I
Say what you will about foggy and say what you will about foggy's an idiot fuck foggy's great
But but what you need to know and what you need to remember if you haven't seen it is the origins of
Spider-man going blind and daredevil having to guide him through what it's like to be blind
Yeah, exactly like the story when the Punisher turns black for a week
He's like guess what Spidey titties feel extra soft, but Spidey's fucking
He's a huge whiny bitch about not having his eyesight and the whole
He's just like I can't do it. No, I'm just I'm just gonna end it all and daredevil
No, and daredevil has thoughts where he's like, okay, I have to pretend
I don't know what's going on here to make Spidey feel useful
So he's like oh geez. I know the bad guys around here somewhere. Yeah. Yeah, what should I do where and spider-man?
Like wait, I have my my spider senses. I can detect. He's over there. Yeah, and then like daredevil's like here was this
This is the old as this is like origins of a lecture and stuff like or
the Frank Miller the one Frank Miller took over it's what when Frank Miller took over exactly and it was just like
You know like daredevil's like I can't let spider-man know that I figured out the whole case already
Or that I know exactly where the bad guys are gonna do it because he's blind and feels useless
Yeah, he's gonna kill himself if he doesn't feel like he can do anything
How can you possibly?
Possibly justify. Oh being blind is so worthless when you're standing next to daredevil who's been crime-fighting for like a decade
Exactly like what a stupid child daredevil has to like I mean the perception of losing like
What is effectively the power of flight because you can't hear kind of right?
Like like five or six times spider-man's about to web swing into a wall and daredevil has to just guide him slightly away
Spider-sense would kick in
Well, here's the problem if it's by a web swinging spider-sense would kick in and tell him danger
But depending how fast he's swinging he might he's putting himself into the danger and an optometrist is looking at him like
Could you take your mask off sir? And it the whole the whole thing is just like
It's just daredevil babysitting spider-man blind. That's awesome. And it's a hilarious awful
Cuz in the dirt a little comic I read where spider-man's constantly like joking around and following him and
Punisher and telling them what to do and shit. He's always calling daredevil magoo
Like should daredevil go. Hey, remember when you were blind?
But if this happened in the 80s
Can possibly a known that that joke was made or not that's interesting. I never knew about that storyline. Thank you
Oh, although speaking of
Um
Well, no, we'll get into that after we'll get into that after cuz you
What was your segue gonna be is a good segue you well
I was gonna say speaking of like the the Luke Cage. Okay. I thought you were gonna go like speaking of blind people
I was like looking of looking struggling. I was struggling to find a connective tissue
I'll get I'll get to that eventually but first we have to bring up that the number 145
What is attributed to a good number?
Pokedex entry 145 which is
Mewtwo is 150 and there's
Dragonite dragon air dratini, and then it's probably one of the three birds. Is this dragon?
I'm not sure which one is it zaptos. It's zaptos the coolest of the birds now
Well, I want to put down my foot on this we can't we need to ease off on the Pokemon
Podcast facts. That was a good one. No, no today's great, but it's too easy
I know but what name another one I've done. No
You've done it perfectly so far. You gotta leave at least 50 between the next one. Don't start doing it
I'm not doing anything after we go past 150. Oh, okay 151 for that matter
Oh, yeah, cuz those aren't even real Pokemon, but notice that we're almost at the edge of 151
Mm-hmm, so I got this one in there and now we're done. Yeah, okay
You know it's nicely handled. There you go crisis averted
Yeah, that crisis that wasn't happening
See cuz Maltras would have been the coolest if it looked more Phoenix like but it's totally totally it's very too gentle
Too soft and round cuz Articuno is just another soft
Maltras looked any cooler. He'd be the coolest and it wouldn't even be a contest. It wouldn't be a contest
Yeah, but so zaptos tough
Articuno is really cool though. It's pretty because it's really pretty. I like it's not cool. It's pretty
The blue colors they use for it like those specific shades. I'm very big fan of yeah, but it looks like a real bird
Yeah, and I want a crazy electric thing. Well, that looks like it's gonna hurt if I touch it. Well
So zap those takes it to me. Yeah, there you go. Oh, you're saying is you want crazy magical birds
Hey, man. Yeah, I guess he does. Hey, man. Hey, if you believe in yourself hard enough
A budgie and a power outlet can make stuff happen
So you're just gonna you're just gonna wear that shirt until it falls off your body
That's right. If only will he had some type of squad you want you want the fun part
There's the second one back there. Who's getting that? I'm giving that to Paige
Wow
All over the place because she hates bird squad. Oh, yeah
That's that's the lubricant you need
Hey, what up shoddy, you know, I got all five birds all five and you know what no one else in my clan got them
So I'm the shit that took them all. I know. Hey, what a nice break. I rolled on those fair
You rolled on those fair. Also, there's only one other person on the server that has all my god
And I might be like only five people to have all them whatever, you know, I'm really happy about I still don't
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm never gonna ask. Don't tell me
And now that you've done that how much more comfortable are you with your inevitable death?
Some what okay, some what all right still not gonna help everybody else get the birds. Yeah
Well, your case of adult diapers is in the mail
Well, I don't work for
chicken people
Topical news. Anyway, hey, so you know who's cool Luke Cage, you know why he's got unbreakable skin
Why cuz he's super hot also because he's a hero for hire or whatever, but but really
Did they even do anything with that anymore?
I don't think he does that anymore. He just well that that's not that's well
That's not what they're good. They're going with in the in this the
Universe clearly it's just him being pissed that people always shoot his clothes
I mean
No, here's no
Here's for hire is cool and all but like I think a looking
Dragon are probably just like the the real pair that everyone wants me I'm sorry and our first rather is there
They're the other everyone wants to see you saw that art
I sent you like a while back a few months ago
It was just this really cool stylistic cartoony art of Luke Cage
Like wearing a suit and has a guy thrown over his shoulder and they look like him and iron fist just beat up a dude
Yeah, I first is like yeah, like walking on
Anyway, yeah, no, that's just dope. So I started watching Jessica Jones finally and there you go
How deep are you in?
Probably about four. Okay. Fucking good. You only have a couple more episodes until the place where the season should have stopped
No, no the the interesting thing I thought it was great all the way through it was right up until that part
So the the thing that's interesting to me is I never read alias and I don't know anything about Jessica Jones outside of
Alias is really awesome. It's Brian Michael Bend. Yeah, no, I'm aware
I'm aware of like the the the names attached, but I just never actually read anything
Relating to her although what I do know is that obviously like yeah, she's she and Luke are a thing
But it's interesting going through this whole like sort of detailed story and sort of not knowing anything about
Where this Marvel story is gonna go outside of hey look, there's Luke Cage
Yeah, you know like every other Marvel cinematic or TV thing that's come out has been like yeah
I know what you're doing. I know your storyline and oh look. It's that guy that I wrecked but in this case
It's super all new and and and is that is interesting
Is episode four have you seen like purple man at that point? Yeah. Yeah, okay. How horrific of a villain is that yeah?
I saw he's great fucking doc doctor who well the David Tennant is fucking
Is also familiar with his power because it's very similar to the power that preacher has preacher
Not preacher has to talk to you though. You have to be with an ear shot
Yeah, and it's true same same for the skull in the earth X universe as well
Where you have to basically be around in some sort of way and it's not just like full-on like I can just sort of
Jean could do that yeah the metal gear right? He had a voice that soldiers couldn't resist not doing it
The purple man is he can he has to be within that range in the beginning
But then you can just leave and that's and go anywhere for like what 12 hours or something
No, that that shit is ridiculous and like yeah in the wrong hands
And it's it's it's really interesting that he's Jessica Jones's villain in this this TV series because he's a villain that gets stronger
The more strong his opponent is basically yeah, right like if if he was gonna have
My line Avengers yeah, yeah like the world is over he would rise to the occasion of whatever he's paired up with
For do it well, okay like him and dr. Doom teamed up that one time and it's like fuck don't fuck with that
Oh, is that a thing at one point? Yeah, I believe they're called the mega powers
God then purple man refused a job just purple man and dr. Doom just looking at each other going
We don't know what we got here brother. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if I should shake his hand. It's too powerful
I
Be great. I think dr. Doom would not be affected just by sheer charisma
Okay, here's the question in the mega powers between do you know and doom which is which doom is Hogan?
Doom is Hogan. Doom is Hogan. Yeah, okay, and I don't feel good about that
But that's that's someone's got to be and someone's gotta be a lot. You know cuz Latveria is basically Hulkam in your life
Dr. Doom hates Luke Cage
Yeah, do my maniacs. Yeah, everyone at Latveria. They're all they like the themes start
And do walks out doing that. Can you hear me?
Somewhere there's a do my maniac in heaven and wrestling for him. Yeah, there's a dude. I can all of us. Oh god
That's good stuff already. I think those intros between Daredevil and the fucking intro for Jessica Jones. I am blown away
I think they're really really cool. Yeah, and I'm gonna watch them every single time
I can't wait to see what they do for I can't I really like the Jessica Jones
I can't remember what they are
The one for Daredevil is just the blood the blood over invisible objects
Okay, and it's the city and then it's eventually the statue of justice and then eventually stairdevil's okay
And what's Jessica Jones is like a water painterly very wolf among us style painterly look at the city people looking looking through windows
People walking through alleyways. I think the reason why I don't remember them is because like when those seasons came out
I put my spot on this couch
Watched it on the first episode and then well, that's three minutes. I can save and watching the next one
The whole thing is basically like
The city that she's watching and then it goes out to her
Who's watching on Netflix? I think after a while if you start watching them enough. They auto skip the intros
I've never had that. I don't think I remember that happening on neither
They skip the credits for sure. They because it auto plays at that point
I've seen other shows where it skips the intros, but the Marvel stuff has stuff before the intros
It's true. Yeah, and all I've ever gotten on Netflix is the are you still there? It's like, yes
I did watch six in the road. I'm dead
I'm fucking dead Netflix and but keep playing the show though. No as I die. I want to see
There so there was that and that's that's a good time
Oh, I'll probably finish that off by next time. It's super good
I think it's my favorite one in terms of writing
But they remember this way when when I when I saw that and I was comparing it over if you
I think you've seen maybe enough by episode four to get this inkling is that like in Daredevil comparing it to season one
It's like Daredevil is the fighting is real awesome
Yeah, and like any interactions with the villains are awesome
But a lot of the in-between guess work of like oh, where's the money going?
Yeah, and where's whatever that was always a little blancing the total opposite and Jessica Jones almost every
Conversation and interaction is cool and meaningful and I like it
Yeah, but every action scene has been fucking shite. It's been nothing terrible
There was that there's a bit of special effects where she does jumps and does a little
Crazy how bad it is. Yeah Daredevil
It's so weird and they do some weird cuts to not have to show her using power
Yeah, so you just see weird close-ups for nothing. It was not impressive
I totally agree with you Liam
I think the writing was like stronger than than Daredevil except for like one thing that it
It starts to frustrate me in like three four episodes to go. Yeah, and then it gets really frustrating sure. Yeah
But like luckily she's fighting a villain that doesn't physically punch her with his fist good
Sure, and you know and and yeah, and again like we're gonna get the Luke Cage show as well
And you'll be just punching everyone
Walking out of the shower for two hours. What do you think iron fist is gonna be punching sure not gonna kick them even more
I'm really that's lots of kids
interested in in seeing what iron fist is gonna like look like yeah, is it gonna be shot more Hong Kong
Style like action. Well, it's still gonna be in hell's the last dragon. No, but I mean in terms of like the
Blocking yeah, there's the like big wide
Sleeping dogs, you know hanging out in Chinatown modern day, you know, it's fine. Yeah, I'm sure it'll work out
But yeah, so that that's going I finished off the speedrunners and
Yeah, that's a solid ass game now speed. Is there a single player there is a single component
It's taught to how you unlock the rest of the maps and I never knew that was basically
Yeah, and then there's these not so great comic book panels that like kind of to fill in the back stories of the things
Oh, wow, it's not it's almost like putting a story to knit hog
It's I was gonna say the characters kind of look like nothing so there's not much it all does have a story
But yeah, well, is it the the tail of the knit hog? No, even if it did it's about getting the dick
I was gonna say even if it does they don't shove comic panels in yeah, so a little unnecessary
but in any case still really really fun and
You them like you find out that like there's ways to avoid a lot of the attacks that people can
Yeah on you and the attacks of multiple functions as an offensive or defensive tool
So that's a kind of fun like multi-purpose thing that kind of like
Develops not right away. You kind of learn eventually like oh, I can use everything in one or another way to counter something else
Very smart. I've only seen it at cons, but boy. I've seen it a lot at this point
Yeah, and now that I've sat down and tried it. I know why
You know that that's worth a look. I
Continued playing tales of the borderlands. Yes
I am midway through the second part now
and I can
Absolutely with certainty say that this is 100 percent telltale's best. Okay. I'm at episode four
I haven't played in a little bit, but yes, it is easily their best and like not just because well except for the first walking dead
But but not just because of the the writing and sort of the funny stuff and the way it's put together
But like the direction and the style and the interesting shots
They do and the music and stuff like it all comes together
You really picked the right telltale game to LP that one time. I was I was yeah, you picked Minecraft. Yeah
I think that was a good idea. Well still eventually coming
I'm I'm still do you not remember the part where I said I want to leave borderlands for the possibility of me and Matt some
Time they did and then you started to play it by yourself
I
Cheater as good as it is. I'm honestly just burnt out. Yeah, I don't even care
If it's good at this point. Oh, that's fair. Telltale burnout is real. We've talked about it multiple
There's too many too fast. I would rather wait
And try Batman instead totally
Yeah, yeah that like like Batman's or the Marvel. I really want to see what the Marvel things gonna be
Yeah, or the Marvel thing because at least that source material after after game of thrones after game of thrones
I feel like Batman or Marvel might be more like that than it
The Marvel thing is gonna be one of one of the bottle of Jack Daniels and your pals are all a bunch of pills
And it's the story of how to get inside Tony's body
Yeah, all I can say all I can say Matt is that like we don't know what those new things will be
Whereas right now I can't say we do know that the borderlands is the best. Yeah, that sounds great, dude
And I know walking dead season one was fantastic because a lot of that was also the first time we were experiencing that type of stuff
But I still I think it's better sure, okay
I to me it goes above it. So that's really cool, and I
Teased a little bit that I was starting a Bioware game. Oh, and I did start that Bioware game
And these are all good pics
And by start that was spending at least a solid 45 to an hour
fighting it after installing it
Okay, getting it to
Run at the right resolution that way that changes the person what okay? What are you playing?
I'm playing Kotor. Okay, Kotor one. Yes, okay, and that's good-ass game. That's what I'm that's what I'm fine
He's aged to find out. So here's the question that thing does not want to run on a modern
The irony is that Kotor one was like very well polished when it came out and Kotor two was a fucking mess
Flaming trainwreck, but now on steam today
Kotor one is hard to get running on modern things and Kotor two has controller support
Yeah, oh does it yeah one doesn't and I'm like god damn it or two as controller support steam workshop
We're so support for the for the mod pack and it runs in native resolutions
Shit and ups like if it's if it's that bothersome
There is an excellent mobile conversion of the game actually. Yeah
The one by I think asper media is excellent, but you've got it working
Yeah, I did, but I considered just going to like of the Xbox
Yeah, just get a disc and just just get a disc and play it. That's a good choice actually
I'm pretty sure no, you know what you can just buy it digitally on your 360
I think maybe so will they have to ask because because hold on like I'm editing I and I files to get full-screen
Toggle on and off
Resolutions you went to win full screen. What's it called widescreen gaming and found all that those those not even just support
Community, okay, you know and and I'm fucking
Tweaking that shit around and then you get it for you get it finally windowed
But your mouse cursor is not accurate to where yeah highlighting dude, and it's just a well
Just buy a disc my my advice to you would actually have been to not play like play it and it's and it's
4x3 resolution
Because it's so much simpler that way the way it was meant to be I've come to I've come to a solution
Which is like not great, but whatever. Yeah, it's running in a window
And if you if and when you decide to actually move on and play the second one, it's it's plug-and-play good. It's it's good
So coder one that's a good-ass game. It's also very old. It's before Bioware started the troubles
Yeah, it's it's their golden age. It's when they're tutorials reference d20s. Yeah, yeah
So how far in oh not 45 minutes. He's in the first area first area. Okay first area and have you made your decision yet?
