Tim Getties. I'm joined today by Blessing Adioia Jr. Good day, Tim. And Andy Cortez. Hey, Tim. Now we did have another man on the on the cast We had another man that was sitting here moments ago It's why we're just slightly later than we should have been

That man of course was snow bike Mike Andy what happened He sat down and said So my flight is at 1245 Or at 1245 And it's 1115 at the time And we're like oh you shouldn't you should go then he's like,

oh, I said it in the meeting, are you sure? And I don't remember him saying it in the meeting. I distinctly remember him bringing this up and I was trying to solve it.

But look, on one hand, I don't want to give him shit because it's like he did try to solve the problem. But on the other hand, clearly, he didn't solve the problem.

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I'm somewhere in the middle there. Mike, don't want to talk shit. I know we talk a lot of shit. And then you're going to be fine. You're going to go to the airport now. It's going to be great.

He better not still be in this building. I swear to... I do understand... Look, I understand the mentality. I've done the thing where I leave my car at the studio. If I'm boarding at 1 p.m., because my flights at 135 or 140 or whatever, I'll leave the studio by, you know, 1215. Yeah. We're very close to the airport. If you have clear, you... you got TSA pre-check, you're sitting pretty. However, there is a government shutdown going on right now that is causing all types of problems. I don't want you to see what's in the Epstein files.

So, yeah, definitely throwing the needle on this one we'll see. But it was definitely a cascading series of problems, the avalanche, the waterfalls, whatever you want to call it, because this episode was titled, even more Pokemon Legends, ZA reviews so far. When we tentatively put that there last week, we were like, all right, we know that not that many people here like played that much of it but hopefully they will have played more and it kind of seems like

like that didn't happen too much and i was hoping that andy had got further because i was like oh i'm going to change the headline to andy's polka legins as i review so far and then today he's like dude i was playing all this other stuff for like that i'm officially going to review and i was like all right let's kind of start taking this all back and then i was like it's fine when i saw the thumbnail that roger made i'm like we got andy we got mike it's going to be just friends talking about game. Me and Blesska to have a good time. And then we just lost Mike.

So this episode, it's just going to be a lot of fun. I mean, is it too late to super pivot and do that PS2 shit list that we didn't do last week? Let's save that for tomorrow, right? Or Friday, that's on Friday. I got plenty of stuff to talk about it. But here's the thing. I do, I want to talk about Pokemon Legends EA. I don't think that we're going to have an opportunity to hear your guys thoughts as they

stand so far. We have Barrett, who has been playing a little bit as well. So we will talk about Pokemon Legend. And then we'll also get to other just games that we've been playing. So this is a semi what you've been playing an episode with a slight emphasis on Pokemon Legendsaw. Let's call it that. Because remember everyone, this is the kind of funny games cast.

That's a lie. I don't want to get there yet. because the show was Pokemon, but I want to talk about something else entirely. I've been wanting some of this for a while, and I just want to just put it out there.

Okay. I can't stop thinking about Final Fantasy 7, you guys. You know, same here, and I don't know why. What brought Final Fantasy 7 to the mind for me? Who could tell? You know, who knows? There's been something recently, and you know what I think it is, is that the director of Rebirth and co-director of Remake has been going on this press tour recently.

he's been showing up to every single press or every single convention that there's been going on around the world with a bunch of developers and this man can't close his mouth this man wants to talk about final fantasy seven part three so bad and he's doing it like he's just saying everything andy like i don't know that we've ever we probably have but it's very very very rare that we have heard this much about a game that's not even formally announced you know Like we know it's coming, but like it's exciting. I feel like this has been happening for a while. Like it's definitely amped up in recent week weeks, but I feel like throughout the last however many years,

every other week, I swear there's like a new interview coming out from somebody who's making, who is at Square Inix working on the Final Fantasy 7 remix, who like says some unique thing about, oh, it'll run on Switch to or oh, it's coming to this thing or oh, it's, yeah, like, oh, we're not doing exclusives or whatever it is, right? Like we always get new info about this series for some reason. Yeah, it's just, it's very cool.

And I also think that a big part of it is we are kind of in that hype cycle for Resident Evil. No, Resident Evil. What am I talking about? Yeah. Final Fantasy 7. We're rattled right now. I'm so rattled. I needed Mike here, man.

I was rattled on games daily too. I think there's something in the air. There's definitely something in this year. But Barry, did you, how did you get Fall Fancy 7 on the wall that fast? Was that luck? I think that's the first thing that pops up. Yeah, that's just like. So whenever we change scenes for the games cast sets,

it just starts at the beginning of the file. And it starts with Final Fantasy. That's Oxal. I was like, dang, dude. That is impressive. But I made the wall two years ago, I knew that you were going to do this. At this point.

I won't. That's funny. You saw it. I love it. But I think a lot of it's just there doing the tour to talk about FarnFSC7 remake Integrate coming to Switch. Right? Because that's in January.

So it's playable at a lot of these conventions. So I think that has a lot to do with kind of like why he's even in a place to talk this much about it. But I just keep going back to listen to the music. Like Andy, you and I went to that concert and it was life-changing. And I listened to that concert so much. And I'm just like, damn, these games, we're, I'm saying it right now. We're a month and a week away from this game being officially revealed at the game wards. And I can't wait.

Wow. There better be some good shadows and lighting in those rooms, man. I'll tell you what. Let me tell you, I saw a clip on TikTok this morning of, it was a meme. I guess I don't want to spoil Final Phase of 7 because it's new to some people now. But it's a meme of Cloud doing a snowboarding mini game, which I assume exists in the original game. Oh yeah. I never got that far to it was the event after.

Like this is the event after some major. Pretty much right after, yeah. Yeah. And they're like, oh, just cloud snowboarding down a mountain or whatever. And I'm like, I want to see that in the new game. And you know what? After Rebirth, I guess. guarantee they're doing it.

