Well, Liam, episode 134 is an interesting number.
Starting point is 00:01:00 That's the exact same way you've done it before, but it's more potent and funny now. This is next level. Now it's not clear why it's next level immediately. Not to the listeners, though. But it will become apparent why this is actually the next level. So, hey, Liam, you asked what's up with episode whatever. Well, he has an answer for you, Liam. Yes, it's her no numeric fact.
Starting point is 00:01:23 The theme is not invigorously. That you need to know about is that former running back George Reed of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders. As we know, one of the teams in the stupid league that had the same name as the same as another team. Yeah, well, these are rough riders are sure given it to these rough riders. How many provinces are there? 13. Too many so that we're 11 and two territory. Too many.
Starting point is 00:01:46 We're going to do. We got to double up on those names. Rough riders are like 10 fucking teams in the league. George Reed. Imagine if imagine if DMX showed up and he's like, no, I have a third team. The Rough Riders. Fuck it. It don't matter because the CFL has bigger balls and less downs.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Yeah, wider fields. Is that what you mean by bigger balls? No, the balls are literally big. Oh, wow. They can play faster. They inflate the balls larger. Yeah. And you have three downs instead of four.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Yeah, exactly. So you notice more when Brady tries to deflate them topical. On top of that. George Reed had a career record of 134 rushing touchdowns. Rushing touchdown. And that's a really good sports ball fact. You know, tell you what? George Reed.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Yeah, when did he leave the Rough Riders? He had a cool. Like the pitchers in black and white for fuck's sake. How old is he? He was an all star from 1965. Jesus. And I want to say that lasted till 1975. So he had a nice decade long career.
Starting point is 00:02:52 That's a good one. Yeah, it's a good one. Back in the old days when you had the old black and white photos and pretty much no helmet, really, just a glorified hat. Just an upgraded. You know, it's you know, it's for pussies helmets. Yeah. Bam.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Okay, that guy's dead. Who wants to wear a helmet? Everyone. Remember that Canadian moment commercial where this dude's taking all these pucks to the face? I think they're like, let's put this Jason mask on. You see if that works. He's like, we should actually get this to everyone.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I forget that player's name. But I remember that he got hit in the face of the puck twice or more that like nearly killed him. Yeah. And when he put the mask on nearly every single guy in the league was like, oh, that's for babies. What an idiot. Look at that loser.
Starting point is 00:03:37 And he's like, whatever. I'm not dying unlike your goalie who's out for a full fucking season because his face exploded. No, he has a cold. Hey, man, has nothing to do with it. Aiming for the head is a legitimate strategy back then. Back then strategy because then what? Who's you're going to be still is now, but you got to use the stick.
Starting point is 00:03:58 But guess what? At worse, they replaced the goalie with a not so good goalie. Yeah. And if anything, the goalie just swing in his head too. Yeah. He's going to take all these pucks to the face. And at least all that's happening is power meter is getting full and he's not dead.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yeah. Eventually you run out of goalies and then it's a free net. Yeah, free net. So actually how it works. It's like mutin link back in the day. That's the history of the face mask, everybody. Man, if the world gets irradiated, I hope the best thing that comes out of it is mutinley.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Isn't that the history of literally every mask in every sporting event? Yeah, it's all equipment. Someone just said, you know what I'm tired of? All of this damage to my face. Well, like if you take it back and I mean way back, the first sports were about taking your clothes off and being naked. Right? You know what's a good way to wrestle naked.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Yeah. Distract them. Ew. Whatever. I'm going to punch that part. You're going to pull on it. There's more moves accessible now. It's weird that we're talking about sports ball because I was actually
Starting point is 00:05:01 reading up a lot about sports ball right before we came here. I was reading on my phone about that basketball man, Stephen Curry. Yes. That man is good at baskets. You're on Twitter and you see someone that's trending. You're like, why? Yeah. No, it actually was that thing.
Starting point is 00:05:17 It was like, okay, what is this? Well, that's why we fought him in demon form in the intro to NBA 2K. Yeah. I was like, what is this? Why is this so good at making baskets? Then I saw a chart of three point averages. I was like, okay, that's... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:30 What? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That guy's on drugs, I bet. What's cool though is that in some of the later games in the 2K playthrough where it's like, oh, Rage dunked a bunch of, he sunk a bunch of baskets and whatever, but your defense was shit. You still played poorly because sometimes scoring is not all there is to it.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Yeah, no, scoring is all there is to it. Well... If you score more baskets, you win. You win, usually. You win. Yeah. You win the sports ball, apparently. Yeah, like, there's something to that where the other day on the giant bomb,
Starting point is 00:05:57 they were just like, I fucking hate people who say sports ball. And I was like, you know what? Like, I want to say it more now. No, but they're super right though. It's like, we know, we get it. You don't like them and whatever. But there's something like, I don't know. There's something super douchey.
Starting point is 00:06:13 See, here's the thing. I always get it. I always viewed it in reverse. When I say sports ball, that's putting it on me that I am ignorant to the max. That's what I assume seems like a sports ball game. I don't want anyone to get confused that if I say anything about regular sports to not listen to me because I'm an idiot. But what that's become in general is kind of like...
Starting point is 00:06:39 Like, don't just be good. Yeah, geeky culture. We don't know nothing about that. Okay, well, I'll have to think up a new... You know. I'll just, instead, just continue my general confusion over the rules. Yeah, sure. And I mean, for me especially, it's kind of like, yeah, oh, hey, sports ball.
Starting point is 00:06:53 And then someone sees a picture of me back in my uniform in the day or one of the fucking, like, trophies at my mom's house and goes, what the fuck are you talking about, Willie? But that's because that was the phase where you were trying to fit in. Oh, I was growing up and I didn't realize... I played soccer as a kid and then I realized, fuck this. I got kicked out of... Look at this Ninja Turtle game I could be playing.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I was signed up for every single sport possible and I got kicked out of all of them for fouls. For those things you did. I played one game of cricket. Cricket's fucking... Cricket was enough. Like, we're gonna... Nobody understands cricket.
Starting point is 00:07:26 We'll lock baseball for being boring, basketball for being boring, hockey for being too violent, and soccer for being filled with cowards. But I don't even understand cricket. Well, first you gotta have the wicket. Yeah. And you put the sticks up, right?
Starting point is 00:07:41 I'm done. I'm already done. Now, you have to be on the pitch and you have to bowl, right? Bowling's all right. Bowl the ball down. I'm all right with bowling. Then you have to make sure that you run to try and touch the wicket after you hit the ball.
Starting point is 00:07:55 But you have to run on the goat shit that fills the fields every couple of steps, right? Now the goat shit makes the traction harder to really get a good grip. So you gotta get those cleats going. So you get your soccer cleats on. Guys. The Grenadian goat shit, let me tell you,
Starting point is 00:08:13 will add extra difficulty to scoring when you play the cricket. So you guys may have noticed that when you come over to my house. That's how you play cricket. It's when you come up. But here's the thing about it though. Then you take the bat home, right? It's not really the bat. But you know the bat like fit.
Starting point is 00:08:31 You take it home. The Wiffleball bat. All right. It's not the Wiffleball, but then you get yourself. Softball last night. But then you get yourself. That's good. I slept like seven hours.
Starting point is 00:08:38 A Casey Jones weapon. So I have some new tech for you guys. It's a White Paddle. Life hack. Big damage. All right. So you know how my bathroom has that shower facing the toilet? Sure.
Starting point is 00:08:51 And when you turn all the lights on, you're forced to confront yourself. That's what cricket is. Yes. You're forced to confront like everything that you're doing. There's a large mirror. I was listening to the John Baumcast a little while ago and Matthew Rory, known many days of shower,
Starting point is 00:09:08 was talking about dark showers. Showers in the dark. Oh, yeah. OK. Dark shower. Are those part of the dark event? No. No, no.
Starting point is 00:09:17 And then I thought of something. You know how I can stop myself from seeing my reflection in the shower when I'm going to the bathroom? Turn all the lights off. Just go to the bathroom in the dark. It's a good, it works. I don't like going in the bathroom in the dark because there's mistakes that can be made.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Let's rewind just a little bit here. Like right, right, right to the top of that. It's a net positive. Going to the bathroom, you see yourself. OK, yeah. So my toilet in my bathroom directly faces my shower. OK. Like you've been there.
Starting point is 00:09:50 You know what I'm talking about. You sit down in the toilet and if somebody was in the shower, you'd be looking 100% straight at them. Oh, look, it's taken the shower. And if all of the lights are on in that bathroom, your reflection is clear as day in that shower. So you're in the shower door and you're seeing yourself. You're forced to confront everything that's going on.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Now, what's the problem? That's too real. That's too much. OK, but this is different than what you mentioned, which is dark showers. No, hold on. We're going to go back to our showers. Hold on, hold on.
Starting point is 00:10:25 The worst part about going to the bathroom is everything. Sure. So the more that you can distance yourself from the act and the more that you can pretend it's not happening, the better. That's a little much. Yeah. So if it's in the mat of all people,
Starting point is 00:10:42 it's a victimless crime like punching someone in the dark. Yes. Nothing bad happened because it was in the dark and you couldn't even see it. You're a lights off kind of guy, aren't you? Oh, that's not necessarily. No, that's because that's some shit. No, no, no, that's some fucking bullshit.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Look, we thought you got to grab it again. I want to go back to dark showers and dark showers. Dark showers are a little dangerous for me. That's a little crazy. It's not too bad for me, but now I've got it down. Pat, is it sometimes you wake up in the morning and it's kind of dark? Yeah, a lot of low light.
Starting point is 00:11:14 If you had like, you know, school or like somewhere where you had to be like a nine to five job. I've taken dark showers where I'm like, no, I have to fool myself into thinking the day has not yet started and the best way to make you think that the day has started is turn the lights on the bathroom. This is the first thing you do. So yeah, I want to take that bright light and you just go,
Starting point is 00:11:34 no, I want to be in this sleep mode as possible. So you turn off the lights off. But that, yeah, Pat's right. That is dangerous. So I sometimes I had a little flashlight or some type of thing and I pointed somewhere not near the shower per se, but some place to give me a point of reference. And then I have literally what could be the most like,
Starting point is 00:11:53 uh, okay, relaxing shower. You can't. Yeah, totally. And that's a dark shower. So think about this though. When you're in the like, say you're in the shower regularly, right? How often are your eyes even open? They're not.
Starting point is 00:12:07 He's totally like your eyes are like closed for, let's say 95% because you're putting poison in your hair. Yeah. No, you don't want you don't want soap or shampoo to get in your eyes and it hurts. Baby shampoo. What are you? Well, I'm a man.
Starting point is 00:12:20 No, man. No, I'm a man and I'm going to go to the bathroom in the dark. All right. No, I use baby shampoo because other shampoos are bad for dreds. I didn't know that. Okay, fair enough. So here's the threads are for babies confirmed. Now, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when,
Starting point is 00:12:36 when you slip in the shower in the dark and you can't see what to reach out to save your life and you fucking hit your head and you're bleeding out shower runs over your, your body. That's how it's going to happen. Hopefully your last thought will be, I should have turned that light on. No, it's going to be holy shit.
Starting point is 00:12:53 People are going to find my naked body. No, you know, it'd be your last thoughts going to be fair enough that no, like, like fair enough. This is appropriate. This was my design and as to your question as to lights off, lights on, lights off seat. No, that's not applicable because we're talking about things you should feel ashamed of like going into the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Uh-huh. Right. That's totally natural and fine. That's good stuff. And are you saying there shouldn't be any shame otherwise? Because sometimes some, there's shame involved in some scenarios. Well, if, you know, if you're doing it wrong or doing it
Starting point is 00:13:23 right, well, it depends. You know, it depends. Whatever floats your particular dark boat because if you're one of those people where it's like to get lights off, get the, just fuck the whole, forget the whole thing. Everybody go home. There's no point. I've reveled in all my dark showers.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Unless, unless you're one of those people, it's like, I don't even know what's in there. Just hit those, hit those lights and dive into whatever. Well, that's a whole other scenario. That's a whole different scene. That's, that's a tactical like light out. Yeah. No, it's like, it's no good.
Starting point is 00:13:55 If I can see what I'm getting into. It's the opposite of a flash bomb. Yeah. I know. Sometimes you got a dark bomb, but yeah. No, dude, the end bomb in fucking perfect time. Yeah, I know. Suck all the light out of the room to fully enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I will agree. Uh, but the thrill is somewhere else. Entirely. Yeah. No, the, the, the, the, the dark bathroom. It's a good system. All right. So how do we evolve this then?
Starting point is 00:14:21 Let's move into some dark cooking. Shall we dark cooking, dark cooking cook? That is, well, that is. Well, why stop there? Hold on before, before, before I get that knife. Hold on. Get the chopping board on the heat before we continue. I should mention that yes, the lights do have to go on for
Starting point is 00:14:38 certain like, yes, certain things to happen or else mistakes will be made and that's no good for anybody. There's limits. There's limits. Man, there's that restaurant downtown called Oh Noir here. Oh, fuck that place. I hate that place in the dark and you're served by blind people because you can live a moment just experiencing what it's like.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Hey, you know that thing? You know, that's down now. Yeah, I don't think there's, you know, that thing where they're like, Hey, I lost one of my senses. The others are stronger. That's bullshit. So, well, depending on who you are. So why don't you, why don't you push?
Starting point is 00:15:12 Why don't you push open up a hotel? Yeah. Dark hotel, dark hotel, dark hotel. And like, didn't you go to one of those for fun like six months ago? I think you're thinking of an escape room. Yeah, I'm thinking of that. Yeah, it's not the same dark hotel.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Yeah. But why stop at food or the bathroom? Why not just live that dark life? Okay. Well, food, food is like, well, that's a little, that's a little any, any knife or fire involved like, come on, let's be real here. You can't, you can't endanger yourself for the, the, the, the, the joys of comfort.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Okay. Dark comfort. Like you can't be cooking eggs in the dark. That's crazy. You can if you're crazy. I don't know, man. If you're brave, vampires have to make stuff in the dark. Yeah, but they have night vision.
Starting point is 00:15:56 It's true. Yeah. You know, and aren't you talking about like dark bathroom time, no matter what you're doing in there? No, no, that's what I, that was what I was trying to get across. It's like, no, if any aiming or if any aiming to start, like if any aiming or placement has to happen of things, lights go on. You got, cause the crosshair has to line up.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Yeah, totally. Then you can turn the lights off. Yeah, fuck it. Just, it's fine. No, that's what, come on. Then you turn the lights on, you look and you're like, oh, what do you think? I'm crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:26 I don't know. Give it a try. You'll like it. Take a dark shower at the very least. Take a dark shower. I'll take a dark shower. Here's the cra- Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I'll try a dark shower. No. Yeah. This is where I draw the line. What? The dark shower has danger elements and yet you will try that one first. That's crazy. You have been living in a certain place or you have a bathroom you're very
Starting point is 00:16:51 comfortable with. It's not like you're going to accidentally shit your bathtub. No, honestly, my biggest- Except for that one time. My biggest problem with the dark bathroom trip is I can't read my shit. Oh, yeah. That sucks. I never do that anymore ever since I dropped the phone in the toilet.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Yeah. Oh. That was a couple of years ago and I just dropped the phone right in the toilet. There's all these things. There's all these things you can do. Like all of our girlfriends. Good job. You don't make it pitch black.
Starting point is 00:17:13 You open up the door and there's a light source down there. And then you can at least have, again, a point of reference. So you know where you're washing. I actually returned that phone to Future Shot. Did you? Yeah. Here's my shit phone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:29 I had bought it that day and I was brave enough to get it. Very brave. The instant it hit the water, even though it was completely submerged. You should get a bag of rice. No, it had been before anything had happened. Yeah. I was getting ready to take a piss and I had put my phone down. I was listening to music and then I turned my head and whoops.
Starting point is 00:17:51 And then I was like, oh no. And I got it. And even though it was completely submerged, the tab hadn't tripped. So I returned it. And after I returned it, it was like, hey, is it possible to drop these down the toilet and like not have the tab trip? And he's like, no, that's crazy. That's impossible.
Starting point is 00:18:05 You put this in water at all, that tab will trip and you'd never be able to return it. I'm like, okay, cool. Wow. You're really cool that day. No, I wasn't. I dropped the phone in the toilet. That's the least cool thing ever.
Starting point is 00:18:15 No, it's cool. Don't worry about it. Everyone's saying. It was a clean toilet at the time. Oh, yeah. You say so. You think they have that like little chlorine tablet that tells you. That is exactly what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Yeah. The phones have chlorine tabs in them. Oh, so they have that. The litmus tab. Okay. So that if water hits it, that's how they tell like, you guy, guy, you dropped this in a pool, didn't you? So what, you just got lucky?
Starting point is 00:18:38 I just was fast and got lucky. I don't think that's how it works. Not fast enough, apparently, to completely avoid the situation. Whatever. I solved the problem. Yes. Now, and ever since then, you can't take anything in the bathroom. So it's a constant danger.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Or you can just do it carefully. No, you're not. No risk. Or all of our girlfriends. No risk. Wait. Do you know any of our girlfriends drop phones in our toilets? They all did.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Oh, did they? I don't know. Was this like a cabal thing where they hang out just talking about, man. Let's throw all these chopper. Drop in our, our just phones in our toilet. Something is something. No, I think we were all talking about how girlfriends drop phones. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Yes. We were mocking them for all smashing their phones to fucking pieces after the stream. Also, Liam, right? You smashed your phone. Yeah. Yeah. He smashed his phone. He smashed his phone for you.
