That's Dell.com slash gaming. Alright. Oh yeah, it was a little low there. It's a little low there. A little bit low? No, I mean like your laptop. It was pointed kind of at your nips. Oh, well I mean we can get straight nip cam if we go like this. He'd go like that.

No, that's not your nips. That's your third nip. No, let's not get too low. That's just the wooly toe. Let's not get too low because then we can't... That's wooly's moose knuckle. I don't want to turn the... I don't want to turn the... That's where the reverse milk comes from.

Turn the laptop off. Wooly's new... Oh boy. Why are you in white screen? Why am I in white screen? That is a really good question. That's a really weird one. That's a weird one. That's fine. Hey visuals, let's discuss visuals on the podcast.

Here's my visual. Isn't that song fucking great? It's really good. It is good. It does a lot of things all at once. Gets you all into a lot of places. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the Super Best Friendcast. Feeling super relaxed. Hello.

Yeah. Yeah. Feels good. No one stabbed me with a syringe on the way over here. That's nice. Not to say that they didn't try. Oh man. Trying is always... It's a risk you take.

Trying is always the first thing towards failure. Yeah, and always. It's a risk you take when you go outside that someone might stab you with a syringe. It's a possibility. You got to be ready at all times. Syringes are really fragile. They're usually made out of plastic and shit. I'm always like, ah, it's going to break. That's like half of the syringe stab fear.

Why? That the syringe will break when they stab you. No, I mean like if they're really trying to kill you, maybe they're holding it so tight, it'll just snap in too. And then they'll look like a fool. That'd be bad. And you'll be staring at them. That'd be real bad.

What about momentary distraction? Okay. Oh, so my hearing's dying. I hate that noise. Really? Yeah. You heard like a loud like the loud. Yeah.

Oh, that's the sound of the note you will never hear again. Because it's going away forever. Dude, what was that? Was that Fight Club? I think so. I think that was Fight Club. Whereas like, yeah, every time your ear rings, that's the sound of a dead note.

Okay, so something like that happened on the weekends. You're not your fucking khakis, where I was playing near with a friend of mine and fucking all of a sudden, my stream starts going crazy. Like, what the fuck is that noise? It's the worst noise I've ever heard. And I'm sitting there going,

I don't know what the fuck that is. And apparently there's a goddamn noise that like items play in near to help you find them. Okay. But I can't hear it because I'm 30. That's rough, bro. Hmm. Like I physically and totally unable to hear it.

Wow. I went back and watched my footage. Like, no, I have nothing. Have you? So that mechanic doesn't work for me? Yeah. Have you? What was it?

There was apparently there was a point where some, there was research being done and like some stores were... Yeah, in the UK, we're creating the teenager fucking death noise. Where only they would hear it and then they blast it. So it's like, we don't want...

I'm pretty sure that... That's an ex files episode. Pretty sure they made that illegal because it's like a form of fucking age discrimination. It's fucked up. But like, yeah, so there's, there's notes that only young people can hear that old people can't.

And they'd use those to get Lloyd people to not... No, no, no. That's not an ex. That's a goosebumps episode. Yeah. The old person that draws them in... There's an entire set of frequencies

that pretty much drop off at 25. Which is what makes it good for scared away the youngies. And it's weird because I bet you like, it's so subtle that those kids probably don't even know or recognize it, but they just are like, we didn't want... Well, they just kind of know we don't

want to be here. The reason why they had to do something is because they were like, convenience store owners were, they weren't just like making it subtle. They were like blasting out of a loudspeaker. It's the worst fucking noise ever if you can't hear it.

A share. Like onto the, into the street. Yeah, like share. Thank you. That took me a second. Thank you. Like share? It's a high-pitched robot noise like share.

Yeah. Because the only share song I know ever, period, is if you believe in life after love. If you believe in life after love. Yeah. Where she becomes a robot for like a second. She does, but that's what she wants to become because she's getting old now.

You know. Well, I'm sorry. She was getting old. I'm getting old. I'm my fucking hearing's going. Man, fucking scintillating podcast, dump on share. Yeah, man.

And it was me. Hot topics. That instituted it. You did bring it up. You want to get into fucking your opinions on Sunny Bono? You want to get into... No, he's fine.

No. I mean, he was fine. All right. Yeah, that's it. He's dead now. I got nothing. He's dead. Yep.

That's what happens when you get old. And you ski. Wasn't he like an absolute piece of shit or something? I don't know. I thought he was a congressman. Wait. Sunny Bono? You might be thinking of the WWF manager, Sunny Ono.

Yeah. Are you thinking... Because I used to hear those names very similar to each other as well. And you might... Sunny Ono is like the sneaky Japanese heel manager. He was the Japanese Jim Cornette. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

All right. You look that up. Sunny Bono is Sharon's husband. Sunny Bono and Sharon. Right. And they broke up. Maybe he was a dirtbag. I don't know.

They watched their... They had a variety show with... Yeah. With Bert Reynolds. And Bert Reynolds will show up on it. Oh, sure. And you do all these skits and show his bare chest with all the hair and shit like that. Yeah, all the medallions.

And basically a whole bunch of the skits were him just going like, look at my chest and Sharon would come over and rub it for a while. I don't remember this. And Sunny would be in the background like, oh, probably wearing a Superman outfit staring from the closet. Oh, we're going for that Superman bit a lot. Well, that's basically what was happening on the show. If you go back and watch it, and like, you know, Bert Reynolds being Bert Reynolds would

be like, fuck yeah, I'm taking this tension. I'm Bert fuck on Reynolds, exactly. Bert Reynolds was the who? I guess I'd say... No, I was thinking of the right guy. Okay. And he was a mayor. Okay, a mayor.

I like it better to think that you thought it was Sunny. Oh, no. So I'm going to go with that. Because I don't know who that is. Just create that narrative. Well, no, that's the timeline I'm going down. That's how I knew I was right because I didn't know the thing that you said that would make me wrong.

I had no idea what the fuck you're talking about. But it's right to most people. Yeah. Did you look up Sunny Ono or Sunny Bono? Sunny Bono. Sunny Bono. Okay. Well, anyway, Bert Reynolds was the Ryan Gosling.

Sunny Ono wasn't dead. Bert Reynolds was the Ryan Gosling, really. Of the age she was. Oh, dude, did you see in fucking Hawaii 5-0, man? No. His mustache is crazy. He's more like... That's the wrong fucking show.

He's the sex symbol. Yeah, I guess. That's the... He's more of a rough and tumble guy. He is, and Ryan is clean, but that's because the era represents the cleanness of the era. They have to have some nasty guy come up today and be the new sex symbol. Like Brad Perry. Jim Norton comes up, not happening.

Fucking slug face. No way. Oh, come on. Hey. He's a nice man. No, he's not. DeNiro called him a slug. It's fine.

We can call him a slug too. DeNiro? I don't think... Who's a nasty guy nowadays that I want to be more prominent? Well, that's the thing. We mentioned Fight Club, but it's like there was Fight Club era Brad Pitt, but now he's gone. But who was Brad Pitt back in the day?

It was Robert Redford. A, because he looked exactly like him, Brad Pitt, when he was young, but he was the clean cut by then. I think Johnny Knoxville is a gross motherfucker that girls wanted to bang. Wait. Stevo. Pontius. Johnny Knoxville's fine.

Yeah. But when you want the grimy, sex symbol. I mean like porn stash guy. You're talking about Ron Jeremy. Greasy guy. Yeah. But he's always been... You know what I mean?

That's a time... You can't really apply that to the era. So there's always the era and... Tom Hiddleston. There's always... He's this gross hairy guy. There's always the era of what the new hot guy is, and in between those eras, Sean Connery comes back for a new form.

Opens up the coffin, says I'm coming back for a little bit. You pass the torch to Sean, and then Sean gives it to the next guy. Yeah. I don't know who really grimes up the era. Casey Affleck. What about fucking the IRL though? I thought you were going to say IRS, like the wrestler. Yeah.

Guy wrestling on the ring today. Like every day. Wayne Johnson. Just... Yeah. Just hairy. Just gross. That mop of greasy hairy has disgusted.

Wayne is a fucking bronze to Donna's, like there has never been. Do you know how amazing his life is? I heard that apparently, like the one thing that he ever had close to like a scandal was like he had a divorce. Yeah, he had a divorce. And that was... Apparently he might have been sleeping around, but no. He had a divorce, and like his ex-wife is still currently his manager and friends.

Shut up, really. Yeah. And that's fun. So it's like, hey, it's all good. Listen, this thing, this isn't going to work, but that other thing, that thing's fine. Okay. I find you're kind of a connoisseur, maybe. Maybe I'm...

A slime man? Of a connoisseur of beefs. You like beefs between people, like analyzing them, thinking about them a little bit? A little bit. So you know the one apparently between Vin Diesel and the Rock? And the Rock on the set of Ice Break. Yeah. And do you know the update to that with Vin Diesel's side?

What's the update? I don't know Vin Diesel's side. Okay, you know the Rock side. I know the Rock side. Are you both familiar with the Rock side? And the Rock side is like, hey, when you watch this movie, you're going to see me fucking pissed. My blood is boiling.

I almost killed some motherfuckers on the set. And he doesn't say, just goes my male co-stars. And one of them is like pretty unprofessional. And I heard interviews with Statham, and I heard interviews with Tyree. Process of elimination. Yeah, I heard interviews with... And the both of them, like they're both like, we're staying professional, we're not going to say nothing about it.

But basically, the idea was the Rock was cracking jokes on set and everyone was laughing except one person, you know, because maybe those jokes were about that one person. So Vin Diesel's side is like someone came up to him in an interview and said, hey, what's the deal with the Rock? Pretty much eluding that you're a huge dick. And then he's like, haha, the thing about me and the Rock is that we're basically like brothers. No one really knows how close we are, but trust me, you're really close.

I don't know what he was saying. That's crazy. Haha. Don't worry about that. Yeah. And basically just kind of laughed it off without really saying anything. That's because Vin Diesel knows how to support and healthily flower and water a multi-billion-dollar franchise.

Because then people look back and goes, hey, you know, when the Fast and the Furious franchise started making like mega-billion dollars when Vin Diesel, when the Rock joined. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Fast five, I think. Was that okay? Was that the big step up?

That was when it just started making tons of money. I don't know if you've been paying attention, but after he got out of that fucking thing with Disney where you had to do kids movies all the time, you put the Rock in your movie, you make money. Well, he didn't get out. He still made Moana. That Hercules movie didn't make... Yeah, but that's different than the fucking Tooth Fairy.

Certainly. But I mean... That Hercules movie doesn't do well, but... That's fine. Yeah. There were two or three Hercules movies that year. Everybody involved knows how to protect an insane mega-friend. I got more stuff.

Okay. Okay. They shot a scene at the end of the Wild Speed Icebreak where it was the Rock and Jason Statham, and they've been fighting and like scrapping at each other a little bit. They're trying to be on the same team the entire movie. And apparently... Jason Statham was dead. No.

I mean, in the movie. No. Oh. He was just crushed a bunch. So they filmed a scene where it kind of goes, hey, Jason Statham, I'm really glad we're able to like push side of differences to fight against this thing. I still hate you, mate. Yeah, yeah, I hate you too.

And then was there any other missions for Just Us? They filmed a scene like that. It was in Test Things. Okay. Vin Diesel's a producer on the movie, was not told about this. Vin Diesel's sister is also a producer, found out about it, told Vin Diesel, Vin Diesel called up the CEO of Universal and said, cut that shit out of the movie. God damn.

I don't want... It was just like cut that shit out of the movie. To be fair. Reasons why? No one knows, but reasons why is a lot of my shine is going to take us away. I would gladly watch the spin off between those two. Not being told about shit on your own fucking movie. Running it out of the movie?

Those are both equally gross. If you secretly have to go do the thing behind a dude's back, that's pretty scum to begin with. Okay, do you know where it's scum? Do you know where it's scum? If they exploded something or there was a car wreck or if money was spent, it was a scene where they just talked to each other in a room. Well, you know, here's my logic, well, Willie, I don't personally see any issue with a scene

like that, but they clearly knew that it would cause an issue. And that makes it even more of a thing. So like, let's say for example, let's say for example, Willie left a sandwich in the fridge at work, right? And I came in. You filmed the scene where you ate it. And I ate the sandwich. And then when he was like, hey, what happened to that sandwich?

I was like, I don't know. Right? And then he goes, because you know, anybody can have it, I just want to know who ate it, right? See, even though it was fine, the fact that I'm going, I don't know what happened with it becomes a big issue. Now it's an issue. If out of spite, he was like, oh, you didn't tell me about this.

Fuck you. It's like you could. It's a bit, you know, not that maybe he maybe he would have like hated it to begin with. OK, what if they filmed a scene with Vin Diesel in it and didn't tell him? That's still be. Do you think he would have? He would have cut it out. Yeah.

No, I don't think he would have. What if they cg'd Vin Diesel into a new scene? No, they don't. Paul Walker's body. There you go. Vin Diesel's head on him sees his face. Just get that Star Wars technology and reanimate. Speaking of Star Wars, man, it's really sad that Star Wars is such a broken

shitty franchise now that Fast and the Furious has now trumped it for the most money made. Well, you know, I fucking funny to me. I saw a really good tweet that said that the average person can relate more stealing cars and then broken family. Then they can dump space wizards. So I think that's hilarious. I think it's understandable. That being said, that is that is definitely the big part of the news

this week is all of that shit. So we'll get there. A lot of money was made. But I guess we should start with some weeks and see what everyone was up to. What did you do, William? I just play Persona 5. It's a very good video game. Give me a give me a date.

Um, I am. I'm or or dungeon. Yeah, I'm too. I'm too. I'm past the second calling card. OK, so that's a good looking area. Yeah. Is that the second dungeon not like visually very cool?

Very, very cool. Everything's everything's just very, very cool. Hey, you know, it's fun. What? Um, your what's his name? A Sojiro? Yeah. Sojiro is the guy who owns the cafe that you see. Same voice actor is near.

Yeah, didn't catch as Papineer. Yeah, that's cool. That's cool. There's there's old guy near. There is. Yeah. So so you've been you've you've gone through it all and you get to discover the the quote of Persona problem that I've been calling it for a while is that they need a bunch

of highly talented voice actors for these games that you're going to hear a lot of. And there is some fucking overlap. Yeah, you're going to recognize a lot of people, a lot of teachers, a lot of background characters, a lot of everybody. It's like, oh, there's already existing character in the persona franchise.

Like Yukari is like half of all students right in the background. Yeah, no, the only thing close to like an annoyance that I have is the go the fuck to sleep problem. So you're feeling it now. But I understand why it exists because totally. It's the same thing. It's just that Mona's telling you.

Yeah. And the thing is that even if that weren't the case, turn it off. There'd be because there's nights where you'd like an activity happens, something goes down and then it's like, OK, you're back in your room. Now what do you do? And it's like, the only thing you can do is go to sleep. And I'm like, so then why even drop me in the room?

Why not just switch to the next day? Just go automatically. There's absolutely nothing to do in that area. Yeah, because I can walk to every item and everything in my room and everything around the zone. And it's all going to say, now, you're really tired. You should go to sleep. And it's really just like, well, I am in my room.

And it won't even let you watch the news broadcasts on some days. But the reason why, actually, it lets you watch it. And then it goes straight to like if you want to do an activity, you can't. But the reason why that exists is that you can save it. Yeah. And I understand that reason.

And so it's like, OK, fine. But that's a good enough reason to drop me here. But here's the thing, your save game at that spot doesn't matter because there's the fast forward function. And if there's nothing you can actually do or change, it doesn't actually change anything. But it's just a little area so you can do any inventory management you want to do

and do a quick save. And I get that. I just wish that you'd not have to do that when you didn't really feel like saving. The lie, which is where the embargo, big air quotes, ends. And I passed the date of Do Not Show. And I get it. There's a slight shift in the tone.

But like whatever, it's very high quality. Very good game. Yeah. There's, as always, music and everything is just amazing. And there's this one moment. I think Brennan tweeted about it. But I didn't really understand it until it happened. And it's kind of arbitrary.

But there's just a nice moment when you get the ability to, like instead of being stuck in a small environment at night time, you get the ability to kind of just open up, go everywhere at night, right? I think, yeah, he did tweet about this. And the moment that happens, the nighttime theme song you've been listening to the whole time, suddenly lyrics kick in.

It's real good. And you get that nice little. It also will change. That'll be a revengeant style. Just you add in a little bit more of the music. Can you add a little? And now you bring in the lyrics. And it's like, oh, god damn.

I'm not exactly sure what triggers it. But there's one that backs off some of the instrumentation. Yeah. It comes nearly entirely vocal. It does. And so I just love that little moment of like, wait, I've been listening to this song the whole time for hours now.

And there's more to it simply because now it's like, OK, we've opened up the map to you. Like, I fucking just love little things like that, man. It's so weird because whereas in P in 3 and 4, there were. I'm just going to call everything a confidant now because S-Links is gone. Yeah, S-Links is old. Yeah.

Confidants are new. There were confidants in the previous games that you had no interest in pursuing. And you actively would go out of your way to almost avoid if it weren't for the power-ups. We talked about how there's that weird creature in the music class. And we saw her picture once, and that was the end of it.

That one's extra weird because there's an alternate version of that confidant. And so you can just pick the one you want. And it says a lot that the one that everyone picked was the girl in the drama class that hates her dad. That's the superior option. There's a nice big old telltale Carla and Doug choice that you get to make.

Basically, in P4 where they both lead you to the same power-ups. So you get to make friends and get the same benefit. But you choose between. One's a child mutant. You get to choose between drama, literally drama girl, who's all about daddy-daddy issues, or a lumpy space princess in ugly child form.

Who's also about daddy and mommy issues. And you peek in on the drama room. You see the drama girl. Then you peek in on the music class. And you see the creature. And you just walk back to the drama room. And I am thou, thou art I. It's the only problem with.

Start the goddamn link up. It's the only problem with the persona for the animation is that they go for the tiny mutant. They go for that one. So there are most of the. Never once has she been seen in a waifu wars poster, of any kind. There are most of the confidants,

are slam dunks this time. I was getting at the fact that they're all so far. There's one. There is one at least, that is a fucking like throw the basketball out into the parking lot, get out of here. And in addition to being terrible, the powers they give you are hands down

the worst in the game. So it's a safe ignore. Okay, I'm safe ignore. So far, I'm loving each of them. And like even the. Where you're at, it's all like hard winners. They're all real good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And like though, I think the one that gives you the, like one of the ones that gives you the best stuff is also the most enjoyable one. And I think you might know. Well, it just hit me with, is it death? You get, no, not even death. Okay. Because you use the cards, not the names.

Yeah, it's the one, I forgot the arcana, but it's the one that gives you more time for activities during that. Temperance. Temperance. Okay. It is so fun. Okay, let's talk around this a little,

but I need to talk about the temperance, as like, how far did you get in it? I'm pretty early. Okay, it's the best. It's so enjoyable. It is. It's so enjoyable. From the, like.

The very concept of it is like. The instant you meet that person is probably the best part of the whole game so far. I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it. Just, just, oh, fuck, it's you. Just, ah! And so I remember talking to you a little earlier in the week, Willie,

where I was talking about how I love how, you remember how in P4, your goofball answers were like a weirdo? And in P5, your goofball answers are, you are a piece of shit. You're a complete weirdo, yeah. All of the worst ones I've seen are with that temperance-esque link.

They're all like, the bad ones are like, disgusting. To the point of one of them is like, oh, you're tired, give me my money back. The fun part about that entire confidant as well is that even if the rewards were terrible, it would still be the first one. I still want to find out what happens on that storyline. I'd keep pushing it as hard as possible.

But the reward is the best reward. You're getting the best reward out of the best storyline. Do you know what? It's just such a win-win. Do you know what the number one final reward for that is? I'm assuming something really good time-related. It's the best thing you could imagine in that game time-related.

Every day. You get your evenings back after you go to the dungeon. Oh, man, that's great. That's so good, fuck. After both games now, after three and four, that's so valuable. So about those S-Links, because there's so few of them that are just losers,

I'm having a harder time managing my time as I get further into the game because it's like, I mean, at this point, it's like, well, okay, I can hang out with six people. Every one of them will give me a power-up of some kind. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's the party members that'll give you power-ups that are straight-up useful right away.

And then there's the ones that'll give me more intangible ones. And my OCD started kicking real, real bad, and then somebody told me something about New Game Plus that just all of it just washed away. And in New Game Plus, you get a bonus to your S-Links. Like, you know how you bring the moon to talk to moon and you get a bonus?

New Game Plus gives you another bonus. Cool. So it's gonna be super easy to do all of it. Yeah, I really, one thing that I really enjoyed was the implementation of some of those SMT-4 systems, right? And the demon negotiation is back here. It's the best it has ever been because-

It's so fantastic. For reasons I only discovered the last session I was playing, I didn't realize how good that stuff was because- Gloomy. Right, what you get is your basic demon negotiation from SMT-4 where you can fight something instead of going for an all-out attack, you can talk to them and get an item

or get money from whatever you're fighting. And if you- Or more and more only get them. And if you, or you can actually gain the demon, exactly. If you, so you're getting like a catch your Pokemon type of mechanic there. If you go ahead and level up one of your confidants, you actually get the ability to demand more.

