Starting point is 00:00:43 Why do you guys keep falling for these fan edits and clear photo shots? You're a piece of shit, Nat. How could you dare, like... Mira lost his hands years ago. There's nothing new. My Twitter blew up with pictures. Exploded. So...
Starting point is 00:00:58 I don't know. I don't know. Your Twitter blew up with fan edits and photo shots. Okay. No, no. You know what? I didn't reverse image search them. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:01:08 The fan edit and photo shot that I retweeted and people are saying, hey man, that's an edit. It's like, I know. It's funny. It was Gutt standing next to Shirk and him going, wow, that wasn't very long at all. Yeah, that was. That one's old. Yeah, that was good.
Starting point is 00:01:26 But in case nobody knows what the fuck we're talking about, who Guts and Berserk are, Berserk is an old-ass manga from like... Who is Berserk Man? Berserk Man is a guy named Guts, but Berserk is a manga from 91. 89. If you've been following our channel, if you've been following our channel, you know what Berserk is, actually. And last week's podcast preview, no, two weeks ago was Matt making jokes with a Guts figure
Starting point is 00:01:47 about getting off the boat. Well, we did a full-out episode of Berserk, and 89, I'm inclined to believe him. So Berserk started when I was three years old, started when you were like, what? How old are you? Five years old. Like five. Liam was not alive. Not alive.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Like, for real this time. I was actually not born. Yeah, well, you would be four. See, but the thing I heard was that he gets off the boat, but then he's all surrounded with chibi-cute people, so it's like, fuck it, get back on the boat. No, no, he's going to see- But that was the whole point. He's going to heal Kaska.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Anyway, point being, like, next issue, Kaska's going to be good. Berserk is one of the longest-running, most amazing mangas ever. And seven years ago, the author took a break and put guts on a goddamn boat to go to the fairy island, and fuck, what was it, like, one chapter a year, and some years didn't have them? A grueling case. No, grueling is too polite. What's crazy is that not even that, he would then stop writing it to write other things.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Actually, you made that weird primordial godmonger. So, for perspective, before our show ever existed, and kind of when we knew each other in college, except for me. I didn't know you guys at all. That's when Guts got on the fucking boat, because I still remember you were going out and buying new chapters of Berserk. No, I went to Chinatown, and I bought Chinese versions of them that I couldn't read. I just wanted to look at the naked ladies, and the cuttings off as heads with the dragon's
Starting point is 00:03:14 flair. This is weird. The fact that Berserk is, like, back is freaking out. It's like a chapter of your life. Yeah, well, there's pre-boats, boats, and post-boats. Then there's post-post-boat, post-post-boat. So, how does it feel to live in a post-boat world? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:31 And, like... Yeah, they're going to have to get back on the boat to go to another location. Is it a spoiler to say he got off the boat, or has it been long enough? Like, it's confusing. Spoilers for Berserk is so fucking weird, because it's not over. 89. But it came out, and it started at 89. Yeah, it just put it to me.
Starting point is 00:03:48 And the anime started in, like, 97. Yeah. You think Kostka's going to get okay by the end of this new arc? Here's what they would Berserk, and I think I'm pretty sure he's going to get on another boat. We at least mention on the LP is that I would be really pissed if Berserk ends on a sucky, like... Everything was great.
Starting point is 00:04:09 I want there to be an happy ending. Everyone has to die. Everyone has to die. Everyone has to die. No. Everyone has to die, but they have to die in an awesome, cool way that solves the problem. There was a point, like, two, three years ago, where I was getting pissed at nothing because it was like, I'm going to die, and Griffith isn't going to get his.
Starting point is 00:04:27 My will legitimately not be surprised if Guts died, and then his adventures continued in the afterlife. He's sure. Yeah. He's sure. Gotta kill God now. That's what I'd accept it. That's what I'd do right now.
Starting point is 00:04:40 I would accept it. I would kill a hand of God. No, the heart of darkness. The heart of the God. That fucking chapter. Yeah. That got cut. Don't be, I hope Casca, like, just wanders off and does her own thing, and Guts falls
Starting point is 00:04:52 in love with Slen. Yeah. Well, I gotta ask you. God, I'm sure everyone would be super human with that. Well, yeah, I need to ask you. I've been asking it for a while, and I never got a satisfactory answer. Do you think, like, Casca's your favorite character in Resert, more or less. Yeah, pretty much.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Do you think there's a possibility that she's just going to go back to normal and become a real character again? If so, how would you feel about that? To be fair, she almost did in the game. Almost. The game is canon, as far as I know. Willie was tearing up in a burger joint. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Just hearing about that. Yeah, because he asked us to explain it, and he's like, oh, it's no big deal. And when you told him, and he started to tear up, and he was, like, looking at himself like, what is happening? I'm not supposed to care this much. I have to order my burger. I don't think. It was this really sweet touching moment.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I don't think it'll actually happen. No, of course not. And I think if anything like it happens, it'll happen in a way where it's actually, like, deceitful. Yeah. It might seem like it's all good for, like, two panels. And then she'll die. And then bullshit.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Yeah. Well, so. It could be anything at this point. I expect no or trickery is my answer. I think she's going to get better and then die horribly, like, within a couple chapters. Hey, what's the kid's name? What's the lord's... Within the arc.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Her weird... No, the... Oh, the long-haired, the black, long-haired... No, no. What? The little kid with the daggers, the fire daggers, the stupid little kid. Isidro. Isidro.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Yeah. He should die. Ah, he's cool. Have everyone in the team die, except for Serpico and Farnese, and have them go on and have them have their own manga. I don't want to see an adventure. Their cool characters, but they can't... Farnese is the best.
Starting point is 00:06:34 They can't, they can't carry an entire show, manga, whatever. Okay. Let's share Tagalong. Okay. I don't know how to pronounce your name. Not unlike us. I can't pronounce a lot. I love, I love Shirk.
Starting point is 00:06:45 We can barely carry an entire podcast. You mean Gatsu? No. Gatsu is a Z. Gatsu. Gatsu. Mira, Mira says it's guts, shut up, band of the hawk. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Yeah. You guys have a cool name for a translation group. Shut up. And that's all you got. You've been fighting this fight for 20 years. You're not gonna win. And you're wrong. The creator says you're wrong.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Welcome to episode 121. What's... Oh, fuck. No, I'm sorry. Liam, Liam, go. Go. Liam, what's... Go.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Tell me, tell me an interesting thing about the number 121. Okay. I just want you to make sure that you understand. This is never going away. Oh, yeah. Because you were... Tell me an interesting thing about the number 121. 121 is the number of points required for you to win a game of Krippage.
Starting point is 00:07:38 What's Krippage? I guess it is. For old ladies, I think. I guess. Old ladies at the old folks' home play Krippage, and usually I thought they'd want to get to 61. Or they could play that too. Now you're gonna...
Starting point is 00:07:49 Or Machiball, or you... A lawnmowing. Oh, yeah. The shit you put on the Krippage. That's playing cards. Yeah. Shuffleboard. Shuffleboard.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Thanks for that juicy tidbit. There you go. Now I can impress my grandparents. Liam, you'll play Krippage. You'll play Krippage. There you go. Give me my gun. Any tidbit about things that old people do is incredibly juicy.
Starting point is 00:08:10 It's not dried out. Like the old people. That's right. It's not dried out like our throats will be in L.A. Oh, yeah. That's gonna be good. Oh! Was that...
Starting point is 00:08:21 Was that... Are we just... Oh! Talk to my roster too. Yeah, right. Oh, this podcast. This is not when it comes up yet. Yeah, whatever.
Starting point is 00:08:29 We're flying there and whatnot. But I might make more thirsty water-based puns as this podcast goes on. Why would you be thirsty in L.A.? They have no water. They have no water. Oh! Yeah. Is it like a perishable find to bring water and just pour it on the ground there?
Starting point is 00:08:45 Well, if you do that, somebody will come up and start licking the street. Well, but then... Because you want footage of that. I'll imagine not being able to bring fluids over, you know, plane distance. Because I want to bring one of my delicious East Coast water that I covet and love. I do want to visit the big nothing of Malibu. The big nothing. And the salt fields of Malibu.
Starting point is 00:09:06 You know what you need to do? You need to go over to Max's house and start watering his lawn so that he goes, oh, jail. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Strong. Tactical lawn watering action. You left the sprinklers on? No! No!
Starting point is 00:09:18 And Swat just knocks down. Oh! Oh! Dude. Just turn on all the taps while you're recording. No. What's that? It's Matt breaking the law.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Yeah, you can't... No, I'm not... I have diplomatic immunity. No, you don't? Yeah, I do. You don't? That's not how it works. I'm from another country.
Starting point is 00:09:39 That's... That's so not... Did you even watch Lethal Weapon 2? Well, then just you and your girlfriend do it at the same time. Because... Wife. Oh, yeah. Wife.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Wife. Oh, yeah. Wife. Because, well, actually that plays into it, because a husband and wife can't be convicted of the same crime. It's true. That's... That's called double jeopardy, I believe.
Starting point is 00:10:00 That's not true. Oh, God. Oh, I got the worst lawyers. Oh, that's great. That's great. All right, then there's a version of that in the Sopranos where it's like... A wife can't testify against her husband, don't you know? No, that's not true.
Starting point is 00:10:12 It can't be compelled to testify. Fuck. Yeah. Don't get that joke. Please go watch the rest of the development. It's good. The whole premise. Liam, walk us through seven days in your eyes.
Starting point is 00:10:26 This week, I played some video games. What? I finished Super Star Wars. We are stealing my note tech. Yeah. Well, because I realized it was a good idea. If you have a lot of stuff to talk about, it's... Especially if there's like a list of games.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Just write the keynote. Exactly. So, is Super Star Wars still super hard? It's super hard, and it's a really good port. And see, that's a problem, because it fixes the frame rate. Oh, no. So, when you do the force jump, when you're spinning, it's just... It doesn't have the cool slowdown, right?
Starting point is 00:10:54 Well, there's that, but there's stuff where like, enemies spawn too quickly, because the game's supposed to run at like 20 FPS or less. Sorry, I just thought of the idea of Mega Man X Armadillo stage. Not having that? Not having that slowdown, and I got upset. That would be the worst port. I got so mad. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:11:12 This thing that doesn't exist. How does your axe have that, because it doesn't fuck it? Like, someone can just take the footage of that stage, and just speed that part up to normal speed, and I would fucking lose it. You wouldn't like it. I get so mad. I'm sure there's a version out there that has that. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:11:26 There, it just hit me. Oh, God. That would suck shit. Enraging. Otherwise, like, it's pretty good. I finished it on the hardest difficulty, and then went back, and finished it on the easiest difficulty, because I wanted to see. And it's fun to play on the easy difficulty,
Starting point is 00:11:41 but it becomes trivial at that point. It's like, it's like playing Guitar Hero at a high thing. Yeah. Dude, playing Guitar Hero on easy mode is the most intense shit in the universe. Yeah, because every fuck-up could... Like, Willie and I used to, like, we got really good at Guitar Hero 2 to the point where we'd always tie out on the expert songs, so we decided to take it down a notch and play easy mode duels,
Starting point is 00:12:05 in which you have 10 full seconds to watch it come out. And you're waiting, and you're waiting, and you fuck it out. And then you choke, and then you'll never come back. No idea how hard it is. That's the real battle. Dude, I know. Guitar, the first fuck-up is in itself. All my fucking Elite Beat Agents games,
Starting point is 00:12:20 I have, like, S-Ranks on all difficulties, and going back to easy. It's totally hard to do that. The worst part is that you get so used to expert in the fast note highways that you hit the button way before it's about to hit the thing. Yeah, exactly. So, Liam, November being the sagat of the year, we are now...
Starting point is 00:12:39 The coolest month of the year? The second to last boss! Oh, okay. I didn't get that. No, no, no. Look at me, I was also confused. I am. The month with an eye patch?
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah, that's what I thought. I believe you had a goal of hitting 52 games? Yeah, okay. Talk to me. You want an update on that? I'm at 49. You're crazy. That's not bad.
Starting point is 00:13:02 You're gonna do it. I should finish Assassin's Creed Syndicate any day, because I'm at the last memory, whatever the fuck. Okay. And then two others, probably gonna finish Sword Art, and I don't know what the other one is. Not bad.
Starting point is 00:13:15 I think I'll have it done. Try Old Blood. You can bang that. Oh, yeah, maybe I could. Should I play that before? It's fine. It's fine? It's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Once you climb that mountain and look up, you'll see Shmup Godpat's face in the sky. At a hundred and eight? I'm not trying to compete. He's dead. No, I know. His face will still be there. If I was trying to compete,
Starting point is 00:13:35 I'd stop playing Resident Evil Revelations 2, which for some reason, I'm still playing. I'd start playing mobile games. Listen. Yeah, exactly. If you're actually competing, just start min-maxing your time on the shortest, shittiest game. I'm just trying to finish the games in my back pocket.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Do you put towards LP games into this? If I played it. So we'll be Devil's Third, dude. That's true. And I'm gonna count Devil's Third, because I played through the whole game. Did I not play through the whole game? No, that's weird.
Starting point is 00:14:04 I counted Metal Gear. Because I would count Metal Gear for me, even though I barely played it. But you didn't play. You know, there's some hours of it. No, but you were there. There's definitely some backloggery fuckers out there that are writing like, Bubs?
Starting point is 00:14:15 I had that moment where I went to backloggery, and I did it. This was like two years ago, and I put it all in, and I looked at it, and then I said, well, now that I understand the scope of the problem, time to never attempt this.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Let me ignore the problem. The Steam library thing makes it impossible. If you had a good PC, and you hit a Steam sale at least once, your backlog is now undefeatable. Yeah. So like, yeah, Super Star Wars is pretty good, but only for people who either want a masochistic game
Starting point is 00:14:45 or a complete cakewalk, depending on which difficulty you want. There's an audience. Yeah, maybe wait for a price drop, but it's pretty good. I move skywalk, I grab my size. It's good though, and it feels so Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:14:57 It's got the music. It's got everything you want. So it's pretty cool. They should have ported that PS1 Episode 1 game. Oh, I'm sure. That top-down piece of shit. There's one. It was an Episode 1 game,
Starting point is 00:15:06 and the PSX that I read there was not too bad. It's the one I'm referring to. It's a piece of shit. Another game I played. I played TeslaGrad. I don't know if you guys have heard of that. It's a 2D platformer. It's kind of Metroid-like,
Starting point is 00:15:18 but with much... Well, there's basically no combat in the game. Okay. Aside from the bosses, there's no... There's like two enemies that appear here and there, but they're...
Starting point is 00:15:28 It's not a combat-focused game. And it's... You go into this big tower, and you Metroid your way through the tower, and you get new powers and stuff. Game's only about two hours long, but it's a really good two hours. And I was like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:15:40 Why isn't it... Where is this at? It's on... We knew it's on sale right now. It was given away on PS Plus for PS4, PS3, and Vita. So it's all over the place. I think it's on PC.
Starting point is 00:15:51 It might be on Xbox, pretty much everywhere. It's really, really good. Quite short, but it's really tight. And yeah, like I was saying, I was wondering why nobody's talking about this game. I went and looked at the reviews, and they're glowing.
Starting point is 00:16:01 It's got multiple 90s on Metacritic. So I was like... What's the catch? There's no catch. It just didn't get... It might be because it's super short, or it just doesn't catch the end. It just didn't pick up.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I think the art style's not particularly appealing. I remember though the art quality is very good. But yeah, a really good game. I blasted through that the other night. Just really fun, really well-made game. By reading games. Have they done anything else?
Starting point is 00:16:24 I don't think so. And there's a retail release coming next year, surprisingly, but anyway. One other thing I got this week was I got this completely frivolous toy. Here, Pat, I'll let you look at it first. I'd like to look at this frivolous toy. Look at it.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Can you identify what that is? This is a... Is that a DS? This looks like a fucking retro-fitted out of DS-like parts. You got your fucking... You got your GBA. Gameboy Macro.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Yeah, exactly. But Macro... They came in the mail? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, remember when you were looking at those... It's made out of DS-like parts. It's made out of half a DS-like. Yeah, so this is the bottom half of a DS-like.
Starting point is 00:17:02 So there's a guy out there, I don't remember his name, but he's making these Gameboy Macros, where basically he takes either a DS or a DS-like per what you ask, and he chops it in half, and he fixes it all up. You see, he actually did redo all the molding
Starting point is 00:17:18 and stuff on the top. It's a little pointy on the bottom ends. Like, he was hitting... That's how the DS was, exactly. Nintendo handhelds. He put a speaker on the back of it right there, because the speakers are usually on the top. He changed the charger from micro-USB
Starting point is 00:17:32 instead of the, like, proprietary Nintendo stuff. Feels good. Wait for it on Twitter to have a bunch of questions. Like, where can I get this? I already tweeted about it. Everyone's already gotten the info. Does it have a... It does have a Nintendo DS slot at the top.
Starting point is 00:17:45 It does have a DS card slot. That would be... that would work. Yeah, so I've been looking into it really aggressively. There's about 30 to 40 games that you can play with only the bottom screen. Like, really thoroughly. Like, Final Fantasy III, perfect. Man.
Starting point is 00:17:59 The Castlevania games, perfect. Resident Evil DS, perfect. Except the map is on the top screen, so it depends on your knowledge of the Spencer State. So for me, perfect. For most people, not. Yeah, exactly. But some games are completely perfect,
Starting point is 00:18:11 and then it's for the GBA slot is what it's for. Yeah, you know what? We are holding that. It makes me think. It makes me think, man, the DS Lite was... and all the DS family, except for the first one, felt way better in the hand than the entire 3DS family.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Yeah. Well, I haven't held them in a long time, but yeah, you're probably... No, absolutely. The DS Lite's still the best-looking Nintendo console ever. That's not a good question. There's no question. That's feeling too.
Starting point is 00:18:35 No, no, the best one is the one we never got, the panda. Yeah. I saw some people... The test kit panda? Well, we... I saw some people create pandas. That's just the name of the test kit, isn't it? No, but it was just black and white.
Starting point is 00:18:45 It was the best. The color is what makes it a winner. Sure. I've seen people create pandas themselves. Yeah, of course. You just mix and match, yeah. It's like that. I had a PSP that I had to repair multiple times,
Starting point is 00:18:56 and that became a panda. Yeah, and eventually you had the fucking God of War faculty. I did not. Yeah. I did not. But yeah, that too many games booth was the best, man. Well, yeah, I got my copy of Mother 3 right in there.
Starting point is 00:19:07 There you go. Like, it's... Yeah, that's a fucking novelty. It's super frivolous. Okay, you can just go buy a DS Lite for like 50 bucks. This was $150. I don't want to do that again. Yeah, but like, that's like your...
Starting point is 00:19:22 For that game... Yeah. Like, you have forced yourself into the ideal method to play it. This is the ultimate ultra-ridiculous power user. I want Game Boys that don't exist product. Yeah. But it's really, really nifty. I hope the NX is...
Starting point is 00:19:39 Perfect for playing your cartridges that don't exist. Perfect for playing those. Exactly. That the NX handheld feels like that. Yeah, for sure. Because that feels good and light and like... I'd be so okay with them going back to one screen, honestly. They better.
Starting point is 00:19:54 It's been a minute. We've had enough dual screens and they've shown with the 3DS that they don't give a shit about making dual screen experience as great anymore. And they've shown with the Wii U that they don't give a shit about dual screen experience. It's true. It's... Yeah, well, I'm not going to fight you there, but... Yeah, neat device.
