Castle Super Beast - SBFC 129: A Proper Chuffed Scatcast

Episode Date: January 26, 2016

This week on the Friendcast: A care package from a friend at Capcom, Dragon's Dogma and SFV plot discussion, and words about Mighty no.9. That's a whole lotta Capcom.

It's the scat cast. No, don't. Scat cast. What, you don't like Scat Man? There's also a Super Nintendo game called Scat. Yeah, SCAT. Yeah, the Scat Man. That was a cool name at the time.

We all need trombones and shitty hats. Because Scat Man was a thing at the time. It was a Super Nintendo game. Shitty hats or shitty hats? Shitty hats. Okay. And it wasn't a Scat Man game. I love a Scat Man game.

Was that a trick? And it's also a rhythm game. That'd be good. Yeah. I mean, Chester Cheeto got one. Sequel to Boogerman. Here we go. Little did I know that when we started this,

that it would be the Scat Cast. The Scat Cast. Scat Cast. Super breast Scat Cast. Well, it reminds me when we were watching the rumble. Oh, I kept yelling out because I wanted it to happen. Scat Man. I wanted somebody who lost to just shit their pants.

It happens sometimes. Yeah, Bret Hart did it that one year. Oh, my God. He achieved this. Could you imagine if Roman Reigns had chewed his pants? Had chewed his pants. During his big intro, and he just shits his pants. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

He does the fist pounds right at the moment of impact. Yeah, yeah. I've always wondered about this. In all the years that wrestling has been after for almost 50 years, at some big moment, someone must have had a tummy ache at some point, and you're like, oh, it's just a tummy ache. It'll be fine. Yeah.

It has to have happened. Yeah. I'll ask Jay Hunter about it. Like 100 times. Like, yeah. In 50 years, yes, there's been 100 times where a wrestler performed a Scat move in the ring. Yeah. I mean, hey, like fucking Scat counter.

Scat counter. Fat 2 got pretty close. Yeah. Did he not? His entire move was that. It was pretty close. Right, bro. You know what?

Whether or not it was the Scat version was dependent on whether he wiped that morning. That's all it took. Oh, no. Oh, no. Jimmy Helt. Welcome to episode 129 of The Scat Cast. Yeah. Let me hear an esoteric fact about the number 129.

So now you have to find an esoteric fact about poop that has 129. Please find one. Hmm. Yeah. No, that's not true. I'm not going to. I'm going to ignore your stupid requirements. Okay.

And I'm going to. Fair enough. I'm going to give you guys. Pick arbitrarily. Okay. Arbitrarily, we know that the year 129 was when the Pope Justice of Alexandria died. Sorry. So you managed to do it anyway.

Their name is what? Pope Justice of Alexandria. It sounds like a final boss. Yeah. Was he succeeded by Pope Scrillux? Yeah. A tale of swords and souls eternally retold. Yeah.

Pope Judgment. What's Pope Justice known for? What do you do? Pope Vengeance. You do any cool stuff? Yeah. Pope Duststriker. Which fighting game character do you want to be the Pope?

Oh, Kai. Is it Dizzy? Well, hold on a minute. Oh, shut up. We already have a Pope-like kid in Battle Fantasia. Yeah, we do. We do. There's a religious, like, pastor guy in Rage of the Dragons, isn't there?

There is. Elias. What about Rage? What about Rage? Just make Rage the Pope. Pope Warren. Did you see Jeff Gershman talking about Warren? What did he say?

I did not. No. No. Because, well, you'll notice, Warren is, like, this terrible little, like, he's, like, this little old man from Hawaii in this game, in this fighting game, Power Moves. Oh, yeah. Right? And his move is just spinning, and he's a little, like, chubby old man.

And, like, Jeff Gershman just wrote, Why is everyone searching for Warren on our Wikipedia? Oh, God, he's moving up the ranks of the highest-searched characters. What's happening? Everyone's just telling him to push Warren. You just put the Streisand effect on Power Moves, Gershman. Yeah, Power Moves. Anyway. Pope Justice.

That fucking blue guy. Anyway. And the Pope of Power Moves. See, yeah. It's on the list. Don't worry. Okay. Soon you guys will know what Power Moves is.

I'm good. No, you're not. You thought you were. But you didn't know that you needed Mode 7. Is that the one with Rasputin? No. No, no, no. That should be a double bill.

I didn't dive, like, deep enough. I didn't dive nearly as deep as you guys did. William knows that World Heroes is, like, secretly the best fighting game in the game. World Heroes Perfect? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. World Heroes Jet.

World Heroes Perfect is the perfect one. Perfect is Brock and Never Forget. It's so good, though. Anyway. Is Kurt Hennig in that game? No. There is a wrestler, though. There's a wrestler that looks kind of like him, though.

A little bit. No, I'm not even joking. There's a wrestler that kind of looks like Mr. Perfect. There's a wrestler named Muscle Power. And he's got the same hair and everything. He's more of a Hulk Hogan ripoff? Yeah, definitely. Damn it, I was right, and now I'm sad.

What's that box? Oh, there's a box that our friend Drew sent us. What's in the box? What's in the box? What's in the box? So where's this box from? Capcom. Capcom USA.

Capcom was moving their offices, so they have some stuff, and Drew kindly asked if we'd want some of this stuff. Yeah, he was sending gloves and shit to Max, too. So he sent us a bunch of stuff from the old Capcom USA office. I believe the way it started was, get on this shit if you want to get your crazy old Onimusha peripherals or something. Yeah, he's like, hey guys, we got a bunch of Onimusha PS2 controllers. Anybody want this garbage? And I went, I want those controllers! So we got a note from Drew.

It's a sorry for the ratty packaging, but hey, free is free. Hope you enjoy these leftovers. Free is free. That's a simple statement, but it's very, very true. You get the note. Well, I carried the box here, so I get mostly everything. Destiny is destiny. I asked for the stuff, and then you hijacked it to get it sent to your place.

Well, no, because my place is the best. Oh my god, look at this amazing Monster Hunter shirt. Aw, sick. I don't want that. That's nice. That's really cool. It's really good. Hunt me.

Yeah, I can't wear that. What size is it? There's a lot of them, apparently. What size is it? I don't know. Let me see it. Just, uh... Hunt him.

Is it a fat? Yeah. That's the same shirt, Pat. No. Yeah, that's why I saw that this was the size. The size is kind of fat. This can be my fat shirt around the... Give me my bag.

Are they both the same size? They're both large. Yeah, they're both large. If you want one, lay them. Sure, why not? Hunt him. Thanks for giving me my fat shirt. Kind of fat's no good.

Yeah. Fat. This. Oh, what is this? It's a wall scroll. It's a Devil May Cry wall scroll. It's a Devil May Cry wall scroll. It's a scroll of Nero's hand.

Well, he needs to up his collection. Well, he's got some empty wall space. He can fill that up. I don't think he does, but he'll find it. Oh, my God. We have Super Street Fighter IV thumb fighters. Oh! Oh!

I remember those. I'll take Blanka. Okay. You'll take them all. Chun-Li is dead and gone. There's no Chun-Li here. Maybe she's in the box. You guys can fight over it.

She could. Oh, there's a DJ one for your thumb. No? There's a jury one as well. No interest? Nobody? No, no. You got it.

There's some old stuff. I have a tiny little piece of stuff. I have a tiny little piece of stuff. You got a hammer room from CVS II. Oh, I remember those faces. Dang. That's some old stuff. Wow.

You can complete your Haomaru collection. I do have another Haomaru statue. Another Monster Hunter shirt. I'm just going to take all these Monster Hunter shirts. They're all the same. There's another Monster Hunter shirt. They're all the same Monster Hunter shirt. Oh, wait.

Do me a solid check. Just check if they're all large. I can tell just by picking them up. Mac can check. Mac can check. I'll check later. Because I do really like them. I do like them.

It's a good design. Well, it's motivation. What is that? It's a faceplate. Is it a PS4 faceplate? It's a PS4 faceplate. Cool. I was hoping it was a 360 faceplate.

Oh, fuck off. That'd be great. I know exactly what that is. Oh, it's Ryu. It's the Street Fighter V, Ryu. Yeah. Good job, Pat. It's yours now.

It's awesome. Who wants this? Will you want it, Neely? I'm good. I'm good. Are you sure? I will be replacing my, I don't care, man. You see where my stuff is.

It's in the corner. I don't mind, too, but I still... Oh, God. Here you go. Thank you. You click... I've got a nice one on my PS4 anyway. You clearly want it more.

I'm just going to throw all the garbage in there. Yeah. This was the nice one. Yeah. Oh, man. What is... It's a little Chun-Li Percy in that thing. That's a little Hello Kitty Chun-Li.

Oh, shit. I'm taking this. Point purse. Oh, I've seen that before. That was great. Nice. There's way more stuff in here than I thought there was. Oh, my God.

Really? Yeah, there's a lot. There's more thumb fighters coming. Maybe we should kick it into turbo. Another wall scroll. We've got Capcom things. We've got Devil May Cry 3 wall scroll. Here, just throw them over there.

Here, pass me the stickers. I'll distribute them. All right. Here you go, Liam. We've got Ryu and Ken. More thumb fighters. More thumb fighters. Oh, okay.

Wow. Oh, yeah. More? What do we got? What is it? We have Harvey Birdman for PSP and three copies of Marvel. Three for the Vita. Three Japanese copies of Marvel.

For the Vita. Which he doesn't know why they were around the office, but... Harvey Birdman. I can imagine why. Do you want one of these, Willie? Yes. Sure. Those are the Onamusha controllers.

Yeah, we got Onamusha 3 PS2 controllers. That's the only way to see the frame data. That's the only way to see the frame data. It is a Japanese copy, but if you want to... It'll run. It'll run. Yeah, it'll run. Thank you.

Take both, because you have my PS2 still. All right. But just, they're mine. They're just yours. But you want both? Well, use those for when we play PS2 games. But are these even good? What are these?

They're just PS2 controllers. When you do the full... They're just with a graphic on it. When you do the full LP, you'll need it. There's a Turbo Action button on them, though. Perfect. Oh, my God. Look at this foam finger.

Objection. Oh, it's an A-C-T-R-E foam finger. Nice. That's great. Awesome. Topical. I can bring that to a wrestling match. Oh, my God.

I object to this terrible booking. Capcom Fanny Packs. You need some Blanca-colored Fanny Pack. That's awesome. You always need a Fanny Pack. More thumb fighters? More thumb fighters. I think we have the full set.

Ooh, that's a... Oh, man. It's Sir Omnomnom. It's Sir Omnomnom from Lost Planet. From Lost Planet, yeah. That's awesome. I didn't know they made any plushies or anything for Lost Planet. No, they did that for Remember Capcom Unity?

Yeah, of course. Sir Omnomnom was their mascot. Oh, a Dustforce vacuum. It's a Dustforce Roomba. They published Dustforce on the Vita. That's cool. They made a Roomba? I guess so.

That's crazy. That's really neat. Yeah. It's a PC copy of Dark Void. For Gates or Windows Live, get the fuck out. I don't know what this is. I don't want the sizzling. Rise up with Dark Force, Dark Void, on the PC.

Lanyards. Bunch of Monster Hunter lanyards. This is one of the promotional, I believe, web-animase for Monster Hunter. No, it's the shit. That was only in the... Yeah! Final Fight Streetwise Workout Gloves. I have a new boxing training mitt.

Oh, there's like four pairs. We are going to wear these for the whole podcast. I will. Dude, every convention we go to, we have to wear the Streetwise gloves. Oh, they're tight, though. The whole convention. It's a uniform now. It's a Zibatsu uniform.

Streetwise gloves. This will complete my Streetwise outfit because I have a t-shirt. And the barrel. No, the barrel's from... That was something else. What else, Pat? What else do we got? I'm putting on the gloves.

We are all putting on our Final Fight Streetwise gloves. We're all way into these gloves. Yeah, I don't know if these can replace wraps, but they're pretty solid. These are good. I bet I could punch somebody real good with these things. It doesn't actually do anything. These are the winners in these box. They're super cool.

I feel like I've got potential. There is a monster hunter figure. There is a Diabolos that has not survived transit. That must be the other piece. That's one of the prize figures from Japan, yeah. But it looks like they all snap together to me, so... I feel like AJ Styles. Yeah, they just need to be blue.

Oh, it's not a Diabolos. It's a Duranboros. Perfect. Sure. Keep going through it. It's even bigger. Don't give up. Roll on, Pat. Roll on. Pat's just staring at this monster.

Move that piece. Oh, Duranboros is dead. Holy shit. We have Resident Evil 5 snow globe. Let me see that. It's a sand globe. Let me see that one. It's a sand globe.

That's neat. Now, how does her face look? I don't know yet. She's stuck in the sandstone. You can look at their faces. That's really neat. We have a 2008 Street Fighter IV commemorative coin. Oh, no.

Who's on it? Ryu? It's Ryu. It's of that terrible bullshit. Of the bad art. Oh, look at their faces. Look at their faces in the snow globe. Sand globe.

Oh, he looks great. They look exactly like they do. Oh, he's getting the big stuff. Yeah. A straight-up arcade stick. I guess what's on it. You'll never guess. Oh, jeez.

That's impossible. Saun-saun. Saun-saun. Te. Fight stick. Is that Te2? Te1. I thought that was a tactical battle vest for a second, but it's a Mega Man bag.

Fight stick pro with Saun-saun on it. Let me see that stick. This is a Mega Man 9 bag. Wow. I'm sorry. I hit the mic. Oh, of course. In what?

This Saun-saun stick. The Mega Man bag? Yeah. Oh, it's cool. Okay. Well, no, I mean, like, because I have all enough bags. Yeah? Okay.

This Saun-saun stick is when they were doing the Capcom Arcade cabinet releases on PSN. And I have. And I have. And I have. And I have. Just like Zangief's head. Wow. That's from that super expensive rare statue.

And it's just the head. But it's just the head. It's just the head. So it's even more expensive and rare. I wonder if other people got the parts. Here you guys go. You can put all the stuff back in the box. Yeah.

Why don't we do that later though? Yeah. Andrew, you're a pro. Box is plastic. Oh, so much true. Capcom low-package. And thank you, Capcom, for letting Andrew steal all this stuff. Absolutely.

And sorry about the lack of visual component if that's annoying you, but at the preview video we'll, like, try it. There'll be some stuff. We'll do it all in one. So, yeah. Simple unboxing. We got an unexpected mail bag going on right now. The micro mail bag.

Micro bag. Awesome. Well, remember, if you have a thing to send to super best friend, don't send it. We're good. Thank you. Don't. Oh, this is awesome. Okay.

I do have to take off one of my gloves to work the mouse, however. Nah. No, you don't. I'll wear that glove. Just use both of your hands. All right. All right. You're right.

You're right. Fair enough. Okay. Well. Didn't you work on Harvey Birdman? I totally did. Yeah, I was going to say. I totally did.

Small world. Yep. Potentially good. That's right. I literally made that joke. I did not hear it. I apologize. It got sandbagged, but it's okay.

All right. Now that we're like 20 minutes on the podcast, I guess we can start the podcast. We should start the podcast. Now's a good time to start. Yeah. What's an esoteric fact about? We already did that. We already did it.

I, Harvey Birdman was the game that forced high voltage to change their logo from the cool. That was it. Yeah. Yeah. You mentioned that one time. Yep. Yep.

Yep. Was that ever public? The old high voltage logo? Never was. It was a little warning sign. It's like one of Willie's favorite logos I never saw the light of day. It was cute. It was cute.

Anyway, well, yeah, that was a net, oh, Jesus Christ. Don't shine flashlights. Stomp it with the X-Files flashlight. Don't X-Files flashlight me. If Willie says something you don't like, you can flash it, but don't flash it like when he doesn't. Experingly. You don't like that I said that?

Use it like the newspaper. Okay. Yeah, exactly. Well, what am I supposed to do now? Cry. Where do you want the podcast? Ignore and push on, Willie. You tell me where you want the podcast.

Ignore and push on. Okay, whatever. Push on. Let's push on to our weeks and let us all start with the Royal Rumble. Hey. Fuck. Royal Rumble. Hey.

No, I really wanted to go. Unfortunately, it was the best of the three that we've seen. In the recent past. Yeah, in the recent past. Jesus. I really tried, but there was no theaters where I was in the States this weekend. There was no theaters nearby that had it. But it was the best due to hatred and not due to positivity.

I still wanted to see it though. Yeah. And like the opening matches were all okay. They were pretty good. I think Kevin Owens versus Dean Ambrose was the best of the bunch. Yeah, that's right. The most exciting thing was fucking AJ Styles. Oh God, because that, okay.

So when the Rumble actually started, they did this weird thing where a lot of the time, I'd say about 50% of the time, they wouldn't show you who was coming out. They'd show another like angle and you'd hear the music or you'd see a person's face. And when Roman Reigns is in the ring, he's like, who the fuck's going to be my next dude? And you hear this weird jazzy theme. And you're like, who is this? Like who is this?

And when it says AJ Styles, like I freaked out. We all freaked out. Of course. Now you should explain why it's worth freaking out that AJ Styles. Because AJ Styles is like, well, was previously a member of the Bullet Club in New Japan and it's been rumored for a while that he got signed. I think it was actually confirmed by a couple sources the previous night. And then we saw some underground videos with Kenny Omega hanging out with Xavier Woods.

We heard some stuff. We heard some stuff. So we know that they're stateside and there's rumors rumbling and here's the first official piece of information. Yeah. AJ Styles walks the fuck out. And he fucking, they, I can't wait for him to get buried over the next couple of months. So buried.

But what does this mean? Can anybody follow? No. Is this like a migration? No. What's going to happen? Well, like, I think we talked about it. So was it just AJ?

In the rumble? Yeah. Of the big, like holy shits, that was like the one, it was sadly, Mr. Steiner did not show up. I was really disappointed. Slightly rumored. But what sucks, I think the worst part of the rumble, I'm not going to like, you know, say who won.

You can look it up or whatever. But the most egregious part of it, where I think we're all pretty disappointed is that I guess who fucking stole a big chunk of the show the new day, obviously. Yeah. And they had this great bit where guess Liam, guess who had a funny moment where they don't touch the bottom of the mat and gets eliminated? Of course. Kofi.

Kofi. Yeah. So, well, that's one thing is like Kofi is the star of every rumble recently. Kofi is like super acrobatic. He has the amazing, like don't touch the ground bit, right? The new day is the best in terms of just bringing side gimmicks. So when you bring these two great tastes together, you get a fantastic bit. Yeah.

And then is there a butt coming or is that good? And I called. He called. Yeah, he really called it. I super called it. He called it 100%. There's a huge butt. And the huge butt is that they were so focused on making Roman look very strong that they

kept cutting away like Roman at one point gets pulled out of the ring to get beat down by some dudes. Right. Yeah. And they cut away from the rumble and just show that for multiple minutes. And minutes. Yeah. And then Roman like leaves the arena and the stretcher kind of deal.

And they cut to that over and over. And you turn back to the rumble and people are gone. People are eliminated straight up. So guess who got eliminated today? We weren't allowed. Kofi camera. Kofi Kingston was was chilling outside the ring and like like 10 minutes later, the last time we saw him, he was drinking Pepsi.

Yeah. He was he was sitting on top of Big E's shoulder. Oh, so he's not eliminated. Yeah. No. He got tossed over and he landed on Big E's shoulders and then about 10 minutes muscle docking. That's such an easy spot to fuck up when when Willie and I are going, wait, where should

they be there? Like we see an instant replay of them getting drop kicked and falling down that happened while during that. Yeah. Well, they get they get an instant replay as opposed to the other guy, the charity worker guy, the big black guy. Yeah. He got eliminated off camera as well.

Secret elimination. And it's like, what the hell? Jesus. It's the fucking royal rumble. The whole the whole fucking match. You imagine people go over the top, AJ Styles runs in, camera cuts away, cuts back, AJ Styles on the ground out of the ring and you're like, yeah, it was particularly fun to watch that with the Montreal group because there was a nice big Montreal moment.

Yeah. Kevin Owens. Sammy Zane. Sammy Zane came running out and they actually like the Battle of the Quebecois happens. The Battle of the Poutines. And yeah, but they don't like as the ending could have been like different and better, but what they did was at least as I'll take it as I like it as tired as that ending was. And boy, it was actually somewhat refreshing.

It sure looks tired. Yeah. Yeah. Um, like, woolly had a hashtag going like that night that was anyone but Roman. Yeah. And wait, Liam might not even know the, the change to the stipulations. So they changed the rules, which I believe totally fucks the rumble up. And when we watched that, that seems like a hard thing.

