Starting point is 00:00:00 You can't have my shirt. You can't have my shirt. You can't have access to your shirt. Can people hear this? People can now hear this. Oh, okay. I wanted Woolie's shirt. You can't have it.
Starting point is 00:00:25 It's mine. Damn it. He's right. The whole thing was, Woolie, I like that shirt, because I like rare, but I like rare more than you. I should have that shirt. So give me that shirt. And I'm trying to tell Woolie that he needs to take a shirt off and give it to Matt.
Starting point is 00:00:37 And I said it would be appreciated. And Woolie isn't taking a shirt off. Is this jail? Are we in jail now? Is it at the point where people are like, Oh, we got bricks and stuff. I like them shoes. Give me them shoes, boy.
Starting point is 00:00:50 And some of our windows are barred up. Well, no, but that depends whether or not you like shoes more than the other guy. Yeah. And it doesn't depend on whether or where your pecking order is. No. If I ask for your shirt. If you like Matt's hat more than Matt liked his own hat, you should have it. Ah, OK.
Starting point is 00:01:05 I'll write this rule down for future t-shirts that you guys wear. Yeah. Merchandise and memorabilia. Well, no, no, no. Now it doesn't apply to you because you already, you backed out of the social contract by not giving Matt the shirt. And it's not everything, it's just things we want. So I'll start with your metal gear toy.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Give me that shit. OK, wait. You can have this shirt. I would, but I don't feel like you should. So you need to take your shirt off right now and give it to him to prove that you're willing to embark on this, this contract. Well, remember, you have to, you have to want it more than me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:42 But you didn't buy it. So that means I wanted it more. So he bought that shirt. I didn't know it existed until today. Yeah. So if you know it exists, you can't do it. So now that you're, I know that. I'm trying to keep our stream online, so I'm not going to pull my shirt off.
Starting point is 00:01:57 All right. You know, I think you don't want the titty warnings. It would be in our best interest to not blind all of our viewers, especially in this awesome new future of infinite. Yeah. Oh, infinite. No one wants to see the Tata burgers once infinite. Before.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Before. Oh, no, no, no. Everybody shut up. Shut up. Everybody shut up. I know. Okay. Do some housekeeping.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Make it fucking quick. Liam's flight, uh, it touches down after the podcast, so he can't be here today. Yeah. Much like all of my previous flights. Yeah. Great. Just happened. That's important.
Starting point is 00:02:39 If you are asking when Marvel is, y'all motherfuckers need to get updated because it's infinite. Marvel never stopped. Marvel has now started at the beginning and it is now going until the end and that's looping into a fucking Mugen symbol because it keeps on going. Now, to be serious, how do you feel that that, that, that infinite symbol is like in tilted perspective perspective because why not? It looks dynamic. It looks a lot better than Marvel three's logo.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I like it a lot better than Marvel three's logo. Of course you do. Why would you even need to say that Marvel three had one of the worst logos ever. Marvel is alive. It is alive. He's kicking. It is a soft reboot. It's great.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Your, your mic cable got a little fangled up. It's fine. Hey, woolly. It's fine. Not only is Marvel alive, but, but finally decided to make a good Marvel game and take out assists. So your brain couldn't handle the simple mechanic of having an attack on a slight delay. No, it's not that I couldn't handle it.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I don't like it. It's very useful. It's very good. You got swing of it. I remember we talked about Tatsunoko versus Capcom and that game is basically a sequel to Tatsunoko. Right. Tats versus caps.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Call it a game. I said, boy, I wish the new next game was more like this because assists are garbage. It's not a sequel to Tatsunoko. It's a sequel of the franchise back to the two V two. Yeah. Right. Yeah. That's the thing is a lot of people seem to forget.
Starting point is 00:04:14 They're like, oh, no, that's what happened in Marvel two, a lot of all the other written on, not all the other versus games, but many of them were all X-men versus Street Fighter side. The mass majority of versus games were two. Did you just say the mass majority? No. He said the mass majority. I would like you to start then calling it the mass majority.
Starting point is 00:04:34 No. No. He said mass majority. He said a real term that exists. The majority. No. Can you say vast or you can say mass? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:43 No, mast. Mast majority. Yeah. Okay. I like it. Now, now the thing is, X-men versus Street Fighter, Marvel versus Street Fighter, Marvel versus Capcom, Tatsunoko versus Capcom, and then that's all two V two. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Right. And then you throw in. Literally only three versus two and three, and you know, ultimate. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. That's three of characters. So they had really good justification for dialing back on that to two V two.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Yeah. Because when it came down to it in the final state of the game, one of your characters was just an assist pick. Right? There was no real, you had to have someone that you could fight with. Why'd you pick Dr. Doom? You hate Dr. Doom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Well, his rocks are good. But you had to have someone that you could fight with when Push came to shove, but at the end it was an assist pick for a really good touch of death combo. Now they kind of thought like, well, if you're doing that, you're more or less not really having a character. It's more of a strategic pick, you know, in the same way that KOF had strikers. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:48 So why not just do gems slide, not, but not gems like Infinity Stones. Yeah. I fucking, I fucking sorry. I rolled my eyes when people are like, oh my God, it's like this shitty gem from Cross Day. Oh my God. Hey, self-proclaimed Marvel fans and actual Marvel players. Do you not remember this little game called Marvel Superheroes?
Starting point is 00:06:08 There's a lot of young people out there that weren't around for that. There's a lot of... Dude, the fucking players I was seeing talking online are fucking older than me in some cases. But there's a lot of people that straight up like only caught on to the hype when it was at the MVCT era. Marvel Superheroes had gems, they were temporary buffs you could get, and as soon as I saw there'd be a gem system, I said, it's just a toned down X-Factor. So what you have here is a...
Starting point is 00:06:37 It's not even gems from MSH in the same way because you don't get multiple throughout the fight. No, and they're not little items. You get one. You pick one. It is what you choose and it's one of the Infinity Gems and you actually apply just that mechanic to your character. And they likened it more to grooves, they said in an air view.
Starting point is 00:06:54 They're like, it's more like grooves than how you feel because there were six grooves overall. And guess what? Grooves are the shit. What you're doing here is you replace your third assist character with what you want your stone to be and that kind of lets you extend your combos and or do something defensive in the same way. Yeah, time seems to have some teleport mechanics or extra speed.
Starting point is 00:07:12 In the same way that a good assist would come out and do something for you. Mine will probably give you free meter, you know, whatever. Yeah, what the fuck is mine going to do? Well, mine used to do. It's going to be free meter. What it used to do? I don't know. I believe it was after images like Ginnagin.
Starting point is 00:07:26 It's like the screws with the layer. No, no, no. Like Ginnagin. Three hits become for one, you know, that's that'll be a big combo center, but the scaling usually should maintain that stuff. But in either case, yeah, man. So you see that you see Captain Marvel. You see fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:07:44 It's dope. And I like you better have the undercut as an alternate costume, probably, right? Because the thing and they have a couple of like people to choose from. But yeah, I think they're going to have that. And when she goes into like her level three, you see the Cree uniform come on. So that's pretty cool. Um, the X reveal, of course, is the first thing they waste no time getting right on to the right word because there's the logo and then frame one of movie or cinematic
Starting point is 00:08:10 is the most recognizable leg ever. Them boots. Absolutely. And you saw in the extended trailer, they showed that bit where he can power up with different armors becomes the white armor. Awesome. Yes. So that felt like somebody at Capcom USA screaming, we know we get it.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Yeah, I think here's Mega Man. I think yeah, well, and it would be the right time, you know, after all this, all this fucking digging around. Yeah, X has never been in one of these games. And now the mighty number nine has come out and been like shit. They can be like, no, look, the good one, man, look, or the one that's been held out. Because remember during Mega Man's final smash and smash, everyone went nuts when they saw like this love letter move and seeing X there.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And the fact that trigger existed in Tatsunoko. It's like everyone got some love at some point, except for X. So here we go. It's your time to shine. That's going to be cool. And then we saw afterwards Captain America and Morgan confirmed Captain America. Obviously his model looked it looked like a toy action figure. It's the new ultimates costume.
Starting point is 00:09:13 You know what I mean? You know, I just mean his proportions or something flat like Morgan with amazing. I'm well, fortunately, you're not going to have to stare at it in detail at the speed that is going to be fucking moving all over the market and it's unfortunately a little more 3D than I would have. Unfortunately, that Photoshop to start to go around pretty quick. One really cracked me up at some point. They embrace they embrace it because only they could.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I would laugh. You know, they embrace it took them a long time, but they eventually embraced bad box art Mega Man. Yeah. I really would love Capcom to eventually embrace Morgan Sprite and let's let's let's be clear. When we say we want the character to be the Morgan Sprite in the game, it is a 3D representation of like a four pixel wide Sprite. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Like made out of Legos. Yeah. Yeah. I'm also hoping that, you know, alt costume for Mega Man gets to be EXE because that'd be a really cool like that'd be another one that never got love. No, EXE looks really good, man. Yeah, he does. He looks super slick.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I didn't say Star Force. Oh, I kind of feel like in my head, like, isn't there someone that deserves it better? Maybe not. Alt costume. I don't know. I don't know. Between that or Axel, I'd much. Oh boy.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I think it would be much cooler to see EXE. Oh, Axel's unfortunate. Axel. Well, whatever. Command mission. As of command mission. I love Axel. He's the best.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Unfortunately, command mission is not canon, but that's a whole other can of worms. Now, what was cool as well was the date that dropped on that, which still makes no sense to me. Why would you say 2017? Mm hmm. What do you mean? It's real early and so early that my brain doesn't go. Well, it's not going to do the Capcom fighting game thing of March.
Starting point is 00:10:51 So then because it's going to be next Christmas. The whole thing about it is if it comes out when, you know, going back into the past has got to be out so it can be eligible for EVO, which is like a stupid thing to me. It's not going to hit up a hard limit on it all the time. So I think letting it come out in like September or August, but you can't. But you can't remember. And then letting the game just have its path for the next everyone get really good at overtime. Then EVO like it'll be it'll be much better.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Well, the thing is, is you're not going to release it and try to get it into EVO when people have 30 days to play it or some stupid shit like I get how prestigious Street Fighter is. That's fine. Put it out whenever you want. Whenever you want to have it like do the tourney circuit, but like this, like just just calm down. I bet this game is going to come out with a much smaller roster than Marvel games.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Everyone's been saying it's going to come out with a much bigger roster because it seems like a lot of these character models like Ryu, everyone's doing the same shit. You're both. You're both right. It's going to come out like day one with a much smaller roster, maybe, but you're going to see like pretty aggressive seasons like the stuff that Marvel does with their their online games. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Oh, you're going to see very minimal because there is that Marvel fighting game on mobile that has like a zillion specifically we're talking about like their Diablo style like MMO game that tons of characters come out which all the fucking time now with that in mind that then 2017 makes a lot more sense. Yes. 2017 16 with which is for 2v2. Yeah. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:12:25 24. And then you just slowly drop in the new pieces and it may go up to 7080 or whatever the fuck you know. You know what? Infinite that name kind of carries the reason why I say that is because it's Marvel like taking that. That's what Marvel does with their games now. They just put out more and more heroes as the movies come out.
Starting point is 00:12:46 And it's called infinite like this could easily been called Marvel for some reason. Rumors are confirming that already they've they're locking down the fact that it's going to be MCU characters only. Yeah. There was like there was like a roster leak like before the actual trailer. I don't trust that. I trust that now because all the choices made perfect sense and right now that has been correct.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Punisher's on it. So you want it. Well, okay. I was I was I was talking to people about this last night when I was streaming something that I saw. I don't want I want Punisher to be in the game but that's it. I don't care if he's good. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:13:20 He sucks. I'm not even playing. I think it's just amazing that he'd be even even in it because it's stupid as hell. Why am I shooting this? I don't care. Frank West and Chris are gunmen. He would very likely. That's right.
Starting point is 00:13:35 He would very likely play a lot like Chris. Chris. Yeah. Just I'm pulling up the guns. But but besides him, Gwenpool makes so much sense. Why not? But Spider-Gwen. Maybe that is why.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Why would you go to Gwenpool instead of Spider-Gwen? Well, okay. Let's just say because we have to kind of ride on the success of Deadpool, but because we don't own him in the movies and Fox does want to shit on him, but we have a bit of Gwenpool and she's like got a little play. It could be that Howard, the duck being in there like also makes a lot of stuff. Howard, the duck makes you want to eat a gun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:11 He's not any dumber than rocket. But you know, no, I've seen his movie. He's much dumber than rocket. No, but modern Howard in like comics is like, is hilarious. He's fun. And plus he's in Gwenpool all the time. So anyway, you know, and yeah, you're just you're going to see the vehicle. Your Star-Lord's going to show up in some capacity, I would imagine.
Starting point is 00:14:33 If not, like, and the thing is what's what I'm wondering about is the villain choices, you know? Yeah. Because MCU villains have been historically weak. You want to have a character that like, but you can still get a few that don't have Ultron would be a pretty lame character. Well, luckily he's being combined with Sigma. Loki would be fantastic.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Well, that'd be a fun character to have. You saw in the video, they have like a new villain. Yeah. And then there's that whoever was sitting in that chair. It's Ultron Sigma. That'd be cool. You know what? Hmm.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Like the blue eyes are exactly the same as Sigma's and he's got Sigma's ex spiky gauntlets and shit. That'd be nuts. And they also said that it was going to be a combination of two of the series veterans long time. Okay. And then in his dungeon, Ed Boon rolls his eyes and goes, no one remembers Dark Con, huh?
Starting point is 00:15:24 Yeah. The greatest villain of all. They also were hyping up the story mode. There's big talks that they're doing a cinematic story mode. We get it. You're all mad about Street Fighter. We'll put a fucking story mode. We'll actually put some compelling content in our game and they confirmed arcade mode
Starting point is 00:15:42 as well. They confirmed all the modes that people want to play that are not versus. So that's nice. That's all there. I hope you're happy, baby. No. No, no, no. It's the package that people want to spend their money on.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Makes perfect sense. As somebody who was one of the earliest like who cares about arcade mode people for SF5, I'm kind of fucking baffled that it's still not in the game. And in a game like Marvel where getting blown away by not knowing how to play is like literally seconds into the game starting. Yeah. Absolutely. Have a mode like that.
Starting point is 00:16:16 I kind of think that now that Mortal Kombat has kind of really been like, all right, if you're a fighting game above a certain level of production, it's like cinematic story mode is almost like a must now. The fact that Street Fighter did adopt one and anything above a certain, you know, Killer Incident has kind of had them, King of Fighters, not really, but like this is kind of an almost expected thing now. What do you think of the Guilty Gear version where they're just like, there's no game here.
Starting point is 00:16:50 You're watching a movie. Well, how do you feel about that? What do you mean? Well, you're watching a visual novel. You're watching a visual novel to tell you the whole story. I think that's what Guilty Gear fans would be happy with. The issue with that is. Because you can interact with a round of fighting every once in a while.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Not just a bunch of anime. So Guilty Gear, I think, doesn't OK. But the only difference between that and Blaze Blue Story Mode is I care a little bit more about Guilty Gear's characters. I'm shocked. No, no, but this is not a dig on it, like, depending on how into it's whatever thing, it can be interesting because you get a lot more detail or can be dry as fuck. It can be so, so fucking boring.
Starting point is 00:17:31 So like, if you don't care, like, Exord's story can be fucking baffling if you didn't play any other ones, right? And then you have a fight and you don't know who that guy is and it's boring. At least with Street Fighter, at least people are walking around and talking and a guy through a punch and you did a fireball. So yeah, that's exactly it. I feel that it's fine and fans will be happy with like a visual novels, like extended kind of story.
Starting point is 00:17:58 That's not for anybody else. But yeah, some people are definitely, like Mortal Kombat story, even if you're not interested in the characters, you're invested in what's going on because of how it plays out and how you're following the full cinematic adventure. Because it's like two movie length. It's like, you know, four or five hours. And it's not a series of conversations that and an occasional sort of like single graphics of like art, you know, to display whatever the action is.
Starting point is 00:18:21 It's like, it's got a budget to it. The thing that I always wanted and I don't think I'm ever going to get is the bridging between those two forms because I want my pseudo shallow, main plot based cinematic story mode with cutscenes. And for everything else, I just want an in game wiki that's just like, who is that guy? And here's, here's where I get to read about Dan for 2000 words, right? Here, here's, you know, or whatever. I, that's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I want to compendium. Metal Gear. Yeah. Metal Gear did it. The fucking. What else am I thinking of? I forget what the fuck. Well, whatever.
Starting point is 00:18:55 We're going to do that lately. And you can just go read up on Warhammer stupid shit. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be cool. So, you know, we'll see where that goes. Are we going to do more weeks this week? We are.
Starting point is 00:19:04 There's a lot to talk about. We try to blast through it. I can, I can blast through it. And, you know, I mean, we could play fucking the theory fighter on, on, on who's going to be on the roster. Theory fighter. For years on you. But we need to move on.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Gene. There's just so much. Just put Gene in the monster hunter end. Okay. For a second, I thought you meant Gene. No. Okay. Everyone.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Every single time. I mean, this is happening. I've been talking to people. Put Gene in there. Just say, just say Gene from God. But his name is Gene, man. But Gene Gray is a more popular gene character. She sucks.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Well, I know. But she can't control it. I know. But she's a more popular gene. So most people assume. You know what people would like? You should just say. I wish TF two men Titanfall two, but it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:19:42 You should just say put in God hand. Yeah. Put in the God. Everyone would know. Exactly. Put in double hand. Fuck it. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Now I have to write TIF two. Oh, that sucks. Yeah. So we got to get into our weeks because we have literally 38 items on it. It's like E three size. And then there's items that are not on the PXS. PSX list. So let's fucking get a roll.
Starting point is 00:20:06 All right. I'm just going to go with my week. Me and me and the messes went to a room escape game finally. Yeah. This is your first one ever. First one ever went down to a maze. I'm sure you've been there a bunch, Willie. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:17 So how much did you hate it? We did the temple one, which is the easy one because me and her are both like stellar Lee terrible at puzzles. Yeah. A lot of fun. A lot of fun with one problem that I imagine is probably endemic to nearly everybody kept overthinking it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Okay. Kept overthinking it by a like a full order of magnitude. Like you're given like you're given a little chart with numbers and the diagram of the room. Yeah. And it's just it's just a sequence that explains to you what order to push some buttons. But we found a different paper and we're trying to decipher some fucking language that doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah. And just. Ah. So. But time of fun. How far did you get? Did you finish? Oh, you did the temple?
Starting point is 00:21:02 Yeah. Okay. We got to the, we got inside the room. We got through the keys, but we could not figure out the, the button puzzle to open up the hidden compartment. Yeah. That's a nice wall. Uh, so here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:21:14 That puzzle in particular, easily the worst one. Oh, of the whole fucking place. The whole set because I could not fit because they, it's hard to explain, but they give you a, you find a sheet of paper that's a rectangle and on the rectangle, it shows a diagram of the room, which lets you orient the map to the room. And then you're able to, in one corner, it says 12 and has an arrow in the other corner. It says six and has an arrow and you're given a, you find an, or there's an order of numbers that goes one to 10, but the fucking like symbols around you don't go from one to 10.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Yeah. And you're supposed to assume that the. Information upper left corner is 12 and then start from there. And it's like the, the, that jump was impossible for us. Uh, were you, how many people were you? It was just me and the girlfriend. Oh, just two. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:01 So, uh, yeah, that room is max three, I believe, but the way that is set up is interesting because, um, there's, there's a couple of things in it that, uh, there's a piece in particular that has to be slotted into a place that, uh, we slotted in, in the wrong orientation. And nothing happened and that was a problem, you know, so that was some time wasted there. But in general, if you started on that and enjoyed it, then that's great because that's the worst one. Okay. Great.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Great. It's all way the fuck uphill from that. That's awesome. Yep. And it's all way, way harder too. That's because the, the clear rate on that temple is, I believe 20% and the clear rate on the rest go down to 10 and then the final one being five. Great.
