So, uh, yeah, it's not quite as evident, but this is, in fact, quite embarrassing. Yes, it's quite embarrassing. This is an embarrassing situation. This is what most people say about us. All right, so I should mention, I've been, I've... This is a visual. I've been here for an hour, so if anyone should go home and change, it's you, Willie, because you just got here.

So, we just happened to walk in, and it turns out that Pat and I are wearing the same shirt. For no reason. It's the Virgil Outplayed shirt. The worst? Devil May Cry 5 isn't even out. Oh my God, my whole thing fell off. Did you spill everything? No, my chair fell apart.

Oh, that finally happened to you, because it happens to me all the time. I've had this chair since 2013, just saying, just saying. Yeah, well, I didn't have any of these office chairs, so I had to get one when we got this whole thing going. One whole week I spent working at VMC, and they were like, we have no projects left, so build chairs for a week. Oh, you got one of those? So, I got kind of beast at it.

Okay. Then they fired me, because I didn't put any bugs in that week. Were there any bugs? And I said, well, you had me making chairs. He's like, I don't know who made you do that, but that's not, you didn't do any work, so you're fired. That's VMC Game Labs, available in many credits. So, the worst part is, is that these, we did not even buy these shirts.

These were gifts. These were gifts. They were, and they're cool gifts that we got from a fan we met down at PAX, I want to say. If I remember correctly, it was a man involved with Lizard Lick, and it was like, oh, cool. That's a cool Virgil pixel shirt. I like that. You can tell we appreciate it, because we decided to wear it on the same day.

Yeah, I was having a pretty Virgil-y weekend. You did. So, I decided that you got all the way to the end of Bloody Palace. Yeah. That's for real. I've never gotten anywhere close. Okay. Thank you.

I, fortunately, do have a solution of sorts, in that, I'm not taking my shirt off. No. Well, he would ever suggest either of you do that. I don't know. But today, being a hackaday, I brought a change of clothes, so I could go switch to my other shirt. Okay. So, I can do that live, and fix this embarrassing situation right here now.

You can just buy an apricorn shirt. No, not way too hot. It'll get sweaty. Yeah. Even though this is a audio podcast, we can't have, you will hear the same. You will hear the sameness, and it's not going to be great, so I'm going to go fix the situation right now. So, with that said, I wish I could do a full-on Yakuza, and rip it off, and have the tattoo

glowing. I don't think we're there yet, unfortunately. But we're not there yet. We might get there soon, though. Well, those are magic clothes, because they're able to take off their jackets, and their shirts in one motion. They're like cheap Hulk Hogan suits, that they just explode. Well, E, do you have any canvases bags back there that I could have?

I don't. I, as a hot influencer, demand my canvas bag. Well, don't blow it too early. No, I want to talk about it now. No, we will, but you can't front-load it with, you got to make them wait for the dumb story. But it's so dumb. It's so dumb. I was just telling you.

There's more today. Do you see that? No, about the bag? No, about different stuff. No, okay. I don't want to know about that stuff. Wait, I know that there's a patch coming. Yeah, the patch is the problem.

Oh. Yeah. Okay. I was reading up on it. This is some type of gift that always keeps gifts. Oh, it's, it's the, I, I, Fallout 76 hadn't come out this podcast of nothing to talk about. I feel like. Literally nothing.

I feel like I'm enjoying Fallout 76, crashing and burning more than I could have ever enjoyed it as a game. The thing with it is that it's going to be fine because it's just some spin-off multiplayer nothing thing. You know what I mean? It's the biggest game they've ever worked on. Yeah, sure is. Every team, every team at Bethesda, all our partners at our, at our other studios, everyone

here at Cetimax working on it. But they, it looks like if you know it wasn't going to be ready, you shouldn't have done that. You shouldn't have said shit like that. I heard. What you got? Okay. That's good too.

I heard a little, from a little birdie that the game was straight up pushed out six months early to get holiday sales. So I have a fix in the form of a Star Platinum shirt. For audio listeners. Yes. From Ciel Morrison, awesome artist, one of our friends, one of our friends on Twitter and designed a super cool Star Platinum. So we're doing that.

And thus the embarrassment is over. It's over. Let the record show. Let the record show that I did the change this time. So the next time this happens. The next time this happens. It's not on me. I will go home and I will change.

Next time this happens. It's fucking in on me. When this happened, it was a Dudley shirt, but there was no camera. That was like five years ago. It was not as long as it goes, you think. Yeah. So those seem like a while ago. I've kind of, I've kind of rolled beyond a lot of those.

Yeah. Eternal rival stuff. Eternal rival shirts. Yeah. That was when we're like shirt virgins. They're great shirts, but they were the selection at the time was there's no fighting game shirts. Yes. So you're going to go eternal rival or bust.

And now we've, the tech has gotten a lot. A lot. Breaker T-shirt thing that had the dragon pun, sorry, the tiger uppercut. There was one other site that had like two video game shirts. Oh, well, there's, there's the broken tier stuff where it's like tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger. No, there's a way before broken tier was like the one that was in a college font and it just said tiger uppercut.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the same. So that was yes. That was like a college busted teas or something like that. They had that one and they also had the Hadoken in the Heineken logo.

Yeah. Right. They were not even on fighting game specific sites. I was freaked out when I saw that Penny Arcade Hadoken shirt for the first time, like at a, at a con. Oh, down, down, forward, forward. Yeah. I freaked out when I saw that.

Yeah. I remember the first time I saw the Shoryuken version of that was actually like this girl in college had it on her hoodie and I was like, that's a fucking cool hoodie. Where'd you get it? She's like, I stole it from my boyfriend. I was like, oh. Yeah. As you want to do.

That's how it do. Weird, weird deck. I want it. So yeah. That was the thing. Really, where's my bag? Your bag? My influencer bag.

Well, I said, you are entitled as you are an influencer, however, we got it. We got to let it sit. We got to let it marinate for a little bit. All right. We'll get there. That's good. You gave an opening course. Yeah.

I want it so bad. Okay. Well, we, I mean, a lot of things happened, but I guess we might as well. What happened to you? We touched on like five topics in, we sure did five minutes. So let's start with a normal week. I suppose I'll, I'll take the lead this time. Hey, man.

What's up? Yeah. So, uh, this week, I pretty much, I decided to do some, I kind of hinted at the thought and I've, I've since committed to it. If it breathes. Uh, no, not that kind of thoughts. Ha ha. Ha ha.

Committed to the, committed to the funny, is that like an engagement joke? I just, I just hurt. So I'm doing this new thing where, okay, cause that would have been a pretty good, a pretty good one. No, I would never, but no, I'm just doing this thing where I speak. I would go on, okay, fine, whatever, go, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, so no, it was committed to something. Uh, I committed to the idea of, um, just going fucking ham and, uh, waking up early

and running. Okay. How early? What's early? Wow. For us, that's really early. That's early for most people. That's late for me.

No, for, no, for farmers, that's super late. Well, farmers aren't people. That's mostly late for me because I have to get up like maybe 30 minutes before that for kitties. Oh really? Just like, yeah. You have, you have child obligations. Yeah.

That's true. Parental obligations do get you up early. So then you have to make the decision, like, should I stay up and live a life? No. Or should I go back to bed? Most of the time, I'm like, I should probably stay up. 8 a.m. Yeah.

8 a.m. used to be a, like, wake up and go to school and or wake up and go to work. I had to go to work. Yeah. Cause my, the testing office I was in was on PNF and I'm in, and I'm in the West Island. So the people that don't know that, that's a far distance. I don't think, I don't think I've ever woken up eight to go to school. Like I always woke up like much earlier than I always woke up at like 6 30, no matter what

school I was going to. Huh. No. Out of bed by eight, get ready and eat breakfast and then get to school by nine type of thing. And that's like elementary school, right? That, no, that was high school as well. Really? Yeah.

High school started at nine? High school started at nine? Mine started at 7 55. I don't know what to tell you dude. Bullshit. Like the one time there was anything like really early was like get to school at eight was for like basketball tryouts and it was like dead cold, like, like dead, like no one was in the faculty gets there at like 8 30.

And like, yeah, students roll in at nine. That's how it always was. Bullshit. Ever since the Sheen High and the question about whether they're ready, I found a doctor's office that does some type of eternal sunshine of a spotless mind sort of thing to me. So I've blocked out successfully all high school memories except for the most damaging one. Okay.

I don't remember when my high school started. Yeah. I actually don't know. I'm kind of locked down whenever that comes around. Well, I could tell you a bunch of stories, but they wouldn't be very fun to hear on the podcast. Well, I did hear a bunch of stories that were fun to me. Because you're a fucking prick.

But I do know that those those are notice of viewers at home, the lack of laughter on my face. I do. I do recall. So what I did do have you dropped? So if you stopped doing it already, if you're already quick, because I would have. No, no. So I've decided the road work era begins right better have a hoodie on.

Yeah, I do. And I've gotten out and started doing started doing some road work and you know, like road work kind of sucks, though it's not a fun time. So they never finish it in this fucking town. So what I what I realized after the first day was I was like, there there's got to be a fucking treadmill within distance. Yeah, you decided to do this during what might be the shit. It's snowing outside and it's shit snowing too.

It's like piss snowing. Turns out there's a gym, a block away and I'm like fucking great. There's always walk in, sign me up for your scammiest scam plan. Give it to me. And like it was like and it was like, hey, so and you could see like the pitch gearing up like she starts summoning the sigils like all she she can see she can see this mark come in. Yeah, willing to pay whatever attention devil may cry gamers Dante needs your credit card.

You know, like you've got the room. Why not just grab a treadmill yourself? No, because I know that those become coat racks. Okay. Treadmills become coat racks. Don't I don't I made that mistake twice in the past. And I won't be doing it a third time. I shan't be doing it a third time.

I'm rather I'm going to instead either hit the road or do it this way because I hit the road and then yeah. And so fortunately I was like, great. That's right there. So I don't have to be cold for too long. So yeah. So every day this week I've gotten up and just kind of walked out and then did a little I did an early morning thing treadmill naked.

No, no, no, no, I'm doing it hoodie up as well because I want to get so dangerous. No, you'd have to have at least shoes on. Yeah. Couldn't do it barefoot. You can't do it. Don't don't do that. And of course having shoes on makes you about 500,000 times more naked. Treadmills are being naked with your shoes on as a nightmare.

Treadmills are dangerous and you shouldn't. Yeah. Yeah. It's the head three or four jokes just ready to fly out of my mouth. And then and then you yeah. I just got it. I felt I felt could it be energy in the room and it quickly dissipated. Exactly.

Could that could those jokes perhaps make you a prick? Pat. Not as much as you did. Yeah. So. So anyway. Everyone die in your stories. Yeah.

Okay. I didn't know. Yeah. All right. So my inner child did fair enough. So so then we've got the the whole thing where I'm like, you know, you do your morning thing. And then it also happened to be like, I'm like not I'm doubling that up on top of like

the boxing and shit that's going as well. So it's effectively becoming a term that is that people use called to a days where you get into workouts a day and I'm like, yeah, and I'm just like, oh my God, you can't let anybody see you get that pump. It's a secret pump. It's a secret pump. I'll see the lucky thing is that means you get to skip the cardio at the other one because you did the cardio in the morning.

Except to that. And as a is a coach for enforcing that cardio. So you're not just telling them it's cool. Yeah. I did it. I did it. I did my homework. You know, don't worry about it.

Yeah. So no, it's it's a it's a big it's a big fucking extra ass thing that you're doing, which means that the days feel really long by the time 10 p.m. rolls around. I'm like, oh, oh, I'm one. I'm actually done with the day right about now. Some big physical activity, let's just say it's walking out all day, like, let's say doing like a Christmas shopping thing. You're just out for hours and that that makes a day just by itself.

So two things bookended like that's that's a big I was really surprised by that, you know, like, I was like, oh my God, this is how normal people get to the end of their night and go, well, I'm tuckered out because yeah, I was like, I was approaching like nine to 10. And I was like, there's been a lot of a lot of consciousness. I'm kind of done with that right now. And usually that'd be like right when I'm revving up to go like, you know, do whatever I'm going to be working on because nighttime is awesome.

Like I'm super nocturnal. So the fact that it immediately man. Yes. Hey, man. Oh, hey, I knew you knew you couldn't resist it. It was it. That was the biggest surprise. And I guess that is how you regulate your sleep and or I have the complete opposite effect

and it is completely goddamn infuriating when I go to fucking work out before the podcast like say 10 can't I have to sleep like I'm dead though the days that I come in like if I fucking work out at 10 p.m. 11 p.m. wired for seven hours crazy, crazy. Wow. I think I brought it up when you do when you told me about your night 100% reverse effect. When you told me the only time that really works is like, yeah. I tried. I tried the 24 hour gym back when I lived like down in La Salle.

And I remember like, yeah, go and try to go to get a workout at like 2, 3 a.m. because it was convenient for me and just it was awful. It was just like, I'm like, no, I'm not feeling active right now. Like I want to work on things and I'm feeling efficient, but I do not want to work out and be exhausted. And also, you don't know what kind of weirdos come out to the gym at 3 a.m. You get the weird. Yeah.

Yeah. Have you ever been like coming back from a party and you go by one of those 24 hour gym places and you see this one guy. The fighting game characters. Yeah. They come out. They come out. You know that you have multiple floors and you can see into them.

This one had multiple floors. Yes. Absolutely. Energy cardio maybe. You don't want to. It wasn't one of those, but yeah, you don't want to risk it, man. You don't know, you know. And then if, and here's the thing, there's always just one or two.

There's the person working the front and then there's the weirdo fighting game character and you're going to go do your thing. And at some point they might start walking up to you and you don't know where this is going. Yeah. And it's usually not something good. Anything. You don't know what.

I don't want that moment. I don't want that. So I'm not risking that after, after my wedding, I was like, oh, I'll still go to the gym. But after the wedding was like November and then December. And I'm like, I'm not going to the gym. It's cold and dark. And it was like, you know, it was a good 10 minute walk and 10 minute walk and like January Montreal is not a walk you want to, you want to try to avoid.

So we just stopped going. It's crisp. Thankfully now in my new place, I have the gym right inside floors below me. The only problem with it is that the machines that I like, there's map machines. I'm like, that's a big map machine right there. Yes. There's no impact, but I can still, I can still do my stuff. And if there's someone on there, I'm like, oh, I'll go back upstairs.

So now, now I'm like, yeah, I'm playing again now that the convenience of the gym in your own building is there kind of too much of a, all you really get is the extra guilt for not fucking capitalizing on it. So, so I felt that a few weeks ago and you know what you should do? You just get really smelly and stay near them and then they'll leave. It was like, you really need to go. It's really terrible if you don't go when it's like, I would kill to have one right there. I'm like, yeah, I started like not a lot, but like once or twice a week, I've been at

least trying to get that smell and you don't have a local summoner trying to bargain your soul for no money on the line. Yeah. Nothing. Whereas in these places, it's like, oh, they like, they enjoy it, right? It's like, like they feed MP off of you, you know, when you walk in and I'm basically like, it's the, yeah, yeah, the judging menu starts coming out. Like they start going through and then I'm like, listen, listen, you can have all of

it. I don't care about your pitch. You don't have to sell me anything. I know exactly what I'm here for. You need some protein. It's a very specific thing. Would you like, just take my card and here's my name and just put me in the machine and that's it.

You know, and it was almost like, oh, you know, when I had a trainer for a bit, I was like, I really don't think I can do that. Like, you know, I've, I've injured my knees in the past and like it's, it's probably not the best idea. And he's like, ah, come on, just get in there. And he's like kind of near me and he's like, what's that cracking sound? I'm like, that's my knee. And he's like, oh, okay, let's get you off that.

Shall we? I'm like, okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, like I didn't, you don't believe how many people are like, I don't want to do this because they don't want to do it.

Yeah. And it's not like, you know, or I can't tell, but I can tell with that. That was really loud. You should get that checked out. Yeah. Yeah. No. And the other problem too is that like normal legit treadmills that everyone has, like they

do get the job done, but their suit, their abuse on your ankles and knees because they're, they don't simulate real running and like there's, there's better treadmills that actually simulate what running on the ground is like the, the, the, the, the earth coming towards you as you stand in place, puts all your impact on the bottom of your foot so that you're hitting and just knocking around those bones with all your weight going down on top of it. Right. And when you run and have to move yourself forward naturally, the, the ball of your foot

hits the ground first and absorbs a lot of the impact. And then you pull yourself forward and you don't have as much of a shock. I'll be real. I fucking hate the treadmill. If I have to, if I have to pick one, I always go for the elliptical. Yes. Because the impact of a treadmill is not real running. It sucks.

It's not as, you feel lame on an elliptical. I know what you mean, but, but like what they actually need is there's these better new tech treadmills that you have to update that are not like 20 years old, you know, that, that like actually make you push the, the, the treadmill around and like they simulate what it's like to be on, on the, on the road. So have you done the Naruto run on a treadmill? I have not. You would have to make it go so fast for that not to look so stupid.

Yeah. Um, but, but, but, you know, so either way it's, it's, it's found time, I guess is the term and, uh, it's, yeah, it's, it's a weird thing. But like today, for example, it's like, yeah, I went and I did one and then I immediately, you know, came back and like fucking we're doing this. And then as soon as this is done, I'm going to go to the other thing. And as soon as that's done, I'm going to go by like, it's just a nonstop five activity day.

As long as it's having this structure to your day, why did you put so many of these things on Mondays? Uh, it just, they're unnegotiable time frames, you know, and, and, and this thing, it's, it's, it's, you know, I, I missed that, but you can't control it like Dark Phoenix. Oh, yes. They're perfect. Excellent. Do you remember Dark Phoenix?

Do you remember that? Do you remember that game that you like? I don't. Me either. I'm so glad I have a physical copy of Marvel three just in case. You see that? I have multiple. You guys see that Marvel three is coming out again on Friday?

Sure. Different roster. Sure. It's a smash joke that I'm making. Yeah. I did see, I did see, I did see, I, I followed a bunch of shit over the weekend with smash and it's, well, I'll get into it later, I guess, but have you been keeping up with the bullshit people have been discovering?

I did see a great, a great tweet in the form of, um, hey, Ryu and Ken means in Street Fighter 5, all your season four wish lists will be coming out this Friday. Um, so the whole, the whole weekend of following like smash players tweets has been, you know, this character looks like they suck cue like footage of just the most broken thing I can imagine. Okay. And just like, oh, it's, it look, it looks like the smash equivalent of like Marvel two where everything is broken.

Everything's broken. Everything. Oh, you, you know, it's an Aurora just hits up B near the edge, it kills at 0%. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Honestly. Okay.

Kind of looks like that. The only smash thing I saw that made me chuckle was the guy that's like, oh, I'm a Simon main now and just shows the picture of communion wafers and Red Bull and he's like, this is what's going to be fueling. That's pretty strong. It was a soup of communion waivers with like this white can of not Red Bull of monster and it was like this shocking white, like, so it looked kind of religious looking at white and gold, you know, so I'm like that, that's strong.

I fucking love communion wafers, the, the, the those, all those photo shops of just at like videos of Virgil cosplayers, just chugging power, right? Yeah, exactly. Our fucking amazing. Um, but, but anyway, so, uh, Friday there was a, um, an actual boxing exhibition at my gym as well. So I got to go watch some, yeah, I got exactly. So you know, the early Ippo episodes where, yeah, yeah, yeah, the early episodes where

it's like, it's a little crowded. It's not completely empty. Oh yeah. Yeah, but it's the right amount of people going like, hmm, who's, who's got what going on, you know, and you get to see some, some dudes coming out and a lot of amateurs with the basics, some wild players coming out with their crazy styles, you know, and one dude who just thought he was like, um, Prince of the Seam was just basically boxing with his hands down and like just doing the, you know, the Dudley, the Dudley counter thing.

He's doing lots of that and just like, bold being. Yeah. Being ridiculous with it, but it was the reason people keep their hands up, man. Yes. Yes. It's the one on one. It's the straight up, like hit though, get hit, keep your hands up. Like it's so basic, but, but anyway, um, so I got to watch some of that and see some

of the, like, uh, the, I guess techniques in motion and action. Viada style, uh, had you may like, like, he shouldn't have won, but he won nothing like that. No upsets. Uh, I mean, exhibition. I know, well, that's exactly so there were most of the matches were demos, which means they're three rounds and then there's no winner. You just kind of like, you're showing off like thing for that match.