Starting point is 00:19:26 He smashed my phone. It was for you. His phone. It was for you, man. It was an accident, though. Oh, I'm sure that's what our girlfriends say. Hey, guess what? I still don't have.
Starting point is 00:19:36 What's that? The photos from that fucking thing. Oh, great. Wow. What a champion. You know that awesome guy that we all loved? No, that guy was just- Where the fucking photos at, motherfucker?
Starting point is 00:19:47 That guy was a cunt. The ones that everyone hurt themselves to get to take- The ones that I did not get to drink and eat for while you guys were having fun? The one where the guy came up to you is like, you need to take your pants off so I can take photos of your pants. And I was like, okay. Yeah, I guess I'll have to. No, no, no, trust me.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Can I have those photos back? I don't even remember when we got married anymore. Fuck my life. Where the fucking photos? Fun fact, that guy tricked you. He just took those for personal use. No, there was no film in that camera. There was, though.
Starting point is 00:20:17 That's the problem. And he showed me the photos. He showed them to me on his camera at the time. And I go, oh, fuck. Those are good photos. He was just a guy with time to kill. I was telling him all about this. I'm like, I'm so pissed off this guy.
Starting point is 00:20:27 They hate this guy. And he shows me the photos. And I go, oh, fuck. Those do look good. I'm, but I'm not allowed to see him. No. Fuck that guy. Hashtag, where are my photos?
Starting point is 00:20:37 Where they at, though? Anyway. Liam is sick. Liam's super sick. I hope he gets better. He's got Lyme disease. But he's nobody. I should give him.
Starting point is 00:20:45 I should call him up and tell him the miraculous healing power of the dark bathroom. And then he'll be back sooner. He's doing the double sick thing, though, because the girlfriend's sick, too. And so he's got. Oh, they're bouncing off. Remind me not to go there.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Because, like, he was sick and he could make the stream. And then he came to record with us for a couple things. And by the end of it, he looked fucking dead. And I'm pretty sure, like, we knocked all the recovery out of him on that day. Yeah. So he ought to take a couple days off and just, like, just, like, eat Vita juice or whatever.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Yeah. Just squeezes Vita over his mouth. That's what you get when you don't have a big immune system gut like us. What? I don't know. Neither of us. See, well, you and I take different steps to avoid disease.
Starting point is 00:21:29 You constantly immerse yourself in it by bugs attacking you. Yeah. Well, OK. So you know how computers, I stopped turning them off because when you turn them on, that's when the problems happen. Yes, correct. I applied that.
Starting point is 00:21:41 And I tried to explain to you how, like, weird and short-sighted that was, and you had none of it. It's either turn it off every time or leave it on forever. Don't do the in-betweens. That's when it's worst, right? So I took the extreme of leave it on forever. So how does that apply to life? Well, that's how I run my immune system basically.
Starting point is 00:22:01 That is bordering on as long as I don't go to the doctor, I'm fine. Yeah. Which is my method. And it works super well. Early detection, early dissmaction. Yeah. That's what he says.
Starting point is 00:22:17 What's that lump in my balls? It's a happy face. It must be my third ball. It's a fun one. That everyone has, right? It finally descended. That happens when you turn a certain age. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Anyway, what did you actually do with your wee boy? This podcast is a mess. It's a big, fat mess. It's the good kind. Well, here you go. Here you go. I did nothing. Good job.
Starting point is 00:22:40 He worked. I did nothing but work all week. That's true. And it was good work. I got back from the MAG Fest. I did work catching up on videos and editing and shit. And I went to the gym. I did some more boxing and then I continued working.
Starting point is 00:22:57 All right. Well, I know there is something I can talk to you about. Work did play this week. And thinking how street fighter. So that's one thing I did get some time in. But at MAG Fest, like outside of MAG Fest, not really much. And you're saying there's this cool dude that was like, dude, I had a lot of matches were willing.
Starting point is 00:23:15 They're all like 50-50. Yeah. So what we did was there was like, I probably got a good collective, maybe eight to 12 hours of play at MAG Fest. And that was the only opportunity I knew I was going to get for some time. So I just took it. And yeah, I just got the right settings happening.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Whereas like I just sat down with somebody who had a main and just batted my head. But that bashed my head against them for as long as a set as we could do until our bodies collapsed. And it's like, that's how you learn a matchup. And so yeah, I got to do that and had a good time figuring what was the matchup you were playing against the birdie guy. OK, so fuck and then shit.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Then the next night I played twice as long against a Nash player. And are you for real? Yeah. Those exist. And I was like, all right, cool. God damn it. Got it. Sorted.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Great. Did you spend all your time fighting the Cowleys? No, actually, I have not played nearly as much as I thought I was going to. There's a couple reasons for that. The first of which is like the matchmaking is very improved since the first week. But it's not nearly as fast as it was during third beta.
Starting point is 00:24:24 The third beta was like 10 seconds between each match. And I was able to play like 100 matches in like two hours. It's much slower. And that'll improve over time and whatnot. But it's taking me like multiple minutes to find a match every time. And I'm spending a lot of time on my phone. So the drive to just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Starting point is 00:24:48 is not as strong in that situation. And the other reason is that there was a guy on NeoGaft who was like, yo, man, Pat, let's have some matches. And that dude is like number 400 in the world and blew my ass out so fucking hard that I got salt and haven't played it for like four days. Oh, wow. Cool.
Starting point is 00:25:02 OK. Izmica is like, it's a feeling I haven't felt in a fighting game in a while in which I know the things this character can do. But I don't understand what's happening to me right now. Right, right, right. OK. Like there's some fun stuff when we did the Secret Stream
Starting point is 00:25:18 and a couple names showed up. Kenny, I fought Kenny for a bit. That was fun. And then Steve came up to avenge my defeat of Kenny. And Steve totally did because like his reuse is super aggressive. It was fun. Also, Guardian E showed up. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:34 And I got to play him for a bit. And then like, it was funny because I was like, all right, you should rep. I don't know much represent NeoGaft to me. Show me what NeoGaft has. Guardian Ian DeBomb are the two like guys that probably exemplify that shit. And then after the set was done, like I went over to the thread
Starting point is 00:25:52 and all I saw was everyone shitting on Guardian E super hard for losing. Yeah. They're like, you fucking failed us. They will never notice this again. That's great. It was really fun. No, man.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Like all I can really say is like, yeah, it's there. It exists. And like there's a part of me where I'm going to kind of like tag into a letter that we got sent in, which was someone going like, bring back the old gimmick. How have God blighted the Zaibatsu? And I'm like, I have a blight this week. If I have to.
Starting point is 00:26:17 What is your blight, sir? And the blight is the fact that like just due to scheduling and things, the first major Street Fighter Montreal tournament happened from in Montreal the same night as the dark dead, the Demon Soul Street. I should mention that you were the one who scheduled that stream. I moved it up to Saturday because Sundays was difficult for a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Yeah, I know. I'm just saying you're the one. And I moved it up. Yeah. Well, because the announcement wasn't there at the time. Yeah. You know? Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:26:46 And and there was and I moved it up to five o'clock because, you know, Liam wanted to be able to get home and time and stuff and you guys as well. He didn't show her. So but but in the end, in the end, it was just like as a really just unfortunate series of events. And I'm like, fuck, like the ultimate like you are washed up and you're like you're like what you're like 30 years old now.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Yeah, that's it. No, but I thought that was four years ago. It's always been it's always been that's it. Like I've never expected to really go anywhere, but I just wanted to participate in the community. Now that we're adults and we have jobs and we can't participate in the community, but that means you have to coordinate with them to that you like because the stream is longer than
Starting point is 00:27:28 anything else we do almost. It is. Aside from maybe the podcast and even then that's a little so you have to coordinate and make sure that you don't schedule it at the same time as any other major you're hoping to go to. So I'm going to be trying to do that from now on. So I have like a kind of weird tie in that that fits there and it's part of the reason why I didn't play that much SF5
Starting point is 00:27:46 and it's because in my mind that game is there forever basically. Yeah. And I can it's it's all like any single day I go it'll be there and it'll probably have something new and awesome in it. But that FF 14 patch came out right now and progression on that is happening right now and I have finally taken the fucking final step. I'll hail the cult of the new.
Starting point is 00:28:09 No, I've taken the final step of like I'm in and I'm probably can't leave because I have formed like a static group that meets at certain times during the week a blood packed on on certain days to do thing to progress and if I were to say bail on that then I'm an asshole and like I'm in there now. It's a dedicated section of your life. It is a dedicated three hours to spot you have this this and this have a raid slot.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I have a static yes and once I was that I was like I was really excited to do progression for this for this this patch and then I had set it up and we all started and we're all doing it and then I realized like explaining to my girlfriend like oh yeah, no, I can't talk on the phone from 10 to one because I'm in a dark shower but yeah, no like and like those times are very very late at night because otherwise I would not be able to do it period though.
Starting point is 00:29:19 The one thing that like kind of keeps me a bit like ground and I'm like fuck I sucks that I have to work and I want to play so bad is that like I would be at least keep up with like information and news and like event hubs and SRK and there's a lot of stuff coming out and I want to go go ahead. So I was very frustrated after I got blown up and I got blown up harder than I have in years mentioned that and I was like okay community you've got resources.
Starting point is 00:29:49 I've got time what do you got and I was very frustrated with the the specific level of community resource in that people have just skipped the early bit of a giant bomb described it as like the first third of the ramp is not there. Oh yeah for sure and the first like okay Charlie it's like or Nash rather it's like counter hit setups and and frame traps like no no this isn't what I need right now. I will very much appreciate it that later I need to know and
Starting point is 00:30:25 I'm having trouble because I'm pretty sure my game plan is wrong like it's like Mike Mike yeah or what to do right what to do is wrong and this is the best it's ever been right now this is the most information we've ever had out there and honestly that video that we kept referencing back to where which is like here's how you put together a game plan. I forgot the guy's name that put that together for the Sonic move not Sonic move but it was a video that was like here
Starting point is 00:30:48 there's a guy who has a Charlie who has a soul stealing Charlie yes soul stealing Nash you type in soul stealing that channel is that some of that guy's doing amazing well those are the first videos I've seen where they're actually talking about and he's talking about here's a here's a Nash you can play that focuses on meter denial and here's a man you know and here's the deal is that for people that don't have that like ability to put it together the only place you
Starting point is 00:31:11 get you pull it from is from watching tournament so here's the deal and this is why I want to give big ups Capcom may have skimped out on a few features during its initial release but if you go to Capcom's YouTube channel those eight minute videos those eight minute videos are exactly what I needed they are they go over the good normals that the prior the general I did shit dude it like I watched I watched the Nikali video right away official yeah and and the guy
Starting point is 00:31:41 is talking like Nikola Nikali's jab is terrible yeah and it's like I needed this I needed a simple overview yeah to get my head in it the other thing I did was I bought the digital Prima games guy I also did the same thing I haven't opened it yet but I hear good things it is it's quite good yeah so and it does the same it has all your frame data for normals and that's not for me anyway it's not like I'm gonna dive in and be like this is this I could beat this but it's it's in
Starting point is 00:32:12 situations in which I can go okay I'm being blown up by Mika let me ask somebody and I they will tell me they will say her her drop kick when she hits you is plus five on block right yeah so you need something faster than that and I will go to Birdie and I will go what do I got and the answer is nothing and at least I know that now the fact the funny thing is that when you started it by saying like you'd go in and you'd see the second half of the ramp which is yeah counter hit setups
Starting point is 00:32:43 and frame traps and you're just like what and it's like that's not what you need right now I need I need it to me I'm like I want I go straight there because that those are the building blocks for everything else but everybody has a different but yeah you just you need to understand I need I need a overview that I can plug things into yeah and and once I have that yeah fine whatever I'll practice my execution part of the reason why the third first the first
Starting point is 00:33:09 third of the ramp is missing is because the FTC like again with all these resources out there's a part of it where it's like you got to do some of the work yourself is kind of how a lot of people feel and a lot of there's a lot of people that are like inventors right and like there's others that wait for characters to be quote-unquote invented yes and I fall very strongly on the second half yeah and even when I talked about Hearthstone like I was talking about using
Starting point is 00:33:35 pre-built decks and stuff like that and the first half is the virtue for a lot of people for that oh absolutely I wish I had that mentality if you think about Rufus before J Wong started the dive kick nemesis you know game plan there was just a whole lot of Jesus kicks and that's all we got you know but then he invented Rufus proper you think back to pre-Corota Q in which Q is not worth picking yeah and then and then Corota just blows everyone up or pre-Aegis reflector
Starting point is 00:34:07 you're in it's like oh this character is alright I guess what no this character is the best that's exactly it waiting for it to be invented and you're in the early game so very early so you're so you're never you're not going to see anything close to a complete character just yet you're going to see ideas of game plans and the ideas and that's all I want until yeah and so if you're like me and you kind of need a little bit more go to Capcom's channel those videos
Starting point is 00:34:35 eight minute videos are really fantastic for for for baseline overviews and they're slickly produced only I'd say about them guide guide doing the voice act the voice over pretty tired sounding yeah pretty pretty pretty uninterested you need that rock star documentary video game guys no the most interesting guy and no no no rock star video it should just be combo fiends like he's busy yeah I'd sense but I thought we were talking about bringing back the guy from the Street Fighter
Starting point is 00:35:06 two tips video no I mean Mr. Serlin how like no the guy that big the guy that was like no it was Tomo was with him 90s kid but 90s kid going like oh my name is Yonda yeah watch out for my 100 and slap we did this last time and then and then I and then I talked and I you know I do all this I'm talking to the guy who blew me up and he's like and then at the end of the conversation he's like well don't feel bad I've been playing the cracked beta for like eight months oh yeah I'm like well
Starting point is 00:35:32 fuck off no no no those guys are getting called out on every stream so you guys don't know sword art but there's a term for these people it literal exacter and they're called winners yeah okay they're beta testing cheaters yeah winners so shouldn't you be like one of them no there because I I played the betas when they existed I didn't play the betas when they didn't exist they're getting called out a lot a Z on the streams is just pointing out the fact it's like oh wow
Starting point is 00:36:00 that looks so crisp it's almost as if he had more time it's almost as if it's almost as if he practiced every day for a month before this time on the clock we release exhibition today yeah a Diego ran a stream too which was kind of fun to watch it was interesting although like extremely formal and extremely Japanese and not at all like used to like twitch culture I hello now I will do the dragon punch well he had a room full of people and it was a very like it was a very like
Starting point is 00:36:30 scheduled event type thing you know and but it's interesting that he's doing it and I certainly hope he continues to did they stall for four hours before showing the thing you wanted it might have no that's not that Japanese it's not you're right could have been worse Japanese stream ever could have been worse Alice and Capcom just mm-hmm but Japanese casuals have a charm to them we're like you know like as something amazing happens the chat and everyone else is going
Starting point is 00:36:58 holy shit but the players but the players themselves are just going like oh man you want to you want to get into like Japanese player culture shit I've been looking at MMO stats lately and the fucking shit I've been finding out is staggering the fucking the staggering so you look at you look you can look at clear percentages for servers do it for certain raids because they have achievements associated with them and you look okay let's compare the top like super rage Japanese server
Starting point is 00:37:23 called Chocobo and you compare it to like Balmung or whatever okay it's 2700 to 800 that's that's a difference of like 5 to 10% of the server versus I don't know 0.01% what are those numbers those are clears on the particular raids and then you look at like okay well how far do I have to go down in the Japanese server list until I hit what is would be the number one Western one oh you have to go down like 20 yeah yeah you have to get to the point where you find out that only the top
Starting point is 00:37:59 three Western servers would even like be even the worst Japanese one and then you see these screenshots of what the party finder looks like on a Japanese server and they're like a hundred fucking lists of hey we would like this to do this and learn these phases and do this and then you look at the fucking Western one and you see gold sellers selling runs and you see guys that don't know how to clear fights asking to be carried and it's it's a fucking mess a quick shout out to
Starting point is 00:38:28 tool assisted this dude that was doing early beta his name is literally to literally he got to it first fuck off those not only did he do a lot of the early beta frame data scrounging but he created what is essentially bonus games for ranked matches where every once in a while you'll fight against a tool assisted bot that he has running I like that thing and it's straight up like it will do this if you do that and it's like it's an input puzzle it's a puzzle yeah and you can solve
Starting point is 00:38:58 it but it's fucking hard you know and he had a gif bot and he had an infiltration bot and all kinds of shit was him that had the infiltration runs all the box runs all the box all the box max ran into him on on the beta yeah and it was just like huh that win I don't think that's infiltration right and max figured out a way to just stand in a certain place and the bot just froze that it's a puzzle it's a puzzle match in the middle of your ranked battles great so enjoy that before
Starting point is 00:39:28 we get to what's up with Matt let's take a quick word from our sponsors so Willie um I had probably one of the best sleeps in my little night last night did you last night are you sure I I I was told you man you can't go you just went right to bed I remember having a really dull dream but I feel like my sleep could have been even better so you just had the best night sleep in your life and you're still disappointed I'm sure I can do better but I don't have a way to do it you
Starting point is 00:39:59 know that's that's I just gave up on sleeping because I know I'm never gonna that's what I do yeah that's a shame because why cuz cuz like I had the roughest night of sleep I this is right literally literally dreamt that I was on a ship being sent with a crew of people to a mansion with Xenomorphs running around inside of it all right that's bad it was but it was a pretty terrible dream because we're unequipped and we had nothing that was what and like I had bad sleep and it was a
