Castle Super Beast - SBFC 167: ! PC CURSED !

Episode Date: October 18, 2016

 Big boys moved into a big office to do big things. You can watch us record the podcast live on twitch.tv/superbestfriendsplay

RUN! Oh! Ayyy! Heyy! Heyyyy! What's up people? Man I'm short, god damn. How's it going?

I'm sitting on the box. I gotta fix this chair. You got to make the chair. You gotta make the chair. No. No. We should seal it shut so he can never make it. Why are you...

Wait, why do you have to make a chair? Why do I have to make a chair? Why? Oh, we're not in Willy's house anymore. No, we're not. No, no. Huh? What's going on?

Hey. You coming live from parts unknown? What's happening? Secret location. Yeah. Secret location. Are we just going to call it secret location? I don't know.

I mean isn't it obvious at this point? The HQ. Just call it the HQ. The X-Files base. The X-Files base? X-Files base? X-Files base? X-Files base.

Whatever you want to... X-Files base. We're here. What about X-Base? That's awful. That's great. Eh? Eh?

I'm still partial. Oh, no. Being able to mug, like really mug for it now, that's going to be like a distraction. I was like, what's this under the table? That's my foot. It's your fucking dick. God damn it. All right.

All right. We can play footsies. We can all play footsies. You can't tell, but my legs are really short. They're short legs. This carpet's very shaggy, riffish. I actually like it. It likely has sound-canceling properties.

Touching it with my feet gives me a special feeling. Not a lot of sound goes straight into the ground, though. Oh, fuck. You're always barefoot. You gave up on the barefoot. It's too cold. It was cold and rainy, and I was like, yeah. It's almost as if the season's changed telling you that you should stop doing this.

Almost. Almost. Oh, fuck. I got a fr- Like three or four weeks after everyone else already did it. I got a frost splinter in that part in between your pinky and your index toe, and it's soft. That sounds terrible. A little melt.

Frost splinters. All right. All right. So we can explain this bullshit. Sounds like a Mega Man weapon. Welcome to the Super Best Friendcast, where something in the points don't matter. Live. Super Best Friendcast.

Live. All right. Well, you're the mastermind behind this brand, child. Are we rebranding? Is there actually a rebrand? No, no. Oh, I know. I know.

Okay. So is the podcast name changing? No. No. Because the podcast is still the Super Best Friendcast. Yes. The livestream that's going out right now, unless you're listening to the audio version, is Super Best Friendcast.

Live. Well, it'd be cool if I go like this. Could you make it so that my hand pops out of the top of your camera? I can make anything happen, but the point is that this is still an audio podcast. You can make anything happen. As an audio podcast. You can make anything happen. Don't want anything.

Yeah. I love how we all talked about this. That is our first and only strike, and we are no longer allowed to do anything involving the TV. We all talked about this. That's a good idea. Well, they said, don't use the TV. Don't use hands.

It's still an audio podcast. First and foremost, yeah. Within 10 seconds, I'm going like, I'm mugging for the camera like an asshole, and Matt's like, what if I do this with my, like, we're asshole, anyway. But the point remains that basically this is going to be the same friendcast it always has been. It's going up the exact same way. Just shittier.

Right? The exact, well, no, if you can fucking keep your shit together. It should be the same. It should not be super distracted by visual things and sparklies. People are going to see when they check Twitter on the stream. They are going to see. As an aside, all of our mods are super pissed because apparently none of them were told about them.

That's great. Yeah. So you're going to do Chiay Banna? Yeah. Try to guess who's the most angry of all. Hey, well, this is going to be the trickiest dance to dance when it comes to streaming because the other thing too that you can't do in a podcast is like really check, like check things and whatnot.

You can sort of, but don't need to have a podcast going at all times, you know, there's no real downtime. Of course. So Willie, are you able to demonstrate on the fly for our viewers what's going to happen in case I start talking about Final Fantasy 14? Well, it's quite simple. All right. Well, nothing.

It's an audio podcast. Oh, yes. Yeah. But I mean, this is our second strike. Yeah. Yeah. It's the inaugural one. It's fine.

It's the inaugural one. If Pat has things to say about Final Fantasy 14. Oh, so Matt's, oh no, don't check your phone. Oh, no, don't check your phone. Oh, no. Oh, hey guys. Hey, I got to get this chair up. I'm very short.

That's bad. But oh, yeah. So this in no way replaces the podcast. Absolutely. And you'll continue to be able to acquire the podcast with your regular haunts. Yes. Yeah. Leisure even.

Yeah. No, the idea being that if you are continuing to listen on iTunes or on our website or on the various places that it's available, it's still there. And that's all fine and dandy. And it will be forever. If you happen to be on Twitch at 1pm, hopefully around 1pm. Around 1pm on Mondays, you can catch us recording it live. Yep.

And you can see the disaster unfold that. When does the podcast officially come out? The podcast? Good. Excellent question, Pat. I was hoping you'd get that. Good, great. M-m-m-m-m.

Yeah. La-la-la-la-maxima. Yeah. Don't get it twisted. Fantastic question. The podcast comes out as usual Tuesdays at noon. But Woolly, it sometimes comes out earlier. Does it?

That means that that earlier time is the time it comes out? No. That means that if you get it earlier than Tuesday at noon, you're a lucky duck. Lucky? Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. All right.

So. Glad we cleared that up. To stop complaining. Hey, it's fine. Well, it's the guy who it's 8pm on a Monday. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. I need the podcast.

I'm going to my night shift. It's like, bro. Bro. Sorry, but. It's a Tuesday podcast. It's on the draw and quick on the thing with the mixing and shit is a blessing. And it's still going to, it's still going to go up, you know, for the early birds if they're around and whatnot.

But again, if you're there, you catch it recorded live and you can, you can see the, the diarrhea come out of the hole. The, the only, the only, and if I'm not mistaken, and you'll be able to catch them on the archive as well. Yes. You'll be able to catch them on the Twitch archive. Now the Twitch archive, we want to be something that is actually an incentive for people to sub.

It's something that's nice for people to sub and they'll get something out of it. So far we've kind of had people subbing and they got the cool emotes. You get the UNO. Yeah. And that's it. I added five more last night. That's it. Are they all, what are they?

Are they UNO based? There's new, there's five new emotes. There's, there's a SBFP Liam. There's Baz. There's Rage. There's Pat. Well, I have a question. The other night, somebody sent me a photo and all it was was like a picture of UNO on

our stream and said, here's your UNO bucket as well. What is, what was that? You left a little early. We had to improvise an ending to our, our view of the stream. Oh, the, the, oh, it didn't work. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, people are enjoying the new, the new muster, but basically that's pretty much

all you really got. And like, so, you know, it's, if there's something else that people get out of subbing, it would be nice. And in this case, it would be the archives of this live friendcast. Yes. Of course. Yeah. By doing that and by having the Twitch be on a sub only archives, the, anything that's

not this, that's like a regular stream will automatically go to YouTube. Yeah. For sure. Well, we have, we have to put it up there. So that everyone can catch it. It's good. But by default, we should be moving it on our own. Yeah.

Yeah. But so the, so the only thing that's going to be like, there, there for this, for the subs is, is this video exactly. So that, that's basically it. Like you're not going to be missing out on anything that is not, that is a regular stream. And of course the podcast will, you know, go up as always, usual in audio format and such. So that's what's, be polite.

Don't spoil the podcast. People are going to spoil the podcast. Try and be polite. Yeah. People that see it at midnight, spoil it. Just don't go into podcast threads you haven't already listened to. You know, the, the, well, the thing is that sometimes it takes me a minute to, to come up with the name for the podcast and like, I feel like the chat's going to have one ready

and waiting. Oh yeah. And you're like, no, I totally thought of that one myself. That was mine. That was my good idea. You made this. I made this. I made this.

I made this. It was me. Yeah. All right. And so without further ado, again, we, we will explain this once and then never again because we're going into a regular podcast. If you, if you need a friend to explain this to two years from now, just send them to this episode and behold that I have any here at all in the past.

You okay? Yeah. I'm on camera. It's weird. Seem off your game. I'm a little off my game today. I think, I think it's going to take some getting used to. No, there's a lot of, there's a lot of game to not be on.

Yeah. Like, yeah. Okay. That could replace their funnier than they are. We have a lot of game to not be on because I feel like we all require so much because I feel like three of us walked in here, uh, going like, man, today's just going real shit. Yeah.

I did that. And then Liam walked in fine. Yeah. Everything was a okay for me. And then he sat on the chair that he brought from home and it fell apart, so like it crumbled under. I couldn't believe it. Yeah.

Like, seriously? Where's your buddy? It's in the trash room. The trash room. Yeah. It's the trash room. No, it's so, you know, like it's exactly like you just, you entered the aura of our shit day and then your day just fell apart as well.

I would love it if my chair all I did was fall apart today. Absolutely. Like, as long as your chair doesn't blow a piston of hot gas and metal up your asshole. As long as it doesn't play more of you. Actually, Willie didn't say that that's going to be a feature he's going to be instituting in this podcast where every so often there's a button potato killer queen has already touched your chair asked cushion whose chairs are going to be this time. It's like those 1950s movie theater gimmicks where like a buzzer buzzes your ass or like

a guy comes down. Is that real? Yes. Okay. Who's going to get slimed? The tingler. You can't do that on television. I remember that.

Oh, that's a great goddamn show. What did the red slime mean? I remember, okay. Blood. Water was, if you said water, and I don't know was the green slime. Something was special. I don't remember anything. I don't remember the red slime.

Now, Willie, that show aired like 20 years ago that may be a nightmare you had at some point in between then and now. What does the blue slime mean? Is it Carrie? No. I'm pretty sure it was. It could be a nightmare. There was occasional red slime for a specific occurrence.

Yeah, once a month. There would be, you know, yeah, red slime. So yeah, I guess we can roll it. How did your shitty day start? Oh, yeah. Oh, you start with me. Thanks for asking, Matt. Oh, wow.

The hijack. Do you not want it? I want it. Willie, what the fuck? Where did you hide the fucking podcast number last week? It was there. Where? It was there.

Was it about raccoons at the park? You have to listen to it. No. You got to pay attention. Liam caught it. Yeah. It wasn't about the trash pandas. I didn't catch it, but I had the secret, like, power of not really caring.

Yeah. That counts for a lot, doesn't it? It counts for a lot. I can't be disappointed that way. This week's is going to be pretty obvious though. My secret power. Yeah. I did a lot of garbage this week, so much.

There were so many games released this week. There were a lot. I don't recall any. Can you guys actually think of a week with more games released? Probably like a year prior, like the same type of game. There were more than 30 games released this week, and at least 20 of them were of significant significance. The third week of October, and the second week of November, are historically like fucking

unbelievable train wreck. I can't remember a week. There have been years in which, if I remember correctly, Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed and like seven other games will release on the same day, and it's like, shut up. But it's a launch of a new platform, too. And it had more titles than most new platforms. It was a better launch than the PS4 launch, like fuck. I mean, between buying stuff for myself and buying stuff for the stream and stuff that

I just wanted that wasn't even on the stream, like Dragon Quest Builders. You're talking about the PlayStation VR stuff that we did. I ended up walking away. Yes, I ended up walking away with like 25 games, and I was like, fuck, I can't play all of this. Jesus Christ. Some of them I didn't even really want, like 100 foot robot golf. Yeah.

So into the trash they went to shovel them in there. Most of them were for just for stream purposes that I kind of wanted, but like, eh. I hear that robot golf is like trash. I guess I'll skip to robot golf, dude. Did you play it as well, Matt? I know you did. I played one. I watched you guys play it.

I bought it for myself. Then I played one, not even one hole, like one stroke when I got home, and I was like, nah. So 100 foot robot golf is by No Goblin who made Roundabout before, that limousine driving simulator. Wow. Yeah, yeah. And it fits, right?

It's a mecha anime, like, love letter themed golf game where you play as giant robots and you golf through cities and various places. You golf on the moon, you golf all over the place, and you can like, blow up buildings and shit if they're in the way of your ball. Just push them over. Yeah, exactly. Swing at them with your club. It has this gimmick in the campaign where they've got all these great cut scenes that

they hired some, like, actual artists to work on. They look all right. Right. With corgis and all that stuff. All that goofy shit. Their gimmick is that it's all a fan dub, and like, at the very beginning of the game, you see a little credit for the fan dubbing group, and the voice acting is awful. I don't think the joke pays off.

I do not think the joke pays off at all. I appreciate the niche-ness of that gimmick. No, because that's the exact joke that I feel is targeted towards us that we would really get, but I don't think it pays off either, normally. I have an interesting thing is that I was talking to Austin about 100-foot golf, and he was like, man, that was hilarious. They nailed it. I was laughing my ass off at that dub, and I was like, really?

I totally respect that gag, but like, I feel like it wasn't good. It was so shitty. They didn't lend it. That it didn't lend it. And Cranky was like, yeah, I don't think it landed either. So that's a divisive thing. Liam prepared me for it. Yeah, he told you.

He warned me going in, and I still couldn't believe how much it wasn't working. That's the kind of joke that can lend, but it's a drag to listen to. And it goes on. If they didn't have it going on for such an extended period of time, it might have worked to get the little chaos wars kind of shit going for a bit and then out. Like fan dubs, in some cases, are notorious for terrible writing or construction of their sentences or whatever, just like us. And I think that's part of the problem is I think the script is poorly written.

I think it's genuinely poorly written, and I think they should have improved that. Lots of sentences are really cumbersome, and I just don't think any aspect of the vocal performances really lands. And the voice actors are fine. They're fine. But the gimmick of we're voice acting badly, I didn't like it as much. And then you get to the gameplay. And it's rough.

It does what it sets out to accomplish, and when Willie saw me play it in not VR, it's fine. Like straight up, how is it as a golf game? It's a competent golf game with gimmicks. Aren't there like a billion good golf games? Not as fun as Mario Golf or Hot Shots. Not that many these days. Yeah, no, that's what I mean.

Or Outlaw Golf. There's only one problem I could ever find with Hot Shots, and that's fucking hard. It's super tough. It's tough. But the control scheme works. It's tight. It's not really as good as those games. It's competent.

Is it as good as the Burnout Revenge version of Crash Mode? Yeah, I didn't even play that one. Let's say it's a golf game. I haven't played it. You know, I don't know. And the VR mode feels extremely tacked on. It feels so ridiculously tacked on. When I was watching Willie struggle to play it, it was just not a good time.

The golf commentators are good. They're funny. They are the best part. They have some good jokes. And they're dry as they should be without just being really poorly acted. Like when you blow up a building and they comment on how well it's fine it was full of racists or something, and you're like, yeah, okay, okay, you got me there. They're dry golf commentators.

I can see the parachutes. You know what would make all the anime stuff better, like how they should have nailed it? They have to do over-the-top bad. They have to do Girl Chan in Paradise, where it's like, yeah, this is the bottom. Honestly, like that might have improved it. I think so. I think so. It's very liable.

Another game I played that I think you played as well, Matt, was Thumper. I played that too. And Willie played this. And you played that? I played that at home. Thumper is a rhythm game centered around violence and horror, and cosmic horror. And you slide this bug that I affectionately call the Thumper down this track, I guess, and you...

Is he the Thumper? I don't know. And whenever I start, I'm like, yeah, you ready to get thumped? I'm gonna fucking thump this song. Is she the Thumper? She is the Thumper. She must be the Thumper. I have no idea.

It's the Thumper. It's a beetle. Thumper is the mind-killer, I don't know. I was about to say, fear is the thump-killer. I love it. Thump-killer, yes. Maybe it's the big face. People are talking about Raz again!

So it's a rhythm game, like front to back, but it really eschews a lot of traditional rhythm game things. You're not playing three-minute songs. You're playing 20-minute collections of one-minute levels. The button prompts aren't buttons in your faces or color coded or anything. They're all kind of a little more abstract, where there'll be a big harsh curve that comes up and you've got to grind against it as you take the turn. So ultimately, it boils down to the same thing.

It's just a rhythm game where you press all the prompts, but the theming is really, really strong. It is. And it feels really visceral and intense to play. And it's really, really good on its own. The VR mode really amplifies it a lot. What we discovered is that people can't really watch the VR mode. No.

It doesn't play good when you're watching someone play the VR mode. And by theming, what you really want to say is just ultra-violence. The feeling of violence, because it's too abstract for that. It's aggressive. When you run through the little sticks, they count as kills and you beat the bosses. There's not sharp blade noises. Yeah. The sound effects are all really heavy crashes and like sparks and yeah, it has the feeling

of violence. And that was one of the things he set out to accomplish and I think they totally succeeded. I played rigs a little bit more than what we played on the stream and I still totally stand by it. I think this is the most elaborate, good, full video game that there is in VR right now because it's an entire game. It's not short. It's not small.

I can only think of... It's got a campaign. You can only think of one other game that is that and that's Battlezone. Yeah, exactly. Are those the only two like full, full ass products? Barring like res that was, you know, a port. I would contest Drive Club is. I played it a little bit.

Is it the whole game? It's a different campaign. It has a lot of the features and I played four or five races. I actually have been enjoying that a little bit, probably just because of the novelty a little bit, but it's fun and I would say that's a quote unquote full game as well. But on rigs, it's just fucking superb. It's exactly what I said a few months ago when I played it at PSX Last where it's like it's a shooter with three sticks.

Do you prefer the like deathmatch mode over the main sport mode? I like the scoring mode with the goals. The dunks are really fun. But there's a touchdown mode too where you got to get to their end zone. There's a couple of modes. Can you explain the primary scoring mode? Because I didn't get to see it and I've never actually gotten a hold of it. One of the primary mechanics in rigs is you can divert your rig's power to three different

functions. Turbo, which raises your speed. The attack one that raises your damage output and the healing one that lets you regenerate your health. If you kill three enemies in a row, you get a de facto kill streak that puts your rig in overdrive and you get all three benefits at the same time, fast, strong, and regenerating. So you're really strong, but what you want to do at that point is dunk through the hoop in the middle of the arena.

And then you cash out your overdrive. So you become a flag. Yeah, and you cash it out and you get a point for your team. I like that. That sounds good. Yeah. All the modes are actually really enjoyable in their own ways. I kind of like that one the most because it's the most, I don't know.

They built it around that. It's the rig's feeling where you're like, this is what the sport is. They built it around that, for sure. Yeah, because the team death match, one thing I noticed is if a person gets on a streak with overdrive, it can be hard to pull back the match a little bit because you just get a ton of points from kills and that's challenging to fight back. And the touchdown mode, touchdown mode's really fun. It's all very fair.

It is designed as a sports game, so they all work really well actually. That's my favorite one. Are there different fields? Because I only saw the one that I tried at that demo and it's the same one we played on the stream. I've only played matches on that one. I only played like three matches outside of that. So I'm wondering if there's different levels that are bigger or like different tunnels.

Yeah, different stadiums or whatever. Whatever you call it. It's pretty cool. Yeah. I played Rez a little bit. I said it on the stream and I guess I just want to say it again on the podcast. I think that deserves to be on the list of least underrated games of all time as well. Absolutely.

Alongside Zoe too. Alongside Zone of the Enders. It's not adequately rated. It's not overrated. It's least underrated. If you want to talk about it a little, Woolly, I'll again stand by what I said at PSX, which is that like it feels like Rez was designed for VR. Okay, well Rez, I mean there's already a camera on me.

We don't need to like... Focus, Matt. Push that camera onto Woolly. No, it's too much. Why are you there two angles of Woolly? Now we can view Woolly in 3DR. I thought Woolly was trying to turn the camera around to him. No, I was trying to get it back to Matt actually.

Well, was Woolly done with his week? No. No. I figured he would want to talk about Rez, so I'm like, strike three. Talking about video on the podcast. I wasn't. Oh, okay. All right.

No, fine. I actually... You're at the camera. No, but Rez... Woolly, you want to talk about Rez? I mean, what is there... Well, there's a lot to say. Actually, is there?

Because a lot of people listening have never played Rez. Okay. Because 99% of people have never played Rez. Rez is, as Liam just said, one of the least underrated games of all time. Does that mean it is like on the list of the best of games of all time? Yes, it does. Yes, it does. Yes, absolutely.

How high up that list? It's pretty f***ing... It's top five. It's way... It's in the list of unscorable. Yeah. Where they're all just up there and they're all amazing and you never touch them. Oh, great enough.

Time is like, boy, I sure wish I could be as good as Rez. It is a game that you need to own on every platform every time they re-release it. The only other game I treat that way is Third Strike and Snake Eater. Yep. I think it is for me. I think it is for me. I think it is for me. I think it is for me.

I think it is for me. Are you throwing Are Four in there and like... I mean, Rez is right just below Child of Eden. Rez? Oh, don't... I know, let's not sh** this up. So hey, you know, let us sh** this up. I remember Woolly and Pat coming over at a place and they were like, oh my God, Child

of Eden, let's do it. And they're just like... Yeah, Child of Eden doesn't work good. It's not Rez. It's not Rez. Dude, you didn't see me later on at my house with my own, like, copy. With your f**king dick out. Like, doing it, like, trying, trying to get it up there and...

Yeah. It was just not... No, no, no, no. Gotta get the chopsticks. Gotta get the stilts out, you know? So look. Wow. So Rez...

Rez in VR. It feels like it invalidates all the other versions. Immediately. And it feels like it is the best version without even a doubt. Put that quote on the f**king box. No chopsticks required. Aiming, no frothing demands. Aiming is the easiest it's ever been, but it's the true experience.

