Jr. I'm joined by

the Nitro Rifle. Wave Poppy. I'm trying to do the wave. I'm trying to do the wave. I'm trying to do the wave. Yeah, but you started from the middle. Like, I didn't get a chance to start. Well, because I wanted to like, you know, I wanted to show you what the heck I was doing. So let's start it real quick. Let's start. We've got to get the wide, though. I'm going to get the wide here. There you go. Oh, man, I know the audio listeners

will love him this one. Look at that. Audio listeners are based at it. Is this because they're doing break dancing in the Olympics right now? Yeah, well, hey, they don't like, they don't like it being called Are they not calling it break dancing? They want breaking. Good for them. I assume they were calling it break dancing because that's the mainstream way to call it.

But yeah, break dancers don't like it being called breakd. They don't like, don't call it. Either breaking or be-boying. You got to call it. Yeah, we are B-boys, we are B-girls. Do not call it break dancing, Tim. Good for the Olympics. How you dare offend them?

I was watching it. Well, I think I've missed the finals already for the women's breaking division. But I was watching while prepping KFGD and like, I'm getting back into it, man. The streets need, me. Send me your best dance classes in San Francisco. I saw some videos out. I was like, Blessing needs to represent. Because yesterday on the kind of funny podcast, we talked about what we would, like,

you know, Alex Cozy Bear submitted a great question, which was, what would you pick if you were given, like, four years of the best training possible? And I, when I looked at, I was like, what would benefit me best as well if I could just be like, what could I do decently enough in with four years of training? I was like, golf would be awesome. Because I'm not terrible at golf. I'm pretty bad, but like not, it's not me hopping into something for the first time. I'm not suddenly downhill skiing, you know what I mean?

And I'm not breaking. Polvooting hog, though, the hog. Do you know this plus? At the Olympics, there's an event where you ski and shoot. No. You do like you're downhill skiing. You're doing like a crazy thing. And you get to the end, bow and arrow.

No. Yeah. You got to kill a man. What's not bow and arrow? Some Nathan Drake shit. Crazy. Is it a bowener? I think it's a bowener.

I think it's a bone arrow. I think it's a bone arrow. I think it's a bone arrow. I think it's a bone arrow. guns to the Olympics. Yeah. Because I feel like every other day I see a new screenshot of a man with a gun. Yeah.

I'm like, what's going on to the Olympics? But yeah, so anyway, I picked golf from mine. I was like, man, after watching this video, we need blessing to represent America. Oh, for sure, I'll pick breaking. I think breaking is, I would pick, actually, I would pick soccer. Oh, it is a rifle, my bet. Because if you're an Olympic, like, level soccer player, then you're going to become, like, just a world celebrity and very rich.

But if not soccer, I am picking breaking. Because that is the most, most, you want to be physically fit. Breaking works out every single muscle you. have. Like there's no muscle that's untouched by breaking. And then also it's just fucking cool and fun. And like it is there is a cultural aspect to breaking that is like in touch with the streets. You know what I mean? Like cool, you have your little, you're running community if you're in Sprint or you have your little boxing community if you're a boxer or maybe you're LeBron James. But like breaking is like, oh man, I don't know, man, you're just connected with the people.

You come back to the country. I got a gold medal for this country. My one of my favorite things in my life is blessed getting one cocktail in them and a dance. It happens every time. It sucks because then the next day when I'm sobered up, there's always a video. There's always a video. And I watch the video and I'm like, ah, God. But it turns into a different fucking beast, not even a person. You got to understand bless.

Tim, he needs to understand this. His worst, quote unquote, moments on the dance floor are the coolest shit that we've ever seen. Ever seen? Like, there's a dominance. And like, you just, it is yours. Like, they're not just the dance floor. The surrounding miles of that dance floor become blessings. Everybody, like, it's like the movies.

It just turns into a circle. And Blessing just, he fucking eats it up. And he doesn't walk in there. He does this fun little move in there. You know what I mean? You got to set the tone. I've never seen anybody more confident than blessing in the center of a dance circle. It's so cool to me because it was a guy who had a very heavy influence.

He was a high school friend of my brothers. And he had a, my brother, he had invited him to the house and he would bring like the little cardboard mat. and he had a little beanie and he would do headspins and he was like doing break dancing back before I knew it was called breaking when I was like in elementary school I was like this good dude's the coolest guy

so I wanted to be I wanted to do the same thing and I would try to do windmills I always hit my hip on the ground and it was really really hurt but I like instilled for me from a young age was like this is the cool shit of all time I'll never be able to do it of course across the table

the little Croy poppy Tim well fun Geddies Hey everybody hey we're gonna have a good show today we're having had a great games daily Let's keep that energy going. Let's never seen Titanic. We'll talk about that later. I've also never seen Castaway.

What? They found it. Oh, because the Paramount, the whole Paramount thing. That's what they were talking. Okay, I forget who I was on a Discord call with, but they were like, man, Paramount almost screwed the pooch on that one. Screwed the pooch. So what?

I got to line up my Nolan. watch through with that. Yeah. All right. Fair enough. I'm excited. I mean, we got to turn this into something. This is so exciting.

We're on YouTube with the Kind of Funny Membership. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, and Delaney Twining. Today we're brought to you by Monster Hunter Now and Better Help, but we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's start with topic of the show. Talks. We're doing a draft.

It is the Star. Star Wars video game draft because Star Wars Outlaws comes out in how many days Tim? 21. In 21 days. And so we're gearing up to get into a Star Wars mode. And so this episode is going to be looking back, celebrating Star Wars, talking about the best Star Wars. Each of us picking out Star Wars games to add to a roster of games. And so the way we're going to do this, this is a draft.

We're going to pick five games each. And the goal is just to create the best roster of Star Wars games. The best Star Wars games. Not our nostalgic favorites. Not like, oh, we love it even though it's not good. We're talking about the best. The best. And we're going to let the audience decide. At the end of this episode, Barrett's going to put up a strawful.

Maybe we'll even put up a Twitter poll and let the entire community decide who here has the best roster of Star Wars games. Maybe we'll pull Strauss as he goes first. I got a wheel of names. Oh, okay. The wheel of names. I got the wheel of names. So we're going to each draft one at a time. You can each pick five games each.

We are doing a snake draft, which means we're going to go down in the row, and then the last person goes again, and then we come back around the row. You know what a snake draft is. And then at the end, the audience decides. Do we have any questions? Those are all the rules that have written down here.

