Starting point is 00:00:00 It's hello hello good afternoon hi there of uh how are you and how is everyone listening to this within the sound of our voice I'm doing okay I had a busy morning slaying demons out and about yeah so I'm gonna be very real I'm not super sure what's going on but it appears that a certain subset of the population has awakened on the 21st of December to some kind of super existence yeah so I made it back in time for the podcast but you know I had some some things to do in the you know in the after effect of awakening to justice so to speak but what is it that you don't understand who's getting superpowers and why mainly why well okay so for those of you who
Starting point is 00:01:42 don't know like Pat here as black people hello genetically we're stronger and smarter than everyone else so and we're more creative so as a result on December 21st our real DNA has been unlocked and the majority of you are soon going to see that we can do things that you once thought were fiction okay so the 21st is because what it's solstice or it's yule or it's the negro solstice it's the alright it's the closest that the blackest day of the year when Saturn and Jupiter are closest to each other and they appear to be as one and the unlocking of DNA occurs and that's how you learn who you are as a people you know because they want to make us average but the unlocking of DNA how to how to mixed race people fit fit into this mixed race is it under devil may cry rules
Starting point is 00:02:50 where they get like extra power power set but like slower I don't think so because that would imply a mixture of humanity and non-humanity amplifying the ability and I don't think that's what you're going for however I would say that perhaps it's maybe like maybe it's kind of like quarks you know uh-huh but I did I did also see people hypothesizing that mixed people already have their beauty powers so they're quite fine as is looking hotter hotter than the average person so I see yeah so I'm out of luck with the power thing well I mean my DNA will not unlock or it unlocked long ago it's well I mean it's you're not genetically stronger and smarter than everyone else or more creative so okay as someone who is on I can vouch for these things I can yeah uh-huh this feels
Starting point is 00:03:55 like a giant dunk on one dumb person that's correct this feels like one person said something real ignorant she sure did and everybody just decided you know what let's have a real fun with this it is the most appropriate response to some crazy ignorant shit I've seen in a long time for the collective black twitter to get together and you know the powers that range from like even the you know like even those with like only a little bit of time on their hands were able to find a nice little transparent koofy on on google and stick it on your favorite character or those with already established media careers were able to edit themselves displaying superpowers popping off doing the various things that your your favorite heroes can do videos of people doing
Starting point is 00:05:01 their superpowers yeah some people like super saiyaning some people like opening the avatar awakening uh some people just like good old-fashioned capes and justice league style you know everyone's got their own flex on it um but overall this is what's coming to be known as the negro solstice and that's soul I see with a with a you that's okay see that that so originally I wasn't on board but then you pointed out it uses you now I'm on there you go there you go that's much better that's a much better name so if you just go about your right twitch no um about the solstice maybe twitch was aware slightly in advance and started rolling out some rules maybe because but before
Starting point is 00:05:55 this gimmick popped off depending on what the the level of fear I should be displaying I literally went and bookmarked the twitch statement as a form of defense in which it turns out they're infringing on your business woolly in that twitch is now giving out soft r or soft a passes to the world well first of all I'm amazed at the fact that an official company statement has acknowledged the usage of hard r that is the first time that is I think probably the first time a distinction has been made officially on a terms of service and that is incredible secondly yeah it literally has the phrase use with a hard r uh secondly what you are referring to as my business was in fact a clientele list of addresses that I visited this morning and oh and business was handled
Starting point is 00:07:02 as the solstice is upon us it was a list of addresses to pay a future visit to and now that that's all taken care of we can start this podcast all right then yeah well well the last week we had a real fun podcast at the expense of one particular developer that is cd project red and I remember thinking to myself I thought to myself I said pat that sure was a lot of fun but there's no way we could get into a fallout 76 kind of oh yeah well that's week or two yeah kind of thing going on for sure for sure mm-hmm and I was right because where fallout 76 unfolded over the trip of a what was it six month period drip feed trickle trickle trickle every week we're getting literally 10 news stories a
Starting point is 00:08:14 week oh by the way just but cyberpuff we are and just before we completely move on I would just like to thank uh that that said crazy person on twitter for giving me an excuse to hit the children up with karas dot mp4 because oh that's a good one people don't don't know about people don't know about karas that dot mp4 and tatsunoko yeah yeah they had to be hit with it you know every once in a while you're like what am I oh so there you go I'd like to uh before we talk about cyberpunk I'd like to ask my correspondent uh Zangief the dog what he thought of cyberpunk news this weekend Zangief if you have anything to say about cyberpunk could you please speak speak
Starting point is 00:09:09 come on there you go oh you can't say that on twitch buddy you can't do it no but that is pretty harsh words good job good job buddy only took two tries yeah that shit's a mess big flex uh he's an idiot Zangief speak there you go all right all right you gotta give him high five hey there you go there you go good boy I love you you gotta give him the face much better about high five speak is the hardest one for some reason um I remarked that like it's kind of insane how he is like twice the size he was uh instantaneously it's that was really fast anyway pat hiding treats in his asshole where else do you keep your treats sir I feel like I've seen you do the exact same tricks for reasons
Starting point is 00:10:10 oh yeah you do them over and over and over and over and they lock in so uh yeah I suppose then you know uh that's oh I misunderstood what you meant oh I do a high five for a reason so I suppose um that the that is going to be the tsunami uh this week for sure and there is there is much ado about about cyberpunk uh but before that weeks hey man I beat Yakuza like a dragon lad that games fucking incredible and I did see um an announcement right away I can just get it out of the way here but apparently the voice actor confirmed that uh Ichiban's gonna be the new protagonists from here on out yeah I believe that's the Japanese voice actor and it's a quote from Nagoshi where he looked at him he was like
Starting point is 00:11:11 hey man you're gonna be making me my living for 10 years okay okay well good um that game has some structural problems which I assume are the result of making a gigantic uh mega rpg in six months as a goof um in that uh the game is really really easy for about uh 11 of 15 chapters and then tells you you will level five levels per chapter or die and it and like the the the the the the the the the gameplay loop just shoots straight up at like chapter 12 um but aside from that pacing issue whoo this is like in the run for like best yakuza game period like it's it's and and has what may be the second dumbest twist in yakuza history which you're not super familiar
Starting point is 00:12:37 with the history with the the games there are some dumb motherfucking twists in these stories so it's it's it's of note that it can it might hit number two uh also of non-spoilery note Kaiji Tang a voice actor which I have now become much more familiar with because he uh voices Ichiban and he voices uh I think he voices Hiji Yama in uh 13 sentinels yeah yeah yaki soba pond yeah is the first voice acting performance since death stranding that I would say can compete with the diehard man's speech in Japanese no in English okay it's I feel like I don't know about you but I feel like we might be on the same wavelength here that the diehard man scene is kind of a barometer I will be able to go back to over and over
Starting point is 00:13:56 and over in the future of when the game says I trust the voice actor to just go diehard man kiney yeah something Ichiban okay okay like it's it's it's way up there um so yeah it's it says a lot about the context of like I you know I was laughing the finale episode that I recorded or streamed rather um was the beginning of the the fucking cyber dunk nightmare with sony pulling the game and all that crap and then I went on and beat it and was like this game's incredible and they made a world-class rpg as a joke as an April fools gag but like it's literally unbelievable but I mean is that narrative true like yes they came out in an interview said it was going to be a more normal game
Starting point is 00:15:13 and then when they saw the reaction to the April fools joke they just went with it they pivoted the gameplay to an rpg the original story had planned for Ichiban to have a huge cast of characters as well so they they had like casts that could fill in as party members so it was a much easier thing than had they just had you know the the usual story which is Kiryu and maybe one other guy I think but yeah it was totally a beat them up until that April fools video I mean I I think um you can see examples of like how easily uh something that's action does can convert into turn based as long as you you know like you just kind of set the the parameters up in such a way that like the the rhythm of how of what you're attacking does enough damage that it's it ends
Starting point is 00:16:05 up being a fair fight uh but like ff7 remake it kind of shows you how you know you can switch back and forth between those uh those lines really simply the excuse the series felt like the most obvious and easy to transition of that type of genre ever because you played enough zero like there are like 300 heat moves in yakuza zero and all you have to do is pick like 30 of them and give them to each character and you're fucking done yeah that game's incredible turning that that's up it up for me in game of the year contention it's it's fantastic turning turning a lot of dynamic actions that are you know very contextual into a series of menus essentially is is not the hardest reduction to make it's also wild because you get to see like where the battle system I don't know
Starting point is 00:17:06 how to describe it but like you can see where they took the old engine and just forced it into like a fucking rpg square mm-hmm like where enemies uh can get kicked like if there's a tough enemy and you beat on them long enough you can push them like literally two three blocks down the street uh but your your party will always run back to the start of the battle arena so you end up like running like for 30 seconds to get to them and then you hit a max limit and then the enemy will just teleport back towards your characters but you're not actually like walking around during the fight are you your no no your characters are all automatically just you're locked into your rpg spot yeah okay yeah uh it's
Starting point is 00:18:05 it's really cool it's just it's just neat okay now that i'm playing dragon quest 11 yeah they they clearly to like speed up the process of how do we make a really good rpg is they just took every idea they could from dragon quest mm-hmm now um i don't think it's gonna happen what with uh you know only a couple days left on the clock but i i do want to let you know that 13 sentinels is a fucking solid game of the year contender oh i i agree even though i dropped off of it because i feel like i want to just sit down and and play through the whole rest of the game uninterrupted which i might do this week honestly um it was very obviously a game of your contender we are in the eye of the storm right now and um
Starting point is 00:19:07 just nothing but nothing but quality the whole way through isn't it great when you're like man this is totally a goatee contender man and then you mention that to somebody and they go what game is that is that that anime game and you're like i'm gonna die i'm just gonna die in my heart now i fortunately haven't experienced that but i also haven't really been talking to people you will i mean i think i think people might remember like i remember when um i was in the the the offices back in the day and uh vanilla ware stuff was coming out so odin sphere dropped you know and then like there was a group of us that were like just wouldn't shut up about it talking about like how
Starting point is 00:19:55 beautiful it was and people would see our wall papers and just be like oh what the hell is that whoa that looks really pretty it's fucking odin sphere yeah yeah you know and then i think like we kind of recruited some people to being aware of what vanilla ware is you know from that point and then uh later around the time like mora masa was coming out i was like oh yeah cool like those people are back you know um so it it it's it's still a very under the radar release because i don't think vanilla ware releases will ever not be because they're just their atlas games right they they land in that well it's a it is in that space de facto niche right it's a visual novel yeah yeah visual novels uh um you know rpg uh our rts rather and robots um yeah so it's gonna
Starting point is 00:20:48 fall into that but i still think that like i don't know it's it's it's one of those things that like any but that i think you can recommend to people outside of the the the demographic and still grab them you know it do you like sci-fi stories is the only qualifier i would ask someone in the same way because that like something like stranger things could appeal to people that are not necessarily fans of the the references in stranger things i think 13 sentinels can be that you know although the although the the combat would get a little bit complicated i think uh to someone who was unfamiliar but still a fantastic journey you know yeah i would say that if you do not like a sci-fi plot that uh 13 sentinels might be concentrated arsenic for your brain
Starting point is 00:21:49 uh because i can't think of a game that has a more sci-fi plot yes this is true ever literally ever but and i i like i played v l r and fucking deus ex and though that that shit ain't ain't sci-fi for shit compared to fucking 13 yeah no 13 sentinels is literally running down a checklist of every major sci-fi film or work and seeing how many references it can get um but i think like when it comes to the uh ridiculous twists and turns of the plot that happen overwhelmingly often uh i learned a lesson from the popularity of lost in that it's like no surprisingly people are down for that kind of headfuckery you know it's not just full-on lynch it's like a series of nonsensical drops that uh are basically just you know meant for you to like come back again next
Starting point is 00:23:02 week but in this case they actually go somewhere you know um that thing actually works on large audiences and before lost i wouldn't have thought it would have but anyway that's a detour from what you're saying yeah i mean yakuza is great it's uh it's uh it's gonna be great uh i can i can easily see the future of that series having um um i fucking uh talk and um and uh ichiban as two playable characters in either alternating games or the rpg side of the game versus the action side of the game uh judgment guy why can't i i can't remember his fucking full name whatever judge eyes he's got the eyes judge eyes man and when you walk by him he does that cool
Starting point is 00:24:08 face where he stares at you and tracks you down yeah why can't i remember yeah i got me yeah got me okay yeah it's cuz uh it's cuz his buddy always calls him talk and i'm like uh uh cool um incredible okay uh that it i also play dragon quest 11 s a ton of it um you know that's a old school s rpg that is very high quality very high quality rpg that is old but also new um how's toriyama's character designs doing laughable yeah like it's it's charming but like the plot is spoiled by the designs like there are two knights in the game that are chasing you and i can tell which one is the evil one and which one is not the evil one based off of their eye shape okay because one has the the
Starting point is 00:25:19 villain look is it the other has the like the vegeta look yeah i was gonna say like is it like is it like the childhood photo of a rochi maru hanging out with jiraiya and sunade you're just like uh huh yeah that kid totally fine totally normal that kid's gonna be it's like mm-hmm i'm looking at these these these arts and it's like it's very high quality and it's very charming but at the same time it's like i feel i feel like toriyama at this point in his career is literally just playing mr. potato head with 95 percent of characters at a certain point it does kind of become that to the uh to the point where i'm i wouldn't be surprised if like random NPCs were not designed by him but were designed by uh people that have a collection of his features
Starting point is 00:26:14 oh yeah they're that you can you you swap their head their fat this are their their um their hair their face their body type etc so um gabe from uh penny arcade showed off uh some of his behind the scene stuff and i remember uh one time he pulled up in a collection of these are my gabe mouths these are my taiko eyes and my taiko face shapes and like you do actually have like some simplified recognizable and limited shapes that you just kind of can build a whole thing out of you know um so if they had people with like a toriyama set of layers to kind of slide together in photoshop they could build some NPCs there's one exception to the toriyamaness and it's a character that looks visually different and is so out of context with the rest of the
Starting point is 00:27:25 planet that i think dragon quest games come from that i feel like they are someone's pet project and it's silvando yeah i'm looking at a character you may have heard of looking at a picture silvando feels like he is from a fucking different universe this looks like a character from skyward sword yeah silvando yeah 100 you know how rpg characters can occasionally steal the show from the main cast like you know the everybody's got their favorites in ff7 but that's a nice all-star cast but then you get a lot of other rpgs in which there's like the cool character and it's like well you're gonna build your party around the cool character silvando is so much better than every
Starting point is 00:28:35 other character in every role in dq11 that it becomes the yeah yeah whatever shut up what's silvando doing nice show and for a old school series like dragon quest uh that is scored by an 88 year old evil bad war denier man i did not expect a character like silvando in that game because silvando might be the first party member in a japanese game that is the strongest party member while also being a flaming queen he calls every party member darling he's like half a step away from calling you han he is aggressively flaming and he is the best he's killing it
Starting point is 00:29:49 there really is like i'm i think of a lot of rpgs where like you've got like a party member that's just like well you're gonna be on the team for the whole game and it doesn't matter what else is going on just because you're the cool one um he's the cool one yeah yeah he'll he'll he'll like he'll man up his voice like deepen it from his usual cadence he's usually like kind of queeny cadence to like make fun of the more macho dickhead members of the game's story yeah and then go right back to like the higher pitched like uh darling like kind of kind of tone and i've played a lot of japanese games and a lot of japanese rpgs in which the instant i see a character like silvando i get the pit in my stomach which is the
Starting point is 00:30:46 oh fuck i hope it's not that guy from enchant arms again or oh man i hope it's not those persona dudes right but no oh like over the top um um a character is kind of like a parody yeah parody parody basically a homosexuality as parody right right right uh and then no silvando is cool and then he shows up to the the like the second appearance ever in a in a fucking horse race and he saunters up and his horse unlike all the others dressed in armor is wearing a fucking like mardi gras peacock outfit and he's really strong he almost won that goddamn race he's just great who else uh would you put in the like your party member job is the cool one
Starting point is 00:31:59 uh frog joins the party and you he's just your that's it too bad frogs in the party frog and then later magus magus later magus and frog um yeah ball ther from ff12 oron oran oh oran's like the pinnacle like you're just not leaving the only he's the only cool person no no not true kimari is cool but he's just not that effective no kimari is cool but he's not effective no uh in oran oran absolutely doesn't leave in yakuza there is a jungi han who is the guy who looks like virgil okay who is virgil mm-hmm mm-hmm mm-hmm straight up uh like the cool one uh yeah sylvan does great he's absolutely fantastic and he's like he's like elevating
Starting point is 00:33:03 what would be like a great game to like a stupendous game um where when i saw him i was worried he was gonna elevate a great game into embarrassment okay like you know like the fucking uh like man i sure do love star ocean yeah yeah yeah what's that limo you want nappy time mm-hmm excuse me while i have to burn memories of this entire franchise from my soul hk-47 definitely uh seph from lost odyssey 100 percent um i kind of think the whole party in skies of rikadia is awesome
