Nintendo, you guys are a hilarious guy. God, that cranky Hong phase on that Twitter. It's a rollercoaster ride of epic divorces. I hope that Twitter account is put into a time capsule.

And then in 50 years, someone's going to look back on it. The Sonic or Nintendo? I hope that the person running that Twitter account has a mental breakdown and goes all the way and then Sega tries to fire them, but can't get the account back. That's what I want.

Because the person has it signed to. No, I'm Sonic for real! They have to take legal actions to stop it? Yeah. Or I want the next Sonic game to just be a Twitter feed of that. Sonic's Twitter adventure. Yeah, that'd be solid. Get those hashtags.

That's a concept there. That's money. That's what they put out on Twitter today where they put out a tweet that said for everyone asking about localizations, we hear you all. And then one of the first responses is what about Tales of Vesperia PS3?

And they respond, not that one though. That boat is always sailed. That boat has sailed so long ago. I forget. What was it? It was some PlayStation blog post from a month ago that you and I were laughing at.

That was like, what about Revelations 2 on the Vita? Yeah, it was a completely unrelated post. These people exist out there that it's like, I'm just gonna ask every single time. Nothing's gonna happen. I don't care if it's 15 years old. When are you gonna play Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm?

You should ask yourself that question. I saw the best post on an Until Dawn post that said, fuck this, where's Until Dawn? And I'm not sure if it was like, this is funny or the guy just didn't know. No, that's an underrated comment.

No, it's the robot that that guy created to download those videos. Like, fuck that. That's a lot of downbots to download. Why do those exist? Aside from Blood Red Moons, what else did Woolly do? Oh, I can, you're right.

Yeah, what'd you do then? Something that I've been meaning to do for a while, I finally started the Sopranos. Oh, that's actually doing that. Yeah, because you wanted to do a thing. Now that you're like, let me watch Sopranos first. Now that that's getting married,

you don't want to accidentally make some kind of social faux pas. Or you could forego the show and just hang around with me for a few months and you'll get all the Sopranos you need. So there's a giant steel Jesus. I got it not. I was literally with a guy that was someone poking me and said, that's the guy.

Anyway. I gotta not be the woolly young to this family. That's right. No, that was something that was on the air. When I was what? Grade 7? And it was like, this looks really good.

But I can't have these titties on screen flipping around while my mom is walking by. It's not going to fly. So now that I'm a grown ass man. And you can't watch it with them because that's even worse. I still can't have those titties popping around the screen. Because you never know when your mom could just bust in. You don't know what you're messing with.

You don't know what you're messing with. What am I messing with mom? Anyway. But I hate the son and the Sopranos so much. I hate that kid's face. I feel bad. Even when he grew up over the course of the show.

Like even just his appearance? I'm sorry. I don't usually have that reaction. But I always hated him. I never cared when he was on the screen. Every time I saw his sign stories at a glance, it was always annoying. But starting from the beginning, I like them all. It's good that you can see why

the show is considered legendary. It's amazing. It's a great ass show. It's like one season in two days or so. It's like yeah. You're patting it. Any of you guys finished Bojack Season 2 yet? I haven't even started.

I need to start one day. All I gotta say is the cringe factor dude. Good. Did you finish it? Yes. The cringe that you had at the end of Season 1

is fucking tiddlywinks. Zero cringe at the end of Season 1. The Season 1 Episode 3 or 4 where he's making out with the girl from the show and Todd gets dragged in. That's probably the worst moment from the first season.

How many of those? This is where we're going 13. 15 on 10. That's what I want. You're just crying and hiding from the TV and being happy. Me and the girlfriend had to have a conversation afterwards

because it was like why'd you laugh at that? What does that mean? Do you have the problem that I have that when you run into that stuff your arm just lashes out and hits pause? I don't look. I don't look.

Do you have the fortitude to just be like You gotta keep watching. You keep it going. You unplug your mouse and let it go to the end. And just let your teeth hurt. When cringe hits me really hard I look down at the floor and I listen and I just go

I can't believe I'm watching this. I watched the Chris Rock movie Top 5. It's funny it has comedians in it but it accidentally turns into a rom-com at the last 13th hour. As we've all discussed if you want to watch your rom-com, start the rom-com episode 1.

It's been a fucking while since I've watched the thing where it just accidentally whoops rom-com. He's usually the harbinger of the accidental rom-com. Did you detect him? That was crazy. You didn't watch the end.

What's his name? Wolverine. He's been doing a couple of those and then the Broadway stuff as well. He did a rom-com or two. He was in Kate and Leopold. And I think he's in a rom-com. That is straight up a rom-com. He's from the past.

I mean look, he's no like Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, like mashup but he's up there. Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn are like your fucking creepy skeezy rom-com. Yeah, but they're there. Because everyone wants to make the movie

that the guys are going to enjoy but you still take your lady. Don't even try. Don't even try. No further. The last time I got hoodwinked like that I think it was Run Fat Boy Run where it's like you go in thinking

you think it's going to be a Simon Pegg movie. Yeah, okay, yes it is. And he's in love with money and he's from the New Jane Game. Yeah, totally. And it's not until The Rockin' Bar one. She's kind of got older though.

It's not until At World's End where they pull that one back. It's not just Run Fat Boy Run it's how to make friends or how to lose friends and alienate people. Oh, is that another one? Be honest about your romance guys. Run Fat Boy Run was directed by

David Schwimmer. So that's fucking weird. Interesting. It's the commercials. There's always the rom-com commercial but then there's the comedy version commercial and then the... It's not rom-com but I've mentioned it in the past

I'm going to mention it until one of you knows what I'm talking about. You go off the theatrical trailer for The Talented Mr. Ripley. Oh, they didn't know how to market that thing. Did you see that? Holy shit. I've never seen a bigger lie. What did they do?

The Talented Mr. Ripley is painted as if it's a... So what is that movie? It's Jude Law and Matt Damon Caprio, I think. Whatever. The point is Mr. Ripley he's a talented guy and they painted all these rich white people

and there's the guy with the girl but then the new guy Ripley is like oh that girl though and then it's implied that there's like uh oh, he did just a shady thing and oh, what happened? It's a mystery. I don't want to spoil any part of that. Every part of the description I just gave you was a lie.

Every single fucking part of it. Okay, so like fucking the camera thing is that Ripley is gay. So it has nothing to do with his desire for Gwyneth Paltrow. Yeah, it's something completely different. And it ends up, it's closer to like Hannibal than it is to

like a drama. Yeah, that's pretty far. And it's way... And they were like terrified, it was like well the villain can't be a gay guy who wants to do dudes. People won't go watch it and they were right. People didn't go watch it. Have you seen... Have you seen that like the happy family

movie shining the trailer for that? Or like the what was it? West Side Story as like a violent serial spence thriller. Yeah. Those are good. Yeah. Fuck it, you can turn Dragon Tattoo into the most sappy love story.

If you take the right cuts... No, you take the right cuts and you change the colors a lot. No, the flashback sequences are all shot in like sepia-tappy tone. So just use that. So you use a lot of that you use a lot of like the stark not the farm

area, but like the city area. There's a lot of footage for the lovemaking scene. There's got to be one good shot from the farm. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Anything's all grunge anyway. Anyway. No, but I finally got to I guess the first big twist

and until dawn and oh my god, that fixes everything. That was super good. The first big twist. That one? Yeah. The first big twist. We can talk about that first twist. No, people might not be watching the Elmercast next week. Who's not watching the Elmercast?

Some people will not do a spoiler cast next week. The LP will be completely finished with the end of the podcast. Okay. Well, if I get it, let me beat it. Beat it. It depends on when my girlfriend comes over. Like we were playing it together. Tell her to come over. I'm trying. Anyway. Text her right now. It's a good twist. It's less than half left. Like all the things I was... You're like two-thirds

if you got the Elmercast. The two mild complaints I had last time. God, fucking... I told you, right? I'm evaporating. Yeah, yeah. Because when you were complaining about them slightly like a few weeks ago, we were all by our tongues like, oh, this gets fixed. I know, I know, I know. In fact, the complaint you're having now will make it

better later. So that's solid. I started Undertale and that is a joy and a pleasure. I hear it's a good game. It's hilarious. It's fucking great. More to be said once I'm done. Okay. Isn't that like two seconds? I remember it's five hours. Okay.

I remember Slow Beef just telling me burn down all your other videos. Yeah. Well, thanks, Slow Beef. Slow Beef and 800 other people on the internet. Friends and fans alike. So, you know, took a look and yeah, man. That's got some funny stuff going on.

And I'm finally at a point where I'm comfortable saying I'm done with the Phantom Pain. Finish, finish, finish. Yeah, so I might go back in the future. Yeah, because I'm like, I could get to 100%, but I've seen all the original content that there is to see.

You've done Mission 46, you're all... All of that, right? The special extra missions. Yeah, yeah. I built a nuke. I decommissioned a nuke. Good. I invaded FOBs. I got all in there and out there and saw the whole thing. And yeah, man. Um...

Yep. That's still... That's a video game. That's a video game. Okay, what's your playtime? Oh god, I don't know, dude. It says. Okay. It says. It's inaccurate because I've left it on. Ah, don't do that. Ah, that's the worst. You gotta play it good. This is a game where, no, you're gonna do that.

Ah, I hate that. We're not gonna do that. Well, too bad. No. Or not. I'm just curious. And I've been switching back and forth between the thing, like so frequently that it doesn't make sense to me to turn it off. I'll turn it on, do a mission, put it down, go back, watch a thing, put it back up. I just asked what the playtime was. No, I'm too good because he's like, don't do that.

I'm like, no, not a good reason. Now, everything has to have its proper time slot separately. Ah, fuck it, I'm crazy. Anyway. Yeah, it still sits where I said it did. Which is? I think we had that off-camera. No. No.

So right at the bottom, right? No. It's fourth. What's the fourth of six? I assume you mean console games. Okay. Number titles. And I assume you're rolling ground zero and kind of counting together. I'm not counting portable ops.

I'm not counting piece walker because I didn't play it proper. I just watched the cutscenes. And you're rolling ground zeroes and fan and pain together, I imagine? Yes. I'm rolling them together. And oh my god, does it fix some good shit. Anyway, those being considered one entry,

I say three, one, four, five. Two. Two. Two. Wow. Two's really low. Okay. Two is that low for you? I didn't think it was. It's a four for two. It's a nine. Two is great. But here's the thing.

The main reason why two is that low for me compared to all the rest is because the end of a Metal Gear game is always a bombastic affair. And like the end of one, three, and four in particular are like beyond perfect. The end of two,

I thought was great but nowhere near as good as the... Oh, the end of two is amazing. The end of two is the strongest part. The entire series. I didn't have that feeling on it. But I still enjoyed it, but just compared to the others. Do you remember it?

Of course. Did you get it? You get a sword and you swing it. Yes. I don't like to like a lot. You're fighting the president of the United States in a sword battle. And then the third dude and solidist of all that stuff.

But compared to the things going on in the other three, it didn't hit me as hard. This is the most... We'll actually have to agree to disagree ever. Because that shit blew my mind so much harder. It blew my mind in a way where I remember it took a while for me to digest it.

Because at the time... At the time I was like, what the fuck are you doing? And then I ended it and I was like, that was dumb. And then I was like, wait. And then I went through it and I was like, okay, no, I accept this and I like this.

And then I grew to accept it as opposed to being like... That's the difference is that when it starts to all fall apart and go crazy, that's my favorite thing. I'm looking at it and I go, what? I've grown to appreciate it way more.

It's the same sentence, but with a different tone. Yeah. I swung the other way on that pendulum. Was this game even happening? Yeah. You look inside your disc tray and there's nothing in there. No, like right now I think that Peace Walker and Phantom Pain

are the only two... And Ground Zeroes are the only ones where I would never think of putting them in first, even at all. We haven't finished Phantom Pain. We're still I think a bit less than halfway through. I believe we're just about to reach halfway.

Yeah. But even before I would have a hard time, but definitely those two I wouldn't be able to put them in first. When the ranking is happening, you take the best parts of each game and you stack them up to each other. Oh no, you always stack the worst parts

against the worst parts. You do, you have to. But when I stack the best stuff that happens in Phantom Pain, to me is better than the best stuff in here. That's fair. I believe it. Two's Peaks aren't really like barring the ending and a couple

in the middle here and there. Just think about the general strut without the crazy twists. No, I love that stuff so much. But I'm saying prior to the twist. Listening to Peter Stillman talk for almost an hour about how he's faked

not having a leg for ten years. I'm just like, my eyes are wide open. Ha! It was amazing. Gosh, they're just all so good. They're all so good. I kind of think that Phantom Pain will always be

looked fondly upon and be remembered for the stuff it does. I kind of think Phantom Pain will, like, it has its detractors and people that love it. But it won't be looked upon with as much like, I don't want to say memory. It's a really fantastic video game.

