Castle Super Beast - SBFC 113: Harriet Tubman Will Never Defeat Big Bo

Episode Date: October 6, 2015

We accidentally recorded the podcast with a bad mic this week. You can still hear us. We just sound kind of...underwater. Sorry.

I'm so recovered. I'm fully recovered. I'm fully recovered. I have not. My index finger is bizarrely fucked up and I'm not going to try to explain that. Yeah, no. Is anyone's like kind of hands hurt a little bit when you flex on me? I still feel like it's from yesterday.

It's because of our weak baby arms. A little bit because yeah, you're using more muscle than you thought you could be using doing some of those activities. That's right. Yeah. But like I've got kind of used to it. Those kids won't be getting off, but we beat them up good. That's what you're going for?

Okay, yeah, sure. We went into a bunch of speed fights when no one was looking, I snuck in a couple glasses of water. So I'm okay. You can work it out. I was shocked at like how much I had and how well I recovered. Maybe that's getting older. All right.

So should we call this Matt's Bachelor Party or should we call it Matt's Stag Party? Stag Party. Because it has set still to your connotation. It is. The Bachelor Party is the thing you expect from TV shows. Yeah, of course. The Stag Party is like the dirty ground. I don't like that.

I don't like that at all. There are people that on the top of their head said, here are possible names for the themes of Matt's Bachelor Party and some of them are really weird or like, like I forgot most of them, but I was just like one of them are like, we've never even talked about that. But it was strange. Oh, you've got an example. Oh God, I have to look at it again.

There was like two or three days ago, so it's a fucking blur. Yeah, things are a blur. I remember most of them. Yeah, I wouldn't imagine you would. Except for those video clips. Yeah. Okay. So I looked through my camera and I was like, oh my God, it took so many dumb photos of

nothing. Rocky took so many photos of us just staying around. Yeah. But really quickly, an invisible member of the Zybot suit, Rocky, not me. Your bestest buddy. Oh, you motherfucker. Your bestest buddy, Rocky. Yeah, you're your friend, the tiny leather jacket, Rocky.

Yeah, a little leather jacket, Rocky, playing stickball outside the aisle. Yeah. The nicest motherfucker on the planet. The nicest man. He organized the entire sort of day and just, yeah, I'm expected to be up at 9am and that's all I'm told. So then I am put in a Punisher Mario Brothers getup. I got the overalls and everything and Willie shows up and we all drive to the first location

and we're waiting. We're waiting. Waiting in wait, you might say. And then perhaps you might say ghostiness. Even through photos that my fiance looked at later, she can clearly see that Rocky and Willie are bad at leading me around. Oh, yeah. And the photo, she goes, or the videos rather, she goes, how are you supposed to, no one's

helping you? And I'm like, hi. Every part was when Willie just let you walk into a staircase and John. I was arm locking and walking initially, but at a certain point, Rocky wanted you to wander. Fair enough. Fair enough. And then where the fuck am I?

You swerved the car a couple of times on the way. Yeah, yeah. Rocky swerved the car for no reason because when you can't see, you think you're dying. That's right. Every second. That's why I tried not to blink. But the first thing I noticed when I was drawn to a place to smell popcorn, so I go, okay, well, it's here, it's here, it's here.

And Strip Club could always be one of them. Of course. Strip Club, a popcorn machine, good time. But blindfold removed and we're in a movie theater and I'm like, okay. And then I realized earlier that when I was still in my place before we left, I saw my Xbox was just gone. Yeah, it's not taken. And I was like, well, where where's my Xbox and then what happened and then there was

like, no, it's fine. And I'm like, okay. So then yeah, Rocky rented out the movie theater so we could play a couple of games on there, which was, which was really, really cool. I did that kind of one before, but the projector was shit. We played me and Pat played MK9. Right. Oh, it was garbage.

And it wasn't that great. But whatever movie theater we're in. This movie great projector. No. They had a latency. And it was set up and it was fucking great. The one thing. Yeah.

Yeah. How would I, how would I have improved the presentation of it? He, maybe if like, if the time permitted or if, if, if, if Willie Maynard was in charge of it, he would have known that this would be really good. But I'm like, you know, it's still amazing that Rocky got all this together. Yeah. But when I walked into the theater, I saw the blindfold on and I'm just like, okay, well, I'm in a big room because you can feel the air change, change and some of the noises

go away. So I'm like, okay. And then I was like, oh, cool. And then, uh, uh, Willie kind of nudges Rocky's like, Matt should have been coming in to the room with killer angst and already playing, but he still had the blindfold on. So what I, that would have thrown me for a loop because I would not have known where the fuck I am. Cause why would that music from the distance as you walk down the hall when I was like,

whoa, where am I going? Am I going into a death fight when I was going to put the girl up? So I was trying to do it and that's why that went on right away. But yeah. I mean, that's a tiny little, I just know, of course, I just want to point out, Rocky was a super clever guy and he grabbed all your games, right? He grabbed all your Xbox one games, like Duff Dynasty started to, yeah, and then I went hold on.

You grabbed a bunch anyway. Nice. I said, I said, hold on Rocky and picked some selections. Yeah. Okay. You might not want to get ground zeros. I don't. If ground zeros was in the batch, 80% of the boxes had no disc.

And I was looking to the boxes and I was like, no, because the discs, man, I was like, we're data sites down on a couch chair somewhere in the sofa. Oh, this has a lot of cat's ear real. Yeah, exactly. But it was pretty funny. Play cab. The main thing that was really fun was actually perfect dark on that. Oh yeah.

There's no excuses. You literally can see everything. Yeah. That was really fun. Who was it that was getting in on my shit for screen cheating? Well, I just brought it up. Dude, how can you know it's overpowering your vision? That one section and we're playing on the temple map from Bowman Eye in perfect art.

Yeah. And the dragon happens to be there. So whoever gets there, because all the other weapons were slow firing rockets and stuff. So whoever gets there has a huge. Yeah. It's just kind of zoning. And there was a moment of like, everyone's shut the fuck up. We're booting Ori and the Black Forest.

Just to see. Yeah. That's quite quite. There's a theater attendee that was on his phone in the back the whole time. That's the one time he stopped playing with his phone. Yeah. He's fucking nervous. Oh, who got?

Yeah. Yeah. So you just looked at the intro of that because we just wanted to see who does that look like on that side screen at that great resolution. Yeah. It's surprising. Even though it was only a 10 ADP, it looked fantastic on the projector. There's some kind of visual magic that we need to look up.

Maybe that maybe projectors just do that. Because it's not because it's just shooting light everywhere. You were the one that was in the office. I hope so. Yeah. Did you see what kind of projector? How can this feel of this technology? It was so big, but it looked really modern too.

Like I'm not an old digital projector. Big projector. And then like, you know, travel to the next location and then, you know, blindfold it again. And this one where everyone really subtly starts going, yeah, skydiving. Well, parachuting and then we're going, yeah, we're doing that. We're getting into a plane. The best thing about that was when you walked up the stairs, none of us said to do it. That wasn't a plan.

He was standing there just did it. And he just said, he turns an audible. Because I heard another voice and I was like, wow, they either told that person the same thing. No, no. He told us. He ran that train. And we just went with it. Was it the main guy?

No, it was the main guy. Yeah, okay. So what I thought this was when I'm being led around and just from the noise and stuff, I thought it was one of those zero G wind tunnel chambers that you actually kind of fly in. And I was like, oh, that'd be kind of cool. That'd be a fun thing. I mean, you're not only, you're not only supposed to have like three or four people in there at a time, but that'd be kind of cool.

I guess. And then like blindfold release and go karting. And I'm like, You're a hella cool go kart. And I've always been like, I don't know. Because Rocky's always been like, yo bro, go go bro. And I'm like, oh, okay. So I wasn't really sure, especially since we're forced to watch one of the most awkward videos ever.

That was the hardest part. It was like a promotional, here's what you don't do. And it was actually borderline offensive. It was actually kind of offensive. Whenever they showed you things that you don't do and showing like the dumb person, it's always the blonde girl. Don't drift and contact other cars. Do like comment and subscribe on Facebook.

Yeah. And there was a five minute paintball ad in the middle of that safety video. Yeah. But we get in there and like, you know, it's kind of kind of like, whoa, how do you handle this? The first two maps. I was like, do we have, do we have bananas? No, Liam had the real idea, which was each helmet should have a speaker in it blasting F zero.

Yeah. That would have been the best. Because one, because then when the race gets closer, the music ends up being louder because you're closer to the other race. Three, two, one, go! Like the second, the second, the second kind of race, we had like three races. Like that's when I was like, oh no, this is so much fun because it was that one section of turns. Or I remember you were pointing out like, you can just blast through there almost going a straight line.

Yeah. Take it wide first. So yeah, that was really, really fun. I like to do that again somewhere. I learn. Because I don't want to go to the same track. You don't have as many options in Montreal as you think, but there are places if you go off-island. Yeah, I bet you.

I was thinking about it too and how it would be boring to go to the same place for the same time. It's like apparently theirs are the fastest. Yes. Because theirs were like 70 kilometers an hour. Which is super fast. It was super fast. We're American folks, that's like, what, 40? I don't know.

And like the thing is, yeah, my only other experience was like when I was a kid, like sitting with my dad, and like I was carrying him and he was going with the pedals. But I learned the fucking like the pain of Bowser and Donkey Kong in these games. Or it's like, dude, you're heavier, you're going to go slower. But your tall speed is high. You both may be good-bye early. Because Liam and Rocky were flying by us and I'm like, I'm an extra 100 pounds on the same fucking machine. There's no way.

Quote, unquote, real race where you can bump. That would help you because you would be way more... Yeah, it's rubbing and bumping. No, it's forbidden. I have no compensation for the... You don't go. You bump and run when you want. Yeah, exactly.

People didn't see Days of Thunder in here. They didn't see a movie, yes. Because there was a moment where I was like side by side with, I think one of the other guys that was with us. Yeah, that was Lighter. And it's like, no, he's pulling ahead, no problem. Plus, one of them has been there multiple times, because you've been to other bachelors parties.

Oh, yeah. So, yeah, the gut tax is in a full effect. What did you have to wear while you were there? So, I get told that, who's the bachelor over here? I'm like, me, and then I'm just, all right, cock head, here you go. And I'm like, what? And like big rubber chicken on top of my helmet, which was so heavy. I'm not sure if you agree, Willie, but it threw my balance off when I was walking with it.

And then you tried to take it off, and he's like, what are you doing? What the fuck are you doing? Which I also had to wear, because it's the only helmet that would fit, because fucking giant head, giant hair. Yeah. No visor. Yeah, the visor. You don't need the visor.

Every show. No, just get the gravel right in your eyes. No problem. I got gas on my face. Yeah, yeah, no, straight up. Yeah, no. Rocky's card had no cap. Yeah.

Or did Rocky use the ink power up? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Liam, Liam. He just has to like wipe his head. Liam lacked me once and fucking middle figured me as he passed. I did. And I was like, I'm not supposed to take my hands off the steering wheel, but it's worth it. Mother fucker.

I got you back on the turn. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, that was really fun. And then it was kind of, you know, kind of standard things. We went back to, you know, my apartment. We watched the movies and stuff and ate a bunch of things. But the actual real kind of what leading up to it is this, it is a bachelor party, so it's expected.

And I was kind of like, I kind of hinted at Rocky or my fans until Rocky like, we are a type of group that I think we'd all agree that I'm not sure how much pleasure any of you would get out of being alone ish in an apartment, watching one stripper grind on me. Oh, no, that's the best. Yeah, no. That's what we all wanted. Yeah.

We all wanted to see your uncomfortable erection. Everyone look at that. Yeah. Wow. Look at that girl. Yeah. That's the thing. And I brought this up to Pat like, but it says we're, or some groups of friends are

much more raunchy with each other. Other group of friends, that would be more appropriate. And amongst us. And you are the group of friends. We're not appropriate. But amongst this dynamic guy. There are at least two other guys that were like, so the second like part of the evening I guess.

So for people that know, no, Montreal, we have a place that just doesn't fuck around the name of it. And it promises sex of the super variety. Straight up. It's called club super sex. Right. And we kind of go in there and the two other Italian guys are there like within five minutes of sitting down.

If you grow up in Montreal, it's the first strip club you ever see. It really is. It's not. Okay. You look at a map of Montreal and you look at the downtown core and you point at what you think the center of the city is. That's where club super sex. There you go.

Right there. Literal, literal heart. And it's marquee confronts you with the idea of super sex. The biggest neon women. It's basically like a super heroine with like, you know, my favorite part about that place is every time you go to five guys, the dude at the door is like, Hey man. Hey, you want a burger? No, I just want a burger, man.

Just one. Yeah, we got burgers up here. Yeah, you want some real meat. Yeah. So we go in there within like five minutes of sitting down. The other Italian dude that's in our bachelor party. Disappeared. No, no, no.

Well, Rocky, like I guess the excuse was that Rocky's a very, you know, chase. Very. But he's good boy. Well, I bet that's what I thought at first because he didn't show up because he was driving trying to park parking down the entire time and never made it. But then it turns out he's like multiple times. I've been there. Yeah.

But I'm asked, oh, which girl do you want to be in a booth with you? And I'm like, zero, sir. And I'm like, I'm having fun watching the stage and look at these girls doing these actually amazing things. Look at the ups and downs. So here's the thing that puts me like at ease or whatever that like loosens me up. Like you're playing a song. I really like voodoo by God.

And I'm like, you were way more receptive to the environment than I expected. Much more. Having a blast. It was quite fun. I think I have a little bit more to drink at that point. You had plenty. There is a couple moments. What was that?

Look at that thing. But my main thing is I guess this is like the me in me that's going out and I'm thinking how do our ways to improve this? And I'm like, oh, it all involves video games in some way. I want the girl dress up coming out as orchid and play the music. And I'm like, oh my God, I would love that. And I'm like, is this an enterprise that we could enter at some point? Geek flavored strip one.

If a girl came out looking exactly like Faith. Who? Who? Who? If a girl came out as the boss and zipped her coat down a little and then walked out the door. I know. Matt, when you retire, you can start up your peak scene.

I think that's strong. Again, because we're us. I mentioned to Liam. You get to plan with so many fucking copyright standards. No, no, no. It would be, hey, here's blue sunflower. They already do it. Here's metrod show crawl.

For an extra five bucks, metrod will crawl on you. Metrod. Metrod. You're getting too close. Sorry. They already have the burlesque versions of lots of these good stuff. Totally. Totally.

They're still stripper. Do not steal. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, like I looked around the environment and was like, this is the first level of a shooter. Yeah. It's the first level.

It's the second level. Find me a red steel. I want to say like Shadow Warrior as well. About a big one. But yeah, no, I had a good time there. But when it comes down to like, hey, there's literally like the guy from Charles Evolution going, hey, hey, hey, you want to go and get granted by some girls. It's five dollars.

The real name. Whoa. That's, I would rather it be more. But you see, the thing is that they're advertising the special thing that Americans come up to Montreal. Which is why the entire strip club, despite being in downtown Montreal, is entirely an anchor. It's because the moment Americans turn 18, they cross that fucking border, they get their

first quote unquote, first taste of liquor, and then they get a strip club where up here there's contact. Yes. Which you don't have anywhere else. And it's legal. So everyone, when you see Kay, losing his mind. Yeah. Yeah.

The idea of a strip club can touch you. You go to a strip club, 50 bucks, you're going to touch a boot. Yeah. That's happening. So we're only there for like 25 minutes because then Rocky trying to get parking just goes, bros, we're late. We got to go to the next thing. And I'm like, oh, okay.

And then we all just got to start looking around going like, what? What? What time is it at that point? Like 10, 30, 11, 9, approaching 9.30. Approaching 9.30. And the morning started at like 9. 9 a.m. Yeah.

So then we like the other guy. Well, the other Italian dude. Some of those friends. Yeah. Yeah. One of them bowed out at some point because he had a wife and kids at home. So he's like, I got to get going. I have responsibilities.

But what was really fun is that Rocky brings us to. Enjoy it for me. There's old Montreal, which is basically the most touristy trap thing. It's like, hey, look at those cobblestone shit. Look at that horse crap. It's amazing. Old Montreal might as well be called new carrots. Right.

And it's like super new for expensive restaurants. But there is good food down there. There's awesome. Really high quality food. You can get down there. And we were driving around there and he goes, all right, the place is over here. It's over there. And we go, okay.

And Rocky goes to again find parking. So he is gone for almost 90 minutes. Yeah. And we're all in everyone. We kind of go, well, is it under. There's a reservation. Clearly is under math things and Iraqis. I don't know what you said.

I thought I did. I tried to give them both names. They're like, no, nothing. And then eventually it was not under anything. And then one of your friends that was there was like, oh, no, over there. We'll join them. And we walked around and what was going on. And I just go, who the hell are all these girls?

Like, I don't know. Oh my God. That's not what you said. That's not what you said. That's not what you said. But we wandered over and Crime Tina's Bachelorette party was happening at the same time. So the native owner, her sister and Rocky had. It was a work.

It was a work. No one knew. I was ecstatic. Cause I was like this great level of drunkenness. Oh my God. I'm so glad to see you here. And I looked at each other and had a reaction of like, hold on a minute. Hold on a second.

Right. Cause there's two, there's two mindsets about this kind of behavior. Indeed. There's mindset. Let's call it B, which is what, what happened in which, oh, it's a great big party of friends, family. Let's compare notes. Let's compare notes.

And then there's type A, which is what I always assume the Bachelorette party and Bachelorette party was. And then it is a fucking wormhole time erasure. Yeah. Black hole of nothingness. It is the fog of war. Nothing occurred and nothing happened. And hello.

Yeah. Good morning. Good morning. Are you alive? Yes. Good. We will now continue upon today as if nothing happened. Yeah.

Yeah. But yeah, we had a really good fun meal there. Gotta go see the doctor. Come on. Uh, but then like they, they eventually like, Oh, well, we got to go. We have another like thing going. And they're like, yeah, okay. And then Rocky's like, Oh, we're going to head back and you'll just watch some other

stuff at Matt's place or whatever. But it was when me and Willie walked out where we see all the girls, they had, they had a moulin rouge burlesque. Yeah. They're wearing all these sexy loose jeans. They're like 20 deep. For fuck's sake. St. Clair was there.