Because I'm not sure how familiar you are with the Bioware thing the the strongest
Way to go through is to pick one decision and write it all the way to the end of the game
So you're gonna be a good guy. You're gonna be a fucking piece of shit
Yeah, well, I'll find it's gotta get that first. I don't know. He's not even you haven't you haven't hit the moment
Where it's like burn this baby alive or give it a lollipop. Yeah, no, sorry, baby
I believe you meant to say younglings because honestly, they're both really entertaining in their own right
I I can't say that I I did sit through watching my friend play a bunch of I did that as well back in the day
My friend had it, but I just kind of wanted to do it for myself
Like the the the moral extremes in Kodar one are the farthest apart of any game I can ever think of
Hmm, it's it's it's lit like it's like shining light of Christ
Versus twirl your mustache as the maiden is on the fucking
Rare way tracks it also harkens back to a time when characters would be like
Like okay, you're on the ship and remember what your job is it was to do this and that all right now
Remember press the X button and tilt the camera up so that you can select I actually really like me
I will have my tools. I really really like that
You can then go to the inventory screen and equip yourself with whatever and it's like a total annihilation
Of the fourth wall by a mechanic
Smashing it down and it's like voice acting. Yeah, it's super weird. Oh god, like I thank God
We moved on from that. No bring it back. I love that stuff. I love that control conceit
So yeah, I'm a wrangle vet for a little bit more and if I apps after the second session if I can't deal
I'm gonna just gonna go ahead on Xbox. Yeah, no, it's a good choice. It's a it's a good game
Really looking forward to that big single-player Star Wars thing by Amy Henning. Yeah, definitely really whatever it is
Whatever the fuck it is here Amy Henning has like a golden touch with this kind of stuff
At least for the talkie bits the talkie bit at it. Yeah, she's very good at it
Amy Henning is the writer for all the Legacy of Cain games and then all the Uncharted games
Oh well one through three. She didn't do good. She didn't do she did not do golden business. She left before four
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but she's the dialogue lady that does the dialogue real real real good
and the range between
Legacy of Cain and Uncharted is pretty bad
Yeah, that's true for all the like legitimately generic gameplay that the Uncharted games do have yes the dialogue between the characters is great every
Plus every time. Oh speaking of Uncharted. How is it? It's great. Yeah. Yeah, it's very good
I think Matt played it a bit too and played up until the fourth mission at which point the fourth mission with the video game made
Me have like a weird existential right. Yeah, I had to put it down for a while
So I'm like allegedly two hours from the end of the game according to how long to beat
It's fucking great, but it's like it's the same thing where it's like you spend
A third of the game mashing X to climb faster on walls
And that bit just and you spend never gets super fun one sixth of the game just walking around while people talk
Good dialogue which is the fine bit because I want to hear the dialogue. Yeah, and then the shooting is good. Yeah
It's not bad shooting. Yeah, you shoot guys and
But but like the presentation and the quality of everything a billion trillion dollars on this game. Yeah, it just
It's amazing how they just keep putting new set piece even stuff that isn't set piece stuff looks amazing
Like I want to be clear when when Liam or I would described Uncharted as generic like it's of it's it's a vanilla ice cream cone of a video game
Very good. It is
The it is the third person shooter and it is everything that that genre is and it
But that doesn't take away from its quality. No, it's super good the best vanilla ice cream cone ever has
It's just a long indiana jones movie. Yep
It's really entertaining and this game has got a lot of
Send ups to the previous game totally
The attic thing is really early in in an attic where you can look at a bunch of stuff from the previous games and
I'll remember when I killed all those minorities. Yes, they were blue
And he's got little targets on the ceiling of all the the bosses of the previous games that you can shoot at with a little
ping-pong ball gun. You guys see that that uh
What you call it the petition to remove move that one one negative review on metacritic
That's stupid. Uncharted fans are crazy. There's one negative review as well. It happened with three
They're crazy. Yeah people like their vanilla ice cream. It happens with every game. We're like also like in the in the uh
Oh, yeah, jaffy. Everyone got that. That was the jaffy thing
What jaffy said uncharted 3 wasn't that impressive and he got uh, maybe yeah
And it was euro gamer that got the brunt of it for I remember I know for uncharted 3 the reviews were lower than 2 because
2 is kind of yeah, it's not as good as 2
Um and people went ape shit because it wasn't because like no
I'm sorry. You're mad that your game isn't as good as the last one. I saw it recently. Polygon gave doom a
Six or something not like an amazing score, but not the worst either
And there were people who were like are they just doing that to get more clicks and it's like
Come on like people are they're doing it because they can't play the game. They can't you know, sure
Turns out that was a different person. Oh, yeah, I know I know but like you they'll never escape that video
But uh, it's like fuck like no people are allowed to rate the games. However, no
Anyway, uh, it's really really really is there is there any like
Lastivist lessons that they've applied to it that you can uh, see
Yeah, there's a lot of bits where you press triangle to grab a box and move it around
Yes, just like the last
Other than that, it's mostly just the character interactions, but even that's a carry over from the previous
The biggest thing is that like
Sam seems to be with you like a lot
Like a lot a lot a lot like similar to how ellie was and the other thing is that the levels seem like
Uncharted levels were kind of wide and then
Lastivist levels were kind of wide and then these levels are pretty wide dude. They're pretty wide
They're gonna get way wider before the end of the game like there are areas where I was
Legitimately shocked at how big the place like talking about the one where you're driving around in a truck
I was gonna say that that truck scene that I saw it seemed like that truck chase could you could go there?
There's a different truck the truck chase it it's really it's quite wide
But it is guided on rails. No, no exactly it is guided on rails
But the course is because it has to be and you just go forward somewhat
But there's another truck area and it's like truck area enjoy
Okay, and there's places to go and I went somewhere and I looked over there and I was like, huh
I didn't go over there and then I continued on my way and never even went that way
Uh, really really cool stuff later on. Um, they do evolve on stuff
It's not like three where they kind of just with three they did cool things like with the boat scene where the boat flips upside down
But it didn't have the grandeur
Three felt like hey, let's make them charted two again. That's why four should be even worse
You know what I mean if you're if you don't stick you like, you know how gears are worth three was not as good
It was really good. But what didn't have the one they never lived up to one. Yeah, right? That's the problem
So like this I'm I'm like I only play like about you know
Maybe less than an hour of it but because then doom came out and now I've been playing that but yeah
We'll talk about that a second. Yeah, but like four should be bad like it's a fourth one
Yeah, you know, but it's great. But you only think that because judgment and ascension ruin the fucking pot on that
No, but almost anything the fourth of anything. Yeah, like the evil was really bad
Well, the other thing is that
I heard that as a tedious terrible. I
I heard that resident evil god
Yeah, I heard that four should have also been terrible. Yes. You're actually right
I heard that um that uncharted is kind of in that place though where
Like the third one kind of was almost felt like it should have been the last and the way things wrapped up
Apparently well, and like now it's like well, here's another ramp romp that the third one last
The third one ends in a really solid spot where it's like could be over
The fourth one they've already said this is the last one and like and it seems based on where it's going that it's
Got to be the last one because metal gear weirdness is always a strange thing where it's like three could have been
Should have been was supposed to be the last one. Yeah, four. We got another one. We got another one. We got another one
Oh, okay. Four seems like the last one from the minute you press start. Yeah, okay
Like it just it has a heavier feeling the fact that like Nathan draken one two and three was pretty much the same
Like it difficult to ascertain 20 something guy and in the fourth one
He's like nearing 40 and he looks kind of tired
Like any Henny is tired
Like it's really like an Indiana Jones force size thing of like here we go again
I I quit man. He's like no one last job, bro. Right literally
And just when I get out they pull me right back. Yeah, that's pretty much and and like where it used to be like
Yeah, we're done it. It's like oh
Oh
She ho man that was high
Right that kind of like
I feel like on on what we said before like uncharted the first one whatever it's like
Whatever uncharted two they it's well documented that they really pushed the limits of what they could do and that's why the set
Pieces, they're all big stupid set pieces. Yeah. Oh the train's going off the cliff with uh with natin it
Oh, shit climb up the train again. I honestly think that like the train level where it's going through the mountains is actually way more
That's awesome. It's super cool. And then like in three
I feel like because they knew they were at the end they had to do smarter stuff
And so like the boat truck it's falling out of a plane
Yeah, the truck falling out of the plane the boat that flips upside down while you're in it and like
Starts and the water starts filling it up that dude. It's it's like a uh a cruise ship
So it's like huge and like a big area to explore things
Things falling out of things when he's running through the city all delirious and the infinite desert like they did smarter stuff
But it wasn't as impressive. Yeah, but like with four they could return to big stupid set pieces
Yeah, just to a new level of a new standard of power. It's on the ps4 as well. Yeah, exactly. So it's uh
Even though it's not like a smarter game. I saw somebody make a comment or actually, you know, I heard it on the
I heard it on giant bombs podcast that they saw a comment that was that uncharted four is like a the best argument against the neo
Because if you just if you get the neo the a new ps4
Oh, you just spend the time. I thought you meant the I thought you meant the tecmo game
You can get all the tech in the world
That's what it all comes down to is time for optimization. Yeah, like like when you look at look at the 360
Right, you start you start off with cameo and you end off with metal gear solid five phantom pain
Right. Oh, yeah. Oh, I got confused for a second as you start saying that
Well, and think about the ps3 you got mgs4 and five and look at the gulf between those for you know, like
It's all down to optimization over time. So definitely I'm I'm excited
I I kind of forgot about uncharted once doom came out. So I'm actually glad that you're like talking about it because it
Reminded yeah, well, I'm gonna play doom once I'm done uncharted. Yeah, absolutely
Um, and I guess the only other things is the the grappling hook is super fun to use
It's just super snappy and it's enjoyable. I wish there was more places to use it
I have a question about the grappling hook. Is it is it?
True that in many places in the story a character jumps up on something and it's like I have to go get something to
Lower when they could just use the hook. Yeah when you're holding a rope with a grappling hook at the time
I'm pretty sure you've already been through a spot like that and like the first chapter when they were kids
Because they have the rope and it's like but at some point it's like no Nate hang on
I got to get you a thing and it's like no you don't I'm holding a grappling hook right now
It's it's I saw that thing. It's not as bad as that guy made it out
But still that's there. Yeah, super weird. No, it's there for sure. Mabel is so right and gravity falls. It's so right
grappling hook
Yeah, yeah, um, sorry random tangent there, but um, um
Mother's basement his gravity falls review video came out and it's fucking great. Go watch it. I mean do it
His videos are good. Um
Yeah, you are
Yeah, and the multiplayer is really good. Uh, you use magic in it, which is really cool. You like magic. Yeah
Is it like is it like power-ups?
Yeah, they're kind of like your special attacks and stuff berserk
You get you get to summon a an ancient pillar that shoots ghosts at people and stuff
Oh my god
They like good idea for the multiplayer because the previous ones were a bit bland the plain jane
But never I never cared for that movement and that's fair. Yeah
What is it do the green men show up or blue men? What color are the the men?
In chart of two, they're blue blue men. There you go. Okay, and then chart of three there
Uh, you I I didn't um in chart of three. They're like brown
In in in multiplayer is that there is a thing to summon them, but I've never used it before
So I don't know which ones which ones appear. Yeah
Uh, super super good game really excited to finish it actually apparently the ending is really really a tear joker
I heard apparently so you're so open. Um, I played more ray gigant still easy as dirt
But the story's going places. So I'm enjoying it
Just makes me think of you grabbing a clot of dirt and going boy. That sure was easy. Yep. Put that back on the ground
No, uh, it's really enjoyable. So I'm still pushing through it
It does that it does that cool thing where like a big event happens and then you know fade to black and then second opening
Story number two, which is really really satisfying. Oh, that's shit
Um, and other than that, I guess are you guys still watching space patrol luluko?
I didn't start I haven't started the first episode of season three just came out. Yeah, and it's
Fucking it does season three. Yeah, three episodes is a new season
Okay with a new major story arc. I didn't catch that new villains. Yeah
somebody sent me the uh, the
The don't lose your way sequence from one of them and I was like, oh dude. I've never seen that in a show where it just
It it just they do the entirety of kill the kill like eight well
I think I've been spoiled on all the references at this point do some screenshots almost shame
You got spoiled on that that episode just came out like today. Mm-hmm
So that was the it's the first thing to hit the internet whenever a new episode comes
But like that show is fucking good, man, and it's only seven minutes an episode. It's really worth watching
I'm waiting because it's that short and because of that. I'm waiting for it all to be done because I'm gonna fly
Yeah, the only reason I would like vouch for it now is because spoilers. Yeah every single time people are just
I mean, you already knew exactly what happened. Yeah, but I'm me. I'm becoming more and more immune to that stuff over time
Either way watch it at some point. Yep. Super good. Definitely. It's on the list. It's good. It's good
It's good. I think that's pretty much me. Uh, I would like to start a conversation with matt right now
Yes, we were talking about a game that is so simple that it's like a really good
vanilla ice cream cone
Matt and I played a different game that could be likened to a really good chocolate ice cream cone
Yeah, top top with like strawberry sauce make it look like blood. Yeah. Yeah, but like
It's a very very simple simple game
I'm gonna I'm gonna take it that they fixed the the little kill locking thing. No, that's in there
Whoa, whoa, whoa kill locking. I thought you were talking about ray play
Uh, no, we're talking about is that your 2016? Isn't that the chocolate ice cream? No, gotta get one in every year
One in every year one for you. It's called the glory kill system. There you go. Glory kills. Uh, dude doom is so
It's fucking awesome. It's so awesome. Yeah. I'm really excited to play like and I mean that in in in two ways one
It's a really fantastic shooter
Feels good and it feels good to shoot movement is great
It's upgrade system is basically the same as new orders, but adapted to a more like looser style
Yeah, the the levels are big and not like divided into sequences. It's like uh hallways to arenas mostly, right?
Yeah, but it's the levels are actually very large and complex. Oh, okay. Yeah, you get lost in them
They're actually like a three like doom of doom one and two. Great. Awesome. I describe this to Liam
Is it where where I am in the game? It starts to feel like
Metroid Prime a lot of the time a couple references to that. I'm you double back on areas but at higher elevations
The map looks like Metroid Prime. There's a lot of secrets feels get to us shoot the demons in the stomach and
On the ground around the demons occasionally. It feels very good. So just everywhere. Yeah, like the game is really good
And that's awesome
But the tone
Is awesome. Like it is everything about the doom guy that you play as
It's so much more interesting than any other game or certainly any of the novels every
Everything about the characters that exist alongside doom guy
Every explanation for why is the us uac like it is. Yeah, why did they do this etc?
Like doom guy
like
You know start to crate
Right. Yeah, press start. How long is it until you see a crate? That's your crate
This game has the new metric of start to murder
And it's like second two two seconds
Before your character murders someone also isn't the first thing you do. Yes grab someone by the head
But but more importantly all of the new metric is also start to shotgun. Yes is also incredibly fast
But like a minute like
So we've all we've all been like doom guy in in doom three was some
Boring ass the most boring guy ever and he wasn't the doom guy that we know when doom one and doom two
Which is a psycho here. You got them wolfensteining it up
So in wolfenstein bj lastowitz was a blank meathead, right?
So they turned him into a really interesting meathead that loves to kill nazis
Well, what do you do with doom guy? Well doom guy can't talk. No, he can't talk link. Don't let him speak
Don't let him speak ever
So instead every time someone tries to talk to doom guy
He shoots or blows up whatever's talking to him or crushes
And like there's a bit in which a video screen tries to give him story details and he punches it
Yeah
Oh also like the someone says whatever you do
Don't and then he smashes it and then the guy goes. What are you doing and every time you smash it in the level
He's like no you don't understand stop and they're like like the first one
He examines it really carefully as the guy's explaining them how to disable it
And he just puts his foot on it and crushes it and the next two
He just does that again and the fourth one the guy's screaming and i'm like no
Don't and he's like okay, okay, and then he like lashes out and crushes it super fast
Uh
When you sit when you ask really does it feel really good to uh shoot the demons
Um we're going on the stomach and to miss them. Yeah
And uh the upgrade system for certain weapons is I I got like a sawed-off double barreled shotgun
Super shotgun super shotgun from doom 2 right and then it only has a few upgrades
But once you've gotten you've you've bought all the upgrades are available
It locks the mastery upgrade which you get it's there
But you don't have to buy it again. You don't have to buy that last upgrade
It just gets unlocked what you have to do is then use the weapon
With this new mode in a specific way
So for the double barrel shotgun it'll say all right you upgraded those two things and now you can get the last one
You don't have to spend any points to buy it, but now you got to use it. What you have to do
Yeah, what you have to do is you 30 times you have to kill multiple demons with one shot
So you always have to align you're trying to line two up all all the time
I literally this morning before I got here you do it and
It unlocks the ability to pull the trigger twice and it shoots both barrels at the same time
And the toughest enemies can't deal with it anymore. They become stun law
Like like a fucking baron of hell or whoever just shows up and they're like, hey, what's up? Oh, no, no pop
It's it that gun like I just want to use that
Almost all of the weapons except for the pistol, but who would ever
Go back to the pistol looks good on it. No, it sucks. Yeah, but I mean it looks good
Everything looks really because it's not a pistol. It's just a little laser pew pew
the basic the basic system is that you have say let's use the
The gatling gun right you have your gatling gun right and then you can get two upgrades for it
Yeah, one is you can spin the barrel without shooting so you can shoot at top speed immediately
The other one is it gives you two barrels, but you can't move while shooting
You can't move a little bit, but you're you're you're super slow, but it fires both barrels, right?