And, uh, Ibo was like, okay, you, Ibo just has to survive, survive the three rounds or whatever. Yeah. You got knocked down twice. Okay. And then he wasn't like, he refused to get knocked down the third time. And Viada was like, what the fuck was with this guy? Yeah.

No, there was a little anime tropes. I wish would crop up in life more often. Like I want you to say to me during one of the three round exhibition matches, a rival that left the gym years ago is now back and yeah, he has horseshoes in his gloves. I mean, I don't got anything like I will say, I will say that like two things that are rad to watch, especially cause again, it's amateur. So it's like you're seeing some, you're seeing like some people kind of try shit

out, you know, and if it works, it works. And if it doesn't, it doesn't. But there was one dude that was like going really Steve Fox on the situation where she loved that, which is, which is pretty much like a, like after, after you throw at anything, just really big dodges and weaves out of the way, you know, a lot of energy over dodging, but you're supposed to like really not get hit, you know, so like when it works, it looks so good, but you get gassed fucking quick.

If you fucking burn through all of you, all of you guys blowing red and he's low, exactly. Right. And then, and then the night, and then the last round becomes a bunch of clenches because you can't breathe, you know, so it's like, you're trading off hype for shame later, you know, same thing for like dude that comes in and just starts going like wild on the combos. Just like one, two, three, one, two, one, two, one, two, then you're tired as

you're going to a boxing place and know more about boxing than anybody at this table. I need to run an idea past you and you can tell me if it's bad or not. Let's go. Clenches suck. Yes. They're, they're bad for viewers, basically. Like they're boring.

They're like, especially really clench heavy matches. Okay. Like reference in and it goes, come on, right? What if you equipped the boxers with little shock pads like that cattle prod? And if you clench for more than one second, you get a fucking jolt. See the problem is that clinch is an actual useful technique that would apply properly. I know.

Like so is kicking, but also, and like, and like people have worked entire straight crazy strategies around proper clinch work and, and actually proper clinch work and, and, and, and like getting in some shots. Like I've seen a couple of dudes where like they're, well, okay, the infighter thing, you know, where you're up close and then like you get a little clench and then you don't clench so long that the ref breaks it up, but like after getting that close, you can, that you're in prime position for an uppercut and a hook.

I only, I only, I only apply this mentality of like to boxing because boxing already has like incredibly stringent rules about what you can and cannot do. Yeah. Right. Like if it was MMA or, or, or, or K1 or some shit, like fine. Right. So that's the one thing that's the one thing where you do, where I like, I think everyone can, that watches can, can feel it.

If you watch like, uh, uh, MMA fights, right? And like stuff like UFC, every time like, you see a clinch happen in boxing, it's like, Oh, basically that's the ref stepping in to like save somebody from, from what would have been a takedown, you know? Cause in UFC, they don't break up the clinch. It's a part of it. And then you, then you follow it through to its logical conclusion and then I'll punch you in the asshole and then you see what happens.

Right. And then you Craig Marduk, the situation we'll get there. Um, but, but yeah, it is, it is something where like it does get lame, but also lame has worked and all, and Floyd fucking Mayweather is the shittiest fight in the universe to watch, but he's still, there's undefeated for a reason. I don't know who cares. The biggest like perfect record for a reason.

I'm not a boxing fan. So total money. So my opinion is default moot, but if you win and the crowd that it is an enter, people will pay money to be entertained. Right. Nobody cares to go watch a fucking boring fight. Oh, cause the guy won unless they're gambling, but like, if it's the strategy and it works, then there's no incentive to not do it.

No, that. Okay. Listen, like, like, no, the box, rather win the match. Yes. As the boxer, right? Yeah. So, so the other thing, the other thing is that like, without even his style, there's other things where like, if you just have really good footwork and only

a jab, you have nothing but a jab, you can still win fights. So it's the most boring thing in the world. Here's my view on that. Right. It's plain. So, um, over at core a gaming, um, what's his name? Uh, Jared Gerard. I'm sorry, buddy, but core a gaming brought up an interesting point about

basketball in a similar context back in the day. And I forget all these players' names. Apologies. Uh, this is fucking the first six, five plus guy was like almost seven feet tall shows up in basketball and there's no gold tending rule at basketball at the time. So what does he fucking do? He's just gold.

He just gold tends all day. It's fucking impossible to get in, which leads his team to many, many victories. Being the lamest fucking way to play the game possible. They lose to a team that discovers, well, what if we score real early, like real, or like first 30 seconds and just play fucking keep away with the ball for 55 minutes, so, which leads to an 18, 19 score because there's no shot clock. Shot clock. Yeah.

Because why would it? Yeah. So the rules change. According to, because it's fucking boring to watch. So they add gold tending, then they add a shot clock, and then they add a three point line so that players who aren't big and tall can actually do it because it makes the game more entertaining to watch. By that logic, we should be attaching all sorts of dangerous

implementation. Okay. So Pat, you are correct in one thing in the idea that sports in general have become too rigid in their framework because they're more so tradition now than ever. So we don't want to change things about them. We don't want to update rules. We're very, very, very hesitant to ever.

But then why did you get so fail fail? See, it was exactly all types of like, like, like, like, like the introduction of instant replays that use a timeout with the camera system or whatever was like one of the biggest things ever. And it's not an actual rule change. It's just a thing that gets added so that the refs can make more accurate calls at your cost. Yeah.

The difference of boxing, unless it's like one of those rare ones that goes to like more than like three or four rounds, it's like, it's a fast sport. I remember hockey about a decade ago or a little more, they changed something to do with the fucking blue line. I forget what the fuck it was, but it was a significant rule change. And they also changed the size of the fucking ranks. Do you remember that? There's also the glowing puck, right?

Well, no, that's just the fucking dumb Americans. Sorry, guys, we're all fucking blind. That's just the best because it made it look like a video game. Yeah, the ice, but like, it reminds me of, do you remember when people talking about fighting games and like talking about heroes of the storm specifically with MOBAs, right? Okay. Because League of Legends and Dota map, the map is the map, right?

The map is the map. You don't change the fucking soccer pitch every couple of seasons. Maybe you fucking should because indoor soccer is more fun to watch because the pitch is smaller. So clearly, like you are the type of person that would go on to found Megalo box with enough, with enough money. I can see that happening. Um, and I, and there is, I want to put a tiger on the field and, and so that's,

that's, there's a difference between we need to update the rules or at least have a, have a discussion about whether or not things should be tweaked. It's like, every, every couple of, whatever way that these things were currently actually good once a decade, right? As opposed to never, um, that, that definitely should occur in this way, but also put a tiger on the field. Yes. But also I know you, and I know you can appreciate

blaming it out to win in, in C situations in, in like, so boxing. So I will say one thing about that camp to win. No, I don't, I hate that, but, um, but the, the thing with boxing and it's tough, right? Because boxing has an MMA and any fight sport, any fight sport has, you might just be well rolling a D 20 to see if you get your money's worth because you have two outcomes that no one's happy with.

You have the sub 20 second knockout, which is rare, but can occur. I wasted money on this paper. I, I, I wait, I came to Vegas to watch the fight and the fight lasted one round time to riot or burn that cop car. Oh wow. They went 12 with 15, but whatever rounds and tied and no one. No one. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty one clean shot. So, and we, and the match ended in a tie. So then we come to the natural conclusion of all things. Sudden death. Wrestling is the greatest sport in the world.

Okay. All it does is cater to the audience and entertain you. Well, if it's good, it can entertain you. It can. I mean, let's not pretend that boxing doesn't have kayfabe. Let's not pretend that Don King and, and, and, and fucking Daredevil's dad weren't a part of, you know, this, this corrupt ass fucking fight, fix games.

It's, it's not part of the story of the fight. It's, it's an actual thing of like, that's an undercurrent, but apparently there was some, some decision recently for a big fight that was just like the most outrageous, like robbery ever involving a guy named fury. Tyson's theory. Yeah. Yeah.

That might happen this week. Yeah. Apparently like, cause I watched clips of the fight and like, I don't know, boxing, that guy seemed to hit that other guy a bunch and that guy lost. Yeah. Well, judge, you never know what you're going to get with judges and, and, and that's why they, they have different

people scoring it. However, they just pay them all. What if you just pay them all? You just do that. Yeah. You know what I never understood why, why pay the fighter to take a dive? Why not just rig the judges?

Who's going to stop you? Cause I think it's much easier to talk into a fighter's ear rather than three judges. And exactly. And it's like, it's like, it's in the same way that it's like, uh, a panel of judges in court or whatever. There's a whole board and then there's rafts. And then there's, there's multiple people.

You have to corrupt. Why not just bribe everyone? But who doesn't love you only have so much honey. Why don't drip it all in one person's ear rather than spread it out and it only takes one snitch to like out your shit, blow your situation. That's true. So, you know, but anyway, uh, that was a fun time.

It's a fun time. That was a fun time, but yeah, sports should get updated. I do. I agree with that. I think we should. I think sports, every sport should be anaphylblitz. You know what? Yeah.

Yeah, I think people would not get these concussion diseases. If the sports were more lethal, I say that I mean, instead of getting injured, they just straight up get killed. Well, no, but like, you know how, uh, what's it called? Concussive encephalopathy would something, whatever for, for wrestlers and for, for football players, the problem is the football players are able to play for 10, 15 years. Like if they were getting there, if they're getting their

legs chewed off by tigers, uh, you'd never have the chance to get a concussive brand. I think I heard a stat that's like the average NFL career was like three and a half and like something really, I'll be real. I played a lot of mutant league football when I was a kid. I just want mutant league football. I watched a TV show. I played a hockey game or an apocalypse for that to happen.

You would be fucking awesome. You remember a mutant league hockey where you could kill the other team and all right. So what I, what I actually think is a pretty good example of things needing to get updated. And I say this with no interest as a spectator whatsoever, baseball, uh, soccer, which we, I couldn't be further away from, like, is like, when the fact that games regularly end

zero zero, you should probably consider updating something less, again, hey, in coming Simpsons reference, the thing word shows Ken Brockman broadcasting the big soccer thing between who's the greatest, uh, country in the world met Mexico or Portugal and he's like, holds it, holds it, holds it, and then cut over to hold it all like Europe loves that shit so much. And it's like, and any attempt to change it will never get over

here and it's current. So any, any attempt to change it, any attempt to change it will just be met with like burning cop cars. But you know what, then you need to gimmick it up. You need to make Sega soccer slam real. Guess what borderline offensive stereotypes for each of your countries and you need insane special moves. What if I told you that fun soccer already exists?

It's indoor soccer. Yeah, I mentioned that earlier. Indoor soccer is so much better. All you have to do is make the pitch like a third of the size. And there's no out of bounds. Wow. It's so much better than everyone knives. It's like, it's basically like hockey style.

Okay. You can't give everyone knives, but I think every player doing this, every player can do one physical action and they like burn it up if they use it. So it could be a shove, a tackle. But after you're allowed one, then you can't do it complimentary yellow card. I'll be, I'll be, everyone gets a free yellow card.

Yes. I'll be every player. I'll be real like for as much as I joke about like, oh, we should just let soccer people stab each other. Like soccer, basketball and hockey, they're almost identical sports. The only real difference is what object you're trying to get into what goal.

Correct? Sure. The main difference with hockey is it is already doing the things I'm literally asking for. You gave everyone a stick and a knife on their feet. And then you're allowed to, you run, you run, how about this? How about this? You have to dial it back if you, that's why I meant physical

one physical thing, but you can't bring foreign weapons. If you take a dive on an injury and someone comes over to check, to check it out and you don't have that, then they break it for real. How about that? Oh, so yeah, okay. You take a chance on a fake injury, but then they have to really give you that injury.

You know what, that's a great idea. Is it a, is it a RAF or is there a trained medical professional professional? It's a doctor with a hammer. Okay. They know exactly how to break it in the right way. Yeah. All right.

Yeah. I think that's fair. Your ankle hurts seems fine to me. Crack. No, yep. There you go. All right. But they have to be a medical professional.

They have to be like, and if they, what if they go, it could be, it could not. I can't really tell then. Coming for X-rays. And then if the X-ray comes back negative, they break. Yeah. But do they come back to the game after the, no, no, they save it and they do a big event.

They do a big event. Oh, you just line it up. Yeah. No, no, you're like, Hey, it's the, it's the, it's the, it's the red card show. But you tie them to posts. Yeah. Like Christian.

Yeah. You can have an X-ray machine in the, in the locker room. You could get it done real quick. You could rejoin the game depending on what. Okay. That's the end of the game then. That's the end of, you know, when they all slap hands, they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Then big burly men come and take the, the, the fucking losers and drag them to the red card pit. Yeah. There you go. And if someone yells boo every time, a lot of people are saying, you know, I imagine that I am just advocating for blood sport.

Yeah. It's fucking cool. Um, this is what happens when we don't support megabots, right? This is what happens when the, when the mecha fights don't turn out to be what we want it to be baseball. I think baseball is the worst. So baseball is the worst to watch baseball has one thing going for it that none of the other sports have dogs.

No, you can get a hot dog somewhere else. No, you can't, but I want ballpark hot dog giant lazy fat asses can fucking crush it. No, that the MMA has that has had that happened back in the day, way back in the day, back when it was totally irregular. No, so baseball. Bopsap cried against the much smaller men of baseball has one genuine thing that I find personally interesting about it.

And it is the only sport that I can think of that's like major league that doesn't have a time based limit on the end of the game. It has a score limit, which means that what was that fucking game the other day that had like eight extra innings, people were there for like fucking four hours. It means that no matter how far behind your team is, the possibility for a total reversal does exist.

You get to points in a soccer hockey golf game, even where you're like, oh, they're going to win. Yeah, there's an there's 40 minutes left of the game. But yeah, I absolutely think all sports could do with what fighting games have, which is comeback mechanics, you should be able to have one big Hail Mary that can get you back in. And you get you get the snitch. She's just an end state.

The score equalizer. Because you can get the snitch in like three seconds if you're good enough, but like or whenever it's released. But I mean, like, like revenge meter, I think if you're doing so bad, you should be able to come back. You know what they should do. You have one shot. Quidditch is the worst sport ever.

It's so bad. It's like if you had a baseball game, but over in the corner, you had a boxing match and the winner of the boxing match would determine the winner of the baseball game. If they finished the match, I don't know what that was, but you need to relax a screw when flying. But yes, there are multiple sports happening at the same time. I don't remember every credit Quidditch game described in the

books, but did any of them ever know finish with Harry always got the snitch. No, but in other games where he wasn't like involved, they'd be like, Oh, those games don't exist because they do. They do. No, it's a lie. I mean, that I'm sure there's some Wikipedia entry that like details every Quidditch game that was described in the books,

but it's like, has any of them ever finished and not the snitch being grabbed? I don't know. I don't think so. I think a few have ended with some be somebody being grievously injured and they just stopped the match and whoever had the highest score at the point at the time introduced the rules. Didn't they?

I seem to recall, I might be wrong, like them introducing it and going like, grabbing the snitch is a rare crazy thing, but if you can get it, that's how you end the game. But in every match that is described as in it's going on at the time, everyone always grabs it. Do you remember a while ago, there was some fucking high school team in the fucking States got in trouble because they fucking ran up the score on some fucking shitty loser high

school and blew them out by like 200 fucking points in a basketball game. And I was mad about what terrible sportsmanship. It's like, no, no, no, play to win. Yeah. Disrespectful shit in the universe to go. Okay, pussies, we're going to take it easy. Oh, dude.

No, no, no. Our team in Sailor Ah, we crushed another team 80 to seven and we got on the local newspaper for it. Yeah, fucking and the local assholes. Game in the front page of the Sailor Ah newspaper was just 87. You know, like it was just like, no, absolutely dominate. No, destroy. Are you are you on this team?

Yeah. Noted bully, bully, madden, destroy small children in game. Listen, sportsmanship means taking your opponent seriously as well as being a good sport. Taking them seriously means crushing them into dirt. As the great Patrice O'Neill said, man, that's what you get. That's what you get from playing with killers. Let's look for letting your son play with killers.

Oh, man. Oh, just good. Just do what a fucking Indian dance in a circle around this body. Like, fuck crush him. Absolutely. Oh, the score is not being counted these days, though. You know, anyway, the kids nowadays. It's everyone's.

Well, you know who the problem is with that, right? It's the fucking parents. It's always the parents. You I mean, you you taught you just talked about doing football, right? Matt, did you do like Little League or anything like that? I did soccer and it is softball. I'm I did I did soft. I did softball and baseball as well and basketball even for a short time.

You remember that parent and you remember the one that goes too far. And you remember the other parent that had the problem with that parent. Yeah. OK, so there's there's there's the parent you're describing. And then there's the opposite end where you see those videos on World Star. Yes. Yeah. Where the other parent just can't no matter where, no matter where. And you're and your parents are like.

They're looking into their hands. And they're just like because one person is trying to live vicariously through their child and have their dreams come true. I could never make it pro. Yeah. And the other is yeah. And the other is like, no, but feelings, though. And it's kind of like, OK, but that's not even the worst, though, because I remember here when it was like, OK, there's that.

But then there's the other thing where it's like after one score, then it's like, OK, now it's the other turn, the other team's turn. Yeah. I remember like like someone was describing how like the teacher would basically go like, OK, now it's their turn to score. And then you have you take turns scoring and then and then you celebrate. And then you give it to the other. You're like, if that if I was at that game, I would rush the rush the fucking I would rush the field and I'd start kicking children.

I think that's fine for a certain age bracket. But after the after. Well, just call it call it like call it Tiddly Wings. Don't I mean, they call it something else, right? Call it scoreball because I was on a bunch of teams that did bad. Yeah. But if you just want to like get a ball in a thing and then celebrate that, then like, just call it what it is. I don't pretend it's something else.

Kids get a little too wise. They'll be like, this is stupid. But if they if if if the kid is like, this is cool, awesome. I scored a point or whatever. Let let that kid do that. But when he's like, this is stupid, I don't get it anymore. Then, yeah, stop doing that. So it's there's two competing theories of sports, right?

There's sports as is a fun team building communal thing that your kids can do. And then there is sports as a metaphor for the child's future in the real world. There is that, right? The first one, that's pretty nice, but can be a little like pussyfooted at times. The second one can lead to parental psycho violence. And there's like, no, the loser children have to know. They have to know that they'll be losers forever.

And it's like, you can come down a little bit. Certainly if you go overboard with it, certainly. But, you know, there there is still community and and a team building in your team, winning the I guess the other parents didn't care about sports. They're like, yeah, do sports for a little bit. When you get tired of it, let us know. And I'm like, after a year, I'm like, I'm tired of this shit. And I'm like, OK, this one.

Plus, how is a child supposed to learn that they need more power, that they need more motivation, that they need more meta bots? If they don't lose, you have to have that crushing feeling and go, oh, I have to never feel this again, right? You have to find you have to find that that that question inside you. Where fighting games come in, yeah, because fighting games absolutely teach that lesson. You lose within 30 seconds of the first time you play one.

Oh, I lost. And there's no one else to blame. There's no there's nothing to look at. Oh, there's no one to. What a naive thought. Oh, you'll try to play. You'll try, you but you'll be wrong. Yeah, but when has that ever stopped?

Of course not. But deep down, I'd like to think that they know the differences at the end of every major. No one gets any orange wedges at all. No one gets any orange. We're fighting games fail. If if you or I were to set up a tournament, everyone gets orange wedges no matter the placement. Yeah, even if you drown in pools, yeah, you get that orange wedge.

Yeah, yeah, because that makes things almost always better. See, I kind of feel that what I mean, the problem, one of the problems those that people that like pick up a fighting game for the first time should probably be told, you're supposed to lose right now. You're supposed to. Your it's your it's your place in this world. It's more it's not just your station, but it's like, no, it is your cast. This is the process that you have started where you are supposed to be losing

the first you however many matches you. You know, that's the right thing to do. So don't let it eat at you in the way it would in other situations. What's up? I just have this idea of like fighting games being codified into like a ritual. You will sit in front of the blue fox altar and then the fox will defeat you and then you will go on to become strong enough to defeat the fox.