I can't overstate that. There is one time that I didn't like the aiming, and that's when you fight the fourth boss. Because you have to turn all the way around or else you will die. Yeah. But then you just grab the stick. Yeah. Well, no, I had a turn to just the camera, so I should switch it to... You have them both on.

I should have them both on. So the second that happens you just go, uh, stick. But I'm euphoric over f**king how crazy awesome that experience was with it, just playing those two levels. And both of you, Pat and Liam, have said, have you seen Area X yet? And I'm like, no, and you guys just made faces at me. So I'm like... I've done it now.

It's something very special. It's very... I did not get there yet, but I know what it is. What you saw... A completely different game. Yeah. It's dude, it's like another res. It's a completely...

It's a sequel. Do you understand what you're doing? Well, you know that thing that you like when a game, you beat the game and then it goes, here's the sequel to that game. Toe Tracker? It's kind of like that. It's that. F**k.

Dude, it is so different from res. But it's the same. But what do you say to the pundits that are like, but this game was way cheaper last generation? I don't care. Shut up. Why is it so expensive now? Yeah.

They made Area X. How long is that area? It's as long as a res... Longer than a regular level, but not as long as the entire game. But it's also highly replayable more than the other levels. Why is res $40 and something that's longer, like until dawn is not expensive? Because VR games are expensive and until dawn is a stupendous value. It's one of those things where like, how do you compare the development budgets?

No, just what I... Well, Thres is way smaller. Yeah. Well, but what I mean, sorry, is like, so like until dawn, Russia Blood, like those guys were working on the game with PSVR for years and that probably got completely written off as a loss. This is probably what until dawn was supposed to be because the original... Partially, at least.

You guys remember until dawn was supposed to be played only with the move controllers in the PS3. Right. Well, and they also, they shift tumble as a move game. Those guys know move back to front, the supermassive. Oh, okay. Yeah. It's still strange to me that they made that whole experience without doing, playing

to their strengths, which was their dialogue and some of their like... Wait a minute. In the PSVR? In the PSVR experience. Not so much the dialogue itself, but the choices you make when you're running from the killer. To be fair, we didn't... Which way?

We saw two levels. Yeah. Don't know. I don't know. Do you know? No, no, no. Actually, I haven't gone back to play it yet, except I've been trying to like finish games.

Yeah. It's... That's... You bought 30-ish games and you're trying to finish them. You blew out your like yearly quota like in one day. I finished some of them. Some of them are like... Some of them go in the never-finished category, like Super Hypercube.

Yeah. Oh, man. Okay. Yeah. When you're ready to get into that. Hypercube's good. Yeah. I wasn't even on my list, but Hypercube's good, man.

Dude. Dude. You know Hypercube has 10 levels? Is it? Yeah. Does it, rather? And yeah. Exactly.

I think you made it to level 2 and it gets... That's better. Shit it. It's crazy. Man. Yeah. That game's really fun. Yeah.

Filfish do it again. Filfish did a really good job on that game. Is Super Hypercube secretly Fez 2? No. Super no. Okay. It's obviously Fez 2. Hypercube's good.

It's like, it's super straightforward, is one game mode. That's it. Just play and play and play and you have this block that advances towards a wall and you have to rotate the block so that it fits through the hole in the wall. Like weltris? View? Yeah. The view of weltris.

Yeah. But you're tilting your head around to be like... And the only way you can see the wall is by moving around your cheek. So it's the true tetris sphere. It's the real tetris sphere. It's a game where your main tool is blocking your progression and you have to move around it. It's fucking dope.

And we still don't even know what all the functions do. I found out. I played far enough to get there. I got to level three. There's a slowdown time or stop time function that you can unlock. The filter. You have to play quite a bit to get to it. It looks amazing when it happens.

It's almost like a Zawarudo. It's Tokiwa Tomare level. Yeah. Really nice presentation. The other one, as we suspected, lets you crash through a wall for free. So it's ten levels but you have two lives. Far as I can see you have... So good fucking luck.

Yeah. One and you die on the second one. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And there's also a cutscene death you can't avoid.

That also counts. Our paint challenge then, right? Yeah. It's really good. Super, super solid game. I polished off Batman Arkham VR. I did all the Riddler challenges and stuff. Oh really?

Yeah. I guess I should... I mean the game is relatively short. Sure. Like you're walking around and you're just like, oh there's one there. Oh there's one there. Oh there's one there. Okay.

Kind of everywhere. Yeah. I guess for those who haven't seen the stream, Batman Arkham VR is like a first person 40 minute to an hour long be the Batman kind of experience. Just pretend you're Batman. Yeah. Exactly. And it starts off really non-assuming.

You're Bruce Wayne, you press the piano, then you throw the batarangs around and shit and you learn how all the buttons work. And I think the moment where it hit me where I was like, okay wait, no this is really cool, is when you descend into the bat cave and you have that moment where you're like, oh wait, right, the bat cave is this massive thing and this feels crazy going down the elevator. Did your knees get a little weird? You get a little vertigo.

Yeah. Everyone... My girlfriend and a friend of mine both played through it and they both got the same thing when they got there. Yeah. When the elevator goes down they were just like, oh wow. Oh shit and you try and brace yourself on nothing. Exactly.

Yeah. So it's quite short. It's very brief and you jump through a few areas and they abbreviate a lot of Arkham things like the combat and stuff and it's more like it's detective-y, you get your hands on bodies and try to find parts and shit. You have something to say? Yeah. It feels like...

Like is that elevator thing you're describing? It feels like there's a couple of tricks that'll always work in VR. And roller coasters right now will always work. Your body immediately goes through. You know, I think I said it quite a few times where I think the best thing you can do in a video game is surprise people and VR is like fresh area to surprise people because Arkham VR has more than its fair share of surprises, especially as we approach the end. It's got that rock-steady craft that you expect from them where when you play their

games, even their quote-unquote traditional games played on a regular peasant monitor, they manage to subvert your expectations regularly. And for anyone who's played Arkham Knight when you meet up with a certain supervillain as you grapple onto a random roof and get terrified by the jump scare, that's the rock-steady touch, where they always just... They have things that surprise you and Arkham VR is like a pretty masterful application of that considering it's their first... I'm going to be honest, it did surprise me in a lot of things, like how some parts of

it seemed really cheap and lazy, specifically just transitioning from one area to the other. That's what actually surprised me to make me think that it wasn't made by rock-steady. Outside of that experience, as you saw in the show, Matt and I were not about to... The inside of the head-spit experience is completely different. The one thing I will say is I wouldn't use the word lazy considering they were probably under really harsh deadlines to make a launch title. Well, what I mean is when you have a full action scene done via audio and I'd rather there have been nothing there and it just had faded out because that was the oddest

experience I've ever seen in a game where you're a Batman, you're an action hero and something is being communicated to you through audio only and you're just watching a black scene. I mean, how did you feel about it when you played it and you guys looked at it? In the headset, it didn't feel like... And the thing like teleporting around to various locations, it feels normal, well, not normal because you're in a fucking VR headset and all that's weird, but it feels fine. You know it's a band-aid and it's perfect for the phone, but...

Because you immediately forget on that, you immediately forget that once you get to the novelty of piecing together like a blown up bomb with your hands and manipulating the pieces in VR with both hands, little gimmicks like that, that are gimmicks, but they're impressive, make me forget about that. When I threw the batarang at the fire extinguisher and the fight scene happens that's completely obscured by smoke, I was like, oh, haha, that's funny, they can't do the fight scene. And then I went back to the scene. When I was watching it with you guys, I had already played through it and you guys were

seeing it for the first time, the whole time through, I don't want to say anything, I don't want to spoil anything or anything, but I couldn't help but be struck with, wow, Matt and Woollie and everyone watching on the stream must think this is shit. They must think this game is fucking trash. We're going to get into it. Because in the headset, it feels great and everyone, like I've, you know, Pat and my girlfriend and my friend who played it, they all thought it was great, so like there is a real contrast for sure.

It looked like some murder soul suspect moments, basically walking around the detective scenes. I kind of didn't really get the sense that like what was happening to Pat was exciting, even though it actually was, and he couldn't hear us because he was so in. A lot of it's like the ambience and stuff, sorry, Matt, go ahead. I just mean like, yeah, I wasn't playing it in VR and I totally, like, I'm sure it feels a lot better when you play it, but like, my actual point was like, how come there wasn't a non-interactive cutscene of Batman just jumping into a thing from first person, punching out a guy that's, again, non-controllable because I know that's...

If anything, they should have done that in third person. Doing that in first person would have been a huge amount of trouble. Yeah, sure. That's what I saw there. I remember Metroid priming it for a little bit, like, you just switch out of body, you third person over to the next balcony and then go back in. No, that might have been a cool thing. That's the thing that made me just go, huh, okay, I guess you could do that.

It might have been a cool thing. It was just that like... I'll definitely say that, like, it reeks of being a launch title. Oh, yeah. A bunch of them do. It's so short. And there's clearly corners cut to hit that. I do agree.

I wish it was a bit more ambitious. See, if this was like, Fight Man, Shove Suri Lum or something, but since it has that Batman name, I kind of expected that little cinema flair. Well, you expect Rock City Batman Arkham, whatever that is, yeah, yeah. If this was made by Warner Brothers Montreal, then I would have been like, that's fine. That's a corner cut. That makes sense. Throw our brothers into the bus, huh?

Yeah, exactly. None of us work there. Yeah. I really enjoyed it. And I think that if you... Wait, did you work there? No. No.

Did you work there? No, I musted. Our brothers went Montrealers. Pat's fellow grocery baggers. Oh, I don't know who that's burning. Is it burning the WB people? If you do get a PSVR or when it comes out on Vibe and Oculus, I recommend trying it if you haven't seen it already, because it is a good roller coaster ride.

But if you've seen, if you've watched it, you probably kind of got the experience. I wish I hadn't seen it. I wish I'd played it myself the first time. I probably would have been more positive on it. Yeah, because I am not super. I'm still going to lend it to you. Yeah, no, no, no. You're still going to play it.

I'm not, I don't feel the desire to, but because you guys are saying it is better in first person, I'll try that because the experience we had afterwards with the playroom showed me as well that sometimes sitting and watching over the shoulder is not at all the same experience we had, say, or similar. You guys missed that, but when later in the stream after you guys had left, me and Woolli kept playing a few games, and one of the ones we popped open was the Playroom VR, which is like Sony's free, Sony Japan's free little fun party game thing. That's similar to that goofy playroom thing they had with the camera.

Same art style and everything. And me and Woolli didn't expect anything of it, and we ended up having a blast, especially with the platformer game that's in there. There's a one level 3D platforming level, or game, pardon, and we initially played it where I had the headset on and I was platforming with the guy and Woolli was playing as a different character on the TV screen. And the impression I got was Woolli was like, oh, this is kind of nothing, this is kind of nothing.

That sucks. And I was like, this is fucking fantastic. And we switched around. And then Woolli was like, okay, wait, no, this is great. This is so fun. It doesn't, it's another thing that like, because Austin said the same thing I was talking to me, he's like, yeah, that thing is actually really, really fun, and it's another thing that doesn't quite come across if you're watching it, but if you're in, if you're locally, if

you're local people and you're friends in the room, then it could be really fun. I feel like we're in this really weird era because of the launch of this new platform that is like a shift in expectation. It reminds me a little bit of the switch to 3D. I don't think it's nearly as important as the switch to 3D, but people who are looking at secondhand sources, which used to be magazine screenshots, and is now streams, can't get it. No, they can't.

It doesn't come across. And it's not the same. Even people sitting right there can't quite get it. And what they need is a combined total knowledge of, I've played enough of these kinds of games. I know how that kind of looks and feels and what that's probably like. And it's shitty because it feels like, when you say that, it feels like, no, I'm trying to cover for it. Like, no, trust me, it's good.

But like... Trust me, it's good. It's really good. Like, video actually really doesn't do any of the game's justice. And I know that what that comes off as, is like, oh, please. But it really doesn't do the justice. It's conversion on trial text, right? The moment you try it is when you get converted.

Or you don't like it. Or you don't. But you can't get it until you've used it. And there's a second thing, and that's something that seems to be the case with nearly every single VR game that exists, to my knowledge, with the possible exception of Riggs, because I have not played it. But you're playing it, and part of the enjoyment is going, man, I can't wait until they make a game like this that's bigger, or longer, or more in depth.

So I was talking to Matt briefly, it's like, could you imagine an Arkham VR thing that was LA Noir, and was like the length of like an eight hour game where you're interrogating people and looking through crime scenes and shit, that would be amazing. Telltale games in general, from a first person perspective, would be really fun. I want Telltale to announce a VR story with its jittery. Oh, yeah. Well, for me, the huge takeaway was after we did the Playroom VR, and we did that one third person adventure level, God damn, does that put the taste in your mouth for like any

other, whether it's Crash Bandicoot, Sonic Mario, anything? Anything. You was not going to be Mario. But any platformer would work amazingly from that point of view. Because it's that feeling of looking over your toy box, controlling your toys. But I remember we were both saying like, we don't even really like Crash, but if that Crash Bandicoot remake comes out and it supports this, we'll buy a day one. I want a full game like that.

Yeah, exactly. The era of missing your jumps. Bring on a knack too. Anything. Anything. The era of missing your jumps because you can't accurately gauge the depth of the platform is gone. Yeah.

Like that too, yeah. The Playroom VR could have been a budget release or something. Title third person action game. I think of some of the space champs and some of the shit I worked on in the days, and anything like that. Those things would be awesome now. Suddenly over, suddenly just changing the viewpoint to there, you get a different feeling out of it.

You actually feel so immersed. All my years of testing the ant bully by Midway will be like finally validated. Yeah, the camera going through that little cave and I was like, you're and you're like kind of bumping your heads into the rocks unless you like crouch under them. Also, the facto genre, the horror is the most improved by this. That's true. Period. Yeah.

Matt nearly shit his ass playing fucking the rush of blood. But that that would have, I would have had that same reaction if I was playing that. I feel like it was a little strong in a dark room and watching the video is really funny. And do you remember how they had to frame it to in that? Yeah, player demo where they had to have the little robot and they had a bigger one that was you that follows around like a little and like, I guess that was just so that you could mentally like, it grounds it where you're yeah, what you're being tethered to, you know.

Yeah. Um, on that note, before you get into a little more, let's take a quick word from our sponsors on the spot. Oh, what do I, what do we got this week? Oh, God. Hey, we're back over here. That's great. That's great.

Gamefly. Gamefly. Play great games. Instantly. No console. No console. Request that. Gamefly streaming.

Require. Okay. That makes more sense. Well, that's, that's, well, that's one of the services. One of the many services. Okay. But, uh, yes. Gamefly is gamefly.com.

You want to head on over to gamefly.com slash friendcast. And as we mentioned in previous weeks, it is the rental service that gets you games stripped, shipped, excuse me, straight to your door. Yeah. These games are stripping, bro. And, you know, Liam, you talked about how expensive you bought so many games this week. So many games this week. That's a crazy thing.

If, if you're a guy, dude, if you're a guy who went out and bought a PSVR, go to Gamefly and rent Arkham VR because it's 40 minutes. It's a much better value than buying it. It's a much better value than the $25 disc. You know, like you, like the amount you spent is crazy. Go nuts. I don't think everyone could be expected to do that, but they do want to experience many games.

Gamefly.com slash friendcast would be great for that. Absolutely. In particular, if you sign up and you get the, with that URL, you get the premium 30 day trial, which lets you choose, check out two games or movies at a time. They got movies too. Movies, Christ, yeah. Up and coming. Those are medium.

That child's medium. It's like a baby's toy. I can't wait to see where movies go from here. You know, like writers and literature reviewers back in the day, they said movies were a baby art form. Yeah, life. Yeah, exactly. This is never going to take off.

But hey, we know better. You know better. We got 9,000 titles to choose from at the moment. How many? Over 9,000 titles to choose from at the moment. I am the hype, right? Yeah. So yeah, go check them out at gamefly.com slash friendcast and sign up now for a free

30 day trial. Super dope. Thanks to Gamefly for supporting the franchise. Thank you very much. Gamefly. Appreciate it. Yeah. And no one remembers what we were talking about VR.

We were talking about VR. Nice. Yes. I played through what I would adequately call PSVR worlds to completion. So I finished London Heist, which I thought was quite fun, but it's only half of it. Incredibly hard. Incredibly difficult for some. Very, very hard.

It was very fun, London Heist, but it's over so soon. I liked how there were multiple endings, but... What is that based on? Is there just three? It's fun, your decision. Yeah. Scavengers Odyssey is quite fun. It's definitely the lengthiest of the bunch.

It's even got like a big last boss battle and stuff. Ultimately it's still only like an hour, an hour and a half. Did you finish that? I completed it on stream, yeah. You finished the first half, yeah. Oh, there's a second half. I completed the first half. No, it's quite long and it's really good.

It's really good. As far as games that let you kind of dip your toe into different genres, they're solid at that. They're not full productions. VR Worlds is like the fucking zeitgeist of the feeling of like, imagine what people will be able to do once they're not launch titles. It's a really good compliment to the demo disc for the time being, but the Luge game is kind of nothing. Yeah, no, I don't like it at all. I don't think it's very good. It's really blurry, too.

You lose down tracks and yeah, the resolution is a bit low and that's it. You tilt your head to A. There's like one area and each of the different tracks are like deviations of that area where you go on a slightly different path, but it's more or less the same environment at a different time of day. It's just not that interesting. Danger Ball is the other one, I think. Yeah, how is Danger Ball? It's basically like Pong.

Fusion Frenzy. Somewhere between Pong and Arcanoid, right? Okay, okay. It is fun for what it is. It's like Super Hypercube in that same way where you'll enjoy it as much as you enjoy that kind of thing. There's nothing wrong with it. It's perfectly good. Not particularly compelling for me, anyway.

And the whatever the fucking ocean, ocean descent. Ocean, yeah. Two of those are boring as fuck. Two of them are super boring. Is there no sharks? There is. Is it cool? Yes.

So is it good? Yes. That one. Okay. Not the other two, though. You said that was the one you show your mom. Those are really good to show people who like might not be good enough at games to play anything. Because you don't move and you don't do shit.

Yeah, you just look around. And they're gorgeous and they're really nice. And the one with the shark is actually really thrilling and it's like a super good time. Oh, what's going on? What has happened? Oh, shit. I thought we agreed. Oh.

So many balls, like at least six to seven balls. He tore out the cable's microphone. Yeah. Headphones. You know, you could just sit in a bucket. What you could do is cut out the middle of the chair and put a bucket underneath it through it. We have a bucket. We'll know, but you guys can't smell it.

What's that smell? After playing it all through, I kind of agree with the reviews where they're giving it like sixes and stuff. Because Scavengers Odyssey and London Heist do pull it up a little bit because they're quite fun. But ultimately you're looking at like maybe two hours of content. I'm glad I got it in a bundle. Yeah. It is a very good piece of software as a bundled thing. The demo disc.

50 for 40 bucks, I think they're selling it for. The demo disc and PSVR worlds in that bundle basically make that bundle with the move controllers and the camera. Totally worth it. Fantastic. And they are perfect for that. They're perfect for trial things. But if you say you don't want to buy any games, say there aren't any, you know, they're perfect. Yeah.

Those ones are extremely glorified tech demos. And they're going to last for a while as like, I never tried VR before. And before you slap them into whatever super intense game comes out in a year, right? Fucking Skyrim, whatever. Whatever. Yeah, no. Give them, if somebody's weak and gets motion sick easily, give them that wildlife tour on the ocean. Yeah, no.

Because you can't control shit and it doesn't move. You know? Yeah. Safe. Safe. Easy. It's exactly safe and try to get it for free or for very cheap. I almost tried to steal it.

I wish you could buy the games individually. No. Like four bucks a pop for Holland Heist. Like five to ten depending. Like because I would easily recommend Scavengers Odyssey. It's good. You got like an hour and a bit of content and there's some replayability. London Heist, a lot shorter, but it's still good.

Luge, I would say just skip. Just fucking skip that ocean descent if you've got someone to show it to. Or if you like sharks a lot, I guess. I like sharks a lot. Like either the retail length, or not retail, sorry, the full game experience is like a VR game. That's like eight hours plus or something like that is either just too expensive, crazy right now. Excuse me.

I also must use the wash. Oh, well, there you go. Oh, but I'm not going to trip over nothing. Yeah. Okay. I say as I'm going to very carefully walk out of the room. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, the struggle with making that was close. Making the long. You were tied up on it. The struggle with making the long game, it's still the locomotion. But isn't there all. Yeah, I know that. It's also part of it of like, you know, they want to see how the water flows. They're being tested, right?

They want to see how many people actually buy this because we know the tech is here. We know it's better than 3D TVs. I mean, are people going to spend money on it? I don't know. I mean, right now you can definitely look at Oculus and Sony. 3D TVs are coming back, man. Get that stock back from the old warehouse. Bring it back up to the front.

You never know. You never know when they'll come back. You can definitely see like Oculus and Sony are putting like relatively big investments into it. And like some of the upcoming games like Farpoint and Golem and some of the stuff we've seen like rigged. Sorry, what did you call that? Farpoint?

No. That's not its name. It's called the Onslaught 2. Onslaught 2? Okay. Well, I guess that's why I'm still a kid. But does it convert into sales, you know? Who knows yet?

There was a Oculus Vive game called Raw Data recently that I think broke a million dollars worth of income. They did really fucking good for themselves. Isn't that like a game where you jack into? It's like a first person shooter and you jack into people? It's a first person shoot bang and you like teleport around this arena and shoot enemies and then you take an elevator and you teleport that. That's right.

