What's up guys? Welcome to episode 15 of The Kind of Funny Games cast.
You might be asking yourself, is this going to be the last episode 15?
Yes. Yes, it is. The first and last ever, episode 15 of the Kind of Funny Games cast.
I am Tim Geddies. This is Alfredo plays. You can find them on Twitch.tvist.
This is Andrew Renee. Coming back again.
What's up, guys?
Shit's going down.
You're officially a member of the Kind of Funny Team.
You use these fucking things to punch yourself in the face with him.
I do it all the time.
You probably know her from the internet.
Please, somebody make a gif of that.
Oh, don't worry.
It will happen.
It will definitely happen.
And rounding us out.
Very round.
We got one half of the coolest dudes in video games.
Greg Miller and Pertillo.
I had to do it.
Dead.
And no, it was worth it.
I look like he just looks like a disembodied head on my arm right there in the monitor.
I can't see that.
I know.
Don't worry about it.
That's good, though.
He's hitting yourself with the microphone.
It's this thing.
I know.
The pop filter goes everywhere.
It gets everywhere.
I blame Kevin for that.
Like the sand.
Like the sand from the Tungusky Raiders.
The Tungusky Raiders.
How can you forget them?
The Metacloreans and the Medi-Clorians.
It's like how everything's slightly off.
They're Tuscan Raiders, Greg.
Don't ever get that wrong again.
Okay, sorry, I apologize.
All right, so, you know, a lot of things have happened recently.
A lot of video games have come out.
A lot of games have been played.
Greg's been gone for a long time.
Yeah.
I feel like.
I mean, you've been back a little bit.
Do we do a gamescast with me yet, or is this my first gamescast?
This is the first gamescast we've done with you and
No, because we did the Chips A Hoy argument in the last one.
Was that game's catch?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Man.
People like that a lot.
People like that.
They don't like how serious you are.
I know how NPR you are.
I think it's fucking happened.
Whoa.
You know?
That's a good conversation.
We're not serious.
Thank you.
Thank you, Fred.
Do you remember the Chips of Hoy commercials where...
Chips are...
Bup, bu, ba, ba, blah, blah, blah.
I don't.
I don't.
What are your favorite cookies?
My favorite cookies?
Oh my God.
SoftBatch?
But I mean, like, like, like, bright.
and cookies.
Yeah.
Soft batch?
Yeah, they're Kebler, aren't they?
Oh, okay.
The ones in the red package?
So, Kebler.
No, those are the S-chips-ahoy.
Keebler also.
No.
And they're the red ones
with the fire ants and the hot action?
I'm pretty sure they're Kebler, but I'll check.
Shout out to Mitt Milanos.
Mitt Milanos.
R.R.P.
Ben, what are those, what they're called?
I do, I do love some thin miss.
No, the fields.
Yeah.
The fields?
The ones that come in the, like the sossilitos and the.
What?
Oh, Pepperidge Farm.
Pepperage Farm remembers.
The Mems.
Danos.
Did those have commercials?
These ones, yeah, Kuehler.
See?
Whoa.
Yeah, okay.
Softbass, Keebler.
And now did you just ask,
did Peppurch Farm have commercials?
Yeah.
Petrich Farm had the best commercials.
Don't remember.
They're not that memorable.
They're fucking.
There's a family guy joke
and a Reddit meme about it.
Really?
Yeah, I'll Google you one here.
You're going to go one here.
The best commercials.
Because they were all.
Like a rock.
Oh, like a rock.
Look at me.
Rock a rock.
Well, guys, this is the kind of funny games cast.
It doesn't make sense, and it never will.
Talking about cooking.
Talking about cooking.
But if you guys didn't know, this is a show that's on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games.
Remember making toast in a gizmo like this?
Maybe you remember grandma toasting homemade raisin bread and load of crump raisins.
Squirreled with cinnamon.
That's sweet.
This isn't even about cookies.
Pepperidge Fah remembers.
You see, they used to make bread.
What?
That's what people knew them for.
Oh shit.
You like that?
Yeah.
Oh, my guy, look at that hat.
Yeah, it's like fucking.
He looks like Colonel Sanders.
He's Orville Redenbacher meets Colonel Sanders.
Do you remember these commercials?
Yeah, kind of.
Because I didn't remember that the Pepper's Farm remembers.
But you do remember the Chips of Hoy commercial.
They had one commercial.
They ran for like 12 years.
Forever. Why did that play for so long?
It was good.
It damn worked.
When I heard Big Band music, I thought of cookies.
It worked.
Okay, YouTube.com slash Kind of Funny Games every Monday through Thursday.
Thursday, broken out topic by topic every Friday.
You get the full episode there or over on iTunes and all the other places.
If you want it early Patreon.com slash Kind of Funny Games, that's cool.
But the coolest part that you might not know is if you pay even a dollar.
Even a dollar.
Actually, I think it's even less.
Can you do less than a dollar on Patreon?
Well, you do it.
You can, but we don't reward that.
Oh, okay.
Do you give us 90 cents?
Thank you.
At least a dollar that's you are the exclusive episode every month.
And those have been really good.
Yeah.
They're worth a dollar.
Yeah.
They're definitely worth a lot.
We found out of the kind of funny Patreon.
we discovered you were the, you're the unsung hero.
On the page?
Oh yeah, you're right, right.
I didn't accept it.
It's too late.
I gave it to you.
That is how titles work.
Nope.
Someone gives them to you.
You can't unexc-it.
No.
Guys.
Yes.
Oh, it's not even the right song.
It is.
Oh, I remember this.
Oh, look, it's just a balloon with text on it floating around chocolate chips.
Like, what the shit were people thinking?
There was other ones, though.
There was definitely
There was one in a ballroom
Yeah
They just kept that song
They like found
Do you know the name of that song?
Not worked the audio
Chips A Hoy
I think it's called
Sing Sing Sing
I could be wrong
Do anybody ask Terry?
Is it?
Yeah
Nobody cares for band nerds
We know shit
This is like
That was a new
That's a new one
Are we still talking about Chips A Hoy?
Yeah
Yeah
This is why they
This is the Chips of Hoy
commercial as well
Don't remember this one.
It's old.
It's got like computer stuff, so it's not.
Oh, that's when they lost it.
They tried to get too fancy with it.
They tried to our computer chips.
Was that they were going for?
I don't think that's what they were going for, but it's possible.
Oh, here we go.
Here we go.
This looks like it.
Chips, oh, wait.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's, there goes.
That's what we all remember.
With the dancing exclamation point.
That's what we grew up on, everybody.
Every time I watch Pearl Harbor or Captain America, this is what I'm taking back to whenever they're out ballroom dancing.
I want to fucking kick the hoie right now.
All right, guys, the first topic for today that has to do with video games is, what are you playing right now?
We've done this before.
We did it with Colin and he gave us the answer.
We did it with Nick, too.
It was Colin and Nick on that one.
And Nick was talking about dying light.
So it was a while ago.
That and Axi and Verge.
It was an Axi and Verge.
The two games, yeah, yeah.
He got into Axi and Verge though.
He's waiting.
So I'm to speak for Nick Scarpino right now and say that he's playing Axioreg because he's still playing it.
Yeah.
He beat it.
He loved it.
He wants 100%.
He's like 100%.
How far are you, Nick?
75% of the items, 95% of the map.
Hmm.
That's pretty good.
How many hours you put into it?
25.
Damn.
Nick Scarfito put 25 hours into a game.
That means...
Yeah.
Well, he also really likes the opening theme song.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
What does it sound like?
It sounds real.
Nick, can you come here?
Nick, can you come here?
Gave me.
Nailed it.
Okay, fine.
Ship it.
So I played Oxenridge for a little while.
All the games that I'm talking about right now,
I've only played the opening like 10 minutes too.
So I went that...
How do you just play 10 minutes of a game?
It's been interesting.
There's just so many good 3DS games from the player.
Yeah, it's just so busy.
We're not getting back into that.
I got my teammate here, Greg.
So we're good.
Yosh's in the World, son.
Yeah, I'm excited for Yoshi's Worldier World.
Who is?
Yeah.
Yarn Amivo.
Come on.
Kel's a pug-ass bitch.
I've been playing, I played a little bit of Axiom Verge.
You got me Bastion codes.
So I play a little bit of Bastion.
Both those games, I'm like, these are fucking awesome.
I'm all about this.
Wait, had you not played Bastion before?
No.
Oh, what?
I know.
It's so cool, though.
Like, the concept of it and, like, how it, everything about that game is like,
the kid fell off the year.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's great.
And then I had a copy of Tomb Raider, the remastered one.
I've never played a definitive edition.
Nice.
I started, I popped it in.
I was like, I really like this.
It's a little extreme.
I played about an hour.
of it. Her deaths are extreme.
Oh yeah, her deaths are very gruesome.
Very gruesome. And it's just like, it's a very intense
opening to a game. And I was like, wow,
this is very, uh,
not what I expected, but I'm liking it.
What did you expect? Nude codes?
Yeah, that's all I wanted. That's all you knew from two minutes.
I wanted more pointiness. I was a little let down
on the point of this back. Oh, man. These graphics
have come too far. Yeah, exactly. It's a little
excited. But I feel like
the sound effects are what's
catching me off. Well, first off,
the PS4 microphone,
needs to shut the fuck up.
Oh, the controller?
Yeah.
You can turn it off, so I did.
Yeah.
Because it's just like, you're walking through puddles, and it's like, splash, splash.
It's like, why are you so intense right now?
Like, that should be like a splash at best.
But, yeah, it's a little too much for me to handle.
But it's like every single thing she does is the most, like, overtly, like, loud noise ever.
It's like, she walks into a rock.
She's like, ugh.
You never walk into a rock.
Yeah, it's bad.
I mean, I really like that game, but one of my biggest criticisms of it was that they just
make her seem like she's orgasmine all the time.
Yeah.
Which, I mean, that's not my biggest criticism of it,
but it definitely feels weird.
Yeah, I just have the Pokemon video stuck in my head now.
You splash, magic card splash, splash, flash.
Oh, that was good.
Yeah.
I miss that.
That's a whole school shit.
What are you playing now, Prater?
A shit ton of stuff.
I finished Bloodborn.
Beat the whole game.
You loved it.
I loved it.
I loved it.
Were you expecting to?
Were you a demon-souls, Dark Souls?
I was scared out of my mind.
I've never played any soul games before.
So I was like, this is going to kick my ass.
I'm going to be doing this live.
but I beat it 17 bosses deep
so that was fun it was like 30 hours
I've been going back since I got a PlayStation 4
I played the last of us
nice love that game
I did uncharted the first one
over the past weekend I got two and three lined up
now now what's interesting is you did it off PlayStation
now I did how was that
the game streamed beautifully
but there was a dead zones on the analog
sticks so okay what does that mean
so that means like uh so
this is
this is the analog stick right
You just move it one way.