There's no chance they don't do the snowboarding, which is hilarious. And I'm going to derail just a little longer here because something really good has happened to me the last couple weeks. My good friend James Burke, I talk about him a lot. He is not somebody that would inherently call himself a gamer, but turns out over the years, he's one of the biggest gamers their fucking is. This man addicted to platinum's in a way that's the opposite of Greg Miller. he's in it of like if he's playing a game

he's going to 100% it no matter what it is he's not doing them my name is mayo click me click me whatever the hell those things are called right ball pit ball not ball and the ball pit's good yeah ball bounce ball whatever the hell ZJ the ball ZJ the ball he ain't doing that shit um but like over the years you've heard he's platinum bloodborne he's platinum cup head

he's flat runs last of us he's like top three speed runner of last of us in the world you saw that live on kind of funny where he casually did it drinking beers It's hilarious Recently I'm hanging out with him And he was asking me He's like oh like what are you playing And I was telling him like all my friends were playing Expedition 33

So he got jealous of that He played it He plotted it Of course Which it's pretty Very impressive Right yeah yeah And then he was on me

He was like oh what are you trying to platinum I'm like no I'm not platinum expedition Like that is just no Out of my wheelhouse It's not too bad Really? Like some of the options one, well, once you get like

in end game leveling, you know, it's like, it's honestly not too insane. Because I don't think platinuming requires full 100%. Because there's like one like tower thing that I don't think I fully completed. Yeah, like I don't think I fully did that

but I still got the platinum. There's one collectible. Oh, you got the platinum in it? Yeah. Oh shit. Okay, cool. Yeah, yeah. When this shit's uncapped. When those, when those frame rates uncapped, you know. You're hitting 290 frames per second, yeah, it's crazy. So he did that and I was like

just impressed with the sheer time commitment of me, from it going from him not knowing about this game to him having it platinum. I'm like, how is this possible? You have a job and a life and a girlfriend, like so much going on. And then he was like, oh, what else are you playing? And I started telling him about two little games, 80s 2

and Hollow Night Silk Song. And I don't understand how this happened. No. Because it was just in the last couple weeks. What if I told you? No. He platinumed Hades 1 and platinumed Hollow Night. That's crazy. He last night beat Silk Song on his way to platinum hits. Wow.

What the hell? That's a gamer right there. We got a fucking gamer out here. Yeah, that's not even like casual territory. It's insane. Yeah. We got to get him on the show. We got to figure this all out, man.

Honestly, with the amount of games he plays, like, he should just be a kind of funny game of the year vote. Yeah. But it's so far. his opinions about the games, though. You don't want to hear him. I swear to God. But that's why I think it'd be really funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Anyways, my goal for the end of the year, and now Jamesburg may have to be added on to this, but I say end of the year as if, like, we're in June or something. But I beat the game. What are you doing? What are you doing? Mike, go. I look over and Mike is just from the door looking at me, reach it out.

Man has to board it an hour. God. Um, I, I beat Silk Song. So to Barrett. Somebody who's on their way, who's almost done. One Jack Quaid. Oh. You know, we've been having some correspondences about the journey so far.

And, uh, that's a look at me, Louis, because I feel so cool that Jack Quaid wants to talk to me about video game. Incredibly cool, yeah. How does the little jingle go? Look at me, Louis. Yeah. And, uh, spoiler cast. I want to do a spoiler cast with us three. And then Tim's going to beat it also.

I'm going to. Before this baby it gets here. I'm going to. That is a very, it's a promise I can't make, but I'm making it. Yeah. I'm making it. I can't stop thinking about Silk Song Plus. Dude, I wish I could get there with it.

I started it when the craze was happening and I came back from traveling or whatever after like those initial playthrough started, played it for a stream and was just like, man, it's not working for like for my brain for some reason. I can't get there. That upsets me more than I think the, than your journey with Psychonauts too, honestly. Really? Yeah, because I think you should like Silk Song.

Like, it feels like you're bread and butter. But here's the thing, though, Metroidvania's aren't my bread and butter. I'm somebody who I think it's rare that I fall in love with a Metroidvania than I don't. Combat's so good. I do love this idea, though, Andy.

Yeah, and it's motivation for me. Yeah, stay on track. You're getting, you're like, I just need you to see it through. What I need to do is, I have a couple games I need to review coming up in the next couple weeks. Fuck, Metroid Prime 4 is coming out

within a month. Yeah. Yeah. Don't forget about the very important Kirby era writers. Oh, I'm not forgetting, Derek. Don't worry about that. Yeah. I'm not forgetting. There's a seven hour long direct coming soon. Yeah. So that definitely,

Metroid Prime, I don't know when we're going to get codes for that, but that is definitely like my biggest concern. Code singular. Timewide. Yeah, exactly. Code. But I have to do it. You have to do it for you, Andy. You have to do it, dude. Oh, man.

You have no idea the amount of peak you're about to witness. Yeah. Okay. It somehow just gets better. Well, I apologize for completely derailing this show multiple times. So now, let's talk about Pokemon. Sure. Andy, let's start with you.

Where am I with Pokemon Z to A? Mm-hmm. I am about 12 hours-ish, 10 hours-ish, somewhere around the, there. I hit a really, really large sort of area in the game where it's like, all right, that's a big progress mark for me. And then other reviews kind of just came into my life that I'm having to play right now. So unfortunately, stopped playing it. And I say unfortunately, because I am really enjoying Pokemon Z to A. I think it's so much fun. It's, it's what you would expect. And I have, for any reason out there that people don't like it,

I also have those same reasons when it comes to just, you know, the sort of cheap look in some areas when it comes to the reduced assets when it comes to the obvious corner cutting. But it's got such a charm to it. It's got such a weirdness to it. I haven't experienced weird characters like this

in a Pokemon game. I feel like in a while where like, I don't know, maybe there was something in Scarlin Violet with weird NPCs, but this game more than anything, because it is the journey of I have to fight the rank Z trainer,

beat that dude, now it's time for rank X and now it's rank, you know, like, notice how I stop because I forget what comes next. W? Yeah. Oh, I missed Y. Skip Y. Oh, there it is. Skip Y. I'll just say, I practice it. I can't talk. I got rattled. I practice this, like the idea of saying the

I'll do that backwards. Not because I'm going to drink and drive. I'm not. I'm not, but just in case. Just in case. Gotcha. I'm like, all right. Officer, I got.

I can't do it sober. So I feel like that's a terrible test. You never know if you're going to get hit by a like a sleep dart and you're going to have to like, you know, like I got. Oh, I got. All right. Z, Y, X, WV, U. In San Francisco, in the, the west side of the city, like the residential areas where I've lived my whole life. The, uh, on the, this side of the park like, like, past the Pascollingay Park, it's all

alphabetical. Like every street is alphabetical. And so it's like that, as a kid, was obsessed with that. Because it's like, now I'm like trying to think of it. And you always just trying to like think of how far the streets are or whatever. And you start doing the alphabet backwards forward, all that stuff. But it's always thrown me off of like, it starts at L. And it ends at W.

