["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"] Uh, right. Okay. Yeah. Yep, yep. Yep, yep. Oh, wait, hold on, there's an extra button I need to click here. Ha!

Extra buttons for extra people. And uh... Did it go? Did you hit the button? I hit a button. Did the button work? Button? Are you there?

Button? Oh my god, this jackass. Wow. Wow. Wow. Is this a bit or...? I don't know if this is a bit or not. Is this a fucking bit?

Dude, hello? Yo, I'm here. Yeah! Oh, fucker. Are you talking to me? What the fuck? Yes, you are the button. Oh, shit.

Okay, I'm the button. Okay. Okay. For a second, I thought... What the fuck is this bit? Like, where is this going? Like, I'm just here. I hit the button.

You see, I hit the button to unmute you. Okay, guys. All right. And then... For a second, dude. Okay, for a second, I thought Alpha was about to fucking bomb the show. Me too? I thought he was going to be the latest moment ever.

I thought he was just kind of... They're not going to say anything or say, you guys are shit. Then you would hear a dial tone noise. Alpha fucking Gamboa on the podcast. And we call in. We dial in. We set him up. We do everything.

Binch of chatting and stuff. And then we go live. And then he just mutes the fuck out for the entire show. Now, I'll just use the Wi-Fi. I'll just have the Wi-Fi, like, sound. Like, the Wi-Fi signal and just peep out. Oh, boy. Do you know what you could have done if you felt it wasn't working, which it wasn't?

Uh-huh. You could have been like, hello? Alpha Gambutton? Yeah, I guess. And then you stomp on his digital Homer Simpson foot. Black Book Alpha? Geez, guys. Hi, I'm Black Book Alpha.

I'm not Black Norah Book, but my name is Alpha. So that's my opener, I suppose. That's your God-given Christian name. I've never met you, correct? Pop Christianity. What? No, sorry. I've never met you in person, right?

Yeah, no, we haven't met him. None of us have. Nobody's met me in person. I met him just now over the voice. I notice who are wondering, he is one of the artist friends and most recently known for the Devil May Cry 4 intro art that you guys saw. Special edition Devil May Cry 4 LP. The Devil May Cry 4 LP.

Like, it was basically a photograph. It was kind of insane. Yeah. So. I thought I was going to say he's responsible for Devil May Cry 4 entirely. Damn. I have a slight suspicion that our guest's microphone might be slightly... I have upped it.

I have upped it. Hey. Oh shit. Hey, guess who knows how to run a show? I don't know who. We're doing it live, folks. Yeah. Yeah.

And yeah, welcome, welcome. Glad to have you. Hey, I also do pro bono work for these guys doing the thumbnail podcasts. There you go. He shoots them over. All those wonderful thumbnail podcasts are being made live as we speak. Exactly. So, now it's...

You know, we started this out kind of going like, Hey, don't you usually kind of vet the people you're going to have on the show? And we're like, Yeah. This is just cold, yeah. Cold guest appearance right here. Nope. I've never talked to these guys.

I've never had any conversation. I've never met them in person. Partially, I don't kind of want to because they live all the way out in Canada. What's wrong with Canada? Canada is the best. It's cold. I just looked outside. It's cold, guys.

You know, other places get that. Not as bad. Yeah. I'm going to assume that you are aware of how things work and such. So, we don't need to give... He's like, not really. I don't just make artwork for you guys. I don't actually know anything about it.

Please elbow and shove and force and clothesline your way into the conversation at all times. All right. Yeah, yeah. Get myself in there somewhere as you guys trample on. So, go ahead. Maybe if you need to break into our conversations, you scream Alpha Gamboa. I will shout. You know, they made fun of me back in grade school where it's like Alpha.

What was that? Like Gamboa. They always called me like Boa Constrictor. There you go. There's a snake-themed pun. Is your actual name Alpha Gamboa? Yes. My name is actually Alpha Gamboa.

It's not my full name because you might... You know, it's cool. My full name is cooler, but I prefer to just... Yeah. No, no, no, no. It's a tag. It's a tag. It's a tag.

His birth name is not Alpha Gamboa, but... No, my birth name is Alpha, but I can't say my middle part. Oh. Oh, shit. Oh, fuck. Hey, Alpha, do you have any headphones that you could use? Oh, shit. No, I don't.

Why? No reason. So that's kind of like that guy we know whose name is Omega. Yes. Or the one I just referenced right before. We can never meet because we might form a singularity in between. That's crazy. Exactly.

That's insane. Wow. Okay, well, fuck. That changes... You are from the future. You are, yeah. Okay. Yes, I am from the future.

Great. So nobody believes me about that. I don't know why. I don't. Well, so here's what's up. Matt, I just need to let you know right off the bat that I don't know what's going on, but some bullshit's about to happen on this side of the room. Okay.

He's pointing at me for all of you at home. There's some gimmick of some kind happened over the last couple days of some shit over on a stream and I don't know what it is or why it's happening, but there's something about bees and cubes and Smash Brothers is everyone's waiting on it and it's been building to some sort of crescendo or crescendo. I don't know how you address that crescendo. So some type of random ass wacky bullshit's going to go down. I suggest sandbagging, but let's play it by ear and see how it goes.

So I already had several people say this is going to be a bad podcast. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I got warned as well. So I have my phone out. Cool. This is one.

Got it. Cool. You can even put that within arm's reach. Just put it right between. Okay. Well. You should have prepared yourself. This is a big mistake, guys.

I know that some bullshit is being planned and we don't know how this is going to go because warnings have been sent. That's fine. Great. Let's commence with podcasting. I feel so bad for Alpha. No. So then.

Alpha's the only one in this room that saw. No shit. Shit. Well, why don't we start out with your week? Okay. Are you talking to Alpha or are you talking to me? I'm not talking to you. Damn.

Let's get the guest out. Off I go. Okay. I watched Wreck-It Ralph 2 last week. Is it good? It was pretty. Is it good? It's not the conventional Disney movie, which is really surprising.

It's getting there to the bar of Pixar, not Pixar level, like classic Pixar, but it's getting there. In terms of overall quality or like. Just the subversion of expectations from once. You think it's going to go here and it actually goes in a different direction. So then what do you think about those kind of like other Disney movies that have been sort of put on the same quality level as Pixar's like Zootopia or Tangled or Moana? Where do those fit in for you?

In the middle, I guess. It's kind of weird watching it because I used to work making video games for Disney and I kind of know that. I don't know. Like I have a really. Did you work on Bolt? What? No.

Fuck no. No, I worked on. No, I remember Bolt. It's the dog. It's the Bolt's dog. So I got to say my background here. So Matt and Woolly, you worked for different video game companies, correct? Yes.

Testers. I worked as an artist at Disney and Nexon and it's worse because I worked on their mobile games division and social games division. They're the top tier artists of all time. So this is the perfect chaotic thing, you know. Okay, Blood Brothers. Bummer of a podcast. Yeah, there you go.

Blood Brothers in the trench. Got it. Got it. Got it. So I'm a brother from another mother up here in California. Or I should say Texas because I'm in my friend's place right now. Wow. Yeah, I forgot you were there.

So what would you say of the subject matter changing from video games to internet jokes? Video games to internet jokes. Because that's the part that kind of had me kind of going like, I wish it was more video games. So the first act is about the video game. Like they established a whole like, okay, this is a video game thing. And then they transitioned later on to internet thing, which is like a broader spectrum. Like I'm kind of partially glad that they went in that direction just so they can have

at least different like, you know, memes that they can talk about. But yeah, it's polarizing in some ways, but at the same time like, okay, I see why they went with this route instead of introducing more video games and having to deal with a lot of, you know, different IPs from different like game companies. So I have a question. Did you see the emoji movie, Alpha? I don't want to, but I heard about it. Why?

Because this tread over the same territory. Because the emoji movie had the issue of let's go to the next act. Hey, let's go to Twitter and Facebook and get to Google. This has been, Disney artists and animators have taken really good care of like properly visualizing what Twitter is all about without making it too like, you know, like vomit inducing. Okay, that's exactly what I was going to say. I heard that a little bit from other people that have seen it. They're like, yeah, the internet stuff was actually not the stuff I didn't like.

Okay. Stuff like Ralph's character arc is poor, was described as poor to me. Yeah, well, it's, it's, it's, yeah, it's, I can see how they would go there because there's no villain in this movie, surprisingly. There is, there is a villain, but it's a villain in the first one. Yeah. That's a bircher. He was because he revealed himself in the last 10 minutes.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good, good. Like the princesses scene really made me chuckle hard because it just shows Disney aware of all of his tropes. I want to see this. All of his princess tropes.

Right. And I was laughing so hard because I've, you know, like we've been trained by Disney to like recognize these tropes and they're just calling it out one by one. We're like, oh, you don't have a dad. Like, I don't even have, you know, like a mom. Oh, no way. It's like, oh, she is a Disney princess. And I'm like, oh my God, like this is, I'm like, I'm cringing it, laughing.

Cause when I first heard that joke, cause there is a clip of it on the internet, I was like, wait a minute. Yeah. None of them have fucking moms. Yeah. Everyone has dads or all the parents. Was the whole scene in the trailer though? Cause that like, I feel like I've seen all of those jokes already in the trailer.

No, there's another one. I want to. Don't spoil it. Don't spoil it. I can't. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. Cause I mean, I'm sure people are, some people still go out, want to get out to see.

It's nice to know that there's multiple. Yes. But it seems like one or two more. It felt like one of those moments where it was like, that's funny. I've seen it now. You know, and if you go to the movie and then that is what you end up seeing with nothing extra, then you're like, ah, well, you know. Yeah.

There's two more scenes where you didn't mention in the trailers, but it's, it's so true. Cause I just realized like, oh my God, like all of the, you know, when they, when they break in the song, there's a certain trigger that actually happens when they break in the song. Like, no. So, so overall you enjoyed it, but I guess not as much as the first one. Um, I, I like this one. I actually enjoyed it a little bit better than the first one.

Yeah. There's a lot of scenes with Sonic speaking to Ralph and I'm going like, wow. Like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I'll leave it at that. They're setting up. They're setting it up.

They're setting it up. What? They're setting up. All star racing's on the first one. Sonic like. There's a Sonic transform. Sonic was in the first one. He just said, hey kids, don't do this.

It's Sonic. But now the Mars dinner's coming. A fucking creepy sex weirdo. Like he said. No, no, he actually talked to Ralph. Like, hey, what is, what is. You shut up. I'm talking to the, what are you talking about?

Sonic is a creepy sex weirdo. In your brain. Yes. No, no, no. In your folders at home. No, no, no. Not my folders. The internet's in your incognito tabs.

Yes. No. It doesn't count. At large. It doesn't count what people have at home. They have to stage. Because one thing I, someone told me is that I'm not sure how true this is, but the reason, one of the reasons why there's so much downplayed video game stuff is because Disney was like,

this was a big fucking mistake. We have to talk to all these fucking companies and it's a huge pain in the ass to license all their characters. And it's not worth the trouble from what, like, we don't get these jokes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the head ups or whatever. Right, right, right. So they're like, fuck this.

Stop. We don't go. Where else can he go? I don't like to not laugh. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it would be funny if they, if they leaned in with the Sonic Twitter account. That's a, you know, so that's way beyond inside for any alpha.

So they talk. So they open with Sonic explaining what the internet is and Sonic is talking around like, hey, like, you know, what is Wi-Fi? Connects to the internet. It's like, so Sonic explaining how the internet works. He's a major character. Yeah. He's a major character.

Sonic internet, creepy sex weirdo. When Sonic is, is, is talking to Ralph and there's like some visuals on the screen. You didn't notice if there was like one little page of art that showed like an inflated tails. No. Damn. No. No. Like I'm disappointed.

But no, but just Sonic explaining what the internet is was enough for me. Like, yeah, these, these writers know that, you know, Sonic is the best tour guide for explaining what, what the internet is. Cool. Okay. I mean, the dogs will eat their own shit into a froth and then vomit their own shit and then roll around in the pool. There's a bit about Zangief where they just talk about the leg hair of Zangief.

Like they talk about Zangief's leg hair and I'm like, oh. Yeah. Yeah. They just keep looking at Zangief's leg hair. I'm like, that's, that's not normal, man. What if you have leg hair like that? It's all except Zangief's chest hair. I don't accept his leg hair.

Nobody talks about how he pops blood vessels when he flexes. Doesn't do that in the movie though. In his artwork, you literally see a vein in his forehead popping. That's just Aki-Man King. That's, that's for dramatic effect. That's not a real blood vessel. He planted that. It, it like implies major health problems if blood vessels are popping.

I assume that Zangief was kind of inspired back in the day by like Ivan Drago. So he'd be hitting the juice, right? I'm just saying. Like the monster juice. I don't think in, in Russian federations, you need to hit the juice to impress Vince McMahon. I think in Russia, it's just like whatever. Just do whatever you want. What, uh, unless he bladed, yes.

Unless he bladed. That's a possibility too. He's not going to blade in the Street Fighter tournament. Because Zangief is a wrestler that doesn't know that wrestling's fake. Imagine trying this. Yeah. Right. Well, that's only going by the Udon comic, but I think it's true.

But it's, but it, it, there's nothing that implies that he hasn't like, he never sells anything. He always really goes hard. 110%. You're thinking of his fight with Armica, right? Where she's like, throw me to the ropes. And he's like. What?

Yeah. Yeah. What do you mean? Yeah. Yeah. You know, and, and he's really fighting. But her moves still hit him. Yeah.

And he's. He's using wrestling as a real fighting style. It's, it's super weird. Like, did you just accidentally bumble into a shoot from every match? But it somehow just went down the script that was laid out the booking. Everyone is in the back going like, man, don't work with Zangief. He's, he, he goes stiff. Well, he works real stiff.

Zangief's the worst guy I worked with since Shamrock. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. He brought Lesnur's in. I'm looking you in the eyes. This is a whole other podcast. We, we need to get together.

You feel a fighter PDF. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And whether it's selling versus. Every match is a squash match. You know, nobody knows. He doesn't know it, but his booking is, is the worst.

Anyway. I do not know. Anything else with your week? Not much. I'm recovering from an illness at the moment. Temperature. The temperature shifts from 70 degrees Fahrenheit to 30. That's true.

At night. Yeah. Cause I'm at the cold part of Texas. Believe it or not guys, there's snow in Texas. No, there is. Or whatever. Apparently everybody goes crazy when snow hits the ground in Texas. Can you convert those numbers?

Yeah. To Celsius, I don't know, like 30. To rest of the world number. Minus, minus 32. From 19. Okay. From 19 to 20 degrees. Got it.

To underneath freezing. Okay. There you go. It's a massive fuck. Sorry. I live in America. That's how you get sick. We're kind of contrarian about it.

Yeah. You know how else you get sick easily? Touching stuff in the subway. What else? Oh yeah. I went to the video game museum and id software makers of Doom and Rage 2, I guess. Yeah. They're in Richardson.

Wait. It's their video game museum? No. No. It's in a different location. But I think Randy Pitchford donated a lot of like. Magic cards? Video game stuff.

Oh wow. I wonder if he got those legitimately or if he stole them. Did he donate copies of Borderlands? No. So I did see the tales of the Borderlands like a poster on one of the walls. That's an amazing game. Does it deserve to be in the museum of video games? It does not.

Yes. No. It does. In the one corner next to the restroom. I think in everyone's heart there is the, I just discovered my favorite joke about fucking not Borderlands, Randy Pitchford in Gearbox in which I wanted to say, nah man they gave them all those old copies they had laying around of and I can't remember the name of the game.

Aliens Colonial Games. No. The MOBA border. What the fuck is that? Battle board. Battle board. Mother fucker. I straight up care about the name of the fucking game at all.

Battle board. It's in ready player one. Remember ready player one. And anecdote, I'm super glad that a battle born exists like this kind of whipping boy standard to which all losers can rally around. Like this is how you lose. It's funny because. Big.

Wait, but what about. Lawbreakers. Well, not even radical heights. No, I, I will maintain that battle born is a bigger example of a loser. It's not because they went out of business so fast like radical heights or whatever. Okay. That was destined to fucking fail. Okay.

An inception to whatever battle born was like we were making this before Overwatch was even out. Yeah. And they just, they were always in the background never fully dying, but just kind of existing. And the cherry on top of the disaster Sunday is, Hey everyone, we made a section of our site for you to put your porn. That. Oh God.

Money. And how to. Wait, wait, wait, wait. The last time I heard. Remember that. I remember the, Hey guys, I heard there's a porn subreddit out there. Okay. Okay.

Okay. For a second, I thought you may, I thought you were saying that they had a hosted on the official website. Iron mouse. Here's. That mushroom guy that's in battle. Officially. That heavy ripoff.

That guy is a tiny head. Yeah. I thought like we're talking about an official Chan or or boring. Okay. So let me. Battle born, boring. Okay. I just figured it out.

What I mean to say is battle born is the gill. Yeah. Sure. And I think that's a better example of a loser that someone that was one and done just came in there for a few months and just died. I still remember. So many people do that. Jim, Jim Sterling doing a video on battle born and how he tried to show, he tried to show

off battle born to a friend of his who had come over because he actually liked battle born and he just ended up recording the footage of battle born being physically unable to get into one match because there are not enough people playing the game at that time. Yeah. What? Battle Boru is fucking amazing. You guys just don't get it. You guys have no idea how strong that is.

Oh my God. Oh fuck. We have opened up a page on Iron Mouses site. Right on. Oh my God. That's a bat. See Matt, you're like there's something about like when palatable when you hit a bullseye. What are you guys talking about when you hit a bullseye, you hit a bullseye.

So I'm working on a video that mom is editing for me and I mentioned the Iron Mouses CG Shines and an editor's note was placed, it goes why the fuck do you remember this? Oh my God. That was where I got my stuff that I needed at that time. That is an ancient website. But that's where I had to go. I don't think I've ever heard someone say the name of that website out loud in person because of the deep change associated.

No. There's no porn hub at this time. I can't just put like overwatch blank. You would have to go to the CG Shines back then. The trifecta of CG Shines and like the black Goku. Yes. And is there a third pillar? I think that's it.

Demon's Bane emulation. I don't know if you ever went there. One minute left. No. High Voltage. High Voltage. Sure. Did you ever go to the FF Shines for music?

Yeah. Okay. You're right. Yeah. Like. That was the one stop shop. God damn. There's these universal constants.

Was it erisdice.org or something before? Erisdice.org was a thing or something like that. Yeah. That rings a bell. But just like things that no one ever has had a reason to verbally communicate. Why would you talk to somebody about this in person? Because the era of that internet is... Because this is a podcast that has the word smegma in the title.