So the the chain gun separates its big barrel into two smaller barrels on either side
And a third one comes out
Anyway, the point is is that you get what an upgrade points from finding secrets and stuff like that
So upgrade one is it fires twice as fast upgrade two is you can move at normal speed
Upgrade three etc. Right and then the final upgrade is it'll never overheat ever
Which means you never have to stop right the difference between the weapon in its base form
And it's fully maxed out like level up like ultra fire
Is the biggest difference of any weapon upgrade i've ever seen and they're all like that okay, and
So you would think like it it's not like twice as strong. It's not three times as strong
It's like turning on quad damage for this gun alone. Okay, though
I'm not sure if you got this one yet, but uh the one I really like sorry
I'm oh gosh gosh
But the the other cool upgrade that you get is that you have the pulse rifle
Yes, uh, which in the original dune games. I was always like it's fine
I never use it that much
But in this one it shoots little pulses of energy and that's cool
And its other ability is to it shoots like a blast that stuns everyone in an area of effect
And everyone gets stunned. Yeah, and then you can shoot them for like two or three seconds
Unhindered right? Yeah
So you can do you can upgrade it so that the stun makes a bigger blast radius
People get stunned for longer and the last one you get is if you kill someone while they're stunned from the stun that you used
With the the the the pulse rifle if you then kill that guy while he's stunned
He creates a chain of electricity that stuns and blows up
Everyone else and then I saw a room packed with guys and once I did it to one
They all started they all just started pop and I'm not sure if you're there pat
But I got the weapon. I didn't get that far
So when you get the weapon in dune is the weapon not the bfg
It is it must be the bfg because I was gonna say like you get the weapon
Right and now you think about it when like I I if it if it was in dune 3, I never got it
I didn't it wasn't doing very very briefly the setup
I won't spoil it but the setup to get the bfg is you can fuck it up and never get it
Up until the point where I am if it shows up later and like the last level or something
I don't know but the setup where it's under so much security
That you could fuck up getting it you have to get card keys and stuff. I won't go into it
But you get it right and I get it
And when you think about the bfg how worked when you first saw it as a cage like whoa
And I go okay
They really have to nail this because if this doesn't feel awesome to shoot then it's powerful
But I'll just use my triple fucking chain gun or whatever
And you get it and the very first door that opens when you get it is just a room
Just filled with the weakest enemy type
And I'm like oh and you shoot it and it just it feels so awesome
It feels so awesome that it's the rarest ammo type you can get when you kill guys with chainsaws
It never gives you the ammo for it. The ammo for it is just in specific spots
They're almost like little secrets and you only get three shots in each time
And when you use it, it just feels so awesome and it's it's so balanced where I've like oh, I could really really use it
And it's not here, but oh final keep going. It's like your bomb, right? Like really yeah, it's it's a screen clear basically
It's so fucking sick
Matt mentioned the stun thing for the plasma rifle
The other one is a massive aoe after you shot it for a while
And the final upgrade on that thing is that it just charges all the time without you shooting it
Nice you get to pulse out this massive room clearing aoe every 20 seconds
But so you mentioned the bfg and that reminds me of something there's
So well you talked about the glory kill system. Did they fix that? Yeah. Yeah
You don't have to use that at all
But what it does is when you glory kill an enemy it gives you health like they drop they drop more health than if you kill them regularly
Okay, they always drop health whereas regularly they only drop health if you're under like 50% or whatever
But on top of that there is a
a
rune
system in the game
That creates like modifiers that you get via secret missions
And there's stuff like get ammo from farther away or enemies stagger for longer stuff like that really boring
Yeah, the ammo one if you max it out enemies start to drop bfg ammo
Oh, shit. I didn't see that only at the highest level. Uh, yeah
I had to do a relic challenge that was
Do kill three?
hell barons
By doing the glory kill jumping up and on to him. Yeah, that one's tough
Which is incredibly tough. I almost always got it use the use the double jump to do that
It I didn't have the double jump at that point
Uh, that those are secret missions are really really tough
But some of them like they're almost always doable and you have to do a couple more times
But the deal is is that there are two of those that I've unlocked at least that are related to the girl glory kill system
One is do them faster. How much faster?
A lot faster like if they take about two seconds
This brings them down to half of a second
And the chainsaw the one that was the worst at the at the e3 showing the one that looks the chainsaw is actually a
Superpowered side weapon that has incredibly limited ammo. It will kill anything it hits and one
But you can only use it like once on a baron of hell and then it
Pukes up ammo for every gun you have so the fact that it's long doesn't actually really yeah
Because you only use it once a fight or twice
Here's the neat thing about the chainsaw is that like if there's just an amp like a really low class demon
It doesn't take a lot
It's like you need more fuel to cut through bigger and tougher enemies
Yeah, so when you go up to a hell baron or whatever like the one of the tougher enemies you have to have max
Chainsaw to cut through him if you try it it just goes he's just like I can't it doesn't work
Time from the push. Yeah, so when you get it full and then you cut through like one of the toughest enemies and like a
Mancubus for example and like all his guts come out. It's like the chainsaw was also what I was worried
That's when I like Pat said I saw the e3 press conference. I was like this looks like the most locked in
Yeah, kind of shitty really didn't look great. Yeah, and then but now when you actually do it you understand
It's not a weapon. It's more like a resource management tool
The the other because it used to be a weapon. So why would you expect any different?
Yeah, because I never used the chainsaw that much in the original games because it wasn't that great
It wasn't very good. Yeah
So the other thing I have to mention from the rune skill upgrade is that one of them is do glory kills from farther away
Yeah, I got that one. Did you get the upgraded one? No, not yet. Okay. So the glory kill system
normally
If you're within five feet like two character lengths or whatever
You can you can instant kill them if they're staggered with this thing fully maxed out
It's about 30 feet away
Dive across the arena your character puts their arm up in the start of the animation and then you wester slide along
I didn't know that. Oh, wow. I had I had a screenshot on my desktop
Last time you're about it find it where it's it is like five times the normal distance
Okay, it is so and the weird thing is is that if you look at enemies that are like
50 feet away and start revving the chainsaw
Eventually you will just teleport over to them because one of them will just walk into your range
While the chainsaw is murder them in so you have to action
So here's the thing that I found out about you have to be really careful because if you shoot a caca demon
When it's over a pit
And it goes stun and you hit it you will teleport into the abyss
And kill yourself because you'll just go towards it and fall and then you'll be too far away from the ledge to jump back
Is it possible to get all of those upgrades? Yes. I think on your first run. Yes. Okay. Uh, there's also a lot of secrets
There's a lot of stuff like that the best part about the game secrets by far
In addition to giving you upgrade points for finding them is that you can sequence break the game's weapon progression
via the secret system
So I got the chain gun
In hell right in hell. I found it there and then I was like, oh nice and so you found a secret
I'm like, why would the the chain gun be here?
Whatever I'll take it and then like two levels later you find it where when pinkies start showing up you find it there
And I'm like you find it just sitting on a table in a room. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
So like you can totally get weapons like more powerful weapons earlier
You can get the plasma rifle in the second level whereas otherwise it only shows up in like the fourth and fifth
You can get the gauss rifle in the fifth level and I haven't even encountered the normal spot to find it in
Yeah, I'm seven levels in. Yeah, like it's fucking awesome
Uh, since you mentioned hell, I wanted to mention one last thing is that uh in hell
Everything has the hell equivalent of the type of pickups or things that you get when you're on mars
So your auto map, which is a computer is now like a skull that's floating and he like gets it from the skull or whatever
And I'm like, ah, that's fun
But the other thing is that I found like a glowing greenish thing and they go
Oh, this must be one of the little rune tablets that you get to get those rune modifiers
The the secret mission challenge rooms and I'm like, okay, cool
And I'll punched it and then just a demonic voice starts talking to you and it starts giving you dark souls lore
In a voiceover about hell and and all this cool stuff and I'm like, well, what is this?
It's the corex or whatever
So those story bits appear to be the story of like doom one from the demon's perspective. Yeah
It's so fucking cool. They talk about the doom slayer and how he fucking wrecked hell so hard
Yeah, the doom slayer
It's so metal and the voiceover is like every metallica song rolled in the one
Yeah, like the the wording used is like the soundtrack is amazing
Mick Gordon, Mick Gordon. I do know. I do know. Mick Gordon was on that. Yeah, you did it all you
You carry all your guns at the same time. Yes, you sure do in the single player. Yeah, yeah
You sure do a random question you need to also because you run out of ammo
By the way, the bfg is its own dedicated face button
It's yeah, because it's like the chainsaw because x is the chainsaw. What would what's the bfg? Why it's why?
Okay, good
Uh, the only in the weapon wheel doesn't appear. So I'm looking. Well, I'm like, where the fuck's the bfg, I got it
Before you say anything, there's one point that I can't forget
And it's we've been talking about how much stronger the weapons get and all that stuff the game does the best
Uh, you know in a game where they give you some overpowered weapon
But they only give you for like one sequence and then they take it away from you and you're like, ah boo
Or when you get the super maxed out one gun that you spent all your points on you kind of trivialized the rest of the game
Yeah, or all the guns are balanced all the way even though they do have an upgrade system
This game makes your gun five times stronger like no question
Because in the next level all of the enemies that we're encounters that were like the baron of hell
Which is like a boss fight the first time you fight him. It's one the next room you fight for
Okay, and then he's just a normal guy from that point appears all the enemies like
Step up their escalation to your escalation and it's fucking great. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. Well, what were you gonna ask?
No, it's just apropos of nothing. Uh, did any of you guys finish quantum break? No
I played it a bit more, but yeah, I didn't I didn't finish it because there was I was
Because there was like a couple weeks of like quantum break a lot and then it dropped off
So I just like the time yeah, I was slowly going through it and then uncharted 4 came out
So I was like well you're like, I'll just play this better better. I'll get back to you after okay
Yeah
Doom is so good. I I'm I'm flabbergasted that it's as good
I'm having I love it as much as it does and we're talking about it's weird that Bethesda had all these weird little things going on
Like no early review copies, but the game's awesome. Yeah
Like it's kind of strange like even forgetting about the like initial weirdness with like, okay
Well trailers only for people at this convention and stuff like where was the big marketing campaign for this for this nine on ten game
The marketing for this game has completely failed it in every way
Up until the day before it came out when the nvidia footage I was ready to pass and I saw behind the scenes
Like an interview style trailer or like I like to put my upgrades into speed and it's like it's terrible
It's terrible and then I saw people talking about how it was really good
I'm like, okay. I'll give it a shot and within like
10 minutes. I was like
Oh
Yeah
And like the fact that they showed off like that multiplayer beta and like did a bunch of trailers on that multiplayer beta did it
No service. No fact that I tried. I was like
All the dlc is for the multiplayer
That sucks
Like it everything about this screams like
Let's try to e-sports it a little bit. They mismanaged what people like like this game has multiplayer and wolfenstein didn't
I hear I hear the uh level editor is really really good. I also hear that too. So I that's no deal see for that either
That that's the one thing I wanted to say is like I did play the multiplayer on this final version like one or two matches
And it's the it's the arena based multiplayer. It's where you're doing all the
The the boost pad and stuff and that's fine. That's totally like I get it
That's also part a lot of quake is in there as well
But I really wish there was a more classic like option you could take where there's no bounce pads
Your movements may be a bit slower and you're just going through simple maps
Just just a more simple version of it. I saw a lot of people asking for a mode in which you don't have loadouts and you don't have this
Yeah, I like him spawns if the game's gonna be super classic
There should be a super classic version of the multiplayer where it's that's run to the rocket launcher run to this
Yeah, just just a more simple version as an option
I don't want to take away all the crazy stuff because that crazy stuff when you're jumping up in the air and rocket
Like they're gonna add more weapons to the multiplayer over time
And it's like I don't want them in the fucking multiplayer. I want cool new weapons for the single player to shoot more demons
I would like like in the future if possible if it's a success or they get some feedback. I would like like
I would love it a resurrection of evil
Resurrection of evil. I would love that
How about a pack of dlc missions in the story where you're a demon? I'm not even done and I want more
Yeah, exactly. I'm not even done. I'm so also you can unlock classic levels
I didn't know this so that you they're on the main menu because I didn't go to the main menu
the entire weekend
Because I've been in the game. Are you playing on xbox or ps4?
I I'm playing on my xbox and I bought the pc version as well
Okay, because holy shit like I don't know like with the actual metrics on how the console version's done
But I have that no frame drops anywhere. It's run super good
It runs crazy well on both consoles and it runs exceedingly well on pc like really really well optimized
Um, those classic levels. Did you play them now?
I know but I did unlock like is it what you get when you find the secret. No, that's just a little room
It's a full it's a full variant of the level cool. So here's what's not cool
Damn
In those levels you're playing against the modern doom enemies with the modern controls and the modern weapons
It's just the map that looks dude. Those levels are terrible
Oh, yeah
Like it's almost like a thumb in the eye of like look how far we've come kind of thing
Like the the the modern weapons and the modern enemies with the item and health placement and stuff like that
It is
Terrible. It's just too easy. No, it's way too hard
Because you're not given the same amount of firepower that you usually would have right now
Like it they're bad. They're really bad. Okay. Let's say remember how bad the wolfenstein ones were
Some of them were not great one or two of them. I remember they're they're like that. Okay
So, yeah, they're not exactly you're playing on pc and you're playing on xbox one. Yeah, okay, this game's so good
It's so good. It's so good. What else do you do that?
Um, I'm right now on day four of cat mcgeddon. Yeah, how's the cat?
Um cat mcgeddon
This is the first day where the cats are just allowed to
Walk around and just do whatever after being in isolation
Where you exchange them you go into the timeout room
Let you walk around and put your spell happens put your butt in the air and do all your stuff
So it's still just a house show still just no it's it's it's it's cat mcgeddon live
It's not cat mcgeddon wrong. Well day six is where you tie them together. Yeah, I know
Yeah, but by strap cat match
So I I got this feeling and I guess you guys will know this but when you're looking
I'm looking over the couch and I'm like looking like this with my hands over the couch
And I go all right
I'm watching the two cats and I see zack just like looking at lili the new kitten
And they're walking and I'm looking at their ai pathing
And I can see one of them has his head turned so the other one doesn't see where he's going
And I'm like he's gonna turn around he's gonna see the new cat is gonna freak out
It's like when you're looking at ai's
Their routines and they're gonna cross this something's gonna happen and zack turns around and just goes
Kind of skirts away a little bit and I'm just watching their interaction
And fortunately there hasn't been any like
Swiping or bats out. There's just been some growls here and there and shade thrown
This shade gets thrown from far away. You can
Sniper shade
I have a picture of zack like all the way on his perch
Near the window and he's staring 50 feet away at lilu. That's like near his food bowl
And he sees that I was like, bitch better not get near that
So it's pretty fun. Um, it's going okay
But you just want them to be friends and snuggle and clean each other like lick each other's fur
You're gonna go home and zack's gonna have like a swastika like emblazoned. No, and there's gonna be blood
Runes on the ground and he's gonna be worshiping. Yeah. Yeah
So so that's that's going well, but she's so sweet this this
The lilu just she just falls on her back and she just like give it to me now
I just want I just want all the attention and she just rubs up against you and she just loves it anyway
Aside from that. Yeah, I played a bit of uncharted not enough to really get a good sense of it
Other than the the thing that I said, which was a billion dollars was spent on it because it because it looks like it looks
doom
looks worse
I think of course. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like it looks like less money was spent on
I think that's probably the case doom's focus is on performance
Also, I had one big bug in doom where I was in hell and I just dropped through the floor
Nice and but I could see into the level and I saw all the demons going where the f*** did doom guy go?
I had a few crashes to desktop crashes. Oh, it sucks, but I'm playing on pc. That's
Day one on pc. Yeah, that's relatively calm. I heard if you're playing on ati cards
It's like train wreck like actually really bad. Yeah. No, it's it's getting to the point where the
Okay, so it's getting to the point where it's like graphics card
Pc graphics cards used to be worse than this actually because it used to be
Do you want to like you remember? Do you want to play half-life 2 or doom 3?