Starting point is 00:40:27 really rough night because this has been a very busy week of work and everything's awful but I woke up and I felt fucking great and here's why why dude what you know like Casper the friendly ghost the friendly mattress company this has nothing to do with that not at all no it's not okay this is just some good ass mattresses happens to share the name and they send them to your door and it's an American like in the mail in the mail the mailman brings a mattress to my mailman is like
Starting point is 00:40:58 an 80 year old man it's a no they figured it out mailman super they have it it's all folded up on itself and fit into a box and then that box rolls up to your door you open the box up right where you want your bed to be and bam expand this is just kind of like flops yeah it's a lot of people say that there's a fair price for these mattresses but if you're going to like describe that price what would you describe it as a what type of fair price is it we're talking
Starting point is 00:41:24 extremely fair at the store shockingly he met shockingly fair shockingly fair shockingly absurdly fair how fair so fair that you can try out the mattress for 100 days and figure out whether or not you even like it 100 100 days always like really gets me because 100 days is is more than a quarter of the year they could have capped out at three months but like they could have done 10 days but maybe maybe you want that extra week and a half to decide like you know there's
Starting point is 00:41:56 no one there is no one on this earth who's getting day 99 and still undecided you're right no and you're also getting in at a much cheaper price than the usual mattresses that they offer if you go down to the store plus you got to like listen to the store guy yeah and then like maybe you can lie on the bed like you're going to store you've ever been to a mattress store it's not a good time I did that I'll lie down on the bed the mattress I did that not on recently and the
Starting point is 00:42:22 worst part was you're testing the mattress out and people walk in and they see you doing all your weird sleeping shit oh yeah well not me or but you well hey need a moment I need I need some moments so that's you're especially going to be someone want to do that stuff in private yeah so you know what much better than your the mattress stories your own house yeah and your own house will never be a mattress store to you if you head on down to Casper dot com you can pick yourself
Starting point is 00:42:54 up but they have all kinds of they have all different sizes the mattresses so you pick the size there's many different body types in the world exactly and you know right now you can get 50 bucks towards any mattress purchase if you specifically go to Casper dot com slash super best and you use the code super best so make a cheaper mattress even cheaper get 100 days to try it out you don't like it they come they take it they give it they donate it to charity they
Starting point is 00:43:21 get it out of your hands no fuss no must no problems win win win win there's so many wins all we do is win win win win DJ Khaled wants to know and I've been sleeping with a shark recently because we have that big like plushy shark sharks need a good many and Vinny is very very choosy about the ocean floor is very very comfy not that sharks sleep really but if a shark was no they can sleep while floating around yeah but if a shark wasn't floating around the next best
Starting point is 00:43:50 thing would be a Casper mattress shark would say man this feels like I'm floating around in the ocean yeah so head on down comfortable Casper dot com slash super best from a code super best thanks Casper thank you Casper thank you so right off the bat off the bat opening up this loot crate starting strong I see it's a big zombie face I like it in bambos like the scent of death it's what have laughed in the box waft is it waft waft waft waft waft waft waft waft waft
Starting point is 00:44:19 I got a loot crate exclusive dead pool in his white or the white one is crazy that's like dark X 4 so much nicer than the red very wow and he's he's jumping away getting propelled by an explosion yeah yeah yeah it's a little little that should be dead pool at ease yeah I guess though there's a possibility of getting a white variant if you get lucky I suppose that was kind of hot right now everyone did you hear I heard that that pulls hot right now what else is more money
Starting point is 00:44:48 than any R rated film ever fucking didn't hear we got it not yet a sniper on a whole dead pool shirt and is it full on Deadpool box I wonder there's got to be some walking dead because we said it was dead but haha it was Deadpool Deadpool shout now for tacos and he's coming out of the circle that's Deadpool I haven't had a taco in like a couple weeks you know now that you've seen death really overrated the hard shell is soft shell soft shells alright it's a bit more
Starting point is 00:45:16 manageable no wait wait I'm liking the hard shell more because you find it hard to eat yeah no they're both fine it's just one has a bit more that just wants to like the thing you hate that's right you know what else is manageable what's manageable so on a rope Darrell's Walker ear necklace told you so whoa if you want to that is like the most inside shit ever that is that is blockers if you but this has some applications we were just looking at a game that's to
Starting point is 00:45:45 have somebody around their neck so this actually can be part of something special if you want to go in for reels yeah it's an ear necklace that's fuck clean clean my asshole wash your asshole with it it can hear you oh I heard me ocean we got the dead loot pin of course it's a loot crate that's actually a mummified great I like that pretty cute I like it we got walking dead McFarlane really construction sets what you construct a dead McFarlane I'm not 100% sure
Starting point is 00:46:16 oh they're like little figs let me see if they're little figs they're not many things but they got little they got like realistic yeah McFarlane's been like trying to miss though they've been doing walking dead for a while you those are those are pretty good interesting and and that is our dead crate very dead so that's an example of what you can get in the loot crate and once again we're talking less than 20 bucks a month 488 items of a given theme and if you
Starting point is 00:46:44 head on down to loot crate comm slash super enter the promo code super save three bucks on a new subscription they're guaranteeing 40 puts of value guarantee or something okay wait that doesn't make any sense because you said you pay like under $20 you pay under you get some value or 40 that doesn't make any that's crazy and and if it turns out they're wrong you're going to have them dead to rights on that we're practically giving the cars away basically they're
Starting point is 00:47:11 dead cars though and just now and now we've got confirmation that the next theme month is versus and as previously mentioned it's going to have rivalries such as that we've gone through we've got the the Dark Knight man steel alien one that matters to me better you got all day there to approach everybody on your universe spot and very original has that mustache it's going to be like alien versus predator you just open up it's going to be DVD of
Starting point is 00:47:39 a requiem and God had a devil hand what we don't know this is a bad suit versus use to buy as Rihanna versus Beyonce I bet that second to last one you mentioned probably not going to be another maybe only one way to find out and that's a sign up at Lou crepe dot com slash super promo code super do it before the 19th at 9 p.m. Pacific and you'll get in on that versus crepe maybe we'll be waiting inside that crepe maybe we'll be in there fighting possible with little
Starting point is 00:48:08 loose to buy as we hate you so much used to buy as we'll shrink ourselves down to create size oh it's good and then we'll battle inside every crate at the same time oh I'm just figuring out as I go that's fine figure it out we'll figure it out thanks great thank you look great sup sup what you met I am I'm I'm telling you what's up with me and what's up with me is that watched a bunch of shit as I as I normally do I mentioned before finished the X file
Starting point is 00:48:37 season 10 it's weird oh really that sounds weird it's six episodes long so guess what in some episodes they tried to mix a bunch of things together it doesn't quite work out I feel like that's not long enough if you want to do anything other than a cohesive fox was very I don't know it's we don't want about money for six episodes the fox was like we don't want to resurrect the most successful program we have ever had
Starting point is 00:49:02 not named the Simpsons is it long enough to fucking show our mushroom trip it is but that episode is actually the worst one oh that's the one I saw the gifts aside from that sequence it's not what it's about you know what I mean I was hoping for mushroom Samba do the actual thing is just it's so weird that episode and that part itself like cut out it's like oh that's hilarious we can make memes and gifts out of it but other than that oh no they're self aware
Starting point is 00:49:30 no they're they are and they're not but again it's the last episode where Chris Carter is really like give us more money and it ends on the most cliff hangary thing ever because he's trying to bait Fox into giving more money yeah another six episode season which never works it never works I don't know it's it's really like weird and so Chris Carter sees the Twin Peaks is coming back yeah and says boy you know that show that got taken off the air for 20 years and that
Starting point is 00:50:03 last gamble didn't work I'm going to try that yeah no one's watching harsh realm maybe harsh realm maybe if we put a cliff hangar oh no so it kind of you know I still recommend it the the the monster episode is so fucking entertaining that it's worth it but you know like be prepared for an ending that's just not an ending what if I've never seen the X files really it'll be incredibly confusing then because it assumes that you've seen everything which I have even done that oh
Starting point is 00:50:35 boy that's have you not watched X I have seen like four episodes you saw enough to know that the X file the FBI is called the X file it's almost like a Star Trek thing when I just I caught them both it rose me too when it was airing I was like a total coward and couldn't handle even the like even the slightest amount of blood in anything that's crazy and and even when I stopped being a massive coward I I had like that bad like oh I got scared watching it once it's it's actually a surprisingly
Starting point is 00:51:10 gory show like compared to like a lot of stuff you see today like yeah yeah no but it's still gory it's gory it totally is like shockingly and I just never got back around to it but it's it's on the list of things to do because we occasionally watch like you know the old ones here and there and they're still endless entertaining but aside from that what I did delve into which I don't think you guys did but I was just like Fuller House let's do it shit I didn't do it yet but I'm totally
Starting point is 00:51:40 oh dude I'm gonna do it Fuller House though yeah yeah yeah so the thing with Fuller House is that how do you actually do this how do you take the cheesiest most templated sitcom of all time and this I'm gonna say of all time I think you're right right but I still have very fond memories of I have a suspicion that the answer is you double down you do but how about you break the fourth wall and sometimes the characters look at the camera and sometimes really and when
Starting point is 00:52:13 I say sometimes every episode they take massive digs at the Olsen twins and constantly shit on them for not showing up wow it's amazing you know it's a shame we couldn't get the whole family back together but you know some of us have to go to crack rehab stare just take out the crack rehab oh really and you're exactly right they're busy in New York yeah yeah yeah but the weird thing is that Mary Kay and Ashley Olsen are people in this universe they're not dead they're not they're
Starting point is 00:52:51 they're celebrities in their universe oh they blew up as characters from full house no no their own separate act actress twins that have an empire aside from the house and it's not so Mary Kay and Olsen Mary Kay and Ashley and whatever yeah are separate from their own characters in universe correct sir but but baby whatever her name was I forget cuz they it was only those are different it was one kid it was one they can't have they can't have one kid working that many
Starting point is 00:53:24 hours so they always have to get twins so there's twins in this new shoot twin boys now I'm not sure if you know this but there's not I wouldn't say a Bain switch super but Jesse Uncle Jesse and the main father and and and Joey and all that cool yeah cool yeah they all appear sporadically they're not the focus it's it's their daughters that Bob it doesn't have got the energy to hold it back for anything longer than 10 minutes anymore every every second episode one of them
Starting point is 00:53:55 appears again to be a foil and I want to think that like a lot as more sets you ought to know set cool yeah in his place yeah and drain the soul out of him you know what the show is actually really good good there's there's a child actor that's kind of cringy but I mean that's to be expected the actual thing is just like it's so classic sitcom but there's enough like modern shit to go that's funny and I've laughed being stupid Kimmy Kimmy is Kimmy but she gets every punchline
Starting point is 00:54:24 right gets all the punchline yeah because they since they get Mary Kate and Ashley Olson she's the thing and the girl that plays Stephanie nowadays they they go they they in the in the show they go look at your tits they're huge everyone points at them and talks about them that's amazing we're all adults we're all adults now I know but it happens well it's strange so I'm enjoying that me and my wife she look what's black books you black books they're books that the stripper has
Starting point is 00:54:56 black books and you look in it in the mayors in there black books is the fifth invisible member of the Cornetto Trilogy or along with spaced black books is the other British sitcom that had everyone in it had Simon Pegg had Nick Frost I've never even black books on Netflix it's new no it's old it's old it's like 90s okay but it's it's on Netflix I will highly recommend it because if you enjoy the Cornetto Trilogy hey man it's everyone's there Simon Pegg appears Nick Frost appears
Starting point is 00:55:30 the main girl from space is in there and it's just drunken Irish guy works at bookstore called black books he has three friends and they all get drunk and smoke and have misadventures I watched it years and years ago and we watched it again like over the last is officially the same crew as well or is it might as well it might as well be yeah it's it's like all all the British warriors are there and it's it's really like again three three seasons like six episodes per season yeah you
Starting point is 00:56:01 can blast through it I watched again I was like I hope this one of my favorite jokes is like the main guy who is actually the nerd that gets torn apart and Shawna the dead you know that nerd yeah I know that guy he plays a strunken asshole of course he does he is because he is is England yes he has this line where he's trying to fake to pretend to be a lawyer to scare some guy and doing what he wants and he's like yes yes if you don't if you don't do what I say you'll be spending
Starting point is 00:56:29 the next 20 years in the electric chair he's like the next 20 years yes right it's a brilliant line so that shows really good we want we burn through all that like two days can I ask you guys a question about space did you guys see spaced you watch space we watch it after Shawna the dead okay but you both of you watch and you haven't you watch it yes so okay do you watch the whole thing I think I missed an episode here and there okay so the girlfriend I we started
Starting point is 00:56:59 to watch spaced and we were watching that first episode and like does it ever become not like completely fucking God awful yes okay because that first episode I don't even think it's God awful but is the fucking it is the most boring fucking thing in the world it's like they're gonna pretend to be married to get the fuck usually you need to watch more than one episode of anything yeah but but I've usually felt that like if I watch the first episode and it's like it
Starting point is 00:57:35 repels me violently that that's probably I always say give it for like am I missing something here isn't my favorite thing of all time no but I mean the British humor is also really like British sitcom humor specifically is very touch and go and that is true have you watched any other British sitcom so I used to watch faulty towers back in the day what about it crowd I've seen some clips from it I T crowd and I in particular the that Irish fuck whatever his name is pretending
Starting point is 00:58:06 that he's in a wheelchair to get a girl that he likes and getting caught like using the help button in the bathroom by a bunch of security is one of the funniest things I've ever fucking seen. Sounds hilarious when Larry David does it. Yeah. Oh Larry David do a similar thing. Totally is an episode of where he pretends to be disabled or where and then the guy in the wheelchair rolls in and then so he has to go into the palsy walk. I really that's what that's from. Okay. I
Starting point is 00:58:38 really need to get back to Caribbean enthusiasm was just so hard to watch. So hard to watch. Okay. Sorry. I just want to find out if space has a dramatic jump in quality or something. Is that I like space is not my favorite thing and when I tell people like yeah spaces is pretty good. They're like what space is the best so you know there's there's the fans. That's why I was so confused. The I guess the majority that I was talking to really early about is I just put like
Starting point is 00:59:05 20 hours into Far Cry Primal. You like that caveman shit. I like that caveman shit because I was telling you that unlike Far Cry 4 which is like do you want to do everything you can do to stop Pagan men do you want to be a nice cool like just you know leader and like it always kind of through those two things over and over and over again with the two mission givers or the thing I like about Primal is like survive. Is it about like hey instead of taking down the
Starting point is 00:59:31 sky do you want to smack rocks together or make fire? There's there's two warring factions the guys that eat people which is not that much of a taboo at 10,000 BC. That's fair. And the Iggy Aizelia clan that loves fire. And they what? Yeah. And then you just fight them and that's that's the story. How fancy are they? This are the Willie will know how fancy that tribe is because he was getting into them. There's a little bit of some some. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:57 I mean Willie took a look at that game. You guys are going to see that soon but I played 20 hours of that according to my profile. I played 20 hours according to his profile. He played 20. Account shenanigans. So I'm really enjoying that. I also like as Pat I guess may well depending on your week. I put a look at some time it is super hot. Hey if you were to describe that game in one word what would it be? Hot. Brief. Oh, I was. It's super hot. It's super
Starting point is 01:00:32 hot. That's that's it's one word. You could make it one word. No, it's not. There's two different fonts. You're wrong. Willie. I don't want to hear this. Make a clear separation. All right. Fine in two words. Whatever. Super hot's awesome. I can't wait to see them. Very good. I can't wait to see them take this idea and make a game out of it. It's an indie game. That's not full price. I know exactly but that's what I mean. Like I can't wait to see what they're
Starting point is 01:00:57 I played a bunch of it like right before coming here. Sucks that that crack came out so early. Yeah, I know. I can't I played a bunch of it right before coming over here and got a lot farther than we did in the video that will be going up in the relatively near future for it. That that story hook of the crack and the hacking the people servers that goes exactly where I want it to go because when we first saw each other, it's just super hot. Would you even think that
Starting point is 01:01:26 there's a story way before I way before there were trailers. I played the the the original Unity demo right and I would never have thought that that game would have a story. Anytime something introduces itself as basically a puzzle came in a way like you don't expect any kind of container like that. No and they picked the right one and super hot that in case you don't know it's hotline Miami from first person with a different aesthetic and instead of having the superpower of
Starting point is 01:01:52 seeing top down, you have the superpower to freeze fucking time anytime you want and the abilities that you get or the shit the the gun throw is really good. The body possession is really really solid that and there are more up at there. Yeah, no, but it's my possession is just enough. Yeah, it's just enough. Oh, well, I saw it in in Bunny's review. Yeah, I I played Demon Souls. Yes, you did. And I liked that second session a lot. Standing you to Latria was rough. Like the
Starting point is 01:02:27 first time because it's the longest most confusing fucked up level in the entire game. Yeah, I got I got someone tweeting at me like when my sword got broken, a lot of people were like, Yay, when I fixed it, they're like boo. And I was like, well, it's new to me. And it's like, and I know where that's coming from. A lot of people are sick of seeing that's coming from everyone uses it because it's the best weapon in that part of the game. And it's like you watch too many Demon Soul
Starting point is 01:02:50 streams, bro. If you're like, oh, this sucks. It's the same things. Like how many Demon Soul streams have you watched? Is the answer more than three? Yeah, and then you've probably watched too many. I don't keep watching ours though. I would love it to be interesting. I also like to know new things. It's like I can feel it right now when I when I play Dark Souls 3 and just go straight to a power weapon. People are gonna be like, Pat, you always pick power weapons. Like, yeah, I do.