That's true. That's true. It's just not the kind of thing that would normally need to be verbalized. A titty jelly or whatever the last podcast is called. Yeah. Titty jelly. Sofaning gel. Oh yeah.

Sofaning gel. You got it. We used too much of it. I got to make a podcast title thumbnail for this thing. Well you already got it. Shit. There we go. Sorry I pushed the envelope.

My CG Shines. Thanks for making my job easier. Oh the envelope's all soggy because of the titty gel. The titty gel. The curvy titty gel. So yeah. All right. That'll soften that envelope.

Where do you want to pass the baton? Alpha. Let's go with Matt. Matt, how's your week? Hey what up. I just played a few things. Finished the Spider-Man DLC Turf Wars. How was it?

It's worse than the first one. It's still Spider-Man. It's not bad but it has the least going on in terms of story. It's very, very simple. It has a new Spider-Bot mission which is quite good. It was funny. It was entertaining. It used the gimmick of controlling a little bot around into a very target-rich environment.

That was really cool. The new Spider-Armor Mark I, the silver one from the 90s, it's amazing. It's like that's the costume. The screenshots didn't really impress me. No, it's the gifts that are impressive. No, when you look at it like full-on and you turn the camera around, it's so cool. It's the reflections that do it for that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And of course you get the regular Spider-Armor from Civil War. Regular Civil War. And you already have the arms for the thing. It still sucks. These DLCs do not have associated powers with these new suits. I'm not expecting them to make big, huge, elaborate powers that require tons of new shit. Maybe variants or some type of modifications. You don't have to balance if you don't add that type of content.

That's why I'm saying variants on something that already exists so you know the quantities involved. I think that would help. There's a lot less to chew on here. It's just got to stop Hammerhead. That's it. Hammerhead's bad. He's not even that bad. His boss fight's bad.

It's a boss fight against him who's very tough. He has a bunch of really fast attacks. There's about 50 other guys that are attacking you and it was not fun to do. Oh, that sounds great. When I made a video about it, a lot of people, I'm like, oh man, everyone's going to say how I botched that. Everyone's like, no, this is a bad fight and it requires multiple restarts of me trying to play it. I'm like, okay, you're still bad, man, but I did it much better. Because there's two types of bosses in that game.

There's the cinematic boss that has a unique ability and then there's the super goon. He's a super goon with exo armor. Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. If he's a super goon, then yeah, that's going to be boring. Still though, it has some great, great dialogues and great moments with Miles. Further pushes Miles and Peter's situation together. There was no Mary Jane mission, which now that it's missing, I'm like, I wish it had it now. Yeah, okay, I see that.

You know what I mean? Because the first DLC had Mary Jane mission that was fine because she had all her shit from the end of the game. So she had the taser head, whatever. And I'm like, I actually kind of missed that now. Still though, I had fun playing it. The screwball is back for a third time. Huh? Yeah.

The girl with the YouTube page. Okay. She was in the main game. Then she got out of jail for the first DLC. Oh, my fans. And I never finished that her section of the game of like her screwball missions. And they go to the third time. The only thing I'm happy about is I'm assuming in the third DLC, like you'll crush her skull.

Yeah. She'll die. One would hope. For the views. For the views. So yeah, no, I still enjoyed it, but it took me two hours and I didn't do everything. I didn't do all the hammerhead bases, which seemed to give you a little bit of story like a little cut scene each time, but they're nothing major.

So there's that. I played. I watched the quiet man. Oh, yeah. Being played. Hmm. Yeah. You're good things.

What else did I do this week? Yeah. I hear good things about the quiet man. I will say there's been a low rumbling roar beneath our channel for a while. That is the quiet man. I will say that it's like it's such a weird thing that game for anyone that doesn't know the quiet man is like a $20 game, which I was assumed it was this $80 game where you it's an action brawler with tons of live action cinematic moments of real actors.

And the game is completely in silence for the most part. You hear some little thumps and rumbles or whatever. And it botches this so bad in execution because the ideas look cool. And I'm just going to say this one thing. That kid you hung out in high school with at lunchtime is the guy that is the main character. Kind of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen a lot of people say that he's a discount Leon because of the hair.

Sure. His hair is way dorkier than Leon's. Yeah. I like the idea of your main character being deaf and not being able to hear. What I don't like is when the character is not in the room, it's still in silence. It's fucking stupid. That's actually a lazy in the sense that you just didn't want to put all the audio in for the scenes that he's not in.

But they did, Matt. That's the new game plus. They did. When you finish the game, it says play the game again, but now with audio. But instead of doing that, I think it would be a more interesting experiment that if the quiet man's in the room, his name is Dane, by the way, it should be silent. And it should be edited in such a way that it doesn't have long ass scenes of people talking with no audio.

Because again, they're too lazy to edit that out because that has no value. That has zero entertainment value. Watching someone unless you're a lip reader, which I'm not. So those scenes when he's not in, I'd say there's like two or three scenes where people are talking and he's not in the room and it's still in silence. It's stupid. I would like you to cherry, like, do little drops of story to give, okay, that's a hint. I can kind of, hmm, I wonder if I can figure out what's happening now.

And just a little bit. So whenever he's not in the room, when characters that can fully speak and hear each other can talk and I'm like, huh, that's not where I thought it was going. And give you just a little bit enough to ascertain what's happening. Because the end of the game, the last fight is the craziest thing you're not expecting. I'm not even going to say what it even entails, but I'm just like, what? So the idea of it on paper sounds interesting with that whole concept. What you just described is making me think of that.

What's that Guy Ritchie movie? The most recent one with the driver. No, Edgar Wright. Baby Driver. Baby Driver. Baby Driver. It's not even remotely on the same thing. Okay.

Well, he has a slight buzzing in his ears. He can hear everybody. But you just think. But of course, it's not the same condition. What I mean is like having something where when the character shows up, the sound of what everyone else would hear, what the real world would be changes because this character is deaf. Yeah.

So playing with it in that way would have been interesting. Yes. But no movie studio ever would be sane enough to be like, yeah, have no dialogue. No subtitles either. Yeah. But this game forces you. You cannot play the new game plus mode by itself. No.

You have to finish the game first. Well, that's the extra value. But and also the fighting is not great. If one thing I could take like this fighting is worse than Def Jam fight for New York where it's supposed to have environmental interaction and it does, but it's so lame. Like it's like throw a guy against a counter and like a kitchen counter and you punch him. And then he kind of he just reacts to the counter a little bit more. I've seen many gifts of what I want to call inverted punch lasers.

Yes. You are crossing up guys from across the room sometimes. Like, oh man. Yeah. Yeah. Aside from that, I also started and finished watching the new Shira animated series on Netflix. How was it? I only saw two episodes.

I really enjoyed it. How many episodes is it? It's 10, I think. I really enjoyed it. It has a lot of the feel from Avatar The Last Bender. The last Bender. No. Shut up.

That's way better. Buy my Shawnee Metal Ass. Okay. Podcast title. Avatar The Last Bender. Anyway. Avatar The Last Bender. Okay.

The way the characters interact with each other, the style of humor is similar. But as I was watching, I was like, is this going to be a beat for beat sort of thing? Like, not really because it does the smarter thing of not it being a journey from point A to point B, which is all avatars. Well, the first one anyway. Well, yeah. But it's more like there's two warring kingdoms. Just for like funsy's sake, I forgot that regular Shiras on Netflix too, 80 Shira.

Right. And holy shit is that unwatchable. Right. And not compared to the other one. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's all that's that's what most things were. Shiba in Shira and Sundar the Barbarian were not very good.

Holy shit. What is interesting even in the old Shira is just like the fact that it's a crossover where they're like, oh, for the honor of Grayskull and what's Eternia. And it's like back then that's still cool and ambitious to do where you have two series. Yeah. One's with the crossover. Yeah. But it's just interesting to see it.

And they do it here. Some of the characters are a little bit annoying in the first few episodes like the first three episodes, but once everyone like just like chooses a side because it's a war between one kingdom and another and both have propaganda for this one's evil. No, this one's evil. So there's a lot of friends that are caught in the middle. There's some really standout characters, Katra and Scorpia. The bad guy.

God, I forget his name, but if you saw this guy from the old Shira, you'd be like, I've seen this guy before. Yeah, I know exactly who you're talking about. You know the face, but not the title. And honestly, I forget his name because unfortunately with one thing I could say that was actually not great. This entire season, this guy never does anything. Is this Hordak or what's his name?

Horak. Yeah. Horak. All right, there you go. The Hordak. I don't know. Whatever. He's always on view screens, walks into a room, says you disappointed me and leaves.

Never actually does anything. That's very Queen Barrel of him. It is. And for something like Sailor Moon that has dozens and dozens of episodes, that's the long game. But for this, I'm assuming there's going to be a second season because it sets itself up for it. Not too cringy, but I was just like, I'd like him to do something in the last episode at

least, but he doesn't really do anything. But yeah, no, I enjoyed it overall. Someone only said something about Thundar. Going back to old cartoons like Gauntar and the Golden Lance and Herculoids and all these classic. Herculoids. Yeah, like cartoons. I'm like, damn it.

I don't want to open that part of these old shows. Dude. So wait, are you more of the 80s kid or were you like more of the 90s? 80s and 90s probably. Yeah, because I think I've watched most of the old shows. Because I had. How do you feel about stunt dogs? I know.

I never watched it. Damn it. I never heard of it until you just said it. Back in Grenada, like we had like the Hanna-Barbera power hour basically. Yeah. Oh yeah. And all the non-popular Hanna-Barbera shit would come running out, including Thundar, the fucking barbarian.

Barbarian. Yeah. I never watched it. I didn't watch it. With two Rs. If you know the title. Fucking watchable. You know one I'm sure we never watched, but we probably would all mark out over is Silver

Hawks. Yeah. Silver Hawks. It's just guys with like vehicles that are various types of birds and animals and they're all, I don't know. Dead and Ring of Bell. Exactly. There's a space cowboy.

There's a space cowboy in there. And humanoids would be my thing. I mean we got, when it comes to, when you say vehicles, I think of mask. Yeah, mask. Right. I didn't even watch mask. I was, yeah, mask was before my time as well. Did you guys watch Centurions?

Did you guys watch Centurions? Centurions. No. Oh no. On Saber Riders as well. Saber Riders. Star Sheriffs. Star Sheriffs.

Yeah. I watched that too. So when Woolly was in Grenada, I was living in the Philippines. So they probably had similar like trash shows being ported like locally because. No quality filter. No quality filter. No quality filter. Yeah.

It's just a shovel. The like less popular ones in there, you know. And humanoids was underground kaiju and it'd be like a gigantic muck monster look like the man thing from Marvel and there'd be guys that wear little exosuits to try to combat them and they would always come out of the ground or come out of caves and swamps. Yeah. And then when I say kaiju, they're like, yeah, they're like 50, 100 feet tall and there are toys.

And it was just something that was on the fringes of like available in Canada. I think I might have seen it as a kid, but I remember having a storybook of it. See, that's a monster's were were scary. They're scary fucking stories. Like, yeah. The difference between the shows we got in fucking Grenada was like, okay, how do we fill for fucking time and just put these kids in front of a TV and whatever versus up here where it's like, can we sell these toys at your local toys or us?

No, then we're not putting it on the air. You know, I remember Pirates of Darkwater, too. Pirates of fucking Darkwater, absolutely with Ren. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Ren. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Monkey bird. What's it called? Yeah. There you go. Oh, man, because they just snake guy with the sword breaker.

Oh, man. They just copied a really good song. Oh, did they? Yeah. What song? Same thing for them. What song are they stealing? Knights of the Zodiac.

Uh, Saint Seiya, you know, like shit like that, where you're just like, you just fucking pick awesome music. Yeah. When they ported Saint Seiya to us. When they ported it. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah, that was me.

That was my week. Right on. Okay. Baton. You. Okay. I'm shocked. Hey, well then.

It doesn't matter. Like, it's going to happen. It's going to happen. You can't stop. It's inevitable, guys. It's building up. Yeah. Uh, I had.

That is shaking uncontrollably. That is so bad. There was a week that occurred. What I did was I played some dead cells this week. I went back to that. I played a little bit of that. I saw that you played that on stream. Did you turn on the fucking Twitch fucks with you mode?

Yes. How bad is that? So that's what I wanted to know is because I went back to dead cells after playing, played a bunch of it back in the day and, um, made some good progress. And I made the mistake of not ending on a death when I, when I played it most recently, I got really far. I got further than I ever have like multiple levels later and I had a really crazy, uh, set going, uh, good run.

And, uh, I was like, okay, well, like before I do any bullshit Twitch modes, I have to fucking finish this off. Finish this off. Exactly. So I use that as a warmup. And, uh, yeah, like we, it was, it was fine. Like there's some, there's some really cool shit that a lot of people will never see because it's way later.

Oh yeah. Yeah. For sure. There's a lot of cool weapon types and, um, unlocks that you have to really build, uh, for a while before you get access to them. But the game is built to kind of last with that roguelike element because the issue that I had with dead cells as I fell off of it is that I couldn't stand the feel of a bunch of the early weapon types.

The only one I liked was the generic sword. Interesting. I liked a lot of them. Like, and it bummed me out. I like those blood daggers. I thought the, the broadsword combo was really fun. I liked the, uh, the daggers as well. Twin daggers.

Yeah. Twin daggers was great. Kunai, like there's the electricity, the frost blast. Oh, the frost blast. Frost blast. You just fucking do a Hadoken. Freeze. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.

Freeze. Bam, bam, bam. It's really fun. So, um... It's a lot like one of Dante's, uh, magic spells. Dante's Inferno. Oh, yes. Of course.

The, the, the true Dante. The true Dante. He came way before... The true Dante. Quite frankly, the Dante, the other Dante is the real Dino. If you think about it. If you think about it. Then who's Dino?

That's Dino. But... Dino. If Dante... Okay, wait. So, Dante is Dante, and Dante is Dino. Yes. Then Dino is...

Dino. D... Because he's Dino in name only. So he's... Oh, oh. Oh, he's Dino in name only. Yes, that's correct. Okay.

Got it? Good. So... Okay. Okay. Yeah. Confuse the pat. Keep going.

Simple. So, uh, yeah, then the Twitch fucks with you mode. Yeah, what does it do? Is pretty interesting. It does a lot of things, right? So the main thing is, right off the bat, every level, it picks a random person in the chat to be a little chicken that follows you around. Okay, interesting.

That chicken will be able to one, heal you when you want, or when you don't want. You have no control over your estus, right? But can you heal you infinitely? Like, does it have a limit? No. You have... You have the same limit of healing, but you have no control over what you're using. And you're just passing it off to somebody on a five-second delay.

So cat... Yeah, so the chicken captain is the buddy, and like, they can, uh, they heal you, or you can request a heal, but you can't, you know, control it, right? They can message you, like, a text box appears, and they can tell you things, right, based on whatever's going on in the chat, or what people want, or whatever. They can just, you know, play and do that. And they get other randomized abilities, depending on what the role is before the gate, the level loads out.

So they can get attacks, for example, where they do like a little electric shock to like enemies nearby. They have little passive abilities, more or less, but they're just a little buddy helper floating behind you. But that's not it. That's not it. That's just one thing. Oh, wow.

Okay. So, the other thing you can do is you have all power-ups where you grab, um, like a scroll that, like, you pick one of the three things, whether you want a level-up green, red, or purple. Uh, those are all now completely controlled by the chat. So as soon as you grab a scroll, your level-up process, everyone has to type in the chat to vote on which one wins out, or get down. Exactly.

So you don't control your upgrades at all. That's crazy. I didn't even know the game, was this added later? It was. The standard version. It was not in the early access. They added, you know. Did it come out on release?

I feel like it did. It's out of early access now. No, no, no. I mean, like, the game released and I had the Twitch stuff. Oh, um, I don't know. I don't remember. I don't know if and when it was an update or not, but they kept updating that game for a while.

But yeah, the hard-hitting hero, as he's named, never forget, uh, can basically pick up these scrolls where you don't control your upgrades. The chat has to vote on them, right? Additionally, they can vote on where they want you to go next. So the doors that are leading to multiple levels, they will vote on a location for you to go. You can ignore them and go to a place that you don't want, uh, you can go wherever you want.

But if you ignore the chat's voted door, then they can punish you for it. What's the punish? Well, one I got, for example, was poison. So kill enemies to heal. And when you're not killing anything, you're dying out. You, you drop, it brings you, you drops your life to like nothing, right? Wow. So like you can get a huge punishment if you don't fucking like choose the door.

Like, like a year or two ago, I streamed a party hard and that had Twitch integration. Yeah. That was like, you know, you had like, you had to kill like 15 people in the level and then chat was able to vote to send in 50 zombies. Okay. Okay. Yeah. And messed up everything.

I did something similar. I think I talked about it like six months ago or more where vermin tied to has a similar integration and vermin tied to is just left for dead, but with rats. And the problem with that is that like it's vote. Does everyone on the team get healing items or spawn 10 mutants? Okay. Yeah. Guess what the chat picks every time.

Every time. Yeah. A lot of these games become like unmanageable and unwinnable when chat fucking hates your guts. So all of your challenge chests, right that you find or like they are like the big green chests and stuff become Twitch chests, basically, and like you open it up and there's an elite waiting right next to it, basically. And then it spawns a bunch of ads and bullshit that you have to fight spawn Kappa's face

and then once you kill the elite, like the chat has to help you destroy the chest by typing in sound effects, like bam, can they type in JoJo sound effects? I don't think they can type in or a or a or a no, I don't think so. But like everyone types in sound effects and then those all those sound effects attack the chest. That's great. That's cool. And then until it when it hits enough, when I get the chest gets hit enough times, it

cracks open and you get the reward, you know, that seems a little much. Yeah, but it's like that's open up a chest. Yeah, but that's what but like if the chat decides, fuck you, we're not giving you the chest, then you don't get it feel like they're part of the adventure point of Twitch integration. Exactly. So those are the main things that come to mind. And there's a list of other things as well, like there's a full checklist that you can go down and like turn them on and off if you want.

But like those were the main ones I noticed going through it. Yeah, it's a really fun and fresh take on things because after playing it and getting used to the patterns and getting used to the layout, you kind of know what's coming for the most part. You just go like, OK, well, the shape of the level is different, but you know, you know what you're going to encounter everywhere. So you're like, I want a mutator, but I want a mutator that I really can't control because it's human.

And this is this is the your best bet for that. Because you you mentioned that this is like something we didn't realize was either in the main game or as patch later, just because I don't want to forget it. I played a little bit more of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Oh, yeah. They just patched in something that I'm like, holy shit. They either patch it in or it's just unlocked at this level of the game. I don't know.

