Wow, look at all those best friends that aren't.
Ahhhh
Hahahahaha
Oh. Panic click, click panic.
Oh, you get you fixed it?
Super Doki Doki click Panic.
Hey, who was that voice just there?
Hello.
Hey, it's me. Your good friend Plague.
Hahahahaha
No.
Oh, that's right, I jinxed you.
It's actually Zontan.
Yeah, oh.
I draw the hintes.
You win.
Yorge.
Oh boy.
Yorga.
Hey George, how you doing?
Good, how are you? I'm okay, I guess.
Oh, that's the George I know and love.
If you don't know this guy's name by George,
you may know him from his YouTube channel,
Super Bunny Hop.
Super Bunny Hop.
I can't wait to see how many people are going to unsubscribe
literally right now.
So I didn't know that you guys are streaming this right now.
I have like a chat to manage at the same time.
Yeah, sorry for springing that part on.
It was a recent addition to the show
is that we started live streaming it
with some video and such.
Well, we mainly try and keep it
like a regular audio podcast
and let the chat people eat themselves.
So now we...
Literally doing that now.
We know that
we regularly terrorize your life
with unknown
people showing up and accusing you
of things and such.
Why do you do this to me? Why do you hate me so much?
Listen, George.
I was very tired.
That's why?
The answer is because we love.
I was very tired.
This is how we love, George.
I did not understand a joke that Matt
was making at the time
and...
Forget the inception of it.
Forget the inception of it.
Mistakes were made.
Mistakes into miracles.
It's okay.
Sonic is pregnant now.
I'm afraid of
but I also am like
overjoyed at the thought
of you hitting that first wave
of what is unsubscribe
from SuperHoneyBob
SuperBunnyHopababab.
I need to unsubscribe
from my steam copy of HoneyPop.
Yeah, no.
That's not blackface anymore.
That's taking food out of my kids' mouths, man.
What are you doing?
I'm wondering if this is going to
really come back to bite me in the ass
or something. If I try to run
for political office later
and they just like Google search.
If you go to Google and type in SuperBunnyHop
let's see how
three results down
is SuperBunnyHop blackface.
Thanks, guys.
Oh my god.
I'm going to jump out the window.
Pat pointed that out to me just before
we started this.
I want to give big shoutouts to the person
who originally pointed out that to me
which was Austin.
Austin Eruption
sent me a
image of his Google search results
in which Austin
Eruption blackface is like number five
on his search results.
Why is it number three on mine?
Hold on, hold on. And then I go
man, that's hilarious.
At least I'm not George.
And then sends me the follow up picture of
so for me
George blackface is the
number one result.
And for a lot of people it's the
number one result.
But incognito mode
it doesn't.
It's being skewed.
I don't see blackface on here.
Now here's the thing though.
That's really just the first milestone.
The end goal is to have
anyone that types in the word blackface
then be followed up with SuperBunnyHop.
I would be okay
with that.
Like redirecting people away from hate
towards
bunnies.
I got this weird new audience
that keeps coming in en masse.
What's up with that? They seem really...
Oh.
Well they are theater kids.
I don't know, maybe I could convert them
up theater kids.
To whiteface.
Or to
noface.
That's the new form of theater.
The noface where you just wear bags
in your head. Oh boy.
Welcome. Thanks for
stepping on man. No problem.
Thanks for roping me in and not
telling me this is streamed.
We assumed you would have known.
I can't really
put on the blackface. I just have to pretend
I don't. Yeah.
The usual tirades are going to have to
be
toned down.
Since this is going out hot.
If I talk about not liking $20
PS2 games being put up on a shitty
emulator.
That's not going to be live.
I'm sure most people would agree with you
about that.
For shitty PS2 games.
What was the other one? Oh yeah.
Huey. What about Huey being a
good guy who probably just
is looking out for his family. Trying
to pay his bills.
I don't even remember.
I still stand by the
case. Those days are behind us.
There's no smoking gun evidence.
Let's move forward.
There's no smoking gun evidence as the domain
of the new year.
Hopefully a happy one.
Let's move forward with our lives.
It really won't be.
We'll try.
Honestly, for the mass majority
of folks, this is still just a good
old hot podcast that you listen to
whenever you want.
You can even stop it right now if you want
it to. Like right now.
See? There you go. Oh my god.
They stopped it and then they resumed.
It was amazing. It's like their
animated TV show.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The villain of
part nine is you. Oh, that turned 30 years
old yesterday. They're doing a live action one
this year, aren't they? They're doing Diamond is
Unbreakable live action. Yeah.
And it looked like shit. One thing to look forward to.
I'm not
super looking forward because I'm not
that I don't have that much faith in the
Japanese film industry. I'm really excited for a
Japanese budget on
stands.
I just live action Japanese
movies haven't really
made me think that
I can't wait for that awesome scene
where in order to defeat
Kira, Josuke just pulls
out a gun and shoots him.
What? George,
what is the best
live action Japanese adaptation
of a game or
an anime or something like that that you've seen?
There was a very shitty Dragon Ball
Z one that I think was made in the mid-90s
where
I saw it when I was a kid. I vividly
remember shoes on strings
dangling around the top of the frame
and just laughing.
And that was the best one, was it?
It was the only one.
Oh, well, it's not Japanese, but
which still means it was the best.
If I had to pick best
adaptation into live action, I would
go for the Fists of the North Star
movie. Oh, God. For sure.
Okay, so
like, like so
bad it's good awards aside
I would give it to Death Note
because it's the simplest
one to do.
The budget is only spent on Ryuk.
Isn't it just a bunch of kids eating
chips and drawing pictures?
And the stakes are sky high.
Yeah, it's really basic
like in terms of like what kind
of budget you need for that because it's just like, okay
get random folks to pretend they're
having a heart attack. Go.
Not that hard.
So they did it and I was like, yeah, that's
a decent adaptation, but that doesn't work
for like 90% of the anime
and games that you want. Yeah, I forgot
I saw that. I saw that before I saw the anime
actually and I genuinely
enjoyed the movie. I got one for you.
GTO
GTO's
live action adaptation is decent. That's true.
It wasn't a movie. Well, there was a movie that came
after. That's a series. It is a series and it's
pretty good. Yes, you're right. That's a good one too.
It's very different in tone. It's a lot more romantic.
GTO
Google image searching is just
like coming up with a bunch of
bullshit. Looks like
Pat, you could use some George Socks.
Yeah, Wally, did you order yours?
I did and
that little hole in Pat's
socks there could be filled with a George Sock face.
Well, Pat,
I'm sorry to inform you that the extremely
limited offer of
Super Bunny Hop George Socks
has expired.
I feel like you've been saying those have expired
for like eight months now.
Did they re-up though? I saw they re-uped, right?
They re-uped for Christmas
and
holidays, excuse me.
And
they recently
ended that campaign with like 300 sold.
We did 800 the first time.
So that's a lot of socks.
Now, what if I want to put
George face on other parts of my body?
Like my dick.
I
will have to partner with some other
companies. Then you'll just have to use
the sock as other people sometimes use
socks.
The secondary
usage of a sock.
The secondary objective.
One of the most fun things to do
with those is
this is true.
It's an exclusive George Sock
technical feature that you cannot do with other
socks and that is like stick your finger
behind my face and make these weird
disgusting transformations
with the elastic stretchiness behind it.
Oh, that's really helpful for the
dick stuff. Yeah.
How does that make you feel, super buddy hop, that
people might be using your socks for not
foot purposes?
It makes me feel like
my socks are versatile
kitchen appliances. Okay.
That fulfill more than one purpose, so
should be ordered more than one time.
I mean, for real, like
there's nothing, you can't stop
nobody. You can't stop.
So like, if you really wanted to
there's no sock of me, right?
No. But you could take a
screenshot of any live action thing I've done and print
that out and just jerk off all over it. You could
if you wanted. Like
I couldn't stop you. No one
wants to encourage hot glue on the
podcast. I don't think we need to go there.
I've heard you say hot glue multiple
times and it's
usually talking about those fucking anime
figures.
What the fuck is this?
Is there anything? What is your question?
Is it literally
hot glue as a joke? Or is it
hot glue?
Why is there a question here?
You have all the information you need.
I think the
most enjoyable picture I
saw of George Sox lying on the ground that
were not actually
George Sox was
someone on Twitter saying I missed the campaign
but I'm just going to have to pretend and it was
a pair of blue socks
that they sharpied on the design
with. That's fantastic.
They just got a bunch of multicolored
markers and scribbled
in the George Sox motif.
Which was basically me sending them a PNG
of that face and saying
do whatever.
Approved. It's pretty good.
Somehow it did. I wish I had the guts
to send somebody a PNG
of my face and say do whatever
and then start
a merchandising deal with them.
So
we haven't seen you in a little bit
but
I'm going to get to see you I think where you're going to
MacFest right? Yeah.
Cool. I'll catch you there.
That was very excited.
I have to
go outside.
Figure that out.
I like that. I like that trepidation.
I like it.
The last two times I went to MacFest
I took the megabus from Atlanta
which is a 12 hour bus ride.
That sounds fun. And I caught a cold
both times.
And so I'm tired of dealing with that shit
so I'm like paying real big boy money now
and taking an airplane and it's going to be
really weird doing
what I have gotten used to doing
in 12 hours in 2 hours.
Yeah. Super worth it
honestly like hopefully not catching a cold.
And the more you do it
and the more terrible experiences you have
the more you understand
like fuck it I think
this is a really long flight I might just try to
get like something better than economy class
or whatever. Oh my god.
Okay. I guess I'll work my way up there
slow. No it's not about working your way up there
it's about getting off a plane that was
like a 4 hour flight and like
feeling like my knees are about to explode
and basically deciding
that you know what like maybe I
will pay to not have my knees feel like they're exploding
because certain flights
certain types of carriers or whatever
like have extra shittier cabins
and stuff so I don't know man
like I feel like yeah
saving your time in transit is worth it.
I got a little bit of
a taste of the good life when I
went to Sweden
to the game conference that I
somehow got invited to speak at.
I remember that. Yeah. They
bumped me up to like the super duper
first class of an international flight
where you're in like a little
Star Trek cabin
where you have a seat that reclines
back into a bed
and that was just like
a whole nother level. Suddenly I was like
oh this is why
I guess rich people don't have
stress problems because they have
reclining beds.
You had your big boy pants on. Yeah.
I was like jeans in a t-shirt
I was not I was underdressed
for the occasion. I was the only person
not wearing a full suit in that
part of the way. Honestly that
feeling used to make me feel very awkward
but now I relish in it.
That relishment of being in a place
where everyone's wearing a suit because they're doing business
stuff and I'm wearing my fucking
shit clothes and I look like I'm a hobo
and like no I'm
supposed to be here and you're all gonna have to
fucking deal with it. So the
thing is though like think about the flight
to Japan. Now
yeah. I imagine he thinks about it quite
a bit. Would you not do anything
to make that fucking 13 hours
more comfortable?
I mean I had
a cold on that plane to Japan
I didn't have a cold on the plane
back from Japan
and I don't know if there's much I could have done
to make that go away. Here's the deal
of George is that
you're gonna be taking a flight to Atlanta
correct? No way.
From Washington that's just two hours.
Yeah so it really doesn't matter. You know
you're not gonna get a cold but you know what you may get
Ebola
Oh wait. Zika.
No to get Ebola
you need to like be drinking
people's bodily fluids transfused
in the fluids of other things you're drinking.
To get Zika virus you need to be pregnant
right? No.
You need to get bit by a mosquito. Well it's only like
really bad if you're pregnant. Yeah.
But it's also a bad disease in general
but the problem is that
once Zika leaves your body and you're totally fine
your kids will be fucked up forever
like super fucked up. So just
don't be pregnant and get it over
with while you're still a single man.
Yeah.
And unless you like want to
give birth to like a homunculus then
What if you gave birth to a homunculus
and it was like Sonic?
Like
half human half Sonic. Then you'd
get a Twitter post from the Sonic the Hedgehog
Twitter account.
That's worth it. It sure is.
Son your horrible life
was oh no it's not going to last long
you drown him in a dumpster but for that
brief moment. Yeah for that brief moment you'll be
e-famous. Nice.
Slightly more so it might even get verified.
But isn't like the thing about being a homunculus
is that you're just kind of like a little
shitty useless creature and
honestly it depends on what
fiction you're
reading. Yeah I'm assuming he means like
the parent takes all the glory
and just like you know
I mean you know like in Bloodborne when
you get to the one rebirthed it's just kind
of like this slimy blob of
leg. The one reborn is pretty gross.
Yeah.
Did you have a week
and was it gross?
Me? Yeah.
Yeah you George.
I tried to catch up on good games this year
I really like when I was writing the video
I realized I really gimped myself with my
collection of games that I was playing like trying to focus on
western PC releases so I didn't exactly
know what would be my quote-unquote game of the year
so I went and played
I finished the Titanfall 2
campaign. That's what you did?
Yeah you guys really like it.
I think it's good but it just doesn't seem like what
I need in my life right now. Yeah you need
garbage. I appreciated your
video on the return of skill based
movement and
I think that was a really good analysis
sir. I still
I don't mean to cut you off. I still remember
a fucking topic somewhere
where I was like who the fuck is this super bunny
hop guy with this fucking video
and the response to that was like
you're complaining about a guy named
super bunny hop talking about
skill based movement and first birds and
shooters. I remember that Neogev post
Yeah I remember that one. It was hilarious.
Yeah it was a good video man. Yeah I
really like the way the game
handles movement of course. I like
the gimmicks and the themes of the level design
like one thing that I think is really cute. The whole thing is just like
super duper cute. It has this 80s cartoon
vibe that you wouldn't know if you just took
it at face value but like that
scene in the beginning where Captain
Lastimosa dies or he like
tumbles out of the titan and is like
oh you're the one rifleman
grunt who like managed to
cough enough blood to wake yourself up in
this pile of bodies. Here you're a pilot
now I guess bleh as his
eyes roll to the back of his head. It fades
to black and you're like burying him by the river
under pile of rocks. All that happens in like
45 seconds. It goes
by so fast that it is like
comically paced. It's because you're the last
Jedi man. Yeah I took it
for like a platoon moment you know
and it's also like
this is how much it shit sucks
to be going up against
the IMC usually but
turns out that BT is really really
competent and good and I would like
to think that most of what happened was
due to BT being awesome. And before
you know what BT is like cracking
jokes and telling stories and like
learning how to give you a thumbs up
it's such an adorable
story. And I like
I kind of almost wish the visual
design of it reflected like a lot of the
energy and the life in this universe
the robots
they look like the new transformers
like they're a bunch of car parts kind of
kind of slapped together even though they
talk like old transformers. I
disagree there because I'm
really not on board with
the new transformers designs. I
think they're too cluttered and complicated
when they start moving. What I'm saying actually
but I don't feel that with the titans
because I feel like the titans have
large clear parts
to them. I can tell where Scorch's
arm starts and ends. And I
feel like the chassis for each
different design is like a
specific shape that I can
identify. You may be not
when they're like on a lineup on the
horizon you may be like their silhouette might
confuse you for a couple of them but I
think once you're looking at them up close
you can see like okay Scorch looks like a big
heavy round thing. But for
the attitude that they were going for I kind of
wish they looked more like children's
toys. You wanted them to turn
into it's a little bit more. A little less
realism. I wanted them to turn into a coffee
cup and hide out
in society. You know
I think it like
if that's what the original games art style
was then that would have been
you know welcome but
we're going for you know realistic
FPS with crazy ass mechs
involved. You know it's nice so
but realistic with
like four quote markers
because there's so many like
weird ass scenes in this game
where there's
physical slapstick
comedy being created by the level design
especially in the assembly line
like with the assembly line
level was going through I was just like grinning
from ear to ear. Every time I died it was this
goofy moment of like Bugs Bunny
getting hit by an anvil. It's like
Buster Keaton like getting
ground for the machines of a clock tower
or something. Or like ripping
the art gun out of the robot's
hands
and it's just like I can't do my
job now sad you know like there's
definitely those goofy moments yeah. But
the thing that like kind of killed me
and ultimately made it hard for me to play it in
long sessions I just kind of did two maps
and then like rested for a couple
of hours and played other things and came back into two maps
but it's that the AI
of the grunts in that game is just not
interesting to play against. They kind of
live and die in four seconds
and teleport a few bullets your way
and then die in one click.
Yeah they're not much of
a challenge. I think the
reapers are you know a little bit
harder and the Titan pilots are
a lot more fun fighting the reapers than
most every other enemy in the game.
I think that's a common experience yeah
but I think that the enemies
that you're fighting are kind
of like sprinkled throughout these levels
that are more
interesting because they're mechanics
and what they're asking you to do in the level
is fun and
the enemy's placement is not so much
the biggest deal. Like
you know when you get to that amazing time
travel moment it becomes a joke
how easy it is to take on the enemies
but that's the fun of it
that's what they want you to experience.
Also are there any
energy drinks? There aren't.
Fuck. But yeah
the
I feel like the you know the fact that you're having
an easy time with them is like
their challenges is sort of
secondary you know what they want you to do here is
like do this crazy platforming section
with the satellite dishes
or you know use the arc gun to do all
these different things and so. Or kill
all those friendly robots. And that stuff's
always fresh. They gear up
for that they really kind of
assigned themselves to that fate from the very
first cutscene because by the time you're at the
crazy time travel segment you are
basically recreating
that very first cutscene.
And I just kind of wish that like the
basic core combat of the game
against AI was
more challenging and interesting than
as challenging and interesting as
the cool stuff going on with the level
design and the movement. Did you feel
that the
challenge was just as easy when you went
into the like final
um, Titan Battlefield
mission and then when you fought
Viper? I think so
I mean Viper was one of the few bosses
I killed on the first try. What?
Nice. That's impressive man. I feel
dumb now. That's impressive.
I was again
grinning from ear to ear on the next level when
they're like oh god we're at
we're at our last moment everything's going as
shitty as possible. Time to break out
that stupid overpowered thing from the first
game. Oh yeah.
I know this is a basic
thought but like have you tried upping
the difficulty? I was playing
on hard mode. Okay well nevermind
he's better enough than us.
He plays Rainbow Six all day.
You're big strong cool
FPS man. Well I think the thing
is that for that movement video in order
to practice real good I played the gauntlet
over and over again and
until I got really good times for it to recommend
hard mode for me which didn't necessarily
mean that that was where the game
wanted me to be in terms of damage
density but it was
it was what it suggested so I stuck
with it and there were a few frustrating moments
where it just kind of felt like I was up against a wall
of enemy DPS that was getting
me stuck but I remember
like two of those and one was
in the assembly line which
soured the assembly line a little bit and
the other one was towards
the end of the time travel movement when you're just like
stuck in a room full of bad guys
and the only way out is to teleport into
a different room full of bad guys
and then I'll just teleporting damage
in your direction with hit scan
but those were like
the only real two grinder
moments I can remember
from the campaign.