Starting point is 01:03:21 So one thing I'm noticing is that in a lot of my fights, you see me, I'm abusing that parry, dude. I'm abusing it. What parry? Not the parry the the the the fleck thing. Oh, the wait the floor the bash. Yeah. Yeah, you like the guard. Yeah, you like it fucking. And I'm like, I don't feel like the other games that I've seen even better in Dark Souls one. And it just felt like in DS2, it felt like way more finicky. It's it's it's the longest shit in the world in DS2. Yeah, and obviously
Starting point is 01:03:49 Bloodborne, you just get rid of that entirely. Well, it's shooting the gun. Exactly. And but that becomes harder and non specific. Yeah, because some shots don't work in under certain frames. So, you know, like it feels like like demons just go all in and abuse it. And I did I guess I I thought about playing some fire watch once or twice. And then I kind of got bored just thinking about it. I had the exact same reaction where I was like, I should I should play fire watch not I
Starting point is 01:04:19 want to but I should because everybody's really like and it's so it's pretty sure and I want to know what and it was it was charming when I went through a little bit. I was but I just got bored thinking and I was like, weird reaction, very weird reaction. When I finished my first session, I was like, I want to find out what happens and I finished in two sessions. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, I mean, it's like the the impetus to even start. I'm glad though at the very least of anyone's
Starting point is 01:04:45 opinions on it. It was a huge success for the company and oh good for them. Yeah, absolutely. No, and I and I'm not at all, you know what I mean? Like I'm not even saying like I don't like what I played of it. It's just like the continue well, I guess on that, I haven't even bothered to pick up Street Fighter five because I'm like it sure because you're one of those crazy Alex people. I like I like the character. Well, me me and me and you like your you like the characters
Starting point is 01:05:11 more than me me and Billy characters more than the spoke about this like not at length but for a few minutes at the end at the very, very, very end of the stream and I was like, I was like, I don't get you fucking people at all. I'm totally baffled and he and he explains like I play Street Fighter to play Vega and I play I play or Yang and to play them like they are in this form and if they're not there, I'm out. Yeah. And that that and you're you're not all the
Starting point is 01:05:40 way there but you're similar with with Alex. I think this what I just said sums it up even better. Yeah, you know, you're right. That's that's totally some I was like, do you play the game for the character and the game is but you wouldn't think that if you didn't at least think that the base game was good. Oh, totally. No, absolutely. In fact, it'd be quite the opposite is that I don't want to play my character and that like what I want to play as Alex
Starting point is 01:06:03 in Street Fighter EX3. No, see the difference I guess with me I feel is that like if you stripped out Nikali, I'd find someone else and that rule continues until there's no one left. I don't even like saying geef in this game. I'm still going to give him a shot but he's not the one that I like right. He got changed in ways that are not my thing. No, like I found someone else. I found two other people and if you look at my my my the way I was talking about it while
Starting point is 01:06:29 before Nikali even got announced, I was like, Oh man, yeah, Bison, I guess. If you know like and I'm like, I've never picked Bison in another game but I'll try now. If you cut Nash and Birdie, I'd play Bison. If you cut Bison, I'd play Rashid. If you cut Rashid, I'd play Ryu. Yeah, I cut Ryu. I would even play this new Ken because he's alright. I'd play Mika. I'd roll over to whatever was left until there was nothing left. I think it's just one of those unique
Starting point is 01:06:54 things where like actually the lineup of characters like it just so like my main hope was on Laura and I'm like, I actually really don't like how Laura plays at all. Me either. It's it's not what I assumed. Yeah. And you you I watched the trailer. I saw the movies and I was like, yeah, and there's just something about her that I'm like and I you know what? I can understand like Rashid is the only one. I can understand like Billy like saying like, yeah, Vega's my guy but not
Starting point is 01:07:21 that one because if they brought in boxer and he's not a charged character, I'm not playing that care. Like I don't care. Like it like imagine if Gile also wasn't a chance. Yeah. Well, I mean, Chunli, they they changed up her and for me for some reason for Chunli, it's fine. Well, it's better. Yeah, it's actually much much better. I don't like the the I didn't like the flip flopping with the Cali because they would change up his they didn't know whether to make him charge
Starting point is 01:07:47 or not. Can you imagine? Actually, I changed my mind. If boxer can do a rush punch with a fireball motion, maybe I didn't even ignore. I didn't even answer that because the concept is stupid. Well, see, they did with Charlie. Guess what? See? Oh, Charlie's see the 3DS version of of Street Fighter 4. And yet we'll see. Oh, yeah, whatever. Really, really quickly. I unfortunately forgot to bring it. I got the Xbox one elite. Oh, man, next week. I know. And then next week,
Starting point is 01:08:18 I'm not gonna be here next week because I'll still be well shit. Keep the controller. I will keep it. But it feels like fucking money. Yeah, it's actually probably the nicest. It feels great. Like you guys, you guys will will hold it or whatever. But I think it's really great. We're gonna have a whole controller porn down. It is ludicrous expense of especially in Canada. But it it's cool. Like I can't deny it. But other than that, really quickly, I also played a game
Starting point is 01:08:43 on scene called Medusa's Labyrinth, which is actually a horror first person game. That's during the Greek mythology. Actually quite scary. I thought it was pretty good. Not gonna go much into other than that. But Medusa's Labyrinth, the most generic name. I barely even decided to click on it because it's little images. When you said Medusa's Labyrinth, the first thing that popped into my mind was a fan made kid Icarus expansion. Not even wrong. And to think that. But the
Starting point is 01:09:12 only thing that makes me here's the thing with steam is as I go and steam. What's the title of the game? Okay, yeah, what's the little image? Yeah. Okay, click on it. What's the rating? Is it mostly positive? Yep. That there you go. Yeah. So I looked at the other than that's the name of the image. I'll click on it and it's like overwhelmingly positive. Yeah. So I know I play the game and it's it's pretty good. Yeah, maybe we'll do it some day. Willie saw me play Tron runner really
Starting point is 01:09:45 briefly. That's also solid. It's a slower tech 3001 with Tron. Yes. Yes. Yes. And finally, I was telling Willie all about it. And Willie seemed to be kind of intrigued. Spider Gwen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Way more interesting than I thought it was Frank Castle. Lots of spiders. Just a cop. Okay, hates crime. He hates and has a family. Sure he does just like I want to stop crime because I have a family. It's actually just Frank Castle if before it became anything. Is it like it is a
Starting point is 01:10:20 beard? Is it one of those things where you look at this this this version of the character and it's putting forth a theory that like his family dying meant nothing that he would always eventually become the punisher in his own way. Not necessarily from what he describes. No, not from what I describe but that does happen in other. It's only for Sasuke old series and things like that. But this one is just like I'm a hard as powered by emo. So I'm a hard ass and like Black Cat is a lady
Starting point is 01:10:47 Gaga as garnet singer from France. Good. All this fun stuff. So I'm really I read as much as that's available of that and I was like blown away because I was like Spider Gwen. She's cool. Everyone likes Spider Gwen, but I actually read the comic. I'm like, thank God, this is actually awesome. So after after we we checked out the Fastlane pay-per-view, I totally watched her all last week and like to experience the return of Shano Mack. Here comes the money. Like I because for some
Starting point is 01:11:20 for a thing when I was like, you know, fuck it. Let's just watch raw. Right. And I just got the cold surprise. That was like the best. That was really if only wrestling had that more often and my would actually start watching. Well, my timing was so good on that. Like I'm like, okay, yeah, you got me. You know what he's been doing? Just kind of he was overseas in China. We're setting up businesses. Yeah, exactly. Feels like Shano Mack's coming back and it's the kind of situation
Starting point is 01:11:45 like that Simpsons clip was like, Shane, I thought you were dead and his response is I was. Yeah, exactly. No, I'm sure he was he was doing it doing making money whenever overseas and you want to send out those businesses were a huge failure. Well, there you go. But there was a good job, Nick Mahon. He knew like probably way back when is like someday. Yeah, I can't escape when it's in my blood. The music queue is still on the list family business can't can't escape. So that was
Starting point is 01:12:11 fun and he comes out doing the dance greater than Vince himself. I know like a like a few months ago, I saw like updated picture of Shane McMahon. I was like, Oh my God, that was quick. See, here's the thing. Vince is using the good stuff that he doesn't let anyone else like Ric Flair use. Yeah. And and so here you got now like that that Evo trophy that they fucking taped and they're setting up the whole like what's the storyline going to be? And it's like, well,
Starting point is 01:12:36 Shane's back. He wants controller off. And the only way he's going to get it is if he defeats the Undertaker at WrestleMania. We're really fucking perfect. Double ground pop battle cool. Yeah, in a cage match. So though, so that because I didn't watch raw. That's what it was. It was like because because apparently, and the only reason why Vince is letting him do it is because he's got some dirt on him about some shit that he shouldn't have done way back when failures
Starting point is 01:13:06 in China. Oops, Jimmy Snookas. No, no, no, no. Shane has dirt on Vince. Jimmy Snookas. That's why I went there. And and Steph doesn't know about it. So whatever the other fun angle that's going on now is Dean Ambrose. Yeah, it's like, what do you do? Why is he poor after getting dismantled and inserting himself and he's that he's there with the shield with the storyline with Roman and trying to get the belt and better or not, whatever all that shit that they're building
Starting point is 01:13:39 up to for WrestleMania. Yon, but what do you do literally when you have Brock as the guy that refuses to sell doing his thing and have a no sell match? You take a character like Dean Ambrose who is basically in hurt me more. Yeah, I would love the pain. Yeah, mode. Yeah. And you put him up against Brock so that he gets beat up off camera on camera driven to the hospital, hijacks the ambulance drives it back to rock gets out and challenges Brock again. So it's the no sell versus the
Starting point is 01:14:16 ultimate sell and he's crawling on his feet over to Brock perfect sell. You know, I don't care. He doesn't care what happens. That's good. That's good. And Brock like fives him and then steps on his face to leave the arena and he's like smiling on the ground like yes, perfect. That's what I wanted. I wanted to lose. Yeah. You lost. It's part of my plan. Yeah. So they're working that pretty good. I'm happy with it. How is the Ambrose poor? He gets paid to wrestle. He's working
Starting point is 01:14:47 right now. Yeah, it doesn't make that's his gimmick in case you didn't know now. He's in his in his problems and stuff. He's like, Oh, I need to get like coupons from a groceries. You get paid. You get paid more than the people that are like I'm millions of dollars. You're being videotaped for money right now in this bit. Yeah. Like it's fine if a wrestler is like I'm super rich. Yeah, that's fine. I can you're not going to be taking bombs for a living because you're rich. Why would
Starting point is 01:15:14 you even need to I guess it's to show how superior you are to the common man. But if you're poor, you can't be poor. If you're a wrestler. Hey, it's my gimmick people in the stands who actually live this life. I've also never said he was poor but he but he but he got that across and I drink beer and do whatever I'm using your misery as my wrestling gimmick. Yeah, your misery feeds me. Also got a chance to check out Jojo part nine. So you went from doing nothing. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Right. You know, interesting stand in a very interesting stand. I like I like his his appearance so far. It's very it's a different take. Very Rob Liefeld. I like this. Awesome. I like the the the reference to in dual. The return of that good homage but it's blood instead of the pretty decent set up diesel diesel. We're going to get there eventually some plagiarism Iraqi Iraqi exposed as huge fraud contested. I've never seen it this bad ever in anything in any medium
Starting point is 01:16:26 ever. The best gene Simmons and son. No, yes, that that was bad to tracing it is is like is like thing somehow in my mind but just just lifting literally every single element and as I mentioned, and then not tracing it like it would be it would be less offensive if he traced it because at least then the art would be like not or stole the idea and the word stands and stand and did his own thing but made his own stand instead. It is a shot for shot terrible recreation
Starting point is 01:16:59 and it is God awful. That's the crazy part. Close me away. Even when I had my dumb OC Dragon Ball characters and my friends had them as well and you black and pissed off your art teacher because she's like stop drawing someone else's style. You stupid idiots with your Japanese shit. Yeah, I'm going to fail you. You would at least draw your own dumb OCs and yeah and try to figure out what it would be like if a black person went Super Saiyan. This is the comic. There's a
Starting point is 01:17:25 whole website devoted to this is the comic also you could just watch LeBron James footage. Yeah, it's the comic equivalent of those mobile games that just steal just just wholesale just like a ping like just just I took I made this I'm going to steal all of it and make my art worse. I made this. Yeah, I made it. It's me. I came up with it but like crazy. Holy shit. Kind of fascinating though though right because it looks so so ugly. Yeah from an art perspective that I don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:59 Yeah. Oh man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The black Goku still up and running black Goku. I still got some my week if if you're if you're over an hour and eight but whatever we can roll in. I guess he's got my arm still there. Yeah, I see it. I see it. So there's there's two more things I want to talk about one will be quite quick. One is I started playing that fire emblem and oh my god. That's more of mine. Is that the front page? Yeah, that that fire emblem fates and I kind of wish
Starting point is 01:18:32 Liam was here because we're talking about it quite a lot yesterday and he's going to get a huge surge in views and not know what the fuck but but that game has that split mechanic where you go into the easy easier campaign or the I'm not I'm not I'm sorry. I'm really sorry but look at look at this picture that I did also I know exactly you're not showing it to me. I'll show you that. I also know exactly where this is going because it's like we had the conversation
Starting point is 01:18:58 yesterday had the conversation but not we have to have it now for the podcast will they? We do. I recently we talked about Fire Emblem on another podcast episode recently to where I was describing that I tried. Yeah, no, it's a it's a slightly different thing and it's like especially coming off of xcom because they're both very hard games that have permadeath and all that stuff but the fire emblem doesn't shit its ass when you go to attack somebody and sometimes fail to bring
Starting point is 01:19:23 the cursor back or whatever. So that's nice but it's I'm in this fucking hole where I'm much better than the than the easy difficulty but I'm not quite good enough for the hard one and so I'm stuck. I'm stuck playing a game in which it's slightly too hard for me to beat the missions without anyone dying but if I went to the easier difficulty I would fucking walk all over it would be super boring. Can't you put like the the one difficulty but then have permadeath? Yeah, but I
Starting point is 01:19:54 ways to mix and match. There are ways to mix and match and there's no currently satisfactory one. I literally just have to get better at the game because I remember for my difficulty for Awakening is like I put it like I guess the equivalent of medium but put permadeath on. Is there a cocktail of sorry. I'm just randomly thinking of xcom again because that's fine bugs and stuff go for it. Is there a cocktail of mods that you fix? No, there is there is a stop wasting my
Starting point is 01:20:18 time mod which makes it so that like resurrecting soldiers with the sect ways doesn't take like 45 seconds on it and and takes and removes the weird pauses after you shoot but there's currently nothing to my knowledge that changes it so that like often when the enemy when your character shoot you can't see the damage number until it pulls back out or even if they hit or the fucking super fucked up loading times that are fixed by caps lock or any of that weird shit. No, not as
Starting point is 01:20:48 of yet. Hopefully, Sid Meier is working on it. Okay. Yeah, that game firearms really good but just like man, I'm in the wrong spot for it. I need to I need to improve forcibly before I can have fun with that. And the other thing that I've been doing is Matt, have you seen Gravity Falls? I've seen a couple episodes. Finish it. Well, keep watching. It's not long because the guy fucking pieced out exactly where he should have amazing to beat him up. Super good. I saw that. Yeah, no, but
Starting point is 01:21:16 I'm almost near the end and it is it is fantastic. I would recognize fucking Paul Robertson's art anywhere you can't and he has the second episode. You can't mistake. There's a street fighter one but there's a there's another one that he does and it's it's fantastic. Man, that is just such a good goddamn show. The guys that worked on are one of them at least one of the brothers chaps from Homestar Runner did writing on that show. It is. Hey, you're Gabba Gabba. It is
Starting point is 01:21:44 just rock solid like Twin Peaks for kids. Like amazing makes no sense and I want an aesthetically. Yeah, no, it's it's very this was my best one, by the way. I see that and I want to I want to like give like a golf clap to Christian Shawl because her work on the Daily Show was really good. Yeah, her work on Flight of the Concords but excellent. She has finally discovered her true calling after 30 Rock. Her weird ass cartoon voice has found a home in a goofy like cartoon
Starting point is 01:22:17 character that fits. I can never not see your face after seeing her on four different shows before. I can still see her face but Mabel is the best. Remember we're doing some Final Fantasy 10 and you're like, ah, what did she do? What voice was she like? So the the last episode that I saw had Neil DeCrasse Tyson as a super smart talking pig. Yeah. And I was marking the fuck out. I was completely marking the fuck out. Groudy Falls. One of those types of shows where the
Starting point is 01:22:46 guy would go, I'm done. Yeah. Drop the mic right here. And I'm kind of I'm getting really excited because the plot is totally going somewhere and knowing that it goes somewhere and it gets there and then it's over makes me really excited. That's good. Really excited. The the after seeing that chart of how everything is connected from Adventure Time and oh yeah, there's all the Pendleton Ward and and everything else Beemo's voice actor. Yeah. And then regular shows and all
Starting point is 01:23:17 these people. Yeah. All the staffers just grouped up in different pairings and created all these different shows. You know that one. Here's Rebecca Sugar's show. Here's Pendleton Ward. And they all share the same. One image where it's like, man, I really wish him and him and him all worked on something. Oh, I wish that would happen. Someone just shows a picture of flapjack like it did. Yeah, it already happened. You missed it. Yeah, exactly. Cool.