I don't know, it took people a long time to turn around on MGS2. It did. A little longer than I thought. Maybe we'll see the same thing. That's what you're hearing out of me. On just the level of Just Endings, though. Not the main game, Just Endings. Just Ending?

There's like three and then there's a power gap between everything else. It's not even Four's Ending. It's the power gap and then Four's Ending. And then Four's Ending. I like Four's Ending better. I like the end of Snake's Story.

Solid Snake's Story better than the beginning of Jack's Story. It's so good. For me, it's like, For Endings, I'd go for three. Because Four's Ending has so much stupid bullshit in it, too, though.

Because I came out of Four. Microwave Halloween. From that point, to the final credit shot. Before that, when you get in the boat with Mei Ling and you're set it off and you're on your adventure, or the fact that you're watching

the credits and the initial reveal of fucking Big Boss. Voice of God, the Big Boss. It says Richard Doyle and it stays there and you're like, he wasn't in the game. And then it goes on. That feeling was like you had a visit

with your granddad. You had fishing. And then at the end of the day, he died. And you went, goodbye, granddad. And you felt, yeah. But the end of three was just tears.

Babbling fucking tears. Oh, I wasn't crying. I was broken. It was sad. And no other video game disc has ever done that to me. I was only four years old. He didn't understand the problem. I wasn't. So there's something to be said for that satisfying like, yeah, man, Richard.

Three's Ending is amazing. But I was not a husk of a man like I was when fucking Way to Fall starts playing. So here's my problem with Phantom Pain. I'm not that far into it. Well, you can feel it. My biggest problem is something that

Gaming Brit, the review you sent me, brought up, and I think Bunny Hopwood, but I can't look at his review because it's probably smaller. I've got a comment on that, too. Go ahead. Is that Three's Ending is so perfect that even now,

after Peace Walker, after all Ground Zeroes, after Phantom Pain, you needed to be told. It's all implied. There was that straight line from Three to Metal Gear One.

You see the handshake, or lack thereof, and you go, I understand. It's done. And I'm still waiting for the thing that happens that I go, well, okay, now that these games now that matters a lot. But what you're going to get, when you're going to get here, is going to be some good shots.

But except for one part of it. But anyway, the thing that Bunny Hop had to say, I think you guys, I can't watch the video, I can't watch it. So you have a misconception. He's not ripping in a new one.

He really is. He's ripping the abortion of the game a new one. All the things he has to say are 100% true. I agree with him completely. But I still enjoyed what I saw.

He's saying the same things, but his numbers coming out different. That's it. When you watch it, maybe it's just because of Bunny Hop talking, but he's not going on an angry rant. I don't think he has that in him. He's going, this is what's happening.

This is the events occurring, and here's what I think this does to the rest of the canon. I can't argue. I felt that it was true. Both of us know the glaring flaws and amazing highs of four, and both of us agree

that it's placed differently. That's just how Metal Gear is. It's one of the few series where it's really that nebulous. Resident Evil, it's a lot clearer. Everyone knows which order the Resident Evil games go. It's a lot clearer, but Metal Gear's

so consistently. Everybody knows where the Street Fighter's go. Everybody. Are you going to argue with some dude that says, yo, Street Fighter 2? I will, until he says, I mean Super Turbo. Which is why,

when people go, yo, now to, I go, yeah, you know what, you're fine. You're okay in my book. You can't argue that. The OG that says Street Fighter 2 is also right. Yes, he is. I'm not so keen to agree on the Street Fighter thing. I think probably

the core of that is that a guy on Twitter messaged me earlier today and said, hey, are you guys going to listen to the tapes and stop complaining about how there's no story? And I think Liam and I spoke about this after the last recording session. And we were thinking about it.

Yeah, but not in the LP. Those tapes are like 90 seconds long. Even if you added all of the tapes in the entire game. That's like, you probably get like three or four hours. That's one character from Metal Gear Solid 1's

dialogue. There are some long tapes. There are? How long are we talking? There's like a 13 minute tape. How long would you say overall the tapes are? All the tapes combined. All the tapes combined is probably

like five hours. That's like two of your support team from a CODEX. And that's all the story. That's the CODEX side stuff. Like... There's also conversations that are not cassette tape stuff.

There are one more. Let me jump right in there. Whenever I see people go if you don't want one story fuck you. I have been bred on 20 years of Metal Gear games giving lots of drama

through cutscenes and movement and voice acting between two characters. I have been giving two characters for long CODEX sequences and I understand that some of it's in the tapes but as a tell-all solution

to my problem of I miss this it is a shitty to me solution. Yeah. Of being brought up on 20 years like since Metal Gear Solid 1 to now it's... It's a concession to people that don't want to hear the long cutscenes.

It is. I need to give you the character portraits during the tapes that you can listen to. And if you like the cassettes and like the story, I can't say anything about that. Well the cassettes are good. They are but as a replacement for people that really miss...

It's not an adequate replacement. It's just not enough for me. I don't like it when someone... You're right. It's not an adequate replacement. If you want the story it's all in there. And the other... There's... The cassettes

at their greatest strengths do something that Kodak Conversations don't and can't do. Which is moments that have nothing to do with boss being captured. And think about the best part of Ground Zeroes. Right?

You know that. And then what you're getting here is there's similar tapes that you get here that are all like those are the best tapes. Those were bosses. Even the ones with Huey. Those are great.

And those are better than Kodaks. But the ones where it is like this is one way conversation. Replacement are worse. Because in Ground Zeroes when everyone's like oh there's all this cool story in the tapes. And for Ground Zeroes I'm like that's totally awesome.

I was fine. Because in my head I thought that is how they squeeze some extra story but then when it came to me that it was this is the entirety of how it's being done entirety. A fair percentage.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Kojima got a few notes from some of his movie friends that might have said your pacing gets stopped when you have a conversation moment, exposition and then gameplay.

So you're saying you should blame Del Toro. We're not exactly getting there but we do have to blame him for something this week. We'll get there. Anyway, but that'd be a bit of a phantom pain. I'm anxious to see where you guys get to. I'm very anxious to see that as well.

I still think the gameplay is like unparalleled. It's the fucking magic fantasy video game. You're the least wrong you've ever not been wrong. That's one point that the entire internet agrees. There's nothing to say game play.

Over the last week I've seen three Metal Gear fans like Bunny Hop, Gaming Brit Show and one Marin. Does Bunny Hop really like Metal Gear? No. And Marin. You know that Marin. All of them say the same thing.

Man, this gameplay is incredible. Man, there's nothing to gain by doing this gameplay because I'm not getting what I wanted out of the story. So I'm doing this incredible gameplay without what I wanted. When Liam and I beat Afghanistan and I was like, yay, now I can go and play

in Afghanistan and my heart's content and I did one mission and I haven't touched it since. I read your Tumblr post mat as well and the one thing I do have to say is that the stuff that has changed for the worse unfortunately, it's the truth that has changed for the worse

but the experience is still good and continuing on with it it'll make it less sour to you. All the good shits in the latter half. I've been told that there's a huge plot dump and some stuff towards the end and I'm like, well, that's cool.

I wish that could have been paced better the entire game. It's not worth trashing right now. Get to where you got to go. We'll get farther. And I think you'll turn around on a few things but the negatives will remain. Because then I'll jump in

with my reach really, really quickly though. You know one Brock Lesnar? I do know about Brock Lesnar. I understand him a bit better now. Did you just discover that you had a creepy baby voice? Not that yet. I understand why you focus on your upper body

because he has piddly little, girly legs because leg day is the hardest day that I've ever gone through. Every day is leg day. I did my first leg day at the gym and what sucks is that I use my legs. So the next day someone else complained like

I can't move. My nipples are sore. Who cares? Leg day is fucked up. Props to you Brock Lesnar. Anyway, I hate it. I am now making up excuses to the trainer.

The trainer, I'm like, oh man. Doesn't the trainer know about this show? No, no, no, no. This is a guy. I can lie to him. I can't work on my knee. It's because it's so tough. Anyway, jumping

into after that metal gear. I don't want to say this. I take no pleasure in this but I'm struggling to keep doing missions. I'm not having fun doing these missions. The gameplay is still great but as I'm playing and I'm like

I'm doing the same things over and over and over. That side-off variety, the front-loaded it the way they did. You get the more... You unlock different missions towards the end of it and it's like you really should have spread it out. I know that's the problem but

it's so... It's just difficult to wrap my head in because I barely even touched upon in that Tumblr post that you read. Why did it have to even be like this? Why did they make it like this? There's not a lot of advantages

in being open world rather than the novelty of hey it's an open world metal gear and you're free to do what you want. When it's not portable anymore you don't need to have that. Portable? Holy shit. That makes so much sense to me. Having the bite-sized missions and being like that

it totally makes sense to me but for a console mainline game it's not what I like doing. It's a momentum breaker. It's kind of a momentum breaker but I'll leave it at that. I still want to get towards the end and see anything of where I place it in right now

but that's all I'll really say. But I did something that really you'll be interested in. Remember a good night mommy that creepy trailer Austrian movie that I saw that we had playing at the forum right across from there.

So remember what we talked about. Talented Mr. Ripley. You know what another trailer that super lied? Because it super lied to you. Because that trailer already lies around. Crazy twists. It's not. It paints

a picture of a creepy maybe potentially supernatural thing happening and it's more of a But then it hints at more at the end of the trailer. It does hint at more but it's still a trailer that's like well there's a lot of this creepy imagery in it but that creepy imagery there's a context

for why it's in there. Go check out that trailer guys it's really good. It's super creepy. But there are things that happen in that trailer that are difficult to explain away. It's actually quite easy. When you watch I go oh that's why that was used in the trailer. Because it looks creepy

but it actually whatever it's just for people that don't know it's a mom and she comes home from surgery or something she has two sons and something's amiss and the entire movie takes place in one location. Like the fucking end of the trailer they dress up like natives and burn the

house down with sticks. Like how can that possibly be? How can you handle that? Mommy comes home with a bandage on her face. Anyway it was super interesting and I liked it

but it wasn't like oh okay it's this type of thing. It's the type of it's the type of movie that makes me think of home invasion movies where it's like there's killers loose. This isn't the plot of this movie but it's like there's a tense situation

happening in this location and that's the movie. The Panic Room. It's kind of like The Panic Room or something like that and I recommend it. It's not going to be easily seen by a lot of people because it's a weird foreign movie. It's Austrian. It's not I recommend you fly out so much and go to the

AMC forums. Yeah exactly. Kitty theater. Terrible theater. I hate that theater. Me too. It's got the love seats. It does. I hate parts of it other parts I like. It's too big for the amount of people that are in there. It can't get those love seats.

You got a movie there with like two in the afternoon on a Monday. It's also got like eight of my friends working there. So you know. On the flip side you can clean up the You mean did I make it worse? Yeah. We don't clean here.

Just that's the spot over there for you people. On the flip side we talked about it a few weeks ago. I saw M Night Shyamalan's new movie The Visit which was a horror movie and was pretty darn good actually.

What the hell? What was it about? It was hey you never met your grandparents because I've been estranged from your grandparents why don't you go for a visit for a week and old people are the scariest. It's true they are. And it's a found footage movie

like every found footage movie what's your reason what's your reason for it being a found footage movie? Because if it's let's film and then there's no explanation we'll fuck you. You gotta film the last days of grandpa's life.