It's like you start, it's just like it starts functioning.
The thing is the dead zone is just like if you move it like this, there's no response.
You got to go hard.
All the way around now.
You have to swing it hard.
If you're listening to MP3, he's moving around a giant ginseng honey tea, green tea here.
Arizona.
Arizona.
Yeah.
So you like, you really have to move the analog.
So it made it really difficult to like line up headshots or stuff like that.
I'm going to go play two and three.
Also, I played PT.
Fuck that game.
Did you get through it?
Did you have the chance?
That is the most frightening hallway I've ever experienced in my life.
Did you do the whole thing where you talked?
You talked in the microphone?
Yeah, it was, oh.
Did you play it?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I loved it.
No, you couldn't pay me to play that game.
Really?
Okay, you maybe could pay me to play that game.
Get the Patriots here up.
I would not play that on my own volition.
I would, I afraid about a good idea for us to do let's play.
It's like a whole week of us playing through PT, so it's all five of us individually doing it.
Oh, sure.
I like that.
Yeah, I played it right after.
a week or two after it came out, maybe a month.
But yeah, I streamed.
It's cool.
It's scary.
But the game that's my new jam that I'm just streaming every day is Battle Royale, H1Z1.
It's so good.
You know what has H1Z1 train for a while.
It's just everything that I wanted out of day Z.
But essentially, there's like 150 people that drops everyone.
Everyone parachutes into this large open world.
Everyone scrambles for weapons, backpack, stuff like that, ammo.
and then it's the last man standing.
So people start shooting each other.
It's a cool idea.
Yeah.
And eventually there's a,
there's a,
there's a,
you have a map and there's a green circle,
and that's the safe zone.
So it's the hunger games.
Exactly.
It's hunger games.
But you get all these.
No,
it's battle royale.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.
But you get all these random encounters.
Wait,
are you speaking English?
What do you mean?
In the game.
Do you speak English?
I speak English.
So there you go.
I hate you so much.
It is hunger games.
No, but there's so many,
there's so many,
So there's like proximity chat and there's so many random things that happen all the time.
Like I was with this one dude that didn't, he, it was Korean, didn't speak any English.
And all of a sudden, like his three friends.
So it is battle.
Battle games.
All of a sudden I got out.
He checked the driver's seat and I got in.
And like he met up with like his three other friends.
And all of a sudden I was in a triad gang at that point.
And they just kept rolling up to people.
They popped out like four of them to start shooting, killing.
people now so you're working with other people knowing there can be only one uh yeah so i mean
that's the thing right it's like if you have a team you're stronger until like the final it's like
how's that going to go down anyone can turn it on how long do the games last for usually i mean anywhere
from i mean depends if you die right away but i've gotten first like three times like 45 minutes or
that's really cool that's really cool idea yeah you got some ridiculous stories in that yeah there's
some people like the one guy was rushing and then he didn't really like me and then eventually
turned to a love story because i kept singing to him like uh
Mariah Carey and Clayakin.
Yeah, of course.
Invisible.
Clayakin still has responded to our tweets.
That's upsetting.
He's busy running for office.
That's so weird.
It's a good rendition if I do say something.
Yeah, it is.
What about you?
I've played a couple different things.
I've been playing Ori in the Blind Forest,
which I love.
I hate love, I mean.
I'd love to hate it.
Oh, yeah.
hate to love it. It's really
great. I've also been playing
the pre-sequel, Borderlands, the pre-sequel
on the Hanson Collection. We played this weekend.
And then I've also been playing
the new Evolve DLC
with the new hunters
and the new monster. Have you been on that?
That hype? I haven't touched it yet.
I've been busy filling out my
backlog of my catalog of
PlayStation games. Yeah, I have a pile
of shame that I'm going to try to go through.
A pile of shame, I like that. But now, have you
never heard of that?
No.
You guys don't have a pile of shame?
Well, we do, but I didn't refer to it as a pile of shame.
Oh, yeah.
It's like games that are like stacked in a pile and you're shamefully haven't played
them yet.
Yes.
So I have some that I have to work on, but moral combat comes out next week.
So.
And you were a big Mortal Kombat fan.
Oh, yeah.
Which is interesting.
Why?
I feel like those aren't things that exist.
Big Moral Combat fans?
No.
What?
That's weird.
Are you out of your mind?
In the fighting game, echelon, it's like, street fighter or Mortal Kombat?
No.
If you walk into a room.
There's still a large group of people who like more of combat.
Don't get me wrong.
I understand that there's fans.
I'm just saying it's just like, I don't think that anyone's going to be like,
I'm, you're excited for World Kombat for right now and then you're never going to care about it again.
Until they announce another one and reveal each character that you know it's going to be in any.
So what you're saying is that they aren't doing an adequate job of putting out filler content like Street Fighter does in between 10 pole street fighter releases.
Well, I mean, yeah.
So we need Mortal Kombat 9, Ultra Adidas.
Edition HD 2.0.
That's exactly what was necessary.
Yeah.
Just want to make sure we roll to the stage too.
To be fair, I'm not a fighting game guy.
I just like casual games.
Well, I mean, they announce that in Moral Combat is going to be part of ESL, which is great.
So I'm...
Elder Scrolls Living.
Exactly.
The electronic sports league.
I think this was stands for.
It's one of the e-sports.
E-sports, bro.
E-sports league?
E-sports.
I should know with that.
Let me look that up.
We all should.
It doesn't matter.
We don't.
Because the e-sports don't matter.
Regardless, I'm excited for that game.
I've been a Mortal Kombat fan for a while.
Okay, so what are you excited about for it?
The story?
The new story mode looks really, really awesome.
Cool.
I know Hunter Pence, big fan of Mortal Kombat.
He's like super fucking excited.
Kind of funny thing.
Mm-hmm.
Mortal Kombat fan.
He's been on the show.
So, two are you, you can have a great time.
Me and Hunter, we can play together.
Destin, Dustin likes Mortal Kombat, right?
Yeah.
Vince.
Vince hates it.
Hates it.
Vince doesn't like it.
Vince doesn't like it.
He's a fighter.
He had a whole rant about the characters.
I don't know.
He just doesn't like the poppet circumstance, I think.
God damn it.
This is going to be a problem.
What the pop?
No, we both just keep making the exact same noises.
Yeah.
It happens.
Oh, Greg.
Yeah.
What are you playing?
Tons of Borderlands of pre-sequel.
I'm all in.
I'm invested.
I'm in love with it.
I mean, I have plenty of problems with it.
But I'm in love with it.
You know what I mean?
It's one of those games where it's all I want to play.
It came along just when I needed it, Tim, where I wanted a game to play in just checkboxes, finish quests, get the nice bright green turn in.
Yep, that's exactly what I want to go do.
You know what I mean?
I've been looking for, I've been on the road a lot lately, right?
So, like, with DeVita, I really, really want.
On the road.
Thank you, thank you very much.
I've been looking, you know, wanting a Western RPG.
I don't want JRP.
I don't want turn-based.
I want like this thing that's just out there doing it.
You want FPS RPG?
Yeah, Gunsurker.
It's a lot of letters.
So it's like, I hadn't had it.
add that, right? And right before I left, Bloodbourne came
out, right before I went on vacation. So I played for like
15, 20 minutes of it, liked what it was.
I'm like, I want to play this when I get back.
But even then, I wanted like the literal
checklist, you know what I mean, doing this, seeing
the progression, assigning skill points,
doing all these different things. And so when I got back
in Borderlands with that, that's all it's been. How do you like it on the PS4?
Great. Yeah, it works really,
really well. It's nice to have the PlayStation 4
controller. It's nice to have Borderlands
and Super HD or whatever the hell you want to call it.
The suspend mode is nice. I hadn't,
they just put out the new firmware for PlayStation 4.
So the ability to pop out, put it in a rest mode, and then come back in.
I turned it, I turned on, Christine and I are playing together.
We've been doing split screen for a while, but that was wearing on me because, you know,
my eyes have seen what borderline should look like, you know what I mean?
So eventually we broke it into two monitors in the bedroom, and I turned on her system.
It wasn't even, you're reaching.
You're reaching for that one.
You're reaching.
You did the whole, like, sexual innuendo, two monitors in the bedroom.
What does that mean?
Hey, it could happen anywhere anytime, Greg.
What the hell is that mean?
Anyways.
I turned her system back on
And she had put hers in rest mode
And then it had like the little spinning thing
On board on it's like what is that
And I clicked X on it and it just
Fired up right to where I left off
Like no loading it was in pure suspend mode
I was like that's awesome
I need to start doing technology
It's here
That shit crazy
I mean the Vita you know pioneered that
But nobody no big deal
The Unsung Hero the Vita
Yeah exactly
Yeah
It's Bass Liber
Yeah I started that
It does have a vast library
You motherfucker
Then I started bastion on PS4 again
Great love it
sowing to it, it is totally, though, like,
and they, when I got my code from Super Giant,
they did the whole wiki, like, we're still working on the Vita version.
Don't worry, because, like, that's a game I feel is perfect on the Vita.
Like, that's all I would play on this trip to Missouri tomorrow,
if that's what I had.
I want Ori on the Vita.
Yeah.
I want that so, I know, but I want it.
I wanted, I wanted so bad.
It would be really great.
That game, we did a let's play on it, like, a couple weeks ago,
and I was just like, fuck, this looks so cool.
Like, calling it, Nick did the first 15 minutes.
I want to play that game.
How have you not played it?
Because I don't have an Xbox.
Yeah, and it's on PC, but like...
That's not...
I know I'm sure getting it would be easy
and putting a controller and being fine,
but it's just like, as a console gamer,
the idea of that, I'm like, ah.
No, thank you.
It's one of those...
You talk about, like, when we argue about the Vita 3DS,
who is the better library,
and you want to talk about a bad library.
It's PC, right there in the basement.
Oh, yeah.
No experience.
You guys need...
No games at all, really.
...seem and gave in into your lives,
and it would be much better.
Steam is amazing.
It's awesome to have your, everything there.
For the...
you know, like a city skyline.
Crap.
There's another, oh, Marvel Heroes.
Like, having them all just there ready to go.
I love having them on the laptop.
The origin laptop went.
Yeah.
It's just nice to have them ready to go.
But, like.
And Mount your friends.
There's something.
There's something.
Have you played, not your friends?
I don't think I have now.
Do you know what it is?
Maybe.
It's this amazing game where there's a goat and you're just chilling there.
And then you're like these like dudes with just like limbs.
No, I definitely have not played this.
The limbs.
Like, you need to climb on the goat.
A throat and it's a goat.