Starting point is 00:22:43 So yeah. I'm excited to go back. Let's see. I played, uh, of new games that I played this week. You played Garo. Uh, how'd you, you saw me playing Garo? I saw you playing Garo. That's not new.
Starting point is 00:22:54 No, but I want to know what you think about that port of Garo. It's good port. I, I really like the screen options. I like, I love the screen options look amazing. It defaults to CRT and scan lines. Beautiful. It looks great. It looks like it's supposed to look beautiful.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Even if you stretch it, like past four by three, everything still looks good. And it has some good border options. I'm playing with no borders and time to buy Garo again. That's it. It's really good. If you like fighting, I did not. Okay. I played online.
Starting point is 00:23:22 How's that code? Fucking terrible. Of course. Just, I had about four matches, all of them, just a massive amount of slowdown. You know, mileage may vary, but like I was literally playing Killer Inc. Stink the day before and I know that game's been around for like three years. Yeah. Killer Inc.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Stink is like known for its excellent net code. So, but like, I just want to say like my connection, maybe not have been the issue, but when I boot up Garo, and this was like day zero at minute five. Doesn't matter. Like the net code's going to stay terrible. That's it. It's to be expected. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:54 And Keats tweeted this out. It's like the tragedy here is that UMVC three was ported and announced, Garo was ported and announced. And I forgot what the third thing was and it's like, and none of these are going to have rollback net code. None. You know? And that's a fucking shame, man.
Starting point is 00:24:08 It's a lot of work. But Garo deserves it. His way to play Garo is still over fucking Chiara or whatever the fuck that emulators call Chiara. Not Kaza. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:24:21 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:24:29 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:24:37 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Starting point is 00:28:47 There is. Just. There used to be. There used to be. It used to be. Um. There used to be. Uh.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Uh. It used to be. To so much Gru closer. Um. Um. Um. Yes, how good that is.
Starting point is 00:29:03 It is. I've got all of our greens. At, Uh. Uh, Uh, Uh, uh,
Starting point is 00:29:12 greens, And the only difference between those weapons. And the default ones, their basic attacks are all the same and their basic damage and all that is the same, but they all have a secondary trait, which is like. Ten percent of the time it'll pro Environment, or.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Or 15 percent. Yeah, 15 percent of the time. It'll fire two bullets instead of one. And there's a whole upgrade system associated with. Are you ever PVPing in it? No. The primary difficulty, friendly fire becomes enabled,
Starting point is 00:29:34 which makes the game a million times harder. Right. Because you're swinging around like crazy. Yep. Through rat hordes. The game's just awesome. But the thing I didn't expect is the levels are so. Good.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Like you either move a lot farther than you. There's a, there's a mission in which you look over the side and you get to see the Imperial Army marching to go fight the Skaven horde and shit. And there was this, another one in the, in a mages college where at random points during the level when you pass through a threshold, you get teleported to an alternate version of the universe where it's a big Dark Souls
Starting point is 00:30:06 castle and you're on the outside and you're storming it. And you keep flipping in between the two. It's fucking great. Okay. It's super good. We got no fewer than eight facts wrong in that Warhammer discussion. That's fine. Please refer to Mothman's angry comment in.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Mothman's. Are you assuming this or is it happening? No, I'm assuming this is going to happen once the podcast is posted. Mothman speaks with British accent, right? Yes, he does. That means he knows everything about games workshop and Warhammer. You can't be wrong with a British accent. You're less wrong.
Starting point is 00:30:38 They're crazy about that shit. The only other game I played. Just look at the BBC. A note, which I'm going to assume Matt played as well, was the newly updated Resident Evil 7 demo. You mean final demo? Did you play it, Matt? I booted it up and I didn't, I was just like, ah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:54 So you played it, Willie? No, not the updated one. You played the original demo at some point. Yeah. Or to your right, as soon as you walk out, you can't open. There's nothing? You can open it now. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:03 The house is much larger than originally appeared. Much larger. There's a lot of cool new areas because I haven't played the demo since it first came out. There's notes. There's little secrets. Did you become part of the family? There's an enemy and there's a gun. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Okay. Did you shoot it? Yes. How's that? The enemy? There's multiple new endings, one of which is escape, but you took any damage at all, which is the one I get every time, and then there's the one in which you escape and defeat the enemy without taking a single hit, which is incredibly difficult.
Starting point is 00:31:42 People have all so finally pieced together what the dummy finger does. Okay, what does it do? It is part of a PT style, you attach the dummy finger to a hand and you point it at where people died in the house, and you hear like a giggle, and then eventually if you do that five times, you unlock a door that is otherwise impassable, and it gives you something called a dirty coin. Coins are known to be used to unlock special loot cases in the base game, but nobody has heard of a dirty one yet, so it'll likely unlock some kind of very special.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Maybe you got to clean it. It'll very likely unlock some kind of very special extra bonus for people. I don't know about you, but I have this quiet hype for this game now, where I'm not blown away by anything, but I'm like, this could be really exciting. I like how you can say, holy shit, there was an update, there's now an enemy in the game. That's a cool sentence. No, because the enemy and the gun and how you get the gun and where ammo is and how you get ammo and how the melee works is everything that I needed to know remaining about this
Starting point is 00:32:51 game. Every trailer they came out, I'm like, what does the combat look like because Resident Evil Combat is weird, and it's specific, and they've nailed it. So melee weapons are effective, but tough to use without taking damage. Guns do damage, but in order to compensate for the fact that your aim is now a billion times better than it was in the old days, enemies do not recoil or even stop moving as you should. They just take it.
Starting point is 00:33:17 They just sponge it. And you will hit damage thresholds in which they go, ah, and fall backwards just like the old games, but the enemy that's in the demo called the molded, he does not even flinch from a regular shot. You find him in an enclosed area, and it's tough. It's about as tough as fighting off a zombie in an enclosed area in Resident Evil 1 specifically. The other thing is that finding ammo, you find shit amounts of ammo. The most amount of bullets you can find in one place is three, and the act of finding
Starting point is 00:33:52 it is they are in kind of average places. This one's on top of a shelf. This one's in a drawer, but it active, and I missed a couple the first few times I went through, and it actively simulates that feeling of RE1, RE2, RE3, where it was all pre-rendered. It's like, you don't know where all the ammo is. You're going to have to search, like all of it. Then sprinkle this across the house, go find the ammo, and no clips though. It feels like a highly, highly modernized, future version of that old style, creeping
Starting point is 00:34:24 through hallways, nervous about what's around the corner, limited resources, etc. So this game, based on what was shown at PSX and stuff, it can't work if you're changing environments, going through massive cities or anything like that. This is probably going to be a series of mansions, to one, maybe two houses. I think we've seen three, but like a front yard at urban level, where that has that black cop, and there's like some type of city altercation, but also with lots of detail. Even RE3, which is in a city, it's still like built like a mansion. Not like RE6, where you literally went to a million different locations.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Like the streets are just slightly wider hallways in RE3. I played it in VR as well. VR is a terrible way to play that game. What happens? Well, there's a bunch of, the amount of work they added to controllers, like how to control and move is pretty impressive. How to play? You can even turn on like, like reverse CRT looking lines that tell you how far away
Starting point is 00:35:29 your character is from surfaces and stuff like that. But the big problem is turning your head, turning your character, with the right analog stick goes from smooth and fluid, which would probably make you sick, to sharp turns. Like you know, 15 degree turns, crouching becomes instantaneous, which actually feels really weird, and your movement isn't as fast. And I could not tell whether or not that's the game or my perception of it. That's compensation for movement making. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Well, the monster doesn't move any less fast. Yeah. It's comfort settings. Also, the game on PS4 Pro is running at some variant of 4K with good AA and 60 FPS. It looks astounding. It looks fantastic. And playing it through VR with all of these little foibles, it's at 1080 with the, you know, the stereoscopic, it's like, it was fun to like look around and like, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:28 do VR stuff. But like in terms of playing that game. This was a game that was designed without VR in mind. It was absolutely designed without it in mind and then put on afterwards because, hey, it's in first person. And it did make me feel sick at all, at all, at all, at all. But it's a shitty way to play that game. It's not a good way to play that game.
Starting point is 00:36:48 The regular way is the way. Well, I mean, you know, I think like PT was pretty effective at showing that like, even if you're not in VR, you can still get a really scary experience. The first time I ran into the monster, I was in VR and it scared the fucking shit out of me because the body prints and stuff like freaked me out. And I appreciate that the spookiness was increased, but it was spookiness was increased by maybe 10%, 20%. But the general like, I want to play this fucking game fast and effectively with my controls
Starting point is 00:37:24 was like a very significant downgrade. And that sucks. But what it means is that if you're on PC or Xbox One or don't have a PlayStation VR, fucking relax because you're still going to play the game in probably the best way. Yeah, I think that's also shooting is like considerably harder in VR because of your perception of the gun. I thought you started out saying that it was easier and thus they don't flinch. What?
Starting point is 00:37:51 No, I didn't. I thought you started out saying that because aiming is so much easier. Yeah, aiming so much easier, but aiming in VR compared to aiming without VR. I assumed you meant to do that. Aiming without VR is the same thing as when you play Pokemon Go and you turn off the AR shit in which it becomes a blank rock solid view. Whereas in VR, because of your own micro movements, it becomes a little. You have to compensate.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Play, Matt, you play that extended demo. It's it. It removed all my doubts. I am now not quietly high. I am now extremely excited. I almost don't want to play it just because well, that's a spoiler is nothing like this game. Nothing in there.
Starting point is 00:38:37 It's in the base game. Oh, yeah. It's still confirmed. The demo is completely separate. OK. Maybe I'll do it because I I updated the game and everything and I'm like, but three games were released on that same day. So like I didn't.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Yeah. No, there was a lot. Yeah. But yeah, we're going to play that game eventually. So I was like, yeah, if that we're going to play already seven eventually. Yeah. Wow. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Wow. Wow. Wow. All you animators out there, come at me with your ideas for the intro. We are currently. We have one month. We have one month. Well, don't start making it because I'm sure there'll be somebody else that wants to make
Starting point is 00:39:12 it either. I wish you more than one month. Throw that out there. Yeah. You're going to see them fight. You want to see them fight? Huh? Y'all are tied to a chair and then you get supermurked.
Starting point is 00:39:22 There's like some really like because I was unsure about the the RE7 like imagery, like the hillbilly like kind of like evil thing. Yeah. Yeah. And there's there's there's an the imagery in the bathroom that you can now find in the demo is so strong. It's a toilet and a bathtub that are overflowing with blood and in the bathtub, there's an upside down children's bike.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Nice. And then when you eventually drain that toilet, that's where the gun is. What what was the second location? The second mansion that you saw? Second match. It's there's the there's the Baker family household. Yeah. And then what's been seen is a way way bigger like Resident Evil looking mansion that is
Starting point is 00:40:07 also run down. Okay. And the third area is like looks like it's way out in the fucking bayou kind of rickety ass like guard house kind of thing. I would be in the new trailer. You can see a lab nice in the new trailer. There is a watch a trailer. It was very fast where the shot with the little girl and like a huge wind explosion going
Starting point is 00:40:26 down a hallway. If you look really carefully, you can tell that that's a classical Resident Evil style lab hall. Well, I'm waiting for the explanation that like these crazy spooky girl monsters are based on science. Well, yeah, that's I mean, it's the first willy and it's and it's all it's all it's going to be science curse. All it's going to be is these people lived really close to an umbrella facility.
Starting point is 00:40:47 That's all it's been dumped it in the bayou and then it all came down and on the way to theirs to their cooking pots and whatnot. Yeah. I hit a bunch of alligators. Sure. Yeah. You know, that's a this is a perfect game for the alligator return. I would I would be really interested to see if the game goes through the the the is all
Starting point is 00:41:07 classic Resident Evil games have the same level progression and it's a primary location alternate, which I would call guardhouse. Yeah. And in RE2, it's the sewers or the basement and then back to your primary location and then alternate location to which is a path to lab like they all do that. Okay. Yeah, I know. I'm done.
Starting point is 00:41:32 All right. All right. All right. I know we'll get more Red Bull because this is going to be a long one. That's fine. Matt. Yes. You guys want anything?
Starting point is 00:41:41 What'd you do? I'm good. Now we're good. Good. Thank you. I'm in a way a bunch. I'm in. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:41:57 I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Okay. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:42:13 I'm in. In. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I'm in. Yeah. Yeah. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. In.
Starting point is 00:42:29 At the time of our event and we were sort of nowhere they actually went or early in the night. They did because they found it in the $5 or less pile that has no boxes. Okay. So they gave me a bunch of stuff. I got Star Trek Voyager Invasion, which is the first person PS2
Starting point is 00:42:48 shooter based on Star Trek Voyager. Yes. Give me that. Sometimes they would talk me out of buying things and I said no. No. Couldn't possibly be worse than inside of Spock's face. We don't, but it's based on Voyager.
Starting point is 00:43:05 So yeah, it could be worse. Okay. So that was funny. Got a bunch of stuff there. Elite Force is a pile of trash. I also got Elite Force. Wait, also? Star Trek Voyager Invasion is the one I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Jesus. Fuck. And there was another Star Trek game on the PlayStation 1 that I got. So I don't know. I just bought whatever bullshit. I blame THQ and Viacom. Save it for the pop-ups on the channel.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Okay. Don't blow your load here. Sometimes I do. I remember that time Catherine in Paris turned into fucking lizard people. I do. Yeah. I also went to Ripley's Aquarium.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Go ahead. Ripley's Aquarium. We were like, oh, this is going to be shit. We went in there as a pretty good damn aquarium. I was very, very happy with it. I was like, hey, look at all of this. I'm going to take a picture of myself looking disgusted at fish. What have I done?
Starting point is 00:44:00 But at the very least, it has led us to the idea of I'm going to have to take your picture next. Yes, thank you. Unless you want me to use the one with the glasses. You can take a picture of my face. Okay. So we're going to have to fuck up those Omicron thumbnails. You pulled a Cosby.
Starting point is 00:44:19 You took a picture and you said, me, me. And that's what happened. Snoop Dogg did it too. Go watch Snoop Dogg's Instagram. It's fucked up. He takes a bunch of random pictures going, all right, Internet. Make a meme. It's fucking cringy.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Anyway, go. I didn't do it. I had no intention to do it. That man is hot. Yeah. All the time. It's also Monday slash Tuesday. What else?
Starting point is 00:44:42 He's also rich and bored. What's he going to do? Create a theme park, run a porn entrepreneurship. Wait, he's got a theme park? You want the porn thing? Martha Stewart, Martha Stewart, Martha Stewart. Run a fucking SNL-like show. What is it?
Starting point is 00:44:57 You want to keep going here? He's a lot. All right. He's doing a lot. It was really weird on the next day when I got home. It says, giant fire at Ripley's Aquarium. And I went, oh, God, one of those things where I just barely missed death. And I was like, oh, no, it's another Ripley's Aquarium.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Not the one in general. Believe it or not. Believe it or not, we just left all the fish to fry in the fucking water. I don't know what happened with that. Fish can't catch on fire, man. They're under water. No, but the water maybe got boiled up. Yeah, I'm sure that.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Isn't there a Pokemon like that? Probably. Fire type fish, whatever. Anyway. Fuck yeah, seeking? No, that's not fine. What do you want? Well, no, because I'm thinking of all those images of seeking with like the F-14 fire
Starting point is 00:45:38 jets. No, no, no, no. I bet you there's some fire type fish. You seem to be wanting to say something. No, I was just going to say like, so you've now done like a cross-continental tour of aquariums. There's more. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:50 I haven't gone to any aquariums because I want to see my enemy in the face. I saw it. You want to see a basking shark? No. Oh. I don't want to. Well, you just said. I saw whale sharks.
Starting point is 00:46:00 That's all I needed. You just fucking said. I don't want to see them. No, I mean, enemy isn't all the gross shit that's in the ocean. Oh, yeah. Well, you're never going to see the deepest dankest shit because that stuff can't even live above ground. And we don't even know what's down in the deep, deep, deep.
Starting point is 00:46:14 That's why. They keep finding like new eldritch beings down there all the time. That's pretty awesome. There's that other route that there's one I don't want to talk about. We keep digging in more. The deeper you go, the more they hate humanity. Wow. Why are those things correlated?
Starting point is 00:46:30 What's up with that? You guys shouldn't even know about humanity. You think the fish at the top would hate us the most because we fucked them up with our boats and shit. It's the shit we don't even know about that hates us the most. The only way that stuff all the way down there hates us the most is that there's someone just dropped a issue of Cosmo and it fell all the way down to the bottom and they read it.
Starting point is 00:46:53 That's the only way I played burn on Cosmo. I played overwatch. I was initially always like, Sombra's cool, but I'm not going to play her. But then I played Sombra and I'm like, you know what? I can play her. I can get into that groove of it and she's offensive. Annoy people, hack the heels, get behind the line. More or less like just since I play 76 a lot, I'm like, OK, her machine guns, somewhat
Starting point is 00:47:25 someone else good or whatever. And just that she's just fast and yeah, she's like, because when you initially described like everything you heard about the character, a couple podcasts ago, I was like, that sounds mmm. But I'm like, no, she's a lot more simple than I initially thought like it seemed like through this high barrier of like technical like, when should you hack? When should you not? When should you do this?
Starting point is 00:47:47 But I'm like, that's fine. She's a good switch when time's running out too because of her sprint and her ability to toss teleport. Her. So she's like not like Winston, but like a little bit less. But she can get to this point to contest her quickly. Her invisibility is one of those abilities just like May's ice gun that when I'm using it like this is the best.
Starting point is 00:48:06 And when I'm not, I'm like, this is the worst. Like shooting at her only for her to fucking disappear entirely is like a new form of anger that I've discovered in overwatch. It's worse than Reaper because Reaper, you can just kind of follow him and wait for it to like go away and then like continue shooting him. You will not catch up with Sombra if she knows. No, that's that's the whole thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:29 So I think she's good. I like, I, I, I unfortunately, I like, I never picked up. I never selected Anna once because I'm just like, no, sure. So I'm glad that there's another character at her. I'm like, yes. Have you tried new Symmetra? I have not. I have not at all.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Okay. She's not live on the non-PTR yet. There you go. That's why. Uh, well, your consoles as well, right? Yeah, that one. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Um, I, uh, I told you this a few days ago, but I just, I'll, I'll, like I said, I, uh, played killings to the day before I played Garo and I booted that up and I'm like, oh, there's just new skins just added randomly shadow skins, mimic skins, something called terror skins terror that are not there yet. I don't know God like skins what they are and gold skins, which is still really cool to me just because they had that dumb pal swap in K.I. Gold. So it's fun there.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Um, so I bought a bunch of those because some characters look super fucking cool with that, uh, like Saber Wolf and, and, um, and, uh, Hasako, Gargoss and, uh, Idol, like all the monsters look awesome as green or purple. But if you take like purple colors, he looks stupid. Like he has purple skin, but he's still blonde hair. So it just looks weird, but, um, so I bought a bunch of those. I appreciate the continued support of your color scheme, your aesthetic and K.I. Three.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I appreciate it. Okay. Good. Uh, yeah, I played Garo a bit. Like I said, it seems like it's a great port. That's a good game. You should play it. Uh, like a new unlockable art section that you get through various achievements.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Yeah. Uh, I saw the first piece of art unlocked I have never seen before, which was Terry, uh, in his old costume, like sitting on like a computer chair with rock kind of fighting with like action figures on the floor as a kid. Yeah. Never seen this before. It could be one of the ones flash. And that, yeah, there's a lot of good ones there.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Yeah. So, so that's cool. Um, aside from that, I played a bunch of a shadow warrior too. I'm starting to get souls weapons or I get increasingly gross weapons that seem like they're made by demons and, and, and Eldritch gods and such. I got like a shotgun that's just made out of bones. There's also the machine gun that was made out of bones. Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:51 King Skeletor. And then I got a, it has a trigger. The solid can describe it as it has a trigger and then it goes longer and it has a saw blade that's vertical and then it extends out farther and has a second saw blade and which it does the most damage that I have of anything right now. So I'm killing bosses with it because I upgraded it a lot. So there's that. And I also have an iron man fist that I can now shoot like pulsating heat rays that track.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Okay. And it's, it's insane now. Um, I'm having, yeah. More weapons than you need to kill things. 70 weapons in the game. Okay. So it's less than a Borderlands. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:36 We've talked about this before, but like more than anything else. So I'm actually getting really close to beating the game. I, I streamed a bit of it, but like I'm getting to the point where someone literally said, before you take this mission, clean up your shit that all your other missions is pointing no return. Clean this shit up. You fuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Uh, I also saw Moana, the, the Disney movie. Yeah. Fucking awesome. Of course it is. Mr. Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Yeah. Did a really good job. He made a, he made a quote recently where he's like, I hate all those like animated
Starting point is 00:52:06 movies where people come in and just do their lines and leave. Shark's Tale. Shark's Tale. Like, over the head, the thing that people said is like over the hedge, over the hedge has 50 million celebrities. Bruce Willis. Can you imagine the type of phoning in Bruce Willis would do on that? Quite literally phoning in.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Yes. Yeah, exactly. So he made a quote recently where like, he's like, I want to do the best job possible. And I, I've done a few animated roles, but I'm like really self-conscious about it. So when he's doing his lines, he invited other actors that were in the movie like to literally cheer him on and he would turn and go, how am I doing? And they're like, you could do this. You could do that.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Okay. Cool. And he's actually really fantastic. He has one of the best. I'm, I'm, I've, I've a couple of minds about songs in Disney movies because if they're bad, they're shit. That's a musical. But they need to be there.
