Starting point is 00:00:00 Regardless of where you need... ...In woodblocks. Customize your place from clicks and play Just so you know, there's a different idea On Google Play So, uh, perfect Monday recording timing Uh, kind of astonishing, really, hot, hot, it's piping hot off the presses 45 minutes ago
Starting point is 00:00:52 Elden Ring leaks dropping onto Twitter Verified by people, but some people are questioning it But then I saw it was verified by, like, two people So, I guess it's real? I'm gonna use my... I'm gonna use my Photoshop eyes Despite not being able to use Photoshop's I'm gonna use my Photoshop eyes and I will say
Starting point is 00:01:21 That looks pretty real VoiceOver said that, hey bro, you sure you wanna look for the Elden Ring? So I'm like, yeah, okay, I guess I believe that Yeah You didn't hire... If leakers start hiring people on Cameo Oh man Then we're in trouble
Starting point is 00:01:42 That's the real problem Well actually, you know what it'd be, like, say you're like, you know, John Leguizamo, whoever, right? And somebody's like, hey, can you read this? And he's like, this looks like a trailer line for something that doesn't exist Mmm I mean, you say that, but also this week was You got all the recessive genes, Snake! I mean, that's true
Starting point is 00:02:07 So Gilbert Godfried was absolutely dropped into Liquid Snake's role through Cameo You never know what's possible If Smash Bros. guy, announcer guy, starts doing those, fuck Dante! Gino! I, that's, so he, he is a voice actor who does a bunch of other stuff So that is possible That's upsetting
Starting point is 00:02:33 Look, I hacked it out of the files and it's totally the smash announcer going Dante wins the pizza or, you know, whatever Yeah So yeah, straight up, like 45 minutes ago, right before we started the podcast Just log on to Twitter and I saw super butter buns going Should I look at that Elden Ring, Elden Ring leak shit? And I went, whaaat? A bunch of people talking about it
Starting point is 00:03:00 Uh, recorded on a Nokia handset Nothing Being strained through a coffee grinder Deep-fried With a baby in the background Deep-fried meme quality Yeah, with, with like, it's, it's not, I don't think, I've talked about it before, Willie Recorded by Hypercam
Starting point is 00:03:24 I don't remember if you were into the Halo at the time But the Halo 3 barn leak is the all-time greatest Halo 3 barn leak is all-time greatest I, I, I always give love to the DMC 5 reflection guy Oh man Barn leak was pretty strong because that was like For absolute security But I still, there is a part of me that still has nostalgia for
Starting point is 00:03:54 Arcade cabinet fighting game shit footage Over the shoulder of a bunch of people doing a location test in Japan Where it's like, oh fuck, the newest KOF or the newest anything just dropped And you just see a bunch of shit matches With like, shaky, bullshit can't, and you're like, you're trying to squint at the sprites But it was exciting because you're like, okay, something's coming this way and it's gonna look great What I, you know what? Oh man, do you remember the Street Fighter 4 test where they were like, had dudes around that To stop you from recording it, so every piece of footage that came out of that location test was like sideways
Starting point is 00:04:35 Like from some dude's pocket underneath the screen Look like complete garbage And if not for those fucking garbage phone angles, we would have no proof that Capcom Fighting all stars ever existed The 3d one Right, there's the old that's the only existing proof of that game We have a couple of renders and we have those those static screenshots, but that footage Is is what shows us that they tried to do fatalities
Starting point is 00:05:04 In a Capcom fighting game one time You know, I don't remember if you Saw these ones, but I remember watching Because I I'll get I'll watch any leak I can get my hands on particularly if they're like behind closed doors demos And one of the one of the little Like cherries on top of watching the leak that's just extra delicious is when it the guy starts the recording super early And it includes the person demoing the thing going don't record this. Yeah, put your phone away You're under like, you know, if you get caught you legal action
Starting point is 00:05:40 Put your phones away and you see like the camera kind of shifts a little bit as they like kind of Hide it under their elbow or some shit And it's it's just like oh you fucking asshole. Oh my god Like there's the moment where you almost expect the person demoing it to like look straight at the camera Yeah, but no the that person just doesn't give a fuck they Clout is more important than anything else and they've made their decision. So they'll sleep in the well I have I wish the best of luck to Mr. Mrs. Elden ring leaker because
Starting point is 00:06:13 The most prominent thing about the elden ring leak trailer is not any of the footage It's not the quality of the footage It's not that it's a year old build or any of the features in the game It's the fact that it is The only trailer I have ever seen in my life that is plastered with the brand Confidential on every inch of the screen. There is that now it is like
Starting point is 00:06:43 Dramatically plastered all over it. Do not leak this Now now was the original account that leaked this named rr marty boy 420 The the first place that I saw it come up. Okay, uh, uh, uh elden ring website YouTube page called elden ring news that was like counting down like 800 days of no news on elden ring. Okay
Starting point is 00:07:12 um and shit like that Just Georgie George 2021 underscore But no, oh, there's more. There's more. I'm literally watching more right now. There's more dropping. Oh my god. Okay. Well, then yeah, all right So here's the thing
Starting point is 00:07:30 So the so the takeaway that I can gather Is you can ride a horse and you see some horse combat. That's the most notable Thing of the trail. Yeah the The takeaway is that what I had heard a long time ago As to what the hell this game is Is it's dark souls, but open world. Okay. Yeah, it's very big I'm looking at the the second group of footage the second part of footage now. Yeah, so
Starting point is 00:07:59 um, the first 30 seconds in that first teaser Is like there's some stuff that looks pretty like not Not current gen I should say um, yeah that skeleton shot And then there's a rolling
Starting point is 00:08:17 Uh, uh, there's a moment of a couple moments of combat that I'm like, okay. This is super blurred ass footage So it's hard to tell but it doesn't look like it's like going for um Anything super far beyond what we've already seen in dark souls In terms of like just model and world asset quality um the There's the moment where you see rolling from dragonfire while
Starting point is 00:08:44 um What should we call it the the tracking soul Spelled uh things are around Homing soul crystal. Yes, and homing soul mass Or and then you kind of like you're like, okay. That is a staple. That's still there Uh, you see a side roll. You see a parry a riposte. You see a backstab So it's like yep, they're making sure that you see that all the staples are still there. Um
Starting point is 00:09:13 I guess Maybe I'm just like also thinking of how much Blue point demon souls I've been staring at recently, but that thing is really Really gorgeous and my brain is currently putting that as What you know as as what I kind of hope to see the the the new series come out an approach And uh, it's definitely not there
Starting point is 00:09:43 Sorry about that. I just have to wash my hands. It's not a problem. I'll keep stalling for time P on his dick the environments Show you I see we see some giants that look like the old rotted tree giants of The dark souls ish world Although they also might be a little bit of like old one branch had things sticking off of them Uh, dude's got a nice curved sword and shield for a moment. So sabers are you know doing what they do A lot of familiarity remember a lot of familiarity Do you remember when we were talking about the
Starting point is 00:10:18 Uh demon souls remake and I was talking about the animation Oh man, the the shaky cam on the on the stabs and stuff like that. Oh man, they're so incredible And we started to laugh like almost like fearfully about like But what if what if the next game by from soft Still looks jank like they always do. Uh-huh. Uh-huh Uh-oh. Yeah Okay, so there's something that uh blue point Has has really made uh obvious. I think
Starting point is 00:10:51 Is when you go back to original from soft, uh, uh stuff particularly I I mean not as much bloodborn, but particularly like that's uh, sorry, uh Dark souls one and two. There's a lot of like bright searing orange Yeah, a lot orange is a real favorite Um And to the point where like some areas are like visually painful
Starting point is 00:11:23 Mm-hmm Like like isolith is out of control that original right right, right, right? And and so I kind of like I kind of forgot that because blue point muted a bunch of that And kind of had a lot of like, you know graze and and and Cool tones and all sorts of things in those environments and looking back at this this blurry trailer I'm like, oh, there's that from soft orange
Starting point is 00:11:53 So forgot about that. I have a I have a trailer that you should look at For context because it's been a long time since you watched it now You don't have to watch the whole thing. I'm just sending it to you so you can skim it for like two seconds and that's we got a A while So from soft leaks like a sieve, right? This is three games in a row That their shit got leaked out So the first one was Bloodborne and we had the project beasts trailer
Starting point is 00:12:24 Now I don't know how long I don't know how long it's been since you watched that trailer I went and found it a couple minutes ago. Dude that trailer looks like shit Does it like it? Oh, yeah, look at it. It looks like shit I literally did forget second. Okay. That's because that is the comparison Bloodborne to project beasts Is is is a good way to project beast was a like year old build When it leaked right The build that we're looking at for Elden Ring right now
Starting point is 00:13:00 Is supposedly A year old Um I have uh a suspicion Let's call it a suspicion That uh, covet slowed this project down And that's why it's been so long since Since we've seen it
Starting point is 00:13:32 But right okay, so I mean the most notable thing about project beast going back was like frame rate but I mean It it it yeah, it definitely tightened up From this to the to the final release Uh, but like I would say that like it's not such a Like insane jump That yeah, we can expect Elden Ring to come out and like, you know Suddenly be like
Starting point is 00:14:04 Blowing us away visually. I think you're kind of gonna get from soft doing the fangs And occasional moments of like super beauty, you know, what I expect to happen is what happened with Witcher 2 um And Witcher 3 Basically Witcher 2 and 3 like Witcher 3 has like nicer character models than Witcher 2 But it's not like night and day, right? The the biggest difference between Witcher 1, sorry, Witcher 2 and 3 is that you're like, wow, this this area looks really nice And then you would like walk through it and then you would hit a load screen and it would be like a contained area
Starting point is 00:14:43 And then in Witcher 3 it'd be like, oh this area looks really nice And then if you chose to walk you would walk for 10 kilometers That's that's kind of what I expect out of of uh of an Elden Ring. I expect Sekiro But the map Just goes right instead of having impassable cliffs everywhere Sekiro is their more is their most, you know Uh, uh, yeah recent like example of where they're at tech wise and Elden Ring is built On last gen, you know, it's it's been coming for a while. Um, so I don't think that's true Really? I think it's been the next gen game the whole time has it been? Oh, if that's the case then
Starting point is 00:15:26 I was well, then I get then I guess we can take away that that extra little benefit then Because I was basically trying to you know Oh, no, wait. Oh, you're saying I'm looking at platforms. This is ps4 and xbox one. Okay. Well, there you go Yeah um So I I I guess it's uh, it's you know, we just we live in we live in a world where the uh the The demon souls remake is is right here. So the comparison is just right on the top of my brain and um,
Starting point is 00:16:01 I think you know That you still are gonna have probably moments in areas that are like Um That are gonna out do anything we saw there for example Irithyll as You know can is like better than is more gorgeous than anything in that entire remake. Um Yeah, that's why we use a little Animated unbelievable version of it for our goddamn podcast. Yeah, and you know anor Londo same same energy, right? Like just unbelievable really really just you know firing on all cylinders there. Um
Starting point is 00:16:34 And kanehurst I feel I feel similarly about you know, there's some incredible moments that are like uh peak but Uh, yeah, we have to see some some close-up footage of that But like I think we're gonna otherwise get something that looks like it's gonna Um At the very least if that trailer is last gen then it'll look like it's like well, that's about where last gen ended you know, um and
Starting point is 00:17:02 If we get A next gen trailer that like I don't know is somewhat upraised. It'll just be a better crisper version of those assets Currently at better frame rates, but any trailer would be upraised. Mm-hmm. Because this footage is fucked This is a fucking footage now all that aside about the aesthetics because you know from soft, right? Um Yeah gameplay wise we can see that It's the soul's game. It's a soul's game They're not even it's literally exactly what we all thought it was they're not even gonna like hint at like
Starting point is 00:17:43 No, we're going to look it's like no, it's a soul's game, bro. You're at a horse and there's horse combat now So we'll see how elaborate that can get You know, but you see familiar spells familiar weapons and familiar mechanics. So That's that's about right. It's it's kind of wild because you described like Uh, you describe like hitting all those bullet points There's a boss that jumps straight up in the air and slams a sword on the ground and creates a giant dust explosion And the character like kind of moves to the left out of it. You see homing crystal soul mass and you see a variation of the fucking Farron soul blade thing from dark souls 3
Starting point is 00:18:26 Do you see like the the the the buckler scimitar combo that a lot of the starting classes start with Uh, the one Big new one that wasn't the horse Was sneaking Sneaking. Yes, true crouching and slowly walking up behind something. I did see that but Um, yeah, I mean they're making what they were hired to make You know like George R. R. Martin is going to write the story and otherwise this is This is this is what it is. It's it's what to be it's what's to be expected here
Starting point is 00:19:01 Um, it's it's We're getting closer every every game is getting closer to berserk. Have you noticed it? Maybe exception of Sekiro. I mean, maybe We're seeing look again the giants are they look like the same giants from fucking that world as I mentioned There's that mage looking character hanging out in what looks like majula because of how fucking orange it is Oh, it's It's it's that oh that so they go they run that gamut from like light orange, which is almost yellow all the way to like Crispy burnt orange
Starting point is 00:19:42 It's a really good color to make things pop especially if you have a sky Right because the sky will create a complementary color to your orange Um, that reminds me this is casting a blue spell Do you know why? Uh, uh, do you know why crash bandicoots orange? Why? Because because the ps1 displays orange particularly well. Oh, it's great. Love that Love those stories about like why did this mascot turn out to be this way technical let the limitations or reasons mega man Sonic barry all that shit where it's just like yep, we went for that to display this at the best thing
Starting point is 00:20:22 That's that's always the good reason for it. Um I I uh I'm looking here. I see yeah, it looks like a giant um There's well actually no there's there's so there's two dragons here There's a giant like a whirlwind looking thing Ah Yeah, uh
Starting point is 00:20:45 Hey guys There's a dragon. I Hope this is dragon. I hope how long do you think it's gonna be before this fucking website gets sorry this youtube channel gets killed Uh, if it gets killed, that's an ultimate sign of super super sure confirmation. It's real real real Undoubtedly real, but like then again like I that'd be too much to fake so at this point. There's way too much footage here I want to give the biggest shout out Ever to this to this goddamn youtube channel that is where it's all showing up. It's elden ring news And i'm gonna link you to it wools because it is astonishing
Starting point is 00:21:29 This gentleman has uploaded a video every single day For eight months. Oh, yeah, I've know i've been following And it's literally day 102 To the day's date there is no news about elden ring and they're all 20 seconds long And like and then the the the big ass leaks Just blowing out from this one location Uh It's incredible. I love it
Starting point is 00:22:07 I hope that the horseback riding combat Is not just like One or two swings and then otherwise steer your your horse car In the direction and and and road rash it. I hope that there's a little bit more going on with the horse It needs to it needs to or it needs to it should have Heavy and strong strong and light attack like your regular melee and it should have a move set
Starting point is 00:22:39 Per weapon that is dependent on its type Like I don't think I don't think having a move set for on the horse for every single weapon in the game Is viable, but at least like all curved swords will do this Sure You know, uh horse lances will do horseback archery Uh horseback dismounting attack Horseback boss fight There will like
Starting point is 00:23:08 assuredly The a couple horseback boss fights right like yeah, yeah, yeah the most obvious thing in the world There's a fourth leak Losers I can't wait until like I somebody's like elden ring leak and I click on it and it's like that picture of barack obama with the huge cock Damn You know what's gonna happen Uh the one you posted is just the mage doing stuff
Starting point is 00:23:38 So it's just a start of a a boss fight. So you want to look for the uh The video that is um About a minute long minute and six seconds. Yeah It's it's actually funny because that version is a lower quality than the two separate leaks that then were later combined together But it it's it's that that version is missing Man these these are these are the days, huh? Like once upon a time This is what it was just like squinting at shit footage trying to parse what you're staring at
Starting point is 00:24:15 We're back. I'm trying to I'm trying to see like the house around the guy's monitor Sure like sure like oh man. Uh-oh. It's filipino champ's house That what that's the just oh my god. Okay, so you can see him You can see him in the footage. Okay. Here we go. Uh balance beams jump button Okay That looks what are you looking at? Uh new another another one another 40 another another one another one opening some big fancy doors Opening some big fancy doors a jump off of the send me this
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's coming. It's coming. It's coming a jump off of a balance beam um What do we got going on here? They should torch in hand probably Put out a real trailer today You're kind of at this point. Yeah tweets gone. Yeah Already gone. Wow. Okay. Well, I'm it's still loaded on my on my thing. So here. Let me let me If I could record my screen Yeah
Starting point is 00:25:30 Oh, they're super mad Oh, I love yeah big statue in a cavern area of darkness that might be There like Um, you know basin or rotten type area um torch in hand Not okay torch in hand how you feel about that Oh, I got I got the I got somebody sent me the S sent me the new one that you're watching. Okay
Starting point is 00:25:59 Torch in hand needs to be like easy And and manageable. Don't make it a pain in the ass, please. Oh, that is totally a jump button. You're right It looks like it, right? That well because he's not sprinting. He's not sprinting. It looks like a jump button. Yeah Torch in hand, I can only see like being the same as it always is Hmm Dude, this this this just looks like This literally looks like dark souls one and two and three mashed together Like it almost feels like, you know, like when people do like the tale of two wastelands mod where they put fallout 3 and fallout new vegas into one game
Starting point is 00:26:41 Right and they're just like connected. This literally feels like hey, we made we made two or three dark souls games And then we put a high we put a High-rule field. Well, wait for the data mine a high-rule field Yeah, wait for the data miners to pull out some file names that are just like absolutely hard confirmation of Of dark souls 3 files, you know They should okay, do you remember When activision Had call of duty
Starting point is 00:27:15 modern warfare 3 Like literally every single thing about that game leaked out and kotaku published like Like what every single level in the game was and what the plot was did they and all the multiplayer weapons? Yeah, it was crazy Okay, it was it was the whole thing and Activision went Oh
Starting point is 00:27:41 shit And the next day they put out like 20 trailers. Yes, and did a bunch of interviews And we're like, well, that's what your marketing department is supposed to do. Yes Just you give it that was activision You give it you give it You know, you go 24 hours you put it all together and you go. All right. Here we go You know hands was forced is what it is
Starting point is 00:28:06 um And then so but this is this is bandai namco. I remember a conversation We were having perhaps a year or so ago about how Man, how weird is it going to be if you're going to be going around to towns that are living and populated and talking to people And based on this footage fuck. No, you're not This is still a dead world as always
Starting point is 00:28:33 You're going to meet a couple people standing around here and there and every one of them you will know by name It's it's really interesting that all the from software leak stuff is always crazy to me Because the more that I find out about bloodborne and dark souls 3 in particular Dude, like huge portions of those games hit the cutting room floor like bosses and areas and concepts like in dark souls 3 You're supposed to be able to make your own bonfires by dragging corpses to locations that you wanted to leave Even right right right right and like that's just gone and those screenshots that came out that look like the world being eaten By dragons and all that shit
Starting point is 00:29:11 And that that fucking just straight it doesn't happen in the game. It's just gone So what are we going to go with fun on the uh the naming convention here hollow undead You know spirit form We'll see whatever the lower reason is It's going to be arm based It's going to be like hand or finger or something like that Because the elden ring the original trailer the the lady puts on a robot arm and then the
Starting point is 00:29:41 The the the elden ring is being grasped by like a hundred hands. Okay, almost like a like a yodakage thing. Yeah Ringless did come to mind, but I'm like added. We don't know enough to know anything about what the fucking What the actual ring is and does and all that shit? So we will have to see what the titular Elden ring will actually be um If they just say it it's it just lets you rule them all then fucking Then george is getting tired and old and needs to go to sleep like
Starting point is 00:30:16 Feeling that if the elden ring just rules them all It's just george might need a nap Yeah um Man i'm just i'm just like sprawling because there's all sorts of like Because i'm talking out my ass this is all speculation right but like i'm looking at one of the trailers and the iconography is like
Starting point is 00:30:45 It it feels like a big giant super dark souls Yes, like the bridge type of locations and the architecture and the giant golden tree that reaches to the heavens and All that stuff it looks like kind of like a greatest hits of different Idealized portions if just mashed together in a big game if Miyazaki weren't like spiritually done with the franchise You could see that being dark souls 4 Yeah, totally. You could see them just going like yeah, this is where we go next with it If if they didn't end dark souls 3 the way it was
Starting point is 00:31:22 where dark souls 3 ends with like Literally the entire universe crumbling in a dust and going it's done lol Uh, I would look at this and go oh, it's dark souls 4 right, but no that that series is over Hopefully actually uh Well, he did say that like it's done for him But yeah, you know legally the only one making games there anymore I guess but legally they could do whatever they want Yeah, they could
Starting point is 00:31:58 Well, that's interesting. I wonder if the antagonist will just be Griffith Wow, there's I'm looking at the fourth footage and it's wild. You can see the dude's taskbar Okay, so someone someone you can see got access see that he has like notifications that he hasn't um Hasn't checked out yet and that he likes soccer Yeah, someone's soccer player. Someone got access to an intranet Or an ftp server. Yeah, this person is uh, this person is european Damn there we go damn I can confirm it Because there's a soccer man on the wall
Starting point is 00:32:41 Track him down like who else like death note Find the exact city they're coming from um Yeah, I imagine there is probably like a bunch of dudes over at band iNamco right now like legitimately like digging through Files and uh rosters and who got yeah invited to what show and it's shit like that But what if the fact that that grim is involved means that like there's also a like his company side of things That has access to some otherwise Some people that otherwise wouldn't be there, you know
Starting point is 00:33:17 What if it's someone that doesn't give a fuck that just is like i'm on the book team It's always this thing where I mean you've worked in the but i've i'm always been on the outside of the business right but you've actually worked in the business And every single day that the thing exists more people know about it And it's only a matter of time before somebody actually decides to say something um I can't remember After you after you know, I was just gonna say like I was I was making jokes earlier
Starting point is 00:33:47 But but like squint at that that desktop and see if you don't see wins of winter version five dot doc See if you don't see some shit sitting on that desktop Uh, I've talked with people before season eight shit talk dot txt and about how uh, how like they try and find leaks and It's every time I've ever gotten to talk to somebody who works at a company that's gotten leaked Unless it's like straight up pulled off a server like the capcom shit Right when it actually leaks out from an individual. It's literally always the same thing It's like it happened right after we sent the information over to a different company
Starting point is 00:34:33 Like so like say bandai namco And from soft they had it all locked down tight And then they sent this trailer or this build to show to somebody at microsoft or sony And then that company Just like they put it on some fucking server and they don't hide it. Exactly somebody some intern just goes. It's fucking mine. Yeah Yeah, no every every step away, you know, uh Has a little has a further and further security risk and and I remember um A big part of what like the places I worked had to advertise was their secure labs
Starting point is 00:35:10 And was there like the only people that will ever lay eyes on this have to sign in on a sign-in sheet You know, everything is tracked. Yeah, everything is handed back at the end of the day and and and absolute control and we will assassinate leakers You know, so um and like the bigger bigger projects they would like move you to Like there's secure labs that are like there's open labs that are just you know Same big room and then there was parts where it's like no, you cannot even walk down that hallway Because the client is fucking blizzard, you know um And shit like that so
Starting point is 00:35:47 Uh, yeah, but anyway, you know, we'll see we'll see what happens to this But if the paul marketing is doing his job They will just get their shit together and Headed off at the pass So i'm not sure where this part came from but it seems to be floating around the the leaks themselves which is The idea that the actual reveal is planned for some time this month
Starting point is 00:36:20 I mean Any time would be good Anything would be good It would it would be nice if they just had it sitting unlisted on youtube And like the real version of the trailer And then they were like boop Okay, you got us
Starting point is 00:36:43 I mean we'll have to again, I will see up close once once we get a chance, but you know, at least it's not a case of like um Show shit too early and then like fucking nothing It's this is one true. This has been a forever game, but you know, at least we can see that there's some shit there that you know is is running Um, yeah want I want to play it though. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm I'm not allowed to it's not out. Oh I want to play I want to play it so bad that I've basically been going through every other souls like On my ps5 recently It just in scratching that itch, you know having fuck it. I've I beat I beat the desk and then
Starting point is 00:37:29 You know reggie just finished it as well actually so I'll take the week there um And then I'm fucking like going through neo And I'm just looking back and and I'm reinstalling Bloodborne and I'm just like yeah, I just I got that feel I got that that vibe. I want to you know, I want to fucking play on a realistic Realistic basis like the fact that they're taking so long on Alden ring is promising
Starting point is 00:37:56 Because like every single souls game has come out with like major parts rushed Uh demon souls never got the goddamn 5th archstone Parts of Dark Souls 1 are like laughably unfinished Although like the bed of chaos area you could just see like the gray box If you look at it from certain angles the 5th archstone Bloodborne had all that cut shit like the the or 4th archstone Is now though if it let's say it ever came to exist somehow Let's you know, they went like hey blue point go nuts make some dlc right or whatever the fuck
Starting point is 00:38:38 Uh They would have to compete with the Vati Vidya contest where people submitted their own ideas And yeah, some of the winners were so fucking good that all you could do is compare it to that now Well, the other thing is that like if you if they took if they went and grabbed the concept art or whatever from that Uh and implemented it you'd be like oh turns out the land of the frost giants Was actually Cainhurst with the really tall enemies from the cathedral ward sure
Starting point is 00:39:12 Because whenever they don't finish an idea and it never gets in They just pass it forward one game forward Yeah, um it it uh but it definitely is is like a a Vibe that comes around every couple years of like You want to play some souls right now? You want to you want to yeah, man?