Okay. I saw a video for that. Apparently it's quite fun. But yeah, I think we're at the crossroads between big investment and what even fucking works. What do you? Yeah. Cause like, cause discovery of it as well.

One of the games I played this week was Loading Human, which was a Kickstarter VR game, right? And they wanted to make a big cinematic like story VR game. And the ideas are all there, but their execution of player movement is so deeply, deeply flawed that I need to go tweak them to ask them. I'm sorry. What game? Loading Human. Yeah.

I saw that on your list. It was in the stack, but yeah, we didn't touch it during the stream. But I'm like, someone said something, a comment during the stream and I was like, wow, could you imagine like the new Star Fox game with res controls? Well, Ace Combat 7 is coming. Dude, Ace Combat and Ace Combat games are fucking good. Wait, hold on. Stop.

Because in an Ace Combat game, my head should be the pilot, not my targeting. It's going to be the pilot. Okay. That's good. That's correct. That's what we want for VR games. Yeah. For Star Fox though.

For Star Fox, I would. Whatever's appropriate for the game. Yeah. For Star Fox, I want my view to be Fox's staff. And then I shoot out like little particles and energies. And then you have the tricky controls on your hands. I want to be tricky. Like the big games are definitely not there right now.

And I think like a big part of that, it's like what even fucking works, right? Like, nobody knows what works. Let me ask you a question. Is the Loading Human, is the Loading Human movement as bad as the Hear They Lie movement? Yeah. Because that made me feel sick. Some parts of it are better, some parts of it are worse. Yes.

Yeah, I played it too, guys. It made me feel fucking sick. I got super sick. So some are better, some are worse. So in Loading Human, what you do to move forward is you hold one of the face buttons on the move controllers. Okay. And it works, for some reason it feels a little better than in Hear They Lie, not gigantically.

And the acceleration is not great, so it doesn't feel a lot better. The problem with Loading Human is they've got this fucking convoluted control scheme and they are like obsessed with this idea that you have to have a body with arms and hands. And let me tell you, their arms don't fucking work. They don't goddamn work. There's a setting you have to toggle at the beginning that is how tall are you. And they use that as a metric for determining how long your arms are.

No, that doesn't... No! It's not 100% and it took me a while and I had to set myself to like 6 foot 7 for it to feel... I will assuredly be bordering on disabled in that game. So you set it up and then the inverse kinematics don't even really work that great. So your arms often doing things that your arms not doing and it feels really weird. But another part of their controls that's really fucked up, I don't have a move controller

on me, but you know how it works? You hold the controller like that, like a wand vertically and what that means is the character is holding their hand straight out, right? You hold it like that and they're holding their hand like that. You squeeze the trigger and they grip like that. Makes sense. In loading human, they don't do that and it's fucked up. In loading human, the controller is pointing in the direction the hand is pointing.

So if you want the hand to point straight out from the wrist, you've got to point the controller forward. Which is fucked because that's 90 degrees off. That's wrong! It's extremely uncomfortable. If I'm holding like that, he's holding like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no. It's bad.

That's no point. It is really bad. So the remote is the hand and not your hand. Yeah, it's terrible. It's really bad. That's the main thing I want to tweak them to ask is can you fucking change that? Because it feels... No man, it's intentional.

And I know this is like, it's no man, it's undiscovered land. Nobody really knows how these things work. But that is one thing that we know works. And if these guys are going to make two more episodes of loading human to conclude the 90 degrees as they plan, I really think they need to improve that personally. Hey Liam, I got a question for you about the PSVR in general. You've had it at your home for a little bit now. Yeah.

Have you experienced significant amounts of drift to the left and right? The other night I was playing Hypercube and it was drifting so aggressively to the right, I couldn't do anything. And I took off the headset and I realized I had somehow turned my chair 90 degrees. Otherwise, no I haven't, but I've heard about it. I am running into a problem at my house in which over time, over a long enough period of time with games, I will... Occasionally just have a drift.

I will end up in a situation in which I know I'm looking straight forward because my back is right against my couch. And London Heist, my character will be rotated to the right 45 degrees. I've read people saying full reboot fixes it, but I don't know what causes it. It does. Did you do all the extra tracking stuff in the menus where it prompts you? In fact, I've been moving the camera around because that seems to help it. And I am having trouble finding a sweet spot because if I move the camera, it's on top

of my TV right now. If I move it a little bit to the left, it ends up tracking to the left. And if I move it a little bit to the right, I end up tracking to the right. And I'm trying to find a sweet spot. One thing I read people saying is put the camera below the TV. That is a non-option in a cat household. Can you... Also, the camera should be just facing straight towards you no matter what.

Right. But what I mean is... What do you mean straight forward? Like not tilted up or down? No, like it should be facing you directly. Okay. Like it shouldn't be at an angle. Oh, yeah.

If you're sitting at an angle, you're going to have tracking angles. You mean a horizontal angle. Yeah. Not vertical. And there's options you can do to increase tracking accuracy. Yeah. And the menus go to the VR settings up in the settings and it'll prompt you to hold your headset in front of the camera in a bunch of different ways.

What it'll do is it'll... That requires me to be much closer to my TV than I expected. Well, close to the camera. Yeah. But do I just have to move my whole setup very close? As long as you're within the boxes and stuff, that's the sweet spot. It's like five to seven feet is kind of the good spot. Five to seven feet.

I'll try and move it a little bit closer. But yeah, they ask you to do that and what it does is it adjusts its tracking to the color of the lights based on the lighting in your room. So it just is a little more accurate. That might be it because the lighting in my living room changes wildly all the time. You want to keep it dim if you can. Okay. I will try and keep...

I have like eight lights that come from different directions. I will try and combo those into the best setting. I definitely had some issues when I was playing Job Simulator. At one point my hands were off a little bit and I rebooted the game and it fixed it. I have no doubt that I can fix it. There's only one thing that actually really annoys me. Oh, I opened Siri. Whoops.

Okay. I've done that before on the podcast and nobody's noticed. Yeah. It's weird. I think we're hyper vigilant today. The one thing that really does annoy me though is that on the dash or whatever the fuck it's called, the cross media, whatever, I can recenter my view to anything and it always works. In every game, it only recenters your view to your relative position.

What? Yeah. I can't... Like they need to make it so that I can recenter my view like properly. It's 100%. No, because I'll turn my head to the right back to where it's supposed to be to recenter it or I'll try and do it way off to the side so I can get a center one and it doesn't. It just moves me backwards or forward.

I think the regulation is all it has to be is when you hold options, you get a recalibration system for that game, which is why Batman has that more elaborate one. Yeah. I feel like that will very likely get more impressive because I need to recalibrate it left and right, not up and down, not forward and back, guys. Come on. Yeah. Was there anything else?

On loading human. Yeah, sorry. I still had some thoughts on that. Oh, very sorry. There's a bit at the beginning of the game where you've got to shave your character's face because he's a guy no matter what, right? So you go to the bathroom, you grab the razor and you shave the face. And I feel like they're obsessed with that you have to have this body because they want

that shaving scene to work, but Batman has shown us perfectly that you don't need the arms and the body and reflections still feel really well, feel really good. Granted, they could not have possibly played Batman before they released their game. That's right. But in a post-Batman... Actually, they could have at a show for it. At a show, maybe. Yeah, but in a post-Batman, post-loading human era, I really hope they're able to patch

the game significantly because it feels like they could really improve it a lot. There are parts of the game that are fucked, like when you go to grab something. That's not a good way to describe it, man. So if there's a lever on the wall and I grab it from far away, the screen will do like a black blinks. Those are good for masking movement, but it'll warp you to it and in the right position. So if I grab it with a hand funny, it'll warp me to it so my arm is the right way. But your arm's already out to the side.

And it's like, fuck off, don't do that. Just don't do that. Other games don't do that because, guess what? It fucking shatters the immersion. So now you have to move your hand back to where it should be or something like that to feel correct? Well, I just finished the action. Yeah, no, we're in that era of 3D movement where, back when 3D movement was new, it's

like, okay, we're going to have a two-year lag on every good idea because everyone is going to fail in their own very special way and then one game's going to get it right and then everyone's going to know how to snap to cover. Left-handed Link is now a bigger issue than ever because you looked down at your hand and you go, what the fuck? You know what they should do, right? And most games like that, they should just have it so you can switch your fucking hands. Well, because Batman, you can totally just grab whatever with whatever hand you want.

Yeah. No, I'm assuming it doesn't affect combat in any actual way, meaning the life. Or maybe there'll be a combat encounter in which it's better to be left-handed if you're doing your swinging sword fighting. Anyway, the ideas are there. The game's a little rough. It's a Kickstarter game by a small company. I think they raised $40,000.

It's not a huge company by any metric, but I really hope they can address some of these issues and move these fixes forwards through the remainder of the chapters they plan to release for the game. It feels like it could be something, but right now it is sometimes a struggle to play. That was a really, really long week, so I'm going to drop it there. I'm just going to mention there was a lot of really good anime that came out. I'm not going to talk about it because that was a really long week. But I was on the one and only 2016 Fall Weebcast that we'll be releasing sometime this week

with Jeff, Mother's Basement, Thu, Nate, the best whatever, who's a great guy. He's super good. And Brennan, I have two children, Williams. Oh, he does have the two children. Yeah, he does. He leveled up. Nate, best guy ever, Bateman. That's it.

How does better wooly become even better wooly? Dude, there's a guy in Tiger Mask. Who looks like you. I know. I've seen it anywhere as a suit that time. I know. But he's not you. I know.

I'm well aware. We're going to get on that soon enough. Did you know? I did know. You were in Steven Universe? Did you know? Did you know, Matt, that wooly is in Steven Universe? I didn't know.

No, I didn't know. Matt. Wooly doesn't even know. Why did you punch Lapis Lazly, wooly? Nobody knows why he did that. That's just crazy. Hey, why'd you have a week, Matt? It's overrated.

What? I bought PlayStation VR solely after playing Until Dawn, Rush of Blood. I didn't really have a big compulsion to buy it because I had watched a video and this is what we were talking about. You watched a video of these games and you're like, I'd watched a video of Until Dawn months ago. It looked kind of tame. And it looked like, wow, that's just a rail shooter.

Yeah. I had the exact same explanation. I was still pissed that when Until Dawn, Rush of Blood, that subtitle, I was like, oh yeah, DLC for Until Dawn. But actually, we're talking about experiencing this thing. I had within, what, 10 minutes? That's like the beginning of the second level or something. I was having so much fun.

You fucking loved it. You were having a blast. I really, really loved it. To be fair, aiming with both hands is super cool. I was so amazed at how accurate your aiming was with two guns simultaneously. With no reticles. Within like 15 minutes of playing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I did it. I looked at it and I was like, man, this is just like the old days, the guys would double fist their house when they're dead or time crisis guns. And it's cool because the trick is the reticles, the flashlight. Yeah. That's the trick. And your brain doesn't think about it, but yeah. It didn't.

We made that note. I said, look, I have lights coming out of my guns. That would be good for Leo. That's for your shooting. Yeah. But that's for your shooting. Yeah, that totally makes sense. And like, yeah, I got that in the mail like yesterday and like.

Wait on Sunday. Yeah. Yeah. I got my PSVR in the mail on Saturday after I went downtown and grabbed the last one of the Best Buy. What's going up with with shipping? They just really want you to have it, I guess. So I haven't had a chance to let go play myself again, but I kind of want to do something

with that really, really soon. But I will talk about the other like we be attached upon it, but here they lie like, you know, for the for the second kind of horror game, well, technically a Brocave and Experiment is the second kind of horror game like that does like it made Pat sick. It made me sick. So made Woolie's head explode. When I played it a bit, I was just like, you felt it too, didn't you? So my girlfriend's able to play it with no nausea.

She seems to be totally immune from it. And I got to see most of what's in the demo. It's really cool. It's a really cool horror game imagery. Yeah. And it's the most low res game I've ever seen. And when I was watching it, you know, from the couch, I was like, Oh, this game's cool. Yeah.

Will the only one one one feeling about this game? It's not a waifu. That's a wife. Yeah. There's a wife in this game. That's my wife. Anyway, wife, but you said it. I mean, but every every every time I tried to play it, I just immediately I didn't feel

nauseous, but I felt bad, bad right away. My stomach just started churning. Yeah. It's like in seconds and then to me, it's really sad. Because when you're playing until dawn, we talked about roller coasters. I felt a little bit of a pull to my left and to my right, but that feeling is constant throughout every time you hit the stick. Anytime I hit the stick, especially if I hit the stick and I look in another direction,

which is what the game wanted me to do. And like, I didn't like the blinking mechanic and I didn't feel like it felt natural. Like I got its functionality. There's a really good reason for it, but it feels weird. It feels like the stupid blinking mechanic from Alone in the Dark Inferno, where you have to blink to stop your vision from blurring every couple of seconds. Loading human does a similar thing when you turn. Where you have to point in a direction and press the button and then it blinks you to

face that way. And it feels weird. But so far, I just have until dawn and I download the Brookhaven experiment, which is an HTC Vive horror game where you're shooting monsters and zombies and stuff that is really, really well reviewed. Lots of people did videos on that when that released. And I was like, shit, there's a PlayStation VR version. Fucking I can finally play this.

Yeah, because the screenshots and trailers of it, I'm like, that looks like goofy fun. You're killing various mutants and zombies. And like, apparently it's quite good. Yeah, no, the well, the Steam reviews. I didn't see any reviews of places where I assume they're it's fine. Was that the only thing you picked up with it? That and until dawn, I just downloaded them both before the PS VR came out. I did the same goddamn thing.

Isn't that just an asshole thing to do? That's also because when I went to when I went to E.B. Games, they're like, we sold out of all our PlayStation VR games. That's the only one we have left is Batman. And I was like, oh, it's like, no, I'm good. Yeah, I'm good. Aside from that, I played. I didn't get to talk about last week because I forgot our Agami.

I passed you that copy. Yeah, you would. You should try our Agami as well. It's the ninja stealth game. No, I remember that. That looks fucking cool. Like Tenchu. Is that like Tenchu? It's tell me it's like Tenchu.

It's more like Splinter Cell. All right, I'm I'm also actually into that where you can't really attack guy. You can, but like, you're not fighting them with combos and shit. And one hit kills you. Got OK. Got it. Like, it seems like you as long as you can sneak up on somebody, you can fucking murder them super hard. It's still really, really you don't have any if they see you.

You have very, very few chances because you're not fighting against random guards or like whatever stealth enemies are fighting against the warriors of light and they have light swords that shoot waves and that it's that track. So they're very well armed. They're very, very well armed. The only thing about this game is that on PS4, at least, there is some framerate issues. There is a patch.

I haven't played it post-patch yet, but I assume it irons it out. And some of the animations are just a little stilted. They're a little like very modest shows as origins as a Kickstarter. Yeah, it was a Kickstarter game that failed its funding. But then someone picked it up. The game looked good at the Kickstarter. It did. And visually, I think the game is really nice. And it's just good old fashioned, my aesthetic stealth.

Plus, I saw a power that said unleash a shadow dragon and drag drag people into nothingness. And I went, you know what? Yeah, it's all right. That's not bad. That's OK. Sometimes you want to drag something into nothing. I also played Thumper, but we already talked about it. Thumper is awesome. It's the shit. Even without VR apps.

It's absolutely without VR because I've played about a few days before. I played mostly without VR before as well. So well worth your time. It's great. Come on away since Bambi. That's that's why I think the title is not great. All I can think of is Bambi when I think of the word Thumper. That's true. I haven't even got to care of that awful rabbit for like six months.

That was named Thumper, so was named Thumper. Yeah. Oh, very original. That it's not an aggressive. That rabbit was like a fucking asshole. That rabbit bit everyone and everyone I love. Bit me. Well, some people. Yeah. Anyway.

So I also played Shadow Warrior 2. Yeah. Really, really was getting into that really, really enjoying it. I had only played, you know, the demo for a little while and then playing the full game, getting all the cutscenes. I had a real big complaint early on where at the end of Shadow Warrior 1, the world is set in like a certain state and then in Shadow Warrior 2, they're like, yeah, everything's cool.

And I'm like, what? What? What happened? Shut up. What happened? And then the game, the cutscenes of stuff, tell me to shut up. And I was like, oh, OK, well, whatever. It's Shadow Warrior. Who cares? That's like going, oh, at the end of Duke Nukem 3D. Like, who cares when there's a sequel?

Then the game goes, wait, here you go. There's optional lore pickups that explain how the world moved from one stage to the other, but it doesn't bog down all the cutscenes with it. It's quite different. So you find all this lore, you find ancient Japanese haikus and poems. Some of them don't even have punch lines. They're just fun little stories.

And you fill in all your weapon lore, all your monster lore. Some of it is written really, really well. So I'm really enjoying that in single player. That game is awesome. I played a bunch of it. So did you play in co-op? No. So I played in co-op with Maximilian, Cranky Cronstruct and Austin Eruption.

Oh, it's four player. It's four player. OK. And everyone, if they think I told you, everyone, everyone appears to be low wing to them. Who's everybody else? Your co-op buddies. Yeah. They look like generic ninjas. All right, that's good. You can change what you look like for multiplayer,

but you always look like low wing. I'm low wing. I'm Batman, you know, like it's always. So we're playing that. And in co-op, that's because there's the difficulty to put it on. Where you can set it for like, we're going to be four people running on this. And then there's another base difficulty. This is the general difficulty.

If you put it on four, like we were, then everything kind of switches to going, oh, every enemy is a bullet sponge that just takes so much ready to get. So if they just it's just a damage multiplier, or rather a health multiplier, a health multiplier. Yeah, since it's also on that set difficulty, you get better drops when you kill all these. Yeah, big, huge bosses.

And that got a little tedious when we're just trying to complete the mission. And we went to a mission that did in the game's defense said, this is going to be rough. You should probably complete a couple of more other side missions before you tackle this. But you get these rewards and we go in. Oh, we want that. We want that real bad.

That's automatic shotgun. It's called the hammer shot. How many fucking weapons? Seventy five. There's a lot. There's a lot. Quite borderland levels. It's in the middle there. How that game overlap that game.

OK, Willie, for melee swords, we had standard sword. We had a high frequency riding blade that made the whooshing noise. You have to high frequency. Right. We have a weapon called the blades of the Zibatsu, which shoot energy waves out. But that's what what I kind of mean is how unique is the move set for each weapon? Pretty unique.

From what I saw, it feels like I got no weapons and I have more weapons than my wheel can hold. And I feel like I have more than I need. So do you have to like pause the game and put menus when you want to put that in? Yes. Yeah, you have like 20 weapons at some point, I guess. And you go, you press start and there's a wheel that's like, put what you want on your wheel. Yeah, but you can only fit like eight.

You can only fit nine. Ten. That's kind of more than you'll probably end up cycling. But a regular rotation. It makes it that it makes it feel like a way better controlling cooler borderlands. Do weapons do weapons break? Is there no reason? No way. OK, you can buff up the weapons with any manner of things, put elemental stuff on that, get a shotgun, making a nice shot.

Yeah, a little bit. Also inserting gems. The weapons and the melee weapons all feel fucking awesome. They actually like everyone wants to use the melee weapons more like after a while, everyone's like, I just want to fucking because there's advantage of your stinger because you have a stinger. You have a stinger. You charge it on the ground. You double jump up and you let it go and you sail across.

I saw you tweeted that out, right? I tweeted a picture of that. So I saw I saw footage. You also have a you also have a dope spin attack. And you have like a air combo kind of equivalent. How do you do that? That it's just the spikes that like red steel. Oh, I haven't gotten a grip of darkness.

Yeah, it suspends guys in midair. Then you can double jump up to them and start the other thing. I feel like red steel, too, in that sense, a little bit. Red steel, too. Stay was actually a high time lift them up. Yeah, because the thing about melee versus shooting is shooting has obvious advantages, which is you shoot the gun and you don't need to be as accurate with a lot of the weapons, but enemies of of of note will change

their their their attack pattern appropriate on what you have. So there's a samurai that you fight pretty early on that has like the double bladed Darth Maul thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you have a gun when he charges at you, he has this giant fucking energy shield that you'll have to get out of his way to avoid. But when you're using a melee weapon, you can parry him and combo him while he's stunned instead.

Yeah. Yeah. So that's really fun. The one co-op mission that we did, Willie, where the parkour comes and we're all running on the rooftops, jumping from neighborhood to neighborhood. And that stuff was like, this feels really good. Just for the locomotion sense of it. But then when we got to the bullet spongy enemies, we're like, oh, you would like turn that turn that that multiplayer difficulty down.

Like maybe put it to two if you're four. Therefore, you have a little enemies are a little bit tougher. Yeah. But they're not like just annoying. Ninja Turtles. Platinum Ninja Turtles. They had that. No, no, no, just the bosses. The bosses were just like, I don't care what you do. Yes, it was really.

Yeah. Aside from that, I do want to say one more thing about Shadow Warrior. That, to my knowledge, is the first game that I've played. Anyway, that supports HDR on the PC. Yeah. So I ran that at 4K in HDR. HDR is a weird thing when you turn it on because it'll blank your screen out and come back. Flicker. Yeah. The. Yeah, dude. Yeah. Yeah.

