Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, good afternoon, it's like 1.30, it's morning for us, it's morning for us, I woke up at 9 o'clock, okay well, good morning, good morning, hey good morning every all the view listeners out there hey I'm throwing down the gauntlet so I watched anaconda 2, anaconda last night, never mind anaconda 1, take it, because it was added on Netflix and I was like oooh, John Voight's the one in anaconda 1 right, run with it, John Voight yeah, this is because A, here's a couple things I haven't watched it since in a couple years, John Voight, John Voight is basically Tommy Wiseau, yeah, his accent is weird and all over the place, yeah, because he's supposed to be, I am Paul Sarone and he's like I cannot,
Starting point is 00:01:00 like it's like a mix of everything, there's a couple of interesting things about anaconda where I'm like you know what doesn't hold up, the anaconda, the animatronics of the anaconda, I thought it was all CG, that's one of the easiest things to do is a big animatronics thing, when there's a snake just looking, it's animatronics, that's not hard at all, no, no, no, so those don't hold up in the sense that like man that doesn't look as good, but I can forgive it because it's 1997, you know what's actually the problem with anaconda, hey, we have a monster movie where the big monster is a soundless monster because it's a snake, unless you're talking about a rattlesnake, you got to pipe in that, no, no, no, I forgot this, that every single thing that
Starting point is 00:01:42 anaconda does, there's this screeching buzzard, but they're fucked because we can't have a monster that makes no sound, it's stupid, especially when it's on fire, they put a fake monster noise in its mouth, like every second, I'm like holy shit, this is what actually makes the movie bad, because when I'm watching it, I'm like, whoa, the anaconda is not in it all that much, and it's basically like, oh, we're being terrorized by John Boyd's creepy character, and there's a subplot going on, and it's actually not that bad, but whenever the anaconda is on screen, I'm like, holy shit, I forgot about it, as a kid I was probably like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:22 It's the name of the fucking movie though, that's fine, the anaconda is the person inside us that wants to get money, that wants, there's like snakes in the grass and snakes that stab you in the back with their little snakes, I can't think of a single thing I'm more tired of than we were the monsters all along, we were the snakes, well, it's only the one guy, everyone else is nice with it. The snakes were the snakes. And the other dumb thing is that like, I think who is it? I think it's Jennifer Lopez, that just shoots the anacondas face a bunch of times, and it
Starting point is 00:02:55 just kind of falls down the water, it's like meow, and then they're like, that's the end of that chapter, and then they're like, oh, there's the other anaconda we haven't seen until now, the black one that's red, and there's another anaconda boss, and Leanna's like, I'm turning over, I'm not watching anymore, she just falls asleep, and I'm like, whatever, you're missing it, this is where Ice Cube takes the axe. And another subtitle for the movie is Anaconda Ice Cube falls down, because every scene, he falls down. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:30 We thought for a second that he was actually telling the truth. Yeah, I thought that was a wild speed type thing going on. Oh, God, yeah, in what language? I'd like to look it up, because the other sequels I've never seen have anaconda that search for the blood orchids, David Hasselhoff. So here's a question, and then a follow-up question. How do they kill it, slash, does it get it good? Is there a decent takeout?
Starting point is 00:03:59 First boss, anaconda, gets shot in the head with a sniper rifle a bunch of times, and the puppet just has gibbs coming off it. And the second boss, anaconda, the black one, is in a smokestack, and it's been coiling up the ladder that's inside the smokestack to chase the sumptuous Jennifer Lopez butt, and it gets caught up in there, and then they put gasoline, and they blow up the smokestack. She jumps out the top, falls in the water, and then the smokestack explodes, and you see the anaconda body fall like a lick of the snowflake, just fall in the water as it's on fire, and then it goes, the animatronic just does sweeping takes of the set, and it
Starting point is 00:04:42 goes, mew, mew, and it slowly dips into the water. Then it jumps out again, because it clearly doused the flames, and Ice Cube hits it in the head a bunch of times with an axe. They should have just done that part first. And there's the other thing too, is the process, that it's like, when you're in your theme or your monster is a large animal, and it's like Resident Evil Zero. But it's clearly become not worth it to go after this food anymore, and you're on fire and burning and falling out of smokestacks, but you're still like, but I'm hungry though,
Starting point is 00:05:19 so the only thing you can do is assume that this giant animal is actually full of evil intent. That's what I was about to say, because it's hunger would mean I'm fucking off. It feels like a great leader throughout the movie. At some point, animals just go, this ain't worth it, and they fucking piece. Now this is particularly stupid, because at the time of 97, I didn't know much about snakes other than like most people do, but now they own a snake. It's like, it eats Owen Wilson, and then I'm like, well, it's good for a year.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Wow. He's inside the tummy. But then he eats multiple people in days. No. And then there's one time where he eats John Voight, and everyone's like, oh, look at him get eaten. That's cool. And then I go like, yes, it's, Leanna goes, why would it kill again?
Starting point is 00:06:08 I'm like, because it's an evil boss snake. But then I forgot that he throws up John Voight so he can eat again. So he makes room. Like five minutes. Yeah. Why? Because of rage. John Voight doesn't taste good.
Starting point is 00:06:24 So being, so having had someone be swallowed and it would save the hunger and the movie would end. So the movie can't end. So he has to throw that guy up and go to eat someone else, but he can't just like snap their necks. And in a previous scene, he snaps someone like the snake calls around him, grabs onto someone's head and twists it. And it cracks.
Starting point is 00:06:42 So he's dead. So rage has been satiated. Yes. The snake is evil. Gigantism in scary animals creates evil inside the bones. Mal intent. Like you know, deep down while there's a friendly exterior Clifford and his bones see that's different because Clifford grew that size because of love.
Starting point is 00:07:04 So the love counteracted the evil in his bones and so he's a regular dog brought up with like rage and hatred. How much bigger would he be now? And then the follow up was, do you feel that other giant animal threats like have gotten it like in a fair way? Okay, like for example, like what's the best way any of these ones gets taken out like Jaws. Monkey's getting sought in half.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Fuck you. Yeah. Lasers. Lasers. Right. Yeah. Jaws exploded. Explosion is always good.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Jaws exploded from the inside of his mouth. Yeah. But like, do you get that? Do you have that thing where it's like the more this thing kills, the more of a pain in the ass it is, the more spectacular it's got to get blown up because the final tremor, the final grab void and tremors jumps off the cliff and then it's a big practical garbage bag filled with orange guts and they just dropped it and then all the guts like shoots out practically and like coats and that looks awesome.
Starting point is 00:08:02 So yeah, judging by how much, how much shit people have to go through, the giant animal death has to be spectacular because like if it just kind of is the, if it's really like soft and flaccid, like, I don't know, let's say like a megalodon just gets beached and then it just flops around for a while and then that's a little though, but it is. But it's like, but as the thing that consumed an entire jet ski and a man, you kind of like, you're like, no, your revenge boner wants to see that I love that you include on the evil list of things that the shark consumed a jet ski and, and, and everyone else and everything else.
Starting point is 00:08:38 The point is, is that at a certain in the movie after it builds up and it's like, oh, this asshole has been like taking us out. You kind of want that like spectacular finish. Like if someone's crawling on the ground and the cathagic is about to eat them and then it just falls over and they're like, oh, I died of via food poisoning. Yeah. Or something really soft, you know, the cathagic trips down the stairs. It kind of just shits because it has diarrhea and then it just gets like two or nine falls
Starting point is 00:09:03 down the stairs and that he's fucked now. Yeah. I mean, it's funny, but yeah. Well, as I got to say, your question is, is like, you can expand that easily outwards to everything so that your antagonist period, the worse they are, the better they got to get the better they got to get it. That's an invisible action movie. You know, and it's, and you can, you can combine that with the action movie rule of
Starting point is 00:09:28 villain gravity in which villain go up villain must come down. Yeah, the usually from a tall, tall building and the cameras looking down on them. Like, like, think how fucking bad Mad Dog gets it in fucking the raid. Sure. Versus versus a movie where after going on a murder rampage, villain just gets arrested and goes to jail. How do you feel about like original King Kong where he just gets shot off the building? Yeah, I mean, that's a pretty no, but that's a huge your way up.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Like, like, like, like, yeah, gravity will always counterbalance that like the karma meter, if you would. Well, because the thing is always big. So it's always making a big Chris Black. So like imagine again, like, yeah, I like imagine the ghost in the darkness or you one of those, you know, things where it's like all you do is you just feed it some like poison meat and tranquilizer and then you just watch it go to sleep. And then it's dead.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And then the movie's over or we talked about last on the Komodo dragon just kills you just by over the course of weeks or by watching unless you put it to sleep and or like it dies like slowly with poison. And then you go when you put a like TNT next to it and then run away and then kaboom or what about if they're the villain of your movie is a bunch of stupid idiots and eat a bunch of food and drink a bunch of things they shouldn't drink and then just drop dead halfway through your story. Yes, but like more of the world's.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Oh, OK, well, maybe that is the most unsatisfying comeuppance to that alien race ever. I can get what they're going with that. Like it's such a grand enemy. You can never defeat it. So it's like the way of defeating it was basically doing nothing. I can't stand that idea. It's like smart enough to fucking travel through space, but they don't know what fucking germs are.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Independence Day, right? Fucking let's go up into the mothership and bring a cold with us. Yeah, but no, that's hey, man, that's Goldblum virus. No, but the point is that the speed at which it has to infect everything has to be instantaneous, that leads to the grand spectacular crash because the real version of that, where they slowly get sick and die over the course of years while humanity is dominated, ain't that great for a Michael Bay, right?
Starting point is 00:11:39 I mean, cinematically in general, it's not great, but signs. These aliens are looking really sick. We could probably wait like a little bit. Signs is the actual worst, though. The fucking planet's like 70 percent water. That there's water in the air. They should be dissolving at all times. I mean, any any in the movie with aliens land on earth.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I'm like, yeah, like how did you land on earth out of all things? Like how did you land on the ground? But I also got down the rabbit hole of like ice cube. Yeah, ice cube was in a couple of movies. He had to go. Obviously. Then I was like, oh, remember DMX or DMX was on four or five movies or the exact same movie. And I was like Romeo must die cradle to the grave.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Cradle to the grave is the one I couldn't remember. Then I fell down another really, really quick rabbit hole where I was on Xbox video and just looking around. I was like, demon die or vampiro. And I'm like, what are these movies? What just an update? DMX is in jail right now. Yeah, we know. Just checking. OK, just check the website is DMX in jail dot com.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I saw a movie called Vampiro. I'm like, is this about like vampiro? No, it's not some action guy. Fuck you. You thought it was about vampiro. The fucking box art, the little thumbnail. It could have been anything. So I'm like, what is it? And I'm like, oh, it's some action.
Starting point is 00:12:57 I'll watch a trailer and it's just really bad. You can barely hear the dialogue in the trailer. It's all film low budget. And I see a guy and he looks really, really familiar. And it says directed and written by Damien Chapa. And I'm like, I don't sound familiar. And then I look and I see his name and I'm like, oh, what's the other thing he's done? There's fucking dozens of bad action movies.
Starting point is 00:13:19 It says Damien Chapa, Damien Chapa directed. And they're all like Mexican gangbanger movies or like Supernatural. And I look and I look down his IDM, the Ken Street Fighter Van Dam. Just ever since then hasn't stopped making movies. Can't stop like Terry Bogard. And he's got a like Terry Bogard. A little. Why don't you fill that one? Terry Bogard from the King of Fighters, a bad live action movie
Starting point is 00:13:46 is the director of Deadpool, too. The director of Atomic Blonde. Fucking what? Yeah, and half of the directing team of John Wick one. So there's that Hollywood, man. I guess he was OK. Hey, yeah, I don't know about you, but if I were in charge of the Anaconda franchise and or some other shit, you will one day and or some other shitty,
Starting point is 00:14:08 stupid fucking animal beast franchise, why not just go contact the Congo people and be like, can't escape from crossing fate? Anaconda cross Congo, Anacongo. Here's the problem, Congo, Congo, Kanda, the giant, giant monkeys, giant snakes, humans in the middle. Chance against the big Anaconda. But then you have to then you increase the size until it does have a chance. Wait. No, that's the problem is it's a it's one big monster versus a group.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Yeah. So you increase the size until the numbers make it work. How many toddlers to take you down? There's lots of versus infinity. There's lots of versus giant beast movies, but they're all like crazy ones. They're not established ones that came back later. It's like two headed shark versus mecha shark. OK, are those crazy or like or like the the monkeys have that advantage. Then the monkeys are also infected with some sort of stupid rabbit thing.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Yeah, that makes a single bite like poisonous Congo. You know, like whatever the fuck, who cares? Congo cross planet of the apes. See, there you go. No, no, no, no, no, no. Because all it is is planet of the apes. They just get the laser cannons. Yeah, it's already a dystopia. It's not. You're dystopia.
Starting point is 00:15:23 It's like that. There's too much concept happening in planet of the apes. Hold on. I think he's really listening to Matt on this. I think you might be too much concept. No, because it's you need something where the only premise is giant animal. And it doesn't go further than that. I have a way more interesting Congo King Kong. Well, if you had to pick the Congo in the darkness,
Starting point is 00:15:45 if you had to pick an animal for your personal because the Congo movie and it is an animal has to be a real animal. Yeah, what would you pick? And you can't pick any of the cool ones that have already been taken. OK, I'd go for a giant freakish like Bird of Prey. OK, that's the giant claw claw, the giant claw. I've never heard of that from a fifties movie. You would never know. OK, well, that's like that's not fair.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Dude, that's got to be brand new. That's fucking what, 70 years ago? Yeah, like no. AVGN covered it. That's how I saw it. OK, fuck off. No, giant bird, like Birdemic did that. One one bird, one rodent. There was a standalone rodent movie, but that wasn't like the point that we have
Starting point is 00:16:24 to you need to pick something like the point that we had to reach this far. The thing the point that we had to reach this far means giant hawk or eagle type thing hadn't been done. I would pick carnivorous triceratops. Is there such a thing? No. OK, fake animals. It does. That's a real animal that you just said it doesn't exist. Well, I mean, animals that don't exist.
Starting point is 00:16:48 They're like at all. Yeah, carnivorous. You just need it to kill. OK, murderous. Fine. No, it eats people for evil. You said triceratops. Yeah, I said triceratops. OK, OK, hold on. Are we talking about that's a real animal? Are we talking about things that exist to date? No, you can pick any animal.
Starting point is 00:17:06 OK, oh, don't creativity here. Geez, Megalodon. Yeah, you know what I mean? Look at that point. Yeah, I already moved to that. You know what I pick? What's that? I pick a giant capybara and see how fast that was all but all it does. I said giant bird right away. And that was all it wasn't wrong. Fuck you walk around and like be chill with everyone.
Starting point is 00:17:24 How big are we talking? Like 50 feet. OK, that's fucking about OK. Like it doesn't. And if it breaks things, it's like, oh, I'm sorry. You could go with the movie. You could go with a sloth that like very slowly. Like in the middle of the night. Jack, a sloth is scary in your window. So like if you look and you just see this
Starting point is 00:17:42 curve, yeah, claw and yeah, that's scary. And it very slowly inserts it into your mouth and then grabs the bottom of your jaw and just rips it off. Let me ask you guys, because you ever touch a capybara? No, touch. No. Yeah, they're very unpleasant to pet. Because they're prickly. Yeah, they're very prickly. I just seen the one in the biodome.
Starting point is 00:18:02 And that's it's awful. What about a duck and its giant croaks corkscrew day? That that would I. So you don't even need the corkscrew dick. You ever look at a fucking duck's mouth like a close up? Oh, yeah, it's horrifying. It's horrible. They're horrible creatures. But the corkscrew dick would be extra bad.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Yeah. And it just shoots that through a building. Yeah. Yeah. See, that's all tunnels. It's still a bird. You said a bird of prey. A giant fucking bird. Well, this will this will become a fucking a giant duck of prey. Fucking do what would it be called? What would he call the movie?
Starting point is 00:18:35 Has to be a duck. I can't come up with a pun that fast. I don't know. I'm not that good. Or its tagline quackenstein. That's terrible. The fucking cork stops duckinator. The duck stops here. No, there it is.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Duck, it's the giant duck. Fuck, this is terrible. Yeah, it is. It's a doll. Duck you, August 8th. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a tagline. That's good, that's good. Oh, important, important decisions being made.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Yeah, here. So, you know what? Yeah, cool. I watched I watched Anaconda, but I also saw Deadpool too. Yeah, you did. You know, when you said, is it a good movie? And you said, don't care. Don't that doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Don't worry about it. I worried about it. And it kind of did matter to me, sort of. Where I'm like, the first hour of Deadpool 2, I straight up did not enjoy. It's rambling. It's rambling. It's awkward.
Starting point is 00:19:38 It's kind of unfunny for the most part. I mean, I smell once or twice, but I'm like, OK, and for me, it's only when X-Force jumped out of the plane where I'm like, now we have some momentum and we're all right, cool. Obviously, to avoid big spoilers, but since both you guys know, I'll just say this. Spare the audience. I'm not sure if that gag was worth it.
Starting point is 00:20:03 OK, OK, for X-Force. OK, yeah. It's I think it is worth it, but I'm not sure about how close it is where I'm like, I don't know. That gag was made the movie for me personally. I it is. Yeah, maybe, maybe I get so little people saying that.