Do you remember that because the the cards like one game ran way better on one card and the other one ran way way better
And it sucked now. It's it's both worse and better in that it's like just get an nvidia card
It's like
Yes, I'm aware that nvidia sometimes lies on their gig counts and that they're not perfect and some of these cards have been bad
But like but their driver support but for each individual every game
Runs better on nvidia if it runs better on one or the other like it's always I really hate the premise that like
On pc that's supposed to be such an open platform that like nvidia
Makes well it has to work with the companies to make extra drivers to make the games run
Like better. Yeah, and then and you don't yeah, I don't know
I don't know anyone that has an ati card anymore ati's been losing the that that that at all
hard ati just
Doubled down really hard and got all the concepts and and atis driver support was always like really bad compared to
to nvidia's
I'm really quickly though
I watched two movies. I saw one the theater called the green room which I've heard. Oh, yeah
I heard about that for a while which has patrick stewart as a neo nazi
Yeah, because that's what you think of when you think of patrick stewart because he's bald get it
He's bald. Also the actor that played steven stills from scott pilgrim is also a nazi in a band and uh, and um
A check off isn't that so check off is the main trailer the trailer was interesting
It's it's a punk rock group a normal punk rock group is just let's do a show. Let's do our final show here
Oh, shit. This was the wrong club to go to because it's run by skinheads or something
It's not expressly clear, but that's kind of what it is and shit goes down and then it's get out of the club a lot
Yeah, what what you see basically in the trailer is like the they're performing and then like people are giving weird looks
And then at some point there's a body somewhere
Well, the the crux of it all goes down from and then it all goes down the crux of it from what I can gather is they walk
in on a murder
And and the guys are like well, you can't leave now you're done
Yeah
So this was actually kind of a it got it's really high reviews around to me. I was actually pretty disappointed with it all
No
It has a really good premise the first like 30 minutes is really really solid great acting great cinematography
But it's really weird in that it does a lot of stuff where you're like you're rooting for that guy
Oh
Okay, well
Surely they're going to do that. Oh
Okay
And it just did weird turns where it really makes you think it's
Here's how the story is going to go and it kind of cuts things off just as they're getting tense
They they kind of do a 180 each time and then the ending is just kind of this
Weird thing and I was just like I walked away from going that was not all that great. It was
It was good, but it was just not what I was expecting. So it's kind of weird
The other movie I saw is called holidays
And that is an anthology horror movie centering around the holidays
So it's like do you remember when I described the movie called the abc's of death
This is the same thing where they play a little mini movie like, you know, six seven minutes. Oh, that's short
Uh, sorry, maybe more than that. There's there's only so many holidays. They only I think it was like eight, right?
Yeah, so st. Patrick's only eight holidays st. Patrick's day mother's day halloween, but not president's day
You know, what about columbus day? Not columbus day either. No only christian holidays
So they do these wouldn't columbus. I don't know and and some of them. Okay day
Some of them are pretty entertaining. Some of them are kind of fun st. Patrick's day is especially interested for a horror movie man
Yeah
One of these movies is directed by kevin smith
And i'm watching it and we go can't wait to see which one kevin smith did and the first the minute one
They're like shit ass there's shit out. There's ass stuff
Here's the kevin smith one
and it stars harley from from um
Uh epic mealtime. Oh really in the movie in the in the cinematic move of his career
He plays a womanizing disgusting douchebag who
runs girls into the ground because they're cam girls
and it's just
not
It's just disgusting and gross and and when it said the holiday, i'm like that had nothing to do with the holiday
Well, it's a holiday like halloween. Well
Okay, luckily yoga hosers is coming yoga hosers is coming. Yeah, apparently it's not that good
It got booed out of
Otherwise known as i want my kid to be in a movie and johnny depp's kid and johnny depp if he wants to
So that was a kind of a treat. Uh, I guess this will be a treat and uh, the the I I recommend it though
It was pretty good overall green room is kind of like okay. It's watchable and uh, the last thing I kind of did was uh
I put a lot of work into the godzilla panel and then i'm gonna have the godzilla fun
Trying to figure out how best to do that
Because our panels are like we talk a bunch, but this has a lot of visual
Like here's an example of this whole godzilla pointer stick and so i'm thinking like should I do in powerpoint?
I'm just trying to work it all out
Honestly, I think all our panels should be in power like yeah powerpoint. Seriously. I don't know how powerpoint works
Yeah, but it takes but it does take more work than we usually there's barely. Yeah, I've literally but you get security from it
I've I've gone my whole life without you can put words and diagrams without having to go to an image
Get a powerpoint presentation so I might ask her to hold me so
Put a lot of work into that and that's about it for me
And that's about it for everyone or what? No, no, no, I was just wondering to see wait wait
We'll eat it yours. Yeah, we all we all oh no. I had some more. I got all those birds, man
I got all them
Let's go back to doom the bird king. No, did I do anything else of note? I played doom played uncharted making math noises there little
Yeah, I literally played doom all weekend. That's all I did instead of birds
And nothing really like doom doom and doom and doom
doom's really good
Dooms really I wish they called it something else really I doom for doom something
No, no, no, not doom doom. I wish it wasn't just doom
doom doom 2 doom 3 doom more oh make it make it uh
D o 4 m
Oh, the only other thing I know that I suppose d4. So I'm gonna I'm gonna have to have woolly's help here. Hey woolly
Why is zeta so obsessed with cinderella 4?
She is so garbage
She is the worst
Uh
Uh
She's camille's sudo girlfriend. That's a cyber newton. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She is trash
So welcome to um, welcome to the main character falls for another useless random stupid enemy
Okay, so like it's so bad that even char and amaro both see the situation
And go this is the same mistake that happened last time. So they stuck her in the cockpit already, right? Yeah
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah like both of them go
Oh, it's just like last time. It's just like last time. It's like, well, didn't
Oh, it's so camille's so stupid. No, but lala though
Lala was stupid too
It's so it's this is a thing that basically is supposed to cement
camille as the main character in a way where he goes through the same shit
Even though it's a different guy like nero going through the same shit that dante went through except that there was no
Curie for dante, but he's wanted to fill the dark. So I would it's that whole thing. I would like
That episode in which the episode in which four comes back and becomes a whole focus is like agony
but
It does have my favorite moment of zeta in which
There is a so jared is a piece of shit. It's a piece of jared is a piece of shit
He killed camille's mom and he doesn't care that he did that and he's also a piece of shit on top of that
And he hates camille. Also. He's the best also. He's the best
So what are you gonna do in this episode? This might sell people on it if they haven't seen zeta
He sees camille in the base and he is still injured from the last time they fought
So he's walking around on a cane
So he's chasing camille with a cane and holds him up and says hey, fuck you camille. I'm gonna fucking kill you
And in escaping from jared camille throws him off a mountain
And you get to have this awesome moment where he's throwing jared and i'm like oh
And then jared just goes right off the cliff just right off the cliff. It feels so good
but then
Later on in that episode
I have never seen two rival characters
Do as much dirt to each other's extended family and relations as these two guys
They both kill each other's girlfriends
both of them
And both of them don't realize it at the time
That they did that so jared's killed his mom and his girlfriend
And camille killed jared's girlfriend in self-defense and jared's going. Oh, I hate that camille so much
It's the worst like jared's the worst. This is not charon amaro. There's no coming back from that
No way shape or form absolutely
And also like the lines get really blurred on the grand scale with uh soroko and haman
Yeah, as well. Yeah, and this is where like that's the one thing about zeta that like it's good
But also weird is that it takes a while to fully understand you're you're all enemies
Yeah, or or are you it's really unclear because you're looking at a three and then possibly four sided war
Yeah, it gets bad and it's like
It's it's at the level of confusing now in terms of like
Stance of these political parties that i'm like, okay
I know the aeug is good because no a bright works for them. Sure the big badass hero man, right? Yeah
He's incorruptible. So he's great. I know the titans are bad. Yeah, because they all blow up anything
It's just like can some of you guys just betray each other to simplify these lines
Is the ghost of zeon bad or they just hate char, but why would they hate char?
If he used to represent the zeon
and these new
Yeah, and the last episode I watched which was baffling which was like this purple haired girl
Just like camille. You're my brother and everyone's like no, he's not
And she's like no, he's totally my brother. Okay. What?
Who?
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's still it's still good. It's still good. Also. Emma's the best and riko is the worst
Uh, that's correct. Uh, Emma is in fact the best
And riko is totally in fact the worst
Yes, I like her new design better though
I I
I'm not good. Whatever nothing
I like I'm I'm trying to remember. I don't want to dance on something on too much on a possible spoiler for you
But whatever. Um, also introducing characters like some guy named jamaican. Yeah, he's been around forever
He's like his name is his name is jamaican. He's admiral. He's admiral jamaican and he's an arian
Where he's a super white guy with a giant moustache. Yeah
Okay, what and he has zon's terrible design
But and it's fine. I don't I don't get what any of these characters want anymore
Like usually honestly and the sad part is is love
Well char doesn't want love or like if if not conquest of everything. He doesn't want that either
I don't know what the fuck that guy wants
I don't want amro wants. He's got love bell torchica
Man, she started this the series off really insane and clingy
And then they find like she tones it down and then other characters are like
Oh, I don't you're not you're not a psycho anymore
I don't remember okay, because in the beginning of the series after
Camille and amro go out to have their first battle together
When camille comes back she like attacks camille and like threatens to beat him up in case he doesn't defend amro
And he's like, well you bitch. Okay. You guys started dating eight minutes ago in the plot like uh, it's
Good show, but I actually think I like the first series better at this point
Well, I want you to finish it off because there's a I imagine an answer. There's there's there's some things to talk about
I'm sure and uh, I have feelings about the way I'm waiting for char to go crazy
Like I I really feel like he's gonna go on a massive heel turn. You're gonna have to wait a little longer. Okay
You know, you still have other stuff. There's those so much. Yeah, I think the thing that's called char's counter attack
Yeah, I might be what you want to look for might have something to do it. What when does that after zeta or after cc?
Oh, that's way later
Motherfuckers are men. Okay. Road ass men at that point. Um, well still in the subject of like anime and stuff
I just want to like say this
Uh before it escapes me, but I'm still still reading star dust, right?
So the sheer fact that someone would write in their own flesh
baby stand
And then everyone will look at that character like he's crazy
That couldn't exist
No in a world of gorillas and boats and entire towns being stands a baby having a stand
That's ludicrous. It's you're crazy. And how are you should leave him and not carry him on for the rest of our journey
You can't beat up a baby. That's too rough making me the poo poo and and that being stupid enough
But then the panel is showing a baby going ha ha
They'll never believe you and I'm like like
I've been spoiled on like a lot of stands and I don't mind because when the stand appears
It's way dumber than anyone could have imagined in my head for sure
So so I like when everyone goes oh shit. Why is it so hot?
How is it 8 p.m? And everyone looks up the sun is at stand
And I'm like this is so much dumber than when someone told me this was a stand
So my favorite part about you being mad that everyone turns on cac yoin during that sequence
Is that when cac yoin wakes up and looks at his arm. He goes. Oh, no, I'm crazy
Like he doesn't even believe himself
But the fact that he's so smart that no one will ever believe this story that he has the wound healed
To make every oh, I must have dreamed and then everyone else decides. Oh, I must be crazy
We all had the same crazy dreams
So no one will ever remember that well he he will but almost no one else will remember
death 13 or whatever
man
I like going past the initial parts I had seen of star dust and going to the part where it's like literally every page
Is there's new stand and I was like, oh, this is actually really annoying like
This journey is happening
but
The only story fighting a car the sun and then yeah 13 is
But now it's turned over where I'm like, okay fine. I don't care anymore. This is the rhythm
I'm down for anything. This is the rhythm and like I'm just at the part where avdol kind of returns
I don't everyone knew about that except for
And the viewer the viewer is paul nerf. Yeah, exactly. So I'm really enjoying them. That's all I want
There's there's a strong like
Break where like the second half of the story begins and it's each yeah and like okay once they arrive
That's like where and in the anime. That's one the second
Exactly. Okay. It's the better half, but it's still got stupid stuff for sure like this stand is a sword
Yeah, no, that's great. That's like that's amazing boring stand. No, I loved it. I loved it
Yeah, but the if no, he's neat, but it's like the execution of it's awesome
Yeah, the execution but nothing's gonna be well in part three at least this stand is an electrical outlet
Okay. Oh, but that one's at least weird. Is it look at this bird? Okay, which part is the fucked up radio tower
It's a part for okay, so don't worry. I have to at least finish for this stand's name is show off
The screen says surface
Fuck you. It's really getting out of control now. Fuck you. I also love that. It's only in part three
We're part one in part two that no one ever mentioned it, but I love how it's part three specifically where the fuck it
Oh, what's wrong polar f did the artist draw you wrong?
And I'm like we're breaking the fourth wall now
The thing and the thing is I mean you'll get there but the radio tower as as dumb and as much as you want that
The thing about it is that when you get there, it's way cooler than you think it is. It's way cooler. It's so cool
It's also compared to where you've been at that point in part four. It's actually like almost normal by comparison
Yeah, that's true too. It's like there's also there's also that one bit of dialogue where some early stand is like
I'll kill you jodoro and then there'll be no more hero for part four
And I was like what?
He knew he was gonna make a part four at that point. That's crazy
anyway
Jojo's pretty good is what you're saying. Is you saying that it's it like do you understand?
The rhythm is so different from part one and part two just because it's like it's relatively simple
And it goes to moss is very different from part three good good good good because it can't be this again
Well because it goes to stand user of the week is kind of the formula that you fall into of the week
Yeah, exactly, but it it's always fun and crazy
Well, it's like part three part three falls into a rhythm because every stand user of the week
They find has one goal and that goal is to murder them for deo right in part four
Stand user it's still stand user of the week, but a full like
60% of them don't give a fuck about the plot. Yeah, that's just people that they run into and they're like don't do that
Wait, is it everyone's wandering around? Yes. Okay. Okay. Morio is full of stand users
And they're all up to their own shit
There's there's an entire like arc in the map in part four of a guy who's using his stand like
Uh, oh yakuza, joe skate and some weirdo the whose name I forget
Decide to use their stands to steal coins off. Oh, yeah
And then they start to argue over who should get the coins
They're trying to get rich stand did the most work
And that goes on for like what would be a full episode and they totally ignore the plot for that episode
Joe tarot is on the phone in his hotel room like j jota getting eight phone rings about what there's a new stand
And you where is he what someone's downtown? What is he up to?
What like there's a million dudes just wandering around
so again, uh
Fandom not fan of battle tendency is street fighter three giant second impact and and
Start us crusaders is third strike just the world everyone. No. No. No. Sorry. Uh, um
Diamonds are breakable as third strikes. Yeah, and users are wandering
There's a stand user who is completely separated from the plot until they accidentally break into his house
And then he's like get they're like he's like get out of my house
I don't want to be in your stupid plot and then he kicks them out with his stand
He's the best and then they're like, oh dude with his stand lives there. We should get him
It's like no I'm too busy
And that dude is super strong
Well, he's he's the for a reason, you know, yeah, yeah totally can't wait
There's people there are multiple people running businesses using their stands. There are three people
Yeah
In part four that are just doing a job
But they're secretly using their stands because your thought process does not even including the criminals profiting off of this
You know, like there are others doing their illicit businesses
Because once you understand a bit more about stands and then the process of how this story is coming together
It's like why wouldn't there be a bunch of assholes like because part three is exploiting part three is an epic
Against a super villain with his henchmen
And part four is what would it be like to live in a world in which one out of ten people have random super powers
Yeah, well, I mean not that high but like it's one out of a hundred
But it's like, you know, and it's like well a couple of them will be pieces of shit
One of them is gonna be like omega the devil
And you know, most of them are gonna kind of be puttin around doing odd jobs
That's why I think stardust is like kind of inferior
It's very because it's like because a lot of the stands are just dumb like look how this stand fights
Look how it fights. This one's a sword. You know, this one's a car
This one's you know, and they just fight with them every time and then and then in four
They start doing things with them other than fighting
And there's a bit of it in three but not as much and I think the the personalities of the stand users in four are a lot
Stronger. Yeah, they shine a bit more. Oh, yakuza going up to people. Okay. What is it? Okuyasu
Okuyasu. Okuyasu. Yeah, he's my favorite fucking character. Yeah going up to people and literally going i'm stupid explain the plot to me
Like no, really, you don't understand. I'm really everyone's doing their trickery thing and having the fight and he's like wait a second
I don't understand how we just won
It's explain it. I'm dumb like the whole like he actually said the jojo
The jojo oneing up oneing up of somebody by I already plotted whatever okuyasu. He's like what what?
No, that's crazy
How would you know how to do that? Does it saw that one interaction between uh, uh,
Jonah and Josuke where they're like
What are you what are you going to do if a stan user comes up and like has a super powerful stand and it might like slash you up?
And he's like i'll die probably
Jonah was just like
You can't believe anyone would say that
Oh, you probably all get killed. I don't know
What do you think
It also from from a perspective is the start of like your main character having a stand that can heal people
So stakes like simultaneously get higher and lower because everyone who's not the main character can get fucking
Wrecked so you can just fix them. Yeah, i'm like i'm almost at egypt where i am and like there hasn't been any real defensive
Like healing stands. Well, there's a there's a there's a character that gets like his whole arm melted off in part four
And he's like, whoa, this is really bad
Good thing. I'm not josuke. I guess
Yeah
It's it's a good setup. Uh, so yeah, let's let's get into the news. All right. Let's do it
So, uh, today we got the newest of the overwatch animated shorts. Did you guys watch any? I watched it yet dragon dragons
Did you watch the parody video that totally called that entire animation? No, so there's a guy
Who's a he appears to be a part-time animator? I barely know. I saw I saw his link in the neogaf topic where he goes
Okay, so like the anim action sequences are amazing, right?