Fucking Hummer limousine. Hummer limo. Hummer escalation. Taking pictures. All these girls piled into their awesome vehicle and we're all shoved into a car. Get into the trunk. Minimally, we had to get into the trunk, crammed in, seven in a little Jeep. Two of us in the trunk.

Yeah. It was selfie in there. It was more comfy than you think. And just the contrast. You know, to like the fucking girls. We are not. Guess what? We're doing the podcast and we're totally fine.

They are not. They went to bed way later than any of us. Yeah. They are not all right. So yeah. I wanted the image of Matt chasing to try and get into the street, the limo. He's like, it's my wedding. Let me in.

Not today. It's not. So she has a great story where their driver says, or I'm going to drop you off here. I have other people to drive around. Okay. So I'll be back here at 2 45 a.m. Okay. And she goes, yeah, okay.

Sure. Whatever. And they have to spend two hours doing whatever. And then they're like, okay, we're actually done. Let's just go outside and wait for the driver. And then apparently all the other girls were like telling my fiance, you were getting really, really drunk and really annoying. So you were out on the street going, where the fuck is this driver?

This is unreasonable. Let's call him. He says 2 45. It's not here. And they're like, it's 2 20. It doesn't matter. And she just gets to that point. They're like, calm down.

It's fine. We'll be here. And he was on time. And then as soon as that happened, instantly calms down fine. Good. So when you're waiting and you're drunk, you do get impatient. But I thought that was really funny. So they, she said, she's been at a million bachelors because almost every one of her friends

is also married. Of course. So she was like, I, I. No. And she just goes, like, this is the best. Like we all agree. Like, oh, everyone just loved it. And we're just, everything went so well.

And they had lots of fun. I can confirm to you that this is easily the most fun bachelor party I've ever gone to. How many have you been to? I don't even know. This is the first one I've ever been to. It's the best one I've ever been to. Fair enough. So you had a really good time.

Rocky, Rocky doesn't really listen to podcasts, but I'll tell him. I told him a million times, but thanks so much. Well, it's right at the beginning of this week's podcast, Rocky. Oh yeah, exactly. It's fast forward. You're the hero of the week. Yeah. That was a good, that was a good view on your predator.

That was a good talk. That was a really good view on your predator. I want to run down the rules. We had a drinking game for predator. I just drank. Every time there were muscles on. Any time muscles flexed. Any time muscles were highlighted with some panache.

If they were like a third of the screen, that's good enough. Anytime they talked about the good old days. Anytime predator vision. Predator vision. One-liners. One-liners was kind of a loose thing. We didn't even do it for get out of the chopper. But some of them, some of them, you know, second Tyrannosaurus.

Get to the chopper was always like way weaker than like going to have me some fun or like, like a million other. It's all right. It's all right. Right here. For some reason it doesn't feel like important. Yeah. And the sleeper line of the night that we all forgot and now we're going to keep using ghostiness.

Yeah. Yeah. Yes, Motherfucker. Regarding the report of your ghosting. Yeah. It was... Please, sir if you would kindly. At 2100 hours, Dylan was a supporters motherfucker.

And he was then told to Dylan, that if you give away, you would be punished. And if you give away a proposition one more time, he will then take precautions in which to bleed him, real slow. Real slow. Leave him here. And then he was asked upon Dylan, did he understand this? Amazing. Can you follow that away in HR?

Yeah. Yeah. It's a brutally on Dylan's file. Regarding ghosting. Fucking man. None of these ghosting's gonna have a control. Because it's like when you've got, you've got Dylan in the movie. Like how do you play the other black guy?

You just... Yeah. Just be real quiet. They have a good contrast though. They do, really do. They do. One thing we discovered from that movie, particularly, wasn't that Blu-ray? Yeah.

I'm like, what's up with Carl Wether? Yeah. Exactly smooth body. In the beginning. In the beginning. Yeah. Super weird. There's a movie going on there.

I bet, meanwhile, when Mack is about to go, as Liam pointed out, he's a fucking can of coke. Yeah. Covered in coffee. Yeah. Bill's coke is a fucking spray. It's a coke zero. Sprite can pulled out of a cooler.

Yeah. Everyone sweats differently, man. Yeah, I know. Like, Schwarzenegger sweats. There's one guy that didn't sweat at all. Jesse Guterra. Yeah. Or, oh, guys.

I thought you could say I'm a native guy. Billy. Yeah. I know he sweats here and there, but... Not that Billy. Yeah, yeah. No, Billy. Definitely not that Billy.

Billy! Billy! That Billy. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. We bought people Billy. So yeah, really good time for that, for the weekend.

All right. Before we roll out, let's take quick word from our sponsors. Matt, you're about to get hitched. I am. What's going to happen? What do you got? What do I got? What do you got?

What are you going to sell him today? Well, I'm getting towards the thing that is probably regarded as one of the most fun parts of the wedding, which is where you sit there. It is running away. Hey! Within the shotgun, puts you back to the fucking altar. Yeah. It's where you sit there and people bring you the gifts and incense and myrrh.

Yes, frankincense. Right? And they come and they deliver it straight to your feet as you deserve on this, the day of your wedding. It's a fun time. It's a good feeling, but it only happens once in your lifetime. Hopefully once. Hopefully once in your lifetime.

Right? Then you get a free one. But I'm just getting that. It's a nice feeling to have things brought to you. Perhaps if there was a service of some kind that could replicate this feeling, perhaps on a monthly basis, we wouldn't even need marriage. So you're saying we're skipping the step of bringing stuff to yourself, and you're simply telling someone to do it for you.

Right? Well, that'd be a really cool idea, but a service like that would cost like a thousand dollars. And your structure for that would be a nightmare. Nobody could possibly do this. To destroy the institution of marriage? The logistics just aren't there yet. Well, on paper, maybe. And what format?

Like, you can't send a tube like that every month. But in reality, son, you get a crate. You can get a crate. This is just a lot of groundswells. And by crate, I mean a little black box that comes to your house. It's invincible. Well, I think they make airplanes out of it. Yeah.

Little, little, little things like that. But there's lots of good stuff in that crate. It's called a loot crate, my friend. Oh, I've heard of this thing. It's like a wedding every month in your house where they bring you the gifts. Exactly. That sounds like it could get expensive. A wedding every month?

Yeah. Like I said, that's like a thousand dollars. Forget this. The mages over at loot crate have got this down to alchemists. It's over 40 bucks a month worth of gear coming to your house. And you can get it for less than 20 bucks a month. How could they synthesize something so inexpensive? I'm not that good at math, but that's like a hundred percent savings.

But shut the fuck up. Okay. Go to lootcrate.com slash super and use the promo code super. You save three bucks more on your new subscriptions. This is a risky business model, but it seems to be working out. The theme this month. The theme, boy. Now, I don't have a long time left before I need to get married.

So is there anything that can save me some time? The new loot crate theme this month is time. Oh, that's just exactly right. You open the box up and time is coming at you. You ever think you needed more time? Yes, I do. Here it is. Every day in this box.

I have to find an archway somehow. There's no time. Just to heads up, the metaphysical concept of time may or may not be in the loot crate box. Yes, we do not guarantee that time will be inside it. I guarantee you that time will be inside it. You'll open it up and time will pass as you open it up because it's in the box. There will be time inside that box. And you know what?

You know what, Oli? It'll be a good time. Yeah. All right. So once again. You sold me, Oli. LootCrate.com slash Super, promo code Super. You sign up at 9 p.m. by the 19th of every month to get in on this month's break if you

want to get that time back. Okay. That's over a week. No, that's almost two weeks from the day of this podcast. That's an ample amount of time. That's plenty of time. Okay. So Tokyo Tomare, over to lootcrate.com slash.

That makes no sense. Shut up. It's fine. You made no sense. Oh, good one. Destroy the institution of marriage. We'll do. Thanks, LootCrate.

Thanks, LootCrate. Yeah. Okay. So prior to that, how are the individual weeks? I didn't really have that much else going on, but I was going to say, I did have the one two things, wayward pine. Do you believe we talked about that at all? Yeah.

The one that was on Fox about a year ago, produced by Emile Shyamalan, stars Matt Dillon. Yeah. Okay. There we go. He's never seen Twin Peaks. But I do. I have heard that. But it's not that kind of vibe.

It's, you know, out on digital things. And we just started watching that. I'm like, what is this? Very, very crazy show that's like mean spirited Twin Peaks. And then it just kind of goes way off the rails, but really we haven't finished yet. 10 episodes. They're very interesting show. Can't like, no, I don't think canceled finished.

And then it's based on a series of books. So I don't really know what the deal is really interesting. I also finished Hannibal season three. And let me give a second to talk about this, because I've never talked about before the entire Red Dragon storyline, the prequel book to a science of the land. Not as successful. Yeah. The Red Dragon.

It's one of my top 10 of favorite fictions ever. I love the serial killer. I love Hannibal's role in that more than in silence of the land or Hannibal or Hannibal especially. But that's my favorite fiction. I've watched the movie, the Red Dragon, more than a million times. I've read the book a couple of times. I've watched Man or a couple of times.

I don't really like it that much to decent movie, but as an adaptation, it's poor. Yeah. Plus Red Dragon, the killer that's played in that. He's a Frankenstein-esque goofball. And in the book and in the other adaptations, he's this soft-spoken, sensitive bodybuilder that believes a demon is being built inside. So you have it up there with Ghost Slash Aliens and The Outsiders. Oh, no.

Okay. Yeah. I feel like Red Dragon is a better movie, but I like Silence of the Land more just because it's more quotable. Oh, yeah. No. It's there. So this is the shows, like now let's adapt this material.

The first half of the season is adapting Hannibal the movie when he goes to Italy and there's the guy, Mason Berger, feeding with pigs, but it has no Clary Starling because they don't have the rights to her or whatever. So the first half of that season is just a mess. They didn't know what they were doing because one of the main characters is gone and they're replacing them all. They're doing an okay job. It's not terrible.

They're like, this is a mess. They don't know how to do this. And then the second half of the season is the Red Dragon storyline and that stuff. I really, really loved it. They did a lot of different things, a lot of different visual things. And the guy that plays Red Dragon, I think I mentioned this like a year ago when he was announced, was the same actor that played Thor and Oakenshield in The Hobbit, Richard Armitage.

And he is amazing. It's a very different guy than Ray Fiennes that played him in the Red Dragon movie or whatever. They really, really enjoyed it and they put a little bit more focus on Hannibal and Red Dragon. It was very, very interesting. I was like, look at all these changes and none of them were bad. All of them were interesting.

I'm like, oh, you're doing that differently and that's actually a bit more, oh, I like that and whatever. And I had a really, really good time watching it. No one's ever watched them before. I recommend it. But like I said, the third season is half kind of if, maybe they're half like fantastic. Hannibal's a good show, groundbreaking opinion that we all like, the half the internet is yelling to watch.

And like I said, it's visually one of the more like interesting shows I've ever seen because there's stuff that you look at that are so zoomed in, you don't know what you're looking at. Like blood really, really close or like all the cinematography is amazing. Like True Detective was also a good show. You're gonna have to really get some of the cinematography. That's the comparison. But this is far better.

I want to finish. It's more interesting. That's what I was going to say. So what's the current state of Hannibal? You said season three is over, but like I remember there was a bunch of all intensive purposes dead. Oh, well, good. I mean, well, not good, but like, but completable, like it's done, it's ending is almost perfect

in the sense that it doesn't say one thing or the other doesn't. You can say that doesn't leave anything open or you could say that leaves a lot. I can't, you know, but it was like, wow, the more I thought about, like, that's fine for a show. Because you never know when a show is canceled, they know it's getting canceled or edits just made to go. Okay, well, we can't go back, but it's kind of a small bill thing where it's like it started as this is the prequel story, but then it became no, actually were our own

continuity. Yeah, right? Um, yeah, definitely because things that happened that happened completely differently compared to everything else. And the last kind of thing is that you guys talking about what's going on, you can finish it, but I also finished a saga volume five. Yeah. Amazing.

Really was like, I was almost page after page of, oh shit, oh, oh, interesting. Oh, whereas volume four was kind of the first volume four was the slowest one, but it was still great. And just the slowest one little seal guy. I'm like, you guys, you mentioned it a little bit and I was like, well, what do they mean? So when I finally ran, I'm like, yeah, seal guys in there and doing stuff. And yeah, really, really kind of brought me back to go, okay, now we're, that was just like a little, I guess, you know, slow period is fine because there wasn't that much happening

in the start of volume one. Well, they needed that section to set up what would happen. They really did, but it was, uh, and that will conclude our saga talk for the next like five months, you know, or just, and then it's every time that you would comes out, it's like, God damn it, you repage one, you're like, fuck, go grab the last one and flip through it again. You're like, what happened? What was it?

What's going on? Can we read the whole thing? No, you just, you just got to flip to remember who was up to what? The comic's so dynamic and you're constantly going from place to place and character to character. It's hard to remember all of it. And motivations are changing. Yeah.

And motivations are changing. And alligions are changing. Yeah. It's a faster pace than that. Oh yeah. What a magic. Yeah. So imagine the events of like four episodes of Game of Thrones are happening in one book,

but you're getting them spaced like half of your apartment, you know? Yeah. So yeah, fantastic. You know, everyone. Right. And dude, it's so worth it. It's going to get the hardcover, the big hardcover thing that has to be suckling at the time. The only reason I say don't get the hardcover and then cause you'll be waiting two years

for the next hardcover. Yeah. And I almost bought the first one and I was like, wait, no, then I'll have to wait for fucking ever. But and now that, and that's the thing is now that it's a three format book, it's like, you're fucked unless you're collecting one of those types of trades, though. Yeah. With Vagabond, I bought all the individual books, someone stole my volume one and never

gave it back. And now they only have the giant three book Takabond things. Yeah. And you're fucked, you know, like it's over. Yeah. I didn't really get a chance to play first. Cool. That's fair.

That's kind of fair. Liam? Hi, I'm here. Liam, we both get to talk about this week. Okay. Well, I played Persona 4 Dancing All Night a lot. I'm pretty much done. I finished the story, got the Platinum Trophy, did everything.

You look like you have something to say. Yeah. No, definitely. So, graphics are 11 on 10. Presentation is immaculate. Well, that's always... Presentation. Sure.

Like style. The graphics are 11 on 10. You could upscale that shit per PS4 and it would look fine. The game looks amazing. Probably the best looking game you've ever played. Did you ever look at it on your B2 TV? No, I didn't. Because I did and it looks like a PS3 game.

No, I didn't. The image quality in particular is really good. There's a lot in. Yeah, exactly. I didn't check it out yet in that regard. The music ranges from 8 on 10 to 10 on 10 tracks. That's really good. The two that you previewed for me, I would have fucking...

Yeah, there's some really good stuff. Because I've been cold on this thing the whole time. And like, once he started playing it, I was like, oh my god, yeah, okay. Yeah. And all the menus, all the presentation, including the visual novel, is all like super, super well put together. Like the regular Atlas quality of menus and presentation. Do you feel like they're getting stronger and stronger at that stuff?

I feel like they could be. No, because I feel like every time they do it, they get just a little slicker. Yeah, I feel like they could be. But that's what happens when you have like, let's say two or three graphic designers that are all like master level, you know, working together at the same company for like a decade. Yeah. Your UI team is just the best.

And that's what you end up with. The story in the story mode is nothing to write home about. But I'll admit, it actually got a lot better than it was at the very beginning. The first hour is a fucking slog. The first hour, it's just slow character introductions. Oh, do you remember this guy? Do you remember this guy? Do you remember Chiye?

She liked me, you know, like, How long would you say it is before the first dance? Yeah. So within the first hour, you get maybe two songs. I feel like it was longer. Chapter two and three, the pacing picks up a lot and you get like, you get dances every two scenes and that's really good. And then it slows down a little again, not as much as chapter one and then speeds up.

And the end is, the end is good. It's better than I expected actually. So it's like, so many levels of like, And mashed through that text to get to that one fight. Yeah. Well, it's like BlazBlue or whatever, or Persona 4 Arena, you know, that exact thing. But the story was better than I expected, which is cool. There were a few things that kind of frustrated me because this game is clearly not made by

a company who's made rhythm games before, because they made a lot of amateurish errors and weird design decisions. Wait, so then what's the developer? So originally it was made by Dingo, right? Who made the first three project Viva Games. They shipped a game called Love Live School Idol Festival and that game would all fuck when it should have been a complete slam dunk. And nobody really knows what happened with that, but it's evident there were problems

in development because that was their main genre, rhythm. And then a bit after that, it was removed from them and the Persona team took it completely and some internal Atlas team, whether it was the mainline Persona team or not, we don't know, but some internal Atlas team did all the rest of them. They changed the gameplay entirely. Yeah, the in-game UI changed, maybe for the better, but a lot of stuff changed. We don't know of enough details, obviously, but some of the design decisions are so amateurish that they can't be chalked up to trouble.

It's the Note Highway. No, it's not just that. But that's the one that even I noticed right away. That's not the worst mistake though. That's not the worst problem. Yeah, the first thing is the Note Highway. It's hard to get used to the in-game UI. You can get accustomed to it and after a while you'll be fine, but it's definitely really not beginner friendly.

Having the notes spread out around the screen as opposed to having them converge is really problematic. You go to Guitar Hero or Get A Room Man where they're all converging on one spot. Or you look at Elite Speed Agents or Project Diva. Or even if it moves, you're still looking at one spot. Yeah, you follow a line around the screen in those games. You're focusing on one spot and dancing all night where they're spreading out and the icons, in particular the yellow icons, are rather small. It's possible to have a hard time getting accustomed to it.

After a while you will get used to it and it'll get better, but it's really not beginner friendly and it's really a weird UI design in that regard. But you get a really good view of the dancers so I get why they do that. But then there's just like dumb issues. There's no 16th notes, so if ever a song needs to have a note as specific as that, you get the closest approximations, which is an 8th note. There's no more specific notes than that. And that's a problem in some songs with swing jazz and some of them.