Starting point is 00:20:22 But and like, I thought it was great. But I thought it was like it was funny. And it's a thing that Deadpool can do. But I did want to see at least. Yeah, but a lot of a lot of a lot of it is very predictable in the sense that, well, that's why I said what I said. Or it's like, was it good? And I said, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:20:41 You know, funny. But I really enjoyed Domino. I like a lot. Domino is great. I want to see a Domino. Just Domino. Domino. This version of Domino is fantastic. Domino's luck thing makes for great fucking action. Watch it too.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Just don't worry about that's an actual don't worry. And it works. And it works here. And it wouldn't work in any other movie that was serious. Yeah, if Domino was running around being Domino in X-Men or in any other power is like inherently goofy. Yeah. So anyone that that anything that happens and it's more serious story with her powers involving it
Starting point is 00:21:16 like would be like that, but it works here. And I enjoying cable. I didn't really enjoy those two shoehorned in villains that we kind of talked about where I'm like, oh, OK, well, I mean, it's cool. One of them is that guy, but whatever. And also the final, the mid credit scene. Again, not saying anything about it,
Starting point is 00:21:34 but I was kind of disappointed with it. Oh, no, mostly because like everyone's telling me it's amazing. And like you got under you got under tail. I try not to get under tail like that. But even if I wasn't told, I was disappointed in the sense that those were jokes that the first movie did. They're they they make fun of those two exact things in the first movie.
Starting point is 00:21:55 They do it. Dude, they do it way better. I rather those jokes be taken away from the first movie and just be left there because then there have been more poem for me. But I think if yeah, this is a situation. This is definitely one of those like catch it right away. Walk out, enjoy it things and then like the discussion afterwards because the only thing people are talking about
Starting point is 00:22:16 with Deadpool to is that right. So it's kind of like time has ruined that, unfortunately. No, like I said, but not ruined. That's a really strong word. Yeah, I just I also not knowing it wasn't the same. Not knowing anything about any of that while going in, not hearing me, not hearing him would have made a difference. The word you're looking for is muted.
Starting point is 00:22:39 It's muted the impact. It's muted the the yeah, spontaneity. Yeah, I did also see another film that I'm late to. I'm late to it. But I finally saw Coco on because that got added to Netflix. And that that is up there on on Pixar movies for me now. That's only which was that. That's the day of the dead.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Oh, yeah, I'm a musician. And it was it was Fandango. Sorry. Grim Fandango, right. Actually, there was another movie that's another CG animated movie for kids. It's the exact same thing. It's called called the Book of Life or the. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but like, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:16 very few people saw it relatively compared to a Pixar movie. But I enjoyed it. It was pretty predictable, like even more predictable than like, you know, an animated Pixar movie can be where I'm like, yeah, that's that. Yeah. Yeah. It was still really enjoyable and like visually, it's amazing. So that that was really fun. And I became a godparent over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:23:38 How about that? Yeah, yeah, yesterday. And I'm told, all right, we're now beholden to that child's religious education. Very scary. Well, no, I'm beholden to if the parents die because there's not any real religious education going on. But Charlotte or as I like to call it,
Starting point is 00:23:55 a little goblin hands because she's got gross little goblin hands at this stage of her life. Yes, children. It's gross. But I'm told, hey, you're going to have to stand up and and and you and Leanna are going to have to hold the baby for a bit. And that's it. I'm like, OK, cool. And I don't have a problem sitting down. And the priest really seemed to take a liking to me, whereas like, this is my husband, Matthew.
Starting point is 00:24:14 And he goes, oh, Matthew, oh, you're a good guy. And I'm like, well, I'm assuming the very religious name of Matthew probably strikes a chord. And then first look at the New Testament, bro. Yeah. And suddenly thrust into a bunch of things. I was not told that I handled fine. But for a second, I'm like, all right, man, now light the candle that's in the gigantic candle that's seven feet tall that you're going
Starting point is 00:24:39 to have to reach with a smaller candle, which you've practiced every every weekend, right? Every weekend. And I read about that every you've had so much experience throughout your life doing this. And I'm like, oh, just do it. Just do the same thing you've always been doing. I'm going to burn the church down. I'm going to burn the church down. I'm going to burn it down. I'm going to burn down.
Starting point is 00:24:57 It all burns down fucking Seth Rollins over here. Yeah. And I light the thing and the guy goes, oh, great. Take I don't like here here. And he's like, yeah, I'll take the the the candle. Thank you. And he goes, Matt, now pour the holy water in. Shop. And I'm like, well, at least if I burn down the thing, I have water to douse it with. Maybe I'm not allowed to use it.
Starting point is 00:25:17 It's not even potent. You can't douse fire with holy water. Is what you're saying. There's never enough. This holy water is only kept in small quantities for vampires. I'm filling this this basin with water and it's going into like this pedestal. And I'm like, is this a resident evil puzzle? I feel so weird.
Starting point is 00:25:36 And I'm like, why didn't fucking no one tell me about this? Again, I did fine. It's possible that everyone just assumed that you knew. The the actual parents on Liana knew that I didn't know. Oh, well, then then then you got hold of the priest assumed as you as a good Catholic, Matthew would know. Else would I be here, you know, and everyone's reciting the prayers. And I'm like, I'm just I'm just making my my mouth flaps move.
Starting point is 00:26:07 So if anyone looks over at me, they'll think I'm sage, because I don't know any of this stuff. Why why didn't it wouldn't like a priest just pray over the ocean and turn it all into holy water doesn't work like that. It's a lot. It takes a lot of magical power because like people do like like when you do like kosher meat, for example, that's how it works. Straight up when they're when you're going through the beef factories and stuff,
Starting point is 00:26:28 like you pretty much have the conveyor belt that that moves the the rabbi around as he's blessing and their needs to do every individual thing. Right. And they're drinking a cow prior. No, it's during the process, but it's pretty much a mass process where it's like it's almost like moving along and like if they're all getting blessed as like the the AOE here's the deal. The AOE kicks in. Yeah. And then they're all getting blessed as he moves around.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Right. So what I'm saying is like if you expect, especially if you had like a vampire problem, if you just bless all the water in this water source. All right. So here's the problem. It becomes blessed. Here's the problem priests, rabbis and what have you. They have an AOE. Yes, but there's a limited width and depth to that when you're dealing with a body of water that is flowing or large, like a lake and above. Right. The priest is going to got it.
Starting point is 00:27:18 It's going to bless it. Got it. And then it's going to get diluted by Satan's evil from the deep. All right. Check this out. I was going to say, I thought the priest can't bless what he can't see. Check it out. So the ocean is almost when you have a fjord that has the body of water, then peel off, right? And it cuts inland or a river. You have priest shops, little priest towers set up like lifeguards set up at the break points.
Starting point is 00:27:44 So each break point has one. So that means all the water going inland has been blessed and becomes holy water. It might get diluted as it goes back out into the ocean. But the shit coming into where the people are is pre-blessed. I feel so. It's all automatically holy water like there's an easier solution here. You sentry tower it and it's you, you don't bless the water itself. What you do is bless the instrument of the water's pathing. So say there's a dam, bless the dam.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Now, all the water that comes out, the dam is technically blessed or pseudo. See, Adam, no, but no, but no, and then that's the other thing you bless. No, no, no, no, no, but the object is not going to transfer that. You understand? Like you have to pick the specific object. The problem is that a body of water is constantly moving. So you put a bottle in the ocean on one side. Also, it'll end up over there. So that's no good.
Starting point is 00:28:30 So you influence from the core of the earth comes through the ocean. So if you set up the sentry towers and then furthermore have a rotating cast, have a rotating like shifts so that you've got someone on blessed duty for about six hours, probably until you get super tired. And then he goes to bed and then another one replaces him. You always have 24 seven holy water blessings. And then everything you're getting in is automatically holy. And like any time a vampire shows up,
Starting point is 00:28:57 you're like, fuck you, turn the tap on, throw it at him. The vampire show up to the well, because vampires want to eat. And there's so vampire shows up and he's like, ah, I'm going to suck your blood up at the ocean. Yeah. Vampires shows up because I want to suck your blood. And you just grab the nearest. There aren't many ocean going. You grab the vampires. Like you could just don't know why we're going on vampires. There's just general demons. I just mentioned vampires offhand.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Now, well, he's prepping well, no, no, because I'm like the vampires. You always think about like you throw the holy water at them, right? That's the thing. You knew all sorts of shit. I don't automatically jump to to holy water with vampires. No, I jumped to cross. I jumped to stake, but onions. No, wait, garlic. Well, it's not about it's not about it's not my love onions.
Starting point is 00:29:38 No, but it's not about what you jump to based on vampire. It's about what do you jump to with holy water in your hand? I mean, if I'm going to throw it's like, think about the object, not the not the thing to kill. If I'm going to hold if I'm holding holy water in my hand, the first thing in my brain is I'm throwing it at a vampire. I just I just think there's like better ways to do it. Like, let's say what else are you using it?
Starting point is 00:29:56 Well, no, no, like you said holy water, right? That's like, I'd always go for a sunlight with vampires. So you send you send the vampire a note saying you've won a free boat come at seven a.m. in this spot in the desert and then the vampire will die. Yeah, unless they want the free boat. OK, unless you're smart, like you can cross and they just wear sunscreen. That works, too.
Starting point is 00:30:21 But what I'm saying is up and I don't even have a boat. So get fucked, I guess. But but look, think about it the other way. You're holding holy water in your hand. Yeah. What are you doing with it? Well, I have an answer to that. Super so the number one. You know, what are you fucking listening to me?
Starting point is 00:30:36 The number one use of holy water is to throw it at children. That is the number one. Yes, you drip it. You drip it at children. No, you fucking throw it. That they drip it on the heads. Yeah, I've been asked to make sure. I saw it yesterday.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Vampires. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Yeah. But or demon. But then what's the or demon? Like, but if we were on the fucking family feud and it's like, that's number one, what's number two? Number two, werewolves. What's number two?
Starting point is 00:31:02 You're throwing it at a fucking vampire. Throw that super natural. Come on. Let's not try to weasel out of that. That's that's what it is. You know what you need to do? You need to get like a silver water bottle and get a priest to bless that. And then when you're out of holy water, that's good.
Starting point is 00:31:18 That's good. So no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's got to be sharp, too. Yeah. And it's got to have a cross shape in it. Yeah. So you've got a cross shaped water bottle that's made of silver and it's got spikes on it and it and it holds the holy water and that and it's like it like, say, imagine like I'm holding a big red bull can, but imagine instead it was like you would hold that, that and it would wrap around your fist and it'd be really awkward, horrible looking water
Starting point is 00:31:40 bottle. It's basically just a big iron fist with spikes on it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then also it's got garlic in it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So that. So it stinks. It's holy, stinky garlic. Garlic flavored. So you can even like drink it and like spit it at the guy like like acid
Starting point is 00:31:54 style, like ride in and like it's super hated. Yeah. That'd be good. It would. So yeah, that was that was that was a ride for me. And we had this like long seven hour lunch, dinner thing that was really fun. But you know, I got messed up, got a little too much wine. So I just slept the rest of the day. Um, I said, yeah, so yeah, you and me, you and plague were sending me messages
Starting point is 00:32:20 yesterday, completely miss all of it. What if you bless? Wow, he's still thinking. What if you bless the range down in Africa? I was waiting for the second part of that. So I'm glad. Right. Well, what if a cherry boy?
Starting point is 00:32:32 What if Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday. Sorry. Here's the deal. What you do, you don't bless the reins because that's tough. No, you but you bless the evaporation process. You bless the fucking seed cloud seeding cannon that causes the reins. This will lead to Holy Reigns. The Holy, the Holy Reign has to like, you have to get it all before it goes up, though, because once it comes down, each drop is almost like too, too separate.
Starting point is 00:32:57 So you have to get it in that misty form on the way up. Yeah. And then the Holy Rain comes down and like all monsters are fucking. What if you just got a big, like a big, like a big, uh, like a, like a priest ball, like a like a ball of priests, like put them on a catamaran. No, no, no, no. Okay. Oh, I got it.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Okay. So priest ball. You know how, you know how, uh, uh, the Catholic priest has the incense and they swing the incense. Absolutely. Yeah. Okay. What if you got like a hundred priests, right?
Starting point is 00:33:27 And you put them in a big ball and they had air holes and stuff so they could do their incantations and then you swing that over a very big area, like they're the incense and they do like a mass blessing over the area. Oh, okay. Okay. No, no, no, what you do is a priest have to be holding or can anyone be holding the incense and you have a priest on the construction thing that's moving it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:52 So here's, here's what you get. You know the sprinkler systems, right? Yeah. You get a sprinkler system, but you get the complete dome water, like, like there's no breaks in the water. And then you have that expand out and like at different areas, you just cover the whole thing and the holy water is covering. It's like a perfect dome.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Um, man, he's really terrified of vampires. And then, yeah, have you ever seen water jet packs? Ghosts aren't real, but Jesus, I have my vampire character. I have seen a ghost jet pack and I've seen a guy try and use it and then eat hard shit and knock himself out immediately. So you get the water jet packs, but you're a priest. So all the water is being blessed right behind you as you're jetting around. You're like if, if Mario from Mario Sunshine with the flood, right?
Starting point is 00:34:28 Exactly. So all that holy water is shooting out behind you and you're above that you're higher up so you can cover a larger area as you fucking bless. Here's the deal. Plus Mario could definitely become a priest in his later years. You could definitely see it. Here's, here's the deal. I know a lot of create floods for the Catholic Church.
Starting point is 00:34:46 I know a lot about the Pope cause I watched dogma back in the nineties. And the deal is that if the Pope says something works, then it works, right? So all Pope got to do is say, Hey, all you have to do is touch water for it to become blessed, no incantations or, or whatever necessary. And also everybody can do it. I'm changing the game. Then all of a sudden your fucking tap can kill a vampire. Oh yeah, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Bam, bam. I guess so. I guess that would work. You punch the vampire a little bit, just jam him in the tap. But what did you have? Other Cardinals need to like confer with him saying, No, you can't say that. Motherfucker is complete. Motherfucker, 911 monster emergency.
Starting point is 00:35:29 We're on our way. Priest themed fire truck pulls up, fucking hits the water hydrants. That's, that's totally hands on the water. Makes sense to me because they have, they have a lot of water, but not like an endless ocean amount. So it's like completely, right? Really, really hands on the fire hydrant water inside insta blessed. This is a fucking hero academia weaponized that shit and throw it at the
Starting point is 00:35:55 monster, go home, collect your paycheck. Yeah, you don't get paid. Done. All it's a job. It's a job. But the higher charity, man, so you just have these cross fire hydrants set up all around town, you can't park in front of them, big buff guys and ordain them so they can be like the hot fire.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you got to have that whole like sliding down the pole, getting into the, the, the priest truck or really you could destroy all of these ideas and just hire redeemer. I mean, that'll do to come down. And he can just, we can, we can, we can do anything. You can do anything. But I'd rather, I'd rather design a pop hat that was also part fireman's helmet.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Yeah. And a, and a fireman's jacket that was also part like, like papal robe. And it's also, and it's also, you can also see his dress though. Yeah, exactly. And there's suspenders and on the cross, there's a, there's a cross too. Right. And there's suspenders and the point where the suspenders and the pants join together, there's like a fancy ornate cross there and you can like pull them up
Starting point is 00:36:51 and you can just be like a buff, priestess, priestess. I look forward to the animated version of this conversation. Priest fighters. Priest fighters, you know, you take all the priest characters from fighting games, you can make a full roster. Yeah. Yeah. They're like firefighters.
Starting point is 00:37:03 They co, they all, I mean, they have their axes, you know, they're ready to go. Just go like all New Testament guys, get them all in there. Yeah. Have a lion there as the boss. Have what? A lion. Like the animal? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Why is the lion a boss? Because, because it's the ancient creature that eats Christians. Back in the day. Oh, that's, that's, that's where you went. So anyway, super red, super red fire hydrant designs. Sandbag real bad. Super red priest firefighter designs. And then you got to design the truck itself, right?
Starting point is 00:37:38 And you got to have white, of course, but it's got to be white with gold. And it's got to have like little bits of, or it can be even, or you can even have like the, the, the more, the more like different designs, because some people are like more papal and with the white and gold, but then you can have the guy that's like, I'm wearing all black and I just have the little color, right? You can go that way too. So you can be a different style of priest. The notes how like senior, like how much seniority you have.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Yeah. Like there's all kinds of priest fighter designs out there, you know, but I think quite frankly, as long as you're part of the team and you roll out when, when the monsters like when the monster strike, I can even think of a Saturday morning theme for this group. And they're all riding on the truck. One of them's riding on one of them's riding on top, right? One of them is driving it.
Starting point is 00:38:19 It's got a full accessory set. Each one has like a specialty. Yeah. You could insert, he has like hydro, um, uh, holy water grenades. The, yeah, that's, that's always right. Like, but, but the heavy guy would have that, right? He has an axis in the shape of a cross. The, the, you know, you, you can put in, um, um, you can put in sure is the
Starting point is 00:38:39 body of Christ, you can put it in and load it in and like, like, shoot, load, shoot out like pizza from the truck, you know, from the, you can get that going, right? Oh, you know, like how the, you know, the Ghostbusters had the containment field and they set the thing. So like they have like this shroud of Turin where they wrap it around the monsters. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Find it and they drag them around. Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't know. There's just like a badass, like none one. And like, yeah, yeah, no, but she's super sexy. She's like a nun fighter. Biggie titty. And she's super like fast and she's got like all the tactical like.
