uh-huh okay well then all right hey everybody what up Well then. All right. Hey, everybody. What up? What happened? Why is Twitter blowing up? Why are you bothering me while I'm on my phone looking at my furry pornography? Are you not? We're hot. We're hot?

We're live right now. I shouldn't be watching my furry pornography on Plague's Twitter. Oh my god. Let's go to the screen. That's hilarious. Like, I just... Wow.

Oh man. Alright. How to begin here. This is brand new. People sent us this like two minutes ago. Councilman resigns after secret furry life revealed oh no it's a picture of like a 70 year old guy oh no you know what i like about that what happened what i like about that that guy so whenever we talk about furryism we always talk about how ism it's an ism now well sure whatever uh furry fandom or whatever it's always under the the the assumption that people watched robin hood as kids people watched animaniacs as kids people you know yada yada yada

right yep um this guy would have been like 40 when that was going down he he he like he's just like yeah you know what yeah yeah a connecticut councilman is resigning after his profile on a website catering to furries appeared on social media but the outgoing first term democrat insists his animal costume fetish has nothing to do with sex i think this sucks i think that the fact that he felt like he needed to resign is the worst because i want is him to go to the meetings or whatever and just be like fuck it are we kink shaming over and over in washington now full blown is that what's going on with the tie at the thing is there a dress code for those things oh there could be a collar and tie absolutely would fit on top of a furry suit

you super can get a suit made oh yeah like go to a big and tall store oh yeah bursting at the seams where you got the little like shoulders with the like the fur patches sticking out drawing on i love it like coming out the thing. So there's a saber wolf costume in KI where he's got the suit on. But the suit's exploding. It's exploding off of him. Yeah. Absolutely.

Oh, my goodness. All right. Because this is – I want – because if that guy starts that trend, then you get the scenario of everyone's coming to work dressed as their secret fetish i mean look it's like this this thing has happened how many times where uh-oh turns out super republican congressman is way into some kinky shit or and it comes out and explodes in this way that blows up his career over in rhode island's been cheating on his wife for 30 years yeah hookers exactly you know or yeah and it's just like oh man like that's always just that's always just one of the worst stories you know you hate to see it happen but

but this one this is so it's so out of his time i think this one's fun but it's also sad because i don't like that he resigned no i think that it is sad that he resigned i want to see him field questions yes and he could absolutely have been a. I want to see him field question. Yes. And he could absolutely have been a spokesperson. I want to see him on behalf of the furry community. He could have been that guy. You could have been that guy, man. Oh, Scott Chamberlain has nothing to do with sex.

That's not what you think sounds like. I don't know what the fuck you think sounds like. Do you? It sounds like the word Yiff. Is that really? Isning sounds like. Do you? It sounds like the word yiff. Is that really? Isn't that where it comes from? It comes from the sound effect. I thought that was the sound that foxes made. When they have sex.

Oh, but then, but what's the... I always assumed yiff was an onomatopoeia. Okay. You understand? Okay. I assumed it was kind of like yiff as a sound effect for the sounds of fox mating. Not splorch? Or what have you? I don't know. What kind of junk as a sound effect for the sounds of Fox made it. Not splorch? Or what have you?

I don't know. What kind of junk do foxes have? They got regular junk. It's not animal junk, right? Well, I've seen that they have huge cocks. But it's like that weird bump and then suddenly it's like the lipstick thing, right? It's just like, right? Like Discovery Channel shit.

So I assume from the literature that I've seen they appear to be have like 10 inch like human dicks okay so it's not like that crazy duck shit and massive balls there's no weird like uh evolutionary like horrible shapes and sizes for the mating procedures i'm talking about the literature that i was looking at. Ah, I see. Okay, well, that's a different website. Yeah, it's just playing Twitter. Oh, boy. Oh, no. You hate to see it happen.

As public servants, we're held to a higher standard. Mr. Chamberlain's apparent posts do not meet that standard. The worst part is your opponents now get to act all high and mighty and just be like i'm not a furry yeah but they probably that's your platform they probably have like a sex dungeon your platform of your opponent gets to officially be yiff in hell like what the fuck the platform is what's up with these kids walking around with the fucking raccoon tails out of their backpacks? The fuck's up with that shit? Oh, boy.

I remember walking down the street near my house like three years ago with Matt, and there was a lady walking down the street with a raccoon tail coming out of her fucking backpack. Sure, yeah, yeah. You've seen those. And I look over at Matt and go, what the fuck? What's the deal with that? And he goes, I don't know. Why the fuck do you think I know?

Okay, no, the raccoon tail is different. Is it? Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure. Because the raccoon tail is something that a bunch of friends, like particularly Asian friends in college, would rock hanging from their belts as just a fashion thing. Okay. And it was just a fashion thing for a while. It's not a creepy sex thing. No, no, no, no.

It's not like a fucking little, like, it's not like an anklet that says, I'm down for this. I think it's more like an Ace of Spades tattoo. I don't know what that is. That means you're down for something. Okay. Yeah. Tattoo. Yeah.

Dedication. Dedication to your cause. Okay. Yep. But you can take the fucking thing out of your backpack. No, that's it. The raccoon tail, it's closer to, like that daniel boone hat and all that remember the alamo shit okay yeah i see that are those timelines even close to each other i assume

though i don't know we're canadian man what the fuck do we know anyway the point is we even have good legends i yeah we've got we've got wendigos and Like wait legends you mean like real things No like like because Was Paul Bunyan a real guy Was Johnny Appleseed a real guy Yeah those are American heroes right Um Canadians we've got Wayne Gretzky

Yeah Wayne Gretzky did a hockey real good We got GSP He did a beat down real good And was very Handsome doing it Yeah you know we got some heroes We got GSP. He did a beatdown real good. And was very handsome doing it. Yeah, you know, we got some heroes. The only reason you thought of GSP is because Joe Rogan just sucks his dick all the time. No, that's not why I thought of GSP.

Really? I thought of GSP because he was at DreamHack Montreal this weekend. Oh, he was at DreamHack? And he was there fighting Justin Wong at Street Fighter V. Wait, what? Yeah. GSP's a fighting game player now? No, but he entered to just do a special exhibition thing and they had him walking around dreamhack and he was there that's why i thought of him because he was there yesterday

is he still bald yeah okay yeah hey woolly how's dreamhack dreamhack was really cool um i guess we just move on i just scrolled out my Twitter and see you on a fucking stage. Yeah. You know, I'm not much else to say about Chamberlain here, Councilman Chamberlain. But it is sad that you did not own it. You had an opportunity. You had one shot. You had a little fox pin. Yep.

Yeah. You know, do not miss your chance to YIF. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime. And you lost it. You stepped down when you should have stepped up that's what i say am i wrong you're not wrong damn straight oh man i remember being like i remember being like 15 and being like this furry stuff is weird it's probably gonna go away when i'm older and like no it's only gotten stronger oh boy um it's like that daft punk song yeah oh i should probably clarify that uh gsp is not dsp no it's george st pierre the ufc former uh champion fighter awesome guy from montreal uh or just quebec actually yeah i don't know if he's specifically from the island of Montreal. I know Kevin Owens is from town, but I don't know if GSP is. So now on to our weeks, I suppose.

Yeah, man. Before I went to DreamHack, there's a couple other things going down. I got to sit down and put some time into Absolver. Yeah, I also played a little bit of Absolver. Cool. What do you think of it? I like it, but I enjoy it. It's very similar to the demo I played.

Excuse me. The one thing about it is that it was... I was hoping for more single-player content to be available around the world. It kicks you into multiplayer right quick yeah now i know uh so by the way um matt's um still away in la hanging out with max million but uh yeah absolver is right now it's pretty much what you know it was advertised to be which is a online large uh you know um persistent world roaming fight game yeah and other play you're playing always online with other people and there's um npcs around the map and there's you know enemies to fight and learn moves off of and some of them

have specific styles so that you want to go fight them and like pick up and learn how to counter these moves and such it's basically if you would check out the video look we took at it, one of the most unique mechanics is how you learn moves in that game. It's probably the most interesting thing about it. How do you learn moves in that game? Okay. Because I didn't get that far. So here's the whole deal, right?

If you think about For Honor, right? You have third person. You have multiple directions to guard and to stance in as well, right? So each... Yeah, it's somewhat similar. Yeah. Now, For Honor, the move list doesn't change when you switch stances, but in this game, it does, right?

So switching stances to your guard, or not into your guard, you can just hold your guard button, but switching stances changes your move list according to the four quadrants. So like the character that I picked, for example, when I went to the upper left quadrant, which is never actively selected unless you move to it, like my kick became like a guard break kick, for example, when I went to the upper left quadrant, which is never actively selected unless you move to it. Like, my kick became like a guard break kick, for example. Right. And so you have two buttons from each stance there. Exactly.

And imagine if they took For Honor and... More like Fur Honor. That's terrible. That's a mod or a DLC. It could have been more councilman chamberman it could have been more you're just because you just keep looking i have to close the story i can't i can't leave it up here otherwise it's gonna fucking it's gonna control the podcast um so anyway no the the basic deal is is that uh it is like imagine you walk around this online world right and then you encounter these people and now someone you have a very limited

move list right you have your i don't know let's say 15 moves that your character has yeah uh you can level up and fight and beat dudes up and you'll be able to spec into different stats and such. Very similar to a Souls game. Yeah. Smaller amount of choices. Yeah, smaller amount of choices and less focus overall. But like when I saw the level up screen, I was like, ooh.

Yeah. So imagine if you would that you can do that and then you get stronger and better and faster and you can evade more and such. But you don't actually learn more moves. When someone fights you and they do something you've never seen before, it enters your move list as a question mark. Okay. And it just sits there as like a what the fuck was that, right?

And then the more you fight people that have it and use it against you, a little bar starts to increase. Oh, that's good. Right? That's real good. Now here's the thing about the game when you use your defensive special right so that is either your parry your uh focus attack or your dodge and you successfully completely negate or avoid that specific move yeah the experience bar shoots the fuck up okay right so a couple of because it shows that you actually understand it you've

seen the move you recognize it and you know how to stop it and so it fills up right and so that's the bats how you learn and now you can use this move that's a great goddamn idea if you see the move and you counter it in the middle of the fight and it fills up it'll be ready to be unlocked but if you

die or run away you do not get the move. So everything you learn in a fight is only committed to experience on victory. Contingent on winning. Okay. That's awesome. It's fucking good. That's legit awesome. That's a super cool smart mechanic.

Yeah. And so what we got now is you wandering the world and you come across one of these guardians or one of these bosses and such and the main thing is you can refight a lot of these people in some cases there's like level twos and level threes there's other npcs that are just kind of roaming guys and they have special names and introductions when you fight them they have fully unique styles and move lists okay where you can come in and just learn from them so if you want to be a drunken master, go fight the drunken master guy and get what you can off of him until you get the moves you want.

And then to sort of bring this all together, the component that they have is schools where somebody who's learned a style or has a specific move set that works really well together since you can actually customize your attacks and your strings, you can actually customize your attacks in your strings you can yeah it's a very god hand system all right uh remember me even oh yeah

you're right uh see then you can go and have a lot of people sit in an area and you can go you guys are now clans of my school i'm going to teach you how to do these moves and you walk up to each of them and you spar and you show them the move until they parry or counter or dodge so you fit you actually and you give them the move via training this is so i did not get that far but this is pretty awesome that's the thing right so that shit is so well thought out and really and then other people who will get their really, really good moveset will never teach nobody. Because fuck you, I got my moves.

And then they become that guy in the fucking Ip Man story. One awesome thing about every encounter is that you can definitely sit down and call for 1v1s or group battles and such by sitting down at a bonfire and going, I want to match up with somebody. Matchmake me. And they'll put you into a dedicated pvp environment to fight in an instance but when you see someone in the world just running around yeah you can go and help them and generally the

flow of business has been run into a person getting ambushed even the fight right so someone who's getting 3v1'd you go in and you 2v3 them together. You take them all out. You get the pickups they drop. Then you turn and fight each other. So it's double dragon all the time. But here's the cool thing. You fight each other and whoever loses, when you get downed, you enter that state of like hold the button to respawn or just stay down. And the person who beats you picks you back up.

Oh, that's nice. And you're like, awesome. Is that how the general like... Attitude has been... Attitude has shaken out? I have only encountered one person who has not picked me up. Oh. Right?

So there's one jerk who just ran off. And he thought, what a dick. Yeah. But everyone else has beaten or I've beaten them. And you pick each other back up. and you're like, good stuff. Continue on your way. You know, so be it. And like you might even have seen a move or two off of that guy.

See, I wish I had gotten to see most of that because when I played it, I played it like an hour after it came out. Okay. And when I did that, I had some relatively crippling latency issues because the game was online only. And I was running into that thing where I couldn't connect to the server during a loading screen. So it just hung for 20 minutes. Okay. So when did you play it? I played it last week towards the end of the week.

Like Friday, Saturday? Well, it came out while I was in the Netherlands. Right. So I didn't have a chance at it on day one or two or three. Did you PVP to other people? I PVP'd. How was the latency? I didn't have problems.

Okay. So back in I go. I didn't have problems. And I wasn't even... No, that's not true. I was wired up. Yeah. But no, anyway...

If you... Oh, man. Okay. So I actually... I spoke to Clemce about this because he's an idiot. Uh-huh. And there's people that don't know this. Your wireless internet is not as reliable as a cord.

Yeah, shit. You should plug in your other... Plug your ethernet in. I know it's annoying, but the difference in reliability and speed is astonishing. Yeah. Do it. Do it, do it, do it. There's no excuse.

And if you have a... If you have, like, a router managing software that lets you prioritize the system that you're plugging it into, do that too. That's what Max uses, right? I don't know if Max uses it,

but I definitely have that set up over at home now that I've got a whole Linksys, you know, signal boosters, right now that I've got a whole Linksys signal boosters. So we've got a bunch of things around my place that are doubling the signal strength. But the source signal, you can just go anything wired from here is the priority. Oh, that's not what the... Because I remember Max did a breakdown of this fucking thing he uses. And it it's a you know how in most games you'd be able to like i don't want to

fight people from over a certain distance away or whatever yeah he has a goddamn internet box that does that from like the source settings okay and cuts off connections over a certain thing and with certain amounts of packet loss and stuff like that. And that's how he's able to get decent matches on games with terrible netcode. Yeah, well the problem is if you want to go play Guilty Gear Ex-Arred and you're playing online and you're looking to have a match against

anybody, you're gonna, like half your matches have to be against Japanese players. So that's a situation where... Oh, wonderful. Yeah, you know, you're kind of stuck. I still remember buying... net duma uh is is what uh that thing is called okay from the source level i remember buying anarchy reigns or max anarchy because it was a japanese copy and playing on ps3 and it's like every single game is against all japanese players because i'm the only fucking person that's it there's no way to defeat

that that's just you know you picked the wrong game fucker um but anyway no so the thing with absolver is it's got it's got all that really interesting shit beneath the surface right there and on the surface you just run around and you go i'm just gonna be in a beat-em-up world and you don't really get all of that necessarily right away you do have to actually go read the tutorials a little bit mess around and see what's going on and spend uh more than like a little time with it and the other thing is that those mechanics as awesome as they are and as much as i love them that's really all there is right now oh yeah you know it's quite limited um so the game is built up in a pretty smart way for what appears to be limited resources which is a little bit overworld, a little bit overworld, teach you, teach you, teach you.