Starting point is 00:53:00 But no, some of them don't like, like I really like Tarzan, the old animated 2D animated one that has songs, but no one sings them because it's stupid to sing songs in a narrative tale to me still. I don't know, man. Hellfires the shit. It depends on the context. But like this motherfuckers talking shit about be prepared and I'm like, I don't even know where to go.
Starting point is 00:53:21 It's about Nazis, Matt. I don't even know where to go from here. I just mean it, it, we are now in a song. Yeah. Yeah. It's musicals. That's musicals. I know that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:53:33 But when I'm invested in a story, when it's a song, I'm like, no story will be happening for the next two minutes. What fucking parallel universe are we in in that Pat music, hating art, destroying asshole is like, Oh yeah, it has to have music. It's a musical. And Matt's like, I don't like the song. Like what the fuck? How else are you going to punch up?
Starting point is 00:53:46 I have maggots in my scrotum. I just mean, I just mean, well, come on, man, come on, dude. If I'm invested in a story, Oh, non-animated musical happens. I like it. If a song pushes it forward, but if a song is just like, Hey, I'm cool. It doesn't. That's fine. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:54:03 But the Rock Johnson selective of his roles and that's why he brought all 110% of his voice acting ability to the WrestleMania Ranch Cartoon. All the songs in my mind are really good. The Rock has a really good one where he's just like, I'm Maui. I'm the best. You're welcome. Yeah. The entire song is called, you're welcome.
Starting point is 00:54:21 And it's just really, really funny. God, Jermaine from Flight of the Concords has a role where he has a song about all shiny bling. Cool. He plays a villain in it. All the songs are really fantastic. So I like them. When songs are done poorly and they don't do anything really special, I'm just kind
Starting point is 00:54:40 of like bored. I'd say I really appreciate Rock's humility because we've seen it in the past where it's very easy for big pro wrestler man who's the king of their own mountain to come into some other medium and be like, I'm the fucking king shit. I'm Michael Jordan. P.S. Michael Jordan's a good example of this as well. But yeah, he nailed it. It was just really, really enjoyable.
Starting point is 00:55:05 P.S. Fuck Michael Jordan. One of the better Disney movies I've seen a long time. Aside from that. Charging people for fucking autographs. Oh, it's fucking. He's poor, man. Yeah, because he gambles.
Starting point is 00:55:19 One last thing I want to gripe about is... So can we confirm then that the Rock is now a Disney princess? Yeah. No, he's not. No, the literally Moana is like, I'm not a princess. He's like, well, who's your dad? He's the chief of the village. And he goes, yeah, that's an animal sidekick.
Starting point is 00:55:36 You're a princess. And she's like, no, I'm not. I'm not the princess. She's like, no, you have an animal sidekick. They join Michelle Pfeiffer as Disney princesses, as I pointed out, since Dangerous Minds is a Disney property. So what the fuck? Yeah, watch with me.
Starting point is 00:55:51 He's right. He's right. He's right. No, fuck you. Don't watch with me. If I could lobby any like nitpick against the movies that they do have an animal body, which is funny for the first one second it's on screen, which is a dumb chicken. It's literally dumb.
Starting point is 00:56:06 And they have this cute pig that's not dumb that they have in the movie. But they're like, oh, that's not. He just disappears. And then they have this dumb chicken, which they rely way too many jokes on and like maybe two of them out of 50 are worth it. Is Rock just basically a heroic Gaston in this? Yes. Yeah, OK.
Starting point is 00:56:27 But what like more heroic than Gaston? Well, that's what I mean, because Gaston is the villain of beauty. He has more humility than Gaston, though, like Gaston was like pretty much irredeemable. Oh, Gaston's the shit. Yeah, but which we also saw the trailer for Beauty and the Beast, where I tried to look at the live action Gaston and be like, no, not in my universe will you ever like Hermione is Belle. Sure.
Starting point is 00:56:50 OK. Yeah. That BCG. That's good. And I'm like that Gaston. No. No, no, no, no. No.
Starting point is 00:56:58 It needs an inhumanly gigantic chin. Exactly. What I want to gripe about is it's now winter. Yes. Where is it? There's there's no where the fuck are my boots? Wow. I can't find them.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Oh, shit. That's the problem. This is the second year in a row where I went where are my boots? Where'd you put them? We don't know. OK. And then I went to the store. This is last last winter.
Starting point is 00:57:18 I bought some boots. They were shit boots. And I hated them. They had really, really thin laces and they would always untie and I said, fuck this. I'm going to buy better boots and I bought better boots last year and I threw out the old boots. I could just whip them out the window. You should just get those racquet shoes so that you don't you can't.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Matt, here's here. I'm very worried about flipping on ice and shit, so I need a good traction. OK. I can't. So I can't help you with your current boot dilemma because that may be a battle you've already lost. That might be. I'm old and I don't remember where the fuck I put my boot.
Starting point is 00:57:50 The answer to the where my boots question in the going forward. Yeah. The simple answer is don't put your boots away. Just have them there next to your shoes as an option for the entire year. And it did for a long time, but then I was like, all these boots are taking up space. Are there more than two places in your house that your footwear could possibly be? More than two? No.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Because literally it should be like the foot thing by your door. I'm still wearing my sneakers outside. It's dangerous. I'm scared every day. And then the closet where the other foot things go. Where are my boots? Did some dirty spag take them? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Keep that on the Sonic L page. Let's not bleed that out too much. I had my chest tighten up a little bit. What is this new slur terminology we created? You too. So check it out. Yeah, I noticed you just started immediately like so, Matt and Liam. Because I say those fucking spagos is what I'm at the spagos level.
Starting point is 00:58:50 Okay. And there's people from Spagonia in Sonic Unleashed and we've taken to kindly name them the Spagos. Because I say they're fucking spagos because that hits the ear quite hard. So yeah, so here's the doubling down. That's a fun one. I'm going to leave that alone. So not to mention all the other countries in the fake Sonic World.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Yeah, like America, Shut Up, that's what I'm talking about. And Chew None. Yeah, on that note, we got some sponsors. Where the fuck's my boots? Are any of these sponsors boot makers? No. But you need to roll into them. They're so good, you'll forget about it.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Because we're at the hour mark and it's got to get into it. So to take a quick word, if you don't mind, from our sponsors. Sure. So first, this week, we are sponsored by the good old boys down at Loot Crate. Hey, Loot Crate, you guys have been longtime sponsors. We really appreciate it. You guys are cool.

Starting point is 01:02:03 Do all sorts of filthy shit on top of Casper mattress. It'll be comfy. D-Joy grilled cheese sandwiches. Wow, that's fucking gross. But you can do it on a Casper. Everything you do on a Casper feels better. Now granted, just because it has memory foam doesn't mean it'll remember the things you do there.
Starting point is 01:02:20 That's not what... That's not what memory foam means. That's a feature. Memory foam means that it's kind of comfy in a contours to your body and stuff. Do whatever. But what you're getting is a great mattress at a shockingly fair price that combines springy latex and memory foam to create an award-winning sleep surface. Now Woolly.
Starting point is 01:02:40 Yes. A fan. You're a user? Also a client. Wait, a user? A client. A client. A client.
Starting point is 01:02:48 A client. And a propagator of the Casper mattress lifestyle. How's your sleep? Well, after trying it for my hundred nights free, I didn't return it because it was great. Good. And it feels good. And I love it. So I totally endorse and recommend a Casper mattress.
Starting point is 01:03:03 It's a third of your fucking life. Yeah. Like, if you're... Why would that? That should be their logo. That's literally what they push as one of the things. Don't waste your time. It's a third.
Starting point is 01:03:14 You spend so much of your time. Like, for real, it's a third of your life. Yeah. It should be a third of your fucking life. You should seriously consider getting a better mattress than the one you took out of your parents' house. One of the best adventures of 2015, according to Time Mix. That's like a journey into adulthood, right?
Starting point is 01:03:30 And if you do... It's like, I'm not going to use my childhood mattress anymore. I'm going to get a new mattress for me because I'm an adult and I care about my sleep. That's what big adults do. I had a birthday. I'm a big adult, man. I got myself a big adult bed. So...
Starting point is 01:03:43 For big adult stuff. Big adult stuff. Like, eating grilled cheese sandwiches. You can do it all over your bed if you want. No one can stop you. Dust those crumbs off. Like, five of them. And tell you what, if you get in on it, you're getting free shipping and returns in the US
Starting point is 01:03:56 and Canada. So... Right. Enjoy all the grilled cheeses and sleep you want on your own bed. Just don't try and combine the two activities. What? What you want to do is you want to head on down to casper.com slash super best and use the promo code super best and you get 50 bucks off your mattress purchase.
Starting point is 01:04:13 So... You know what you can do with 50 bucks? You can deal on it. You can buy a bunch of grilled cheeses. That's all. You're saving grilled cheese money. What more do you want, people? Thanks, Casper.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Thank you. Thank you. Oh, man. We've transitioned from... It was a long transition. We transitioned from the ice cream bar age to the grilled cheese age. Yeah. Like, if someone said to me, I don't like grilled cheeses, that's spit in their face.
Starting point is 01:04:43 So, you would? Yeah. There's a lot noted coward Matt would spit in their face. You know those like food porn reddit and things like that, or it's like, here's amazing screenshots of like... I stopped doing that. So that doesn't usually get me. On Twitter, I stopped that.
Starting point is 01:04:56 That's bad for you. It doesn't get me. It doesn't usually get me. But what... Do you have the thing where oftentimes you find it disgusting? No, I don't find it disgusting. But I'm like, yeah, that's a picture of cool food. But I don't suddenly be like, I need it.
Starting point is 01:05:09 But pictures of gourmet grilled cheese always get me. Like that specific food, no matter what. Who doesn't like grilled cheese or even a shitty grilled cheese, right? And like the perfect toasted brown bread, golden crispy with like a little bit of garlic on the... Like whatever they do. That's fancy. Grilled cheese galleries are fucked and they will ruin my day every time.
Starting point is 01:05:34 You put bacon in it? Like fucking... I'll marry you. Anything. Matt, you're already married. I'll... I'll... I can take on more.
Starting point is 01:05:42 No, that's super against the law. It is. I thought that was the whole point of Canada. You can marry your cousin for sure, but like you can't marry two of your cousins. Yeah, especially if they're ones grilled cheese chef. What if I make you the best grilled cheese sandwich in the world and then I cut it into a koopie? I wouldn't mind it in a koopie shape.
Starting point is 01:06:02 That's fine, man. I like triangle sandwiches, honestly. What is it? It's the Nomad Soul What-a-va-ma-crawl. Yeah, there you go. So with the weeks, then? Your weeks. Yeah, finish it off.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Finish it off strong. Finish it off strong nice and quick. I don't think I could finish off any stronger than Westworld finished off. You want to talk about strong finishes. Woo! Okay, so I don't... I don't have... I did not watch it.
Starting point is 01:06:28 So Liam has not watched... He probably hasn't even seen, you know, he saw nine, but he didn't see ten. I didn't see ten because the nature of the way that airs means that I'll watch it tonight when I go home. What you're doing. Nine scared me. Yeah, okay. Because nine is one of the best episodes of television I have ever seen.
Starting point is 01:06:46 There you go. Wow. Which sets itself up for either a slam dunk or a complete disaster. There was only two places that could go. That could have gone into the most fucking wet, fart, sizzle out possible or it could have gone somewhere great. So I'm real excited that you just told me it's good. So this is one of those moments where after watching nine, we're not going to get into
Starting point is 01:07:08 spoilers, by the way. Nothing. Westworld spoilers are not going to be had right now. No. Next week after the podcast. When Liam gets back and we can all talk about it, right? I want to get into that. Or at the end of the podcast.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Danganrump and some other stuff. So we'll see. But as far as it just goes, talking about last week and this week. Last week's was so fucking nutty that that was one of the first times in recent memory where like, you know what? You sometimes see something and then you're like, OK, wait, what?
Starting point is 01:07:32 You have to click back a little bit to watch a little bit of what you just watched. Yes. Like I clicked back pretty much to the beginning of the episode and just went, hold on. Well, if you really want to, you got to click back to the beginning of the first episode. If you really want to, right? So goddamn, that show was strong. Nine was strong. 10, which is last night's season finale, is a 90 minute film.
Starting point is 01:07:54 Yes. It is. It is an hour and a half. And it is a movie that you are sitting through. That is the conclusion of season one of Westworld. 90 minutes. It is 90 minutes. Why are they just making two episodes?
Starting point is 01:08:08 Because it's the 10th episode and they want it to use this time. Because they want it because because there is something that happens to a story the longer you become immersed in it. It needs this. It needs like this is the closing breath of this arc like and it needs. There is a part of me that believes very strongly that if distribution and TV watching habits were as such that they would have released like two, four and a half episodes, two, four and a half hour of films.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Whatever John wanted to do. Whatever they wanted to do. Right? Like kind of thing. But it was goddamn great. You know, the one, it's not a plot whole, but it's a moment of character idiocy. It's character idiocy and disbelief. And that unfortunately you have to double down on it and it gets worse.
Starting point is 01:08:59 So the problem has not been alleviated. But outside of that, but that's like that's one of those things where it's hard to differentiate between is this a flaw of the narrative or do I just really hate this character? No, no, no, no. This is a this is a poor writing. But everything outside of that one thing, which we will get into next time is I couldn't be happier with where it landed. Hey, you know, who's a really good actor?
Starting point is 01:09:26 Anthony Hopkins. Yeah, Harry's pretty decent. Yeah. You know, who's also a really good actor. Yeah. Almost every single other person in that fucking show. It is. It's it's a it's a slam who's what's the what's the name of the actor who plays Bernard?
Starting point is 01:09:39 Do you know his name? I forget. What did he play before? I have no idea. I've never seen him. Okay. But he's Bernard. If you have seen any of the promotional material, he's a kind of middle-aged black guy kind
Starting point is 01:09:50 of balding. He's got thick rim glasses. He's fucking amazing. He's a character that has like he's the head of what development or programming. So he has a shit ton of scenes with Anthony Hopkins in this show, where those two are just talking about AI stuff and talking about the nature of the mind and stuff like that and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. They probably have by far the most amount of dialogue of any two characters with each
Starting point is 01:10:15 other in the show. And Bernard's actor is on point that he is not being shown up by Anthony Hopkins. You're playing. Yeah, exactly. That's like Hopkins has like 40 extra years of acting cred on him. So that's not fucking fair. And you're playing off of him and managing to keep up. That's what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:10:38 But you're doing it. You're really, really doing it and the actress who plays Dolores and having to switch between negative effect and human effect at a drop of a hat. Excellent. And Ed Harris continues to be the scariest old man in the world. I went, I went back to look at her, her like IMDb and I was like, oh, I haven't seen anything that she happened to be. So that was just like someone that came up and I just missed every one of their works
Starting point is 01:11:04 somehow in parallel. So, you know, but yeah, amazing performance there. And of course, Sandy Newton's great, you know, like it's what else can I say? So a plus plus fantastic. Only one problem with the casting. And that's, uh, uh, was it will William? Yeah. Uh, it's tough not to see McPoyle.
Starting point is 01:11:23 It's tough. Yeah. It's tough. So I think incest the old McPoyles. Yeah. But, but for me, I got, I shook that off when I watched House of Cards House of Cards. He plays a still goofy, but in a really shitty, serious position character that you kind of get the McPoyle off of him and then, uh, we continue towards this where he's doing fantastic,
Starting point is 01:11:47 I think. Uh, had a birthday. Wasn't anything fancy. You're old. You know, uh, went to the family's place. What? Sure wasn't fancy. What's all this?
Starting point is 01:11:56 Oh, God. Get that rustle noise for the audio. Get that rustle noise in the audio. Do that. Fuck you. Okay. Hold on. Watch it be embarrassing pornography.
Starting point is 01:12:04 Giant dildo. Oh, geez. You guys. What is it? What the fuck? No, don't say you guys. I did not help with this. Yeah, you did not.
Starting point is 01:12:12 All right. I don't believe in birthdays. Um, let's make. Okay. Make all the noise. Well, I mean, I believe birthdays exist, obviously. Hey. Yo.
Starting point is 01:12:21 What, what is this? Oh my God. Oh, it's Mr. Ganondorf. Yeah. So Willie, I'm going to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:29 Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's Mr. Ganondorf. It's Ganondorf. Fuck yeah. So Willie, I'm going to. Mr. Dragmire himself, dude. Willie, Willie, I'm going to be honest.
Starting point is 01:12:39 I'm going to spoil. Holy fuck. Shut up, Willie. I'm going to spoil a moment by saying this was not my first choice of things to give to you. Oh, this is really cool, man. Okay. You're not going to like me that much when I say what my original plan was.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Well, then why are you doing this? Which was yesterday over the internet. I, I, I carpet bomb social media with a particular image of the boss. And I went down to the store to pick up Willie, that figure of the boss that's holding the Davy Crockett. And did that number. Were you going to, were you going to physically alter it to look like slippy? No, I was just going to be the boss holding the Davy Crockett.
Starting point is 01:13:18 And then the action figure store kindly said, we literally got robbed of action figures last week. Of a bunch of hot toys. So the whoever the robbers were knew this was the shit to steal. Cause that shit's like their hundreds of dollars each. So they, they got away with like $12,000 of merchandise. That's awesome. And they're like, I'm really sorry.
Starting point is 01:13:42 The boss got stolen. And I'm like, God damn it. I wanted to give him a troll again. Listen, listen, I already have a boss sitting on a shelf. I know, but not the stupid one with the Davy Crockett. Not the stupid one. Not the one that matters. Matt.
Starting point is 01:13:59 Thank you. You're welcome. Mary, this is awesome. Don't, don't disrupt the podcast stuff. The podcast is being disrupted guys. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you, man.
Starting point is 01:14:09 But I'm really angry. I couldn't give you the bad one. That's fucking rad. And I got myself a Godzilla figure when I was there. So Willie. I don't, I don't have, cause that's the thing is I don't have any kind of Ganon. I got a really shitty one that I got from the Nintendo store years ago that melted and is bending all over itself.