Starting point is 00:20:09 That's a really cool one. I'm excited. I ordered a bunch of games like Ninja Gaiden, Dragon Sword, which of course only uses the bottom screen as well. Fuck, I wish I could order a copy of Ninja 5.0 and give me a raise and I'll buy a copy of Ninja 5.0. How much does Ninja 5.0 cost? Hundreds.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Fuck that. It's not an expensive game. It's like for an actual cartridge. Probably the most expensive, if not one of the... It's the best Ninja Gaiden game that's not a Ninja Gaiden game. I see. Also the best Bionic Commando game that's not a Bionic Commando game. Like, fucking incredible game.
Starting point is 00:20:39 So you saw it. I remember that streamer I told you about, Murphigator. Yeah. He did a really awesome run of Ninja 5.0 game as well. It's a sick game. It was about... Go play that game. Go emulate that game.
Starting point is 00:20:51 You'll enjoy yourself. DS emulation is always... You have William's Blessing. No, this is the GBA. This is the GBA. So it's perfect. You can play it on anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:00 He condones it. He gives it his blessing. Hey, if they're not selling the game anymore... Of course not. If the game doesn't exist anymore... Yeah. Before it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Exactly. That's pretty much my week. That's it. Cool. Video games. I'm looking at you. I played The Old Hunters. It's hard.
Starting point is 00:21:18 It's fucking difficult, isn't it? It's quite difficult. You didn't even get to the hard part. We didn't even get to the hard part. Yeah. I know. Continuing to save my time into front mission and... Oh man.
Starting point is 00:21:30 We need to talk more about front mission. Because when you did last week, I got a bunch of people asking me, What the fuck pilot trick are you talking about, Pat? It was the one that we... It was the one that we... Yeah. You guys put it on the channel. I wasn't in it.
Starting point is 00:21:44 So I don't really know. Could you LP that game? One of those things where it's like, No. I don't know. I don't know. Here's... We talked about it.
Starting point is 00:21:52 We did talk about it. And here's what we got to. And now that it's fresh in my mind, I still feel that here's the problem. The problem is that the missions... Are long. And they're just moving boxes away. They're involved. Imagine LPing FF Tactics.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Right? Which is another thing we've talked about. And then threw in the garbage. Yeah. It would be interesting while people are talking. Put it on fast forward and talk over the map. While cutscene and story is moving. But tactical missions are LP fucking suicide.
Starting point is 00:22:23 I asked somebody... Somebody asked me yesterday, I think. It's like, Hey, did you guys ever think about doing Dragon's Dogma? It's like, Yeah. Yeah, we did. We totally did. We were gonna do it. We started to play it to re-familiarize myself.
Starting point is 00:22:36 And it's like, that game has absurd amounts of downtime. Like create like hours. And for you to play the game, that's awesome. Because you want that pacing. But for watching? And you know, and like a lot of people are revisiting the topic as well. Because of our talk about like really long RPGs and stuff. With FF currently going on FF10.
Starting point is 00:22:58 That's which is up now. Yeah. Right, right. It's up. No, I know it is. I'm just making sure you know it. We didn't accidentally like another YouTube video. No, that's correct.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Yeah. With that going out there. FF10 is a game with surprisingly little downtime. Yes. Because it's a straight line. You know? Because I told Woolly, like, Guess what?
Starting point is 00:23:21 Wait for the Indiana Jones scene where it shows your fucking plane moving from one area to the next. Because you don't get to choose. Battles are pretty short and sweet. And you move to the next, like, story point, story beat, I should say, fairly quickly. Yeah. You just got to the laugh, by the way. Like, well, he was barely ready. Front Mission 3 is a kind of game.
Starting point is 00:23:43 It's like, I don't know. Like Bloodborne and the Souls series, like, those games are very slow moment to moment as well. But something is always happening. But there's nothing but new information coming forward. Yeah. Whereas, I don't know. Like, unfortunately, I don't think it is. Game 3 is the kind of LP that one person does over a year as a side project and doesn't talk for most of it.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Right. Right? Like, there's just nothing really going on. Like, the kind of thing that, like, German Spy does. Right? Like, he's doing Persona 3. Or maybe he finished Persona 3. I was like, he's talking here and there.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Like, he doesn't seem to be doing it the whole time because it's like, let the game speak for itself in a lot of cases. Or you need to, like, heavily edit out the gameplay. Oh, yeah. It looks so good. I know. Like, that's the compromise that you don't ever want to do. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:31 And that's what it comes down to. That's a game for one person. With not. We've thought about a lot of games or whatever that we do it. And then it's like, it's almost like a yes, but then there's just one element where it's like no. It's a fantastic game. The pacing is not great for LPs. That's just sad reality.
Starting point is 00:24:47 It's a shame because that game's the best. Levi contacted me and was like, hey man, hey. So you guys mentioned Front Mission and I played it. What the hell? How did I miss this? People missed it. He's playing Front Mission 3 now? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:00 People missed it. And he asked me questions like, how do you do the network? Am I doing it right? It's like, okay. I don't know because I had a magazine called Expert Gamer at the time that is now gone. I threw it out when I moved. Yeah. And that thing had all the parts and it had all the network stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:18 And so then I went online to Game Facts like, okay, let's see what the network, oh man, dude, dude. Honestly, there is no, you like, the network guide that is there is a translation guide for the Japanese version. Yeah. You just need to, the networking is like, it's just using the internet with a bunch of predetermined websites. And you just move around it. You need to go to them and read and pay attention. And do every single thing after every single mission. I should buy that game right now.
Starting point is 00:25:45 It's so good, dude. You should. Every mission should buy it right now. I played the first hour at a friend's place. So let me buy that game. It's a sleepover. Let me buy that game right now. At that time, Xenogir's and Front Mission 3 came out.
Starting point is 00:25:58 And I feel like those two felt like Dead Space and Mirror's Edge. These are the best four out of five games ever. Yeah. God fucking Dead Space. I know, like it's, you're customizing your mech parts not at the level of Armored Core, but at a level that is still satisfactory. It's your arms, your legs, your head, your pilot data, your weapons, your shields. Are you going for shields?
Starting point is 00:26:23 I'm going for shields. I'm going for some guys. Okay. For some guys. I'm going with custom layouts. What's Kazuki rocking right now? Right now, my Kazuki's rocking Shotgun in one hand and Fear Fist in the other. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:35 You kept the primary layout that he starts with. I want him to get close to everyone. It's a good layout. It feels good. My best friend buddy, Ryogo, is just tearing it up with the machine gun. Yeah. Because they start with high skill. Almost everybody starts with high skills and something.
Starting point is 00:26:54 So it's weird to, you can change it to one or the other. But like pulling a rifle off of Dennis is never a good idea. I feel like though, like the weight system in the game makes it so that it's going to be almost impossible for me to like have two weapons and two shoulder weapons. It's actually totally impossible. Okay. That never happens. Ever.
Starting point is 00:27:13 It's specifically designed around that. I see. Okay. What you can have in a lot of cases is one hand weapon, a shield and a shoulder weapon. I was able to get that. And that compromises your life heavily. Yeah. But that shield, man, that thing is the shit.
Starting point is 00:27:30 You get the ones that block six times, that six missile hits. And then like ever since that trick, which we talked about, it's in the video. It's a fucking 90 minute long video. Yeah. It's in the video, but it basically what it amounts to is like sometimes pilots, when they're low enough on life or like if their shit's been damaged and they can't really do anything, enemy pilots will surrender or they'll start to surrender. It'll say surrendering and it'll be a flashing white flag.
Starting point is 00:27:55 They're considering not fighting basically. The mechanic there is that if you shoot them once more, then they will flee their mech. They will fully surrender. They will just totally give up. You take their shit. But the flashing white flag means they're thinking about it. And what you're supposed to do is shoot it with your mech and the risk is that you actually blow it up.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Right. Or damage the parts. What you can do is you can eject your pilot and have them get out on foot and have them shoot it with their pistol. Fucking pistol. And it takes two turns, but they do one damage. So you're not going to blow it up. And the guy immediately runs away and you get to keep all the parts that they leave behind
Starting point is 00:28:27 and sell it. It's the best way to make money. Which you can sell, salvage, or straight up like just jump it. So when you end up finding like real numbers and imaginary numbers and they're coming out with like Langheed 3's and these super high end Special Forces mechs and Chunyos and stuff like that, if you get them to surrender, you get super high end parts for your mechs. It's really, really great. I'm so happy you're done.
Starting point is 00:28:50 And there's a bunch of enemies where I'm like edging his life and I'm like fucking surrender asshole. Did you get to the Methane Bonzers yet? Not yet. Dammit. Anyway, so yeah, not much to say except. Methane Bonzers are great. This has, it's just like there's no dips in quality anywhere in this game so far.
Starting point is 00:29:10 I don't even have like, there's not even anywhere in like the future. Front mission evolved, full LP confirmed. It's one of the most rock solid games ever in terms of like just, it's the same quality the whole time and then you get to the Elisa campaign and her campaign starts to shoot. It has a higher curve because it's longer. It's like 20 missions longer. I fucked myself over and part of the networking because I downloaded an encryption program and then I encrypted a file that I was supposed to decode.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Oh no. So I can't do anything with that until I find a decryptor and then a decode. Did you vote for Miss Tehoku University? I did not. Oh because if you do near the end of the game Elisa will be voted Miss Tehoku University. Oh shit. And then you get a wallpaper of her like a bikini or some shit. That's good stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:04 And then I don't got to get on that because she's supposed to be my sister. You're nominated by blood though. You're not really sister. It's just like Sorter. Don't worry about it. Have you ever looked at Front Mission 5? No. Front Mission 5 is the most amazing game that you can't play.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Don't. You'll cry. Okay. It's somewhere on my computer there exists an ISO of that game completely head to toe translated. Wait what? Is there a translation? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:38 It's complete? It's complete translation. Shit. Well the version I have is missing like some whatever it's the last version that ever came out. And here's the problem with Front Mission 5 and I started to play it and I was like oh my god I've been waiting for this translation project for like five years and I got it and then it's not enough.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Because Front Mission 3 is the weird black sheep that it doesn't factor into the stories of any of the other games. Front Mission 1, 2, 4 are all about the same war. Not 1 and 3 but it's all about this one conflict. Three references is it? Yeah. Three references is it because 3 is the farthest in the future and 2 is the war. One is how the war starts and 4 is like behind the scenes of that same war I think.
Starting point is 00:31:23 And 5 is okay it starts way before and it follows one character through their life like every five years and jumps between game and game and game but it doesn't explain what time you're in. It just assumes that you remember everything about Front Mission 1, 2 and 4. So when you play it as a person that those games never came out here or they only came out of DS games. There's a problem. I don't know what's happening.
Starting point is 00:31:47 I don't know what's going on and it's a huge bummer. Don't play Front Mission 4. That game sucks. Alright so basically once I'm done with this that's it. Yeah. Play Evolved and wait for the picture. Well you're going to play one of the longest tactical RPGs you've ever played in your life and then I'm going to say go play the real campaign which is 20 missions longer.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Yeah. But it's just sad though to think there's no like nothing to get excited about. Move on to the greener pastries of Steel Battalion. There we go. There we go. Well they say Square Enix like there was the rumor about a new Front Mission 1. It was nice to be able to beat like P3 and then have so much waiting for me. So I went to go see Straight Outta Compton finally and that's a good movie man.
Starting point is 00:32:36 It's the part where Sugnite killed those people in the movie. So here's the thing. Sugnite is, Sugnite is bills above himself in the movie and they still held back. Yeah. They could have been so much more real. You can't let the kids know about it. You know like I'm watching the part. This horrible murderer.
Starting point is 00:32:54 You can't let the kids know about it. And the actor playing him is fucking nailing it and I'm watching the part where they've got like a naked random guy probably a crypt like under a table with his dog being held at the guy's like head like about to eat him basically and I'm like yeah no that's every day shenanigans in Sugnite world. That's everything at the night home. But what about the guy that they kidnapped and who went missing for three days and then was found wandering the streets naked and when they asked him what happened he said
Starting point is 00:33:26 he didn't remember. Sugnite. You know what happened to the lady that he punched and like almost put into a coma. Okay what about Ice Cube's son that plays Ice Cube. Right. It's fucking incredible. Yeah. What a good casting.
Starting point is 00:33:44 That happens so rarely where you can get your son that looks like you to play you in the movie about you. You're gonna grow up to be me. No for real. What is in manneth with the Iron Fist was played by his cousin. Oh that's good. Oh really. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I didn't know that. That's tough. Man. He's got the same face. You know. That's tough. But no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Not much to say except like the way to like like of course you just you know it's a biopic so they made a good movie and they like definitely lost over some of the apparently Dre has had some troubles in the past and they they gloss over I don't think it was that bad. I remember reading up and people talking about it. It's like hey is that thing where such and such just beats some lady for no reason gonna be in the movie like no because they're executive producers. They're gonna make themselves look cool.
Starting point is 00:34:33 They're gonna grow it. Well I can only imagine. Well I'll tell you what is gonna be in the movie at the end some beats by Dre. I will say. Does it fast forward to modern day and it's like look where they are now. Look at me. I'm a giant swollen he-man now. Okay so they're like donating blood.
Starting point is 00:34:50 It ends at the exact perfect moment like this set up for it is like a conversation that would never happen in real life. Yeah. Right. Where it's like oh spoilers it's history. I don't if you care about the spoilers of the ending of this movie then don't listen. Lincoln dies and Winnigan. It's like Dre basically walking out on chug night and like it's obvious that's like okay
Starting point is 00:35:11 you can't take anything with you because she would murder you and so it's like just take your life and go. Yeah. And be happy with that. Oh chug night. And on the way out you know like shook turds and he goes what you gonna call that bullshit you're starting now anyway. And he goes after man.
Starting point is 00:35:27 After man. Oh my god I'm so bad. I'm not about that. And I was like ahhh yeah. You even recollably came up like 20 years later. It's fine. It's fine. No.
Starting point is 00:35:39 No. No. No. That's the perfect place. You know what should happen. Young Bruce Lee should have walked in and did the nose. The nose too. The top bite.
Starting point is 00:35:47 I forgot about that. Yeah. Young Han Solo. Han Solo. Han Solo guys. Instead of production babies and the credit does it have production murders? Oh man. Why would why should not ask that question?
Starting point is 00:36:01 Yeah what you gonna call that shit and then little baby Eminem walks into the scene and he's like yo I killed my little baby girlfriend in the back of my trunk. And then over the credits to answer your question it doesn't fast forward but it does like a little live action thing over the credits. Not live action but showing real footage of the real and then we went over the credits and Eminem says something, Fuddy says something and then you see some headphones. Does it got ice cube talking about how he never wants to make kids movies? No.
Starting point is 00:36:35 I don't think they do. No. That's a passion now. I still think. Passion. Oh god what the fuck was it Boondocks or they're talking about Ice Cube and Riley just getting that guy made all those kids movies. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Like aren't we there yet? The fucking sharpest stab knife in the back. Well it's like it's fucking sad but it's true that like this movie taught people about the fact that yeah actually he used to be a rapper. The best divide is showing the picture of him with like a safety vest in a canoe in like white person city, forest, Oregon and he's taking his family out and then the picture right next to him is him with two M16s and he has a shirt that says cop killer. And also the idea that there were rappers that died before Poc.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Oh shit. What? Many before and many after. Not one ever. Are you telling them one ever right now? I thought the big deal about Tupac's death was that it was so rare for rappers to die that everyone was shocked. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:40 That was apparently Shug Knight also. The conspiracy is he's involved in some way shapeshifting. That's the best one I've heard. Go watch the documentary. It answers tons of questions. But guess you know EZE was there and everyone was like who the fuck, who they didn't know you know. But that was another really accurate portrayal as well.
Starting point is 00:38:03 I think we did a good job with that. When are we going to get our Wu Tang movie? Probably sooner than you think man. I wouldn't be surprised. I wanted to be entirely from ODB's perspective. Cause Riz has been working in the first person perspective. Like the movie Hardcore. Him going down to the fucking welfare office.
Starting point is 00:38:22 With all these kids in first person view. Yeah dude. Fucking god. In a limo. It's fucking beautiful. Have a good night. Yeah and I started reading this manga called Tepu. Tepu.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Tepu. Which means iron wind. And you know that doesn't really hit. No. Whatever. They call it iron wind. It's about MMA girls. Okay well where can I get this?
Starting point is 00:38:52 Is it about farts or what? Type T-E-P-P-U-U into the Google. Can I download this? Tomorrow? You can. Tepu. Oh yeah I've seen this before. Cause remember there was that wrestling anime.
Starting point is 00:39:04 It's pretty cool. Where I was like I really want to watch an anime or read a manga where it's like cool fighting girls. But not this. Yeah. So is it this? So Mothman recommended it to me. As he does.
Starting point is 00:39:18 And I went to Google image search and I was like the first thing I clicked on was this picture of a girl who were the type you need to another girl's face. And she doesn't even care. And the body types are accurate to what MMA fighters should look like. And what girls in fighting games should look like. Look at her leg. How it turns into a weird crescent whip thing. And I'm like yeah I'm fucking sold.
Starting point is 00:39:44 This is my true attack. I'm so sold. That's fine. That's a good timing considering the big explosion over at Rousey. What's her name? Holly. Yeah. Ronda Rousey and Holly.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Like that's the perfect timing. Exactly. But no. Cause I just I got into talking. That's fucking cool. It is cool man. Look it's good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I got into talking about. I was talking to Plague on his Picardo stream about like how we both like when like someone who's a girl who's in a fighting game or in or are supposed to be a fighter. Yeah. It's they were there believably. That's why Mia is a great dead or alive fighter. Built that way. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:40:23 It's too bad Japan is. No it's actually sarcastic. But the thing is that it's no but she actually does look more like a believable fighter than anyone else. And the truth is that like the Ronda Rousey explosion of attention is actually. Well that's gone now. But it's actually good. Well everyone likes to fucking like to see a hero fall as it were you know.
Starting point is 00:40:42 But it's interesting because that being in the spotlight is showing people like what those characters are in fiction would look like. Yeah. Because otherwise they just have would have no concept of it. And they have little fucking capoeira girls throwing their butts out and her turn. Hey you know what like you know who knew about this before. Who the guys who made Jackass they knew. Because like when they made Jackass one and they had Ryan Dunn fight that fucking female
Starting point is 00:41:08 time kickboxer. Oh yeah. Right. So that's giving them a little too much credit but sure. I think any credit you give to Jackass is probably too much credit. And that's deserved. But yeah no. Lady kickboxers and MMA fighters are cool.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Yeah. I'm one volume in. Scary. Very scary. I'm one volume in and it's pretty good. The main character is basically a Satsuki type. Yeah. So fucking hates everything and everyone.
Starting point is 00:41:34 She's a villain. Actually not an ice queen. She's actually a villain. Right. Okay. She's a villain. So. No.
Starting point is 00:41:42 No fucking cherubic god idol character like Ippo here. No. Or like or the Ryoko the Japanese judo hero where it's like she's super nice and happy but she just wrecks shop. It's not like that. No. She's super like. Hey Matt.
Starting point is 00:41:57 So now that guts is off the boat is the next. Well that's not confirmed yet. Is the next thing Ippo telling Kumi how he feels. No. That will happen after Berserk is maybe done. Probably on your deathbed. Yeah. You'll get the first half of that sentence before dying.
Starting point is 00:42:12 And we can all agree that Eren's going to get to the basement before either of those. He's going to confess to her while fighting. No. Eric. Ricardo. No. Rival that never goes anywhere. Oh.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Miata. Miata. No. Eren's going to open up the door and he's going to come into a scene of Ippo telling her how he feels. Hey let me ask you how do you think Ippo is going to end. Is it going to be he becomes the champ and then fights Miata or he beats Miata and then beats the champ.