You will mark the L into your chest and contemplate. Anyway, you got to take those bells and turn them into lessons. Yes, like that was a ridicule. Anyway, that went places. But that was fun. Yeah. And then, of course, I spent a fucking I spent a day of vacationing in the Bloody Palace over in DMC for a special edition.

How many fours is it total? A hundred and one when you beat it. So a hundred floors, technically. And yeah, that was just a fucking good ass time, man. That's the real that's the real video game right there, you know, like as a video game, who cares about those levels? Yeah, those stages and what not. Whatever, it's all preparation for forty four

Angelo's in one stage coming at you. Yeah. There's content in Bloody Palace that's not in the main game. Yeah. Yeah. Like like like Alice Dungeons, like certain attacks, like the Biancos have a kamikaze attack that they never do in the main game. Huh. They do it in the high levels of I think any mode like that

should have something you can't see or else. Yeah, it's always a fun little thing or a double blitz situation where you have to fight two blitzes at once. That sounds fun. Yeah. So it was a really it was still a great time, though, because I mean, fucking the boy Virgil is just so much fun. And we haven't had a chance to play him on the channel proper. Clayton, right?

Clayton, right? Exactly. Motivation. So we have so we haven't had a chance to play him on the channel proper in any things. I was like, yeah, let's fucking just go in there. And I am so close, dude. It's so it's within grasp. I've beaten Bloody Palace with Super Virgil, so it doesn't really count. That is nothing. It's nothing at all.

But I've gotten up to Dante and I've gotten him within pips. Yeah, within pips. You can see it. You can see the crest of the hill above, but it's fucking DMD Dante. Yeah. So he's pulling out Pandora on you and he's royal guarding. And I don't know if you saw. I did not. I somebody told me. But the way that fight went down, I mean, and then here's the thing is that's where you get your credo fight as well, right?

And he gets a unique death animation there, too. But so I had a fucking really sick run going. I was feeling good. And then although actually I lost and then I came back in a second time. And the yeah, got to fucking Dante was styling really hard before that, feeling fucking good, getting the spin around, spin around and all that going. And just. Yeah, it's Virgil's triple S rank. Taunt is like he spins a single summon sword on his finger.

That's been a rune. No, no, that's been a rune, but like, I mean, it's a fidget spinner. It's cool. It's cool. Yes, way to make it cooler by calling it a fidget spinner. And it actually has a hitbox on it. So if something lands on it, it gets hit the entire duration of time. Hit. Yeah. So get to get to fucking the cannon battle gets to Dante

and the fight is in the open field, like the background changes, like it's because the bloody playlist levels as you beat each boss, they change. Yeah, they get darker and more evil. Exactly. You like you like you're like you're climbing Tartarus kind of thing, right? So you get to like the darkest, most evil red sky, lightning everywhere, fucked up nighttime thing, and then you make it to level one hundred. And it's a perfectly serene blue sky and it's a nice little grassy field. And it's Dante and you just still the circle is still the circle.

And you just go at it. And he's any and unlike, yeah, so he's I was doing it. I was using some scum tactics to counter scum his bullshit. And he just fucking pulls out the royal guard, which he does right before he dies and you get to see why this. Why I fucking love Royal Guard because it's the what it's used against you. It's fucking horseshit defensive shit that throws shit back in someone's face. Yes. All the time.

So you swing on him and you're doing your combo and suddenly you see that. Oh, these are not hits that are landing. He's just going pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, and you panic and get the fuck out of there. And like the second you do, he spends it, you know, and that would have killed you. So I dodged the first one. And then we've kind of skirmish a little bit. And then he charges up the second one. And I'm like, I know he's going to fucking do it and you have to bait it.

And then I took a swing and that was the end of that. And I was like, you know what, decent run. I'm going to come back for Bloody Palace another time when I'm feeling it, when I'm feeling proper motivated or else or else it was all for nothing. It's yeah. And but it's like you're committing to an hour and a half. Yeah, it's long. It is. It is. But next time I'm feeling it, I'm going to just jump back in there as well. But that was a good ass time.

And that was that was basically a red bull. And I immediately start yawning. This is worrying. Yeah, I'm going to throw up the archives over on the Twitch and on the Willie versus as well. So yeah, that's me. Hey, man, what up? Well, I want to talk about a game specifically. I mentioned this to Willie a little bit while ago, but for the longest time,

and especially since I showed that first gameplay trailer, I'm like, I don't know about this Dark Siders three, man. That gameplay trailer was so early. It looks so shitty. Dark Siders three is now kind of in the running for like my game of the year. OK, even with all that stuff, you know, the desert. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Matt, the THQ money hasn't arrived yet. Right. But what are you doing at your Dark Siders bag?

I did not. But before all that, I was pretty vocal with like, man, Dark Siders three is not shaping up good. And even when we played that demo, I was like, I didn't know what to think, really. Now having started that stuff to me, it did. But it was so brief, that demo now that I've started and completed the game took me about 20, 22 hours. Oh, you're through it. OK. So I just this was one of those things where I'm like, I want to get home.

I want to start playing it again. Yeah. Because that feeling even in the demo and in all the gameplay, I felt this game never actually said what it was because each Dark Siders game is pretty. Where is it? Shit on its sleeve. Yeah. We love Zelda and we love God of War combat. Yeah. And then the second one is like, sure, love Diablo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Love Prince of Persia.

Loot drop weapons. And I just never got a sense of what Dark Siders three was supposed to be. And I'm like, it's Dark Souls. Really? OK. So. But unlike, say, the surge or Lords of the Fallen, which is like. It's just so it's just so it's like, let's take some aspects of Dark Souls, specifically the ones that Matt really likes, like how level layout is, where items are placed.

Got some shortcut pornography. That's that's the entire game. Got it. How fighting is because you can get killed very, very fast. Whereas like in the first game, you had multiple health tanks. Yeah, you had all like that. But this the combat is you can get get got really fast in this. And it's it's more like you never fight more than three enemies at once. Unlike the first game where you you're just decimating waves after waves after

guys. And this is just like, yeah, like I said, on Twitter, this on consoles, it has tons of technical problems. It's been patched to shit already on the steam version. And I played that version a little bit for an hour. I'm like, oh, the frame rate is is rock solid. And it's I haven't gotten to the problem area, specifically that desert area that's towards the ends of the game, where I had like crashes. I lost about 20 minutes of progress because it defaulted to an old save.

And when I say old save, I mean the bonfire. I mean, the bonfire, not really because it's just Volgrim, the merchant. Yeah, every time you get to one of his areas, that's where you'll start. Got it. And it's like, you still have dark cidery combat. You have way more combat options than a Souls game. Yeah. Ford you. Yeah. But it's still less than dark ciders, too, which had you just doing and our side was was very devil may cry influence me.

He's not. Yeah. You know that. No, no, no, no, I did know that. But I'm saying what I mean is I didn't know that this you can. You can't air streamlined it. You cannot air juggle. Oh, interesting. You can do air attacks. Yeah. Giant flaming shore. You get into dive kicks, right? In this. No, no. The psycho crusher.

That's not now that I play the full game. That's for traversal. You cannot use that and you can use that in combat. But it did. Oh, man, because she has a work. She has like a jumping, burning charge. And then you do like a psycho crusher, a fire out of it, but it only goes up. But it's just for maneuvering for a traversal. So I'm playing through this.

And I'm like, OK, I'm this is the little rough at the start because I'm dying so much. But it has you level you. Has you put your souls because souls is always what you got in dark side. It was like the little blue screaming faces like devil may cry. And it's like, put it towards physical damage. Put it towards health or put it towards arcane damage, which is for special attacks and counters because your only defensive move

in this game is it's not witch time, but it works the same way as witch time. Dodge of the last second. You get a little bit of slow down, but it just gives you an advantage. It doesn't slow down time and just everything just kind of works for me where I'm like, I love OK, so you have a lot more physical attacks and maneuverability than you have in a soul's game. So how do you balance that? Well, unlike the first two games, you now have to physically take out

your healing item, crush it in your hand and then get the heal because in Darksiders, too, it's instantaneous. Just press up on the D pad and just yeah, very much like a Diablo potion. Exactly like a Diablo potion. And this it's like I've died so many times now, now it's a mid crush. Now it's a life jam. Now it's a life jam. Now it's an estus. Now it's a blood vial. And just aside from the technical performance, which was like not great.

But again, people were like, they patched the steam version. Now I have no problems with it. And I booted that up and I played an hour of it. I'm like, well, this certainly seems like the better avenue right now. And just I was constantly surprised because Darksiders is not a subtle series. What when you have weapons called the Redeemer and your horses called despair. If I may. Yes. Did you ever think that in 2018

you would be steeped in this much? Joe Mads still still he worked zero on this game. Nothing. He's worked. He worked on battle chasers. Not a completely different. But not even like art like designs or the people that that they just took you to work because visual split into two groups. They went to into air air airship syndicate to work on battle chasers

or they went to ghost gunfire games, which made this like that. It's just he's universe, but they just built off of it. This is not at all involved. He supports the game. He's like tweeting about it. He's like, oh, I can't wait to play it. But he's not actually working on. He was thanked in the special thanks.

Did he design Fury back in the day? I think that's kind of what I mean. I would have assumed that at the very least. He designed strife to strife was. Oh, wow. Strife. Because you think you get strife's guns again. No, OK, you get no guns. OK, because.

Darksiders, too, when we played a little bit, and I'm sure Pat knows a little bit is that little convoluted in the way you selected special moves and assigned them, you had so much that there was not enough face buttons. So you'd have to rotate out like, oh, OK, I want this to be on there now. This is like a much more elegant solution where she has four different like elemental forms like lightning, time, fire and force, which is like gravity or like whatever.

And you hold LB and you press a face button and she just switches instantaneous air. Her hair changes. Right. That also changes your secondary weapon. Got it. OK, so you always have you always have your whip, your Prince of Persia, the two thrones whip that the Dark Prince had. But you also have a flail, two double swords, a spear and a mallet. And you can switch these on the fly.

And each one has a different special move that always has the same button command. Isn't that the same number of weapons as the DS2? No, because the DS2 had like 12 types, what types? And that's that's why I mean that the combat has been pared down a little bit. And this is just a really elegant way to be like, oh, I have a new form. I have a new special like ability. Like there's Metroids.

There is there is a straight up spiderball in the game. And it's still kind of different. Or I'm like, that's really neat. Because we like Spider-Man webbing himself up into a ball. No, I mean like Metroid spiderball. Because along with all this Dark Souls level design and how everything is interconnected, it also has the Metroidvania style like, oh, I can't access this hidden area because they don't have the appropriate special move.

So it's a really nice mix of things. And I haven't played a game that's like a mix of a souls type template. It's always straight up rip off like Lords of the Fallen or the Surge or I haven't played Code Vein, but I'm assuming that's also the exact same thing. I don't know if I told you guys about this, but you know, so Anor Londo, the castle in Dark Souls one, it's based off of a famous French castle. Code Vein made an entire level and that is the same castle. And it's the same like color palette.

So it's literally it's it's functionally identical to a level lifted from Dark Souls. OK, like it is rip off. I was going to say that something like Death's Gambit, like there's 2D games that have salt sanctuary because that's true. That's true. That's true. I forgot about them. They kind of mix it up too. But like aside from like, yeah, some some crashes that happened in the last area, like I finished that with an immensely satisfying ending.

There's also things that change the ending, depending on side quests that you do. There's only two kind of side quests in the game is kind of a knock against it. Well, additional things you can do like there's a collectathon and then there's an additional boss that you can miss. Yeah. But if you beat him, it changes the ending slightly. What is Jesus is not Jesus. Well, Jesus never like because God has never referred to as God. He's referred to as the creator, which I guess is about as

it's like as much as you can do, though. You do. But Dante's inferno. Fury as well. I think on this podcast, people remember, I'm like, that's so fucking lazy. Just make pestilence and famine, right? Just do it. Don't be cowards, cowards and pestilence and famine are so cool. Make it work. You can't. So I my thought was like, make a mage that makes spells that make you hungry,

that none of them hungry, but they cause diseases or whatever. Oh, God, I need some food. I get that. It's I think about him. I had I get that it's difficult and they defaulted to making just a guy with guns and a woman with a whip and make or make a burger float in front of somebody and then make it disappear. It's like when you throw food in front of characters and fists of the North Star and you just they just see a giant milkshake and oh, but fury.

It's the only Dark Siders game where the character actually changes and goes, I'm a fucking moron. Oh, yeah. Because death and war are just like, oh, war is like a big stupid idiot. But he never stops. He was never admitted. He finds out who betrays him. He's like, no, I'll be mad at you. But that's it. And death is even worse.

Death is just always like whatever. Fury, despite being the most one dimensional character I've ever seen at the start of the game, they get enough in there where she's like, yeah, I'm kind of I'm kind of a fucking moron most of the time. And I'm always screaming at people and no one really wants to hang out with me. Maybe I should think about this a little bit more. And maybe I shouldn't just fly off the handle all the time because that wrecked me in that earlier encounter.

And I'm like, wasn't expecting that. And just everything just kind of Dark Siders is what you're playing before Horseman of the Apocalypse isn't exactly the game I expected. It's not what I'll consider introspective series. Yeah, looks into its character. She doesn't really have a traeus running around on her shoulders. It's it's not a Shakespeare play, but like it does a lot more with the character than either of the first two games do.

And I really wish those those technical foibles weren't in the console versions. Because that would really just help because a lot of people that contact me on Twitter, they're like, yeah, the area is really rough. I lost like progress there and whatever. And it's the last area in the game that you kind of go through and the frame rate's bad and there's like this tornado that kills you in one hit. Even if you're not near the anyway, it's a mess. That sounds awesome.

Are we gearing up for a fucking shooter? Are we gearing up for a shooter? It's somewhere it's somewhere there for me. It's not my game of the year, for sure. But like it's somewhere in there because I just had so much fun. And it wasn't because I was just like so down on the game and I had no idea what it was going for. But the first game I knew exactly was going for.

And like maybe I just didn't catch up on interviews and such because Joe Madd is not the figurehead anymore. He wasn't there to give interviews and stuff. I don't know who was. So you'd like this. And if Joe Madd's not there, I'm you're not going to. I don't care what you have to say. Not that there wasn't like I couldn't figure it out.

It wasn't a recognizable guy that I could like be like care about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, totally. But and a lot of the designs of the game are a little bit more dark than dark ciders usually. The little less comic were they were they on the dark side? So in Dante's Inferno, for example, the boss of. Yeah, the boss of lust is a big topless woman that loves sex.

Yeah. And it's got spiders crawling out of big old nippers. Everywhere. So, you know, the boss of lust in this is topical. Not not at all sex related, like in the slightest. It's not about that. And then the characters even go. Humans, perceptions of lust are so basic and lame. And what a bunch of basic bitches they are. What, titties? No, that's stupid.

Lust is whatever you desire. So like Fury has to go through like a really amazing cut scene where I'm like, lust is actually the coolest design looking thing. It's this woman, but has all this cool armor. And I'm like, well, that's really neat. And a lot of the sins were because we're fighting this seven deadly sins in this game. And I'm just like, there's a sloth. And I'm like, it's going to be a big fat thing.

And yeah, it's a big fat thing. So shocker. So sorry. Sorry. Sloth. Yeah. No. Gluttony is is. No, Gluttony is not. No, it is. Yeah, it is. Think of Full Metal Alchemist.

Think there. You got it. OK, sorry. Sloth, because I've been playing Dante's Inferno and Dark Sloth is three. But yeah, Gluttony is not at all what you think it would be. OK. But Sloth is a big, big fat insect that if when you encounter him, he's like, yeah, that's right. And you're like, let's fight. And he's like, I really don't want to.

Yeah, I should mention that you sounded like you were just describing lust as avarice, but avarice is his own separate concept because it gets amongst the trinity is very explicitly lost as a circle of physical sexual attraction. But you're saying they're the game got away with like man, nudity, that's basic shit. Yeah, it is real lust is next level advanced. You guys with your dangly bits. It's surprising.

That's what it is. Literally. Yeah, stupid. It was it was more interesting with this, especially like because because all the boss fights are not the most elaborate things in the world. But I'm glad they're not because they're they're like souls bosses where it's not like gigantic set pieces. It's just basically you one on one with the creatures and they're all very like not very soulsy, but like there's some parallels you can you can make.

I mean, gluttony, sorry, sloth kind of looks like the the first demon boss that you fight in Dark Souls, too. He's just this big fat thing. How's how's your personal more camel? It's not in it because if you remember, it's it's a woman. What? That's that's why that's OK. Sorry. Yeah, very interesting because they play a different. It's a fangirl to fury.

OK. Oh, fury, you're the best horseman. Apple and she's like, OK, I don't mind this watcher that much. And as the adventure goes on, her attitude changes and in what have you. Fury, why won't you sign my album? Really, really enjoyed the game. I really hope they patch the console versions quickly. They do have some DLC scheduled and it's like one of those things where I'm like, please fix the base game before you pump out DLC.

It's just a bad look. It is. But yeah, super surprised with the game. So I went on a little little off. No, no, no, no, no. These things rarely happen where I'm like, I'm not looking forward to this. And then just, wow, I finished that in like four days. I go into more. Like, I mean, fuck, Google all in, dude.

That's because that's super interesting. Like the fact that I like I'm my biggest curiosity is like, is this now possibly setting up for more? Like is this is Darksiders back and saved? It's never super well either. Any versions of it, but they seem to have sold enough. I'm shocking. Darksiders 3 got to exist considering I'm shocked to exactly.

So you're like, is it now back? Like, because Nordic bought the license because they they used to be Koch media, whatever. They just bought the T.H.G. name, whatever it is. Coke and they they ghost gunfire games. They killed the ghost fire. They did the remasters of Darksiders one and two. So I'm like, well, they're probably good for doing this.

And like, aside from like weird marketing, that first gameplay trailer, not being good, that just kind of did more harm to the game than anything else. Um, I just really, really enjoyed it. But yeah, the most another. The most interesting thing I think is the idea of like big, angry fury being more than just that as a character. That's cool.

That's a cool idea. I'd like to see that explored. And the other thing I did is that I binged the final table on Netflix. I described this as Street Fighter meets Battle Chef Brigade. Got it. In like a cooking competition where it's it's okay. When you watch it, when you watch chopped or iron chef, one of those

things, it's some chef that has a middling restaurant and he wants to prove that he's really good. Yeah, this is about God tier chefs that are super successful. And if they win this cooking competition on Netflix, they get nothing, they get no money. It's all pride. It's all you get a, you get a seat at the final table, which is all these world renowned chefs that have like one guy has the

best restaurant in the United States that makes candy balloons that are next to your chair and you can eat the balloon. Okay, it's guys that do high concept shit. There's a guy from Japan that makes dioramas that look like forests that you can eat. Okay. And he's like, this is the Japanese method that I have developed and this has this has like 12 teams of two and both

have to cook meals for various that for three judges and they go, your meal was the best. I really liked it. You're all safe. If they didn't like your meal, then you have to go to the greatest chef of that country. Let's say we're all cooking Mexican dishes. You'll be fighting against this Mexican judge who has the best

restaurant in Mexico and he's going to say, I'm going to give you this fucking ingredient that no one can make anything out of. It's a cactus and you're like, I'll make it. And then he's like, okay, your dish was really good. You're fine for the, you're fine. You're going to go ahead to the next episode where we're going to be going to USA and I go USA.

What's that food? And the only thing I can think of is burgers because everything else is stolen. Hot dog, pizza, you know, are you, are you just describing Torico basically a little bit? So the USA meal was Thanksgiving. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Okay, so two crazy chefs from Australia goes, we're going to

make a Thanksgiving burger that has cranberry jelly in the middle of the patty and then the patty is just going to be turkey meat and tons of other stuff and we're going to deep fry it. Yeah. Guess what? American judges died eating this thing because they loved it so much.

They had a comedian as the judge and, and, and Tom Hanks's son, which one? Call it or chat? Call it. Okay. And Collins like, I love Thanksgiving. Okay. I don't know about this burger and the American comedian, if

you get his name, Dex, Dex, something weird. It's the type of guy. If you saw him, you know him. Okay. He's just burger and just doesn't say anything. He's just like, this was the best thing I've ever eaten and they go through every country and it's just so well shot.