Starting point is 00:39:07 She's like sizzle from Stunt Dogs. All the weapons. Absolutely. Yeah. Glad I got Stunt Dogs in there. Um, speaking of little cartoons, one final thing. Um, there was a gem in the holograms live action fanfare movie, a fan movie on Kickstarter to be like, fuck that movie.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Yeah. That one. Yeah. And it stars the girl that played triple H in, uh, wrestling is in wrestling. So there's a few other people in there. And it was just like, this is for fans by fans. I put some money into it.
Starting point is 00:39:34 There was something like $13,000 they wanted. Finally came out a few weeks ago and I watched it. Um, not much to say other than it's just like a cartoon format. Like it's a 30 minute. Now back to Jim, right? It was okay. It's about what you can expect from a fan film, but there was a, a can escape from crossing fate moment that that's all I'll say that someone
Starting point is 00:40:00 else shows up. Is this a crossover episode? And the other thing is that if anyone wants to watch this, I'm not sure if it's available to anyone on YouTube, but that's where I watched it. But I, I'm a backer. I don't know. If you do watch this, watch it with closed captioning on, um, YouTube. Cause that's where I got most of my hilarity in that gem is not really a
Starting point is 00:40:23 name, the way it's spelt. So, and also Jerica gems, uh, alter ego is also not a name, but the subtitles don't know what to do with the word Jerica. So oftentimes she is known as Jerick from MK four or sometimes Jericho. And I just like, this is the stupidest form of enjoyment. Anytime I'm watching, they're like, where's Jerica at? I don't know. I haven't seen Jericho all day.
Starting point is 00:40:52 And that was just the most in-match wheelhouse it's ever been. It's amazing. Please watch. I've ever do the fucking yell going over the cliff. No, she did it. No, she did it, but it was, it was, it was a fun little thing. But yeah, that's, and I played a bunch of street fighter anniversary collection.
Starting point is 00:41:11 That's, that's me. Oh man. I had the most frustrating fucking thing with that. Sounds like it sounds like it. Me and, what did you do? Me and I patch, well, we're supposed to have a bunch of matches on Sunday. And just absolutely fucking could not get a friend to friend lobby working at all. Just every time we would go into the lobby, one of us would hit ready.
Starting point is 00:41:33 And then the second person would go, you know, the countdown of like 10, nine, eight, and it would go ready, question mark. And if they hit any button, it would cancel out every time. We tried restarting the things. We tried fucking changing every possible setting in that thing. You're playing on PS4. Okay. Now I've never seen that problem.
Starting point is 00:41:54 I've only been playing on the switch. And my, my issues were that it just doesn't work. Like the matches are unplayable. I did play Rocky, who's in Montreal, and that was kind of stable, but it was embarrassing that it wasn't perfect. I normally play it on PC and where the matchmaking has been fine and super fast, but my internet makes that kind of moot. But like, it's just so frustrating.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Like I really liked that collection a lot. I like what's in it. I like the presentation of it. And I like that on the PC, at least from my experience, matches have been fine. But like the fucking number one thing of, hey, I want to play my friend in this game. So while you're on discord and he was saying, yeah, it doesn't work. Did you hear any like, yeah, I can't seem to get into a match? No, no.
Starting point is 00:42:44 You didn't hear any like, yeah, it's just, that's, that's really seems like I can't really connect. I don't know. I'm hitting the button. I don't know what's going on. Creasing, polite frustration. That's really far to go to like set a time to not connect to someone. You're like, he's just like outside flipping burgers, you know, just like, yeah, I'm hitting the button. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Eating all his English food he loves. It's not working sucks. Max put out a review of that game where he basically is like, man, you get a lot of games here. They're really good. But and that's that's the positives. And he's like, all the negatives is like basically everything else. The online is not perfect on any platform.
Starting point is 00:43:24 You're still I wish alpha two gold was there. And like I and then, yeah, that it goes into the thing. If you didn't get any matches, but you must have matches before. It's like, I don't like not getting win quotes after a match. It was cheap. Shut it all down. The giant duck monster movie is called foul play. That's good.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Oh, fuck. That was frustrating. That's good. Let me see. Aside from that, I got I'm still back at 14 playing that. Nothing to say. It's fun. I will you caught up on here, academia.
Starting point is 00:44:04 No, but I caught that this morning. Get caught up now. Otherwise, otherwise, it's going to be really bad. Exactly. And it sucks because get caught up today. I am where I like the well, it's there's I heard that there's a week, right? There's about a week before it's going to get bad. And can you get bad?
Starting point is 00:44:24 Yeah, because there's one big things happening. You can't like, you know, and do anything. Hey, you know what's awesome? Like when every second tweet is a page from Berserk. Yeah, right? Like you can't you just can't. And that's going to happen. So you get no choice.
Starting point is 00:44:37 So it sucks. But like, yeah, next Saturday, the Internet will explode with shit that you don't want to see. I understand that exactly. And there's just nothing you can do about it. So that that happens. And you know, I get it. That means how far back are you?
Starting point is 00:44:49 Well, literally just the beginning of the season. The new one. Yeah. OK, yeah, you don't have much. It's not much to go, but it's just because like one like just. Anyway, like I megalobox is, you know what I mean? Like catching up on that and like fucking five LPs. And yeah, it's just it's a lot, you know. But anyway, yes, I know.
Starting point is 00:45:09 I caught it. Word has made its way around. Catch the fuck up. Don't get caught in the kind of thing where it's like it's it starts at the end of this last week's episode. It'll be bad minute. Yeah. And you're like, yeah. OK, yeah, real good.
Starting point is 00:45:24 I caught that. Also, turn the corner on Aquatine. I finally get it. No, I don't. But I finished the first season and fucking cyber ghost of Christmas past where he fills Carl's pool with blood and then Danzik buys the house. That is a great episode. And I can finally say that I actually very much like Aquatine.
Starting point is 00:45:48 I'm no longer watching it, just going. No, that's a good program and I will continue to watch it. Master Shake is the worst. I hate him. I hate him so much. That's a fancy out here. Yeah, all right. Yes, so anyway, I caught up as of not maybe not the latest, because I think
Starting point is 00:46:11 I caught up and then there's one more episode. But yeah, Megalobox, I'm very surprised that the direction it took is still going. I'm extraordinarily pleased with the direction of Megalobox. And it's like, yeah, it's the I just anyway, I wouldn't at all have predicted the way this this thing is shaping up and the way it's turning out. Yeah. And like, it's so interesting, a very different show than what I thought it was going to be.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Yeah, you know how it's like, you know, you do the thing where you always have like, OK, here's why you're shown in. My protagonist is different. Yeah. The thing here, like the advantages and disadvantages are like creating themselves around him. Yeah, you know, and they're not like and they're fundamental aspects of of the sport of the sport of the sport real.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Yeah, they're real. So like as as the as the world, it's like, it's like, it's like the main character standing, just going like, what's up? And then the world is creating itself around him and balancing itself so that like rock has paper, has scissors. You know what I mean? Like strengths and weaknesses are all being balanced around the main character in an interesting way.
Starting point is 00:47:22 And it's very fun. Megalobox is great. So there's that. I finished off Star Allies and God damn that finale, man. So you're playing it by yourself? Yeah. OK. And I mean, I played the first bit of it like multiplayer, but like just like hammering through to the rest of it.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I just I went solo. You've been playing it like co-op, right? I played I did a book, a stream of it with Liana and co-op, but like, yeah, I mean, meaning to go back because I was like, I was I was like, oh, you're you're kind of a little bit far away from the friendship train, but at least got your friendship bridge and all that. You're act you're very far away from the friendship train. Actually, that's that's that was like, oh, I want to see it.
Starting point is 00:48:12 But like, you're not going to get the friendship train is like, yeah, don't even just just, you know, close your heart to it. To the friendship train is it would be more fun and with four people, but you're having a good time by yourself. Absolutely, because it's I mean, it's fucking great. Well, he's high on Kirby dust. Oh, you can't not have fun. Well, here's I don't want to know where Kirby dust comes off of you.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Scrape it off the Kirby. So on your side, like this is really his uniform. It's really the cool thing about the the cool thing about the Kirby franchise is that Kirby Dandruff can snort it. Yeah, it's and then it just goes to snorts it too. Yeah, it's all it all goes back to the same source. Can Kirby eat himself fully if he wanted to? No, can he suck himself if he wanted to?
Starting point is 00:49:00 Could he suck himself in if he wanted to? But how he could invert himself. He could do anything. He's a cream puff. Kirby could open his mouth, turn it inside out. Just see his horrible innards and then he just become another Kirby. I think he has horrible innards. It's just like a magic space.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I was never a fan. I don't think there's organs in there. No, never a fan of Kirby's guest appearance and attempted anime role in Full Metal Alchemist. I didn't appreciate it. That's not Kirby. That's Kirby. No, it's not. That's Kirby.
Starting point is 00:49:31 They're not that's Kirby with the personality. That's dumb. The eyes aren't even the same. That's not even I like it. I thought you're going to go for a visual bit and it's like, no. But anyway. Um, I hate that. I hate that shit.
Starting point is 00:49:46 What, the voice? Yeah. Why? It's annoying. I don't find it annoying. I think it's cute. Kick it. Oh, we're doing this thing again. I'm sorry. I forgot that. Right. OK, anyway, so the. Just say hi in random spots throughout the podcast.
Starting point is 00:50:00 I don't like this. Well, you shouldn't have aired your weaknesses. You that's fair. Um, I hate when people send me big anime titties on my Twitter. So stop doing that, everybody. What's cool about the Kirby franchise is that like each director that's taken the mantle has had their own style director things. Like, is it always by the same two or three guys?
Starting point is 00:50:25 No, not at all. No, Sakurai hasn't been on it in a minute, dude. Sakurai stopped and then Smith's brothers started and then Shimamura took over for the Dark Matter Trilogy and then after Shimamura, Kuma, Zaki took over for while you were there, returned to Dreamland and up. Did you say the fucking Dark Matter Trilogy?
Starting point is 00:50:49 That's correct. Even I know it's so good. It's so good. Anyway, listen, so the like it's actually really good, though, like all kidding aside, it's there's there's content. So what's awesome about the these each of these like directors, you can see their style and like how it all comes together. And they kind of tend to reference their own work.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Yeah, right. And what's up? No. OK. And so in the case of the Star Allies, right, like you're seeing like him, you're seeing the most recent stuff being referencing like the previous entries that he worked on. So he worked on before return to Dreamland, Triple Deluxe, Robobot,
Starting point is 00:51:36 OK, Robobot, right? Like the whole new slate, basically. And that stuff like return to Dreamland. I went to return to Dreamland is the we want. That's the first we won. Yeah, so that was the first one he that he was like fully directed. And I went through that top to bottom recently and it it has like mechanical things where it's like it just
Starting point is 00:51:58 there's stuff that was like kind of like almost like forgotten, like certain powers made a comeback from the Nesk, but like there's other powers that got dropped. You're like, ah, fuck, like Superstar covered this. Yeah. And little bits of things where it's like, you know, when you're blocking the blocking and being able to move left and right is a huge deal. And when you and like in this case, you couldn't. Right. So little things like that, where you're like,
Starting point is 00:52:15 oh, you kind of forgot about these little basic things. Difficulty was was a lot higher in that than it is for usually a Kirby game first time through. But anyway, the point was that like it but it introduced other cool things like ultra weapons. So every power up, I can love the ultra weapons. Every power up has an ultra version where you're just like screen clear, motherfucker type of thing.
Starting point is 00:52:35 And so bamboo sword exactly, right? So ultra weapons is specifically to the new games thing. And like Epic Yarns was like the big vehicles or the like the Mecca and like the tanks, you could be like for a while, those Kirby games had like you always had a big ultra super super coming up and like you get one per level or something, a critical art, right? And I think it wasn't made by how it wasn't made by feel plus or was it how as well?
Starting point is 00:53:01 Because yeah, Epic Yarn, yeah, exactly. OK, Epic Yarn was because feel plus was making a unrelated yarn game. Yeah. And then and then they made it a Kirby thing. But like, yeah, the main line how the main line Kirby games or how where was I going? Yes. So you get references to like that stuff kind of coming back in. And again, I'll say this game does the thing that what what what what Koumasaki's what's Koumasaki's Kirby games
Starting point is 00:53:32 are becoming known for is hype escalation to like huge, huge, awesome final moments and final battles. And each game has had that. And so this game does that. But it does it in such a way where they're leaning into the whole like, you know, there's this there's lower, there's lower hits, the hints and pieces and whatnot, the final like 20 percent of this game is an encyclopedia.
Starting point is 00:53:58 It's nuts how much they just decided to drop on you. And like like the moment like the bosses like shows up and like the forms it's taking, the way it's attacking you, things that are happening. Because you were going on about that one boss from a previous Kirby where it's like blood dripping from its eye. Zero, zero, two. Yeah, absolutely. And that was part of the Dark Matter trilogy trilogy. Yeah. And so like we've since moved on and we're going and now we're getting
Starting point is 00:54:24 into like the real interesting shit after the flame was linked in the new. Well, you say that, right? I threw it out there to see if you'll go, you say that we're getting into the cult of Jambandra and it's fucking great. And and what ends up basically like this is just the I don't want to always throw it up back to Gurren Lagann. But it's like you're going to throw it back to Gurren Lagann. Yeah, because what I'm trying to say is that if you're playing a Kirby game
Starting point is 00:54:56 that like has come out in the recent like stretch of the game, you're playing a kumazaki Kirby game, you're going to be in space doing a final gigantic attack to a huge God beast at some point. It's going to happen, right? Just expect it. And the way it goes down in this one, it does it. And like in the midst of that like hype, wonderful 101, 101 style final thing,
Starting point is 00:55:20 lore is just exploding at the screen. And it's like it's like it's like literally exploding lore at you as you're doing it. So it was incredibly fun and satisfying. And then the new game plus through on star on star allies as well has one of the most insane retcons I have ever seen. To what? The game itself?
Starting point is 00:55:44 To the entirety of the Kirby franchise. And I hate the overhyped game. I really don't want to do this, but it's just a really fun, interesting. It's probably fine if you're saying this to people that like Kirby. Yes, that's what I'm trying to mean. Like if you like Kirby, because your expectation should be it's the most hype recon in Kirby games. If you if you exactly.
Starting point is 00:56:07 It's if you are a fan of these things actually blew the whole time. If you're a fan of these things, there's some really fun stuff that that gets dropped in this game in particular. And I think it's sad and a new ally. I saw the new story saying it's a new form of or maybe an old form of a Meadow Knight galactic night galactic galactic galactic galactic night has been there for 10 years now. He's been there since Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:56:29 To star allies is what I mean. Sort of. Yeah, that he's got added to it. Yes, yes, sort of galactic galactic night has been like an entity that has been showing up that has been in the shadows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And anyway, so so all that to say that now that it's a not on a handheld only, but like it's on a switch. So it's kind of got to also be polished like Breath of the Wild
Starting point is 00:56:57 and then and Mari Odyssey and such, like all that extra budget and all that extra like oomph really gets used. Yes, gets used really well to the point where like the map that you're navigating. Yeah. Fucking like every time you switch to the like the next overworld, it like the juice of the overworld starts really ramping itself up. Yeah, you're running around green greens and then like.
Starting point is 00:57:23 That's where you start. And then you just but then it just goes from there, you know. So I was always confused when it said like Rick kind and Cooper added. I'm like, oh, so that's a lot of characters, all three. So when I finally got them and I'm like, I'm in the palace and I'm like, come on, come on, come on, because it's kind of randomized how you're going to get them or a little bit it is. And you can just you can just be patient.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Yeah, you can just be patient, but I wasn't. So I got someone I didn't want. But when I went again, I was like more patient, I got them. And I'm like, holy shit, they're so much better. They're all together. Three characters in one. Yeah. And if you're on the ground, you're Rick. Yeah, air, your crew. And if you're in the water, you're kind.
Starting point is 00:58:01 And if you fight certain bosses as them, you get you get the Dreamland music. Oh, yeah. Instead, you got a remix of their theme instead of the what you usually get. So like there's love, man. Fuck, that's like my favorite trio. Yeah, I think like. I feel like I like I'm I'm I'm almost like I'm I think I'm like 98 percent. Like I've got like the completion.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Yeah, like the final super hard challenge is so interesting. It's like the final super hard challenge. There's always like the legit hard. It is, it is. And there's the thing that Sakurai did with like what's it called with Kid Icarus where like you have the pot and like the difficulty goes up and up and up the thermometer or whatever. In this case, when you get to like the top of the thermometer
Starting point is 00:58:50 and then you do like the one final extra one, it's just like a presentation design thing. But it's like like you hit up again and then like your switch vibrates and it goes and it breaks through to another difficulty, you know? And like Kirby's face goes from like like going like, oh, my God, like angry American face, Satan face, like way beyond the angry American Kirby. Do you think that they would need to? But would you want to see a Kirby Superstar two
Starting point is 00:59:18 where it's like the more modern things that they've had since Kirby Superstar? But it's just like the exact same thing, like new minigames, like new small modes, small story bits. Or do you think it doesn't need it anymore? Matt, there's been enough Kirby since I'm delighted to inform you that that is called Superstar Ultra. It's come on. It's no same base.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Superstar Ultra is more is not just a remake. There's there's tons of new content in it. No, but it's still based on the same skeleton. But then it adds to me like a new switch console and then it takes bits from Robobot and stuff. Like you think there's been enough new Kirby gimmicks and things to make a Kirby Superstar two is all is what I mean. So you could.
