Starting point is 00:00:00 Once again, it's the Concasts. Are we underwater this time? We're not underwater. Wait, let me confirm. You want a check? Let me confirm. I have my scuba gear. We are not, in fact, underwater.
Starting point is 00:00:29 This time it's... It's over here. Yeah. No. We don't nearly have as many warriors. No. I think the manliness of the room was what affected the actual equipment. Ah.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Yeah, the equipment retreated on the floor. All our alpha waves just put in to destroy the equipment. Right. So that was the alpha cast. This is the beta cast. Yeah. There we go. All right.
Starting point is 00:00:53 So who do we have? ConBravo 2017 cast, and we're here with myself, Matt, and... Little V. Hey. Hey. Musician. And... Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:05 International musician man of mystery. Yeah. There you go. There you go. And... And Brennan Williams, the WWE and the WWE Network for $9.99 a month. There you go. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Good job. One of these gentlemen in this room started out ConBravo ripping their shirt off to another man, applauding crowd. Can you take a guess who it was? It was Matt. Hey. Hey. I love that stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:32 I love showing off my workout body. Oh. Yeah. No, man. I'm a glorified stripper. I feel, look. What wrestler really is an athlete when you have the end of the day, you know? You gotta at least have that energy, I think, to go more.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah. They're stripping aura. Yeah. Exactly. You're stripping meter. Fill up your meter.
Starting point is 00:01:59 You're stripping time. Everybody in the audience has to believe. You probably won't. I mean, you got your shirt off and you're like, you know, every match you take off my vest or whatever. So it's like, hey, maybe you'll go a little bit further. You know, if you keep your clothes on, that's when you gain the most meter because that's like the riskiest thing.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Yeah. Yeah. So like, oh, Brennan's sitting on a lot of meter. What's he gonna do? He's gonna take it off. He's gonna take it off. Oh, he didn't need to finish. He didn't need to pop them.
Starting point is 00:02:26 It's the super. Yeah. Also, there's very few professions where like right before getting into like the meat, the meat of it, you like, you're standing behind the door and then greasing yourself up a little bit. Boy, is there two of them are stripper and wrestler. Yeah. Like, it's the oil.
Starting point is 00:02:42 That's the, you gotta make some decisions and go, all right. Coconut Vasili. Oh man. Well, yeah, we might as well get right into how we had our weeks and we're going to actually do the unthinkable in a contest and cover the news, you guys. So there's news. There is news. But before the news, there was weeks and Lil V, AKA James, how did you start your week?
Starting point is 00:03:09 Oh, week was pretty good. I had everything from being accused of being a fentanyl smuggler by the cops to sleeping in Walmarts or not in Walmarts in Wal-Mart parking lots. The parking lot is way nicer than the Wal-Mart. Superstar international musician, everybody. And yeah, so it's my first con bravo and figured, I'm Canadian. It's Canadian. Why not?
Starting point is 00:03:32 And come down here, make some contacts. I know. I know a lot of people here. What a Canadian attitude about it. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I do. I'm Canadian. So if I go to this Canadian thing, I'll be safe.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Yeah. Hamilton. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I basically drove out here because I'm crazy and everyone looks at me like I'm insane going from Calgary. When you told me you did that, I was like, yeah. Explain to me where Calgary is on the map and comparison where we are.
Starting point is 00:03:57 North of Montana. Montana. Oh, yeah. Okay. What are we above in America? Montana to New to Detroit. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Yeah. So it's pretty far. It's 3,500 kilometers. So whatever. That's probably like 28. What is that mile? It's probably like 2700 miles and I did that in three days because I'm insane and I enjoy driving.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Car living. And I mean, you get used to it in musician or you don't. And then you have a really terrible, terrible tour experience and yeah. And it's, yeah, got all the way down here, slight run with the cops. Now, let me say slight run in with the cops. So slight run of the cops was driving, I mean, I drive fast and ironically I didn't get caught in the fast zone and coming around a corner and, and I see the cop, I'm slowing down and, and I'm also at that point I realized, oh yeah, I'm from a province that doesn't
Starting point is 00:04:52 need a front license plate. So and he starts moving. I'm like, oh, so I'm thinking, oh, he's thinking score I got coming up behind and just backs right off and goes, oh, so for about the next, let's say 10 minutes, he's following me and then finally pulls me over. I'll pull light though. Yeah, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:11 In America, they're just like, hey, shoot you. Yeah, we'll figure this out later. And right down to the, oh, hey, can you just pull a little more further off the slide? Yeah, no worries. I'm really sorry I had to pull you over, but I noticed you didn't have a front license plate. And, and, and so, you know, it was, oh yeah, you're going, going a little faster, a little faster, bud. And I'm like, oh, yeah, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:33 And we do our, we do our whole, we do our whole spiel. And then he comes, hey, can I, can I, can I ask you some questions and like, uh, okay. And he follows it up with, but you can, you can leave now if you want, you can totally leave now if you want his words. And I'm like, okay, well, not how, what does that mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like, so, you know, you mentioned you were going to Hamilton and well, you know, Calgary and Hamilton have been having some problems with a particular drug.
Starting point is 00:05:58 And I just look up. Oh, I thought you were going to say Calgary and Hamilton are going to war. And so I just look at, the very ICBMs, and so at this point, I just look it up at him and go, did you just accuse me of being a fentanyl smuggler and fentanyl basically being like super heroine? Like it's, it's, it's bad and news right now. Yeah. And, and he's like, and it's like, yeah, I was kind of looking to go like, no.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And then I followed up with, no, does that work? Just just asking. Yeah. Yes, I followed. I'm really sorry. Sorry. Yeah. Sorry there, but you got me right there and it still falls up so nothing illegal in the
Starting point is 00:06:48 car. No. All right. All right. All right. And then flash down to Southern Ontario and they're like riding your ass on the highways if you're not speeding because I'm like, what are you doing, idiot? What are you doing the speed limit for?
Starting point is 00:07:04 Keep going. You're holding up traffic. So yeah, Northern Ontario, really interesting, very interesting. And then just general con going stuff, checking out all the, all the events, watching all the concerts and I got pretty much all of my friends or performers this year and actually ended up coming to the rescue because family Jules who was playing had a guitar problem and he's having some problems with his little device. There's a device on the guitar that makes it, you know, the whammy bar whole configuration.
Starting point is 00:07:33 It's got a special place in hell if it's not set up properly. And it's essentially what it is, it's balancing strings in a spring. And if it's not perfectly aligned, it's just throwing the trash, it's throwing the garbage. So I was just, hey, I have my guitar on me and then boom, it all kind of worked out and except for... You're standing there and you're like, you know, I have my guitar and you pull it out of like your pocket. Oh, you have shiny sheets on.
Starting point is 00:08:01 But you know, it's okay because Jules, he, you know, he's, it's fine. He uses little baby, little, little baby bit strings and so, you know, I use, you know, those listening, he's using nines and that's, you know, it's fine. I had 11s, you know, so he kind of had to work a little harder to, you know, to do his job. No one's ever been pressed by nines. No, right? It's just, you know, I mean, it's, you know, so, you know, it's, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:08:24 It's fine. Yeah, you saved the day. You saved the day. Yeah, I just showed up. You saved the day with your big manly 11. Exactly. And yeah. And then ever since then, just been kind of hanging out.
Starting point is 00:08:35 There's never been like a failing let's play where like a side YouTuber showed up and what, yeah, I brought a bigger controller because you're stupid dumb bitch controller. I have an original Xbox controller. Or like those like esports like controller, like, you know, the elite has all like the little like plungers and like, he comes in with that. He's like, this will give you the types of presses per minute that Omicron needs. Omicron could have been prevented. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:07 That's, that's, that's interesting. So that's what like, like musicians or guitar guys would kind of measure up to each other. Oh, guitar guys are the worst. It's just like constant dick measuring contest between all guitar players and not drummers, not bass players, not anything else. And it's like, oh, I can play faster. I use better stuff. And it's, and it's just like, yeah, okay, okay, everyone just kind of settled out.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I'm a drummer originally. So I just kind of, all right, all right. Well, I mean, like there's no doubt in my mind that frontmen are all just like comparing pain and then how angsty you can get and such and how like push to the edge, your look can be worse, you know, there's that going on. There is an art to being a frontman, probably very similar to being a wrestler where you just, you gotta, I would imagine, you gotta, you gotta just, there's, and then you get the rare Chris Jericho that is both.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yeah, literally both. There you go. And actually fun fact, one of my favorite musicians, the shirt I am wearing, which plays great for audio. Yes. Devon Townsend. If you haven't heard of him, I'm just gonna show him out because he's a fantastic musician. Chris Jericho did some work with him on an album.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Really? Yeah, it's on an album called Ziltoid the Omniscient. It's about an alien that needs coffee to fuel his interdimensional time-traveling space ship. It's a good aesthetic. And I believe he played a character by the name of Captain Spectacular, who ended up being spoilers, Ziltoid's half-brother and possessor of the ultimate coffee bean. Canadians are great.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Dude, by the way, this guy's from Surrey, Devon Townsend from Surrey. Can you tell? Okay. That's one of my favorite ideas. That's a B.C. That's a B.C. Boy right there. Okay, so that's not on a Chris's head, then.
Starting point is 00:10:46 That's all right. No, that is good old Devon Townsend. He's from Winnipeg, you idiot. Go back to Geronimo. That's so good. Oh, man. I'll cry. I guess...
Starting point is 00:10:57 I don't know if you had any time to play any video games or anything like that, or are you just in the car? Pretty much just in the car. Fortunately, actually, I got a hookup on a switch and found one because Calgary has been completely bare. I saw one and I regret not grabbing it. I think Calgary just get the GameCube. Probably.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Probably. It's one of those cities where it's like, hey, we want to do some art. We're going to just make a no-joke, just a giant blue ring, I think special about it, and we're going to put it next to the highway, except for it's not going to be next to the highway. It's going to be about a mile away from the highway. So this is tiny little, yeah, it's Calgary's weird, very bizarre. Anyway, so yeah, switch showed up the day before I left.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I'm very excited to start playing it. You start playing it while driving, and you're like, you know, the same time. Hey, knee driving is a skill and an art that one must possess. What type of, really quickly, what type of, like, what's the genre that you actually, a few genres you actually like playing? Well, I'm particularly more of like a rock and metal guy. I typically do that the most on my channel, especially, but I also like blues, jazz, country, all that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Just, you know, general, I just like music. So it's like, what game would you like also for genre? Oh yeah, I should probably mention that. You made a game genre. Yeah. Did I say music? No, you just said genre. You said genre.
Starting point is 00:12:18 You're speaking to a musician. Yes. So the word gets filtered straight through the music. Where is he? Where is the translator? Yeah. It's genres. I grew up on shooters, actually.
Starting point is 00:12:29 My dad showed me Wolfenstein 3D on the Mac, which has way better music. And it's way better. It's so much better. And it scared the shit out of me because I was five and I had nightmares of German soldiers walking up my hallway from my room going, that's not happening. And ever since then, I was like, hold on, it's, oh God, so good. And then from there, first game I ever bought was actually, no, I was Super Nintendo first and then Super Star Wars was pretty much like my game of choice for a bit.
Starting point is 00:13:02 And then, and Super Godzilla, I had that and, oh man, and I did not know, I did not know how bad it was until way later. And then of course, you know, Goldeneye and kind of in the perfect dark, Ocarina of Time. And so I typically got... So Zelda goes without mention that you're going to try to get, yeah? Of course. I don't know. Ready to see.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Are you into racing games at all? A little bit. A little bit. Yeah, particularly an RPG and a shooter, a lot of single-player games just because I am one of those few people that had dial-up all the way up until 2009, which, yes, I said 2009. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Did they even still have dial-ups? Yes. They still do now. Yes. They're still there. And it's... Somebody's using AOL. The last.
Starting point is 00:13:51 The last sold the last left. Yeah. Yeah. They don't even know the war is over. It's like the people that are in the jungle and walking through the islands. Which, even funnier, considering now I'm an internet-based musician, but... And, yeah. They've been singing Forever Up all this video.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Oh, boy. I... I mean... Mother, put down the phone! Mother, put down the phone! Oh, yeah. And then my dad was, you know, businessman and four-hour phone calls, and it's like... So my internet was all this figuring out how to get past the firewalls at school and figuring
Starting point is 00:14:22 out, like, new grounds at, like, you know, at, like, 2000... Hacking! At, like, 2008, so way past the point of it being cool. Well, you must have, like, a really interesting perspective on the internet. Yeah. I kind of got hit with a wave, and it was just like, oh, okay. And... But, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:42 So, then that. And so I'm big into, you know, single-player games, RPGs, a lot of Bioware stuff, a lot of... A lot of StarCraft, too. Love StarCraft. And a few fighting games, although I was definitely not great at, which, again, I think the end is still kind of fine. Some good-ass...
Starting point is 00:14:59 I just never was sure. Yeah. Because you do covers for, like, a variety of games. What is the actual... Well, I love all the music. The thing is... Yeah. There's some good-ass music at StarCraft.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Oh, God, yeah. So there's good-ass music at almost any game, and it's... That's kind of how I get introduced to a lot of stuff now, is, like, honestly, I can play a game where the game is eh, and, like, or, like, the art style is eh, but, like, if it's got a great soundtrack and gets it hyped up, like, like, I'm totally on board. I can... Like, it can make or break it for me. It's beginning Buck Bumble.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Anybody, Buck Bumble? You should pay to a little V to do a vanity project that covers the theme of Buck Bumble. Like, I get aggressively in people's faces about playing Buck Bumble, but it's like, you don't play Buck Bumble. You just listen to it. That's it. Okay, cool. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Sir. Bretton. I'm going around the circle, and I'm next in the circle. That's clockwise. Yes. Yeah, I had a week as well. Spent most of the week working, as you tend to do, down in the WWE Performance Center in sunny Orlando, Florida, which is really, really sunny right now.
