I have a thing that I used to do whenever I, so, but whenever I would green out, which was a lot because my tolerance for weed is not a lot. I would always just say out loud, I just need to go to the bathroom. I just need to take a shit. And then I would just leave and go to the bathroom and take a shit. And I would just have my panic attack in the bathroom instead. But it would make me feel better. I mean, if it works, it works. I didn't really work. I would just have it elsewhere. I would just have my panic attack somewhere else.

I talk about like the Roger the Alien thing on the podcast? Yes. At all? Okay. Yeah, he saw Roger the Alien in a dream. No, no, it was I. Yeah, you definitely talked about that one. I would, dude, I'd fucking be fine, I think, if Roger the alien tried to go after me.

I just have a feeling that I would win against him. I think I just have a boner. No, it's, I would fucking punch his sack, like his fucking brain sack. Hello? Why'd they give the alien a fat ass like that? I don't get it. Does he have a fat ass? He has a fat ass, yeah.

You could Google it right now, Roger the Alien, fat ass. Let me. You're going to have to do some check and do some research. Yeah. What the fuck? They got Roger the Alien double-stacked an American dad. Why is he double-stacked? What the fuck?

He's double-stacked, dude. That's what he's built like. He's all at. Whoa, Mama. I don't think that's from the show. Seth McFarland said it had to happen or he's not making the show. I think Seth McFarland was watching Star Trek TNG as a young one and saying to himself, you know, I think it'd be great if I had one of these great aliens.

with a fat ass instead. If one of these grailians had a fat ass and lived in somebody's attic and that somebody owned guns and shot the guns, I think that'd be pretty epic, actually. Those are words directly from Seth MacFarlane's, so. We can't start like this. This sucks. I don't know, man, I'm just talking about alien ass. Oh, I'm upset that I can't talk about an alien ass.

Welcome to the podcast. What alien would you fuck? What fictional alien is the most fuckable? Roger. No. Garris is a cop-out because everybody's going to say Garris or like one of the Mass Effect. Like, dude, they may be.

those aliens so fuckable, it's crazy. Do you think they knew? You ever think about the Elkhore from Mass Effect or? Oh, is that those fuckers that can't move? No, the Elkhore are the, uh, the giant, like elephant gray guys. They walk like elephants. Yeah. Yeah.

That's like the only non-sexy alien in that fucking game. Horny. Shepherd, would you like to engage in Coitus aroused? Do you want to fuck? Well, because they say their emotion before they speak. They do. Yeah. They say their emotion before they speak.

So it'd be like, Aroused, Shepherd, would you like to come to my bid? I don't want to know who's being torqued by Vortchah. Who, wasn't there a fuckable Hannar? What is Hainar? Hannar is the jellyfish guys. The jellyfish. Is that, oh, the, oh, the jellyfish.

I mean, would you fuck the get? I found a goaded, I found a goaded Reddit thread. What are you views on the Hanna race? I, what are you views on the race? That's it. Damn, that's a crazy title. We are Seth Rogen. Oh, I think often about Mads.

Seth Rogen. Seth Rogen. We're Seth Rer. Oh, wrong one. Wrong Rogan. Okay, but what if we made him Jumbo? Holy shit. He's already Jumbo.

If he goes to the HGH long enough, do you think he's going to end up being green? We're going to have to start calling him Jumbo Joe. I don't like where this one's going. This is actually maybe the most unfunny we've been in years. We haven't done anything all week. I don't think we've got like exciting things to be happening to us. The most exciting thing that happened to me is I went to a pumpkin patch.

I can talk about that if you want me to. I don't think I did anything either. All I did was, I went to a fucking, oh, dude, I felt so fucking out of my element, actually. I go on VR chat a lot and I go do like VR parties with some friends from time to time. You know how it is with us furries. We're all the same. And I went, I got invited into this instance with like a bunch of college age kids and everybody was dancing on tables and doing like these fucking memes I've never heard of like chicken stars. Six, seven.

They were like, no, just making things up. So like in VR, you can have full body tracking, which means you have like these like things strapped to your ankles that make it so you can like have. That is incredibly niche meme. I looked up chicken stars and it's just like a chicken stars six, seven. Like they would just go chicken stars six seven. But they were all dressed up as like the most dripped up muscular fucking wolves. Oh, this is what happened.

This is the alpha and omega generation. Holy shit. There's not an alpha and omega generation. No one's raised in that movie. Mandy, there are eight movies. Dude, I felt so out of it because everybody was talking about being in college and I was like, I'm 30. Yeah, welcome to old, dude.

I'm not that old. I know, but dude, it made me feel fucking old because everybody was talking about chicken stars in six, seven. No, if you're in your 30s, you just got to accept your old. People are going to be talking about stuff all the time you're not going to know about. That's just how it is. The crazyest part is everybody had these fucking insane fucking VR models that were ripped to shit. And my VR model just looks like me. So he's a chubby fucking beard gutted 5-6 motherfucker.

And I just show up. And I felt so out of place. And I was already drunk. It's because you're used to the real world and they're used to the false world. They're using avatars of what they wish they were and you are being who you are. At one point, my friend just left like to. go to the bathroom and I was just standing there in a corner of the fucking fake virtual room with my beer in my hand. Dude, I felt, no, it was like that fucking, have you ever seen that

image that's just like, there's a 50 year old lesbian here? Oh yeah. Is that you? I felt like a fucking 50 year old lesbian in this fucking party with everybody yelling these memes I've never heard about and going Laboo Boo Boo Gold, Gold Laboo. Hey, you know, you know the booboo. Hey, I knew about I do know that's like the only meme I knew but it made me feel insane. I had to go and learn chicken stars and I had to go look up that it's from the fucking Adam Sandler animated 2023 movie Leo where he played a fucking turtle and it didn't even get them any likes and it's not even that big of a fucking meme so I had to go and look that up it's probably their hoodwinked he wasn't even a turtle he was in a guana he was not a

he was not a turd oh he was in I'm not watching Adam sailor animated movie I didn't watch it I heard it was spreading misinfo dumb ass who's miss info who's I mean the The equivalent would be going to Chucky Cheese and be like, there's no one to talk about Twin Peaks here. Exactly. That's what you're doing. Ripped to the Chucky Cheese. These are memes I've never heard of. Nobody knows about Cinectody New York here. They're also fucking stupid.

Dude, that's not actually, that's not even what I thought. At that point in the corner of the room, listening to the loud, hardcore music that goes like and I was alone in the corner just staring at them. I just had this thought of like, holy fucking

shit. They were not alive during 9-11. I'm the only person that was there for 9-11. So you went to a VR chat party and thought of 9-11. That's all I could think of. I was just standing in the corner and VR thinking about 9-11 because of these fucking kids. They went there when the towers fell. This is so sad. Chicken stars. You guys mean tree stars, right? Okay, grandpa, let's put you to bed. Hitting it with the these kids don't know what a cigar cutter is and then pulling out an incredibly fat booth. I wish. Is there a Brennan Frasier at the whale VR chat model? There has to be.

I bet it's a PNG. I can tell you right now there is 100% of PNG that I've seen, but I don't know about anything else. I don't know if there's actual fucking models. Yeah, I have no, I've never used VR chat. I don't know if there's like a, I don't know if people get models or anything. Oh, you have to pay. There's a browser.

Yeah, dude, you pay for VR bases, then you pay for somebody to modify it so that it looks like your character. It's, uh, dude, it is a whole thing. There's like so much money. Dude, you know, people make a lot. lot of money on fur suits dude people make a lot of money on fucking VR chat models it's just about it's almost as expensive yeah imagine like that's a long because you have to you have to make the model you have to rig the model and then people are like can you give me like alt where i'm wearing a yeah yeah exactly

where i need an outfit for the christmas party yeah exactly dude there is so much money in those it's crazy just imagining joining a tech startup and then just hitting you with immediately with the Okay, so all our, all our meetings are in VR chat. Please, you know, be respectful. Jump into the VR chat, a very normal. And then you're the one who jumps in with like the furry suit. And you're like, oh, fuck. I forgot to trade change into business casual.

