People tell you when we're good. Yeah, we're good. We're good now. We're very good. We're good

until people tell us we're not good. Are we not good? She's all the time. I'm confirming good. The feeling of being good as being potentially good is leading me to the sensation of vomiting. Hi. Hey, what up? How are you guys doing? I stole Matt's weapons and everybody's mad. We're jumping like everything's crazy back in yesterday and then off again tomorrow, quite literally, because Evo and stuff is coming up. This is going to be a shorter than usual podcast, so we should just roll through it. Yeah, but just because the pleasure lasts a little bit less doesn't mean it's any less pleasurable. Remember that? Well, that's not what she said. That is what she told me. But I don't think you should believe her.

All I'm saying is that you can have a good time. You can regardless. The motion of the ocean is better when the duration of the cruise is also an extended period of time. Sometimes it lasts too long. You're like, I'm fucking bored of this. But sometimes time extended. Time extended or checkpoint. Checkpoint. I wish you could resume tomorrow. You're left off. And then you're like, oh, man, like too much effort. Let's just resume. Yeah, save points. Good. Save states. Absolutely. Absolutely. Load state, load state, load state. Not bad. Not bad. Not bad. Decent. But the point is that we're going to actually, yeah, because summer, the deal to deal with it and the same thing with the fact that we've recorded on the Tuesday. On the Tuesday? We recorded on the

Tuesday for the last couple. It sucks that not cool news came out on the Tuesday. Yeah, the Monday news was actually pretty boring. And I added a bunch to the docket just between yesterday and today. But the other thing too is that, yeah, because to peel back the curtain a little bit, things with where we scheduled. Does it pull or peel back the curtain? Because peel back implies there's dampness in the theater. Did I say peel? Yes, you did. Not that it's any worse. Well, you can peel a curtain. You can pull a curtain, but it's probably pull. It's a damn theater. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's stuck to the actors. But yeah, so the rigidity of early podcast episodes, I'd say, were much, much, much more locked in to like the time frame that they had to be recorded in.

And now it's a little bit more OK. Yeah, 2014 was fucked up. I don't even remember that time. What happened 2014? Yeah, but that being said, we know that like a break in a schedule or a break in an expected thing equals like just less people showing up because they're like, oh, the thing's not here. That's it. You know, the routine is broken. But either way, yeah, like summers are like just crazy every year. And you know, there's always tons going on and weekends especially get really rough. So, you know, sometimes things get bumped around a little bit. But ultimately, like we instantly have to record more Detroit after this. Exactly. That's what you're getting. I'm getting to the point that exactly immediately after this, we're going to go sit

down and happen. How much longer is left in the second gig? Are we like almost done? I feel like we're two sit-downs. Yeah, two. That sounds about right. But now the gun, it can go a lot faster. But I wanted to say that because more than two folks were like just move it to Tuesday. And it's like, no, but that doesn't solve the problem at all. It's not even that. It's just like there's been 250 normal Mondays. It's just a hectic summer. But also if it was going to slide from Monday to Tuesday, whatever plan was done for that would probably cause it to slide. People are also taking into account the news that gets broken on the late Mondays early Tuesdays. It's an impulsive thought based on hindsight being about two weeks. It just feels like, you know,

but it's a podcast at night. Beetle memory is what I like to call it. But also it's like networks used to like, oh, this doesn't work in this time slot. Why do we move it? Not that to say that Mondays don't work, but it's like maybe there's millions more people listening to podcasts on Tuesdays. I don't know. Well, that would be bad. Don't move it to Tuesday. But the official release being Tuesday is for a reason. Yes, none of this was random and happenstance. We decided to record it on Monday. It was all planned. Also a lot of people love Mondays, so they love to listen on podcasts. So you know what? I love Mondays. I wake up and I go, work Mondays. But it's still officially Tuesday. So everyone in on Mondays getting in early,

getting in good. The thing we need to get on to is our weeks and then like the docket, because a couple of things like got thrown on there. So. All right, I will jump ahead. I only did two things with my week. I got frustrated with gut. What's that? It's nothing. It's just the way you're said. Yeah, I sat there and I did one thing and then I did the other thing. I've been playing a lot of the gungeon update. Yeah, advanced dragons and drag guns. So good. It's amazing. Yeah, it's it's what are you playing it on? I play it on PC. Okay, with a controller because I'm a pleb like that. The it's just more stuff. It's that that kind of game just like the Isaac update model. Just just throw 100 more guns, just throw 300 new synergies or whatever. I finally

managed to build the bullet that can kill the past. But now I can't get back down to kill the dragon with it. That's the advanced drag gun. Yeah. Well, yeah, the drag gun was always the final boss or the pre final boss so close to that. So the rapper should have had a fucking dragon dragon should have the game has a fucking absolutely crazy like progression that I didn't expect where there's the final boss, which is the dragon. And then you when you kill the past, every character has their own super boss to beat to finish their story. And then once you do that with all of them, you go to the final level, which is bullet hell, and fight the lich, which is the end. And I'm not even close. Oh, man, that game is awesome. It's just great. It is. And it and it.

The first thing I noticed when I played it at packs, all those whenever ago years ago, was how fun it felt to roll. Yeah, the company is called dodge role. Yes. So it was it was like a company called Table Hopper and they make like an action game. It's the first first thing I noticed and like it immediately cemented how good it was a twin stick putting a bunch of time into it. I have come to the conclusion that Gunjan is the most referential game I've ever seen, ever. Every single thing is some kind of movie or game reference, including everything devolver's ever put out. Yeah, the gun called the devolver, etc. All the way down. They love their publisher all the way down to the final boss of is at fork Parker. The CEO of devolver like everywhere.

But the final boss of the robot, the character that you can unlock is the last human. And it's Sarah Connor in the Mexico outfit ripped that summons T 100s. Okay. It's it's it's just so fucking blatant all the time. It's it's awesome. And there's a certain nobility in that when someone really, oh, they rip it the fuck off. God had orange. Yeah, absolutely. This is awesome when you're not Alexander. Um, what else I want to say, the thing that I feel and I've been saying this a bunch on Twitter and when I streamed it is that the difference between this game and Isaac to me is that Isaac's first to first level and sometimes second level are awful. Whereas Gunjan's first level is fun. Because Isaac's first level, the shooting is like four directional and it's

God awful. And with no upgrades, everything is super slow and you move really slowly. Whereas Gunjan feels good to roll and move and shoot from the very start. Gun's not amazing. It's still useful. Yeah, no, comparing the two. Gunjan is way tighter. And you never feel like you're slide floating in a nebulous place on the screen. Yeah, like that's the thing about Isaac is that like as fun as Isaac is, you there's definitely a level of accuracy that you don't have with your character. You don't feel like a magic pixel in any way. No, you're you know what I mean? And and and again, the way you're you take a couple steps, you kind of sometimes overstep, you know, you're sure if you want to stand on the edge of something. Gunjan, you feel a lot of precision with every

movement. Isaac is a lot looser in that way. Well, Isaac's still carrying around all that shit that like was this game made in flash? It wasn't made in flash. Yeah, it's like at some point it was but not this version. Yeah, trappings remain. Yeah, Gunjan's a shit. Anybody who's interested in that kind of roguelike should check out Gunjan, particularly if they liked Isaac and apparently the last Isaac expansion like fucked that game up after both plus. Yeah, afterward plus specifically, I was talking to a friend of mine who put like a thousand hours into it and that it added a bunch of shit that like dilutes the pool and fucks up synergy like that. That sentiment was not out there when we were at least when I took a look at it when that came

out. Last I heard everyone is really hyped about it. So like, I guess the dust has settled and maybe we even did a video and yeah, yes, we did. Two years ago. But like, I guess the SMIs accept this out. Like, are you done? I'm done. I'm playing at home all time and I might scream but like, yeah, if I was to go in now, I'd want to be able to beat it on the on a go. But that shit has what gun you get is highly variable to the quality of your run. No, I meant I meant the gigs. Oh, no, you fucked up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That like the moment that's a dead horse. That's like the moment the first bat touched it, it just exploded into dust power. And now we're inhaling dead horses, ghosts comes up and you have a ghost bat and now we're fucking that spirit.

I feel like we're snorting in the dead, the dead horse power. The only it's all airborne. Now everyone's lifted up. You created the second gig and you have to live with that forever. But I do. But I would like to actually change that name on certain things, like if it's a fighting game, we could call it Second Impact or whatever. Yeah. Well, I mean, I mean, if it ever is called for like the obvious go to is Third Strike for anything. Yeah, Third Strike second. It'd be Third Strike, Fourth Strike, because we did that would be four times. I think we might have played it by then. Fourth fight, whatever. Or no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the fourth one would have to be the thing like the title wasn't Third Strikes, but like rumored to have like a fourth strike,

like five years ago by hyperactive children that wanted to lie so that their friends would think they were cool. The uncles at Nintendo, guys, those guys, those people, the other thing. And the one time that was real, that kid fucking got his uncle fired. Yeah. But yeah, the other thing that I put a little bit of time into just yesterday. I forget the particular board game. It's about fighting Cthulhu, but that's not important. That game's fun. It's cool. But I finally bit the bullet and decided to fuck around with tabletop simulator, which I have much to say other than that is the most fascinating thing I've ever seen on Steam. What'd you play with it? You play as a bunch of investigators fighting the Elder God. There's a doom counter at the top. So somebody will remember

the name Elder God Battle Rail. I don't know. Okay. But play that for about four or five hours. It works. And it is, it totally solves that problem. It's amazing. And then going down the Steam Workshop and just seeing people have made every single fucking board game ever to exist. And you can import pieces from other things, including custom pieces into whatever you want to play. So nothing can stop me from being Virgil. So when you have a hankering to play, Mouse Trap just load it up? It's probably in there. It's probably in there. I mean, there are physics, you know, like it's really well done. And I remember, okay, this could sound really stupid. So get ready, everyone. This could sound really stupid. I don't need to be ready. So you know

how on Woolly Versus there's a Kingdom Death Monsters video series in which Woolly played Kingdom Death Monsters with, what was it, Moth and some other? Moth, Brennan, and Fisto. Sorry, the Sultan of Sith. Right? Yeah, and Fisto. I remember thinking, boy, it's got to be really annoying for Woolly to record this and just like move everyone's pieces where they tell him to move it via camera feed. I thought you were recording. I didn't understand what was happening. And then they were telling you over Discord, no, move my piece here or whatever. Now that I'm going to assume you use tabletop simulator. I'm going to assume you didn't click on it once. No, why would I? Why would I click on the things of the people I see every day? Yeah, for sure. No, that's silly.

Yeah, that's fair. What's the last stream of mind you watch? I tune into some random fucking. That's bullshit. That's bullshit. That's bullshit. I didn't even finish. You came over our house. You didn't know there was a skeleton. I didn't even finish. I didn't even finish. I tuned into the random clips that people post of things. Okay, okay, let me finish. Okay, I clicked on. No, I didn't. Anyway, I clicked on that shit post you made with the Naruto run. That's the best thing on your channel. And that's it. Fucking table flipper is the flip button. Does that flip the table? Literally. Oh, that's cool. You didn't try it. You didn't risk it because we're playing a game for four hours and I'm looking and I'm like, you can save a state. Okay, and then flip it.

If you want to be an asshole, save a state. Oh, man. But yeah, that's that's great for the Yu-Gi-Oh people. It is. It is. Yeah. And I'm trying to I'm thinking I'm thinking of some some other stuff. But yes, man, tabletop simulator is is quite well thought out. People have been using it for a while now. Yeah, it did absolutely needed in this world of online and you are and you're looking at it at like a version of it, multiple iterations into the future from the original. So large was a little janky. They've worked out a lot of the kinks and it's come a long way. So probably like I look at it and I it's like an open platform now because of the Steam Workshop shit. And it's like there's no there's nothing to do to shut down like this

pirated digital board game. No. Say like if it's not officially supported. Yeah. Or like, okay, they pulled it down off the Steam Workshop, but I'm pretty sure you could just grab those files and host it on the Nexus, which is why it was it was like, you know, there's a little bit of like tongue-in-cheek to it. But it's like it was really cool that the official Kingdom Death thing even shouted us out because it's like, yay, you're telling people about this game, but this is not the actual live version of it due to logistical purposes. We couldn't use it, you know, but so it's very much like, but if you have to get everybody in a room, yeah, you're going to want the pieces because the pieces are nice and all that. And and Moth was

demoing some of the stuff you can you can do with with that where like some people had board games that were like boards loaded up that were just like maps from video games. So like full environments and island with trees and things like you can have elaborate crazy video gamey only board games in there and like moving animated pieces, probably, you know, there is a shocking amount of video game board games released in the 90s. Like there's a Street Fighter 2 board game that's insane in that you have to move around to get to the shadow, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, PG style battles of rolling the dice and like, but what I actually mean is like a board game that could only take place if it's not real. Yeah, Jumanji, if you would, but probably the biggest

deal for me is that when we set it up, like I'll pick your investigator Arkham whore, I think it was called Arkham. Yeah, that's and you put your investigator card on it and there's a little button that's a setup and you hit it and all the right cards and bonuses just fly out of fucking space and settle on your character and they're set up. It's like, Oh, thank God. Yeah. Once we know how to play this game. Yeah, just boop boop boop boop. Because when you're a kid or a gawky teenager and you bring out the board game, you'd find out who your real friends are, where if you turn around and you've opened up the board game, whoever remains in the room is a friend and whoever is like my mom's calling, right? Because they see all your bullshit on the ground.

