plastic, you're stuck with them.
That's why Red Box lets you try out the hottest new games risk-free.
Right now, you can rent Call of Duty World War II, Middle Earth Shadow of War, WWE 2K18
and more.
Friendcast to 7272-72 for a free one-night game rental.
Well it feels like we've had a podcast all three of us in like a year.
That is true.
That is true.
Hey, welcome back.
We're all here.
Performing.
Poor Vue.
Oh, man.
Hey, what up?
So, you said you're an egg now?
I'm sorry, what?
You said you're an egg now?
Oh, I heard you say something very different and much darker, but...
How about we just go with the egg now?
I'm not pause.
I'm an egg.
You wanna take that narrative somewhere?
Anywhere that goes?
I shaved my head and beard.
All right.
And it's mostly back now.
Okay.
Wow, a lot of lore there.
Everyone flipped their shit when I shaved, even though I've shaved like three or four.
You can go back to watch like old videos that have live action bits and I'm shaved in those,
but nobody lost their mind.
Nobody made a comic of your beard flying off your face.
Oh, man, that was really good.
That was really good.
Did you see the sequel?
Where it comes back?
Yeah, I did.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Now, it'll be back in like a week, guys.
Jeez, chill.
Chill your beard boners.
I mean, it's also like Movember, so the timing was odd, I suppose, but...
Yeah, it's my playoff beard.
It's not during the playoffs.
Cool.
How's it going?
It's fine.
It got up really early.
What?
What?
Oh, yeah.
Going back to bed.
Yeah.
It got up and it's like 12, 20.
I'm like...
That's not...
Oh, we got to do a thing.
Is that why you were hauling ass when I saw you outside?
Well, I was hauling ass because I need to get something to eat because I haven't eaten.
All right.
So, all morning.
So, I'm like, ah, and I walk in and I got nothing and I walk out.
I'm like, ah...
Man, let me ask you a question.
What time do you actually usually get up in the morning?
Usually, I get up to feed Kitty Town.
Yeah.
And once Kitty Town is fed, I then make...
I then option select whether to stay up at 8 a.m. and get shitloads of work done.
Yeah, or shitpost on Twitter.
Or that, or go to bed.
And I went halfway where I was like, I'll lay on the couch and put on some type of YouTube
video and watch that.
Oh, yeah.
No, that's...
So, I did that and just I wake up at like 12, 20 and I'm like, oh...
Well, the reason I ask is because as unbelievable as it sounds, now that my sleep schedule normalized
after the jet lag from Japan, I'm now doing 12 to 8 every day.
And I have done so every day for the past like week and a half.
How does that feel?
It's fucking weird, man.
Yeah, I can imagine.
It's fucking weird.
Like, no one's awake but me.
Everyone is awake.
Well, I mean like...
Outside.
Well, yeah, no, not outside.
I mean, all the people I usually talk to or Twitter at or fucking whatever, everyone's
dead.
Well, when you wake up at like 7.30 a.m., Max is still streaming from last night.
Yeah, he's always awake.
But like, you know, if you're like me and you get power from the nighttime, then like
that weird like dusk or excuse me, dawn of like, you know, there's no sunlight but also
it's blue.
I like that light.
I really don't like that.
No, I like that.
I hate it.
I like that for a little bit.
That drains whatever's left out of me because it's like, it's not even the niceness of a
day or the awesomeness of a night.
It's neither.
It's just this meh.
I think I can like, you're at Dawson, you're staying after to finish work.
And then you look out and you see that light?
That's bad light.
And that's when I really didn't like it.
I've been doing a pointillism piece for the last, God knows how many hours, dot, dot,
dot, dot, dot.
And then you crack a peek outside and you go, fuck my life.
Yeah.
Yeah, because it's like everyone's gone home.
See, like that's a college, by the way.
I actually appreciate that.
Like waking up when it's dark is weird.
That's the weirdest feeling by far.
Yeah, I agree.
Because like, did I even go to bed?
So then you look, seeing the sunrise is cool.
I like that.
Yeah.
But much, much more depressing by far to me is I wake up and it's kind of daytime and
then I go to anything and then by the time I'm done that, anything, it is already dark.
That is the most fucked.
You're your first slot of the day means everything else is now done.
I have for many years now been in the time slot of winters here.
That means of my 16 hours awake, 14 of them will be in darkness, therefore even worsening
the bags under my eyes and whatnot.
I think like the whole sunrise thing only works if you are in a remote setting, like
you're like, I'm going to get up and go to the waterfront by my cabin and enjoy this.
Then sure, that's fine.
That's where your sunrise can give you power, but otherwise.
At Liam's cabin, that's like over a lake.
That's literally what I was describing.
That will replenish your life more.
Yeah, yeah.
I understood.
Absolutely there.
And Japanese sunrise in what you're going to call it.
Anything.
Hakone.
In any media really.
But beyond that to me, it's just like, dude, I've been getting so much stuff done.
Like stuff that I've been putting off for weeks because, oh, I wake up and got to go
to work by the time works over.
Everything closes in one hour.
Thus, it all has to be done on a weekend.
But on the weekend, you're like, no, it's my weekend.
I want my weekend.
I feel like, am I old now?
Did I flip the switch to old man?
Feeling like you're getting robbed of your day.
I flipped the switch to old man like 20 years ago, dude.
I sure did.
Yeah, you know, you Benjamin Buttoned it.
The idea of feeling like you're being robbed of your time every day is basically the process
of being old.
Well, there's 10 vampires everywhere.
There is.
You know?
What if there were first vampires?
Sonic forces.
Oh.
Oh, hold that.
Consciousness itself is the ultimate time vampire.
Time vampire, right?
Oh, fuck.
That's right out of you.
All right, let's talk about some weeks.
Okay.
Nothing really happened.
I don't think any games came out.
Sonic forces came out.
No movies.
Nothing really going on.
Sonic fucking forces came out.
It did.
Hey, who saw Thor?
I saw Thor.
I didn't see Thor.
Oh, great.
You should go see Thor.
I should.
Because it's a good movie.
You saw Thor?
I did.
I'll throw out a one negative.
Let me know if you agree.
The first half hour before Thor gets to gladiatorial planet,
Socar, is like a messy half hour of like editing like problems or just felt a little clunky.
And I'm just like, okay.
Oh, so it's a Thor movie.
Well, no, because once, you know, it establishes like, I'm stuck at this planet.
Like that's the plot.
And it jumps around so much at the start that it was actually just like, it just had like
an awkward story flow.
It was still entertaining, but I was just like, it's kind of weird.
But once he gets to the planet, like then it starts firing on all cylinders.
I think it was the best Thor movie.
Oh, yeah.
I think it was.
I think I could say that from the trailers.
And definitely like the formula is in full effect at this point to the most predictable
manner.
Like we're just cranking, we're turning everything into the Guardians of the Galaxy style.
It was the most popular one.
Let's just get that level of comedy going.
Also Iron Man, you know.
Yeah.
But Iron Man, I don't know.
It's also kind of like that at the beginning.
Funny.
Yeah.
Because Tony Stark's funny.
Captain America movies remain pretty grand, like Civil War and Winter Soldier.
Yeah, but like Winter Soldier is closer to like the Borne Ultimatum or something than
it is like a superhero movie.
And Civil War turned into just an Avengers movie.
Essentially.
But I think they'll take the Guardians of the Galaxy template and use it on anything that's
not working.
Yeah.
Like the Thor movies.
Yeah.
Like I think Black Panther will not be Guardians of the Galaxy.
Like not even close.
No.
But also like Captain America.
But also like the director is like not really that kind of guy.
No, no.
You directed Creed.
Yeah.
So I don't think he's going to be doing gags a minute, you know.
Yeah.
But he's a director.
He's not a writer, you know what I mean?
So the script can still be whatever it is.
That's true too.
But I don't see a ton of like T'Challa jokes flying fast and loose.
Yeah.
I don't think he's got a hot minute.
A hot five.
I don't think there's T'Challa.
Tight five.
I don't think there's time for Claw to just go, oh, Africa.
Right.
In that movie.
Yeah.
So there's definitely the, you know, the goofiness that you see with Bilbo.
What's his name?
Martin Freeman.
Martin Freeman.
Thank you.
Yeah.
No, he was right.
Yeah.
But he could be funny.
He could be a Bilbo.
He's good at funny.
Yeah.
Right.
That's the first role I saw him in.
The first role I saw him in was Hitchhiker's Guide, where he was funny.
And then in Fargo, he's pretty funny as well.
I watched one episode of Fargo.
We just couldn't get around to watching more, but we planned to.
It's solid.
And he does a really good job basically being the William H. Macy type character.
Okay.
Oh, dear.
Yeah.
I know.
Yeah.
I thought I think I like that we're moving slowly towards a professor like Hulk.
A little bit.
Yeah.
I enjoyed that part of it.
He's getting there.
I have a strong feeling that you're never, ever, ever going to see that on the big screen.
No, probably not.
No, I think there could be a thing.
In fact, unless they decide to make it the whole point of the movie.
A sequence.
Yeah.
Like it's the gimmick of the movie.
Because you notice how what they've been doing has been like, let's take a major event
and turn it into just a single moment in a movie.
Yeah.
And you know, Planet Hulk turned into like this one moment of him being in the gladiator arena.
But the idea of him becoming a smart Hulk that then is at risk because when he loses his temper,
he becomes weak puny and useless is really fun to me.
Whereas then him being large, gigantic and like incredibly smart is awesome.
And I'd like to see that in a way that like, you know, maybe with the next phase of movies.
They're not phase, but generation.
Oh, yeah.
Phase four.
No, no.
The phases are moving on and like Homecoming 2 marks the beginning of like the second arc.
Well, the second arc.
Oh, man.
There's going to.
Homecoming 2.
Yeah.
Oh, you didn't catch this.
No.
So there's 22 movies.
Like in totality.
And then Homecoming 2 begins the new age.
But why Homecoming when it's not even 100% Marvel?
Because Spider-Man will still be alive at the end of Infinity War.
It just happens to be the movie that hits that timeline because Infinity War is going to end.
Yeah.
That'll be the end of the timeline that we know.
Yeah.
And then Homecoming 2, they said, and starts the big new beginning.
No, I didn't catch that.
Does that does that account for buying Fox?
I mean, it probably accounts for everyone's contracts being not buying Fox.
Yeah.
Because they, you know, don't be surprised if like some actors get recast or changed.
Oh, yeah.
Or they start focusing on another group of heroes entirely.
Tough question.
Is there anyone you'd be like, I can lose them.
I know no stakes in that guy.
Actor or character?
Both.
Like who is someone that you feel is really indisposable.
I actually really like Jerry.
You mean disposable.
You mean disposable.
Sorry, disposable.
Yes.
I'm going to say Captain America.
The problem is that at this point, like anyone you replace is going to be awkward, right?
If someone was to die, Captain America would be the most awesome to die.
Yeah.
Because he would die.
Super kind of die.
I guess I should put it like this.
Like I hate actors getting replaced in things ever.
So you'd rather the character die off and the actor doesn't get replaced?
Because I just feel so weird by the same.
You know what I mean?
Like the roadie thing still bothers me.
You know what I would actually really like?
I would like for fucking Mr. Tony to get fucking killed and you get goddamn war machine movie with Don Cheadle.
I mean, I guess.
The thing with Downey getting killed is that he can totally get killed because Doctor Strange can comfortably fill the role of sarcastic asshole.
Oh yeah.
Downey Jr. though, I like his attitude and charisma.
So like I don't want to see less of that.
But he's so fucking tired of your man.
I know, I know, I know.
So it's a hard question.
He's put in the times.
All I'm saying is it's a hard question for me.
So I guess that all I can really pick it is who I care about the least and I think I care about what our soldier the least.
I like Hawkeye.
Yeah, you mean Bucky.
I'd rather a movie Hawkeye, movie Hawkeye can go.
I like Hawkeye.
I like Hawkeye with him.
I don't even mind him, but he can go.
No, I like that he's like a normal weirdo.
I think if I had to pick, if you're forcing my hand, I'd say Bucky.
Yes, but I like Bucky.
So that, you know what I mean?
At this point, it's like everything's pretty fun.
The ladies love Bucky.
I think Thor can go.
No, Loki can.
No.
No, Thor can go, but Loki can't.
Every one of these.
You see this Thor movie?
Now I don't want Thor to go.
At the end of Dark World, I would want Thor to go.
The question sucks because they're all fine now.
Vision, I guess, if you want to pick something.
I wouldn't mind.
Yeah, vision.
You know what I want really bad?
I don't want Black Widow to go because I want that Black Widow movie.
You know what I like?
Maybe this is selfish and I want to see it all burn, but I want Infinity War Part One to come out,
and I want to see one full third of that cast list just get fucking iced.
Just like Chris Pratt and Robert Downey Jr. and all those guys just decapitated.
I mean, no, but there's rumors that the...
There's going to be wipeouts.
There's rumors?
There's going to be wipeouts?
Yeah.
But there is.
Okay, but what I was going to say is that there's rumors that it's going to be a heist movie
that is basically...
No, no, not even rumors.
I saw an interview that the director was like, yeah, it's going to be a heist movie where
it's Thanos stealing everything.
Appiring the stones.
Yeah, that's it.
And I'm like, that sounds great.
And then the second one is the actual war.
And I'm like, that makes a lot of sense because let's face it, two movies is a long time for
a big space battle.
Yeah, man.
So it's really...
But you guys even have all the stones.
So imagine if they tried to put in getting all the stones and a big war movie and one
movie.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
So you definitely need time on that.
But whatever.
All that to say that Thor, it was fun because they had goofy jokes that then became...
The soundtrack starts as a joke in most scenes and then the scene cuts away, but it keeps
playing.
So that background song that was like a punchline is now actually just the song of this moment.
Yeah.
It's like, you know, they really just...
It's like doing the Zack Snyder thing, but effectively.
Oh man, an effective Zack Snyder.
I wish I could see that one day.
They really just said, we got Goldbloom and we want him to just be Goldbloom.
Dude, he was in it way more than I thought.
Oh, that's great.
Pretty incredible how much they just kind of just do your thing.
How did you like Gorn or Goron?
Fantastic.
Like a fucking rock guy voiced by the director.
Is he?
Yeah.
I saw the credits.
I thought it was the guy that was the head werewolf.
That's what it sounded like.
I thought it was.
And then I looked at the credits.
I'm like, oh no, it's Taiki Watiti.
Yeah, because the way he's talking, you're hearing that New Zealand accent and you're
like, am I hearing like, yeah, werewolves, are we hearing?
I love how the MCU is like, we got a thing.
We have the thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a funny rock guy.
It was very good.
They did it good with that.
Yeah, no, go see it.
It's worth it.
And I guess the only thing with it is just that, you know, it's the closest thing to
like a major downside, but the formula is really felt and it's really predictable and
you know it and you're experiencing it and you're aware that you're like, yep, you
know, 10% like drama, maybe 20% action and the rest is all comedy.
And you're like, you're in an action scene and you see the edit and you're like, there's
a joke going to happen, right?
You don't go four minutes without a smirk, you know, or like a beat type of thing.
But it's weird because you're hiring a director that literally only makes comedies or something
that does have jokes per minute.
It's like a search for the wilder people, which had Sam Neal and Alan Grant who also
has a little cameo on this.
So I was like, yeah, it's going to be a fucking full on comedy.
Even if I haven't seen the trailer, I'm like, you don't hire a comedy director unless you
expect a little bit of comedy.
I mean, there's exceptions to the rule, but like, I think for Thor, having the third one
be way more funny that that template that you are correct in saying it's a little
little overused now.
If you attach it to something that gave you very few laughs, what was the only thing you
laughed at a Thor?
There's two jokes.
It's another.
Yeah.
And meow meow.
Yeah.
What's the cat dennings quotient on this movie?
Zero.
Oh man, this movie sucks.
No, no, it's a good.
Valkyrie makes up for this is basically a reboot of Thor in a way, which is why the director
is saying what, which is why the director is saying that if they he did another one,
he wants to be Thor Ragnarok to not Thor for.
Ah, interesting.
But the the I don't know what to say.
Besides, I didn't hate Thor as much as everyone else did.
But like.
Oh, you mean beforehand?
No, no, no.
I mean, no, no, I mean, Thor one and two.
I don't.
Oh, I don't.
I don't love those movies.
I don't love them either.
The second one is like one of the most forgettable Marvel movies ever, but it's not awful.
Yeah, that's yeah.
I guess I guess you can put it, you know, forgettable.
Sure.
Like, but like, you know, it was fine when I watched it.
But it was just like, you know, this this boosts that that line or that franchise up
on its own rights into like, you know, the good, the good stuff.
The problems of the Thor movies didn't really seem important in the grander scheme of things,
whereas Captain America movies are like, oh, shit.