Son of a fucking bitch. I mean, isn't that exactly what Metta wanted to do for a little while? They were just like, yeah, they were like, I mean, it's a terrible idea. VR is like only used by like. Joining the work meeting as an eight foot tall wolf batty. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I'm going to get fired. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Oh my God, Red a month. Dude, you won't read him on in the meeting, bro? What the hell? You can't be botcho Leoman in the meeting, brother. You got to go business casual. You can't be Bancho Leoman. Dude, you have to switch off SpongeBob, dude. The Japanese client is coming.

He's going to fucking hate that. He's going to love it when I switch to my Squidward model and do the voice. He's going to love that. Ohio grocery master. What are you guys talking about? You can't catch my ass being in VR chat. I'm old and I know I'm old. I just like to learn about things every once in a while through, like, beyond the pale a little bit here and there.

I like to just research and find things that, like, are in niche communities. But outside of that, like, you can't make me interact with, like, college age people, they'll kill me. I don't do it. Usually, I was just invited to this open party, and I was just there. You have so much more energy. Like, you do as you age, you lose energy. I will say there is one interaction I had with one of the people that. They just came up to me while I was drinking my beer, and I guess they could see that my VR model was like drinking something in real life.

And they were just like, oh, what are you drinking, bro? And I was like a beer, and he was like, ah, beer, that's not for me. I drink. And then he'd said, like, simply lemonade, simply blueberry lemonade with, like, malt alcohol and like a bunch of other shit in there. And I was like, Jesus, fuck, man. I don't drink beer. I drink chemicals. I am an old lesbian at a fucking college party.

If you're an old lesbian at a party, let me know. We have a lot in common, apparently. Let's be friends. Let's connect. It's just a weird time of the week. It's just a weird time in the week. That's like all I fucking did, dude. I don't have stories. I don't have a transition for VR chat furry party.

Like I haven't know how to jump from that. Like I'm thinking and rattling my brain and I'm like, this is something that is so far out of my wheelhouse. out of my wheelhouse in every way, shape, and form. See, that's why I kind of didn't want to bring it up. But then I was like, shit, we don't have anything else. I'll bring it up. But now I realize how fucking niche that is.

In fact, most people, dude, most people probably fucking logged off. We're back to square one. Went outside, started a family, dude. How do you get invited to a VR chat party? Is it like in the mail? So I was in VR and then I got a message that said, what are you up to? Do you want to come hang?

And then I went to hang. That's pretty much true. Oh, okay. I didn't know if it was like, I thought it was sent an advance, like, log in on this day, this time. I look up, like, on VRChat.com who's on. And if I see somebody that I want to hang out with, I just message that I send them a DM like, hey, can I join you? And if they say, yeah, I'll just join them.

I will say most VR chat hangouts are usually just like sitting down, listening to music and talking. Like, it's not that crazy. It's like Discord, but you got a bunch of shit on you. Yeah. Basically, actually, like, it's just Discord, but you're sitting on a fake couch. It's Discord, but you got shit on you. That's my, like, I understand, like, yeah, you can be in the digital world, but you can't write a fucking light cycle, so why don't I give a shit?

You can. No, you can't. You can't. It fucking sucks. It's not the same as being immersed within the digital realm. Yeah, you can write a fucking light cycle, but it's worse than playing with a controller. I mean, you're, well, you have controllers in your hands. Yeah, but like shit ones.

They're fine. They do the job. If you've ever played like Half Life Alex, they're fine. I'm just, I'm just going to be combative because I fucking hate VR. I just despise it. He wants to be Jared Lettotron. I want to be Jared Lettotron. I want to be Tron Aries.

I want to turn into the digital goop. I want them to 3D print me a new cock. I don't want to ride a fucking light cycle. We jumped like so many fucking things. I don't want to go to a bar, like a generic bar setting or like a generic rooftop party setting. And I turn around and there's a 40 foot tall wolf batty. And she's like jittering around because of the fucking. lag. She's fucking jittering her. She's just, she's lag spiking around because she's trying to run her

VR rig out of a fucking Xbox 360 with a lag switch attached. I can hear the Half-Life 2 metal collision sound. Yeah. That's fucking awesome. Major fracture, detected. I didn't think it was going to be like G-mod Ragdoll when I was a kid. I was like, shit, put me on the light cycle. I want to go boost mode. We could put a VR headset on you and just start splashing outlets with water until you get sucked into the digital room. We got you. It's not going to work that way. I'm just getting electrocuted. And also I have, it's not going to work that way. I'm just going to get electrocuted. They're going to kill me. They're going to fry me. I'm going to die me. I'm going to die me. Yeah. I've done this four times in my life where I've dumped an entire glass of water or juice on

an electrical outlet and it's been fine. Well, usually they're protected against stuff like that. So I'd hope so. Some do have grounding if they're set up correctly. Or at worst, you know, they'll trip the breaker and not cause an issue there. I dumped a whole glass of orange juice in my computer once and it was fine. It's made so that your toddler doesn't kill itself. Or get sucked into the digital realm. True. Or your Brendan, I guess. I assume you were not a toddler when you did that. All accidents. That's why I don't, that's why I stopped drinking things at my desk in my old apartment because it was too close to the breaker and I'd put my cup there always. It's so funny that you say that to me because I never heard that, dude. I'm the spiller. I always spill whenever we

record anything. I have a cup of coffee right now and it's on the fucking edge. I might drop it all over myself Look like I peeped I did go to a pumpkin patch Two days ago And I I got bit And I counted the bug bites

50 times Jesus I'm gonna put up camera for you So you can see I kind of wish that you would turn On the camera And then it would You would just look like a fucking

Resident Evil monster With a big fucking bulbous head Through to be fair Look at my arms Jesus Christ Yeah that's a lot They're Nats They're not even mosquito bites

I don't know Nats bit They're the Midgey which we didn't used to get. Now we're getting their little black gnats that bite and I am allergic to every bug so they swell up like a mosquito bite no matter what I do.

So the last two days I've been slathered in calamine lotion. I've been fucking pink. I've been looking like Mr. Blobby like fucking had no clue nuts. Question. Yes.

Who the fuck is Mr. Blobby? Mr. Blobby is a United Kingdom character. A United Kingdom character. Much like the queen or Prince Charles. A United Kingdom, a UK character A British comedian character Audio medium You need to describe Mr. Blobby

Fucking horrifying, I would kill him Well, he looks like a big pink blob With googly eyes A dashing smile And a big and round fucking body He's bowling pin shape that he's pink He's like Homer Simpson but made out of meat It's like a clown grimace

If it was a bowling pin Oh you know what That's really accurate actually That does look like British Grimps I fucking hate Mr. Blobby. If I had a gun and three bullets and Hitler and Mr. Blobby were in the room, I'd shoot Mr. Blobby twice. Well, I'd shoot. I'd never shoot Hitler because then it would start, wouldn't it start like a, wasn't there a thing that people have talked about? No, I transport him right bit right when he's in the bunker. I teleport him out of the bunker right in the bunker at the

very end. That's the Joker's trick. What do you mean? Like when he, when he died in the bunker, I would teleport him out of the bunker when he's about to kill himself and I would do the job. Oh, I see. I don't want Hitler to be the guy who killed Hitler. I don't think I could do it. I feel like I'd let him kill himself. I think I'd have to do it and Mr. Blobby would be in the room and I'd shoot them both twice. But only if Mr. Blobby was not piloted by a human being. This all happened at the pumpkin patch. Yeah, this happened at the pumpkin patch. Oh, yeah, I was talking about Mr. Blubby. Anyway, I got bit to shit and I was a bit sad.