The other then not to mention things like like deck organization stacks of things, rolling dice, you can do it the fun way or you can just do it like the amlazy right now and it just tosses it up and down on the spot. You know, like there's all little things that are just like, yeah, for ease of use, you don't want too much effort put into this and you can just like move the camera anywhere. And the one of the coolest things I saw was a VR update where you straight up can just sit at the table in VR and just cheat. Well, it's not cheating. It's just you're just you're just moving forward and clip and see if his cards cheat big time. No, you can't because the cards are literally you don't see anything. You can move the camera anywhere at any time.

But if you're playing a game where other people have cards like and you flip them, you're not going to see them because the game's like you can't. That's smart. Yeah. No Starcraft 64 multiplayer there. No thing. What a cool little physics engine. Absolutely turned into everything. Yeah, it feels like and without the without downloading custom maps and boards for it. There's still all a full thing of all the games you grew up recognizing, you know, like your fucking tic-tac toes and snakes and ladders and shit like that's all there. You know what else is really impressive about it is that the host was that like so we'll play Arkham Horror. The my friend downloads the the fucking workshop mod or whatever on his makes the map

and then we all just load in. We don't have to have it. It just loads in like a fucking custom map from Counter Strike. Yep. Takes like two minutes. And then all you do is right click on like custom things and just save them to your local thing. And now you have it too. That thing is awesome. Yes, it is. I will be using it again in the future. Play some cutthroat monopoly. Is there any other type? Well, I mean, you could you could lose fingers or you could not monopoly. There's yeah, there's yeah, there is one high scheme grand cinematic fucking monopoly as the McDonald's movie unplays. Holy shit at that story. I'll get into a little bit later. That's you. That's me. Okay, I'll tag in because board games board games is is a as a connecting baton. I'll

grab and say connecting tissues, grosser. Well, we need it though. Yeah, but it's a little grosser than baton and you slice it and then if you think your limbs just kind of fall up to you, you want to peel back the dank curtain from the connective tissue. Very edgy today. Oh man, very edge. The board games. There was for me a great board game I played this week. And that was at Con Bravo. So I headed down, like I said, in unofficial capacity, hung out with friends. It was good time. We notable, notable mentions to catching little females live on stage fucking rocking devil trigger. Nice was awesome. Hey, Capcom allow him to monetize that song again. How about it? Is that Capcom or is that the the band, the automatic it might be it might be a robot

like even though he went through the official channels to get it monetized, it just has demonetizing. Oh, I vividly remember like us going through official shit with Capcom and then getting content IDs. This is actually way different because Capcom is supposed to let you do this. Yeah. I started I started a mosh pit temporarily. Started a small mosh pit. Seconds. Yeah, it was a really it was a tiny little mosh but it went to just double larry it in a crowd and then say it's a mosh pit. No, I did. I did a bunch of urine tackles left and right. And it was fun. Magma jumped in black listed forever now. Also into the fucking Rashido as seen on Evo's grand finals last year cover as well. It was it was

a really fun little concert. And the performer who went up before him was playing a cover of the K.I. Jago theme live. And that was fun because doing the like the lyrics to Jago all the nonsense that you don't know. And no one and like no one knew them, but they were popping up on the screen next to you. So it's like, no, you can't know them. Literally coming up. Oh, yeah. It's the same lyrics, just more cookie monster provided for your karaoke needs right there on screen. So that was a fun part of Bravo. Also shout outs to Magma for so he gave you that art that art print Cody. He got me a limited edition blank a Chad. You can now shitpost to your heart's content. There are only a thousand of these. The toy is worse. Yoshinora,

Yoshinora. Oh, no. The toy is way worse. Yeah. So you can shitpost. It's still Blanca. But it's not as powerful. The story mode for Blanca and Street Fighter five has some making these little toys of himself and that troll costume you see is based on a thing that they made a limited edition of there's a thousand of these in the world. So I'm super happy. The best thing Blanca's had in years. Absolutely. That storyline. Absolutely. 100% so much better than Street Fighter. That is my favorite thing about Blanca. It's ever is the thing that you were just holding in your hand. It is the best thing about him. Yes. Because it's what if Blanca invented Domokun? You know, like Guile wore his Air Force uniform and got some shades. That's dope. You got a beard.

Blanca became Blancachan. Yeah. And even then, the beard and sunglasses thing is not really a story beat. Yeah. Well, the second best thing about him is hanging out with Charlie with his raison d'etre. Hanging out with Sakura and Dan as an odd couple trio. Blanca figured out how to turn his hideous deformity and awful appearance into money. That's three's company right there. There you go. And Sakura and Blanca. So yeah, thanks for that. And we did a little, little big band lab lab in back there. That was a fun time. But we played a board game called Loopy Lore. And I want to talk about it because it's a really fun thing that a cool fight of ours came by. And we talked to, I think, like the last Con Bravo about this game he was working on.

And I passed you along that bag. So what this is, is it's a really fun card game where basically you are putting out like you have a budget card. Some of them are location. Some of them are, yeah, so there's what is there? There's like settings. I want to say there's actions and characters sometimes or like descriptions of specific items and things like that. And you lay these all out. And what you do is in a group, you have a timer and basically you pick one, a one card that is a genre and one card that is a another aspect of the story, like a genre and then like a, you can have like musical sci-fi, for example, or something like that. And then the first person starts telling a story about that thing. And while the timer's

flipped, you have 60 seconds to go through and keep talking about whatever you're setting up here. And what you do is essentially the cards that you have are ordered in chapters. And this is like the horror chapter. This is the, no, no, no, no. If horror is the genre, right? Then chapter one is just the beginning of the story. So the beginning of the story, you flip it over and whatever you get, the first card you flip over, it says raincoat. So you're like, all right, I know this is a musical sci-fi. Let's start with a child with their raincoat skipping through the rain and then a spaceship comes down, right? And then you just, can you keep talking, right? And then after 60 seconds, the next player has to tag right in, flip it over

and flip their card, flip the card, and then basically take, continue the story from there with that prompt, you know? So you, and you kind of are working towards an end goal of like getting to an ending that you all established beforehand, right? So it's like kind of like a cooperative thing. However, in addition to just working through the rounds, how many people can play? Up to eight. Jesus. And in addition to working through the rounds, you are holding four cards that are effectively plot twists, aka combo breakers. So in the middle of you, in the middle of you saying anything, I fucking slap that timer down and I put a new thing on and it's like a fucking whatever plot twist that you have to keep talking. The kid's a ghost.

And now work that in to whatever the fuck you were about to say. Suddenly Sonic didn't ejaculate. He in fact threw 9,999 screaming ghosts out of his dick and now you have to deal with them. There's a version of the game that supports literally what you just said because you introduce pre-existing characters into a fan fiction setting. And like, and so you, and so you combo break people's stories as you go through it and then you can throw them off and whatnot, right? So yeah, it's just, it's a ton of fun. It's pretty much exactly that. And then different genres determine how the board is laid out to the point where if you want to just do a traditional like film, you have like, you can have four acts, you know, or, and then you just go through it and then you like, like

three acts and then a finale, right? But if you want to do like a Netflix series, you have literally episodes. So you have like 10 short rows of like, this happens in this episode and then that leads into this. If you're doing a Marvel show, everyone gets bored by the 10th episode. Sure. If you're doing 17, right? Or like that, you know, like one thing that he's working on is like, this is a Sentai action series. So, you know, you have way more action cards than like setting cards. And then you have like this is the normal things. And then the thing attacks and you know what I mean? Like, you know, the formula, it's like every, every, it's, it's only three cards in a row for Sentai and every single set up is the same. So there's a lot going on and it was a lot of fun to

play. And, uh, you know, they, they invited us to cut sit down and do a little demo of it. Had a great time with it. It's called loopy lore. And yeah, I think we're going to be seeing a lot more this soon because I had a really good time with it. And the fact that it's like, yeah, it's two to eight players. Because I heard about this on Twitter, but like this is this like a manufacturer game or is it just something that a guy is fooling around with? Both. It's, it's a guy, it's a thing that he's, that's being made. And he's like in the process of, I guess, like trying to get it out there. Okay. But like what we play, what we played was essentially like a kind of like a prototype deck. Because back in the day, we went to PAX East a while ago, there's the guys demoing like

they're, they're what they made of smack talk, Smackdown, the wrestling promo game. And they were like, Hey, check it out. I'm like, cool. This looks cool. And then much like two years later, they had their Kickstarter for it. And now I have that full deck and I've been, we need to play that for a while. The fucking tagline on the official website for loopy lore is just the world needs your fan fiction. There you go. Because, because like when, when the, the, uh, the guy originally came up to me to about, about it, like way back when he mentioned, he's like, the story was like, he's like, Hey, I'm working on a game, like a board game. It's called fan fiction simulator, you know? And I was kind of, and I was like, that thing simulator is on its last legs. It's

currently on the way out. And he's like, really? And I was like, yeah, you know, and he's like, okay, cheers. And so, but, but, but like there is, so it's called the regular lore now, but that is a thing where you can have every round introducing an established IP character for the fan fiction version of Adam Jensen was there. And then Sonic walks in with his gross balls and Shrek never asked for this. Like it's just that you do, you can, you can do that version, but it's a really fun game. Um, so that's, we have tons of update packs for that. Yes. And it's going to be over 300 cards to start with. So that's my huge plug for this very fun game. That I hope, uh, makes it further because I, I'm definitely going to be playing more forcing

people in our generation to ad lib fan fiction seems like it seems like the next natural step in evolution seems like a potential for great occasionally actually great stories. Well, it was hilarious because I was playing like with my girl and she like was just straight up like going like, okay, so her fears of doing anything creative because it's going to get judged immediately and just be like, Oh God, they're all going to think it's awful. Like she's like, that's literally a source of small anxiety. And so she's like, just even when it came to her turn and she's like, it just forces you out of your comfort zone, you know, and even it's in a small group of friends and you kind of have to get creative, but you have prompts to help kind of help you. You have

things in, you know, in place to put it together. So even if you're not the type of person that likes to grab the spotlight and the microphone and put yourself out there, like you can follow along with what was just said before you, you have a lot of help to get to the next point. Just make the story about neatly ordered cubes. Sure. And like, yeah, we had a fun one with lots of twists and turns. And I believe a photo was tweeted out with a summary of what our story was. So yeah, loopy lore. Played some more of Way of the Passive Fist. Yes, you did. Continuing to go through that, met the very actually literally made for you. The art team was at the con as well.

Yeah, Ontario. Exactly. And so, you know, got to shake their hands and go, you made something awesome, including that real arcade cabinet. And yeah, continuing to go through that. There's way more to that. Even then, like that initial quick look like doing the dodge on projectiles means catching them and throwing them back, right? I didn't even think and breaking the rhythm up of like parrying one thing, dodging another to do that. It's like there's a lot happening here. And the way you knock people down, like depending on where do you do the attack or the dash is a different as well. Like, it's super dope that game. We can't can't push it enough. It's it's 100%. What if you played Street Fighter III, took out all the offense, except for one

big punch? I mean, dude, like, like I said, it's like it's it's defensive mechanisms. It's my jam. When I heard about it years ago, and I was like, I can't let Willie know about this. And not to mention that it's like it's also a post-apocalyptic. No, Trigun. That's what we can say. Yes, it's very Trigun. Very mad. Like all of that, man wandering the desert, you know, there was a lot of time spent on buses and excuse me during that time. What was played or watched during buses? A whole lot of Hollow Knight. So did you figure out where you needed to go? Overcame that wall and then, you know, got the thing and went back to the areas I couldn't before, expanded the map another 33%

from where I was last time. And then that's just silly how many times you've come on the podcast and said that and led to enough update. I love upgrades for me to go back to those bosses I was having trouble with on that difficulty spike and crush them. Yeah. Um, now you've hit a wall. It's not a wall. No, it's just the simple fact that I'm like, there were a couple moments, especially when sometimes you hit a boss too early, and you don't know it's too early. Yeah. No, I can do it. It's not so infeasibly because you're like, I can just get good. And then like, many, many tries later, you're like, this is no, right? So you hit a wall.