Well, it's because Thor movies don't take place on earth.
Exactly.
Well, the first one does.
Well, yeah.
And then the second one has an earth moment.
They don't even meant like, they don't even mention the earth characters that he met.
They don't mention Cad Dennings or or.
The professor and a bear.
They and Natalie Portman.
They mentioned Natalie Portman for one line.
They're like, she's not here again.
Yeah, effectively.
Yeah, but remember there was like five movies where they're like, where's pepper pots and
then everyone's like two cares and then she shows up again.
So, you know, you never know.
I care.
I don't know.
I like her.
Yeah.
No, I mean, no, sorry.
The characters in the movie don't care.
Tony, she dumped you again, huh?
Cause you're a fucking drunk loser, huh?
Huh, Tony?
And he's like, the conclusion of that.
You got to watch.
Man, Iron Man 3's ending is stupid as shit now.
Look, I look pepper.
I blew up all my suits.
Look, I did it.
I just got a bunch of suits.
Okay, now I tell the Infinity War.
Yeah.
Like, what's that bitch?
You're telling me not to fight the Infinity War?
No, no.
Like what?
I got to fight it a lot, man.
What I would like to see is that when they do begin this new age that, you know, I really
hope that they decide to kind of like put the spotlight on a bunch of new characters.
Yeah.
I want losers.
I want ass or formerly losers because they realized, I'm sure, that if we can do what
we did with Guardians to a ton of heroes, then we can grab like anybody and pull them
up there.
And you know, the director of Thor Ragnarok takes on the new warriors.
Sure.
Has to make Night Thrasher funny.
Sure.
You know, I think there's no reason why the world can't fall in love with She-Hulk.
I think She-Hulk can.
I absolutely want a She-Hulk movie.
Huge hit.
I want an Ali McBeal style thing with a few action scenes.
No, it would be a huge hit.
I want She-Hulk to be directed by Kevin Smith, and I want She-Hulk, the movie, to be like
his fucking idea for the Green Hornet movie where it's fucking 99 percent lawyering.
Wait, so Civil Wars or Infinity Gauntlet's happen outside the courthouse.
Yeah.
And she walks outside to do a scuffle, but the camera stays in the location, and then
she comes back in.
I would like She-Hulk as a Netflix show where it's actually just Ali McBeal, and I just
want to snap it because the She-Hulk run that I think the Marvel Now She-Hulk run was like
amazingly funny.
It was all like court stuff by day, go to the clubs at night, get drunk, get sad, no
guy wants to fuck you because they're all scared.
But now with Netflix and television stuff firmly behind us, I think the best treatment
would be a film in the next generation.
You want them to get their movie.
Because the thing is, if there are characters that are currently Z-Listers that you want
to see bumped up, you have to basically write off the ones that get pushed onto Hulu like
the runaways.
I read a review of the first episode of runaways, it's like it's not good.
Of course not, right?
And then they got, and what's the other one, Cloak and Dagger, right?
That's not out yet, but yeah.
No, but I'm saying like so there's all these Z-Listers that we want to see cool versions
of.
Can I get a doppelganger spinoff movie?
No, there's people in line before doppelganger.
But I don't know, Sony wants to make a, there's a Venom movie, doppelganger, fucking shut up,
and Riot and Scream are going to be in that movie.
All I'm trying to say is characters that have a book with their name in a special font on
it, we can start paying attention to them a little bit more.
Who's the biggest loser that you can think of that fits that profile?
Wait, like in what sense?
Well, I think everyone's going to get to love Cable in Deadpool 2.
No, I want the biggest loser that you think could get a movie.
That could get a movie.
Adam X The Extreme.
No, he could not get a movie.
But I don't believe that.
That's stupid.
Who is that?
Unless they decided to go like nuts with it and like push it and make it a whole thing.
The reinvention.
The Guardian's...
Moon Knight.
Guardian Moon Knight.
Not even.
No, he's not a loser.
He's not a loser.
Oh man.
You just don't know that well, but he's totally falling.
I want a big comic book loser, like Spawn.
Yeah.
Adam X The Extreme is a huge comic book loser.
If you've already had a movie once, you can't be categorized as a loser.
Come on now.
But anyway, that's...
Dark Hawk is a loser.
What about Squirrel Girl?
Can she get a movie?
No, she can get a cameo.
What if they get the Fantastic Four rights back?
Can she get a movie?
Squirrel Girl can get a...
Not just a cameo, but a supporting role, like...
Supporting role, yeah.
Being like...
Like a shield.
A second.
Or something.
Like being the Negasonic Warhead.
Yeah, okay.
The Teenage Negasonic Warhead of Deadpool.
What's your deal?
Oh, Squirrels, and then she gets the cool moment near the 80% mark of the movie.
Yeah.
Maybe we'll get some US agent.
You know, on the next round.
That didn't hit me in the heart.
But it hit me in one of the arteries.
There you go.
Yeah.
US fucking agent.
What a jobber.
So I played a Spider-Man Japanese game on my channel,
and I was like, man, speedball's in this.
No one cares about speedball.
And like people correct...
I don't even know who the fuck speedball is.
As you know, you get things wrong.
Everyone's like, speedball is one of the most important characters ever.
And I was like, why?
I'm like, because he started Civil War.
Yeah.
I'm like, what?
It was speedball?
He accidentally killed a whole...
Oh, the school?
A whole...
He had a whole school, yeah.
Of kids?
Or whatever.
I'm looking at a decade-long franchise of Longshot fighting...
I love Longshot.
Longshot fighting MoDoc and Mojo.
Oh, and MoDoc.
Oh, really?
Well, that entire fucking core of these villains, right?
They're very similar.
I can see Longshot being a thing.
Dazzler.
Dazzler, yeah.
Oh, Dazzler sucks, man.
No, Dazzler's cool.
Jubilee's better than fucking Dazzler.
No, Dazzler's a superstar.
Oh, no.
That's just Jim in the Hall of Grams but an X-man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So why are you looking at me like that?
Yeah, because that Jim in the Hall of Grams was so good, right?
I didn't say it was good.
Oh, man.
Jim in the Hall of Grams is good.
Yeah, no, there's people.
There's people that need to be pulled up from the back of the card deck,
you know, of your Marvel card masterpiece collection.
You know what I want?
My amalgam card set.
You know what I want?
I want Marvel to do like a pitch meeting and they would need to broadcast it live
so there's no cheating and somebody just brings in a stack of every Marvel card
and somebody has to just throw it and whatever lands close to the middle gets a movie.
Wolverine.
Oh, come on.
Squirrel Girl teams up with Lara and X-23 at all new Wolverine.
That's a team up in a movie.
That's pretty solid.
That they play off each other.
That becomes a Fox joint but yeah.
Because it's the Wolverine and the Squirrel.
Sure.
That's a team.
Oh, wow.
Nightcrawler could get his own movie.
Oh, he of course he could.
X-men in general are good for spin-offs but like,
but they're also not because it took Wolverine for to get it right.
Gambit still has a movie in the works.
Channing Tatum.
Sure.
It's been on and off for like years.
Oh man, I want Channing Tatum.
I want Channing Tatum's adventures.
Just, you know.
He had his own fawn on his Unlimited series.
He did.
He's eligible.
He did.
He did.
I just want Channing Tatum to just the worst Louisiana accent.
Just the absolute worst.
Watch it be he's actually from Louisiana.
Yeah.
I don't know.
But yeah, like I'm but like it's easy to grab like spin-off characters that
we're already in things but I'm really trying to I'm trying to pull like I'm
trying to see if there's like there's one there's one there that's there that
you're going to be like oh fuck that hasn't been mentioned anywhere yet.
You know what I mean?
That it's just like.
Often chose of a war I'd say Black Panther.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But then there he is.
There he is.
He's gonna say they got it.
Doctor Strange is not.
You know what you have to go into like like the annihilation wave.
You have to go into like Nihilus and like all the space stuff a little bit.
Yeah.
Right.
You can you can go there or you can go the the hell route with Mephisto and.
The satanic like Ghost Rider world without Ghost Rider.
And and and well what's your name and.
Lilith.
Illiana you know Colossus' sister.
Oh yeah.
She's super important.
She's incredibly magic.
Huge big deal.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's with her sword and shit.
Right.
Get into some of that.
She's cool.
There's there's there's there's different dimensions that Marvel can explore.
Excalibur will never be made.
The British X-Men team.
Excalibur.
Yeah.
That's or ecstatics.
It was another one.
Yeah.
X-Force.
There's so much.
Anyway.
X-Force is being made.
And and why not just throw Namor in.
Namor Namor is that guy.
Yeah.
Namor is a guy.
Namor is very important.
He's pretty big.
He's up there.
And Aquaman is going to get his own movie.
And then you just get Namor to come here and like do his own take and just shit all over.
Make fun of Aquaman but not really.
Namor.
Yeah.
That's yeah that's that's the big one.
That's a that's been completely ignored.
Yeah.
I wonder if he falls under the fantastic fourth thing like Doom does.
He ties in really tightly because of Susan.
He's totally owned by a completely different movie company than all the others by the way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No he like I remember reading up like I was looking at this fucking chart of like who the
fuck owns what.
Namor Namor is he was sold to a different movie company than all of these other.
I think I heard that back at the time.
Yeah.
Huh.
And then I believe he is still owned by that movie.
No because Marvel always had a clause where it's like if you don't make a movie within a certain
amount of time you lose the rights.
That's right.
That's how they got back the punishment.
Oh man can we get booster gold.
No wait that's not Marvel.
Shit.
No that's not Marvel with that question.
I don't know that's DC.
You don't know.
Stop that question still relevant.
Can we stop dropping chat based suggestions of DC characters.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
I would have just as bad suggestions if I wasn't looking at it.
The the like spawn but no the the spawn movie is going to get made.
Namor would be cool also because he's a complete asshole and that plays excellent.
Like I actually want a guy that's just like I'm not.
I'm not cool.
I'm not down with friendship.
Yeah.
And I got to take piss.
I got to be.
Oh jeez.
Anyway.
Yeah.
And I don't know if like what else.
So you saw you saw Thor.
Stranger things.
I haven't I haven't started it yet.
Oh I watched it until its entirety.
All I say is that it's not as tightly scripted.
It's not as intriguing as the first season.
That's unfortunate.
Regardless it's almost if not a bit more entertaining from episode to episode
where there's constantly shit happening.
There's constantly like a fun action scene.
There's always a character doing something that you're that you're into.
There's one story thread that I was like man I could do without this.
It's not really going anywhere particularly interesting.
But if you've seen all the fan art Steve Steve art is his arc is just so entertaining and so
amazing.
Like that fucking anime drawing someone did of him on Twitter all these various expressions.
I'm like there's something.
Why do I why are all my synaptic responses firing off at how awesome this looks.
Steve was yeah the go to character.
Now my only thing is is like do you for all those moments of downtime that you're feeling.
Does it that I'm not not all those moments.
There's one little story thread that I was never into everything else.
I was like yeah.
Does it does it feel like it still would have been better if they went with a whole new cast whole
new story.
I think enough stuff happened in this that I could justify this season.
I was still happy with I always wanted it to be an anthology because I hate.
I hate the what I effectively look at as the Jersey Shore returning for season two.
Type of thing where it's like the only reason why this works is because of the concept.
The characters played out an extremely important part of that.
But the concept is bigger than the actors and the characters involved here.
And that's what should travel forward with different people in different stories.
And then them and then like in the Jersey Shore bit of them going no we're famous.
We have to be there.
And it's like no not that I give a shit.
But I mean in this case with Stranger Things I really I have to watch it to obviously solidify
that.
But like a lot of the time I'm like we like this because of what is happening and the themes
and how it plays it.
Not because of who's because it's not a mystery really.
It's more of like a sci-fi adventure thing.
It's just it's called Stranger Things too.
Yeah.
So the problem is is that they set up for a third season of the same stuff.
And I'm like I don't know if there's enough gas in that tank left for me to.
And they said like by the time we get this done the kids are going to be fucking old
because voices are cracking the fuck up now.
And they said that when the third season does happen it'll most likely be a time
skip like somebody wants to have a Harry Potter.
That's Netflix.
The problem is that after a third season you can't then just jump to like another group
I feel they'll either stop or they'll do a fourth episode.
That aging thing where you have a kid.
Fuck kids stop aging.
I had I had like the weirdest thing where like a bunch of this week I was just like
whatever it was like watching hotel room TV.
You know and the there's a show on Nickelodeon called the Goldbergs I think it's this like
sitcom that's not sitcom but it's like it's almost like a wonder years type modern thing
of just goofy family.
But like I'm watching this thing of this this little kid with glasses like like nerdy kid
whatever has it has his like Kevin style adventures and misadventures.
And these are all like reruns of whatever.
And I didn't know because I'd never heard the show up until this point but I'm watching it.
And then it cuts to like a commercial for like the latest episode.
And like the kid is basically like 22.
Wow.
And it's like it's just the weirdest things like apparently it's just been around for this
long or whatever the fuck.
But like like I'm seeing imagine if you're seeing like like Arthur.
You know or Urkel Urkel season one Urkel to like to step on.
It was that moment from a shirt from like the show being on to the commercial.
I was like what the fuck.
I think I described this before Dragon Ball Z like season one was airing on YTV.
And I go and like I go to school that day.
And someone brings me a VHS from Japan which is Super Saiyan Vegeta and Goku fighting Metal Cooler.
Like I can fucking chat my parents.
No you're not ready.
Because arms are getting ripped off in that movie.
There's some fucking you know it's rough.
No you're super.
Yeah I know that sounds like a thing.
But um.
Stranger things too.
I like overall like I really enjoyed it.
But it did lose a little bit of the mystery and the intrigue from the first season.
They go into a lot.
Eleven doesn't really do anything for a long time.
She goes on her own like side quest.
But it's still really interesting and well done.
And she kind of gets reinserted into the main story thread.
But it was a little awkward.
But like overall still massively entertaining like.
But it does lose a little newness.
It does lose the newness and the mystique of the first season where you're like what's going on.
But also like the first season felt like they were doing a thing which is the 80s movies thing.
Still doing it.
And is it.
Okay so it's not fully going into its own direction.
No actually they're going on it even harder.
They show lots of movie marquis in the background to let you know what year it is.
Commercials for the.
I actually did mark out a bunch.
Nineteen nine and nine.
I did mark out because when people are flipping to the TV there's always commercials for terminator one.
Yeah.
And while that's really hamfisted I was like oh fuck imagine how exciting it was to like be
cognitive at that age.
After after Bojack's did all those time joke bits it's all ruined.
Every reference to a thing in the background is ruined forever.
I guess.
But like when it's the terminator I'm like
and terminator one too it's like special.
It's like very it's very.
Terminator one's just a fucking slasher flick.
Terminator one is a film noir slasher.
Yeah so it's just like little kids getting excited for like the murder movie.
Plus plus people I won't say which game but the kids do mark out to playing a certain game in the
arcades.
Oh man.
And I was like and an entire episode I believe is called that or something like the name of the
arcade machine.
When you go see it the movie someone the kid from Stranger Things fucking Mike isn't it
as like you know one of the not the main guy but whatever he's like yeah I didn't want to
fight this fucking clown I want to go in the arcade and play Street Fighter.
And I'm like man that's fucked up like the timelines all messed up and it's like no
they knew their shit he's playing Street Fighter one.
Oh no.
And I'm like that's amazing.
I'd rather go fight that fucking clown.
Game sucked.
Yeah but there has to have been a bit of fervor around it.
I couldn't see what cabinet he was playing.
Hit the button.
The dumb treasure plays with a six button.
Okay they hit the buttons thing that was limited release that was not popularly out there.
But it was the first release.
It was but it was super there's very few of those ever made.
Well yeah because they all got destroyed.
So nobody that was saying I want to go play Street Fighter ever got a chance on one of those.
I feel like even though they didn't show what he was playing on because there was like
the camera was inside the screen of the cabinet looking at him.
So you couldn't see what he was doing but it felt like a six the six button
variation so that's special.
But like there's certain things like if it's lost on me I don't care and I'm like
that's a dumb reference nobody cares.
But if it's the Terminator Street Fighter I'm like yeah that's the thing.
You're the problem you're like just no you don't get it.
You're like oh if it was the thing that you love most you'd still do it.
That was already in the in the fucking first episode.
There's a fucking uh a movie marquee of John Carpenter's The Thing on the
fact and fucking background like the first there you go but I'll do that too.
Matt don't you see you're the problem because you're like oh they went so hard on the 80s
things and I hated all the ones that I didn't get.
But the ones that I got those ones are the best.
But you live your life by that type of stuff.
That's the thing I hate but I love the thing I love because then it just becomes well I
guess we have to put so many in so that everyone gets what they want exactly.