It's all tutorializing you for the PvP. Yes, and it's a very clear situation here. It's interesting because I can make a direct comparison to Breath of the Wild. If this were a map like Breath of the Wild, it would have been the perfect game.

Because I would have I know I know I know I know but of course it is it's unrealistic to state but I know why you say it because you get that first vista shot of this giant fucking tower way off in the wilderness when you start the game

and then what happens and then you just teleport to it yes and we had that moment in the video where we went, oh, we got to walk there. Okay, let's get – and then, no, I'm here. And it's like – Right? So that's what it is, is that if you have a large world that's fairly empty, right, with no towns to go visit or nothing but like sort of broken down areas. And what's cool is you can see dedicated sort of like arenas and spots where you're like, oh, this is where a school should be.

Yeah. You know? Like big open spaces. It just sucks that you're kind of like, yeah, but it's very tiny. It's very linear. And like you're not linear, but it's like each of the pathways, like you get to a large open area and then there's like Dark Souls like branch hallway to the next open area. souls like branch hallway to the next open area um and you really would have like wanted to have this large breath of the wild type of you know go out there find some shit and like just walking around the the environment is interesting in itself and whatnot but um because right now it's

it's yeah like just running from area to area it feels as like it's just not as engaging as it could be based on the world design unfortunately um and there's not a lot of other content besides that but the fight mechanics are super fun i hope they add more to that game i hope it's not just this is a weird thing to say but i hope it's not just a fighting game i hope so too and i and i feel that like every time you like you definitely you fight something or someone and like like, you kind of go like, oh, man, like, didn't get anything out of that or whatever. Or you – or, no, no. So I had a moment where I was fighting someone hard and I was like, yeah, this person is, like, not that great or whatever.

And then, like, I evade a couple moves and then it says in this fight, like, Tetsuzanko unlocked. Oh, man. tetsuzanko unlocked oh man but you have to win to get it and suddenly my eyes burn as i'm like i have to win this fight now you need it you need it because you see the stakes of what you can lose you know and uh that shit that moment is really great as well um so yeah man absolvers is So yeah, man, Absolver is absolutely really fun and worth it if you're like me and into this PvP-like. I can see a huge amount of people picking it up and getting into the pvp getting into these mechanics and like learning how to dodge and move and like customize your move list has to be interesting to you if it's not this is not the game for you you know look elsewhere that's all i can say for honor has a story mode and you know these 4v4 modes and stuff that you can kind of like distract yourself

with this is the pure duel and battle world, as we called it. And it's one of those things, it's like, and I mentioned latency earlier, but that was on the dev side, right? But if you're the kind of person who has shit latency, like, overall, a game like this is not for you. Like, almost any multiplayer game online is not for you. Yeah. And that sucks. sucks no it definitely

like this is an interesting situation where like um it would it would benefit from having slightly more casual elements in a way i suppose but beyond that i'm just saying this is the the online multiplayer world version of street fighter 5 hard edge brah don't even get started if you don't fucking come to play money match every battle all day every day um no i actually are you trying to money match me right now i've seen enough money matches this weekend okay i imagine uh i watched ozark i started that out i'll have more to say that's recommend what did you think of it i mean yeah so far first so far, first episode, really good. It looks like Bateman's doing his own version of Breaking Bad.

So I'm a comedy actor doing a serious role about drugs. Serious-ass role. Yeah. Just like Malcolm in the Middle, Dad. There you go. Fucking shit. I can't. Cranston.

Cranston. Mr. I always think he's like cranberry juice, man. Why? Because cran. That's it. That's the entire thought. That basic, huh?

It's that basic. Yeah. Fair enough. It's kind of like how people say John Gordon-Levitt when they say Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Or like, that was the one from last week. Isn't his name actually Joseph Gordon-Levitt when you say Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Or, like, those are the ones from last week. Isn't his name actually Joseph Gordon-Levitt? It's Joseph, exactly. And last week, you guys kept saying the voice actor for Travis Touchdown.

Yeah, it's Robert Atkin-Downs. Robin Atkin-Downs. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So, anyway. Who the fuck am I thinking of? Robert Atkinson.

Maybe you're thinking of Mr. Bean? No. Mate? Ron Atkinson? Is there a goddamn fucking nature documentary guy that I'm thinking of? Is that guy the old guy? David Suzuki? No.

The other guy. David Attenborough? That would be it it but that doesn't mix at all okay i've the ability to run away from my own mispronunciation is is fucking lost so let's just move on okay well anyway that's fine we're moving on and uh yeah dream hack montreal happened it happened this weekend and did you win uh yeah i won oh that's great dude i'm really happy for you finally won a major thank you um it was a really cool event that you know they come around every year this time around

uh the the fighting game side of it was smash uh smash brothers for uh melee and street fighter 5 i wish they had other games because it would help so much with the numbers. Because you have to understand something about the FGC. Wait, only those three games? Only those three fighting games. And two of them are Smash? Yeah. That's pretty limited. Yeah. And other Dreamhacks have had Injustice. Other Dreamhacks have had

Tekken and other games. Why so few games this year? I don't know. But it was the same last year as well. It seems like they're kind of really just dedicated to this limited thing. And it's just so odd because, I mean, even if there's no major prize pool for the other games, having those numbers means – It still brings in attention. It brings in people that focus on that thing but go, yeah, sure, I'll enter the other thing. Why not?

It's right there. You know? And you sort of – Need warm bodies for the slaughter. And you get this – yeah. So it was very weird and how precise and in particular they were with the game choice um and to some degree that affected some of the attendance numbers but uh you know it still is it's a giant land obviously

it's it's got the fucking rocket lead going crazy it's got uh you know uh csgo and all that crazy shit so like you know the mass majority of people are there for their PCs and whatnot. But the Street Fighter section was no slouch because this was a Capcom Premier Tournament event. So with your win, you get

like a seed point for the thing. Yeah, there you go. Absolutely. I might even be able to design a costume. If I do, I'll design a Calali and put a reboot belt on him. Is that allowed? It's already in the game. Really? Kazunoko did it.

It's the best. Kazunoko won the fucking Capcom Cup. He made a Kali costume where he looks like a cool samurai guy and he put a reboot belt on him. I'm dead serious, bro. Man, that's lucky for you. Fucking crazy. Anyway, the point is is that um they made a really cool stage and i don't know if you saw it i did not the grand final stage at

the uh dreamhack montreal was a recreation oh you mean the physical stage yeah i saw that of vegas fucking stage with the with the vegas cage yeah it looks great right with the fence and everything they had the barrels the bud Light thing behind them and whatnot. Like, they had the lighting going. It was awesome. Yeah, no. Me and Paige were looking at our Twitters, and we scrolled down, and we're like, why did Wooly Photoshop himself into fucking Vegas cage?

Yeah. Do you have that photo of you, like, with your arm, like, doing Jesus' butt? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it looks like you've been shopped in because of the lighting it's so cool so it's it's so here's the thing is they've put spotlights on the ground to mimic the lighting of the stage and the actual floor is the texture from the game printed out across the ground it's fucking cool man and i feel as if like you know we've seen a lots of other majors with really cool setups red bull kumite has the nice like octagon feel and stuff but this fucking thing of like

a cosplay wonderland yeah is like we need more of that it's kind it's kind of like not kneecapped but there's a little dent in it when like when i you look closely behind you in that photo is like two guys sitting at a TV. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like... I mean, I was going to wait to go back when it was empty, but I was like, ah, fuck it. No, no, not for your photo, but for the whole set. It's this massive, glamorous, cool thing. Chandelier hanging above, man.

I mean, it's like the Melty Blood guys wandered in. Oh, man, those photos of people trying to find the most ghetto fucking tournament setup in the shower. No, there's BlazBlue set up in the bathroom at the anime suite. But wait, that means, oh, God, where's Melty Blood? And they're just in the shower fucking with the glass door and everything. Anyway. No, no, no. Can we get a tournament inside a real dumpster?

I mean, now that you've asked for it, I guarantee you there's TOs out there working on it. Oh, man. Because, you know, you better believe that at this event, there was, like, anime dudes were hanging out. You look shocked, man. It's crazy. That's just how well lit it was.

Yeah. But there's anime dudes hanging out with their laptops. And like when the tournament was on its downtime, you better fucking believe some Akatsuki Blitzkampf came out. Hey, look. Hey, you guys want to play? And I'm standing there and I was like, hey, I got some Akatsuki Blitzkampf in my bag. Let's play. You want to go out and get back and get blitzed?

Oh, man. And we fucking played some poverty shit on the down low. It was a really cool tournament, though. This is the first time ever that we've had Japanese players come up to Montreal. Oh, really? Yeah. Hey. We've had Americans come before.

Oh, yeah. That's easy. That's been right there. Yep. come before oh yeah that's easy that's been right there yep um but although this time this is the first time we've had uh jay wong and f champ and knuckle do and like just the the you know upper echelons yeah well i mean we know we've definitely like diamondian comes up a lot and nerd josh comes up a lot and those guys well used to but uh no this is the first time we had these guys come in and then we had nemo and uh john takuchi who were super fun to hang out with and uh yeah just all in all you know a good street

fighter weekend what can i say um i'm you know it definitely reinvigorated a little bit of passion to me to like for five to get in there and like start playing. Minot came out in the grand finals. It was pretty hype. I got to do some commentary over some really good matches. Were you playing Minot or was it somebody else in the grand finals? Justin Wong was playing Minot. Okay, so you beat Justin Wong? I beat Justin Wong.

That's crazy. It's unbelievable. That's amazing. I never thought it would happen. Hey, man. Hey. All this time. All this hard work.

Next stop, Daigo. That's it. Or infiltration possible. Well, PG Punk now, really. Hey. All this time. All this hard work. Next stop, Daigo. That's it. Or Infiltration Boss. Well, PG Punk now, really. Really? I don't even know who the fuck that is. That's the guy that got second place. Damn.

Yeah. Wait, I thought you won. Evo. Oh, okay. Yeah. It's cool, man. These names come fast. I stopped.

These names come fast. It's okay. See, I'm used to the era, which was, I want to say 2005, where there was like 10 guys and they never changed because there were no new games. Yeah. It's like, what do I got to remember for each character? Okay. Pyro Lee plays Yun. Okay.

Kuroda plays Q. All right. And that's Kokujin plays Dudley. Jay plays Makoto. And, like, that's all I got to remember. Well, I mean, some other shit went down as well, like infiltration over at the Manila Cup won a tournament with Jury, which was crazy because that's just not been happening. Oh, is she not thought to be up there? She's not what she used to be for sure

anyway i i don't want to get too far in depth on it but uh yeah i've started i picked it back up again and i'm i'm definitely i'm spending some time more time with ed i really feel oh you're switching over to i feel ed right now and do you think i'm not i'm not saying it's a switch because i'm kind of like like i look like i my pick i'm locked locked in to my design right now in the form of Nicali. So let me ask you a question about Ed now that you've messed around with him more. Yeah. Do you think that the way his buttons work, like, helps or hurts him in any specific way? Both.

Okay. So he does have pros and cons on it? Yes. Okay. Okay, so he does have pros and cons on it? Yes. Okay. Pros being with no motion, with no, like, deliberately, of course, with no actual stick input required to do his special move, you can react instantly to anything.

It doesn't have that situation with top players where they can hear the fireball come out. You can get silent button these days. It doesn't matter. Yeah, I know. But, like, with Ed, it's actually impossible. Sure. Or you see the buffer, but it doesn't matter. i know but like with ed it's actually impossible sure or you see the buffer but it doesn't matter like again um the the yeah so you can react instantly just by tapping right but they brought back the piano the old like blanka style like you

got a one two three four five yay and when you piano if you piano incorrectly to do the the proper like like a flicker you might accidentally press two punches at the same time and do a really unsafe sure you can type move ah so you don't want to have that happen i see you know so pluses minuses and so on and so forth um also i just fucking love that his hoodie costume that's great right and i love his should have been his default yeah and his story mode costume as well with the um the the bison outfit but like with the coat over his shoulders is super dope too. So yeah, man, he's just a stylish fuck. I love it.

Anyway, the Scream Lording archives are up on DreamHack Montreal if you want to go see my attempts at it. How do you feel you did as a Scream Lord? So it's interesting because in Season 1 one i definitely had more in-game knowledge and i feel that i was able to commentate a lot better over that season two when i stopped playing as much i didn't keep up to date on like you know like the date the date frame data changes for example right so during a high level matchup you want to be able to commentate and say like oh that button is being used to there uh because it's this safe it's safer it's a frame matchup you want to be able to commentate and say like oh that button is being used to there because it's this safe it's a frame exactly

and you want to exactly and so on and so forth but a lot of those things kind of escaped me so I did you know have to kind of like do a little bit of research and such but it avoided me from kind of being able to do a more technical commentary so I kind of just resorted to play by play oh so did you okay did you vampiro

uh in the sense of like just choking hey man i don't know about that yeah i'm trying to enjoy the match no no i don't think i did that i don't think i did that and i i was paired up with some pretty good people that uh you know we worked well together wow that was a big move it's because here's the big thing because if you're doing play-by-play you want to be paired up with someone that can then do the informative you want you want the hype man and the smart man. And a computer.

Yeah. Like, that's what you need. That's the pairing, you know? So that's kind of what I got. And I really was able to, you know, do what I thought was some decent commentary. I'm sure you did it great. I need more practice at it, of course, you know? Well, you only do it, like, once every...

Once on a blue moon, really really whenever you go to a tournament. Yeah. No, the biggest thing is when the new people tune in and they go like – Why is Skeasonic dye his hair? Slash who is this alt-colored Hellpockets? And usually it's a sort of like – Yeah, you do it more like Hellpockets. Oh, cool.

We got a black guy. Yo, we're going to get some yipes type commentary. And it's like, why does he sound so white? Like that same old stupid tired shit. And it's like, it's because this is how I fucking talk. What do you want? What do you want me to tell you? You know, you want me to pretend?

You want me to do a little fucking dance? That's what people want. I'm not going to do the bit. But the point is, is that like it's that you start to see that pop up and you're like, oh, the stream monsters never change. They're never going to change. It is what it is. Who do you think is going to change last? Yeah.

Stream monsters for fighting games or anyone in the MOBA community? No one wins that bet. We're just going to – I want – I'm out of that. The world to end first but it's you know it's just it's just that exhausting so yeah black is a state of mind it's a way of talking you know that's what that is yeah you know as if i'm not fucking exhausted of that shit already Exhausted of that shit already. DreamHack was fun.