Starting point is 01:23:43 It's it's fantastic. I should have finished it before coming to the podcast, but I needed to play super hot instead because it's so it's so hot. Well, I'll tell you what else needs so super hot man. What else needs to get finished? What's that? What is that? More fighters confirmed for KOF. Yeah, did we talk about this last time? Last time we had no docket because all the no, no, no, I mean, even before that, didn't we talk about the characters? No, it was off mic. Off mic.
Starting point is 01:24:14 We discussed the possibility. It was it was maybe we were maybe we were recording fighter and a fisticuss and it was in between things. I just looked over you and said, Hey, man, did you see King of the fucking dinosaurs dinosaurs? Teesock turns heel. So, you know, everyone has that moment where they go, fuck it. I'm in and I don't care how shitty you look. Yeah, you have King of the dinosaurs. All I will buy you and I will play you. Yeah. I mean, that was a foregone
Starting point is 01:24:42 conclusion. Well, I believe I said the moment the game got announced. I'm no matter what happens, I'm going to be playing says King of Fighters on it. Done. But what I mean is that I'm going to stop being grumpy about the game per se. I'm going to stop being as pessimistic as I guess we all were at the reveal. Plus, I enjoy Terry's new design as well. His old design. See, luckily, old design. Luckily for me, I found an old topic about fighting game backgrounds that
Starting point is 01:25:08 made me super depressed again. So, I'm back to being grumpy. Was it that Imgur album? It was that Imgur album. Keep scrolling. I just and it's and you get to the park stage from like King of Fighters 90. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And what year is that? Like 99? No, no, no, I think it's like 96 or 90. No, no, wait, the outside reigning park. Yeah, that's 98. That's 98. The 98 park stage in I think Holland or something and it is it is a fucking porn and sprite art form and that's
Starting point is 01:25:34 whatever I fucked that up. But yeah, it is. And then you the last blade stages and then you just you cry. Yeah, you cry. And then you look at you look at that shitty, shitty goddamn cathedral with a blur. You cry again. It's not bad. We call it cry again. It's not it's not terrible. Let me show you those stages. No, I get it. It's not great. Let me show you what the action like Pokeman's if the 2D stage and on exists, this stage looks fine. But it does exist. I know.
Starting point is 01:26:04 And all right. All right. So I didn't even like that many stages. So I'm notorious for not liking a lot of stages and more modern King of Fighters. Yeah. Like once 11 happened, I started really disliking this is the main stages of the main stages that they're showing off that from the original release still looks pretty terrible no matter what they added more layers to it, but I still really don't like what's going on. You're right. I think that the the Mexican city looks
Starting point is 01:26:29 interesting. It's more KOF 13 ish. It's bright and colorful. Agreed. And then there's that like Cathedral, which is weird. It looks unfinished. The lighting looks weird. I like the idea of the stage, but it doesn't look like it's lit properly. No. And doesn't that's a thing. That's a thing that at least I can think that let's constantly show off characters and stages that aren't finished. Well, that's why they have a helpful little reminder at the bottom of footage saying this is a game
Starting point is 01:26:58 story. Yeah. Yeah. But either way, no, no matter I like I said, I'm a little helpful little reminder to turn off the comments. It's going to get play. It's going to get get play. I'm just glad that Terry doesn't look nearly as bad as Andy. That was I think I don't know a previous one. He's covered by more clothing. He's covered by more clothing when he turns the hat around. That's all cool. Maxim looks good. I like new Maxima. Yeah, Maxima looks good. Canadian fighting him
Starting point is 01:27:23 character. So along with Wolf and Sasquatch him and Wolf and Sasquatch. That's it. Busy week for Japan. Busy week. We got birth rates down again. Yeah, we're doing it. Not really though. They just announced that the country lost a million people this year. Yeah. For the first time since like 1939 or some shit. We were down a million people this year. You know how many babies Japan was having during the war? They're population didn't decrease during World War Two. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:27:53 That's crazy. They kept up. Kept on fucking. That's fucking radic. So, well, wait for the the fucking VR home wife simulator thing to come out. Yeah, then it's all over. Then the the country. The country just implode on itself. That's the victory lap to cutting your dick off. Yeah. Uh so her daughter's master plan is complete. Uh we gotta first look at the Capcom's attack on Titan game. Sorry. Capcom's attack on Titan. Right. Right. For the arcades. Mm hmm.
Starting point is 01:28:30 Which actually has 3D maneuver gear handhelds things that you use to aim individually and do your thing. Is it is it parked next to the Gunslinger Stratos machine? 100% 100% and and this is where you enjoy this that will never come out. It like it's weird because the machine's completely translated into English. Well, it's Rachel. The idea though is hard to the the Aotons because I just want you know me. I want that 3D maneuver gear simulator. I'll never get it
Starting point is 01:29:03 and well, it already exists in fan made form. You'll never get on an official. You'll never get it from an official channel. Either way, Capcom's take doing taking their arcade take at it and uh I was like, oh, that's interesting to see that they're trying that. We'll see if it's any good. What a weird time for all these games to be coming out when there's no new anime. Season two is is is announced. Anime is dead. When's it coming out? We don't know. Exactly. What do we know?
Starting point is 01:29:26 Wait, didn't they say 2017? They said whatever. That's not now. Uh yeah. No, they they did announce it and it's in the production. Why would you stop caring about anime? It's done. Yeah, it's played out. It was a mistake as well. I'm sorry. Yeah. Uh yo Gundam's dope. Watched a ton more episodes. Fuck yeah. Good shit. Remember at Mangfest, there was all these little like amazing girly Julie bracelets that said things like I'm not your waifu and anime was a
Starting point is 01:29:54 mistake. Yes. There's only one thing I have to add to the Gundam discussion. Yeah. I'm continuing my running theory that nearly every character should have had a gun put in their mouth and killed due to like straight up like disobeying orders or like actively working against the team. Kai let's a fucking spy onto the base. Just just Kai let's a spy onto the base. All I want to know how many how many zombies how many zombies wait are down still just the one. No, no, no,
Starting point is 01:30:24 how many have you met? Oh, they they all show up at the same time at the after Garms death. Okay. Okay. And the dad's tired and the the sister looks like the worst one of them all. She's horrible. The worst one. I haven't seen much of the others. Like they they they went to the funeral and they did that thing and then the the sister was the only one that showed up in like the mining arc or whatever. But like Amaro steals the Gundam he'll show them fucking shoot that kid.
Starting point is 01:30:53 Kill him. But then who's gonna fuck it. Yeah, I'd rather have a bad pilot that follows orders like Salah. Salah mass you're not a little bit but a good pilot that doesn't follow that still get the that bit is so hilarious and old because she literally gets in the Gundam and starts flying around and they're like I try like oh you tried to use the Gundam to show that a woman could be as good of a pilot and you almost got us all killed. Shame on you Salah. And then the next episode she's
Starting point is 01:31:30 the backup pilot for what I assume is the rest of the series. Honestly, I was about to say they fucking make up for it. Yeah, and not even for those reasons. But there's other shit too. But it's like it's like bright is nearly shaking his finger at her being no no no as if he's shaking his finger at all women. Yeah, bad. But no, no, it's hilarious. It goes down. Yeah. So on that note, we have a pretty awesome announcement that well, I guess two new things we have
Starting point is 01:31:59 there's Gundam users new footage of Gundam Breaker 3. Yeah, horse Gundam gameplay and with 12 minutes of it horse. Yeah, did you say horse Gundam? I said horse Gundam. All right. So that's just a word. Yeah, it was not actually horse Gundam. It's a new genre. If you want to check out the gunpla fighting game that is going to break your three you can do that. An English version is coming out in Asia on April 28th Asia and that goes hand in hand with Bandai's new fucking thing that
Starting point is 01:32:33 they're doing that's pretty interesting and cool is they're making maybe I might be wrong because I'm out of touch with some of this stuff but there's also they're also making an English version for Asia of Super Robot Wars. Oh, gee, the moon dwellers. So you we're not confident enough to localize this actually for your place but they're in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines and Indonesia. There will be English versions available. I want to I just I
Starting point is 01:33:00 would like somebody to tell me either on Twitter or or get send an email in because it's it's an academic thing that it's always weirded me out. The countries you mentioned I do not believe their first language or national language is English and yet that is the language that gets associated with that territory in localization terms now even in China and Hong Kong and get it. There's a lot of English usage and in particular with would you say it's like the
Starting point is 01:33:24 de facto second language that member when we were talking about it's weird because there's a there's a member we're talking about like Davao City and like the Punisher Mayor and all that. Yeah, right. So officially like they have a language that is just English with other bits of I think Filipino sprinkled in. Okay. So it's almost like English is the first language. That's weird. It's very strange. That's odd. So it's not super uncommon for like I would I would
Starting point is 01:33:52 actually really if somebody has like a breakdown of this exact thing that they can send me on Twitter, I'd really appreciate it because I find it super interesting. Yeah, but that's totally a thing and because you said like oh, they're putting the English version out for Singapore like fucking what? Yeah. No, no, it's it's it's strange but it's and I guess it's like much easier for them to do that if you think about it than to develop than to translate into
Starting point is 01:34:15 specifically. Oh yeah, totally because there's tons of them there's tons all even in China. There's like 10 different forms of Chinese or some shit. Yeah. So they're not going to do all that work. No. So it makes more sense to do it this way. We've got the announcement of Pokemon Moon and Pokemon Sun which you mean Pokemon raw and Pokemon Smackdown. I prefer as I mentioned Pokemon Sora and Pokemon Riku. No, no, Pokemon Dayman and Pokemon Nightman.
Starting point is 01:34:42 Yeah, that's good. That's good. The best the fucking best. And and that goes hand in hand with an explanation of why a 3DS version of Pokemon Pokemon tournament won't happen. Good. Like, did dad need an explanation because it looks like you can't we don't want to fight in game experience, you know, so okay, hold on. Hold on. Now, if that's their reasoning for that, are they saying that for smash they wanted to compromise the graphical experience? Here's
Starting point is 01:35:20 exactly what it with a quote goes down. It's like a Hoshino developer. Masaki Hoshino says it's definitely a challenge to get it on the Wii U with what we're doing right now and it would definitely be a challenge to have the same graphical experience on the 3DS. Harada immediately tagged onto this and said programmer does not need technology. Programmer needs budget. That's that's the actual anything. If you really think
Starting point is 01:35:44 about it can fucking live up to the what they would but aside from that kingdom hearts like there's been no console Pokemon anything of any real note in a long ass time and at least make a beautiful gorgeous fighting game. You shouldn't on Pokemon XD. No, I'm not. It's just that like Pokemon XD makes me laugh. The dream is that everyone's dream is a big cool awesome in depth RPG and the Pokemon world on consoles. Yeah, that's something that they should have done years. Let me talk
Starting point is 01:36:17 to you about Monster Hunter. I keep asking Liam. I keep asking me like, Liam, was it going to happen? And he's like, and he's like, never. Why would it? Why would it happen? Probably never. It's it's home is on the console on the handheld. That's crazy. Why would you ever want it? People want it. Well, that I put words as much he would he would not be the phone the phone app Pokemon, whatever. Sure. Go not go whatever whatever it is. That thing is where they're going to be going
Starting point is 01:36:44 Pokemon geolocation. We have a mixture of things that fucking get me where I need to be. Where do you need to be in an escape room? All right, there you go. That's so you are a lights off kind of guy that in an escape room that is themed as a zero escape. It's the ultimate. It's the ultimate. Like, we all got into this concept based on this license and now it's with Spike Chunsoft real zero escape trust on trial, trust escape room
Starting point is 01:37:22 being designed in LA tickets go on sale literally today. So here's the here's the deal, right? If you're living in LA, go to it and tell me here's the deal. You'll get to go. Excuse me. Here. Here are the rules. Do not break anything. And you must leave your watches with the man at the door. Oh, somehow that part's not getting through. I would steal that shit in a second. I have one. I'll never get the other one. But what if it was real though? Oh, that would be the past. So I tried to
Starting point is 01:38:06 steal the death watch and he died. How ironic fucking awesome. Mission accomplished time to get the second ending. It's better than dying coming out of my dark shower. We can now close down this event because we did what we needed to do. It was all the ploy. We've also got a leaker with our great track record dropping megatons of info about the NX. Yeah, let's hear this shit. Well, hey, so like I'll I'll I'll I read this article. The first one. Hold on. Hold on. Sorry. Okay, sorry.
Starting point is 01:38:41 Gino is the name of the leaker. Yeah, go to this first. He Gino leak. Oh, shit. Fuck. Where's the list of shit that he did? You fucked up. Damn it. Sorry. He was right about the aluminum room. He was right about the ps4 being capable of running modern day graphics on his hardware about Pokemon types and forms in XY. That's that's rock solid. And like relative to this discussion to specific right doesn't usually are you familiar? No, but everything about the Wii U did
Starting point is 01:39:17 like a few weeks or like before. Are you familiar with this article? I actually I'm really excited because I completely missed this. So I'm hearing this new the first part is like holy shit. Where's this article? This is gamnesia. This is so the first the first fucking bullet point. It has a wireless HDMI dongle that attaches flush to the back of the device. You can pull it out and insert it into any display with any normal size. If that is real, this console already this console for
Starting point is 01:39:49 me wins forever. And everyone needs to rip that off because I am sick of HDMI cables. As long as you can still record off of this as long as you can still record off. If you can't then this console sucks and you shouldn't buy it. No, if it works, it's the best. If it's doesn't work, it's the worst. But that's the one everything else is like everything else is like that's cool. But that's one of my how does everything not have this now since it's it would just be spitting out
Starting point is 01:40:17 HDMI signal it would it should have no problem doing pass through. Yeah, it's like it shouldn't because it should have the thing it should have the fucking back to the days of pointing a camera at the television. Oh yeah. No, like you can't fuck that up. You know what I mean? Like no way whatever capturing video will always remain because PCs sure like it like so the device is dope from a consumer perspective. That's awesome uses an evolved version of the
Starting point is 01:40:46 we use streaming tech to display HD to the TV screen and a lot controls for them for movement have small motors in them with full haptic feedback. That's cool. I'm going to assume that's like low input latency with that stream stuff. I would hope so man. Bluetooth sync with tons of devices where including smartphones and tablets. Yeah, sure. Answer phone calls and display text messages from your phone. Oh, so this is the new weird useless thing they want to include. Okay, closest to
Starting point is 01:41:13 X bone in terms of power that makes complete perfect sense. Fine technology involved uses same hardware layout as PS4 and X bone. Oh, I can tell you what that means. It means that you use as an APU. So an APU is a graphics card motherboard CPU combination piece. Instead of having discrete components it's easier to manufacture and AMD that probably means AMD is making these these these devices. Okay, it's got heat benefits. But it basically means like same architecture as the other
Starting point is 01:41:48 two not weird. We're looking at a scenario in which all three systems are basically the same way. Wait, as opposed to our processors being handled by these guys are video cards until the next couple of points. Yeah. Okay, any game that runs on PS4 or X bone can easily run on the NX with no mods required. Okay, that's definitely the same architecture. Yeah. It's even more true if it runs on Android OS or UE4 one third party devs said it's the easiest device we've ever
Starting point is 01:42:15 developed for just take your code compiler that works. We should look at that is before we go farther. That means that like, even before what is demise, like there were some serious like ideological changes behind the scenes at Nintendo to have designed the thing to work like this number of references to PS4 and or X bone already are shocking. Oh yeah, they're more than zero. Is that an infinity increase? So I guess I was right. It was Pokemon Go. I forgot what
Starting point is 01:42:42 it's called. We should look at Pokemon Go to get an idea for the type of social features that'll be in an extra or whatever. Yeah, me verse near. Yeah, what have you school? Yeah, school geolocation. It'll take multiplayer AR and street pass concept to a whole new level. The strength of the device are its usability and ease of use devs describe it as visually describe it visually and functionally as the hardware as if Samsung and Nintendo 2DS had a baby.