I fucked up. I felt very, I felt very justified in thinking that that totally was what's the rule change. Roman Reigns enters at number one cause he's the chance and it's actually a title match. So you don't win a shot. You don't win a shot at WrestleMania with the belt itself by winning the rumble. That's that. No, that's, but like that seems busted. So usually the champion never enters the rumble because why would they champion but

got to push Roman. So the entire thing is like a 15 minute empire, a 15 minute video package of the one versus the many. And it's like a Marvel statue of Roman Reigns with like the 29 other people behind him going to be terrible. That makes me feel just violently. I loved those like 10 to 15 where he was nowhere in sight and we're just like, how, look how strong he is.

I think it was like 20 minutes. Look at the champ taking a break. Yeah. So strong. Yeah. So the bid is like, oh, Vince's guys attack him outside the ring so that like, oh, he'll he'll lose for sure now and he's so injured and he's not a stretcher. But the problem is you're just cheering on Vince's guy, but then, but then he just leaves

for like 20 minutes before coming back. Yeah. It seems like they're trying to do and they're like, that seems like they actually broke their own rules for a plot that they wanted to push or something. You know what? You know what works really well? Austin versus the McMahon corporation. Oh, yeah.

Hate it. The McMahon corporation. We should do that again. Wait, people love the McMahon corporation. Yeah. Because their cartoon evil villains. Yeah. No one.

Yeah. Total bummer. Yeah. And going back to the other matches real quick. Like Roman Reigns is the villain of like a modern military movie. Yeah. Basically. You know, like who fucking gives a shit?

He could, he could have been solo. He could have been the off-brand non-dolphin. Do a Let's Watch a Solo immediately only. In like a, in like a, I don't know about it. Well stream it. In like a universal soldier spin-off. Yeah. Yeah.

But more generic. He started just the soldier. No, I'll say this. No, that's a good movie. You're right. Actually. An utter fairweather fan. Yeah.

When it comes to this stuff. Every time I tune in and the Wyatt family shows up, they're just better and better. They're good. And the gimmick is stronger and stronger. And yeah. And they're used worse and worse every time. Yeah. Yeah.

They added a new Wyatt and it's just Bray Wyatt, Biddy Aida Mario Super Mushroom. Oh yeah? He's just a bigger, he's almost, he's almost as big as Big Show. Any relation? He's. He's kind of weirdo. They just assigned a weirdo. You see him standing like toe-to-toe with Big Show and toe-to-toe with Brock and Kane.

Wow. And it's like, his mother fucker is. Huge. Unbelievable. He is the second largest guy on the roster and unlike Big Show, he's maybe two inches shorter than Big Show, but unlike Big Show, who's just big, he's actually like got huge arms. Okay, yeah.

He is probably like the actually biggest guy on the roster. Okay. So then they, so they do their intros and now that there's four of them, they're all horsemen of the apocalypse. Right. Okay. Bray is death. It's like, oh, it's so good.

It's good. It is good. What I was, because what I was saying while we were watching is like, that is how you update the Undertaker gimmick, right? Back in the day, the Undertaker was the creepy dead man. Yeah. Nowadays, it doesn't, it's not scary anymore. He's still that, but it's.

There's no super powers per se. It's only cool because he's still around. Yeah. And the biker thing is cool, but it's not really like scary or creepy. Yeah. Right? Like it used to be with the eyes and stuff. Like these fucking villains from Two Deceptive, completely weirdos, like the Yellow King.

Yeah. That is amazing. You love it when Bray Wyatt does the upside down thing. Oh, it's so good. Yeah. Yeah. You go down. He's the guy on the left, Liam, who's bigger than all of the other huge.

He's gigantic. Right? Hell, yeah. Man, I love those guys. What an awesome dude. And they exist to job. That's what I like. It's a bummer.

Every time I see them, they put in work, man. That's all I got to say. That gimmick with the cheating was like such a let down that they didn't go all the way with it. The other real funny thing. Like they should have let them get away with cheating. Well, you can cheat. I'll see it when I see it.

There's stuff. You can cheat like crazy during the Royal Rumble. Of course. There's no rules. Yeah. You can bring a gun to the ring. That's why I'm wondering about this gimmick you're on the ring. I was going to say that in the...

Like I put the bullets up when you have to get the ladder to reach the bullets and then load the gun. I was not cheating. Going back to the previous matches, New Day had their own tag team match, which went well and was fun, except they're against the Usos who are not really that fun. They're all right. I like their Haka. Not against New Day.

No, exactly. They're like, you know, like less than nothing. No, New Day are really up for it. But they showed us what happened on the previous broadcast, which is their French horn, Francesca, Trombone, got destroyed by Chris Jericho, so Xavier Woods picks up the broken pieces, the camera zooms into his face super hard, and he screams, why? We died. That's great.

And then they, when during their match, they brought out Francesca 2.0 and their matches. One of my two Sonos live, like more or less live blogging, the rumble was as soon as the match concludes, Big E cancels his move and straight into a victory animation, and he just goes right into the dance and we all start cracking up. He did the thing that ended the match, and then it's just like he was holding the stick. But he instantly danced it. He was holding the stick, and as soon as the animation stopped, he went right into a dance. Damn.

It was fun. That was the Divas match. The Divas match is like really sloppy. It wasn't really great, but fucking I am a huge Sasha Banks fan now, and I don't know if any of you guys would have time to watch it, but in NXT matches, Sasha Banks versus Bailey is in nomination for match of the year from a lot of websites and stuff, and I watched it. It's an incredible match, really not sloppy at all or whatever, but Sasha Banks comes

in, she's like super money, like woman, right? You know what her move is called? No. Liam, the bank statement. It's so good. I love it. That's like the page turner in the same exact way. I know, but I love it.

Of course, since his daughter was there, Conra himself came out in his tight black suit, like keeping it all in, and at some point, he steals a kiss, which we're pretty sure stole years. Stole years from Becky Lynch. Becky's life. Loosen the bandages a little. Yeah, exactly. Just let your soul.

You're lying. I'm gonna eat. Yes. He is so old and melted, I love it. It's not great. Like every time he does a woo, it's the sound of the soul he's trapped. Yeah, it's screaming. It's like he just happens to open up his mouth, and he's not concentrating.

The soul NATO inside is the what causes the woo. Woo. Yeah. Yeah. And every time he held up his daughter's hand, we're just like, oh, the soul transfer, it's gonna happen this time. Yeah. We're never gonna do the soul transfer.

No. They were close, though, because when Rich Flair went to celebrate her daughter's match, I was like, he's gonna do his transfer of soul into his daughter's body. I still think that Brock Lesnar Undertaker match was the... He's gotta do it now. That was the match for the soul transfer to happen. That's why I think our own Zybatsu wrestling pay-per-view we did was stronger than most of the booking in WWE.

Yeah. It turns out to transfer your soul, and Undertaker needs to kick you in the ball for it. Sure. Sure. But then you get Taker in Brock's body. Because your defenses are weakens. Yeah. But overall, it was enjoyable, but there's still parts where I was like, eh.

It was a good product. They did good business. Good. They did okay business. I'm sure that they will backslide into shit product on Raw. Oh, no, no. In Fastlane. In Fastlane.

Yeah. Fastlane. Depending on bullet club invasion is exciting. Yeah. I hope so. I hope so. They don't own the name though. Yeah.

They'll create the sword gang. Just call them ammunition gang. The NRA. Well, what were they called when they had Finn Balor as well? It was also called the bullet club. Okay. Because I thought Balor's name was in the name before. Oh, no.

Because people have Balor club shirts name. Oh, okay. As a new thing. My mistake. My mistake. Because they can't call it. Of course. I just bought a Styles Club shirt as well.

Can't. So yeah. It was a fun time. But yeah. Could have been better. Yeah. Oh, also Booker teammate and appearance. And we were just.

He's rocking that cool scarf. Yeah. We were just waiting to hear name drops. Yeah. You know, these fighters clashing together almost like the show gun used to do back in the day. Who's the show gun Booker? I'm not.

You know. I'm not. I can't let you know yet. You're not ready. Mark Henry reminds me of Marcellus Wallace from Pulp Fiction. Who? You know that character. The big black man that is in the ring today.

It's pretty good. And then there's like a 40 second pause and he just goes show gun. The rope. Anyways, let's get into our individual real weeks. So Liam, what were you up to while we were doing that? I was at my girlfriend's cottage in the States. In America town. In America town up in northern New York state.

And that was nice. And we just went and hung out there. We were so confused when we got a call from you and we're like, Sarah, something lake? I don't know. Who's this? Yeah. Upstate New York? Yeah.

Is it as bad as they say? It's out in the woods. It's like out on a lake. Okay. It's not a town or anything. Okay. Fair enough. We drove through this town that's a prison town called Danimora and apparently there

were two inmates there who escaped by having sex with a guard and tricking her into letting them escape. Yeah. I wrote that. So. Is that a plot of prison break? No. Maybe.

But that shit happens for real. How does that happen? Well, you know, they were probably pretty hot. Oh, wait. Are you talking about the super huge big story that like went down the other day? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I thought you were talking about something from the 1790s. No. No. No. That was like a few months ago. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I heard about that. I did hear about that. No, it was not a few months ago, but it was like recent. A little while ago. Yeah. That sounds like like considering where you were, that kind of sounds like the setup to an until dawn sequel. Yeah.

And then there was a manhunt for them. Yeah. And a whole big to do. Exactly. Yeah. But I had a chance to play some video games besides that. What? I know.

It's crazy. It's like the whole week. Was it just consumed on driving? What? I finished volume. That game is really good. The plot wraps up in an all right way. You don't get to the end and go, oh, it's amazing or anything.

The plot wraps up all right. The medium is the message to the. The game is just super solid in the middle. All right. You know, a solid eight kind of game, you know. Solid eight. Solid eight kind of game. The gameplay and the level design is really, really strong.

The story lets it down. The voice acting is really good. Is the final stretch like use a million abilities and get around these super hard stealth puzzles? Not even. It's just really good levels, but it doesn't feel like it's building up at the end. When I got, when I finished the last level, I felt like that could have been any of the 10 last levels. I see.

You know what I mean? So weaker than Thomas was alone. Well, it's a better game than Thomas was alone, but Thomas has a better build up in regards to its gameplay. This game has a much weaker build up to the finale, but the gameplay is better. So it's painted out of two. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it's painted out of two. Voice acting is really good. Phantom Pain. Yeah. Exactly. Voice acting is really good. There's a guest voice actor who appears in one level where I was just like, oh, shit. He's perfect for that role.

And I don't know if you guys are going to play it. So I'll let, oh. Do you see a Brit? Oh, absolutely. Is it Hitler? No, it's not. He's not a Brit. Oh, anyway, if you guys are going to play it, I'll let you get to that, but otherwise

I'll spoil it. I am not a Brit. Was it Maggie Thatcher? No. Do you want me to just spoil it? No, you tell me later. Yeah, I don't care. I don't care.

It's a good one. Okay. Well, yeah, but other people. Exactly. I'll tell you guys. Mouth it to me. Oh, shit. That's a good one.

It's a good one. Can you mouth it to me? I'll tell you about it. That's all right. You'll have to tell me later. Okay. I played a bit of a boy and his blob because the HD remake came out. That is a raw.

Sergeant's water? No. An HD remake is really, it's barely one. It's generous to call it an HD remake because like all the videos still run at 480p. And it doesn't even look all that great. Oh, no. Yeah, and you just have a bit. You just have huge black borders on your TV.

They didn't re-render. No, they didn't re-render. High for FMVs. Remember the hype intro, right? It's actually at proper full resolution. I think the word generous is generous. Remember that hype animated intro boy in his blob head? It was anime-esque.

It's neat. You like jumps on the blob and it shoots through the air. So now it looks really bad. No, it looks fine. It's fine. It's just, it takes up a very small chunk of your screen and the rest is occupied with black. Like I played it on my PS4 and like it barely looks any, like Muramasa looks amazing on

the Vita. And this is on the PS4. I was, I was going to say, I actually did pop on the Vita version, the PS4 version just a little bit just to check it out and like not just because I'm a crazy fanboy but the Vita version looks better because it's not stretched as much. But like it's a good port on every platform. I haven't had any issues with that. Yeah, but it's still a really good core game.

Yeah, no, but like, yeah, I was kind of hoping for, I don't know, a little gameplay. New stuff. Nothing major. There's a couple tweaks. Like I wish you could use the right stick to pick jelly beans without having to open the menu every time. Yeah, yeah, stuff like that. Just a couple little things that could have been better, but it's really good.

Nothing wrong with it. Are we going to get Ivy the Kiwi definitive edition? God, God, that's my prop. I don't fucking know. Probably not. I always think of those games together. Yeah, for some, just because. Yeah, we 2D platforming.

So put that in with Lost in Shadow. Lost in Shadow is right there. That's the other one. Yeah. God, fucking Hudson. Yeah. There's also the Deadly Tower of Monsters, which is by Ace Team, who made Xenoclash and Xenoclash 2.

Right, right, right. It's published by Atlas. So is it fucking weird? Yeah, absolutely. Good. So it's like a, it's like a B movie is the, the motif, a B like monster movie from like mid, mid late 1900s. And the whole movie has the, well, the premise of the game is that you're like watching the

DVD remastering of it. And it's got a director's commentary that goes over the whole thing. And the, the character of the director of the movie is narrating everything you do as you go through the game. And it's really good. And the director's really good. And he's sitting there with the, the audio technician and they're, they're chatting it up about the movie.

Jesus Christ. That's so inside. It's really good. And there's bits where like, if you stand still and you spin around in a circle, the director will go, ah, Dick always loved spinning around in a circle. I always just let him do it on set. It was so funny. Or like, or like, uh, you can switch characters, there's three different characters in this

game. When you get to these conveyor belts, you run on the conveyor belts with Dick and, uh, the director says how, uh, we never told Dick, but we just slowed them down for the girl's scenes. I loved watching him try to run across those conveyor belts and it's actually telling you switch to the girl because then you can run across the conveyor belts, you know? What a weird premise. Well, react, a reactive narrative is, is really cool.

Yeah. It's very, very neat. Super giant. Yeah. And basically you're on this little tiny island, this little sci-fi island with red dirt and you know, you know the type, right? Yeah. Um, and monkeys inhabit it and they all talk and stuff.

But the main thing is climbing this tower, the Tower of Deadly Monsters. And as you climb the tower, uh, this game shows off its incredible, incredible draw distance. One of the main mechanics of the game is you can approach a ledge and you can press a button to aim down and you see all the way to the ground. What is this? Like a third person shooter? Third person platformer.

Action platformer. Yeah. That's cool. Uh, and, and you're constantly shooting down the tower at monsters that are coming up to get you. It's a deadly tower. Deadly tower of monsters. And there's monsters.

And there's monsters. It all comes together, doesn't it? Yeah. There's monsters at it. Yeah, exactly. Um, and they've got a lot of cool mechanics. It's a tower. It's a tower.

They'll, they'll put stuff off the side. It's dangerous. Yeah. Very. They'll put stuff off the side of the tower, like little rings that you're supposed to jump for. Yeah. And you'll jump for them and then there's a, there's a move in the game that you can

press L one and you'll warp back to the last spot you were on the tower. So you jump off, you do stuff in the air while you're fall. This tower is gigantic. You do stuff in the air while you're falling and you just warp right back up. Intentionally kill and sort of not killed, but reset. And you can always teleport back up to checkpoints wherever you are because they know if you had to climb up the tower, it'd be tedious as fuck. And it's 3D.

Yeah, absolutely. No, it's by ACE team, you know, so they're, they're, they're people. The games are weird and 3D. It's, it's really neat. Uh, I got, I'm up, I'm at the last boss. I fought him once and I was like, okay, I need to go to bed. How long did it take you? Uh, it took me four hours to get to him.

So it's not hugely long, but it's, it's, it's really like solid. Same, same, same as Zeno class. Yeah. It's 10 bucks right now, but, uh, as of tomorrow, it will have been a week that it's out and it's going back up to the normal price of 15. Okay. So it's too late. No.

Well, not for us. Yeah. For you, maybe, maybe, depending on Willy's speed, probably too late. For you at home. It's possibly too late. If the PlayStation Store updated, it's too late. It's all, that it's not too late at all. When you say tomorrow, you mean today, Tuesday?

Tuesday. Yes. Tuesday, January, whatever. We are the tomorrow children. Yeah. 26th. And, uh, the last thing I did, uh, Matt knows a little bit about this. Oh, before you tell us, we should take a word from our sponsors.

Let's open up this loot crate. Oh, what do we got? What do we got? What's in the box? What's in the box? So far, I only see a box. Now this is Gaelic Invasion. Invasion.

Invasion. Right. Okay. So, uh, yeah, the little, like, almost like Mars attack style, like, print of, like, spaceships invading. Oh, Space Invaders style. Okay. I see what's going on.

It's suitable for invading. It's a Space Invaders cabinet type thing. I see it. Very cool. All right. We got a T-shirt. What is that? It is an abduction of sorts that's happening.

I really like the color. Yes. Or maybe an invasion. Check it out. Check it out. Ooh. Some people are being abducted. Oh, it's a nice shirt.

Oh, it's like a, it's like a green, like a, like a nice green version of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It's aliens and tractor beams and it's rad. Totally glows in the dark. Oh, I was thinking you were just like getting super deep into it to smell it. No, he was hiding in it to make sure it glows in the dark. Glows in the dark. Just like aliens.

Scare your kids. Yeah. Kids are easily scared. That's because it's an X-file shirt. It's molder and scully silhouettes running from the aliens. Ah, of course. Super cool. They took his sister.

I don't know if I believe that. I won't watch those episodes because they're boring. It's true. I want to watch Mulder punch a chupacabra in the face. That's correct. What's the next thing we got? A mini alien vinyl figure. What kind of alien?

What flavor? It's a space invader. Oh, a space invader. Okay, yeah. It's a little, a little cute space invader. I like that. I like that. I like that.

Check him out. Check him out. He's the orange one. I wonder if they have names. He's the strongest of space invaders. Is it like, is it like Pac-Man? I bet no. I bet no.

I don't think they do. Well, they probably have names on their own world. Pinkies. Yeah. Like orange and blue. I just want slo- Invader Chan. Yeah.

Oh, Invader Chan. Okay. I'll let him invade me. We got an X-Files LED flashlight. Ooh. Dun-nun-nun-nun-nun-nun-nun. Can I go? Dun-nun-nun-nun-nun-nun-nun.

I always need more flashlights. I hope it'll help me illuminate that stupid blue screaming face. Hey, Wally. Give me a big knife. Here's your knife. Will this flashlight be illuminating your home? Don't open it. Oh.

I mean, invade it. I always open it. Yeah. And while you open that, I'm going to- Oh, God. Pat's going to cut himself off this way. Oh, yeah. While you do that, I'm going to open up this-

Oh, my God. That looks super cute. It's a kid robot plushie. But it's a facehugger. But it's a facehugger. But the facehugger- They're showing me how cute it is. It's the cutest little facehugger.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's so adorable. For some reason, this facehugger, instead of having a big ugly mouth, has a little cute smiley face. Pat. Pat.

That's hug face Chan. You should get rid of the one on Baby Ashley and replace it with this one. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Thanks, man. That's more appropriate. That's more a baby's face.

Or I can just stack them on top of each other. What else we got? We got some batteries for, I suppose- What are the batteries going to? I probably- Oh, for the flashlight, of course. I bet those batteries are for the flashlight. You know what?

Always drove me crazy as a kid when you get a toy and no batteries. Yeah. Yeah. You know who would drove crazy more than you? Your dad. Your dad? Yeah.

We've got an FHL Olston, for Paradise Special Flight Multi-Pass. Let me see this. Multi-Pass. Oh, my God, it's- Multi-Pass. It's almost like the Avengers key card we got. This is a prop from a specific show

that I'm not familiar with. Same here. Oh, it's just Fifth Element. Of course. Multi-Pass. I called this a few- Some multi-pass. I was like,

would it be cool if they put in the multi-pass from Fifth Element? Damn, I forget that. That's pretty neat. Yeah, I've never watched it. I can't figure out how to turn on this flashlight. Did you watch Fifth Element? No, but I recognize your face.

You and your girlfriend should watch it. You like it. Okay. Maybe I will, actually. It is great. I'm an idiot. Chris Tucker is prime. It's weird, though.

Yeah, that is Chris Tucker's prime, for real. It's good. I'd like to see that. We've got an elastic of some kind. Was that holding something? No, it was just kind of loose inside. That elastic is out of this world. This elastic was shot really far into space.

Pass me that elastic. I'm going to find a use for it. Now it's invading us. Watch it's a prop from something, you know. Was there any elastics in ET? Just wrap it around your dick. Yeah. Wrap it around your dick enough time.