But hey, do you really like the way this armor looks? That got passed in. That that was the best. You like the stats of this armor. Yeah. They're patched in. Fuck. Full on trans and small because I got the Amazonian legendary outfit, which just makes her look

like Wonder Woman. Yeah. I never want to take that off ever. And now I don't have to. Yeah. Because I can just take the stats of this really high, high, even higher level armor. I'm like, that that is awesome. The main thing is that like, there's a shit ton of like legendary, like gold sets in that

game. You can't do anything with it. But often you well, you can upgrade them to your current level. You can't sell them. You can't dismantle them. Yeah. And upgrading them to your current level is like enormously expensive. Like it's crazy.

The resources and money. Yeah. Every game that has stats on equipment and you can see the equipment needs to have transmog and helmet off. Well, you said you bought it recently, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So there you go. You jumped in the right time. Yeah. Cause like, fuck yeah. Anyway, sorry. No, that's that's that's great. That's that's the fucking that's one that no matter what the game is, you see that in the patch notes and it's like, yeah, because my Cassandra fuck pile of shit currently the

way I left her. So if you got rid of shit that you liked the look of it, but you could wear it because it was shitty in stats because it got the armor of like a legendary Greek hero. Like I'm not going to say which one be like his his armor is in there and I'm like, oh, it looks great, but it's stats weren't amazing because I had like leveled. I kind of over leveled past it, but it looked so awesome. I like I might switch back about you, but you remember when everyone was complaining about the grind and how like it's hard to keep up with the game's leveling structure?

Like I keep going to do story quests. I don't have enough levels. Like I find myself massively over leveled for everything in that game. I at a certain point I became like over like over leveled, not like maybe to say five levels above most things, but I did try to travel to an area where like shit was real and like I got onto this beach and just everyone just started turning towards me and looking at me and I'm like, I just need to grab this one thing. I'm gonna go.

I'm gone. I know the exact fucking beach you're talking about is the south end of the fucking Mediterranean. The Mediterranean bit right near the beginning, uh, southeast, I want to say, yeah, so anyway, trying not to dry. I grow. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I'm just tiptoeing.

Take one, put one toe onto the beach and you feel the heads turn. So the other thing I did was I played some, I went back to Crypt of the Necker dancer and that's a game I haven't gone back to in a minute, but I picked up all that DLC because they added the Dangan Rampa music. I don't know about that. They added like a but, um, overclocked remix music. Do they have a lot of tunes from Ultra to Spare Girls? They got, they got no who knew that seems like a good choice.

So when you go back to that in its final state, um, you have the original amazing soundtrack and then like at least nine other remix sets for every level and you can just set it to random and just go through those, those stages and it's just, they're all good. Like every single one, like Vert has a fucking amazing set on it, uh, Arrival, Family Jewels, are they all the same BPM? Are they different BPMs? Um, so they, the, the, the, the BPM changes good, right? It actually changes depending on which, which one you're, you're picking.

In some cases, it's like more sped up or, yeah, they're all, cause the game lets you use custom music. So you can even load in your own music. And that'll change the BPM as well. So it's, yeah, fucking just awesome, awesome experience with that. Uh, man, when you forget how to fight certain enemies, like you really have to like, there's a bit of a, uh, almost like an instant math puzzle happening in like recognize how the, the enemy comes at you on the squares and like figure out how to be in the right place

on the right beat while not breaking your combo. Cause you can wait around and do it like the, the easy way, which I had to do at the end cause I was getting like fucking wrecked, but by, if you could, if you stand around and wait for something to get to the right tile, you can hit it and kind of play safe. But if you're trying to play stylish, it means you never stop moving. You always move on the beat. And so sometimes you have to kind of like pop back and forth. And if you move into the wrong square right while the enemy's about to move into that

square, then you take damage. That was the main problem that I had is that I, I for some reason couldn't allow my brain to do it the easy way ever. Which caused me to eat shit all the time, so I wasn't good enough to do it the good way. It's, and it's really, it's one of those things where it's like, it's super optional. You could, it's like, it's almost like using items in a, in a platinum game. You're kind of like, I could just do this and beat the stage, but fuck it.

I want to keep the beat going. And then you die and you go, God damn it. I would have, I could have just did still. So um, yeah, it's, it's, they, it's really, really fun to go back to that. And uh, there's all those characters you unlock. Like I switched over to the monk at the end. And the monk has an interesting thing where it's all items are free, all pickups are free. But if you touch gold, you die.

Ha! Oh shit. Wow. Right? So a vow of poverty. So every time you kill something and it drops gold, you can't fucking touch it. That, that is a goofy, is a simple, simple thing, right? It's fucking hard.

Because every single time your brain, you've been trained, you've been trained like all your life, like as a video game, like, like player, and like in some cases you're killed something in a hallway and then you have to dig a hole around through the wall around the goal to keep moving. Like gold is death, right? And if you walk into a death room where there's a lot of stuff and you kill them and you leave gold behind, the gold is lava. Yeah.

You can't touch those, those tiles anymore. So God, it gets really fucking, you know, I, I like died instantly, like three times it went, wow. Shit. You know, so like, yeah man, love that, love that fucking good stuff. Don't get those Mario coins, just leave them alone. Don't touch. Don't touch.

That's decades of, of like trope memory fighting against your reflexes. Like I think the original side scrolling Duke Nukem's had like collected gold. Yeah, I believe they did as well. Or some type of like, you know, brightly colored collectible. To get gold for your nephew, Commander Keen. Yeah. And so the last thing I did was there was a tourney on Sunday. Did you win?

I did not. I went, I went for casuals. Where was the tourney? So there's a new venue. It's up. It was up near, there's a venue near Papino. Okay. That's different than what I thought.

Yeah. I forget the exact name of it. There was like a mini convention somewhere in Montreal on Sunday. I was like, what? Okay. No, no, this wasn't it. I saw a bunch of Bozettes and I was like, hey, oh, this isn't bad. Oh, that was it.

Anyway, so. Yeah. No, it was, it was just kind of like an anime focused tourney. So, but, but like Tekken was out there and Soul Calibur was out there and stuff. So, you know, I wanted to do some casuals and like played a little bit of season two Tekken and stuff. And, you know, there's the wall bounces now and all the new moves and Anna's in it. And yeah, Negan out.

Yeah. Negan is not out yet. Darn. But Negan has come in. He's just laid off in the show because everyone's getting killed off recently, except for when a helicopter flies in and takes you away to the to the fucking spinoff movies. That shit.

What was the point? What are you talking about? Explain what you are talking about because it sounds bad. If you have concern for spoilers with the walking dead, then you should stop listening now. So fucking Rick Grimes main character of the walking dead decides he's leaving the show, right? It's been eight thousand seasons. It's about time to wrap it up. You mean the actor?

The dude's done. OK, I'm out of here. Therefore, Rick is done. OK, that's the problem. That's the main character. But that's your main character. That's the main character. What are you going to do?

What are you going to do? So Rick has to make a decision where there's a bridge and then there's all the Zambos coming and then like all the innocent people are there. And it's like, oh, no, if I don't do something real quick, I got like we're going to blow. We got to blow the bridge up. But oh, no, it's not working. Oh, fuck. Rick, I got to go be Jesus.

Time to go be Jesus. OK, I'm Rick Grimes. So Rick Jesus Grimes goes and manually blows up. And there's a character in the show that's literally named Jesus. It's the Jesus guy. Manually blows up the fucking bridge or whatever and does the sacrifice to save everybody, right, so that all the Zambos can't can't get to the innocent. They stole that from World Wars.

And then it's like, oh, but plus he would plus he was shot before that or whatever the fuck. So he was already in junior. They want to stole that from the mountain pass. And then it's like, oh, man, that's the that's the end of Rick Grimes. What a cool guy hero. Except for the helicopter that comes out of nowhere and flies him out of the situation and out of the moon, out of the fucking series, literally not over.

Literally strangers, completely unknown, fly into the series, pick up the main character and fly him away. And it's not at Rick's not over because he signed a deal to do a bunch of spinoff movies straight to theaters. So the way straight to theaters. Yes. What kind of a weird phrasing is that as opposed to like TV, AMC movies or whatever. Yeah.

So they're like, we're going to spin a bunch of shoot a bunch of Rick spinoff movies before he goes because you are going out like that. So your main character gets fucking airlifted out of the show. I'm probably going to be wrong about this, but they're never going to make a fucking spinoff movie. Frank Derbos. He's not going to be spinning in his brain the most see you later fuckers that it's ever been.

So you know when you complete certain house of the dead games and they'll say like, choose your route. And then the actor that plays Rick Grimes is at this like zombie infested like a camp and it says there's two arrows point. It says spin off movies or spin off movies. And he has no one else to go to shoot both of them. Yeah, like I referenced him. But again, spoilers for like a walking episode that just happened.

It whatever the guy that plays Jesus. Yeah, just got killed. OK, because he's been complaining for like two seasons. I want to get off the show. Please kill me off. My character does so much cool shit in the comic books and you don't let me do any of it. Oh, they know that's a way. You saying the Jesus character came over and he's lame.

He does. He has he does lame shit. Great. Well, to the actor's opinion. Yeah, I'm doing all. So I read an article today that he was like actor as characters killed off and walking dead actor sites good. And you look down the interview, the rest of these like it was an incredible show to work on. Thank you for the opportunity. But I'm very happy I'm gone.

There's something really wild about a project when people are like fucking kill my character. I want to please God. But there's now a new level, though, where better than killing the character is faulting them out of the show. We have a new layer. That being said, even though I don't watch Walking Dead, really, I read a thing that since Rick Grimes like is gone, the show's been getting better and better.

But the the the viewership is going downwards. Of course, it is now. Apparently, it's getting scarier and weirder, which is like because without this character, like they're like, we got to be because there's a time jump to. Yeah. And things and things are changing. And I heard something about, oh, the Zombo's might not be what you think. I go on websites like horror websites and stuff.

Like this was the best episode of Walking Dead in like eight seasons or whatever. It gets really good around the year eight. Yeah, you have to. But that you have to realize that the AMC has nothing else. This is the ultimate. I think they have stuff, but we don't just we just don't. They had Breaking Bad and they like a good show. It's like, oh, we should stop.

Yeah, they're looking at a prequel and better call Saul. Yeah, but that but but but yeah, but guess what? That's on Netflix as well. So it's like, you don't have to get AMC to watch that, you know, everyone learned their lesson. Anyway, yeah, whatever. That's hilarious. What?

Who even cares? I don't know. Negan, Tekken, Tekken. There you go. Season two. So I put down Rick Grimes' full ton extraction on the possible podcast titles. And you're ruining it. It should be a surprise.

And so after the attorney after three of them, I had to pick one. Oh, my God, you're obsessed. The the. We are. I'm pretty sure we've already said it in, but but regardless, with the tour with the tournament, it's playing some more soul caliber and going in and kind of playing like with, you know, people that have been warmed up

and are in there and doing it and whatnot. Um, there is there's some some cool stuff about that game that I'm enjoying the the pacing of and such, but you really get to feel after putting some a little bit more time in how awful that menu system is. It's in fact the the the quality of life stuff that fighting games have gotten are all completely absent in this game. And then it goes even further backwards.

I know the game has been out for a couple of weeks, but it's still ridiculous. They haven't come up with some sort of solution for the creative. So we've talked about the creative soul at length about how bad that is. It's probably the worst I've ever seen in a game. How like one of your best features is completely gimped by the inability to actually use it.

But on a more basic level, like there's the simple thing like let me set my buttons before we go into the fight. No, no, can't do that. Got to go in first. All right, great. And even before that, there is when you're on the titles menu to get to local versus you've got to dig because you have to like you from that main menu, you've got to go down to the the local mode and then like it's like there's like two or three menus

deep of like where a local multiplayer is like versus mode. It's a weird thing. Just menus just in a fighting game. A good menu is like PS two. What the hell? Yeah, it is two or three. It's two or three layers deep, right? And then when you get to it and you confirm it, the options go from one versus CPU to CPU versus CPU.

Player versus players. The only last we're going to go for UI. And then the last last option is player versus player of like the four that are available. And it's like, why do I have to dig for the basic ass to player arcade experience? You know, first thing when you hit local, it should just it should be a quick button. You know, I mean, at least primary button on the main menu.

It's so weird that it's not, you know, like you want to emphasize that that thing. So yeah, there's just little weird things like that. And it's like, guys, you really need to overhaul these two things. When you play a fighting game, the menu should rest on the button versus versus. And then it should be online and local. And which one which one you decide to put first is developer preference. But that should be it. And then in this case, put create a soul and then drop all the other shit

beneath that. But yeah, it's it's it's super weird. And I really hope that like we get a UI patch. I don't think that's going to happen. I know it's never going to have a fancy art in that menu. And no soul caliber has ever gotten a soul caliber. Dark Resurrect, no soul caliber has ever gotten support after its release. You know, there's there's DLC characters and content. But we've never gotten a kind of like an arcade plus version or no.

Yeah, exactly. Whatever. So, you know, go buy Skullgirls instead. It's two ninety nine. Is it really? I think so. Or one ninety nine. Skullgirls. Guys, I work on Skullgirls disclaimer, full disclaimer. I work on that game. Someone sounds biased towards a great fighting game.

I don't know about that. I'm just shilling my friends and not making money off of it. Because that because Skullgirls is one of the de facto examples of look at these quality of life improvements that people then had to do because you set the standard. Basically, more quality than your life knew it needed. Skullgirls. Yeah, Z fucking never never sleeps. Mike Z never sleeps. He just works all the time.

That's why he's the way he is as being like this robotic crazy. Oh, that's why he's like that. Yeah, he's just, you know, he's he's a workaholic. Like he doesn't I don't know how Skullgirls got made if it weren't for Mike Z. Like he basically just, you know, made half of the game. Skullgirls budget. Go ahead. Like it had so many quality of life features that it went outside of its own game to give quality of life features to other games.

Yeah, in that. Yeah. Bled out with that. Yeah, like the case. Press hold to like select or what's it called? Like press. Press hold, press hold. Starts as fast as possible. Yep. Yeah, there you go.

It is the the highest tier of quality of life of any fighting game by a country mile. Like I didn't know this was a problem, but you fixed it. We get Skullgirls third strike. Is that a possibility? Can we get? I don't know. You better ask. No, that was second on game second. But you see what we have to go through, though, now is and it's still stupid

that we're we're dealing with this, but it's like there's the obvious stuff in this existing product that people can now play and see how great you can make the quality of life and fighting games. And then there is the language barrier, dev barrier, company barrier, company culture, legal barrier, all of it going over to Japanese fighting game makers. We will just do it our way. Plus, they're doing it their own way, which the way they've done it for

many years. We know how to do it. And then you don't you don't get anything. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. Speaking of not getting anything. So people assume that I got paid for my work on Skullgirls. So Skullgirls, the pre-alphas was scrapped twice.

And I work on the alpha. Do you mean the work that was done before you showed up? Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no, fuck you, Pat. Damn it. Um, no. So before Mike Z came in, um, there were two versions of Skullgirls. And these were like, you know, we were just trying to make a dojin game.

Shut the fuck up, Pat. I could see you on the fucking. This is an audio medium, Alpha. Oh, god damn. So Pat's like, giggling an idiot here. And I'm like, it's funny because at the beginning, I'm like, is this really real? Is this how William Pat talk? Like it's it's not a show.

It's actually real, guys. Like I get implore you who the fuck told you that you were going to get anything different off Mike than you had. I just had out of your mind when we turned on the podcast, like I think one of the first things that I said was like, Hey, Alpha, you want to talk about bees? Oh fuck. We can talk about your pet. But yeah, anyway, Skullgirls, um, yeah, I wasn't paid for any of those.

I only got paid when Robo Fortune came out. So that's like a 10 year, 11 year gap of like how passionate these developers are to make this game from the Konami debacle to what else? Like, to the delisting, to the autumn games thing, to, you know, the whole Def Jam rap star thing and all that stuff. Like, yeah, it was a, you know, these guys worked their butts off like, like crazy. And then and then and not to don't forget like them's fighting herds as well. Like, yeah, like helping them out.

Yeah, it's it's not. It's it's kind of like, um, there are a few other games, you know, that that fit into this category, but like it's that tail end of quality that just keeps going to the point where like someone new can't help but be overwhelmed by all the stuff going on. I imagine Shovel Knight, you know, and the way that that yacht club had treated Shovel Knight in its post release and continues to treat Shovel Knight as post release.

And I, you know, I'm having a hard time thinking of many other games that have that type of tail end, you know, but it really is. A holonite with one of them. A holonite is I got a lot. Yeah. War, like what, $50,000 of a budget. That's crazy. Warframe, Warframe, Warframe.

That's true. That's true. But they do keep getting new money. So that counts. Uh, yeah, man. But anyway, that's that's that's about that. There you go. Yeah. Should we get into the news?

Are you not doing this? You are not doing this. Yeah, you're right. Okay. Um, so let's we had sponsors though. We totally have sponsors. We should. Those are.

We'll talk about our wonderful sponsors. Don't talk about bees or cubes. Just let you don't know what we're being sponsored by. You have no idea. And we will find out what those sponsors are very soon. Yes. In just one second. In just one second, we will say that, hey, this week,

the podcast is sponsored by a way away. And I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm fucking I'm happy to see this back because I got I can say many things away. It's happening is what's happening. It's it's the suitcase luggage. Oh, yeah. OK, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the carry on bags and such. The name just slipped my mind.

Yes, this holiday season away as the perfect gift for everyone on your list away creates thoughtful standards for modern travel with universal pieces that reflect your personal travel style and make every trip more seamless. They've considered all types of travelers and making their carry on bags, which are available in two sizes and come with an optional ejectable battery, literally the one that's charging my phone right now,

like by complete like an utter random coincidence because it's that useful. Yeah, because it's very clear. You didn't check these ads right before we started. But literally no long to find them. But literally, like like that. Just saying included in the carry on case and they feature for 360 degrees spinner wheels are removable, washable laundry bag.

TSA approved combination lock interior compression system that lets you pack more. The battery also a dejectable battery lets you charge your phone up to five times. Yeah, so shop the away carry ons and away signature German polycarbonate or aluminum alloy. That sounds efficient and strong. That's both are guaranteed for life.

Now, now straight up the away carry on case that I have, like no, no, like completely straight honest. It's the best fucking carry on I've used, like this battery thing has saved my life. Infinite times being in the case on the outside. You don't worry about bullshit charging to the airport. And then it's like all the motherfuckers have stolen all the outlets. Yes, your shit is more important.