I felt there was
initially
when I kind of came into the
end of the assembly line and they lock you into
the room
and I wasn't running into the houses
and I was having a bit of a harder time
and then I was like oh wait just run and hide in the houses
get your reloads in there
and it became a lot easier
and there was another moment
oh yeah when I
when you're doing the
the fastball mission where you're
using the art gun to run off of the
side light and the cranes
oh that was a lot of fun
yeah so there's definitely moments there where
like reapers are just on your
ass and they will not stop following you
and
I had that
be a bit of a challenge for me as well
I retried that one a few times
but I don't remember
I remember every death in that level being
a fun like oh okay I see how I can do this
differently next time kind of death
yeah so he's just too good for us
yeah I guess so good game though
I yeah
like take those skills online
into the multiplayer and
be the be the big strong man
well not that not anymore now you get your ass blown out
no one's playing free for all though
yeah because free for all fucking sucks
I wouldn't know
that because I've never got
no I mean free for all sucks in all first person
shooters you're wrong
you're wrong about something on the internet
I'm so right
I'm so right
I would have no idea but
free for all on FPS is garbage man
free for all for
garbage in any game that has hit scan weapons
I didn't know when that change occurred
because I went into
some modern shooters expecting to be like
by myself and then it's like no team is
base team base is part of it
and I was like well why is that
that change happened with
Call of Duty 1
I want to say no counter strike
yeah terrorists
well what I was like wanting
to experience with the free for all
in Titanfall 2 is something that might remind me
of quick 3 arena
quick 3 arena is a great FFA game
come on
that's why I specified the hit scan
right right
the rail gun is the only viable
hit scan weapon in quick
the only viable one you also have the machine gun
oh fuck that
it's candy rocket launcher
but yeah
I have zero authority in this conversation
I have no idea
quick 3 is tough to go back to because I'm old
I think that's the reason not because it's not good anymore
because quick lives the shit
but I'm old
and I can't do it anymore
maybe bunny can do it because he's young and strong
I mean you just gotta keep mashing spacebar
and looking in the right way
see I'm so old I forgot
to just smash spacebar
also apparently you don't like slide hopping
what the fuck
I hate slide hopping
I literally hate bunny hopping
you and Gabe
I'm at you
you're at
you're here
bro
I like skiing a lot
I like tribe style skiing
a whole lot
because it's built into the game
but tribes also works because the maps are made for that
I have serious problems
with any type of unintentional movement
because I always
I'm always pretty stodgy
I wanna play this game
and it's like
if you fucking
rub your dick on the arrow keys
while jumping you get to go 100 times faster
it's like I don't wanna do that
I completely disagree with that
I think the end result should be does it look cool
and then that's it
yeah it usually looks fucking stupid
if it doesn't look stupid and it looks cool
bunny hopping looks fucking dumb
there is a loading screen tip
in Titanfall 2 explaining how to slide hop
and I think slide hopping looks really cool
and it also looks like it makes sense
because you get a speed boost from the slide anyway
and it also is like
I feel a nice middle ground
between skiing and tribes
ascend and bunny hopping and quake
because you're holding down
the quote unquote
the equivalent of the ski button here which is Crouch
if you bind that to a mouse button
you just kinda look where you wanna go
tap spacebar and you go faster
this discussion makes
this discussion makes me wanna like
open up a custom Titanfall server
in which you're not allowed to jump
I'm guessing you hate Lucio
how do you feel about wave dashing
I hate wave dashing
okay
I'm gonna jump out the window
yeah good job that you were able to find value
in a shitty game smash people
Pat has shit opinions on many things
this is part of what he said
oh there's always gonna be more
there's so many
and the main key thing here
is to wear their shit
I'm not aware that they're shit
I'm aware they're unpopular
and that most people would think I'm wrong
they're poopoo
am I the poopoo
or are you all the poopoo smash fans
no
I'm going deep on smash cause wave dashing is fucking stupid
but what about a foxtrot
what about fuck you
what's foxtrotting
you do it with space animal
you know my fucking favorite thing about smashes
is that I used to talk like this way back
way back in the day
and everyone was like fuck you you're an idiot
game has so much depth
you're so fucking wrong idiot
and then the fucking inventor of the game
was like no Pat's right
I'm gonna take all that shit out
there is a tutorial video tip
on how to wave dashing melee
you're just gonna sit here and shit on crumpet dashing bro
crumpet dashing
crumpet dashing was alright
you're gonna sit here and shit on crumpet dashing
fuck you you like it
and I heard you there's video evidence
that you are down with the crumpet dashing
well here you don't understand cause you're like this
with music bands or whatever cause you're a poser
or whatever but
like I said it was alright
right I said
that crumpet dashing was alright right
and then you asked me again
and now I hate it
now I hate it just like that
for the position no no
it's not like okay when my
I remember I asked my dad for a toy
it was a mighty max toy and he was like
I'll think about it right
and then I asked him again 10 minutes later
he's like you will never get that toy
for people who don't anymore like me
that's how I am
explain to me the shrek tech
that is crumpet dashing
crumpet dashing is legit it is
when you use the gingerbread man
and you jump and immediately
plank into air dash
and then grab at the same time
and it's an unavoidable move
that basically it gives you
supreme air maneuverability
it puts you in a situation
where you can't really evade the grab
properly even if you try to jump away
you're gonna get caught by the throw frames
it's amazing high level
super good it's high level
I have a friend of mine who recently
discovered the surprisingly
large and passionate
competitive shrek super slam community
oh fuck yeah
he posted just a bit of
fgc shrek trivia
from like the shrek super slam
wiki on to twitter
and thought it was so hilarious and it got like
4000 retweets it's like
one of the most
ground swelled tweets I've ever seen
in my life just like
laughing at how bullshit shrek super slam is
did you know there is a tier
list there's a hard tier
list too there is a shrek
okay shrek boards right like not
unlike smashboards they have a back room
and in the back
room the top
tier players have put together
a tier list and
like it is it is
legit based on their tournament play
and red riding hood was
so good that she was banned
for a play and apparently
the reason why that happened was because
there was a tournament where the top
the top players
like the main guy that was pretty much slated
to be the champ got
bodied by a dude that came in with red riding
hood playing the game for his first time
and it was so incredible
how broken her tech was that they banned
her on the spot and he got super salty
and he quit the game forever fantastic
that they have a sub reddit
someone's trying to push for
a super shrek slam in
Atlanta shrek super slam
close enough
fantastic super legit man don't you
ever get it twisted
evo man you know I just realized
you know who else agrees with me
combo fiend option selects
are stupid uh yeah well
option selects are
not inherently stupid but they're no they are
they're stupid no I disagree I think they're
smart play but it's it's a problem when you
can create a vortex
where the person can't really get out
and you're forced to put it you're forced
into a game of 50 50s constantly
um similarly like
and and like the like hard fgc
will will fight you till you're fucking
dead on this one but like role
cancelling in cvs2 to a lot of
people that was the birth of what made that
game fun uh and
those people are wrong and to
for other folks like you it was
like it was fun before that and I feel that
like for a lot of people in the arcade especially like
talking to like the guys that are like mtl7 stuff
like they are definitely like know that game was kind of dying
out and then the discovery of role cancelling
brought life back into it
um it's kind of nuts how
sometimes that that goofy tech
will actually like extend
this the last ability of the game
I can definitely see that but I mean
still think wave dashing is fucking stupid
okay
like oh it extended melee's life well maybe
melee didn't need to have its life extended
maybe it should have died
maybe it's just that simple maybe this
amazing game play a real fighting game
what am I doing today why am I so on
this I don't know and I think you're
not so on this but you've started
having fun yeah you started to dig it
and you realize that the position was a fun
place to be and it feels so then you just
decided to just keep going deeper than
you actually wanted to feels good
to make smet make fun a smash band
fan that yeah
there you go that's about right
that's the proper end
to this discussion
hey let's have a couple friendlies later
guys yeah hey
what time
do you think it was
that you guys in general
began pushing the
wouldn't it be funny to unsubscribe
from super bunny hop
we never push that ever so
I can tell you exactly
when and why that happened
let's start with when
that was about
three
or four podcasts
ago live
on the stream
and it's at the beginning
of the episode
and straight up all it was
was we were starting
the stream a little bit after 1pm
and the folks were
getting a little bit like surly in the chat
and someone
basically went like this is bullshit that they
haven't started yet I'm unsubscribing
from super bunny hop and we made
the huge mistake of reading that comment
aloud because we fucking
we bought really really loud
would that have been like early December
yeah
oh god you know what he's doing right now
what's the time here
he's looking at his fucking youtube analytics
oh my god
I have some bad news to report
oh my god
it is very very
slight but there were
more subscribers lost
in December than November
with a big spike on December
18th specifically
ok December 18th
is way after the way
after way after you must have done a bad
job that must have been you being shitty
I don't
like what else have you done in that
time frame before we take
this this blow and hold the L
because I'd like to think that everyone
gets that it's a hilarious hey listen everybody
it's just listening to the podcast
right now
super bunny hop does good work
he's a good guy
no one's perfect you can ignore
some of the things you've heard
you should probably go subscribe to his channel
we wouldn't make the joke that you would unsubscribe
unless we thought you'd be subscribed in the first place
it's very slight
there's only like 15 unsubscribing
he's gonna shake you down
for cash at magfest
all 15 of those people
that represents like what
45 cents
don't just subscribe but ring the bell
mm-hmm
I think uh...
in fact you should write
super bunny hop a message on twitter telling
him how much that you like his channel
hashtag blackface
no don't do that
that spike coincides with the titanfall video
no no yeah
but let him know on twitter
that you support his channel and then unfollow
him on twitter
oh my god
no no
I did
we never pushed the unsubscribe thing
but now that's a real
don't do it
don't do it
do not do that
that is a bad bad thing
that is a bad thing and don't do it
that's like hey what if I jerked off
into the school water fountain ha ha
wouldn't that be funny and no I'm not gonna do it
no
maybe I'll do it
talking about using his socks as jerk off socks
and just
well you know why we brought him on right
this week
you're a newsman
right
so we need the
the best independent
video game newsman on this week to talk
about the fact that there's like a butthole
in your automata
oh is that
that's why
I thought we brought him on because we were desperate
and
talking about buttholes later
you get ready for that but
because he's the expert obviously
on news
I'm a buttholeologist oh news right
we'll get there but we were trying to figure out
what you had been up to
well you could do a one man
podcast you're good at this
I don't know about that
but you just get some sock puppets
I legit want to talk to you guys about
furry
yeah furry it's called furry
okay I started playing furry a couple nights ago
and I oh god
rock hard I love this thing
yeah the furry makes you rock hard
how long it's going to take for the honeymoon
to swell over but it seems
like something I
really wish I had played earlier in the year when it first came out
are you a shmup fan in general
kind of sort of
because I don't think we've ever talked about it
but that's cool if you are
I've played a lot of shmups I've talked about
a lot of shmups I can't say I'm super duper into it
but I think every time I've played a shmup I've had
like a net positive experience
right on
how do you feel about
radiant silver
gun I have not heard of that one
but why what the name
okay it's the
precursor to Icaruga isn't that the one that you
like killed in that guy Saturn
what I vividly
remember somebody's radiant silver gun getting destroyed
in your Saturn nothing like that
happened and you're really
really overblowing something that is nothing
okay
my mistake that's how that happens
this is how that happens okay anyway
should I play radiant silver gun
you should well did you like do you like
Icaruga
I like Icaruga yeah if you like Icaruga
then you should play the game they made just before
it's treasure treasure knows what the fuck they're doing
and they make great shmups
um
yeah it's one of the good ones you know
um we can we can talk
we can talk ironhander we can talk rezzel gun
whatever well have you ever played
oh sorry sorry have you ever actually
played elemental gear bolt no
okay because like
is elemental gear bolt good
I have no idea because the joke
is simply that whatever
Matt or goes to a con or something
or is like I'm gonna go through digging through these
barrels for like deals on games
and I'm like is there anything you want and I'm like yes
get me the elemental gear bolt suitcase
because it's the most ridiculous find of all time
because I always hear about it and it's
kind of a lot it's kind of it's just
the suitcase and the cost of it but that's
the whole joke just but is it good
no one knows no one knows no one's
no one has played it
looking at footage of it right now and
it looks not
great but it also looks like it's from 1996
so it's
it's almost it's a game that I prefer
it being a punchline than a real game
oh because then you'll get it you'll like
this is fine where you are shooting
like 2d sprites
it's a strange
yeah I don't know but
um
yeah so you you uh you're playing a fury
yeah fury and I'm surprised that like
fury is making you think more of schmups
it makes me think of revengeance like
I want to parry everything in this game
and well bullet patterns is what
is what catches my eye
and dodging in such eye frames
the boss is like so gracefully
switch between the two modes
of like going from
from schmup man to sword fighting man
uh the furthest I've got so far
is just like towards the end of the third
boss's phase
that third boss's last phase
but uh like the style
of this thing just just feels
incredible like like super duper
confident with how cool everything is even
though the like overall
animation and visual quality isn't
super polished in high budget
um I hear the the artist
behind afros samurai was involved
yeah so that's why the designs are such
a similar aesthetic and that's why
like you can see why I hate the way
this game looks maybe if you hate
afros samurai I don't um
I kind of like the even down to like
the kuma head looking stuff
like there's a lot of visual cues that are
very similar to afros your guys hair
is permanently blowing in
the wind
yeah that's the thing
um how do you feel about the walking
um you mean between the
bosses yeah I
I instantly decided to hold
down x instead
okay and I wish
I'm wondering if there's a way to skip that for the
replay haven't started replaying it yet
it seems like something that might
get so talking
problematic yeah
talking to Liam about it because we did a
quick look on our channel and he told and basically
he was explaining that
that was the biggest problem he felt
where it was just a really annoying thing on the
replay especially was just like
that that walking in between was
very much nothing and it continues
to be nothing no matter how many times you beat
the game and it just
slows things down
unnecessarily
you know maybe there's something interesting
interesting in terms of like
seeing one setting change into another as
you walk from one bosses
level to another but
yeah it quickly loses
any appeal when you're replaying it and it's just
like a lot of down time between
your boss fights and nothing else to do
so I guess what's important is to have fun
now before I stop
perhaps
you know and I as someone who I only saw the
first two bosses
so the third one's so cool
yeah
um
there's a look to it that look
and it's something about the lighting
reminds me of like some of the
cheaper
Xbox live arcade games and I don't know
why I can't quite
put my finger on it. It's a really odd poll.
Because neon is uh
is easy
it's like it's because you know having
like played a lot of and and even like
tested a lot of um
games like like uh
Marsman or Meteor Man whatever it's called
and Wolf Commando 3
there's a lot of like bad
pardon
yeah just and a lot of like bad
top down
shooting things and what not and bad
twin stick stuff. I appreciate the callback money
there's a lot of bad twin stick stuff on XBLA
and uh and and Fury is not
that but it just it just the
lighting of it is similar
in a lot of ways it's really hard
to pin down why that
is but it's just there
um and and part of it kind of
makes things look a little bit cheaper than they are
but the action is totally cool
and what I saw of like the sword play
and the mechanics and the parrying and such
looks pretty dope and I think that's cool
but I haven't given it uh
it's proper due. The one thing that like slightly
deflates my arousal
just a little bit is how much clipping is going on
with this guy's hair and his cape and his sheath
hmm
I do appreciate the simplicity
of the setting where you're just like
it's pretty much like boss rushes
but I yeah I definitely think that
and I thought naively the clipping
was going to go away in this generation
I think everyone's like
oh man
they're going to put all this power to visual fidelity
and the
ugliest ugliest
thing in visual fidelity is clipping
and no one cares again
yeah I guess it's like
it might be like a defining
trait of like this era of video games
but like it's something
that you're supposed to or you're expected
to just not think about. I have
blown
hours and hours and hours and I've blown
like nearly 30 or 40 dollars
on like
fucking re like change your parents
potions in 14
to make my characters like
armor set
like a glamour out to something that looks like
what I want and doesn't just
clip through itself constantly.
This is why you liked the Witcher 3
so much
yeah
there's a lot of reasons but
like clipping is
but all the armor is in that game where we're specifically
minutely
detailed to not clip through itself
yeah they look really fantastic
as a result
makes me very happy. I didn't realize
that that was a thing actually
I didn't realize it
now until he said it that
I never saw any significant clipping
in Witcher at all
which is weird because some parts of that game can be visually
kind of blur because like it looks
fantastic but you know it's still a big open world
game made by Polish developer so you see weird shit
sometimes
but yeah very little clipping. Clipping
is the worst oh so bad so
ugly.
Yeah there's some pretty bad clipping in
Street Fighter
there's some like people's arms
clipping through their bodies is probably
the worst
but like that's their fucking generic model
often time like hair and clothing
is like I said like that
I feel like that's never going away
I feel like that's just like
too much trouble
for people to deal with
the one that makes me go absolutely
batshit crazy is when the
you have a sword on your back and it's a quite long sword
and the sword on your back
clips through the cape
around your knees on every
second step
looks fucking hideous
just spend the resources
to make it cloth based and physics
based and
just fuck
Anything else on your point?