OK, we were going to eventually try HDR out on that television because it does the same as mine. It's a huge improvement in color quality. That kind divided has it on. Oh, does it? Yes, for if you just need to check something quick. It looks fucking great. Well, you know, like H like high dynamic range photography

and high dynamic range like video. When you see it, your eyes are like, whoa. So yeah, absolutely. The pop is real. And also Shadow Warrior like does this like you put that on low settings. Game still looks really nice. There's just a couple of like little boxes you can do where it's like Austin was like, yeah, I'm getting it's kind of getting a little frame dropy.

And he goes, fine, I'll put everything down a bit. And he's like, the game still looks a lot of games. When you drop it from from ultra to high, there's no appreciable difference unless you're a digital foundry. And then when you drop it from high to medium, even you go, uh, yeah, all that shadows different. I get, you know, like, especially in a game like this, where you're moving super fast and killing show all the time.

Well, the funny thing you're telling me that Shadow Warrior 2 supports some something to do with like a dynamic resolution or it does. Yeah, this is something about an NVIDIA or whatever. If you have an NVIDIA card and have a the frame rate locked and exclusive full screen, you can have dynamic resolution. That's awesome. Yeah. Dynamic resolutions.

Here's war. Here's war has that as well. So that hat, that's really good functionality. Like, hey, that's really good. But then they have stupid things like, hey, if you put it into this type of keyboard, it'll illuminate Wang on your. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's awesome. So W.A. and G are highlighted to always glow.

That's a great PC release has good use of their programers. A astounding amount of work put into it. It's really well, I mean, it's that's what it is. Yeah, I know. There's no console. Oh, there's no console. It's coming out next year. I thought you were playing the console version. No, I was playing the console version.

So there's that. I also saw a movie called Super Gamera. I don't know. It's Shin. Oh, who cares? A true by God. I got God. Thy gods.

Thy gods. You know, I got five. Yeah, Shin Gojira, my friend, Rocky, before even I did somehow got tickets. Yeah, I did because I was away when the tickets finally went on sale in Montreal and he's like, hey, bro, I got you go to everybody bought tickets for you.

No, but then I wound it. I'm not needing them because there's one screening and everyone's at it. Everyone's there independently. So should I go see this? I think there's one more date in Montreal. Yeah, I think that's the 24th is the last date. Should I go see it?

All right. So well, let's talk about it. I'm going to, if you guys want to say something, I just want to answer Pat's question and say that is it the best Godzilla movie ever? That's a questionable thing. Only someone like Matt Hussina, most of them can answer. Is it the best Evangelion movie? Yes, because the reason I asked is

because I spoiled the absolute shit out of myself on this film. But you know what? Spoilers don't play the Ava soundtrack. Yeah, because you're what's his name? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's not similar. Yeah, I know it's it may as well be. Yeah, I know. The Evangelion sound. I know, it's it's it's the it's the guy who did the Ewa

soundtrack does the soundtrack for it. Yeah, it's this is this is an unofficial sequel. I'm actually I'm actually just going to I'm going to try to make a small little video review and put on the channel really quick because everyone's like, you know, what do you think, what do you think? Because it's I liked it overall. I had like two like very tiny like little nitpicks, but one kind of like that could have been done a bit better.

And it's just, you know, a midway into the movie action sequence. So I'm like, mm, but other than that, I really liked it. In terms of like where it stands in Godzilla, there's only been like two movies aside from this one ever. That was just Godzilla. Hi, it's just me here. Just your friendly neighborhood, Kaiju. There's no one else. I'm not it's just me.

I hope that's good enough because it really is just him. It really is just him. There's no other monsters like the first one and like a reboot from 1985, which was called over on these shores, Godzilla 1985, where it was just him. He does fight a little dumb spaceship that the government sends them, but whatever. It's the best like it's just me. Now, that's the best solo. Well, here's the best solo album because that's solo album.

Right. And if you have a Godzilla solo album, that means you're going to have to spend a lot of time with the humans. Yeah, has there ever been humans in another Godzilla movie where you didn't immediately scoff and go, oh, like when you see the humans in transport, baby, right? Or have you not seen Final Wars? I still haven't seen Final Wars. Final Wars is pretty much there.

There's a couple at least, I guess. Because here, the fact that you're going through the bureaucracy is so cool. Final Wars doesn't count because that everyone does martial arts and shit. So they're not just talking. It doesn't really matter. But in terms of all the other movies, they flip around between the bureaucracy. Bureaucracy always sometimes gets a little bit of stuff,

but it's very cursory, very just like, all right, give the order. And then that's the last time you see that guy. Yeah, it's never. But it's never like bureaucracy. It's never the point to show you how fucking useless and inefficient these assholes are. If you're interested in seeing this movie, I think I told at least one of you this that in Japan, this played super harsh where all of this, all of this bureaucracy stuff about Japan and the Prime Minister and all the cabinet ministers

was a huge like, fuck you, you handled that earthquake like shit. Oh, yeah. Oh, it was so I've read reports of English people that were in Japan, went to go see the movie. And they're like, OK, they they knew Japanese. Yeah. And they're watching. They're like, OK, sure. But everyone in the seats are going, oh, so cool. They're fucking taking stabs.

They're taking stabs at the government. And that and in the subtitles, hidden translation, you can get that. Yeah, that they're bungling a little bit and it takes and even some characters go, man, this is bullshit. It's taken us this long to solve this. He's got a soup and he's like he breaks his chops thinking he's like, ah, the noodles are soggy. This is hard work. You know, like they have the and behind him in the window is Godzilla

stomping through a city like creamy. You have some really interesting discussions about like, like, like obviously every time we see something that it looks like a nuke going off in an anime, you're like, well, yeah, yeah, that's a deal thing. You know, but this is the first time where like you kind of it has a really good meaning behind why they reference that like the nuke. You know, there's a there's a references to the Fukushima 50. You know, there's all kinds of shit that's like actually modern and current

Japan that is like, yeah. Oh, it's Fukushima, the cause of Godzilla. No, but like, but there's straight up a point where it's like, you are the ones who are going into the death zone. You're doing this for your country kind of thing like the Fukushima 50. And I was very current with it. It's a fucking hell of a movie. So the other thing about this is that when you're talking about human characters,

one thing this isn't is not anime because when it does spend some time, like there's the pilot of the Mecha Godzilla that is passionate because their little sister got crushed in some rubble like 50 years ago or whatever. So there's not that it's realistic grounded people. Maybe a little bit. The only the only person who's anime is the the female researcher on her laptop. Or that or that older scientist that was a little eccentric. Yeah. And that's about it.

But they're that girl putting up her glasses that she doesn't have. Liam, that girl, you're right to narrow in on her because she's the only one I've seen that has had fan art drawn. Of course, yeah, where she's like looking away and there's a little baby Godzilla next turn. She's like, yeah, she's not looking at her. Where you can't see through her glasses. Exactly. Yeah, totally.

And the only thing I'll say in my last little kind of like, you know, it's an interesting point to make is that when one of the first trailers dropped that showed Godzilla, I remember Woolly going, he doesn't look. He looks like a kind of really static statue. He's not really moving. He's kind of like whatever you ever seen that. And I remember thinking, man, fuck this guy.

It looks awesome. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Man, I fucking hate him so much. But then when I saw the movie, I actually there was a little bit of an epic where I'm like 90 percent of the time it's just his legs moving and his tail just going nuts, going super nuts. And he's just literally walking straight. Now, I think that was to like, he's just death.

He's just he's not animated enough that it's supposed to sell it. Yeah, he's not this animated Kaiju that's like all the time and like swiping at things. All he's doing is moving forward. He's just an unstoppable vision of death. Yeah, exactly. So I'm like, you know what, that's fine. And the last little thing is that like, I really liked seeing a tweet where our friend Volta, who is unfortunately I didn't I messed him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's there in the screening. He goes Shin Godzilla viewing incredibly improved by during the final shot. I can hear back my muscles going, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There is there is about that creepy face and about the the staticness of Godzilla himself, though, like I think that it ends up working in another way as well when you there's something creepy about animals that like stop and hear something that you can't hear and are kind of looking off

and then just do something. You don't know what they're thinking. Yeah, yeah, you can't get a read on it and there's moments like that. But and this is all talking about everything else in the movie without getting to the fucking meat and potatoes that is the one action. See, yeah, there's there's there's it's fucking off. There's three, but there's really there's one. And it's like it's so unbelievable that like it's amazing that you don't need more. Yeah, when it happens, when it was done,

the movie is done, you came out to me. You're like, yeah, could he do that? Another yeah, yeah. Because what he does is so bust so far beyond you're like anything. Oh, my God, is this new a new move? Why is this like a Evangelion level attack? Yeah, yeah, you are you are an angel, you know, and so it may as well be. Yeah. And so you're just and after you see that happen,

it's so convincing that you're like, OK, no, we don't need to see this happen again. If the world is over, yeah, you know, that's why that's why one of these things that like I can't wait for a sequel because I want to see that move set then used against more stuff. Because of the grimm. Well, here's the question. Who stands a chance? If Godzilla is like the specter of death incarnate, yeah, like is the other

Kaiju going to just be just as fucked up? But that's like the best Godzilla movies are the ones where they actually give him an enemy. And I think, Pat, what's what's Destroya? That's a Troy. Yes, Troy is the like one of the few guys were like, let's make something so fucking powerful. And let's just make Satan.

And then that's where they can push. Mothra just bleeds aides on everybody. Comes out late. What else are you going to do? How do you? Mothra is a hero. She's a heroine. No, no, not in this universe anymore. Progenitor of AIDS. Did you see Mothra up there?

Yeah, the HIV everybody. Everybody gets just I like coach the entire nation. I like how Shin Godzilla also didn't have like a MacGuffin. There wasn't a thing where like, oh, Godzilla is going towards this thing. Or it was just no, Japan is getting fucked. Well, the MacGuffin fucking find Japan. Really? Oh, yeah, you know, they didn't really get to a MacGuffin. If there was no, he didn't really.

It wasn't even a MacGuffin. Like it was just that was just how they. Well, I imagine I imagine the MacGuffin was a nuclear attack that. No, no, it wasn't expressly like MacGuffin was science. OK, I don't know. I don't think it was like a present enough. No, like it wasn't a stupid plot thing. It was like, you know, we're doing this thing, right?

It was because the MacGuffin is the oh, I got to get this contrived. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, but here's the here's the key to get into my father's basement, right? The MacGuffin here is the two plans that they're working on to stop him. And the one that they use is kind of the MacGuffin, where everyone's kind of working towards getting that going. But you're meaning that there's not a stupid plot that Godzilla is doing.

I don't think they're really MacGuffins. That's just that's just no, no, no, that's that's the closest you can get. It's not like we need to go get this this scientist from this lab. And no, you know, you're going to walk into him in two hours. You know what? It was that there was that other scientist that wasn't in the movie, you know what? You know what? Just alluded to. Yeah, that was there and he's gone. So what you're telling me is that there aren't two Chinese little girl

twins in a cage that are magic. No, there aren't. Yeah. Damn it. That shit with Mothra's fucking stupid. It feels really, really grounded. And I think that's what's so cool about it. Yeah, I since if you saw in Ron Tomatoes, last time I saw it, it was trending at like 74 percent. And the main thing exactly like Godzilla 2014 is the main.

What's the main complaint? Not enough Godzilla. Not enough Godzilla. It's the same thing every time. Like it's just an American like reviewer. That's just like it's spent so much time on this Japanese shit. I don't know what you're talking about. Where is the monster? The drama was so good in this one, though.

It was it was good because it was so quick. Fast. It was fast. And and scenes would go on, but it was cut. It was edited so quick. People speak. You said you're really impressed that people talk over each other. Sometimes what doesn't happen early in the film is they're showing you how they have to go through different levels of government to get anything done. Right. And so it'll be super quick where one one guy.

I'll talk to a superior superior and he'll get the OK. Then I'll go to the next guy and get the OK. Then I'll go to the next guy at the OK. And every like third or fourth or fifth guy, he'll get interjected by something else and I'll have to go do something else. But it's very fast. New like new shot every like five seconds. Everyone with a spoken line gets a giant subtitle

explaining who they are, what their position is, you know, yeah. And it's it's so much in there, too. It's so obnoxious that like it like maybe ten minutes in, you're like, you don't you can't read these. I I there's too many people in English. Like subtitles too hard to read a tiny, tiny, tiny nitpick was like, they didn't need to do that. That's Anno style, though.

I do. I understand. But you have funimation. You do not you do not need to subtitle them. Come on. I mean, I think they did. But honestly, not the people's not the people's positions when they transition to a new area. Sure, it would have been nice, honestly, if like, you know, they could have actually put English subtitles for those in the movie

instead of having to bake subtitles on top of the people that speak English in the movie still have subtitles in English. But some sometimes they do that. So you're right. But it's like, it's like, you know, you think you're you're going to actually localize the movie. Like I know Funimation does, you know, subtracts and that's their thing. And that's and that's great. Subtracts are fantastic.

Being able to turn off subtracts is fantastic. But in a movie like this movie, where there is Japanese baked into the video, you think maybe you could just get like Toho to do another render with like with a pass with the baked titles of the night. Shit, they threw all that crap out. Yeah, trying because what will happen is they put the characters title under them, and that's where the subtitles go. So they'll have to put the translation for their title above them.

And it's just a mess of text on this text on text. And since it's so snappy and they introduce so many like bureaucrats it happens all the time. I want to applaud like the how there's one scene that just captures the stuffiness of bureaucracy, which was where everyone is staring at a piece of paper with legislation on it. And like the camera. Yeah. Is the piece of paper.

Yeah. And on the lens is the text. And everyone's reading over it like, oh, they're trying to figure out if this if Godzilla conforms to this. Oh, whatever. Whose department doesn't fall under? Yeah, what does it do? And they're just reading and it's just like it's so fucking just like, yes, this this is the exact feeling you needed right here.

Yeah. Good shot. I haven't seen that in anything else. I don't know if that's a first time thing, but it was fucking great. Seeing them overcome it too is really like when they get to that. You're like, yeah, OK. Also, I can't imagine for sequels. I can't imagine this Godzilla being the guy we've reroute for. Well, it's going to be directed by it's not being directed by

I know it's going to be a complete. And I apologize saying, I'm sorry, this Godzilla movie took so long. Your Eva movies coming next. And all I can feel is how come you can make a good Godzilla movie now, but you can't make a good Evangelion movie anymore because it's tied to his personal like each shit. Yeah, that's what he said. Yeah. Also, shout outs to every American actor in the movie that always made me laugh because it was because that's what it is.

Japanese directors, direct American actors like they would in Japan, so they're like, but you really want me to deliver it really stilted and terrible. So stilted. Yeah. No, the Japanese have really so a long way. Do you think Japan can stop Godzilla? It sounds like they were dubbed. Yeah. But they were one of the guys says it can't be helped at one point. We need to keep cheering Japan on from the sidelines.

Like if you're going to do that, like no matter what nationality you are, maybe you should have someone from that nationality rewrite the line and then get that vetted. Maybe you're not thinking about the United States feelings enough. And really, really quickly, there's an Exorcist show that was on Fox. And then I started refining articles and say, why is this show good? What the fuck? Boo. So I watched about four episodes of it and it's actually quite good.

This is one of those things where if I talk too much, spoiler babies start screaming about spoilers. Just give me. But if I undersell it and I don't talk a lot about what makes the show. Undersell babies cry. I had someone go, well, that's exactly like the Exorcist. I'm like, no, because I was trying to. Just give me a date and a place.

Modern day, Chicago. All right. That's scary enough. It references the older movies very, very vaguely where they're like, something like this happened once upon a time. But I will say is that this is like really good acting, really just solid show. I'm invested. I want to see more. And the thing that it does uniquely is that I will say that it shows possession from the possesses point of view.

What are they seeing? How does a demon or a presence seduce someone? What form does that take? And you see that and we're maybe midway through the show and the exorcism hasn't even taken place yet. It's all a setup and it's been really good setup. Like when you're trying to adapt something that's just a what one long scene. Basically, yeah.

Like, how do you do that? And it's doing it really well. The one thing I'll say is that the OP is like terrible. It's like bad visuals. Is it an OP? It's an OP. I was going to say, is it an OP now for American shows? Yeah. Is it the exorcist's porno graffiti intro that they got? It's so nothing.

It's just black and white images. And it just is the exorcist. I'm like, boo, like even preachers is really good comparatively and preachers is simple. But but I really like it so far. A fucking like a priest with a hat and like a briefcase and like G. Boo, whoa, so good. And I got all my overwatch Halloween costumes.

Hey, congrats. Should play for a while. No, I bought 24 boxes. I got everything that I wanted with those 24, though. Did you know? Sorry. Just on the TV stuff. Did you know that like a bunch of random shit is getting TV series like weapons like a total recall?

Well, I didn't know about. Oh, a minority report minority report. Like just go browsing through Netflix. There's some shit that came out in like 2015. And so it was just like, what? Yeah, TV shows based on all these things. I was like, what? When you have a lethal weapon? I saw I was like, no, sir. Yeah, why? No.

Fargo is goddamn great. I mean, let me know when hot shots is back. Wow. Well, let me know where Top Gun and hot shots. The fucking hot shots so much better than Top Gun. But yeah, that was me a good week. Except for this morning. It was good week. Yeah, I failed at my lup.

Oh, what's up with the love? No, I dumped. Wait, you did it again. I dumped it all out. And I started literally screaming fuck at the top of my lungs because I was coming here to. And I was like, you're kind of in a hurry. I'll clean out the kitty litters.

Fuck. And and my wife is like, what's wrong? Are you having a heart attack? I'm like, no, I'm just idiot. You pulled. And I have to spend like 20 minutes cleaning up everything. And then I'm carefully putting everything into the trash. And I just dumped it all on the floor again,

getting it into the trash because I'm trying to carefully. That sounds awful. It was so bad. I mean, while somewhere around the world, the lup guy is like. And you know what? Right before this, I bought a second lup. So this is going to happen. So I also bought a fancy kitty litter machine.

All right, it's called the Scoop Free Ultra. It puts his poop in a box. Yeah. Well, take us take us through your week because I got to pee again. OK, can you point this? You're nervous. I'm going to go to the bathroom first. Oh, wow, you guys really.

Hey, listen to me. You motherfucker. Oh, boy, that's that's what I wanted to be. A shot of Pat alone in the room. Oh, man. That'll happen eventually. Hey, the three point five patch came out. You aren't still technically talking to an audience.

That's so it's fine. I got it. I don't I don't have to. The box I'm sitting on is starting to die from my ass weight, and I'm starting to slide all over. So what I do with my week, I got the Scoop Free Ultra and Elmo really likes it. It pushes his poop in a little box and it re-sips.

You use a special crystals or some bullshit, which is that, which is the trap because I have to buy those crystals special. I got I got I got a kitty litter that you can just flush down the toilet. So you can just dump it in the toilet if you want it. This one, you put a top on the box and you throw the box down your shoe. I saw I saw a thing that says you do not need to change this litter for these mother fuckers.

It all sinks to the bottom of a tray. And then every three months, that's the only time you. Yeah, this and I was like, this is too this thing. This thing is going to last three weeks. And I got some backup boxes. And because the one thing that's that is interesting about it is because it uses a sifter. It pushes like a metal rake throughout to push the poop into the box.

Sounds like what I was talking about. Elmo like it goes off 20 minutes after he poops and every time he poops, he runs away and he's like, I'm happy. I pooped on the cat or fucking whatever. And then he can hear that noise. No matter it's very it's very quiet, but he can hear it. No problem. Any room in the house. And he runs to it.

He stares at it and he will sit there for like two hours. Because you'd be like, where to go? Why? Why did? Why did what's what's happening? I don't get it. Do you have any other additional thoughts on Shadow Warrior? Or are you? It looks really nice.

It runs really well. It plays really great. Some of the bosses are, I fought the chef. Yeah, we fought the chef in multiplayer. The chef is terrible. That was rough. That like the bosses that are just gigantic, super tough one hit kill enemy, they suck.

Those are still better than the boss fights from Shadow Warrior one though. Yeah, I bet. That yeah, they're pretty good. I played a lot of those PSVR games that Liam mentioned, but nothing really new to say. Why did you get here we lie when I told you it made me sick? Well, cause I tried the demo.

It's in the demo disc. Oh, I didn't know it was in the demo disc. Yeah, it's in the demo disc. So if you want to feel what bad VR feels like, you have the ability to go play that demo disc. No, honestly, you said like there's some good ideas, but of the point we stopped, I thought just gameplay wise, it wasn't very good.

That's just a horror walkthrough. We were just wandering around that lifeless city with like trying to find the one thing we were supposed to do. And it was just a little annoying that section. Is this here they lie? Yeah, here they lie. What else did I do this week? Okay, so I found up a trick you can use

with your significant other if they do something that's annoying to you. So my girlfriend's really bad with keys, like atrocious. Like the other day when me and Matt we should forget them in the evening. Yeah, she forgets them, loses them temporarily or permanently like leaves them all over the fucking place. So the other day, Matt, when we were,

for example, when we were recording here, I was a little late getting home and I found her sitting outside the fucking apartment in the hallway going, You can't get in because she forgot her keys. Right. So what you do. What's the plan?

Is you go to your local staples of your own group and they sell very cheap lock boxes there that have digital codes. Then you go and you get backup keys made. So two sets of backup keys for your house. Then you put those backup keys in the lock box and you don't tell them the code. Then every time they leave the house,

you lock the door and if they don't have their keys, they go, Oh, I can't find my keys. I go, do you need, do you need the backup keys? Why did I just hear myself? Walk them out. Oh, okay. Do you need the backup keys? And they go, yeah.