Starting point is 01:14:28 I didn't know. Like the first Ocarina of Time action figures are terrible, man. That's the one. You had a birthday. Yeah. And Twilight Princess is your favorite Ganon design or no? Well, as of now, it's Hyrule Warriors. Or do you mean Akuma?
Starting point is 01:14:44 It's Hyrule Warriors is the best, but this is the second easily. Not far behind it. How old are you, Willie? I'm now 31. That sucks. Yeah. It's still alive. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Well, there's, now there's no more like plausible deniability. Oh yeah. Do you know what I mean? Now you really have to have your shit together. Well, not just that, but like when I hit 30, I started to be like, I can feel my body deteriorating. Oh, it happens every day. Like, it's clear. Don't get mistaken.
Starting point is 01:15:14 Yeah. So no, basically. What did you do on your birthday? It wasn't anything fancy. Things just don't go as good or last as long. I bet. First half of the day, I set that up for you. You were going to set that up.
Starting point is 01:15:27 Yeah, there you go. Hey, buddy, I'm right there. Yeah. Had some roti, had some island food with the family. Yeah. Did all that stuff and it was good. Good curry dinner. And then a rather lunch and then for dinner, I split a 40 ounce porterhouse.
Starting point is 01:15:43 That shit was insanity. 40 ounce. 40 ounce. Yeah, there's a place over on Notre Dame called Grinder. It's a really good meat house. I've never been to that. All right. So throw that on social media.
Starting point is 01:15:58 Woolly is a big fan of Grinder. It's a great meat house. Sure. Go get the finest cuts. Sure. Wow. I feel like you were set up. Everybody's real cut over here.
Starting point is 01:16:09 Yep. It's delicious. It's fantastic. I highly recommend it. Can't get enough meat in your mouth. Nope. It's fantastic. Just, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:18 All right. Stuffed. We, okay. Yeah. All right. 40. 40 ounce. 40 ounce.
Starting point is 01:16:26 You split between two. Yeah. You need two people to handle that. And the fun part is you actually get to, you get to contrast the, because you get some, you get like the different types of cuts together. I bet. I bet. So you have like your like your shank and your flank and whatnot kind of cuts.
Starting point is 01:16:43 But you're a flank man. I said, well, you have your porterhouse rip cuts and then you have your filet mignon cut. So you actually get to taste the difference between different types of steaks in one shot. Oh yeah. Yeah. Let's go down and just try them all. All right.
Starting point is 01:16:55 Yes. Penises in my mouth. Big old penises. Just right in the mouth from a birthday, the biggest off of the app grinder. Okay. So how fast did I find the penis for my mouth? Well, you should have done this at second one. You should have said the thing is when I turned away from the microphone and people could hear
Starting point is 01:17:19 me laughing, I off Mike, I'm not laughing at you and I'm not laughing at even the jokes I'm making myself. I'm laughing that I am a child and that this still makes me laugh all these years later. This is some elementary school. Yep. Childish shit. Yeah. Sometimes it has to be, you know, and it still cracks me up.
Starting point is 01:17:42 And the longer I can keep it going, well, everyone around me tries to maintain being an adult. Yep. The funnier it is to me. That's fine. I'm glad you enjoyed the steak, buddy. It's noble. It's noble.
Starting point is 01:17:56 It was a steak. It was good. I hope. It was fantastic. Because that's a nightmare. I ordered the giant steak and it sucked. No, no, no. It was fantastic.
Starting point is 01:18:04 Then you have to eat this thing you hate. Medium rare. Everything was great. Everyone had a thing done to perfection. So that was great. With a 30 year porto with it and I was like, solid, good pairing there. Anyway, JoJo goes on. It is awesome.
Starting point is 01:18:16 Have you seen that new intro? Yeah, I did. That's fat fucking. They did exactly what we wanted. They did exactly what we wanted and what we thought would do, but then they went beyond that. Yeah. Well, I mean, the moment you heard the full version of the song, you kind of got the
Starting point is 01:18:28 hit that they were going to do. Well, not just that, but like in the new intro remix, parts of the song that are not in the original intro are there. Yeah. For the full version. In addition to, in some cases, the animation is not just rolling back. It's rolling back to the first version of the intro. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Like fuck. Yeah. Yeah. And that, because in that full version of the song, that is the second verse plus bridge. Yeah. And it's the, the tradition of the, the enemy uses his true power on the intro continues. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:01 It's fucking great. Very good. Very good. So that's good. Watching that with a friend of mine. Hayato is totally the real hero of part four. Unbelievable. Like honestly, we're watching it and it's like getting emotional at how bad ass this
Starting point is 01:19:14 kid is. Josuke who? Struggling. Yeah. And actually keeping up with one of the strongest, most broken stands ever, right? An, like a normal person against a regular stand user is already impossible to win. Because they can't see it. This fucking kid is fighting the most busted thing and kind of keeping up.
Starting point is 01:19:36 It's nutty. Anyway. So that's great. And we're currently on the cliffhangeriest moment ever. Yes, you are. Which is, what is it, there are 53 seconds or something to solve the problem? We are at 53 seconds. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:50 Not a minute. No. No. The point that the last episode ends, there is sub one minute of time for the problem to be solved. We are at the end of another one bites the dust part two and we are at the beginning of diamond is unbreakable. Yes.
Starting point is 01:20:06 You're you're fucking it. So this this this is my favorite to my knowledge right now of how can they possibly prevail over this. Yeah. This is like the most dire the villain has one situation I have seen ever. Yeah. It's not the it's not the most dire and Jojo but and yeah, the resolution victory or otherwise is totally justified is like because usually they oh they're going to do a bullshit thing
Starting point is 01:20:38 like like a Jotaro at part three like that's kind of an asshole how that that works out. This is not an asshole. This is totally built up and earned. There's an appreciation for like the song choice as the end of the arc like title and how in each part it's like you if you're going to use a fucking important song it better be for a good reason. You know and like another one bites the dust is a really good example of that and I and like one that comes later is you hit stairway to heaven and it's like you don't use that
Starting point is 01:21:15 name unless it's really yeah. So I'm really happy that we're finally hitting that point in the animation. Good stuff. Not much else to say. I'm also really happy with like the point we're at is like now like blanket more aware pop culture knowledge in general of Yoshikage Kira. Yeah, that's great because he's the shit. Now people know about other David Bowie.
Starting point is 01:21:39 It's been a long fucking time of Dio being the end all and Dio's great but like Kira is just as good but people never knew about him so it's satisfying. Now the tragedy is that no one's on the Poochie train. That's a wild man and that's even deeper tragedy is no one knows that Valentine that's this is far away is all about justice. You were like four or five years away from that but the tragedy continues in that regard because the further we get the more there is to really you're going to be pushing that site 40 by the time people care about funny Valentine sites and sounds we have to show
Starting point is 01:22:20 you um fuck yeah oh my god yeah just do it just do it I saw I saw a tweet that Liz man that's possibly the other day or she's babysitting a kid and she's like yeah I played ff7 when I was in high school and the kids like wow that was forever ago you're so old that fuck really true we might not be at Steel Ball Run until at least 10 years go by. Wow! Well you have to chart between how long it took for the anime to start between phantom blood and now. That's not even the primary problem the primary problem is that Steel Ball Run is incredibly
Starting point is 01:23:02 long. It's like three or four times longer than the other arcs. Well you just have to you gotta sit down and put in the mat. That Steel Ball Run would be like what 80 episodes it'd be fucking long right? It might be as long as Stardust. But they make that shit fast though. They can possibly make it go as long as Stardust. Big fast.
Starting point is 01:23:20 It's horseback panels you know what I mean like a big old race anyway so yeah to keep moving down. And then they rode the horses. Shoutouts to KnuckleDoo winner of Capcom Cup 2016 fucking amazing good old good job also Ricky taking second place there holding down America legit against the invading menace that is Korea and Japan and so on and so forth. Korea is really coming up over the past couple years. And like infiltration and all those guys infiltration Justin Wong and I think Daigo all going out
Starting point is 01:23:54 round one kind of nutty at an event of this nature. Gotta make one way for the new blood. So really amazing. All these old stank grandpas can't stay around for that long. I played this weekend Secret Hitler which is finally somebody can tell me what this game actually is. Secret Hitler is the new board game. Are you Secret Hitler?
Starting point is 01:24:18 Now I am. Oh damn it. Game over. Liberals win. It's the new game from the community the people that made Cards Against Humanity. And they which I play over the weekend are super rich and super successful and are not going to release another board game unless they have a really good idea. Secret Hitler is a great idea.
Starting point is 01:24:37 It takes the best of games like Werewolf and anything where you have to discover who is the thing. So the gist of it is someone at this table is a trader figure the fuck out who it is. But it's more interesting than that. Because they're Secret Hitler. Because someone at this table is Secret Hitler. But also at this table are Liberals and Secret Fascists. Fascists.
Starting point is 01:25:00 Secret Fascists. Excuse me. And you don't know. So the Italians basically. You don't know who is a Fascist and who's not and Hitler doesn't know who's a Fascist and who's not. Yeah. But he's trying to get into power specifically he wants to become Chancellor.
Starting point is 01:25:13 So he needs Fascists. Yes. And so you basically are going around electing presidents and chancellors. You're voting in policies that are either liberal or fascist and the way it's set up is the president picks three random policies. Discards and it could be liberal or fascist. Discards one hands the chancellor to the chancellor discards one and puts one down. And then you all see what they played and get to decide who was honest who wasn't.
Starting point is 01:25:42 And they get to lie to everybody or tell the truth. As we go around. So it's one of those more social ones in which like actively lying is a large part of actively lying is a massive part of the game and paying attention to people's active lies. Yeah. It's huge. So hey you said you weren't for gun control or whatever the fuck but then you voted for
Starting point is 01:26:02 the fucking gun control pill your secret Hitler. It's really really. Oh that is like modern politics right. And then a further thing is is that the further you go into the game like by enacting Fascist policies the government gets more power and more power allows you to do more like things that's trampled on the rights of the players which can actually help you if you're liberal to find out who Hitler is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:25 You know. So like fascism works if you're benevolent. So you kind of want to sometimes to go but what if you accidentally elect secret Hitler then oh no game over. Yeah. Okay. Right. So that's what it is.
Starting point is 01:26:38 It's really fun. Is there a little mustache thing that comes with it. There's no little mustache thing. Okay. And I can because that's like a sticker. There's just a mustache you slap on somebody when they win. This is a game where I was playing with some of our mutual friends and I really thought I'm like I'm not an idiot.
Starting point is 01:26:53 I can feel that feeling you know and I think I'm confident here and like not only was it like a 50-50 type situation but the final game I got rocked so hard to my core due to my powers of observation like I went like four steps ahead when the person stopped at Yomi level two and fucking the game was it was nutty. So there's a there's a part of those games that always scares me like at a social like general level has something to do with the game. The part of that game is if you get rocked you go am I gullible and then following that or is this person that I know actually a massive liar slash capable or proficient liar.
Starting point is 01:27:41 Yeah. You learn that your friends are capable of nefarious evil and it doesn't it doesn't matter convincing manner. It doesn't matter whether they're good or you're dumb. All that matters is is that this situation is now unequal because it's been discovered that you cannot tell their lies apart like there was a discussion that happened at a point where I basically cut a deal with someone who was like OK it's me and this person against the rest of the fucking board and that person didn't trust me and I'm like OK look here's
Starting point is 01:28:14 how we secure this right here's how we lock it down. The next round you're going to the president's coming my president positions comes my way anyway. That's all right. I will guarantee you that I will elect you so that we you don't have to suspect me. I guarantee you you're going to get that. I could have been lying about that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:32 I said no. Yeah. All right. And you and I are going to now work on the real problem which is over there which is usually this and it was like we fucking went and we went back and forth is like fine OK did it got it was true to my word elected the person. Are you Hitler. She's like yes I am game over got fucking rocked on my own stupid plan.
Starting point is 01:28:49 Good. Trying to death note it. Good job. Good job. Trying to death note it. And then like I'm smarter than this game. No you're not. No you're not.
Starting point is 01:28:58 No you're not. K Kaku is happening to you damn because the whole time they're putting up a fight against your bullshit. You're like the more I put up a fight the more he's going to want to do this. It's great. It's great. Because if you're like OK fine we're going to go with this plan and they go oh great you're going to be like wait what yeah you know and then people stuff to vote at that
Starting point is 01:29:16 point. So anyway so that's happening. I finished off mirrors edge catalyst. So I can now say what's going on with this. A lot of the best stuff in the game is locked towards the last half of it shit. Now there's still some problems and there's areas that sound cool on paper look good in concept art but don't look as good when presented with the actual I don't like that. But there's some really good stuff as well.
Starting point is 01:29:46 So you get you literally get a zone that looks a bit odd and then like three that look fantastic right. You get some way better set pieces. You get some really fun like whatever runs that you get sent on. And in the end I am going to say that I'm going to prefer playing this over mirrors edge one. I'm going to be going back to this more than that. And the tragedy here is it's the same as mirrors edge one in that like story is actually better
Starting point is 01:30:17 because it's dumber. Okay. Right. Yes. The way they go with the story in this is dumber and thus more enjoyable. Yes. Right. And then in the post game and in collecting secret documents and stuff you learn more
Starting point is 01:30:30 about the world and that world building is super strong. But it's not in the actual story narrative. You know and that fucking sucks. You find out about things like how the like the world they live in it's like yes it's this dystopian future and like you know they refer to the gray lands you're not quite sure does that mean like apocalypse wasteland outside and it's like not necessarily what it means is that the government and the conglomerates that run the city are the same one thing. And the year and Anno Domini has been replaced with fiscal year as a marker of time.
Starting point is 01:31:06 When you see different colored areas like you see in mirrors edge and whatnot those colors are the different corporations areas and they're all dedicated to a specific thing. There's lots of really gray land doesn't necessarily mean gray lands apocalypse. It just means outside of active corporate control is Detroit there for it has no social service. It's under corporate control but it's where the low caste people live working in the smog factories of the smog making hunger. Yes.
Starting point is 01:31:34 Yes. And that they produced a hardware that makes the perfect pristine city of glass as as beautiful as it is. The shard exists again and the shard is fucking cooler than it ever was. It's worth going through it and it's and if you can I know one's going to go collect all those collectibles but find the video on YouTube and that goes through the audio logs and stuff because there's really interesting there's better characters better character depth despite the stupid parts.
Starting point is 01:32:01 And I know I know and no you're saying no it's just like it's disappointing and there's narrative twists that only come through in the post game that sucks that sucks. That's how they played it out. Oh man. I want you to run and find out things as you run you know so but in the end if you just want to just do the free running thing in general ignore the rest it's still a better place to go than the original I will say. Not without its flaws but I'm going to all right everybody get crack your neck fucking
Starting point is 01:32:32 stretch it out. I'm pretty sure that's the end of this week which means it's time to hit this fucking news. There's one. Oh there is more. There's more. Okay. No one else.
Starting point is 01:32:44 Final Fantasy 15. I am waiting for the pro patch. Okay. I downloaded it. I've not started it. The pro patch is supposed to kick that game up to 60 FPS which is a fucking enormous improvement and even if it's only a marginal performance improvement it is coming. All right I'm 12 hours in and so far it's really enjoyable.
Starting point is 01:33:02 But the size of the world the map and how much time you have to spend. It doesn't have enough shit. No there's too much. There's so much shit. Oh I've heard the reverse. There's so much shit but it's not that it's that the time it takes to get from the various point A's to point B's is fucking slow and long and there's a lot of down time traveling. Well thankfully you have a bunch of conversations.
Starting point is 01:33:26 Yeah and you have cars and chocobos but you know what sometimes it's not enough. Why would a chocobo eat why would anyone even look at a chocobo if they have a car. It's not abysmal but it's really really nice. Loading from one area to area. Like fast traveling is not quite fast traveling but there's sometimes you have a car. But there's areas where it's like okay the checkpoint where my car is parked and then the objective marker for this next mission it's gonna be like maybe two minutes of running to get there.
Starting point is 01:33:57 Woolly. I might as well just do the quick fucking you know the quick teleport and that might be like not enough time. If you're playing through 15 now and you're enjoying that big open world RPG thing then you're like prepping yourself for the ability to appreciate something like New Vegas or Witcher 3. Perhaps. Like because a lot of the flaws in 15 are endemic to that genre but the foot travel
Starting point is 01:34:29 in 15 seems like pretty off even compared to those other ones. It just takes so long. You go to a gas station, take a mission, run into the bush. It takes over five minutes to running into the bush going and killing a big thing in a big fight and then running back and you're like that transit time half of this 20 minute mission was just spent running. Is it like one of those things where like at hour 30 or hour 40 you'll get a thing that alleviates all of this.
Starting point is 01:35:00 At some point there's a flying car. I know there's a flying car and I know that you can also again you can teleport quick travel and you can choke a bow back ride. But it's still just like. So what you want is either a Bethesda style fast travel which works and is near instant or like Witcher 3 has the ability where you just double click on one of the analog sticks and a horse shows up instantly and you ride at 100 times your speed. Or what would be great is because you're doing side missions hunting things it'd be great
Starting point is 01:35:26 if I didn't have to report every hunted mission back to the stop to the shop. Yes. You can't report them all in one go. You can't report them all in one go. You can't take more than one at a time. So you're out in the bush and you've got to run back and then run back again to the area. Hunting.
Starting point is 01:35:40 A block down. Yeah. And in tactics. That's very much like the hunting thing as in hunting games. Oh right. And in this case very much I really just want to go. I check off all these missions and I'm going to go out into the bush do these battles and then report them all back in to save time.
Starting point is 01:35:57 Yeah. It doesn't let you. You're the FF 15 seems really good. I haven't played it yet but it seems good. And those are problems that other games so other games like FF 15 that were in development and came out before it yeah solve those problems already interesting but 15 didn't I guess because because it took too long or whatever because that problem used to exist like eight years ago.
Starting point is 01:36:23 Yeah. And it's not here anymore except for this one. For now you're the closest thing to a solution is Chocobos and you know like that that negates some of it. Chocobo I will say that like at least the main roads that you're more or less quest forced to look to drive down have tons of amazing sightseeing or like what the fuck is that beautiful giant crazy glowing thing over there. I'm going to go look at it.