They wrapped ET in a giant elastic and shot him back into space so he can continue his weird campaign of war. I can't really express how big this elastic is. It's gigantic. Will it hold my hair? It could. It would hold your hair no problem. Holy shit.

That's classy what you've got in your hands there. War of the Worlds and the day the earth stood still prince. Oh, maybe this was holding them vertically. Possibly. Possibly. Those are actually decent, nice. Yeah. And of course we have our invasion pin, which is actually, ooh, it's a different style this

month. It's, I don't know what the name of it is, but you know the kind that has like this backing? Yeah. I know the type. It's a different type of pin. Yeah. I don't know what to call it. No, exactly.

Just scribble the word dorm on it. That's the type of stuff you can get in your loot crate and if you want a box like this sent to your door, you just need to head on down to lootcrate.com slash super. Yeah. Enter the promo code. Enter and save. $3 or more? On your new subscription.

Yeah. Good job, Matt. Good job. There you go. Yeah. We don't know what next month's theme will be, but we do know that if you want to get in on it, you need to sign up at 9 p.m. before 9 p.m. on the 19th of every month and you'll get that month's crate.

This invasion crate is gone. Oh, flashlight works. Wow. That's really bright. That's bright. Is that a black light? Wow. There you go.

No, that flashlight, it's good because it's for Skully to point out how that can't be real. It's so bright. I'll shoot this elastic at you. It's giant. You'll only be able to see it. It'll go through your body this elastic. Yeah.

Between that elastic and that flashlight, we are ready for all space invaders. Yeah. I bet I can stare up something. What? Hey. Flashlight. Thank you. Thanks, loot crate.

Thanks, loot crate. This has been a fun moment. And we've got the return of a sponsor. Return. Who is it? Who's it going to be? It's Casper. Casper Mattress.

The friendly mattress company. Who want you all to know they're obsessively engineering American made mattresses at a shockingly very fair price. And now you can get 50 bucks towards any mattress. No, only it says sing melodically at that part too. It says it all. Bye bye. Going to Casper.com slash super best and using the code super best.

Listen, you spend about a third of your life sleep. This doesn't work. It's too many words. It doesn't work. You spend about a third of your life being asleep or if you're an asshole like me and woolly, maybe a one eighth. Yeah. Either way, let's make sure you're doing it the best you can.

Absolutely. Don't spend it. Don't spend it sleeping on shit. Yeah. That's not comfy. You sleep on seashells. It gets inside all the places and it's not off. It's not fun.

It's not fun. Also, a really bad bed is not a great place to sleep. No, no. You want to sleep on a good American made mattress. That's what's the quality that you deserve. That's the English I use. I deserve it. But here you go.

Here you go. Here's my testimonial. Yeah, you have one. Don't you? Because I'm literally sleeping on a Casper mattress. That's fucking great. It's legit awesome. Why are you saying testimonial like sneer quotes?

Because it's literal, because it's not one of those like, hey, I know a guy who did it. No, this isn't right next to me. If I'm remembering correctly, for the first time we had them on, they sent you a mattress. They did. Before we knew about the ad, they wanted it that bad. They wanted me to sleep on a Casper mattress. And you were like, who's mattress?

Oh, this is so good. He came in and were like, Willie, how come your bed is stacked seven mattresses high off the floor now? They do that because they're confident that you will enjoy the mattress. I stack my mattresses to the ceiling. That's my lifestyle. They can cold call you with a mattress and you will love it. And Casper is going to stack that cheddar to the ceiling because these mattresses are amazing.

But if you want to get in, you can get 50 bucks off any mattress purchase by heading over to Casper.com, so that's super best. And they've got a risk-free trial policy. So yeah, they straight up, they say if you don't like it, you can try it for 100 days. And if you don't want it, send it right back. They'll pick it back up. And they donate it, right? And they donate it, exactly.

And again, I will testify to that because the size I got was not accurate. But it was super comfy, but it wasn't big enough. So I was like, can I get a bigger size? And it was like, yeah, no problem. And they shipped out a bigger size and that was easy done. Isn't that always the best feeling when you encounter a customer service thing and you expect it to be horrible and then the answer coming back at you is, yeah, yeah, no, it's totally fine.

Yeah, it'll take two seconds. Hold on. Okay. It's exactly that new age of good customer service. So it's like, you know, people really enjoy not hating things. And when you treat them like good people, then they'll be happy. So yeah, here you got like, what are we looking at? Oh, you got 500 for a twin size mattress, 950 for king size.

That's pretty good compared to industry averages. King size is like crazy massive. Yeah. That's too big for me. This is the Californian king. Yeah. And that's wider. That's wider.

Yeah. But those are pretty decent prices compared to like what you got to a normal Bed Mart, Joe's Bed Mart, and you got to knock the fleas off of it and you pay twice that much. It's crazy. Yeah, that's about the right. Right. So you got those reasonable prices and then you get 50 bucks off that. If you go down to Casper.com slash Superbest.

That's the code. Superbest. Try it out. Have a good night's sleep. I recommend it. Maybe people should take to sleep on it. Yeah. You know what?

People will realize what a bad sleep they've got. All right. All right. So before... And then we'll have to get them at Casper mattress. All right. Starting tonight, you all are going to take turns sleeping on my Casper mattress. Hold on.

Fair. Well, it's like go home and sleep on it. And when you wake up in the morning, you go, oh, fuck. I needed a mattress. Yeah. You don't know what I've done on your mattress. So you guys all... You all sleep on my mattress and I'll watch you while you sleep.

Okay. And then you'll turn on the stream. No, through the door crack. And I'll see how comfortable you get. Perfect. Watch us through the door crack. I'll be very comfortable with this. Excellent.

Thank you, Casper. Thanks, Casper. What'd you do? The last thing I did, and Matt knows a little bit about this, it's a bit of an odd one. Don't tell me what I don't know. You know about it. Shut up, not us. I launched a social media campaign on Twitter, hashtag vote Vita.

VV. Hold up the two-piece sign. Yeah, exactly. And the premise is over the past six months, excuse me, I spoke to a lot of developers and publishers and various people, and I found some people who would be interested in... Maybe... You know, I can't speak to details, but they might be interested to see some numbers to see if it's worth releasing or localizing or what happened.

They need a little convincing. And so there's this big, great survey that I made. It's fantastic. Go check it out. I thought at first you found a survey. Then I realized you made the survey. And I took it or something? No, I made the survey and I made all the videos.

You made everything. I worked hard on those trailers. They look great. And anyway, basically I'm just gathering stats. So if you have a Vita, go check it out. Does this mean that you have a pocket Japanese translator? I translated that one myself. Yeah, he was asking for help.

Dude, it took me a long time. It was pretty fun. You're asking for like a couple of difficult... There was a character I was really stuck on and some people helped me out, but it was fun. Impressed. So I don't know. Go check it out if you have a Vita.

Don't go check it out, but you'll get kicked out. You will. Don't even try. Yeah, if you didn't know. You get kicked out. You get kicked out. Because why are you even... Yeah.

Why? But if you do do it, just make sure you answer honestly. Dishonest answers are useless, so. In fact, they're worse than useless. In fact, they're worse than useless. They actively work against it. Are you taking this seriously? Yes, of course I am.

Then you click yes for... Are you taking this? Yeah, exactly. With the end goal of helping to build the list? Yeah, a little bit. It works into that as well. So over the weekend, we got almost 6,000 votes, which is really great. The turnout was fantastic.

The Yakuza companion app, which is probably the worst name for it, because it makes people immediately go... I had to... I had to find a name for it. No, no, no, no, no. You know, that's what it's called when you translate or whatever, right? Yeah, exactly. That's what it's actually called.

But that thing is the thing that surprised me the most, where I was like, I am not interested in that. But then you looked at it. Wait, what? You just do fighting and the fun gambling, like minigame parts? That's cool. Yakuza Zero companion app, Freedom Planet, Gal Gun Vault, which is a mighty gun vault on Vita and PS4, and Adventures of Mana, which is Square Enix's remake of Final Fantasy

Adventures, aka Sword of Mana. Yeah. Why? So I suddenly all this noise about Metal Wolf Chaos, because they want it on Vita. Because they want it. Hey, I didn't push that aspect for there. I'd take Metal Wolf Chaos on anything, right? Yeah, absolutely.

But Michael Wilson is totally in 3D Dot Game Hero? Yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Holy shit. Yeah. As president. There's a ton of, like, sack boys in that game.

Yeah. There's tons, yeah. Yeah, but Michael Wilson, though. Yeah, I know. So, yeah, anyway, if you're interested, go check it out. Yeah. No, it's good stuff. Cool, cool, cool.

Thanks for your participation. Participate. Yeah. I'll leave it to you, Pat. Hey, well, like, straight up, do you have any Red Bulls in your fridge? No, because I'd need one, too. I don't know why, but there's something about the temperature of this room that is like, I was gonna-

Making me fall asleep. You want me to open the window all the way? You can crack it a little bit more, yeah. I was gonna ask Matt on his way in to grab one or two, but I kind of forgot, okay. And I opened the window and bought my microphone. Well, worst case scenario, if we actually start nodding off, we'll just stop the podcast for 10 minutes and go get some. Hey, Liam, what are you doing?

Oh, you're opening up the- oh, okay. What'd I do this week? Okay, I did. I played a lot and I watched a lot and I have a lot to talk about, so I'm gonna try and skim it as best I can. All right. This is not me being rude. I'm just trying to clean up the, like, giant amount of stuff we have piling up around us

right now. Okay, yeah, no, it's fine. I'm listening. Oh, no, you're not. You liar. Anyway, so, well, great. My headphones are on. I can't not listen to you.

Now that Matt is the only one paying attention, it's time for me to talk about Dragon's Dogma. Oh, I'm not listening anymore. No, I beat the game. I'm in the post game. That was quick. I really am crushing it. You beat it on PS3, too, right? Yeah, no, 360.

Oh, sorry. Yeah, 360, whichever. And I'm currently my pawn, Fuggins. Fuggins. Fuggins. Yeah, a friend of mine came up with that name. He's like in the top... Is your pawn in the top percentage?

He is. Should have been Dildo Baggins. I know. I saw you two years ago. He's in the top 0.3% now, actually. You can't hide anything from Twitter. Not if you put it there. Fuggins is great.

I love Fuggins. He's super. But I finally got to the expansion content, which I never played in the original. And man, that is like a bunch of people from Capcom play Dark Souls. It's the most Dark Souls shit in the world. But in the Dragon's Dog Mansion. But it's not Dark Souls. Yeah.

Now, in terms of gameplay, enemy placement, or like, like, theme... Level structure. Okay. Like, you actually open up shortcuts that loop back to the beginning of the area. Okay. Which is not in the original game, you're just saying. Well, Dragon's Dogma is like 95% of your time you're wandering the open world and like the countryside.

And there are only three, even what you would call a dungeon, right? And they're quite small. And then there's a post game dungeon that's a bunch of rooms that are all repeated. And then you get to the expansion and it's mostly all unique rooms with new enemies. And it's a... Like legitimate huge new content. It feels like... How do I put this?

It feels like a Japanese character action version of the Temple of Elemental Evil, right? To the point where you even fight a gazer, which is the version of the beholder that Capcom made for Shadows Over Mistara. Oh, wow. It's really, really good. You get to that expansion stuff and that shit is made for broken characters. Yeah, it used to be like level 70 plus to even... Well, no.

You have to be level 40. The Capcom recommended level 45. That's bullshit. But your statistical power doesn't matter as much as it does in the rest of the game. Because the enemies are so strong that all it means is that you'll be killing them 30% faster. I see. So you do right the fuck now.

So the answer is just don't get hit. The answer is don't get hit. Learn how to stunlock them. Stuff like that. There's an ogre. There's a cyclops in there that is more than twice the size of a regular cyclops. And like there's a specific spot you can hang out in that he just, he tries to keep stomping you.

And you need to keep nailing him there. And you can hit his toenail. Right. And also bring in the right pawns. Yeah, bring in the right pawns. Fuggins. It's actually a lot like a Dark Souls thing. It's like get behind him and stab his feet.

I thought you were going to name your pawn baseball. I did name the pawn baseball. It should have been called Missle. For about 10 minutes. And then I was like, nah, I'm just going to steal my friend's like MMO name. Oh no. And then I designed it after that friend and he thought it was cool. But also having a good pawn name matters.

Yeah, of course. Because if your pawn name is goofy, people will see it and go, oh man, I'm going to hire that guy. Yeah. Especially since like I last I checked it was like rank 600. Yeah. If your name is like 200,000. If your pawn's name is like Dakar, you know, like or like some like random like some foreign

country. I really want to break I really want to break top 500. But I keep I keep running into this problem where so the the pawn system is is since there's so many even one good ranking will kick you up really high. And but if your pawn dies in a person's game, like, you know, there's a chaos state and you can pick them up. But they can also get kicked off cliffs and they can also get just straight up murdered by death or petrification or whatever.

And if that happens, you get a three star ranking out of five by default. That makes sense. But because my pawn is a high level, they're everyone's taking him into the expansion content where everything's super brutal. So I'm get like every time I'm about to hit rank 500, it's like, no, I died again. You got eaten by treasure chests. Oh, this is a bummer. That game's awesome.

That game's fucking mimics like fuck whoever came up with mimics like some guy back in some dead guy, Gary Gygax and like 78 or something like that. That sounds about right. What if the treasure chest fucking ate you? But that would be weird because then the player would not trust treasure chest. Yeah. So the weirdest thing. What if the upstairs downstairs icon in Dragon Warrior was an enemy?

Yeah, damn. So Dragon's Dog was sick. I played a bunch of indie games, but not that much of them. So just a little taster. I played Axiom Verge, Galaxie and you did and Invisible Ink. OK, Axiom Verge is a good game. Axiom Verge is Metroid. Yeah, exactly.

It's unabashed fucking Metroid. Now, I don't know any about it, which I don't really like. OK, but I want to. I want to like like you can you can see the idea. I gave it a shot a while ago and I'm trying to really want to like it because it's it's like this darker, filthier version of Metroid that really appeals to me. I just I need to get to.

Well, did you play Axiom Verge a lot? I did. I played it quite a lot. Not a lot because there's a Bionic Commando swinging arm and I know. Yeah, I'm I'm so aware of this game. Yeah, the only thing I didn't really like about it was like the ultra generic white Mac white man. Yeah, character.

He looks super boring, so boring. Yeah, like he's just a guy. He's he's just wearing shirt and pants and he's a dude. Yeah, I guess it's the the difference between his environment and him. But he's so boring. He's more boring than Nathan Drake. Yeah, like, yeah, like that's why I actively consider him a negative. Yeah, but Nathan Drake is in his world.

Yeah, like he, you know, you know, I mean, a galaxy. I can't think of any like non vanilla designs in indie games, though. It's like, sorry, what do you mean? In terms of like. Is that because the whole Nathan Drake issue, like is usually triple A things when you're like shaved head soldier man. And I feel like a lot of indie games really go out of their way to not have that to dodge it, to dodge that.

Of course, because everyone knows that that's like super generic. Yeah, so Trace is is therefore unique by indie game standard by indie game. This is what I'm trying to get at. It's like, I still don't think it makes him good, though. That's super weird. No, I'm not. No, no, no, I'm not saying that. But I am saying by nature of what indie games usually are by proxy then ends up being actually different.

So has has anybody but me played Galaxy in here. I played a little. I played it for like 30 seconds at a Pax. I played at their booth. Yeah, dude, it's the shit. Oh, yeah, it's pure. It's anime. It's it's asteroids with an anime story. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

But like, obviously, when you go by season and they hid the Mecca and everybody till the last second. What? Yeah, there's a Mecca. There was a Mecca in the game. I didn't get that far. No, it's not spoilers because we talked about it. Plus we actually did. I know, but I didn't get that far.

I've only been playing as a ship. They developed the game for so long and then I didn't make it right first season. OK, and like they really like there's the level based version, which like would be way easier. But for some reason, like they have that it's the way it's meant to be played. That season mode, especially when I restarted and realized that the season is different. Like those early missions, those will be those are gone now because you've done the tutorial.

But like, no, it's a proper roguelike. But in this like us, there will always be a slight bummer, though, because like playing the game on your own at home is not the same as their special cabinet that they have set up. It'll never be as good. That galaxy cabinet that they have is fantastic. Is amazing. Have you seen it? What is it?

You pause the screen and it is the best recreation ever of you pausing your VHS tape on your CRT. It is the best. Like there's there's I know that I have. There's a lot of good versions of those effects. But you think this is the best one. This is there's no question. This crushes everyone up.

I actually it doesn't look like it's a filter. It actually looks like your television is a CRT. That's great. Which is weird, because it's a white screen and all that shit. Yeah, I bet it's a stronger effect on a monitor. And or maybe it makes it like too busy. I am maybe I don't know. I also played not that much, just one or two missions of Invisible Inc.

Yeah, that game is for real, man. This is by Clay, right? This is by Clay. Yeah, it used to be called Incognita, I think. Which so if what if Mallory Archer was not a piece of shit? What if Mallory Archer was like a decent spy master? OK. And you're running missions with your spy team.

And it is a top. Actually, Mama Blue, like, no. But it looks just like OK, OK. I heard the character's name is Central, actually. But you it is a isometric grid based strategy game in which it's a roguelike in which instead of like coming into a dungeon, you're you're teleporting into a corporate facility with with the Decker and and you're fucking your hackers and all these people.

And you're moving around, you're peeking through doorways to see guards. Grid based, you're ambushing them when they come around corners. You're hacking databases. It's fucking cool, man. It's a little like a more involved metal gear acid without the cards. Yeah, and the art style is like clay, so it's amazing. Yeah, it's it's it's super cool. I really want to play more of it.

And the only other thing I bet, you know, I tried all these indie games in a row in like one afternoon and just didn't get that far in any of them. And then I just said, oh, fuck it. And woolly, this is going to frustrate you. But I was right all along. I knew I should have started from the beginning because Char is awesome.

Yes, Char. Like, I don't know. But but but it's just there are people. And I've said it before, but there are people where it's too old for them. It's better than AFMS. Sure. But some people can't handle it. OK, so what are you are you watching the the six hour movies? No, you're watching the episodes. Yes. OK. Well, you're in for a long ride.

Yep. Well, you know, you know me and longer. I have a problem with that. Good, good. Yo, man, it's a first of all, like it looks great. Like, I love it. I love the way it looks. A little 79. Here we go. I love the finally how old it looks and how some people look like they're just ripped out of street speed racer and the Gundams aren't all straight and angular. No, the Gundams look wonky.

Sometimes they look stupid like there's a bit where in like Episode Seven or something where like three Zaku's are landing and they just slide like all the way down the street. It's super shitty. We're drawing Mecha. Who needs rulers? Fuck that. Model all the way. But like I was really weirded out. Like, I really like Amarrow. I really like Char more than almost everyone in AFMS.

Interesting. Good. OK, that's great. I'm glad. The command. What was his name? The commanding officer in AFMS? God, I forget. I forget. But yes, like I remember like my biggest complaint was like, hey, fuckers, you're fighting a war here. I know one cares about your your mixtape. Nobody cares about like your love affair with the Xeon lady or whatever.

So don't endanger your team. And when Amarrow does the same thing like early on, I don't want to get in the Gundam. Why? Because I haven't slept in days because I'm fighting battles every day because I'm fucking tired. Like I can I can empathize with that way, way more than like the battle of my music or whatever. No, that's awesome. Like the fact that Amarrow and Char are like

they're like hero and villain, but they're not. No, Char's not a villain. Well, but whatever. Right. I can tell right away. Antagonist protagonist. Yes. But rock and hard place. But you don't get all this huge, tropey shit because these motherfuckers are inventing it in the 70s because it's super old. And there's there's a bunch of characters

that come afterwards that are post these characters are like still going back to tropes that Amarrow and Char don't have. There's a bunch of there's a bunch of little details that I'm madly in love with. And they they they they make the show a million times better. And I know a lot of people wouldn't care about this. But me and my friend were freaking out because the first 10 episodes, they're chasing the white base. Yeah. But Char doesn't call it the white base.

He calls it the Trojan horse because they don't know what it's fucking called. Right. Why would the enemy force know the name of the new ship? Right. They don't like shit like that. Look, little tiny stuff like Amarrow in the cockpit, like just in this is here and they're reading a manual. No, that's not an inconsistency. No, just in cartoons when the villain knows exactly what to call the enemy's units and stuff.

Yeah, it's like a mega megazord. But that's why I'm saying inconsistency because he shouldn't know. Like a writing, right, right, right, which in this case, they don't have. It's not an inconsistency. He's sorry that I clearly don't understand. OK, the ship, the new ship is called the white base. OK, but since it's a prototype and they don't know what it is, they nicknated, they call it the Trojan horse.

