I am your host, Paul. And then with me is my co-host. Hold on. Let me invite him here real quick. All right. I'm on Discord. I'm typing rpginviteatjosh. All right, there we

go. It's my co-host Josh. I'm here! A wild Josh has appeared and hits you for 45 damage. Oh, goodness. All right, so Josh, every time we do one of these Twig episodes, we always start off by talking about what we've been playing this week i don't see how we could not address a little known game on discord called epic rpg but we have to at least acknowledge it here on the show right josh paul you have broken our discord server that's all i'm going to say you you sent me a message and you were like hey i'm gonna install the spot this game looks like a lot of fun and i was like go for it you know and then next thing i know there's a new channel with 5 000 messages in it within like the first 30 minutes nobody is chatting anywhere else everybody is playing epic rpg uh-huh yeah yeah and it's all your fault, Paul. It is all my fault. Well, it's funny because

we have a free Discord server. And if you want to join, there's a link in the episode description. But you have always kind of been in charge of Discord. I've never really looked, I've never really cared about what I could add to it. You know, you kind of set it up and you did the channels and the permissions and, you know, I can help moderate as needed. But I went ahead and paid for MEE6 Premium and I started poking around a little bit and I saw all these things that I didn't even know about, like music quizzes. And then I was like, oh man, there's probably a ton of games. Because I started thinking about back in the AOL days where I would join AOL chat rooms and you could run bots that would do different kinds of games like Unscramble

and things like that. So I just did a search for like Discord games, ran into Epic RPG, thought, why the heck not? And now we have some very hardcore epic rpg fans for people who had never heard about it and it's completely text-based i mean it's it's barely a game but it has been very interactive and a lot of fun do you want to talk a little bit about what it is it's just it sounds so stupid man like i don't know why it's so fun to play because it's a dumb game but it's just like it's a cool down based game you can hunt and you wind up hunting like skeletons and wolves and those stupid wolves by the way yeah yeah all you guys all you guys got wolf pelts before i did and you guys were all making wolf armor and i'm getting just bashed in my plain basic armor. You guys can't give me a wolf pelt.

I must have killed a thousand wolves before I finally got the second wolf pelt I needed to make that wolf armor. You guys were all trolling me. It was great. But yeah, it's just like a cooldown-based game. You hunt, you kill something, you get coins and experience.

You can fish and chop wood. And you can sometimes get an epic fish or a heroic log and stuff like that. So there's different rarities of stuff. And it's just this progression-based text game. Yeah. And I get it. That does not sound very fun. But when you have a bunch of people in a Discord server all playing it, you can do dungeons together. So you actually need to invite other people to do this dungeon

with you, and then you fight an ancient dragon. And if you beat that monster, then the people that did the dungeon advanced to Area 2. And then instead of like wolves and slimes, you start fighting like nymphs and skeletons, right? And then there's just this whole like progression system going on there. And yeah, man, like I said, it's been crazy. It's very funny. So basically, every user is their own adventurer. And you just type these commands, and then you do it. And then the higher you advance, it starts to unlock more abilities and more things that you could do. And I just remember I was just cackling laughing when I would discover new things. Like when you and I both

decided to buy a horse, and then I saw you could do horse breeding. i typed rpg horse breeding at josh and we had our horses breed and then we ended up with a higher tier horse and it just made me laugh because it just seemed like such a silly stupid game but a lot of people seem to really like it so if you like old school text based games that are interactive you can duel one another and enter arenas. It's all totally free. And we've been having a blast. So that's been going on on Discord. What's funny to me is people will hop in to the channel and they're like, what are you guys doing? What is this? And then you're just like, oh, dude, just type like RPG start and you'll see. And then the next thing you know, I like I check back in a couple hours later and i see this person fishing

and hunting and like and then they're just completely engrossed in it and i yeah it's just be careful oh you know what else we left out there's a whole section for gambling so i'll just pop on and play blackjack with my guy because you earn coins and you can use it to buy stuff but you can even buy lottery tickets and oh oh man, it's such a funny game. And I've been having a blast with it. I feel like it's the kind of game that the first couple of days you might actually play for a couple hours, but then as you start to learn the cooldowns, maybe it's something that you just touch base with once an hour or two or three times a day, just to type a couple quick commands and keep up with others. But

man, what a funny experience here this week. I don't know how you found it, Paul. I'm not sure it's a good thing yet. For those who don't care for it, they really don't care for it at all. And then there's others who are like addicts, and they have to just constantly type in the commands on cooldown and advance that character more and more oh it's hilarious all right well i think that's really all we've been playing this week at least it is for me anything you've been playing single player wise you wanted to talk about not really i'm kind of waiting because the next week or two i mean by the time this recording comes out uh new world will have been out for a couple of days.