Starting point is 01:36:46 You don't have to but you probably should yeah I'm going to look and like really and side quests that have you know we were talking about how side quests that have like not just a blurb of text and nothing but like actually have cut scenes and interesting yeah like progression and whatnot this obviously with the crazy budget it has has side quests that have really cinematic elements to them. The video going around of the cup of noodles that's hilarious man. So there's one where you're taking out a one eyed behemoth yeah that was in dusk yeah okay so that was that's a pretty good example of like optional content that's pretty that's
Starting point is 01:37:23 fleshed out according to main content nicely done yeah like yeah I like the character so far everything's fine. Noctis being emo sasuke fucking emo kid is actually quite fun because there's moments of like you're like you go on a pseudo date with this girl that's kind of like oh wow isn't this interesting and like you get to choose to feign ignorance or a feign not giving a shit disinterest or like just kind of responding to the lines with whatever and a bunch of the time you kind of most of his lines are just kind of like oh yeah okay sounds like terrors house I had a playing it out there as a friend of mine great what you imagine
Starting point is 01:38:00 squall would sound like so I had a friend of mine who basically just said she she says this is what ff8's tone should have been it's what squall should this is what sounded like writing failures yeah and such in eight and that universe caused it to be a shit show but like this is what they were actually going for right it's really entertaining the Renault like running around being super happy and like you're just getting dragged into it and your ellipses is audible in the form of good also like the whole emo kid with not emo kids works a lot better with voice acting because sure like Zell Zell and Renault and what a fucking quistis and all that right there and selfie rather their energy does
Starting point is 01:38:44 not come across as hard as opposition to squalls as the the boy band group does to Noxus yeah like I say sorry a noctis no noctis yeah cuz cuz like I'm seeing a bunch of clips of noctis being like and his stupid crew is like and he's like whatever and it's stupid yeah and they know but then they're like yo you want to play a fucking mobile game and he's like yeah I guess and then it's like oh he's I'm having fun I mean yeah right anyway so yeah that's that's Japan cut out the transit time you'd have a pretty decent game so far but it's fucking killing me slowly softly let's get into the PlayStation experience shall we we have a lot of stories and we talked about Marvel we know now no only 37 okay we talked about Marvel we're
Starting point is 01:39:37 gonna blow past the ones that don't all right Marvel's gone all right okay Street Fighter 5 okay well I oh wait I just wanted to get that one yeah you're right no you're not wrong cuz that's that's the one we're most likely to spend more time on that we have to fight ourselves I don't know Akuma got announced his hair looks like shit visually worst Akuma his hair looks like shit he looks like an idiot peeking they're going lion oh they're going lion oh lion asura statue he looks like shit moves look cool I'm excited to see him in the game um everything else is fine like he looks so much better than Tekken 7 like like it looks like night and day but if we just got normal default to Kuma again I would have been bored but no but I'd like a cool redesign just not
Starting point is 01:40:22 that yeah so but again much like move out of the way shark I want to see the water get out of my face Akuma all of season 2's characters will be newcomers that's awesome so I don't know whether the terminology on that was clear enough to mean yeah characters you've never seen I I was our characters that have never been I was Street Fighter under the hard impression that it was new dude I don't I don't know I don't trust that no I mean like is is Lucia from final fight 3 is she like that's a no no no I don't think they're I don't think they're all brand new characters that have never showed up I think it's gonna totally possibly be never playable in a Street Fighter a combination right that first silhouette looking kind of like Ingrid is rustling me good yeah
Starting point is 01:41:09 you're real rustle I'm getting real rustled on that man I think it's a great character she was an out great game what's your problem you you convinced in me or yourself no I don't care I assume it's a character that has not been playable in a mainline Street Fighter game I assume I assume they mean not in five you know what I mean no I I don't think Cody well only it says five completely new characters that's pretty unambiguous maybe they're kind of but but but is it yes if they don't mean like Evil Ryu or Mar you know what I mean weird stuff like that it's completely new characters yeah we'll find out the fray the word completely is pretty definitive he's right I guess they could be lying they could be huge wires well let's have lied before lest we forget
Starting point is 01:41:58 that Nitsuma tweeted out in November there is no Marvel 4 project in develop current well fighting game developers are known massive big big big wires right literally tweeted that out the same month that are rather days before to be fair there was no Marvel 4 yes this is not considered Marvel 4 Marvel Ultimate sorry Marvel Infinite is considered a part of the whatever like a new reboot hair looks like fucking shit so the thing about Akuma is he's basically got a pretty interesting he's got no fireball that goes full screen unless he activates V trigger yeah he's got an uppercut that has a slam down kind of like his ultra in as oni when you activate V trigger as well it's a lot more like Evil Ryu's ultra a raging demon that lets you see what he's doing to you yeah which
Starting point is 01:42:56 breaks cannon we thought it was the demon coming out but I guess not we didn't just think that we were actively told that by Tiamat and some other crazy shit like an air fireball that you can do jumping backwards he's also got his a shard slam from third strike yeah that's how we just saw and and a big old chop that jumping chop like we know but it's not an overhead so it's interesting he's got the weakest health in the game so far of course he does the end of course he does pretty low stun as well we're gonna see how that works out but yeah man he's back I don't know what to make of those other silhouettes I really don't well if they're completely new characters there's not much for you to make of them right because you have no chance and they're not doing it like
Starting point is 01:43:40 like they did the last group where you could just see who they were yeah anyway so uh there's that and then there's uh a few other details that were released about the 2017 Street Fighter 5 season number one thing that I thought interesting wasn't that balance change was that wake up non EX sure use will lose across the board to meetings so you're looking at uh if it yeah if it's not if it's a non EX sure you can it's no longer fully invincible um but we don't know about whether that means they're gonna be fully crush counterable or not without the if that's still nuts we'll have to see that's still nuts that's invincible flash kicks that that's like going all the way back to like early early sf2 like style like sure use so uh reversal timing and shit serious nerfing to
Starting point is 01:44:28 anti air jabs so that would that's a thing honestly I hate anti air jabs not because I don't like like to use them because they're really effective they're great but it's so stupid it's so I don't know gamey it's so it's so like and I mean that in terms of like gaming the system okay like you never you have a dedicated anti air normal that should be what you like it never feels like intentional it it always feels like you're breaking it well it's because and if you're slow on the uptake and you're late you can still do it and then you're yeah that's like do characters with these giant diagonal upwards kicks and it's like why would you ever do that when you could just jab on reaction well because you shouldn't be able to I don't know I don't know about that but
Starting point is 01:45:16 and uh you know and plus there's some reports coming in Filipino champ talking about how Dalsim's normals are now plus from full screen all kinds of minute little things are going on but the point is is that some housekeeping is happening with three five or five in general which shows basically going forward that they're going to more or less have one rebalance a year make sense with I guess a pack of stages that absolutely makes sense you put all the characters out you examine the game over the past year yep you make some changes you let people sit on it for a year I like the sound of that now uh at PSX a whole lot was announced on stage and off stage like crazy but now to be fair there's only one game worth talking about well of course okay that's
Starting point is 01:45:59 omen of sorrow because there's like I have oh close to 40 things on uh yes those are cute hold on there's something on this list of sorrow there's something on this list in terms of announcement that I have to talk about because I played it and I forgot and that was let it die because let it die just came out yes that day yes no please the only way no advertisements the only way for us to go through this is fast all right let's sanity let's go but it's like it's more like this I don't want to blow like people hated it when we just went like two seconds and moved on oh that was so much fun but people hated it yeah they wanted more thoughts we're not doing that all right what I will do is this I have the list here and if it's a game that we don't actively have much to say we go huh that's
Starting point is 01:46:39 cool we'll just blow past it and that's the only way to go all right literally everyone if you have nothing to say about say huh that's cool yeah okay so first is aro from madfellows huh that's cool now this game that's cool this game is no this is fucking cool okay sure go ahead now what's cool about this is um it is basically taking lessons from res huh that's cool umper and make you only have to say it once res and thumper and creating a rhythm shooter rumber that actually is more on point with the music than those games were to really okay yeah uh go check out the trailer for it and how do you spell that uh a ro yeah i'm glad i asked because that a a e r o because that's hard to air the the video i linked to in the podcast notes is not the trailer but it's an interview
Starting point is 01:47:32 they did and they show you two extended clips of footage where you get to hear the music and how it syncs up nicely it sounds really fucking dope that's cool so yeah actually worth it um so there's that next is what's next what's what we have solver yeah now this is from slow clap this is fighting game where you uh and did devolver online rpg fighting game online rpg fighting game slowly build your character jade empire should have been where creepy masks and learn different styles might be interesting might not be we don't know enough about the mechanics i need to be but i'm interested in the premise of this game yeah feel that game to care you know like it i'm not sure about like every everyone wearing masks in the game kind of makes everyone kind of feel like not that special
Starting point is 01:48:12 you know what i mean like it's kind of the nature of an online game also i'm sure you're right the games that are like definitely worth it are things that are liam we're gonna just kind of kind of come back and tell us about because they actually played because he's there yeah right um and he's hopefully gonna tell us about what i hope absolver is good tell me about uh tell me a story so what's the devolver thing devolver is really an absolver and ruiner ruiner oh any word with er at the end yeah we'll take it next is uh celeste i got none on this oh that's cool uh matt makes games i mean i haven't yet but maybe one day oh that's cool that's crash bandicoots insane trilogy uh appreciated looks really sharp parts of those games suck you're gonna play the
Starting point is 01:48:57 first one you'll be like yep and then that's it no you're gonna play the first one and go huh and then play the second one oh the second one and then you're gonna play up until you get to the with the polar bear level and then you're gonna quit so these are being made by vicarious visions the guys who are behind the tony hawk ports for the gameboy advance well they made lots of shit lots of crazy shit yeah they're they made a bunch of crash games themselves actually but uh you know they're picking up a naughty dog uh let go here and uh we'll see i guess i think for all you crash fans this is for you i like crash bandicoots i just never played them really i played the first one and that was it uh danganronpa v3 killing harmony this what is what danganronpa is this a new
Starting point is 01:49:40 dangan granpa new danganronpa it's the third game yes third game six seven no there's really three plus ultra despair and an anime and a vr game and a second anime it's a demo but you know what i mean i'm confused with constantly how many there's there's so few there's there's matt in all honesty literally listed five matt in all honesty the first one's called danganronpa the second one's called danganronpa two and this one's called danganronpa v3 it's not that hard there's one side story like there's also there are numbers in these titles no one has no one has to tell me we're court now you want to get confused fucking let's talk about zero escape and that naming fucking nightmare it's real that's worse but here's the other bit right despite possibly you know not giving it a chance
Starting point is 01:50:24 based on like art style and whatnot and so on they're fantastic games and really worth your time i'm excited for this because of how cool the story was in the first ones and ultra despair girls and this is yeah this is gonna be this is a reset so this is a new starting point that that probably won't have is it yeah are you sure no i'm not on yeah but but the anime was released to close off that storyline so that we could move into a brand new series it's what the guy that's making it said yeah and as we've discussed people are liars destiny's the dawning uh coming off of that looks cool huh who gives a fuck rules of iron patch i mean that's cool that's cool all right uh dino frontier okay what is this what is this i've
Starting point is 01:51:06 i've not i've not heard of this so it's a game where you're dragging people around you're the glove it's like vr style yeah and uh you can drop them into the mouths of the dinosaurs why is there a western thing because it's like the good the bad and the ugly but the ugly are the dinosaurs all right i'm on board that's what the trailer was very on board with that um because fuck yeah yeah i don't know that art is amazing it reminds me of um um what's that western game on the uh every console ever released by one guy uh gunman clive yeah it reminds me of every console ever do you mean one three ds and then wasn't it you that's it yeah you're right that's every console ever too excuse me i thought he ported it a lot all over the place well just like how you were
Starting point is 01:51:47 confused i'm confused what one's not a console and one is the least selling console ever excuse me happens to the best of us which none of us are i didn't say any of us were yeah i know also ios and windows so actually it's on for an android platform so okay i'm gonna point out that three of the four of those are not consoles that's fine that's fine but i got put it we got it went to pc as well so yeah it goes to pc that's every console ever okay eventually i guess uh dread not of course it's dread you love dread not looks and sounds great dread not suffering from the problem that every single one of those games has in which its trailer is unintelligible um it's like all you can do is show billions of ships shooting guns and it's so fucking confusing if i can be
Starting point is 01:52:35 space captain harlock then i'll that's all i need you can be yeah that's fine that's fine with me you can do that for ps4 looks looks cool evalkary evalkary yep um fallen legion is interesting because this is a game that looks like a vanilla ware style art when you see it in motion um not as good and not as polished but still you know kind of cool in that regard because i played that earth's dawn game that's yeah woolly the characters don't have their asses and titties exploding out through the glass but nothing like a vanilla ware game but the art style is very of the sprites is very painterly and when you see it moving they kind of breathe in that vector based animation style that is reminiscent of vanilla ware especially when you have to see it in motion yeah i know i i
Starting point is 01:53:17 believe you but i'm just saying there's no big ass titties on that screen yeah they're on a glacier edge yeah i mean i can't even see them anyway um gameplay looks possibly really simplistic i can't tell if it's sort of going for like pad upon well you can get five chain you know 14 but again based on the trailer it looks like it's kind of a really quick progressive rpg that you kind of roll through and i'm sure liam can tell us a bit more when that comes back around uh the flame and the flood man there's way more games than i thought yep because i haven't heard about oh that's cool the trailer for this looks pretty interesting um musically nice looks like a nice old adventure uh that's cool you know what i mean um i don't have time to pull up the trailers for all of these
Starting point is 01:53:55 of course that's all i can say but this is an alphabetical order damn it uh games of glory this looks like uh that looks to be honest the trailer seems like yeah goro bark of the wolves sorry guys we got to try that again it's mark of the wharves yeah so that got ported to ps4 and we talked about that already go buy it hand of fate too uh don't know what the fuck that is looks like shit honestly not trying to say about it based on what looks like a mobile game um human fall flat looks like gang beasts why does that look so much like gang because it's gang beast adventure okay gameplay is is gang beast adventure that's exciting it's that's very exciting no it's not gang beast no but if you're into that type of goofy running around physics-based
Starting point is 01:54:47 ragdolling that's what you're gonna get so that's what's up let it die of course now we can talk about so yeah let it die really really strong start sweary souls wrong sorry pseudosols and still wrong does he even still work there anymore yes but he doesn't work on this uh not in a directorial or producer role so why was he like at the booth because he's the guy he's the guy is he not look at that guy he's not the guy he's not all right so straight up this is not this is not a really really take take take a guess take a fucking guess what is the last game suda 51 ever directed take a guess okay so he's producing sure but like i'm gonna say no more heroes to no there's one one okay last thing is direct all right so straight up really strong start very
Starting point is 01:55:40 grasshopper really zany really weird uh mexican uh guy who's uh death with crazy glasses and a skateboard really cool uh uh floor to floor dungeon crawling beat him up controls remarkably similar to dark souls that's all i was trying to get at um controls like shit yeah controls like absolute shit and it's really cool and i wanted to play more of it but it love you really nothing cancels your attacks your role does not cancel your attacks uh yeah there the the the it's interesting that like they're going for souls like things and i can't quite tell it was too early there wasn't enough to play to see what it would feel like when you leveled up your character maybe your weapon set would compensate maybe you're you know what i mean like there'd be other things about
Starting point is 01:56:34 a couple swings for each way it's it's really basic and controls very poorly uh looks good sounds good really cool premise really well developed like in terms of like the the systems like you know the clothes the leveling system stuff like that but like it just controls really badly it plays badly and it's a bummer yeah but it's free to try so yeah if you if you like that you can when i when i played at pax t so it's not blown away i was like i hope this turns out better than it is right now because i'm wasn't having all that much fun i still need to actually try the finish further yeah when i the demo i played at pax was fine but i feel like for souls like things i'm more excited for neo than i am for you should be for this you should be because that game's dope
Starting point is 01:57:20 yeah there we know when it comes to souls alternatives like there's better places to go right now i sure hope everyone's a wacky zany setting though i sure hope everyone buys the mini buys because if they don't this will literally be a money sink yeah it's it's free because it's free yeah uh gung ho is doing uh what they do i don't know man uh marvelers capcom infinite we know nothing much to say about it yeah that game's gonna suck we shouldn't talk about it stupid uh you know what i was i love that x is in every piece of art every screenshot every sink like it could not be more prominent i was hoping for a more bold um decision with the 3d art style but you know um this is gonna be fine now man they're gonna roll out a billion characters they need they
Starting point is 01:58:01 need it to be also they can't be so non realistic that the the mcu characters are you know what there's something i forgot to say about that as somebody who does not read comic books and is now way more familiar with the mcu versions of those characters than the comic book versions even though i do wiki diving to find out stuff like this decision feels like i get that comic book fans are gonna be like feel slighted that it's the movie versions of these characters but that's the version of those characters that most people know yeah and i that's understandable i get to finally feel like i know and can care about every character in that game now yeah and that's and that's most people doctor strange is now something that people are like oh yeah hey that like i remember when
Starting point is 01:58:46 ultimate gotta announce some like nova and iron fit who the fuck is that rocket raccoon why and it's like because he's gonna come out soon right yeah you don't care now but you will care soon yeah yeah anyway that's the iron fist yeah and iron fist hasn't dropped on netflix but guess what retroactively you will give a shit yeah exactly anyway um ah shit i had one more point on it but let's move on um megaton rainfall this is a game vr game about like basically destroying earth works for me tons of ways to wreck the planet it's really been shit lately it's it's hard to tell from the trailer whether you are doing the destroying or trying it's all gotta go man but the trailer is all about like just the end of civilization it's all gotta go might be interesting
Starting point is 01:59:30 it's a vr game um yeah i'm a baseball game just keep scrolling that's a baseball uh mover die hey i'm gonna keep mother of leeds they have a video of that on the channel go check out mother rush of leeds it's a good game that came out on ps4 randomly also on saturday along with goro i like when they do that but it was already on steam and it was a really good beat them up go check it out next machina next machina is the next game from house mark the guy's behind rezzel gun and this looks super fucking cool it both looks cool land and very boring um next machina if you in the footage of it it's basically looks like a twin stick where you're controlling a guy on foot and not a ship shooting a bunch of robots the way the trailer setup is pretty awesome because it's
Starting point is 02:00:12 like dudes in his vr headset drinking his pop his just drinking eating popcorn whatever the fuck tosses the can at the robot that's doing the housekeeping and it starts glowing red is like oh you fucking we're gonna uprise on you any minute now the problem any minute now i mean i'm just gonna go back to the desktop robot based dead nation dead nation it's not that good in any case i trust house mark um near automata hey that looks great isn't there a demo supposed to come with like i've been hearing stuff that there's a demo's gonna be released really soon that game they thought they showed off more of the combat it looks like revengeants it looks like explicitly like revengeant so is it anything like near at all other than the fact that's called near and
Starting point is 02:00:55 probably have good music uh all the stuff in that trailer is super fucking weird just like near everything that's not distinctly platinum is probably gonna be distinctly near like it's it's tough for you to appreciate because near is so fucking weird and so so many very specific ways but that trailer screams near and then there's fighting and it looks like platinum but like everything else is weird near near near for some reason like look how that enemy that will he's got a screenshot of a near automata up where the the enemy is like a weird little block golem guy and he looks kind of fucking lame that's nearest fuck yeah the enemy that's really threatening looks kind of like a loser like a lou yeah okay looks like yoko taro's face because
Starting point is 02:01:39 the problem the problem is that that enemy may be a loser or he may be super cool he looks like for some reason naks not on this list but there's an act two and it's two players now there's a blue one yeah mark serny's like hey we know what's up hey i'm going to make sure my dumb thing gets a sequel because i'm mark serny nino cooney two revenant kingdom um even less to do with uh miazaki and and you know cooney one is a magical wonderful game that i can't stand and it makes me upset but i love studio ghibli's art style so sort of seeing that adapted into i gotta why even call this nino cooney two i just think it's a brand record that has nothing in it that's right that's right man all right i'm to talk to me like i'm paul yeah yeah okay i hope it's a better game i really
Starting point is 02:02:27 do the first one was good it just had a couple flaws which is crazy and was was so slow and long it's the hardest anime that ever it's the hardest anime i've ever ran open yes all right so this is another the thing is you have ki to fill this i saw this and thought matt had fucking snuck in and done some bullshit but omen of sorrow is a game from a one games and it is a fighting game all about games is made of uh former developers that made xeno clash yeah so uh it's got dr hide and dr jackals it's got a vampire guy vampire guy it's got a demon girl it's got monsters werewolves and zombies western dark stalkers and 3d all that stuff um we will find out more it's just literally someone that said let's give the best friend something to play let's give matt something