I'm sorry, pardon me. I thought you were saying there was an inconsistency in the writing. I know. And as the series goes on, like they still don't know what it is. So they keep calling it like no one briefs the enemy on what this new experimental ship is. And there's a bunch of little details that like I really wish somebody had told me before I started watching Gundam that like show up in this that like I feel so stupid that I never realized this.

I because of wing in a lot of respects, because the way that portrays space, I had a very distorted idea of where the colonies are in space. Did you think they were hanging out next to the moon? I thought they were hanging out as far away as Jupiter. OK, because why wouldn't I? OK. But then like in the intro to Gundam, they go, the the the colonies orbiting the earth.

And I go, oh, God, that changes everything. OK, OK. And that changes like the stuff I thought about 8th MS. But hold on a second. But you knew that there were colony crashings into the earth. Yeah. So it had to be. I thought they moved it all the way from wherever. If they can get them into space, they can move them around. That was one of those things that I always was like super confused about.

The threat of a colony crash needs to make sense based on where it is. Yeah, but like think about it this way. And I'm sure if you look back and wing, like I think I'm right. Like you every time you see a colony, it's like the shot of the colony with space behind it. Earth is never visible in shot. Yeah, when Earth should be visible, if they're all I don't I don't actually know. But I actually totally agree with Pat and like

and especially since all space fiction since then. Yeah, there's no reason to think that the colonies wouldn't be like also super far out. Why would you build a colony two feet from the earth? Yeah, I don't know. And the other that sounds stupid. Other misconception is that there's like, oh, there's like two colonies. It's like, no, there's sides. There's there's tons. The sides are collections of color. Yeah. And just because there was a part of an 8th MS,

I couldn't understand like how the fuck does Yon get ground troops on earth? How the fuck does that happen? Like how they held to space invaders that you're still fighting a war in orbit. But now, you know, get troops on the planet. Well, it's like if they're right fucking there, then OK, yeah, that makes sense. But yeah, I'm super excited to keep going like to get in there. And especially since mother fucker, I'm watching 79 again. Since since like this, I'm not back into Naruto.

I'm back. This is the oldest and like ghettoist of all the Gundams. Like I feel confident that I can do all of it. Do you? Well, if you're feeling it now, you will be fine for the rest of the entire life. I mean, I'm even getting a kick out of like, oh, they're using that shot again. Good. They're using that shot. Oh, boy, they love that shot of missiles hitting the white bases. Northern part saves a lot of money doing that.

Yeah. If the age doesn't bother you, then you're fucking. What is what is the who who? What? Zobbies have been introduced. Garm only. That's it. Yeah. OK. All right. Yeah. He's a dick. And the instant this is very early, guys, and the show's 30 years old. So it's not a big spoiler, but he gets in a fight with the Gundam. Spoiler. And Char like fucks up the radio so that he would die.

And the instant that that happens, you go, oh, that char, he's the best. He's the red comment, motherfucker. And they do a lot to humanize like now that I. So in 8th MS, they do a poor job compared to the original series. They humanize the both sides a lot. Like that you're the team that the show follows is the Earth Federation. Yeah. And they they do everything they can to villainize the the upper management of that with Fed.

And then they do everything they can to humanize the lower ranks of the Xeon ops. And like there's the bit where like the whole battle pops off because the guys go to check on the mother and kid, make sure they're OK and all that stuff. So that's why I'm trying. Whenever it's like space traders versus what I'm like, no, dude, the politics change a lot of what you think about. And that's sad that they have to die because they're on the wrong side. OK, so here's what I want you to do. All right.

Colonies were a mistake when you get a good ways in. And you know, I like and I want to say good ways and I don't mean to 79. I mean to Gundam. Yeah. To like you're going to you're going to hit the right point where that storyline reaches its natural conclusion, the Zabi storyline. No, or Char Char and Amaro. OK. Right. Then go back and listen to Richie Branson's Xeon. Yeah. And that song will have a whole new fucking meaning for you.

But yeah, Gundam is pretty good. Char's pretty cool. Like they keep calling his Zaku red. It's not. It's pink. It's red. It's red, though. It's red. It's right. The chest is red. Adjust your TV. Yeah, it's not perfect. It's super duper red. Like are you sure in the original like fucking red, man?

Because it looks fucking pink to me. Crimson, dude, it is a crimson red. Anyway, don't bother because your phone is also not calibrated. Gundam, Gundam, dude. So yeah, I'm watching with a friend of mine. So progress will be slower than it usually is for me. OK. But that fucking episode. What does he think so far?

He's he's crazy about it. Right now. But the the that fucking episode, not episode break, a pause break where there's that fucking sneeze noise where there's a drum build up to know it's like a lady screaming, shoot. Or it's like sneezing. It's so fucking stupid. Oh, man, that show is is is it should be awful.

Like it. There's only one thing that shouldn't. There's only no. I mean, it was great. There's only one thing that's like genuinely awful about the show. And that is those three little child characters. Oh, don't are drawn like don't freak. Don't worry about that. Yeah, yeah. That's that's that's the they're fucking weird looking. They don't look like humans.

They look like characters from Yatterman. Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry. Don't worry about those kids. They're fine. No, no, no. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. There's what we got. We can't sit on gun.

There's there's one more. I have to say that Frabao is the worst name ever. Frabao. It is awful, but you get used to it. Frabao. No, no, no. When said when said by Japanese people, Frabao, Frabao, Frabao. It's dude, it's as never. It's so bad.

It sounds like someone failing to say someone's name. Yeah, not an actual name. That's weird. That's pink, man. That's fucking pink. Look at that. It's red. The chest is red, but everything else is pink. It's crimson.

It's red. Your phone's not calibrated. It's red, dude. Oh, you guys are assholes. Super calibrate your eyeballs. Yeah. All right. Actually get good eyeballs. OK, I guess we're going counter.

Do you guys know what pink looks like? I guess we're going counter. It's like a light red. I think all three of us against one do do. Yeah, we'll just have to agree to disagree that. Yeah. This is what we'll do. I'm going to hold on to this.

Yes, this incredibly petty nothing. It may or may not become more red in the future. Yeah, that's what I thought. Anyway. Matt. Yeah, yes, counterclockwise. I forgot what that meant. I played a lot of Rise of the Tomb Raider and streamed. Did you get to the end of it?

No, I got like another good percentage chunk. I unlocked like arrows of chukrinades. Did you get the air dash yet? I didn't. Yes, I did. I did get the air dash. I also got the Larra Stinger. Oh, good. I also got like the shotgun finisher, like that stuff.

And I got many fireworks fireworks. I got many mandatory dungeons. OK, yeah. Which is what streamers are now calling the optional tombs. No mandatory man, optional tombs. Yeah. So I'm really enjoying that. I enjoyed it so much.

I bunkered down. I just went in and bought the season pass. Because if you're liking it, I really, really want that a horror themed DLC, the Tomb of Baba Yaga, which has, which is Tomb Raider Ascension now coming out next week. It's coming out today. Oh, today. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because it's the two survival horror thing I want. Because it's what they wanted. Demons and monsters and a giant, a giant, like a giant Titan. And whatever Baba Yaga is a village on their back. That's it. Looks like the thing in Howl's Moving Castle. Right. It looks like Howl's Moving Castle.

So I bunkered down to buy that. I'm really like I'm really, really want to play that DLC because it's just a standalone three hour chunk of story. So I'm really, really interested to play that. I also played a bit of Tenchu shadow assassins that I also streamed just to show people the really funny bug that you can do in that game. You saw me do that where you can cancel your own assassination and it bricks you into a soft lock, which is really, really funny.

I enjoyed doing that. Did you put down the poison rice that I put down the man that's part of it. Well, you point you poison a that of sake so that a geisha girl goes to then grab the sake and gives it to the Daimou guy. Yeah, the Daimou Daimou. And then you go up on the roof and throw a shuriken at the moment that he drinks the sake and you cancel out one death animation into nothing. And he stands there and you're hard locked.

You have to reset your way. Big Dick Rickie Maru. And and I bugged this and the producer said, nah, now you're no one will. Now you're exposing it for everyone to see. Yeah, exactly. Why did you do your job? That one's by a choir, right? That that was the first one that was done by a choir in a while.

It was always K2 before that for 10 shoes. You should try Shinobi Dota 2. I know, I know. OK, I was looking up and I was like, yeah, they made all these weird. Yeah, Shinobi Dota 2 is all right. Yeah, I played three terrible indie games. Yeah, you were with me when you saw this. I was like, what are all these weird Xbox one?

So the first one was Journey. No, there are. Oh, tell me about Gemini. Tell me about Gemini. Gemini, I want to know. There's this game that I released on PC and Xbox One. It's I was watching reviews for this game this weekend. I need to know Gemini Heroes reborn and it's about heroes.

It's it's about heroes reborn. The show they got canned after one season. Yes. Yeah. So Gemini, what's the hot take? It is the worst mirrors edge game I've ever seen. Great, great, great. But it has some time altering bullshit mechanic. And it's the most paint by numbers, the worst, most stilted dialogue.

You play as this woman from a first person perspective and you have really bad mirrors edge platforming. It's the most generic, like nothing game I've played in a while. It like I don't even know how it got. I don't know how anyone looked at it and said, yeah. Yeah, what I read was like, it's just so it again, like it just feels phoned in and like it only gets good when it gets to a couple bits where it really gets into its own groove, but then it stops.

It's so bad because it's a four and I wish it was a zero. It's like I wish I wish there were bugs all over and stupid shit was happening all the time, but it's just such a zero. And I I feel it's it's like so competent and not interesting at the same time. Exactly, something that was more of a zero was a game called Albedo Eyes from Outer Space, which is a weird European first person shooter, adventure,

action, puzzle, adventure. I don't like the sound of that game. No, wait, no, wait, wait, wait, is it spelled Albedo? Yeah. OK, yeah, OK. Yevon doesn't want you playing that one. No, no, well, it's not Albedo. It's Albedo. Don't worry about it. And you just start off in a room.

I don't know. And something attacks your like a security guard and this monster is beating on the door and he goes, there's a monster out there. I can't leave yet. And then you're stuck in this room and you had the weirdest inventory, like inventory, scroll through your items and use like it was.

I couldn't understand it like the UI or it was the UI. And so the selecting of items was like, I didn't. I couldn't around my heads around my my heads. Yes, I couldn't around my heads around both of them. And he's just like, I need to get around this monster and you look around. He's like, I probably need to give the monster a rat and you find a rat.

He's like, this rat's too fast. I can't pick up the rat. Oh, there's a rat trap and I put down the rat trap and the rat goes right by it. And he goes, the rat's not interested in the rat trap. So I'm just walking around in this one room for like 15 minutes. I'm like, I don't know how to select or look at things. And the monsters just like I really bang into the door,

but he can't get in and I quickly quit the game. And I'm like, I don't know what to do with this. With the game fast. I didn't want to delete it, though. There's something that you will come back to it. You and me, like it's more of a zero. I'm more interested. I'd be down to come check that out.

And I mentioned this to you, Liam. I said, hey, some weird beat them up sci-fi beat them up. Yeah, yeah, it's free on Xbox Live. It's called zeroes. It's Z in front of the word heroes. So there is zeroes. And it's probably one of the worst beat them up. So what's up with you and the heroes?

I don't know. All three of these games are just released. And I boot this up and it's got this sort of semi-dreamworks animated like it's trying. It's it's doesn't have a horrible art style, but none of the characters speak. There's no dialogue. So you get no sense of their personality.

Would you put this in the pile of of like memorable the same pile of memorable mascots as Yorbi? Yeah, zeroes. Man, fucking Yorbi. What the hell? That's a good poll, because I have no idea what you're talking about. Yeah, well, Liam knows what I'm talking about. And Matt knows what he's talking about to me.

Yeah. And you just Liam is that type of beat them up where it's go through 18 screens of the same enemies over and over and over and again. And when you get to the end, that they just do a celebratory animation and there's no boss. And I looked and there's like 80 missions or some shit. It was like eight worlds, 10 missions each.

And it's free to play. No, it's free on Xbox Live, if you remember. I should download it. I don't. It's it's waste of time. Absolute waste of time. There's an H. I know, but it's a Zed heroes. OK, I was going to say, like, good luck finding that in a metal gear solid world.

Yeah, it's really, really bad because that's more of a zero. But in like an actual not good zero way, it's terrible. Great. Great. Really, really quickly, I watched two good movies, one which is a very standard horror movie with Jessica Alba and and Thomas Jane. Thomas Jane plays crazy cult leader, my followers. Oh, that's good. I like that. He kills himself for about two minutes.

Yeah. And he comes back and weird spooky shit keeps happening. That's good. That's what happens in the 80s. So they're watching movies of this these recorded seminars, Jessica Alba in the future, because they're investigating this broken down mystery. The Heavens veil compound. What's this called? The veil, something about a southern accent just makes a cult leader so much more much more. Can't be a fucking Yankee.

And I'll talk to people like this and be like, hey, come follow me. You know, exactly. There's something more. There's more persuasion in the southern Baptist thing. I do believe the Holy Spirit will guide you and you slit your son's throat. He chews up the scenery, as we've often said, about these certain things or like, oh, that's worth watching because he chews up the scenery. It's quite good, not not, you know, amazing or anything, but I enjoyed it.

And the real like, whoa, this is interesting as a movie we watch on Netflix called The Circle. And the entire movie is in one room and it starts 50 characters all in one room. A lot of them don't get a screen time because it seems like they've been transported somewhere. The movie starts. You don't know what the deal is. So there's 50 people all standing on red circles and people just start dying

because there's a center like like apparatus. I wasn't paying attention. I was thinking about other stuff. But yeah, I watched this movie last week. You did. Yes, I did. And it shoots people. Absolutely. And they don't know why. What is this manga premise?

Yeah, it feels like it, right? That's what I was saying to my girlfriend when we were watching it. This is the beginning of a manga, a modern manga that's not going to have a satisfying ending. Death games, whatever. Anyway, go on. Yeah, they they've kind of I'm not going to go too far into it, but they kind of find out why this is happening. And they find out that it's because they're inadvertently voting for people

to die and they slowly piece together like you're voting with your hands. And only you can see your own vote. There's like little dials on the floor that show who you're pointing to. You vote with Kinect, but it works. You vote with Kinect, but it works very good. So it's a massive Prisoner's Dilemma movie. So that means I'm invincible. But there's all these people from different walks of life.

No, it just means you can't vote. Yeah, people can totally vote. And every so often when different topics are brought up, you see people turning heel. Yeah, you see a person that on one topic, they seem pretty like, yeah, we should probably do this and that will buy us more time. And then someone either brings up race or religion. And then the person turns heel.

If there if there hadn't been any movies ever before this, it would be the most groundbreaking thing in the world. But it takes such a like on your nose, a light surface approach to everything where it's like, we should just kill the black guy. OK, so it's like, you know, like, let's kill the old people first. You know, there's they don't actually get deep into it. Well, yeah. It just kind of what's what's the rule all over? And what's the rule that's introduced after a few accidents or deaths?

No, there's oh, yeah, everybody to not just stand there and ignore it. It will do it randomly. If you don't don't play the game, then it forces you forward. It will do it. There's always that. And then the second thing is that there's a high. Do they have a a say are the characters revealed to have things or pasts outside of the narrative? No, you couldn't have known. No, not really.

It stays like a closed there. There is there is no relation between any person and the thing they're fighting. There's no relation between them. It seems very like everyone's like, drop their randomly. There's no this guy is an agent or this guy had a past. The people think they are. There's a guy that's an army fatigues and they all point him. Go, he knows what's going on.

This is a government experiment. But I don't know. Shit, the characters are 100 percent absolutely separated from the like aliens or whatever. OK. Yeah, they make you they towards the end. They make you think that maybe someone that there is an interesting character that's like, what's his deal? And you never really. Yeah, there's some bits that are that are solid. So it was like the best the business man.

That's the most fucking. He he's wearing the white. He's he's he's he's got his. Gordon Gekko. He's got his blazer off, Gordon Gekko. But he's got the the suspenders and the white shirt. And he's like, I make I make this many figures. Yeah, man, man, man, Martin Shkreli. Like, no, no, like cigar chomping.

OK, yeah, young, a young guy, though, like early 80s. He's an 80s banker. He's he's Gordon Gekko. He's a huge asshole. But I he was my favorite. I said this guy's such a such a fucking villain. Yeah. And how is he surviving? That's that's like I started going, oh, like he's got a he's got a dinette.

It's got to come around to the movie. Well, so it was it was good. It wasn't great or anything. They could have done more. It could have done better. It was a very, very like tiny, tiny. The ending really didn't really go anywhere. But it never can, can it? With these types of crimes, it's hard.

But if one movie if you could, you'd kill it. You fucking kill if you could. But you'd floor it. But that's the problem is they never do. They always have this interesting mysterious circumstances that people are forced to kill each other with no explanation. Then the businessman, he reaches down and he uses his inner cubie to get the nine tail.

But but it was a fun movie, though. Years of my life to dance. Yeah. For what? I promise. And did you? Did you enjoy it at the time? Yes. Well, then that's what you did for it. But also to know to hope that the next chapter

would explain what the fuck was happening. That was your mistake. It's like caring about metal gear. That all got us in the end. This is this is a very this is a very one shot movie. I don't see there ever being like another thing or whatever. Yeah. And the last little thing, thanks to anyone that, you know, wrote a little supportive message.

My wife's great aunt died. I never I never met her, but I was told she was really sweet and everything. But thanks to anyone that, you know, just she really appreciates it. She's really busy in my you mean, she really appreciates all the messages. Yeah, she really appreciates people said, obviously, because she's also trying to help plan her sister's wedding, which is coming up. And I'm like because she's been doing that all weekend. So they've been spending a lot of time together.

But I keep getting reminded that I am set for a real Italian bachelor party. That's probably going to trump the one that we had by a significant margin. Well, probably more time spent in that one location. Then the other location in the other location. Matt, you can live the big adult life for all three of us. I know. I'll tell you about it later. We're going to go to Bada Bing. Well, how many times are you going to watch Predator?

We did that at our bachelor party. I know. And it was great. It was great. So I was reminded that I have to do that this weekend. So I was reminded this weekend and that's going to happen. Right. Oh, man. I better not drink like for a long time leading up to it. What is going on?

I was just on my windscreen. I was looking at my windscreen. OK. Because what are you peeling off of it? I'm peeling anything off the thing. It's fine. So yeah, that was me. All right. I guess I'll take it from there. I spit all over his windscreen this week. Yours is the most filthy when you guys leave this place.

How do you know that? I can see it. That's why we don't want to use it. Oh, well, we none of us want to use each other. That's no. The red one is mine. The yellow one. I'll use yours if you use mine. So I'm busier than fucking ever.

And I've got I have so little time these days. But I did have time to squeeze a few things in one thing. Like I need things that I can do while like working on other things. What's going on? And yeah, well, for sure. So I've been like listening to this is a show on Comedy Central called This Is Not Happening by Ari Shafir. And it's fucking hilarious.

It's not happening. It's just a bunch of comedians going up and telling true stories that happen to them. And it's all the best comedians. It's called But it's called This Is Not Happening. Yeah. And like because the premise is so simple, with the comedians going up and telling a story, they spend all their budget on these really expensive

intros of Ari running down a hallway and Mecca chasing him and dogs shooting out from the fucking sides. And it's it's nuts. It's really, really fun. It's just a really funny thing and simple we're checking out for sure. I got around to finally fucking watching something. I have no excuse for not doing prior to this. But my neighbor Totoro.

OK, yeah. Wow. Yeah, that was one that I just missed. You know, and I know everything about it via osmosis, but never actually sat and did it of great movie. Man, is it is it interesting to go back and watch an animated film where they don't care about modern day pacing, especially for a movie that children are going to a lot of Ghibli movies actually don't. Yeah, they do things the way that they want to tell the story

and not the way that's going to sell the toys. And it's too bad anime was a mistake, though. Yeah, it's nothing but trash after all. But yeah, you go fucking 40 minutes into this thing. Nothing has happened. And it's just nothing has kids just living out on the farm. Yeah, just doing it, you know, and then you get a glimpse. My neighbor plague, a glimpse of the toro,

maybe almost an hour. It like it's so sparing like a Godzilla movie. And then he gets in the robot. And then it but it's great, man. It's such a fun, you know, happy time. And you can see why it's like people looked at it and went, yeah, that's Japanese Disney. We get it. Yeah. So fucking.