No, I feel like that's great. It's just this is going to be challenging. You think so? I think so, because if we're just talking best, that doesn't necessarily mean what we think is the best. We're trying to now play. There's a game here. See, I'm playing to the audience.

That's all about the game. Because I do think it's the fun thing of I was having this conversation yesterday with Roger and Barrett about rules or how we should approach this or what the premise should be. And I part of me wondered if we should like add some more sauce to it. Because my fear was that I could just open up Metacritic and work my way down. But then I started thinking about it of like do I want like I feel like if I did that, I might end up with some samey games. Is that going to work for the audience? Does the audience prefer variety? Yeah.

Right. Do I need two act, two or three action games? Should I add in? Maybe a vehicle game in there somewhere. Yes, exactly. You want to have a diverse cast of video games. You don't want to just have a bunch of racing games in there, you know? Exactly.

And so on my wheel of names, I have three names here. I got blessing Andy and Tim. Wow. You want to show the camera? Oh, yeah, for fairness. Yeah. All right. Make sure you're not cheating.

And so I'm going to click the spin to see who goes first. Okay. Hey. So close. So we're going to start off with Andy. And then I'm going to delete Andy's name and figure out who goes second. Oh, it does it automatically. There you go.

All right. Let's figure out who goes second. Between me and Tim. Tim. There we go. All right. So we're starting with Andy. We're going Tim.

And then we're going me. I mean, this is not bad for you, Bluss. This is bad for me. I'm getting bone zoned. I mean, you know, I think going third is great because there's only three people here and you go back to back. And those eight people going last, not great. Going last one, your third is pretty good because you get a little back to backer. Did anybody here do, like, any prep?

I mean, I just know. I didn't really. Like, I was looking at a list of Star Wars games yesterday just to see, like, how many games should be draft. But even then, I'm like, I don't know what my number one draft pick is. I mean, I know what my number one and two and three are. I think after that it starts getting a little bit, a little hazier. But the problem there, too, is, what does our audience care about?

Because Star Wars games, the entire history of video games has Star Wars games. You know what I mean? You want to play to the audience like I'm about to do right now because everybody knows I love a good turn-based game.

I love strategy. I love sitting there. I hate you so much. I love waiting my turn. I love strategizing what I am to pick and whether I can throw my lightsaber at this gentleman over here.

Like what? Republic do you like it? Yeah, exactly. And do I want it in the daytime? No, maybe not night. I think night sounds good. I'm going with Cotor Night to the Old Republic gamers. Come out. It's so easy. I mean, it's it, right? That's the number one. That's the easiest one to pick. Is that still the easy number one? Yeah. I think with audience and with fans, again, I'm not playing to you. I'm not playing to my base right now. I just know that that's easily the number one pick. It was like Trump being in a blue state. Yeah, exactly, exactly. It's like, what the point?

The thing about Cotor is, while the game might not hold up today because people like Andy sometimes don't like turn-based games at all of that. The thing is Cotor's story and characters. It is probably the best example of a Star Wars video game character becoming so much part of the Star Wars canon. It's not canon anymore. But I feel like Cotor went beyond just being a, video game and became part of Star Wars

in a way that I don't know that any other of the games have actually achieved maybe some of the more recent ones, but I was gonna say, I feel like your first pick which, if I'm guessing right, might be one of those games that has. It might be. It might be. What you're going with? So that's the thing, bless it is one of those

games. But which one? But which one? I'm surprised that you don't know which one. I mean, I know which one I would choose but I feel I feel like I gotta go Star Wars Jedi fall in order Really?

Yeah I think that's the one that more people Rock with Interesting That's fast to survive Why do you feel that way? I feel like

I really feel like The performance issues in Star Wars Survivor soured so many people on it that I mean I know handfuls of people That didn't even see it through to the end

because of performance stuff. I'm one of those people. Yeah. And you too, right? No. No, I'd be, well, he had to get a really expensive PC to do it. I waited, I waited till the end of the year for them to fix the thing.

Yeah, but even my friend, Curran, like, he, he would love Star Wars and love Star Wars games. Like, he was having problems with it. Like, to this day, I don't think he's beating the game. It only required a $4,000 PC.

And then when I tried playing it on PS5, a crash within five minutes, but also when it would try to do 60 frames per second, that sucker would drop to about like 480p, it looked like. It was just real bad. A very good video game though. Let me tell you.

Like what those story moments in that game, the twist the turns, shocking stuff. But yeah, my pick is fall in order. Wow. That brings it to me. And I'm in a good place to get two picks back to back. The sucky thing is those were the two picks that I was thinking of like, okay, well, if I'm starting off, my first or second pick needs to be either Knights of the Old Republic or Star Wars, Jedi, I was leaning towards Jedi Survivor

until you just made that argument. And it's a good argument. And the thing that I'm scared of right now is picking Survivor and then automatically being put in a place where people are like, oh, well, that's not as good as Tim's pick. So I feel like I got to go for the outside

that specific franchise. Barrett, while Blessing thinks about this, is it possible for you to bring up a little Excel spreadsheet behind us? Not behind you. I'm gonna use it as like a kind of B-roll, but I'm gonna... You're the good. I'm already on it.

I'm also, I mean, are you looking for like just the games written out? Because I have it in the dock. That's lovely. I'll do that. I mean, I'm at Crossroads. He's at a, me, me, have the Crossroads. So you won't be lonely.

You at the crossroads. Am I allowed to consult with Barrett about what games you will like or not? No. I feel like if you guys want to do that, you guys get, you each get one consulting. Oh, like a call, like a, Phone a friend. Phone a barrett. Yeah.

This is your first pick. Yeah, but you guys put me in a weird place. Because my mind goes to the Jedi Survivor or Knights of the Old Republic too. Okay. And I don't know if that automatically puts me behind. But if I go,

I can pick both of those. And then I have, at the very least, like I have both those bases covered. You'd have a very strong. Yeah. I don't know, I don't even feel like

yeah, consult me on this one. I'm going to go. I'm going to start with Jedi Survivor. Damn it. Because I do think it's the thing of, yes, it's buggy. And, like, had performance issues. Star Wars Jedi Fall in Order also had performance issues.