No that's about it
my holiday season was
super hectic with a lot of real life
obligations
and I only
got to play like three games besides you know
Rainbow Six Siege which is the usual thing
hmm
I still think you guys should give it a shot
even if uh
I'll give Rainbow Six Siege a shot when Woolie starts playing
if I'm 14
even if it's not my usual type of
thing well the thing is the banter
that it will create will be like
hilarious video fodder regardless because
you have to talk to each other in this game
and you have to talk all the time
uh the
the whole uh like not even
the meta upper level strategy
of it like the base expectations
for even new players is to just
constantly be reporting what you're seeing
to your other teammates
so um
hearing hearing you guys go
through that would uh probably probably
create a few giggle oh my god
yeah of course I mean I I definitely
I enjoyed the early Rainbow Six games
and then at a certain point I kind of gave
all I you know dropped off but uh
yeah hearing you guys
talk so much about this one makes
me curious to know like what it is is it
is it like just the breach system basically
is that
sort of what is making it so much ready
much it basically plays like
a really high tech counter strike
where uh that sounds awful
uh
where where every bullet hole that
that you shoot into a wall can be seen
through to the other side so
there's these like advanced
strategy
peaking spot techniques where
where you will use them to make little
turrets and then be able to see through to the other
side people die really fast so
the whole uh
general rock paper scissors strategy of it
involves fighting
over sight lines in the map
and uh also being
able to be aware of the sight lines
and then warn each other about them before
they walk into them
and then using
like kind of MOBA s gadgets
and abilities to to create or
wrestle control over previous sight lines
that have been blown in the level
okay now this is a non
sarcastic non-jokey
like thing that I'm saying next
that sounds like
you took every single element
of shooters that I don't like
and combine them all into one game
um I'm curious
do you have do you guys have like
streams or like footage of your sessions
just to see like oh he streams this shit
constantly I do
I make fun of him every time
I want to see what the flow is like
the dad stream
wait what
it's uh
it's an inside joke
inside your wife
are you married
no oh
he said dad stream yeah out of out of wedlock
cool
anyways anyways
anyways wow you really
need a coffee and this is what happens when you can't
get it huh you just give
up on like
trying
to remotely deliver
content or I'm delivering content
are you yeah is this content
is is this the posture
of content like the content posture
I got going on podcast listeners
if you could see foot up
on the fucking table lean
back this is pretty comfy melting
over the edges of the chair
ah come on
remember when you guys did minecraft
story mode
yeah I remember
and mashed buttons to let it
we don't mash buttons in that game
the buttons mash themselves
so do you guys mind if I
spoil the end of season one
of minecraft story mode
well I mean if he spoils it then I guess
it'll be ruined and we don't have to do it
we won't have to do it if I spoil
oh no
oh god what spoilers
oh boy spoiler warning guys
at the end of minecraft story mode
they set up directly into
a season two of minecraft story
mode okay now wonderful
they didn't even wait to
start releasing
you basically have to
buy an extra episode at the end of season
one in order to conclude
season one and then you
start buying new episodes for season
two
and uh it's
so wait 789
awesome before
they started these micro series with
my shone
so 789 are
not part of season one
right
okay
hey I guess that saves us some work
how about that
alright well
if you can pull yourself
together
mentally and physically
can you let us know how your week went
oh man it was a pretty good week
all things considered
I didn't do that much of podcast
worthiness honestly
I played a shit ton of FF15
at which my anger
at nobody knowing who the fuck
Arden is reached a fever
pitch as it turns out that your
characters do know who
Arden is
but they didn't for some reason
yeah and fuck
holding off until the game's
done to figure that out
but it seems very weird that
like um that character
who's uh very important
in the world would be completely
unknown to them by face
for the longest while or first name
or like it's so fucking weird
I'm nearly entirely maxed out
the AP grid
and Willie and I were talking briefly about this beforehand
but once you unlock
most of the abilities on that AP grid
uh you feel like
I feel like the game would be a much better game
I would feel like the game would be
a much better game if the AP grid didn't exist at all
like and you just had all those
abilities yeah but like the sense
but I guess there needs to be
some sense of progression sure obviously
and but they I don't know because
and the sphere grid was cool there's
two abilities in particular that
just feel make the game a lot better
one is uh impervious
which is all the way at the bottom of the
combat tree which is basically a new kemi
and it's a quick recover as well
it's the first thing I bought and it is
fucking fantastic
it makes the combat a lot more fun
save up 333 and just buy it immediately
and uh the second one is
the air dance which is infinite
air dashes in the air while you're
comboing with a spear or
a long uh
short sword I guess they're called
both of those make the combat
just a lot more fun
a lot better
and it's a bummer
that they're locked behind such expensive
upgrades
and also the method of grinding AP
in that game it feels very
unintentional feels very like
min maxi and
after playing through the I'm at level 71 now
like I have no idea how the fuck
the developers expected you to
interact with the sphere grid because
I disagree I
feel that like the
way you grind AP seems very
intentional providing you get the holiday
pack and I feel like
if you go and play normally
I feel like the holiday pack items are
supposed to be like hey you'll get
a couple extra AP if you do really well
cause there's also one that gives you AP
for A plus and finesse as well but no one uses
certainly and you can do
things on your sphere grid to like build
up AP by doing mundane tasks
but like I feel like
uh the normal flow of the game
if you just play it without that stuff
and if you just uh you know even doing
like side missions and whatnot like you're getting
it at a pretty slow rate
I um training is
going to give you a little bit but only once
you know and I feel like
if you played the game completely normally and didn't
grind for AP at all you would only be able to fill up maybe
one one twentieth
yeah yeah no you really
would only be able to max out
maybe like a handful of
but even then like
uh thirty levels gave me four hundred
AP let's say that means
um
uh from one to ninety nine you'd get
say let's say twelve hundred from
purely leveling yeah right
that's enough to max
out one
path on like
one of ten
different pages
the paths are also exponential
in their scaling because your first
step can be eight or twelve points
then you go to twenty four or thirty two
then you go to seventy two ninety nine
and then three hundred thirty three
and then nine nine nine after that
and it's like that jump is so
extreme you know with no in-betweens
there that they don't
yeah well they don't want you to be at
three three thirty three for all of them
even the hardest and fastest grinding method
that I could devise still
would take like an hour of pure
grinding to get one of those thousand point ones
it's crazy have you
uh george tried it all or seen
any of uh f of fifteen is that an interest
for you uh no I want to like kind of save
myself for it for a
time in my life where I have like too much
more stress-free weeks to give it a chance
where I can yeah that's a good level
in the bed watch watch the shitty kings
glave movie nine oh boy it's shitty
I start the game and
and then just like turn off the phone
lock the door and
just roll thing for three days minimum
when I started off
yeah get naked
yeah it's a good game it's a good game
really good game
there's some weird shit all over it though
it feels very slapped together
boy are those summons really good they're absurd
those summons are so
they're absurd I have a question though
damn to anybody out there
and you can answer me this on twitter or whatever
but um
I'm worried about this I'm pretty huge in
the game right now and the summons do not
summon themselves indoors
right
because the so far because
the conditions are such that it's like
hey
yeah somebody needs to become incapacitated
or the battle needs to go on for quite a while
right does this mean that since
my characters are very powerful that I'm
unlikely to almost ever see summons
no because there are multiple conditions
there's okay there are there are multiple
conditions that that will
trigger them and from what I
can tell um there's also
just sometimes a very rare right away
yeah okay uh so
because they're fucking dope
they are and there's multiple of them so
like you're and I'd be big sad
if I never got
to see the cool coolest part because
I got too huge yeah and the thing is
and again each and e like the gods
themselves have different attacks that
they can do as well so it's like you're gonna
you're gonna see them okay I'm not I wouldn't
worry about all right good it really
though puts in perspective
how insane it is in the other games
to like
call in a god
to fucking clean up your little trash
mob your trash mobs to just fucking do
take out those shitty dogs
with like excuse me
like this this being
who has an like an existence
unrelated to your entire reality
is like I'm gonna step in
pick you up and destroy this part
of the world because these guys were like
arguing with each other like why
it just your
squabbles feel so petty
in their presence you know it really
feels like yeah you're summoning
oh no I got attacked by
four quill beasts
better call in Rama
and then like level out
the plane so that the aftermath is
nothing but like smoke and
black thick like birds
earth scorched forever
like yeah hope it was worth it for that
like fucking piece of meat you got
oh I got to bring back to the
the side quest I got three four
tooth bristles
thanks Rama gonna go sell those at the
market
ah it's absurd
I've come up with a new recipe
like you murdered everything
in a mile radius
one of the things that stood out to me
about I've come up with a new recipe
thing is that occasionally
Ignis will you'll eat at a restaurant
and he'll go
ah I've come up with a new recipe
no and it's the exact
thing you just know so he
does that every time when you eat a new
meal for the first time but it's like but he doesn't
say that
he only says that when you pick up shit in the
wild okay saying that in the cooks
presence is bullshit
and he knows it so he just
rubs his chin and goes hmm oh is that
he internalizes
internalizes the restaurant's
food that you just ate and goes I see
what you did there I'm gonna make my
own fucking bootleg version also the
some of the food is inedible
like and I don't mean like it looks bad
I mean the the number one that I'm thinking
of is the the ham decker
sandwich sure which is
literally four foot tall
sandwich oh boy here comes
and then you cut to the camp
shot and what I had assumed
is that that sandwich was
for everyone but no
all four of your boys
have one of these fucking
monstrosities yeah and no one
even attempts to eat it because
I don't I guess there's no animation that would
work it's fucking ridiculous
that's a good game yeah that's a really good
place down here where you can get a dinosaur burger
and they stack it up like I like I am very
excited for those DLC episodes now
especially now that the characters in
my point of the game have like just left the party
for no reason sure to come back
but I'm still
really really confused
as to what the
comrades multiplayer
thing of that season yeah I
have no idea and I'm expecting some
weird mother
base style multiplayer
addition to the like by the time that thing
comes out like the people that really like this
game are going to be
100% clear they're going to be
like they will have annihilated this content
yeah and then they're going to add like
DLC island
I would love to go to DLC island
with DLC content
Bitter Black Isle was a great DLC island
Shivering Isles are a great DLC island
yeah and you're eventually
going to get your episode
Prompto and episode
Ignis and Iolus
exactly you know so if there's moments
where it's like hey guys I have to go
off and do the DLC now
okay so this is a minor spoiler
for chapter 8 but in chapter 8
Gladiolus walks up to Noctis
and goes hey
I've got something really important
I need to do
find out about it in episode Gladiolus
available soon
I'm going to need to leave the PSN store
I'm going to need to leave the party for a little bit
and then your options
are no don't
go how long will you
be and okay by
none of the options are
hey
what this what are you going
to go do
and a character is like oh man it must be
super important
if you have to leave
the party to go do it
and he's like okay I'll be back
after my DLC finish
and it's so weird
well like one of the options should have been browsed to the PSN store
yeah but that option will be added in
in the patch when that DLC comes out
just mid conversation
oh god
oh man that's it's super weird
garbage
yeah no well there's a lot of things
there's a lot of things in that game
that should be garbage
but for some reason they're
the best thing ever
so probably the best
and most famous example is cup noodles
right I find it
weird that you're not mad about this
DLC thing you're like laughing about it
it's funny but remember
we've established that much like I have shit opinions
Bunny has crazy opinions
about the DLCs
because he's really butthurt
about them all the time
I mean I'm when it comes to
small self-contained pieces
of content like I liked
K-Zero and I heard a lot of good things
about freedom cry so I'm willing to give them
a chance but
like I was saying like the cup noodles
advertising in this game is
first of all I'm astounded that it
made it over from Japan
okay with the cup noodles
there's a lot of it
it's a product that exists over here
but yeah but still right because those kinds of ad deals
usually get scrubbed
like think of Doritos
and Mountain Dew for
we'll fucking Beast Walker
but the cup noodle quest
which I'm sure you
have not gotten to yet woolly
the cup noodle quest
is a fucking
like 1930s
radio ad
so overt
it is so intense
I hear good things
you know how Gladio his favorite food is cup noodles
like Gladio just rubs up
and she's like dude
this is
the ultimate flavor
and like he's like he's might as well
be holding up one with a brand shot
and he's reading off of like a
fucking ad copy
and it's like we have to go out into the wild
and get the cup noodle experience
for the ultimate cup noodle
and it's hilarious
it's fucking hilarious
like it's the super intrusive
in game ad
but it's hilarious so it's great
drink your oval teen kids
I had a weird moment where
early on in the game you have this whole thing
where you do a
catoblopas like mission
you crawl up to it
and get a sick ass photo
did you get the ultimate photo
with the ultimate pose
Sonocino Salame
very overt actually
appreciated it
and then like Prompto was fucking loving it
and he's like oh man these things are so cool
and like oh close call knocked
we got out of there
and then like fast forward a few hours
and then just one of the hunting missions is like
yeah go murder one of those things
they're tough
apparently it walked out
and it started destroying some habitat
just go kill it despite the fact that it was
like a cool animal friend
that you loved not barely
a couple hours ago
and then take the meat back to a guy who needs it
for a new recipe
so here's the weirdest thing about
and they spawn a third one
here's the weirdest thing about FF15
is that every single bounty
hunting thing is like wanted for habitat destruction
for habitat destruction
all the hunts that you take
are animals that are destructive
or they're ecologically disastrous
yes however those appear to be the only
animals that exist
in loses
they're don't know I have not
seen very many the two catoblopas
that are like just in the wall
yeah but what about every other fucking
monster or enemy yeah you could do some of
them that you could walk up to real close that don't
attack what about those giant eight foot tall
centipedes
those tend to attack you
yeah it depends a lot of life sucks is what I'm
saying yeah but I'm saying but there's like you
there's like a 50-50 shot that you can just walk by
it I walk by a bunch of spirit
corns that were just chillin they want oh really
yeah they wanted nothing to do with me oh wow
it happens fuck those stupid unicorns
yeah a bunch of bastards
yeah that's a good game George and you should
that's a good game give it the time of day it's a
it's a it's a very slapdash rushed game
but it's very good and it has some it has some
flaws it feels like
so far it feels like MGS 5
but more finished
I'm probably gonna give it a go at the end of
January I have a few trips to make
don't wanna make a trip in the middle of a game
it's
it's certainly a way
better overworld than MGS 5
yeah and
that is like
it's not just a blob
the best thing about
the overworld here is like
while you're driving around they made sure
that like the roadside scenery
is fucking glorious
it's really nice and there's definitely
moments of like
wow if I was in a modern fantasy setting
it would be really cool to look at like
this ancient battlefields
like remains as
a tourist attraction spot
now you know we're like
part of the map is exploded
and it's still
jetting out of the ground and it looks a tourist trap
and it looks really cool it looks really cool
you know like a cute yeah
I think that that's really
really well thought out but the view from
most all of them is fantastic yeah
and it makes a lot of sense now that
you see
they had the table
at the square offices that is like the full
scale version of the map in 3D
and whatnot like you can totally see like
they'd be like yeah okay let's see what it's like
when you're driving from here to here what's the prettiest
pathway we can take
to let you see the world and really take that
oh I have a quick question on
visual quality Willie how many royal arms do you
have
ballpark it doesn't right okay I think
I'm up to seven maybe maybe
six maybe just six sure but
when I originally you originally get the armature
at four right perhaps
and the armature looks
pretty underwhelming as a
as a super attack
every time you get a new one that thing
starts to look dramatically
better I'm hoping so because right now
I'm like it doesn't look as cool as I wanted
to because every because
I noticed it during a fight with a
banner snatch which are fucking amazing looking
and it's as you
use because he's randomly switches
between the weapons that you have to do attacks
yes and you're flying all over the place
but during that the weapons
that are not in your hand are
summon sorting all over the place yes yes and
once every I noticed every time I got
one more would be appearing
in the summon sword form okay so
I have a full appreciation that by the time
you hit 13 it's you are the original
trailer that's what I'm exactly I'm
you're definitely building towards the
trailer and I'm really want to get to
that in gameplay slash in the dreams
that you get like
random FMV dream but
I yeah the original trailers
like your your weapon switching
on the fly is out of control
action is what I want to see in game
because the armature is not that right now
but yeah really cool
was that you no
no I also
had a bunch of other women with the misses who has been
continuing to crush it she beat the party cave
in one shot
was like oh was that hard
and I feel like a tiny shit man
horrible
but more interesting than either of
those is that I kind of fell
down into the dragon guard
hole because of near
automata so how are those audio
dramas so
alright let's back up
let's back up you filling
at all right timeline
yourself getting your jollies
so
it's not that much of a spoiler to
hold on hold on
George have you seen your automata
at all I played through the demo
I had no idea what was going on
so I played here I want to check
it out I came so close one time
to buying it
from a store but didn't and now
my Xbox 360 got thrown in the trash
I don't have a last actually George
it's funny that you mentioned that because we
have a near LP up on our channel
that you could go and watch
play the game
but you also have to play dragon
guard trying to
China okay so let's
back up let's back up let's back up
so I had I had known
for quite some time that
dragon guard dragon guard to dragon guard
three and near are all in the same
series it's kind of a
secret connection
but one of the endings of
dragon guard leads to near
which is super cool that like
I've been told that you're okay to just
watch dragon guard one
but you should play near
I hear dragon guard one is a really
rough game dragon guard one is a bad game
dragon guard two is a
bad game dragon guard three is
a mediocre to bad game
near is a good game
that's basically how it goes but it
sucks because the one good thing about
dragon guard is the story
it's really really crazy it's
berserk ask like there's a character on your
team that eats children
yeah yeah
so I was like okay
I'm gonna go to so on the near
to dot com it's called near
to dot com or whatever it's
the fucking official Japanese site for near
automata and there is
a supplemental materials
page okay and the supplemental
materials page is the developer
going I know that we may have
spread the story around a little bit
here is the names and
in in many cases pdfs
or fan translations
of everything that we've got including
a scene by scene
translation of the your ha
android stage so that's the
point that I saw and I backed off
immediately because like what is your
ha for the glory of mankind
that was a stage play
written by Yoko Taro that
came out in Japan about androids
there's zero chance you
would ever have seen this sitting
zero zero and like the picture
is of these characters with blindfolds
on and it's like warning near
automata spoilers below and I'm like alright
good enough for me close so
but I didn't know
dragon guard one or two other than the ending
either and I
went to the fucking wiki
and looked at the timeline
man you thought that the
fucking smt
or god damn the hearts
kingdom hearts or
fucking what's the other one I'm
thinking of that's that's quite bad
Zelda timelines are awful
this one has a
denotation at the bottom
blue means game
green means comic
red means novel
orange means
play and it's like
okay so Yoko Taro
is a multimedia
cross experience
and it's like and I'm like I don't even know all
the games so luckily
and I'd like to plug his channel because I think he did amazing work
there is a guy on youtube
called Mr. Clems
you can follow
him on twitter at Mr. Clems
his youtube channel has a
incredibly small amount of views for the good work
that he did this guy
does about a 45 minute breakdown
in two parts of Drakengard one two and
three and he's starting one of near
right now that's like okay
this is what happens
these are the characters this is
the total overview of the plot
and it's themes this is what
all of the endings are and what the
what the sequences are you get to get them
here's what this is about here's what this is
about here's how this ties in and he
did one two and three
and he's halfway through near
and I
feel caught up
just from blowing
three hours watching these videos
if to anyone who doesn't
have like I would say
the Drakengard one two and three are not worth playing
I think those are terrible games but their
stories are amazing I think near
is worth playing but maybe not at this
point because it's so so ancient and the
gameplay is not that great
and we have this wonderful LP you can watch
I wonder if that's the guy that did it for
Danganronpa as well I don't think
it is he has he has I think like
total like 16 videos or something
okay there's someone that did
a great one that we linked to but yeah that's
Mr. Clemps he did his good work
and I'm glad to to rep him here
but
Automata okay like
so Automata like Drinking Guard
one and two you're saying pass over but three
like three's terrible I
three's worse than the other yeah
that because you did you ever play it
no I was but I want to go watch our
video where the frame rate drops to
single digits I watched when that came
out and I saw like a bit of it and I mean
I didn't because it looks like one of the newer
games where they would have like I guess fixed
three's terrible and all the best parts of
its story are in like expensive DLC
she's okay
but
it's important right
but after going
through all of these things take this as
pat word for it as opposed to like
what do you mean exactly like I'm gonna
I'm gonna assume that it's like
everything is slight is less than what
you're saying and that like
I can from what I'm trying one
looks like a rough time
three didn't look so bad
I don't I so that's why I called
it mediocre to bad yeah but that's why
I'm saying and then now you're doubling down as you go further
to the conversation I like you're right started
out saying that it was all right and now you're
saying it's terrible my experience
experience trying to stay positive
during that that look that we
was miserable it didn't three did not
seem terrible but
where was I going with this so there
is there is a bunch of shit
so I want you remember that trailer we