So you can demand more money or demand- Oh, you're hanging out with Sun a lot, huh? So that's going good. And of course, like in the SMT-4, you can still, you can demand more as well. And then you push it and push it until eventually the demon goes, hey, fuck you. You get back to the battle, right?

But here, if you feel it out, you can go, give me more money. And then they go, oh, fuck you. And you go, give me more money. And you bleed them out like four times. And then on the last one where it usually you would go back to, yeah, this is fine for now. And then the battle stops.

You just press triangle. All-out attack. And you fucking, you take their money and then you all-out attack them anyway, kill them, get them the bonus XP, get the full battle XP, get the full battle items and everything you would have if you killed them. Plus you ganked them for their money.

I felt like Omar. So, I felt like fucking Omar. There are a bunch of ways that you can game that system. And I don't have what you're talking about. I did not know that until you just said it. Dude, the difference was one mementos run was like, I made that and there's whatever it's the random dungeon. Yeah.

That you should very much beat by Christmas. Oh, okay, well, anyway. No, that's the only piece of advice you need. Okay. Is beat it by Christmas. Cool. One run, like the difference between doing what I just said and not doing it is like more than quadruple your money.

So you wanna fucking talk money, bullshit. Fortune gives the ability to double your money if you went with all out of tax. And Star gives you double your money if you win in the first round. Okay. And they stack. Okay, okay, got it.

That's good, that's good. Cause stuff starts getting pricey around June or July. Like stuff starts like it's, I wanna get a gun, please. No, okay. I can't like, this is one of those games that comes along. And so the way those, literally the way those all out attacks play out

and the way their windscreens kick in were, I can eat like when I say identical to like one of the game design ideas I had that I was working. Like the way the portrait kicks in, it's the, it's exactly the way I want. And it's because it's actually a flag. It's big, it's exactly the windscreen type pose, whatever thing that I want, love and need in my life.

And it does, it has the exact timing that it needs to have. Everyone, everyone gets a different art treatment. They're always like, it's something that I, This isn't the fight, is it? No, it's not, but it might as well have been. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's so fucking just like you're nailing it

so much harder than I ever could have with this type of idea that I don't even want to do it anymore. You're saying- Well, cause now it's like, hey, you ripped off persona. And you killed it. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Hey, but you came up with the idea first. Don't forget. I have, I have. So like four dungeons in and you can see why the game was delayed. It's every single element, every dialogue choice, every visual, every aspect. Shop like UI is incredible.

The animation, you ever work at the beef bowl? Yeah, of course you had to work at the beef bowl shop. You like the animation of you like running your ass off, trying to do your fucking beef bowl orders. Like the way that you chugged that Sunday bullshit. Your weapon shop, your med shop, like have these amazing presentations. You know what's funny about that,

about the Sunday shit, the thing you're chugging. So I recently, I recently started like mixing up these fucking- Oh, you're doing that shit, huh? These kale shakes. Oh boy. And they are brutal. Chug it.

They're brutal. Do you have a- Hey, kale is brutal. Do you have a cat next to you that goes, that's a good chugging? It was bad. I'm just standing in front of my, I'm standing in front of my sink,

glopping and going, and then going again for more. Do you feel kinder after? I didn't know what Al Jiru was. And so I was like, what is this thing that he keeps like going, ugh, at the end, and they're like, wow, good job.

And I looked it up. It's a fucking kale shit. Of course it is. It's literal. So I'm like, I felt that pain that same morning on Sunday, cause I did it. And it sucks. So Wally, you're in May or the first week of June,

if you beat the second dungeon. Have you gone to the theater and watched the cake night rises? Twice. I watched it alone. And then I watched it with a buddy. Okay, so that shit looks like it was very much on the localization team.

Fucking good job on those movies. Did you watch whatever the Y files? The X folders? Oh yeah, yeah, the X folders. Yeah, with a Mully and Skullsy. Yeah. No, Fox and Skullsy. Sure.

Yeah. Fox and Skullsy? Yeah, you watched a fucking DVD of the X folders with Fox and Skullsy. The X folders is good. The weirdest one is Wraith. And it's like, is this a fucking reference to the fucking Demi-Mor-Ghost movie?

Cause I'm always a fan of moldy and scholar. Yeah. Sure. I like Skuzzy and Fax modem. Yeah, of course you do. That's good too. You can rent out, was it like Mick Goover or whatever? Mick.

Mick Goover. It's something like that. I believe it's Mick Giver. Or whatever. Mick Giver, that's it. It's Mick Giver. Instead of Mac, right? And you know.

Anyway, so lots of fun stuff there. Of course, the added benefit of it being accurate Shibuya. Hyper accurate. Accurate Shinjuku. That stuff is really fun as well. And to the point where you have to like know where you're going a little bit and follow the signs. You'll learn, but like there are multiple bits

in the game, usually when you go to a new area, they're like, no, no, no, no. You transfer over there. Yeah. That's like what? And that's just, it's an extra layer of like, enjoyment that Akihabara Strip, like Akihabara Strip, excuse me.

And SMC4 and whatnot, and these games offer where you're like, hey, I've been here. I know what this is like. You get that little extra bonus of like, fuck, this is exactly what it's like. So Matt, you want to fucking get super confused about Yakuza in P5,

you can go down to fucking not Shibuya. Kamurocho. You can go down to the area that's supposed to be Kamurocho, the red light district, and you can go to the theater that's there and you can watch Like a Dragon,

which is the Japanese name of Yakuza, which is Ryuga Gotoko, and you watch Yakuza One, the movie. Really? That is confusing. Meanwhile, there's actual Yakuza out on the streets. Well, as there should be. That you can, and there's like,

don't talk to that guy, says Mona. He looks shady. And then there's like hosts, and you see like, they got the fucking shit hair. Dude, those two guys on the street, they're the only guys that look like that, and their hair is like, and I'm like, I saw that guy.

I saw him in real life. Fuck. It's nice that these Japanese games can finally like, Guy McFur. Guy McFur, that's it. Guy McFur, that sounds more like it. That these Japanese games can finally recreate, recognizable things. We've been enjoying since 2002,

since True Crime Streets of LA. That's true. You know? That's true. Oh, I remember this. Or identical NPC. Or just keep watching the last half of the jackal on repeat to get your Montreal.

Or Punisher Warzone. That too. Have you, or recently, John Wick 2. Yeah, John Wick 2's all over. I never actually saw it. You're like, it's the worst I've ever seen. It's so obvious.

And it takes you out for seconds, but it's cause it's going by so quickly. Like there's landmarks and shit. But you're going like, but hey. Okay, John Wick 2, does it take place in a city? Or is it a name less? It takes place in New York City.

Okay. Cause to me, the worst is still Punisher Warzone because they had to take down all the French signs and put up fake English signs that say China food. See, but that's the thing is in John Wick, they're driving by really quickly. So you kind of recognize those shapes and lights of St. Catherine.

But there's... Hey, there's that flying girl in a bikini from Club Superstar. In the jackal though, he's on foot. And they're in Montreal. They're like, we got to go to Montreal. So you see the exact layout of Lidl. Well, John Wick, the way that it gets real, real bad

is that at the end of the car chase at the very beginning, they have this big shot of the busted up card and they pan up and they show that big yellow light that goes all the way up the Banks, Gosha theater that I was inside watching the movie. Right, right, right. God, what, there is a, there's another movie that actually has like CFCF 12,

which is our local news on it. And they show a Montreal bus and they actually got... Don't say Mitsumi Takahashi. No, they got, did not miss, they got Lloyd Robertson. Lloyd Robertson? They got Lloyd Robertson, who's our local anchor on the, in this movie as well. And he was like reading out the movie or whatever

in the same way that they get like Wolf Blitzer to do shit in the movies. So I have a few more percent of five questions for you, Wolfs, cause I'm excited to ask them. Have you tried the Comet Burger? I have and I am a two star general. Okay, your second mate? Yeah.

Okay. That's a very different thing from a two star general. Nevermind. The second mate. Yeah, you're right. Okay, so that one, you're like, wow, that's crazy. All the burgers after, I've only eaten the one after that. You look at it, it's like this is literally impossible

for a human being to eat. Yeah. Well, the first burger you get is larger than your main character's chest. Torso, yeah, like the whole torso. You have to Kobayashi it, which doesn't make much sense because you'll walk away looking like one of those like African gas babies with a huge gut

and it's just like, you can't swallow this. What are you doing? African gas babies. I know what he's talking about. You know the ones with the flies? Yeah, I know. And it's fucked because. Distended stomach.

That's the word, that's the word. And you know what I mean. I know what you mean. And then you get those huge benefits from finishing the fucking thing. Dude. So you want to keep going back. Those girls that were watching you slam

that giant burger in your gullet, they think you're super hot. It's amazing. It took proficiency, it took skill. I like that beef juice leaking out of the side of his mouth. So I'll give you a tip for those stats. You know how you can study in the diner when it's raining and you have tons of knowledge.

You know how there's a bunch of ways to get guts and charm? Like that you go to the bath on Mondays and whatever. There's no good way to get kindness. And kindness is just as important. You should kill him with it. So learn to work at that flower shop. Kill him with kindness. Yeah, rough leisure.

Yeah, because you're gonna hit a point where you're like all your stats are kind of getting up there. And you're gonna go, well, where's the special thing that I can do to get more kindness? Drink your fucking kale. It's not enough. It's a different thing every week.

You know this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You need a lot of kindness. I do appreciate the fact that you, showering them down on those big burgers doesn't require you to choose certain options anymore. Like in the last game, take a big bike, take a small bike. I'm glad that they gave you the ability to,

like they gave you stages of burger murder in which like, cause it used to be the beef bowl. It's like, I'm eating this fucking beef bowl every Sunday for fucking a year. I'm not gonna finish it. Hey, have you done the Lotto? I've never done the Lotto. No, what does that fucking do?

So far, I've played the Lotto and it's like, it seems to be like, it's like, check back on this day and you see if you won. And I did it late and I got like, barely any money back. And then I did it on the day and I got a bunch of money back but it still was less than I actually was worth buying. Yeah, that happens.

So I'm wondering if it's like, maybe there's a thing where it's like, if you keep playing the Lotto. I imagine like, it's like a real Lotto. Just keep playing it. One day you'll get lucky. Or there's a day that just happens to be the day you can play on. You know, play on August 29th or whatever.

That's the day your character will win the Lotto. I'm in the jackpot, yeah. I don't know, we'll see. But anyway, other than that. Every aspect of that game is polished to a ridiculous, ridiculous degree. One last thing, how often do you check what other people are doing on a day?

I checked it a lot at the beginning but as you get further on and your play through and your links start to diverge, I played it, I checked less and less. There's only one time that I check it nearly every single time and that's in morning, in class. Okay. When the teacher's like, what is this?

Which of these angles bisects with the triangle at 180 degrees? Oh, you can use it there? You can use it on every test question. I didn't know that. Sorry, every class question you hit it and you will always get the right answer. Holy fuck.

Because everyone is cheating. I didn't know you can use it there. But you can't use it on your exams. Ah, okay. In the end, if you remember from P3 and P4, your exam questions are not the same as your in class. They're similar topics but that's it, yeah. The, because what you're gonna call it,

the main thing I like using them for is to like, I pop it open and it's like, oh, 55% spent their time hanging out with this person and I'm like, who the fuck is that? Who is that? And that's the first thing that I go, and I start panicking because I'm like, oh no, am I missing out?

The reason why it becomes tough to use later on is because you'll hit that and it's like, hung out with Ryuji, but Ryuji's not actually available today. Or whatever, yeah. And so what it seems to be is, you know how you can look at people, like S-Links on your map,

sorry, Confidence on your map and see if they're available? Because of that, they have removed the hard schedule from people. So there's one person you can talk to on Fridays and Saturdays, right? And you know that person, that's Temperance. But everybody else seems to have a pretty free flowing schedule.

That changes for everyone. And like for example, death, you can't do her thing after the test, you have to wait a few days because it takes time. So it's kind of nebulous and all over and it depends on whether or not you did the palace on the first day, it depends on all these things.

No, well not much else to say, firing in all cylinders. What's probably the weirdest is that some of those S-Links change core mechanics. Yeah. Like there's a... The battle negotiation is unique. Well, there's one that allows you to FF10 your party.

Oh, fuck, I was wondering if that was gonna happen. Cause I had moments where I'm like, I'll be the guy that has the ones that my party doesn't have. Well, cause the thing that S-Links, there's a character that just says, I will give tons of experience to people not fighting. You're like, that's useful, I guess.

But not all that useful. And then you get the ability to swap your party members. Fuck yeah. That's a huge difference. Fuck yeah, and wow. That's crazy. Yeah, dungeon clearing is really...

That first one's near impossible to do in a day. Yeah, you're just not good enough. The only way I could do it is I had the pre-order like health bonus and I was able to use a Soma at the first boss and then I just barely did it. SP items, of course, being like the most valuable things because they let you continue your progress beyond where you should.

Yeah, no, the actual battle system of like sneaking and ambushing is so much better than it was. Oh yeah. It's so much better than it was, man. Oh yes, super good. I can sense something. Oh, we're in range. Like, perfect.

It's really fantastic. So yeah, all I can say is, you know, this game is fucking, it's everything. Big thumbs up. And you'll never see it coming. Da, da, da, da. Never getting sick of that. Never getting sick of that song.

It's the best they've done with because it's nice and catchy, but it's also a little more laid back and it's just, and God, you spent, if you know how to beat them, you spend very little time in any particular battle. Like, if you're just gonna wipe them, like what, 10 seconds? So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna press R2 and I'm gonna pass the baton.

Oh man, baton pass. How's your week? I played Persona 5. You wanna talk about it? What else did you do? I played a little bit of Near. Can't talk about it. I started the LP.

It's good. I started the LP. Oh yes, that's good too, also. So I'm watching you guys play as I eat dinner and then I'm going back to play. Near one, just to remind people. You stopped. Near the original.

Near's quite good. I'm planning on finishing it tonight. Did I do it? 2016 funding? Oh no, just the Core 5. Okay. For whatever reason, I was feeling like Malaise

and I decided to re-watch all the Jackass movies. That's weird. Which was weirded me out that you started talking about Johnny Knoxville earlier. Did you just mix Malaise and Lazy? Good job. Well no, but because Malaise-ish, you know? Yeah.

But man, that third one's sad. That third one's sad. Yeah, the story goes places by the people. Have you seen all of them yet? I'm not sure if I've seen three. Okay, the reason why I say three is sad is because they're old. Old, tired, and still doing it.

So that's a factor. So you know how Johnny always gets hit by a bull? Always for some reason, whether it be butter bean or real bull. He gets hit by a bull in three and it takes him way longer to walk it off and he's not laughing. And it's sad.

And a friend of mine, two different friends of mine talking about this in separate occasions told me the same story. So I'm pretty sure it's on point. The reason why it's so old and sad and why they look so much more scared than the other ones and they're kind of miserable is because Steve-o recently got out of rehab

and they're all sober on set in solidarity. Yeah. So unlike the first two jackasses. Where everyone's loaded up. Everyone's real loaded up. Everyone is stone sober on the set of three. Which is why they're all terrified. And like when you're loaded up,

basically have super armor. Oh yeah. Like it takes a lot of damage. Like you lose the damage. Yeah. But you continue your actions. Yeah. You know, like the bull won't stop you.

Keep walking forward. Exactly. The bull won't stop your attack startup. And it's just like, man, they're in their late 30s. I think Johnny's like 40 and it's just like, oh my God. They should have waited. Like they should have delayed filming

until they could get drunk or Steve-o would be fine. I don't, all I remember is, I think it might have been a part of three, but like we were, I was meeting girlfriends folks and with the family and like her brother decided to like pop on one of the movies. And I think it was three. Great family movie.

And we were enjoying it and all having a good time and laughing and I was like, this is weird, but whatever it's kind of loose. Yeah. Until the volcano. And I'm like, oh, I'm watching a man shit all over his own ass. That's correct.

With a family right now. That's how you know the bond is complete. And yeah, the confidant level went up. Those things bring you together. Yep, they trust me. So that's where it got real like, okay. All right, maybe we need to move on. I don't think I've seen this one

because I don't remember being about a volcano. It's a train going around a little choo-choo station like Thomas the Tank Engine style. And then you see a little volcano with like grass growing on it, little trees. And then eventually like you hear dramatic music and then the volcano erupts and it turns out that the mountain was-

Is Dave England's asshole. Okay. And the eruption was actual shit. I have not seen this. It's a big poop flying into the air. And I don't know if like- I wonder if that's in the game. Do, was there any other like stunt that was just like full on

just here's a close up of shit? Yes. Yeah? Yes. I guess you're running and running down the street while shitting was a thing. There's a Jackass one bit where there's a tiny, tiny little bathroom model set

and then just a big huge shit. Drops into the air. And then there's the one where it's fucking taking a shit in the hardware store. Yeah. That I remember. Okay. There's no, dude.

I forgot. Jackass two has the worst one which is eat this horse semen. Yeah. But even then that's like, that still goes into weird fear factor territory. Uh-huh. That's a weird line you're drawing here.

I don't know. I just- Well, he has his likes and dislikes. Yeah. Let's just leave it at that. Likes horse semen doesn't like shit. I don't know why this reminded me of something in P5 but there was one thing I didn't want to say about.

Really? Yeah, I know. You know how Si is like, clearly somebody had to help you with this? Some of those are flimsy as shit. Oh, very much so. Some of those are like hilarious. Insanely loose.

Like, oh really? You're just gonna take? What about like, are you assuming that's the one thing I'm getting out of this? Is every time it like, it pops back to your, you create a new confidant and it pops back to the present and they're like, oh, you couldn't, it's like,

so what do you think he's capable of on his own? Do you think that this main character can do anything for himself because so far- Okay, listen, you don't believe in magic. But, but it's like, it's like, it seems like you've been eating breakfast every day. Clearly someone's been feeding you. You could never have lived on your own.

You know, and then you give an answer that's like, dot, dot, dot. This is like, okay, come on. So the ones that are- What if I'm just good at that thing? So the ones that are really funny is that like, she makes the assumption and she's right because it's about an S-length

but her assumption is completely wrong. Like, the politician. Right. Like, her assumption is dead wrong. It has nothing to do with anything. But it should, but just the fact that it's like, oh, you're really good at speaking. Like, what the fuck?

Like, there's one- What if I'm just good? The one for the fortune teller is like, you couldn't have possibly gotten all this way on luck alone. It's like, shut up! Yeah, man. Shut up!

No, those are getting silly. Lots of people can be lucky enough. Those are getting silly. To get them by. But anyway, all of the jackass. Yeah, all of it. 1.5. 2.5 and 3.5 are also like fucking sad

because it's a bunch of bits that went nowhere because they were, they fucked up or they were too terrified or they were like balling their eyes out. I think you can do that. Yeah, we can't use this. Like, there's one like Preston's apparently really terrified of heights.

I did not know that. And so he has to stand on a porta-potty and he's like shaking so hard and he's like balling his eyes out on top of the porta-potty. And they're like, okay, well, we couldn't do the bit suck. And then they go the next day

and a bunch of drugs later and it's the bit and the bit is terrible. And it's like- He's standing on top of a normal height. He's standing on top of a porta-potty dressed, painted as King Kong and Wee Man's got like in a little dress and they're flying model airplanes at him.

But like the bit is like not like it's not good, but also like I just saw him like run away from the jackass set and cry over this bit. Also, I like it when bad things happen to BAM. Did you watch any of the- I'm sure you would. A lot of people do. Well, all you need to do is look at him

what he looks like today and you'll feel happy, I guess. Oh, did he melt? Yeah. Well, hold on now because either Tony wins or BAM wins. Yes. Which timeline are we on?

I think right now we're on Tony winning. Because is there a possibility that they both lost? Because Tony doing the 900 for the last time is a really sad state of affairs. But he did it. What has BAM done? If he's done stuff, I'm not aware of it. I mean, made a lot of money on his like-

Well- Extra shows and- When was his last show? I have no idea, but I know- Yeah, but he was- Did he have stuff like Wild Boys? No, no, I don't think that's happened anymore. Okay, so BAM isn't part of Wild Boys anyway,

but also BAM was enough to buy multiple Lamborghinis because they kept destroying them. Gotcha. I'm sure they're fine. They're probably fine. And what about those movies? Like, did you include like Bad Grandpa and all that stuff?

Bad Grandpa is not a- Yes, it is. Jackass movie? Yes, it is. Wait, what? It's not called Jackass, but it's the- Oh, it's a Dig House production? Yeah.