Video games are fun. I enjoy video games. Are you sure? Are you sure you don't actually just hate video games? Oh. Well, when you put it that way. Think about it. Think about it. When you put it that way.

Think about it. Hey, let me ask you. You ever have that moment where you're sitting there and you're having a... You're enjoying the video game and you're drinking in your hand and you do your feet up and everything.

And, you know, you have all the house to yourself and you're drinking. You know, everything's great and you're playing the video game and you're like, boy, I'm fucking wasting my life. Um...

And it just grips you. No... Not... Yeah, me either no never no never had that never had a doubt ever can't say so um yeah anyway i i don't even i'm still i'm still caught up on other shit it's fine um let's uh what else did i do with my week besides scrolling past the screenshot of achievements the from blaze blue that say so white it's hilarious it's a great moment it's super funny you guys all right we'll cut it down we'll cut it down it's fine it's not fine just be happy you're not george hey george hey man we talked behind the scenes it's okay we figured it out but bunny hop um bunny hop's hot takes are going to they're gonna kill him one day they're gonna kill him one day if they don't kill mother's basement first oh man oh i saw that stuff uh i had to i had to put out my my fist in solidarity

with that man because he poked the bear and then controllers would throw i just well anyway we'll we'll see where that goes um but you know i saw lee i saw liam like trying to bridge the gap there between jeff and the melee players oh. It didn't seem to be taking. No, I doubt it would. And same thing for George a little bit, too. And God bless Liam's heart. You know, he tries. He tried.

He really tried. But, yeah, I know. I briefly sat down for, like, two seconds. Not two seconds. We sat down for a little bit at Con Bravo with Jeff when he was starting to talk about the Smash. It's not a fighting game stuff. I was like, are you aware that we made a video again? And he's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I remember that and whatever. And we went back and forth a bit. And it wasn't really going anywhere. No. And I was like, okay, so I know how this is going to go down. Let me walk you through how this is gonna go down publicly explosively in like uh uh fucking uh public public forum style bbs exchanges of videos back and forth yeah when it goes down oh yeah because you're fucking wrong and there's just no other way around it i'm not saying smash isn't a

fighting game i'm just saying it's a fighting game for cry babies and cheaters like i watched sorry melee not i watched my boy kage this weekend get second place with ganon at melee in a grand finals that was so sick full of reads and option selects and just the most amazing tech. Who won? None won. Okay. He's a Captain Falcon player. So good thing one of the five players that always win every single match didn't show up.

That's not... That totally poisoned the entire sport. Well, look, this is a case of Kage being pretty much the best Ganon in the world and showing that off. And everyone loves the uphill battle because they're like, oh, fuck, he's doing it best Ganon in the world. Yeah. And showing that off. And everyone loves the uphill battle because they're like, oh, fuck, he's doing it with Ganon. You know?

It was really exciting. Anyway. Yeah, whatever. That was my week. Move on. That was a weird, like, fucking... You know, the car just kind of rolled to a halt there.

It rolled to, like... Like, the engine blocks, you know, fell off and the wheels hey you want to change the pace you can try good because i started watching will and grace that rhyme oh yeah i caught that yeah i'd never seen it ever so page made you sit and watch some will and grace huh well she didn't make me she asked me and then it turns out you liked it yes it's fucking great cool so now so i did not know this but that show came out way later so i i thought it was like 94 95 it's actually as late as 98 to

2006 which is fucked up because i had an existential moment because when i started watching it the weirdest part about me is that like has Jason Alexander's exact accent. Like that exact New York accent. So it's just like a tall, handsome George Costanza. Okay. And I'm like, wow, everyone looks so old and stupid in those clothes and the way that house is. And I'm like, when is... It's 98.

That's... that house is and i'm like when is it's 98 that's i remember like 98 is fully within the bounds of my memory you were more than just alive then you were a person i was established as a person you were set on your path uh i don't really have much to say about it other than it's fucking fantastic and it's it's the bitchiest show i've ever seen reminds me of archer wow really it reminds me of archer that's great no way it is it archer pushes it no art like in terms of it's still on broadcast television it's still like you know no one's getting addicted to cocaine on will and grace no that's always sunny if you want to watch all you want to see people get now that's a comparison i would know a take but no when i say it's when i say it's it reminds me of archer is that it's its formula is like for every plot sentence or episode pushing

sentence there is a a snap there's a there's a like a little fuck you bitch witty comment right so archer's formula is spy shit insult insult return yeah spy shit insult insult and this feels very similar to mega burn somewhere just in the middle just half of all lines of dialogue are people walking into rooms and just delivering sick birds okay okay like that's that's it yeah all right um and i love that so much i love it so much so you more of a will or more of a grace all right so here's where it gets really sad here's where it gets really upsetting so me and page are watching will and grace right now grace is also a redhead and will is a controlling like ocd everything needs to be perfect like jackass and the more that i watch it the more i start to become upset and upset and upset because i'm watching a sitcom version of myself if i was tall handsome and gay and had a nice new york apartment ah and like so it's the same thing that happened to me when i watched

seinfeld or kirby or enthusiasts it's one of these sitcom characters i am identifying too strongly with very like remember when i watched uh kirby or enthusiasm i don't understand what the problem is larry's always problem is Larry's always right Larry's always right why is everyone getting in his case right right right and it's just like

so whenever like something or the character does something stupid I'm like oh seeing too much will oh it's too much

I can't oh well it's never too late to dream I'm never gonna get tall move to New York I can do the rest but i'm never gonna get tall you can move to new york i can do the rest but i'm never gonna get tall uh yeah no that's great uh i played a shit more of the xcom expansion uh it's fucking fantastic i like it's great it's absolutely great like one of the like

the only thing i have to say really is that I played some of the... So, XCOM 2 had some really weird DLCs that came out. Because they came out like... Because it's Firaxis, right? It's the same people who make Civ. And with Civ, a DLC comes out and it's Australia or Cambodia or... Not China. China's always in the base game.

But you know what I mean, right? Yeah. It's just a Civ. Here, they did something kind of like that where they were really small DLCs and I was like, here's one mission and one gameplay mechanic or here's super bosses that we added to the game.

And I found that they were like, they're terrible. And the new expansion integrates them properly so that like, they're scaled down in appropriateness and certain missions that don't work get taken out but shen's last gift and uh not so much shen but alien rulers dlc is just the worst can you save scum yeah you can save scum like fucking crazy but like the okay so you you were there during the XCOM 2 LP.

You were. You were talking about jetpacks. So here's the problem with the alien ruler's enemy, right? They have 30 health. So that's, like, 10 times as much health as the starting grunt. And the thing that makes them busted and infuriating to fight is they have a rule set called ruler reaction where so you know well you remember the the the flow it's you everybody takes their turn shoots

the aliens the aliens take their turn right once the ruler activates ruler reaction every single action point used by any of your team gives them a turn so shoot shoot at them they take a turn wow they take a turn okay shoot at them twice they take two turns holy shit and then if you do like 30 or more of their health they run away and show up on a different map like they're they're absolutely busted they're no fun and when you do manage to beat them they they unlock completely endgame broken armors and stuff. Sounds like the winning side to me. Let's go Advent. Hey, man.

I used to be Seventh Day Adventist. Oh. Let's get it in there. No. So I turn most of that stuff off And the expansion is just fantastic The only problem that I heard from a friend of mine Who's much further in the game than I am Is once you kill all three chosen

Which are the shadow, Mordor, super bosses they added The game just goes back to Like how it used to Once you've killed them Almost all the new parts of the expansion just disappear Because you fucking killed them And then you go back to more of a base game so people are hoping there's another one that adds stuff to the end game or

elongates it or somehow uh the only other thing oh wait played sonic mania almost nothing to say that game is perfect that game is what i've been wanting for 23 years did you see eggman upside down i did is that i did see again did your brain interpret eggman as i get no but i saw it and went oh i've seen that everywhere this is where that came from like i could like i can force myself to see it kind of thing now which do you see more eggette or captain video games i get yeah i'm not super familiar with captain video games captain video games was an old one but uh god i i mean there's a visual i think if maybe if i just put it in um it was another way of interpreting of seeing uh uh eggman's face as like a weird eggman inside of his like um instead of his his sonic 2 uh boss orb okay it's no it's not gonna work i can't even find it yeah

it's not gonna work and i think it's possibly because i'm remembering the wrong name for it but anyway i'm sure someone will remember and correct, and you'll see it soon. But it was just like a weird face that they drew over Eggman inside of his ship, and it looked like a guy with a big nose and a mustache, and it was super weird. Probably the most impressive thing about Sonic Mania is how it... Captain Vidya, that's it.

Not video games. Captain Vidya. how how it captain vidya that's it not video games captain vidya so it was basically seeing an eggman picture like the whole mech is the face the whole thing becomes the face it's it's a weird one but yeah you have to you see like eggman ship and then it opens up, and Eggman's inside of it. That's stupid! It's super dumb! It's super dumb, but it looks like a man looking up. This is pure visual, and it's terrible for the podcast.

But if you Google CaptainVidya, as in Vidya, as in Vidya Games. You'll see exactly what we're talking about. That's really dumb. Yeah. Yeah. How do you see that? I'm just saying before Agate, there was Captain Vidya. One of the dumbest. Is that in one of those threads that people are like, I always saw, what's his name?

As a kid. What the fuck is the character from Link to the Past? Agamemnon? Yeah. Something the Past? Agamemnon? Yeah. Something? Yeah. Agamem. Agamem?

Where, like, it looks like he's got, like, a weird, goofy, big lip face, but it's actually, like, he's wearing a hat. That's stupid. It's the dumbest. It's so dumb. I love it. That's stupid. It's the dumbest. It's so dumb.

I love it. But probably, I was about to say, probably the best thing about Sonic Mania is how strongly it remixes things. So you'll see a boss and you'll go, that's the final boss from Sonic 1. Or that's that boss from Sonic 2. And you fight them and they have their classic phase. Right? And you fight them and they have their classic phase, right? Which is like more or less accurate to the Genesis. And then their phase two is something wild and completely different.

Like Sigma? Kind of. But it's like, so there was a boss at the end of Sonic 3. Or Sonic 3 and Knuckles rather, that it spun balls around it and you would jump over the balls and hit it in the face. And then once you broke it out of its shell, it would spin blades around it and you'd have to jump and shoot a laser underneath so you had to pick the right time to jump, right? So in Sonic Mania, the same boss, that first phase is exactly there, exact same stage, exact same everything. The same boss, that first phase is exactly there. Exact same stage, exact same everything. And once it breaks out, you see that it's a completely different form underneath.

And that it starts moving the stage around to fuck with your jumps to make it impossible to hit. Okay. It's great. And the final boss, well, the final boss that I got to because I didn't go to all the Emeralds, reminds me a lot of wily because it's a it's a boss that you fight and then it grabs you and throws you into it teleports you into new arenas to fight mini bosses nice yeah okay right right and the goal is to survive instead of beat them because under sonic rules like all that mini boss has to do is get you down to zero rings and then you there's no way you can beat the boss uh it's it's fucking great and the music is ace oh the music's so good of course well i mean that

that much has been like clear for like again you get sonic fans to make a fucking sonic game i i like i come away from the i come away from sonic mania and and sonic mania is also really long it's really really long it's like twice the length of all the other Sonic games. Or more. Well, then again, Shovel Knight is really long compared to Nintendo games. Yeah. So that's somewhat to be expected. Sure.

But what I mean is, I come off of that, and this was made by a very small team of very dedicated Sonic modders. Right? That got official permission. This is like the sonic equivalent of like street fighter times mega man remember that yeah it's you've had across mega man yeah like it's that it's a it's a fan game it is straight up a fan game and it's probably the best classic sonic the hedgehog game and all i can think of when i when i play it is like, why did it take people that don't work at Sega 23 years to make this? Because Sonic Team and bureaucracy and a rotating schedule dedicated to trying to appease new fans.

No, but I mean like people not getting it. Like, you know why. No, I don't. Because I don't understand why they couldn't pull 10 people off a thing that actually. I don't because I don't understand why they couldn't pull 10 people off a thing that actually – Because the hardest – So when I play Generations – The hardest thing in the world is for the people who know why Thing is good. The hardest thing in the world is for them to get word up to the people who make Thing to understand that why Thing is good.

Because like when I play Generations, the people who made Classic Sonic and Generations don't get it. People who have the money that decide let's try to make thing because thing makes money with name they don't understand anything about why thing is good right yeah and then a couple steps down from that is people who are directly involved in creation of assets that go into thing to try and make thing good and they often sort of get it Or slash will have their own personal interpretation. Of what people liked about the thing. But in the end they might miss it. Because they go oh what I liked about it.

Was different from what everyone else liked. So I tried to make thing good. But I couldn't do it. Right. So then you just. And it gets worse and worse as you go down. Because now you're like. Multiple degrees of separation away where

multiple failed attempts go go by and multiple games are going off and they're not quite hitting it but people at the top are like well but is thing good or not good i don't know what is money is money in what is number and then at the bottom you're like it's so obvious it's so obvious why we love the thing how are you everybody knows this but the people making it but nobody getting the higher up you go the less people are listening to people down there yelling about why thing is good so there's no way of that making it back to them especially when the people that again like uh do have the skills move on to make their own shit because they're

like i made cool good thing yeah i knew what i was doing but that shit's behind me i moved on to other shit so no one's left to go oh that's how you make good thing so now is the thing good no no it's not good it's very easy to explain yeah that was very clear it's very very understandable super easy i really hope hey everybody out there if you like sonic games instead of buying sonic forces by sonic mania nothing would make me happier than seeing sonic mania actually beat forces in sales that would be the best that would be the best uh now did did biocom rearmed beat biocom absolutely yeah and why do you think that got a sequel? Yeah, exactly. Rearmed got a sequel and Biocom didn't. And Rearmed deserved it.

Yeah. No. That's always like. Totally understood. And that's what I was going to say. Did Turk Void Zero beat Turk Void? You know, nowadays, right? We fortunately live in a world where, you know what?

If the thing isn't good anymore, that's fine. We can just find another good thing. Yeah. And then people can go, hey, we like that. But I wanted that good thing. You wanted that good thing the way it was back when you liked it. Yes. And that might never happen again for certain franchises.

And I got really lucky because this one it did. Yeah. Like really, really, really lucky. But in many cases, you might as well just write it off. I also got a little personal pride because when I play Sonic Mania and I'm enjoying it, I'm loving it. It's like I get this feeling of like I was right. Like the things that I cared about were actually the things that made Sonic good. Yeah, but it's got no chivos though.

Those plats aren't. There's no plat. Who gets? Oh, no. You've been in the... Have you been in the achievement places again? All I know is I started with Sonic Adventure, and that was the greatest Sonic game ever made. Shame you didn't beat it.

Because I wasn't alive before any other Sonic games. Wait, you're old. And that's why those games are the real Sonic games that need to come out. And the older ones are not as good. Those are dumb old things. Those are dumb old things. And I don't get why people keep making noise about it. You fooled me for a second. I thought you were you.