Starting point is 02:03:22 to play well for fisticust is what i mean like it's just it's just so charmingly stupid that classical classical american horror monsters showing up to punch each other hey no one owns these rights yeah like i said ki had you covered on this no no no no no i hope you're a good fighting hopefully it turns out better than it being a movie for a game version of league of extraordinary gentlemen yeah well i can tell you right now i see three bars so that's matt get working on your blaze blue style photoshop take that as you will i am uh we've got orcs mystine that game exists on hey pc and is a pseudo moba pad upon remasters of parappa the rapper pad upon and uh loco roco so the funniest part about this is that the loco roco and pad upon titles got a bigger pop than the video
Starting point is 02:04:08 for parappa which is uh kind of sad but pad upon is awesome dude pad upon is great i fucking love pad upon it's really good okay good you know it's the best it's super it has one problem which will be solved in this remaster the problem is the game the problem is that that pad upon and and uh loco roco are like legit good games and parappa the rap is funny to laugh it's a it's a product of its time it's an okay rhythm game you know what though like it has enough like groundswell in terms of like people just loving the character yeah but yeah so then they'll play the first song and be like yeah but but at least they were but you get they get to remember you know what was it you know what was a ps1 and then regret possibly but remember you know it was a ps1 primarily single player
Starting point is 02:04:56 rhythm game that was way better than parappa i'm jammerline me frequency buster groove yeah that game isn't way better than parappa buster groove is the best because the soundtrack is so good that's never coming back oh boys never very very very very very very good uh pyr from this is the weirdest game super giant this is the weirdest game what is played basketball for your soul well what is up with multiple companies going with fantasy sports in this kind of well single moment as we all as we all know sports are terrible however if you had fantasy elements maybe you can wash that terrible sports taste out of people's mouths fantasy and really good writing and cool characters and the premise in between the matches in pyre the premise for pyre is so awesome you know what your characters
Starting point is 02:05:51 magical ability is what is it he's the only person in your team that can read yep that's what makes your character stand out you're an outcast from society and when you get outcasted you discover that this like sub tier strat of this cast this lower cast no one's able to read you can read these squiggles and since you're able to read you're able to help them out and perform soul basketball which is kind of where it loses me but there's you know you've got the big character to for the big blocking and the small fast guy for the fast passing and you you shoot the ball and you dunk it and i love how the logo is like someone's drawing a pentagram and then they gave up yeah and what else i like the it trails off like what else i like greg is often was doing the tour
Starting point is 02:06:38 a while ago and he was on the bomb cast and all these different podcasts and talking about pyre not ours and no greg seven will not come on our podcast he's like a he's like a cool guy uh anyway and every single fucking time people like so when are you gonna announce the verses mode is like i'll be honest there is no verses mode because we're not that big of a team and it's hard right and if people keep asking i guess we'll think about it and i remember that being like over a year ago and now there's a verses mode yeah because i imagine that's like this game is gonna get fucked up if it has no verses mode but it's a three on three sports game dude like dude i know what and i think that's everyone else's assumption and at some point that
Starting point is 02:07:27 team must have been like okay guys hmm yeah we probably have to put a verses that's weird um but you know what though i trust super massive man i trust them so much because uh you know super the bastion's great and fucking transistors hey guess what even if that game sucks we get a new poster for the office yeah um transistor is one of my favorite games of all time of all times so uh yeah can they can sort of see it no maybe i don't know hold it okay well you should wait you should wait yeah hold it up for the audio audience yeah exactly i thought we said there is a poster of transistor there's a poster of transistor in the office alongside the other dump posters we're putting up so it's good stuff uh and the transistor had multiplayer
Starting point is 02:08:09 did it that you unlocked afterwards are you crazy no wait wasn't there are you insane yeah i don't remember are you a crazy person no i didn't finish was this a dream that you had it might have been are you writing fanfiction about transistor having multiplayer because of the way that ended for you being one of your favorite games at all of all time you should probably know hey matt your god's a little poster's off-center do you mind if i fix it later oh okay i don't think it might be off-center i think it's because the entire office is off-center i can deal with that you sure feel because you're the one that has to look at it from that well no because because it has to be okay sure good anyway well we don't have enough information continuing on it had that there was
Starting point is 02:08:51 supposed to be that there was supposed continuing down this list yeah there's there's a notable game missing from this list that was because it's not at psx and we will be remiss if we don't mention it so i will keep that in my mind sure keep go keep going willy let's go let's go let's go no i just i needed to verify i'm like i'm like why did i think that it's because transistor was supposed to have multiplayer and they announced uh oh they did the reverse they announced it okay yeah that sucks uh all right seven we final demo good demo really good demo yeah fucking strafe strafe video of that on our channel announced for ps4 that game's dope old school i'm not sure you can keep it up with it but like that came from like the little demo that we played till like it's a big ass game with
Starting point is 02:09:31 tons of shit now like it's oh i think we were pretty obvious when we talked that there was like an early fucking fix oh yeah but like the scope of it has like gotten way bigger since because it would used to be a Kickstarter then devolver got a hold of it so now it's like do you like the old era of first person shooting games in early 3d like quick it's gonna be rough for this and dusk that we also played to like yeah that's the one with the crazy upside down shooting yeah yeah okay push it just push it push all these bad old shooters surging simulator oh yeah that's what can you scroll faster kof is yeah a graphics update that we talked about last awesome huh that's very significant uh last of us part two is all right so that trailer was like
Starting point is 02:10:16 they start like it starts out it's like this could be anything it's trees yeah they're pretty true and then you and then you okay what at what point did you know it was going to be last of us when the one the car pop yeah that okay the second yeah like the second camera movement is like there's a rusted car okay that's last yeah and then it goes back a third one you get the firefly sign on the stop sign and it's like yeah pop um i said before that i wish that revisiting the last of us would not mean revisiting joel and ellie yes i i you said that i said that i think even matt said that and maybe evenly i'm thinking everybody pretty much agreed on that yep and moment we showed up we all agreed that that was not going to be the case that they were absolutely gonna go back
Starting point is 02:11:00 not only am i surprised to see that they're back here in this new trailer looking fucking gorgeous yeah might i add but you know what i was actually happy when i saw that yep i i i can't pretend here's the thing welly here's what it is you didn't want them to come back because you wanted to have them and have a complete whole story story that is simple and that is out of genuine like artistic like idealism i guess i would call it but your fucking stupid lizard human brain went i know that person and i like them and that's all there is to it that's all there is to it can't quite it it's a little more simplistic than that rather than like man i wish this had stayed a perfect pristine story that had a start
Starting point is 02:11:45 and an end but paul is like sorry though was too successful so like i i'm never going to begrudge no we don't leave that money out like take that money off the table but i kind of wish i don't want this to become last of us three or four i don't think anyone at naughty dog if they wanted to make a game about different people i don't think someone would have been in their way telling them nah you got to make it jolyn ellie no no i'm not saying that i think they wanted to do this i'm saying the last of us in general and i was kind of like i don't want this to become like there's a fourth last of us like uncharted i don't want it to be like god of war where there's seven of here here's the way you know here's the perfect part though they clearly
Starting point is 02:12:31 know that and believe it just as strongly as we do which is why they called the game part two parts two there's it's not two implying a long future it's part two as in that was the start of their time together and this will be the second part maybe of three maybe of four but it implies like a cohesiveness the inclusion of part two is it tells it helps a couple things it does because like last of us was like in my top of the games of the year it's not like i i just like it but it's kind of those idealistic sort of man wish you could have just and uh and drop the mic and then laugh and our old pal ellie will now be our primary playable character uh that's been confirmed uh who do you like more older ellie or older clementine older ellie older ellie
Starting point is 02:13:22 yeah i'm kind of turning on clementine a little bit yeah me too look oh ellie never disappointed me no basically um but it's it's a it's a it's a brave new world and we get to have uh she gets to join laircroft in the uh uh young women who turn out to be horrible vicious murderers yeah uh uh aspect of the game industry that we're moving into because like joel you look at joel and in last of us won and as soon as you time jump to his older character that guy's done some shit right like immediately immediately right away right and if you had a new and he's and he's like dealing with shady people equally as bad and normally when you had a character that is a young woman that looks like kind of not pristine but like goodly like ellie like a nice girl next
Starting point is 02:14:15 door or whatever you would have a lot of trouble casting that character in a role like this yeah and having people be cool with it but we played that game and ellie's done some shit when she was like 14 so and this is time this time jump means that no i'm fully ready to believe she had to eat that giraffe that that ellie is a capable vicious murderer so alongside her adopted dad the tone of this trailer is like ellie's dark i'm yeah no joel is like hey you whoa whoa whoa whoa kiddo and she's like nah i'm gonna get him i'm gonna get him i'm gonna get him all it's like she's like going hard on the edge a little bit little edge lord teenage rebellion there maybe but yeah she's confirmed as the main character she will play different from joel probably a little less intense
Starting point is 02:15:09 on the active punchy kiki vicious murder like she played very differently from joel in the base game and the base game god i talk like that now oh oh the first game it's named part two because it's a complimentary story to the first game and the two games tell a much larger story whatever that means and then the flood comes down from space and sets up part three that'd be nice at the flood it would be great if they used this to also maybe set up other characters new characters or other world you know what i mean i'm a fan of like just give yourself room this is a bit of a spoiler for uh last of us but the biggest problem with that story and in terms of setting up new characters is i think with the exception of one person every character you meet in that game dies
Starting point is 02:15:54 in all of them in all the dlc in all like everybody fucking dies and a lot of them are cool characters but they don't last there's nowhere for them to go because they're dead well ellie's got plot armor so right um so hopefully this game has characters that you don't viciously murder that can go on to be in their own spin-offs or whatever uh but you remember summer what would the guy the guy's name was little brother black eye you remember now if that had not gone down the way it did i would have loved to play a game with those guys yeah but it went down the way it did no so hopefully there's uh you know we and i'm still thinking like we never got the full deal on um ish we never got the full deal on that gotta give us give me an ish uh dlc you know like
Starting point is 02:16:46 give me give me or don't because that story can't possibly be as cool as the variant of it in your mind where you read all the things that happened yeah okay um exciting uncharted lost leg is what is this uh so uncharted for dlc with chloe which is the best character from two without nathan was a chair she's cool i got looks like it's taking place in iraq during fucking uh shock and awe it's a really weird place yeah put a game very specific i yeah i have nothing on it or when i bag dad specifically but uh so that series oh bag dad i thought you said bag end like those are two different places so so okay so a lot way hold on uncharted lost legacy is dlc yes not okay it's not a full deal that's why i was confused it's a dlc campaign
Starting point is 02:17:34 like left behind or what have you gotcha gotcha okay um vain uh looks super weird super weird it's that game where you build this weird tower in the desert it looks kind of like eco okay yeah i don't know anything about it other than no unclear about what they what the yeah cool art style but it's pretty cool premise it's pretty no almost nothing yes wind fucking jammers but wait but wait there's more look at the name underneath wind jammers on that title screen dot emu dot emu what does that mean dot emu are the people that fucking are they are they people they're the monsters that failed at porting snk games like metal slug over they're the ones that made the shitty shitty drop the rom in your uh zip file now and sell it to you on steam last blade game that is unplayably
Starting point is 02:18:30 slow on ps4 or on on pc you can go and and and the humble bundle oh just recently last last blade came out on pc like a few months ago the neo geohumble bundle is full of a bunch of dot emu neo geogames that are literally the roms dumped into a poor emulator but they play like shit and you can go listen to liam and i like fucking go off on them for a while in the metal slug okay why this is confusing is because early on the list we see uh garo which is made by code mystics yes who did like the ki classic ports and all that they're pretty solid yeah the garo ports good but like problem is that dot emu is but they're not all trash i have it on decent authority that twinkle star sprites for steam is actually a really good release so whatever it was early
Starting point is 02:19:17 it was it had trouble when's when jammer's coming up it was troubled and then within the first year and next summer within the first week they patched it up and fixed it up so they announced this early i'm really like much to dave lang chagrin it seems like it exists which now here's the funny part that dave lang shout out was the most bizarre thing i've seen in a long fucking time in this business because it's become pretty well known that the moment like if you know about wind jammers and you've been yeah no and but and if you if you know about it as a result of the bomb cast yeah no you know about lang's hand but but like imagine you don't know about wind jammers yeah and you don't know who dave lang is sure you're like who would have and then you look it up it's like
Starting point is 02:19:56 ceo of iron gallant what the fuck but if you don't know about marvel and you don't know who that crazy black guy in the crowd going yeah i saw that shit was like yipes you're an old man now fucking calm down let's not yikes but you will never know i'm talking about yipes you see the club of yipes oh no yipes doing like all sorts of crazy shit but you will never be as hype as that guy jamming in his pants but i'll tell you what um a lot of people that uh not a lot of people that's not true no a couple of people know wind jammers from just knowing it from the ogeo playing it in an arcade somewhere know that that game is really sick Matthew knows it now the fun and sad part of this is assuming this is a good port i hope dot emu does it right uh all of the wind jammers clones
Starting point is 02:20:43 in development are now irrelevant irrelevant of cut yeah if this is a good port and if the online is good now if i was making one of those wind jammer uh uh homages i would be doing my best to try to sabotage this project as much as i can to give my project the best chance maybe maybe because they tired of those shitty wind jam reports then try power disc don't play that crappy clone of guitar hero rock band play the original game that made me so upset that happened believable the audacity like the podcast did not exist at that time also yeah yeah at that time in history bobby caudic but one gets interviewed for uh guitar hero and literally is telling people that that inferior product rock band it's a clone of guitar hero don't go play that and it's like you guys literally
Starting point is 02:21:42 are shitting on the people that made guitar hero and then left yeah fucking but he's betting that people he's talking to don't know anything i can't even describe what the emotion i feel about that is because it's not anger and it's not discussed but it's something else yeah that feels bad inside indignation shame i don't know i don't know like it's angust it's angust angust that's a good word i like the sound of that word well that's a good one i like that in the novel congo by michael criton they use diamonds that are very instrumental in like telecommunications but by the time the movie came out it was going to appear really outdated so instead they used the diamonds that they would power a rad laser beam and in the motion picture congo
Starting point is 02:22:40 they use that laser beam to uh saw those albino monkeys in half what hey are we back that's the best after a long technical difficulties break one of us is gone woolly's not paying attention and i'm talking about fucking congo one would like to continue the illusion that the entire time you were discussing congo for the playstation it's a first person shooter and it has a lot of fmv segments with caballo the black uh tour guide who's got who's stuck in the forest you know sometimes uh i believe this started well how did this what was it oh we're talking about how we're all liam's like oh yeah
Starting point is 02:23:36 titanfall's gonna do well and we all agree that it's not it's gonna yeah he's like black friday kids and christmas kids are gonna get titanfall and the numbers will go up and like no they're not they're gonna call duty and pat was like well it's like a uh uh business man mentality is like well if they're coming in to buy smash brothers and they see no more heroes they'll definitely get no more heroes and that doesn't work that's not a real thing that fucking happens in the game business and the other metric is that you can use is that you tell your mom i want halo and she gets you cabello sometimes you expect final fantasy seven but you get congo and then moley goes wait what is what and then i go with what you go call yeah congo for the ps1 it's a first person
Starting point is 02:24:18 shooter and i go about the anthony hawkins movie with cuba gutting jr i'm like no that's something different and then you start congo is the one where they use the laser beam to saw the monkeys i i must have said this once or twice around woolly and lian but not you because i haven't seen you react to definitely not me there's no way there's no fucking way they're like albino monkeys oh yeah old and crusty and they have shit all over themselves oh man yeah congo fantasy seven i would rather have congo yeah you got cool i can play final fantasy seven at any old time you only play congo on the saturn the playstation you just said it was a playstation how long is congo how long is the game how long to beat congo how long to beat congo seven hours well that's the
Starting point is 02:25:07 exact amount of time it takes to beat ff seven so that's bang for your buck right there that is the world record holder is a adjunab 174 he beat it in how fast did he beat congo hours and three seven okay now seriously what is the sequence break on that i don't there has to be there's no way he just puts in disc four there quickly are you swapping no but there there's more than seven hours of unskippable text i can't i don't there has to be a maybe use the laser let's check and saw it suffer off and have and and see what he did and see probably probably multiple sequence i would like to see him figure it out for 15 that'd be great saw suffer off in half saw suffer off in half see no what you're supposed to do is correct me and say no i meant the secrets break for congo
Starting point is 02:25:54 that's that's yeah that's what we need to and can we get back into into congo yeah con so wind jammers takes place in the congo and you guys you're throwing a frisbee disc around to see who's best qualified to solve like he's an apple with your frisbee that has blades on it that's what you're trying to do this is what you're trying the winner of the of the wind jammers tournament is it going to be the one that gets to use the the monkey laser oh my god what happened um anyway wind jammers you want huh you want to fall down dot emu is is like the people at home you know what this sounds like this sounds like we took a fucking break pretended twitch went down and all got fucking high wasted we're talking about that's like that time i got high and then
Starting point is 02:26:44 watched all the dark man movies and no one stopped me don't you got high and watch the dark man movies no we put we got high that we watched a dark man movie but but everyone was too high to stop it so you just let them roll yeah game for the psx roundup stayed for congo it's like that time i got low and started grinding in 14 hey wipe out omega collection awesome liam had a perfectly timed comment on twitter as sean laden came out which is why are you wearing a wipeout shirt sean yeah a lot of people wear shirts that have nothing to do with stuff so thankfully glad that that's not a dead franchise well no but what it well it is still they it's still very dead but i need to show you what the examples of a dead franchise are sure sure when you close all
Starting point is 02:27:37 the studios that were making wipeout for you for no what's it what's important to note is that if sean laden walks out and there's something on his chest that thing is happening is it a hundred percent that's three for three crash vib ribbon and wipeout that's a hundred percent what if he's going what if he walks out and he's back to businessman suit man time to die yeah because he's been he's been like traveling through time through time into the jay allard verse he's but he hasn't brought out the fresh kicks yet yeah but maybe he's like fucking tennis sneakers or whatever it's a thing yeah i think he heard us yelling at businessman i i don't think we were the only people yelling we're turning into one of those red carpet things or critiquing what people
Starting point is 02:28:23 are wearing yeah straight up straight up exactly wipeout mega collection has wiped out 2048 and that game is awesome but now it's not shackled to the vita thank god or the psp so that's good hey you want to you want to talk about shit that is shocking news and shackled to shit yeah yakuza six i was hopeful for because yakuza zero is gonna come out yakuza five came out and six would make sense and six is coming out so that was a great announcement too yeah but yakuza kawami trailers great trailers is i can't believe that game is coming out here and it took a while to me that says that they're really gonna try because that's the beginning of the story yeah so anyone who was waiting around to start yeah just start here i guess and the story of one is fucking great
Starting point is 02:29:17 and you get that anime you get that moment where kiri you just fucking slaps the shit out of herica and she's like i want a puppy the problem is that they can't just put these out they gotta make money off them so they better like well they're being spaced out a year each well i just hope that there's like a little bit more advertising than like zero yeah which i i don't even remember when zero comes out it'll get a little like five must have sold okay yeah must have sold okay so now there are multiple ways to start the yakuza franchise and they're they're all getting increasingly confusing i'm already lost and woolly at one point it was my job to sit and report on that woolly this is a good place to start this game will come out next year
Starting point is 02:29:59 and it's the first one and if you decide you like it i watched there's a path for you i watched the the movies included with three that's tough because those plots are complex and japanese and three sucks does it not three is fine yeah which one sucks three uh so also at psx they talked about yonder and that is don't know this not too sure but it might be a pretty thing um hey that's cool yeah uh ease origin origin it's a it's a yeast game it's brought to us by dot emu which woolly said before is a great developer flip the coin very great flip the coin see what happens oh no my face is melting uh i know what games you're playing i mean east is a franchise that like if i'd be interested except for that one guy i really oh that one guy is it the is tree man