Starting point is 00:39:40 Uh, I don't know what the online is going to be. I assume it'll be the exact same. It's always been I don't know what else they'll do to it But I assume you're going to get the same level of online. You've always gotten jolly cooperation invasions horseback invasions it would be really weird if It was an open world game And it still had the same like joining system
Starting point is 00:40:09 Because that would that like I can just imagine like you hanging out in an empty forest and going to pee and then coming back and being stabbed Kurt Cobain somebody ran up on you with their horse Kurt Cobain has invaded Somewhere on this open world map. Good luck I mean they haven't said that there'd be they haven't said much about the game at all. It might not have any online at all Or it might just have a regular ass co-op Just regular old co-op maybe maybe I doubt that very much I think it's much more likely that it would just have nothing like Sekiro
Starting point is 00:40:56 Ah I imagine the the the I imagine it'll have bare minimum the same the same level of of you know, um Previous Souls games bare minimum Um, yeah except except it isn't a Souls game, right? Yeah But remember that that that's also a difficulty regulator right it is Cooperation is actually a difficulty setting for the games So I gotta say I'm aware that there are there are folks that are like, oh, it's just souls open world
Starting point is 00:41:30 and that's kind of a bummer to them but like dark souls one is My favorite for the simple reason that it nailed the interconnected location the best Going all the way up from the top of like fire link to light town into the ash lake
Starting point is 00:41:54 Right, that's the coolest and Like seeing locations off in the distance and like bullshitting your way over to them It like even though Dark Souls one mechanically is like not nearly as Interesting as the its sequels like that that level design is incredible. Yeah fire link being able to make branching off in like four or five directions and yeah and expanding that into like A really really like like I'm thinking of Zelda and seeing death mountain in the distance But instead of death mountain it sends fortress
Starting point is 00:42:28 you know Like yeah, fuck Yeah, I want that Thinking about I want to I want to I want to Be riding along in a field and hit the edge of a swamp and have a Too aggressive Green color filter go over the screen to let me know that the swamp is poison Sure, sure
Starting point is 00:42:59 Do you remember walking into blight town and the whole games? It just dies. It just dies. Yeah the instant you walk through that door The other thing too is like riding your horse across a zone And like just getting like multiple title drops as you ride in and out and into the next zone past it Oh, yeah blah blah blah
Starting point is 00:43:22 you know so I mean some of these areas, you know, you're even if you're Even if your horse has stamina some of these areas are, you know, not necessarily meant to be like Fucking horseback speed Sprinted through the horse is gonna be okay. I hope so because like This is a violent game what if it what if it gets hurt
Starting point is 00:43:49 Maybe you're gonna get knocked off of it then you walk up to it Pet it and then stab it and take its power into your blade Like the nameless king. I mean alternatively you could just not have a horse. It's just grab a horse From dudes I mean the horse could be a skeleton What if your horse was a skeleton? Sushima Sushima has given you a horse, but also lets you grab a horse Oh, man somebody in the chat just asked like the best question
Starting point is 00:44:25 Is open world like a proper open world game with absolutely no map a good idea There will be a map and I have to say the answer is yes There will be a map for sure. No, there will be a no, but it won't be a helpful map There will be a map But it will but it'll be like a piece of parchment that it like is just with dots on it Yes, it'll a piece of parchment with dots and the shape of the trace of the island And that's it. Yeah, and it doesn't show you where you are It only shows land
Starting point is 00:45:09 Oh man Oh, fuck that pointing out the Sekiro Uh did have a map which I forget using honestly. Fuck that Fuck fuck that I mean It did it did. Yeah. Sekiro did have uh, oh, yeah. Sekiro's map was terrible It was it was just a screenshot of the whole zone of the whole area. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:45:33 With a bunch of dots on it worthless. It was just a picture. Just make one of those side scroller arcadey maps like, uh Ghouls and ghosts where it's just a bunch of the fucking zones attached together in vaguely similar form. Oh, man I literally forgot Sekiro had a map and the reason is is because it is literally just a painting with fucking labels slapped on it Huh, I mean look they could do it. They could just go all it on. Um, fuck you learn learn the whole world, but it's like Oh, that'd be so cool. But like a thing. Okay. I Have All of that demon souls map in my brain right now because it's current. Yeah. Um
Starting point is 00:46:19 I have portions of Dark souls maps one two and three in my head. Yeah, but Boy is there like 40% clutter in there. Yeah you know um Like like desk two and desk. I keep seeing desk. Shit Dark Souls two Like I can tell you where majula goes to haze tower or backwards to the to the fucking forest of giants
Starting point is 00:46:50 and and and Uh, uh, you know how all all those like linear pathways go, but then you're like Wait, but what about where was that again? And like it just it it's not gonna stick around And if the if the open world ends up being like five times the size of any of those things, um We're all just gonna die you say you think it's cool, but we're gonna die There is a way to do it and that is to provide landmarks Uh If you provide a map in which you can almost always see at least one landmark from every location
Starting point is 00:47:29 And in many locations you can see two landmarks That's good. That's fine. And if you're teleporting and if you're teleporting to bonfires with pictures of said landmark Then sure I want bonfires to cost money I want it to be Okay, woolly
Starting point is 00:47:56 You never played dragon's dogma and in dragon's dogma dark arisen they massively Massively curtailed it but in the original dragon's dogma You could teleport to one area and it was the main city and that's it And one of the final upgrades at the very end of the game Was that you unlocked a teleport stone you could put in one place And that was it and the fairy stone cost a shit ton of money. It was super expensive. That doesn't sound fun That it was fucking awesome. That doesn't that it was so good. No, that doesn't sound fun to me That sounds on let me explain
Starting point is 00:48:40 Let me explain why it was fun. All right, because The night and day system Made it so that when you traveled from grand soren up to the tower in the upper right corner of the map It would take you about half an hour and you had to make decent progress and actually Do it well because if you took too long it would become night time and all the fucking undead and badass monsters would come out Okay, but the 15th time that i've i'm doing it Where i'm just going back to collect some bullshit. I don't care anymore Playing your trips. Yeah, no
Starting point is 00:49:14 I've proved that I can do it. I know the thing. It's fine. This is just this is just rote busy work. This sucks That doesn't sound fun at all There's a number of times you can put that in place to have the the the channel, you know prove whatever but it's like At a certain point like well, then fuck you then, you know, or I guess it's just don't get the collectible Maybe that's the answer Just get whatever you need to get while you're there and then get the fuck out. It's dogma rules. You guys are dumb Maybe love dragon stock. Maybe hard to say But I yeah, I haven't played the game
Starting point is 00:49:47 So I don't know but just the way you're describing it if i'm thinking about the number of times I have to backtrack places to Do things to collect things to talk to people to do side quests etc As I would expect of one of these games Oh, the main thing is that in dragon's dogma you didn't actually backtrack that often You would make long trips out to areas and a long trip would be a long trip because you could not Fast travel and then you would come back and then you would make a long trip to a different area Uh dark arisen the the the re-release they just gave you more of those teleport stones
Starting point is 00:50:21 You could leave all over and then they just gave you a fairy stone that was infinite So you could fast travel like normal And it was for pussies and how often did you have to do all cowards? How often did you have to do the same half hour trek? The same half hour trek uh up To the tower you do it literally once Up to the upper left of the map you do it
Starting point is 00:50:48 Uh, maybe twice depending if you explore it out there To the bottom left of the map with the the ogres Maybe twice Depends how much you explored like you're you're doing them one If if you're not exploring and you're just going where the game is telling you once Okay Maybe twice I can't can't tell you till I actually try it, but what you're describing on paper sounds awful
Starting point is 00:51:19 Yeah Yep I Hear I hear it's good. I just you know, but that mechanic the way of doing that It's like yeah, you can you can make things not a pain in the ass for people. I don't know. Yeah, I guess That game's super good though. I hope they make a sequel to dragon stock ma that would be rad Is the journey fun I mean oh it's yeah, it's writing writing my horse through no horse Okay, no, no, no, but I'm just I'm just saying that there are times when I was playing sushima
Starting point is 00:51:58 And I was like I want to take the long road to that spot instead of teleporting because I enjoy the trek um Or you know death stranding where you build your road and then you just you just full on You know team stir it or alternatively you're like I need to put a zip line up on top of that mountain peak and god damn it It is a pain in the ass to get up there, but I'm gonna do it Yeah, and then and then you enjoy your ziplining routes afterwards um So, you know if the pathway to to to doing what you're describing if the journey is is fun
Starting point is 00:52:32 Then that's a that makes a huge difference It's it's it's like the dragon's dogma. It's it's like dark souls made by devil may cry people. It's so good It's so much fun Tra- traveling through that game and ain't getting dark is like legit one of the best parts Of any game I've ever played and the fact that a lot of people didn't get to experience it because They could just fast travel everywhere is legitimately depressing Because when you're able to fast travel all over the place, there's no situations in which you can get caught out at dark And it's the only console game made by a large publisher that has real nighttime
Starting point is 00:53:13 Yeah, like like you have a torch and you cannot see past the edge of your torch period Like it is pitch I was gonna say you're just gonna fucking terrifying. I was gonna say what you mean real nighttime. You're just gonna shit on pokemon like that Yeah, I'm gonna shit on pokemon like that. Yeah All right Okay, oh man, I just oh I just got hit with a fucking new story tweet just now that we'll save for later Oh, hold on. I'm gonna send this to you because that that is wild. Okay Mm-hmm before that. Hey, what do we do with our weeks? What's up with you? Okay, so yeah, I mentioned it earlier, but um
Starting point is 00:53:59 Uh reggie has has made his way through and uh, yeah, now we're just gonna be Uh, uh catching up and moving forward, but reggie's completed dark demon souls Uh, congratulations to him congratulations reg and uh And they old one looks so good in the new engine. Oh man Oh, it's so gorgeous the birds still don't flap They still they still just float there
Starting point is 00:54:30 Wally What if you know how in elden ring? There's the sea of fog they talk about What if That big golden tree is where you fight the final boss and the big golden tree falls over And then the stump opens its mouth and then you go my god And you're like, oh my god. Yep. It's all it was it was the demon And then Elsa comes out all time And spider-man. Yeah, um spider-man's pregnant
Starting point is 00:55:05 So that's that's going to uh That's going to be that's wrapped up And uh, you know, we will have a slot to to to fill momentarily, uh, I'll get into that in a second, but um This week I Played a bunch of neo. So Still working my way through that a week before too
Starting point is 00:55:34 Um, and uh, yeah, I'm planning I'm planning to you know, I want I want to get through it I I want to jump into two and in order to do so I want to finish off one and I have now gotten back into the rhythm of like Managing the the 50 billion items you pick up permission and managing the rares and handling the blacksmith and soul forging and and uh, uh, um Refashioning and all of that stuff. Yep. Yep. Yep. I'm like, yep. I remember now Right re-roll. I want my I want these particular stats. I want these particular abilities um
Starting point is 00:56:14 map like I said like I said mapping all those special little things as you unlock your your Uh, uh, your your samurai points your ninja points your onmeo points Uh, and then we never even talked about the clan system that you you eventually unlock I don't even know what you're talking about. There is a clan system that you join one of all the different Uh prefectures in japan all have a clan And you join and then each one gives you specific benefits Give give you specific things you can trade in for specific rewards And then you can also spend glory points
Starting point is 00:57:01 To glamour yourself up as other characters in the game if you wanted to Or get access to specific random high quality weapons gestures Oh, that's how you change your appearance Okay, uh, there is a whole and and of course Uh, most importantly clan battles So there's the you join a team and then you all have to compete For you know, there's daily and monthly
Starting point is 00:57:32 The pseudo online networking competition going on for your clan points. It's madness. It's fucking madness, dude The game just like it's all the it's all the menus and like technicality and like Subsystems you'd expect of something like championship manager But then there's just an action game there to an action game. Yeah It's it like take away the action game and you would still spend all of your time on a map Going into sub menus changing things managing points handling shit But also here's this high-end action game Fucking crazy, but uh, yeah still enjoying having fun
Starting point is 00:58:19 um You know difficulty is is Uh, uh, it catches back up to you and and it has a number on each mission I forgot about that. It's straight up tells the level. Yeah, it's like you should be this level approximately So you you know what you're heading into Um, and if you want to go and and face like shit. That's way above you. You're gonna suffer and it is what it is Uh, you've got like The the entire like also like uh co-op with a friend or to fight somebody randomly
Starting point is 00:58:48 And all that shit like there's a whole multiplayer the whole multiplayer menu that I just I never bothered with it I I never really did anything with it. But like that's there if you're if you're looking for that I mean it it just it's uh It is a bottomless well To fall into and you have to draw a line in the sand the kind of thing Where you get exactly as much out as you want to put in Yes, absolutely. There's tons to put in absolutely um
Starting point is 00:59:17 And like you're and there's you're just your inventory Like you do like five missions and your inventory is like hundreds of Soar of weapons armors and consumables deep You know and for consumables even like you map eight You know to your your quick 70 unique types of You're mapping you're mapping eight from your
Starting point is 00:59:45 Replenishable ninjutsu On mio or like full full consumables to the thing But there's like yeah, there's a list of Fucking hundreds that you're going through Um, you've got your equipment of which there's five things on your body And then you've got your two weapons. You got your two Uh, you know long range and then you have your two charms And your charms are pretty variable as well and you want to change your charms out depending on what kind of boss you're gonna fight
Starting point is 01:00:15 Um Okay hundreds is perhaps an exaggeration, but there's a lot it feels it feels like a lot. Um And of course, uh, when you go to the blacksmith you can forge items buy items sell items Uh, there's special finds and discoveries sometimes There's like the fact that the subsystems have a A like intelligent selection system where it's like go to the sub menu of armors Select everything that is uncommon or Less valuable in rarity and sell those only and you can put on a warning that says hey
Starting point is 01:00:52 This item is pretty good. Are you sure you want to sell it? And you can say yes or skip all or whatever just shows you how much menu managing they expect you know It's a lot but i'm i'm not complaining because it's You know, it's optional. You can just pick up the big shiny number put it on and keep swinging Uh, based on something somebody in chat said I went to the neo 2 for extra life and discovered that neo 2 has Dozens of mechanics
Starting point is 01:01:25 relegated entirely to new game plus Oh Oh man Oh, yeah yeah Like it adds new types of items to the loot pool that do all sorts of stupid shit Neo 1 complaints that I hope they fix in 2 when you glamor something
Starting point is 01:01:50 You can't see what it looks like on your body until you finish the process You can only see it Or although like okay, you can put the thing Itself that you're choosing on your body, I guess But like in the menu while you're going through it quickly. You're just not getting a quick reference point So like to see how things match together for fashion souls You know, it took a while to like do it slowly. They fixed it. Yay Oh boy people people are telling me now that
Starting point is 01:02:23 Not only are there global changes in the o2 to new game plus But also to new game plus plus and new game plus plus sure sure Sure Yeah, it's too much Also the way we don't talk about it often But it's like the way some of the levels are built as well Some levels are very short and small and are meant to just be like endurance encounters But some of them are long and winding
Starting point is 01:02:56 and create nightmare funnel like brain Problems because like you will hit right nightmare funnel brain problem Because like for example, uh, you will hit Uh a a a a door Or a pathway and it'll open up and then it leads you to three potential
Starting point is 01:03:23 pathways Right it forks into three And then like one of those forks leads you above so you can see everything And one of those forks leads you to another set of forks Yeah And then the one that's above will then let you run on the rooftop of a building And see that like okay the forks that are coming are
Starting point is 01:03:51 Like two of them are dead ends But two of them are connected And one of them goes off in a distance that you can't tell and then there's another two doors In one of those dead end spots while you're on the roof of the fork from the fork And then there's another path that goes the other way entirely and then there's a safe point there Because they they split the difference between like this is a fucking combat room Mm-hmm And then there's the this is a this is like a floor of sense fortress
Starting point is 01:04:24 They will like yeah Now however to its credit Once you find your shrine like bonfire thing and you start further on in the map or whatever um You always do have a it's not quite a map But it is a like sonar radar blip indicator It's kind of weird that shows you where points of interest are If you're nearby you'll see an enemy dot and there will always be an objective
Starting point is 01:04:56 Vague direction dot on the edge of it that you move towards So it's not a detailed map, but it's just a bit of a sonar system That you can work your way towards you know Even though like it's quite rare that you see it on the the dot on the map And you're like oh, I can just walk there in a straight line No, no you can't furthermore if you're doing like a a alternate version of a mission Sometimes you kill the the objective in a random house in a random location And then the exit to the map
Starting point is 01:05:29 Spawns there on that body, but you're not finished exploring so you go back and explore everything But then you have to make your way back to that one specific room in that one specific house To exit, you know, so there's there's just a lot happening in the end Yeah, and also Most of the bosses are pretty rad But I've definitely fought at least one that sucks ass Which one's that it's a giant water monster
Starting point is 01:06:05 and It is not at that far and it's and it's less of a Monster or human being that you're dodging and swinging at and it's more of a like uh occasional You can hit me every once in a while, but I'm a giant kaiju size thing And I'm I'm I'm gonna just shoot shit at you and every once in a while. I'll slam a hand down that you can swing at Oh, it's that stupid fucking thing that attacks the boat. Yeah, that's seen exactly You fight that eventually
Starting point is 01:06:37 Oh this It's a shit boss. It sucks does not look great It eventually lands on the stage and then you can swing at it While there's ads and the ads suck But Like while the body is there You can either have a really shit time trying to get up in its face while it can do instant murder beams Or you can wait to swing in its hands. Yeah, it's it's just not it's not a good boss
Starting point is 01:07:05 It's like an ocarina of time boss. Yeah, you can definitely speed it up by like grabbing fire and and and like You know trying to to sort of rush its face, but you're you can but like when you're swinging at its body It's kind of at the edge of a up here where you can fall off quite easily. Oh, yeah So it's a it's pretty awkward to take big swings at that point Um, I gotta say it's kind of wild It it makes me want to rush through neo one because every single time you talk about anything about neo one
Starting point is 01:07:37 I look over and see literally five people go. Yeah, neo two fixed. Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah exactly exactly Um that and to beef like that's the stinker of the bunch the rest have been really fun solid You know fights 1v1s um That one had bad design and also adds to deal with and it just was like boo, but yeah um Why not simply skip to two because I want to enjoy one because I am
Starting point is 01:08:09 Enjoying it. There's a lot of good things in one and I want to enjoy them I if I skip to two i'm gonna be missing what's good about one Yeah, and because they're so similar and two has so much more content like You're not gonna go back to one once you start playing two Yeah, so you you you get one out of the way I'm just I'm talking about like a particular thing that you know was like added like that but I'm fucking loving every other moment of it and uh, I'm You know, I'm I'm trying. I'm not gonna go into super detail on all the other bosses, but they're really good
Starting point is 01:08:42 There's a lot of a lot of fun to be had there I love the fact that you can choose to Go do the corpse run or just say fuck it give me my my um spirit animal back And I'll try to build it. It's it's meter. It's uh Meter up. I didn't have shit on that corpse. Anyway, it's exactly Right, there's a consumable that lets you get it back with your with your amrita with your souls if you would