Everyone gets a lick of the 80s ring.
But slowly the bell curve moves forward because the people with the older references die.
Man if Stranger Things 3 happens in 95 I'm just gonna be like oh man like let's get
all of those ridiculous inside Cuphead animation references to the 40s and you're like that's for
a crowd of people that are gone.
They are not here anymore.
Eight year olds.
Yeah um anyway uh anything else.
No it's for animation.
Um I talked about a bit last last last podcast that we were all together but um
if you're interested in the mind of a serial killer
if you like good drama like please please watch Mind Hunters on Netflix.
I finished it.
It was amazing.
I don't think you're a hero Pat when I talked about it maybe.
But it's like David Fincher you know director of Seven and it's just about when the FBI start
going we should probably interview serial killers that are arrested and find out why they do this
shit so we can stop it.
Yeah probably.
So it was just when a lot of FBI like bureaucrats were like no that's a fucking waste of taxpayers
time we arrested them that's good it's fine.
Are you serious?
Leave it.
Who could be that stupid?
In the 70s.
When uh two investigators that kind of team up and they're like let's create profiling.
Yeah.
And um it's really really interesting incredibly well acted um and all it really is is is just
building their their theories.
There's not really a story thread per se other than the main character like goes into darker
and darker places and gets obsessed with his work.
So it's a bunch of nerds doing nerd stuff but it's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah okay.
And it's just a bunch of interviews and each one gets more and more disturbing they do solve
cases along the way but uh the last episode was like very open it's it's gonna have a
second season for sure but they inter-splice this show with the beginnings of another famous
serial killer that's doing stuff completely independently no one knows what he's doing
and who he is or whatever yet but if you look at him and if you know anything about the history
of serial killers and the time frame you're like huh I wonder if that's that guy or that guy
you're like oh are they gonna bring like this dude into it and they leave it very open and
where no one even knows what this dude is they just always show like him preparing to become
the serial killer he will be and I was like that's really interesting and I was like I hope they
really like fight that guy in the second season or whatever but um I I really really recommend
it because I really like that type of stuff like the Hannibal will like way less artsy fartsy than
Hannibal but um sounds like sounds like Hannibal and um um what should I call it the uh the other
one uh zodiac no cop cop true detective yeah yeah it's it's more akin to true it sounds like those
things open the door for like it's true detective these shows to get green light but in an FBI like
so they're more like beholden by rules and regulations and shit there's a lot of bureaucratic
mumbo jumbo they're going on where you can't do this you can't say that don't redact that word holy
shit and it's like the tiniest thing tiniest detail of the of the process they have to go through
to like get funding to get like the okay to do this type of shit is the interesting bits of the show
like there's lots of interesting bits but yeah that's that's the last thing I kind of watched
anyone play any games yeah what games did you play I played marvel why because because a bunch of
leaks happened that got excited well two things a bunch of leaks happened and two snacks was over
at my house I don't want to complain if those leaks turn out to be fake and I was like super pissed off
no hey guess what you won't hear me complaining Maxwell because it's his fault he did the leaks
he did not leaks that he did a video literally reddit did it was off of our kappa
and then read it yeah you can wind it is perfect you couldn't control yourself
whatever it's a good game it is it's a shit game yeah but it's a good game it is uh also hung out
with two snacks for a bit which was weird because two snacks is here he just showed up yeah and he's
here and you know what else is weird about two snacks he's got perfect english he's extremely tall
fit and handsome yep it's not what I expected okay I guess he's a big hot guy hopefully I'll find
from Brazil with great english and a cool accent and it's weird I feel like a gremlin next to that
man yeah I took him out for breakfast and the first thing I asked him is what do you think
a Montreal and he goes uh oh yeah there's lots of construction yeah he did like that's the first
thing he did the same thing with me he's like everything is broken it's under construction
it's like okay I love that's that's the first thing he's been to Vancouver he's been to Toronto
and he's like why why is the city not finished yeah I'm like I don't know because they leave it
till the winter and then it snows on it and they have to do it over yeah oh yeah I played marvel
hey marvel's good monster hunter's a great character like makes me really jerked off last
podcast about her I know she's really great she's really cool and I really want she's really
strong I want those is she yeah yeah she's quite good she's yeah that the the the the demon power
up demon mode is yeah because well even like like I was getting a lot of fun out of just doing her
uh I forget but it's the great sword swing that just eats everything yeah and just like yeah I took
a bunch of damage ah yeah oh I want to play more marvel like I want to actually play a fighting
game for once in a long time it's really hard to like stop thinking about it once you're once
you're in the middle of the lake when you're in the in the trenches and you're like trying to
figure out your tag systems and because it's it's very unlike every other tag game before it you
when you're playing properly at least are tagging non-stop you're you're not controlling one character
playing neutral and then switching to another you're actively controlling two characters
pretty much simultaneously and like a couple seconds go by you try because because the idea of
like tagging makes everything you do safe so why would you not just constantly do it and then
you of course you risk getting happy birthday but um it's and it because of that because of that
constant controlling two people at the same time thing it's just fun and new and you don't
like no no other game has really delivered that so it's I'm like constantly thinking about I wonder
if I could try this I wonder if I can try that I have so far to go like I turned off the auto
combo and all of a sudden it's like oh oh okay I'm I'm struggling to get like bread and butters
into fucking launchers like go check out some videos for the people you like you know I know I
need the basics I need how to do jab jab basic yeah yeah uh I mean I need basic shit for babies
I mean the answer is training mode but but the real answer is like yeah you gotta jump on YouTube
and check out some resources and honestly just watching people play is as any other just like
any other game unless you're you're planning to be an innovator which I doubt you are not me
go no I'm a copier go watch some videos I'll steal somebody else's thing yeah that's a good way to
do it everyone who ever became great did so by stealing everything around them shoulders of giants
yep steal that giant's shoulders steal right on now you've got giant shoulders steal that
shit I also played a bunch of destiny too which came out on pc a little while ago boy that game is
like a like you know how like games get a pc port you're like oh it's better like no this is this is
a big deal the game is substantial like weapon balance is different on pc even with a controller
because the higher frame rate is such a big deal for the the aiming model that they have
um it's a hell of a lot better than destiny one before you jump off though I wanted to say
how about that reality stone reality stone do you mean the real reality stone the real one the real
one you catch that that's yeah we yeah we caught it that's some crazy shit oh boy in fact dare I say
that shit's a little bit too crazy because I feel which was it again the reality stone
in the in the um marvel tournament battle for the stones uh marvel vs capcom thing oh my god
the last one we talked like I i'm gonna fuck up your team uh no that's the mind stone that's mine
right okay so the the latest one was revealed as reality and that is I get to set three of your
buttons yes and to me that's going too far because that's because it's like world physical
well it changes so the whole thing is the whole what it does is it changes the feeling of this
from being like it's a goofy but still real tournament into this is a complete farce yeah
yeah and and sort of the reason why is because every other consequence even the the I pick your
team for you you can plan for you can still play the video game yeah at the end of the day
you can play it it's going to be hard and ridiculous but oh I've got obstacles but are not
like no like you know what I mean like you're driving a car and your gas pedal is there and your
brake is there and you have a steering wheel the moment you're like nah dude the gas pedals back
here now you know like you're like okay well that's not a race anymore yeah you know let me choose a
shitty car right do weird things to my car if you must but at least let me drive my my favorite
suggestion which I believe is actually impossible was to map start to like jab sure and just cause
instant disqualifications or put tag on options so that you have to reach around oh that's great
do that yeah so you reach around the stick to the for the most basic important function like no
you know oh well I have a quick question for marvel uh for the for your button layout what
where do you have tag and uh tag is hard punch and stone is hard kick okay thanks um that's what I do
but yeah I was having trouble having the those reverse all good out of shot but uh no I feel
like they uh should keep these rules or should have kept these rules to like playing with the pools
playing with the bracket playing with the tournament playing with the tournament structure
itself and like that's where the shenanigans come in I feel that like getting into gameplay
character picks all right you know that's that's like the next level that's but that's the hard
limit yeah buttons is way too goofy I I would actually like
I agree with you to a degree even though I love the way I love how stupid the gimmick is
but I think that it should have all been one or the other so I think that if
if they wanted to do stuff like that fucks the physicality of the go all in that it they all
needed to be physical impediments such as yeah the reality stone is at some point in your match
someone's gonna throw a glass of cold water in your face well that's what me and what they were
saying last time we were like okay now we're doing farcical like our own bullshit like you web
someone up with duct tape yeah yeah yeah on their seat and like that's that's where your tournament
becomes a joke but like the the the like the closest thing to a version of what like the reality
stone that I can imagine that I'd be like again that's a hard limit is like you uh your stick is
replaced with a controller or vice versa that's where you're like that's if you don't know if
you're not good enough on both then that's a challenge or whatever oh here's one for the
space stone you have to sit like eight feet back from the setup that's you're in a box
now there's a tiny window in your box to look at everyone's ideas are better than the power stone
sometimes your your your fucking controller just gets unplugged and then re-plugged in but it's not
a dq no no what would be no somebody punches you uh punch you in the shoulder yeah and the shoulder
gives you a good charlie horse right in the middle of the match yeah yeah uh no so that's what it is
the button the button mapping is like it's too much it's too much it's too much um I want to see the
I want to see I'm so desperate so while I admit that it is stupid I am now like desperate to see
the grand finals for that fucking tournament because they're going to be 3v3 with those
like if if the person gets a power stone mind stone and reality stone fuck yeah and that's
someone gets a stone are they exempt from trying at the next tournament to get another yeah you can't
you like right now in the preliminaries phases but you can't have two stones but in the final
in we'll be able to get other yes okay in the in the in the final bracket you can take the stones
of people if you beat someone that has a stone yeah okay that's that's fair so moving forward
no one dies and and is holding on to a stone that they haven't used type of thing you know
like it'll always be used yeah um and and now and and you saying that you want to you got to see that
is like that's exactly the point yeah right so they know that this is happening during the capcom
part and people are going to be watching should find her but people are going to be watching
marvel to see this goofy shit I think there's a place spectacle I think there's a place in the
it's the primary place for real competition but I wish like I would love for goofy officially
sanctioned but goofy idiot tournaments to also go along alongside them the problem is who's going
to put money into that long term money you know what I mean cool people this is pushing a new
product that they just released at the end of the day so any other games yeah uh destiny's great
well it's not great it's good it's it's especially good when you're playing it with people that you
know uh played a little bit or watched uh watched page play sonic forces on stream which is did you
play sonic forces I played 30 minutes of it and I uninstalled it oh so you bought on pc
I know I bought on ps4 dude it's it's the worst so why is it why is it so divisive in terms of
why is divisive in the sense I saw the Liam saying that it was really disappointing but it was great
for old sonic fans and speedrunners and shit I couldn't walk it was rolling my what I what I
want to know is yeah because I think I asked you this last time but it's like why is there a pushback
in terms of uh some people at least on my twitter yeah saying like that it's not that bad because
sonic fans because 3d 3d sonic because 3d sonic fans but if you are tired of you remember how
unleashed was it's just unleashed where it's just the auto watch qtes press buttons in the air it
hasn't really changed and that's kind like when you have other platformers like mario odyssey
or you know the timing was so unfortunate time or stuff that's actually kind of pushing
things and making a little bit open it's fucking archaic where it's still doing the 360 like hey
look you're gonna do a cool jump press xpaa and do a grind or whatever uh the main kind of things I
see is that the level design is actually much more poorer than sonic generations and stuff like when
you actually get a good sonic generations was considered good 3d right yes it was yeah I mean
I had my own problems with it but those are specific I can't stand it but I I would put it at the top
of the ones I can't stand yeah but it seems like the main thing is that when a level just starts
to get going the levels are actually like they're crazy short they've ever been like there are sub
two minutes some of them they're they're they're so short the the music doesn't even have time to
catch up to certain things so there's that stuff and there's other stuff like a lot of people I
saw were saying that 2d sonic is actually useless oh yeah there's no real point to 2d sonic being
in there so probably probably the most baffling thing and the most disappointing thing to me
was the story which is kind of a stupid thing but they they built it up like oh man it's
old sonic you're oc it's like your oc is like a a stupid footnote
nameless nobody cares he's called the rookie um well the way the that sounds good no but like
the way the story is told is both hyper serious and like incredibly exciting and then the next
sentence coming out of someone's mouth will just invalidate everything that they said so like
um fucking sonic one of the first things that happened you gotta go rescue sonic new
guys gotta go rescue sonic he's been on the death egg being tortured daily by egg man for six months
okay okay so then you go okay no wait let me back up the first thing is I can't believe sonic's
fucking dead we all saw sonic get fucking murdered by infinite he's dead then you you can start and
a cut scene starts where knuckles goes sonic's alive you gotta rescue him he's been been tortured
for six months by egg man then you go get sonic in in one of the shortest levels in the whole
game which is like 90 seconds and sonic's just chilling in his thing he's like boy I sure am sick
of being tortured come on and let me out and he's completely normal and fine there's tonal
like contrasting story elements it's the weirdest fucking thing I didn't get to that type of stuff
really that much but like I read that in a lot of it happens over and over and over and it's it's
so fucking weird the fact that mania was only a few months ago also makes this look way worse oh
yeah mania's a triumph or this is a well you have to just yeah and in that in that bionic
gar commando way I suppose yeah the idea is to just separate the two and and say this is this and
that is that here's the problem you can't separate the two because sonic forces is a sequel to sonic
mania really the final the like super emerald ending of sonic mania is that you follow the
phantom ruby into a different dimension and the phantom ruby is what gives infinite all this powers
wow I didn't know there was a connection that yeah that's why that's why that's why sonic
from 2d is there at all but also he doesn't speak or do anything and he just hangs out with tails
and tails like boy we gotta stop it it's like it's fucking good as a shit see so no you can't
separate them it's a direct sequel huh well uh I mean I've been playing sonic mania and
that thing's perfect yeah yeah it sure is isn't it it's astonishing that game actually even gets
better the more you play it although one thing that is uh the one the one thing that is different
about it is is uh they've like some of it is more challenging than 2d sonic is oh absolutely
ever without doubt it has to be yeah it totally has to be they gave you the new power that is the
the the the spin drop yeah which I it took me the whole game to actually figure out yeah um because
I was doing it wrong the whole time yeah I think you think it's jump and hold and press down and
and spin yeah no it's not just double tap and hold um but like because of that sonic's way
more mobile and powerful so that it ramps it up to accommodate but the levels are also like three
four five times bigger than the levels are the levels are all bigger which is like I which I
always wanted which is like don't end this so soon I want to keep running they're enormous but you
don't like and but there's been like the moments where you you're doing like these massive stretches
of speed like are interrupted very quickly where it's like okay no now now back to gameplay like
you're not just going to enjoy this cutscene of rolling yeah now do this like relatively
difficult platforming at high speeds and then there's yeah and then there's like three or four
different pathways here there's like that one boss in in um um uh uh what the second area uh
in casino polis or the second the first uh unique area it's the anyway you're the
synopsis when you're on the road and the missiles are coming yeah that's tough and it's so all and
I'm like what is weird about this that is giving me a problem and it's because the jump physics
completely change for that scene because you're running and you can't just jump over a missile
that's coming at you you just don't have the momentum yeah it has it has it has like what I
would call it but all the physicists in that game are right like they're correct but in a lot of
sonic areas you don't actually spend a lot of time in the run state jump physics it's not you
you only you only feel that when you're doing stuff like uh uh blowing through like green hill zone
and you're using like the ring boxes to catapult yourself right right right yeah um but they made
a boss fight around that movement and it's it's tough like like that thing was such a weird moment
because I was like okay so a basic obstacle is coming at me very slowly and I'm can't I'm unable
to just jump over it I'm like okay so then you have to wait till there's grooves in the road to give
you yeah you know a little bit of a jump but then those grooves are randomly kind of coming and
there's just little things like that you're like uh this is not just a free ride no you know um so
it's a video game you know it's a free ride sonic forces sure that's a free ride yeah except in the
platforming areas where you did you have where you just have death dude and you have nothing to do
with your skill you have the slowest acceleration in that game right up until you're you have the
acceleration like your character goes it's the worst you know how um mario games now basically
they have two audiences to cater to the people that have been playing them forever for their entire
lives and then you play them so you always have the easy levels and then eventually there's the
really challenging ones at the end yeah it feels like you know sonic mania was made just for the
fans that were always there well what what it actually does is that there is uh mania or forces
he's talking mania okay mania does have this awesome thing that was kind of in the old games
but it's like there is that there is an in-game difficulty selector yeah and it's did you fall
down the stage okay the bottom of the stage is easier than the top of the stage oh really yeah
interesting i didn't know that okay yeah and there's also lives but there's a save so your