Starting point is 01:43:10 So that doesn't seem very large. Well, there's a picture on it. Well, I mean, it's not a it's just a dumb mockup. It's not a black thing. It's not that looks like our converter. Don't don't fall for that. I know, I know, but that's what's in the article. It looks friendly, but unlike what most people believe a Nintendo device to typically look like. It's very OS named Nintendo s is very powerful and has many modern features of mobile operating systems. Sure. Nintendo
Starting point is 01:43:39 is trying very carefully to show it off for fear that it would be mistaken as a running Android. I think yeah, they don't want to be they don't want it, but they don't want it like I guess I would that means we don't want to get any mixed messages for people like wait, what is this thing? Is that so this is a Roku? So this is not a Fusion handheld device. It doesn't mention any of that. It appears to be a very physically small easy to transport and dedicated console. A point very strong
Starting point is 01:44:10 networking functions as it ties into multiple devices and services. So that's what it is very very competent and pervasive ecosystem designed to constantly involve the consumer. So it's not so it is a use the shit you already had is a dedicated console. It is not a handheld also your handheld is your phone. I don't want to play in hell games on my phone man. But here's the thing for all these rumors here might not necessarily be that it's your controller. It could just be
Starting point is 01:44:39 your second screen, but it's going to connect to all your sure that's fine, but I don't want to play monster on my phone. No, I definitely here's what makes me nervous on these types of lists and thankfully this part is not there is that they try. Let's say this list is made up eats her baby. It let's say the guy cannot resist and he goes mock writer mature rated game at launch. Kid Icarus shown holding up head of baby drinking blood because so many like around Nintendo like I remember
Starting point is 01:45:08 mock there someone made a fall mock writer wooden like paper standee and put it right outside a GameStop and took a picture of it as a fake. And whenever I see any games if you're telling me you know stuff about games you are fucking wrong you will always be wrong. You don't know what games there's something to be said about in the age of Photoshop to take your fakery to the physical realm that the photo is legitimate. Yes, other things like no this doesn't actually appear. This is a real
Starting point is 01:45:42 thing somewhere. Yeah. Nowadays, you can smell out like bullshit. I'd be very very interested in this device. It sounds very interesting. It does and it sounds extremely believable that their choices would be to just adapt to what people already have. Yeah, especially now that they're working with Dina. Yeah. So did you guys sign up for your Nintendo account? No, I did. What? You know, so the Nintendo account is they have already started to sign up for their
Starting point is 01:46:16 unified account system for the future, right? You know, I had to do I had to go and punch in my Nintendo ID information and it linked it to the account that I signed up with my email and I was fucking done. It took like 90 seconds. Okay, it was totally painless and seamless and it looked like it was designed to be used by human beings. That's always so so what you're saying is it's functionally what it should have been on day one. No, it's functional. Still what it should have been
Starting point is 01:46:49 like 10 years ago. 10 years ago. Fantastic. 10 years ago. The 360 was out. Yeah, but 10 years ago. Konami IDs were still a thing. It's super cool. You beat me. Yeah, totally one. I mean, it's completely one, Matt. It's super cool to hear that they're God that they're now at zero. Oh my God, I never got to play that version of Metal Gear Online because I was never able to get through. Crazy. But yeah, no, that gave me a lot of faith for their online and it makes me feel like
Starting point is 01:47:23 are they actually going to do like software backwards compatibility because your account and your purchases like are linked once you do this. Now what I what I'm wondering about is if they do have secondary screen functions and they're doing the whole smart glass type thing where like you have your tablets, you can see this and that and so on. How much of that's not the focus? Well, how much of that is optional? How much of that is required? How much of that is
Starting point is 01:47:46 going to be a part of a big thing that if you've got if you've got the developers are involved with you got a phone past such and such a date. You can use it to have Wii U backwards compatibility or just or just like whatever peripheral or whatever device you kind of already own that hooks up to like would in theory work with an Android box or something I would I would very work with this. I would very like them to double down on one gimmick. Whatever that gimmick is and
Starting point is 01:48:17 it appears to be connectivity connectivity to particularly phones. Yeah. But I would I would like can we focus on one thing please can we can we because the Wii U's clusterfuck of motion and streaming and second screen like now the thing is is that to some degree everyone's goal was connectivity this generation but all in different ways different degrees yeah and this dude this one with like your hardware stuff is like a whole further step. I still lack the faith to think
Starting point is 01:48:48 Nintendo can pull it off smoothly without here's the thing right. It's not even about having faith in Nintendo anymore. It's about having faith in Dina. They're literally doing it for them but they're and that's embarrassing in its own right. They're banking the console on it. Yeah totally possibly if these rumors are to believe. Yeah sure to be believed so we'll see at the very end of the day is that as powerful as an X bone fine is a very easy to develop for fine and then that's
Starting point is 01:49:15 that that's it you know are you going to get to sit and play your video games on it. That's yes at the end of the day that's that you know maybe that's Nintendo's secret plan. Does it get rid of people recording their games is to make a fucking hardware device that just you can't like it's not HDCP anymore until Elgato releases the signal interceptor Elgato and Hapage and what have you just go like no we know we did it. We did it on day one place this device physically
Starting point is 01:49:47 in between and if they don't so if they don't do it like Chinese manufacturer X 21 from Hong Kong province will somehow make a converter box that will split your HDMI signal wirelessly for apparently we were still do earlier in the podcast when the Xbox one is about to come out or it had come out whatever it is and I'll say the same thing I said for that I'll say this if like this is not somehow backwards compatible with at least the Wii U and I'd like to think the Wii but if it's
Starting point is 01:50:17 just Wii U that's fine if it's not like fuck expect virtual console. Yeah, I'd rather it just be backwards like I'd rather just put it in the Wii U game for them to do right now would be to just continue building the virtual console indefinitely no but they're bad at that they're quite bad at that we ever there we all had like I forget what it was before we recorded something we had like a fucking 45 minute discussion about how bad Nintendo's virtual console offering is okay but at what
Starting point is 01:50:46 price though if it means hardware emulation or hardware hardware backwards compatibility for a hundred bucks more on the price tag. No, I would rather do that because that's a one time fee. Yeah. I would rather put in my game and at work than me get a slightly better version of the game over the course of like six years. Here's how do you think that gets received by everyone else. Yeah. When you went when a hundred dollars on the price tag. It's a huge but here's the
Starting point is 01:51:14 thing. It's Nintendo. So it's 90. Is it going to be as pricey as a stupid VR thing? No. So it's already got an advantage. That's probably the next one. But so I have a couple ways that I feel about this but it comes down to a couple things one. What do I expect slash want I expect slash want them to go like nah sorry guys no backwards compatibility but from this goddamn moment going forward everything is linked to your account forever and yes things will be assumed to be
Starting point is 01:51:45 backwards compatible with various devices. That's what I expect with the account system thing similar to how Sony does it to an extent across devices and in terms of backwards compatibility the question is always like is it worth a hundred bucks of cost right for the Xbox 360 the answer was yes and Microsoft learned that a couple years after they put their system out for the Nintendo Wii U. No there are not that many Wii U games period that are worth
Starting point is 01:52:16 playing in backwards compatibility. I think there is compared to like as the cries for backwards compatibility were strong with the PS1 the PS2 the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 and those had massive gigantic libraries that had like a hundred games each you want to play for backwards compatibility with the GameCube and the Wii U it's like 15. The number is low but it is still there but I mean at the same time it's like I'll be happy to play Splatoon until
Starting point is 01:52:45 Splatoon 2 comes sure or wonderful 101 or Bayonetta 2 or and the other thing is like in terms of in terms of backwards compatibility cost it also mattered like I made a joke about earlier but it's like do you include a game pad and the thing because that was the Albatross money wise right do you just is Wii U backwards compatibility limited to you still have an old game pad and you can hook it up is it limited to but if you have that then why not just play it on
Starting point is 01:53:11 your Wii U. They cannot have hardware backwards compatibility but then you have to step up your virtual console. Well that that's a lot of work that's like taking that's the thing is that I'd like to think it's easier it's actually easier in the long run to make your your hardware backwards compatible because Nintendo has done it twice now but no but I'm talking about the controller man like what do you do about that I'm still I'm still you know and
Starting point is 01:53:32 think about this like say say if you got a Wii U control like tablet thing you could do the backwards compatibility what about people who don't own Wii U's you're not you can't buy the fucking game pad sure yeah like they're they're they're expensive they're limited like it's in the end even though they did make support and the ability to play a game with two Wii U game pads nothing ever ever ever so it's like how many PlayStation 2 games use the analog buttons don't say
Starting point is 01:54:02 Kojima games. There's one it's Gran Turismo. That's it that's it to my knowledge there might be a couple others but those are the only notable ones. So with that we transition right over to price discussion. Hey I'm going to get that Nintendo console I bet I can afford it. HTC Vive what can't you afford VR price has been announced it is 799 US that's a lot how much is that in our Canadian buckaroos Willie Canadian Rouge one thousand one hundred and forty nine dollars what's
Starting point is 01:54:40 sales tax in nearly the entire nation 30% no sorry 15% it's 15% I mean that's no whatever GST PST on personal income is 30 so what would the actual approximate cost plus shipping of an HTC Vive be to one of us like fourteen hundred dollars yep fuck that holy shit that's an invite I held up my phone when that broke to you guys the other day the vibe also needs the most room and it also needs the most and it comes so get a bigger house so you need a bigger house comes with two
Starting point is 01:55:19 wireless controllers now I will say that like the smallest setting for its like space requirements would be my room right here yeah and then the next level up would be my room without furniture and then there'd be like not in this room change your life change your life you'll have to you can you have to sell some of your furniture I'm bummed because I actually as I mentioned you were the true believer behind the vibe I was converted on play I was converted
Starting point is 01:55:45 on play like I tried it and it blew me away and like I said to you when you brought that up the other day clearly not enough conversion you're not a true believer enough well I don't know how much of a ridiculous killer app that needs to be what if the Vive comes out and the games just suck and they well guess what a lot of games better well that's just it for like because that and the problem with this and the reason why I wouldn't go like this is even reasonable
Starting point is 01:56:18 at this point is because that's not up to HTC I know it's just up to the devs so Oculus like let's be real pricing on Oculus is bad for when we factor in shipping in April Canadian word cut dollars we're talking 914 yeah so so like hey the only the only that that's a fucking drop to the only people out right now going we're going to have fucking for real games for these things is Sony and it's comforting or your Samsung phone VR headset sure but that's that's the phone in your
Starting point is 01:56:56 headset but like Sony is doing the work and saying okay guys guys we know these are going on expensive right there will be games in fact we could have shipped this thing last year but the games aren't done so we're going to make sure there are good it's it's the inverse of every console launch ever ever where the game's struggle to keep up and they go I don't worry people will buy the fucking thing right right right the price is so high that that can't work anymore yeah it's it's just so
Starting point is 01:57:29 crazy that Vive and Oculus haven't announced killer at like you're completely right it's where's the killer at that how come valve hasn't said okay people have half life or portal or left for dead or do to support the fucking anything the possibility of 1400 sitting and collecting dust on a shelf nightmare I can't and I save all you should have bought the other one and I say this as a fucking cabinet owner of third strike that's useless you know like I but that is the killer
Starting point is 01:58:09 at that I will do that yeah well I'm the kind of person who buys consoles like their announcement I bought a video card like 30 minutes after it went on sale you know stupid decisions like that I have six arcade sticks hey what was the day that I got my PlayStation 4 the day you got your PlayStation 4 was a street fighter got announced because that was your killer at you waited absurdly long into the PS2 generation because that's when Metal Gear saw three got fucking out
Starting point is 01:58:35 no no no that's why I got my shadow the class shadow the class and you saw it or like fuck this I'm not waiting a single more day I'm getting playing that shit and Metal Gear was the bonus yeah but like VR I don't know of a single game like maybe our lesson that I that I personally care about I know for a fact that PlayStation VR at least has games but we don't know what they are sounds kind of I know there will be there but we don't know we know a couple the play a hundred
Starting point is 01:59:03 foot tall robot golf yeah summer lesson Tekken I'll play that until dawn thing but what's what's the game that's what I'm saying what's the game the confidence knowing that there will be games plural is nice but it still doesn't matter which one is I need the game pie stealer what are you gonna put your what are you gonna push it yeah and that game should be gravity rush to now I shouldn't but now I shouldn't be cool that game should be Mirage Catalyst yeah I was I was
Starting point is 01:59:30 fucking gonna just say that you're damn it cancel it for Xbox what you're so right you're so that would be it though oh but Sony doesn't own that that's my get up leave the house go man down the street you know what would you know it'd be great to read the reviews for that because that's a real thumb in the eye to Microsoft if Mirage Catalyst is not even better than but equal to Mirage Edge yeah and there's VR even a little worse even a little worse and there's
Starting point is 02:00:00 VR support all my money all of it done sure I feel very confident that my that I mainly am are gonna get the Morpheus like right away because we're both very confident that there will be games that it will not collect collect us because it's a console in the closed system all that stuff and I believe that an argument could be made for that for the for the Morpheus particularly I don't think that argument can be made for the other two but any which way like holy fucking
Starting point is 02:00:30 shit don't preorder these things because they're gonna sell out like crazy because of the crazies but don't don't know wait a minute though fucking wait wait wait a minute before you even start making up your mind that you're gonna get no don't don't make up your mind make it up but but don't hold on wait what about have you considered maybe wait the HoloLens the HoloLens while an admittedly really cool piece of technology in general but young conqueror though feels like
Starting point is 02:01:10 the most out of time no no no plate hold on I don't think you heard me young edgier conquer why you and G conquer yeah I know so I thought I thought it's really out of place I thought project spark was a slap in the face to conquer and wow I can't even describe the look on really fucking face this this new conqueror which is an exclusive to the HoloLens might be the worst character redesign I've ever seen ever I it's the bubbles of and you read comic books
Starting point is 02:01:47 and I read comic books the the levels of bafflingness I don't know whatever the word would be there made that face that you make when you have won too many Red Bulls I can't begin to understand what they were thinking why why does conquer get of all things get saddled with the shitty nothing when you're like when you're like we need to grab some kind of mascot or something what do we have in the bank what do we got what do we got right they know because of the project spark
Starting point is 02:02:16 reaction and stuff okay so then we do okay but like but then now you have the weird thing where it's like but some people know and like conquer because of shit monsters and pissing out fires yeah but now I am the great mighty poo but no we want to make it the wholesome conquer again but still hope that those people are still on board me I don't I don't know I can't figure out it is a process here's okay will the it should be bubs be bubsy bubsy bubsy follow me here for a
Starting point is 02:02:46 moment I will I will try and dig deep there's a fundamental under misunderstanding of a lot of people who wear suits fundamental on seeing bud be fundamental misunderstanding from a lot of people to wear suits and all people to work in marketing yeah and when people say man I love that character and their characters that people will ignore their placement ignore their genre ignore their whatever whether you care about character not you put Master
Starting point is 02:03:13 Chief in something people will like it more because master they like Master Chief a lot or the arbiter or the or the arbiter and there are characters like that if you put Ryu in something mean you would be in man we'd all be like oh that's cool that Ryu is there right yep but there are characters that aren't the character they're the genre of game that they exist in nobody is like madly in love with Banjo they like Banjo Kazooie the game and Banjo is a symptom of that game it's the
Starting point is 02:03:52 symbol right I would argue that people have gotten to love kind of character banjo sure what but you can see where I'm going with right conquer is a conquer is not where you said where you used to say no one cares about Banjo and Kazooie and I can see one of the most successful kickstart is not the girlfriend really like we can see the coastline of the point you're making despite the fact that the boat's going in the complete direction right fine but but conquer is not like
Starting point is 02:04:19 oh man I wish I would want to conquer TV show yeah it's people really really like that conquer game and Banjo Kazooie is like similar time and they want that and that is a symbol in some ways of that style of rare game the character of conquer doesn't matter and to think that that will sell the idea or the device or the make it worse because some people will not buy it is a complete misunderstanding like oh we got this brand stick the brand on great value add no value remove