Also, they got no Chivos. Fuck those games. I can't believe anybody cares about Chivos still. I mean, people that can't help themselves do. Yeah, but I mean... And the real argument would be to... Like, if they could yell at themselves they would but they can't so they're yelling about but like instead as like chivos in my heart died

the instant i saw people figure out how to hack them out and not get banned people were just giving themselves the full thousand points or well it was like i think i think braid made the it created a conversation where there was achievements that were like yeah sure you got them and then those real achievements in the form of the stars that were like really deep and hidden and hard to find and then it made it about like all right well is this about your profile and your number or is it about your sense of completion right because some people are like i i have to have everything you know and those people like you kind of get it in the sense where it's like they want to experience every part of the game and it's a it's a drive for them and

it's how they enjoy the game and so on so that's fine but for the people that it's like no i just need that number bigger yeah it's like yeah well fuck you i still remember fuck your shit one of my favorite achievements. It's probably my favorite achievement. It's a Dead or Alive 4 achievement. So it's ancient. And when you go online and you lose three times in a row, it gives you a zero point achievement that basically calls you a loser. Yes.

And you can't get rid of it. Nope. It's the best. That's a strong one. the uh it's the best that's a strong one um i well you told you i mean we have a lot of people that have you know signed up since uh we've last told the story but back in uh the day we used to know a guy that would choose to play his games based on how fast you could get a thousand achievement points yeah and gonna play that last airbender game that's for sure gotta go play avatar you get him in five minutes five minutes to get a thousand and like straight up there's a website that was all about how quickly you could get achievements in every

game and he would just go down the list and use that to determine what to play next forget video games forget the content forget everything about video games at that point no it really it's just go it's like go to website it's click on survey collect prize yeah it's it's bitcoin farming imagine if your achievements could give you a bitcoin oh boy oh boy oh geez but what about a doge coin what about that what about a burger king coin is that a thing yeah or a whopper coin is that like they're trying to start an encrypted currency over at burger king really yeah that's real that's what so you could trade burgers for drugs is is that the plan i don't think that's the plan but i don't think they have a say because when you create a cryptocurrency people that have

it get to use it on whatever they know no no no this is worth the value this is not allowed the plan is for them to be able to use their cryptocurrency of Whopper coin to buy a Whopper. This is, this is, this, no. But if someone decides that a Whopper coin is worth a pound of heroin. Yeah. Then they will suddenly have a means of purchasing heroin with a Burger King created currency. This is too close to demolition, man. With a Burger King created currency. This is too close to demolition, man. This is too close to having Burger King be like the World Bank or some shit.

I don't like this. I don't like this. Because Burger King owns Tim Hortons. And that means we'll get Timmy coins. Ah, that's not too... I don't like that. That's a possibility. Don't want it.

Don't want it. Sneak King down the Silk Road. That's a possibility. Don't want it. Yeah. Don't want it. Sneak King down the Silk Road. That's good. Yeah. That's solid. Thumbs up for you. Thank you. You know what else is solid?

What's that? The deal you can get over at Casper Mattresses. I was just talking about Casper Mattresses just the other day. Really? Yeah. I was talking to Paige about mattresses. Go on. And she was like, what's a good mattress? And I said, well, Paige about mattresses. Go on. And she was like,

what's a good mattress? And I said, well, Wooly sleeps on that Casper and he seems thrilled. I am more than thrilled. That was pretty much the whole conversation. I'm very thrilled. My back is thrilled more than anything. That's because... Nothing better than waking up and feeling

completely nothing. Yes! That's probably the best way to put it. Nothing better than waking up and feeling completely nothing. Yes. Right? That's probably the best way to put it. Oh, man.

I'd say that's weeks. I actually played a little bit of Destiny 2. Oh, yeah. That didn't sell as good as Destiny 1 No of course not you know why Cause Destiny 1 had problems But it sold alright though Destiny 2 guess what Here's my one sentence review of Destiny 2 This one's good

That's it So cause you know everyone's gonna talk about all the end game grind and all that shit the problem with Destiny 1 is that like actually beating the campaign and playing the game before that which is what I'm gonna assume most people are actually gonna do sucked

this one fun how's the carry over it's hilarious there's nothing carries over nothing it carries over nothing. Really? It carries over your character's appearance and start date. Is it a Shepard type of situation? ME2?

Not even. Less than that? Yeah. Wow. It only carries over... No decisions or weapons. There are no decisions. Weapons.

It's a Halo. No! You get all Metroid-ed the fuck out at the beginning of this game. Of course you do. You carry over your character's face, their start date, and if you beat Destiny 1, I think, you have different dialogue whenever you encounter new enemies. So I watched a friend play it through the beginning tutorial, and he imported a character, and I didn't.

So when I ran into these little monster guys and said, oh that's the Fallen, they love machines. Equivalent, right? When my friend ran into him and was like, that's weird I've never seen a Fallen under that banner before. You know, just slightly different to acknowledge that you actually know what the fuck that is.

Quick question. When did Destiny 1 come out? 2014. Was that 10 years ago? No. So what happened? Destiny. Real simple question here. I don't seem to recall 2014 being 2007.

No, you listen. You listen close. So what the fuck happened? Destiny, I'm doing big air quotes, is a 10-year game. What that actually means is Destiny will get 10 years of IP use. That's what it means. That's stupid. Everything gets more than 10 years of IP use if it's a big seller nowadays.

Here's what I actually think. That makes no sense. That's not what they meant when they said that. No, it's not. And here's in Destiny – but it is because on the one – originally, all that lawsuit between Zampella and those guys and Activision, Destiny 2 or a big expansion. And so what happened was Destiny 1 had problems.

And it didn't just have problems for the end user. It serious systemic problems with like the way they built the levels and stuff like that they ran into a problem where their tools just weren't cutting it and it took too long to make or just or or fuck shit up and it wasn't efficient to keep making stuff so they got rock banded they got they kind of got a rock band so what happened is is that like they put out an expansion and then they like you know they they a game like this comes out and has a whole release plan of like for the next two years we're gonna have this this this expansion yeah the roadmap theirs got completely rewritten like every six months i see and destiny 2 feels like them trying to do a do-over and have a more accurate roadmap going forward but like the implication was that like the implication with destiny 1 before came out is that if the

game ever had sequels it would be like super destiny and that it would include old areas and you'd carry your i'm trying to... Did they say the word franchise when they first said it? Did they say a 10-year franchise or a 10-year game? Because that is a part of the discussion here. But I feel like the sentiment, because we all went,

whoa, when they said that, was that people were like, oh, shit, they're going to be like... I feel like they said neither and they said Destiny's going to last 10 years. And I'm sure it's like it's easy to go, oh, that's absurd. Why would they say not a 10-year franchise but a 10-year game? No one can expect a game

to last 10 years. I'm saying you're not War of Warcraft. Or EVE Online. Like, we've seen that shit happen, you know? It's not like there haven't been games that just fucking sit and last. So if they said game and not franchise, then I would assume they meant game. Singular.

I don't know. Maybe that's just me. Oh, okay. I think the actual thing is we have a 10-year plan for Destiny is the original quote. Oh, boy. That's super vague. All right. You get plausible deniability on every part of that.

And then when the expansion came out and people were like, what the fuck? Yeah. They were like, no, man? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were like, no, man. No, no, no. You get plausible deniability on that because then you just said the word destiny. So I guess that means... Destiny is destiny. Destiny is destiny.

I'm playing through the campaign. It's a lot of fun. I don't know if you remember me talking about Destiny 1 when I was playing through the campaign. And I quit because it was no fun at all um i stopped after like maybe two hours yeah did you even get off the off the earth did i yeah see i did i did i did i got off the earth you went to the moon yeah and i and i i did some missions and i got a thing and i was like oh man i love it when it goes third person. I wish I would do that all the time.

Oh, you can do that much more often now. Because swords, which used to be like a story thing, now it's just a weapon type. And that means Reinhardt? No. They're power weapons. But it does back you up to third person and every slash takes ammo. But it plays more like an overwatch melee character uh but yeah as opposed to last time this time i'm having fun just playing through

the campaign and earning abilities and shooting guys that's a good it's amazing what just a little bit of context and a little bit of actual level design can do to free your game hey look there's a story piece hey look this is a level it's not just a zone that you want Hey, look, there's a story piece. Hey, look, this is a level. It's not just a zone that you got dumped into. It's a level. I remember wandering into an area where like dialogue like plot dialogue started and I was

like, you didn't establish what this was about or why this person is important, but okay. Oh, I'm not supposed to be fighting you right now. Yeah. I walked too far. I should have backed up. Was it underground?

It was inside of a, yeah, like a... I know that spot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's the fuck you get out of here spot. Yeah, and I went and I actually decided to fight the horde or whatever. And it's supposed to tell you like, look, man, there's all sorts of hidden crannies all over the... And it's like... And then I made it to a boss that I was not supposed to be able to fight clearly and then i just peekabooed

behind a pillar yeah for like a long time that's a great experience and then killed him and i was like okay you were some one of my favorite things something i don't know if it was from a mission i don't know in the first game is that like i got i walked into an area like i explored and oh look what's over here and a guy shot me and one me, and it told me the recommended level to fight that. And I was like, I'm 100 below that. Yeah, okay. That's low. Okay.

I don't know about its end game or its longevity, but it's fun to play this time at least. Cool. And that's my week. Heavy. Yeah, all right. No, that's fine. That's fine. All right. So meanwhile, in the news, that's fine. That's fine. Alright, so

meanwhile, in the news... There it is. No? Nothing? Oh, don't you start with those. I do those. I do them. This is the only... This is the only way I can get

Paige to go in the right direction Is that what that is? That's what that is Her direction is terrible It's awful So we're playing Dark Souls right? So she does the thing that Matt does and you do All of you fucking do it

Where you just walk into a room and you spin in a circle And you try to leave Through the door that you were going to go through That you came in You know what stops that? that you were going to go through that you came in? You know what stops that? Oh, you were going to make the wrong turn? That's surprisingly effective. It's so effective.

It's also very annoying. I understand. I overstand. Alright, so let's look at the news this week. I overstand. All right. So let's look at the news this week. Can I just get some applause? Some applause. It's so funny.

It's so good. It's South Park, the fractured but whole character creator it's very simple you go through this it's the sequel to the stick of truth the character creator uh as you go through it takes you through your eyewear clothes hands makeup facial hair and so on and so forth and you design yourself your own south park character i'm a superhero right and i mean at the end of the day it's like this has been clearly it's a gag that we've been using like in real life for a while it's pretty old yeah but it's never been used in an official capacity at the forefront that's why i i'm still enjoying this because as much as it's like yeah we've we we know we've made this joke before It's never been like in a place where millions of people are going to see it.

So you go through the whole game and you design the whole character creator and design your look and such and so forth. And after you get through all of those cosmetic options and put on your clothes, your hair, you get to the difficulty setting. your hair you get to the difficulty setting and when you hit the difficulty setting it's there's an easy slider and then there's a very difficult slider and as you go over to very difficult the color of your skin changes from caucasian to black with medium difficulty being a slight olive a slight olive in between yay perhaps, perhaps a Mediterranean sort of shade. Does this actually change anything? Cartman says, no, don't worry. It doesn't change the fighting or the combat.

Just absolutely everything else about your life. Oh, I love it it's so good i am so excited i am so excited for the game facts question thing of how do i play on hard mode with a different skin color like i don't want to play like because because they're because they're intrinsic you can't make a character well you can't play a character that looks like you that's not on very difficult i can't play a character looks like me that's not uneasy no no it is it is baked in there and you know uh that i mean i should get like super easy i'm see-through that that that easy mode doesn't have a shade for me i mean it's again it's just it's hilarious because it's like something that you that exists that you don't really know you don't have to think about because you know you're not black is the part where uh the average video game you don't that you pop in doesn't have a character

that you can really self-insert to or relate or you know what i mean and that's why i was so upset when grand theft auto san andreas came out oh man what a what an effect that had that was fun that was such an interesting social experiment. Because, you know what I mean? Like, you just kind of get used to being, well, you know what it is? We've talked about this before, but it's so interesting to me. Because you never actually, or rather, I never actually realized, playing video games, that the character I'm playing as was really supposed to be a receptacle for me to self-insert into outside of the basic like chrono ellipsis or squall,

you know what I mean, type of character where you're like, he doesn't say anything because he's supposed to be you or whatever. I get that part of it. I always understood that part. But I never actually understood the part where it was like no, no. The guy's supposed to kind of look like you too so that you feel like you're Nathan Drake having these adventures.

So like it's obvious like it's obviously not as extreme because like I'm a white guy. But like the fact that I'm a ginger gremlin also had a little bit of that of like like, I'm not tall or well-proportioned. Right.

Or have brown hair like everybody else. Where you would have that feeling, I had nothing. I had a blank slot that was like, oh, that's supposed to be a thing? Yeah. I had no idea. Oh, totally. You know? And then it was like, oh oh and then you find out it's

like no and then even movies and media and stuff a lot of that is will smith it's about relatability you know and you just you didn't you didn't know that you were just kind of like oh i thought it was just because that's what people wanted to look at yeah and then uh you know, you get the moments of, like, I guess clarity where people are. San Andreas comes out. Yeah. Forced to be not what they are. And then people who have been pouring themselves into the cup that is the character don't have that feeling. And it's suddenly weird and uncomfortable.

And then they're upset. And I'm like, what are they upset about? This is normal. Everybody. Nobody plays a character that looks like them what do you mean oh and then the whole problem creates itself immediately and you go oh no then you feel it and it hurts you feel the weight on your chest so when a bionic commando comes out and i like swinging and they go we gave the guy dreadlocks and you're like hey i like dreadlocks there you go that's pretty cool and everyone's like fuck that get this shit out of here here's here's the one time that me and you were actually opposed because i'm like that's one of the only redheads ever ever and he has shocking

bright red hair he does yeah yeah and that got taken away from me and given to you with the fucking dreadlock but we both but we both ended up getting it so it's yeah he ended up being ginger and redheaded at the same time well when he's got the dreads he doesn't have red hair right it's it's more like a light brown yes and when he's that happens yeah like my hair is turning brown over time yeah well i mean well fuck i know like people that have brown hair and like red facial hair right that's a regular oh i'm gonna end up with black hair and and this this red hair that's my my dad had black my dad before he all went gray because now he's an old man. He had black, brown, red, white, gray, red hair in his mustache. His mustache was a fucking rainbow.

Okay. Anyway, it ends up being super interesting because, yeah, CJ ends up being this thing that like people get super upset about and then go, oh, no, wait. I always secretly wanted to be this and if this is the greatest feeling ever oh man i get to i get to feel like a cool guy yeah hanging out with my cool dudes in the hood oh yeah that's the life i see and then that's when it awakened i wanted it safely through the lens of my TV screen. Safe. Behind the zoo, you know? Not deep.