Starting point is 01:00:03 But I mean, quite frankly, Superstar Ultra is what it needs to be. And it adds so much new that it's worth it. And it's great. It's fine. It's fine. I like I really might be a little bias. Isn't Superstar your favorite game ever? Superstar Ultra. Yeah. Yeah. Like it is. I enjoy it thoroughly. And I know, I mean, like in terms of like enough new stuff added from Superstar.
Starting point is 01:00:27 So there's a lot. Yeah. OK. Like they're like, unobjectively, I mean, rather objectively, there is a lot of new content in the in just that update. Because from like a surface level, I was in the same place as Matt. Or like, I thought that was just like a new boss fights, new mini games, new, new levels, new, new plot details, new. I know it'll never stop being funny, but it's it's the best. And anyway, what I was going to say is that like, I think Star Allies is like
Starting point is 01:00:59 probably going to take second place for me. I think it is. It's it's because it's also just mechanically sound, right? And it has all the things I want Kirby to be able to be to do on deep by default. It's got the like, if you don't just pause to get the lore when you're fighting the boss, you pause during each phase to get different types of, you know, descriptions. It's got the expanded move list. And that's the real important thing is like if you have a what
Starting point is 01:01:26 like when you get one power and you look at it and it's like, OK, fire, press B for fire breath and then do it while running for a fireball. Yeah. Great. Right. And that's kind of like what returned to Dreamland head. OK. But in this game, you get fire or you get like spear or whatever. And you've got pages of moves. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 01:01:43 And that gigantic move list with each power makes it that much more fun. Then you add it's like, oh, I have sword, but now I can have ice sword and fire. Not even getting into the fucking modifiers, dude. Right. The modifiers that have their own. Exactly. It's crazy how much there is to it. And like the like I say it every time, but the combo abilities where you put two to get a third X plus Y equals Z just makes all your baseline things multiply, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:12 to have to make your possibilities like crazy huge. And you always try to find the right ones. Try to find the right four guys on screen. There's literal synergy that you have to like you have to pick teams of synergy that go up against like the harder computers when you're doing like the the Colosseum and stuff, because different teams work better together, you know, you want a team of with variety or with with variety like everyone has
Starting point is 01:02:34 depends if I'm playing from playing as Mark's, then you want to get the feather, the bird with you because Bluster Mark's is it's got some crazy like spam shit. Was the artist ability in any other game because the artist ability blew us away at the one with the painting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In fact, a lot of the other games had different versions of like paint era, dry and I didn't I must Kirby's Kirby's adventure
Starting point is 01:02:59 had a boss that would paint at you and attack you like everyone forgets about the drawing boss from that game. But it was totally there. Yeah, because just drawing little DDD's and then DDD's just like fucking wreck shop. It's it's great. It's great. Yeah. So anyway, like Star Allies is absolutely cemented as like one of the best Kirby games.
Starting point is 01:03:20 And I'm kind of shocked that you love it so much. Like even after all that explanation, like general, like I'm not going to say like I'm not like how to put this. Yeah, like when it came out, the general consensus or, you know, feeling was like, yeah, it's a good Kirby game. And but the more you go, the not that much in it. So is it is it I guess you were about to say it's like it's it rewards those who dig deep and like any like most of the new Kirby's
Starting point is 01:03:47 or most of the most Kirby's in general, it rewards people who dig. It gets better as you go. Yeah. I also consciously didn't want to keep talking about it until I was done. Yeah. So I spoke about it less on purpose so that when I hit it and finish it, I can talk about it, which I do with a lot of things, actually. And yeah, in this case, and they're updating it regularly with new content as well and stuff. So that's really fun. That's a lot of free content.
Starting point is 01:04:12 I don't know, like every it's weird for me that Nintendo does that now for some reason, specifically Nintendo. Like and they've done it for a bunch of other stuff. But I never got used to it or free DLC. Both. I'm still I still think it's weird. I we're not used to this world, but it's what the switch is capable of. So I mean, even going back to the Wii U with like the Mario Kart. OK, yeah, tracks. Sure.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Because I always think it's like it's a nice mix of like, no, I don't think Kirby's had paid stuff yet. I'm not sure. But like having there was a bunch of free Hyrule Warriors on Wii U content or just like, here's news costumes that we're not charging. Here's a new character or two. But then we'll charge for some other stuff.
Starting point is 01:04:57 And like, I think it was that was not the case for no breath of the wild. All of its packs were paid. Or are they? Yeah. Yeah. So they're like a mix of I should go back. I thought those never touched. But there was the update that added like like quality of life features. Yeah, there's that.
Starting point is 01:05:14 But I mean, wouldn't expect to be charged for that if it was made by any other publisher. They were just quality of life. You never know how it is. There's been patches, though. Charge for a patch. That's a bit much. That's what I mean. Yeah. Quality of life can't have just just be patches.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Like, I mean, you call it a sequel, right? That's what's that's what a sequel is called. You know, back in the fucking lazy days. You know, that's true. Anyway, so, yeah, it's it's that. And I had a point to also what rather to just further explain is that. But the side guys to the Kirby's.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Yeah, it's kind of like just when you have one. When you're just when you've got Kirby on screen and you've got a certain power and like you have like tons of things you can do with it, like Ninja, for example, has like so many different moves. You can. Yeah, I was I was amazed. Just the freedom of like how much you can do with the character and like and like as you go through the stage and whatever, like fight the boss with the ability,
Starting point is 01:06:10 like it feels like the freedom you get from like your Marvel teams kind of like mixing and matching and doing crazy shit. It's just I absolutely believe you. Yeah. So it's very enjoyable, you know, that's all I can really say. Anyway. Yeah, that's a bit I'll be very clear. I'm wrong. OK. On this, just like how I'm wrong on Hunter Hunter,
Starting point is 01:06:34 it's the exact same thing. Kirby and gone can stand next to each other as dumb looking losers. Oh, I I I I I wouldn't put Kirby next to God and fuck that. But yeah, Kirby's better. He's he's he's better than God, because at least he's interesting, looking kind of. Sure. And again, I always put the last risk and say that I'm talking about 1998 gone or whatever. Because I'm not fucking man up.
Starting point is 01:07:01 That's a difference now. The new shit's probably cool. No, the new shit's probably really cool. It's probably I'm just mad at the old shit. It's probably still mad at people that don't know good. News. Wait, do we have any? The first news item is a word from our sponsors.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Damn it. Totally beat me. It's good. I wasn't expecting it. Let's sneak up on you. This week, the podcast is sponsored by Audible. Oh, how are you doing? Audiobooks, a great sidekick for summer activities, hiking, running, road tripping, enjoying downtime outdoors or indoors.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Doing whichever you prefer, whatever you like, exactly. Or like blitzing through Kirby games. Just throw on an audiobook. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. You listen, I'm not wasting my time with this Kirby game. I'm learning something via this audiobook. You can do and split your time. You can absolutely split your time.
Starting point is 01:08:01 Audible has the largest selections of audiobooks on the planet. It's an unmatched selection. So I've gone through it and I've talked about a bit of a bunch. Like we've the way you said that sounded like you said, yeah, I've gone through their entire camp. No, that's impossible over the weekend. That is literally there is not enough life. No, they know one person to live.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Unless you played them all at the same time. And even then, well, that wouldn't work. No, but like we, you know, Louis Black, right, is on there with his like his hilarity. Still my favorite audio. Yeah, there's the great Tina Fey book up there as well. Great. Like a lot of comedians have their stuff you can go in for. Again, if you want to see what the ready player one original
Starting point is 01:08:48 source material is like, you can check that out. Cool. If you're interested. Game of Thrones, all that stuff is in there. And I have the the the old flesh version of the new girl, the Dragon Tattoo. Yes, the tree killer version. Yeah, the tree killer version. And I'm like, I started reading it.
Starting point is 01:09:07 It got wet. The book is ruined. There you go. So I just bought the audio book version of have listened to it yet. But I'm waiting for like the next, you know, long plane ride because it got to finish it before the new movie comes out. Matt, you can be that guy. I'm going to be that guy that's like, I'm that guy. Matt, you are made up of 90 percent water and you live on a planet
Starting point is 01:09:27 that is you live on a planet that is 70 percent water. OK, right? Yeah. That means that there's a 90 percent chance that your book is going to get wet. Actually, over something that I spent a long enough period of time, eventually, the book's ability to get wet reaches 100 percent, right? So what's the point of going down that path when you can like, you know, it doesn't get wet, sonic booms, data sound. Well, it can get wet, but sound does not get wet.
Starting point is 01:09:56 That sonic boom thing threw me because I'm like, what if reuse spit on a sonic boom? But then it's just still it doesn't get wet because it's it's sound. I can't hear any of this stuff. I'm trying to tell you that if you're made up of water and you're living on a planet made of water, you don't want your reading material getting wet, you should be listening to audio. How am I supposed to see this sound? Listen.
Starting point is 01:10:16 You can start a 30 day trial now with your first free audiobook. OK, you head on down to audible.com slash best friends or text best friends to 500 500 technology. That's audible. A U D I B L E dot com slash best friends. B E S T F R I E N D S. Nice. Or text best friends to 500 500. You can do it with audio books.
Starting point is 01:10:41 It's a free audio book telling you. It can be done. It should be done. Don't let it will be done. Don't let your reading material get wet. Thanks, audible. Thank you. In the news, Dino's someone made a website. Pubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba.
Starting point is 01:11:03 That's Capcom typing on Internet. Someone made a website canceling games. I mentioned this to you guys the other day, but like it cracks me the fuck up. See, this has nothing to do with sh. But Aaron Greenberg coming out on Twitter being like, we promised Crackdown three is not canceled. Everybody promise. This is super not canceled.
Starting point is 01:11:23 So. As we all wait with baited breath and we hold the pen over our E3 bingo cards. It's it's it's this is the time is coming. No, it's coming. The time has come. No, it's no the time is coming. And it's the time coming yet. And so far.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Maybe next two next two couple weeks, the time has come. So far. You know what, as as much of a lock as Devil May Cry 5 being at E3, there's still the chance of a logo saying Devil May Cry 5 and then just getting exploded. And then it says Pachinko. Never Devil May Cry V. It could still happen.
Starting point is 01:12:01 Is this the worst kept secret game announcement? Like a long time. OK, there's there's another game we'll talk about later. Have to do. Yeah, I was going to say. What about like fair every birch leak? There's going to be an assassin's creed game shocker. But when most companies get their shit found out, they go, hey, everyone shit's out of the bag, I guess.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Let's just stop being an idiot. This shit's been found out for like a year and announce it. But like, how come more than a year? Because people thought it was going to be at last E3. What if the five flips around and becomes a two remastered? No, and then and then, you know, then the M shrinks down. And then. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:50 I it was like, like funny enough is that extra step is if they decided, let's just go back and actually remake to that. I wouldn't even hate it and like skip one, skip one and make. Why? Why remake good games all the time? Sometimes you should remake bad games. I better. I just have a thought. Let's reverse the stupid joke that we made and let's have it. Let's Capcom, you'll get the biggest thumbs ups ever.
Starting point is 01:13:23 If you actually have the balls to have a DMC, Delta may cry to logo show up like D lowercase M C. And then instead of what we said happened, have the M grow big. And then the two flips to a five, the roof. And then like there's only a couple of companies that will self deprecate and Capcom just isn't really one of theirs. Here's why that won't happen. That would be the best when I are told.
Starting point is 01:13:52 Sorry, your street fighter card to an idea. How damn it is not is too dumb for our brand. Like it's not going to. Here's here's why that fucking power move would never happen. It's not self deprecating. It's it's throwing. There's a theory. Exactly. Yeah. If it was self deprecating, then you can do it.
Starting point is 01:14:12 But throwing the other studio under the bus professionally. At the end of the day, Capcom OKs everything that came out of that project. So stop. It's BM. I hate that. I fucking hate that. Where did that come from? You only started saying it like two weeks ago. Relax. I hate it so much. This is more shit.
Starting point is 01:14:31 That's not where I got it from. Oh, it's not. No. Where'd you get it from? From Mothman. Oh, Mothman. Mothman says it all the time. So I started saying it. Oh, man. He made me say it. Makes me think of esports. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:14:45 So we actually did a talk shirtless and drug addicted at the show. Matt, what's the story? Yeah, I was going to say, we actually didn't talk about the story. The story is that Capcom up for a double made cry five. You are sorry. You're very sorry. You're a sorry site. Double made cry five dot com has been registered.
Starting point is 01:15:04 And apparently so has the same registry on my as you was used for Monster Hunter World dot com, Resident Evil seven dot com and Devon McCry six, seven, eight, nine and so on are also there just to cover their bases. Resident Evil two dot com was owned since 1997. There's only a couple of games that have that name. So that makes sense.
Starting point is 01:15:31 Yeah. So basically the registrar is an indicator that this might be a thing. But yes, a website was was registered. That's all this news is. Someone asked me this, should Capcom have its own little E3 mini event? Captivate, bring it back. No, no, I mean, like just a digital only video thing like the vault. Like depends on what they have to show. Yeah, the problem with doing that is that the second time they do it,
Starting point is 01:15:54 they'll have nothing to show. And it will be disappointed. So many drought years of nothing. So they I don't think they should. I think they should just wait until they have a big thing. I think that they should leverage their cards and talk to the platform holders and get their big ups at the at the Microsoft or Sony or. I just wish there was like, yeah, because that's the way it goes now.
Starting point is 01:16:12 It's like double may cry file will show up at maybe this conference, even though it's on other consoles. And I just I don't like them. I don't like one publisher being spread around. But the but the balls of saying that of making your thing like that implies that every 12 months, you're going to have megatons. Yeah. Otherwise, people are going to be bummed out. Yeah. So don't don't put yourself in that position.
Starting point is 01:16:29 I have a feeling that. So they stopped doing captivates. Yeah, it's shown at Microsoft's. What I have a feeling that remake two is going to get shown at Microsoft's. And that Microsoft's big on and Del McCry is going to get shown on Sony. I think you think you think we're going to get timed exclusives. No, no, I just think that's where they're going to show up. Because that's because because Del McCry has long been a PS4 franchise,
Starting point is 01:16:53 more than Resident Evil have a PS4 PlayStation franchise. But like why the RE2 link with Xbox? Well, they'll give Microsoft something cool. Microsoft has had exclusive little bits of like reorg, I think, had exclusive modes and little things. Lucky. I know. Do you think? Do you think Microsoft is going to look at like a remake of an old game
Starting point is 01:17:15 and think and think that that should go up next to their big? If it's Resident Evil 2, do they as opposed to what the nothing that they're going to show what I'm not you're not wrong. But I think they would not really get it as opposed to phantom dust. Yeah, which was you're right. A niche title. Nope. Fully correct. Absolutely. They did show phantom dust on screen.
Starting point is 01:17:37 And record. That's true. That's super true. And games that they then cancel your games that were canceled when they showed them when you're right. You're right. Oh, man. Yeah. So yeah, websites are being made. Fucking this game is canceled, but show it. People think it's cool.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Fallout 76. I don't know what this is. I feel like I'm seeing people talk. But what this is and I I'm worried that the rumors about what this is are true. It was announced Bethesda is working on something called Fallout 76 and it's announced for all platforms and it's unclear what it exactly is going to be. There are there is some rumor hubbub that is currently totally unconfirmed, so it could come from nowhere.
Starting point is 01:18:27 But the gist of it is that this is a fault that it's coming out soon and that it is a daisy slash rust slash what have you base building open world multiplayer thing. You didn't say the words Battle Royale. I sure didn't. I just assumed it was a big piece of DLC for Fallout four that they said, fuck, let's turn this. After that, I know. But after this much silence.
Starting point is 01:18:57 You know what I mean is like, let's turn it into its own standalone thing. Let's solve this project and like make it its own thing. Yeah, there's. The way that Bethesda has been handling Fallout, this is a spinoff and spinoffs aren't the big giant open world RPGs, right? That people want. I was going to say, like as as a like Fallout fan, is there anything there that you see that is like?
Starting point is 01:19:21 Oh, no, it's it's all pretty stock imagery. OK. And it's nothing to really go on. It's all internalized in the vault, which tells you nothing. OK. But yeah, I have like, you know, I got feeling because remember how well, you guys didn't play fall for much, right? No, not fall fall for went super, super hard on like a settlement building as a feature.
Starting point is 01:19:49 You must remember the preview videos where they showed up. Yeah. Build your settlement. And what do they eat? Yeah. And like all that stuff and that felt like when you messed around with it a lot, you're like, this feels like a fucking prototype feature for something, you know, like for something larger. I don't know. I don't know how I feel. Is that a sound of trepidation?