The girl that's in this brother girl pair that go visit their grandparents I'm an aspiring documentary person and this is a huge cathartic situation we're going to go visit the parents and she has her computer

and her laptop and she's got final cut there that's fine Fair enough that's what she's working on that sort of thing it's still not great because there's situations where I'm like why would you be recording this but a lot of the times you don't need to show the catheter bag

you don't but sometimes you do also old people very scary because I was there's some scenes where I'm like there's actually a last scene it's very very harsh especially kids being involved and when I said hey I watched the visit

and people are like ho ho ho how about like this with no context given it means nothing but I was like oh yeah I forgot about that part anyway very very harsh like actually like wow you're going for it am I? The trees are killing us

Was it good in a way that smelled like desperation like I have to make this bring me my career back I can't name something that's good but feels like that that's a very weird that's a very weird sentiment

because I don't find like movies where a comedian comes and does a serious role after they've been taking for a while true detective feels like that some spots

a punch drunk love love something like that guess what there's a twist in this movie this twist doesn't try to be come to the back of the boat there it is the twist doesn't try to be anything amazing

it's a nice twist but it didn't seem to be like I have to one up every twist the first time that's what like the village and happenings twists are like he tried to go too far and they're absurd yeah this one's fine actually one part that I didn't like about is that

after the movies done and it's quite harsh and then the ending of it is very emotionally like whoa that is kind of heavy then the credits start rolling and then the kid in this movie the brother and sister the brother in the movie he's established I'm a white kid and I love hip hop and he raps here and there

in the movie like whatever and they have a really harsh emotional tone and then I feel like I'm like oh it's too harsh this is too heavy so during the credits the kid comes back in a funny post credits scene and he raps

and he's good at it but I was like I feel like someone said oh people are going to go out of the theater going I don't like this it made me feel things and they're harsh so put this kid over it mugging it up

so you'll leave with a smile like you know what is it it's like predator predator everyone dies they're never spoilers except for Owen Schwarzenegger and then during the credits they go hey here's an action shot of someone smiling at the camera going

yeah I did it you know it's kind of like that did you figure out who the devil in the elevator was you do the dance number you turn the page and guts and Ricard are having a nice breakfast yeah basically and

I guess going on predator I saw a comic book series that people have told me about in the store and I went they're all here I'll buy them all and it's this saga that's called fire and stone that Dark Horse put out it's called fire and stone the first volume is Prometheus fire and stone

aliens fire and stone AVP and fire and stone just predator and it's actually really really interesting and that it's a continuation top building is fire and stone yeah it starts with a sequel to Prometheus going

what the fuck happened let's go check out what happened to their thing what the Prometheus did so another team goes down there and they're like okay so what are we doing and then you see the continuation of what would happen on that planet at the end of Prometheus

and then it springs off there into connecting into aliens the the movie and gets Prometheus in there as well then AVP is just nuts because I don't want to go into it but the only thing you have to think about

is what would be the interconnecting factor out of all these species is the black fucking goo what happens if this black goo goes on that thing or that thing and that's the interconnecting thing where the goo kind of gets that's not canon though

the timing of this release is pretty spot on because you're not going to have Dark Horse already wrote like 20 years ago the reason the aliens and predators are like it's because they're from the same planet well just two scripts are about to drop that'll retcon the shit out of whatever you just read because what I read

what I read I'm just finishing off I'm just finishing off the predator Ridley Scott is burning it as you read it Ridley who? I'm just finishing off the predator thing and I actually think this stuff is really really good actually the aliens one is particularly strong

and it's a different writer each time they're all like they're all solid to great I was just like there's one thing where it's just like two characters are talking a lot over like a war that's happening back on me this is even an odd place to talk about life and the meaning of the universe

but it's still interesting like what if the black goo goes on David the android nothing we already saw that no he didn't no he holds in his hand in Prometheus no he didn't get injected into him

he has it on his fingertip he's looking at it not go on but inject well considering he's purely mechanical the answer should be nothing he's not life so yeah what he turns into a monster

you don't know what the black goo can do nothing should happen but something well I know his space changes so slightly that you don't have to use the likeness that's for the man even ash or bishop are like not but you're talking about a movie that gave

no answers to questions in itself posed Ridley Scott really fucked it up because everything we've talked about for the entire Aliens franchise since Prometheus came out is how do we fix Prometheus and kind of a good answer just erase it

that works for me go read the art book and put the shit that no but it's like put the shit in the movie back in fix the shit you change that's always the answer and then the blu-ray made it worse it's gonna get real confusing when

resurrection and three get retconned out to hell we'll touch back on to this it was actually a really solid read and if you guys ever want I can just pass it to you because I thought there's some cool stuff going on in here and it uses characters is that that sassy black lady from AVP

no there's a sassy white guy no it's not quite the same there's a scummy asshole that's in the entire series he's always in a bit you see him going fuck you

and drive off and then the next comic starts with him like yeah I fucked everyone over I don't care these people are dead can you apply the word sass to like white guy he's acting like a sassy black woman but he's gotta be

he's gotta be doing the play black people that own sass they're just really sass absolutely and when you put the stereotypes on and stuff you get a plus one on your character that pharmaceutical CEO douchebag

you need to be at least this sass to say that that pharmaceutical CEO douchebag guy he's just being real sassy and yeah I'm also playing Undertale and it's it's joy in a bottle and that's all I'll have to say would you say it's lightning in a bottle

if the guy does a second game it's only by one guy so if he does a second game and it's just a good game I've never laughed harder I am also playing Undertale that's crazy that both of you are playing Undertale we are at a similar distance in the game I like it a lot

I hope it really ramps up because I like it a lot but it really has to stick that people are telling me that it does get better oh I heard exactly because you see the gimmick and you're like this is funny but yeah no exactly so like two arcs

in or whatever and it's like yeah it's real good so far but yeah um this week let's take a quick read from our sponsor always yo pat grab that loot crate it's in my fucking hands woolly is there anything inside

oh shit this is my lootcrate you can always summon the next one lootcrate.com promo code is super best thanks lootcrate this week I was catching up on

corpse party book of shadows was that the one on the beach? no is that the one that just came out? so the new one comes out on the 13th of october this is the second one for the psp after the first one

you have whatever characters survive a romp is ember island prayers a teen sex romp is ember island prayers until dawn I know what you did last summer but that's the horror variant a bunch of teens

around each other and being hot you know like corgore is not a romp well there isn't one of them that is a teen sex romp no not at all like you want to categorize hatred as being a teen sex romp the reason I asked

is because pooper buttering it was a gag line even in the first place it's come to define it so yeah the first game takes place in this haunted well haunted it's way more haunted

it's real bad and at the end a handful of characters survive the second game takes place after it and it picks up right out of the gates where you're hanging out with one of your buddies and you're like didn't you die in that school like didn't you not make it out alive

and then eventually stuff plays out and you end up getting pulled back into the school and you're trying to undo events that would have happened and stuff and it's a really interesting retread of it it's a different genre really it's not like a top down

so the first one is grid based roots of RPG maker and such the second one is a visual novel where you can open up a map and go to places in the school but it's the same map that actually sounds like I would enjoy that a lot more than the first one

kind of and that's kind of how it goes and I'm really interested and it's really fun and stuff changing in ways where I'm like where is this gonna go now because I already know how it was supposed to end but we did a thing and I hope I can finish that in time for the 15th

I think I will it's super good I think you guys should try it because you like it I don't know if you like horror things I'm gonna need to go back and play corpse hardy 1 because if it's a time travel beat the events shit oh yeah you can't go 2 to 1

and like playing the third game would be tricky that's also a PSP game that's playable on Vita and VitaTV right yeah absolutely they're supposed to be on sale next week I don't want to get into corpse party and then perhaps 2 and maybe the third one if you're feeling daring I think they're supposed to be on sale next week

so if you're interested I'm gonna throw your own completely right joke in your face like hey woolly I'm looking to get into street fighter yeah where should I start at 1 at 1

for about a minute I played a handful of other games just going back to old stuff but nothing really of note but the other thing is I know this is not the kickstarter section of the podcast what we actually don't have one this week oh well that's a shame because there's a huge kickstarter

going on right now so there's a kickstarter up right now for the mauve love trilogy to be localized into English and this trilogy woolly is the definition of goes to space so in the first game

mauve love is like a regular whatever yeah go on the first game is like it feels like that high school like dating whatever thing and then eventually in the second game it's like okay no war is happening

and then in the third game it's like okay no space war is happening and this game this game goes to mech places this game goes to every places I don't want to spoil it for people who don't know like when you say yeah I have seen mech pictures

everyone has that's the one thing I know about it is that there's mech involved and that's about all I got so yeah they're working on localizing this right now and you can look at the amounts it's a smashing success right now what are they at right now

they're at 442k 250 with like an only five days of past so they're killing it but yeah wanna show this cause it's like an awesome game definitely worth playing at some point if you're interested in a crazy story that does go to

space it's not cheap though cause you are paying for three games so it's like $60 for all three which is like 20 bucks a piece but for some people that is a lot but you can testify that they're good not just me look at the amount of money that's getting

that's for a reason I was worried that it was cause I was following it on Prefundia you know that website for people to put up their Kickstarter campaigns before the campaign it's a site so you can just start getting interest around

exactly I was following it on that and I was really worried that it would just kind of come out and just like face plant I didn't think it would take off to this level I didn't think there was this many people keen on it but low and behold there's that billions

that's an interesting idea test the waters Kickstarter page yeah basically there's no money involved none of that just like hey sign up and we'll notify you when we're good and you get a little notification and we're good now so yeah check that out really cool check out Corpse Party real cool

otherwise I'm excited for dancing all night which showed up in my doorstep this morning but I did not have a minute to play it so is that out digitally or tomorrow right? Tuesday then I will buy that on my Vita TV and turn that Vita TV on for the first time in forever you should play it

you can play anything on your Vita TV oh I don't even need to do that man here you talk about that Kickstarter stuff it's total bummer it's not part of my week but like do you see the unsung story and Project Phoenix are both of those projects I backed I think you backed them as well

absolutely so for unsung story for unsung story I'm still just going to hang on until we see something because there's not enough information for Project Phoenix the only thing I'll say is we know that they spent $200 but they still have $750

yeah so I forget which one it is I believe it's one of them said okay one of the problems we listed in our was missing the program that was Project Phoenix guess what the programmer we wanted to get

we didn't get him so the whole thing's basically on hold until we can get that guy you know I'm still I put a scathing comment on their Kickstarter a few weeks ago actually but I'm still like now they've said

we still have $750k of the million it's like okay okay you're not sorry explain this what's happening so the Project Phoenix one is kind of it's not sputtering so much as it feels like it still hasn't even gotten off the ground neither of them have gone anywhere the entire time

like year plus they put off like a little like demo of it and it just doesn't even look great it doesn't look particularly interesting though in their defense it is exactly what they described and for Unsung Story I don't think there's been anything

they've shown nothing has there been updates there's been updates for Unsung Story they were really slow not really like there have been updates but nothing that of substance except for the one from Phoenix that was like guys this is the worst thing that could happen

they put out a really comprehensive one for Project Phoenix that was like this is where we're at for everything in the game in percentages and numbers so it's just kickstarter games they get grouped together because they're both the bigger and these are Japanese both of them

well one wants to be Japanese but it's actually western but it feels like these are the first two Kickstarter games that I personally back that there's a relatively high chance that one or both are just not going to come out well no actually the thing about Unsung Story

is they're releasing their multiplayer beta very soon they confirmed that didn't they I believe they did but that's not the no I know but when I hear that that's always the one where like it's coming you know these things they take time

and I'm not saying they haven't taken a long time for sure but like it's been what a year it takes a long time but I think one of them has passed their release date and is still like hasn't shown the game and honestly I'm frustrated at how

much these two run together in my mind because they both they both showed up around the same time a similar time within a few months and they both had similar pitches and like I can't tell the difference between either of them and I back them so I feel stupid

but I've been doing like adult responsible things with some of my weeks no I have I was just texting somebody about it just now hey I'm doing adult responsible things right now that'll come up later if anything goes well

I'm talking about business business so I'm gonna skim over this as fast as possible I played a lot of Final Fantasy and in what is the most disgusting deaths of

I'm so remember when I started playing it and you were like oh you're in oh god so there's something interesting that happens to MMOs that doesn't really happen in other games it doesn't happen to fighting games it's the best analogy here so they recently came out and did a show

and said okay so that big content patch 3.1 everyone was expecting them to announce it for this week it got announced for the first week of November the next night you just see all the cities empty out and you see

people in your free company going put me on vacation I'm cancelling myself for a month and you go from having like 250 people online every day like hey who wants to run that down to 35 and guess what it gets really hard to run hard bosses

when you have a pool of 35 people yeah some of which are not very good so what do you do I still want to play it but I can't fucking I'll just spend the time and I'll start crafting and mining and all that shit

time to make new accounts on other computers so you can artificially fill your party that's the great time for the real fun which is hitting rocks hitting rocks all day I've been hitting rocks all week I actually enjoy hitting rocks but fuck that

you know what you do when you hit rocks TNG that's why you're getting those I came out of Pat's place and he's like hey I think my internet should be fine but I'm not torrenting anything I would never torrent anything

he saw my totally legal downloads of TNG which are large there's like 500 gigs dude you're in torrenting no no no it's my totally legal cool downloads anyway

so those first two seasons man this is the first time I've gotten to them in the modern era I watched it again like 10 years ago holy shit I finally get to see what's happening in those first two seasons they're trying to make the original series

again it's so cheap it's cheap it's fucking cheap and in the blu-ray restoration you get to see like holy shit the quality is terrible they lost a bunch of the mic data so they'll be

panning it and like Riker's dubbed because he's too far in the back so they dubbed him you know those first two seasons they have so many away missions on like the worst sets ever like it's

literally a soundstage with some fog that a fog machine is pumping and then they stop it and they're like no just have it happen a lot on the Enterprise there's a quality to it that I don't know what it is but it's like the original series you have to watch

for TNG you have to watch it as well but it's also background-able in a way that the original series isn't I don't know there's less fights you can kind of just listen but like everything about those first two seasons or season one in particular

like Jordy's not the chief engineer I hate how everyone's colors are wrong everyone's colors are not wharfs make up wharfs were in red and my face fucking exploded wharfs make up in season one is fucking terrible

and it's not much better in season two so you get to season three and what happens the uniforms change and they get the padded shoulders and the collar the half inch collar and all of a sudden everyone looks great instead of looking like they're wearing pajamas Roddenberry starts to get ill

around the beginning of season three no longer the lead writer episode I was watching today remember that episode where they go to the planet and those fucking racist-ass Irish drunks come up with all their animals and then they go to the clone planet and the clone planet steals their clones

and they're like why don't the Irish fucks with too many babies go live with you fucking weirdo clone people yeah guess what they're terrible are they written by Rick Berman they're fucking terrible what's with all these wrecks but in watching this