And the notes aren't 100% accurate. Is that a problem with how it's sent up or is that a problem because of the song selection no one really thought? It's probably an engine restriction or something where they didn't have that allowance. Solution, don't map your notes to the music. What do you mean by that? I don't even know if that was the solution. But I'm saying segue.

So there's another problem in the game where in some songs the notes aren't mapped to the music. They're mapped to a non-existent extra instrument that is the button press sound. And I showed this to Woolly because I thought it was a little crazy. But there are some songs where you're tapping along to not the music, but you're filling in the gaps with another instrument effectively. With the little clackety-clacks of the rhythm. It's almost like the Yakuza series. It's a little different, but you're not crazy off.

But basically you get problems where you'll be playing a song, you'll be following either an instrument or the singer, and then it'll immediately segue into filling in gaps. And it's not evident because you're always thinking of the next note that's coming in that song. But oh no, there's a note that you have to press now because you're supposed to play an accompaniment to it instead of following the rhythm. If it matched dance steps, at least it would have some... No, that's bullshit.

But you know what I mean? It's a rhythm game. A dancing game. That's exactly it. That's not called rhythm anymore. No, I know it's not. I realize that. If there was something that it was tethered to, you know what I mean?

But it's just its own track. Yeah, I appreciate it. And it's no good in that regard. That sucks. Some songs have absolutely no issues, and they're totally fine. The more up-tempo stuff is OK. Some of the slower stuff and just a few odd ones in there have weird issues where there's no way you can perform that song properly on your first couple tries

because you're expected to learn where the notes go because you actually can't follow the rhythm. Which is just a typical rhythm game designed for no reason. And there's little issues like they put no thought into the scoring system where players who play worse can actually get higher scores than players who play good. I'm not going to go into the specifics. The worst part of what you explained to me is that on harder songs, if you miss a single note in the last 30 minutes...

Yeah, well, the thing is... Well, that's another thing. To be honest, Liam, I thought the explanation was really interesting. OK, well, I'll explain it. Yeah. So if you have a 100-note song and a player plays through that song and hits 99 notes perfectly, but makes one mistake in the very middle of the song,

and then a second player plays that 100-note song and hits 60 notes perfectly, hits 39 notes good, which is the lowest rating to hit a note. Great, rather, I should say. Not the lowest one, but the second lowest. And then misses the very last note in the song. The second player, who had less perfect button presses for the same amount of hits, will have a higher score because he kept the combo going longer. So a statistical outlier, which is a mistake,

destroys the first player's score even though they played it better. And the reason for that was because every point multiplies as you go higher and higher. Whereas the later in the song, your point is, the more it's worth. Whereas rhythm games should really be scored in a different way where you get a point for hitting a note perfectly. You get a point 7th revenge or a comeback mechanical. They should be scored on a per-note basis. It's reverse damage.

So there's just a bunch of little minor things like that, and yeah, the health is really jacked in Hard and All Night. You told me, oh man, I think the health system's really bad, and I said, what health system? You got the point. In old fairness, there is a tutorial that tells you, in Hard and All Night, if you make a single mistake in the last 100 notes, there's a very real possibility that you literally can't recover

because there aren't enough notes left in the song. It depends on the song, of course, but it's insane. It's really, really crazy the level of difficulty. Again, you get used to it and you learn the songs and you stop making mistakes, but it's just not fun when you're in the process of moving up to the next difficulty because it's expecting you to hit 98% of notes as opposed to games like Project EVA

that are expecting you to hit 80% of notes and stuff like that. Asking you to hit 98% of notes is actually really absurd. You get used to it and it's better, but it's not good for that first experience at all, and it's really, like, it's just not fun. I stopped playing it. I stopped playing it because I'm going through the story mode, and I noticed that even when you pick normal in the story mode,

it still defaults you to actually easy songs. Yeah, you have to bump it up to normal. And then I bumped it up to normal and like the second song, I was like, this is really hard. This is really, really hard. And you're theorizing that the likely reason why they have that combo system is because it feels really good to hit. Oh, yeah, for sure.

So the combo system, it just feels nice to get big points, and I admit it's fun, but it fucks up like having balanced scores where, like, again, a worse player can get a higher score than a better player. That being said, the whiff under my nose of some of those god-level remixes that I've heard just fucking... That sounds tragic. Oh my god, that's amazing. I've been playing it. I'm still playing it.

Holy shit, I need that. I have, like, 20 hours of playtime, and I'm still going to keep playing it. It's really, really fun. But it's got a ton of flaws. I would probably recommend it more to a persona fan than a fan of rhythm games. And even then, I'd probably recommend Project Eva ahead of that. That's like the problem is that the story mode is super read. It gets better, actually.

Really? I was kind of shocked. I was kind of shocked. Because that beginning is terrible. The beginning is atrocious. I mean, like, that whole cannon and kitchen thing is fucking terrible. I sold through a chunk of Persona Vue, you know, so it's like... I'm your delicious cow. I can.

So, like, what if you had to play Persona 4 Arena's story to unlock Labyrinth? That'd be bullshit, right? Yeah. You have to play through the story mode to unlock some of the songs. And, like, that's bullshit. But what's even more bullshit is that they would do it, but let you unlock the last boss song. Yeah, it's not the right songs. Like, it locks off some character songs because they want to hide those characters, like, as unlockables.

But then the last boss song with the sick dance that it has, like, I don't want to spoil it. It's really, really cool, is not locked off for some reason. So it's like, come on, either lock Nundum or lock all the ones that matter. DLC characters, you're putting out as well. Yeah, well, that's icing. That doesn't matter. What does that come with? It's expensive.

I mean, if the songs get as a matter, because you'll play at $40,000. What does a DLC character come with? A DLC character. Well, what does it come with? What is the money to stuff ratio? It's $5 for the song, the environment that goes with it, and the character model. Is that just one song? Yeah, exactly.

For the regular songs, DLCs is a dollar per song, which is the standard for the game. Okay, that makes more sense. It's the model ones that you're paying for the art more than you're paying for the net. That makes it a lot better. That still hits me with, like, I can live with that. They're expensive, but it's like, eh. And at worst, whatever, don't buy them. There's 29 great song games.

Conference in there, and it's the best track in the game, so you're going to buy it. I couldn't, I fucking lose. How are you not? I was excited. I still think the game's quite good, but it has really, really weird base level rhythm game problems. Well, what I was explaining to, what I was telling Liam at the time was, like, because I, like, ignored every trailer and didn't hype myself up for it anyway, seeing all the

visuals and music and everything coming together when he, like, showed me what it was. It's gorgeous. It's the first time I'm seeing that, so it feels fucking magical. Yeah. So I'm really still riding high on that. I'm personally incredibly upset that my first time that I played it was on the V2TV, because it has significant input lag on the V2TV. Yeah, there were people saying there's latency issues for some reason, which is weird, because

no other game has that. And the note highway, like, visual, like, view, like, focus thing becomes way worse on a television. I haven't actually bothered to look for it, because I haven't needed it, but I read that there's also no way to recalibrate the notes, which is like, which is probably one of the reasons you have issues with TV. But my TV is sluggish. I have a damn little TV.

Yeah, no. My TV is under one frame of influence. I had to put up with the fucking PSN, and so the online entertainment network bullshit. We even had a troubleshoot that. Did you call them yet? Which has gotten worse since yesterday to get my money into my wallet to spend. I didn't call them yet. That was in PayPal though.

I am using PayPal, and that's the problem. Still. So the credit card thing, it still doesn't work. Never worked. Never worked. I've only been using the website and adding money through my PayPal on the website. That has suddenly stopped working now as well. And then my only method of using it, of putting money, was loading up my PS3 and adding money,

not through the account part of your PS3, but in the store thing, pretending to buy something that's the same price, and then cancelling out when you have the money. So even, and I tried to do that last night, and I fucking was having problems with it. So now my only way is to use their, put the money on your next phone bill. I've used that in the past. It's a business thing. But that's the only way to add money now. As soon as that'll stop working.

And then that'll stop too. Yeah. They don't like you, will they? Other people online have had this problem. It's like your thing stops working, and then slowly one by one you run out of methods. Something's fucked with their system, and I don't know what it is. But sorry. That's alright.

Yeah. Good game. But not the best rhythm game. The better rhythm games to get. Yeah. But the other one's not up to Chie. No, it's fine. Oh, yeah.

Chie is weakened as a character in this game. They all are. Almost all of them are. Exclusively. I think Yosuke gets a bit good. Yeah, Yosuke turning out to be like, oh wow. What the hell? He had sick dance moves the whole time.

Some characters get it better. Some characters get it worse. Or he resays his damage. Just like in Persona Q, Chie suffers. Rise suffers because of the voice actress. Because of the voice actress. I didn't think it would bother me. I believe it is Ashley Burks doing the voice.

It is, yeah. To be fair, to be fair to her, she's doing as best a job as you can probably expect. But it's not fair because it was Laura Bailey. Yeah. And Laura Bailey can sing. And even though Rise doesn't sing, you can tell that Ash can't. Yeah. The whole story is about idols.

That's a bit disingenuous because the characters never sing in the game. I just said that. No, you just said the whole thing is that she sings. They don't sing in the game. I said, I just said. The work Bailey, the actor, the fans do. They don't sing in the game. It is.

Sorry, I missed that. But you can tell that she could. And she has in Golden MP4. And in the anime as well. I was hoping for a story where it's like, oh, look at these awkward nerd kids that can't dance. Slowly learn how to dance. They skip that part.

They skip that part. God damn it. No, they come in and they're like, so we've been dancing for like a month. Step it up. Yeah. Yeah. Sliding on your pants. And the storyline appears to take place in a weird place where it's after Ultimax before

the Golden's epilogue. It's all canon. Okay. So here's me and Liam talking about this little part of Metal Gear that hasn't gone yet or whatever. Like, it's canon. It is. But like, nah.

It is, though. Like, just you wish it weren't. It's like Persona Q was fucking canon, technically. It is. And that ruins a bunch of those characters. Yeah. Did you know that Shiai liked steak? Did you know that?

Did you know she likes meat? Did you know it? Did you know the only things about Shiai are kung fu and meat? Did you know that? I didn't know there was more. There is. No, there isn't, apparently. Because they don't seem to write anything else to go through her mouth?

Yeah. Don't think meat. Yeah. There is. Yeah. So that's why we're going there. Yeah, exactly. I ain't complaining.

What's up? Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's not video games. I think all the characters are weakened by their inclusion. Some of them get it good. Yosuke gets it good. And by the end, Yosuke's better for it.

But some of the others don't. I think the worst thing to happen to Persona 4 was the not thinking ahead with Johnny Yonbosh's casting. Oh, okay. It has gotten weirder and weirder with every, like, you never tell the English cast. It's inability to lock him down. No. It's the fact that Johnny Yonbosh is cast as multiple characters in Persona 4.

All the time, yeah. In English. And it's, he sounds the same as both guys. Oh. I was like, hmm. How about you, man? Oh, wait. Lee, was that your whole week?

I'm not sure if that was it. No, that's it. Go ahead, Lee. Because you kind of trailed off and I put the fucking out. No, I didn't trail off. You just interrupted me. Anyway, go ahead. I'm sorry, Lee.

No, you can take it. No, I was passing off the whole week. No, I'm sorry. Okay. So. I'm sorry. Yeah. My.

Stop fucking doing it. Go ahead, Lee. My late to the party marathon of the Separatist continues. I just finished season two. You were talking to some of my Italian friends about it. Yeah. Yeah. Getting in there, you know?

It's, man, that show is fucking me. Of course it's phenomenal. Duh. It was like, whatever, how many years ago it's like, exactly groundbreaking news. The Separatist is a pretty good show. Um, but yeah, it's also, but it's also like really harsh at like fucking brutal, fucking brutal at times. Like more women getting close, just punched in the face than like Jojo part six.

Like shit gets real, you know? Um, there's like, like it's basically like you have like the. Kind of honorable dudes that are the, the mafia, you know, And even they are not that honorable, but they know they. There's a point where they go to Italy and they meet like the real fucking Italian mafia and like those dudes are just like punching women in the face. They don't give a fuck. It's super harsh.

Um, but yeah, that's really great. Uh, I finished gangsta, which, um, ended at, uh, yeah. Episode 12 this week. And, you know, uh, yeah. I believe that was the season ender. And that is, uh, just going to lead into a tragic ass fucking story, man. Yeah. Rest in peace, man.

Manglo, the studio that animated gangsta. Shut down. Also animators of Olmenko. Also animators of Champloo and Ergo proxy. Bunch of shit. Fucking super duper good quality shit. They're done. And, and like, and when you see this and it's followed by tweets from dudes that

work, they're going urgent. I need a job. Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't feel good. It seems like all their stuff just vanished instantly. And they found out overnight. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, so. At least you have to finish. Yeah. Uh, I, I, you were mentioning that it may have damaged the art quality. And I was, I heard a rumor that it was going to, yeah, that it was going to damage the last episode, but it didn't. Uh, it was a pretty normal episode, but, um, there was no, like,

over the top expensive moments in it. I guess. Okay. You know, it was more like our sub like our part of the course. Yeah. It was more of a normal episode than a bombastic finale. Right. Right.

Um, but you know, it was, I still highly fucking recommend gangsta soundtrack for much. It was amazing. Uh, so that's really good. Finished until dawn. Finally. I get it. And I see what the deal is and everything.

And I, and I hit a point where like, right when everyone, when you guys finish it on the channel, the entire red, it just became spoilers. Whether people wanted to or not saying certain words. Yeah. Here's the chart. Exactly. Yeah. Right.

And like the first, I saw the first thing I saw was like, um, I guess we, let's not talk about the specifics. I said, until we can like get into it. Yeah. But it was just really like, okay, I have to go because right, right, right now, as soon as we're going for consultant, because I'm not going to get another chance to not be spoiled on everything. Um, the risk gets larger as time goes on.

Like, yeah. Well, like, uh, on the, on the Zivatsu Tumblr, like yesterday, it was like a photo of like every character in their end game state in our LP during the ending. Yeah. Like, so that's it. So, I mean, again, I'm just going to say that like, I kind of, I had some issues with it and like, I didn't get the perfect play through on the first try. Well, very few people do.

I feel like, I feel like it's, there's, I was surprised. I didn't manage it. I feel like there's, I feel like there's like some moments where it's like, you can definitely tell that like, yeah, you are choosing the wrong path and you got got, right? And you're like, that's deserve that character. I fucking, I blew it and they're dead. Did you fight the deer? But, but, uh, there's, there's a couple in there that are quite close.

And it's like, you just have to fucking throw the dice. And I was sure we're formal decisions and I ended up being the correct decision. You know, and, and like, there's one really bullshit. What in particular, when it comes to the black guy where it's like in the middle of the story, it's like, you can just do A or B and like, they're both equally sensible choices. Yeah. And you just, you pick the wrong one first because he does it anyway. But, um, there's that.

And there are two things I have to complain about are based on that you, it has such a shitty replayability factor because the chapter select fucking starts you an hour out from where you want to actually replay this to try something else or see something or confirm something. Like the chapter select is fine. The way it is visually represented. Select that chapter. Go into it.

There should be three little changes. Checkpoints. I don't know how difficult it would be to implement that. I have to assume that they would have done it. Combined with the lack of an ability to skip the longer, non-interactive. And I, and we talked about this is because it's like they aren't cut scenes. Yes. They're all gone.

But it's still the moments of non-decision making that, you know, you can't get past. Resident Evil 6 had the same problem and they had to patch it to put more checkpoints in because it was just not fun how long the sections were to go back. Feeling that they really wanted to play the whole game through every time. But I'd like to blow on baffles that they even have a chapter select. Yeah. Also, I had a bullshit that's accounted to a bug that is in the game where you stay still at the stay still moments.

At the last frame, it just moves on its own and says no, you move. And I'm talking like put the controller down to verify this type of shit. And you go online and other people are having this as well where, yeah, if you're unlucky, you're going to be fucking still. And then it'll be like, no, you moved. Yeah. People were saying it was a hardware issue, right? So I wasn't too sure what was happening.

No, of course, yeah. But like, it's... Well, yeah, you couldn't possibly... And it was happening to me. So that fucking fucked me, my way of thinking up as well a bit. So what's your... Are you going to get into your count? I'm getting...

No, and the last thing was the fact that you have moments in the game where you walk into a room and you see like four points of interest and you walk towards one of them and it's a fucking drop down, but it doesn't tell you what to drop down. So that point of interest was hard progress. And you're just... You're done. There's a bunch of goofy moments in that. It's like, wait, is this...

What is this? What's going to happen when I touch this door? Exactly. And the weird thing is that there are moments where the text drop down appears, but not always. It's inconsistent. So it's just like, oh fuck, you lost that room. Can I go restart that?

No? You don't have episode select until you beat the game. Fuck you. And even then, the episode select isn't like... And that was five hours into the experience and it's too many... It's too far back to even remember what chapter it was. Yeah, you shit. So, you know, like stuff like that just kind of really sours something, a part of it for

me. That being said, what was the main first play through in the story and everything is definitely what David Cage wants to do and can't for the life to pull off. And it's an amazing game, but those issues fucking suck. Really, really on this point, because the guy that plays Flamethrower guy, the actor that plays, he's also one of the writers of the game. So I heard you. And I watched a movie over the weekend that he was in and had a little bit of...

It was called We Are Still Here. Great little horror movie and he's in there and he's acting and he's like the same... Wasn't one of his posters on the wall? Yeah, a bunch of the posters in the movie. Like media room. I said this in our L.P. A bunch of the posters are all movies he worked on. Stakeland is a real big one.

I used to play at Fantasia Film Festival, Vampire, Apocalypse, whatever. And like he's apparently like very 50-50 divisive. Like he's written and been in a lot of homies and people are like, oh fucking stay away from anything. I hate his movies and what. And he did this or he did that. And then people are like, no, that guy's great or whatever. So you see on his thing, he's like 50, either a bit player in horror movies or every year

when you see 2015, he's got like 15 projects. Wow. And until Don is one of them and he got like... Did you read it? Did you look at any of the special features that you were on? Yeah. They're mostly pretty decent making guns in the game. Oh, a little interest, yeah.