But it's not, it's not to say that, but it was just, there was a couple of moments happening where I'm like, okay, I really wish this would get on with it. He hit a fence. I'm hitting an Okami of like, okay, guys, guys, guys, you know, and it's, it's still very fun. Oh, you mean a bad Okami, but you, but you have to, but like, this is also a story that's drip fed in a very souls ask way. And like, things are going and it's, it's, it is ramping up at an extremely slow pace. And it's kind of like, guys, so you're hitting us a wall, like it is the thought of the idea of the possibility that one might consider overstaying its welcome. Are you doing, I was talking to a friend of mine over the weekend.

Are you doing the, the, which ending do you, are you going? I don't know what that means. So there's an ending where you just beat the game and then there's the, I don't, where you complete a bunch of stuff and then I'm just playing the video game and seeing what happens. And that's another thing that I'm sure you don't have an answer for, but I've asked you before, it's like, are you playing a version that has DLC integrated into? I have no idea. That's, but that's actually important to know. And I will say this might be doing DLC that is possible in the flow. There's definitely options. There's definitely the optional bosses left and right that I'm choosing to encounter. There's, there is one thing that I will say is

that it is a God. It was about the DLC thing. It was a fuck. It just, it totally just slipped out of my brain. Sorry. But, but like, yeah, it's, it's, it is a feeling of like, you know, like movement is happening that, that, that things get, but like every time, like now, like a lot of new zones are just kind of like, holy fuck. Okay. Wow. We're, this is, and then here's the thing at this point, if this wasn't live, this were going like, I'm at like, I think hour 32 on this, you know, um, like Metroidvania, like Souls esque map thing. Some save points, they're spaced really nicely, but sometimes it's a, it's more, it's not a nice sprint back to that boss. Sometimes it's not a smooth sprint back to the boss. It's not. Other times it's much more

forgiving. Um, but yeah, man, I mean, I'm still, it's still fantastic and I'm still recommending it, but I like, I can't give a final, final verdict until I actually hit this fucking end credits. And I'm just like, holy shit, game, game though, game, game, where, what, what, you know? And maybe, maybe that's what I just remembered. That's what, sorry, what I forgot to remember is that, um, the fact that I'm playing this without any external, like information advice out, like I'm just playing it as if this were me as a kid in Grenada, but you know what I mean? Like, like no outside anything. I'm just doing it. Uh, there probably is a lot of ways to streamline things and whatnot. If you have the information coming at you, I worry that there is like a thing

that somebody's going to tell you after you beat the game and they're going to go, Oh, you know, Hey, how'd you like that feature? And you go, huh? And it turns out that that thing that you could have bought from that hidden guy would have cut like five hours down. I just got that. Oh, literally. Oh, the last thing I did was acquire what you just said. And it is, could you have acquired it far earlier? Uh, by farming and grinding for a certain type of currency that is, you have to discover. Okay. Okay. Right. There's a couple of areas where you're like, I kind of know where to get this thing, but literally you have to like, you kind of have to just play and encounter a special type of currency. And when you get a high, high number of that currency,

you get the, the time saver. Got it. Um, and holy shit, it's going to now trivialize a lot of the time wasted, but it took 30 hours to get to that point. So, you know, um, right. So we're going to see, we're going to see what I end up with, but I'm very curious to see like what, after I finish it, now I want to look back and go, okay, what did I miss? What did I not discover? What was obvious? What wasn't to just see what it's like to like play one of these games without any, any, any outside, you know, no outside, no outside. Um, and I do feel that like I'm hoping the DLC will have made itself obvious when I do encounter it. But for now, I don't know if I'm fighting backer bosses or not. Like, you know what I mean? Like,

there's, there's moments where it's just unclear. So watch like you enter a room and Zubaz drops down. You're like, man, did you do this? I'm like, no, but I didn't. There's these bosses that I am fighting that are different from the regular ones that I make me think they are backer bosses. You know, like they're more simpler in their patterns, but they have a, I'll go one gimmick thing and they're kind of ghosts here. So I assume that those are some sort of like backer thing, but in any case, um, yeah, the, the verdict will be determined when it's fucking determined. Jury's been out for a long time. I'll get back to you when I get back. Why is it that listening to you talk about this makes me want to go back and give Neo another shot? I think it's because Neo's

crazy long. Neo and Neo, it's not only that crazy long, but it's also a rabbit hole of features and every deal they had was just like, Hey, here's another game. Yeah. Yeah. You can get lost to Neo for another fucking God knows how many hours. I bounced off it three times. I'll get another shot. Yeah. It'll be, it'll be waiting. That's me. I played a bunch of Megaman X over the weekend cause the little legacy collection. Oh, sorry. Sorry. I just wanted to, I wanted to just, I get one interruption of your week next. Absolutely. All right. But this is a good one. Don't worry. You'll take it because it's about, it's about handsome John, aka I patch Wolf. Yes. And the fact that character creator slot default number two. Indeed. He made his way over and we

continued our feud at the awesome event that was the drunken art power hour with a Lehman star. And that was a good time. So always nice to see a friendly faced, even though his tastes are shit. And then we got drunk afterwards and just had, had it out. You took them out, sitting at a table, and it was just like, like everyone was there, but him, me and little V just going in on like what it means to tell a story, what stories are worth telling, rehashing. That sounds like drunk talk. It went in because effectively his version of things was almost like, like anything that comes out that is like safe and good, but not challenging anything is not worth your time. Right. So I was, and then, and like, so like something like super eight or a stranger things shouldn't exist. Why

bother? And it's like, it's not challenging anything. It's just doing what we know, but it's doing it well. And it was, it was a really great in depth discussion. That's what I patch was saying. Yeah. That would explain why he hates hero academia. Exactly. That's where it started. And then, and then I was like, okay, let's talk about Gravity Falls and a whole, it was, it was great. It was great. So love that dude. I hate that dude. I know. Go on. Sorry. I don't understand like, but like, the thing that's super population. It's the absolute height of like, too much into a topic where you become like a mega hipster. It's like, if this thing isn't challenging, like a perceptions of the medium. He said, he was sitting at the table with the,

with the sign that says change my mind. And little B and I tried to, you know, and his panel was welcomed. There you go. But yeah, no, to get back to the Mega Man's X's. I gave Capcom a little bit of guff for like, again, separating these into two $40 releases. Because I still think it's ridiculous considering the PS2 got like all of them. But anyway, I bought the first one. Whoa, Willie's chair. Always Willie's chair. My chair squeaks. His chair falls apart. I've had this chair for like five years. I don't know why it's made out of fucking like titanium vibranium. Yeah. Mega Man X is, is a weird thing playing getting to play them again all like in a row or whatever because because X six is terrible. So I have, I didn't get the

second legacy collection. So I haven't, I've never actually played six. Oh man. Oh, there's, and there's some tweets showing off some good old dumb shit of, of the non Super Nintendo games. I've only played four and five. I've never played seven or eight. Are we up to eight? Four is great. Five, six. X has gone up to X eight. But playing them now, at least the Super Nintendo one's a bit like I like kind of like, where do you stand on the Super Nintendo ones? What's, what's X is the shit. Yeah. X two is fine. X two X three is less lesser. I was always like, yeah, X one, man. But you know, actually now I think I prefer X two. So for one simple reason is just because levels are a lot more interesting when there's always something like an X one arm and armadillo stage

is really cool and different because you're on the little thing and then you get the right armors in one or two other stages. But they're all kind of very similar. So this is a really two. Oh, every single level has a weird fun gimmick that separates them a little better. And that's it. That's the only reason it's, it's a really hard thing because to me, I think X is special to me because of like the first time experience, the music, those moments of like stage slowdown that you just love. Dude, it's just so good. Zero for the first time. But I spent more time with X two because that's the that's the one I had a physical copy of. And that's a better game. Right. So that's the thing is I wouldn't I'm going to put this

in a weird place where I'm like X two is the better game cooler between Dragon Punch and Dragon Punch, Dragon Punch, Dragon Punch, especially when you do it on the fucking moth and destroy him. Yeah. Absolutely. You can't do that. Yeah. Because I thought it was like, oh, yeah, once you get, I didn't get it yet. But I was like, oh, yeah, you can go one shot is like Morph moth is the only character you can't one shot because he has two forms. And I forgot about no, you do it on the first form. Yeah. Yeah. But then he goes into the second. Yes, right away. Yeah. And I'll just put that blew my mind because I'm like, there's a there's a boss with two forms. Yeah. Just a regular robot master with two forms. And if you're I mean, if you're good enough, you can line that

a second time. Yeah. But but yes, no, absolutely. Like that's the thing. And it also like air like air dashing and fucking two. Yeah. And and the final phase charge up that X buster that you get is different. Like there's so much cool shit. What wasn't also fucking crash also only introduced into like the full the fucking like the charge up and explode the whole and blow the whole screen up. I haven't I haven't gotten everything. It's like it's it's it's a yeah, I want to say that's only next to as well. We're like like X floats into the air and goes and dragon balls the screen and destroys everything. I think of a PlayStation version. I say that giga attack. Yeah, it was fucking cool. X two is the better game. X means more nostalgically on this collection is really

good because dig a crush dig a crush crush. This collection is really good, though, because it's made by I think it's the same group that made the Street Fire anniversary collection. But like it has like three really good filters where wow, well, I jealous of your time. That's all watch. He distracts the viewer with your way. You can keep talking. Oh, no, I want to see what happens. Who knows what will happen. Alan Key is out, folks. Alan Key is doing his work, Matt. You see Max talking to that guy on Twitter where guys is only have money for one of the collections. Which should I get the first or the second collection one for God's sakes. Why would that I feel like that's why they did it like that so

they could save people from the the later half. Yeah. But on on this collection has like three filters and has a bunch of backgrounds and much like the Street Fighter anniversary collection I was talking about all these backgrounds are a little too busy for me. But fortunately for those special wow for those special that special mode where you're fighting two bosses at the same time, they have they have their own artwork that's just a simple blueish like like armor design and it's perfect. So I play with the TV filter on. They have a bad SNK style filter to try to smooth out the pixels. Stop it. It's horrible. And then they have one with like no filters at all. That one's a little rough. But that's my preferred way of

playing it. And like for X one, I beat the game got every power up except for like one heart like container to increase my health. I'd be in every boss on X two. But that's where I stopped so far. Flame Stag is so cool. Flame Stag is very cool. Is he as cool as wire sponge by most hated at least the first three games. I forgot how three has some cool guys cool guys. But then it's okay. Gravity Beetle right? Gravity Beetle gives you the fucking thing. And then you use it on the mosquito. What's the mosquito called? Mosquito the mosquito in X three. Anyway, I forget you use gravity be toxic seahorse in X three, but you just shoot them. It's just a boss that's just like you shoot the weapon and it just it hurts the whole screen. It was almost like a

non fight wire sponges move is cool. It's like a fucking chain. Right. So I'm really enjoying them. I played X four for more than I ever have. And like I will not like these will always be even though technically they're better. They're always inferior games to the first three, just because I find the sprite work more gaudy. Like there's much more going on there needs to be the music I don't find as good. I hate all the story. I hate all the voice acting like it gets in the way. It actually hurts the experience. The story for also has a special part for being like a magma dragoon. It's so fucking cool. Magma dragoon and the jump up into a new aesthetic. Right. The warning, warning, warning. Right. And I like it is is burned into my heart. Yeah. Right.