Starting point is 00:16:04 It's super hot. So I was really glad to come to this chilly... Fandrana drift to you. ...chilly Canadian climate. He's so hot right now. Like, I tweeted, I was like, man, I need to go to Canada because it is so hot, and then everybody's like, hey, it's got a bunch of climates in Canada, and I'm like, man, that's really adorable because I used to live in Massachusetts.
Starting point is 00:16:31 And I was like, man, our summers are hot, and I don't like doing training camp in Massachusetts. It's hot in August. And then I moved to North Carolina. Then you went to the real shit. And then I was like, wow, this is a lot harder than home. I don't think... Yeah, I think I take back what I said. Man, I'd kill for a Massachusetts summer.
Starting point is 00:16:47 And then I moved to Houston, and I was like, man, North Carolina is pretty chilly in comparison to this. And then I moved to the swamp of Orlando, and I realized what life was like without breezes. So when I say what's hot, I know what's hot. Yeah, they don't tell you about the Angry Mario 3 song, what you get there. And then somebody had the nerve to get on Twitter and say, hey, but it's like 105 degrees in Arizona. And I was like, yeah, but your nights are chilly, and there's no humidity.
Starting point is 00:17:16 I find a lot of people in Arizona are very quick to be like, don't complain about your weather. Like we were in Evo, and we talked about Evo and how Evo almost killed me because of the hot weather. But Florida, I've spent a bunch of time in Florida as well, and yeah, it's just humid and gross and icky. Yeah, and I lived in Arizona for about three months when I was training for the Combine, and I loved the climate, and that was in the heat, and I liked it a lot, so I'll take that
Starting point is 00:17:48 every day. Yeah, but I had some matches before I left, pretty chill week at work otherwise, and then I came down to, came up to Con Bravo, and I think this is my first time in Canada as an adult. So yeah, I was, oh, I should say before, I had an eventful takeoff in Orlando. Yeah, well, that's something that I should probably bring up. Raiden showed up, got himself almost stopped. I was like, hey, I want to get this nice little vacation, be ashamed if anything happened
Starting point is 00:18:20 to it, and yeah, got a thunder, Raiden flew down and struck the airport twice. What the fuck? So I'm sitting here, and I'm looking out at the, MCO has a monorail, I think it's a very big airport, it's by Disney Land, if land, is it Florida? Yeah, world, world, sorry, if you don't know, so it's a very big airport, and I'm looking out the window because we're getting our five o'clock monsoon, it happens every day, nothing out of the ordinary, but I noticed that the lightning's really hitting hard, like I'm like, man, I figure it's because I'm on the runway, and it's flat, so I'm like, oh, I'm
Starting point is 00:19:01 really seeing these lightning bolts like hit, like touch down, until I saw on the other side of the monorail, lightning just strikes this island and there's an explosion, like a legit fire explosion, and I was like, what is going on, and I look and I thought it was a plane, thank God it wasn't, but like I looked and it was like, oh, lightning hit a tree, it blew off, it set on fire, your flight has been delayed for three hours, and then I look on the other side and there's another fire, so there was fires everywhere, lightning was hitting all over the place, it was a miracle I made it here, but I did, but con wise I've really enjoyed it, we, you know, I spent a lot of time in the dealer's room, bought some
Starting point is 00:19:41 stuff for my kids, I did a bunch of panels today, filmed some stuff, did all the panels today, I had five panels, like that's beyond brutal compared to any other thing, which I was really, did you get roped into like, and you're like, do you want to be on a gardening panel, I don't know anything about it, but I'd love to. It was like, it was like you flew me down, like you can put me to work, like, it's worse. You explained that today, and like, I totally get that, but were you on something that you're like, I don't actually know, like, or were you, it seems like it was mostly anime. It was all stuff that they had seen my credentials, I guess, and they were like, yeah, we're going
Starting point is 00:20:23 to put you on stuff, I was with Jeff in Glass Reflection in the first two panels this morning, and we talked about anime stuff, which I was really intimidated by because I like anime, don't get me wrong, but it's not my job. So these guys, you know, these guys are titans of the anime industry. And I'm like, yeah, but I felt like I really enjoyed it. I think I held my own out there. It was probably a little bit more quiet than them, but I had a lot of fun. And I'd like to, I was telling Matt over lunch, it was like, yeah, there was like a, I could
Starting point is 00:20:52 do a panel of something that I am like a absolute 100% expert on and talk about it for an hour. It wouldn't be too bad. Also, on Friday, we had Super Feud, and I became the champion of the world. Yeah, we were, we were, yep, we were slowly stalling on that one. Despite our bread advantage from our intro, where we was like, let's throw bread. Well, so I guess first things first with like Con Bravo in general, like one thing that's I find really cool is like this, it's been the case in previous years, but this year more than ever, it's like YouTube Con.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Yeah. There's a lot of love for YouTube and, and, and like that side of the internet more than a lot of other Con. I think in the posters, it says like anime, video games, YouTube. Yeah. Yeah. That's, and that's super awesome because it's like, I don't, like, there's no other convention we go to where that is a thing, you know?
Starting point is 00:21:47 I can't think of it. This is like VidCon. Besides the actual, like the, besides the on the nose one, you know, but I mean, there's and I kind of found that like in quite a few cases, there's like, there feels, there feels like there's a some mild disdain, you know, for YouTube in a way because there's, you see some conventions where like you just take a look at who's on the guest list and it's like, it's like nothing to do with even like us, but just you're like, you look at who's there and there's like, no, there's not a single person.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Well, it's definitely a lot more of like the old like, oh, we'll get somebody from Star Trek to come. Right. Yeah. Exactly. You know, perhaps you get some voice actors and you definitely, you know, always you're going to have like video game people and whatnot, but yeah, it just seems weird sometimes where it's just like, you know, you're in the same state as, you know, this huge person
Starting point is 00:22:37 that has a massive audience and, you know, like you kind of just are not inviting or don't really care or whatever the case is, right? Yeah. And I'm like from, you know, knowing a couple of people that like work and handle like invitations on different, it definitely is like something where it comes down to, okay, who do the people that are sending out the invites like personally, right? And it's not necessarily going to be like, who are people asking for, you know? So all that to say, I really love the fact that Kambravo's, you know, specializing in
Starting point is 00:23:07 that. And it actually really worked out well for me because before I even knew that you all guys were going to be here, I knew that Austin was coming. I knew they had asked me to help get them in touch. Austin Creed. Austin Creed. Yes. A whole lot of Austin's going to be here.
Starting point is 00:23:23 I'm not talking about Stone Cold. Yeah. So they asked me to get in contact with him, to get him to the convention, which was his first time being here too. And, you know, after that, I was like, oh, well, I'll go see Team Four Star guys. And I didn't realize that you guys came, is this your third, fourth, fourth year? Yeah. So I didn't realize that you guys came every year, basically.
Starting point is 00:23:49 So at, you know, by the time I realized that I was going, I was like, man, like, this is like all my internet friends. I get to go. Everybody. Yeah. Literally all the warriors. The whole crew. It's super dope, you know?
Starting point is 00:24:01 And that's it. Like, going into, like, yeah, Lil V, you made it out this time as well. Yeah. Well, just to show how, like, YouTube-oriented this whole con is, like, I only came as an attendee. I didn't come as a guest. I mean, stuff like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:13 And I got a, I, you know, just ended up being introduced to the organizers. And I knew who I was and just went here, just take the VIP, but just take it. Yeah. So, yeah. So last year, Star Exorcist showed up as just an attendee, and when they realized she was here, they were like, what? We didn't even, like, we didn't know you were planning to come. You should have contacted us.
Starting point is 00:24:35 And she was like, oh, I didn't think, like, you knew anything. And they hooked her up with a VIP pass and I got her into the line. And then they, and now this year, she has her own booth and was, like, in-pounds. And doing, like, all the art. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The art for the main pass.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Yeah. Yeah. So that's what it is, like, just looking at this list. I'm like, that's a super dope list of friends you invited to one convention and that's awesome. I really love that. I guess, I guess if we're passing the baton going around this way and I'll take it next. So when Pride are arriving, I played some Pyre, the new game from Supergiant Games, and after You love the Pyre.
Starting point is 00:25:18 I'm a fan of the Pyre. And you played it in Paxies two years ago, you were like, I like the Pyre. Yeah. And then you played it again on the second Paxies. I still like it. So basically, you know, Supergiant Games, they made Bastion and then they made Transistor. Those two games are fantastic. Transistor is one of my favorite of all time.
Starting point is 00:25:38 And like, they're both known for the narrator, like narrating your actions after you do them. So he says, like, then, then you went and did this and then you do something else and he goes, or maybe not, you know, that's everything. And it's pretty cool, you know, and like, they kind of tell the story in that way. It's a big part of it. And this time around, yeah, they're going a lot more for like reading because like, you're playing like a sports ball game, but it's a sports ball game in a like fantasy setting where reading is forbidden.
Starting point is 00:26:09 It's magic ball, right? It's like, you have to like bring escort, you have to escort the flame to the Pyre and like extinguish your enemy's Pyre by like using your team of sacred warriors and like you have a reader so that like reading is basically power is magic is everything. And so when you see like the characters walking around something, they have like open books and like, like energies coming from it and things like that. It's very awesome. It's plain football, sports and books don't go together.
Starting point is 00:26:38 But at the end of the day, it's a three on three team where you have a you can have a heavy, a light, a medium or different configurations and they are they're sliding around passing the ball and then dunking in the net, you know, like it's very basic. And so in that sense, the there is they're using their same announcer tech to do, you know, the commentary, to do commentary as opposed to telling the story like they did in previous games. But like Super Giants sort of trademark, besides the basic gameplay functions that you're you're hearing about here, the world itself is just immediately immersive, massive and
Starting point is 00:27:11 like interesting, you know, the hints and tidbits of characters that you like talk to for a few seconds and they're like, oh, I'm off on my own adventure. You're like, that guy could be in his own game. You know, like it's one of those worlds and it's like their biggest game. Because because like Bastion was like five, six hours. And like, it was like three or four hours. But some people tell me this is like a 10 hour. It's they've been working on this longer than any of the other previous games.
Starting point is 00:27:35 So I would believe that and I can say that after two hours and getting like maybe three like sports ball matches of gameplay in two hours and then the rest is just like novel reading, visual novel and like, you know, choosing where your caravan goes and stuff. It's like, yeah, this thing can go this thing can last, but it's going to be a great 10 hours. I highly, highly recommend it. Even if you don't have any past with Super Titan games, if you just want to really cool almost like saga like, you know, like that in terms of just like how deep and interesting the setting is, like if you want to get in with that, pick it up and the art as well
Starting point is 00:28:15 is overwhelmingly like detailed and like there's there's little things where you're like, you didn't need that. Nobody asked you to put that level of detail in the night sky that's in the background there, but there it is. And it's constantly changing because why not? There's a lot of care put in. Yeah, yeah, love, love tons of it. So Pire is incredible so far, then that's out now.
Starting point is 00:28:41 But yeah, and then beyond that, of course, like you said, Com Bravo. And yeah, thankfully this year, I feel like the well, it was usually the Super Feud is like it seems like we kind of fluked into having a pretty slam dunk event last year. And this time around, like they were like, OK, let's step it out. Yeah, no, it turned out to be a more crazy, fantastic event than than we were interested. But we're like, oh, we're going to play some Mario Party. We're going to play a Mario Party with some buddies on on stream. Yeah. And then it turned into like this massive, awesome turn into some type of blood
Starting point is 00:29:15 feud. And the main stage. Four warring tribes. Very, very cool. That's yeah. Yeah, that's the major step up is they got the lighting. They got everything going. And they were like, OK, guys, do your intros. Tell us, talk to the lighting guy, talk to the music guys, set your things up. So we're like, all right, now we got to be a wrestler. We got to commit to the bit, you know, and I too got to be a wrestler.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Yeah, they kept on saying like, hey, we want you to come in early and make sure that you got your stuff down. And it's like, we do this. This is what we do. Yeah, yeah, exactly. This is our job. Yeah. So like, I mean, the rest of us, let's players came in and, you know, did our thing. And so yeah, it was Team Four Star Arcadia and ourselves. Yeah, and us. And then like, basically, like so, you know, Team Four Star came in
Starting point is 00:30:05 and they kind of had their like their characters and whatnot. Everybody was super edgy heels and super edgy, super edgy heels. Yeah, same thing. Same thing for Arcadia. Same thing for us. We were doing it because we were like, we're the returning champions. And last year, we were the baby faces. So this time around, we want to come in returning, holding the belt and being like, excuse me, the championship title.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Belt of fur pants. There you go. Thank you. And, you know, and yeah, we came in and so we just like basically did a run the night before and bought what amounts to a plan hoods, but plan hoods, they were Slytherin hoods. They were. And it's like, they didn't even realize it because it was like,
Starting point is 00:30:57 they just right before they went out there is like, oh, let's put her hoods up. It was like 20. That was like, oh, my God. So when we're waiting to come under our entrance, we're like in the hallway, we put the hoods up and we turn and we see, we see Austin Creed and and Fred in here. Just go, I don't know about this anymore. Yeah, yeah, this took another turn like boas and metals and jewelry.