I remember that being one of the main talking points about it. And I do think there's the thing of when it comes to performance issues in games, oftentimes people just don't remember them. Like, as time goes, it's been a year since Jedi Survivor. And, like, if I ask people about that game, I don't know if one of the top things they're mentioning about it are the performance issues off the bat. I think they're talking about like the story. I think they're talking about how open,

how much more open those levels were. Getting your first lightsaber. Getting your first lightsaber. The platforming level where you're like dashing through the portals and shit, right? I think those are the moments that stick out more. I think people have, are a bit forgetful when it comes to bugs and not just in this game, in games in general.

I also think just even more point of why I chose Fallen Order Over Survivor. I feel like the majority of people lean towards the first game and like kind of like judge sequels more harsh, where it's like it's just more of the same and I feel like that's like a common criticism that I feel like Turner Survivor in many ways is just more of the same but you either love that or don't

But if you think they expanded it I would actually argue against that to me For Survivor like for me personally In terms of story I didn't love it as much As the first one In terms of it being a sequel gameplay And design wise I think it actually did step up Its game compared to follow

I think you care more than most people though Like you you get into the Duffy of like making that argument and I totally agree with what you're saying but I feel like to just mainstream people Survivor to Fallen Order is the same thing as Spider-Man 2 to Spider-Man 1. Oh, I don't think I don't think I don't think I think the difference between Survivor and Fallen Order are a bit more apparent. As far as just a way like more open game as far as that exploration especially when

you get to what's the name of that planet? Bobo Cobo Cobo Once you get to Cobo right like there it's there's an open area that big open zone The big open zone, you got the bar, you come back to you, you play some of them bar games of people. Yeah, part one is definitely, feels a bit more linear. And the open zones you're exploring are definitely a lot more condensed. And I do like the sabres you get in Survivor, right? Like the different stances you have where you have like the kind of the great sword stance with like the, the hilted lightsaber.

And then you have the more, like the more, I forget what the more quicker one was. But like they basically, the jewel, or the jewel, yeah. I like that stuff. Also, they took the customization to another level when it comes to lightsabers and a little BD1. And even just Cal, you know? Like, I know he's not like a creator character, but that game, you could really make Cal your own, which was also cool.

For my second pick. First game was just ponchos. Yeah. For my second pick, I am going Star Wars, Knights of the Old Republic too, because I, too, like Andy, big fan of these games. Shut up. Played him so much. I love the turn-based combat.

I love being a knight, especially during that era of the old republic. Yeah. One of my favorite Star Wars eras. Uh-huh. Yeah. And I know people love this game. And so that's my pick.

That's when Democry's use, was at an all-time high or low, depending on how you're looking at. Depending on what side you're on. Exactly. Whether it be the Sith or the last half full, you know. Tim Getty's direct to you. Your second pick.

Star Wars. Battlefront. God damn it. I really wanted to pick it. Okay. too. Wow. That's good. Yeah. That's a great pick.

Playing to the people, everybody. That is playing to the people. That's getting everybody all juiced up. Conquest. Galactic. Galactic conquest. That's one where if I was just picking on my based on just my own personal taste, that's number one. Like Star Wars Battlefront 2 is forever a game

that is going to be my top 30, 40, like, favorites of all time. And it's one that I think for me, and probably for a good group of people during that era, was probably formative as far as introducing people to like class-based gameplay. Obviously class-based shooters existed before then. But putting that in Star Wars and having it work so well and adding in the Galactic Conquest element to it, I think what's such a cool. And yeah, having a PSP version was such a cool thing, especially when you get into, oh, as I'm going, I'm unlocking more classes. And now I'm playing as the droidica.

And I have those like fucking weird-ass abilities where I can do the shield and all that shit. Now they are two of them. Or I'm playing as the dark trooper. like that the way in which they like leveled up as you go of like the kind of classes you can play as and like building in the differences I thought was so cool and yeah like was was what ushered me into playing other class-based shooters after that yeah and even like when we played the like bundle that came out and you just absolutely destroyed me in a game of galactic conquest like it was really impressive to go back to a game from 19 years ago and it still felt good to play like not the most advanced or crazy thing ever, but it's still like moment to moment gameplay. You're like, damn, this was... Still a blast. Still a blast, yeah. Andy.

Huh. It's a tough one. I'm just a tough one because I'm... I think I have one or two more until I start going with my... The ones in my heart. You know what I mean? But right now, I will go with I mean, who could

deny the power? Who could deny the power, Tim? of a guy named Kyle. Kyle Katarred. Yeah, yeah. But I'm going with the sequel. Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Outcast. I like that.

Everybody loves Kyle Katarn. I mean, he's just one of them guys that like, even if you're somewhat into the Star Wars universe, and we know that once Disney bought it, they're like, hey, all that of the shit, it's not real, it doesn't exist. But, like, Kyle Katar is just one of those names

that even if you're on the fringes, you're like, I've heard of that guy. Was he in the movie that like, now he's a video game guy, but everybody knows of Kyle Katarn. Do they? Kyle. I didn't know that was like,

Kyle, grab your friend, so McTavish. I didn't know that they had Kyle's in the Star Wars universe. That does not sound like a Star Wars name. He's good friends with Luke, you know. Kyle Kaye. My good friend, Kyle Katarne. Kyle Katarne.

I mean, everybody knows him in the Star Wars universe. Of course. And the second one was better. And that's also me playing to the audience. that's a game I may have rented once look you're you're playing well I just I worry that the audience is not our audience like Jedi Outcast incredible game

the Jedi Night series incredible series we won't very much a old school PC type okay but we won't have a true judging until we put this out on Twitter on on X everything platform we'll also do straw polls in our chat as well yeah because I know the chat you know our chat is our audience

but then you put this hot on you're right I consider Twitter the real vote You put this out on Twitter where it starts going to everybody's algorithms, or they're like, oh, I love Kyle Katarne. This tweet from Kadafling is going to pop off. Yeah. Oh, yeah. This is going to be the one. I love Kyle.

Kyle, Luke, and Ben. Andy, I believe you get to go again. No. Yeah. Oh. Oh, fuck. Okay, now I'm at the point where I'm like, do I start going with my favorites? Because how many are we picking?

Star Wars Game Fact, the character artist on the Super Star Wars Games, now is the head designer at turn 10. Joshy G writes in and it says Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy are excellent picks. And DJ Kento, I'm not going to read that one until the end. Because again, chat, you guys stop giving people ideas. But you're the one getting the ideas. You're the one looking at the ideas. Yeah, you get the ideas.