Starting point is 00:34:00 i don't know anything about the skies of rikadia they're all pirates it's great yeah that sounds nice yeah they show up in valkyria chronicle they're they're cool they they they they they they they they're they're they're doing it um yeah man no there's uh oh yeah rex rex mm-hmm there's always the the one you know and yes of course who would we be if we didn't mention gino of gino world fame oh man you hit the gino world just right dude that does like how many how many damages it do how many nines 9999 holy fuck holy fuck that's not even true for the why are you lying why are you lying i don't know in the back of missus who
Starting point is 00:34:51 gives a shit in the back of missus smith is math math class gino why are you lying about the damage i've never seen the game count that high you're lying gino can't do that much no such a fucking stupid idiot also give me back my homework stop copying it i'm glad you're all upset i'm gonna get in trouble but we're we're kind of jumping the gun on this um now i think gino's cool i'm not i don't i'm not a gino hater at all i played that game relatively recently and i feel no love for gino he was the uh he was he was the you know unexpected random new character that showed up and hung out with the mario party but he was like not a mario character or a marshmallow so you know so cool but no one in that game is cool but i don't think the word cool is a word i
Starting point is 00:35:47 would use to describe literally anything at super mario or gino gino ends up being like the cool one by default because you've got mario characters and you've got malo you know uh as your choice as your choices so you're pretty much gonna you're like oh well here's this the the cool one but he's he's the guy he's there you know but i but i he's cool i do like i do like gino but yeah it's pretty much my week i played yakuza you like a dragon i uh i played uh what do you call it uh a dragon quest oh i got another back for blood alpha what's that uh it's left for dead three made by turtle rock it's just literally left for dead three but uh it's called back for blood it's an alpha now and how's the left for death has a ways to go yeah has a ways to go yeah
Starting point is 00:36:46 has that has that style of game not like gotten left behind by like major steps in the genre so the funniest thing about it is that uh the uh during the vgas they did the back for blood alpha trailer and then an evil dead game got announced that was also left for dead and then the dark tide gameplay trailer came out which is the left for dead game in 40k by vermin tide people like like bam bam bam bam bam hmm so if you like that genre there will be many games of that genre in the nearest future pve co-op shooter yeah vermin tide carried that torch for a while but instead of zombies it's rats and occasionally chaos men and warhammer mostly rats inducted warhammer lore
Starting point is 00:37:55 yeah that's why like when when vermin tide came out uh everybody that i knew that was into that was like yeah but 40k though right and then he came out with vermin tide too which is much better and it's very good and then everybody was like man oh they added chaos cool but 40k though right and then they're gonna come out with with dark tide like like next and that's the 40k one no wait so space marines shooting rats that have leveled up no no no no no no it's first of all you you can't play as a space marine in a game like that because the fuck it would actually it would actually be terrible because space marines are too in canon like beefy um so i'm saying like i'm like what kind of rats you know oh no they
Starting point is 00:39:00 won't be rats that's why it's called dark tide instead of vermin tide okay it'd be uh it'd be nergal nergalites is that the word i'm dead that'd be a bunch of chaos freakazoids zombos it's probably yeah okay sure you could do that um yeah it's been my week okay watched a lot of documentaries about dangerous roads turns out driving sucks ass if the street is under three or four feet of water yes if the water is at the bottom of your door you're gonna have a bad time yeah carve was not made to do that you gotta get one of those i'm not a i'm not a uh driver man i don't know how how much water is bad water you gotta get one of those um
Starting point is 00:39:59 steve austin boat trucks that can just convert yeah yeah i don't have to do that uh i had a week a couple things yeah tell tell me tell me about your week willy uh so first and foremost uh the guilty gear lore heaven or hell episode two has dropped it is now available you can go watch it if you're following along this picks up right after the end of the first video so this is the story of guilty gear x basically the uh the introduction of dizzy and everything about the immediate post crusade era um happy that's finally done and and and out there uh boy you know the the intensity of uh the editing is no joke here but uh yeah i do want to cover the whole story so you know um i didn't intend for it to be two months apart from the first one
Starting point is 00:41:05 but shit takes time uh it's it's a lot of verification there's a lot of info out there that's either a untranslated or b incorrect excuse me uh and c everything goes through the arksis like you know a machine and makes it up to the desk and uh the man himself has got to read it verify that it's okay and then come back with some changes and all that has to go through a translation process so uh yeah the the the the hope is to get these out faster but uh if you haven't seen it already check out the uh latest episode of heaven or hell guilty gear lore you didn't think guilty gear was convoluted and stupid before i'm making i'm making sense of the of the nonsense as best as i can you know uh i literally clicked a random part of that video
Starting point is 00:42:06 and saw testament kneeling at cliff's grave yeah and you said his father cliff underson and i exclaimed fuck off that's bullshit it's super real and then closed it it's i didn't know that extraordinarily real and and major uh in his in his character arc which sadly doesn't really go anywhere after these first two games but he did have a pretty solid one you know uh yeah yeah that explains the scythe choice actually um his name was given to him because he was intended to be uh the the one who would bear witness to cliff's deeds and his last will and testament essentially so he was named as such but it's not biological father he's a he's a he's a he cliff found him as an orphan on the battlefield
Starting point is 00:43:10 so ah biology's overrated but just to say like you know that's that's what it was he he he took him in out of uh the benevolence anyway um my brain is just stewing stewing in that stuff but like i think i mentioned before like the the the the probably the best part of it is just hours upon hours of guilty gear music that's all great to listen to and uh it's all pretty good it's it's just a fucking banger after banger it's it's hard to pick what to not waste now or what to save for later in a way but uh yeah it's good shit um so there's that that also uh i can say that yes i have uh i have finished off the desk remake and i'm on my new game plus and uh i have uh i actually i have some feelings about some things i i think the remake
Starting point is 00:44:21 was stellar i think it was um i we said it before but just to reiterate it is understated how amazing the environments and lighting are in that game um they did uh a ridiculously beautiful job with just the the atmosphere of everything um and again it it helps to be playing it you know on a ps5 with fucking everything hdr and pretty uh but yeah you really get an appreciation for all those zones like like you know uh like never before um the changes are what they are and i think the fat minister ends up being like one of the major the biggest uh letdown ones specifically the last fat minister the the the runaway guy yeah um one that is laughing up close and then his face isn't laughing um but i would say um i my biggest downgrade moment
Starting point is 00:45:28 is astrea um for two really important reasons i feel uh one i don't know if it was a bug but i i don't think it was because i saw other people ran into this but one uh garl doesn't talk when you walk up to him you walk up to garl and he doesn't for me he said nothing you swing at him you go he had no lines whatsoever so i was like what the fuck that was such a great moment and nothing happened there i got no garl vindeland lines so i'm like well that fucking kind of killed the moment and then the second seems like it is a mistake huh because i checked online and i had to see if other people ran into this and i saw other people posting yeah how come he had no lines what what happened you know people are also saying that he only talks to you if you are a human
Starting point is 00:46:31 really he doesn't talk to you in soul form apparently it's an old bug oh well that's a fucking man great grain of salt obviously i don't know yeah if that's true i don't know what the what the confirmation is on that if that's reliable or not i gotta gotta check with spy but if so then like okay because yeah i was human last time but that's a fucking great moment that uh it would suck to not get and then second more obviously is they changed the music and the music they replaced it with is nowhere near as uh strong as the original choice it's a completely different tone um like it's this bit i think that honestly in terms of the the musical quality of that encounter uh like just based on the track like purely like listening to the two tracks i think that new
Starting point is 00:47:35 track is fantastic it is it's a beautiful moment in score but it's not that baroque theme that feels melancholy the original was like hey man you know what instrument doesn't get used a lot the fucking harp escord we're gonna make a really intense harp escord track uh whereas the the the new one is a lot more orchestrated with a lot more music and the the harp escorts kind of kicked to the back but more than that uh i think it has a real encounter it's isn't it's isn't it harpsichord whatever it's the fucking the shit piano uh the shit piano for babies all right um but more than that is that the new track takes like a minute or more to get going
Starting point is 00:48:31 and team counter is usually over by then like it might be depends on how good like you can handle the original track like girl you got with that that the the meat of it within two seconds like right walking in yeah um girl the easiest way to deal with girls such as perium or run past them and like you i barely got to hear the track at all um yeah i'm thinking about like you know first encounter moments with that and uh yeah the the the replacement track just doesn't cut it i also didn't like the um you know how the nexus track changes to once you are like able to access the the end game um yeah that new track as well wasn't as wasn't as good so you know but that was that was uh not as as major but like i feel like those two things really affected the
Starting point is 00:49:35 the the astrea fight but you know it's not it's not going to be perfect if i had to make a separate complaint and this is across the entire soundtrack um demon souls had a really unique sound because it used so much uh so much brass uh which has been downplayed in all the new tracks like demon souls is probably the only uh the original demon souls probably only game soundtrack i could ever think of where i'm sitting there going is that a fucking tuba for this boss are they actually using a fucking tuba and that that that tone is definitely not present in the new tracks a judicator i don't remember them well enough uh i feel as if i i i do remember a lot of you know i feel as if um the horns yeah no like uh uh original got so much right uh for it being like
Starting point is 00:50:45 you know a brand new like game structure idea uh and so much in terms of tone was nailed outright um for for all the you know uh uh but like for everything that like those moments kind of lose there um the entire um the entire uh uh prison into uh uh you know tower up to the monk oh yes the best level transition in history is now even more the best that whole zone is magical like i'm of the belief they never topped that level ever in any game they ever made because man it's perfect uh latria it's it's kind of like there's so many moments too where you just stop to like you know go to camera mode and just look around at like the the the floating everything man it's it's just gorgeous it's fucking gorgeous uh really really um
Starting point is 00:52:02 you know felt the improvement in that level more than any you want to fucking talk about audio improvements latria features the single best audio improvement in the entire remake by replacing fucking riddles every fucking second with like a much more muted one that doesn't help me please oh my fucking god help me yeah uh and um some character like the changes to some voices are interesting like i feel like um some people like it's weird like ostrava got less douchey right original ostrava sounded more stuck up princely and new ostrava is more humble which i think it depends on i like it i like new ostrava more because of that humility but some might say that well he's supposed to be a prince though so it would make more
Starting point is 00:53:18 sense that he is kind of spoiled um yeah i can i understand i take both i understand arguments i understand either one but like personally i just like new ostrava because i like the character so i prefer i like the the the humble image of him kind of like throwing himself hopelessly against this lost cause you know um so i feel very strongly about uh this this topic because what they did is they went and got every voice actor they could and re-recorded all the air audio so most of the time with a few exceptions it's the same actors re-reading the same lines 11 years later or maybe you know 10 years later um and i was on the kajima frequency recently in which we talked about twin snakes and uh it is my stance that um you can't win with re-recorded audio
Starting point is 00:54:13 because it'll never be the same because it's not because it's nostalgia points and it's very rarely so much better that you're you're gonna offset the fact that it's not the same mm-hmm like twin snakes as a as a great example like even without the mailing part of the conversation uh people were angry about the re-reads as a whole it just i don't like almost any of oslo's re-reads hmm i know that don't like them yeah so again you're just like well my memories say this and this is what it was and you know it's so it if it's the same people doing a different take of something and they end up choosing something with different energy um yeah it can it can end up just making a moment that you remember strongly for one quality be completely
Starting point is 00:55:05 different um you can't you really do you you can't win but if the quality of what you originally recorded is not usable in a modern context yeah it's like 96 kps you have no fucking choice you know yeah you got you can't just go oh well it sounds like garbled fucking real player but we're gonna use it for if it's faithful this like they at that point oh you know i uh i do want to in this voice acting discussion there's something i want to talk about for yakuza 7 they if you are a fan of the yakuza series or don't care about the yakuza series and can just look it up if you ever doubted the power of the voice director and the way that lines are being recorded to fit into cutscenes you can check out there are a couple characters in yakuza 7
Starting point is 00:56:08 that are from yakuza 1 that got their dub actors back from yakuza 1 and the astonishingly like better characterization of those characters with the new dub versus the old dub is like what was the context they had to read under what were the line reads they were being told that yakuza 1 had a very bizarre situation where they're all told to read the line sequentially or some shit like that was the director a native speaker and were they choosing their their line choices based on you know an understanding of intonation or not yeah and what's interesting is that there were very few characters that there were very few voice actors that they that were interested at all at coming back from all that time ago
Starting point is 00:57:06 i think the funniest thing is that you know mar camel played majama back in yakuza 1 do you ever see that interview where somebody asks him how how he felt about that role no it was like from three four years ago he's like who what you yakuza what the what game 2005 i don't know man like that that shit is gone yeah okay it's about right that's about right well uh yeah i think he's done so much fucking voice acting um i still think uh that lady behind the the pillar in front of um fucking holy man there um oh saint whatever um bossa oh the the the true believer yeah yeah yeah who's just fucking check she's um boss she's just
Starting point is 00:58:08 she's just simping just checking out checking out oh excuse me don't say that excuse me excuse me excuse me that was a uh unintended unintended uh you know you mean she was giving her tier three subs to saint urbane that's correct that's correct saint urbane yes um bossa hey like did was there not clarification that um mere usage in common context is not an issue it's for people that are harassing and have been given multiple more warnings well we'll have to get to that later won't we yeah i've been i've been i've been informed that apparently uh it's not for common parlance as much as it is for uh abusive usage so yeah well they also say you get permits for nudity and okay that's obviously not accurate as well
Starting point is 00:59:06 okay but i mean either way it doesn't hurt to fucking dodge it but shit like that is gonna happen i'm sorry it'd be how it is uh anyway so uh her reads are still fantastic she's always been incredibly thirsty and uh i i i i like i like those uh those lines um and stockpile thomas um changes for the better as well in my opinion yeah i agree he was a little too fucking grime in a weird way uh in the old one and like now he's just kind of the sad sap you're just kind of like yeah he should be a sad sad yeah yeah yeah so um but yeah overall you know um fucking just great great good ass fucking remake you know uh uh the area below is gorgeous uh i wish i wish i could untether the camera more and and really just
Starting point is 01:00:13 take it for a walk you know i wouldn't be surprised imagine there's a bunch of really good reasons why you can't i'm sure there are but i wouldn't be surprised as well if someone fig if someone mods some shit and figures out a way eventually to uh you know crack that open but it seems like right now they give you a like sphere of a cage that you can slide the camera around in and you can get some pretty good shots of the environments from that but uh yeah the ability to pull back out and kind of see like the old one and get a look at those fucking non-moving birds in there and all their glory would be wonderful because they don't fucking animate and they still don't and i kind of wonder like i'm like that's clearly intended that they did not want these
Starting point is 01:01:00 birds flapping because maybe they're not birds but boy does it look weird with all this uprising and upscaling and remodeling to have these just seagulls stuck in in wingspan just sliding around with the body of the old one and you're like all right uh sure you know fine no problem there um and yeah i think the only npc who doesn't actually have their lips moving now is uh the monumental which perfect yeah shouldn't yeah that makes sense um so yeah desks was desks fucking great super duper fun on that um enjoying the the new game plus run putting together the uh you know the the the northern regalia which i didn't get to do last
Starting point is 01:01:57 time yeah taking that for a spin going that's a cool stick mm-hmm and uh you know just getting getting acquainted with a couple of different styles of builds and stuff i think it's funny i think i fell into the same trap that everyone else does on there like first run of sort of like you know spreading yourself out a little too thin on your stats oh man it's bad if you spray there's no re-roll proper here you got to just level down and do it again but um but i did make sure to just hit minimums because the point of this character was to like test out stuff more than it was feeling out yeah you know exactly like like go all in on something so um patches is fucking great uh his like i was on i was i was torn on the facial animation stuff in desks
Starting point is 01:02:50 right up until i met patches and he's just doing his lines and then in between his lines he's looking at you going yeah yeah and you're like wow yeah wow fuck you patches hello then yeah no it's perfect the the the the lip thing it's like it shouldn't be there shouldn't be any mixed feelings on it it's stupid that it didn't exist to begin with and it's good that it's here now i i will take mgs one head bobbing over no movement whatsoever in mgs one the way they talk is they just bob their heads up and down like fucking cartoon characters and i will take that over nothing just bob their heads just mm-hmm mm-hmm um so that's uh that's desk and then yeah uh got get into fighting games went back and took a look at fucking bushido blade two
Starting point is 01:03:56 god that game is still great so much fun it's great so pure and there is nothing like playing it on the rooftop stage where there's no side stepping it's just verticality uh excuse me horizontal stage play and spacing it's just footsies and intention and it's so fucking pure bushido blade two rooftop rooftop stage only all characters all characters allowed pick your gunman and then do your best to fire before you get sprinted at and cut you know that's easy actually well you those characters are busted yeah they are but on that stage on that stage where you can only run straight back you have to turn around and aim and in that time i'm on your ass with a swing and anything counter hitting you while you're while you're pulling your gun up is death so
Starting point is 01:05:02 is that a 21 foot rule specifically on that stage i'll say any character is allowed yeah yeah as long as i can get within this many whatever the steps and and catch it 21 feet 21 feet 21 feet the 21 foot rule thing ended up being like a horrible tragedy you're familiar with the the video i'm describing where a guy is in his backyard playing with swords and saying oh man gun guys think they can do this but did you get within 21 feet you can cut him i just jumping around like i forget i forget what happened he tripped and fell on a sword and like like gouch one of his eyes out like maimed himself horribly he's he's still around though well i don't know why he's alive yes i assume yes but i have not seen any videos since the news that