Right. I absolutely love when you go into any boss fight and it's like get fucking ready. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then and the you know, the the newer version of the the boss theme, the you know, he destroyed Steve Irwin and escaped into the sea jet stingray. And you know, like all of that just became the new like aesthetic for X bits of it. I like and then there's other bits where I'm like no, I prefer it in the suit and turn against time to get serious. And I like it's not over yet. And I like in X for how it's like, yeah, you basically get street fighter special move commands rather than just a blaster or whatever that's neat. But the one thing I really want to talk about is that on those extras museum disc, there's like, watch the fall or the rise of sigma. And

I'm like, what the fuck is this? You've never seen that? I've never seen it before because it's only Maverick hunter, which I never played it's it's pretty good. An anime. That's pretty good. Shockingly. Of what? Sorry. It's an anime that was on the Maverick, the PSP. Oh, they have sigma day of Sigma, you'll never see it. Never seen it. Oh, super good. Yeah. I was surprised. It sets up it's taking a bad voice act. I'm like, no, the voice. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, but it's so pink ones hanging out being normal. He's just he's just a penguin. Mm hmm. Yeah, yeah, day of Sigma was important. And it fucking sucked that that game was not better, man, because it got the treatment and the money and stuff that I never played it. But I always heard people be

like, it's yeah, and then you got to move once and you're like, so Mega Man, Mega Man or Rockman, Rockman, Mega Man, powered up, whatever you want to fucking call it, had it was was a way better game. You know, I did. Yeah, it was it was it was it was cutesy and whatnot. But like it felt fun. It was it was all right. It was, you know, redoing Mega Man one, which had its own problems, quite frankly. But X fucking everything was worse. Like you can't it didn't feel even remotely close. That it didn't need a whole lot of fixing. It didn't need a whole lot of fixing. So a whole 3D thing just felt worse, whereas powered up felt better. And the music remixes were inferior. I remember thinking and that's dangerous when you're playing X playing it on the PSP and like,

oh man, this doesn't it's because I'm just playing on a PSP. And I went to the trouble of just hooking it up through the TV out stuff. It's like, yeah, it'll be it'll be fine. It'll be fine when I play it with a controller. But for me, yeah, no, no. And the thing and just music wise, it's like, okay, main menu theme, first stage screen, and then Storm Eagle, neither of these are superior to the originals were fucking done here. So why'd you make them? Speaking of Storm Eagle in the day of Sigma when Storm Eagle wants it, he's like, Hey, X, how does it go? And I'm like, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. Because when you talk to a boss, a Mega Man, I almost always in my head thought they're communicating wirelessly, like they're sending text to each other. I never thought I

never thought they're speaking in voices because I just Oh, no, they totally were. Yeah, no, they totally were a bit like, yeah, it was just so weird. And in this museum thing, they have full character bios and I've never, if these are printed somewhere else, instruction mails, I've never seen them. But it gives every boss their own reason for why did you join up for Sigma? You didn't have an actual thing wrong with you. What happened? And Storm Eagle was like, I'm going to get fucking killed by them. I might as well join up, but I don't want to. And it makes them are really cool. And it makes their stages make sense in some cases to like view they were in charge of this the facility in the day of Sigma. Zero, I think asked like a Storm Eagle,

like, Hey, weren't you doing a like a guard duty tour of that ship of the airship? And he's like, Oh, yeah, I'm on leave for a little bit. So I don't have to do it. What was the fucking cool? I always for it bugs me every time. But the X hunters in X two. Yeah. Serge agile violin, violin. Yeah, I always forget violin because vile exists. Yes. And God damn it. And in the day of Sigma, you see them carrying fucking vile. And he's like, I'll get all those refloids or Mavericks one day. And the one thing that that fucking Maverick Hunter X did introduce was playable vile for the first time. So that's the one thing worth it in that game is go play it to get fucking playable vile because his power the way the powers he gets from bosses and stuff. It's completely

different. I didn't spend long enough to actually play as him. You get a completely different experience off of that. And like, it's different shoulder gun types. You know, and like he's so cool. He's just heavy duty. Yeah, that's the one thing that's worth it. And because in X one, maybe again, if you read the instruction manual, it's been like what 20 years since I've read it or whatever. I never I just thought vile is just some asshole, which it basically is. But they're like, he's a Maverick Hunter that hates Mavericks, but was so extreme that they're like yours. You hate Mavericks so much that I think you're going to be a Maverick soon. Yes. Let's just lock you up. Yes. And he just escapes when Sigma creates the revolt. And that's it. Okay. I never knew that's

what he was. So are you enjoying that story? Yes. If you read the Archie comics, dude, right. Remember when I came in and I talked about the Sonic? Yeah. Yeah. It's not the Archie comics. Damn. Okay. It's not the it's the but it's the Sonic the Sonic the Sonic series or whatever, like our comics, like they had a Mega Man X short run. Okay. Right. Because it's all under the same fucking publishing whatever that Mega Man X short introduces like all of that with vile, uh, Sigma X and zero, like out as a unit for Kings do and work. And you get to see the differences between their philosophies and how that applies to what they become and so on. And you know, like vile is obviously like taking shit out while not really being too concerned for the collateral

damage. Yeah. And you know, and like Sigma is like, no, no, vile, you can't do that. I kind of like though, you know, day of Sigma X is trying to shoot like this rampaging like a Mecca bot or whatever. And he's got like one of his compatriots holding him and X is like, I can't maybe. And then like Sigma just shoots and it shoots through the guy's arm, but his arm is gone. It'll be fine. And he's like X. Mathematically, you would not have missed that shot. Right. You have to be decisive. Don't worry. I wouldn't have killed that compatriot. Vile probably would have maybe didn't do that. But like it even makes fucking sense with that. Remember that first giant boss you fight? Yeah. Yeah. Like that thing has its has its weird like round design and whatnot,

because it's found as a remnant of like Wiley's old creations. It does not feel like literally. Yeah, I guess it is the Archie comics, whatever my mistake, but like the but like the like old Mega Man fights that thing at some point in time. Yeah. And it gets buried. And then they leave it alone. So they go dig digging for like like whatever. And then like they find that first boss and fight it. And it's like a connecting thing. Like it's really cool. And plus with that manga we talked about the udans bringing over from last week's podcast that bridges between X one next to now I'm like, I'm all in. I just want to side story with more iris dialogue. Yeah, that's all I want. But no, though. Yeah. Remember, though, that the translation

of the X and the USA when zero says don't die on me X. That was the original Japanese line, but it gets translated into even your spite at this nameless person that you keep bringing back up for some reason is fading with your exhaustion. It's because because you know how you know how like he was on a quest to make everyone hate Castlevania. I've not seen that person like 10 years, but I'm just saying like like it's like one of the things are like that one person can almost ruin a franchise for you. Like Mega Man X is hard to ruin. But boy, Castlevania is hard to ruin and he sure made me fucking dislike Rhondo. Came close. Came close. You know, so anyway, sake on the road. Oh, fuck. Yeah, Mojo was a fuck off demon castle. Aside from Mega Man X,

I watched a mission possible fall out. And I was like kind of, I don't know, Rogue Nation was pretty good, not as good as not as good as as fun as Ghost Protocol. The Rogue Nation is pretty good. And this is the this director is returning for this. And I was like, well, 98% of round tomatoes is pretty high. So I guess I'll go see it. Henry Cavals, mustache demands to be seen. Do we understand why he's reloading his fists and why that's a meme now? Oh, have you not looked at that thing very closely? His pocket appears. No, it's good. No, he grows more facial hair when the fists bump. Oh, facial hair just jumps onto his face. He gains like he goes from like a three day old beard to like a 10 day old beard, because it's different

shots that were composited together over months. Yeah, because Oh, what? I didn't notice that at all. Here's like this is the part I miss in the story. Why was the mustache in Justice League? Because Henry Caval was doing another movie and they needed to do fucking reshoots for Justice League. But why? Because filming was delayed three months on Mission Impossible, because Tom Cruise broke his foot doing one of his own stunts. So they had to delay that three months. And then that bled over into the reshoots for Justice League. So it's kind of Tom Cruise's foot breaking is the fault for the CGI mustache out in Justice League. So it's just a bad like shoot moment back at the shot when he, it's Henry Caval walking towards a thing and you only notice it when you're looking

at like animated GIFs at Luke. But he puts his dukes up and he pumps his fists. Yeah. His shirt goes from clean to ruffled. His pocket appears. I did see that. Facial hair doubles or triples on his face. I didn't notice that. Wow. Okay. It is very clearly two shots that were composited together from like weeks apart at least. Okay. It's wild. None of those memes got that out there. I missed that part of it. Holy. Yeah. Go look at it now. It's crazy. In general, though, I actually walked away really, really liking this one. It might be a bit better. There it is. It might be a bit better than Ghost Protocol because Ghost Protocol, as fun as that is, is very jokey. A little too jokey for like Mission Impossible. I don't know. Even if you have Simon Pegg in your movie, like this

one has some moments of levity, but mostly it's a pretty serious story. Well, you're talking about combo breakers before. I won't go into specifics, but there's a scene where a guy goes, here's a situation. This is what's going to happen. And someone's like, combo breaker. And then as they're saying it, they go, counter breaker. And then someone's like, someone over there goes, a TV turns on with someone on. They go, Keke, Keke, counter breaker. And I was like, this is on the second counter breaker. I was like, I saw all this coming, but I didn't see the third or fourth counter breakers coming. Oh my God. God like. It was awesome. I mean, I remember the explosion one where the explosion pushes to pushes him forward. And then another explosion is like,

combo breaker and sends them sideways. Because I've only seen like two. Because I have seen half of all of them. And I've skipped each, like I missed one and two, and then didn't see three and then saw four and didn't see five. I really should catch up. Those moves are fun. They're strangely really consistently good. I mean, two, but it's got a little biscuit in it. So what can I compare the TV turning on should be a shadow counter? It should have been. But yeah, and overall, I really, really, really enjoyed it. There are some things towards the end, like some bad CG with just a rock. Like there was a CG rock that almost ruined the last scene. Oh yeah. The CG was so bad. Oh yeah. Rock crumbling. I'm

just like, Oh, I thought you were talking about like the scorpion king. No, I thought he was talking about Gorm. Oh, the rock, right. A CG rock that almost ruined the whole thing at the end. There's a rock. Oh, this is like Tom Cruise is just like, he turns around. The mummy. That's true. Man, the CGI rock coming out is really bad. No, but the part where Brandon, what's his name? Brandon, Brandon Frazier stabs the rock and then Amotep runs in and goes to nothing because there's nothing there for him and he's not looking at anything. He just runs in from stage left. Oh man, that part is bad. But yeah, I really enjoyed it. And it was also like, you know what's what's good not to do? You know how we will we say established?

Yes. Love it. You can't beat how Ghost Protocol establishes every new country. Never. It's got them. It's got like, like a theme of Zangief when they go to Russia. You know, when they go to Dubai, they have the most amazing shot of the city and they have like a camel on the thing. So this movie smartly goes, you know what, let's be in England and France, and let's just call it a day. Let's just have a very European adventure and that's it. And that's like smart because if you keep, I can't remember if Rogue Nation did this or whatever, but it's just better not to repeat that because you're not going to beat it. So over the top and like fighting gamey that it's just like, I'm glad you didn't. But yeah, I highly, highly recommend it. It was,

it's probably one of the better movies I've seen like the entire summer so far. So. Whoa. Yeah. Someone was saying something along the lines of like Tom Cruise is one of the few things in life Tom Cruise still enjoys is doing ridiculous stunts. So that's why he'll always come back with a new mission impossible. Yeah. Can you think up fun stunts for me to do? Because it's an excuse to get his adrenaline fix. Yeah. Because human coupling doesn't do it anymore. Being the, being the space pope doesn't do it. Yeah. Let's take a quick word from our sponsors. This week, the friend cast is sponsored by Rocket League.