Oh, man. Where you can just admire it from a distance, but then turn it off and go back to your normal life. Oh, back to real life. Oh. Oh. That was getting a little too real there. You turn the corner and it's like, is that big smoke? Oh, that was getting a little too real there. He turned the corner. He's like, is that Big Smoke?

Oh, no. Because he's a villain. You see? Because he's a villain. Oh, man. Yep. Yep. So that was an awakening.

This is hilarious. The South Park thing is hilarious now. It's only going to get funnier over time. Oh, for sure. Especially when you go past this and a little bit later into the game, you sit down with Principal Mackie. Yeah, yeah. We have that conversation. And Principal Mackie's like, so are you a boy or a girl?

And then you choose. Yeah, you choose your options. Choose your option. I'm like male, female, transgender. And then for each one, it's like he goes, oh, really? Because in the last game, we totally thought. Yeah, because in the first game, you only got to be a boy. Exactly.

He's like, oh, geez. And then he calls your parents. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's like, all right. No, totally cool. Just making sure. All right. No, no.

Yes. It was a girl the whole time. Yeah. Good. Just making sure. And it just retcons the first game entirely because you weren't able to express who you were.

Fucking genius, man. Oh, that's hilarious. I love that. I love that so much. South Park's been on the air for how many years? Oh, God. Like, since we were kids.

Forever, yeah. And it's still funny. Yeah. Well, again, it goes through that circle, that cycle of stupid diction shit jokes. It's hilarious at first. Then you just get tired of it goes through that circle, right? That cycle of stupid diction shit jokes. It's hilarious at first.

Then you just get tired of it because you're like, I expect more sophistication from my humor. Yeah. And then you come back to it later on going, oh, that shit's great. And then they go, by the way, we also have scathing, venomous commentary about the state of affairs on the planet. Everything. And then you go, oh, man, that's a hot take. And then Cartman pulls something out of your ass. You go, it really makes you think.

Mm-hmm. You know? Bunny Hop, that's a hot take right there. You want to pay attention to those. We're making fun of Bunny Hop for being bad at games? Hey, man. Is that what we're doing? Oh, I feel bad for him because he's getting all that shit.

No, we're making fun of him for being good at journalism. Oh, man. So when he was like, oh, you don't have to be good at games to be a good games journalist. Reporter. A reporter. I'm like, are you making a distinction between reviewing products and reporting news? He's like, yeah, absolutely. And I go, great.

I think everybody actually agrees with you. And that gives you a good excuse to be shit at Ferrari. That's good stuff. Oh, man. Yeah, so... See, he's got a built-in Johns for everything. Built-in. Oh, I love you, George.

John Armour. John Armour? So Master Chief? oh i love you george and john armor um john armor so master chief speaking of armor um that's pretty cool i mean i just like knowing that this is this is out there but neo's final dlc bloodshed's end is coming out this month which means when you eventually do make your way back to neo you have a complete ass package waiting for you there are a lot of dlcs that came out with neo and they're all substantial it's really awesome that they've supported this game as much as they have and uh one of the main things with uh bloodshed's end is that it adds with the equivalent of bloody palace to the game that's all right so shout shout outs to Team Ninja.

You guys are doing it. They continue to show their trend of supporting the fuck out of the game. I want to love Nioh. I don't think I like it very much. But I keep wanting to go back to it because the way they've treated this game is amazing. like the way they've treated this game is amazing like they've added like this this like there was a season pass out yeah and a lot of season passes aren't worth bullshit this one has delivered a ton of shit over and over and over they added new weapons yeah they added a new character i feel like it i feel like it's been a once a month drop perhaps it's been a little less frequently than that probably a little bit before but it's like almost a huge new neo

thing is coming out this one has new weapons this one has a new character this one has like 35 convenience features that you can't believe they're actually gonna put in they added co-op for fuck's sake yeah yeah no um that's a mode you see in a sequel this feels like if you bought the season pass you really got your fucking money's worth out of it for once you know oh i know neo fans are insufferable they're the worst they're they and they have good reason to think neo is the best game forever because they've been treated well they've been treated really well. Fucking good job, Team Ninja.

This makes me jealous. Well, because Ninja Gaiden, Sigma, and Black and all those things that came out afterwards, those were all boxed. Boxed titles that you had to go purchase, exactly. But it makes me jealous because, like, remember fucking the Ice DLC? I don't even remember the fucking Ashes of Ariandel.

That was really disappointing. And Ring City was much better, but it's like, can we get support like that? Yeah, but... The support that Team Ninja got was heavily, heavily... Sorry, the support that Team Ninja delivered was heavily heavily based on feedback they took a lot of feedback well even before the game fucking yeah even before the game came out massive surveys things work how they feel how you upgrade and that option screen is still the most extensive console options to date you want to hear about a convenience feature that got added to neo

that'll blow your mind go they added a feature that you can select level and gear rarity to auto junk when you pick it up wow so so everything below a green or everything below a certain thing will just that auto job king rad i love that like i heard that and almost dived right the fuck back in. Seriously. Because that solves my biggest problem in that game. You think FromSoft took feedback like that? It has been long-standing. Marcus, a.k.a. BigNameBro, has gone at length on record. He's had dinner with Miyazaki. At length on record.

He's had dinner with Miyazaki. And it is really, really clear that the From Software guys don't look at or get any community stuff put at them ever. Marcus sat down and had a dinner with Miyazaki like two years ago. And showed him off all this bullshit from Demon's Souls. And Miyazaki was like, wow! I've never seen that! Like, how are you supposed to balance your game when you don't even know what exploits are? Like, it makes me jealous.

And at the same time, I kind of appreciate... I kind of get it. ...that the From Software games are an island. Yeah. No, I kind of get it. I really do feel that there's something to be said about the whole like no we don't we don't we just do our thing you know what i mean but at the same time like there are there are like look at look at the look let's take healing as an example right every single souls game or souls like game like bloodborne has a different healing system right they all

have pros and cons and some were made as explicit solutions to problems in prior games right yep but they flip-flop problems that were solved last time are back this time like blood and bloodborne and having to go farm vials right like estes you never have to farm for it you never have to you can't yes yeah but problems that got solved in the last games are reintroduced in the new one and there's lots of stuff like that the weapon scaling the the way the way online works and some like it's because they like nobody goes to them and tells them this is this is the one that people want this version of this is the one that that people love but the thing that like even like something like

that is a major gameplay decision right um that you know they might or might not want to listen to feedback on yeah but something like picking up dupes or picking up shitty rare uh non-rare items gets auto junk is just again it's just quality of life yeah it just makes the game better and dark souls and demon souls and bloodborne do not pay attention to quality of life at all ever and like there's no downside to having quality of life there is a quality of life change that i've wanted in every single souls game and i genuinely think at this point i'm never ever ever going to get it and it is if you equip multiple weapons it only counts the weight for the thing that you have in your hand.

Sure. Sure. Because I don't... Dark Souls 3 has three weapon slots, right? That ostensibly makes me think that I should be equipping multiple weapons for different situations, right? But all of the weight

all counts simultaneously. So if I actually equip all three weapons, I'm going to move like a slow ass piece of shit or wouldn't it be nice to actually be able to switch between a heavy and a thing or just like the complexity of like cycling through options when you have a message and a lever in front of you and and a summon sign in front of you you know basic shit that other games don't struggle with that any activatable object you can't put down messages or you know or just like different buttons like it's just or like the way you have to put a message down it's like like there's just so much stuff that are just like

this is not the most so it's not the easiest way of doing this there's there's one that i think of from final fantasy 15 that i hope they change for the pc version that that is like a good microcosm of all the complaints we'd have about quality of life in Dark Souls. Why is jump and pick up an item the same button? Right. Yeah, of course. It's astonishing. Of course. It's mind-blowing.

Like either... If you want jump as a mechanic that you need people to rely on to make these daring maneuvers, then you have to make it a fucking button that can be used and that's not fucking all three. Why isn't square,

which is attack, right? Isn't it? Whatever. But square, circle, triangle, any of those. Shoulder buttons are attack. Yeah. Oh, we played on different control schemes for sure. What are you talking about? I played on like.

Sorry, are you talking about Neo? No, I'm talking about. Souls? I'm talking about 15. FF15? Yeah. Sorry, I thought you were still talking about Souls. I was talking about 15 ff15 yeah sorry i thought you're still talking about souls i was like squares attack what the fuck how are you getting that wrong okay it's 15 yes yes yes default yeah sure or circle rather whatever the fuck anyway um the the yeah there's lots of things like that that i think could have been it's like you could the game could

just be better uh um yeah and like you know And they do balance passes on the game. They'll do like 1.0 whatever. And a lot of the time what I see from guys in the PvP community is they're like these changes are random. Like they don't seem to follow rhyme or reason as to why something was buffed or nerfed. It's goofy there's there's pluses and minuses to like super transparency with your development cycles um like rising thunders patch notes and such yeah oh they're so good but like with that transparency you know kind of i guess comes like the lost of some like mystique in a weird way oh of course you know but uh yeah i i it's just it's i think neo the point is neo you did good yeah good job there are there there are

things in the souls games that are surfaced to you that are lies like certain scaling numbers or certain scaling letters that are just straight up lies. Because there's a good B and a bad B for scaling, right? Like not B plus or B minus. Just do that one. That one's a good B. Red B or blue B. No, just, yeah, red B or blue B.

Red B or blue B. Like why? And you're like, but they're both B. You can make it say B plus and B minus. How would they both be? But it's blue and it's red. What the fuck are we doing here? Thumbs up to Neo.

You guys are doing it. That's a bad one. Oh, man. Anyway. Ubisoft is doing it, and they're doing it with the guys that made, they are....the guys that made... Oh, I thought this was going to be a different news story. Ubisoft is doing it with the guys that made Grow Home.

This is a weird little one, but check it out, right? Atom Mega. Atom Mega. Is a FPS... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm watching this trailer, and I'm getting confused. But it's an FPS where you catamari your body into being a larger creature to attack and survive more and be more powerful with so you start as a single like uh 3d pixel yeah and then you pick up mass up into like a little frog as you like

absorb other pixels like a primate and then like a big monster. And then you see giant robot type like ogre dudes. And then you see like dinosaurs and then a super form and you're flying. It's an FPS. You're just shooting other players. But you're picking up and growing forms dynamically. And like as you get broken down and destroyed, you get reverted back to a single pixel. So multiplayer Knack is what's happening. I was about to say like somebody wants in on multiplayer Knack is what's happening. I was about to say,

like somebody wants in on the Knack game. Knack 2, too strong. Yeah. So the 3D Pixels or Voxels, as they're called. I thought this was going to be about Yves Guillermo buying up Ubisoft shares. Oh, wait, what?

That happened? Oh, that's cool. Okay, hold on. I didn't know about that atomega looking cool good job i love grow home grow home is a cool game grow up is another cool game yeah these guys make good games um what the fuck really yermo bought two million shares of wow so he just solved that fucking problem for good i think he bought 1.5 of the company or something like that holy shit i don't know if that actually solved the problem i think he bought 1.5 of the company or something like that holy shit i don't

know if that actually solved the problem i think it's on i think it might still be ongoing but i did see that he bought it and that would put us i mean he's probably a pretty rich guy but even to a pretty rich guy buying millions of shares of a company like that has got to be fucking nuts right i think was his the family group and you know that kind of yeah yeah yeah of course his his like yeah exactly his concern because his garcia concern the gear mo because to those of you don't know vivendi universal oh oh oh my god woolly i'm looking for the news and i'm getting added um to those of you don't know vivendi universal which is the former owner of activision blizzard uh is trying to buy ubisoft or ubisoft there is an attempt at a

hostile takeover it's it's been going on for years it has been extremely blatant and hostile they have been buying it the fuck up okay so the last we heard once again they're making moves for the hostile takeover yeah and ubi hates that shit and they want nothing to do with it now i want to i want to take a little aside right before we go into it vivendi universal is the former owner of activision blizzard because activision bl Blizzard hated being under Vivendi Universal's thumb so much that they bought their companies back. Yes. That's how shit it is to have somebody from Vivendi

be your boss. But Vivendi wants it back and they want that money. They want money. And they've been slowly trying to buy up shares from shareholders that basically could get them over that 51 yeah so now uh so the story here that you're telling me is uh ceo eve guillermo actually went and did it himself

yeah okay okay hold on i need to summarize this because this isn't the interview we're looking at with him here. But what's the deal? I'm reading this. Okay. Vivendi slowly buying shares. They had a 27% stake. And where does it say how much his stake is? No, he's talking about his games.

He's talking about his games. Okay. Where did you catch this story? I saw it on on gaff i didn't actually grab the article i should have now all right we're doing this live what's the what is it uh research will save the facts will destroy fact-checking we'll run this podcast there you go we're we're fact-checking oh i tried to go to bloomberg for business stuff and it fucking broke okay we're going in hot we're going in live yeah i'm only seeing ubisoft there we go sagina invests in quebec here we go yeah ah it's a french article that's why okay uh there's all everyone's talking about the sagina office yeah that's all... Everyone's talking about the Saginaw office.

Yeah. That's all we really see. Here he is talking about the potential Vivendi takeover. But I'm not seeing it. So I'm going to leave this up to you, Pat. Okay. So I am finding it on a French website called numerama.com in their business section. Numerama. Is that

like N-E-W? N-U-M Numerama. Okay. Yeah, that'd be it. Alright. Doing it live. Doing it fucking live. Whatever, man. I'll send you the fucking thing. It was from the 5th of september

2017 oh boy uh this is terrible you want to just read that shit out so we can get on with it in french i'll read it out in french we'll translate your fucking your your name's boy van and pass the bar 60 million euros but what is this about? Fucking Dailymotion. Shoutouts to Mothman for making really good art. I think I might have got... Wait, what? The Gold Smoke Knight is super cool. Okay, I'm giving up.

All right. I gave up. Awesome. I may have brought on a not real thing. Thank you. Perfect. Shall we just pretend it didn't happen? Let's just pretend it didn't happen.

Nope. Not going gonna do it What's an Ubisoft? Hey, Adam Ega looks cool Lots of Capcom announcements coming out Let's see it Lots of Switch announcements coming out Let's see that

Hey, games on Switch, I like that Because I like my Switch Good Coming to Switch Resi Rev 2 in particular is a perfect game for the Switch. Seems like they're trying to get some Steam going.

No, those are out on Steam. So... Fuck it. Yeah, coming on the 28th of November. So luckily, this is another Capcom test. No, probably now is your are you going to be able to like fucking dual joy-con it and like split screen or something or i don't

know about that that's not gonna work you're very very likely gonna be able to use two controllers like two proper controllers and play split screen but what's more exciting to me is if you have two switches but what i'm thinking about is if you have oh no wait it's not a wii u never mind what's not a wii i was like. What's not a Wii U? I was like, imagine if one person was playing on the Wii U game controller and the other person was playing on the Wii U. No, it's not a Wii U. It's not a Wii U. You can't even do that.