Turning over like new stones here. But my neighbor totoro actually a decent movie. Yeah, yeah, you and me really striking. Well, the hardest hot this week. It was mainly because I've been showing the girlfriend all the Ghibli classics and and Satoshi and you pop it in. You're like, this one's my favorite. Oh, yeah.

Got to look cool. I want really I want really to just go like so. I've never actually watched Dragon Ball. So I actually I'm like that. I almost watched almost none of DBZ in its airing. Almost everything I know about. I couldn't I got via osmosis and clips. So I could only watch up until radish.

And then YTV would never play. I watched I watched all they would just keep playing that one. Over and over for me. It's I know that so it's weird. For me, it's I read it all. And then I watched my my friend's tapes of the Japanese one. You'd be amazed. Shitty quality.

You'd be amazed what you can learn about the cell games from like AMVs. Yeah, yeah, no, but but like I watched. I didn't know Lincoln Park showed up. Yeah, they were there. Jester Bennington was a cell junior. My friend David has these. My friend David had these SLP quality recordings where you could get like six hours on a VHS tape or more.

Yeah. And like and we just go through tons and tons of episodes on those. And then when they dubbed it and brought it over, I'd peek in. You're like, where's the ZOOT? That wasn't the way I, you know, that wasn't the one that I focused on. So anyway, I watched that I decided to peek my head in and see what the Star Wars Rebels was about. Yeah, I watched a bunch of that, actually.

How far are you? Seven or eight episodes look as like childlike as it appears. It's a show for kids. So it's a show for kids. And it's a show that basically continues in the footsteps of Clone Wars, as far as having an animated Star Wars TV goes, not necessarily in continues in terms of tone, because I've definitely seen the clips of like

where Clone Wars goes in the later seasons. Yeah, Clone Wars gets serious and intense. Like those first two seasons and like the whole dark like that evil little Sith girl that fights. Not the 2D, not the Gendy stuff, the 3D stuff I'm talking about. Yeah, the 2D stuff we've talked about. To that tone, I'm talking about the 3D specifically. So Rebels in this case.

Yeah, it's show for kids, but it's still Star Wars Adventures. And it's still, you know, it's pretty fun. I don't know. Did you get to the returning character who looks fucking sick? No, but but it's something that I can. I'm not going to like hang on to it. Yeah, but I definitely don't mind popping in first from time to time just to see where they're going to go, what they're going to do.

Because it seems like, you know, even if it's for kids, they might they might be able to do something interesting with this. If it's the only other piece of cannon material out there. No, it's it's pretty good. You got not much else to to to say your Star Wars. That's fine. You know, yeah, that's exactly. It simplifies things.

It's fine that there's nothing. It simplifies things. It really does. Um, and yeah. And I was no, I guess that's it. You did nothing this week. Yeah, that's good. I feel like there's something else I'm forgetting, but it's fine.

We doesn't matter. Just bring it up again. Another 20 exactly. Yeah, it doesn't matter. I watched a bunch of Street Fighter Five. That's all. Yeah, the tournament, of course. You know, dude, that game is true.

That happened. That game is coming. It's it's killing me that I don't know what the time is. It's too bad. It's so simple and dumbed down. Yeah. What are you, Tokido? I was just doing that gaffe post that that started because of Tokido.

Oh, really? Yeah. He said that like a way back again, I think and and people hopped on it because well, Tokido. Well, no, again, I'm pretty sure. I feel like Zen was probably early or no, infiltration was really early on. I was going to say, like, let's not pretend that it isn't a bit simpler. It is.

Yeah. OK, I was going to say, like, you know, it is it is. Yeah, it's not a bad thing, but you know, it's a thing for appeal. But like anyway, we'll talk about Street Fighter in a bit. We will watch it watching that that tournament and seeing like completely optimized combos already seem all right. So I mean, look, there's a lot of Street Fighter news, you know, we might as well get into let's talk about Street Fighter.

We might as well get into the biggest story of the week, right, with all this this Street Fighter news. New beta on the week. Upper's looks amazing. Upper's, man. Vita means life, motherfuckers. So you brought this up like a few weeks ago. You just said that funny quote, which is like you you beat up you beat up guys

and then you motorboat and girls are literally watching. And all we had at the time was that a couple of magazines. That magazine scan. And like, yeah, I brought it up on the docket like this. There's a new game. It's called uppers. Yeah. And it's got what's his names are from King of Fighters.

Fuck. Yes, the fat guy. No, it's not. Oh, it's not. It's not. It's not. God, shit, I'm looking at me. It's not.

It's not. Oh, I forgot his name. But yes, anyway, the King of Fighters. Also me. It's directed by Kenny Chiro Takaki. I think his name is the director of I want to wrap the ring, Hagra and Valkyrie Drive. And it's developed by Bullet, who made the Bancho series.

Yeah, yeah, and it's set in that world that I can't get enough of, which is GTO the early years. Yeah. You know, fucking yeah, Bancho, Bancho type, dudes, young upstarts, gangster punks. Well, you might be able to subscribe these young men as hot blooded a little bit, blooded upstarts, hot blooded boys, hot blooded youths directed to fight

by the eight queens. Those were the eight girls in the trailer. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Oh, that's how one of the things that you'll see was some fight. Can you tell who my favorite JoJo is? That's so good. God, it looks so awesome.

Charlotte. Yeah. Uppers. Check out this trailer and watch the magic unfold. Looks really great. I already intended to, yeah. No, for sure, but like now that I've seen the trailer, I could just go by the screenshots, but that trailer was nuts.

I was really happy to see it this morning. Yeah, no, it looks fantastic. Not enough games like that nowadays. I hope you can rank up with your crew and have a whole team of thug dudes that are like... All those main characters are against each other. You know the girls, right? But I wanted you to be able to do the squat circle

and get squat points. Sure, that's Cancabancho. Okay. You wanna play their previous games because that's what they made. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, that's what those games are about. Okay, okay, okay.

You can play the PSP one, it's the only one that's in English, and you can download it on your Vita TV for like five bucks. That's Cancabancho Badass Rumble. Badass Rumble, exactly. And it has a God Hand style move customizations. Okay. Yeah, it's very cool.

As I was gonna say, do you know who I want to localize? Like the specific people that localize? And I know that it was published by Atlas back in the day, but whoever did the localization for Tokyo beatdown on the DS? On the DS? Yeah. Cause I think that localization was like really weird.

I don't remember who did that, yeah. I mean, it was published by Atlas, and like most likely if this comes over, it'll be published by Exceed, or some other type of company like that. Cause it's by Marvelous, so. But I want like a little funny. No, it'll be Exceed, cause Marvelous owns them, huh?

Yeah. And I said like GTO the early years, but it's like that's also Crow Marty High, that's also Angel Densetsu. And Crows and stuff. Yeah, Crows. You know they're making a Crows beat them up for Vita and PS4 as well?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's also the... Cause these games are coming back. Takamura flashbacks. Yeah, Takamura, young Takamura. Takamura, Alki, and Kimimura. Absolutely, it's the delinquents, man. The life of a delinquent.

It's the delinquents, boys. And this time it just happens to be hyper colorful. Yeah, that's the thing I like. It's so colorful. It looks more like other, like unlike Yakuza, or other type of games that have like the most more realistic kind of things. Yakuza wants to be like a snapshot of real life.

Yeah, this is more like, you know, Spike Out, or, you know. And like Kenkabansho's Goofy, but this is way, way further. It looks pretty goofy. I really hope someone yells out the word up, ah, at some point. Well, at the title screen at the very least.

I'm excited, we still haven't heard any game audio yet, so, and I know that's usually a weird thing, or like game audio, who cares, but like. But we do know. I wanna hear what that shit sounds like. We do know that there's advanced cloth physics on the skirts. Yes, we could see that, for sure.

And all the boys, I think, as well. Yeah, on their dicks. On their hair. Yeah, on their dick hair. The pompadors need serious physical physics. Yeah, they're dick pompadors. Yeah, that's right. Which is longer?

Dickadors. It's like it's competing. Yeah. I wanna wrap the world in happy dickadors. So, okay, we've got a lot of industry firefighter five information on its way out in this last two weeks. Rush.

So, one. Is it really just two weeks? Five days plus 16. Something like that, yeah. Oh, man. Not three weeks. Five days plus 16 is exactly three weeks. That's exactly three weeks.

That's okay, though. What type of information? One, we've got the alt costumes leaks. Oh, yes. And that was more so just a series of hacks that some people did, but we got to see. A bunch of those should be the default costumes. So, you get to see.

Oh, yeah, you think. Oh, yeah, you think. Which ones? Most of them I like. I didn't like GIFs at all. Until I saw Mika, and then I loved it. Oh, I thought GIFs was over. Me and Mika's and GIFs are good together.

As a pair, it looks fantastic. As a single weird thing. I was like, why is it one-sleeve? It's like a weird wrestling thing. I don't know. It's almost as if he's a wrestler. Yeah, no, no, but I mean, it's weird for a wrestling uniform.

Yeah, but it's not his exact same costume. It's not the same thing, you're right. Remember, GIF has like literally the least amount of change visually. Yeah. In his standard costume. Yeah, we have that. We've got Nikali, the war god.

Nikali, the final boss. Shut up, he's the final boss. Laura's untextured, whatever it is. Well, now we've got, there's a textured footage. Oh, is there a textured one? Yeah, there is. Okay, at the time there was. There's cosplay on it.

Oh boy, oh boy is there footage. Laura's untextured everything. The video slows it down for you. Damn. Just to make sure you are where you need to be. You've got the, what else was there? We took a look at Rashid's casual clothes. His casual outfit looks fucking dope.

I'm on board with these KOF clothing swaps. So that was fun. We got Kami in her military thing. I like Kami's. Now all we need is Chun-Li, oh Chun-Li, police woman. Chun-Li, we also need a business Chun-Li. Yeah. From the early on comics.

I still miss her Alpha costume, I hope that shows up. Yeah, I love her Alpha costume. Are Street Fighter 2 ending real girl costume? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or Alpha, just Alpha. I hope Vega calls her police woman like Helsing. Vegas was the one where I was like eh, it's barely any different.

It's barely any different. It looks very similar. I'm sure Vega players will appreciate it. I couldn't even see the difference on Dalsam's. Yeah, I didn't really notice. Dalsam has another alt costume. I couldn't tell, I couldn't tell, honestly. Bison's got his shirt re-blown.

You know what I'd like to see for Dalsam? Because he's wearing a turban now, it implies that he's no longer bald. Like as, well you would assume that he's got hair. No, that's not true. It isn't. In his old Alpha intro, Alpha 2 intro and Alpha 3, he's wearing the turban.

He just didn't happen to wear the turban earlier? He wears it in a sprint and he pulls it off. Okay, okay. Then I'm off. Shit, I want to see Dalsam with hair. This is where I'm going with this. If you're kind of a monk, I don't think he like. Wait for Datsa to grow up.

There's some reason why he's bald. And, what the hell is this? Oh, because his hair got burned off in the shadow loo. Oh, shit, shadow loo. That experiment made Lanka. And of course, birdie in the shadow loo outfit that doesn't fit. And of course, there's Charlie, who's just Charlie. He's just Charlie, yeah.

That sucks, that one. But that's, no, but I'll tell you what that is. That's for the people that want like old Ken. Yeah. It's like, it's just, we want not zombie Nash, please. Honestly, like by the end of it, every character's going to have 20 cops. Exactly, so it doesn't suck.

It's fine. It's fine. How many? Charlie already has three. You know what I mean? And they're all great. They're all great. So we got that.

Could we get Charlie cop with the hair down? Could we do that, please? That would be the best character. Can we get hybrid Alpha and two, Charlie? Where it's like the mixture of both that I believe was in the Udon tribute book. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, we've got the Expand.

No, we got the themed PS4s, which looked pretty. Those are cool. Are those only for Japan? Yeah, they're only for Japan. And they're only, and on top of it, if I'm thinking they're the gold and silver ones, right? I know the white and the black is what I'm thinking. All right, sorry.

But it's only the little like faceplate bit that has the Street Fighter V thing on it, right? Yes, it's only, yeah, exactly. No, they're not region locked. No PS4s are region locked. They're only from the... No, the faceplates are region locked. No, they're only from the...

This isn't God damn Nintendo. They're only from Sony's Japanese web store. So if you want to get one, all the usual suspects like Play Asia and Ami-Ami are out. You're gonna have to order from like Tenso or something. So don't. No, you can totally do it. You're gonna need a faceplate adapter.

You just need to go an extra step. Just buy the faceplate. You need an NTSC faceplate. Don't know if they sell just the faceplate, but anyway. Then don't. So... I'm just saying, if you want it, there's an option. But it's...

So yeah, it seems to just be that unlike, let's say, like Star Wars, which got like the whole thing, you know? In Japan, they make those for pretty much every big-ish game. Okay. Those ones for Yeruzo that came out this week. No, Christ. They're just only sold in Japan. Like the Darth Vader one and the Call of Duty ones here

were only sold here. And the Destiny one here was only sold here. So you're saying it's that those ones were region locked to this region? I'm saying they're available in stores in this region. So they're locked to these stores, you might say. I'm saying you're region- They're store locked.

They're store locked. They're store locked. You're locked to annoying shit right now. They're store locked. We've got the- How did you get that annoying? Is that a pack you just put in there, Pat? Like, is it a pack?

I love a pack. I love how Matt started this, but now it's on me something. Yeah, you made it better. Pat bought the season pass. Yeah. I'll stop being- What is that, a pack? Is it the characters and the levels?

I will stop being this annoying when you actually pay me the bet. I offered you the fucking money, anyway. We've got- Not since you offered me the wrong money. What else in Street Fighter happens? Well, I'm trying to move on. Yeah, me too.

To the expanded story trailer, which should quell a lot of fears. I think I said before, or I don't know, it was on the podcast where I was like, I was really worried we're just gonna get art. So the art- So I'm super happy. So here's what we know,

because Ono sat down and did a ton of interviews and confirmed a ton of shit. And let's take it from the top. One, the artwork you're seeing in the training mode, the 2D stuff, that's like meh. That's just the arcade mode endings you're gonna get on release day. Intro and endings, right?

Like you started off something like that, yeah. There's gonna be a full-on story mode that is like using the engine through cutscenes and everything that's over an hour long. And there's a trailer of that out. It's gonna be like Mortal Kombat. It's gonna be like Mortal Kombat and that is gonna be coming out in June.

So that's not ready to go just to say it. Did they just use the words over an hour long? They said over an hour long. Fuck. It's gonna be short, 65 minutes long. God damn it. It'll be MK was three, four. Yeah, three or four and that's...

No, MK9 was like six. MK9 was like six days. MK9 was really long, so I remember doing that. MKX was like... I spent like an hour on Shao Kowloon. Yeah. When they say this is like MK,

that this is one big story mode. No, I'm excited for it. Freshman effort. The trailer looked amazing. Freshman effort. Freshman effort was six hours in MK9. Freshman Capcom effort. Yeah, yeah.

No, don't get me wrong. I am so excited for it and the trailer looked amazing and I wanna know who that girl was. Yeah. But it's Colin. But one hour, and I hope they do a second one.

It's Colin. It's Ingrid. They just took off their role. Yes, it's Colin. Oh, I confirmed. More or less, because it's a Facebook post where they show off all this stuff.

They say that this story mode will explicitly bridge Street Fighter 5 and Street Fighter 3. Yeah, I remember reading that. Four and three, yeah. Four and three, yeah, you're right. So that has to be Colin. Yeah, I guess so, yeah.

So yeah, we've got, again, just on the hour point, it's like Japan's first crack at it. I'll take the hour for it. You'll take it. No, me too. I'm super excited. Full LP, you don't play.

Yeah, but I bet Guilty Gear XX for the PS2 has more custom animations in it for the story modes than Street Fighter 5 will have. You're wrong. It doesn't. So full LP is super confirmed, right? Super confirmed, why not? It'll be one video.

We could stretch it to two. Stretch it. Lessor channels will stretch it to six. But the other main point is that this update is actually going to be free, which is super cool. Yeah, of course. If it's going to be late,

it's fine if it's free. Yeah. I hope that in the future, they put out a disc with it on it. They will. Well, hopefully, yeah. Yeah, Street Fighter 5L. Yeah, large.

But I know, so yeah, and of course with Yuri incoming, it's going to be like we absolutely are going to get our Illuminati linking story plot. The Shadowloo has to be utterly crushed and defeated here. Bison has to be vanquished forever. And his... They'll just do the soul chance for you guys.

His fucking Starkiller base that he apparently has, has gotta go. He's gotta go. He's gotta go. Maybe Bison just goes off into the reaches of space. Now here's the weird thing. Here's the weird thing, like cars. The weird thing is that,

oh no, in the interview says that when we jumped to Street Fighter 3, the hardcore's loved it. They loved the new setting and the new world and all that stuff. We did. But casuals were like, why should I care about anything? I had an argument with somebody like last night about like the roster thing again, where they're like, oh, Third Strike had way too many

new characters. I'm like, that's why it's so cool. Exactly, so. It's ballsy. But it's only... By the time Third Strike came out, you already had a bunch of established new characters that have been in two games.

But even the new generation cast is cool. It's cool. Yeah, no guy. It's cool to us because we think about the default cast every single day of our lives. And that's not an exaggeration. No, exactly. Every day. Like, I pointed out...

At some point, a thought. It's vanilla. Well, no, it's not regular. It's just regular oatmeal. To people who played Street Fighter casually or like every now and then, right? The new generation came out. Where's Ryu?

He's my guy. It's like, we've been... Sorry, not Ryu. Where's Geese? Gile. Where's Gile? It's like, do you have any idea how many matches people who play Street Fighter have played with Gile?

Yeah, but where's... For 15 fucking years? But that doesn't answer my question. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Gile, 12th lame. Where's Gile? Which alt-pat is the person saying that in another world. Yeah. Because like me...

I am the worst person. And the alternate reality, me, is the worst person. So there you go. In this scenario. Because on a personal level, like, you know, everyone has their likes and dislikes. But if you were to say, hey, you can either have three characters.

You can have Gile, Zangief, or Dalsim, or Alex, Alex, Necro, and Remy. I'll pick Alex, Necro, and Remy each time. Every time, yeah. Because I prefer those characters on a, like, whatever. I don't know why, really. I just like them better. You could pick Jerry, Hakan, and Fang.

I'd take those three. Well, for me, it's not... Over who? And he knew. They're new. Yeah. It's not even about, like, you're right, Matt. But for me, it wouldn't even be because of the designs.

It would be because these guys have had one game. And let's give them a chance. If, like, if you gave me... There are people, like, there's people like Viper and Hakan and Rufus that I really hope come back at some point. Absolutely. It's such a strong roster. And Rufus is really good.

He has always terrible styles. Fantastic. It's a strong roster. And it's wide, right? There's so many people that live in the Street Fighter universe, but only a collection of about 30 of them have the numbers that show that they return over the years. The rest of them are part-timers.

You have alumni and then, like, the forgotten ones. And it's like, the forgotten ones are pretty good, man. Alex has to live in a fucking trailer. He can't afford fixing cars. He needs work. Alex is super weird because he was supposed to be the new hero. And he's like a God or he's like a D character now. He's got nothing to fight for until Tom loses fair and square.

Mate, you know what? You know what I can see? I can see that because the... I bet that the reason why the story mode is delayed until June is so that the DLC characters that are supposed to be in that story are going to be out. So I'm thinking I'm thinking guy will be much later. It could be part of the reason, but I also think they need time.

No, sure. But I think that's a nice... The reason is why is because they need to get it out. But I also think that that means when you get halfway through DLC roster two that there will be another story mode. I really hope they do multiple. But realize, recognize that the timing of June means that the whole roster won't be out by that point.

That's right. But just the ones that need to be there. So there's a shot in that trailer of Charlie looking at a photo of Gile. I bet Gile won't be out because he won't be in that storyline. I bet Boxer will be there. I bet Urian will. Maybe Alex.

But there's also ending screenshots where we see Charlie and Gile standing together. So we don't know the order is what I'm saying. I don't think they're related at all. I think you're drawing a correlation where there is none. I want to see what goes down with Urian's story. Well, she'll have a hat. She's in an interesting position because Shadalu

has got to disappear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Well, the first thing is that she'll have a hat and long hair. Yeah. Sure. But I want to see what happens with that. I think you're doing your thing where

you'd like to say the thing and just say a bunch of things until she removes some of that. No, I've been consistent on that one. Anyway, we've got that information. We've got the fact that it's going to end the Street Fighter 3. It's going to bridge that link. But the weird part, and this is what I was trying to say, is almost said in the interview,

I know that casual fans hated it and hardcore's liked it. But because so many more people were missing their old favorites, I'm never going to do a reboot-like third strike or rather a new generation. It's kind of weird to me because you literally had everyone in four favorite. So like saying, I'll never do that again is a little like, well, you already.