I'm very excited to try that. We've been talking about that. Then we have tribes of Midgard coming up next week. So I'm really excited about that. So I've kind of been like holding off a little bit in regards to that. The only game I've actually been playing a decent bit is a VR game called in death unchained. Okay.

And it's an archery game where you go into purgatory, and there's these procedurally generated levels, and you're just this archer. But it feels so good to draw back your bow and then just feel like you're Robin Hood. And you're shooting these cloaked figures and these knights, Templar, and these zombies. And there's flying imps. And I don't know, man. I've been cracking on it. And VR games don't generally hold my attention for too, too long.

But this one's been a lot of fun. And it's a little bit of exercise when you shoot like a thousand arrows over the course of like a 15-minute play session. Sure. Like legitimately, my arms start getting tired. That's funny. Have you ever done archery in real life? Oh, I love archery.

I love archery so much. Yeah. My wife's from Louisiana and everybody's hunters down there. And so my father-in-law gave me like a hunting bow one time. Oh, nice. And man, before you know it, like I said, I just, I wanted to be Robin Hood, man. I was, I had this thing like sighted in. I, nice. And man, before you know it, I, like I said, I just, I wanted to be Robin Hood, man. I was, I had this thing like sighted in, I had targets, I was bullseye and stuff like, you know, I, yeah, I really enjoy archery. So I think that's what makes this game a little bit

more fun as well. Um, but highly recommend it. Anybody that's looking for a VR game, this one's held my attention for a while and it's very well done. Yeah. I hadn't even heard of it i don't know what it is about archery i've always loved it whether it's in video games or in real life like i was in boy scouts and every year i'd go to boy scout camp and you could do the rifle shooting and the archery i never cared about rifle shooting it just always seemed very boring to me compared to archery and i don't know i was pretty decent attitude i always loved it that's doing the work with archery like yeah it's more tactile trigger yeah exactly i'm with you 100 because there's something about like i want to be the one

that's aiming that bow and drawing that bow and all that stuff versus just aiming and pulling the trigger so i get it yeah now i'm a very sensitive soul. Like I'm not going to shoot anything with that bow. I'm just shooting, you know, the, the balloons tied to the target at the end of the field. That's all I'm using it for, but I did always enjoy archery. So that's one I actually might be interested in since I haven't pulled out my Oculus quest to in quite some time. All right. And then we always talk about This Week in Gaming as far as news goes, and we did have a fair amount of stories this week, but I think the big story for sure is one that we did briefly touch on when there were some rumors, but now we've got a lot more information. Valve is entering portable gaming, Josh. They're coming out with the Steam Deck. What do you think about this? Oh, boy. I'm jumping out of my chair, Paul,

because you know how much I love mobile gaming? You love your Switch so much. I love taking my Nintendo Switch to the oil change place. I love taking it to the dentist's office. Laying down in bed. I mean, everybody is very excited about this. I'm just not. I hate to sound like a funny duddy.

It's just not my thing. I am very glad that there is going to be a portable PC gaming solution out there, because I don't think there is one. I just, I'm skeptical for multiple reasons what are those number one valve does not have a good history of hardware they don't no that's a very good point we've had several failed hardware attempts from them in the past and then they stop supporting those products too and they tend to kind of fall off. Right, right. Exactly. And that's the problem is it's like, hey, here's some hardware. Oh, that didn't work. We don't really support that anymore. Sorry. And I just don't know how good this is going to be. When I was looking at the specs on it, $400 price point for the base model. And the base model has 64 gigabytes worth of storage. Now,