I was reminded of what I believe to be the absolute worst Star Trek episode of all time which is that it's not the one where Janeway and Paris get turned into lizards and fuck and have lizard babies it's not the one where Jordy

has like a creepy holodeck wife and then the girl and then the girl finds out about it and she's like uh uh it's not like the series finale of deep space nine which is terrible it's an episode called pen pals

and it's an episode in which data they're going into some part of the galaxy where all these planets are exploding and data hears a little girl with her radio and she says help hey anybody out there and he starts a fucking pen pal relationship that's a month long and then they get all prime directory

because her plan is going to explode and it's like but my friend though and they have the worst moment in Star Trek in which they all sit around in a fucking room smelling their own fucking farts going with Ryker going maybe it's the height of hubris if there's a cosmic plan

that we just let this planet explode and all these people die and they all just go well with a prime directive though are we supposed to fucking Picardi goes well what if it's a geological disaster should we save them and no one says anything but it's implied yes

what about a disease and you go well maybe what if it's a war and you go well no and then he goes like see how hard it is no it's super easy their planet's just going to blow the volcanoes and you're all just going like well you can't interfere with the planet right

they constantly interfere all the time on planets in season one Wesley trips over that fucking fence yeah on that planet on Hitler sex planet and then they're like we're going to fucking kill Wesley right now and he's like I can't let you do that

and then everyone's like what about the prime directive he's like well for Wesley I gotta make an exception because he's my friend so you'll save fucking Wesley after he goes to some planet and breaks all their laws on the perfect sex planet you won't save this whole planet from

it's terrible it's like is that a season where Wesley was in uniform and he's wearing his fucking Christmas Gansi this fucking Christmas sweater the fucking great thing that looks like he's wearing a Christmas fucking sweater and here's the fun part that you only realize

when you watch all the seasons in a row not like syndicated Wesley's only in season one and two now he comes back he comes back in season seven for one episode because he went with the traveler in season seven

where most of you don't remember this to get bad out there in the episode in which Picard goes to the Native American planet the United Federation of Planets gave to all the Native Americans as a sorry we're bad

and then Picard's like oh it's too close to the neutral zone we gotta move them all off and they're like naw and then Wesley's like a huge traitor and he screams at him and then Wesley goes off to fucking space with light speed traveler whatever and then in that episode

I think the game they get addicted to that fucking game dude those first two seasons are so fucking bad they're so bad why can't they make up their mind about what Deanna wears

she changes costumes like four times and that one captain says yo this thing's too fucking sexy where the fucking blue medical thinks because you are getting psychological help so you are medical so you find out when you watch these things

in a row you discover things like shut up wharf are you guys familiar with that yeah yeah there's a video there's a video every time wharf ever suggested anything in the entire series

they always told him to shut up shut up wharf every single time and then in the end he is never listened to a single time and you also discovered that Deanna Troy exists so that the screenwriter can say

can add fake tension because in a totally normal situation where you have to write it instead she goes I feel I feel something and the worst part is is her race the betazoids

they're full on 100% so she's a half beta said so that she can only get so she can't go to I feel it I feel it if anything she's a huge problem

get a full betazoid why would you ever go for that so many of those episodes are terrible the first episode of season 2 is the one where she gets space pregnant like Jesus no that only happened the one time

or people want to get her pregnant a lot of people want to get her pregnant and that fucking horrible episode with that peace talker who has the three people that speak for him and they get blown up and he's doing sign language like how will ever do the peace

so yeah just no sense of continuity in my brain because it was just catch whatever is on ABC 22 here's the best piece of continuity where you get to see where the Borg actually happened and where they came from and they came from a huge writing failure so in season 1

and you've all seen this episode because it's the best the second and last episode of season 1 is where you find out that the federation conspiracy subplot is those fucking worm things that are eating into people's brains and they're super strong and you remember they blow up that fucking commander

at the end Renek and it's incredibly gory they explode his chest and his head explodes and then a huge monster comes out of his chest and they blow it away so that was supposed to be the threat forever for like the ongoing number one threat

of everything and so that episode ends with like and then they sent out a message in a deep space and what happened and then a couple episodes later they go to the uterus and I was like oh the the colonies have gotten all the scooped out what could do this and then in season 2 they finally commit to it

it's like no it was the Borg they just dropped that spotlight they wanted some super alien other and it was going to be the parasites and then they said Borg we're going to do Borg do you know why they got rid of Crusher

for two seasons for no reason and then they replaced her with that old old old lady? she's in the first episode and she's nearly immediately replaced by Pulaski who's the old lady and then she comes back full time in season 3 do you know why that happened? because Crusher the actress had

real problems with the writers at the time he says you write all our women characters horribly and I hate it she's right and it's true so then they go fuck you we can replace you we can't replace the writer so they just replace her with the old lady Pulaski who then

she just goes away and Crusher is back and she never has a send off episode because then they finally actually fired that writer and then he said well we actually value her a lot better because all the other women complained

so they got rid of that writer and then she came back Troy is not a great character but her character dramatically improves in season 3 this is the second time you started watching CNG on the podcast you find new things every time now here's my question

have you ever watched Enterprise like once? never I watched one episode of Enterprise I walked by and dad was watching it on tv and it was the episode in which they ran into the proto-borg

and like every part of my brain started to scream how none of that made any sense at all maybe you should just watch it maybe I should just watch it the ending makes it all make sense you know the ending of I do know the ending of Enterprise

that's what it deserves the ending of the first season of Enterprise is like one of the most offensive shock twists ever in which it discovers that like blue aliens had actually

time traveled back in time and then were the genesis for Hitler's rise to power oh yeah they go back in time to fight space Nazis for multiple episodes now to be fair that's a strong threat that's a strong threat you know Cork

you must remember Cork for CSI he's the first Ferengi to ever have a line in Star Trek in episode 5 of TNG he's the guy they need to add on the planet the actor he's the first guy they run into let's have a good Ferengi character

they went all the way back I recognize that guy's voice he's a career actor he's some guy so a year from now again maybe I'll rewatch Voyager first you might often be thinking about

like a few months ago I did the same thing you started watching yeah I remember oh also when I got to refinished it's done for it it ends as like well we're going to next year high school so it will continue

I had spoke to several people who could not watch it the final episode I was too scared of what was going to happen just watch it trust me on this it probably all works out in the end

and you'll be really happy that you watched it very much are you describing Berserk or a fucking I'm describing all the romance anime Berserk what happened nothing everything's fine

everything worked out for the best what the hell is that dude doing he's 21 that show's alright that show's great I started losing interest around episode like 17 too sweet for you

no nothing was happening oh they're together oh there's they're together am I good enough arc that has to happen after they're already together I've seen it before I'm watching reruns

nothing's happening I don't want to bring it back but I'm playing Metal Gear I thought you were going to say adventure time I mean it's a good show it's really good actually I've tried to get into other ones in previous seasons

and I wouldn't even get that far usually I brought it up last week but the reason why I ended up watching all of Karakano was because my friend was like do you want to see what Hidiakiano did after Evangelion I was like yeah

he knew what he wanted he knew what he wanted it was a happy good time man that's not my week that's what happens in Star Trek a lot of hitting rocks that happens every now and then more often than you'd expect

or that canister falls on Worf something that I found out that you guys were talking about Destiny over the last couple weeks and there was a moment where we were talking about the new content and you mentioned how

the new stuff with the Peter Dinklage robot okay did you mention at the time that he got replaced did he got replaced? did he got replaced? okay I remember hearing like

those lines are all fixed now and they're better didn't remember hearing that it was a different actor I thought he was recording and the reason was that of course he wanted to go with Peter Dinklage again because everyone loves him so much but he had scheduling conflicts

at which point what did you think was going to happen so we got the voice actor equivalent of a Band-Aid to come in in all fairness he did it better and that I have a link what I mean is that

there were no scheduling conflicts you just didn't want to use them again because nobody liked them so you brought in a Band-Aid because voice acting isn't always the same as acting and that like leads into that whole fucking performance matters performance matters thing where long story short

we'll get into details but like voice actors and motion capture actors are like yo stop fucking us we're going to make a union because I wasn't too sure what this was and then I did some, I looked into it a bit and the gist of the story is really that the contracts that voice actors

signed for video games haven't changed since like the mid 90s and it's why a lot of voice actors had different names they had different James Flinders he's credited to get around

there's all kinds of weird stuff that goes on but the biggest the big ones are really that obviously they're not treated the same as actors in a movie they're an afterthought there have been statements from companies that have basically understated the importance of voice acting

Konami, Jim position this week is literally and one of those things is like Konami has the balls to come out repeatedly and say the voice actors don't matter here's a press release of them showing off that they got a key for Sutherland and in many cases where obviously

it's different from recording something in 1996 nowadays you get it to the set and they're like good put on the mocap scene and you're like but I'm a booth actor I don't do that shit they're like well you're fired you shouldn't have signed up for the game they didn't draw a line between them

this game is 90 hours long versus a game in 96 which might have been 6 hours long and that was a big one and with over 25 minutes of live action cut scenes don't forget the DLC big parts of it are about exposing limits on how much voice actors

can record requirements on being clear on whether they have to do mocap or not just making a distinction between the jobs as separate jobs they are totally different jobs you don't even need to think about it

Troy Baker and all North jump to mind as accomplished voice actors and accomplished motion capture artists but not everyone can do both some people have wild strengths in one other Melissa Hutchinson is a good example she could not have done the mocap

for god damn clementine she's an adult lady and one of the other things is about getting small royalties for hitting sales milestones on games which is like yeah that's fair which is exactly what happens in other media like the Konami thing with Guy Seehe

and all the Silent Hill actors for decades was our deal say royalties and Konami would go like wasn't it Grand Theft Auto 4 where the voice actor was like this made a bajillion-gatillion dollars and I got nothing

I didn't get paid shit because it's basically like voice actors through in video games they're treated more like staff than they're treated like actors on this project so yeah the guild the unions they all strike one on strike

and performance matters is the hashtag like being shared by many voice actors it's a totally legit story I'm very interested to see what happens because this is the kind of thing do you remember what happened in the movies when the writers guild went on strike

movies got shitty for like a whole year we got Dr. Horrible out of that though yeah are we just going to see an entire calendar year of games that just have the worst voice acting ever

because they're all going to like scabs and first-timers I really can't feel my body right now yeah Sterling uses that to go high cause it's the worst like yeah it's the worst