Starting point is 01:09:08 But you can basically just be like, yeah, fuck it. No. No, just give me it back. I want the power instead, you know um, that's a nice option to have uh leveling up Definitely is is uh I don't want to I might I don't I haven't used a guide at all for like leveling up advice or anything But like I'm thinking I might consider it because I'm wondering what some of the soft caps are I'm looking at some things and it feels as if they're I'm gonna get diminishing returns Versus soft caps are all really low. There's feels like it feels like it because uh
Starting point is 01:09:41 I'm running a kusari gamma and I'm getting like like uh to a point where You know, it's like Upgrading my dexterity is giving me one point of extra damage on my kusari gamma And it's like if I give myself skill points, I'll be getting three. So why am I even fucking with that, you know Anyway, neo continues to be fucking rad. Um Small little note, but uh teppen got updated recently and uh
Starting point is 01:10:13 They added some new stuff and some new characters And something that was kind of well, here's what's kind of interesting a little bit. The story's never been anything fantastic It's been just kind of this whatever bit. Yeah, no, it's it's a crossover cross over nonsense, right? Well, but you you played it a little bit, right? I did play it a little bit. Okay. So remember there's that mysterious woman who's like leading everyone to the land of illusion No, okay. There's this mysterious cloaked woman Who's leading everyone to the land of illusion and she's been doing so got it from the moment the game launched and you're like
Starting point is 01:10:50 Uh, she's tricking everyone to go fight. She's basically planting seeds to be like, hey Dante Go fucking fight this this morrigan chick and Ryu you you want to got it overcome your powers? Yeah, land of illusions. The y'all it's the best go go check it out anyway, um turns out that was Ada Wong the whole time And she is now playable in the game That is so stupid. Oh my god Holy shit. She was she was playing
Starting point is 01:11:21 She was she was covered up in a in a robe playing a mysterious unknown character And secretly it's been Ada Wong manipulating everybody in the background. That is Legitimately like hyper terrible. That is so bad Oh man, I love it. Hey, what the fuck off? That's fine And then she so she's doing some deals Where she obviously had to betray wesker and now she's basically doing she has some some plans With some otherworldly set of glowing red eyes
Starting point is 01:11:55 I'm sure You know, um, so we'll find out what the point of that is but um Um Yeah, uh, the the the new content has appeared in the game uh, Ada is now playable And uh, she has a pretty interesting um deck style
Starting point is 01:12:19 So again, I don't lies um It's it's Okay, so first of all the event is called a dark agenda And then the the the first letters are all capitalized So a da But I'm seeing it's her regular costume from four but with the with a tattered cloak on it. Yeah, so
Starting point is 01:12:46 Exactly. So she tosses off the tattered cloak when the fight starts, right? um Anyway, so her her her cards are A lot of her cards are like When you play this card or when you put this on the on the field It'll lock one of her slots for 10 seconds and then unlock it And then when a slot gets unlocked Something in her deck gets buffed really strong
Starting point is 01:13:09 So like urian is like one of her cards urian will get buffed for every time a card gets unlocked for example um It's it's a unique thing the game hasn't had up until now like temporary locking of fields in order to You know get get buffs out of that And alongside eta is strider Who's not playable as a full character, but a bunch of strider based themed cards are are now playable um One of which is really cool. It's striders basic card, which is a
Starting point is 01:13:40 uh You know, it's a it's a normal card that has decent stats and it attacks very quickly And every time it does it summons option a option b or option c Which will either give you Flying agility or shield and do a little bit of damage to whatever you're attacking. So like it is it's absolutely like striders little pets Coming in the bird the the the panther or the um the floating little pod, you know and uh
Starting point is 01:14:10 Yeah, i'm like, hey, it's another one of those like fun implementations of a character's Method of fighting into their card mechanic, you know, I'm watching this trailer. This is so aggressively fucking stupid What's wrong with eta being the final big secret? What's wrong with like there's this footage of her going oh the baby puppet was super easy to control and it shows her like Having hacked a goddamn fucking doctor light capsule Yeah, fucking lied a mega man through like Jesus shit And then she beats zero and then shuts him down and this this the exact fucking Stupid crossover shit and then she steals an orb from a palico
Starting point is 01:14:53 And she's like my ambition is nearly complete But about strider like Even as a giant reasonable mark dude striders should have been the fucking character. Yep They fucked up They fucked up by not making strider the playable totally I don't I I don't like strider as much as eta And striders should have totally been the new playable character. There's already multiple reasonable characters. Yep, right? There's besker and uh Someone else I'm sure jill
Starting point is 01:15:26 Jill yeah, fuck it. That's stupid Now eight is great But like yeah, and I I'm I'm you know, absolutely gonna go for Representation from a different franchise. They put in like the last character was like a senku goku basara girl And I was like, yeah, I guess I mean, I don't got it. It's not a franchise Whatever you could get one you get one. That's fine It'd be really cool if they released any of those games over here Oh, yeah, well because apparently they're pretty good
Starting point is 01:15:57 What about devil kings? What about devil kings? remember how the font looked like devil may cry No, I don't remember anything about devil kings. Okay Well the font for devil kings looked like the font for devil may cry I refuse your insinuation that I would know something about devil kings Shame on you. Oh, yeah, so that's what's happening in tap n
Starting point is 01:16:25 um Taking a look over there. I played some stuff this week. I played On the channel we did get into fighting games for hellish court or hellish cart is uh The way the producers pronounced it in the video, but it looks like it's court q u art Uh and this is a sword fighting game that is um following I would say spiritual successor to the
Starting point is 01:16:57 deadliest warrior games I'm seeing it now. I can see what you exactly what you mean They're great They're very very good. Um the deadliest warrior games were a lot of fun back in the day I think we did yeah, we did a fisticust for them and uh, this is now kind of physics-based same kind of energy Reposts parries you have a couple of different directions to swing your sword in you have to get an opening and no life bar You either Take hits and like lose
Starting point is 01:17:31 Like like your your some of your limbs go lame or your your legs get weak if you get stabbed Or you just get stabbed and die most of the hits are what hit kills So a little bit of that machito blade blade in here. Absolutely. Absolutely tons of fun. Um The multiplayer mode literally when you go to it in game, it says just load up parsec, bro It straight up tells you how to install parsec and use it So, uh weird they're they they're gonna integrate parsec. They're saying but for now. That's what you got Uh, but yeah, it is a game being made by apparently former
Starting point is 01:18:08 Witcher devs or a former witcher dev I believe so it is taking place in 17th century polish commonwealth History and it's going to include, you know, people, um, um, french musketeers and Spanish fighters as well, uh, you got a lot of Uh, traditional Curved sword play. You've got a long sword in there. You've got a rapier Really fun stuff and and the the main thing is rapiers are cool, man
Starting point is 01:18:42 They they are but they have their weaknesses, you know, then you stabby stab good with them But if you can't stab then good luck, you might just die Um, what if I stabbed though and it's one of those games where they got a bunch of like Realistic they got a bunch of real swordfighter people to look at it and go. Yeah. No, that's what that looked like That's how you did it So take that out. That's stupid. That's not uh, yeah, and and and in the end they're kind of like no, this is this is pretty solid like you have um, so you have like, yeah, uh, uh, uh Uh, hold out to block and like kind of like track parry
Starting point is 01:19:19 Your your opponents moves a little bit But if they do fakes, it's not going to be intelligent enough to deal with that so you have to repost properly Um, you've got, you know, the different directions left and right high left and right low that you can swing the sword in And then you have up close a grab which is Instant death if you land it grab and stab. Yeah, uh, or you can use your offhand to Knock their hand away So if you're within the range to do so and they're swinging at you You can like just tap their blade to the side or their hand to the side as you would do if you were shieldless fighting
Starting point is 01:19:55 And just get into like some really ugly Like you're swinging at me instead of tinging my sword off of yours I'm gonna just grab your wrist and be like fuck you And then stab you that works. That's a that's a thing, you know, and I'm like, yeah, okay So they work that in mechanically as well and in the end it's um, it's really solid. Um Now the the the jank level is certainly present This is an early access game and it's very much Looking like you're fighting with unreal characters and in unreal fields
Starting point is 01:20:29 Uh, however, uh, I I definitely Love the fact that like it it feels it's just as fun as those deadless warrior games were, you know, it's really really, uh It feels tight You can see where you fuck up you can you have moments of like, yeah I was in I was at the tip of the rapier I need to be inside because the rapier loves to stab, you know, and if you move past that you can fucking You know, you can you can get to work
Starting point is 01:20:57 Uh, I have my character is a bell. She was using a long sword and she was just like crushing it You can go into you know what it ends up feeling like it ends up feeling like an elaborate version of a nidhog fight Ha ha Yeah, I can see it you're switching between like high and low stances You're you're you're doing fakes Um, because any any any action you do you can press back to like back to like faint it You know, or you can follow up a low with like a high or like one side with another and in a lot of cases there will be a seamless like
Starting point is 01:21:34 Like the the the the way the arm travels will seamlessly go from like curving across a low over to a high if you want to Follow up with a side. They're not guarding in a way. So, um, man, dude Nidhogg was so fucking great. I wish they'd made a sequel to it. Hmm. They added like more weapons and more stages Yeah, well, hey, this ain't quite a sequel to nidhog. It's it's not like this is a nidhog 2 or anything But this is that's unfortunately not a thing that exists but this is uh, uh Something that is still fun in the same veins and I would definitely recommend people go check it out if you're looking for some uh
Starting point is 01:22:13 realistic sword fighting fun When you go to training mode, they even use little wooden swords and like just kind of stab each other and go like, oh, you got me Ha ha ha, you know So, uh, hellish court is the name of the game now Because the game is in early access and I figured we'd have some time I said, hey reggie, why don't we check out something else that's getting
Starting point is 01:22:36 Lot of lot of hot word on the street talk about it this week And yeah, uh, that's a game called infinite versus Now infinite versus has a subtitle and that subtitle is 3d mugen And all right, uh, I I encourage you to go to twitter and just type the words infinite versus into the search bar And just check out some of the videos that are popping up Uh Showing you some of the tech this game has to offer look at that. I'm gonna go type in infinite versus
Starting point is 01:23:20 3d mugen sure enough. Yeah, superman versus spider man Now if you were to see the result if you were to see nomu from my hero academia stomping out Ultra instinct goku with his sixth low punch or low kick That would be correct. You found the right game. Yeah So this fucking thing, right? Oh, it looks like 3d mugen. All right This fucking thing you boot it up and you go to the steam page for it
Starting point is 01:23:52 and Like here. Let me see if I can fucking find it and send it to you. All right Like I'm watching this footage. It's real fucking jank. I love this crap. This looks like fucking trash But here's what kasame attacked iron man with the with the the blade with the teeth on it Here's what's important though. I'm gonna send you a link. This is the page on steam Go go to the steam page Take a look at some of those screenshots and and
Starting point is 01:24:23 Tell me what you see Tell me what kind of characters you see I See the same two or three generic characters. You sure do have Because when you don't have any copyright problems in them at all and all the stages Are unreal hire this man stages With hire this man lighting Mountain or forest backdrops exactly with generic music
Starting point is 01:24:51 So you boot the game up and there is nothing infringing at all in it. It's a unique fighting game a little bit of infringement With unique assets characters and music and stages doing its own thing However, then how do I get boros from? One punch man to fight darth ball like in the video i'm watching right now Well, if you thought that you would have to go to the steam workshop you would be wrong Because in game there is a mod menu Oh my god, but in that mod menu in game It's pretty much just a series of switches that turn on
Starting point is 01:25:31 every character That includes this goku superman fucking Eren yager berserker kirito versus goju sataru gilgamesh all might spider-man iron man all of it all of it
Starting point is 01:25:52 and and uh You just you just you click the button and now they're in the game and while you're at it. You can also download the Tekken 7 smash brothers or fexel soundtrack this feels like it is like Straddling the line Until it digs in it's amazing like this game is going to get killed next week because it is
Starting point is 01:26:22 Like it's doing that thing where it's like nudging a lawyer going. Well, we're not technically Fringing and somebody's gonna go shut up So you can't even uninstall the characters mods once you install them That's that's even stupider Um I used to talk about back in the day a quake mod called bid for power that was dragon ball put into quake 3 The reason why this is noteworthy is because They got shut down by infogrames who eventually became Atari at the time
Starting point is 01:27:01 and they put out a bunch of arcura toriyama inspired characters Into bid for power and it then became an original game With toriyama like characters in them and then suddenly a zip file Appeared mysteriously on the internet that just modded all the dragon ball characters back into the game Oh, it's mysterious. No idea where it came from Oh, where they are. How could that happen? That's just there you go, right now. This is that same energy except They didn't even bother to separate it from the game
Starting point is 01:27:37 It's a menu you go to um Now as far as gameplay is concerned the name infinite versus is very apt not only because of the branding of infinite brands coming together to fight each other But because the only way to play the game is to find the infinite that your character has Because every character has at least two or three infinites in them And you are stuck holding them
Starting point is 01:28:05 There's one burst system that you can use to get out of it But otherwise you press one of your three buttons and then you just keep pressing it and that's the end of that The round is over Oh, wow, that's so good uh It's the best so we dove in this is like The novelty made flesh We had a good ass time playing this this thing and we checked it out
Starting point is 01:28:29 But the last the last most important detail that you need to understand about infinite versus 3d mugen is that It introduces the world to a next level Netcode called blitz netcode Oh god, that's where that fucking shit came from and if you think for a fucking second That this shitty rollback world we live in is going to take over and become the new standard You need to fucking sit out and shut up
Starting point is 01:29:02 You're about to learn about blitz netcode proprietary of this it is absolute like It's it's fucking proprietary netcode For infinite versus The game is free, but you have to pay the 15 or 20 bucks to get access to the online Now how does it work? Is it like the real man's world? You wouldn't be wrong if you guessed it's a little bit like ringo road again
Starting point is 01:29:33 um Here here from the page It describes how is blitz netcode different from rollback? It is fundamentally different because rollback and delay based netcode um Always feature delays, but the input delay for blitz netcode is always zero Unlike delay based on rollback blitz netcode doesn't require both players to be completely in sync
Starting point is 01:30:00 These are some issues with synchronous online gameplay Games add in long artificial input delays to keep the game in sync The game will always be locked at 60 fps If your computer hitches below 60 fps, the entire game will slow down for you and your opponent Any network lag may cause your opponent to teleport to the correct location and visual artifacts So that it goes on to explain that uh The problem is that
Starting point is 01:30:29 These other games are trying to synchronize the two players and that's bad Blitz netcode uses low latency dedicated servers uh instead of peer to peer and By relying on that They can allow you to have a seamless netplay experience where you don't have to worry about being in sync with the other player It's perfect zero input delay to you On your computer and that's what matters
Starting point is 01:31:02 Doesn't matter what they're experiencing You have zero input delay And that's blitz netcode, baby If you press the button and you get an input immediately and they press the button and get an input immediately What's the problem? Yeah, it's Makes sense It is it is works for me netcode. That's correct. Yep. Oh my god
Starting point is 01:31:39 I remember reading that and just like Like every single line is like this doesn't make any sense. This literally doesn't make any sense Who says you need to be synced up? You know Kind of reminds me of um When we were so it's just inputting the inputs when they get them synchronization be damned Hey, you and your inputs are always zero frame zero input So if I knock a guy down, but on his end he was doing an srk
Starting point is 01:32:16 He'll do the srk motion on the ground for me and Thus won't do an srk and then the first inputs that come out will be the ones that he does. Oh my god It's such a mess, but your inputs are always zero That's all that matters You have no lag whatsoever Never mind them. Don't worry about them You're you're literally fighting like a ghost of the person from a few seconds ago. Oh man
Starting point is 01:32:56 Yeah, um I mean i'm i'm almost reminded of like back in the day we were uh In the in the qa days. There was a game in the office called rock revolution which was um konami's answer to Rock band and the guitar hero games It was pretty guitar into that, right? It was pretty sad and it had the triangle shaped drum set and shit um, however
Starting point is 01:33:22 Uh, it advertised itself as having uh, multi player features on the box and in in In reality, it turns out that the multiplayer feature was Upload your score online and then See what your friend scores are And then challenge them to beat your score
Starting point is 01:33:47 Uh-huh And that's multiplayer That's that's multiplayer right there There's multiple people and they're all players. Yep Uh Man, yep, yep, so infinite versus Uh get into fighting games is gonna be coming out Real soon keep uh keep an eye for that
Starting point is 01:34:17 It's it's it's powerful. It's powerful stuff I bet you this coasts For a while you think it's gonna get sniped. I bet you this fucking coasts because the footage on twitter Is nothing but copyright nightmares But once you go and download the product on steam
Starting point is 01:34:42 And if they get any complaints all they have to do is just hit the button that says mod mod menu off And that's it talking about Like those are users submitted on their infinite versus website We just yeah, we just not just kill those. Those aren't ours. Those are nothing Fuck it You know, they've separated it nicely and neatly Also, I played a star wars fighting game a couple weeks ago. That's been around for over a year now so
Starting point is 01:35:15 Like you'd be surprised Fair enough. They're not always on the fucking, you know on the ball Uh Yeah So that that Was basically the deal. Um Be sure to tune in to woolly versus on youtube and on twitch To to see more of that to see getting to fighting games hellish court
Starting point is 01:35:43 um and yeah since uh We're in a new a new week of new content awaits us. We're going to be having a bunch of uh A whole new schedule in fact so New lp starting tomorrow I'll just just to be fully transparent What I wanted to do around now and what I've been kind of hoping I was hoping that we would Land right around we'd finish demon souls right around the time that um
Starting point is 01:36:17 Disco Elysium dropped but unfortunately it's not out yet They didn't specify a release date because They said march We'll let you know TB mark similar bizarre holding pattern. Yes Where I'm like disco So We got we got some time to kill until then
Starting point is 01:36:40 So in the meantime, we're gonna do some other stuff Uh, and and thanks for everyone who um filled out the poll on the channel And and I was able to take some notes and do some Calculations and figure a couple things out. So uh this week on tuesday, we will be starting arkham asylum Oh, man finally, uh, then On wednesday, we'll be starting Like a dragon yak is a seven quick look
Starting point is 01:37:11 And by quick look, I mean 13 hours So the first 13 hours of gameplay They're asking you for 13 hours. That's uh about how long it takes to open up amount of time That's how about about that should be about as long as it takes to open up That is so specific. That's so weird. So we're gonna be doing that for a little bit And then on thursday, uh, so I Didn't mention this on the podcast uh at any point, but some time ago I felt like going back to Sekiro for myself when uh all the hullabaloo was was not out and about and just playing and kind of uh
Starting point is 01:37:51 You know doing it on my own at my own pace and I did and I kind of went yeah We can pick it up and keep this going. So we're going to be jumping back into Sekiro on thursday And we're going to be finishing it off from where we left off Uh, and that's going to be the week New schedule new shit. Well, I'm I'm glad you're going back to Sekiro because that final boss is the shit I mean, I definitely did uh see So I the I originally uh
Starting point is 01:38:23 Went the Forsaking route and then saw the fight with You know Uh, what's her face and then cool dude Yeah, so that I uh this time it's going to load back from that point, but I think I'm I can go for the extended outro So I think I can go for the non forsaking path and then Uh, do it the other way instead