Exactly. My shit is more important than your shit. Right. And more than a couple of times, like I carry the carry on my phone charging in my pocket. I put it above and then just pop the battery out and people around are like, yo, what's that? Well, that guy was hit. He's going on over there. There you go. In the case, you've got a little foldable bag

that basically becomes smaller than the size of your fist. But it flips out into a dirty laundry bag so that it hangs out of your out of your luggage when you're set up in your hotel room or whatever. And it zips up at the bottom and you've got a laundry bag built in right there, always tucked, convenient. It's got the dividers. It's like legitimately and I always just put my dirty laundry

on top of my clean laundry. This sounds like a better solution. It's a way better solution. It's got the lock on it and it's got that extra little system where like, yeah, you pack your stuff in and then you it extends so that you can get a little bit more. You can cram a little bit more in and then zip in, tighten it up. And it's like efficient as fuck.

It's a great carry on. So that's real. And for now, for $20 off a suitcase, you can visit away travel dot com slash friendcast and use promo code friendcast during checkout. That's away travel dot com slash friendcast and use promo code friendcast during checkout for the 20 for $20 off a suitcase

because this season, everyone wants to get away. Ah, no legit. It's a fucking amazing suitcase for real. Like it's super good. Thanks away. Thanks away. Thank you. Way on board with that. We on board with the way. All right.

So I open up my suitcase and bees fly out. All right, so let me actually just give you a really quick rundown of how I appreciate you of how the nonsense led to bees. The nonsense led to bees due to me misspeaking. All right, I'm out. I'm just kidding. Good. I'm quite fond of saying words bad as people well know. So the long and short of it is that I started arguing with people on Twitter.

This is a thing that occurs occasionally. It gives you like week. Yes. Occasionally, I have become very empowered and near high with the argument on Twitter. Talk about Hunter, Hunter. Don't talk about the bees. Talk about the cubes, Pat. Damn it. Talk about God and how cool his hair style.

I did that last week, Alpha. Just talk about it again with the podcast. You bet. Damn it. No, I'm talking about talking about more. So camera and camera and I know we talked about this. Anyway, when somebody said, Pat, why are you so surprised that the bees stung you when you kicked the hornet's nest?

And I replied, oh, don't worry, man. I meant to say I put on my beekeeper suit today. I unfortunately said, don't worry, I put on my bee suit today. Thus led to a bunch of Photoshop's of my head on baby's costumes of bees. Got it. This led to me going, that's fucking hilarious and changing my Twitter to reflect my new love of bees.

Great. Cubes came later as I became tired of bees and I actually just like cubes. I think cubes are cool. OK, but what is that actually? Cubes, what's a cube? No, I was in what what was the transition there? Oh, the bee joke started to wear thin.

So I decided, really? Yeah, it took like 45 minutes. And then I was like, ah, fuck it, because I had somebody had drawn me as a cube. And I'm like, ah, fuck it. I'll just move over to cubes now. So you said a cube suit. To me, because bees are related to hexagons.

I don't know like cubes came in and now my Twitter thing is a bee that's made out of cubes. Regardless. What does this have to do with Smash Brothers? It doesn't do what none of that that was all bullshit. What actually has to do with Smash Brothers is the initial argument that I was having on Twitter. And the initial one was basically

and it's something that I would like your opinions on as a serious topic. OK, well, Smash, I mean, it's actually appropriate because, you know, video games and stuff. Well, we do remember that Pat is the Rubik's Cube. Yeah, after all, yeah. Once all the colors on one side,

and it's funny, I was never able to get them over there. It's hard. It's hard. They keep mixing. So I hope that's your joke and you marked out to it like you do. I want other people to echo it back at me. It's really good. So basically I went on Twitter and I wanted to know I'm getting a lot of people seeing around the internet

that are very, very mad that Smash Brothers leaked because Smash Brothers people got a hold of a retail copy. I believe they might have stolen it or bought it from back of a Mexican truck. Possible. Possible they just bought it from an unscrupulous vendor. Could be a garment truck. I'm getting a lot of new. But regardless, some Nair Duels got a hold of a retail copy

of Super Smash Brothers Ultimate for the switch. And then they dumped it online. And because the game does not require anything higher than firmware five point one, I believe, to run, anybody with a hack switch can just download that ROM, throw it on their switch. And now people are leaking shit like crazy. Big World of Light spoilers. A storm might have broken street date apparently.

That's the I saw that after I was told that it got taken off a truck. So now I'm saying like, I don't know. But regardless, they got out there. And big World of Light spoilers about like what happens and extra modes. Stuff like it doesn't show actually top and just spoil the whole thing. Yeah. Who doesn't show up? Who doesn't show up?

If it's being day to mine, stuff like that, right? People are very upset, very mad that the game has leaked. And I wanted to know why I wanted to know whether or not it is literally just as simple as I got the game. I'm doing the game legit. People have the game before me. That sucks. Like if it's if it's that simple or if there was something more

and the something more appears to be very angry over the idea of piracy at all. Mad that this kind of leak would hurt the game or future games because I mean, one of the reasons the Sakurai didn't put in a subspace emissary mode was because everybody just showed the shit on YouTube. And this was all fine. A lot of these were very good reasons. The the drama of the argument happens when I and this is the thing

that I want to ask you guys about how you feel about it. I'm of the belief that if you are very upset at leakers for spoiling Smash because the leaked copy is out there that you should be just as frustrated with Nintendo because they have in many cases sold you Smash Brothers and it's sitting on your switch and they have decided to keep the original release date and not unlock the game. Despite the fact that pirates are currently enjoying a better experience. I view it as piracy is currently offering a better service.

You're saying you're asking you're saying people should do illegal things. No. To get what they want. I am not saying that. Are you saying? Doing the illegal thing is a better version. Yes. Are you currently offering a better service than my customer. So you're so you're asking should Nintendo unlock the game early because it's been actually.

No. And that's where a lot of the anger came from. Really. Yeah. The the the response that came back was you can't do that because contracts and release dates and shipping is a lot of there's a lot of and my typical response because I'm Pat is I don't give a shit. Nintendo, if they desired, could do it, but they have chosen not to for business reasons, but that puts the onus on you not being able to play Smash before people who are not able to who did not get it legitimately

on Nintendo because they are not competing with the currently superior product. But this guy stole that from a store. So you're saying no, not necessarily. They could have bought it. They got it illegally. No, not necessarily. They could have a street date being broken is not against the law. If a company has like a trailer, let's say a Smash trailer came was

about to come out like on Nintendo Direct and some guy just found the trailer. Yes, that's right. Leaked it. That's just information. That's right. That's just a trailer. That's just online. Like that's a couple of megabytes. I would say I think there should be a certain amount of pressure for a company to just be like, fuck it. Here it is right now.

In fact, Activision did that with Call of Duty World of War. We're not going to wait that that amount of time, right? It's going to be in like five days, but everyone knows or whatever. I would say that because, again, legal tender is not involved in there. Sure. But when a physical edition of a game is coming out and you have signs and game stops all across the country, that say December 7th. Yes. And Best Buys and every single store. No company should be beholden to fuck that all over

because some asshole has decided to steal something. Why? Because that's illegal. Hold on. They didn't. First of all, it is not confirmed whether or not anyone stole someone. But it's not confirmed. It wasn't. Yes. But you cannot go. You cannot assert the affirmative based off of nothing, regardless of how it got

out early and, you know, into some into people's hands before the intended date. Are you then suggesting that we should reward like street date breaks by moving the game up? So what are you saying? I am saying because that's effectively what it happens when you do that. Right. You basically, if this becomes a continuing trend, you're encouraging people to break street dates to force the game to come out earlier. That's not my concern. But it's not your concern, but it's a reality of what occurs.

I don't care. It's not my right. Well, you're allowed to not care. But the reason why the thing you're not caring about is part of why it wouldn't happen yet. But I don't care why. And this this is the part where it all breaks down. I don't even want the game to come out early. OK, I don't care. I'm planning to do a stream on December 7th and would fuck my plans up if it released today,

for example. But I'm saying to those of you because I don't care that it leaked. It does not affect me or upset me in any way. OK, right. I'm saying that if you were the kind of person who was just, oh, I can't believe it leaked. You should be just as frustrated with Nintendo for taking your money for an inferior product compared to the pirated version. Why is it inferior?

Because you OK. Do you have Smash Brothers on your on your switch right now? No, you didn't preload it? No. OK, I did. It's currently sitting on my but you don't care. No, you just said you don't care. Whether or not it comes out early or not. Actually, no, because I'm planning a stream.

OK, but let me finish, please. Currently, if I were to hack my switch and I don't think I can, I think my firmware is too. But if I had a hack switch and had a pirated version, I could play that. Currently, the legitimate version that I own on the switch, I cannot. That, by default, makes that a superior version because it turns on. The illegal version is not the superior version. Honestly, dude, I think you could get.

I think if someone that uploads Smash content on their up, like they get ready for your copyright strikes. That's the risk you run of doing that. Well, two things, two things. I'm talking about a different thing altogether. So that, by default, makes it not the superior version, because it's the risk your version to have if you're going to put online. No, I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking pure like I want to play the Smash Brothers. Yeah, two things, two things. Sure. But if you're going to play it online, well, it wouldn't have online, right? Actually, no, it does. The servers are all up and people are playing again, really risky to do that. Yeah, I think that's foolish. I'm going to forget these points if I don't say them. So the first thing that comes to mind is that one,

I don't think Nintendo having any kind of reaction to that makes sense based on, well, just a couple of things. But the one of the most obvious ones would just be like, if you ever, if you I'm sure if you took the data of like how many actual people went through the trouble of getting an early copy or getting an access to it before it was released versus the amount of people that pick it up on release. It's such a small, I completely agree. And I think you're 100 percent.

It's such a fraction of a percentage that it makes no sense to react to what is effectively 0 percent. Yeah, I would be worried about this if this was a much smaller, but cooler, like just as cool game, if it was like this thing that was going to be like almost indie or something or a new IP from Nintendo. I'd be like, yeah, really worried about this. But at the end of the day, it's smashed. So that ends up being it.

Yeah, so that ends up being like a like a complete non starter if you're if you're going on just a percentage of people. And then, God, fuck, I knew it was slipping away as I was trying to get there. The ear and it's gone. Damage to Nintendo's business in terms of releasing it early, not at all. No, no, no, that's what it is. Got it. Got it. No, no, got it back. And we're back.

The the the other side of this, because I mean, you're kind of prefacing it with if you're if you are as mad as you are. That's correct. And yeah, this entire argument is prefaced on people that are mad at leakers. And the answer should be leaks happen as a part of this industry. And it goes down and you shouldn't be any mad at one leak than you are at others. It's just well, but it's smashed. But this is really important.

Yeah, no, any of my brother's fans. A leak is a leak is a leak. A street date break is a street date break. You know, it is what it is. And for a lot of higher. And there's no there's there's definitely no sense to getting hot and bothered over that. The part that there's more to that.

But like, I really don't understand just like the fury over like people who have already bought Smash Brothers, downloading a leaked version ahead of time. Like if they bought it, they bought it. I'd be too scared to download any leaks of anything. Oh, yeah. No, totally. Like, you know, the worry is always bricking, right? But I think a lot of the I will not a lot, but maybe a good percentage

of I or if people see in Smash spoilers, aside from it just being Smash spoilers and just people that has been in the game is because there has been a fervor around Sakurai, just I'm working so hard. Yes, exactly. And even if he doesn't personally care about like if it releases December 7th versus December 5th or people playing it, I think it's people just are like, but it's like it's a show of respect to wait until the game is fully out.

We didn't know if there's going to be its Nintendo. So it's kind of 5050, probably even less than 5050, whether it's even going to be a day one patch supposedly there is, which again, would probably make this depending on what the patch is, would probably make an early version again. I'd imagine that the early version of Fallout 76 was the inferior version. If that had leaked, but in this day and age, Nintendo is not as bad with day one patches as most people are.

Like not to say that there isn't them. I'm sure there is as a caveat. I want to also say that like I understand the I don't understand the Pat Shit King fucking standing on the mountain perspective of like if you're this mad, mad at the right then fuck you because I can because you can I can devils advocate my my my actions by saying, hey, I'm just simply going for the better product or whatever. I also want to make sure that like you're not mischaracterizing because I don't know about this anger, but is it is it anger at the leak

or is it anger at spoiler content? It's hitting people that didn't want to get spoiled. It's anger or is it anger at, you know, like other types of things that were anger at the leak occurred because they feel it's disrespectful to Sakurai Nintendo. It's anger at the fact there are spoilers for World of Light now around. See, because being upset at spoil and content being spoiled is a thing I understand. It's a completely separate issue.

But that's like the reality. It's unfortunate. The reason the reason given be the the third one is anger that somebody would download an unauthorized copy of a game. Oh, no. Yeah, those those things are those reasons that are not content spoilers. There are things that are just like, yeah, it's a bummer, but you shouldn't like rant and rave about it. I think it's kind of a I don't think that's right here at this point

because he just puts everybody in and you can see how exhausted he is. Just looking at those Nintendo Directs and like, oh, done. Come on, guys. It's like, I don't care if this is going to come out like today or if somebody leaks it because you can see it in his face. Yeah, so the indignation, you know, is a is a weird reaction to have in that scenario. But ultimately, it makes zero sense for Nintendo to ever react to this type of thing. Oh, outside of doing what they did with Pokemon back at Game Buzz, where they went like, oh, you broke street date in Montreal, Canada.

Fuck you. I was so surprised. Even cared about that. Well, I completely agree with that 100 percent. My only point is that if you're mad at people spoiling a game, you should be just as mad at the company who is allowing it to be spoiled by not letting you play it, despite the fact that retail copies are in almost all stores and the digital version is often sitting on your console waiting for an unlocked date. But it's like having talked to people that like work used to work at Capcom like years ago.

It's like, why don't we just not have jobs like marketing guys or like head up guys? They're like, everything is kind of laid out and to have anything be it leaks, be it just even fuck ups on their part, like uploading stuff to the world. Oh, no, doing. Oh, no, being ono. It's like it's basically. Then our jobs are moot now. All our planning for for months or maybe even a year is out the window and putting a game, having a game coming out like next year myself.

It's like I wouldn't be also happy if somehow the the switch version got released early. And but even if I wasn't working on that, I I kind of someone said this to me is like if everything was all digital, every console is all digital. It'd be so much easier to deal with these things. Yeah, actually, that was retail does hold it back. That was from reacting faster. That was where I ended up going next, in which it's like the main thing about all of this that I think of is that once a game goes gold,

it should be put up for sale and then they should print discs and ship them out. And people who need to get it retail should wait. Game developers, sorry, game publishers wanted to go all digital because they'd have more strict ERM than a physical copy. And then they wanted not to pay for discs, right? But we never got the benefit of a digital distribution in that there's no reason for us to wait for the discs to ship out to fucking whatever Arizona. So the problem in the general scenario you're proposing is that you need

two unreasonable people standing in their positions and we have to accept that their unreasonable like stance is not going to move, right? And that's already like a flawed premise to begin with. But let's say we entertain that thought and go into this insane world where you're this frustrated at something that you shouldn't be. What happens if the game doesn't have an early preload and doesn't have a pretty sure it does, though? Well, it does. But I know.

But I mean, I know what I mean is does your scenario stand the same if there's no available version and the trucks couldn't pull up to your house any faster? It does. But the but the fact that there is a current like copy of Smash sitting on many people switches does add the extra little like you're staring at the button, you just can't click. Have you have you seen what it looks like? It is. It looks like you smash is playable on your your console

and you click on it goes. No. Yeah. And it's and it's pretty much the whole game. But would that would you would you what would it turn into then, though, if there was no available way for the thing to get to your house? Well, the answer would be then that if a retail copy exists, that means the digital storefront copy must also therefore exist. And yeah, take a couple days and put it up on the store or, you know, depending on like Sony updates or shit on Tuesdays, right?

But what it's now obviously makes no sense for Smash. Yeah, put it up on the next store update. Roll it through. Um, someone just gave me this is how sorry, helpful tip. That's kind of related, but unrelated. They're like, if you're worried about Smash spoilers, there is a variety of add-ons you can get for your browser to so you can put Smash Brothers. Yeah, I used one called Videoblocker.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. You put that in and it'll just track every time I had that on until the game is released and then you can just turn it on. I had a browser blocker on for near-automata spoilers. No, the website gives a shit about Smash Brothers, but like YouTube. It's like you're going to be on like Variety.com or like whatever. They're like, it was Smash Worldly Life spoilers, bitch. It was overzealous and I had to turn it off.

Like it like I couldn't even go to my own YouTube page and see the videos getting it was too aggressive. I think probably the most frustrating thing about all this to me is that everybody thinks that I'm just mad that I can't play Smash first. No, I don't care. It's it's really hard to articulate this in such a way where it doesn't seem like that. Is it? Even though I believe you're being truthful in this sense,

but it's a hard thing to talk about without it sounding like I wanted to release. Again, your your premise is that's it. Well, he said it and that's if I said it. Your premise is like you're yelling at a person in their in their indignation, but you're both on an irrational island to begin with. Yeah. So. But on top on top of all this, like the main thing is that how do I put this?

If you have already bought Smash, like, I think it's totally natural for you to download that leaked version. Don't break your switch. But like, did you buy it? Did you put money down? Does Nintendo have your money? That means you own it. Like I really I mean, I think if anyone's debating

buying or downloading it for years ago, I'd be like, yeah, go nuts. Yeah. Now is like it's just such a bad idea. I'd be always scared of well on your on your proper console. Yeah, like I don't remember. That's why you keep your fucking bullshit console to do your crap. That's why I have three we use. I mean, yeah, exactly.

Like it's kind of it's kind of not for the same purpose. No, no, one would be the fucking one that's hacked to run PAL games. No, no, it wasn't hacked. I never hacked a Wii U is just because so I can play Devil's Third. Yeah, no, the discussion has evolved in such a way where it's less about how you feel about the issue and more about what are you an idiot? Yeah, you crazy.

You want to break your system? Don't do that. And what was it? The other that's five to ten. There's this whole Nintendo ward in the prison. Yeah, like have you guys ever? No, you guys don't use Steam all that often. But you ever. I do.

I use Steam. Well, no, but you ever use a VPN to tell them that you're in Korea and Australia, you know, so that you can play a game 20 hours early? No. OK, see, I've done that and that's technically against the rules, but I think I did it for an assassin. I think I did that for Assassin's Creed Origins, actually.

You could you could tell them that you're in Australia and you could play the game a day early. I see no, like, actual distinction between that and, say, getting your leaked copy if you already bought Smash and work are going to continue to buy Smash. I really love Spider-Man and the Spider-Man game. It's like I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just being older, but it's just like I can't think

of a single game in the lot. Maybe Metal Gear three, where I'm like, I need to play it early. I mean, I'll try to get a code. I'll talk to a guy or two. I'm like, do you got a code? Everyone tells me no, which is almost all of the time. I'm like, well, that's my life. Yeah, that's rough.