I didn't go to the corn maze, but I got the worst nachos I've ever seen in my fucking life With the pumpkin patch Who's selling nachos at a pumpkin patch? They always sell naches with the pumpkin patch They have like food vendors there Not my pumpkin patches That's so Iowan, that's crazy Got like a really neat

What was it like a hard cider slushy That was good But then I got the nachos Oh yeah I mean they do that Have you ever gotten Fucking Midwestern nachos Which are by far Maybe one of the worst

What is the difference Understand that Midwestern nachos They're fucking awful Because a lot of the time People will not use Drippy cheese Or melt the cheese What do you mean?

You just get shredded sheds cheese. Oh, I don't hate, no, I don't hate that. Like, that's how I do it at home. I don't use queso. You melt it, though? Yeah, of course you melt it. You don't fucking put, unmelted cheese. You don't fucking put the nachos in the oven at all. You just fucking unmelt, like cold fucking nachos. No, I, yeah, no, that's what I fucking got. And I hate those nachos and that happens sometimes. Well, they're not nachos then. They're not. They're just fucking chips with shredded cheese on top. Chips with shredded cheese on top. That sounds awful. Rancid. And all the pumpkins were rotting. And, uh, one of the goats.

licked my hand, which was cool. Okay, I like that. I love a goat. Yeah. Uh, and then my grandma, 70-year-old grandma was having a hard time getting around. She had to stop a lot, but then she wanted to go down to gigantic slide, and I had to be like, Nana, I love you. I can't go down to slide with you. My shoulders are too wide. I was like, I would not fit to slide. Oh, you talking about those toboggin things? No, it was a really big random slide. Like a big potato sack one or just a raw dog slide? Well, she went down it with my mom. I was just too big for it. Raw dog slide. Oh, I kind of thought it was one of those on track.

I love those that are on tracks because they'll just fucking kill somebody. Not even a while. Basically imagine a water slide without water. So slide. Just not good in any way, shape, or form. Half of the little games were broken. And once again, I did not get to go to go to the corn maze, which is one of the two reasons I wanted to go to the corn maze.

I got a maple donut. It was pretty good. Didn't want to go to the fucking haunted house. Do they have a haunted house? They don't have a haunted house. There are haunted houses around here, but they suck. That sucks. I haven't gone to a haunted house in so long.

I want it. Dude, I got really obsessed with the idea that if I ever had a home, I wouldn't build a haunted house during October. That's just expensive. My Halloween costume's already expensive. Fuck it. Who cares? Mine was $25. Yeah, but you just went a shaggy.

Yeah, I did. I'm phoning it in. That's just a guy. So I remember being a kid and going to the haunted house in my hometown of Denison, and they had a big funny haunted house. And always, every year, there was a guy at the end where the chainsaw that had no chain attached to it, right? which is like one of the big haunted house things as they chase you out. Yeah.

I was maybe 10 or 11 and I got to the end of the haunted house I was fucking freaking out. Chainsaw guy came out and I started running up the street and he started following me because my parents couldn't catch up to me so he kept following me

but he kept using the chainsaw while he was following me scaring me even further down the street for a good like five minutes trying to be like, hey kid, hey, but he didn't turn the chainsaw I mean it takes a while to turn the chainsaw but he didn't like drop the chainsaw

He's pressed. I was just running in my grandparents' house. It seems like a universal experience for that, though, just like haunted maze, there's a guy with a chainsaw. That's like the simple setup, though. It's a haunted maze guy with the chainsaw at the end, run him out. Yeah. It's just, I don't think he thought that I was going to have it like hoof it.

My grandparents lived close by, so it's just running to their house. Ours was different. Ours was weird because you had to go inside someone's house for the haunted house. Like they did it inside of their living room. They would just invite kids in their living room. That is weird. Parents should have said no, but I guess. They didn't. They wouldn't give candy the kids that were too scared either. They were just like if you're a pussy, you can't have candy. Kind of be smooth. I miss I miss getting a can of Coke. I miss getting a can of Coke so bad. Oh, dude. Used to go trick or treating. You get a can of Coke and be like, oh, fuck yeah, this is the house to give the soders. Dude, that was the house that gave the fucking chubs. What, chubby, chubby. Do you know what I'm talking about those fucking sodas that are like chubbies? I got full cans, dude. I think that's a Canadian thing. Is that a Canadian thing? Chubbies might be a Canadian thing. It's a little.

Are you talking like the tiny little ones? Oh, you're talking about bug juice. You're talking about like the fake bug juice. Oh, yeah. I know what you're talking about because you're talking about the worst bug juice. Yeah, it's called, okay, it's literally just called chubby. Yeah, there was a house that would give a chubby. It was like a little soda.

They had bunch of flavors and it was kind of dog shit. But like as a kid, dude, who cares? You got a soda. So you had to tell your parents like, I went to that house and they gave me a chubby. They went, what? They don't know what that means. They're French. Oh, that's true.

you can see like they're like oh good for you what is we did not have that here what the fuck you did not say that right thing I was looking up normal bug juice and then I found lobster lobster lobster attracted made from real ground up salmon eggs

raw bloody tuna oil why not call it lobster juice works on crab and shrimp dude I was looking up normal bug juice which is just like a little sippy drink that you get like a gas station oh okay I have I have seen bug juice I have seen those little bottle things. You see them at the gas station in the U.S. I was looking up little sippies and I found ProCure

bug juice. Lobster attracted. We have like a, we bought a paste for, uh, for getting, um, oh my God, what the fuck are those called? Walai. Yeah, we, we went to get walleye bait one time and it was just like a paste that smells like piss because they love piss. Have I ever talked about that one time we went fishing like super fucking far down to, to like this random river? And this old guy just would not stop talking to us about tips and tricks on how to get fish. Yes. Did I talk about the fact that he wanted us to piss on our lures, our bait? He was like, you should piss on your bait.

I've never heard of that. Yeah, he was like, no, he was so adamant. It was super weird. It was like, no, no, you should piss on your bait. The fish love piss. I mean, that might attract some fish, the urea in it, yeah. Yeah, they love it because it's warm and stinky. Speaking of haunted mazes, this is like the one time of year.

I can go, oh, wow, it's nice that Scarewins is not too far for me. What is Scarewins? There is an amusement park called Carolins. And for Halloween, it turns into Scarewins for a month. And it's a, um, like Nottsbury Farm and, uh, fucking, yeah, not scary farm. Yeah. Same vibe. Oh, God, they're doing a conjuring tie-in this year.

That's strange. Oh, they actually have tie-ins. That's always fun. I like that. They usually don't. This is a, they might have done it before and I just didn't notice it. Oh, this place is huge, actually. Yeah, they make the entire theme park, like a Halloween theme park for a month.

Oh, that's so fun. If you lived near it, like, you would have a high, a common high school job is going there to be, like, one of the scares because you could make, like, bring your costumes from home. Oh, they have scare zones. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. I love scare zones. That's crazy that you have to pay $19 to not be scared. It's really, it's great.

They do that at a Cedar Point, too. Cedar Point does their hollow weekends. You have to buy the no boon. Yeah, you get a no boo necklace and it shines and it tells the scare actors that you don't want to get like actually scared. If you go to the harvest fear, if you go to the harvest fear location on the map here, are you going to win favorite son or are you going to lose favorite son again? Oh, fuck's sake. I don't want favorite son. You must explain that.

What do you mean? I don't want to talk about favorite son. It's a, it's a dog shit mechanic from Fear 3 and I completely forgot about it. Oh my God. I know what you're talking about. fucking favorite son. Wow. So I just remember being, oh, yeah, one wins, one loses.

Like how well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Who will be the favorite son? Who is Alma's favorite son this time? I have one favorite son point over Mandy for now. One character can use guns all the time and one character's powers he could possess someone to temporarily use a gun. It's insane. God, fucking favorites.

I had forgotten it was called favorite son. That's what stuck with me the most. Like, oh, fuck. How did, how did I forget? I just thought, oh yeah, one person wins, right? I didn't, I mean, I just didn't register the favorite sun text the first time through and how fucking absurd it was. I was always obsessed with wanting to go to the...