watched Willie of the characters
in near automata that was
just the shots of characters
and then their names and some of them were
spoiler blurry yeah yeah
do you remember the guy with the crazy tattoos
going over his chest
like it was a cool looking guy with black
I purposely tried to not internalize
that too much because I want to learn
it so the thing is
one of his tattoos
is a is the tattoo of
the cult of the dragon guard
cult in one cool
so
everything that they've said like oh yeah you won't
have to play the old ones to
to whatever I'm sure that's accurate
but to like really like
get it
I have a strong feeling you're actually going to need
to at least know what happened
in those even on a general
purpose
so I would highly recommend if you don't have
the time or patience to go play through these games
to get up to date with Mr. Clemson's
videos how many of the 10 novellas
do you have to read
probably zero I have
the way they've talked about it and the way
they put like the the fucking thing up or it's
like we're aware that we may have spread the story all over
the place makes me feel and
they've also said that the story will
be
like understandable even without
any prior
knowledge I have a strong
feeling that they'll be callbacks to things from
prior games will be themes and
stuff like that have to sit and watch a stage play
but I seriously seriously
doubt that they are going to heavily incorporate
elements of
the novellas or whatever
the only one the only
one that's absolutely 100
percent necessary they have
completely in English translated
on that website for
people and it's called the space
wars nice
and it happens after
the end of near where there's a fight with the aliens
so
it's funny because I when I look at
near-automata as a
like in now mainstream
thing that's like getting pushed
it's doing its biggest apparently
quite well on Amazon's
charts it's a bit this biggest game that he's
ever worked on and it's clearly with the production
level in the platinum getting involved and such
now and this is
of course more eyeballs on
the dragon guard franchise and now the near
franchise are the same
but aren't the same but you know but like
whatever you can tell who's a real
fan by who abbreviates to do
D for drag on drag on
okay it's one of those
fan bases dark forces
Jedi Knight Jedi outcasts and Jedi
Academy jet jet
I try to paste a link
to the Yorah stage play in the
twitch chat and got told no
but this is
the stupidest thing I've seen in my life
well just to tell people who are
listening to the podcast much like
in audio format where they can get it
it's near
too is the website that links
to all this stuff and there was an English
translation of that page that I saw so
yeah of the whole fucking thing yes
if you're interested that's where you can go and in fact
I can you know can throw the link in the
did you see that lapping their face
did you see the amazing
quote floating around from Yoko
Taro about working on your automata
yeah I would like to
read that quote there's that there's the
great thing about well go on with that first
because it's it's famously known
that he was like an asshole on dragon guard
one and was yelling at the team all the time because they pissed him off
because they would never do anything that he wanted to
do right and
he had to fight with Square a lot to keep the really dark
tones in the game
and working with platinum he had this to say
all the time I spent
on the original getting angry at the development
team obviously platinum's removed that by
working so well so I spend that time
drinking in the end it hasn't really
changed how much work I do but when I
drink I make better games so that's
okay
it's great
it's great it's a great fucking
quote
oh man
yeah and then there was there's
him talking about how
there's an announced atlas rpg
that's gonna be a fantasy rpg
and basically there's
it's a breakdown but the summary of it
it really is that like
as far as Japanese games go
there's a like a chart where you can look at
where there's like fantasy
realism and then there's
like
like fantasy setting like fantasy
setting realistic setting and then like anime
style and realistic art style you know
and he pretty much like places like
large chunks of that like one
one big side of that is
persona covers the
modern day anime art style
you know and then there's like
off the square stuff that
covers the fantasy
not anime art style more realistic
looking things or not
and he pretty much puts near right in
the dead center all of that
and he's like we exist in a small space
and that's what
and this is where we're comfortable right now
with near and
the fantasy rpg that atlas just announced
is going to overlap that space
in addition to them having the persona
space so I'm asking the
fans to please reconsider
buying their game to support near
automata instead I'm very
I think it's very brave of them to start working
on this project and I think that's very cool
but please for near
sake that's really good
reconsider this project
you know he's a funny guy
he's a funny guy
yeah that's a fun like but where I was going
with it is that like this is the most popular
franchise has ever been it's very
possible that like this is being treated
almost like a guns of the patriots thing where
you know if any
if they wanted to wrap up the whole storyline
this would be a right place to do it I don't
think this is likely going to be the jumping
off point if anything
that puts it on the map
and then creates a whole line of
near things where like the back
story let me let me tell
you something it's even more convoluted let me
tell you something about dragon guard 3
woolly there's a character in that
game called accord and she appears
in some of the endings to
catalog the finality
of those timelines oh wow
that character is an
android a straight up
god in the machine that character is an android
and that character is going
to be near automata okay
okay huh
and she time traveled to
dragon guard 3
thousands of years in the future
so yeah guns of the patriots took
place like 10 years in the future and
characters from the rest of the franchise
could show up and have their arcs
wrapped whereas it just seems
like like near automata is almost like spin
off well well I
just meant I just meant in terms of like
the big expensive finale
there is a large convoluted timeline I
feel like there is little to no
chance of that yeah I have a feeling
no in fact the opposite will
happen it's now becoming
a main thing that like everyone else is
one of the endings you will travel back
in time and accidentally oopsie
cause the dragon guard
to happen or some shit
yeah it's no that's
really cool and interesting and like you know
it's it's getting metal gear with it we're
like yeah if you are on board from day one
you're fucking shit in your pants
and excitement yeah and if you're getting
on board now you're just like wrapping
your head going what the fuck what I miss
what I'm oh shit you didn't have 10 novellas
I feel like
at some point incorporating novellas
into your franchise timeline
is is not a good idea
have you guys played the day 6
Japan constantly does this
in furiating audio cause audio's dramas
are like a legitimate form
of storytelling no they're not in Japan
no they're not
they're wrong but they're not
because the guy who makes the thing says
I want it to count so it counts
too bad
to be a fan of things these days
where there's like so much hard work
you gotta do in the fields
to know what's happening in the next
sequel
George I went and bought the tri-gun first
and second donut CDs
so I could listen to the audio skits
to hear about the continued
investors of Vash the Stampede
and his friends to know what was happening
in tri-gun
like there's extended there's
Street Fighter 2 Mad Revenger
this is always
you can go listen to
for extra source material on what's going on
in that plot at some point
it just becomes work
as thatcher fully invest yourself
into a thing see okay this
this is the okay you remember I talked about
the Final Fantasy 14 lore book last week
and how it really fleshed out a lot of the details
yeah that was really appreciated
and really nice and that's a good way
to do it because it added detail
and context to things that were already
there when we're talking about
Kingdom Hearts or near
we're not talking about that
what we're talking about is the most
important thing
to ever happen to the character
you play as
happened in a Japanese only
fucking comic
panel in the Sunday morning of the Tokyo
Gazette that one morning
Tidus's head blew up
dude
god blitzball
yeah man did Tidus's head really blow up
I mean I can't oh he doesn't know
he doesn't know about FF103
the drama the canon ending
to FF10 where
where Tidus accidentally kicks a mine
and blows up this stuff is happening
to Deus Ex and it makes me so sad
I totally agree with you
what sucks what's happening
to Deus Ex
the new game that they put out this year
starts kind of in media res
after a combination
of events from
the novels in between the last game
and the current one and the shitty cell phone
game that no one liked
the launch of Deus Ex
universe was like to sort of
like continue that
and the Deus Ex cinematic universe
that drives the series now is in a
place and using a visual style that has
like nothing to do with the original game
the original game is this like
very square blue blocky
late 90s matrix ripoff
and the new one is like all full of
golden triangles with puffy pirate shirts
it doesn't look like Deus Ex
and it takes place before the events
of the first game
it's a human revolution universe
because that was the commercial success
everyone's gonna agree that eventually
that squares
are cooler than triangles
and blue is better than gold and it's just gonna start
start the circle all over again
just gonna start to move over
and then church coats are cooler than puffy pirate shirts
yeah that's right that's right
I heard that there's already tie ins though
to characters from the original game
and like
people that are that exist in the world
of human revolution and it's such a like easy
cop out way of doing it the way it works is
you see like the bottom of one character's
chin and you hear his
voice and then it
hints at the menu music of the first game
and then the credits roll
that bob page
I'm gonna get him no you're not jensen
no you're not
you're not
it's like the opposite of dramatic irony
you already know what's gonna happen as a viewer
and it's not interesting
he's gonna turn into some weird machine god
and you're gonna shoot him a bunch of times in a pit
to
to
reject the ambrosia vaccine for
the mythical city on the hill
I forgot that part so old men can
dance x1 is really long and there's a lot
you can forget
it's also hilarious nowadays
the voice acting in that game is like
mmm mama mia
what a shame
that's still my fit you ever seen that
clip willy are these all spoilers
no okay well yes but
no um
you ever seen the what a shame clip
there's a fucking side quest in that game
in which
you talk to a woman
and you're like oh I'm gonna go save
your dad right or I'm gonna go help your dad
out right and under a certain
conditions I think it's if you finish most the quest
but you haven't turned it in yet her dad can
be standing right next to her right so what
you do is you fucking one of the fail
conditions is the dad dies right okay
so you take your gun out and you just
fucking blow him away
and what happens
is the quest instantly
goes into you act you fucked up
and didn't save him state yeah
she goes oh my god
dad and JC Denton just goes
what a shame and he's looking at her with this
like blank expression behind
sunglasses he was such a good
man
it's fucking hilarious
voice acting for all the important lines
in that game are delivered so
monotone that they come off as like
unintentional sarcasm
they're the most unintentionally
funny game
JC Denton has negative
affect because he's a thing
um
okay well
that's my week man
sure go check out Mr. Clems he does good work
um I'll
pretty much say that I didn't have much of a
week I've been pretty busy
oh man all I
really did was I watched
us the pilot episode
of Wakfu
because I want to find out the deal
and I was not aware of how
I didn't know that was based on a video game
actually um it was based on an
emo it seems and how
I didn't realize it was a cartoon that was made in flash
so I guess I was expecting like
a crazy animated adventure
that um was I guess
higher budget and it
looks like a flash cartoon and I was like oh
it's not what I expected at all but it seemed alright
um the
like setting is
a little bit just kind of
like I like the art style um but the
set up to the story and the character seems
a bit like um
you know magical child he's got some special abilities
he's an orphan he's someone who's booing
you like magic moses it's a little bit
a little bit of a magic moses
so far I'm like yeah I
but you know regular moses but anything can
start that way and become interesting so
I want to find out because I want to know
what to deal with like how we
get to this amazing nox characters
so I'm sticking around to find out what to do
Oh Willie uh this
is way off topic uh but
uh before I forget
did you and I ever discuss the attack on titan
spoilers I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say them
so don't freak out anybody but the attack
on titan like basement spoilers no and
I don't want to discuss that okay but all
I only have one thing to say about them
it's worth it okay it's actually
actually
worth it it's kind of amazing
okay so really exciting
I'm glad to hear that um
yeah that's it yeah um
but yeah so this
this this uh like cranky
construct looking world of
whack foo is
um
interesting if
not a little generic at first
but uh
plague told me good things that I'm
I'm oh you gotta listen to plague
and this you know in the same way that
like I kind of I remember watching like the first
episode of avatar and like being like yeah
okay okay yes here we go
you know but then I clear like clearly that
goes places goes places so you know
um I still remember seeing
like the fucking preview shot of the third
season at avatar after I'd
watched the fucking fourth episode
or something and it's the black
sky episode and everybody in their new
gear I'm like what the fuck show
is this this looks like
a wig you know what
they have they all have their new hair and their new
gear and their fucking season 3
costumes what happened
wow this looks like the coolest
yeah um
pretty good and I got some hands
on with Akuma and uh
he is very
different and very interesting
uh I like the
continued commitment to making everyone
really different
how do you feel about his hair now that you've played
it's whatever it's so ugly
I find it's fine it's they're trying
something I don't
I don't disagree with the with them the
notion of them trying something and the
classic versions right there or whatever it's
fine you know he's got a big
Mufasa beard it looks so bad sure
not every there's a there's
there's a bunch of things that don't look great in
five thanks you know
whatever like yeah
mm-hmm does it you know
um yeah you got a point
I and and and and like
the aged Akuma look that I would hope for
is is one that I don't think we're gonna get
um
I would have just rather preferred him to look more
like Goken just Akuma
yeah but they just they want to
triple down on the only look you know so
anyway but uh
like knock down fireballs with
range set ranges to them and
like goofy upwards
hurricane kicks and crazy shit it's
it's it's a bit
weird like how much they
decided to change with him and how much you
cannot play him like you used to
um
which is great and the fact he's got like super low
hyphen low low life low study you know that's
always been the case but um
like he's
got this explosive offensive
capability that
is I think
it still means that you basically
have to play almost you have to
make no mistakes you have so much offensive capability
that you're a glass cannon and no defensive
and no defensive capability whatsoever
you get rocked hard
if you fuck up um
he's got a glass chin he's always had
a glass chin yeah and so they they
change the tools but they're still
really strong tools you know so I
think it's it's fresh fresh take
and like whoever these new six characters
are like even if they're
all new or people that
are models you've seen or
whatever like I like what
they've done with characters
uh five incarnations
so far did you see
that people have probably figured out
who one of those silhouettes is
uh the um the the Hinata
yes yeah I did that looks
the art is too close
really solid as a
guess is really really close like the
backpack straps are
exact and considering the rival
schools characters in the beach stage it's
not impossible and also that solves
their we can't make Sakura
older problem just bring in another girl
just bring in the girl that's her cousin
and looks nearly identical to her
and just have her be the new Sakura
and that'll be that boo
I want old gym teacher Sakura
so bad yeah it's fine
no it's not I mean
I don't expect we'll ever get it
I want it too but change
is not okay because like Ono said
he'll be crucified if Sakura ever shows up
in not a sailor Fuku you know
sailor Fuku
yeah how about that you're
you're clever nailing it here
okay I need a red bull so bad
really really bad let's start talking
about uh the news
can we take a ten minute
huh
huh
yeah
I suppose we can
yeah god dammit
if you're gonna be in if you can't drag
yourself then yes and get me one at the
same time how you want the big one or the
sugar free doesn't matter okay
we'll be back in
zero seconds in zero seconds
exactly
hi
we have our caffeine now
oh dude
okay so also like was there
an outline I was supposed to get about
about the week's news topics no no no
well he just throws it at us
okay so like
there it exists it exists
but I tend to just like go into
the topics and uh
you just give me your fresh hot takes hot
takes that gives him is his excellent
segue powers
oh dear okay well the pressure's on
yeah know everything bunny
know it all
of um knowing
things that you might not know before
uh
what do we got
sip sip slurp
uh well
I mean oh you were trying to set me up for
a segue I see what happened
there I kind of totally missed it because
there was no visible beton
being passed now
you kind of clunked into my back and
and we both fell over there
um
by the way you've been you've been playing
the new hit man buddy oh yeah oh so we're
right into that
well I don't know like it's
I can't tell if I love it or not
like like are you a fan of
it as a franchise uh yes
okay I have what's
your favorite one everyone I
haven't played all the way to the first one because it has a
stupid control scheme but uh
it sure does it sure I mean blood money is
a great game this one just say
blood money just to make sure everyone knows you're
legit all right um
but it's like really hard liking this
new one because for as
as well built as it's like levels and
systems and and gameplay are
it also
exist within a system that is such
a bullshit to the point where you can't
tell if uh
which which part of the
bullshit is is part of
the game or part of the bullshit system the elusive
missions is a concept elusive
target in theory
but in in execution
I absolutely like can't stand
the ping of of missing
one and that's happened
more often than not since I got the
full experience there's been
I think three elusive missions since I
completed elusive targets and I've only
been able to do one because
I I'm they're up for a
week and I have like a life
I have I have day jobs
and a YouTube channel and
and I'm sure I have friends
out there well bunny
what you have to do is
schedule your entire
life around the elusive
target that's what they want you to do
they want you to install the square enix
hitman fun app on your phone
they want you to treat elusive
targets the way mmo
players treat their weekly drops
well currently hate that because it's a single
player game that should be offline
but it's not no
currently you have
to activate bites the dust and and go back
into time to play those because
that was the one thing when hearing about
the complete package that came out was that
while I never had a problem
at all with the
episodic nature of the release because
like I get it each one is a big
mission and you know you're doing
the best you could and then you release the final product
with everything on it but then that final
product everything on it didn't have everything on it
and that's bullshit
that's just a bad practice and
that like anyone can tell you that that would annoy
everybody especially anyone who has
a completionist drive
to come to have everything and play everything
because I have a really intense completionist
drive usually but my way around
this would was to go
oh time shit oh that doesn't matter
fuck that
and I just ignore that it exists
entirely what kills me about it though
is that the time shit is like wacky
new characters with funny things
to say that
sometimes redesign the levels a bit
for it like I know I was playing an elusive
target on a friends machine that was the
the black hats
who converted one of the
rooms in the attic into a computer
lab and previously this room was
just like an empty unused space
and you know when you go through the game the first time
you're like what is all this unused space doing there
and then you start playing some elusive target
some extra missions and you're like oh this is
why the levels are as big
and sometimes empty as they are
um
and I really
really don't like
that that's happening in a single player game
and I don't like that you can't replay those
and the whole concept of the elusive target
being something that you get like one
shot at
seems to give them a free
ride towards not necessarily re-releasing
them permanently at all
although I would be really
surprised if they chose not to at any
part in this game's life cycle to temporarily
re-release old elusive targets
I have a feeling that
the very very
end of this game's life cycle
they will unlock those missions
I feel like that would be a
because the whole point of the elusive missions
is so that you get in it
and you play it now and you play it
as each episode comes out and you stay in it
and you stay an active customer
but once that active
release of episodes
stops
there's no reason to have people
keep doing that
and there's a value add to
saying hey
we're gonna add those elusive missions back in
SDLC
it's weird because coming off
of AppSolution
it was very clear that you need a homerun
you need to re-establish the Hitman franchise
and you need to
knock it way the fuck out of the park perfectly
and it seems like you've had everything lined up
to do that and then
just had this one little bit where you're like
let's
no you fucked up on that
and you just didn't have to do that
and you would have had a game
that pretty much unanimously
is a one that Hitman fans like
and people don't have anything really bad to say about
except for this whole
it was either people going
I don't want to play it until I get the whole set
which is a value
which is valid but that doesn't mean
that you don't like what exists
you're just like I don't want these episodes I want the whole thing
I like more variety than just the one level
and that's a time based solvable problem
and then the complaints about
the elusives and it's a
really dumb problem to have
when you're trying to pick yourself up off the ground
and dust yourself off
In practice for
the publisher and developers side of the
transaction it's basically a hard
counter to people waiting
for the sale
like super
that's what I meant
by active customer
but you're in there day one
because imagine if
Telltale said that
the episodes there would be some dialogue
choices that were only available for the first month
for the first month yeah
you would never wait for the sale
never
it breaks my heart that being an active customer
is really
so many times these days the
worst way to be enjoying a franchise
because I have a friend of mine who bought the episodes
as they came out
which means that he ended up not getting
one of the bonus missions
or two of the bonus missions actually
Marrakesh and Sapienza at night
in his
quote unquote completed version of the game
whereas I got the quote unquote the full
experience when they
released all the episodes when Japan came out
and
I paid less than him
I waited longer than him he's a bigger
fan of the franchise than me but he
got the worst deal
by being more invested in it
see the thing with that math
is always that deal
is always always
better for the person who waits
if you don't factor
in opportunity cost
which are now elusive targets
yeah and that
usually that cost is
yeah but I got to play the
game now
but now there's a
and that's nebulous that's hard to define
and that changes for every person so for like me
the ability to play a game immediately
sometimes is extreme
over its value or whatever
but now there's elusive targets
are a concrete
fucking feature
they have Gary Newman
Gary what's the crazy one
oh god not Gary Newman not Gary
Busey
I love Gary Busey and I'll never
know what his elusive mission his elusive
target thing he is that that dude is
nutty and he is a trip to listen
to cocaine's great in an interview no
brain injury
he had a huge brain injury that made him
kind of get start becoming that crazy
I thought it was the cocaine
at least he's like making it
a professional skill
yeah he had a big big traumatic thing
that happened in big brain big brain big
big big hit
what is worse
the locked content where
not locked content but like the inability to get
something that is happening later
that you were it's like you have to play