lives don't matter you know technically yeah anyway um uh speaking more platformers i just
want to quickly uh mario odyssey probably maybe my game of the year i'm not sure yet uh played a
shitload of it just a lot of feels a lot of like oh my god that was so fun oh my god okay yeah like
there's two specific sections you've been in the game maybe um you know but there's two specific
sections where i'm like oh my god i am so happy okay type things and and usually mario games have
kind of like like galaxy not so much galaxy was this general like slope of like yeah but like
the mario odyssey is weird where it's like it's just kind of generalized fun and then there's these
two spikes okay that i'm just like oh my god this or and there's like sub spikes or whatever
finding those fucking power moons is awesome dude there's so many there's so many um uh so that
that's been really fun i i i played a lot of that on the um 2017 what are we playing mario and sonic
mario and sonic uh but i also played a bunch of ass creed origins as well i'm sure i did uh
really really surprised with how much i'm just like right now i'm kind of like my my knee shaking
because i i got to get that mission done i got to get home soon type thing um where i really like
baek the is is is probably one of the better so the best thing about baek is the or baek rather
is that he's not an etio and he's not an edward he is a very very different character that is awesome
and he's not a connor well i want to hear that he's not an anybody he is he's he's a he's his own
guy he is like egyptian like hank hill assassin like he's a cool dad hank hill's not that cool
the dad baek baek is a cool dad who loves his wife okay okay yeah right like his wife holy
shit his wife is so gonna be the dlc character i i got to her not too long ago and i was like oh my
god this character is so awesome but just just in general like because i skipped out on unity and
syndicate and because of the small changes to make this there are big changes in this game well
there are small in theory but they're they're lasting effects like the the ability to like
just level your character the ability that that quest is very western rpg where like you can do
this quest whenever you want it's witchery is shit man but you have to be level 20 to do it
i'm like level 14 i attempted to do the anubis like timed quest which willy i think you've
been gone when they announced it but it's like for a certain period of time like a week they'll be
like fight anubis it's a giant dumb boss fight i saw the cuts you did the trailer okay but this is a
giant dumb boss fight that will occur on your map go to it you should be level 40 which is the cap
which is the cap i just started playing the game i'm on level 13 and i you know like you know what
i think i know oh god dude can't do it the is there is there an explanation for why he's an
animus it's an animus glitch okay and it has manifested in the form of the god anubis if you
beat anubis you get the anubis armor set yeah which is not available in the store yeah okay speaking
of the store yeah i'm like fuck this store and then i'm in an encampment where i'm like
i really really really could use like a poison dart right about now i'm too i need the ability
points i don't got them so i go in i buy the i buy the the base amount of helix points to to buy
those two ability points to get it and i completed the mission really really easily there are so many
ability points in that game they got you around there is but i wasn't because i was in the middle
of a stealth encampment i wanted to shake my head someone was in your way sorry loot box master
see those are cosmetics yeah someone was in your way you also bought cosmetics you bought the
the money not nearly as much as you yeah well yeah but i'm oh sorry and and and i'm a sick well well
you can get a hot you can get a mummy's alive costume which is like you literally got a red
burning eye and you can fuck up cut scenes by making out you're with your wife it's a it's a
like a cosmetic bonus type of thing it's it's it's cosmetic i don't think it has any stat
changes or whatever but yeah the costumes are all purely yeah uh regardless i'm really really
enjoying the game uh i have i have seen zero bugs not to say that they're not bugs in there
but i have had the least like bug free assassin's creed experience in my life i'm playing it on
the pc and it's a fantastic pc port aside from some cpu optimization but also i have seen one bug
ever and it was my favorite bug of all time really it's the red dead bug where the fucking feet of
the oxen gets stuck underneath the world oh wait i saw that but it was a actually never mind it was
a hippopotamus that was dead but floating above the ground that was it no but the you know the famous
red dead bug where the it would cause the horse drawn carriages to fly in a fucking space yeah
because the the horse's feet would spawn underneath the geometry yeah i saw that happen once with a
with an ox drawn cart and i was like that's my favorite bug in video it's my favorite one it's
good uh and it didn't fly off it just kind of reset itself normally and that was like oh but um yeah
that's that's the only thing i saw a hippopotamus kind of floating above the ground a little bit
but uh yeah i'm really really enjoying the game like i'm like i going forward it's like
i don't want to play a new assassin's creed next year no i want them to take the time and make
another one of these because this is it this is also made in case not your if you weren't aware
willy this is made by the core black flag team yep that is it yeah but i've been working on this
since black flag well i thought they were working on skull and bones i think that's someone else
okay i i've just read an interview is that it's like yeah it's the core team that made black flag
i there's a lot there's a lot of people so there's thousands it could it could literally be both of
these probably my my like most this core team and then the rest i remember i'm pretty sure because
i remember thinking when i was crossing the desert going like their last game was nothing but water
and this game is nothing but land land and there's a good amount of water yeah and there's
there's a big part of water up at the top of the map that's just so you can do boat missions
nice okay i didn't go there yet because i played about like seven hours of it i'm like yeah yeah
i want to want to play more and the last kind of thing for games at least um is that uh i was
unreasonably excited for doom on the switch yeah what up i don't know i bought a physical copy and
i was just like yeah let's just let me boot it up and after the mandatory uh seven gig
patch totally destroying the the reason why you bought a physical copy in the first not totally
yeah but it saved me space but whatever i got a i got a micro sd card that like i got a 200
gig thing so that that's a lot of stuff but like i pop that in and man that doesn't look as good as
every other version and man it doesn't perform as well but it's still doom 2016 and it's still
fast it's still responsive and i tore through the first two levels and i was like yeah i will
boot this up whenever i am i want a quick session on the plane but like if you only own a switch
or you really really like how can i like get it but like otherwise it's nice that arcade mode is
just there but i mean it's there and i didn't know how in depth arcade mode really was where it takes
out all cutscenes no no it's it's it's just levels oh yeah and i was like whoa i didn't know that
because i never booted up i was like eventually when i heard that the switch is going to get a
pour is going to get arcade mode and i was like oh i'll go through arcade mode there feels like it
would be really not fun on joy cons uh when handheld mode i was totally after like 10 minutes i was
like yeah no i'm doing it but a lot of reviews i read it's just like if you're going to play a
dock like yeah just get out the pro controller it's it's better that way yeah any game that's
asking that much of you input wise i feel like you just grab the control the main deal with that
is that uh the base game on the base difficulties actually is kind of marvelous in terms of its
performance amazing but uh the higher difficulties add more enemies yeah and uh digital foundry
showed some videos off of like what does the what do levels look like when you have the max
amount of enemies on and it's it's poor yeah it's like sub 20 in a lot of places it's still though
you're looking at it and it's still like wow what a technical fucking achievement i think it was a
another developer that ported it to the switch i think it's called uh panic button i'm like they
must have been slamming the panic button the entire time like how are we doing this how are we doing
this fucking answer is an incredibly aggressive uh adaptive resolution yeah yeah which kicks the
game down to like 480p something like that at its lowest level yeah but i mean like the the main
thing to it is that it's still fast and like it was for me up until i didn't play on the highest
difficulty but for me it was like a rock solid 30 and i really honestly didn't it didn't feel bad at
all like it felt fine because 30 locked is always fine yeah it's fine at at at the most as long as
long as you have good frame pacing it's fine yeah i appreciate the brands becoming self aware and
nintendo bandai and doom all talking to each other having a sleepover they're all a thing that's a
weird man um this this age of this age of twitter brands being like affable is is happening well
we're a twitter brand and we're very affable but but our twitter itself is just a robot yeah that's
the brand yeah robot it's a robot if we if we started answering from it and and be that would
fuck people up it would be really weird okay so we're just personal brands then yeah yeah

slash friendcast with the promo code friendcast thanks guys thanks look great thank you you were
saying american horror story yes you were i went to a venue in in florida that was just all about
that so like girls on on stilts doing the creepy like circus shit and it was just really really
that one weirdo from fury road that was in the dead zone there was a clown guy running around
with like a noise box that made this high-pitched scream and he would like throw it in your ear
and stuff great but that you know once or twice but still had an amazing time for my anniversary
there and uh unfortunately i don't remember a lot of it i think i i said this in a video that maybe
an evil within that we did where i'm like i don't uh missing blocks of time yeah actually because
it was free open bar and it was free food well they had the giant turkey legs they had it like the
turkey legs that from i'm just like yeah turkey legs and then i lost turkey legs is the last thing
i kind of remember uh-huh and the other thing i remember is being kicked out of an uber where
the guy was like why'd you throw up and i'm like because i fucking drank god that's it's halloween
that's a bad answer oh boy but he asked me why i did that's why you should have opened the window
just like a just like get the side of that when you're when you're far gone you're far gone honestly
you don't remember right so maybe you tried to open the window what was in your way but strangely
that's when you're fucking with the guy's business man that's his office anyway it's like i threw up
on this mixer guess guess what will he charge us $150 yeah didn't give us a bad rating just charges
$150 oh that's fair fine yeah that sounds that sounds fair but he showed a picture of the damage
and there's like this one spot of moisture and i'm like that doesn't look like $150 but whatever
your rating is worth it uh i somehow made my way to a shower and got cleaned up and i don't remember
doing that yeah and my wife doesn't remember me doing that because she was helping the the fucking
guy and the next day i was just like yeah i feel fine was yeah because you got rid of all of it
it all came out i guess so that's how that works i was just wait when you when you empty the contents
of your stomach i was just assuming i'd feel like shit tomorrow just like a headache when you get
so wasted i know this somehow when you get so wasted that your memory goes and part of that memory
is bleh everywhere you you feel great that because you sleep great and get you get it all whatever's
in your liver is all that's left in your body i guess and and and and yeah and i mean so so this
is one of those then it's the experience where you learn your limits and you know your threshold
and then you never go like you never go past them again right the turkey leg was so awesome
yeah and then and then now that you know your limits you never go past them again right dancing
that does it because both times i've i'm hearing you get sandbags super hard because you're super
totally know where your limits are now and you're never gonna exceed them because you know where to
stop right it's been like twice in as many years like how you do when you're a teenager right yes
great but it's the combination of drinking eating and dancing dancing is the third one
it's the third one dancing is always what makes me do it because everything's
washing around in my tummy oh boy it's real bad but it didn't stop me from oh man wallastows in
florida i got a cinnamon vanilla cinnamon vanilla lucky charms and uh god what was it hot cocoa
cocoa puffs the newest cereals and i saw some candy cane or something like that that was that
was today okay so i picked those up which i needed is ammunition because the other day i went to
montreal cereal bar barley that has lots of other stuff like coffee and salads and whatever
but i went there with two snacks and liam and some people and they have exotic um exotic uh
usa cereals and before we got there we're looking at the menu we're like okay so how is this gonna
happen you can mix four cereals together which is which i did and woolly we we all know the meat
sweats yeah yeah i got the cereal sweats yeah that's bad we're after the four cereals
in a standard size bowl i was like whoo yeah whoo well you're eating like a
fist full of sugar man yeah so i i i walked home and i bought some things and i was just working
out up like a hell because i'm reading them like what do you do when you're like oh shit
cereal about to go to a diabetic sugar it's like work out dude work fucking out but uh
before i ate any there i uh i was talking to like a guy i just thought was a server
and he was like yeah no i'm the owner i'm like oh okay cool cool cool and there's this giant um
board room that's in this restaurant that's a big glass thing and a giant like you know when you
get talked to for verbal warnings of course bug testing yeah he has this big glass room and he's
like oh yeah i'm also like a pr company and and shit i have this and then i look out on the
restaurant as i do my other business here i'm like cool cool cool hey have you seen these cereals
and i took out the picture of the vanilla cinnamon lucky charms he's like whoa and i'm like yeah yeah
i have a couple more and he's like yeah yeah yeah and i'm like yeah i want to i want to do a show
where i review cereals he's like you can film it here you can film it here so the connection
has been made a fucking predator handshake and he's like you're into cereals dude and i'm like i
am and so are you and he's like i'm fucking and it was just amazing this is the business deal that
will kill Matt how are your toes doing toes are doing fine because you like them so for a serial
review show you get you need to have one spoonful okay that's yeah but what about what about the
after-party the after-serial part the after-serial because uh uh because i can't remember it because
we have cereal and booze the after hours you dance and sloshes around that's how it works
if if if if something was to be filmed at this at this venue which is very very nice if you're in
muncher all i suggest you go because they have much to you okay there you seem to have owned yourself
i'm our our office isn't currently ramp friendly it'll have to take a minute
oh man to make those renovations i'll be fine let me ask you do you drink just when you're when
you're mostly done cereal do you drink the milk that's left afterwards um if there's a lot no
if there's a little bit sure yeah because like i did that once and i felt like like that's it's too
much it's i all jokes aside like it's really good but all jokes aside uh like on a daily basis when
i eat cereal i don't actually eat oh hell no you can't i eat rice krispies or krispex or i eat
something with incredibly low sugar yeah no you die yeah because i have all the sugary cereals
stocked up yeah for such a show no when you're a young energetic you know like bright young boy
then you have all that sugar energy to burn yeah later years you don't have all that to burn you
know it's funny when i have couch and controller energy to burn also at this place they have saturday
morning cartoons playing every day oh that's just the fucking cherry on top they had duck tails and
inspector gadget playing on the screen so that was a very nice touch barley it's called very fun anyway
okay cool um i uh played a couple things uh while i was doing some scream learning uh
yes i heard you scream before last and yeah that was uh that was fun that was a really
interesting i saw you looking prim and proper it was uh over at montreal esports which is the new
building that's opened up on like pretty much central samara like yeah i know i walk by every day
and um and it's uh yeah basically like they're it used to be a party shop yeah so it's a really
fancy office now all glass walls everywhere type thing and uh george st pier recent ufc victor
over michael disping and who played bar talk the leaper in captain america winter soldier
that too perhaps his number one achievement maybe ufc being somewhere in the distant third yeah
maybe uh he was uh yeah he basically has his esports team that he's making um so a bit like
how echo fox you know is is set up like athlete gets into the esports game uh gsp is getting into
the it as well and so the first grizzly inductee winner of that tournament was uh chy rithy
henry shocker well uh if you haven't been following it actually is because really yeah yeah because
Street Fighter 5 is a very different game now and lots of new names lots of new threats and it's
whatnot but it was a really it was a really cool thing um so congrats to him for that sponsored
by by gsp he can now say that he's not impressed with people's performances great and he's allowed
to get out yeah yeah he can pull that off now esports and uh yeah and it is also nice because
you have to embrace the fact that like man if you want to go anywhere fgc you have to basically be
you have to get over that esports thing well where's that leaf flow
ah flow g sad he's gonna be on twitch he's gonna be doing his angry streams with honzo
gonzo it'll be fine um anyway uh so yeah there's that um i uh what else did i do i so yeah around
that time had to go take care of family things and i was out for a bit uh but during that time i was
um i played i finished off metroid 2 yeah and uh that is a really fun remake boy oh boy because
you kind of bounce around between saying i like it and you're like i'm not sure about that changer
so you know what it is it's that it's what you end up having is just like when you're you know
you're so you see something and you're like this is different yeah this is not what i'm used to
it's different yeah it's different and it's like yeah it is and then at the end it was like all
right you know what no that was fine so so it finished strong finishes very strong cool finishes
with uh a really really awesome sequence that you know isn't very metroid like and also is not
what you know because there's no there's no shine spark in the game it's metroid 2 you know what i
mean like you're you're fighting you're going off to fight the queen and whatever and stuff but
but like the powers you do get are um like like i said they're impeccable and yeah i think my single
like besides the actual shine spark my single like favorite like power up of any metroid game ever
is the one introduced into this game um it's a new i've heard about right to it is and is it is yeah
i don't know what it is but i've heard multiple so you get what you get in the game is you get a
couple of different um like passive power ups right sure right and like you can you set them on
dependent the user energy meter and like one of them is like just like an armor shield yeah yeah
it's the green shield one of them is a uh time stop time slow so that it lets you get past areas
that you otherwise wouldn't be able to the door coming down have tons of enemies use slow down
and move and it uses that bar one of them is map uncover which is a chunk to just do a radar you
know that's great and unchunk a square a chunk of map and it's like that's super useful and then
the final one is it turns samus's gun into an automatic okay and you just hold button and
problem solved problem solved problem solved it's amazing and it feels good and it's just
is that that's the last ability yet that's the that's because yeah it is yeah and it is that's
amazing because that's what you need to want to clean up anything you haven't gotten dude leading
up to the last fight you can when you're when you're when you're when you're doing yeah when
you're doing like uh when you're shooting through like all walls and whatnot you have your your
best version of the gun and everything yeah well not like you just absolutely melt any room you run
into and it's fucking great uh super super cool so um bruh bruh tata tata tata is the sound of
samus now yeah but but anyway no metro two really good remake uh mercury steam good job guys you
did it it finally did a completely unarguable good job uh most frustrating and annoying thing about
it is again the fact that it's on the fucking 3ds well and here's happy to resell it to you in eight
years on the switch i hope we can get a proper game that is 2d on the switch please i know prime