What's the really big one where it's like a bunch of... Universal Horror Nights. I want to go to Universal Horror Nights so bad, dude. They got Five Nights at Freddy's this year. Do they? Oh, shit. They do, and it's like actual Jim Henson Animatronics. Is it actually five nights at Freddy?

Yes, it is actually real fun nights at Freddy's. Okay. And they got the actual animatronics. Wow. Okay. What? I'm not surprised, though. That's the thing.

I saw a walkthrough of it the other day. It's fucking rad. That's what I'm saying. Like, I'm so obsessed with Universal Horror Nights because the fucking walkthroughs are so cool. This is what I was doing like two nights ago until like 2 a.m. I was just watching videos about Universal Horror Night haunted houses. I don't even like haunted houses. I mean, they're very high production, though, which is like, so they opened a

new universal park this year, right? I have no fucking idea. I was there this year or last year because it's like they had Disney World, and Universal opened like a brand new theme park complex that I think connects the other one or something like that. I'm pretty sure. It had like a how to train your dragon land and a Mart Nintendo one, I think. Oh, I, okay, I did, I did see that.

It was like the fucking, Mario, because people were pissed about there being J.K. Rowling land or some shit. Oh, well, yeah, because they already had the Harry Potter worlds. They made like another connecting one. Maybe you could take the train between them now. I have no idea. Probably not. That'd be old. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

But I love, I don't know. I like walking around and looking at high production value shit. Like I would love to go to Disneyland just to be like, I remember Lions King, shit like that. I remember my first roller coaster where my wife said, it's a wooden roller coaster, so it's going to be less scary, I think. And then I said, okay, I'll believe you. Wow, I don't agree. And then she got me on the wooden roller coaster, and I almost broke my hand gripping the rail.

How hard do you grip? My first roller coaster, I was like maybe four or five. And my dad was like, you're old enough to go on this coaster. It was a little kitty park near me. And I remember throwing up, and then I didn't want to ride a roller coaster ever again. and now I really like roller coasters as of the last like 15 years. I can handle one because I've been on the scariest fucking one imaginable. So now I can handle it.

What was the, I mean... A wooden roller coaster, imagine a normal roller coaster, but not smooth, bumpy. And consistently, you're looking at the faded paint on the track going... No, I know what those are like. I have like... I've been on a wooden roller coaster before. You can feel every single bump on the track.

You can feel every single bump on the fucking road. it is a fucking nightmare. Those are the real rides. Like the county fair ones, they set up temporarily and could have easily made a mistake assembling it. Like, this is a temporary roller coaster. Yeah, that's some fucking final destination shit. I once had, uh, when I was a kid, I was on a different,

uh, it was a county fair ride. And they had to stop the ride because I was screaming so loud. Oh my God. How fucking loud. I was screaming so fucking loud. They thought I was like dying. They stopped the ride midride. It was one of the spinning wheel things.

where you get in like a little car. You do have a booming, loud-ass voice. I am very loud. Maybe they were actually freaked out. Yeah, I have always been loud, so I wonder if you were to see. I wasn't even, to be honest, wasn't even scared. I was just yelling because I was having a great time. Like, that's the worst part of it.

I wasn't even scared. I was just yelling. I just freaked them to the fuck out. That's awesome. I went to Cedar Point for the Halloween thing a couple of years ago. It was like two years ago, maybe. We didn't really go for the Halloween thing. a friend of mine, wanted to just go ride roller coasters.

And I was like, that's fine. I don't like doing the haunted houses. We were walking around the scare zone. And one of these scare actors, like, ran in front of me and did that thing where they slide and have, like, the metal on their hand, so they make all the sparks. And I was so focused on trying not to look scared, so I didn't look like a pussy that I just went,

hey, man, nice slide. And he looked a little defeated and then looked at me and said, thanks, and walked away. Aw, you made him depressed. What the fuck? That's fucked up, man. I was just really focused on not getting scared in that scare zone. That poor guy. To be fair, dude, I could never do fucking scare acting.

As fun as that sounds, I feel like people would just punch me in the balls. That's why I really don't want to do haunted houses. I feel like I'd punch somebody. Well, that's the thing. I knew people who were scurers at scare wins, and they would get slugged sometimes. But around 10 p.m. there's the shift because you have people getting drunker. And so it's like, I'm going to fight the scarer. But then it'd be like high schoolers who might have also been.

drinking a bit who then start like fighting with a guess oh man look you better get all the way bitch i'll cut you and they're like come on do it i'll kill you bitch i'll fuck you up with my freddy kruger mask and they'll like get into it right in the lines which i because i'm lucky the rules now on their guide and it's way more survival tips is like massive where it says we could throw you up for any reason no masks like they've tried to mitigate it over the years oh i mean they that i'm not surprised by the no mask that's the same thing for like yeah when people go to like any amusement park you go there with like your full fucking costume and then people are like people kind of think you're part of the show and it's like I get it you don't want you don't want some fucking

kit to think you're Mickey Mouse it's like we're in a blue polo shirt to Best Buy you don't do it yeah I mean there's hundreds of stairs that's not a fucking thing stop it 100% it is it is a million yeah it definitely what oh yeah blue polo shirt in Best Buy is not a thing that you're allowed to do no no you can you could do it you're just gonna get confused for an employee. Yeah. Like if you were, okay, I thought it was like an actual rule. Say, sir, you're right a blue polo shirt. You got to leave. I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Yeah, sir, you look like an employee. You have to leave. It's like a red polo in Target or a green polo in Harris's theater from the back. People will go, oh, excuse me. Where's the thing?

Like, they'll thank you're an employee. Or like being racist at the Walmart. Yeah, I mean, scare ones made their, they try to make some scares stick out because they got a bunch of people who would be really, really, really fucking good at roller skates. But they wouldn't just put them on their feet. They would put them on their knees as well. Because I remember one of the scare zones. Put them on their knees. They would have a pair of roller skates on their feet and then put them like knee pads. They put another pair of roller skates on their knees.

So what would happen is they had like a bloodborne-ish themed one for a few years that was haunted London for a scare zone. And you go across the bridge. You'd have like that welcome to the area. Like people doing that. Then all of a sudden you'd hear, stop him your grace. And like this guy would run out of the fog. He'd like dive onto the ground and he'd start.

he'd start sliding with like sparks flying out because he was on his knees at that point so like you would see something really low coming up to you really fucking fast and people would scream that's so crazy because you just see something run at you would be really low to the ground

and going way faster and smoother than it should your ape brain goes you don't know how to react to it oh bloody techers exactly so you had the roller skate expert so it's like oh wow that's really that's a guy in a Freddie Fazbearer costume and oh fuck he has helies

it is not helies No, I saw Freddy Fezber in Hewis. Is it actually kind of just, you saw Freddy Fasbear and Healy? Yeah. That would you just said? Yeah, there's this kind of big Barracosts one year. He's like, he's running forward. And he did like, he did the Healy's move where he puts his arms up in the air.

And one foot's in front of the other and went, like, that fucking Freddy's got Healy's under that. Damn. For a God, if I saw Freddie Fazbear with Healy's hitting a vape coming towards me, I'm fucking cooked. I'm done. He didn't have a vape, but he had Healy's. The full ensemble, you need the full onsubble, you need to be hitting a vape while you're fucking rolling in that shit you need to you did the fog needs to come i did punch the shit out of my sister once for scaring me so um i maybe i would not be a great uh patron of these places you have to

get the no boo necklace it's just dude i don't know man i'm it's just i it's a reaction i don't want to fucking punch i don't think that billy could buy the no boo necklace me with tears my eyes i look at your husband and put on the fucking necklace and say you can't come you may not come by no boo sorry does he just does boo just fade away like at a david lynch movie like opacity 100 to zero just gone like like back to the future when they disappear out of the photograph dissolves i do like how they made the no boo necklace more elaborate just up the price because it used to be like four it's 499 it's like five bucks so just like a glow stick basically you kind of have to make if you in the dark i can see what happened though you kind of have to make sure that it's like

well it was just very obvious it was just a glow stick but it probably happened was parents went oh we could just, you know, buy a bunch of glow sticks. And we get one for each of our kids. And look, they're not scared. And they went, fuck, we're losing money. Make it a special color. They got those two. Okay, make it really elaborate. He has, yeah, make it sparkle and jingle. Make it go, don't scare me. If you think of high schoolers who are being scarers or adults who are like, I want to come be a scarer. And they see the kid who has like the knockoff, no scare necklace. They're going to double their efforts. Yeah. Oh, you, you didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't.