Starting point is 00:31:23 And I bought a wonder bread to hand out to the starving when I first when I first met Willie that day, I was like, hey, so we need to work on our interest thing. He goes, no, I have our cool. I have the cool like a lit glasses that like glow green. OK, cool. And I was just like, OK, Willie's put more thought into it than me and Liam or are put in.
Starting point is 00:31:45 So I'm like, I need to go eat. So I went to go eat. And by the time I get back, I see them holding hoods and bags of bread. And I'm like, OK, you need to get me up here on a whirlwind adventure around basically all of downtown tracking stuff down. And we went and like we got to the point where some of the props were blocked for safety reasons. They're smarter than we were not allowed to use certain props.
Starting point is 00:32:12 So I'm like, good, good. That means our techniques are banned indoors. You know, we brought enough selection so that you ban the obvious stuff. And then what comes in just underneath is good to go. And that and you guys is Ric Flair level of pomp and circumstance made us realize that we needed to do something. So we ran somebody down and grabbed some creepy anime girl mask. Yeah. Yeah. That's a thing.
Starting point is 00:32:36 And became your team was Kauai muscle representing Planet Keniku and the WWE Universe. So this is sad in that all the other teams had lots of props and lots of gimmicks. And with just one mass, yes, Brennan and Xavier Woods come down and have the crowd eating out of the pool. Because here's what happens is during the rehearsal, we all grab the mics and like after the big prop entrance, we get up there and we grab the mics and go, oh, we have to talk now.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I think about this part. And then we do a little thing. And then they grab the mics and go, I don't know what I'm going to say right now. But we'll figure it out because we do this for a living. Yada, yada, yada. I was like, man, we really need to kill up because we're going to look like jerks if we don't. And so they come out to, God damn, just communication. You know, no, no, no, it was Rhythm Emotion.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Rhythm Emotion, excuse me, right? You're your Gundam Wink theme song and everyone's clapping right away. Because two mix. Why wouldn't you be clapping to two mix, you know? And after getting like after getting that going and like eating it up on stage, you guys grab the mics and spit hot fire onto everybody. Literally our jobs. So you're like the new team this year and like the crowd was just like, like.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Also the only baby faces, so it makes sense. Everybody else is like, oh, Hamilton sucks, America's better. I did not understand why we didn't get over. All we came up and said was that we represent the people of Hamilton, hot-blooded youth in fiery muscles. Yeah, yeah. So, well, there's a brief story about the run through that I don't think you heard. Is that when we went up the stage, right?
Starting point is 00:34:28 I'm trying to slap because, you know, we don't have the stage and like I see, I'm the first one to go in the line saying me, you and then. So I tried to leap the stage and I get on there and on the way, like my knee just bashes into the side. And I'm like, oh, yeah. And I'm like, I got on the stage fine and like one or two people were like, yeah, you look like you have a bit of trouble there. And I'm like, oh my God, no one saw.
Starting point is 00:34:54 So when we're done our part of the entrance rehearsal, I go down to the Con Bravo people and I'm like, yeah, Brennan like hurt his knee earlier and he might need a step now. You know, like the other guys are talking, they might need a step. I just felt like I should tell you that you should really get a step because I'm like, when I go up there, I'm going to try a second time. I'm going to either overcompensate, undercompensate. I'm going to start shedding my pants right there.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Like something bad is going to happen. I need to take care of this because usually as like, you know, as close as I can be to a man, I go, I'll be able to handle it next time. I'll be able to know I'm not taking any chances. I'm wearing all this bullshit. Brennan's crying around. I got it together.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Brennan's flying. I lost control. They're like, oh my God, really? Brennan's hurt his knee. I'm like, yeah, no, they didn't. Don't go and ask him about it. He's going to be really noble and he's going to deny it. But maybe, maybe even Xavier too might have hurt himself.
Starting point is 00:35:51 I'm not sure. But I know, I mean, we really need a step. And the comber of a girl, always forget her name. The girl with the like little fiery red hair. She goes and gets the step. I see the step as I come out. I'm like, oh, thank God, I saw this problem. And we decided that it was okay because if you would have,
Starting point is 00:36:09 if you would have shot down, it would have been a worse thing. If it would have been like, oh no, Zito, if Zito couldn't get off the stage, you know. If it, if it, like, because I'm using guys that are much higher Okay, so it's fine. But if I said someone like innocuous, like Zito, or like Corrine or something, I'd be like, oh, I'm not going to do that. Yeah, yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:36:31 I thought that was great. Steps for them, of course. Yeah, yeah, for all little, little people. First timers, right? Yeah, exactly. All right, yeah. And, and no, and the other thing too with the Super Feud was, we sit down there and it's just kind of like, all right,
Starting point is 00:36:44 let's go Mario Party's playing. Mario Party 2. Yep. And the mics are on the stage. And we're like, oh yeah, last time there was no announcer or anyone controlling it. We just did, took the mics and did it and completely forgot that we had to just figure it out, you know. But also like there, we couldn't see the screens.
Starting point is 00:37:04 That unfortunately was not a technical issue. I forget what it was last year, but we were able to see fine. I forget if we were looking at a monitor or a laptop, or I forget what it was, but we didn't have this issue last year. So well, yeah, well, what we ended up just doing eventually was like, you know, whoever was rotating would go down to the front and then they could see the screen and properly interact with each other. And we got the whole thing going.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Which worked out. It worked out a lot better. Yeah, because we're standing in front of the crowd. They're seeing us. And then again, we're playing off of each other in that sense. I heard of other problems that people on that side of the stage could not see that screen because all of us were blocking it. Oh.
Starting point is 00:37:35 So they had to look at the other screen, but then like, there was a lot going on. So it's one of those things you got to keep tinkering with to find out. To find the perfect, yeah. Yeah, because the stage, like I said, was amazing. Yeah. Just that one little thing, if we could have had something in the back or like a projector in the back or something just so that we could have seen it.
Starting point is 00:37:51 So like for next time, right? Yeah, next time. But performance-wise, I think we, it pulled some fun shit out of our asses and it was a good time. You know, the back and forth was strong. It got really brutal and personal at times. Oh, those attacks came in at a large. Some white pouts. Some huge white pouts, man.
Starting point is 00:38:10 I'm sitting halfway back in the crowd going, pfft. Yeah, yeah. I think Takahata said something like, oh man, you better win at this because you want to impress your wife because I'm taking her away. No, it was, no, if you win, you might impress your wife for once. Yeah. For once, yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Yeah, yeah. And I was like, whoa, whoa Takahata, that's really good content. It's amazing what you can do when you write your own content. So he just dumped me over on the window. And Takahata was like, no. And then later, he throws me, he's like, oh man, that was so hilarious. He was like, we're so cool right now. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Yeah, like there's a moment there where I was just like, hey, yo, save your, see me in Tekken. You know, and he's like. Which we did. Yeah, yeah, that can not happen later. And he's like, see me in Tekken. And he's like, so did you make it out of pools and evil again? And I was like, oh, and I was like, I'll have you know that I got top 16 at Dragon Ball. And he's like, whoa, that's so cute because I got top eight.
Starting point is 00:39:10 And everyone just. Oh, and it was like, and like, and back at evil, like the first thing I saw when I ran into him was like, he's like, dude, I got top eight at Dragon Ball. And I was like, yeah. So like you looked at me and you just like, he's like, great setup, great setup. I got you. I got you. You know, so it was, it was tons of fun like that.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Go check the Twitch archive stream on. Oh, it was so much fun. Twitch TV. And it was very, very like, yeah, the Mario Party itself. It was very like, it had its ups and downs and then it came down to a photo finish. It was amazing. It's the perfect like game for this like non-test of skill. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:44 It's got about just be random. Because last time we played Mario Party one, I think. Yeah, we did. So we were playing two is I don't know like if it's going to go, you know, if we keep doing this, it's going to go sequentially. But like, I, I thought that like Mario Party nine or we replayed that one was way more bullshit, way more just take stars. Things coming in going.
Starting point is 00:40:03 I would rather skip to those bullshit. Value making way more salt. I felt this Mario Party two was too completely slightly too honest to balance. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. But no, it was a really great way to kick off the Friday was and yeah, we went back and play some Tekken.
Starting point is 00:40:23 He's got a Xavier's got a king. It's pretty cool. You know, and yeah, we just, we did some rounds and what happened? Well, he took, I think he took most of the games. Okay. Um, we went back and forth, but I, yeah, I think his king to like came out there and then Brennan, you kind of shanksung the bit you make. You went around the roster.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Mostly Lily was your main. Yeah. Lily's my main and then Catherine. Yeah. A little bit. And I was, I was happy with my performance. I was like, I don't get to step out into the real world often. So yes, I was happy about it.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Now, man, like Tekken is so good. So it's just, and it's like, of all the fighting games to pick the pop-on in a room full of people that you're going to play, all those slow down moments, dude. Just even for people that's like, that don't understand. It's like, oh yeah, it's perfect. Every once in a while, it's just gonna be, I barely play the game and I just love watching it. Dude was like, yeah, because everyone goes, oh, great slowdowns. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Yeah. Like what, what are the, what are the most solid ones that like I had with that? Like in the game was with Steve like that night with a really good like low sweep over, like a high attack. And it's just tense because you're like, oh my God, is he gonna hit first? One of the best things to happen to fighting games in the last 10 years. Easily, easily. Every game needs it.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Yeah. And every podcast needs to take a word from its sponsors because it's about that time. Oh my God, Matt, get back over here. We got a rich sponsors. Oh God. Okay. All right. I'll start without you and then you come back in.

Starting point is 00:44:11 Not really. It's a lot of work. I've read the way on for a day. At least in America, I don't think you're allowed to have like rulership over another country and be a citizen. I don't know if it's like that. It's like some weird thing. I don't think it is.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I think we're allowed to do whatever. Citizens of Matt Viria. What a terrible. It's to snuff out the next Dr. Doom. The first hard decision, I just run off. He's gone, folks. He's gone. Thanks, lootcrate.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Thank you so much. Matt, what did you do before and at the con? Leading out to the con. I'm not sure if you read it yet, but I read the new trade paper patterns. It's at least a few months old. A Venom being back after being a space knight or whatever with the Guardians of the Galaxy. The symbiots back on Earth. It's looking for a new host.
Starting point is 00:45:03 I read it on the plane. I loved it. Because I used to be a big Venom fanboy back in the day and I lost track. Like us, we always do. What happened to our character? It's Scorpion now. Eddie Brock got cancer and died. I don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Yeah, I mean, it was Flash Thompson for a while. Yeah, and he was with the Guardians. So I read that and I really enjoyed it. The symbiote found a new host. Just this merc guy. He used to be in the army and he's kind of an asshole. And the symbiote loves saving lives now. He's like, oh my God, protect the people fucking rules.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Oh, yeah. It feels so good. I've gone so long eating people that I never thought what it would be like to protect them. Because being with Flash Thompson, it would like taught it to be like, it's so fulfilling. You guys have no idea. It's great. So it's just wandering around.
Starting point is 00:45:55 It just protects this guy and he's in the middle of like a drug deal gone bad or whatever. And the symbiote thought he was in trouble and then it attaches to the guy. And this guy has at least fucked up memories and he's damaged. And so if it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, I want out of this. Shit, this guy's fucking bad news. And this guy's like, this is awesome. And he pulls the symbiote back and this guy's the bad guy. And this symbiote wants to do whatever it can to thwart his plots.
Starting point is 00:46:22 It's really interesting. And then Eddie Brock is back or whatever it is. I don't know. Eddie Brock is in it and then Spider-Man gets involved. It's really, really fun read. I'd like it to you if you have time. Yeah. Please read it because I really enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:46:34 And I was asking about the switch before and what John is you want, because I went back to playing Fast Racing Remix, which is basically F-Zero. With a really good soundtrack. But not F-Zero, of course. It's not F-Zero. If it just said F-Zero on the title screen and left everything else, you would be like, yeah, that's F-Zero. All of the ships are a lot more like wipe out.
Starting point is 00:46:57 They're not as spacecrafty. They're more like streamlined machines. So I went back to playing that on the plane. And I really enjoyed it. I was like, I got to get back into this. There's lots more cups, a lot of single player content in that. So I went back in and played that a bunch. In terms of the con itself, I really wanted to sports star in her booth.
Starting point is 00:47:15 I bought like a million stickers, a bunch of the prints of me and Liam from the Senran Kagura, Beachy, Beachy, Beachy, Splashy, Splashy, whatever game or booby anime girls. I bought a bunch of her stuff. I also partook in Star's event that her and Liam kind of- What a great idea. That was a lot of fun. That was a great idea.
Starting point is 00:47:40 So for people that want to know this, Liam Star, maybe Liam another artist in the future, want to bring this back. And basically what it is- I told them you could take the show on the road. Yes, absolutely. And so what it is is that Star would be drawing on a tablet or whatever. And they'll have a screen on the back wall so people can watch. And Liam will be ripping pieces of paper that show a particular subject.