The way I interpret that is I'll never do it with newbies alone. Yeah, OK. It'll always be a mix. It'll always be the alumni. The worst we'll see is like 60% old people, 40% new. Like that's the highest. I want the cover of the box to be Balrog and Hakan.

I want a half. In the middle. That's what I want. I think half and half is fair. Because New Gen and Second Impact and Third Strike was mostly you. And I guess that I know how that's scary. I also think that you should have a wider range of who

you're pulling from for that old cast. I think it's messed up that there's no third strike characters in SF5 at launch. So that's weird. And we have proof that half and half is the best because fucking MKX is godlike. Yeah. That's like to the reboot argument.

Like, man, there's never been a successful rebooted fighting game. Well, I guess Tekken 3 doesn't count. Yeah. The most successful fighting game of all fucking time. I do think I do think I hope they work on redesigning the characters' costumes more as more games go through.

Because Ken's a good change. Holy shit. If Gile shows up and he's just Gile, like how Zangy shows up, he'll be super pissed. Here's the thing. I bet that Boxer will have a new design. I bet he's going to have that hood on. I bet that Urain will have a new design.

I bet Jerry will have a new design. I bet Alex will have a minor change. But Gile will not change. Gile is American Ryu. Gile is American Ryu. That's really disappointing. He will be exactly the same. It's very.

You can see him in that trailer and in the new model. And he looks exactly the same. No, but that's a photo. No, but it's a 3D model. It's a photo of a 3D model. They're not going to do that. It's against the law in Street Fighter Land to change Gile at all.

You can make his hair taller or shorter. That's it. Or rounder. Anyway, so that's that. There's also a weird-ass secondary story here where game, the British, the one that goes bankrupt all the time. Yeah, every day.

They're having a tournament where you can win 1,000 pounds playing Street Fighter V in an elimination tournament. You can gain 1,000 pounds. 1,000 pounds of what? Oh, wait. That's how they did it. 1,000 pounds sterling.

Great British pounds. Pound sterling. Silver sterling. GBP. Currency. Money. I answered your question. Legal tender.

Do you have a follow-up? I don't know. All right, good. All right, great. So you could win 1,000 pounds. Tell us in 10 minutes when you have it. The thing I said was so stupid, I didn't expect it to be engaged.

Oh, yeah. It's a Street Fighter V elimination tournament. Splash in the light again. It is. In single-player mode against the CPU. How do you? Did Dawson organize this tournament? How do you determine a winner?

Guess what? Points? Oh, wait. Are there still points? Guess what? This wasn't well thought out. How do you determine a winner? No, wait.

This is designed by Nicholas Pickles. I think they're going to fight the computer and see how the people perform. Who gets farther faster? It's going to be points, man. Luffy can't win. Luffy can't win. Go get your Larry, it's ready.

And just spam him. Well, that's crazy. Everyone who won the tournament works at this retail location. That's bananas. Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen such a classic example of like, yeah, you just don't get it. They heard that Street Fighter V might be big.

And they're like, what game is this? Well, they read the Capcom press release that they got with the marketing kit. It's the biggest competitive fighting game series returns. So it's like. Let's have a contest. So it's like trials, right? Like it's like time trials.

Get those kids in front of their game controllers, like rally races. So we'll do it with the time. Who can navigate the options menu the fastest? Well, again, this is coming from sophisticated named real retailer game. Game. When you put it like that.

That goes bankrupt all the time. But they're the game stop equivalent. What you have here. They're not owned by the same parents. We have game. What should we call it? It should be called button basher. I would spend all my money.

I have fucking button basher all day. All my single pounds, Sterling. We've also got meanwhile. And the other side of the fence. We've got Mortal Kombat, which confirms only good news. Right. This is the most black and white good news, bad news thing. Yeah.

So well, we've got the we've got the sub good news, which is cyber sub zero confirmed. So he's quad Borg. Quad Borg. And he's got friendship. Cool. Good. Really?

That's good. That's fantastic. We've got the confirmation that the the GGPO thing is happening. They're doing an online beta test. There's Combat Pack 2 coming. Yeah. Max, I was going to really quickly on the GGPO thing.

I remember Max put out a video just recently. He's like, man, it's way, way better. Yeah. It's such an improvement. Yeah. It's GGPO. It's still a little jittery though. Yeah.

Of course. Yeah. Of course. They got work to do. Can I say something about Combat Pack 2? Uh-huh. I hate Combat Pack 2. Okay.

I hate when games have two season passes. It's the fucking worst. It's the worst thing ever because like, I wish I could have just bought a season pass that had everything. I do too. What? You can. But instead, I bought Combat Pack.

I got a bunch of characters. You weren't to know. A bunch of other DLC was coming out at the same time as Combat Pack, which I bought because I was really into MKX at the time. And now, lo and behold, all that DLC is a part of Combat Pack 2. Mortal Kombat XL. It's fucking horseshit. It's the answer for you, Liam.

You should have known about the marketing plans a year in advance. It's fucking filth. Yeah. And they did it with MK9 as well. Don't buy it. Yeah. Well, the MK9 was a little different because there was only one pack of characters. I mean, it's like from the guys that brought you an online pass.

Yeah. You know what I mean? No, dude, this is Fool Me Twice. The first one was Bioshock Infinite. This was absolutely Fool You Twice. This was Fool Me Twice, so shame on someone. No. And what's that other part of the news?

And then, well, we've got all these great announcements for Mortal Kombat if you're a console owner. If you have the game on PC, everything. Even if you don't have the game on PC, terrible news for PC. Everything we've just talked about is not for you. I believe the instructions directly say go fuck yourself. WB really just bringing it home to PC owners. If you happen to have bought a copy of MKX on PC and you haven't played it, probably

return it. It's possible. I read about this news backwards in terms of discovering what PC was getting or not getting. So the first thing I found out was they're not getting Excel and I was like, oh, that sucks. But at least they can still buy them separately. And then it's like they're not getting Combat Packed too.

And I was like, whoa. Yeah. So that version of the game is instantly useless. And then it's like they're not even getting GGPO. See if they're, if Warner Brothers is, if I'm not mistaken, they're working on like a fix for the online, but who cares anymore? The online will not at all be the online. This is the kind of thing that drives people to feel morally justified in pirating that

publishers games. I was going to say if Warner Brothers feels like, hey, this isn't, let's say whatever, they're just not happy with the performance of the PC version, you're not going to do the Combat Pack too. Fine. You're not going to do Excel. Fine. But you're not going to put the thing that makes online good.

Like you're not going to improve the base game that already exists. Well, it's like, you know, I think, well, in recent memory, the first one that Warner Brothers did like this was Batman Arkham Arkham Origins on the Wii U did not get any of the DLC. Didn't get the DLC. And that was pretty abhorrent, but it was like, okay, it's Wii U version. It's not performing well. There's, there's literally no money that game sold like trash on Wii U.

And they refunded the season pass. And then, and then, you know, upcoming, they have Lego Marvel Avengers on the Vita and 3DS version is not getting the Ant-Man DLC or the Civil War DLC. And it's like, okay, it's handhelds in the West. Yeah, there's, the money's not really there for them. Well, whatever. I'll ignore that. But fucking Mortal Kombat X on PC, your flagship fighting game that you're trying to tell me

is the definitive fighting game for fighting game, period, that you released a terrible PC version of, you're not only not going to fucking fix it right and promptly, let alone release it. You're going to make the version totally useless. You're going to make it objectively worse for all time. Yeah. So here's the problem. To me, here's the problem.

To me, the problem is not even that they're abandoning ship. It's that they're abandoning ship after they put it out for sale. Yeah, exactly. They would have never sold it. Never would have been a problem. Exactly. Like, if you look at it and you see that this is a problem and then you commit to selling it anyway, you're in and it's too bad you're in at that point.

It's like, whatever the reason is why they're like, they don't like, whatever, they're just doing this to the PC. Well, War Brothers clearly has PC issues. It should have been like the same thing as the 360 and PS3 versions of MKX that they can before it went on sale. If there's some problem and you can't support it, don't start supporting it. It's not a crazy thing. Ports are way harder than they look.

And like, don't do this. Or if you don't have the will to support that version. You know it's going to be truly. And you know that there's going to be a ton of support overall. Yeah. It's fucking dope. No. Makes everyone hate you.

Like, there was a point where it was struggling and they could have just pulled that entire version and said, so we can't do it. We know that they have done that with other games. That would have been the lesser of two evils. Yes. But to continue down this path and do that is fucking terrible. There's something I feel a little bit bad for is that you see, like, I follow Ed Boone on Twitter and he just posted some random thing and they were the fucks the PC.

Like, there is no one that is literally not part of that conversation and it's him. Yeah. Like, you think Ed Boone has a big fucking stamp that says, I hate Blank? No, exactly. Like, I'm sure he's not happy with this. He's the creative director. I'm sure a lot of the team's not happy with this. Yeah, exactly.

They knew nothing because Batman was put out by the same company. You can make tons of very reasonable assumptions, right? And that is they don't think that the PC is worth the resources that the platform actually requires, right? And thus they will either half-ass it like they did with Batman and the game's original release or they'll just fucking give up like Batman and this game. What happens often times internally, and I can't speak to this specific case, but I can say that many times you'll see what looks to be a normal effort towards PC, but the

moments things start to go wrong, the support, like the amount of work that gets put into fixing things. We don't actually care. Is where you start to see even the worst short. We care as far along as... Let's make it. Yeah. Just do a port.

Just do a port. Yeah. I think it's assumed by a lot of people that a PC port is easy. No. Holy shit. It's not as easy as it... Like even though it's PC and PC's the more powerful machine in all cases. Tricefx is complicated.

I never worked in the biz like all of you guys, but even as a layman who played PC games forever, the fact alone that there's different hardware set-ups by itself... Makes it banana-ish. ...is a nightmare. Yeah. No, it's... Yeah, go into the steam form of any game. Any game.

You can look for the guy with the video card that doesn't like the driver version. It's fucking hard, but it's a business decision. And you might say like, and you'd probably be right if you go like, well, if I primarily play on the PC, I'm just going to avoid all Warner Brothers games. Maybe not because for whatever reason, Dying Light is fine? Yeah, Dying Light's fine. But isn't that Deep Silver? No, that's Warner Brothers Dying Light specifically.

Maybe Techland. But Techland has its own PC development. Well, I was going to say like that, and I believe Mad Max was fine, I think. Yeah. But whatever came out last year and was astounding. Like... So... Or like the fact that when I bought Assassin's Creed Chronicles on PC and you guys all looked

at me like, what is wrong with Unizone? Yeah, because Ubisoft shits all over almost every time. I've never touched one until now. Yeah, anything from Ubisoft. There's two studios that do Ubisoft games on PC, and one's good and the other's bad. We've got to do your research. But yeah, their track record's extremely spotty in that regard. I feel really bad for everybody who is getting a game published by Warner Brothers on PC.

It's going to look bad on them. A couple years. Not because of that, because it's something I said before, and it's like, I don't think people are morally justified in piracy. I personally don't even care. But they feel morally justified. If you bought MKX, I can easily see that person feeling like they got ripped off so hard that they owe them a rip-off.

And I don't even know how to argue with that person. I might even agree with that person in some situations, because that's crazy. You got the shit one, and you had no way of knowing that you were getting the shit one. And that's going to hit the next couple of games. That reflects on Ed Boone when the sales aren't as whatever. Is there a PC version of Injustice? Yes. There really was?

Yes, I actually didn't know. Okay. I know nothing about it. The ultimate shit thing was Arkham Knight, there was the vindication of Steam refunds or a thing. Yeah. This is something. It's too late?

Yeah, that's true. It's too late. You played it because you assumed? Yeah. It's like, this is like a near totally unique scenario in that, like, okay, there's games as a product, there's games as a service, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, but right, and it's like, what if your game becomes useless for the purpose that you bought it?

It doesn't become useless overall, but what if it becomes, like, your purpose is to play it for a competition? You want to stay competitive or whatever. Yeah. So, only buy a lead platform, Warner Brothers games, or just don't. You should have known better for being a PC owner, you should be used to being treated like trash. Yeah.

Bingo. Welcome to the new you. Bingo. And then the companies that treat the PC well make infinity dollars. Last thing I want to say on it is maximum observation that the characters in Combat Pack 2 are all coming out at the same time instead of staggered, which likely means that this is the last pack and that they're going to wash their hands the whole time. They're moving on to Injustice 2.

Which also pisses a lot of people off because then you don't get the Baraka rain or the other character, Melina, no, Melina, there's Baraka rain, the story pack. Smoke. Smoke, yeah, the thing was smoke. Other girl from characters that were, like, explicitly mentioned as coming later. In the story mode, they use facts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What models are they taking?

Whatever the letter and say. Whatever that girl's name is. Do you remember Boon was telling people that story pack was coming? Like, that's not going to happen. I feel like it was mentioned. I don't remember the explicit thing. I heard that name thrown around a lot. No, it was somebody said, hey, when the fuck are we going to get to play as rain?

This is bullshit. He's in the game as a model. And Boon's reply tweet was like, you mean story pack? And that, oh, I guess it's more important to put an alien. But yeah. No, Injustice 2. Alien that doesn't look like it. And I'm like legit chuffed at the fucking Combat Pack 2.

Proper chuffed? Proper chuffed. I like two season passes, like a borderlines two, I think did it first and that's fucking and man, like what a fucking bummer. Mortal Kombat is going to use goddamn ggpo going for everyone is using it. They're either recreating ggpo like a cat or straight out using it. Yeah. Rising Thunder is just going to use the new version or other people are just going to

adapt it or Arksis made their own like similar ggpo. Rising Thunder is the. It is. That's why I mean you want to install it in your game. Rising Thunder is secretly running in the background but ggpo fought its uphill battle and it's won. And instead of feeling elation over that news, like even western fighting games, instead all you feel is like, this is bullshit.

Yeah. What a horrible way to fuck up your news. It sucks because I'm still going to buy it. And it's not like it did, it did 500,000 units. It did the worst of all three versions, no doubt. But it's having a million copies. 500,000 is still good enough. Spending the money on it.

Spending the money on it now has nothing to do with the game as it is now. It has to do with the next game that they want to tell you they'll support. And people will go, you're a fucking liar. I can only imagine Netherrealm is as upset as we are. Oh yeah. Definitely. I seriously doubt any of them. I don't presume for a second that they're happy.

I bet there's a bunch of guys who worked on the PC version going, what the fuck? Yeah. Okay, so we got to move on and we got to get around to a bunch of news. Street Fighter feel good. More combat feel bad. Something I don't care about so I can close the window for you like you asked. Necropolis looks really cool. What are you talking about?

It's a trailer. There was a trailer for it, but we have a release date for this game called Necropolis. I am interested in that game. It is a... It's played it. It's fucking awesome. It is a roguelike game. Oh shit, I like that.

That game's awesome. It is a roguelike game that has the art style of journey with a sense of humor. Is that the one made by the fucking harebrained people? I don't know who the fuck it is. I don't know who make it. I forget the name of the people who make it. I'm confusing it with that one. But I can tell you that.

Wait, is that not the same different game? This will have a four player co-op in it and it looks like this. The fuck? Oh yeah. I've never seen this. It's a roguelike souls game. By harebrained, yeah. By harebrained.

But it's described as hack and slash. Yeah, harebrained. By harebrained. Yeah. And it looks super... No, me and Pat played this. It's dope as shit. Yeah.

I had a great moment when I played that demo at PAX where I said, oh, this build is totally static but in the full game it's gonna be random and she goes, no, this build is totally random. Oh wow. What do you mean by sense of humor though? I didn't get that impression when I played it at all. In fact, there was no dialogue or... When you watch this trailer, there's tons of goofy shit happening.

Like physical stuff. Okay. Because when we played it, yeah, it just... It's serious. That's cool. Yeah. There's... No, you'll see some goofy shit.

Okay. Anyway. Like I think the way this trailer even starts is like a dude opening up a chest and then like, oh, well, here, I think this is one of those bits. Walking into this gate of light and it's like, oh, what the fuck. So like, yeah, it's more physical, like, you know, mannerisms and stuff. You know, the game looks fucking fantastic. Yeah.

And it played good too when we played it. Yeah, it's all good. Played good. So... Look good. March 17th we got for that. Dope. That game's the real deal.

Yeah. Oh really? That's so nice. That's great. Man, what is this coming out of? You know what else is the real deal? What? Soon to be the real deal.

What? Minotaro is making Waifu's real. Cool. Minotaro's a good artist. Now, now, now, does anyone know? No one's heard the news? What the fuck are you talking about? Okay.

I'm so happy you guys didn't catch onto this. Is this the... Gatebox.ai. What? Maybe I saw it, but I'm not sure. This thing is a hologram communication robot that has been announced. Okay, play video. How do I make the Waifu real?

Okay, here you go. All right. I'm going to play this. Oh, Jesus Christ. Living with a hologram character, concept movie. So yeah, the website is gatebox.ai. Watch this with us, why don't you? You've got businessman.

Yeah. Opening a door. Opening a door. Looks like he's coming home. Coming home. Long, long day. A hard day. He loses up the time.

He puts down the key with a Gundam on it and his hologram wife. Long day in the random factory. Lights up. And welcomes home. Oh, Kairi Nesai. She's like, hey, what up? What's going on? What you like me to set the bath for you?

I want to watch a TV. Oh, let me put something on for you. It is a hologram device and a cylinder sitting on your table and it controls your devices. That part's not real. That part's not real. That's fake. That's CG. There's a part where she's all life-sized and holding out a glowing orb and it's bullshit.

That shit's bullshit. Team real. Team real. But it's what Minotero wants to believe. Yeah. Minotero's a good artist. But what you do have is this design for the first demo wife that you can get. I believe her name is Sikaru or something like the Mikaru or whatever.

Anyway, this is a device that in theory would have different characters and it's an alarm clock and it's everything and whatever. Great. Looks like some kind of home connected device. Exactly. And it has face recognition and all the other shit. Man, I'll never understand why Japan's birth rates are so low. So like one of those fancy advanced, yeah, like home control devices where you can control

the heating and the TV and the lights. But there's an anime girl on it. Yeah. I say this. Love plus wasn't enough. I say this without exaggeration. Love plus was never enough. I say this without exaggeration.

That wasn't a question. I say this without exaggeration, sarcasm or mockery. This device is going to kill people. People are going to die. Well, I feel really bad that that guy left his apartment and his real wife is not getting fucked in the next room. So here's the important part where it's like, I was saying, you think it does, they don't. The joking aside, you translate this with Google Translate and it describes the user

as the husband. So it's official terminology, just so you're aware. Yeah. We've got... God, Minotaur is a good artist. We've got the waifus. This is going to kill people. Coming to life.

Join the gate box. They'll ruin your waifu. Gatebox.ai. That's neat. But it's so banal, it wouldn't even buy one because it's useless. If you get... Yeah, because you're not pathetic and lonely. No, no, sorry.

To be clear, because I don't have a house that has a TV and lights and stuff that are all hooked up. You're a smart stove. Yeah, that are hooked up like that. Yeah. I talked to my smart stove a while. I bet... White waifuchan empty my catheter bag.

I'm not hooked up that way. I hope that if you buy two of these, if you come home one day, one of the cylinders will be wrecked. Yeah. Just trashed. Yeah, just trashed. The dead hollow waifu on the ground. Yeah.

Okay, but what if you come home and the boss welcomes you home, soldier? And her... And her... And that's cool. And that's cool. And she's like, get ready, I'm going to fire this Davy Crockett. She wouldn't rather come home and it was an MSF soldier calling you the boss. You're right.

Yeah, you're right. But the fun of having a character that could do a thing... That's fun. Right? And if it gets supported by developers and people that do things with it, it could be a fun idea. Definitely. There's two things I can see here.

One, this is the prototype until the full giant cylinder revolution that you put in your living room. Right? I don't remember what company it was, but they announced a human-sized anime figure the other day. I saw that. And the second thing is when the DLC gets announced, the Disney pack where it's Tinkerpell or the fucking Evangelion pack where Rey just cries at you.

No, she doesn't even cry. She just stares at you. Or the sink it with your Oculus button. No, that's not good. That's not good. That's not good. That's bad. Is it?

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. All right. We're getting there. And speaking of... We're all going to die. We're getting there.