Did it purchase the real necklace? I'm going to ruin this kid's fucking life. Like, oh, he's got a counterfeit necklace. Like, the park doesn't even have to tell them to aim. Somebody get the grabber. If you were a scare actor and you saw a toddler, would you scare the toddler? If they're not wearing a no boo necklace brother, I am setting the into the dimension. I would feel so bad.

I could never. I'm going to eat worms in front of their face. I'm sorry. I would freak to get out. Is there an age limit? Probably not, right? I thought it said no children. Like, no, like, do not.

like, please don't bring kids. I'll guess 17 years of age or younger must be accompanied. Like, I've seen kids. They're like 10. I've never seen, like, infants there, though. Bringing your fucking baby so that they learn the fear of God, like, as soon as possible. Mommy needs her blood bag. I got to bring my kid.

I like that they have A positive or B positive. A positive is spirits blood bag. B positive is wine-based. I was looking at the blood bags. I've always absolutely loved horror cocktails, like fucking blood bags with rum and, like, goopy-ass syrup in there. That's just fun, man. I'm a scare actor, and I see like a single mom walking around with a little baby in her arms, and she's got a no-boo necklace, and the baby doesn't. The baby's getting the full brunt of the

attack, man. That's so fucking awful, dude. Ooh, $17 at the gift shop, dickhead. Scare them and point them towards the fucking direction of the gift shop, man. Hey, Scarewin's staff, we're going to be selling no boo necklaces in each section. We want to see who's section sells the most this year trying to push people to buy the necklace.

Dude, that'd be kind of fucking crazy. Yeah, because they'd really be gutting to like be as annoying and evil as possible to try to sell no boot necklaces in their section.

I'd bring a flashlight, like Alan Wake. I think for me personally, I think I would buy one if they were really fucking annoying. Being annoying is so much worse than being actually scary. The thing is they're very selective

like when you go there. Oh yeah, of course. they go for the people with like the big reactions. They're seeing like who's like grouped up together. Who's just like they choose carefully. Like some people have been doing that there for probably over some like 10, 20 years. It's so regional. Like people will come who have like normal jobs.

So I think it's not every night. I think it's just like some weekends. I'm not sure of the schedule. I doubt it's every night. It wouldn't make sense. They make it fit in like, oh yeah, I could do this for like. It's basically being the National Guard for Halloween. You just spend like three days a week for October.

just scaring children. That's fun as hell, though. That's how fun. I'll get a metal for it, too. It's a no boo necklace. I got to pee. I'm going to be honest. I'll be right back.

You're shitting yourself. You're shitting yourself. That's Mafia 3. You hear about that kid shit himself during the new Mafia game too, and now that I know it's a bit. No fucking way. Yeah, he shit himself again.

And now that I know it's both of them are a bit, I go, oh, I lose my way. I lose. That's not funny. I heard he streamed again and he did the you're shitting yourself bit again and now I know that it's just a bit which makes it. It was like finding out the fucker right and the pussy guy is it real. That ruins it. No, no, no.

It can be like AI or someone like doing an imitation. No, it was the same channel and everything. No. That really fucking ruins it, man. Wait, no. It's to go to the bathroom. No, it can't be. Is it like for the remaster or the for the old country? The new game that came

out. I have a Billy questions. for you guys. If you could make a haunted house for any license, you get to pick which license would you choose? Evil dead. Didn't it already happen? Fuck. I feel like Halloween Horror Nights probably already did an evil dead one when

Rise and yeah. They did one for Rise. I was going to say Alien and that already happened and I told that story because that was the extra terrestrial they had at Disney long ago that got turned into a Lilo and Stitch ride. I thought I told that I had to have. I don't think you have. I've never heard that. There was a ride

Disney that was called the extra terrestrial alien encounter where you would... Yeah, that's the one where they strapped you to the chairs for five minutes, right? Yeah, it was longer than five. Yeah. Didn't fucking defunct land or something probably made a video on that? Probably.

I went to that when I was very young. Like, it was new, but it was going to be an alien ride. They just didn't get the license. So they made it, they made it like an original Disney thing or whatever. But it was still like, oh, this thing is fucked because it was a very formative memory extremely early on because it wasn't like a ride like strap yourself into this chair

and this thing is loose in the room with you and aliens just fucking chase you don't they basically yeah yeah okay i do again i feel like i've told it if i haven't you have never said anything about it i learned about it because of a video that was like disney's scariest ride ever that you've never heard about like some shit like that was short-lived and they made it a leo in the stitch thing. That's not surprising. Well, because I remember, like, I was freaking the fuck out. I remember, like, kids were coming out crying. Like, it was extremely intense. My dad

thought it was the funniest ride on the planet. That's awesome. Just sitting there people watching. Because it was in, I think it was in Epcot as well. It was an Epcot. Because I know the the Hollywood one had the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror thing, like, sure. This was like, oh, Epcot, you know, it's

like the future, like the scary ride is supposed to be Space Mountain. Like, oh, it's a, you know, roller coaster in the dark. That's a little scary. Well, scary for a different reason, really. Right. Exactly. It wasn't like, oh, it's an alien encounter. It's like, oh, you go on this ride. There's going to be an alien. Like, oh, it's like Disney. And it's like, they have goofy puppets outside. They're like, we're going to see. We're trying to find this alien. And then it's like, oh, we made contact with an alien. What does it look like? Oh, fuck. I mean, they, it was supposed to be aliens. It had wings. It was a, oh, God. It was like,

a really oh my god yeah i went to just look at the image of it this was the fucking rat yeah what oh my okay it's just a bunch of people strep to a chair staring at these this giant fucking creature in a tube what the fuck and then the lights turn off and it makes it feel like it's running right behind you well star trek aliens

are like it's fun up there yeah those are the star trek aliens there's just like green silly green cartoon aliens in the back dude. What the fuck? Are those the the guys like, well, there's an alien in here. The entire premise is, we're going to show you how a teleporter works. This is Fred. Fred's teleported out. Now we're going to teleport Fred back.

This will be awesome. Uh-oh. We're locking onto planet Giger, anus instead. And it's like, and it's in the tube and everyone's screaming. The lights go out, you hear the glass shatter and like the lights come on. The glass is broken. Yeah, no fucking shit. I'm fucking wonder that

scared children. Well, it had And I have like the 4D theater effects, you know, is you have like the chair rumbles, like you feel drooling on you and stuff. Like, it's in the room. It's killed somebody. It's like, it's like the one time I went to see,

when I went to see fucking the Super Mario movie in 40. Oh God, 40X. They gave you mushrooms. It smelled like fucking hot dog water through the entire movie. It was awful. I was like, dude in the windy room. Dude, it was so hot too.

Every time they would show Bowser and it would be like, oh, there's lava here. It's fucking hot. of shit. I hated it. Also, there were screaming children. That did not help. This is the VR chat thing over again, though. It's like, it's the Mario movie. I feel like it's different. I feel like it's different. Nobody was drunk. Oh, I think I might have been drunk. You were, you were drunk. Actually, you know what? I was definitely drunk. It was a fucking Mario movie. No fucking shot I was going to go watch that movie sober. What's the Minecraft movie pretty sober? Yeah, how was that?

You had fun? Uh, no. Yeah, that's why I thought, because I didn't have fun and I was not. Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure.