Starting point is 00:42:43 No. If someone punches Ippo in the head he dies. I say it doesn't end. We flash forward. He's a coach of new talent. Oh yeah. But I mean what. They take Ippo's skeleton.
Starting point is 00:42:52 More than he doesn't win the championship. They take Ippo's skeleton or like his body and they taxidermy it and they put it in the fucking museum and they go look at his giant dick. Point at it and laugh. You press a button and an elephant. Yeah. And then every other guy in Japan goes what a freak. What a loser.
Starting point is 00:43:16 I gotta start reading that manga. Yeah. It's so far ahead. It's crazy. Apparently like all of Takamura's champ opponents are named different things. And one of them is the mouse. We still haven't gotten to the fucking wolfing strike. Still not.
Starting point is 00:43:32 But that's pretty much me. Let's take a quick word from our sponsors. Alright so look the theme of this month is apparently going to be galaxy. Well that's too broad. There's broad and then there's galaxy. Like the galactic scale. What's in a galaxy? Everything.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Everything. Everything you've ever known is in the Milky Way. Everything you've ever known or thought of. The only thing that's not in a galaxy is the universe. Well technically there's a little universe in all of us. Much smaller though. It's actually just Star Wars stuff. It's not necessarily just Star Wars stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:11 It's on point with the Star Wars release. It's not just Star Wars stuff. Tis the season to be Star Wars though. I'm looking at this ad copy and I see the word Halo 5. Halo 5 takes place in a galaxy and in space. That's not Star Wars. You're right. Don't tell me that Masterchef is part of Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Masterchef. They would have called it the Star Wars box if it was Star Wars. No it's general space galaxy stuff. Who would have tried Galactic Choking? The Arbiter or Darth Maul? Darth Maul for sure. Darth Maul for sure. Arbiter is Keith David.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Keith David never loses. Well there you go. Except in that movie that he lost. So when you open this box what should you expect? Keith laser's coming at your face but they won't hit you because the accuracy is terrible. Dude if you open this box and it was like a mirror set up with lasers shooting everywhere
Starting point is 00:45:03 I hope there's a Jar Jar shirt for lineage. It's quite possible that Keith David's alien face will jump out or maybe just hating Christian's and doing rape spins with his little lightsaber. Oh man. It just pops out of the box. You peek it open. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Yeah. There you go. Of course. The box. I killed them all. Even the children. Yeah. That happened in a galaxy far far away.
Starting point is 00:45:29 But in a galaxy way closer than that perhaps. Like your house. Your mailbox. That's cool. Wow. Your galactic mailman. You can receive a box with this type of stuff from the service known as Loot Crate.
Starting point is 00:45:42 That's crazy. You're crazy. That's a subscription box to your house every month for less than 20 bucks a month with six to eight items of culture, gamer gear, all that stuff, apparel, collectibles. And if you head on down to lootcrate.com. You head on to the promo code super.
Starting point is 00:45:58 You save three bucks on your new subscription. And what more is there to say? You want to sign up at 9 p.m. Pacific on the 19th if you want to get in on that month's box. Yeah. In which case the galaxy box. Use your light speed ordering action to get it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Yeah. What? No, I was trying to think of the right word to use. It's fine though. My very elegant mother just served us nine pizzas. Like galaxy box. Right? What the fuck are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:46:34 The order of the planets. You say order of the planets? My very elegant mother just served us nine pizzas but you can't say pizzas anymore. That's a solar system. That's not a galaxy. You got to think bigger. Because pizzas is trademarked.
Starting point is 00:46:44 You got to think bigger. That really huge star that makes the sun look like shit. Which one? There's like a hundred now. Oh man. And you go to the galactic core and it's just a million suns smashed together. Do they keep finding stars?
Starting point is 00:46:58 Yeah, I know it's crazy. They're out there. What a losers. That's out of control. Lootcrate.com slash super. Promo code super. Get the galaxy in a box. It's kind of scary but it's kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Intimidating but yeah. Thanks Lootcrate. Thanks Lootcrate. Thank you. All right so look apparently worlds just collided. Okay so for years, for years and years and years we've been waiting but Lootcrate has finally stepped off the boat. They are here today off the boat on land.
Starting point is 00:47:27 And what do they have? They have a new box just for you. And what's in this box? Apparently spices and treasures from the Orient. I was going to say right straight from the Mayan dynasty. No, straight from the emperor's garden itself comes Lootanime. Lootanime. It looks like a monthly crate of anime and manga gear.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Like Lootcrate. They dug this out of the anime mines? Specific to you. Oh man. Why is it Lootanime not anime crate? I mean it's anime loots. They probably want the loots. Loots them better.
Starting point is 00:48:05 It's more clear branding of what you're going at. If they stop using the words someone else can take it back. Lootanime crate might just be a small box with those blushing eyes drawn on it. It might be a loot bento box. If we had to drop all words but one from super best and friends which would be the right word to keep? Super? No, but friends.
Starting point is 00:48:26 What? Best? See? It's not easy. We're certainly not any of those. Anime? We'd keep anime. Anime friends.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Lootanime is a monthly mystery bundle of figures, collectibles, manga, general accessories and more from some of your favorite anime and manga series. And there's a new theme every month. So it's like a loot crate. It's like a loot crate. But you dived deeper and more specifically if all you care about is that anime. Word on the street is there's a $60 value in every crate. Word on the street?
Starting point is 00:48:56 You read that off the thing. Yeah. It is the street technically. The internet street. The internet street. But that might not be important to you. What you want to know is that that is a 73.87.20. What's that up?
Starting point is 00:49:09 It's 7,300 yen. It's created an impossible number. That is 7,300 yen in a crate. That's amazing. It's a bunch, man. It's okay. No, wait. It's not money in a crate.
Starting point is 00:49:21 It's not money. It's the value. You're not buying money. So what I'm seeing here is I'm seeing a picture of a fashion stampede plushie. I'm seeing a Fate State Night DVD. I'm seeing an anime shirt from an anime. I wonder if you squeeze it and it goes love and a piece. See, it's a playing card.
Starting point is 00:49:36 What's that shirt? What's that shirt? What's that shirt? What's that? Is that a soul eater? That's an anime shirt. Yeah. An anime.
Starting point is 00:49:44 An anime. So that's cool. And I think that it would be nice to get a nice little kind of statue commemorating guts getting off the boat. Yeah. That'd be a really cool anime. You got fooled by those 20 shops, too. You get the Black Swordsman box.
Starting point is 00:49:59 And you open it and it's just here. Oh, that would be cool. That's where it's at. We don't know. We hope that this idea travels and makes its way to the right people. I hope there's a crepe that's theme is just the great T-Race. Stop it. What do you got?
Starting point is 00:50:15 You got the Black Swordsman. You got T-Race. You got Database. There's so many good themes. So who created that? That idea is free. That idea is free. Unrecorded love.
Starting point is 00:50:25 You got a torso in your box and it cries. Man, there's a lot of potential here. There really is.

Starting point is 00:50:47 Yeah. Thanks, Ludecrate. Thanks, Ludecrate. Thank you for anime. What's going on? What's going on is I continue not to play Bloodborne, but I watch other people do it. You turn to be a scholar of Bloodborne. A scholar of some type of sin.
Starting point is 00:51:05 A scholar of the first sin, which is eating the blood. Yeah. And I've been watching Slowbeef's LP, which is amazing. I didn't know this. Him and Diabetic. Madden Joyce being cut to my Bloodborne. Yeah. They Skype it.
Starting point is 00:51:20 They Skype it, eh? They do their Bloodborne LP together, like we do. Yeah. So it's exact audio, and Diabetes is looking at a window of the game being played. It's pretty nuts. And I'm like, that's super smart. It's a lot of setup. It's a lot of setup.
Starting point is 00:51:38 If you're calm and speak like normal people, the war lag won't catch up with you. But if you're excited, talk over dick bags like we are, that's not gonna work. So that's been super entertaining. They're almost done the base game, and that's like well timed. I saw that there was a screenshot, this is Final Boss question mark, and it was Margot's wet nurse. Yeah. But as they go on that episode, they get to the actual kind of bosses of the game.
Starting point is 00:52:07 It's how it works in Souls games. We're like, oh my god, this is the final bosses? No, it's nuts. It's nuts, man. There's so many different ways to go through it. Plague's way was like going up to the end, and then restarting the game and doing the entire thing, and then streaming it again entirely, and then beating it. Yeah, because Plague is nuts.
Starting point is 00:52:29 It's crazy. Well, he puts up the big episodes. Plague also hates Bloodmore. Yeah, he hates Souls games in general. He hates it. So that's been really entertaining. That's one weird trick. That Plague hates it.
Starting point is 00:52:41 That's been really entertaining. I went to a place, remember that place you went to in Atlanta, the German place with all the beer and cider? Yeah, absolutely. Beer garden. I went to that in Montreal. Oh, beer markets. Pepino.
Starting point is 00:52:53 No. Pepino. Das beer. Das beer. Very, very similar. I had a good time. The real Rocky was there. We're prowling around and stuff.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Oh, I saw that picture. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I got like, there's a super pint of its mystique cider. Very, very good cider, by the way. I know. I'm well aware. I'm extremely aware. Very good.
Starting point is 00:53:15 First time I had it. So I downed an entire thing of that. And then the game is on. Yes. The hockey match. That's correct. And everyone was excited for the hockey match. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Were you excited for the hockey match? And I pretended to be excited for the hoppy match. There you go. The hoppy match. Yeah. It's that easy. Just lie. And we won the hoppy match.
Starting point is 00:53:34 So I'm glad that we won it. Yeah. Because everyone else seemed to be happy about it. So like, the same thing happened when me and you and the girlfriends were out. Exactly. And I got taken out for a little early birthday dinner since I'm not going to be here for next week. And it was nice, but fucking right under the TV.
Starting point is 00:53:54 What cracked me up about when the four of us were out is that every time that did, you know, goal, everyone would freak out. Me and your girlfriend didn't even blink. Was this the same match? Yeah. Was this the devils? No, but I wasn't. We wouldn't even blink.
Starting point is 00:54:09 And you and my girlfriend would just go, like, because everyone just starts screaming. Yeah. Because neither of you, like, would remember that can happen at any moment. Yeah, it can. Man. Well, that's why hockey is still the most exciting. Check this out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Because people get excited because there's goals. No, I saw this. Okay. Yeah. I saw this and I was just like, that's the best. And I scream up at my wife and go, how come you don't make me on their tail cards? Right? She probably doesn't even know what on her tail is.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Super cool. I know what she does. Oh, she does? Okay. Yeah. My girlfriend made me know her tail card. It's the fucking coolest. That's really cute.
Starting point is 00:54:46 That sounds like she was pretty determined. Tournament. There it is. There it is. There it is. We've completed it. We kind of had a little bit of a, after we got back from Dazbir or whatever, and we're hanging out with someone else, a friend of my wife's and stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:04 And then we accidentally broke a glass. It's on the floor. And then she's, we thought we cleaned up. So I'm still in a piece of glass and we're like, oh, I got it out or whatever. It's fine. And the next morning she said, my foot still really hurts. I'm like, it shouldn't, you know, like I've caught myself on a piece of glass. There's glasses.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Yeah. So eventually, because we know we're all you, I and her are going to LA. I'm like, you have to take care of this now. It still hurts. You go to LA. A, they won't be able to fix it. B, if they can, it'll cost you a million dollars. And C, you're going to be thirsty.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Even if you do Blue Cross. Even if you do Blue Cross, right? Yeah. So we went to, we went to Cross. Cross. And you just go in there like, watch out for the second bloody, bloody Blue Cross. Your doctor is this like mini fucking doctor. And he has like a coach doctor.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Hello, my name is Dr. Sakaguchi. Oh, your number, your number comes up and he does bison slide through the, through the doors. Cool. So, you know, there's that, that weird kind of like, what is it called? Like a hotel. Yeah. Hotel.
Starting point is 00:56:12 It's like this. Yeah. It's like this hospital like wrapped the block from us. I'm like, let's just, we woke up the next morning. I'm like, does your foot still hurt? Yes. My foot still hurts. We're going now.
Starting point is 00:56:20 So you carried her. And like, I hate hospitals so much, especially hospitals in Quebec because they're so fucking slow. Because there's one doctor for every million. Some people. And I'm just like, oh, gosh, it's going to take forever. And I'm forced to watch some French, French dubbed they forced you that I don't remember it came out.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Had Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds, Julia Roberts, and William Defoe, what the fuck movie is this? Right now. Please. And I'm like, what is this? And I'm just like, oh, God, I'm going to be here all day. It's going to suck. And then she's like, we're going to be here all day for whatever reason.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Yeah, you're next. And she goes in and yeah, fireflies in the garden. Fireflies in the garden. That was it. It says Jardinus. So she gets this piece of glass that was she's been stepping on it all yesterday. Sick. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:57:15 So it was stuck in there real hard. And they tore it out. They got it out and everything. That's great, dude. I was thankful for that. And last two things really quickly, woolly trainwreck, Judd Apatow. Watch trainwreck. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 00:57:30 A shimmer. I know. Super, super solid. Well, he likes Bill Hader. And yeah, there's the thing. Do Seth Rogan. I'm too big to work with you anymore. So you got to find the new guy and it's Bill Hader.
Starting point is 00:57:41 No, it's not. And he's super Apple. No. He's always been the underrated greatness. The whole like the whole cringe comedy crew makes appearances in the movie. I'm fully aware. Okay. But like when I'm watching it, the first hour was like, holy shit, this is so good.
Starting point is 00:57:56 This is so like, like it's been a while. Cause I didn't watch 50 50 and watch funny people and all that shit or whatever. So I just kind of bypassed those, but that was that was incredibly, incredibly solid movie. Here's the thing though, like Apatow's cool and talented. Don't undermine Schumer as well. She's fucking. No, no.
Starting point is 00:58:16 She was really good. She wrote the movie too. So here's. So yeah. She like a bunch of like all these comedians that are worth listening to showed up on opiate Anthony years ago and would do interviews and it like she'd fucking slay the room every time and like she'd disappear for six months, come back and like, like be in the room with like Louis CK or anyone else that's like completely matching.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Yeah. So that's the shocking thing is that Judd Apatow, it says directed by written by nope written by her instead. And my really funny stuff. I'm going to get, but it's a girl that's a train wreck and I'll just say the opening sequence. She wakes up after dating a guy and she sees this like hot bod like Latino dude is like, hey, beautiful.
Starting point is 00:59:00 And she goes, what the fuck? Where am I? You're in Staten Island. And she goes. Fuck. And then it cuts and she's on the ferry trying to get back to like New York and she's like, Oh God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:11 No one wants to be in Staten Island for context. She's got a comedy central show. It's called inside Amy Schumer. Yeah. Yeah. It's great. And then about Wu Tang, Method Man just shows up as a Caribbean doctor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:26 It's like everybody's in that movie. Isn't John Cena in that movie? Yeah. John Cena is in it and Liam, you need to see it just for the Cena-ness because Cena is fully naked in the entire movie. And I was like, okay, now I'm starting to see what Liam sees in him. The day came out. You can't see anything.
Starting point is 00:59:46 The day came out. I had two separate friends tell me to see it. So. In his part, he was actually, there's two celebrities that have a big role and that's John Cena and then there's LeBron James. LeBron is terrible and awful and they should have cut every scene he was in. Wow. He's a terrible, terrible actor.
Starting point is 01:00:05 He's a basketball man. Yeah. But don't, if he's not good at it, don't cast him even if you can get him. No, that's what I mean. He's a bad, he's a bad actor. John Cena was at least good. John Cena's an actor. John Cena's an actor.
Starting point is 01:00:16 He's a bad actor though. No, he's a great actor. He talks a bit, but he wasn't whispering on set, was he? He read lines like Aziz's parents. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he did. And you guys recall, there was a trailer a while ago, it was for a Cannery's movie called
Starting point is 01:00:33 Knock Knock. No. See this? Nope. It was like a few months ago and it's, Cannery's is a nice cool dad and he plays with his kids and he goes, I'm a monster, I'ma chase you, ha, ha, ha. And then his wife goes out for like a weekend with the kids and then two hot girls come up to his door.
Starting point is 01:00:51 Yeah, that trailer dude, oh my god. Yes, yes, yes. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Oh no. This is Nicholas Cage, every bad Nicholas Cage movie rolled up into one where Cannery's is so horribly miscast and can't, these girls, what's the premise here, what's the premise here? These girls walk in, these girls walk in and seduce him so hard, he can't resist, right?
Starting point is 01:01:22 Being seduced. So then they come back the next day and stick around and torture him all day, all weekend. Like, yeah, and they look like in the trailer they're gonna bury him and that's what you get from the trailers. And the trailers, it kind of looked like it could be a taught thriller, right? You watch it and it's the most overblown, poorly acted, ridiculous, like holy shit. What genre is it even, really? It's a comedy masking itself as a dark thriller, it's so bad.
Starting point is 01:01:58 What's your impression of Nicholas Cage during Kick Ass? Every scene that Cannery's has where he's being tied up or whatever, he's screaming like Nicholas Cage, it's so ridiculous and the ending is just like the least satisfying thing ever, like I'm sorry, it's just really bad, it's so bad and then, and it sucks because John Wick, so fucking awesome and he nails it and in this it's just like, guess what, this was also written by the Bear Jew, god I forget the guy's name now, but he also put out Green Inferno and he's just getting destroyed with like all of his movies now. Cannery just reads the words, I forgot his fucking name, that's so stupid, Cannery just
Starting point is 01:02:46 reads the words. You lie, you lie something, you lie rough, yeah, that's it and then I look executive produced by Cannery's as well and it was just so fucking bad. I want to do a movie in which two hot girls seduce me, well I won't, like, again. The trailer seemed like it could, the premise could be something, it could be something but it was so poorly done, it got you in, no, because I'm like, I have to see how bad this is. That won't watch any fucking trash you can find, it's true, this at least, I want to
Starting point is 01:03:22 see Cannery's try to do this, he did not do it, that is to movies as well as to food. Does it assume that he, not assume rather, does it like end with him just like fucking doing wrestling moves on them, because it seems like that's what it gears up to. No, no, no, nothing that cool, it's really bad and the last thing I kind of have to mention is that while there's still some details to be worked out, next year I've been denied for three years running but next year I'm going to have a panel at G-Fest which is the Godzilla con in Chicago, you've gotten the clearance to tell me about Godzilla, I've talked to some people about Godzilla's career throughout video games, that makes sense,
Starting point is 01:04:09 you and you're probably number two and number one is James, I'm actually going to say he's number two in a sense, he's number two for games Godzilla, he's number one for movies, yes, no he kills me, but for games he's like Godzilla Dreamcast, he doesn't know, he doesn't know about Robot Alchemic Drive, anyway, that's a while away from now, that's in July, but I still need to fully run to the second firm, but I'm going to appear there for that weekend. What the fuck is Cyber Six Con? What is Nightmare Con? For who?
Starting point is 01:04:52 For Woolly, when Woolly, Woolly, Cyber Six Con could be right here in your apartment. You can throw it, mainframe con could be real, you're telling me, Woolly when I mentioned to you about Godzilla and how I'm like, no I'm not, because it's just like four thousand seven year old girls, basically, and Woolly, because if you recall this year I was like can I go to that con too, and you really gave me smart advice, you're like don't man to stay here kind of, you got stuff to do, and I was like yeah you're right, I do, and then you're like, but why would you want to go to a con as just one thing, that's just like one property or franchise, and I go because everything I'll want to get or look at.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Hey Woolly, it's going to be one room, but it's going to be like tight room. So are you lying to your wife about what the con is in order to? No, no, I'm going to see, is she might come with me, the real Rocky might come with me. Lying to the wife about things that he says on the podcast is the worst, most bad thinking I did ever. But Woolly, you'd go to the Capcom Cup if you were able to, and had no engagements, right? This is the term, it's not a con.