Starting point is 01:06:00 running around and playing with swords in your backyard can lead to okay you know he didn't trip and pierce a laundry okay no he fell on to it yeah like like sideways you know like like hey you know there's a reason why your mom tells you not to run with scissors that's correct because she doesn't want you to have fun also you lose concentration meter it's true slowly walk with those scissors scare the shit out of the other kids that is not real advice don't do that let it build uh Bushido blade two is incredible uh get into fighting games we're gonna be doing an episode on that yeah just hold in your fucking safety seara scissors bury the lie deep within you're cutting out like a like a little you're cutting out like a dinosaur on a piece of paper
Starting point is 01:06:59 and so you will feel the scissors power yeah and then it's like you're going to recess but your friend has he forgot his shit and you're looking at your safety scissors like shall i entrust it to him it's wholesome fucking playground virtual anyway um yeah Bushido blade is going to be coming up a little bit later um and we also revisited a good old fighter called pocket rumble which that's a nice one yeah uh some of you guys may have may remember from checking it out uh back in the day it was released on steam and switch and it was uh that kickstarter from like i think it was 2014
Starting point is 01:08:00 so a long ass time ago um still waiting on that bass dlc but hey who knows oof but uh in the meantime the the game itself is very fun and uh the steam version has super functional good ass rollback in it so um you can you can you know play play flawless matches have a good time um it it really is a a a a solid simple fighter that pays homage to um the neo geopocket color fighters so king of fighters are two uh the last blade pocket game uh gal fighters um a lot of that stuff has a particular unique recognizable sprite style and this just like leans right into that you know um for the longest while i remember that when people were making their like sprite edit characters for like mugen and just like
Starting point is 01:09:01 fun graphics of stuff the places you would go were either mega man style or neo geopocket color style those were the two right templates you know and uh the neo geopocket style is wider it allows for more expression and designs and such that the mega man template is a little bit more like limited because it's obviously made for an older console uh but yeah so this takes uh after that style and um it just kind of makes for an amazing game because the roster is all super solid it's a nice cast of eight that are uh really fun designs that are super unique from each other and the best part about it is um every every simple fighter has its own like strengths and minuses in this case one of the biggest strengths is you go to the tutorial
Starting point is 01:09:51 in this game and it introduces you to the basic concepts and then every character's unique abilities and it takes about 20 minutes tops to go through the entire roster's like moves and abilities so that you understand what everyone can do immediately it takes so little investment of your time to get the whole thing right away and then once you see it and understand that you're like oh i know what all these characters do so i now i know what to look for when i'm fighting them and i know what to what to do when i'm using them um and that's something that like you know it's another aspect of fighting games that is not really often addressed is the part where um you know the game quote unquote begins not casually casually you can have fun doing whatever you want but uh the games quote
Starting point is 01:10:42 unquote begin when you learn the entire roster and what they can do you know um or at least your character and the character that you're fighting against in this one match yes like but like the specifics of how your matchup uh plays out is that's advanced i wouldn't even go into that direction i'm just saying that like if i'm playing you and i pick uh modoc and uh and night writer uh night night night writer sorry go ghost writer um no no you you said it right sure and and and uh tyrant nemesis and you don't know what i'm doing or you don't know what those characters do because you're just not used to seeing them then you're gonna have it's gonna be really weird because you're like well he can do anything right now i don't know what the fuck is gonna happen right
Starting point is 01:11:35 could be anything so um games with large rosters with a bunch of characters that like you're just like i have no idea what this person does or where this is gonna go or what to look out for i'm just gonna do my thing and hope that it works yeah and then you find out oh no this character is built around stopping your thing so um in this case yeah the games roster can be understood right away and so that's like its biggest strength i'd say um and then you just have a really fun game that just gets the fundamentals and a great time is had so uh tune in for that again to fighting games pocket rumble as well coming out later this week um and uh yeah the last thing i did was i i appeared on the red bull adrenaline stream this weekend it's a really good name for an event yeah they had a
Starting point is 01:12:27 street fighter tournament they had a a muddy fight federation tournament and a couple other things going on so i jumped on did a little interview to talk about the fgc and to talk about you know whatever general content creation and 2020 stuff it was a good time and then we played some among us with some other content creators um and i got to play and i trolled sharpie it was a good time and uh yeah if you want to uh i think you can check out the um twitch.tv slash red bull on their day two archives to see uh what we did and and stuff and it was uh it was a fun stream i had a good time with among us i learned about some tech uh in that game that is pretty fucking hard to fight in that when you get down to like say six people left lie i mean no that's your basics
Starting point is 01:13:31 stacking is almost undefeatable if your team is competent oh yeah we were down to six people left and um sharpie was like all right it's simple stack up two teams of three go finish the tasks together and we'll just win the game and then we start playing and like so i'm stacked up with two other people and then the other team goes their way and then there's me there's sharpie and then there's the third person who is like staying with the group but fidgeting and like running off camera and then running back on camera and clearly like panicking while the group is very simply easily clearly moving towards the objectives and it's like why are you having such a hard time keeping up with us uh i among us is a really good example of a game that completely falls apart
Starting point is 01:14:25 when you get organized groups of people playing it right that that game is designed to be played with completely random people who don't know each other with no game plan uh who are not familiar with stuff and might panic and might not know yeah totally like also if someone is familiar and they're surrounded with people who are not not only can that person take advantage of those things but that person also will be sounding will sound too sus if people are like you keep talking too much you know too much i just don't like you or trust you you know the overconfidence play can also come back to haunt you i have a i have a i don't i don't know if the person you were interviewing sorry you were being interviewed by asked you this at that event
Starting point is 01:15:15 but i have i have a esports question for you sir that i will pretend to have a microphone for hello woolly you seem to be into fighting games is that accurate no oh that's a shame i hear fighting games are are cool uh you played among us earlier what can fighting games do uh that they haven't done over the past couple decades to somehow reach the popularity that among us got overnight in like two seconds work that was a really good answer thank you um so that was a good time and uh yeah shout out to red bull that was fun so yeah um tune into
Starting point is 01:16:12 woolly versus this week uh you're gonna see some 13 centinals continuing yakuza zero is gonna continue and of course starting tuesday um the 22nd reggie versus demon souls it's going down so tune in your freshly super powered run of demon souls tune in to see a cherry boy pop his well cherry on the souls games and see what uh how this is going to go i mean i don't even know if the man is aware of like like stamina and the concept of just not walking up to an enemy and swinging until you kill it so you know there's a lot of different possibilities here i'm looking at a lot of different possibilities it's possible now woolly i hope this is not the case i really hope it's not the case as you're you're the the coachy man in this situation
Starting point is 01:17:26 you're the co-pilot it's possible that reggie would be a natural which is kind of a bummer in its own right it's also possible that the man will have an ongoing near debilitating lack of direction which will necessitate constant left right adjustments a fate i would wish on no no one you say no one you say well uh what i can say is uh i believe in his abilities to assess a situation and find its weakness because again he is a competitive player he knows how to play the fight game and how to do the smash and other games really well so i can absolutely see his abilities coming into coming handy there and as far as navigation goes it's a good thing i have this map more or less committed to memory at this point through familiarity because the best
Starting point is 01:18:36 way for me to learn things is on my own when no one's bothering me in the comfort of my own home where i can learn it at my own pace the way most people get a chance to and i got to do that this time the way that's good you and everyone else did for the first time that's good by yourself that's excellent alone i would i would like to hold up my hand and say that i eagerly await and when it occurs if it occurs please send it to me at twitter on at pet pat stairs at when woolly tells that gentleman to go left or right when he totally meant the other one and poor reggie just sails down a pit just sails right down that pit
Starting point is 01:19:30 well there's two things i feel it in my heart i feel it i'm not promising a a a uh a place i'm promising i'm not promising a an lp without foibles but like i said i i think i'll do my best and when it comes to the general direction game i feel like uh i'll be able to you know use things like clock indicators whatever it takes for camera panning to help out as is but i don't think left and right is going to be a problem no i think we're gonna be fine i want them all right good i'm excited for you i know i'm not supposed to defend myself here i'm just supposed to take it i know that i'm aware of it defend what what are you talking about i just i i don't know how to all the best i don't
Starting point is 01:20:31 know how to how to you know i don't know how to put down that like when i'm when i get to sit by myself and not have anyone or anything else happening that i need to think about do or say i can pay my full attention to something and it makes a huge difference well yeah obviously and it feels nice and i just oh yeah yeah so it's just that's you know uh uh uh it's different it's just different and that's it hot seats different for the first time i i too can totally hit that jump when no one is looking i totally did it gang i did the 900 i mean i i uh i also remember your when because you played most of these games like off stream first so you were able to like oh yeah totally
Starting point is 01:21:33 knew what was going on i think the few there's only one i ds3 dlc i think maybe no no ds3 was completely new okay well i remember i think it was around that time that like when you were running into some navigation issues that you were like oh boy losing confidence with that and never i would never have lost a confidence i would never have gotten lost for 20 ish minutes on a single staircase and near the end of that series i could never have gotten so lost on stream that it becomes burnt into my mind how embarrassed i was that i could not navigate out of a single turn staircase yeah i have no idea what you're talking about
Starting point is 01:22:34 it's it's it's it's all hilarious as long as everyone who laughs understands that were they in the hot seat we would all be laughing at their stupid shit too oh man as long as everyone realizes the hot seat burns your pants so that your ass is exposed my favorite thing and you're no exception that like that watch our shit go like oh hey man so i like i did like a stream the other day or like i i recorded some youtube videos and i'm like i'm like sweating and i'm like i'm like exhausted what the hell why is it like this yeah like yeah i know right and i mean for for a lot of people that are i've gotten that from where it's like oh that is yeah you're finding out uh they're also playing a game they're intimately familiar with and not oh yeah that's why i did re2 the first
Starting point is 01:23:28 time because i can do that without looking at the screen exactly pretty much you know so uh these folks are talking about it with something they know really really well it's not so the throw blind on top of that and it's like you gotta gotta get sweaty yeah yeah the hot seat is hot enough to burn all asses and then and then they get exposed as if you were driving in cyberpunk oh yeah there's a bug isn't it so you stand up and your penis fall out tune in to woolly versus on twitch and to woolly versus on youtube and uh yeah that's what uh that's what's coming up uh you want to plug before we hit the sponsors yeah if you want to check out my bullshit i'm not doing a big uh i'm not doing a lot of streams this week i'm taking some christmas time off

Starting point is 01:34:02 tupac biggie nozz corrupt m&m how you doing this all right we're gonna be we're gonna be going down this uh in order of mental release uh let's see we talked about this was from technically from last week where uh they totally lied uh to sony and microsoft insert promises to get cyberpunk out on the new consoles but that came up last week so if it was my list i would say kentrick guys that was quoting m&m go ahead the very first thing that occurred with our good friends over at gog.com the distribution service owned by cd priak was that red candles announced that finally the pulled horror game devotion was going to be released on a major distribution platform in that devotion was finally coming to gog.com after being pulled from steam earlier in the year
Starting point is 01:35:10 due to a controversy over a winnie the pooh joke making fun of china's head of state they announced this and then four hours later gog.com came out with the statement earlier today it was announced that the game devotion is coming to gog after receiving many messages from quote unquote gamers emphasis mine we have decided to not list the game in our store oh christopher robin oh no a bunch of indie devs like pulling their games off the service or not going to that service in the future there's no honey to be found in this pot on gog not a single capital w the pooh gamers not all right capital x the pooh
Starting point is 01:36:20 sure sure strategy guide for cyberpunk's endings releases describing that 98% of the game's in-game dialogue has no change on literally anything at all in the game okay so the first one is weird because it's just a gog related thing that's like getting wrapped up in the in the story yes it's it's not about cyberpunk but it is the same parent company so they described that the game's endings are actually entirely dependent on a single dialogue choice that you make near the end of the game meaning that cyberpunk's ending situation is the same as mass effect threes obviously very popular ending um what you're also saying indirectly is that truer choices are offered by quantic dream games
Starting point is 01:37:31 this very very big truer truer true truer more true choices that is a unfortunate state of affairs yes uh following that on december 17th came the big one sony decides you know what everybody we are gonna offer all of you refunds for cyberpunk 2077 so that's where i would have started this because when we last left our heroes they were telling everybody to uh go ask sony for refunds leave us alone essentially and sony did not catch wind of this until the angry group showed up at their door and they're like they told us to come here and they're like what the fuck they told you to come here they didn't tell us that they told you to come here and people are like so what's gonna happen and then well okay guys everybody gets a refund yay and we're gonna
Starting point is 01:38:49 just pull the fucking game right off everyone gets a refund including the people who haven't bought it yet everybody gets a refund you get a refund and you get a refund if you were thinking about buying it yeah you here's your refund on spent money back in your pocket i'm a big fan of the the mentality that sony decided to delay cyberpunk 2077 manually well uh i mean that's that's what way of looking at it but not not uh not alone in that circumstance that's a big one because of course uh as soon as i saw that i'm like yeah you're looking at bad internal standings as stated last week you do not fuck around with conditional waivers on people um the hardware manufacturers are not gonna take kindly to that but at the very least well well i what if i did fuck around and then
Starting point is 01:39:52 told everyone that you would pay for well you who's gonna pay for it sony yeah uh the the the thing with the with the with the not fixing of the bugs and the waivers is that when that stuff happens behind the scenes in private it's still like away from consumers eyes and all in all there's negotiations happening and they can work it out with you the moment you do some stupid shit like actually make it a public thing now you are damaging the brand and you are hurting uh their bottom line by making people perceive the company as like uh taking their money and you know stealing from them essentially if they're not getting the value that they purchased and that is damaging and bad so now it's like okay you know what no fuck you and it becomes very
Starting point is 01:40:58 hostile and it was not a surprise at all to see that turn because um yeah so many things happen behind the scenes when games go to get shipped that get really heated and crazy going back and forth between publishers and hardware manufacturers but as long as it's not public facing it's all it all comes out in the wash and the next product you have the next game you have they're gonna look at it and i'll go well based on your history this is where we stand with you but you're still here you're still releasing this product um if cd project was a smaller studio uh that type of shit is grounds for getting your dev kits taken away free instantly license revoked done send them back please in this instance that's not what happened but they like just went okay
Starting point is 01:41:57 this is how you want to play it fuck your game then there it goes you're gonna really enjoy the next round of cert um then uh it all lies on microsoft right which is part b well part b is december 18th one day later xbox offers full refunds to everybody but does not pull the game due to what i assume personally is because they have a co-marketing deal with cd project and there's too many balls in the air to actually pull the game while having to advertise it for not being there what they do do however is uh remove um or rather they they update their refund policy for anyone who purchased the game so that like it's basically like yeah not going to be a stringent and they put a message up on the store which puts a little warning that says
Starting point is 01:43:03 let me get the exact phrasing essentially um hey if you're buying this game you should be aware that um users may experience performance issues when playing the game on xbox one consoles until it is updated oopsie whoopsie the game does a little bit of a fucking wucky please still buy it though what's part c later in the day best buy allows returns of open cyberpunk copies you know what's kind of nuts too about that type of message and like this thing with sony is like sitting right next to des on my ps5 i boot it up is the early access temtem build yeah which is in early access it's also good it's in a decent state yeah but but day one launch of that game was fine but but sony just opened up the door to games that are not finished being purchasable
Starting point is 01:44:16 and being allowed on their platform whereas prior to this only pc would let that happen you know i'm sure if if cdpr wanted to put a fat early access sticker on cyberpunk's release on the ps4 store things would be different they would people would you still be making fun of it because of how long it took to get to early access make no mistake this would be a very different series of events right now right everyone would look and go yeah all right clearly this is early access that is a correct label however what the fuck were you doing for the last eight years um not a lot i guess but but instead we're looking at like no no this is the finished product it's fine though you can't use your own footage it's fine though and that
Starting point is 01:45:09 just worry about so that just creates a uh what i might call turbo hostility around the release you know but like yeah five years six years seven years eight years till it's early access is man you guys botched this shit but okay it's in early access and that's what it looks like you know it would have been more honest so following all these very fun refund news is we get a description of a non-leaked but still media covered uh internal video meeting between the devs and management that happened on december 18th which could only be described as people asking questions and being fucking pissed and management being like don't worry about it bros um developers asked blunt questions about