But the writing is super bad because it's blizzard. So like this is how I think the next one's gonna go down
Okay, so hanzo's gonna be like infiltrating this super and he's like 70 on he's he's
Dead on he's done the whole first half is pretty perfect. Yeah the the ladder's a couple diversions, but it's like yeah
It's that being said you should watch it. Both genji and hanzo you look at them
If you can easily like they're they're the most open book kind of relationship and I can imagine someone easily calling them out
So I really cool. I still I still like got a little bit of a mark out when I when they both did their ultimate
I love genji and I love hanzo's designs
And I I would have said there was some of the best in that game
Until yesterday when I saw what their original designs
Yeah, yeah, the origins in which both of them used to be the same character
That had elements from both designs and then they split them they split them
It used to be genji
And then they split genji into two people much because it was it was the the bow and arrow and the sword
And every design element from both on one and it's the coolest looking guy ever
And then they split them into a more normal looking robo ninja. Oh, you don't mean the young model
No, I used to be the same character. Okay, like instead of instead of like plagues fusions
They split okay, and it's like it's a bummer because that original one
Final cost you hanzo is unbelievable. Yeah, they're great the fucking the
I hope I hope they may have the wolf one. I hope they make one for every character
Yeah, or every pair of characters that they yeah, I think they're doing it by pairs
So, yeah, no, uh, I I like after watching dragons. I went back and I watched the other ones as well
And like they're great. They're great, man. If you're not if you're into dialogue is like terrible and all of them
Oh, yeah, but you know, it's it's terrible in the cartoony little blizzard
I went back and tracked down a storyboard trailer where they showed them making them off
And there's a fourth one that has soldier 76 in it. Uh, yeah that will be coming
Yeah, well the trailer for them showed off like clips of stuff that
I hope they do like a big more elaborate thing in the future
Like like a like a half hour. I'm going. Yeah, well right now all it is is like character interactions and stuff
Which is good and character interactions mean like a bit more of a story
But like I'd love to see like a proper half hour to well
Luckily, you can see blizzard take a crack at that in the warcraft film that is coming. Yeah, I know
I don't want to see it. I'm gonna see it, but I don't well
Yeah, you're right in the sense that blizzard wouldn't even allow the movie to get made unless they had
Almost total control control over it. I'm assuming the disc is going to have
A collection of stuff to watch
Dude the disc of what overwatch. Oh, I have one thing. So did the pc client have anything?
No, no, but that wasn't the full pc client. You know, yeah
My brain actually went like maybe in a game of the year edition type. Why would it because it's also on console
Yeah, I guess but even those games don't come on discs anymore, but you get you understand what I'm saying
I don't even think they will though like maybe in a game of the year
I think I think they're more valuable as marketing materials than
Absolutely. Yeah
um
Did you guys see that leaked footage of the warcraft movie? No, no, can't wait to not
Oh, I'm gonna have to see it. It looks sorry you
Amazing it looks like so there's there's four scenes that leaked out three with humans and one that's just the orcs
The one that's just the orcs looks great
Any of the scenes that have the humans in them? It looks so
Fucking bad. They look like cosplayers man
The highlights on the armor make their armor look like plastic
And so they look like warcraft characters. It looks terrible. Just terrible
It's it's a really hard thing to kind of like how do you nail down?
Blizzard's art style visually like live action. You don't do it in live action
You make the whole thing a cartoon like I don't I don't know why they didn't offer like stories of warcraft or whatever
That was going to be totally baffling that there are live actors in it. It completely ruins every shot. I want to I want a black thorn movie
It's coming. It's not it's coming
Apparently apparently they if we if we act like it's coming and we make everyone act like it's coming
You will it and they can't not do it. Currently like black thorn is like pseudo shelves
There's something to do with the artists like are unhappy with black thorn in their history or some shit. It's coming
Like black thorn might be gone forever guys. No
Do you any of you guys remember the um before world of warcraft came out there's going to be a cart and animated
Yeah, it was an it was an it was an adventure game and and what was it called? It was like tales of warcraft adventures
Warcraft adventures
That's how you do it and it got it got cancelled and turned into the back story for warcraft 3
Yeah, it was it was all thrall and yeah, it's about we'll know it was about thralls dad
Oh, and then thralls dad is like the main character of the warcraft movie
And the one that's being made now. Yeah, okay
Well, it's going to be so fucking bad. So um and a night elves movie, you know also throwing their hat in the
Film making ring is nintendo
Who are saying they're going to now be working on feature length films? I saw that and I was like why?
Why because there's money? I know but like they have giant brands game output man
They have giant brands and there's money. No, but like internally working on them. Why?
Wait, does it say internally? They're not doing they're doing not live action and um
Because they can't make it internally
Because they're not a movie studio. Well, yeah, they can well who made star fox. They go they give it to hit. Um, yeah
They license out their character. I g who did that? No, it was a hit studio either way
It wasn't them. Yeah, you can license out your character. That's the pigment the pigment ones. They did internally. Yeah
Well, those are short. Those are fantastic. Hey take people off making an x games to make crappy movies
While nintendo intends to be heavily involved with the production of these pictures the company is currently in talks with outside partners for
Thank goodness
Like I was like Michael beta make a zelda movie like do do I want to punch out movie? Yes, of course
Who wouldn't want that you already have six of them?
No, but one with much more racism. Yeah. Yeah anime
I want way more racism
Do you have a couple of those too?
That's true. Yeah, but you'll never get a punch out movie. It's it's gonna be like a battle clash
It's gonna be the battle clash anime and they're never gonna touch anything outside of that battle clash anime
It's gonna happen. No, if we will it we can do it
I want to start how that works on an OVA. Yeah, it does. We're little mac challenges. Epo
There we go. Yeah, sure. Go check out fucking screw attacks channel. They have like a 30 minute death battle. I'm sure
Speaking of video games. Do you have the assassin's creed trailer in there? Yeah? Yeah
So, I mean, um, that's nintendo nintendo's do with the movies the other thing, of course
Yes, like you mentioned is this the assassin's creed trailer popped out and some facts about the movie. Yeah
I saw one of those facts 85 percent
65 65 65
65 yeah, sorry 65 percent
Modern day 35 percent in the past. Okay, that's why would you tell us that?
Don't tell it because they were asked
They they tell you that because it's a video game movie and that brings with it like weird adaptation concerns that is the same thing with books
Like the stupid animus claw. Yeah, so a man's a man sitting on a table
Twitching with something on his head is not exciting for viewers. Yeah, so we have to have him attached to this big cloth
You know what that's kind of interesting in a way that well the action scenes will all be in the past
And 30 percent. Uh, no, what was it?
35 65 35 percent of action is what most
Standard movies would have I'd say it's gotta be all in the past
Except for the final scene where with his ancestors memories. He's able to fight his way out
And we and we know that in the trailer. They're showing him in the present
Helped up to the machine doing flips and and tricks and we'll get to have
900s like the ending new assassin's creed one that we should have had you know, no, no the movie just stops
The movie just stops and it cuts to credits
Well, the question is are they going to uh set up the doomsday
Plot device if they're smart or is it just going to be we really I really hope not because the only thing that made that
Doomsday plot device interesting at all is that the series started in like 2006 and it was about the 2012 apocalypse
Well, that's no longer viable
What did everyone actually think of the trailer? I thought it looked really bad. I think I thought it looked pretty good
It was all right. Yeah, like I'm it looked better than I thought it was gonna look better than the warcraft trailers
It's probably gonna least fair comparison ever
It's I feel the same way I did when I saw the prince of persia trailers where it's like this looks like it's doing the material
It'll probably not be amazing, but it'll just be like I can't wait until it'll be a soft six
I can't wait until desmond starts to control people's metal and throws it around
It's not desmond though. No, it's not a different character. Fast benders is a different person
I have like a magneto joke
that okay
He's not in the movie. Yeah magneto is
It'll probably not again. It'll probably not be amazing. It'll probably be a soft six or so
I feel like that's the that's the feeling I got, you know
Well, uh prince of persia was like a pretty big disaster. So I'd like to
I'd like to think that ubi soft wouldn't even try this again unless it was a sure hit
I don't know but was prince of persia like offensive to prince of persia. No, no, no, no
I don't mean like like yeah critically. It wasn't great, but it lost shitloads of money for everyone involved
That's what I mean like financially. It's a disaster. But that was prince of persia. That's not assassin screed assassin screed's a surefire hit
And the other thing is is your assassin gonna be like a cool guy or is he gonna be?
You know our or will we be all tired? Are we getting half all tired half?
Hco, are we getting somewhere like what where you know, what's kind of infuriating white men about
I don't I don't think I think we're gonna get a reflection of fast benders character
I think it's gonna be more adapted to him as as a future person
Yeah fast benders a producer on this as well not that producers is like, you know
Means anything or that all that much but he obviously has faith in the project
He's a fucking producer on it. So and I love fast benders, you know, it always bugs me about these kinds of game movies. They're always
Like, you know what would have been a good time for this movie
Like 2009. Yeah when when everyone was like, fuck. Yeah assassin screed. Yeah. Yeah, you're right
Not when everyone's like, uh, maybe the new assassin screed game isn't bad
When Veronica Mars could have been in it. It's still like one of the biggest game franchises in the world
But you know what I mean? It's gonna do amazing. I feel like every video game movie misses its own zeitgeist
Yeah, but it's not about you liking it. It's about them selling tickets mortal comment
And it's gonna sell it like do you not do you not think that like more tickets would get sold if a game is like hot
Yeah, but and they tried remember
Did they yeah, it was one of the ones that's been banding around for a long time
I think so for a while and like look at warcraft like the world of warcraft movie
Back when it was the world of warcraft movies been in development for like fucking 11 years
Yeah, same ramy used to be but then on the other hand we have like the angry birds movie coming out just a bit after angry birds
Is hot and it's like
And it's and it's just a bit and it's the well same
And it's like the most grossing non
It sure is grossing. Well, well, here's what you got apparently me out
Apparently sitting at 65 on rotten tomatoes while ratchet and clank is uh, I get zero or something
I heard from like a couple guys one of whom's a huge ratchet fan, you know, um, he said it's fucking great
It's it's ratchet and clank
Does it know why it's getting bad on rotten tomatoes people are not that bad
No, they're not hot on on ratchet and clank and uh angry birds is is kind of as a fan of the early ratchet and clank games
If you told me, yo man, that movie's great. It's ratchet and clank. I'd be like, oh that movie's terrible then maybe I
Because ratchet and clank are not
They're not even as like interesting as fucking jack and daxter. I was gonna say why not jack and daxter movie
He's hot right now. That'd be fucking more interesting than ratchet and fucking clank
Ratchet and clank are the fucking ass ends of the mascot apocalypse. This world is more suited for jack
Yeah, no dexter. But anyway, like like angry birds will have this crown for like a week until warcraft comes out
And then that'll have it for like a few months until assassin's creed comes out. And that's it. Yeah
Uh, uh, warcraft comes out in december and assassin comes out in december
Yeah, ubisoft's really good with their like other
Associated product branding like they've got all those tom clancy books. Uh, those are super good a shit load of assassin's creed novels
I thought they had one. I don't know if uh, god
Imagine if they fucking just bought that. Yeah, anyway, I don't know all those books based on the tom clancy games
You know what I would love
Tom clancy's splitter cell novels that are written by all I know I know it actually goes both ways
Yeah, yeah, that's the weird part of like you make a joke, but I don't know if assassin's creed is going to hit like
Huge mainstream massive movie like red carpet. I think I mean has the potential box office number
He has the potential like unity was still doing like six million units
But what does ac mean to like the non video gaming? But that's what I mean like it's it's that big
It's that known. It's like call of duty. It's up there, you know, so
Hmm. I think it's gonna do great like just on the brand
Unless it turns out to be like fucking abysmal
Because people seem to be pretty good at going at not going to abysmal movies nowadays
But like that's not true at all. Yeah, those adam sander movies did great
Oh, which which one pixels all the ridiculous a pixels did good pixels did well. Yeah, I made money made money
Okay, then I take that back. I remember the whole pacific rim. Paul blark made more money. Oh, yeah, that's true
Or was no Liam. It's as bad as it's ever been
But it's it's rare. It's rare. Yeah, no, I'm thinking of the wrong movies then
Word of mouth. I was gonna say like ratchet's not doing too hard
Word of mouth works really well for superhero movies and comic book movies
But like it does another that's another economy almost
Think of all those shitty horror movies that are too shitty for even Matt to go see
Yeah, do well
Oh, man is don't breathe on the docket. Uh, so speaking of things that do shitty
Now Paypal will no longer protect you from Kickstarter campaigns that fall apart
So they never had to like that's the whole thing with Kickstarter, but like but like people were
Filing like yeah for their money back when when they didn't get their product
Which was something that paypal would have for like if you buy an amazon purchase or whatever
They would they would do it and I would venture that I get where they're coming from
But that's not Kickstarter. You're not buying a product
Putting out money on faith and if you lose it, that's a bad investment on your part
The terms of the terms of service they had to allow it for people to kind of finagle that and so now they're just making
Now it's clear that just you're gambling if you put your money down and if it doesn't happen you can't ask for it back
Um, so well even though Kickstarter's terms say you can
Well if paypal's involved there's just saying yeah, no, but I paypal's not gonna cover what I mean is is that
Kickstarter's terms are very specific that if the thing that you pledged for isn't delivered to you you are entitled for your money back
No, what does it say that in their terms of service? Are you sure? Yes
The the the the person that promises you those those goods or items is legally required to provide them
Are you sure? Yes
That seems a little out there
Kickstarter amended that about six months ago after like near or around that yogscast thing, right?
They they they amended it to be more clear and like because people said well Kickstarter
There's it's no guarantee and Kickstarter came out. It's like actually yeah, there is
yeah
Well, uh, the the reason why you almost never hear about it is because if your product doesn't get delivered
There usually is no money to give back to you
Oh, so is it if they still have money?
Well, no, they're obligated and that means you can sue them all you want
And Kickstarter will put their hands up and go hey you idiots you made the deal
You're we're not going to protect you from any lawsuit or litigation. Okay as long as I get my ukulele. Everything's fine. Yeah
But if I don't I'm gonna be angry
Well on that on that Kickstarter note, uh, I've been asked by a friend to uh mention this
But there's a webcomic called super mega that has a Kickstarter mega comics is amazing
Okay, amazing for years. So I have this webcomic. So I don't know too much about it
They they just launched a Kickstarter today for a printed book. So good if you're into super mega
Check that out if you like their avant-garde black on yellow color scheme. The video was pretty funny, but uh
Honestly, I'm not you know what I'm a big fan of it's like I put money into that Dark Souls board game
I'm a big fan of kick starters that
Like now anyway after there have been so many that are just like
It's for something simple that is not even an if
It's a when
Right. It's like, hey, do you want this item?
We'll make as many as pledges we get like the lup litter box. Yeah
Which I still haven't received, you know, you can just gone and bought a different litter box
Just go make it. No, you should get your money. I want an officially licensed through PayPal
Go buy it. No, but I haven't gotten the sense that they haven't shipped them out to me
Go buy like one of those things that you put your dishes in and then you just cut holes in the bottom
And then you I'll I'll just teach your cats to go on the toilet. They're smart, right? They can do that
Oh, you can do that. They can do that. Some of them can but you're kidding. You tried and Zach doesn't want to do it
Doesn't want to do it. What about lily? She's young
No, okay
If you want to get one more kickstarter thing in there, they they're just kind of hinting at today
there's a trailer that the
The system shock remake will actually be heading to kickstarter which is a bit of a disappointment because
After it was already announced that like for a little while it seemed like not we're totally making it
But I think at the end of the day what it's going to be is because there's no details yet
There's just it there's a 15 second trailer of a logo and it says system shock remake
Coming to kickstarter in like the next month or so
That this is probably be something it's going to get made regardless. They want some extra money for additional
It's probably gonna be one of those kick starters like shadow run hong kong in which it's all stretch goals
Yeah, that's what i'm thinking like the game will exist
Yeah, but we just want these stretch goal items. Fuck it though. I'm gonna help out
I'll help that because I want that real bad
Basically, we've already discussed it when we do system shocks or whatever on shit storms
Man, this is good. Holy shit. Is it old? It's so old. It's too archaic. Yeah gotta fix it up a little more guys
Yeah, so there you go
What's up walls you gotta look on your face
Yeah, because i'm just thinking that like that was me with kotor a minute ago
And it's just like sometimes kotor is not within that realm. Oh you mean way beyond dude
System shock is like arcane
Okay
Uh
System shock is like 94. It feels like it anyway. It's like 96, but yeah, but like kotor came out like 2001 2002
Like it came out on xbox. You know what the fucking
Like system shock would have come out on like a super nintendo
Like that's the level of pc game. We're talking about yeah, or no like a playstation 1 actually
Yeah, probably yeah
So, uh, what is soon going to be arcane?