It shows every FMV backstory for every chef. I was glued to it. This was their, their twisted metal, uh, Callisto invited me to this tournament of cooking. Right. And this is what I have to do. The final table as, as opposed to chef's table. So the very black exactly.

That's another documentary. Yeah. That's the one I started and enjoyed, but it's like, we got a fucking one that bullshit up. Yeah. Um, and like the last competition is all the greatest chefs that they already showed are like, give us your best signature dish and it better blow us away.

And you have to make nine of them, which is insane because the during the rest of the show, they only have to make three because there's three judges. So I really enjoyed it. There was a guy from Canada from Calgary that specializes in Japanese food sushi. He's like, he weeps out because Japan shows up and he's like, like all the other chefs are like, whatever's Japan.

And this guy's like, got a gold Calgary. I got to do it. I got to do it. And he makes the Japanese judges just freak out. They're like, this looks, this is better than any Japanese food I've ever had. And the guy's like, oh my God, I fucking did it.

Oh my God. Sensei and he was really, really cute. He was really, really fun. He just loved doing what he did. And it was just our super enjoyable watch. I watched that all weekend. Couldn't recommend it enough. If you're into cooking even a little bit.

And there are some things that like I would be like or staring at food, you're staring at food, but you're staring at really nice looking food. I don't mind it. There are some things where I'm like, we're going to use the tongues, the heart. So I'm like, I'll, I'll do without that. And then some, there's some people that are like, I'm going

to use crickets. I've eaten chocolate covered crickets. They're fine. I'll eat a cricket patty burger if it tastes good. And everyone's like, that tastes fucking good. The chocolate crickets is to grind them up so that you don't see the cricket no more. I think you saw the crickets in this.

Yeah. I remember because like crickets, they're, they're, they're nutritionally dense. Yeah. And each week shafts entire like, like thing that their entire like, uh, uh, mo was there's a lot of things that are super good that we don't eat because they're weird. Yeah.

But this is like a sustainable food source that we have millions and millions of metric fuck tons of, but no one fucking uses them crickets is one of them. You can, they're gross. They're gross, but it's like, I just know that they're crunchy and kind of salty. Yeah. We were never taught that, that they weren't weird.

So yeah, I really recommend that if anyone's into cooking shit. So yeah, that's basically me. I went on about dark side or so. I mean, that's fine. If I feel like if there was one like type, it's almost like if there's one type of bug that we regularly ate as like a common thing, then it would be a ten a night. It would be a gateway.

Yeah. It'd be a gateway bug in again. There you go. Into not being weirded out by it all the time to the rest of the menu, right? It's parts of the world to chow down on like, uh, cricket scorpions. Well, totally.

Right. But like nor, but like we all just like you eat shrimp, which is basically a type of crustaceans are bugs. We are bugs. They're water bugs. They're horrible. They're just water bugs. I hate them.

They're big. Yeah. But like actual rare shiny blue ones, but actual like beetles and fucking slugs and escargo and all that shit. I was going on the list of like, oh, this guy has this restaurant. Let me check it out. And it's like the fifth best restaurant in the world or whatever. And you see like on the image of his restaurant, there's a plate

with just a black scorpion in the middle. And I'm like, that guy, that's the guy that's like, fuck it. Serven scorpions today. Anyway. All right. What up? Hmm. What up?

You said you had a short week. I had a pretty uneventful week, uh, played a bunch of Dark Souls, played a bunch of Warframe, nothing much to say. Hung out with the level clear guys yesterday. The guy said that we've all been on our podcast at this point, uh, because I was like, Hey guys, you should play Warframe. And they're like, Oh, that sounds like a good idea. So I hung out on their stream yesterday, uh, for like three, four

hours and, uh, walk them through the first couple of hours of Warframe only to find like, boy, man, they're like, that game takes like even with somebody like holding your hand, that game takes like 10 hours to get your feet fully like planted in. Oh, did you not, did you not remember what it was like for you? Or did you not feel it at the time? I don't, I don't, I, I, the way that I absorb those kinds of, I played Monster Hunter back when it was confusing.

Yeah. Warframe is when you're playing, you see, and that, and that's, it's interesting because I think that's something that happens to a lot of people that actually watch us is like your memories of something that took a really long time are just the highlights. So it's like, Oh yeah, you just did that and that and that was it. Like Warframe, I blew out in like two days and like big, long sittings talking to somebody going like, why is this and why?

And upon watching it actually occur in real time, it's like, Oh, there's a process here. Yeah. Right. But for the, and I feel it because when I think back on like, let's say Kotor, yeah, I think of it as like, Oh yeah, that planet, that planet, that planet, you forgot the part where you had to figure out your status location and the fact that sometimes just going

from one point to another and talking to a bunch of people is like 10 hours. That's like 10 hours. Yeah. No, absolutely. But yeah, no, it's like, because I did the thing where I'm like, okay, new person. All right, I'm going to help you.

I'm going to walk you through the tutorial and teach you how to do bullet jumping because that's important, right? Cause the game doesn't really teach how to do bullet jumping. And then I'm going to teach you how MR works and I'm going to teach you how this and then what I'm going to do and what pretty much happens to every new player, your friend who already plays the game for a long time is going to give you some important mods that are valuable, but somewhat rare.

So it'll give you the mod that makes your primary weapon do more damage or, you know, the generic base, good mods. Right. And then I'm like, oh, I can't even trade with this motherfucker yet. You're not like, you literally cannot trade an item with a new warframe player until at least 24 hours after they've beaten the tutorial because they have to do the second MR exam to get the ability to trade.

I'm like, oh, so I guess I'll talk to you guys tomorrow and give you stuff. Okay. Right. Like it is if for the average person would play like an hour to a night, it's like a week or extra long process just to get your ankles in and like, and I guess that time limit is like to protect you from just jumping in and having like fucking like

bank accounts, fake accounts kind of thing. Yes, I guess, but it is just the natural way that that system actually works because I don't know if I ever told you, but as your mastery rank goes up, you earn more trades a day. So they limit that. Yep. So I'm MR 18 right now. So I can trade 19 times a day.

Is it a highly does? Is it is there? Is it the highest desirable thing you can do in the game? I get a higher mastery rank. Get more trades. Well, no, you so the way that it works is as you get your higher mastery rank from one to I think the highest you can possibly hit right now is 26 is you get it always works the same way.

And as you get your mastery rank plus one of trades of thousands of rep you can earn for a faction of is there and it also you remember the mod system at all walls like you have 30 points to mod an item and different barely so whatever a damage mod to cost 14 points and then this crit mod would cost 10 points and your weapon has 30 points right and as you level the weapon up from one to 30 you gain more points right. Well, when you're MR 20 every single item in the game that

you receive will just start at rank you'll have 20 of the 30 points right away and you have to level up to 21 to get an extra one so ostensibly if you hit MR 30 you would no longer have to level anything up right. It would just automatically be maxed out from the get go. So you get that you get more rep you get more trades and so the thing that happens is like a brand new player who goes to Fortuna you know the new ice planet because I want to hang

out and do these quests well you can only earn 34k rep a day and it costs 500k rep to max it out. Well the people who have fucking MR 27 can earn 28k rep a day so they finished that shit in a week and banged it out no problem new player go do the rest of your chart and then come back here. It's so interesting hearing like I mean you have to be game for what is essentially a job application.

It is a long haul right. It is an MMO you have to be yeah you and you have to be like you know what I've got the availability in my life right now I have the need well here's the thing and I have the feeling for something to fill that void because you're like let's commit and lock this in like a job not necessarily because as Warframe is free to play with no monthly fee there's absolutely no time pressure of any kind.

Okay you could take however but you could take a year to max out your fucking but there's cool down timers on things daily's yeah so effectively it's like you know well come back tomorrow and getting do a little bit more getting to chip chip chip away at it getting two or three k rep for one of these factions is one 10 minute mission. Okay so again getting the getting the full like I get 20k day now that's 40 minutes like it's it's like that it's just

you can only get some right. So if you want it if you spent if you sat on the game for as long as for an infinite amount of time or whatever the case is you would still be rate limited. You would so you would hit a point where it is now not it is a waste of time to continue playing yeah well no there's nothing you could really there's nothing you can grind out anymore so there's two things to progress there's two things

and they both they're both rate limited there's the amount of rep you can grind for any particular faction that's daily limited and that that daily limit is set by your MR your MR is you leveled up all these weapons great you can take your mastery exam and get one rank higher those can only be taken once every 24 hours and if you fail it can still only be taken at once every 24 hours so last week I failed my MR 17 test three times in a row so took me for fucking days.

That was annoying as shit but I'm happy to have gotten it right because now I can get more rap and I get higher mod slots etc etc etc I fucking hate that exam. Coasted through the 18 one no problem but I so if you've hit all your wish that wasn't poison for me what note shut up you're not listening if you've hit all your rep for the day or whatever that's fine because the actual 90% of the game for the first couple hundred hours is actually finished that

big old chart that you saw of shit zillion levels okay go do that as you do that try out new weapons and level those up because those will increase your mastery rank and that will so by the end of that star chart you will probably have naturally hit something like MR 13 like normally just because you tried out new stuff okay over the period and then you will then have the resources to go and get all the other stuff and then it becomes like where I'm right right now is like I'm going

to get every single item in this fucking game and I'm going to hit MR 26 but if you just pick a thing that you like and you're like no I really just like that yeah which would be say I want at so the one that everyone told Willie hey there's the punchy man he's Atlas go punchy man it you would say okay I want to pick Atlas well unfortunately for you Atlas is pretty I don't even have Atlas yeah he's fucking I'm at 480 he 435 I have Atlas he's way in there oh yeah his

quest sucks his quest is one of the worst in the game but whatever let's say you deepest fucking you just be lying to Atlas yeah got Atlas okay well then you need a gun you'd go okay I want the Corinth okay you go get the Corinth what do I want as my secondary gun I thought the arch of plasma not the fucking I want to get good whatever I what's the sure sure whatever I get it yeah Tomo's there it is that's the one oh I want to sort okay get the guarantee in prayer

okay you got all those you got it did you get them good do do the all the story quests which there are a bunch now and then if that's your personal desire you'd be done you'd be completely finished and you'd be more than ready to go into the next one with the kit that you actually had so it's just for collection purposes then well yeah it's a collection game okay it's it's a there's a term I didn't come up with it somebody else told me it but I don't know if it's what you

would call an arsenal game it is a game in which like Pokemon oh okay so then think of the gun yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah well see it's different because in Pokemon I definitely did want to like catch them all but in Monster Hunter for example I didn't give a fuck about weapons I didn't give a fuck about that's right and I you know I went into training to just kind of see what they did but I was pretty married to my spear and my charge blade that's fine and and just kind

of like simplified the situation for me that way so then I guess it's not poison then I can I yeah yeah okay but also it like I think I just I connected my brain yes it's like Pokemon do you want to catch them all or do you want to beat Gary or do you want to beat Gary because that's two very different games yeah yeah okay and for Warframe there is a the most of the people that play long term want to catch them they want to catch them all got it and then they want to make

them look pretty yeah because that's actually more important and beating Gary's not actually that big a deal well a new Gary comes out every three every once in a while and they're not difficult it's just a really cool thing with Gary okay cool Gary yeah it's a cool Gary so I did that and then I just got it I did a lot of I found a lot of YouTube channels that had smashed early and was watching CPU battles stuff like that man the CPU in that game has been dramatically improved

it might be the best CPU I've ever seen in a fighting is it just playing like tournament style it is playing tournament style it's not it's no longer perfect dodging it is no longer perfect parrying it is no longer doing anything like that it's doing reads it's doing goofy human shit it's doing snake C4 himself back onto the stage okay it's it looks I thought I was watching people play for a while and then it turns out I wasn't and I was still quite happy to do so which

means then that tournament style is now the official style it in itself so would have you I was talking about people about that uses an example of play and the combination of the CPU is now looking like tournament players and the overall balance of the game appearing to be fuck it just buff it to create a fucking crumbs up be just goes the whole length of the state who care all right that kind of mentality appears to be like they actually looked at competitive

smash but like did things according but is it to a level where we're seeing like space animals like wave dash slide shoot wave dash slide shoot wave dash slide so you're like are they spamming you and things like that like I've seen anything like that they're playing like regular people because like like the CPU in old smash games would just be like walk towards enemy start using attacks yeah and rotate through me and then occasionally some a tax those attacks

perfectly yes and it would use them at perfect times yes no this goal was to always walk up to you and hit you with one of those like there's there's a really early bit in one of the videos was watching yesterday were incineroar against and the incineroar CPU does a bunch of short hops until it gets in a range and does the drop kick cool with the correct spacing and then tries it like it looks like people and good bought I think bunny hopped at a really good video on this

about bots and old multiplayer games good bots are fucking great for multiplayer games because it means if you don't have your pals or think of how much extra fun people had with perfect dark because they had good I was about to say perfect but they were simulants you could you could you could give them back stories it was so deep let me give you an example yeah Ganondorf AI will now suicide dunk you if it's the last song if it's the last thought that's like like it does

that shit awesome right really good and just watching just like random Twitter guy just been like check out this broken shit I discovered with this character check out this broken shit I discovered with this character this over and over and over this bots older brother told him the wrong moves back when it was growing up so they got determined and now has a style based on so I'm not very good so this this has like very much invigorated my excitement for smash in a in like

a way that I haven't felt before because I I like the idea of a fighting game where everyone is broken it's cool the best what who could complain if everything is broken everyone is here everyone is broken I don't know you saw but I retweeted that it was an altered image of everyone is broken yeah yeah it's the Marvel 2 it's the balance it's the gumbo it's the Marvel 2 gumbo right yeah who cares what you're throwing in there nobody care whatever it's yeah so a lot

of that and did a lot of reading about a certain fallout game because it's funny to me so why don't we just take it from there okay I'm gonna go real fast where's my influencer bag well I want my bag the bag the first thing worry the in fact I thought the first thing was that though the the bags don't look like they were supposed to yes and then they someone got told that their bag was too expensive to make so the the best part so hey how come my fallout 76

zero zero thanks audible thanks audible thank you fallout I was so excited you just not even want to bring up the actual star just want to talk I was so well then let's get into the news I was so excited for a goddamn fallout ad there that would have been just the ultimate I don't know forever I don't think you would have I want my god damn influencer Berg all right so my influencer let's see if I can find it by just typing fallout bag okay well I can while you

do because I want the original story well the original story is a person contacted wasn't there also years ago something with a power armor thing I don't remember some guy like as a follow-up to the story someone's like this power armor I got gave me Ted night is oh that's possible or something like that yeah Ted night is Ted night is a person contacted Bethesda customer support saying hey listen I don't like this nylon bag you have given me in my collector's edition what's up

with that the photo of that collectors edition says authentic canvas bag right and they went and the customer service reply being the funniest thing in the universe going we determined that that promotional bag would be too expensive to manufacture so we are God was the exact wording we are not planning on doing anything about it sorry but then they went on to be like oh wait everyone's very angry everyone is going to give 500 in-game Adams which is the fun bucks if you are

displeased with your shitty nylon bag that we lied to you about this was then followed up by them deleting and retweeting that same sentence was because the first reply was did you know that 500 Adams isn't even enough to buy the fucking postman DLC outfit that also has a canvas peg in fact it can only buy you this bullshit and was a list of things was there one of those things in the photo that said product might not be no there isn't oh no they didn't do the basic no yes everyone does

that yeah which is why it's actually case which is what's actually grounds for legitimate loss I've never heard any because like it's been years since well anyway and so here's the thing you throw that out there even if it's not you have to contact with as the support to get your 500 free Adams a process which I am certain indemnifies them against any future lawsuit you decide to love me if you take it if you go through the so so don't take it this this was then followed

by the discovery that the that a similar canvas bag was like $2 or $3 or $5 in value and that that bag while different was in fact sent out to fall out 76 influencers for free as part of the game's promotional material yes that's the part two right so if anyone wants to know if you are a bag enthusiast or baggies is we like to call them oh boy there is bag heads yeah yeah I am not on board with this there's a huge difference in quality between a nylon bag and a canvas bag I

didn't know this and I first saw the story I'm like oh it's wild what a bunch of crybabies I was to exclaim to no one in particular and then I look at the differences between nylon and canvas I'm like holy shit the canvas bag seems like a good fucking ass bag and a nylon bag is like the cheap bag you get like with a gym bag I look at it and I feel like it's made out of a windbreaker yeah right so I expect that like like cuz I remember the the the the bag that came with like a wind jammers

was the bag yeah there's there's like a like and it came with a Frisbee and all the other cool stuff in it but it's like yeah if you're going to mass produce this and hand out a bunch of them then like it's probably going to be the cheaper material here for sure but then it turns out yeah they actually made the other one it's a it's a different looking bag but they did in fact send canvas bags out to influence so maybe they made a limited number read it realize the call these these

things were bought and then logoed because this is that that that influencer bag is a normal product is a product they had a logo version okay okay for like what $6 and then on top of that fall out 76 is getting a big big patch today or tomorrow or whatnot and they've detailed that it will finally include respect and somebody contacted me with the details on this respect because it is fucking hilarious so in fallout every time you level up you get a perk right and I

believe you also get to level up a special point which is intelligence or strength or whatever problem is when you start the game you can't see what all the perks are at the end of the game you're right so I leveled whatever I leveled Intel intelligence but I don't like any of the intelligence perks or I picked a two-handed weapon club but I went ended up going rifles you know whatever right so people like can we please fucking have respect please like it's this

sucks so respect has been added to the game or will be soon and here's the way that respect works after level 50 which is the soft level cap every time you take a level instead of picking a perk you can reallocate an existing point or perk which means in order to respect your character you have to double up on level level 100 and that means you would be half as strong as a normal level 100 player because you've moved your points around instead

of adding new things and they've substantially reduced the amount of experience enemies near the end of the game give so that would actually take longer so this is a respect in which it would be faster to level your character up from scratch again then going making it totally pointless but the worst respect I have ever heard of but the easiest to add in after the fact that's correct so okay there it is the fuck out there there's a story that is I'll tell you

what that is a meeting in a boardroom that takes about four minutes yeah and then they go yep throw it in what do you got what we got a meeting that's a sticky note on someone's computer per cards let's see the rest of these changes oh they're finally adding push to talk that thing that should have been in the game and launch because it's creepy otherwise adding twenty nine twenty one nine resolution support one of the biggest lies because I don't know if

you remember the way they showed it off at the Bethesda conference on the big wide screen that was in twenty one nine but the game didn't ship with it field of view of the respect of the changes to the shitty camp system cool this game's hilarious that's really funny this game I cannot almost every day for the past two or three weeks there has been some little thing or bigger thing that player that can't hurt people that other player who can't die like just oh it's

oh so the biggest game they've ever made everyone at Bethesda everyone joined in everyone at Bethesda on hands everyone opened up their ass cheeks to shit more on the shit pile oh look at it it's getting really big oh the other thing that I remembered somebody showed me some details people have been digging around in the code and the games cheat protection is a word filter for the game's folders that discovers the word cheat and then disables go online that's it that's their

cheat protection sick if the word cheat is in that it's red yeah that's how you handle your end God God coward so this popped up not too long ago this is wild I saw that Dark Souls three cut content multiplayer originally was going to include sacrifice ceremonies which was dragging other player bodies around and making your own bonfires creating bonfires I thought I heard about this well before the game release that they were toying with the idea of making your own bonfires am