Starting point is 01:38:46 Which is another couple hours. I know There's uh, there's some there's some stuff you can do If you're willing to mess around with your save files because there's different final bosses for almost every uh route um, and You could I I managed to all of them by making sure that my saves did not progress by uploading them to the cloud Yeah, so what happened is when I when I made my backup to the cloud I then copied over my shit to the ps5
Starting point is 01:39:16 Which migrated some stuff, but didn't keep my my my cloud save for some reason Um, so then when I booted it up and I started playing I went forward Uh, and then when I decided you know what fuck it. Let's let's play it on stream again I went back to the ps4 and I took the old save and I put it on a usb stick So yeah, I have a physical backup of the decision point that I can use to go Wherever the game needs to and not have to do the full thing. So that's that's uh, That's what we got So yes, uh weak of of big new shit going down on woolly versus
Starting point is 01:39:58 Tune in come have some fun. We're having a good time Also play sub or dub. Well the the end result was 49 to 51 and my personal Uh bias and interest wants sub However, I'm The fact that it's this much of a fight of and he wants sub too The fact that it's this much of a fight is
Starting point is 01:40:28 not Going without notice And I'm hearing that not only is the quality impeccable, but there's some shit. That's legitimately Hilarious. You told me this but other people. Yeah did indicate similar things, but it's also a yakuza game, right? So This is a this is a quick look as it were, but it's not really that quick. It's a couple sessions I don't mind jumping around back and forth. So I'm going to be mixing it up I'm going to be that's weird, but I get it. I'm going to be trying out both
Starting point is 01:41:03 um so uh A fun fact that just came out is ichiban's voice actor in japan Is currently playing through like a dragon dubbed And talking about it on twitter Which is fucking weird um But the main thing that I have to tell to you woolly
Starting point is 01:41:28 is that I had a similar situation where I asked people sub versus dud. I got a little bit closer. I got 60 40. Okay And subs one my yeah, uh, no dubs one dubs one, okay Yeah, and my advice to you is that remember Always remember whenever you ask the people the question Remember that one guy who told us the biggest truth ever Which was I voted for this game
Starting point is 01:42:00 But I'll admit I'll watch the first three episodes and then never come back a million percent And that's why my personal vote counts for 51 percent of the actual vote Like like when I I when I put that poll up I was like I have decided to do dubs in my heart Yes, and the only way I would have gone for subs is if it was like 85 percent above So for me, I decided to do subs in my heart Uh, and again and the fact and you know v agreed as well But the fact that people are like no, but there's some legitimately hilarious like readings
Starting point is 01:42:35 And I'm like, okay the level of fight for dubs in the comments It was all it was all dub talk in the vote. It was it was almost 50 50 So I'm like, you know what I'll jump I'll I'll do both because it's in um, Tsushima, I did switch over to the english for a while We did like two or three sessions in english and then came back to japanese And I was like, okay cool It was nice to see into you know to get the feel for it in the end The lip syncing was the the biggest thing a lot of the biggest issue a lot of people had with it
Starting point is 01:43:06 But I didn't so um In this particular case, I don't know if lip syncing is a thing But so Uh No lip syncing is is consistent between both. Okay. Okay. Awesome. Like it works. Awesome. Um The other thing is that I think I ran a twitter poll beforehand as well and that was much more even And it's like, aha Because remember the comments the comment vote
Starting point is 01:43:34 Doesn't necessarily mean they're there. I for your own personal use. I would actually recommend running A stream poll 10 minutes beforehand. Yeah, just to see how it shakes out It doesn't hurt that apparently it's it's hijiyama as well Who um 13 sentinels Oh, yeah, it totally is hijiyama. You're right. It's kaiji tang. So Uh, that sounds you already know that dude knows good knows how to do good himbo Yeah, so yeah, I'm I'm down. I'm down to try it all and see what's up, you know
Starting point is 01:44:10 Which is uh, what what this? Uh quick look should be So that's going down And yeah, uh arkham, which For some reason, uh, is not playable on ps5 Really? Yeah, so it turns out stupid. Yeah, so i'm like, oh, let's just go to the shop Type in arkham. See what we get and it's like arkham collection Return to arkham
Starting point is 01:44:41 Arkham origin. Nope. Fuck you not doesn't work So i'm like, what are my choices here and your choices are the original ps3 game uh, the steam version of the 2009 game or Uh, you know grab your ps4, I suppose and for and then I was like wait, but what about the physical and stuff? And it's like, yeah, no, you it's not one of the back one of the backwards compatible games of the remake from 2016 or whatever 2018 I think anyway, whatever the remake of arkham asylum is not one of the ps5 compatible games So
Starting point is 01:45:18 Yeah So yeah pc versions easy to run nowadays Uh, if you try to buy it on the shop, it'll it'll literally be like nah, don't fucking You know, don't do it and I think I read that if you have the physical disc you can pop it in and it will run But like and you can get an un you can get an unpatched version of the game that unlocks that that unlocks the frame rate um
Starting point is 01:45:46 Or someone got something like that in a in a reddit thread, but you cannot actually Digitally purchase the game for your ps5 So, uh Anyway, um So that's that's that's what we're basically going to be doing um From what I can when I looked on steam. I only saw the original version. I didn't see the remake on steam so
Starting point is 01:46:16 Now to be fair This remake of arkham asylum. Yes re-release like remaster a remaster. I guess But the naming conventions suck because the whole thing is like um Like there's like it's like instead of just calling it like arkham asylum or whatever the fuck It's all under the like arkham knight return to arkham like return to arkham nomenclature
Starting point is 01:46:44 and then arkham city and arkham asylum are both Like underneath the category of arkham knight there weirdly, you know, um, so Yeah, it was just it was a little bit confusing and then I just went to the what the fuck the p the pc version never got the The re-release and the re-release has like new lighting Yeah, yeah when I looked on steam the re-release wasn't there. It was only the old one That's fucking so stupid
Starting point is 01:47:18 So I just I but I plugged in the ps4 and I put it on and I downloaded the collection on that And then I'll just I'll be playing the ps4 re-release version What a fucking weird mess Yep Why is it gotta be oh wow this bed that new lighting is not good Here we go, all right, so half-life Half-life again
Starting point is 01:48:04 Okay, all right. All right. So what are we doing here? We play in 2009 This is this is what we're doing. I don't know. Yeah, I was just looking at screenshots All right, well anyway um That's happening starting tomorrow and then the new shit's going down. So That's tomorrow. Fuck great time to be second guessing this shit. No, I just I don't I I don't want to fucking This is later. Well, I'm not doing this now. I'm not fucking doing this now
Starting point is 01:48:44 All right, it's it's whatever game game old. I'm not I fucking hate this shit. You should just play it on the ps3 dude. You should just not play it. How about that? I hate this whatever this type of bullshit happens where it's like, no, it's fine. No, it's not new think that And it's like there's just no like consensus on like damn I can't just go back and grab the the the the the thing that's there that I could it was already That's it sucks. It fucking sucks. I hate it. It's so annoying. Anyway Uh It's going down. All right one way or another
Starting point is 01:49:22 And then the other things we talked about are going down. So that's what we versus. What's up What's up, uh, can I actually get a a couple minute break to use the restroom and I need to check on something? Sure No problem. Let's do that. BRP Okay, so There we are back And hey, I got no pee in my dick now. Good. So hooray for me. Good. Good. That's that's a good Um, yeah, so any anyway, uh, I guess I guess just to Put a pin in it. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go I'm gonna look and I'm gonna see
Starting point is 01:50:03 Which one I want to do based on its appearance And then I'll make a decision and then that'll be that and then uh I'll just have to we'll just have to get complaints in every episode Depending on which one I go with and then that'll be that's right and that'll be that every single time But I'm going with the one I'm going with the one I want to I will go look at both I just assumed the remake would have been better But if it's not I will make a decision tonight executive and then we're fucking gonna go with that and that'll be the end of it
Starting point is 01:50:35 Um, hey, let me ask let me ask you a question. Mm-hmm You ever be wandering around your house? And your fiance is like Can you open this bottle for me and you're like, yeah, I got this And then you open the bottle no problem and you're like, yeah, I'm a big man Okay, well Yes, except this morning when a package came To with an envelope to open and I was like sitting up in an awkward angle
Starting point is 01:51:01 So the blood wasn't flowing properly So then my arms were really weak and when you have weak hands you can't really like do things So like I had that weird thing where I was trying to open the envelope and then I couldn't and it was like flopping Really badly And then she took it and then walked away and then she like cut it open and then tossed it back at me Is this letter opener johns? Have you never had that weird thing where there's like really bad blood flow? I have I have strong manly hands that can crush all things
Starting point is 01:51:34 Every every once in a while like rare very rarely But I have had times in my life where like the blood doesn't flow properly to my arms And I feel like they're on the way to becoming numb So like that weird kind of like pins and needles. He kind of feeling is like it creates like this Is this a type of ailments For the tall No, what it it's been throughout my whole life I'd say every every every once in a while if you like if you just okay
Starting point is 01:52:06 You know when like your arm falls asleep because you're like leaning on it or your legs fall asleep So sometimes so sometimes when you're in a position where your arms fall asleep You then have trouble using them until you get the blood flowing again And that's it. It's everyone. Everyone has fuck off. Everyone has had limbs fall asleep And then when you feel weird limbs feeling asleep, it's awkward to do things until it feels normal again. That's it I'm not gonna have this become some sort of stupid fucking bit because everyone's gonna pretend their limbs don't fall asleep Each shit my limbs fall asleep But only when I lean on them not when they're just flopping a boot
Starting point is 01:52:47 Yeah, no not standing around normally But I'm saying if you if you're leaning on them like I said At an awkward angle or even like sitting on the toilet too long Sometimes my legs will fall asleep You know, oh, yeah, no you're you're my whole my whole asshole down becomes a numb wasteland Yeah, turlet everyone has so just my limbs were my fucking arm was like, you know arms were like all like weird and gooey and Pins and needles and I and like before the blood could squeeze back into them. I was like, oh my god
Starting point is 01:53:17 I can't even fucking I can't hold things. I can't open things and then And then later on, you know the blood squeezed back in so I I have a question for you then Why don't you always just can have a handy dandy box cutter at all on you at all times so that you could cut open boxes and or letters And or defend yourself Well, that's because I actually have Uh four knives strategically placed nearby Each of my setups for that exact opening purpose
Starting point is 01:53:52 Uh, that's true here. It's not within arm's reach, but it's about four seconds away For getting the the you're forgetting the personal knife Yeah, I I you know what I did. I suppose I did I am near the kitchen though So the personal life could be literally anything right over there But um, there are many knives planted around the house for specific letter opening purposes You don't know when somebody from bel canada is going to show up at your door. Well You need to scare him away I'm pretty sure cough would do it nowadays. I'm pretty sure those dudes rock chain mail these days
Starting point is 01:54:35 Underneath the bell fucking jumper But yeah page can't open like a regular bottle of water. I gotta open the water for it's funny I feel like a big guy And what happens when you can't open it I Uh I uh Fake being distracted by something in a different room
Starting point is 01:55:01 And then walk into a different room and they go And then I I come out and be like, oh, yeah, it was no problem I mean, it's either that or it goes in the garbage like it's It's one or the other, you know, you can't be defeated By a by a container of food You know what I should try right? I should try saying honey. I'm really sorry I was I was sitting down and I leaned back and my arms just fell asleep and had no strength in my arms Yes, there you go. What happens?
Starting point is 01:55:31 Get get get you see I'm just a I'm just a floppy arm man Sitting such a way that you have like a sharp angle on like your part of your body that cuts off the blood flow You know similar to the way I don't know if you can see me on camera I don't think there's a sharp part of my body left. Well except for that one part. No, no, no, no No, I mean a sharp object in contact with your body For example, the reason why your legs fall asleep on the toilet is because of the edge of the toilet seat The reason why you fall your arm falls asleep when you lean on it is because your head is pushing the weight down and cutting the blood off So lean up against like the edge of a couch or a chair in a way that it'll it'll cut off the blood flow
Starting point is 01:56:12 And then let your arms get all tingly and then be like, yeah, I can't do it I'd like to point out however that the blood flow Part of this discussion is complete nonsense and is not real and has never been real It's about pinching your nerves. It has nothing to do with blood flow. Oh, I didn't know that I thought it was I thought it was blood. Okay. That's why you get that's why because the traditional thing was like Well, the blood isn't there so you can't feel your nerves and then the blood innervates the nerves again So it works. It's like, no, it's just you're pinching a nerve. Oh, really? That's why pins and needles go off because You're you're inhibiting the nerve and then when you come off the nerve
Starting point is 01:56:49 The nerve starts firing out tons of signals and that's why those signals suck ass And hurt your feet or hurt your arms or how come you're whatever how come like like squeezing the area Fixes it though Because you're innervating it You're poking the nerves your nerves are everywhere your whole thing is Because I thought I thought I thought because I thought it was blood flow I thought you were like kind of like squeezing the area it to like force Things to like move no you're squeezing your man meats
Starting point is 01:57:26 So that your meats push on the nerve and then squish on the nerve And then that fixes it Yeah Okay, I don't fully understand But I didn't know that I thought just think it just instead instead of blood Think of it as electricity. Yeah Just exactly the same mechanics Just because if you if you like so much on your hands
Starting point is 01:57:53 Yeah, and like you you were actually cutting off for real blood flow. Yeah, you could necrotize yourself real easy Okay, it would turn blue and shit But it does Like if you don't squeeze the area it takes so much longer. I find for it to go back to normal. It sucks ass. Yeah Yeah, so like that kind of like little like like ah wake up process You know actually helps a lot and I just I thought you were like pushing the blood That's that's when that's when your when your leg falls asleep. You just start punching it Yeah, now the option to just rip it open with my teeth was there
Starting point is 01:58:25 But this was a letter that came from outside in a mailman's pouch Why the fuck would I use my teeth on that? You could have peed on it. You know, that's that's a horrifying idea I specifically was like I am not going to use my teeth in this situation I assume everything that comes from the outside has pee on it. So, you know Yeah Yeah, yeah interesting Yeah, well, anyway, that's that's what hey
Starting point is 01:58:51 You want to hear another fun little nerve fact? This is my favorite one. Sure You know when you say the word uh Pfft Pick any word that like a common word Django Django, okay Now, you know, if you said Django like 80 times in two minutes It would turn into complete nonsense and would lose its actual like meaning
Starting point is 01:59:18 And you would you would get that weird thing where you're like stumbling over the the the syllables Because you're like, what am I saying the one that I always use is water? And you said like So what that is Is the neuron in your head is firing so often that the system Is afraid that it's like the start of a seizure And so it inhibits the neuron associated with the word And it no longer fires and you're not getting the meaning when you say it
Starting point is 01:59:50 So like you know that you know if you were to say, uh, I don't know be part of a Angel Ancient martial arts group that practice getting kicked in the nuts every day. You seen these guys Sure the monks And over a long enough period of time Vid doesn't hurt anymore. Okay It's because the brain is getting so used to that signal that it goes that signal is not valuable That signal is not useful. It's not stopping you from getting kicked in the nuts
Starting point is 02:00:24 So so inhibit it now with moitai they Roll pin they roll along the the the forearms and the shins To like to kill the nerves so that you can attack with those areas and not hurt So it does not it does not kill the nerves in your leg. It inhibits the neuron in your head Eh That is fascinating Because that's how they that's how like my friend who does it Would refer to it. He's like, yeah, you got to kill the nerves off. You know
Starting point is 02:00:56 But it's actually just Wow That's crazy. I love that's that's it's really fascinating. That's super cool. Like I remember Upon I remember that like I was only way like it was like college years I think when I found out that like um When you ingest a drug of of some kind that The thing the chemical or the the makeup of the drug is not at all what elicits the response in your body
Starting point is 02:01:27 It's that it causes your body to then produce that which is actually already contained within you It's it's on the particular drug. It will in some cases. It'll block or enhance secretions that your brain already have Yeah, so um of like dopamine or serotonin and things like that. Like yeah, when you get a local anesthetic The local anesthetic is not filling you with numbness it's it's Slotted in and it has the same shape as the pain Receptor so it actually just slots into the pain receptor and goes cool
Starting point is 02:02:06 And if it fills all of them When the pain signals come through and release the neurochemicals to cause the pain signals They go to latch on and there's no more slots. There's no more parking slots right uh, though some Some brain chemicals like drugs that it's just a straight analog like an opiate Your brain makes heroin to a degree. Your brain basically makes heroin. So I've been told morphine And you're just going I want more
Starting point is 02:02:37 I just jam more of it in there and want more of it Give me Neurochemistry is crazy. You got the salt channel. It's all sorts of stupid shit. Anyway point being what's wild about it Is just the idea that like let's say you actually had full uninhibited control of Everything your body secreted and produced and you could turn it on and off yourself You could absolutely lose your mind. Yeah, you could get yourself super fucked up On demand. I mean You would lose your mind the amount of interactions you're describing
Starting point is 02:03:10 Is so gargantuan. Mm-hmm It would be like adding, uh Increasing your motor control by 1000 times. Okay, uh, let me re let me re you would go nuts Yeah, let let me rephrase that if you could keep everything automated Except for the one or two that you selectively made manual And then you could manually Like turn that switch off and feed yourself more of this or that You could get you could get all kinds of wild results without needing to ingest anything external
Starting point is 02:03:45 This is the this is the the fantasy version of being able to do it because the real version would probably be instant death You would you would probably like be like I want the good chemicals and you'd go, oh, maybe this much and then you would just die Yeah, I mean, we you know, we were we were we blah we rely on on our automated processes. I mean I I heard uh You're all breathing manually. There's that's the first one right there you go. Uh, I heard a story about um There's a lady that there was a study done where like some part of her brain Was hooked up to the same area or like they had a way to like, um trigger an orgasm response And then oh, yeah, she had this insane
Starting point is 02:04:35 story about like getting Addicted to this button because what the fuck else you're gonna do It besides press it all day and then you can you can uh, totally put a robotic orgasm switch in your head Yeah, and and and then I and then it got to a point where She was like super super like, uh, fucked up over it and was like, please take this away from me And when they went to do so she would like fight them to be like, no don't take it The addict shit is kicking in so, uh
Starting point is 02:05:08 It would be really bad if you had automatic control over all your little switches and dials for sure But I just I just you know, it's crazy to me that it's like I I remember the way I don't know the way I kind of learned about the dangers of all the bad things you put in your body Is like a lord tells you not to yes, but also except for the except for the ones you're supposed to Uh, but most but but the idea was that like that bad thing Is in itself creating this weird response It's this bad thing is poisoning you in this way as opposed to your body itself is actually just producing this You know, it changes the the way you look at things
Starting point is 02:05:47 Do you remember a while ago? And it's gone never mind. All right It's gone the whole the the whole train of thought I had poof Gone hello. Goodbye Uh how apt to the subject Yeah, but it actually uh, what it was a segue into something else But uh, you know that old study where if you give uh pigeons or rats or mice or whatever the
Starting point is 02:06:18 Oh When we were making fun of the sigma males Uh, we described that the entire alpha beta thing came from a misunderstanding of uh, Researching captive wolves wolves. Yeah, because captive wolves Act very differently in a social structure than compared to regular in the wild wolves. Mm-hmm This discussion about all of our brain opiates Makes me think about the initial research that i'm pretty sure you probably had to go over as well in one of your general classes Which was did you know?