It's improv. And it's all improv. In front of real people. In a very borat kind of way. It's the entire movie. He's dressed like I'm thinking of Batsanta. No, not B- No, not B-

Not Batsanta. Not Batsanta. Grandpa. Grab Bampaw is about Johnny Knoxville dressing up as an old man. Dressed up as an old man. As a Grab Bampaw. He's got an old-

And he's with a little kid. Yeah. And they go on various misadventures with no script. So it's a, hey kid, you get this prostitute over next to me. And then everyone's like, oh my, oh word. And it's like happening again in a borat kind of way where it's like real reactions in public or whatever.

So it's technically part of the series. I think getting sober might have killed Jackass. That's, it's part of the Jackass cinematic universe at the very least. And at the same time, not getting sober would have killed Jackass too soon. Yeah, a couple of them anyway. And I'm pretty sure there's a Grab Bampaw 2.5 or 1.5.

I'm sure there's another one. You know. What? I don't know, man. I'm just thinking like- And there's a path that could have happened. Well look, there's the point where you're watching these and you're like, okay,

so we're just gonna keep going until someone dies. And then it's like- Someone dead. And then we're gonna keep going after that. And it's like, mm. Well, it's- Do we need a full party wipe? It's before we actually stop.

It was, I remember watching, I watched one episode of Wild Boys and I couldn't handle it because Wild Boys was Steve-o and Pawneus like actively risking their lives. Fucking with animals, yeah. Like just grabbing a rhino's dick. Yeah. Like, you know-

You've seen what happens. You know, a rhino's like a pretty severe upgrade from a bull, huh, Steve-o? You're aware? No. And there's more than enough like cellphone footage of tigers and fucking monkeys and all kinds of animals just going to town on people.

There's enough warning. There's enough Wild Boys out live on the internet for us. There's enough going on to let you know that maybe this is not the best idea. Yeah, that's pretty much, I putzed around like near and persona, which is super good. Super long.

What'd you think about that? Huh, wow. I fucked that sentence up. I meant, who'd have thought? That's what I meant. Wow, that was a complete failure. But listen, man, I'm not- You've conveyed the basics.

I'm not a perfect man of CQC. I've never said I was a perfect man. Cut to multiple videos where you're like, I'm a perfect man. I am a god. Crazy talk, activate. What's up, what's up, Matt? I'll grab the baton.

Throw the stick at him. Go on, give me the stick. You gotta do a high five. And now you have extra damage. And now I will have gun and item and whatever and just this joke is dead placed all over me. You know the funny part about that joke being super dead? Is that it'll spur people to not make it dead

and make it funny. No, it's that, especially like, what's the deadest version of that joke now? To you, like- The deadest version, just- The Moe one, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's the one that's like,

no matter how many times, it's like, yeah, we, it's retweeted or whatever. And I first saw that before the game even came out here. That's old. And the best part about it is that as dead as that is because people won't stop retweeting it, I'll watch it every time. Every time.

I mean, at the very least- Every time. At the very least, the layer of production- Give him one of these. Like, requires you to watch it. Cause I'm like, it's nicely made at the very least. It is, it is. It should have been a Willy versus video.

Oh, I'm going to, I'm going to my Twitter mentions. There it is. Shabams. Yeah. It's, cause you, I mean, look, who actually checks what someone's retweeted before you tweet at? Never, right?

No one was that. So, you know. I played over the week of the new Overwatch event uprising. That's good. It is quite good. I played the main mode on the easiest difficulty and beat it once after multiple attempts. It's quite hard, but like, you know what you have to do.

And basically, I mean, I'm sure most people know what it is, but in case you guys don't remember, it's basically like multiple- Horde. Different objectives within a Horde mode. So it's like, go to these three points and hack them while like waves of guys come at you, but then go over and defend a payload

and then make that payload go a very short distance, but it's a rough distance. It's like maybe less than a quarter of what a regular payload match is, but they just throw like, it basically Morrison is telling you everything you need to know, even if he's not on your team. You can only pick four people.

And he's like, we got to go to the payload. All right, the dropship, it's given us, there's something wrong with the payload. You got to wait more. And then he's like bastions have now entered the scene. So evil like a null center, whatever the evil Omnic Force terrorist force is like sending bastion models after you.

Can you only choose the cast with the costumes or is it the full cast? You can only, if you want, you can choose only the cast with the costumes, but you can also go into a separate mode, which is you can take anybody. Okay. So there's cannon mode and fantasy mode.

And there's fantasy mode, yeah. So that's what things need. And in terms of like loot boxes and stuff, everything I've earned, I haven't gotten a single costume or anything yet. So I'm like, I want one or two. I'd like tracers or Reinhardt's, but I haven't gotten them yet.

Have you saved up event money to buy them at all? I have not, I have not. Because that I learned. That's the solution. Just save up event money and just buy that. I barely did anything on Chinese New Year or whatever. Or you're the- This is the first one that makes me want to go back

because these kinds of costumes are ones that in my heart, like it's like, I kind of have to, like fucking like Halloween shit and Chinese New Year stuff and stuff like that. But these are cannon costumes. These are like, these are what I would consider real costumes. Plot events.

Yeah. As opposed to- And it's neat because like- Seasons. 76 and Anna already had these costumes. Yeah. They came with them. Yes.

And now it's just like filling in the blanks. The origins like costumes basically. Let me ask you, every time I went back to Overwatch the last time, like two months ago, and I had the situation where I went in and I got fucking blown up. Like just blown the fuck up, like sad. Like it made me depressed.

Well, whatever your question is, I don't really have an answer for it because this mode is like co-op all the way. It's PVE, you're okay. So I have not played one regular match against the other teams. No, because I wanted to- Because I'm having- Because it's a lot of fun this mode.

I'm having the problem that you usually have with a fighting game where you get into it when it comes out and then you drop off and you go back and everybody who's left is freak beasts. And there's no fun to be had anymore. Willie, do you still putz around in Overwatch? It's been a minute, but from time to time,

though I haven't gotten the group together in a little bit. But I think the solution is usually to just make sure you have your crew with you. That's a big part of it. And also a couple of hours in versus AI mode as well. Two to preface. Sure, that'll help.

Hey, you know what it actually helps with? You're aiming. That does. You can always practice your aiming alone by putting on, what was the trick? It was like, you put on, you use Anna because she has no- Put weights on your wrists.

You use Anna and you go into a six, six AIs because she has no headshots and you need to just focus on, or whatever, you put on a thing where like, you just focus on headshotting people. And if you play like McCree or whatever and then just like practice that shit on your own, and that's totally fun to do with AI. So.

Yeah, the speaking of which, I really want those McCree and Genji fucking costumes, but like, yeah, I'm just not getting them. And when you do this mode, shitloads of XP. And if you win, if you win one, you get a loot box off the bat. Yeah, they've definitely kicked up the loot box acquisition trend.

Yeah, that's what it is. You pick McCree and you have all Anna bots, and then you set the custom mode to headshots only. So that no one dies until you land a headshot. That makes sense. And you just get faster and faster and faster at it. Aside from that, I played ukulele on stream a bit. And usually, depending if I stream something,

I just play it casually. And it's like, do I go back to it? Like, that's my kind of- You generally leave that for really special games that you just grab you. Like, I saw you went back to Night in the Woods a couple of times. Yeah, I finished it.

So ukulele, I probably won't be streaming again, but I went back and started playing it a bit more. And when I streamed it, it was like, yep, this is exactly what the Kickstarter said it was gonna be. And if you liked these types of games back in the day, I don't see any reason why anyone would maybe dislike it based on that factor alone.

That, like, this feels old complaint is probably the weirdest one I've ever seen. Yeah, when that's what that was. And I've seen that. I saw that for some of the RPGs that came out. And I bet we'll see it for Bloodstained. Maybe. And stuff like that.

And it's like, what do you fucking think this is? But there's two things I wanna talk about. One is like the script and the characters are just, they're making me laugh, like legit. Like, okay, that was pretty funny. You're having a laugh, mate. Okay, there's- Having a giggle.

The second in command of the evil bad guy force, which is like a billionaire industrialist who might or might not have been called Mr. M before, like Mr. Microsoft. And now he's like, yeah, he's not cause they changed his name slightly. But it's basically like, I'll make you work in my like labs forever.

And everyone's like, and then of course, Platonic or Rare, I just call them Rare, who cares? Would probably be like, no, no, none of that now. None of that that has no, no, no, but- They should have called themselves medium. His second, yeah. His second in command is- Common.

Is a candy dispenser that has a duck inside. This is the most earthworm gym style boss I've ever seen. It's a candy dispenser with wheels. Like, you know, you put a quarter in, get a golf stopper, and it's got a duck inside. His name is Dr. Quack. And I'm like, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.

Yeah, that's pretty good. And he's just like, yeah, I'm kind of a loser. He makes you do a quiz show. I got all 10 questions. I got nine out of 10 questions right. And maybe seven of those questions, I did not see the answer to in the game. I hadn't done that thing to get that answer right,

but I got it right anyway, just cause I was like, they have a horse? I was right for whatever reason, but all the script was really funny. I was telling Pat the other day about two lines specifically where you find this pig that has a bunch of donuts around his belt and he's scarfing donuts. That's his animation.

And you walk up to him and then Laili, the bat goes, all right, you're gonna have a weight based name. Give it to me. And he goes, sir, scarf's a lot. He goes, yeah, that's your name. So sir, scarf's a lot. What quest do you have for me? He's like, get my three friends.

Can you not get your friends? No, I can't, cause then yeah, I need to get them. Then we'll get a pagey at the end of that. And they're like, yeah, maybe, and they're like, fine, I'll do that. And I'm like, okay, okay. That's good. It's pretty self-aware.

I find the Banjo-Kazooie games are like, maybe did hint that a little bit. Banjo-Kazooie nuts and bolts did it a shit load. And this does it three times more. Leans into it. And the other thing is that you go up to a plank of wood. That's just a plank of wood, like a sign in the ground. And he's got Google the eyes.

And he's just going, oh, I'm planker, solve this for me. And then Laylee starts talking and he goes, shut up, golf girl. And I'm like, that's a fucking fire line. He just screams at Laylee the bat, shut up, golf girl. And I'm like, yeah, that's fine. It made me laugh. That's good.

And then I found Shovel Knight in the game, which was fun. Nice. And he's just like, I hate this awful dimension. He's stuck in. Right, right, right. I don't like this movement. Yeah, yeah, the z-axis. And he gives you a little side quest.

And it's very basic, but it was fun. And then you see him off or whatever. The actual neat thing that I'm really interested about this game is that I didn't know, I guess in the Kickstarter, is that once you get enough pages, jiggies, whatever. They're like, okay, so do you want to unlock a new world? It's like, yes, of course I did.

What, why would you ask? No, would you rather expand the one you're in? Oh. So for a smaller fee, you can go back to the world and build it more. So when you go into worlds, they're kind of underwhelming at first where I just got to the end of something and just like, it just kind of petered off.

And I was like, eh, that's kind of ugly or whatever. But I just like whatever, it's a minor thing. And then when you build that world up again, it gets bigger and bigger and now it's like massive and now it's more fleshed out. There's other characters are added. And I'm like, that's pretty neat. Cause do you want to maximize this one world

and do it that way? Or do you want to just like unlock all the worlds and then go through? See more bright. And when I streamed it, I was just kind of like, yeah, I wish I had this move. I wish I had that move. I'm not able to access there.

That kind of sucks. But if you get over that little hump and you're like, you get two more moves, then it's like, oh shit, now I can do everything. Now I can, cause one of Yuka's powers is like, if you lick something up with your tongue, your body takes the property of whatever that was. Like a chameleon, you know, like becoming whatever that is.

Absorb in it. So it's like, you become a fire one. You can resist heat. You become, there's cannonballs. And if you become a cannonball, you become unmovable. You walk by yourself, but like wind can't push you. So when you start doing all that shit, it starts, you know, kinda really opening up and being fun.

I will say though, that there are little bits of like that could like use a bit of polish. Like going over to under a platform, there's a little bit of a lip that you can't even notice, but it actually blocks you from jumping up. And it's like, it's not noticeable. And it fucks up your timing. There's mine cart levels that don't control all that well.

The camera's far too zoomed in. It's like, cause you go in this and you're like, I'm gonna play a Donkey Kong 64 or a Donkey Kong country style mine cart level. And it's 2D and then it just, it doesn't control the same. And it just like, it doesn't feel as good. Those are like the minor things and like the little multiplayer games that you unlock

that you kind of maybe not required, but you play single player first to get you some, they're not fun and single player. If you have four people, which you can do, I'm sure they're more fun. But I was just like, that's all, I'm gonna not do those or whatever. But other than that, I was having,

I was having, you know, a good deal of fun with it. Aside from that. Can I combo break you? Sure. For a sponsor. For a sponsor. Ooh, of course. Dell gaming creates machines

Basically what it is, is Netflix for horror movies only. And I've- Did you invent this company? No, but it started- Are you a majority shareholder? It started advertising to me specifically, where like the last couple of times I've ever been on Facebook,

because I barely am. Jesus Christ. I just saw an ad saying, Shutter, a horror movie streaming service. And I'm like, yes, tell me more, Mr. Shutter. So I go over there and basically there's no, there's an app for it. I can't find it.

Like there's no Xbox one app that I can find. Basically you have to go to shutter.com and for five bucks, just streaming service for tons of movies, old, new, foreign. It's the only place I found Kayako versus Sadako, the ring versus the grudge. Okay. Is it Shutter or Shutter?

Shutter. Shutter with these. Yeah, Shutter. Oh, I thought you were saying Shutter. S-H-U-D-D-E-R. Like that of a camera. Okay, okay. And I've watched like a good-

No, not like that of a camera. That's a Shutter. No, that's a Shutter. Shutter is- He's saying Shutter with these. Shutter is, there's a new David Cage game out, Shutter. Mass Effect, a drama to Shutter, you know.

And I watch about a dozen things on it and it's like it's more consistently a better streaming service so far than Netflix. Like I haven't had any issues with it, no dropped anything. Just flawless streaming so far in good quality. Well, now that you've plugged it, it's gonna get popular and you're gonna shit it all up.

But does it have content that you wanna watch? Yes, it does. Like I said, Kayako versus Sadako is the only place like legally I think right now because it's not even out on DVD. So I watch, that'll lead me into, I saw that. Okay. That's fucking dumb and terrible.

I loved it. All right, so I- The entire premise is how do we get these two premises to function in the same room? I don't know, man. I saw that baseball pitch. That's all I saw. That baseball pitch?

They came out and had a promotional event. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right. They did. So I have a question. Yes. Because this is a very stupid concept for a movie but I'm into it. It is.

And in Freddy versus Jason, about two thirds, two quarters of the movie is Freddy and Jason killing up some teens. And then the teens trick Freddy and Jason into fighting each other. I'm going to assume, because I can't stand movies that go something versus something and then those things

never actually fucking clash, right? Because that's horrible. Do they clash? They do. All right, then I'm gonna watch this fucking garbage. And it goes in a place that's like, what, I don't understand. Like it goes crazy with the concept.

Now, how do you go crazy with the concept of too slow moving? I kill alive people, ghosts. What versus movies don't have the clash of the thing in them? I don't know. Like as you said, you can't stand it, but I'm like, what, I'm sure there's some. Frost versus Nixon.

I saw Kramer versus Kramer. The people versus Larry Flint. In comic books, versus means we'll clash for a second, but then we got to fight a greater battle. You know what, I'm up. You know what? That's as close as... You're right.

Those movies don't exist. I'm thinking of what Matt's talking about. Comic books. I'm thinking of comic books and anime shows. Anime shows, yeah. So stuff like that. But like this was like really fun. Like again, it's $5 a month.

There was lots of stuff. There's a lot of great little foreign things. Like I think from France. I think a lot of stuff from Sweden, whatever. Those just really good stuff. And that lead me into, I also saw The Void, which is an American, sorry, Canadian horror movie. Yeah, yeah, very Canadian.

How Canadian? Knives Chow from Scott Pilgrim is in this movie. And she like, I don't know how old she was when she did Scott Pilgrim, but she must have been like young because now it's like she looks different. She looks older like a little bit. Like I wasn't sure how, what her age was.

When I was like, oh, she grew up. She grew up a little bit. So basically The Void is just like a kind of cosmic horror Cthulhu-esque movie where it's prosthetic effects. I think I saw one CG shot maybe. And it's just, we're stuck in a hospital and there's bad shit going on outside and also inside the hospital.

We got to survive. Kind of a bad spot we're in right now. It's a tight spot. I really enjoyed it. I said in a brief Twitter thing that I was just like, could've used a bit more plot, a little bit more backstory. I don't need the entitlements.

A little too much ambiance. It's a little vague for me where I'm like, I could've used someone saying something because when the last minute or two minutes of your movie is in silence and it's just kind of using visuals, I'm like, yeah, I just need a little, someone talk for just a minute

so I can really understand what's going on. Now you've brought back the Cenobites. Something like that. Not really though. Yeah, it does have a very hellraiser type, hellraiser mouth of madness type thing. I saw a screen shot of one monster and he looked just like one of the,

not Pinhead, but one of the other Cenobites. Yeah, I think I know which one you mean. It was really, really good. So I recommend it. I don't know what, I watched it on iTunes. It's in some theaters somewhere, but I really enjoyed it. So yeah, that was me.

That one I would actually really like to watch. Yeah, the void is good. Fucking evil triangles though. So was there no, was there no like third, like long haired, lame-er Japanese ghost that showed up that they both have to fight? That had been awesome. You know what, you know what would have been great

if they just dunk on Samara. None that are in a franchise. None that are in a franchise. Like there's other Japanese horror movies, like One Miss Call, which is also a long haired ghost girl. And there's a bunch, but like they're not recognizable. That's like Freddy versus Jason versus Jeeper Creepers. Freddy versus Jason versus Candy Man.

Don't you dare say midnight meat train. No. There's like six Candy Man. Was it the bye-bye man? The bye-bye man. No, the pee-pee-poopoo man. That's his other name, the bye-bye man, yeah. Okay, Freddy versus Jason versus Slender Man.

Slender Man just staring at you and they're like, you're not kids. Freddy versus Jason.com, fear.com. Oh my God, you know fear.com? Fear.com. Freddy versus Jason versus Silence, which was an evil puppet. And its DVD cover was a puppet going shh.

And that's it. Freddy versus Jason unfriended. Then there's the comic Freddy versus Jason versus Ash. Sure. Which is awesome. Sure, I imagine. Anyway. But that bleeds into like cool, fun, horror.

Not really. If you connect. If Freddy versus Jason is dumb. If you connect enough dots, that's like Jason versus Batman versus the Predator versus. Who put the scar in Spawn's face? Yes.

Oh my God. It's, I feel like. Wait, who did? Batman. Batman. Batman put the scar that Spawn had to sew up with his shoe? Yeah, batterang right down the middle. Yeah.

Shit. Even I know that. Yeah, talk about that. Spawn versus Batman. Okay. I feel like I can't get away from someone springing up that fucking Spawn comic. Who showed up in Soul Calibur?

Who showed up? He can play the game all day. You know, we can do this. I got a whole, I got a whiteboard at home. Capwulf. And not to mention that. Remember Captain America was a werewolf. The Mortal Kombat connection.

Becky, you need to come in and fucking add to my whiteboard. The Mortal Kombat connection with Freddy. And then you've got the Soul Calibur connection with Spawn and you can just go, you can go to town with that. You can. Cause then, cause.

No one can stop you. Cause Spawn is rumored to be in, maybe in a future Injustice game. Spawn, Injustice, Scorpion was in Injustice. Therefore, Mortal Kombat. I don't want to be in this multiverse anymore. No, it's too late.

Superman and Yoda are in the same universe. As fucking Detective Munch. And you know what, it always stops that. We always play this game, but it never gets any better than John McLean. Like, that is always the best one. Why John McLean? Cause John McLean exists in the second universe.

Always the best one. Which means that Kiryu could hang out with Carl Winslow and Urkel. Okay, that one, now you lost me. Okay, in Die Hard 1. Carl Winslow. Carl Winslow, the overweight black cop in LA. Actually Carl Winslow.

Yeah, he moved or whatever. Shut up. Is it just the same actor? Fuck off, it doesn't work. Shut up, fuck you, it doesn't work. It's the same actor. It's a different character. No, no, no, no, no.

I don't, I don't accept that. I'm talking, there's no need to bring non-cannon in when we can get enough good that is official. It's actually John McLean. There's no reason why we can't do that. That's great. I really like the next Injustice. You saw the like Poison Ivy Cheddar

for a full Injustice 2 trailer. I want next week to be like, Injustice 2, every battle defines you. Tin tin. Shows up. I mean. I gotta say. I want French Bondesinae in the Jaffas.

I don't like Hajj or a Haigre, whichever. Yeah, whatever, he's dead though. He's the author. It doesn't matter. And I don't think Detective Comics picked up his brands. Why not? Because it makes it a buddy on its own.