Is the disney infinity brand? Oh, yeah, because there it goes johnny vignacchi's curse
Maintains actually like super shitty because like after after this all happened
There was a lot of word that came out from former employees saying like
It was sucky to work there because it was so fun to work on everyone loved working on it
But disney was always saying how it wasn't profitable enough
Even though it was the most profitable toys to life everyone thought it was doing really well
That's exactly
It was it was that's the thing it really it was more profitable than skylanders. Yeah, that's the thing
It was doing really well. It was number one
They were beating their core competitor and at number one in their own
So it was a screenix thing of just you're not high enough
I venture this is just a guess on my part
But I venture that a big part of it is when you've got disney marvel
And star wars as your all brands all three and you're only raking in that much
When you look at how much like battlefield shipped 14 million units a battlefront, pardon me
Like you're like these are the biggest brands in the world. They should be doing these numbers. Why should yeah?
It's still totally. It still sucks. Yeah. Yeah. No, I don't agree with the decision at all
And apparently the rumors are that well now that it's uh
Now that we're not the disney infinity is dead. They've announced that they're pretty much moving out of the disney productions role
And uh, that's right. They're they're closing up game console
This is the second time disney has done this where they they bought into a lot of companies pretty hard a few years ago on the 360 ps3
There's more spectrobes propaganda games that made like um
Turok did torok split second split second exactly very good. And then they they they stopped it
And they said look no more publishing for disney this video game stuff is stupid now
They they tried it again another stop and again like so although trying it again
It was just for infinity. They can't hold that goddamn super cool-looking Pirates of the Caribbean rpg
Oh, yeah, I forgot about so like if if if in five to ten years disney looked at you mr. Programmer director
Miss artist or whatever and says
Hey, how would you like to be lead on a new thing at disney? Yeah, I think about it
Maybe do the one project fucking think about it really hard
Because the that that like they've done it twice they started up and shut down entire work is work within five years
around but
There's no career there
So there was uh, also what came out in the light of this was the stuff about disney infinity 4.0
What it would have been. Yeah, kotaku got a really amazing interview and there's tons of details really interesting giant figures with like lights
And crazy elaborate like yeah, 12 inch toys and those were like the special ones
They're not like the standard, but yeah, 12 inch figures 45 dollar 12 inch
Disney infinity. Well, let's let's see if activision goes on a hiring spree and steps up the skylanders train
Because a bunch have to yeah, no, but but a bunch of qualified staff for the very similar product
Like just became very available. Hope those people find work. They clearly did a good job
They just didn't do enough of the good. Oh, that's I hate that mentality so fucking much. I nailed it. How hard did you nail it?
Not enough
But I nailed it
It's it's a bummer that they were never able to get some of the like chief
Fan complaints done by the third game
Because like they're like I played a bunch of two and like one of the biggest bummers is you can't use any character anywhere
Yep, like yeah, I remember you said toy box mode is where toy box mode is the create a level thing and do anything
But like if you're playing an avengers story, you could only use select members of the avengers, you know
And there's like there's a disney infinity 3 version of captain america where he doesn't have his his uh
Mask on and you can't use that in di2 because it's a different character and they're like a bunch of shit like that
Where just character like compatibility was bad. Yeah, it was really bad. It's a bummer that there is no version out there
And there never will be where compatibility is so now we're back to skylanders and amibos
The fact that lego dimensions
Oh, the fact that nintendo apparently they're getting sonic
Apparently rumor has it the fact that nintendo is not making gangbusters numbers on a pokemon version of this sort of thing
Is insane the fact that nintendo is not making any effort to make any game like this at all is insane like it's ridiculous
Don't worry that it'll be an x launch title. No, won't that be smart? But hey
If they did they would fucking light it up
I would I would clap and be fucking pumped for that game. Absolutely assuming
Stock held up. Oh wait, it won't so never mind. No stock's fine now, but hey
Who's your favorite starter my favorite starter of the new ones?
That bird one that bird one's pretty good
Who's your favorite starter off
The bird one's the best, but like I genuinely don't like the cat. I don't think it's interesting. I don't think the cat's very interesting
And I think I like the um
The dog the blue one who's your favorite starter the green one's the best
Uh, I don't really like any of them. They're all kind of stupid. I should mention that like I always
Always go for the grass type
But I even without that I still like flying grass is really interesting
But I still think the bird is is the best because it's like a little angry little cute bird
Pat how many lucario amiibos do you want? I could go for zero. Well
There you go. They're in stock
So, yeah, there's how much they call there's the new amazon prime ships them out 15 bucks. Wow
So yeah, pokemon's new starters were announced and you can go take a look at them
They showed the legendaries too and some of the some of the game footage
Who's my favorite starter you ask? I don't give a shit until I see the final evolution of them
Yeah, that's a big this big deal. I gotta say the game looks really pretty though
Uh full-scale character models and stuff big stuff. That's a nice touch the previous one. That's a nice touch
I thought I was gonna be all the way back in on x and y but even x and y I quit halfway through
I didn't dig x and y at all. Yeah, but like looks really good. I keep I want to be into pokemon
But I always fall off halfway through. Yeah, I I really really hope that they have like uh
Whatever nx is that they have an nx version of sun and moon because
Like I just I just
I don't question their decision because it makes sense to be on 3ds. You'll sure most units that way
But like ultimately it means waiting another three years to get a a next gen pokemon game
It's just like like black to white to release after the 3ds was out
What's the ability to catch them all went away?
My interest always fades because I don't have a realistic goal. It's not that it's not that it doesn't it went away
It's just you have to jump through hoops, but uh, no, it's dude with all the event pokemon
There's no realistic way to not
Cheatingly get
All of the pokemon. Yeah, there you can do the online trading there with the event pokemon
There's like 30 event pokemon now the
Yeah, they're a lot better with like distributing them, but you still have to wait years for the whole rotation like like the
deoxys
That one was away, but how am I gonna get that one? There's other ones that are tougher, but yeah, but that's
Anyway, um with with the idea of not trying to collect them all because I already did that
They don't stun back in the day. They haven't said collect them all for years because they know it's impossible. They know
So um catch them all. I'm sorry, but I want to catch them all yokai watch 2 comes out in september
Yeah, but do you actually get to play that or you just move them around on the touch screen? I wish
Sorry, do you actually get to play yokai watch or do you do you got to play you wish?
What I said, I wish the new slogan was kill them all
410 billion
I'm mocking yokai watch is like battle system where you anyway. I think that I've just I enjoyed
I enjoyed x and uh and y enough that I can jump back into a pokemon game at some point not right away
But I have skip this one go for the next one. I have I have it in me to get the anx fusion one and you know what I don't
I don't um
Regret learning about all the super cool new ones that that I enjoyed in that one
Yeah, thank you. So there's a there's a fucking pokemon. That's a trash bag. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's called trash man
And hot edge and double edge. I'm not gonna end up sticking to this
But like I'll get back in when mega evolutions get back out
Because like yeah, I'm not gonna stick to that. No, you're not wrong. I'm not gonna stick to that
I'm really surprised at how much I dislike mega evolutions
It doesn't seem like a big deal and then it feels like it is. I really don't like it at all
Yeah, that's uh
Yeah, anyway, uh
But uh, there is the fact that a pokemon outsold a street fighter 5
And with that we can bridge over to capcom announcing a lot of stuff
I feel like pokemon outsold street fighter is like the most obvious statement in the universe poken
He means oh poken. Yeah by a wide margin poken outsold street fighter. Oh, that sucks. Yeah
uh, so
With street fighter 5, uh performing. All right, but not hitting the numbers that they were looking for fine, I guess
Uh, they are now. Yeah, but you didn't nail it prioritizing. That's what capcom would actually completeness
Even if it means delaying the game. Yep, and this is a really like open
Uh, uh article I find because it's it's very much like the thing that we always yell about that
I know I always yell about when it comes to delaying your game. Uh is like them straight up going like, yeah, you know what?
Uh from now on instead of trying to hit development deadlines, we're just going to pursue quality
Yeah, and it's like they straight up admit that we wanted to hit development deadlines and impress investors
And that's why we put out stuff before and this is this is like round eight of like capcom game
Doesn't sell that great capcom makes a public really open facing statement about how they're going to improve their development
Like when a dragon's dogma came out and they were like, we're not going to do on disc dlc after dragon's dogma
And now this it's like
You'll get there one day capcom step by step and you'll be just a real developer again
Well, I'll tell you what I'll tell you what uh resident evil zero hd selling
800,000 copies is a pretty good step so developer
I we saw we all saw that on my on my computer right before we started. I I pied it on the dog
Yeah, no, no, but I assumed one of you photo shot. I bring I bring that up only that we saw it because all of us went
Except for you because you knew what?
what
Resident evil zero
Like sucks compared to the other mainline resident evil games and the fact that it almost sold a million
I seriously doubt the gamecube version even probably
Approach that no, no, no, it's sold over a million the gamecube version. Oh, did it? Yeah, look cool. Someone someone
That game sucks compared to remake. Yeah, like
Clearly the message has been sent make resident evil old guys make it a bit older looking
We could go for some old ass resident evil. You know what the thing me and that we're just complaining about system shock
You need to put some of that in a resident evil
Not all not not everything two tablespoons of old tablespoons of old
Um, I don't know what the counter is on the re-releases versus
Original entries
Thing is but like they did in that same announcement of it being 800k also say that yeah
We've got four and five coming to current gen and the remake of two was on its way as well
Yeah, uh
This this was their uh, their finance reports exactly does that?
Pretty much mean that there's now more
Releases of re than there are original re titles. Well, well, there was there was there was there was resident evil and resident evil
Uh, sorry remake and re zero on the we there was like they'd been remade a lot re four
Sorry re code veronica hd also came out as a as a bonus re for we addition re for hd re for pc
Which is a different release? I like there's there's way more
Ports than really I would like to ask you a question. What are your criteria here?
Is it just how many total resident evil games are there versus
Are you just mean on this generation of course this generation only? Uh, I know I mean in total from the original release
That are not just a port of the original
Okay, because there are like at least four or five different versions of re one alone. Okay, okay
So there's a Saturn version, which is different. Is this there's even stuff like umbrella
Is it the most re-release franchise directors cut deadly silence?
There's remake
Yeah, holy shit, but no because mega man. They don't remastered remake and remaster mega man
They just they report it. I mean I mean like new assets changing it up re-releasing it not just porting it
There's resident evil 2 probably r2 on the 64, which is a port but has different stuff in it
There's resident evil 2 re 5 gold a fucking dual shock addition that has that battle mode
Yeah, like every single game has multiple ports. Okay, and those ports always have new stuff
That like justifies either a separate subtitle or yeah, they're all generally good value like
I don't think there's any that are really bad
Every time we move forward a generation they bring them all there's resident evil code veronica on the dreamcast, right?
Then there's code veronica x
And then I think and then I think the code veronica x on the game cube has one small difference
It has more stuff in the battle mode. I think yeah, and then there's code veronica hd on the 360p
Which is x. Yeah, but not the game but it has some news has some new features new lighting and shit
Yeah, woolly um zero and
Uh
No, zero did make it
Two and three never got to ps3 and 360
Uh, the ps1 version is available. Yeah, but by emulation, but those ones got omitted there code veronica
Did that get the hd treatment? Yes, it did. Yeah, it did and it's available on uh playstation now
And then foreign up is just like yeah
Remaking zero are out on ps3
With this with the ps4 and to answer your question. Is there any port of these that is like just
Like not worth it. It's the dual shock version of director's cut because the back of the box lies
Because director's cut says hey, we're gonna have the uncensored cutscenes and they don't and then on top of the music
And then all back of dual shock they say okay. No this time guys
We have the uncensored cutscenes and they don't
I didn't ask that but thanks for the crazy
Interesting and then of course rounding out the capcom news the uh the uh the
Announcement that we should expect new mega man monster hunter and send goku basara mobile games and by march 2017
So i'm shocking they also had some other good stuff in there in their financial projections
Like they have two major titles this year where they're forecasting over four million units sold
Uh, they have a unannounced monster hunter game not stories where they're forecasting
Oh, they said it's not stories. Well because stories is listed separately. So then it's got to be fifth generation
Or or xg
They I think they said they weren't gonna. I think they said that too
And I think the fact that
Generations is releasing in the west as the regular one kind of lends credence to that
Hopefully fifth gen monster hunter on nx
That'd be nice. Who knows
Maybe it'll be maybe they'll finally have an hd one and they'll go like you know ps4
I have I have something that I have something to say about those
The monster hunter games coming to to fucking mobile
If they do like the last monster hunter game on mobile was a explorer 2g basically was 2g. Oh, you mean the direct ports. Yeah
If they put out 3u or 3g or whatever you want to call it on the phone
Okay, so monster hunter has like
Tough controls even in the best but the underwater controls are ridiculous. Yeah, and phone games
When adapted to traditional controls often work poorly
The swimming controls in 3g. They barely worked in the first place. They barely work with a fucking dual analog controller. They're terrible
so
God have mercy on the souls of anyone who tries to play a third generation monster hunter game on a phone
I think I think they mean more original titles like monster hunter touch and monster hunter explore that'd be fine
Because there's there's a bunch of original non
That would be fine because I tried playing uh two portable
Which one was it was a two portable whatever it is that that one I tried playing it and I was like
This is a fucking nightmare to just just say 2g that everyone will know what you mean
You know to really it's crazy to really get cack on the focus up and like you know
Try to get back on track where they have like a nice even release schedule
They should really focus on bionic commando. Yeah. Yeah just make like big maybe a big console game
Yeah, yeah that that a movie that a movie
You know, I think that's a live franchise that I'd like to I like to I like to e-sport
I'd like to play uh, I'd like to play a game in which you plays the arm
And your controls are limited to pointing and the arm is like that will be that will be my wife
That will be the vr game. Yeah, and it will work perfectly because you can't move yourself in vr
You can only point and move there my my dream game is uh as a bionic commando using the updated version
But in 2d that plays like rearmed. Okay, man
They should have a yearly release schedule where it's bionic commando then followed by dark void and then
spyborgs
And every year you get a new one. What do you guys think the love three you're just gonna shit on flock like that
You're just gonna drop trial and shit. No, uh, yeah, no, it's not flock anymore. It's sour patch
That's the capcom digital download game to shit on now
The booty age of beauty those are fine sour patch is the one. No, I played that game. I didn't think it was fine
What do you what do you guys think the likelihood of re7 appearing at this year's e3 is I think it has to would you say it's 100%
I think it's like 95 either at e3 or tgs, but probably e3 one was uh six how many years ago a while 2012
2012 oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, it feels it feels a lot shorter. Yeah. Yeah like and
it's just
Like like it's it's frustrating because like re7 exists because people have mentioned re7. Yeah, it's coming
But there's nothing
I think they're gonna push it as hard as they can for this year because they've been
Parading a lot about how it's, you know, resident evils 20th anniversary. I know it like, you know, it's gonna be big
Whatever whatever it has to do. They're gonna put a lot of muscle behind it every resident evil game is big
Right. Yeah, but like a lot of muscle, right? But it's like
I'm just I'm very interested like yeah, was it gonna be what is it?
We've never gone because the the series is in flux now
We've never gone like we've never gone like two or three months without talking about re in some way shape or form
Well, no, it's it's great. So I feel like it's a great series. Yeah. No, no
I just don't want it to be six where they clearly don't know what they want. I seriously doubt that they
I just don't want 5000 characters 5000 campaigns. That's not what I wanted at all ever
So that's why I think that like it feels like six was not that long ago even though it was
Yeah, yeah, uh, it was very long ago. I still I still only completed the one campaign
Really? Yeah, I never bought it. I never beat adis campaign
You never be adis now. I beat everybody else. This is like the best one. So it's a bummer
I but but by the time I got there. Yeah, yeah having to play it at the end sucks for sure
I played it first. I was so tired. Yeah, and rev2 came after that. No. Yeah. Yeah
Put it in to put it in a very good to put it into perspective
When six came out there weren't even rumors of the ps4 xbox one
Yeah, I believe so and now they've been out for multiple years
We still sat by the glass window leading to the development side. Yeah, that's how far back that was right
The podcast didn't exist podcast didn't exist and it's totally likely or like it's it's viable that fucking three years now
Yeah, that they might have now many wars have started and ended
Yeah, but they might announce re7 at e3 and it come out this year as well because that's how re6 went
Where it was a really very quick reveal to release window
I think that's likely even even though one of their projections for an unannounced game was four million units
Even though resident evil tends to like really kill it on sales and do amazing every time
Um, that sounds like they're that sounds like that might be the appropriate one other franchise that would get that high
But not you know, like they're down monster hunter or maybe that's lower than in their projections for five or six
Yeah, I think so either way it'll sell
Insane like resident evil six is like one of their top five selling games of all time
Which is crazy when you think about how much people dislike re6
It's one of those things like even without even with its own flaws
It's still a okay game average maybe and there's a lot there
But it's built on the backs of re4 and re5 which are amazing
So like of the the amount of people that just bought that when they saw the name on it
It's likely like 60% of all and capcom is really aggressive with sales. They're like western companies. Plus remember that demo
Did a lot of damage the dragons dogma one. Yeah, people really didn't like it for a long time and that's when they fixed it up a bit
What deep down what?