They're pretty decent. They give you a real decent insight and there's the really boring ones where like, hi, I'm Rain Malick or whatever the fuck the guy's name is from Mr. Robot. It doesn't play Josh. Okay. Malick, I don't know if I'm sorry. Here's how we did our Gritting Your Teeth tech that our actors are going to do every five seconds.

I saw a comment say, I can't be the best friends. Don't know that the actors of until Don were in this, this and this. And I'm like, all three of those things. What the fuck are those things? None of those things. And I'm like, okay, we don't know that. I'm sorry I'm that 14-year-old. Yeah.

That gives a little insight. I think there was actually part where they talk about the replayability in this. Okay. I mean, you know, for what it's worth, like after I had those bullshit tests occur, I just, I stopped caring. You know, I'm like, well, fuck it. I'm just going to roll out the story and not actually agonize over these decisions and try to get it right.

Yeah. That's what a loser would say. Sure. And you know, like, oh, we see some survivors. There are two people. You wish that. This game was so smooth with that. It didn't do that, but I like that.

It's such a clear, like, pause, load the line, you know. Because you know how the sauce works. Yes. Yeah. But it was a line that was so clearly like, this is going to be the dynamic one for you. That's how you want it to be. This is the one, the line prepared for you.

Yeah, of course. Yeah. But that was, you know. Make a dream catch. Make a dream catch. Make a dream catch noise. Yeah. And the last thing is I beat Undertale and all I can say.

Yeah. Usually people start by saying, oh, is it the highest rated PC game of all time? It's the highest rated Metacritic game of all time. That's not going to last life. That's the most sensational headline. All I can say is after all the hubbub and the guys need the huge push and the aggressive levels of people getting in touch and the slow beat being like cancel your other LPs. Please burn them down.

It's a huge charming game. And then it gets to its ending sequence. Because I heard you say words like girl, Laga. It's the ending. I did the neutral ending. Yeah. Not the perfect one. And not the no mercy one.

And the neutral ending is a fucking 11. It's unbelievably awesome how this thing escalates. And like, you don't see that. Without a matter, a lot of people I see get a lot of messages about Undertale. But mostly it's like this is our one LP. Maybe in the future. If you play it as a slaughterer, the game is very, very different. But for now, it's just the one LP because we can barely fit this into the schedule now.

We were rolling our eyes in that conversation where we were saying, well, three videos a day, I guess. And I'm sure people are going to be yelling at it points, but it's like... Most people are like, oh, do pass it. The pass was the best. Some people are like, no, the game is so spooky and scary if you start killing everything. And it actually changes the tone. Things change, exactly. But ultimately, there's going to be things where it's like...

Because I tried a pacifist run and failed to be a pacifist. So that's what I'm trying to say is that there are moments... Did you make a mistake? Like, did you over hit something? Or was it you just didn't know how to do it? No, there are moments where it is not easy to figure out how to be a pacifist. But you stopped. I can't figure it out.

And you just killed it? Or did you make a mistake? No, I just... I stopped trying. It was the first boss, right? That's one of them. Yeah. One of them?

That's one of them. That's not the only one. Everyone that played the game on day zero was the test fed guinea pig. Pretty much. And the thing is, quite frankly, you can try to figure it out. And Cranky did, at least. And he got through it about a perfect pacifist run. First time, which I'm like, all right, it takes a lot of observation.

All you got to do is not hit the attack button. But no. Because sometimes you're going to have to. Sometimes you have to, but never just don't let it kill you. I don't want to spoil, but it's unclear at moments. But yeah, the thing about it is when you do the neutral path, you do get a thing that's like, okay, well, now you want to try the perfect path. There are things that have permanent consequences.

Things you need to be aware of that I'll just kind of give you big guidance. But imagine beating like one on one and getting that ending. And then it's like, okay, cool. That was the neutral ending. Like, holy shit. That's amazing. Can't wait. Fucking good game.

Can't wait. Fucking good game. I'm keen to see it. Oh yeah. That's me. Uh, video game wise, I'm going to play anything. Like I played more before. Did you just play anything?

Like, I was doing a lot of, like last week I alluded to it. I've been doing a lot of paperwork and doing something. I'm moving. I'm moving next month. So I have to do a bunch of shit. I have to fucking call Hydro and fight with them. Apparently I have to fight with them. Yeah.

I mean, it always depends, but like I fight with them. I gotta do that. I gotta get insurance. I gotta pack your baby into a box. That's right. That's what happens. I gotta do all sorts of fucking adult shit. It's the worst.

Interesting. I've never had to fight with them. I've never had to fight with them. Is that their automatic payment system is just busted. This doesn't work. Okay. Yeah. And then my bank is like, it's their problem.

And then when I call Hydro, they're like, fuck you. And then they just pay it manually. Shut up. And I'm like, okay. Sorry, sir. You give me power. Well, the most trouble I had was when I moved to a part of the city that's not under their control.

What? Underground with the Morlock? Yeah. I've been a part of the city where I'm not on their network. Yeah. I'm on our area has its own fucking power. Weird. And you don't, you're not a part of Hydro Quebec anymore.

I used to live there and they just buy the electricity. Hydro Quebec. But the infrastructure is a whole other thing. Just the payment. But you cut off your account and you're not dealing with those people anymore. Yeah. You're dealing with these people. But it's cheaper.

It's way better. It is. It is. But like that was the most like confusing original thing. Yeah. But even then it was more or less fine. You just go, I'm not paying you anymore. Yeah.

It's like the math, like I have 14 dancing online, math, bachelor party and that fucking shit. Like not a whole lot going on with me. All right. My way. All right. What about, you know, I can't think of anything you did. No.

I'm trying. You guys were spending time together. Fuck. Well, it's like, we were like group activity. Yeah, exactly. It's like an unusual game, et cetera. So it's like, huh, what? And you gave your thoughts and danced moments.

Yeah. Fucked up. All right. Oh, the only other thing of note is like completely fucked up and shown up to a doctor's appointment at nine PM at night to a builder. I remember that. Yeah. To a building that was completely sealed off and wandered in when the security guard

was on break and then he came back out and was like, what are you doing in here? So was it nine? In a totally empty waiting room in a scary hospital. And he's like, what are you doing? I have an appointment. It's like, no, you don't. We're the nine AM. What the fuck is wrong with you?

The person, the receptionist on the phone told me nine PM. Oh, wow. Okay. It's a very odd time. And for some reason, this is where I made the mistake. I did not at any point think in my mind, wait a second, that's stupid. That place isn't going to be open. Why would you question her?

Exactly. Exactly. And I even remember being on the phone and being like, wow, that's pretty late for a doctor's appointment. It is. And she's like, yeah, I guess. The doctors are at home eating. Yeah.

They're giant mansions. I got a fucking, oh, I got an all sorts of paperwork. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it so much. They should just take paperwork and put in the garbage. Things should just happen. Really quickly.

I did play a game very, very quickly. Put this out to Willy. For whatever reasons, I downloaded a game called Afro Samurai II, Revenge of Puma. For whatever reasons. Oh, you did good. I booted it up. I played it for two minutes. I sat down the controller.

I turned off my console. I went to bed and I was like starting to smile. That's the greatest game I've ever played. I was like, Willy's going to play this. Man. We got to take a look at that, my friend. Fuck you. I went to the game that surpassed Revenge of Puma.

That story is so stupid and I'm going to tell it. That's the greatest. Anyway. Did we tell it? No, we told it. Once upon a time, it got said, I think I might have full of pockets. Standing in line, talking to the three of you. It was after we got those semi free games.

To go trade in. Motherfucker. That button basher was no good. Yeah. You're so buttered overall. I hope you drop those out again. It was. You mean Best Buy.

Let's start out with the stabbing in the back. Oh no. Bleeding with an open wound. Because as he tweeted, let me get it open here. Yeah. Oh no. I've been stabbed in the back. He wants to plan things for the Mexico and Brazil events.

But New York festival has to get out of his way. Comic Con? Yeah. Because basically. That's like this month. Yeah. Basically Street Fighter. We want to come to that.

Street Fighter 5 character reveals. We got a two for one special this time. Yeah. Got lucky. So the cyclone is back as he is. Unchanged. Well, visually. Not a single hair on his head is different.

He's musclier maybe. A little bit redder. You know the three characters. I am not interested in the most in Street Fighter 5. Ryu, Chun-Li, and Zengi. None of them are visually interested. Okay. I'm like of all the characters.

They're not any different. I'm least excited for them. I hear you. Because I've seen you a million times. Rear did. Texty Ryu is cool. Yeah. But like the default presentation.

This is what we were presenting to you. Yeah. But even Cammy has a few things a little different. Like she's got little belts here or whatever. And bison. I'm not saying of that. I'm not saying I'm not going to play them. But like when I think about it.

When I think about every other character. Yeah. Yeah. Chun-Li is definitely my least and elevated by far. It's amazing. Because it really. I love Chun-Li. For me it's Cammy.

It's always. It's totally cosmetic. But yeah. You do want drastic changes. To feel like time. A little drastic. Well just you want to feel like time is passing. You only know it's like almost just barely enough against slight redesign in Street Fighter

4. Right. Or a little hairline. That's why it's like with the Cammy thing. It's like there's elements of the old Cammy costume that I like better. But I'm more than okay with this. Because I'm glad they did something different. I would love it if Chun-Li's default was just her alpha costume.

Because I love her outfit. Alpha gear. That one too. The uh. It makes no sense. You'd be wearing it. But. Yeah.

But again. You know we're going to be getting like the quote unquote story costumes. Yeah. That are going to be the different ones. Yeah. Right. Like if Zangief just had like the like his original art in Street Fighter 2. He has like a little red tem top on.

Yeah. Right. Right. Like just a little shirt. And it's because it's not in the actual game. Yeah. But I mean he's still like. Well he still looks cool.

And now I'm sure you guys would get to it. But what do you think about that. That. Super. Well it's just straight up like. Okay. What grappler innovations have occurred. In the time.

You have it right now. What grappler innovations have occurred in the time that Zangief has been around. Well. Matt Tag-Tager. Yeah. Happened. Also Air Force. Happened.

Yeah. Right. So you just straight up add that onto him to make it. Right. He's got a lot of armor. He's got magnetism. He's got air throws. But he doesn't have green hand.

Because here's the thing. Which is crazy. Here's the thing. Right. Zangief is supposed to be. The. The most complete grappler. Right.

But over time. He stopped doing that. Because fucking. Tager and Potemkin and those guys came around. Crazy new shit. And then fucking. What's his name. Beowulf.

Beowulf jumped on the scene. Exactly. And you're like. Ah shit. Where you at. So now. He's back with more throws than ever. No green hand.

Like you said. No green hand. No. Crazy. No. No. Quick pressure tool like that. Did he still have his laria?

Yes. Yeah. Both versions of it. He still has two versions. But one has cooled down on it. Oh. Okay. And his little pose afterwards.

Oh cool. That's probably the one that goes through fireballs. Yeah. More special buttons than he's ever had. Yeah. And his fucking V trigger and V skill being super weird. But cool. The V trigger.

The trigger. Like he does a laria that sucks you in. Yeah. Magnet. Power. And the skill when he eats hits. Like super armor. It's a focus attack slash the car.

And then he can hit you with a little baby attack. Put you in a throw setup. Yeah. And when both of them together gives him infinite super armor. If you decide to do that. It's scary. And then you can of course hold the turbine attack to just do hits. Yeah.

And like get the car boat. Or you can use it to set up. And in the trailer when he uses his turbine. Like the fireball just goes right through his body. Like he's not even there. Yeah. Of course he's invincible to fireballs. So it's super fucking cool.

It's scary. And like it seems really powerful. Yeah. But it's cool. But it's something you need something that good to make up for the lack of green hands. Yeah. Because you know. Because green hands amazing.

It's such an amazing thing. And it's not immediately apparent why it's amazing. Whereas this is you're going to get it right away. Yeah. Exactly. I want a zone. No you're not. His new stage looks really cool too.

Yeah. That goddamn critical art. It looks so but it looks totally unfinished. It needs more. It looks like you're not sure what they're going. I'd say it's final. I'm not really sure what you're going for. It's so unclear what they're going for that I feel like it's a reference to some anime

we know. Yeah. Yeah. It is so specific. He grabs and does a suplex. He just flexes a little bit more. And then shuds you further to the ground. That's it.

But then there's no follow-up slants. Wait. Where's the second suplex? What happened to that? Or the third. Or they spit nothing. It's not like a thing. You know the final hit of when you do Alex's super from behind.

Yeah. One, two, three, four. And the last one is I think they're trying to go for that. But you either need two or three suplexes before that or there needs to be some other thing to really wind up. And do it. But it's just like a regular suplex and then just like bam, bam. Of delayed impact.

You know, ultras were a bit too long, but nobody minds a grappler's ultra going on a bit too long. Right? Where's that for Siberian blizzards to? Even a third strike a game that has like very, very fast supers. Like Hugo Super's not second long. Yeah. Gag is right here.

I want my ground. And that's cool. That's what you want. I want my SPD that hits the ground but keeps spitting. Yeah. Into a laryon. Yeah. And when I look at his moveset, I noticed that his running baricrab, it no longer does

a power bomb. It does a move where you see him like jump. Like do a upside down piledriver. Yes. But you never, ever see the close version of that. And I believe that that might be because the close version of that isn't there anymore because that's two German suplexes with a huge jump that would look way better than the critical art.

Well, I mean, that's about the reason. Like the Siberian suplex? We'll see if it's there. But that wouldn't be, but that's not a reason. Because like Teen Hawk had a super that was way cooler looking than his ultra. Yeah. That was the worst. It was such a reversal of like damaged feels.

I'm actually worried that that is finished and that's what they're going for. Because we show as a finished trailer of a character's super. Yeah. Please. That's a four able super was not finished. Oh, I mean, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's true.

It was a bunch of kicks. And then it changed in the beta when the trailer was whatever. It's like, well, let's say please someone find us the manga page. That's being referenced. Yeah, exactly. Because it's so weird and not cool. Yeah. Back to the rap word.

And then the two for one is back over the grappy. I was about to say. Perfect. Back over the grappy. Once again, once again, fucking from it's always, always, always. Something that was the real hype. Uh-oh. We uploaded too many pictures in the Zangief gallery.

All new challengers. Check it out. It's Laura. What's one of the coolest new fighters to ever be in Street Fighter? A bunch of people start tweeting at me going, wow. So how much do you hate Laura? Isn't it her? Like how her hair is long?

Don't you just hate it? But it's also short. Is she gross? And I'm like, no. Are you out of your mind? No, here's the thing. I don't completely blame those people. Yeah.

We say, hey, will you like girls with short hair? But I know you better. Like, that's just the surface level knowing. As soon as I saw Laura, I was like, oh my God. Willie, Willie is Randy Marsh at a computer right now. Dude. Oh, yeah. Have you, because I asked you questions like that.

Have you seen any other character in fighting games with hair like that? I will give you a no, sir. Therefore, it's awesome. It's awesome. Fucking good job, Capcom. I've seen a guy that said, oh, I hate her because she's got screw-ups haircut. Hey, that's dumb. I hate this character because their hairstyle, which is the most interchangeable thing ever.

Like, you can put a hair on anybody. She will almost certainly have multiple questions. And he, it's not screw-ups, it's hairstyle. It braids on half. Yeah. Like, he's had lots of different hairstyle. With moves on the other half. He shames his head.

I'm not going to put anything. And all I know is that it's the coolest hair on a woman in fighting games right now. It's beautiful. So, Ken Mogard vindicated once again. Very vindicated. Yeah. How is he not killed? Because he's French.

How has Capcom braids? I haven't killed him yet. They never got to kill Bupinco. It's true. His commentary is too strong. Okay. If Yipe started leaking shit, he'd get a free pass. Yeah.

Ah, would you like to go to school? When, when, so when this, sorry, guys. So, I was just going to say, my main thing is that, like, I saw people going to me growing like, oh, she's so bland and unoriginal and whatever. What? And I go, listen, okay. You, I'm, I'm a very visual guy that if I see a piece of art or a concept art, I immediately like go, I like that or I don't.

And I think what people are going for is that I saw Rashid's intro with his music and stoopers and his animation. I saw Nikali. And I said, Nikali and both Rashid, they're fine, but I'm kind of indifferent. I really like Rashid. She looks kind of boring visually, actually. But, but I hear you. They're not that at all.

They're not that. They're not that. They're not that. They're not that. They're not that. They're not that. They're not that. They're not that.

They're not that. But I hear you. They're not that at all. Yeah. But I'm just like, I think that that character is going to be doing anything for me. But I see this one and I just see cocky tough woman that can beat her. Great can reuse arm. Great can reuse arm.

And that visual of her giving him like an arm break. I'm like, that looks so cool. It's such a great job. Calling him a fuck boy. I understand that people, I understand that people don't see her trailer. You don't get a sense of her music. You don't get a sense of her voice. You don't get like how kinetic her animations are.

And they'll be like, well, she's not doing it for me. I'm like, that's fine. But like, people are just like, she's the bullet. She's the bullet. Look at how she planned. Yeah. So we got, we got traces of Capoeira, what seems to be mostly Brazilian jujitsu. And the traditional.

Brazilian. Brazilian. Elevator. Elevator power. It is electricity. It should be fair. Made in people in Brazil. It's really summoning that, that right in power.

So good. Yeah. And the other, the other thing coming in was like, oh, how butthorpe is really bad now, but the Brazilian is not like someone else. And again, I would know that we'll need to. That's fine. I am beyond spoiler to an embarrassment of riches is this cast. I am so unsure of who to main.

I don't need one or care of Lancas in the game. I was, I was screaming. He was never my favorite character. He's the character I'm good with. There's a difference. I've, I've been screaming for new characters like the whole time. Like, and I wanted a new grappler and they're like, okay, here's your old man. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. It's fine. It's so fine that like, you know, I don't get the guy that I've been playing for the last fucking how many years. Nine, you know what I mean? Seven to 10.