And I'm like, what are we doing here? But it's also weird because it goes like, I don't consider that first L like part of it because then it goes. No, no, you're right. I'm talking about the second L. Yeah, because it goes to I. Yeah. It starts at I.

But technically it starts on the other side of the park. Kind of. Because then you have your A, B, and C. Yeah, but there's just no D. Shout out to J.G in the YouTube chat. It says, this is a good episode. Y'all are making big content. Thank you, Jay, if you're from San Francisco, we're making content for you now.

Like, what the fuck if you're not for San Francisco, that's one of, I think, one of our biggest flaws. I'll tell you what. If you're going to commit to the alphabet, commits to the fucking alphabet. I'll tell you what. Yesterday, Nick Scarpino says, my car is back. in the shop, Andy, I need a ride home. Or can you like, at least just driving to your

apartment, then I'll Uber from there, so it's not a $50 Uber. So I say, yeah, no problem. And I did the same thing again as we're driving on 19th. Like, going through Golden Gate Park. I was like... So you're going through all of these? Look, look to the right. Would you ever guess that there's like a park in there?

Look at it. It just looks like woods. I would have assumed there's a goddamn Bigfoot living in there. It's just trees and all sorts of shit. Who would have known? So anyway, yes, the Pokemon Z-A. Legends, very, very good, very enjoyable, weird-ass characters, quirky-ass stuff. There's a lot of, I'm not sure how far Blessing got through. I barely touched it.

Okay, so there's just a lot of weird, funny NPCs that you are battling on your way as you rank up. And they are like the most random, they have the most random motivations. I think it's hilarious. It's the cartoon. and cute, yeah. Right? It's like, it's obviously, we watch the Pokemon anime,

and it's like, it's Ash going to the gyms. But in between gyms, he's going to a town and he meets this guy that is trying to be a skydiver. And you're like, I guess that's what this episode's about.

And like, it has that vibe with these, uh, with the battle royale. One of the dude says, when I get to rank A and become the Pokemon champion, I'm going to make it so that the only cars here in the city are taxis.

Whoa. He's like, I'm a taxi driver. Like, that's all he wants. And it's just like, it's so weird and goofy and the dialogue is funny. But I'm also having a lot of, a lot more fun with it because I am streaming it. And I am laughing with the chat and I am, you know, doing the voices for the characters.

And it's, it's a really, really good time. Someone has to. Huh? Someone has to. Someone has to. Exactly. I'm having a really good time with it so far. I want to get back to it.

I, I've been battling myself to not play it offstream because I want that sort of communal experience. And that's how much I'm enjoying it. Like I'm digging these little side quests. I'm digging the loop of, all right, time for the next rank battle. You got to go to the wild or you have to go to the battle zone first to get the ticket or whatever to then battle whoever's at the next rank. And that loop is really enjoyable. I'm having a lot of fun with it in addition to going to the wild zones. And I totally see how at first I was like, I mean, I have no reason to want to 100% this.

but as you go through it and you see that the rank one wild zone and rank two and rank three and rank four and rank five wild zones you've completed you've caught 100% of the Pokemon in one two and three

but four there's two missing it's like I gotta go get whoever's missing I want to go see who's missing there and then sometimes you have to wait till night and then up pops a ghastly or whatever it's like oh shit it's got all of those thrills that I loved from scarlet and violet

and you know gets you get you excited when you see one of those Pokemon on the wild. I got to go catch that. Yeah, I'm having a lot of fun with it. I think it's like such an enjoyable game. It's quirky. It's goofy. So much of it does not make sense,

but I'm here for the ride. Do you think you're going to complete the ride? Do you see yourself seeing this all the way to the end? 100%. I don't know if I'm going to beat it before the end of the year just with the way the rest of the year is stacking up. But yeah, I, a thousand percent do see myself eating it. And I mean, you might have already answered this question with what you just said.

But is there any chance this is a contender? No. I think the year's too stacked. Yeah. I really do. I think the year is so strong. And there are going to be a lot of games that I would have said at the time while playing them in April, May, or June going, this is an easy top tenor for me.

This is definitely making my top ten. And I, and then more stuff came out. And more and more stuff just keeps on being released. and more and more high quality stuff. So I don't see it making my top 10. It would have in the way that I put Violet in my top 10 that year that Violet came out because of the, because it being a more kind of traditional Pokemon experience,

having the different biomes, going to the ice zone for, going to the snowy zone for ice Pokemon and whatever, going to this volcanic area for those type of Pokemon. The city aspect is still like not my favorite, but I think I've way overshot how much I wasn't going to dig the city experience. I really thought I was just going to be like, and you are still just running around the same looking buildings all over the place, tiled textures against the wall all over the place. But I thought I was going to dislike that experience a lot more than I actually do.

I think it's like serviceable enough and makes me way more stoked for Gen 10, whatever, that's going to be. 10, baby. Bless, I know you don't have much to say about Pokemon Legends. My question you is, are you planning to give it any more time? Or are you kind of like, this isn't for me? I don't think it's for me. It's that weird thing where even as I hear you guys talk about it and I hear how much you're enjoying it, I'm not hearing things that necessarily speak to me for the kind of

Pokemon fan that I am. And I think maybe it's the combat system that just isn't speaking to me. I like the turn-based of how traditional Pokemon games go. I liked even the open world of Scarlet and Violet and how that function, how that that went. I really liked it, but I think there's something about being in the Switch 2 era, and I know that it's, you know, this game runs better than Scarlett did back on Switch 1 and all that stuff. There's something about it where booting it up, I played it at like the second half of a stream that I did weeks and weeks ago, and I played maybe about 30 minutes before I was like,

I just can't do this. Where I, it's the lack of voice acting. It's how, lo-fi isn't the word, but I guess just how non-modern it looks in a lot of like its visual direction and even like the art style isn't really speaking to me as much, which is funny because it worked so well last time around with Scarlet and Violet, but I don't know. Yeah, I think I hit my breaking point a little bit where I'm like, if I'm going to tolerate this, I have to be all the way in into like what the premise of the game is

and what the gameplay is and all that stuff. And for me, I just didn't have it in me. It's so funny to me how impressive some of the interiors look. And it's really only the interiors where like the interiors have like a depth and a kind of like not environmental fog, but there's like a fall off vision-wise or it's like, why does this room look so good for this game? And like even like small details in terms of just like wall patterns and stuff.