I have fond memories of Motherfuckers coming into Foonzo with early copies of fighting games when they came out, like, like, let's say, like, back of when he got like his early Amazon ship or. Oh, I remember when we were the reason that, like, fucking Street, a super Street Fighter got out early in Montreal and caused all them problems. I remember I was thinking about those problems

because Game Buzz, we lined up at midnight. We did our thing because if we fucking I tricked fucking Game Buzz and what was the other place game zone into thinking to all of the games into the other store had started to sell it early and in their paranoia, they actually sold it early to beat the other store to good old Pat. But yeah, that's the same thing with Bayonetta. I got Bayonetta three weeks early.

But there was there was easy. There was these days where everyone real human being, right? And a real hero. Everyone would. Everyone would crowd into one spot to like the one console that had the new the new fighting game, and we'd all fucking just go ham on it for one night. It was fun.

Those are good times. Those are good times. That dude, like, anyway, that's I'm always afraid of a company's just having this whole wing of their offices that are just tracking down who's playing a game online right now. That's that's early, even if you're offline. I don't imagine there. There's a way probably not.

I imagine there's there's a there's a little beep boop that comes on someone's computer and says, somebody just unlocked the trophy for whatever. And you're going to go like, yeah, yeah, yeah, fucking why? I'm trying to remember how that went down. And was that you on the phone going, oh, they're selling it? Oh, they're selling it over there. Hey, guys, they're selling it over there.

We should probably. So yeah, what happened? What? It does. What happened? It was this. It was the game buzz no longer exists underneath the fucking theater. Yeah. And I'm on.

I'm arguing with the guys like you I can see you have Super Street Fighter. Just give it to me. I'll buy it or else I'm going to go down to fucking Game Zone and get it. And I fucking call Game Zone and like, hey, man, oh, cool. You got Street and Willie was there. And there were like 10 guys with me like they're all just like, oh, fucking games, a bunch of people just showed up.

And I'm like, oh, OK, cool. You're selling it. And I'm like, OK, well, they're the Game Zone down down and fucking for done. They're just going to fucking sell Super Street Fighter. So fuck you. I'm out of here. He's like, oh, fine.

Oh, go tell anyone. And then we all bought our copies. And then I called Game Zone and told them, yo, I just bought copies of fucking Super Street Fighter from Game Buzz. They're selling it early. You should sell it early. And then told other people to go down to Game Zone. And then they got their copies early.

Motherfucker. But it's like someone that cares even less than like Nintendo for who's buying stuff in Quebec is like Capcom. They don't fucking care. And especially back then, I think companies are a little more like nowadays. But Super Street Fighter 4, no one gives shit. See, it's the callback, right?

It's the after the fact call, but the unnecessary recalling Game Buzz. Yeah, because they didn't need to happen. No, but it had to get out. You could have just walked. No. You could have just walked, you know? You ever see heat when they're driving away?

You could have just drove off, you know? And then fucking DeNiro is like that motherfucker. I'm turning this car around. I can't believe he fucked me. Like you didn't have to turn the car around. He had to be so extra. What's the difference between a leak and tricking some dumb retail employee into giving you the game fucking 10 days?

It was early. Dumb retail employee such as yourself? No, no. I remember this guy. You remember him as the guy with the baseball cap? OK, sorry. I thought you meant in specific. No, no.

Because I was like, what the fuck? That's the same dumbass that sold me Bayonet. The very specific person. That's why I went to that Game Buzz, because I saw that that dumb fuck was there. I am sure that no way it was the owner that sold Pokemon early. Can you believe that?

Pat's fury is righteous because he hated the specific guy that he tricked. This is as close as I ever got. You got fired for stealing. Never forget. I heard from someone that was like, yeah, they should have been Bayonet early. And it just happened to be at that time in a Walmart.

And I'm like, are you selling Bayonet up? And they had it in a glass case. And it said on like a little like, you know, sticker or whatever, like January or whatever it was. Yeah. I'm like, but you have it right there. Can you sell it to me? They're like, no.

And I'm like, OK. And I walked away and I bought some McDonald's. Yeah. That's that's I need to ask the question once. And if you get told no, I'm like, oh, you got to obey the rules. No matter how old you are, you got to listen to your parents. So they walk away. But then someone else had bought that copy of Pokemon.

The first thing they do is take a picture and put it on a game. Yeah. So the guy that I'm talking about, I walked up to him on fucking January 30th, which was three weeks before Bayonet's release and it's fucking on the shelf. I'm like, yo, give me a copy of Bayonet. He's like, is that out yet? I'm like, yeah, totally.

OK, cool. And then I bought it. And I got it. I'm like, by the way, game's not out yet. Bye. So if Pat ever gets convicted of video game crimes, they can subscribe to the Twitch super best friend cast or super best friends channel and just

and you can see the prosecutor just licking his lips. Oh, I mean, your honor, play the clip. Yeah, play the video game crime. Play it for the jury. Put play it for the jury. Listen, like one thing for what it's worth. Don't make the fucking mistake of Twitch streaming your early Oh, my God.

Is that not the funniest thing you've ever seen? It's the most tone deaf thing where it's like fucking read the room, the room being the world. Literally, literally, friends have had the job of reporting and shutting down streams of games before release day. That shit blows my fucking mind. If you want to stream your bullshit early acquired game, don't do it on Twitch or YouTube.

Don't fucks go do it on that weird Russian site. The people use the one it's like monster. It's the same mentality as when we talk about when someone remade a game or just didn't fucking ask anyone for the rights to a game is like we're releasing this game. And it's don't fucking say anything. You know how you say stuff by putting it on Twitch. It's kind of a pop.

Selecting the game from the list. Hey, everybody, I'm playing an unreleased game. And over in the back there is the new hot pay-per-view fight. Check that out. That's in the back. Oh, I have a China rip of this movie that's not out yet. Oh, man, you can see you can totally see me in the reflection.

Oh, man. Oh, they know what I look like. Oh, fuck. Dude, that has to be a thing. So I have a video game for it. There's this one like this detective work that our capha fucking went on a quest because a screenshot of early Venom and some other Marvel

infinite DLC characters showed up on someone's TV. And it was a shot of a VHS. Wait, not a VHS. It was a shot of a TV with the characters. And then the background had a certain type of curtain. And these motherfuckers, the internet just went BLEED BLEED BLEED BLEED BLEED BLEED. And their fingers split apart like ghosts in the shell.

And they just typed. And they fucking found the exact stream where here at Filipino champ's house, when the camera swerves around, we see that curtain. They gave him the game early. The top players get the game early access. Damn it, F-Champ. Yeah, yeah, it was fucking nuts.

So after a few hours of that, I was all high on argument and then made bees and cubes. And now you're up to date. Now you're up to date. There you go. So big stitch. Go back to Hunter Hunter. He finished it.

He finished it. I fucking finished it, Alpha. What do you want? No, I just don't want to talk about bees and cubes. Goongi is cool, I guess. I also played Warframe, nothing to say there, other than they put out some new hats. New hats are cool, especially the equinox skin.

And played a bunch of dark souls again. And that game's really fun. But more than that, I got people in touch with me talking to me about cut content to Dark Souls 3. Do you guys remember that Dark Souls 3 original leaked screenshots? Were massively wildly different? Yeah, I saw a bunch of them popping up recently.

No, wait, no, it was Bloodborne stuff popping up. Yeah, it was like the giant snake thing. And the just basically, it's as fully summed up. Like, you know why Soul's Lore is all inscrutable and shit? That's because the game is chopped and screwed and remixed to fuck. And bosses are moved around at random. And they didn't know what they were going to get on.

Three months before the game comes out. Just like the Zelda games. What? Yeah, pretty well. And that's me. All right, let's get into the news. If you have a retail copy of Smash Brothers that you can give me, please contact me.

Alpha? What? What's in the news? Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Thank you. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Cheers. Are we doing harmonics now?

What's going on? I'm doing a harmony. You're a drawer man. You're not an audio man. OK, OK. Yeah, stay in your lane. Oh, fuck you. God damn it.

All right, so one. Oh, is there Fallout 76 shit in here? I think we covered it pretty well. Oh, there's only one piece of news about it. There's only one new piece about it. And I want to say that did you see that the Fallout 76 is down to fucking $35? Oh, yeah, that is awesome.

And they fucking canceled refunds on the PC. They don't allow you to refund the game anymore. Thanks, God Coward. So Skrinix announced Final Fantasy 14 Shadowbringers. Yeah, this was last week. But yeah, Shadowbringers is coming out. The big boy of this expansion will be the Dark Knight, my personal class that I love.

I see a bunch of words that start with garl in it. All right, I'll fuck. And I'm assuming that Garland land is. Garlamald is the evil magic faction. Garland formed the nation. The coolest part about this story stuff and the trailer that they showed is they it's very ambitious for an MMO. They're implying that every single person in the story

will viciously die in the next patch and that the expansion will be about time travel to fix that horribly. They've shown off some stuff. Blue Mage looks weak as shit. There's probably going to be a gunblade class, which will probably be a tank. That'll be cool.

That's cool. That means they bring in different types of gunblades. No, it would just be the one gunblade. So would you say alpha? So is it like realm reborn, where they just hard reset after? No, it would be 4.4 exists and then we're going to go to 4.5,

which would be disastrous. And then the expansion would be to fix between 4.4 and 4.5. Because in the trailer, you just see a big ass battlefield with a shit zillion corpses. Yeah, everybody's probably going to die. But that'll be interesting,

especially considering the caveat is that it's quite possible that in the storyline, you have been, how do you guys feel about the storyline in which the hero turns out to have been doing the wrong thing the whole time? I enjoy that. Because there's been a whole warrior of light,

typical Final Fantasy warrior of darkness thing. And it appears that it's possible that player actions have in fact, like a hastened bunch of dank shit. So yeah, time travel. Just like Yoko Taro's entire career. Yeah. So yeah, time travel possibly.

That'd be cool. They also talk about the trust system, which is bizarre and is going to be about- You don't trust the other player, teamwork becomes lousy. Actually, it's funny that you mentioned that, Matt, because the trust system is mainly going to be based around playing with NPCs because you don't trust

shitty human players. There you go. And you will build up the trust with those NPCs in order for them to perform better. What else is in this fucking trailer? Why is there a fur being in that trailer? What the fuck? It's one of the fucking new beast tribes, probably.

That's probably what's at. Can you scroll a little bit? Well, it'll remind me of a- Oh yeah. Final Fantasy weirding me out now. What's it called? Blue Mages are going to come in the next patch. The weirdest thing on this list,

well, could you scroll down to that bullet list? No, scroll up to the next one, because there's a fucking thing called New Game Plus to this MMO, which will allow you to replay any of the old timed or solo duties and stuff like that. For the audio listeners, I'm looking at a art of Yoshida. Yes.

And it's a really cool Yoshida art, unlike some other square artists up there. They're also going to add in the Vieira. You know the Vieira, the bunny people? Yeah. They're probably going to look much furrier than Fran. They're probably going to be proper and throw bunny stuff.

No. The right amount. Fran is the right amount. It's like a gripes territory. And what else? Oh, they're doing mega servers. They're reordering the servers and they're going to make it so that

if you're on a data center with 10 servers, you can just go to any server you want. So that's cool. So wait, this game has no different weapons per class? No, your class is your weapon. Oh, weird. But there are 14 classes currently. Weird.

So Paladin's always used sword and board. Warrior's always used an axe. Dark Knight's always used a big sword. Yeah, but I guess I just never, I mean, you just know. It's a job system, man. You never get a better sword. Oh, no, of course you do. There's fucking thousands of weapons in the game.

So yeah, when I said different gun blades, I meant literally different designs of gun blades. Oh yeah, no, there'll be a fucking million. Yeah, that's what I mean. Okay, sorry, I thought you meant like different types because there are different types of gun blades seen. No, I'm just saying like, oh, cool. Like there's ciphers and there's squalls

and now we'll see other designs. There's gonna be hundreds. Of the gun blades. That will be cool. Every type of shiny, glowy, pulsating gun, blum, blum blade. Glum blade. Blum blade.

Glum blade. Yeah. That's literally all I'm talking about is just designing these weapons. It would be a glum blade. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah.

They're more like Renzo Buchen. Oh, shit. All right. Where are the Moombas? Looks like it'll be a file expansion. Moombas are dead, man. They're not gonna come back. Damn it.

Why do they have the furbies? You gotta put the Moombas back. They're called the new moon. I think they're a Chrono Trigger reference. Not sure. They look like they look a lot. I thought of Chrono Trigger when I saw that. They look like the moon, 100%.

So, new game announced as well, something called Destiny Connect. Oh. Well, wait, wait. It's by Niponichi. It's by Nis, it's by Nis. Okay, it's not by fucking Bungie. Oh, thank goodness.

Not a Destiny game. It has the name Destiny in it, but it has the word Destiny in it, but no. It is Destiny Connect. It is an RPG. It is coming to PS4 and Switch 2019. Is that the Disney castle? And yeah, this is a Niponichi software game.

God damn it, I can't escape Disney. Looks cute. It looks cute. It looks like... That looks like Zelda and Link. It's like hipster characters that we're looking at. Yeah, almost. It comes from Link.

Almost. It looks almost like a Swarie game. It's trying to be a Professor Leighton too. Could be that too. Yeah, could be that too. That was a little in the background, yeah. But what it does not look like is other Niponichi games. That's true.

It looks very different. Boy. Huh. Audio listeners, we're looking at screenshots of this Destiny Connect game. Yes. It was 3D for one. Yeah.

I mean, already. What's the last thing they did? What is the last thing they did? Some Disgaia port. I'm trying to... Probably, yeah, yes. Clearly a Disgaia port of some kind. This is, because this is a bold new step

in a different direction. Tell you what. Or like, I think it's like a Nino Cooney similar. Yeah, I mean, there's some elements of Final Fantasy IX there. I don't know why I'm thinking about that. Or maybe like... Because of the proportions, maybe?

Yeah, like just a big head, big eye, small body, I guess. Let's see. And it has like fantasy towns on it. If I take a look at this... It's dark cloud. I don't know. The Princess Guide. The Liar Princess.

Niponichi, yeah. Okay. This is Disgaia 5. Wow. 5? Yeah, yeah. The game's like been around forever. Like that whole franchise.

Oh, I bought that. I forgot. I forgot that game existed. But I bought it. Jesus Christ. Oh, God. Yeah. So there's that.

New RPG coming next year. There was a stream where we got to see some fun bits of Devil May Cry. There've been a... They've been doing a... Yeah, they've been doing a bunch of these, actually. Yeah, apparently there's another one coming in relatively near future.

It's soon as getting out there and helping the hype train take off. And it's literally them just fucking around and being like... The game's still like four months away. Look at this cool shit Dante could do. So yeah, and this stream that they did recently was just showing off some Dante stuff

and his new weapons and everything. And one of the cool details that came out with this stream was that there are going to be multiple enemy skins. Oh, cool. So you're not going to just fight clones of the same model, infinitely. Yeah, okay, that's so cool.

There's gonna be different variants visually. You had three or four different types of puppets, but the color of the puppet always denoted the exact... It's the only colors that the fucking Captain Quebec would get for the action figures instead of the Dante's. Right. But pretty much every other enemy, like you had a really specific, identical look.

Oh my God, I still can't believe they're fighting fucking nobody's in this trailer. The fucking weirdest fucking enemy to never come back. Dude, there are hells that are not hells. Everyone is here. That are there as well. Like you see in this footage of the new Dante gameplay, you see him fighting like the enemies that we looked at

were like, oh my, it's the hells are back? It's like, no, they're not exactly the same actually. They're actually new enemies that are very similar to what we used to have. If you want to be truthful with everybody is here, where are the helicopters from DMC2? Oh, the infested hell tank. Maybe they'll be one in a trick, in a fucking...

They're better be. In a cutscene. Yeah. There's a Capcom stable. It should be, that should have been a playable character in Marvel. Infested tank? Yeah.

Marvel's Capcom and it's the helicopter. It's just random helicopters. That's what I like. Yeah, so if you want to see some fun stuff, and of course the gameplay while they're doing this demo is all like fucking just styling hard on things you've seen. Smoking.

The introduction of a new enemy you've never seen before is to see it get wrecked. Never get to see it's attack pattern. Yeah, you just see, you just say, oh, look at that new monster. It's getting air comboed. It's gone. If you want experience that,

go on and check out some of this footage. I really hope that the game is darker than every other Devil May Cry game. Yeah, it has a much darker palette. It does, and I hope that doesn't make create issues with visibility. The enemies have glowy bits. As I was thinking about this the other week,

it's like, I really dislike in general contrast. It's like MK 11 to MK 9. MK 9 has the bright primary colors for characters things. Very bright. But MK 10, they dialed it back so everyone's wearing gray and black. Well, there's a lot of desert backgrounds and muted colors as well.

The huge definitely got slid back in that way. Yeah, I don't prefer it. Or saturation, I should say. Yeah, yeah, it's desaturation. I feel like when you play, when you think of DMC 4, it's bright daytime throughout the whole game. Like when you're outside in the snow area, it's not daytime, but the snow's bright.

So there's always something really bright on screen. Whereas here, we've seen Nero in the dark alleyway at night time. We're seeing, it's daytime here, but the shadows of the city are really darkening the environment. The gondes coat is barely red. Indoors a lot of the time.

There's barely any, like, yeah, there's just not a lot of brightness. Not a lot of brightness. Not a lot of lighting. I feel like... It's not even an issue, we're just making note of it. Yeah. It looks fucking great, obviously.

I feel like the enemies and the playable characters are like, stand out. Like they're the most colorful or bright thing in the scene, nearly always. I think it'll work out just fine. You know why? Because I think that all of my expectations will be exceeded.

Exceeded. Surpassed even. So, yeah, there's that. We've also got a random little, random little copyright note, but it's like a little ding. Whenever something happens, whenever someone trademarks something,

just a little ping appears and everyone goes, mwah! When they take a little glance, and Square Enix trademarks Parasite Eve in Europe. Oh boy. Specifically for the third birthday only. Nah, this is gonna be a... Tabata gonna work on this franchise again?

This is probably just... Probably not. This is probably just gonna get a re-release or something. Maybe. Tabata directed third birthday, did he not? He did. Yes. I don't know.

Nice. Yes, he did. I had to Google that. Yeah. So, who knows what this could be? Patchy Slot Eve? That's a good couple of games there. Paraslot Eve.

Paraslot Eve. Paraslot Eve. That sounds disgusting. It is, cause it's a slot game. Put the coin in the thing. And it goes. Watch your clothes rip apart. Oh shit.