Starting point is 01:46:19 the company's reputation the game's unrealistic deadlines and the relentless overtime uh let's see the two ones that i can remember is uh the devs asking why did you tell everybody that the game was playable back in january when it was actually a fucking mess uh to which the response was we will take responsibility for that which i don't know what that means and my favorite was how can you make a game talking about how corporations screw over the underclass while simultaneously forcing crunch on your developers and the only thing i can find about that is quote the response was vague and non-committal end quote uh so what that is is using the bearded blonde man meme that confidently says yes uh so why is the game so bad yes
Starting point is 01:47:21 except no this is not the time for that confidence this is not this is that's not gonna this might have been made it was a the long development process your chiseled jaw and and demeanor will not save you here the question is still the question the takeaway from that internal meeting is that um management botched this the average dev probably did a really good job and they're super mad that they got crunched for essentially nothing i feel bad for mr breathtaking himself who thought this probably was a sure fucking thing and always leans into science fiction and cool things like this and is working and like there's a new matrix on the way you know yeah totally can you feel bad for michael ponson
Starting point is 01:48:25 who the creator of cyberpunk oh yes okay that's true too that's true too yeah anyone who that's you know anyone who is uh basically looking at this like this is gonna uh same same difference um and then those questions uh kind of were unsatisfying and led if i'm not mistaken to a certain group oh but we're not there yet because you wanted to do this sequentially right sure December 18th later that night the cyberpunk reddit discovers that crossing a six megabyte threshold in your save file causes dramatically increased load times crossing eight megabytes on your save file on pc causes it to corrupt itself and become unloadable that's correct and die fortunately uh there was some advice officially there was some advice
Starting point is 01:49:42 uh let me i have to go to scroll down to get that advice the advice so when they were talking about it on the forums oh do you have it yeah uh the advice was quite simply unfortunately the savers damages cannot be recovered there's a message that occurs for corrupted files that exceed eight megabytes in size uh geog advises players to keep a lower amount of items to avoid corrupting save files all right that's good we'll come back to that later that's a fun one a young woman out in australia discovers that the xbox one game cards for cyberpunk did you even see this i sure did uh have botched company logos and in fact the cd project red oh is a is a image missing broken jpeg it's a broken jpeg icon it's the equivalent
Starting point is 01:50:50 and when people yeah when people didn't believe her she showed a video of her walking up to a stack of the fucking things and picking them up and then linked to it on uh jpeg high-fives website you can go and look at it's an australian chain oh no you can't because they took it down i mean like that uh that shows you first of all how automated the processes it gets on shelves without somebody verifying that that print yeah no like it was set up in a file and then someone took the file and popped it in and then you know they went straight to the press and then they just fucking you know cut everything out and that was that and like it's got a broken jpeg on it i mean fuck like way to replace the ign watermark on the okami box art for now now most obvious
Starting point is 01:51:50 flub yeah this yeah it took a long time to fucking beat that one didn't it like what was that like 2004 or something uh we remake yeah something all right now we're getting in there we're almost done all right the head of the studio a name a man named adam bad badowski the project lead studio lead the man steering the ship who's in the analogy is supposed to go down with it gets caught liking a bunch of tweets of people going basically a vendors came out in a worst state where all these people's refunds and essentially is end up just mass liking tweets defending the game and yeah how it shouldn't have been pulled and how sony is overreacting while i hate the phrasing of caught liking tweets that's yeah i hate everything about that
Starting point is 01:53:02 fine sure but this is fair this is hilarious now i don't know adam badowski at all i don't know anything about him other than he is the head of the project um but i did speak to a couple old friends of mine about potential situations and uh these old friends all worked in the game business they worked in they worked in dev they worked in uh qa and what came back was is that there is no fucking way this guy isn't directly responsible for a ton of these games problems in particular the the i had somebody tell me this dude seems like the kind of guy to play a cool game on the weekend come in on monday and go man that game was cool our game should have that and just add another feature to the list now again i don't know if that's actually what's occurring but
Starting point is 01:54:16 considering the attitude this dude is displaying i get a fucking hunch a room full of talented musicians can sit there with sheet music in front of them and play music together functionally but a conductor is necessary yeah all right following up new york times does a massive article just basically summing up everything only noteworthy because new york times is a big newspaper so now that's a mainstream like aha the bbc was making fun of them i don't know if you saw that clip i did yes anchor literally rolling her eyes at the shit show going well at least you can get a refund yeah um but now we're to they should have made it work better or whatever it was oh wow yeah they should have made it play
Starting point is 01:55:20 yeah and now we're to the second last but probably biggest as a response to the earlier dev meeting where the devs were like why did you tell everybody the game wasn't a pile of burning dog shit um a law firm is running around asking investors how bad do you guys want to sue cd project red for tanking your stock price as of the last time i checked cd project stock was down 41 percent over the past two weeks which if you're an investor means you just lost a buku bucks on cyberpunk hey you know how to pronounce that properly yeah uh i've seen a lot of people look at this and go oh man class action lawsuits never go anywhere this is slightly different a class action lawsuit from consumers stating damages based off
Starting point is 01:56:24 singular products often never goes anywhere because damages given to any individual would be low investors however could have pumped in fucking millions individually and gotten fucking hosed if they can demonstrate that the briefings and um information they received about what was going on was demonstrably false yeah because all you got to do is say they told us during this meeting that the game was on track for april and we're seeing devs just come out and be like that game was a burning trash fire in april that means you lied to your investors that's a big no no when you're a public company now whoever big no whoever bankrolled uh the movie cats i don't think sued for the state that the movie came out in uh no but so on and i don't know
Starting point is 01:57:31 what the precedent is with like undercooked media essentially resulting in a lawsuit that gets taken up based on the fact that you know essentially investors relied to i don't know what the precedent is here i don't know how it plays out but it certainly is a like punctuation at the end of the sentence of yeah these questions had unsatisfying answers well then the next thing is a lawsuit yeah and but it is a it is a firm asking around right it's not yeah the same as hasn't been filed exactly yeah yeah uh it's basically a law firm going hey investors how bad do you guys want to sue do you want to sue real bad and a couple of them were probably like yeah i'm thinking about it now this is the part where um i want to bring up that
Starting point is 01:58:23 i've heard reiterated that the story is great and that like it will still i have heard the opposite and that i've which is first okay i've heard i've heard reiterated from different people that the story is very good and that uh you know it's just it's caged behind everything else going on right now and if if it were to be one that you could access without issue that this would be a cool cyberpunk story you know that is a discussion for a year from now all right and last but probably not least this might be my personal favorite even though it's not the biggest people on the cd project forums are complaining that their save files are being annihilated by the eight megabyte save bug that i mentioned earlier well luckily the forum staff are here to help you
Starting point is 01:59:30 by telling you this is my paraphrase that it's basically your fault for playing the game too much here is a quote not all games are designed for unlimited endless play not all games are designed for new game plus plus plus cdp sorry cp 2077 as of now seems to have been designed with upper limits in place end quote open new quote the work around for now don't do it play the game until the end then start a new game don't continue saving and reloading the same character for too long don't craft thousands of items at once and i will skip far down into this to come up with the analogy that this gentleman puts forth quote patient doctor doctor it really hurts when i do this the doctor replies then don't do that now the treatment can begin so the official advice
Starting point is 02:00:35 off the cdpr forums for hey my game is an unplayable corrupted mess is you played it too much it wasn't designed to be played for 60 70 hours but i will go into detail this bug was discovered when people were crafting shit zillions of items and to make money in the game this caused your item ids to go up which meant that your save file would get larger well it turns out that when you load the game it also duplicates the item ids of the items in your inventory so loading the game also increases your save file size so which means your game has a limit continues it has a limit it will die over time it will die on pc for some reason it doesn't seem it's not being reported on the consoles so well i guess there's nothing there there's nothing in place to unload what
Starting point is 02:01:43 isn't necessary to limit what isn't needed to push the fence around yeah of course so i went through that thread and discovered that all the people in that thread complaining there were a couple that did a lot of crafting but most of them were people who had played it for about 70 hours more or less normally and discovered that at that point exploring picking up items loading the game etc the fucking thing just dies it just it just won't go and what's great about that what's really really genuinely incredible about that was i don't know if you guys remember but a month ago there was a news story going around based off the tweet from one of the devs that was like yeah so i've been playing cyberpunk for 175 hours
Starting point is 02:02:48 and then they later had to clarify no the game isn't that long that's a qa playthrough taking it real slow but the answer is in the release build of the game you actually can't play it for 175 hours like your save file cannot handle unusable way before that like way way before that maybe relying on like rest and quick resume helps the situation console wise maybe so that you're not actually low because it's not actually a real it's not a real load exactly and both consoles have an advanced form of you know state resuming so uh worse pc does not so this makes it a little more clear why in a pc focused company in a pc focused game there's no quick save or quick load an omission i thought was really bizarre
Starting point is 02:03:45 that i now think is less bizarre it would die even faster it would die way faster well way faster well infant why did you jump in the pool you should not have been near the pool that's your fault don't go near the pool again i want to and you'll be fine there is quick save then i was misinformed my b oh all right auto correct i want to give a shout out to a fan of the show spider man spelled with a you that's correct who compiled this list of nonsense uh for me as i discovered that i had covered it so much during the week i could not fucking keep track of it anymore um you did all people are pointing out there's a quick save but there is no quick load you you did miss two that i that i oh i missed two you missed two that i came across one
Starting point is 02:04:51 incredible is just the amazingness that we referenced earlier that is occasionally when driving a vehicle your character will t-pose from the driver's seat however when they t-pose it appears that they do so but their pants remain around the gas pedal so their ass is then exposed out the top of the car as you power bearing ass in it bare ass t-pose driving down the highway exerting your dominance over all that witness you the it's a new form of t-pose the assless t-pose ultimate chad move absolutely um somebody the chat just said deposing i like that deposing well it applies it applies to any model in the game uh any kind of character but uh that's a nice one and then um some people on ps4 were reporting that a hot fix that went out uh with the 1.05 version
Starting point is 02:05:59 from two days ago uh led to people getting stuck on the option screen when they went to the graphics settings great so a lot of people on reddit and a couple other places reported the new new patch gets you soft locked in the graphics of uh menu as of that's great last update so there you go that's great for those of you them that still have their games because they're not taking away from you the old last gen versions if you've still got them purchased then you can still play them they're just delisting it for anyone new uh it's not like pt where they're like scrubbing it but yeah wild absolutely wild so uh yeah check back at year nine see how it go
Starting point is 02:07:00 that's all i can really say i'm gonna be checking back in a year i'm just completely and utterly like like because yeah i mean the the i feel like with um with fallout with anthem with um insert other bot launch of recent uh memory uh the premise of the game was also one that like people were not really on board with what was going on well no anthem i looked cool with the flying and the suits but i guess i guess what i'm saying is that like cyberpunk still has some shit underneath it that's like ah there's some cool shit there there's some meat i want to taste there's some flavor i want to know more about but um i'm more than patient enough to fucking just pick that up and put it away the fuck over there in the meantime reset the clock 10 times a week
Starting point is 02:08:03 apparently because yeah this is this is what it's gonna be it's it's it's not like it's not the reset the clock wait seven days reset the clock this is re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re reset like maximum you know um yeah yeah that's uh that's a wild one man good game good good job guys i don't even i don't even know if it like constitutes a cyber dunk when it's just like 100 percent of the footage in news about about the thing yeah well like literally all it's all of it it's every video that you if you scroll on twitter and see a video of the game you know you're in for some shit if you stop to watch it
Starting point is 02:08:59 there's no footage being tweeted out or linked to that does not consist of some shit going down you know oh look the cars are falling from the sky again yeah like jean got got a great one that just had a bunch of stuff going on you know and a car tilts over the dude gets out sideways and he's floating in mid air and then it explodes i just you know that's great 100 percent of the fucking footage is just yeah you know you could you can like like i feel like again not many games have had that level of just like concentration of words like it's an it's oozing out of it out of every poor and then you have that clip with the guy going well you're certified bug free just to fucking put the cherry on top
Starting point is 02:09:50 um yeah not since the likes of drake and the 99 dragons has it been so clear and obvious no matter what version of the game you look at uh so that's cyberpunk that's that's the you know the most of it anyway there's some other stuff a little bit here and there can get into real quick so uh yeah i know that uh you know actually let's go to this so you touched on it but it's like surprising absolutely no one why wouldn't there be another goku coming to dragon ball fighters it's it's it's kind of just at this point why would you put a new character in it all well super baby two is in there so gt representation is now just vegeta it's vegeta's body but it's a
Starting point is 02:10:50 different character controlling it that's just vegeta and he's got the golden fucking return to monkey at his beck and call um yeah i think uh i think gt representation getting in there and movie representation getting in there is making all the fans happy that want to see that stuff but what the fans want to see more than that not us not us and not like this love like because remember like there is the people who are still currently xeno versing happily that are through the moon that ssj for gochita has been announced wouldn't the people who are xeno versing want obscure weird characters yeah in fact they just released um uh not janenba but the guy who helps goku fight janenba in the movie that looks like piccolo that's not piccolo pecan pecan they just they just put
Starting point is 02:11:58 out pecan right so uh straight up they're going for that obscurity but the obscure pulls are nowhere near as satisfying to the super cash masses to go down this road again i i hate doing it but it's super true people who are just like fuck yeah dragon ball you know um are are are more or less happy to see another form of their favorite characters powered up in in a cool way it's just what it is like this this game this game legitimately has one of the shittiest rosters of all time at this point it's it's it's like dragon balls in that weird place where for video game and specifically fighting game purposes it's almost impossible to make an interesting roster that wouldn't like upset a bunch of diehards that want those versions you know it's like it's like i don't know how to
Starting point is 02:13:05 put it besides it's like there's diametrically opposite interests from the originality we want versus the franchise majors that they that uh the the you know they want to appease people with like they're not picking these characters for no reason it's it's goku should have been a single slot and everything after that should have been a costume i don't fucking disagree uh no i will say give him ultra instinct as a secondary one because it's a different style but i i don't what if street fighter fives were you every costume was a different character and took up 23 percent of the roster wouldn't that be awesome again you know it's it's i don't i don't disagree with with an interesting roster at all i want the obscure picks i want the fun of that
Starting point is 02:14:04 it's just it's a it's a better more it's a more enjoyable way to represent the franchise but it took them fucking you know dlc seasons two and three to get a girl in there besides android besides 17 and 21 you know uh so it's just no joke characters but here's your eighth goku roshi doesn't count as a half and half no apparently not 18 excuse me i misspoke 18 um yeah so so anyway uh it's kind of sorry 9.26 goku is my mistake i don't disagree with what you're saying i'm just saying i like i don't expect them to play it any
Starting point is 02:15:01 other way you know they're gonna do the thing that people are it's just they're gonna reboot batman and make another batman you know they're gonna make another fucking whatever like whatever the thing is that's the main thing they're gonna do the thing because that's what it's the popular one what other goku's have they not gotten in there i don't think i think they're out of goku's they're not if they wanted to make they can make there's no full playable um super saiyan three there's only a cameo and he shows up in one super for his level three if they wanted a full super saiyan three goku they could have done it and they might still do it that's true super saiyan three is only for a glimpse in what in that one super so they might i'm seeing some i'm seeing some pushback
Starting point is 02:15:57 against me in particular that well i don't actually play dbfc currently so that i should shut up about the it's terrible roster i don't i don't buy that mentality that you can't you you have to be actively involved to look at something and realize that it's shit there are so many fucking weird ass dragon ball characters that you could put in that would not be the same character just literally the same person it's also genuinely weird like i get like people like the gt stuff it's it's really weird that they're putting in like as the official dbc fighting game like like gt's like fanfiction now i don't like it's weird yeah it's never but like it's it's weird
Starting point is 02:16:56 but the picks have never not been safe and boring the most in oh yeah it's the worst the most interesting they got was battle chi chi in super dbc and um i mean they made cyber frieza a different thing but it's like that's not like even a thing like of let me let me mr. satan not showing up you know let's look at gt right there are currently what three gt characters uh kid goku sj4 goku and sj4 gojita right i think that's all let's say that again from from g from oh there's four gt characters right kid goku for goku baby go g and uh not for goku gojita right not for goku no for for gojita sj4 goku and
Starting point is 02:18:00 no for goku is not a character kid kid kid goku turns into for goku in his super oh okay okay so you got kid goku baby vegeta and uh a fucking uh gojita right so you like are you literally are you really gonna tell me that fucking like super 17 is just too weird when you're gonna put in like the same character but i i can't i can't i i don't even want to engage with this it's so fucking stupid it's just the same fucking person over and over and we're having the same so fucking terrible okay we have to move on because the conversation is not going anywhere because i like it's just they've never done it they've never been these people i'm i don't i would not expect better pics all of a sudden out of nowhere