It reminds me of, um, sword and shield a little bit of just like, some of those environments outside looked like really good. And it was like, oh, man, it's been a while since we've had something like this. Some of the interiors reminded me of the pre-rendered backgrounds and like, Resident Evil games. I guess in terms of the shading and, like, textures and lighting work that they're doing. And then you walk outside and it's, yeah, it's the same tiling textures all over the place. There is a cool dude, bless that does collect any pokeballs that you errantly throw.

He'll be like, oh, dude, you, you know, because around the gate, you're supposed to be throwing your, your Pokemon at little crystals on the wall to break down things to collect or materials. But with the control scheme, I'm always just like accidentally throwing a polka ball. And just like throwing it into the ether. And it's just like, oh, there goes a great ball. But there's just random, these random view that always

stands around, um, uh, poca centers. So I was like, hey, come talk to me. He talked to me. He's like, hey, I got 11 polka balls that you fucked up and just threw to the, here they are. Returns. It's like, oh, thank you. Thanks for giving them. Oh, yeah, I love that. Yeah, that got rocks. Uh, Barrett.

I have no idea. how far you are in this game and what your thoughts are on it? What are they? I'm about 11 hours into Pokemon Legends Zah. I was very excited for this game as someone who is a big fan of Pokemon

X, Y, which was the generation that brought me back in. I loved being back in the, love the idea of being back in this region. And then also the premise, right? Like when they first revealed Pokemon Legends Zah, we were like, why is it named this, but then getting the, okay, here's this like battle rea out where you start at rank Z and you're working your way up to rank A as someone who is a long time defender of

Tony Hawk's Project 8, where you start at level 100 or whatever, and the whole thing is make it to Tony Hawks, like his top eight crew, he's going to bring into his team, you know, that is the coolest thing ever to me. And I was really into that idea for Zah, because, you know, because, because Legends Arceus, I liked what they were experimenting with, but I felt like it was a little too, not lose, but like unfocused in terms of like, I like being able to explore around, but I never felt like I had a real good tangential goal to build to.

And I like them sprucing that up here with, like, not going full on gym route, but the back and forth of like, okay, daytime, you're going out and exploring and catching all these mons. And then nighttime, it's time. for the Battle Royale, baby. I really love that premise, and it drives me fucking insane

that they do not stick with that premise. I hate, like, I just, spoilers for this game. I hate that I get to rank V, and they're like, let's rank you all the way up to rank F. And it's like, just commit to the premise, man. Like, what are we doing here?

And it feels like they write themselves into, like, they specifically wrote around, like, we don't, we're already so far into development in this game. We can't back away from this. idea. So let's just write a plot beat to get you to skip like half of what the selling point of this game is. And I just, I don't find it very interesting in terms of like all the other story stuff going on. I don't care about the characters, uh, which is unfortunate. It's fun to see some

characters, uh, back from, from X and Y in that, that universe. But as far as like this group of kids, I'm just like, oh man, I'm, I'm checked out. Uh, and then the other thing is like presentation. Like, I've always, is, I've always been more forgiving than you, Tim, in terms of the last couple of generations of like, okay, yeah, it doesn't have voice acting, but it still gets the point across. There are some moments in this game where I'm like, oh, I finally feel it. Like, this is starting to get ridiculous. Like, one of the first moments where you have the little flower Pokemon, I forget, where it does, like, its huge move.

And, like, that entire cut scene is presented as, like, this really almost high budget for a Pokemon game type of thing, and it's so weird that there's just nothing. Not even like a little reaction voice, like a link or something like that. It's just silent and it's just so weird. 10 to 12 hours in, I find myself waning. I don't know if I'm going to finish this game, which is the first time I can say that about a Pokemon game probably since I got back into the series, which is unfortunate. I don't know if I would have finished or wanted to come into the game

if I had to go through Z to A and even though I wasn't happy with that even though you're told it's gonna happen it's still happening I was like did you run out of a video game or what the fuck? Yeah I'm like what's going on here? I will say I hated that happening in the game and I'll be vague because obviously

like I feel like that is early enough that like at this point I think it's okay to talk about but I won't say exactly what happens after but what I will say is as upset as I was that they made that decision, I do think the rest of the game more than makes up for it, and I think takes it a direction that allows them to have each of the remaining ranks actually feel like a dungeon and story to themselves,

and it kind of like progresses in a way that's incredibly satisfying and would have been impossible to do for 26. And then when you get to the post game, any problem you might have had, completely addressed. Like there's a lot of good stuff going on, and it's like at that point, are you going to want to do it? I'll tell you right now. I don't.

Like, I don't. Like, I haven't picked up the game. Maybe I did like two times since I did the review. There's been a lot going on as well. But I am not incentivized to do the postgame stuff, but the post game stuff does address the criticisms I had about. You know, I just got a wild email three minutes ago, by the way. It's not good.

But Barrett, finish your thought before I get there. This affects you as well. No, I imagine I know what it is. It's about. But anyways, the, what is it? You're saying, so like the thing that I just got to was so it's the level skipping stuff. Like the wind was taken out from under myself. Are you saying the hump that I just got over?

Are you saying the rest of the game? There's juice there that might be worth it? Yes. And again, without going to in depth, what I'm saying is like, as cool and interesting as the first couple, ranks are like the Z and Y and X like as those oh this is nifty and whatever like D CBA are like so vastly superior to the beginning ones that it's like okay like they're they're doing something here and it feels way more fleshed out maybe they shouldn't have called a Z to A you know what I mean like like I feel like they're trying to be too cute with the XX exactly exactly because that's that really really really

kind of like it it takes the wind out of your sales it doesn't feel good because it it it feels like you just skip too far ahead, but like the loving care put into the higher ranks, it's like easily like the best parts of the game. So. But also if you never got to it, that's fine. So with this email. Unbeatable got delayed. This game was coming out tomorrow.

Tomorrow. It came in from PR at Playstack where they say, I know a lot of people have been very excited to get their hands on a beat, unbeatable. But this morning we have made the near impossible decision to delay the game to December 9th. insane I'm getting crazy I know this is abrupt

and sudden but we believe it's the right decision to make for the sake of the game they have a full statement that I'll open up and look at

get it right though I mean get it right it's just yeah the game was coming out tomorrow that's the crazy thing but me and Barrett were making plans

to possibly stream it like that's how yeah like that Colesiever yeah and so that that that sucks but yeah make the

make the right decision for the game it is one of those like you know I've been following that team, like, on socials for a bit. And I feel like it's possibly, like, not the game itself, but I do wonder this being a smaller dev.