that's atrocious, man. I mean, most games nowadays, your smaller games are starting to broach 20 gigs. Yeah. And it's not uncommon for a big game to be 80 gigabytes. So you can't even fit a big game on this thing, number one. Now, yes, you can buy SD cards and plop them in there, and SD cards are cheap, I get it, but $400 for 64 gigabytes of built-in storage, and then the screen is only 720p. Right, and it's a 7-inch screen. So, I mean, technically speaking, you only need so many pixels. It's not like you're looking at a 70 inch tv you don't need it to be 4k it's a small display i mean it might be a small display but who wants 720p man like you couldn't make a 1080p like 720p is so like 2006 you would not know the difference i i guarantee you you would not know the difference well okay yes that's a very good point though the hard drive is well it's not

even a hard drive it's like i don't even know what it is like an emmc chip or something yeah well you have to go for the higher models to get the nvme oh that's the cheaper one doesn't even have that i forgot about that yeah you're right so the price point is a little bit higher i think what I don't totally understand is, I mean, I guess the idea is that the Switch is more for families and kids and casual gamers. So here's the portable gaming device for more hardcore gamers. But if you're a hardcore gamer, you're going to want to play on a gaming PC, not mobile anyway. So I'm not entirely sure who's going to be buying this. I think in theory, a lot of people are cheering it and excited and ready to call it a Switch killer. But I just don't really know who's going to buy it.

I'm going to tell you that right now. I don't think it's going to displace the Switch. I'll tell you why I would be excited about it. And you know I'm not excited about these kinds of things, but having access to the entire Steam library in a portable device is huge, right? Like that's the innate problem with the Switch is that the Switch, they did it very, very well. Nintendo is known for doing that, but you can only play Nintendo games, right?

I mean, and so that's the one drawback to the Switch. Now, hey, I get it's the Nintendo Switch, but there are a gajillion games out there, and a lot of them don't require a ton of processing power. So to be able to have that immense library available to you in a portable form is the biggest draw, in my opinion. Like, I honestly think the hardware kind of sucks. I think the price point is super high. We talked about the base version, but when you want to get

into the 256 gigabyte version, that jumps up to $500, I think. And the big one with 500 gigabytes with the NVMe drive is like $600. It's $650. $650? Hey, anybody out there, I can build you a gaming PC for about $650 that'll play more games than the Steam Deck can. Maybe not with a monitor, but I hear you. The one thing also that's very neat about it, so this is the one thing that would make me excited, is not only do you have access to the full Steam library, you can install Windows. So you can literally run the Xbox Game Pass on it. You can install the Epic Game Store where you may have added a bunch of free games that you're not touching. But if you had something like a Steam Deck, maybe you would try those things out if you're out on vacation or out on the road or you travel for work but you know that's that's the one plus i guess is the

library but do you know how long the battery excuse me do you how long the battery lasts josh oh i saw that somebody did give a statement they said anywhere from two to eight hours paul two to eight hours and they said it would be four hours playing portal 2 which by the way is not processing no very much is gonna last 90 minutes in actual i'm a little worried about that yeah oh yeah absolutely i don't but don't worry josh they did say you can limit the frame rate drop it down to 30 and then it's gonna last longer on the battery so now we're making like huge compromises i i don't think you or i have any desire now i was joking in our Discord saying,

hey, if you guys want to start a social media campaign and they give us one for free, we'll test it out and give it away on the show. But I don't think this is something you or I are going to drop $400 on. I can't. I'm excited for people that are excited for it. Like I said, I do think that this is an affordable way to get PC games into your hands, right? Like without having the knowledge how to build a PC, without spending $1,000 on a nice pre-built, like this is the entry point, right? Like we talk about these consoles being a certain price point.

And Valve came out and said, hey, it was painful for us to price this at $400. They're probably actually losing a little bit of money on that. But they have to be able to compete with Xbox and PlayStation and the Switch and stuff like that. And so I get that there is a large amount of the population that is excited to be able to get into PC gaming for what seems to be an affordable price point. The fact that it's handheld and portable and all that seems like bonuses. To me, it's not a bonus, but I do think it is an option for people that have been looking to get into that.