And Oculus... Speaking of, Apple just hired a super big top name VR researcher, and there's a possibility they might be joining the VR war. I'm shocked that it's taken this long to... Yeah. Do you think this would be something they would have jumped on a while ago? I can't believe Apple was not like... Apple seems like the kind of company that when new tech like this gets invented, they

say fuck it, spend the money and buy a bunch of people up so that they're there first. I'm excited to see them fucking blow this like they did with the Apple TV again. Yes. I'm also excited for that. I can't. I'm so disappointed by how hard they blew the Apple TV. Yes. Maybe if...

Even I'm disappointed. I didn't even care. Yeah. It's fucking shit. It's embarrassing. Embarrassing. Like totally embarrassing. Well, it's the kind of thing that Steve Jobs would have...

Tim Cook... Fucking... ...is no Steve Jobs. Yeah. Yeah. He eats his... We don't need a... He eats normal food.

He eats normal food and doesn't kill himself. Fuck man. I don't want a proprietary controller for Apple devices. It's so annoying. It's so frustrating. You'll be good with those Android controllers. I know this has nothing to do with games, but that rumor that Apple is going to fucking do away with the headphone jack is the most insane fucking thing I've ever heard.

You fucks think you're so good. What? You're going to make your own headphone jack. You're going to make your own headphone jack. A technology that was perfected like 50 fucking years ago and has no flaws. Why? So you can shave a millimeter off your fucking phone? Yeah.

Holy shit. Yeah. Now it's worth it. Uh... Oh god. That is the most arrogant fucking... Yeah. No, I know.

They'll save five cents. All right. No, it costs more. They'll save five cents. But then they sell it for 180 bucks. Yeah. All right. Oh my god.

Sugar warning Apple products. What else we got? We got things that are going to arouse the passions. Arouse the passions? Arouse the passions. All right. Let's get our... What?

Teenage Mutant Platinum Turtles. Yeah. We'll be announced tomorrow. Today. It's the official leak. It's the official leak. The official... See?

That's fine. Yeah. You... You called yourselves out. Turn into it. I... Officially... That's fine.

I felt a bit validated that they didn't quote-unquote brush it under the carpet and tell you not to look. I don't know. I'm glad that they did that. I think this is literally the best thing that could have pops... Yeah. They worked it in. It's even got a little video of like liquid leaking out of an air.

Because I always appreciated it. I forget what E3 it was where like a bunch of Sony stuff got leaked and I think it was Jack trying to say, not everything you've already seen is going to... There's news that like... So I want to point out that was multiple E3s. PSX last year as well where Adam Boyz walks out for Street Fighter IV what you expected something different and then after it was... Yeah.

No Sony is a leaky boat. Like I still say the best of all time is Ray Aminez working over on Capcom Unity when the HD Remix sprites first leaked and he just went, fuck it, here's everything. Here's the project, here's what we're doing, here it's all out there. Well there's no... What's the point? That one like there's no walking back for it and the worst ever goes to whoever was doing the ad campaign for Ultimate Marvel 3.

Sure. Yeah, that was a fun one too. The head deepest in the sand but like goes to whoever the hell that was. The frustrating and the bad part was how there was a part of that HD Remix blog entry where he had to explain why the Blanka sprite had a bunch of pink around it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it really wasn't done. People just didn't get it and they're like, this is awful and ugly and garish.

My Blanka is in pink. And it's just like... Yeah, that was Matt saying that. That's another layer. That's how it looks when you export for web and devices. Anyway. The only part that sucks is that since this is so razor towards like this is tomorrow. Yeah.

Today for us we can't talk about it today and what it looks like so. Let's pretend. Oh man. I'm very excited. It looks pretty good. A platinum game with a lower budget but still looks really fun. I'm disappointed that the multiplayer mode I was hoping for was not announced. Yeah, I was really hoping for an Anarchy Rains style versus multiplayer.

The mode that I wanted. You might have it for all we know. Real talk though. I hope it's like a little open world. That's what I'm... Yeah, I'd prefer that too. I really, really hope that it's a secret Anarchy Rains too. Something like that.

That's like my deepest... And because it's Turtles there's an excuse to have the soundtrack be mostly hip hop for some reason. Yeah. Oh yeah, you're right. That'd be nice. That'd be really nice. Doja Rains.

Doja, what you been up to? Nothing. I'm waiting for Platinum's call every night. But besides the title track I hadn't even thought about the fucking soundtrack. It'd be really nice if we got another like rap soundtrack. It would so be. It would fit. Yeah.

Why is the best hip hop soundtrack in video games from a Japanese company? Yeah. Two times in a row. Yeah. So good. Doja Rains. I would even be okay if like tonight what? Cross.

Yes. Vanilla ice? Yeah. Go Ninja, go Ninja, go. Anyway. Revengeance. I was going to say like I'd be fine if today we can at least get like a little feedback. Maniac agenda.

Maniac agenda. Written down. And then the trailer tomorrow just because like I'm actually more interested in like the modes and all the multiplayer stuff. Let me try that again. Yeah. Doja Rays Cross Maniac Agenda. And what happens is the first thing of the first words of the power vocals that come

in are Doja Rays. Like that's the only reason I can remember because his name of Mongolia is his name is the first thing in every single track he did. Doja Rays. Yeah. Every single one. Do you want to die tonight? Do you want to die tonight?

Or perhaps it depends on what turtle you pick. Yeah. Yeah. If you're a Donatello you're dead. Yeah. It's Maniac Agenda. No. And you grabbed Donatello and it's silence because he's dead.

Oh yeah. No. Donatello would listen to classical music. Yeah. No he wouldn't. He listened to Techno Hit. He listened to Techno Hit. Yeah.

You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. Enka ballads. Yeah. You're right.

This is his kind of thing. All right. This next story. My number nine has been delayed till spring 2016. Moving on. Hold on. Hold on. Let's.

I have nothing to say. I just I have one thing to say and that is just. So here's the thing. It's just. Actually here's the thing that it's being delayed for the online modes that a lot of people don't really care about and then they're just like why don't you just delay these all. No.

That's not my thing. I can tell you why right now. I cannot. This is one delay where it's like I'm not going to defend this. No. Stand by the fact that the game is probably still going to be fun when it comes out. But this is dumb because Shovel Knight was in the exact same situation. Kind of.

And they released without it. The only difference that Shovel Knight was only on like three. There is two. There is a key difference. Three. I'm not just saying this for some like bullshit devil's advocate. No. I want to know.

Shovel Knight was never planned to launch with the multiplayer. This game was evidently planned to launch. It was part of it. It's also worth noting they're launching on seven platforms at once. Yes. Three of which are PC, but four of which have compliance and submission costs associated with them. As I know.

And thus the costs of each submission are probably near if not over a hundred thousand. So if they take away the MP and they submit without it, God forbid they find a new error. But then they also have to resubmit again with the MP. And that's that's literally wasteful spending. Yeah. They'd be spending an extra one. You're totally right. For nothing.

And it's shitty. You're totally right. Two weeks away from its release date, that seems like it like that's like a compliance bug. Remember, this is does, but even then that's like so cutting it close to when it would be released. But the push if it was just if it was just a compliance issue, hold up, hold up, I got it.

I got it. I got it. Go ahead. Yeah. If it was just a compliance issue, it would not be a multi month delay. It would just be a pushback to the next submission. But this is pushing from February to spring. This is evidently because they have to fix it on every platform and also that has.

Sorry. Go ahead. Because the part that's like, oh, it's like, yeah, that happens. But that's this is why they delayed it to now from October. Right. Right. So and it's it's like, so now we're up to a half year delay. Yeah.

No, the original release date was April of 25. No, I mean, for just this problem is a half year delay. My thesis statement on this, I don't know if it's going to be that long. My thesis statement on this pretty much is like, when we're looking at a situation like this one where you're forced into the worst possible situation because the last story, the last story before this one was, I thought you meant the RPG was in a funne saying, uh, I'm sorry, this is the last delay. We promise there will be no more delays.

Yeah. And it's really unfortunate. This has to happen. So when you see this type of thing happen, it's a good thing. I would say I will cut my head off with a chainsaw if it's delayed. Different person. But okay. It could be worse.

This is and it's a con. It's back to the source where we're, let me get this was announced today, right? Were they did crowdfunding for a different project closed yesterday? No. Oh, okay. So at least they didn't do that again. Over committing. Well, I mean, wouldn't it lead you to believe that maybe that wasn't because of that then

as in like retroactively now we can kind of say, well, maybe that wasn't because of another project. No. My issue was never that it needed to be delayed. My issue was always that they had hid the delay until the crowdfunding thing had finished. Oh, sure. Okay. Uh, over committing, over committing.

Now that looks way worse even now. Yeah. Seven, seven, like seven platforms is something that only like Activision and Ubisoft and or Deep Silver for their licensed products. Deep Silver. Yeah. Is publishing this game. Oh, sure.

But I mean, they're not developing it. Is that what I mean? No, but that's that this is part of the reason they, they said. Hey, look, we got a publisher. So the publisher can help out with stuff. Yeah. Okay. But the publisher is not staffing up Inti Creates who's like a sub 100 person team making

like four games right now. So I think they went for too much from the baguette from the get go and a clear sign of that is the Vita and 3ds versions are coming later in the first place that we already knew that that that was already known. Those are shipping later. The unbelievable amount of content, the new game plus turbo mode, making of documentary boss, rutch challenge mode, online co-op support character, online battle race, optional retro track, every platform getting it under the sun.

And then later on the announcements of, well, I mean, it's not really counting to dev time, but give the manga, anime series, live action movies and things like that, like all these things that kind of the game is legitimately huge. It is ridiculous. It is huge. And it's just kind of like the extra like the extras that obviously don't really count towards what I'm talking about. But it is a commitment to something way bigger than they probably should have took it.

I just interest some of these things to add them in later. And the reason why it makes me grab my head is because it's such a simple concept. It's Mega Man done again. And the gameplay has that already there. They did it, right? And it feels good to play. It does. So you just need to deliver that.

And when people feel that and it's good, you have then the sky's the limit because you're back. But the front loading of this stuff and now the delaying of it. That's why Shovel Knight, that's why Shovel Knight just delivered the main game and it was great. It sucks. All that other stuff later. It's shitty because like now looking at it, now that we've because hindsight's 20-20,

now that we've seen all these delays, it's like, would have been nice if they did it like Shovel Knight where they rolled it out like chunk by chunk by chunk of content. And every chunk would be a win. Instead of, yeah, every chunk would have been a huge win because there's people who legitimately, I mean, I'm not persecuting them, but they believe that the core game's not finished and that's why it's getting delayed, like to stealth, like finishing the core game. Do you think that's kind of the Japanese mentality and that's how they kind of, we have to deliver everything?

Do you think that's why they kind of do it? Maybe. It might be, it might be. But I know that ever since I've touched it, I've defended this because I know the game's going to be fun. I just, I can't. It's just such a huge bummer. So they're entering into a new problem and you can probably hear it when I talk about

it. And not in what I'm saying, but the tone of my voice, it's been so long and this is so frustrating that I and many other people are becoming unreasonable and like you had a lot of interesting things to say, Liam, I really don't care anymore. No, sure. I understand. Especially because it's about, it's all, it's always about faith. Yeah.

It's always about faith. And I was out at the last delay. Sure. I was completely out, especially since I especially think now that that was really shady. If it needed this much delays, hiding that delay announcement the last time until their other Kickstarter thing was over was bullshit. And now, like even if they came out and broke down the exact specifics of how it all happened, they were more thorough this time than any other time.

Right. They were. But even if they came out and did like the technical analysis and they showed here's where it's broken, et cetera. They almost told us what the bugs were. Yeah, exactly. I don't care anymore. I just don't care.

The unreasonableness is at such a, like, you know, obviously everyone knows how I feel and the last time we spoke about it, I made a fool of myself because I do believe what I said, but I got way too emotional about it because I was so, like, furious. The unreasonableness is ridiculous. Like websites, like, well, various subreddits, including our own, NeoGaff, et cetera, places where you would normally get somewhat reasonable discussion look like 4chan. And then 4chan is a whole other level where it's kike starters and like. So here's the thing.

Here's the thing. You know, like. The Facebook post, this is just another thing, like, it's like almost to sort of like double punch Dan when you click because I saw it on someone posted on Facebook. It's to the official Mighty No. 9 blog, right, where they have the breakdown of it. But the description text beneath on the Facebook post is the first post that a comment, a commenter made. Right.

And the first post is, I wish I could get my money back. I wish I never back to this project from Mighty Number, whatever, whatever, whatever, you know. I think that's the first thing I read when it was like, when the article title was like Mighty Number 9 delayed again. And then that and so that this is where I'm at a weird place are going to be clicking on that. I still like, I think you and me are in the same boat where I still have trouble empathizing

with that because it's like, would you like, would you rather a busted game? So at very least the game is going to come out, it's going to be finished, probably going to be polished. But man, oh man, did they fuck up. So you're going to have to come with me fucked up. They fucked up. It's just so unfortunate on all ends. When you say it's a busted game and I'm always concerned about that too, but like at least

from their explanation, it's like for an additional mode that you could, you know, you could do separately if you want to. It's too late to strip it now. No, it is. It is. It is. Well, that's you delayed it the first time to fix it. Well, that was a different time.

Even then it was too late. Yeah, I know. But I mean, if you delayed it to fix it and then you stripped it out, then why did you delay it? Right? Like it should have, if you were going to strip it, it would have been like five months ago. Right.

Yeah. And there probably isn't a point to it anymore. It's an interesting thing because so many kick stars face the opposite problem where you just don't have enough money and your project fails and then it's the exact opposite where you have too much money and you have to spend it over ambitious. So you have to spend it on like modes and things and all this stuff. And then there's a whole other issue. So Street Fighter V delayed till June.

We want to get story mode in. Okay. You know? Yeah. It's like that type of feeling. I didn't, I didn't fund that game. Yeah. You know what?

Yeah. That's fucking fine. There's that part of it. But it's also literally mo money, no problems. But I just, you know, and it was like Liam said, it was planned from the start as opposed to the Shovel Knight situation. But like as soon as they hit the goal. But as far as the race goes, it's like Shovel Knight came out and it was fantastic.

And then we got the extras. There is a bit of mental gymnastics that I would like you to come with me on, Liam? And then we got a role. Yeah. Absolutely. Shovel of like Vitriol and all that, that's always absurd because the internet, right? But because of the path that we took here, I don't think it is unreasonable that people became unreasonable after this long.

You know, people are always going to feel like the world's out to get them. So I see why people are like this. And there's, there's more emotions when you're putting your money up front. Obviously. I put my money down on it too. Right. This is the nature of the crowdfunding beast. And this is something that I think everyone should have known before they started their

kickstart, before anyone did, because it's the nature of people is that to a degree, it doesn't matter. Like if, if enough time goes on with enough delays and enough things that even appear to be, you know, not above board, then this is going to happen. Like one-to-one. Star Citizen gets to dodge it because Star Citizen keeps putting out modules all the fucking time. And look, we added gravity and we did fucking this.

I just find it crazy that like in a world where like Clang came out, got a bunch of money and nothing came of it. Boy, that's a tragedy. Where like Yogg Ventures was a huge disaster. Yes. It was a minor disaster. Project Phoenix, a game which I backed. I backed Project Phoenix and the unsung story.

Like those games are never coming out. That game, that game I'm not afraid to say is a fucking mess. They're never coming out with those two. I am like completely unfazed by delays because it's like, well, it'll come out eventually. Well, for those things, I threw up my hands and when I say that they're never coming out, I throw my hands up and go, well, I was a gamble that I lost. I wrote this off. I wrote that off.

No one would be super different if I didn't play it. And the reason why with Mighty No. 9, it's so much worse than all the other ones is because part of that faith was based on emotions. Yeah. It was on a very emotional pitch that had to do with Mega Man basically. And when you use those emotions to help you get money, those emotions come back on you if this happens. In all fairness, I don't particularly care for Mega Man.

I backed $20 or whatever it was to get the game. Yes, I backed $20 also. But Bloodstained for me was the one where I put $500 in. But you see where it like... Yeah, absolutely. And you made a bargain with the devil and you're late on your payments and now the devil's pissed basically. And the devil doesn't care why you're delayed.

I'm not confused where it comes from. And no matter what happens here, Unifune's goodwill money has been spent forever. For a long, long time. And I'm in a slightly different position where I think I put in over $100 on my number nine because I wanted the physical art book thing. And I love Mega Man and I played the beta and I felt the exact same emotions I felt when playing Mighty Gunvolt is like, oh, I don't actually like this all that much. I don't get it.

I don't feel anything at all. It's not particularly fun to me. At least in the beta, maybe I need to play more levels and bosses and stuff. So when I hear about this news, I'm like, yeah, it generally sucks and they fucked up or whatever this they should have thought of a different strategy. At the end of the day, I'm like, I'm not even looking forward to the game based on my hands on right now. Sure.

I want to be proven wrong. I am currently, in terms of the game, I'm at point zero right now because I've heard you guys play it and you guys liked it. I've heard Matt play it and said he didn't really like it. And there's all this frustration. So I'm totally neutral and I'm not excited for the game to come. I'm not like, oh, no, I'm super bummed out by this delay. It's just like, yeah, when it comes out, it'll come out and you'll see what happens.

And to a degree that that comment about I wish I had never backed it, it's like, I wish I had never backed it so that I would not be involved in this situation so that I could just look at it, come out and hit a button and be like, oh, that's cool. I would never say I wish I never backed it. I would always say I wish they didn't make these mistakes. I still would want to back it. You don't have control over them making mistakes, but you did have control of yourself. Just after this kicks again, like hindsight's 2020 and if they knew about these problems,

they wouldn't encounter them. You know, I don't want to say it's a hard, fast rule, but I think a lot of people, like not to sound mean, don't deal with the reality of how game development works very well and the problems that come because there's a lot of problems. That's right. I'll agree with that. It's a hard, fast rule, but if you're planning a Kickstarter that turns out as elaborate as this one, has many modes and stuff, I think as a soft rule, definitely consider a Shovel

Night approach of chunks of content. Even larger games did things like that, like Project Pillars of Eternity. Even titles that turned out great, like Pillars and stuff, you still saw people yelling and cussing because the game was so far. It took so long. It took a long time. Because you were getting it from before in creation. Pillars also didn't ship with all the features that they were supposed to, or they actually,

they lobald the features that were in the game. So one of the biggest features in Pillars that's not there, or wasn't there, I know, is that AI party control. Your party would not do anything, and that's a classic staple of all those old games. Right. People were very disappointed. So if things go well, we'll let it, and they did. They did in a recent update.

But not at the time. And, like, you have to plan for a certain amount of failure. You have to assume a certain amount of failure. And it felt like everybody at Mighty No. 9, and what, I don't know, but they all thought everything was going to go great. And it didn't. And it's a shame. And now everything's busted.

It's a shame because, like, generally they don't, they haven't had any problems shipping anything in the past. They can only imagine if they committed to this type of online suite to gunvolt instead. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, well. It was way higher. Was gunvolt crowdfunded?

No. No, no. Then fine. It's allowed to suck. Yeah, exactly. Crowdfunded games are not allowed to be bad, basically. Okay. That's a tough one, too.

We've got, um... Yeah. Yeah. That's a tough one. That's a tough one. That's a tough one. It is. People want it on time.

They want it as good as it's ever been. They want it to look great. They want it to sound great. They want it to be cheap for themselves, and they have this bizarre obsession with it coming in under budget, even though it doesn't actually matter to the end-users. And that's the deal you make. It's not a quant... It's not a...

It's a... It's a fucking... It's an octagon. Yeah. Pick two. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

It's not a triangle. And if you don't want to be held up to those relatively unreasonable standards, don't crowdfund something. Yeah. Yeah. So, we have... We have some cool movie news. We've got the...

Movies aren't cool. The Godlike. They're great. The fucking... How Godlike is this story? How Godlike is it? Godlike title. The sequel to What We Do in the Shadows, aka the Flight of the Concord's vampire movie.

It's the side story about the werewolves. Yeah. Because in the first movie, there's a band of guys, Kiwi werewolves. Right. They steal the show. There's a sequel plan called... W.E. Apostrophe R.E.

Wolves. That's strong. Werewolves. That's really good. Like... Like... That's really good. Like...

Now, don't swear, because in this house, we're not werewolves. We're werewolves. Like choking the level dad humor. Yeah. Yeah. Were... Were... We are wolves.

All right. So, somebody's dad wrote that. In England, I believe it's actually pronounced werewolves. That's the word it sounds like. Somebody's dad was watching the telly and came up with that shit. I rewatched what we do in the Shadows of the Friend, and I laughed just as hard. We've got the confirmation pretty much that Jaden Smith is static shock. Matthew doesn't care.

Great. Can't wait. Will Smith's reach is wrong. The DC Cinematic Universe continues to strive for new heights. He's in Suicide Squad. He probably just got it. Like, what do you... What you got for Jaden?