Why didn't everybody else get the ideas? Because sometimes I have ideas and then people in chat are on the same wavelength. And I'm like, well, now they're going to have the ideas. Stop infecting their brains. Of course you were on the same wavelength. I'm locked in, man. I know when my picks are. All right, well then let's hear, well, before we get to you,

let's hear Andy's next pick. Also, could I just say snake drafts with three people are do-doo butter. I honestly agree How the fuck am I saying Do you get one pick And each you get two Every single time Tim's getting fucked

Honestly Tim You're still in the fight I know Let's see how this goes Yeah no Tim's This is looking fantastic Thank you Not as fantastic as mine

But you I'm mentally struggling with this one As I do with most things But I'm gonna go With something right here That I think could appeal To a wider base God damn

This game came out on the 360 See, it's called Lego Star Wars. Complete saga, what was it called? Assumption. The complete saga. Lego Star Wars Complete saga. Okay.

Interesting. Yeah, yeah. All right. You want your kids to be playing Star Wars. Your kids are known who Kyle is now. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. They know Kyle.

They do know Kyle. Yeah. Okay. Okay. The complete saga. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Not sure that's the one I would have went with, you know?

But if I'm being honest, I don't know which one I would have been. Actually, no, I do. There's one. Yeah, there's one? I mean, I think there is a one to pick for a Lego Star Wars game. Playing to the base. He's playing to the base. He's playing to the base.

It's going to be an interesting conversation. Although, maybe I'm wrong. I'm using my building blocks. Because chat is saying, no, that's the one. Chad is saying that's a great pick. They're saying that's the one to pick, I think, because of nostalgia. Bear knows the one I'm thinking of. I do.

But maybe we'll get there later. Maybe. Who's next? Tim's next. Tim's next. Good. Force unleashed everybody. Oh,

Tim. That's a good one. Number one. That's a good one. Old Kyle's friend. What's his name? Dash. Nope.

Fuck. Job. Star Killer. Star killer. The coolest name of all time. Who could forget me? He was in Soul Caliber. He was.

Oh, wow. It's such a crazy thing to happen. Wasn't Yoda in it too? Uh-huh. Yeah, Yoda was in the Xbox version, I believe. And it sucked because he was short. so he was hard to hit. Hell yeah.

The big gameplay problem. I don't know why they chose Yoda of all characters. There's so many other characters to pick from. Did you ever play Force Unleashed? Oh, yeah. You fuck with Force and Leashed? I read Box Force and Leashed a decent amount of times. It's the peak of like edgy era Star Wars that like

somehow shouldn't stand the test of time, but for whatever reason it does. I mean, dude, it was a right place, right time. Yeah. Remember the DLC? I think it was for part two that was like kind of like, what if they lost? on Endor. So that's a DLC for the first one is like, there's the two endings in the main game.

You either go after the emperor who's killing all of your friends from the rebellion spoilers for this game that came out 16 years ago. Or you fight Darth Vader in like a more emotional revenge thing and you essentially win that fight against Vader, but then all of your friends die

and then the emperor recruits you as his apprentice. And then the DLC is a follow-up to that ending where you go off and you kill Obi-1 on... You hunt everybody down from the original trilogy. You see, you kill Obi-1. Good. You deserve it. You kill Luke on Hoth.

It's so fucking cool. You kill Kyle. There's... On named planet. Like, when we think of core memories, I think of core memories all the time. Of course you do. We're talking like, you know,

Gears of War all around me are familiar. You know, like, the first time you saw that commercial, the first time you saw the Halo 3 commercial, right? All that stuff. The Force Unleashed commercial, holding the Star Destroyer, is one of the coolest, most sick images you'll ever see in your life.

Up there with, like, Knuckles holding a gun, or a shadow holding a gun. I get Knuckles a gun. Yeah. Oh, he uses his fist. That'd be, you can't give him a gun. Have you watched Knuckles yet? I don't think I'll ever watch Knuckles.

That's all I haven't seen it. I will watch it, though. I mean, when you watch it, let me know, maybe I'll watch it with you. At this point, it's like, you know, it released. And then, like, now I don't have a reason. Because, like, what, I'm going to watch it for the zeitgeist? There's no zeitgeist. Knuckles.

And so if you watch it, then it's like, okay, well, Tim's watching it. It's something to talk about. I'm going to watch it before Sonic 3. I need to know. Oh, that's a good point. Yeah, maybe I'll watch it right before Sonic 3. It's going to be important to bless. It might be on.

If Kid Cuddy shows up in Sonic 3. We need to know. All right. So it's me. And I get two picks. for my first two picks you know I went with Jedi Survivor and nights of the older public too

and that was me trying to play the game of like trying to cover the same basis that you guys covered for your first picks I didn't play to my heart though and pick and I didn't pick Battlefront too which I feel a little salty about

and so for my next pick I do want to play to my heart a bit more I'm going Star Wars Episode 1 Racer I respect it I respect it damn it now we are veering into the territory

of like is it really the best Star Wars game It's really good, though. It's really good. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I played it a few years ago when it re-released on PlayStation. Holds up.

Fun game to have on handheld on Switch. Like, it definitely leans more towards a nostalgia pick. And that's where I'm kind of getting where we only have. We don't have a whole lot. I'm with it. There's not a whole lot of ball game left. That's my other thing with it is that, yeah, like the picks that I have are, I guess, nice to the little Republic.

If you pick Shadow of the Empire, that's like one of the best rated Star Wars games ever. But like, I know. That one is definitely the one that's hard to go back to. But I don't know if people really know that when they're voting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And to be clear, I would have put Racer, I would have voted for Racer.

That was going to be my next pick. That's my thing is I also, I want to, to the variety aspect of it. Yeah. I want to get something that is the nostalgia pick. And I think episode run Racer, honestly, of that era, one of the better Star Wars games, if not, maybe I can make the argument of, like, maybe the best Star Wars game of that specific era. I don't know if I'm ready to make that argument, but I can see myself getting there and making it because that game was really, really fun.

I'm not going to pick Jedi Power Battles. I know, even though my heart wants to. I'm not going to pick Masters of Teres Kasi. I rented the fuck out of Jedi Power Battles, but I would not put it in my top five of things that I want to show off and have an audience agree with me with. I love that game. But, man, you have Plowcun without Orange Light Savor.