You haven't even talked about the penis physics.
Well, there's penis physics.
Oh, Jesus.
You don't see the penises.
They're on banana hammocks.
And they're spinning around.
And then you need to, like, climb on top of each other.
They're spinning penises and banana hammocks.
It doesn't make much sense, but we suspended disbelief.
We have a less play coming out this week, so it should be...
It's an old game.
Like, we're really late to this, but you introduced it to my life.
I'm really happy you did.
We need to do gangbeasts now.
Yeah, gangbees.
Gangbees I've known about for a while.
I'm just waiting for...
Console version.
Exactly.
Because, again, I know it's easy, but the idea of dragging everything out there and syncing controllers,
the controllers barely synced to other things, let alone to PCs.
Just got to accept gaming into your life, man.
I do.
I like gaming on the PC just fine.
I just prefer a controller, and I prefer the easy, booting it up and having it go.
Makes sense.
I'm just lazy.
You've seen how hard it is for us to do anything around here.
I hope you understand how lazy I am.
Brato, what games are you going to be playing coming up?
on your streams and all that.
Coming up,
Witcher.
But,
well,
I'm coming up like,
now.
That's like a full month away.
Oh,
like now?
Yeah.
Uncharted 2 and 3.
Yeah.
I'm going to do that.
Good choices.
That's on my list.
Besides that,
I don't know.
I never really thought that far.
Okay.
It's kind of winging it.
Fair enough.
What about you?
What are you looking for?
Me?
Yeah.
I don't even know.
For me,
this is the first time in a while.
It's true.
He doesn't.
He plays 10 minutes of a game.
He gets so excited.
He's the expert on library.
for handheld systems.
I am.
Without having any knowledge of the other.
I have the vast amount of games.
The other universe.
This is the first time in a long time.
I feel like I'm satiated.
I feel like it for a while I've had that like
clawing behind my eyes of my
spirit just not being happy
and wanting to get out and play
something specific.
And Borderlands for right now is hitting the mark.
You know what I mean?
To the point of where I was debating
bringing my PlayStation 4 to Missouri.
Because I'm only gone two nights.
I have friends to see there.
probably not going to play that many, but to have the option.
I just want the option.
Don't pull a Destin.
What Destin did, we had the, what did at the, what did I jam at that company retreat,
and then Destin brought his PlayStation for, like, the one night,
and everyone was out drinking, and he was in his hotel room during the nightfall,
and I was like.
But, like, the other thing, too, is I was, and we had Anthony Carboney on Colin and Greg Live
and the Game Over Gregory Show.
And on Collander Live, he was talking about how he got this hoary screen,
that way he could, you know, the little one he could carry with him
and play his games on the road or whatever.
And I was tweeting about that over the weekend.
And then the games people, that's like I said.
Games, yeah.
The games case, yeah.
Well, they have that new screen that's like the size of a tablet that's just powered off of USB and it's right there.
That sounded really good because then the guy, then other fans were chiming in saying like, oh, I use it all time.
And one guy put up photos of him on a Virgin America flight, PS4 plugged in, and then the PS4 charging the screen.
So he's just playing his console.
I was like, damn.
I mean, that's pretty awesome.
What do you play the PS4 into?
And Virgin they have in-state.
Yeah, power off.
Persian thinks of everything.
And then I was thinking about I could probably trick the company into buying the screen
because me and Kevin were talking that we need a third screen in here.
That way we don't need the two months.
We just have one monitor, you know, you don't have to worry about it.
It's got its own head phone out.
So we wouldn't have to worry about how it always is where I can't hear anything.
Kevin approves this purchase.
He does.
I'm doing it.
Oh, guys, Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin Edition comes out.
I forgot about that.
I'm looking at the releases.
Yeah, and Zeno Blake Chronicles 3D.
out this month too. So you have that till the
The Bass Library. It's happening, Greg.
Thank you. It grows. You do need to have the new 3DS
Excel to play that though. So...
Which is weird. The box art looks hideous.
Persona for dancing all night is my answer.
Dancing all night. Yeah, that's what you got.
It's coming up. The big thing though is like I got Borderlands
right now, right? And then
later this month, state of decay one year later.
Then next month, Witcher 3.
Then that'll keep me going for basically
ever. June, Batman.
Then we get to August. We're all going to play as
your solid ground zeros to prepare for
phantom pain is a like that i like that a lot we're in
what i like to call easy street everybody easy street i like that are you not going to
dip into tamriel unlimited on ps4 double dip
june i for a long time had wanted to and i played a little bit of it on pc and i liked
what i played and it was another thing i'm going to wait for ps4 or whatever and now
that it's finally here incredibly late no probably not because i'll be lost by that time
if i want that kind of game i'll be so invested in the witcher right like i'm not playing
the old scrolls online
because I want like the fucking fantasy of it.
I like, you know, I want,
or wait, don't know, because I want to play with other people.
I want the fucking fantasy of it and running around and having quests, knocking them out.
If I'm already 20 hours, 30 hours, 40 hours into the Witcher 3,
well, there you go.
That's all I'm going to do.
Because I got Wilds to hunt.
What?
I got Wilds to hunt.
Oh.
Wilds.
Got it.
See, that's the name.
Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.
Damn.
Damn.
Actually, they took the three out of the name.
Witcher Wild Hunt.
It's called the Witcher Wild Hunt.
called The Witcher Wild Hunt.
It is not.
Yeah, it is.
The Witcher, the Wild Hunt.
I asked their marketing team about this, and I was like, so when did you guys change
the name?
They're like, oh, we just decided it.
We just did it.
They just literally just did it.
You can still look up the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, but like if you look at the marketing
promotional materials now and the new Box Art, it's the Witcher Wild Hunt.
Just change kind of funny to mildly entertaining.
Yeah, don't bring mention to it.
Yeah, I don't know why they would do that.
They must make maybe something to do with the series overall.
Yeah.
line.
Well, I think it's because so many people didn't play one and two,
so they don't want to scare off people into playing this one.
I mean, that's such a weird decision to make this far into the marketing campaign, though.
Well, they probably got a lot of, you know, responses.
Because, I mean, if you listen to anyone's video talking about it, it usually is,
I didn't play the first two, but this one looks really good.
Yeah.
It's too late.
The damage is done.
There's still Wish of 3 all over the internet.
Yeah, right.
You just put up the first 15 minutes take called it Wishar 3 Wild Hunt.
Yeah.
The Wikipedia page hasn't been updated.
I actually did put out again.
All the time they failed.
It's over.
I played a lot of games this weekend because I was looking at my PS3 and I had to, because
we were talking about PSN accounts and if it like goes back to your old games or whatever.
And so I have two accounts on one system and half my downloaded games are on one and half
for the other.
It's like, God, this is the worst.
But I was just like, I'm going to play a little bit of this.
So I played Tony Hawk, the remastered or whatever the hell was called, HD version.
I played that for a couple hours.
And then I played, do you remember Payne?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I played that for way too long
I don't know why it booted it up
It's like it's the game where you shoot yourself out of a giant slingshot
And like damage your body
I like how when you want to explain a game
To someone you turn to Kevin
Well can you like make eye contact
You're actually explaining it to them
Yeah yeah yeah and uh yeah I definitely played that for way too long
But it's it is fun
Pain pain was my good one I remember
Because that was like one of the
I guess like it was a downloadable title they'd promoted
You know coming to PlayStation Network for a long time
And so when it came out
people were interested at that IGN and so
I was still PlayStation team obviously I was a young
buck on the PlayStation team so I covered it a lot
and it seemed like everything
I covered about it would be that it was broken
that it was this was down or this wasn't working
or this was for free it's like when I finally met
Travis who was the producer on it like
he was like he did one of these
like he's a big dude he's like Greg Miller
the guy who finds everything
broken with pain who had 30
seconds of it going on then we became
fast friends there you go that's what happens
you don't have friends you have family Greg
That's true.
Speaking to that, topic two,
Oh, wow.
Licensed games.
That's good,
yeah, that was good.
Wasn't that good?
Yeah.
So the reason we're talking about this is the Fast and the Furious.
Last week, at this point,
it'll probably be two weeks ago when you're listening to this.
Forza Horizon 2 had the Fast and Furious DLC thing that came out.
It was free.
You can get it for two weeks for free,
and then it's $10 to download.
I think this is a great use of licensed DLC.
Yeah.
There was so much promotion for this,
promoting the movie and the game and stuff.
And like, it was fun.
And it was standalone.
It was standalone.
You don't even need the game.
It was just a lot of fun.
And it's a short little, like, two-hour thing.
And, you know, it could have been better, definitely.
Could have had a little bit more integrations from the actual movie and stuff.
I mean, I want, like, I want a Fast and Furious game.
You know, this was just kind of a car game.
Yeah, okay.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Duh.
But, uh, this is cool.
It just, it definitely felt like it was Forza, but with, like, Fast and Furious.
Furious references instead of it just being an actual fast and furious thing, which is what it is what it is what is you guys favorite licensed games?
And like it gets hard because like no.
Lego the Hobbit.
Really?
Oh.
All the Lego games in general.
Maybe not my favorite of all time.
I have to think of it, but off the top of my head.
That was really well done.
And they used all the VO from the movie and like all the scenes from the movie and well not all of them but things like iconic moments that you remember it if you watched the movie and then played it was really good.
everyone's looking at their phones now
I was looking at the time
I've had things happening today
and I'm communicating with Colin
who is far
um so that was one of my favorites
in recent memory
that was really well done in my opinion
did you play it did you play anybody
I didn't play like a Hobbit
I'm not a Hobbit fan
I feel Lego games
fall in the same thing as Telltale games
and I think Telltale gets
around here
one with Colin and always be like
I hate the telltale games
are always the same thing
it's the same structure
so he and I have very similar
You do.
But the problem I always talk to Colin is about that, like, the telltale franchises are using, you know, Borderlands or Game of Thrones or Walking Dead.
I don't think they make them expecting everyone to play everything, whereas, like, they're making something for, like, Game of Thrones fans or something for Walking Dead fans.
So, like, it's so, it's clear as day to us.
It's the same thing.
But, like, there's a few people who might be compelled to play all Telltale games like we do, if that makes sense on the outside.
I mean, I wouldn't look at Telltale games as a licensed product that's promoting another product like the Forth's a Horizon 2 thing.
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm just saying, like, Lego games for me are the same way of I love Lego games,
but those are the opposite of TelTow, where TelTelow, I'll play everything because I love Telltale.
Lego games, I'll play the Lego games that speak to me.
So, like, when Lego Hobbit came out of it, I was like, now.
But then, like, DC, I flattened them, every one of them and play the hell out of them.
So that kind of thing.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yeah, see, the thing gets hard, because with the license games, like, what she just said about it being made to promote something else, that really limits it.