Starting point is 00:48:05 And most of them are either things that Star would love or things that troll Star's super heart into the ground. So the first one was Star Exorcist the Hedgehog. So she would draw Star Exorcist the Hedgehog. Now if she makes a mistake or controls Z's, or does anything like that to fix anything, she has to take a shot. Of water. Water.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Yes. And whenever she finishes, she has to also replenish her- Because if you drink too much water, then you have to go to the bathroom. Yeah, you can't have that. So he would rip the next one after a little bit and then the crowd would get a small countdown and then she'd have to sign it to complete it and go to the next one. So the problem with this is that Star is a boisterous young girl.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Especially when she's over hydrated. And she's over hydrated with water. She gets even more boisterous. So sometimes there is more talking and shilling than drawing. So if you got through most of them, my favorite one, Willie, I think that you came in just after it was Rob Liefeld's Splatoon 2. Which was the best one. I actually think her best drawing was just Marina.
Starting point is 00:49:17 If drawn by Rob Liefeld, I loved it. I kind of want to print of it now. So that was really, really fun. Me and Liam bought Arcadia. We bought their channel. You guys might not see this anymore because someone blocked those videos announcing it. And they were the best videos that ever were on Arcadia. We bought their channel.
Starting point is 00:49:40 We started making videos for them, me and Liam. But real talk. Austin made the mistake of signing in on Matt's computer. And of course. Can I use your computer to sign it to my shit? I said, sure Austin, why not? Liam, prankster, I'm going to whip gum at people at full speed because that's the way I fucking roll and Matt.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Liam goes, hey. Let's key login. I go into login to our YouTube. And I see all the fucking, it says login to Arcadia, Bocano, Eruption. And maybe two other side channels or whatever. And I'm like, oh, what the hell? Oh, god. Yeah, he logged into my shit.
Starting point is 00:50:15 And I'm like, how do I get? And I go, what the fuck? How do I get back to my thing? I have to log in. And Liam's like, what's wrong? I'm like, awesome. That's all the shit logged into my thing. And so he goes, you don't have access to full Arcadia, do you?
Starting point is 00:50:27 And I'm like, what? Yeah, I do actually. And he's like, dude, we should take it over and start recording right now. I'm like, what do you think? And he's like, no, no, let's just make a funny announcement. I go, sure, sure. And we look and we see awesome side channel like Bocano Eruption's bullshit. It has like 3,000 subs or whatever.
Starting point is 00:50:44 And we're like, yeah, yeah, that's funny. Let's do that. So we recorded, we had, we took the Slytherin cloaks, put them on ourselves and said, yeah, we're taking over new management. You're going to see fresh new content that you won't be embarrassed by blah, blah, blah, blah. So please enjoy our flavor of entertainment. We will put all of Austin's videos now on private so no one can see them anymore. And then we recorded a video of me reviewing pork buns that were bad that we bought.
Starting point is 00:51:14 It didn't look good. Let's say how much what. Which really feel about those pork buns. Which Liam had time to make a thumbnail for. That's when the prank is. Don't worry. If you saw close up, you'd realize it's quite shitty. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:30 So it's all cut out really poorly. Sure. So we put these and I upload them and we're like, okay, let's just put it on Bocano Eruption's side channel because you put on Katie, they have close to 100,000 subs. So we're like, yeah, let's, let's not put it there because that's, you know, that might cause a little bit of disruption. And then we upload them and I'm like, oh, it's the same channel. Anything he uploads to that one goes to the main one.
Starting point is 00:51:53 No, no, not at all. I just, the last channel I clicked was to make sure if we had access to Arcadia and we're still stuck on that. So it uploaded to Arcadia and I was like, whoops. And Liam's like, ah, that's fine. Don't worry about that. What's the worst that could happen? So all the comments were basically like the best content Arcadia has ever put.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Like that. And we're like, oh, cool. Okay. You know, that's funny. That's funny. He'll, he'll find out about it in like an hour or something. 15 minutes later, Austin calls Liam's phone and they go, oh, okay. He's calling him to be like, what the fuck or whatever.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Ha, ha, ha. Good job. You're the best. So then he, Liam goes, hello. Yeah. Oh, hey, Austin. Hey, my panel's canceled with star and Liam goes, he's just trying to counter break me. Isn't that adorable?
Starting point is 00:52:49 He's so funny. And I'm like, oh yeah, of course he is. And he's like, okay, what? No, we're star. Okay. Yeah. What? The staffer said it was all canceling.
Starting point is 00:52:58 He's like, oh, this is so good. They, they, I know that they're counter pranking me. This would be so embarrassing for them. And then he's like, okay, star, star, are you near Austin? Star, is this a prank? Cause we, cause we took over his YouTube and I can hear on the other end going, no, what are you talking about? And he's like, okay, I'm not sure if they're counter pranking us.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Um, okay. You lost confidence. Yeah. So we put down the phone. He's like, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to go to the, to the, uh, the comparable offices and I'm like, don't, don't go because you're going to go and they're going to throw water or bugs on you or something. They're going to be like, ah, pranked.
Starting point is 00:53:35 And he's like, no, but star seemed legit. I don't know. And it actually turned out it wasn't a prank. They, a staffer apparently told of a few fans or something. Yeah, I'm not sure about that event. I think that's canceled. Okay. It's happened at con sometimes.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Yeah. It happened to us for fuck's sake. Yeah. A little bit, a little confusion. So the, the, the, the convict, the, the panel would find the star exorcist drawing things, uh, due to water panel and that was fine. It went off and we finally meet Austin. Austin's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Okay. So what the fuck? Why did you guys do that to my channel? We're like, well, you're a counter pranking us. And he's like, no, I wasn't counter breaking you with what that this panel was canceling. He's like, no, that was legit. We were really concerned and like, oh, okay. But he's like, but I was not that much concerned when my mom texts me and says,
Starting point is 00:54:26 some boys are taking me to your channel. Who are these boys? These are these, these dastardly boys. They're not you. And Austin was like, I was really angry for about eight seconds. And I'm like, no, it's good. It's good. After that, after a while.
Starting point is 00:54:42 And then afterwards he's like, let's, let's go, let's look at our social play. I mentioned that's really nice that his mom subscribed, is subscribed to this channel. It is and keeps up on the channel. I was going to say, is like, are you guys' mom subscribed and keeping up? Dear God, I hope not. Oh boy, some not fun things. My older sister, she doesn't get anything that we say, but she'll look at it. She keeps up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:55:05 I don't want my parents to say it. Yeah. Woolly, I saw that you were on a stream in a hood of some kind. I'm not sure. She's more concerned that their Harry Potter robes. Oh yeah. So awesome website with social blame. Oh, congrats to his analytics and takes a look.
Starting point is 00:55:26 This he's like, okay, let's see the damage show. Minus 16 subs. And all the time they're like, oh, it's not like anyone's actually going to see that. And unsubscribe. No, 16 people went, fuck these guys. To be honest, it's probably better. They doesn't have. In the description of this is a joke.
Starting point is 00:55:46 We love you, Austin. You left your shit like unlocked on my PC or whatever. And also like within like an hour, he delisted the video. I also started a mini campaign with a single tweet just saying, Hey, he lost 16 subs. Let's make it back. So let's see if he got those numbers back. Yeah, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:56:05 But yeah, that that that was me fun. One one thumbnail with Matt and some hot dogs and people are like, I'm out of here, man. There's some people off of this train. No, there's some people that like, I'm all about this thumbnail. You get a guy shoving meat into his mouth. I love that. So really funny prank.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Yeah. Yeah. Solid bit solid bit. Um, also notable, I guess was, uh, the like in the in the dealers room, walking around, there's a couple of cool things. One, the fight night guys had a booth. Where was it? It was next to Temmie Chang's booth.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Who was also down there. She is aggressively friendly. Aggressively cute and shy and friendly. That's like, not a real person. She's like cartoon character. Yeah. Like she's super like, like, oh my God. Oh, hi.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Oh, I'm so sorry. And then like moves in and hangs you things. Yeah. And I was like, I didn't even, I didn't even ask for this. Like you're, you're giving me a hug. It's, it's, it's like, the hug is coming. Can I have a hug? Can I, can I, I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Yeah, sure. Temmie Chang. Yesterday I stopped by her booth and I was, I just wanted to say hi because we follow each other on Twitter or whatever. And I went, I went to go say hi. And I, and she was talking with two people. But there are people at her booth, right? And she was eating something.
Starting point is 00:57:18 And I thought it was poutine at first. And I was like, oh, cool. You're having poutine. And she was like, what? No, I am not. This is just food. And I was like, oh, I'm sorry. And then I just ran off.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Like I was embarrassed. And like, oh no. And then other people told, do you know that that was Matt? And she goes, what? No, I didn't. Oh my God. I was such an asshole to him. And I was like, no, no, you weren't.
Starting point is 00:57:39 So she tells me on Twitter, I was like, I'm going to come by your booth. And like, and then she's like, I got to give you stuff. Everyone feels bad. And while she was there, she's like, and I saw you, Willie, in the elevator. But I wasn't sure if it was you. So I just pretended not to know you.
Starting point is 00:57:51 And I'm sorry. I'm such an asshole. You're a cute drama talker. Like, no. I was attacked at Conron by Timmy Chang. This could happen to you. It's more likely than you think. Oh God, no.
Starting point is 00:58:05 But yeah, she was there. It's a fight night. She was right next to the fight night. The booth where they had the new build. They had the big sign. The two guys were there, Zeke and a friend. And they had the cool helmet that my cosplayer friend Sammy made, which is like the big fight night characters helmet.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Yeah, I saw it too. So like, it's super dope then down there. And yeah, it's too late now, but so be it. And also fun was in the back, there was just a booth of a guy with a computer. And he was like, if you're like of Irish, Scottish, or English descent, you can give me your name. And of course you are.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I, you know, and I will like give you your family's history. Let's find out who picked up my ancestors off the boat. Yeah, exactly. So I basically explained to him like, hey, my name is Madden. And that's the name that goes back to us. I would have loved if you would have just been like, if you would have walked up and not said anything. And like, this isn't for you, but.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Oh, God, dude, I wish. It's like, hey, are you OK? Are you sure you're not lost? OK, no. And I came up to him like, hey, so, you know, yeah, my family, we've tried to do this before. We have a little family tree. And on one side, we go up and it stops at the Scotsman,
Starting point is 00:59:28 you know, Madden. And on the other side, it stops at the boat. So what do you got? What do you got for me? What do you got? And he puts in Madden, and he prints out on the spot this really cool, like, plaque, full-on plaque thing. Like, almost, yeah, it's tucked away somewhere over there.
Starting point is 00:59:44 But it's like the full history of the name, all notable Maddens, from like going back to like 12th century. You know? And I was like, well, this says it's, he's saying that this is a lot of like Irish history here and stuff. I'm like, how legit is this, right? And he pulls out like this sheet of paper.
Starting point is 00:59:59 He's like, these are all the sources we use. It's a giant list of sources where they're like, no, no, if it sounds like it's not one thing that you heard where I'm like, I know it's Scottish. How did it become Irish or whatever? They explained that like, because way back when it didn't even matter, you know, the borders, people were crossing back and forth.
Starting point is 01:00:16 And like, they were all just kind of together. And like, they would, people would switch and like, join together to fight, you know, like together, like many times. So like, there are many Irish names that went over to Scotland and vice versa. And yeah, and just printed it out and then showed me the tartan for our clan, right, which is the kanach.
Starting point is 01:00:37 I think they've pronounced it, but it's the thing, the pattern you'd use for your kilt, right? Of the Madden clan. And I'm like, okay, what do we got? What you got for me? And he shows me, he's like, okay, so this is the old styled one. And I look and it's fucking, it's a yellow and green
Starting point is 01:00:53 checkered pattern. And I'm like, that's pretty on point. And he's like, yeah, that's the older one. They eventually updated it with this one. And I'm like, it's a purple design. So I'm like, the colors of green and purple are in my blood. So time to woolly in kilt way.
Starting point is 01:01:10 Well, I asked him, he's like, you can get a kilt made if you go to certain places and certain festivals and whatnot. And I was like, how about like a hat or something like that? And he's like, I don't know about that maybe, but for the common most popular family names, they do have those patterns. So I could just buy the fabric and do something with it. So that's cool.
Starting point is 01:01:30 And I have a family crest now. And I know a little bit more than nothing about the name and where it comes from somewhat. So that was a fun, unexpected discovery at Con Bravo. Yeah, I forgot who I was talking to. Someone was like, hey, did you find anything cool in the dealer's room? I think it was you.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Yeah, I was like, you mean besides my family history? Besides my meaning? Yeah. Surprised. I was expecting that answer. Most people find art and figurines, but I found truth. Answer is exactly. So like a proper plaque about where Madden Town came from.
Starting point is 01:02:06 OK, exactly. The genesis of Madden Town. Not bad. Thank you, Con Bravo. OK, so I guess with that, let's get into some of the current happenings that we missed this week. What's happened? The news.
Starting point is 01:02:22 OK, so besides WonderCon going on, showing off a whole bunch of really awesome toys, including a perfect Persona 5 Makoto. And like various other really, really cool things. And I'm sure you're going to catch on your feed this week, Matt, because WonderCon over in Wonderfest, excuse me, in Japan, is where they show you screenshots of figures and toys that are incredibly too detailed for life.