Starting point is 02:06:50 That if you put a pigeon or a rat or some shit in a in a box and you give it a food button And a drugs button that the the the rat will fucking kill itself to death By getting cocaine high all day rat park is a myth You're talking about rat park and that has been disproven What Apparently rat park which is you got the drug button or you have the happy environment and that uh The the rat would if you introduce enough social things into its environment It doesn't press the drug button anymore
Starting point is 02:07:35 Apparently that whole thing the whole like rat park utopia study thing turned out to be again another misunderstanding of the results of a study um And that and i was told that it isn't exactly as clear cut as uh rat utopia changing the uh The desires of like if you put a rat by itself in a shitty box it presses the drug button until it dies But if you introduce
Starting point is 02:08:02 Uh enough things to its environment where it doesn't need to do that It'll be happy enough to live its life without that and it won't press it as often was the the simplified version of the event That's what is that what you were talking to talking about It was but you're kind of confusing multiple things okay i'm i'm reciting what i was the i'm trying to recite what i was told here You you are talking about like in a in a in a happier environment in terms of social situations
Starting point is 02:08:37 Right Would lead to less addiction but like the the the reason the the what do you call it the study was a problem Was that the end result of that study was that biological underpinnings have absolutely no result in drug addiction and that it's prove That it's all the drug addiction is all science. I'm sorry all uh social conditioning And it's like no there is absolutely a biological underpinning to psychological addiction but
Starting point is 02:09:07 Sorry, yeah to drug addiction, but like yeah, man Rats don't won't kill themselves easily with cocaine if they got pals That's all i'm saying How many rat utopia tests are there a lot actually they do tests on rats a lot sucks Okay for rats That it's okay if that's not the exact same stuff if that's not this the same study you're talking about then i'm not certain it's just that
Starting point is 02:09:37 It's sound that sounds similar to at least what i remember hearing about the original About like yeah, you have the social environment that gets introduced for and then the button that they that the rat goes to press And then I remember years later Again being told that okay, so it turns out that that whole thing is It's it's a popular study, but it turns out it was a misunderstanding and that it wasn't exactly as initially reported um And I feel as if like a lot of major studies that like I guess that become popularized in this way are prone to having these misunderstandings because you know, I feel like the stanford prison experiments obviously gets quoted enough that like
Starting point is 02:10:18 um Stanford really bums me out It the stanford prison experiment really depresses me dramatically You're you're familiar with the fact that that turned out to be manufactured did it so No, but I did hear there was something about it that was misleading But I didn't know the details of what it was if that's what it is then yeah, okay Then that would make perfect. Yeah, it came out that zimbardo actually gave them like instructions to be assholes
Starting point is 02:10:52 Okay, well there you go. It's like oh well there you go. Fuck see that's that's the thing it's a groundbreaking study That like it said all this shit something about it. I actually meant nothing. Yeah, I didn't know I didn't know what the specifics were but that there was something like that I get like I don't know. Yeah um, why all these scientists always lying and getting me pissed Magnets that's right. The only people you can trust Is violent jay and the other guy whose name I forget. I wish I I were better at uh
Starting point is 02:11:33 Re at hearing and reciting some of these things when I hear them because they sound very fascinating And I feel as if like nine out of ten times when I try to repeat them usually in front of a microphone uh It ends up being some horrible Misinterpretation of something in which case I'm like a dumbass for Interim realizing it that way and the in this case I would want to just call over punch bomb to just be like hey you studied this you know the answer What the fuck was it?
Starting point is 02:12:01 But in this particular you're more book smart than I am help me help me go through this And then then they're like I don't know what you're talking about Well, the problem is is just that like when you are you when you're talking for a couple hours and something reminds you of something You heard one time you try to reach in and and recount that to the best of your ability Um, I was once told the dogs can't look up I once caused a minor I once may have revealed to people the the dark truth That rats can't swim
Starting point is 02:12:41 Something that people are fighting me on to this day Wow Feels like it's an easily verifiable Facts if you just tested it. All right. So do you so this is how it happened? Okay? Well, I was playing a plague tale into that cool game that took place in like ancient. Oh, and then the water would stop them from attacking you The water would stop them from attacking but also on top of that We all know that rats Showed up on the boats like from trading vessels
Starting point is 02:13:13 Right, and that's how the the fleas got in and gave everybody the plague Well, if rats could swim they wouldn't have needed to take boats to go to europe Because they would just swim across the ocean and swim they would just swim air tight over airtight And that's why In the ending of plague tale they get on a boat Because they can't swim to america
Starting point is 02:13:39 Makes sense I mean Like What are the odds that like Some bird or like flying creature Uh, kind of like grabs one And just thinks it's dead But then accidentally drops it off on another island somewhere and then it somehow happens to be pregnant very very low
Starting point is 02:14:05 And the rat goes, ah, let me out very very low. So Yeah, I believe it. No They wild They would have they would have been They would have been here And Well, anyway That's why rats didn't get to other countries in the world from their starting point until boats were invented
Starting point is 02:14:34 Because how were they gonna get there they needed the boats, you know, can I just say that Like this job, I've said this before but this This job is Like I've can't believe how confident I felt in life About things that I was told Until the internet got involved and for all of you out there that are listening
Starting point is 02:15:03 I really like you I I pray That you don't have to experience this because it's really not fun. It really doesn't feel good But it's it's the start of the level of scrutiny into everything that you eventually discover that every other word out of your mouth Is like what that's not true and then you go wait and then you have to think back on who told you that when in what context And then you just go like Oh my god, like I just I don't know like my mom told me that one time or my friend said hey Did you know this everything? I believe a lie
Starting point is 02:15:39 And you and in every other seconds you end up having these little things, you know And like little trivia little tidbits little factoids early on in in the first couple years I remember we would have tons of moments of like We'd see something in a game or play something and I'd be like, oh that reminds me about uh, hey, did you hear that? You know, uh, that didn't happen. Yeah That's not real. Yeah, it's like oh this fruit was whatever or Bananas used to be like this or I don't know whatever the fuck and you just all these little weird You know little little things that like your uncle will throw at you and it's just like yeah
Starting point is 02:16:12 No, that's bullshit. You're like, uh, okay What? And just years and years and years later You realize it's like no like almost every single one Is at the very least like well, that's kind of how it happened But there's more to it than that and like I pray that you don't have to feel what it's like To literally have everything questioned in that way and then you go. All right I have no confidence in anything. I've ever been told anymore
Starting point is 02:16:44 You just lose all confidence in it and there's no other way to take it You know, it's it's fucking it's a trip, man I actually I was talking to somebody recently and they asked me like hey, does this job stress you out? I'm like enormously And the number one thing that stressed me out is the big eyeball Sitting in the sky at all times watching you listening to you everything you say is it stupid? Yes And that's how I take comfort
Starting point is 02:17:19 In letting everyone know that rats can't swim something that fills me with like and dogs can't look up like incredible joy And I mean it would be easy enough if I could just say that like oh, hey Yeah, my weird religious upbringing is to blame, but I'm like no like some of this came from my history teacher In grade 11 some of this came from You know like little fucking videos you might have watched when you were a kid on on on random tv shows or ranger rick magazine or You know world or owl or just you know what I mean? Like there's all these little things. We're like, oh, yeah I was told this once I saw this once there was an episode of this once
Starting point is 02:18:00 you know I mean I loved bullshit when it first came out like Based on the fact that I was like, oh my god like I remember hearing all of these things And then like I do and then bullshit was fantastic for being like yeah, it turns out that's that's fucking Nonsense and I was like wow Good job But they're magicians Magic isn't real the magic is bullshit magic itself is bullshit
Starting point is 02:18:28 But they that that's why they know the most about bullshit than than anyone else That's why they're the best at fucking deciphering and sniffing out what's what's garbage That show is great, but then when it started happening to everything I said Into a microphone for the last 10 years. Yeah, it fucking started creating anxiety attacks Yeah, well No, not quite not quite, but um, that's why you got that's why you got to sprinkle in some fun things Just sprinkle them in like uh
Starting point is 02:19:08 I don't know. I got nothing I rats can't swim is my favorite I keep going back to it because like oh man people get like people get Okay, I'm gonna pull the veil off of rats can't swim for for a few seconds get ready The fact that people will go no rats can swim I've seen it and you're just like no they can't is is like legitimately like Like why okay, I'm obviously lying. It's so it's so it's so clear It's so obvious. How can you not tell that I am obviously lying? It's so obvious So I while we were talking there Quickly just googled
Starting point is 02:19:51 pen and tellers bullshit episodes to see the list and the last episode Season eight episode 10 Was called vaccinations And I was like, oh no Oh, no, no, no Uh-oh, I watched that I watched that episode. Okay And you know what that episode is
Starting point is 02:20:17 Well, I looked at the synopsis and as trick yes Yes The the it is the episode is that there is no link between vaccinations and autism. Um, yeah Okay It's literally a trick. They're like They they they walk out and they start talking about vaccines and you're like holy shit
Starting point is 02:20:43 Are we what and then they're like Oh boy, and then they start talking about how vaccines fucking rule and you're like, oh It's it's seriously clickbait because like the the title comes up. Yes. Yes, and you're like, oh Oh, no However, the fact that that is the last episode of the show doesn't look great Yeah Looks very trouble. Also. It is it is like a nice bullet point on like what really matters, right? I
Starting point is 02:21:15 Suppose um Yeah, I'm shocked. They didn't do an episode because they're huge libertarians. I'm shocked. They didn't do an episode that was just like taxes The fed or the state. Yeah, I kind of I think I didn't I think I only got like five seasons in I didn't see like six to eight over here and I'm looking at like episode Season eight season eight episode one cheerleaders fast food
Starting point is 02:21:45 martial arts teen sex easy money area 51 old people Old people are bullshit when I was a teen I remember being a teenager and I had sex and let me tell you it was bullshit right And then again the the the title versus the description where it seems like it's more about people giving a fuck about teens having sex and and and
Starting point is 02:22:13 Freaking out about it and being overly Uh puritanical Which yeah, you know, we have it weird It's true No titties. All right, so what I do is my way. Yeah Uh aside from looking out my window and not seeing any swimming rats, which is we all know is the proof that it doesn't exist Um I didn't play or or uh, uh, do anything that crazy. I finished mando with page and plague season one very fun
Starting point is 02:22:49 Yeah, very. Oh, yeah season one I'm way behind but like the end of mando season one had a moment where it was like all that item That I'm shocked anyone but me remembered Came back. Oh, wow. Mm-hmm. Okay cool Rad very cool. Uh That I'm looking at that show. I'm like, man that show could have ended like right there and just be done It could have but I'm excited to see the the second season and um
Starting point is 02:23:25 And you know the again it It it could have ended there, but it doesn't feel like it would overstay. It's welcome if it didn't All right, absolutely All right, so I did that then Me and one peach saliva Uh, both did sponsored streams for a game called uh, outriders Which uh square enix is putting out so my people can fly
Starting point is 02:23:51 Did that uh last friday and then uh over the weekend We played a shit ton more outriders Because once again square enix the fools Sponsored us for something that was cool Um Outriders is how do I describe this? It's He didn't play remnant from the ashes, huh? No That was that dark souls third-person shooter that with like the loot system
Starting point is 02:24:25 It's Uh Not the asymmetrical one No, it feels like oh wow, okay somebody in chat nailed it. It's bullet storm diablo It's diablo in structure. You run through areas. You kill dudes. You get loot. You level up your character. You learn skills There's different classes magic man's but it Made by the bullet storm people or the I think it's did they also make
Starting point is 02:24:58 painkiller original I want to say they did for starters. Is it fun? Yeah, it's great. Okay It's spent like I wouldn't have played it all weekend and like leveled up a bunch of different characters If I didn't think it was great Uh, it's just a really solid Like action rpg with like a bunch of gear mechanics and level up mechanics and Like you you're shooting
Starting point is 02:25:26 Lightning and fire at people. It's it's great. Like it genuinely feels like a and it's a free to play like it No, it's a regular so that one of the funniest things about it Is when outriders originally got announced I mocked it for being another live service disaster Okay, and I'm not the only one So when we got it and we got the the the uh, you know the the the ad copy or the the the talking points In like massive capital letters. It's like Outriders is not a live service game. Okay, and I'm like, okay, let me go
Starting point is 02:26:10 Let me go and check this a bit more And the answer is that it is not a games as a service It's not a live service and they are not even calling it a loot game It is a action rpg That has loot and levels and stuff And it has an ending and it has an ending plus Like kind of mission stuff to level up your character. Okay, and then they have done interviews in which they say if the game sells pretty well We'll put out an expansion
Starting point is 02:26:38 Like a regular video game well because we got pitched some ads for it too And uh, I kind of went like yeah, I'll I'll take a look at and see what this is. Um, and at a glance I I It seemed like it was a gas game But it does it does from a distance. So it really it it the the the the like through line of Like what type of game it is
Starting point is 02:27:07 Goes like Diablo borderlands Outriders Like rpg that you you grab a character and run through the story and loot up and get all that stuff and maybe you put some items in your Slute and then you then you'll pick a different character and run your way through. Okay. Um It has The weirdest tone I've seen in a game in a while
Starting point is 02:27:34 because it is Like viciously grim dark. It's so upsetting Like it's so Like it's like What like they're talking about how like the rebel faction in the game is like eating their children because they're all starving Like it is it it's just horrible Except for your main character It's like dropping like like a fucking star lord character in
Starting point is 02:28:02 Where they're upset they didn't get to say their cool line or they're annoyed the guy they were escorting flew up But everyone around them Is in like nightmare world And is that a deliberate super functional decision? I don't know It's super weird It's like duke nukem went to warhammer 40k It's it's wildly inconsistent. Yeah, that sounds fucking
Starting point is 02:28:31 Okay, weird. It's it's it's often really weird. It's often legitimately really funny Because it's it's it's not How to put it it's not funny in the way that somebody tells a joke and it's funny It's funny in that the absurdity of the situation is kind of like darkly humorous So, I mean like does it play the music to make you feel sad about what you're seeing? And then no slapstick man walks in and and goes wabba wabba wabba Let me give you an example sure in the in an early sea in in the demo There's a bit where you have to go try and save a lieutenant
Starting point is 02:29:12 And you run into the lieutenant you kill a bunch of dudes and the lieutenant is digging his way out of a cave in With an enemy soldier and you help the enemy soldier out and he goes hey, hey, hey, hey We're we're like we're all working together here. Let's all chill and you go. Oh, yeah, okay And then you help the lieutenant out and he goes oh good work soldier And then he immediately shoots The guy that was helping him and then tosses a grenade after him and his body chunks Like almost onto the screen like there's a mist that fires out of the hole And your character goes seriously
Starting point is 02:29:50 And he starts giving a speech about what do you think is war we're gonna and then that guy gets just shot in the head And dies and your character goes why did I even bother doing this side quest at all? Why did I even do this because the guy you came to save is dead and you didn't achieve anything? There's a clip of it on a quiet-sized channel if you want to take a look at it Okay, am I sure it's not trying to be funny? I don't know because it's also trying to be like viciously dark There is a moment in the tutorial Where your character gets injured and then gets like basically you you land on a planet and it's completely normal and idyllic But then your character gets injured and then they get put in cryo and when they wake up out of cryo
Starting point is 02:30:33 They're in essentially world war one With monsters, okay, and they're like fish out of water and everything's crazy And you're going down a truck and you're going down a fucking tunnel that is like nothing but hanged corpses That are hanging against the truck. Okay, it's one of the darkest things. I've ever seen in a game And then like two minutes later the character's like wow, they're running away from me I'm a badass and then shooting like lightning bolts Like it's super weird. Yeah, I guess genuinely bizarre. I guess the question is is like are they meat gags? Or are they meant to be really like disturbing? You know
Starting point is 02:31:12 Both. Yeah, okay Like it's it's like did you ever play bull bull storm? No Bullet storm was like it's what was actually happening in bullet storm was a fucking nightmare Like it was it was like the end. It was like the that planet that gets fucked to death in um firefly Sure Like But your character is an idiot and is like screaming at jennifer hale that she'll kill the her dick And are like oblivious to the the existential nightmare horror
Starting point is 02:31:43 Of what's going on See, I don't like if well, you know, just based on what you're saying if it doesn't actually decide or have a clear One or the other that would that jarring this would probably start to get really grading at the further you went in because um The tone you establish I think is like Important to like create a lens that you're supposed to view it through in a way
Starting point is 02:32:13 Or at the very least give you some sort of indicator And if and if the whole point is to subvert that and fuck you up with it in the end Then so be it that that that that's your goal But like if you go in you go into half-life for example, and you see the The meat gag come flying out the tube and you go, all right That's meant to be a fucking gag, you know, um, yeah, or or you see like the way Like the cages of people are cubed together in doom and you're like, it's yeah, it's doom
Starting point is 02:32:42 You know what I mean? You're not going to think twice about it It's It's It's super weird. It feels it like your character's a fish out of water and they act like a fish out of water Because they have Like it's a it's a world in which everyone's been fighting a 31 year war war against nightmares and mutants and People who eat babies. Yeah, and your dude just woke up from a nap from like a stroll and I was like, hey guys I have powers. You know super. It's super bizarre. Now you played you played
Starting point is 02:33:16 Duke Nukem forever, right? I did you remember When that starts getting into the like alien pregnant Burthing levels and whatnot. Yeah. Yeah, where you and Duke is like Yeah, they're dead. Yeah, my the Olsen twins are now alien preggers. Oh man, and yeah, it it is and then they just pop and you're like Okay, like these like ridiculous Things where they go to the maximum. Yeah, this has reeled it back. Okay, and so it's like it's weird It's not upsetting
Starting point is 02:33:52 Uh, I actually really dig the tone honestly. Okay I it's I find it really interesting And more importantly than that like the actual shoot and get gun and use magic power is fantastic Like I absolutely love it cool Uh, that's pretty much all I played for the oh I played more Persona 5, uh Strikers scramble strikers whatever the fucking game is called. Yeah, uh, hey, it's really good