It's fucking hell. Five guys. Like, like, and it's, you know, there are people complaining that the, the, the almost all the world warriors are there. Um, the originals. Uh, currently right now, only Galsim, uh, Balrog and the God are missing. Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I know of those three. The only one that pains me is, is Boxer. I kind of wish Balrog was in there too. But I wish, I wish it was Boxer too. The little girl. The little girl.

And she's going to do every dash punch with a second hit. No, but, but I wanted to be Balrog in her body. And so like, when she does the head bug still, I'd rather have Sagat than Bison, but Bison like it's still awesome. I'm not going to. I knew Bison's too cool for me. I got it. I got to go with it.

I just like. Yeah. It's also, it's also like, when it comes to fighting styles, diversity, dictator is like a class of his own. And Sagat is a show girl. Shout outs to that bug where, uh, Bison is teleporting without the trigger pops. And it's just like, what the fuck is happening in this build? That's a dollar change.

Yeah. Yeah. So we'll see. It's also starting to look like Mikali is the last boss. Yeah. Totally. It's starting to seem like that's going to be the case. His one quotes are very suspicious.

Yeah. And he, and it's like, they just, they revealed him nice and early. So you didn't think so. But it's, but it's maybe it's like, no, he's a tribal guy that's discovered. I've always been too like the Satsuno Hado. The Satsuno Hado. The final boss is, especially in day one games. I'm always like, cause you, like, you don't seem like the final boss if you're playable

off the start. But I know it's like, because why would you lock a character away? Yeah. But like, I'd like him to be a DLC character. In the end, in the end, in the end, it's, it's for the best. Your chess pieces are all on the board. And it's like, one of them is going to be a queen. But.

That metaphor doesn't work that way. Yeah, it doesn't. I know. But what I mean, though, is that like, you don't want to have the fucking, You don't want to be missing a character. Even if it's for story purposes. Yeah. It lets the boss be a million times cooler than Seth.

Yeah. You know, like just have, have the, have their, the boss version of the character exist if you want to have a special cinematic thing. And if all you, and V-Trigger makes it perfect. He stays, he's popped all the time. Yeah. Bam. Done.

Yeah. No, that's, that's, that's a fine thing. He started off with a meter gain. And hell, throw another paddle, throw on him. How about this? How about this? He starts popped and he has a costume that you're not going to be able to buy for a while. Well, perfect.

That, but also the Chinoff and corrupted Chinoff and MKX is the other example. Right. Right. Like that's, that's a fair compromise. Yeah. Have one be a real character and have one be like a bunch of bullshit. Yeah. Like from our work.

That's what I like. I really hope that, I really hope that like the event in New York will reveal to me. What's going on? What's going on with Mike? Okay. When's the event in Mexico? Did that just happen? No, it's happening after New York.

New York is this month. Okay. So it's Brazil and New York. Mexico. Mexico. Didn't you say Ono said New York is. He wants New York to get out of his way so that he can make the Brazil. Oh, so he hates the country coming out of here.

So that he can make the Brazil show better. Okay. Because basically he's like, because basically the tweet more or less implied. Oh shit. Fuck. Okay. We got to do, we got to do more to make that show better because we already know what the reveal is.

So he needs something else. Yeah. He's so jazzed up a little bit. To punch it up. Okay. Considering what they've been doing. When I see that, that tour, I see Alex. Yep.

Laura and Urien. Yep. And see, even if it's not Alex, here's the, what? But I think Urien, like I'd love it to be Urien, but it's probably going to be Dalsum. In Mexico? Yeah. The great Mexican character, Dalsum. Maybe there was nothing on the schedule happening in New Gaelic.

Yeah. I was going to say that if in New York, let's say they don't reveal Alex, who do you think I would then want to replace him? Ingrid. God. Ingrid? Yeah. If not you.

If not Alex. No, I know who. I know who. I can't say too much because then you'll instantly know. Because look, the off look, the guess would be like Cody, but I know it's not Cody. It's you want fucking Jean Renault. Yes. Thank you.

I want Tom. You want. If Tom worked out, you'd be even better if the trailer, Alex, blah, and then Tom pushes him aside. That's what I want. That would be awesome. That would be awesome. Yeah.

I'm going to get revenge for the guy then. One day. One day, man. Because you know what you need to see at the very least, if it is Alex or Patricia, you need to see Tom. You need to see Tom's 3D model in his ending just so you know. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Like, like Sin showed up in the Guilty Gear arcade thing before he was announced. And you're like, come on, guys. Fucking modeled him, you assholes. You don't do this for no one. Yeah. Yeah. That would be awesome. So 3.5.5 is going to be terrible.

It's going to be the worst game. The worst game. When do you think we're actually going to get a trailer for? What's the time frame on that? The Brazil show. The Brazil show. Now I'm mixing up the Brazil show and the Mexico show. I don't know.

Anyway. Yeah. Because I really want to see a trailer. I want to hear a voice. Imagine if she just had this, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, like this horrible cattle or something. And that might ruin the character. I like, you know it's going to be, I want to hear the dub voice. That's the thing.

Yeah. Because you know the Japanese women are just going to be some Japanese tough girl. But you want to hear the accent. You want to see if they're going to have a kid. You want to see if they go Vasquez or Maid. Salma Hayek, perhaps. Yeah. Like maybe a little bit of that.

No Vasquez. That's not going to go. I'm sure. That's not going to go that way. No. Right. EGS Mexico is happening. I can't read that.

I don't know. It's not in English. It is. Whatever. I don't care how unpopular he is. He's really unpopular. Round two DLC. So you want the character you like.

That's right. Okay. Round two DLC along with, along with Jury. Yeah. He has some other games in 2001. Yo, let's talk about Shadow Jago. No way. He's been in the game.

Tell me about Shadow Jago. Shadow Jago, after the, after the real boy edition announcement, now there's, they are followed with the Hollywood announcement, which is Keats giving an update on what they're doing to him. There's a bunch of little minor changes, but the most interesting major changes is instinct mode. Oh, no. So Shadow Jago's instinct mode is called sharing, right?

It's called shadow symbiosis. Okay. And what it is, is he can either hit you with an endocrine can or teleport or dash through you. And that'll create a shadow tether. Okay. So what happens with the shadow tethers now is he can do, he has a special ability to use his special moves.

Surge, I believe. Surge is exactly. Okay. It's like exing his moves. Okay. Yeah. Not supers. Is that like how they do it in like injustice and stuff where you press a button?

Yeah. Meter burn. Okay. Yeah. You double tap. Yeah. Okay. So what he'll do is it'll, it costs a bit of meter for him to search his moves.

When tethers with you, he, it costs him half of his meter and half of yours to do build the amount that it would take normally, right? Or he can press two fierces like the activation for instinct mode, do a little taunt and get a bar, but you get a bar as well. Oh, that's cool. While you're tethered. While tethered. Wow.

That's really cool. Yeah. Exactly. So what happens if you run out of meter? Because it just start pulling more from his pool? No. You then you back off and taunt and then give him meter, but you give yourself a light. But like say they have none and you have one, it'll take 100% of a meter from you.

Probably. Probably. Yeah. Makes you wonder how, like how granular it can get with percentages. Well, because the cool thing is that he didn't do a three. Is that good? Yeah. But it'd be great to give the guy one and then just start spending the meter you gave

him right away. Yeah. Did you see what ultimate, the company is making the action figures, they've been giving out little prizes at tournaments for killer instinct and there are a bandana that you can put around your face. Like Jago. Yeah. The shadow Jago one.

So it's this purple, blueish skull thing. So you see guys at tournaments playing with it and they're like, yo, more shadow Jago bandana throw. Yeah. Yeah. The new horse heads. The new horse heads. Yeah.

Nothing I'll ever do. The one you could play with. Nothing I'll ever do. Horsehead Makoto. The recipe. Dude, the Marvel finals at that one tournament where they were both in horse heads. Like legendary. Those guys are pros.

Legendary. That's anti-collusion. Yeah. You're sabotaging yourself. Together. You both can't win. So it's not directly related to fighting games, but it is indirectly related to fighting games.

Of course it is. Lab Zero's RPG Indivisible is now up on Indiegogo as of yesterday. I like how they went with Indiegogo again because they had such a positive. Yeah. A lot of people don't even try Indiegogo. That's it. I'm sure their needs were met and they're like, all right, let's go with this again. Yeah, definitely.

So Indivisible. Indiegogo is a side-scrolling RPG. It's the same style. You've got the same voice from Lab Zero. That's a much bigger goal than I thought. I thought that said 1,500 million dollars. No. So they're going for 1.5 million and it seems like they're going for the massive full-load

RPG experience. Yeah. You know, bearing in mind that squiggly costs $600,000. How'd you go about $150,000? Well, no, that topped out at $600,000. But there was other things besides that. Yeah, it was like four or five characters. Oh, shit.

It was partnership with 505. 505 has been publishing a lot of cool stuff lately. Oh, they've been terrible for years. They were, but they're doing a lot better. So you want to make you watch that? Sorry. Say, you know, you watch the trailer and like it, you see the art style running at a really cool 60.

Looking nice. And the combat looks like they're going for a Tales of? No, no, no, no. It's Valkyrie profile. Is it Valkyrie? Hey, Mountain said yo, Valkyrie profile. Okay. Okay.

It's raw Valkyrie profile. And they put out a playable alpha build and it's fun. It plays good, actually. Yeah. I haven't got my hands on it yet. No, it's good. But I got a little tweet from the Skullgirls Twitter. Yeah.

It's just like, stay wooly. There's an NPC tier. Yeah. I see you. I see you. The game was really good. Yeah, man. You can play this right now.

This bit that you're all of this is all. Yeah. It's all of the thing. But now we see why we think it might have been because it kind of looks like an actually non-Dalton. But what, what, wait till the fight starts. Okay. So these, okay.

So these are just little basic not really fights, but like when you do, when you do more than 30%. Alex Ahad. It's like her family just not really strong. Oh, there's probably likes it. Yeah. She's got the fucking. The Metroid.

Oh, there you go. There you go. Yeah. Oh, I see the Valkyrie profile influences. Yeah. And there's juggling and everything. Just like you'd expect. Hey, look, it's a system that's in some way similar to cross boring, but it's not boring.

What's super. Go ahead. There's a super meter too. And you could hold a button and then press that character's face button for them to do a super attack in place of their normal attack. And like that mechanics really, really fun. What's really interesting is like watching another game that uses all the hit collision styles of Skullgirls.

Yeah. And you feel the, the, the, the, the labs, your touch there. You're like, oh shit. That's the noise. You know, there's a little squishiness to every cut and hit. Right. It reminds me of the same feeling is with them fighting her. One that they do a super.

And in this game, you also do a super. And you hear that flash. The exact same change of yellow. It's the scream. And it's noise. It's the noise that you're used to. Yeah. Because it seems like like a fantasy, martial artsy thing.

But indivisible is like a thing I thought would like a spy espionage sort of name for that. Okay. So it's kind of a confusing name to you. We'll see. We'll see. No, much of it. No, but it seems like the visual.

You can't divide that shit. The aesthetic they're going for is like, uh, old Indian like, uh. Mayan. Okay. I think so. Because I thought of a God that she turned into kind of reminded me of. Yeah. The blue skin.

No, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. Because it had like the head like the Buddhist kind of. Yeah. No, you're totally not wrong. But then they said that like it starts in like a Mayan inspired place and then it goes like world trekking. Okay.

You had a different place. Okay. But yeah, definitely some Indian stuff in the initial areas. There's also a woman who wears a tiger, um. The tiger skin. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Um, right there.

Yeah. But, uh, yeah. So this, this 1.5 million is, uh, all $1,000, you get an NPC. It's the Indian logo fees. The 1.5 million is 100% going towards game development. And they were very clear that, um, basically, uh, 505 is going to be providing QA and publishing to them like of their own accord, right? Of their own money.

This money is all 100%. One for making the game. 120 goes to Indiegogo. The rest is all for the game. At the end of the day, Skogroz made it to like 800,000. Yeah. It's like 600 and something. Yeah.

Something like that. So like, I hope that, I hope that. They did good. And they actually over delivered on their promise. Yeah. So I, I would love lab zero to become the household name that I think they can. If that makes any sense. It's going to take a minute.

But for sure. It'll take five to 10 more years. Yeah. Right. They'll get there. More projects. They'll get there. Like big, huge games would be that now, if they put games out slightly more often.

Right. With Bastion and Transistor. But like, even like Regina. But you know how it's like you, you, you. Oh, you're totally right. Yeah. You're totally right. I'm sorry.

Uh, great pass has been on all those guys around. Um, you're, you're giant, you're big company. Great big games. But like, you know, you think of like. Somewhat large. You think of like vanilla where you go. You know, there's an art style. There's a look to that.

You know what you're kind of getting with that. Yeah. For sure. And you want to go like, yeah, lab zero. There's a body of work and it has that style. Anyway. Uh, so originally this story was, uh, some kind of SMT social media campaign is going on. We don't know what it is, but they want 15,000 tweets.

And on my way here, that story then updated to Shin Megami Tensei for final has been announced. And it's coming out fucking tomorrow. Every game should have a subtype. It's coming out on February 10. Uh, so this is not a remix. Not a remake. A remake. Not a updated release.

It is SMT for two million. Yes. Basically. So if anyone is familiar with the old Persona games, the most obvious analogy here is Persona 2 Innocence Sim, which is followed by Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, which is at same area. Some of the same people sequel in story because of the weird stuff that happened. Totally different game. And, uh, from what people were saying, there appears to be some form of time travel element

to this game, which if you finished SMT4, you would be, yeah, there's room. There's room. Any SMT game ever. There's room for some irresponsible time travel. Let's go. Let's take a trip back to the glorious kingdom of Mikado. Oh. Oh.

Yo. Hi. What? Go to that neutralizer. I have a save that's like all fucked up and has like all my old demons on it. Like in the, I went for the shitty new game plus where you just cheat. Yeah. So, of course.

It's within my power. It's within my power to just do it. Get it done. Get it done. You're going to need it too. And you have a time limit now. Well, he's got another year. I'm sure I get.

No, no. SMT4 got localized in two months. Remember? That's true. That was the fastest ever. Yeah. No, that's true. That was pretty quick.

I cue the gifts of buds, buddy. Sign Europe off the map. Oh, yeah. Exactly. Blame Nintendo. It's not. They started it. It's not 100% Alice's fault.

It's Nintendo for region locking in the first place. That time they region locked it on PS3 though. That was all that. That was all Alice's fault. That time. Yeah. Hideki Kamiya says scale bounds hero was originally a heroine. And the game was.

You injected her into your butt. The game was. The game was. Yeah. Not good ones. The game was about a girl that was really good at communicating with dinosaurs. Yeah. And then.

It was really neat to read all this because it really felt like the genesis of an idea more than this, more than that. Back in 2006, they wanted this to be a Wii game. Yeah. And then. And made prototypes. Yeah. But then projects came out and then 101 came out.

And then. By that point. And Kamiya's mind. It had turned into. We accidentally made out wonderful 101. And then decided let's put more action into this idea. And now we've got Drew. It's probably better for it.

Cause like I like the combination of combat and scale bounds looked really fun. Having like Drew's combat and the dragon stuff happening at the same time. To be honest, I wish you had choice to do playable characters. Oh, sure. Cause I can't wait for the Platinum game. It gives you two characters. I would like to have seen like. Did you play or whatever the girl?

Did you play Max Anarchy? That's true. That's true. Couple characters. You're right. You're right. But it wasn't. You're right.

They didn't have the moveset. No. Couple of attention to the detail that goes into Beyo. Yeah. Put into like a second. The second dragon. Not like a jump. Yeah.

I would have liked to see the girl. And like, cause Drew, all fine. Still never like, I think, I think I kind of said like his color scheme is just very. From afar, at least it's very gray and bland. It's only until he powers upward. Like, yeah, he's got some more stuff. Usually going on. But otherwise he's, he's the blandest Platinum guy I've ever seen.

I think man, I think you're maybe three or four good one liners away from being. Yeah, no. No. No. Personally, why sure? But like, am I wrong in saying that? You're not. You're not.

I think he looks the right color scheme for the game, which is all very green and blue. But what I mean to say is that. A little bit washed out. Would you say he's the most charismatic and visually interesting Platinum hero? No. But then again, I thought Wonder Red was going to be the least charismatic. Yeah. He turned out to be the best.

That's a good one too. Fair enough. Because yeah, when I think about it, I'm like, yeah, Wonder Blue. No. Wonder Red. Let's see who the Borkin is going to be. Yeah, okay. And we'll make sure.

I want, I want it. I want the Borkin to be a very small dragon with a Titan. Yeah. Just flip it around. Just one hundred percent. Speaking of Titans, it's not on the docket. But there is a quick leak that popped up of Attack on Titan season two. Yeah.

Yeah, I saw it. So was that from the second movie cinematic video? No. Because all the little girls in the audience are giggling and talking amongst themselves and they wouldn't do that at dinner. Oh no. That was some other show. Because I saw it and I was like, oh, what is this from?

But yeah, I watched it. That was some other show. That's some stuff going on in there. That show is going to continue. That preview is probably like the biggest example of the seawall. Like I've ever seen in anything. I think it could have been that, what they did, or it could have just been a picture of a door.

And it would have been equally as fucking powerful. With a big sensor sign on it. It's like, no. That's the one thing I've gleaned from people reading the manga is, are you at the door? Nope. Still no door. And the door has become Guts's book. Yeah, I was about to say.

That's the sexiest door. I sure hope they model Mikasa and her personality over on the live action, superior Mikasa. Eat this apple. I can't wait to see what it is behind the door that ruins the block. Guts has been on that boat my entire adult life. He's been on that door. My entire adult life. Guts has been on that fucking boat.

The boat is a door that he's surfing. Holy shit. One third strike came out and he got off the boat. Crazy. You open up the door and attack on Titan. He's on the L Highland. And then Guts shows up. They're traveling to the same location.

The God Hand has been sending Titans. We thought it was funny. We trolled you. Ubisoft put up a stream earlier today and it's really unclear where it is, but it might be the announcement of a new franchise. I actually got leaked just a minute ago and I have it handy. What this was up until I got here was a picture of a paint drawing and the words survival is timeless.