He was my main. Blochoon's a core memory. I'm going to use my one phone of Barrett. Oh! Ring ring. Hello, what's a blessing? What do you need to know about Star Wars video games? Barry, I want to talk to you about a franchise of games called Rogue Squadron.

Fuck you. This is bullshit. Fuck you! I don't know much about Rogue Squadron. I know they're multiple... You don't deserve it! I don't know which is the best one to pick. Because I know people fuck with Rogue Squadron.

I know people love Rogue Squadron. This is a tough one to ask me about specifically because the one that I had was the N64 one. They're both good picks. Which like I personally really liked. I know the follow-up is the one on the GameCube. GameCube, yeah. Tim put up the three. I didn't even know that there was a third one made.

I'm going to be honest. I mean, Star Wars Squadrons? That's a different thing, isn't it? Man. That game. Although that's also a good... But it's a good game that was just too hardcore. People weren't ready.

Ten years from now, we're going to be talking about how good Star Wars Squadrons was. No, I just think that that game is come and gone. I think that genre similar to... Remake a twist of metal. You'll play that for four days. You know what I mean? Like, that genre is gone. I feel you in terms of like...

I guess, yeah. No, I guess I agree with you. I think the problem with Star Wars Squadron is that the people weren't ready for it. You know what I mean? Like, the audience just wasn't there for it. But the game itself, technically, I think, is this a fucking good game? Kill it if you have to.

I think it's like, I think it's a well put together simulation of what dog fighting should be. Yeah, but it just like, it just weren't ready. Like, it didn't really, like, latch on to an audience. Like a huge audience that would be, who would see it on your team and be like, yes, I got to vote for that because it's on your team, right? Bless. I am going to give you the suggestion of two. Because that was the one all my friends had on GameCube.

I did not own it, but they fucking loved that game. And I think that's like probably what the nostalgia play is really going to be is that second one. Yeah, I was leaning towards that. Yeah, I think I'm going to go with that, actually. That is the answer. Just to be clear, when I threw up the three earlier, I wasn't saying three is the best. There are three games. Oh, gotcha, got you.

Yeah. This is called Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2. Rogue Leader. God, that's sick. Hold on. That's a dope name for a video game. Here's the thing. All of those words are cool.

I need y'all to know this. Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2, Rogue Leader, was a GameCube launch title. It was a launch title? Yeah. That's crazy. Can you bring up footage of the Death Star run in Rogue Squadron 2?

I can't believe that a GameCube launch title still looks this good. And I'm saying all this and I haven't looked at it in a very long time. That's the best way to preface of it. It's going to be garbage. I bet it holds up because I remember being wowed then. And I remember anytime I see this game, I'm like, my first thought is how was that a GameCube launch title? It's me a burnout three.

I see. Like here's the thing though. Rogue Squadron 1 was still like deep in my heart. Oh yeah. I think they're both good picks. That's why you were saying Star Wars episode one, Racer, like the best of that era. Oh, you're going to Roak Squadron?

Yeah. This is the GameCube one? Yeah. This is a GameCube launch title. Oh, yeah. Like, what the hell, dude? This thing's great. Like, this looks amazing, right?

This is pretty damn good for a launch GameCube title. I don't think we should do it. But some content creator out there should do just Star Wars games in review and play through every Star Wars game and review it and I'll watch it. Because, like, I just want to, like, there are so many. that I couldn't play the ball. I don't know if any of us got to play the ball.

And I look at this and I'm like, I would have played the fuck out of this if I had a game game. I think there's definitely a series like that. Or, no, maybe I'm thinking of Anthony Carboni playing every Zelda game. He did Spider-Man.

Oh, Spider-Man. I was the one who did a video called Zelda in review. Damn. It was very. I did two of them actually. I vaguely remember this. 60 friends per second.

Hot. Whoa, really? That's crazy. I'm telling you, man. A game. Banded off. Damn, dog. What was the framework of burnout three?

I'll look that up while we go back to Tim for your fourth pick. I wasn't ready for that. Is it me? Yeah, because I went twice. Snake draft. Wait. Because it's Andy first.

Tim in the middle. You're right. Wait, but he just went. No, I just went twice. He was talking about rogue leader. Yeah, he was getting you all hyped up. I thought it was his big. No, no, no.

I saw a big game earlier. I got thrown off their thought squadron was mine in the bag. I really did I threw your bitch eyes off I really did I'm blanking on the name of it he's blanking he's joking

he's joking he's about to lose his big that's crazy he's thinking of Star Wars Connect the big multiplayer one Connect

no yeah no Galaxy squadrons oh you're talking about the MMO yeah Star Wars old Republic the old Republic

that's what I'm going to go with he's going to Star's the old like that's a that would be a solid last pick out would say. But a solid pick nonetheless.

There's so much content there. Yeah. There's so much to experience. Here's the thing. And I might be leading the audience a little bit here. I applied there. I got declined several times. You brought up the Force Unleashed trailer being like a core memory.

Yeah, yeah. Anything released for the old republics of core memory. All of the Blur Studios. Dude. Things. Even if you didn't play this game, it's one of the best Star Wars games. Yeah. I've never touched this game.

but I like I hold this game to a high regard because of those The shot of The Jedi temple getting invaded and you just see all the red sabers turn on Get the fuck out of here. It's funny when I was prepping this doc yesterday One of the premises I was throwing out for this draft is like Maybe we make it so that the what we're trying to draft are like If you could only play the Star Wars games for the rest of your life

Right now Tim's list is looking like it Yeah Right between battlefront, and fall in order and force and leash and then like if I needed an MMO like Star Wars World Public is there for me that's good for that. All right. Andy.

I don't like where I'm at physically and mentally. What's crazy is that there's still so many Star Wars games left. There's way there's. I was expecting to get to like the final round to be like I don't know. Plus there's a bejillion. There's a bledillion.

Okay. So now I'm going to kind of just play time. my heart and my mind and my soul and my body. I'm going to go with, do I have a I'm going to, man, this is a tough one. One's better, but one is more nostalgic.

I'm going to go with the OG Rogue Squadron on the Nintendo 64. Play that game of buttload. Good answer. I mean, you know, tying up the adats, it was a great time. It was a great time.

You know, a little garage. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because the other one I wanted to pick Jedi Starfighter on PS2. Yeah. Was a better video game?