That really limits it because, like, Arkham, obviously the Arkham games are great.
Yeah, those are licensed technically.
Yeah.
So that almost feels like it's cheating
But back in the day it wasn't
Like Spider-Man on the PS-1
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game
When the Amazing Spider-Man 2 came out
Well no, not Amazing Spider-Man
That's the Spider-Man.
Oh, it's true, good thing
Spider-Man 2 was Tobey McWater
Yeah
No, I'm talking about the Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game
On PS4?
I don't think it was on the new
Well, maybe it was
You're thinking of Spider-Man 2
If you're thinking of anything
Where the kid with the balloon went away
And you're stopping carjacks
And everybody loved it?
No, this game just came out
Yeah, it is the amazing Spider-Man too.
Yeah.
It sucked.
When Activision published?
Oh, yeah, it sucked hard.
Well, they published all of Spider-Man forever.
Yeah, because they own the license.
But, like, that is an example of a game that could have been really incredible, but like.
No, 100%.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, ones that are really incredible, Spider-Man 2.
Yeah, well.
At the time.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Sure.
I mean, I mean, Spider-Man won, not the movie one, but the PS-1 one.
Yeah.
It's on PS-1 and 64, right?
No, Spider-Man 2 was on PS2.
I remember it as a PS2 game.
I'm now jumping off of that.
Okay.
The original Spider-Man.
The PS-1, the one I have up there underneath the shoes.
Yes, that one.
That one, that was amazing.
Yeah, that was a great.
And I feel like that was a different take because, like, that was when it was, it was a licensed game because there wasn't like superhero things left and right.
Sure, sure.
So that was like an amazing experience of Holy Shit of Spider-Man.
Yeah.
And it's the Tony Hawk engine, so it feels right.
It was good.
Right.
I really like that.
Just like Spider-Man and Sega games.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's another great spot.
Okay, going back to that generation, then there was a ton of fun.
Fucking everywhere.
Yeah.
Everywhere.
There's a license.
Ghostbusters.
Duck tails.
All the Disney shit.
Yeah.
Aladdin, Lion King.
Yep.
Which honestly, don't hold up as well as you'd think they do.
Really?
Very floaty.
There's only one license game I cared about.
Xbox 360.
Sneak King.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Sneak King.
Yeah.
What was the Kart?
What was the Kart one?
I forgot.
There was Sneak King.
There was a heart racer.
Yeah.
There was one of them.
one. A bike game, right?
Maybe when I say card, I actually
meant bike. Oh, okay. Did you guys play Transformers
Dark at the Moon? No.
I went with the movie? I took, I took,
oh, was it the movie? Don't you remember the movie?
No, I stopped watching the movies because they were so terrible.
But I remember the one, the guys who did the
born conspiracy game, they did the
transformer, they picked up the Transformers license.
And it was really good the first time. People didn't like it.
High Moon Studios. High Moon did a good job. They didn't do the most
recent one though.
Or Cybertron?
No, it went from, there was war for Cybertron and then fall of Cybertron, and then there's Dark of the Moon.
Both of which were good. Yeah, they were great. And the Dark of the Moon was, I'm assuming not good, but that was a license one.
It was okay. And then there was one more that tried to combine both those worlds, and it's just like, stop, guys, just fucking stop.
Yeah.
And it hurt me. It was Battle for the All's, I don't know, who knows? Who knows?
Greg, which ones do you like?
Well, I think at the nexus of everything we're talking about
Where it's promoting something, but it was also a great game, is none other
Than X-Men Origins Wolverine, Raven Studios,
Who then got locked in a Call of Duty Dungeon, never to be released again.
This was a game where, like, the story made no sense,
It was a tie-in-to-a-tallel movie,
Like, some of the boss battles weren't...
But everyone loved the fucking game, because you were Wolverine,
and you're getting shot, and your skeletons getting revealed,
and you just, like, they got the M rating
so there could be blood, and you're just tearing
dudes apart, and jump it's gonna be, and I was like,
yes, this game is fucking awesome,
except for the fact that it's not that great.
And there was, like, that was that weird thing
of, like, all these emotions, like,
oh, I love just tearing dudes apart, and now I gotta fight
the blob for some reason in this really bad boss battle,
but now I'm tearing, now there's a bunch of robots.
I just want this level to end, but there's more robots.
There's always more robots.
But you're unlocking classic wolvie suits,
you're, you know, getting us, so good.
And there'd be like, you'd be in the suit
and you'd get bluepets,
and you get blown apart,
but then you'd heal back
with the suit wouldn't heal back.
You're like, oh, my God,
please make this forever.
And Activision said, no.
Raving away forever.
He's made ten more Spider-Man games.
How many fucking Spider-Man games
were on the PS3?
A lot.
And what's sad about it is that
it was Beanox who did it.
And Beanox gets,
I stand by this to this day,
gets Spider-Man,
made an amazing Spider-Man game,
could continue to make more amazing Spider-Man games
if Activision hadn't been Activision
about it.
And I love Activision.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm not sure.
They are who they are,
blah, but like, it all comes back to when they bought Sierra's catalog and didn't pick up Ghostbusters.
And they said, we want games that are annualizable.
And that should tell you everything you didn't know about Activision's business model.
They want to make money and great for them.
But, you know, they get Binox, and Binox makes shattered dimensions, right?
And it's a really cool Spider-Man game everybody loves.
It's like, oh, this is really fun.
This is great.
Like, I can't wait to see what they do next.
And next is Edge of Time, which had a shorter turnaround.
It's like, ooh, like, this one missed the mark, but I'd love to see you guys do an open world.
Like, oh, here's the amazing Spider-Man, the movie video game.
What did Web of Shadows hit?
Was that before this?
That was before all this.
This wasn't Beanox.
And that one is, it's diversive, it turns out, or whatever.
Divisive, it turns out.
Divisive.
Divisive.
Is that how you pronounce it?
I think so.
Okay.
I would say divisive.
Divisive.
That one puts everybody on...
Potato potato.
Whatever.
Other sides of the line.
Anyway, I did not like that.
I did not like that game, but like Javi Rodriguez loves it.
And he's a big time Spider-Man fan, so whatever.
There's something for it.
But Beanox had something, it seemed like they had a great idea.
with Shattered Dimensions.
They're like, holy shit, this is a great story.
It's fun.
It's cool.
It's all these different Spider-Man.
Edge of Time did not deliver at all.
Then they finally give them the open world of Amazing Spider-Man.
And, like, the combat system was fun, flying through, you know, because there was so much
verticality and attacking from the air and stuff.
But that didn't work.
And it's like, well, maybe they'll get it right.
And then somehow Amazing Spider-Man too was worse.
And then the wheels fell off, Disney bought Marvel.
And it's like, I don't think you're ever going to see, you know, that was the whole thing.
Yeah.
It was, like, Major Nelson had, or, no, it was Dan Amric still from Activision being like, hey,
all of our Marvel games are coming off services on Tuesday
so buy them now if you want them
people like why he's like contracts end
and it's like that's kind of your tell tell sign that
something's changing there yeah
but that could be exciting right
somebody could potentially be taking up the
reins I mean as a as a license game
fan when it's done well I just
don't understand how people don't look at Batman
and aren't like well fuck let's do that
every time let's never put out another
movie tying game it hits to the
matrix da put something out where people can build a
universe to where the fourth game now in the series is going to be this gigantic, gigantic thing.
You know what I mean?
Like, do that with Spider-Man, do that with Spider-Man, do that with Incredible Hulk,
whoever you want, just let them go, give developers time, don't try to force it, don't try
to, you know, you can't get that to every superhero, though.
I mean, I think Batman is maybe an exception to the rule.
I mean, the word Batman was the most searched, like, superhero of all superheroes on
YouTube?
Like, how many other superheroes have that pull?
Avengers, you know.
Superman?
Not all of the Avengers, though.
I'm saying if you put it as Avengers,
if you made an Avengers game.
There was an Avengers game.
It was pretty bad.
Yeah, there was one that was that first person
when they released footage out that never made it,
and it's just got killed,
you know what I mean?
Like, I think there are these examples of,
just like the movies, right?
That's like jumping back seven years.
Like, Ant Man, you can never put an Ant Man movie out.
If you make the right choices, right,
and you build a little momentum and get it going,
that could be the changeover.
Yeah.
I think.
I would like that.
I just want good superheroes.
Yeah.
Portoilla does.
He agrees.
knows all about that.
All right, guys.
Topic number three.
That was it?
You got nothing else?
That's it.
No more license games.
No more, no more license games.
Did you got any more?
Huh?
Do you got any more?
No.
I mean, I was saying, I thought maybe you.
What I would have to do?
Everybody liked that game.
Oh.
Well, she ought to give the Lord of the Rings.
I mean, that wasn't a license game.
Lord of the Rings is a license.
I mean, technically, yeah, sure.
But see, that's what, like,
as we started talking about this, it all kind of fell apart
where it's just like, the argument of license games suck
is just simply not true at all.
So we're saying if you're tying it into something.
That's when it gets weird.
So that's fast and furious and experts.
Yeah, because it's like license games,
I think there's, I don't want to say this more good than bad,
but like there might be at this point.
Like because of Telltale, because of Lego,
because of the Arkham games, because of all this different shit,
it's like there's a lot of good license out there.
A lot of it.
Spider-Man games has been a lot of shitty ones,
but there's also been a lot of good ones.
So I don't know.
Transformers, a lot of great ones.
Dragon Ball Z, people really like those games, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, Naruto.
Naruto.
All that stuff, yeah.
There's a ton of games.
People like that shit.
Okay.
I think it's good.
I just want good license games.
Not bad license games.
Yeah, remember that.
Like the family guy games.
I want Sneak King, too.
Yes, let's see a sequel.
Yeah, let's take a truth.
See truth?
Oh, yeah.
That was a great one.
Yeah.
But again, does that count?
Because was that promoting?
It wasn't like a tie into SoftBark season 10 or something.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying like I what are good examples of the tie-in stuff like origins and fast and furious
Yeah
What else that man begins the EA game like that was like in Superman Returns terrible fucking games that were licensed ties
Yeah just to clarify what we're putting license in a box
Yeah, all right we shouldn't get out of it. Just get out of stuff right
Okay, cool, nobody puts Colin in a box top of number three
Amibos
So they're a thing they're definitely a thing and they're a real big thing and I don't think people expected them to be as big of a thing as
they are. We got grown ass men and women out there. Fighting the good fight trying to get their
nesemibos. There's so much going on on Twitter. It's turning people into animals. They're the new
Beanie baby. Yeah. And it's crazy because like, all right, Disney, Infinity didn't do that. Skylanders
didn't do that. Well, that's because they understand supply it to me. Yeah. Well, then also,
they just, they were different. They were very Activision about it, which is just like, let's just
fucking make money. Buy this shit. You know, little kids, you want this. Go for it. Yeah. This is like,
hey, here's characters you actually really care.