I think this is their first, like, actual release outside of just, like, the white label demo and stuff. I do wonder them launching on console and stuff of, like, if this has to do with, like, cert. Well, they put the reason here, right? They're saying they're only saying it now because they only made the decision a few hours ago. There's a very, there's a very boring and frustrating reason.

QA hit a low repro progression blocker last night That's serious enough. It's considered unreleasible. Fixing this would require pushing the console release date back Because of cert timelines and not fixing this as well We refuse to do that. We're fixing it. Yeah. So fix the game. Yeah.

Make it work. I played the demo again this weekend just because I was so excited for it. I'm so fucking pumped for this game. I was so ready for it tomorrow. God damn it. But that's, you know, hey, that's one less thing I have to worry about right now to loop it back to Pokemon, right? Like with the wind being taken out of my sales, like I also have Absalom that I'm addicted to right now.

We have dispatch every Wednesday. I'm excited to play episodes five and six this evening. We can say it now. Like I have been playing Hira Warriors age of imprisonment that we'll talk about tomorrow. And then that was stressing me out with like unbeatable coming out tomorrow, Luminosa Rise next week. SpongeBob SquarePants Titans of the Tide. I know that's like a very, that's a very me thing. but like I fucking love the 3D SpongeBob games, right?

And so it's just like there's too much going on. So honestly, if one game gets put, one of my most anticipated games for the last couple of years gets pushed a month, maybe that actually helps me in terms of actually finishing ZA. We'll see. Have you ever played Nomain, not No Man Sky, No More Heroes? Because that's another game that has like the ranking 10 to one aspect. And they stick to it.

Yeah, they stick to it. Not in the sequel, but in the original one they do. I appreciate them sticking to that structure. I don't know if that, like, that world and that, like, story really, like, has taken me at all. I've seen so many trailers for those games. See, I feel like if I younger Barrett played no man. Why do we want to call No Man Scott?

No more heroes. Rattled. I don't know. I feel like if a younger Barrett played no more heroes, you would have fucked with it. You know, if you played at the same era where you played Bowley and Skate and shit, it'd be a U game. Yeah. Well, now you're washed.

Who can say? you know. Yeah. You know, unless maybe you go play it. Maybe you try it out. Don't fucking try to bully me. Instead of it.

Maybe you play it. Instead of punished snake, it's washed beard. Oh, man, everybody. Hey, we're going to be right back. Talking about a whole bunch of different games that, uh,

You beat Hades too. I beat Hades too. What does that mean to you? I rolled credits. Okay. I beat up fucking Cronos a bunch of times. I beat up the other guy upstairs a bunch of times. And I rolled story credits.

Now, I know there's still epilogue. There's still like the one of the curses or the fear level things that you can turn up the difficulty with that I've messed around with a little bit. But for the sake of rolling credits for my last couple of runs, rolled that back. So I could actually beat this game. Man, this game is, I haven't made the decision on whether this or Blueprints is my actual game of the year. But Hades 2 is there. This is very exciting for me to hear And a bit of a surprise

Because I know you've been loving Hades too But I kind of feel like it's been like In the background thing for you And you're just kind of like like working at it But I didn't I didn't expect you to have it this high Okay Yeah no I've been playing this in the shadows

Just like just working at this game Return to Shadow now Return to Shadow now Return to Shetka It's so It's crazy I think the crazier thing honestly Is how much

I enjoyed Hades one But it wasn't like my Oh this is the best game of all time kind of thing I appreciated many aspects about it. I understood why other people loved it so much, but I never hit that level with Hades 1. Hades 2, I know we've said this a million times,

but Hades 2 for me just fixes so any problem or issue or any weird thing I had with Hades 1, Hades 2 does away with. I didn't really like a lot of the dash attacks in Hades 1 and how that felt to even press the buttons for that. Hades 2 does away with that for the most part. It comes in some places, but it's not like a main mechanic. I have to issue an apology to,

Andy and the kind of funny community and the Hades community. You'd be casted. Oh, the casting is so good. We got him, boys. Guys, I don't know if you ever press the circle button in this game. Oh, but does it make a difference?

Oh, man. What I tell you, when you start upgrading those casts where it's like, yo, if you even step into this circle, you're getting fucked. It's crazy. You're taking more damage. So stop moving. A saw blade might come in

kill you. We had a, a great back and forth because I was like, bless, you saying you don't like Cassie, it's like me going like, yeah, I'm really digging,

playing tech in, but you know, I'm not a kicking guy. I like, punching mostly. I mean, that's not the same. And I was going,

I was so close to issuing a challenge of being like, let's speed run, who could get to the boss first. You can't use cast. I can use the whole thing. And we'll see how useful it is. I mean, I still might take you on that challenge,

But honestly, like, yeah, casting has changed the game for me. And it's like, it's one of those things where I'm understanding why they have that, like, is it called fear? Whatever system it is where you can upgrade the difficulty levels and like, you know, tinker a bit. I understand why they have that now. Because it's crazy how this game goes from, oh, man, I don't know if I'm getting past the second boss to, oh, I'm going to dog walk you. Crazy Opie. You know, like any boss that's coming at me now, that's not like one of the final bosses, even Kronos is getting dogwalked. Like I'm fucking destroying these motherfucked.

And so I really like the progression system of this game. It's kept me in. I like all the hub stuff. I think the way that they really refined and giving you the gardening stuff and given you like the fishing and the different activities you can do with characters and how they develop all that stuff. Really good. I saw a lot of people talking about the ending as being not as great.

And I think I see a little bit where they're coming from, but overall I still really like the ending. I'm not going to get into spoilers or anything. I think it's just the thing of Haiti Stu does such a great job of. of giving you the story via the characters and like, I think sprinkling in the story moments more so than being plot and story heavy, right? Journey. Yeah, the game doesn't yap at you.

The game is very much like, hey, we have a lot of story to tell, but it is so well integrated into the gameplay that you barely even notice that you're getting story when you're playing the game. Barrett? What's up Barrett? My two sense is like, I didn't think of the ending as like

bad or anything. I just, for me personally, I don't think the premise of Hades 2, is nearly as interesting as Hades 1. So I feel like that wrap up doesn't hit as hard because I think the ultimate goal of Hades 1 is much more personal that like I just don't feel that by the end of Hades 2. So I think that's where maybe some people are kind of feeling that of like, oh, wait, huh. I guess I could understand that for sure.