Starting point is 01:02:47 And then they go, yeah, this is a garage kit. There's only 200 of them. You're never going to see it. Like, it's awesome that garage kits exist. I hate that they exist. Yeah, so that's going on now. So that's always nice. But one Persona 5 animation announced.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Yeah, I saw that. I didn't see that, but I knew it was going to be said. So I mean, I heard there was going to be a Persona 5-related announcement at the music festival, and I was like, oh, they're going to make an anime. Yeah, it'd be weird if they didn't at this point. And yeah, they dropped a little teaser
Starting point is 01:03:22 and all the voice actors of the same. It's not like they didn't. They did it before, too. So they had a little OVA-type thing. And yeah, it's going to be on the air in 2018. So it's coming, like. And the first one will be better than the Persona 5 Crimson. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:03:43 Persona 5. Because boy, the golden anime was not good in comparison to just the regular Persona 4 anime. Persona 5 the Platinum. Yeah, Persona 5 Platinum. So that's cool. I saw the little opening teaser animation for it. I looked pretty sick.
Starting point is 01:04:00 I just can't wait for the OP. Well, yeah, sure. I'm waiting to see what the main character ends up being like in terms of Akira, right? That's the kind of name. Yeah, Akira, yeah. And so I'm wondering what they're going to do with his dialogue choices.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Because I love that the Persona 4 protagonist was always like the third answer. Weirdo, completely weirdo. He's so cool. I really feel like they could do the exact same. I think with this one, because it's like, oh, he's so cool, but he's a loser. But then that means you're also hitting on your teacher
Starting point is 01:04:34 during some of those S-Links and stuff. I hope so. It would be the funniest. I hope the canon. I am not ashamed to say that I picked Futaba, but I hope the canon is Kawakami. That would be the best. That's fine.
Starting point is 01:04:46 And super illegal. But yes. I just want a scene with Big Bang Burger and just an entire episode revolving around. His speed lines. And everyone in the background impressed at how you handle the meat. They come to that guy on Twitter that tagged
Starting point is 01:05:05 Brennan and Xavier in a photo and said, I hung around with Xavier Woods and Brennan Williams, and they sung the Junes song. And I'm crying. And he's wearing Sly Rex's Junes shirt. I have that exact same shirt. And I had no idea that Star had made it until after. I think I was seeing on something.
Starting point is 01:05:25 He did that when she was nine. That was one of the first ones. Yeah. I was seeing on something on WWE YouTube. And they're like, is that a Junes shirt? And Star was like, yeah, I made that. I was like, what? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:37 How dare you? It's not a Junes. It's the Junes shirt. It's the Junes shirt, yeah. That's pretty cool. Also announced over this weekend was details on the Overwatch League. The League?
Starting point is 01:05:52 Overwatch League, which they introduced a while ago, and we kind of like haven't heard much about it until now, pretty cool actually. So it's basically the whole like the paid e-sports like League that they're setting up with competitive teams and all that stuff. I have no interest in personally, but it's still cool. Well, because they're going further with it
Starting point is 01:06:13 than any other game has by setting up this thing where they're going like, okay, everyone who plays the game has a shot at impressing somebody and getting an offer from a team, first of all. That's neat. And it has nothing. And like even if you're already sponsored in like teams that have been associated with it
Starting point is 01:06:29 and whatnot with Overwatch competitive, it doesn't matter. Everyone has a shot. If you perform well enough and people scout and like you, you can get in. Okay, so I'm not super familiar with other e-sports structures. How is it that the teams usually come to be otherwise? It's more independent, right?
Starting point is 01:06:46 It's in the same way that players get picked up for Counter-Strike or fighting games and whatnot. It's more of a like you place independently and people recognize your rankings and your name for whatnot. And then they go, hey, you are super good. You show up consistently to these events and whatnot. So there's a bit of a barrier of entry if you're not going to tournaments.
Starting point is 01:07:11 If you're not, yeah, if you're not, exactly. And if you're not, yeah, you want to be, and even online stuff, of course, well, mostly online stuff, you want to be entering as much as possible and making yourself a presence. You want to be out there. It's pretty much like a combination of knowing people and performing well and being like a face
Starting point is 01:07:28 that's out there and entering as everything you can. You're not bowing your way in and whatnot. And then you go like, all right, there, Ben. And then of course, if you're just like amongst the top ranked players in the world in the Grandmaster category, then you are automatically getting offers. But so this is opening up that door to a lot of people because they're going to have these organized teams
Starting point is 01:07:47 that are scouting people out. Secondly, everyone is going to get paid minimum $50,000 a year, right? So if you are on, if you're in the league, that's what you're getting, minimum, right? And in addition to that, the associated teams also have to provide housing and housing health insurance and a retirement savings plan
Starting point is 01:08:13 while you're playing. Yeah, that's actually great. Each contract is its annual, right? So as you perform, they resign you for each year, but that's the level of coverage that they're going in, which is like, again, unheard of for eSports organization. I love this because it just makes everything, it's making it more valid for,
Starting point is 01:08:34 especially people who aren't familiar with this kind of stuff. It makes it seem like, oh no, this is like a real structured thing, the average person on the street would be like, oh yeah, okay, yeah. In many cases, even the official rankings and whatnot will be happening sort of parallel to the game and you kind of have to be paying attention or like entering these side events
Starting point is 01:08:53 and going to these things separately from your basic game online, playing it online. But in this case, playing the game as you do and performing well. Which really makes sense if... Gets you into the spot that these people are hiring people from. It makes sense in the long run and like,
Starting point is 01:09:09 yeah, I think that's super cool. Especially useful for people who can't travel to tournaments all that much and stuff like that. And they're kind of, yeah, that's great. Exactly. And like, in overall, the full package includes smaller details and things where any bonuses the team make,
Starting point is 01:09:22 like 50% minimum have to be going to the players, things like that. So it's basically just trying to take care of everybody from step one and make sure that this is happening in a way that all players are gonna be happy with. And no one's getting fucked over if they're making a decision to be professional players of Overwatch.
Starting point is 01:09:43 So, good on Blizzard for that, that's dope. And I think that should... That should be the model going forward. It should be the model going forward. And I don't know if every company has the ability to invest in this type of structure, but if they have any, if the game is large enough, there's no reason why.
Starting point is 01:10:00 If they ever do anything like a StarCraft thing or any other major shooters that come out, they absolutely should follow this model. Hell, I think Rocket League is big enough now. They can set it all up if they want it to. Yeah, Rocket League is very big, yeah. That'd be really cool. So that's what's going on with Overwatch.
Starting point is 01:10:18 Doomfist is out officially, I think, on everything now. Doomfist is out. There's a couple other changes and patches. Yeah, like I heard about Zarya getting a buff where you can't dash out of her ult anymore. So anyone who had the ability to diva fly or Reinhardt tackle out or Genji, they get stuck in and you're on the Graviton
Starting point is 01:10:37 and you're not getting out. That's fine. So that's legit. They all like has enough weaknesses in itself that they can shoot you, so I think not being able to dash out of it as well. Yeah, also apparently the recent patch made it so that duplicates and loot boxes are now way less.
Starting point is 01:10:53 It's a lesser percentage, way more than way less. I saw something that said Reinhardt can't break traps anymore when he's charging or something like that. Really? Like it got worse, yeah. Wow, sorry. Careful.
Starting point is 01:11:05 Oh, God. Ba-ba-bang. Ba-ba-bang. I don't know if that was a glitch or what, but that kind of sucks. Yeah, I don't like that. Yeah, you like Reinhardt. I do.
Starting point is 01:11:17 But yeah, there's some good news coming out from the Overwatch side. There was, so last week we talked about Pokemon Go Fest and I don't know if you guys heard about how that went down. I heard that it was a mess. You have follow ups, there's follow ups. There is follow ups. Give me the follow up.
Starting point is 01:11:34 So after the shit show that was the Pokemon Go Festival, there is now a class action lawsuit against Niantic being put together. Right, I just saw the story just as we left for Comrade. For why? Because players that flew out are basically saying I spent money flying here for an event that didn't do what it said it would do
Starting point is 01:11:55 when I wasted my money. Yeah, they should win that. Including players from Japan. Oh, wow. So I was reading it going like, yeah, hold on, why? And then it's like, hmm, okay. I swear there's going to be a documentary someday about Niantic and it's not being ready
Starting point is 01:12:16 for the power that it was given. For what happened? Yeah. Like it just wasn't prepared. The company wasn't ready. And considering Pokemon Go left the public mind space or whatever and came back in with this, it's not great, man.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Well, what it's done, because I hear people are like, yeah, I hear people like always saying like, hey man, you should look back into Pokemon Go. It's because I fell off because I got tired of the problems that I didn't like about it in the first place. And from what, when this is the next thing I hear, it's like, yeah, no. My girlfriend still keeps up with it.
Starting point is 01:12:54 She's kind of like, yeah, this stuff is cool stuff. And it's like, and yeah, but this was like the big thing. It just seems like, I mean, like it took way too long for them to add other generations. Like if they, yeah, if they would have like struck when the iron was hot, as soon as it started cooling down, bam. We thought legendary events were gonna come like way sooner.
Starting point is 01:13:14 Yeah, right away. Like a month or nothing. And then like a year, I think. Yeah. Went by before we even got announcements about what they were gonna do with it. It was just so poorly handled. Like, man, like how can you lose the,
Starting point is 01:13:25 it was the hottest thing. So I'm like, what in the world? Yeah. Well, one of the, like when, when, James, when you first came to Montreal, like one of the cool things we did was like, Oh, right, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:37 Had down to the spot, you know? And like, Remember the guy getting pulled away in the ambulance? Yeah. Oh my God. It was just either drunk or heat stroke or something. It was, it was intense. Oh, come on.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Well, cause yeah, because there was, there was a, it was five or six spots on the corner, right? And then a gym right there. And it was like, it was the big Montreal like meetup spot. And they eventually, like in one of the updates, like just got rid of like half of those and it just became a normal. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:14:04 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that spot died not too long after, because there was like, it was like three. And it's like, oh, that's, you can find that in other places. So they're basically like, they got rid of any spots. And I think it happened in a lot of other cities too, where there were too many in one spot, like they kind of just killed it and made it so that it's like
Starting point is 01:14:21 maximum, maybe two or three in an area. And so that sort of social aspect faded away. I know they added a Pokestops to the gyms. Like they became Pokestops and they added raids. So like an MMO style raid where you can team up with other teams and basically take out like super Pokemon and get access. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 01:14:36 And it became something where I was like, oh yeah, that seems interesting. I bet you everybody's Pokemon are like level 5,000 at this point. Yeah, and just like with an MMO, it's high level. You have to be like level 27 or 28 before you can do that. And that's, that's a lot of grinding to get to that point. The last, well, the last thing,
Starting point is 01:14:53 the new story we talked about I think was when they announced they were going to allow anyone that's like beast level. Like there was a system in place to make it so that you couldn't just sit on a gym, you know, and like with an unstoppable Pokemon the whole time. Like there was like a time system or something like that. I think the longer they stay in the gym, the weaker they get every day.
Starting point is 01:15:13 So that you could eventually come in and knock them out with something, you know, that's not as beast. Yeah, no, it's a weird one. And in a lot of cases I'd be like, come on, you know, this is a bit of a frivolous lawsuit kind of thing. But in this case, yeah, people flying over from Japan to go to this event. I didn't know it was hard enough to get somebody to fly
Starting point is 01:15:31 across the planet to go to an event, but I guess. It's like, it's just not those like fucking benchmark moments of humanity levels anymore. Or like literally everyone in every country that the game was available in was playing. But it's still like a dedicated group of like probably like tens of millions. Whereas like before it was like,
Starting point is 01:15:52 I don't know what else. Because the people flying out, that's your player. That's your fan base, right? And then if it does, and if it kind of blows up in their face and now you're, now who you got left, right? The most hardcore people that you have left playing this game are now bummed out because of this. So that's not good.
Starting point is 01:16:09 And yeah, they specify too that they're not seeking anything in relation to like the legendaries or any of those promises because like Niantic did say they're giving those out free, plus the hundred dollars in coins and stuff. But if you sue for Pokemon specifically, could they say, hey, we're going to sue you for a loophole? I want to see that judge preside over
Starting point is 01:16:30 that fucking court case so bad. It's just like what am I, what life choices did I make to lead that I have to be here? This got me thinking too about like just this type of premise in general, like has any audience ever sued? Like Axl Rose or Kanye West for showing up and not performing? I think, I think there was one festival
Starting point is 01:16:56 that went completely wrong. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Firefest, firefest, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There were lawsuits. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. But even then, I remember like at least once or twice, maybe in the last couple of years, I remember seeing like people like maybe a Kanye concert,
Starting point is 01:17:12 like he just came out and just said, fuck this and just left for some reason. And like some people were angry. There's always another similar situation. One of my favorite rappers, MF Doom, is notorious for sending out, cause he wears a mask. So he's notorious for sending out dumb, clones. Yeah, which is like, it's like a weird like meta thing
Starting point is 01:17:34 where it's almost, yeah, it's almost okay because he's supposed to be this villain sending out Doombots, but people would get mad and they just wreck the place. But I never heard of any gun to lawsuit or anything coming out of that. Cause I wonder if somebody, you know, is shows up and they're like, yeah, I flew from, you know,
Starting point is 01:17:51 Europe to get here to watch a show. And then you showed up late and then you started one song and then said, fuck this and left. You know, it's like, you buy these tickets, there's no real promise in it, but has anyone ever tried to push that? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:05 I'm sure. But then where do you stop? Cause then you could sue somebody for having a bad show. Exactly. Yeah. And that's why I was like. That would get thrown out. It's like, if it's a legitimate case where it's like,
Starting point is 01:18:16 you promise two hours of entertainment, you gave us like two minutes, like that's something. But if you promise me two hours of entertainment, I've never said it'd be good entertainment. And then you get spiteful artists that just stand up on stage for like two hours. It's like, I'm leaving after two hours. I mean,
Starting point is 01:18:33 There's probably like reimbursement systems in place and stuff like that. Really bad shows, but yeah. I would hope so. I mean, I don't know. You say that, like, I don't know if you've seen Most Def any time recently. Or Yacine Bay.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Yeah, what's his name? Yacine Bay. Is it silly? I think he changed his name. Has it gone again? I don't know. I'll look it up a different story. But like Yacine Bay on stage is not anything
Starting point is 01:18:57 remotely resembling music. It's kind of just, like, even if it was spoken words, you can kind of say, okay, he did something. It's like, hey, what's up crowd? Hey, how's it going? All right, shout out to everybody. All right. Who was born in 1991?