He's got strikers. You can get Captain. I gotta say, I've been watching those Injustice trailers and like, maybe this is because I don't read comics at all, but like a bunch of those trailers. More than any other comic based game I've ever seen who the fuck is that guy? Yeah.

Like just, are, am I unknown or are these like actual Z-Listers? No, it's just every DC hero has a stable of villains like Batman does and you know. The only guy I actually don't know is Dr. Cold. Yeah. Who it's his name? Cold, Captain Cold.

Captain Cold, he's a guy with a jacket and a freeze gun. Don't know much. And all I can think of is, we can't put Mr. Freeze in because we already have too many Batman guys. But then, why not just keep Killer Frost from the last game? Why do you need another Cold person?

Anyway, whatever. It's fine. I mean, look, they came up with move lists for Superman. Swamp thing is in it. That's all I care about. Swamp thing is cool. Yeah, that's good.

I like Swamp thing. They need more Vertigo guys. Thank Alan Moore. I agree. I think that's the way to go. If I thank Alan and Constantine. That'd be a fun way to go. If I thank Alan Moore,

do I have to thank his weird snake god? He doesn't care if you do, but is he still into that? I bet he's not, dude. When I talked about, that was old when I talked about it years ago. He probably gave up on it. I'm on a scorpion god now.

I'm thinking maybe just. Yeah, I'm on a scorpion god kick. Maybe the Stinger. Or a scorpion death god. Some guy told me that his foundation lies in the holy mountain. So apparently, I'm trying to find out what that's about.

I don't know the demons coming until he's come a calling. You know, there's knocking your door. It's probably the demo. Predator shows up at Alan Moore's cave and he's like, yeah, finally. All right, let's go. Yeah, all right.

I finally got one of you guys. All right, great. Okay. Well, let's do some news, huh? Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Alan Moore.

Boop, boop, boop, boop. No. You think Alan Naked. Do you think Alan Moore bought a switch? Yes. God, just a spit on it. I'm excited for the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen game on the switch.

That thing's selling. Dude, Alan Moore could be amongst 2.4 million people. So to put it in context, this crushes how fast the Wii sold. The Wii or Wii U? The Wii. Well, it crushed the Wii U first. So then you got a thing. Yeah, but I crushed that.

Yeah. I put out a product. 2.4 million sold of the Nintendo Switch in the debut month. This thing's hot cakes like no cakes have ever been hot to game busters. The only thing hotter than the switch itself is what? Is Breath of the Wild,

which has an attach rate of 102%. So there are more owned copies of the game than there are consoles. I don't understand why some people are confusing. I don't get it. Like so many people try to get a switch, couldn't get one. I understand.

No, no. I know you did, but other people seem to be confused. I'm like, they went to the store to buy a switch. No, get out of here. We don't have them. But we have copies of Breath of the Wild. So more people just wound up buying that thing.

I'll get that and then wait for the switch to come out and then I'll get it. Very easy. An attach rate in the positives is always, always a really good thing. That's absurd. I've never heard of it. Always a really good thing.

Yes. You know what? And it's sold OK on the Wii U. It's sold like 400,000 copies. Yeah. That's pretty good. It's pretty good. I have a, oh by the way, guys,

there's a, my local pharmacy has a secret video game section and there's a switch just sitting right there. It's not secret. That's been out there for a while. Well, OK, if you know anybody who still wants one, I can get that. Every time I'm desperate for like a peripheral, go to a pharmacy.

I just run to a pharmacy. Dude, dude, you want to see some poverty? I don't know how long it's been since you last been there. Go to Captain Quebec. Now they have a game section. Shut up. Oh, that's bad. OK.

Captain Quebec means one of our comic book stories. That is our, that is our like, yeah, comic book story, one of the main ones, downtown Montreal. As a compliment, they remodeled the entire place. Nice wood floors everywhere. It's quite nice and they even have like a TV running with like Star Wars playing or whatever.

But in the back, in the side, there's a couple of games that are just hanging out. Well, I feel bad and I want to go through my collection and say what games have we or absolutely will never be returning to that are like superhero games. Like, will we ever be playing that fucking Green Lantern game on the 360 again? Hell, no, we're not.

I'm going to guess hell, no, we're not. So I'll just shove it like, here you go. Take them. I feel bad. Yeah, I feel bad, too, because here's the thing. I've seen this happen. This is probably the third time I've seen it happen. And it's comic book shops. I've never known any comic book shop here in Montreal

to be in a healthy, ongoing state. They've always been in some sort of decline. Some sort of struggle. And the initial one that I used to go to what they did to fight it off was they introduced half an hour to an hour long game section in the back as well. Oh, no, you don't play. No, I know.

I know. I know. But I'm saying I've seen different games at different stores handle it differently. One place did that. They set up booths and they're like, hey, after school, come play with your friends, whatever. And they had the first Dreamcasts and stuff and whatnot.

So they were very early on it. Get foot traveled to the store. And they had people coming in to do that. The other place that I knew, they leaned hard into cards. And they became the place where people would come to do card battling, to do magic and stuff. And basically, cards ended up taking up

more than half of the store. That's too much. Uh-oh. I accidentally discovered another business that's more profitable than mine. And it's foot traffic. Exactly. People are coming in to play, eat, and leave.

The saddest one. And then they got to buy new decks. Well, not a comic book store. The saddest transformation is our local anime store is no longer an anime store. It's an airsoft store with a small anime section. Now, to be fair, to be fair, Lou, the guy who runs it, has been doing that stuff.

And he's been doing airsoft and spray paint classes and things like that and whatnot. And he's been getting into that on the side. But now it's the main thing. Now he's just rolled it in. Wait, isn't that the guy that never built your Gundam? He built it eventually. OK.

After seven years. Nine. And it was really nice. How did that break down? You just go up to him and it was like, dude, I saw his store travel to three different locations. And each time he'd show up in a different neighborhood, I'd be like, hey, how's it going, man?

What's up? Still got that? I was like, yeah, I got it. I'm like, OK, what's going on there? I was like, ah, I'm getting married, buying a house. I'm like, cool. Childs. You good at it?

He's like, yeah, eventually. You saw his life go through phases. I did. In the wait for this Gundam. I did. But when I got it, was it worth it? It was really, really nice. You did a good job.

Nine years is too much, but it was worth at least five. It was worth a story on a protest that you're going to have 10 years later. At least five years. Because there's the point where you're like, I don't even care if I get it anymore. The value isn't asking you for it. And you're saying and lying that you're going to get to it.

No. That's the fun part. Dude, it's got a matte finish and battle damage. It's really nice. But yeah. It became a fucking running gag at that point. So yeah. Yeah.

Common bookstores with. They all are in a state of decline. Everyone I've known and they have to choose which path to survive. And it's always trying to cannibalize or become a different type of store. The one health you want to cross from Captain Quebec. An astro. Astro.

Ah, fuck them. But here's the thing is, well, sure. But they've been OK because they're a bookstore. Yeah, they have a comic section. And that's how they manage to survive. But I do suggest to go in here at least once because the middle section that had the single issues, it's really, really nice. They have way more stuff there now.

It's like it was pretty good. I bought some stuff. Why you got beef with astro? What? Why you got beef with astro? Because they fucking shortchanged me on one of the comics I was selling. The Thor issue. Yeah.

They're like, give you 60 bucks. Fuck you. Because of the selling thing. Yeah, that sucks. And they took it into a back room. Did you go to the back room? No, they wouldn't let me in the back room. Because in the back room, there's an old guy.

And he's yeah, there's this fucking. Yeah, it's like that weird game of thrones. He's in the tree. He's in the tree. It's a tree guy. Yeah, yeah. And he looks at it with his third eye. Because I was when I was trying to set up Canada Cup Montreal.

They hate that whole thing. I had to go back there and I had to talk to them. And they had a whole thing. And like there's the old lady that runs in the front. She's very nice. She's a very pleasant lady. Right. Then there's the youngest guy.

Give another lady because the one lady I got wasn't nice. OK, well, there's a nice old lady that I've always encountered. Sure. Then there's the there's the guy that's just out of fucking the Simpsons, right? Who's like, you know, Chubby knows comics. I haven't seen him. He's there for the comic business.

Last time I was there, there was a young girl. There was the old lady. That's OK. Then it's been it's been years. It's been. But then in the back was the tree was goddamn bloodraven. You know what I mean? The third of the third eye and he's hooked up and that dude,

he's like in a corner and he doesn't move. He doesn't move. And like any serious business decisions have to be made by him. And if you get close, his eyes are milky white. And I remember when I was probably blind. So we were trying to get them as a sponsor for this tournament. And like I had to approach and kneel and present my gifts and offerings to get to try and sell the pitch.

You know, yeah. So that's the guy that would be deciding the price in the end. OK, you you're not you're probably not going to believe this. But before you said tree man from from Game of Thrones, I was going to make that same joke. I know, I heard you. Yeah. You heard it rumbling. I know, yeah.

There's only one comparison when you see this guy because it's a small room barely wide enough for him. There's a certain quality of when someone beats you to it and there's a certain quality to the tone of voice. We go, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like it is very clear. That's exactly what I didn't think. I didn't think you'd get it. It's like you enter a Contra level two hallway.

Yeah, and he's just the wall at the end of the hall and you just speak to him and he just makes a gesture and and then you interpret that as you will, you know. OK. It's like you have to join his covenant. It's like speaking to a goddamn Dark Souls. But you know, and you think don't break that covenant. No, man. And there's like this cup on the floor

and you have to put something in there. How many souls are you carrying? Anyway, dude, yeah, that's a must have value, you know, and that's across the street from from our comic store that we know. So, you know, I heard of you sagas out there, so I got to jump on. I got it. I bought it. Yeah, fuck. But then I want something better. The first volume of the clone saga.

God, do my homework. See, like the comic stores could also open up a saga section. Well, there is. And because that's in the indigo book store. Saga always has its own little because that moves. That moves. They know it does. I move, you move just like that. Apparently, that's the only apparently it's one of the only like things

that you can that the comic stores can rely on right now. I think so. I think so. And I think there's traits for we stand on guard, which I got to get because I dropped off the singles. We have a strong feeling that comics are on right on that cusp of an industry that may not justify a full store for them. If you're telling me that every comic

place you know is like in a flock. Well, because the other thing is like, why do I go here when I can take out any of my devices and download the thing in one. That is also that's the main thing. And never miss a lot of like niche geek trades go that way. You know, cards until like when you talk trading cards, not even like game card, like not magic, not

Yu-Gi or anything like that or Pokemon. You just had baseball cards. Yeah, baseball cards are now digital. You know what I mean? That's weird. That used to be a thing, right? And eventually that business died out and everyone. What the fuck am I supposed to do? I suppose to put my tablet or my phone in the spokes of my bike.

Right. What do you know? Who knows, right? Yeah. The most like, yeah, you that's coming for your rookie Babe Ruth. Yeah, throw it in the spokes and make it bend up and fucking ruin it. That's what kids want to do. So, yeah, that happens. That's normal. And then you just have to grab the next thing. You know, I think

I think I think the video games thing is like, yeah, that's an industry that's proven to be around. So, you know, I understand it. I mean, yeah, I guess in Toronto, they've got a whole FGC section in the corner. They do. They do. You know, and then the other thing, the other thing you do, you know, the other thing you do is you either introduce lots of clothes, right? They do. Or you introduce tons of statues and toys and like, you know, which which they do.

Now that I think of it, they have a huge, they have a huge expanded statue section. Now they have they have a six foot tall Deadpool statue that's way too muscular. Right. You're kind of weird. And then you just become the specialty store for all that. Yeah, you're now that I think of it. Hot topic. Your description of the comic book

store reminds me a lot of GameStop, where it's become GameStop is now 90 percent clothes like clothes and fucking pop. You got to get pay the rent, man. You got to pay the rent. You see no one in the game section. You see everyone in the Funko Pop wall of the clothes. Yeah, basically. Going to buy this Suicide Squad backpack.

It sucks, because like now the the GameStop, when I do have to go in there, usually for controllers, it's always crowded. And it's funny because they're getting into the business that we're seeing other game businesses struggle as brick and mortar is exclusive to that thing. So like the more things your store has, the better chance you have. And if one picks up, then you can just give it more real. Well, if you just sold drugs.

I mean, you could. I'm sure the old tree creature does. Yeah. I think you just have to stand in his presence and inhale. And that's good enough. Oh, that's some old stink. So in conclusion, one of his flaps and you gain insight. So in conclusion, the we the switch sold a lot.

Oh, God, I got really I got really confused and thought you were going to say an in conclusion. The switch is a land of contrast. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, I don't know if you guys can't which Nintendo calls maze. Oh, I'm getting confused. Super.

They're fucking state. Super great story from last week. Smash player Hungrybox challenge pizza delivery guy to a hundred dollar money match loses. It was fucking great. The title of this article is pretty, pretty great. So the guy Hungrybox was streaming and what ended up happening was basically while they were delivering pizza.

He while delivering while the guy was delivering pizza and they were streaming and whatnot, Hungrybox was playing smash and had casuals going and the pizza guy hears Melee in the background. He's like, oh, shit. And then they're like, what? Invite him in. Invite him in. He has pizza and they invite the pizza guy in, right?

And then eventually he kind of he's like, OK, what's going on over here? And they actually get him to sit down and they're like, OK, we know he's on the clock. So they're like, OK, we'll give you a hundred dollar tip money. That's right. This guy, right? And he's like, sure, whatever. And then, of course, it's like it's fucking wrecked by drunk Hungrybox.

It's a fucking hustle. It's a hustle, you know, and he's the guy's like are hustling this motherfucking dominoes. But then they're you know, and then he's like, OK, OK, let's do another set and you get to pick my character. No, that's not. No. And then he's like a jigglypuff. Oh, the fuck play.

Oh, no. Oh, no. And the guys were like the dominoes. You know, literally, literally a dominoes delivery guy, you know, it's see, I don't know how I feel about that because that is like, it's great. That's bordering on theft. But he didn't have to agree to that money match.

No, but it was it was it was a money match as much as it was a like win a hundred dollars for beating me lose and you lose time. Yeah, that's it. Well, is it not any and you not for a pizza? No, well, he gave him the pizza anyway, which they paid for and he lost and they gave him a day. Oh, OK. I think they tipped him 20 bucks, you know, but then it's win win for everybody.

It's win win. I could just stomp on the pizza man and and it looked big, but it's fucking great. So the the real evolution here is that really good smash players should dress up as pizza. Yes. And come in the other. Yeah, yeah, that's the natural evolution of this. It's like a piece this year. Is that Mewtwo King is what I don't know.

Puts on a fake mustache with the Groucho Mark glasses. Oh, that's fucking. Now, this is the kind of smash story. You son of a bitch. Come back here, you motherfucker. That's pretty good. What are fucking melee players going to do when like because I was reading up on people on melee players going around doing the fucking classic

CRT Thursday night like garbage drive, right? You know, you drive around, you look to see people throughout their CRTs. What are they going to do when like melee is just like not. Available to hook into crap. I mean, I don't know what that means. They're going to cut. They're going to have the things they need for the hookup forever.

Yes, that's how this works until they all degrade. Do I need to remind you that super tournament, a super turbo tournament still happened at Evo? I assume they use some form of arcade or ported version. They have cabs. Yeah, they're arcade. If it's not like as long as you can plug into a wall outlet, you can play Smash Melee.

I don't understand what you're saying. I think what you're thinking of some weird time jump future. I think you're thinking of like a Mad Max style. Yeah, we're like all technology stops. No, like they're going to keep using the things they have. My brain went, what are they going to do when they run out of Gamecubes? Where did the Gamecubes go? They did great over time.

It's a Gamecube. It'll last longer than most things. What are you saying? What do you follow through on your thought here? It's the one system that will probably still be working. There's points are being made. And if not, then they'll like, let's say we go way far forward. They'll probably run a perfect emulation of it.

But they'll never switch to a new game. Or they'll use DJZ Maid's Mod, which is the only official supported mod of the Melee community. Everyone 100 percent agrees it needs to be replacing the official. You're asking us what happens when the black box that is the Gamecube will break? Dude, look, the Nintendo is old. What do we do when we want to play Zelda and Mario?

After it's been it's been so many years. What do we do? Like you make no sense. You're silly. What's not silly is what the awesome. I bet the story is, in fact, actually silly. No, it's kind of just cool. I can't remember that.

I mean, let me get there. Let me get there. I want to know if just stop playing Melee. If you've been one of the few that hasn't had a chance to play Bayonetta yet for some reason, you should go do that on your PC. Or if you if you had a PS3 for most of your life, you owe it to yourself. Yeah, you can do that now. Or even a 360.

So yeah, this version is quite good. Go play Bayonetta on PC for Steam because it's now out and available. Yay. And cheap. And yeah, extremely cheap. Where was that? Like twenty dollars in the U.S. and twenty four.

I can't. That's a dirt cheap. But that's that's pretty. That's exactly what the game should be costing. Right about now. Right. Like I'm shocked at Sega's actual good pricing on it. If you and again, like I think, you know, you had the opportunity to grab it with Bayo two as well and all that stuff.

But again, if somehow you dodged it for all this time, go grab it. So this both like is awesome and is amazing, but also stings. Because now I'm frustrated by the the now I've become one of those people about the Bayo two of like, well, when's that going to and the answer? I know the answer is never. Yeah, the answer is never. But like now it like really sucks. Because who paid for this?

Yeah, because the second who paid for that? Who paid for this? No, for that Nintendo. So it's like it's just it's odd that like the pre the fucking prequel comes out. And maybe the the sequel will if that ever happens. But the second one is just locked down forever. It's a weird situation.

It is. It is. But what you know, it takes games are a weird business. You know, it takes that sting away. You know, what Sega has total control over. And they wish that's that's that that'll take that sting right the fuck. Yeah, no, more exciting than the actual part of the game is the idea that platinum is now making PC stuff, which is great. Well, I mean, they've been doing so for a while

with Metal Gear Rising Revengeance and Nero Automata. They're going back to different publishers. Let me let me rephrase that. They're going back to old games and they're porting them. That's exciting. I think that's more on Sega than platinum also. Yeah, that's cool. So Yakuza and Virtua Fighter on the PC.

Come on. The Dead or Alive is already on. Oh, you don't do that to me. Hey, man, set me up, then. I there's a PC copy of Virtua Fighter 2 that I played. God, I just realized when fucking VF6, if it ever gets announced, you're going to just make me cry by like, oh, that's a good look in Dead or Alive clone. No, I can't do that. No, no, no, that's too much.

No, he's going to do it. But I'm confident of Virtua Fighter Six will never be announced. Oh, now you've planted the Claymore yourself. Never strong. Never. You've planted the Claymore yourself, sir. Now you're going to run back over it and it's facing the wrong way. But I didn't have to do anything. I like Virtua Fighter.

Well, Play Dead or Alive. He's not wrong. Not wrong. He's, in fact, right. But Wolf isn't in it. That's true. But you know what Wolf is in. I'd love a She-Wolf. You know what Wolf is in?

What was Wolf? That's that Sega Saturn fighting ridiculous wrestling game. Yeah, we played that. We did. WrestleMania. Yeah, we did. Yeah. Rattling, featuring Virtua. There you go. That's what that's called. Yeah, we play that.

So you can go. Jeffrey. So you can go get your fix. Oh, my God. Camille looks just like that guy in Persona 5. Look at him. Yeah, he's pretty close. And the other bit of Cool Bayo News, since this is what was being teased last week, is something that took a while.

But thank God it's finally here. I'm excited for it anyway. It's it's it's Ami Booboo's Ami Booboo's. Ami Booboo's. Why did that? Why did that? Damn it. You almost instantly in saying it that way, rewrote it in my brain.

Ami Booboo's. Ami Boos. I don't know how to buy Ami Booboo's anymore. I don't know where to go. So I just just ask Liam to buy the boy. So I was about to say, I asked Liam. I was like, Liam, I want these Ami Ami Booboo's. My can you give me both Bayo's

and all three of those link reissues? I don't care about cloud or the Fire Emblem. My trick. My trick has been to wait till I go to a con and then just pay an overpriced thing. I just have Liam get you Ami Booboo. I you're right. Gain more scorn towards the Ami Booboo every day.

I don't like them. OK. The Bayo ones look really nice and I'm happy that better get them fast before they get canceled and never ever get reissued ever again because fuck you. I wish that Chinese thing was readily available. Which one? Chinese thing. That could mean anything.

Yeah. The only the only Chinese thing we talk about when we talk about Ami Boos. The spoofer. Ah, the spoofer. The R4 for Ami Boos. Yes. I just want a cool little Bayo figure. You know what I'd want more than a.

You know what I'd want more than a real Ami Bo bootleg Ami Bo. I'm sure they like a hard bootleg shirt that shows up on the bootleg Twitter. Yeah, like bootleg. I want to buy everything off that fucking Twitter. That cracks me the fuck up. It's it makes me happy. I'm glad I'm resubbing of that Twitter account. You unfollowed.