No. Than Rogue Squadron 1, I think. No, not a chance. It wished it was. And I love that game. But like, that game is like, that, that was like, oh, we're going to do Rogue Squadron, but it's going to be like next gen. And it just kind of like lacked the heart.

Okay. Okay, I feel you. I really liked Starfighter, though. No. Okay, now this gets really, really tough. Your final pick here. Final pick, because you were, like, Racer was definitely the one, right?

I'm writing down a list right now of, like, what could be my final pick? Because now it's getting kind of tough. God, I hate seeing chat be on the same way. Like, because it means sometimes, Andy. You sure you want Survivor? Oh, let me phone a Barrett. Yeah.

So, one that I'll throw out there for you. What, you didn't say hello? Oh, hello, hello, hello, Barrett. Or hello, Andy. It's your roommate, Barrett. I hear you need a Star Wars video game to draft for your final round for the Star Wars. Yeah, this is the fifth pick. This is something like...

Do you have any vibes of what you're trying to go for? I say look at where we're at right now, right? We have the best Star Wars game of all time. We have one game that can appeal to the fun and goofiness with the Lego complete saga. We have the Shipfighter, Rogue Squadron thing, Jedi Knight to Outcast. A good man, Kyle. And a lot of nostalgia plays in different eras, I would say, of Star Wars. Now another one that would be a nostalgia play, I would say for my age specifically, Andy, would be Star Wars Episode 3, the video.

God damn it. Revenge of the Sith. See, that's just out of my era. Good game. That's a really good game. That's just so out of my era and I just don't really know anybody who talks about it in that way. Like it feels like you need to mention it in order for everybody to be like, oh shit, that is a good game, you know? I'm looking at what chat's saying

I gotta turn off chat You know what pick it I have such a bang or fifth pick I'm excited No I hate you all I think I'm in a good place because I feel like no matter what Andy says

I have a counter for it Right Like if any goes for the nostalgia pick With episode three I got one in mind That can counter it If it goes for a more modern pick I got something in mine

That'll can't counter it Huh I feel like I should just I got a weird pick too If you want to throw it out there If you want to get weird, we can get weird, Andy. Oh, fuck, you're so right, chat. I love that.

I love that pick, but I'm going to go with something more modern and multiplayer Battlefront, too, by EA. God damn it. Yeah. I'm still one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's, I needed to fill that out. I'm not saying that Barrett's a bad pick.

I just don't have a multiplayer game here. And I wanted to fill out all the genres. And think about it towards the end of it. Obviously, this game launched and everybody hated it. Everybody's mad at it. The whole world was on fire. And then, you know, You know, by the end of it, I feel like it had this kind of cult following.

Yeah. Let's just remember how Star Wars Battlefront 2 just completely ruined loopboxes for everybody. Remember that? Yeah, but then, you know, they took it. Remember they called, you know, Mr. Disney and he was like, what the fuck are loop boxes to get that out of my video game? They're taking out really quickly, you know? Yeah, yeah. Quickly, but like, it was, it felt long in the moment.

It must have been like four weeks. But also, the best thing for that game when it launched was like the, the, the space battles, the dog fighting. Ooh, it still feels good. Hang, I didn't think you were thinking about the Star Wars Battlefront, too, Ingle. That was going to be my pick if you picked another modern thing. So that's a good pick for you, Andy. Tim, what you got?

My final one. Look at my five. It's not terrible. Was Battlefront 2, 2017? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Maybe I'm a misremembering. I think it was 2016. Because I was back, I thought it was 2018.

I was in, maybe I'm thinking about it, wow. I was listening to a lot of KFCD. I'm pretty sure it's 17. Yeah, it's 2017. Oh, I must have. been right before I moved to, it was November 2017. Damn.

All right, Tim, you had a bang your final pick? We had just moved in together, Andy. That's what it was. I'm very, very happy that I get to go now because I was worried it was going to be you, and I was worried you're going to take this one, even though it's outside the box. Because y'all are playing all these nostalgia plays,

and I know that y'all are a slightly different age group than me. Because the ultimate nostalgia play for people my age. Not the PC gamers, because that's a whole other thing that I, if I'm being honest, don't fully understand. which of the Thai Fighter versus X-wing. I don't know. Yeah, Shadow of the Empire.

I thought you're driving towards Thai fighters just now. You'd think of the one cover that you'd always see, and I'd always see it when I'd go to the local Sam's Club. It was right next to Walmart. We'd go to the Sam's Club, and that's when my parents were buying bulk or whatever, and you'd walk by the PC section. I would see Warcraft 2. I would see all the first Sims video game,

and I would see the one with the Thai fighter and like the black, or maybe it was just like, it was all of like these... You're talking about dark forces. Yeah, was that Dark Forces? it was all of like the stormtroopers. Yeah. That's a great cover. So I'm not going that direction

because I don't have that nostalgia myself. But any kid that grew up in the 90s when you go to an arcade. Oh. And you look around and you start seeing all the different themes you can play. There's the NBA jam. There's the dance dance revolution. But then there's this giant game.

Star Wars, the trilogy. And it has this handle. And there's three different levels. and in one level that handle is you controlling your X-wing in another one

it's you holding the goddamn lights at Friday against Darth Vader it's one of the fucking coolest games of all time is that the one that was all surrounding you oh yeah it required four quarters

motherfuckers they had the balls to be like oh street fighter two it's one quarter no fuck that four quarters this is immersive it's gonna be worth it yeah

you might have an aneurism in here put it on Star Wars no one can hear you screaming space Star Wars The trilogy. Arcade.

That's good. That's good. Which brings it to me in my final pick. And it's really tough because I just started listing down games that could make a good final pick. And I think I just had to like, I had to be reactive. I don't think this is one where I just go straight with the heart. I think I had to like take a look at Andy and Tim's list to see what holes I need to fill here. Because Andy has, Knights of the Old Republic, which I've kind of, you know, counter a little bit with Cotor 2.

yeah is Jedi Outcast Star Wars complete saga Rogue Squadron 1 Battlefront 2 Both of you guys have battlefronts And you got none of the battlefronts That's fucked up less I mean I could get one of the nobody wants

Star Wars Battlefront one the modern one I'm sorry modern or the old one They're both fine But that Republic Commando If you go with shadows of the empire You're gonna get a lot of people horny That's true Is it?