Starting point is 01:19:13 Ooh, cool, cool, cool. That's so shout out. Praise be to you. Praise be to you. All right. Who was born in 1990? Ooh, all right, you go all the way back and that's, that's your show.
Starting point is 01:19:26 That's your show. I'm on stage years just popping people based on what year they're born. I wonder if like, when he gets to the point where he's like, in year 2000, if they're still cheering, are they so wired to cheer for things that relate to them that it's like,
Starting point is 01:19:43 who was born? It's been an hour. Who was born in the year 2000? Devil's stack. Who was born in 2016? Play the fucking song. Like, hey, baby's in the audience. Baby's.
Starting point is 01:20:02 I just looked it up and it's still Yacine Bay. Okay, but that kind of garbage goes down and it's like, yeah, while he stayed up there, he did his time, no matter at the end of the day. But yeah, when it comes to like a virtual Pokemon, what is that promise worth? So I think there need to be precedent set for any sort of running to happen.
Starting point is 01:20:21 I think these cases might be the precedents, right? For one thing or another. Yeah, maybe, perhaps. If they go through, right? So, cause that's, yeah. Right. Daja. And then the whales begin to rise up against the hunters.
Starting point is 01:20:33 Oh, yeah, right. We'll fight back. All the whales. Yeah, bite a leg and, you know, have cat mayhem on the hunt for you because. This is Pokemon. The mobile phone market. The mobile phone market has been hunting whales
Starting point is 01:20:49 for too long. It's about time the whales pitch. Red water. Revengeance. Whale revengeance. This one's just a cool one that is a mini story, but for those who still care. For Honor.
Starting point is 01:21:09 Fun game. Finally getting dedicated servers. So. Little. I'll defer to you, Oli, cause I'm so. That's fine. They announced the details for their seasons three and four with like, you know, content, DLC, packages, characters,
Starting point is 01:21:26 et cetera, stages. But most importantly, they're switching to dedicated servers. And basically the biggest problem was for Honor early on was that it was not on dedicated servers. You're connecting pretty much to other players. So it's pure based. And when someone left because they got salty,
Starting point is 01:21:41 it desynchronized the entire game. Guess how many people were salty playing for Honor? Probably very big men. All of them. Everyone who was losing. So every match, you know, constantly, especially if you're doing four people connected to the same game or eight.
Starting point is 01:21:56 It was an issue. If you play Friday the 13th, it's still such that if the host gets killed in the first 80 seconds of the fight, which it could vary, they get fucking salty and there's no host migration. So if the host fucking leaves, the entire game goes down. Man. It's interesting because like I've been playing
Starting point is 01:22:14 in Tekken 7 online. There's a tournament mode where you join up with a bracket of, you know, minimum eight people. I tried that for the first time literally right before it came. Okay. So I don't know if you caught it, but like there's a whole thing set up where once you join and the tournament starts,
Starting point is 01:22:27 there's a brief window where you can quit. And if you do, you're penalized the money that goes into the pot, right? The Tekken dollars. But after the first round goes by, there's no longer a quit button at all. Yeah, no, there's nothing you can do. Just go backing out.
Starting point is 01:22:42 I noticed that. Yeah. So like anyone who pretty much rage quits, like you get treated as if it was, you know, like as if it was a rage quit and you get the penalization for that, but they lock you in on that. And so yeah, with Ferron are here, you know, like that was just a major issue
Starting point is 01:22:57 that no one could really do anything about. Cause there's, there's nothing to verify, you know? So now that's finally going to help with that stability. And you know, like the one major issue, well, not one, but the one of the major issues being fixed was that the other one being like the currency being like, kind of worthless in the long run because things are so expensive
Starting point is 01:23:16 that you take you over a year of playing. Yeah. I remember you threw that metric around. It was insane of playing every single day nonstop to, you know, it was so. Yeah. I feel like a week in that game went, all right, I'm not going to be able to buy anything ever
Starting point is 01:23:30 in existence. Jesus. Yeah. So that's what they've been doing with that. Matt, just to let you know, Night Trap is coming out on August 15th. You say that people throw this at me. I've no.
Starting point is 01:23:46 Nothing. Nothing about that. I'll play it. I just have no real like I never played because I was on the fucking Sega CD for fuck's sake. I never had one. Yeah. I get it.
Starting point is 01:23:56 But it's just. It's just an awfully acted horror like live action game. Liam was telling me, he's like, man, that thing's going to be big. They're going to sell so much. And I was like, really? And he goes, yeah, think about it. Every night trap and Mortal Kombat
Starting point is 01:24:10 were literally what contributed to the SRB. Like Night Trap was specifically cited as like, this is corrupt in youth. And people are going to remember that and people will buy this, especially like digitally. There's like a physical run for the game for fuck's sake. There's a, hey, hey, there's a physical run
Starting point is 01:24:27 for a Sega 32 X game on the PS4 in 2017. And I'm like, that's crazy to me. So that'll be on the channel for sure. But other than that, I don't, yeah, Night Trap is weird. I think Liam's crazy. I don't think it's going to do gangbusters, but I think it'll be a thing.
Starting point is 01:24:45 I think you mean, he meant like it's going to do really well for that company. For what that is. Gangbusters, no. I mean, the fact that it's coming back is, 25th anniversary director's cut criterion collection. Night Trap. I think it'll do really well
Starting point is 01:24:59 for like a streaming or a YouTube type audience. Yeah, yeah. Hey, it's the nostalgia. Hey, and then after that. I was checking out. I think it'll have like a streaming mode or something where people do something. I think I heard something.
Starting point is 01:25:09 I might be wrong. And then after the first week, it'll just be like, and we didn't. Yeah. Oh shit, I'm playing the Sega 32 X game. Why? Was it Sega 32 X, who cares? I think it was CD.
Starting point is 01:25:20 Austin would care. Good news, Brennan. I was mistaken what we saw with Dragon Ball Fighter's registration thing because we were panicking because I thought it was this weekend. And fucking everyone was panicking. What happened this weekend was
Starting point is 01:25:37 the ticket downloads are now available. Sorry? So you download a virtual ticket. Oh, fuck you. And the closed beta then opens up September 18th. September 16th to 18th. And the registration date is moved to August 22nd. So there is a, it's not the clearest cut,
Starting point is 01:25:59 just download and play online beta. They're doing a couple of extra steps here to make sure I guess that they'll have the servers big enough to handle the rush. Yeah, that's fine. They had the brief delay, right? So that they could, because they were kind of almost surprised
Starting point is 01:26:12 by the overwhelming support. The rush would be unstoppable. It's like a three week delay about it, I think. So yeah, so like to clarify the story is saying, signups which were previously announced to open on July 26th, moved to August 22nd to expand the capacity of the closed beta to enable more players to participate.
Starting point is 01:26:30 And yeah, so that you can then go and get your download ticket on the August 22nd to play on September 16th. I wanna see if there's a company that can possibly do this type of stuff, right? Where they estimate what the fucking demand will be and they meet it and it's fine. There's one second left.
Starting point is 01:26:57 Because everyone either fucking under, like doesn't, like has no idea how popular the shit's gonna be. Everything crashes, everything fucking sucks and no one's able to play. Or it's the opposite where they have to delay stuff like this is to if they're like, oh no, we have to make sure this is right.
Starting point is 01:27:14 And there's so much demand. We're gonna have to delay things because we didn't anticipate this level of hype, right? Like no one's gonna get it in the middle because it's such a hard thing. I mean, wouldn't you almost have to do the ticket thing before you even plan on doing the beta almost? I guess that's what they're doing.
Starting point is 01:27:30 Yeah, and he's a measurement. Get an actual measurement, right? Yeah, get a real measurement and be like, okay, we will prepare for this many tickets to treat it like an actual event. I mean, like that, as weird as that sounds, that getting that number makes way more sense than it does. How many other games made us came out recently
Starting point is 01:27:47 where people are just staring at the press start screen going, fuck! Every stream on Twitch, people just mashing, fuck you, fuck you, you know, like, that's this. You did that. Yeah. Yeah. The street, yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:02 Yeah. We spent the entire time through that, going, fuck you, it'll work. All right, so this is a step in the right direction is all I'm trying to say. We'll get there, we'll get there. I agree with it. I'm just saying, it's like, it's really hard,
Starting point is 01:28:16 this type of stuff. And last, but not least, just a quick, almost PSA for the folks out there that. That was so. That's nice, I'm gonna steal it. Well, this is a PSA for 2,000 people. There is a Dark Souls vinyl trilogy. I thought you were gonna say people for me.
Starting point is 01:28:34 I want it, I want it now. It's fucking limited to 2,000, dude. Why did they do this? Why? I am when and I'm on my phone now. So the Dark Souls vinyl trilogy will be available exclusively on Bandai Namco's upcoming online store this autumn, that's all we know.
Starting point is 01:28:54 All right. It is, for those who need clarification, an eight disc collection of all the music from the entire Dark Souls trilogy. And that includes over five hours of instrumental tunes by Matoi Sakuraba. Yep, and Yuka Kitamura. So, coming in this super fancy box,
Starting point is 01:29:20 just put that on your radar. Oh yeah. 2,000 people. Need it, want it. I just love those first things, I want it, need it. Now what? Don't even have a vinyl player, just want it. But it's just like, if you know you're gonna...
Starting point is 01:29:40 It's Dark Souls, maybe Demon Souls one. It's like 2,000, sure, no one knows. A limited run of a Dark Souls anything should be 20,000. Right? Yeah. That's being really modest. How much are you underestimating your audience? It's being incredibly modest, but anyway.
Starting point is 01:29:59 Let's take some quick emails as we wrap up. It's email time. If you have an email and you wanna tell us about your vinyl collection, you can do so at superbestfriendcast.com. Just write in and... Brennan, that's what? Super best friendcast at gmail.com.
Starting point is 01:30:18 Just write in, need it, need it, want it, want it, want it. Want it, need it now. And your email might sound a little something like this. Here's one coming in from Kenneth. He says, there's your best friendcast. I'm not sure how it was for you growing up, but for me, mobile things were being quickly integrated into school life.
Starting point is 01:30:40 Gameboys and such went from the teacher will snatch on site to turn it in at the morning to just don't play with it in class. Seeing the switch as a sort of straddle, seeing the switch sort of straddles in line of console handheld, would you let your kids take a switch with them to school? It depends on the age of the child.
Starting point is 01:30:58 I would like, you know, 12 years old would. My kids don't have a switch. Okay, Brennan, but if you were a general, this is going to become a hypothetical in the near future. I would not let my kid have switches expensive. But also your oldest will probably, by the time you would give her a switch,
Starting point is 01:31:19 the switch might not even be a thing, right? Switch is really weird because I wouldn't have a problem with, because even, okay, when I was a kid, I took my Gameboy to summer camp once. Yeah. Oh, I love this. This is good. You're fucking a tail.
Starting point is 01:31:34 I took my Gameboy to summer camp and I let a kid borrow it and he didn't give it back. And then I went home to my parents and they were like, where's your Gameboy? And I was like, the kid took it. And he didn't give it back. And I was in so much trouble. So, middle school.
Starting point is 01:31:56 Middle school. Okay. Okay. Actually, I remember my math teacher in grade seven showed me how to add quick time to my PSP. Because he had them in self. He was like, this is how you do it. And I was like, okay, thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:32:13 So, yeah. I mean, even in a time when I was going to, I had my Gameboying stuff at school a lot of the time. And elementary, it never really worked because they would have taken it on site when I was back then. But we had Tetris on calculators. We were pulling that off.
Starting point is 01:32:31 Our TI-83s were installing PimpQuest and shit like that. So, the kids will find a way. We'll find a way either way. But yeah, I feel like the Switch is like, you're at a full console. You're going to have breath of the wild with you. I never really thought of it. You're going to have breath of the wild with you at school.
Starting point is 01:32:49 It's not like handheld where it's not that expensive. It's like a fucking console. I barely trust myself to go places with the Switch lest I fucking forget it or give it to a bigger kid. Yeah. If it wasn't a bigger kid, I'm the biggest kid. I like how many... That's actually why I got in trouble
Starting point is 01:33:08 is because they thought I got mugged. And they were like, what are you getting? My dad was like, who's beating you up for a... How tall were you back then? Probably like... Still larger. I mean, I was probably like eight, so like five. Five?
Starting point is 01:33:24 Yeah, yeah, sure. No. But like, yeah, I mean, I didn't even think of that. I mean, I still have the Switch. Like I said, I showed it the day before and I didn't even think to go, oh yeah, I can just take it places, but yeah. Lots of...