I crazy so yes you did you did hear that so I've been I've been playing Dark Souls three right so people have been coming at me with the cut content stuff not just this but other stuff that game got really shuffled around like you know wolner you remember him the big skeleton with bangles he's supposed to be where your miss that's why there's all the treasure in that profane capital and goon deer was supposed to replace Osiris there's supposed to be spectral

swords you remember those those screenshots of Dark Souls three that leaked out like a year and a half before the game came out and how none of those screenshots are in the game wasn't that just like okay okay yeah remember there was the big apocalypse zone with a giant serpent that's not in the game okay so yeah there's a ton of stuff moved around and one of which is this multiplayer system which sounds like it would have been like but like just not almost like too complex for

its own good making your own bonfires sounds like not a nightmare to test and like it would be such a fucking buggy mess and I'm sure the reason why I got cut was based on that exact thing very likely custom spawn points is always like in a 2D game maybe an exploitable game like this like for the way that from software builds their games it's astonishing that they come out as good as they do because they will last second shuffle areas mechanics ideas music like all over the

place they'll cut major features a couple months before launch and go no we'll just do the other one like it's it's wild it's absolutely nuts I mean they kind of just they they have their priorities that they focus on you know combat and art design being those things generally and you know the rest is sort of yeah just kind of falls into place around those those ideas in a way so I after the podcast will he remind me I'll tell you who the real final boss of Dark Souls 3 was

supposed to be okay but like the like but like you hear about like the what should I call it like the extra multiplayer like arenas and stuff that they added and all that and it's just kind of like okay do we have the are the pieces here do they make that they make it work then like yeah we'll throw it into with all together but here we've got the footage of yeah it's still in there it's deep deep down in there and I'm guesses this is just like like fucking futzing with code right like

whoops that they left the string in so turn it on dragging a body around and let's see and so the bonfire ceremony if we can take a look at that as well it's like what like what would be the purpose though outside of like cuz you couldn't do this in the main game all this is a company that made the fucking world tendency system you can never you can never know what the fuck they're actually thinking with this shit cuz especially as a half or even like not even half finished system

like it could have had a lot like what if there were no bonfires in the game you know like something like that because you had to make your own probably the most interesting thing is that in one of the super early Dark Souls trailers it shows a character dragging a corpse and making a bonfire does it CG trailer interesting okay so then yeah huh like the game I know you can create your basically your own save points is already in the blind forest and it's like I can only imagine how tough

that is to test yeah this or or even just like any like games like like Super Meat Boy style like just quick spawn point type thing or like even in games like that it's the most exploitable thing always so I can own like this is like almost like oh yeah there's no way they're letting that ship no fucking way anyway I love the this new thing of people going through games and just like what assets got left behind do you see they finally pull they finally pulled another boss out of

Bloodborne the snake guy does the fucking snake the snake king or whatever that sucks cuz it's like a cool looking boss it's like fucked up cuz it's almost like like what if like when you died they could go into your brain and pull unfinished thoughts out and go like yo did you know Matt was thinking about this that one time I fully expect it when we die yeah so that's cut content in Dark Souls 3 it's cool it seems like every I don't want to say like four

months there's like hey we mind more shit out of a souls type game because from software puts them on did you see that somebody actually managed to get the fucking feel the land of the Giants and Demon Souls playable the fucking I the broken Archstone they got that level playable and it looks like Kinghurst like it looks like a Bloodborne level like was it like finished or tech no it's not finished it's a mess okay but you can walk around in it like it's it's it's barely

there but it's cool so this week was the Tekken finals is a lot of big crazy Tekken Tekken and Panda fucking killing it Panda is now the strongest Tekken fighter and don't you forget it but alongside that were big announcements including the full DLC roster for refreshing for the season to pack and they dropped Anna and lay earlier and then this time around they just went here's the rest fuck it is Marduk and Armah King so they fucking just sat there just

yeah just kind of milled about farted around they're like okay let's just show the other characters to all my alright so Armah King and Marduk look fucking sick so Marduk Marduk joins the hoodie club the Kimbo slice world yes so there's this game now has three hoodie wearing characters in it there are regular KOF team you could Steve Jin and Marduk throws a car in his intro he's back he's wearing the same garish colors but he's got he's grimy beard and I like his

colors because they're like they're really they're my colors I'm down garish garish he described his own color palette as garish there you go so but yeah everything about him is was you know what you'd expect and he does the the ground and pound he does the air throws you know it's used as a rage drive and his rage art so it doesn't seem like his ground and pound is going to be free it seems like it might be that's why it only then Armah King comes back looking the

best he has ever looked Armah King is always a fucking boss and he's always the coolest of the rest yes yes he gets to wear more and I don't know if you guys saw it but he has a wind pose where he just runs up to you and does a shining wizard yeah he does he does the mist he does to cheer he's misted he does the mist attack his armor is more elaborate than ever he looks like he's from Tekken 7 he's just he's just the coolest man it's it's yeah it's a fun I never thought

I'd say this in my entire life subtitles out of my way Armah King it's time for Julia so Armah King also the hoodie coming out on Marduk really cool touch as well when you when he does his his rage art yeah sure off the wall her Karana type moves and good old Armah King and then Julia comes along at the end of this Armah King trailer yeah and turns out she's a big old streamer huge hipster streamer that's Julia Chang if you want instant like people going oh that's awesome it's just

make them a streamer or a YouTuber or whatever but so it's just like the the idea of JC reinventing herself continues yes almost got a deforestation t-shirt on she's still a big old hippie but protect the environment all that but now she's IRL on Twitch right so I saw I saw some great stupid memes off of that shit like God who was it is like she's an ASMR streamer but it's mostly simulated punches to the ears I've already said like I think was Kenny that said like I've

already subbed to her patreon so that is great streams live are you ready that's made you stream deathfights on Twitch I don't think you can not using Twitch though she's using Tech tech tech tech a witch yeah yeah iron me Mishima of the iron 205 streams as I bought two Misha owned fucking streaming is they don't they encourage it it's it's in fact it's a category so that's great and then no one else was announced or so and then that was the end of that and then

the Tekken world to finish yep that was that yeah Kenny from your video games is a stupid motherfucker and doesn't know what he's talking about God damn it Kenny you're so fucking wrong I can't believe you you're you're getting debated this hard I'm getting super debated I mean Jesus I'm like all this time this Negan trailer looks bad but it's like but it's legitimate debating because remember when we were in the auditorium I saw the footage Negan got announced like Max and

I were sitting there going what the fuck is happening and Stephen Kenny you're like yeah super in so the boys are hyped for it Negan from the walking dead I think this trailer was needlessly long it's really fucking because it's all referenced to his moments know it is but it's like you have more reverence for this guest character from something that's not a fighting game than your other character or like it was made to please AMC yes and of course at the end of this trailer it

says Negan does not appear in any story mode shit we wasted our time making this promotional the biggest bummer is that I'm like okay I hate Negan and I hate him I hate him but let's see his moves and his moves are really stock his moves Batman he's a very he's but but because he's from a hyper realistic setting or whatever he's not allowed to be a style no but Lucille can glow with evil Negan energy because he can infuse it with the dark Hadoe fucking but what this feels like

because he's not in any other story modes or whatever anything is like think about what a company like AMC would want to see from a character right so if they just had get our show over what I'm saying is if that if this needlessly long trailer as you mentioned like was not there they would just see their character punching and kicking in a fighting game and be like okay and you're right you know like the fact that it's the cinematic thing and it's like all video games

in the crossover it contextualizes it for a bunch of people that otherwise wouldn't know what they're looking at to get it over the exactly put them in a crazy Tekken stage where all this shit's happening so I need a lot so they need they need to see their product contextualized for this crossover this cutscene establishes as Negan is able to beat up all of these people that Negan is maybe as strong as a Kuma and everyone just has to kneel and take it or if they

get up and try then they like like all this all this like farting around with him like taking Lucille but like that should have been hilarious that that was hilarious for the first 15 seconds yeah and then after that it should have just cut straight to the gameplay and then that should have been it but as I guess as as you outline AMC is like but but what are we what what are we investing in slash what are we agreeing to with this crossover and I would like to

point out like specifically to Kenny because okay Negan is not American Majima that is the worst that is the worst that's the worst that is the worst that's what that's what got you going well it's because he doesn't know what he's talking about Russell Jimi because I know Kenny hasn't played the Yakuza games but Pat they both have bats they well except except the bat Majima has is only in two games is actually primary weapon is a knife sure everybody knows that why

wouldn't Kenny know that is it because he hasn't played the Yakuza games me on the other hand I played all those games and I read this fucking comic and watch this shitty TV show and Negan's not even fucking cool compared to the book version which is the governor shout out to the tweet that said imagine if this trailer ended with Lucille pointing at the I'd cure you that would have been fucking nuts maybe season three because they confirmed season three as well so

yeah as opposed to like a few months ago when they straight up asked they asked her out is the season to exist he's like no that's stupid there's no season two of Tekken shut up is okay now you're allowed to just lie and then make a thing and then go yeah I lied and then you go okay and then history forgets and that's that but I do I do more than anything like I would I feel totally differently if he looked more interesting to play as he looks very boring I mean frankly

I say it's a missed opportunity that his his rage drive isn't a helicopter airlifting him out of the game and away into the spinoff movies quite frankly that should have been the way to play it but hey I don't know I'm not Marana I feel like Tekken got a raw deal on this like this was a bigger AMC got a much better deal out of this I mean on the one hand for we don't know the money so on the one hand for like people with taste yes on the other hand this shit people still watch it

it's still the biggest thing ever morons this is a bad TV show and the thing that they signed up for with this crossover happened where when I opened my Twitter the trending story above Ariana Grande's thanks next video breaking YouTube or whatever was Negan from the Walking Dead appears in fighting game when I talked about they got their headline when I talked about how this was the worst on Twitter about 30% of people who follow me were like that you're dumb needs the shit yeah

and I want to say to you people know yeah you are dumb you are the dumb one so you know they like they knew exactly what they were doing I think saying Tekken got the raw deal is massively understating the popularity of walking down make me feel a lot better about this if cause you showed up in the next season the Walking Dead I think that would be fair I think that would be appropriate. Hey Hachi shows up. That would not cause you but like hey Hachi's thing in the background.

Yeah yeah sure sure he a bunch of walkers coming up to him. Wow that was really good hey Hachi for real. Yeah Tekken's doing it. Now I'm set. Alright continue. Tekken do it. Tekken do it. Dude that's a fucking good like roster of classics coming back

into the game in modern form so those are some like every single one of those character updates is a fucking way. It's good yeah. Anna lay then you know the right like they're all fucking solid so bring back Thinbob though. Nah nah I didn't care for them then they get to that part where he's like making fun of Bob and the I'm like fucking end the trailer.

Okay when are we going to get big old big old big old news week though a lot of the things so let's let's kind of get let's get through some of them the one that Matt's been pointing at in the stands. I have not but what you've you've been Babe Ruth and this one for a couple of a while now what digital foundry has found some conclusions about the PlayStation Classic. It's I haven't said anything.

Okay well I'll take this one the PlayStation Classic is an absolute trash fire and the emulation is fucking terrible. Oh yeah like I tweeted about this one like it's I thought I remember talking about you telling me about like I was just like why I read this article because we talked about the 50 Hertz choices and stuff like that. I read this article maybe 15 hours ago and I can sum it up very easily it is locked to 720p and RBG full for some reason

has no scaling or dithering or scanline options of any kind whatsoever so you can't change the way the visuals were it 9 out of the 20 games run in PAL and not only Tekken 3 runs and not only are they running at a 16% slower game speed they're being run at 50 Hertz and then being forced to scale to 60 Hertz because of the output display of the machine which results in horrible juttering and bad frame rate. They are also squished because PAL has slightly different aspect ratio.

I didn't know that part and there is a fucking shit smear filter on a bunch of the games because of the bad filtering because this compilation is not using PlayStation parts of any kind it's using some kind of arm chip so they used PCSX re-armed open source emulator yes which runs all the games like shit on this hardware so they're literally using the open emulator that like has been out on the net for a while and which runs great assuming you have a decent kit box so this is what I don't

understand right is that if we look at the ingredients of this the PCSX when you tweak and set it up correctly right runs games better than original sometimes right it's a good emulator furthermore we have non-pal versions of these games yeah why would you choose the worst ones some and combine them with an unoptimized it's like they just straight up if we just do this then we're covered this no one in North America is really going to care they're wrong but like we can we can

just ship this everywhere because it would have been more understandable if the common if it came out and it was like we have our own emulator and we have our own ports and they're just dog shit right dude but the fact that the pieces here just need to be changed but can be the same just wanted to rush you know why because that would have cost six extra cents on the box this is the cheapest shittiest thing they could have possibly put together as fast as they possibly could they

they're the PSP look at this fucking like you guys at home so you're a gamer article on this digital foundry 2018 playstation classic for you willy personally and for you Matt like it looks like fucking shit it's so bad like this thing sucks there's no reason to play any of these games on this device at all I wonder if in the hands of some crafty people they'll literally get in there and so it's moving into what needs to be done you can't because the chip is underpowered

that the whole problem is okay the arm chip unlike because like the Nintendo classic people just have to shit out of it it's just literally not strong enough to run the games got it got it got it got it they picked a chip that can't run playstation one games at full speed that tells you the priorities on this particular piece of hardware yeah it's not even worth it and it's for like an emulation and we're looking and it's like it's far more than just like the like

the polys like that blur that to everything is like it's like sprites as well like oh yeah it looks like garbage damn it looks like garbage it runs like shit ff7 has glitches like the music will slow down in certain seats this is a hundred bucks hundred bucks oh yeah 150 bucks I don't know hundred bucks if you want to play a slow shitty looking version of Tekken 3 that's that's like the worst like I know it's like Tekken 3 is like like near and dear to our hearts and I'm sure

it is to like a lot of maybe playstation fans in general but it's like that one really hurts that it's like this game out of all of them runs the worst part is like ps1 ps2 ps3 sorry ps2 ps3 ps4 psp psvita all of these systems have fantastic playstation I thought that like the biggest negative of of the PlayStation Classic like new cycle would have been when we were talking about the games list and you guys were saying oh it's a bummer that they didn't have that

it's not a great games list so that cut that list in half now that that like the fact that it's just like no performances the real issue is like because if that's a one-two punch of no no thanks not even on a laugh totally pointless and it's like if there were to release a PlayStation 2 classic I would not I don't care what the game list is like my PlayStation 2 is running perfectly and like I've I've done things to it so it's better than a regular PlayStation hell yeah and it's

like this is the last generation where you can possibly offer something if like that that may be difficult to emulate or whatever it is and it's like like this in the n64 but the n64 barely counts because a it can't even have all of rare's games anymore yeah almost all of them are devoid except for maybe Donkey Kong 64 and it's like that doesn't need to exist I'd be surprised with Nintendo even puts that out because if you don't have rare games in there I don't understand

what the point is anymore but if you want to buy like a toy bottles mini PlayStation one you can buy the plastic and if you're giving it to children because children won't know the difference children will know the difference yeah they will they will children will know they'll be like this version of tech and runs like this why is this running power or just to put just put a fucking Raspberry Pi in there and then get PSX in there and get a folder England your fault you know

and then and then and then do it if pal wasn't so stupid this wouldn't have happened anyway on to car there is what a bummer right like that should be like yeah cool PlayStation games this is like no please look forward to the Xbox classic that's a togy now a togy to and because because that's a Duke it has they'll never release a thing like this because the Xbox one backwards capability is so pretty good that why bother at this point because it's a Duke and the big sphere is the

screen no it's the new Duke stop there should be a Dreamcast classic there should be I think and a Sega Saturn as well but I'm sure those are hard to like second is never going to make another console even a fake console while they're making that bad Genesis thing they're not even making and someone see you but we all actually nothing Neo Geo that Neo Geo thing turned out to be okay yeah a lot of people thought that was good so that was a weird sentence

was this Karmageddon why are we looking at a Karmageddon while this noise of Karmageddon now because THQ Nordic has acquired Karmageddon THQ Nordic is just getting all the warriors it's it's weird because a new Karmageddon was released on like steam like not too long ago and consoles like it was like two years ago like a version came out so I'm surprised the hot franchise Karmageddon that's how everyone remembers their friend having this really violent car game on their PC

yes that's it and and everyone remembers driving into the football stadium driving over the players and then running over girls in bikinis yeah and you're like what the fuck wow mom can't find out about this sure can't but yeah the hot the hot IP is now owned I don't think I've ever seen that game running really you've never played Karmageddon now I don't know if there's a there's anything to do besides just run into people like I remember picking up the box back

when PC games had boxes kids and looking at the back and like being like nine and being like this looks like trash I like I remember playing it and just like I don't know naughty game but it was just was there anything to do besides just hit people there's missions of I don't even remember Karmageddon reincarnation and then Karmageddon max damage was released in 2016 right like it's not that that's crazy I who owned it then then that's strange someone stainless games apparently

that's cool so we're bringing it back do you have any good news on that docket there's there's some fun stuff that places in classic one really bummed me out yeah there's some fun stuff here I like I like the sounds of where can we go here we got some we got some great you're the boat master yeah look at the boat I mean I don't know how much you care but oh radiant fucking silver gun well I might be released on the switch anyone thinks that's cool because rating silver

gun is such a rare expensive game oh fuck yeah that's cool be attitude for gains where's bang I oh where's where's mischief makers that's what I want to I mean yeah I hear you and I and like quite frankly the news in this real the real story behind this as well might give you that because it's actually about treasure games in general right with because this is a basically a conversation that popped up on the treasure Twitter account radiant silver gun was according to

the the account was planned to be released alongside Ikeruga on switch because someone was asking about it and then the account says to people please wait they cannot promise that it'll actually see the light of day but they did so they did randomly choose to answer the requests for radiant silver gun to come to come to the switch and then from there the thread just becomes we want every treasure game on the switch and punishment and it would be amazing it would be amazing

but for those of you who don't know radiant silver gun is the treasure game that is the shmup that was made before Ikeruga a lot of what Ikeruga is yeah is there was direct result was laid was laid in there a lot of the things like the chain system right the ability to get higher scores by shading enemies of the same color and whatnot and it has some fucking wacky ass Obari cutscenes nice anime max in those max anime cutscenes going on dude oh my god the radiant silver gun like it's

like a super serious shmup Ikeruga style but when it cuts the story you see these crazy ass characters like just melting all over their place with their floppy my like like appendages and such let me see if I can fucking find some for you and so it's got some of the here is the treasure list gunstar heroes that's being re-released in that second genesis collection coming out soon then of course they're they know they're magnum opus McDonald's treasure land adventure for

the second genesis you remember that you you for this rank literally dynamite heady you know you you yeah they made a you you yeah how could show game there you go alien soldier guardian heroes mischief muck fucking makers silhouette mirage I always forget that you ever you have a cast of characters dude that that are basically if you if you if you divert your attention over here you'll see the squad the fucking crew that is that that makes like a barry look

like fucking Miyazaki it's it's pretty amazing and everyone and it like it's full of all this wacky shit but the game itself of course is just serious is just wonderful and it has one of the sickest things ever in it which is the idea of there's no pickups in the game you're you're like as you're you don't actually pick up collectibles and whatnot you have every weapon you need on your on your ship from the get go yeah I see them all on the right side of the screen

so you have yeah you have your six different things and you just the more you use them the more they level up but you can use whatever weapon you need to as the circumstance calls for it what a radiant gun radiant silver and then of course there's the the the rumored third secret project that was judgment silver sword for the wonder swan that was a completely different game that they made that had you me know you part of trilogy the GBA treasure one yeah they also

made a tiny tune adventures game Buster's bad dream on the GBA as well alright anyway so that's really great news and if this happens that'd be super rad those of you who like schmups those of you who are enjoying things like Devil Engine and Icaruga and such you go back did you ever fix that guy's copy of radiant silver gun nothing was wrong with it oh it was fine it was totally fine I just heard I misremember that story there was that yeah though that was just like how

you pissed on it yeah exactly I don't know I left it out of its case yeah that's just really on in 2013 they released a game on 3ds called Geist Crusher yeah Geist Crusher me and Liam have talked about that a lot and considered LP'ing it at a time then they released the sequel yes Geist Crusher God yes that's awesome we've went in on this that's the last new game they've developed and we talked about 2014 and we like Liam and I talked specifically about like god damn it that

thing Geist Crusher apparently just turned out to be not great but but like the ingredients and the art design was all there for it to be something cool and like everyone's rooting for treasure so but yeah but yeah I it's it's really really really good I want them to release I want them to make good I know other other treasure games I know no it's cool but it's like I anyone ballsy enough to say that even if they just saying we would want to that's still very exciting

hey Pat resident evil to events headed to pub G I heard wow are you serious yes mobile on the hot on the heels of the Harley Quinn and Joker skins that's like when you see a picture of Robert DeNiro holding a guitar you think it's cool but it's actually really lame so my favorite part about all of this is that I this appears to be one way only like it is an RE2 event for pub G mobile but it sure as fuck not going to be a pub G mobile event in RE2 now what would you do would you use

famous pub G you would use a frying pan as a weapon would there be a chicken dinner item pickup yes that's correct pub G seems who for a game that is so successful it seems like it is it's in a weird desperate state to be relevant because it's not number one and it's never going to be I mean wasn't there a giant campaign called fix pub G yeah they canceled that they canceled that they canceled that campaign I'm fucking serious they canceled it because it meant that there

were no content updates at all of any kind and people were like what the fuck so they put the content updates and said we're going to keep working on fixing the game too and everyone was like yeah no shit you mean like every other developer ever that they can optimize their game and also put out what a fucking shame that game got a year head start on fortnight so last week heard of Hajime Tabata he left yes wild and he has since established JP games wow pretty on

the nose a little bit pretty on the nose Japanese games I'm going to guess that's what it stands for I have no idea you don't know I'm going to continue the great work I did with the third birthday it could be a it might be the what's his name Jean Pierre game yeah who knows or but yeah there you go JP platinum yes that's what I was thinking of yeah he quit or yeah he's not there he's not possibly yeah Jean Pierre probably less possibly there Hajime Tabata who directed