I'm not gonna do episode 3 I was thinking episode three for the nostalgia, but I don't think I need that. Jedi Power battles. I think both Rogue Squadron 2 and Racer are holding down the nostalgia. That's fair, yeah. I then look at Star Wars Bounty Hunter, which I know is nostalgia,

but it's also just a cool concept for a video game. Real talk, not that I'm trying to help you here, I think Bounty Hunter holds more nostalgic value and quality value than other games you're talking about there. But then I shift. And this one is a weird one, right? because I wasn't around for Star Wars Ty Fighter but I know the streets fuck with it.

You oldies out there fuck with it. People loved it, yeah. That was where I was telling you about. That was another game that I played at my my cousin's friends, Ty, his house. Yeah. Ty had Thai fighters?

Yeah. He did. Damn. And it was one of them PC games. Like, I didn't know you could do this. I've seen Word and Excel. Thought about getting weird and go Invader Mortal. I'm not going to do that.

I thought about it though. Yeah, that's too weird. And then there's the Lego thing. Noda stories. the what now? Yoda stories what is Yoda stories I'd never heard of Yoda stories

he's just gonna say it over and over again Yoda stories a lot help me out here Barrett I love you a big of nerd chat I'm combining two things in my mind was it the Gameboy color game or was that was Yoda stories the like you buy cereal

when it comes in the cereal oh fuck dude I think this was cereal I just picture Yoda having Instagram stories this unlocked Core memory This unlocked a core memory

Hold on Dude Yoda stories Fox Fucking Come on Yeah Should I pick you It's a PC game

No absolutely not It's a terrible pick But like if you wanted me Specifically to vote for you IGN gave it a two out of ten You're saying this is a serial box game I'm confused as to Because I think I had

I had some Like a road to El Dorado Serial box game that I'm pretty sure gave our computer a virus. Oh my God, dude. It was such like, it's not a good game.

It sucks. It's so bad. But you know what the, this reminds me of less is like the cartoon network games that we were really into when we were like growing up and like that's the vibe from this. This looks like he came on a floppy disc. One out of five stars. You come on a CD.

No. Like, holy shit. That unlocked a. Holy cow. I was just brought back to my grand like my grandpa's like, computer room. Holy shit, man. Yeah, so it came out on PC,

but then it was ported to Game Boy. Yoda Stories remains IGN's lowest rated Game Boy Color title with a 2 out of 10. That's unfortunate. Yeah. Okay. That made my day.

Thank you, Tim. I want to shout out Star Wars. I don't have a connection to that game, but I know it's the one that people fuck with also. Jeff Grubbs says, it looks like it came on a flybyes. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

I saw somebody earlier in chat I think it was the Omega Nerd that says Bless Lex to act like he's so young Motherfunk is you guys act like I'm so young Alright I'm a solid 30 I think Yeah I'm 30 years old alright leave me alone Ten dollars superjad from DJ Kento says Yoda Stories had a demo that came in the cereal

The CD version had a ton of customization for Windows 95 icons mice and sounds It was a rogue like two every time it was different Great for PC nerds I'm so happy that somewhere in here I remembered Yoda stories and cereal Only serial I could think about is the freaking Chex Quest.

That's the only serial game I can think of. Playing Checks Quest and looking at Mark Tom and Travis show a website on Link 182.com. So I'm down to two games. I'm just going to talk this to. There's Star Wars Bounty Hunter and then there's Star Wars, there's Lego Star Wars,

the Skywalker Saga, which is what I'm surprised you didn't pick Andy. But Chat now has been convinced that the complete collection or whatever, the complete saga might have been the one over the Skywalker saga. The Skywaker saga is the new that just came out. While a great game,

I don't think, I don't think it has any of the nostalgia pole and I also don't think that it's quality enough that people are fucking with it. I think my thing was that I view it as just content complete,

right? Because it contains all the, when was the complete saga? That was like, 2007. Yeah. So I think, like, I guess Skywalker saga

I'm considering because it contains like the sequel trilogy as well. And then also just covers the Lego base, which I know people are big on the Lego games. But yeah,

maybe that's not as good of a counter as I thought. It's more of like, I don't think it's good enough. to fill that genre of being like, oh, I want a kiddie, like silly, you know, and we ain't got kids voting for us on Twitter. I'm going Star Wars Bounty Hunter.

Good call. That's a great call. This is one I used to watch Addison play. And this is one of the tough ones because I really wanted to hold the controller for this one. Like, often times Addison would play games in front of me and I'm like, oh, you do your thing, right? You're playing whatever medieval game on PS2 or whatever. This is one where I was like, oh, this is kind of cool, actually.

All right, everybody. The poll is up on Twitch and YouTube. Which team has the best games? I feel like I got this. Do we want to say them out loud for the audio listeners? Yeah, let's go through it for the audio listeners. Of course, there will be a poll on Twitter as well that I'll make Roger do so we can get, you know, the unbiased. Going through them, though.

Starting with Team Bless, my roster looks like this. I have Jedi Survivor, Knights of the Old Republic 2, Episode 1, Racer. Rogue Squadron 2, Rogue Leader and Star Wars Bounty Hunter. And for me, I have Knights of the Old Republic, Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Outcast, my boy Kyle, Lego Star Wars Complete saga, Rogue Squadron on the Nintendo 64, and Battlefront 2, the 2017 version. But think about it the way it would play now, right? It's super feature complete. It's got a lot of awesome stuff in there.

That game is gorgeous. Yeah, it's a beautiful game. And that was like the first game where I ever heard the term photogrammetry. Wow. where EA was scanning rocks, it being like, that is how this rock looks like in the game. It makes you feel like you're on tattooing. Mine are Jedi Fallen Order, Battlefront 2, 2005,

Force Unleashed the Old Republic and Star Wars the Trilogy Arcade. Hell yeah, get your votes in now. As you're doing that, we've got a whole bunch of super chats from you guys. Thank you guys so much, starting with DJ Kento who writes in and says, don't count out Star Wars arcade games, Pod Racer, Star Wars Arcade by Sega, and the new battle pods, some of the best Star Wars gaming is in arcades. Dell Walker writes in it says,

by the way, there's a full generation of adults that are plow coo-coon and Kit Fistow stands solely because of PS-1's Jedi Power Battles and Lego Star Wars Complete Saga has outsold almost everything on your list. Also, I need you to think about this when you're talking about when you're looking at Tim's list, okay? Think about how tough the housing market is right now.