And from my understanding, it has Wi-Fi, so I would imagine multiplayer games would work just fine, all that kind of stuff. It's like you said, it is a portable PC, so you can do Windows and internet browsing and stuff like that as well. I just, for the money, man, I think I'd rather have a laptop or something. I'm just skeptical. I really am. And I don't mean to sound like boohoo on it, but I just don't know. Yeah. And I'm just not sure you or I are the market anyway, because I'm perfectly content

with my Switch. I would not feel any desire to spend an extra 400. I'd rather use that money and spend it on Switch games or on games for my computer instead of buying a whole new console. That's the thing. We have just so many options now, like the Atari VCS and the Valve Steam Deck. I don't know. I feel like we're almost getting this overabundance. Really, we just need Xboxes and PlayStations and whatever goofy system Nintendo's got at the time. And I kind of feel like we're kind of set.

I almost feel like it's a little oversaturation as we get extra options. All right. Well, Josh, we are halfway through the episode here. So let's go ahead and take a quick break and hear from one of our sponsors. Look, gaming is a hobby. And like any great hobby, you need the best tools possible. There's a reason you never see pros using shoddy gear. And it's no different when it comes to gaming. Logitech provides some of the best peripherals in all the gaming world.

That's why they've partnered with us to bring you into the same world as the pros. Head over to multiplayerpodcast.com slash Logitech and marvel at the gear you've been missing. Do yourself a favor and stop using those cheap mice and keyboards. Get yourself a gray headset and hear what you've been missing.

Logitech is where it's at and now you know where to go to get the best gear out there. Now back to the best podcast out there. Shazam! All right, Josh, we are back here continuing talking about This Week in Gaming. Josh, I got some bad news for you, buddy. Oh, no. What is it?

The curse of games that we talk about being delayed continues. We don't just have one. We actually have three games that have all been delayed. New World, Tribes of Midgard, and... No. Thankfully, Tribes of Midgard is still on schedule. But we do have a couple of games that we have talked about on the show that are getting pushed back. We have Riders Republic, which I actually actually am interested in that game does look pretty good i saw some gameplay on that and i could see that being a very good time with friends it looks super exciting yeah that got pushed back two months rainbow six extraction which i think is the current name they've changed it so many times i can't't keep up. That's been pushed back four months.

And then Resident Evil Reverse, which might be, in my opinion, the most misguided idea of a multiplayer game, is being pushed back at least six months, Josh. Paul, I'm so glad I am not the crotchety old man in this episode, because why? Why are you even making Reverse, man? Resident Evil does not need to be a multiplayer game. We talked about this when we covered Resident Evil Village. It is not a game that lends itself well to multiplayer. I don't totally understand why. If you want to play deathmatch multiplayer, I don't know who's going, oh, you know what I want to do? I want to play death match multiplayer i don't know who's going oh you know what i want to do i want to play with resident evil characters and those slow movements and the gunplay in resident evil is fine for single player why would i play that over i don't know any shooter ever

in any other game it's the dumbest thing i whoever came up with that idea needs to get fired to be honest because you do not need this i could see if you were thinking way outside the box and this is not like a death match type shooter game you know but it is it's literally resident evil people with the guns pew pewingwing at each other in a small room. And then I think from the video I saw, if you die, you kind of turn into another character, like a creature or something. And then you can kind of keep fighting. This is just terrible.

And they're saying six months? You're putting six months of development? It's going to be pointless. At least six months. Now, here's the thing do you want them do you want capcom spending their time and their money on single player dlc or on reverse no exactly give me more dlc because guess what resident evil village was great fantastic give me more of that don't waste developer time making a multiplayer game

that seven people on the planet are going to be interested in playing. I think that's the thing. I don't know how many people are going to play it. I feel like if they're paying one dude to make Reverse and he or she is getting paid, you know, $12 an hour to develop this multiplayer, that's fine. But this is not going to appeal to the masses. I don't know who really cares. I don't even care that it's pushed back. I just thought it was really funny because Resident Evil Village has already been out for a while. I don't know who is still going to care about it at all. Going into 2022, there's so many new games that are going to be out between now