So you bring out the lock box and you go, beep, boop, boop, boop, beep, boop, beep. Unlocks it. Here you go. Here's your backup keys. And you be as condescending and shitty as possible. And then as soon as they walk back in the door, you go, do you have the backup keys?

And they go, yeah. You take the backup keys from them and you open it up and you put it back in the lock box and you put it away. You should do what my old apartment building did. Which was, never fucking let you in your building. Do you not have your keys? No. Well, give me $20 and I'll give you a pair of keys each time.

I prefer the lock box shaming method. That is like money spent on passive aggressiveness. Yeah. It's like, it's the shittiest, most passive aggressive form of like active shaming I've ever done of anyone in my whole life. But, since I've started to do it, no keys have been lost. Yeah, that'll do it.

But you said this happened two days ago. Yeah, no, because we left the house, I had the box and we left the house. North Korea is really low. I left the house and... You won't believe how low the crime rate is in North Korea. We were in a car and I said, do you have your keys? She said, no.

And she said, well, I locked the door. She goes, you locked the door? Like it's crazy that I locked the door. And I go, yeah. And you go, well, you're gonna have to all get home before you and then I didn't. And then when we came in, I was like, okay, I find your keys or else to bring out the lock box.

It's a perfect system. Perfect. Perfect. What else did you do? I played FF14 and I played Shadow Warrior and I played VR games. Is there anything else that I did? There's that new shit.

Did I watch anything? I feel like I did, but I can't remember. Watched more Lucha? I did watch a little bit more Lucha. That JoJo episode's really good. Highway Stars is great. Of JoJo? Yeah.

Highway Stars is great. JoJo episode of Lucha. So I just thought JoJo very briefly, like that's one of my favorite fights in the entire part. Oh, absolutely. And that's one of my favorite moments is the baby. Yeah. And they gave it what it needed.

And I'm like, please, please give it the time. And they gave it all the time. Yeah, absolutely. Oh God, like that nice float, the acknowledgement, the look, the yeah, you know I'm the fucking best. Heal it. Get back on. It's fantastic.

God, he's the best. No, I'm pretty sure that's it for my week. Hey, Willie. What up? I had a weird one. Oh, I have to go to the bathroom now. Do it. Do it.

Go. Shit. Shit your butt out. No, it's my piss. All of it. All of your butt. Yeah, I know. I had a weird one, but I also had a thank God

we live in Canada kind of week. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you did. Yeah. That can be a second. Fuck, that's true. What?

Yeah, go ahead. No, basically, like the I, there was a point last week when I had to spend about a half day. Oh, well, there's another camera behind you, Matt. There's another camera behind you. No, no, no, don't fuck with that. Don't fuck with that. That's to stop it.

No, you're ruining everything. No, and a fucking periscope you from here. Leave it, leave it. I don't fuck man. Listen, I'm doing stuff. No, stop. Why you gotta do that for? Sorry, I'm late.

So you spent an evening. I spent a half day in the hospital ER because. Oh shit, yeah, yeah. Oh no, this is the bad time. Great timing on that one. Yeah, I know, I had had a weird. That's not good. I had a weird thing where like it was like 6 a.m.

and like a alarm went off and I woke up and like I had a thing where basically every time I inhaled, I'd feel like heart burn. Like a sharp pain? Like a Kenshi road just punched you in the chest kind of like what the, you know? And it was, yeah, it was sharp. It was like razor sharp and I was like,

that's extremely unusual. Yeah. So I called, I don't know if this exists everywhere, but here we have Infosante in Quebec, which is 8-1-1. It's a health line. It is a great goddamn service. It's like, I don't want to call 9-1-1.

Maybe I don't know. Well, that's what 8-1-1's for. Yeah, should I, right? And I called them up and I was like, hey, so this is what's happening. And they're like, yeah, if it's your heart, you don't want to mess with me. Yeah, I had a similar situation a few years ago

and you call them up and you say chest pain, they're like, don't listen to me. Go to the fucker, you know, right now. No, so we did. And we went there, did an EKG. Did you get seen pretty quick? I mean, it was, yeah, because there's a big mega hospital and because of that huge big one,

everyone goes there, so no one goes to the original hospital anymore. So I went to the original one. And you're right. Exactly. So I was able to get seen pretty quickly. I was cool. They did the EKG and they're like,

oh, you know what, actually come with us. Let's check this out. Through the back and lie down on this and. Stop breathing. Yeah. And I was like, oh, well, okay, now this is getting more serious and stuff. And then there was that moment where, you know,

they're like, yeah, we did some tests. See something a little irregular. We've got to do more tests and hours and hours and hours of it and stuff. And at one point you have like, like a team of doctors standing around me, asking me questions. I know that's the panic moment where you're like,

okay, okay, hold on. Yeah. Pokey at you. And your brain is just going like, are they just going to tell me that I'm manifesting my true power? What's happening right now, right? And the cardiologist is like, yeah,

so this could be one of many things, but the short of it was that basically there was inflammation around my heart that was random. They don't know if it's going to be something that goes like probably not. So in the meantime here, I take some meds and whatever and that's fine. But while I'm waiting and doing all this stuff

and doing an literal ultrasound where I can see my heart like a baby in my, you know, like in the, that stuff was just pretty cool. I know that would freak you the fuck out, Pat, huge. I do not like that shit. You know what they fucking did to me when I went in for my heart and chest pains a few years ago? They fit me with an IV and put me in the X-ray chair

and they fucking left me there for an hour. I thought I was getting X-rayed the whole time. Wow. You know what I found out too? Apparently there was- X-rays take like a second. They do. And they did it and they did it.

They did an X-ray right there with me on the shuffer, right? And apparently there's some case where there was a guy that was getting an X-ray of his head and the room next door, the button to press the X-ray was on a table and the doctor that was supposed to do his X-ray went and started banging his nurse and her ass kept hitting the X-ray button

and she hit it so many times over the course of 20 minutes that they fucking killed the guy. That's awesome. Look what's happened next door to you. No, this is a thing that happened, but it's the most ridiculous case of malpractice I've ever done. I thought like you were watching it. Someone's booty call killed a man.

Crazy accidental malpractice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nuts. Anyway. But no, so yeah, that's what it was. And I had a lot of time to just kind of sit there. Eventually it kind of stopped happening. So I was just kind of waiting on random test results.

And so I had to find... So you were like, oh yeah, I'm fine now. I can go home. And they're like, no, no, no. Here's another blood test. You're still in here. Here's some more shit we got to figure out. What's up?

So, you know, I had time to read Saga. Volume six then. Yeah, well, I'm not done done, but I'm almost done. Is this a new volume of Saga or am I? Volume six. The blue one. The one that's not the blue one. Okay, I can get off my fucking platinum alert.

And I fucking, God damn, I know the problem is that you have to have the last volume with you to cross-reference everything you're reading. But it doesn't, like I didn't... That one, I didn't need it. I kind of would start to read it. I'm like, yeah, they're there. And I kind of followed through it.

I forgot about the time jump. And that threw me way the fuck off. So, you know, I'm back in now and I remember, but like, they don't, I don't, do they have that thing in the comic where they're like, this is what you missed last time? No. They don't do that, right?

Not in Saga, not at all. And like, I realize that I rely on that heavily in a lot of comics that I have read, you know, where it's like, here's what you missed and stuff. Even when I was going through Mega Man. It's practical. It's like, yeah, it's just like, oh yeah, right. A quick refresher.

And then this face was that person. Cause you can cram it all in like a page. Yeah. Cause it's not like, you don't forget people in Saga, but you forget allegiances. You forget like the, and the new characters you sometimes forget like, like the, um, I guess like Mermen for lack of a better term.

Like I had kind of forgotten about them. And then when they came back, I was like, no, those guys are awesome. They're great. What's the nuance of this relationship here? What's going on? Exactly. So, um, you know, that, but still remains one of the best.

I watched, so I mean, Shen Godzela, obviously that happened, but, um, I also got to check out, there's two, two, a bunch of documentaries are popping up on Netflix now. Like ever since making a murderer. I forgot. Amanda Knox, did you watch that?

Not that one. I'm going to catch that one. Watch that. I know, I know. I forgot to mention that that was, Liam backed me up. We're, I was like, what's Amanda Knox? And my wife goes, Amanda Knox.

And I was like, and I'm like, and she got angry that I didn't know. It's just the biggest thing ever. I was like, was it? I don't even remember it, but that was a really good documentary. If you, if this seriously, who's Amanda Knox? I have no idea.

That's fine. That was your first time hearing the story than like that. It must have been interesting. But what they've done is any remotely interesting case, they've started making documentaries about this, the Jean Benet Ramsey one that everyone's talking about now as well.

I've heard about that one. Um, yeah. And that's one that everyone's heard of. But what I did go watch was who took Johnny and who took Johnny is a case of a kid that got kidnapped. And I want to say 1982, either 79 or 82, like around there, I think it was early 80s. Yeah.

And this was what makes this significant is basically like the parents trying their best to like put, to like go, can you please investigate, help me or whatever. Pat, what are you doing? I'm putting a chair together. How about assembling a chair? Do that at the end of the podcast

and just take one of the folding chairs. I put mine together. This is not a quick process. No, it's gonna take you. You will not complete it. Oh really? I won't complete this. No.

Okay. No. Well, cause the box I was sitting on became like saggy and I couldn't do it anymore. So I guess I'm gonna stand that. There's a folding chair in the living room. There is? There's two, yeah?

There should be. I brought in two. And there's Liam's on one. Oh, I didn't know that. I don't know where the other ones. Either way, you're not gonna finish this. It's gonna take a while. But you're not gonna finish it regardless.

I thought it was gonna take me like half hour. No. So we have to now edit the last half hour of that. Maybe I'm wrong, but I distinctly remember bringing two. Anyway. Yeah. Anyway. So who took Johnny?

There is one. So what makes the case interesting is that this was basically the case that happened that made everyone worried about their kids getting kidnapped because no one at the police state, no one in the area knew what the word pedophile was. How long ago was this? Early 80s.

Like it's a fresh concept. No one understood this. The idea of someone getting taken. I mean, at the time. Yeah. Like there was definitely, like there was, you know, people that got like hitchhikers that got murdered and things like that, you know, over the years and whatnot.

But like this was like no one had ever kidnapped a boy off the streets for slavery. And so the concept was just completely like what? So all the cops were like, oh, the kid ran away from home. He'll turn up. Are you saying that slavery was invented by this? No.

Yeah, exactly. And so no, and it just goes on and basically cops are just doing nothing. And the parents are trying their best to try and like go like, can someone please like, look into it to the point where someone comes out and goes like, hey, I have info about it. There's a whole ring of crazy pedos

that like totally takes kids and it's a whole thing. It's a thing now? And the cops are like, yeah. That's not a thing. Yeah, it's super fucked. Cause it's just, it's just so early that no one knows what to do. They're like, is this really a thing?

It's middle America somewhere, you know? So yeah, and it's just like, it's fucked, you know? Yeah, it sounds pretty miserable, yeah. But it's a good watch. And it's the thing that makes like, you makes you go, that's when kids stopped playing outside and parents became overprotective of like, where's my son?

Where's he now? Where it's like, you know what I mean? Like that was the turning point of like, just let your kids roam out in the woods till like fucking nine PM and then come back on their bikes or whatever, stranger things. Or you know what I mean? So you're saying this created stranger danger.

This created stranger danger. This was the case that like, brought it to the forefront. What year was this, I'm sorry? Early 80s, I think it was 82, yeah. So worth a watch for sure. And then things actually, there's a bit of a, not a twist, but there's more revealed about. I'm still catching up.

I haven't touched that one. And I'm still, I still have to watch the Fred Durst one. But if you're in the mood for something that- I wish there was a documentary about Fred Durst. If you're in the mood for something that is not super fucked and like depressing in that way. You can watch searching. I think it's called searching for General Tau.

Oh yeah. In search of General Tau. Yeah, I think I talked about this like months and months ago. That thing, you will not order General Tau after watching this. I'm remembering the trailer and it made me very hungry. Salivating. It does, it does.

This is, this documentary is awesome. In search of the person it's named after. What's the deal with this general? Why is it called that? Was he even a general? Did he even exist? How do you even pronounce this name? Right.

And it's, yeah, it's the full breakdown. What happens when the guy goes to China and starts showing like Chinese natives like what General Tau is? What do they do? Yeah, yeah, just like, what? It's like, it's Japanese people staring at the Xbox. Oh.

What's an Xbox? Yeah, what's an Xbox? Or just like- What is this green box? Pointing at that we laughing, you know. It was super goofy. They're like, that looks disgusting. Yeah, yeah, no, they're not having it.

So yeah, and I mean, whatever. It's just about food, man, what are you gonna say? That's fun stuff. Well, do you mind if we take a five minute break? We can take a five minute break, yeah. I would appreciate that very much. All right, we'll be back in five minutes, folks. We're taking a little break.

Sorry about that, folks. We're back. Oh, oh! I meant to shoot it over there. It's completely messed up. All right, hold on. Throw it back. I bet I can get it over Liam's head.

Did that go in? Oh, fuck! All right, we're coming back. Yeah, I fucking did it. I fucking did it. And we're back. Yeah, we're back. Unfortunately, we don't have our penises out.

No, I saw a lot of people asking for that. Alternatively, Harambe's spirit will not be sated. No, and you didn't build that chair wall. No. I have the instructions, and yeah, that chair's gonna take some doing. Yeah, I had to come in and do this. It took a bit.

I'll stay afterwards. Oh, you know. Do your work. Stay after class. Do your job. Do your work job. Because now my butt sits on something hard, and I wanted to sit on something soft.

That's unusual for you. Yeah, I know, yeah. What was even? No one took any pleasure in that joke. I think we were just polishing off. I think we were just polishing off all the weeks there. Yeah. I think you were just...

You ate a bunch of general towel, then kidnapped children. You watched a documentary about some scary ass shit, and then you watched some food. Yeah, yeah, that's fine. That's a bummer. You kidnapped a bunch of general towel. Yeah, yeah.

So what happened? And, you know, overwatched, like, what are you gonna say, like, the Halloween things. Did you get your Mercy skin? I didn't get that one, but I got all the other ones I wanted. What's the best one? It's the Mercy skin.

Mercy skin's the best one, by far. Yeah, I think it's hot. So, Jankenstein is right up there, too. It's Reaper, because it's the most Halloween-y of all. Yeah, it is, it is Halloween-y. For your purpose. You're a Halloween-y. I wish I was Halloween-y.

Yeah. I just think that's the best one, because it exemplifies the month the best. The new intros are fucking fantastic. Did you see the X gonna give it to you? There's a highlight reel of all the, like, distorted music. Door gets kicked open.

Okay. Somebody once told me. Time to tell me. Yeah, like, they've done all of them. All right, all right, just a good show. Yeah, they're great. And you know what? If you haven't played overwatch in a while,

go boot it up and play that new brawl, Jankenstein's Revenge. It's really fun. It's PvE, and it's the best brawl they've ever made. It's PvE. PvE. Like, it barely even fucking counts as a brawl, because when I think about the brawls,

it's like, well, they're multiplayer matches with rules. With mods, yeah. This is not even that. This is like a completely different thing. I was actually surprised when I saw it. It overlapped the brawl. It's a piece of content. Yeah, like, it's fucking great.

It's so cool that it should not go away after this month. Nope. No, it should not. That should be a mode. That should be something there, yes. Some kind of Ford mode. But TF2 a long time to keep it as a standard. Apparently, Horde in Gears 3 is pretty good.

Horde in Gears 4. Gears 3 is pretty old. But TF2 has Horde as well. Yeah, with robots. There you go. Yeah, man, I mean, you've got your in-depth training, and you've got play versus AI with other people online. You know what that should be called?

It should be called Play Eye. That was terrible. Should feel bad. Is there news this week? There is news this week. You mind if I jump into a piece of news that segues with a part of my week I forgot to talk about? Well, we can.

I did want to ask if the screening that we saw of Godzilla was Shin Gojira. That's a one-time thing that is not going to be in theaters here in North America regularly, right? No, it's like each theater can choose either to have one day or one screening every couple of days. So I think I have to look it up. I think Montreal has one more screening.

That's one time. Oh, so there will be another way to go see it? Well, I don't know if it's for every theater that it's all playing it. I just know our theater here in Montreal. They're very limited. They only have two screenings, and I believe the next one's on the 24th.

But for all intents and purposes, this is a Japanese movie. It's called A Limited Engagement. Yeah, of course. Same as all the Funimation stuff when they have the DBZ movies play here, when they had Trigun or Madoka playing like one or two showings. It's still Funimation.

It's the same deal, you know? Because I would love to see it again in IMAX or something crazy like that if there's a whole thing. None of it has an IMAX movie. I was going to say, did it even get recorded in a format? Well, that's why I was asking if this was going to like. Well, some IMAX movies aren't recorded in IMAX. No, you're right.

They still do it anyway. I saw Crouch and Tiger hitting Dragon in IMAX. You're right. It's fucking stupid. That's, yeah, that's a weird one. It's all stretched and pixelated. That got a TV show, too. Yeah, that shitty Netflix show.

And I had found out what a fucking bummer. You can use up to 167 minutes of film when you film in IMAX, so there you go. Yeah, there's a hard limit. That's why Dark Knight had some scenes in IMAX and some scenes that weren't. Incredible. Why is that?

It's a physical limit. The size of the actual real. They're heavy. Traditional Academy. It's just too big. It's a big, heavy thing. And I believe in, what was it, Inception or so? It's like they actually removed two minutes from that version

by making the credits appear differently to fit into the time they had. Because it's like you still don't have fucking time to film. It's a really fascinating thing that like films have like physical dimensional limitations. Like listen. What's your creepy news? My creepy news?

It's not that creepy, but it's part of my week that I did not talk about because I forgot. Did you buy your bunny socks? No, I did not. No, I don't support blackface. But. You know, it's going to come out one day. No, the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest was this week

and I caught up on the news. The biggest news is that Stormblood is in fact not a mobile game. It is the expansion. And by far the biggest news about that is they are fully dropping PS3 support for that game, one that expansion drops. And I believe that's going to entail

like you can't even play the game at all anymore on a PS3. Really? Because that sounds nuts. Yes. That seems like. As a result, however, there is going to be a free campaign to upgrade your copy from PS3 to PS4 for free from, I think it starts in a couple days on the 17th,

all the way until the, like I think maybe a month after the expansion is released. I mean, that's a good benefit. The reason, the reason being is like a lot of the stuff that limits the PS3 stuff is like, we want to increase inventory space. We want to do stuff like that. And you can't have those two things coexisting because shit

would probably break. The game already kind of breaks when you're a PS3 player. Like monsters don't spawn in properly in some instances because it can't load it fast enough. Looks cool. It's going to be in a place called Alamego. If you are savvy about the story, you already know who the characters in that trailer are.

But PS3 support drop is by far the biggest because like Yoshi P announced it on stage and he looks like scared talking about it because the Japanese population has a significantly higher amount of PS3 users. Yeah. And in the past, like FF11 had PS2 support for like nine years. And yeah, it kind of fucked that game up in some ways. And when the crowd cheers for it, like by far the loudest,

like he looks like visibly relieved. Like everybody looks like fucking thank God. So looking forward to that and looking forward to getting the game get better, the budget for this game is three times as much as their old as heaven's word. According to Yoshi P? Yeah. No, according to Square's financials,

like their investor relations. For blood, whatever. Yeah. For blood, whatever. Bone storm. Bone storm. I wish. Oh, wouldn't that be the best if it was just called Bone Storm?

Yep. But I guess I guess Bone Storm's taken. But you know, that's that's exciting. It's not real. If you want to know more about it, whatever, just go to the FF14 reddit and there's a guy who has the breakdown and fucking everything. That's it.

That's all I wanted. StormVlog got announced. Looks cool. Monks fucking creepy story. It is cool. It's not creepy. Right on. That game has been actively limited in a lot of ways.

It's creepy that it's not called Bone Storm. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure if you overheard me, but I said, I'll fucking play FF. Well, the thing is, is it? I bet they actually wanted to call it Blood Storm, but that's a game that's real and exists. That's real.

They should call it Bone Storm, Blood Storm 2. Yeah. Yeah. Is that right? Bone Storm, Blood Storm 2, Bone Academy. Bone Academy. All right, let's get to some news people care about that aren't me. I read Dead Redemption 2.

Yeah. Literally got confirmed a few minutes ago. Minutes? Yeah. Oh, that means well, I didn't see this. Oh, and woolly, it was on the docket this morning. That's our new film. No, no, but it's been rumored.

That's yeah, because they were teasing stuff. There's teasing, but the actual confirmation, yes, there will be a sequel is now like 10 minutes ago. Give me a minute. I got to check my phone. I'm interested too. I like read that. Redemption.

My brain just keeps going, bone saw is ready. No, bone saw is different. It is different. It is different. Where it at? All right. One day, I hope I can beat a Red Dead game. Yeah, where it at though?

Oh, you never beat Red Dead Redemption. I put 20 hours into it and someone said like. That's about halfway. That game's so good. It's a great game. But I was like, I got to know. I got to do what you have to do. Other suddenly play shittier games.

Yeah. Why is this back when it came out? I know. Where's the announcement at? I can't find it. I don't know. I'll just do all these. There's going to be a check.

There's actually a thing. That's a liar. There's a big write up on it. No, no, no. It's on the docket. And there's a lot of teases for it. Eurogamer has a write up on it. OK, thanks, Eurogamer.