Final Fantasy 15 and left his position as studio head of Square Enix luminous production on October 31st established a new company called JP games and yeah targeting a January 2019 launch someone has been working on some shit behind the scenes if you want to know more about at least one of Tabata's games you can check out a YouTuber that we know called Mr. Clems who recently did a video reviewing crisis core and why that game is so fucking weird hmm it is just play the third

birthday anybody here beat crisis core no I know the ending because the ending is astonishing yes I'm the best thing he's ever yeah it's the cool it's fucking sick yeah yeah oh wait hold on I misread that no they're they're preparing the company for a January launch not a game never mind no it's a game could you imagine a triple a getting dropped the day after you boy that's an I know but like I'm saying could you imagine someone leaves a company and like like like okay

Kojima gets fired death stranding comes out the day after he leaves and two months after and you're like how did this and it's like I was stealing money and they'd have to just prove that you were secretly developing this on what with one budget where with yeah I was stealing all sorts of shit it wasn't me it was Moby it was Moby Dick Productions I made death stranding out of all of these staplers it was the man with the bandages there you go

that shit that the bandage guy with CG and stuff no he was he was real they showed remember when people were like remember when it was a mask remember every fake theory about everything relating to Kojima ever and how they never came true I think one came true remember how anytime rumors and theories come out they never happen and as soon as the real thing happens everyone forgets about all the fake rumors forever stuff he just mentioned so like you remember how no one ever takes

account for all the fake things that that hype people up that don't happily that's not fun it's about fun that's why Banjo was supposed to be in smash Banjo might actually still might be in a who knows apparently the game awards is going to probably show off some of the smash DLC yeah Reggie said so speaking of the game awards and rumors and all that stuff there's a couple things one there's a confirmation that cyberpunk will not be at the game awards doesn't need to be

is like we have a new confirmation that cyberpunk will not be seen for another two years guys like like the company that says you will eat when the food is ready you know the people that are like now you'll wait are not going to be showing off more cyberpunk anytime soon but they'll show cyberpunk a month later yeah maybe and there's a bunch of game awards rumors happening there's there's met you said there's something gonna be there Metroid Prime for rumors

a lot of that I would much prefer to see like Metroid just keep it wherever we do him guy and smash no show me ban out of three that should be there screenings Phoenix Avengers product project we know they've been working on it for a minute I was announced like three years ago October 2017 it was yeah okay then that's like a year ago but still he's thinking of that old one there's the you're thinking of the other THQ one no I'm thinking of the Square Enix one

that's going to spend sure also they're working on Mortal Combat 11 is on the rumor that better be fucking there I'm sick of this shit I hope it's there and I hope it sucks to the Kenny said the Kylore don't hope it sucks I I'm willing to throw Mortal Kombat 11 under the bus for spite and I hope Majima's in it Kylo Ren's reveal trailer for Devil May Cry 5 I got that reference oh yeah okay I just did not to last of us to release date that's stranding release date smash the

LC relief come on that's stranding release date of next week let's do come on it'd be a big surprise devil trigger live performance that's cool one of those things might happen but I'm not getting my hopes up the devil trigger thing will happen you think it's I thought it was like pretty much confirmed but like is is devil trigger taking off game industry wide or is it just amongst us it is is game industry but yeah okay maybe not wide I hope so the hot jam

of the winter I hope so I don't I don't I don't ever want to the number one summer jam in the winter it's the number one jam in my heart but I don't ever want to assume that that's the rest of the industry you know that that'd be fucking sick if that happened well there's nothing I think I think we're gonna get from Capcom I think we're gonna the devil may cry performance from Ali Edwards or the case Ali and and Casey Ali and Casey Edwards I think we're gonna get these

trailer I think it's weird that it's been this long but this is a perfect time to do it and I think we're gonna get an RE2 trailer because of all those screenshot leaks that came out that were supposed to be posted at the end of this week seems to coincide with a trailer that would have those elements in it hmm first for Nintendo I think Metroid Prime 4 makes sense you would you guys agree with that seeing that and I think I think I think they'll just bail I'd be surprised

because they announced it and I would like this I would personally like to see one of the DLC characters for Smash and I would like it to be one of my ridiculous not gonna happen pics because of course I would doom guy come on doom guy come on please look forward to the the musical theme of V in Devil May Cry 5 being performed by mass murderer. Oh yeah yeah actively being manhunted by the cops like come on in hey look we got recording we got Ted Bundy skeleton

out on stage to play hit the song for you come on here it's safe you can record a song for us so and then yeah a bunch of other things but fucking also Rocksteady made sure to say our game that we've been working on for four years is not going to be shown good and also it's not Superman that should stupid good double good someone keeps saying stuff like we know everyone wants to see it but we're not going to show it no matter how much you back so weird someone checked a German

retailer list and noticed that it has an assassins Creed compilation listed for ps4 exponent switch that's completely reasonable I don't know there's no other details but that seems completely the name assassins Creed compilation was registered inside and I'll be the final name I mean it's the final name so you think in what do you think in like you I think I think it's the all of that so scrolling games I think it's assassins Creed O town because it has Odyssey and

Orchids I think it no because it has switch would they make a bundle that was like I think it's just the three Chronicles games hmm hmm I didn't even think of that the name got to make those sell somewhere but then but then wouldn't they call that then wouldn't they call that a Assassin's Creed Chronicles compilation maybe yeah maybe but I mean I'm just trying to think of a switch switch can't run like I'll tie you're an SEO that's that's what I would that's my first thought yeah

but the collection already got a collection last gen yeah but no not last gen this gen what this gen yeah oh that wasn't last gen no it was this gen I'm pretty sure I don't even know anymore damn okay because I bought it and then a rogue got a re-release on ps4 and Xbox one like a few months ago so like unless they just want to amalgamize all of these together it's like but if they got a I mean the switch can run like the last gen games obviously but I think it's I think it's

probably the Chronicles I think the best thing we could have now which I don't care for is during dental trigger like the the the Edwards is pull their faces off to reveal that they're actually aliens why now all the music in that game is cursed why why wouldn't that be fun if they're aliens was that to do adult yeah you lost me completely but maybe if they're demons I could understand but I understand if they're aliens I mean they can always start singing and then like Dante could

drop down as nobody is nobody on board and then you've got a what does aliens have to do with anything it would be bad why why are you racist against aliens like like like what's that what's the aliens from from Simpsons what are they in there oh like like crawling cuz that's what I'm thinking of okay so they're performing devil trigger live and I'm rushing to the church to the to the game awards excuse me to get there and then and then and then there's a bunch of demons in

the way and then Dante drops down and then he shoots Jeff Kealy and then Jeff Kealy turns into a demon turns into a big Dorito yeah no he pulls his face off and he's a Dorito and then everyone in the crowd starts to eat him I do that I enjoy that yeah depending on the Dorito flavor I hey hey listen we had chic razor man you remember that barely okay can we get something like that this year some fucking absolutely goddamn embarrassing it's the game awards so you can expect

something embarrassing super I know we got one last year but I can't remember what it was there's at least two there's at least two things there was a chic hydro bot my bad I think someone should walk on with a t-shirt that says fuck the Oscars just no cuz you already did that last year no but like and but now you're leaning you know what it's been a year you know what they yeah it's lame but but it's leaning into it they should have Jeff Kealy giving interviews and behind him

it's Joseph Ferris in like a glass box just standing there he's not allowed to yeah yeah I'm always a fan or he comes up with a gag on his mouth or some shit yeah I'm always a fan of the old joke of the game awards are going on but there's a separate booth where Shawn Michaels is giving hand jobs yeah anyway hey Ega what a bad promotion oh man that was not promoting worse than hand birth what giving birth to a hand no that wasn't a promotion for anything we're talking

about giving Skittles weird dream blow jobs no no hand jobs whatever jobs is gross he's given the he's given a blow job in that class giving away something let's just say that people don't know the the one animated gift we're talking about are super confused this is like six or seven years ago E3 there was the Shawn Michaels 500 where he was giving 500 that happened this is not a joke that really happened that occurred Shawn Michaels was there and everybody who came

up to the connect booth to play with Skittles Shawn Michaels is there any person I would think that doesn't even know how to spell the word video game with Shawn Michaels because he just wears camo and shoots things in Texas all day is that what he does now yeah he's a sexy hunter is not you're fine anyway sorry we worry about that are oh my god he's pulling it up he can't he'll never find it aren't you thinking I'll just connect put connect oh yeah yeah yeah you

have to put connect it's not Skittles because I'm the only person who remembers that yeah that's all that's dark it's a fucking dark gift okay there yeah right alright yeah yeah there you go if you search making fun of the connect that's like the world never felt more unity if you search for Shawn Michaels connect to give and put it on animated and the second result. Oh no the second result is fully playing connect.

Playing TMNT in theaters August 8. That's good. That is amazing and it's just connect gifts yeah it's just these are just gifts of people playing connect from NeoGaff that's from an ancient era fantastic I'm great I'm so glad I bought that game I am that game was super worth it proper chuffed about that yeah bloodstained ritual of the night development adds to way forward to the team is this worrying

or positive I imagine it's positive positive but the way they said it is worrying because it's actually they've been working on bloodstained for months and months just for for some sort of legal reasons they couldn't divulge it until now because everyone's kind of jumping on and going oh what the fuck what's wrong with the game that you need more development that is my first thought actually yeah and I even saw like Mike Z being that's not good but I think he's

still on the basis of they're just adding them now but I mean if I wanted someone to help me ship a game way for you aren't a great choice well I'm going to say like even if it's yeah I don't want to take time away from Yacht Club so even if they're like even if you're like there's the optimistic or this the pessimistic approach there I guess but if you're looking at it like oh something might be wrong and they're calling them in for help way forward is a group of people

that can help and plus that's ultimately a good thing in my opinion he's worked with way forward before and I'm like what when I was just trying to scan my memory banks of like when did they work on anything coach related and I honestly don't know couldn't I looked at a Wikipedia also based on the playable demo and stuff we know that the game doesn't suck like it well that at least that part of it but like feeling you know movement center feels like there's been several

here's hoping this is a positive sign but I remain skeptical I mean again I haven't followed the game for shit so I mean if they said like we were adding fucking Yacht Club Bethesda to help us with the game I'd be worried oh yeah no because then it's like we're we had everyone from Bethesda studio is going to put their hands in the hell yeah let's day like again like outside of saying something like Yacht Club like way forward's a good ass like they yeah they do good platform

yes these are the boys they can do it the boys and girls excuse me maybe they maybe they worked with them on maybe Koji had something to do with Contra for but I don't know I don't oh I don't call that being a case from way back when is Sony's actual response to the recent shenanigans actually in there no what's up remember remember a few weeks ago Kagura shit yeah remember Sony censorship I was like hey Sony just just come out and say a reason just come out and give

a reason and mean you argued about whether or not it was because they moved to California or if it was because of the times and say under six months it turns out they moved to California yeah so the reason is according to Sony Japan's president it is to protect the children the direct quote is straight up we have to protect the children but but there's the SRB and also how come you guys protect the children before so all I can think of is that yes it is in fact because

they moved the HQ to California and everything is being done in English under English business hours and that's all it takes and well because the difference is is it used to be the person in charge of these decisions used to be a Japanese guy sitting in Tokyo it is now an American guy sitting in California being shown the creepy creepy creepy titty games and going man whereas the Japanese guy would be like that's it I'm pretty sure that's actually it get call comes down

to those two noises yeah. I saw a quote I'm not sure if it's an article that's like one of the creators of the seven Kagura series is like it's going to now take a long time to get our games passed on PS4 please understand so the my favorite part about it they're holding back didoji now I guess now you care because the uppers is not is now delayed to get that American release because didoji is in there because didoji didoji is owned by the center

in Kagura team trademark whatever but she's a guest character she's a guest character but it's like do we take her out do we not because I mean we played enough of uppers to be like it's not that bad like girls are in the background she's in it as a badass no but like the mechanics of falling into cleavage to power up yes it like it's way less worse than seven Kagura games but that game is now being held back because of this issue is Sony a larger issue than any of the

censorship complaints wall like the main one that turned my eye on it from like laughing haha to not laughing anymore was the statement by Atlas about Catherine where they dance around the question there will be no mysterious lights yeah they said there will be no mysterious lights we've tried as hard as we can and it's like hmm but it's actually the bigger deal is that because of the switch over companies in Japan and China and what have you are now beholden to Pacific

business hours and must now submit all their applications and documentation in English which they did not have to do a couple months ago which has left I assume some developers like kind of fucked for a little bit as they probably did not even have people are planning for that reason see and what's weird is that usually when at least in terms of like certification the documents like that are given out way in advance you get a huge head seems quite sudden yeah but it's

like I can only imagine being an indie Japanese developer who doesn't have anyone on your team that speaks English or is awake during American business hours being told yes submit all your official documentation and paperwork in English that doesn't require just somebody who can speak English it also requires somebody who can speak English and knows that legal documentation so the end of this article about the this has the great light of as at sushi marina put it himself it's a

difficult problem. No Teddy ever heard a child no child in fact they nurture children no child ever saw a teddy and went yeah the exposed breasts made the toddler uncomfortable speaking of titties yeah what like what's what's up yeah which it is yeah okay I don't know which one you want to be I missed the left or the right one pick it I don't care it's up to you. I mean that's tough huh do I change size from now month to

month no what sometimes they on the left or rightness I don't know I've heard stranger things yeah I have not heard those things I don't understand how it works I don't claim to be an expert what are you talking about you brought it up what are you talking about but people told me that you said that were titties did you not see the clip no there was a clip and explained it quite well okay all right what so always confused because the other day he started streaming at eight and then I

started streaming at 10 by the way I announced first I should mention that because we didn't pay attention and somebody you you told me just go yeah I did yeah no but because people gave me shit over it because people come into my chat and go why are you stealing willy's juice like because I announced this yeah I didn't I've been that's why for years I haven't done anything but I've been paranoid about it and so I haven't checked it in check in response to these complaints I said hey guys

I have an analogy for you regarding the two streams oh you're a titty and I'm a titty okay imagine you can look at both okay and will a stream is over here now that stream is going to leave a little earlier okay so that one you cover it up grab that one now you go okay and hold on to that one got you this other one still going to be there for you after that one go away and imagine your eyes are hands see think about it my name is woolly and I approve this message see it makes

sense now perfect sense it's a friendly easy way to describe how to touch our streams with your eyes and speaking of titty like consistency you see the art somebody made out of it horrific no horrific no I didn't it's in it's in that if I if I'm asking about what the fuck it was it's horrific I will send it to you all right speaking of titty like consistency uh Sakurai explains that there's a reason why Kirby survived sand and it likes Kirby that's but it's no no but it is that's

the reason all right I want to point out every single reason the who's end up the entire complete coincidence entire story that Willie's about to describe to all of you is second hand huge lies everything Sakurai says in the story is fucking bullshit and it's because he likes Kirby and he's too proud to admit it I think Sakurai is a noble hero and I think you would never lie that is crap so Sakurai says upon being interviewed about Kirby uh in typical so yes

the there's they asked about life light the awesome song they picked arena koga the 17 year old amateur shoes she had a great voice uh Kirby was chosen as the first character for a world of light why turns out that the reason was not personal bias even though I knew people would expect that but a mix of game design choices and process of elimination Galeem's attack spans galaxies and Kirby with his warp star made him a contender to survive the attack Sakurai considered

Bayonetta and Pellutena as well but because other characters of their caliber like purgatorio enemies and Viridi were turned into spirits it wouldn't make sense for them to survive furthermore Bayonetta and Pellutena weren't beginner friendly he also even goes down into full interview into like remarkably specific detail as to shit like why didn't Bayo escape into limbo and all sorts of shit like that if people who are uh people who are spirits in spirits mode are

stronger than them that it wouldn't make sense that they got caught furthermore does that mean that hey Sakurai why does the Japanese name for the mode Tomoshi be no Hoshi when read backwards have a different kanji reading that's Hoshi no Kabi a.k.a. the name of the game Kirby one backwards Sakurai says down a smoke bomb and left the interview what a coincidence Lee coincidence wow isn't that Zany he just happens to be the first playable character you can switch out the others whenever

you want it has nothing to do with any kind of preference whatsoever that and I believe him that is the part I'm with Sakurai proves what a fucking pile of shit never lies this is such complete never lies admit it fine you like Kirby Kirby's cool right Sakurai shut the fucking fucking liar he runs an honest campaign no smears that is he's asking our kissing babies the problem here is that me and Moto directed this game and Mario survives will he be like boo be smirch this hard

working man all he's ever asked for is that you no longer ask him for anything I'm going to ask him for everything I want doom guy sands and Salaire I just won't give a shit Kimia Harada and Sakurai to team up and create the like jet stream attack of don't ask me for shit yeah love it they're going to uppercut you and then with their newly broken hand ban you on Twitter and for those that triple triple and for those that believe in the the honesty and the truth of Sakurai the final

Kirby star allies update is out and it's a big one I saw some of this shit there's some weird shit so they alongside all the characters that came out they have a full on mode called heroes in another dimension that is just a full on big DLC pack that will allow you to basically almost like sample all the playable characters that have been released post really post game release so all the stuff that's that's been happening up until now all the extra content is kind of like fitting

into this new campaign that you can check out and I'm looking at Kirby you're playing a trailer right now and I'm looking at Kirby in the environment that doesn't fit it seemed to fit Kirby at all because it looks like it's from like Hollow Knight or Dark Souls yeah oh no that's that's where that's where star allies that's where star allies goes and with the friend circle and so a friend train yes the train yeah yeah and this update as well includes brand new lore implications so yeah I read

those I didn't so confusing as I have no basis good times all I saw is a screenshot of the astral birth good good times for for people that are on board the Kirby hype train which should be everybody yeah like this is the last bit of DLC and it's like they kind of like you're saying well maybe the DLC after this might be paid or this might be the last Kirby's marshmallow and fights a happy tree so there's been a lot of DLC I think this is the last I'd like to think so I mean they could do more

but really they they went above and beyond you know they this game had a really great tail end and yeah they're finishing big so we'll find out more about that and I'm probably going to stream it and say what's going on more content for Willie first probably going to stream it's going on built for honestly for real I mean to be fair like I've waited years to quote-unquote pull my Kirby trigger yeah you know this this whole thing is only really soft squishy trigger at that I've

been I've been talking about Kirby for years but I but like haven't done anything with it outside of say that like it's my favorite one of my favorite considering sorry I'll smash the timing couldn't have been more ideal that's the thing yeah star allies kind of gun could kind of pushed it and and seeing how fucking solid that is the word smash and every tag release more mashups that was a good one pull my Puyo trigger that's good alright let's take some letters hey if you

want to send a letter possibly correction most of which have been anti corrections as they've been wrong themselves send it to super best friend cast to gmail.com that's super best friend cast at gmail.com any corrections see if you want to go straight to those sure yes you set it up then we can do that I like the corrections that are completely wrong those are my favorite we've got one coming in from key and thank you specified how to say it oh thank you dear

sons of Zubas correction regarding DMC's devil trigger and how it resembles the original Dante in the DMC LP Willie throws out the idea that Dante and to an extension Ninja theory are making fun of the original Dante design was a joke slash foreshadowing about how Dante resembles the classic one after activating his DT Pat says it's possible but doesn't think it's likely to be the case Willie might actually be correct because the evidence comes from the first pal from

the first game our pal new Dante appeared in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale in PSA be in PSA SBR what an awful record that was just the wow what a fucking mouthful Jesus Christ had a really excellent alt costume going for most of the regular characters for instance right and had his revengeance outfit yeah and his sneaking suit from MGS to there are also some really deep deep cuts like parappa having a space suit from that one level in on Jammer Lamy which makes

Dante's costumes notably disappointing his three costumes were in order his regular outfit makes sense his regular outfit without the coat got it and his regular outfit without the coat and tank top. They just had this is topless I guess so in an interview with Omar Kendall one of the directors at Superbot he alludes to asking Capcom to first have classic Dante in the game before getting shot down and then asked to include Dante's classic

series look as an alternate costume but was again shot down due to Capcom's plans for DLC costumes and surprises for DMC and that they didn't want people being spoiled by All-Stars so this implies that Dante's connection to the original Dante was meant to be a big surprise and Capcom was eager to hide that in promotional material even to the point of ruining his appearance in a crossover game. Thanks for reading your girl Kien.