Starting point is 02:34:24 It's really really really really excellent. Yep. I I installed that bought it and uh, I'm gonna be playing that with punch mom Um, so it might take a while to get through but we're gonna go through it together now that we both know I'm interested in seeing what you think of the villains Okay Because the villains are of a very different type than the ones in Uh p5 Well, I saw based on that trailer. There's the pink haired girl that seems to be like a kind of like posh pop Jase j-pop star looking girl
Starting point is 02:34:55 Um, did you manage so you streamed a bit of it? You're and you were fine. I guess just doing a bit of it I streamed like three hours of the second dungeon. Okay Like fucking dead ass middle of the not important Does there yet exist a video that is Royale only catch-up content? No Damn Oh, I mean probably but I didn't watch it because I still plan on planning on going through royal
Starting point is 02:35:23 Okay, however because scramble slash strikers was in development alongside royal None of the royal content is actually in Strikers to the point where they will make throw away lines that royal happened But it it it makes no apps. It absolutely makes no Influence on the plot. So you mentioned that last week and that's what kind of gave me the like I'm like, okay I I won't worry about going in It's a sequel to persona 5 not to persona 5 royal, right? But I still like I would I I really hope there is a like nice little royal compilation royal only compilation somewhere
Starting point is 02:36:07 So probably the the weirdest thing about it is like um Like both of the persona 5 spin-off games Went new character redhead. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm cute redhead go. Mm-hmm I can say from just that title screen or at the very least the um the idle Across media bar screen like the fucking music already sounds banging. Oh, it's great. Oh Oh, it's so good. The remix of last surprise is incredible Weird issue though, um
Starting point is 02:36:42 That that game has for some reason Uh once you buy it you can't go back to it on the PSN store page like Only this game for like because I wanted to I walk because I I went I watched the trailer and then I bought it And then when I was telling punch mom about it. I wanted to Show her the trailer So I went to the PSN store and then like returned to the store page for the game
Starting point is 02:37:11 But instead it just brings you to the bonus content page And you can no longer look at the game page to Watch the trailer So I was like, oh that sucks. I like going back to the why don't you just go to the library? Uh, you can do that But it just leads you to the bonus content page again Like it no matter what link to p5 strikers you you click on it leads you to the
Starting point is 02:37:35 Bonus content play now screen and that's it Um, so I was like, that's a weird issue bug with this With this thing, but yeah, um Sounds fucking sick. You get to you get to carry over content depending on where your save file is Oh, shit. Okay. Okay Uh p5 and p5 royal give you and what it is is it's music from respective things Okay, so on
Starting point is 02:38:05 If you have joker in smash They give you something on the switch version I think it's funny. Okay. And if you have a percent of five a percent of five a royal save they give you something And on pc you get nothing. Okay. Well, I'm gonna have to stick up and make sure that works then Yeah Huh cool If you hear disgusting snort noises, excuse me. I'm washing a dog over here Okay, well, uh

Starting point is 02:43:07 Iggy just farting in your face is not that hyperbolic real real real. Yeah. Yeah real for sure. Absolutely Absolutely Tell you what though you can't hear the ocean Hmm Man, I heard I've heard dogs ripping it up. I've never heard a cat fart I have heard a cat fart I've heard that cat fart. Hmm. In fact page went to pet. He's on his cat tree right next to us Page went to pet him last night and he literally just farted at her
Starting point is 02:43:43 To say I don't want to be pet right now Okay, fair enough and it was like a tiny little brat. Hmm Yeah, I know I've heard I've heard dogs just ripping ass, but um, I guess they have heard a cat Yeah All right. Well, anyway, I got on a cat usually What's going down elden ling elden ling You're doing it
Starting point is 02:44:12 You did it you fucking nailed it elden ring leak That's about to say elden ling reek. Um, but yeah stinky There that go Uh talked about that. We certainly already did Uh, I don't need to linger too long on this one Uh, neither do you but hey anthems dead Yeah Anthem 2.0 aka anthem next no one has been officially canceled and that's the end of that
Starting point is 02:44:53 There will be no, uh, no man's sky story for that Everyone remember this the next time anyone talks to anyone at ea about their plans for any future game ever Well, here's the fun part right is So the not fun part is how uh people that were getting geared up and staffed on this project to Bunkered out and do some big revamp work Because they had just like hired a bunch of people and put a team together and then just kind of went. Ah, you know what fuck it
Starting point is 02:45:27 um Which is a bit wild, but hey thanks ea Simultaneously alongside that news this week Comes the other news Where they say hey, you know what? Uh, they're going to be giving their studios creative freedom To do whatever they're they want and they're going to be backing off on approvals more specifically
Starting point is 02:45:51 In the case of titanfall 3 So that respawn can make it if they wanted to So basically they didn't uh They did an interview with the ceo currently And uh laura miele said, uh, yeah that They're basically putting it in the student putting green lighting above new games in the studio's hands and uh They're giving them a level of freedom to create whatever projects they want to make
Starting point is 02:46:27 I don't believe them I Just straight up just don't believe them. I mean hey, uh, at the if the public buck has been passed then I don't see why the studio could not then Come out and use the same if it's if it's not true But if they say things that keep like Like
Starting point is 02:46:55 Basically if respawn were to then go all right cool. So now we're officially doing it Like could ea then go behind the scenes and be like nah, fuck you and not have have this lead to disastrous What they would do What they would do is if you want to make titanfall 3 you need to hit these milestones And they're impossible milestones Uh Looking for the exact quote. Oh, yeah, they did say that apex was done without ea entirely. I remember that that was a while ago Um apex takes place in the titanfall world respawn team is incredibly proud of that legacy and brand
Starting point is 02:47:34 The team will determine what the future holds for apex and titanfall I don't believe in directing or telling game teams what to create It has come it has to come from the player community and inspiration And motivation of the developers Well On paper That says that uh, it's up to it's a respawn if they want to do it or not Now we were told some time ago that there was no there was like three
Starting point is 02:48:02 Titanfall related projects that were not apex One was a vr experience that's probably gone The other was another thing that's not titanfall 3 that's also titanfall related. That's probably gone And then we also were told pretty much indirectly that titanfall 3 is not being worked on by any of the staff So They announced they kind of hinted at three projects that are all sort of not happening in a way. So Uh, I don't know what the fuck is going on. Um This news as well is is is them stepping out of the way basically going
Starting point is 02:48:40 Yeah, we're not holding them back if and and whether or not that's true remains to be seen But it feels as if like this is all just gearing up for respawn to have to come out and go. All right. Well I guess we are or are not doing it A buck has been passed This feels like it should be good, but I bet it sucks If they don't I mean I mean if they just the only thing that that's If they just announced apex 2
Starting point is 02:49:19 But there's titans in it I'll take that That's fine. I'll take that Uh, the only thing that I know for 100 came out of the anthem thing Is that they went to the dragon age team doing four and they're like, okay, it doesn't have to be a live service It can just be a single player game Oh, yeah Well, I mean, could you imagine bioware having to fucking
Starting point is 02:49:46 Advertise dragon age as a live service after they just literally dropped their last one It'd be impossible Um So then We got you know what fuck it. No, let's just this might take a minute. So let's just go here Hey Hey Hey pat. Yeah, what's up pokemon
Starting point is 02:50:28 Do you mean that game for babies pocket monsters Oh man I I legit like woolly. I I really have to say Seeing you just tweet the word pokemon and like only mutuals may reply to this gave me a fucking good ass belly laugh Like oh Oh, you got me good. Why is everyone so mad about these games all the time? And yes, I know I'm referring to myself But like I'm looking at the fucking game and it's got the chibi arts and everyone's shitting their asses
Starting point is 02:51:11 Lee looks cute So two games were announced As well as a post Malone crossover Which is some wild shit, but that's fine. Oh, do you want to oh that post Malone thing put me through a loop I'll tell you. Hey man post Malone is allowed to be wholesome Okay, but no like I got boomered out the other day. Did you? Yeah, because people are talking because I was streaming and people were like, oh the post Malone
Starting point is 02:51:44 Pokemon concerts in like a half hour And I'm like, why are they holding a concert for pokemon in Malone, New York? Like that place is a shithole And I'm like what And then I had to look him up and I was like, oh No, no, you knew who he was because we made reference to his tattoos You knew who he was who you're talking about when you're talking about tattoos We made reference to the fact that he has the best face tattoo saying always tired on his face
Starting point is 02:52:20 I remember that but I don't remember. I didn't remember the guy's name was post Malone Well, I'll be honest when you talk about musical acts, I just pretend that I know who you're talking about. I see. Okay So then I suppose me saying that As unlikely as a fit as it seems it's better than going with the ever colorful Takeshi six nine See, I knew that guy because he's a criminal. Okay. Okay Because the colors and the brand and the the goofy excitement might, you know Might be a little bit more pokemon friend. That guy loves he's the snitch, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's super down Yeah, okay, and then he came out and then like he double snitched by like he like got on
Starting point is 02:53:09 Video call he got on like Skype or fucking zoom with them and started Extra snitching hard and telling them they were idiots and fuck them and shit and dudes dudes insane Um loves it Super omega final god tier snitch Yep Good for him Question mark Well, he also like beat the shit out of his pregnant girlfriend. So
Starting point is 02:53:37 All right I'm gonna rich. I'm glad I added that question mark. Good job. I'm gonna cross that question mark out. Good job. Cross the whole sentence out. It's good So, you know Uh Yeah Gooba though anyway So this, uh Announcement apparently
Starting point is 02:54:01 Uh was one for Some remakes of the seno region Uh pokemon Brilliant diamond and shining pearl Oh, that makes sense. Mm-hmm. I was expecting shining diamonds, but maybe I was just listening too hard for jojo isms But anyway, um I'm legit confused. Why is everyone yelling that the seno remake looks like trash? It looks like a 3d version of the sprites Yeah
Starting point is 02:54:35 seems Seems like it. I mean if it were a new game that were Like doing that look again Then you we talked about it with sword and shield, right? If it were if it were a new game that we're doing that again, it'd be like god damn it again But like considering it's a remake of an older thing. I'm like that that's fine. It's a remake of an older thing I'm like, I like I wouldn't expect it to understand because like Pokemon fans are literally getting a remake of an old game like every two or three years. Yes, they're idiots and they'll buy it
Starting point is 02:55:06 Um, and they wanted that particular one for a while if I remember correctly Sino's been a thing that people have been clamoring for for a long time Which is why I laughed quite heartily when that nintendo fandom tweet rankings chart came out Which I don't know if you saw it but It basically categorizes list of nintendo fandoms and it's really great Um
Starting point is 02:55:38 I will I will see if I can retweet that Uh Basically it puts You know a bunch of things like the quietly tolerable fans are fans of kittakuris rhythm heaven yoshi's island the wuji's mansion Why are you aware? um, yeah, yeah, yeah bitter but righteous golden sun mario and luigi and uh Uh
Starting point is 02:56:07 Fuck We'll stop damnit Anyway, it goes on there's a whole bunch of there's a whole bunch of things Consumed by spitefire emblem fans and zelda fans A few more beasts than men mother f zero paper mario fans but then Glutons who would not be satisfied with all the riches in heaven animal crossing
Starting point is 02:56:32 Smash brothers and pokemon That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah like damn strong strong memes Kirby fans generally pleasant nice I see some photo. Uh, I mean I like I uh, how do I put this? Like I can understand people don't care for the art style because it looks like baby and it's it's like Like a 3d one for one remake of like a fucking nintendo ds game But like
Starting point is 02:57:10 Pokemon looks like trash Like i'm not saying like the game is trash like the games are fun Pokemon looks like fucking garbage the game freak doesn't give a shit Oh, did will they die? What's going on? I was just coughing. Sorry. Oh, okay. Yeah. No, it's like Like there's no money for pokemon it's it's gonna look like shittier than a mobile game Right fucking live with it. So so Like well again, I for me going back to the the new the last game's announcement sword and shield and stuff
Starting point is 02:57:47 The thing was damn it. You're just doing it again. You're just you're not gonna go any further with it then, huh? and This time announced remake. It's the shibbi art style. It is what it is. It's but it's you know modern They're bringing the region back and and they're bringing these versions back. So, you know, you get those those dexes Sure And I was like, okay, and then I saw people were very upset about that and then the next game announcement was for um uh
Starting point is 02:58:15 pokemon legends and the trailer for pokemon legends is a giant 3d open world game and It's not the most amazing looking 3d world But no, I believe You can quote me a couple
Starting point is 02:58:37 times throughout the years saying When are they gonna make the game where you can just pan the camera up and They're giving it a shot god bless. Yeah, it's got so no frame rate whatsoever No frame rate. It's not allowed to have a frame rate But god bless. They're actually trying an action game style System where you walk around a world to scale And you go in the bushes and you catch a pokemon and you throw out a thing and it fights and So that is that is progress with game freak
Starting point is 02:59:17 So it's like yeah Go for legends the one being made by the main team or is the remake being the one made by the I don't know But if this is what you've got to make to try out Baby steps in the you know if you've got to take these little dips in the pool before you go to the next thing Then fucking do it By all means so I mean I'm I think it's nice that they're actually going for it for once
Starting point is 02:59:46 I had a a lot of thoughts about this on twitter where I was uh, I would I would actually say this is one of the few times I'm actually intentionally riling people up because I'm sick of this argument because it's like So, uh, when I mentioned hey guys get over it game freak doesn't have any money to spend on the way pokemon is It's always going to look like garbage The same things I see is like how could it have no money? It's the most popular franchise in the world
Starting point is 03:00:15 It's been like this for 10 years yada yada, and it's like this is literally Exactly the same thing that happened with sword and shield and sun and moon ultra and sun and moon like it's it's it's It's like it's the The the the question is somebody asked like how can you not understand how people are so mad? It's like no, I can't understand how people who are still mad Still care about pokemon Because it's never gonna change This like this arceus game this legend of arceus that takes place in the past
Starting point is 03:00:52 Is legitimately the most interesting thing pokemon has ever done It's the first time there's ever been a real change to any part of the formula fucking for once besides like pokemon snap Yeah, but that's like a spin-off besides spin-offs. Yeah. Yeah, no Yeah, like it like they have been remaking like people are complaining about the way the seno remake looks Like they've been remaking red and blue for 25 years with various levels of ugly graphics Like it does like it's it doesn't matter. I was talking about monster hunter in comparison I mean the name legends arceus does Put it in spin-off category
Starting point is 03:01:39 But uh Yeah, but uh It is like yeah, go ahead So let's take monster hunter, right? So, uh, I was uh, yeah, fuck it. Let's take uh, what's it called gigamax? The way you make your pokemon big Is that what's called? Okay. I have friends that are Crazy about pokemon. They're fucking crazy. They have living dexes
Starting point is 03:02:04 right And they were telling me oh dynamax Georgia cancer whatever they were telling me how they actually really liked dynamax and The the thing that upsets them the most about pokemon by far is that literally every single pokemon comes out and it falls either the it follows the red and blue template and one big new feature it's either mega evolution or dynamax or
Starting point is 03:02:32 Uh fucking z moves or whatever the fuck and it is gone at the next game. It's not tweaked. It's not integrated It's not messed with it's gone It's always the same game plus one new thing And I think about monster hunter or monster hunter one sucks and it came out like 15 I don't even know it was a ps2 game. It's a long time ago And in the second game they added tons of moves to the different guys and they added lots of new weapons and types of areas and then in the third game they added swimming which was terrible and in the fourth game They took the ideas they had from swimming and mixed some of the stuff around and then they add climbing and mounting
Starting point is 03:03:11 Ounsters and jumping off of shit and every single game. Yeah, I would take some old features away But it would also add some new ones and integrate some older ones so that when you play monster hunter rise Compared to monster hunter world, which are one game apart There's a huge amount of new features, but they're obviously still monster hunter Pokemon's been like almost the same game for like 25 fucking years. It's ridiculous It's fucking stupid The fact that people are still finding it within their fucking heart to get mad about this For however many fucking years it's been is so absurd
Starting point is 03:03:51 Like you're mad about the Sinnoh remake looking like babies What you weren't mad about like fucking 10 pokemon games in a row not being able to be discerned at a glance by the average person So, yeah It's baby steps towards progress and it is it's like the only thing That uh, I've been asking about for a long ass time now. Happy to see it. I will Happy to see it. I will totally buy Unless it's complete trash. I will absolutely buy legends. Absolutely. Absolutely because it is act it like god damn it
Starting point is 03:04:30 It's something. Yep. The core concept of pokemon is so strong And they've done nothing with it and this might actually be something The I saw somebody just say you can apply this to zelda I did apply it to zelda. Do you remember me yelling about how much I hated skyward sword? That was the same thing The but much better the opening couple of minutes of detective pikachu Where you get to see
Starting point is 03:05:03 A hint of what that might look like if they gave a shit Where it's like in the real world where they're they're in the forest and they're going and they you know They have the whole little like Capture scene or whatever and it's just like yeah, just just take that idea and deliver that in a game form and the Like it's just I don't again. Yeah 15 years however, however long it's been at this point like This looks like like they might actually nail it and if they don't like it's a step towards what the next thing might be
Starting point is 03:05:34 You know What what what are you did pokemon come out? red blue 98 99 98 would make it to 96. Okay. Okay I want So i'm well aware of game series like dragon quests that go for like a traditional aesthetic Right and go for a traditional thing and they vary it up and they try and make it quality, right, but like
Starting point is 03:06:02 You know what else came out in 1996 Red is the evil one Look at the fucking gap in in in fucking scope and quality Super mario 64 and Tekken 2 came out that year for fuck's sake Like there's so much fucking shit front mission one sieve two men 96 was rad now This is a handheld franchise star handheld franchise of course. Yeah, sure Let's compare it to another handheld franchise. Okay. I have an idea Uh when did monster hunter freedom unite come out it came out in 2008
Starting point is 03:06:58 What pokemon game came out In 2008 x y Fuck in The last pokemon game. Oh platinum the fucking diamond and pearl Combined game right. Okay. Okay. So in between monster hunter 2 And rise Is the game they're remaking I
Starting point is 03:07:33 What a perfect fucking analogy Yeah So I I the thing with the anger on this one is that waiting into the comments. I legitimately couldn't understand it Like I oh, yeah, like I could not understand What the the anger was about I mean like the the The way it looks Seems to be like the major thing with both games cases and In both of those cases as again as we covered it's like that's that's a forsaken cause
Starting point is 03:08:08 If you if you were in on the last couple generations But there were a lot of comments that were just not really elaborating on what the problem was It was just god. Fuck this shit the pain of being a pokemon fan And I'm like you're looking at a fucking like All the riches in the world being handed to you And a giant like big event and all this anniversary shit and whatever else the fuck is going on with it um and pokemon snap and whatever and