I recently forgot that the Wii U existed. Okay. Somebody asked me, hey, man. That's weird. What do you think of Bayonetta port coming to the Switch? And I said out loud, Bayonetta is already out on the switch. That's what, that's what the big thing was.

The Bayonetta 2 was coming to the switch. Like I straight, the Wii U has been erased from my mind. Well, good riddance. Um, Resi Rev 2, Resi Rev 1 are coming.

And they're, uh, alongside that was the announcement of Resi 7 Gold. I like calling it Resi, like a proper Brit. Which includes all the DLC and band footage and the upcoming DLC, End of Zoe. So there's more shit coming out. So I should point out, I personally didn't remember End of Zoe, but maybe that's new, but I don't remember. Not a Hero was supposed to come out, like, in May.

It's the DLC that has you play as Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 7. What happened? Don't know. Right before it came out, they were like, no, we're going to push it back. And now it's being pushed back to December 14th. Okay. So I don't know what the fuck is going on with that me and matt were planning to be like oh when that comes out in a month or two just bam do the do the dlc for re7 right and then nothing then nothing and now this and now this it's like announcing the gold edition before that stuff's out seems a little. Sounds like the Gold Edition was supposed to be announced now no matter what.

Right. And to stay on track, it still is. But there's going to be more to it. Hey, everybody! Oh, no. Revealed everything. Just keep the trailers coming out at the same speed! Well, the problem is that if your Gold Edition is supposed to basically be Game of the Year, which I hate. I hate that

that's the terminology. Why? For it. Because it's not the game of the year it just means they want to get a lot of game of the year awards that's bullshit it's really just the game of it's the game with all the dlc included would you be happy if it has like a game spots game of the year edition no can we just say like the complete edition no or the full package no or game plus dlc no wait what if it's your game of the year then do you do you mind if it's your personal game of the year yeah insert your name here yeah right write it on and then you can look at it and feel good you know what makes me laugh super hard

remember recore came out with the definitive edition did it yeah it did definitive edition definitive edition is what you call your game when it didn't actually win any of the game i guess so i guess that's what that means but it's just even it but like if i'm not mistaken didn't people start using game of the year edition for games that did not win yes here anyways because people will say say borderlands will come out it's like i'll just wait for the game of the year edition because they're saying i'm waiting for all the the the full complete package okay all right ubisoft founder buys another 1.75 percent of the company oh where'd you find this uh it just popped up oh cool so yeah yay it's not

51 but yeah they're getting there uh cool um so then he sucks no one likes him um so there's a lot of footage that came out for biomutant yeah i think it's probably too early to be showing did you take a look yeah yeah 25 Yeah, 25 minutes, in fact. And you definitely are playing as Guts the Raccoon. As a bio-mutant. Like, let's not pretend you're not. However, it seems to just be sort of a beat-em-up with a gun. I genuinely believe it was a little too early for this game to be shown.

Well, it's interesting because in the 25 minutes, you kind of end up seeing some very samey samey combat um which you know i mean to be fair like it's an action game that's fine uh i was expecting more i guess of the biomutant mechanic to shine uh in this initial look at the game you wanted some more biomutancy i wanted some more like weird evolutions and changes to your character like i'm a saint guy changes to your combat and changes to your shit like i don't know a little bit of spore i guess is kind of what i thought we'd be getting yeah not that it's the right genre for it but it's still just um not what i expected i feel unfortunate for this game because it can't possibly live up to like that first picture with just the title

uh-huh uh-huh because that that game in our head yeah just always gonna be better too strong yeah but what we do get here is some pretty decent looking combat and uh some pretty decent like gunplay there's also a narrator and the main point of this article is about how the narrator is um persistent not quite in a Bastion-type way, but he's constantly there, kind of telling you the story, as it were, but you can sort of choose how much of him you want to hear or not hear.

And there's a system that sort of automatically scales it in a way where the longer you play, the less you hear him in a given session. Oh, okay. So basically, there's tons of options in place to not get annoyed with this guy talking over your adventure. See, I really like that. One of the things that... One of the very first mods that people make for those Fallout games, or the newer ones,

is depending on the game, depending on what kind of quests they have, often there's not a quest that does not have an objective, right? So I remember for Skyrim they added one which was just like wander Skyrim or whatever, and it's an objective that doesn't give you a point on your map because you just want to be left alone. You don't want the constant cursor on the horizon. That's pretty good. And this sounds like the narrative equivalent of that.

I'm just like, no, no, no, i just leave me alone i just want to play quiet well the key here is that they can't you can't turn him off and the reason why you can't turn him off is because it's important to the story it's important to the lore and he's a character in the game sure right so there's like you know important lore reasons why you cannot get rid of the narrator. But in order to not be bothered by that, they definitely go over the top with like letting you not get annoyed by him. Which is – yeah, that's pretty dope. Hopefully it shapes up and comes out good. Yeah. It's definitely got a lot of interesting things going on for it.

It would be a shame for it to just come out half-baked or whatever. Yeah, that's exactly it. It'd be a shame for it to just come out half-baked or whatever, you know? Yeah, that's exactly it, and I just, I guess I'm hoping to see a lot more unique mechanics with the brunt of the gameplay, which is, you know, these large arena combat things. You're also like, since you're playing as a little creature, you know, the camera really zooms out way further than I expected,

and it really emphasizes how tiny you are compared to everything else. Even the smaller enemies are still at least a couple inches taller than you yeah it really is like you know and there's something about that kind of camera too that um what it makes me think of like i guess the game like stories a little bit where you're playing as that little like fox mouse guy um did you i don't know if you saw that but liam and i took a look at that a while ago i'm not it reminds me stuff like that it reminds me of you know like action games that are like a little less committed to um their in-depth combat i suppose but anyway i'm hoping hoping for more biomutant i just could it have just stayed unannounced forever?

Could it have stayed in not English? That would have been fantastic. Oh, man. With that crazy-ass subtitle. I wish. What else we got? What else we got? I just saw something.

Reggie's being a massive liar. There's a Nintendo Direct coming up. What's going on with Reggie? Reggie has a quote out. Don't pay more than 8080 for a Super Nintendo Classic. Supply won't be an issue. He said that. This is a direct quote.

You know what? I would strongly urge you not to overbid on a SNES Classic on any of the auction sites. You shouldn't have to pay more than $79.99. Supply will not be an issue, he says. He added that for the SNES.99 supply will not be an issue he added that for the snes classic supply is not the issue is not the issue or will not be an issue so this is very different statement yes yeah so because if he says will not be an issue i'm going to choose foolishly to believe and see where that gets me

Foolishly to believe and see where that gets me. Strongly urge you not to bid. Not going to go buy one of those $300 fucking EB Games packages where I get a fucking plush. Supply is not the issue. Don't overbid. Supply is not the issue. Yeah. Okay.

That's no. That's the lies. That's the big hard lies. off wow right supply is not the issue it's demand there's too much demand like don't play more don't pay more than 80 bucks unless it includes a sweet ass zelda uh case for your switch. It costs $400. And these Amiibos. Huh? Did you know you could use Amiibos to shove up your ass? $300. Buy the bundle.

SNES Switch Case Amiibo Bundle. It's the only way you're going to get it. It's the only way you're going to get it. Buy it now. Don't use the auction sites. Buy it now. Fuck you. Buy it now.

Are you going to try? Supply's not the issue. Are you going to try? Get a SNES Classic? What is the issue? What is the issue? How about that? Supply is not. It's not supply. It's not supply. Is it demand? It's probably demand. He must be implying that demand is the issue. It's your fault.

Basic economics dictates that if it's not one it's the other it's shipping channels can't get enough of them out there could it be the Mexican drug cartels are the issue

standing behind fucking Reggie finger on the button oh my god is it that hard guys is it really that hard turns out people want to have a small Super Nintendo with an HDMI output. I don't know. Make more or have all pre-orders

be filled eventually or there's a million fucking things you could do. Supply's not the issue. You are, says Reggie. It's you. Stop buying it and there'll be more for other people. Duh, idiot. Oh man.

I was going to talk about how be more for other people. Duh, idiot. Oh, man. I was going to talk about how there is the rumor of not the Switch, but the possible Platinum 2 pack that is Bayonetta and Vanquish.

Continuing their trend of after Steam, after this, this after that what's better how do we get this in more hands we release it on current consoles with both together bayonetta and vanquish is a two-pack is a hell of a deal platinum is porting their games for money that's the news platinum never loses its luster it doesn't you know it does though what's that what loses its luster um drugs yeah on that on your body um love what do you want from me um how about the world of Middle-earth? Does that lose its luster?

I don't think it was very lustrous to begin with. I can quote you a couple hundreds of pages describing the luster of the world of Middle-earth. Is this about that dumb thing they said? Let's talk about Shelob. It's that dumb thing they said uh let's talk about she love it's that dumb thing that oh boy all right so monolith about she lob in um shadows of war mordor uh what's what's the fucking is it shadow of war shadow of war um what's the other rest the rest of it something something middle earth legends of middle battle for middle earth Something Something Middle Earth. Legends of Middle... Battle for Middle Earth? Fuck it, I don't know. No, that's a different game.

Kellogg's Boo-Boo-Roo. There it is. Model-A-Thon Shelob, we don't propose things that are insane and unjustified. Now, to be fair, this has an interesting factoid that I did not know.

And I will stand corrected on that point. But let's go. We had a chance to talk to director Bob Roberts about why giant spider Shelob is now an attractive femme fatale and why nobody has created a shadow of Mordor clone yet blah blah

blah blah it all sounds good but but Shelob for example I'm glad she's not a giant spider because I hate them ha ha ha ha I think it's fair to say the Tolkien would not like this game. Ha ha ha ha. But I suspect he'd hate all video games. I bet Chris Tolkien hates them too. Oh, what a...

Probably, but we run everything through Middle Earth Enterprises. It's the most soulless thing ever. They've got all our ideas. We get feedback from them on specific details. Like, for example, there's an enemy who's evil. His blood must be black, right right black blood for evil enemies so these things have to be consistent we're huge fans we don't propose things that are insane and unjustified i understand from the books that she lob was not literally a giant spider she was kind of a demon and she just taken that form that i didn't know i didn't know that. Yep. I feel stupid now.

Yeah, she's some sort of demigod and we give our justifications when we pass this stuff along for approvals. This is where we pull the rationale for doing this thing that wasn't in the books but we think it makes sense in the context. How do you feel when fans complain because your fans are yourselves?

We want everybody to be happy but we do what we think is best. Don't want to just rehash the old stuff. Yada, yada, yada. Right. So the key point here is that apparently in the books, Shelob was not literally a giant spider, but a demon that took on the form of a giant spider. Which means she could take on the form of a hot lady. And that's entirely plausible and fine. you know what you're right you didn't propose something that was insane and unjustified just something that was hacky and stupid and tired that's all oh man did you did matt the end did matt show you that fucking that fucking trailer from one of the

orc machine groups or whatever you know it's all fucking dubstep and fucked oh man like like i'd agree like that would that would hit a little harder if not for every piece of marketing of this game being like the most embarrassing fucking dude bro like rock music fucking shit ever. And it being just rife with microtransactions. Yeah. No. I guess. They're taking Middle Earth and they're trying to make it the most dude bro thing ever.

But they are technically coloring within the lines. She lob is pennywise there it is yeah bam pennywise is not a clown don't think he's a clown he's not a clown never said it was a clown he's the essence of fear in in clown form that's it that's all you need to know um yeah no there definitely is something to be said about yoko Taro just going, I like girls. And then that's the end of it. That's the end of it. That's the end of that.

People just going, Yoko Taro, please bless me. But why would... Because that's it. Is Yoko Taro like the anti-Kamiya on Twitter? Maybe. He doesn't ban anybody. He follows everybody. Yeah.

And he wants you to send him as much porn as possible. I had a horrible moment the other day. Remember we were talking about rappers last week? And how I don't know nothing about it? Sure. So I was looking at my Twitter. And somebody said, hey dude, do you know Lil B follows you? And I went, no.

So then I went to Lil B's Twitter. Lil B follows you. Yeah. Like, oh. Yeah. Along with 1.49 million other people. Of course. And I'm like.

Yeah. Guess what? The fucking, so does, I don't even know the – some giant super mega like CEO, social media maven person. Yeah. That pops up in like your most popular follower this month is a guy that follows like 800,000 people. What does your feed look like when you follow that many people? You don't look at your feed. You just don't – you don't click there because that's not the point right it's the fall it's it's the whole what's the follow back

mechanic right it's all like you can like little b is a genius because he fucking follows everyone and everything and people feel good about that so then they follow you good for a second you can absolutely build that that fan base because people one of the easiest ways follow for follow that's it f for f sub for sub sub for sub sub for sub it's such a basic mechanic but the base god understands the basics of the base mechanic where he just goes i'm a click follow you see it because when a giant ass followed person yeah follows you tells you it tells you right away and you go oh my god he's important and then he goes he let you go he likes me i should follow him that's got to be a robot right

like that's a lot of clicks that he's not clicking on 1.4 million people's follow buttons you best believe he's paying somebody to do it damn um yeah man it's a really effective system i got i got tricked by the social media like instagram has this whole thing of like anytime someone popular gets followed, there's all these people that like see it. And then they go to that person and they just like a random photo or something you've got. And then you go, oh, someone liked my photo. And then you go in and you're like, oh, I guess I should follow them. That's the mind share. That's the game we play.

Other games we play were L.A. Noire. We played it too early, everybody. Oh, too early. The LP is ruined. Oh, no. They announced L.A. Noire stuff after we just finished playing it. It's not actually going to include anything that you didn't see in the LP. And it's not like we needed it to be happening then at the time we started it.

And it would have no actual performance or visual improvements that you would have seen over the PC version that we played. Ruined. Ruined. Ruined. Screwed up. The only thing it would have done is made it slightly easier to record. Yeah. That's it.

Time to start over. Ah, well. Rockstar Games announces Eleanor coming to the Switch, Xbox One, PS4, and the VR spinoff. See, now that's interesting. That's fun. I want to know what that's about. It's VR case files, and they've taken case files from the game and turned them into VR games. Yeah, so these are unique new cases, though.

No, it says they've been adapted case files from the game. But what adapted, that means old cases got rejiggered into VR games. I'm sure you're not going to have to walk around and find evidence. Hell no, you're going to teleport around. And talk to people. Yeah. Yeah. Makes sense for VR because that face tech probably works great in VR.

Now, if I'm not mistaken, correct me if I'm wrong here, did we not even start considering this? No, we started considering it a while ago, right? Matt and I originally talked about this a long-ass time ago. Long time ago. But it sat on the back burner burner and then it popped up when the rumors of this re-release started to surface. Oh, is that why?

I feel like that's what happened. I don't know. But I feel like there were rumors that popped up early enough on that we actually started to go, yeah, we should go do that. We wanted to do it for a while and then we did. So it's almost like it's related anyway.