Starting point is 02:18:58 my only hope in every single time my only hope from the beginning was that arxis would have more of a say over the way the roster would shape up so that they could get in some interesting pics and it feels like they did and do but they basically are able to get in like what maybe one character per pack almost you know and the rest are just according to the brand right it feels like like feels like what you get one interesting one it's from them it's just so much more frustrating that like i was talking about this and the i made a joke how many more goku's do you people need and the response is well they're still missing a couple they are like a legitimate like real like like i i almost feel like there are people that would have been happiest if this was literally
Starting point is 02:19:51 a every version of goku versus vegeta the fighting game they would and it was a 35 man roster of just the two characters all the most boring fucking crap yeah and i mean you know a couple people essentially because for some people that are happy with that the game is a model viewer so that's the end of it once you've seen the models in a way it becomes what it becomes and there's there's nothing you can really do about that that's a real thing if you're looking at this as a collection of cool model viewing then you're like there's the character there's the form right cool intro cool outro and we're done here you know um and i and i would also like to say that there is one thing that i believe exacerbates my frustration uh and i assume it exacerbates
Starting point is 02:20:50 other people's frustration is that the naming conventions they have decided to go with with almost every single one of these characters are almost all terrible um s s j s s g s s like was so bad that vegeta in the manga is like can we just say blue dude can we just say blue back when the movies first came out and they had no real proper naming sat yet i had to have someone explain to me why he's super baby too and i heard the explanation and went that stupid he should just be called baby vegeta or baby vegeta or what like well you see because he's the second body that fidgeted the baby it's shut up so you know uh shout outs to hyper dimension and shout outs to um budakai for having
Starting point is 02:21:50 the like one character that goes through all the forms of course if you were to actually give goku like a billion different like a giant unfair move list with a billion different forms and things to do it would not really be balanced or particularly fair just costumes just costumes so costumes but you but more than costumes because they have they have different moves and styles that they that they do right so like i would make them i would make it like premium in the sense that it's not just a costume it actually changes things like like the way the super hits you is the same but the but the super itself the visual of what he does is unique to the the costume he's wearing yeah absolutely premium premium costume you know
Starting point is 02:22:35 the the the the energy color if it changes according to what he's doing whether he's possessed um or not you know all of that is like affecting the visual of what you see but the character themselves play out the same and it's the same balanced one um i mean shit i again i like i i'm willing to say that like i would i'm like fusions are their own fusions as their own slot is fine and um uh fucking um you know think something like ultra instinct which is a huge difference is fine but yeah the jido should be one character and gojira should be one character but never forget that the uh because there's the tenkai chi games of course which which is the handle it that way yes uh but the um the fucking game final bout on
Starting point is 02:23:32 playstation if anybody forgot what that character selection screen looks like when you unlock everybody is the dumbest fucking thing ever and they've never left that behind right the gt sorry the the the the yeah no the gt final bout character selection screen not only has infinite duplicates of goku's and vegeta's and and all your uh your in-betweens it literally has the same character just twice with a slightly different name so like super saiyan goku is not the same as super goku even though they're both adult goku at super saiyan level one one of them is wearing gt clothing because it's the adult gt version of the character that's doing super saiyan one and the other is doing super saiyan pre gt so they literally just take the same character and split them up according
Starting point is 02:24:35 to the same thing across two different eras it was the it was even worse right go back and look at the list of ssj versions of characters and then characters that are just listed as super it's even dumber it's been even dumber in the past they're they're not changing this i actually just realized like just how much i hate this shit because the argument of well i mean you gotta have you gotta have kid base one blue dad monkey goku you have to because they're all different and i'm like this is the game in which i can make a team of fucking frieza sell and boo boo boo boo who between them have enough forms for an entire game but they get one boo gets to now i'm not sitting here saying i want frieza versions one
Starting point is 02:25:48 or sell version two gets two frieza gets a transformation like fuck off boo got two there's kid boo and fat boo oh you got fat and kid okay so fine boo got see boo was fine where's fucking shit sell uses his tail to suck in the in the special cut scene where's super boo there's no boo wearing the gojita clothing which looks so clean it's fucking sick that's my favorite so good yeah yeah no oob none of it oob so i don't care about oob oob is the the most upsetting like character to not show up to me um but i also put that complaint at the manga as well well it's the last fucking page
Starting point is 02:26:48 you know it's like oob's cool maybe probably he's got a he's he looks cool we don't know anything about you know dying from heart failure goku and dlc pack five yeah it's uh anyway raditz isn't even in the game yeah well where's one armed gohan from that fucking flashback and and and great great say a man shows up as a striker you know yeah anyway anyway we we get it but just dude just remember that no matter how you feel about it there are way more people out there that are actively saying okay so now that the new batman movie has announced
Starting point is 02:27:59 are you going to announce who's going to play the new joker for him all right i have a feeling of confidence in my heart that everyone involved in your example and the dbz version of that example and the more broad human life version of that example is a dumb person and that i pat and smarter than them there are people who sat there got the joker movie saw suicide squad saw uh dark night then saw this new trailer and went well we need more we need another joker can't have it with he's so good and just that's that's the end thought it's just it doesn't go further than that dude and then the company goes well give the people what they want baby vegeta is my favorite version of vegeta no it's not no one's favorite version of vegeta is baby vegeta two
Starting point is 02:29:08 dude you could list out all the goku's and you would still be missing the absolute final goku there are like four androids that are just not in the game uh sure um more but like you there's including the racist one and then the other racist one not that one the other racist i remember the one it's the other one okay which one was the other one um hold on a second pull up these fucking redo or the numbers here also yeah somebody just said it in chat i 100 agree the fact that there's no fucking bad man vegeta as a costume oh that's the does that game even have casual clothing uh yes it does um but it's extremely rare uh you can change veddell's hair um and what was it dude why does android
Starting point is 02:30:26 13 look so good and then so bad trucker hat it's great yeah but then the blue thing yep blue blanka it's terrible 14 a man i've never seen this android once um oh 15 there you go what is up with that there you go yep it's good it's good i've never seen this character once android 15 not showing up in the fighting game anytime soon can we just have a fucking clash between android 15 and popo on the main stage please android 15 sorry android 15 and uh and 19 just right on the main stage 19 as well there you go yep um toriyama is a pretty good artist but his misses are some fucking gutter balls he's he's he's coming from an era of yesteryear
Starting point is 02:31:43 grandpa's had a long life you know says a lot that like legitimately the the best toriyama design in the past 20 years was not made by him it was made by arc system works 21 21 was the og the original character rather um but yeah uh i was gonna say that like you get all your goku's in the game and i guarantee you you'd probably still forget about super future goku jr and vegeta jr from the distant end uh when i think grandma pan i think is watching them at the end end end of the timeline he designed 21 okay let me try this again the best design he ever came up with was for a character that he didn't think mattered there would go because if he thought it was that design was good enough he would have put it in the manga which he should have
Starting point is 02:32:51 done anyway yeah end of gt there's another goku waiting for you and another gt and another vegeta oh you want to talk some shit there's that fucking mobile game that just invents yes new new versions of broly like it's a brazilian fan fiction we can't you can't you can't get into mobile game you can't get into was it dark broly or or uh god what fucking level was it uh the mobile game had some shit um his alias is broly dark there was wait manga debut what the fuck is that super dragon ball heroes dark demon realm mission there it is dragon ball heroes there's a manga for the mobile game what there's also the game fusions that just invents the characters too you could technically just does that the game there's
Starting point is 02:33:49 a fusions game that's all about fusing characters that you can you can just go nuts with you're basically doing persona demon fusion oh this is all so high quality you know but yeah um i feel like i'm trying to move on i have to say something that people are going to be very mad at me so let's move on afterwards so that i can avoid the heat i feel like nice nice avoiding of the heat as you go right back to it i'm looking at dragon ball and i'm just like oh this is literally just star wars again those first three were pretty good and then everything after that just caught worse and worse and worse i mean moving on to our next story it's not it's not that ridiculous of a take you know
Starting point is 02:34:58 although i did hear that a new character is named goichi and that's pretty cool if that's in fact a reference but yeah um i remember one goku gave that rabbit guy the stick and put him on the moon because he kept turning people into carrots do you remember that i remember that that's my favorite goku so that's the state of dragon ball uh then there's uh dan coming to street fighter five in february they showed off some moves and they gave him the only thing that matters his v skill is his taunt and he can cancel out of his moves into the taunt and the taunt will juggle you allowing him to keep his combos going all right done and done that's literally all anyone all anyone wanted well no that's not true i also want him to get back his svc chaos moves but i'm talking to no one
Starting point is 02:36:00 yeah yeah i mean even amongst fighting game heads you're saying like i remember svc chaos and the room's like nah they gave him some beast ass moves when uh it came around to snk's choice you know what i will take something back i will apologize to dragon ball fighter z for saying it has one of the shittiest rosters svc chaos svc fucking chaos has the shittiest roster ever 18 out of 30 i think when we last counted 18 out of 30 oh boy oh man holy shit yep yep yep yep yep but hey if you're one of those if you're someone who's only ever played as ryu or ken in street fighter boy have i got a game for you you're gonna be at home with everybody embarrassment of riches if you like sword fighters boy
Starting point is 02:37:17 yeah do i have a nintendo game for you shoto heaven hey man that's that sephroth challenge thing is like a legit great idea brilliant so seph came to smash brothers as we talked about gino got a costume you know okay can i i have an idea here is puppet again i like gino but whatever uh that's a nice little you don't pull that out of nowhere that is a statement from sakurai saying we hear you and we don't care also we please quiet we hear you and we don't like you this is this is what the that costume says right now the consolation prize that the game has as costumes for me is super interesting and unique because i don't think there's ever been a game like where there's like everyone wants their picks
Starting point is 02:38:20 but there's a secondary consolation prize slot that that you can fall into right anyone who's not good enough for the main roster can fall in in a reference form in the background as an item or as a costume playable and i think that um shit like for example like sun's getting in there where it looks like him because it's a mask it's a fancy costume no one has any complaints about that because it looks great because it just looks like songs right but if these why are you saying it like sands if these sans serif whatever it's the the the word for comic sands the fucking pronunciation in in reference to the to the to the to the fonts it's just it's yes as the font that he's named after yes okay um
Starting point is 02:39:24 um did you even play undertale you know that like san s is used in other fonts too right and that it's a reference to yes and that's why he he speaks in comic sans too yeah come on you know that it's making reference to the fact that it's like with song as in french without without serifs it's a type you know and then i don't know what a serif is other than the name of jensen's employer in deus ex human revel well boy have i got some info for you because i enjoyed my typography class where you learn about descenders and ascenders and serifs which are the little things on uh letters that kind of stick out and like sharply so is that an angel reference no i don't think it's a reference to like no serif him with ph
Starting point is 02:40:23 is different serif is in uh with an f is not the same thing yeah anyway whatever that's not the point the point is is uh fucking letters in whatever and shit and nonsense and pronunciations in french and all the dumb things that nobody fucking cares about because it is what it is and um my yeah my associations don't make any sense to the rest of the world and that's okay uh sans is in the game and there's no problem with his costume because he looks because it looks fantastic but all the other dumb me's where your dumb me face is sticking out suck oh i don't want to use zero if zero has a dumb me face on it so because it's not zero it's somebody pretending to be exactly so if they were to do
Starting point is 02:41:19 but yet assist trophies are faithful and look good so you're like oh that's cool i wish it was playable but look look at that they're shovel knight right so would the game not be oh god would people not be happier if the me costumes were just accurate depictions of these characters except oh yeah wasn't a costume was just a but the move list was the same shared move list like i think the funniest thing is like the you look at the ff7 costumes right next to gino and like they look way better even though they're just on me they do a cuphead also looks great because anyone who's already has that proportion it works perfectly so because this consolation prize existed they could have mitigated some salt by making these costumes just accurate
Starting point is 02:42:13 and then making the me fighter uh have like you know you can make it so that the body shape changes to match whatever accurate version of these guests are i think that the gino costume could have been very easily improved by having it just constantly farting um and uh it ejects fart smell out of your controller into your mouth i'd like people to take note of the interesting progression here that is uh pat having zero opinion about gino in general whatsoever but then upon discovery that many people wanted gino in the game uh came what you're witnessing right now no that's not true that it's a different progression it's not it i'm not going to tell you that it's a smarter or better progression
Starting point is 02:43:10 but it literally goes back to uh being in fucking god was it high school and somebody doing man gino's so cool and then i showed me a picture of it in a fucking nintendo power and i went that dude looks stupid as fuck and then i heard about gino world later and was like that's that's cool you know what you're right played super mario rpg and i was like i can't do gino world so gino sucks again you're right that's back to being stupid um so it's not better it's not better no uh so that would have been a way better mitigation of like some of this this you know side salt i think uh but it's too late for that now sephiroth is there his move list is great he's pretty cool overall they designed him
Starting point is 02:44:09 quite cool with love uh he's got the angel wing the one-wing angel system that pops out not just when he's at low life but also when he's at a stock disadvantage so he has to be in a panic situation uh in that nintendo direct also was uh what i can say is the closest thing to a saccharide dunk you're gonna get because people like to photoshop him giving you the middle finger even though he was just counting in binary um and uh that wasn't real that is fun to do that wasn't real but what was real is he did have a moment describing the difference between sephiroth's fair and bare and he described one as being better than the other because one was 13 frames and the other was 15 frames and what the hell am i talking about i can't be talking about
Starting point is 02:45:01 things like this i'm just a man who wanted to make a casual fun game for people to play and uh i chortled at that that was quite funny that's pretty funny considering like nintendo just shut down like another exactly fucking tournament for no reason exactly the tournament like the tournament uh a backdrop of this entire situation is extra fucking flavor in that situation but there was when we talked about that melee tournament with the the slippy there was this massive post that came out that you probably read woolly was called what uh the like the history of nintendo hurting melee i forget the exact name of it but it described basically like the last 15 years of nintendo doing this weird bullshit where they will pretend that they're into melee or a
Starting point is 02:45:55 smash scene and um like a university will want to hold a tournament and then nintendo will be like no you can't because we're gonna hold our tournament in the summer and they go oh okay and then nintendo doesn't do anything yeah and then uh like e-sports organizations making up these massive deals and doing all the groundwork for all these these pushes for multiple years and nintendo just going on yeah we still got some stuff we gotta do and then just waiting until something gets announced or like their next game or whatever and goes oh you know this deal really doesn't make any sense anymore so we're we're gonna pull out and a lot of people thought that that breakdown of events was like kind of conspiratorial or hyperbolic and then sure enough this week nintendo shuts down
Starting point is 02:46:48 a fucking university tournament because they're gonna totally have one this summer they're gonna totally have a tournament circuit this summer guys just you wait so um the grift has been going on for a while but there is a thing they've made called nintendo vs that retweets smash splatoon and pokemon stuff pretty much uh and i think yeah some mario tenison there sure um and it's their competitive uh brand that they they have so they made a placeholder thing to say that they have a thing there if they ever want to do something really but um it it there why there's no reason to assume that they're going to ever actually i think that one like uh the nintendo the championships thing that happened is like probably the closest to a a proper major event with different games that
Starting point is 02:47:55 they all came together and had a tournament for you know um that's the last thing i remember hearing about or tuning into that was like absolutely run by them and not just like a vague support um i just don't understand like the why they're so adamant to shut down scenes that exist while simultaneously trying to push scenes for games that don't end will never have them like arms is never going to be melee right nope even if arms has a scene but they'll push the shit out of arms but like actively sabotage melee like it's super weird i think poking is a more popular example in in there oh yeah poking poking has pretty a pretty active uh community i'd say by by comparison to arms uh but uh yeah so you get that um and then alongside that sephiroth news
Starting point is 02:48:56 was the hey he's coming out on um uh whatever the the 22nd but we put a challenge in where if you can fight him on a very hard difficulty and win you can unlock him early and that's that's you know that's a fun idea that's cool man that's cool yeah so i haven't uh i haven't tried to do that um i could if i wanted to because i'm really good oh you don't have to you can do it on any difficulty okay you can do it on easy there you go okay see i could have done it uh also hey if you i thought you had to do it on very hard that's why i didn't do it so it's the if i couldn't i thought so too be able to be like yeah i could do it but then that would probably lead to some other form of controversy about like yeah you know excluding people that can't beat it
Starting point is 02:49:55 and stuff like that i don't know there might be a get sued by uh they there might be an accessibility discussion inside there somewhere too but anyway um the nintendo and square next would get sued by uh dove for discriminating against users of their products oh right the soap company okay yep and then because of the smell okay due to the lack of washing stink lines okay so anyway uh the um other thing was they had a nintendo world direct