was four is coming but we also could use one of these that'd be nice anyway uh so yeah just you
know a lot of time just you know killing time with darkest dungeon and and um finding a vizek
back and forth and whatnot but i mentioned sonic mania before as well yeah um so and i guess uh
yeah i guess i'll the only one thing i'll mention is i picked up drop mix are you familiar with
drop drop mix now drop mix is the new game from harmonics and it is half card game half uh like
music a mobile game which is super not in the wheelhouse of our discussion but here's what it is is uh
you have you basically you download an app right and then you have a board and the board
lets you play cards on these slots each slot is um either vocals bass drums lead okay you know
rhythm and so on and and you play a card game or you can just freestyle it where you play the cards
down of different points and different values and it creates mixes on the fly and it sounds
incredible that sounds like it would be a nightmare to actually get that working properly
and you it's it is almost impossible to make something that sounds bad i bet you i can i promise
you it's really hard i don't think you understand there's mixes that don't go as well as others
but they all come together really well and the whole thing is based on the fact that
whatever you put down first pretty much sets the bpm yeah sure and everything else is going to
match that yeah that makes sense right and then when you and then certain cards are like certain
songs are like and they're all like real current songs and whatnot you know and and certain tracks
will remix everything and like up and then speed it up to that song's uh uh uh bpm and and key
it's hard to describe you really just have to get it by sort of seeing it in action
but i promise you it's a ton of fun and it's not a rhythm game it's a music game okay um
okay i guess uh uh uh yeah i really highly recommend it um the like at first it felt like
the there's a bit too many rules on the versus mode and that i just kind of want to have fun
being a dj right and whatnot but then after getting into it and and really paying attention
to the rules and harmonics has done a couple streams to explain how this card game version
of it works it's quite in depth and and well thought out and uh yeah if you haven't heard
of or seen what they've been working on it's fucking harmonics drop drop mix right it's
harmonics they know what the fuck they're doing they're not going to get into a card game thing
unless they've done some research and like this game is uh liam and uh and tom have been uh
posting a bit about it actually and yeah um look into it honestly it's a super fun music game
that they just put out on and it's great for like you can do a 1v1 2v2 or like party mode
you know a whole room gets in that type of thing uh so this actually reminds this is this might feel
off topic but you talking about this game reminds me because you were looking at divinity 2 right
i was i bought it uh did you play any of it you make character not yet so there's part of the
character creation process that i forgot to mention that you would really really appreciate
the final thing that you choose during your character creation and it's per character
like per person um you choose what instruments are used for all of that character's character
moments oh nice so uh like the quest acceptance or quest completion or you know big moment for
your character you can choose from like a piccolo or like a spanish guitar or like a i think a
shamisen and all these these fucking things oh my god yeah i'm really sick excuse me um that's
awesome that's a really unnecessary oh it's so unnecessary and you even get to like you as you
choose in the menu the main menu music changes to fit it nice yeah um yeah so uh uh yeah this thing
is like like i feel like uh uh the best way i was like when i when i showed it to my girlfriend like
you just kind of like turn it on and hand them a deck of cards and then they go uh what and then
you put a card into a glowing box and then the thing starts playing you go okay and then you
put another one and it's like oh hey yeah and then you can and then you do things like and then i
grab another card and i put it on top of the first card and then the mix goes down and you're like oh
that works shit and then so you're like whoa and then it plays the new top layer in and whatnot
and like and then you can pull things off and it always does it to the beat as well because it
knows when the transition should occur and such so it really does make it like uh you can be
incompetent and still make something you know pretty sounds perfect for me and uh yeah you can save
your mixes and such there was there was a a petty arcade comic about it that i went back and i read
that it's the whole thing about remember we're talking about the crabs on with like playing games
for fun versus playing for the experience that's right for playing for the uh the experience of
beating it rather yeah so some of that is fighting the game versus experiencing the game right so
what was you know like taiko's like if we stop here we will have created the perfect song this is
like a religion of music and we can just quit and enjoy this and he's like nah fuck you i'm here to
win you know type of thing because that's that's what's happening but what is fun as well as that
like cards of like lower value have like are more mellow and cards of higher value are like
bombastic and higher tempo yeah so and and the cards of higher value beat out the lower tempo
so every time you play like a oh shit moment the music in the room reflects that moment because
you're like ah fuck you i just took over this is like a fucking crazy future game that i would not
have expected so soon well if you you're you've been to japan i have you've been to those arcades i
have did you go up to the top floor yes i did you saw the card games i did then you've seen there was
not a single person there using them so i did oh well i guess you were not there when they were
you were there when they were at school yeah something but if you were there and after school
hours you'd be seeing tons of kids playing their card games on what we should have here
which is like you know your your fucking any card game has the um uh nfc chips in them or whatever
or i or our or yeah and then you just drop it on the thing and then you get to experience your
fucking monster rancher battles and whatnot um so that's been going on there for a while and like
this is the first i guess like big push thing here i've seen like it uh though oh i think just like
harmonics to use an idea that was big in japan but then make it for us yeah no really think about it
yeah basically but they did a good job they do a good job didn't okay joe anyway um news shall we
shall we there's some fucking weird there's some weird news actually there's one weird news i saw
this morning i was like fuck you that's fake and then it wasn't fake and i was like what the
fuck there's more weird news than even that oh man all right well i mean start with news let's start
with new but i guess we can we can go in order of gravity um okay gravity to announce which
one's closest to the earth that'd be the heaviest so which one's this oh yeah yeah so hey everybody
skip forward to yeah when you're watching the unjustice two fighter pack three reveal skip forward
to 40 not 50 yeah 55 skip forward to 55 seconds get out of here adam and i don't know who the
fuck that is oh that's enchantress who gives a shit forward to 55 seconds oh my god and enjoy
the the the rafael oh man there's a ninja turtle and everyone's like i will enjoy rafael is that
melina oh yeah that's what that's why they did that you have a half second yeah yeah oh man the
fucking reaction of people at an injustice event when this was revealed no no so that was sejam and
tasty steve and those dudes are they're a fucking they're the they're the best they're like they're
the commentators alongside um uh ultra ultra chen and um how how ultra david and and david chen um
but i will for like what is it is it strikers uh special moves each one comes out
nah man six characters well i always try but how to try board work again i forget no no no so it's
gonna be it's gonna be a generic turtle and then you're going to equip uh you mean like any of
the turtles it's gonna no it's gonna be like a there's a there's a generic turtle and then you equip
the accessories that turn them into the other turtle the turtle that you because because of the gear
element and yeah i guess so you have like a turtle template basically so um that was super cool
and um i'm glad when things happen where like sometimes the winds blow in your direction and
you go huh yeah a familiar wind yeah a good wind i'm glad that this wind came my way and but
and i somehow knew this wind would come i was i was waiting for this wind and here it is i will
say this there's something that kenny uh from yo video games talks about where he's like i love
injustice i love everything about injustice i love all the special characters what i don't love is
like a minority perhaps of injustice players that are like fuck these guests they're ruining
everything when you show a video of literally like a room of hundreds of people getting hyped
and the four exactly yeah and so the four idiots that said that got blown the fuck up by everyone
with a soul in the fgc basically coming out and going do you remember you have you have a horrible
sad existence if all if you just if you shit on ninja turtles showing up in injustice if you
don't guess character that can bring more people's eyes into your game if you don't if that moment
brings you anything but joy you have a sad existence also the ninja turtles are comic book
characters yeah like their popularity blew up on tv and all that but they are they did have a
comic and they still have multiple comics that like it reminds me a lot of when a fucking uh ryu
got announced for smash smash and there was this diehard group and it's not a fucking
nintendo character he is and it's like well he's been on a nintendo platform yeah um like honestly
are those the same people that complained about snake and sonic yeah so incredibly minor and
pointless that not even worth acknowledging like the overwhelming amount of people were like tasty
steve and sejam shaking and going fucking what and and like you know the the fact that like
every news story talking about it talks about the reaction first and then the news second you know
check out everyone going fucking ripping their clothes off yeah no dude that's that was a hell
of a bomb i mean hellboy was a was was was fun was fun hellboy was fun but this is how you set
the world on fire at least for a night plus the fucking ninja turtles and batman had a comic book
crossover like i read it yeah yeah it's not like this is the place where my parents died rafael
and he's a that's rough bro you want a pizza i think they michael there's a panel michael angelo
saying maybe you'd stop being so angry if you ate this gooey pizza and then batman i'm not gonna
put that into my body slice it's the heavens food for men and all men are like bat and turtle yeah
and then batman eats it he's like it's pretty good so alfred make me a pizza
alfred where's my pizza uh so yeah man i'm fucking good on them for securing that one is so far
uh i feel that nether elm well no choose your words carefully because nether elm has had a
really good drop for every one of their games with the exception of injustice one yeah because
scorpion wasn't that big a deal yeah yeah it didn't have the same fervor as it was cool for people
though the first time going like oh shit hey cool scorpion's like kind of hilarious of like really
you can't you can't help yourself and you just gotta put but but yeah but mk9 mk10 and it's weird
they have had a holy shit drop it's weird that you say that because like despite like the holy
shits that we've had like scorpion like unless some things have changed scorpion like the last
time i saw the metric was as he was the most downloaded dlc character of any fighting game
ever but there was i don't remember that much like yeah yeah because it was for from casual people
who don't interact with our sphere of hyper the happiest people were nether elm fans that played
mk yeah seeing the character pop up in this you know but um in a scene scorpion pop up in a game
without a block button weird yeah amazing which means when he jumps behind the screen and attacks
you from the other side scorpion's like it's a cross-up you have to manually you have to manually
block amazing so enjoy that holding back the block oh so good of course last night we got uh
the the the ridiculousness that is noctis showing up into tech in world so weird callium whatever
latin man noctis lucis calum uh the coolest thing to me more exciting than noctis showing up i'm
not gonna lie is the stage is the stage i got really stage is really fantastic because they're
fucking fighting at the hammerhead garage because a the stage looks like it could be in a teching game
it's just like you know and it's identical but it also looks totally ripped from it looks it looks like
the same asset right yeah like it looks a hundred percent like they pulled the world out and just
dropped it here the only thing i like teching stages have a look to them yeah and this doesn't
look like those stages i'd say is that like the trailer unfortunately it's the type of trailer
that was built that when i did find a few reaction videos like it wasn't nearly as high because it
wasn't like a bam there's no it was you know who it is the instant you see the stage yeah but then
the trailer goes on where the phone rings the rest of the boys are all like no it's going to be me
it's going to be me but it's like no it's just not this it's all and it's like the i just wish
the trailer had been cut differently that's the geese trailer was cut perfectly yeah the
the geese trailer is like is the bar now to me uh maybe there's a couple smash trailers that are
better snake snake yeah snake pulling the box off yeah okay uh yeah 100 yeah that's the best one
but yeah you're right but um yeah no no this is this is a cool fun one although it isn't everyone
was thinking within the realm of fighting games right we were all we're all expecting no the next
guest character well okay i should say the fgc discussion was was based on like you know oh yeah
are we gonna get soul holy order soul no the question was are we gonna get kiryu or anyone else
because kiryu is the number one voted character and sega said that it would be cool all right so
the fighting game community was discussing which guest fighters we'd be seeing to go alongside akuma
and geese howard from other companies and at no point did anyone consider a complete not fighting
game character to be fair though in soul caliber they've had lots of non fighting game guest characters
show up like necron certainly yeah and uh but this would be a fun one and and and he's he's
very he's different because they've even got the font going in the trailer uh they you know the
biggest thing about noctis here is that he's like a sword character right so you're i'm just looking
at that like that's gonna be a problem to deal with just because it was range exactly and it's
nice to see his um his rage art is the uh what's it called again the the the all the holy weapons
that are like ancestral armistice for the armature arm it yeah whatever yeah yeah yeah this is the
thing yeah our man this just this just makes me want a new soul caliber so bad and guess what
what you might see it you might see what oh yay who the fuck are they gonna get for soul caliber
oh man they're gonna get all sorts of goofy shit if those rumors are true it's like it's the most
embarrassing thing we're it's like right now if we're gonna look at those rumors it's like
they're not even bothering developing it for the xbox which sounds a little crazy well let's talk
about the rumor about soul caliber six itself in a second though but i wanted to say more about
tecan i wanted to say that uh the probably the strongest thing for them like like whereas in
injustice right it feels like the turtles are probably going to be the height of who they pull
i can't possibly see them right higher than that that's that's the biggest pull right there and
that they have was to get a marvel character uh with tecan this is all they're going to do is just
have the speculation train is now run off the rails and gone into space yeah because you know
like it's no longer within like like smash where you're like oh they're gonna pull from their friends
and they're gonna pull from capcom oh they're gonna pull from anything oh god video games
and yeah that's what this is so now anything is possible like kevin garnett
all right rumors but it should be curious it should be you have to say it's like but let's
be real he would be the least type of the four in terms of like audience explosion like well
simply because yakuza is not the biggest compared to final fantasy in the east it would be it would
be totally the biggest like if that dropped at evo you'd get like one or two oh at evo you'd be me
and a couple guys go and then like everybody like oh the guy from the yakuza all right yeah sure
because at the end of the day it's like i saw i don't know how many people at least like a dozen
people on my timeline that were like i don't even know how to pronounce tecan i will buy this
because my boy is in it sure like you know it's the it's the type of pull that like a lot of people
can be like oh that's so that's not doesn't fit tecan it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit tecan
it's fuck if tecan has a fucking boxing kangaroo shut up it has a boxing velociraptor there has a
little baby dinosaur it doesn't matter anymore oh yeah gone broke the mold way more than any of
these fuckers yeah i think uh the other cool thing is that since you know cloud held a dead in
smash noctis can do this here it doesn't have to go back to cloud type of thing you know so um and
and with that you can you can link akuma geese Howard and all the final fantasy so yeah for
fuck's sake just to add to your point matt like they had fucking star wars characters light
sabers and soul caliber and a bunch of manga characters no one's heard of hell yeah i never
heard of them and not berserk i hope they put i hope they put curio in it though oh man it would
it would be it would be nice to get that in there as like i'd rather actually majima but curio is
better oh if they put guts in a soul caliber oh man that's what i always thought soul caliber
five would have oh man that's etio didn't really give the the due that he should i don't remember
any real excitement he was done really well though he was done really well i really did like him no i
did too but um yeah yeah manga because because yeah that's true soul caliber goes into the realm of
manga so um anyway imagine if guts gets to the end of arcade mode and he's like finally an end to my
story it's as best as i'll get oh man what uh how did the last yakuza game sell over here
well well well enough i don't think there was ever any numbers and pot numbers are up
like it's out of the horrible rut that it was for many years okay like the the games are pretty
much all gonna come over now cool and pretty much everything's been like six and the yakuza kewami
too have also been announced throughout here uh okay the the rumor thing is a pretty big article
it's very large so i was gonna save it but i guess it's just a bullet right into it uh basically
and and here's at the end of the day we don't want to treat this like uh oh no wait not this one
whoops we don't want to treat this like facts because these are rumors and a lot of the rumors are
too good like i don't believe that just keep in mind these are leaks from a source uh that posted on
our kappa and he said that he was the one who leaked uh ninja turtle senator chantress being in the
fighter pack three and posted some game facts things to whatever so so there is some there so the
credibility comes from yeah this person posting it's not nothing yeah uh there's a lot of detail
here though and some of it is i know for a fact too much to tell like just relating alarms well
there there's a lot of this like it doesn't read like a wish list as much as it does read like
some practical things because uh in particular what he talks about when he talks about the unity
changes that i'm like i go yeah that's true because that is something that has been talked about
that's happening so we'll start off with uh the list of street fighter for street fighter five
arcade edition and the the second point of this list is what made me stop stop believing it
okay the marvel ship no the second part of street fighter five arcade edition is like no i don't
believe that okay okay well okay so season three characters include sagat sakura kodi saddam
two newcomers uh two final fight newcomers from one source but roxy and a shadow doll for that's
cool so perhaps there's some internal discussion but they're saying this looks like it's going to be
the season three group so much final fight i love that i i early on and up until a while ago
kept saying that sagat's not coming back and black is not coming back because annoying characters
are being done away with because they don't want people to have to deal with annoying play styles
right gal came out and then shows that no we can still do projectiles even though we've made and
it can be fun right yeah yay yeah uh so but but here's the thing is every time that's happened
the discussion of are we getting sagat back though it's a got coming it's never gone away
oh the question so fuck the question has been around aggressively for so long that it's like
even with them pretty much saying like yeah no we're trying to make annoying characters not hang
you know be a thing it doesn't matter right and so i feel like maybe they'll reinvent it but maybe
they won't but either way the idea that like yeah season three has him right up front dude he's the