There's quite a few items. We went from it being a slow news week to it being a packed one. So let's start off with the fact that we got the new trailer for Castlevania series two. Looks cool. I should fucking get on this. Yeah, me too. I found the same thing. It will not take you long because the first part's only four episodes. It's like it's a movie. You can kind of piece it together. I'm glad that this is more. This is

eight episodes this new season. Oh, nice. I didn't catch that. Okay. Wasn't it? Didn't this also win some sort of awards or something on those lines? I just love how simple it is. The animation is really, really tight. A lot of vibes of D. I feel like I get from watching this stuff. I feel like I'm watching what D would have become if it continued going as a franchise. Why does Dracula need such a huge place to live? This is an asshole. Dude, look at Dracula's design in this and tell me it's not like just take D's Dracula, but also the traditional Dracula from Castlevania. I just love how simple the plot is in these things where it's just like Dracula's evil. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My link. Let's go get him. He's got to get got. Does he do his spells that his

tradition, his trademark spells? Who? Do you walk metamorphosis? No. And the first thing he doesn't. I don't obviously don't know about this. Damn. Okay. Well, yeah, that's super dope. Yay for that coming out on October 26th. You might, you might, both you might want to wait until this is out and then watch the first one because if you get more, because when the last episode of the first run finishes, it's really unsatisfying. Oh, it's a cliffhanger. Yeah, it's cliffhangers. You want to wait. Oh yeah. Perfect. Okay. Thank you. That's the only like real negative. Yeah. Yeah. No, this is straight up Castlevania III. We're looking at here. It's just Alucard, Trevor, Cypher and and the first series was which who was that? Same. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Man, that's so cool. It's so cool that this exists. Yeah. I say as not the biggest Castlevania fan. It's super cool. When game trailers did the retrospective when game trailers was doing that back in the day, they mentioned this being made. That's how long it that's ancient, man. God, how long ago was that? They want to make a CG or animated Castlevania movie based on Dracula's Curse. That was back then. Okay. And now it's morphed into like Netflix is now a thing. And now let's, you know, so this next one's more just kind of like talking points, but the kill a kill game, if they kind of worked out what the what the system is going to be like a little bit. And you know, as you can expect, it's a fighting game, but it's a simplified fighting game in the

sense that there is one button for up close attacks. An anime brawler. Exactly. So there's tilts, but ultimately it's a it's not a full on complex fighting system. That's not necessarily because of death. That being said, what they're doing is a bit of a poke end thing in the sense that so you have moves that you have attacking, you have a there's two weapon trying there's two attack triangles to this game that they kind of break apart. So yeah, you have the blow, which is your normal attack. Then you have a guard break and then a guard that, you know, creates one sort of rock, paper, scissors, but then you also have a dodge, an attack, and then I assume a throw, right, a read evades exactly. And like those. So you have like these

two basic rock, paper, scissors elements of gameplay. So, you know, that's fine and dandy. But what actually is fun about this is the conversation system. Yeah. Yeah. Introduced as what is it? Yeah. Ketsui, Hyoumei, and Zetsu. So speech of expressed determination is a system that reproduces the conversation scenes with enemies while fighting scene in the anime. During battle, you land one with L1 plus R1. And essentially you're doing clashes in injustice. And if you win or tie, you increase your level with the firmness of your statement. And it gives you buffs, right? So speed and so on as you continue to fight. And the screenshots that they show you here are like the two characters having a shouting match. So you're seeing

Satsuki and Ryuko. Thank you. Having a rock, paper, scissors conversation triangle in the middle of battle. And you're just having to shout each other down with the appropriate responses. So I'm thinking insult sword fighting from Monkey Island in the middle of a fighting game to buff yourself. So that's a fun thing because it's an aspect of the anime that I didn't really think of as a unique one, but it happens a fuck ton. I was like, when I looked at this, I was like, oh, that'd be cool if they put that in the Hero Academia fighting game. And then I went, that doesn't make any sense because very few of the Heroes or Villains in Aka are like witty. Yeah. No. Like what would Deku yell? I'm going to get you without shattering my bones this time.

Whereas every single fight, bar none in Kill a Kill is about a battle of ideals. Yeah. Every single one. So this is the perfect thing for it. So that's fun. That's a really well thought out thing. I like that. And I like to see if you choose the person who goes on the offense, are the answers going to be appropriate matches? Because I hope that you say the lame thing. And it's like, no, of course, I wouldn't counter that. Unless they tried, it's serious, and your lame thing was so lame that it made them look stupid. Humans are pigs in human, your pigs in human clothing or whatever. And then you go oink, oink, and they're like, what? Yeah. And then you win the clash. No. That's a firm statement, oink, oink. We have no clothing.

That's why we choose nude beach. That's why our costumes are basically making us naked. So with a relatively simplified attack system and button system, I'm hoping for the whole roster. Yeah. I hope so too. I mean, again, I feel like we're looking at a poke-in style system. So still disappointed we didn't get that full roster in poke-in. You're not full roster. That's right. I mean, at that point, you just make it open source. Yeah. This is not so much a story as much as it is a segue. How do we dig further? How do you dig further with a shovel? So when it comes to Naruto fighting game names, oh god, I saw the worst. This is the worst ever. I always had a special place in my heart for

Naruto Metiro. Yeah. As you would. And Road to Boruto was always a fun one. We're now going into Naruto Cross Boruto. Boruticale generations announced for your PC browser, folks. We're just. That's not even close to being a word ever. It's just as bad as it's ever been. Is it Boruticale? Yeah, I think so. Boruticale. I think it's supposed to be like Radicale. But it's not Radicale. It's Boruticale. It's Boruticale. Boruticale. Yeah. That's like some. But it's Bolt. So it's Bolticale. That is some shit that young Enzo would yell in like season one of reboot. Boruticale. Boruticale. Alphanumeric. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Moving on. Shoutouts to Tweets that show off the adult Naruto in Sasuke fighting something and it being

high budget Sakuga. That was that was a that was money. Yeah, it was. But whatever. I see it. Like, I'm like, what is he fighting? Who cares? Oh, he can do that now? What? You know what, you know what Naruto is? It's that cute goat that you slap out of the way for the cuter hero Aka goat. I'll eventually reach those heights as I'm crawling this this fucking snake eater ladder. Uh, we have new gameplay of Sekiro. Oh, shit. I completely miss this. And where is it? I see a lot of bullet. I see a lot of bullet points. I think it's just a preview. I think I saw this article pop up somewhere else. I think it's just they saw it. Oh, fuck. Okay. Wow. We'll kill that. Yeah, it was shown at a show. Look at it. Was there no actual alternate

later? Was it just the description of it? Let me just confirm for sure, for sure. That's the same article. Oh, yeah. Damn. Okay. My mistake. Well, like it's it's describing the article still values describing what it is rather than like, we can't see it was shown at some. Okay, well, no video, but it describes a duel and some mechanics that they did see in the video. There's a lot of stealth weapon changing. I go read the whole article. You can go over to Silicon era. Yes. It's there's quite a few things, but hopefully that video will pop up soon. If it's Activision, I wonder if they have like those highly produced like gameplay tours. Oh, Matt, you see that the doom footage is

going to get shown in like 10 days. Yeah, no, I did because they thankfully said that really, really early that we're going to live stream the whole thing. Yeah, only to quake on attendees, though, we're going to live stream it to only people in the arena. That's right. That's right. God, they'll manage. We'll contain the Wi Fi signal. The weekly switch announcements, keep on coming. This time it's a game called raised and it looks like a nice speed running fucking woolly aesthetic announced for the woolly's brain platform. It's intense. Bright colors and geometry. Well, it not not. I mean, it has speed running. Yeah. Well, to be fair, this is so there's a lot going on here that is kind of like what is the game with the girl that runs on the walls and stuff

mirrors edge cloud built. Thank you. Super cloud built. Yeah, the thing is, but mirrors edge is a real world, you know, super cloud built is like a crazy fake glowy world. She's in some fantasy world and raised is very much like that with hazards and bullshit in the way as you try to run to the edge and the world disappearing behind you and in front of you as you run. So yeah, man, this shit looks really cool. R A ZED and raised. You can check this out on when's the date that it drops September 15. You saw it there. Yeah, perfect. October 15. Well, there's there's one, I think the steam version seven September 15. It says that at the end of that trailer. Okay, so then the switch version is coming out a month later then. Yeah. Um, it has to go to the wonderful

not variable marketplace that is steam first. See how it does. Hopefully it's not a crypto minor. There is. R E two's got its announcement for its collector's edition that's super not worth it at all and a bunch of shit that's involved in this big box. Boy is it not worth it at all. Like it's well, it's a nice box. The box. The nicest part of it is the box, like literally the box that this shit comes in. But the rest of it is stupid rpd blueprints who gives a shit. See our book. Sure. Leon statue. Sure. Preorder it to get the goddamn soundtrack 200 bucks. That's ridiculous. If that statue is not like super decent quality, it looks good from here, but but you know the problem with that. What you get is a fucking dollar store. Then you get

then you get Ryu and Viper from the fighter for the kind that melt in the heat so that their ankles bend down, fall forward, pre melted and then put it in your box. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, but if you do try and ship like a really nice figure, like there was a Shiva figurine, I think for FF 14 that got sent out, it was quite high quality. Like most people got them like smashed a bit in the mail. They have to be and a bunch of DLC costumes for the game itself. Yeah, it was a walker. Samurai Edge Albert model as a weapon. Yeah, it's just. Yeah, it is a nice box though. Yeah, it is. Is that actually like steel casing or is it just cardboard with although for 200 bucks, it better be. No. Yeah. Well, dude, the devil may cry pizza box. Listen,

no, here's here's the thing though. Like this is a big collectors edition and all that the actual most important thing, which is currently unfortunately only pre order is the original game soundtrack as an option for every room in the game. And that's a pre order thing that feature is 100 times better than all these little toys and stickers. So that's what they're pushing. There is also brand new hot off the presses as of this morning for some God known unknown reason, uppers from beyond the grave has been rated for PS4 name uppers beyond the grave from in Australia. And this was the game PS4 in Australia. Yeah. So if you remember,

which a lot of you probably don't because this was a one off way back in the day. We all got hype. Liam and I remember especially got hype because yeah, the studio behind center and Kagura basically made this beat them up with men and land and died doji died doji. I forgot. Died doji's in there too. And yeah, this whole thing is about like getting into fights and like it's almost as if like imagine Babylon Club from fight for New York, except it's a bunch of schoolgirls on the outside watching the fight getting turned on their hugs and adoration buff you. Yep. And if you get pushed and you might get pushed into someone's cleavage and go and get ball fired up and fight harder. And this got so few pre orders in Japan that they just straight

up. Wasn't there an exact number like 2000? I thought it was like, yeah, it was an exact number that we had that was so low to go. And anyway, yeah, it was such an embarrassing thing as they were going to have plans to import it to localize it. And then they just canceled them immediately once the period of numbers in Japan came in. Yeah, pretty embarrassing. But um, so this kind of this getting a shot again on PS4, like I'm really happy and excited to see that it is. And I'm a fan of the art style because hero Aki of KOF 11 fame was behind a lot of the character designs. So it's super worth it. You can go check out the video we played of it and to see what it's like. But yeah, I hope uppers becomes a real thing. That'd be fucking great.

Really excited for that because it sounds like it's like what a waste of an effort. Like the audience of Senran Kagura, they buy one thing Senran Kagura. Yeah. Um, you've seen Daidoji and uppers, Pat? I don't know what that is. She's she's ban show woman. She's fucking awesome. I'll show you. Daidoji is Jotaro as a girl with a burning fist. Cool. God got it. Got it. Good. Uh, make anything cool. Yeah, no worries. It's Jotaro with blank and blank. So yes, Insomniac Spider-Man has gone gold. Yay. But more importantly, the image they released. Shut up. So there's no, I'm sorry podcast. There's no way to really convey this in audio form. You have to go to Twitter and go to Insomniac Games like account and take a look at what they did. Or just go to