You know, I I made oh, there's a recent rumor on that if you're wondering
I made so many jokes about deep down that Liam would always like reply with like they actually showed it off yesterday
It's been it or so or some shit
But like now now it's ridiculous if you if you look into tgs stuff from previous years
Even last year it was playable and there's a bunch of cool footage of it
But the the going rumor right now is it's going to be one of the launch titles with a new model of ps4
To really like show off what it's got
And that that is credible because it was always co-developed with sony japan
Similar to like bloodmore and or freedom wars or whatever, you know
So was ds3 announced and released entirely in the time window that yeah, of course. Yeah, it was absolutely
From what works fast. Yeah
Uh, yeah re6 is capcom's second best selling time game of all time street fighter 2 the number one
No, it's number three. What resident evil 5 is number one. Oh, really? Yeah
That's like that's how insane the sales are on these games. That's the one that I bought and played. Yeah, it's quite good
um, so the uh
And then going off of the talking about souls for a minute there that patch that they put out
Oh, one of to get rid of bugs and cheaters doesn't work got rolled the fuck back got rolled back
Yeah, because of tons of people not only we're still cheating and having no consequence whatsoever
Motherfuckers were freezing and crashing left and right. Yeah, like nice sick
So what I'm doing right now is that there's a there's a non hacking trick that you can use
to duplicate everything
So what I'm doing is that for the dlc
I'm I've created a lucky ted character and that lucky ted character is going to have
Everything ready for the dlc, right? So I'm playing I'm like, oh, I gotta I gotta get this weapon drop
Right. I gotta get the flamboyors and all of a sudden just like
Full two second
freeze
Back to normal. I'm like, oh that must be because of the same backup utility. I'm using turn that off
Brr, brr, whoa, that's the noise
It's that's what it feels like
And just like terrible and like I look it up and you go to the subreddit and like, you know what the bug was
Your video card would idle to zero
For a full second and a half
Fuck guys, how'd that make it out onto the servers? That's terrible and it's and it happened to
Everyone everyone on pc had this bug
How the hell does that get out like pc testing is really tough?
But if that's like consistent I would I was saying that like well at least it happened to everyone
So they'll fix it and people pointed out. Well, they didn't fix the durability bug pat like, okay
So that's fair a rollback isn't great
But it's better than but but so like earlier whatever we talked about like yeah
Then patching things or whatever you're like never gonna happen because of how they treated the last game
That's right
This time around it looks like they're doing shit and they're doing a shit timely
But fucking it up and rolling back and trying in a faster
Like dark souls one's multiplayer was recently finally fixed after like a year
Of being broken
So yeah, it's rolled back and uh, we'll see what happened. But cheating is still happening
I saw a video of a motherfucker. It can't no like the way it's but you can't stop it
There there are
Non hacking ways to cheat in that game. You want it? You want to cheat in dark souls? Here you go
Back up your save
Drop a bunch of items for a player that comes into your game
Re bad game immediately. Yeah, quit the game
Put your save back have them give your items back to you
You've now duplicated all of your items and you can do that with soul items
So
like
Like I was talking to guys like you can cheat outside drop out dragon and stuff like that and guys that do the
The the the fucking pvp stuff all you do is you go beat the dancer
Then you walk to an area you bring a guy in he drops a million souls for you
And every weapon at the game at plus five then he reloads his save
And he still has all that shit like there's no way you'll ever be able to stop that stuff
The the turning you into a dragon
There's not really so much of a problem with kicking you into a pvp stuff is the real turning you into a dragon
Kicking you into a bonfire area knocking you out of world teleporting players, etc
That's bad sure
But it's actually really uncommon and it's only a real problem because you get banned if they touch you
If like if they just removed all limiters on it entirely it would be fine
The cheaters would go away in two months once they once call duty came out or whatever
And it would be fine. I don't think that happened. I think you just ruined the game pretty much
No, but dark souls two had its cheating heyday
And then it went away when people got tired of it and the communities for these games stay around for years and years and years
So like just take all cheat protection off entirely and on that related note overwatch
Cheating has blizzard pretty much commented like if anyone's caught cheating you're banned forever forever really interesting comments on their part
Because it's uh, it it really fights that video that we saw. Yeah
Uh, we were saying you remember when the aim bot guy the way the well when the revive happened how the aim just flickered
Apparently that's actually a problem with their replay system
And so that that video was actually caused by that's their replay system working like that
Um, so so it's very much a response to that probably a response to this kind of stuff and these allegations granted
They could still be true, but yeah, totally. But um, no grace period though. You're done. Wrap it up. That's how it should be
That's exactly how it should be on most games in a competitive game like this where it's like you're always playing with other people
Well, it's it's more like blizzard's gonna put money into this game. Yeah this game
It's sanctity needs to be preserved. There's no offline mode. I imagine I imagine fighting bots. I imagine they're the same way
That's cool because most games don't even have bots anymore. I appreciate that
There was recently a fantastic video that bunny did about bots
Uh about how like when these games are fucking dead, you can still go back and play perfect dark and understand what perfect dark was supposed to be
Yeah, but in in the games that came out in the past five years. Yeah, you can't well that that was the thing with uh,
Killzone mercenary recently where I was like shit. There's no way to just pick up and play this game
You have to either like load into a campaign level or play online at home and they added a bot mode and I was like man
That's perfect and like that like having your game preserved through history via bots doesn't get you extra sales
No, but it's appreciated. Yeah, it's a very good feature
Uh, there's some vita trailers that dropped
My hero academia battle for all
a fighting game for
Hero academia is that a 3ds game?
Is it yeah, you know, I think it was it was a 3ds game. Yeah
um
I haven't watched the show, but it's a fighting game like is it by namco again. I think it's by namco
Yeah, yeah, we'll see
Namco licensed games go both ways like the recent sort arc game wasn't so hot and
Yeah, we'll see and then there was the uh
Seven scarlet trailer or rather intro for a visual novel project that's being done by the deadly premonition producer and toy box
Yeah, I wonder if that's going to be anything. It's it's by otomate and they do like
Uh, like visual novels aimed at girls like here's all the pretty boys, you know
How pretty are they? Well, the company name is otomate. Yeah otomate. Yeah, exactly. It's pretty clear what they do. Um
But it's only about it's by the producer of deadly peace. So I don't know like it's really sweary who who
Like mad unless you know anything about that like the producer of deadly premonition versus sweary's influence
Can't imagine it producers are usually just producers. Yeah, exactly like like the visionary game by jokuri, right? Like
Like what would that be? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly
um
And uh, last but not least we've got
No surprise here, but according to the uh rank of the sexiest shonen jump villains. Yeah dio fucking takes
Obviously, that's that's not the story
It's really not neither is neither is the story that uh second place goes to hisoka
Uh, who's that from uh honkers. It's honkers
Honk honk
What's the what's the name further research is needed. What's the name?
Yeah, he know he know honoka honoka. Yeah. God. Anyway, it's like so cuz the his bag guy from hunter x hunter
Uh, hunter x hunter. So so it is honkers. Honker x honker. That's not the story
Honkers x honkers. The story is not that third place went to light yagami. Yeah, because obviously
You want to take a guess at who took fourth place? Don't say Griffith. Was it buggy from one piece?
You thinking that berserk is popular enough to even get on any pool. That's crazy
Also, like is that even shonen jump? It's not shonen. It's uh, it's animal or whatever. Yeah, young animal
Who's number four? Well number four goes to none other than row
Oh nice this to the north star
Really?
It's the sexiest you go row. You hot. You know it mother fuck. Yo girls love row. That's great
40 years old at this point
Conquer me row since the 60s right?
His horsemen
His horse is number five. Yeah
Number five through 10
Browse big horse. It's a really big horse. I wish it was Jackie pretty horse. Yeah, maybe
Ridiculous
I want to see the vote chart and see that dio received like something absurd like 40 of all votes. Yeah
Yeah, right like he's at number one and number two is like
Super far down at the chart is two percent. Everyone fights over that two percent and they're like, what are you serious?
Come on
If you want to tell us how hot dio is or his horse or his horse. I mean, I mean, I mean dio's uh
No, you're good
dio's
Steamroller he's got a bird. It's okay. It's okay. He's got a roller. Come on. All these dio jokes are ridiculous
Yeah
Got it got it done. Good job
Super best friendcast at gmail.com. That's super best friendcast at gmail.com and uh, it might sound a little something
That was
Wolf
Uh flea wants to know uh, if there's illa, okay
Backstory required. I really liked you. Oh, wow
They're doing it wrong cast a couple weeks ago. Well, he uh started reading six kill six billion demons and uh, he described it
as uh having sagal like world building and I immediately opened another tab
Regret not having not started it sooner and goes on to how it's going on
She loves it. Was there ever a singular point that someone made about a thing that was the point that convinced you to go try it out
Oh, yeah, definitely, but
It's you can that comes to mind. I read the kataku article on
The the big spoiler of the first season of sword art and that got me to watch sword art
Like the the the thing you believe, you know the thing that happens at the end of the first yeah, absolutely
Like I actually think that's a really cool gimmick
For your story. Yeah, it's a good enough hook to and I was like, okay, I'll check this out
I there definitely is uh
I I always had an interest and like like because I've bought almost every souls game
I just don't start them
But I think it was when I first heard like yeah kuthulu. Shit. Yeah
Yeah, when blood born came out I was always gonna buy blood born
But that made me go one or week two it started to come out
It's like by the way, uh, the second half of this game is
Fucking love crap to shit. Yeah, but that's that's a soft example. I know better. I imagine for a lot of people
It's the when people hear that like the new doom like starts with the phrase rip and tear
It's literally first like that's gonna get people and the I've seen people
Diving in when they see the animated gif of doom guy fist bumping his action figure
Yeah, uh hearing about like where the love love series gets to by the end
And how it starts as like a high school whatever thing and then it ends up with like
Intergalactic mech warfare
I was kind of like that kind of got me super interested in that because apparently I mean also apparently the quality is through the roof
So i'm really keen to I think
Anytime I any time I hear about a comic and they someone just says the name of the person writing it and they say like brian k
Vaughn or mark millar. I'm like, yeah, I'm there. I don't care what it was. I'm there
Brian k. Vaughn is definitely like part of that no matter what does it say platinum games on the side of the thing? I'm there
Yeah
Um, all right. We got one coming in from uh, akuta bar. Hey, what's up?
Uh, uh akuta bar wants to know hey, hey, you're doing super best best super best friends
I do it here from 2013 to call you all idiots is requested nice
You estimated that world of warcraft would go free to play between six months to three years after podcast number three
Wow, oh, I figured that was what this was going on fantastic
cancellation of titan and the upcoming release of overwatch and blizzard's new expansion release cycle care to re-up
Yeah, well, it's not going free to play anytime soon with the movie coming out in in hindsight that that that idea of wow's longevity
It's like I think it's become very clear now that wow is going to stick around for like another 10 years
I I still stand by that. I stood that and said that in 2013. I don't think I was wrong to say that then
It looked like it might have done that expansions then was it pandara that was the recent one
It was the pandas. Yeah, I I I feel like I would have said the same thing if I could have done this
It seemed like oh, they're scraping the barrel now. Yeah, and then Draenor came out and it's like oh, they scraped the barrel
Well, and now the movie's coming out and that's going to inject a huge amount of and legions coming out
It's like they found a new barrel to scrape and it like
There's definitely the air of like they've run out of shit and they run out of ideas
And the game is not what it used to like like for people playing it. It's not what it used to be. Yeah, and
But you mean it's not going to check a date on something even if even if it was to be said that it's dying right now
It is going to take a long
long fucking time to even look dead
Little like ever quest one is still active
Yep, so so we're congrats on calling our shit out. There needs to be more emails like this
because we don't remember also also
Hearthstone wasn't out. Yeah at the time. Yeah, and that makes a huge difference
How do I put this it was that that was an era in which all the mmo's were dying
Right, like they were just left and right this mmo this mmo
And I remember in the back of my head thinking at the time like oh the mmo's are just gonna go like all of these mmo's are
Just gonna go away and it appears that there's two kinds of mmo's
There's the mmo that will in fact die two years after it comes out and be fucking dead forever
And there's the other kind the one that refuses to die ever
You mean just world of warcraft and ever quests
And I'm sure there's one other that's still active. I think ff 11 is still currently active
You can classify category one as korean mmo
Um, yeah, no if I had to say now. No, I don't think it's going free to play anytime soon
But I I would have said the same thing if I could change my answer
We can't no, but like even if I could I would have said I would have said back in 2013
I would never have imagined that I would have all these birds
There you go
Uh, we got one coming in from jimmy instinct. You are average worst enemy cast
I don't think I've ever heard you mentioned it yet
But how do you feel about ki season 3's music being done by cell dweller an atlas plug?
Um, I haven't actually had a good listen to it. So I don't know
I think that any loss of mick gordon on a project is a tragic tragic loss
however
Cell dweller has done a bang up fucking job with what we've heard of them so far on the two new character themes
and ever since uh
beating case zero
And hearing uh, the best it's gonna get from when you fight the boss of that
I've been like, okay. Yeah, these guys are awesome. So I I'm totally I have faith in their ability to carry
I know very little about killer instinct
But what I can say is that mick gordon's presence on doom sure is fucking appreciated
He also did all the music on wolfensteins. Yeah, because he's killing it. He's killing it
I I wholeheartedly will say that none of their themes are as good as any of mick gordon's
None of the none of the tracks of season three the new ones are as good as anything in the previous two seasons that being said
they're still it's still great music
and what really kind of like
Makes sure is that when they release the album of season three their tracks cut into more of a
manageable four to five minute thing real song might make them quite better because
Right now you can only listen to the extrapolated music from the game where people like sniffing apart themselves
Yeah, sniffing apart themselves stop attacking now do a combo now wait. Those those those themes from uh, alice plug and sulldweller
When they're just they're raw. They don't sound nearly as good. They sound very like one beat and then
Stuff overlaid on it. And I thought I always found mick gordon stuff to be very very
Full and and and rich and they're easy to listen even in that form
But when they release the album their themes might actually shine more
So my opinion might change but the music's still like great in k i season three
It's just not quite as good as the stuff in k i season one
I think you said it woolly and I might have been mad who said it but uh two tracks, right?
So only mira and tusk no no everyone everyone has a theme has everyone gotten a theme so far
No, because no for sure. But I mean I was gonna ask did were rash and the arbiter by someone else because someone someone
No, no, they're by the tracks. Okay. Oh, okay. I thought I thought they just borrowed you have to you have to fight them
I see in in the theme, but since they don't have their own stage. It's easy to forget that
Yeah, okay, but arbiter has his own theme
It's actually the strongest theme because alice plug did a bunch of music for previous halo games, right?
So he gets a good and that just works
That's perfect. Yeah, it's actually my favorite part of halo. It's really good
So kimmu's theme is really catchy and I love it
Uh, like for example mira's music is just it sounds like almost it could be anybody's
It's just kind of it sounds like it could be sabre wills, but she's a vampire
So what other organs are you supposed to use so?
You know, hopefully they nail gargosses theme because gargosses is the dumbest but rock guitar ever
From k.i.c. from k.i.2
So I really want to listen to that
On the testing floor shredding out to that
I actually had no idea
Sorry, I actually had no idea mc gordon was gone. He moved on. I had no idea
You have to follow his twitter to know really and watch those trailers. That dude does work
He's great. Yeah, I I listen to the the first two seasons music all the time. They're fucking fantastic
My girlfriend too. She she listens to it all the time. It's my big favorite
Evening guys says zeal. Uh, I've noticed we'll eat
I've never heard you mention re really as a game you've played
I'm curious. Have you played the series and by extension survival horror games in general?