it now like these elusive missions
or something like call of duty
modern warfare
HD remastered where it's like
only available in the most expensive
there's absolutely no question and you
can only get it when you go in and buy this
huge complete
there's absolutely no question you can wait for that package to get cheaper
and still play the same game
is what people were playing a year ago
but you will never get to your hands
on this copy of the game unless you buy that whole
like complete edition
but if you wait a year for hitman to get
cheaper you're never going to play the elusive
targets that the people over the past
year have been playing see so
so I don't
I don't agree with that because but those
limited they are changing modern warfare
remastered over time
you will not be able to play that gun skins
in a shop not to mention
that they added
they added a
micro yeah but in addition that time
pressure to a multiplayer game
playing Street Fighter 5 at release
online and playing Street Fighter 5
now online
are two different games
there is value in being able to play that
new thing immediately yes
that is lost
over time
I when I think about it
like
when I think about it it's kind of hard it depends
on like what is being held for ransom
you know like in this case
it's like a small aspect
of like gameplay
versus like an entire bonus game
I don't think that's comparable
at the same time
you know there's all kinds of versions
of this scummy tactic where we saw the
tiers of pre-order content
they
I mean for me I'm way saltier about Hitman
because like I mean these Call of Duty
games might be $15 one day
but they'll be the complete
experience for $15
Infinite Warfare plus
Modern Warfare Remastered
wait long enough for Hitman that'll happen too
I can't believe I'm saying it
but you have like more of an optimistic
outlook for things than me right now
I'm trying to think of like
what the existing examples
of like a game where if you're just playing
this offline there's just great piece
of content you're never gonna get your hands on
and like
most MMOs
most MMOs you can't play offline
Hitman's
yeah but that's what I mean is I mean I mean
a game with an active single player
well woolly where there's something that like
a character that just doesn't exist
well woolly you can't do a whole big thing
if you played Diablo 3 offline
you would never have gotten to
enjoy the amazing auction house
auction house
right oh wait that's a value add
because that thing ruined the game
yeah I don't know
I don't know but
either way it's it's yeah you're
you're fucking over one
customer or another and
it's just a dumb thing to do
I see elusive targets as
basically being a powerful
new tool in the industry's
perpetual warfare against
people not spending their money
but to be fair that's a battle they should
be fighting because that's what they want
they want their money fought at since day zero
also time is always
an unfair thing to hold over people
in that way because it's
I don't know die before getting
to play the elusive target
then I'll be dead
that's not fair yeah
you could miss it because you get hit
by a bus there is a million exactly
there's a million much more reasonable though and what
really got me salty about this is that I
missed one because I just plain
didn't even know it was there
like whatever news I was reading
that week didn't inform me
there's no like email notification
system in place like you have to
up the game client just to
know do you play overwatch
barely I
he plays rainbow six
motherfucker because he's hardcore
because there are holiday events and overwatch
and like the idea seems to
be that like if you miss out on
getting those holiday event
skins and and cosmetics
you're not going to get a chance
at least for a while they still show up
in the inventory as things you won't have
the skins are something that I don't
really care about if it's cosmetic content
I'm not going to get salty but I am
actually and I had a big argument
with my friend Jimmy about this I am salty
about them taking away the seasonal game
modes I really wish
that I never got a chance to play
lucio ball I want to know what that's like
and I've got a chance to play the stupid horde mode
I get stupid little things but
I'll never know
so they had an update to
actually add a rotation
where you can go back and play brawls
actually
good that was an announcement that was made
about like yeah a lot of letting you go back
to experiencing some of those things and
I feel like there will be
moments in the future where they'll
be like hey you know like
you missed out on this event skin here's
another shout at it or maybe you just have to
wait until the next year's rotation of it but
so
right now there's a good a decent example for this
right now in ff14 there is the New Year's
event right this thing's gonna last
17 days there's already
considerably better than like
your uh hitman
example because it's not a week it's it's
nearly three weeks right yep
but the way mmo's nearly always treat these
is like listen
this is your reward for being an active
player at the current time blah blah
blah this is a special event
how much work goes into each of these events
varies wildly right the Christmas
event had almost nothing that the
Halloween event had a whole new
gameplay thing that was actually pretty amazing
there's some glamour item you get
that you wouldn't otherwise be able to get blah blah blah
right but in
mmo's it has a special feature
that is not in something like hitman
right but I guess they want people to
use that so in hitman what you can go is like well
in an mmo you would go
oh what's that guy wearing we're gonna get that hat
you go oh that was from the
Christmas event that
happened before you even started playing the game
and no you can't get it
because those items are meant to be
lorded over to over people right
your glamour your your
fancy mount whatever it's
supposed to be I have it and you don't
have it that's a big part of the mmo
like culture right
and with pardon gold hammer
gold hammer yeah
and with hitman I guess
what they want people to do is go
oh man
that elusive mission was so
great it's a shame
you didn't play it and then
you go oh
I gotta make sure to get that next mission
immediately and
and I'll get it and then I'll be able to brag
about how I beat the elusive mission
right and it's like
I don't know that feels dirtier for some reason
because it's not even
like there's no culture in single player
games of like having an item that other people
don't have because you can eventually get it
multiplayer game it is a
much more disposable experience
it's it's it's it's it's it's own contained
universe you know planet earth has seasons
because it wobbles on an axis and rotates
around a giant hot is that a new steam game
and not not the the actual
planet earth you know like
video games there they're not real
they don't they don't have to have seasons they're real
of me damn it like like you you
you play a video game to escape
all the time pressure of these
commitments I don't want to like log into hitman
and be like oh god I better multi-manage
my day today and make sure to get out of work
at 3pm before the elusive target expires
quick
kitty cancel my appointments I
have an elusive target to play
yeah no
um at the end of the
day it's just another simple case of
you own a thing
and like the
online component is being kept from you
because you're you played offline or whatever
the case may be and it's just like when you
when you buy a thing and you build played offline
you shouldn't be missing out on that kind of shit
fuck that that's dumb it's a lesson we've learned
three generations ago
yeah but I bet it made I bet it made them a ton of
money yeah and that's what's sad about hitman
is that like this is this is a game
so good that the
bullshit marketing strategies will work like
sim city was it was an
offline yeah an online
only single player game that was like bad and
people are like no and uh
like I don't know splinter cell blacklist
was good but like not good
enough to like really justify
the online DRM and turn
people over this is a case where it's
happening it's finally happening
like a really excellent game
has all of these strings
attached to it and the game is good enough
to
give publisher executives
who don't play these things and don't know what
it's like an excuse to be like see customers
love their online hitman
experience I think
that it's always going to be like this
and whenever something like this
happens the question is
always going to be this detracts
from the total experience right
yeah it's a what if
last guardian was an oopy soft
clean game and you had to engage
with you play to play it what if you
had to install the last guardian fun
app to log on daily
for for more fruit absolutely
I go but are there special treats that are
that exist at certain times that you can
give right for tricks but then you
go cosmetic okay that jump out
the window that sucks
but even
counting that in
how good is the game and if the answer
is really good then
that thing is still worth it
I mean you only care because
you like what's there without the bullshit
right I occasionally care
for bad games that have that bullshit also
yeah but that's usually that that's when
the news hits us because it's a bad game that has
something gross
yeah in it you know
um
right before near-automatic comes out they're going to release
a $400 drama
CD that recaps
all of the drama
just remember that in the new deus
x game if you install the square enix deus
x fun app on your phone you can
scan triangle codes from the game
yep to like
get a new practice point or whatever I did
everything I did that once
is everything a fun app it's a fun
app woolly it's a fun app that you get
your fun bucks with that you
cash in the fun store
yeah big fun
all time
you never had the pleasure of trying smart glass
have you George
I guess I haven't tried the
fun glass yet
it's the
phone app the windows interactive through xbox
to do control
alright
so we have some news
I don't want to install anything on my phone except
like maps in the messenger
that's it
and pornography
yeah I need space for pornography
not the
square enix deus x fun app
unless that links to like
aug pornography
so speaking
of pornography alright
how about making space
in your heart for
the new $2,000
half scale statue of
Ludens
from
Kojima Productions
they're pushing Ludens really hard
and we don't even know why we
care yet
it's a bit out of control
um
if you haven't seen this
it's the really really crazy huge
detailed one again it's half scale right
so we're talking like
probably pat sized
um
that shit thank you
that shit is
because I'm small that's exactly
correct
but with the big heart
there is only 150
of these things getting made and
boy oh boy
you better believe
Matt's probably gonna get one so we have to be friends with him
have you seen it yet
I'm looking at it
so did they confirm or deny
that they used Kojima's face
to scan the guy in the Ludens
outfit I don't know
I don't think that's ever been brought up
that was a rumor I heard
it doesn't look like his fucking face though
you can't really tell though
it's just like two little eye holes
it I mean
was that ever a discussed
like thing like I don't know
I was just thinking out loud
that's all
I guess
my
question with this is like I think it's a really cool figure
I just want to know
why we
why should we care yet
besides the awesome design
Ludens the protagonist of
fucking Death Stranding
probably not if he is
their company logo
it's probably
the walking dead guy
I mean
I
I'm going to go ahead and doubt it
I'm going to go ahead and doubt it and say that he's the guy
that they're going to use on their logos
and he's going to show up in the beginning of every game
and it'll be a thing
but it would be very weird if he was the character
in the game as well
what if he's the final ball art style
but then again the second Death Stranding
trailer was a whole different art style
than the first
I think the visual
language was as abstract as it always
was like the oily stuff
but there weren't like tentacle tanks
and Nazis in a blown up
there's no Nazis in that trailer
it was Nazi-esque
they're American soldiers
give it some time
so
I wouldn't say art style
but there were different
types of fantastical
elements that were on display there
for sure
but it could just easily be
like a different level of the same game
you know what I mean
like in terms of just washed up dead animals
versus guts
and everything's got a strand attached to it
the second trailer I thought looked way more
conventional I was kind of surprised with everyone
being like really weirded out by it
considering that you can like follow this story at least
like
Gilmo has to protect a baby from
weird tentacle oil Nazis
yeah you're right that's so easy to follow
yeah
you can summarize it in one line
the first trailer is like Norman Reedus wakes up naked
on a beach with a baby that disappears
next to a bunch of dead whales
that's like
way more abstract artsy avant garde
bullshit
it's funny that your description there omitted
the most impactful thing of the trailer
to me
which was the five floating figures in the distance
mmm yeah
yeah what are those guys
they could be anything
that was the most like imposing
thing that stuck with me the most
I think mine was
Norman Reedus is kind of like
a pelvic
V
workout goals for the next year
just give me one more summer
and I'll look like him at the end of the summer
ooh
your goals are to have an umbilical cord
what's that V thing
called
whatever sexy V
that makes sexy man easier
the envy yeah
the envy there you go
you think there's a single character in ff15
that doesn't have that
I don't think that exists
I think the moment you're born into the ff world
you automatically have one
if you're if you're especially if you're
of lucis it's called vagina bones
there you go
the envy
what is that I like that
somebody tell me what that is
so I can get it
I'll just draw it on
good good luck with that
have you heard of omori
so it's
this is a trailer
that just dropped for a
um oh nine hours ago
brand new it yeah it is
it is it is hot off the press it is an rpg
maker game that has a really cool
art style and
uh
I thought this looked pretty interesting
in a similar way to like you know you look at like
it if you looked at a trailer for sale like undertale or
something like oh that looks like something are you
saying this is the next undertale
the furthest thing from what I am saying
but oh my god it's
the next undertale quote
from woolly madden that's not
even remotely put it in the next trailer
I will say that the the art
style to this game omori looks pretty fun
and it looks like it's going to be an interesting
thing um that's
a bold claim the next undertale
yeah it's a it's funnier
to me the more of a lie it is
I'm sorry whoa
I was watching the trailer
and like the the first person battle
scenes go into this weird paper
mache yeah
way different art style than the
overworld this is genuinely a lot more
impressive than I was expecting it's rather
interesting and I hadn't heard of it up until
this moment this could be
the next undertale you're right can you stop
saying that the box
I'm what it looks
okay super bunny hop
can we just can we just get that in
sticker form with your face next to it we just
slapped that on anything piece of merchandise
just a picture
of that same face with it's okay
underneath it what what is the
mediocre equivalent of a gold
star because that's what it should be
it's a bad gold star that says you
tried oh just a black
featureless circle
it's okay I guess
it came out
don't let the existential dread set in bunny
don't let it set in
don't let it set in
good advice vacuum the carpet someone older
than me
um yeah so keep an eye out for this
looks pretty dope and uh cheers
to them that's cool
rpg maker man that things uh
people are using it
still it's going places
it's a viable platform yeah I
the updates that I
keep hearing about the newest versions of it
make it less and less like rpg maker
and more and more like unity well the
the thing rpg maker always did is like
listen say pat pat you want to make a game
yeah sure
I don't know how to make a game period
I don't know how to do anything well
okay well here's easy tools
can you write yeah I can write
okay then you can probably make a decent game
you can make corpse party for example
right
I can make Lisa
corpse party was made in rpg maker
I didn't even know that yeah
um and it's like
and now but it looks like oh wait
if you know how to make a game you might actually be able
to make a real game
well you might as well
like chances are if you build
something up in rpg maker and then
like it's really really impressive you're
going to hit a point where you're like I want to do
more and I might as well just bring this
to another platform where I can
you know um but
it's quite a call out real game developers
use unity game game developers
I know yeah no but it but it definitely
is like oh this is so much fun
this new lying technology
it's so much fun
there they've been stepping it up and
like eventually
I imagine you hit a point where you're like no
actually you can just safely
use this framework and then add and build
on top of it I mean like Lisa
the joyful and the painful were built in rpg
maker really those do not
those don't all because
rpg maker in my mind has a very
specific style it's just tile based
but tiles can mean 2d
or or 2d 2d or 2d
but I mean they can mean top down or
side view you know what I mean like you can do different things
with it these are more respite seem good I just
kind of wish the camera was zoomed in further
so that you can appreciate it a little bit more
yeah I agree I agree
um yeah man
and uh and Lisa had like
a closer tighter perspective
that really hid how
how rpg maker it might have looked
if they zoomed out
yeah also making it
side view like you wouldn't it kind of
you know made you think a little bit
it looks more like Mario 2 than anything
else that yeah and you and you you wouldn't
immediately think that game is dope because
I'm in it yeah
but once you see anything that looks like
um you know Zelda or Dragon Quest
overworld so you gotta go like oh yeah
that's an rpg maker there or whatever
uh so I guess
place your bets because
uh we've got
we've got the the other fresh
news coming in that it's soon out is going
to announce a new game
in 2017 and
he's gearing up he's
preparing himself he says in his tweet
and we don't know what that could be
um so
my favorite thing about this article
so biased
every website every website has
a picture of Dante every website has a picture
of Dante or has like
something like like I think the destructoid article
was called was called like uh devil
may cry director
says I have a new game coming
out in this year and I'm
like he's also the rival schools
guy he's also the dragon stockman guy
he's also the uh
scarred star gladiator guy
you know what I mean there's a million
cap on properties it could be but what is
clear from this is like
boy is the thirst for
classic devil may cry strong
never been stronger you know DMC
did nothing to to water that
down it only made people want it more
actually which is super weird
I'm surprised that like the glut of platinum
games coming out again and again
every year hasn't
people like Dante and people
specifically like the
because platinum
this is okay platinum follows
like camea's style
of character action pretty
rigidly like the movement
and stuff like that and you can
see a very straight line
from like devil may cry one to like bayonetta
even in the games he doesn't touch right
and even in like revengeance which he
I don't think he worked on there's a bunch of them he didn't touch
but whereas DMC
three to DMC four
you see a very straight line
of it's soon oh isms
and it's soon oh is less about movement
and he's less about
I guess flow
and more about I'm going to give
your character so many god damn
moves
they're gonna have so many moves
and you're gonna do them all you're gonna be spoiled
for choice and that's gonna
will be where you're and
like DMC four is a combo
machine it's it's a fucking
combo video
fucking source filmmaker
and I can understand
why people are desperate for that
yeah no I think
like hot style switching was
one of the fucking greatest additions
it was too it's too much for me
greatest I can't handle it all
I'll be honest I always to the idea
of variety like it's
just like not dude now you have
to learn everything okay what you have your own
style you can switch between two weapons
and two guns and then it's like
okay you have your own style but what
if you could switch between
three weapons
okay what if
what if you had three weapons
and three guns
but you could also switch between those
styles at any time you know back when
the game told you that you were smoking six
stylish yeah it lied you weren't
not a not until you're using I still
remember playing DMC for right at the beginning
and I got one of the moves that is
back forward
with Nero and
my brain just went oh there's so many more
moves
fill out fill out the
move list chart so great
of where the inputs are gonna be
yeah fill it all out I guess I guess the
way that I I guess the way that I would put it
is that your platinum
action game
focuses more on free movement
and flow and while a lock on
is certainly appreciated
the games are designed so that it is
unnecessary right
Bayo, Bayo 2, Revengeance
etc you can very easily
play without lock on
at all right I don't use lock on
soft lock yeah you need a soft lock
absolutely you kind of hold in when you press
the button right for your stingers
and whatnot right but with your double
may cry classic style no you
need that lock because you are going to be hitting
buttons and you are going to be comboing
that fuck to death
now when it comes
to it's you know making an announcement I gotta
say that
as much as my soul
thirsts for DMC5
the fact that we've gotten
games like Bayo and Revengeance
and such like as like it slakes
franchises that also
do the thing yeah it makes
me a bit more exact a little bit more
sated in that regard and it makes me want
games that we wouldn't get otherwise
from him no shut up
I want double may cry 5 but I want
project justice more
I want rival schools more
I you know what I mean
you go back to his list of games
that he's worked on he's directed
and like there's other franchises back in
that list that I want to see
ripped back okay well I think I love
dragon's dogma more than you love rival
schools and we can save that argument
for later I will
fight you okay
if you question my life I
bet I bet I put more time in
dragon's dogma than you ever put in a rival
school
I mean it's
a fighting because I love it more
but it was a fighting game in regular
rotation for me for a while
at least three years
but with me and my friends playing it
like at lunch regardless I have
deep deep felt love for
dogma and I have not quite
as intense but similar love for rival
school director and co-director
of the two power stone games
yeah power stone is
his jam we fucking
auto modelista is his jam so here
here's here's it but but
okay if it
was just down to the games right I
would honestly say that rival schools are
I knew like dragon's dogma 2 or double
may cry 5 but awesome all pretty equal
spots in my mind I'd be thrilled
for all of those but dragons dogma is
not dead no
and it doesn't feel dead it doesn't
because the so it would just be a new
release in the dragon's dogma franchise
whereas rival schools would be a resurrection
right no but here that trumps it let me
let me finish here let me finish
where I think if it were
talking about like it's not dmc 5
right I would rather be rival schools
than dogma because because of the
reasons you're stating that I'm straight
but unlike
a rival schools which is dead
double may cry isn't dead
instead it stinks
it has a stink on it
and it's important to me
that we get back to where that
series needs to be
before it takes another break
right
because the currently available most
recent new game
is dmc
double may cry and that
irks me every day
that bothers me
that sucks
what was it what was there
and he was supervising director
of that game
he was in supervise
they called him in to look at a thing
he saved a bunch of that game
what did they
announce or have where there was
like a thing where they're basically implying
that they were going to like drop that world behind
and go back to the world to find
there was an interview with it's you know
about a year ago and I don't remember
specific quotes but I'm not
I'm remembering something but it was
very
very heavily implied that like
oh no we very much
understand people's desire for
classic Dante to come back and that was
the point where I went good and I was like
and they're not they're not doubling down
it was very widely
understood that the next
game in this series when it eventually
comes out because it's calf calm it will
eventually happen will not
be continuing that trend that they will
go back to and the moment
we covered that news on the podcast was
when I didn't have the fear of
another DMC
coming out and I was fine yeah because the whole
plan originally was like okay
that might cry is very
successful but I bet we
could westernize it and
edgy it up and make it be
a call of duty and they did that
and it's the worst selling game in the franchise
and then they're like oh
and then people that were like
maybe we should listen to all those crazy people
screaming at us the whole time
that this would have been a failure and then
they fixed the gameplay and it was not
an objective failure it still sold a couple million