Starting point is 01:20:15 So the base building and settlement building involved for is really bad and significantly takes away from the overall game because one of the major factions is tied to it. And it's like the it's the typically default good faction that many players would want to be an allied with, which means you have to do a shit ton of settlement building and the settlement building is bad. So if this was that type of game, I would be worried that it would be bad, like because I don't think they designed it
Starting point is 01:20:54 very well the last time around. Well, more details are going to be showcased on June 10th. Yes. So they're kind of like little shows. Bethesda's show last year was weird, was weird and it had fucking shit all. Right. It's you can only do it if you've got stuff, you know, this year at least. Hey, because last year's big thing was, hey, we're bringing Skyrim to 10 more platforms. This is at least a new game at the very least. I'd like Doom to be announced and shown.
Starting point is 01:21:25 Yes, I would also like like I'm afraid it's going to have more fallout shit and then rage to and that's it. Like you're right in that. Like I hope there's more to validate an entire show, even though I still feel like the digital just show just show what you got. Ways 10 minutes is better than having the big stage show. Like Ubisoft like Ubisoft doesn't have enough to have the big stage show, which they do have.
Starting point is 01:21:52 Ways 10 minutes talking about the pre-order gimmick toy that it's going to come with. Why not? Yeah, why not? They put a pre-orders for this, which is in like it's weird because. It's weird. It's a fucking logo. Yeah, but it's fallout. Yeah. Oh, come on, I want the fucking pre-orders for I want Doom to which is weird.
Starting point is 01:22:17 What do you call it? Do you just call it to 100 percent? Absolutely 100 percent, so Doom to hell on earth called the doom. Dooms, dooms, dooms, that's good. Dooms, that's good. Oh, fuck. So you can everyone, every franchise is going to run into the same fucking problem. And it's your stupid fault for not like not changing the name of the first reboot.
Starting point is 01:22:46 Well, yeah, because Tomb Raider is running into that problem where all the new Tomb Raiders games have different names. Yeah, but they have stupid names. They're stupid because they can't just call them Tomb Raider 2 because that game is 25 years old. They couldn't stop calling them subtitle names because so many already have them. Tomb Raider Legend, Tomb Raider Underworld, Tomb Raider Anniversary Collection, Anniversary, rather.
Starting point is 01:23:06 What if it was called doomed? I believe that is already a different thing. Well, I think so. There's a steam game that just came out called doomed. Yeah, dooms, you know what? Also, that changes the name too much. It does. Clearly, that it's not a big enough deal that like companies care.
Starting point is 01:23:24 It's more of a we'll figure it out when we get there across that bridge later situation. It's also it's like, yeah, we can't name a Tomb Raider 2. Like, yeah, that only matters to people who know that Tomb Raider 2 existed 25 years ago, like us nerds. Sure. I mean, God of War is like, that's PlayStation 2 era, you know what I mean? Like that's that's a lot more recent. That's 15 years ago. It's a lot more recent than Tomb Raider 2.
Starting point is 01:23:47 And Tomb Raider 2 is like 97. Yeah. So like it doesn't really like the time frame is still it doesn't matter how short it is. We're still seeing it happen. You know, like, I remember feeling awkward when Ninja Gaiden did it. And I just thought of something and I'm sure everyone thought of it, but this game should have been called God of War. Because it's not Rocksteady says it's the fourth one. I don't really I remember the Ninja Gaiden thing, me being like, wait, but it's that's names already used.
Starting point is 01:24:16 That's the first time I remember feeling that. And then by the commando was was the same as well. The NES Ninja Gaidans did always have a subtitle after the second and the third. It was like Ninja Gaiden to but it's like the person. The ancient ship of Doom or something like that. The thing that you think you're doing, which is we're like big balls. We're taking it back and we're doing it over. We're capitalizing on the cash.
Starting point is 01:24:43 It's like the people, the people that like the name are still going to come if it says thing subtitle. And if it's a new version of thing, then things subtitle will eventually like become known as thing year. This is why you know, so like, you know, it's going to turn into Doom 2017. On on the on the same biguation page. So why are we playing this game? Can you do me a favor real quick? Sure, look something up. Look up the Halloween franchise on IMDb.
Starting point is 01:25:09 Oh, each two. Oh, just just the Halloween. Just read me all the titles on it. Because to me, it's it is the most messed up. It will ever get for any franchise. So it's like, what if Rambo kept going? The worst thing you can do is jump numbers. So I mean, well, guess what? Xbox 360. Guess what?
Starting point is 01:25:26 Halloween, Halloween two, Halloween three, season of the witch, Halloween four, return of Michael Myers, Halloween five, revenge of Michael Myers, Halloween, the curse of Michael Myers, Halloween H2O 20 years later, Halloween resurrection, Halloween, Halloween two, Halloween. It's so fun. Oh, that's so bad. That's the worst. I was like, where are we going with this?
Starting point is 01:25:56 Oh, no, that's the worst it's ever been. That that that's that is awful. Halloween. I remember. I remember when I saw previews for for Halloween H2O. I thought it was Halloween 20. Yeah. I thought I had missed 13 fucking movies. Oh, it's H2O because Halloween 20. But it's 20th anniversary, but it also sounds like water fucking.
Starting point is 01:26:24 And the years on the last three are 20, 2007, 2009. So they stop using numbers, then they use numbers later, then they stop using numbers again. That's like, is it what? What? What? Like, what is the logic? I guess it's like 10 years is long enough, perhaps. So it was like Halloween H2O is like the last one to hadn't anymore. Then higher Rob Zombie.
Starting point is 01:26:48 These are so new and bold that they're not sequels. Resurrection, the remix. No, resurrection was the one of Busta Rhymes. Oh, excuse me. Sorry, I forgot. Yeah, they did that where it's a reality show. Anyway, so his his his remake was really successful. Well, what are we going to fucking call it now? Yeah, we didn't think it was going to be successful.
Starting point is 01:27:09 And now the new one is another remake that ignores everything after like the second like K.O.F. And Jamie Lee Curtis is back is a though she got killed in H2O. K.O.F. is a mess, but at least they had years. K.O.F. does it amazingly? At least they don't care. At least not even close.
Starting point is 01:27:30 At least they had years first, like from day one, they had 1994, you know? And then the numbers came in later where they're like, yeah, 13. Fuck it. Right. 14. Fuck it. But like then that's just going, we don't want to annualize anymore. But like when you're like a film, Francis, like, I guess. Like people that were alive in 2007 are still here in 2018. No, they must be dead. All right.
Starting point is 01:27:59 Let's watch Halloween. I like that. Which one? One, two or three? That's where I think it like there's a Halloween three. No, the third Halloween. That's where I think it's like video games are getting to where movies are doing it. And like, yeah, it's not that big of a problem. Who really cares? But it'll get to that problem where you go,
Starting point is 01:28:18 oh, let's watch Halloween. Which one? And they're going to be like, let's play God of War. Which one? Yeah. Let's play God of War one. And like, give another 10, 15 years, probably just do it over again. I can't possibly imagine they'll call the next God of War, God of War two. They fucking better not. That'd be the most baffling.
Starting point is 01:28:36 Again, it's like, we're just going to start putting years on these things. And now you've been predator, predator, predator to predators. The predator, the predator. Yeah, it's still messed up. But I mind it last. Numbers are embarrassing. They're embarrassing. You know what? We're so embarrassed.
Starting point is 01:28:53 You know what? That's one of the things. Resident Evil and fucking Final Fantasy and shit like that. Get away with it. I fucking love that they keep the numbers and go, fuck you. There's been tons of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no. FF is brazen about it.
Starting point is 01:29:06 And now they look forward to it. Yeah, they lean in. Calcom kind of does it. Mega Man 11. Yeah. Like, who cares? 13 to X to, you know, like, we're absolutely going balls. You want me and some friends were talking the other day and we're like, OK, how about we name the Final Fantasies, honestly,
Starting point is 01:29:29 and include their spin offs and whatnot? That would be and it's like Final Fantasy 15, something like FF 42. Oh, oh, God, no, no, no, no, the youth. You want to get bad. The fucking Mousseau series, like the Mousseau games. Well, OK, so there's Dynasty Warriors all the way to nine. And then Samurai Warriors and then Orochi starts over. Double most of those because of Extreme Legends.
Starting point is 01:29:53 And so you get exactly. So like you want to say fucking, what is it? Samurai Warriors, like 28 at some point because you've doubled it up. Absolutely. Yeah. And they're all the same game and talk to me about Kirby. Yeah, he just walks around and sucks on things. The games things in. Yeah. So yeah, don't make a cry.
Starting point is 01:30:17 This is cool. Tell me about this cool thing. How's the dead's got a new game coming? Yeah, dude, it's coming out of North America now. Really? Yeah, the crazy one. How's are the dead Scarlet Dawn? Max is also super like, oh, shit, new arcade game. Because I love me some House of the Dead for a while.
Starting point is 01:30:34 I was like, oh, man, they're not going to bring this over. But like fucking arcades, especially gun gun shootings are popular now. They can make money off. Gun shooting is the best form of arcade game after fighting. So gun shooting arcades have come a long way. If you've seen the recent time crisis machines and bone eater and like obviously gunslinger, Stratos,
Starting point is 01:31:00 is there anything about this that is like next level? Well, it's I mean, it depends on how long you're going to watch this for. But like the tech of the zombies gets really, really crazy when they're World War Z. Oh, they do the liquid zombie thing to build the game itself. OK, not the hardware in terms of the hardware or whatever. I can't see just because it's not a game. It's hard to like, is there anything new with the controller that he's using?
Starting point is 01:31:26 A new Z. That's cool. But graphically, this thing is quite a looker to me. And since over overkill was such a weird departure, like such it sucks. They never went back that route, though. Well, I didn't sell it. It didn't sell, I guess. Yeah. And it was also wasn't it like crazy cheap?
Starting point is 01:31:45 Wasn't it like twenty dollars or something like that? Oh, no, I think I remember there being a reduced price. Three version was reduced price. I think House of the Dead overkill was like, like probably my favorite house of the dead came. It was great. And they just it's a it's a really fantastic game. But it's three versions way better, too.
Starting point is 01:32:02 Is that really why? Yeah. The move controller is more accurate. I put in both and I played the Wii version for a bit. And I was like, man, I don't remember it being so stuttery and like it's just awkward and like that's weird. And I put in the PS3 version is way more smoother, just the scrolling and just everything worked better. And like, I don't and I was using a controller.
Starting point is 01:32:20 I didn't get my move controller out for it. But yeah, so once this guy goes into the helicopter in this new house of the dead, you're going to see like what the fuck it does. I feel and remember that the House of the Dead games did always play with the guns. You had that one with the shotgun that you just did. You did. I guess I thought. Oh, it's before this. You skipped ahead a little too much.
Starting point is 01:32:39 The the. Yeah, I feel like overkill. I really thought it was going to be the new direction for the series. And well, if it had sold extraordinarily well, I guess it might have. Oh, many, many zambos. I don't know. For me, the light gun personally, the light gun genre like starts and ends with a handgun type weapon.
Starting point is 01:33:02 I'm not a big fan of the trend towards automatics. I mean, those are fun, but yeah, they're, you know, like my favorite cabinet is still the time crisis to have with the guns a kick. Yeah, those are good. So good. Um, I've talked about it before, but I do like the the silent scope like version of gameplay, though. Like I like the the sniper version of the awesome thing about this game
Starting point is 01:33:26 is that I think it might have the worst voice acting I've ever heard. Wow. Wow. That's incredible. Awesome. That's what I want. And you dive deep on that shit. So that's saying so. Like it's it's chaos wars. Yeah, so that's back. So happy it's getting brought up.
Starting point is 01:33:42 I really can't feel the zombie right now. And it's just two players, just two players, right? Yeah, I believe so. OK, like fucking Halo has a like gun game now. So like gun games. Well, I feel like whenever I see the the raw thrills games, they're usually they're like four, you know, sometimes, but or three. But anyway, oh, yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:34:06 Target terror really leading the way. House of the dead. Any dates on this? It's out in Japan now. It's an arcade cap. So dates are going to be nebulous. Yeah, roll. It's kind of it's when the guy at your local theater decides to order order.
Starting point is 01:34:20 Yeah, let's go convince that guy at our arcade to get it. Oh, no, wait, that that would never work. He did get cruising blast finally, so I'm happy. Yeah, some other things ahead of E3. People getting out in front of shit. Yeah, or being forced to. Anthem, Anthem is going to have a lot of detail at EA Play 2018. I'm very, very, very interested.
Starting point is 01:34:46 Is there anything battlefield related on the docket? No. OK, because I'll roll that what I have to say in here. I'm fascinated by what about what they're going to do with Anthem's monetization, because the two big forms of monetization that EA typically uses have both become unacceptable to most people. The EA fucked up the loot box shit for everybody, and especially for themselves, which I'm going to imagine Anthem probably had at some point. And they had already come out and said that the game won't have a season
Starting point is 01:35:18 pass and that all the like content will be free. So did did. Here's a here's a question. Did anyone play Andromeda long enough to find out if they had any of those shenanigans in them micro transactions or the box micro transactions? I'm sure it has some of some kind, because I hadn't heard of any. But I mean, and multiplayer. So I'm assuming it did. So I'm wondering if like Bioware has incorporated any of this before we go down this direction.
Starting point is 01:35:45 So I can't imagine it was very bad. But it's just because it's not about the game in general. Like, as someone who hasn't followed through on like mass of our titles, I don't know. Did Mass Effect three had a loot box system for unlocking everything in the fucking multiplayer. OK, that made a shit ton of money. OK, and the multiplayer was apparently really, really good.
Starting point is 01:36:07 OK, I remember people getting frustrated. They couldn't unlock how to play a Krogan or some shit for long periods of time. Krogan, because it was randomized. But like so Battlefield is a different property, right? And they came out and they said, there was all the stuff about the way it looks and all that stuff, like it looks zany. But the main thing is that Battlefield is not going to have a season pass
Starting point is 01:36:28 and all the maps are going to be free, right? And Battlefield is also not going to have loot boxes. So the solution to that is a billion fucking cosmetic items to buy. Which is the Warframe business model, which is just like, hey, you want a million fucking hats by TF2. No, because TF2, you bought it first for most of its life cycle and Warframe was always free. And this.
Starting point is 01:37:03 Bwaaah. Sure. Wait, regardless, you're right. Yeah. And but you yeah, you could also craft hats. But regardless, like just a billion cosmetic items to purchase and customize your your robot man with. But I'm interested to see if they decide to do something else
Starting point is 01:37:23 because this game looks like EA wants it to be a big fucking thing, right? It's next big, big fucking thing like the counterpart to Destiny, basically. Yes. So I can't imagine big, big fucking thing as an answer to destiny. Big fucking thing. Yeah, so I can't possibly imagine that they're not going to try some bullshit. Anyway, but what this is is basically this confirmation that you're going to be getting the new trailer gameplay directly,
Starting point is 01:37:52 combat showcase and then some other stuff. So like it's going to be like we'll see what we're going to see what the game is. You're right. Like more than what we've seen so far. So that's that's there. That's EA's thing and maybe they'll maybe it'll be great and they'll it'll be all above board. And it'll just be a happy experience for everyone.
Starting point is 01:38:18 Defiant Studios, a new New York based group, are going to be working on Lords of the Fallen, too. Huh, that's weird. Met led by the dude who directed Just Cause Three. I'm going to assume this is under an app code. So this is an unexpected direction. But huh. Yeah. No, C.I. Games describes his partnership with Defiant Studios.
Starting point is 01:38:44 Where does it less Namco at all? Because Namco published the first Namco is nowhere on this. That's fucking weird on the story. There's a one time deal like they didn't own the IP or anything. Who the fuck owns this? C.I. Games, I guess. Weird. I'll fucking play that because I was always interested in Lords of the Fallen from like an aesthetic sort of view.
Starting point is 01:39:06 But like a lot bulkier than souls. Mechanically, it was like, yeah, like the takeaway I got. I sold two million copies is living bad. The takeaway I got from everyone is that it was an all right souls like. Yeah, it was all right. So it was the first one to just be overt and be like, oh, man. Yeah, we're doing it. Souls game with character like face, though. Yeah, yeah. And there was more of a straightforward story.
Starting point is 01:39:31 Well, that's not hard in comparison. But yeah, I didn't hear that new studio. New studios is taken over and doing this thing. So yeah, that just got dropped. Um. Not much like to say, though, because it clearly is just like it just just happened. So cool. Right. Now, you want to talk about if I can like overt leaks and dumb shit.
Starting point is 01:40:00 Yes, I do. Doesn't get much dumber than a key chain. You know, where now Assassin's Creed Odyssey has been officially confirmed. Let's do the other. Yeah, it has been officially confirmed because someone took a picture of a key chain. It's don't like and it leaked.
Starting point is 01:40:23 And the key chain's got a big fucking spartan helmet on it, huh? And that's the end of that. But they just showed this fucker getting kicked off the highest mountain in Greece. The nice that this is spartan for you. So I'm going to say out the bat like, oh, I'm I'm I'm in. Oh, yeah, I liked origin so much. And like, I like Greece.
Starting point is 01:40:43 And you finish origin. I did not actually finish because I I really want to go back and finish. I really good. Yeah. But well, the changes that they made is like enough to make me go. OK, well, tell me where it's going to happen. Yeah. Did you play Origins at all? Like even touch it? No, it's really good. I know. And it's very different.