The final announcement is Far Cry Primal. Is it Far Cry Primal Instincts? There's pretty much not much known about it, but it's cavemen doing Far Cry stuff. I'm fine with cavemen and monsters and prehistoric shit. Yeah, that's good. Just treat it. I don't mind that. Okay.

That's good stuff. That's a good setting. That's a good one as well. What was that fucking Xbox exploit game? Zero something? Zero. Oh, Xenoclash. Xenoclash.

Oh, okay. Yeah. That is a very different game. Yes. We did a video of it like two years ago who were like, fuck this. Throw in the garbage. That video is terrible. I didn't know what to do with that.

I don't even have the wrong pausing right now. And he almost never do it himself. All right. We've got two tethered stories here. Oh, yeah. I love this. It's the best. Can you just read the...

A burnout HD collection. Is it coming anytime soon? I guess this is in response to fans, like some fans asking. X Criterion folks have planned a burnout spiritual successor. There we go. There we go. So I think it's like, fuck you businessman. Actual Criterion or EA said we're working on many things, but burnout is not one of

them. Yeah. And then I didn't know that Alex Ward, the head of Criterion had left. Oh, I had no idea. What? No. Criterion's not really dead. I thought they split into Criterion and Ghostlight games and then Ghostlight games continue to

exist in Criterion and... Who the fuck? Black box. That's a different developer. No. Okay. But all you know is that actual Criterion are in the need for speed minds and they will never emerge.

Well, no, that's black light. Well, you remember Burnout Paradise 2 was straight up turned into need for speed most wanted. So I want to think that like dudes met and had everything set ready to go and the finger over the press release publish button was hovering. Swapped out. And then the moment the story went live, they just fucking pushed it. But yeah, this new startup of X Criterion.

Alex Ward was the head of Criterion for years and years and years. I didn't know that he left and is now in this company or whatever. But they're making some other game. And then I think it says that after that game is released, we're going to start working on a successor to Burnout. I'm like fucking finally. And please Burnout 2 to 3. Not any after that.

2 to 3. I left 2 a lot. You know what? Let's parent that. Let's just say Burnout 3. Let's just say Burnout 3. You don't even need the range. It's like when you go all the way up to Tony Hawk 12 and you're like fuck it 5.

There was no numbers. It's fine. There was a number. Tony Hawk's Project 8. But it wasn't 8. It was Project 8. Fuck you. That is an absurd thing to say.

That is totally not. That's nonsense. Well Project 8 did take into account that Underground and Underground 2 and American Wasteland. Yes. So actually it makes sense. There was no Pro Skater 5. I feel so bad. And there still is no Pro Skater 5.

They're right. As far as I can see. That never got released. Not my Pro Skater. They swaggered up to the plate with all the confidence and pointed at the stands calling for that whole game. Babe Ruth style. Yeah.

Swung and fucking landed on their ass. Yeah. And wasted the 5. They wasted the number. I've never seen the baseball photo back out of hell. Yeah. Because that is what happened. But this is like this company Robo Robomondo.

Robomondo. He kept worse. Yeah. Like I think Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Yeah. Okay. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 HD. Yeah.

That one. I don't have photo. I've seen this. The HD Tony Hawk 2 that they got. The remix. Yeah. It was playable. It was.

It was shameful that they fucked up an HD collection of what are essentially quite simple arcade games. Yeah. But yeah. It's unfortunate because we do know they had to rush it out like crazy because Activision's rights were expired. That deal is going to expire. That money's on the table.

But it's not. But it's just so tragic. It's like. No it is tragic. Because it's like to me it's like it's like not even news. It's just disappointing. It's like you knew you have to go back to the basics. You said okay let's use the number and we're going to just take what used to be good and

make the GHS paper. Exactly. Then put in this online thing and it doesn't fucking work. Oh no. You put a stupid stompdown system on the button that you need to grind. You have collision fucking falling through the world. It's just like. Oh no.

Can't wait to play it. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is terrible. Let's go to Tony Hawk's nursing home and ask him how he feels about it. I said on Twitter that I think this game is much better if you actually rebranded it as Tony the Funky Skateboarding Mummy and had it be a lost 90s show in video game form. And it's Tony Hawk's monotone old man voice. But it's still a crazy and his life. Do you know what he looks like?

What he looks like? The mummy character from Captain Commando. The mummy character from Captain Commando. The mummy character from Captain Commando. Yeah. But you still got money rapids? Gensu the knife. That Gensu the knife whatever.

Jack the knife. That knife. What fucking draw that Cranky? Oh it's all right. Man I don't. I actually someone draw that. I'm doing a Benny Hauna. Yeah.

And it's like if all you really just have to do is just make one of the older ones and just get rid of all the headaches and focus on the levels. They couldn't. They did it. They tried. That's fake. You know, hey Wully. That's not what you just said.

All you had to do was make a new version of the greatest PS2 game of all time. The fuck ups in every sequel have always been aiming too high and failing at the new thing. Well they aimed low at the HD collection and they still died bogged into the dirt. What do you want from these people? At the end of the day their time limit was almost certainly what killed them. Like it would have come out as good as the HD collection did which is to say certainly not as good as the original. All right.

All right. Go back to the clean cast version of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. Use the level editor. Make a bunch of levels and call it 6. Call it 6. That would have been fine. That's good. That's a good one as well.

Good one as well. That's an okay one in addition to. So a bold add on the Tokyo subway put up for. Have children. Visual novel. Jesus. Fuck it. Fuck it.

Fuck it. All of you fuck with stupid pandas. Open the packet. Boil the water. Fuck. Put it in. Anyway. You're done.

You're fucking done. All right. At least they're not Germany says Japan. Yeah. Japan me freaking shit out. I'm going to try to pronounce this correctly. A visual novel called you can you're going to jump in me in any minute. Maybe.

Taware rumono. Taware rumono. Yeah. That's a mouthful. That name is a mouthful. It's Suwari no Kamen. Yeah. It's a tactical role playing visual novel.

Yes. Exactly. It's got a lot of RPG. Japan means one mouthful. Good game. Yeah. I remember that. Very little master on the Tokyo subway lines.

That straight up reads in big bold text with nothing else on the ad. Take back video games from smartphones. Yeah. I was like this is fine. Nice. I guess Willie but there you go. That's awesome. Bold.

So A this game is good. B this series has always been good. C I hope this game gets localized. D fuck smartphone games. Like that's cool and everything. Let's say let's say it's classless. You're never going to see an ad in a subway here that says Netflix because fuck everything else.

Yeah. But in Japan it's like yeah we do it. We do it. We take away. Consoles spirit. Burning. Consoles will never die. Yeah.

Yeah. But they are. Yeah. Yeah. No. That's I just. No. That's a good ad.

I like that. I totally missed that. I like that. Straight up. That's a good ad. There's there's a some Super Meat Boy is getting a re-released. Yes. At least the hardest flattened trophy ever.

Yeah. So there's two. Well the two things about it is that one there is some kind of problem between the original music guy and the meat boy team. So they had to redo the music but they got fuckers from the hotline Miami soundtracks. Oh shut up. So. No problem.

No problem. No problem. I think we've been finding out. They call it Miami. Thumbs up aces. No problem. Three thumbs up. But.

You guys can just make Super Meat Boy forever. They're really good. But then the other things. Yeah. The hardest flattened trophy ever. Why is that? Because. Super Meat Boy.

To beat the dark world. To beat every level without diet. No. Not every level. Every world. Every world. No. So.

It's insanely hard. But you know there's no save file restarting at all. Eight percent of people were able to. Point. On the original release of Meat Boy. Point eight. Okay. Okay.

So yeah. Here we have the trophy that won't happen. And by me saying that that means. It just happened. People are gonna do it. People are gonna do it. Even if. It's actually impossible.

Someone is going to hack their profile to get that. Someone is already uploading footage of doing that and M++ at the same time. At the same time. Yeah. With one controller. That's crazy. You did that. Uh.

There's that. There is the ultimate back down. Uh. You asked for this. Deus Ex augment your pre-order. Yes. Fucking cancel. Yeah.

Awesome. This was that. Now we know someone that is now out on the streets. But that's fine. The backlash to that. It wasn't Paul's fault. Paul's marketing. It was not Paul's fault.

Paul's marketing is a good guy. All right. But uh. The backlash to that must have been crazy. If they actually canceled it. It was vicious. Yeah. Like everyone hated it.

For all corners of the internet. You know. You just look at that on the YouTube video for it. And it's like the highest. Just like saying. So. Yeah. So here's what I want to find.

Because I haven't looked. But I'm hoping that if you go digging into the official forum somewhere. There's going to be that guy that's like. No guys. It's fine. You guys. There's always someone. Step up to the plate defender.

And then the company themselves. I'm like. No man. Well. It's. It's. Liam. That's.

That's friends. Oh. I tried. I said it was bad from day one. Like. I said on the subreddit. You know. I defend things.

I. I defend things that I personally feel are worth doing it. I don't play devil's advocate for the sake of me. I try. I said on the subreddit that having worked for that company for a number of years. I will always kind of root for them and be like. Yeah. Cool.

Yeah. But it should never have happened in the first place. Like it's good that they reverse. It's good that we made like kind of a mistake that our fans. Clearly don't like. And we will then reverse it because that's not a lot of companies do that to begin with. So I'm glad that we did that. But it shouldn't.

They shouldn't. It should never have been on the table. Or the part that fucking hurts is that I can think of faces, names and voices having conversations where this group of people are saying this is going to be an interesting new thing. It's going to be good. Watch. It'll set the trend.

Yeah. People are going to love it. Yeah. Of course. Just talking into fucking thin air and then the guys next to him just shaking everybody else. He goes up and leaves and pulls his team into a room and just starts screaming and going, I can't believe we're forced to do this bullshit.

And I'm thinking of the exact people and it's just like, you know how it's so easy to visualize. You know, you know how it fucking played out. I remember when we talked about it last time when the thing was announced. I remember who it was. But one of us said, I wonder if all the DLC items are going to be made anyways. And like low and behold, we're going to get you all those pre-order DLC. We're going to work extra hard to get you all those pre-order DLC. Like fuck off.

We're pulling up our sleeves. Fuck off. You were going to make them all anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Like, oh, the idea of that is just such marvelous. Now release the game four days early for everyone. That was the one where I was like, that's the stupidest non-reward ever.

Release the game tomorrow then. Break your sheets. Like it makes sense. You got a hard day. Once you go gold, you can literally release whatever you want. It doesn't mean anything. In fact, it should. Yeah.

It's such a silly reward. We're not under-releasing it early. We're just not going to punish anyone who breaks the street face. You know what we're funny? If particularly the place that we work for would be like, hey, if one of the pre-order tiers is that you get these boxed PC copies of Invincible War that we have just stocked in the stock room for years. I wound up with like two of those.

Somehow. One of them I got. How many can you use to armor your house? Like God. I remember nuclear blast. I remember seeing our supervisor just walking with a fucking armful. Yeah. Yeah.

He dropped them and then he said, you can take one. And I said, no. I took one. And he put it on my desk. You got a lot of visible war? Yeah. I took one. I said, thank you very much.

And in the match I'm going home with him. I'm like, what can I actually fucking eat this for? I remember inside. Sorry. Yeah, go ahead. I threw out the desk and then I took out the box and they made it as a hidey hole for my rat. Yeah.

I'm like, this box is perfect. I remember in the stock room, seeing that there was like one, the world ends with you soundtracks eating. I was like, oh fuck, I want to get that. And he was like, no, we're not giving away the last of each. And could you stop leaning against that? I'm like, what's the wall? Oh.

And I was like this high tower of invisible wards. It's not even regular day in sex. You have to be invisible war. There's not that many coffees of regular day in sex at that office. I walked by and stacked invisible war coffees and I was like, ah, keep it up. Yeah. You're right. You're right.

You're right. Yeah. Manglobes shut down. The fucking rock band DLC thing for your ex bone is unbelievable. Oh no. We're going to be shite right now. And everyone's crossing their fingers that the in-game menu is going to fix this problem. But here's the deal.

Is this similar to the Deadline 5 thing that we ran into? Guess what? Yeah. You want to get your old purchases on your new rock band. Oh no. The ex bone. Yeah, damn it. One at a time.

One at a time using the ex bone fucking interface scrolling. And you can't use the website because the website cannot even display all the songs. And it can't tell which ones you bought or which one you have. That was the only way to get through that process if you had a lot of stuff back in bed. So go open up Excel, open up rock band and start writing because that's the only way you're going to do this unless, again, the in-game menu has something to fix. It's going to take a minute. Because you can't, the game licenses that are for the entire thing from that old disc

don't apply. These are just for your piecemeal DLCs. Yeah, of course. It's going to take a minute. It's going to take more than a fucking minute. And it's so baffling because all of this is based on the fact that the store does not group your purchases by things you bought versus things you haven't. Whereas, on PS4, they're all lined up that way so you can see exactly which ones you

already have. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't use your free stuff. I know that was coming out. Currently, fucks. I find it shocking that Microsoft would have a way, way better online infrastructure version of their, like, Xbox Live was better than PSN for the longest time. And in many ways still is.

I find it baffling that these issues show up on their platform. I don't have many kind words to say about PSN right now. Yeah, how many times do they have to redesign their fucking store and the same problems are still there? Yeah. Yeah. It's like, how about you get PayPal to show up on all of your devices? Well, it works for me.

So it's not a problem. Yeah. You're not, their PayPal exists on the console in the store when you're going to add funds. Yep. But not if you add funds outside of the store. Yep. Yep. I had that.

What? And not on the Vita, which I found when I tried to buy it. Yeah. Just go buy it. You have to walk by a store that has them on the way back home. Yeah. I'm going to go to a store to buy digital money from my digital video. I know this thing is convenient.

I understand that. There are metrics right there. There are finaglable solutions, but the question is why? I don't know. I have no clue. It doesn't make sense. I still don't know how this happened. You tripped over a wire and it just happened like this.

I don't know. It was complicated. The No Man's Sky developer, shy as he is, sat down with Colbert on the late show and showed off his game and made a Colbert planet. Yeah. Basically, it's interesting to just see here's what the latest version of this game looks like. Still no release date.

I was going to say. I'm not going to go into too much of it, but I think my grandkids will be waiting for this game. It takes a long time, but it feels like this is forever. I think you know what it is. I was thinking about this the other day. Holy shit. Holy shit.

Everyone's really looking forward to our game. We have to start making it. They realize we have really good tech. We have really good ideas, but it's actually like we don't want to on your delivery. I bet you. Because the possibilities could be endless. We don't want this to be spore. I bet you have.

It's too late. I have thought every part of my being to not get excited for this game for the reasons you were describing. So I had a little watchdog's heart jump moment where in that video, he pulls a gun out and I went, what? Well, they always had a gun. They always had a gun. I haven't been watching the way this was.

This was like the first trailer ever. The first trailer ever. And shooting lasers. Okay. But was it shooting things? We were shooting big rocks. You were shooting big rocks? It was like a dinosaur type thing, but they didn't notice it.

That's the thing is that I've liked on that because he shot a creature and I was like, no, he's shooting it to name it. And that's how you name creatures. You tag it with the gun. So I was like, oh, yeah, okay. I would love it if you got way worse. You haven't been watching for months or years or how long it's taken. And you see focus time.

You see the organs of the animals. The first part of the ball running. Yeah. Fucking hell for sure. You see respect is now at the top of the fucking movie. Yeah. Trick shot reloads. You know.

It's going to take a while, but like. Respect money. No doubt this game is going to just kill the sales all over again. Going to Bitch Island. Yeah. Street walkers and fucking these guys. What happened to the absolute top of the triple A market scale like in one week. Yeah.

Crazy. And you know what it is? It's cause it's always at every show. So you get tired almost. Not all of them, but it's frequent. It's frequent. It's on the shows a lot. And I'd rather just not show up for like a while because you always like hear about.

Yeah. When is like, you know, that's the type of difference. It's the kind of thing where it's not even, it's not. It's actually not fair to say it was announced too early. Cause for an indie dev, they need to like the spot that they got at the video game awards two years ago was like the fuck. Yes. We're going to take it.

And they might not have been able to get that spot the next year or this year. So like, it's a bummer cause it's a situation where you say it was announced too early, but no, they had to. No, don't like SMT4 final. And I think, you know, and I think, and then it's like, you have the other part where it's like, they figured out how to make the ultimate sandbox early. Yeah. And then the rest of it is like, okay, we're making the game, you know, but like the first

thing they, it seems they figured out was generated a universe. It's this bouncing act of, yeah, take your time, make the game and make sure it's good and delivers. You take too much time and like, no matter how good the game is, you took so long, so many trailers, so much, like maybe not so much height, but then you will still under deliver cause it's been seven years. Yeah. It's a very bouncing.

Like you can't, you can't keep, you can't keep a George Lucas scene or Steven Spielberg in it. Like, oh, we could do a touch up here. Yeah. Put this fucking monster in the background. But the fortunate thing is it doesn't matter cause they'll break even a million dollars. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like, luckily robots have made most of their game. Yeah. Exactly. And thankfully I haven't seen like it hitting a point of like, negative feedback where people are like almost like running up and nighting it where it's kind of like, I just don't want to hear about this anymore until it's in my hands. I never talked about it. I played that back a demo and I believe it is.

Okay. I hate it. Really? I hate the dialogue. It's unskippable and it just wasn't fun. It looked terrible on my computer and I tried every variation of it. So maybe the console version will change me around or maybe whatever, whatever that's the most beautiful, but I just, I'm not like it.

Wow. I mean, the show floor demo that I tried was fine. It was the same one, just not a polish basically. Okay. Yeah. So. That's going to be a fun video. Yeah.

It gave me no pleasure to say any of that. I put in $200 in my number nine. There is a fan made PAX Pokemon party that's being sued by Nintendo for $4,000. The Pokemon company. By the Pokemon company. Yeah. The Pokemon company for the $4,000. You need your reaction on this.

It's like, what? That's crazy. How could they shake him down like this? That's the worst. Why? So the party, you put the fires up with pictures of using Pikachu and I think Togethy. Pikachu and Snivy. Snivy.

Snivy. Yeah. Snivy. Yeah. Snivy. Yeah. Snivy. Snivy.