Yeah. Why? That's weird because I was falling. You don't have joy in your life. I was following like seven. You know the answer to that one. I was following like seven novelty accounts. And like I just scroll and scroll. It's like every single one of these is bullshit.

Fair enough. Well, anyway, I need to get to super bunny. Yeah, playing about Zelda. I did. I did unfollow like Emo Kylo Ren and some other stuff. Yeah, that's that was one of the first ones. It's like that was that. That's time. Yeah, I did.

God bless Nendo versus Funko. Yes. Because that's a real that's a really important thing that needs to be out there. The other Ami Boos is that they're alongside the Bayo and cloud stuff. And Fire Emblem. They're also putting out the three limited link. Yeah, those are the ones I want. Majora's Mask, Twilight and Skyward.

Oh, those are the ones I want. Super worth watching this Twitter again. Yeah, which are going to go hand in hand with the costumes being available in Breath of the Wild. Good. I think those were leaked, apparently. Like I think they people looked at Breath of the Wild files and saw that these were going to I can.

Oh, yeah, there's there's there's daddy is in there. And first day and then you can die all of them. So before Breath of the Wild came out and people were digging through the files, they saw like 40 versions of First Lady. Fuck. And we're like, what the fuck is in this game? Well, it comes out with a new series called Back in. Breath of the Wild. Redo the whole thing is first day.

Oh, God, get my green screen. Let's go. I think that even the fucking sword is in it. The double helix. Yeah, it is. I think it's all those costumes are a massive pain. And he has to upgrade. They all require the shooting star. I thought you were leaving to go home and start.

I thought you're like getting your shit on. Take more of your clothes off, boy. You should have really taken your headphones off before. No, it's fine. That was poorly done. It's fine. Look, look how amazingly done it was. OK. What else? Yeah, that's just your 23rd.

Well, I'm getting there. Now, now all of this was announced as part of that Nintendo Direct, which was great. Yeah. So remind us of what that awesome feature was again, because I forgot when you first mentioned it about this direct. Oh, the way that they did the bullet points with this fucking scrolling table of contents like this scrolling rapid fire thing. So I watched.

I didn't watch the direct, but I watched the individual news bits from it. No, the format helps. You not know what we're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. So so they go, OK, here's the direct. And there's a list of like 10 items to this graphic. That shows a table of contents and what they're going to do the little news bit. And then it would it would slide off and the list would slide back up.

That's really smart. And it would go so fast, not enough time since it's on a stream. It's like, I can't next time. I'll catch it. I saw something there. So the fun part was like at the bottom, like all the titles were kind of not that obvious. Yeah. Where were the where the was the table of contents obscured somehow?

No, but the the titles themselves were not. It wasn't like Mario Kart announcement. It was like, start your engines. OK. And so sometimes you'd see one. You go, what is that? In case you want to stick around. You play you play a little like excited. Guess what could it be?

Which you love. Yes, I love this extra pocket of like, what's happening? Yeah, I can figure this out. Yeah, they know how to they know how to get you with that. I saw the one that come I was something about like a battle. Well, what? Battle Chasers Night War coming out for it, which is awesome, because I'm like, since I played that at Pax, I'm like this lends itself very well for like portable play.

If I'm like, you know, leaving somewhere, I'm like, oh, I can just do a few battles of Battle Chaser and then just, you know, pack it up and it's fun. It doesn't seem like a very portable game. It's an RPG, but like the way it works is wander around this little like map that's kind of like like a board game map. Yeah. And just go in, do a few battles. You can just pick and choose to do your shit.

Well, I mean, I was going to say, but neither was really Zelda. And you just sleep and you're done. Like it doesn't matter, you know, but fuck, that game looks great. And I'm happy that's getting ported. That's good. So, you know, the big the big one of the two big things was arms, of course. So the arms extended trailer showed up and we got a release. Yeah, exactly. Extended. Yeah. Yeah, that's correct.

Like your arms. June 16th is the release date. And that's nice and fast. I love one of the things they showed off was a new to V2 as well. V2 is cool. That's fun. That's fun. To be to look like a mess. I don't like. Yes, it's amazing. Yeah, it's clearly not the mode.

I'm going to care about them as much, but it's nice that it exists. Yeah. And the new character, whose name I forget. But it's Min Min. Min Min. Yeah, the noodle girl looks really fun. Mixing and matching your arm types is a thing. All that looks dope. I didn't realize there were there was those like defensive like deflection.

Yeah, everyone has some type of defensive thing. Didn't know that was a thing. That was really cool for her. She kicks them out of her double jump. Yeah, man. I just hope that they announced some type of decent little single player thing. It doesn't have to be Mortal Kombat X story mode, but I just hope there is like a little bit of probably going to be a basic

tournament thing, right? With all these crowds to be watching stages and this I really televised idea. Like I'm sure there's going to be a really, really want some kind of story thing where like I get to see these people try and live their daily lives with these fucking nightmare arms. Yeah, I wonder what the deal is with them, actually, because the people in the crowd are totally human beings.

Are these human beings? Mechanica. No, they're all clones. Really? I mean, what? They're clones. All all of the main arms characters, except for Mechanica. If you look at their profiles, they're all they all have spirals in their eyes. They're robots. They're clones or robots or cyborgs.

Mechanica is human because I piloting a Mac. I was going to I was going to say, you can see her piloting the body. You look up at everyone that actually has freakish, weird arms. They're all weird constructs. OK, so they're robots. They're robots. OK. The robots are clones or whatever. That's fine. OK.

So then there is no living their normal lives. Oh, because I want to see I want to see them like trying to eat like cereal and just their newly arms just failing them. But if they can start out their arms, they can just put regular, like, don't be like rubber hands. That's just fucking face plant into your food. Yeah, just legato blue summers it and just throw your head at it. Do your best.

They also I told you a bit about this a few days ago, Willie, but they also some Neo Geff posters found like, you know, graphics hidden within this presentation. Plunge more characters for the other characters. Yeah, where was that? Was that like that was just on a trailer analysis. OK, that's just like this guy, this guy, this guy. So there's like another robot, a luchadora, like a DNA man

and DNA man and some type of welder, like big, big. OK, this is the time for Pepsi Man to come back to video games. Wouldn't be bad. There's Pepsi Man has never been needed more than now. Never been needed more to save the world. I don't really care for this. Mr. Biff, announcer guy, though, he's a little I am much. The design is weird.

I am very excited to see because once I saw all the arm types. Yeah, I was like, there is going to be some busted like Marvel. So that's where I was going to go next is I was going to say, now we're playing choose your character, pick your two assists. Right. Like now we're playing a game of like what you're to customize your character, I want to see this game, like, which are going to touch a death, which are going to be that bullshit. He had like she just threw out two arms and he was like,

I'm going to go over here and dodge it. She's like, my other arm is coming. Minmin's dragon is a custom thing for her. Yeah, that shoots a fucking laser beam. Yes, come in there. So I want to know how much there's how much of that there is with the characters where if I pick the two big bruiser ball arms, what is the difference between me and the big guy with the exception of his life?

You know, yeah, and his special, I suppose. I want to find out because that would make a huge difference in terms of just like basic balance and, you know, the fun of like what the trailer seems to be getting at, which is the trailer seems to be implying that there's depth, you know, and like they make jokes about like the fact that there's like something to sink your teeth into and mechanics to figure out that are not on the surface level. The implication of depth.

So we'll see. But yeah, that looks really cool. So that's coming out soon. June. June 21st. And also in the Nintendo Direct trailer, we got to see a bit of Splatoon. Can I point out that that that Nintendo Direct had a Monster Hunter stories thing, something that I never thought would ever come to the West?

That's weird. Yeah. And they keep saying it's for the 3DS and showing Switch footage, which is also weird. But Splatoon in July is a fucking good time for that game. Well, anything is a good time. Well, no, but I mean like Mario Kart and then Mario Kart in a couple weeks and then Mario Kart in like two weeks.

Yeah. And then Arms in June and then Splatoon in July, like Nintendo games are coming out almost once a month. Or like an exclusive, some type of exclusive. When are we are we are we seeing what is going to be establishing that joint force timeline that we're hoping for of production where? Six Nintendo games a year. That's it.

That's all anybody needs to be happy. And then push third parties in between those, you know. A lot of their second parties, like American things. That's why I'm really, really like at E3, if you don't announce what like retro monster games, like all these other companies that they have, they don't announce what they're doing. And that's a huge missing gap of their workforce that are doing something. NST, all these companies that have made stuff that have helped out

on other projects like what I want those to be announced. Now, there's one central location for all your all these development houses to be focusing their attention on. So, you know, in theory, you should be seeing the same 3DS slash Wii U workforce, except in one place. But that's weird, because they also showed off a bunch of weird little 3DS games during this direct as well. Now, I'm like, I can't even remember half their names,

but I'm like, those look neat. Like there's that Pikmin side scroller and Pikmin adventure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but yes, Splatoon is what was that? No, sorry. Those guys are disgusting. Those fish. Those fish dude are creepy. In the trailer. I don't like those. They're they're very Lovecraftian.

So that's July 21st. Sorry, arms was June 16th. Yeah. And yeah, it's it's Splatoon. It's Splatoon. There's not much else to say. There's a little there's a little bit at the end that they went into, like the whole, like, take pictures and dress yourself up.

And yeah, Splatoon fashion. That's fine. I still like the Splatoon art style a lot. I think it's their fun. Yeah, it's good stuff. I enjoy that world. Nintendo also announced that if you didn't get your NEST classic mini, fuck yourself, get it now. Just drop trial, bend over and get it now.

Like there's one stick ticket. Well, steal them from Max and Austin Creed. The only two humans I've ever seen that own them. I got the Japanese one. I didn't know that was a thing. I bought I bought a Famicom mini and I'm happy with that game selection because that has that as some of your river city ransom on it.

So fuck yeah. Yeah. Hey, basically, we didn't know this was going to sell as hard as it did. No, they did. We made extras and we tried to make to to to like the only reason we tried to flow with the demands is because they don't want people to buy it. They want people to buy the switch instead. And if you give them two options.

So I'll I'll I will be the person who's like that that forced limit limited availability thing for the Wii was crazy. Like they're putting it out as much as they could. There is no reason to discontinue this thing when it is selling us like it's selling out every time they sell it out unless they want to create the idea that Nintendo products are of limited stock and value. And like Matt said, they'll go buy switches because I gotta I gotta get a switch. They're going to sell out because if you have these two options in the store,

let's say whatever a mom or dad or kid, oh, there's no switches. But I'll spend my my money for video games on this system that will not grow and continue to make money because there's no game library to support it. Yeah, so they want to kill us off now. And I will turn my nose up and like be pissed at the idea of a product that was made explicitly so that some people couldn't have it. Perhaps the idea that it's a collection of games that are sold on the e-shop that that too are all available at the cost on the on the system that you should

that we want you to get on. They're all being sold make money. They're all being sold together at the cost of one title. Yeah, is not something that like a full price title. Yeah. And this is the right value, I feel. But like they definitely are going to make more with the shop releases. But yeah, on a basic level, whatever is happening, if you have a thing that people want like this, like, I don't get why you just stop.

I don't know. Well, the same thing with the Mipos. Don't make enough so that people can buy them, make enough so that people can buy them, but some people never get them. So then they buy them super hard the next time. Can't wait to see what happens to the off market now. Like this behavior is why I went so hard trying to get switches for myself and everybody because I was afraid that in trying to get four or five of them,

I would get zero. I'm wondering, yeah, I want to see the jump between like how much these were going for online prior to this announcement and then after. Like, does it just go 200 percent? Do they do do they just do they just double it more, you know? Luckily, there's a very cheap way to play those games if you can't find an S classic. Yeah, yep. Very cheap.

That's like crazy cheap. Lots of extra features, too. Bad Nintendo, bad, bad dog. Am I am I an asshole that that's where my thought process goes when they make a product like this that's like intentionally so that people can't buy it? And I go, well, fuck you then. Does that make me an asshole or just spike?

No, it's no, I don't think so. I think it's pretty much on point because it's like this is a thing that lots of people would want and enjoy. It's appealing to the retro. It's doing all these things. But yeah, we're at. But like sold the idea, the idea. And I think it is sold war.

I wanted to get one for my nephew. Yeah, everyone. Everyone thought of that. Everyone wants that to give to their kids so that the kid can learn about old games and everyone had a bunch of thoughts about this. But the thing is that it's been months now, right? So the idea that the initial explosion of popularity led to a surprising amount beyond what they expected. I'll believe that they had more than enough time

to respond to that, right? By now and be like, well, oh, wow, people love this. Let's let's yeah, like it's been like half a year. Like we got this. This is the exact same thing that happened with the Wii. But with the difference with the Wii is the Wii was something they obviously plan to continue selling. Yeah. Right.

And this is what happens when it's something that they didn't plan to continue selling is that we'll make that extra batch of Gamecube adapters and then after that, get fucked because it's so weird that every statement that they have been put about has been like, we're really happy it's selling this well. We were very surprised and didn't expect it to be this big and popular. We didn't plan for this. And like that works exactly the first week, truthful.

And then that works in the first month. Sell this well. And then like six months later and you still go, wow, we just really didn't expect it to work. We were so white. We were so shocked by the success that we decided to put it into the Disney, I mean, Nintendo vault. Here's what they should have done.

If let's say they wanted to discontinue this for a lot of reasons, they have this announcement should have been at the end of 2017. We'll be discontinuing this. Yes. And we'll be like putting out more. Yeah. Until then. So we're giving you a warning. Yeah. And that like, I think that's for whatever reasons, they want to discontinue it.

I think that's that's that's the more regular version that you see when they tell you a date where it's going to stop. Yeah. And then they continue. Here's here's the perfect example of why this. Maybe they're cursed. Maybe they're great business to get them out of the market. Exclamation. Maybe here's a good example.

Why this is fantastic immaculate business, but scumbag shitty behavior that makes you miserable. Hey, woolly, you walk into a store and you see a Super Nintendo classic. You going to buy it immediately? Yeah, of course you are. So would I. So would anyone because now we know that they'll be fucking sold out and hard to find forever and they'll fuck you on production.

Also, if you don't buy it in that one second, even if you can't afford it, you'll never get it. I don't know why I never even thought of a Super Nintendo classic. It's really clearly going to be the next thing they do after this. And I would hope that they do it properly. I don't know about N64 classic. No, that's too far. Also, I don't know if the library supports it.

I mean, that can be a cost effect. That would be a generation or two away, but SNES classic. Oh, my God. Wow, yeah. See, I'm not that I'm less familiar with the next library of like great classics than I am the Super Nintendo one. But I feel like when that Super Nintendo one comes out, especially the SNES, that library is disgusting. Like there's going to be some very big holes

that everyone's going to bitch about. Well, I mean, not everything was like, like you because they have to grab some third party partners, you know? Yeah. And whoever wants to show up will show up. And those have to be partners that are like not feeling themselves and smelling their farts too hard about their old games. The problem is that it's really hard to justify buying a Super Nintendo mini thing. And if Konami is not on board, then you are missing.

If Capcom is not on board. Well, fuck. No, Capcom would have to be on board because, A, there's Capcom games on the NES mini. And B, Capcom is one of the more even on the Wii U. They put out a lot of their library, like all the Mega Man Xs, all the final fights, a lot of Street Fighters. There are a rough they're like 10 square Super Nintendo games. Maybe a lot of square.

We're talking here and actually touching on another part of why they wouldn't want this as much because it's really cheap and other companies are getting piece of the pie. Maybe they're losing less more than we think because you're paying because it's all too well, right? Well, they're losing so much money based on the incredible sale. No, no, no, no. When I say losing, I mean, they're losing. They're not making the full amount for the console's price because another company's

game is so there. Well, you say their margins are lower than you exactly. Right. And so like the idea of throwing Mega Man X one and X two and World Warrior, I don't know, man. If they're Super Nintendo margins are that low. I if if your margins are so low, lower than usual. If your margins are low enough to make you want to discontinue something based on it's not the money not coming and not being worth it.

Why would you even make that in the first place? Yeah, that that's the the the there might be a part of that Venn diagram in which those are actually separated. We want this to exist. We want a nice collector's item to exist in the world, but we don't actually. I always thought the reason this thing was even created is because we have no big things coming out as holiday 2016. Also a good reason.

Let's shut this out. Oh, shit. Now the switch is out and a big success. Let's get rid of the stopgap thing because it's still in thunder from the switch. I mean, it's not. They think it is. Maybe it is in terms of profit margins. Well, let's just say Japanese companies are a little weird little stuff. What if what if this was a go ahead?

No, no, I was basically done. I was just like what if what if this was what if this was a cartridge that had these games on it that you sold for the switch, you know, then it would be like. Oh, yeah. Hey, that's a great idea, actually. It is. But then your then your e shop is getting like. Oh, in terms of that, that's a bad idea.

What if they had an e shop that had reasonable prices? Well, or like the value of what or how about this? What if they had an e shop that didn't fuck up the emulation on a bunch of their games? Or, you know, your purchase. While they might, there's no switch one yet. It might be fine. I mean, at the very least, the paper Mario one or no, Super Mario RPG one bummed me out when I saw I went into emulation topics

after me and Liam, Liam, thank you. Me and Liam, my brain fails sometimes. Me and Liam did the LP. And I was like, that game doesn't look very good. And then I went back and look at what it's supposed to look like in proper CRT emulation. It's like, oh, fuck off. They fucked that game up with the lack of filters and grayscales and the colors wrong. And it's like, Jesus Christ, that's a bummer to me.

Yeah, I think e shop e shop purchases on your DS carried over, not DS. So three days, three DS carried over for all. You got you got a you got a you got a money off. Good job. You can only have to pay two dollars for the game you already own. Yeah. Anyway, so that's what's happening there. And that sucks. Nintendo, why you do so good and you hurt us?

I didn't think we do good. Well, here's the other thing. I didn't know this was an existing thing that Nintendo did. But apparently they have for a while now been this is a volcano parties. Well, you want to you want to you want to lead that ship somewhere? No. Should I Google that? No, I made it up. So oh, you're just playing off of what we do.

Jackass thing. Yes. OK. All right. Oh, no, it's a party. No. Jim Norton talks about having glass. Oh, right. Glass tables. Good furniture. Put your put your coffee table on that. Every muscle in my body tenses up when I hear the word when I hear.

Will they say the phoneme J for Jim? So Nintendo's going to pay up to 20,000 bucks for bounties on switch security vulnerabilities. And apparently this was something they had going with the 3DS as well. I didn't know. But yeah, they are doing the if you find a way to hack our games, tell us first and we'll pay you. That makes sense to me because I was thinking about it

the other day in terms of testing. If you're testing the Assassin's Creed game, there will be no way you will ever be able to test as hard as the 16 million people that buy Assassin's Creed games. Correct. So this is the same logic of no matter how many people we hire, they'll never find all the invulnerabilities in our thing. But you know who can? Dark Alex. The world.

Further. Also, yes. Furthermore, there's people that are going to be doing as hard as they can work. So let's bribe them so that they don't put out. Maybe they want to pitch. And if they do find shit, here's the contract you're going to sign because if we see anything coming out of you. Yeah, how many how many we don't like the early 90s about like, you know, the hacker that got a job.

Here's the thing. I think they should get that. I think they should kick that job. That offer up to like a hundred K or so. I say I'd say 50 because because 20. I feel like for if I was a hacker man, 20 is right on that line of I could be infamous, though. I could be it might be the next dark Alex.

For the first thing. The first thing I thought was they should probably up that to about 50. Yeah, maybe. But too large to turn down. But remember, it's a range, though. It's 20 is the 20s. The 20s where you're like, oh, wow, wow, wow. This is whoa.

I assume that's based on the severity of what you find. Reward amount started a hundred bucks and go up to 20 K based on how easy it is for people to use. So the flaw, if they find one that is like if they find a breath of the wild, click this button. You now have I fully expect the next hack. To be like fucking bootleg amiibo's that you had that you scan over the NFC and just do it.

I feel like I think no, I think it's going to be the browser because they found the browser in the system. It has to be one clearly not not bootleg amiibo's your phone. Your NFC enabled phone connection. Yeah, you can smooth shit through that, too, for sure. Yeah, anything that has to upload data, you know, is is is any way in a way. Exactly. How do I get in, you know? Yeah, I don't care about any of that shit.

Let me upload or take my saves off the fucking switch. So, yeah, I agree. It scares the shit out of me that my breath of the wild save data has is that that's where it is. It's it exists there on your on your shelf. You know, there is a cloud saving option built in, but it's not turned on for everybody. That's like developer mode has cloud save options. Maybe that's going to be part of the service.

I assume that is the case because that you pay the money. And who would not want to pay for that if they care about it? I wish everything held it handled it the way Persona 5 does it. Persona 5 handles it immaculately. It's so good. It's not because like think about how, say, Dragon's Crown did it where it's like it's a whole other menu on the front end and you have you can upload your cloud save. But it takes a minute and you have to kind of interact with the PS firmware and stuff.