Destructo. It's article about Spider-Man going gold and they just talk about this image. But they essentially recreated the awesome 70s Spider-Man sitting behind the desk at a height that makes no sense image with the image gone. It's fucking fantastic. It's a pure visual. So please go check out Insomniac Games like so about a day. I feel like that one more. I'm sure God of War was not the start, but I feel like it was the big impetus of use your fucking video assets to just create dumb memes on Twitter. Yeah, is now going to be a thing. Yeah. Yeah. So no, you know what Naughty Dog did it with fucking Joel and the bandarist thing for yeah, because if you jump if you if you had them off at the pass by making your own high quality

memes first with assets that they can't possibly have access to at the time, then everyone's going to have to use that. So Insomniac Spider-Man sitting at the desk, go check it out. Kratos throwing that fucking computer out got a lot of use. And of course, Atreus going thumbs up. Yeah. Good shit. This is the new age. Welcome to the new age to the new age. Welcome to the this is how shadow run starts. And Nintendo will get on board and on this and another like five years and their beams will also be five years old. If you will do know what you know what's going to be, it's do you want to use memes with our characters? You have to sign up to the Nintendo meme program. Yeah, no, a part of this weekend club. A part of this weekend was dedicated to

watching all the Nintendo Jim Henson skits, the fucking puppet skits. Oh, right. And just appreciating those little things. Those were great. Those were they when they when they try, they get it. They do. But sometimes they don't. Jim Hanson's a good meme. Twine is back. Okay, a super shiki. I think the world is not enough again. The final remix, then the same the same one. So but so there are now they're showing off some of the new pins, background music and more. So a lot of details about the upcoming re-release of the world ends with you. It's really nice to see this art sharp, you know, and like, oh, you mean in game? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I mean. And like, it's really cool to see that stuff. But yeah, like lots of details of this

dropping. And so it's a lot of time. I was like, I wanted to go to like conventions and buy more pins than just I had a little collection. I only had the one I'm terrified to play this game because like I tried it on the DS way back and that I had the exact same problem as you will the yep, touch controls. But you know, the art style is cool and the music's cool. And I hear all these great things about it. And I'm really worried for this new version with the sky. It's the version that I has everything I asked for, right? Yep. What if I play it and like I hate it? And I'm like, oh, this sucks. Only one would have found out. There's that Wolfpack one. Yep, don't turn your back. The the best thing going through that iOS version was like, Oh, fuck, the new music they added here

is great because why wouldn't it be? So the idea of adding new music to a game where the music is some of the best, like in all of video games is a really, really cool thing. Because it has a whole like new like added campaign. So yeah, but imagine like they're like, yo, we're really, we're re-releasing Jet Set Radio and we're adding new music to it. Yeah. Yeah. Like, oh boy. Okay. Oh, too mellow. Yeah, sure. Just fucking do it. Yeah. So you can take a peep at what's going on there. Yeah. Yeah. Big dread guy for that boss. I remember that guy. Yeah, me too. Uh, Stranger Things season three will be pushed to 2019. I always assumed it was. I never heard anything otherwise, but I guess, I guess it got bumped back. It was originally

supposed to start this fall. It's supposed to be a time jump too. Well, did you watch the trailer they put out for it? Oh, I did not. So the trailer they put out for for Stranger Things season three is just a mall. It's a super old timey ad for an American mall placed in Hawking's at the star court. And like it goes on for three minutes because they they must have constructed this big mall. It goes on for three minutes. And I guess this whole thing's going to take place inside of this mall. It might be it might be like, like, can we stop this this this article is not even worth talking about. This is not a story worth telling. Well, let's just look at this. Um, I patch wolf. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I thought you were just being

insured. So in this actually, I was being an eye patch. So in this, in this trailer for like just this mall, there's nothing to note except for one second where Steve is working at an ice cream shop without an ahoy hat. And that's literally it. And then it just goes back to being the star court mall. Nothing else to note, you know, so that's kind of fun. Yeah, I saw that screen cap of him with the ahoy hat. But I was like, what the fuck is this? And I yeah, I I still maintain that, you know, um, anthologies over continuity. I agree. I haven't seen the second season yet because I was just like, it's good. I'm sure it is. I'm sure it's super good. But but that initial thing about Oh, cool new thing is not there anymore. Yeah. I really, uh, I think we're going to

and like if this maintains that level of quality, then there's really nothing to complain about. But there's always something. But I think the further we go with the same cast, the more you're going to be like, okay, they've been through what now? And some capable individuals. Like how many life threatening world threatening events does it take before you move out of Hawkins? You know, I don't know, as many as it takes that the audience doesn't get well. So the end of a season three that would solve that problem would be the implication that things like this happen all over the US. There is that, right? Yeah, every little town has its own battles with the Eldritch God. Yeah. Yeah. But no, I mean,

that you know, like how are you going to tell an entire cast that's now famous, like you're all fired. You can't. No one wants that. And then they get to fight the blood sport of who gets to be the Koichi rolling into the next part. And I will say that, um, um, um, the true detective did the anthology and horrors, bad things worse. Yeah. I wanted a sequel to the first one. So, you know, it's not a slam dunk. No, it's not a guarantee. We're obviously, uh, saying this with the caveat that it's not shit. But, uh, yeah, it gets weirder as we continue with the same cast going forward, I think. Anyway, sorry, getting too old now. Um, the Sultan of Sit. Yeah, that happened.

Dead. Frederick Williams got over and it was fucking rad. Yeah. I asked him what's with the sitting and he goes, when I drop, they pop. Like straight up, there was, um, so there was a photo that was going around before this actually happened of Brennan, like doing his crazy sit pose, looking super dramatic. And at an NXT event, he became the sit master, the Sultan of Sit, the audience shouting, holy sit, holy sit. Because all he does is he just sits in the ring dramatically and looks cool and everyone fucking loves it. If someone, if the crowd goes nuts for your thing, you don't understand why. Don't

question it. Don't question it. Just fucking do it. And there was a clip from, uh, the FF10 playthrough that popped up. Did you see it? I, I, I watched it with sound off. Okay. You have to watch it with sound on because it's basically us at the beginning talking about when Tidus is just, it's like during the first, the first Blitzball on FMV, he's sitting above it and the crowd's cheering and he's just looking up and breathing in. And I'm like, what is this asshole doing? Why is he sitting and we're like, no way to be fair. If you just sit there peacefully doing nothing while the crowd gets hyped for you, you're the best. Just take it in. And then it just cuts the bread in. So wrestling's a bizarre world. And you never know what's going to get over.

I said, something gets you so, I said to him, like, not to, like, you know, this is really similar to Raven. He would always sit in the corner just like that. He's like, yep, I stole it from Raven and he goes, 10 year rule. Absolutely. Hasn't been active. Now, comic book, same thing. Exactly. 10 year sliding cycle. It's fine. So it turns out that that the cosmetics people buy in Fortnite, yeah, make a lot of money, you guys. Yes. They make like a million dollars. They make the most money of anything ever to exist in a human. There's a gamma suture article that popped up called Fortnite cosmetics, possibly taking

revenue from top console games. And this is based on an analysis that basically breaks down that when you remove Fortnite's cosmetic purchases from all digital sales, you lose six percent. That's a lot. Industry goes down, basically. And this is an analysis put out by SuperData. There's only so much. You have to trust SuperData. There's only so much money to go around, particularly with an audience that very likely has a very limited income, right? So people buying Fortnite things, that game has an insanely broad appeal, which means that it by default appeals to a younger audience as well. Let's say 10 and over. And people that are 10 to 15 have no money other than the money they acquire from parental or other sources. And if it goes into

Fortnite, it's not getting saved up for whatever. So the site that put out that information, SuperData, shout outs to them because they open up their article on a TLDR that just says, despite claims of an industry-wide growth spurt carried by Fortnite's success, several signs indicate the material cannibalization across top income and franchises. Yeah. Yeah. The money is. There's only so much. There's only so much money to go around, and it's got to go someplace. And 6 percent of it goes to Fortnite. Pools towards Fortnite. That's crazy. Isn't that insane though? Like, yeah. There's always, like, there's always a number like that at the top franchise, you know, whether back when it was Call

of Duty or whether it's a league or a Dota thing. You know what I mean? Like there's always. Call of Duty Day 1, 11 million fucking sales back in the high day. Yeah, in the high day, excuse me. And the wow money. Whenever people would run the math on the wow money, it just got gross. A counter strike held it for a little bit. Even like a year or two ago, I remember an article saying that over all of Overwatch's loot box sales had gone over a billion dollars too. That since has decreased, but still. Yeah. But right now, Fortnite is basically a vacuum. Give me the money. So, like, here's this. This hasn't happened to either of you yet, where, like, I was hanging out at home, and I went up talking to this lady in her like 40s or 50s, and she has like a son that's

16. And she's like, she's just making small talk and he's like, Oh, what do you do? I'm like, Oh, I make stuff. My son plays Fortnite. He wants to get into YouTube. Not quite, but pretty much essentially. She's like, Oh, my son, he loves watching those guys play games every day. And he goes, honey, do you know this guy? I'm like, I'm from super best friends. I don't know what that is. I play Fortnite. Yeah. I watch Fortnite. Do you play Fortnite? No. I can't help you. I was hanging out with my nephew who's like five years old. And the first question out of his mouth is like, Do you know about Fortnite? Yeah, because he's not allowed to play Fortnite because it's too violent. Every Uber driver, you know, same story. Like, Oh, yeah, no, my nephew, you know, like,

Oh, yeah, I can't wait to play that dope Detroit game. Yeah, get that tattoo. No, it's, um, that's not good. Don't get that tattoo. Look, you're allowed to be stupid. It's a tattoo from a video game. It doesn't equal Holocaust, but it's just like the fact that you picked that game is like spot on your arm. It's not. That's, that's, you're gonna, it's a little tasteless. You're gonna regret that. It's again, it's not the, yeah. Anyway, you're allowed to be stupid. There's nothing, nothing to say that like, Oh, no, you cannot do that. Am I allowed to be stupid? You got your career depends on it. Fucking good. If I stop being wrong for one second, it all, it all falls apart. Buy gold.

Why not celebrate Street Fighter's 30th anniversary with an $8,000 gold bar? Street Fighter. Why isn't it like a bison? Sometimes they nail it every once in a while. They don't. I don't understand what the fuck's going on, but over at Capcom, they're making solid gold bars that you can buy with the shadow lu fucking emblazoned logo on it for the four Kings. I want to point out that the photo that they're using of the gold bar makes it look very large. This is a 27 by 47 millimeter gold bar. This costs 300 bucks. That is more than 300 bucks, my friends. That is like the size of a pack of gum. 8,600 USD. How about fucking fix bugs in the game? This is my goal. Shut up and buy gold.

All right. Invest in your future. I will Jeff Jarrett screams like somebody just wanted this and just got enough crazy. That's the size of it. Yeah, it's like a lighter, like a it's when it all goes to shit. And when the crash happens, you're going to be cracking open your Street Fighter cases and selling your gold. I should point out that if it all goes to shit and the crash happens, gold might be worthless. You could use it to perhaps bludgeon someone. Okay. I don't mean that crash. I don't mean the fall. Okay. You mean the stock market crash? I mean the economic crash. You don't mean the downfall. Yeah. There's a difference. Yeah. Even if the stock market crash should probably be worthless. No, because when the money becomes valueless, gold. As long as the

economy still exists, gold remains gold. Because it used to have value like ages. It's rare. And the idea that, hey, let's fucking bullshit shit. We don't know because we're not economists. Listen, I'm an economist. But when the Federal Reserve is printing money that has no actual equivalent in gold because they can now print paper. Well, no, that's only for the gold standard. Which doesn't exist anymore. Yeah, because we use fiat money now. And the fact that the Federal Reserve is a private company, it's not actually government. Because like in Fist of the North Star, your gold equivalent is like a bag of dog food or a bag of rice that doesn't have eyeballed caps. Yeah, because they bottle caps. They were murdered to a barter economy. Yeah. So in fallout,

caps are past the barter economy. That's why the casinos in the new Fist of the North Star game go nuts. I don't know about it. But the idea, the idea is always that when the economy that still exists, falls, what matters is gold and land. Just inflation hurt gold. I wouldn't imagine it does. Gold is gold is gold. Yeah. And land is land is land is land is land is land is land. It's funny because gold used to be value because it was shiny and it was rare. And then it became double value because it had those traits. But it's also like an unbelievable superconductor and is amazing for all sorts of mechanical technological plans. But it's also shitty at being hard. And like, yeah, but that makes it easy to form into technology. Yeah. So it's an ideal building

for something robot like like Skynet will make golden term and but not ideal for like, you know, durability. Oh, no, they won't. If technology is that's what I'm saying. You can bite into it. Hold on. Gold is extraordinarily durable. It's just malleable, malleable. Thank you. Yeah, you can bite into it. But like, you're not going to wreck it. You're not going to enjoy it either. Street Fighter. You can eat gold if you're an asshole. If you're desperate enough. I've I've drank gold before. Yeah. Oh, yeah, maybe have I done that? Probably have you if you had gold slugger? Yeah, I have. Then you've drank gold. How do they get away with that? The shavings are there was a literal this like micron. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's an article that I read I remember

way back into the about literally how they get away with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I remember I remember I remember reading somewhere where somebody was like, you know, if you took all the gold in the world, it wouldn't even fill up a football field. Like there's not a lot. There's very little sad. You'll be back all don't worry. Man, you know, it really fuck up the economy. What asteroid mining? And it's like an asteroid that's like 35 kilometers wide of gold. Oh, we start pulling it out. And it's like, Oh, gold, like, Oh, look, we found a gold asteroid. Look, we're rich. No, you're not because now gold has zero. Yeah, don't tell anyone. No, you can't tell anyone about the asteroid. Just say I got gold. You got to pull a bunch of it out

and then Bruce Willis it and then it just gets splits. Oh, man. That's one of my favorite little character moments in Hero Aka, where they go to buy some shit and they're like, Yeah, why don't you just make some money? And she starts freaking out. Yeah, because like the government is watching her all the time. She's not making money out of nothing. That's that's yeah. Like, I mean, her power unrestricted is amongst the most broken. There's a game launching on September 4th called Planet Alpha. And I thought it was a cute little trailer. Essentially, you are side scroll running away from a fucking collapsing world at almost all times because aliens and tech and bullshit is just out to get you. And this is like a very