Because yeah, for me it was like after the ending. And I was like, oh, there's a lot of story here. And I didn't think, I think that's when I first thought about the fact that, oh, I don't really think about the plot to this game that much. I think about the overall goals, but you get to the ending, and it's almost like a shift of, oh, okay, all this stuff is happening. All right, cool. I don't

know if I care as much about the ending of this game, but it's not, I didn't finish it and go, damn, what the fuck? They took the wind out of my sales or anything like that. I think it's just the fact that I was never that invested into, like, some of the storytelling they were doing on that side, even though I really like the characters and the relationships and all that stuff.

So, yeah, really adored the game. I'm super pumped to beat it now because it's something I never rolled credits on. I don't, I've mentioned it before, but I made just the dumb mistake of trying to challenge myself more with the heat system or the fear system. And it's like, I haven't even beat the game yet.

Just beat the game first, then you can do it with challenge stuff. But there was a patch last week where they've added a whole bunch of stuff narratively and changed some stuff. And so like, I did not hear. There's a lot of stuff that is redacted in the notes that I will redact here purposely,

because I don't even want to spoil myself, but it's like added new events with blank on the path to blank, added new events with blank, and after the true ending, added more contextual voice lines for millenni and Hecatee in certain situations. Skilia now reveals blank, there's like a lot more stuff that they are adding to maybe fill in gaps more where people may have had issues.

Maybe those problems don't fix issues for everybody else, but I do feel like I'm almost, once I beat it, maybe kind of getting the Death Stranding Directors Cut experience where it's like, oh, I'm getting kind of an experience that's a bit more filled out now when I finally do beat it. Hell yeah.

Love to hear it. When are you beating this game? I'm beating it. I don't know when. How many times do you need to beat down and how many times you need to beat up? I don't want to know. Okay, okay.

I won't even talk. I know I'm close. I know I do want to know. Off camera, let me know. Yeah. That'll... Give him a little select. My hours are at 56 in this game if that helps.

Okay. But that's including the beta or whatever. Yeah. I mean, I think I'm at like 45 or something like that. Sent him Slack. Let him react to it. I'm going to react to him reacting to the number. See, I don't even know if I know the numbers.

What, for Andy? No, for like how many times you got to beat each boss? Oh, I think it's down and how... Don't say it. Oh, okay, okay. Slack me. That's what we're saying. Okay.

Yeah, yeah. How many down and how many else is what I need to know. But yeah, no, I fucking adore this game. Yeah. Like, I can't wait to get back to it. But yeah, I'm not going to get back to it. I keep playing. Like, this is the, Hades 2 is the thing that I'm playing every single night, like on the

Steve-neck, which is fantastic. Andy, let's jump to you. Speaking of God. I've been playing a lot of stuff recently, but I do want to point out a game that I really, really, really want to get to. Hopefully by the end of the year, it's a single- player to a four-player co-op roguelight action

adventure type thing called Godbreakers. I played a demo for it on Steam a while back during early access. The game fully came out. It's got all the hooks of why we love rogulights. It has a really kind of cool and appealing

art style with awesome telegraphed boss fight or boss attacks and patterns and things like that. and yeah it's one to four player if you want to eventually play through it so I'm this is one that I really really want to get to because I had so much fun with the demo I'm just so packed and filled with a bunch of different video games right now it's like will I have time to get to it I really really want to because I had such a freaking blast with it and you know the the level up system and the way that the powers and abilities progress are super fun and why we love

rogue lights and you know I kept on I kept on digging a bless whatever I'd get to the three choices I'm like oh this is just so my shit right here and and now I get more chain damage on enemies and when that does happen then I get a percentage of getting health back like all the stuff why we all the reasons why we love rogolites

are all here and yeah this is one that I really really want to get to it's like I don't it's a game that I don't even know who makes it like it just kind of popped out of nowhere I saw the image for it on Seam Nexus and was like whoa this looks kind of high quality.

And it's a developer called To the Sky, published by Thunderful. Oh, shit. Okay. But when I was in there, I was like, whoa, this is like way higher quality than I expected. And it was just, it was a lot of fun. And one that I want to get to eventually, hopefully, before the end of the year happens. And then games that I've been playing recently, I mean, there's a buttload of them. I did start dispatch last night.

Nice. Played episodes one and two. I had a real good time with it. leak out. That's a good game. Man, I'm playing, it's like, you know, I had to pause it just be like, man, this, this writing is so good. Dude, writing is good, art style is good. The, you know, just little quips here and there that could have easily been skipped, but they just add so much character to these people in the world and the voice, Aaron Paul's killing it. Yeah. My plan is play this on, at least start it with G this weekend. I'm already

sold. I know the writing's great. I know the voice. What's the game? What's the game play? The gameplay is a management sort of sim. When you hop into the dispatching, you have six heroes that are part of your crew. You are kind of like the team lead. And

you see a map and then a little emergency will pop up and there's always a little cool down timer and you click the little emergency and it'll say a cat got stuck in a tree and it's like all right, well it's telling me the person has to climb 45 foot tall tree. That's going to require

a hero with a lot of mobility. Which heroes have good mobility, a higher score there? Which heroes are going to have the best chance to make this a successful mission? Let me send them out there and put them in the best spot to have them succeed. And in some,

you know, in episodes one and two, you get into some interesting moments where it's like, well, this hero has a very conditional thing where if you put them in the first slot, they unlock an extra perk or something. It's like, oh, cool, because you can send multiple heroes out on one quest. And maybe the quest is, well, you need heroes that are going to be able to withstand a lot of damage,

but also heroes that can outsmart. So it's like, all right, I'm looking for health and intellect. And got to send those heroes out there. And then it'll kind of pop up with neat little surprises. It's like more than serviceable, the gameplay. Like this part is what I was You know Hoping I'd get a little bit more from

But it's still more than what I was expected It's weird It's so deep that you would think those segments Would be even longer than they are But I think in order to kind of keep the story going And keep it flowing right They keep it concise to where An episode of this game is no longer than 45 minutes

And maybe about like 15 of the minutes 15 to 20 minutes We're spent doing this segment right here And the computer management stuff The other half of the gameplay is straight up like you're making dialogue decisions and doing quick time events while the cinematics are going i did turn off the quick time events and then kind of regretted it but then was overall happy with the decision

yeah because when the quick time events when you turn off the quick time events person jumps at your character and slow down and you're like oh this is why i'm supposed to be hitting the button but it's still doing it even though i turned it off um but it's it's just wildly impressive i was um when we're talking about like the gameplay side of it, right? Like, one thing I love about choose a road adventure games or narrative storytelling games is when the choices feel like they matter, right? And like,