What breath? Sorry, bathroom break. OK, well, it's really bad. I just no, no, no, no, that's fine. Oh, man. Wow. Wow. Everybody's gone because Pat just ran out of the room. All right.

Well, that's our show, folks. OK, well, what's the fucking point? Thank you. Cheers. Cheers. This is great. Abandoned. All right. Hey, what's up, guys? Welcome to the Woolly versus Cast. It's your boy. It's your boy. Just this part.

Let's talk about parts, places of the world that we don't want to go. I don't want to go to that place. I might get killed over there. Yeah, those people don't like people like me. I don't like them either. I mean, I don't like those. You don't like those people. What people do you not like?

No, I voice in the distance. Who do you have a problem with? That's not what you said last time we spoke off, Mike. Whoa. Hey, all right. Hey, what I miss? Yeah, the Woolly versus Cast. We're going. We're going big. Let's get some guests on. Hey, where you just were used by yourself, man.

Mike Zira, dude, where are you at? Jump in. Jump in discord. Let's go. Let's let's just everybody. The plan C button. Yeah, let's talk to the chat. Let's start doing everything. What do you want to get into? Hey, you want to talk about Grenada?

Hey, what's the deal with Grenada? The darkness. You want to talk about the dog? Fuck, the darkness died this week. That's guys. Shout outs to Charlie Murphy, one of the greatest storytellers of all time. Makes me sad. Not as the Woolly cast. You got no, Mike. You're done.

Hey, you wait, you just turned me on, dude. I hear myself perfectly now. Hold on a minute. Let me deal with that. You say I can. There we go. So here we go. We're talking about Charlie Murphy. He told the greatest stories that that dude was hilarious. Apparently, his stand up wasn't super great. Just overpower you with my regular voice.

I remember hearing about so easy for me to do. I can just until the throat hurts. Charlie Murphy on stage. Apparently not super hilarious, but his stories as we all saw on the show. We're the fucking best. So, you know, the darkness has gone and God bless. We lost another one.

Twenty seventeen claims it again. Hey, that's the perfect place for that camera, by the way. I like how you're that's the that's what it looks like. When you talk to me, you see that the very ball this part. Did you know that Grenada was invaded one time because America was afraid of communism? Yeah, I know that y'all pushed out after like six hours of rock music.

Did you know that being called to Grenada, according to Wolf of Wall Street means it's free? You're going to win. It's free real estate. You can just show up with your dicks hanging out. No one really cares. Oh, I remember that bit. How'd that make you feel when you saw that bit?

We're going to win. I, you can ask my girlfriend, do I was rolling? Like holding my gut, dying, laughing at that scene. I can see that being very fun because it's so real. Yeah, yeah, that's what it's like. It's so real, dude. Because that was it. It's like Grenada's like, hey, we're going to be communist

in America. It's like, no, you're not. And they're like, OK. All right. Like they show they flew over. They bombed like two two buildings, I think. One was a school that was apparently going to be like a whatever base and another tactical area.

And they marched. We got to build this whatever base. No fights actually happened. There was just soldiers marching. And that was the end of that. Well, it's decisive. It was done. Oh, man, you don't know what you're messing with.

Oh, they knew exactly what they were messing with. They didn't want to mess with that. Oh, all right. Can we, all right, let's get back to the regular podcast, I suppose. Everyone dumped ass. That was the regular. Everyone got their bladders empty.

The bladder. It's just a blad. I explained about the water. Yeah, but you know, I would not be able to take a shit during the podcast. I don't know that you're not like a bird that has a single hole at the bottom of your body. I've always thought about this about you.

I'm pretty sure you do know that. I assume. Or can, you know what? I'm pretty sure you can safely assume that that is not the case. You know what? I don't know. There's so much about your body that's a mystery to me.

From the outside, the shape you make in those clothes doesn't make a ton of sense. I'm mad about the fucking toilet paper thing. I'm actually fascinated by the fact. As your attorney, you should forge on ahead before you go down to the toilet and question. Yeah, but he does want to make it a thing. Yeah, I guess so.

We can't breathe. I'll throw myself underneath the bus. He did it on the Dark Souls playthrough, too, so. I was trying to save you from being able to see colors. My legal counsel has informed me to accept the deal. It's in your best interest. I understand. Me and Willie have a deal in regarding to the bathroom.

Uh-huh. Yeah. That's all you need to know. A deal had to be reached. Are we going to leave it there? Yeah. You know what? Fuck it.

Let's leave it there. Because there are going to be lots of different interpretations. Good. That's good. And I just shake my head at the whole thing. Hey, straight up. I'll be clear. This is totally my fault.

100%. It's a deal where I ask for normalcy. And I go, no. You'll attempt it at best. And that's why I advise to take it. To take this deal. Sign the paper. Just sign the paper.

Like, like, match in the room. Just list. He's got a pen, and he's just, like, tapping it on the table. It's like, listen. Sign the act. The deal's not going to get any better. And it very well may well get worse. What are those twins from the fucking,

from the social network? Just sign the fucking deal. Man. Anyway. OK. Can we talk about HD Rumble for a minute? Hell, yeah, we can. Oh, god.

Oh, no, wait. I don't want to talk about HD Rumble. I do. I think you do. I think deep down, you really want to talk about it. Because there's one other big, big round announcement that was made. Hold on.

In America, north over here, I didn't see this. Yeah, you fucking didn't. Apparently, this was only a part of the. Go to 30 seconds in. Apparently, this is only a part of the Japanese. Let me hold on. So apparently, this is only a part of the Japanese. Senran Kagura switch announcement

in which they discussed HD Rumble. So what would you use HD Rumble for in this new Senran Keguga Kegugou game? You can do it. No, I did it. Well, we see some scientists in lab coats. With a chalkboard. Well, first of all.

Putting out flan. Yep, just dropping some pudding out on the table to test the. And holding little balls of silicon. To test the consistency. And they're jiggling all these things around to figure out. Physicists are studying. I think tank. This is so close to like boobs or like a bag of sand.

This is. But now they're a bag of flan. Well, it's like a Jell-O pudding cake that wiggles on your plate. Yeah. So the idea is you're going to, for the first time ever, going to get a controller feedback as you do. As you do something. As you do things.

You do things. In this new Senran Keguga. This was not in the North American switch thing. Dude, what? Why? For reasons I can't fathom. Any comment from Austin? Comment from Austin is like, finally.

Finally, a reason to keep my system. There we go. Oh, yeah, because he hates Breath of the Wild. I appreciate that last second little super creepy hand gesture that he throws out there. Oh, yeah. I'm a big fan of it. It reminds me a bit of like that one time I saw.

Because one of the Senran Kagura girls does that. OK. She's the pervy old man. And he's just emulating her. He's not yelling out, I'm going to molest you. It's just a fun thing from the game. Because I saw Billy do that one time. And I was like, what are you doing?

You backed up. What are you doing there? You backed up. He came in, you were all alone. And he just threw that out at you. And you're like, huh? I see. It wasn't appropriate.

It's appropriate enough. Anyway, that's that game. Yeah. You know what is appropriate? What? You have a couple seconds before I load up the story. I'm just waiting for the story. Peter Morph leaves the video games.

This is right after that awesome story about him and Nyuji Naka almost throwing down coming out. Yeah. So it's been a long time coming. Yeah. But where is he headed anyway? Home. He's done.

Oh, really? I thought he had some other venture. No, this wasn't another switch to another company. This was Peter Morph's hanging up. Oh, he's retiring? He's retiring. Oh, good for him. Yeah.

It's been, what, 20 years? 18 years? 18 years. I eagerly await 10 years from now for him to start telling everything, every story. He's earned the give up machine life. You know, me and Shinji Mikami accidentally killed a hooker. Accidentally.

I have the tattoo for it. I was going to say, wait till you see the tattoos I couldn't show you up until now. Yeah. All right. I'm really sad he didn't get some tattoo or some flop. And then he still has that tattoo. Like, I want him to have a tattoo that says advent rising.

Oh, advent rising would have been good. Or brute force. Brute force would also be good. Remember? I'm really sad about it. Oh, man, you're going to be at the place, the lizard man. He's going to really put us over the halo. The Drake and the 99 dragons.

The O of brute force is just his asshole. It's just FR. That's a terrible thing to have tattooed on you. There's a lot of implications going on with that. What if he had to go to jail? No, it's a video game. Well, then whoever is getting real cozy is to Mr. Moore realizes what he has to do.

Yes. Oh, Godspeed. God bless, Peter Moore. You've provided us original name was also going to be brute force. You've provided us with. Would you tattoo that on your asshole? Me killer instinct or brute force? Because I'll do one of them.

Just the words combo breaker. But the O goes in the fun spot. The counter breaker which. Oh, that means the tattoo artist has to spread you to get that in there. How much would it cost for you to get a tattoo on your asshole? Man, I always thought like I thought being a tattoo guy would be like a fun job.

Are you serious? No, because I have a friend that does it. All the worst people in the world. And tattoos. She practices on like pig skins and stuff. And she's like, it's kind of weird at first, but it's kind of fun when you get used to it. And I was like, cool.

Well, yeah, because you're drawing on people. You get tattooed on your asshole. You get it. Say like I go along with the law. Cut, see, yow, yow. Oh, everyone's like, well, he's a straight shooter. Yeah, so you respect that guy. He goes along with that law.

No, doesn't doesn't fuck around. Yeah, I'm a fan of a shadow counter. I mean, what's more fun than like you? I'm sure you've all seen the the guy with like the shark. He's got like he's an amputee. Yeah, the amputee and he's got like this stump where it's a shark head. Yeah, that's great.

That's fun. You work with what you got, you know, and then some people have their belly button incorporated into some of their though. There's a one is that their belly button's like a weird gross cat asshole. Yeah, you know, it's not good. Where are you? Why stop there?

Why not take it to the end? They have a weird moment. Why not just become Mr. Cool Ice? Well, you know, and he already exists. Peter Moore showed you that if you believe in your game, you got to get a tattoo for it. That tattoo was super not real. The Grand Theft Auto one.

Yeah, the Grand Theft Auto one was fake. Yes. But Halo two was five tattooed on them. No, I don't remember that. I don't remember that. Someone got a big Africa. Well, how come Peter Moore didn't cash in on the opportunity to get a goddamn shadow man

to rock baby tattoo? I don't know why he missed out on what he's getting. Shadow man, it's to rock tattooed on his baby's tombstone. That's correct. No, no, no, no, you tattoo shadow man on your baby. And then the baby named to rock. And then Barry and that's how you get the deal. I love that.

Wally just decided I'm going to throw down all of these these promos that's going to make Matt literally die because the fucking those ad campaigns always make you laugh so hard you cry. If you're going to commit to one tattoo for promo, you might as well go go all the way in. Don't tattoo the words baby. On to on your to rock. There you go.

Yeah, get your shadow man. Great. Get your get your T-Rex doll and as baby. Yeah. Yeah. Hmm. Well, anyway, God bless. They have blood vertizing for it. You can't not blood vertize. It's the only way to do this type of marketing.

If you're just talking, if you're just telling people about it, you're doing everything we said, then blood vertize, right? People that kill the live goat at Sony's God of War party will see your blood vertizing. No, and your game will get published by Sony. You get the billboard. These guys think like us. You get the billboard.

You show them the pictures of your dead tattoo shadow to rock baby, right? And then as they drive by on the freeway, you're standing up in front of the billboard with a live goat. We'll make a boom box, holding it up. And you're and you just slit the goat's throat and then you just just dash the blood at the cars. Right? You dash the butt at the cars. If you dash it real good, it spells tarot.

That's how you get the blood vertizing. And then everyone drives by, they get blood on their windshield, and they go, I should buy that game. I feel like I've lost the thread. Is this to buy the Peter Moore game? This is to get the word out. This is just good. This is just good marketing.

This is just a sound marketing. Good marketing. All right. Oh, I feel like that one's free. I feel like that one's free. Wait, we're laughing about blood vertizer. Remember the part that like claim had to spend millions of dollars cleaning up all the blood? Yeah, they did.

Because they didn't think about it. I remember Sony getting like fucking fined by the city of San Francisco for that fucking graffiti PSP shit show they did. It wasn't like during all of this, the balloons from home front are falling down. The home front balloons. Oh yeah, polluted the fucking river.

The home front balloons killed a bunch of animals, and that's fine. And right in the background, the adult swim fucking bomb disposal unit had to go pick up their stupid light bright. All of this. Because they didn't know what it was. All of this to usher in the anti-birth

of Turok Shadow, baby. How many animals can your balloons kill? Tie those plastic beer containers. As many as it takes for Peter Moore to get a tattoo of it. Just fill your balloons with the plastic beer containers like where they're sealed together and helium them up into the sky. Those are fish nooses.

Yeah, yeah. That's what they're called. Where you get six in one for a high score. Hey Peter, we killed five manatees, excellent. Perfect. He gets a tattoo of a manatee getting strangled on his back. Another successful launch. Beautiful, all right.

So Peter Moore is a man of glad these small stories can occasionally launch into big moments. Peter Moore is a man. The phrase Turok Shadow, baby, is gonna stick with me for a while. You just said it. Willie said it just a little bit ago and I don't think like it fully registered

what the fuck that is. And I think that was either you or Willie. There was Willie where I was like, you know that the Turok Shadow Man, that was for Shadow Man 2 on the PS2. That was for not the original Shadow Man. It was for Shadow Man 2, which he didn't know existed until I showed him my copy.

It was like Shadow Man 2. And he's like, what? When that came out, I'm like, yeah. And he's like, oh, okay. Well, I'm only familiar with the first one. I'm like, this was the UK only advertising for Turok named your baby dead baby Turok or whatever it was. It's only in the UK and only for Shadow Man 2.

I'm kind of sad that Peter Moore never got to work for Nintendo. Yeah, because that would have been really fun. He needed to work for all of them to make stuff. To get to play bingo, absolutely. Because I mean, I remember and I love Perrin Kaplan from the Jedi Nintendo days. The days of no answers.

Of just waving your hand or just politely staring at the person who asked the question. That's why when Reggie first came on board, it was so different because he's like, look at RE4. Look at all this crazy bullshit we're blowing out the doors for. I like all that stupid Space Wizard crap. Yeah, back when Reggie was cool.

We're still trying to figure out how many asses he's kicked. Reggie can still be cool, but he refuses to be. He's has been cool for a while. And whose name is he taking? He took Bill Trin and his name. He was cool in the. He took Bill Trin and his name. That to me, that's.

He was cool in the Reggie robot when he was a robot and he killed Mega 64. That's the top of my Nintendo turning into their dumb CEO drama shit is sending Bill Trin into Japan for revenge. Locking him away, yeah. I'm searching for Turok Shadow Baby in a Google. That's fine.

You know what you should search for? You should search for a picture of human knuckles. That's a bad idea. You've seen that? No, knuckles like human knuckles. Oh my God, dude. And it's just human knuckles like fucking fucking Sonic just ruins it all.

What do you expect? I name your dead shadow baby. I feel like there's a fucking shadow counter joke here. I've been trying to make it work. I've been trying to make it work and it hasn't had an opportunity. Like, yeah, I've been the whole thing. I've been thinking like who is that? One, two, three.

Wait, what? Is that like the birth? I got so confused because it said, edit, enter to win a chance to name your dead baby Turok Shadow Man. And I was like, what? And then I'm like, oh, it's our wiki. Is it?

Yeah. That sucks. Sometimes we make shit real. I hate that. All right, here it is. I hate when we're the source. Speaking of shadow babies. Yes.

Yes. Star Wars. Oh, the last Jedi. Hey. Speaking of space wizards. You want to talk about your shadow babies? We've got the ultimate shadow baby here. And he's perfect.

Who do you mean? Who do you mean? Kylo Ren. Okay. Oh. He's an evil baby. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, okay.

And he's kind of like a shadow baby. I like this concept for this trailer a lot. Yeah. It's actually not the like of my favorite is no words. Just tone. Right? Yeah. Or no.

Or like if you get very little or if you give words very few. Exactly. Implication of. Of plot. Oh, what do you think they're going to do about Carrie Fisher? They've been they've been going. They shot. She filmed.

She filmed a couple scenes. You're right. You're right. She hasn't filmed anything for the last. They're doing major reshoots to work around it. To make that work. Yeah. Oh, man.

Like they're obviously going to have to find a way that she's got to like go gracefully in this movie. So I have to go fight the war on the other side of the galaxy. There is a planet called Earth. Shut up. Hey, that's terrible. Hey, hey, no. Do you need me to remind you?

Do I need to remind you of what? What? Of the time that Indiana Jones found Han Solo's body. Yeah. What? Oh, yeah. What are you talking in Indiana Jones game? There's an actual.

There's an actual. I don't think it's a game. I think it's from one of the books or comics rather. But there isn't. There's a story where Indiana Jones quote unquote canonically finds Han Solo's body. That's not canon. And the idea being that. Well, whatever.

Outer canon, stupid book canon of Tim and Chewie end up like in their adventures on Earth eventually. So a long time ago, far, far away. It doesn't really matter if you go far enough. Because time and distance. I would like to talk out of my butt for a second. Bend over. The, the, the, the.

Show us your tattoos. At the end of the, at the end of the little video here with the Luke Skywalker and the in the Star Wars, he's like the Jedi have to end. Right. Yeah. And yes, that was the stinger at the end of the teaser. That's the stinger is Luke Skywalker saying that. And there's a lot of interpretations of what the fuck he's talking about.

Obviously. I have mine. There already exists that that train of thought already exists from a bunch of good characters and some comics and games. And it's the primary theme of code or two. And it's that everyone who is not involved in the Jedi and Sith are really sick of their dumb wizard shit causing galactic holocausts. Yep.

And they, and everyone wished they would just stop it. But if one side keeps learning it, the other side has to counter. Basically. And, and 99.9% of all Sith users are Jedi's that figured out that being evil was rad. Exactly. The problem is that if you can count on there being two Sith, because the rule of two. Oh, that's fucking dumb. I hate that.

The rule of two is just that their Sith always have a master apprentice relationship. But there's no regulation on how many dark Jedi you can have. Yeah, you can have a billion fucking dark Jedi, man. So yeah, I understand that philosophy. I also understand the idea of possibly going the other way with it and saying everybody needs to learn a little bit of the force. Right. Maybe they can just look at it from that.

That's just not possible. Well, not everybody can. But I mean, instead of like, instead of, instead of having it be this highly ritualistic thing, you can demystify it a little bit. And it should be like you learn about the force in school and, and instead of track, there's force lifting. Because it is a galaxy wide problem. Yeah.

Yeah. And there are races that are super good. There are aliens that are just naturally force sensitive. And there's others that are just like dumb as rocks and can't feel it at all. So one, like whatever the guess is going to be one, it's either going to be everybody needs to be on the same page. And that either means no more force using it all or everybody understands it at least a little bit. The reason why I think it's going to go there is because the whole thing with Kylo Ren is that

like Luke teaches an entire new class of Jedi and all it fucking fails. All it took was one guy to go back and he killed all of the other one. In how many generations? One. Less than one. Yeah, less than one. Actually, he was the next general. Dude, it's that fucked, right?

It took half a fucking generation to wipe them all out again. Unbelievable. So, of course, he's going to be like that. And I completely get it. Luke's cool. He probably taught him good or whatever. Luke is very good. I'm sure he did a good job.

Yeah. But he's sick of this shit. I can't not hear the Joker in his fucking voice. No, no, what was happening on this side? I read another acclaimed thing. If you can prove that you are driving to the game store to buy Burnout 2. We'll pay your speeding ticket. And if you break the speed limit, we'll pay for your ticket.

They got massive fucking shit with that. Yeah, it's super real. That's not real. But you have to have proved you were gone the way to the store to buy it. They got in crazy shit from that. You're allowed to speed to go buy Burnout. But if you speed to go buy Burnout and you get a ticket and show us, we'll pay for it. Every local government was like, why are you telling people to commit crimes?

I thought the brass knuckles thing was like pushing it with Mafia 2. Yeah. Wow. Also, if your baby is named Throck, we will give you $10,000, but it will be in a savings bond that only the baby can cash. If your baby was speeding to buy a copy of Burnout and died and you buried him with the name Throck, the shadow man on his grave, we'll pay that speeding ticket. We'll pay for the ticket.

Not the funeral costume. No. That's on you. No, that's, we'll give you the bonus. You're the best. You'll give you a copy of the game, though. No, you got to combine them a little bit. No, if you're speeding to bury your baby shadow man at the dinosaur Throck pit.

A baby driving the car is not combining them enough for you. Yeah. You got to name your dead baby, whatever. Burial. They bury it. The gravestone has blood vertigin on it. Yeah. Whatever you want.

Put the coffin in the hurts and the hurts has to speed down to the cave stop. To the graveyard. Yeah. To the graveyard. And if you break the law, speeding with your dead baby's hurts only if the baby's name is Throck. No, we'll pay your speeding ticket, but only if there's a traffic cam photo of blood shooting at the back of the hurts.