And I guess Disney Infinity has this too.
But this is different because this targeted the heart of Andrew Goldfarb.
And I was like, you need this.
You fucking need this.
And you're like, God damn, you're right.
I do need this.
Yeah, I do.
So it causes this whole thing.
And now that, so Smash Bros.
What's shocking to me is we're like four characters away, I think, from all
50 characters having their own amoebo in stores.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Well, at least announced.
Sure, sure, sure.
So, like, they've given dates for all of them, except for like, four of them.
I think Falco and like...
Falcon and Poon!
I know Falco doesn't have his.
But it's like, I never, ever in my life would have thought that I'm going to get Star Fox figurine in stores.
Yeah.
That makes no sense.
An Ike from Fire Emblem?
What?
Yeah.
Like, there's all these, like, crazy things.
And so there's Smash Bros.
And now there's the, there was the Mario line.
And then there, now there's Yoshi's Woolly World, which is an amazing little yarn ones.
Yeah.
I'm definitely getting one of those.
I'm telling you right now.
So you're just giving it.
I don't.
I don't.
It's this thing.
think they're a bad thing. I don't understand why
people are acting like these are the worst things in the world.
Because you get one,
you get a whole bunch of them.
Yeah. What's the problem with that?
There's a lot of them. That's on you.
You're against them because if you get one,
you got to get them all? No, I'm not against them. I just
know that, like, there's a reason why I don't buy pop figures because if I buy one,
I'm like, oh, I'm going to go get all the characters in that.
Sure, sure. Yeah, but imagine if those pop figures give you costumes.
Successfully made them a collectible, which I didn't think they're,
we're going to do. I didn't think the quality of the amoebo stacked up against Disney Infinity
figurines. Um, Skylanders figurines as well, also really high quality. But where Nintendo has failed
with Amibo, in my opinion, is in game functionality. In a lot of the games, the functionality is really,
really weak. And they haven't made a game yet where you need to have an Amoebo to play that
game the way that Infinity and Skylanders have. I think that's where they've really misstepped.
And maybe that's why they kind of held back in production of Amibo, which makes them hard to get.
is because they were kind of, you know, tepid about the audience response,
knowing full well that you don't need to have Smash Brothers Amoe to play Smash Brothers, right?
So I would like to see Nintendo actually step up their in-game functionality,
and then maybe I'll consider buying them because I have not bought a single Amoebo yet,
and I have a shelf full of Infinity figurines.
Do you really?
I do.
Do you play Infinity?
I do, not all the time.
I need to play it more, but it's a hard game.
It's most fun when you're playing in Toy Box with friends,
And the only friend I have that plays in toy box regularly is Brandon Jones.
See, my thing with, I agree completely with what you're saying.
But I just, I don't think that Infinity or Skylanders are the right answer.
Like, it's not like if Nintendo made that, that it'd be like, all right, now it's worth buying these things.
Like, I don't know that we need a game based on that, because that might be a problem.
Because then you have to buy all these things to make this game fun.
And, like, that's an issue.
Like, I'm not going to buy them to get additional costumes and stuff like that.
but like if they were the...
No, but imagine if there was
like an open world Nintendo game
where there was, where when you
tapped your amoebo on the game
pad, the character appeared in the game
instantly and you could play with that person
and then you wanted to switch characters
to go through a different puzzle or a different part of the game
and you tap the other character.
I mean, that's the functionality that Skylanders' Infinity has, right?
And that's what makes them so addictive
is that idea that you just put the character
down onto the Infinity Bay
so the Skylanders Power Portal
and like your character instantly appears in the game.
It's like that technology at work in front of your eyes is really magical, you know, when you use it.
And Amiibo just doesn't have that.
I think the thing there, though, is like, is that gameplay that's engaging to people over 12?
Have you played it?
Yeah, I remember I did a demo of Infinity and I was just like, I love these little figures.
I love Disney way more than I should, and I want these things.
But it's like, I don't want to play this game.
I really don't.
Well, I would say Infinity's gameplay strengths are in the toy.
box, whereas Skylanders gameplay strengths are in their actual, like, campaign.
I think that they just did a much better job of making that gameplay accessible and exciting
to people that are above the age of, like, 10.
And I think we'll see in the Infinity team take it even further with the next Infinity
that they're going to announce, which hopefully will be happening sometimes soon.
They announced it around this time last year.
So I just think that they do such a great job with gameplay, and Nintendo has just failed with gameplay
with Amoebo.
Yeah, I mean, my problem with,
my only
I make a problem in quotes,
because I don't really care about it be amoevos, right?
I'm a Sega kid.
I wish I had, I wish I made different choices.
We could only wish there was Comic Zone amivo's, man.
I wish I'd made different choices,
and the characters met more to me than they do.
They don't.
I respect everybody, and don't get me wrong,
but, like, you know, when the Mega Man came out,
I made sure I pre-ordered it for Colin for Christmas.
Like, that was his Christmas gift.
And even that got here in March.
You know what I mean?
And that was not just because they couldn't fulfill the order or whatever.
The problem I have with them is,
this crazy, like, just make more of them.
Well, it's 2015. Why are we acting like their beanie babies?
Why are we acting like they are Muppet Baby toys from McDonald's?
Like, there are things.
It does not need to be like this.
It does not, you go to Amazon, you click buy, you get it.
But Nintendo doesn't get along with Amazon, so everything's all fucked up.
I don't like that.
Just fix it so everybody can get what they want.
I don't understand why this is such a big deal.
I don't understand, and clearly, I don't understand why it's such a big deal,
because Nintendo does understand why this is a big deal to make it a bigger deal.
They have played their fan base like a fiddle.
Good on them.
and, you know, if the fans are fine with it, fine, like, to be part of this.
But the amount of tweets I've seen, I brought them up on Colin and Greg live before,
for my friends who are adults, who are directors, who are creators,
they go, please Nintendo, hear you fans and make more.
They hear you.
They know what they're doing.
They're doing this, so you tweet about them, so you keep talking.
Like, I don't even know how many waves of Disney Infinity figures have come out since the Avengers
and, you know, Guardians of the Galaxy stuff, because those are the guys I would care about.
Have there been more?
I don't know.
Maybe they have, but people aren't tweeting about them every day.
You have people tweeting about this every day.
You have Jose Otero with a cart full of fucking Yoshi's taking photos of him.
It's just like what the fuck is going on?
Like what the fuck is happening right now?
You know what I mean?
Like, it's crazy.
But I feel like that's the part of the fun of it though.
Like the fact that it is a big deal and it's making people crazy, it makes them interesting.
Sure.
No, again, if they were this out, nobody would be talking about.
No one would give a shit.
If you could just find Ike in any store you walk into, no one would care.
But the fact that you can't get Ike makes you want Ike.
Like, that thing is when they first came out, I was like,
I don't need these.
I'm not going to use them for the actual game functionality.
I kind of want them because I like buying things.
I go, well, I'm just like, which characters would I buy?
I was like, all right, I'll definitely get the characters I play as.
So I'll get zero suit.
I'll get Charzart.
Oh, those aren't out yet.
I use Marth.
I'll get Marth.
And of course, Marth's like one of the rarest ones you can't get.
And I'm like, well, this just went from I kind of want it to I really want it.
Yeah, see, it's working.
They're playing you.
Yeah.
And so it got to the point when I was like, how much do I pay for that?
And that, once I started thinking about that number, I'm like, I don't need this.
But one day, okay.
It's one of those things where it's, it's Comic-Con every fucking month.
Whereas, like, Comic-Con, you don't get in line for the Hasbro, you don't get the crazy
He-Man thing, you bitch you about it on Twitter for one day, and I never hear about it again.
And, like, every fucking three weeks I'm hearing about amoebo's.
I just don't understand the little faucet they're letting trick a lot of characters.
But again, it's just because I, I just, I'm immune.
I am deaf to their pied piper.
And so I just get to watch all these people.
freaking out about it. You know what I mean? It's like, whatever.
Yeah. I mean, I'm, yeah,
I respect Nintendo, but there,
you know, it doesn't really resonate with me.
But God forbid, if they make
Pokemon ones. Oh, I know.
I would go bankrupt.
That's the problem. Like, Nintendo's going to.
That's their game.
When they make the Pokemon game with the Amoebo's,
oh, God, help us all.
If they made, if they made a true, like,
full RPG Pokemon
that had required
Pokemon Amibo.
them all functionality, then that would be really huge.
Because look at how much Skylanders is made for Activision.
It's an over $2 billion franchise now since that franchise launched.
You know, Nintendo could make that kind of money if they did it right.
But Nintendo just always missteps just a little bit, right?
Just a little bit.
So like they're doing the, they're on the right path.
I don't think that they're making all of the right decisions yet.
And I don't know if they're holding their master plan back.
It always seems like they seem to do with everything.
Yeah.
You know, they misstep out the gate and then like they figure it out.
a couple years down the line.
I think the smart thing
if they were to do a Pokemon game
would be just you can play the Pokemon game
right and you can catch a Pokemon's.
Okay, yeah.
And then the ones that you can't find,
you can just go buy it in the store
and then use that like integration, right?
Because then at that point it's like,
oh, like I have the blue version.
Like I can't, you know what you're saying?
The exclusive ones that you can't get what you're going.
Like I could buy all the red version ones.
So you're adding in-game transactions
that are in stores.
Yeah.
And in-store transaction to a game.
Everybody's always fine with his long as they get something.
Yeah.
I mean,
that's the real killer when like if they want,
I guess again,
they don't need to.
They're fine.
Everything's working.
I'm sure the way they want.
They're rolling in money from this.
But when they're like,
all right,
now we're putting out 8 bit Mario Amibo.
And when you touch it to your Wii,
you automatically download the original.
Yeah.
Something like that is fucking awesome.
And they're not really doing that.
It's like kind of that.
It's like,
you get to play for 15 seconds.
Yeah.
Well, fuck you.
But like,
that's what I'd,
on from the Smash Bros. ones, like,
if the new DLC characters, so when Mutu
comes out, Lucas and whoever the hell else comes out,
like, instead of me paying for the DLC to
buy it, if I can go to the store and it gives me a code with it,
I love that. I want to get something.
I hate this digital bullshit.
Well, and they could sell so much more, right? So,
Mutu is, what, $3.99 if you'd buy the
digital download, and if you were to buy the
Mitu Amibo for what is, $12.99 they are, right?
1499.
I only see my eBay for $55.
Yeah.