Great. Thank you. Well, Dante being in the game ruins everything in the sense that it's like God when you talk about PlayStation I forgot that came out first whatever when you talk about it's like it makes less sense as time goes on you really like at the time everyone's like what the fuck but I think when you really look back on it's like now it's like that failed like Capcom is now burying that reboot so it would have been so much more

classic and memorable if you put the Dante that most people associate with Devil May Cry slash the PlayStation brand at least the PlayStation. Smash Brothers has a better god damn fucking PlayStation roster in it right now. It does. It fucking does. It's got cloud.

It's got cloud. Do you think you think it's got Richter? Do you think PSAS? Snake. You think PSASBR was actually just the first version of Sony doing the hey Nintendo just did a cool thing. I want to do it too. Oh no for a fucking second a single person working on that

game ever thought there was going to be a sequel but like the foreshadowing between that and the PlayStation classic. Yeah, but like there weren't there was no Smash Brothers game that was new at the time PlayStation all stars like Brawl had been out for a few years and it was an in-between time. Yeah, it was it was in it was in the clone years. The Clone Wars.

The Clone Wars. Yeah, I guess that's a correction but I guess it's not wrong. It was one that came in. Interesting tale nonetheless. Okay. Cody says found a recent thread about your old cartoon style shirt with Liam on it.

The fact that you can still buy the shirt really undiscovered is a really underscores the starry state of merch around here. This guy isn't mad at you. He's just mad that he can't buy things with your faces on it. All you guys are doing. I get you guys are all still busy doing your own thing and

stuff. I get that. But what you do what you can do is have someone else do the marketing for you because yeah, I would agree that I'd get some new merch or something small. So huge fan basically working on it. Yeah, working on it. The answer the fans would like to have some new merch is being worked on working on it.

Might take a while though. Apologies. Yeah. Oh, questions. We're better today. No, no, they were. I just first all shit.

There's just so there's there's what there's there's one from like way back and I was just trying to remember which one it was. Here's a by the way man. I want to give you a fucking thumbs up for that 99 puppies fucking meme. You're completely on point with that shit 99 puppies but a bitch ain't one.

That's not true. Straight up incorrect. No, but but it but it feels good. Does it? It feels like it could work. Like just JZ with a bunch of puppies. Bunch of Dalmatians. But like the mom is included in the 101.

So it's the 99. Isn't the mom? Are they the? Yeah, the mom and dad are the are the are 100 and 101. Yeah, it's not called the 101 puppies is called Dalmatians. Yeah, that's right. Okay. Dalmatians aren't very good dogs.

They're great at fire. Man, I related things. Yeah, I guess, but they're not good like companion animals. They're like that movie was resulted in tons of children wanting Dalmatian puppies and then getting bitten. I mean, dude, it's the fucking clownfish like problem like Dalmatians are not good with children. So like, yeah, they're because they're super in bread.

Yeah, and I heard about that. Yeah, there's a couple breeds that are like just like worse off and in general and that's unfortunate. Hey, guys, in a recent episode of Jojo. Yes. Gun user Mista comments that the gunshots probably don't sound as loud as they do in the movies. Bullshit given Pat stated new VR gun fears from the last project

podcast and discussions from movies where cops must not actually exist. I just wanted to point out that probably the most under represented I want to put the point at the most under represented fact in fiction. The decibel level of a lower caliber gunshot is greater than that of direct thunder. Around 150 decibels compared to 130 guns are loud as fuck.

It ranks actually among the loudest sounds humans can produce just below a military jet taking off a very well suppressed low caliber gun is actually extremely similar in volume to an air horn right next to your ear. Although hundreds of factors can radically alter how far sound travels. Yeah, sure. There are a few guns that cannot be heard from at least a few

miles away by this rather by the way this means having hearing damage among gunfireers with ear protection is universal. Imagine a lightning bolt striking next year every time you pull the trigger but louder. Guido Mr. Bayonetta Dante cover based combat man or whatever you want to call it must be all deaf as shit. Part of why soldiers use hand signs to communicate in firefights doesn't this simple fact may basically make most

modern stealth games crime dramas and actually anything with guns kind of stupid. Don't worry about it. They're magic guns. Every time anyone fires a gun and metal gear solid every character you meet in that game heard it for example. I'm pushing. That's true.

Metal Gear Solid has guards with the eyesight of 10 feet. So we're we're having some it's it's a flaw in the game for narrative convenience here. Thanks Ben. Also Bayonetta's guns are magic. So are Dante's and Nero's and also they're magic. They are also so their ears can be magic too. Don't worry.

Yeah, see but the but this was in fact called podcast facts Dante is deaf gunshot loudness and why video games magic. He can heal from a sword through the chest. It's like Metal Gear. I'll all maintain that like yeah there's some shit going on there that's stupid but it's like it's a fucking character action game. Yeah, luckily.

Luckily we talk about gunshot. Like could you imagine how different that my cry would be if Dante had like just horrific tinnitus. I don't think you would open up like a mercenary business called Devil May Cry if you did also let's not forget that DMC one Dante aka Kamiya Dante could live forever in devil trigger form. If you want to.

I don't know that noises would be a problem. Yeah. James says. Hey James, what up? Dear project hammer friends. Oh snap. This is one for Matt. Fucking can of Coke to that guy.

You got a problem. What cancellation hits you the hardest personally hearing Ash versus Evil Dead was cancelled made me quite sad especially since the premise for season four was Evil Dead meets Mad Max meets Fallout. Yeah. All the best James. Chrono resurrection.

PT. You know what? I'm changing my silent changing my voice to Silent Hills. There's also one that's not really well known rare talked about it in the rare replay collection. They were teaming up with Guillermo del Toro to make a first person horror game called Sundown. Yeah.

That got cancelled. Microsoft didn't want anything to do with it. Scale bound scale bound. Final Fight Seven Sons. But that's right on the same tier list. Honestly, it's not. I mentioned it because I mentioned it, but it's not even on near like the same planetoid as like fucking.

Junji Ito was going to be on. Yeah. Yeah. I can't I far I've I've so forgotten like I forced myself to forget I guess because there's still pain is too much. Like there's a there is definitely that that possibility out there where it's like as crazy interesting as of an art project as death stranding is that Silent Hills would have

just been the best thing ever. It's still possible that that could have been a thing, but. Capcom fighting all stars fighting all stars on hyper strider DD Rook and Ingrid. Yeah. It might not have been great, but I would have really liked to see Legacy of Cain Dark Sun. Yeah.

Yeah, let's go on. Mark of the Wolves to Mark of the Wolves to. Yeah, there's some sad ones out there. I still very much would have read the like to have seen Van Buren of the fallout Van Buren, the original version, which was top down like the old games. And unless you guys got other good ones because there's there's some, you know, that feels bad.

There's more, but Ravenblade. I recently end a video I'm making right now. I get to talk about fucking Ravenblade, but it looks like shit. You look at that video just not it's not a fun time. But Ravenblade, though, you just like the name. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. And we got coming in from Dustin. Good day and happy non specific winter holiday month. So with Willie getting done with near, it got me thinking about my unfortunate experience with the game. Basically, it goes like this. I bought the game at launch, played it through to just before ending a then got distracted by other things,

loved the environments, setting in combat a lot when I first played it, but it always was in the back of my mind to revisit. Took me almost four months at which point I had forgotten a lot of what happened in the story. Not learning my lesson. I made it to ending B, stopped for another two months, and I finally beat it and finished the other endings not too long ago.

But I can't shake the feeling that I would have enjoyed everything so much more if I didn't let it sit for so long. You totally would have. In this instance, dropping the story halfway and then trying to hop back in after so long makes the impact so much weaker. It really makes me sad because this game is so damn good, but I can't help but feel like I've tainted it for myself. I was just wondering if you ever had a similar experience

with a game that you feel you've ruined for yourself, and have you ever been able to salvage it? I got to North Cave and lost my save file in FF7, and then got to North Cave again, and a friend fucked the save file over by saving over it. So I only beat FF7 on my third full trip through the game. That'll sour. That took the wind out of the sails.

That'll sour in a big, big, big, yeah. Oh, yeah. I think this is the version of a question that we answered in year one or so, but I'm going to come back to it because it's like, what's your bitterest loss or game memory or whatever in that vein? Golden Sun. Final fucking, final dungeon thing,

final on the way to the final tower save point. I get past the boss fight, and I go to the save, and as I'm saving the game, the battery dies. Literally, literally, literally, battery's fading, and I'm panicking because I'm in the middle of a boss fight, so I can't do anything about it,

and I'm like, fuck, fuck, fuck, and I rush as hard as I can, beat the boss, mash through the dialogue, and just decide I'll read it back later some other time, right? Or I'll ask somebody, rush to the nearest save after the boss, hit that thing, and I didn't, and I guess I learned now that when the light, back in the day,

the light flashes a little bit brighter sometimes when you're using a bit more energy, and the process of saving used just exactly what it had left. Corrupted the fuck out of my save. So what would have been better for you to have just had to die in the middle of the boss fight? And I would have gotten back to my last save.

Yep, and that was the wind out of the sails and a hole in the boat, you know? And then Golden Sun 2 came along and was like, hey, if you carry over your safety net. Oh, man. You can continue with the same party in choices. Oh, man. Back in a time when no games did that.

Twist the knife deeper, Golden Sun 2. And that was the end of that. I remember getting my DS stolen right as I had finished the third case in Ace Attorney, the first one, and had to redo the fucking clown trial shit again. Still Samurai. Fucking spools.

You had to redo a bunch of cases. Yeah, which like, man, those cases are not great on replay. Tell you what. I've talked about it before, but like, badly managing IMO and Code Veronica and getting fucked over with the... The metal detector, or that metal detector, special box that doesn't carry over to Alaska.

Whoops. Sorry, Antarctica. And just not getting the revolver. Not getting the fire extinguisher to put out the fire to get the revolver, because I was low on ammo and couldn't beat Alexia, so. Yeah, that's rough. Those games you could like, once you know, you could find...

That's the only box like that in Resident Evil, I think. Give me a second. The metal detector box. Yep, it's the only one in all of Resident Evil that is like that. There might be one like that in fucking Dead Aim. Sure. But we wouldn't know.

We would not. I did lose an FF7 save too, as well. Like, my brother deleted fucking everything just after I made it out of Midgar. And back then, for someone who didn't play RPGs at all and was having one of my first experiences with them all... That felt like the biggest accomplishment in the world. So you kicked your brother's ass, right?

Yeah. We kicked many times before and after that. And alongside that was my... He deleted my shit, and I lost that. I lost my ride-in fucking progress and my scores. And that, I lost a bunch of Dragon Ball gifts that I had collected, if you recall. And the real one and the thing that, to this day,

was my Mugen characters and work. Right. And that was just... Well, you know what, Woolly? Yep. It was the Lord's will that you lose those things so that you could get here and use the pain of those memories to usher your new success.

It was all for the world with no pain. God's plan. I spent a couple hours... God's plan. God's plan. I spent a couple hours trying to unlock Fred Durst and SmackDown. It's really hard.

You have to beat like a 30-guy handicap match as the Undertaker. And you have to, like, cheese it out. I have to look up strategies on how to do it. And just saved it on the PS2 memory card and just straight up lost the memory card. Oh, man. I never want to redo it again.

Did I ever tell you about that fucking contest at Microplay? What? No. It was a monthly contest. Yeah. And it was a monthly contest and it's like you win a free game. Sure. If you're number one.

Any game you want. Right? And it was you win a free copy of... No, I forget if it was any game you want or a specific game. That sucks if it's a specific game. It must be something you wanted. I think it was you win a... Yeah, I think no.

I think it was straight up just win a free game. Okay. And they'd have this monthly contest and you would sign up for it, right? And it would be like you pay whatever to enter and to give it a shot. And it was in this case, it was play a round of WrestleMania 2000 or no mercy.

A match. Cage match. It had to be a cage match against the CPU on a hard. Sure. You had to beat it as fast as possible with the fastest possible time. All right. And myself and my friends, we all fucking just went ham on this and like...

You get a free game. You know whatever, right? Holy shit. We were in the... And so like there was... And there was other like local like French kids that were taking their shot at it as well. And there was like...

I remember it got down to like, you know, it was like a minute and 50, minute 49 was around, you know, like really, really quick. Like you just, you just exploit the ackee engine and go nuts on it. You get when it came at... Make cage match fast if you know what to do. I picked Kane.

I remember going in and whatnot. And then... You picked a giant with a neck cap. And I remember my friend Gavin and I, we were clearly like, like fucking like doing it and competing with all these kids and getting it down to 145. 144.

And then it was like the last day. And I came in. Please don't tell me the guy that works at MicroPlay just turns it off and says like, no, you're... It was the last day. And I was like, it's still going, right? And they're like, yeah, sure. And I was like, okay, cool, signed up.

And I went in and I remember I picked the cage match. And the CPU was Goldberg. I picked Kane. And I said it to hard. Did all the rules cage match? That's incorrect, sir. What? Because how are you being Kane,

but you're fighting Goldberg? No, no, not, no, it wasn't, no, no, no, it wasn't that. What was it? I forget. Austin? Whatever. It looks like Goldberg. It was someone.

It was whatever. But like, yeah. Anyway. And I picked Kane and put it on hard, went to the cage match and crushed it in a minute and 25 seconds. Crushed everybody else. And not Dave, but the other guy that works there.

You remember the other guy? I can't remember their names. Fucking goes, you cheated. And I'm like, Did you wiggle the stick? And I'm like, what do you, what do you mean? I cheated. And it's like, no, that's no way.

There's no, like that's just, it's too fast. I don't, come on. I don't believe that. How do you cheat? And I'm like, I'm like, Do you see a game shark in the fucking game? Like, tell me what the fuck you're talking about. Right.

And like that was like, it was like a perfect situation of like, you got, you fucking got the time. Right. And it's like, wait, so you're saying just what? Do it, like do it again. And it's like, okay, but the whole thing has been in the 140s the whole time. 125 is a clear fucking lead.

Yeah. And he's just like, no, I don't, you, come on. You know, and it was just like, Oh, people have been doing it. And they're, and all the best times I've seen so far have been you guys in the 140s or so, 150s. So doing it at 125, come on. I just don't believe that.

There's no way. But how did I cheat though? That's fine. Literally, literally exactly that argument. And I don't know how you treated, but there's no way you could have gotten that. Not whole legal grounds. Exactly.

But it's fucking micro play. Why did you want the foot? Why did you have a contest? You want to give away a game and like, literally just standing and yelling. And the dude's like, I don't care. Nope. You know, whatever.

What's the saying for like, it doesn't matter to me in French. I forget, but it's like, like, so he kept saying that thing where it's like, I don't give a fuck, but like the, whatever the Quebec version. I'm not super familiar. And I'm just like,

and I'm like, okay, like I just don't even know what to do at this point. And I'm just like, so what? I just fucking lose. That's it. I won, but I lose. And he's just like, yeah, no, that doesn't count.

And that was it. And I just fucking went home. And I fucking won, but I lost. And that was it. I just went home. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, like, if I was on the jury,

I wouldn't convict you. I'm just saying, I'd be like, yeah, no fuck it. That guy deserved it. That's so good. Cause that's like, that's just straight up villainy.

Like that point. Like, How old are you in the story? This is, this is Micro play at fucking coat for two. So I'm,

Oh shit. I knew that. I'm, I'm coming out of fucking high school. Okay. Must have been grade nine. Okay. You know what?

You know what? You could have gotten away with anything, dude. You didn't win is usually reserved for your opponent. Not the fucking judge. So how you should have burned that. Like, like,

doesn't even describe it. You could have just grabbed a random game and run off. That is a villain origin story. It is. That's Mr. Glass. Life, life isn't fair.

So guess what? Time to be unfair. Like, oh, oh, this is how it goes. Power rules everything, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Mike controls.

Mike does Mike control everything being the best. It means you're not the best. Sorry, fair and square. I'm going to cut it. What you should have done. Bill and origin stories. You should have known you'd crush it.

Therefore, you would have given the computer a little bit more time and you would have come in at like 139. Then you would have gone. This reminds me, but you were too good. Your shine was too strong. I landed every single heavy attack.

Every single grapple was done. The frame, the guy that he got back up. You're good at acting engine. I have no doubt. Maximum. Maximum efficiency. Smash that button to crawl out of the cage.

Do you remember when GameStop said that we're going to have like a world, a nationwide tournament in the States or something like that for Super and it was like show up and it's like, here's your Xbox controller. Yes.

Who can beat the CPU the fastest. Yes. And everyone was like, what? Yeah. What the fuck is this? Yeah, exactly. And that was after their first try at it

was again, here's your controller. Here's your Xbox controller. Line up against these people at the fucking boutique or whatever. And like motherfuckers with their sticks were like, what do you,

what is this? And it was one game, seven rounds. It was literally, literally one match, seven rounds. CPU. And that was the fucking GameStop tournament.

And if you remember the fucking asshole we don't talk to anymore is the GameStop champ of that fucking tournament or whatever. And then that goes all the way up to the point where we're watching Justin Wong and Daigo sitting on a main stage

fighting a game with one game, seven rounds going, okay. I guess. Holy shit, man. That's the best. Yeah.

What a great story. Yeah. You went home. I did feel really good when we laughed at you during that awful memory. Yeah. What a great feeling.

I pretty sure that one. I didn't laugh. Pretty sure that one came up before. But that was. I've never heard that one before. That's wild. No, I think I've heard you like fart out the whispers of this story,

but I never heard the full thing. I remember you didn't like a microplane. That's it. Just like it was the like the highest high. Yeah. They just brought like what is it the fucking

the bliss of victory, the agony of defeat. Yeah. Snatched very quickly. Defeat. Snatched from the jaws of victory. Like from just from doing my fucking touchdown dance,

like pop it off at that one 25 and then you just looks at it and just goes. Nope, man. Arbitrary. I don't think I've ever been as angry in my life as I was as a young person

when an adult was fucking wrong, but because they were an adult, there's nothing you can do about it. Like that's the feeling the persona five is all about. Yeah. Which is fuck you. You're so full of shit.

Yeah. But you're old. You're like five years older. Yeah. That is. No, that is the most righteous fire of all time is like when you know,

you know. When you're friend. But it's just age. When you're talking. That's making it so that you're only wrong because you're younger. You're talking to a friend. Yep.

And your friend's dad comes in and says something that's completely fucking wrong. Like a hundred. Like, oh, yeah, they're going to cancel the PlayStation because it gives people cancer.

And you're like, I don't remember stories like that. And you're like, no friends, dad. That's not a real thing. You're super. Yeah, whatever. Get out. Speaking of going to my boy Keith's

place. We're playing games. PlayStation, Keith. PlayStation, Keith. Not PlayStation. No other key. My other key. Okay.