Snivy. Snivy. Yeah. So the guy, he said okay, there are no season devices involved. They just shut him down immediately and he's, he offered to pay them over the course of a year or so and then they said no, you have to do within forty five days. So the guy's just kind of panicking and freaking out. Yeah.

No. He shut it down and he was hoping he consulted a lawyer. He was hoping that it would just be nothing. But then they say, No, we want you to pay damages, which is fucking disgusting. It's so weird that all random little parties getting picked off. The only thing I saw was that apparently he'd been running this party for several years and then he did make a tidy profit or something off of it because he would sell tickets. Yes.

And that might be why the Pokemon company decided that this was an exception. It was, it was venue cost. But I was going to say, I've run multiple tournaments with a venue fee and then a tournament entry fee. Yeah. And if you come to just hang out and watch and play casuals, you still play five or so to get into the venue. The only result if you make money, even if it's like fair, you make money. That's the only thing.

This is absurd. But I mean, Capcom is not going to come down on like a fighting game tournament, you know? No, for sure. Also, how about you come down on those people that make the Chinese backpacks? How about you come down on those people who are making those terrible Pokemon ripoff iOS games? Then just use your own screenshots to sell games. How about you come down on those people instead of this fucking guy? It's so weird because there's a million targets and they're all kind of palatable.

Yeah. Let's take the unpalatable target. They're waiting for that guy that's making the in-game recreation of Pokemon in Minecraft. I don't know if you've seen that. He's making it frame by frame. And then like once it's done, season the cysts. Watch us do one of those stories that Morax over the weekend, it turns out he had like animals pinked and it was like a death ring.

Don't tell anyone until it's done. Have the party and then when it's over, then send the invites out. No, there's every possibility that it's found that he's like super liable, but like, Goddamn. Goddamn. I wanted to be something stupid. It's hard to see this as anything, but like company bullying. Then an exercise to power for the sake of it.

Like someone was setting up for packs and walked by and saw a flyer and just lost their shit. Yeah. Like, I don't know how to read that. See, this is why we can't let you guys leave the country. Because you freak out and cause losses. You see? Way to go.

A couple of details coming in about the Personas in V5. Historical fiction characters. That's correct. Carmen. Zoro. Captain Kid. Captain Kid. Yeah.

Pirates and vagabonds and thieves. So world heroes, finally. Crooks, Mount Maltabanks. Highwaymen. Yeah. Brigands. Reps, Scallions. Etc.

Scallywag. Scallywag. Scallywag. Scallywag. We got this little miss. Andrew Jackson. Yeah, he's a big titress. Did I say Muntabanks?

Yeah, you did. Snake Horde salesman. Snake Horde salesman! There we go. We finished it out. Kave might be starting the crowdfunding campaign. And they did it in the smallest, like, the cutest way on their Facebook. They kind of just wrote, like, a little three-word thing that was like,

would crowdfunding be okay? Aw. And people were like, yeah, yeah, do it. And then they made a little nether post. I was like, here's a possible breakdown. It might be exciting. That's the video game equivalent of should I upload my bikini photos? I really hope that they do it and it succeeds.

Because I can see some people getting sticker shock at that price for a shmup. Yeah. Because I think most people think shmups are like... They're like ten bucks, right? They're old news and they're super cheap and stuff. But I think it comes just as much as any other game to make, like... And if you play a cave shmup, you know the deal. Yeah.

They are the guys... If you know what that sentence meant, you know the deal. I hope there's enough people... Cave shmups are a real treasure. Yeah. I can't tell the difference between the two. They're not. They're not.

ESP Galuda, Ibarra, Pink Sweets, Wushi Himesama, all that shit. Okay, so that's the stuff you have in the version. So then I don't know who Cave is. Okay, that's how they go. The shit where... I know Goodwatch. Goodwich. I don't know how to say it.

I know which one I am. Akai Katana. Akai Katana, yeah? I was on 360. Is there a single game they've made that I know? Akai Katana. Ah, fuck. Goodwog.

I... If you don't know any of the ones I listed, I'm like... Zero. Didn't they work on Power Instinct, the original one? Wushi Wushi Pork. Wushi Wushi Pork as well. Yeah, Wushi Wushi Pork. You remember that one?

Yeah, totally, I remember that one. Death Smiles. Death Smiles. There you go. I saw that on the shelf. Yes! Everyone's seen Death Smiles. Okay.

Not being bought. It really gates. Okay. Yeah, there you go. Akai Katana followed us over there. I know that one too. No, man. The bullets are beginning to shift.

I hope they get more recognition as a result of this campaign. They're a respected Shmup institution, my friend. Yeah, they've been around for ages, for a long time. I'll take your word for it. Me and Shmup got Pat. We used to just shout ebara quotes at each other at random. That game was super quotable and fun. Anyway, there is a, yeah, there's a top 100 brands list and Nintendo has been dropped

from it for the first time. Is it Japan or whatever? No, it's an international list. It's a global one. Yeah, it's not formed. It's like another prestigious company or whatever, a big list. Yeah, they've been on that since the list was started in 2001 and for the first year, they're fucking out of there.

It's not surprising because like the 3DS's whole gimmick kind of, I think everyone lost interest in it after the first two years. Right away, yeah. But like everybody probably over the first two years. You and I were talking about this. If 3D TVs had taken off, it might have been gone differently. Yeah, it might have. So why would this?

The second screen is still cool. It's just not novel anymore. And well, on also the second screen on 3DS sucks because it's like, oh, look at this 3D screen. Oh, my eyes just exploded. You know, some people can't actually handle that. I have trouble with that. And then like the Wii U, like who needs to say more?

They like, what a bungled system. Yeah. So like, I'm not surprised to see that they're at their worst. And again. Is it good news? Has Platinum entered this list now? Maybe not. Maybe not.

Is there any silver lining? Turns out they're not even a real company. But like, they're just a collection of emotions. They're just a function of gun laundry. The other billion was like a PSP that's off. Looks better than a 3DS that's off. Oh, yeah. I know.

I know. Fuck. I should have made like multiple runs at that joke to prep it for the podcast. Because like, because you keep modifying it in very interesting ways. It's harsh. But it gets better every time. But like, yeah. It's true, man.

I'm inclined to agree. But like, I was telling you the other day, it's like, man. You know what I mean? You talk about handhelds for like an hour. I go, my hands shook at the sight of a PSP because I'm like, get ready for crippling pain because you're horrible to hold. But that screen at that time. Yeah.

Cause I had to test on a PSP. So eight hours a day to fix that. Yeah. And then that was what she wrote. And lastly, the cat show has made its way into Mario maker. What? Amazing. Not surprising at all.

That's crazy. So check out the little teaser trailer. Is he making the levels or is he like? Yeah. And he's a playable thing that Mario can do. So supposedly the deal is he is making levels and there's going to be a patch or something. And if you finish those levels, you unlock him. That's good.

That's one of those. This level is a cruel joke. Yeah. This series of levels is based on the fact that I beat battle toads and you didn't fuck you. Fuck you. It's just coins saying I beat battle toads, but you didn't eight times in a row. He also beat it with using the works, which is not the true way.

He did it. He traded a ton of points for a headband. Yeah. Put it on your head as you play. Yeah. I know. Compress. Compress.

Compress. Exactly. You played MGS4. There you go. Arsenal compress. That's fun stuff. I hope that that trend continues. Yeah.

To shove random shit into Mario maker. To shove a Reno into every other Nintendo thing. To shove a Reno into Gears of War 4. But I want everyone that has had a vague relationship with Nintendo to end up somehow peripherally in this game. Tangled. Tangled. Power up.

I don't feel like it. Sure. But I'm going to have to pull him up when you hold up. Yep. Yeah. You want to write in to tell us about your tingle fanfiction. Don't do this. Tell us about your tingles.

You can't do that. You're tingle fanfiction and your special tingle pairings. You're the one who strength the emails. Why would you do this to yourself? Because he's seen it. Super best friendcast at gmail.com. That's tingle OPs. OTPs.

To tingle best fanfiction. Tingle best fanfiction. Tingle best fanfiction. Super best fanfiction. It's tingles OTP. You know. It's probably yourself. Yeah.

Yeah. No. It's like it's a Wind Waker tingle with a Majora's Mask tingle. Tingle knuckles. Tingle knuckles. No knuckles. Oh shit. Tingle's name's like David.

A rupee with a bikini. Yeah. A rupee with a bikini on it. Yeah. Super best friendcast at gmail.com. That's what you said in your email. About your tingle fanfiction. That's correct.

And if you send them, they might sound a little something like... So, Willie, tingle is a very interesting character. What do you think about it? Squardo. Squardo. Says to the Shinteno. Has someone on the internet ever apologized to you over an argument that you had or won or something that wasn't your fault?

Yes. Yes. I guess I have to apologize to Pat because he's right about Mario blocks. Kind of. Kind of. Kind of. No, not kind of. I'm 100% right.

No, because people are going back and forth where it's like, yeah, this game does it, but not this game. Super Mario 1 does it. The rules are different. 2 and 3. But that's why then we were confused because we were all thinking about the Mario game. We played that the right way and said, someone gets blown up and someone does it. I said it.

Super Mario 1. That's the rule. Yeah. Has someone ever apologized to you on the internet? Yeah. Lots of people. Do you remember talking about voice actresses? Oh, no.

Yeah. This was a super amazing Super Friends game. Remember Catwoman? We played Catwoman. Yeah. The band. You have voice acting. And lots of people were calling me nuts and you're wrong.

Jennifer Hale is not the voice of Catwoman. Like, fuck you. I know that voice anywhere. And I contacted her on Twitter and she said, yeah, I did it. They didn't credit me because fuck that piece of shit. Right? So then people, like I remember two or three people, like I was screaming at you because you're so wrong because I also think I'm really good at voice acting stuff and knowing.

Yeah. You're totally right. Because clearly the voice actor did that. A lot of Australians use their prison internet to apologize to me. Oh, yeah. After yelling about saying, you idiot, zero, zero, zero is our emergency number. And I was like, just do me a favor and look it up. I'm not even going to.

The turnaround time on that was like 25 minutes. It was great. It was great. It was so fast. Just actually go to your government's website where the number is listed and see what happens. They didn't have to really get that wrong. Because they never had to use it. Really?

Yeah. Wow. Because Australians are used to danger all the time. They don't need to go to the emergency number. But that's why it was the esoteric fact because you might not know it even if you lived there. Speaking of which, esoteric fact number 113, if you would like to know perhaps. Is there a good one? I think it's interesting.

Sure. Sure. So, you know, whenever you think of APCs, you think of that specific type of APC. Yeah. Yeah. It's like the box with the little thin garment. A little ramp that comes up. Yeah.

There's been things made since then, but the one that everybody thinks of is the M113. Okay. Really? That is the model number. Huh. And it has been used for years. Yeah. It's the old one.

Yeah, exactly. That's one of those things that's known as like a workhorse. Yeah. It's a 40-year-old tank. It's the best tank we got. Keep it in production. If it ain't broken. Yeah.

Now put a trillion more dollars into this plane that won't fly. Yeah. Yeah. Go wash it and use it because it's still going good. The M113. Like the AT. Yep. The universal sign of uprisings.

So, we got one coming in from Chatterbox. Hey, shut up. Most useless form of transportation in an open world game. I bet you're inspired by D-Walker. Useless form of transportation specifically. Yeah. Yeah. It's probably stuff like when you take a construction vehicle in like Grand Theft Auto.

And the pace just becomes like glacial low. So, he says, I play a lot of GTA 5 and it struck me that in GTA 4 it had a feature using the subway setup method for fast travel in both games. The subway stations are rarely close to anything important. And the taxi driver method is far, far faster and more efficient than going to a subway. I was actually thinking of that exact example, but I will say any fast travel method that is a moving object, like item, person, thing. That's not teleporting.

That's not a signpost or a fucking little square that you stand in or whatever. The taxi system in GTA drives me fucking crazy. Because every time I've ever wanted to fast travel I actually can't find a fucking cab. I hate it. Also, you remember the carriages in Red Dead? I was just thinking about that. Do you even remember that being in the game? Why?

Why was they bad? I remember that they were bad, but I can't remember why. Because the time it took to get in one and go, you could just ride your horse there faster most of the time. Yeah, you're right. And there was huge incentives to just wandering the countryside and all that shit. Yeah, okay. That's much worse.

Do you remember being annoyed by those? I don't know. Like Skyrim horses are really bad. Like, there's no, like, that game's fast travel all over. I'm gonna give a, not hearty, but a mediocre fuck you to Astrid Broke because you unlock the underground tunnels in Brotherhood, but you're never near to them. The same thing as the subway problem. The placement spreads out across the map, but they're always like fucking seven minutes

of sprinting away. Yeah, the same issue with the subway where it's just like, you have fast travel locations to nothing. But that's a really, really impossible place because you never know where a player's gonna go. You need to have heat maps. You need to have heat maps. And you do it by the heat maps and if the heat maps are wrong, then that's all there is

to it. I remember at least Far Cry 4, I'm not sure about 3. I remember 4 being like, oh my God, every single one of these vehicles is either, this has disadvantage, this has disadvantage. And even ones I think, wait, did that suck? I'm like, wait, no, it didn't. And I'm like, if there's a bad fast travel map, I haven't seen it. Dear Piqua, why can't I get in you in Afghanistan and fly from one point to the other without

going back to the other place? Yeah, God, I wish that was a thing. Would it break objectives? Possibly. I just want to go to that LZ, though. Would it save my sanity? Yes. Yeah.

Fuck. We've all been there, for sure. You know, if I'm not feeling particularly immersed and in the mood to ride all the way out to the countryside and make it to the next place, fucking, you just have to get back in the chopper every time. Yeah. Michael is asking, what does Shoto mean? Oh, Jesus Christ.

This is one of those things we would never even consider. Exactly. So it's short for Shoto Kan, which is an incorrect naming that applies to type of fighting game character. If you have a fireball, like a Hadoken, a Shoryuken, and some kind of body projectile. Which would be a Hurricane kick. That comes from Ken and Ryu in some translations of the original Street Fighter 2. They were the Shodokan Karate fighters.

Exactly. Which is wrong. It's super wrong. They're Karate fighters. That was called Ancestra. But it's stuck. Yeah. And so everyone just says, yeah, they're Shodos.

Because if anyone that has a fireball, an uppercut, and some sort of third move. So like Zagat, for example. Zagat's a Shoto. It's clean in there. Sakura's technically a Shoto. Jago from Killer Instinct. It's a Shoto. Absolutely.

And then you have, you know. I think Terry is one. Oh no. But there's so many horizontal. Yeah. And it's a charge move to really get the DP. Yeah. Terry's barely in there.

Oh, Amy. No. Keel and Iori are Shodos. Keel and Iori are better Shodos. So in Japan they say Shoryuken. Yeah. To designate that. But.

There are no Shodos anymore. So when you hear people saying, I don't want this game to have that many Shodos. It's like you don't want the cast to be filled with. The same guy. Ten Ryu, Zagat, Sean, Dan. Ten again. Yeah. But the reason why.

Ryu, Akuma, etc. The reason why there's so many is because they're so easy to pick up and sort of play. Exactly. They're fun. It's the vanilla learnable style. So if you reach into a box of all fighting games and pull one out and pick the main character. Chances are if you do down to forward he's going to do a fireball. And you do forward, down, down, forward.

He's probably going to do some kind of upward body projectile that's kind of invincible. Yeah. An anti air move. Yeah. So that's why we say Shodos. And the worst thing. The worst thing ever. Is SPCK.

SPCK awesome. Was it 28 out of 32? 19 out of, I want to say 28 characters. 19 out of 28 characters for Shodos. Which is insane. It's like. Yeah. So exactly.

You wouldn't think about it until you look at an entire list. But you're like, oh, every single Shodo from the Street Fighter franchise plus Morrigan. And all of them from SNK. They're all in the same game. Oops. All Shodos. Outside of Gaia and Mars people. People would be like, fuck yeah.

That needs to be on the box. What? Oops. All Shodos. Put that on the box. That'd be the new Omega mode. Two versions of Akuma. Everyone's a Shodo.

Two versions of Takuma. Two versions of Ken. Fuck him. Evil Akuma. Ridiculous. Evil Akuma. Fuck. Good Akuma.

That's what we need. Nice Akuma. Nice Akuma. Aww. Aww. Look at them. He's nice. I'm back there.

Vacation Akuma. Not killing Ken. Or his brother. Not killing anybody. Not killing anybody. Not killing anybody. Not killing anybody. Not crazy your area.

So we got one from Chris and he wants to know quite simply. Hey, I recently finished Plague of Shadows and I noticed that we were directors for a day. What was it like? We never really talked about it. We were directors of the day. We were just like, yeah. We were directors of the day.

That's what it was called. That's true. Directors of the day did not mean they sat down for eight hours. And did the meetings. It did not. No. I was there for a bit of that. We jumped out of Skype call a couple times to talk about Baz as a boss.

Yeah, we'd written down like a little document for ourselves and we'd hear our ideas. These are the ideas. This is what we want the flow of the fight to look like. And we know enough that you don't want to. You always try to think. You always try to scale back your ideas when you know a little bit about. Don't ask for the world. Don't ask for the world.

Just be realistic for a fucking Mega Man looking game. Yeah. Like think about your idea and then pair it down. Like give them also a pared down version. Exactly. Your idea is nearly always too large. And thankfully not only did they find our things really practical. But they nailed it out of the park and did exactly what we were describing.

Yeah, exactly. They didn't compromise anywhere on that point. Yeah, they tweaked a few little things, but for the better actually. Yeah, I think everything turned out better than I thought. Yeah. Because you go into these things and you're like, oh, how's this going to turn out? Are you going to easily mean really what happened? Well, the things that we never really would have specified that were just there.

It was like, okay, we want to crime like a baby. But then the fact that you couldn't hit him and he cries harder, it's fantastic, you know? That's great because we didn't say that. So they put it in since when you see it happen. They felt it. They got the joke. There's a synergy of ideas. Yeah.