I don't know what the fuck. Sure. Patreon questions. If you're part of the $5 and above tiers on Patreon, you can ask a question for the Patreon Q&A. I don't know how many people made it here. I'm going to be honest. Today, This was a weird one. This was a weird one with the VR chat shit and everything.

Very strange episode. Let's see here. Rina asks if you could have any game developer, creative director would be in charge of a game. You thought that had a poor director, other problems that would just like to see them take a swing at it. What dev and which game would it be and why? Example they provided was Ken Levine and dishonored.

My example immediately was give David Cage Bioshock Infinite. He's going to make it more racist. Oh, God, I fucking... It's a good ride to make. Like, it already had the rail. the ziplining stuff the skyhook excuse me the sky hook yeah yeah yeah the skyhook i don't want him in charge of anything anymore after i read the fucking shitties do you guys know about that one time he was they were apparently watching the news at quantum dreams office and it was david cage there

it was just like a terrorist attack and then he looked at one of the workers there that was like a person of color and just went oh is that your cousin david cage did yeah that was one of the things that they talked about during like the the court yeah they and also there was another time where he he started crying and saying like we don't make games for it like man that guy so David Cage fucking saw I didn't hear about that one I didn't know he was crying while saying it I'm not yeah he was crying while saying it which makes it infinitely funnier if anything but man what a piece of shit mine is I want Negoshi to come back to the yakuza the franchise because I really hate everything that like a dragon has put out ever since he left

like fucking Hawaii guidance infinite wealth I hate those games dude there's been a drop in quality that is very noticeable and for some reason people act like they haven't jumped the shark at least a billion times you literally jump the shark in infinite wealth that's I've been pirate yakuza you do it in both I cannot believe those games games get as much praise as they do. They don't play well. They're not good, man. They're not good enough.

I don't think they're bad. I just think they're disappointing after what we, like the run we had from one to six. One to seven. Or I guess seven. Seven is very good as well, actually. But seven still has issues that I feel, this is like one of my fucking, this is like one of the subjects where I could talk about it for hours because there's so much that I, I care too much about this series.

and people hate when I talk about it and they get really mad because I'm very opinionated so I'm just gonna stop with that. Let Tim Kane take a shot at Cyberpunk 277 make it a real RPG this time Tim Kane, you can do it.

Oh, that'd be tight actually. I could go for that. I could go for that. Fuck you, I'm giving Tim Kane Hayes. What? Was he still doing Outer Worlds? He is doing Outer Worlds too, yes. Oh, that's coming like next week.

Yeah, it's out soon. It's practically here. next week. I think it's going to be like a bit close right. Yeah. Yeah. I totally forgot about that game. Give a flappy bird to Tim Schaefer. I don't fucking know. I have no opinion on this matter. Give space space D.F9 to Tinen from Rimworld. Ooh, who actually you care too much about that game. You said Tim Schaefer and you activated my double five. I know. I know you you care far too much about it. It was going to be a cool colony sim and then double fight dropped it because they wanted more fucking money for broken agents psychonauts two needed three fucking funding cycles i don't care how

good the game is it's too is so good though i don't care how good it is i'm still mad about space base i'm not playing it i will carry this torch kojima take a rip at detroit become human who cares absolutely not i do not want him anywhere near that give david cage metal gear give david cage Death Stranding 3 I was I say David Cage Star Wars Yeah like a freaky Freaky Friday situation

I want David Cage Star Wars Dude dude dude I got it Todd Howard give Todd Howard Omacron the Nomad Soul Oh God You see that Bowie You could climb that Bowie Oh man

Does he still make games Or does he just Well he was the head of the chess team When he was a kid So like No I mean Todd Howard Does he know He was head of the chess team

When he was a kid No he is like stepping down soon Is he creative director or something Stepping down I think soon yeah Okay after Elder Scrolls probably is going to be like, I'm done. Yeah, so he's working for the next 15 years. That's right.

I totally forgot that that game doesn't even have a spec of anything, not even an info or anything. They only announced it to Shield from Fall Out 76 shit. They just wanted to like, they wanted to pivot. Like, look, this is coming. Was it a title screen? I don't even know if I'd call it a title screen. It was like a Metroid four tier fucking.

It was trees with a title. So they said, stop being, please stop talking about how fucked up fault 76 is talk about this instead it didn't work yeah it was they i mean all the retrospectives were just going yeah we had nothing it was just let's do this to for any other press oh did they actually talk about the fact that they did it because of that i didn't know that i mean smex employee i think some current employees just basically said that yeah we did that just i mean it was obvious but the thing is it made it worse oh that's so rough because all the 76 fans like oh my god they're already moving on to the other game i think the last news i saw on it was

them saying, yeah, we still haven't really gotten properly started. So I think they're still doing Starfield DLC since they went, yeah. No, they're not. I'm pretty sure. They're still doing Starfield DLC. No, there's no way. It did sell quite a bit. There's no way that game is still going.

I mean, it got an expansion pack last September year ago. Huh. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, there isn't the one coming out. I thought people hated that game. I have no opinion on it because I haven't played it. So I was like, oh, it looks like a TNG game. And then, oh, this looks like a TNG game.

stay all get me it like you can start on like a dragon i could talk about my problems with starfield for literally really you should i didn't know you were opinionated about starfield at all if i'm honest i kind of thought for you was a brenden would be should he'd be the most opinionated people on starfield from a narrative perspective let me run you through a quest real quick yeah right there is a quest in starfield it is one of the main quests there are these monsters called terror morphs right and through these quests these terror morphs are kind of scary there's an actual good interaction with them and you're like fighting.

Basically the equivalent of death clause in the fallout universe where they're just kind of like horrifying creatures that fucking kill everybody if they get. They're basically alien death clause, right? And so throughout this mission, you're learning about like them, learning about the people they've killed.

And there's a lot of like really good bits of quest design as you're going because you go to like an abandoned cube factory and you have to like figure out what you need to do with the alien because they make the food. They make the food out of cubes in Starfield. The food is cubes. Oh, the food is cubes.

The food is cubes. That's such a fucking, I'm sorry, but whenever a sci-fi world does the fucking food is cubes thing, I kind of... It's unrelated. I mean, I want to say that, but I do think prey might have done that

and I do really like prey. Oh, yeah, it did. Oh, wait, no, everything is cubes and prey. That's right, because of... Yeah, everything become cube. That's right, I forgot about that. You're doing this thing where everybody is trying to figure out how to deal with this problem

and you're like negotiating with people, you're going through it. You have like, all your companions are from this scientific guild basically you don't have any companions outside of that all the named characters are part of Constellation which is like the science is awesome like Neil deGrasse Tyson fucking jerked off into a pool

and they all apparate out of the pool right they're like science is epic and awesome I'm a cowboy with a I'm a cowboy dad I'm a lady who science so I had lady who science with me because I thought it was appropriate you get to the end of this quest line you have two choices because it's a Bethesda game so they give you two fucking choices right one choice is

Is it good and evil or is it no no no no no no no it's a bit more nuanced but it's fucking stupid Okay. So your choice is to deal with the terromorphs because you find out they're actually the little heat leeches that leach on this ships. They grow into the terramorphs if they're left alone, like they hide and, oh shit, these little bugs turn into terramorphs. Fuck. So you have two options. Your options are release of fucking horrifying genetic virus that takes care of them or create and clone and recreate their natural predator and disperse them throughout the galaxy on planets, which are these slow-moving giraffes that would just eat the heat leeches.

And it would be like 30 to 40 years, but it would take care of the problem eventually, and it would taper down their numbers. Guess what one the scientist lady gets mad at if you pick. Is it the predator one? It's the predator one. All of them get mad at you if you pick that one. That one's the worst option is the more naturalistic option that doesn't release a horrifying genetic virus that could mutate and switch to people. Why? Why is the predator one the bad one?