I don't know I wouldn't mind a year of that not one year or the large circle that fucking has to be the life cycle that must be protected that's the best I'm very interested in seeing what happens this is one of those inevitable things

that will happen for our industry what I'm more interested though is not this it's like is this going to push like the games business to properly unionize well guess what though this is different in the sense that one like the movie situation here we have like with movies

you've got like five giant studios and multiple production companies underneath that and with video games it's like an infinite number of studios and production companies so like you're going to see restitution but you're going to see it like slowly starting

in one company and working to then you're going to start to see shit where it's like are you part of the what was it called the guild for voice acting voice actor or skilled or what have you and they're going to be like if you don't work if you don't work with Vash

then we'll blacklist you in the future big company and then like that'll be the dark era there's problems that can happen and there's a couple things in their demands that aren't great Jim Sterling mentioned one it's like they said that the super goal is to have the union

and the guild and all that and you can't hire your own staff you got to hire out of the voice acting school that's teamsters that's like I can't build my own deck well that's like Nintendo of America for a long time has been using their localization staff

as voice actors I'm like arbitrarily saying all of a sudden you can't do that the real thing is like indie devs would get slaughtered by that they just can't even afford it that's the same as independent film where they just get around

they just say fuck it and nobody really cares was MGS 1 the first game that credited the voice actors at the beginning of the game it credits them with the wrong names some of the names are right though

some of them are right David Hader was correct I think it's the first one to my knowledge yes because no PC games that I can think of that had no voice actors Half-Life 1 was the first PC game to my knowledge

to do credits but that was development staff I remember Fate of Atlantis has an opening credits crawl also maybe but I can't remember if they have the voice actors do you mean just properly as in always at the front because I'm pretty sure other games most accredited voice actors

he means open at the beginning of the game like a movie would like a movie would when I first saw that game running at a friend's house I went it's a movie like it blew your mind before I even seen the game

sitting in the back of church one Saturday my friend told me the whole story while I was just like I don't understand what you're saying how is this a video game and he's telling me about the conversations and stuff and I'm like that's not a game like you're lying

that is the created thing that's made up but to continue talking about movies good luck to those folks I hope they get the most of their demands and it works out well for everybody it works out well for everybody but if they get a bunch of their demands

quality of voice acting will likely increase let's begin the God Blights Liam segment of the podcast it doesn't happen too often the last one was type zero we're going to start with the saddening of the world

that comes from Guillermo del Toro's twitter can I set this up because this made me want to kill myself twice that's the I got special and people that know it's like they got it special the phrase that I saw that hit me first

was that Ito was going to work on Silent Hills and my brain went Masahiro Ito the creature designer from Silent Hill oh my god that'd be amazing and then I clicked the link the inferior designer

the inferior Ito and then I clicked the link and I was like no it was going to be Jujito just way better twice in like 10 seconds like why'd you even open your mouth Guillermo why'd you do this

shut up I was so upset and then I thought about it a little bit and I was like man Jujito's last book sucked maybe I'm not as upset and that tweet led me on to believe but like

it was worse it sucks I tried rereading it fragments of horror I tried rereading it yesterday and I was like man this is his worst work design and story wise I'm still torn because there's still the chance it could have been his best work ever

but not quite as torn as the initial read in we don't need this trend going onward into the future with like also Platinum was signed on to do some work on it and we're going to sign the boss fight like what was this project

like we had Silo Hills she was going to do the music Silo Hills was to contain the remainder of Berserk like what I think a person that worked on this stuff says these things to

yeah not piss people off but go yeah rally even more behind it and maybe it'll come out that's the only reason I could see that ruins your dad I hope man if they are able to you know everyone's been talking about it

hopefully they can come together and make something happen hopefully they just make a fucking horror game by themselves like if they can get Junji Ito and if he can deliver like his best work or like equivalent like it'd be the scariest fucking thing in the world we're getting concept art done by the Vagabond guy just like

fucking add to the list it's the way I hate that every frame of the game is drawn by the Vagabond guy with Junji Ito over his shoulder every possibility I can understand like being part of that process and wanting to be like guys that would have been the greatest

yeah of course you win things by playing like vanilla where I was going to do some cut scenes come on what do you how are we supposed to feel Guillermo what do you want from Mons of course he just wants us to feel as sad as he does

like like in that there's so few games that I feel like hit that like perfect grouping like it would be like if Yoko Taro had tweeted like oh the second the near sequel was cancelled oh and Platinum was doing the gameplay

like later they tweaked that out yeah exactly like it's that kind of thing oh my god dude there's so few perfect team ups that ever happen that like when it does happen you're like you're gonna drag Hitchcock Skeleton and have him direct

this cancelled Metal Gear game was actually gonna be a side story about Cyborg Riding in the future oh my god also it was gonna be made by Platinum and here's an unreleased soundtrack from the fucking games

now when you put out that statement it says we can do Metal Gear without Kojima and it just hit me because I've been very dismissive of that like these fucking bullshit it just no that's canon that's part of the main series but that's Platinum it's different

and Kojima signed off he was on that team shut up it hit me what game it would have to be and there is one there's multiple there's many and it's the would be MGS5 from like six seven years ago the in between Riding in Revengeance

no where it's the boss in World War 2 no I don't want to go there there's so many other places Kojima might not have anyone else would but I don't even like but like Pat said earlier I don't even think we it's too cool of a concept you can't do it

there's so many other places to go before here's what you can do it could probably fix the Cobra Unit yeah man I could but add sacrifice to the joy and I it's just there's almost no chance you could ever this Cobra Unit is perfect

yeah the Fury oof Fury's great dude I don't think so there's a lot of obvious ones like Rising 2 for example and then like I can't say anything

I'm not even going to list them but like you could remake all the other games you could just remake them on the Fox engine Platinum Staffer reveals Activision cancelled their Spider-Man game wait is that real that's not oh sorry there's Spider-Gwen game there we go

I'm like Spider-Gwen like and you could do like Acid 3 and stuff like there's other places to go you could not though you could but you shouldn't I think they should you guys didn't even play though this will alright actually

I don't know the last time I read about it they did poorly they already told me to say they did two games by Nintendo sure but I read the last time that they sold poorly Ghost and Babel 2 before Acid 3 that's what I say

so and then continuing Liam's Blights we have I fear Konami's name on the Ogath now well there's some bad news for you this week are you at the point now where when you see the word Konami you you just you're like uh oh something bad's going to happen

pull the lever pull the lever Jesus Cha-ching Cha-ching anyway does this have to do with Sony in person yeah it does, guess what

the climate's not healthy so yeah I want to preface this so yeah it was at EGX and someone asked Shirei Yoshida like hey Vita 2 when's it happening and he goes on and he he basically heavily infers that there's no Vita 2 nah man probably not

I see a lot of people saying Liam on Suicide Watch and all I'm going to say is anyone who thought there was going to be a second one after spring of 2014 was crazy doesn't it suck to get some confirmation though still not con I mean it sucks but it's like

anyone like I knew everyone who knew you felt it the only hand held flame left becomes Nintendo so let's hope they hammer it and the next one it's not fading

pull the lever maybe they'll invest in a device that'll match the PSP you know what I mean and in our next generation if we're lucky they'll surpass the PSP a hand held to surpass the PlayStation but yeah and then

the reasons why I listed it is because of the huge dominance of mobile gaming like they're not even wrong like there's so many reasons that like it didn't go great and I could like talk for an hour I could talk for hours about it but like the main reason is it's because the system was bad

and the games were bad and the developers were lazy when they made Vita games basically that's uh for put the worm on the hook I don't think I've seen such like a devastating

blow to a platform from its first year like the Vita's first year was so bad it was really bad just in terms of performance and in terms of third parties jumping on and stuff it felt like a hand held to Wii U

not as bad as the real Wii U the performance was so bad in the first year like there was no recovery to be made and like a lot of people say well Sony should have just made more games but you look at the sales of the games didn't matter you didn't matter how many games you threw at it should have had side talking

soul sacrifices month one sales matched kill zones and they were 46,000 like it's pathetic it says there's 46,000 people out there like you and me that were buying those games plus you're going hey it's the successor to the PSP

and then the question is can I hack it it's so better than the 3DS has I'm not even a huge PSP fan but it was a success hack PSP is the greatest hand held what I mean is that you're hot off the heels of not the biggest

like you're already like your expectations are going to be this high Monster Hunter could have saved it that's the only thing and it wouldn't have saved it in the west remember that guy he used to surround wrap his PSP for protection

for sex was that feelings no that was an emotion feelings I said feelings he says emotions we know who we're talking about it's a bummer but until it actually dies

they're going to release a firmware update that bricks it on purpose fuck I don't know it still got years ahead I was with someone yesterday when we were going up to a restaurant an Italian restaurant a guy I mentioned to you earlier

and he looks up at the name of the restaurant and he goes dude that's fine I still think my favorite of those stupid ass console image macros ever was the PS3 at a bar

and he looks at a hot girl and he goes hey baby how you doing and she goes get out of my face and then PS3 just shrugs and looks at the center of the image and says PS3 has no game I think that's really the best one okay no what we got to do

is immediately after this podcast go check out Castle Vidcons and see what they have to say what do you mean after this pod check that out because that Castle Vidcons is the final word dudes you're looking on your phones

but it's right here on the screen oh it's your wallpaper like straight up if you don't know about Castle Vidcons it is the final say on all video games yeah no the last update was June 16 oh wow Bomber, Castle Vidcons is the best

if you haven't read that comic you should read that comic it's the fucking sickest every year it puts out one comic and every other comic should drop there is one large problem with Castle Vidcons and it's going to it now and it's that it's out of pace with events

so like there will be this amazing like the fucking king nintendo kills his former wife the DS light like gag but you don't quite get it because the new 3DS hasn't just been announced like two years ago

this is like still an ff7 remake yeah exactly no it's the peri bible fellowship of the video game one piece absolutely fantastic not going to get better but you're not going to get an update either a lot of people keep linking me this bad kotaku article

by jason schreyer that's like wow those two things go hand in hand stop linking that that article sucks what's it about it's just about the vita statements it's about that and it's like this is why sony killed the vita and it's like yeah I think it's like 60 to 70% on sony's

plate but your reasons are the wrong ones so reasons is because people didn't buy it well there's that but there's a lot of reasons and for some reason he's listing the wrong ones and it's like oh right you clicked on it

yeah I did I was the one who you were in the wrong the kotaku review of sex instead yeah exactly that was I don't fucking know they said it takes a lot of energy I don't know it does but they wrote a review

they wrote a review on sex isn't that kind of a broad topic a little bit well if anything your mileage will vary with this activity so you know that episode of tng where it finds out that Barclay's been having sex with halldeck versions of all of the bridge stuff

we're like a couple years from that in the real world with the creepy oculus porn and the sex robots that's gonna be awkward when like don't you want to go to church? no I want to make out with my Marilyn Monroe bot

I like how you're saying that but I can hear in your voice I can hear it just kill me now the fucking bank account is ready Liam I need to take side photos of your head no not those

wasn't that gonna be the scariest thing where people aren't trying to get upskirt or fucking bra shots people are walking on the street and trying to stand perfectly next to you to get a fucking side mug shot oh god the future's horrible

Oculus support for Source Filmmaker coming soon there it is we're all done we're all done Prometheus 2 is called Alien Paradise Lost this didn't make enough money we need to put Alien in the title now more importantly

blah blah blah blah Ridley is specifically making sure that Alien 5 cannot come out until this comes out first and that is annoying but it's like you know what let the shit hit the fan

is it referred to as Alien 5 in that yes right now I think it was yeah it's the Neil Blumkamp movie how Alien 5 is like being explicitly created as a new Alien 3 and they're calling it Alien 5

no just right now that's all that's the Neil Blumkamp movie it erases 3 and there's erection for history yeah they're calling it 5 that's dumb should they call it Aliens 2 they should call it Aliens should we go Rambo on this

and call it an Alien like it should be called we hired Michael Bean back you're the Aliens you know he's in it right he's going to prize Sroll's Hicks that part where I got fucked up by Steel Bean that was bullshit oh wait no he didn't die colonial marines told us

he didn't die he didn't die he died in the beginning where Tony Alien 3 was in the beginning of 3 no Aliens said no colonial marines said no he's alright he died from something else just Benny Hill themed that in reverse all the way back up that probably sounds horrific

uh yeah so um I you know what they're doing you know what they're doing they're trying to make the Alien cinematic universe now exactly exactly and um just brings the bile back lost as a reference to John Milton's epic poem called the same thing

and it's obviously like based on the fact that the last movie had the audacity to set itself up for a sequel we know that this is going to be on the other adventures of Lizbeth Salander and her head and her ending exactly

and it's just like you know what it's not that that can't be a bad movie because Michael Fassbender was probably the best part of that film he'd be a great talking but I'm running I don't have faith in Ridley Scott anymore that fucking hurts to say it really hurts to say that

Ridley Scott very very spotty track record but I still chalk up Prometheus was that Linda Love's fault it's mostly his fault but he's the writer and he actually like goes on twitter and argues with people like no I wrote a good movie you shut up because what I remember

in the fallout that it right after came out was that the director was saying oh we just got to wait for the director's cut you know you were saying yeah exactly like the kingdom of heaven style that was you and then it was like no but kingdom of heaven

was written the movie screenplay was written by the guy that wrote the English version of The Departed he's a good writer so get me wrong but the problem was that Ridley Scott basically came out and went no I'm happy with this

there was no extra footage there was nothing at the end of the day he's a director and he'll look at a script and go yeah sure like I can do this he has a director's mind doesn't really think about this it actually makes sense all that much I can film this no problem yeah