and then they fixed the gameplay and
the release on ps4 and
Xbox one I think is
I think it is but unfortunately
on pc that is a much better
game it is fantastic in fact
and much better that's a good
game yes and so now the problem
is entirely with the cosmetic dino
and that world
so now the problem remain is only
in just the looks
and like the reboot world and has nothing
to do with the gameplay anymore yeah
I can't stand that reboot world
I gave it a shot and I couldn't stand it every
step of the way yeah well you know so
like I don't feel the need to clean
that stench off as you say it needs to be cleaned up
because knowing that they fixed
the gameplay and it was just left in a state of like
well now it's just this character and we
know that you're not going to see all right so here it is
guys give me doesn't want to play
the virtual standalone game no I
I want I want bats you
and I want Kyosuke and I want
Daigo and all the boys I want
Hinata I want Tiffany come on
you want you want them all
Natsu let's go
you want that
not a shoma not
not not a shoma not as bad
as I want to do is ensure you can
real impact with some gauntlets
and DT to fuck up
the damage
Bayo did some good shit
and Nier's about
to do some good shit I know
so I feel okay with that
type of gameplay I want to see
I have been waiting
a long time to see what Nero does
after that game yeah yeah like
that's what it is it just comes down to the actual
it's not the gameplay
it's the like the events
and the characters that we like from the Devil May Cry World
they actually set up some like
cool places to go and I was like
oh cool but I I really
really like I can
put that aside in a world where we didn't have
the platinum alternatives I would be
I'd be champion oh yeah I know but because
we do I want justice you
and I want justice you more than anything else so
it's you know like
onigai shimasu
oh look at this please
please the weebcast now with woolly and
George I don't know do you
do you fall anywhere on that George
on the on the weeb scale
on the on this on the
what you want from his his
games to
come back scale
as long as it's good
auto modelista confirmed got it okay is
auto modelista good I've
it looks really nice
way too much sliding going on
it's one of those games that wants you to drift
instead of drive normally
yeah Capcom tried they tried
um
you know who else tried
uh huh steam
steam tried valve I don't think I don't
think that's true they tried we're tried
recently but uh yeah
at the end they
lost they tried and they failed
because
the people of criminal
town took it to
them and decided that
in the end they have to pay up
three million dollar reduced
for for violating
Australia's consumer laws
oh no not dollar reduced
yeah and it's well
the funny thing about that or not funny but
the nuts thing about that is the originally
that was going to be a way more
those are way cheaper
lawsuit
that it blew up to
three million Australian dollars
from a couple hundred
thousands initially
basically what ended up happening
was uh yeah George you were right
there was a case where a couple years
ago um the Australian competition
consumer commission basically
accused valve of like
the fact that they didn't offer refunds
for their for games for like
any potential like
problems that the user would have
violated Australia's consumer
rights and
deal with Europe which was yeah a case they lost
pretty much everywhere yeah initiative
for them to implement this feature was them
violating the
rules and regulations of international
marketplaces
um yeah and and so
you know the idea was just that like people need to
be able to return products they're unhappy
with the end so or straight up defective
products three million Australian
dollar reduced is equal to
uh two hundred
and two point one five
million one five million freedom feel
fun bucks which
I I don't know
the like shit lining on the end of this news
is that's probably a drop in the
bucket
even their monthly budgets
um and the other parties of it is that
like they actually is a cut
off point where uh
they did it when they did incorporate all the
the return policy um back
in 2014 I believe it was
uh they
you know that that was the time period that like this
lawsuit ends at but um
yeah it just kind of like
goes around and like yeah this is happening
internationally where like the right around the world
anywhere you could where you couldn't return the product
and you violated this uh a digital
product is now like not being
confused or like having any laws
uh
there aren't any any laws prescribed to it that are
being treated differently from brick and mortar stores
so uh George I understand
you you being bummed out it's like if you
if you do bads with your business you should
get slapped with a hefty fine
but it's not as doom and gloom
as it seems because these kinds of fines
do in fact change we saw it change
behavior right and I believe the reason
I'm not a lawyer or an economist
or a government person wait do you
think I think it's a bad
thing that they're being whipped into
providing a better consumer
no no no no no no no you
you lamented that
uh that the fine was not
substantial right right right but
the main the way that I understand
it is that the reason why even this
on its surface
somewhat insubstantial fine
still works is because
the longer you
if you are found to have done this
and you keep doing it
that fine just starts to
stack in and on top of itself
until you stop good and
that becomes part of operating costs
it's it's an exponential status effect
yeah and so they
they and that's when they look at it and they go
okay which is
cheaper paying
x million dollars of fines to
these six or seven countries
or implementing a refund
feature and they go it's probably
going to be a lot cheaper to implement
the refund feature and we get to
be like yay look everyone we're so great
we put in a refund and it ends up
working out it's either that or
it's like
okay guys these are digital
this is digital property like how long
can we run this on its own rules
before it catches up
it's catching up now
fine no you gotta
time to switch before
it's everybody everywhere
and then we look forward thinking
well for an American
it's like really depressing
seeing initiatives in
Australian and European markets
determine how American
digital marketplaces act
well that's because all digital marketplaces
are like kind of inherently
non-national but not over
there they're not apparently
yeah and then you know like I said
they had a good run and then
the cops came and knocking well I guess
the term I would use was super national
in that they exist in all nations
simultaneously and are beholden to all nations
laws simultaneously I mean when we get
like cheaped off to the
the freighters
to work on mining alien eggs
it's probably going to be the valve super corp
that pays us in company shares
oh that's that'd be nice
is that is that not good
yeah I was making a metaphor
for the the aliens franchise
and the horrible
but would you would you not well I mean
they're probably gonna be really successful those company shares
are probably worth quite a bit
but but the whole like
theming and then misery of the first movie
is that these people are like out there doing kind of
shitty industrial jobs
they're dying you know
well there's no avoiding that I mean
did you guys see the 40% off sales
on the Weyland-Yutani store
get in there guys it would do
they get paid in Weyland-Yutani fun box
they get paid in company
script
oh man
it's just like a
one off conversation
slid into their like post
cryogenic wake up breakfast
that you would not otherwise notice
like in viewing I was like oh
this is a really depressing economic situation
these guys are in
and then you get to see the full like
refund
exercised and well like system with things like
no man's guide what not where it like
the the
they're like they're basically like the
announcement that you can get you can fully refund
your digital games immediately then
gets stretched to the maximum
when like controversies like that come down
it's kind of nuts
I love I love the refund system
it's digital digital's now the same as
I always I always it's better
it's better it's way better
you cannot return an open fucking game to
eb games yeah they they assume you
right depends on where you're returning it to
some places are like that but that's also
because when you buy a console game there's little
to no chance that it will not run in your
system
like you you we've bought steam games
that we pulled up and then within one
second it crashes to desktop and we're
never able to get it to run I've never had a
console game do that
I actually haven't had that happen to me
you don't buy enough shitty steam games
but I that
but it has happened for things we've had
to LP where everybody's fucking sit
there and and work it like Omicron and
yeah
that's the anyway
thank you George you're welcome
no crap I shouldn't have said refund
oh crap I shouldn't have said digital
it's too hot today
I just I just it makes me so
I bought more steam games as a result
of that refund as as really
that is influence your purchasing power
significantly more interesting
well because now I don't have to worry
if I hate it or it runs like shit
I can just return it
hmm and is there
ever a thing that like
we're like because you have to submit
your refund and then it gets accepted
yes and I've never seen it not get
accepted I've never seen it not get
accepted either so for here's a good example
right but there is some kind of criteria
we played stardust vanguards for fisticuffs
right and that games awesome yes
I bought on steam hard locks
my PC every time I turn it on
they like needs a full reboot that sucks
that's extreme
I don't and it was a rare bug too
like it was not common I did not find
any other but for some reason
just freaks out
got a refund went and bought it on the
PlayStation store there you go and
fine right
everybody wins they still get a sale
I get a version that works no hard
feelings like cuz think think about
how I would have felt about that developer going forward
if I had bought their game and it fucking
wrecks my PC every time I try and turn it on
right right I would be much less likely
to buy their next game but now it's fine
it's fine everything's fine
I'm okay I'm ambulance outside
ambulance outside there might be an ambulance
outside oh man I hope that person's dead
Jesus Christ man could have been you
going for your energy drinks
slipping because there's a hole in your socks
and you're not wearing George socks hey man
I'm allowed to have holes in my socks I'm an adult man
don't are no one's got holes in your
George socks though yeah no one will try to
well the hole in your George sock is
where you put the dick and right underneath
George's face avoiding the warranty we will
avoid your warranty you fuck you want
people to put their dicks in the holes in your socks
is that where no in George's George socks
no I was specifically pleading
people not to yeah
people are gonna start fucking your feet patch too late
now that's what you how do you even do that
ah there's websites
people have figured it out
websites yeah it's a whole system
I just saw a big bolt of lightning
so if I like suddenly
drop out I
apologize
I don't want to carry the podcast with just
you and me woolly you want to talk about almost fountain
oh boy I don't
so uh
wait what's up what's what almost fountain
oh almost fountain
I bought my cat Elmo a fountain
that he can drink out it has two spigots
I thought you were talking about video games
and it's like a it's like
it's like a little waterfall for cats
oh and um
so and he really likes it
cause he's a good kitty
so we've got news coming in
that he likes running water
in the toilet trauma center
trauma center
apparently trauma team
excuse me uh
they was a there was a live action
get my fucking microphone back
thank you there was a live action
tv show that tried
to try to pull this
off and uh
is that isn't that just er
isn't that just er pretty much just turned
into er slash grace anatomy
um
doesn't graze an anatomy have like a ton
of sex uh yeah and like
when I clicked play and got past
the trailer to the trauma team pilot the
first thing that was in the episode was
a bunch of doctors having a bunch of sex
before putting their scrubs on and saving lives
well that's graze that's a trauma that we
need a team so
so I'm just like is this at all
like what why would you
just why would you even go for the name trauma
team in making this why not just
trauma team make it a generic doctor
feel good anime
that's it
very weird
no pornography in my trauma team
no very weird that they would choose to do
this and I don't know have you seen any
of this George you caught it I skipped through
it didn't okay like
it's just the strangest pick
to go with you could have just
made it a generic thing but I guess like
maybe like someone really going into it
um is it
is it because like I really
didn't get that far in
skip to like 10 minutes
and and they start pulling
guts out of people guts out of
people wow okay well either
way that shit failed super hard
and like yeah super first
thing that happens is everyone making out super hard
because that's what you know that's what gets the kids
watching is this real
it's a real trauma team
show that never happened yeah
oh yeah look this is all that sucks
all that sex happening
all doctors are all
well off and attractive so yeah
and we're throwing a link up in the in the docket
where you can you can watch the full 20
minute episode if you feel like it on you there's the part
where they're pulling the guts out the guts get
pulled out I don't know I saw a little bit of guts
there
10 minutes in literally hope I'm watching
the right thing because I kind of can't believe what I'm
I saw some guts there for a second
there might have been some good when when are when
when are you gonna use the fucking power of a
scleepiest to stop time
and come and do surgery yeah
that's what trauma teams about
I mean there's there I'm looking at
some like go to like 10 11 minutes
yeah we're saying we're just saying
stuff but it's not it's like
it's some guts they're they got some
meat from the the butcher and then they fucking
and close up the camera on it
for like 30 second long shots that's good
that's delicious looking yeah
so when does black she a show up
never okay just checking
she's she may or may not be black she may
just be extremely tan tan's weird
about they are they they're not certain
which way they want to go with that
very uncertain and I would love if they made
up their mind is ganguro black
face I know it's not
it's not it's not it's more like like
California Valley girl face
it's a whole other thing
and it's it's it's become
an entire like subculture of its own it's not
blackface I know I would know I'm the expert
you would know you are the expert
and
and like not washing your panties has
nothing to do with
blackface
so well that one flew right over my head
that's right you just I guess
part of ganguro culture oh
is all yeah there's the there's the
extremes of like where you just being as dirty as possible
great and like just not washing
your panties that's great as part of it
super the
accessories and just yeah look
hey hey hey she's having
her period hey oh
you can see it
right there that's part of ganguro culture as well
that's pretty kind of nuts
pretty kind of nuts
okay what's next please
um never got
though I'm not to mention the like you don't like
the whole like white lip and white like boy
I sure do like trauma team yeah
the white eyeliner thing is that that's not
uh yeah I don't know hey
did you guys hear
um
uh
what about frog fractions too we doing frog
fractions too ah don't worry
about that let's talk about
let's talk about the fact that
the switch might
have a non-removable battery
that sucks
I don't
know why
considering we just came off
of a world where
that wasn't the case here's why
the 3ds does not have a
a removable battery
that's the logic
so you can buy it
this was a problem though
well it's more just like you can upgrade you can get better batteries
when you can put them in yourself
to deal with like
more importantly you can get
newer batteries when your old battery gets
all fucked up because you play it
too much
George are you okay
no I'm just like still thinking about like
gross panties
yeah that's fine you're you're enamored
you're obsessed we can move on to robot
buttholes if you'd like yeah that's a photo
shop people told me on twitter is it
yeah wow
we all got played
the world got
played super hard
because it seems you're confirmed
for not having a butthole okay
okay okay
I mean it's weird enough that she's
wearing underwear
in the world in a world where like
fucking uh what you're gonna call it
just happened watch dogs too
the idea that I'm willing to believe this
yeah because basically to catch everyone up
here there was a screenshot going around like
this is not a drill near automata has
buttholes in it and there's like a fucking
a like a booty shot
with like it's way in there it's
in there and you're like really
but it's also like subtle enough
that it's not the
butthole itself it's like
the slightly darker
stain around it yeah no it's the
it's the the zandroids needs to
bleach it's something that could technically
get through the
the sero sensors
the implication of a butthole
was there and apparently
that was totally fault yeah
alright we got played and you know what
like yeah
fuck you for not double checking sources on that
so
that's us being gullible
and yeah
I mean again like in
a watch dogs 2 world why would you
why would you do that it just doesn't make any
sense because I wanted to see the
butthole said some artist
but but I think we do have to clarify like
unlike the watch dogs 2
like spread eagle lovingly
rendered textured vagina
this is just like a slight
brownish stain around the characters
underwear yeah it's kind of like
the implication of the butthole not
maybe she did a doo doo it's
exactly it's kind of like if a character
had like she's
she's an android man
that's okay
back up when we're talking
about robotic buttholes
the implication that the robot
did a doo doo is not
out of this fucking clean world
that is a legitimate question
did the robot do the
poo poo chances are it didn't because
usually that's an inefficient way to
why do androids in the near universe
wear like
underwear and just wear in general
I think that's going to be
actually explained in the plot I believe
that the way they're dressed will have a really
good explanation for it I totally
even if it's as simple as the designer
was like I like when they run around
and their butts are all out all over
I bet you Yoko Taro's got an answer for that
are you sure it's not explained in one of the 10
novellas or the stage perhaps
perhaps you know like
I was going to say like it'd be the equivalent of if like
the robot had 10 lines on it
type of thing or the robot had the V
thing well they usually
do yeah that's not actually
I think two of the robots do have the V
thing
damn it so
you got to work out the summer pad you draw
those on I
I mean no one can stop you for I draw
on some abs you can draw some abs on
and put the V thing right at the bottom
drawing is actually having it
yeah but that
drawing it is so much better
you'll feel so much more proud of yourself
if you
no George the most
pride you can feel is not
by accomplishing a task but by
not accomplishing a task
but tricking everyone into making you then
think that you accomplished it
that's why stealth games are more fun than action games
success is not as valuable
as the appearance of success through trickery
bunny hopping through a map is less satisfying
than sneaking through
and no one even knowing it
exactly kind of like
we're sneaking through this podcast and no one even knows it
are we talking about frog factions yet
no
no like
to be honest I would rather not
you want to talk about glitter mint and grove for a bit
okay that's a really good
fairy simulator and that's all
like we got to say about it up until now
you know what my favorite part about that
video we put up about glitter mint and grove is
yeah it's just like nearly a half
an hour of us playing that game that's about
right before the thing
but and and a lot of folks
are still super confused but I even play
got got you see that yeah I know but
but but then people who do know are like
yeah but you guys are idiots that got got yourselves
because you didn't figure the thing out yeah well
that's life and that is how that goes but
I am an idiot no but George
I yeah I actually like for the sake
of like spoilers I'd rather stay cold
to be honest
but yeah
there's things out there for
people who like to
inquire and do some digging and research
and we'll leave it there shall we
it's kind of impossible not to know now
if you kind of been reading news
because lots of news websites have been reporting that
it's out there somewhere
and such but
the what's and where's and how
yeah but can you really trust the news the news is what told me
that there was a pothole in your automata
well that was
the more I look at it like I don't see any
real news websites reporting on this
butthole
yeah that was a tweet they were too scared
that tweet hit like one or two
it wasn't like verifiable
no it was a stupid random retweet
and then that suddenly just became a big
you can't verify that butthole
you can play the game
and pan the camera up her butt yourself
to verify it you can literally do it
we could have done it we could have done it
we could have broken the news but instead you showed me your phone
I was gonna try to do it but then
your phone was a lie a couple friends showed up
in the apartment so I was just like oh I gotta play the game
for real now and not pan the camera up her butthole
yeah
or not so I'm gonna go ahead
and assume that neither of you
has an opinion about
the changes to
the EG lineup
in fighting games
or the what yeah
Evil Geniuses has changed their lineup and has
gotten you
tell me who left and tell me who got on
Justin Wong left
where are they going
wherever
Justin Wong's business manager
is now Mark Mann
and Eduardo
left
and PPMD
is returning
and yeah that's
actually quite the turnover
I mean to me
is that like
J-Wong's been with EG for so long that there's a lot of people that
probably never knew of J-Wong
not being with them at this point
so I was just like yeah that might be
like notable to someone out there
is he going to the fighting game graveyard
where the old fighting game players lay down
and die no actually
like I said Mark Mann is gonna be his business
manager and
Mark Mann is apparently gonna be
the guy that's the go between between
for whatever gets him paid
and whatever gets Justin paid
and whatever he wins
he does not currently work for Madcats anymore right
Chris G
also got picked up by EG
and that was
oh good so EG can just lose all its credibility
well no because remember
that Marvel Eye is coming out and
you heard me
anyway Marvel vs Capcom Infinite
is coming out that's a smart get
right on the cusp of
we can have people throw their matches at new tournaments
well we can assume
he's learned his lesson from now I don't care
he should have been banned for life well
I think he's a good player
he is and he should have been banned
for life as an example
well that's that's I believe
in the you demonstrated
you've demonstrated your wrong opinion
I believe that when you make a big
a big bad you should be lined up against
the wall and shot
or it's equivalent
um yeah
what I definitely think
not literally shot bunny
I think collusion should be punished
figuratively shot
you can collude in the busted
ghetto tournaments because you're not allowed
to get into the real ones anymore ever
I think collusion should super be punished
and I also think that Chris G
is a player who I want to see play these games
cause he's fucking
I would say that it would be fine
for him to come back if they
brand the phrase colluder
onto his forehead with a hot iron
geez man
oh god
so he has to wear the mark till the end of his day
yeah but you know what the other problem is
is like how many people collude and just never got caught
fine you know
so like you know what you need right
you get the example made of the guy who got caught
but then there's tons of people who are in the top
well you know what you need right
you need snitches
and you don't have as many snitches as you want
there needs to be
a fund started by Capcom
purely to
fund snitching
if you snitch on people in the FGC
you get like a thousand
dollars
you would collude so hard
you would collude so hard
me? you would do it
I would do it I would watch you do it
and you would fucking take it and you'd love it
you'd love it and you'd hate anybody
that snitched on you because you're a piece of shit
yeah and then
when I got caught I would be like
ah you caught me I'm going to
leave you to your game forever
because you caught me
and now it is over
I would be honorable in my cheating
to step down forever? yes
I wonder what's important is that if you're
gonna cheat to take the honorable cheating route
and when you get caught to quit or kill yourself
jeez
figuratively
figuratively
kill your tournament career
I think
definitely taking some kinds of actions
and punishing the person for doing that at the tournament
at possibly the remaining
events that are
associated with that and such
I think it makes sense as well
how about this? but I think the idea
of like you can't play this game
ever on a stream anywhere is like okay well
really? well here's the thing
well here's the thing
if you were a baseball player and you got caught
gambling on your own matches
what do you think happens to you?