Starting point is 02:30:52 that one guy that you won't he won't let you is a tree man um yeah i was like a second yeah wood man took a take a second yeah wood man ruined it for you would not let up on insisting that i i hope they come out with a me unasked four copies i i really hope they one day come out with a yeast game that's called infection yeah yeah because i always think that's what it sounds like yep every time until people start pronouncing it right which is wise i'm gonna i'm gonna fight you i know i don't even care about that series i know but but i'll fight you says how it's pronounced it says ease says wise yes oh you don't oh that new contender has entered the ring which is the more bastard version yes seriously worse yeah oh yes is worse yeah yes is worse yes origin that's terrible
Starting point is 02:31:45 that's just objectively wrong it's not even an opinion thing yeah there's no why in that there's no we eat that there's no eating that welcome to uh the world of japan where dash is an apostrophe yeah but nine nine nine nine is four nine yeah eggzard egzard egzard let's keep going well what do we got what do we got this is a big podcast man so that's that's that's psx okay i don't we have nothing like we have nothing to report on nidhogg two yet until liam gets back and we have nothing to report on ominous sorrow ominous sorrow or uh uh congo no yes but uh i know no i want to say fantasy strikes so yeah right right we'll find out what's happening there uh there's some other odd shit afoot and let's get out of that's psx it was a crazy psx you
Starting point is 02:32:38 be crazy good show was there anything at the advertisement awards sorry the game awards yeah are you happy crying yeah because i'm yawning a bunch okay yeah okay maybe i'll keep coming but i was also thinking about the game awards when you can see why i would cry okay first before we talk about any of those stupid games who cares about i'm gonna keep coming with the news let's talk yeah about chic razor man hydro man hydro man chic man that's my favorite stupid ad gimmick ever that is the best that is fully turned into the adpocalypse i want to give a proper f**k you to skull god for writing new titanfall titan announced and i ran over to see what he was talking about f**king chic razor man mecca that's f**king great i was i was that's f**king great
Starting point is 02:33:28 i was salt i was i got a little salt at that just a little bit all right welly how have you organized your uh game awards news uh well there's i mean there's only one thing i really want to bring there was i thought there were two but there's only one i actually care about there's only one thing i'm talking about right now and that is quite simply uh kojima's presence at the game awards it's nice that he got up to go and accept that award that was cool and you could see jeff kealy was like we really okay no like jeff kealy was being weird that was weird because last year he was forced to hand it to kiefer but that was like he was really bizarrely emotional over that it was f**king weird because you know it's his friend him and koji are friends that being said
Starting point is 02:34:12 i'm at the point now where when kojima is on a stage and he walks away my of the from the microphone i the my favorite time in video games is the instant that he stops his toe starts to turn his toe stops and he goes and he starts to walk back to the mic and he goes one more thing yeah that's a good one that's a good one that is my favorite moment got trailer number two for death stranding so the imagery is matt described this trailer to me a few days ago as content less and he is right and i don't care yeah it is like it is just a movie four times cooler than the first trailer in terms of image way way cooler the density of what you're seeing is just i can't handle i said i don't know what it is i said this to pat willy but well you follow you
Starting point is 02:35:09 must follow kojima on twitter if you see kojima post any dolls of any actors for months guess what he's in death stranding yeah like how he posted the little doll of f**king mad as as Hannibal and going look at this cool doll for months and he's uh he's hanging out with a with a famous actress right now apparently and just being like oh i love her movies so much right right and that's why i'm gonna talk about movies on hideo tube that's all that's all that's all he goes here's the blu-ray of this movie you know what who's probably in death stranding godzilla i'm gonna just assume he's in that now let's assume guess what there's gonna be two or four two to five action scenes directed by ano right baby and tarantino and all kinds of this this game has gone from what's today
Starting point is 02:35:58 kojima gonna do next to all the warriors all the warriors so we see del toro opening up on the on the beginning of the trailer walking around and if you cheers in the audience right that's del toro it's uncertain what is really hard project actually is who gets up right but if he's a character or a director or a producer and it's like what is easy just a buddy is he ought to con you don't know but what we do see is him walking around now if you play this trailer at the exact same time as the original norman redis trailer the timing of it has it so that the baby in norman's hands norman fetus teleports away from norman and appears inside of greece hearts tube yeah in sync yeah then we follow the camera down that's the awesome tunnel and you get these skull soldiers
Starting point is 02:36:49 where are skeletons they're not skull faces there are dead soldiers and you know if you have what is it if you have not been buried with a under a coffin or rather under a headstone that says rest in peace then you join the skeleton war by default and mads mickelson walks out and god damn it is he just he's such a face so mad mickelson is that fucking actor face face is so strong it's also weird that he has the same type of like weird eye stuff that he had in dr strange so it's just like whoa mad mickelson getting a lot of that villain work a lot of it he's better as well as he has to do is walk out blink hold his head up and then look at you yeah and you're like shitting your pants it's great it's great and then the baby does the say the baby doll thing
Starting point is 02:37:34 does the same thing as the baby in the tube and it's not clear if he can even see dealt it's a fucking and there's a tank i got guts i've never been more hyped for less okay so content well did you do the deep dive on this trailer uh only i stopped at the sync up of the two okay and i saw a bullshit deep dive of what if it's hooked up to metal gear okay look at the and i'm like you're saying woolly del Toro said fuck konami on twitter woolly and and like hideo is sipping his the konami's tears and saying he's got to move on and people are still trying to find ways to collect it i'm gonna give you the deep dive go ahead of details go ahead that was associated with this you and all of our our wonderful listeners okay so straight up that's del Toro
Starting point is 02:38:23 he's got a weird ass scar that looks like his face was degloved from his forehead sure that's fucking weird we've got the glowing handcuffs that that norman read us also have he has a pin on his lapel that says uh bridges free cities of america and then you see and has a web design from new york expanding outward that could be anything that's weird okay um the soldiers are all wearing world war two american paratrooper gear from 1942 to 44 the the bombers and fighter planes in the sky are all from 41 and so is the tank combine that with the architecture and side down rainbows and the specificness that is in france and that uh that is dead people from the normandy landing okay that is what that is okay okay okay now aside from like why there's a
Starting point is 02:39:22 tank with guts coming out of it it actually looks like it has a lot of inspiration for the warhammer 40 k a versions of infested tanks but more importantly on the tank it is not a tank that has guts thrown all over it those guts are coming from in the tank there are skeleton parts strapped to the tank and making up pieces of it something that looked like a small intestine falls off that it that tank is a for real bad thing and also every single actor plane item in the scene is stranded to something yes everything everything there's there there's very much a theme of like links yes yes yeah and with the with the only thing and this is me going for like thematic thing the only thing of note is that del Toros is not stranded to anything except for the baby and the
Starting point is 02:40:07 baby's alive and everything else that anyone is stranded to is dead i mean handcuffs could be any no no i mean he literally hooks himself up with the baby and strands himself the baby whereas michelson and everything else in the scene is dead so even the planes are stranded the fact that this is likely taking place in a dreamscape hellscape also michelson's gear is modern whereas his soldiers are not that it's just kind of like like there's probably no like even if we break down what these things mean this is probably purgatory none or or someone's head you know in which case it's like well the reason the reason why i don't think it somebody's head is because of all the all the little necklace things that redis had in the first trailer they were all very obscure mathematical
Starting point is 02:40:51 formula dealing with physical properties constants of the universe and alternate dimensions and shit so and five random figures in the distance yeah they're just chilling yeah so here's my big guess that i have to do because i have a problem what you why do you have to do it because i have to do it because it's fun what if you just said right now i'm not going to do it and then we just didn't do it but then i wouldn't get to say the fun thing but what it's okay do that i hope anyway do it do it do it uh i bet i bet that michelson's an antagonist shocker yeah he was glowing red and looking evil but actually no it's the baby that's going red not not him there's also glowing red things if you go back to that it is like the baby is pulsing red if you go back to the
Starting point is 02:41:28 old trailer there's glowing red things in that as well yeah but i bet that those five figures one of them is michelson and the other four are also going to be big hollywood actors now like that's safe to us as as your sculpt as your uh your beauty the beast team or what have you that's or or the death stranding logo will appear in a third trailer and then all the words will get reconfigured and i'll say police knots oh we know or it's none of those things and it's just a cool other idea that will have fun with when it comes out yay um yeah man we know almost they also confirmed his gorilla what's the space between the first trailer and this oh a year one year exactly one year because the last one's game awards too yeah all right this game's not
Starting point is 02:42:11 going to come out for a while no this pace this fucking pace this game's gonna come out like three years they also confirmed that they're using this special engine developed by a gorilla games make sense uh do sima something like that uh uh gorilla may have their flaws but their engine work is superb yeah especially for playstation 4 games so it's like since we can't use the fox engine the one that i developed because kanami owns it i guess you need to find another one real quick so that's what that makes his face looks real good hey what engine can render that dude's face give me that we got we got a couple yeah like i don't know what other cool guys are going to be joining that cast but like anyone that's kind of just like surface level not surface level but like anyone that oh
Starting point is 02:42:59 nicholas uh winding riffin or whatever the guy that makes driver a drive and neon demon all kujima posts his pictures of me hanging out yeah okay so either him or someone that has worked with him because i just want to see like yo idris elba and now he's here fast benders here yeah you know i like just fucking i don't know like um uh what's his name uh michael k williams congo right we got we got omar up in the house like i don't know where you go from here but it's it's it's exciting i really want in the next trailer normand reyes to take out the big laser you lost me and and saw the monkeys oh god all right so maybe not maybe maybe uh you know try listing other actors oh one of the maybe
Starting point is 02:43:55 tom cruise no wait he's busy okay so what's tom cruise busy doing when i heard that tom cruise is making a movie where he fights a mummy i'm like yes that's awesome that's everything that there should be please continue to erase brendan frazier please and you see this trailer and it's actually one of the neatest shows in a while where it's just like a long series of shots setting up a thing and setting up a big action scene then there's a bunch of quick things oh did you watch it not knowing the title no no i heard about how he's making this movie for a while now okay just tom cruise fighting supernatural beings yes more all the time please but why this franchise and like how is this not somehow beneath him i don't know i don't know i don't know i love the mummy and i
Starting point is 02:44:42 fucking always feel it's the perfect dumb adventure it's like a woman it's like a woman mummy it's it's a noxua moon yeah so it's the perfect dumb adventure and it feels like jack richer would be above this type of thing no jack richel fight a mummy any day of the week listen well i don't know if you know this but this tom cruise fellow he is a box office phenomenon so but he also only pretty much does movies that he's funding at this point he's like brad pit where he's got a piece of that pie you know whatever man he wants to do he wants to find a mummy sure he thinks it'll be fun also i think in this trailer like that you know there's a scene in a morgue and i'm like well what's gonna happen and tom cruise is like i'm just standing just wake up so that's cool like
Starting point is 02:45:32 this looks way cooler has any right to be i wonder how many other mangaka like shopped their script for their mangas over to him to see if like he wanted to do another day after tomorrow they're making a death note a hollywood death note movie that's true yeah so ellis ellis black guy yeah woolly when we were looking at escape games the girlfriend and i saw that one of the escape games around here has a fucking death note escape game yeah there's a resident evil in a single one yes you have to break into jail to stop l literally did like a yes official yes okay i'm like how are they getting away with that i somehow missed that uh it's fucking weird i'm gonna look into that other things going on is death note stupid yeah but it's great okay it's great stupid i don't know
Starting point is 02:46:28 it's the best and it's the worst i also think it's getting a little and it's incredulous that you haven't seen it oh yeah this is from a few weeks ago but i thought woollywood would i'm excited to hear that why the last man is officially happening i'm that's a great comic book to be adapted into a show i like it works super but it like what what's your problem faithfulness oh a show yeah a movie i can understand a show a show a show is literally the most faithful it can be it no no i just mean that like the best shot it's a great property to adapt if they're faithful if they're not well that's what i mean by because they could just take the idea like all guys are dead except for one and then just do anything else with it like and i'd be like ah
Starting point is 02:47:19 you know like yannick yannick yeah like what's his name like preacher no no what's the main character's name yorick yorick so what you're saying is you wouldn't like yorick to reach in his backpack and then all the monkeys come running at him and he takes out the laser like you don't okay woolly we made a mistake you did made a mistake you fucking made a mistake okay this is a mistake we need to go back in time i can stop ourselves from laughing at this fucking congo joke there will be one monkey that should run at him oh there is it's true and that's ampersand that's ampersand i forgot i'm fine with ampersand but don't cut him in half the other part of the story is that uh the the crew that are running they're gonna be running the show on fx is the
Starting point is 02:47:58 one that's making neil gayman's american gods which has yet to air as well has yet to air but there's trailers and shit that thing looks awesome as well so that is what if gods are real people just walking around which is always a great concept just a stranger on the hey zoost you're a fucking dick yeah i know i never promised anything uh yeah so that's happening and i i don't know i mean uh i guess like yeah wait for american gods let let let that hit and then judge or make some opinions i assume so early otherwise but i decide whether or not to shit your pants i would like the last minute show and at the very least this will set up um brian cave on for like how to feel about his stuff getting adapted you know like yeah this saga this will inform saga now i don't want saga to be
Starting point is 02:48:48 and in anything it's too big it's too big it's shit or shopped around excuse me um shit it around shit it around shopped around uh let's quickly talk about uh stuff our good old buddy oatmeal face oh uh yeah yeah is he in jail uh surprisingly not wow so pat uh just to uh uh preface this itagaki feels that it's not his fault that devil's third was poorly reviewed it was nintendo's fault i'm sure there's plenty of blame to go around mr oatmeal having played devil's third i don't really think that's the case so what was the what was the uh the corrects of this interview here the corrects of the interview is that he said uh the multiplayer is the thing and nintendo didn't have any uh media days for which uh journalists can come and play
Starting point is 02:49:41 the game uh online with like you know dedicated whatever yeah online uh and then uh destructoid said well there there was we were there so that's the interview i and he's like oh but so uh to quote i generally don't like to badmouth people and i have nothing but appreciation what that's bullshit that's fucking bullshit take it just say that it's the fucking king of bad mouthing uh i generally don't like to badmouth people sips on tequila and spits it on sword you guys like samurai swords but i have nothing but appreciation towards nintendo for releasing devil's third however i don't believe that they gave this game their best effort in promoting and selling the game at the same time i also understand their position i don't have any resentment towards
Starting point is 02:50:31 the sales team it's natural for them to have made the decisions they made but i do realize there's a shortage and i address this to nintendo many times what do you guys feel about if you're like a sony or if you're a nintendo if you're a microsoft and you grab a project yeah you just save it and then turns out the project's terrible yeah i think it's fine to under advertise a bad product i think it's your responsibility to fulfill the terms of your obligations is set forth by whatever contract if that was not done but and it's also like kind of morally implied that the game will at least come out yes but everything beyond that kind of depends on whether or not you think it'll make money because you're running a business yeah in his defense uh and i
Starting point is 02:51:15 know but in his defense the uh marketing for wonderful one on one we've regularly said it's been pretty bad and that hurt i wasn't really aware of any it's true we did and that was better than it was for this well that's because wonderful one on one's a good game but but but my point is that that had better marketing than this did and we consider that here's here's the thing willy when this is a this is not a game development problem this is like a believability problem right it's it's that's a decent point right that it got he's making right is that the game was under shift etc etc but he's also hitching that complaint to an outright fabrication that he doesn't like making fun of people no not just that but there was no day that the game had to have the multiplayer
Starting point is 02:52:07 right right and and when that when you do that i don't care how good your other point is because you don't care how good your point is you just want to be right and you want other people to be wrong there's also there's also that one other bit where it got he talked about this when the game was getting previewed where he's like you guys don't know how to play it you're all playing it wrong and that's why you're giving it lower i remember when that came out and he brings it up in this new interview again that and i remember leon was saying too that like based on what he there's nothing to understand about that game there was he i remember Liam saying that there was definitely more to it than those no there wasn't that's a lie demos showed off no no no
Starting point is 02:52:50 he did an LP yeah and Liam's not here no i'm just i'm just repeating what i remember therefore Matt what i mean what i mean is that like everything that's how that works can't fight back everything in the tutorial of that game taught you everything in that game there was nothing if i'm asleep and you draw a dick on my face because i wasn't there i guess i have a dick on my face that's your loss but anyway we talked too much about devil's third we sure do okay well that's fine i wonder who you'll get to blame next time it agaki what whose fault is it life the world what did you say it was for the doa five extreme whose fault was it woolly who's fault was that dlc it was the world that's what he said yeah it's the world okay
Starting point is 02:53:37 it's someone yeah i remember that was a while ago it was a while ago but that's as angry as i've seen you uh so there's something cool going on in river city ransom and that's an uh river city ransom underground has some cool new characters so just to clear the air river city ransom underground is a fan-made project that's canon that arc system works gave its blessing so it's an official added into the river city ransom it's not has nothing to do with the new one that just came out tokyo rumble which i have character looks fucking but it's the fucking coolest like it's a thousand times cooler than than actual river city ramsa woody girl with uh break dancing flipping around doing crazy shit yeah looking way fucking cooler than uh a kunio ever did you take that back
Starting point is 02:54:27 kunio hits people and they say barf i don't these do too no like break dancer cool girl looks awesome in river city underground and that's exciting that's awesome i like that i i i really i see like it's actually yeah got the the well these fucking last guardian reviews run the gamut got my attention do you want do we want to touch on that do we have time so there's problems with last guardian with the non ps the non ps pro version of the game i i'm oh yeah does it run well is what i'm well the game doesn't run well okay period right and it's one of the digital foundry thing i did it's it's the ps4 pro at 1080p is solid for whatever reason is solid is solid but the 4k version is not and the regular ps4 is certainly not and then i remember what i talked about this i
Starting point is 02:55:16 think was what the amour with woody like long long conversation about last guardian what could possibly holding them up and some comments by wayda implied that's like the game is too ambitious they can't get it to fucking run like it will not go on a ps3 period and then they're struggling to make it go on a ps4 and now just happens to come out alongside the pro yeah right like so it almost feels like we're gonna bring out an enhanced console in two years just work on that so what kinds of issues are popping up it's it's mostly the frame rate on the it's like it it is never a consistent 30 on on regular ps4 or the game of below 20 ouch and uh it's there's one guy who put up a youtube video saying that uh the game got locked into sub 10 and he had to turn his console off
Starting point is 02:56:11 but that could be isolated and only responded to because digital foundry does not make a comment about that i mean they would if they came across it they sure would um but you know this this smacks of this game was just released too early they should have probably worked on it yeah that's what jim saying rushed out to market yeah jim over at the inquisition it's sorry jim position is like why does this game feel rushed why how it really is the most unrushed game ever you had infinite time i so this is one of those situations where like i'm still super excited so reviews are are weird oh but yeah reviews are bizarre because it's mostly 9s and 10s with a disproportionately huge for most games amount of like six and four bombs right like to the point where it's like
Starting point is 02:56:59 some people had a legitimately awful time with this and i hope that doesn't happen to me kind of thing i'm really wondering how much of it is like rather how much of the time that was spent uh in in development was just straight up the pains of moving it from i i bet that this oh i don't think gdd encounters and etc were fucking done six years ago well well you're you're busy with me and power talking about a bit but like jim's sort of thing is that it doesn't work a lot of the time the creature doesn't do what it's supposed to do it just sometimes does what it what i wanted to do when i do a command i'm like hey uh trico go hit that shit with lightning and it just doesn't and if it does it takes minutes for the game to know what it what
Starting point is 02:57:47 i want to do and he's like that's my experience i've played through the game i've been it like that's what it it's it's its name actually trico yeah uh it's not torico whatever okay torico yeah because that was the pun well yeah but to rick trick trick ico yeah but those are different names i go through and it look i it seems to me like the warps i'm it seems to me like the type of thing that like depending on your way through so this is more than i've ever the fuck are we doing with this game we're gonna do a one-off we're gonna do one off one off is probably what we should do uh i don't want to fucking lp it no no no but i really don't think we should sit down and take a nice big long bayonetta look yeah yeah yeah um it's what it deserves so uh yeah
Starting point is 02:58:33 there's that and i guess just to wrap this up uh mescal island looks cool i mean we can talk about that a little bit i suppose but yeah sam jackson's and what are you gonna say um no i just want to have anything to say about that zelda trailer no not really not that much to say i want i did want to bring this up though because it's it's kind of trailer makes it look like zelda's gonna be playable it kind of does sort of insane how ridiculously uh fast this came together but the follow-ups kickstarter to kingdom death monster has no idea this amazing board game uh is it hit it hit kickstarter and within i believe it was like something like 180 seconds it hit its goal of a hundred k why do board games so this one this one is special because people care right