Starting point is 01:33:36 I'm sure that we're in a place now where it's not uncommon to see kids in grade six with an iPad. Yeah. No, it's very, it's very... Like actually most schools require it now. They have smart boards as a thing. I'm learning and all that stuff. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:33:50 Most kids, most schools actually give out... They're good schools, yeah. But like, you know, my girlfriend works in like, yeah, with schools and such and it has been telling me about how like, yeah, certain classes, you know, they hand in their phones at the beginning and take them back at the end. So it's possible that you'll be tossing in your Switch
Starting point is 01:34:09 and or iPad into the bucket. Into the bin. You know? It's a collection bin. And then getting it later, right? That's not impossible. Like also like kids are just way more savvy than like we were as children.
Starting point is 01:34:21 You know, just because you grow up with commercials about like, you know, your newest fucking device is super expensive and whatever. It's elites and you're cool if you have it. Kids aren't gonna be like you or like me or just trusting and just say, yeah, play my game, cool. I did get that back by the way. I got my game back.
Starting point is 01:34:37 Eventually. Yeah. You powerbombed them? I didn't powerbomb them, but I did get it back. Oh, sorry, you football tackled them. Yeah, it was a different time. So did I. I was way back then.
Starting point is 01:34:48 But it only came in the mail bag by, you know, proxy from a really kind soul because I got my Gameboy stolen as well. And it was, Oh yeah, you didn't. That was a thing. Another parallel. This is Willie's moment where he looks at it,
Starting point is 01:35:02 but the sky in a single T-arrow zone. Hey, man. Hey, man. No, someone was really nice. They were, they were. But yeah. No, but I think middle school's a decent compromise as well. It's like a mixture of being old enough
Starting point is 01:35:14 to like be responsible and not lose it. Send the responsibility of your own thing, not get it broken and then no one to use it. I mean, middle school is the thing where it's like, okay, you're now basically allowed to leave at lunch and go somewhere. Go go and go. So at that point,
Starting point is 01:35:29 you have that kind of responsibility you should be. Okay. And I did nothing. I just stayed in school and they were like, you can just do whatever during your lunch period. I'm like, I'm gonna stay here. I don't have any more to go. I even get a fucking handle console through the DS.
Starting point is 01:35:42 I just had to make just expensive Willie with his Gameboys. I had fucking tiger electronic games. My parents would never buy me a fucking console. The PSP was my music player, man. With what was it, like 32 megs? So I had like six songs and this giant thing in my pocket, like, yeah, yeah, oh, it's the future.
Starting point is 01:35:59 Yeah, yeah. I got this. Did Lil V have a PSP on a chain around his neck at any point? He didn't go that far. It didn't go that far. It had the, it had the sponsor. Are you gonna say some bullshit to me like you're 22? I am 26.
Starting point is 01:36:13 That's still bad. I just turned 26. 26 Club. Fuck this room. I hate everyone here except for Willie. It's garbage. I know. And even then, I hate Willie a little bit.
Starting point is 01:36:24 Even then, I would unblame you. We got the next one coming in from Lauren. He says, if you could be mentored by any character and master their style, what would you want to learn from them? Oh, this is in top 10 of best questions. That's really good. Any character in anything.
Starting point is 01:36:44 Even though you talk about how he's never successful, I would want to learn from Akuma, he says. That's cool. Zero on Akuma. Who would you want to mentor you and teach you their style? Do they have to be a mentor type character that would even do it? No.
Starting point is 01:37:01 No, I don't imagine so. I think you can just break the rules and pick somebody. In any media or game specifically? Let's make it fun and say any of them. Any media. The boss. The boss is pretty good. What would she teach you?
Starting point is 01:37:16 CQC. The basics, of course. The basics of it, yes. That just how to think. You never taught me how to think like a soldier. How to think like a soldier, no one can teach you that. Yeah. The boss or the big boss?
Starting point is 01:37:33 Like I'll learn from both. Yeah, that's a question that you gotta really ruminate on a little bit. I want to see the boss look at me and just be like pending their fingers like what am I supposed to do with this fuckin' do-boy-man-child? What am I supposed to do?
Starting point is 01:37:50 Oh, how do I make something? How do I whip this thing into shit? Who was, I can't, oh my God, I feel like an ass. Who's the main character of Brutal Legend? Oh, it's Jack Black. Yeah. Jack Black. If I wanted to be able to shred people's faces off,
Starting point is 01:38:06 I want to learn that secret. That makes sense. Okay, that's good. I'd be able to do that. That would be really useful. I'm gonna say... I may just hit a release response. Yeah, it, I went through, I pared it down and...
Starting point is 01:38:20 17 characters. There's quite a few things I want, but you can't pick someone that's got an awesome power that you don't have, because then mentoring you will don't do anything. That was a fact. Right, so you have to think about what can be taught and passed down,
Starting point is 01:38:35 not what this cool guy can do. So that, taking into consideration, I would pick Gyro Zappelli from JoJo Part Seven. He can't learn the Ripple. Because he can teach me the goddamn, the spin. Yes. It's not the Ripple, it's better than the Ripple. It's the improved version from Steel Ball Run.
Starting point is 01:38:55 It's the rotation and it's the ability to take all rotations in life and use them to manipulate reality in crazy ways and also have a cool bullet, you know, when you need it. But like, he does ridiculous things. Like, yeah, making a person that can't walk, stand up because it hits his hips and he's got the ability to suddenly...
Starting point is 01:39:18 He forces. Yeah, it's like, not the Ripple, but the spin can do so much. I would absolutely go with Gyro. I would go with All Might from Hero Aka. And I know, and I thought, I was like, oh, well, you don't get the powers, but in this case, you do.
Starting point is 01:39:34 You do get his powers. You just eat his hair. Fair enough. So that is my answer. Okay. And he's just great, great dad. Best dad. You?
Starting point is 01:39:48 Yeah, I already answered it. Sorry, check black. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Okay, all right. Yeah. That's good. I mean, I think there's even, like any of us could say even more.
Starting point is 01:39:56 I mean, I could, yeah. Yeah, of course, of course. If you get any time with this, I could think of a lot. Like, my first to me, I was like, I'd like Ken to teach me. I'd like to be the Sean to Ken. Yeah, right, right, right.
Starting point is 01:40:06 Like Ryu, Ryu's weird because I'm very colored by the Udon comics. Like that's my Street Fighter lore thing, even though you can get more official stuff from where, Willie? Besides Udon comics? Yeah, where do you get the official Street Fighter lore from?
Starting point is 01:40:22 Street Fighter devotion. I was gonna say, Team Matt's plot guy. Team Matt's plot guy. But in the Udon comics, it's just like, it presents Ryu, like I'm not a teacher. I'm learning myself. I think it's something to be said.
Starting point is 01:40:37 Like, I did ask, you know, does it have to be a teaching type figure? But like, yeah, I don't think you're not guaranteed to get good teaching from just anybody. That's true. That's the truth. Like, I would love to learn fighting. A lot of people are good at what they do,
Starting point is 01:40:49 but not good at teaching. I taught for 10 years and I've seen some good teachers and I've seen some guys who are like, whoa. Yeah, so in the Ryu situation, I was like, yeah, he doesn't see himself as a teacher. But like, I would think Guts is not a good teacher, but he does teach,
Starting point is 01:41:04 he teaches Isidro things, even though initially I believe Guts was like, nah, fuck you, you're just a little kid. But then eventually he sees the kid trying stuff out and he's like, look, like, hold the sword like this for fuck's sake, or whatever. So there's characters that might not even be teachers, but actually can do it.
Starting point is 01:41:21 And have done it. Yeah. Cause yeah, Keith, Sean, and Ken, right? Exactly. Yeah, I would never think Ken would be the teacher. I'd always think Ryu would be the teacher. And Sakura only learns from Ryu by like staring at him with a dollar or something.
Starting point is 01:41:34 Whereas Sean is a dedicated student and Sakura can beat his ass. Sakura can beat his ass, super. Oh, not new generation, Sean. Sure, sure. Oh, Piccolo would be a good one too. Piccolo, cause he's proven that he's an actual, he's an actual good teacher.
Starting point is 01:41:49 Yeah. No, that's pretty solid. And like, I would say like, I'd love to like learn from someone like Miguel Saintecan, but it's like, he's raw ability, no talent, right? Oh, here, just drink this. I don't know if I can figure it out. Oh, here.
Starting point is 01:42:04 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's pretty good. Or, Jack and Hagar from Game of Thrones, right? Yes. Where it's like, you want the sick ass ability to just become morph? Okay, come with me. This one for you, Rob.
Starting point is 01:42:21 Yeah. My broad. Let's take one from... Good question. One from Matt. Matt says... Hey, what's up? Hey, you? I recently watched the anime film, Your Name.
Starting point is 01:42:37 And for the first time in my life, I started to cry out of pure joy from a piece of entertainment. What's the first piece of entertainment that's ever made you cry? This is hard for me to remember. But yeah, I've heard a lot of people say Your Name is incredible.
Starting point is 01:42:52 Yeah, I've heard very, I still haven't seen it cause I don't get to go out to the movies. Yeah, but when it was the limited release, and yeah, I would recommend that you go check it out just from hearsay. Yeah. I mean, I've cried in fear to things, but I'm not sure that I don't think
Starting point is 01:43:09 that's what the question is asking. I think I did. Maybe the first time is during Ocarina of Time when Link says goodbye to Arya when you leave... Sorry, not Arya. Oh my God. Sarah? Sarah?
Starting point is 01:43:24 Sarah. Oh my God. Sorry, I was reading the next question, but yeah. When he's on the little rope bridge, and she's like, all right, buy Link, and Link just like turns around, and at the time I forgot that, or I wasn't aware that Link doesn't talk
Starting point is 01:43:37 cause he doesn't talk. Or he talks, but like it's not conveyed that he is talking, and I was just like, oh, he was so mean to her, he didn't say anything. I'll think he was implied that he said something, and I remember tearing up to that, but I'm sure there's stuff earlier, but I can't remember when it was.
Starting point is 01:43:53 That's just the first thing that sprung to mind. I have a much worse one. I watched, okay, there's this, only a handful of people might even know what I'm talking about, but there was this VHS that came out every February of this Dr. Martin Luther King cartoon by Deke, and it was called Our Friend Martin.
Starting point is 01:44:18 And it was about some kids, now we're some super 90s kids, they were 90s kids, and they went to Martin Luther King's house, and they touched his magic things, and Wolfie Goldberg was there, and she winds the clock, and basically they traveled back in time to different periods of Martin Luther King's life, and then at the end of the movie,
Starting point is 01:44:42 they say, hey, Martin, because they didn't know he died, I guess, they were like, hey, if you stick around here, you're gonna die, and so they took him back as a kid, they took him as a kid, and they took him to the future, and then the future had changed. Okay, okay, and there's a moment. Like Bishop style? There's a moment where Martin Luther King
Starting point is 01:45:07 picks up the magic time machine glove that they used to get back in time in the first place, and he says, I don't want this to be this way for you, there's something that I know I have to do. So then they added this extra layer to Martin Luther King. What? He knew? That he knew he was going to die.
Starting point is 01:45:28 And he went back to face me! And they show, they show the wormhole, they show him walk through the wormhole, and he blows up. Wait, what, is this a mango? That's crazy, what is this? I might need to find it, we need to watch it tonight. Okay, so he goes into the wormhole,
Starting point is 01:45:47 and you see him, because he's a kid, they had gone through different periods of his life, and they said, okay, hey, it's the kid Martin Luther King, and he goes through the wormhole, and he ages, and you see him become a teenager, and you see him grow his mustache, and you see him walk with his wife and his kids, and then all of a sudden it stops,
Starting point is 01:46:04 and it's a real image, because they would splice in like real footage of stuff. And it was a real image with a cartoon shadow of him opening the door at the hotel that he was staying at before he got shot, and you just hear, oh, wow. And I just remember little six, seven-year-old Brennan, I was just like, I cried, and I was bawling,
Starting point is 01:46:32 and I went downstairs, and I was like, why did he need to die, why did Martin Luther King die? They fucking, they retarded it so that he knew, they fucking made him an even bigger hero. I was dying. Oh, man. That's the one thing. My friend Martin, I actually have like an all-star cast,
Starting point is 01:46:52 like I look to them afterwards. Somebody else talk, I'll come up with the- They pulled the boss on Martin Luther King. It's, that's the one thing you can do in whatever, it's like a character is already like a martyr, or like a heroic figure that goes down for being a legend, and it's like you go back, and you have the moment where it's like, no, no, they did this knowingly,
Starting point is 01:47:17 and did it to save the future. I know it's a podcast, but look at this picture. Our friend Martin. And it's animated? Well, I actually can't tell. It's animated. But it would splice in a little like reflection of things. And the clock says 1941 in the corner.
Starting point is 01:47:31 When did that come out? 1941. 1999. 1999. Directed. 1999. Directed. We were, we were, we were, we were, we were,
Starting point is 01:47:43 and it consisted of a cast of, okay, different, they had a different person play Martin Luther King at every stage of his life. So LeBar Burton played him at 26. Jaleel White played him at 15. They got everybody. Yeah. Angela Bassett, it was in it.
Starting point is 01:48:01 Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, Samuel L. Jackson. Oh, okay. They were all the world. All the world. James Earl Jones was Martin Luther King's dad. Everyone got in there. John Travolta was in it. All right.
Starting point is 01:48:14 Oprah Winfrey was Coretta Scott King. God damn. I didn't even know that. Geez, this is like, it's like they, they got together, right? Right? The black people delegation got together. Like how do we make Martin Luther King better?