I know Greg was talking about Walking Dead yesterday, and Walking Dead, I think, was one of those games that really up the A&T as far as what you can do with that. And I'll then credit life is strange for even going with that, right? This game, in episode four, I think gave me a choice where I had to pause the game and sit there and be like,

ah, I don't know where I'm going with this. And then at the end of the day, I was like, I know where I'm going with this. But I think the writing here is so strong and the story choices here are so strong that, you know, earlier on, I could have seen this being just a, oh, you could have made this at Amazon show

because the, you know, the animation quality is so good and the acting is so good. But the decisions that they continue to give you in the game end up being so good that I'm like, no, I'm glad this is a video game. Like, I'm glad I'm involved

in deciding what the character is doing here. Way more raunchy than I was expecting. Yeah. It's definitely like Invincible, the boys type vibes. in terms of the, you know, swear words and the profanity and gore and sexual innuendos. But it's, it's, it, the writing is so unbelievably strong. Like, it's, thinking back to other TV shows I've watched in the past couple of years,

it's like, oh man, this is so much more impressive than a lot of MCU shows I've watched. Not like Loki or whatever, but, you know, like just from moment to moment from the way the characters have little back and forth the way they are building report the way they obviously have reports dude it's so impressive I'm so impressed so excited there's such good analogs to the existing superhero stuff that we get

like obviously they're doing kind of like a suicide squad type of thing when you look at the Z team and them being a group of misfits that were villains that you know you're dispatching as heroes but then a lot of them have very direct analogs to okay this guy's Iron Man this person's Warner Woman

this person is what's her name, Sue Storm, this person, like... Sandman. Yeah, they all have a comparison or like a parody. What are you thinking of? It wasn't, no, it was Sandman. Because one of the enemies, one of the dudes on your squad, I was like, oh, this looks like...

This looks like one of the dudes from Batman, the animated series. And I was like, is it a mix of these things? They're like, no, I'm pretty sure it's just... Clayface, I fucked it up. Yeah, Gallum looks like Clayface. I fucked it up again, yeah. But even though they're all like, okay, well, this is obviously this person.

and it all still feels original at the same time. Like, I care about these characters as individuals. They have unique things that they bring to the table. It reminds me, I mean, I think it's in that same conversation as the boys and invincible of what it reminds me of, and the amount of quality that it brings to that. Yeah, very, very good. Final episodes out next week.

I think we're planning on doing a full review and spoiler cast for that. So, yeah. Look out for that. Very cool. I've also been playing a little Metroidvania called Metroid Prime Master. And Andy.

Yeah. This warms my heart. I watched a game's daily yesterday. I heard you and Gray talking about Metric Prime 4 and you talked about your experience of Metro Primer and Master that warned my heart a couple years ago when you fell in love with it. Where are you at with this, Andy?

Because I don't know. I'm about eight to ten hours in, been playing like about an hour or night. I would love it a lot more if I weren't spoiled by the modern conveniences of, you know, quality of life changes. I wish I could play this on PC with mods,

with fast travel mods, things of that nature, because there have been a couple of things that have really bummed me out by the game design and the way that when I, I think back to my first time playing Super Mario Sunshine, and I hit a game over screen, I was like, what? Oh my God, yeah, I haven't hit a game over in 25 years.

And now I just have to start. Now I'm back at the start menu. Like, what the fuck, you know? And there have been a couple of moments where I am playing the game. I played for about in 45 minutes, died, went all the way back to the start. And I was like, ooh, all right. Well, I just lost the last 45 minutes of progress because I didn't save. And so I'm just going to turn it off for the night because that sucks, you know.

But a lot of that is just, you know, the game was built that way back in the day. And, you know, things have changed now with, you know, giving. a lot of people of auto save and fast travel, more fast travel spots. But I am, I mean, I think the overall game design is, it is exemplary. Like, it is, it is so strong and so damn good and interesting. And I did hit another kind of frustrating moment the other day where I unlocked the little ball speed boost. and then proceeded to die about 45 minutes later and I was like all right I got like that sucks

came back the next night started back up again traveled all the way back to the spot that I was trying to go to where I knew there was a ramp available I don't have my ball speed it didn't save the fact that I got the ball speed even though like oh I had to go back and get the ball speed like oof that could have been like a make or break moment for me

just with the amount of time I'm able to put towards this, you know. And, but I'm like, I'm still making my way through it because I'm enjoying it a lot. And I thought I'd be a lot less into the lock on shooting. And it's, it's, it's, I mean, I think the scanning is cool and so, but it's like, once I realize this game is not about accuracy, this game is about timing and the, the whole shooting is not about trying to be pinpoint accurate thing because it's, it's locking on for you. It's more about shooting at the right time.

and when that enemy pops up, you want, that's when you kind of let go of that fully charged shot or whatever. It's awesome. Games great. Music's so cool. The vibes are awesome.

I am kind of stuck in the moment right now where I got to the snow spot and I've been going back to other ramp areas, but so far on my map, there aren't any question marks. And I'm like, man, there's got to be a little,

a little bombs ball spot that I got to go at. But right now I'm kind of stuck. And I'm probably going to Google what to do next because I just don't know where to go right now. Why are you playing it now? Is this a gearing-up before? Because four is coming out. And it's like I need to also when, you know, I know it deserves a spot on a top 100. And I know that it has so much, you know, there's so much legacy to this video game.

And I really, really want to get there and see it through. Because especially after blessing saying like, I'm not a Metro of any guy. Blessing Bia was like, yeah, I totally see why. And I go to a video game. I'm in the same spot too where it's like, yep, you guys have talked this up for a long time with very good reason because it is a very awesome, awesomely crafted video game. And it looks and runs great on Switch 2. Yep.

Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. I want to run through a bunch of super chats before we end the show here. Jackson says, ZA's been a blast. I love its battle system. This is the Pokemon game I've played the most of. I haven't beat it yet, but I want to. The most of.

Wow. Resolut says, Kingdom Hearts 4. greater than Fawn Fantasy 7 remake 3 I'm taking much from aware when we're seeing that I highly doubt we see that at a game awards but there has been a big shift recently

of some of the bigger Japanese companies focusing less on PlayStation and more on Jeff or other things like the Resident Evil games like back of the day used to be a sure thing that oh the next game is going to be talked about a PlayStation now kind of feels like that those days are over and I think we're starting

to see that with Square as well like most of the seven series announcements, they started on the PlayStation side of things, and then they slowly turned into Summer Game Fest and Game Awards. So. For the Twitch chat that may have missed it, or any YouTube chat who may have missed it, I was talking about Metrood Prime remastered. The remaster that came out three years ago, four years ago?