Starting point is 02:59:19 and this one then it then went on to go to like five million in like day one so it blew through every context because i didn't know and will they explain to me kingdom death is the board game that inspired the dark souls board game yeah i know that's what i was going to get to is that like here's where the relevant point is the whole ai deck system where your our players are fighting against a monster that is controlled by a deck of uh a deck of card and dice rolls right is is coming from this okay now kingdom death like after like hearing about this and like seeing how it shattered kickstarter records and whatnot i was like i need to find out what's going on with this and i watched some playthroughs of it and i checked some stuff out like how do you how do you budget for six million
Starting point is 02:59:59 when your goal is a hundred oh it's really a lot of this it's really easy because the the the goal is to support like a production run and after that all money is just like how many do you want okay a lot of this game is just exactly getting copies in people's hands right which you couldn't fucking do that's why board game kick starters are successful because by the time they get to kickstarter they're completely done and everything is finished they just need to produce the money is literally people i want to buy this thing that exists it's like exploding kittens it blew up really big right yeah it was finished and all it needed was a production line and they got it there were like they're like i saw like core boxes for kingdom death monster going for like 800 bucks
Starting point is 03:00:43 on on ebay like you couldn't it didn't exist once the kickstarter was done and everyone was talking about how fun and amazing this game was in particular with it that's of interest here is it comes with little figures miniatures puters right and the miniatures are really beautiful beautiful they're really well detailed and like beautiful huh and you actually piece them together like uh like head to head to body to legs like everything you can kind of customize okay based on the way you want your character to to like sort of look sometimes if they have a sword you can give them a sword or whatever uh and paint if you want and then uh what i saw was um mothman was showing me some special pieces that they released so they straight up are huge
Starting point is 03:01:26 fans of like uh games and anime and so on and so forth and um one of the pieces for a character they have out there is straight up just kamina like it is it like you look at the character and it's like you can like there's very it's it's not it's not okay it's unambiguous it is a kamino figure that they're fucking putting into this game um i guess they thought they had to i mean again and there's tons of expansions for this so you get stuff ranging from that monster's cool right oh a really cool looking kamina type character uh to other miniatures for other characters that you might be fans of maybe perhaps i don't know one guts the black i was about to say right uh or at least again sort of inspired by you get um god this it's it's i really want to give my hands on
Starting point is 03:02:22 this i believe you yeah uh i really and there's like a link inspired character the messenger of humanity is this guts his clock so like i sounds important like i just need to get my hands on this somehow i want to fucking i don't know what i'm gonna do but uh looks really cool and open if you're down with board games then you too perhaps might want to consider checking out kingdom death monster 1.5 uh what is this news sega's altered beast yeah some great games to be adapted for film tv i'm by the production company circle of confusion yeah let's let's i was thinking about bringing that up but i'm like those are never gonna i want to i want to bring it up in order to say fucking no that doesn't exist don't do that i would love to see an altered beast hentai that's
Starting point is 03:03:09 the same company that made powers oh fuck the show yeah that doesn't exist yeah okay oh until it exists an animated thing maybe better let's take some mail oh we got email real people send email to superbestfriendcast to gmail.com that's where they sent those emails to send the best friendcast gmail.com that's where they send them matt just put a godzilla toy real close to scare you all mugging it up mugging it up mugging it up i can got matt that godzilla toy looks just like your other godzilla toys sure it does evan wants to know dare super crunk hip hop cast does matt like hip hop his music or does he like the idea and feel of him oh man oh that's a good question i like both can i answer this question a little bit but there's a cutoff point for you at some point isn't
Starting point is 03:04:00 there maybe a cutoff point well you're not you're not currently following oh no absolutely not can i i'd say like 2005 it was kind of like i don't know about this anymore i don't particularly care for hip hop but i love hip hop yeah it's it is blood as in you like calling being hip hop you like calling things hip hop i like that things are hip hop more than i like hip hop you know what that's hip hop that's hip hop that's real hip hop that's hip man why'd you glue your arms to your sides that's real hip hop man how are you gonna hug your kids that's a real hip hop why did you take a gigantic blank white shirt and spray paint derilist on the back because that's hip hop because that's hip but you know what if you don't spray paint anything on it you just wear a white shirt
Starting point is 03:04:51 guess what that's also hip hop that's also hip hop it can never not be hip hop i know i had a bunch of albums back in the day raging from a rate ranging from the l.o. cool j to uh to dray to whatever whatever's popular at the time so yeah hip hop's much more important than hip hop yeah technical problems on the podcast that's hip hop you know it the real is there's some big emails that's that could be hip hop it might be most of the time it's not yeah unclear sign monkeys in half that's real hip hop that is the truest hip hop yo dray method what's that oh man this is the fucking laser to cut some monkeys in half say what i know i think you're crazy
Starting point is 03:05:37 all right really keres one will come out with a new song that's he talks about the five elements of hip hop and they're like keres what are you craving there's not the beat it tagging tagging graphing the b-boying the mc and the song monkey in half laser destruction of monkeys it's my new album original elements grandmaster that grandmaster flash built if you come if you come down to the concert you can get freshly seared monkey flesh don't push me because i'm close to the edge i'm trying to solve this monkey in half yeah like the first turntables ever made were just stretched out monkey skin in fact this opens up like a new animals were used to solve the first monkey this this makes me want like an indie hip hop band that has a fucking the their logo is a as a chimpanzee
Starting point is 03:06:36 skull and half of it's got a face the other half just read lasers yeah and they're called and they're called the fucking primate annihilators i see where i see where you're going i see where you're going like the g unit has a big problem because they're the girl oh no they got beats for everyone damn son ripping piece of rambe we didn't mean to saw you in half with that and red red man did that one like gorillas cover a crossover track and that's not good because that you're showing that straighter colors yeah that's straighter and w a versus gorillas with laser beams i mean finally we will know you know lupin has an album called lasers like we can make it work oh yeah he didn't talk about where those lasers were aimed i bet i bet someone could make a
Starting point is 03:07:23 fucking great track mixing that lasers uh shit with a fucking gorilla song it'll get really mixed up pad if like there's some other group that comes out of nowhere like i don't know bone thugs and harmony or something and they come out and they have anthony hopkins and cuba goodie jr in the back in the video and they're like the primal instinct we fucked up yeah fuck her wrong this that bitch is the fucking wrong movie we got anthony hopkins we got mighty joe young get the fuck out of here okay harambee all right he got shot with all those laser bullets bruce willis get out of here we don't need 13 more yeah get out yeah too many time traveling stupid fuck yeah now we're now we're our minds are blazing to find bruce willis starring in two time travel
Starting point is 03:08:13 movies that have stupid fucking plot holes why yeah we're talking about 13 monkeys on this podcast i'm trying i'm trying to i'm trying to get to the the zero you know why i guess 13 monkeys that's real hip hop that is hip hop i'm trying to get to the zero and then like aimed at the jungle book there's all this there's all this gas and smoke and out there's all these lights and outsteps like the monkey from the mvp movies oh yeah and he's got the fucking bones of fucking air butt around his neck yeah yeah that's him all his puppies real hip hop all right i think we've candy everyone in those movies is dead yeah they're ultra despair friends i went to see don't breathe in belgium because you recommended it and i was shocked because when i saw it i saw
Starting point is 03:09:03 it's french title it ruined the movie for me when i saw it's called don't breathe the house of darkness and it sounds really corny yeah have you ever seen a movie where the title is different from the original and it ends up kind of ruining the experience okay okay from alan number one with a bullet with a bullet is the french title for the move the jet lee movie unchained do you remember what it is do you remember what it is dany the dog no the french title of it because that was it was read in custom countries it was just called dany okay well here in french yeah the french title for unchained with jet lee was all cheney which is actually the opposite it's the fucking 100 percent opposite he's rechained yeah but that implies that he gets rechained at the end of the
Starting point is 03:09:50 movie it's fucking stupid that's that's kind of i hate that uh well not a movie well not a movie we're talking about the other day but like um the french instruction booklet for the fatal fury real bout collection in in english it's called the game is called real about uh fatal fury real bout two the newcomers and on the rick stroud and on the title screen it says the newcomers yeah it does but in the the french instruction manual it's called fatal fury real bout two the the newbies no no no the novices the novices the novices implying that they're weak babies yeah that's not that like can't be to nobody that's no good it's bad why would you do it that's real stupid you guys that's real fucking dumb uh and lastly we'll take one coming in from james hey james uh
Starting point is 03:10:41 dare fuper sest uh brent sast uh long time anybody anybody got a fucking clue uh he took the letters and he put them in other places oh okay got it thank you anagrams got it uh long time viewer of the show listener of the podcast thanks man thank you and i you always mentioned old jokes like lame it out like cross-tech in yeah that's true sacrifice your friend more time on the clock that's old shit scot me thinking i don't play fighting games competitively but i do play chess specifically blitz chess where players are very limited amount of time to play uh the whole game that sounds awesome uh yeah i love like if you watch um uh searching for bobby fisher and they're like slamming the clock because that that is great that is a fighting game that that absolutely is
Starting point is 03:11:21 when playing against an opponent that is more skilled than me uh and is and they're gaining an advantage i begin to play very fast and use defensive moves with the hope that the opponent will run out of time and lose you try and mix them up this has worked on a number of times when i was against a better player so my question is is using tactics such as blaming it out and winning on time justified in competitive play or is it for big cowards and baby men that just need to get good well there's three words what are they it's the three word answer to this question play to win that's right i mean quite simply uh but i've evolved on that actually play to win uh play to win but no i don't think you need to shoot your testicles full of drugs in order to run faster
Starting point is 03:12:00 you need to do that but here but here's what i've learned play to win here's what i've learned guess what what play to win when it comes to friday night fisticuffs means that's a bad episode okay no no no no that's different and that's different really so that you know that actively has been stopped that's different that's fucking different because that's entertainment yes we're talking about winning for winning and you but but like who what's the audience are you play remember when we discussed like the guy going to the smash meetups at his college like our is the room there's the room playing for fun or are they playing to you you need to you need to you need to set up your goal and is your goal and what is the what is the room trying to do is your
Starting point is 03:12:35 goal trying to win or is your goal trying to relax basically and are your friends trying to win or are your friends now now occasionally occasionally you will have to teach your friend that they are shit and crush their spirit that will happen no one goes into a match saying i'm going to win by time out no you play actually no that's that's not true well those ln matches clearly that was the goal or go back to vanilla e honda because i always feel that like after a certain amount of time they'll check the clock check the health bars and say like yeah this is a rushing in and then they start playing irresponsibly because they're rushing in yeah but like also go watch if you watch jay won playing in pools like he doesn't fucking care he will waste all the time if you're
Starting point is 03:13:19 not coming in and yeah lame lame pokey zoning characters like excel at just making other people make mistakes is there a noise so so the way i kind of see it is this like when you go to a tournament for a game and you're playing against those people like anyone set fire to their hotel we'll get well okay blame tactics and like really straight up just like maximizing your chances of winning uh basic gameplay is how anyone in top 32 got there yeah right when you're playing against people like basically the people that get out of their pool slash get past the first i don't know four or five matches and are and are still in winners and they at least get through one killer they're not playing they're almost autopiloting because they're at that point what you're doing
Starting point is 03:13:59 with the fight with the fighting game is you're not even trying to play uh against the player you're just looking at the match up and going here are some basic tactics that are like i'm going to run this vortex i'm going to do it's going to work this is not exactly all right i'm going to use option selects whereas and or and that's going to maximize my chances whereas if you're not doing that that means like instead of covering two of your options you're only guessing one yeah and if you and it's one out of four now you can still win but you have a 25 chance right you know you're playing the odds and people and so the people that make her angle knows he can't beat you uh you know when you want to play the odds uh did you mean to say yeah i i said
Starting point is 03:14:34 what i meant okay i met steiner i did he what he did okay so all right all right well anyway now you only have a 33 and a third chance thank you so the point is that he's not even going to try chance of winning drastic go down so the point is that when the person you're fighting against is doing these like base covering tactics where you don't have to think and you win automatically in a lot of scenarios like option selects you're dumb for not doing it because you're not going to win there's something that he said that i feel it's really important because he's wrong and he's wrong to his own detriment he says i came up against better players so i would rush the clock and fuck it up right and play defensively in order to secure wins right yeah the fact that
Starting point is 03:15:18 that worked means they are not a better player than you they have skills in certain areas that you do not but you won that match you're the better player because you have thought them perhaps you better beat them but it's and chess is quantifiable by like how many plays have you memorized yeah you can actively use but if you get too far up your own ass and this guy beats you with his cheap bullshit but then you suck that's blitz chess yeah right if in a game with crush them an unlimited chess where you just kind of uh you know play for with no limit here's unlimited chess i put you in check then i stab you okay well then you quit that's hip-hop that's hip-hop i win is that what happened to bobby fisher i don't know where is he i don't know i don't know bobby fisher
Starting point is 03:16:02 where is he he went underground and he started hip-hop yeah can we get a can we get a combination of over-the-top style arm wrestling with speed chess yeah isn't that just chess too didn't serlin already do this uh i think he did i think yeah he did something like that all right so we got to wrap up this fucking fuck cast so what the fucking fuck cast what's up and what's out what's up and what's out what's the fucking fire what's up and what's out on the fuck cast yeah you heard do you want someone to say their penis monkeys you heard me yeah all right yeah well uh monkeys continue to be non-lasered Liam and i took a look at uh icy yeah so that's like a one off that's i was so confused i look in our schedule and i go the fuck is this due to uh due to omicron's
Starting point is 03:16:51 refusal to die titanfall 2 is coming but i i see is china's most earnest attempt at a legit 2d character action style game thank you china okay okay it's a meta it's a title is just meta nothing to me secretly it's secretly it's on the description for the game it's secretly meta uh silent hill will continue matt and i are getting very close they'll probably wrap it up uh next week yeah it says uh omicron i don't fucking know we don't know fucking no i like i like the new uh the new how long to beat image yeah part two of that whatever i say pat's wrong couple of the time couple of hours just a little more just a little more don't worry about it i would love to hack uh like uh how long to beat it just put a little more i feel like when i when i talk to people who
Starting point is 03:17:45 watch that lp i'm starting to feel like a crazy person because i'll see a dumb meme image or whatever directed at my twitter and i'll go oh man does this mean that the episode where we can't stand on the platform went out that's exactly what it means right and like every time i say that it's always something dumber than the last time that one brought a lot of joy to people's hearts because it's quite it's like there's no doubt about it there's so much there's so much video evidence that it's the game it's pure game it's not our stupidity it's not a guy fucking us up it is raw the game says no also also willy it's telling me you don't even have to go up there and me just weekly saying what are you saying to me yeah so that was a good episode what are you
Starting point is 03:18:32 doing to me yeah all right why why are you like this to me mega man you won't get your titan fall until all micron is finished basically can't have your pudding if you don't eat your meat silent hill might finish before fucking on it absolutely will yeah there's no chance that it won't no chance um i think you guys are still doing mega man yeah that's going yeah yeah going strong how's reboot did you beat that yeah oh did you beat that here did you not put that episode up it's not up yet okay uh saving it for that day that you still want to get out of bed basically also just complaining to people that when will he might get salty he might get a little angry at a game or when pat does or when i do yeah it's very different than how leon racks true it's not true it's not done
Starting point is 03:19:16 via screaming and like huffy noises it's more like done like silences and saying you play like he gave it to the episodes coming up well to be fair i always started it i said i can i think i can no doesn't matter doesn't matter that doesn't matter at all it matters if that person i think i can handle it fine okay yeah because i because i do that to matt all quite often it's like hey man i'll do it i'll do it i'll do it and i'll you usually go give me another shot very rarely and then i'll then i'll go like yeah but uh in the next episodes of uh sonic unleashed about 15 minutes is spent on the first 10 seconds of a single level thresholds are being reached oh yeah oh yeah i think we have to go a little deeper thresholds for tolerance how does one go deeper on the
Starting point is 03:20:02 no no we have to go deeper into leon suffering yeah we're getting there with the workshop dude we've been harder yeah we've been playing some fucking hard garbage yeah like so and all like stiff stiff trash like trash is those crinkly pieces of paper it's like people like spectral versus jerry what the fuck it right and woolly i i've you fucking cunt you you look at me and i go what the fuck is this anime game you go we've been playing too many good games recently and you just said that we need to play more the week before when you're loading in tec in three you're like yeah we played a lot of shit games recently listen we got two weeks of good games factual is solid it's fine it's fine you're right but solid middle of the road but like silent hill
Starting point is 03:20:50 isn't even enough to fucking it's actually to deal with the fact that because it's all over like there's this you say this in a world where brief karate foolish exists like yeah just a real bout hold your drawers yeah no but i'm not talking about fist because that's just a nice microcosm i'm talking about like yeah you you guys are fucking you guys are worse off than me going right in a sonic so what this is is that when in a building in a room where things like sonic unleashed um fucking on the building in which sonic and omicron are being made like sometimes one of us will step in here and kind of like look around go what's this vibe what what what is yes just lingering feeling there you go there's all the bad memories really there was there was a
Starting point is 03:21:37 there was a day like eight nine ten days ago where we came in here to record omicron and i'm sitting in here eating a bagel in the dark yeah you were and i think matt came in and we didn't even talk to each other and eventually we got up it was like omicron but then it was fun yeah it was fun add a little bit of fun that's the day you almost hyperventilated yourself to death in that library yeah i mean sure was i'm legitimately terrified somebody made a joke to me about the final boss being nine impossible and yet my problem uh here here i'm i'm here here's a problem in general before we even started this lp i heard how the final boss is nine beatable which is the hallmark of a good game that you can totally defend look all i can shoot lp it's nice to know it's nice to
Starting point is 03:22:28 know that it's it's like a classic before it's even done yeah oh yeah because if it wasn't like it would not only would it have not have been worth it but it would have like put this one on the shelf boys oh fortunately it doesn't matter if we win it's the friends we made along the way counts we didn't make the trip for friends detroit is coming detroit is coming and and i gotta play that you're gonna play that you're fucking playing you're fucking playing it you fucking i play the majority of this but like it doesn't count you did this to us you're not fucking not playing it you agreed we'll yell at you we'll yell at you that you did the bad decision that's fine i might make an all bad decision run for all i know it's like blade runner but what if decker
Starting point is 03:23:15 was the fucking replicant fuck every time you make a good decision i'm gonna play ahead and ruin the save and go back and make it so that you always made the bad that's fine i don't i have no i have no okay in this fight okay let's start let's i want dog in this for detroit we're gonna do a sealed envelope podcaster video whatever the fuck talking about we do the call at proper cage absolutely but david cage bingo but i do have uh one question for you guys about detroit despite it being sci-fi despite it being entirely about robots will it also for some reason include magic yes i think that's almost uh you know what you know what i i had some magic because they've all had it all of them and i you know i'm actually gonna say i don't think so on this one every
Starting point is 03:24:11 because he's the going hard sci-fi but it's gonna be everything else stupid but we have to sit down and actually do that i'm i'm gonna go i'm also gonna go with no magic i don't yeah no there's gonna be a little bit of of wonder unless her true soul as a robot is magical is magical in which case yeah no the yeah the soul becomes like a real man physical i'm going i'm gonna count that as an exception yeah but other than that outside of that i don't think so um aside from that yeah uh yeah we'll do that we'll do that sealed envelope before the game probably the week before the game comes out so that we'll have all the trailers to to look over and and go over we're not gonna go find any like leaks or anything like that because that's mad cheating and ruins the flight play it honest
Starting point is 03:24:58 play it real um yeah that's always been our mantra that's and uh we'll put that out before the thing so that people can make their own bingo cards uh and we can hopefully use those bingo cards me and willy could be on bingo duty and then when we hit the end of the game open them up and we're all right we can cheer as we shit ourselves yeah right on the spot is there is there a wager that you would feel comfortable like having the lost condition being i will shit my pants for real in public so you have to you have to set that up but you have but then you have to make sure you're wearing like full-on or on stream on stream fine you have to put on tarp no the way down has to be your regular clothes but but it's you only but no but then everyone suffered yeah yeah yeah