Starting point is 02:50:56 in which uh miyometo miyomoto got to show you the completed super nintendo world available at usj where people will surely be able to flock to and visit in this in huge crowd in this uh safe to gather worlds we live in now uh oh boy can't wait so i i i love nintendo land i think it's a cool i i do too it's a place i would legit want to go i wanted it for years when uh however i have a piece of advice for the uh staff slash uh architects of the nintendo land i recommend that you set up a dedicated zone um where you can uh shove all the dead kids and adults who have broken their necks in nintendo land because if you thought kids injuring themselves trying to run into fucking gate nine and three quarters at fucking harry potter's
Starting point is 02:52:16 shit was bad get ready for adults full steam Naruto running into those n64 portraits head first i thought you were gonna say jumping as hard as they can with their heads to smash the blocks you know what that's a good one too that's that's fine too just open up because man you know how disney has those corridors underneath it just open up a hole and just gather all the bodies and push them in and have the music of Mario does use his fists to break blocks he does but people might not know that if they have the head thing next to it a lot of people a lot of people think his head is used to to hit the blocks we know that bet yes situation will be fine in japan and then when it comes to usa or there may be a problem or you let the body rot on the floor
Starting point is 02:53:23 until it's just bones uh-huh and then you have a little dry bones decoration that you can walk by or or uh you take the half rotten body and jam it into the teeth of a piranha plant and be like oh no they got jimmy well that's not a reference to anything at all it's not it's just a piranha plant being a vicious fuck well you ruined it so good job alternatively you could throw the dead into the lava pit there you go now you're talking accuracy accuracy is important ah accuracy anyway um that place is something that yeah i absolutely always wanted to exist and it's cool that it does but uh i did see the thing where it's like you got to punch the actual block to get your point and i was like ooh you got to touch it
Starting point is 02:54:20 ooh that seems short side why do you got to touch it why can't i just not touch it i don't want to touch it like i don't want to let me not touch it please you know i had a weird moment i was watching a tim roger's video where he's hanging out on the street talking about donkey kong and there's a part where a lady walks past him on the street it's like a new york city street it's a video recorded in 2018 and uh she walks right past him and kind of brushes him with his shoulder with her shoulder and i was like oh no that's too close to him like oh man we're gonna be fucked we're gonna be fucked oh yeah already come out of quarantine no old footage old things already look weird right now just because of like you're like yeah the distance and and all that
Starting point is 02:55:14 shit fucking big old sweaty handshakes and and beyond super elaborate handshakes where you can you fucking fully exchange all your all your dna now that it's been unlocked yeah yeah i i've had conversations with punch mom about this uh i mean we've you know basically concluded it's like no like this is a change of era like when things return it won't be the same like this is a life change actually and people might not have internalized this yet but like even if you try to hold on to what was a lot of people are not gonna do that and enough people are gonna be different about it that you will always be like oh man it's not like it used to be even though i want it to be that way like it's it's it's a massive massive change
Starting point is 02:56:23 norms are gonna undergo a whole lot of rethinking you know luckily i have prepared my entire life for this societal change i remember whenever i'd watch anime or see a game where um a character like like a like a couple that like or like two characters that really like each other will just like run up to each other and be like i'm so glad you're okay and like they'll run full speed and just stop in front of them and just be like yay i'm happy that you're safe and from six feet away and they'll just stand there and they'll be so happy and then they'll you know continue about whatever they're saying and i'm just like where's the fucking hug is it so crazy to just hug a friend even if you have not established a romantic pursuit it's just a
Starting point is 02:57:17 friendly hug and it's like yeah not everywhere some places it's more than just a hug any form of contact or skin ship is is a thing you know but i have these i have these like memories of like being like why won't they just fucking just hug just say hi what's the what's the big deal you know and now it's like well that's probably gonna happen to us now you're gonna say hi and then just stand where you are and that'll be that you know so anyway nintendo world you can watch mimoto do the tour and see what's going on um some fun ideas in that in that thing it's again it's it's like one of those parks that should have existed fucking 20 years ago instead of the
Starting point is 02:58:11 instead of the the the john leguizamo movie put the money into that instead you know but yeah um what do we got then oh jeez yeah okay well no just um um meeting meeting folks at at events whenever if ever an event does exist again is uh yeah there's a whole lot of uh there's a whole lot of changes going just i'll just get you want to talk about talk about the stupid twitch shit uh sure twitch is fucking stupid so you watch they're very mad at you for streaming and they want you to stop you you watched the entire um the entire thing did you
Starting point is 02:59:11 fuck no i have time to waste on that fucking garbage it's all bullshit it i fucking skimmed the important parts where they say um uh so we we will not you where the official announcement is that if you use terms such as quote simp quote incel quote virgin as long as insults in a harassing context that's ban worthy uh which should have fallen under the existing existing harassment rules whatever um the you know we'll obviously be looking for content a context and then you go back to the the round table slash uh a fucking town hall whatever the fuck they call it and they're like oh you know moderators don't have time to look for context we know they're just going to look for content and then okay good
Starting point is 03:00:12 excellent um and then you have a streamer getting banned permanently for uh having like her daughter talk to chat for like one minute or some shit meanwhile other people have famously not gotten banned for many big more things than that um i think my favorite is that like slasher's been covering uh what a fucking nonsense man i was i was waiting i was waiting for you to finish to say shout out to slasher for always having uh the necessary summary of these things when i don't feel like waiting through all that dreck uh oh it's it's so much slasher just tweets to the point and i very much appreciate it yeah um my favorite today is like he got contacted by twitch employees being like you're making the company look bad is very responsible he's like he is he is
Starting point is 03:01:14 by telling you what they have to say anonymous twitch employee emailed to scold me about my recent coverage of the company saying among other things that inside scoops are concerning to staff members you're right the big problem for twitch right now is definitely my tweets keep up yep yeah yeah totally me telling people what's going on according to their policies is making the the company look bad there was another one a while ago where like i think they called him out by name in the thing of saying that uh in a call that his uh coverage was uh like uh what's not alarming but like you know like meant to like stoke people up and it's like he's literally just posting direct quotes of your own words it's just like if exactly just taking if taking your own your own
Starting point is 03:02:05 quotes in context and just putting it back at you makes you think that this is this looks bad then i don't know like everything about twitch moderation is always complete nonsense because it's never applied fairly ever it's never applied evenly ever um so if people are gonna ban you they're gonna ban you they'll find a reason twitch will now automatically block the n-word hard R from the chat because apparently they didn't think to do this once in the past 10 years of the site but did think that uh simpix uh incel and virgin quote unquote were worth dying for congrats to all the black streamers who now have to manually add the other 999 iterations and letter combinations of the n-word to auto mod so i want to break down the mentality and the the timeline of this right
Starting point is 03:02:59 so uh can we get what can we get what about n y u k a so the timeline of this is is tell a couple months ago uh twitch uh there's some articles that come out that goes hey twitch is like uh a fucking sex pest haven and everybody's getting sexual harassed all the time and in response we see feel good but totally pointless things such as uh the the removal of the blind playthrough tag which i didn't see any blind people happy about especially those who are asking can we have a disabled tag so that people know that we're disabled and don't come into our fucking streams and shit all over us for being disabled no that would take work um i saw some trans folks be upset because they're like can we get a trans tag and then twitch
Starting point is 03:03:59 goes well no because we don't want to invite harassment they're like but we're already getting harassed why would you not whatever then moving on to simp virgin and incel which i think is actually really funny because all three of those terms are predominantly male oriented insults um and bonus incel was a term invented by incels to call themselves that that is a self-created term the word virgin is just a it's a real word i mean it's not only a real word it's a company and a type of oil implying implying that virgin is like a like a bad word to say is like what are you implying the people who haven't fucked yet suck ass no it's that anything you're allowed to you're allowed to stream on twitch when you're 18 are you implying that that
Starting point is 03:04:53 would be a bad thing no no no it's it's simply whatever is used to harass people as of this moment in the year of our lord 2020 this is what we are i mean this is what we're moderating i think the funniest very like blowback to the oh so all that happens right and then the the then people accurately point out wait you guys are banning the the casual use of a word like simp but you still haven't had the decency to just like ban the n word from text chat like really isn't that like like a like a like i can do that in mu bot like loopy do right like you guys can't do that so now they're banning the n word but only the hard are which is the important thing so the hard are is globally banned but all versions
Starting point is 03:06:00 are banned if they're used to harass this is a and there's no there's no distinction being made for the person who's saying it's race or background so is twitch telling me that as long as i'm not using it to harass people i can go for the soft a and it's no problem somehow i don't think that i don't think that's what they're saying but this policy is going to have to keep up with the euphemism treadmill as time goes on uh and and things move out and into appreciation and depreciation uh at some point in 2040 they're gonna make sure to have to regulate usage of people being called uh zoidbergs and or spagos for for the people of spagonia lest we forget it's gonna it's gonna be interesting because it's an it's a it's a live active form of of policing
Starting point is 03:07:00 here i i have seen three versions of this that have made me laugh big time one the changing of some of these terms to straight up tier three subs which i think is really funny because i used that the other day and poor sarin who's one of my tier three subs was like hey i'm like oh sorry um i saw the suggestion of calling versions of this prime thanks for your your your prime or amazon prime or use it as a verb um but my favorite was it's like why are you being such a bezos these fucking bezos is is people are very simple the creativity doesn't have to go that far it's gonna become whatever you don't allow it to be it's just that simple i think it's it's extra double triple hilarious
Starting point is 03:08:21 that i don't know if you know this woolly jeff bezos the owner of amazon man only follows one person on twitter and it's his ex wife this might be the saddest fucking thing i have ever heard in my life well i mean that dude's a prime bezos uh i mean because he is he's literally the the prime he's the original bezos his name's jeff bezos he's the guy wouldn't you want to keep an eye on the other half of your fortune that's a prime tier three i mean right there would not who wouldn't oh boy oh boy um so yeah it's uh to anybody uh afraid that they're gonna get banned you
Starting point is 03:09:25 know what actually i'm i'm the the most frustrating thing about this entirely is is that they talk about how it's about harassment and shit like that um does this mean if i call sephiroth a simp that that qualifies is and are is there are the rules to protect sephiroth sephiroth or they are they primarily this is an interpersonal the rules are currently pro scub currently no the position on scub might change in the next three to four years it's possible i'm big anti scub personally right now we're pro scub um as far as i can recall we used like i mean things used to be anti scub back in the clinton administration at the very least we were anti scub back yeah i i'm i'm i'll
Starting point is 03:10:17 i'll be anti scub yeah no things were anti scub anti scub around around the clinton years but but now the world has become pro scub um whether or not things return to the way they were after this as a result of people getting too much scub it remains to be seen i think it's possible that some people might get sick of scub being shoved down their throats and might resort to a call to yesteryear and become anti scub again now i obviously there's a third portion of people those are the the the scub clueless scub indifferent if it were the scub indifferent also um educate yourselves this is important as shit okay i'm not going to tell you what scub is you got to look it up yourself all right the scub undecided and the scub indifferent are a growing
Starting point is 03:11:19 size of the silent majority and i'm wondering what this is going to look like in about four years time but for now twitch is regulating according to all the pen it depends they pass that thing in the in the states in like 10 minutes where they make streaming illegal that's happening like literally that's true too um although addendum to um the the bill being pushed by uh tom tillis in that they're saying this is mainly supposed to target uh large pirating sites and groups oh yeah i bet and not individual uh streamers and um uh huh uh huh upon reading that i was like that sounds interesting does the legislation specifically word it as such that individuals are then left alone because remember if you pay attention to the way anything's get passed over time
Starting point is 03:12:25 it's very it's very clear that in context you can say oh don't worry about what this says i'm going to infer its meaning for you and say that it doesn't mean what it says it actually is intended to be used in a reasonable way and you go oh okay there's no reason to worry then and then i die and then we move forward in time and then the wording of that thing exists and it is used in and of itself with itself as the own context so anyone who is not a major group that is an individual if the wording of the thing doesn't specify that expressly why would you trust someone telling you oh don't worry we want to use it for this even though it could be still used for the first concert right no we gotta don't tell me that like yeah don't tell me that you're putting
Starting point is 03:13:16 a loaded gun here and you're like don't worry this is only to shoot at other people who point their loaded gun at you first and you go okay but it's still a loaded gun sitting here correct and when you're not around to tell people who to use it on it will still be a loaded gun without any context sitting there for anyone to grab and shoot at anyone else yes then fuck you so uh unless it's in the language of the term and of the exact of the bill uh fuck that still iris said nothing yeah well you know other countries are gonna do what they're gonna do i'm sure i would sure like to see america man tell me that i'm gonna go jail stream the yakuza game
Starting point is 03:14:12 i can direct him to my butthole where he can direct further questions you know it's very easy to uh it's not very easy to pass law but it is very easy to uh attempt to pass law or to write a law or to write a bill or to write any form of legislature and then um upon being questioned on the contents seeming uh horrific to just explain it away with whatever hand wave you want to make the conversation stop in the moment and not actually uh foresee that yeah but nefarious types can and will use what you've been giving them to do the things that you are concerned about just because you say that i don't know if you guys know anything about nefarious types but they're fucking nefarious it's why we call them
Starting point is 03:15:14 nefarious types they'll do whatever the jerks they'll take advantage of your shit hey you sure that uh this is just about the institute of a tradition that you want to protect and it's not necessarily because you have other reasons to be concerned with other people's lives you're talking about jesus again are you sure it has nothing to do are you talking about that it has nothing to do with your own stuff it's just because you're concerned about
Starting point is 03:15:56 you're concerned about the the traditions that's the only reason why okay if you say so if you say so it has nothing to do with your own stuff and it's everything to do with the institutions of traditions then fine i'll trust you okay i'll trust you hey i have a i have a fucking controversial take for you for you people everybody ready everybody good everybody good traditions are stupid just do whatever okay but what of doing whatever includes doing those traditions yeah okay i guess all right i just like this is the way we do i did it last year is seems like really stupid reason to do something this year
Starting point is 03:16:47 yeah yeah easier said than done when you know i mean anyway whatever it's like what are you gonna fucking some people are taught to put uh what i would consider unimportant things in extremely high esteem it is what it is it's really important that your bed sheets form a square so that you can slide in like a cheese into a sandwich that's the most important thing that if you were you can do today if you were raised in a pro scub household and your grandfather's grandfather was pro scub and uh and you know he he fought hard and died my grandfather's grandfather probably fucking was pro scub he fought hard and died uh you know in the battle against those anti scubbers and you know you you go not too far further back
Starting point is 03:17:59 from that and hey listen man these anti scubbers need they're you know it's by the the conditions they've been born into are those of an uneducated mass that are lower and it's it's by our divine right that we bring them up in the world and show them the ways of of being all right you've you've completely lost in the scub analogy well the anti the anti scubbers are like animals and if we bring them into our barn and raise them up in a way that teaches them about the truth of pro scub light then they can they can be they can live better lives it's mercy you see that we bring to the equation against these anti scubbers uh the what would have what have the part of this analogy is that during the pro scub speech that you would receive as a child
Starting point is 03:18:58 i would have been like but how did they fit all the scubbibles on the scub boat all at once and they would go it was a big boat sorry it was a big scub boat and they'd be like that seems stupid did they even get the scobino source on it and they said yes and i went down i don't think that happened okay when you said the scubbibles on the scub boat are you talking about the scubbark i'm talking about no are you talking about the scubbark because there's another there's another really big boat there's a big boat with a whole lot of scub that went on it and i think the answer to that question was answered in a band tetris like steam game i see i thought you were talking about scubbistod
Starting point is 03:19:59 so you gotta understand the context requires context all right wait wait hold on would it be scaboots scoonta scente uh um i've been anti-scubbed my whole life so you say so you say no you know i've been anti you know how you i you can believe that i've been anti-scubbed forever because the instant that you see it and there's no information other than pro or anti i go oh i'm anti for sure anti-scubbed for life it is easier to be like bet scubs bad it is easier to be anti anything you don't actually have to take a stance on yeah you don't have to do it on defending i don't really like that you can just not like you can just say it's not to your taste but you can you know it's
Starting point is 03:21:08 yeah that's that's basically you want to hear something funny that i thought of that i didn't that i didn't bring up so you remember how 76 was like a bad could you have imagined that the next game in that series would have been also bad that is 77 i could they're sequential it's like poetry at rough fuck it you lost me but that's okay fall out 76 and then cyberpunk 2077 oh it's like they knew wow don't name your game after uh the future 70s yeah okay well it's like they knew anyway um mighty fight federation which is a cool uh
Starting point is 03:22:13 power stone like i'll call it um being made by some some dudes i know actually from uh toronto um orion julian dude can i take like a two minute break i'm gonna pee myself oh yeah go ahead okay that's no problem all right uh so to pick up where we left off uh there was a game that uh i took a look at not too long ago called mighty fight federation um and it is a power stone like it except it's got like a a more advanced combo system i'd say um some pretty pretty fun character ideas a nice jojo reference inside there that i like with remmy red card and uh a pretty cool like uh yeah ground bound system all in all um and i i uh i've been following this game's development over the last couple years uh orion