So if you buy the Amibo, and then he
automatically unlocked when you were,
you tapped into the game pad, that would be
genius, right? But they're not doing that.
Yeah. Missed opportunity.
That'd be so awesome. Another thing that bothers me, and this is
just a very me thing, but the
Yarn Yoshi, it's like, it doesn't have
the, there's no base, it's like, where's
the consistency, guys? You can't do this.
That's like the freaking DVD case next
on my Blu-rays, and it's just like Squarespace, why do you
keep doing this? Stop.
Stop! You think that after
there's been enough examples
of this. You remember the Simpsons box sets.
They got to like, season five,
Kevin knows all about this.
They released the Homer head.
And everybody's like, fuck you.
Make me you've had this and they're like,
oh, right, right, they printed boxes and sent them out to people
because everybody's like, we, we buy this because we're fucking nerds.
We wanted to look good on our shelf.
Yeah, you better damn well know that if Fast 7 or Furious 7,
sorry, does not come in the fucking Best Buy exclusive steel case.
I don't even know what I'm going to do.
Yeah, well, you'll buy them all right now.
No, because my steel case are beautiful right now.
The number of times he's bright about that.
It's just, I may fast.
You kiss too cut.
So good.
This is how he's getting on his girlfriends.
Yeah.
All right.
So many girlfriends.
But yeah, it's, this is a big deal.
So this is Jan Yoshi.
It's like, guys, come on.
Why?
That is.
That is so cute.
It is.
It looks fucking awesome.
But put it on a fucking bass.
It's all.
It's all about that base.
There's,
there's computer chips in his ass.
Yeah.
His ass definitely is going to have a cylinder field to.
Yeah.
Man.
Alfredo, what would make you,
would you buy like Master Chief Amibos?
Eh, I mean.
I would.
This is coming from somebody that bought the Halo books and read them all.
I mean, I would, but then again, the same time, it's like, what else is Microsoft going to do after Halo?
What, like, Blinks the cat?
What do you mean after Halo?
I mean, like, how many, really, how many, like, figures are they going to be able to do that?
You're talking about if they made their own amoebo.
Yeah, they made their own amoebo.
Yeah, competitors.
Like, how much?
The fours the car.
Marcus Phoenix.
I'm like, okay, I guess.
Well, I mean, that's why Sony and Microsoft aren't talking about it, right?
Because they don't have that really iconic cast of characters
The way that Nintendo does
They actually just have, you know, 10 full AAA games
That's all they're doing for them
That vast library
It's a toy's in a tablet
With multi-touch? No, just one touch
No, no, one touch. Please.
Should we be able to play for four hours? No, two.
Thank you.
Could you play with two of these revolutionary game pads?
No, you can't.
Oh, man, that would make too much sense.
Mario Party, let's make a game for the fucking Wii U
and make it so that you need to use Wii moats.
You can't...
All right, guys.
Fourth topic.
They need to make a Wii moat anivo.
Or Wii tablet amoebo.
That's just like flicking you off.
It's on the screen.
It's somebody's looking at Redgie picking off.
Well, I'll tell you, real quick.
Amibo I would buy, and I'm sure they're going to do,
when they do Super Mario World, and it's Mario and a cake.
I mean, I'll buy that.
I'll buy that.
I'll buy that.
I want to like the amoebo so much more than I do,
and it's like I am just a second away from slipping into this.
and just getting so dirty and nasty with these things.
Getting so far into it.
Because once I buy this, you better damn well know I'm buying Disney Infinity shit.
You think that I'm going to have my zero suit and not have her chilling next to Elsa?
You're kidding me.
You are kidding me.
So it's like I look at them, but it's the build quality like you were saying.
It's just like, oh, like the zero suit one they showed has this freaking like weird ass yellow stick behind her.
Holding her up.
Figure out gravity and stuff, guys.
Come on.
out of her butt.
I think a lot of people underestimate the amount of research and development that goes into creating an actual physical toy.
And that's why only a few companies worldwide do it really well and manufacture on a broad scale.
And Disney clearly has the resources to do that.
And Disney's done merchandising for decades, which is why we see a really high quality collectible.
I just think that Nintendo maybe needs to put a little bit.
more R&D into
Amoebo and it could be a really, really big
thing. It could be even bigger than it
is now. That's what I would like to see. I want
to like Amibo, but they just haven't given
me a reason to like them yet. Do you have the
Aladdin one?
I have Jasmine. I don't have Aladdin.
Because Aladdin's dope as fuck. He's all right.
Yeah, it's pretty cool. I just got Loki
though. He was in the last wave, yeah.
It's pretty cool. Before we
go to the next topic, I want to give a shout out to
Hot Chocolate Party. It's a YouTube channel.
They made an amoebo rap, and it's
fucking hilarious.
It's really funny.
I'm gonna show you later.
It's good.
Are we done with the peach shoutouts?
And I miss the end of peach shoutouts?
Yeah, I feel like those are.
Kevin, give me the yes.
Every still go to bitly.com.
Or bitly slash peach goblin.
Bit.
Dotley slash Peach Goblin.
He has an album.
Yeah.
An EP.
Excuse me.
You should go check it out.
He's a good dude.
All right.
Topic for the final topic.
The final time.
It's a kind of funny mailbag.
We're going to do a bunch of rapid fire.
But we can talk about them for a little longer if we want.
Questions.
As always, tweet at me at Tim Getty's.
Let me know your topics that you want us to talk about.
Just like at Festorello.
How do you feel about that name?
Festrello.
It's pretty good.
I like it.
I like it.
I'm a fan of the Festor.
I'm a bigger fan of the L.O.
Is it acceptable to marathon games in your underwear when you're an adult?
Yes.
Yeah.
Entirely.
Yeah.
We all do that, right?
Most certainly.
Of course.
I mean.
Even though now I'm a little more nervous about doing it now that Connect is always watching me.
Yeah.
Well, that just kind of makes me want to do it more.
Someone's watching.
They get to see.
Because I'm a big fan of my underwear collection.
What?
Okay.
Go into details about that.
I don't need to go into details.
I mean.
I mean, just, okay.
Afrored of.
Are they prints?
Let's, no, well, I got some prints ones.
I have a lot of holiday themes.
Boxer briefs.
I have a lot of holiday themed boxers that my mom has bought me over the years.
So it's like, she's gotten me a pair to you.
Yeah, she did.
She has.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She got me and him matching Transformers boxers back in 2007 when the movie came out.
But the thing about boxers is it's like you get them years, but they last for a while.
Yeah, they last forever.
You know, so it's like my boxer collection, I haven't bought boxers for a long time.
But it's pretty on point.
Like we got some Valentine's Day ones.
We got some Christmas ones.
We got some St. Patrick's Day.
Like they get pretty much in your underwear.
You're saying.
I would.
Definitely.
Like there's like Memorial Day ones.
You heard it here.
There's a memorial.
No, there's not.
I really wish there was, though.
It's just a bunch of veterans saluting.
But there's things like that, right?
But then it reached a point where I was like,
I'm not going to wear boxers anymore.
Why?
Because we found boxer briefs together.
So good.
How did you find them together?
Well, here's the thing, right?
Yoga pants.
It's a big deal.
Everybody loves yoga pants.
What's the yoga pants for men?
Boxer briefs.
How did you find them together?
That's what I'm at.
I mean, probably because we decided to be grown men one day.
We're like, yeah, let's be grown men and stop going in like Zumi's and go to
Express.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh shit.
They got that boxy briefs.
I'm like,
whoa,
what's this?
They have good ones there too.
They got real good ones.
Yeah.
That's really.
I don't really wish that one.
Nick also wants to talk about underwear.
We said to be grown-ass men,
so we went to Express.
Yeah.
So it's good.
So you only bust out the Express Boxer Briefs when you mean business.
Yeah.
Because it's like,
or else it's H&M.
Literally.
In every sense.
It can happen at any time,
at anywhere, Greg.
Okay, sorry.
Right now I'm wearing H&M ones.
So there's no action happening.
I mean,
no business today.
Again, Greg.
Anytime.
Anywhere.
But it's just like,
Express you only got to bust out
because Express has the big ass express.
Like it says it.
People know.
So it's like it's the equivalent
to women wearing matching bras and underwear.
You know that they have shit in mind.
They're planning.
Oh, that's true.
If you see that,
yeah, they're stopping into it.
If they're not matching,
it just means that's when it's the anytime anywhere.
Video games, right?
Yeah.
So yeah.
It's just like.
People they want off topic.
Wanted more off topic, they're getting more off topic.
It happens.
All right.
So, my boy, Zach Edwards, aka Houston Z.
Shout out to you.
I like you a lot.
People complained that Fallout New Vegas felt like an expansion pack or D.L.C.
For Fallout 3.
Who said that?
People.
What can be done to not make Fallout 4 feel the same?
Fuck those people.
I didn't feel like that.
That's what you do.
I was cold bloodied.
I mean, it's going to be an HD version of Fallout.
That's all it's going to be, right?
It's going to be a fancier version of Fallout with better textures and better loading
and less game crashing and falling through the world because you wore a hat on the strip.
I mean, Fallout is Fallout.
I'm expecting it to be a lot like that, and that's exactly what I want.
Good.
Better lip-sinking.
That would make it, you know.
Not, like, put some cinematography into it, not just, oh, I'm talking to this person.
I want to talk to this person.
There's a lot of ghouls over there.
At Crispy N-64 says,
How awesome is Mount your friends?
Very awesome.
That's very awesome.
Very fucking awesome.
Catch on let's play on YouTube.com.
That's kind of funny games.
Do you what day is going up, Kevin?
Kevin can't even get today's let's play up.
Let's not.
Sometimes this week.
It's definitely, definitely happening.
At Hokie says,
Dem Halo trailers, dough.
Oh.
Good Lord.
Those trailers, it's a little old news now,
but fucking A.
I like it.
I like it.
Because I feel like I'm done with the whole
fighting the covenant and stuff like that.
Now there seems like there's like,
mystery and like this big conspiracy going on he's fighting another spartan i'm like okay like i could
get into here's my question for you afraid today on colin on call on god with andrew renn we were
we were talking about this halo podcast they're doing it's in the vein of serial which was a real
murder and they probably shouldn't say it's in the vein of are you listening to it would you
want to listen because it's all about the truth and all this jazz and trying to figure out what's
going on the story i mean i don't know for me it's just like from working at igan i get kind of
develop this thing where I just don't want to know about a game because then I know too much.
So for me, it's just like at this point, I just want to just wait to the games out.
Maybe watch a few trailers in the meantime, but just wait until it's out.
Are you aware that that Halo TV show came and went already?
The Nightfall?
Yeah.
I watched a little bit of it.
I don't know how I miss this.
I interviewed the guy.
I didn't even know.