only one still missing right i believe laka who cares but well you mean from the four you know
i'm for the four kings but i also met the original roster but i then i remembered block and you
talked about who cares talking about yeah no like he's the only cool one still missing anyway so um
i corrected myself so anyway yeah but the point is that because that question never went away and
everyone kept going okay but is he coming though me i'm like you know what for sure then because
people too many people it hasn't stopped since the game launched too many people want him back so
that's gonna come and then they're gonna play against him online and immediately regret their
oh yeah no for real always you know uh so yeah that if sakura is not aged then fucking get
her okay sakura is not aged uninstall just get her out just get her out no three fighters dead
yeah it's awful if karen can be changed and sakura is the same thing fucking don't even
know sakura got even younger she's like 12 now yeah and everyone everyone rightfully also like
was really happy with her reu like version outfit so i could see them implementing that while doing
the ibuki thing yeah you know maybe a little bit of this a little bit of that right so what's the
second part of street fighter five update there will also be free characters added as part of the
yeah i don't believe that why i don't believe capcom will give you a bunch of awesome characters
for free especially if they're crimson like burq necro and oro a company that charges for stages
doesn't give you characters what if what if it's a cat a company that's currently going through
one of the worst like bouts of of pr bullshit they've ever had actually kind of trying to apologize
like yeah i legitimately tried to buy all the sf5 stages and couldn't figure out how to get all of
them yeah i also tried that it's it's tough it's tough for that it's there needs to be a all pack
there there's there's a couple but but it's still not all yeah and and because mostly all pack
because the other thing too is to go like to separate like from to go like hey this pack for
the seat crap the pro tour puts money towards the pot bonus and whatnot and this pack is so you
can buy this with your for your fight bucks and whatnot but they don't want people to spend money
on things that like they're not that you you can get for free or you know what i mean like it's
so it's i know what you mean but like the distinction is kind of made to make it clear like
this stage is here to support the pro tour yeah and we don't want that money to necessarily be
confused with the rest of what's going on over here just want the all pack i know i know and that's
the simple the other thing it's like buying cut character colors or buying costumes was like also
somewhat because there's there there's no like i want all the characters for karen or i i want all
you know yeah but the prime it's just when you get down to the nitty gritty of it right it's like
imagine if you are like uh i don't know it's kind of like if someone bought one thing and then
potential future releases can fuck that person over sure then to avoid those people getting
upset at that then you you need to like make it more complicated than the main problem is like
also the interface on steam for that stuff is pretty bad okay because like you kicks you have to see
it's pretty i mean it's not much better on ps4 to be honest you know like you're scrolling through a
bunch of boxes and you're like which one's the okay what you know it's a bit weird but anyway
the point is is that i could see that being practical because they're currently in the
shitter with the public and people are not happy with capcom and i could see them wanting to apologize
through that type of gesture and the same goes for the mvci details but anyway um they talk they
go on to talk about uh color edit mode and critical and extra critical arts being in the game possibly
not right away and we know that looking at the move list that was leaked from a promotional picture
with abigale's moves on it that there's a second v skill or a second v trigger but not a second v
skill so some of those things that like there was a there was an early early leak that said second
v skill second v trigger second super is coming and then we saw that move list and it's like okay
they're gonna probably come around a little bit later because it's too much work right now um
then they talk about the input lag fix and this is what makes me think this because this is super
real this has been going around for all the fighters right everything running on ue4 has had
input lag based on the the engine that you know they're running on and it ranges in some cases
they managed to get it down from eight frames of like to six point five with street fighter five
other games techend has had it as well and techend has has also recently reduced input
lag by two frames it helps with online believe it or not right like it's it's it's shitty in
some way but like it makes online easier so that like a lot easier right so that they have more
but more frames to play with that when you're dropping frames when you're doing rollback and
whatnot um it makes charge characters stronger with less input lag really because there's you
have less time to react to what's happening like it's just straight straight up a thing in the game
where yeah charge characters become better because it's harder to react to what they do um but uh
yeah this stuff harada just talked about techend getting updated for an input lag fix yeah they're
going to port it to the new version of unreal so street fighter getting that as well because
unreal had these changes but it's going to take a while for every fighting game with this to
implement it is uh is uh one of the big rumors here that i'm like yeah nope that sounds extremely
cromulate you know quite cromulent yeah uh second is mvci talking about season two
um including star lord miss marvel is in kamala khan asura gill and lady uh but uh not everyone
has been able to agree on lady and uh which is weird some people are saying was she other people
are saying regina from dino crisis which is the who that is the deepest darkest pick well you say
that that's not the deepest dark she's gotten play in namco x capcom and in project cross zone
i guess so she's been back days uh sorry where were you looking at uh towards the end okay oh
you're jumping really far okay i know i know who the characters are we'll get there so uh yeah that
being the end for season two makes a whole lot of sense uh i can see star lord of course because
everyone looks at the roster and goes why is the only guardian of the galaxy not here we need a gun
character yeah which is why regina probably won't make it because really she just uses she's gonna be
another no man she'll have dinosaur powers the dinosaurs will attack her instead of zombies
that's right and she'll be doing she'll be jill chris and frank stuff no she'll be like jill from mvc
too yeah which is also frank west right now don't worry about it but the dinosaurs yeah so anyway
that's why that would be lame so i apologize this would be great uh i rashid is the pick
quite frankly in my opinion um anyway so here's where things get interesting uh here's where things
get ridiculous right because uh beyond that season the the full list of characters in development
but not currently assigned to a season include star lord miss marvel green goblin wolverine
cyclops silock magneto storm deadpool dr doom daredevil ashira lady gill rashid captain commando
nina from breath of fire dais from breath of fire regina gene from god hand virgin akuma
and apollo justice no breath of fire characters getting in there that is not a single power stone
character you fucking serious uh so did you catch that rumor no yes i did what that rumor
oh that thing about where it's like we're gonna put falcon in it and we're about to develop
him and marvel was like no fuck that yeah we have a guy named falcon it'll be confusing so i mean that
was gonna come a little bit later i think actually on this page uh but there there was a discussion
of putting in uh falcon or rouge and then they decided to and then apparently because of marvel's
falcon they could they decided to not do that and that stops rouge how uh it doesn't it doesn't
is the answer they didn't do it but anyway uh so that happened right now uh that list right there
is that's what you call a fucking fixer upper because yeah but you know what i mean there's
a little bit of something for everybody on that list like i'll believe providing that's the whole
thing i'll believe a lot of capcom leak lists because they're almost always 100 true but that's
like it's so many characters and it's a lot of ones we've been asking for it's like it's that's
what i mean by it's too wished listy to me i you know you're i mean it's i want to believe it
could be i don't know but yeah this is all still rumors right uh one thing that's sure that certain
is um that if this did happen then we would be looking at like a roster that is pretty much got
what every one of us was asking for yeah i mean i i wish cyclops wasn't in it but what can you do
i i i almost feel as if like like gene showed up after they heard the internet getting angry at
the fact that gene was not there yeah yeah that's what i mean that's right captain commando rashid
like those things all seem to be um they all seem to be like response as soon as also one that i
feel like the internet's been crying for sure virginal people people you know anything doctor
do well virginal's not at virginal's just read his assets so that's fine yeah and i would say i'll
believe anyone that was in marvel three right yeah i would say i would say mss but no sentinel
but siloq is back so there's that right siloq really uh she was a marvel god no no i was back
in the day but it's like i just feel like marvel just pushes everyone who wants to push but that
but that those okay siloq magneto storm uh wolverine cyclops this is marvel returning
based on marvel versus capcom 2 not based on anything mcu related or xr fox or any siloq for
fuck's sake yeah that's why they're back they're back based on their history with the with the
friend you know what's going to be about that list no sentinel yeah we're just yeah it's not
yes i said it's not mss um right so that leaves the the numbers uh imbalanced 11 marvel and 12
capcom which uh yeah okay anyway um that's fine 2v2 mode uh fantastic four has not been mentioned
at all good don't really know and so on and so on yadda yadda yadda um it then talks about a kind
of patch that'll fix the art style improve the visuals including the ui and so on and so forth
i 1000 percent believe i completely believe that that i almost don't believe that well when again
that's like an internet one one mean one mean to the next so it's so needed ever no it's not just
needed it's such a loud complaint it is about the game it is the constant refrain every time you play
it just oh man that looks like crap and everyone that enjoys it is all we're like we're like you're
on the defensive because you're like i have no there's no excuse for this except the game is good
like when when the rest why not me and snacks are playing it like he pointed out like something
that i hadn't noticed like the the choose your gem art is like super low res for some reason like
that that game's a mess all over the place huh so yeah so you know we're looking at that and then
you're looking at uh uh the what was it the possibility of yeah getting up to 58 to 60 characters
which is the most yeah yeah that's more than marvel 2 um ultron sigma becoming playable with
some changes and patching to make him fair obviously and then the big dumb head version yeah
apollo justice possibly having athena and trucey in the move set well what about mr hat
yeah mr hat mr hats the strongest follow up to story mode content based on the way that
shit didn't really end yeah that seems really believable yeah it's like one of the worst
endings ever nothing happens i guess it's fine well we like the world got fucked and we killed the
bad guy but the world is still everyone is dead still yeah uh then we move on re2 remake is a
third person game you should see something about it next year man that that's that's the re remake
rumor every year yeah but that's see the problem with that is that that doesn't answer the question
everyone knows it'll be third person everyone wants to know is the camera going to be behind
the back or is it going to be fixed that's all that actually matters about that because i assume
the team that's actually making this is the team that ported uh re uh remake oh the zero so i assume
i assume it's just going to be that the last that i heard is that they were arguing internally and
it was split 50 50 between those two choices amazing i mean wouldn't one assume that it would be like
four and five well no because it's not really why would it be like four and five because that's
what popular re became yeah but like we said the remake is plenty popular on its own the and and
this is a remake of two in the vein of one which is what everybody always asks for zero if i don't
know i don't know if they hadn't ported remake in zero into modern consoles i'd be like it could be
anything but because they at least have that experience they wanted to see what people's taste
in that old style was and people's taste was high enough to green light this new one so it would be
totally baffling for them to go hey it's it's like the the cursed capcom test hey you like this here's
umbrella critical i look again i legit i'm asking because i have no idea i don't know um so anyway
the people who bought remake pretty much across the board want it to be fixed camera but the
average person wants it to be third person proper now next on the list independent of this guy's
actual leak we heard about before as well dmc five has been rumored uh like on its own you see
johnny embossed do that shit and and then it turned out to be a commercial or a whatever mobile game
thing or whatever it was yeah okay but they're well you know hey we're back in the studio with
the fucking mocap on no that's that's the stuff with langdon that that did turn out to be that
shit but i'm talking about johnny embossed like a month ago got asked at a con he was doing a little
hey i'm johnny you know the thing and he's like how in the fuck's the hell my crock coming out and he
just goes and just like walked away yeah yeah so there you go it's like so it's been it's been it's
been pushed for a little bit more than just this this list and uh this list does say though uh playable
nero dante and virtual great that's good there's not much else i could ask for oh man
that's a good list of characters that anything else you do is fine you throw sparta on that i'm like
yep that's okay too but anyway um like if like it's like point one you want to hear about dmc five is
one devil may cry five yeah not yeah don't take nero and virtual done okay it doesn't it doesn't
matter it doesn't matter could you do without one of them uh yeah who would you ask don don't
yeah i fucking do that shit of course we just had a conversation not too long ago like nero is
the greatest yeah that's fucked up it's so that's crazy that feels dirty i feel dirty
say okay get him out of there characters in mario odyssey peach luigi in toad yeah i feel so dirty
but it's so true i completely heard you oh no god damn wow ouch all right well the other
thing on that list is uh dragon ball fighters and that was main that was mainly about mentioning
broly regular goku and regular vegeta potentially bringing that list to six versions are three
versions of goku what is regular goku and regular not super saiyan who cares who that is no no no
listen don't worry that's going to become the new ultra beast version so the problem is that
they have so many moves especially goku mainly goku that like you can actually spread them apart
but i agree it's a waste i don't like i'm not as fun or as hype as interested in seeing a version
of the character with different hair but just put them on in the same slot just make you're not
interested in seeing the same character with different hair you're looking at the wrong franchise
wrong franchise that's true um so yeah so you're looking at regular goku regular vegeta broly uh
hey broly hey and they're gonna be dlc including bar doc fuck uh goku black as well
so that's for goku actually goku blacks do we need oh we don't need that many we already know
a goku black i don't need more goku black friends oh you have you think oh boy the possibility
yeah oh yeah you think we're gonna get the black goku in here the black goku as opposed to goku
black i'll be up for the character designer any day yeah i've made so many i mean at this point
why not why not uh raditz as well to be discussed you know what though like i'd rather raditz to
regular goku and regular yeah well you're gonna get all of them so you know um and then of course
the uh the talk about the switch port and the fact that it's gonna end up on the switch because
everything that's built on there's no reason not to unreal engine 4.15 is switch friendly
namco likes to switch unlike how come then lastly we have uh not lastly but soul caliber six is next
on that list oh man if only might happen might be coming to all consoles not xbox maybe we're not
sure and uh link most likely link showing up as a guest character and being announced at psx
is a possibility as well and a lot of these rumors keep stating if like further down the
list that there's uh they apparently keep alluding to some big nintendo direct in january which
would make sense because they had a big nintendo direct in january this year now this and this
rumor part here has something that sounds rumory and fakie and fanboy which is at the end or killic
is back and he has his old moveset not the stupid weapon master thing everyone hated in five yeah
and it's like yeah we know he took over the weapon master role or whatever but it sounds
like such a fan thing it sounds like way too excited yeah so you're like yeah the guy that wrote
this really wants to make his soul caliber six but anyway uh i think i've seen this before i'd
rather actually soul caliber just reboot or just get rid of i i do let's go back to soul edge and do
soul edge too hard i just mean that there's so much shit now and it's just i don't know uh i i i
agree i agree and i think i think a lot of people um could affirm as well like yeah a hard reboot
would be absolutely welcome i mean five doing a time jump was uh you know the right idea but it
didn't really push it actually because it brought back so many old characters it doesn't really
matter but yeah no absolutely just just a hard reboot you know don't call it soul caliber you know
yeah soul something but it'd be really cool it'd be really cool to see a yes no seriously call
soul edge too it's like just have a have a different winner of the tournament become the new nightmare
sword valor have tacky be the one who gained soul edge and become the new boss man just pick
another word and spell it wrong yeah and you'll be fine you'll be fine oh man uh yeah and then
nintendo stuff was a bit more general but you know um some of it seemed very fanny to me yeah
nintendo's trying to get a pokemon game out of game freak on the switch like a heart shocker
natural prime four i know made by nanko bandai though that's interesting if true animal crossing
the virtual console thing i've is i 100 percent believe we're getting a subscription service
100 uh play all the games you want while as long as you pay for the monthly uh mother three
being real localized and playable same thing we've heard for a while and uh twiwi two so the world
ends with you too like i don't believe that i want to believe that but i don't believe that you know
what i fucking do believe hearthstone for the switch that is the most obvious killer app you
possible oh yeah like i know it would work on it good yeah so this is uh this is i would call this
a megaton if this were real and here's the thing is some of this could be real in fact it could it
could end up being one or two things here but that's a lot of information and uh some of it pretty
Cromulan like i said lots of Cromulan the level of Cromulan is high high level is high percentage
of Cromulan but anyway um so we've we've tracked down people are too used to not getting what they
want to feel hopeful of any of that in this whole caliber vein we all track down the rumors we traveled
to towns due to these rumors and we found out that some of these rumors might be true you know it's
not on that list what's that new shit that's right yeah it's true guess what because you can't
predict new shit can you guess what's not on the list for video games new stuff it's all stuff which
is also i believe i think that's also real i think i believe a rumor list more when i see
unannounced weird game that involves uh trees and spears yeah what that's a weird one and you're
guys like yeah i don't know i'm not on the project but all i know is the guys down on
the fifth floor have been working on some tree spear thing all i know is they got some mutant
raccoon rpg i yeah yeah yeah you know i know i can't say i don't know and then you just have
yeah weird unknown tree mutant rp like you know what i mean yeah that sounds like a
fucking real it's like you place your quarter up on the rumor man's desk and you're like rumor man
what's new coming he's like um there's a psx and a nintendo directive or anything new and he's like
but but but fan that wants to make up dreams is going you know all the things we all love
that thing is real so like there's nothing will smack more of some asshole going hey
than star fox and metroid yeah yeah you know yeah yeah because that took no effort to make up in
your head no it's it's the unknown i can't explain what i saw if they go that you need to believe
was there any rumor less saying sucker punch is making this weird japanese on a musha game