Do you not like them? You're getting pretty riled up by pt that time. Y'all played it
I believe you've only played four and five to completion
And you know really I don't have to go back because the the umbrella chronicles
Truly encapsulate. Yeah, what's the true vision the best everything there is about the resident evil story line
It fixes them and so by completing those with matt. I I don't really see the need to go back
There's no need really. You're not missing anything about you'll just be missing like outbreak and stuff. Those are k games
Yeah, yeah, it's okay. Um, it all joking aside
Code Veronica in umbrella chronicles is better than code Veronica
Hmm
I uh, I disagree, but I'm not gonna fight you. So survival what I mean is that
Boiling code Veronica down to a thrill ride
Is better than code Veronica and I like code for on us. Good guys has got some stuff. Yeah
Survival horror is not usually my digs. Um, I think
Though that like the occasional times that I jump in I have enjoyed them like when I played shattered memories or I have
Dead spaces
I only the only the wee one I have
You should really play the first I have a strong feeling that all of the mechanical jankiness that matt and I miss from those games
Is gonna like turn you the fuck off
Like the camera the controls the way the save games
But but ultimately it's like and you know and like and like I had fun with like parasite even that stuff
But it's not really survival horror per se
In the end I I kind of you know, I enjoyed the shooter stuff when it started going that way
But I don't really but woolly. Did you do you like re4 and re5? Yeah, I do
Then you should really play that first and second dead space games. Yeah, I'd say they are they are
Fantastic and they're that I'd say just the second one
No, the first one's great too. Yeah, it's no it's it adds a lot to the second one too if you play the first one
Yeah, because of the
But that's pretty much it I'm willing to jump in when that level amazing when it's a really solid whole fucking game
Awesome game regardless, but uh, usually usually survival horror. I'm kind of it's like, yeah, I'm not really that attracted to it. That's all
um
Zombie ghosts get out. Hey, uh, what okay, so yeah, shame wants to know if
Yeah, favorite fake cliffhangers for example at the end of the Namek saga
It clearly shows Goku blowing up with Namek, but a few episodes later. He didn't explode at all
Do you have any ideas of this existing in other shows that you can think of it's it's hard to say exactly what it is
And I know it. I know like they show something but it's not and then you come back from commercial break
It's not the actual footage they use. Yeah, we've referenced it a million times, but it does qualify as bishop
Yes assassin and then he shoots his gun
Yeah, and it goes
And it goes right into your face as the viewer then it fades out then it fades back in and goes the
For the future and then he shoots and then a character just dodges out of the way
That's the best way. That's my favorite. That's the best way. Yeah the top of my head. I got nothing
There's probably still lie. It's still lie. Usually during all his commercial breaks. Yeah
I hate that and it happens all the time all the assassins because kids are too dumb to complain
I was dumb and I complained
I complained loudest of all and I was the smallest and dumbest. It's true
Not on fire net
Says not on fire yet says
Deremphatically top-notch chums. What the fuck is an edgelord? Where does this come from? What does it mean?
This isn't a term we made up. Yeah
This is one of those things where I assume that if we have a visual to accompany it like we're playing a game
And we say an edgelord. It's very simple to decode what we're saying
But if we say on the podcast and we have no context
It sounds like all the guys we like if you if you had a character a very sick one
A death knight
Right like some type of reaper and that character's name was bane blade and his background was the
I I drink the rave and i drink the souls of the blood of my enemies because my family is
Arcade covered. Yeah, who who is the king of the edgelords? Everyone take a guess in video games
Sounds like you have a definitive answer. I I think I have one
The the monkeys from apescape
Uh hatred man
Oh, yeah, hatred man
Death from uh darksiders. It's prince of persia war
Smoldering raven because that was a turnaround from what he used to be. I smolder with generic rage and he had literal
Edges on his body. Yeah. Yeah. At least Dante was a new Dante like that prince was the same prince. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
I want to tell a small story as a result of that guy's username not on fire yet
Um my fire alarm went off in my building the other day and my fire alarm is so goddamn loud that you can hear it for five blocks
I'm not even joking
Great and it continues my hatred of fire alarms being useless. Do you know what set off the fire alarm in my building edgelord?
Idiots idiot kids playing with fire extinguishers in the basement
Yep, so anti fire
Set off the fire alarm at three in the morning and I had to fucking stand outside in the cold
That's a weird aside radical kill all fire alarms. It seems like the problem there is the kids
Who you would want to kill? Yeah. Have you ever died in a fire?
Yes
Well, of course, how many how many false alarms of fire alarms have you been in most canadians die in a fire three times per year
Oh, yeah, they're worthless. They're useless. They're really not but
Edo even deal all of them wants to know why we've never made a video for decidia
Because it's weird and hard to record. Yeah, so it's really easy to record actually
Oh, why would would you just plug a psp into a tv or a capture card? Do you have the cable? Yeah, but it was old
By the time you really started doing yeah, exactly my desire to do it is less than whatever you just described
And I also don't want to do it, but if decidia arcade gets ported like
I'll do that. I'll talk about that. They said they're doing a ps4
I really hope they do like a the big story mode and the the all the the calendar shits
And I never touched any of them as long as racist waka or a hype taran. He's not gonna be jacked is gonna be in it though
He's always in it. He's always in it. I'm down. Also like the rams of bill is gonna return
It's the prettiest girl in the land also like the format's weird because like there's like to do verses
We'd have to have two psps and stuff and you wouldn't get the best look at the hopefully they they have one v one
Modes that would be appreciated. Yeah in uh in the ps4 one
Yeah, when it was announced I got bummed when it wasn't just side view normal fighter
But well, it can't be the whole system's based on also. I don't dig it that much at all
Like I I really don't like the first one a lot. Do a decim didn't do it for me
Yeah, I played like seven hours or something do a decim didn't do it for me because it was called do a decim
That's true
To anyone who's looking to play the do a say do a decim or to city of games
Do not buy the original game. Yeah only buy do a decim
Because the original game is in do a decim. I didn't know the actual thing
You should do is if you want to play one of them buy do a decim prologous, which is the little you remember that two
Yeah, it's like five bucks or whatever. It's two dollars and it goes before do a decim and that'll tell you if you like it
Do you hate it?
Don't touch the rest because that's what you're getting. Do you not hate it? You get eris as a side character
Are these all star battles canon?
No, yes, super dream matches. Are they they are super canon
But they forget everything. Yes, so it doesn't matter what they can
The the the story of decidia one goes to explain the nature of garland's time warp in final fantasy one
Oh, that's true. The garland thing is super relevant. You're right. Super canon. I remember reading about that
Castlevania judgment is canon in the same way where it doesn't
Stomp over anything and every no, but I
I actually think that one's not I think I think Pat's right
Decidious storyline
Actually shows off like the large-scale storyline of fun fantasy between chaos and order and
Shin Ryu the dragon the cosmic dragon
That's at the actual god of final fantasy at the end of Castlevania judgment
Everyone is wandering because they forgot
Yeah, so there you go. No, they're not wandering because they're all pulled from that that being said it's super stupid
That the city is canon, but it totally well. It's like it's like uh persona. What should my being canon the 3ds one
God, how do I forget the name? Uh, cute. Thank you
Tom wants to know if you were transformer is what vehicle animal or objects that you be?
No matter what I say people are gonna draw me as a toilet or a gun or gun gun toilet gun toilet shoots your asshole
Oh
What an ambush fuzor pat the fuzor like like you're gonna go take a poop
And then a gun snakes out from the bottom of the bowl and shoots you in your butt
But when you're in a transformed state, do you look like you're like if you turn into like an animal
Do you look like a beast wars thing? You don't look quite right like are you boxy or pick a generation?
Okay, and go pick anything. I would be Kanye West. Yeah, dude
You can do anything and get away with all that power
All that power and you just turn back and it's fine and you're not him anymore
Not bad. Not bad. You could do anything
You could get in anywhere except water your lawn except well. Yeah, but I could just transform back for that. Yeah
I'd transform. I'd just transform into a transformer that already exists. Yeah, which is superion and then pin everything on them
No, why why?
Why would I want to turn to superion because his name is superion and it's the greatest name ever
Um
I guess I I don't know. I'd be a planet like ego. Yeah, I like feel like you're not thinking that through
I feel like oh, he wants to be on the crown. I want to feel like being a crown
I want to be in a crown. I feel like you're not thinking of how fucking boring it would be to be a plan
But also like what as you watch the gravities fight and tear earth apart or not even unicorn but primus
Nothing, so what are you gonna do tomorrow? Just hang out in orbit
Yeah, why not turn into a spaceship? That sounds like it sucks. Will you be astrotrain?
That'd be a train. That's a yeah
See that that always bugs me right when people is like, well, if you could have one thing it's like, wow
I'm super giant and huge. It's like, but what about your fucking daily life?
I'm there's people living on me. I'm a planet. It's fun, but that sucks
That's like being an even bigger toilet. Don't you want to be like
The day on fetish watch woolly exposed as planet kin. Yeah, I can be the the peter mullin you to that little world
That'll be fine. That sucks. There's no
Are you curious as to what is inside me?
Woolly bellows down on the planet earth
Why don't you all climb inside me and build a civilization this week on fetish watch planet kin vor
Is it real realer than you think it's here it is
Generally don't type that into anything
Kanye west with the all spark. What yeah, if you could turn into like the power of the power
That's generally useful
So even if you pick the most basic thing like like the transformers already do you get anywhere?
Really, you know those just giant train because then you're fucked up
You know, you know, you know those or boat, but you know, you know those huge, uh, state line cutting machines. Yeah
There we go
That's me pretty cool. I'm a state. I'm a state line cutter. That's a that's a cool thing
I wonder what those are called. Like I think they're called state line. They're called monstrosities of science
That's that's me
done
We got what coming in
How many of those exist in the world? How many do you really need? I'm gonna say one for every one for every four states
Yeah, because like right you make it run for a year
But like it only needs so many right
Fully expecting for it to come back on us. Those machines are not real
I saw photos from multiple angles. No, those are photos from the Avatar shop. No, no, no, no
I'm fully comfortable with that
I saw those photos from so many angles to make sure because I couldn't believe how huge
Because the scale is impossible. It was so huge
Avatar photos like
I like that we've all seen it and it's stupidest biggest machine ever
It's probably someone's stand real. It can't be real. It's gotta be real useless to build. Why would you build it?
It's a stand. I mean, it's a state line. You don't need to dig a trench. You don't need a physical line
anyway
It's fine. Well, he made it out. That's what postal codes are for is paint not good enough
How do you know why oming is boring? You need to see the state lines of that boring
What lands shape around it say that yeah
Saskatchewan needs to know what ain't worth shit because it's got straight lines around it. Oh, I think they know
I think they know
Uh, is that it for emails? Uh, I could keep going but let's stop
I have a very quick piece of news to say that just came out
A firgus irk heart
Just was at some show some developer thing and when some guy was like, hey, what's up with pillars of eternity too
He's like, well, it exists
We're working on it. We're gonna go to Kickstarter for it. Those guys made a really useful business card holder
Yeah, yeah, you don't care about the game, but you like their business card holder. That's it holds business cards. Nice
Hey, what's coming up guys?
Uh pun the disciplinarian has uh finished. I believe today for most listeners. Good for him
That's that's good that the disciplinarian disciplined everybody. Oh, then there's fun stuff after him. Is that this week? That that is actually
tomorrow
Me and uh and uh one leon
Completed an LP already. All right
So one of those ones where you play it for a little and you're like, this is gonna be
That was a weird moment because I went to schedule a dark souls episode
There was an entire LP completed just sitting and you're like, what is this game?
It's like I have to move this over now. Have we done this before? Has there ever been an LP where we started and finished before the whole
Thing even aired? Uh minecraft. That's true. Yeah
But to be fair, well this it's funny. We recorded the first half
I think a full three months before the second half like two months two months. Okay, I think so
But there is a whatever the next from software LP we do will fit that fucking profile
It's uh, it's called chasing dead
It got released on steam and we you and it got updated and tons of like little improvements on steam
But we're playing what we're playing the true vision where I will safely say this without
Doubt this is the most bugs per minute of any game that has been played on the channel. Yeah, without a doubt
The most have you watched reboot?
Yes, not all of it, but
But did reboot have three different completely different types of crashes?
See here's the thing. Fuck reboot. I asked him about afro samurai. Yeah, and he still said it's
Afro that's
Whoo, because it runs the gamut of tiny little innocuous bugs. We completed half a samurai before it went out. Yeah
Yeah, it stands as a mark against time
Uh, so as far as I know everything else is continuing so uh dark souls is obviously going to continue every week day
This week marks the start of the huge quest era of dark souls. Look forward to it. It didn't start yet
Uh didn't start yet. It'll start tomorrow on vessel and we'll start friday on uh, everybody else
And uh, hopefully we can get that recording session on wednesday before that uh before that friday episode goes
I think that shouldn't be a problem
Day of sex will continue. Uh, sorry. It's been so sparse. We've just been all over the place with this stuff
Am I forgetting anything? Well, I like I said everything is pretty much everything. Yeah, all right. Yeah, um, there will be a a
Fisticuffs this week. It's a rollicking. Good time. It's a good time. It's something. It's something
If you're a fan a fisticuffs you say if you're a fan
Yes, yeah, it's a fisticuffs. It's a fisticuffs. Will you set it here if you're if you're a fan of
Wu-Tang hip-hop. Yeah, it's not it's I thought you were just gonna say like Shaolin style martial arts
It's not a I didn't think you'd get so on the nose with it
If you're a fan of Wu-Tang in Shaolin style martial arts, then you should check this thing out together
It's uh, whoo. It's what it's not a scrub lords. That's for sure. No, no, actually
It's a fisticuffs for real
Uh, what are we looking forward to? Well, okay. So this is cheating because it'll like we'll have a podcast in between now and then
But overwatch. Yep. That's true. I think doom. Wait, is it really coming out 24 this overwatch?
They'll come out on next tuesday 24th. Okay. Well, yeah, so we're gonna have to another one. So that's that is cheating
um, I
I'm going to check out this movie that looks really cool and
Uh, I completely missed it when it was announced, but it's called high rise
And this is a real I never saw her for Henry. It's really good. You should go see it. Neither. God damn it guys
Go see it right now all of you. Yeah
This movie about basically like a civilization that seems to be self-sufficient inside of this high rise building and it's with tom hiddleston
That's neat and it's very and it's filmed in like a 70s pulp style
And really trippy and cool. So I'll have a full book of pearl next week
I'm gonna I'm gonna blast through like I think I have only two levels left
Chapters rather in doom. So I really are there two doom guys per chapter
Per level two doom guys. Yeah, I mean the figures. Yeah
I feel like there's even more. I feel like there's been three
No, well so far I'm at seven and there's only been two per chapter
Okay, then maybe that is but I I'm like really close to finishing like as soon as I get home
I'm probably gonna try to finish it and uh after that I want to go back to uncharted and possibly star fox
If I can squeeze it in so
I'm really sorry. I finally watched that star fox uh short by the nintendo and oh the nintendo one wasn't super impressed
Who cares like it's it's solid, but it doesn't go anywhere. You know, it's just like a
Yeah, and I hate and I hate the low frame rate 3d
Character animation that it's like the berserk trailer. It's really annoying. You should go watch the kid Icarus ones
They don't have that
Uh, no, no, I just mean in general to finish the set. You should watch the kid Icarus ones. Yeah, they're not they're not particularly better
But hey, uh, I'm really excited to finish uncharted 4 and hopefully rage I get if I can get far enough in that
That's long. So yeah, I'm actually gonna play doom. I'm gonna play a lot of doom. Yeah, there you go
and obviously a cotor and
And woolly I just saw a little piece of news that is not video game related perhaps
But it'll make you chuckle and it's a good warning for everyone
All right, microsoft has begun to auto schedule your pc. Oh, yeah windows 10. Oh, yeah
It's no longer a suggestion. It's no longer hit any button on this screen and it'll do it
It's now just adding it to your updates
It's funny because there is also the news that said there was messages
We're gonna go away after the cutoff date, but it just seems to be this
I don't know with microsoft is gonna force people or not no one knows
They don't know
And it's just like who knows holy shit. Can you let people do what they want with their coffee?
No, I want them to come out and oppress oppress statement tomorrow with the police and everything and they're like
Windows 10 is a malicious AI
That would be awesome
What a swerve
I paid fucking I've paid for my windows 8. I'm using it. I'm fine. Leave me alone
If you turn off auto update and you hit x on the updates
It can't do anything
See, but the problem is no is the new copies, especially if you have like a laptop or
Any kind of a netbook type thing that comes with a pre-installed. Oh like you have that windows 8 tablet thing, right?
It's not you it's forced you have to have the updates. So once again, like, you know, it's not even that bad
So
Sure, but I don't I don't I don't want to do unless upgrade everything. No, sorry. Sorry. Just to be clear
You should be allowed to not and tell and tell it to shut up. I just mean like it's it's funny how we're complaining about something
And it's actually I use windows 10 on my on my new pc and it's fantastic
Yeah, but on my laptop and my other pc. I don't want to do an upgraded install. That's what I just said
Clean installs
Right. I don't want it to just do it. Whatever. Yeah
So to anyone who's in this problem and is fighting their prompts or whatever. I'm going to recommend it again
It's the gwx
Control panel. Yeah, and it's a it's an a tray app that is going to just delete all that shit and block
windows update from
doing that
Um, I mean it's so I can't vouch for its safety
So I think it's pretty safe
But you know, but in the end like your computer melts down because of it's not my fault a mandatory update comes out
And it's some horrible shit like we just saw with dark souls not working and it forces your shit to take it
It's really annoying when you don't have the choice windows has gotten a lot better like in the early days of windows 10
There would be like the wrong video car drivers would get forced out and it's like fuck off
But that doesn't seem to happen. Yeah ones that were like a few weeks out of date. Yeah, that doesn't seem to happen anymore
It appears that nvd and ati like we're like, hey, hey, hey, let's fix this. Come on. Come on. Don't hey
But uh, yeah, so uh
And uh, a special shout out to the amazing amazing
Music that you guys are going to be listening to in a few seconds in a few seconds. Yeah
Greater you are a goddamn. What yeah
Creation of an organic bit indeed woolly indeed
Skeleton
Can I not get in it
I actually never watched skeleton warrior
Stop trying to front the skeleton bow
Uh
Fucking mother fuckers
You know what the ball doesn't mean you don't like
I
I love an organic base just just how it gets created