do you think you still get to play baseball?
you get kicked out of the MLB
you don't get shot
oh no I'm not really
not literally god damn it
it's figure speech
or if you get caught pumping drugs
you get your medals taken away in the Olympics
but you get banned for a number of seasons
and then you come back
after a number of seasons
and if you fucking beat your wife or whatever
you play next game
but are we still talking about baseball
or are we talking about football?
we're talking about all sports
yeah I know it flips around
but you know
there's a duration
Michael Vick came back
after playing Pokemon in his
that's not okay
in his front yard
and a bunch of people
are like yo that dude
is running the best
numbers of his career
post pokemon
here's what they should do
if you get caught colluding
or cheating in a fighting game tournament
you can come back right away
but only if you have to return
all the winnings you ever won
in your entire tournament career
because they're all invalidated
that seems reasonable
you should have every win invalidated
and they should go to your house
and take your trophies
and fucking kick your dog
do this then then they Michael Vick it
yeah okay
I don't like cheaters that aren't me
Wally what is this
no it's not confusing at all
it's very understandable
I say let our capa decide your fate
and then we figure it out from there
oh man I don't know about that
man hey listen listen listen listen
I may have some crazy ideas
let's not say anything we can't take back here
do you believe in the phantom hearts
in the phantom theme of hearts
rather
do you believe
you're fucking talking about kingdom hearts now
no
no
I'm talking about shit that you're supposed to care about
yeah I know
I actually watched the intro to that last time
did you go in and watch persona
because I've been
properly avoiding everything
there is a video out there
that I put out and then some nice fans
subtitled called the first 18 minutes
of persona 4, persona 5
and it's the
the hard prologue
that ends as pretty much as soon as
you put your name in and the opening cutscene
finishes and the title card
comes up and
oh
oh boy
oh boy
oh yeah that's gonna be
a good game
oh okay
so
I don't know if you caught this at all George
but randomly
yesterday or the day before
yeah it was on the 31st
Atlas tweeted out
do you believe in the phantom thieves of hearts
with one of three choices being
I do believe
I don't believe and my heart has been
stolen
alright that's
very poetic of them
the answers one and three are tied
and it's very
unclear as to why this is being asked
especially considering the game is already out in Japan
they're building big hypes
but we don't know
it's a ploy for the anime series
the hype should be directed at us
because we haven't seen it yet
we're still hype
April 4th
they're gonna push that back by six more months aren't they
and I'll be okay with it
because it's still gonna be as amazing as it is
bullshit because at that point it's like
no now they're just doing it to fuck with us the game's done
well no they're probably getting the voices right
I don't care now you do
the game's gonna come out with Japanese voices
yep that means I don't care
because if they get if the voices suck
I can just change them
but they're probably not gonna because they're usually really good
I would rather they release it today
with no English
no I wouldn't I would like the English
because of how much I liked
the voice acting in the previous games
to the point where
it stands out as an example
to me of fantastic voice acting
that you usually don't get in English games
so I would it would be such a shame to miss it
in the same way that like
Liam pointed out that Nir has impeccable voice acting
it sure does
it would be a shame for a thing that's known as a staple
of fantastic dubbing
to not have that
have they talked about if the western release of Yakuza Kiwami
is gonna be in English or Japanese
it will assuredly be in Japanese
those games stopped coming out in English
after Yakuza 1
yeah but it's a remake of Yakuza 1
yes
so they might still have the script
or lying around the offices
yeah but do they have the rights to get
Michael Madsen and Mark Hamill
and all those guys back no way
that voice acting
job they did on Yakuza 1 was
expensive and that's why it was such a disaster
when that game flopped
that game will assuredly be in Japanese
also the limited audience that buys
those games don't want English voice acting
I don't want English voice acting in my
Yakuza simulator
there's a line in the beginning though that is hilarious
and makes it worthwhile
oh what is it who wants to stand up
who wants to step up and get fucked up or something like that
if I'm an asshole you're a piece
of shit
yeah that's good
yeah but anyway
but in English
you don't get
you get Mark Hamill going oh
Kazuma Chan
but in Japanese
you get that really shrill guy going
oh kid
like that guy
and I actually like that guy
that's one thing I noticed in Japan
is that there's this really nasally shrill voice
that you don't really
hear in a lot of other places
I can talk like that when I get upset sometimes
but not like on the street when you're trying
to wave people into your store
I
I
you know
we talked about it I think a little bit
last week about how we are in a world
where we're playing The Last Guardian
in Final Fantasy 15
back to back I'm switching off
and
I'm you know we've every time
something has come up in like whenever we're doing a Let's Watch
or something like I'm more and more
just becoming I'm extremely
patient with game releases for things I'm excited
about you very much are like
I know it's gonna be good
I know there's no shortage of amazing
games out right now
I'm okay with you taking your time especially
when a year ago or even before
that like it's like how long have we been waiting
for persona I wasn't fully experiencing the
full weight because I caught up in the middle
of the weight and they give me let me check
right but like not even counting
like a drop in the middle like Catherine or
something to be like hey is a little taste of something
like how long was the weight
from P4 to now
okay I give golden
give golden I beat
persona 4 came out in July
of 2008
I beat that game in the summer of 2009
yeah it has been
since the winter of 2009
that I have been waiting for
P5 what's a couple more that was
to me you know years ago
it's so incredibly long
that it's like what's a couple more months
a couple more months at that point
I finish the thing
whatever it needs to be instead of having
something come out that we complain about for years
well here's the thing I agree with you
entirely with one exception
and that is the mighty number nine problem
of we are delaying the game to add a feature
that you don't care about
I would be just as happy with
just what Japanese voice acting
I don't care
and so the fact that it's being
I know it's being delayed for general
localization not just
the voice acting but if it were to be
delayed specifically for the voice acting
that would make me crazy because I don't care
give it to me now
yeah you know and I get
the larger thing of like no it's a better
overall product for everybody you know I get that
yeah but for me that
you know that's just this little
scratch it's like you know it's like
Bloodborne think if they said
if they came out oh you know Bloodborne took like
four or five months more in the oven
so we could get the chalice dungeons just
right yeah
yeah fuck
although on that note that reminds me of
that super like
not a real thing rumor that
popped up where like
out of nowhere some unsourced thing was like
there's rumors that Miyazaki's next project
is working with Mira and then everything
got deleted and then everybody
came out and was like no
prove it and was big sad
and then it was and then now every trace of it
deleted and gone so uh yeah we heard about
those and I don't think they're real
so anyway I used to be
a lot more impatient than I am now
but as I've gotten older
and I play more I play
I found that as I got older like
so Matt and I have like I've talked about this
before we have completely diverged in paths
from games or our habits
used to be relatively similar but now
he gets he gets more and more frustrated
if he can't get through a game
within a month right he feels like that's
a waste of time because he wants to play a wide
variety of stuff yeah whereas I have
doubled down on playing like
eight games a year
but they're all
really fucking long
and one of them is an MMO
so I've
for me it's like there's gonna be
one long one and that's gonna be
around for a long time so you my MMO is
your street fighter and then I'm gonna have
to pepper my schedule with the rest
as I can you know but
and occasionally you just shut everything
down for like a commitment but how about
you buddy how's it how have you found it
as it gone because it's getting out of control
it's really stressing me out I think I got
like a lot of weird
like frustrating receptions
to me reviewing short little indie games
that I think I like way better
than long lasting big triple
A games because that's what I'm doing right now
I'm playing like Fury and Stardew Valley
like quick Stardew Valley
is a game for nerds okay it's really good
but this is stuff I like neglected earlier
because I didn't think it would be good review material
and now I really wish I had because they're way better games
than the games I played this year which were like
I have Watch Dogs 2
which was like okay too good
but um still like
not really tickling me in the
little sensitive spot well honestly
more than that George you should be focusing
on those indie game reviews because
like there are
going to be enough reviews of Watch Dogs 2
but certainly right
we'll get 217,615
views
well
then sell your soul you fucking ass
I did that this year I don't want to sell
my soul again next year
sell it hard you fuck start your minecraft
no it's more fun not selling the soul
like Deus Ex Mankind divided I spent a week
and a half with that and that was like fine
but I just wish I was playing Stardew Valley
instead with that
like I don't know like Doom was good but it just
it's not like
go over and chill your butthole just do it
money will come out
but I have to like
work
shake it
shake it for the people
I played super hot earlier this year
I was having the time of my life
yeah super hot this shit
you gotta play that in VR man
I was like flipping upside down
backside around I was having
having a ball I was just like
squeezing fun out of every orifice
and if you haven't played the VR version
like you don't even know what you're missing
I might soon at magfest
yeah
I hope so
let's move right
into the emails
unless there's anything newsworthy that you
wanted to discuss
wow the world is on fire
yeah it really sounds like our building is on fire
yeah that's great
it's currently
you know
we're in frost walrus stage
outside and people are slipping
and dying so we have to
like shovel their remains
off of the sidewalks
hey did you guys hear that Ariana Grande
is gonna be in final who gives a fuck
stupid pop music
yeah your band sucks
I said the band you like sucks
the docket was done so
again unless Bunny wanted to
we talked about frog fractions too
for a little bit
because I don't like I know there's more to it
and I just want to
I want it fresh
hey woolly that leaked list of characters
for Marvel
well I was like
that could be possible
it's not that the list is not believable
it's that I don't believe that
right up until max says I know for a fact
that one of those names isn't true
and I was like
max seems like the kind of guy that would know a thing
or two
that's kind of like
just like with the announcement of the game itself
it's like wait for a couple of
notable FGC heads
to kind of be like
yo we don't give a fuck
wait for a Marlin Pie to just be like
uh
jeez jeez I don't care jeans in it
you know
cause like that's usually how that goes
or something similar
you'll be able to confirm
I really wish that the FGC guys are a little more
subtle like you turn into J. Wong
stream and he's like man
I saw new characters
for Marvel's Capcom I'm really excited
and he's just surrounded by
action figures of all the characters
that are going to be in it
that would be so perfect
that's pretty that's not too far from
what people like flow do
and shit like that like they're like I'm not
gonna say nothing now excuse me
while I drink out of my M bison
mug
delicious no like that's that's
pretty close to how it goes anyway
you know I fucking love flow so much
that dance flow G sound is the best
that dance during the
five reveals was a fun time
as things were popping off
and like these people that are in the FGC that are
really really invested in these lists
being real are not gonna fuck around
with them you know
so yeah if you've got questions
and you want to send them in
to the super low energy cast
oh I'm high energy now man
well it's too late
there's a fucking leader
lead red bull
you got that high energy on the way down
from the roller coaster
you can send them where George
to subpar butt bunnies
at hotmail.com
thank you yeah
one more time
um
mildly okay
acquaintances at
Hong fire
oh fuck that's a good
fool I haven't heard that
shit in a while dude
oh man
fucking Hong fire
oh that's good
but the real email super best friend cast at gmail.com
that's super best friend cast
at gmail.com on to the emails
yeah
uh we got
emails
we got one coming in
I don't want one so that we can
verbally make it bad every time
that's much better yeah
oh on to the emails
Josh asks
Derek should we in fact face the solo crew
I woke up on Christmas morning
with my crotch and pink
and I looked out to see a few bups
and I walked into the bathroom mirror
and I see what is pretty
surely herpes all over my
other regions wow
this begins one of the worst
Christmases I've ever had
with terrible breakfast terrible presents
a pretty good dinner an 8 out of 10
but misery adores company
oh yeah what is
the worst thing to happen to you guys during
Christmas the worst thing to happen to me
at Christmas that's a good one
um I've never really had
objectively awful Christmas
I've had lame Christmases where
like very little of the family
shows up and ends up just being like
dinner with my parents you know that kind of thing
yeah everybody's busy
and or out of town
or in another province and it
it just ends up being like dinner with
like your your parents
maybe a few of your siblings and it's
it's no different from any other
get together
yeah uh I think
you know outside of like
like the realizing
that the fun granada Christmas
I had was totally
a fucking cop from my mom
to like guilt us into like
feeling bad about getting Shanghai
that's fucked up that's
you know because that was retroactively like fucked
but it was fun at the time I think
just yeah one of the ones like
you know the kind of the recent years where
we usually have the big gold
black family soul food dinner
thing and um that
because of stupid family squabbles
and drama and people not being able to get along
then we kind of don't have that sometimes
and it's like bomb and
just work your shit out so you can
feed me can you just get along
so that I can eat
so I can eat you know and then and then you can
stop getting along afterwards that's
that'd be great so uh
I do remember one
uh how about you buddy
this didn't happen
during Christmas
or Christmas Eve but the
day before a
ceiling fell on top of me
ooh a whole ceiling
yeah for real
yeah uh so in Atlanta
there was a snap freeze
and whoever was upstairs of
the unit I was hanging out in
did not drip their pipes the day
before thus causing a
horrible leak that eventually
built up into the sheet rock and
flashed cold
ass water and dusty moldy
ass sheet rock all over
me and the couch I was just
taking a nap on
and like Jesus
she got woken up from a nap by an attack
by the ceiling and what that did
was it like instantly
put me because I had to
like help my friend clean this stuff up
into like handyman mode
where we were rushing to find the water shut off
valve to this house and like
crawl into the crawl space in the attic
to find the particular pipe that was
leaking and like
turn it off and it was uh
it really like
soured the mood for the next three days
how long ago was this
about two years ago
oh man that's awesome
uh I do have one
um and it wasn't my
Christmas is ruined but it was my mom's Christmas
ruined and that bummed me out
so my mom
my grandma on my mom's side
makes pretty fantastic
shortbread cookies right
and uh because she's out in
Ontario she would bake these
cookies they they keep forever if you
freeze them right uh
and she would give them like
a month beforehand or whatever right
I forget how long but it was significantly
before Christmas right and she'd give them to my mom
she'd save these for Christmas and share them with the family
right yep and this is
my mom's favorite
food item from her parents
right she kind of thing is like
oh waiting all year until Christmas shortbread cookies
right
my brother found them
immediately after they came
into the house and over a
period of time
ate something like ate all of them
and we're talking like 400
shortbread cookies how long was the period of time
Jesus Christ
uh weeks at least wow
and he just chipped away at them
unbeknownst to everybody
and then my mom goes
okay guys Merry Christmas
you can all have grandma's shortbread cookies
and she opens up a
fucking completely empty
box
and
here's and here's where my brother's
plan failed
my father and I
don't like shortbread cookies
my sister
doesn't particularly care for them
either likes them well enough
but she's not big on sweets
the only two people in the house that really
love the things are my mom
and my brother
so it became
immediately obvious what had happened
and poor mom starts
balling her eyes out because Christmas is
ruined and my brother
is like
looking around for escape
on Christmas morning
and it's like what do you
fucking think was gonna happen
you ate an entire
Christmas tin of these fucking things
what you what you thought that
she wasn't gonna notice that there was zero
he forgot the cookie
oh so
Christmas was very awkward that year
very awkward
how old was your brother
he's four years older than me
so it was a grown ass
wait at the time no no no this was long ago
he was like 12
holy shit a grown ass 12
year old
every story you tell
every story you tell it just
betrays a level of like
it it's so dumb
that it can't just be dumb
it has to be
offset by I don't care
you know like
he cared
he didn't want to get in trouble
every time my brother ever gotten in trouble
we always ask him the same question like
how did you think
what was your course of action
you were obviously
going to get caught it was so obvious
you didn't even plan
an excuse
you had months to come up with an excuse
and you didn't have one
Christmas at risk
just like when you were telling the story I was imagining an 8 year old
doing it
there were tons of cookies in there right
you could have eaten 50 of them
and
you would have gotten away with it
you just like oh I must have
made a mistake and there weren't as many
as I thought there were
all of it
all of it
you know
how many cookies there must have been a 50 wouldn't have been a noticeable amount
when my
when my brother was young very young
and I was like 3 and he was like 7
he came home from playing at the park one day
with a bicycle
and my dad asked him
where did you get that brand new bicycle
and he goes I found it in the trash
and this was like a Sunday
and our trash day was not Sunday
and
I remember even being a small child
of like
that's obviously a lie
that's very like
that's not true
why would you say that
where did he get the bike dad
we'll talk about this later