hell no fuck you that's not in fact there was a bunch of rumors about how the studio is a
shithole and how they don't know how to make anything they mismanage everything hey and then
sucker punch doesn't strike me is that company they put out like a good ps4 game and a good follow
up dlc game to that speaking of mismanagement hell yeah let's go let's talk about best friends
we gotta click that video thing we can talk about electronic arts but i don't know which way you
want to go with this one most downvoted comment right at history let's go that way
yeah quite frankly i think pat just summed it up this is the most asinine patronizing
fucking piss on me and telling me it's raining statement i've ever seen in my entire time following
the games industry and that's saying a lot pat pat where's your sense of pride and accomplishment
so they straight up just tell pride and accomplishment so there's two parts to this one is
the review copies for battlefront to have been found to have fucked uh and easier to obtain
point values for buying things such as heroes and shit like that it is six times easier to buy
things in that shop than it is in the retail game as a response to this kerfuffle and everybody
going hey what the fuck every single piece of news about battlefront is how it's a microtransaction
filled shithole that fucks me when i pay for it ea released what may be the most condescending
thing ever saying we want players to really earn and value their own now which is now you know
what why don't you just read the fucking thing verbatim shall we yeah uh threat is called seriously
i paid 80 to have vader locked vader was not locked in the first game hell no he wasn't he was not
in fact you did the tutorial as him yeah ea community team responds the intent is to provide
players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes as for cost we
selected initial values based on the data from the open beta and other adjustments made to milestone
rewards before launch among other things we're looking at the average per player credit earn
rates on a daily basis and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have
challenges that are compelling rewarding and of course attainable via gameplay we appreciate
the candidate feedback and the passion the community has put forth around the current
topics passion means you're all pissed off you're on reddit our forum it does it does our forums
and across numerous social media outlets our team will continue to make changes and monitor the
community feedback and update everyone as soon as and as often as we can congratulations
419 000 downlikes is just enough downlikes to unlock vader
you did it seriously i hope you feel pride and a sense of accomplishment it's that that was written
by a marketing man who was all in on the oh you're gonna he did it um that was all in on the process
of like let's game the systems of the people by the train like it's the most transparent
fucking by the shit you fucking hacks shit ever it's the worst it's the worst i mean ultimately um
yeah this i was gonna buy this game and because of this shit i'm gonna skip it like i was oh yeah
i'm i'm very out i'm very out like i couldn't be more disinterested yeah i have and me and that
we talked about it we have had problems with lootbox shitting yeah but this is too far i'm
really glad that i haven't even booted up wolfenstein because i'm going to boot up wolfenstein
but it's also it also is like we all care about star wars enough to care enough to buy the game
but not enough to to get in on that to play the game that is this process you can live your life
and be fine without it back in the day you might need to play unlock arcade mode with every character
and get your vader like in masters of terracotta or whatever it is i'm fine with that honestly
because it's not that big of a time sink but either playing the game to like whatever level
it is to unlock vader or pay that much for it that's like that's like what this this generation is
sort of now it's the new low well i mean we talked about games as a service uh a couple
of last episode or the one before i forget we talked about more than that but there was but
there was a a i think the one you missed or so uh we yeah we went we went in on it for a while
and the uh thing with this in particular that like uh someone posted an article from a pr guy
that talked about some of like what goes into planning out how you put in these microjohns
actions and it's like yeah it's it's a hundred percent true and anyone that's working at the
companies can tell you this that like they will 100 look at how much value annoys you and how much
like yeah people get upset by what the threshold is dial it back just beneath there's there's a
sweet spot and account for a number of people getting pissed off and go well no we expect this
many people like that to get pissed and leave in this and then what what remains is still it's like
scott steiner trying to explain math but he's like you take 26 chance of people being pissed off
and the trick is is that if you do it little by little game per game you wear down that
tolerance so that it gets worse over time the other part of the post which is totally true is
the idea that uh you suggest changes and that your changes are like fixes to the most egregious
problems but not actually the core of the shit remains the core of the shit is still this because
your the economy they planned can't be changed drastically they you know the money was spent
to make them to have this game be this type of service but what they can do is change how expensive
things are you can see the uh the for honor thing right and whatnot where they go yeah we'll make
certain things cheaper the things that get a people upset will become cheaper but it's and then
then then the the the the press becomes about the changes right but ultimately the the core system
is still there and it's not going to go anywhere and the people that never come back we expected you
to be gone and that's fine but for honor it's like hey here's this character class this is a fictional
character there's a lot of history and a lot of like it's fucking Darth Vader I would be like
generally okay with this if they had like unlocks of like more obscure star wars characters as you
level up in the game or whatever get grito get whoever you know uh but locking Vader when he
was not locked in the first I should also mention that the the particular rage over this for context
is because it would take an average of about 40 hours yes that that was that was which is the
important bit of like that's ridiculous but because the bullet point that's so easy to to spout is what
you just said yeah no Vader no Vader what the fuck then they're gonna fix Vader Vader's gonna be free
probably Vader's Vader's probably gonna be free and then you're not gonna bitch about all the rest
of the fucking disgusting shit and that's still garbage we went from like oh fuck I got a pre-order
to get Goro I would love to pre-order and get like Vader instead of whatever this is
you know uh it yeah it's just part of the game now it's just part of the game and when I say the
game I don't mean the video game I mean it's part of the game man yeah hustle game just stay the
game forever your outrage is quantifiable expected and calculated that's why people hate Jim Sterling
because he amps it up makes it good just being real Jim's too real when you've been in the when
you've been in the game yeah making these games for the better part of god knows how many decades
now four three right like you know how this goes you this is not our first rodeo with the dlc
outrage yeah and they're watching other companies and everyone else's reaction to it like they know
how this is gonna go so let's talk about it's star wars so you can take that risk flip side of this
for just one second is like while this sucks if you like star wars like man that sucks for you
especially if they don't change it um you know who's not talking about this problem yeah my my
sister's brother a super fan star wars guy yeah just wants to play star wars oh yeah star wars
I'll play yeah this is the voice of what I mean is that if you can be outraged at this and it's fine
to be like mmm god hate this it's fine to be saying what we're saying right now like man I'm not
going to buy the game we should probably not do is go to the main developers twitter and give him
death threats because that's always something you shouldn't do you know there's always something you
shouldn't do but that that I saw a tweet like earlier today I got like he's like I got five
death threats it got five death threats like guess what that's all it's always it's not even part of
the discussion because there's always is like injustice just as they calculate your rage
try to calculate your own rage and say is my life in a place where I need to threaten this guy's life
because I don't get my plastic no nobody nobody's actually nobody who's going to go to somebody at
utter death threats is going to have the presence of mind actually has that question yeah of course
yeah and and half of them think they're just being funny or over the top it's like it's like g yeah
you know that guy who got mad at the grocery store and shed on the floor that was you no it wasn't
it was the other guy well no no that was you yeah you know what when he was in that process he
wasn't thinking like oh should I really think about doing this no he's like I'm fucking mad I'm gonna
shit on four that's what you said they got damn it that wasn't me they got you on camera I can barely
go to the bathroom in a public bathroom how the fuck do you think I could shit my pants or if I
shit on the floor and if I was a sufficient amount of rage and anger you know man you do it in your
pants that'll show you just get that fight or flight response going and it all comes out oh I'm
very used to that fight or flight response that might I'm strong against that so if they announce
that they're locking Darth Talon the red twlech Sith Lord I would also probably be very angry
yeah but you know Vader's close no I'm I'm I'm I can easily just be like I'm out of this one
because I was already like yeah maybe I kind of you know I was happy with the first one but I was
I thought there's other games you can play there's tons and tons of games yeah so um you know
anyway the other part is that they sold respawn to EA and now now respawn is owned by you
Jim's Jim's a fucking uh twitter post about this nailed it which was written out like
noted studio murderer EA buys respawn serial serial killer you don't even need Jim for that the
fact that Willie just pulled up an article where the main plot thread is respawn saying Joe don't
worry we're not dead yet it's people know just because EA's killed almost every single studio
they ever acquired in this manner doesn't mean that we're gonna die and they've killed studios that
they didn't even acquire in this manner it's sure they did yeah if I'm not mistaken they sold
respawn to EA for 144 million I think it was is that correct yeah they paid 2.2 mil per employee
since it's a pretty small studio I wonder if they get to see that I don't know I don't think it works
like that but anyway apparently they're they're letting them maintain their autonomy and they're
gonna for now we'll see keep um until they become bio-wear wherever well that's what the thing is is
that it it always becomes taxes I think it's Austin respawn maybe I don't know a Montenegro
the problem is not pass it's not when things are okay because that's not when the panic happens
the panic happens back in 2004 when EA was just like oh shit shit's not making money shut it all
down and then after killing a bunch of shit they go who can do it and then it like respawn's not
shut down they're fine we bought them they're their investment they go great force them to make this
thing oh they're not making the return on investment that we thought they oh the next cycle around
they become like every single fucking time like the golden child for now is the one who gets forced
to save the mess of yesterday and then they get shut down now they're creating a new mess oh no so
yeah they just killed visceral and the fucking mass effect Montreal by our Montreal hey man
like they just they just killed two studios they weren't like they were still here no less they
like they were still scrubbing the blood off the walls yeah of that room and they brought in the
new cows and then like like to the room and then they came in and just put their bags down oh listen
you a titanfall needs to make up for all the money that mass effect and dead space lost go
fucking and also your last titanfall game did not sell well
like also we published it and fuck you on it remember that i forgot about which in a hindsight
now looks like a ploy to bring their stock value down so that they could buy them by putting it out
on fucking call of duty weekend yeah battlefield weekend and we also made or rather rather they
also made a free dlc continuously oh yeah for months in in a method that that ea would never
approve of going forward as someone that is now completely for a company that we just said locked
Vader behind 80 bucks yeah yeah yeah free dlc for months a year actually something like that
yeah but hey at least titanfall 3 will exist maybe i hope so it's a fun i just kind of see that they
might just throw them on the next battlefield it'll still be on origin so battle i remember a world
where no one cared about titanfall yeah only you back on the original you know it's it's nice to know
that people are are um here for the franchise anyone's passionate for just a good studio yeah
yeah yeah uh they have ip is a good studio like
uh blue hole blue hole yes blue point or blue hole blue hole they're um the guys that made uh pubg
announced infinite ascent infinite realm and i'm a morpiga this is somewhat of a large jump
i didn't see it coming you know what i would have rather uh had what the fucking vaulting update
for pubg that's coming to isn't it uh okay woolly in fact where i thought these announcements went
hand in hand you guy yeah no that's coming in december the new map and then this uh
maybe explain to me how this works because i it always it always confuses me there's a big
kerfuffle about the developers of rust also doing something like this where development studio
makes game in early access right game becomes popular like ruster pub g never leaves early
access wow this looks great though it yeah it does it's a little super uh uh game gets many updates
and is still supported before game leaves early access a different game is announced yeah it's
what the what the fuck it's a it's a weird kind of a hustle where you're treating early access like
a safe like release you know um you can always say that you need to add more to it and that it's
not quite done so you know mistakes can always still be fixed because you're not quite finished yet
but we're still a company employing a bunch of people and not everyone's working on it at the
same time so we got these other things going on because we got to make more we got a diverse
fire portfolio no fuck it finish the fucking game i paid for no that vault update could be
out now if they just threw more resources at it you're right but guess what that update looks
like the shit but but everyone working there uh that wants to ensure that they have bread on the
table next year is basically yeah because pub g's doing shit yeah well most popular
fucking game world in this particular instance yeah dude it's it's it's it's a it's a business
decision it's not one that i think is is one that people should do i think it sucks and i i
agree but uh i i i understand it because it's kind of like you know early access publicly
was introduced as one thing and then turned out to be something very very very very different
very different it became the name of games that have longstanding support but ship a little busted
slash games that don't ever have to ship because they never really do because games don't need to
actually ship because there's there's no shipping but it's out and you pay for no physical shipping
anymore so the idea of oh it's gotta go gold so it's gotta go on a in a box gold is ridiculous
now in any case this game seems to have a lot going on yeah it looks like there's some
dragons and guns and airships and it's a lot cool ideas that i see here the main thing it's all
clashing is that uh it looks kind of a hodgepodge it's clashing and uh it looks jank but it's an
mmo so but it looks less jank than pubg yeah you know which is funny because pubg looks jank
as shit doesn't play jank but we're so we've seen how many types of like gameplay systems right
we're seeing like an airship play now against a dragon yeah we saw gunplay we saw like third person
on the ground um i guess you know it reminds me a bit well it's an mmo right so that in some sense
it makes me think a little bit of like anarchy online well the the main question is this a theme
park or sandbox right you're familiar with the the difference walls instances versus uh theme parks
world of warcraft or final fantasy they make content you do the content sandbox is like eve
yeah right you are the content you are the content yeah our black deserts like that as well yeah
those are i presumably harder to make aren't they uh yeah but they last a lot longer because the
community makes its own shit for you all you do is add features add new things and you because the
the problem with your theme park mmo is you make the content and people beat it and they go win in
the sex expansion because there's nothing else to do until it's done yeah all the rest has been
done already yeah and you can never make content fff is like that right yeah fff is like that because
most every time there's an event and you guys go talk about event name yeah most most mmo's after
wow are like that eve where is a couple korean ones are notable exceptions yeah because like when
people talk about event name for eve it's when that fucker stole all that money and cost a war
so yeah anyway uh that is ascent infinite realm i i've forgotten the name give me the it's called
ascent because you fly i know i'm just like that's it's it's it's it's skirting it's skirting the line
better name than fly fly ff yeah it is fly for fun it's not final fantasy we swear uh yeah infinite
realm and ascent are words that oh you know what all of it together spelling error that's better
that makes more sense that's good just call it air it came it came together at the end where you're
like oh it's yeah it's actually an acronym good job guys um then we have the announcement that things
exist i like things got to go fast sometimes oh boy and that includes sanic shirts that includes
getting your memes in your game officially if there's anything sonic forces needs it's more
memes i mean like after the twitter guy got involved like seriously though people why would this be
the case people datamined a bunch of fucking sanic shirts of sonic also they also datamined that
supersonic is in the game so shocker yeah so datamined something worth a yay yay on you
um you can put a shirt a funny shirt on your ugly character they're all hideous you can't make a good
looking one you can but then you don't you don't deviate from anything really and they look shittier
than all the existing characters the typical oc problem you know it doesn't have shitty looking
characters punch planet that's a good name punch planet showed uh it's not in the new version that
just came out on steam but they showed a new character like a big lizard guy so right now it
just it just got yeah well right now they just dropped it on early access uh it's a four character
build yeah it's the same probably same the build yeah same ish bill that we or like i mean i'm sure
there's not the exact same because that was a while ago that was evil yeah yeah it's gonna have
adjustments but uh the bill that's on early access does have these four characters and
the game is fucking good yeah it is uh it's it's a simple game there's not really a gimmick
nope but it's a straight forward solid fighting game i fucking love that one of the characters
there are there there they are robot guy and elizabeth coming soon dog yes and the character's
name is dog and plays like dog um yeah uh it's just a very straightforward really fun tight looking
game and and the art style is incredible um punch planet it's cool we'll probably open your eyeballs
we'll probably play the channel and there's a couple more characters yeah um
um there's that and then last but finally not least oh never least oh my god what's well
actually the news is actually yeah very much least oh no it doesn't get much more least oh no i don't
know what the news is oh no remember nello yeah we played it a few like a year ago they released
some patch notes today yes and they're working on the new things and they announced the super best
skins and the super best skins consist of the three of us so nello eyes but basically it's
it's a super metal album cover cyborg template just our heads have various parts that like you
have dreads i have a skull on my head i can't really tell what pat has a pat has a ginger
beard of anger feathers why do i got feathers it's like uh i think it's kind of like a balding
hair kind of a hair thing but in a stylish way so i the forehead keeps going all the way to the back
i literally scrolled past this image earlier today and was like why am i seeing it on my feet and
didn't didn't register what are you looking at i just saw who are these cool robot guys thank you
for the super best support yeah well i'll read the exact oh my god yeah there you go over a year
ago we ran a Kickstarter campaign to help get our project off the ground we tried to make our goal
reasonable but even then we were having a tough time we had five days left in the campaign pledges
were went from less from half from less than halfway funded to fully funded overnight because
of the traffic and an exposure from the switcher ak super best friends play as fans of the switcher