I've done this type of stuff before but I think it mostly comes down to a writer and Darren Lindoff or whatever has been linked to a lot of terribly failed writing jobs you're lost right franchise your cinematic universe has more shit in it currently than quality

lot more and that's fucking like you gotta salvage that Neil Blumkamp is a good step but really Prometheus too does that have to happen you know like it did make money like it didn't you know didn't fail watch it comes out and it becomes your favorite

movie so children of yeah here's here's my fear I fear that they will make this movie in response to Prometheus's problems in order to fix it the opposite problems and then it's like look it's the alien

oh there's a predator and it's like just over do it to but the cool part of the mystery of Prometheus going into it was that we didn't even know if it was connected or not and then it was like it might be at first it wasn't going it was going to be heavily then they're like no let's pull it back

and then and then it was in a way that makes no sense at all ruins that's why I'm glad that predator is not actually being included in this and then predator three or four whatever they're they're going to call it is its own separate entity written by completely different guy but if they breathe

the word utani anywhere then you know what's happening anyway anyway there was this week we had pretty yeah there's that interview with Spike Chunsoft

dude and he had a lot of things to say for the new Danganronpa because it's not a mobile a portable game anymore he wants to add new mechanics and I'm like what does that mean I mean ultimately it's still going to be the same game on both

who knows yeah you mentioned that the other thing is that he mentioned that as a company they're focusing on NXPS4 and Steam well in the future he said yeah which is interesting um like not make sense put Danganronpa

Steam because like what else are you going to go for like in in like three years time like what platforms are you going to make stuff for we use not going to exist Vita is going to be kind of if not done on its last legs in Japan and so like you know got nowhere else to go

PC man PC PS4 hopefully NX will be the only thing in Japan and it also sounds yes is also gonna yeah Nintendo is gonna like forcibly sunset that as they transition into whatever their NX platform is and it also it sounds like VR

was more than just a test you know like it's something that yeah he says like they don't have anything concrete right now but they're actually like looking into it seriously so I liked his his bit about the Witcher because like Chunsoft they localized a lot of games into Japanese like Dark Siders in the Witcher and I like the bit where he was talking

about how they really wanted they were kind of asking CD Projekt to do a PS3 version of Witcher 2 and they said Witcher 2 was a huge failure for us in Japan because it was only on 360 and they were like but we loved it so much we stuck with it and Witcher 3 worked out really well. The tech though

right like that those they really like like squeezed blood out of a stone on that port. Yeah for sure. And like to do that on both would have been like. No I'm not saying they should. I know but it's this cool little nice thing. I like Spikes stick toitiveness we're now like the Witcher 3

was a big hit in Japan. Yeah they're like we like it enough that we're gonna exactly write it out. Yeah we'll stomach this exactly so I like those guys a lot they're really cool. They're a good company. This got me excited like obviously you got your way more to Yakuza.

Oh yeah I know this got me excited too. The freaking little teaser it's like is that beat Takeshi? Oh shit. It is. See here's the thing Willie you are more excited than me. Oh no. Really? Don't feel it. Alright. Don't feel it until

until it's here? Until it's here. Until it's here. Not even until it's announced like the Yakuza 5 excitement that I felt that was a mistake that was stupid it'll probably work out fine probably but they could always cancel it out of spite.

For you. Yes. Don't be excited. But beat Takeshi's in it though. Beat Takeshi's in it. It's like an amazing actor and stuff. And he famously said he hated video games. So this is significant. I want to see him dub himself in English. The boss

Willie the boss is in Project Cross Zone 2. Yeah right. Sure. Don't get excited. Don't buy Project Cross Zone 2 it's a trap. Project Cross Zone 2. It fooled me twice. That's the subtitle. You can't fool me again.

I'm going to go to EB Games and sharpie that onto the cover. There is a this is more for you Matt. There's a $300 Sahelanthropus figure on its way. And it does transform. Sorry. Matt didn't get that far.

Sorry. The Metal Gear from Metal Gear 5. Well you know I've seen that before. It's called Sahelanthropus. I didn't know its name. It's sick. It's really cool. And it transforms. And so they're making the full $300.

It's a JOT with a Rex head. Yeah exactly. It's so dumb I love it. It's weapon loadout. It's fucking closer to an orbital frame. Yeah definitely. And it can jump. I mean what the fuck. It's got the little orbs. Legs. Legs that are allowed to go anywhere. Like these.

Nice shoes. We've got a bit of news with Genet Ibun Roku FE. Sharp FE yeah. The Fire Emblem Cross Shin Megami Tensei project.

And they just released a couple of... Exactly. It seems like stands are in it. The Fire Emblem characters are stands. They're personas. You call in your personas. But is that

the entirety of the Fire Emblem content? Probably. Well no there's the weapon triangle and stuff. I spoke about that. Swords beats axes beats lines. Swords. That's crazy. There's the weapon triangle and you can see the class influence.

And honestly that system is very similar to the persona and SMT systems. Cause that's in there too. So you gotta watch both of those. So will the mirages be the Kodoko demons? You call in the cast. It seems like they're

like yes but not like regular enemies. You know it seems like they're a bit more special than that. Okay. As if each demon in a persona game were not a persona. You know what I mean? Like there's only special ones. Like Izanaki and this and that. You can't just use Kukulan as

your persona is what I'm saying. You get what I mean? Yeah okay okay. Like Virion and Tharja it seems like they're not going to be regular enemies. They're going to be special. Fuse Roy with the dick one. Lara. Yeah.

Never forget about her. Roy sucks. Roy's so overrated. It's crazy. He's got a fire sword. Cause he was in melee. And cause nobody knows and he's got a fire. It's not why he's overrated. He's overrated for the same reasons

that people like Ken. It's exactly the same. Ken's cooler. But he's the American looking or one and he has fire on his stuff. The problem with that It's Wheeler. It's like what was the localized Fire Emblem game?

It was the one with his dad. And his dad's way cooler. That's the problem. He was way better than Roy. So Roy's super overrated. If Eliwood was in Spash then that'd be the case. But like

Eliwood didn't exist really yet. So there's nothing to really say but like the slow drip of my season 3 news begins this week. So I bet you as soon as this podcast goes up you're going to know whatever that means. There's a new Gargoss and Idol or a dual

blaze blue style Carl Clover boss here. And it's going to be awful. But if you're bringing back Kim Woo Gargoss and Idol everyone else The only way to play as Gargoss and Idol together is to use two arcade sticks

and Keith Cackles in the background. It's totally balanced. And I want them to still be claynation. Yeah. That'd be great. That's how you do it. That's also terrible. You have to use a DDR pad for his feet

and the stick for his hands. It was a slow news week so there's very little going on. But there was the Assassin's Creed Syndicate story trailer where you basically tuned in and went oh okay gang's in New York. Gang's in New York that's where we're looking at. But in New York

before the New York in Europe obviously. There was some rumblings out of videogamer.com that implied that Syndicate is going to be just as fucked up as you know what I mean. Which is a bummer. Based on seeing the game. Based on Assassin's Creed. Based on Assassin's Creed. Okay.

It was based on seeing mother brain in one of the cutscenes. It was the way that it talked. It was implied that one of the guys knew a guy who told him to go I'm going to do it well fucked up. Oh boy. Who knew a guy? Who knew a guy? We live in Montreal it's embarrassing. But it's the second iteration of the thing you've already done

so it's supposed to be the better good one. Yeah like I enjoyed Unity but like two years in a row of that. That's no good. Syndicate's made by Ubisoft combat. And it had three years. It was in development for three years I believe so it's like oof that's not.

Well this is their other Call of Duty switch off team thing. That's great and I believe this is their first offer. It's the only way to get that stuff going every year. At that pace. Like Call of Duty is switched to the three year team. And it seems like the quality improvement's going to be huge

just looking at Black Ops 3's zombie campaign. Holy shit. Did you see that? I did not. What's the difference? Zombie campaign in Black Ops 3 is just like the other ones like you know there's the alien campaign and stuff. So this one takes place in 1940s right? And you get to play as these four archetype characters.

I can't wait to play as the boxer. It's so fucking cool. You got the boxer, you got the damsel. Are they celebrities like in the past? I believe so. And boy the production values look awesome. But they're not actually celebrities. Yeah I think that's what it is.

Let me pull that shit up. Not many 1940s celebrities that you can have to come back and record some of these. Oh no. You just get the cast of Bad Bad. Stay Hitler and call it a day right? Yeah. But that doesn't sound too different from wasn't there a zombie campaign

for World at War? All the Treyarch ones have zombie candidates. Yeah. So yes. But they've been building them up and now they have stories and shit. So I think the biggest knock I can put against the Black Ops zombie modes is that it's not

as good as Killing Floor. That's what those modes are. They are straight up the game Killing Floor but Killing Floor is only that game and so it's much better. It's Jeff Goldblum, Heather Graham, Neil McDonough, Ron Perlman and Robert Picardo.

Yeah there you go. So Robert Picardo. It's called Shadows of Evil. Like they have a... The magician, the femme fatale, the cop and the boxer. And they have to fight the mastermind, the mysterious shadow man.

Because who was it before? Wasn't it Danny Trejo, Buffy? Romero was the zombie. And I want to say, what's his name from it in black? Will Smith. Jadon Pankin Smith. Tommy Lee Jones?

I don't think so. In a college game? He's a federal marshal. And you remember that part in fucking Fugitive where he's like, I didn't kill my wife. He's like, I don't care. It's the best.

And he jumps off the fucking dam with a shitty looking dummy. Like it's not good enough to ship two games. We have to ship two games with completely different art. You know what I mean? If you're splitting your team across, you should be working on totally different environments. No, I mean that they have

the Black Ops 3 single player co-op Deus Ex campaign. And then they have the... How's the dead overkill shit? I thought you were going back to Assassin's Creed. No, no, sorry. It's fucking crazy. Do you see how the PS3

and 360 versions of Call of Duty Black Ops 3 are going to ship without the campaign? Because they don't think they can handle it. The four player co-op Deus Ex campaign. I would love to see the sales data on that. It's going to be huge.

People have been saying it for years and years and years for Call of Duty and Battlefield. Just sell the fucking multiplayer. Just the multiplayer. So it's going to be the multiplayer and the zombie campaigns also included. It's going to be huge. I would gladly take 10 bucks off my Battlefield purchase

to not have that so far. The trade-off is it's $10 cheaper and it comes with Black Ops. And I think just the first Black Ops is an Xbox 360 downloadable. I don't think the product that gives people less options is the most optimal one. No, definitely not.

But it's interesting how that's the solution. I don't think they should have always had it that way. I can see it. I can see it where they have it outsourced to another company to do the port like they usually do for the last-gen ones. And I can see the difficulty of testing

two four-player multiplayer games at the same time on two different platforms. Like, that's a hard thing to ship. If any projects call of duty for sure. No, I agree. But you look at the environments and stuff

and you're like, wow, they're actually really big. Like, they're not just detail. The director had an article about this and then it said, we'll not ship with single-player. And there were like 500 comments and they were like, well, another game I won't bother buying. I was like, I love the multiplayer of these games,

but for a company to go, you don't know. Yeah, it will just say no to me. I saw that article. Because it started a discussion about how do you feel about games with single-player content? I would argue that it does have two thirds, not half. But it's always...

That happened over the last gen, the 360 PS3 generation, where with Battlefield and Call of Duty, it became more and more obvious that those games have two audiences. Not three. There's no third audience that loves both the single-player and the multiplayer.

That's like 10 guys. There's the guys who rent it and play through the single-player. And then there's the guys who fucking play the multiplayer all the time. It always sucks when there's no single-player, I say. With none. The only thing, to me, you need to be at the level that Titanfall is at now.

The level Titanfall shipped with was not okay. The level that they got to after adding all the good shit, that's what you need to ship. I think they're gonna be, because the Zombies campaign seems like it's a full fucking, full-fledged thing of its own accord, but like, yeah. Also, right now, the Ubisoft announced that

Rainbow Six Siege is also not gonna have a single-player campaign. Yeah, and on any version, yeah. Which is quite something. What's the point of, what's her name? The Mead Flag. No, no, the actress. Hillary Clinton. Maya Angelou. I don't know whatever.