colorful alien themed inside. Yeah, it looks it reminds me a lot of inside, but it's like almost like all the running parts of inside with nothing that's not the running part. And that reminds me of out of this world. Yes. So I feel like this is set pieces the game, basically, because it's just get the fuck out. It's all coming to get you. But it looks like should have been the name. Yeah, Planet Alpha. It's coming to get you. It's coming to get you. Like some asshole aliens are chasing you down. And you're going through a very beautiful planet. Why are they gonna be like Team 17. Yeah. Worms. Yeah, well, because they have the tech and what are you what's your primitive life form as doesn't matter. Yeah. Good stuff. Nothing in the cosmic like vastness. Oh, oh,

that is that is what I didn't mention. But it's yeah, it's coming to everything. Yeah, everything. That's one thing that I like. Nailed it. Oh, yeah. And last but not least, you should you should sometimes just do least. Well, there's a new Venom trailer today. Oh, boy, popped up this morning. God, they're really, really going shit. We fucked up so bad with that first trailer. It doesn't stop showing Venom in this one. Now it's to trailer where we watch it's Venom. Okay, just checking because they have to come in now. Oh, well, you know, August a Venom trailer now, it's not popping up over the top of the screen. So I can't possibly know when it's happening. But anyway, it's Venom trailer to three technically, counting the teaser,

counting the counting the teaser. I haven't watched it. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think so far of what you've seen of it shows what he's going to be fighting unless you don't want to see that. Look at the last five seconds. Spider-Man. Well, did they did? We already discussed what he was going to be fighting when they said the fucking riot. Yes. The assholes are in it. Yeah. This is the guy still keeps saying what is this symbiotes? I think he says it once. Okay, well, we're watching the creation of the other symbiotes, I suppose that are jerks. Yeah, I will say that not like Venom, Venom's not. He says we a lot in this, which I like. Yes. And it looks like the full suit is going to look good. Oh, and you see, you see, you'll see a full body shot of him

because I was thinking if Spider-Man's not in this, what's on his chest? Yeah. So you'll see. Oh, that's true. And it actually talks to him separately. This looks like the darkness. Yeah. A lot. So the head comes out and like literally talks to Eddie Brock. Yeah, as a little sidekick. We are Venom. Nothing is on his chest. Nothing is on his chest. It's literally just not all black, which is fine because there are Venom designs that all use the Venom shield. I hate that. But maybe in a later sequel, when they get the rights to tie it in together, then he learns about Spider-Man, Venom doesn't have anything on this chest. At

least, I think. Oh, okay. Well, then, because he was just a made up suit. Sure. At least in the video game, I'm not sure about the comments. That's a long trailer. Yeah, it's a three minute trailer. Jesus. The world needs superheroes. Oh, no, I saw something on his back. It said the world has enough superheroes. There he is. Venom slice. Yeah. He's doing the moves. Oh, man, they're going to fight an evil Venom. Venom. No, it's going to be a big goo battle. Riot or lasher. Fage. Boo goo battle, goo battle. This trailer keeps going. This is a whole lead up to it. Yeah. That's fun. So when the trailer is still going, it is still going. I'm trying to talk here and say that the trailer is coming out. The movie is coming out when October 5th. All right, Tom Hardy.

They should have really showed that earlier on and not shown that teaser that gave everyone like a bad impression without Spider-Man still. It's not it's not a guarantee just yet. I'll say that much. Venom looks great. That movie looks bad. And I want to just briefly mention something that blew my fucking mind because of how involved with with like my childhood this was. But there's a story that came out on the Daily Beast about crazy how an X cop rigged McDonald's Monopoly game and stole millions. Congrats everyone who ever won the McDonald's Monopoly game. Almost every prize over the course of 12 years was a rigged ass thing because the guy who was responsible for like safely putting the prices the putting the the the million dollar

prizes was super corrupt and eventually got involved with fucking gangsters and straight up the Sopranos in real life. So and it's like there's plot twists and turns every paragraph of this story on the Daily Beast. Go fucking read it if you have any attachment or interest in this because I grew up in a in a fucking place where everyone I knew was playing this game right. Everyone was hardcore into the fucking McDonald's Monopoly game to the point where even at church because it's not gambling it's a fucking Brits of Burger contest. Fuck off. Right. It ain't gambling so even people at church were in on it and even that comes up in the story. My history teacher once told me about how a hospital randomly got a boardwalk piece mailed to them anonymously

and some good Samaritan just did it and it was an amazing thing that happened that everyone was like wow that's so crazy and that was a mystery in our lives for the longest time about how this unmarked envelope that just said Dallas wound up at a hospital for a children's research hospital that works into this story and little bits and pieces of things I'd heard over the years is all connected in what could be a trilogy. So the long and short of it however is you can't assign the final responsibility for items worth millions of dollars to one person to one person because then they can just take them if they want. An ex cop security guard became a mobster straight up. Well he's working out some fucking print job and they hand him a little sticker and they're like

the stickers were five hundred grand. The FBI eventually launched something called Operation Final Answer which was basically a series of mix things on previous winners because this had been a fucking racket that had been going on for years and everyone was in playing the game that I knew and but no one ever could win a second game gear. Okay so here's another thing that one of the should do they should just give out random hundreds of millions of dollars to anybody who ever played it. So one thing I'll tell one like like of all the little bits and pieces one of the ones for example I'll throw out that that like was relevant was back okay so there's a part of the story where they described that this was not considered gambling it was considered a contest

because you didn't have to buy a burger to get a piece you could just apply for free by writing to McDonald's and saying you wanted to play right that takes a lot of effort and time eventually later on and during I forgot what year it was they made it so that you could just go to a website and sign up with your email address and get a free piece so you participate so it's a free contest right it's not gambling this is important because my brother back in the day figured out that you could sign up type in your email and then you go like yeah I want to play and then you get your piece right away and see if you want a thing or not right but as soon as you see the piece you see it the result before it even sends the email out right yeah so there was a site that let you

create large amounts of accounts for like a thing dot thing dot thing email address and so it would be like make a thing send it out see if you win and then go make the address afterwards to catch the ball that's already in midair nice right and he did that that's not gambling huh and he did scam and he and he did that and like besides a couple trios eventually a cd player was one it's totally worth and that's the height of how far it got your trio listening your cool music on your cd player that's how far it got that's the fucking right and it was and because it's a contest that's free entry it was like like yeah anyone can play for free as much as they want to you know and like you just the whole thing with going in and getting a piece with your fries or your burger or whatever

was just like a gimmick that was the easiest way to get it you know um and then they bring that up in the fucking thing to explain this i'm like this is so nuts how it weaves into a lot of my life but it's also just an amazing story uh that is the movie out of it for sure yeah the making the making a murderer like there's deaths there is death there are deaths in the story is this open mcdonald's up for a class section lawsuit there already there already was oh yeah and there and a lot of this shit happened and people pooled together dude they fucking the whole thing even kicks off because um the guy who uh uncle jerry the the the ringleader the ringleader x cop that became a mobster watched when they seeded the results to like in a random thing to go here's

where all the million dollar prizes and all the high level prizes are going to go in the country or rather across the all their stores and they saw that the high the fucking million dollar prize for the first one went to canada and they officially the mcdonald the corporation that was working with mcdonald's said redo it we don't want canada getting that high prize and he went oh what and he's like oh you're just gonna fuck over canada and they just for for the reasons that an american needs to be the first winner they they changed it again and so when he saw that he was like oh fuck this i can just i can just yeah do whatever and furthermore if they ever say anything i got this on them and that was what set it off so that's why there were no

fucking winners in canada it's nuts dude and then like there's there's fortune tellers involved fucking nice and yaba shows up you know like it's so crazy how far the fucking rabbit hole goes that's awful um and and these are all just bullet points in this thing that keeps going so yeah man read this story it is great i'll take canada we're good to you it has enough because an american needs to be the first winner yeah always needs to be american it's the fucking it's nuts dude anyway uh just mean if i go to prices right like is my dream they'll all win the car and they'll be like no car for you canuck i'd be sad no because those prizes are worthless to them yeah but a million dollars is not worthless to them a million dollars not worthless to anybody yeah that's crazy i like

i was thinking none of this merely makes sense like how could you and it's like yeah i have this on you yeah and like the linchpin and one of the best things is you can go back to the evidence and some of them are like when they present the winners all the winners in the filmed commercials that you saw over the years were all fucking scams in on the racket jerry and one of the first ones jerry colombo aka the leader of the colombo crime family was basically literally toadie soprano in real life colombo colombo fucking uh figures out crimes he doesn't do that and he won a dodge viper which he couldn't but he couldn't sit in it because he was too fat because he's a fat old gangster so he just traded it in for the money but he did agree to go on tv and shake a car key so you see this

picture of a fat ass toadie soprano literal mobster boss winning it's it's then you can go back and watch all the evidence see all the criminals and to get more of them all they had to do was guys were filming another commercial yeah and they just got them all and dude it's amazing it's i love the story so much all right let's get into the mail if you have if you have a mail let us know about your big mcdonald scams the super best friendcast at gmail.com that's super best friendcast at gmail.com and you're scared i want to hear about you scamming mcdonald's not mcdonald's scamming nice people um your scam might sound a little something like this dear super straight bears there's many awesome characters who wear scarves which make the blah let's try that again there

are many awesome characters who wear scarves which make which makes their visual okay this person just uses the wrong there i'm sorry that should be quotation threw me the fuck off um just read it which uses uh which has a visual and physical design that it makes it look even better strider just with joe starbridge beautiful jokes et cetera always always begin to think that the scarf is also a huge choking hazard like someone could grab a hold of it uh totally and just get it could get caught on something if you have a long piece of fucking fabric you're you're you're putting such as why the Incredibles brings this up where everyone with one just dies it's also in watchmen uh what's a what's a design feature that you find is actually dangerous or impractical

elbow knives elbow oh oh elbow knives are just asking to accidentally stab anyone standing near you and there's like you think of batman but there's lots of other like more sea tier like video game designs like i would say like you know people from the darkness or god uh dark sector everyone's got like little edgy things on their elbows and it's like you just shred your sides up mate um i find that like masks that cover your nose and mouth both a lot of the time are usually almost impossible to wear for more than half an hour like for if you're wearing them for more than half an hour and you don't have breathing holes it's just gonna get gross in there you're gonna have a hard time breathing like think about when you're wearing a ski mask and even then it's got

holes cut out and it's still kind of gross like a full cover face mask when you cosplay or whatever you can't breathe after half an hour yeah and you do you know this physical activity that's a good one yeah ps would you like to have a suits and ties meet up at vegas during eva weekend that's a bit much dude i think i'm fine thank you um thanks david elbow blades are stupid but they're cool yeah there uh we got one coming in the best place i can put these blades on my elbows not like on my knuckles that's what xeon the unborn thought yes but those are so long that they go over his head so he's like unlikely to stop himself maybe i don't know uh dare scream lords one time in high school one of my friends sat in the back of our class away from most prying eyes

one day he was out of the room and i chanced to look at his notebook and i noticed that he was drawing fond erotic sketches of pikachu another pokemon that's right i was shocked but i could never work up the courage to tell him that i discovered his horrible secret except for this letter uh planned to take it to my grave and yet have you ever seen a friend or family member that had no some sort of secret or theirs or something like that without them knowing that you knew this is stupid thanks guys uh not without them knowing usually i just hey i look at somebody go hey what's up with that shit and they go and then they tell me and i'm like uh um that's gross i the the only thing that comes to mind is it's not even remotely like on that level

but uh i always used to draw spider-man fighting venom on my my duetangs and fighting back as a kid and are you sure you're sure yes fighting yeah because of it but because uh we used to trace our marvel cards and then eventually after tracing them long enough we learned how to draw the characters yeah that's how the masters that's exactly how you learn to do it exactly and so i would draw i would draw them fighting and i'd not specifically draw the todd mcfarland style right with poses and whatever there was no other style and i drew and i remember i had always drawn my venom in the same way because with the venom that i originally learned to draw was off of like devries and some other artists that had a the really long jaw right so the

jaw was always really wide open like the violator looking one and the tongue exactly eric larson did that a lot yep yep him as well as well so uh i would always draw that venom and i and that was on a lot of my shit right and i remember specifically one time walking by uh my friend john's desk and i saw him on his little on his little like paper drawing the same type of things that i would do was doing but way worse and i remember i'll never forget because i was like because i saw the whole spider-man fighting venom thing but it was way more 2d and flattened like this is like great you have all the shading that you yes you have all your work this is like grade three or four right this is a willy original piece this is making bad knock off but the thing that like i have