Starting point is 03:08:37 It it just it was like I I I legitimately couldn't wrap my head around it. I'm just I'm just gonna I'm dodging this entire fucking thing like fuck that You know, uh But hey For once it good on you graham game freak for once it It's like The the the anger is why can't they treat
Starting point is 03:09:00 Pokemon like they treat breath of the wild Right and the answer is because they refuse to spend the money or the time So get over it get over it Like you should have gotten over it like for fuck's sake. I was complaining about this when I literally bought diamond and pearl I bought diamond and pearl and I remember playing it and I beat it was the last pokemon game I beat and I was like I'm kind of surprised that this many years in it's not that much different from my friends telling me about Red and blue, but not only do they need not need to do not only do they not Spend the money of the time they don't need to
Starting point is 03:09:34 Demonstrated by the fact that they're able to be successful without doing it Pokemon games are one Degree of quality away from being football games, right, right, right, right. Yep Because they're gonna sell it doesn't matter all the complaining about sword and shield bestselling pokemon in ages And and again like you know the the sword and shield it's like at the very least Even within your same restricted shit fucking budget Even though you don't want to ever rock the boat too hard. Just fucking try
Starting point is 03:10:15 Just try and it's It's it's this thing where it's like, hey, I'm like wide or people mad But I'm yelling like it's kind of and it's it's it's that it's the indignation of like I can't I can't believe madden is terrible this year again. How could they do this stop buying it? Stop buying it. Yeah. No, that's never an option. Don't don't don't buy it every year. You idiot. No, uh, no Oh, okay, baby wants his bottle. I guess keep stabbing your dick. Yeah Yeah, no exactly So, yeah, uh
Starting point is 03:10:54 smh my head Fucking embarrassing look And and like it's it's It's Whenever it drops, you know when it drops, I'm sure that frame rate will not be any better I'm sure Uh, uh, all of the it'll it'll have to be better than that trailer. That's real fast. I don't think so dude I think it'll be very much like nope
Starting point is 03:11:22 This is what we're doing This is the amount of money we're willing to spend on it You're gonna play this game with whatever fucking frame rate we serve to you and that'll be that this feel this feels like Like literally the richest company in the world is going look It's it's the most important thing in the world and they hand you like deadly premonition one Look we made it for you I like they have so much money They have oh you so much money
Starting point is 03:11:57 It's crazy how much money they have I I was just about to ask you like the most like Mean question about a game possible Because I was gonna ask you have you uh looked at klems's video detailing little town hero. I have it So the reason why that's mean is that my brain didn't even go to have you played or seen Little town hero because no you wouldn't have Why would you have bothered that's how low that Hey, so I watched klems's video on little town hero if you're interested you should check it out. Guess what that game sucks What is it
Starting point is 03:12:37 It's uh, it's a shitty rpg where you walk around a town like a board game and fight monsters that attack the town Yeah, okay Uh the the one of the final points of klems's review, which you should check out so legitimately good Is that toby fox composed a lot of music for it? Oh Uh and the music's incredible And the final boss fight is so bad and so annoying that klems is like I got really tired of toby's music Wow Okay, that's how bad
Starting point is 03:13:07 The fucking thing is Well, that's that yeah, pokemon company killing it. I I can I'm still I'm still amazed that um No pokemon clones beat game freak to the punch on making a legends like game in the meantime If anything, you know, no one just went for the the big unreal open world Field And just put a bunch of monsters in it and went all right go collect them and battle them and do your thing I mean honestly, will he depending on
Starting point is 03:13:48 Depending on who you ask and how broad you want that to be like A lot of atlas games fit that exact template didn't didn't uh, oh sure Yeah, you could you could if you with the demons you could say that I suppose But didn't temtem still look like it was you know, uh isometric or not isometric, but top view Temtem didn't look like they were trying to break the mold too much on that right? No, no, no, um and like
Starting point is 03:14:20 Digimon is more of a traditional rpg Was there actually a pokemon like clone that was a large open world environment Where you'd go into the forest or the different Locations and and environs and yes catch the monsters open like that. There's two. Oh, what was it? Yeah Nino kuni, okay There's one okay, and it's nino kuni And there is an argument to be made that nino kuni is like the best pokemon game Yokai watch some people are saying fuck yokai watch
Starting point is 03:15:00 I That was a giant open world I Yokai watch is so fucking weird I don't know much about it other than the ff 14 weapons look like trash Because it's all watch because it's a watch Because when I see like footage of that it still looks like Pokemon angle pokemon style. Yeah
Starting point is 03:15:36 So I didn't why I wasn't given the impression that that's exactly lunch just sitting on The table for 25 years that nobody took Mm-hmm. Oh the fourth one did it Ah Okay Well, did that even come out here? I have no idea All right, so there are examples There are a few examples. It did not
Starting point is 03:16:06 Hmm Well No one you know what some people did take some of that lunch from the table But no one took enough of it that it made an impact enough that I guess we heard about it In that way that being said man, dude Like I think my favorite part of this whole thing is as pokeman fans. We're getting super angry Uh, the pokemon official twitter account was like, hey guys, we just announced some stuff
Starting point is 03:16:31 What do you think is the most underrated pokemon? And it really showed off like the intelligence level of the average person we were dealing with here Because they were all like pikachu Under yeah, I don't know most underrated. Yeah. Yeah charizard pikachu. It's just like yeah Jesus Exactly exactly Holy shit doesn't say your favorite, but shut up. It's my favorite. I don't want to talk about anything else shut up Yeah, imagine the imagine the shodos only feeling
Starting point is 03:17:03 like infinitely deeper and stronger Uh Pikachu super underrated man. He's still the best Yeah, I saw that tweet. I choose not to evolve him because ash didn't ash is a loser He won that one time Did he I he did win one season of the anime tournament at some point. Are you sure? He did yes
Starting point is 03:17:38 There was a big whole thing about it where they it was literally a top news story There was a news story that was shared on multiple mainstream news Uh, uh, uh sites that was ash has finally won a league tournament championship Oh, thank god Only took him 20 years and his like art style looks completely different now He looks like a different person practically, but yep. I did see that Uh, anyway, so, you know congratulations 10 years old. Yes It's okay
Starting point is 03:18:17 unapologetically Uh, congratulations to pokemon fans you've gotten Much much in in these recent announcements and uh Eat the food enjoy the food Enjoy it Or don't buy it or don't buy it. Yeah, that's it. No, that's not gonna happen. Those are your Those are your choices. Nope. Nope. No, uh
Starting point is 03:18:49 Never gonna happen I mean like like I like the fact that they did Both a remake and and and and an experimental new direction thing And they both gave them the exact non budgets that can be expected, but they even went for it is like Yeah, I I'm like Just like put your hands up and just go like fine. No fine Just just take that take that and see whatever that turns into because if legends obviously goes on to become a thing with Multiple entries in it. You could assume that by the time they hit legends 4
Starting point is 03:19:23 It might not have that frame rate issue anymore and and it might actually run kind of decent. No, no It'll get worse It'll get worse Uh No, seriously watch legends come out and they'll be like wow look at this incredible world. Are you ready to catch a whopping 40 pokemon? Look we gave them animations So I went back and I'm looking at the tweet and it's literally It's not just hey, what's your favorite underrated? Oh, what's the most underrated pokemon and then
Starting point is 03:20:02 It not only is it Pikachu, Storlax, Lucario, Charizard, but it's all in the same screenshot Because they're one right under the other Fucking hacks All right, what else is you don't like the darkest moment in monster hunter history is Is when they fucking put out monster hunter try on the we and it had 18 monsters Well, wasn't the world number even the lowest world monster was like 40 Oh world monster was like I think was 35 at launch and by the end of the world it was like 45
Starting point is 03:20:54 Like it was it was 18. It was oh my god. Wow. It was so bad Like so i'm just thinking of like Check out Our cs legends where you can catch like imagine if they said the monsters that we had seen and there's like 10 more Right, right all your favorites Um God and then there was that whole pokemon go side fucking quest That happened. Yeah, we yeah
Starting point is 03:21:36 Anyway What a time If you don't want perk up park park park park tar You don't want pokemon to hurt you So if you don't want pokemon to hurt your feelings anymore stop caring about it Turn your back on it speaking of remakes forever entertainment Who were behind the panzer dragoon saga remake Have signed a deal with square enix to create several more remakes
Starting point is 03:22:08 You wish they were behind the panzer dragoon saga remake They were behind the panzer dragoon remake And they're gonna make zwei next Yes And now everyone's like please god damn it, please remake saga. Let me play saga please So now they're being hired to make all kinds of remakes Hopefully it's hopefully it's zwei orta and saga Why is there so much confusion
Starting point is 03:23:08 Looking at the site announcement for this and it's all in polish So that would be good. Yeah, okay. I can't get the full Gists, but the google that would be some confusion Does say that They are here for making remakes several remakes based on Brands owned by the japanese company. Okay Sure Those games are great. I want more of them
Starting point is 03:23:43 Could be anything squares making though doesn't specify exactly what um, what in particular But remake there, but they have Made a deal to make several remakes of games Now to be fair there was an era back in the day where square would put out a lot of Experimental shit, I'll say like You know, I feel like maybe I'm just not paying attention as much anymore, but like there there used to be a Really diverse You know release schedule of square games over the years with shit like ironhander
Starting point is 03:24:26 and and project silphied and and uh Uh, I always say end of eternity because I forget the the other name of it Uh, something of fate Resonance of fate there you go Um Yeah a lot of weird shit
Starting point is 03:24:52 God bless the ring Then a square also had a bunch of shit to announce with the sony one FF7 remake integrate integrate Interguard we're back to stupid fucking names everybody Seven r.i more importantly We're back to stupid fucking expansion characters
Starting point is 03:25:29 And ever looming threat of gacked Ticks closer The gacked clock is one hour closer to midnight never been more real It's so close because if you're bringing in Durge of Cerberus and you're bringing in bringing the final boss of wise or Or you know, you're bringing in dirge That means redemption And redemption is one step away
Starting point is 03:25:59 from um Uh genesis fucking whatever the fuck he was called I don't know the red dude It's just no but he had the special final boss name for the who gives a shit the fully powered up version Uh, yeah, we're getting real close Real real rap sodius. There you go genesis genesis rap sodius So I have I have a very bizarre piece of news that wasn't part of the announcement So final fancy seven remake integrate is the ps5
Starting point is 03:26:39 probably pc version Of ff7 r which will include the yufi kisaragi chapter with the other side group of avalanche New character hanging out while that you were hanging out with otherwise. Oh, they were there the whole time Mu tie infiltrate moogle costume Yada yada and there's a girl there. She's just clearly designed by namur or blouse wraps over tits and but animals bellbell Like yep, yep, and you get it free if you own ff7 remake Uh on the ps4
Starting point is 03:27:14 Right, that's nice ps5 version, right? You get it. You get free. It's an upgrade And ff7 remake is Free on ps plus right now Wait, but if you get the ps plus version Of ff7 r you don't get the free upgrade to integrate on the ps5 If you get wait, you get wait, hold on you get the ps5 version, but the integrate version is not free. Oh, that's so confusing. Oh my god Okay, hold on a second here. Hold on a second here. What are you talking about? Let's let's fact check this real quick
Starting point is 03:27:55 Okay ff7 remake integrate in ff7 Intergrade is launching on june 10th For ps4 and ps5 it is available as a free upgrade for sony's next-gen console for those who already own it on the ps4 um But the enhanced visuals and framerate boost and such will only be on the next-gen console Okay, no if you own the ps4 version of integrate you can get the ps5 version. Oh god, that's so confusing That's just having both of the same version of the thing
Starting point is 03:28:36 It's not at all a free thing for remake owners All right Yeah I'm I'm gonna stream that when it comes out Yeah, yufi's gonna have all her moves and do all her stuff And then she's gonna reshow up in the story later Yeah, then then stuff She'll be like who are you they'll be like who are you and you'll then yufi will be like i knew you were there the whole time
Starting point is 03:29:09 And then your save data will be like look it's all the shit you left on her Do you think that yufi will still call tifa boobs? I I Don't think that's gonna get through But I think something I hope something equally funny makes it through I doubt they're gonna do that You
Starting point is 03:29:38 Honkers beefers milkers Yeah, there it is just lean all the way in Or just or just call her moo moo Yeah, moo cow moo Mm-hmm Perfect. Okay, miss moo moo sow silky milky utter bitch. I don't have time for you. I need to do ninja stuff Uh, so that is Dropping a little bit later
Starting point is 03:30:17 Um boy that generic main character guy looks like some new main character generic man Oh, you mean sonon I want to say karabi. It's not karabi. They said yeah, so yeah, they said it last name didn't they Something But hey, he's sitting there in the in the artwork of her looking out over the city. So they read a dead shot sitting in Death yeah Yeah, no, he's gonna get got he's gonna get got by weiss Yeah, no for sure weird for sure
Starting point is 03:30:55 Unless character shows up on screen. It's like oh look a talking grave unless you know unless unless but also Is is is he gonna put on a shirt? when you fight him Or is he just gonna be the shirtless crazy hair man again They actually talked about that in an interview
Starting point is 03:31:17 About how they had to change the design to give him a shirt Oh Yeah, all right, they're like we wanted to make him look different this time. So he gave him clothes cool Yeah, he's he's a vr boss cool, okay Of course, did you think he wasn't gonna squeeze his stuff in there? He's absolutely waiting for it You know to set the record straight
Starting point is 03:31:55 Um They're gonna Have to make a decision about gact though at some point Because he's not directing the next game, right? Like they said a new director the co-director of remake is taking over for the next game They're gonna have to make a decision about Soldier g
Starting point is 03:32:19 And and and they're gonna have to you know actually Commit to it write it out or redo it completely differently Yeah And I don't think it's gonna happen um Gax is gonna come out of his pod and you're gonna see the pod open from a front view shot Then you're gonna go behind the pod from three-quarters angle and the pod door will open towards the camera And you'll see a figure step out with his back
Starting point is 03:32:48 shrouded by the the door and then An explosion will go off due to time shenanigans and he'll go My face Ah, my face is burned. Ah And my voice ah burned my throat my voice And now and as he rise on the ground and burns and screams in the background you just hear redemption
Starting point is 03:33:23 Perfect and then Steve Bloom's voice will come out of his voice. Yeah, I can't believe I'm the soldier. It's me soldier I'm doing a wolverine voice never thought never thought you'd see me again The original soldier me and seferoff don't you remember? Yeah There you go. That's how it's gonna happen. Yeah right there I mean like I'm like it's either that or they go, you know, what fuck it and they give gacked the phone call and then
Starting point is 03:34:01 They get ready for this big old promotional cross fucking push campaign thing And then on the eve of the announcement gacked goes on and says some embarrassing shit about woman again And then they go, oh no Oh god. Oh, jeez Oh Geez
Starting point is 03:34:28 Gacted Yes, well anyway it regacted. Yeah. Yeah, so they also announced ff7 ever crisis and uh, this which is way more interesting This is fucking interesting Because for a long time I remember bringing up To to empty rooms. I would just stand in an empty room and go, okay, but what about before crisis though? Yeah, and the empty room would not reply the empty room would a lot of stuff happens in before crisis And I'm like people who speak english don't know about because you're never gonna get to play. Oh wait
Starting point is 03:35:10 What now empty room? I hear you and I hear your points. However Look at this artwork of all the turks And all these members that are very important and the founding of the group And and all this important shit that happens before the story And all these members of avalanche that make barrett look fucking reasonable and calm by comparison And the empty room continues to just blow wind in my direction and I'm like, you know what fair enough No one asked. I apologize for even bringing it up but apparently now
Starting point is 03:35:50 This project has decided to make noise About before crisis which was prior to now locked on cell phones Uh in the handset era of japan And then I think the no wait there was a fan translation project at some point. I think um anyway, this is gonna be a Story about a young seferoff It's a command style rpg that retells
Starting point is 03:36:17 Advent children in game form and before crisis new chapters every month with shibi characters and um Yeah, it seems to just be a vehicle Don't don't forget though. Hold on. It's not just before crisis and advent children and dirge And crisis core and ff7 Okay, hold on a second. Did you did you not see the trailer?
Starting point is 03:36:52 f of seven before cry uh Six years before ff7 trailer up until dirge is nervous. Look at this Like the whole trailer is the is a is a old style remake of ff7 The thing that people were actually asking for for decades Yeah, that's wild that is wild. Okay, so this thing is going to be uh Continuously updated is is the way they're describing it chapter a month they say And it's a and it's a mobile project Yeah
Starting point is 03:37:35 So, you know, you know what I see here? I see for the mobile version it will be on ios and android It will be one episode a month until it's done And then when it's done what like when a game is done. Mm-hmm. They will be released as full products Man Right, that's so nuts. They're just then they're just like, okay. We'll tell the whole fucking story Everything everything everything an ff7 style Yeah in the ff7 chibi style and like the the battle graphics look like ff7 remake And like it is literally when people's asked for like an ff7 remake
Starting point is 03:38:18 And then they saw the ff7 remake what it actually was There was a lot of people who said like I literally just wanted you to just do the whole game over with like Uprez pre-render background and here it is. Yes And and then people would say we'll get the pc version and do the the mako mod, right? And it's like Well, no, they're actually going to do it and we're going to do it for crisis core 2 And crisis core will like the way it looks it's probably going to be completely new game like a crisis core in the style of ff7 In the style of f7. Yeah, everything everything in the rpg style better because crisis scores gameplay kind of sucks No, that's that's honestly pretty red
Starting point is 03:38:53 And it's like the shibi style on the overworld thing like they look better than the actual Original ff7 they look much better than the old pop-eye hands Yeah, like when you see zack like swinging and moving on the overworld and shit like that It's like no no he's moving in a much more detailed way. In fact, it's much more like kingdom hearts Yeah, when you see him like jumping off the train They've got really hot like gorgeous looking like portrait art for all the characters I did see those portraits. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they look those look pretty good And then when you get into fights, it's just it's the actual remake full detailed models
Starting point is 03:39:32 Intern based style Like there this is really really exciting for a lot of ways one before crisis and advent children And crisis core will be saved from their respective problems Of which there are many But more importantly, we're gonna get a new translation of ff7 like a real actual translation of ff7 with all side stories and compilation content all Worked in together in a single coherent like space I want coherent quote unquote. I didn't check
Starting point is 03:40:12 I didn't check I really should have gone and see like what does tim have to say about this now the question Uh, I'm wondering is with this being monthly. Are they selling you every chapter individually? I assume they are Hmm Or they'll sell like the pass right Hmm That would be the the move to make money on this wouldn't it?