Angela Bassett. She's in there for the opening cutscene, and that's what I guess. But yeah, no campaign confirmed for that. It's interesting, but I guess that's what the game would have been. Honestly, that's refreshing to me. With Battlefield 4 in particular,

it was like, you guys just made this whole fucking campaign so you could have trailers. Like, when you played it, you came away from it. Dude, the campaign sucked in that one. It was so obvious. It's like, the entire reason you built this entire campaign is so that you would have trailers. It all went to the multiplayer. The old Rainbow Six games were just menu

into mission, and there was no story. Yeah, no, this is like, clearly just a multiplayer take on it. It still looks really good, but I, for, with no campaign, I don't think I'm gonna get into it. I want those matches to be incredibly short and infuriating. I got a beta code, actually, so I'm gonna try it,

but we'll see. A piece of cool news. The, there's a new Assault Suit Lanos game. Yeah, it was announced a while ago. Yeah, so we have a trailer for it now, and you can see a pretty in-depth thing of how the game is looking. And I looked at it,

and I was like, this is weird, because it looks like, you know, Vulcan and Cybernator, which is all that stuff that looks like Metal Warriors type mecha. Yeah, and I was seeing it, but I'm like, but this looks a lot like that game we took a look

at the other day, Gun Hound. It's like, it turns out, they gave the franchise to those guys. Which is why it looks just like it. And it looks like that. And it's like, okay, I can see that. It seems like the right guys nowadays. They're the ones that are making it. They got the spiritual successor going, so I want to check that out.

Speaking of that game, did you see the trailer for Earth Wars on PS4 and Xbox One? It's a 2D action game. Don't you fucking get a sequel? It's a 2D action game that has really nice art, but it has like shitty vanilla-ware animation style.

Looks really, really, really stiff, but it looks really, really pretty. What's it called again? Earth Wars. I think it has a slightly longer, like, title, subtitle. But yeah, Earth Wars. You should look at that. It's not the vanilla-ware rip-off thing that we were looking at the other day.

No, this is similar, but it's a different game. Yeah, it's a different thing entirely. Yeah, it is. It's a robot. Dude, the 3D models look ridiculous. I can't even describe the texture work on the 3D in that game.

Does anyone know what kind of game that scene is? Nobody really knows. We're hearing that it will be with no single player. It will be a side-scroller until you reach an enemy and then something will happen. No. It will be a side-scroller and you will do all

the content 13 times. No, no, no, no, no. It has to be so... It's gotta be front-listin' three. That's what's gotta be. It's actually hard to say, because they're making those nice 3D models. But you're right, though, because the prettier the game looks, the more you're gonna look

at that shit. The more times you're gonna play it. They're not gonna have enough money to fucking spread it out. Yeah, exactly. I'm glad with their original vision. This will ship with no single player campaign. You know, Dragon's Crown was such a runaway hit for them. It did amazingly well.

As it should. And by far their best performing game. So I'm sure Atlas is giving them a heftier budget to work with. They were working with a small budget, but it was kind of because the team was so small. They're only like 12 people. But I'm sure that they're getting

supported way harder, which is why this game looks as good as it does. Plus, they're doing Odensphere on the side. Which is like, what are you gonna be able to do butt drops, though? Because here's the thing. If they take a look at it and they go, alright, we have three and a half hours of content.

I would rather you ship that. That's what I'm saying. For once in your lives, just go, you know what? Fuck it. Ship that. Ship it. Put a $70 price tag on it. Don't fucking grab the MSG spoon and just start mixing it in. Yeah, exactly.

Because that sours the taste in our mouths. And we have it raw. You don't want to walk away with that cooling over. Damn it, fuck you. Vanillaware magic tainted by, I never got to the real ending. The problem with Vanillaware magic is the spell takes 40 hours to cast.

Like... I completed it. Have you played Muramasa to completion? No, I didn't beat it. I didn't beat it. Did you like it? You should legit go buy a Vita copy of... And play the extra chapter. Because they're short. They are short.

And good, right? They're better than the main game. It's an entire other Vanillaware game that nobody talks about. And it's so good. And you can just pick and choose whichever one looks good for you. I tried really hard to beat Muramasa.

Yeah. I think we all did. No, I beat it. Are you finished it? I said it and no one... I'm sorry, I didn't hear you at all. Both campaigns? Our shmup god, Pat, was like you need to do this. You need to do this.

He helped me... mainline to what I wanted. You should go play the DLC campaigns because they're really good. Part of my fire was quelled because I had the raw version first. And I was playing it in Japanese just dicking around.

You do have a copy of that. For a long time. I guess I'll retread this in English. Plus that game got translated too well. It translated so literally that the story makes no sense. I would rather them made up a story.

Because you don't know these Japanese demon histories. Yeah, because exactly. But did you see the Vita version? They re-translated it and they fixed it. You didn't know about the butthole eyeball demon? What? Everyone knows that. I hear you, but they did fix the book.

I saw comparisons screenshots. It was your butthole eyeball. No, you're right. I'd forgotten that the Wii version had that quote-unquote issue. Yeah. I love the fact that everyone in a desperate reach to grab any part

of F-Zero's guts and eat it and consume it for themselves. Yeah. Fast Racing Neo now has the announcer guy from F-Zero GX. That's the guy. That's the guy. I've forgotten memories.

No, I think that's F-Zero X. F-Zero X, but yeah. I forget what F-Zero GX sounds like, actually. It's deeper, way deeper. I couldn't do it. It sounds like... It's a role they've forgotten memories announcing if I see him as a voice actor.

Definitely, exactly. It's like Junco, man. It's like grab whatever you can and take it for yourself, you know? I don't know if you can afford that game, but they're saying like December and I'm like, oh, you mean February? December is not a month.

You mean December 2017, Shonen? Yeah. At least they're not Nicalis. Did you see we finally got so Legend of the Raven? Finally coming around in like... Attack on Cataclysm? In like November on Vita and PS4 in Japan. Not Attack on Cataclysm.

Way to go, Nicalis. Again, yeah. What? They're releasing second impact. They're releasing vanilla. After the release of Third Strike. Yeah, yeah. Because they didn't...

That was the one that the Indiegogo campaign was for. Because they only licensed the original game. The original game. And the creators continued. And now it's coming out in Japan this year. I so think this is the most confusing thing in the fuck of it. It's very confusing.

No, no, don't tell me. Please forget. You explained it when we did the video. But I still don't understand. Nicalis was like, we want this. And it's like, okay. But we're going to keep working on it. Fine. And Nicalis took way too long. And the original dev team was like, well now we have the updated amazing version.

And Nicalis was like, well here's vanilla. And it's a bummer. I want that on my Vita. But I don't want that. I still think the most embarrassing is like... I think it was four or five months ago where ArcSys just released like

Calamity Trigger on Steam. Well, recently when they were teasing a fighter and everyone was like, it's X-Arts, it's X-Arts. And then it was fucking Battle Fantasia Plus. Yes. And it's like, who? Who was asking for Battle Fantasia?

Open the door and toss a scrap out to the peasants. Battle Fantasia is like this weird... It's a good game. But nobody cares. It is... You know, Battle Fantasia to me represents William and I's desperation

for Street Fighter IV stuff. Yeah. Because he had found shitty quality videos of some dude in Japan playing the two shittiest looking characters in the game for 100 matches. And it was recorded on a phone.

Like VHS. And we were just like, that's the kind of animation Street Fighter will probably use. It was the same board. And it was like anything. Desk thing to latch on to. And on the NX thread on NeoGaff, it's approaching 100 pages.

There is nothing going on in there. What if my phone broke a goat? Fucking wristwatch. I just remember us looking at those videos going, is that 2D? No, that's true. What is this?

And I was just like, what? And you were just staring at it. And you were replying to me. And then sitting there with the door girls just being like, okay, no wait, hold on though. Hold on, that lighting is too good. That can't be a sprite. Because you're watching it at the lowest possible resolution.

Then again, you're watching it at 180p. But nothing compares though to the first time the KOF 12 trailer popped up. And it was like, those are not sprites. I don't care what anyone says, they're sprites. Fuck.

That was a special one. And now we have shitty looking PS2 models. Like in all fairness, they are way better than the PS2 could do. But they're way worse than the PS2. I remember being wowed by tech and tag tournament. Oh yeah.

And I feel like this is where we are. There's no pain like King of Fighters 14 pain. Can we just call it King of Fighters China? Because that's what it is to me right now. KOF China. China Joy. And lastly, I just want to call attention to this video that Clickhole put out

called Progress. This video game's protagonist is a deaf woman. And it's just a review of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. And it's just like you can't argue anything to say that it's not. Go watch it and it's like

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a deaf woman. And you can't say otherwise. Prove it. It's great. It's really progressive. Clickhole is a really fantastic website. Dude, I lost my shit. It's so good.

I'm so glad that it's portraying deaf women that they can jump. And do things faster than they can. Everything a regular non deaf woman can do. It's way faster than their counterparts. The downside is that your partner just kind of does nothing.

Have you ever thought that we can just make fun of deaf people as much as we want on this podcast? Especially the Deaf Amish. Until somebody starts doing the conversion. No, but they're all in on the joke too, right guys? Yeah. Alright, I'm going to wheel my chair slightly away from Liam.

If you've got complaints, please send them too. As you kickstart fucking Hitler coming back. The master D plan. Hey, you know what? I love that. Last week was the first week since

Ariane Resurrection. That we had mass comments and Twitter messages like, guys, I listen to this podcast at work. Oh god. Mission accomplished. Like, yes. That was the point.

Send your complaints to superbestfriendcast.com. That's superbestfriendcast.com. If you want to complain. Don't actually send your complaints there though. I mean, you have. We're just going to laugh at them. Send them to Takahata at whatever his email is.

I bet you he'd still answer them. He'd pretend. He'd sign with your name. You know what, that podcast was terrible. He'd reply in Steiner Voice. You'd get a letter sending a little something like this coming in from Mark. Mark, what do you have to complain about?

Hey best friends, Mark here, just wanted to know what your thoughts were on collectable items as a replay value. To me, personally, in games like Ascrete and Ground Zeroes, when I finish the main meat, I find collecting items dull and not fun. At that point, I stopped the game and it usually ruins some games for me when it's mandatory

or like things like collecting coctags and figures of war. Do you feel that collectable items are a good incentive for side content? I think Mark's completely right. And that the vast majority of those kinds of collectables are terrible. I think context is everything

because I think like the King's Flags and Assassin's Creed were the worst. They're the worst ever. And feathers and this, that and the other all those Assassin's Creed. The feathers is the worst because they told you something would happen. Your incentive was to have your mother talk again. And nobody give a fuck.

Like that shit sucks. In Ground Zeroes, I was so okay with it because Campbell make us this big and you turn on your night vision goggles and you see them. It's better to have like lots of stuff in a small confined area. To make it dense. Yeah.

Also the reward was worth it. Oh my god, was it ever worth it? You needed it. There's two parts to this. Playing Ground Zeroes without playing Deja Vu and Jame Vu. What are you doing? You didn't even play the game. And the other thing is when the incentive is strong enough

it doesn't feel like a chore. The other thing to me, that's like equally... But nobody wants to get off good content like that. The last fucking collectible side content ever in my opinion was Thousand Years of Memories in Lost Odyssey. Because there are short stories that are better

than the main game. Yeah, yeah, totally. So there's two parts to this. One, your incentive to do all of them has to be significant. It has to be worthwhile. It has to be for real. The second thing is that even if you don't get to that all of them goal

they should each be worthwhile for their own merits. And I would argue... A flag or a feather or whatever, bullshit. A story that all you find is that one collectible and it's a story that still had value for you.

I agree that said the abuse of Intel dossiers has a critical mass. I will never read another Intel dossier ever in my life. Here's how many collectibles your entire game should have. 20. And they should all be a cool little thing. I think if you've got like

10 good ones, go ahead and tie a trophy to that. But if you've got 200 and they're nothing and the only reward is a trophy or an achievement I'm sure I've told this story before but Arkham City is the game that completely broke achievements for me forever

because of the fucking Riddler trophies. See, I got every Riddler trophy in Arkham Asylum because a lot like Camp Omega it's not that bad. And a lot of them have little cool things about them. Arkham City is also where I went

fuck this, fuck Riddler trophies for life. And I tried to get them in Arkham City and I just got to some that I just couldn't get and the ones that couldn't get kept piling up and piling up and I was like, okay, no I'm done. Apparently Arkham Knight has like a million. It does have less fun. I have the utmost respect for the hidden stars

and braid but never want to see that ever in another game. As a mandatory thing, ever. It was one and done. It was one and done and it worked in braid and I don't think it'll work anywhere else. The stars in braid are fucking crazy, I love them. Mad respect for that.

Do you have a wired controller? Yeah, exactly. Fuck you. One example that I really like and I mentioned in the video is that in No More Heroes if you just, you get those like four treasure chests per boss dungeon, those are not hidden.