Starting point is 01:06:03 It's more or less the same thing, it's one big event. To spectate, oh really? Just to spectate? No, I'd rather go play, man. I can't spectate a con from home, really. I wouldn't, unless, like if fighting games ever hit like fucking world stage, like super stadium status, then like yeah, but as far as I feel like, if I go to any tournament, I want to go to participate.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Yeah, that obviously makes sense. So yeah, as details and finalizations happen for that, like what time, whatever, it's going to be months from now, but that just came through this weekend, and I'm super excited because I'm like, it's like, little babby underwear, Godzilla pants, me, when I was ten, never, like, why would there even be a con for this dumb thing? Godzilla won't even exist in five years anyway. This is the King of Monsters, this is the King of Monsters, Godzilla Cinematic Universe, let's go.
Starting point is 01:07:01 All right. All right. I'm good. Pat. Seven days ago. I've only done half this. Monday night I was doing a podcast. Hmm, interesting.
Starting point is 01:07:10 You went home. Yeah. I was there too. I've been playing, I've been playing two things, and I watched one thing. I've been playing Bloodline Challenge. I know you watched. Which, god damn it, I wish they worked anything other than just underground fucking cubes slapped together.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Like, they went through the work, there's a ton of new enemies in there. There's an early naked guy. There's a ton of new bosses, there's at least one completely new weapon in there, but it's the most fucking boring looking thing in the world. Well, it's still the exact same thing, I'm doing Chalice Dungeons, but like, you're always in the same environment over and over again. It's a huge, like, obvious thing. They're all right, but that's it.
Starting point is 01:07:49 The environment makes a Souls game like almost as much as anything else. I ended up biting the bullet because it was on sale. I bought Batman, the Batman Arkham. I saw you saying, why can't I level up my Batman? So fuck. You buy it on PS4? Yeah, okay. You PS4.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Yeah, okay. Batman, as of buying it right now, has one of the worst first impressions I have ever had in a game ever. So you start it off and then you go, it's like, well, I had the season pass because that was also on sale. So I go season pass. That season pass. Sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Don't be interrupted. You see that instructor had an article saying, every piece of DLC is terrible. Yep. All the campaigns are bad. And the one that's not terrible is like an hour and a half long. So you go into the season pass menu and it's this slick menu that they've listed all the season pass items one by one. And in order to download them, when you have the season pass installed, it downloads the
Starting point is 01:08:46 season pass like key or whatever. Yeah. It does not automatically download any of those. You have to go to every single menu option and then click on it and then it will bring you to the PlayStation Store. And then you have to hit download on the PlayStation Store and it takes like 20 seconds to do each of them. And that took like 40 minutes download.
Starting point is 01:09:04 So then you start the game and you remember in Arkham Asylum, you had that really nice long intro with walking down the hallway. Yeah. Yeah. Remember in Arkham City, how you had that really cool intro where you were captured and then you broke out as Bruce Wayne and then you went or something like that. And the intro for this is the first person in the past thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:24 But the real intro is as soon as that is done, it just dumps you in and says, fucking fly over here and do missions. So first person in the past thing is pretty cool. Yeah. There's a lot of stuff to look at in the environment. But like it just really just dumps you right in there and it assumes that you're going to do all the story missions. But the first thing I want to do is you look at the upgrade menu.
Starting point is 01:09:42 It's like there's a lot of levels in this game and so I go down and start fighting guys on the street. You don't get any experience for guys on the street. So okay. And I asked somebody, I asked somebody and they said like you only get from story missions and those challenges. You have to progress. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:57 And then I did one of those and unlocked the Batmobile and then a fucking Scarecrow challenge unlocked. I was like, oh, I'll go do that. And then I go do that. And it's like telling me how to fight in the Batmobile, which is a tutorial. I haven't done yet. So I don't know what I'm doing and it's super difficult. And then I do the next story mission and a bunch of these challenge missions unlock.
Starting point is 01:10:17 But I later found out that I don't have the burst, the boost on the Batmobile. I don't have multiple mechanics related to the suit. So they're super difficult because I didn't know that you get a new suit in that game. Apparently I'm two missions away from getting a new suit, which unlocks multiple mechanics. That game does something super fucked up where the example is the Batmobile in the move list. You have a move list that says here's all the moves you have unlocked. And one of them is to quick eject and fly out of the Batmobile when you're when you're
Starting point is 01:10:48 doing it. And it's xx just double tap x and you'll shoot out. I tried for maybe 20 minutes to get that move to work and it doesn't work even though it's in my move list because I haven't hit the story mission that unlocks it. Yeah. Because I don't have the upgraded suit or whatever. It's fucking weird. I played that game for two hours last night, only did like two missions because I kept
Starting point is 01:11:10 trying to do these these challenge missions over and over. And then till only to later find out that I didn't have any of the abilities that you would in a normal game would require you to even have or you can even attempt. I played it for maybe three hours with my girlfriend by my side who worked on the game. And I was like, this is not that this car. I actually really like the car. Hate the car. Fuck you.
Starting point is 01:11:37 I actually really really like the car, which is the weirdest part. What about a mission that's like you have to use the car? I like it. You can't use what you want? I like to use the car. It is terrible. It controls like a loose burnout game. It doesn't.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Well, I don't know what to tell you. I like it. Literally what I just said was power to you. Like if you like it all the better. Because that's the game. I was shooting the tanks and I was doing the tank headshot or wherever the hell it is. And I was like, oh, there's actually the car combats. The combats fun.
Starting point is 01:12:06 Like I should be an option and not a thing that if we're gonna do, I guess, but I'm shocked. So I'll probably end up really liking this game a lot because I really, I really didn't like the car platforming where it's like, go jump this over there. That's like the first story mission you have to do. No, the first story mission is go get poison ivy. Well, whatever. That's when I tried to do all the challenge.
Starting point is 01:12:26 Okay. Well, then right after that, because in our video, we're meeting, will we play the first two hours? Like the first story mission is get inside Scarecrow's compound and it forces you to use the bat car. And if you recall, it did not go well because it controls terribly platforming. I didn't kill that guy. He got tasered.
Starting point is 01:12:42 He tasered. No. He didn't kill him. No. I finally, I found out in the, in this game that there's a character called the Arkham Knight. Yeah. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Oh, yeah. And then once spoke to somebody who beat the game, I was like, it's Blitz. Blank, isn't it? And he goes, of course it is. Of course it is. That is the most obvious. I haven't seen the character yet. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:07 I've never seen them. I'm just 100%. Like, who are you fucking fooling here? Who? Come on. So I played that. I played, what did I say? I got confused.
Starting point is 01:13:18 I don't know what you said. That was it. I played Fallout, I guess. But yeah, it's Fallout. I watched Jessica Jones. All of it, apparently. Wait, what was, what's the hand thing? Battlefront?
Starting point is 01:13:29 Battlefront? Oh, yeah. I know. I should explain that. So I came over to Willie's house one day and was like, yo, Battlefront runs the shit. I think it's my ground zero because there's no content in that, but I love it. And then when I went home and played one more match, it died in me. How many matches did you get out?
Starting point is 01:13:47 I played for about 10 hours. Wow. Okay. So I had, I had, I had, I was waiting for that to come back, or I played all night and like it got super in there and played a bunch of the hero matches and I came over to your place to record Mirror's Edge right after playing as Luke Skywalker, like, wow, this game is the best. And then I went home.
Starting point is 01:14:05 You were almost selling me on it. Totally. The pricing wasn't gross. And then I went home and played one more match on Hoth and went, there's four maps in this game. And it just, it all just fell out of me. And I couldn't believe it. Like, like, like you, you, he described it as, he's like, it's my Titanfall.
Starting point is 01:14:22 Yeah. The content is just, and, and, and just like Titanfall, you hit that moment and you just drop it. I saw it for some footage today of like these two guys fighting and like it's this weird moment where these two ground soldiers are, are attacking and then they both throw down or people next to them throw it on shields so that they can't shoot at each other. Yeah. So they just kind of stare at each other for a while and wait.
Starting point is 01:14:44 Yeah. And then eventually just put, they taunt at the same time and then running at each other melee and both die. I've never seen, now that I think about it, I've never seen a game. That, that it, what's there is fine. Totally works. It's good. What's, man, we've got to shit this out for the movie and just put all the rest of the
Starting point is 01:15:02 content later because we're never going to get out in time. What's in that game? It, it plays well. It looks amazing. It sounds great. It's a lot of fun to play. It's a really good game. And I hit like nine or 10 hours and got literally all the value out of it already because I
Starting point is 01:15:21 was done. Like just, there's so little there that I was just done. Yeah. So yeah. More values coming after the force of weight. Yeah. I completely, I could. And another fucking compounding.
Starting point is 01:15:32 I completely forgot about it. Yeah. So thanks for reminding me. I watched Jessica Jones, all of it. Just like Matt did. I haven't seen it all. Yeah. I'm like halfway.
Starting point is 01:15:43 So really good show. Luke Cage steals the show every time he's on screen. Yes, he should. David. Chocolate block. David Tennant is the most amazing purple man. David Tennant's really good. Also purple man is the worst ever.
Starting point is 01:15:54 Holy shit. You mean name or character? No. I mean the character is the most evil, like unbelievably malicious person ever. There's a part where I turn and I was like, I think Trinity is. Oh, Trinity's pretty bad. Carrie Ann Moss plays that hogar. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:12 Yeah. No motherfucking doctor. Who? No. There's one massive, oh also the Kristen Ritter is great also. Though the whole time I'm like, oh I'm glad you kicked your heroin habit and got away from Jesse. Does Tennant have an American accent?
Starting point is 01:16:28 No. He's British as shit. That's actually a huge point of the movie where they're like, do you know who the purple man is? Do you know who this Kilgrave guy is? No. Yeah. He's like this guy from the Bronx.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Yeah. No. No. That's not him. Oh, some limey fuck. That's him. That's him. He knows who he is.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Okay. I don't know if it's a movie or a movie or whatever, particularly Marvel. It's up there with Monster and I imagine Ultra Despair Girls as well. Frank Castle, there's a moment in this show where if Frank Castle was in your cast, it would be over. It would just be over and that's at the end of episode five. Yeah. I know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 01:17:11 You could have done it. It was right there. It's at some point purple man is captured. And you just didn't do it. Okay. Here's my... Punisher wanted him for other purposes. Punisher would not...
Starting point is 01:17:23 Punisher would not... Would not... No, but here's my partner, Jessica Jones, in a fees into what you're saying. I'm trying not to spoil this. I know. Here's my positive that she has reasons for not doing certain things and one of the reasons is another character that's locked up in jail. The basic thing is like an easier solution to the story would just be to shoot purple
Starting point is 01:17:41 man in the face and there are many, many reasons why you can't just shoot purple one. He's got hostages all the time. He's got... You need to clear somebody's name. So my problem with the show, like the one thing where I'm like, I wish that was different, is that the character that she's trying to kind of like protect and like it's all for her is a shitty character that I don't care if lives or dies and maybe it's supposed to be more realistic.
Starting point is 01:18:08 But usually if there's a character you want to save, you want to as Willie eloquently puts it, Mamoru, she's terrible and I'm like, I don't care and she's mean to Jessica and I feel bad. And the other thing is that the character that they're trying to save is constantly saying, fuck it, just kill him. Yeah. Right. And then actually the person you're trying to Mamoru is like, no, just don't forget me,
Starting point is 01:18:33 just kill them. And like there are so many. So it's the problem that happens in Monster and it's okay, quote unquote problem. We can't kill them because of the hostages. We can't kill them because of this, we can't kill them because of that. But every time you decide to save these hostages, that character then goes on to murder like 10 more people in the next episode. If you were smart, you would just kill them right away and the people that die now would
Starting point is 01:19:09 be the only ones to die. The death count would be much slower, much slower. It's like the whole second half of that is side stories revolving around that. And there's even a character in that show going, we should just shoot him right now. But for some reason, events play out so that that's never an option again. And it's super infuriating. It's really, just do it, just do it, just murder the character. I'm so excited for Frank.
Starting point is 01:19:46 I can write like a thesis on protagonist morality, man. I feel like it's just, I get it. You want to do the good thing, you want to be the hero, but your hero instincts get like 100 people killed over the course of like six or seven episodes. It's super, super infuriating. If all that, like great show. Fantastic. And you know what, it's fine, it's fine in this case, because usually you're like, character
Starting point is 01:20:13 that's super smart and super great, well how can you be this stupid? I can totally believe that Jessica Jones is this stupid. And this, this, like, this naive, she's a constant drunk, she's a fuck up. That character would constantly make this mistake. Yeah, no, I'll believe that. The Daredevil like crossover moment is fantastic and subtle and perfect. It's, it's not, it's, Daredevil does not show up and go, hey guys, I'm Daredevil, because that would be the worst.
Starting point is 01:20:44 Yeah, right. No, the actual thing that they do is, is great. Smart. Okay, okay. Luke Cage is the best. Luke Cage is the best. He's been the best. He's always been the best.
Starting point is 01:20:54 Yeah, but I know. The guy they got to play him is this giant slab of man. Yeah. And the camera loves his pecs. That's all I did with my week. Felt love with Luke Cage. No, that's satisfying. That was a good, that was a good one.
Starting point is 01:21:08 Never going to go back after this. Never going to go back. You're going to break. That was a tight 113. You're going to break. All right, so we have a, a bus crash shot is the best. Yeah, yeah. Right.
Starting point is 01:21:22 Right. There's a moment where you get, where a bus is about to hit Purple Man and he looks at it and the bus seems to telekinetically shoot, like shoot out of the way. And I go, wait, that's not, that's not his power. It's like, no, he just instantly tells the driver to swerve and it puts it in your mind like the, the, the mind control thing is broader than you would think it is. Yeah. It does telepathy mind control in a different way than like most X-Men movies do.
Starting point is 01:21:50 Because using it at a high enough level, you get things can just happen around you that aren't necessarily person involved. Well, that's, well, that's the difference between like, like JoJo style, like power usage and your typical kind of like superhero comic where if you're smart enough, you can do fucking crazy shit with your very basic powers. And the show very, very excellently builds up just how impossible of a foe this is for street level villains. But it's weird because it's one of those things like, you know, who'd solve this in
Starting point is 01:22:21 like two seconds, like 30 different X-Men characters. Any of the Avengers. Some of the Avengers. The top tier Avengers. Anybody that has psychic powers in this universe of which there are hundreds. You're right. Well, as long as until Fox gives the right to back. That's the one really weird thing.
Starting point is 01:22:40 It's like, uh... Mutants don't exist. He's an X-Man villain, isn't he? Mutants don't exist. We have. The gifted. We have, we have super humans and we have inhumans. Yeah, whatever.
Starting point is 01:22:54 And that's about it. The gifted. That was a good 115. Go ahead. Go on. Uh, that's tight. So, uh, news. We have a bunch of shit we didn't talk about last week because of the bunny dumps.
Starting point is 01:23:04 Yeah. Bunny dumped all over us. Righty ruined our podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I'm super happy about the huge backlash. I'm so happy. You stupid fuck bunny.
Starting point is 01:23:15 Yeah, I caught bits of that just through social media. I was like, like, what I know of Huey is like he does. He does something that's pretty much in the eyes of most irredeemable. I love that bunny. I've never seen such a public stance be so wrong about, like, a plot. Like Joffrey did nothing wrong. Like, fucking lying to himself and shit. You know what he is, dude?
Starting point is 01:23:43 He's that guy that I don't talk to anymore. Oh, yeah? You know the one? There's many men. No, the one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. The one.
Starting point is 01:23:52 The car photo man. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Billy? No, not that one. No, no, no. The other guy. No, not that guy.
Starting point is 01:24:00 Oh, not that guy. No, the other guy. No, not that shit bag. The one that's fucking list, bro. I actually don't. That's the entirety of it. The two shit bags. That's it.
Starting point is 01:24:12 That's it. Everyone has more than two shit bags. Don't worry about it. Well, look, when your life is going great and there's one downside. You got to cut that up. Yeah. And you realize after a couple of years that you're like, you know, everything else is fine except for you.
Starting point is 01:24:26 You know what solved this? Money match. Gun violence. It's time. It's time. No, not gun violence. Not yet, at least. No, never.
Starting point is 01:24:35 You get the scalpel and you remove the tumor. Yeah. And you separate it. Yeah. And then the healthy cells grow back. Yeah. So yeah, we got all the old news as well as the current news. Who likes old news?
Starting point is 01:24:47 I do. I get it all in. All right. Mix it. Randomize the news. The biggest story we missed off the top is the fucking Dead or Alive Xtreme V3 story. Oh, that whole fucking nonsense. We didn't miss anything because this was just the other day, actually.
Starting point is 01:25:05 Yeah. Part one of the story happened last week and part two of the story happened. Part one being which bit? Part one was the Facebook post and part two was the Play Asia thing. I was going to say that the Facebook post, wasn't that only after the podcast? No, that was before that. Either way, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:25:21 All right. But yeah, so to recap that story, right now we're going to go with the headline off of... What headline? Where are we going? We're going with headline, there are no plans to bring Dead or Alive Xtreme V3 to the west. Does it even have the word beach in it? So like... Is this Xtreme 3?
Starting point is 01:25:40 Yeah, I think it's Xtreme 3. This game was first, first announced. They said there was no plans to bring it to the west. Yeah. And ground floor game announced no plans. It was a little more vague the first time they said it. Yeah. This was like...
Starting point is 01:25:53 They were like, right now there's no plans. It was two months ago, I remember that. Yeah. There's only two months ago or so. Yeah, exactly. It was a while ago. This one was like a Facebook post from a Team Ninja guy where he was just some Japanese guy. He was asked about it and he just said...
Starting point is 01:26:06 And he replied. Something about the climate. This is a translated thing. We do not bring DOA X3 to the west and won't have any plan change in the future. Thank you for asking. Do you know many issues happening in video game industry with regard to how to treat female in video game industry? We do not want to talk those things here.
Starting point is 01:26:25 But certainly we have gone through in last year or two to come to our decision. Thank you. That's not fertile after that because it's translated. It's not a fault. No, exactly. It's not a fault, but it's what it says. Well, English is English. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:37 And then later... Bracket SIC. Later in the week, Playasia said... Playasia goes out on their Twitter. It's like, yo, this game ain't coming out because SJW is going to ruin your fun with the titties. Basically. Playasia went a step further and they said, which reviewers should we send this to? We don't want to trigger anyone.
Starting point is 01:26:57 Oh, I didn't see that one. Oh, wow. What are you doing? I didn't see that one. Did you know an SJW killed my brother? Did you know? I want to give a hearty clap because everyone involved with these messages are geniuses because this is a fucking series that sells like shit everywhere.
Starting point is 01:27:18 It sells like shit everywhere. It does fine. I think the last one did 245k worldwide. Which is good. Yeah. Considering these are just... Like this is just... The next dead are alive.