Nobody can afford homes. What sort of landlord is going to let you put a big old trilogy arcade. How are you going to get it up to your fifth floor apartment? It's really, really hard out there. It's hard times out there. Again, this is, we're just one for the best. This isn't the, if you could only play these.

The premise is, look, the housing market is in a crisis. Also, I want to get, and I only have remembered this because of the more civilized age podcast. Plow Coon got, like, another, like, ramp up because of the Clone Wars show, because he was such a fucking hymbo in that show. It was just the orange lightsaber for me. And the fucking face mask? Yeah, the face mask?

don't even know what the fuck it was but dude i was del is so right like i was all in him he was my main in jenni power battles and like i was obsessed with him to the point that when he showed up in episode three i like marked the fuck out i was so stoked and he dies the stupidest death wait no hold on plocoon

was actually like really cool and uh who was the other one the more like tentacly guy that i'm thinking of oh he's the one who like looks like yeah i forget his name i get slashed real fast kit fisto kit fisted He was the hymnbo

in the Clone War show. Because Plu Koon, like, he ended up dying. We see him just kind of like getting shot down in space. And it was like, bro, come on, man. He's my boy. I want to see his orange saber. But then a fun little fact in Mandalorian season two.

Like, I don't want to spoil the reveal just because of the setup here. But like the reveal at the end of season two of the returning character. That's a very, very big deal. Throughout all of the shooting of it. Luke Skywalker. It was PluCoon.

Oh. And then they, they like, so all the people working on the show thought it was couldn't be him, but no, it was the other guy. Luke. Giva Viery writes in and says,

My Dream Star Wars game is you playing as a mechanic in fixing various Star Wars vehicles bust out the old books that have the internals of all the ships for that. Oh yeah. That's cool.

Dream Star Wars game. That sounds like a good topic. You might talk about that at some point. I remember also walking down the aisles at Sam's Club, Tim. Mm-hmm. And finding the books, there's a lot of art books, right,

at Sam's Club. And one of the books would be like the internal hardware of what these ships are. And it would like x-ray the ship for you and be like like, like, it would show you like cool concept art, right? What were these books called? I don't know, but then it would like cut. The DK books. It would cut the ship in half and show you like, this is where the engine is. This is the, this.

And it would show you a lightsaber and be like, here's where this is what powers the Khyber crystal. And like, it was so cool to see like how the stuff actually worked, even though it's not real. it was just like really really fascinating to me Olivia says Tim is for sure talking about Star Wars Galaxy I know at one point You were talking about the multiplayer game I think you were looking for

Yeah yeah yeah But then you ended up on The Old Republic Sweater is what we called it In the games industry The captain Cun says Lego Star Wars is a close

There's a close one I don't know where to go Because there's two ways to pronounce that In my head I'm like I got to choose one It's a Coon Star Wars third Yeah I think it's

Captain Coon? Okay. K-U-H-N. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, actually. Lego Star Wars, Scott Warka Saga, I think, is a slightly better game than complete saga, mainly because it doesn't feel like any previous Lego game. It would be even better with character, or with custom characters, though. Hmm. All right, so the polls have come in on the YouTube chat.

Tim won the YouTube poll with 45% of the vote. Andy got 44% of the vote, and Blessing got 10% of the vote. Again, I don't trust the live viewers. On the Twitch chat, Andy won 52% of the vote. Tim won 39% of the vote and Blessing won 9% of the boat. So I would say in the combination of the two chats, I think Andy took it away. I don't know if you know about this thing called racism, Barrett. But there's a reason why when we tweet these things, I get more percentage without my face attached to it.

Which is why I wait for Twitter. The platform of the people. platform with the people. Let's go. Take it to Twitter, everybody. Yeah, definitely no racism on Twitter. They cleaned it up in the last couple years. You can't even say cis on there.

Let's see. DJ Kento says Yoda Stories had a demo that came in serial. The CD version had a ton of customization for Windows 95, icons, mice, and sounds. It was a roguelite too. Every time it was different. Oh, that's cool. Great for PC nerds. Nice.

Someone else asked in chat. who I would have personally voted for. I would have gone with Tim. Tim had me in the chokehold with Fallen Order in Battlefront, too. Subbo, what do you think about Barrett's awesome? Oh, Topuji no, boss. Damn, that's unfortunate.

Have you been practicing that for the show? Simoba's Podracer, what do you think? Do do, do, do, do, do. So sick, man. That's one scene where he's, like, right up on Anakin, and they cut to his age, you just hear, do, do, do, duc, d' dick, d' dick, d' dick, it's like, oh, shit, man, this is so sick.

We need a fucking pod racing movie. More than anything. And there was one, like, pod racer or shit that was like, I remember, like, one of them sounded like that. Then quadrero. Dude, do, do, do, do, do, do. Uh, Mad Rock says, Clone Wars makes Plokoon's death so much more meaningful.

Yeah, he's the one who, um, recruits Asoka, like, into the Jedi Academy and all that stuff. And, like, even though, Anakin is Asoka's, uh, master, like, Plokun is someone she would often go to. It's cool, uncle. fucking awesome uncle vibes and then we got one more from Chad

who says the fact that Republic Commando was never picked it's literally one of the best Star Wars games made also EA fucked up by stopped updating Battlefront 2 that's how they wrote it did they stop updating Battlefront 2 is that done yeah I feel like that was a big thing like a year or two ago like there was like a day where it was like all right this is like the final

day that we're supporting enough you know three years except five years enough yeah um How did the Republic? We'll react when they when they stopped updating that. Poito!

Republic Commandos cool of shit. I feel like it needs more love in the modern day. Republic Commando? Yeah. That's one that I don't

think I have any experience with. That's one where it's like you and like you control like you command literally like three other clone troopers and like the special like squad. It was cool as shit.

I didn't own it but that was one like I don't, I had an Addison of my own. We all do, right? But that was like one that I would always go to a friend's house and play because it was sick as hell. I'm glad Jeff Greub was able to be in the Twitch chat to watch me win. Because I've always talked so highly and so fondly about these turn-based games and how much... How much it just really gives you, like, the time to think about what you're doing the strategy, you know?

You could go make a, you could go make a tea if you want. You could go, you know... Sometimes you can pick an ability that doesn't even do any damage. but it's like you might poison your enemy. Yeah, and then you just wait there for a long time too. Like, let me read your mind for a little bit. I'm about to destroy you guys on Twitter. Let's go.