So if you take a look. Thank you. You will see it. Yeah, they've been. Well, they were like this four quids out of chips. They were. They were teasing images that were like not just a red sunny background.

Yeah. And then eventually they showed something that looks kind of like kind of like the Magnificent Seven. Yes, cowboys, right? But cowboys walking around and shit. You're posse. And then they were like, OK, no, we're pretty much going to start talking about it now.

It's pretty cool. Let me only pull that up. Yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah, I don't see any too, though. I yeah, it's still teasing. But you know what it is. I don't know. I just got all these messages that said red dead.

You finally. It's it's it's like remember when I was all confident and shit about Berserk Mousseau being the thing, even though all it had was like a fucking shitty teaser. It sucks. You're wrong about that. I know this is like that. Put way more over.

There is no no ambiguity whatsoever that it's red dead, too. Yeah, that's why I say New York's title. Just I'm looking and I'm seeing people in the comments who are looking and nobody like. Yeah, like like that. This is this is all there is. They tweeted the red R and then the image of this of the men standing on the on the horizon.

Yeah. And then after that, there is pretty much like more and more little bits and pieces that leaked out and stuff. But how will they be able to finish this game without the Benz? What? It's part of their lawsuit. The Benz.

You didn't you didn't read up on that stuff. I don't think there's a guy who's suing them for one hundred fifty million dollars saying he was instrumental in a bunch of these games coming out is something something Benz. That and there's a fucking there's a fucking there's a fucking email from how's they're going to come in. We need your help. We need the Benz to help the game to save the game over the

name. I thought you were talking about like radio head or no. No, no, no, no, we need the Benz. The Benz need that Benz douchey. Yeah, it was like Rockstar never would have shipped a game without me. It's very fucking douchey. Yeah.

Anyway, they're teasing that. And that's that's awesome. If Red Dead's great. If there's actually seven like characters playable or something like that, like just to follow along with that imagery, that'd be a fun was liable to be co-op. Oh, yeah. Well, had co-op.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I think I get a terrible, but I think they're liable to renew it and give it another go. Yeah. Hmm. Makes sense to me. And like that's what I think when I see the seven characters

walking like that. And Rockstar hasn't announced anything in a long time. OK, other than the online deal, Fido Rules is the one that literally wrote to me for the live podcast you were doing. So I'm throwing him under the bus if he's not right. Yeah, Fido Rules Red Dead Redemption 2 confirmed daily star dot co dot UK that the daily star. I don't know.

UK tabloids are all a bunch of rags. Gaming. Anyway, anyway, it's a thing. Throw that Fido daily under the bus. It's a thing. There is a new Red Dead something coming out. Absolutely. Yeah.

Red Dead Redemption 2 confirmed Rockstar teases the new video game for PS4, Xbox One and PC. But their source is the leak. Their source is the teases. You know, they write confirmed. Yeah, but they're just seeing that. People in Europe lie. I can't see.

No, for sure. But, you know, read between the lines. Yeah, the lines are the chips and there's the fish is there. Yeah. Britain. Anyway, there's the Red Dead. You can absolutely. You got there.

Fuck. You got there by Fido rules. Fuck you for having the audacity to laugh at my fucking terrible joke. That that empowers me in a way that I don't deserve. No, because it's the third time around the stupid fish and chip shit. Yeah, because England's fucking.

They like fish. It's all right. They like to chip it. Also can. It's about right. No, can I? No, there's no way to. No way to segue into this.

No, I can't. All right. I can't really segue into it. All right. But it's fine. All you really need to know is they started telling you showing off these World of Resident Evil 7 videos.

All these videos are so short, you wouldn't even be able to finish your fish and chips while watching them. There you go. There's nothing to do with the resident evil. Yeah. The first one is pretty much nothing. It's just the guy answering the phone.

Yeah, that's a tie-in to some of the hints that was in the demo. But that one, that one. The shotgun. The shotgun one. That one is interesting because that is the. That one actually has footage of a shotgun being pulled out of a magical item box.

And what if it's inventory and everything? You see the classic ass grid inventory. You have 12 slots, more than usual. But that alone completely sold me on this game. Because because they said we're going back to basics, the root of that fucking shit that everyone always fucking says. But it's like, show me.

But that highly restrictive inventory combined with a magic box says that that might as well just be a first person resident evil one. I want you to say, and that magic inventory combined with a magic box, to me, means grounded. Realist. Grounded reality. Traditional resident evil.

Well, because the biggest complaint I've had about RE7 is a complaint I've mainly talked to Liam about. It's like, show me the fucking game. Both the demo and the long visual demo they gave out that was being stocked in a house. These are not representative of most of the gameplay in the game. This is just a taste of the atmosphere.

Like, tell me what the fucking game. Show me what it is. And then this, they show a shotgun taken out of box. That's what resident evil is. That's what resident evil is. I really hope they're able to address the, like, are the enemies actually biohazards though? They are.

They are all biohazards. What are the ghosts? They are biohazards. I mean, I'm intrigued to see that work. In Canon, there are enemies that can turn invisible as bio weapons. Yes, there are. There absolutely are.

There's your straight in. Pat, did you see that interview that they gave? No. Were they confirmed that it's a series of curses that have affected most of the enemies and that the curse train will crash through the house towards the climax of the game, releasing all of the curses. He's doing that shitstorm thing here.

All over Raccoon. Where he's saying curse instead of biogenic thing. Videos three through. I need to show you that part of the shitstorm where he died. I just started throwing. Is that extermination? Where I get super pissed? Where just everything gets thrown under the bus

under curses. It's like these fucking bug thing enemies. He's like, oh, no, they're cursed, but ghosts asshole. When Pat's like, what curse? Like a thinner? Yeah. I'm the fucking bus. Just cast thinner on a bus.

Every time you feel hungry. It's a curse. Melts magic thinner. Fucking works every time. The tummy. It hurts. I need food. I've been cursed.

It's a curse. Exclamation mark, cursed, fucking stupid. Curse broken. Yeah. Anyway, sorry. God, I lost my train of thought. It's fine. I guess you do something like this.

No, no, yeah. Resident Evil 7. Yeah, I was just going to say, videos three through 19 should just be various reload animations for different guns. That's all I want to see. If they had the fucking first rifle from R's 4, and all you could do with it was reload would be the best.

Yes, you seem to be chuckle fucking. I forgot that this is a live podcast that my girlfriend can like watch. So like, I told her that I got the lock box for like putting my passport in and doing shit like that. You fucking idiot. And I got a message on my phone just now. It's like, did you just buy that to fuck with me with the keys?

And now I'm in shit. Well-deserved. Ah, that's my whatever. All right. Hey, make mistake. Just say it was a curse. It was a curse. It was a big curse.

You got a curse. You lose your keys. I got a curse to my shit. It was a curse. Everybody got cursed. It was like, oh, big curse. No one's fault. Oopsy.

Let's all agree it was a curse. Where did all that Kickstarter money go? It's a curse. I had the money. I had it. Someone cursed me. And then the son told me not to use it, and it cursed me. This is the age of curse.

Oh, boy. The money was cursed. I had to get rid of it. Did you see that news story with the Hello Games office? People went by, and they looked in. Yeah, and they found all those curses. Now to be fair, that roadmap of that game makes me do suspect a curse.

Makes you do suspect it. Yeah, a Jeff Kealy curse. Now, there was that one guy that works in. He's a developer for something, and he was like, say what you will, but the curse is a real, bro. The actual creature generation tech in this game is amazing, and this engine needs to get in the hands of a bigger studio with more people on it, because if you

start looking at the code, not the code, but the way it handles its assets. Well, I mean, I remember we spoke about that a few weeks after it came out. Yeah, everything's fucking there, except for more stuff to do, but it works. I played it, it works. I mean, it works.

Like, we don't know if he's going to actually let people use it or not. Well, no, for why? For what reason? So they can also make a game with a bunch of planets and stuff on it? Would it have to be that? Like, well, who's to say the engines?

They didn't build Unreal 4. They didn't build Unity. It's not made for you to make any game in it. They built a custom engine for their planet-to-planet game, right? Yeah, you're right. Like, it's, you know. I mean, who's going to want to work on a cursed engine?

I don't know, man. No one. When you boot it up for the first time and it says cursed, this engine is cursed. And you feel like twice as tired as when you started the day and you're just like, oh, my hit points. I probably shouldn't have installed the curse. That's what happened to you, Willie.

You get a little Norton pop up, your computer may be cursed. No, you don't know. So you're at your PC. You're at T-Mirror. You get to do a cursed scan now. You get a phone call from a guy who's like, excuse me, I'm from the Microsoft Anti-Cursed Division. It appears that your PC is cursed.

You're going to have to give me remote desktop access and your passwords in order to remove this curse for you. Are there any crucifixes on the wall in the room with your computer? You're over. Cursed equals very yes. By the way, Willie Madden, sir, we don't know what really caused that heart thing.

Here's your curse. Here's your curse. That would explain it. That would explain everything. It was a big curse. He's like, I should have ran over that gypsy. I mean, truth be told, I was like, yeah, that'll do it. That'll get cursed by that.

I was hoping that it was. Sorry, I'm just laughing about curses. I was hoping that it was a battle wedding ring for a date with pillar men to put them in the field. You fucking wish. But that's not what it was. That's not a curse. It's the best kind of curse.

It's kind of a curse. It's pretty close to a curse. It's like a bond. Proto curse. But it'll kill you. Yeah. So it's not really a good bond. See that little comic where there's someone talking to

Araki and they're like, yeah, right, thank you. So Lisa Lisa is young because she uses Hamon. Right. Yes, that's right. So what the fuck about Joseph? Does Joseph use Hamon? Yes, that's true. Well, then should he also be young?

And he goes, yes, that makes very much sense. Well, then how come he's not? No, he is old man. Don't question Sensei. If he doesn't want to use Hamon on himself, that's his choice. I just love no. He is old man. He doesn't need to artificially extend his life.

Wait a second, I thought Act 3 frees froze objects, but now it can freeze spaces. What's up with that? Shut up. Shut up. Well, technically it doesn't freeze anything. Stans. Stans are basically giant curses.

Well, Jotaro calls it a curse when he first gets it for the first time. But he doesn't know what it's. Oh, there's this. And he calls it a curse, which is stupid because he says this ghost gets things for me. What a horrible fucking curse. But a horrible night.

And that's bullshit because in that episode, stand ranges aren't set up. So his stand is going super far away to steal magazines and shit. Oh my god. Yeah. Oh my god. All the shit that he gets in the jail cell makes no sense because his stand range is a few meters.

His stand range is 100% in the locker. Couldn't that be in the pockets of anyone that walked by? Yeah, but the cops. There's like a radio and an RC car. I'm going to bullshit it. I'm going to bullshit it. Someone can hold in a radio. Star Platinum goes into the cop's office next door.

Yeah. And he grabs it from there. Was it there an RC car? There was all kinds of stuff. You can see lock up. Star Platinum can't go through walls. How long? And lock up.

Yeah, you can. Fuck you. We can go through walls. How long was he in the jail cell for? OK, well, he's on the exterior edge of the fucking police station, and you can see all the lock up. Star Platinum can't go that far. That's stupid.

How long was he in the jail cell for up until that point? Like a day? Maybe 48 hours. Two days. Enough people could have walked by with radios and various stuff. And RC cars. How come Cacoy never used that ability

to control people's entire bodies ever again? How come Emerald Splash misses more than it hits? How come it misses the first time it's ever used? No one can dodge an Emerald Splash. To be fair, if that first Emerald Splash hit, the manga would be over. Yeah, that'd be cool. I want to see what he had in that prison cell.

Look, he hit a lot. He starfingered, and then he used that to just grab shit. What's up with starfinger getting used once? He didn't get no. It's naming a second time. He kills Neptune with it. Yeah. Who else, ever?

He didn't kill anyone with it, but he uses it in fights. Well, it stabs right through that dude's head. Yeah, you know what I mean. He doesn't end the fights with it, but he does use it more than once. Yeah, like when? I can't remember. Yeah, that's right.

Come on. He only uses it that one time in that one situation. He has a motorcycle in that pocket. All right. He has a training bike. He has a guitar. God damn it. He has weights to bench press.

He has a personal computer from the era. He has a table. He seems to have hot coffee. He uses it. He has a small and a large RC car. Lots of books. He has a helmet. He has a little, one of them chairs.

It's a really lenient prison. He's got this lamp, too, that he affixed to his. The cops that work at that person like bringing down a lot of shit to the person. That was chapter one of Stans. So the motorcycle and the bike that that. Well, how do you get the motorcycle through the bars? He uses star finger against strength.

He does? Against forever. Really? Yeah. Because of the curse. Oh, the curse. There you go. There you go.

There you go. I guess it all did make sense. If we ever missed a scheduled video or a video is late, there's a reason for it. It's a curse. We're in the shitstorm, era of curses. Any other news? Yeah, we got some news.

Yeah, that's some news. Yeah. There should be quotations around one of those words. You want to read that? Summer lesson is releasing in Asia with English subtitles in early 2017. Did I get it right? Yeah.

Take it away, Liam. So Namco does this a lot nowadays. It's getting an Asian English release, which means Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Singapore, exactly, a region where they've spoken English for about 200 years. And thus they're all really only. And their English is not as good for that reason. What?

That's I don't think that's how that works. It is coming out in English. And I saw the trailer and there is one typo. And I guess that's fine. There's a typo in Shadow Warrior 2's fucking menu. It looks like it'll be fine. It looks like it'll be fine. We will gladly take this over nothing.

This is not Sword Art Hollow. That translation was fucking ass. That was garbage. Embarrassing. Playing Kirito's penetrating stuff when he's just attacking stuff? No, he's penetrating. He's penetrating.

Harada scared everybody by saying that maybe we're not even going to release this over here. Well, Harada originally said that Summer Lesson was just an internal demo. And the frothing demand was what made it even. Very froth, very demand. He also said at one point that doing subtitles wasn't, he wasn't sure about how subtitles would work

because VR doesn't. It seems natural, but when you've played VR stuff, like subtitles is kind of a weird idea. I would think that subtitles would either be stapled to the character or in a consistent spot on your camera. I think it'll be that as well. Because releasing things nowadays in Asia with English subtitles is code word for your US marketing

firm said, nah, brah, we're not touching this. And honestly, there are English regions over there. No, no, no, no. Yeah, that's definitely correct. But it's also a way for that if someone over on these shores wants to buy it, here's a version you can totally buy. No, and that's great. Honestly, I think Summer Lesson's going

to come out here in North America. Oh, proper? I do think it will. VR is a thing that people are enjoying. Sony's alluded to PSVR having a really good launch. Recoup some money on it. Well, they're probably already doing pretty good on it. But I don't know if I would.

I felt like it. I think it will. And I think it's shitty that everyone's like, oh, this is a super creepo game. There's nothing inherently sexual about the game at all. Did you watch our stream? I repeat my sentence. There's nothing inherently sexual about the game at all.

Did you see that thread on Gaff? I did. It's a fucking disaster. OK. So you know exactly where this is going. Absolutely. There's a thread on Gaff that popped up. And the OP is on a premise that doesn't even fucking work.

Where basically, he's insinuating that it might be worse than an overtly sexual game. Because the fact that it's not overtly sexual means that you have to go there yourself. That's goddamn nonsense. And that it's encouraging you to go there. He's implying that it's a game so that people can be creepers. And it's like, but that's not what the game is.

It's literally not that. You can't. You could. You can, sure. But you can go in Minecraft and put swastikas all over the place. You can. Yeah, but it does it like. It's not an inherent part of the game.

It's impossible to ignore that part of the game is be close to this chick. So that's one of the things. One of the comments that jumped out at me was, someone asked, how old is the girl? And I said, why does it matter? You're tutoring her. So there's no question that should adult men not tutor

high school girls? No, but they probably shouldn't get that close. Here's the thing is, I think on the real, that part of the appeal. She's the one who gets close to you. Yeah, I know. I'll point out. I think all joking aside, besides the goofy, trying to get that upskirt shot and stuff like that.

Which is apparently possible. It's an out of camera thing. It is possible, yeah. But all that aside, I think that the game is totally trying to appeal to people who want to simulate closeness to a person. Well, the trailer had the human interaction as a selling point, which is hilarious.

Yes, somewhat. So whether or not it's on that creepy level or not, it's definitely being like, if you're lonely and you want to feel like you're talking to someone, this will appeal to you in Japan. Possibly, yeah. So that part of it is still there and is still something that you can totally make fun of.

But yeah, I think that thread was kind of going a bit far. One of the bits of his premise was in the trailer. We saw this, actually, when we were playing. In the trailer, it shows the beginning of the bit where she says, me and my friends went to the pool. Here, look at this photo of it, right? Yes. And we saw that when we were playing.

And do you remember what's in the photo? It's a photo of the pool. And the guy's entire premise was like, oh, she's showing you a shot of her in her swimsuit. That's ridiculous. And you're just heaving on. That's because she holds over the phone, and then you can kind of take a look at her body or whatever.

But the shot doesn't show that all the photo is the pool. That's it. You don't see her in a swimsuit or anything like that. Like, it's really not inherent. Like, that's why the game's rated B. Like, ratings boards are a real thing for a reason. And it's not B asterisk. She cracks me up every time.

It's not B asterisk. This is actually a D. This is B. And if you're going to, like, it's a VR game. So they're not going to restrict you. Until you unlock the Venus outfit. But exactly, like, that's what the Venus outfit is. Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is that. And there's gameplay of it where they're showing,

like, breast deformation on the player's face. Oh, yeah. Like, that's what that is. But Summer Lesson is really not that. And it's like, I agree with you to a point. But I think it is naive to pretend like the creep factor is a non-factor in the creation of this game.

I think that's totally naive. It's there, but it's optional, I guess. It is. It is. It is. Because you can still. It can still be a give-up machine. It's not.

You have, like, you can be soft and still be given up. No, I'm not saying that, like, the game's intent is to creep. Yeah. I'm saying it's naive to pretend that they don't know that creep is a totally viable way to play the game. No, no, definitely. And I'm fine with that. That's the shot of her in the maid outfit in the cafe

that's in that trailer that I'm, like, just creep factor. Oh, DLC where you go to their Matsuri. Right? I mean, she's serving you food. Yeah, and there's, that line does exist. And it is, like, somewhat blurry. And Liam's, like, Liam, I mean, we disagree a little bit on, like, the creep factor of this.

But, and we're on the opposite side of that line. But, like, there are people out there that are, like, there's the, this is creepy skankzilla fucking jerk-off dick porn. That's absurd. That's fucking stupid. And then there are the others, like, it's totally, it's, like, it's 100% totally innocent if you think there's

anything untowards or whatever. Then you're the creepy freak-o. It's like, man, come on. There's a middle ground here. And the reality is this game doesn't belong in the same sentences as Criminal Girls. Oh, absolutely not. Like, and, and that, there's nothing wrong with that.

I don't like that middle ground clearly makes people on either ends of that spectrum really uncomfortable. Because there are people that don't want to admit that there's a, that they're playing a game that people are gonna use to creep on people. And there's people that don't want to admit that a certain level of creep is fine. It's fine.

It's normal even. You can put it this way where I think the percentage of people that buy this game that go, I really, really want a teaching simulator. It's very low. It's very low. I think at the base level, you can say that. Well, you know, you just play the stat.

You teach them a thing or two. Go play P4. Go, go, go, fucking tutor that game. Yeah, you play the stats game and it's more the, like the interact, like the conversations and all that are the content. It's like someone buying RE4 for the first time. It's like, I really need to learn Spanish.

Right. Very inauthentic Spanish. Yeah, actually incorrect. It's Mexican Spanish or whatever. Stereo quieto in fucking RE4? No, he's not. I'd be an awesome boss. But I don't know, like, you know, it's, it's not like her

skirt is like. No, I just said some very unique opportunities. It is on, like I will put forth that there's a creep factor that is a, is a, like a bullet point. It's not the focus point, but it certainly does. It's absolute best to turn as far away from that to, I would say, not legitimacy, but class as possible. Yeah, well, because at the end of the day, what it is, is

you're sitting in the same room as a virtual, like regular high school girl, and thus in, you know, yes, some people are going to be a creep about it, but she is. Now someone who pauses that that is somehow more insidious than just fucking tits on your face. Shit is a fucking fool. That's ridiculous. That being said, when's that coming out?

Spring. Spring. Spring, 27. No, I mean the fucking filthy ass games. Oh, DOA? No, no, not DOA. Something new. The Sleezer games.

The Sleezvest Super game. Wait for allusion. Aren't they early out, but just not on PSVR? Yeah, some Japanese ones are out. I don't know. Panman was pretty sleazy when you really get down to it. When do we get DJZ made summer lessons? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I really like Dario to just spin his Dario's Wheel of Death, and then it's stop on summer lesson, and like Trio's like groups have to get into the ring and put on the VR That's, that's. Get you get licked by Eva Lisa in VR. Yeah. Yeah, man. But yeah, I'm glad you brought up that gap thread,

because some people are insane in there. Hey, guess what? This one guy is like, this is basically a rape game. And it's like, oh, what, what, what? Sorry, what? Anyway, yeah. This is one of the, like, people can't handle the discussion of sexualization.

This is one of those things that this conversation has become so tainted that people that are like me and Liam, that have strong opinions on one side or the other, can't fucking even talk anymore. Like, it's. Because they just broke it. Because people on, people have been assholes so far on both sides.