You get poisoned. And there's a little like notification that says Love Life Max on the side. Oh man. Pull the lever for nucleus boiling room. You're doing it, buddy. I thought Paraslot Eve is a franchise that like it's the dino crisis to Capcom

where it's like, yep, this exists. We're never ever going to do a new thing with it ever. You know what, come to think of it. Re-releases sure, but. You're actually more right than you know because it even followed an identical trajectory. Exactly. Like the first one was very genre focused

and then the second one. Became, tried to become something that wasn't even from the start. And then the third one was a. Was a huge fucking cluster fight. A massive disaster. Dino crisis three to third birthday. That's the same name.

And now years later, everyone kind of just wants the first game made again. Yeah. Or then there are different group of people that are like, no, fuck that. I want the second one. If they had handled it better. I remember Maya Kondria.

Yeah. If they had handled it better, Aya Bray could have been the cane to Lara Croft's Undertaker. Could have been. Could have been. Could have got that far. Could have been.

What's a dino crisis? What's her name again? Regina, Regina, Regina, Regina, Regina, Regina, whatever. Yeah. Well, there's a city in Canada called Regina. Yeah. I mean, that's where my brain goes. But yeah, Aya and Regina are kind of similar.

The brain goes out to the burda. It goes to the real word. So there's that, whatever that could mean. Maya Kondria bonus. It's the powerhouse of the cell. People re-upping trademarks is great fodder for our podcast. So it's like, yeah, that's a good thing.

There's another trademark. This is probably what Matt was thinking of. Yeah, I was thinking about. I didn't know that. No, I actually thought of Parasite first, but because this, I saw this like yesterday, but Parasite was like earlier in the week. 20th Century Fox trademarks alien blackout.

Parasite mark. Yeah, Parasite mark. Parasite consumer's working on it. Maybe. Is that real? No, I don't know. That is assumptions based on the fact that he was recently at 20th Century Fox hanging out.

That I don't, first of all, that would probably upset me. Oh boy. If this, if it were, if we start hearing about other Koji projects before fucking Death Stranding. It's fine. As long as he's in that role that he was for Castlevania Lords of Shadow

where he just gives some basic advice, make the main character not look like shit. It wouldn't actually upset me. That's a good piece of advice. But I'd definitely be like, what, what, what, what? You're working on alien? Damn, that'd be weird. So apparently this isn't being made

by Creative Assembly. Like that's confirmed that they, they confirm themselves like, I don't know, a little while ago that they weren't working on new alien game. So everyone's deathly afraid. This is some type of Facebook or mobile game. And if in the happy circumstance

that it is a console game, while the guy's made the last move. Made by Gearbox. Yeah, let's, I mean, it's a joke, but it's like, if there's anyone that's never gonna work with anyone again, it's Sega and Gearbox. Yeah.

It's not isolation too. No. I mean. Bad yo. So, so, yes, whatever this is, some sort of new alien product will occur. It's good because the franchise is hot right now. Coming on from all the backs of all that bullshit.

Yeah. By the way, you're like, he's trying to get a hold of you for that alien thing. Yeah, we know. He, he picks the date where Woldy's out of town and I'm like dead. Good for that. We've been, we've been, we've been hard to court.

It's, yeah. Needs more curtsying. Dosey Doe. Speaking of Dosey Doe's. Oh, why'd that happen? That's a bad. Don't worry about it. Here we go.

You shouldn't have even mentioned it really. The most nothing, nothing is becoming a story. Because at a recent Legend of Zelda concert, Ajao Noodle had the audacity to say something like, man, this quote unquote, this concert, it definitely makes you want to play Skyward Sword again. No, it doesn't. If only they released on Switch.

An improved version like Wind Waker, I'll play that. Depends. The same game. Depends what they improve. Yeah. And then later on. I couldn't sleep last night. I couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking

about HD Grooze and the remastered Grooze. Yeah. Just imagine a choir going, boar, boar, boar, boar, boar, boar, boar. Yeah, exactly. No, no, no, no. Boar, boar, boar, boar, boar. You need like a little triangle

to like make it as epic as possible. Like like, violinist like. Flirio, R functionality. I just want to hire somebody to go to events like this. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. So that like when Ajao, fucking Ajao Nooma. Ajao Nooma says something like that.

There's some loud guy saying, I'm just, yo, that game sucks. And then he gets all awkward and shit. Oh, I would make me say that. You know the part where it goes, doodoo, doodoo, doodoo, doodoo, doodoo. Yeah. Doodoo, doodoo, doodoo, doodoo, doodoo, doodoo, doodoo.

Imagine like a, like an opera vocalist belting that part out. But when they will say like this. Like a pop melody just saying, like, oh, they can't. It's because it's not locked down to the Wii mode anymore. There would be traditional controls. There would have to be, right?

Yeah, there should, there has to be traditional controls. The Switch has motion controls with the Joy-Con. Yeah, but Nintendo has been pretty good about almost every one of their first party games is like you can use whatever. So the other part is that several slides later, he made an appearance on stage and they had a little conversation.

And he was asked, he was like, bah, Shimamura started by saying, I'd like to ask about the secrets behind Breath of the Wild, to which Aonuma equipped, are you sure you don't want to ask about a Switch version of Skyward Sword? That's the one's coming. That confirms it.

You can't be a Nintendo employee and be able to throw that shit out there. That's a fine, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, or, but here's the question though. Are we looking at an onoism? Are we looking at someone's wishful thinking? Forcing the onoism? Half and half, I think.

Aonuma is way higher up the totem pole than Ono ever was. Because sometimes these snide remarks are actually like, I want this and I want someone to do something about it. So I'm going to kind of push the fire to the feet a little bit. Aonuma wanted, he can be like, let's do this.

Like, you know what I mean? He's the runner of the franchise. I believe also it came out, I don't know if it was at this show, but like some quote from people on the Breath of the Wild dev team was like, by the way, just a reminder that Breath of the Wild does not fit into the established timeline.

We'll never tell you when it is. In 10 years, we will. Yeah, in 10 years, when there are enough games that we can sell you a fucking art book, we'll make up some shit. What a bunch of crap, all that Zelda timeline shit. I bought the Zelda. I bought the Zelda, it's like a pedia,

like a few days ago. What a bunch of fucking shit. I don't think it would be a, I think it would be a good move, a smart move if they dropped a Skyward Sword. Similarly bring it down. Yeah, down a well. Can we skip three or five conversations?

Yes, that's the thing is like, if the Wind Waker version hadn't come out, that I really, really enjoyed a lot more than the other one. And Twilight. Yeah. Like I'm saying they brought it. Twilight had less new quality of life improvements,

but it still had some. But it would like, the trend of bringing Zelda games up a generation has been a thing. Even Ocarina of Time and the Majora's Mask had tons of things. And if they hadn't done these, I'd be like, oh man, I don't really want to play

Skyward Sword again in like just an uprest version. At least they've shown that they're like, well, yeah, that was fucked up. Why did we do that? Let's at least expedite that quest Although imagine having to play it with one Joy-Con out and one Joy-Con in. Oh.

What? Imagine that. I didn't think about that. That's fucked up. Isn't that weird? That's probably in the game now. That's the weirdest thing ever. That might be a thing.

It just happened. Cause I like the story of Skyward Sword. I like the characters. It's just all the other stuff where I'm like, I didn't realize that Phi or Phi was the most tragic Zelda character ever. Until you beat the game, you know? The thing happens at the end.

Yeah. You go to Breath of the Wild, whatever. But yeah, 10,000 years, nobody talks to her. Good, which is why she won't shut up. Exactly. Yeah. Got it, got it. I think that's the reason why Anuma made her

like super annoying, cause the finale is that, oh yeah, this character will never blah, blah, blah. Good. And it's like, and then they showed in Breath of the Wild where only a specific number of people that completed Skyward Sword has an Easter egg relating to Phi or Phi. Oh, that's true.

Where Zelda talks to the sword. And Zelda can only understand the sword. And that's like 10,000 years, whatever, down the weird timeline that Zelda has. But it's like, oh. Good, I hope she's got nuts. I don't know. Nobody, never hear her voice again.

I hope she's talking about bees. All right, class. Go ahead. So raise your hand if you remember World Heroes. Raise your hand if you remember Jean from World Heroes. Yeah. I was so glad you put this in. I was like, I'm gonna test Willie

by not sending him the story that he may sandbag. I don't know if he will though. They're pulling in some folks. This marks the first SNK woman character that has been added to SNK heroines since its launch. I feel like they were really going for what do people want to see in this game? World Heroes.

Mars people. And then they started just going in. Mars people, yeah. And then you just get into like, okay, where's the deep SNK love? So you watch the trailer for this? No. So World Heroes characters, they never got anything.

They got like three games and you got an ending that was it. So how do you bring this character back that we don't know anything about? Should have been a reputant. So we have to make a personality for her. So. Oh, there we go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. See like they show everybody. Joe J. Maximov. So the trailer has crisp new art for the entire cast of World Heroes. So watch the subtitles for it because I believe this trailer is only available. Subtitles.

She has an Ivy whip. I look fabulous in anything. Okay. All right. So Jean has a personality now. It is really a sin to be so beautiful. She's Vega. Yeah.

She's Venus fuck. Yes. I see. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. The French. Forever? French Swordswoman.

Yeah, okay. She never had any personality before. No, she's just Jean and she was like, she was kind of trying to be Jean Dark or whatever. And did she give a big oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho? Yes. The fucking, the tweet that they put out said oh-ho-ho-ho.

Oh yeah. She's one of them. And that's why, that's why her sword is also an Ivy whip because she's gotta have the whip BDSM things going. Yeah, she didn't have that. She had like arrows and a sword. Yeah. She was always actually, I thought she was like a hero.

Like a good, like heroic person. Probably in the games she was, but in this one, it's like, oh, we don't really have someone that's fucking smelling their own farts here. So let's add that to the cast. Cause we were missing a... Stuck up woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

An orjo. World heroes come back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Next world heroes. Fucking muscle power. J-Maximum. And, and, and. And Dio.

Brocken. Yeah, they're all, they're all back. Never forget, never forget Rasputin. Rasputin. So that's cool. It'd be nice to get even more SNK female characters coming up. You know what though?

Jean coming in is cool, but you know who I would have preferred who's almost the exact same character. I know someone I would really like. Who's the exact same character, but just cooler. In SNK? Yeah. Charlotte. I like Charlotte more than Jean.

But she's getting her own game already. She's going to be in Sam's show. So I think they want to like... I guess so, but then cross promotion. Rosa from Kazuna Inc. Oh my God, dude. The girl with the short blue hair. Okay, no, we can't get real.

We can't pick real characters. Yeah, you can't pick, but that's real. Are you saying wrong from world heroes is not real? Because when we get fucking savage rain up in this bitch, now we got some real characters. She was in two games. She was in Savage Rain. Motherfucker, gimme my Rosa.

Gimme my Kim Soo Il. You know what I mean? Like we could get some motherfuckers back in this shit. And Fuma made it out into that. He was in Neo Geo. And then don't forget about the birds. The bird ninjas. The bird ninja.

Who are we even talking to at this point? I don't know. Anyone that watched that fist against me did because they didn't even count her. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Does she have a full name? She's just called Rosa apparently.

So here's the problem though. Can we count ADK? Yes, because that is ADK. Then give them, then world heroes is ADK. Then take both Makodos. Oh, no, no, no, Ryoko's. Take both Ryoko's, fuse them into one being. Wait, where's the other Ryoko from?

Fighters history. Data East. What is ADK? What is Data East? They both used Ryoko. But they both used that real life. Inspired for the real judo champ from Japan. Yeah.

What? All the web grows bigger. Mizoguchi from that game. Made it into the maximum impact to Mira. Yeah, so the connection is already there. Maybe they own it. Because Mizoguchi can make it. Why not Ryoko?

With his Taiga Bazooka. Why can't Ryoko fuse a Ryoko to form Ryoko? And remember when he showed up too and everyone was like, who the fuck are you? Not me. I knew. No, no, no, no, in the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ash Crimson was like, who the fuck are you? You don't fit into my plans. And then he's like, Taiga Bazooka that. That's great. I love this. I love this. What a great sequence. I was bathed in question marks.

Showering. I was born in the question marks. I love it. Okay. I have a small piece of like one line news that Googly just sent over. Mr. Googly Gareth. There's a lawsuit from the fucking

Mcglacio and Rathod targeting Bethesda game studios for deceptive trade practices. And there's the current investigation over fall 76. They'll be fine. It's Xenomax. They have money.

They got the Facebook. Thanks, Googly. Is your name actually? I have breaking news. Ridley Amiibo spotting in stores has broken street date. Damn it. Wooly is already typing. Damn it.

Now that Ridley has leaked. Wooly is literally typing. Smash is ruined. I want him super bad. Good post. Good post. Not airborne, but no weird plastic. How could he be?

No weird plastic. Look, he's landing from being airborne. Tail hanging down. That's true. There you go. But he's landing from being airborne. But you know the tail hanging and attacking you? Like, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tail would have to be really strong. Confirmed he for sure, huh? Yeah. All right. It's a boy space dragon.

Ridley Amiibo. There you go. What's we got? I hate Amiibo. We're selling the Amiibo thing in Japan, like the whole set or something like that. Oh, are you serious? That's like a Japanese exclusive thing

where they're selling all what, 61 Smash Amiibos or something. I ordered the fucking spoofer and they stole my money. Good spoofer. The Amiibo spoofer? I don't know what that is. It's an RF platform. A four-card chip thingy.

Yeah, and it just lets you load data in. Yeah, and they stole my money. So, really, that's what happened. The people that sell that, they're selling your money, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, the people that fucking sold me this PS2 Swap to stole my money.

It's probably the same guy as Gamebuzz. God damn, it's Zone Acro. Who can I trust? You can't trust the Swap magic. Yeah. Not even Swap magic. Reads through his notes. Swap magic five.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get the piece of plastic. You're typing down Woolies. Get the hook right here. The fucking piece of plastic hook. Oh, my God. I know about you, but when I used the hook, I felt like I was fucking on E.R.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mastered that shit. I got you get super fast with it. And then later on, I remember losing it and making a bus pass version. Whoa, you get a bus pass hook for your Swap magic. Christ are being confessed right now. You need three bus passes worth of thickness.

You tape them together and you cut the hook latch and it works the same way. Wow. But then you get the slim version and then all you have to do is get rid of the open. That's flummer. It was fun. It was more fun.

No, the Swap was nice. There's a nice satisfying like, you know, to it. Anyway, but you ever see, you ever see the original Hot Swap PS1? No, I haven't. My fucking friend, Justin. Justin, you fucking, this dude was so sick.

We would be at his house and he'd be like, check this shit out. And he'd pop it in and there's a specific time right between the PlayStation one boot up. Boop. I vaguely remember this, but yeah. Right between that end. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.

You fucking pop the thing. You eject, grab the disc out and put the other one in. You slap it down. And you enter it region free. And you just hot insert while it's spinning. And it was nuts. Cause it's like, that's gonna cut your fingers off. And he's like, and he had it down.

And it was straight up like Indiana Jones putting the sandbag down where the fucking treasure is. 100% that. Oh, good old Swap magic days. Amazing. Good old, I'm nervous being in this building days. Yeah, that building was sketchy as shit. And it was weird that I went on to work in that building.

Yeah, that was the weirdest thing. We all went to a fucking sketchy ass like warehouse building to buy our Swap magic disc kits. And then they later on, both of them went to a fucking work there for years. They had a fun hut. Oh, sure. Yeah.

Right in the building. It's like a cyberpunk hut. I'm too poor to video games. How do we solve this? Wooly knew a place. Thanks, Wooly. Katamari Damashii Reroll is a thing. Yeah.

Oh, there's a switch demo. I didn't know that. And there's a switch demo that you can get access to if you have a Japanese eShop account. First of all, I didn't hear about this announcement. What? The Katamari reroll. No, we did it.

It's the same screen data smash. I don't remember doing a story on this if I did. Oh, maybe we didn't, but it was pretty. I thought it was unveiled during a direct. It was unveiled during a direct. So unless we talked about every direct, but I'm shocked you didn't talk about it. Cause I fucking loves me some Katamari

and I didn't catch this news. Yeah, it's a full remaster on every console. And Alpha, you're super right. Like that means like hard confirmed, right? Seven or seven. Yeah. Get it now. What would the Prince's moves be?

Roll. What? Roll. The Prince of the Cosmos was in Smash Brothers. Uh-huh. Side B. He doesn't seem to like you right now. Oh no.

I thought, did you not say Katamari in Smash? No, I said it's the same street date as Smash. I thought you said Katamari in Smash. Why not? Let's go with it. That's why I was so incredulous. Cause it's like, how do you do that? Hey, did you notice that this is about a game coming out

on Smash's release date, but it's like, get it now by bullshitting your shit around the Japanese account. So the demo is fully endorsed. For a free demo. Yeah. And the demo is even in English. So piracy is really just free demo.

The demo is in English. So even if you, if you got it, you'd be able to understand. But anyway, Cosmo's super, whatever, Smash ball, I don't know, I don't play Smash. I'm sorry. It's fine, Alpha.

What if the Katamari Damashii was a fake Smash ball and you hit it and it would touch you and you would get rolled up in it and it would just roll off the stage and the King of Skull Cosmos's bulge wouldn't knock you into space? What if, if your percentage is high enough, you can get stuck to the Katamari.

And as he fought along the stage, he could pick up items and he could pick up moves and bullshit and it would all stick together. The children's theme starts playing. Like the kids chanting. La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la. Perfect. I do love some Katamari.

I do recall, I saw a little article when I was grabbing this one that was like polygon impressions of it and they were complaining about the controls because they are the same as they were. And I'm like, that's perfect. They should be the same as they were, but they should put an optional control scheme too.

I think twin stick Katamari feels great. It does. And I love it. But it's weird to not like fucking have some other type of option. One stick roll mode or whatever. I guess. You know what it is?

It's a tank controls thing, I suppose, to some degree. Yeah, it's your tank controls. But to me, like I enjoy thinking about pulling one stick up and one stick down and throttling the Katamari in left and right directions. Yeah, that's your mental image of the steering of the Katamari. It really feels fun in my brain.

Like 10 year olds having switches would be like, why can't Katamari jump? Why can't they jump? Why can't Katamari crawl? No, I can't Katamari crawl or something like that. Why can't the principle cosmos do the fortnight? Oh no. And lastly.

Oh boy. We've got, what do you even call this? The debate is out there. I fucking talked about this when we were playing Kingdom Hearts. I'm like, yeah, that cast of the Lion King looks great. And then it's like, I don't know what I was thinking of. Everyone's like, yeah, look at this animated movie.