Starting point is 01:27:28 Yeah, exactly. But they don't sell well, particularly over here, right? It's all right. Are these relative to the size of the games? These are niche, niche, niche games. I think two was a long time ago. This game was never going to come out here because of localization. These guys figured out, especially Playasia, what buttons can we hit to make important
Starting point is 01:27:52 numbers go up? Yeah. Because it's their business to use their service to buy this game. It's so transparent. Maximize your profits. It's so obvious. Yeah, this is basically a flyer. This is basically a flyer for an arcade operator.
Starting point is 01:28:09 Yeah, absolutely. I applaud the move. They fucking got what they wanted, man. Did you know that the US government is going to ban boss coffee? And then these... And then you get motherfuckers on Twitter like, I got 2 million in my pocket right now. I will pay for the localization. It's like genius, genius, genius.
Starting point is 01:28:29 So great. The real tragedy of all this is like, this game fucking sucks. The last two suck. They're not fun. When this all went down, my girlfriend asked, are these actually good? And I pulled out a copy of Dead or Alive Paradise and I said, here. Which one is that? That is the PSP version of 2.
Starting point is 01:28:46 Okay, well I'll have you know that Idy Gaki programmed the fucking wave race section himself and he put his blood into it. His oatmeal blood is in there. His oatmeal blood is in that game. His ancestor, Otmata, made sure he put it in his bloodstream to program it. The ancestral oatmeal blood lives on. And so he... Well, go on, what?
Starting point is 01:29:12 No, go ahead. No, I was just going to say, so he gives a lot of shits. And most of his commentary when they went to him, as we got in the Pino Gallery quotes for us, and his was just like... All of them are amazing. No, he was just like the fact that they can't... They have to copy the DNA of something I made. DNA!
Starting point is 01:29:34 You know, and just going off on that shit. What a stupid fucking mess. It's great. It's fantastic. It's a mess, because there's been so many... And I'm disappointed. I wanted to buy this game and I am buying this game. Really?
Starting point is 01:29:47 Why are you disappointed? This is like the hilarious thing ever. Well, no, no, but just to be clear, I wish it would get localized. I wish every game would get localized. So every region? That would be tough. Well, no, exactly. It's impossible.
Starting point is 01:29:59 In an ideal world, every game would get localized, no matter what, the content. It's the argument that you and I had like a hundred times over yet. Yeah, exactly. And I am thankful that I can get an English copy. It is a bummer to see this happen. It happens every now and again, where a series doesn't finish in one region, just because... Yeah, I wish it would have continued the storyline of DOA Extreme. The principle more than the...
Starting point is 01:30:20 But that's my problem with this game, is I wish there was a storyline. I wish there was a big dumb story going on each one. It's shitty that we had to have a big ol' Gamergate in order to get to this point where a series not continuing is blamed on a subset of people. And don't get me wrong, there are some people out there on Twitter going nuts with like equating people who are fans of Dead or Alive to terrorists. I haven't seen that. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:30:53 Oh yeah, Miss Alexander going nuts on Twitter about terrorism. Oh yeah, the Planned Parenthood places that got attacked, you remember? She was like, these are the same... Yeah, no, don't be doing that. It's a shame that we're at a point where this just turns into extremist shit-flinging that ruins it for the middle ground. Welcome to that internet. If we wouldn't have had this whole affair, this wouldn't even be a situation.
Starting point is 01:31:24 Things should just get localized, I totally... There's that, but there was a game that came out a little while ago called Monster Monpiece, right? Of course. That's the one where you jerk off your video, right? That game was actually a good game, unlike Dead or Alive Extreme. So you've mentioned it. Sure, exactly. There was a sequel, Moe Chronicle.
Starting point is 01:31:44 That game is actually not a very good game. It only came out in Asia, in English, and they never said anything about it. What would have happened if they said, well, cultural differences? Would we have had the same song and dance? What would have happened if the Tecmo Koi guy had said nothing? Would we have just had the same thing as Moe Chronicle? But would that game have sold as many copies? Like, all it took was one guy saying something, and it turned into,
Starting point is 01:32:10 Yo and SJW killed my family. Well, it could have been as simple as like, eh, we don't think it's going to make the sales numbers, and that would have been that. And the unfortunate... But the fact that it turned into, like, separate reasons for that and what... Yeah, there's like, the sales numbers is bullshit because they're already localizing it, because there's an English version in Asia. Whatever the reason, I wish they didn't do it, and whatever the reason, I wish the guy hadn't said it,
Starting point is 01:32:37 because now we have this pile of shit on top of a game that isn't going to be very good, instead of just a game that isn't going to be very good. And I, like, I don't give a shit. Because precedence, fuck you, and I'm still belaying two copies. I have no interest in touching this at all. One for my Vita for personal use. Yes. And one for the PS4 for the channel.
Starting point is 01:32:58 Okay, yeah. See, on a personal level, we still get to make a dumb video out of it. Yeah, exactly. It was the premiere video. For a little while. Yeah, it was. Like, almost 400,000 views. Anyway, the main thing is that by default, this will be the best DOA extreme game ever,
Starting point is 01:33:17 because it doesn't use the old creepy models anymore. Use the new creepy models. Wow. With the buzzix. Yes, creepy. Yeah, yeah. No. Tamelines.
Starting point is 01:33:27 I don't see how it can be worse than Extreme 2, but Extreme 2 wasn't a particularly good game, like... I never played Extreme 2. I remember hearing that people who really liked Extreme 1 were disappointed in modes and gameplay elements being gone from 2. The volleyball is the one thing that was good, but I'm not into volleyball. There's an old 4 Chain image macro. I think it's from 4 Chain.
Starting point is 01:33:53 It's one of those things that came from the internet, so you can never be sure. But it's an MS Paint dude just throwing himself down on the floor with a stupid smile on his finger pointing up. It's an exploitable where you can put anything into that text box, and then it's just a huge brawl on the second thing. That's how it's always been, that's how it's always going to be. I mean, you're going to pick up copies. I have zero fucking interest, but it should still exist.
Starting point is 01:34:18 If Mila was allowed to be in it, you might change it too. Well, she is. No, she's not. She didn't win the vote. She's not in the game. Neither is Tina, the best DOA character. So when I went to go look up this story and I saw the footage of Mila spinning around in her bikini.
Starting point is 01:34:34 You watched Mr. Jim Sterling's video, did you? Yeah. I think that's DOA 5 footage. Is it? Yeah, probably. Okay, because I'm like, that's Mila, and that's her in a bikini. She's not in the game. She's not in the game.
Starting point is 01:34:44 There's a billion of those costumes. If you would have paid attention, you would have noticed that that bit of footage didn't use their new physics system or their new skin. You got to get that fucking night defying glass dive on the skin. You got a very discerning eye. Wait, hold on. Does Zack still show up in Stupid Ways? I know.
Starting point is 01:35:04 Okay, I said I don't give a fuck. Ask the risk. If Zack's involved in Stupid Ways. What's his island? Maybe you'll be interested. Maybe. He's involved heavily in the second one. I need to know if he's peeking through the bushes.
Starting point is 01:35:21 You need to see his banana head. With all his money. He gives you presents every day. What else we got? That happened. The other thing that happened was the official... Yeah, the only other thing. We got the final official word on MGSV's nuclear disarmament plans.
Starting point is 01:35:40 Hey, if you're on PC, fuck off, you're never going to get it. Except you already got it already by stripping it out of the file. The secret event has been detailed on the official website. Here's how you get the secret event. They've been tweeting out how many nukes are left on every platform. And the closest to having complete disarmament is Xbox 360, at the moment, I believe. They're down to like 32. Yeah, probably by coincidence.
Starting point is 01:36:10 And even though the second highest number on the consoles is like 300 something. But on Steam... I thought it was single digit thousands. On Steam, it's like 16,000 nukes. Was it 32,000? No, it's gone down. But the deal is... It's gone down, but it's still slightly under 50 years.
Starting point is 01:36:31 On PC, you can just cheat yourself to have a nuke. It's never going to hit zero. Ever. Ever. So, no, but with the announcement of this, you have to assume the hunt was on. Just today, they put out another statement that's like, here's how to do it, guys. It must be like... God, what was that game that had a thing hidden in it that like the marketing division didn't want?
Starting point is 01:36:57 It was the... Fuck, what was that Star Wars MMO? Not Older Public. Galaxies. Where Jedi was hidden. And marketing said if nobody finds a Jedi within a year, we gotta start. And somebody did. Yeah, like I feel like that's what's going on.
Starting point is 01:37:10 And the method behind that was the most bullshit thing in the universe. Random invisible challenge. Being put into your character, and if your character was chosen to have the force potential, after a certain random leveling number, you would awaken to your force potential. No, everyone could do it. But they had like 20 invisible challenges, and you got like a selection of six assigned to your character. You also had to go... Because there were multiple ways.
Starting point is 01:37:35 You had to go and build a lightsaber. Yeah. And then later, they just made Jedi a class. I think that's what's going on here. Nobody found the cutscene yet, so Konami's like... Well, except we've all seen the cutscene, because it got ripped out immediately. Okay, but officially on board? No, you haven't.
Starting point is 01:37:49 So you must have completed Mission 31. Like... You must own... Come on. Or currently... You must not own or currently be developing a nuke. If you have any in stock, they must be dismantled. It's hilarious, man.
Starting point is 01:38:04 Certain other conditions related to nuclear proliferation must be met depending on regional servers. And then, yeah, at some point... You mean like three weeks ago when they pulled it out of the... It's hilarious to me. I hate it. I hate people pulling that kind of stuff out of games. Like, where's the surprise? Like, you're just...
Starting point is 01:38:23 The surprise was like a month ago when they did it. But the problem is that like... But then you love it when it's like something cool, you know? So it's like... It's... Well, can you hold off ripping stuff from a game for like maybe like... No, never. It'll never happen.
Starting point is 01:38:38 It'll never happen. No. It'll never happen. I'll never happen. Also, Liam... It's just a bummer, because like surprises are dead. If people didn't do this, then PC players would never have been able to see it until somebody did it on the consoles. Because the other problem is that people are just cheating themselves to have nukes.
Starting point is 01:38:57 Sure. And Konami makes no effort to stop that. Like, there's no way that'll ever not happen. But I will say that I think programmers should get more savvy towards hiding things. Or at the very least putting misleading labels on... Don't name it secret ending three. I think at the very least Japanese developers still don't... Like maybe some American, like a lot of big American, like Blizzard or whatever.
Starting point is 01:39:21 Like they know not to put shit in their games. But Japanese developers still not slowly uptake that if you port this game to PC... Weirdos will dig through every single facet of it. Don't let me control FURN for Eurian data. Not a good look. People are gonna look. It's up to them to hide it or to have it not be there until it's ready to be found. But I do agree with that.
Starting point is 01:39:48 I want there to continue to be surprises in life. But it's not gonna be by telling people to not do it. That ain't gonna fucking happen. No, I know. It's just a bummer, because it's like... And you know what? The surprises are the best thing that can happen to you. A happy surprise?
Starting point is 01:40:02 It's the best thing that can happen to you. I mean, like... I have to agree with that. My favorite thing in the game's plot is that my guess is wrong. But that's, you know... Yeah. If someone had told me beforehand... Happens a lot.
Starting point is 01:40:15 Yeah. No, like obviously this cutscene isn't that. But I just mean that in general. No, you're incapable of not making a guess at fucking everything at all times. He's incapable. It's the only way... Dude, before he got here, he phoned me and he told me his predictions for the podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:30 Yeah. Let's see if they turn out to be true. Yeah, right. So far, he's won 20 bucks. Yeah. And then we've got some FromSoft news. So there's the old news... The metal wolf.
Starting point is 01:40:41 There's the old news which is... Stop it. Dark Souls 3 is probably gonna be the last one, says Miyazaki. It'll have to change in a significant way for the series to keep going. It says it'll be like a departure from whatever. Just fine. They're talented motherfuckers. The area is that we've seen like the...
Starting point is 01:40:58 What is it called? Something, something, wall. Dark Souls Party. DS3 is the most normal part of the game. And the rest of the game is like kind of weird. Dark Souls Extreme. Nintendo. Cross from software.
Starting point is 01:41:09 Dark Souls Party. It doesn't mean the Souls type of game is going away, but it means that Souls types of games that are like so rigidly that kind of game are going to go away. Like Bloodborne's different. Yeah. And like Dark Souls 2 is not. Where's Ninja Blade 2? Where is it? Where is it?
Starting point is 01:41:29 Where's Michael Wilson? Where's... They never put out metal wolf chaos here because they thought Americans would not like it. You say they're talented, they are not. Whoever makes that decision. I messaged from software on their Japanese Twitter account about once a week saying, where's the metal wolf? And they never get a reply. Like I know, right?
Starting point is 01:41:52 Yeah. So yeah. I saw this thing recently where someone sent them an English email and they got back to them with bad English explaining they didn't have good English. So maybe you should send them emails about metal wolf because they replied to those ones. Maybe I will. What was I going to say? Like I totally heard them. Like Dark Souls 3.
Starting point is 01:42:11 Like I love that series. But even I'm like... Yeah. It's not a Dark Souls game. I get that impression from a lot of people that are into this series. It's the fourth one, man. Like Demon's Souls, Dark One, Dark Two. Demon's Souls totally counts.
Starting point is 01:42:24 Yeah. And then this. Bloodborne's significantly different. And I remember when Bloodborne got announced, I was way more excited for that than I was for Dark Souls 2. And here it goes. Because it was different. Let's grind that actual little fruit. Please, please make a space game.
Starting point is 01:42:36 Please, please, please. That's what Dark 3 is. They have talked about it. He has said it would be really cool to make this kind of game in a sci-fi setting. Like if they had a Souls game where you played in the mech for the armored core. Whatever. Just have it be robots, man. Have it be like Soma.
Starting point is 01:42:50 Imagine like a Dark Souls style game with like Soma art. Oh my god. I don't know. I wouldn't want to be shooting guns all the time. Well, no. You'd still be melee weapons. Laser swords. And then the update this week is the cryptic tweet that might be implying that Demon's Souls is coming to PS4.
Starting point is 01:43:12 Oh, the photograph there. Yeah. So it was a picture from the official Bloodborne account. And it's just a bunch of Bloodborne boxes. I think it's all the additions of Bloodborne. Yeah, stacked on top of each other. And Demon's Souls is stacked on top. That's weird.
Starting point is 01:43:26 Oh, you know what? Might be another PSX is happening in a week. I might be another cynical reason for that Dark Souls stuff. It's like Dark Souls is like, isn't it co-owned by Namco? Dark Souls, yes. Yes. Yeah. And Bloodborne and Demon's Souls are co-owned by Sony.
Starting point is 01:43:41 Yeah. It could just be like we want to have our own IP that's not owned by anyone. Well, especially now that Kadokawa owns them. Yeah. Like Kadokawa doesn't have anything in there except for all the money. Was Demon's just Sony? Yep. Sony and Atlas publishes it out here.
Starting point is 01:43:56 But Atlas doesn't. They don't own it. No, but the Atlas is involved when they keep those, the Atlas is paying for the servers. Well, they're the localizer guys. Yeah. They're the Western servers. Yeah. We've got the announcement that New Dagon Ramp of V3 will be a totally different unrelated setting.
Starting point is 01:44:12 Did you see the picture? Yeah. The new character and stuff? Well, there you go. Yep. I'm like, I'm sure this is going to be related. Return to form. I'm sure it's going to be related.
Starting point is 01:44:21 How many of them? Like by the end of it, you're going to get the link right at the end. How many of them are going to be like also like coward, like non-child murderers? No. Okay. Okay. I'm going to reiterate this because of the current climate. The social climate.
Starting point is 01:44:38 Dagon Rampa, one and two are fantastic games. They're super good. Yeah. Go play them. They're good. I know. You've been telling me to play them before. Stop wasting your time on better other things.
Starting point is 01:44:48 So with V3, return to form. Let's see what happens. So do you think you're going to get an 11th hour like connection? There's no more of them. I think so. But I think like, is there another one coming out? Yeah. If you want to see it this way, it seems like a setup to just beef a fucking twist of some
Starting point is 01:45:05 kind. Yeah, maybe. It's a fighting game. But I think it'll be like, it'll be like, like maybe not directly connected, but like in a loose way, there'll be a threat. Yeah. That's what I'm expecting. I'm, I'm.
Starting point is 01:45:16 What do you think of the two characters they showed? They look cool. Yeah. I'm excited for the more news on December 2nd. Right. With the experience, right? Yeah. No, no, not PlayStation experience.
Starting point is 01:45:25 Just there. That's one for Mitsu comes out. So not for Mitsu. The other one. There's that. There's the announcement about Yakuza Kiwami. They announced the MagiBot Anywhere system. Dude.
Starting point is 01:45:41 Fucking that. That's amazing. So cool. So. Are we going to take a look at that? And you could. For what? For what they know the best.
Starting point is 01:45:50 If it gets, when it gets localized. It's the accompanying screenshots that fucking sell the idea. Did you watch the trailer? I did. Oh, that's the killer. The killer. No. Five, right?
Starting point is 01:46:01 Yeah. Fuck. I want Mark Hamill to return. Hey, listen. Listen. This is the remake of the first game. Five is being localized now. It's probably going to be released like next week.
Starting point is 01:46:09 The trophies just went up in English. It's probably going to be released next week. I'm fully expecting or hoping that Yakuza Zero is going to get announced for localization. That PSX. Shortly thereafter. Because they fucked up last year and had that shit on the fucking forum that implied that it was. And if both of those don't just crash and burn, then maybe we'll get Kiwami.
Starting point is 01:46:33 This is actually the moment where it's like really put your money where your mouth is at or else it's dead for good. I'm going to shill that game hard. Yeah, you will. I thought you were going to talk about the system. Oh, the system is rad. It's the Nemesis system. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:48 This is in with Kiwami, which is a remake of the first game. Of the first game. Which we wouldn't get until after Zero. Yakuza the first. So it's going to take a minute. And it's basically Majima is your Joker style Yakuza with the eye patch and the fucking Gator jacket. He's like the rival character almost.
Starting point is 01:47:04 Kind of. In the first one. Yeah. In the first one, exactly. And he's nuts. And he's voiced by Mark Hamill in the English dub. So that in doing a Joker impression. So that's the kind of guy you're looking.
Starting point is 01:47:13 And he's super tough and he's going to just show up randomly at any time and fight you. And he's got like four fighting styles. The fact that it's called the Majima system. The Majima Anywhere. The Majima Anywhere system specifically because the fights can happen anywhere on the map at any time. Some of the situations in that trailer were fantastic. Majima has something out of a manhole on the streets.
Starting point is 01:47:38 Majima is dressed as a police officer. Is the best. He dresses like Meekins. Goofy like Zany thing in that huge Goofy Zany series. You go back to Yakuza of the End or Dead Souls where you get to play as like Karaoke him in those fucking things. And the reason for this system is to awaken Kiryu's intuition and enjoy more fights. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:02 That's about right. I can totally imagine like Yakuza 1 doesn't have that many boss fights in it. If I remember correctly. So just, just sprinkle boss fights all over. Turn the corner. Virgil. Exactly. He's having coffee and then he saw you.
Starting point is 01:48:18 He's walking slowly. Like Devil May Cry. Virgil's popping out of trash cans. Every like just red. He's a police officer. He drives up in the Virgil mobile. There are eight triggers in every stage and you never know when one is going to go off. And then you have to repeat the stages again for the other half of the game.
Starting point is 01:48:39 This is the type of system that I wish like other companies would just rip off. Yeah. Absolutely. The Michael Wilson system. The Nemesis system is very close. Don't have a rival that's waiting for you at the top of the tower at the end of the game. I have a rival that's seeking you out consistently. And never lets up.