Two years ago? Two years, okay. So, but again, for Switch two owners, it doesn't go like full 4K resolution, but the frame rate was always, unlocked and it runs super smoothly and it looks awesome and the all of the

the art assets were like totally remade and there's a new lighting system. The game looks so good. Yeah. John Van Pelt says I felt betrayed by the twist in Final Fantasy 7 remake too. Fair. Inosurah says you guys know Final Fantasy 7 machine abridged. It's

hilarious. I do not. I don't know what that is. I'm aware of that one. Never heard of it. But I'd expect you to know about it. I mean, I'm like YouTube video that can't. Yeah, definitely. No, yeah. I don't know it. Bam says voice acting, Digimon got,

oh, voice acting, Digimon got you. The game feels like anime. I've heard nothing but good things about, about Digimon, but a lot of it is just the IP. I don't, I don't get stoked about Agumon and Wargremon.

I just, like, that's just not. Don't get me to start with Wargremont. I mean, I love, you know, look,

Ty from Digimon. Goggles. Is the reason why I just wanted goggles and wanted to wear them all the time as a kid. Very, very formative for me. Just like, I got to wear these goggles and spike my hair up like tie. But Pokemon is Pokemon. That's the thing that's hard to communicate. Because, like, yeah, I see the people be like, you know, play Digimon, play Digimon. It has XYZ thing. It's going to do it. But like, the problem is that it's not Pokemon. Yeah. Like, that's the thing for me. These kids don't understand Gururamon. They don't get it. They don't get it.

Andy Cortez and where Garururam? Like, yeah, it just makes sense. Okay. I mean, Everything you say about Wargremont, Andy, Wargrey Mon is the coolest thing of the world, and you would think so. But here's the, I get it. I'm not telling you to play this game. I'm actually telling you. The game, and what I'm saying, very different worlds.

All right? I know all these dudes. I know them. They're sick as hell. I don't get stoked about them, though. I don't get stoked about them in this game, especially, again, I know people who are in the game,

who do some voice acting in the game, and that's cool. Why are you doing it, Trump? But like, I've heard it's very good. It's not from the anime. To be clear, disagreeing with what you're saying,

I don't think people are playing this game because it's Digimon. I think they're playing it because it's... Because it's good. It's like a solid J.R.A.G. And I think that that's the disconnect for me where I'm just like, there's a lot of good JRP's out there

and I ain't touching them. Yeah. I played three hours of Digimon Story Time Stranger at Pax and thought it was really cool. I actually really, really appreciate what they set up in that game, but I played enough of it to know

that it's not really what I'm looking at. for right now. Yeah. Bam also says, just real quick, also who's going to manage my Jurassic Park in Evolution 3? You know,

I'm on Isla, I'm on Isla Sorna right now, Tim. I just got Ankleas horses after a big dig site visit in Africa. Big what? Dig site.

Oh, okay. Keep going. Massive dig site. Yeah, my park is looking glorious so far. Bam, says any news on physical edition of Dispatch, not that I know of but I

I'm sure they're going to team up with somebody if not just do it themselves yeah tell you what I bought yesterday pre-order that physical edition for nine souls Barrett I said that's Barrett switch fan gamer I was thinking about it Silk song's coming soon

they said it was coming yeah it was well early 2026 is what they're saying but like he said that I'm waiting I'm waiting for them Hades two physical as well I know yeah problem with the Hades two though Andy the box yeah oh switch

well he's two right now only switch on the console side right so the physical they're only releasing the switch two edition which could play but at least the spine will look cool the spine's gonna look cool but there's so many words

so many words there's so many words second row says haven't had the same experience with Andy with Metroid has me waiting before being all in on beyond yeah I would definitely wait

If you don't know you're going to like Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, I would entirely wait to see what other people say and then all that stuff. Like I, this is more than likely not going to reinvent the wheel. So, you're either in or you're not. But after playing like Metroid dread didn't have those inconveniences where it's like you weren't,

if you weren't remembering to save all the time the way you were required to an old video games, it wasn't making you lose an hour and a half of stuff. Like it was auto saving. at least had that. And if I didn't have two, about two separate hour long progress losses, then I

would be way, way, way higher on it, even though I'm already pretty high on Metro Prime rematchezer. Yeah, I'm more saying like the Metroid Series, Metroid Prime series, there's obviously a lot of similarities, but they are very different. And I think that there's a lot of the enhancements that have been made over time for Metroidvania's

were in dread. Right. I think with Prime, some of those quality of life things I think will be there, but I'm just saying like the gameplay and stuff, it's like it's going to be metric prime. And like the motorcycle stuff, if that doesn't look cool to you, it's not going to get cooler. I don't think. Do you not feel like this is the version of Nintendo that would reinvents not the right word, but I guess give us the most peak version of a Metroid Prime? Because we talk about that. You don't think so? It's not this.

It's not this. We talk about that with every other Nintendo game that's not a sports game, right? Like, damn, we got tears. We got Odyssey. You know, we got fucking. Kirby the forgotten land and like the Mario parties, right? It feels like this is the generation of Nintendo giving us the best version or at least one of the best versions of each of their like core games.

I would have bet money that this one was going to be it. But the moment that they showed this the week before the Switch 2 announcement and it was Metroid Prime 4 and it looked the way it did which I love the way it looks. I can't wait for this game. I am

so hyped. But it's like this is not. that thing. This is not that at all. This is Metroid Prime for. Fair enough. Zeke Speak says Andy for me, Prime is a perfect practice of slowing down and enjoying the ride. Get Lost, vibe to the music, pop and edible and chill kind of game. I think I'd, I think I would get too lost if I'd pop to Gumbugged. If I'd yeah. And it totally is by I agree with you wholeheartedly as much as I love and think Metro Prime's a 10 like the backtracking for like when you die the game overs and like the save stuff like I hate that stuff and like we're just we're past that now I wish those I wish they included like those quality of life stuff or just at least auto save would have

been awesome yeah um well everyone that's been the kind of funny games cast we have a lot more to talk about with video games and guess what we're gonna do that each and every day live here on twitch tv slash kind of funny games and youtube.com slash kind of funny games right now we're about to do the kind of funny podcast of just a few short minutes and then a fun stream after that but until next time i love you all Thank you.