Because they're stupid and the writing is done by a moron. The game is written by, there are so many cool little moments of the game that could have been cool. Like when you finish the Ranger quest line and the two options are killed a bad CEO or take the money from the bad CEO and you kill the bad CEO who's been displacing families

and killing people and the character walks up to you and says what are you doing? He created so many jobs what have you done? And I'm like, replace him. Oh my God. I was like replace him as his CEO.

He's just a guy like replace him. The company exists still. You got to be fucking kidding me. Yeah, like I'm the CEO now. we'll change policy keep what you that's the conservation one's the most insane though because that's just

how it works in the real world let me hit you with one more insane quest line because the writing is one of my biggest fucking sticklers in Starfield there is a quest long where you go to a paradise planet and you find out they have a colony ship that has arrived from Earth they've taken 200 years to get there they arrived before Earth created faster than light travel right so they left before

Earth created FTL in a colony ship so they've been in space 200 years slowly moving towards this paradise planet that has already been changed into like a corporate vacation spot. So by the time they get there, they're ready to settle. It's already taken over.

Like humans are already there, right? Your options to deal with this colony ship are, get them a new drive, and then they can go and find a new planet, enslave them, uh, or kill them. Oh, brother. You can't kill the corporate guys or,

or settle or like, settle the dispute. It's only like a hundred people in the ship. So there's no way you can't like settle the fucking dispute and find them a parcel of land to live on. They need the whole fucking planet as a paradise planet. That doesn't make any fucking sense. There's no rational option

It's kill them, enslave them Or give them an FTL drives They can fuck off and find the different planet This is a game where there's so much shining potential in it Where like there are bits in this game Where you can take a trait that gives you your parents And you'll go and travel to different worlds Your parents will be there vacationing with the stipend you give them

And that's such a fucking funny bit To go to like different planets And your parents are at like the neon cyberpunk planet And they're like, I don't think we should be here What's that guy out to see on some kind of drugs or like them getting scammed by a shitty petting zoo there's so many little moments in the game that could have been fucking cool if the writing wasn't brain dead they did a kessel run and then you the kessel run is they hype up this moment in the game where like you do this crazy run and it's just

you running in the fucking winter for like 10 minutes shooting dogs understand starfield makes me upset from a narrative perspective on so many fucking levels because people talk well the game's bad because it doesn't have aliens no the game's bad because the writing wasn't thought out beyond we have to make Everybody happy. Technically does have aliens, doesn't it? Technically, kind of. It's like the whole story is like, well, because the game resets and it's a time loop, which is even dumber that they wanted to do the quest.

Yeah, so the game resets at the end and you new game plus, which is even dumber that they went through a narrative decision to, like the Bethesda narrative decision where let the player do everything because it doesn't make any fucking sense to not have real fucking goddamn consequences when you time loop anyway in a fucking video game. So you do everything and then you fucking time. loop and then they want you to do everything again in the new game plus you are the fucking starborn by the way oh right because you get dragon shouts that is so creatively bankrupt

you get dragon shouts but you don't do any actual dungeons you just go into space collect the fucking mini puzzle and then you get a power no wait it's it's not actually called the starborn is it it's called the starborn mandi no wait i thought that was a joke when you told me that that's Andy, it's called the starboard. Andy, you're called the starboard. I thought there was a Joebock. Dragon. Okay, now imagine this.

Imagine if the game had narrative consequences. Imagine if the game had problems, and there is a mechanic in the game that nobody's going to fucking find out because you can do everything in one fucking play-through. There's a mechanic where you new game plus and Constellation, your home base, has different events happen.

Rare events can happen in Constellation that are genuinely cool, but because the game is no consequences, you're going to do everything in one run, and then not do the new game plus because you're going to be bored at that point. So i.e., when you beat the game and the new game plus, you can go to Constellation.

Everybody in Constellation could be you now. Or one of the characters could be evil. There are like 10 to 12 different new game plus things that can happen to the Constellation faction because of your decisions, but it doesn't matter because you're going to do everything and there are no consequences. Is there maybe, I'm trying really hard to give them

the benefit of the doubt with this one, but is there maybe like build variety where it's like, oh, well, next, next one, I'm going to be a space wizard or whatever. No. There's no magic system. There's no magic system. And the dialogue checks do not fucking matter.

They are all flavor. There is no dialogue check that you will pass and then it will have like interesting consequences. Every time it feels like there's going to be interesting consequences, it doesn't fucking matter because every quest line ends in choice A, choice B, maybe a choice C. That's fucking it. Like I said, I get really heated about Starfield narrative design. It makes me upset.

I'd give Vampire Masquerade 2 to Swery. Honestly, I'd fucking play that. The bits I've seen of that game, I'm like, oh, like, this actually looks, it doesn't look as dire as I thought, but I'm going, wait, they're showing like very, very controlled gameplay for the real one. Okay, the real, yeah. Swearies, I would love, I would love if he did that. I would love to see that.

I would love it, but unfortunately, we must be tortured. No, it's almost here. It's almost it. Ten will almost be fixed. Ten is so close to being fixed. Will it be good, though? It looks good from what I've seen. It's not an RPG. It looks better than the first time they showed it, so at least there's that.

I wish it was a real RPG, but... It looks more linear, but it looks better than I expected. I mean, the original was linear technically. Well, yeah, but I'm like, I thought it would be extremely boxed in knowing Chinese room. But looking at it, it's like, oh, this looks better than I expected. Is this Chinese room now? Yes. I don't even know who has.

the fucking game anymore. But I don't know if they rebooted it completely or if they picked up... They did. Oh, no. They totally scrapped a hard suit lab. They were talking about how it was like unsalvageable or some shit at one point. Brendan just talked about Starfield. We can't talk about a game that's not even out.

Yeah. This isn't press start. I do think it's really fucking funny that when they were asked like, oh, what are you, do you guys think there's ever going to be a vampire masquerade, uh, fucking three, and they were like, if there is, it's not going to be from us. Paradox were like, fuck that. Deputy CEO said if Bloodlines 2 is successful, God willing, Bloodlines 3 will be made by someone else. Wow. Almost a direct quote. It goes through my head every once in a while.

I mean, to be fair, coming into a game that like someone else had made and you have to restart it, like that whole process probably is such a fucking nightmare. Well, wasn't it always paradox that had the game? they it was always in their hands it was just that they they were like we're not publishing it if if fucking if we if there's a three we're not making it i mean i think paradox just kind of cooled on RPGs in general because they had like a tyranny and i think did they do um oh my god they didn't do they do pillars of eternity too that that's like outside of my wheelhouse of games yes wait no they did not fuck maybe what's just tyranny because they did okay oh they did do pillars of pillars of of eternity. Yeah, okay, because they had like Mountain Blade. Yeah, they had a few. They were battle attack, of course. Oh, man. There were a few that they were like publishing games for. I think they just paradox, Mike, oh, you know what? We actually like doing these map painting games more. Like RPGs are just kind of a different. There are a very different thing to wrangle.

They're a different beast, especially when they take 16 years. How long did it take for bloodlines? actually. It started development in 2018. Because they wanted to like long ago but it's like how do you even count where the current version started? Oh my God. It's been that long since the first game. Man. Good question. Got us going for a while

didn't it? Impromptu press start episode. Lombda Man asks what was your favorite Halloween costume you or someone you know has worn? I feel like I've done this one because I talked about the when I was Buzz Light Year one year and kids kept crying around me and I thought it was scary and it was just that my wings kept hitting them

when I turned around that I wasn't noticing. I do remember that. I was like, I just kept turning and my wings kept like batting people in the face. I didn't realize it. That's so fucking funny. I like, I remembered recently that I did have another,

because I think the first time I, we did this question, I talked about doing Darth Vader, because of course, like every kid did Darth Vader, but I actually remembered that when I had another costume that I liked way more, and it was Agumon from Digimon

when the first Digimon We got to fight I was Pikachu We got to fight up I got to fight the picture of me as Pikachu We're gonna have to fight buddy You gotta fight the picture of me as Pikachu You gotta fight me as Pikachu dude I'm sorry I was Pikachu

You gotta fight me I'm sorry We're gonna have to tussle You know what I should have done dude this year This year I'm going out I'm going as fucking Billy the puppet Get it? Do you get this? I get those Yeah yeah do you get this

This is my name Yeah big soft fan and also that's my name. But I'm going as Billy the Puppet. I should have gone as Agumon because they still sell fucking the 90s costume of Agumon, but for adults when I went to Spirit Halloween.