It was a fun check. I'm just talking to them on Skype to hang it up. Yeah. And, you know, when we run into them at various events, it's always just continuing the... Oh, I asked them about this event, but it's coming. There we go. Oh, God. There we go.

Leo? No, I can confirm it. I'm alive. I'm fine. Send us the photos, Sean. The worst Yoshi skin ever. And we got one last one coming in from Tay and he simply wants to know, hey, two plus two friend cast.

That's good. I like it. Not bad. It's four of them. No. My favorite moments in your LPs are when you play a trouble game, see a bad bug and instantly recognize how much testing they did or didn't do before they shipped. That happened today.

Right before you... Wooly, we showed it to you. I've seen it. Right before... Well, we gave it. We played a shitstorm game in which we just walked into a room and noticed that all of the geometry in the world had gone great. And you could see all the world and I managed to fall out of the game and see all of the

love. It was the best. We cheered. It was great. Yeah. It was a good game too. Yeah. Kind of like is the one like little thing.

But Paolo said the other day that like if a bug happens in an LP and a really bad one like yeah... Even with things probably the worst. Yeah. It wasn't far the worst. You go, oh, fuck, oh, shit, fuck. But if it happens in some type like a disc the cuff or a one-off, what do we always do?

We get a free pop. Yay! We did it. Yeah. We broke into the room. One game was that two years ago during the shitstorm. It was some horror game where we went to the basement and the door closed and opened. It was...

I kind of forget the name of it. But yeah, it was one where you were in a room alone. You were in one room. You were in a room alone. And Paolo was getting so, so scared. And when you were opening up this door some foolish people were happening. No, we walked through this the whole way in the basement and the door busts off its hinges and oh, oh, Windows is...

And the camera now expects error and it crashes to my desktop. I was like, what? What? That's the video game there. It was exactly the game that I noticed was too scary for you. Oh, I love those moments are my favorite. They're fast. Yeah.

They're soft. Oh, it's so good. Anything you notice or appreciate in games that you did before after going through the QA ringer? Basically. Oh, yeah. Skyboxes. There's...

The list is too long to go to honestly list, I feel like, but... Step one, man. Save, load, flow. Yeah. When you're flow for saving and loading and getting through a game and checkpoints and all that shit is seamless and you don't have to ever think about it, I noticed that. And it feels great. They were joking earlier about...

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Even just having manual saves that don't take too long or have a nice animation, so it looks like they came to the breeze and it's just like, oh, I'm going to save my game. Okay, great. Move on. I appreciate appreciation for the tightness of the compliance.

I shouldn't even be answering. I didn't know if you knew it. I was going to say... If you ever think about your save, it's a problem. Exactly. That's exactly it. I was going to say like back, I'd say like 2000 to 2005, whenever I saw really aggressive invisible walls, what the fuck do you think you asked for?

Oh, yeah. I should be able to go wherever I want. What the fuck? And now, when I see invisible walls, I'm like, I know exactly why these are here. I know why they need to be here and I know why. Or explain Max Payne. Very well, Max Payne, you're holding a dog and that is a quest critical item in this dog. Before you pick up the dog, you can just leap the fuck off that thing and kill yourself

and you'll respond. It's hilarious. Once you pick up the dog, invisible walls just appear. Yeah. And I'm like, I know why these are here now because the game will crash. If I jump off this thing with the invisible dog or it could lead to so many problems. So I'm like, that's why it's not really laziness. It's just like, this is how it has to be.

It's a fix. It's a fix. Definitely for me, any two moving objects touching each other because like that's where all bugs come from. Yeah. Yeah. Two things are doing. Two things.

There's a bug that was happening. Calling in. Yeah. Calling in a Jeep on top of a Jeep in just cause where they fucking spawn in with the boxes dropping on top of each other and the break between the front windshield and the side window are inter hooked on both Jeeps. So both Jeeps just spin into the air in a cyclone explode into a million pieces, you know, walking around the wrong corner in a city and seeing the actual NPC generator

with NPCs falling out of the sky, you know, there's, there's these little things around. Yeah. Matt, like I'm yours. I think it's my favorite. Like the ability to jump in anything. Ever. Like, cause I know, cause there are games that you can never jump. Good.

Yeah. But then there are games that you can jump everywhere and jumping isn't a mechanic. You just do it. Wow. It's like, I appreciate that you've managed to do this. Any game or more. And why did you not have to do this? Yeah.

And why did it take a lot of work for little games? Any game where you have a reflection in a mirror. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. That's a tough one. Super hard. And if you, and if you could somehow make the reflection face another reflection.

Yeah. We crash every time. It's like, it's like when you look at the mirror and an undertale and you see the reflection. And it's actually, it means nothing in duty. Yeah. Cause they're doing it like Duke Nuco. Exactly. Yeah.

So that's all it is. But then there's a little charm of clicking at the mirror and it says, it's you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I was going to say really, I agree with you. There's some bugs. I'm like, I know I care, but it still sucks and it's not fair. It's like I talked about it and no more heroes, but you used to be able to drive your bike into NPCs and it, it splat them against walls and they exploded.

And that was not a bug per se, but it was removed feature because the ESRB checklist was done too soon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you couldn't include that after, and since it's cruelty against non playable characters or something, it's like, no, just take it out now. That's one of those things.

I don't know if you guys remember, but when Olivia came out, it came out with a T rating and then it got pulled back in and had to get re-rated within three weeks because people found the Dark Brotherhood quest in which there's like, Which are not T. Severed dorsos and decapitated heads and vicious animalistic murder. And then the question became like, what tape did you send to the ESRB? Cause they send the tape, right? That has all the worst shit in it.

It's like, what was on there? Nothing? Yeah. Fucking liar. Cause traditionally you're supposed to, someone's supposed to play like, or I don't know how it does in every company, but someone's supposed to play the game and write anything that they think is an ESRB thing. Yes.

Okay. Well, this guy gets killed in this manner, blah, blah, blah, blah. So yeah, someone doesn't find that quest line in time. The best quest line they knew was in there. They knew. Yeah. That being said, like when stuff gets through and it's hilarious, it can sometimes leads to moments like the thing that we were checking out during the day that you told me about

that. If you guys want to see an amazing example of developers finding about, finding out about that. Yeah. Live. Literally live on stream exposed. You've got. I was suddenly about this fact.

I saw something. It was there. The double dragon thing. You saw something? I was there next to you. Yeah. We watched the rest of it. Yeah.

I know. I know. I told you about it, but then we actually sat down and watched. I know. I was there. But after you left, you watched the rest of it. I know. Anyway.

Anyway. But it was a really cool speed runner that's been at. Summer games done quick. Summer games done quick. And summer games done quick. Murphigators specializes in beat them up. And a really amazing run that me and you should watch of middle of chaos. Oh, that's cool.

Done in like an hour. Anyway, he's playing double dragon neon and he's going, all right. So traditionally down this hallway, these guns that are missiles shoot down the hallway and they spawn and they kind of make life difficult. Knives on them. Yeah. If you just jump and kick, they just don't spawn. And then you hear like a little chuckle of people going, huh, huh.

Yeah. And here's Sean Velasco, the guy that directed the game. Go. What? What? Yeah. Why? If you liked those, there was one during lead up to blood stain where you can actually

sat in on. I can't remember his name. Doing a speed run of symphony of the night. And there was another one where double fine invited a speed runner in to do a speed run of psychonauts. And they had a bunch of the teams sitting in on that one. And that was really fun in that regard too. But like the best parts of this stream where there was a couple of those moments where

he's like, so here's the time where you can do this thing or whatever this happens for no reason. And then the fucking yacht club on the sky are just going like, what the fuck is that about? Yeah. It's like you can get so much more because I'll feature that. You know, the game is that dashing cancels anything. Yeah.

So you run cancel and you punch way, way more than possible. You get way more rewards. You get so much more rewards. You run cancel and you punch way, way more than possible. You get way more rewards out of those tapeworms that come out. And then they're like, oh, oh shit. Yeah. The game had some bugs around that area, but those two buttons that you're pressing are

on opposite ends of the controller. So no one in testing ever did that. So we didn't find it. Yeah. It's like we would have put the game into worm crash mode and they're like, what's worm crash mode? You know, Earthquake mode. Earthquake mode.

Yes, sorry. The character dies just as a tape, explodes, the screen just falls apart. Yeah. And they're like, oh, Jesus. It was really fun that stream. Yeah. Ah, fuck. It was the one other thing.

Yeah. It was like, so there's this tape you put on or whatever and it gives you a, it says it gives you a 1.5 damage modifier, but it's actually like three. Yeah. So we don't know why it says that. And then Yacht Club, yeah. Yacht Club responds with, well, yeah. It actually scales even stranger than that.

It's like 2.7, but for, we're not going to write in the tutorial. It scales for some reason. The algorithm goes to 2.7. So we just said 1.5. Yeah. You know, it's a lot more damage. Yeah. So yeah, that was really fun.

What is putting on the watch? Transformers devastation. Guys, there's robots and they may or may not be in the skies. We played this game. Got to get the Rids, man. Rids. That goes up. That went up.

That went up. That went up. That went up. It went up 45 minutes ago. Guess what? Guess what? That's a good game. That's a good game.

Good ass platinum video game. I think me and Pat were especially blown away by how much more stuff. I didn't think that. I thought that was a $20 dollar downloadable game. I thought it was. Oh yeah. I didn't know it was a full ass game. It's a full ass game.

There's a game there. I didn't know that. I thought you said more than Korra, but still less than Ruben. That was me. Yeah. Yeah. For anyone who thinks it's just going to be another Korra, just give it a try. It is way more than meets the eye.

It was worse than mine. The moment it booted off, I grabbed the controller and ran around. I'm like, yep, platinum. Done. Sort it. I really like that part of platinum style is that you hold the button and your character goes super fast. That's a thing.

Like on Mayo, prevention and this all happens. Does the Korra have that? Yeah, it does with the airbending. That's the thing you have to do. Oh yeah. It goes super fast. And it's like, just imagine the intro of Bayonetta except replace everything with Transformers. Yeah, okay.

Got it. I did it. Oh, I saw it. And also Dengeki Bunko fighting climax comes out this week. Finally. Finally. It's happening for real this time. Yeah, it does this week.

God damn it. We can mess around with that. Fun game. Yeah. I want to play Zekira. Fun fighting. Yurara. Yurara guy.

That guy. That guy from Yurara. That guy. You remember that guy? He's a good grappler. And chess beepers. So very blessed. From chess beepers.

From chess beeper 3. You're not getting it ever in America. Fuck off. Yeah. And chess beeper 3. Sweater counters. And Big Bo as well. Yeah, you got the big chess.

Big Bo's in there. Yeah, of course. For real? No. I fucking wish. Big Bo's great. Shut up. He just doesn't like it.

He just doesn't like it. He just doesn't like it. He just doesn't like it. Because he still had one screenshot with Big Bo being bug-eyed. He doesn't appreciate it. Now Big Bo's a hero. But it's literally the worst screenshot of the world. Oh, it's literally the worst screenshot of the world.

Oh, it's what Harriet Tubman would say about Big Bo. Harriet Tubman would say, What the fuck is this magic? It's just cute. It is. That's what she fucking said. She's a caveman compared to today. She really got it.

What are you trying to say? I'm saying she's old and dead, man. Harriet Tubman lost in a world she never made. Hey, Harriet Tubman put on the Morpheus. She couldn't fight off a Terminator? No. No, she could. Big Bo could.

She would be freaked out by a new tub. Man, I hate it. I'm sorry. Shitstorm's continuing. Daggeron's continuing. None of you are continuing. Undertale will continue and finish. Undertale.

We have a two or three extra day gap because I'm waiting for Cranky. Cranky Construct had a really good idea and actually talked to one of the developers of the game for a fun little intro. Like a new intro. Oh, yeah. Okay. It's really interesting.

So, unfortunately, there's going to be like a two to three day wait for that. Okay. Yeah, but there's a ton of videos and we have this going on. Yeah. There's already two videos a day anyway. Yeah. Hope continues to prevail. Hope continues to prevail.

I feel really good about this. You're shitstorm. Yes. And also, I tested that by giving all of the episodes we've made to a friend and asking them, like, are these funny? Are these good? Are these any good? I think they are.

He's like, yeah, they're really good. Except for that one. That one sucks. Like, well, yeah. Liam and I have a quick look slash full LT. Yeah, that's true. That's going to go up single video. Whenever that goes up.

And it's going to get third slotted. Is it the... No, it's not okay. Yeah. It's going to get slotted. The one you actually recorded, not the one you were talking about. Yeah. And that's going to go up as a third video sometime.

One video, hour and a half long. We have... Interesting. What? Is this going up this week? Yes. Yes. We have a very good fisticuffs coming up this week.

Arguably the best. Arguably the best. That's Dem's big words. Senpai's not going to be there. Unfortunately, yeah, he was busy. And that's to even... Actually, no. I told that story in the video.

In the video. We just said, yeah. Yeah. We're like, why is it Liam here? Because his pipes are exploding. Well, dude, when I... When you guys said we held off during the next game, I said, oh, thank you. Oh, thank you.

But we did this game. And like before even telling me how good it was, I immediately knew. I would have missed out on that fisticuffs and be late for that. Yeah. This week, you guys, just saying strong. Strongly strong. And we barely fight each other. Hey, for this week's fisticuffs, you may at one point be like, well, it's not really

fisticuffs. It's turned into something else. Do yourself a favor. Watch that shit all the way to the end. You'll be very happy that you did so. Liam, you need to. I'm going to watch it tonight. I can watch it tonight because I am special and better.

Like was this... And I will. Was this something that you thought was going to be half an hour? No. Okay, yeah. There was enough character. I knew there was a ton of shit. There's a lot of characters.

It's over an hour long. But the rabbit hole. You know, all the anime fighter fans are finally going to be really happy. Yeah. We finally played the game that you've been asking for. We brushed up on it. We brushed up on it. Well, we and I went back to the lab.

We picked the characters that we used to be good with. See, we've done this too many times that no one believes us now. Okay, I'll just come out right and say, it is ultimax this week. All right. It's blade glue. Yeah, it's a blade glue. It's half an hour of ultimax. Half an hour of blade glue.

And then we top it off with some Naruto. Right. Yeah. Not the new ones. The old GameCube ones. The best ones. Yeah, the best ones. The ones that crash real fast.

Well, hey, shh, we're saving that one. Yeah, we're saving that for the end. Nobody knows, man. Nobody knows. I hope I don't feel ready for the ultimax because it's just fucked up. All right, podcast is over. No way. No way.

What are you looking forward to? Oh, transporation. Transporation. Sorry. Sorry. We did this. Okay. Well, I wanted to just mention.

Yeah, absolutely. Go ahead. Gundam Iron's Let It Orphans. Yes. The new series just dropped and the world has agreed this shit is fucking tight. What do you think of Gundam Barbados? Okay, I haven't watched the podcast yet. Okay, because fuck damn that design.

Fuck damn. Okay. That is gorgeous. Okay. Do you want to start for the Gundams? I don't know. I haven't. I can't tell you.

Look at Liam now. Do you know anything about the Gundams? Not enough to say whether this is better or worse than that. There's so much Gundam. It can go any way at any time, but actually no, because you want to start at seed. Good shit that exists. Yeah, good seed. Yeah.

Good seed. Yeah. Every time I ever turned on Gundam, people were talking in a room. I never lucked out. You forget that I watched like the entirety of Long Horizon out of spite to no one. There was no one. There wasn't a person that I was arguing with. It was the, oh, hey, Long Horizon.

It's a pretty firm agreement on that one. And it was just like this general sentiment of people like this thing. I watched it out of spite to the ether. You know what? If you want to get in there, all the people who love the Long Horizon, they love this new show, Asterisk War. Yeah. Why don't you just watch that?

Well, what about Long Horizon season two? I got to watch that. That's it. Okay. Yeah. Apparently the ending song of that is like funnier than Database. Oh, actually, I should look that up. Okay.

That's not good. They're in the dark thinking about how bad it was. Fuck it. And just started watching the thing. Yeah. This is the same process that led me to read all of All Stars, Superman and One Go. This is a thing that happens when people like something a lot. And it's genuinely really care about it.

And I dismissed it for one reason or another. And then people tell me over and over, like, hey, man, you should really not hassling, not nagging. Just like, hey, man. Just genuine. You should check this out. And I get, no. No.

No. All right. I'll do it. Is this what you want? Is this what you want? All right. All of it. I hate it.

I mean, now I'm knowledgeable. And I'm going to shit on the thing you like. I've turned into my dad. All right. I've turned my dad. Can I have the toy? Maybe it's because, no. Mine.

Maybe it's because of 3D scheduling. But now as a kid, I watched hours and hours and hours of Gundam wave. I never saw Gundam. Whenever I would turn it on. I was like, people told me there were robots in this show. Patrons. And I was like, all of these characters, robots. Because it sounds like it.

Because basically, I would then turn on the TV and see crazy shit happening. And I'll be like, I'm going to watch this instead. It gets so much better than me. And I'm sure, but that's what was on at the time. It was. Wink is what the West has been exposed to. Yeah. Wink is the one that got over and got over.

They did try and dub and brought over some of the others, but like it's Wink is the one that everyone will watch. And they're going to catch up. Did you catch up? No. Remember that plot twist? I remember. Remember that plot twist where it turns out that it's the same story they keep telling?

I tried to watch season four. And they, and they have that. No, I stopped it like season two when they had to fight in the apartment. Yeah. And no, season three. Season three. Yeah. I got to know.

She just announced a new game. Yeah. Yeah. I just did. Do you have a lot more to support? Who knows? I hope so. I hope so.

I wonder. When are you going to watch Aldenoa at Alt-F4? Alt-F4. Fuck it. We're out. We're done. Aldenoa Zero Wings of Mane. God, Wings of Mane.

Way to piss off everybody in the last five minutes of the podcast. Exactly. Long Horizon sucks. Wow, that's a season two suck. Hate me more. Database sucks, though I get the hilarious video. No, no, it's wrong. I'm turning around on it.

Wow, wow, wow. Hate me more, Sasuke. It's not strong enough. Serengan suck. Just go watch Monster Musume and pretend everything's right in the world. Thank you for watching.