Starting point is 01:48:56 What's the best thing about Yakuza Kewami is that in that trailer there's that awesome new remade shot of Kiryu just backhanding the shit out of Haruka. And people slapped like Sega, the Sega logo on top of it and it's this amazing exploitable where you're asking Sega for anything. I think that gets funny but like... It's become far away right now. It's become when it happened it was way more true than it is now. Exactly, exactly.
Starting point is 01:49:25 I remember. But people were reposting it. I just think that bit in the bar where he backhands her is hilarious. It's funny. Oh yeah. She's just a regular child character. That's our character. That's your hero.
Starting point is 01:49:39 Our hero just got out of jail and he doesn't have time for that shit. But save the puppy. This is pre-orphanage though. Yeah, it's pre-orphanage. So it's not a joke. He starts that orphanage up in three. He does. It's the best part of four.
Starting point is 01:49:56 He runs that orphanage. So I'm just going to power right through this story. You can interject as you want. I will. You don't have to. There's a new Mighty No. 9 trailer and it looks fun but man oh man is the voiceover really cringy and awful. Yeah, I didn't like the voiceover.
Starting point is 01:50:13 I don't know why they did that. Too bad you can't turn it off. No, no, not that voiceover. No, it's a trailer. Like they recorded a trailer. The guy doing the trailer is just being like... Like trailer man talking about it. Because I had that same reaction to you that you just had to every piece of in-game dialogue
Starting point is 01:50:31 that I saw. So that being said, that power that is like the spinning midair flame thing looks fucking dope. I mean game looks better than it ever did. Because it's closer to being done. What do you want exactly? Consider that news powered through. And then there's the...
Starting point is 01:50:49 Yeah. There's a little hundred percent that like popped up as we did it. The call-up might be interesting to take a look at. Yeah, definitely. There are two EDF games coming out on December 8th. Yeah. Are you for real? One on the Vita, one on the PS4.
Starting point is 01:51:06 Which is which? Which Japanese version of PS4? 4.1? Yeah. Shadow of New Despair. It's Shadow of New Despair and EDF. 4.1 and EDF 2. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:17 EDF 2 is the best one supposedly. I'm literally going to buy both. I'm going to buy them. And they ain't going to cost you that much. You know why? Because EDF... EDF. EDF.
Starting point is 01:51:28 They're going to defend the fucking earth. 4.1 is 50 bucks and EDF 2 is 30 bucks. 4.1 is... This is a refreshing piece of... 4.1 is the one where you're in luck. You pilot a giant robot and you fight the Godzilla creature. You mean you pilot a robotic alchemic drive? Yes.
Starting point is 01:51:46 You literally do. I forgot that said a lot. Two EDF games for the price of half of one Star Wars game. Yeah, exactly. Oh, you. Oh, you. It's real. Star Wars is a premium product.
Starting point is 01:52:00 It's a premium brand. Have you guys heard of or seen the trailer for Hollow Knight? Yeah, no. I think I backed out on Kickstarter. It looks really cool. You think? It was a while ago. Let me try to pull it up so you can see some footage of it.
Starting point is 01:52:13 Is that the one with the bug? No. It looks like the cutest little Dark Souls. I thought it was the one. That's what the original working title was. It's the cutest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at my little adorable...
Starting point is 01:52:27 Oh, don't do that. No. Oh, yeah, I see it. I've never seen this before in my life. Oh, yeah, I've seen this. Yeah. So this is Hollow Knight. Cute little skeleton.
Starting point is 01:52:38 Yeah. It looks like it's got some interesting art and animation stuff to it. I think it was one of the type of things that was almost done, like when they had the Kickstarter done, almost done, but they had a good chunk done or whatever. Okay, so where's the butt come in? Yeah, it was butt. It's at the top of your legs.
Starting point is 01:52:56 Traditional 2D animation is a selling point now. What's the story? It ain't Cuphead, but it was announced. Yeah. That's the story. Oh, was it announced? Yes. The way that Matt said he backed it on Kickstarter made me think...
Starting point is 01:53:14 Sorry, this trailer is new. It came out last week. But the game was announced a while ago, right? Yeah, this is a new trailer that came out showing it off. Oh, okay. Check it out. That was very confusing. I'm no longer confused.
Starting point is 01:53:29 Okay. That looks good. It could be interesting. It could be interesting. Yeah, last week's story. After Samurai 2 pulled off his full refund. Well, that's... More than enough said about that.
Starting point is 01:53:44 Too late, dipshits! I'm really glad Matt both bought it and installed it right away, because I'm following that I didn't get to. If I had bought it, but not installed it... You'd get a refund. You'd been refunded. Don't have been it. And you would not have been able to download it.
Starting point is 01:54:00 I checked. I didn't get a refund. They're processing them right now for PlayStation? Yeah. I think for PC... Because holy shit! They need to refund us! I'm glad you didn't listen to me.
Starting point is 01:54:11 I don't listen to you. That's good. This is the dumbest mistake we've ever successfully made. It's amazing. You know what you should do? What? You should not listen to me. I should not listen anymore.
Starting point is 01:54:21 That's... You know what? No. You know what? No. I see it. Yeah. Manicide divided, delayed till August 2016.
Starting point is 01:54:31 Can you fucking imagine how pissed off people would have been if they had pre-ordered it to get it to that... You made your release day last. Release the game four days early. I didn't think about that. That's probably why that campaign went away. Like... No!
Starting point is 01:54:50 It could be the reverse. No! They got rid of the campaign. We don't have to do it anymore. So now we can just make it even better. Release the game four days early after we delayed it nine months. There haven't been many, but the campaigns of releasing our game four days ahead of time because there's been a couple, right?
Starting point is 01:55:09 And that's just because they don't want them sitting on shelves for four... There's no reason. So it's a fake incentive. Of course it's fake. But it's like you're releasing it four days early, but you just delayed it by a hundred days. I'll get on the phone, make some calls, and then let you know. But no, you know what? Quite frankly, hey, make the game better.
Starting point is 01:55:27 Absolutely. Totally. You made the game better in two ways. One, you canceled that don't pre-order thing. Don't ship it like fucking just cause on Xbox One. I hear that's fucked up. There was a video of a 15 minute loading time on Xbox One. I hear the PS4 ones are like four minutes.
Starting point is 01:55:44 Yeah, three and a half, four. That those compliance, XR revisions went through and things can just totally be okay. That's bullshit. Isn't that great? Nope. We're getting more lax with our rules. That's terrible. Like...
Starting point is 01:55:59 Compliance should be stricter, not looser. Yeah. Make it stricter. It has to be stricter in certain ways and looser in certain other ways. Exactly. There's a happy medium that you should achieve. But we're in the happy, loose land now. Getting rid of loading time limits is a tricky one.
Starting point is 01:56:13 I'm not saying go back to the one page Game Boy fucking days. I think that maybe a 15 minute loading time should break a rule somewhere. Maybe. Maybe. Somewhat lacking in responsiveness. That feels like it's a bug. Yeah. Like not even a...
Starting point is 01:56:32 Absolutely. You name it. Like this year's been a bad year for like long loading times in some games, but like never to this degree. No. Never. It's been years since I even heard about a game that had that. Well, I can't even remember. It started in 2006.
Starting point is 01:56:45 But even those are 15 minutes, man. Yeah. Like you could spend nine minutes doing a fucking barrel puzzle. Yeah. Box puzzle, whatever. We got an explanation from Ono as to why they're not putting five in the arcades. Why is it? Because the Scolomania writes they can't put it in arcades.
Starting point is 01:57:03 Yeah. They're contracts. He's banned in arcades. He's banned. He's too good. Also, Scolomania has secretly confirmed that. That sounds good. You know, they're actually probably trying.
Starting point is 01:57:14 I bet they are. After all the people talking about him and Ono actually acknowledged it. They got Karen. And did you see the amazing interview? And Akira. Hold on. Akira, the actual owner of the Areca Characters. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:28 Well, his name is Akira. Jesus Christ. His name is Akira. That's terrible. Akira, you're a dipshit. Well, whatever. Anyway, the owner of the Areca Characters came out and said, hey, yeah, like we could maybe do a thing. Come on.
Starting point is 01:57:41 Come on, Scolomania. The legal could happen. Watch, watch him have no scarf. Watch him have no scarf. Alan Snyder. Watch him have no scarf. No, it's not going to be Scolomania. It's going to be Alan Snyder.
Starting point is 01:57:49 It's going to be Cracker Jack. It's going to be Kracker Jack. And Kracker Jack. Yeah. If he has no scarf, it's all worthless. Hey, if it's doctrine dark, I'm on the wall board. I'm on the wall board. I know.
Starting point is 01:57:59 You know what? You can't get Scolomania. Explosive. Explosive. It's a good second runner. Cracker Jack. I can't find it. But there was an interview I think.
Starting point is 01:58:09 What are you excited about? I think with Ono. I can't find it. Well, part of it was about Scolomania. Oh, yeah, yeah. The interviewer asked, like, Scolomania. And I'm sorry. That's what I was referencing, that story.
Starting point is 01:58:19 Okay. So, yeah, he asked about it and he said, oh, yeah. Maybe you can do it. Because you need the quotes. Do you have that story? And then I can try and grab it. And then the Eureka guy, like, responded. And then they got back and said, okay, don't go too crazy.
Starting point is 01:58:31 We're not guaranteeing anything here. There's still some legal bullshit. But we both think we can maybe make it happen. The lines where, like, Ono goes something about, like, I hope it's not too disappointing being a Scolomania fan. And the interviewer is, like, it's never disappointing to be a Scolomania fan. And then, Ono asked whoever the guy is, asked something about, like, you know, do you really love Scolomania that much?
Starting point is 01:58:53 And the interviewer says, I'm looking at a picture of Scolomania right now and turns around his computer and his wallpaper is just Scolomania. Oh, that's super great. That's good. I love that. That's the interview I was talking about. I love that the same one. They got Strider and Marvel.
Starting point is 01:59:06 They got Karen and Five. Come on, Scolomania. That's a lot to be good. Everyone wants them. And he's a live-action digital answer. Yeah, yeah. It's like a Morgan Sprite. That'd be great.
Starting point is 01:59:18 That'd be really cool, actually. And then when the camera pans, you see he's flat. He's flat, yeah. The best. That'd be really cool. They should make a character to Clay. Yep. And in semi-related true-fighter news, there's a Vsauce video where he showed what would
Starting point is 01:59:31 happen if you got hit with a real short. You can, like, like, taking the height that can. Oh, Vsauce. I've fallen off the wagon for them. I've got to get back. Taking the height that, sure, you can travel. You'd be dead. You'd be dead for sure.
Starting point is 01:59:44 And then converting that into, yeah, into. kinetic energy. Exactly. And then they put it on a flesh dummy. Yeah. And then they let it rock. The head fucking explodes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:57 Straight up Rikkyo. That's how tough Sagat's chin is. Yeah. Amazing. That is a seven and a half foot tall Thai monster. That dude's got it. He's got it. Back in the day in EGMs, like 92, 93, there would be, like, you know, the envelope art,
Starting point is 02:00:13 you'd see an EGM where someone would write them like a letter and they would show off the cool art people drew on the envelope. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There would be one of, like, during the Street Fighter versus MK Wars or whatever of that time, someone, like, would draw, like, Goro holding Ken and Ryu's head, like, look at these pussies, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:00:33 And I saw one that was the reverse of that, where it's Ryu 50 feet up in the air and he's sure you can, Kintaro's head off. Like, would Ryu really have a beef with fucking Kintaro? Absolutely. Kintaro's evil. No, no. A bit like. He was just practicing in Kintaro walking.
Starting point is 02:00:49 And also, Kintaro is part tiger. So he hates Sagat. He hates Sagat. Tiger. Tiger genocide. Yeah. There you go. He's going to get to all the tigers before Sagat can.
Starting point is 02:01:02 It's not his fault that that race has a weak bone structure. They can't support getting a Shoryuken. Yeah. Everyone else does. Everyone in Mortal Kombat has the weakest bones ever, because you can just pull their arms and legs off like it's nothing. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:17 Drink more milk. Yeah, you guys with new, with vitamin F. Vitamin R. Is it R? It's R. I screw up every time. Envelope R, man. Envelope R is like shit.
Starting point is 02:01:26 That was the shit. I made a big, like, Earth Room Gym one. It never got through. Yeah, you did. There's the Black Desert, English version, pre-orders that you can go check out. Black Desert is actually happening for real in real 2016. The game where Wally cares about one aspect, one aspect. The plague knows the deal.
Starting point is 02:01:45 Is it on a content delay? Content delay? Some MMOs that come out from Korea often pretend that they're launching a brand new game. Even if they're like, for real, like three or four expansion packs back, they'll still phase those expansion packs in in the new region on the same timeline. Like Terra does that. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:02:07 I think. Terra doesn't. That was like one of the things. I know that they're selling three tiers of content you can purchase. Because like, Wally, imagine that Final Fantasy XIV came out in Japan like two years before it came out here. And then Heaven's Word came out in Japan when the game launched here. And then the answer would be, oh, Heaven's Word will come out in two years for you guys.
Starting point is 02:02:29 Like, that's what kills a lot of these Asian MMOs. Because like, people want the content. People want it now. And they do stuff like they did to Fantasy Star Online 2 where they just hack the translated versions and play it on the Asian servers. And when I click the start button, do I get my character creator? Yeah. I'm fine.
Starting point is 02:02:46 All right. What game play? Yeah. I will admit. I will admit. The character video over. Because the cool combos like they show in the trailers look pretty fucking dope. Can you even see the combos past those gigantic asses?
Starting point is 02:03:04 There's that spinning hammer thing. That spinning hammer thing was really dope. Yeah. And the archery play as well. The combat all looked super cool. There's a Simpson image macro joke here to be made where it's just, here's your copy of gigantic asses. It's just a copy of Blade and the Soul.
Starting point is 02:03:22 We've got words from the game designer himself. David Cage has no plans for Beyond 2. Why would he? I don't think that's silly. Yeah, I don't see why he would. Like some interviewer asked him, I guess. If this wasn't, if Detroit, whatever the fuck it's called. If that wasn't announced, then yeah, that's a fair question.
Starting point is 02:03:43 Are you making a new game? Ellen Page can't turn it down if you don't propose it. Supposedly. So I created another scrapbook of your creepy life. I made another one. From the point I made the last one, I continued. What do you mean by creepy life? Well, now that I'm here.
Starting point is 02:04:01 I don't know. There were more childhood pictures that you didn't know about. I found some fill out. I don't know if you guys heard this, but I remember hearing that supposedly Beyond 2 Souls, the PS4 version, will have a chronological option. It does. It does. People confirm.
Starting point is 02:04:17 Crazy. I just bought it. I'm going to start playing it. Is it out? Yeah. When did that? It just came out. The digital version just came out and the digital version of Heavy Reigns in March or something,
Starting point is 02:04:27 and after that they're going to release a disc of both. I'm going to buy it and I'm going to play through it and see what it's like. I have to know. Because that was like your thing where you're like playing it. Well, no. There's a lot of things about that game. Yeah, obviously. But that was the one thing that was like, this is the most obvious change you could possibly
Starting point is 02:04:43 make to that game. It's going to be better. Are you playing it in its original order, firstly? No. Aw, man. You'll never know. Do yourself a favor then. Once you beat it in chronological, go back and either watch the LP or go play it in its
Starting point is 02:04:59 original jumbled up format and just be baffled at how you can do such a thing. I only played the demo. Okay. Please, please play it in its fucked up original order first. Do you want your PS3 copy back? No. I don't give it to me. But you know what?
Starting point is 02:05:14 I don't give it to goodwill. I'll just put it on the rules. Always couch with the rest of the games we don't want. There you go. Rearranging the chronological order, though, doesn't fix reality vaginas and velocity raptor god and stupid Native American bullshit. Velociraptor god. Doesn't fix la magra.
Starting point is 02:05:37 That game is the absolute pinnacle of me. New video game just rated by the ESRB. TMNT Mutants in Manhattan, published by Activision Developed by Platinum Games. Not even joking. Shut up. Not even joking. Just rated by the ESRB. Text.
Starting point is 02:05:57 Right there. Just text. That's it. Dude, rated by the ESRB. Or rather Peggy. But either way. Or no, this is the Australia. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:06:05 The Australia. Just rated. TMNT Mutants in Manhattan. Platinum Games. EA? Yeah. Activision. But they put out shadows out of the shadows.
Starting point is 02:06:16 That was going to be at the game awards, I think. A Platinum multiplayer game. That's the one. The last one was really good. Anarchy Reigns never got the shot it needed. That game is stellar. It didn't get an honest shot. No, it didn't.
Starting point is 02:06:31 This must have been for the game awards. Absolutely. Or yes, that's right. Yeah, that's true. There's two things coming up. Now we're boiling. Now we're boiling. That's hot news.
Starting point is 02:06:40 That's old transcomers, Ninja Turtles. Damn. You're going to get a G.I. Joe game going? Dude. Platinum G.I. Joe? Platinum bringing back all your childhood heroes. Hey, we'll throw G.I. Joe onto the Banquish engine. What character do you play in the G.I. Joe game?
Starting point is 02:06:57 Snake Eyes. Roadblock. That's right. Come on, it's Snake Eyes. Yeah. By Platinum. It would be for everybody. I play Shipwreck.
Starting point is 02:07:05 Fuck it. But I want Roadblock as well, because I fucking love Roadblock. Oh, she's great. Platinum might actually be able to be the one developer to get those Fensler clips in there. Oh, God. Yeah, come on. Oh, these Japanese developers, they're just joking around.
Starting point is 02:07:23 They don't understand. Fensler is a hero to everyone. I love you, Fensler. Whatever you are. Whatever you are. I know why you are. Fensler? I want Fensler films.
Starting point is 02:07:35 Alright, Mythical Forces. I hope they do make a Transformers trilogy, but that's fucking sick. Platinum is slowly working their way back through your childhood to cover the entire thing. It's just comforting to see them have work. So that's what I was going to say. It looks like Platinum has actually found a way to consistently pay the bills with games that we'll enjoy and really like, but they'll pay for the games that we need. As long as they're on Activision Speed, though.
Starting point is 02:08:05 Everyone loves to work with them. Tony Hawk 6, man. Tony Hawk 6, it's going to be really good. See, a giant patch came out for Tony Hawk 5, adding a bunch of levels. It added the Ninja Turtles, too. The only thing I can really hope for long term, where it's a combination of both what Patch has said, a game that you really need versus a game like, yeah, that's neat, is like, Activision still holds a Spider-Man license.
Starting point is 02:08:29 That's true. And having a big, constant Spider-Man thing would be fucking incredible. You know what? I bet you can't just give Spider-Man to somebody new like this. Maybe after Ninja Turtles does well, because the Transformers seem to be new. No, but after all these, they gave Spider-Man to Beanox and did an okay job, but there were nobody before that. You know, I can't kid myself, they'd probably fuck up the swing.
Starting point is 02:08:53 Why? It's not their strength. I don't know, Ninja Running in Revengeance was really good. Yeah. Alright. But Jank. It was fine. Anyway.
Starting point is 02:09:04 They do it, man. Don't worry about it. We do it. Yeah. How about that Black Panther? Fucking Black Panther. So fucking cool. There you go.
Starting point is 02:09:12 Running from that cop car. The first time we see Black Panther. He's running from the police. No, the first time you see him, he's standing in the broad daylight at the airport. No. Alright. He's looking at the cops. No, he's looking at America.
Starting point is 02:09:24 And he's thinking about the cops. He's thinking about how I need to run from the cops to the next scene. And then he's fucking hoping it. Oh, God. Captain America, Supreme Civil War. Team? Well, like... What's your team?