There's an adult Agumon costume? Like the big Agamon. Yeah, for adults that have big Agumon fan. Not even Growlman or Mecca Graalmon or Mecca Giggaalmon. Just fucking Agumon, the baby version, the fucking Digimon rookie. Agumon adult costume. Oh, God.

It's so tall. You found it? Yeah, it looks fucked, doesn't it? It looks real fucked up, doesn't it? The fucking snort laughed because it looked like the Kraft Mac and Cheese Dragon. What? Yeah, there was a Cheesesosaurus Rex. Oh, yeah.

He was a Diasaur. Not a dragon. Cheesesosaurus Rex. Wow. I haven't thought about the Cheezesosaurus Rex in years. I fucking hated him, dude. I really hate the idea of anything that's just made of cheese. especially wet cheese

sopping wet fucking cheese he was always extremely shiny disgusting is there like does he still exist I don't think he still exist oh my god no they threw him into a volcano like a few years ago I just saw fucking yasify cheesosaurus regs

I was like 10 I made a zombie costume and I tried really hard on it like I ripped up clothes and like rolled around in the backyard in the dirt and shit to make it and I remember I was really mad because I broke my wrist a couple weeks before how long so I'd have a stupid cast on, ruin my costume. But I like that one.

I tried really hard. I had that bad Halloween, but where I, something was going wrong with my toe where I'd have surgery on it in middle school. Remember, I was able to trick or treat. I was like contained in the house. I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck. Our costumes were always kind of ruined because of Canada moment. And it was like really stupid cold out.

So you had to wear a coat over your costume. So it's like, if anything that sounds like helpful, because costumes get hot as far. fuck trick-or-treating like you wear any mask you're like out there hauling candy i'm talking like it's snowing outside type cold where it's like really uncomfortable i remember there there was like a few years where like me and my sisters would go outside in costumes with our big fucking poofy coats on it's like you could not tell what the fuck we were spider man with a jacket on yeah no i i i the

the the midwest classic costume i definitely did like i'm pretty sure you must have been like a zombie or like I did do like the fucking ghost face I did ghost face once I'm not gonna lie I just found I was I was trying to find a picture of the Pikachu costume and instead I found a horrifying picture of one of my Chuck E. Cheese birthdays

actually you had Chuck Echee's birthdays that's badass I need to share this because this looks like this looks like an analog horror picture holy shit the way he's sitting there the way that Chuck Cheats cheese that's my brother in frame and I'm in the back

look at me in the back with the birthday crown over there in the back right Oh, you are really... That's me towering. I was a tall kid, yeah. Damn, you were tall. Holy shit. You were probably horrifying the fuck out of Chuckie.

I thought you were the child that Chuckie was staring at. No, the child in the red shirt. That's my brother. That's your brother. Your brother looks like he's got schmooze on, dude. Looks like he's fucking breaking it down. I'm like locking him down. I found my great value Harry Potter costume.

I'm trying to lock down to Pikachu. Oh, I definitely did Harry Potter when I was a kid, actually. It was just a witch hat and a broom, and it wasn't even a real broom, it was a Walmart broom. I remember my, I definitely did that as well, and he was like fucking, my mom got her fucking red lipstick, and she did like a scar on my head. My brother's costumes were always way better than mine, like always, like he had a fucking, a kidded out Shrek costume. I got like the dregs. He had this fucking cheek. Did you just say Shrek?

He had a Shrek costume that was really well done, and I had a fucking dog shit Pikachu onesie. He had that picture of him as Elmo, too. Damn. He always had nice ones. I always had really shitty ones. I definitely did the lazy cowboy one when I was a bit too old to trick or treat just so I could get fucking candy. He had a fucking SpongeBob one, too. What the fuck is this shit?

I'm getting mad again. I'm getting mad over fucking Halloween costumes. I'm getting mad about these Halloween costumes because he had so fucking, he had tight ones. He had really fucking cool ones. And I always had dog shit. Like, look at his SpongeBob fucking costume. What the fuck? How do you have these?

I'm just going through my mom's old photo. She has them all stored up. I have them on tap just in case I need some horrifying pictures. I have them on tap. I like having them on tap because like there are some pictures of me that are like genuinely you could, okay, it's like, here's a picture of me when my brother was born. You can put that in a horror movie. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Wow. You can put that in a scary movie. You're really excited about your brother. I'm like, yeah! That is such an easy cutout. You could make that an emote on your fucking Twitch. You really could. Here, I have this one too.

I love sharing this one too. You end the big. baby it's like two very different this photo with the framing what is you have such a beautiful smile what a fucking psycho you are i had a baby looks like a game rating system like is it is it is it pretty cool or art no is it Brendan her baby yeah Brendan her baby just these two pictures oh let's do one last question captain zanches asks if the host of psts were Frankenstein together what part of the monster would each of you be i think it would be really funny for me to be one leg and Billy to be another?

Oh, Jesus. One, five, six leg, one. How tall are you, six, five, six, seven? Is it like Voltron style, or is it just a piece of us? Yeah, like, can we get Brendan's arms and my hands? Yeah, no, brother, it's, we're, we're frank and fine. Your hands are smaller than mine, though. I know, that's why it's funny.

It's like, one of them can be Mandy's right hand, and the other one can be Carvin's right hand. You have two right hands. Congratulations. Can we do Sheena's scalp, beautiful black hair, long hair, and then Cameron's face. I like that. I think that would go crazy. Oh, wait, what is Julian, though? I want it to be Billy's body, but my eyes, just that Billy's eyes are worse. My eyes are worse than most. Can we do Julian's arms and then Mandy's hands? I like this question. That's fun. This is a good question. it's simple that's why I like it Cameron always has to be the head in this right

I feel like Cameron as the head makes the most sense we would be a handsome little Frankenstein it's monster we would be a handsome little Frankenstein's monster of different body parts who would be the brain though like are we all the brain like a collective

or are we like is it just Cameron's brain no it's some random guy unrelated to us oh I guess it would be a dead that's how Frankenstein's mine yeah they just just found a dead guy yeah You never, you never seen young Frankenstein, dude. They put that Abbey Normal guy in. Can we pick like a dead guy?

Can we pick a dead guy to put in? Name a real dead guy's brain to put in the PST Frankenstein monster. My grandpa. I think he'd have fun. It's not the answer I was expecting. That got me. It should be your grandpa left hemisphere, my grandpa right hemisphere. That's awesome.

I love that. We're going to have a grandpa's monster. The PST. The peepaw monster. The pepaw monster. That's fucking awesome. My grandpa was a very metrosexual man. He loved getting his nails done.

My grandpa was a large. Actually, I have a grandpa picture one second. I mean, it depends which grandpa. My grandpa on my dad's side was fucking gigantic. Just a fucking super fat guy. Very, very nice. He would always, whenever we would visit my fucking. grandparents he would always eat salt and vinegar chips and be like you want some chips and

then i'd be like yes and then i'd eat it and i'd go bha and he'd fucking laugh jesus because he knew i hated salt and vinegar chips how about half fishing grandpa half metrosexual grandpa all people though all he needs dude all he needs to finish up his fucking fishing attire is some proke your bug juice lobster sauce lambster sauce thinking about this if you took the hemisphere left hemisphere and right hemisphere from both of my grandpaws you would just make the same guy twice question because i can't remember because it's been too long what is the right what does the left do again don't matter uh brain stuff brain stuff don't matter i ain't a brain doctor he'd do brain stuff fame did that scare you sorry i'm just in the halloween moon everybody's entitled to one