Almost. Anyway, so that's pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing those exaggerated ass... faces in VR. I want to get close up to the old man and see those wrinkles. Oh, man. Get as close as you can to that old man. Rub your VR goggles on his lips

and then there's some other stuff going on with the with the Kickstarter world we have Okinawa Rush oh Matt mentioned that and we did a video for it yes Okinawa Rush is currently on its last 48 hours, I believe.

Let me confirm that. But it's about to end. And where is it at? It's just shy. 39 hours to go. Okay. nine hours to go okay so it's two out two days away uh from being wrapped up and it has 8 000 pounds of 10 000 uh right now and right and it seems like if they hit their goal i don't know the full details on it because matt hasn't fully uh explained in detail he was being very coy he

was however if i'm to understand correctly there's a possibility that the Baz might make his way into Okinawa Rush. And that's pretty dope because that game was cool. One more game to the Baz pile of confusion. Yeah, one more reason for everyone to get upset and worried that this random character is showing up in all their games. I approve. Yes. I like it. So that's going down.

And another thing that unfortunately, I think the timing just sort of missed me because I was away. But Beyond Human is a Kickstarter that was going on as well for a Metroid-like combat game that looks pretty dope as well but unfortunately i think it's kickstarter failed just like because it looks great just like all of the other just like all the other ones it looks really cool ghost song was lucky as shit

yeah because it was the first one it got in there nice and early and um so the the thing with uh beyond human they got in touch and had a cool like like sort of like hey maybe you know baz and i saw a little picture little mock-up and i was like oh fuck that's a really cool bass it's a really cool bass mock-up but um got in touch a little it's becoming known that this is the fastest way to the best friend's heart sure through their bass sure it's that simple the bass everywhere system commences now but the but unfortunately it was like a little too late because it was like again like hours you know from it from uh falling short and I was overseas. It couldn't be helped.

Shketanai. But yeah, that was one of them too. And I think they're going to have some other follow-up plans for this though. So this cool pixel art talent will not be going to waste as far as I understand. For your success in the future, guys. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see here. Yeah, that's good that's fine i mean you know there's other stuff like like a million concurrent players on fucking battlegrounds so

yeah i mentioned that i mentioned that it beat uh twitch the on Twitch the other day, remember? Yeah. But when I said that, they were at like 850. What the fuck? That was last week. A million people at the same time. I think the highest ever is like Dota 2 at 1.2 during some tournament. Well, what is Overwatch like on a regular basis i don't know you know destiny hit 1.2 uh uh on on all platforms uh a few days ago but like on on the

pc for something to be like like it's not the highest yet because there's because there's millions of people that obviously own and play these games but at the same time it's not the highest yet it's it's getting there but what's astonishing is how fast it's going right like what like the it hit a million a couple days ago it might be at 1.1 now okay we're we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people simultaneous yeah every couple days got at it like it's it's rise has been meteoric uh at a brief little shitty glance on google looks like somewhere around 300k people play overwatch at least on uh on pc that's nothing to sneeze at and in north america also it's worth

noting that player unknown battlegrounds is only on pc and only on steam there's only on early access yeah yeah if this was on consoles this would be the number one most played game period i mean that's that is absolutely one way to fucking get those numbers up is to have one place to play it. You know, like at the end of the day. That's crazy. That shit is nuts. And we didn't even know what the fuck this game was until Vinny told us. Yeah, that's true.

Right. We found out live on the podcast. We had our balls exposed. It was pretty good. That game is going to get a big update soon. It's going to add a lot. That game is going gonna get a big update soon that's gonna add a lot that game's gonna get a big port soon oh yeah no from some company yeah from microsoft from who you know they it was announced okay at e3 yeah and we rolled our eyes because we didn't know

what the fuck it was there you go you have huge huge huge huge that'll save microsoft microsoft i don't know if you remember but they grabbed a z they're that those rights and they grab pub g's as well because they look at these and they go we want our platform to be the one that has that the next minecraft basically yeah and that's smart so hurry the fuck up i guess the game has to finish it has to come out of early access before well microsoft is is is you know they're buying the franchises that are already successful as opposed to the ones that look promising yeah and you know i feel that like sure that's a business strategy that'll at sound people will show up for the thing they know they

like uh but i you know you kind of respect it when you... I don't think they bought it. I think they just got the exclusive rights for their console first. Well, yeah. Okay. So... First. Yes. It's always first now. No one's doing Xbox only.

Never. No one's doing it. You're right. That is over with. That era is gone. For anything that's not directly produced by Microsoft Studios or Sony microsoft studios or sony's first party studios or nintendo's first party studios like yeah no that shit's free you're only you're only buying time it's free to go somewhere sometime that being said the pc will always be the play to

the place to play a game like this that gets the updates like this if you've got mail, it's free to go to our inbox sometime at superbestfriendcast at gmail.com. That's superbestfriendcast at gmail.com. I'm really thirsty and I think you can hear my voice cracking. A little bit. I'm kind of thirsty. Will this help? What did you do? I broke it.

I broke my air horn. Nothing. You didn't do anything. Nothing helped. Why would you... How did I break my air horn? Why would you set me up to help me and then let me go? I'm never going to trust fall with you ever.

You shouldn't trust fall with me because I don't know if I can catch you. That's true too. You're way bigger than me. That's true too. Wait, hold on. Hey, I solved it. An air horn is supposed to solve my thirst. That's true too. You're way bigger than me. That's true too. Wait, hold on. Hey, I solved it. An air horn's supposed to solve my thirst? That's right.

Who's thirsty around an air horn? What's the email? Just what's the email? Thirsty motherfuckers that trying to get in on the booty? There it is. All right. The Drake says, dear Scrublord Crusaders.

Hey, man. What up? I was thinking about... I was thinking back about the OoyYA recently, but it doesn't say OUYA, it says OOLA or OOTA. That's probably the OUYA. I was thinking about the OOTA recently, and I realized I'd never not take an opportunity to hate and mock that shitty little console.

Frankly, it deserved every bit of criticism and vitriol it got. So, I was wondering, if there was any console accessory or game you will always go out of your way to mock and demean thanks the drake i mean obviously the dreamcast it just had its birthday so you know uh the dreamcast controller dreamcast is a great console hey hey hey hey hey you guys you guys never took a moment to distinguish that you're talking only about yeah that's because you were there and it pisses you off sure yeah no but the dream gas is a great system this is dreamcast controller i will always i will i see one in the street i'm gonna go kill it uh i love making fun of melee it's my favorite um i will shit on what's a game that i'll i'll fight for after you wills look at me

i will always make fun of the 3do oh man i forgot because it caused me physical pain and oh the virtual boy by that metric as well i will always make fun of uh the Infinium Labs Phantom because its name is the most perfectly named console of all time. And of course, there's the Duke. The Duke. So you have bigger hands than I do. You don't

like the Duke either? No one likes the Duke. No one likes the Duke? Okay. And Chrono Cross, of course. That pile of garbage one person liked to duke we got rid of them yeah um wait who i actually i'm actually trying to remember i think uh back in qa there was someone that preferred to use the duke for testing purposes and it was like you are and they just disappeared huh there yeah they got disappeared we'll see him no more no he's gone and he's gone

he's with his dukes now was this like he's gone and there's nothing we could do about it uh yeah yeah there i'd say that. I'd say that sums it up. Fucking Chrono Cross. Eric in Georgia says, dear low-tier godcast, all of your fighting game talk got me to finally, after not having cared about fighting games since Tekken 2, take the dive.

Fired up the table saw, bought a couple fight sticks, pictures included, please notice me, senpai, bought Street Fighter V, and I've been toying around with it. But the upcoming game I'm most excited for is Dragon Ball Fighters. Of course. Seeing how I'm a noob as fuck, what games can I play to get ready for that style of fighter? Also, do you think there will be helpful onboarding-like demonstrations in the game?

Or will I have to keep watching woolly's boring ass videos keep up the good work guys well first of all you have to keep watching woolly's boring ass videos it's the only way to learn the game you have to even if you get nothing and it physically damages you you have to he needs you frame data. I don't know what games he could play right now that would help with Super. You would know a better answer to that. But as for the onboarding, like Arc System Works games are obsessive in their tutorialization. They're excellent across the board. Like that game will teach you how to play it.

Hey, jerk face. It's really simple. The guys that are making the game go look up their name and see what else they have out on the market right now. It's Guilty Gear Ex-Arts Rev 2, Revelator 2. Yeah. And it's a game that is going to play the most similarly to this alongside Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Not exactly, but similar. Similar. But the point is that the team striker mechanics and three-on-three stuff, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, will be handy to that.

But you're actually going to be maneuvering and moving and playing a lot like Guilty Gear. And yes, as you mentioned, Guilty Gear Ex-Arred Rev 2 is actually one of the most comprehensive tutorial systems out there right now because not only does it do the combo thing to walk you through what you've got to do with your character and through the basics, but it walks you through situations that occur commonly in games that you

don't know how to deal with, that you weren't even aware were a moment that you should be thinking about. Hey, here's some things you could do. Like, for example, in these games, when you double tap forward you run right you don't just dash but running in guilty gear when you stop running you slide when you're sliding you can't do anything and any buttons that the person presses are going to hit you so you have to be aware of that not run like crazy and know how to stop on a dime dime by pressing back and doing a faultless defense to stop your slide. You learn that in their tutorial just basically explaining how to begin playing a little bit competitively or at least not get bodied.

I would say that in the all-time tutorials, it's Virtua Fighter 4 Evo with the all-time greatest. Yeah. Followed by Arc System Works. So here's the problem is that's locked into our nostalgia, but people are surpassing that, dude. Okay, well... Exard is surpassing that and Skullgirls is surpassing that. I was about to say Skullgirls in all of Arc System Works' games. They're moving beyond the Virtua Fighter.

Wow. Yeah. That was incredible at the time because it was just unheard of. But now we have... There's match-up data in that tutorial yeah yeah yeah it's it's incredible no in this so what this game what what excerpt is

doing is it has exactly it has matchups has character specific situations that it goes this character wants to do this a lot of the time this is how they do it and this is what you should do to stop it and it just straight up like here's a list of 50 things. That's great.

And every character, it's just like, okay, I got it. I know what you're trying to do now. You know? So, yeah, man. There you go. But, no, you do have to keep watching my boring ass videos. I'm sorry. It's only fair.

He made them. What can I say? We got one. You could say that you plan on making them less boring, but that's no fun. It's also not true. What is that noise? The little hair bands that I have on my wrist. I'm rolling them on Zarya's pecs because I don't feel like tying my hair back right now. Okay.

Hello, long-time viewer-listener here. I just want to say a lot of things, a lot of things, a lot of things. Now with that stuff out of the way, I do actually have a question for you Bumble Kings. Hey, what up? Have you ever thought about bringing back the mailbag, not as a permanent thing or

anything, just because of how much shit you were getting constantly in the mail, but i was wondering if you might consider just bringing it back every once in a while like for a month or something every once in a while as a special occasion no uh after all that it was rather fun watching y'all get weird and awesome stuff from mail from fence anyways keep on doing your stuff i really appreciate it uh no we'll answer this as many times as we need to but but it was net cons as opposed to prose, unfortunately. So, like, the main issue is that... And that sucks because you'd think a lot of cool, fun stuff from people would be nothing but fun times.

Yeah. But it actively took away from our ability to record videos. Because you guys are too generous. Period. And we, like, at the end of the day we're about making videos i mean like and and there's also logistical problems with this i've seen a lot of people say what if you brought it back limited right if we bring back the mailbag in a limited fashion right say hey between such and such a date we'll be accepting this stuff guess what happens

well like like we're gonna wear out our backs because you guys are too generous the the it it shuts them also we got to a weird point where people were sending in you sex toys and beetles well there was that we try not to talk about those we try to stay on message generous but the truth is is that uh yeah if we made that window it would be the same density just in a smaller window compressed into a smaller window exactly it doesn't solve it it really unfortunately doesn't and at the end of the day if we're gonna meet up together sit down and spend uh eight hours hanging out uh it'd be much more productive for us to do video games

than to, unfortunately, have to spend that time opening a lot of awesome meals. Sorry. It sucks because it was fun. Yeah. But there is just not a technical ability to fix that problem. Also, I don't know about you, but I still don't have room in my house. No. I've now resorted to browsing cons, fix that problem also i don't know about you but i still don't have room in my house no i've i've

now resorted to browsing cons and like i just don't i just don't purchase things i bought all those ads from a recent con like those those paper ads yeah i haven't put them up yeah no no like especially with money place i'm just walking around looking at like sure like i might like t-shirts even it's like okay i have to throw a shirt out to buy a new shirt. It's my rule. And there are some shirts I'd like to throw out. Yeah. But like anything that's not that gets like it's done. It's over with. Especially now with fucking Dante and Virgil and those 3D printed little pixel character 3D things.

It's done. There is nothing else happening. If it comes in, it has to be a consumable or destroyable item food only basically no puppies well i said consumable hey we're playing t-ball over here man you consume a puppy with love you yeah to hug them and barbecue sauce ah come on man come on you on. You're going to bring it back. You're going to bring back the Wooly Eats Dogs meme. I guess I was thinking because recently when Ari Shaffir was abroad and he was talking on his shows and stuff about how he was like, oh, these stupid stereotypes, whatever. And then says the guy that had a show called The Amazing Racist.

I know. But then legit saw like, oh, no, that's dog on the menu right there. On a stick. It's actually being served here in this country normally like a thing. Not stereotypically, but like literally. That cultural thing got turned into a stereotype where it didn't belong. But yeah, no, that's the thing. How about that?

And you love it, you say. With some barbecue sauce oh you love the dog i like dogs you like tags i like bags bag uh i gotta watch snatch again that movie's amazing oh man super barf, barf, barf, barf, barf, barf. Thank you, Eric. Thanks, Eric. We got one that's just telling us about the furry fallout of poor... Poor councilman. Councilman Chamberlain. So we addressed that already. We've got one coming in from Cameron.

Hey, Cameron. Dear Super Best Feet Inflaters. Oh, no. Who would die first? A stuntman doing a thousand stunts in a row or a wrestler doing a thousand bumps in a row? The distinction here is very meaningless.

Yeah because what I mean is the stunt like just jumping off of like a little like ledge or is the stunt doing a flip or is the stunt breaking through a glass window? Yeah. I'm going to go stuntman by default. Yeah.

Because if it involves... Unless the bump being described is the hell in the cell toss. Sure. Yeah, exactly. No. I would say if the stuntman has to have his head pointed

towards the ground at any point, then he's going to die first. See, I always got the impression that when stunt people die, it's always sudden and an accident right because um stunt work is inherently dangerous and there's all there's certain amounts of risk that you can't reduce right and a certain amount of them retire to be stunt coordinators or whatever right you know stunt experts and they're not young and they can't do it anymore so they stop right the danger to wrestlers has always been and will always be time time kills wrestlers it's not a thousand bumps

it's a hundred thousand bumps it's without the ability to heal ever yeah it's like the main thing with liam's wrists wasn't that they could not heal it's that he in order to let them heal he would have to not use his wrists for like six months at all at all which is like how are you supposed to do anything yeah especially related to this business without using your fucking wrists it's tough i mean a hip box will help but not not that much i have a friend that uh top fucking rated uh arxis player that like recently had to switch to a hitbox because his wrists were fucking exploded it's something that like as much as i shit all over melee like there's some of their top players are like this controller situation that we have and these fucking gamecube controllers

and the things that you have to do in this game. Like, our wrists are dying. Like, they were never meant to do this bullshit. And the Hitbox stuff was originally, like, not the Hitbox, but the Smashbox. Yeah. It was originally manufactured to get around wrist problems. Because high-level Smash just gives you wrist damage. Fuck. I didn't even catch that part of it.