Starting point is 02:09:40 It's not a question. What's your team? No one's on fucking Iron Man's team. Except all the cool people. Except for the fascists? No, no. I mean, like, the actual people on his team are cooler than the people on Cap's team. Sure.
Starting point is 02:09:56 But like, morally... Oh, yeah. You know? And if you read the comics, because Civil War plays out way different than that. Nobody wants to agree with Tony Stark. Yeah. And like, he has... There's some great moments in the Civil War books, I will say, like...
Starting point is 02:10:11 Spectacular. When... Amazing. Spectacular moments. Even I know that shit. There's this whole, like, vision of, like, a perfect, like, coordinated future with Cap and Tony working together. And, like, fucking, like, just sipping their coffee, sending...
Starting point is 02:10:28 And they're like, oh, we got a villain over here. All right, send East Coast Avengers and a couple X-Men. Get on that. All right, cool. Done. What's happening with these guys? Sorry, Derek. Send a few gifted people.
Starting point is 02:10:39 Yeah. Yeah, sure. But you know what I mean? And they're just like, all right, taking care of what's happening with that... Oh, no. All right, fixed. And they're just coordinating a global... Just do it all at once.
Starting point is 02:10:47 And they're just like, man, could you imagine if, like, this played out any other way? And it's just this thought of a dream, and Tony said, is he standing at Cap's grave crying, going, ugh! Yeah. Because of that handshake moment, you know? The one thing I will say that Tony's team has going for it is I love the costume that he gave Spider-Man. The Iron Spider costume is the dopest shit.
Starting point is 02:11:12 But they're not going to have that in this movie, though. Oh, of course not. He's not there. He is there. Spider-Man's there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they're not going to introduce him in that costume. No, the Spider-Man's going to come into the movie to style all over Cap and leave.
Starting point is 02:11:27 But, you know, they're making it bucky-centric as opposed to... Which is fine. It's fine. You feel bad because that's a loose end from the last movie that they don't get up on. You don't have 30 years of movies about superhero casualties like you do in the fucking comics. I wouldn't expect the main story to play out the way Civil War does because there's too many characters. But the origin...
Starting point is 02:11:51 I hope it's not going to space in this one. I hope that the origin of the Registration Act, though, is what I actually know. No, it's already known what the origin is. You see it in the paper that he hands Cap and that trailer is the Sokovia Accord. Remember that massive fuck-up that they did in Avengers 2 that dropped a whole city? That's the start. So what it is in the comics is the fucking new warriors. Shitbags that they are.
Starting point is 02:12:18 They're like the most... Nightcrasher and speedball. So what you're saying is a bunch of F-Class heroes. All have a reality TV show because that's what you do when you're a new warrior. That's all I can get. Of them going and beating up this villain that's just like... He's just kind of trying to be... He's like, leave me alone.
Starting point is 02:12:44 Right? They're just bothering him because they need footage for their stupid show. And they beat him up and chase him into an elementary school yard. And then he eventually just gets super pissed off and does the thing that his powers do, which is explode and blows up the fucking elementary school. And then the new hero... And that's where it's like, we can't have any stupid shit-ass Z tier heroes fighting any villain that's just because they feel like it. We can't do whatever because whatever. But in this movie, in the trailer at least,
Starting point is 02:13:17 just fucking Thunderbolt Ross who... Good job because you got him. The Thunderbolt Ross from the Renort movie. So because I really like that version of him. So I like that he's there and he's just like Cap. You've been working with unlimited power. And I was like, okay, that's different. So Cap, you've been working with unlimited power.
Starting point is 02:13:37 The unlimited power to kind of punch a little bit further and run a bit better. What he's specifically referring to is that the Avengers were completely... In the movies anyway, the Avengers are completely separate. And everything that happens in Avengers 2 is Tony's fault directly. He meant supervision. He meant supervision. Like in the last Captain America movie, and this is not an Avengers movie,
Starting point is 02:14:01 he ran a bit hard and found that this entire thing he's working for is super corrupt and evil because Hydra's everywhere. So it depends on what the reasoning is. You're making the point for Cap and you're right to do so. But the reality of it is that in the course of Avengers 2, a bunch of cities get fucking blown up and nobody cares about the reasons. Everybody just goes, hey, Hulk and Iron Man had a fight that blew up a city. Stop it. Yeah, but whose fault was it?
Starting point is 02:14:36 Tony's because he made Ultron. And Scarlet Witches who is part of the anti-registration side in this one. So, yeah. That's all. I like that fucking shitbag heroes blow up a school because of their dumb shit. You know what I really like? It's a great origin. You know what I really like?
Starting point is 02:14:57 Bucky and fucking Cap just beating Tony the fuck down. What a great stinger. Biggest bomber in that trailer. My favorite character in this entire movie has no lines of dialogue and is shown twice. Three times. One's standing, one's flying, and one fucking dead on the floor. And that's War Machine. Where's love for War Machine?
Starting point is 02:15:24 What do you think Ant-Man's gonna get? Ant-Man's in the movie. I know. All his scenes are option selected and don't matter to the movie. You know what? Because they had to be filmed in case we got to cut him. No, you know what? Ant-Man was in every shot of the trailer.
Starting point is 02:15:41 Remember every editing mistake where you saw somebody got hit by something that wasn't there? Yeah, that's him. That was Ant-Man. Yeah. No, and I guess what? We got three black superheroes in this movie now. Falcon. That's too many.
Starting point is 02:15:57 Falcon. War Machine. War Machine. And you got Black Panther. Black Panther. Black Panther. Black Panther. Now I'm not racist, but I think maybe we need to bring him down a peg or something like
Starting point is 02:16:10 that. So what you're saying is we have two black superheroes. Black superheroes. Two point, two point. Hold on. You guys are shit. Yeah, exactly. You can do it.
Starting point is 02:16:21 Two points. No, not even. Oh, three-fifths. It's not three-quarters, right? Yeah. So less than that. So it's out of 15. It's less than that.
Starting point is 02:16:29 It's six out of 15. Yeah. Nine out of five. Which is less than two. 1.4 blacks. Never mind. I take it back. The math.
Starting point is 02:16:39 It's nine out of 15. It's nine out of 15. What's Black Panther's country? You're right. Sorry. What's Black Panther's country? Wakanda. Wakanda.
Starting point is 02:16:47 Wakanda is apparently going to be in this movie. Oh, it was in Avengers too. Is it? It got mentioned. No, it mentioned. But is it Wakanda? Like this is super weird, impossible to explain in the modern world country. Yes.
Starting point is 02:16:58 It's like Zanzibarland. I can't wait. I can't wait. Isn't it like an African country that is like 100 years past the rest of the world? No, 100 years in the future. It is fantasy Africa. Yeah, fantasy. It is bull shit.
Starting point is 02:17:11 Sci-fi Africa. It's ridiculous. Yeah. That would probably be. And you know what it's going to be? It's going to be a totally normal, like modern city that happens to have a lab somewhere where there's vibranium. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:17:24 That's what it's going to be. And it'll be a monarchy because Black Panther's the king. Yeah, that's what it's going to be. Yeah, he's the prince. It's going to be a district nine. Yeah, district nine. Yeah, yeah, basically. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:17:40 Okay. Superheroes are dumb. I like them, but they're dumb. Yeah, I do. I like them when I have to read the comics. Unless it's Superman. Fuck that guy. We need to kill Superman.
Starting point is 02:17:55 Hopefully Batman succeeds. That'd be bestfriendcastatgmail.com. Thank you. Thank you, Liam. What was that? I got a power through it. I have no questions. I got a super best friendcast at Gmail.
Starting point is 02:18:07 I just got a tweet saying somebody the other day. It's like, I just finished listening to the podcast. I want to send you guys an email. Where do I send it? You're kidding me. I'm dead serious. And you have to be joking. And I refuse to answer their question.
Starting point is 02:18:19 You have to be joking. And that was the correct response. It's super bestfriendcastatgmail.com. Third time. All right. What have we got email wise? All right. We're going to take one.
Starting point is 02:18:28 Hey, you want to talk about an email thing you're doing right now? Yeah. I was going to get into that at the end. Oh, okay. That's a post podcast stinger. Sure. Sure. Bucky sucks.
Starting point is 02:18:39 He's not worth it. That's not true. He was cooler when he was evil. Or how about when he was a kids sidekick that actually did wet work? Yeah. He was cooler then too. Yeah. So Bucky doesn't suck.
Starting point is 02:18:53 Yeah. He sucks. Well, actually. Bucky becomes Cap. Cap's going to die. Bucky will be the new Captain America. Literally. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:19:03 That's why in all those shots, Cap has his helmet on in shots where no one else has their helmet on. Okay. So a whole bunch of people just want to let us know that we've got a Punisher, Mayor Update. Mayor Duarte is in fact- He is going to run for president. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:19:20 Because apparently the person who was like a front runner or something- He got shot. Somehow he got hit. Is not a true blooded Filipino. Okay. And that's unacceptable. Is that an actual law or is that just- Apparently there's an actual law and there's-
Starting point is 02:19:37 So it's like in the States you have to be a born American. Exactly. So they're going through the birth certificate situation basically. But with Punisher. He's going to be running it instead. He's going to fix that country. Yeah. With his own hands.
Starting point is 02:19:51 Like with these hands. This is all fun and games when it's far away. Exactly. Right? What do we have our prime minister who falls downstairs? On purpose. On purpose. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:20:04 I mean he's handsome but- He loves weed. Yeah. Loves it. He loves it. It's fun to turn on the Punisher, Mayor. When they start lining up groups of people- Yeah.
Starting point is 02:20:14 Like fucking- Oh this is a- With his hands. Look back at our podcast and see us cheering for this guy. And it's going to be real bad. Yeah. Wow. Do you want to die on this hill?
Starting point is 02:20:25 I want to die on this hill. No. No. No. No. You want us to fall down this hill? No. What I want is I want it for a sick election campaign to happen in which the person that
Starting point is 02:20:37 he ends up running against is basically a Filipino Gandhi and is the complete opposite in every way. A rough battle. And he's the problem with the country. Yeah. You're a murderer. God, it's just a movie, isn't it? Yeah, it's always.
Starting point is 02:20:51 It's just the raid. They're actually- Wrong country, but it's just the raid. So obsessed with feces and feels up on little girls. Oh, there we go. Yeah. Hey, we got one coming in from Dread Pirate Roberts. What takes the blood for the other guy?
Starting point is 02:21:01 Hey, Mother Teresa was a bitch. Let's just throw them all away. Who with what? The Dread Pirate Roberts? Yeah. Lay all those patients out to fucking bleed out and die so that you can be closer to your deity. That's the thing we should do.
Starting point is 02:21:13 Oh. The real one is like, I'm going to support these African warlords. Yeah. Oh, that. That's a fun part. That's the one. That's the fun part. MLK?
Starting point is 02:21:23 Safe. Yep. Died. Died. Died. Died. Died before you could get into any of the dirt. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:21:31 Yep. X? Pretty much safe. Exactly what you think. Yeah. In the most magneto way possible. Anyway, so we got one. We got one.
Starting point is 02:21:39 Jill always wants a piece of shit. Got one coming in. Coming in from Dread Pirate Roberts. Hey, Dread Pirate. That's his name. That's awesome. I bet that's not his name. That his name is Robert.
Starting point is 02:21:47 He just likes to be a pirate. What are your feelings on pop culture references and video games? Do you enjoy them or do you find them immersion breaking? Are they good? Yeah. I think when you hit Guacamelee. Guacamelee's the line. That game's good?
Starting point is 02:21:59 No. No, sorry. Guacamelee's passed the line. That's too far gone. It's over the line. The over the line is Legend of Zelda Triforce Heroes. Oh, really? Too far is, like, dead in the water over the line is Guacamelee.
Starting point is 02:22:15 You know what's right on the line and still, like, eh, it's Ace Attorney and Justice for All when you're talking to the clown and he says, I was raised in West, I was in West Clown Delphia. I was born and raised. That's hilarious. And the circus school is where I spend most of my day. That's perfect. That's on the line because I laughed and then went, that's terrible.
Starting point is 02:22:37 Exactly. The thing is, I'll read it, probably have a sensible chuckle, and then hate it. There's stuff. Because it ruins the timelessness. Like, Context is everything, but like in Triforce Heroes, I'll bring it up again. There's just, like, straight up, like, doge quotes right in there. Oh, yeah. Such ruins, much ancient or whatever.
Starting point is 02:22:55 Yeah, I saw that. It's like, fuck. Oh. Hey, that's gonna be funny. In a Zelda game. If you're into that, it'll be funny for, like, a couple days. As long as it's in that one. But if it's in a year.
Starting point is 02:23:05 But if it's in that one, that's fine. It's gonna be old and tired. Even that. But if it was in a console one, then, like, yeah, it'd be, like, almost a year in beautiful. It's memes moving at the speed of corporate, just... Yeah, it was way slower. Like, you know what the real answer is? Don't do it.
Starting point is 02:23:20 And, like, you know what the real good answer is? Matt, you saw Inside Out. Yeah. You make up Triple Dent Gum. You make up your own one and you run with it. You know what I mean? You do it. Bring back memes.
Starting point is 02:23:33 If you... You just did nothing wrong. No. You made your own for public culture shit. If you're thinking about it, think again. And then think again. And then don't do it. So here's what I didn't know.
Starting point is 02:23:44 Because I had to use Imgur for the contest that I'll get into a bit later. And I was going to click... The creator. And I saw Create a Meme. And I was like, what? And I clicked on it. And it was fucking disgusting. Where do you think the level of trash in there is...
Starting point is 02:23:57 I had no idea that... Hey, when you democratize creative output, guess what happens? So if you're out there making a creative thing, and I'm going to quote Pat here. And you think you want to put a meme in there. Think about it. And then think about it again. And then don't do it because it's not the right idea. It's probably not.
Starting point is 02:24:14 If you have to think about putting a meme in your game, don't do it. And if you're the kind of person that'll just slam it in there and you're like, fuck you guys. You suck. Well, we couldn't stop you anyway. Well, memes are generally different from public culture references. They are. They still say that what I think works and that you say kind of time dates it, but this works in its sense, is not Mr. But Mrs. Splosion Man is still on point where if you just have
Starting point is 02:24:39 Mrs. Splosion Man sit there, she'll just go through every 90s and early aughts lyricals of whatever girl songs and the predator reference there is super strong because it's one of those references where if you don't know what it is, it fits. It was like the boss going, what the hell are you? And just beep boops. It's thing and explodes. And that just seems like a general boss thing to do. If you know predator, I fucking laugh my ass off.
Starting point is 02:25:06 Sure. We were talking about internet culture there, which is not pop culture. Here's the thing. There's always exceptions to the rule. Nobody would remember Duke Nukem nearly as well if he didn't just steal his lines from Evil Dead and stuff like that. And to be fair, while Duke Nukem Forever is a heaping pile of the worst shit ever, when you find his throne room and there's the Duke Nukem version of the Kramer painting, which
Starting point is 02:25:35 has to be the most. It wasn't the most inside joke in the world at the time it was supposed to come out, but when it did come out, it was the most inside joke I've ever seen. That's great. Yeah. That wasn't anyone's intention. I think it's almost 100% a matter of time. If it came out within the past year, it's probably too recent to be good.
Starting point is 02:25:56 Is it super old and you still love it? Yeah. But those are hard. Like arrow to the knee, is that? Oh, no, that's still relevant. Everyone still loves that. No, but that's what I'm saying. Maybe in time, but I'm more inclined to say people will just forget about it.
Starting point is 02:26:11 Every single game released after Skyrim for six months had an achievement that had that. If your pop culture or internet reference lasted like 10 years. Then it's probably good enough. Then it's probably good. If I played a game now and I got all your base achievement, I would crack up. I would be like, oh, I remember that dumb fucking thing. It's still important to do it properly because if you ape it too hard and you have a guy quote the whole thing.
Starting point is 02:26:46 No way. Shut up. I'm turning around. I want a game made now that's quoting all your base and it's quoting fucking like dumb early new ground shit. Fucking body massage. I want. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:27:01 Yeah. No, dude. It's time and it's anything that you remember that's like super old that meant that you remembered it. If you remember it and nobody else does that it's fine. Yeah. The more inside the more inside it is the better it is because what's unpopular is cool. It's true.
Starting point is 02:27:21 It's very hard. There's no good rule for this. No. No. Cramer man. There's a Duke version of the Cramer. Well he knows. Almost everyone listening to this doesn't know what that is.
Starting point is 02:27:34 Well he produced and directed Duke Nukem Forever. I forgot. Credited and everything. Inside. We got one coming in from Grey Voltage and he just wants to let us know. Is he higher? That. Is he high Voltage?
Starting point is 02:27:48 No he's lower. You haven't given me anything. Fuck you. Well he's great. Yeah. I was so earnest. He wants to let us know that David Cage used to compose and he actually. Time cop.
Starting point is 02:27:59 He did the soundtrack for Time Cop on this mess. Super Nintendo. And guess what? It's not bad. It's terrible. I listened to one of the songs and it wasn't bad. I'm pretty sure me and Matt played Time Cop or our Super Nintendo movie episode and I don't remember the music at all.
Starting point is 02:28:12 It's bad. I remember it. The track for the level we're in was terrible. Okay. Matt being a time cop expert. Yeah. I want to take his. I watched it not too long ago.
Starting point is 02:28:20 What the fuck is that? Super good. He likes it. In the game can you do the splits on the counter? You cannot. Can you touch people and turn into blobs of nothing? No. Like nulls from maybe?
Starting point is 02:28:30 Dude you could only touch yourself. Yeah. It's not a power. Shut up. Whatever. You can't go back in the thirties and make tons of money though. I just want to see a SNES sprite of a stupid reboot null melting into nothing. You just want to see a SNES sprite of a reboot.
Starting point is 02:28:45 And like Glacius. Blank. He's a new mercy. It's Super Nintendo clearing thing. We'll totally get you where you need to go. That's true. That's true. Got one coming in from Charlie.
Starting point is 02:28:54 Hey Charlie. And Charlie. You see there's an old one. When you play a game by yourself do you play with subtitles on or off? Always on. Always on. Sometimes it depends on the game. I think that's...
Starting point is 02:29:06 Most of the time on but depends on the game. The only time I turn them off is if I play for like maybe two hours and I find myself I'm very confident in their audio mixing. Yeah. Like that's a big part of it for sure. The one reason I almost always keep it on is because usually there's going to be things that I can't hear, that it seems that they want me to hear but they mix the music too loud or what have you.
Starting point is 02:29:26 In open world games I almost always turn them on because I don't have faith in everything mixing. If there's anyone else in the room always on as well. The big one is the thing of the last of us for example. Like you turn those subtitles on and they will tell you what people are talking about. People that you have no chance of hearing. No chance. And that you're designed to be walking up into the middle of the conversation.
Starting point is 02:29:53 Yeah. But because your subtitles are on you actually get the whole conversation. Yeah. It's weird. Sometimes you get to read things ahead of the time when you should read them. Yeah. Like seeing oh god oh no please before the moment happens. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:30:09 It's all about subtitles. I think it's vital that I have the subtitles on because I can read a lot faster than they can speak. And then you get shitty subtitles like you remember in Tomb Raider the recent one where the subtitles were colored text depending on the character in a big thick black box. Do you remember that? That's like closed captioning actually. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:30:30 It's like closed captioning. You should look it up because that was ugly. Not cool. And also what's your favorite Colossus? Colossus? I've answered this before. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 02:30:40 It's the Russian one. It's 11? Yeah. It's 11. It's the Phalanx. Phalanx. Which one is yours? I said the Russian one.