No one talked about this.
A couple days ago, I was buying some Blurays and I saw it on Amazon.
It was like Nightfall.
I'm like, that's all Blu-ray.
Yeah.
What?
Yeah.
I watched the first two episodes.
It had a very like,
In terms of production quality, like sci-fi, original movie type feel.
And I was like, eh, it's cool, but I really care about it.
Well, if you want to watch it, I can bring my Master Chief Collection over.
Is it working yet?
Is it working yet?
Well, I haven't played it in a while, so I don't know about that.
People told me it worked.
I just think it's interesting that it's very clear that Microsoft is trying to appeal to a mass market audience
because they debuted the trailers during The Walking Dead.
They didn't announce them with a game news site podcast.
partner. They didn't announce them at a big convention.
They were like, we know this is tent pool,
you know, cable watching for our
target audience. So it was
interesting. I think it's definitely the right
move because it's their flagship
franchise, but I don't think
that we were talking about this morning, I don't think
that people who watch the Walking Dead are
going to go search out a podcast
to listen and find out more about Halo.
The truth. Hashtag the truth.
Hashtag the truth. Yeah.
What's interesting about those trailers, though, is
I feel like they were exactly what Halo
5 needed to get people interested.
At least the people that were on the fence.
If you're sold, you're fucking sold.
But I feel like it was great for all the people
that moved over to PS4 from
the Xbox. And we're just like,
all right, I'm done with this. I've got enough Halo.
Like, Curran, our friend,
he saw those trailers, he's like, fuck, I have to buy
an Xbox one. Like, I can't not play it.
He's a girl. He's got a car? He is. He does
have a car. He has a dog. You should
go follow his dog on Instagram.
We need to make him famous, Greg.
do me a favor bleep all that out
Kieran did not give us the money
for shoutouts for a month
Oh no no no no
The dog does not get me
Yeah fuck Roger
Kevin here's what I want you do
I want you to put all that information up
But then put a black bar across all of it
And let him know that he could have gotten that blood
He could have supported us
$3,000 current step it up
All right at Charlie M says
Favorite Gameboy Advance game
I have a lot of favorites
The first like Tony Hush Pro Skater 2
was my first one
Because that was a launch game
That and the whole Mario advanced series
was really good.
Oh, yeah.
That was so long ago.
I don't even remember.
The Castlevania Games.
I'm Googling for the full title of mine.
Hold on,
because I don't want to get YLFU's my phone.
I was still like playing my N64 then.
I was not playing Game Boy Advance.
What was I playing on that?
I just remember just playing Pokemon.
Oh, Zero Mission was amazing.
Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion.
I did play Fusion.
That was good.
Yeah.
Mine?
because it's the reason I bought my Game Boy Advance finally
because I'd been on the fence forever and ever and ever
and then I went into Sam's Club
because I was in Missouri and they had all
like you know how they just had that giant thing of games
and I was looking through it and they had the clamshell
Blue GBSP GBSP Gold Ball Blue
Yep you know it
And I was like if they have Extreme Ghostbusters
Code Ecto 1 I'll buy it
And they did
And I bought it and it was so much fun
There's a box out you need a little refresher
Oh my goodness how it looked
Yeah, Pokemon, Ruby, and Sapphire was a big deal
Because I feel like that was the perfect time
So Pokemon on the Game Boy came out in 98
When I was in third grade
And I feel like I was the exact generation
That that game was made for
Because it got me
I was at the per day to get hooked
And buying all the toys and buying all the cards
And buying all that shit
And then you grow up
And I played Golden Silver
Which came out like a year or two after
Still in elementary school though
But then we went to middle school
And that's like, all right
You're not supposed to play Pokemon anymore
quote,
Yeah, and so
Yeah, so we went,
We went sixth and seventh grade
Without Pokemon, because it's just like, whatever
But then Ruby and Sapphire came out on GBA
It was like the next gen
Here's new Pokemon
It was the first one that like
Didn't have to do with the
The first two games
And I remember all my friends
It was that moment of like
Oh, we're supposed to be cool
We're not supposed to like this
Oh, did you buy it?
You bought it?
Oh shit, I bought it too
Are we playing at lunch?
Are we doing that?
And then just everyone's playing Pokemon
It's just like, goddamn right
Fuck's the side
You're trading? We're trading? We're doing this shit?
Yeah, Ruben Sapphire was, that was some shit.
All right, fanboy wars.
Papello wants to know about fanboy wars.
Do we believe in the necessity to defend the systems that we play?
No, no one needs to actually stand up for Nintendo and its greatness.
That would be ridiculous.
Everybody already knows about the vast library.
I let the ignorant people who want to say that there are no Vita games.
Speak for themselves.
I don't think we need to get into that.
I mean, we'd buy into it here and joke around there.
Yeah.
We don't care.
I mean, yeah, it's one of those things where it's like, you totally don't care.
And I think that it's a good thing, though, just that, like, you support stuff that you like.
Bland, bland, like hate, blunt and bland, blind hate of the other people, that's not cool.
Sure.
Like, you need to not hate other people.
But, like, really loving the thing that you love?
Hell yeah.
Do it.
Yeah.
Same thing like sports.
Like, people who like sports are just, like, really proud of their team, you know, just really proud of your console.
But they're also really hateful on other teams.
It's true.
That's true.
It's very true.
So fuck them.
It gets ugly.
Yeah.
It's totally me too.
I think the only time that you really need to defend the thing you like is maybe when it's new, right?
So like when X-Ox 1 and PS4 first launch, like fall 2013, like deciding which one you were going to buy, then maybe.
It always comes down.
In that very, like, finite example.
It's the same reason I was a Sega kit because I was told you get one system.
You know what I mean?
Like, even if I would have tried to talk to my parents by getting any other than any other than you, they already have the genesis.
They're sick.
What do you care?
You know what I mean?
Like that's how this happens is that you get into your.
trench and that's it. Now you're in the war.
And that was like, you know, when the new systems came out,
I bought them all. Whatever.
I don't care. I'm a grown-ass man.
I don't get shit anymore. I keep buying games on Steam.
I'm not even playing them.
You're fucking dull in this category. It's like, yeah,
it's whatever you want to do with it. And then it comes
down, inevitably you play one more than the other, but like
it's just whatever you know, right?
That's what we always talk about. This is what I used to talk about all the time
at IG when, like, I was deep in the
trenches with PlayStation 3 and stuff.
And me and Damien would argue about the Xbox 3
60 and PlayStation 3 interfaces
and it was totally just like
you know one.
It doesn't matter how simple it is
if you hand somebody something new
like how do I even get
where do I even go?
Where do I get to my printer set?
Well that's what exactly
XNB taught you.
That's the funniest thing with fucking awful.
I know.
No, but see I liked it
and like I'm familiar with it
from the PSP.
So it's like all right
it all made sense.
It's like okay cool
but then the perfect thing is calling.
I'm not defending the Wii use system
at all because good lord it's a mess but
Colin acts like it's the most obtuse thing that just
totally is designed for idiots and it's just like
if you just calm the fuck down for one second
you'll get to what you need to get to it's really not
any different than any other system like it works
now where it does get complicated is if you're doing let's plays
and you're trying to figure out which
am I in Wii mode or regular Wii mode? Do you need to go in the Wii mode for the
virtual console and buying stuff and that turns into
oh it didn't auto recognize that we've switched from 10
Oh my God, shut the fuck up and just work.
So that's all a mess.
But it's like, otherwise, it's not like any of the systems have it down.
Exactly.
It's just like everyone has their own little things.
And how many times I've had a text Freedo?
Because I'm just like, I don't know.
I'm on the Xbox One and I want this to happen.
What do I do?
He's like, oh, that's, okay, cool.
Where's the printer settings?
How do I print from this?
Can I boot in Linux money?
How do I get magic sheep collection to work?
You don't.
You don't.
You eject the disc and put it on the shelf.
Wait for further instructions.
Cal FD wants to know about Metal Gear Solid Ground Zero's.
Is it worth a play?
Thoughts on the game and the franchise.
Obviously, we love the franchise.
Do we all love the franchise?
Nope.
Okay.
Well, I love the franchise.
Greg loves the franchise.
Kevin loves the franchise.
Kevin loves the franchise.
Grand Zero is totally worth playing.
Yeah.
Here's my thing with Ground Zero's.
And I've talked to you about it today already.
I'm sorry, you're getting the same spiel.
It's okay.
Ground Zero's, you know, Peace Walker's the best game of all time.
Period.
I mean, I heard you thought Smash Bros was.
That's not sure.
And so when Ground Zero's was coming up and I'd watch the trailers, whatever, like, this is going to be Peace Walker, H.D., I can't wait for it.
And then I got it, and I started streaming it for, I took one day off work, if you remember.
I was going to stream and platinum it and try to platinum one day.
And I beat the campaign, and I started doing the little missions, and I just ended up stopping and playing something else.
Because it was too much.
It was too much Metal Gear.
It was too much realism for Metal Gear of like, all right, I'm on this arm of base, and I've tagged everybody great.
And then I start moving, and there's one guy I missed over there.
Hey, who's that?
I'm like, oh, fucking jeep.
So then I'm just running around like an asshole shooting right now.
I'm like, oh, this isn't fun.
I don't feel like snake.
So that was a mood killer for me.
And it turned me off to it in terms of like I didn't go back to try to platinum it.
Now I'm getting revved up for Phantom Pain where people are telling me no, no, this one is actually
Peace Walker HD.
This is the one you're going to be crazy about it.
You need to get into.
So like, I'm taking August off from other games and only playing.
I'm only playing ground zeros.
I'm going to platinum ground zeros.
I'm going to get really good at Metal Gear again so that when I land in Phantom
in pain land, I'll be ready to go and I'll feel like
Snake again. Now, it's going to be tough.
Quitting other video games cold turkey.
I'm going to get my head kicked in a few dozen times, but it'll
eventually get to be like Middle Gear Solid 2 where I knew
enemy patterns and I knew where everybody was going.
So I'm going to do, I think my first week,
I'm going to go to every mission, and just lay there.
And just watch people. Just memorize their patterns.
Just fucking learn.
I'll stream with six hours and be laying there.
I'm figuring out exactly what's happening.
Throwing rocks, seeing how people react.
to it.
He's got one of those,
corkshoe boards.
Yeah, exactly.
That's fucking,
see, Ground Zero's to me
is like,
it's my perfect gaming experience
where it's short.
And it's like,
yeah, it's very short,
but it's like expansive
and there's a lot of different things to do,
but it's also contained.
It's an open world that, like,
is designed.
And it's like, all right, cool.
You can go into this area.
There's a lot of shit to do,
but it's like,
you don't need to worry about
the rest of the world.
Don't worry about what's past
that fucking mountain.