Starting point is 01:41:03 And it's what I finally wanted years ago where you're just going to like the I understand that there's a little level of unreasonable unreasonableness to wanting the franchise to switch cultures every entry because it's expensive. It's per se. But. It's what I want. Yeah. And it's what they led you to believe with the first couple games. That too. It's what I thought it was going to be when you went from one to two
Starting point is 01:41:34 and you went, oh, fuck, that's right. This whole game series is going to be interesting because it's always going to be like and then and then and then and then. And it seems like we can finally do that. Although, I assume this is going to look, feel and play like. Or origins. Origins. But that's what makes me excited. That being said, like Jim did a really great thing
Starting point is 01:41:55 about the obification thing a while back. I mentioned it before, Jim Sterling. I feel like Assassin's Creed has now in my heart escaped from that. Yeah, I haven't been long enough by having the releases spaced out. It's been long enough. Yeah. Yeah. And you kind of wish this was coming out even later. I hope it's not like. Yeah. I mean, me personally, I hope it's not coming out this year.
Starting point is 01:42:18 I hope it's maybe coming out next year. I'm in that place. Oh, sorry. After you. I'm in that place where, like, it's not even about the was the word, like franchise burnout or whatever. I said, it's not I got that fucking bad with this shit. Yeah, I'm not. It's not it's definitely not that anymore. But I skipped unity and syndicate.
Starting point is 01:42:38 Well, that's fine. That because the promise of the artwork of China and Russia from those books and I skip most of it got me really excited back then, you know, and then that's not how that turned out. But it's just been long enough. Right. And it's just been long enough that it's easy. It's easy to ignore for me right now in my cycle of things. Yeah. But there's definitely entries that I still do want to try.
Starting point is 01:43:00 Like, I know freedom cry was short and great. I know liberation was short and great. No, it wasn't really. Which ones are short? I heard liberation was good. Did you think liberation was good? The bit is liberation. The PSP, the French, the French lady.
Starting point is 01:43:17 No, bad. No, wait. Was she French? No. Cajun. Cajun. Yeah, the Cajun lady. Yeah. No, that was not good. I disliked it a lot. OK, we I'm just saying personally. OK, I was going like a Liam talk to me about it. But maybe the Vita port was maybe the Vita original was better, but the HD version was awful and terrible.
Starting point is 01:43:37 What was the most messed up? What was the one with the brother and sister again? You might want to try Rogue. No, no, no, no, that wasn't Rogue. No, I'm sorry. Syndicate. But you should also try Rogue. Yeah. No, Syndicate. All that. Just just play one of the new. Yeah, I would.
Starting point is 01:43:51 Well, I know I'm what I'm trying to say. Syndicate Syndicate. I'm just completely not interested in like that. They like they you got farther in in fucking origin than I did, but like they've dropped everything to do in the fucking modern world as hard as they possibly could. Like there there's the there's callbacks and stuff like that. But who gives a shit?
Starting point is 01:44:11 So that's an it'll never not be weird. Oh, yeah. No, it'll never not be weird because of how important it used to be. I'm I'm right there with you. I love that fucking alien future shit. I loved it. What? What do we what? What? Like, how do you steer a franchise? And then they botched it and then they dumped it instead of trying to make sense. So weird.
Starting point is 01:44:30 But you're still using an animus. Yeah. And there's still a future. How I'm talking to you and in origins, you do play as a woman in the future and you're still doing the same stuff. It's just and you're using and you're using the origin adds a detail to the animus that you might appreciate. It's one of the first things that happens. It's like, hey, I I rigged this animus to if I can just get blood from someone,
Starting point is 01:44:54 I can just fucking use use anyone else's fucking. So you don't have to jump into an ancestor. It's completely fucking unlocked. Right. You don't have to be an ancestor. No, you take it like find a like they find a fucking mummy and jam his blood in the fucking machine done. Is there a parallel plot and climax with a parallel plot told entirely by email and phone conversations as it was before.
Starting point is 01:45:15 Right. OK. All right. Well, anyway, Greek, I'm excited to play this version, especially Greek Assassin's Creed, especially for the animals watching because she lived in Greece for like three years and she majored in like ancient Greece. Hey, it's that fucking history. So we'd love to poke at things that might be incorrect or like whatever. Just like how most of them have at least a few kind of feel.
Starting point is 01:45:36 You know, detailed that feta cheese looks kind of feel bad for Ubisoft because the nature of these games and the amount of people that work on them and the amount of merchant like clearly there are too many fingers. This is the third, I think, that's been leaked via there. There are. There are just too many people involved at every level. So how often are like, how come they'll be like, fuck it? Yeah. Yeah. Imagine if Capcom said, look, here's a little gif of a stinger or something. Like, it would be great if you if you like went to go buy some yogurt
Starting point is 01:46:07 and then like it spoiled the new Assassin's Creed on the back of your Greek yogurt. I just walked into the supermarket. You like, you see, you must have seen those billboards for like Greek yogurt where they've got the big Spartan and they're like, this is Spartan Greek yogurt. I'm not a big personal fan of the setting, but. Getting to hang out with one of the three, like Grateful Law, like getting to hang out with Socrates or Plato or you know, like Ancient Greece.
Starting point is 01:46:38 Not excited. OK, I like I'm more excited for this than syndicate. I feel like, yeah, but I feel like I got my fill of Ancient Greece on the old God of War games. Like it's just personally not that interesting to me. Like Egypt was, yeah, radical. But the question is, is are they actually going to be going? You are a Spartan. No. Or are they going to?
Starting point is 01:47:00 Because that helmet looks like a Spartan helmet. Yeah. But yeah. Right. Or are you going to play? Are you going to play as one of two characters? The Pussy Athenians that came out in a leak afterwards is that it is apparently going to have you'll be able to pick as a guy or girl as your main character. Cool. Like create a character.
Starting point is 01:47:21 Hopefully, fucking not. That's crazy, because isn't the whole thing about about origins that you're playing as back and he's a cool guy. Best. So he's my favorite. He's my new favorite. This has a great protagonist. He's amazing. And his wife is the shit. Yeah, she's super cool.
Starting point is 01:47:37 Yeah. All right. Keychains. Careful. Don't don't have your big game tied to a keychain. You don't want you to be like. Don't have your big star tied to Sonic the Hedgehog or or do whatever. The guy that plays the guy that plays Teddy in Westworld. First, Cyclops, second. Sorry, could you please use what I wrote to you?
Starting point is 01:48:04 Do you remember? But it's not true. No, I know. I didn't still say I got I didn't. I erased what you wrote because it's not true. I know, but it's so funny to be. It was, um, wait, what? Oh, my God, I just got so fucking confused by the title because I was like, James Marsden, the Red Dead were dead.
Starting point is 01:48:28 No, no, Teddy from Westworld is named James Marsden, the character from Red Dead is John Marsden. Yeah, a huge step up is in line for James Marsden's career as he leaves Westworld for the greener pastures of Sonic. That is good. But he's not leaving. Yeah, he is. Once he once he gets the mega success of this movie.
Starting point is 01:48:52 Anyway, so I erase switch to I erase the lies. Sure, sure, sure. But yes, Cyclops is apparently cast for the live action CGI Sonic movie Pikachu or Pikachu coming out first, Pikachu's coming out first, isn't it? I don't know. Because, I mean, we've seen like stills of that and whatnot. November 15th, 2019, Sonic the Hedgehog.
Starting point is 01:49:18 OK, that's where he is. There's a picture of him on the set of Sonic. Yeah, we were in his cowboy hat. Job's a job. I don't know. Apparently, he was also in an Easter Bunny movie. So it's not his first rodeo. They're going to have a part in the movie where where Sonic gets confused and he has to eat his own shit
Starting point is 01:49:36 and then froth up his own shit and then vomit all over himself and roll around in it while the other carousel. No, James Marsden will have to do that. OK, I'll have to do that for Sonic. Yeah, Christian parents will love that. Yes, they will. They will love that. This is the good hedgehog values. Well, I the novelty and the, you know,
Starting point is 01:49:52 probably unintentional hilarity of watching his live action CGI Sonic movie is just like kind of wish they just make a Sonic Boom movie. Just CG, good CG Sonic Boom movie. It's a scandal. But that doesn't that would just be straight to TV. You know what I mean? Like that wouldn't be theatrical. Sonic's going to fuck a human again. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, probably.
Starting point is 01:50:11 At least at least make out at least make out at least make eyes. Yeah, well, I really or I. Yeah. Yeah, as you do the VR handholding, look deep into his eye. Yeah, also. So I mean, they teased it and now we got the confirmation. But Sonic Racing is back and Sonic, for some reason, is riding in a vehicle that's slower than him on foot. So yay for Sonic and cars.
Starting point is 01:50:38 I saw a comment on our subreddit. I think it was all right that nailed the problem with this. And it's like the reason why people like Sonic All-Stars Racing is because it was every SEGA property ever. So now this is apparently doing away with that. Yeah. So the reason why Sonic is racing in a car is because he's got to equalize the playing field. So he's driving so that it's because it's slower than his fucking dog shit.
Starting point is 01:51:00 But like, Tails can run as fast as him in certain games. Yeah, because he makes his tail go. But is Sonic lowering himself for Tails? No, he's lowering himself. I have to imagine that they're going to lean hard into it because it's so obvious and like the intro cut scenes will show him running. And then everyone will be like, no, no, no. And he'll be like, what?
Starting point is 01:51:22 And they're like in the car. And he'll be like, I like this line. During the live stream, Weber also commented with tidbits on the upcoming racer saying that Sonic Team Sonic Racing will be very, very different from Sonic All-Stars Racing Transform. That is not a sequel. Is that what you want to say? No, because it's like wasn't all star racing really good.
Starting point is 01:51:43 Always gets mentioned as like that's one of the best. Everyone loved it. Why would you say the first one? Did you say it's not that? But where's all those classic Sonic characters that we know and love? Like Ralph and Danica Patrick and Yogg's cast and and Rio driving a hang on machine. Yeah, or is our machine. I mean, I saw that.
Starting point is 01:52:05 I didn't realize that like a real people made it. And Danica Patrick was a character friends with Sonic. That's crazy. Did you know Yogg's cast? She crashed in it. Really? Oh, OK. She crashed in her last. Imagine how many pissed off Sega people were like, stop this.
Starting point is 01:52:23 These aren't imaginative. The Nintendo is just like, yeah, a fucking us. Yeah. We're in the new. It's all pissed off. It's like there's still no sense of rage characters, but put in this fucking schmuck from Yogg's cast. I mean, Danica Patrick is a real racer, but it's like.
Starting point is 01:52:42 A woolly. I should mention Banjo Kazooie. Is she have a character design? Yeah, no. It's so curious, just just a photo. OK, it's a cardboard photo that animates. Yeah, OK, I wish I fucking wish I was then. Then I would be saying, I don't know. I was saying.
Starting point is 01:52:59 Uh, you were gone now. You were about that. I said I said she crashed in her last race. Oh, yeah, it's racers crash every race. Yeah, really, but not every race. But there was a final one and it was like ball. What a way to go out. Well, did she go out or is she fine?
Starting point is 01:53:13 No, she didn't go out. Well, then yeah, then it's fine to spun out. Yeah. It's like it's like the whole thing is that it's kind of what I almost want Mario Kart to turn into like Nintendo Smash racers kind of getting it's like it's very close. It's got inklings and like I always thought like Sonic racing transformed.
Starting point is 01:53:34 You know what else you have in the fucking? You have a Mercedes van. It's true. And it sucks to go away from that. Like, no, let's make it more about Sonic. No, you have so many characters you don't do. No, that's really there is a Mercedes van. And no, no, no, I was going to say
Starting point is 01:53:49 like it just reminds me of like when Usain Bolt did his last race and like he pulled up and like like fell over. Yeah. You know, you're like, that's a or when or when Pacquiao and and what's his fucking name? Joy Jones, George Mayweather Mayweather. I'm thinking of Roy Jones, Jr. for some reason.
Starting point is 01:54:08 Mayweather had their last fight and they had a little hugging match in the middle of the ring and it sucked. Clinch me when you get tired. You got to get your breath. It's a strategy. I watched parts of that fight, dude, that's sucked. It's spectator, spectator wise, it's Thorst, but it's like clinching is clinching, man.
Starting point is 01:54:26 Yeah, I know. Yeah. No maneuvers ever. You put you put you make it so that if they clench for more than one second, yeah, make a little box. We get it. All right. And then someone dies. Right. Got it. Punchline. It's a fighting sport.
Starting point is 01:54:38 Yes. Whatever. Like I'll just don't roll your I'll head you off at the pass and say it would be great. It would be better if someone died end of Pat's story. It'd be a more interesting tournament. Yeah. Okay. So here's what no one asked for. Cool. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:54 Silver, Sable and Black. I sent you the story, will you? But you go through it. What? Spider-Man spinoff, Silver and Black, which is not a bad name, admittedly, removed from Sony's release schedule, but it ain't dead. No one understand.
Starting point is 01:55:07 But basically there was a spinoff planned featuring Black Cat and Silver Sable called Silver and Black. And that's been delayed indefinitely is what they realize that they were making a spinoff movie based on Black Cat and Silver Sable. I've always, always, always not cared for Silver Sable. What is the meaning here?
Starting point is 01:55:33 Like, oh, these two chicks have platinum white hair. Yeah. Well, throw them in a movie. Slap the titties together. And OK, but you must have had one of those Marvel cards back in the day and went like, oh, yeah, Silver Sable. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, I knew because I knew you'd be way in.
Starting point is 01:55:48 I'm not into her enough to think she gets her own movie. Oh, man, Silver Sable sucks. Some people are still like, it's weird that Venom has his own movie. Yeah, I'm one of those people. It's just as weird to have. Silver Sable had like she was in lots of comics, but she was barely in her own.
Starting point is 01:56:06 Yeah. So that's a thing. There you go. Yeah. They're making it. Now they're not making it. So this thing you didn't care about might not come out now. There you go. Fair enough. I'll manage. But what are they doing?
Starting point is 01:56:18 I don't know. I feel like Tony doing with Spider-Man shit. Yeah, it's like I think they had a giant like road map. And then they went, by the way, we'll let MCU do a thing or two to help us. And then the MCU thing was like bigger and better and more explosively successful. And then they were like, ah, that's too crazy shit.
Starting point is 01:56:40 There's a Morbius movie in the works. The fucking Sinister Six was a thing. Venom was a thing. All of that shit was a thing that they called years ago. Morbius is still happening. And no one cares anymore because homecoming was good. Everyone wants Sony to just quit and hand it over. And then those leaks happen too.
Starting point is 01:56:58 That just made it even more embarrassing. This is sad. This is sad and pathetic. It feels like it feels like a name. It feels like a movie based entirely on the fact that they came up with a name. This is genuine. The way Sony is scrambling to do a cool thing
Starting point is 01:57:12 is fucking pathetic. But you can't do it with the remnants of Spider-Man. You can't do it with no Spider-Man. And it's obvious that Spider-Man can't be his own cinematic universe. You know what people like about Spider-Man? Fucking Spider-Man, god damn it. Now, it's not that you can't take a character
Starting point is 01:57:28 no one knows or cares for and then make that good. Because- That pool is a really good example. That's not, that's a bad example. What are you talking about? Deadpool was super, like, do you think the average person knew who Deadpool was before Deadpool's movie came out? The average person, no.
Starting point is 01:57:43 But I'm saying Deadpool as a character was great for a while. Oh, okay, that's true. But more people- Guardians of the Galaxy would be more apt. Yeah, yeah. More people know and care about Deadpool than when the Iron Man movie wasn't a thing yet.
Starting point is 01:57:55 Okay. Yeah. Now Iron Man's mega popular. Yeah, Deadpool- Like, Deadpool's crazy popular. Internet cred. And then because the whole fourth wall gag made him huge.
Starting point is 01:58:05 And his game came out well before his movie. So, you know, there's all that. Yeah, no, Guardians of the Galaxy were who the fucks into all, yeah, all in. So it's not that you can't do that, but like Silver Sable sucks. And I don't trust Sony. And Black Cat's not interesting enough to carry everything.
Starting point is 01:58:23 And I don't think they have the ability to do this. That's Black Cat's superpower. It depends. Like, apparently she actually gave people- And athletic. Yeah, that's what she actually is. But apparently it's like when she started, she thought that people had bad luck around her.
Starting point is 01:58:38 But then she just got tech. Like, she just shoots like wires out of her gauntlets and she's faster. She's just strong and fast. She's tech. Got it. It's the same. I'm sure people will correct us.
Starting point is 01:58:49 Yeah. Can't wait for the Black Panther comparisons. That'll be fun. Well, this needs to come out. I don't know. You're right. Because of the name? Yes, and because they're cat people.
Starting point is 01:59:03 Silver and Black. What about Black and Black? Black Cat and Black Panther? I don't think Black Panther would be like, yeah, you can help me. Yeah, right? Yeah, yeah, get over here. Even though they're both just slightly stronger humans,
Starting point is 01:59:19 really, at the end of the day. Yeah, I think Black Panther has a little bit more of a tech and an entire civilization. He's got a country. Yeah, a country. Also, he's got a cool accent. Yep. Ooh.
Starting point is 01:59:34 And on the Hot on the Teals of Vermintide comes Chaos Bane, which is a pretty good word. Action RPG Warhammer Chaos Bane announced. Where's my Warhammer fighting game? This is, I'd be down. Although a lot of characters would play the same. No, no. You can use all the races.