Yeah. They're not a single part of it that's live action. No, there isn't. And I can't stand the fact that this has been called the live action Lion King. I am so disappointed. My brain kind of when they're like, oh yeah, Beyonce is going to be, I'm like, yeah, Beyonce wearing a big like

dumb hat, right? Like the stage show. Yeah. But I can't remember. We had a human actor boy that was in it. So this is the new Lion King remake. It's the same as the old line. Yeah.

Calling it the live action is not accurate because it's completely CG. It's a massive line. So it's a remake. It's the Lion King remake. It's Disney's dinosaur. Oh no. Yeah.

This is so hammered in. James Earl Jones actually says, remember. He does. He says, remember. Remember. He shoots a bunch of fire on the earth. But it's got Donald Palmer and Seth Griggin. Whatever.

Like, woo. Hey. This hurts me because I'm having more of a Disney company. Yeah. That's totally appropriate. Disney, I can't excuse it. I was not expecting to get hype when I saw this. And I went, how could you get a hype?

It's not real lions. I was told there'd be real lions. And I'm just like, I saw it. And I was like, fuck me. I love the Lion King. I wanted, I was told that there'd be real lions doing tricks and being dubbed over. And I understand folks that are not getting what they wanted.

And there's even a little bit of a thing where they're like, the fact that it's shot for shot means that they're stealing the original artist's work. No, I would say the fact that it's shot for shot makes it pointless. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, maybe you have some insight on this, Alpha. So this is like a meta like stealing thing.

Because if you look at the story of Lion King, it's actually a story of a Japanese. Kimber the Lion? Yeah. Enemy, like Kimber the Lion. Kimber the Lion. And now they're stealing. And now they're stealing from the Lion King

and putting it in the Lion King. So it's this crazy inception style, like, shot for shot. Like, you know, it's just, I don't know. It's just, it's just going to make money. Was Kimber the Lion also Hamlet? Yeah, something like that. Yeah. OK.

At least the stage show was like, how we, let's be super creative with how we're going to do this. How are we going to do this? Let's do this. And like, that's cool to adapt in that fashion. But like, yeah, people are like, the all the original storyboarders, animators, writers, or whatever the first movie will get nothing from this,

even though it seems like it, at least from the trailer, that it's shot for shot. And it's like, there's a side by side comparison where they're identical, except just like remade, basically, which the problem is that Disney people keep rewarding them with these live action movies. They keep doing super fucking well. But in the Beast, did you, did you see that?

Or did you know anyone that saw it? No, made a billion dollars. OK. A billion. Here's the thing, though. I want a remade Lion King to be shot for shot because I love the Lion King. Then you should just watch the Lion King.

Well, I want a new side quest for the game. No, just keep it the same formula. That's how Disney makes the billion dollars. But of course, like, yeah, no, the idea, like, so the idea of it being like, hey, like, no one involved from the last one is involved in this and all that shit is garbage. But I do feel that, like, when you're

saying the alternative could have been like a completely different type of storyboard and a completely different sort of telling or so, I wouldn't want that as much because it's not going to be shot for shot because they've already confirmed they've taken stuff out. They've tire be prepared sequence. Oh, so you mean? Yeah.

Why? What do you think? That's the scar. Violence? No, it's because there's a shit zillion Nazi imagery at the end of that. Yeah. Hyena's marching.

Yeah, it's supposed to be scars eaten, but that's bad for the kids. It's great that we'll soon be connected to a king who will be long time at door. It's also the best musical number in the entire movie. Yeah, it is. Hyena's marches are gone. That sucks.

Yeah, it sucks. I'm not sure if it's Al yet, but Willie and I had a great moment singing most of a bit of a Lion King song in Kingdom Hearts. It got pretty nuts. Did you see the fucking thread on our subreddit that became one of the most popular ever about how they're going to fucking remake Nala's like fuck me Simba face?

You remember that shit? I remember. How are they going to remake the scene where someone flops down on the cliff and then it spells sex on the sky? SFX. SFX. SFX team, they've got to put in there somewhere. That's their signature because they can't put their credit

somewhere. It's like, oh, yeah, we can just do this and get away with it. And people are like, no, that's not what we meant. I think it's really weird that it says from the director of the Jungle Book being John Favreau. And then another Jungle Buck movie is out on Netflix. They're about to come out now.

And it's the exact same movie with CG. Well, because Disney can't stop that one. They can't stop it. That's why there's other Tarzan movies and the TV show, as we know. Coming soon in Hercules live action. There were two live action Hercules movies. Oh, no, that's the Disney one with the song.

What about Young Hercules? Oh, no. Does have Denny DeVito's back? The earliest fucking appeal in play. When did you make that connection? Pretty early on, because I think it was when he was in Drive where I'm like, OK, what the fuck has this motherfucker done? What's going on?

Oh, my God. It's Young Hercules! He looked nothing like that in normal. Remaking your career, you know? It's amazing. Yeah. Denny DeVito is the goat guy. We're really disappointed.

Yeah, Fred Phil, Phil. We're really disappointed that they couldn't get Danny DeVito. They couldn't get Trash Man to come back for Kingdom Hearts. Like, 71-year-old Danny DeVito reprising his role as Phil Octides in Disney's Hercules. Danny DeVito is the greatest actor of our time. If that thing is going to be accurate, Danny DeVito should have been calling everyone a Malacca,

but he doesn't. He has a New York accent. They added the stage show for The Lion King, added lyrics to the instrumental songs as well. So there's even more songs that you didn't know. The songs you know, but new. Just make sure. But here's the one thing, though.

You know that, you know, the special 1.5 release they had put out where they're like, yeah, they edited it and they added in one more song. The Morning Report. Fuck The Morning Report. The Morning Report is garbage. Fuck that garbage. Don't support it.

You ever see the fucking sequel with Skars fucking illegitimate song? I saw parts of it. I saw parts of it on the, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Sunday Disney nights or whatever it was called. That shit is fucking trash. I saw some of that, yeah. Which is weird, because both Aladdin sequel movies were pretty decent.

But the animation always goes to shit. Oh yeah, of course it goes to shit. But like, Jafar coming back is being fucking evil and shit. That was great. It's the TV show that's the real canon. Oh, what was his name, Mechanic Leaves? There's a Timon and Pumba show. There was.

There was a Timon and Pumba game released on the Super Nintendo in 96. Wow. Was that the bug eating game thing? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that. There was a bunch of mini games.

Yeah. It was crazy. I played that shit. You worked on it. Oh no, I didn't realize. They just unlocked a part of my memory. How much chiptune Hakuna Matata can one person take? All of it.

The entire game has one thing. Why not? Yeah. Yeah, so that's happening. And there's something deep inside of me. Can you imagine how much better it would have been? Actually, it's not deep. It's right on the surface.

That's just like, oh, I love the Lion King. Yeah, of course you do. Everybody loves the Lion King. And I like the way the Lion King was shot. So when I see the shots of the stuff, like HD remakes by the commander, I get happy because I get happy by the commander. I just find the CG to be way less appealing than the original animation.

Yeah. Well, they just desaturated everything. And I also feel like if they were going to do it this way, they had to take the 10 years that it took to do it all with real lions doing cool tricks. So ignoring sandbagging the louder that would be that the beginning of it. Yeah, you're 100 percent right. Traditional animation is something that I love and respect

and fucking is the best, but that exists. And I'm nothing can ever take that away in that in that comparison shot. I don't mind when Simba is being held up by under his like front pause. The cartoon version looks like a lion cub. And the CG version looks like some horrible CG thing. Some guy farted out. Yeah, I like it looks like every other out of my body movie. Not to not to disrespect someone's hard work on the CG,

but there's like just it's so less appealing. Beauty and the Beast is slightly a different thing because that was a human like Belle and the monster was. I'm not sure if he was CG, but the actor that played the beast was a real actor. And they like CG him up a little bit or he had he was there. But there's no one that's playing Simba. Donald Glover is the voice.

But you know, I mean, there's that disconnect that there's not an actor really there. It's just Andy Serkis in a lion suit. And he's just going around like playing every character. I'm fully prepared. I'm fully prepared for like the fact that not everyone is on is on board. I can feel that, you know, whether it's the looks or the, you know, the it's not the type of remake you wanted or different things.

I have a solution. OK, I'm going to be singing those songs. I'm well aware that I'm not going to get even the Nazi one. I'm not going to get my live action Lion King with real lions. What if they had done a really high end stop motion version? That's too hard. Kubo. Yeah, like Kubo. That would have been too unbelievable.

Unfortunately, the only studio that does live action that does stop motion is the studio that made Kubo. And if Wes Anderson worked on it, everyone else has no fucking patience. That's the only other medium that you would that could have been like more effort went in than the original. The most and yes, yes, absolutely. But that that we don't love on a planet where like that patience exists. That's a shame, you know.

That or like that rock shot, I would rather they make CG cartoons like Disney's done before for Zootopia and stuff. I'd rather those cartoony style animals. That's even less of a remake than this is. Oh, if they made it like match the animation CG. So so like, isn't there isn't there's like Simba in Kingdom Hearts and stuff? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so right. So like that type of 3D Simba where it's like you look 3D,

but you look like the cartoon Simba. Yeah, it's the color is what you would have preferred that. Oh, I would have preferred that. Yeah. I feel like I even like more of a rip off. But I don't think I know I wouldn't I wouldn't have liked that. And the reason why is because it would feel like Star Wars Clone Wars. And this doesn't. This is going for the photo realistic thing.

Tim, it's doesn't. It's it's it's uncanny valley on these animals. I'm I'm I'm not wars doesn't give me that vibe. You know, sorry, I'm sorry. I don't mean Clone Wars. I mean that this reminds me of all the monstrosities in the George Lucas prequels. Everything's a soulless fucking racist cartoon. Like I mean like most of the I don't know where that came from.

But in all of the prequels and watching the Planket video. Yeah, I this fact I don't know, man. I personally don't feel that. I don't feel that you don't you don't feel that that that shot of Simba being held up with his blank, emotionless eyes. My cat's a better actor than that CG line. It's definitely CG and it has the weaknesses of CG. But I guess I don't know.

Like I didn't I didn't think it was as bad. I'm not even saying it's bad. I just prefer a more cartoony style in this instance. Something that because like this is the first all cartoony, no human live action remake that Disney has done. But it's called live action, even though it's not because they're going for photo, CG. But there are other live action movies

were Cinderella, Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast. There's always humans, Cinderella and all humans. Even Dumbo had that. Yeah, the Dumbo movie coming out. That's like the next live action barrel. OK, they're learning me and I do I know exactly what you mean. And I'm trying to think of how to explain that. It's like there is a lot like CG now, especially because we've seen it over

done in every possible way is a medium that when you pick that, it's going to carry a certain way. Yeah, like when they say lifelessness or soullessness to it, like there is an aspect that is intangible to it, that I know what you're referring to, not to say I felt the same. Not to say you can't put like an emotional performance behind this, a fully CG, trying to be realistic creature. But it's weird when it's the entire cast is all creatures

and there's not some type of real in-camera element and actor like a human or whoever it is that's there. And they're not there's not some baby that's an emotion cap suit that they're holding up, you know, like I don't think that's legal or whatever my my nostalgia is fully blinding me and and and coloring my feelings. I love lying. I'm being I'm totally I'm totally being swayed by my feelings for the line.

I think an animal character in Zootopia that's trying to emote is a million times more effective than any of these things are also way hotter with the morph with the extra fur plague approved way hotter, way hotter. Yeah, it's it is in 2035. I'm I'm I'm I remain very excited. I fucking love me some like I'll make I'll make money. It'll make money. It'll make a lot of money as blinders. Is just, you know, yeah, I'd watch it.

You know, that bring my little brothers to watch it. Yeah, they're making the live action Aladdin as well with Will Smith as the genie. Oh, fuck no. OK, you know this. So my brain. No, I don't know. There was a trailer for Aladdin a few weeks ago. Oh, I saw the poster actually got really afraid for a second and thought you were going to say Will Ferrell as a lad. That's a legend.

Will Ferrell as the genie would actually be a pretty decent choice. It'd be very dopey, very not to say Will Smith can't do it, not to say both wheels can't do it. But you know what, though, if if they could have made this live action, they would have, but they didn't because it's the only movie that has no humans in it. Yes, but you can't get shitloads of animals to you're not. You can't get it with the ass money. They would all die.

You're getting antelopes. What the fuck was that movie? Dynastatata. What was that movie? Dinosaurs. Yeah. What was that movie that killed like 80 dogs? Oh, Milo and Otis. Oh, Milo and Otis. Yeah.

You fucking you want to Milo and Otis for the entire set? No, you get African Savannah. Get every line in the world and you only make them work for like 20 minutes. The one pride rock shot with the antelopes would just kill everything. No, you just teach him good. If you wanted if you wanted this to be true to life live actions, you know what this movie would be? It would be fucking Homeward Bound and shit like that,

where you just film dogs wandering around for an hour and a half and just lip sync their mouths to be Michael J. Fox or whoever. That's live action animals, but it can only be done with dogs and cats and trainable animals. It's not happening with wilder beasts and fucking lions. Yeah, you could do it. We're on. You could do it. We are now on the failure of nerve.

We're on our four hundredth Zazu because they kept fucking swallowing him. Exactly. Not man. It came out to teach him to not do that. You tell I know back in the eighties and nineties, people are a lot more bold with like animal like trainers and cinematography. They're like, ah, it's fine. But as time has worn on, I've seen I saw like a bear movie. The Revenant is really done really, really well.

That's as best as you can do it. But there is another movie I saw called The Grizzly Maze or something. Thomas Jane and James Marsden and it was the fucking worst. This bear didn't get a sniff of these actors. It was filmed so far apart. It was just a guy with furry arms strapped onto a costume as he swipes at them. And then they they edit to a picture of a bear looking happy. What? It's so bad.

What is the budget to do it? What is the budget for rolling film on a Warthog's asshole waiting for it to fart so that you capture the shot? Probably bigger than you would ever imagine when it's Disney. The budget is infinite. It's true. But we have to capture Pumba farting on shot on shot. And we and Warthog's fart once every two weeks.

No, you know what? So you don't know when it's going to happen. You should have gone lo-fi and done this with all like cats and and costumes and pop belly pigs and shit and just dress them up with little hats. OK, that elephant graveyard was real. We had to kill elephants and dry out their husks to create it. So that that one scene where they're sliding down the fucking bones is really an actual mountain of elephant bones.

No, no. Yeah. Just tell the cats to do it. Yeah. And then and give them food. That's your that's your live action line, King, right? That's what I want. Remember. Oh, let's take some letters. Yeah.

Hey, Alfa. What? If you wanted to send in a letter to the podcast, where would you send that? You can send the letter to super best friend cast at gmail.com. Again, that go ahead, Pat. Oh, I was about to say, I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. What was that again? You can send your letter suggestions, corrections to super best friend

cast at gmail.com. Thanks, Alfa. Your email might go something a little like waiting for a woolly. You say the word this and then I start talking. Yeah, this. There you go. Justin says, dear Tom Clancy, Street Fighter Two, what's your most recent game gimmick that you super hate? For example, not sell it, not setting subtitles on by default.

Yeah. Loot crates, auto jumping to the next match in multiplayer games instead of using a ready to proceed option. Or my recent all time frustration in Battlefield five, the opening cutscene failed to skip for me despite the prompt and sends you straight into gameplay with no option to change graphical or sound settings until you quit the intro. God fucking dammit. OK, so Warframe does that last one and it's really infuriating.

I hate this new world of start for immersion intro. Go rolling starts in some cases, not a good thing. So that's the worst because you know that that is a console decision. They decided to go, hey, we're going to have a rolling star, blah, blah, blah, blah, and you're like, well, what about when I need to switch my settings? And like, ah, fuck you, whatever. Fix it. Oh, it was the beginning. Yeah. Yeah.

Quite literally PC games where your shit is not set up and it just rolling starts you. I was playing a fucking not even a big cinematic game. FTL has a rolling start on it where you boot it up. And the first tutorial thing is just like your ship's going. Yeah. Right. And even that, it was like it was for some reason, it opened at a window that was five times larger than my resolution.

That happened so I could only see the top corner of it. And it was a fucking ordeal to get it to a normal resolution. And I'm like, can you get me out of the tutorial, please? I can't see the window. You want me to click confirm click on my current favorite thing that I hate is making a game that has no subtitles of any kind. And when you ask, hey, what's up with that? They're like, fuck deaf people.

So do you see that shit with Activision? I made a joke about it in a future video where they're they're like people are like, hey, why don't you put subtitles to it? It's like we looked at how many people need subtitles and we're like, fuck that. No, that's the worst is the line of we wanted to stay true to the integrity of the Spyro franchise. Suck my dick. How about that? Shut the fuck up. You're fucking put in subtitles.

Why are you so lazy? But also, and this is a part that if you look, go check out the video with Mark Brown's designing for disability. He talks about various amounts of ways you can design games to help with color blindness and hearing disabled people. Subtitles are not just for deaf people. Therefore, if you have bad audio mixing or you just want to read it or you have a let's play channel. Oh, shit.

Even if you weren't in like in that space in our lives, it's like it still bothers me. I forget what game it was. They should have noted it, but we played something like maybe a year ago where like in between the brightness settings, after brightness settings, it should say ask right after every game. Well, do you want to have subtitles? But the real game is what menu will it be under?

That's the game. The ones that put in the audio are fucking bitches. That is outrageous. Subtitles are a visual aspect of the presentation. They should be under visuals. I don't care where they are as long as they're all in the same place. So as far as rolling starts go, there is a game you can play. If you've been to a tournament in the last three or four years,

the game is find the setup that's mashing as fast as they can through the Street Fighter tutorial with Ryu and Ken doing the. Hey, Ryu, that's a pretty good move. What should we do next? Master taught us this and you have to skip the tutorial and get your points and get your fight money and go through the fucking agreement and then get to that title screen.

Every single tournament, someone has to put in a new account and mash through that because you can't pop the Street Fighter disk in and just get to the fucking menu. That's super. So what fucking annoying, man. Yeah, but subtitles is mine. If I didn't make it evidently clear. Any problem with subtitles is outrageous. Yeah, it's a consistent problem.

Yeah, there you go. So it was just going to ask like, well, what bothers you? But that's exactly it. Thanks, Justin. Thanks, Justin. Corrections for Pat. Please rethink every statement you have ever made. I do that as I make those statements. Thanks from paper.

I rethink the statements as I'm making them. And then when somebody goes, but no, I'm like, no, now I know I'm right. Now I know. Corrections always on point. Layton says. Hey, they're married, engaged and domestically partnered. Layton here. When I was in junior high in Texas, in the mid aughts, I'm found out. Oh, damn it.