Starting point is 02:04:56 some time in some cases and this is one of those cases with cameo yeah that would have been fine or grabbed by the Gullies child yeah sure fuck that kid yeah by the fucking with the Gullies punched in the dick kid grabbed him so so it's the worst the worst well here's the thing is this is the only piece of hollow lens related news I've that's crossed my Paris since the announcement of the hollow so here's the deal right as well we know that human beings work at Microsoft
Starting point is 02:05:28 I think we know a couple of them can confirm right it would behoove Microsoft to like in case you forgot Willie yeah that's the old conquer that's the new one yes you forgot the new one is we put a suit on the Ice Age rat yeah you know that you're so right it would behoove Microsoft as a company to appear to have humans working there that understand people in a general way and how and how much the executive like as mascot thing actually affects sales is always going to be up
Starting point is 02:06:08 for debate but Microsoft's been doing a really like even for them bad job at it lately with stuff like this Sony got us got me and you to turn around on Sean laden man that we almost well that we would not have pissed on if he was on fire the first time we saw him I think I think like hollow lens will still be a cool thing to try out I think you know I think that thing is fucking radical I think that AR technique technology is super cool someone that's not these the devs when I see
Starting point is 02:06:41 doctors and construction workers and shit like that using it to do cool shit yeah yeah yeah yeah for sure it's it reminds me so much of the connective like that's a really cool piece of technology and I also think it has applications in like party kind of settings sure you know what's on my forehead it's a dick yeah well exactly I keep talking and no one explodes type games I totally that's a perfect setting absolutely well but until then yeah I know like indifference plus a shit on
Starting point is 02:07:10 my face like okay with all of that shit on your face wipe it off in the dark tossed out salads and scrambled shit you lost me you lost me for sure okay sci-fi souls is coming from the Lords of the Fallen devs I probably imagine they hate the fact that there it's be everything they do is being called that yeah this is called the surge Namco hired them to make a souls game yeah like Namco wasn't like happy enough with a souls game every year so they needed to hire like Europeans
Starting point is 02:07:53 to make another one wait Ben I like I was the publisher of the of these developers yeah so they hired someone to make a souls right yeah we own the souls IP sorry I thought I thought or are we we published the souls things yes and from soft can't do more than one a year we need more double down then again this is sci-fi souls which is what everyone wants here's what we got I had I kind of I resent this because it means that like the from software didn't do it first which means
Starting point is 02:08:26 well they could salt the earth on it but or Miyazaki can just look at this and turn his nose up and be like fucking idiots I'm gonna look at it who yeah so so what is the president what we have is a descriptor is a screenshot with a dude inside a mech suit and it's like a game where you'll rip limbs and rip off limbs and punch building sized robots while sort of dressed like Matt Damon and Elysium yeah you actually like Matt Damon and Elysium and a weird poll yeah the setting seems
Starting point is 02:09:03 to involve robots so you got my vote what if Dark Souls 3 has robots it doesn't what the but okay are they automatons I just mean like a mecha because if they're if they're agonist style robots like I'm on board like the finals of no the final of Cinder just the orbital frame okay well that'd be the shit though with it because flexile century to me is basically a robot but it's not a robot no I mean like with the fucking energy lines and the gun there's a whole plot dump on this
Starting point is 02:09:39 thing yeah ignore me please that's all there but I mean really and truly it's more just like loads of fallen guys are now going for a site hopefully they do better than they did with Lord's Fall where's the fall is not even bad it's not even bad well the deciding factor is going to be the gunplay in a souls speed combat world yeah hopefully they do better than they did with Lord's Fall it was a it was a strong first attempt by a bunch of people that I've never heard before I heard of
Starting point is 02:10:05 before they're all from CD project yeah they made thing before well I was not familiar with them but good good verse attempt hopefully they do better there's room in that space because really only from soft makes them it'd be nice to see some competition you know what else you know what other space has room for more games your ass always always always you know that voice in my head that makes me want to say the worst thing at all times mean your voice that yeah that moment I
Starting point is 02:10:36 couldn't I could when somebody says you know what else has more room I like it's it's yeah it's impossible what it's your ass oh I see fit a lot up there well whenever you're ready jar yeah like a jar oh no you've used my own mind against first reflect oh we know each other way to call a Cthulhu re announced switches developers to cyanide studios yeah two years ago focus entertainment announced that the developers of all those Sherlock Holmes games that we all
Starting point is 02:11:14 ignore like crimes and punishments and punishments was making this and then you'd see on their website two years ago they'd be like here's our concept art and yeah just this week focus says now cyanide studios if you guys recall are the developers of that Game of Thrones RPG we played oh but also but also sticks that goblin game you know that one yeah yeah not beef which is actually a decent game my excitement grows yeah it's a thing like I'm happy any which
Starting point is 02:11:50 way man the but they re announced this that this is coming out now and where we change studios and like that's never a great thing but it's never a death warrant to stuff it's never had to agree but you know it's it's a psychological investigation game which that's I I'll play that I'm into that don't be scared just be prepared for the worst as long as there's not gunfights against a gun the worst is cool it's just called a Cthulhu right there's three Lovecraft
Starting point is 02:12:28 games and developer right now I want this food to either be delicious or make me throw up if I can't remember this meal you have failed yeah exactly I'd rather remember the meal then then enjoy it I was about to break the next story but I instead I decided to go check Castle Vidcons and see if they broke it in a better way that I possibly could that's a that's a long shot nowadays I think he must know that he must know that has maybe maybe maybe no damn it it's real 599 US
Starting point is 02:13:00 dollars rip rip and piece Castle Vidcons well this piece of news would be perfect for them Lord Vita is a no longer going to have any production Lord Vita's firstborn son Vita TV in Japan is now cease production yes it's everywhere and it's not just Japan anything you have to oh really it's everywhere it's done Vita TV is done oh it said the the article that came out seemed to specific I later saw like confirmation that it was everywhere refresh it I don't
Starting point is 02:13:35 know you know but saying Japan really just Japan they're still making American Vita TV well no they just haven't announced that they've discontinued it all right yeah Japanese website so in that article the PlayStation TV never broke 200,000 units out it's a hundred dollars how I bought one hundred and I haven't taken it out of its package but I bought it don't do it now yeah but you know what though like again
Starting point is 02:14:05 it's it's an it's a secondary like unit a thing it's a unit that made it better in every way it's a definition of a fucking like tertiary device I'm happy with my hundred bucks same here Sony's not no really but I mean the reasons I got it like exist on the thing on it right now on my memory card hundred hundred bucks for consoles at that impulse level it's like one good game you know what would have been better than
Starting point is 02:14:34 making the Vita TV make make the the memory cards not be more expensive than some consoles you're right that that actually should have been the the fix you're right how about making a non-proprietary memory oh no wait what Sony okay the things you just said are actually the same thing yeah kind of no but I'm saying but what I'm saying but what I'm saying is that'll never happen because Sony that's the one thing that Sony still does they have modernized so much of their
Starting point is 02:15:04 business they stubbornly refuse to take a guess why because it's a profitable it's still profitable of course it is I guess so that mule is making money no kick it it doesn't care but it's making money after the UMD how could you possibly had made money on that like how they didn't make money on the UMD but then how well then why they double down on memory sticks oh because the UMD there's a difference between because UMD users mini discs yeah that's all they are no I know
Starting point is 02:15:37 they are but they are like proprietary so anything like I think the UMD is sadder than HD DVDs you're right UMD sad UMD gets an extra shit point because the UMD stands for universal media and indeed and the balls to name the most proprietary shit ever universal yeah it's it's it's covered in a plastic sleeve that makes it a cartridge I always I always assumed I needed to take off another layer and you don't know how many times I was just like what but I don't the answer lies in the
Starting point is 02:16:13 heart of what you just said the HD DVD is embarrassing why because Blu-ray one yeah which would be it would be the king of everything Sony's making that Blu-ray money forever and that's that's where they won there for sure yeah that in their medical equipment are gonna forever be and their insurance companies I think to yes they're quite there their insurance division is quite quite profitable everything but their phones or the other was it TV monitors dude was it TV TVs being
Starting point is 02:16:42 like a big loss for them I mention it when it happened when they started to downsize that's why Sony TVs are the fucking best they are the best TVs and the fact that in the relatively near future you will not be able to get like as many or as good like it's a fucking bummer they have the lowest input lag they have the best picture sucks so what you're saying is if I wanted to go and watch Gods of Egypt the best possible way to do so would be on a Sony television yes all right yeah
Starting point is 02:17:17 one that's what I want to watch one of Egypt however one that's off no says the entirety of North America so I'm not sure if you saw this Pat but the budget for Gods of Egypt was reported a hundred and forty million dollars and it barely cracked 14 million over the over it's it's a shame they didn't have enough money to hire black people. Now you know who's the most but hurt about this? Gerard Butler. Egyptian white people? No. Gerard Blut Blut Blut Blutler? Gerard
Starting point is 02:17:46 Blutler. You know what they should have done? I know a way they could have made it. These actual Egyptian Gods themselves? Maybe. Raw? They could have made everyone happy by just having Gerard Butler play in blackface. Yeah. That's all they had to do. They could have. They could have but they back down. Well, he loves these types of stories. I think that's why. Maybe the mummies alive are upset. No, no. What's the meat and potatoes here? Director Alex Pryas. Director
Starting point is 02:18:12 of Dark City. Yeah. The pro and iRobot. Yeah. Get that for a fucking. It's a weird. That's a resume right there. Goes on for 20 minutes in text about how shit movie critics are these days. You know what I love about this? I saw a poster for Gods of Egypt ages ago whenever those posters started to go up and I was I think I was with you guys and I pointed at it and said that's gonna fucking bomb and you all went mm. There was no doubt from any human on this earth that
Starting point is 02:18:51 this would be a disaster. It was like. Yeah. Embarrassing in concept written in the sky alongside things like stealth and I can't think of anything shitty. The second the first attack on Titans made a show load of money but the second one kind of. Whatever but just like from fucking a thousand paces. You can you can see the failure. Is there any choice quotes in there? Well actually there's one that I don't even 100% disagree with. What's that? And it's funny general
Starting point is 02:19:24 populace is stupid. So does the the Joe Blu article writer where he says a locker critic in a room with a movie known as ever seen and they'll probably not know what to make of it and I will agree that some of the worst video game critics at least because I know that a bit more will definitely write according to to hype what the people think right now and what they're supposed to say hype like you said yeah versus what the actual thing is they're trying to write for
Starting point is 02:19:53 their audience a little too much you're out for the same guy. What are you saying is the bad publicity of Gods of Egypt in like you like fed into a lot of reviewers minds and he's like calling them out because of that. Yeah you know what I'm sure deep down with loaded opinions and that's why they didn't like my movie. You know what I really want to wash this film just to get that is that is the loudest and most common cry of anyone who gets a bad review on anything. The
Starting point is 02:20:21 only reason you don't like it is because you decided you didn't like it before you even watched it ate it saw it taste like playing it it fuck off as far as choice quotes go though. Where was it here we go this time of course they have bigger access to grind that's friends those guys suck they can rip into my movie while trying to make their mainly pale asses look so politically correct by screaming whitewash that like the deranged idiots they all are.
Starting point is 02:20:49 You whitewashed your movie that doesn't matter what people are saying or where they're coming from it. You fucking took a black country and made it all white people dumb or choose to pretend to not understand what this movie is so as to serve some bizarre consensus of opinion which has nothing to do with the movie. I think I said this camera once but like if you're going to look at the poster of this and you know what you have to have one big white guy there you have to you have to you
Starting point is 02:21:16 have but that's all the major roles are big white guys it's Jamie Lannister and Gerard Butler and who someone plays raw it's like oh God who is it's like a well-known British Jeffrey Rush. He plays that one cool black guy that can multiply though that's the God of wisdom and he appears and apparently he's an idiot. We got some good hits in the right. You can't even get mad because it's so ridiculous. It isn't Africa. No, no, no, no, no, no. Come on. The general tone. We're
Starting point is 02:21:50 telling a story here or what the general tone of that movie should be able to go see the story or willy plus. No, get out of here. No, we know we got movie tickets to sell man. You know what I do imagine if they had blood diamond and it was like all in the same roles like that's why blood diamond is cool because it has the white dude that you need if you like you have to relate to something but you but he's basically teamed up. It's basically you can't relate to nothing. Yeah,
Starting point is 02:22:22 you need a human being. Right. So yeah, well, yeah, no, you can't. Hey, hey, woolly. Yeah, come on. Let's be real. We can't just film nothing. If no one if if we put just the blood diamonds and then roll credits and the credit state the blood diamonds. Woolly, if we were going to put Ken Watanabe on the poster of the last Samurai, no one would have gone to see that movie. Yeah, we got to sell tickets, man. Dude, the last Samurai poster is still the worst thing in the world. It's
Starting point is 02:22:55 the worst. No, God's of Egypt is worse. No way. It says God's of Egypt and there's a million characters. It's got Tom Cruise dressed up as Saminovsky. And you know what the movie wasn't even as embarrassing as that. No, the movie's actually quite good in the last Samurais Ken Watanabe, but it's the plural and it's about the the general group. But but the poster is like fuck. Are you serious? Ashes and seas. Shit is hilarious. Yes, Tom Cruise is a big get. So that one's okay. You know what I
Starting point is 02:23:29 like about this quote is that sometimes you look at a movie and you'll go, Oh, that guy was forced to do that. No, he was forced to directly by the studio. Yeah, it was for but his post. He believes in the movie down on it. He loves it. He thinks is great. And then that like kudos to you. It's hilarious. I really want to watch this. Hey, that I made that guy that's the leader of the bandits in the mummy, who's actually a real Persian prince is super interesting fair and he's not a
Starting point is 02:24:00 real prince is not a real Persian prince. Shut up. That's crazy. Interested in taking the role of Prince of Persia. What? No, he can't have it because Jake Gyllenhaal. Okay. All right. I rewatched the Persian not too long ago and I actually think Jake Gyllenhaal is fine. Like he's okay as it and they say he's not Persian. He's just this regular street archer, right? But it's everyone else. The King of Persia is white. His two brothers are not are not dark people who are made
Starting point is 02:24:32 to look darker. What I want everyone the bad part. I remember I remember seeing the mummy when I was quite young and seeing Odette fair being like this fucking badass and being like and even as a kid being like, well, that solves that problem. Just cast Odette fair in every like Arabic role ever done. Yeah. And then that never happened. He got cast as a Hispanic guy in Resident Evil. He's supposed to be Carlos Saliviera in Resident Evil. Dude, so everyone everyone needs to go to go do
Starting point is 02:25:08 their homework and you need to go look up the trailer at the very least for the Conqueror the Conqueror. Oh, you saw that you saw that John Oliver bit. No. Oh, because that that was mentioned. You're talking about the Conqueror with John Wayne. John Wayne. Yeah, I did not see a John Oliver bit. This is just something I know about this because because that was the center. So the Conqueror. I want Matt to guess who the yeah. Okay. Who is the Conqueror played by John Wayne in the
Starting point is 02:25:36 Conqueror? Genghis Khan. Yes. Genghis Khan played by John fucking Wayne. I know about it from 1956. Oh, it's the go watch this fucking trailer and just see the way things were done. All right. Put the fucking mascara on the little most and you're good to go. So what you're saying is progress has been made. Well, I guess if you consider fucking that combined with the fact that some 220 people died because they filmed downwind from a super nuclear plant or whatever and the
Starting point is 02:26:16 nuclear testing was going on right on the place where they were filming. At Bikini at all. And everyone got super cancer and died really hard. Bonus. So I guess yeah, things have improved. Progress has been made. These it usually happens with the main characters like remember exodus, gods, gods and kings or whatever the Ten Commandments remake or whatever. You know, Christian Pales, Moses, Moses. Fine. Sure. I understand. But but Ramses or whatever his brother is fucking
Starting point is 02:26:46 Joel Eglinton, the most non like no, no. These are the mistakes like actually the main hero. Yes, I understand you need to reach the widest audience. So you need to put a human apparently in the role. Daniel Daniel Day, Lewis last of the movie or Black Panther or Will Smith. He's basically will Smith is is like the one. Hey man, I told you already non threatening shades. Yeah, non threatening parents just don't understand. That's what's important. That's
Starting point is 02:27:20 what's important. I really want I need to go see Gods of Egypt because there's this one thing that's the takeaway. No, no, because let me finish not because of any of that. That's all still bullshit. Whatever. It's just got the one shot where people are armored warriors with cool armor and they're flying the sky like they're like the star stargate armor. I'm like, ah, fuck. Ah, shit. Man, you know what that's cool. You know what shows awesome stargate sg one. Yeah, that show is great.