Yeah, that's why the Smashbox thing was such a kerfuffle. Because it got banned because it had certain highly specific attributes that would be somewhat advantageous. But its creation was by one of a top player who was like, my wrists are destroyed. I need this to play. I mean, the hitbox was created for multiple purposes because some people just like keyboard feel yeah and one of which was like super big cheating but then it but then it of course turned out that well again hitbox doesn't have um well the official one but the ones that you can do all in both sides yeah uh but the um whatchamacallit uh the other then

it turned out that it's like oh shit people that have disabilities have a fucking really advantageous time using this type of controller yeah you invented something that's super useful for a lot of people yeah you know uh but yeah that that whole thing with um kid icarus man just you know like certain games that require like breakneck reaction speeds with your hands. In awkward positions. Will start doing damage. So, yeah. And that's a wrestler.

Fucking Sakurai himself has wrist problems. Yeah. Like I know it's funny to joke because it's hilarious. But I mean, like he makes Kid Icarus. And then Smash Brothers. And then Smash Brothers. The two most notorious games. For wrist damage.

Melting. And there's stories of him playing Smash with two controllers, one in each hand. Wow. Against himself to test shit. Wow. Right? And it's like he develops like chronic, near crippling wrist damage problems. That's insane.

And it's like every game you make, Sakurai. Except for Kirby stuff kirby stuff yeah yeah yeah yeah but the other two games you make just like i remember playing kiddo chris man my wrists hurt after like 10 minutes on i worry what difficulty normal normal yeah juice it up to get the pot brewing and then you you will see what liam was doing and it's fucking stupid yeah um yeah no absolutely it's a weird thing that like nintendo warns you about you should take a break with your eyes and things like that but no one really talks about like the health bar on your wrist getting decreased to zero uh anyway be aware if you're hey if you're playing a video game and any part of your hands or even arm starts to hurt you fucking chill it for a second the saltiest of fighters

dear trying to get me to say a word best friends i've recently been watching a lot of videos, particularly salty YouTubers that play fighting games. Oh, yeah. And I get extremely salty and aggressive calling Johns any time they can never accept a defeat. That's right. You guys are all big into fighting games

and only gets to go to FTG meetups. And my question is, what's the most standout moment of Salty Johns you've ever witnessed? I mean, how do you handle it? When it's directed towards you? Whatever. You laugh it off. Who cares? All right. I know. What's the saltiestout moment of Salty Johns You've ever witnessed I mean how do you handle it Whatever you laugh it off who cares What's the saltiest Johns you've ever seen What's the saltiest Johns I've ever seen

It was our old friend W The little guy And I've told this story before Because it's my favorite And we're playing KOF 11 And we're at his mom's house This was a long time ago And down to the wire got

each character i forget who he was playing but i was playing as k-dash and i hit a full screen super with the glasses just absolutely all the way over his fireball hit him and the super animation starts and it's like you have like one pixel you're gonna die as soon as the you know as soon as he hits the fist that's where the death yeah and he just he just slashes out his foot and expertly kicks the reset button on king of fighters 11 he goes oh i guess you didn't win that match and i go and it was calm it was calm yeah but but i was like man that's bullshit because no man you just didn't win and i just got up and i left like that's the that's the word the original you didn't win yeah straight up and well i couldn't fucking believe it like

it's so child like that's pretty we've been playing matches for like an hour and a half um i'm gonna say uh number two goes to Sanford Kelly. Who was he playing against? Rico? He was playing against Rico Suave at Battle Circuit. The stick smash, brah.

And then the dent in the ground. He dented the ground? It cracked the tile and they zoom in on the tile permanently damaged on the floor. And that stayed. That was a mark. So the thing that makes that clip special for me is that it's Sanford loses. Everybody's calm.

Sanford calm gets up. Takes it. Just the hardest throw. Straight at the floor. Football spike. Yeah. And then the camera stays on Rico and Rico goes

hee hee. And gives a little thumbs up. And a little smile. The Freshmaker. That's the best one. That's good. Yeah. You know, despite all the Gutex memes, the real stories with Rico Suave and Samford Kelly. But number one

with a bullet is Perfect Legend, a.k.a. Perfect 13-Gend, because you take the L and the E and you turn it into a 1 and a 3. Because, oh my God. So I didn't hear about this one. Set the stage.

Oh, God. Okay, so Perfect Legend and sonic fox have a rivalry they're fighting each other right what game is this this is in uh mk x right and he says yo uh i can body you right do talk shit talk shit talk shit talk shit i can body you whatever right? Talk shit, talk shit, talk shit, talk shit. I can body you, whatever, no problem, right? Yeah. Fine. Fuck it. We're doing a first to ten.

First to ten. Let's do it. Sonic Fox sits down, plays, fucking annihilates Perfect Legend like 10-0. Beyond conviction. It is just violation violation there is no discussion no in between yeah the set ends uh

after you know all that build up right oh i now remember this almost like the viscant low tier god type thing yeah and then you have that moment where you're like all right let's make the meme for world star hip-hop let's make it it's either shake hands or perfect legend takes the mic from big e and uh he gets on and says hey look all right when i said that i was talking

about a specific character i was talking about specific matchup and a specific matchup which you didn't play so you know so you know i mean look i i never i never disrespected uh your the other character i disrespected i was saying that it was this matchup which we didn't play so whatever yeah and biggie takes it and he's like you all want to run it back all right first to three and sonic fox is like fuck yeah of course and he sits back down and then he three-os him again and like with the new character with the character originally specified in the fucking you know in the shit talk and fuck it and spooky is just on the mic going oh no oh bro someone save him no not like this not like like you hear spooky watching a murder take place

and not know what to do about it right and he fucking just and you hear like at the commentary it just falls apart yeah it falls apart because it's just guys just laughing there's nothing else to say and just spooky and arturo just fucking dying in their chairs as perfect legend gets 13 and owed in a first to 10 it was the realist it was a it was a moment that like fucking that goes up there in the in the halls of time and his name becomes perfect one three edgings oh man oh that's a great story yeah that's the big one for me that's the big one what'd he do afterwards i mean i he got he got up and i think in the on the footage is a moment where it's like he's gonna get the mic again and. And they kind of just go, no, no.

I might be just remembering that incorrectly. Maybe, you know. But I seem to recall there was another moment where he was going for the mic. And they just kind of went, no, no, no, no. Just turn. It's done. It's done. That was a wipeout.

Some big ass wipeouts in this video game. I'd say poor guy. But he did it to himself 100%. He did it to himself. He did. And that's why it really hurts. Because he did it to himself. Oh, boy.

Yeah, that's a bad one. And then let's take one final one from Sean. He says... Hey, Sean. Mes ché-pères et merde. Mes ché-pères de merde. Aimez-vous la média en français comme les jeux ou films? Est-ce qu'il est seulement utile pour la vie? Caussienne en Québec. Je suis anglophone. B-lang.

This is weirdly written. This is clearly using Google, bilingue. This is weirdly written. This is clearly using Google Translate. Yeah. This isn't correct. Je suis anglophone, bilingue de Nouveau-Brunswick. That would explain it. Exactly. Yeah.

Perhaps. Perhaps. Acadien. Mais c'est pas souvent que je cherche for the media in my second language. I thought it would be funny to get your attention. Sorry for the mistakes. I forgot how hard it is. So, yes.

It's not your fault. It's good. It's okay. It's okay. Do you like the media in French? No. Why? Because most of the time, the media en français, c'est les dubs.

Quand j'étais 7 ou 8 années, ma soeur, mon frère, on allait voir Aladdin en français. Ah, Aladdin en français Aladdin en français oui oui oui c'est pas bon mille nuits arabiques la seule chose que j'aime

pour Shitstorm. La version français, québécois-français, de Coming to America avec Eddie Murphy. C'est la meilleure film du monde. C'est current, je te dis.

Fucking, c'est très bon. C'est fucking bon, man. Oui. C'est comme, parce que c'est juste comme les Simpsons. C'est français, It's like... Just like the Simpsons, it's like...

It's... French, Quebec, and it's not like Parisian. It's not just translation or transliteration. They fucking got it right on point. Apologies, by the way,

to all of our French listeners who are laughing at our out of practice french i don't i haven't spoken it like at length since like school because of you fucks also all my all my relatives just started to speak english instead because pat's the dumb little Anglo child. I went to Anglo school. What's it going to take? Have you ever had...

pas de problème chialer ce n'est pas un mot mon père le dit tout le temps See, I remember that, no problem Chalet is not a word My dad says it all the time It's not real What does that mean? I am in chalice now Like, you've put me in chalice Alright, Jobin, let's go

Prends tes affaires, puis let's go Alright All right, Joe Ben, let's go. Prends tes affaires, puis let's go. Yeah. All right. Crazy. Maintenant, on fait le watch. I can't wait to get all the ha-ha-ha-ha-ha cheese. Yeah. That's like, nah, bro, Kurds.

Yeah. Also, and it's the fun thing about being a Quebecer, is because all the people who, particularly our American listeners, who go to make fun of us with that shit they all use the parisian jokes and it's like no we're right there with you parisians fuck him go back to the chitzy learn how to speak real french fucking french countryside bunking motherfuckers Fucking French countryside bunking motherfuckers. Get out here. Hear the real French out in Abitibi, Temescamac.

Temescamac. Yeah. Yeah. That's from Troy Evra. Yeah. Hey, man. La vraie poutine, ça commence à Drummondville. all right now that we've told them now that we've done a good portion of the podcast that most people don't understand uh what's coming up man what do we got coming up on the channel uh police knots continues continues dead space continues getting up did you guys fix that

shit yeah we fixed it we fixed it um you know what turns out so it turns out the solution was something i knew existed all along yeah matt told me about this the solution was within me all along and i just forgot when you big picture steam it lets you remap controllers for everything you add to steam yeah but that's only an option when you big picture yeah so uh i had a lot of trouble with that because if you turn the steam overlay off it disables that functionality so um but that thing is amazing it is and it's dumb that it only exists in that mode so when let me right click and do that when you go to sonic mania and you plug in a playstation 4 controller and you go to controller prompts the number one result in community

templates is sonic mania for playstation 4 controller by christian whitehead that's awesome it's so good that's pretty solid uh yeah that's continuing that's going on you know it is what it is what about woolly versus man Woolly Versus, man? I'm going to continue getting into Tekken. Oh, that's boring. There's another gameplay video where I sit down with Gutsy Geek Rami and walk through actual in-game scenarios that happen often. So if you're interested in what the fuck 3D games are about and why, like,

what the fuck is the sidestepping thing? It's bullshit. How do I not get blown the fuck up every time because I'm trying to play this like Street Fighter or any other 2D game? Like, tune in because, yeah, we address a lot of those things. I'm working still on a...

There's an Amsterdam video that's going to require a lot of editing. And then there's – Is it you asking disgusting questions to prostitutes? No. Okay. I'm not going to watch it now. And then as far as stuff like Naruto and Kingdom Death goes, yeah, that will be a thing soon.

Are you giving up on Naruto? No, but I definitely am realizing that I don't have the opportunity to record as often as I want to. Like fucking Matt's done Bible Black. And I'm like, oh, man. You probably did that in one go. In and out in one shot. Yeah. Just like Bible Black.

And I'm kind of like, oh, boy, I kind of committed to really getting back into these things. So I'm going to have a think. I'm going to have a little think about it. You're going to watch my hero academia, man. Of course that's on the list alongside everything else. Um, and,

uh, there will be a special, a kingdom death coming out, uh, eventually soon. So yeah. Oh man, my fly has been down the whole time,

but I definitely think that, um, I mean, I want to fuck it. I'll just think out loud here that like uh it might be more beneficial for me to just kind of like have a sort of what the fuck ever sort of schedule as opposed to trying to commit to like um you know like set lps and stuff because i don't i don't want people to feel so annoyed by the by the downtime i have had the exact same

really don't want that feeling. The exact same problem with my stream. Because I start a bunch of games and all the games that I play are long. And I go alright, let me walk you through. I started and played like I did like 9, 10 streams in a row of Pillars of Eternity, right?

And now I played like 60, 70% of that game on stream. But I don't really feel like streaming it right now. But I do want to play it in my off time, right? But then I start XCOM, and then I start this, and then I start this. Like, should I just do whatever the fuck? And that seems to actually be the answer. Just do whatever the fuck.

Doing whatever the fuck, yeah. And I realize... And it's because I took the rule that we have here, which is fucking finish anything you start, and I kind of applied it everywhere, and that's not feasible. No, and the thing is that there's... took the rule that we have here yeah which is fucking finish anything you start and i i kind of applied it everywhere and that's not feasible no and then and the thing is is that there's and there's fun stuff that i've had sitting in the pipeline there's intros to things sitting in the pipeline that have not been used yet because you know i'm like okay well i gotta wait for this to

be done and that to be done but uh yeah i think i need a little bit more of a freeform schedule because I can't predict when fucking suddenly con month just happens. Yeah, that month. And you're like, oh shit, I'm gone every weekend. And then... But now I have all this footage of me beating up George at ping pong. It's got to go somewhere, right? So, you know, and then you kind of go like, oh, fuck. Well, if I had a regular schedule, people are like, oh, where's Naruto?

But it's like, no, I got this other dumb shit. If you were a good ping pong journalist, you could have won. Maybe if I was good at reporting on ping pong. So, yeah, I'm going to I'm definitely going to have a little thing about that because I do have some other like one off video ideas and I have more fun, I think, thinking about some of those ideas but i definitely wanted to be more of a free-form non-committal channel because it's supposed to be a stress-free place yeah man that's what it's about what's going on over at uh whatever you fucking angry spat what's going on not much dude i'm probably gonna stream this weekend what i'm gonna stream i don't know probably more extra i restarted an x-com stream uh and uh maybe some destiny or something else i don't know just come on in i'll

i'll i'll do a stream that's it matt's not here but he's probably gonna stream something this week at matt mcmuzzles matthew mcmuzzles yeah yeah he's gonna have stuff going on probably he does like one a week or one every 1.5 weeks. So he's probably got one. Or you could not just fucking go to every single con, says Chatterbox. Well, I like to see people. I'm sorry that that upsets you. Yeah, he's one of them social people.

He's one of them. He's always got some shit going down. I don't like to acknowledge the chat much, but you get the acknowledgement there, Chatterbox. Good job. Continuously salty every week.