and then. That's a bad decision. It really is. I'll be honest with you, you know, in regards to Rainbow Six Extraction and Riders Republic, I'm starting to get to the point where I'm not upset about games getting delayed because I'm realizing that what upsets me more is games that get released when they shouldn't. Yes. You know, and that is something that has not always been the case especially for me right like i hey i want this game i'm looking forward to it you better release it when you say you're releasing it and then when they announce a delay i used to get super mad about that right and then just like come on man like i was looking forward to this i took a day off of work and yeah yeah i'm just kind of like hey you know what if that makes the game better cool there's other

games that i can play in the meantime don't't get me wrong. I'm really looking forward to playing this, but I'd rather this game be a good, well-polished game that should get released than a game that shouldn't and is just buggy. I'm still upset about Outriders, right? Because that game, as much as we loved Outriders, that game was the only issue with that game was the amount of bugs in it. Otherwise, dude, Outriders was incredible. But the bugs and the technical issues ruined it. If they had waited a year to release Outriders, I think it would have been one of those games of the decade. Yeah, like a generational new IP that everyone loves.

Right. But instead, they released it when it was not ready. And as fun as that game is, it's just it leaves a little bit of a sour taste now. And I'm getting kind of tired of that, man. Cyberpunk was historically the most well-known issue with the game release. And that game could have been amazing. It is an amazing game. But again, it could have been a generational type release. Stop releasing games that aren't ready. It's okay to delay them. Yeah. And also, every major release, you just read these stories about these unrealistic timeframes, and there's pressure from the shareholders because they need to have the revenue for this year,

so we want it out by Christmas of this year. And then you have these time crunches by all the employees who don't get to spend any time with their family. They're working 100 hours a week. And I think we've reached an inflection point where gamers are like, we don't want that.

We're okay waiting. We don't want to hear these stories. And so you do have companies like Rockstar saying, hey, we're working on GTA 6 now. And instead of saying 2023, we're just going to say 2025. And we're just going to take the time. We don't want there to be a crunch. We want to take care of our employees. And I feel like gamers are okay with that. I would rather wait for a finished product and don't overwork your people. I'm okay waiting for that. Just deliver me a good product. And when it's ready, it's ready. Yep. I like to see the move to that trend because I feel the same way. It's starting to come out in the gamer world where, hey, don't pre-order stuff. Now, there's always going to be people

that pre-order things, right? We pre-ordered New World so that we could play the beta, but we can refund it still too. But I think you're starting to see that switch and it's still early, but that is a great, great thing for gamers to come together on because it's going to force these companies to not release things that just aren't ready to be released yet. Yeah, exactly. All right, next story here, Josh. We do have a new game that was announced. I think this one is a pretty interesting game.

It's Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. And you know what? You know what it comes out? It comes out this fall, 2021. That's great. Waited to announce it. It's going to come out of here in the next couple months. And who doesn't want to play a Smash Brothers clone with Nickelodeon characters?

Oh, me. I don't want to play it at all. I fully knew going into this story, you could not care less. I do have one question for you. Well, two questions. Just a yes or no is fine do you enjoy playing smash brothers no okay i thought that was the case and two did you watch a lot of nickelodeon when you were younger oh absolutely no i have not watched recent

nickelodeon i watched nickelodeon back in the days of you can't do that on television and you know this was before spongebob was around i mean i definitely have seen a lot of spongebob but i watched the video on this somebody posted it and the people in our discord got all excited and i started watching it and it is a direct ripoff i mean even the little when you knock them back there's like a little streak that when a character flies backwards that they make and they even ripped off like this streak i could not tell the difference between smash bros and and all stars other than that it was like spongebob and patrick and some of these other characters that I'm not super familiar with. Powdered Toastman was the one that I was very familiar with.

Because Ren and Stimpy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I was just like, how are they not getting sued on this? It is Smash Bros. I guess it's just generic enough to have a four-player brawl. I guess you can't really copyright the idea of knocking someone off a map. But I will say, in watching the trailer, it is funny because it clearly is made for people just a little bit younger than me. Because two-thirds of the characters, I have no idea who they are.