Starting point is 02:27:53 I like Atlantis. You're crazy. I am but I like it too. You know, it's a stargate stargates are good movie. I love let's start there. Shall we? But dude, in sg one, it's MacGyver. Yeah, I know, but in stargate, it's fucking Kurt Russell. It's win for everyone. It really is. That guy's got that guy's got the ram horn symbol on his head and he's all like, oh, it looks the best man. Everyone likes it. It's great. You mean D mob? Yeah. Remember, don't forget. Christopher judge is
Starting point is 02:28:24 fantastic. Yeah. Nobody ever beat stargates. No one will ever figure out the seven and there was that one season where tilt grew hair and was the weirdest thing. Oh, I like that was the weirdest thing in the world. Whatever I saw him doing that. I was like, I need to take a shower. Well, did I ever explain to you the ultimate bedshitting that stargate sg one does? Um, it's the ultimate. There's nothing that tops it. The last season. No. Okay, so stargate sg one builds up
Starting point is 02:28:53 after eight seasons to an episode entitled threads in which they take every single plot element that has ever been introduced in even the smallest detail and completely and satisfactorily resolve them in a fucking mastercraft amazing like two hour long episode. Okay. And then the studio says give us two more seasons. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yes. That's that's because I have a friend that's really into it. And she she she told me a similar story. I've never it's
Starting point is 02:29:29 like Naruto. Yeah. You get to threads and you watch it and people tell you just stop. Yeah. Yeah. I know you have the seasons that you don't. Here's it. There's nothing else. It's crazy. It's crazy. Here's another spin on that. Spartacus the TV show popular did good did well had a had a good progression point and they had a good first season. Alright, let's start more. The main character the actor has super cancer. Okay. Alright prequel. Um. He's better. Bring him back. What do you
Starting point is 02:30:09 mean you're not on board? Wait he died now. That's the progression. He came back for a bit then suddenly died. Yeah. That's rough. No stupid hot. No I heard about that and that's that's just a shitty place to be. I am I am shocked the game of Thrones has had not had more trouble due to the amount of incredibly old people that are in that show. I was thinking that too. Like one of the people did die but they're off. He was like dead in the show. They're they're like like over
Starting point is 02:30:39 a dozen people in that show that look like they're always going to be in their mid to late 80s. And guess what if they did it this script would roll with it. Yeah. What happened? He fucking died. Wasn't he the show? Yeah, but we're in Westeros so he died. Shut up. He's fucking dead. We're spoiling the books now. So yeah, I guess we had this one more story. What's the name of the works of Mercy is a first person horror game that seems to be kind of got an interesting
Starting point is 02:31:09 concept. Have you seen this? I have not. No. So I guess PT gets mentioned but I mean I guess it's just like in terms of first person like you're stuck in your second one apartment. Right. I see. But a deal is is fucking whatever kidnapper creepy man calls you up on the phone plays for you the sounds of your kidnapped wife and daughter. That's rough and basically says you're going to help me by killing a bunch of random people. Not many games are willing to like go that
Starting point is 02:31:41 hard on the appeal like that brutal. You have to listen to what I say otherwise you're going to get some body parts. So remember how it works and manhunt with that guy is constantly in your or that's a deal you can't refuse. Yeah. You know that works a manhunt with the guys in your ear telling you like kill these people and do this. It's kind of like that where he guides you through. Yeah, but it's you do a bunch of tasks that person Brian Cox. It's it's not
Starting point is 02:32:03 it's a creepy ish British the weird older man voice. So we like conceptually we have something interesting. So the trailer kind of stops before anything actually goes down. Yeah. But like step one is like call this hooker over to your house and here's the tools you're going to need to use to kill her knock knock knock on the door end of trailer. I feel like uncomfortable even listening to this this breakdown this game seems cool and as you're playing your you get you
Starting point is 02:32:32 have like little choices to say I'm like what do you want me to do like do I know this person and you ask what did this hooker do and the guy says I'm that's not up to you. Yeah, this feels like it could either be like kind of like amazing or like just it could be exactly exactly and here's why here's why you know what I just did. I just did the thing that they do when the manga Gaka comes up with a new killing game rule set which is premise danger. Okay, there's nine
Starting point is 02:33:02 doors right and there's nine and there's nine people could you and they all have watches right. What if and then what if and do you have a satisfactory explanation only how long was it when you were playing 999 that you've you turn the corner and you're like oh this is not going to be trash it's going to be amazing to endings in yeah. Yeah, so you're the yeah you're totally you're you're you're you're examples perfect it's like I don't know this could be anything this this this
Starting point is 02:33:30 has the full range of quality and 999 is one of the few that turns out to not be trash because most of them do because they didn't think it through and 999 is a slam dunk because boy did they think it through. No one else thinks it through they just go wouldn't it be cool and they go ship it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So here's the sound village. Oh, yeah. So why is this guy doing this? What are his motivations? That is that's the whole thing works of mercy is a solid fucking name too.
Starting point is 02:34:00 No, so it's a lot of time. It's a lot of time. The letters of times. Boy, there's a storm is going to hit us really bad. Yeah, power showing power showing me a big red death zone for where we are Google alerts put a red thing in my in the top of my phone going fuck there's a winter storm warning active for 12 hours. You fucking get home and you fucks cut to that picture the snowman holding the icicle spike. Hazardous winter conditions are expected frost roller is
Starting point is 02:34:29 walrus riding through Fajrana drifts. Yeah, I have never seen this phrase ever the snow combined with strong winds will also give nil visibilities in blowing snow. That's still not that's pretty nuts, but that's nothing compared to thunder snow. Yeah, so I have a flight tomorrow morning. Hey, looks like it might not nothing tops cancel their delay. Nothing tops those magical Quebec words that are freezing rain. Hey, Matt, I have some documents I would
Starting point is 02:35:03 like you to sign before you leave today. Oh, no, that's bad here. Here. We already got a notice like hours ago saying yeah, your shit's probably going to get delayed. We're just giving you a heads up. You might want to sleep in. Yeah, God, I could use it and the irony, of course, is that you're using I'm trying to get out of it and it says no. I want to get out that email is super best friend cast at gmail.com. You know what isn't affected by snow and blizzards email that's super
Starting point is 02:35:33 best friend cast at gmail.com. What are we got for emails this week? Tyler wants to know what your favorite lockpicking mini game puzzle is. My favorite lock game mini game puzzle is the oblivion one where you have to push up the tumblers. I think far and away the absolute I didn't play thief the absolute best. Yeah, the absolute like next. It should be right. Yeah, it because here's here's what you know what Willie at some point. Yeah, I want I want to come over and I
Starting point is 02:36:04 just want you to just have it on and just show me what the fuck that thing is because I'll describe it as best I can for the viewers and maybe at some point in the future people will see it. But here's what you can probably look this up on you to probably you use both sticks to rotate as if a pair of actual lockpick. Okay, the the pick and the and the and the holder and the pick and the hook and then you rotate them until you hit the right sensitive spot, which is a very,
Starting point is 02:36:30 very, very slight rumble on that side controller and then you hook in the other one and push. Okay. And there you get your lockpick when you are fucking scrambled for time, however, and you upgrade your abilities, you can then do the focus version of this where you go, you do the same thing, but it goes into the locks view and you can see the lifts of the lock mechanism pulling and pushing that that part is similar to the oblivion one, which you then lineups to be flush and pull
Starting point is 02:37:00 it right out. Now the I want to give honorable mention to the New Vegas fall three fall four style lockpicking, not because it's anything special, but because it's fast. You don't like lockpicking. And no, I actually love it. I actually love lockpicking. But like, there's a point that system is very simple and very effective. And I've got really good at it. And you know, guess what? Both your examples are shit. All right, let's hear it. It's saw saws is pretty good.
Starting point is 02:37:31 It's first person. You are the lockpick. Yeah. And you have to time yourself as you see the tumblers going and then the camera goes from your your character's face into it. It's so stupid. It's a genuinely cool idea. I actually like it. It's really dumb. You your your camera is the front of the pick. Yeah. I don't even it's so good. You have to look up a movie. It's like the one thing of that game that's like whoa. Okay. Good lockpicking mini game can substantially improve a game.
Starting point is 02:38:03 Also, I think I think it's like the the second or third spinner cell where they really are starting to nail it. And I want to give I want to give a big thumbs down. It's not lockpicking, but it is hacking to bio shock bio shock infinite. And what was the recent one that I was playing that had the shitty hacking by shock by shock to no, no, it's the same as by shock one. So I don't even include it. It's not they change this completely. It's not the water pipes. They
Starting point is 02:38:29 got rid of the water pipes. What is it most often by shock to it's the it's a simplified just like lights. I think that's better than the pipe action system that the pipe thing is gone. Shit. I can't remember the end fall out. The hacking and all of those terrible just terrible. Just the worst. In fact, you know what game has fucking awesome hacking day sex revolution. That's a good one. Shit, man. I love I love that game. That game is fun. That game is fun. Oh, so good. The
Starting point is 02:38:59 though the the the pipes were only in bio shock. They got rid of them in infinite. There's Yeah, no, in infinite. You know what you do? You point a magic hand at that thing you want to hack and you just take it over. That's not even a hacking minigame. Come on, get out of here related question coming in from Michael and he wants to know what the best door unlocking opening sound is. Yeah, like always the only game that really puts emphasis on it. No, there's others. I like a
Starting point is 02:39:22 big heavy bolt. You know, you know, my house where I live now, like that kind of clunk when you do it. I like that. I like a big heavy ball. I don't like a creek. Like I like it like a it's hard to it's hard to pick any particular one out. But Resident Evil like you call it will be Resident Evil has the best. There's not really much that crosses my mind that that is the thing I like to be very low sounding. I don't like the high pitched key turn. Yeah, I don't know if it really
Starting point is 02:39:55 counts, but I think the gates of Mordor had a pretty cool like like thing going on. But anyway, yeah, that's already is the thing that puts emphasis to specific. I'd need a lot of time to build up a list. Get even more specific. All right, let's do it. Andy wants to know who's the best Zappeli will a Caesar or Jiro. It's well, I don't know about Jiro. It's fucking Jiro. I will say I will say it's not even a question. I will say Caesar because I don't know Jiro. I also really
Starting point is 02:40:22 like Caesar. He'll add to the length in battle tendency. Yeah, I like he's better than his than his grandpa. Yeah, I agree to that. And I and and really is telling us that the it's a straight line up your quality over time. Okay, Jiro is top billing on steel ball run. Okay. So far he's cooler than the Jojo of that story line. He's three throws the balls and says mozzarella, right? He throws the balls and he does the thing. Yeah. Yeah. Um, in that order. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:40:55 Okay, we got on just an informative one coming in from Sir hat and he just wants to break. He's like thing. The thing about this guy is that it's a normal RPG where you level up along the way and you grind a couple of bits. If you get lucky and you if you sorry if you get stuck and hopefully you're max level by the time you get to the end. Um, what if grinding all the way to the max level was the midpoint of the game? You're probably wondering who would spend hours if not
Starting point is 02:41:20 days just grinding near the wood boss mid boss. I would. This guy is the game for a very specific type of person who likes to grind. I love to level grind. It fills me with joy knowing that I'm stronger than I was. Yeah, it's for Billy hitting the level. It's for Billy hitting the level cap is the bane of any game I've ever played because I know there's nothing left. There's no next horizon and that's it. For me this guy is tanking top and girl lagging. You have no limits
Starting point is 02:41:42 even when you're blowing up solar systems and throwing around galaxies, you know, you can still be better. Yeah, I get it. I know I get it. I don't like it. Billy Billy maxed out all his FFT characters in the first battle. He maxed out all his FF seven characters in the first forest outside of Midgar. Yeah, he's nuts. Yeah, he's great. He's running FF 14 with a Lancer. I'm just psycho understood. Still wrong about that. Psycho. I got nothing. And I guess one of final one is
Starting point is 02:42:17 to pick. Well, Liam can't answer this unfortunately. Again, which stands for form. It's like pick your single favorite to Pokemon. Matt, he's assuming yours is far fetched. He is correct. He's assuming Pat's is EV. No, I think that's not correct. He likes EV, but yeah, it's EV. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. I got a lot of love for Gholirk. I think double edge is really cool. This is new Pokemon shit. I like Zangus. What are you talking about? Yeah, I know, right? I know. That's the thing.
Starting point is 02:42:53 That's not a Pokemon. Some of the new shit is really fucking cool. But it's still gonna be Blastoise. Yeah, yeah, as it should be. Like my other alternate would have been like Venusaur. Venusaur's the shit. I have grown proud of my gen onemanship. Yeah. All right. What's coming up? I was there being a child before you. No. What? He was being a child before you. No, I mean like gen one people get to say to new Oh, I was a bigger child before you were a child. Much bigger
Starting point is 02:43:28 child. What's coming up? I believe we have a new LP starting Saturday or Sunday. Yeah, it's about robots. It's about robots. We might have talked about it in this podcast. No, no, we did it. Yes, you did. Exactly. Robots really. You did. We like it's about it's about the way are we back to not talking about the LPs we're doing. We just did a video went up today yesterday on vessel that spoils people still get people still get super hype anyway. All right. It's about the line between
Starting point is 02:43:59 humans and robots. It's about the line. It's about Detroit. It's about Detroit and Montreal. Please enjoy Robocop on the Xbox and Hanksha. Yeah, you know what? It's not the end of the podcast, but you can see it from here. So that's good. Yeah. What else? Everything else is just continuing NBA XCOM will continue maybe finish. I don't know. Sweet Georgia Brown. Onward. You guys are playing that FFX. You're singing songs and shit I hear. Are we? Yeah, I know. We are. Yeah, we're
Starting point is 02:44:36 singing songs. Yeah, we were singing it yesterday. That's not good. That that particular episode I could be there for. Oh, yeah, sure. We have a fucking great fisticuffs coming up. Unexpectedly. Yeah, that was a good time. And you have to peel through many layers to get to it, though. Yeah, there's some fighting underneath them if you if you pull back the right ones. Yeah, okay. And I think that's it. I think that's it. Yeah, we're not gonna. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, we can we can
Starting point is 02:45:09 probably already announced what the next stream is going to be. Yeah, I'm gonna put the announcement out properly. What's that? But yeah, we're gonna be sitting and we're gonna be playing the new release of Heavy Rain. Wait, wait, wait. Specifically. Wait, who's gonna be playing it? I'm gonna be playing because we have to complete it. We were talking about the way that it should be pre stream existing like the first idea for the stream was this. Yeah, but it kept getting
Starting point is 02:45:36 pushed back because we realized like wait a second. Well, you've never even played Heavy Rain. So of all people of all people, the time is just right because I got a code right here for it happened just a few minutes ago. Ah, it's going down. So I think we're gonna try to maybe hopefully somehow complete the whole thing in one go. I would have to start it early in the day. No, no, no, no, no. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. What's the deal? We got the code. What's the plan?
Starting point is 02:46:11 What's the plan? What's the plan? What's the plan? What's going down? But but but but Liam and I talked about this. We how long to beat it? It's not happening in one session. It's like 12 and a half hours. It's happening in two sessions. Yeah, it's two streams. The speed run is seven hours. I'm thinking in my head. How how is it that long? Because it's because you can't skip anything. It's a pace that David Cage locks you into. There's it's almost as if you try
Starting point is 02:46:37 to make movies over the course of 12 hours because it's impossible. Hey, well, let me ask you on a serious note prior to us diving in a heavy rain. What do you know about heavy rain? I have I have the I know that there's that scene that made Liam emotional. Yeah, I know that it involves playing multiple characters. I know that there's the naked shower thing. Yeah, but that's in every day. And I know that it's apparently the most competent of the games. Yep. That's all
Starting point is 02:47:02 we told you that before the just in case and I also know Jason Jason Jason but that's going to be weird for you to come to after all this time but beyond that my template is pretty much blank school. I'm keeping it that way with the only thing written down is David Cage David Cage. Yeah. He is not in this game. His name is at the top left in the margins. He got points for writing his name. He he did. He did not. Man, we're gonna have to have like a fucking post like when you
Starting point is 02:47:36 beat the game. I'm gonna have to have like a breakdown of the extra bits because there's extra bits. There's knowledge there's forbidden knowledge about heavy rain. Yeah. Yeah. You said you had those like kind of stowed away and then you told me them as I and they blew your mind. They blew your damn mind so bad. It makes it way worse. Oh yeah. I'm not gonna put out a date just yet because I don't know like Matt's leaving for a week. Liam's sick. We should probably think very hard
Starting point is 02:48:05 about the day. We're gonna figure it out. No like any time after after the eighth like the all right. It's March 24th. Right. No. Stop it. We're gonna figure it out. I don't even know what day that is. Um not a Street Fighter Tournament Day. Oh yeah. That one. What are we looking forward to? I'm looking forward to playing. Yeah. I'm looking forward to playing more Street Fighter. I'm looking forward to finishing super hot which I can probably playing more super hot. I can
Starting point is 02:48:34 probably finish super hot like in between the time I get home and like when I have to raid tonight. I'm looking forward to my new life as a complete shut in raiding and and going to the bathroom in the dark and wow both of those are the same pot. Wow. Pretty much and I and I'm looking forward to watching episode two of Gundam Thunderbolt which came out and I haven't checked out yet and it's the hottest new sex. Bro Force finally comes out on the PS4 today I believe the hottest
Starting point is 02:49:03 with all with all the content in there so I'm gonna I'm gonna hasn't Bro Force come out like 10 times. It's come out once in early access and the once as a full steam. So how many characters every time every time there was a new character raiden is in it from Mortal Kombat because I'm like why do I keep hearing about it? It's because those new characters coming and it's also because it won the PlayStation Indie contest. Right. It just destroys the other two whatever
Starting point is 02:49:32 they were. I don't know why they even had a competition there but I'm gonna try to see if I like depending if my flight gets delayed or canceled. I might try that tomorrow and if I do my flight lots and lots you're looking forward to Florida. Yeah I know I'm looking forward to just you might run into Florida man. I made these jokes last year. What about you might run into Florida. I'm gonna have a three hour flight ahead of me so I'm gonna have lots to read
Starting point is 02:49:59 I'm gonna try to finish why the last man stuff like that. Please do. But why? Because he's the last man. Oh York. I hope I never read that so I can still keep making that stupid man. My dad sure was lame. They named us after all these dumb things that made our names dumb. You love Shakespeare. It's really good. It is really good. Shakespeare's cool. If he's so cool how come he's dead. Well he was too cool and then he died. I wasn't an idiot. Wasn't there a movie that said
Starting point is 02:50:30 Shakespeare was a huge plagiarist asshole who stole everything. Oh that's super possible. Not a lot of documentation back then. Hey you go back to like any time before like what fucking 1935. Nothing. You don't know nothing. You don't know nothing. Everything's bullshit. All righty. Thanks for finally pitching in. Wait what was that? It was Oh it's so good. I think we were talking about I think I was like Latin scholars. We were just talking about the Latin language
Starting point is 02:51:02 and it was like the use like maybe we're talking about like the Smash Brothers theme song being awesome. It's like what use was Latin prior to that song. Nothing. Fucking worthless. Who gives a shit. Thanks for finally pitching in into the Smash team. Latin scholars worthless for years up until this point. Good job. It was all for this. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:53:39 Yeah. Yeah.