Starting point is 01:48:27 How do we improve? How do we build and make it even more sad? Let's make him Jesus. Ah, that's strong. Let's make him Jesus black, John Connor. Basically. Yeah, you're right. Time traveler.
Starting point is 01:48:42 I have to go back. Oh no. That's the craziest thing I've heard. It's on, it's on. We're gonna find it. Never heard of this. We're gonna find it. Usually when someone says maybe a handful of people know this,
Starting point is 01:48:54 you're like, ah, fuck you. And then like, everyone knows it. I have never heard of this. Like, like, like soon Malcolm X took the plague into himself and it was the only way to stop it from spreading. Like, well, he gives me too much credit for knowing Meteor Man.
Starting point is 01:49:11 Like, I need the Meteor Man. Oh no. Martin Luther King joining the Avengers. God dammit. Wow, all right. Wow. Strong. Did you?
Starting point is 01:49:24 I didn't, but I don't know how I'm supposed to follow that. I know. I should have seen that for last. Yeah, there isn't much. I mean, music can do that to me. I've never actually, I think I've only ever like full on cried once. I tear up at stuff.
Starting point is 01:49:37 Like, I won't spoil the moment, but like in your automata, if you, who's here to finish it or play it? You're on the air. The only one? Okay, so I won't say the pile. All right, well, there's a moment where you end up fighting alongside a couple of characters
Starting point is 01:49:53 and I was just like, and there's a callback to music from the first game. And I was like, oh, I'm also the final fight in Dark Souls 3. Yeah, I know, that's a good one. I was like, but the, I was just like, oh, that's good. And you being a music guy, if I know anything about New Year's,
Starting point is 01:50:12 that music is a very strong component. God, yeah. But the only time I've ever actually like full on cried was the, I saw the Pokemon movie, the very first one in, and, and I don't even know what you're talking about. You know exactly what scene I'm talking about, and I always like, like water water spam.
Starting point is 01:50:34 Semi-related, I also cried when he let go of Butterfree. Yeah, yeah, that's a strong moment. And also when he was gonna let go of Pikachu. Yeah, God, that's too strong. The, like, I'm surprised we're not getting any, like, G.I. Joe, the movie or Transformers, the movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Duke fell into a coma.
Starting point is 01:50:54 He's gonna be okay. They had to change it. He just had this spear snake into his heart. So many, so many like balling children at Optimus Prime led to them making Duke fall into a coma because they couldn't handle him because the marketing was like, don't fucking kill off major characters
Starting point is 01:51:14 and are fucking things, kids fucking cry, and parents complain. Which is a really, like, I wouldn't, you know, like a kid, if it was scaring the kid, then yeah, that's something else. But like, what's your kid's experience? Dare you make my children feel things. Yeah, don't make my child feel feelings.
Starting point is 01:51:32 This is inconvenient to me. But then a parent has to be bothered to explain, yes, you're a non-real animated hero. Yeah, he didn't actually die because he's not fucking real. Really? Yeah. That's just a note.
Starting point is 01:51:46 How dare you inconvenience me by making me have a conversation with my child. So like, not really, not really like full on tears, but just like a good light motif will get you going. Oh yeah, no, a good little musical cue and I'm just like, oh, pause. There it is, there it is. I didn't fight it, I'm repressed.
Starting point is 01:52:05 I'm a little relaxed. We are actually metal, man. What do you think the sun glasses are for? It keeps the feelings back. In one of the, the second panel I did today, we were talking about, yeah, it just started falling, it was really emotional. We were talking about Angel Beats
Starting point is 01:52:24 and we came to the conclusion that Angel Beats is not a very well-written story. It's not, it's kind of a mess. Controversial? No, but outside of the actual writing, the direction and the music are highest here. Okay.
Starting point is 01:52:44 And I remember, because I didn't, I didn't even think of this at first, but I was like, why did I cry at the end of Angel Beats? And I was like, it was just, it was so emotionally manipulative that I was like, I didn't know why. I was like, I'm really sad right now. What is this feeling?
Starting point is 01:52:59 Interesting. So it was like, the story isn't that good, but you still feel it at the end because it's that, because everything else is that good. The acting and everything else. That's something you can't break apart the moment you've seen it. You have to digest it and then go, wait, hold on.
Starting point is 01:53:15 Yeah, no, and I was, I remember vividly, because I was sitting on a plane and I'm, I get to the end and I'm like, man, it's over. And then I was like, why do I feel this way? Okay. I, yeah, like I think lots of things of like, you get the lump in the throat. I've gotten the lump in the throat from a lot of things.
Starting point is 01:53:38 And it doesn't take much for that, but it takes a lot to get actual tears. For me, it's weird. It's a very bell curvy sliding scale of just like, yeah, I will lump up very easily, but tears, it takes something huge. So that's why the first time I can remember, like full on, like, no, they're going full water.
Starting point is 01:54:02 It wasn't that documentary, was it? It was. Yes. I knew it. It doesn't really count. Did you end up watching it? No, I never did. I don't know, I don't know if it even counts
Starting point is 01:54:11 because it's documentary. It's media. It's called, yeah, it's called Dear Zachary. Oh my God. And it is soul annihilating. I don't know what else to say. And there's no, like, there's no hope on the other side. They're like, it's just, it's just find out the story
Starting point is 01:54:29 of what happened. I think the first time we mentioned this, it just like was on your week on the podcast. Yeah. You just mentioned I watched this and it fucking devastated me. Yeah, yeah, well, that's the thing that comes to mind. Like, I've never had any media I've watched
Starting point is 01:54:41 ever trigger tears as hard as that. There's a certain, like, okay, like, you get like why you feel certain things. They're that, that movie or documentary like makes you feel hopelessness. Like that is like despair. I think that's a pretty apt description because they're, you know, usually, you know,
Starting point is 01:55:00 a movie that makes you feel something. It gives you something at the end where it's like, hey, no, it's not the best. Even a sad ending. It's like, hey, but we're moving on. But like that movie is so just like, yeah. Like when Paul walked in and I, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:15 Yeah, yeah, exactly. At the end of Fast and the Furious. Yeah, it's like, hey, man, but you're riding somewhere else. Yeah, yeah, exactly. No, that, yeah. Oh, man. And it's, and it's like, there's other, you know,
Starting point is 01:55:26 like really like fucked up documentaries about like bad things that have happened. And, and, you know, like, you kind of get taken through it, but I just think there's something special about the confluence of events in Deer Zachary and also the reason for the entire documentary existing. You know, that makes a difference.
Starting point is 01:55:43 So, yeah, if you ever feel like you need to know if you're still human, watch Deer Zachary. You check it out. Yeah, it's something else. All right, with that, what's coming up and out? What are you guys excited for? And what's going on?
Starting point is 01:56:01 For our channel, things remain the same. Do you, you did Pire, you didn't do another one off? We did Pire and, And the cat lady. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We didn't do another one, but we had others that we wanted to look at. But yeah, we're back on our normal schedule.
Starting point is 01:56:18 So, the cat lady continues. And LA Noir, almost done LA Noir. We're reaching there. And that stuff remains the same. You guys have anything you wanna tell people that are coming forth like on your channel or? Oh, I mean. Well, first off, you see,
Starting point is 01:56:35 Star gave that great, that great, Star gave that great little drunken, shilty, that you'll cover of ebb and flow from Splatoon 2 is fucking literally taking over the world. That's a lot less we forget his Rashid theme kind of played at Evo. Yeah, Evo probably. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:56:54 And the whole room, like all 12,000 people, see. Literally, I'm at a rehearsal and going, no, shut up, we're watching this. I don't even care. It was the best, man. Yeah. Well, first off, I should chill,
Starting point is 01:57:09 because I haven't yet. Chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill. YouTube.com slash littlevmills, switch.com slash, that's switch.tv slash littlevmills, at littlevmills, all that good stuff. Patreon.com. Patreon at littlevmills, everything. Littlev.bandcamp.com.
Starting point is 01:57:26 Good branding, good branding. But yeah, so I actually just uploaded something this weekend to the arm's theme and rented a gym bay for it too, to the whole inside. Yeah, cool. I'll show it afterwards too. And working on some other stuff. The big thing for me is I'm moving clear across the country,
Starting point is 01:57:45 which that's gonna kind of occupy some time. So the schedule. Where? Where? Where? Where are you going? Where are you going? I was down in some, some, nowhere town called Montreal.
Starting point is 01:57:56 I don't know. Whoa. Montreal, becoming the new, becoming the new YouTube town or something? Yeah, take it over. And yeah, so once that's all taken care of, to those who are listening who actually know who I am, my schedule should go back to normal, back to what it was.
Starting point is 01:58:12 I've been doing like two videos a month instead of four videos a month just to kind of like process the move and stuff like that. So my schedule should go back and stuff like that. And yeah, also planning on doing some live videos as well too, doing essentially setting up like a live streaming type show on Twitch and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:58:30 And so basically like you would see at a convention kind of idea, but like doing it and then like a live and like on an online kind of thing like that too. So music. Brennan Stern, subscribe to the WWE Network for 999. Yes. You should. I'm looking forward to just wrestling more,
Starting point is 01:58:50 hitting more people with chains, beating people up, slamming them on their necks. Maybe keep watching, or subscribe to Up Up Down Down because there might be some anime content coming that way soon. I don't know. I don't know. You're making content you asked for.
Starting point is 01:59:06 Yeah, the anime content you needed. I'm not saying anything more than that, but maybe your boy might be in charge of all that. So keep an eye out. What's going on? Oh my God. Follow me on everything at Great Black with Taku because I also have good branding.
Starting point is 01:59:21 That's it. All right, and if all things come together right, then you can also, we'll be recording a little bit more hopefully of our little tabletop adventure. Yes. Table lords over on. I did not know that you did not know that I could do that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:41 So now you know. Awesome. And we can keep doing it. Yep, so that's me and Brennan and Moth and Fisticuffs playing tabletop games, having fun with Kingdom Death Monster on Woolly versus. Also, a whole lot of guns were held to a whole lot of heads. So that's gonna be happening for a little bit as well.
Starting point is 02:00:02 And yeah, I guess there's, well, whatever. There's stuff I'm working on, but I'll announce it when it's ready. So bear. Speaking of announcements, I'll take the floor. If you're at Com Bravo this year, you would have maybe seen it if you came during our Squirb Lords Unite panel,
Starting point is 02:00:21 which is just fun Q and A. I think we all kind of killed it. But this would be the time to mention I am actually opening up my own side channel. Oh boy. I'm at Matt McMussles on YouTube. It's gonna go officially live August 1st. It's in a day or so.
Starting point is 02:00:41 You know, if you follow my Twitter, follow me Tumblr, you'll see it all there. You can expect Bible Black. You can expect serial reviews. You can expect a lot of Godzilla content. We got a question during the Q and A today. And the reason why it usually has a side channel is to do the content that you really, really want to do
Starting point is 02:01:01 that just doesn't really fit the schedule if you have a bigger channel. So if I want to do toy box reviews, stuff that people do like, but then people are like, where's my LP cards? Yeah. You know, it's for that type of stuff. So you're gonna see a lot of fun things.
Starting point is 02:01:18 You know, I'm gonna expect three videos, maybe a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, making sure to give Woolly a bigger birth. That's a big commitment. Three, three weeks, big. Three videos a week, yeah. But you can expect a lot of different stuff. How about streaming too?
Starting point is 02:01:39 Streaming, you know, with this, I might stream a little bit less. You know, just maybe stream like maybe once a week, maybe even less than that just because, you know, I need time to put all this content out. But if you like Godzilla stuff, if you like Friday the 13th, if you like Hentai, it's the place to go.
Starting point is 02:01:58 There you go. Love all of those things. Can I get that on a shirt? If you like Hentai, it's the place to go. And then just, yeah. Yeah, yeah, you might get that eventually. But I've been working pretty hard on it and it's just one of those passion projects,
Starting point is 02:02:14 much like Woolly versus is, or it's like I have too many ideas in my head. I need to get them out there. And, you know, when you're set on a schedule, like this machine of LPs, it's just, you know, it clogs up the works a little bit and you get some people that just like, I'd rather, you know, maybe this not be here
Starting point is 02:02:30 in case my LP part. You know, like it's understandable in the sense that like we have a regular schedule that people get used to seeing the part of. It's human, it's literally human nature. It's literally exactly, right? So the pattern and you get used to it. And so it's not there.
Starting point is 02:02:44 Something new, but not what I wanted. Therefore, disappointment. And you go, oh, but I want to work on new things. So that's what these are perfect for. Yeah, exactly. So, you know, I look forward to that. I hope you guys like it. It's going to be a disaster.
Starting point is 02:02:59 Plus, you might recognize a certain someone's music. You might recognize a certain someone's music in what I hope to be a very good channel. Radical. Radical. A channel trailer that hopefully goes up very soon. Brennan's music. Yes.
Starting point is 02:03:16 And Little V meals wrestling a bit. Like to announce that I am changing careers. Yeah. We're going to switch. So I'm going to take your guitar and take my boots. Let's do it really quickly. I'm walking down the street with our cosplayer friend and Brennan and she goes, man,
Starting point is 02:03:32 I really wish I could be a big brawny guy to cosplay all the really cool characters I like. And she's like, I need to work out a little bit. At least I can buff on my body a little bit to do so. And then there's a silence and Brennan just goes, I wish I were the little girl. That's amazing. I've barked out laughter all the streets in Alton.
Starting point is 02:03:53 Everyone's barking at me. We're out on that note. Thanks, guys. Thank you so much. Thank you.