And guess what? Me and Liam have had fights over this, and then we fucking got over it. But how many hours do you think we've talked about this? Like, 10? It took a while. Like, guess what? You don't get that from a fucking shitpost

on a message board. What you can do is fucking buy this game, when it comes out, which no matter which side you're on, you're both buying the damn thing. I'm gonna buy for sure. I'd rather have Herata be the girl. I would love if Herata was the girl. I would love if Herata was the girl.

Unironically. Just, just mull swiping. You know what? You know what? Fuck the diving. I'd take it. I want the girl to be Jim Kazama, and I want to Summer Lesson him.

Dude, wouldn't it be amazing if Tekken 7 was just that? Oh! It's just all the different characters sitting in a room. Wipe off. No, the console version gets a little Summer Lesson, like a little demo, but with Tekken characters. It would be worth it for the Hangout with Kuma alone. Absolutely.

Don't teach Kuma tricks. No, teach Kuma how to run a business. But anyways, like I was saying. A Kuma will shun Goku Satsu you in the first person. Feels a lot better when it's in the first person. No, but like I was saying, like in P4 you can get all your tutoring needs off by talking to that dumb kid.

I fucking hate that kid. He's really dumb. He's a disaster. He's really messed up. But on that note, there is not confirmation, but talks. Yeah, we see that. That was good. This is a good one.

And this is pretty solid. Well, someone's saying he has the desire to make it. Hey, director of P4A, would you like to make a Persona 5 arena? Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. I hope that like P5A comes out before the American release, of P5.

God. And like the first trailer is like, this is the villain. This is the, you know, like. It would be, it would be really, really. It's not, it's not possible. To be fair, I mean, the way this is framed, this is asking a game developer, do you want to continue working?

Yeah. Like what's he supposed to say? No. But he could have said P5 dancing all night. He could have said try to be all afternoon. Is this the guy at Atlas or is this the guy at Arksis? Yeah, it's the director of. Of Persona 5.

The director of Persona 5 or arena? P4A series director, that's a bit unclear. P4A arena and P4A arena, all Max director. I don't know where he works, yeah. Cause either that's an Atlas guy where it's like, yeah, there's a decision between games or it's an Arksis guy where it's like, what Matt said.

How about make a new Fist of the North Star Fighter? How about that too? How about making a fucking racing game? Yeah, I just, I feel like the Fist of the North Star wherever has that license. Persona 5 needs racing. Yeah. All right, actually that license kid

that people have to go up to when they want to. Persona 5 needs to be Mortal Kombat Deception where it has, there's a kart racer. It should all be live action too. There's a puzzle combat, then there's that Archon. Chest combat. And there's a big dome like. The racing.

Combat, the conquest. The racing, the sweets. They haven't done a puzzle spin off game yet. Why not get into that? They haven't. That'd be a good one. That'd be a fun one, yeah. That'd be cool.

Yeah, they can do it. I don't disagree. But also like, yeah, we also like, it's funny to try and look at these characters and go like, okay, what kind of character style would work here? Oh, not even. Yeah.

But then these are the same fuckers that wanted to make Nanako and Dojima into like fighting game characters as well. That's right. So don't even try to think. Futaba's the grappler. Cause shut up! Hotaru Futaba.

She's the best. What else we got? Probably? Don't know anything about her except her appearance. What is there to, like maybe? She likes UFOs and computers. It's hot. It's all you know.

Yep. Anyway, so I don't know if you've heard about this shit, but Gears of War 4 is out. People are buying it. That's a picture of a Gears monster with... And people are finding out that the microtransactions are out of control. The very first thing that I,

so I didn't play much of it cause I'm waiting to play it in co-op with a friend of mine. You're probably gonna play it this week. I'll be able to talk about it next week. The very first fucking thing I saw when I loaded up the game is in customization. There's this huge question exclamation point. And I click on it and say,

here's four free boxes from four different types of microtransactions you can get that are all basically loot boxes to the extreme. So this, it takes a page out of Overwatch's loot box book. Yeah. But the problem, and well, there's two problems. One, the loot they're selling is not just cosmetic. It's actually weapons that you use in horde mode.

And burn card kind of stuff or like... They are card packs. Are they usable? I mean, are they consumable? It sounds like they are. That sucks. And so basically the best ones, you could only get them through these boxes.

And secondly, the prices are ridiculous. They're bad. And you can earn them by playing normally, but like the rate that you gain is almost nothing. It also uses, instead of using the, what do you call it, Overwatch method of giving you currency if you already have it,

it uses the Hearthstone one, which is considerably more nefarious. Because that is you destroy an item you already have in order to recoup one-tenth of its value in credits or whatever the fuck it is. So unlike Overwatch where you can't do that, and all you can do is if you get a duplicate, you get a currency variant of it.

Now you have to actively destroy parts of the things you have and be go like, well, I don't want this stupid day of the dead skin or whatever the fuck it is. I want this consumable piece of fuck and then you've destroyed everything and you're left with nothing. Like I can't, because I don't have the game

and so I haven't seen the extent of it, I'm just going on this, right up on it on game right here. But like the, what it says, according to the guy who wrote this is that basically you can play through like 50 levels of horde mode, clear through and still not have enough to buy one of the basic packs.

There was a day one patch that came out that made it so that you earned a bit more and it made one of the packs cheaper, but that's, you know, but that's it. Small potatoes. So it sounds like they might be going for something a little bit. I'm not sure how current this is,

but I thought I saw an article the other day that said Gears of War, microgen's actions re-overhaul due to fan feedback. I'm not sure how they're like, oh shit, people hate this and they either. Maybe that's what that patch was, but it was just for one pack. You know what actually, you know what actually

turned me off more than anything of that. The first skin that I saw when I looked up the game was this goofy looking zombie Dom and. People like zombies. Yeah. No, but it's like this fucking goofy like, we're, you know, and all I could think of is like, wasn't that like the main character

for like multiple of your games that died in this really tragic way? Oh, not their games. Not their games. It felt like for as stupid as the sentence I'm gonna say is, it felt like tasteless for Gears of War to treat its own, like story and characters like that.

Yeah, the only thing I know about Gears of War 4 is I read. There's a new enemy. I read this amazing write up. I don't remember who did it exactly, but Microsoft let a journalist hang out with the team for like the weeks leading up to launch in studio and just write about what was happening

and how development was going and stuff. That's kind of neat. It was fucking awesome. It's really long. It's quite good. That must be a stressful time there. It seemed like it was going pretty well though, actually. Sorry, that random apropos nothing that reminds me of,

there's one of those Netflix documentaries we're talking about. The one about Anthony Wieners, apparently really hilarious because he just hangs, they get a team of people to hang around him and he embarrasses himself regularly, but just wants to like, that dude's going to fucking get the camera on him

no matter what. Yeah, get on his penis. And you watch like his, almost like his fucking marriage fall apart and he's like, yeah, don't get it on camera though. It's cool. Like so. And you just reminded me of that.

Even if your life's falling apart, if there's a camera in front of you, you can make money off of it. Yeah, but anyway, that's a bit of a shame because I feel like Gears of War 4. It seems like the game's pretty good otherwise. Well, that's the thing is like, gameplay-wise I'm hearing good things,

but like, at the same time, people were kind of stacked against it because of the premise. I certainly know we saw it and went like, were you doing Gears of War 4? Well, that interview fucking did not help. We were going to do something really cool and new, but then we decided to just do the old shit

and you're like, ah! And you know, we left opinionated alt chick wearing the armor or whatever, hot topic gear while fighting. I heard the single player is like, overall pretty weak, but the horde mode is like the best it's been. That was actually in the, in that really long expose of Rod Ferguson, right?

He's the guy in charge. He was, I think, I think anyway, he was saying that they had to kind of play it safe a little bit with the campaign because they had to build everything from scratch, you know, because of course they weren't epic, they weren't continuing with all their materials from the previous three games.

No Mecube in the locker. Somewhat like, something like that, yeah. So they had to like, since they had to build everything from scratch, they had to play it safe for the campaign, but that he alluded to the fact that like, now that they have that, that like baseline of middleware,

they wanna push for the next one. Well, it'll be just like gears one, two, three, where they improve in some other ways. Yeah, exactly. Rod Ferguson, at least they have the knowledge of those ones. I think it's Rod Ferguson, let me fuck this. But it seems, oh, did he used to work for Midway?

Possibly. Because is he the fucking asshole who has that Raiden Furgality in MK2? Oh, could be. Where the fucking guy explodes into Rod Ferguson? There's a lot of Ferguson's, but I would be surprised. Yeah, it is Rod Ferguson. That's the fucking stupidest Easter egg.

Pooh, you made me fatality. He was popular around the office. Or he told them to do it. Seems like he never worked on Mortal Kombat, but he worked on a lot of stuff. Might have been the president of Midway at the time, I feel like. So to get a little bit moving though,

because we've been running. We've been running. We've been running. I wanna look this up. Run with us. There are rumors. There are rumors. Diablo IV will be revealed at BlizzCon.

There are so many rumors. Please stop thinking about Diablo III. Let's push that away. Let's move on. The big reason why is because in the BlizzCon bag of goodies that you get, there's a D4. And it's a Diablo themed D4. Also, sorry.

No, and it actually has the date of BlizzCon marked on the markings. It's not like a usable normal D4. But like, so they're saying like, that might be a hint. Well, one of the big things of it is there's a typo on the D4, which is a fucking hard thing to do, where one of the numbers is.

114. Yeah, exactly. That's it. Also, like someone. That's not. I saw like some forever being around that the Diablo Twitter account, whatever, said, you really don't wanna.

It's gonna be a good BlizzCon this year. There was a lot of pointing towards it. And then David Prepping. I hope they take all those shitty colors out of Diablo. Yeah, me too. I hate those colors that they put in. Definitely. Fucking colors.

Yeah, so then a tweet from David Prepping basically went into Diablo as well and attaching a picture here of the Libra constellation. His, what he says really speaks volumes though, so. And then the constellation that happens during the BlizzCon. For 20 years, Diablo like games have evolved and surprised us.

I'm proud to be the advisor for the game that pushes this genre to new heights. I just wanna say something about that color thing. Yeah, what's that? That expansion level they put out, the fifth one, has a lot less overt, like poppy, saturated colors. It looks by far the best of all the levels the entire game.

Sure, I was just making a joke there. I remember when Diablo 3 was first shown and people were like, fuck all these colors. I don't agree, I never agreed with like how upset people got about that. But I do agree with the sentiment Diabla's supposed to be like dark and shitty and desaturated.

It's like depressing. Yeah, and that game looks like, it's got like a World of Warcraft color palette. It's kind of the antithesis of what Blizzard is nowadays. Which is like happy normalized art that everyone can kind of be okay with. Which was original when it first came out with World of Warcraft looking like colorful.

Super color, right? And that was pretty stand out from fantasy. But now it's kind of a bit dull and that's all they do. Unfortunately, because they were the biggest. But like that's the thing is nowadays that's a staple of what Blizzard is. That's all they do.

Because it's hard to look back now and get the proper thing of when you look back to Diablo 2 and Diablo 1 because they look like shit now. But those games are like grimy and fucked up looking. Yeah, definitely. And I really love that. It's just different, it's different. Okay, make the console versions come out

at the same time this time. Give controller support to the PC. Don't have no servers in the fucking Canada's. Give us offline play and make it shitty and fucked up and make it a slightly better Diablo game. That's all you need to do. Overall, Diablo 3 is kind of seen as like meh. But although those ultimate.

Those console versions are way better. Yeah, but by the end of it, everyone seemed pretty happy. But overall, it's not the most revered of the three. Well, the guy who Jason, whatever, is fine. Guy that quit. He quit over it. And StarCraft 2, not that it's bad or anything. It's kind of not as...

Never live up to StarCraft 1. Well, one, so like with Overwatch, I'm glad Blizzard's finally breaking out whoever placed this curse on them. Yeah, this big curse. The last... It wore the Warcraft plus the curse on them. I mean, there's Hearthstone and Hots that are doing good too.

Yeah, but... All their original stuff has been doing good. Always weirded me out about the StarCraft 2 not being received that same way because when you look at it, it looks like they really, really tried to make it. They did? In the late one as much as possible, except in 3D.

Well, the problem, woolly, is simply that it wasn't StarCraft 1. That's... And like, it's the eSports thing of like fighting games. Like, will you invent the football field every year? Well, no, actually, it's the same game forever with minor variants, right? And Korea's StarCraft scene clearly

grieves with that mentality because StarCraft 1 remains popular. But StarCraft 2... StarCraft 2 is still not as popular as Brute 1. Just patch all the new units into StarCraft 1. Well, I'm shocked. I think, was there talk of this? I feel like it is,

but I feel like I might have dreamed it where they were just, they were like, oh, we're just gonna remake StarCraft 1 and the StarCraft 2 engine. I think you theorized this. Like, you're like, it would be cool if they did that. They should. They really should.

That'd be a great game. Finish Ghost or whatever. That'd be fucking cool. I mean... I bet it's moddable to do that right now, actually. That someone's already moddable. That feels, yeah, that feels like someone's fan project that basically should be happening.

There was a Metallica game that was supposed to be... Which one is this? Cause I know several. The one that was the Car Combat one. The Car Combat one that was Mad Max-ish. That was teased on their album. Which album was it?

Probably San Anger. It was teased on San Anger and it was teased on a Twisted Metal Black, I believe, on the back of the manual. I want to say that, but I'm... No, no, no, no, no. Okay, we can only get... This was Damage, Inc.

We can only get a bit of this headline that really has it on the screen, but I thought this said the Cancel Metallica game looked like mad shit. I thought it was gonna say... Mad shit! Basically, there was a Cancel Metallica game. To be fair, it being called Damage, Inc.

is an amazing name for it. You'll never guess which studio this game leaked out of. Is this... Is that sarcastic? No, you could probably guess it. Try and guess it. Is it a known car combat studio? No, but they've been leaking recently. They've been leaking recently.

Yeah, yeah, A2M. I can just tell you. It's Climax. Oh, yeah! Climax has been black rock. Yeah, they've been leaking. A2M's been leaking. There was the Silent Hill thing

and Unseen64 put out that video about, like, canceled projects, then everything got off the ground. And one of them was Climax. There was the Harry Potter stuff before, too, yeah. One of them was Climax was working on, oh, God, what was it? Oh, they were another of the companies that were pitching another dirty Harry game.

There were several dirty Harry games all in development. Someone's got to get paid. Yeah, someone's got to get paid. Yeah, no, I mean... This is so stupid, it's a Metallica game! And it says that, like, Vigilante 8 was a big inspiration. Clearly. Vigilante 8.

The footage I'm looking at looks just like a darker, much shittier Vigilante 8. Apparently after someone at Vivendi, wow, much shittier, tried to, like, pretty much shut this down. And that's why, and Vivendi was against it after a while, they tried to resurrect it for the PSP. This was a PS2 game originally.

Yeah, well, I mean, the ISO that they got a whole love is a PS2 ISO as well, yeah. But... Not sure if it got released. Who would you play as aside from Metallica? You're just some guy, you're a wasteland. Then what the fuck is this about? I don't know.

Oh, Metallica are, like, clan leaders or something. Yeah, no, they're the Four Lords of Anger, and you have to stop them from releasing St. Anger, which will destroy the music industry. At the time, no one was to know. No, you have to destroy it before St. Anger Day. That album is terrible! Nah, it's fine now.

No, it's not. No. Invisible Kid didn't know any damn... It's fucking awesome now. Fucking terrible. No, it was really bad now, but now I think it's awesome. Wait, it's really bad now? No, it's really bad now.

Yeah, yeah, it's really bad now. It's finer with age. It's fine now. When they release the Game of the Year director's cut edition, they can call it Reload. And then when they do the HD port of that, they can call it Reloaded. Yeah.

I mean, there's already several remasters that probably have... Oh, no, no, it's Load and Reload. Load and Reload. Yeah, damn it. I'm thinking of the game, Reload. It's War Mastered. Fuck you.

Hey, what the fuck? My order for Berserk on PS4 was just canceled, saying it's not coming out. Oh, I guess you're fucked up. I'm gonna play Asia. What do you have to say about this? Did you cancel it? No, it is.

Wait, wait, wait, sorry. Did you import a Japanese copy? Yeah. It said this product is no longer coming out. No, it is. You probably just... Well, what is where is that? They got less than they thought they were gonna get,

and you were after the cutoff. Maybe they changed speaking up. I printed it like months ago. Not coming out, despite you wanting to play it soon. Yeah. Cuphead delayed to mid-2017. One day, one day my children will get to make up. So Wayford and Capybara are having a fucking

dick measuring contest on how long they can delay 2D games. Really? Wayford. Is this not Wayford? No, it's not. It's two guys. Oh. Wayford.

I thought it was Wayford for sure. It was never. OK, well, they're taking after their spirit. Wayford doesn't really kill you. No, Capybara spirit. OK, sure. Probably gonna be worth it. What can you say?

No, of course, of course. That's a big fucking delay. Looks pretty good, yeah. Mid. Someone might as well just cancel it now. Well, did you see? Someone slipped me to PewDiePie playing 20 minutes of The Lost Guardian.

That's been really confusing. Fuck me, I can't watch this. That's been really confusing, because he called that part one. But there's been no other video uploaded for a while. Well, no, he's going to upload part two when the game comes out. That's going to be the best advertising The Lost Guardian is going to get.

Yeah, probably. It is. Yeah, that'll go over a million views, no problem. That's also like, that's one of the first times it's like, OK, no, that's a reason to strive for. That's a reason to strive for like. Why are you holding up a glowing rectangle? No, I'm trying to do this quietly,

but Matt is not getting the showing up. Point it at me, point it at me. Purso is just on sale on PlayAge. Well, you got fucked. They hate you. Why didn't you tell me it was kids on PlayAge? No, the guy who made the lup called PlayAge and said. He cursed them.

And don't send it to Matt or I'll curse you. That's what happened. I know he sends me a photo. I have Berserk PS4, but I won't. No, the what's he just saying about? Cuphead. I don't know. They distracted me.

Yeah, PewDiePie getting his hands on that. If there's ever been a reason to strive for like, let's play greatness, it's so that you can get your hands on fucking the last game before it's soon. We're going to get faith in a 45. Direct to our door. And we're going to be able to play. We're going to get it in a case.

And the case will be like, this is faith in a 45. If you play it, though, it's cursed. Be warned. Why did you pick up the noise making things? He wants to be funny on the video. It's funny. It's not working. I thought it would be funny.

It's actually failing spectacularly. Well, isn't that funny in its own right? No. Everybody. Yes. Can we can we put a spotlight on on how much I didn't do. This is failing right here. What were you?

I thought we weren't going to do video bits. No, well, now we do. I have bubble wrap. You asked for this. Why would you get up and do that? I wanted to get I wanted to put I wanted to press it. How about put all that shit on the floor and let's finish the podcast. Let's finish the fucking podcast, shall we?

I just wanted to hold it. All right. All right, look. Why didn't you put the chair together yesterday? You knew we're doing this today. I thought my plan was to get here before the podcast and do it. How did that go? Very poorly.

OK, very bad. It's making sure. And I also thought it would only take me half an hour. So the best case scenario would have been me having this half done chair ready for the podcast. Well, we have we had that's why I brought my two spirit chairs. Yeah, thank you. These eventualities very kind.

If you have questions about the new office, the new format, the new what? The new secret. I want to call it the HQ. I'm going to call it. I want to call the X file. Well, you know what? You know what? We can all call it whatever the fuck we want.

Yes, you do. You know, the X files base. I've already done this. Street Fighter. Why? Why did that just? Why is that? Why? Because when someone says it out loud, it's the best. We didn't even say it that time.

You just thought about it. Yes. So your point about saying, you know, it doesn't matter. I know. The X files page. It's cubes. I bought two at fuck. I hate all those things.

So I bought two bases and funny. Each we got to get. We got to get some right behind me. Yeah, we got to put one of those posts. No, we got a nice brick wall here. Yeah, that that works really well. But like there and there, Matt's got a window. I got a little window.

So I can look at mainly just curtains. I can look all the all the X files. Figure it out, man. Yeah, shit's running. It's what OK. What if it hasn't gone down? What if the recording is going like like no. Like we're not paying attention to the fact.

Don't what if I know what if I get naked, right? And I cover myself in paint and just smear my body on the wall. God, we're fucking cursed now. That's an X file. That's an X file. That's a curse in there. That's the kind of X file you keep the X files. It's when we got this place.

No sack taps. Bag tags. Sack taps are fine. Look, whatever you want. Man, white people, huh? They're encouraged is what you're trying to say. I can't. I can't wait for the game in which you're playing a VR game

and you're a clearly white person. And Willie gets the biggest smile on his face. I'm going to get a big plaque made and put it outside this space. And it's going to say X files base. We will get rid of your curses or cause that. And it's got a picture of like some kind of horrible boil. No, it has a picture of like Sonic. Yeah.

We can put a no girls allowed sign on the belly button and do like a Berenstain Bears thing. Yeah, yeah. That's always well girls allowed. Berenstain Bears get kicked right in the dick. Yeah. Bears get cursed by the T virus. Imran asks.

Hey, man, what up? They're Super Nintendo Chalmers. I've been watching a horror movie. Oh, that's the best friends lately. And I've noticed an inevitability. Every movie will at some point explain the origin of the ghost of the monster. Absolutely. Oh, and I always end up disappointed when they do it because it makes the scary mysterious thing feel small and feeble.