we were never expecting this we couldn't believe what was happening but here we are today
well with the project more uh further developed and it would be without us uh we made special
cosmetic scenes of matt panwally show their gratitude and for their support and for all
the backers help to say thank you thank you guys thanks this is super you know the oh uh i yeah
i caught wind of it uh a little bit earlier i know why i got feathers because bird squad
oh yeah sure okay calm yeah there you go so yeah you've got your and i'm bald i'm feathers and
and you've got your your mouth beard ginger beard thing like holy holly holly holly's
character is the coolest because it fits you look like a predator it fits the art style i've got
visors man like it's visor dreadman i what do you want me to say you know it's it's pretty
sick and then yeah you've got your skull well he's like me the coolest you uh uh you look like uh
king crimson a little bit a little small head there but yeah yeah yeah man matt very cool we
got it we got to take another look at this when it's like all yeah when they feel like we should
they just put out the well they just put out a another trailer with more of the like you know
how the progress and the plot and yeah i saw some of the new builds like that looks like completely
different better like the the the the whole the whole point the first games that have potential
is just like that was that was yeah that was it was like oh this plays pretty good it's just
if you have all the other stuff around it if you somehow missed us playing this last year go back
and watch best friends play nello to see what we're talking about uh it's a really cool game
that mecca action game yeah and like that the blur effects never gets old
everything is just fast and and it's like a schmup i forgot you can and you top view to
schmup mode exactly yeah no like there's definitely some people that jumped on board this year
that weren't around last year that might have missed it but in case you didn't see
nello is a game that uh you should take a look at and look forward to probably look at it so so
seeing that image of of us it just uh all because i forgot to talk about a little bit but william
the shovel knights art book came out yeah highly recommend you pick it up just to get to all the
bass stuff yeah because it has the nice bass splash page and like i said on twitter it's like
there's a certain intangible type of pride i've never felt by seeing that character there and we
were both credited and it's like it's in print now it's and it's in print it's real like he was
real in the game don't get me wrong i got that i got that from the record from the final he's inside
the sleeve yeah yeah that and i'll just give a random plug go to bitmap books go check out what
they have they recently put out the neo geo like visual compendium it is really the best art book
i now own it is staggering how high quality classy it is it goes through every single box art of
every neo geo game it shows production sketches of garo it shows shinkiro sketches of things i've
never seen before it has a whole section on like the the rise and and fall of neo of snk it is the
most amazing thing i own in a book format what's it called it's the neo geo come our visual compendium
okay bitmap books they also have a they have a variety of art books based on different systems
and different companies they're amazing because this thing is i own no exaggerating probably 12
snk like art books okay so maybe you've seen some of this stuff i have almost all of it but
it's all from let's say 11 and back right so anything goes out to 40 anything up to up to
current well there you go i guess i gotta get it but i mean there there's also just like brand new
interviews with every member of the design team like interviews with shinkiro falcoon okay more
more like information yeah yeah but the the middle section of it is like incredibly high res like
like planet earth style cameras taking various screenshots of every snk piece of hardware they've
ever done it is exhaustive book i loved it so much i went back to the website and i bought the super
famicom box art collection it has it has is just a collection of every super famicom box art ever
and i'm like some of those are much more amazing than like the american or the european ones so i
bought that right away because i was so impressed with this art book yeah that's it very cool uh
let's take some letters letters hey if you want to wait why don't i start talking like that that's
your voice hey if you want to send a letter in to super best friendcast you'd say super best
friendcast at gmail.com thank you mickey mouse super best friendcast gmail.com i think that's
a character that i'm gonna name crazy legs no crazy legs cameron sends an email hey cameron
he says hey chewy fuckface and skull uh with all the recent news about loot boxes and mini buys
the recurring argument about games being more expensive in general uh and would you consider
uh what would you consider a fair method of mini buys if it had to be in one of your favorite games
assassin's creed origins does it pretty well that's very easy to ignore and if it's there it's
reasonable yeah it's very actually easy to ignore anything cosmetic and i know i know sterling hates
hearing that one but personally again i know that like in a world where it's just to make me feel
like i like enjoying my costume and it has no actual change on gameplay yeah i i i don't if it's
got to be there then it should be cosmetic so i have no problem with that because exactly exactly
it's really for your desire to make your character look like a certain thing or like even if they have
a cosmetic that charges like a premium a bit of money like it's more but if it's cool enough like
i'll buy that like depending if you're into a certain game like you're gonna want to have all
the skins or whatever so mario odyssey fuck it i got all three amiibos because i wanted all three
of those costumes what are the costumes it's it's the wedding ensemble so you can only put mario
in peach's wedding costume if you get her amiibo but that's it like there's granted mario odyssey
has a billion fucking costumes yeah they're all fun but that's like the wild tiles style stuff
it seems yeah kind of well from the screenshots people have been posting i was i basically was like oh
it seems like they did breath of the wild again where it's like tons of screenshots of mario
mario you can only mix and match a hat and a base costume though it's not like grieves and arms and
shit okay and plus there's one costume that costs 9999 coins okay but but like in previous mario
games it was mario yeah yeah so um them they're getting into the world of dress up with these games
now yeah uh oh man could you imagine a metroid game where you can mix and match armor pieces
that'd be cool wow i actually think i'd be really bad at that because like almost all
metroid costumes are very uniform well as long as you can color edit yeah if you can color edit
then that that's enough fine just just i have a million they're gonna have that they're gonna
have that feature in metroid prime four and you can't see it you're never gonna see your character
yeah exactly uh yeah did i answer i think you did i think you answered first you said cosmo
cosmo yeah i did i did yeah okay uh we got one coming in from gary he says uh they're super
best crossover combination cast what is your least favorite crossover so you fight across
that uh okay necko cross cap well i think he's well he says personally mine goes to necron
in soul caliber two so he's talking about gone in tec and three specific instance gone in tec
no necron in soul caliber two useless character you know what if i did is that a crossover
because that's an original character it's a original character so it's more like it's just
crossed over with todd mcfarrow i guess so okay so then like i'm allowed to say share as i have
as a result yeah you are yes yes you are in soul caliber four four four a lot of those
mania there was a waste of time yeah i can i there you go um i think also spawn was not as
like he was actually spawn saw compared to the other two yeah spawn was cooler than star killer
yeah but not that hey hachi and link were winners compared to spawn for sure oh yeah
because they actually came from that era but also that's not true at all that's completely a lie i
just i just bullshitted that out of the air and set it with confidence go on but also why spawn
sucks is because he has the more he has more potential to do crazy weird things he's got an x
he's just got a generic axe yeah yeah yeah he's not great soul caliber has the the luxury of being
able to pull anyone from a remotely like medieval slash fantasy setting portals easily in because
yeah but guess how many characters in video games have swords and ride horses a lot you know like
so where's where's fucking um someone else came in um yeah i mean you know general ram didn't
really set the world on fire oh he's a great character yeah but he's just like general ram
arbiter'd really didn't do so you know what you know arbiter didn't really bring that many people
to like over to k i really gameplay wise i think they're really oh yeah they remember do you remember
scourge from gears of war two and what a way i don't know what a way cooler character that is i
didn't play gears of war okay gears of war two has a a a thin kind of lanky predator looking guy
dreads that has a darth mall style double sided chainsaw sword cool he was so much cooler than
general ram but they wanted a grappler so you got a jerry grappler because he grabs the they made a
character out of that one moment one moment one moment you get a grappler yep yep uh all right
this is this came in a lot so i mean what's the big question here's another one here hello
kaios says hello super paywall brothers hey what up i have a game for you it's called micro
transaction it pick a game you love and add micro transactions to it isn't this what we did the most
disgusting one you can think of i should point out that there already exists this exact game it's
called dlc quest it's a platformer came out many years ago they're asking us our suggestions
an rpg where you can buy gold fable fable two yeah back on the 360 and you can buy plex and
eve online and that's an mmo i i oh and they also um the show paying rpg there uh internal
sonata yeah you they had a bunch of hey all of those uh fucking what is it what's that company
namco is it namco what all those fucking tales rpg all those games they all have the really
aggressive micro transaction shit items and consumables yeah you can buy help the only
really started that with vesperia and 360 i have one all right but i'm mixing something that exists
in a current game but i'm replacing it in another game so you have your gun pointed at the boss
and she's in the field yeah and then it it says pay 799 for the true ending no that's no yeah no
man yeah yeah no i've got one take a sir's wrath it's gross in death in death stranding every bullet
costs a quarter it's actually a stealth game you don't need to use guns to beat the game but if you
want to fire the gun you gotta pick quarter if you want eva to be a companion throughout all of mgs3
pay 399 and then she'll always tag along with you and ask for food actually if you want eva
well then you have to pay for because food yeah yeah 25 but if you want eva to not be a companion
for all of mgs3 you have to pay pay 30 dollars let's fuck off we hard patched her in the so once
upon a time i said there's nothing worse than an underwater time discord mission yeah now i can
say an underwater time discord mission where you have to pay to keep the timer going oh that's
great slash the escort alive all right yeah we're done with this game i hate it uh dear ordinary
worst foes says dan i recently found out that all bananas you buy at the supermarket are literally
cloned and therefore genetically identical to the descendants of a single banana that's awesome
presumably some bad space bounty hunter or a renowned special forces operator from the cold war
in any case figuring this out has ruined my relationship with bananas knowing that i'm
essentially eating the same hopeless inbred sterile hunk of organism over and over and again
well you know why that is right yes the history of a banana is simple there used to be tons of
more flavorful delicious bananas back in the 70s however uh there was a uh type of um horrible
plague that wiped out every banana of any kind and the only banana type that survived was the
dole the most generic banana dole yeah and they were and so they cloned and basically planted
that they're like well this banana's hardy as shit because it survived the plague but people
that are old will tell you that bananas used to taste differently and they used to taste better
because bananas to me like i can barely eat a whole banana if it's not like if it's not in
something i'm just like okay i'm done with this it's just not fun after like five bites and i'm
just like no i have a really good analogy but it's spoiler so i'm just gonna shut up but yes
we're you've been eating the same banana cloned it's pretty cool i idea yeah
you's trying to think of it but he won't would i even know what you're talking about don't worry
about it all right we'll talk about this one the podcast be the last banana um we have one coming in
from someone uh david he says they're super far boys um sure um nailed it i want to see that 70
show turned into a fighting game oh man red would be a grappler yeah he would be donna's a tank
yeah eric's a striker yeah um what's it come would you want a fighting game out of there's
already there's already been a fangame of a full house tournament fighter is very strong is that real
yeah oh wow there's images of it at least but aside from that friends might be good all the
characters look the same i think it's not a sitcom no it's not a sitcom nevermind that's gonna say
scrubs dad you can get a couple of comedy i really want cheers dude cheers is good there's enough
characters there there's a couple like like frazier couldn't really do it there's not enough
people and like like think think like you know cliff could bring out the mailbag and he could be
the item everyone has a gimmick right everyone has a gimmick hang in with mr cooper oh how many
other characters were there there was mr cooper yes he's top tier and there was the person who was
hanging with mr cooper and then there's the family there's the kids i don't god i can't remember that
okay well how about in the house right now you have lj all right and then it's the same thing
same fucking thing you have cool top tier guy black guy and then family that he's forced to
live with that is going to be the rest of the mash would be good all mash that's not a sitcom
yet it's it's still it's not a sick situation is the war of course in the same but it's fine
in the hilarity in every video game involves playing a role right gilligan's island you know
what i mean gilligan's island professor would have all sorts of techno coconut shit i mean the
obvious this is kind of fresh prince really fresh prince can do it yeah hi aw man phil has super
armor phil has super armor and suspicious uh wrist blades a big scary helmet uh no he has
lucille yeah and he fights with lucille no it's a tag game and if you have uncle phil and dj jazzy
jeff when you tag out he just throws out no i was not for not even that but i was gonna say
you want to turn phil into anything he's got a command grab that spins you and throws you like
he throws jeff okay that's better that's better come on now oh i think that's good yeah i mean i i mean
i i didn't say it but i'm gonna say it sign phil yeah that's an rpg that's an rpg that's not
you couldn't do it justice with a fighter uh brett wants to know what games uh did you do an lp
for that would have been more enjoyable to play at home you want to know a secret a lot of them all
of them no not all of them not all of them uh not all of them it depends if we played them
before or not i think i we i had more fun playing beyond two it's yeah it's different with you guys
and if i had played there yeah yeah it is easier it is easier to say it the other way around which
ones were more fun yeah in house all the really bad ones yes were the are way more fun to do as part
of yeah um you know but when you when you can because when you're not you know at the end of
the day it's like yeah the bad games become more enjoyable because they would know and you would
not have sat there and laughed and enjoyed yourself on your own it's like watching a bad movie no one's
going to watch bad movies by themselves at home that's pointless but good games you want to be
able to pay more attention you want to read every message you want to know every single subtle thing
exactly i would go way slower and bloodborne if i didn't have a clock hanging over my head so that
question is kind of like the answer is is like most good games if i thought yeah any game that's
okay most good games and all bad games yeah so yeah there you go uh meme dream says
dear super best mecha suitors i was recently watching the big o on blu-ray notice they took
out the original intro um that's a shame because that song is so good uh my question for you guys is
what re-release of something took out content from the original that disappointed or angered you
i talk a lot about this but uh metroid prime trilogy it's fucking sucks because i know it's the
easiest way to get all those games and i know it's convenient and i know it's worth money before the
reprint but when you boot it up and you go to metroid prime one two and three you do not get the
menus for those respective which are all awesome which are the some of the best music on the soundtrack
and some of the best menus ever made right you only get the game start like right away you get
you get select each game and then you just start you miss the incredible menu work that was done
on those all three metroid prime games and that fucking kills me so i don't care about that trilogy
too much uh you're missing out on like the actual quality of the games if you play silent hill hd
collection oh yeah sound effects are are mixed up there's like uh you know atmosphere is fucking
changed because all the games are fucked up fucking garbage i'm trying to think of what lost
content is there and like aside from metroid i can't think of i can think of one what the fucking
pop song at the beginning of dragon's dogma is not there in dark arisen how about that release
that fucking catchy horrible song the wind is pushing me like first suck yeah it's suck but guess
what everybody destructible yeah indestructible too like it caught on and it leached into your heart
oh i fucking forgot about indestructible i fucking forgot about it did it did it there
uh so there's a mod on pc that you can put the fucking song back in it's the it's one of the
only mods for dragon's dogma drop the file in the fucking menu thing fucking don't open
uh those are both capcom games those are yeah those are both like hey let's let's sign the deal
oh okay it's gone now oh forgot about did he have anything to do with dragon's dogma no no
absolutely not i want to feel like he did well if he did then good for him gave him advice but
dragon's dogma was very much as an old music composer he pushed his his connections yeah maybe
uh but that's all it's soon us baby uh dragon's dogma uh and we'll take one from uh opi he says
embrace the nineties mm-hmm they're different people i know i know i got i got the easy thing
you're going for because the brain goes goes anthony one two um i should have said house anthony
yeah i wish i could go back in time and correct this mistake for you no house faunsey embrace the
nineties um sure i do every day what's your favorite flash game thanks flash game flash game oh i know
mine okay oh that's tough uh what a good question good i don't know does it involve a certain jake
man sure sure booty call series played shit loads of that mm-hmm i can see that uh for me just by
sheer number of like hours i spent playing it it would have to be n mm m n n okay so before
n plus and then plus plus it was a flash game called n and i i played it like every single day
kitty cannon is another one for a very long time i played a lot where you launched a kitty and uh
you tried to zowzow is not a game so that doesn't really count yeah by the time it became a game it
sucks nude does not count it was not flash uh it's for me it's not even close it's a winnie the pooh
oh that's java script isn't it oh is it i think so because it feels too new
think it's too no oh come on it might be flash i might be wrong is that fucking flash i'll look
at it i think it's i think it's flash i think it's flash i think you're right i think it's flash
okay yeah absolutely christopher robin fucking hell satan spawned whenever i get like depressed i
go play that game yeah and it makes me more depressed and it doesn't work and i don't know
why i do that but um yeah and then flash died so that's the end of that it's unsafe browser plugin
fuck it um there was that there was that there was that uh spongebob racing game it is it is yeah
there was that spongebob racing game that was like you drive this car and it's just impossibly hard
it like i don't know it's it's no it is described it's a platformer and you drive sideways and
controlling the car is just so difficult you're you're having fun thinking because liam showed me
this when we were talking about the home run derby and it was just like we got on a whole kick of
like games made for children that are just possibly hard because of how poorly made they are yeah you
know and it was like it was so enjoyable because it was like what child has a chance has a chance
of getting past the first i'd like to give a runner-up trophy to frog fractions sure i also
believe his main friend sure sure sure yep yep yep uh okay well um now jake you can't talk to that
guy he fucks all types of girls where are you man i'm gonna talk to him available on the romp.com