Starting point is 01:59:55 Well, either is the most massive roster ever. It'd be huge, but wouldn't it pretty much come down to, no, never mind. I take it back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Warhammer is the most varied roster ever. Let me explain my thought process, right? Because I thought of a bunch of space marines
Starting point is 02:00:18 shooting guns at each other from across the screen. And then I went, wait, that guy had a sword, and that other guy has a hammer, and then that guy's got the chainsaw. And that guy's half crab. And then that thing's just a crazy alien orc thing. And then there's that other monster weirdo. And then that thing's just an angel.
Starting point is 02:00:36 And that thing's a space zombie made out of death metal. And then it was like, all right, yeah, for never mind. You can do it. There are more playable races in Warhammer that you could just do one rep from each race, and you'd have a full roster. That's the kind of game that needs a life bar that's made up of your organs in the corner.
Starting point is 02:00:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah, like a weapon lord or something. And each one of your hearts and lungs and whatever I completely fucking agree with you. That would be a radical fighting game. Or just the new, the hack and slide, the third space marine. Yeah, just a new space marine. That game was great. Yeah, but like I'd want a new one on new consoles.
Starting point is 02:01:15 Well, anyway, now that the wind is fully out of its sails, Chaos Bane has been announced. And that's when they say action RPG, that that looks like Diablo-ish from that is far zoomed out. Yeah, and it's apparently going to. There's so many Warhammer games. Warhammer fantasy, Old World, taking place in the war against chaos.
Starting point is 02:01:35 Yeah. And Human, High Elf, Wood Elf, or Dwarf, and cursed prog of known the old capital city of the empire. It's a fucking pointy clicky Warhammer game coming. Hey, that could be really good. It's a click like. That could be really good. Like a lot of the chaos stuff is very, very old gods,
Starting point is 02:01:52 like eldritch shit. Cool. Weird crab man tentacle monstrosity shit. So are there fighting game people that want a Warhammer game? And are there Warhammer people that want a fighting game? Well, I feel like those are not. I feel like those Venn diagrams don't overlap as much as you'd think. You'd have to get the people, the Warhammer people to stop
Starting point is 02:02:12 like smelling the fucking glue to fucking talk about fighting games. But hey, for a second, Farnish, that's what I'm thinking of the fucking far. I was like, that's just Jesus Christ, dude. Like, why are you throwing them all under the plus? Because they're huge nerds like the thing that they like. If I walked into a game's workshop and I held up like a vote and said, like, what genre would you like a video game of Warhammer to be in?
Starting point is 02:02:37 I don't think chances are fighting game is you would way low on that list. Have hisses directed at you. Well, because most of them will be angry that you open up the door and light hit them. Also, also for real, though, that that that mean ass gag comes from a situation many years ago when I was walking downtown with a friend of mine. And she goes, oh, cool, games workshop, because we have one down in the mall. And they have those really nice ones now that have the nice games workshop. It's a big one with lots of people in it, you know, and they're doing this stuff.
Starting point is 02:03:08 And she's like, oh, cool, I've never actually seen any of that stuff. I'm going to go and I go, wait, no. And she walks in and just her face just crinkles up and walks back out. She goes, smells in there. I'm like, yeah, it sure does. It sure does. And then I was like, it's the paint stuff. Yeah, they're not running melee sets in there.
Starting point is 02:03:29 It's the paint. Yeah, that's stupid, says the guy going home through his 50 pound box of Kingdom Death plastic. There's a lot of like cross contamination there. Yeah, you showed. Kingdom Death has titties. If you show the fighting game players, they're just horrible. You don't want to look at them.
Starting point is 02:03:50 You showed fighting game players a trailer of Warhammer fighting game. And if it looked good, just visually and mechanically, people, people would be like, that looks rad and metal in the 90s. Yeah, yeah. But again, like they probably want an action RPG or a MOBA. Like I said, I want like a space marine sequel, you know, or one of the things that we've already gotten, like you're a dawn of war. And there's lots of first person.
Starting point is 02:04:13 It's weird because it's it's like it's a property that there's the two. There's the twin properties, right? There's the old one and the new one and the old, sorry, Warhammer and 40 K. And Warhammer has had a better run of games. Overall, it feels except for the Dawn of War series one and two. But it's like, fuck, my heart is just in the future, man. Like you want 40 K more. Hell, yeah, I do.
Starting point is 02:04:38 Matt, are you there? Is like, I mean, isn't it I? Yeah, well, I isn't it overall like more popular between the two? I don't fucking know. Actually, I would generally be in it. Mothman, tell us, tell us, is Warhammer more popular or 40 K more popular? I would assume 40 K because sci-fi. But yeah, but generic fantasy is more popular.
Starting point is 02:05:02 I guess, but because the tech aspect makes the weird stuff in Warhammer even weirder because D&D, though. So D&D is popular. Yeah, I don't know. I have no, I have no idea. But like, I feel like I hear a lot more about 40 K because of like, because it's fucking cool. Nuts the lore goes compared to the original Warhammer, which I know very little about.
Starting point is 02:05:28 It's fucking cool. That's what it is. Shoot space guns at the Zerg. I mean, the tyrannism. Let's take some emails. Hey, if you want to send an email about Warhammer lore, no more hammer, I'm not going to read the Horus Heresy, but send it to superbestfriendcast at gmail.com.
Starting point is 02:05:50 That's super best friendcast of gmail.com. And you could sound something like this, which is woolly reading the email that he has picked up beforehand because it is a good one. Hello, super best friends. I'm a huge Warhammer fan. Yeah, well, that shit about the crazy ass emperors is not. I still can't believe fucking Blizzard got away with ripping them off so hard.
Starting point is 02:06:08 I mean, I can't think of anything that got like style wise that got ripped off that that bad. I'm sure there's something, but we can't think of it. Fatal Fury, man. Hey, there's three four. So directly because they just took three of the they just took the races because like, yeah, even Fatal Fury, like, like, no, Fatal Fury would start craft or Warcraft.
Starting point is 02:06:31 Both of them. Yeah, I guess it's all like Shodokan as a style. The characters was stolen, but like Terry's Terry, you know, and Kyos Kyo, like they eventually went their own way as you look at like the Starcraft roster and you're like, Jesus, fighting is that's a bad one. But in the nineties, especially in the PC space, I kind of feel that like, like, Warhammer didn't have games and stuff yet for many, many long video games. So I think it's like, well, we really big fans of that shit.
Starting point is 02:07:00 Let's make our own. And like, we want we want to make it because no one else is. But if Blizzard did that nowadays, like, if there was no Warcraft, the Starcraft, now they would make it. Yeah, they would be a notch overwatch was just like, oh, man, this is supposed to Warhammer characters. Then it'd be awesome. It would be pretty cool.
Starting point is 02:07:17 Then it'd be the shit. Let's take one here from. But. I saw a big ad on a website on on Steam today that said skulls for the skull throne, that was the ad. Yes, that is a sale on good good tagline. Lionel says, hey, Lionel, what up? Hell, no, no, grew.
Starting point is 02:07:45 Hey, super best pals. Fucking God, I'm mad. What's the most out of place thing you've seen in normal every day life that freaks you out? Well, in case you need a point of reference, my recent example is last Sunday at 3 a.m. I dropped a family off at the airport. I went to use the bathroom in the stall. I did my business and exited.
Starting point is 02:08:03 And as I opened the stall door, I saw a small plaque on a wall with a trash bin that said syringe disposal unit. It was followed by a couple of alarms going off in my head since it felt incredibly out of place. And then a question. Why here? I proceeded to get the fuck out of Dodge. And it's been my mind ever since.
Starting point is 02:08:19 Yeah, also people, but insulin. Some people have to like, oh, yeah, that's a thing. That's that's that's a legitimate thing. And that's the primary reason why they're there. And I remember I was I was at a party with some friends and I had no idea that was a thing. And the way I discovered it being a thing was when the dude pulled out a syringe and we started going into his hip.
Starting point is 02:08:39 And I was like, oh, hey, man, hey, bro, what up? Then he's like, let me get some of that. You know, and like, I had to be like that. I can eat 10 K informed what the deal was. However, the idea being, of course, here, that even if it's not an insulin shot, you got to do that because then the poor person picking up the garbage and throwing it out gets hit with a fucking dirty syringe. And their life is ruined for just doing their job.
Starting point is 02:09:08 Well, so ruined, but they're going to have at the very least a bad day or two. Possibly more. Yes. So one you do that so that even if someone or the same thing like with the the ash trays and on airplane bathrooms, where it's like, don't fucking do it. But oh, my God, if you have to do it here, because this is the safest way where we don't all fucking cause a fire in the bathroom because you try to throw your stupid cigarette in the in the in the garbage
Starting point is 02:09:40 or or you don't have a syringe poking through a garbage bag or something done like that, you know? So it's the giving kids condoms like what's the what's basically what's the weirdest thing you've seen in public is the question, right? I think I'm out of place. I think in line with what he said, like an installation or like, oh, the most out of place thing you've seen in everyday life that freaked you out. Because like for me, it was it was Superman and
Starting point is 02:10:03 Spider-Man getting into a drunken fist fight outside the movie theater a couple of years ago. They were arguing over tips on the street. Yeah, if you had like, I'm sure anyone down on fucking like sunset can point out like all the people in like ghetto Elmo fighting against like like the metal man standing still or Times Square for that matter. What's the weirdest thing? I don't I can't think of anything that.
Starting point is 02:10:34 That jumps to mind other than I think I saw Braille on one of those drive up ATMs at some point. And I went, fuck, it's like, oh, it's a generic model, ATM, whatever, they just installed it in here. They're not intending for blind people to drive up to it. Yeah, I don't know. That's a tough one. Yeah, I got to give that a think.
Starting point is 02:11:03 Let's take one here. Superman won that fight. Well, not inherently weird. I do know you like talking about this. Well, I saw a brand new faucet drying your hands. Tech. All right. The bathroom, the fancy place I was in yesterday at a faucet that would separate into into three prongs.
Starting point is 02:11:21 OK. The center prong was where the water came out. And then the two other metal prongs that came out on the sides. You put your hands directly underneath them so you have to move them about like two inches and then really hard blasts of air come out and dry. So it's not moving your hands over to another space. It's all centered on the faucet. That's pretty strong.
Starting point is 02:11:43 It was pretty strong. And it's like a very strong jet. It's like a cleaning trident. I guess I'll never betray the air blade because the air blade is my friend and it's the only wholesome choice. But these are as almost as strong as an air blade. Yeah, because the convenience and now there's two for both hands. OK, OK, very interesting.
Starting point is 02:12:01 Seek it out now. The fucking the power blaster, five thousand or whatever the shit it's called the skin shredder. Now that should just get the fuck out extra hard. Oh, my bones. There's no there's no room for third place. That's a dry bone. No room for third place. OK. Get on asks Salomeo Rami.
Starting point is 02:12:19 Hi, Salomeo. What's the most impressive dish you can cook from scratch without looking up a recipe? Nothing. Eggs, I guess. Eggs, I can make eggs. Um, I make a mean Rosé. Really? Yeah, for you. Yeah, I'm proud of that one. I think I can make I think I can make lamb chops.
Starting point is 02:12:39 The only thing that's hard with that is just the the recipe for the marinade. I kind of know, but I might need to still look it up for the exact measurements. But I know what goes into it. So the marinade for lamb chops I can I can do. Oh, yeah. Bradley says, you know, why zap sucks so much zap? Pat, explain why the zapping system sucks so much and why it's inferior to the vastly superior storytelling
Starting point is 02:13:06 mechanic of the dark side chronicles via amazing rail shooting. I have been getting so much fucking dog shit about this dog shit or truth shit. Dog shit. Oh, zapping school, because it takes a limited like length campaign and with a couple minor differences creates the illusion of like a lot of interconnectivity and long term replay value. But isn't it better to be guided? No, on some type of rail. No. Oh, they're super best, bitter acquaintances.
Starting point is 02:13:40 Joe here, when I was about seven, I played a lot of Tekken two and I was happy to see a Tekken three cabin, the arcade on the pier. Put all my coins in the machine till some bigger kids came along and said that they'd pay for all the games I could beat them in. OK, I confidently accepted towards the end of the second round. The kid I was playing says, don't win. We'll get another round. I did win and the kid was mad. I was scared he was bigger than me and he had a brother to back him up.
Starting point is 02:14:06 I gave him a pound and I left watching my back as I went. Crappy anecdote aside, have you ever had anyone, you know, are valued that valued playing time? Play the game over winning the game, you're paying money on a per game basis. I know exactly what he's talking about. Absolutely. He's phrased it in a confusing way. But don't beat me because we can play this fun game a little bit. Absolutely a thousand percent.
Starting point is 02:14:31 So air hockey, the standard, the absolute standard, at least until I want to say I was out of high school. Like while I was in high school, playing with friends or playing with family. No, no, earlier, maybe grade 10. Second round, if I won the first round, I let you in. Let we play. And then before you're about to die, you take a short thing and we go to final round. Yeah, absolutely. I do that as a kid with mainly with mainly with friends and family
Starting point is 02:14:59 with strangers, you just play, right? But with acquaintances, friends and family, you always let second round rock because you get to play longer. And that was that was that was hard. Let them get done. Yeah, well, you fucking didn't. Whatever, like it makes more sense in the arcade because money is a factor. Money is a factor.
Starting point is 02:15:18 We're all coming in with allowance. We all have a limited amount and we want to maximize. You don't want to go home every quarter. So that second round became a practice round because I fight you until you almost died. And then you got to practice shit on me because there's never a training mode because that didn't exist. No. And you try out some shit and then kill me off. And then third round would go final and get maximum out of your car out of your
Starting point is 02:15:40 50 cents, super, duper common. I mean, I remember doing that maybe a little bit at home, but it was mostly an arcade thing. And that and that went away quickly because in high school, that's when I started getting access to like arcades like all the time because I was going to school downtown and that really quickly went away because when we noticed when we come down, there would be lots of people on their lunch breaks and then you couldn't do it.
Starting point is 02:16:04 You did. Yeah, I didn't attempt it because I was playing with business. Yeah, not with strangers. Now, it wouldn't be with strangers. This was a thing with friends and family. The and it was just similarly when you're with friends and family and you're like playing on the same quarter. If the computer wins round one, then I'm fucking playing. But if I were in round one, you can have round two.
Starting point is 02:16:24 And then I come back in and on final round because no one beats the computer on round two. That was like the computer on round two is fucking the A.I. It's busted and cheap. All the walking forward sonic booms are happening in round two. But you get to play that and then I come back in or whatever. Like that would be the thing. I got that.
Starting point is 02:16:47 We're going to take one from Andrew, who says their Caribbean amazing friend cast. Do you think cross tag battle deserves the spot at Evo? Personally, I say yes, but I was never a fan of K.O.F. ARX has basically kind of kind of kindled my love in fighting games. So I'm biased, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. I mentioned it briefly when we first announced this, but I don't think it deserves the spot because it's brand new and it's untested.
Starting point is 02:17:10 Probably not. And and it's especially hypocritical when you consider that Skullgirls, which had longer and to establish itself in advance, was told not too early because it's too early. I don't think anything barring a street fighter should ever get in unless it's been out for a significant amount of time, like six months at least, to get into Evo. BB tag getting in is a supreme display of hypocrisy based on the way other games have gotten treated.
Starting point is 02:17:42 And it has nothing to do with even like the quality of the game at that point. But it's just like, what the fuck, you know, I definitely don't think so. It doesn't hurt. And I mean, it doesn't hurt that I'm like, I could probably do without it. But as is, I think it's it's supremely unfair. Even if they announced Killer Instinct when it was coming out, if like it was going to be announced for Evo and it wasn't even out yet,
Starting point is 02:18:05 like because I was still nervous about Killer Instinct at that point, I'd be like, I don't think so. Because you know, even if it's a game you're anticipating, you want to be at Evo, you're still kind of nervous about its reception. Like what if it's just like it's shown at Evo, shown at the largest stage for a fighting game could possibly be. And it just has a bad showing somehow for whatever reason. Like it's just unhyped to watch or as people don't know about it yet.
Starting point is 02:18:26 Can't punch planet up there on Sunday night. I'd be nervous, too. Should Dong Dong be there? Yes. Well, Dong Dong's going to be there. Well, if you're the poverty, though, is already like it's the champ. I wish it was a real thing. It's the champ of poverty, though.
Starting point is 02:18:44 So it's like, you don't even have to. You can't take both crowns. Whose brothers be there? Yes. I would start poverty, Evo. Dears, shut up and listen to the start. You'd start poverty, Evo. Yeah, like make my own.
Starting point is 02:19:00 Oh, because I'm like, we mean, I'm like, I'm like, what do you mean start? My own thing. Yeah. You mean jack off the jack onto the fucking bandwagon that exists? No, no, no. Yeah. Dears, shut up and listen to this.
Starting point is 02:19:14 Walkhouse fighters. There you go. What are we shutting up and listening to? Dears, shut up and listen to this shit. Did you fuckers know that in the year of our Lord 1400, in the forest of Bondi outside of Paris, France, one Aubrey de Montellier was murdered by Chevalier Maquet. The only witness, Aubrey's Greyhound, name unknown.