I really like gravestone that's perpetually bleeding and I'd say realize Throck shadow man. If you tattoo your speeding ticket to yourself. Yeah. Yeah. And it's blood vertigin because you did it poorly, so it's bleeding. All right. Well, anyway, Star Wars.

Yeah. Well, it's like, here's the moment to talk about it. Hey, guess what? This new fucking Star Wars trailer looks hype as fuck. It's probably gonna be good. It's by the director of Looper. I really love how they do these trailers. Looper.

Where I don't know anything about this movie. The next trailer, guess what? You'll know less than you did from this one. I'll see like a cool shot. That's awesome. So why don't we swerve into the next lane? Please. It's the same.

With our blood vertigin. It's the same. It's the same destination, but it's just one lane over. Yeah, I know. I know where you're going. Yeah. Battlefront 2. What's your take on this?

I'm going to buy this game. Yeah, man. It looks like a bigger, cool campaign. And I liked Battlefront 1. And it has space battles. And it has everything that the first game lacked, which was everything. Just dodge the mini-bys flying at you. The one thing that I need to confirm.

Use your lightsaber to flack the mini-bys. Confirm, not just trailer confirm, but like for real, is can you take your X-Wing from the planet to the space? Into space. Yeah, yeah. Yes? Because that's what it actually was missing. So likely not, because those are probably going to continue to be separate missions.

That sucks, dude. That being said, adding space battles in general. Those missions were fun, though. Awesome. But yeah. The campaign, having you play as like a fucking empire soldier looking at the Death Star, get blown up and go, oh shit. Yeah.

That's great. And not only that, like you were raised on a planet. That's a new planet. That's an empire utopia. Of course. Yeah, it's like their model of what's all the galaxy is. Why wouldn't that exist? Why wouldn't tons of planets completely dominated by the empire exist where they're like, this

is one of those ones you've got a lot going on for us. We've got a lot of resources coming from you. It's like Rome. Everyone on this planet loves the empire because they're living great lives as a result. Rome and a lot of the parts of Italy during like the Roman Empire were totally, like they were as best as you could possibly get. Awesome. Awesome.

I love that concept. Why are these rebels fucking up my shit? My house is so nice. These rebels are really mean to us. Also. We're great. I think I mentioned. No season pass is also a nice little thumbs up.

Thank you. Also. Okay. We're gonna like, so here's the deal. I don't like those prequel movies, but you know what? I want to play as fucking Darth Maul on a map. I also want to play as Darth Maul. I want the content.

Yeah. I don't have to watch the movie. Those are cool levels. I want to play as baby Anakin. I used to play as the Kylo Ren. Yeah. There you go. And you know what?

I also really liked that logo. Yeah. It's just like, like kind of like a shitty neon light. Well, cause the number, it looks like it's, it's a holograph coming off of. The number one problem with Battlefront one was like, I liked that game a lot, but there were very few maps and very few modes and very few characters and very few weapons. And then there were big DLC packs that came though. Yeah.

But even, even then, like they were overpriced. Yeah. So if you're going, hey, it's the same basic thing, but lots more stuff. That's not a better game. And I'm not at all surprised because I'm like, while they initially pitched Battlefront as like, this is going to be our Star Wars catch all. It's like for a limited time until the next, you know, phase of Star Wars comes out and then you just put out another game.

But this campaign looks cool. And the new mainline movie. The possibility. And I say it every time. So I'm just beating the dead horse. But you know what I love? I love that VR mission. And I really hope that we get more of that.

So if they have another VR mission in this, even if it's the same length. I thought you were going to say, you know what I love? Darth Maul with the robot legs. No. You love that. He does love that. Come on. Tell me, tell me you don't love Darth Maul with the robot legs.

I'm not a fan of it. You love it. It's so cool looking. I hope you can play as Guado. Darth Maul with the robot legs is like a fucking like. The best. Hair away from a fucking Naruto villain. Don't tell me you don't love Darth Maul with the robot legs.

Apparently there's a lot of cool stuff though that does happen when he comes back in the show. But anyway, I bet the number one thing that happens is he's really mad at Obi-Wan for cutting him in half. Don't forget about his brother. Yeah. That's yellow. Yeah.

Yellow. Anyway. We get confused about that. A little bit. Anyway. But the the. Oh yeah. We said it was his brother, but someone was like, no, it's not.

It's his dad. His race. So the PSVR mission is probably going to like would never. I don't know if we'd ever get a full game because it'd just be too expensive. Yeah, I don't. But I would love if we just got another demo of some kind because man, oh man, that was great. I hope they have Darth Talon, but they won't.

And they have the tech. You know, they've done the research. I like Darth Talon. She's hot. They made Call of Duty look. I watched that movie. She did. I what?

Oh, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. I do. Yeah. Star Wars. She did a little mini movie. It's about like. Indie film.

Like 27 minutes long. Yeah. Anyway, what was her name again? Darth Talon. No, no, no, no, no, no. Urdin Versio. Versio is the name of the new main character. Yes.

So. What's the girl in Terrace Kaze? Arden Lynn. Arden Lynn. Good job. Good job. I'm impressed. They should bring that back.

That's what I expected was to be a question to be asked today. What was the name of that character in Terrace Kaze? Horror. Masters of the Terrace Kaze. The green guy. Horror? No, not the green guy. The sand person.

What's the name of the horror? Horror. Cool. H-O-A-R. Horror. I never understood. That's a good name. It doesn't.

I hit the ear real wrong when you go horror the sand person. It hit me real hard too, even as a kid. I was like. Is that what we're doing? We only did that for Scrub Lords Classic. We never played that. Yeah, we took a good look at it. Yeah, we took a, yeah.

Did you, did you guys play that? We went deep. We went deep. Like deep, like. Like, infinites or like. I mean, what secret tech did you discover? Characters. You throw your lightsaber in that tracking move that hits 50 times.

Then you win the match. What you actually remember. Yeah. That was the first PS1 game I ever played. Really? Yeah. You started off right? I had the demo desk and I had the chance between Armored Core and Masters of Terrace Kaze.

Holy shit. Wow. Fucking way to establish your console, dude. God damn. You chose right. Did your brother break the one that you didn't play? Was it like play this and we'll never see the other one? No, it was that demo desk that came with a lot of early playstations.

They had like 14 games on it. Yeah, I know the one. All right. And then last but not least, we've gotten your automata news. This is the weirdest. Crazy. This is the weirdest. The DLC includes costumes and you can fight CEOs.

Plural. The CEO of Square Enix and the CEO of Platinum. Also, Willie, what is the name of this DLC? The name of this DLC is 3C3C1D119440927. Awesome. Great. Got it? Good.

I'll never forget it. Also, there's some costumes for the characters that are from near. Is that a gravity rush costume? Yeah. Yep. There's some thighs showing off, some nice big thighs there. Real juicy. For 9S, yeah.

Yep. Good stuff. Good stuff. When's it coming out? It's coming out on May 2nd in Japan and I guess we'll stay tuned for North American. That's what those weirdo doors are about. They lead to the Colosseum. Matsuda and the guy, the new Platinum CEO, Kenichi Sato is going to be in the game as

a boss that you can fight. Which sucks because we all don't really know that guy as much as we know Inaba. I'm not going to buy this DLC. Even Inaba, I'd rather fight Kamiya. Everyone would, but he has nothing to do. I know. He'd be the first person to be like, no. And everyone's like, but you're the guy that everyone is.

And he's like, I don't care. Everyone mistakenly associates everything Platinum with me and I'm sure the way he sounds on Twitter is upset at that. I'd love to fight one that shoots Windex in your face and bans you. And to be fair, I'm sure that would be annoying. I occasionally get jokes from things that are from an LP that you guys have done. It's vice versa. I don't know.

And I'm like, I what? I don't get the joke. I wasn't there. I have no receptacle for this. Why? You know, my favorite one is remember when remember when you said that and I'm like, I'm dead certain. Well, he said.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Those are always the funnest. And when it's like someone said this on the podcast and I'm like, that was not me. Yeah. You remember the sentiment of the conversation, not the actual words and who said them. Oh my God. I like it when it's something good that they think I said. Oh, then you get that credit.

I get that credit. Yeah. Get those extra marks. Yeah. Yeah. E-mails. If you want to tell us what you would do with your advertising with your dead baby, shadow man, speeding ticket.

Yeah. Bloodvertising. Send it to superbestfriendcastatgmail.com. Is that email again? That's superbestfriendcastatgmail.com. Okay. And your blood advertising might sound like this. I want Wally to open up the inbox and just like lose his like just laugh super hard.

At like a hundred subject lines that are just like my dead baby's grave trashed tarot. And every combination they're randomized. And you'll find the best one. Find the best one. Actually, you guys can have a little conversation while I take a little. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. A little tinkle time. Oh, man.

Okay. Sound good. Now that the podcast is live, these kinds of piss breaks must be inserted. They're exciting. Unless we get unless unless we wanted to go the bottle route, which I don't think we'll do. Listen, listen, I have learned enough from low tier God. I don't think I need to take that step from him.

Are you well enough? What are you? Are you serious? Did you not know? No. Low tier. I piss in bottles. Oh, could you left us out?

So I thought we were going to leave us with a question. So I thought what he was going to do was read an email to start track or something. Yeah. He would want to and then and then be like you guys talk amongst yourselves because I don't care about this shit. But it but instead maybe it's about Kung Kung Fury. I'll just go over there. Fuck you.

No, but make sure to pick one. I don't want to touch that. Make sure to fuck. I told you. It's trapped. Make sure to pick one. Why don't you find all these emails that are like really complimentary to us and you always skip some over.

These emails are too long. I'm not going to read them. All right. Well, by the time you actually sit down, look, he's back. See? What's up? Didn't worry. Nothing.

The emails are too long. We tried a thing and then we got tired. Nothing. What were you doing? I tried to read an email. Oh, you just clicked on anyone? I just clicked on anyone and it was like four or five paragraphs. And I was like, that's too long of an email.

You have to know the part. So by the time he sat down, I was like, he's already coming back. This is a huge failure. Holy shit. You almost killed Strider. Yeah. Strider almost fell down there. He's good.

Strider is good. I really thought he was going to read us like a Star Trek email. Yeah. I thought that's what he was going to do. You know what? I probably should have. I should have read you something. You know what?

You should just ask a Star Trek question. You're not wrong. You're right. I should have just asked a Star Trek question like that one time you asked me an MMO question just to feed me something to talk about. Yeah. I should have asked you one coming in from Kevin David says, Dear Zybatsu and especially Pat, I've been playing FF 14 for the past four months.

Oh, fuck this question was here. Thanks to Pat's recommendation. I've hit the 256 item level and I'm still climbing as a Paladin. I find a few friends to play with and the hype train has been going. I'm coming to the extremes before the Stormblood to start. Am I wasting my time trying to finish the current content to get people in my static ready for Savages? Oh, absolutely.

Or should I give up trying to run old content and gear up for Storm? Trying to get like, if you want to do the EX primals, there's still a bunch of people doing those in Party Finder, but the time for Savages is done. Like the game is empty. I logged in a few days ago and in my fucking 259 person FC, there were 12 people online because they were all playing Persona. This period, but when it's halfway through the last patch before the expansion, it's all catching up and just tidying up loose ends and the population is extremely low.

A lot of people have unsubbed and are just waiting for the expansion to come out. So in terms of like the Savage Raid content, unless you have seven people that are just really good to go and are just as intense as you are, like, no, just run your roulette, get your scripts, run Dunscape and those things and get your fucking tokens and upgrade your shit to 270. Do you say Paladin or Paladin? Paladin. Okay.

Because of Dragon Lens and Paladin are always what the first thing that goes in my head. I don't know if I'm correct, but the reason I say it is because it makes more sense with the pronunciation of Pali, which is like very commonly. The God Paladin always made me think of that word, so that's where my brain went. We got one coming in from Angelic and Angelic says, what's the weirdest thing you ever wanted to own? For example, I want to own one of those claw machines and put all my stuffed animals in it.

It's a fun idea. It's a pretty fun idea. I want to own a baseball signed by Gretzky. That's a good one. I've literally had that idea since I was three years old and I thought it was the greatest idea my dad told me it was stupid, but I feel like I'm at a point now where people appreciate how stupid it is. That's a pretty good one.

I want to own a popcorn machine. Popcorn machine? People do that. You can get your hands on them. Those are gigantic though, aren't they? The old mom-and-pops video store with the dragon lady that we did that raid where we bought a bunch of stuff there. I do remember.

They had a popcorn machine and whatever going in, it would just smell like popcorn. He'd be like, yeah, fun. Popcorn equates to movies, equates to fun, and I was like, I need more fun in my house, so I wanted a popcorn machine. Never did anything with it, never took steps, never even asked my parents because I knew the fucking answer. I feel like the obvious is an arcade cabinet, which, you know, I work in an arcade cabinet, but I've already kind of, yeah, that's a very understandable thing.

I guess the weirdest version would be I'd want one of those cocktail Pac-Man machines that I used to have in my dentist's office where it's a cocktail cab where it sits like a coffee table. Oh, you mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, you sit down in a cabinet. It's basically, you can use it like a coffee table, but also it's Pac-Man. That'd be really fun. I think that would be fun. Yeah.

I don't know. This Indiana Jones comic is terrible. Oh, did you look it up? No. Someone sent it to me like five seconds after you said it. Well, I said it. It looks awful. I didn't promise anything.

Yeah, he didn't say anything about it. You promised nothing and you delivered less. Ooh, a hammock would be a good one. That'd be fun. It's not weird. That's not weird at all. Hammocks are great. A gashapon machine would be fun, but only if I cared about what was in it.

Yeah, but then you'd just have to restock it. That's the problem. To create the illusion that it works. If it always gave me a new thing, I would want the Danganronpa gashapon machine where it has infinitely more things than it could possibly have. Every time I get something, there's a chance that it'll never be the same thing. We got one coming in from another Liam. He says, hey, Super Vest Trio, I'm Loving Dark Souls, the LP, and having a good time

with it. Any of you tried out Scholar of the First Sin and did you enjoy it more? I actually really need to actually do that because I never did. I haven't tried it either. I played it for an hour and a half, maybe, and they changed a lot. There's a lot that's really different, and it's like a completely new game. I'm really waiting to revisit to at some point, and I'm happy that that exists for when that time comes.

It's a pretty unique situation because there's a complete remix of a game like that. Everyone generally agrees that it's a lot better, so I'm looking forward to the whole new version of the game. At the very least, it's more consistent with what it wants to be, where a lot of the large enemy packs or whatever, like the areas or the situation they have are more designed around that as opposed to just thrown at you. I don't feel immediately like playing that again, but I'm sure there will come a time when I feel like it.

I appreciate that every month someone mentions it to me so that I remember that it exists. I would like to see that more often. I would gladly pay $20 for Dark Souls 3 or Dark Souls 1 remix. I'm in the middle of watching this video called In Defense of Dark Souls 2. By H. Brammerguy? Yeah, I believe so. The hour and a half long. Yes, I am also in the middle of watching that video.

It's interesting, isn't it? I need to finish it. Yeah, because some points seem valid, other points are more like... Some points, I'm like, fuck you, let's fight, but others, I'm like, fair enough. I'm listening. I'm not there, but I'm like, I'll listen to this. I'll think about this. Anyway, we'll have to both finish it, but it brings up a lot of interesting points.

The guy was making a video about Bloodborne, and he was saying he kept bringing up things like Dark Souls 2. And people are like, what the fuck are you talking about? So he's like, okay, fuck this, I need to just separate all that content and make it its own thing. I would like for him and Matthew Matosis to have a nine hour argument. Considering how much he targets Matthew Matosis in his arguments, exactly. The one with the idea that the reason why you see so many normal people with swords

in DS2 is because that was a rare, but also one of the best parts of one. I'm like, yeah, actually, I do get that. It was. It absolutely was. And when you drop a list like that, you go Velstat and Fume, and you know, I know you didn't like Lost Center, but I did, and... I like Lost Center, just fine. And the pursuer...

I like Lost Center, rather. The only one that's a stanker, abject stanker? Pursuer plays a lot like the last boss of Demon Souls as well. The only one that's an abject stanker is Smelter. Yes. And unfortunately, they use it twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you know, and I'm like, I do understand that point and respect it.

Like... I'm probably gonna play Lost Scholar. Sin. Yeah. Nailed it. Turrock. I will name my character Turrock. There you go.

That's where we want to get. We've got one coming in... Hmm. Actually, there's related ones. What does Turrock look like? We'll start here. He looks like a Native American with... It depends on the version.

Yeah. John Turrock or Turrock? John Turrock. The dinosaur hunter. Because the Native American comic book hero that became the N64 game is a Native guy, and he's got tech bows, and he's got like the feather, and he's got like... And then there's Jonathan Fierceed, who looks like a young guy with a Rambo bandana. And like jeans.

Wait. His name's Fierceed? Yeah. So, what's John Turrock? John Turrock, I think, is like the Marine guy from the reboot. Hmm. Matt, is the reason that you had your hair like that for a while, because you wanted to be like the guy from Turrock?

No. Okay. I'm just checking. What's your... What's the question? The question is, basically, between costs of game consoles, games, online costs, add-ons, and so on, is gaming getting more prohibitive for the average person in middle to lower class?

No. For example... Interesting. Hold those thoughts. This is what the podcast is for. For example... Well, that's pretty much the perfect... If I want to purchase a new console, like a PS4, the minimum cost is 350 Canadian, plus

if I want to play online at 60 a year for PS Plus, and on top of that, I have to buy another controller for 75, new games range from 60 to 90 Canadian. This cost adds up pretty fast. It does. It's expensive. And he has a second point, which is I'm 36 and I can only purchase one console right now, so like, yeah, how do I play this? It feels a lot more expensive because there's way more things that you view as necessary

or somewhat necessary. Online costs is the big one, followed by peripheral prices are way higher than they ever were. But in real dollars adjusted to inflation, games are, like, explicitly cheaper than they ever have been. That copy of Super Turbo that cost fucking 100 bucks in, like, what, 96? That would cost, like, almost $200 now. Like the cost of games, like the cost of consoles has stayed in real value, somewhat stable. The cost of games, however, has gone down and down and down and down.

And now there are cheap games you can buy, whereas back in the day, there's not really such things. But the problem is that... Because the price has stayed the same while the game has gotten more expensive. So the problem is that nowadays there's more expenses to your life in general. You have to pay for your internet bill, you have to pay for your cell phone, you have to pay for a lot of things and there's a lot of options and distractions, whereas back in the day, as games were more expensive, like you said, there was less stuff to actually

spend your money on. So I will argue that you are unarguably able to say that it's more expensive because DLC did not exist, microtransactions did not exist. Extra purchases on top of your $70 did not exist. But even a full priced game with its season pass is still likely cheaper in real value adjusted dollars than the equivalent cartridge back in the day. And those games, a lot of them. And we talked about fucking short games, you get not a lot of value for today.

Dry back 20 years ago when you bought fucking, what's the really good example that Gershman always uses? You bought fucking Strider for $90 and beat it in two hours. Yeah, where I go with this is that it is getting prohibitively expensive. It's ramping up, you're seeing more and more costs and you're seeing like, especially when you go with, you take all those things I was just mentioning, and like as you just said, an online pass and a... There hasn't been an online pass in a long time.

Not in a combat style, but rather the Sony slash Nintendo slash Microsoft paying for the service thing annualized. Games as a service is something that I got to watch happen internally at the companies I was doing QA for. And I was there at the presentations where they were introducing this term and trying to tell people this is a new concept, we need to get used to it. We need to start designing games around the idea that they're ongoing services, not single purchases.

So here's the thing. I believe that Matt has a strong point with cost of living adjustment going up over time in general because of more things that are viewed. But I'm damn certain that if you go and do the math on the inflation and adjust the values, that even the priciest battlefield one average consumer of the season pass would still be cheaper than its equivalent back in the day. There's one other problem. Even if you throw in the fucking month, a yearly cost of online.

It's kind of like an unfair comparison though, because in general, because when you say you're talking about the past, you don't mean someone of your age back then. You're talking about yourself as a child who has way more free time. And if someone were to get like battlefield, the most expensive thing, you actually have less time to play and you might, you know, depending on the game franchise, whatever, they might have, they might be playing it less because they don't have enough time to spend. Because on average, I feel like games nowadays are longer and have more value than they did

back when we were kids. That's true. Difficulty was more often the way you kept longevity. Yeah. Because a lot of arcade ports. Now, exactly. And so the thing is, is that you're getting that part of it. Also we're just here heading towards higher end shit, like VR is not something the average

person is going to get into. I have a gaming PC. Guess what? That blows out a full half of my argument. So what I think, and this is the part that's like, eh, you can take this point or leave it, right? I think that like, when you are in a situation where you're like, oh, fuck, how do I juggle this?