Starting point is 02:30:50 The Russian one? Yeah. He throws Wolverine all the time. He's a funny guy. Oh that's super good. Funny guy. You could have made it cool. Well I remember we had like an hour long argument over two Colossuses in which they're defining
Starting point is 02:31:02 characteristics are that they fly. They're basically the same. Colossi. It's alright. Colossi. And Woolly likes the small Agile one and I like the stupid gigantic one that covers the whole sky. That's it.
Starting point is 02:31:15 Like that's it. We're coming to that decision with the same answer. Just slightly varied. And then you're on the Phalanx as well? Phalanx. Phalanx. He's cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:31:28 Lastly come in from Green Goblin. You're dead. 86. And it's kind of long but I'm going to cut to the chase on it. Your Master Madden and the Three Jive Turkeys. I love it. I love it. That's our other radio show.
Starting point is 02:31:40 I'm a Jive Turkey. A few days ago a friend and I were discussing Pinnacle games at various points in history. Yeah. And Flashpoint games. And he said that Page Story was one of if not the greatest indie game ever made. Well I love the Cave Story. I told him he's overselling himself on its impact. Di-ya-di-ya-di-ya-da.
Starting point is 02:31:59 And then he asked me to name a bigger one in terms of just impact. Indie games specifically? Indie games. My mind went to Minecraft but suddenly in which time like slowdown I then went backwards and hit something I didn't even prepare myself for and quietly said Tetris. Tetris is the biggest indie game ever made. Tetris had a big one. It was published by Nintendo.
Starting point is 02:32:20 Oh Nintendo. That doesn't count. So my friend didn't initially take the censor as it didn't feel correct to him. So then I laid it out that in a literal sense an indie game is just a game in which the intellectual property is created without financing or support of a distributor slash publisher. For the story of Tetris I'm sure you know the basics. Here's a refresher though. Alexey Benchenov.
Starting point is 02:32:42 Exactly. Designed the game in 84 by himself as a means to test the hardware at the Soviet Academy of Sciences. So before Nintendo came into that. But by that idea. Just about every old game falls into that. Like 40 to 60 percent of old games are indie games. Yeah there's a bunch of games that were made.
Starting point is 02:33:00 Anything ever made in the game. The interest of video games. That's why the distinction is weird. What's indie gets super weird because like is double fine games now indie? Is a game that has kickstarted an indie game. Is the witness. Indie is like. One of the first video games I was just the dials that you turn tennis to.
Starting point is 02:33:20 Yeah. Like that was just made. Every single PC game that is self published indie. Yeah. Definitions get weird. But Tetris. No way. It doesn't count.
Starting point is 02:33:32 So cave stories up there. I remember. Tell me the story about how cave story came to be and it was like instantly one of those super amazing old timey games. I don't know. Like Game Changer. Like big crazy things. I'd say Minecraft is out there.
Starting point is 02:33:47 Yeah. Because it didn't have like Microsoft bought it. I'd say up there would be Counter Strike. The mod. Yeah. Yeah. Not the retail release. The mod.
Starting point is 02:34:01 We'll see the impact. Dota. It's Dota. I guess you're drawing Dota. Dota. Counter Strike. It turned to comments on like the actual impact of Undertale. The mods more than anything.
Starting point is 02:34:10 Well the Minecraft too. It's too recent. We're in the middle of it. You can't get an accurate perspective on it. I can name you an indie game that sold more and has had a bigger impact than Undertale and came out at pretty much the same time. Undertale is too recent. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:34:26 Absolutely. But I don't know. We'll see in five years. There's a lot of other ones that like had pretty heavy impacts that like get glossed over a lot like Braid. Like. I don't think Braid gets glossed over at all. I thought Braid crossed my mind but then I didn't bring it up because it was like.
Starting point is 02:34:39 It published by Microsoft or was it not. Well that was because every game on Xbox Live needed a publisher at the time. It was one of the like one of the first ones that turned heads in that generation. I think where the definition gets kind of murky. Yeah. It's the definition. Well no. On Xbox Live that was because Microsoft was being fucking dickholes and they were like
Starting point is 02:34:58 no you need a publisher. So they're publisher games. They're published games by proxy. And man there's only 52 slots a year. Which will. That's impossible. Mer. Mer.
Starting point is 02:35:09 What is coming up? Lots of stuff. Lots of stuff coming up. You mentioned Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy X for X if you prefer. Yeah. So it just so happened that we're entering an L3. Are you using Cheer Every Battle?
Starting point is 02:35:23 No. Cheer. Sometimes you're doing it wrong. You should do it every battle. I don't think. I think I'll play it the way I want. I saw some fucking guy. Oh man.
Starting point is 02:35:32 Hey. What if we like. I cheer a lot. What if the battle ends and we win. Yeah. Is that okay? The same rule set that me and Liam went on. Mary RBG.
Starting point is 02:35:41 Yep. Did we die? Zero times. This game's for babies. Cause we've played almost. We have like 18 parts. Seven deaths. And we have.
Starting point is 02:35:50 I've yet to die. Spoiler alert. I'm playing it. Fine. So probably not good enough. More than ever. Like blood born. We were really far ahead.
Starting point is 02:35:58 And we were like guys you're yelling into the future. You're. Sorry you're yelling into the past. FF 10. Like. I know it's going to happen. But guess what? Did we beat the boss?
Starting point is 02:36:07 We did. Yeah. So it's fine. Exactly. No I agree with you. Here's the real one. Did you find the secret bonus area in each of the faith temples? No.
Starting point is 02:36:16 Cause I hate the faith temples. The worst part of the game. I hate them too. I don't know. I hate them. Why do you think about that? They're terrible. No you know about them.
Starting point is 02:36:24 Oh yeah. We got FF 10. We're entering. It's a period of time that happens not often. But the planets align and all our LPs rotate. This new age is the age of we got off the boat. Yeah. We got off the boat.
Starting point is 02:36:41 So new stuff. Elf Island age. Things that are starting this week. Final Fantasy 10 with Matt and Woolly. Yeah. We got the old hunters coming this week. Is it this week? It's just barely this week.
Starting point is 02:36:52 It's just barely this week. End of this week. Yes. Sunday. I believe. There's you and me doing something. That's actually next week. That's actually next week.
Starting point is 02:37:01 So that should slow down the spamming messages. Yeah. We're doing the old hunters guys. You think that will maybe now? And if you don't like seeing footage with overleveled characters, start telling me now. It's too late. The third of the Devils continues. Devils continues.
Starting point is 02:37:20 Yeah. Matt continues. And in the lead up to that, when people saw it on Vessel, there was people messaging me and like not many, but a couple of people were like, that's like the worst game in a long time. That's ridiculous. Every time I was just like, nope, because I knew Afrosamurai was coming up. Afrosamurai's coming up this week.
Starting point is 02:37:39 Afrosamurai makes Devils 3rd look like Vanquish. Even if Afrosamurai didn't exist, like Devils 3rd is like a mediocre game. Those European reviews were. No, it's a mediocre game, but holy shit, I can name like a million things. If you're not aware, Afrosamurai is the super best joint. It's all of us. All the warriors. I think this would be aside from like a best friends beat them up.
Starting point is 02:38:03 I think it's as close as you can say the first full LP of something that exists. Because it was more than one part. We accidentally beat the entire game. I accidentally a full LP. Exactly. Oops. All done. That's where you go.
Starting point is 02:38:20 It's a new and exciting future. I think that's everything. Game of Thrones started. Game of Thrones. Can't forget about games all dead. Yes. For those like me and Woolly resigned. It's a full refresh.
Starting point is 02:38:32 That a lot of people don't watch that LP anymore because the game is so sick. Yeah. And like we totally get that. That's why this is turned into I don't care anymore. I'm throwing every character under the bus. You should have played the Minecraft one. I'm good. So, but the shocking truth that you don't know is that right before recording this,
Starting point is 02:38:56 Woolly was sleeping at my desk looking like he was done. And I was not up for recording this mother and we sat down and had a whopper of recording session. That was after we recorded all those fisticuffs that Woolly was also about to die during. No, that was Afrosamurai Day. That was Afrosamurai Day. This was during the three days in which I didn't sleep for three days straight. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:39:20 That was a good day. I'm so happy with the Reddit. Yeah. Fucking just making Mayor Asher and oops, all dead, the Forrester banner. Don't tend to toot the horn, but... I was fucking great. Confident in this horn suit. Not confident in the game.
Starting point is 02:39:37 Confident with our ability to make fun of a game or nothing is happening. Mayor's Edge is done also. Yeah. You gotta tap into the dumb place. I saw somebody say that it was the shortest LP we'd ever done. It's incredibly wrong. I believe where the Samurai is. No, it's incredibly wrong.
Starting point is 02:39:53 What's shorter? All of the old school playthroughs. Every old school playthrough. Yeah, Streets of Rage is under an hour. Did those count? Yes, because they got completed. Streets of Rage is a one CC playthrough, so fuck you, that doesn't count. Wow, damn.
Starting point is 02:40:07 Even if they didn't count, Afrosamurai is only three parts. Yes. It'll be done by the end of the week. Enjoy your fucking shit Afro game. Yeah, it gets shorter than Mayor's Edge, but Mayor's Edge was short and short. How long was Mayor's Edge? Six parts. Okay, so it was...
Starting point is 02:40:21 Yeah. There's a lot of shorter playthroughs in there. Yeah. Wild Gun, Battle Clash. Yeah, and the last episode was like 20 minutes. I got some messages from people saying that they also didn't know you had to shoot the servers. I'm not the only person. You can run around and punch and kick them.
Starting point is 02:40:36 It's close. No, but no. It's not longer. But no, letting the bullets hit it by mistake or whatever is like, yeah, but that's not actually a wrong strategy. Yeah, but it's better. It's better that way. It's better to do it wrong. Anyway.
Starting point is 02:40:48 I'll explain it afterwards. That's what's going on. And what are you looking forward to? I'm looking forward to being thirsty. L.A. Being thirsty all week. L.A. L.A.
Starting point is 02:41:00 Being thirsty all week. La la la la la. Xenoblade Chronicles X that this week. I'm excited to play that. For anyone who's getting that game, physically, don't forget to download your free DLC packs that let the game load quicker. Yeah, because they're big and they'll make the game better for you. But if you're getting it digitally, who cares? Yeah, you don't need it that way.
Starting point is 02:41:22 Because you're getting it digitally. Guess what? You should get it digitally. So you guys are going out to L.A.? Well, you can get it cheaper physically, though. Can you? Over 75 bucks Canadian on the eShop. I'm getting my copy for $42.
Starting point is 02:41:34 Oh, because of Amazon? Because of eShop prices. Well, Lee and I will for sure be on Max's stream on Tuesday night. That's betting for me. We will. I'll be sure to show you lots of pictures of me petting him. We will definitely be there for that. And we'll also be hanging out with some mystery friends.
Starting point is 02:41:53 They are not ready to reveal quite yet. Oh, excuse me. I didn't realize. No, no, no. No one's figured it out. Max doesn't know if they are either. I don't even know. I didn't realize.
Starting point is 02:42:02 Someone's just picking us up at the airport. Just hang out at the corner. See what happens. See what happens. A lot of people live in the community. I asked Fred Durst on Twitter, are you in L.A. this week? Hey. Oh, really?
Starting point is 02:42:12 Can I be on your Twitter? Before I forget, I need to tell this story on the way here. Matt and I are walking through Alexis Neon. Yeah. Yeah, you have to say this. This nice lady walks up to me and says, oh, hello. And I turn around and go, oh, hey, what's up? We have some weed.
Starting point is 02:42:34 Would you like to buy it from us? Look at the whitest white girls. All right. That's a new one. Like, what the hell? It's a new one, yeah. And I laughed and started to walk away. And then she was like, oh, whoops.
Starting point is 02:42:48 What? You ever watched the show Weeds? I did not. So also confirmed Mira's edge, not even close. Best Friends Place, sort of the Berserk. Five episodes, two hours and 30 minutes long combined. Yeah. It's got to be one of the beat-ups though.
Starting point is 02:43:04 No, it's just no one remembers these LPs. Yeah, we listed single episode LPs. It's got to be Streets. Beats of Streets. Beginner's Guide. No, that's Longer than the Streets of Preach. Oh, Timewise. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:43:19 I don't remember that you called Berserk on the Dreamcast the best Resident Evil game on the Dreamcast. What? That's what it says. Where? This is the wiki for guts range. That must have been a punchline to an abstract joke. You know what?
Starting point is 02:43:34 You know what? You're not even wrong. A CV is not good. There you go. Not this weekend, but next weekend, it's PlayStation Experience and I happen to be going there. You've got to play KOF XIV. You happen to be going there. There's other things you're in town for?
Starting point is 02:43:52 Yeah, absolutely. You happen to be there then. Actually, you've got to play KOF XIV. I'm going to. I would like to. I don't want, I like, I really want you to go come back and in some, because you're not super familiar, really have a lot of love for KOF games. You've got to come back and say, dude, it was super good.
Starting point is 02:44:11 Yeah, it looks crap or whatever. Yeah. But if you could just somehow like explain to us. Parascope. Parascope you in. I'm expecting that to be the case. Yeah. And I'm, I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for how I'm going to handle that.
Starting point is 02:44:26 Just sucks because the last trailer came out and like Andy looks like shit. Okay. You're fine now. We didn't talk about Andy. How about on camera? Andy looks like shit. I saw this character by far. I saw, I saw Wally's gimmick and whereas you posted a picture of a dumpster.
Starting point is 02:44:41 I posted a picture of a dumpster on fire for that trailer. Yeah. Dude. Like Leona looks great. Andy looks like shit. Andy looks like he's from a different game. Yeah. It's really looks like a background character.
Starting point is 02:44:54 He, he honestly looks worse than his character model. Even if it's improving from trailer to trailer, it's the fact that the person behind this thought that that was okay to show. Yeah. Yeah. Thought that was a good idea. That's where my faith. Well, here's, here's the deal.
Starting point is 02:45:11 Here's where their faith is. Every time they put out a new KOF 14 trailer, comments are disabled. Yeah. Yeah. What's the point even? Yeah. After the first one, what's the point? Having them open.
Starting point is 02:45:22 You know what I mean? Because people are just going to regurgitate the same thing. Is it on such a fucking tight schedule that they have to start marketing now? Like I don't know what it's about tomorrow. Well, it's, I mean... It's so weird to not just... It seems like a regular build up for a fighting game, no? But just wait till it, till it's presentable, you know?
Starting point is 02:45:39 Wait till it's not naked. We'll see. Put some clothes on that thing. Here's the thing. That conversation happened behind closed doors. And I said, hey, when's this game going to be good enough to show? And someone looked at them and said, never. And they went, oh, well, okay.
Starting point is 02:45:50 Sick. Great. All right. Did you guys shit out a trailer for us? No? Okay, fine. I'll make one. Put a bird on it.
Starting point is 02:45:58 Put a bird on it. Put a bird on the KOF. Check out Darius Burst Chronicles. It comes out this week. Gotcha. Do you like Darius? Sounds good. Uh, Dementium Remastered comes out this week.
Starting point is 02:46:09 It comes out this week? I'm going to bring my 3DS. Hopefully I have an opportunity to download it. Because that's Wednesday. That's Thursday. Thursday, yeah. Not Thursday. And uh...
Starting point is 02:46:19 And uh... Pat is strangling himself with his headphones right now. Oh, no. I'm looking forward to it. We're packing and moving. Because I'm moving to a new place. Of course, yeah. Hey, what, uh...
Starting point is 02:46:28 That'd be fine. I'm sure there's stuff, but... It'll be rewarding. If you think you know what we like and what's cool in LA, tell us. I want to know. Places to eat, especially. Places to eat and... Places to get drugs.
Starting point is 02:46:40 Yeah, because all I really got in my head is like some arcades were going to fucking hit up and that's about it. There's not that many. Okay, well then don't... You don't have to send them places to get drugs then. Two, when I... Could probably hit up Wednesday night fights, maybe. GFest as Chicago...
Starting point is 02:46:54 I'd be cool. Chicago has Galloping Coast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Mecca. Ah. Primal Range 2, fuck the West. Fair enough. Have the West get Primal Range 2, get on that level.
Starting point is 02:47:08 Fair enough. Yeah. Um... Fuck all y'all. That's... Anything else for me? I think we're more or less got everything off the plate except for that one thing that you want to talk about.
Starting point is 02:47:19 Yeah, there you go. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's everything you want to talk about. Yeah, on Friday's my birthday. Hey! No.
Starting point is 02:47:27 No, the real thing is, of course, the Indivisible Contest that we're running, and there's going to be some details that I'm going to probably run into on the preview for this thing, but right now, here's what's up. There's five days left. Five days left on Indivisible, and we want to help it out because shit looks dope. So, what we did was I got in touch with Plague of Grypes, Zone, and Cranky Construct. They are artists. They are artists.
Starting point is 02:47:52 So they say. We have a tier that allows us to put the Baz in Indivisible as a boss. Shit's going to be dope. Everyone will be forced to confront him. Now, the thing is, is that we can just throw the Baz in there. He's got to look like he fits in the world of Indivisible. So, we had them design three different... They took their own interpretations of the Baz thematically appropriate to the world of
Starting point is 02:48:17 Indivisible. Yeah. And you can check out the link I'm going to put in this podcast. Make sure to do it. But also, everywhere else, we're going to have it on our Facebook, and it's also mentioned on our thing, but there's an Imgur album which you can check it out, see which one you like, and then in order to let us know, you have to vote on one that you prefer. Send the letter to superbestfriendcast.gmail.com saying, I'm voting for Indivisible, that Baz
Starting point is 02:48:45 type. And then you should... Yeah. And then the... Or the intro guy. Or the zone cranky. Exactly. And you also have to include a screenshot of proof that you backed Indivisible.
Starting point is 02:48:58 So you can censor out your price and the money or all that stuff. We don't care about that. I just want to see your name and the backer page, or perhaps the email they sent you, just as proof that it's like, hey, you supported the project. You're doing this on good faith. You don't need like super stringent, like you don't need social insurance. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 02:49:16 I'm not going to go digging too deep. But you know, exactly. Yeah. Any votes so far? Yeah. Yeah. We have three votes. That's good.
Starting point is 02:49:25 In this room. We've got quite a few actually. We're not going to taint it by saying our votes. Mike Z voted. Yeah. So it's real. Tell me who we voted for after this. I will.
Starting point is 02:49:34 I will. Because that's the one that will go in. And you know... This is going to be his cat again. Yeah. I believe that the polls close, obviously. When the game is open, they're going to be closed. So we'll see how that goes.
Starting point is 02:49:51 Early and often. Okay. Well, the polls will close either if the game doesn't get funded, and if the game does get funded, then they'll be open if they have a PayPal option thing. So it'll be closed. Well, we've got to hammer down the design. And they'll close. Oh, they'll close.
Starting point is 02:50:03 So five days. Or four. That's a Tuesday. Whatever. Yeah. And you know, the votes are coming in. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:50:13 So that's that. Okay. They're doing good, actually. We defeated the podcast. The podcast is over. KO'd. Guts is off the boat. Guts is off the boat.
Starting point is 02:50:24 Wait, is he really off the boat, though? It's a new era for all of us. I don't believe that he is. The Fantasia arc has actually finally started. What about the boat of his mind? Okay, shut up. It might be. It might be.
Starting point is 02:52:07 Oh, yeah. Pause. Pause. Baby, baby, say goodbye I got you, say goodbye Say goodbye Goodbye