Now, I see Reptar, and I know that that's from Rugrats, because my younger sister watched Rugrats, but I didn't. I was a little too old for that. So for me, my Nickelodeon shows were more like Rocco's Modern Life and Doug. And you're not going to see Doug or Patty Mayonnaise in a game like this, if any of you out there watched Doug. But at least it did have some characters I knew, like Helga from Hey Arnold. I feel like that was the last year I watched Nickelodeon was like Hey Arnold season one, and then I feel like that was the last year I watched Nickelodeon was like Hey Arnold season one. And then I felt like I was a little too old for Nickelodeon.

But I think maybe the hardest thing about this is that it is a $50 price tag. So it is a little bit of a pricey game. But if it was to be as good as Smash Brothers, that would be a steal. But I have trouble believing it's going to be better. But why not just play Smash Brothers then? That's exactly what I was going to say. I mean, it's still early. Maybe they're going to announce some stuff that says, hey, this is how this game is different

than Smash Brothers, but it sure looked like it was not any different other than the character skins, and that was it. I mean, it was the same premise. It was the same everything. I could not tell a difference with the exception of the characters. And I mean, I've tried playing Smash Bros. a lot. I'm just a little bit more old school that I like the 2D fighters, you know, and the one-on-one, you know, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, that kind of stuff.

I don't know, man. This is a very funny episode, because I feel like there was all this news, and you and I are just like, don't care. Don't care. Not for me. Not interested. We're just going to rip all of this. Today's Grouchy Old Men episode is brought to you by the Steam Deck.

Brought to you by Blackjack gum you know and good and plenty uh yeah we might be showing our age a little bit here these just don't really seem to be made for us uh we are basically out of time the last thing that i i thought we could just very very briefly mention is that there was a tweet that was made by a guy that I had never heard of. His name is Lance McDonald. I guess he's a well-known data miner. But he had tweeted that Sony is working on multiple PC ports. And he said Bloodborne would not be one of them as far as he knew. But I love the idea of getting more PlayStation exclusives on PC. Do you feel the same way? I feel very strongly that Sony and PlayStation really need to start focusing on that if they want to try to keep up in this war with Xbox. Because Xbox, we have said it time and again,

is winning this console war right now. The Game Pass is great with Microsoft and all the acquisitions of these game studios is great. They've done everything right in that regard. And I feel like Sony is really lagging behind in that. But if Sony starts bringing some of their exclusives to PC, that is at least a small victory for them. Because I personally would actually pick up some of these games to play on the PC. I've said time and time again, I want God of War on the PC. I'd love to play the Nathan Drake, the collection. The Uncharted. Uncharted. That was it, right? I kept thinking the Nathan Drake collection. I knew that wasn't

the name. But I've never actually played those games. And so if I could get those on PC, I'd play those games. There's so many exclusive games out there that would port very well to PC. It's just that Sony's never done that. And you can kind of fiddle your way around it with the whole, what is it, PlayStation Go, where you stream it and then you play it on your PC, but you're logging into your PlayStation account and stuff like that. It's essentially Google Stadia because they're running the games on a PS3 server. Right. And it'll stream the audio and you can use a controller. That's exactly how I played The God of Wars not that long ago.

I paid for a month of whatever it was called, PS Now or PS Go. And yeah, that was a lot of fun. But those are the two franchises that I first thought of. I want to see the Uncharted and I want to see the God of Wars on PC. It would be a blast to be able to do it. Yeah. I mean, I think PlayStation has to do something, but they are. This is not just rumor. They bought a studio that is well known for porting games to PC. And then this guy with his tweet kind of said, Hey, this is happening. It's just not going to be bloodstained or, uh, bloodborne, sorry, bloodstained, man. I'm just getting them all

confused. Right. Um, so it's not going to be that game. He kind of was like almost trolling them a little bit if you kind of read into that tweet. But yeah, I would love it. There's so many PlayStation games that I want to be able to play on PC. I don't own a PlayStation anymore. I don't really have plans on buying a PS5 until Ragnarok comes out. So color me interested in this news. Yeah, there you go. There's one story that we have a positive reaction to.

I'm not going to lie. These ports better be gonna lie they better not mess up these ports paul i saw we were out of time and i was like i gotta touch on at least one story that we're interested in so that was the boy i was gonna rip on netflix gaming and we didn't even get into that story uh maybe we'll talk about that in the future but that that is all the time that we have here for today.