Right? I think it's actually okay to have a not up to date library of games to play because the less expensive older games and consoles are still available. That giant 360 and PS3 library aren't going anywhere and there's no reason that you can't like. Well, some of them are. Games that are multiplayer did go somewhere and they went into the, yeah, a lot of those games that had a, but it only really is hurting you if you have that, like, if you want to

stay current, if you want to ride the wave, what people are doing, then it's really rough. So this is an interesting question, but if you're okay with just playing what you want to and like, not necessarily having to get the new thing, but playing what's good and also possibly old and steam is a lot as a solution for a ton of people. Have a PC that will run these things and you don't have to worry about a lot of this shit. As a kid, we didn't have a lot of money. So I always got a console almost a generation late when the NDS came out on Atari 2600,

when the Super Nintendo was about to come out. I had, I finally got an NES and it went like that until the GameCube is the time to get the console was like three or four years in when the, that bundle came out, that bundle that two or three games. Yeah. The GameCube was the first console I got on launch. Yeah. That's the first one.

Handhelds even, I think I got after the fact. Everything was after the fact. The DS Lite is the first console I ever got on, first handheld I ever got on launch. The DS Lite is, I think, the first console slash handheld that I got on launch. It's extremely, it was very normal to get shit late and then to go ret games and whatnot. So I think that, you know, like nowadays, nowadays you can't really, nowadays the culture is very much pushy about you being current. You know, they want you to be on top of the news and playing the latest thing, waiting

for the biggest release. Kids are going to make fun of you at school, adult. And the internet is here to be like, the internet is like that friend you had at school, right? Where you're now, you now got this extra person that's like telling you about the coolest shit that you're missing. Well, here's, here's a good example. I have a friend of mine, she's not, she's a student, so she kind of broke, right? Typical starving student, right?

And she'll get a game every two months, right? So we'll all be talking about persona and she's like, Hey, can you guys shut the fuck up? Because I'm not going to be able to play that game for two months. And all of you talking about it so much is making me fucking hate it because I want to play it. I can't. Yeah.

And that, that didn't exist in the fucking societal form back in the night before. Yeah. And I, and I, and I think that's, it is, you can't escape persona memes, right? Exactly. And that's just like where our industry went and that's unfortunate, right? That sucks because some people have to get every latest iPhone and then there's people that just have a phone that works and that's fine by them. And like, I know that I feel as if the people that are in like that industry where you want

to get the latest phones are a much smaller cut versus the games industry expectations the size of the amount of people trying to ride the release, the release wave is so much bigger in video games than it is in something like phones that it is in movies. It's bigger than movies, which you didn't used to be. People catch movies late all the fucking time or just never see them. And that's normal. Yeah. Yeah.

You know, so this is interesting to me because the thing I could have just not went back to seeing the revenue and it would have been my life. I'm thinking about this and we're, we're, we're answering a slightly different version of the question because the question is, are games getting prohibitively expensive? And you said no when I say it has to. And that depends on you. That's a very, we're looking at like a Fermi's paradox thing with math here, whereas you're plugging in different numbers for different people, right?

Because I'm answering the question, are games more expensive than they used to be, right? And the answer is, the answer I believe is no, right? But and Matt's answering the questions like how much more expensive are they in the context of your average life now writing the writing what percentage and the answer is probably more. And then it's like, how do I put this up with it? Like, I think, I think the problem we're running into is that we're like, you're also right. And that just all this, the release wave is causes, it pushes people towards the more

expensive shit faster than they want. And I think the problem is, is that like back in the day, there was games. I remember games depreciating value much less than they do now over time. I remember games, the cartridges staying valuable for quite some time at the store else they would just disappear. And then you would have to find them in the used game. I think like back in the day, gaming had a very set cost. It was the console and it was this and those cartridges could add the fuck up.

They were pricey. I got one game a year during my childhood because it may be two, but that's because I had a sibling that also wanted to split shit with me, right? And it was the set cost. It was a couple hundred bucks for the thing and it was $60 to $90 per thing, right? But nowadays you'll have everything all the way from actually completely free. And that's why Dota and League are so fucking popular, right? All the way to fucking microtransaction nightmare CSGO on your gaming PC, right?

And everything in between because like the season pass thing is like, you don't need to get a season pass. For many games, the season pass is quite a bad value and is not worth it. So I'm having a thought here because like I've spent easily and I think we all spent easily thousands on like a 360, right? And all of its library. Well, I have a whole book. Whereas the idea of spending anything close to $1,000 on GameCube games is ridiculous

back then. That just never happened. You had maybe five or six games and that was your GameCube library. Yeah. So that was the GameCube. Now, going back to each generation, what percentage of not counting later on, like at the time, what percentage of the full library versus what you've played? When I had a Genesis, I felt by the time the Saturn came out that I played like 60% of

all games I'd ever wanted to play on the Genesis. And today, with all my console, like even if I only had a PS4, I wouldn't come anywhere close to that even if I just bought and bought and bought and bought and bought. In rentals, I feel like on the Super Nintendo, I played... Oh, if you had rentals in it, I played everything I wanted to on the Genesis. I feel like in Super Nintendo, of that full list, I've played probably 40% of it. Now, granted, granted, over the course of its life. The N64, I'm confident I played everything I was interested in because I rented everything

there because I could only get like, I only had like five N64 games permanently. And N64, we can say over 50% of the full library, right? Yeah. I could even save. Yeah. Nowadays, ever since, again, we go past the Dreamcast into, you know... The PS2 is impossible. The PS2 as well.

How many PS2 games have you played? I played a lot. I played hundreds. Hundreds. Yeah. And what percentage of the library is that? That's like maybe 30%. Nothing.

Like 20, 30, maybe? Like we've tripled down in the amount of game we're playing and purchasing. We have a fighting game series we do every week in which we find old PS1 and PS2 games. So to talk about... Most of which I've never heard. Yeah. So it, for honor. The ability to actually keep up with this guy.

Like we struggle with it and it's our jobs at the moment. It's absurd to imagine the average person buying and playing all these things. I was just talking to a friend of mine last night and he's like, should I get a PS4? Everybody's talking about a Persona 5 and I'm like, okay, here's what you do. You have a PC right now and he goes, yeah, okay. Wait till the PS4 is about done and GameCube it, right? Go and round up the 10 games that were just like the absolute classics that'll be classics forever and just do that and just sleepwalk through that first two years of the PS5 when

software support is garbage. Because I'm thinking of like Trong, Thomas. Yeah. Mom. Mom. Yes. Hello, Mom. Like, you know, you put out the tweet that just everyone was thinking which was like, wow,

so many fucking games. And it's like, we went over this I think last week with like Horizon and Nier and you know... ...I don't thinkraisin is in the dumpster for me basically, even though I can't read. Horizon, Nier, Persona, Xelda... Um, uh. What am I missing there? Yakuza. Yakuza, um...

Yakuza. Yakuza. And probably something else that I'm stupidly ignoring. Yeah. Hey, there's a billion. Yeah. And that's like, let's say that's eight things. Hey, you don't even play, Dota!

But it's like... That is in the span of three months maybe. And like who's- That's because what we got in this quarter feels like three years. I'm a genesis. Who's not just time-wise, but like who's throwing that much money out on each release every week? Like crazy idiots.

You know? So, um, I absolutely think it's harder and I absolutely think it's more expensive. And I think that- Well, it's more expensive to you because you're a crazy bleeding angel like the rest of us. And I don't think it's gonna slow down. And I think the second part of your question, which is how you deal with it, is you stop and look at what you want to play and you don't try to ride the current wave. You just stick with what is in your interest.

But it's like just advertising in general. You missed really good things that came out two years ago. You're playing near, but everyone's like, ah, no persona now. And people that are still finishing Zelda are being told to play near. Yes. And if- And you're playing near and shut up, play persona. If you just want to hunker down and play one thing and like that's where your money

gets invested. That's fine. Yeah. Like I'm trying to do it too. But the industry doesn't want you to. The industry wants you to have bought all of those. Of course. And that won't change.

That's- I have kicked starter games. I've kicked hundreds of dollars into that I haven't finished because a hot new release I'd been waiting for for years came out right alongside them. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that like right now at the very least- Terrible.

If the money issue is a constant current thing that offer a month to month as a problem, the smartest thing you probably can do right now is just have a steam account. With a decent computer. And you've got humble bundles dropping every now and then. So the PC gaming thing has always been the same thing. The initial cost is considerably higher. But the long-term cost, if you're willing to crank settings down, can fucking really go.

Moving on that near release, in Discord, we're like fiending, you know, remember? Because it's like, yeah, that's the most cost-effective solution right now. If you want to sort, if you want the option to be current without being forced into it. You can get games day one on PC for like $34. You know, that's what you get with a PC. If you want the best spread of possibly getting to play everything, but even then, you're going to miss a horizon, you're going to miss a bloodborne, you're going to miss the last of us.

You know what, man? Something. So there's not a full proof way. You know, like let the hype train roll on out. It's fun. Oh yeah, you have strong ass willpower when it comes to this. You can just sit and let the train go. You've got a backlog.

It's going to be fun. You're going to enjoy it. And no one can take that away from you. But hey, here's the way. You don't have to get on the train. Here's the way that I'm trying to think about. It's like, hey man. But I think that has a limit, though.

I think. But the limit is how much you care. But what I say is that like when you're limit, when you've gone past generations, that's when this becomes a problem. I disagree entirely. And if this, one of my favorite things ever is that when one of you guys tells me, hey, did you ever play this? I go, no.

And then you show me something I've never heard of. And I go, oh, oh, I completely missed this one. Right. Oh, and this, this game just came out of the ether to just be handed to me. I mean, something very specific. I mean, like you're going to be playing Arkham City when Arkham mega night is out. Well, that's slightly different. That's the specific reason I mean, where I'm like, things will actually, it's going to

be so much so much time is now gone that things will not be as impressive because you didn't miss out on. But if I needed Batman in my veins, I do that as example. I know I would have jumped on that. But I didn't. You know, fair enough. I'm super late to RE4 and I enjoyed it when I did. But well, a certain you need to be a certain kind of person and appreciate that.

And I remember, I remember both of my roommates playing persona three every day, hardcore on launch. Like all that music was burnt into my brain and you're like, that's catchy. Yeah. And that was the end of that. And years went by before I even considered you're, you're, you're way beyond the curve on this one, though. You're, you're abnormal in your ability to hold off on that stuff in the gaming sphere

anyway, because it doesn't become less fun. All you miss out. No, that is no, that it for you. That's true for most people. Yes, it does. You miss out. You miss out on like fun conversation with your friends in the, in the moment.

But so here's the, I still can sit and have fun with here, here's, here's the problem. I like to think that I have this, but I don't think I have it as much as you and it's and the same thing with Matt. The game matter about equal and you have it more strongly. I love the ability to appreciate what a game was when it came out, not when it is now, but some people have that zero. Some people cannot go back to say chrono trigger now and remarket how big the sprites are or how colorful it is or how high quality the music is for its time.

Instead, all they feel is that they missed out on something they would have found amazing because it's too old now and they've seen it go so much farther. I don't like this ukulele game. I don't get why it's like this. I see what you mean. It's weird to me because if you have a frame of reference for the era, then you should be able to do that. But,

Why is this so old? Go back and watch some Hollywood movies around like 2000s and look at the bad fucking CG. CG? Oh yeah. I know. Dude, early N64 3D. I know what you're talking about. Look at that and imagine that you have no ability to see the context of for the time.

It sucks. Going back to anything before 3D controller cameras figured their shit out. Going back to Shadows of the Empire on the N64 and using that C button for camera controls. We still haven't gone back in on Jet Force and you're like scared. Well, think of stuff. It took a while to figure out. These people don't exist in a vacuum, right? They know that other games exist.

They know that other media exists. Think of Metal Gear Solid 1 and how mind-blowing that was at the time and how it was such a big deal that A, it was all voice acted and B, the first couple of moments like, oh my god. Send them a talk. Yeah. The guards on my footprints. Well, you did that.

You know, stuff like that. The system is not... The system is not... Yeah. And it's not foolproof. The hope is that the idea that you prioritize your own shit means the stuff that you care about the most will be at the forefront. You know?

You're not going to be constantly delayed. Well, the problem is is that I care about too much and there are too many things that come out that I'm like that one. And like the past month or two is a really good example where it's like, I don't care about Zelda. I really don't. But that's a good, god damn Zelda game, man. That's a good fucking game.

So I played it. And like... And I don't care about near or drag guard, but that's a good goddamn game and I'm going to play it. You know, and like... And then P persona comes out. And then this comes out. And you guys haven't like felt the side of the industry that is playing something competitive

for an extended period of time. I play an MMO. And that's not competitive, but... But yeah, it's a time sink. But like... But it's a sink. It's a real sink. Like there is no such thing as being done.

Being a part of your schedule is fucking cool. So MMOs have a actually really weird version of that in which that continues for 20 months and then the three months before the expansion when everything is done. Like the question that I answered earlier, I'm done with Heaven's Word. I did everything. You have to put a mental check. And there is nothing for me to do in that game anymore for three months. And now I get to feel like what it's like having those three nights back a week where

I can play anything that I want or I can stream or I can watch a movie, right? But like when that expansion comes out, those nights are gone again because that just eats them, right? And it's weird because competitive doesn't have off season. No. It just keeps going and we get updates. Because your off season is practice. And it's really just like, do you double down because a major is coming up or not and that's

about it. And it's funny because I remember thinking like, well, if I play MMO, I guess I'll save a bunch of money because I won't buy as many games and no, I'm actually losing money because I'm buying the games and not finishing them. Yeah. We see that you see how many people are getting those trophies for beating a game. It's excessively low. It's crazy.

It's low. So yeah, that's it. I just think you got to relax a little bit and not worry so much about it. There is a abject solution to this question, however, and you can do it with math and you do it with adjusted real world dollars of the products. The average, you would expect somebody to spend per year and you adjusted via cost of living since, let's say 92, right? And it's a math problem.

You can figure it out. Or you can just ask yourself, do I give a shit? Or you just back it off or turn it up if you want. You just have to look at it, stare at the box and go, eh, I'll get back to this. I don't have that ability. And you know what? Scala the first sin will still be waiting for you. One day.

Actually, I think I might actually play it. Once I'm done with this batch, I think I might throw myself ahead of that. No one's taking it away. I don't think we're going to. That was a great question. I think we're done for this podcast. Yeah. Who asked that question?

That came in. Turok Shadow, man. Baby. Well, it was a good question. Good question. If you rewind the podcast, I'm sure he says your name at some point. Oh, that came in from Guillaume. Wait, really?

Yeah. Well, his name is Guillaume. Different. Yeah. Okay. I mean, he's from Montreal because who else is going to be named Guillaume? Well, he could be from Quebec City. But he said he's from Montreal.

Okay. Good job, Guillaume. Thanks, Guillaume. What's coming up? What's coming out? And how do we get out of here? There's more Dark Souls coming every day. The door's over.

We're getting there. Progress is getting made. You are. Oh, yeah. What is going? More adventures with Mr. Shakedown? Well, one more. Yeah.

Well, no. There will be many more in the future. Oh, there will be many more, unfortunately. I don't know if that side quest video has gone up of us talking about a person. I don't think so because we would know. We would know. We would know. It's a very good episode of Yakuza incoming.

Yeah. And we have one more episode of The Bat Boys to record. The Bat Boys? Yeah. The, you know, the, like, Will 20 Face Emerge? Let's D20 Face. Hold on. You got to save that.

It's got to. No, it's already been done. Save it for Nationals. Yeah. Yeah. How do you beat? How do you level up two face? Harvey.

With three face. But uh. Harvey Dent is no longer my best friend. Now Joker. Now Living Tribunal is my, living Tribunal. Like, you know, all jokes aside, about, you know, 60 episodes to Artorias or whatever. But like, I've got two sessions left. Once we hit the DLC, I was like, oh, we're going in for a while.

And then that went much faster than I expected. And so did the session after it. So yeah, there are two, there are two sit downs left. Maybe three. Three if you get stuck on anything, right? If there are, there are, there's a, there's one cliff and one boss that I think you might get stuck on. But aside from that, no, we're looking at three sit downs maximum.

So by the end of, uh, the end of next week, we'll be done with Dark Souls. It's the better chaos, isn't it? Yeah. It's the better chaos. Everyone keeps talking about the better chaos. And there's a cliff in the Tomb of Giants. Yeah. That people fall off quite a bit.

Okay. Um, yeah. You're going to, whoa, that's a, that's a shitty boss. That's the problem with it. It's not that it's hard. It's shitty. It's terrible. No, the cloud does bring things to me about, like, can't wait for his dick to get eaten

by this. By that shit. So. Oh, that being said, I like that its name is so nondescriptive. You're fighting a bed. Yep. I have my ideas. Yeah.

I have my ideas. What do you think it is? It sounds like a large lava pit and it sounds like, that's like giving birth to stuff. It sounds like it's going to have mechanics that are not normal to a normal boss. You got some of that. And that's all I can say. Yeah. Um, what are we looking forward to, guys?

Um, I'm continuing to play the one game that I'm playing right now because that's all you. Oh, look at you, Mr. Big Man. Got one game. No, it's just, it's, it's everything that I have time for. I mean, I'm just smarter than us. No. I have shit going on.

I mean, yeah. How about you, Matt? I was going to say, I was going to, I'm going to check out the first episode of Telltale's Gardens of the Galaxy. Yes. That's tomorrow, right? That's tomorrow night, a Tuesday night at 8 p.m. just to see, I am not having fun with Batman.

So I'm like, maybe, and maybe this is the tales of the Borderlands team. I feel like it, they could have reused a lot of shit for the galaxy there, you know? So hopefully, hopefully that's good. And where could they find that? Matthew. Find that at twitch.tv slash Matthew McMussles. Cool. I'm also going to be hopefully beating Nier on stream myself at Angra's Pat.

I've been told that once you beat all the side quests and you get to a certain point, you just like just plow through ending after ending after ending in a row. And if you enjoy tabletop and campaigns of that nature, we have some fun, stupid shit going down in table lords. You playing a wizard in that shit? No. I'm playing. Somebody told me you're playing a wizard.

I'm not a wizard. No. In this episode, we all got our shit pushed in. Everyone died except me, Guts and Griffith and Casca joined the party. They had a baby. The baby died and then they got so sad that they killed themselves. So we lost them. Then.

It's a board game. Yep. And then Chie and Akihiko showed up. Yeah. They had a baby and that was OK. Our settlement continues onward and Plague wiped out everybody. Some random guy showed up, gave me a giant sword and walked away. It's a sword I can't use, but I'm forced to hold on to it.

But the sentiment is... You rolled dice? You rolled dice. And right now I'm just a shitty survivor. This is one of those use your imagination things. Well, this is boring. I don't know what you mean. Well, that's that's why I'm explaining that because he's like confused, like he thinks

people are coming into your house. Yeah. Yeah. And the baby looked at you. We are down to about five people, I think, in Stankonia. That's the name of our settlement. I believe that. And Bonerland.

Me, Mothman. Wait. It's P-what? Bonerland. Thank you. Brennan Williams, the Shogun of NXT are all continuing. So that's Table Lords on Willy Versus. Those real people?

Real people. No, no, I mean, because you're like, then Chie and Akihiko showed up and had a baby. They came in to his house. I'm having a serious issue figuring out who's playing the game and who are a bunch of characters you made up. Good. It's the whole point. All right.

Can we call it? Can you do a Willy? I have an idea for Willy Versus. You should you should reenact the one you're done your Table Lords game. You should enact the story of Table Lords with your green screen and costume. And it should be blood-vertized. Not if I can't get Brennan and other people in person. Just paint dummies.

Yeah, just paint dummies. Just Photoshop them in. It's not the worst idea. I mean, yeah. Do you know about Harman Quest? Dan Harman. Yeah, I'm familiar with the name, but I'm not. He's doing a D&D show and like there's an animator that animates their bullshit.

See, that's great. As they play and it's fucking hilarious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's one of those things. That'd be that'd be pretty sure. All right. It's going to be about that time. It's about that time.

As Matt's dad would put it. Yeah. Yeah. Get out. It's about that magical hour. That was the most fucking... That hour where those people have to get out. Those people.

If we had a finished basement, it would have been fine because you can't hear, but we were one floor below and we were screaming and hollering and they wanted to go to sleep because they're old. We were... We spent too long in the Polish man's house. Do you think one day we'll get old and start going a bit early? Yes, I do. I don't think that's going to happen.

Thanks, Willie. I don't think that's going to happen. Me and you continuing the race. Awaken dreams. All right. So guess what? What? Shit's fucked and I can't stop recording.

So we're just going to have to... So we'll wait. We're just going to have to... We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait.

We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait.

We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait.

We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. We'll wait. Rishi, Hino, Ritura, Shibekai, Garmin, Kousu Aini, Yatsuru, Waiya, Hormura, Rude, Hido, Motobii Kawakushi, Raji, Kousu, Yasui, Tode, Shintenshi, Kousou Megashinen, Ikkyou, Amuro, Bando, Nobare