They're on the path. Sometimes you just need to turn the camera from your starting position and it'll be right there. That's about as good as they get, right? And if you get every single in No More Heroes one, if you got all of them during that run, then the set that repopulates

all the levels in your new game plus are the bits of concept art that when you look at them tell you stuff about bosses that you didn't know otherwise. So you'll know the ages of Shinobu like where this guy is from and that's like, concept art is usually

very wishy-washy to me, like sometimes I hate it. Like that's all you gave me and most of the time concept art is bad but that concept art is good because it shows how do beam katanas fucking work? Definitely, like that just reminded me missable collectibles are the worst

when you have to do a perfect run through a game and get them all in one go. Oh no, hey guys, just okay so here's the part of the FAQ for the water level alright, before you start you have to get this collectible from the bottom or from the water level

because you'll never be able to come back to this until dawn. It's like, yo, walk away from where the camera's telling you to go find a totem. And until dawn, they skirt around that because you can just go back to chapter select and it's safe. Until dawn doesn't

very well. I'm talking about a game where you can no way to go back because I try. Well no, but are you saying you want to walk backward? Like, it's different. I'm saying until dawn has some of the best collectibles ever. I'm saying in games where you get to the end

credits roll and you cannot do anything with your save files. Yeah, that's the worst. Like that's what I'm saying. Chapter select fixes it and like hard cold rule like total hard rule, don't fucking put a chapter based game with collectibles if you're not going to have a goddamn collectible tracker next to the chapter select.

If I can't see that I've got every collectible in this level fuck off. If I can't see that I'm missing the one from this level it was a plane that did that really well that told me exactly what I was missing shit. I think Tomb Raider did that. The new Tomb Raider, it has like

trackers all over the goddamn place, I think. You want to talk like horrible like the Uncharted series tells you everything. You want to talk about like this many in this chapter. Like free roam mode. Yeah. So the worst ever, the worst collectible quest that I can think of as of right now is in version 1.0

of Skyrim. There is the Stone of Benzariah quest or whatever which is finding these 29 amethyst diamonds. One of them is inside a main story mission that takes place where you infiltrate a mansion. It's the only time you can ever get into that mansion and it's sitting on a fucking

bookcase somewhere. There's no tracker for these fucking things. It tells you how many you have but there's no waypoint, there's no like follow things to it. If you miss it not only will you miss it until you look it up, you will never know that that's where

you missed it. And I don't know if any of you played Skyrim, that game is physically large in terms of area. It's quite big. Fuck. They eventually patched it so that that stone would appear elsewhere in the game if you missed it or some bullshit. But fuck. Fuck. Don't do that. They've never been in there in the

first place. Design oversight. Oh totally. Find all the dildos. We found them. No you didn't. What are the dildos? We got one coming in. Mike wants to know what's your favorite intro to a video version

of yourself? What's your favorite version of yourself that an artist renditioned for a game? I like the No More Heroes 2 one a lot. One of you and me and him. Yeah. Just you know there are different versions of us in the video intros.

What's your favorite character? We have an upcoming one that has a fucking great intro and I love all the characters. I don't know which one you mean. This is a new one. Oh you mean the really

animated one? The one that's going up on... Oh you're just talking about it. We didn't announce that yet. The cat's out of the bag. That's my favorite one. I love plagues a little cameo on that.

I think it looks great. Yeah the No More Heroes 2 is strong and for me... Oh Matt's No More Heroes 2 like... No, no, no. The Thunder Ball 3 if we're leaving is... Matt's No More Heroes 1 like... That's the best. We're going to guard and seal back.

I like it to be cool that often I don't feel. I am a big fan of Guardian Woolly. That's really cool too. Guardian Woolly. Well Plague did a good version of you as Volgar the Barbarian. Remember we did that quickly with Volgar? Yeah the Viking. Sorry Volgar the Viking. You see that's coming on the Jean Cast? Yeah.

I believe it's out right now. I feel if we look over like my head on all these things it's my head put on someone's body and I look worried or something like 99%. I think you look best in the Pat Stairs at Mercenary Kings one.

Where you just chopped up the one from Deception that I put together. Thank you. Because I do a lot of this stuff with Artisan Net but my head is like... There's so many but... Just pick a good one.

The No More Heroes one. I feel like there's something that was really really good that I don't know. Freedom Planet was really good. That was fun stuff. Okay we got one coming in. Oh god no. I accidentally just clicked on the fucking

MGS5 spoiler topic. I don't look at it. I was doing the thing where you go to scroll with your hand but you were too slow and you accidentally... Oh fuck it. Yeah there it is. It's my WrestleMania cactus Pat version. Those are solid.

I love my Edge Lord The Punishment. Alex wants to know bad video game OSTs. Liam take it away you've got this. Bad video game OSTs? There's only one answer to this. There's a lot. The beginning to end...

Sonic Dark Brotherhood is the correct answer. That one's a deep one. You always talk about the Yoshi game. Yeah the one song from Yoshi's New Island. Oh is that one that's really bad? But that's the thing is from a beginning to end full soundtrack.

That Sonic game is on another level. That Sonic game is on another level. This is the worst thing in the world to be an unquestioned expert on. No. All the tracks go. And there's a hurriedness to your voice. He's got it.

He knows. I want to give a special shout out to the basement theme and Resident Evil directors. Resident Evil basement theme is untouchable. Oh god. It's fitting that the man who wrote that music got caught up as a giant fucking fraud.

Yeah I forgot about that. Oh. Yeah I remember that story right right right. He outsourced death. He outsourced it to a guy and said yeah I wrote this and didn't listen to it. Yeah.

Video games is Broadway musicals. Oh. Well last of us is the closest you'll ever see right now. Unless you go to Japan in which the Phoenix Rant musical is super great. I was going to say Phoenix Rants feels like the best thing and they already did it. Phoenix Rant.

That's the best thing you can do. Ah hatred. When's hatred? Because you weren't there but it was at some con where everyone's like we're in a room and everyone's like well what game should we play and I was like oh when's hatred

and everyone's like kind of turned to me like what the fuck is this and we're just like yeah of course. That because years from now that only gets richer. Yeah. Beyond Two Souls. Indigo prophecy. All day.

Fucking puppeteer. That'd be amazing. I watched that. I'm glad they watched that. Has anyone gotten to see any part of those fucking persona stage shows? No. Apparently just you look at the costumes and you're just like

Starcraft. There's a dragon bump coming. Starcraft. Nuclear Strike Detected. Yeah. Biocom. Modern. Why would you, why would you do this?

My arm. My wife. Which is it now? It's so easy. It's so easy. I would love to see that. It would be a rap rock opera. And that's why I used my

Bionic Bionic as like he gets wires stunted across the stage. Yeah, like it would just use the Spider-Man. Yeah, exactly. Spitzer. We're all dancing around and smelling

your solid one. That's the one. Game over. That's the one. I still want Spider-Man too. Snake. Snake. Crawl in the ground and it goes on and on. All that dialogue.

Sight. A rushing gunship. What's a fashion gunship doing in Alaska? Whose footprints are these? Oh god. You made a comment about in one of the MGS5 parks in which maybe we'll finally get to see

how Liquid was able to shoot down those jets with a helicopter. Some military guys sent me some fucking articles describing how attack helicopters absolutely kicked the shit. They have a good go.

It's 5 to 1. It can happen. In close range. So all you have to do is start your helicopter up when you're inside their missile range. So never engage a helicopter at close range even in a jet.

My moment of awakening on that is when Black Hawk down when a fucking Mogadishu dude runs up with an RPG and shoots it and it's like barely a couple yards from where the helicopter is and the helicopter deeks it like a punch.

Like an Ibo Dodge. It fucking demsy rolls the missile. It's like how do you do that with a thing? That guy trying to grab the rope didn't appreciate it. It was insane. There's two streams

of wind and I'm catching them both. I knew when that one would come. Exactly. I knew one would come. I used my Sharon Gann to see your RPG. I can see it.

It was the piaku gun. You're in the realm of my divinity. What's coming up? We already fucking spoiled it. You spoiled it. Shitstorm 4 9 pets. Scary.

I was so happy to see that. What a fucking good day. On October 1st. That's the day that it starts. Guys see he approves of this name. Guys see he approves. I love that that happened. Otherwise I guess all the LPs

will carry on as usual. Mario Maker should be this weekend? Yes. It shall. It's pretty normal. I'm looking forward to dancing all night. Dancing all night.

Especially considering I haven't watched any of the trailers. I don't want to know. I've watched the final boss fight. There's been so much footage of costumes. Yo that. I want to appreciate it all. That final boss fight though.

Is it what you think it should be? What song do you think it is? Well not the song but the boss itself. Oh no it's a totally unique thing. But is it the song? It's the song that it should be. Not the song that you think it should be. The song that it should actually be.

Missed. I'm excited. I remember reading and talking to Holy about it. What? I'll hold out all face that way. I mentioned it to you in an airport one time because I heard at the Japanese release that you have to play through the vast majority of the game

in order to get the hardest difficulty unlocked and it's like that should be unlocked. That should be unlocked way earlier than that. So I hope that's not actually as bad as it sounds. But. I haven't had the remixes spoiled for me either. This is going to be so good.

There's a lot of songs. I've already listened to maybe a hundred of those remixes. Not from this but from the fucking concerts. Every remix of these tracks are amazing. The tracks, the bass. The bassists of these tracks are so good. I can't, DLC tracks are good too. Looking forward to finishing Undertale

and seeing where that goes. I'm going to keep hitting rocks. I'm really looking forward to the return of the king. Tony Hawk 5. Absolutely. Totally. It totally doesn't look like an embarrassing train wreck.

Hey, little Wayne's in there man. I'm an old man. Are you quoting Tony Hawk? That's correct. Or little Wayne because he's also a skateboarding model. I still remember back in the day when I was a child and Tony Hawk was the shit

when it was a big fucking deal. Dude, did you hear? Tony Hawk's going to be on the Tom Green show. And then he was. Someone pulled up game rankings and said the number one highest range game was THB, THPS2

and THPS3 was the highest run of the PS2. It's accurate. It's not going to fight it. It's crazy. If more locations were still reviewing PS2 games at the time of its release

Persona 4 would have probably taken that title. But it came out like fucking 2008. No, because the penetration of the fucking Tony Hawk games was everyone he went to school with. Persona is not that. Fuck off. Also,

Mega Man Legends coming out this week on PSN. Don't give them a chance to say it sold poorly. Just buy it. Fuck Mega Man Legends. You've bitched about it, you have to buy it. Do I have to play it? No.

Just don't give them a chance. Anyone who has ever complained about the game not being available. Here is your opportunity. Don't fail the test. I'm also looking forward to whatever is happening to me on Sunday. I don't know what.

It's my bachelor party and I don't know what to expect. I know that I have to get up at 9 and wear a blindfold. You have to wear a blindfold to your bachelor? I also not allow pants for some reason. I don't know. I'm joking obviously. It'll probably be a good time.

I thought that was a reference to another thing that I don't know about. You don't know? We don't know. Why would you think we know? Call this number. I'm not sure where to get the stuff that I need. That where is that?

Google Maps will help me. It's not anywhere close. I prefer MapQuest. That's a good one too. Map is the best. That's true. Double trip. Double trip. That's what that's from.

It's my favorite. No, no, no. So hold on. That's a good one too. That's not how it's saying the song. That's a good one too. It's less aggressive. Now here's the thing.

This is why it's my favorite. I've been saying that's a good one too for literally years. I never said where I was from but the only person who got it was Pat about one month ago. Yeah. I noticed like

you literally for years you would have an extra edge to it. I've been adding extra. Because now because Pat got it for once I would just laugh to myself. And now that you know it's like yes it's fucking the chronic

what-calls-of-narnia. It's way more aggressive than how you've been doing it. You can watch it right now. He's been doing it. That's a good one too. Google Maps is the best to that. Double true. It's the best.

Timely. Chris Parnell is doomed to play Pathetic Fox. I just saw the latest Rick and Morty. It's like it hurts. That's what you need. Did you see they're going to be making a VR game? For what? Chris Parnell?

The writers of Rick and Morty? Is it a Rick and Morty game? Is it a thing? They're going to be doing a VR game and fuck I forget who's developing it but it's the guy you want. That's going to be bad. That's going to be bad man.

I was reading something the guy who plays Rick and Morty in describing like here's how I act for Lemon Grab because I hate it. It gives me a horrible headache and makes me want to throw up when I have to do I remember he said that they're working with William Q who made the Stanley Parable.

That's the perfect team up. It's an HTC Vive thing. That's a good one too. That's really interesting. Hover Junkers is another thing. Co-partners with William Q.

That's fucking awesome. What team? Expect the horrors of my neighbor Sonic or whatever. That game didn't affect you but playing that

with a headset on would fuck me up. I couldn't handle. Oh I can't wait. Goodbye real world. Bye. When are we going to get our sword art game? What's that happening? No, the real one.

Thanks for watching.