There's not dragons over there.
You don't need to worry about it.
Like, you're good.
Just stay in this area.
And all the things you're saying about it being not Metal Gear,
like, it's just way, it's too much.
Sorry, too much Metal Gear and like, it's too real and all that.
I loved that.
It was like one of the, I remember playing Melodyar Solid 4 and it being my first real next-gen
experience with games.
Yeah.
And for me, this is also my first, this is a PS4 experience, even though you can play
on the other systems.
But like, the way that the guards interacted with you and like the lights and all that stuff,
I was just like, holy shit, I had so much fun having it be that much more real and that much
more just like ridiculous.
I kept trying to do bullshit,
like jumping from building to building
without people seeing me because I'm fucking Spider-Man.
Yeah.
And does he do it?
Yeah, it's fun.
It was really fun.
I remember Kevin was playing a lot too.
Like he was doing all these different things.
And it was one of those experiences where his play-through of it,
totally different than my play-through of it.
Yeah.
And I love that because it's two hours,
but everyone's two hours is different.
It's a really expensive two hours.
Was it?
Yeah.
It was like $2,99.
If you bought the retail box version,
it was $39.
99.
Right?
Oh, shit.
That's a lot.
You got those side missions.
I'm like, I bar it.
Extra ops.
Go through and get it.
Have you played it?
Did you play it?
No, that's going to be on my list.
I think it's a place for a game come out, but it's like, well, I mean, not the time
was 40 bucks.
Jesus.
No, you can get it.
You can get a cheap now.
Well, now.
Let's see how much.
Let me look it up here.
That's expensive.
You can just watch my stream.
First week is laying there.
All right.
Cool.
I'm laying there.
Watching.
Fucking.
Fucking being a snake.
I'm only going to eat like snake.
in the game.
Go fly on the wall.
Saran wrap in your kitchen.
All right.
Serran wrap in your kitchen.
What the fuck?
All right.
Ryochefn wants to know our thoughts on
relationship simulators in non-dating
sim games.
Like,
Mass Effect and persona.
How do I say?
So relationship elements in a game that isn't
based just about that?
Love it.
Big fan.
I'm not a fan.
What the fuck is your problem?
It's too much work.
What?
Don't do it.
It's optional.
So like Fire Emble has it?
And I'm just like, oh, God.
Like, this is part of the gameplay.
I don't want to deal with this.
Like, can I just have side bitches?
Come on.
Can I just have some?
No, because you ever play games?
You're like, oh, hey, what's up?
Look at this girl character.
Well, I mean, that definitely happened.
It's me.
And then, games like Mass Effect allow you to bang them.
That's true.
It's pretty great.
It was such, it was the much needed release from all that action and space drama
and mineral farming to get to go out there and talk to people.
It encouraged you to go talk, right?
Because then I'd run around the ship and talk to everyone in the ship, usually about ship kind of stuff.
But then you get to your little secretary, your little piece, you talk to her, you get over to Garris, you talk to him.
You figure out.
Gosh, we're going to do it?
Exactly.
And eventually you do, and it's hot.
I remember in Final Fantasy 10, there was like, and usually the Final Fantasy games will have some, like, tree of, like, responses you can do that'll, like, make one person like you more than the other.
I remember, like, you were flirting with all the girls.
So, you know, Lulu, Riku, or whatever.
I want Riku.
It's like, I know the story
is gonna make me go with you and I want Riku.
And then somebody I got Lulu.
Damn it, Lulu.
Just like real life, man.
Yeah.
You can't predict love.
You can't.
You really can't.
You can't tell somebody that they love me.
But it's like, it's things like that.
It's like, now we actually do have what I thought I wanted back then of, of you can actually
make all that happen.
It's not just like predetermined shit.
It's like you can choose who the hell you want.
Right.
And make sure that's too much.
Like, I don't want real life.
So just don't.
So you just, you're, okay.
But you enjoyed real life out of metal gear?
Yeah.
I'm glad you said that because I was going to bring that up.
Yeah. Yeah.
No, it's not that it was real life.
Jumping from rooftop to rooftop of Spider-Man.
No, like realism in video games.
I'm not talking about like real life.
Video game realism and real life are different things.
Are they though?
Yeah, they are.
They definitely are.
Greg Miller feels me.
Week two is just going to be crouch walking.
No fighting, just crouch walking.
Okay, so I looked it up.
It was 2999 for,
Xbox 1 and PS4. It was
1999 on the last
That's not bad.
I spent $17
to watch Furious 7 again.
It was worth it.
30 fucking bucks.
30 fucking bucks.
It's not 30 bucks anymore. You can get it as cheap as
10 bucks. I mean, they're just throwing them for free
at this point. Oh yeah, I mean at this point.
But damn, back then, $30 for like
two hours?
Yep.
But, but.
I want to know what I'm going to say.
There's reasons to replay.
There's things to go collect.
If you're just looking at it in terms of a campaign, I feel you.
But there's more than that in that package.
All right.
Yeah.
Disagrebe, that's okay.
Not enough people bought it.
That's why Kijima left.
All right.
At Esteban.
It's a great name.
Yeah.
Want to know.
Should jobs allow time for video game breaks?
No.
No.
Reading people's tweets is always hard.
Just work.
Just go to work.
It's always just often.
It makes me stumble.
It's the simple line of just one more game.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, that's ridiculous.
No, do your job and then do video games afterwards.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Like everybody else.
Esteban.
Jay Marulo.
Jason Derulo?
Nope.
Jason Derulo.
How much do you think he gets that?
Like, every time he walks in the room, people sing his name.
Jason, I don't know the stand.
Are we going to start seeing more superhero games like we are with TV and movies?
I hope so.
Yeah.
I mean, more?
There's been so many.
But I mean, you mean, good ones.
Yeah.
I mean, I thought, like, when Batman Arkham Asylum hit, I thought we're going to get it.
I thought, here we go, the golden age, we're going to get a Spider-Man game.
People took time on in a superman game, and this never happened.
You got Marvel Heroes.
You got DC Universe online, of course.
Best in memo of all times.
I mean, things are out there.
There's things to do, but I don't understand why it hasn't taken off.
You hope that now Disney has a plan for all the franchises, whatever they want to do.
And then, yeah, whatever Warner Bros is working on.
Would you consider Disney and Fendi?
to be a superhero franchise?
No.
No.
I mean, that's like, is Mall versus Capcom superheroes?
Just because it has superheroes in it.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
Right?
That's a, no game.
So you're talking about, like, a single character's standalone story that turns into a franchise.
Or X-Men.
We need some more Asian apocalypse games.
Remember those?
No.
X-Men Legends.
Oh, yeah.
I gave you the Sir title.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
That was it would be good.
Some dungeon crawl, remember them?
Remember these?
They were on PSP?
Remember the PSP?
I never played those versions.
No.
So what's the story for week three?
Week three, week three,
we're going to, no, we're going to try to steal cops.
You only got a month.
But I'm going to know the X's and O's, man.
I'm going to see, like, I'll just be like the Matrix.
I'm just going to see the, I'll be able to predict everything that's happening.
Crazy Dogs wants to know, do you think Fast and Fear should get a decent game with story made?
Yeah.
entirely.
A Fast and Furious game would be awesome
if done right,
but it would never be.
It won't be done right.
It would never be.
The best you can hope for
is it would be when they end the franchise
that they continue on that way.
Yeah.
Because that would make sense.
It's like, you know,
like you just,
it picks up,
I don't know,
it's always,
Dom's got some fucking shopies running or something.
And Vindy's is like the main
NPC and you like come in
and he sees something,
I don't know.
He's like the quest giver?
Yeah,
exactly.
I never thought about how much I want
a comic continuation
of Fast and Furious.
until right now.
They don't want a comic continue.
Like the season 11 of...
You always think you do and then you don't.
I do.
I think it can be okay for it to just be over.
See, I like what you're saying.
See, the problem is it's not...
They're going to stay.
They're outstaying their welcome.
Well, yeah, because it's their most profitable franchise ever, right?
I don't agree with that.
I think that the movie I just watched should have been the last fast and furious.
No.
Think about...
There's three more coming for sure, right?
What?
Not three.
Three?
I heard there was a new trilogy.
At least two more.
This is the start of the trilogy.
Oh, I thought it was, I'm sorry,
I thought there was a new trilogy beyond this or whatever.
Imagine how bad then the next movie is going to be.
What are you basing this?
They've not been gone to space shit, so we're going.
I'm basing it on the fact that I'm not even trying to take shots at you or whatever.
I was watching it and like, I love the movie, don't get me wrong.
But, and I guess some spoilers for who's alive,
not at the end of the movie, just in the middle of the movie here.
But like when they get everybody together,
and they're around the table and there was no rock and there was no Han and there was no Gal Gadil
and I was just like this team isn't even near this fun there weren't the two other guys that
cracked Wise in the other movie I forget what their name were but like the worst characters
that like honestly did not deserve to be in the family hey some fucking just somebody
the Dominican characters the characters from the Dominican Republic yeah yeah yeah
Tago Calderon or whatever it's I'm just saying there is we were missing parts of a team there
yeah because and now we're not going to have Paul Walker and we're not going to have
Mia and we're not going to have Han and we're not going to have Gal Gadot
Yeah.
So you've pulled this.
We had Dalgado for two movies.
Yeah.
And she had one function that she was really good at.
Then we had Han, who I'm not going to talk any shit about Han.
He was an amazing character.
He's just, he is.
He was really great.
Everything.
He's the Obi-Wan of this franchise.
But it's like he can live on, just like Obi-Wan did.
He's not going to live on.
He's not going to live on.
Flashbacks?
I mean, he's not going to be amazing.
But like, I feel like they can just add more characters, have more people.
That's not how families were.
But that is, that's how the fast.
family works but they won't be as fun
I don't want to get to know them it's trust me
it'll be fine by the time this ends
Tokyo drift on it and just get
all new character they brought the Tokyo drift kid and I'd be
alright no
well no god
bring bow to
I want to that's what I'm saying
bringing Twinkie it'll be great
it'll be good I'm not worried at all
I just hope they found
at all there's no concern at all
no even they're going to be fine
oh man I wanted to start spoiling the fast movie right
all time with this out there yeah yeah yeah
All right.
We're going to end it here.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Because Greg is just wrong about everything.
He's about to make my day really bad.
Leave comments below telling Greg that he's wrong about the Fast and the Furious.
And, uh...
What?
Yeah, thank you, Nick.
Shut up.
Thanks a lot, Nick.
All right, guys.
Tweet it at Tim Geddes.

No problem.
Even when you have a wrong opinion, it still makes me happy.
I'm just saying you better start setting your expectations lower.
I will.
I will.
I always do.