Starting point is 03:23:11 julian uh to cool people that are working on it and yeah it was uh kind of just coming along as like a a a power stone like game and then uh eventually they announced that uh yuka leili were in it as a guest star and then they got toe jam and earl and then as of yesterday at adrenaline they announced uh kunio and ricky from fucking river city ransom are now guest stars in it as well so uh that's an unexpected rad twist in the in the roster i have a question for you from chat which i think is appropriate what's power stone welcome to power stone was oh no because that game came out 15 years ago 2005 uh actually that doesn't i'm fudging it wait really hold on a second dreamcast dreamcast was 99999 was it five years after the dreamcast launch that doesn't seem
Starting point is 03:24:25 right that doesn't see no wait that was october that was the psp thing so it's actually way older years old yeah that's more likely yeah so american adults were born at the same time as power stone yeah power stone is uh able to drink now and uh boy should it because uh that shit's been left in the dust but you know it did get an anime that uh i don't know if many people got to watch but they there's power stone one power stone two and an anime series so that's more than other franchises get but uh yeah power stone is a four player uh in the second player in the second game two player in the first game um it's a um arena fighter and uh it is known for its uh use of like heavy items and wall bounces and um you know pretty uh nutty stages basically so imagine a game
Starting point is 03:25:37 designed around the idea of poke floats except it's like it's the point of the whole game in a way and um ur guys fits into the category of the of the same genre if you've ever played ur guys god bless the ring yeah uh so that was a yes indeed um you know what ur guys is because it has fucking cloud and sephiroth in it so yeah you mean smash brothers zero exactly before they left kingdom hearts for smash brothers they took a detour into god bless the ring ur guys yeah oh my god i want to fucking throw up at the idea of fucking when sephiroth and cloud left kingdom hearts for smash brothers they detoured an ur guys first fucking hate it i hate it everything about that phrasing makes me want to throw up well prior to
Starting point is 03:26:49 sephiroth's announcement we all thought that cloud fucking took a detour in the livestream from tactics to smash brothers before waking back up but now we know that's not what happened this wasn't a livestream dip this was kingdom hearts moment we thought it was the livestream moment because cloud alone showing up out of context is livestream dip but with sephiroth included it's got to be post kingdom hearts this is the timeline hard confirm and then over to the city of course well anyway duos that's that's pretty good duodesum still sounds like a disease dude i ever since i got that duodesum won't stop burning it's gonna get some penicillin for my
Starting point is 03:27:46 duodesum yeah you gotta you gotta rub the the the the cream in otherwise that the city is gonna keep burning for a long time right around right around the red the red part dude i went to that three on three right and i came back with the city and t and t oh my god and t full blown huh i don't want i'm gonna do stay away from me uh yeah so anyway they got kunyo and ricky in uh mighty fight federation what's interesting too is the logo shows river city ransom and then underneath it kunyo kun so it's kind of like fuck trying to make a distinguish a distinguishing uh brand at this point just throw it all together
Starting point is 03:28:51 so that everybody stops questioning what it is and they go okay yes we know what you're talking about oh i like that i got the kunyo in it i like kunyo which for is it the american river sit no it's the okay just all together yeah simplify it so that's cool uh get on them and uh i look forward to seeing how they play i hope they yell barf netflix is teasing its witcher anime adaptation so there's more witcher coming i didn't even know that hey reminder there's still a cyberpunk anime on the way yes there is by uh who not trigger not trigger someone someone cool is making it though the cyberpunk anime is being made by someone cool by trigger yes correct yeah so i have faith in trigger yeah you know and again
Starting point is 03:29:57 if the story is is uh is all right then there's no reason why that is there's no any there'd be any problem with that but yeah of course it's just not being associated with a pleasant time but yeah i still think like trigger working on a cyberpunk design thing should be fucking gorgeous no reason why not um so what's what i'm wondering though is that like does that mean that like the henry cavill witcher thing is just that's done and over with and we're going anime now or just doing two two things who you know what who knows it depends on whether or not henry's uh too busy calling in sick and playing video games like that that dude it's gotta say it's got oh it's a delayed second season because of the
Starting point is 03:30:53 because of the virus ah you don't have to delay animes because of the virus season two real humans don't even work on them is it cavill or cavill i don't know cavill okay i do it's cavill okay thank you uh that's going down then cavill is great i'm i'm upset that he's superman because i like him you would be i would be you're right patty jenkins reveals the third act for wonder woman was originally small scale but water brothers made her change it at the last minute and a lot of people are saying suddenly this is
Starting point is 03:31:49 suddenly it all makes sense not necessarily because uh i dug into that thread and there were people in there saying that they actually saw the original cut of that third act and it was not the change you think it was it was not like you know like no fight it was actually a fight versus like a cloud oh they're like through rocks and oh instead of like a big superhero battle damn it oh then why would she oh my god then that was some fucking because of the assumption you just made that was some double speak then boo on you madam boo i say that was no good patty don't do that it's possible that could have been fucking version either but that is if that's true because you're describing the galactus cloud indeed i'm also describing a tweet i saw so obviously
Starting point is 03:32:50 take a tweet i saw if what you're saying is true then that's a boo but if what you're saying is false then um all is good because i think it's it's not uh uh you know an uncommon opinion that like wonder woman was fucking fantastic through to the third act when it suddenly kind of just went against what could have been a really interesting um uh uh i guess like non turn of events you know yeah and um the weird story because like the the the the reveal being literally nothing would have actually been the most interesting thing they could have the most because she's already there right the wonder woman is already like fuck what do i do this sucks and like it's just every yeah you know and then for it to all just be personified you're like oh
Starting point is 03:33:57 that gives you an out when you could have had you could have had to fucking deal with this when there's nothing to punch you know anyway um so she the way that that interview went was she said originally she had a smaller scale uh ending written and planned and then the execs wanted it more epic battle and bombastic and again um covering all bases she said and i enjoy both she says i like both that's a lie you know but uh this time around um for 84 uh they're going to be going uh something a little bit more resembling what the original script was at the very least in terms of toning that part down which again it's it's more just like what was the story up until this point you know because there's nothing frustrating it's it's sorry after you there's
Starting point is 03:34:50 nothing wrong with having a big epic uh showdown if that's what the story has been about but if it has not and then you slide it in there as if it's from a different deck of cards then that's going to kind of be tonally dissonant and leave a a negative effect on what's otherwise a pretty fun movie you know i don't understand why people in hollywood like to do this thing where they talk like a tiny little itty bitty piece of shit but then when somebody's like what do you mean about that shit you just talked the little piece they're like oh i didn't mean to the shit talk it's like you're gonna talk shit just fucking talk what do you mean my bald forever yeah what do you mean you don't understand it's called trying to stay in the industry what i don't understand is why
Starting point is 03:35:40 talk even the little tiny piece of shit at all because you're trying if you're gonna talk shit never half-ass it just go yeah no no that's that's you dude people in hollywood what am i keeping it too real for yes you are is that why i'm never gonna get my life story timeline movie yes it is also damn it if you and the same applies to video games burn those bridges do what you gotta do light them on fire that bridge keeps me real you can't breathe you're choking you're choking in the smoke listen listen i can i can tell you that while i may have burnt a couple really big bridges i have strengthened slightly smaller bridges you have because there are some cms that really hate other cms sure sure oh boy are there oh absolutely you know that's all there but
Starting point is 03:36:44 just remember that the those those slightly strengthened bridges when the time comes for you to cross those they're not going to hold you up those bridges are going to collapse the moment you gotta step on them because they're like oh no i don't know i don't know what he's talking about i'll manage you don't have to light those smaller bridges on fire because there are there they'll piece the fuck out the moment you gotta try and walk on them i'll manage without my collector's addition that's more than fine however um you you know and you've resigned yourself to your fate the entire time like you've said you've been outside the entire time coming from you know groceries to this so it's never even been a thought but yeah i've never been in the in
Starting point is 03:37:33 the in the other side of the trench um but like as far as like questioning how and why uh these people who do this for a living want to continue keep doing it for a living so they say what they gotta say well you know uh everyone on game of thrones and everyone on star wars on and everyone on any project definitely not everyone on star wars they do their best without crossing a line and if the line does get crossed they always try to have some plausible deniability on it but the wink wink nudge nudge uh is always there unless you completely stop giving a fuck in which case fucking uh bless up to john boyega you know but but this is how you're gonna see a bunch of fucking movie uh interviews go down every single time you know i just i like the studio's choice
Starting point is 03:38:40 for that ending as well as mine but they're different the part that the part that i don't get is like why why not just like if you're gonna lie a little just lie a lot just just be like uh i say studio's so great i love the studio i say i say that if the contract stipulates that you only speak positively and they do stipulate this mind you this is not fiction this is real yeah these exist i've seen them you do like good old emilia and you give us the correct words and you the power of acting you use the power of your facial expressions to leave everyone with enough memes to carry them through the dark times so that's probably the funniest thing about the game of thrones stuff was that all of those people did have acting powers and decided
Starting point is 03:39:48 to say what they needed to say thespians none of their active power acting powers thespians they all were because when you have to take the quote and print it on the fucking blu-ray you write quote unquote best season ever emilia clark on paper okay i'ma do it and that's exactly what she said how was the final season it was the best season ever you know you say what you say and then you you just yeah you show us what you show us it's great it's great loved it um nah this was not that interesting because i was trying to dig more into it but it seems to be there's not much to say about this um koe tecmo and capcom are in legal battle over really um
Starting point is 03:40:59 um some arguing about the warrior's shit again uh yeah some uh uh senkoku basara um yeah there it is yeah and uh some game related patents owned that were filed in 2014 um yeah so this this is something from last year and then it seems to be moving along but um they should reverse sue them for that fucking uh tokeiden kawami monster how to rip off i mean capcom didn't sue for the many street fighter clones that came out but didn't they try to they did that's not true they did they sued not everyone they didn't sue s and k they try they tried to sue um one game that came out what was it maybe super fighter i think it was super fighter this one where the sprites were literally traced in some cases
Starting point is 03:42:03 and they actually took them to court because they're like fuck you you actually just went over our sprites um i want to say they they did attempt it yeah but like at that point like the fucking genre existed and it was a fighter's history excuse me fighter's history it was it was just uh yeah at that point it was just too fucking late you know um street fighter two was too good uh i should i should um clarify somebody said pat you were literally happed up for tokeiden two are you gonna pretend you hate the series now no absolutely not i actually like tokeiden two quite a bit but in an interview with uh uh somebody from the i believe it's Japanese media where they asked like do you think this game is too derivative of monster hunter uh one of the
Starting point is 03:42:55 leads responded with do you think capcom felt that way when they made singoku basara um because it was the warrior's team that was working on tokeiden kuami so if if tech well koei is gonna fuck with capcom over singoku basara then i feel like capcom should absolutely fuck back with them over their monster hunter ripoff series that seems very fair yeah the modern version of these character of these companies is absolutely like about getting that cash money in genres that get that like are six successful uh you know if there's a particular style of game that no one else is competing in uh capcom is gonna try something in that space at some point whether or not it ever comes out is another thing but operation raccoon city does exist
Starting point is 03:43:52 you know i can't get that game to boot nice i plan to like fuck around with it well at one point with uh you know like on stream at some point at the end of my reasonable thing couldn't get it to fucking boot don't know why didn't feel like workshopping it too hard and then there's deep down and then there's deep down hey can you think we could ask yoshinori ono how deep down is doing now no oh why because he signed post nda's after he left oh he left right shame yeah you can't do when someone leaves that doesn't give them no it was it was just a ploy to get you to say because he's not there anymore oh so so that i could go shame oh no
Starting point is 03:44:55 uh yeah and then last one's a little little cool one over here but um little side story there is a product that uh someone made as a proof of concept that's being shown off this is really cool actually it's basically a gameboy that uses uh solar power and the button presses that you input to power the console itself theoretically making it last indefinitely with no charge required whatsoever outside of those things tie forever um it's pretty cool it can play gameboy games and uh it uses the yeah the the input like the the magnetic inputs that you press charge the actual battery alongside the solar panels on it and it's again gameboy sized um now unfortunately the name of the console is the engage and that is that is an unfortunate title for this console
Starting point is 03:46:07 this is gameboy uh a proof of concept it's called the engage i don't wanna well that's too bad and you know like the the individual who made this might not have known or have been aware about the history of that that console title um and uh god bless but that's what it's called you know i mean it was between that and uh the phantom i believe and then they so they settled for the engage uh but still the all-time best we talked about like two three weeks ago it's it'll never be taught in finnium labs baby get that tattooed but the um the the main point is that's kind of like a um it's a a proof of concept and it's also meant to use to demonstrate um the the way technology can change with climate change and uh like
Starting point is 03:47:09 different approaches to uh what will eventually become like you know lithium ion disposal issues in the in the future um but like just as an idea uh that is a pretty fucking brilliant one that makes a lot of sense where it's just like if you have tactile feedback you have something that's generating work and if you have something that's generating work then you can store energy uh it also has a type of um VRAM that uh when it runs out of energy uh it powers down and then makes a save state of the of whatever the game was doing the moment it's saved and it's stored magnetically as well so um it's a maintained charge and then when you resume it resumes from wherever you were because again that status is charged it's saved in the
Starting point is 03:48:10 charge so it's a it's a pretty fucking cool idea and i would love to see that implemented in other ways in in life like that that's a really rad thing i'm super fascinated personally by uh batteryless technology i love like flashlights thing they gotta do that make you win prizes while playing sure uh i i think i love flashlights that that you can uh shake to power them up i love uh radios that you wind up to go like stuff like that is really really interesting to me and uh yeah in this case it's uh just an experimental gameboy product but uh it'd be dope to see this implemented in other things it's called the engage unfortunately unfortunately is it spelled with an e it's spelled with an e
Starting point is 03:49:02 okay cool fucking thank you or take some letters hey oh if you want to send in a letter to this podcast uh get your email thing out and type it in to castle super beast mail at gmail.com that's castle super beast mail at gmail.com we got one coming in from dick what's up richard says hey shill gods uh there's a moment in my childhood i still think about to this day when i was about seven or eight my cousin came up with me uh and said to my mom that i was finally old enough to play conquerors bad fur day a request i had not even made mind you while i love the game i remember getting to the part with the zombie squirrels and immediately
Starting point is 03:50:01 turning the game off out of sheer terror not wanting to touch it for months out of fear of playing that part what were some games that other media were shown to you in other media that were shown to you that was way too early for your own good shout out to my friend who watched uh meet the feebles at that same age probably shouldn't have played resident evil 2 when i was 11 but at the same time it was fucking cool probably shouldn't have watched clockwork orange uh as a kid in my living room as as my mom walked back and forth doing house stuff that's weird yeah that's like that's a weird one yeah i was way too young for it and i just i think i just rented it or borrowed it from a friend i forget
Starting point is 03:50:57 how i got it but i just watched it in the living room in a broad daylight and uh you know some for the most part like most of the movie is you know not showing you a wild shit so i think in the end it was okay but conceptually i was definitely too young for that i've talked about that before yeah that's that's yeah i don't know how to top that that's bizarre there is um my i would also around even younger than that i was uh in the room watching the exorcists with my cousins and my brother uh got super scared and ran out of the room because you know the devil um yeah the devil yeah and i i stayed and i remember get it feeling all like proud because like that was the one time or one of the few times i got to feel bigger than my older brother
Starting point is 03:52:00 because i was getting props for staying in the room while everybody else uh was laughing at him for running out and remember like we thought that those that movie was literally summoning the devil into the actors like you know because there's no way you can play around with satan and not actually be like calling satan so they filmed it and its actors playing a movie role but the devil is not playing around and he's going to absolutely take advantage of those devil would like stop for takes and well when you when you call him he appears right no is that a thing yeah i don't even know yeah when you call him he appears and ultimately anything that is bereft of god is by de facto full of sin
Starting point is 03:53:05 okay sure uh-huh so um yeah that's the only two that i can think of i'm pretty sure i watched robocop when i was like seven or something hmm i'm getting a vision too i watched a lot of i caught up on a lot of like zombie movies and like romero stuff and like evil dad and shit like way later um in my life like you know when i had like friends that were like showing me stuff um movies and everything but i do remember um um someone was watching or maybe it was on it must have been on i think it was on late night tv on
Starting point is 03:53:54 like one of those um extra channels but i think it was uh night of the living dead three god this is i've never this i'm pulling back a super specific memory of like the tv in the living room when i was a kid and it was the one where um there's a girl that becomes half zombie no that's not night of the living dead three that's return of the living dead three thank you right return of the living dead zombies go brains and shit return of the living dead one was brains brains right yeah and uh and naked girl on the tombstone on the in the graveyard yeah yeah absolutely okay so that i watched comes like uh like a punk bdsm check so that she can stop the brain hunger in three yeah but in one it was another naked girl just dancing on on the