Right. And I had my various variants of this, but it was the most recent one because I remember it was like, we were so far beyond this generation for this to still be a thing. HDMI's exist.

Yeah. And it's like, don't use your PlayStation. Two. On the big TV or no. Three. Or no. Three.

Or PS3 on the big TV. Shut up. You're going to ruin it. Shut up. And it's like, was it key? He is on. And it's like, yeah, we're not

allowed to play downstairs on the big TV. And it's like, you're yours. Don't use no Nintendo's allowed on the big TV. You're going to break it. And it's like,

no, no, this is an HDMI cable. This doesn't work. Kendo's though. And it's like, I don't want no Nintendo HDMI. And it's like, no, no, no, no, listen, listen, lady, lady,

like you're thinking of coaxial cables. Do you know what that word is? No. Oh, games. Video games break the TV. Got it. Right.

Okay. Cool. It's like, no, this is my TV, my house, my rules. Don't give a fuck. And it was just like, I got my mom with, my mom was like always like that

until I just like, like there was a point where my brother and I were able to be like, listen, mom, we love you. You don't understand technology. And that's okay. But you're not allowed to create

rules based on things you don't understand. Nothing. Right. Well, I'm an adult. I can do whatever the fuck I want. I'm older than you. Yeah.

And this, and that happened, like at least like, does generations ago, you know, and I've seen this happen with other friends. But the fact that it was as late as PS3, blew my fucking mind.

You hope, and the adult hopes that their adultness would allow them to power through this conversation. And when you're, this is super armor. And when you're, you're going to need a lot of

hits for this to break down. And when you're an angry West Indian aunt. Yeah. That's super armor. Super, super. It's infinite. I had a friend whose dad

worked on computers. I forget his job, but just get my friend's computer one and turn on. And he's like, dad, like the computer won't turn on. He's like, you've been

downloading too many pictures. Yeah. Yeah. What? Yeah. What does that mean? And he's like, you've, you've been downloading pictures

of the video games and, and then your Japanese cartoons. And this is like, I want to say like 1998, 1999. And we're like, I'm pretty sure the computer will turn on if there's

pictures on it. And he's like, well, we'll see about that. And he turns it on and it wouldn't turn on. He's like, yeah, see, there you go. Too many pictures.

I have. Fuck you. Oh man. I have two stories for this. One is very similar to the one you just told Matt. Yeah. And one is very similar to

the one that Willie did. My dad told me that the reason why the computer was running like shit was because that new card I put in there and that Diablo game were making the computer run like shit because I'm playing too many

games. It's downloading something because I got a new, I got a GeForce 2 for Diablo 2, Lords of, Lords of Destruction. Yeah. And he's like,

you're downloading too much games on it. It's making the game run like shit. And I'm like, dad, it's a bonsai buddy. Yep. It's fucking bonsai buddy.

That thing makes the computer run like shit. The fucking bonsai buddy? No. Don't tell me that. Bonsai buddy's great. He's really helpful. Like,

it's really good. Don't, don't you fuck the computer up with your games and then tell me that my program is fucking it up. Wasn't the line like, bonsai buddy is my friend

or bonsai buddy's really helpful or something like that. It's lost in my mind now. Oh my god. So this, this ended up like a year ago. I was like, hey, by the way, dad,

just let, you know, bonsai buddy was fucking bullshit. I was so mad about it then. Oh my god. And then the second one, adding into the context, actually of a story I told last week.

So I told the story last week, in which I scammed a man in order to get Super Street Fighter for early, right? I now remember in telling these types of stories, that same guy

tried to convince me a week after the PlayStation 3 unveiling that it was going to cost a thousand dollars. He wasn't off that boy that much. That it wasn't going to have backwards compatibility

and that you needed two TVs to play. That's funny. Right? Oh, the Kuduragi years. The Kuduragi years, man. And thus, I should buy an Xbox

360 instead from him at his store. Yeah. And I remember standing there going like, dude, you're super fucking wrong. And I didn't have a good phone then. Right?

We all had shitty burders, whatever. You couldn't look it up. I couldn't just show him how fucking wrong he was. Okay. So I'm like, dude, you're completely full of shit.

Pull it up on your fucking computer, because you know, he's like, no man, trust me, I know. I work at the store. Well, yeah. I know people.

See this name tag? He might not even be an adult, but because he works in the store, he's automatically smart. Authority, right? Yeah, yeah. Authority for me. I just like walked out.

I was like, you're so wrong. I was like, hey, man, I'm just telling you, I'm letting you know. I'm like, you're wrong. Okay. And to this day, I will never know

whether or not he was willfully making bullshit up. He was right. Or he just misunderstood the whole thing. I like a console that needs two TVs. That's innovative.

He was probably on like the dark part of game facts, right? In those are in those like console war threads and someone dropped that and he went, what? And then just took it and started spouting it out.

I don't remember the context of this too well, but I remember someone complaining that the computer was slow. And I remember, I don't even remember if it's our computer, but I remember looking at a desktop

and the entire desktop was filled with a shortcut to snood. And that's it. Yeah. And I was just like, why is there so many? You only need one. I'm just thinking because one time

I blame Banzai, buddy, but I did flash the firmware of the motherboard to the wrong person. And that was 100% my fault. Okay. Well, sure. Yeah. No, I remember it taking a goddamn,

it took eons to get my mom to understand the difference between single clicking in browsers and double clicking on desktop items, because navigating through a website versus through folders are two different things. And just like the frustration in opening too many windows

or clicking on a thing and then two things, it just fucking didn't work. Yeah, my mom has a Chromebook, which she uses, but anything beyond that, she just can't. Double clicking is still

beyond my mother. And it's like, I had a conversation the other day too, where I was kind of just like, I'm like, because the thing is, you still get the calls over like, hey, phones acting up,

some things or whatever. Yeah, my mom's call is, the next time you come hang out, can you help me with my call? Fix this thing or that thing, and that's usually how that goes. And I'm kind of like, I just remember the versions of this,

or my mom would be kind of like, okay, when I was having problems, I think sometime, there'd be like, okay, but did you actually try? And I'd be like, oh, well, you know, and then eventually I would go back

and figure it out, learn how to do the thing, and it was fine. So now I'm kind of going, doing the reverse of like, okay, but did you, like it's been like 10 years of these, the advice over the same thing.

Like, are you trying? Cause you're, you're, we're hitting the same wall, you know? And yeah, it's like, I feel like the layout of these things,

like iPhones, it's like it's gotten simpler, you know, it hasn't gotten more complex, but in any case, that, whatever, yeah. People are full of shit. That's the end of that whole segment. Fuck shitty adults.

Shitty adults who are full of fucking shit. You remember being like 10, and the guy at the game store tell you fucking outrageous lies? And you'd be like, well, and he'd go like, well, I work at the store, you know, I know things.

And you're like, well, EGM says you're full of shit. And I'll take EGM's word over yours any day you fucking stupid motherfucker. Right, right, right, right, right. I remember that. Oh man. I should tell my nephew outrageous lies

to fuck with them. The problem is that they have much more ready access to the internet. Yeah. It can call you out very much easier. You can't stop internet kids. Yeah. Like we're now internet adults

with internet kids, like everyone's information and then think like, come on. I need to find out what it feels like to be, oh my God, shut up. Oh my God. Breaking news. Oh.

Bethesda support says we're finalizing manufacturing plans for replacement canvas bags for Fallout 76 power armored edition. If you purchase the CE, please visit this link and submit a ticket by January 31st. We'll arrange to send you a replacement as soon as bags are ready.

I can't believe you should get it. I can't get the canvas. Canvas bags are good material, man. That this has escalated to the point where they actually are going to do it. Because there's no way they're doing this out of the goodness of their heart. They just want this stink to go away

and are willing to pay for the stink to go away. This is a graceful back down. That's unprecedented. This is one hell of a back down. Because like special editions come with shitty fucking crap all the time and the answers always suck it, right? Hey, my figure broke.

Yeah, get fuck it, whatever, right? This, wow. Well, the sentence, I believe, is we don't plan on doing anything about it. That's caught. Oh my god. What is going on? What's coming up?

What's coming out? Smash Ultimate comes out. Smash Ultimate comes out this week and so do the game. I haven't heard anything about it. Yeah, I heard the game's gonna suck. I haven't heard anything about it. It's very depressing.

We are boldly going where No Man has gone before into the buggiest game that I think we've ever done in LTS. It's the one I have. It's the worst buggiest game I've played on this channel. And it is responsible for Warframe. It is directly responsible.

In fact, somebody sent me a photo today of in one of the earlier builds of Star Trek, you could see Warframe assets. There you go. Confirmed. That game sucks. We're playing Star Trek. Oh boy.

Without Dark Sector and Star Trek, there would be no Warframe. I watched Star Trek Beyond this week specifically to talk about on that LP. Good, good, good. We also got more DMC coming up. We're just about done with DMC, actually. There's only one extra little baby piece

that we gotta take a hold of. Gotta trip and fall. And then me and... We're not doing too. Stop it. And stop it. I can hear you at home, fucker. And then we gotta figure out

what the fuck we're doing next. And then you two are trypsing about in Disneyland asking about... Musing. Goofy fucking. Musing over the details of Goofy's sexual activity. Aladdin's amazing move that

he will never ever get to see it. You'll never see it. You'll see Clayton's moves, though. Tons of them. Too many of them. Too many styles. Yeah. Why does every AI partner just randomly jump

when they're standing still and they just jump? Yeah, it's pretty stupid. I don't know what to tell you. Yeah, behavior is stupid. Never changed. Did you guys go to Tarzan World first? Or did you go to Alice in Wonderland first?

Alice in Wonderland. Well, it had to be first. Oh, yeah? Yeah, okay. Yeah. So we did that. I forget. After Jungle Land is Agrabah.

Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. Lotta is taking me looking levels there. So that's fun. What was I gonna say? So... What? No, so yeah, Kingdom Hearts and Devil May Cry

and Star Trek. Oh, God. Hey, by the way, it's been one year almost to the day since me and Matt recorded a first contact commentary track with Plague of Grypes. I accidentally started listening to that this morning before coming to work because somebody posted it on their subreddit

and was giggling all the way here about fucking torpedoes being beamed onto the... Oh, God, that scene in the game. ...under the fucking Klingon Bridge filled with spider cum. Go check that out on Plague. Oh, Jesus Christ. Yeah, no, there's all sorts of wild shit in that Star Trek commentary.

Okay. You don't know what they do with that holodeck cum. Willie, in the game, you call down an airstrike from the Enterprise and you're about 10 feet away from where the airstrike's gonna land. And you're fine. Fantastic.

So that's a thing. What are we all doing on our personal things? Matt, you're streaming tomorrow. Yeah, I haven't streamed in like a good month and I've been meeting tears. It's been so busy. But yeah, let's go Eevee the best version. Yeah, Eevee's better than Pikachu.

Let's all realistically understand this. I think it's hands down. Just that's the word. It's like a chihuahua. Yeah. Why even make a Pikachu version? Well, because it's Pikachu. So I'll be streaming that tomorrow night at 8 p.m.

They could have had some balls. Could have. Yeah. The shows. Yeah, let's go hitmonchan, right? Yeah. Man, hitmonchan. Come on.

I just said the first word I thought of. And aside from that, I take a look at Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Phantom Blood on the PS2, which is a weird, weird game. I don't know that existed. Yeah. So it's a beat-em-up action game that just and it's before the anime.

Yeah. So it's weird. Been sitting on that one for a minute. Yeah. And I should have a what happened episode about the guy game coming up. Matt, what are you wearing? Oh, I'm wearing a very stylish,

airigay content rated by the Flophouse shirt, which you might be able to purchase in the new Flophouse collection, which I just launched this weekend. Oh, congratulations. There you go. Congratulations. Yeah, that's a word.

Fuck it. Congratulations. Yeah. Well, what's your plans for the week? Well, tomorrow I'm probably, there's still a chance of bite now, but probably going to run a little birthday stream. Is tomorrow, in fact, your real birthday?

Tomorrow is, in fact, my real birthday. So what I'm going to do is just set up a stream and I'm probably going to just play some fight games and beat some people up on the internet. Do you want to coordinate so that's not at the same time? All you have to do is not start at the exact same time. Yeah. What's happening?

Are you serious right now? No, no, what time? Eight. Eight. Okay. I haven't streamed in like a good month, so I've been meaning to do it. Okay.

Well. You made like a post about it. Like hours and hours. Yeah, that's how I knew about it, because I saw it. See, I thought, I assume you were going out for dinner. We're doing that on Wednesday. That's not your birthday. No, my birthday's tomorrow.

Okay. So do you remember, remember, remember my whole thing? Do you remember my whole thing about streaming? I do. Yeah. So isn't this ridiculous? So, woolly, I got to say, like, hey, listen, you're doing a great job.

What do I do? Shut up. You're doing, if you're right now, shut up. You're doing a great job, but your timing is the worst. You decided to start streaming the week that I took off, which meant I streamed every single day. Then you accidentally announced streams after other people have announced their streams to coincide.

You got to keep your eyes open, man. But the problem is that I'm only able to decide these things last minute because of how my- Just have your birthday a different day. Just move it. My schedule should go. Yeah, just move my birthday. My schedule should is so fucking silly that I can only do it

on short notice whenever there's time windows. Then all you got to do- And this was the fear of, like, not stepping on toes and shit. Well, I don't give a shit, Matt. Do you give a fuck as long as I start at eight? Yeah. I mean, because that's the whole thing is, like, should I care or not?

I cared too much for too long and I didn't do anything because I did care. Listen, this is the answer to your prayers. Are you ready? Are you ready to hear this? Care for two hours. That's it. Yeah.

If I start at eight, don't start at eight. Okay. If Matt starts at eight, don't start at eight. If you start at eight, I start at 10. That being said, this is really funny. Okay. This is really funny because it was like, when it was like, just, dude,

just like stop being in your own head. Just stop, just do it. Who cares? Because that was universal advice was stop caring. Just do it, right? And I was like, okay. And so each time I just clicked the button, you know, it was never, because it was like,

when am I going to be free based on like how busy I am right now? Yeah. And what's the time window that allows me to finish on time to do with the other shit? Yeah. And it just happened to be that. Oh yeah. No, totally.

The page is in a similar situation. She'll have a day. It was like, I want to stream and then Lupus. Oh my God. And then Lupus. See, she has a disease. Yes, there's that. What's your scheme?

Literally, literally, literally what I was afraid of, you know? Okay. For example, hey guys, I might be streaming tonight on angry's pet. Why? Because I'm bored. Because I feel like it. I'm also going to stream on Thursday, uh, game awards. And I might, that might go on a smash, depending if it comes out on midnight.

And I'm planning on streaming Friday for quite a bit during the day with my pal fuggins because Smash Brothers is a fighting game and two people play fighting game better. Yeah. I've only been free on Saturday. So I've been sticking to it, but I just decided to do like, Hey, you know, we could do a little birthday thing. That's fine.

No. No. See, Matt took your birthday. Yeah. Your birthday is his now. Okay. Um, we'll figure it out. I should have asked, but I just assumed you were busy on your birthday.

Busy, busy, busy streaming. Or having a meal, but it's Wednesday for whatever reason. Because that's when we got reservations. Oh, I don't know what to do. I know. Just start at 10. Oh, you're so sweet. Oh, you're so, oh, it's adorable.

Okay. I didn't think Matt was going to fucking stream this week either. Yeah. What the fuck is that? He hasn't streamed in weeks. That, cause I needed to. All right. So I got to do one every so often now.

Or six. Sorry. Or six, not eight. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. Six, six. That'd be fine. Okay.

I think it's a really simple solution. Just care for two hours. Okay. You know, I honestly, I have, I have, I have had this situation. But to be fair, I've been told from everyone, like in person and rent, everyone don't care at all. And the only way to do it is to not see, here's the thing, right? But now, but now I'm learning care a bit.

So the, here's the thing, right? So let's, let's all, let's all be real here, right? I keep having the problem where I'll announce a fucking stream, right? And then I'll go like, cool. I'm going to start the stream, go to my channel to pull the chat up. Notice that Brennan started 10 minutes ago and like, shit. That's happened like four times. I feel really bad about it, but I can't feel that bad about it because I got, for people

that I host, I got Austin, I got Bunny, I got fucking, uh, Clems, I got plague. I, you know, I got all these people. If I never fucking stream at the same time as them, I will never fucking stream. Well, that's, that's, that's literally the whole thing in terms of just like, there's like our family and then there's the extended and then if you go, there's always someone that's going to go any later than 10 PM, guess what happens? Max is already on. So who the fuck is going to show up?

Yeah. Yeah. So just the idea of the reddest ocean has been terrifying for so long and you guys are about to scare me out. You're about to scare me out of the game. They tell me, yo, yo, uh, your, your streams and then go raid somebody, go raid Max. Max you don't need it. You're a fucking star.

You're the biggest star. So I raided fucking, what's his name? Um, uh, Brian, uh, Dechart and he mispronounced my name. Okay. I do like, I, you know, I like, I, I didn't jumped in. I'm about to fucking get scared away again. Like, you know, I said a couple of weeks ago, it's like, I need to actually like, that's the reason why I haven't streamed in a while.

Cause I'm too busy making other stuff. And just like, I feel bad, but I need to stream occasionally where we have like an idea and let's go, uh, uh, Pokemon. It's like, I have not touched that. And lots of people have been like, Oh, it'd be so fun to watch that. So the, the people that both advices are correct. Mine is care for an hour or two. Everybody else's don't give a fuck.

Right. See, it's different because the three of us, this competition's a little more awkward. You're right here. Right. We're here. We see each other. That's weird. Yeah.

Right. The external circle. Now fuck them. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Suck it. Uh, clamps too bad.

But, um, it's always up in that, but right. But you have over the past two weeks, just through sheer coincidence of window like critical misses on like one, one and then, and then my goddamn mother. Yeah. Like Dan, Dan, her name. Yeah. What's she do gave birth to me. Yeah.

On this day. You know what? You know what this all tells me? It's the will of our Lord. There you go. We'll figure it out. Figure it out. Anyway, so, uh, yeah, woolly versus is going to have a birthday stream of some kind.

We'll figure out the details, uh, near, um, also do it tonight at midnight. That counts. Max does not usually stream on Mondays. Mondays is usually the day off at midnight. I'm still making the podcast. So that's not going to work. But, um, Stream the podcast.

So we, uh, we, we are, You working on the podcast. Yeah. So, uh, what are we, what are we looking at? Yes. There's that. There's a lot going on actually. So there's that near automatic continues.

An episode came out today of the DLC. So that's happening as well. Um, uh, there's also going to be like the, the bloody palace archive, uh, or rather the, the highlights going up, uh, tomorrow or so. Um, still working on that, uh, the Kirby lore. So that's going to take a second. And. And I sent you that clip earlier today.

Yes. So fighter pedia will in fact continue as well. So things are really busy, uh, around, around the woolly stuff. And, um, I am going to this week put out episode zero of, uh, my podcast. Oh, I've heard about this. So. I've heard whispers. Yeah.

It's, it's, I kind of like, I had a, I had a bit of a breakdown and hit the record button. And, uh, that, and then. That sounds stable. Yeah. And that'll be going up. And I think I've picked a name and I think I've sorted things out. So please look forward to, uh, that happening later this week. Um, yeah.

Any other details with that? Not really. That you can reveal. Yeah. I guess due to crippling indecision and problems with like what to do and how to handle things on a lark, I decided to make the name woolly. We'll figure it out. That's the name of your pocket.

The name of the podcast is woolly. We'll figure it out. But what if you don't? We'll figure it out. Ah, that's what the habit of the Joe button podcast, I believe, or he named the Joe button podcast is that I'll fuck it. We'll think of a better name earlier and like hundreds of episodes later. It's still the Joe button.

Okay. That's great. So, uh, when in doubt, just use a word that is similar to your name. Yeah. It'll be your word. There you go. Well, he will. So there you go.

All right. Well, that's it for us. Uh, time to go get our bags. Yeah. New canvas bags that are on our way. But are they going to be influencing? Man, that's the word to get like an update like that of like, we're, hey, remember that story you guys talked about three hours ago where we're correcting it.

But we'll see if we actually did. You can really feel the influence through the canvas. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