Totally. Can you think of any examples of movies that have done this well that that give an origin? They give an origin, but do it well. I personally want the origin. OK, I do. We have to keep this to movies because there's some there's some good. I have I have a movie.

It should be like a villain monster. I have a movie that I'm a fan of that I think nails this perfectly. And that's the modern, the mist in which the mist rolls in and some fucking unknowables are out there getting people. And at some point they run into a military guy and he's like, this is totally our bad. And someone explains that, well, the military is being experimenting up in the mountains and they may have found a dimension

into other worlds. Oh, I know. And that's all that's given. OK. And there are some weird looking shit in that movie and that's all you need. And it tells you what it tells you what they're about, but nothing beyond their general origin. No specific, not there are ghosts from because they were killed and you got to do the teacup shit and whatever.

No, it's just like that's where they're from. Shut up. I love when the explanation is more absurd than you could ever fathom when you're watching Planet Terror. And they're like, oh, yeah, we rounded a quarter and bin Laden was there. We saw something you weren't supposed to see. And now the gas leaks out everywhere is great. There's two things.

I literally watched a movie last night that it's been on Netflix for like years and we're like, let's give a shot. Just go under the bed and it's oh, yeah, I saw clips from that. It's a movie where there's a monster under the bed. Movie never explains what the deal is. There's just two brothers that are like, yeah, we got to kill that thing under the bed. The parents are like, you crazy, you got to be a man.

Men don't sleep like on the dressers and hide from the bed. Got to whatever. And they're like, ah, then the monster comes in, they solve the problem. Like fucking kicked its ass credits. Nice. No explanation. That's what it doesn't explain. And I was fine with it. I was like, you know what, that's fine. The other one is Babadook, where Babadook is just stress.

So Babadook maybe just it's I think it's stress. Yeah, you stressed out. It's coming for you. Yeah. Yeah, but that bit at the end doesn't seem like stress. They're crazy. It's possible. If someone came in there, they saw them doing nothing. Yeah, they saw them talking to nothing. Oh, it's one of those fight club things.

Might be. Maybe. It's very ambiguous, but I like to think it's every everything in the movie could be explained is that it's not the monster. The mom's just nuts, because the mom is under a lot of stress, especially the behavior of the kid during the last sequence. No explanation for the monster and stranger things. And I was fine with that. Well, it's very similar to the best one. It's like, yeah, well, we opened up a portal and that was a bad idea to say.

Like, I mean, my interpretation was that it's like it's what it's it's the only other living being that exists. Oh, you know what, let's just get into spoilers on that. Yeah, I believe they stated it could have been a curse, but it's a big I'd have to watch season big curse. Where'd the curse come from? It came from the X file space. All right, we dear Shagadelic booty cast.

Giro go go Zeppeli here. Is it Eero or is it gyro? Which is it? Come on, we got a hero. It's not hero for sure. But in in the in all star battle, he says gyro gyro. All right, gyros are delicious. I finished Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice recently. It's a super great game with a great final case.

It's probably high above the best of the Phoenix Wright cases. However, I have a problem. The character I'm talking about is Rafe Padma Crane. She's typically a snotty rich girl. Yeah. That is consistently against you because lawyers are hated in their country. Yeah, yeah, you think that a girl like this would have a shrill girly moi voice that most anime girls have

that'd be perfect for that type of annoying character. However, when voice acting happens, she sounds like the most mature woman in her 20s ever. She's 14, by the way, totally throws me off. Have you ever met a character in a game where you wish the voice acting was different because it completely doesn't fit? Yeah, there is.

Like just a hundred foot robot golf, all of it. Complete do over. Where it didn't fit. Right. OK. There's deafening samples there. I'm going to say. Oh, I know one. Almost every single child character ever

that is clearly being voiced by a 30 year old woman pitching her voice, a 30 year old one pitching her voice. I hate it. And I don't mean 13, 18, whatever. Teenagers, that pitch thing, like the way Laura Bailey does like Risa, whatever. Fine, I can believe that. But I'm talking about like six year olds, right?

Unless children, whoever dubbed over baby rider, right? So, for example, you. Yeah, but I can't stand it. But if it was good and fit, it'd be great. No, you would never remember baby rider. You remember him because of his memorable, terrible. Yeah, but it was like Chip and Sonic. So I hate it. That's why I remember it.

Well, I love it. So if you if you don't exactly. Let's do it over here. If you can't quite grasp. That's a weird sense to say. You can't quite grasp what I mean because the rock, the good version of this is so rare. There is one example. Goten and Trunks in the dub of which,

I believe one of them is done by Laura Bailey. I might be wrong on that, but I'm pretty sure one. I always thought that sounds like I also hate what you're saying. Yeah, but those are two examples. Or I'm like, no, it can't. It can, but most of them take me out. So the two extremes of this phenomenon are whoever the fuck is voicing Nanoco and Persona 4.

Exceptions is fuck you because Nanoco is the best. No, I mean, she's she's great. But I don't like it's not a kid. It's clearly not a kid. Yeah, I'm fine with it, though. And number one with a bullet is Laura from Silent Hill 2 because that's a 10 year old girl doing that voice. I know that one of the ones I can't deal is a new

Chie voice. Oh, no. Oh, it was so much better as I played Persona 4 before. And I just can't. You also happen to play Virtue's Last Reward. Like it's not bad, but I already, you know, knew it. Yeah, your brain has like if I came in tomorrow and you sounded like a different person, I'd be like, no, he does that all the time.

Like if Matt's voice face sounded like Pat's voice face. Yeah, people had that at the beginning. But I think that because Nanoco, for me, it's like the acting skill actually makes that work. Sure. And anyone that's voiced by Sugar because. Sugar Rebecca, sugar. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, sugar. The YTV PJ because she voiced Rene on Sailor Moon.

Yeah. Yeah. And her voice actually sounds like it's a child. Like it's a sweet child voice because like something happened to her voice box when she was young. Oh, wow. OK. Yeah. I don't think Death's voice in Dark Siders 2 fits with the character that much because he's kind of raspy and sort of sarcastic. He's like, yeah, but like he looks cooler than his voice sounds.

His voice sounds like, I don't know, some variant of Joker to me. But he looks like a cool noble warrior type. So it always rubbed me the wrong way. War's voice. Great. Liam O'Brien. I think he's fantastic. Liam O'Brien is my favorite Liam. I can't think of a bad role.

Mine too. I can't think of a bad role he's ever had. Yeah. And just Death is just like, it's not terrible. Someone's going to find it. Someone's also a Huey and Riley because they're voiced by the same girl that does the Black Girl from Rugrats. Oh, she fucking kills it. Well, Huey and Riley. They have the exact tone they are perfect.

Riley is like, like, if you know the comics and then you hear them speak for the first time, it's like, like beyond me. I don't know if I've ever spoken about this, but like Riley is one of my favorite characters in anything ever. Riley is the best. I know you like Huey better, Willie. I like Huey better because he represents. He represents like a lot of what I enjoy, which is not not the talking down,

but the fact that's like have some goddamn sense people. Yeah. Hide his camcorder. Like, I appreciate that. But Riley's fucking great, right? I mean, oh, all right. He's the British. Fuck you, yuck. Moutique. Fuck the queen.

Fuck your stupid ass hairdo and fuck those shoes. Hey, it's ice. You mean that guy from all those kids movies? Like, oh, man, him saying all that shit to that little white girl in the basketball game. Oh, man, it's the fucking best. Oh, shit, I'm scared. Through a chair. Like, oh, it's best.

He's the best. I love it. Is that the problem, Charles, or is it that you're jealous of Riley because he shacks taxes cheddar to the ceiling and then he's shooting like perfect oops or whatever. He's landing those threes without taking off his tams. Negga, uh, we got one coming in from Kyle and he wants to know what you think are the best job or slash goon type enemy. I love Dwarf Geckos and I love Grunts from Halo.

Yeah, Dwarf Geckos. I'm a big fan. I like I like the frogs from MGS4. I like putties from. Yeah, you like putties. Mighty Morphin. I always hated the sound putties made. The sounds really silly. I because I played the game gear game a lot.

So they're there. There's no specific look to this and it's not from games. But there's there's an obvious air around the wrestler that's job it is to be fed to better wrestlers. There is an obvious like look, feel to them when Arjanez comes out or El Mariachi Loco comes out or a pre-crisis famous B comes out pre-crisis and you're like your job is to die in the ring for this guy to get heat. There's if your wrestler looks like someone pressed default.

Or randomized. Because randomized, you can get some stuff. You need the funny I don't know everything safe. But that just the default one and press and hammer day. Yeah, right. That guy is the guy that's always get always gets fed. Yeah, you exist so that Pentagon Jr. has somebody to break an arm and not affect the roster.

And not affect the roster at all. I love that look. I like whatever like it depends on the game. But like I always like the oblin and put whatever suffix in front of it of any Zelda game, Boblins, Bobgoblins, whatever. I always yeah, I always find that whatever game they're in. I'm like, I always think they're entertaining. They're a group.

I never feel bad about hurting and like Stalfos. Stalfos are like two, but they're a little more generic. Never feel bad about curb stomping a moblin. No, I don't. I particularly love the generic robots you kill in Vanquish. Oh, yeah. Those things are really good. Fucking cool design.

They dance and and they're terrifying when they're crawling up to you to fucking blow up the first time that happens. You don't know what's happening and the noise is going to try to shoot. Oh, I've got one from a game. And I'm sure Liam will agree. If not his favorite, it's up there is the standard generic robot from binary domain. Yeah, it's they do.

They're like they're like terminators pretty much exactly what you describe. But more human like and more emotional. They're great. They're fucking awesome. They're like fucking terminators. And they they close to it. And the game's big get is that like they blow apart real good. And these guys get all fucked up. I love it.

And last we'll take one from Donald and he wants to know, hey, Super Salad Breadsticks, I recently began playing for 14 and I came across a disturbing side story of Edda the bride. Yeah, I was taken aback by finding such a horror story in an MMO. Edda's great, isn't an exactly which isn't exactly known for that type of content in the spirit of October. What are some creepy stories you found in non horror games?

I want to point out something about Edda, because once you complete the dungeon in which she she goes nuts and becomes a ghost, she becomes a random sighting in the game world. That's neat. And there's something like a one in one thousand chance that she will spawn within your vision in the main city she's associated with phase in for two seconds and phase back out and she's in all white and like stares at you. In game, creepy past, it's fucking great.

In Pokemon X, I was like playing super late at night. And I don't know, for whatever reason, when I saw the ghost girl in that one big building, it kind of spooked me up for a second. Spooked you up. There's a there's a scene where you can go to this floor of this building and just this creepy thing will happen and anyone who knows it knows it. And it's it's spooked me out a little bit. I'd say that that early boss leading up to Matt Helms

and in No More Heroes, too, the one that's in the forest and has that ghost child that's running around in and like this. His sub story is that he burnt his parents alive or he got burnt. There's this burnt child running around in there. And even though No More Heroes is really goofy, they do do like, you know, that's the RE4 level, right? Yeah, it's the RE4 level leads up to that house. And I always felt that I was that's what I was disappointed

when Matt Helms does come out and he's just like this guy with a flamethrower and he's not his design does not belie how kind of creepy this. Well, he's a little creepy. So he's got a little doll mask, but I always felt that that was kind of like, oh, that's out of nowhere. That actually is kind of creepy. I can think of one that kind of doesn't count and one that does the the the stories that you get in Murdered Soul Suspect for the second drop on this podcast, the side stories.

Those are actually I found. Wow. There was one or two. We're actually pretty scary. And I was like, this is like more like scary than the actual game's premise. Oh, yeah. So which is not really supposed to be scary after all, right? But it still is a game. Yeah, like the boiler room one, I think was one of them.

I know the boiler room one. There was one about a hitchhiker where someone didn't pick up a hitchhiker and then they regretted it. I only really ever played the first two levels, but I do. Those side stories were pretty well done and they're scary. That's impressive. Look, it's saying you directed it. And the other thing and the other thing that's very similar to that.

Put more bugs in some of the stories that you get. You come across in a thousand years of memories in Lost Odyssey. I knew it. I knew it. Did you know it? It's hard not. Yeah, I knew it because they're very they're just like they're just like that, right? Whereas you read the story and it's like some of them are not meant to be like they're meant to cover the gamut of emotions. Yeah, right?

Because you're experiencing an immortal's memories coming back to him. There's a lot there. So there's someone about the shoes. That's a good one. Bright rain fucking stands out huge for me. I don't think I got that one. That was the the island nation where the kids were playing on the beach. And they'd like, oh, look, it's bright rain.

And it's like, oh, no, those are bullets. Those are raining down on the beach from the, you know, do you remember? No, I did not. Well, anyway, but no, those two had like I was like, this is not a scary game. But like the writing is just fucking great. There's a lot of stuff that you redownload that yet. No. Oh, OK, OK, yeah. I got a dv to accept them.

I got to get that fixed. Yeah, yeah, you do. I only breathe out one nostril. It's bullshit. What's coming up? All right, what's coming up? Should Storm continues? Omicron continues.

Does it? Oh, for now, it does. I will. I will. I will. I will take a moment. You fucking forgot, didn't you? I'll take a moment and just say that.

No, you can take this, man. We have reached a point in Omicron that we're not sure we a should continue or be can continue. But you will, right? Well, Liam, there's there's a legitimate difficulty in progressing that may be insurmountable. Matt, there's a tear on Matt's face. Yeah, I noticed that earlier.

Oh, because I yawned. That was earlier. That was earlier. Like I thought he cried because he talked about no more heroes. But I can't like. Yes, what do you have to say about this? The game has gotten. Have you attempted the? No, he has not.

The game has gotten so much worse than you could ever possibly believe it to be. I tweeted about this about an hour after it happened. Is it like a bug or a progression? Basically, it is a bug hitting progression blockers at this point. We are hitting game breaking bugs that annihilate our progress in parts of the game that are already really fucking ridiculous to get in any way. Yeah. So so we have recorded, you know, a good amount of episodes and leading up to what our investigation of going for it is.

Do fight. Yeah, we keep that best outcome might have happened. Now that we've moved locations, we'll you just got to download it and set it up. I'll come in. I'll I'll I'll I'll come in by myself if I need to just to see if it's fucking possible. If I complete it, it'll be recorded and then we'll talk over it or whatever, because it's a it's a fucking problem, right? But if I can't, then I can't if it's that bad.

Yeah, watch someone else playing it on YouTube. Yeah, the whole the whole rest of the thing is that that reboot problems. Reboot problems. Aside from that, there's we have like another some audio spikes at the end of that recording. I was like, yeah, we have like an extra like spooky one off of the game. Me and Pat took a look out. I believe it's spooky or just a little neighbor.

That's the spooky one. The other one's fucking awesome. The other one's just fucking up. I'll be next week next week. All right. I think that's it. You think Omicron's cursed? I think it's a little curse.

Oh, yeah. Big curse. Yeah. Big David curse. A lot of Chinese ghost curses. You think the robots in Detroit are cursed? Yeah. Yes. Yeah.

What are we looking forward to? I'm looking forward to keep playing my PlayStation VR. More Shadow Warrior 2, FF 14. And I'm going to try this week again and fail to get into the SMT apocalypse bandwagon. Yeah, I just want to keep playing through all the games that came out last week. I really want to I do really want to play Rise of the Tomb Raider a lot. And the World of Final Fantasy demo comes out today, Monday.

So I'm very excited to play that. Oh, look up any more about why we like know how to not there. There is another thing I'm looking forward to. I'll find out. Civ 6 comes out on Friday. Civ 6 does come out on Friday. That's true. Hopefully it has here to save.

Yeah, I'm I'd be a lot more into it. Civ 4 liked a lot. I didn't play as much as I wanted to. Civ 5 I got into. And then when I started to use televisions as computer monitors, Civ 5 has no UI options that are available. So if you run at a decent resolution, it's fucking unreadable. And I was never able to put time in now that I have a much bigger television

and it's a newer game. I expect it to be a lot easier to do and it looks great. So, yes, I would like to get into Civ. I'm looking forward to overwatch. Shout out to Black Gift. Finally hit plat aiming for aiming for diamond. Oh, see if we can get your black gift is diamond, huh? Yeah, is it?

It doesn't crash, baby. It never. I was going to say, is it a breakable thing? You went for the real thing. It's a dick. Look, it's it's a it's a turgid penis. It's a dick. It's turgid.

I'm looking forward to getting fucking through this shit. It's annoying medication that makes me feel weird. How much you got left of it? About a month. Yeah, it's going to take a minute. Can't take a minute. Yeah, yeah. That's got to check up.

That's a while. Yeah, doesn't have bad. Sir, you seem to have grown a second heart. No, but like if I have to like put like a jaggy cage on my heart to stop it from fucking, you know, like doctor, why am I lactated? Well, that's not the medication. That's just that's just that's not in fact studies here. Some kind of curse.

Yeah, big curse, big curse. All we know is that's fine. Have you eaten anything from a milk bar recently? Some sort of wear cow. Yeah, as for me, I'm I'm done here. I'm going to I'm going to try to go through until dawn, a rush of blood because I wasn't able to get everything set up and charged and ready by the time I left here today.

Since I had to clean up the fucking kitty litter apocalypse that I I got repeatedly fucked up. I got to try and buy that. I bought too many VR games at once through my PayPal for the VR. And now and now my fucking PSN account won't put through charges. Really? I think it thinks that I hacked my own account. So I'm going to have to completely reset up my PayPal shit with it.

And I couldn't get Thumper and rush of blood. Those are the last two of that. Yeah, bummer. I mean, you can get rush of blood on the way home if you grab a diss. I'm not going to grab a diss. You can't get it at E.B. Games. I had it sold out on there. I was blank.

Nuts I didn't expect. I didn't expect it. I went I went. I said they got lower stock than they thought. But like, oh, yeah, FYI, I went to buy some Halloween Overwatch boxes and well, well, are they running out? Yeah, they're running low. Could you imagine?

So the processing was happening and then we jumped into game. And it was like, oh, oh, what just happened? What happens now? And nothing came through. But then when I went back afterwards, like the whole the whole shop was frozen up and fucked. So be wary about shopping while cued. Yeah. Yeah.

I too got most of what I wanted in 24 boxes. OK, good. I'm only going to buy boxes on the last day. That's my promise to myself. Always the smart man had it that Pat may have jumped on to play a comp game or two and maybe buy some boxes. I played a comp game or two and I earned two boxes. OK, but how do you pronounce that word?

Comp game. No, before that. Boxes started with a year. Oh, yeah. I earn them. Wait, you can. I thought you could only buy. There's a there's a big difference now.

And it's something we didn't talk about. But while it isn't a perfect solution, it's within reasonableness now. You can now buy costumes with buy them. I have eleven thousand coins. I could just buy everything I want. It cost three thousand. One is way too much.

Yes, way too much. But that's way fucking better than never. No, it's better than nothing. But I still feel like it's not a welcome to the world of microtransactions, I guess. Oh, yeah, that's why I'm not buying them. And that's like why I've been pushed away from the game so much, honestly.

But but but on a basic level, like if there is a costume that you really want, those people can now go get that. Like I got all you can get it. I got all the mega one I want, you know, but like the element of pure randomness is removed. Oh, yeah, for sure. The good of where you never get out. It's just grind if you got really unlucky in the summer boxes,

you could have bought infinite ones and not gotten like I got all the three thousand dollar costumes in the thing. And then with the money I made from duplicates and whatever from the twenty four boxes, I just bought the cheap costumes that I actually wanted more anyway. Yeah, seventy six and Farrah because I was like, well, those are totally and it looks like Dormammu. Yeah, sorry.

And it looks like Dormammu. She's awesome. Yeah. Reinhardt's got the glowing ghost man. And so and Hanzo says you're already dead. Yeah, I got that one. Fucking good. That's great. And I also want to play Shadow Warrior, too, as well.

Going to. It's a good game. It's a good game player. I'm not sure how much I want to like actually go forward with with multiple also also make sure to continually stare at my shrinkwrap copy of WWE 2K17. There you go. Why shrinkwrap? Because I don't want to play it. Oh, that's fun.

I can confirm that we're already on the character select shop. Of course we are. So that's of course. Because I'm not sure you guys saw, but I was like, man, this is the same shitty game again and the same buggy mess. And some people came at me going, is it? But like, have you even played it? Did you see if there's any bugs?

Yeah, sure. There are bugs before. And then someone literally re quotes me of the dumbest bug happening in a mode that's only exclusive to WWE 2K17, the backstage brawling thing or two women Russers just throw one down the hallway and she just ping bombs down the fucking hallway. It's the same fucking shit every year. Every year. I'm so fucking tired of it.

Perfect. Anyway. All right, I'd say we've done it. Yeah, podcast. This wasn't a huge disaster. This is our first live podcast. It worked out really well, I think. Did you I enjoyed it? Yeah. Think it went OK?

I do. I don't curse at all. I hope the people who helped help the people at home who watched it live had fun. Yep. And if you didn't watch it live, enjoy your bus ride or or whatever, or shitty job that you work at. I'm not going to lie. I work to nine to five to nine to five is the worst.

My brain, most people work for the last nine hours. I did, too, has been fucking bouncing all around because the idea of handling the shots and the websites and listening and trying to actually still engage in stuff and be a part of it. I understand now why a lot of the podcasts have someone to do that shit. But I think it worked out OK.

It worked out OK. But, Willie, you could have had a flash. Shorty right here could have a big booty bitch over there. You could have that. You could have the whole time. You see that? You see titties and then you get close. Titties made up a little titties.

Landmate titties right there. DJC made.