look man cookies now
consequences later
it's very simple
it's very similar to the thought process
that goes through my head when I think about
should I work now or be lazy now
right and it's like well you know the old expression
you can why
why put off what you can do now and then later
you'll have free time right but if I
if I be lazy right now
I can be lazy right now
free time right now
and I'll just have to work later
the benefits are immediate
why would I put off the benefits
why would I not have the benefits right away
we are getting
well yeah
that being said waking up with the herbs
on the Christmas
yeah that's an all-timer
that's curable
it is not curable
yeah
that's a lifelong pal
shouldn't have put on that mistletoe
belt buckle
oh
to our
listeners out there with the herbs it's not that big
but deal but you can you can stop
the outbreak
you can you can minimize it significantly
it's just there for life is all
now now you're in
now it's look at listen you get it and now you're
playing on a new server
that's all it is
I once
I once had one of those
it might be a less populated server
it might be a bit harder to get your matches going
and your instances might take longer
but hey listen
I once did a bunch of reading
on like every horrible disease that could
happen to your genitals because it was like
hmm what's the how bad can it get
it can get pretty bad but
um the what what got me
is that prior to the invention
of anti herpes cream
herpes was not looked upon
societally like disfavorably
it was just oh you gotta
thing there ah whatever right
but then once the the
first anti herpes medication
got created there was this intense
ad campaign going
man your junk's fucking
disgusting no one's ever
gonna love you buy our cream
yeah yeah yeah and that's how we got
to where we are now where everyone's
terrified of the herpes
yeah
um anyway
don't get the herpes it's disgusting
try not to you know love you buddy
keep fighting the good fight do your best
um
we got one cover with a paper bag
that's all you gotta do
whatever like if I can
there's ways to reduce it
short socks yeah
especially that's the best one proven by science
just put icy hot on it
yeah
don't put icy hot on it that is a joke
don't do it
dear darlington patrick
shorted weebs in the spirit of looking
forward to the new year and leaving behind the shitty one
uh make new york's
resolutions for each other
I don't know
woolly I feel like you'd have a very
easy time coming up with a new year's resolution
for me
there are a lot of things you dislike
about my behavior I think you you could just
go stop doing that
ah
ah
yeah
there's a lot there are
so many to choose from
but which one
hmm
hmm
buddy do you while you think on that
buddy do you have any for us
uh I'm gonna look up and see if
uh how easy it is to make a hog fire
account
um
um
are you still like I know that like
fuck
you have to ask me clarification
for this it makes me really scared
no it's more just like I think
your resolution should be to
start like if you
still require like
taking your shits inside of safes
in order to feel the level
of isolation that you do
okay that you should start
working your way out into
slightly more public
I I will
I will out
myself in a way
that is could directly
contrary
to your thing Wally okay
there have been days
in which I have
woken up and it's a day that you and I
have to work that day or you and Matt
and I or whoever right and it's like oh I
gotta be at the office for two
right I will show up
here as early as noon
because I know no one
will be here and then I will lock
the front door and then I will
lock the front door of the office
and then I will lock the front door
of the bathroom
and then I will I will save
it till then because
three layers of security no one's
in this building
no one's gonna be
in this building no one's
like it's it's more private
than my house if you could get
up to space if you could get up to
the fucking Sputnik
for an extra level of isolation if you
could rid the planet of people
temporarily here's here's how
my mind actually works alright
if you're taking a dump in your
house right yeah
between me on the toilet
and the outside world
you only have to kick down two doors
mm-hmm okay but
in this bathroom in the office
you would have to kick down
three doors therefore
this is a better place to go to
the bathroom if you could
kill the entire population of
earth every time you took a dump yeah
and then resurrect them when you were finished I would do
that every time every time and that's why
I think your resolution should be that
work your way out of the safe
yeah out of the banks vault that
you're currently take your dump
occasionally when I'm at start being
occasionally when I'm at the house and
there's people in the house I
turn all the lights off still
so that I can pretend that it's not
going on it's not happening
and so if anyone does kick down the door
they won't be able to see if you can just
aim your aim your ass into like
a wormhole out of existence
entirely but get a fight this
that's what you're not there
you're only increasing the chances
of people knocking on the door
and finding out you're there
in a more embarrassing way
than if you just put the light on
oh no
that is true you are increasing
the chances of someone just swinging that door
so what I need to do is I need to run the shower
so people think I'm in the shower and they want to walk in
yeah because there's nothing wrong with showering
like pooping and that covers the noise
no because everyone knows what a
shower sounds like when no one's standing
in it and they know exactly what it's
so what I need to do is get a dummy
and put in the shower
get a shadow clone
alright so what I will attempt
I will attempt
to cut down
on the obsessive
isolation during
the bathroom moments
I have one for you Woolly
go to the sleep
doctor
oh that got real
okay I am
sick of you coming
into work and you look like
shit and I go hey what's
up did you sleep bad and you look
at me with this like bemused look on your face
go sleep
right that sucks
and I know that sucks because that was
me last year
okay get your fucking loser
mask and have the shit
pumped in your fucking face like a fucking
dipshit and have a decent night
sleep you fucking ass
wait what's like yeah I had one built
up for this alright the mask
with stupid shit injected
I wear a sleep apnea mask
you gotta turn into bane so that you don't die
in your sleep okay because woolly
and I are the kind of people that when we sleep
we actively choke
and sound like death
it's bad and I got
the sleeping mask and it's been a humongous quality
of life until some stupid
little adorable furry
asshole started to chew
holes in my fucking
tube
I was like why is the air pressure so
elmo you fuck
elmo's gonna murder you
elmo is chewing on my fucking breathing
tube because I'm not awake
and I'm not hugging him enough
and wow that's very adorable
oh that's the cutest little
murder I know I now have to
I'm buying replacement tubes and my current tube
is wrapped with band-aids and tape
to keep the air pressure up
it's fucking stupid I love that
cat I'm gonna get him another fountain
he killed
tried to murder you in the cutest way
it's mad slaughter technically
alright now what do we want to give bunny hop for
can I do you guys
first yeah that's what I was gonna say it's your turn
so yeah let's try to
push back on the black
face angle a bit if
if you please
maybe by the end of next year
we'll have it not be the third google
result when you search for my name
bunny to be fair
as soon as it started to get out of
as soon as I saw
the
Sailor Moon Mami
face on our subreddit
that was the exact
moment when I was like
it was when the actual
images started popping up
there's always
there's always people
far too far and we
immediately stopped and that was months ago
the humor
and the fun of what we do is that it's in the realm
of the imagination
you don't actually go and do it
I don't want fucking
cartoon blackface images
associated with my full name that will
come back on me
sorry George
being a 60 70 year old granddad
and having like the kids come over
for Christmas and hearing about this
wacky youtube channel I ran
when I was younger
and google searching that and that's still
the third result
and they go
grandpa bunny hop
what's a blackface
and you explain to them and they're like what's a black
people and you go well
before the war
cause like
you know blackface minstrel shows
were a thing from
like the 1910s
to the 1930s so my grand
children it's something from before when we
were born and you know how you like kind of group
everything together in history from
before you were born versus after you were born
cause that was the experience they're
not gonna like
they're gonna group the stupid blackface
joke in with like blackface
being a real popular means of entertainment
in the American south as being
the time of history before they were
born
like they're not gonna know
how stupid of a joke it is they're just gonna assume
it was like a slightly less
show them that bit from always sunny
you know the
lethal weapon 4
yeah lethal weapon 5 man come on
close enough
it's funny because
my version of the end of the race war
is not the opposite it's just
everyone becomes that like
cora colored
everybody becomes tan
with a few asian features
and blonde hair
super smart super athletic
and good at
conquering people
that's the mass effect universe
like canon timeline
is that in the mass effect universe
like racial divisions
become like
incredibly difficult to determine
because the advent of
space travel means
interbreeding become like
and also aliens make your
human racial differences
look fucking stupid
right
cause people are doing it with aliens all over the blue chicks
damn so george i think
honestly that the only way
that you fight down those google search
results is through
larger controversy
or bigger jokes
so you might have to take a hit
on larger things so i either have to say
something really funny
or do something really stupid
or we have to
associate you with something worse
yeah no
or similar
and push it harder
this is my new year's resolution
alright we walked back the blackface
we walked back the soft shoe
we walked back the unsubscribed
cause we never made that joke in the first place
no no the unsubscribed that's fine
whatever like my grandkids can google that
can you
settle with people
gizzing into your socks
okay alright we'll have to live with that world
okay that's a world i can live in
order your george sleeves now
you can't they're out of stock you gotta find somebody else's george
they're extremely limited editions
so you should have bought them earlier
they'll never come back ever again
oh my god
you say a word and it takes
a few seconds for it to
really sink in
everyone can share this one george sleeve
blackface
george
it's for the under job
oh i love you george
you're the best
alright i got a new year's resolution
for puny hop
try and relax a bit more buddy
you come off as a humorless fuck occasionally
wait really that's it that's all you had for me
what the fuck man try and relax a bit more
no stop
wow you're off to a great start
my resolution for
bunny hop is that
you return fire
and double down with the ammunition
and try to get our names
associated with horrible shit on giggle
that's the thing that hasn't happened
so far is that with all
of our call outs and all of our dirt
throwing we've never
like the best dirt throw
so far at one of us has been
mad trying to like in the walking dead
play through
like i'm going
oh that really bums me out and he goes
what the south will never rise again
yeah i know it really bothers you
like confederate pat was
pretty good right
but like nothing nothing
from elsewhere i guess people are too afraid
to start youtube drama
drama alert but i
i think that like i think buddy hop has
the power to like
make an almost informative video
on some dark
horrible thing that we're into
and expose it and research it
and conclude on it in the same
like five minute time you keep thinking
that because you're nervous about it
well oh that sounds like you got some
dirt oh what do you got what do you got
oh i don't know
i'll find out at magfest oh yeah
and we'll see
like who walks out it's going to end
with a photo of you eating like a
sandwich in an awkward moment
do normal people know about
the negative campaign ads that
me and austin eruption were running
against each other
i don't know if they do
we're like this was just like
a stupid inside joke or whatever but
but he went to the bathroom at a water burger
and it took a while and then when he came back
like me and the car full of friends were
we're doing this negative campaign
but we're like austin eruption
jerks off in water burger bathrooms
is this the man you want in charge
of your sewers
that's uh
i mean getting up taking too long
in a bathroom at a rap fast food restaurant
is totally asking to get shit on
i don't think are those the kind of
people you want in charge of your children
is there anything
wait why are you two people being put in charge
of your children i what if they
try to run for political office one day
you gotta you gotta keep a blackmail file
oh my god i ordered a happy meal
and took it into the bathroom with him
really i bet he's fucking the lettuce
you want to be comp-troller
what the fuck oh you just
wanted an excuse to say comp-troller
that's always the awkward position
no one gives a fuck about it i don't know what the fuck a comp-troller is
it sounds cool but it's probably
is a comp-troller just a fucking
dota player in comp-stomp games
a comp-troller is
a controller used in the title of some
financial offices
he ruins it always
is a management level position responsible
for supervising the quality of accounting
for financial reporting of an organization
he's doing that thing again woolly
do what fact checking
yeah the thing that ruins the
podcast don't fact check on a
podcast that's wrong
oh somebody somebody
pointed out something that i said the
other day that was wrong as they want to
do and i came up with an idea
i would like everyone
to band together maybe form a google
doc and i want
a catalog of
everything that i say that is wrong
and i want to like
i want to make that into a
book one day
i mean i'm sure like i feel like between
the fucking
twitter accounts and tumblers
and posts that go up regularly on the
subreddit that you can probably just gather that
information because it's already been logged
yeah but i don't want to do it
i want somebody else to do it i'll take credit for their work
and then i'll make money off of it
are you sure you just won't be blackmailed when you try to run
for some kind of office yeah like i'm
going to run for office
i hope someone was dying
in the street pat buvang
is going to run for office
like they should be lined up and shot
i see every day
every video every piece of content
i make myself more
unelectable that's that's
the job that's what we signed up for
that's the life we chose or rather the life
that shows us anything cool after this
no and that's why
i want the results of this war that we have
buddy hop i want the result
you wanted to be scorched earth
i want the google results to be so
like revolts revolting
you know what i want you know what i want
i don't want this don't do this but you know it would be funny
you changed your mind real fast
you to type in
patrick buvang
and the first result is
stop motion
the second result is
alouettes
and the third result is youtube
nazi question mark
i didn't know you have a vimeo account
i have a vimeo account
no it's it's the other one
that does better videos than us
you should check out the other patrick buvang
from montreal because his stop motion
stuff is stellar yeah the better pat buvang
i don't need this
there are three guys
named pat in my fucking
bird squad that is infuriating
to me
im pat
anyway im pat
so yes but george
we look forward to
your ammo sir and we will meet you
like generals on the field
we'll ride our horses out
exchange notes
and see what dirt you've dug up
why can't we all just get along
okay so okay
i'll find out what's in your browser
i remember when i first met
mr bunny hop
mr george over in atlanta
and we went out to dinner
at i believe it was
that barbeque place
or the german place it was the german place
the beer garden
and i sat next to him
chatting with george
and i kept calling him a bitch
and i kept telling him to fuck off bitch
i don't remember that
and he kept looking at me
with all sad puppy eyes and shit
and going wink
why
why you keep
i loved you bunny
and he would go why
i don't remember several things
you just said
you were drinking
sure i'm sure i was
Laughs bunny doesn't
understand the antagonistic love
i bet he's not into
the sunday as much either
i got that
george i am your sunday
he's sitting right now
so why would you do that
if you want to bang me just ask
he's doing it right now
just ask if you want to bang me
don't pretend that you don't want to bang me
i'm going to pretend all the time
because that's how i'm going to live my life
babaka
you're setting yourself up for a miserable only existence
yeah but you know
the pushing the pull is part of the fun of it
the whole
the pushing the pull you're talking about on the
on the penis
no games
i just want to go straight for the dicks
you like yourself a ray don't you
no resistance
okay wow
exactly
that's the worst part
that's why it's terrible
so great you can just like extrapolate
i don't know
aggressive sexual practices out of
okay
so on the
podcast i don't know why last watched it when i was
13 years old
that's early enough to fuck you up
forever
i heard do you want the one that likes you
do you want the one that hates you do you want the one that doesn't
feel anything about you at all
i heard the podcast on the podcast
george super bunny hop was yelling
pat to get into his dick sleeve

another one when when they never come out again

and uh
you know yeah supplementary
things that we do yeah we're gonna be the basic
the basic structure
basic structure that woolly and i have
folded in on over the past
a week or so is uh
we're gonna be doing LPs
every other day
at three o'clock
and then uh at night
at nine we're gonna have either a one-off
uh matt's got a big backlog of stuff
that he gave to us that we can put up
of various videos that either showed up
somewhere else or whatever yeah well it was it was exactly
the um the the obscure
of things that didn't really get pushed that much or
some stuff that we did yeah so
we're putting those up at night alongside one-offs
uh next week
i think we're only gonna have 11 videos
maybe it'll only be the week after
but you're gonna get at least 10
or more every week no problem
yeah um i mean you know we're
gonna try to fill it out as best we can and uh
that'll be that and if uh and if the
and uh and uh also if the
the um
we're good this week for stuff right
yeah we are we're totally we're totally good this week
and um you know like
i said the main thing is to have the
two LPs uh going
off at three and so one off
next next week um
if any of the videos are
super fucked up it's not
my fault
we're trying something
new we're trying something new oh hopefully
it works out yeah but if they're
super fucked up let me know
but it's not my fault
we're gonna have to check it but we're gonna see if um
um someone can help us with some editing yeah
uh is basically what's gonna go down so
all right i'd say that's it man
um george
pleasure having you man is he already gone
no no i'm still here i was just that'd be awesome
no you know what he was doing right he was low key
masturbating
oh into his own sleeve
that's what he's always wanted of his own make

like fade the colors washing them too much
so use your george socks sparingly