Starting point is 02:19:38 Maquet buried the body and left the dog to die, only for that radical pupper to go get his now dead master's best friend, drag his confused French ass back to the murder site, dig up his former master for the poor confused French dandy to see. From there, it gets crazier as this gentle doggo friend of all in the forest, an amiable sort and all around good boy, would fly into a sudden rage whenever he'd come into contact with the Chevalier. These sudden bursts of feral rage led many to begin to suspect the Chevalier
Starting point is 02:20:10 of murder as to why this gentle Borkmaster began to shriek in pure hatred at no one else but this asshole, unless this one asshole killed his master. This was brought to the attention of the King, who in what I can only assume was highest shit off opium or whatever the fuck the French aristocracy got turnt with, decided that the dog was making a formal accusation at the Chevalier, accusing the dandy murder, the dandy fuck of murder. And so the King deemed that the only way to solve this murder was trial by combat. So the dog?
Starting point is 02:20:44 So the French fuck and this beast of a dog have a formal duel in the ÃŽle de France in Paris. The winner proven right in the eyes of our lord, the loser sentenced to death and by extension eternal damnation. So this dog has to fight with knot, but tooth and claw, and a fucking barrel fro cover, and the Chevalier gets a lance. What? A lance?
Starting point is 02:21:07 The priest or whatever makes his blessing and the dog is freed into the arena to do the very fast right of the Chevy's dickhole. The dog tears the truth out of the fucker's mouth within minutes. The King gives a thumbs down and the Chevy is hung for his crimes. I assume the dog is then named the goodest of boys and gets back to his pack of bitches for the rest of his days. The end. That is a good dog.
Starting point is 02:21:32 What? Is this a real story? I'm spending a yard. I'm trying to find out as fast as I can because that's some shit. That's turning into a Phoenix Wright case where like the only fucking witness is an animal of which this would be like the second dog that's been on trial if it was in Phoenix Wright. The dog of Montargis or the murder of the wood. Wait.
Starting point is 02:21:57 Okay. Is a 19th century melodrama based on a tale of Robert McCarran's trial by combat with a dog. So this is real. There was a real guy. No. No. No. Yes.
Starting point is 02:22:11 Robert McCarr is a fictional character who appeared in a season unscrupulous swindler who appeared in a number of French plays and films and works. Okay. This is an old story. This is an old story. This is old and not true. But fun. It is very fun.
Starting point is 02:22:32 That's pretty good. That's a good story. Well written too. I mean in the email. Yes. Bork master. Bork master extreme. I'm doing some.
Starting point is 02:22:43 Are they in jail now? No probably not. Yeah. Okay. Just triple checking that to make sure it's super fake. And it is in fact fake. What is coming up? What's coming out?
Starting point is 02:22:57 Okay. We got God of War. DMX. DMX being in jail. That's coming out. That's new. Every day. DMX is not coming out.
Starting point is 02:23:04 Oh did you see what happened at his resentencing or whatever the fuck it was? Where they played a song. Where they played a song. Yeah they played a song and then they tried to use that. Shut up. And he got a shit ton of ears shaved. No what happened? They played tripping for the judge and he got his sentence.
Starting point is 02:23:21 A tripping. A fall. I can't get up. Yeah they tried. And they got a bunch of... I didn't hear about the results. Oh yeah. I heard that they...
Starting point is 02:23:29 Oh no it super worked. I heard that it didn't but okay. No it absolutely 100% worked. What was he in jail for? Is it still taxed though? I think it's robbing that guy in the gas station. Oh I forgot. In the parking lot.
Starting point is 02:23:41 Or some shit. I don't know. DMX loves crime. And who can blame him. But what's coming up is we got God of War coming out more. We more God of War. Very more. What's after God of War?
Starting point is 02:23:52 God of War. Yeah we got more Detroit's coming up. Very much excited. Lots of death. To see... God damn it. Lots to see. Oh man I was getting real real anxious when people were like hey Pat maybe don't try and
Starting point is 02:24:08 you get corner damage so much. And I'm like oh boy. The wheel of LP is turning. So you could look at the last thing to know what's about to come. And we can we can also say that token morale sessions is ongoing. You guys are having fun with... I don't know what the fuck's going on. Big boy fun.
Starting point is 02:24:25 I'm seeing fucking screenshots coming out of that LP that I don't fucking understand for shit. Big boy fun going down in in hashtag FE. Yeah. Tell you what. I don't have any rock saw plans this week but I'll probably stream something over at Angri's Pat on Twitch. How about you Wolves? What do you got?
Starting point is 02:24:41 What do you have going on? I got near Automata which is going to continue. And it's going to continue with the new improved shutting the fuck up policy. Which I'm going to be instituting. So let me let me ask you because I haven't been watching. I don't watch shit. But I noticed that when you put up episode six the other day on Twitter, you put it up with the phrase end of the first session on it.
Starting point is 02:25:08 Is that what's up with that? Oh, I just wanted to let people know because I... New information and insights can only be applied to sessions. There's that. There's the fact that it's like this is the first time I sat down. So, you know, there's that bit. And the second is that near... What are you laughing at already?
Starting point is 02:25:29 This is the way you said it in the song. Near does not play nicely with bitrate. No, don't. It is a bright, colorful game that fucking melts as soon as the codec and YouTube's compressor gets on it. Don't worry. Twitch's compressor fucks it up too. So, I did a lot of test uploads to see what would happen.
Starting point is 02:26:00 And the not awful version will only be applicable as of the second session. As far as my own personal shenanigans with YouTube, the only thing you can possibly do is upload it in higher and higher frame rates. And because that YouTube allocates you to more frame rate. Even if you're only recording it at a lower frame rate, you can fuck with it. But the old trick of putting up a 4k video and then getting max bitrate... Now that don't work. That's gone.
Starting point is 02:26:30 So, you get the same... Now it's a frame rate thing and it's only 30 and 60. Exactly. So, that shit sucks. And it's weird because it's the total opposite of Twitch. And Twitch, hey, you want your shit to look better? Turn everything down. Frame rate and fucking...
Starting point is 02:26:47 Because the higher your res and your frame rate is compared to your bit rate, the worse it's going to look. At least Twitch lets you move that number around. Yeah, manually. YouTube does not. But Twitch also has a really low maximum cap. In any case, that's happening. That is also happening alongside the return to Naruto.
Starting point is 02:27:10 I am fucking shocked when I saw that. Why? Because fuck Naruto, man. Why would I... What's shocking about it? Because like... Yeah. So, that's why Naruto continues.
Starting point is 02:27:26 Because I don't like unfinished business. You have lots of businesses unfinished. I have lots of unfinished business and I don't like it. I would say that you are probably the person that I would think loves unfinished business the most of anyone I've ever met in my entire life. That's... ...tore shit. I fucking hate it.
Starting point is 02:27:43 And I hate when there's... I hate when people insinuate that I like unfinished business. And I hate when there's... That's unfinished business. I hate when there's like... It's like a thing that can be lorded over you of how unfinished your business is. Hell yeah, I can. It's a date of when was when...
Starting point is 02:28:00 Like when... How long ago episode eight got uploaded and or when the last this was or that was. And then the more unfinished business you have, the more people can go look how much shit you haven't ever... You know? Fuck you. Where's... Like look how sad it is that we...
Starting point is 02:28:14 Anyway. Little sad-y. So, the point is, is finish it. And that's continuing. And it was also whatever. I had so I had recording difficulties, but... Is it like, are you having fun with that narrative? Which one is it?
Starting point is 02:28:28 I'm playing Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 with Reggie and... Is that the one that has all the cool moments? Yeah, it's the Cyber Connect. It's the Cyber Connect shit. Yeah, I don't know. I had to address some like feelings about solo LP. It's a bit tricky. Oh, it's tough as shit, dude.
Starting point is 02:28:45 It's very hard. And sometimes you gotta, you know, talk to your dick. Pretend your dick is a person and then talk to it. Yeah, or cough back up. Not the best idea from Naruto. I don't know. And other large time consuming projects are continuing, but I will drop them without warning suddenly on your timeline.
Starting point is 02:29:06 Like how people like it. I noticed you've been messing around with like 11 a.m. and... I just wanted to see. I just wanted to see, you know. It was a bad idea, by the way. Like the fucking was it? Like I did a midnight upload just to see. Like, oh god, that's terrible.
Starting point is 02:29:18 Don't do that. But yes, Naruto continue and then there's some other cool shit in the pipe line. Do you have one big pipe that all the ideas go in or do you have multiple pipes? There's multiple pipes. But the one big one is kind of obvious if you've been paying attention. It's something that people have been asking about and it's a good one. So, Woolly versus. Thank you.
Starting point is 02:29:42 That's youtube.com slash woolly versus. That's woolly versus.com. Oh, woolly versus.com. Oh, look at you. Hey, Matt. What's up? What's up? You got anything coming out?
Starting point is 02:29:52 Yes. What do you got? I have Cramtina Critique's Jojo Eyes of Heaven coming up tonight. It's two hours long. That could have kept going. That could have kept going. I have the penultimate episode of Matt's Palace of Persia, detailing all about Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands.
Starting point is 02:30:11 Hey, that's a good one. Which many people forgot. People forgot that there was like seven different versions of it. And then later this week, I am doing a I have a video with me and Maximilian playing an old arcade game together. So that that'll be on Friday. You're answering this one? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:30:30 Maybe Wednesday night, but I haven't decided what game yet. There's a couple of things. I also felt like we could maybe even talk about really, really, really like some things that are coming out this week. Yep. Just because I got some of this. And next week as well because. Yeah, it's coming.
Starting point is 02:30:46 Just games and stuff. Aragami Nightfall, which is the really, really good underrated ninja stealth game that plays a little bit like Splinter Cell, but with magic that came out like a year ago. But it's like it's big DLC that comes with co-op. I've literally never heard of this game. Aragami Nightfall, you're saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:31:05 Aragami. It's really good. The base version I play. Blazebrew Cross Tag doesn't deserve to be at Evo comes out this week. Oh, it does. Yes. Did you know? Did you know?
Starting point is 02:31:15 I had an inkling. Yes. Yeah, no, it doesn't deserve the main stage. It probably deserves a purchase. It doesn't deserve to be at Evo at this stage. Yes. Hey, yo, let me ask you a question. You know that Ruby Rose song that's underneath,
Starting point is 02:31:31 Can't Escape from Crossing Fate? Yeah. Why does that song suck? But I love it. I couldn't think. I couldn't take another minute. Yeah. But I love it.
Starting point is 02:31:46 Because it works for the meme? Because it's the same thing as To Be Continued, where like you get the first line cold on a silent sound out of nowhere. So when we're walking up to Maximillian, you just get, I couldn't take, I couldn't stand another minute. I was wondering, Can't Escape from Crossing Fate? It's dude, I don't know why. It works for memes.
Starting point is 02:32:06 Hard. Yeah, I'm actually going to, you know, buy it just to see. Yeah. I didn't like the game when I played it initially. Again, like I said, I think, you know, not worth main stage, but worth a purchase. Maybe. On Rush, the game where I'm like, I really hope the main game
Starting point is 02:32:23 I'm missing something that comes out this week on PS4 and Xbox. Shack Fu, A Legend Reborn comes out this week. Okay. Well, I also hope that's better than what I played at PAX East, because I, it had problems like gameplay problems. Warhammer 40K, Inquisitor, Martyr also comes out. I have no idea what that is. Uh, wait, why is?
Starting point is 02:32:45 I will be able to look at this. Are you just running down the list of releases? List of things that we could possibly care about. 40K, Inquisitor. And, uh, and Vampire. Vampire? Vampire. Vampire, yes.
Starting point is 02:32:57 They don't nod, don't nod Vampire game. Which I want to know more about. I want to know more. And something called Roller Coaster Legends. I don't want to know more about you. Two, Thor's Hammer. What subtitle is that for a game called Roller Coaster Legends? I don't know, but it seems intriguing.
Starting point is 02:33:13 So that's it. What is this fucking game? Mothman says 40K is by far more popular. By far says the Mothman of Moth. Old World is, Old World Fantasy is nice, but Generic Fantasy is, but Generic Fantasy, it's from the 80s. So they recently ended the Old World setting in favor of Age of Sigmar, which is more abstract.
Starting point is 02:33:37 Moth, thank you. Thank you. We set him off. I also really want to check out- Oh God, we set him off. Paragraphs are waiting for me. Oh God, all right. I also want to check out the new horror movie coming out this week
Starting point is 02:33:50 called Hereditary, which is supposedly- Oh, it's about your mom. Yeah. The trailer for that shows that kid. That kid was cast well. Yeah. Like, that kid is like- You saw that in front of Deadpool, the trailer?
Starting point is 02:34:03 No, in front of- No, I saw it in front of a quiet place, actually. Yeah, they got a kind of funny looking kid. They got a funny looking kid. But it's supposed to be like- Kind of. It's supposed to be pretty fucked up. Warhammer Inquisitor Monitor is-
Starting point is 02:34:16 Martyr is a top-down isometric point-and-click action RPG. You mean like the one we saw just in 40K? Yes. Okay. It is like, look at this. It is literally exactly the same game as we were just talking about, but 40K. Okay.
Starting point is 02:34:36 And I don't have a date on it, but I have another big-ish project slash video coming out, hopefully in the next week or so. That's very edgy, is all. Edgy? Mm-hmm. Cut yourself on the edge. Yes.
Starting point is 02:34:49 Oh, yeah. It's a big big edge. Hey, I got a question for you guys. People have been asking me all day. What are the current plans for the E3 videos and- And or streams? Didn't make it out there. So I guess we're just going to watch them, right?
Starting point is 02:35:03 Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, I think are the locks for all three of us. Absolutely. The big three is the thing now. I don't think all together we'll be doing all those other ones because that's just too much and all at random times. And Matt, you mentioned that you might want to watch like the Ubisoft one.
Starting point is 02:35:20 I might just stream Ubisoft's and get drunk. If big three will do the rest, do whatever the fuck. Yeah. So like, we'll definitely all be here on Superbestfriend. What is this? Wait, hold on. What are the times? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:35:33 Is there absurd, ridiculous times? There's one on Sunday. The Nintendo one's going to fuck us, man. These Microsofts is on the Sunday and then Sony and Nintendo's are on the same day starting in the morning. Okay. We'll figure this out because if it was- On Tuesday, I think.
Starting point is 02:35:49 If it's like Sunday at a rough time and it's a time when I'm, you know, then... Okay, I got it. Well, you wouldn't have missed anything on Microsoft's. Microsoft's on Sunday. Is it 4 p.m. Eastern? That's fine. On June 10th.
Starting point is 02:36:02 June 10th. Okay. So I'm good with that. I don't know, but go on. Monday. Sony's is at 9 p.m. Eastern. I stand corrected. At 11.
Starting point is 02:36:14 And Nintendo is at... Tuesday. Noon Eastern on Tuesday. That's fine. Those are all fine. June 10th. It comes after June 9th. So Monday...
Starting point is 02:36:27 I thought Sony's and Nintendo's on the same day, basically. I'll have to get back because I do have something happening Sunday more that morning. So it depends on what time that finishes. Well, again, you don't need to be missing that Christmas. At the worst, yes. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 02:36:41 And yeah, EA's is on Saturday. Sunday's also Scott Bethesda and Devolver, which... They're doing their crazy show. I don't know if they're gonna do a fucking 24-hour stream like they did last year. There was a nightmare. I think that was a fun gimmick. I think, you know, personally,
Starting point is 02:36:55 I think they should make it like an hour show and just pack it with... I watched it for seven hours and then died. And Monday, we got Square Enix, Ubisoft at PC Gaming Show. Oh, that's fun. The PC Gaming Show is it? Yeah. How is that still a thing?
Starting point is 02:37:20 Anyway, it's fine. So yeah, if we're not all watching them here together, me or Matt might pick up one here or there on our streams. Like, I probably want to watch the EA and Bethesda ones. Yeah, I just want to do the Ubisofts. Yeah, because they might announce Prince of Persia. No, no, no, no, no. Warrior with Anto.
Starting point is 02:37:38 Warrior with Anto. Prince of Rabbids. No, they're not going to. And that's why I'm getting drunk. Let's see. Gotcha. One day, buddy. One day.
Starting point is 02:37:48 No. You say that. Wait, wait. Him or me? Yeah, he says one day. No, yeah. But the answer is no day. I don't mean it.
Starting point is 02:37:56 No day. The Forgotten Sands. Yeah, exactly. You OK, man? You like, as soon as the podcast ended, like your face just like. I also really disliked they play X going to give it to you for about 15 seconds in Deadpool,
Starting point is 02:38:25 then just stop with the song. And I'm like, oh, OK, I would have loved to have. Well, because it's movies. I heard that. Yeah, but you don't want to Zach Snyder it. With X going to give it to you. Yes, I would like to Zach Snyder it very much, sir. That is an incorrect opinion.
Starting point is 02:38:43 So like someone just tweeted us their friend's full Vingo card. Yeah, I just saw you reply to it. What? I'm just I'm just I'm so mad at how dumb people are. Oh, oh, you mean OK. Someone went I gave my friend the Vingo card and they just finished it. Here's what they got.
Starting point is 02:39:01 But we're not finished again. Like why? How did you think this was a good idea? Why would you do this? I just I just don't understand.