Starting point is 03:54:53 on the grave it just happened to be yeah there those movies are trash yeah that's why they're they're that's why there's some of the januity they're they're also the most powerful unstoppable zombies because there's no room in hell i remember that um so i watched one as an adult like years later or whatever but i saw three on tv like when i was younger and again it but it wasn't really censored and stuff and i'm remembering when she's like pulling pins through her skin yeah and i think she like stabs herself like through the nipple and like some other areas of her body with like big that that movie's fucking with big sharp nails and shit gnarly yeah so i i just distinctly being really young seeing this girl like stabbing herself with
Starting point is 03:55:45 these pins and stuff and i was like what the fuck yeah that that movie's brutal it's a guy who's like whole spine gets sub-zeroed out i was definitely i was definitely uh that's the only memory i have of that entire movie because that fucking stuck you know was like yeah whoa she's wearing some crazy btsm outfit and nailing herself up um but then all the rest i saw at an appropriate time and it was fine um so that's that's those movies are fucking those those are trash i love those movies yeah so that's three then yeah two is the one where they all get blown up by the electrical station i don't think i've ever seen two i've seen one and i saw fucking trash i love it you watch them you get to see a lot of video game shit in them i remember
Starting point is 03:56:41 that the actual brains guy was way scarier looking and creepier and oh the tarman oh he's fucking he's super scary compared to normal zombies regular zombies oh yeah didn't have shit on that guy who in my brain was kind of what nemesis is you know like you just look like a different kind of monster and what the fuck you're talking and crawling with your limbs and if i cut you to pieces he's got all that spindly like like tarred up cloth coming up and he's like skeleton exactly like and the actor does a really good job like just all over he's yeah he's super fun smart hungry zombies but then again that's that movie has a part where the zombies are eating ambulance workers and pick up the radio and say send more
Starting point is 03:57:33 cops yes yes yes yes yes right i remember that those movies were not meant to be scary which is weird because tarman is fucking horrifying it's the scariest those movies ever get that also like do is do is that what punk kids really do do they go to graveyards and get naked and dance on graves i don't know 1980 whatever the fuck who knows what the punk kids did well gg allen has a few answers for you anyway no we gotta stop bringing up gg allen never stop bringing up gg allen let's get a curse us dude until it's done until they all know until everyone knows
Starting point is 03:58:24 uh thank you we got one coming in uh from lesser pat oh no says hey superior woolly and better pat years ago i was contemplating naruto online a shonen fan i was as a shonen fan would do my critique was challenged when i said i had read about 70 percent of it years ago and i dropped it i told my parents excuse me i told let's try this again my critique was challenged when i said i had read about 70 percent of it years ago and dropped it i was told my points were worthless because i didn't read to the end okay you didn't specify who you were talking to when i got confused uh so through the spite and anger i just read about a hundred chapters in a day finished the whole series in a week and after consuming that original
Starting point is 03:59:20 work realized it wasn't as bad as i thought i gained a much better appreciation for most of the pre-shippuden stuff and i still hate all the shippuden and b and shikamaru stuff whatever um have you ever done something out of spite on an anger but it ended up being a mostly positive experience i really like all star superman all the people who told me to read that series of comics uh were correct the all star superman is a really enjoyable read but it did nothing to change my opinion about superman i'm glad you enjoyed the comic i'll take it um i used to think yeah i used to think that souls games were everquest i was happily i still don't get where that came from because it's simple dude knights
Starting point is 04:00:07 in generic knight armor and dragons in generic dragon looking ways that i saw screenshots of in really vague non-paying attention ways came across as that reboot episode where they play the dungeons dragons and awards from our sponsors it just came across as the same looking 3d generic fiction thing that's it shiny knight armor sword shield big red dragon looking normal default dragon that's exactly the answer big silence but what i understand now okay like it's here's how here's how okay so it's the three same elements seen out of context and of course i know that's dumb i didn't know better but i just saw the three elements and kind of didn't realize the uniqueness uh that the game actually held
Starting point is 04:01:15 beyond that really uh uninformed glance of let me get let me get this straight i just want to i just want to break down what happened here so you saw a couple screenshots look kind of generic right i can think of a couple like that were popular around the time like uh the night looking at the hell kite drake or whatever and you went i know what this is it must be like reboot no and you went reboot and then you just said reboot about 10 more times no i i only brought that up because that's the most generic example of like the everquest looking fantasy stuff that i didn't like at the time and because i made the comparison to everquest and it didn't land because we're still talking about it i decided to bring in a second point of reference for generic fantasy
Starting point is 04:02:04 because the everquest comparison was supposed to work but i don't think it did and if reboot didn't work then i was going to go to a third generic fantasy place i don't know yet i haven't yet thought of it but and then when somebody said did you even play everquest you went no it's like reboot right so i wouldn't even say lord of the rings because that's like there are things in that that i that i can specify that anyway that the point is is like i'm trying to think of an example of like uh post-holken super boring not original at all fantasy setting you know um story in lands because that all the art on those books looked about just as generic as anything in dark souls ever showed ever i didn't really know of dragon lands well i didn't i can
Starting point is 04:03:01 say this i didn't know a whole lot about the concept of mages and and and uh spell swords as a thing at the time and these dnd classifications for sure uh but i wasn't i was ignorant about a lot of things but what i'm talking about you see is what i'm talking about is a big green dragon that looks like a normal dragon a big red dragon that looks like a normal dragon uh a knight in silver metallic armor with a sword and a shield walking around fighting those things you know to save a princess of sorts like the most reductionist thing did you pick up the original legend of huma by richard a knack richard a knack i saw the the you saw the dragon on the on the cover lancing the other dragon and you went it's just like that reboot episode nope i picked up legend of huma uh by richard a
Starting point is 04:04:01 knack because i was already invested in the huma storyline as he was the badass from the past and most stories that feature a badass from the past are things i want to find out about in this case post dragon lance uh season's era i'm like well what about the guy that everyone talks about is the hero of of yore and then they said we're going to tell you that story and i went cool now i get to find out also their books it's not the same as uh as i'm come i'm really talking about the visuals in a way i'm not i'm not even discussing the elements of looking i am looking at the visuals of dragons of autumn twilight and it's right right up just looks like that reboot episode but what i'm saying is in order for it to turn me off in the exact same way we're talking about
Starting point is 04:04:49 like uh again just that that false impression initially whereas with dragon lance i was brought in by a friend who you know one gave context and two i read one of them and then i liked it that and then kept going into the series after that so at that point i was already in you know so dragon lance is a poor comparison that makes no relevant point to what what you're saying here but yeah um in fact there is no comparison the point is really just i thought it was generic fantasy the fact that i have to make any comparison whatsoever is again just to help the clarity of getting the point across but you know i don't know what what would be a third example i'm actually having a trouble coming up with the third example myself yeah i'm sure there's
Starting point is 04:05:39 something out there maybe an episode of everquest is is honestly like the perfect like comparison point because like ever quest art style was like a non art style it was so fucking bland and then warcraft has like a lot more going on well yeah i mean i didn't know much about warcraft but i saw that there were like monsters that looked like there's orcs which i remember like you know i also was not familiar with like the the or the the original sort of stuff but i was kind of like okay looking at it going like they did their thing with it again it's it's a reductionist version of of token uh stuff ideas that um you know it's like whatever would land in your like kind of storybook version of these characters you know and uh yeah anyway i think
Starting point is 04:06:29 i've explained enough i think you get it and i think i've i've explained through your bits to sufficiently you know what i stifled that you know what i get so i'll tell you i get reboot that's good i think that's the only one that actually lands for me that's the closest thing to answering the question um for you you said uh i'll start superman okay oh yeah i didn't read hunter hunter guys i watched it that's good uh jason says last podcast you talked about what yak is a game you should start with i was going to bring a counter argument and say start with tekeshi's challenge for the nest you might think it's a crappy nest game but hear me out it was one of the first games where you
Starting point is 04:07:28 explore around japan and beat up yak is a members go to bars sing karaoke play pachinko yeah the game story is about quitting your job divorcing your wife losing at pachinko getting a map and the worst treasure to find the worst treasure as ever but this is all before gta shenmu and yak is a did it also tekeshi katano is the villain of yak is a six so therefore i consider tekeshi's challenge a part of the yak is a universe also name a better restaurant than grilled Mormons i mean he tekeshi is totally in yakuza six that is real and he still hates video games right he still hates video he looks like he hates video games in that in that game it's good
Starting point is 04:08:22 uh that's uh all right bro i don't know how to follow off of that other than that that game was made to like punish you for playing video games it's it's the most spiteful fucking thing ever okay let's see here uh joe says dare woolly hunter and ginger palico since we've gotten a big wave of monster hunter movie content want to know what you think of uh hollywood and it's making movies based on existing franchises more casual uh what movie comes out based on a book uh seems it seems pretty
Starting point is 04:09:21 easy when a movie comes out based on a book it seems pretty easy to adapt since you basically have a script but with a video game and 15 plus years uh does it seem like it's a detriment to condense that into a 90 minute popcorn movie a lot of people complained about the bad lore in the monster hunter movie but i think exposition that monster hunter fans want would bore the average moviegoer who just want to see big monsters fight so my question is uh do you think game fans got everything they wanted do you think if game fans got everything they wanted in an adaptation for film uh that it would be a financial failure to the general market i think that is a terrible example because one of the reasons why people don't like the lore in
Starting point is 04:10:04 the monster hunter movie is because hey woolly did you play monster hunter world yes you did remember the beginning of that game where they're like uh monsters have a great hit no they were like oh that's a big monster you should find it it's gonna damage the ecosystem yeah i think a best case scenario is for a movie to i think the best case scenario is for something like mortal combat one where there's nothing to really be talk about to begin with and it's fine and in the end you walk away from death tournaments worlds that's that was that was dumb and it was fun and guess what the game had nothing to really get upset about so that's all that that all works out and check out this cool music you know
Starting point is 04:10:56 i think if your game does have a lot of lore that would be poorly handled in the adaptation fortunately we now have other answers such as the netflix adaptation castlevania wonderful short faithful and great and fun to watch uh and i and i say this as an outsider right um i think that you have answers that don't just have to be like turn it into a complete non-recognizable version of itself for popcorn munching i think that video games and movies have had the shittiest relationship between two forms of media ever and i would not bet an eyelash at no more video game movies why is everyone putting faithful movie video games sorry why is everyone putting faithful in quotes does castlevania go way off the deep end compared to the original game story
Starting point is 04:11:55 oh yeah totally yeah i didn't know that okay i'm sorry my mistake yeah that that the second season is like kind of there and that third season is like we want another season let's just make up a bunch of shit okay all right got it i i i'm going that shit i i watched uh i watched seasons one and two and uh so that some of that shit's okay what i was spacing it on because like yeah alcard would be a bottom but at the on the other hand some of that stuff is like all right well um we'll see how how how uh what is it to this dragon's dogma there is uh we just big of a mark is you'll find for dragon's dogma and really who gives a shit we just talked about cyberpunk we just talked about witcher anime there's the henry
Starting point is 04:12:51 cavill show which i hear a cavill show excuse me which i hear uh was pretty good people liked it it's getting another season it's fine i stopped halfway through i wasn't enjoying it that much but i guess it was fine and again it's it doesn't and then yes it's a book more than it is the game but then again they also are using the garalt uh the gerry of our do the books describe him looking the exact same way is that uh oh yeah he's he's got like photos so either there's art of okay well never mind then all right forget you know what he looks like never mind then um yeah live the the armor look that he has in the show is absolutely based off the game like witcher three stuff well um i guess what i'm getting at though is that like a short mini series that like can give
Starting point is 04:13:42 more accurate uh adaptation a more accurate adaptation of a story um that's more faithful that would you know leave the fans pleased is a nice alternate avenue to a shitty popcorn muncher that has nothing to do with anything you know monster hunter is really frustrating because like there's a plot you could have totally done in monster hunter four that would have translated really well and didn't have a isekai element but they always get funds from the us army to make those movies so it had to be an isekai so they could put the us army in it um and i'd also say that like as a you know as i've been saying more recently i don't think the movie adaptation is the end all be all anyways you know i really don't i've i've come to realize
Starting point is 04:14:36 that i've spent too long in my life thinking about the silver screen uh as a you know a destination for all other inferior mediums and uh that was a stupid way to look at it and that mediums can be their own thing and surpass other things and they don't need they don't owe anything to movies you know the fuck that movies can die like they just did tv's can die like they just did like mediums can come and go appreciate what is as it masters its own space you know like i i feel like kajima is the only game developer i can think of that's like i fucking love movies but let's make a video game that i respect in terms of that um everybody else who is like dude we're like making a movie bro is like made trash and oh i can't wait for my game to become a movie got trash
Starting point is 04:15:41 like anything that is um made more digestible due to a shorter time commitment to complete it is going to appeal to a wider audience so as long as movies only ask you for one afternoon there will always be a larger group of people that you're reaching like if you want to compare but that's it like long form narrative like oh yeah no you can totally do a long form narrative in a game like i would compare one yakuza game to like four or five seasons of a tv show rather than a film yeah okay yeah arcs and you know i just when i hear conversations like oh man like who should they cast for a god of war movie and it's like shut up well that's not even that's not even fair because the judge is a great
Starting point is 04:16:40 actor and yeah a great kratos but you know whatever he's got to look the part and do the thing you know but he does look the part okay but that's the point is not that the point is that dude's huge your that's that's not my point my point is shut up yeah yeah the game did fine it told its story effectively we got out of there we we and and and you know dad of boy did what he did atreus was there he was cool everything was good the story conveyed what it needed to fuck off what movie shut up go play it it's fine you don't need that means nothing every other version of that discussion just for what so you can make a worse version of what you just played hey you know what you want to hear a great succinct breakdown of this exact
Starting point is 04:17:41 problem also yeah that's what i was wondering dude he's black like sile hell one what are you talking about he looks like a great game kratos is very dark skin before he gets the ashes yeah but he's not like black dark skinned no but he's he's like like kind of bronze like olive skinned and then he gets the ashes so it's like yeah i'm not a historical expert in terms of whether or not there are black Greeks but i mean he's gonna be in the ashes anyway he's he's about as dark as you get being greek i just want to see chris judgment rolls dude well okay anyway great example of this is they make a silent hill movie right silent hill movie is cool from like a cinematography perspective i guess but there's some fucking horrible problems
Starting point is 04:18:46 and right away it gets really weird where they wanted to tell the silent hill one story line almost exactly but they changed harry mason into a female character named sharon because the director christoph guns was like harry's kind of a a feminine man he's really scared of all the monsters and he's like yelling and he's like terrified the whole movie that just doesn't seem like the a good role for a male character so let's make it the mom and it's like okay seriously oh yeah oh yeah if that shit is quoted oof i'll go fucking find it for you now
Starting point is 04:19:49 i want to watch a movie about all the worst decisions execs and producers make in these moments that lead to everyone just deadpan staring but then they have to go with it anyway in the vein of the giant spider in wild wild west i want i want i want a collection of those moments you just want more of those uh those kevin smith stories all of them i just want every fucking director's horror story about one time i was pitching a movie and it had a script and then the director got it and he said this is cool but this sucks take this out and it's like oh you mean the more the most important thing in the messaging of the movie or the crux of the plot or the main reason why this is interesting
Starting point is 04:20:39 to follow this kind of person yeah cool got it no problem let's just do that here we go right off the right off the silent hill wiki christoph gans the director of the silent health film felt that harry was more feminine than masculine in nature leading to his role being replaced with a woman named rose de silva for the movie instead christoph felt that harry fainting talking to himself and being vulnerable wasn't very masculine in addition christoph wanted the film seemed to focus on different forms of motherhood an idea that would have been difficult to achieve with a male protagonist there you go you like you know you like you like i'm sure like you might have some sort of idea in your
Starting point is 04:21:26 head about them being like oh yeah this is the journey of the character and this is what and then in real life it's just like what's this kind of fucking pansy who's this is yango following all kind of fucking this bitch what kind of man would talk to himself yeah yeah um i was is it gay to talk to yourself while being scared of literal monsters fellas is it gay to tell your girlfriend you love them apparently so the gayest um i would like that collection the best one of those as well as is it gay to eat food right right which that's the best one which dude like i don't know if you know about this i'm gonna guess not because your dna has not unlocked today
Starting point is 04:22:29 it's true it's still locked but among those who have unlocked superpowers on this day the 21st of december there is a thing about eating bananas or hot dogs around other people i know about this and it's like it's just some people are so fucking weird about their shit some people are so insecure that you like if you are eating a hot dog or a banana or anything remotely phallic around other people it's like yo what's that about it's about your deep fears you fucking psycho you crazy person penis obviously what other reason could i have to eat this banana hot dog combo one than the other it's not about this deliciousness it's about you and whatever you