ever always laughing at because i looked at it i was like oh dude what are you drawing over there and he's like nothing right but i remember because i saw his venom and he did the jaw thing but he also made the top lip stick out too so it just looked like a duck from duck game if you understand what i mean yeah you know venom has the underbite that drags out it's always an underbite but he did the top lip sticking out too that's stupid so it was an ugly duck face and i was like i was like i saw that and it was hilarious because like oh you're trying to draw my venom but you fucked up and i was like oh dude what's that he's like nothing and he got super embarrassed by it because each of you's like trying to draw my shit which i draw drew other people's shit but he couldn't

do it properly so actually really similar to this i would be drawing superheroes all the time and i have like little uh the pictures put in the plastics in a binder and i flip through them and people will come over like oh you draw stuff i'm like i try and um some people would ask like hey can you draw me this can you draw me that i'm like yeah i'll give it a go and then one guy was like can you draw me rogue and i go yeah sure and then as i'm drawing it's like during a lunch period i hear him under his breath go can you draw me one that's naked and it went what and he goes nothing and i don't know what he was going for like was he psyching himself up and like repeating it was really low really low trying to do really low so no one would overhear but he had

hoped i would hear and would say yeah so when i said what he instantly like mega man acts warning yeah back off now you might look like a weirdo but but you i drew those myself you drew some sexy shit so you the thought process of friends must have been like i can i can draw a little black dot that can represent a nipple no problem there you go you know but no back in the days on the mugen barge there was a a secret thread corner where people would take sprite files from mugen characters and edit them to just put some more pink in there and that was that was literally that was the thing people had their stuff uh uh nothing no man uh we got one caught nobody tunie d says dear soup what would you say is your favorite tagline uh from a game

either an ad or on the box gotta kill it there you go for example quantum theory gotta kill it quantum theory yeah okay quantum theory gotta kill it uh for example my personal favorite is no crying until the end in the commercials for mother three oh wait that that that fighting wrestling game that we play that said you never ever you never ever beat me uh for me it's two games from the ps1 era it's um resieval twos if the suspense doesn't kill you something else something else well it's really good and xeno gears is on the back of the box in big caps to stand tall and shake the heavens which is it's not a lot more about the plot than i thought it was they're cute but they're no gotta kill it um yeah they're not it's not a game it's a movie but do

you remember predator two the tagline for predator two um he's he's in town for a few days with a few days to kill he's in town with a few days to kill yeah it's fucking great that's one of the best of all time yeah yeah yeah it's in town with a few days to kill it's strong uh and oh and obviously if you drink latte from the don't be crazy i mean that's not a tagline it sure is right on the box yeah but it's not the thing no it's not the thing um they're super worst self promoters you know what up louis says i've been catching up on recent weeks of the podcast matt mentioned my sweet baby's logo matt mentioned the sweet baby's logo i suddenly remembered you guys had a merch store and if that thing exists i always intended to buy some shit alas the stitch storm porster is no longer listed

as well as the sweet baby's wear and you guys have pins what the fuck when did that happen liam's even on them so it was more than 18 months ago i completely missed it i know you guys aren't the type to have the whole you made a bunch of show videos i know you guys aren't the type to have the like comment subscribe bell patreon reminder at the end but maybe you want to rep the store a little bit more than none at all and i'll be able to fucking make a bunch of videos we haven't put anything new on the store a lot of new people have found this in the last year or two that have never i should uh we should talk about actually making new merch because we haven't done it in like a year um i'll be able to give you some dollar reduced and more timely matters so yeah that's

all it's just a hey don't not do it at all it's like yeah that's fair that's fair we also upset there's a lot of new people is full of money a lot of new people that that only found us um remember there was like there was like maybe a good solid six months where we actually did put the like on the trailer at the end yeah a little clip yeah those trailers at the end of every LP yeah that's yeah buy our shirts and so on um there's me not being able to reach a red bull because i'm too short there's that one too there's ours uh us as fashionistas yeah oh and this one's just hilarious uh joe says hey um there's a game on steam called bitcoin miner that changed its fucking name to team fortress two about 16 hours ago which is apparently a thing you can do yeah

the record is here valve is responded by requiring approval for name changes and also instituting a pop-up whenever anyone tries to spy sell that in for a game they've never owned so that's something apparently up until this point you could just make a name change i've i've whatever the fuck you want vividly remember um a bunch of games doing that to get away from their bad reviews yeah so there was a period of time literally run away just that's my name the game would the game would drop and they would get like universally negative reviews and then you they would change the name and part of that process would be that it would invalidate the review system making it clean like it's just one of those things where i'm like how wouldn't why would someone that goes

through all the trouble of getting their shit up there even but then are you because they're a scammer well it's it's the thing you have to back up and i go wait people kill people scams like thievery people people kill people yeah what is like who you know what i mean you could kill somebody right now given proper motivation who cares like i i don't know if i've explained that on the podcast before but it's just a thing where like anytime something that makes zero sense to me happens you got to go stop wait people kill people this means nothing of course someone would be this dumb wait did uh anything less than that is like of course why wouldn't it happen god anyway so people are bad sometimes we should have a shirt that's just our new team name

the munchall screw jobs munchall screw jobs so fucking strong it is but no one would know it was us who cares who cares yeah makes it a better shirt yeah i guess no one knows that i am the hype is specifically you're correct it's not dragged down by our horrible brand exactly you are correct coming up and coming out hey what up we are going to record right now right now right now well i'm gonna eat something yeah me too that's cool uh we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna wait here and stare at the wall that's good that's a good plan i don't mind that um yeah we're gonna we're gonna record some more Detroit literally right now uh we've got some fisticuffs coming up as usual and everything continues everything continues what's coming up i want to

say there's i want to say that um tokyo mirage it's getting there is about i think we have like now we have one more session for sure that's what i mean you guys gonna beat kotor i think we can do it and i think we can beat it next session it depends on yeah it depends if we can it's gonna be a hundred under a hundred for sure yes well everything's under a hundred absolutely except for coach wait no coach was like 99 we made fucking sure that shit was 99 yeah also i just when i had to i when i was here early a little bit the other day i just went and did some clean up in in on the save file yeah there's some new features that just unlocked in the fucking game no way there's literally new features all right tell me later yeah yeah you'll see them on camera

yeah so Detroit continues seconds left on the shot clock and the game is giving me tutorials i swear to god Detroit continue tms continue re5 continue re5 is a lot shorter than i remember yeah the session we played yesterday we're terrible at it we got like into the last third of the game kind of surprisingly to me i thought those metal parts were a lot longer man the the start like the first two hours is like oh my gosh it's so good and then it unfortunately just kind of slogs down into a couple of badly paced sections that hurt it it's it's the the the issue that all those games had where it's like because they're all built up by levels like there's the village that there's this some of those levels shine and some don't in re4 all of them shine with the island

shining a little less yeah in re5 the first and dead last sections are really good but that middle part where you're fighting the um the stick tossers well you'd be a very scary like if you remember how many sections of the game is this you're just on a turret or you're fighting a boss with a turret you fight two turret bosses back to back back yeah there's a lot of a blur in the beginning of that game and then there's the majinis and then after that there's more blur and then there's the wesker flashback and then the jill reveal and then i forget and then there's the volcano yeah that's that's that's it uh oh yeah volcano oh there's oh i forgot about the boat there's the boat we have to do oh right that's how we did already be not even a bigger boat no i mean

the bigger boat the one that looks like the one from re7 a large boat right and what about what about on the uh the solo jobs what about solo jobs that's weird that don't i don't like that what i can see my solo job you want to watch a solo job also the also the solo jobs are often not solo there's a lot there like reggie and lee and we're on your channel and matt you show up with lianna and i got page or like they're not all solo no but they're still solo jobs sometimes there's there's more than one person don't knock a good solo job yeah you never know sometimes there's any people people can watch solo jobs yeah what's going on it almost stops being a solo job if someone watches is that how that works almost no no the performing act

it's a solo job and then you click a button and now it's a group act i don't think that's not a group act out that wait that would make nothing we're involved that would make nothing in any of us ever do ever a solo job a stream no one's home a stream it's a solo job to me a stream where people can react in real time yeah so as long as one person's watching the stream if i'm if i'm alone and the windows are closed and i'm playing my game that that's a solo ass job so on the mat and muscles fluff house um thank you i uh i have a new show coming up on friday that i recorded super wrong ipatch wolf bad opinion man yeah uh called mumbling with mumbling with man that's good mumbling with matt which is basically a uh two hour video podcast

and our subject one one singular subject is the state of wrestling video games why are we here in this new ghetto why is a better question than how the state of it the state of it so him and i discuss like kind of the genesis of wrestling games and like how did we get here and just as a really really light thing it's like we got here because in the ps2 xbox uh you know gamecube era the gamecube got its own wrestling games day of reckoning and such they were not huge successes the xbox got raw one and two there are miserable failures but the playstation sticked with the strong brand which is the smackdown games and turned to smackdown versus raw they then became the de facto line and every other series got ports of that line so that was just our straight line

that was the winner of all three and now we're stuck here forever it's like bananas never leaving yes there used to be more than one type of banana yes and there are lots of different flavors yes but now there is the one banana and if something happens to make that banana bad yeah we have bad bananas forever and this banana comes out every year but they all got wiped out shitty yeah so uh that was very interesting that's coming out on friday um and you know i'll probably have these like maybe one every one or two months probably two months where i have a different gas and like a different like one subject so the godzilla anime movies with jeff from mother's basement or like predator shit we'll say we'll say so with the predator yeah and uh mom thomas uh helped me put

together a fantastic uh puzzle league retrospective so that's encompassing panel and tetris attack because i love those games so that went really well and that'll maybe this is part of that is it no no uh like i didn't know that there was a paneled upon hidden sequel like a full 3d sequel that took place in another time period that only released in japan on a double pack with mario tetris uh sorry mario dr mario i always love these games that only get released in this nonsense format woolly planet puzzle league on the ds you know what happens in the japanese version it's still planet puzzle league but it has a hidden unlockable skin to make it look like touches attack instead of pokemon right planet puzzle league was one of the geometric shapes and whatever

and new characters so it makes it look like the old blocks yeah it makes a little of the old blocks but it's not yoshi it's the paneled upon girl like the fairy girl it's the same thing it's only in the japanese version damn fuck them fuck them anyway that's all coming up what's going on we'll reverse this now uh well you know um uh nir is going to continue but i of course can't do a new session until i get a chance to until you're actually in the physical location to record it that's correct so in the mean in the milieu uh you know it's going to continue with its fucking um play through b um Naruto same thing it's you know gonna gonna pick that recording back up probably when i get back next week and when you uh when you when you finish off play through b

and start play through c of neruto yeah let let me know i want to talk to you about a thing sure um and then uh uh uh hey like it's fucking some cool shits happening they're releasing four curbie figures that have different faces based on the different sprites that's good shit we got a curbie fucking novel coming shut up really that's good shit we got content released straight to my channel from nintendo officially as uh i eventually need uh to you know here you go mr versus yep we'll get around to it we got time can like get a bunch of curbie figures do like curbie playhouse theater just make them shake and do your voice i mean you could i bought one of those light up little glowing like uh neon sign curbie things one of this weekend now i got one of those in the

you know what curbie man you know what when you're right you're right so uh i don't want it you know in hindsight it's kind of shocking you didn't turn into it more earlier yeah like you know i don't know where that was going but i don't like what's going like it's kind of shocking that you would turn down the opportunity to do curbie videos yeah hey can we like go box some youtubers and make a lot of money box them yeah who we box them like youtubers that are really famous that are weaker than us because i'm only boxing somebody that i can easily ruin and i'm tiny apparently that's a huge payout yeah huge big cross promotion of that all box matt matt you want british youtubers you've never heard of british people british youtubers you've never heard of

for big money british people love to hit each other in the face yeah it's a real thing and i guess if you haven't heard of it then the joke is a flop oh no warp warp warp i'll be straight uh since y'all are in evo town uh vegas over the next couple days i don't have much to do so i'll be streaming over at angriest pad on twitch uh some bullshit i'll be streaming you know probably gunjan maybe dark souls uh depending on if and when capcom gets back to me about something i'll stream something from them nice be careful here are you not supposed to say something well i don't have the code yet then don't say it yeah nice i don't have the code yet so i'm not gonna put myself in speaking of evo people want to have a 100 shot of seeing you and me i believe we're both going