There was a legit. There was a legit gun scare at my school. Everyone was corralled into the cafeteria in retrospect. Not the best idea. That's fucking stupid. Punching lots of kids together and had their lockers and backpacks searched through in a line. It was my turn and I went through the line of officers at desks. And at the end of the line, there was a metal detector being a good kid.

I had no gun or knife, obviously, or any other weapon. But what I did have was a killer mom lunch, turkey, bacon, sandwich, Cheetos, fruit cup, chocolate chip cookies and Dr. Pepper. That's amazing. I don't agree with the Dr. Pepper, but the rest is good. The cop looking through my bag opened up my lunch bag, peaked inside, raised his eyebrow and calmly placed said bag behind the desk

and said to move along. I asked why he took the lunch and he just said sorry. I had to confiscate it. Move along. Oh, man. Oh, that's the worst. There is no more resolution just to spare. That is a literal supervillain. So he raised his eyebrow.

That's the same as like as like when I was working in a warehouse. And the only thing I looked for was my lunch. And someone just ate my lunch. That's even more bold, because you're basically telling someone I'm going to eat this. Dude, there's at least like being anonymous with stealing someone's lunch when they're not there. That cop is pulling out to go pull over fucking

Denzel Washington, yeah, and take his drug money and fucking let's pull him over and be like, where's my cut? Yeah. All right. On your way. Yeah. That fucking crooked ass now to go take a nap. Josh, Josh Brolin in a leather jacket. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what are you doing in Jersey?

What are you doing in Jersey? You'd have to announce yourself if you're going to be in Jersey. Move the fuck along, Frank. He's eating that turkey sandwich. He's got the Dr. Pepper. Move on, Frank. You know, oh, my God, I have to confiscate all this. You brought this shit into Jersey.

The eyebrow rays is my favorite detail. It just looks in the bag. Yo, all your mom is awesome. Man, confiscate it. Lay it in your mom rules. That's that's one of the best things you've heard. Oh, so he's asking, he's like, what's the most ridiculous, petty, abusive power you've ever witnessed?

Nothing's going to top that. That's fucking amazing in terms of topping it. I don't think so. Yeah, that that's fucking strong. I fucking love that one so much. Shit. And and and he doubled down. I get you get two. He gets two.

Here's another one. I don't know, man. OK, good. Hello, cabin mediocre critter. Got it. Layton here. My friend has many awful opinions, like, but not limited to back story. Trust me, this will be fun. You can just read a few. I ranked them according to what I most think is egregious.

Everything he ever consumes, he has to go look at the ending at, spoiling it for himself, because otherwise he's anxious about how it'll turn out. Oh, buying an ex-bonex and purchasing multiple, multiple multiplayer games so that he can't play it with his friends who have the playstations. But he doesn't watch while he also has a PS4 and then complaining about not having lots of fun. But at least it performs a bit better than all than not on his 4K monitor.

Oh, I know. Yeah, OK. Refusing to watch any anime without dubs solely because he multitasks while watching any show. So he doesn't really watch it. I hate so much as he does kind of listen to it. He has played Yakuza games, so I fucking know he can read subtitles. I know I know what's going on. I know you can read, motherfucker.

Choosing the destroy ending in Mass Effect 3 and maintaining it was the moral and best thing to do. Loves getting into and watching not great CW type shows like Arrow Supernatural and The Flash, but does not want to watch Breaking Bad or Always Sunny or Game of Thrones because they're too big of a commitment. How long did he write this list? Expone controller is better than 360 controller.

Seven seasons. BioShock 2 is the best of the franchise. Oh, that is outrageous. No, it's not. I've heard multiple people say that. That is ridiculous. I've heard multiple people say that. God of War, 2018 is so so. Halo 4 best of the franchise.

I actually like that. That was ridiculous. No, that's what he said. Oh, I'm sorry. I like that. This is a JoJo villain. That's someone laying a mousetrap down and you're just caught off guard and you're caught more on guard.

Oh, yo, call the cops. That's on purpose. Arrest this dude. Oh, wow. At number seven, plays only as straight white male character because I can't connect if it's not just like that. Oh, OK. Have you ever changed someone's mind

who is really dug in about something? I don't want to change that person. I have changed people's minds. And also, despite how absurdly dug in I can be about things, people have changed my mind about things. This is possible. But your friend is an edge case. Your friend seems like a lost cause.

There's a lot of walls to burst through there. Last time I played my brother in Street Fighter, I used little girls and medium punch buttons. And he used large characters and only heavies. And it didn't work out so well. And I kind of was trying to let him know that, hey, there's more to the video game here. But that was just the end of that.

That's loser talk. And then he never played it again. I'm glad you ruined Street Fighter for your brother. I mean, you did the right thing. That's one way of interpreting it. I genuinely believe that you did the right thing. Now he puts his, Jesus? I don't know.

There you go. Yeah, you got there. Put your quarters in the book. Put your quarters in the Christ, get the blood spurred out. No, in the paraslot or parasite eed slot. Yeah, you know when Jesus flexes really hard and then one of his blood vessels burst?

And what if the confessional was timed and you only got like three minutes per quarter? And if you had a really fucked up week where you did a lot of crimes, I'm surprised they haven't done that. And then people outside are putting their quarters up to go next to the confessional. Is it like an auto-tive where you just put the money in?

Put the 20s in? In the side of the confessional, there's lots of little burn marks from cigarettes. Yeah, yeah. The priest is blowing smoke in your face through the thing. And it's like a robotic priest. Like it's a robotic Vatican.

No, no, it's gotta be real though. It's gotta be real. Those new Japanese, like Nessica cards cabinets are the worst because those confessionals, you gotta put your card on and you can barely sit in it and it's super uncomfortable. Yeah, everything's at a weird height.

So it hurts your back. When are they gonna fix the door anyway? We got one coming in from Sarah. She says, they're super best mysterious flash monsters. Fucking love Silent Hill 2 and my dumb friends don't appreciate how much of a masterpiece the game is. Need to share this info with someone. Maybe I thought you guys might enjoy it.

At least Pat might. I didn't think a 17 year old game could surprise me with more secrets. However, I was playing through the game the other day and found something in Neely's bar that was interesting. When you go to Neely's bar after leaving the Otherworld Brookhaven Hospital, there's another message written on the walls

accompanying the famous, there was a hole here, it's gone now. As you've seen, the message was, if you really want to see Mary, you should just die. Right. But you might be heading to a different place than Mary, James. If you take the random capital letters,

you get IRL, gibberish, Mary. It's an anagram. After you put the letters in place, you get, I need you, Mary, be real. Oh. I think that's the coolest shit and I believe it's fully intentional by Team Silent. That is insane, you in fucking, wow.

There's so much detail laced throughout the game and I doubt that it'll always remain the number one in my slot, my favorite games of all. Anyway, you're awesome and here's the Easter egg. That's a fucking cool ass Easter egg, congrats. Thank you. Those are the games that'll have something revealed every couple of years, some of them will just think.

And like, if your friends are that, whatever, if they're into YouTube videos, there's a million YouTube videos, they're like Silent Hill too, is the greatest survival horror game or the most subtle or the most whatever it is. And just maybe have them watch some of that instead of making them play the game

because that's probably not gonna do it. Or you could watch our LP that we did, it was really good. No, no, watch the actual like video essays. It was really good. I don't think she's gonna get one of her friends to watch like 20 parts. It was such a really good episode. What is going on?

Like we've talked about a little bit, Kingdom Hearts is going on pretty strong. Lots of singing, lots of dancing. How has your DMC's been going on? How has your DMC's been? I've quite well. Since the Trilby incident. For at least two or three mornings now,

I've loaded up the Traverse Town extended loop and just let that be the sound of my morning. I will not. Make that your wake up alarm. Yes, but then I'll hate it. Are you talking about that one? Jazz, smooth jazz, it's fucking good. It's amazing.

I really, really like that song. Also the composer for Kingdom Hearts games is A plus. Also big ups to finding that Bloodborne slash Kingdom Hearts. That was already waiting. That shit was prepared. And the connections were the same characters that we described as well. I wasn't thinking of Mickey,

the author of the Dream of the Nightmare. Michael Lash, Michael Lash, Michael Lash. I saw when I saw Goof Quaint, I thought. Quaint, I really, I was like, someone heard that and fucking went to work. And it was like, no, no, no, no, this existed. It's been around for a while, man. We know the Bloodborne piece, the blood star.

No, it was the blood star beast and it was the beast. Yeah, it was amazing. So yes, we're going to continue down the Kingdom Hearts journey to the parking lot. I think you know the parking lots in the next game, right? No, yeah, it is. It actually is. Yeah, it is journey to the parking lot.

All right, continues. I think Call of Cthulhu is not quite wrapped up yet, but it's wrapping up because we wrapped it up in the fish parts. And DMC continues with the hilarious occurrence that me and Willie forgot about every weapon in the game that isn't the fucking first. I can't remember any of the weapons in that game. There was a glaive, like a ninja star.

Yeah, I remember that shit. Remember Eric's, the big dumb fists. The worst fists ever. The big ludicrous fists. Yeah. Hulk hands. It's it replay. Yeah, exactly.

You give me the guy lies. It replays instead of the cool like burial or not burial, instead of the the normal melee shit you get from the usual game that we cry games. They just gave him these giant Hulk hands. And so it's just for a game that wanted to go so to the walls with its visual style. It's not all that memorable.

Like you you take Beowulf, you throw it in the trash and you fucking inject steroids into his forearms. That's good. It's good to do that. So yeah, DMC Devil may cry continues with Dino and name only. Hey, hey, hey, woolly. Hey, what's going on?

And woolly versus and also at woolly versus. Well, today a new episode of the near automatic DLC just came out part 60, right? So we are currently making our way through the DLC portion of near and a game plan has more or less been decided in terms of how to handle that stuff. So I did the first little bits of it. What I'm going to do is for side quests and stuff.

There's going to be I'm going to I'm going to run a stream. I'm going to run a stream and just to clean up a little bit of what's left of what's what's worth doing. So you can come hang out and check out the the near-automated stream of me just doing some side quests. And then once I've done that, probably been kept up to the LP before that because it's a fucking big spoiler. Then I'm going to save the last bit,

which is going to be Emile's stuff for the final session with Liam. So near continues, that's what's going on right now. Also, we're going to be having the people, a couple of people asked about like the stream archiving and stuff. And what I'm going to do is when I have a stream and it goes off, I'm going to put the footage in like highlights on the woolly versus the YouTube channel and the stream archives for those of you who want the whole thing will always be there on the main channel on the Twitch.

It'll just be a highlight. Not for. Oh, so anyone else? A lot of people have to say not forever. It'll be there forever. Highlights. Yeah. Yes. Not the actual full thing. But the whole thing will be a highlight like I do with this very podcast. So a lot of people, I guess, just didn't know about this, right?

But it was something where I saw some folks going like, oh, man, like, I guess I'm going to have to just miss all of the streams because I want him to dump them all on YouTube. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no, you can just go to the Twitch. And I highlight the entire stream so that it stays there forever. So you can go watch it forever. But I think it still means that there's some people just more comfortable on YouTube in general.

That could be some of it, but unfortunately, dumping multi hour videos onto your YouTube is how you bury your channel. I don't know. I've been doing OK with it. There's there's things that like Max puts out that one video. That's seven hours. Yeah. And it depends on your it's true. It depends on your it depends on your existing momentum. And what whether you're it depends on what you're looking at from day to day.

But I can firsthand promise you that you get buried in terms of how many people actually subscribe to you. We'll see your posts when you post a new thing. There's a number there, right? And it varies if you if you if you're putting out stuff that people watch mostly to completion, it'll be 10 on 10. It'll be fucking strong. Everyone will see it when you put out a really long archive.

And it's multiple hours long and people only watch a part of it and then don't finish it. It goes, oh, people are not finishing stuff on your channel. And it means only three or two out of 10 people subscribed to you. You'll see the thing that's no issue with an archive channel. If the purpose of the channel is for archiving, then it's not not at all. If it's not if the purpose of the channel is not archiving, it's a bad idea. So that's why it is an issue.

Right. So that's what we're going to be doing. And that continues. Fighter PDA is going to continue as well. And of course, the stream of Rod Wally versus so lots of busy things happen. You know, and after you record those lines, yes, I have to. Like I remember if it was you. Yeah, I'll go. I'll definitely give you that as well. Yeah, that all continues.

Oh, yeah. New Kirby lore coming. Let me work it out. I have a new girl working on that. Lots of things being busy. All right, Matt, what is up? I alluded it to last week, but this Friday I'm going to have the first episode of the fighting game theater where I review, break down and improve existing fighting game intro. Here's how you improve this.

OK, by doing this. OK, well, this one weird trick. This one, we're going to make this intro flow a little better. Like maybe not have live action actors dressed up as your characters. Yeah, that kind of looks bad at some time. Yeah, you're right. So that'll be this Friday. And Mr. Alpha Gamboa also helped with an intro for an upcoming. Oh, yeah, yeah.

That's not going to be this week, but it'll be next week. And we had an absolutely hellish time. Oh, boy. Stantes, I'm sorry. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. I can break in the end of the one that is just me and Jesus. Yeah, because to everybody you're like, you came to everybody in that, you know, personally, and when Dante's in front and people would fucking just turn their noses up. So, Matt, can I can I tell this story, Matt?

Sure, go ahead. So Matt messaged me saying, like, hey, I asked three artists and they were all busy. Would you like to help out on making the Dante's Inferno intro? And I'm like, I'll think about it on Monday. And like if you guys, especially Willie, might not be familiar, but you know how Dante's Inferno has these really shitty low budget animated sections. I'm extremely familiar with that.

Not at all. There you go. There you go. Yeah. So they have really gorgeous FMVs that look like millions and millions of dollars were spent, but then sometimes they'll not have those. It's like motion comic level. It's bad. It's yeah, they had like a whole partnership with stars. I had to look up the Yeah, I just put out that bad Dante's Inferno movie. Yeah, because I had to do my research and I'm like, there was a fucking

Dante's Inferno movie from stars. So yeah, that's probably coming up next week or maybe it's bad because I know people from visceral games and these are the guys who made Dead Space and Dead Space 2 and then they make something like Dante's Inferno. And it's like, nobody wanted to work on this game. Like I talked to the guy, I talked to the guy, hey, like, you know, you guys, what's your favorite game? Like, oh, you know, Dead Space 2. And then I brought up Dante's Inferno and you can see his face just go

I didn't want to work on that game. That's great. I didn't know that's man. That just use that. Use that emotion for your your Dante's Inferno man. Anyway, that's me. All right, over a pad of Angriest Pad on Twitch. And I'm hopping between Warframe and Dark Souls 3 right now.

So pop over there and I'll probably be playing one of those with Dark Souls getting deep in there with Warframe. It's probably just going to be relic or rep grinding while talking fucking whatever. And I will very likely at the very at some point in the near future show up on Twitch TV slash Peach saliva going through a third run of Detroit and other assorted shenanigans. Right on. That's it.

Alpha. Yo, what up? You can find me on Twitter at Black Book Alpha. I don't have any streams, but please look forward to Indivisible, which is probably coming out next year. And I might. I'm breaking NDA here a little bit by saying that I've worked on a certain character that might be interesting to these guys right over here.

I don't know what you're talking about. You mean Goku? No, Goku there. No, I worked on a certain sort of guy. I had profound sadness in it. No. No, I worked on Zubas. Is it raining?

No, it's not raining. Oh, the rain. Oh, yeah. Well, he was going to do is it raining? Is there a storm outside? Storm's coming. But no, fucking Alpha has to just spoil like spoiler ass. No fun Black Book Alpha.

Alpha, did you work on Goku's implementation in Smash? No. Yes, you did. Say yes, say yes. No. Then we can say Indivisible artist confirms. No, I would know. I worked.

I worked on Luffy and Separat. There is Smash confirmed. Oh, my God, can you believe it? See, you hear this motherfucker? Damn it. Hear this with his with his fucking Photoshop files, putting secret layers underneath the artwork. I saw that.

Hiding shit from us, which was more embarrassing, the Naruto garbage or the Gout garbage? You're the Gout Naruto garbage. I've been based on Naruto. I did put something under the notation for now. Have you seen my intro? Have I have seen your intro? Hey, I want to tell everybody something really impressive

about Willie's stream intro. That's real garbage. That's that is a nearby to this location. And that is actual trash that was put out a while ago that is filled with red bowls and half eaten sandwiches and whatever the fuck Matt puts in the trash. That is real garbage. I can't believe you fucking laid down on that disgusting roof.

Sometimes fucking got under that real trash. That's what you have to do with your intros. You got to you got to dial it back in a different way. Like his people are going to go. Oh, he just filled up a bunch of fucking bags with like paper towels or whatever. No, that is real trash. When I threw a bunch of sand and Willie's face

on a podcast preview video, I just used garbage. It wasn't actual sand. A lot of people were worried. It was just a ripped up napkin. Like the very one. Matt, I did put Easter eggs on your intro. I saw one. I saw one.

Motherfucker. I saw one. Uh-huh. There's five. Damn it. I only saw one and I look through it. Can't stop. Stop because I'll look again because his PSD files are miles away from us and we can't get to them.

There's layers of meta tags that you have to like decrypt to just see the Easter egg. It's like an ARG. Who is this for, man? It's just for me. Yeah, exactly. So Disney trained us to put the hidden mickeys everywhere. That's why that's why I put the Easter eggs everywhere.

Wasn't there one in Hunchbatch and Notre Dame? Like the one on the Hidden Mickey? It's like every Disney film. No, there was like a weird like, oh, that shouldn't be there type thing that people have freeze framed on Hunchback of Notre like the car in Pixar, like the pizza truck. And yeah, yeah. I know there's that big fat dick and a little mermaid

on the cast. Yeah, the marketing guys. Dildo duty in Hitman. Yeah, got to find all the dildos. Was it in Hitman, too? Hitman for the trophy. That's absolutely. It's a trophy to find all the dildos.

There's a dildo trophy. Like it just pops out when there's like a Japan. Didn't want them, though. Oh, there was one hidden behind the wall. But that was their sex. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I don't know because I didn't work on Hitman absolutely that much.

So I maybe you did. But whatever. All right. Anyway, we have defeated Alpha Gambo. We have completed our dildo duty. No, out of here. Go back to your fucking phone. Yeah, we banish you banish you. Oh, I'll I'll be back back to the art hole from whence you came.

Don't be in the shadow realm. It stinks in here. All right, later, guys. Later. All right, later. Can we do some check? No. Can I can I can I can I can I am the podcast? Oh, no, mother fuckers. Goodbye, guys.

I'm just going to mute him. I'm just going to mute him. Just end the podcast right here. Just kill him.