Yeah. What you got? Do we really? Got static shock? Who the fuck's that? Fine, he'll play it. But how can static shock be real if his eyes are real? Most trees are blue.

In static shock, is it a movie? Why does static shock look so worried all the time? Yeah. He's worried that he'll fade away. We've got... Let me... I'll just read this. Please read it.

Just read it. Alright. I don't know if Liam had time to read this. Kevin Smith's Yoga Hozers, which stars Johnny Depp as a Quebec police detective, who's enlisted by two convenience store clerks, played by Smith and Depp's daughters, Harley Quinn Smith and Lily Rose Depp, will world premiere tonight at Sundance. Keep going a little bit. In Yoga Hozers, Colleen Collette and Colleen McKenzie are the TV's besties.

They're teenage besties from Winnipeg, who love yoga and live on their smartphones. But when the sophomores get invited to a senior party by the school hottie, the Colleen's accidentally uncover an ancient evil buried beneath the Canadian convenience store. Now read who else is in it. Yoga Hozers, the Tusk spin-off, also stars... Oh, it's in that universe! Yes. Michael Parks, Justin Long, Hailey Jolazmi...

Wait, Justin Long? Also... Chris Rodriguez, Ralph Gurman, and Harley Morenstein. From Epic Mealtime. Yeah. They're an Epic Mealtime guy. Yeah, absolutely. Tony Hale, Natasha Leon, Austin Buller, Adam Brody, and Tyler Posey.

And Jason Muse, of course. Of course. Dang. This came out of nowhere. No one knew about this. Yoga Hozers. Like Tusk. Tusk is a movie.

What the fuck is this movie? It stars Johnny Depp, and he plays a Quebec wallop. And his daughter. That's awesome. So, we have... Crazy. We have Edward Scissorhands. We have the Mad Hatter.

We have all these imaginative, goofy characters. And in that new roster... Matricul728. It's Quebec Wakeup. Oh, man. I love it. Also shocking is like Kevin Smith named his daughter Harley Quinn. Yeah.

I do know that one. That's not all that shocking. The balls actually do. He got her the Suicide Squad bat with Harley Quinn used, and she was like freaking out and crying. My dad's a massive nerd. You know why they call us Hozers? I don't, actually.

I actually have no idea. Because of how... I imagine it was from the... I thought that was invented by the Mackenzie Brothers and WX case, whatever the fuck that is. Because Canadians are all they do is they go out back when it's cold and they hose down their ice skating rink. They spent...

I know that. Makes a lot of sounds. That's good. That's good. Can I throw a minor news story onto the docket? Yeah, make it snappy. Sure, sure. So you remember a while ago I spoke about a company called Limited Run Games who were

doing limited runs of indie games? Last time I spoke about them, it was too late. Their game had already sold out the week prior. I know a lot of people were like, well, fuck, should have told us a week earlier. So here I am telling you a week earlier. On the 29th, they're going to be selling 2,000 copies of both for PS4 and Vita Saturday Morning RPG, which is their next one, and they're going to do Cosmic Star Heroine after that.

It's coming. All right. Good luck. Well, yeah, it's only like 2,000. We got... And this is just... Leash products. An announcement and one magazine scan of this, but it's a project...

It's a game called Dragon Ball Z Project Fusion. Yeah. And everyone... It is confused. It is exactly what it sounds like. It sounds super fun. I love the idea. Moving on.

Everyone confused. Broly and Goku fusing. We can finally do Broly. No, there's a thing of Gogeta and Vigito fusing. Yeah. What? That would be Vigito. Yeah.

Yeah. Go Vigita. That's great. What if Broly... Go Gito. What if Broly fused with Broly? Broly. What's his goddamn name?

Mr. Satan. No, the other Broly. Dr. Slump. Fucking genetic Broly. Spa Man. Bio Broly. Bio Broly. It would be Bio Broly.

Yeah. It seems like it's almost going to be like a monster collecting game with all the DBZ characters fusing. I'll play that. It sounds fucking fun. Bio Broly is the green one. I know. I know.

It sucks. Broly 3. Fuck Broly 3. Bio Broly and Broly would become Bio Broly. Bulma plus lunch. Bulch. Oh, Plague. What are you doing?

That's disgusting. What are you doing? Yeah, Plague. Where's my Bulchart? He's already on it. They stole your idea that you stole from them. Yeah. We've got the fact that Twitch apparently banned Love Sick and we don't know why.

The game's not even out yet. Well, luckily when he changes the name to Love Sick for real, it will no longer be banned. For anyone who doesn't remember, that's the Yandere Simulator. We talked about it last week. No, I know. But just put it out there, because I know. I made shit it to my girlfriend. She was like, which game?

I'm just going to be calling it Love Sick. Love Sick. That's to it. Call it Banned. Banned already. Banned. Banned. For some reason, hatred banned as well.

I don't know. How can you ban art? Exactly. I don't know. Lots of people ban art really easily. How can you ban digital art? You're actually right. Digital art.

It's actually super easy to ban art. In 100 years, hatred will be in every museum. Yeah, so it's fine. How about Volition banning art? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's fine. How about Volition banning its own creation? Yeah.

Saints Row Undercover for the PSP was fucking canned and this game almost was destroyed without a trace until one of the guys saw a PSP dev kit that was almost thrown out. And said, huh, what's in that? Looked at it, saw a build. And they showed it on Twitch. And then they said, not yet. And then they're like, then they had a meeting and they're like, can we show this off? They're like, no, we can't show this off.

Okay, I'm going to show it off. They're like, no, we're going to show it off though. And they're going to stream it because they're like, you know what? Fuck it. Yeah. Look at this. Do you see that version of Battlefront? Yeah.

Yeah. The 360. Managed to get out somehow. Yeah. I had friends who tested that back at Wonder. Fuck. How that got out. Yeah.

I don't know. So that that that PSP dev kit, which I don't know if they were allowed to show on camera, but they do. But they did anyway. Yeah. That was what I had to walk through the airport with and get through security and like it was a nightmare because it just looks like a fucking bomb. Yeah, it does.

It's a bomb. It's got cables and shit. It's a dev kit bomb. It's even got a UMD slot just like bombs. Yeah. So I can watch hits on my bomb. They put out a little five minute teaser and Chip Cheezum is going to be there doing voice. Of course he is.

Of course he is. Awesome. That's great. The teaser is really well produced and I believe it's on the 28th at 5 p.m. Eastern. They're streaming it. Cool. That is the weirdest fucking thing. They're putting out a teaser to stream a game they cancel.

It's an exciting thing. Oh no. I totally agree. But that's like so fucking weird that like they would cancel it but then they would also celebrate it. Like what? Tune in. It's fucking weird.

One of the main things is almost nobody in the office knows about it because it was farmed out to another company. Oh, okay. They didn't build it internally. Okay. Very small minority. That makes much more sense. They just reviewed it and then put it on that table over there and walked away.

And last but not least, it is least actually, but it is a piece of Twitch news which might actually be relevant. The fucking coolest thing, the darkest dungeon guys put out the ancestral bestowment pack which is a list of like sub and like voice clips, voice clip noises from the narrator. Now I'm having a dilemma here. Do you think that they want their game streamed on Twitch maybe? Yeah, maybe. Just maybe.

I'm having a dilemma here because the plan as it is right now is for those who don't know, we mentioned last week we're going to be streaming. We're going to be streaming Demon's Souls. That's on the 31st of this month. On the 31st of this month at 6pm Eastern. And right now the kind of overlay and layout setup I have and stuff is one where we're trying to, we really want to be as not intrusive as possible and subtle about like things that are not gameplay on the screen.

One of those things. Because our gameplay is so good and perfect. So one of those things of course is like things like follows and subs and donations and hosting and stuff. Huck it away. So right now, well at first I asked some of the chat and like I was asking about people and the feedback I got was it was not don't have it at all but it was have it but make it subtle.

It seemed to be the overwhelming consensus. The overwhelming consensus was that. Now I'm like okay that seems fine to me and we don't necessarily need to have like you know. But you've decided that you will. Because these darkest dungeon voices are so cool. They're really good. And I'm like oh god Matt and Pat can you please point your mic at the fucking at the speaker

down there for a second. He's trying. He's pointing it. Stuff like. There's only so much he can do. Like like like. A steadfast supporter. When people when people follow.

Yeah. A new follower. They're pretty solid. It sounds almost like Starcraft S. It's too late Woolly. I move the microphone back. You can just put these in and post you idiot. Yeah.

Like. Like they had him in the recording booth and just said okay say these two. And then the last one on the list because there's some goofy ass ones and the last one is fucking great. Here. Ah damn it SoundCloud. This is the darkest dungeon. That's not appropriate for.

No. Not necessarily. Oh man. I think I want them. So if where where how do you want this feedback how do you want people to let me know just straight up let me know whether you think should we should will he stick to his guns and what everyone wanted or should you indulge his bullshit. Is that is that the way we're going to phrase it.

I think they're cool. I think they're cool. They're very cool. I really am. I'm all. If you stream darkest dungeon you have to put their very cool honey. Yes. I really do appreciate I know you want to put your stickers on our car.

I really I know it makes it go faster subtle and clean. I love subtle and clean. I gameplay above everything else nothing else matters more than gameplay. So get rid of us. Get rid of everything. But don't even pipe in our audio. Yeah. Just have our perfect gameplay of Dark Souls.

Did death. Whatever. It's the most annoying shit ever. No no sorry you don't have to say death you just have to say demon souls. Sorry demon souls. Whatever. So let me know what you guys think. And in the stream chat and I'll and I'll hear I'll get some feedback just walk over

to your window open up the window and stick your head outside and say I'm a human being and I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore and we'll hear there's some stuff and then tell Willie what some stuff on this where we just kind of do things our way but there's some stuff where I definitely want to get some feedback and this is one of those times. Oh don't tell me I don't care. Yeah. Tell Willie now one of the methods you can get in touch with me is through our podcast

mail what where is that and super best friend cast at gmail.com that Mike Mike's right like good job Mike Mike is totally right that's yes I'm Mike super I'm fuck Mike hello fuck Mike hey fuck Mike it was a that's fuck I can't even so just go to a question somebody no it's super best friend cast he's picking out the one that he put aside for us thank you good we got a question from Guillaume Guillaume says hey Pat you've said many times that you'd be willing to do anything if it meant living forever would you be willing to be the middle of a human centipede no that's much better than being a toilet let him finish the sentence is there the end of the sentence the same thing and the head of the centipede

would only eat Mayo okay well okay and he would live forever like this too no so then you won't do everything no no no let me let me once he wants to live forever in an unfettered way let me let me point out when I when I when I say I would do anything I mean I would like throw away my morality and be willing to pay like any horrible price but you want to live pay a price and be done with it right is what you're saying that's like if you're like you want to live forever strangle a hundred babies well those babies didn't need to live okay but you said you would want to be a toilet therefore people are shitting in you every day no toilets don't have taste buds yeah they do no they don't Richard wants to know

I would I would know I'm a toilet and I wouldn't be able to see but I could think that's better than nothing Richard hawk wants to yeah yes this is my actual name oh that's shut up that's great that's great everyone's got scars how'd you get yours so I gotta I gotta I gotta I a big scar that runs from my hairline on the right side of my head back I don't like three or four inches and that is when I was three or four years old I was standing on a big bird Sesame Street play table and my brother just straight up told me hey you know you can fly if you jump off you gotta put your arms all the way out to the side and really believe it that'll work and it'll totally work it no wait that's how I bust my teeth

no we were playing my brother and I were playing Superman in the in the in the the basement and Superman I didn't know you're such a huge Superman I wasn't but you know you grab you grab the little brother's wrists and you spin around it feels like you're flying and then mom and dad called us for dinner and he was like got it and let go and then I like hit my head on the corner of like a old grandma table you're done it busted that shit open good good like when I when I was a lot younger I two years ago yeah basically no but when I was in high school I I skateboarded a lot really that's the end of that story you love your dad yeah I haven't done it in years to modify your fan art now when you're skating

you're getting older all the time all the time getting older all the time getting younger there was a set of five stairs that I always like to jump down and yeah and that's it and so I have this big scar on my on my upper arm yeah nothing significant that's it nothing from significant from skating for me mostly just scrapes but nothing like yeah no same except for that that's it after a soccer game for my sister's I was running towards a car to leave and there's a big suit I forget what his deal was but there's a big guy I think he was still in my school he might have been a high schooler I was running and there's like this little lip going into the parking lot yeah and he's like hey where you going and he said something to me I was

distracted you turned your head oh you pushed it pushed me a little bit in the fall wouldn't have been bad it would have been like like a five inch fall there's a bunch of broken glass are you for real in the in the thing and it nothing too bad but I fell on it on my knee ouch and it sliced my knee open ouchies and I just remember the next couple of hours of my life was just crying as I was put into a car brought right to the hospital and I was still crying I was punching out nurses because I was so like in berserker mode this is what has been described to me by my parents and they're like this man's a monster this the child's a monster he's in such pain or whatever because I just saw I just remember blood everywhere broken glass and his story yeah

and they sewed up my knee and there's still this weird little like bump and it's yeah who did you see I honestly forget who was it was some big it was it was some bigger kid and I don't remember if he was bigger and he was in my school if he was a high schooler and that's my vaguest memory no one I don't know what happened to him after that it was something like that so yeah for me Scott is she that I wish you saw as a kid at super carnival our our price chopper I guess the equivalent super carnival whatever they have in the states is like ghetto grocery store I'm riding on the front of the I was like I don't know maybe like five holding on to the front of the super mark of the cart and my mom's pushing it the whole time of course it's a big full cart so it's super

heavy yep she's I continue hanging on as she pulls it up and starts unloading it eventually weights and equilibrium does its thing flips it right over not only does it flip it over it knocks over the fat lady on the other side of me so the cart hits me in the forehead and then she tumbles right on my head and I get a big split down in the middle of my forehead which has just started to go away just now like well it only happened like last week you know and like yeah they call the ambulance blood everywhere it was pretty bad yeah well with mine the forehead cut must have been similar to yours where you get cut up there it's like whoa yeah doesn't blood like because it's like wrestling yeah that's why they go there right and then the other one was just erasing my cousins

on bicycles and I decided that we were hitting a corner that I wanted to round faster than he was you know really so I just that's a really good way to slide across the pavement so I I invented drifting you drifted all right on bicycles you you drifted all right the only problem is I invented drifting but not coming out of a drift you weren't ready uh no my ribs were though yeah and uh the flesh along the side of my pulling up a shirt I don't want to hear the word flesh in regards to injury like the length was about three ribs across nice just a patch of like pink yeah you're looking at muscle the it barely bled because it was just pink I had that happen to my leg also biking it fortunately it all healed up like and biking but like biking kills people I did do the exact same

thing and the creepiest part was like when they bandaged it it's like you're not you're not bandaging for blood you're just covering it so the flesh will heal and the fucking yellow pus that grows over it before the flesh comes back man you love that it's not comfortable that stuff's cool yeah you eat it hey so there we go it's been sitting out in the hotel for three days you fermented in a jar sniffety snaffles sends a message says hey are you sure yeah no no we're not sure of course I am is that the entire message that's the message of course I am all right Gabriel is the weakening Canadian dollar preventing you from finishing the top 10 of 2014 videos this is great this is great this is a great question yes yes apparently

it is yes it is yes let's go with that but it's out now uh yeah dude Joseph unless you're listening this monday night Joseph says deliver the worst line of dialogue from a video game well he's well he's gonna get mine go first go sorry no no no dude do yours do yours oh well I don't remember the line but you know you remember it what what's yours sorry I'm fucking cast wars I wow I really can't feel my body right now yeah exactly were you gonna say that as well no oh you weren't really that's my second that's my right I don't you're worse than I don't I was supposed to fill your dark soul with that's pretty bad that's pretty bad I don't remember the exact quote but it's it's dr. light saying we must we've immediately remember ma'am we have to go get dr. why we

like dr. why we yeah dr. why we dr. why we was best uh with with obviously like big shout outs to fucking everything in re one oh god yeah of course everything Matt look at it it's what do you think of it it's really powerful especially against living things um I I think like the one I was first most cognitive of bad voice acting in bad line delivery it's it's yeah it still goes to re zero with specifically with uh I hope this isn't Chris's blood yeah it's just the classic to me uh what do you guys think about the new Lara Croft design I do Lara Croft you mean like they're like the reboot from Rise of the whatever yeah I've grown to know of the last like you know the yeah the last two games I've grown to like honestly I think

it's totally fine I think she looks fine like it's it's good or whatever I think the voice actress is terrible giving grunts oh Camila Luddington's great no her dialogue is great her grunts are not great they're way over acted they sound super fake like it's they it doesn't work well you know she's not actually getting beat up right yeah uh I've but I've heard actors that do it better honestly I think the watch californication I think the Lara Croft is like legit fantastic like I think it's a great new design and like on top of it you know unlike with other companies they haven't completely retconned and killed the old one and it's not a younger version of the old one it's a different yeah it's a different character prime timeline and like and like old Lara as much as

she's not in the spotlight did get is still in games she's getting her games yeah uh that game's coming out again on Thursday and then the the Lara Croft series uh and lastly let's take one from Tom yeah those games too yeah or should I say red excuse me sorry because sometimes they sign as a different thing from the name I get into email so you know right anyway um with the humble over I'm thinking about getting the wwe network no do you guys think it's worth it I'm sure my one of you guys have it it's absolutely probably worth it I just wish us in Canada were allowed to get it same red we're not allowed to know because we're Canadian you had no you have to you have to sign up with rogers tv because they got the contract you can't we can't get it we're not allowed to know

because we're Canadian how much how much was it again it's nine bucks a month uh yeah that's like that sounds fair no is it I don't even know $9 it might be $9 which is which is about a hundred Canadian if it's ten bucks just based on the amount of content we know isn't it's fair if you want to watch this wrestling we watched ads for the edge in christian the edge in christian variety hour oh yeah I forgot about all those shows I totally forgot about all those extra shows I bet you it's probably great and it's probably worth it it's probably terrible if only still worth the money there was some way for Canadians to get around their region locked bad licensing deals for content I don't know if only there was only there was one there's some way there

but there isn't right now it's a shame that there isn't what's coming out the best of 20 2014 just came out already kind of depending on when you listen you heard it it just came out okay uh witnesses tomorrow yeah today I'm really Tomb Raider again did you see the fucking reviews for the witness by the way yep quite good quite a few separate two that are like really low one let's say some may say glowing yeah but like the this is something else I helped the the the I told you about them before I fucking Jonathan blows Twitter did you see that shit no he tweeted a jug full of pee this is something else I helped create yeah yeah the um drown the world and blows piss I read the top reviews and then the lower views and I skipped the middle ground what are the

low reviews as problems uh the players were stone walled by their own intelligence what do you mean the game the game is brutally stonewalling you for not being successful it doesn't tell you you're wrong it doesn't tell you you're right it's just not not sitting and you're not succeeding you know what this is a game to do in cheat no yeah oh yeah you're the puzzle fail right no I forgot about that the puzzle fail yeah that's that's you can't stand the puzzle I ended up there there was one there was only a single puzzle and braid that I had to cheat on and it was one of the magnet ones that I just couldn't fucking do it um uh lego marvel avengers comes out next week I wouldn't be too excited except that the team that made lego city undercover the 3ds one yeah

it's mostly those guys making the handheld ones so the 3ds vita versions look to be really really fantastic which is cool cool like I said earlier the the tomb of bobby yaga which is more the survival horror thing for a tomb raider is coming out today so I'm really looking for I really wonder if that's gonna come out uh with those with the games release on thursday for pc really no it's confirmed it doesn't secret final beta test for street fighter five is or I saw a distracted article it says right now it seems like a secret public announced secret publicly announced beta test for street fighter five was secret until now yeah exactly we let it the we let everything secret until they announced this is true uh as far as the channel goes we've got the best of 2014

which already went up I hope you enjoyed that Naruto Resident Evil zero everything continues uh well no metal will metal finishes and me and Liam will be starting up an LP that is starting this week it is starting this week they're they're pretty excited about because it's turning to a really good LP that we recorded once before yeah and then failed waited also a fucking awesome fisticuffs stardust vanguards yeah yeah that was fun that was fun that was a lot check it out yeah not what you traditionally call a fisticuffin but it was good whatever second or on day seems so stupid in comparison it's thank god like war tech saying it was a great game but this was the way but this was just better on all cylinders this feels like next just next level of the exact same

concept like yeah it is a different concept but it's not versus like because you're not anyway it's a whole other discussion it's not the same but yeah way better uh I think that's it was it called ah it's called bulge like like like You You