Starting point is 03:40:48 Well, we'll see But yeah, that's that's a crazy unexpected thing alongside this whole remake Timeline is just here's redoing the old shit in a way that is actually just the prettying up of the old thing you wanted um, and it seems like the type of thing that can be done by like
Starting point is 03:41:15 A much smaller team considering, you know, you don't have to voice act or Do much besides just translate and uh convert existing content to this Like you need so creatively. They don't have to worry too much about what's going on there people on board that are there to be like Don't fuck it up. Yeah, obviously, but like for the ff7 portion of it, which I think is the most exciting like it's a trace job Like like literally trace over the ps1 game until it's finished and then for all the other games, it's like Convert this map into, you know top view
Starting point is 03:41:56 and and you know Populate and put your triggers in point percent of crisis cores terrible content Okay, but agile though Oh, I'm talking about the side missions. Okay I 100% at crisis core and about 80% of that game is terrible side missions That game has problems Uh, yeah, uh, this was a very long time ago What's your goal angiel world domination that's not even funny, man
Starting point is 03:42:44 You know With crisis core and ff7 and before crisis and dirge of Cerberus Getting all this love acb and avid cdc It kind of makes you feel Like characters in crisis core before crisis and dirge of Cerberus Will be a value of people to know in the coming years Probably right probably like dirt like yufi's moogle suit is from dirge of Cerberus In fact
Starting point is 03:43:26 What if by offering this to the masses Those who look for the faithful telling are appeased So that the non-faithful telling can get away with whatever the fuck it wants Something like that and so that people who go who the fuck is zack There's an answer to this is who the fuck zack is You know, maybe this is just a fucking Uh, a sacrifice on the on the the pit So that man, this is just when this is a win-win for everyone
Starting point is 03:44:10 You think last order is going to work in there? No last order is like Last order is like a half hour version of a cutscene that was like animated up like it There's nothing new in last order. I'm still mad that it's l o Yeah, it doesn't count Like like when they made it they literally knew it wouldn't count because it doesn't follow the a And a then then letter fucking naming convention assholes It's breaking everyone's this like all of this legitimately makes me feel that
Starting point is 03:44:47 um Like the final fantasy seven remake two will have an f in it Like it will be a like the subtitle will be af Hmm it would fc would be the necessary letters though Yeah, no it would be a somebody in jet said fucking crisis No, yeah It would have to be fc start and eras is looking at the sky going fuck Forever crisis people are that could work
Starting point is 03:45:34 Final crisis. Yeah, yeah final. Oh, that's so on the nose for like a hundred different reasons But then they could never do anything after it. Yeah, they get a final crisis too Well, hey, hold on or I want you to look what you wait then you don't see the camera And tell me that putting the word final in a final fantasy game if they could never do anything after Not only do they have free reign to do anything afterwards, but then you get g c And god only knows Who comes along then Gacked crisis
Starting point is 03:46:25 I feel like this is kind of like yeah, I said before it's win-win for everybody. Everybody's gonna get what they want All right, um That's one of those crazy um bianna commando remake Rather bianna commando relaunch and bianna commando rearmed Announcements where they're like oh by the way, we're also making this so here So just if you're a fan, here's the old thing and here's the new thing and here's everything
Starting point is 03:47:02 The the the difference is like the scope on this is like astonishing The only thing i'm worried about Is that I hope that the ff7 episodes are not like a truncated version of the story. No No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It has to be full It has to be it has to be the whole thing. Yes. Yes traced over and if they're doing the whole actual game of ff7 Every other supplementary story is shorter than that. So Waste way shorter it would be it would be silly to truncate those
Starting point is 03:47:38 When you're putting all the work into the full fucking, you know giant game anyway. Yeah I mean Advent Children Is it's a fucking movie. It's it's it's whatever it's an hour and a bit like you're not You don't need to to to do much summarizing on that Uh crisis core, I mean you can cut out all the Shit that's not mainline. I suppose and and and that'll that'll be fine
Starting point is 03:48:13 Um dirge the the the press release the official statement is File fancy seven ever crisis is a chapter structured single player experience that covers the entire timeline In one of the most popular installments the squares rpg franchise But compilation will feature all the events from each game Including new story elements focusing on the origin of soldier. Sure Original content as well what is
Starting point is 03:48:48 like what I can see happening here is Like you know how there is like town exploration open modes and then there is you're on a pathway like Um rail events Right, I could see most events playing out on rails Conversation rail conversation rail run into the room battle battle battle next room like the intro like literally the intro right the the the the reactor Um, I could see it playing out events along the lines of that and and getting rid of giant open um
Starting point is 03:49:26 Town exploration npc talking building exploring events, you know I could see that um pushing you down the the next story event Ever crisis is also coming with first soldier Do you know what first soldier is? That is that not the sephiroth story the young sephiroth story we're just talking about No, it's the battle night. It's the battle royale What
Starting point is 03:50:06 Oh my god, what is that? Wait, what is that? Hold on. I've never heard of this. Hold on Hold on woolly We're gonna get raw trailer reactions from you right now. I've never heard of this. I just sent it to you. I just sent it to you It's in your discord Final fantasy seven the first soldier
Starting point is 03:50:34 30 years before the events of ff7 Rufus is looking over a city project zero To supplement their military prowess shinra forms soldier an experimental core Battle royale for iOS or android. Oh my god Wait, when did this come out four days ago this this was in the same trailer as ever crisis, dude Oh my god, it's a battle royale game Oh, this is canon
Starting point is 03:51:10 Yeah, dude Include the events of this Oh my god, this is canon All the stupid fucking fortnight money grab is absolutely a car. Oh wow Okay all right sure A bunch of unnamed soldiers fight each other while rufus watches don't you want to don't you want to
Starting point is 03:51:36 Fortnight snipe people in arith's rooftop church. Oh man, they're using those assets, huh? Oh, they sure are Yep, it's it's it's the church. It's the fucking It's aris house The dawn's fighting pit Man to be available in 2021 bro use those assets. Fuck it use them out of all of these Use them soldiers gonna be the one that comes out first sure
Starting point is 03:52:07 Sure Use your use all that shit you spent the money on Cash the fuck out. This is another pat So this is not real news. This is pat news But I feel pretty confident about this. Do you know what all this shit tells me deep in my heart? That that second ff7 game is really far away really far away It's really far away. It's like crazy like not even remotely stop thinking about it far away Oh, yeah
Starting point is 03:52:40 like First soldiers coming out this year ever ever crisis starts Next year like and it's one episode a month So that's gonna go for two years like we thought perhaps they had started planning some shit out when they dropped this First remake and it's like absolutely go fuck yourself. Not they were making you fee and now they're making all these other things And that is a huge
Starting point is 03:53:08 Fucking absolute massive boon to forget about ff7 r2. Just just wipe it from your brain Ff7 r2 is like legitimately like 2024 at the absolute earliest At the at the absolute earliest Yeah, no the the commitment to go down this road was one that like Is like, okay, we'll start but shut up People are saying ff16 is 2023. Okay ff7 r2 will be 2025 then In the meantime, let's catch back up on all this shit
Starting point is 03:53:52 You know why because you have to yeah Yeah, this whole thing screams like we want to do weird weird shit in the in the next one Oh, yeah, that will require you to know all of this and also Be okay with it because here we just did it for you again Did you know who was really behind those shinra murders on the gold saucer? That's right. It was sisne Sisne was there She did it for vincent
Starting point is 03:54:24 Because she's cute. I don't know it does. I picked a brain. I mean look it it honestly though Like it works if you give people the like remake faithful version of events like this It absolutely takes the heat off of the the proper giant game Oh, totally to do what people wanted their memories to recapture 100 it takes all the heat off I'm just as excited forever crisis as I was for ff7 r It's brilliant. It's quite smart Uh, yeah, let's take a Four next news story. Can we take another quick break? Okay. I gotta take a okay. I gotta take a moment
Starting point is 03:55:04 Yes So isn't it funny that we talked about two Japanese companies? Making remakes of their decades old RPG series and one makes everybody upset and the other makes everybody Like very joyful. Yeah Isn't that kind of funny? Mm-hmm And uh, both consist of making a crazy new version of the thing and the classic remake of the older thing Yeah, it's all about execution
Starting point is 03:55:39 It really is actually about it's actually also about money. Yes Certainly But you know that that what I mentioned uh, rearmed just now it's like no, this is a Like coming bearing gifts in both hands is a is a thing You know classic franchise Come with a little bit of a and b You know and then go like You know puritans faithful fans
Starting point is 03:56:05 Of old here you go New kids give us your money. Here you go Absolutely Uh, yeah, so You think they're gonna eventually pull it off of uh phones you think so Absolutely, but only once they're completely like finished Like it'll be the opposite of like what happened with like the ace attorney games and like ghost trick Or when they went to phones they became like chapter based
Starting point is 03:56:39 right Okay, so then after that sony confirmed the ps5 vr hardware That's not all that shocking Yep, so they they in fact uh last week we got a a little bit of an update like a preview about it But essentially they're you know ps5 vr is happening and um, which is like I was wondering like are they just abandoning, you know Uh everything they were doing there because it'd be really weird considering Oculus is Getting really competitive now with that like oculus has stepped it up quite a bit
Starting point is 03:57:15 um, and yeah, the new vr system for ps5 is going to Uh, quote-unquote enhance everything single cord connection new vr controller using dual sense features And it's not coming this year cool Hope it's as big as a pair of sunglasses Yeah Uh not for another couple years
Starting point is 03:57:42 Yeah single cord is good though single cord is good Though I really do like The freedom of the quest not having anything connected to it like that feels very nice and The sooner we can get to that on just about everything the better but Yeah, admittedly that's and that's not you know, um, that's probably not in the cards for a playstation tie-in hardware, you know
Starting point is 03:58:14 Uh Anyway, uh, so yeah, just a little confirmation on that and Uh, yeah, that was pretty much that was that was what sony had to say that was the week um Four new characters coming to skull girls Full on a full season pass I saw that and my retweet says everything that I want to say which is I literally cannot believe this. Yeah
Starting point is 03:58:44 I mean, so when um When hidden variable came out and said hey We're gonna make any and we're gonna keep making skull girl stuff And it's gonna be without mic and we're just because we own this is our Product and we're gonna keep working on it. They did pretty much say right there that they're like we have more stuff planned You know, yeah, but I didn't think it was gonna happen. Yeah, that's That's exactly it like
Starting point is 03:59:13 No one did right because they said it in the in that same statement but no one really actually like Thought it was gonna be a thing but like yeah, they're like, okay. No annie's dropping and then here come another Here comes a full season So skull girls is you know, gonna be back in the limelight and I mean, it's a fucking good ass game with rollback. So why not? Uh Good good shit good shit on that bring it back
Starting point is 03:59:45 Turn the beat back And I do have a another piece of news after this um The more anything with rollback gets Support the better the better it all is uh kof 15 They were getting bullied into Basically saying hey assholes. We don't give a fuck
Starting point is 04:00:11 What's going on and uh, you know, uh, eventually The with the hashtag s and k rollback, you know, uh kind of pressuring all the announcements They came out oda came out and said yep Okay So we didn't announce anything yet because we were not finished working on it But since the start of the game, we've been trying to get rollback in And so they basically went to kof 15, you know, the plan is the plan as it stands is for it to have rollback uh will
Starting point is 04:00:45 Will samurai showdown get saved uh not fucking likely No way So that's what that is and all right, so we got capcom arksis and s and k All right, namco Like next year that fighting game round table is going to be literally every single one of them going man this rollback It's crazy. We're getting lots of overseas sales. Technically, you know, oh, yeah, that's true. Oh, man Harada. Oh man, we got Harada's gonna come out like guys. I know we said we already had rollback
Starting point is 04:01:25 And I promise you that was the truth, but we have now seen the light. We've switched to blitz netcode We've made the switch. Oh, no, no Tekken now runs on blitz He'll he'll come out and he'll be like guys. We've really heard your complaints. We've decided Tekken is now four Yes Yes, yes perfect I mean he he can't come out and announce rollback for Tekken if he says it already has it Right, so he it would have to be
Starting point is 04:02:03 They have to be like we're re we're re engineering something you'd have to say it in some different way Because that would be not good. That's that's one of the weirdest ones ever for me because it's like No Tekken totally already has rollback and like everyone on the planet is like really It doesn't then it's not working properly if so because it's it's bad then If it does then you guys have if you fucked it all up because it's bad So, uh, but yeah, yeah, that's what's happening over on the the the snk side of things So we shall see You're whining as born fruit
Starting point is 04:03:02 Saudi deals still on the table. All right, let's take some letters Hey, man. Do you think Harada is like seeing people talk about rollback and just getting super pissed No, cuz he thinks I don't care about this shit. No cuz he cuz he Again, like his thing is no, we're we're the good guys. We're already doing it You know, he's like no, we're already doing it though All right new strategy Don't bug Harada for all back all everybody within the sound of my voice instead
Starting point is 04:03:35 Be like wow Guilty gear plays so great online, especially compared to Tekken Wow, it's not about the magic word sure has much better netcode than Tekken. It's not about the magic word. Yeah It's about it's about simply the performance itself Yeah, make it petty Yeah, make it make it like man debtor alive even has better netcode than Tekken. That's crazy That's wild who would have ever thought I'd be sitting here going I'd rather play DOA than Tekken, but because of Tekken's bad rollback. I just love DOA
Starting point is 04:04:21 DOA 7 now. Oh, jeez Ggpo hires it a gacky. Oh, no Oatmeal fighter coming down with rollback roll your oats back to the field That has made any sense at all Set your input delay and your age Oh Man if you got a letter send it in to castle super beast mail at gmail.com All right, we got one here coming in from Sheldon
Starting point is 04:05:10 Uh says wool smith and pat bundy Recently don't care for that started a spreadsheet Uh called Ryu's hands Due to his inclusion of fortnight and I wanted to list how many people he's fought with I found an appreciation for Uh the translations of Ryu into other games my current favorite
Starting point is 04:05:35 Excuse me being tatsunoko versus capcom where baroque is amazing baroque is amazing baroque is a really cool system Yeah, that's a good ass system. They should bring that back in something Uh my question is do you have a character that appears in multiple versions? Uh places and worlds where the guest incarnation is better than the source they're from Uh I don't like to play dual blades, but monster hunter in infinite sure makes them look a lot cooler than they are very cool Goddamn regular monster hunter. Very very cool Uh shovel knights incarnations are getting pretty amazing. I don't know if you've seen for honor
Starting point is 04:06:14 But for honor put in a shovel knight Uh uh uh cameo and it's kind of nuts because it's just like shirtless beef tattooed shovel knight And it's it's pretty solid. Um I would say Um
Starting point is 04:06:36 If not shovel knight Yeah, go check that out. It's great. I would say uh dig duck guy Hori taizo Is cooler in every game. That's not dig dug That he is in dig dug Hori taizo is the least cool in his own game and every cameo he makes in every other game He gets cooler and and batter Ass yeah, because the little dig dug man is like, oh, that's cute
Starting point is 04:07:05 But then when little dig dug man is a man with a gun that inflates you until you explode Mm-hmm. That's very different Uh hori in in namco x capcom is a badass Uh, but also in mr. Driller. He's like the veteran Digger, he's mr. Driller's dad. Driller's dad is the dig dug guy tori taizo So, uh, I would say That uh, that's that's that's probably my Vote for better in his cameos than he is in his source. Oh wow somebody in the chat did it for me
Starting point is 04:07:43 I couldn't think of one and then they said banjo kazooie in smash Which is perfect because banjo kazooie in banjo kazooie sucks But he's actually kind of fun in smash Great thank you, sir incredible moving on Raghavan says hey guys just wondering why all anime games end up being fighting games except for attack on titan Why is there such a darth of character action or action combat games based on anime? Uh, the shonen arcs I feel particularly would be fantastic and would fit video games, uh with character growth, etc I'm thinking something like you know yasha or full metal alchemist with platinum's combat or something similar
Starting point is 04:08:29 What are your thoughts on the manner my friend? I'm guessing you were not around for the ps2 era It sounds to me like, uh, you were not around when Ghost in the shell standalone complex had a ps2 game caboy bebop had a ps2 game samurai shampoo full metal alchemist
Starting point is 04:08:54 Gants They're all terrible all of these games had adventure game action games They were bad They were not fighting games, but they were tie ins that came out and were just fast cheap and shitty Some better than others ghost in the shell was better than a bunch of the shit on this list admittedly, but Uh, yeah, that's that was the entire late ps2 era was anime tie ins
Starting point is 04:09:25 so um They did that and then they stopped Probably because these things didn't sell because they were very bad Anime games that are uh shonen tournament arc things It's just it's it's an easier thing to do. Yeah, I mean your average shonen manga or anime is a
Starting point is 04:09:49 Series of like literally a hundred to two hundred one-on-one fights It's it's it it makes itself into a fighting game so easily arena battle. It's just it's a much lower effort for um similar ass sales and accolades if people are fans They're just going to pick the thing up and it is what it is, but yeah fucking. Yeah, even uh Even early jojo games there were there were like like when you go Before heritage for the future you get into that weird fucking uh Part five game and you get into um
Starting point is 04:10:24 There was a part one game as well going way back like there's all kinds of weird shit um Yeah, they just they they used to come out two three generations ago and they just sucked Uh Right, uh, here's one coming in from Uh Ragav says dear castle super beast Baked grapefruit is the solution as someone who despises things bitter and cannot stand the tartness of most american citrus
Starting point is 04:10:54 I feel the need to spread the gospel I hated grapefruit with a passion until I was at a bed and breakfast where the chef have the grapefruit Dusted it with cinnamon and brown sugar and baked it for 20 minutes at 400 fahrenheit The heat kills the tartness and only the sweet flavors remain spiced with cinnamon and brown sugar Bonus points for the roll warm fruit for breakfast Attached as a photo give it a shot. I hope you enjoy it It I mean looks good It looks really good
Starting point is 04:11:26 I believe that but I could just eat a fruit that I didn't have to bake in the oven That's fair, but I already like grapefruit, so I'm very down. Well. I mean if you already like grapefruit, then this is a win for you Yeah, that sounds incredible That you know it is extremely tart, but I do like it Um and there's a photo in it the photo looks really nice, so I believe you and I believe this person but no thanks I mean it feels like any food opinion given whatsoever
Starting point is 04:12:01 Requires either an extreme revile and disgust or absolute solidarity but uh I have a lot of apathy towards food things Like you know the ones that people remember the ones where people go. I can't believe you do that or oh, I love that But like most weird food stuff I'm apathetic towards because it's like yeah, that seems fine. Not probably not for me But I'm not not offended by it like I am by like
Starting point is 04:12:29 Fucking putting a slice of cheese on apple pie Yeah, and I mean and but there's there's some shit where it's just like if it's not being given to you as a kid when you eat dinner Growing up then you kind of just you will have no reference point for it. I remember in high school I kind of learned real quick That like white people don't really understand plantin as a part of dinner You know that's that seems to be a a carabin thing and well And even then a white people right here and I could tell you
Starting point is 04:13:03 That I'm not even sure what you're talking about. Yeah Yeah, so there you go You mean like a banana like a bit exactly, which is what they would say and I would be talking to my uh, um My friends in high school and I'd be like yes, it's like a banana, but it's not a banana. It's a plantain and plantain would be cut up and fried and served with Rice and peas and meat and it would be an essential part of dinner You know what I'll I'll say
Starting point is 04:13:40 I love my mother very dearly. She's very she's like one of my favorite people in the world. I'm very lucky but um Because of her I'm sorry. Am I pronouncing it the way my granadian mother taught me to my mistake. I'm sorry if that bothers you go on but Due to her Cooking style I hated
Starting point is 04:14:09 Rice my whole life until I went to college Because rice was cooked with fucking celery salt And it was dry and you would get asked if you wanted to put some butter on it And I she'd always asked me if I wanted more rice and I'd be like no, thank you No, thank you And then I would and I would skip I would literally we get Chinese food and I would not eat the white rice Because I would look at it and I go oh rice
Starting point is 04:14:50 And I was out with some friends uh I was out with some friends and we went to super noodles next to Dawson And I wasn't eating my white rice And a friend of mine asked why aren't you eating your white rice? I'm like, oh Butter and they're like they looked at me like I was literally the craziest person to ever exist And I was like what and then I had the the sticky white rice and I was like What the fuck is this?
Starting point is 04:15:24 Oh, what and I got super pissed. It was so angry. Yeah Yeah Trained you wrong as a joke My mother is a sweet woman, but she is not the best cook You've mentioned And my grandmother is a terrible dead woman Who was a cook that I'm shocked didn't kill me I can no longer enjoy lamb because of my grandmother's cooking
Starting point is 04:16:00 That sucks because lamb is really good Lamb seems good, but every time I bite into it All I can think of is the lamb we had at grandma's 15 years ago that I can only describe as Slime Yeah That I mean that happened to me with the the rotten potato salads and egg salads and shit, so You know it just ruins it forever
Starting point is 04:16:30 There is a really great lamb place here. Afghani food. It's kiberpass You know give it a shot if you ever could there. I actually I had to bite a pages thing. It was pretty good. It's incredible. Yeah Well, you you you you've watched Seinfeld. Do you remember that bit where? um Mr. Costanza is in the army and he finds some past its prime meat And he's like if I spice it enough like cook it long enough Like that's my grandmother. It'll be fine. Yeah. Yeah, like the meat the meat's gone. Don't worry. We just Yeah, we we just do it
Starting point is 04:17:09 um, so I think the ultimate in in in by the way In talking earlier about learning things or hearing things or catching tidbits and facts and details and having people Uh, uh correct you over the past nine years on everything that comes out of your mouth Is one that is literally a childhood dish staple of everything I ate for dinner For years growing up and having a bunch of white people in chat telling me i'm saying it wrong like fuck off Holy shit. That's holy shit. Fuck off That's the that's the core knowledge that you are in fact a complete expert at the topic. God the topic is your own life
Starting point is 04:17:50 I am not you. Holy shit Anyway, um We got one coming in from wade Anyway, what up, man says, uh, dear pat the pocket husband and woolly the lion sotan bori um This isn't a question but since pat shows such delight in rise of skywalker lady in the audience I feel you would enjoy this I saw force awakens on opening night in theater when the trailer started
Starting point is 04:18:23 It showed the trailer for captain america civil war when tony hawk Excuse me Um when tony stark When tony stark shows up in the iron man suit A child in the audience excitedly yelled. Yeah iron man The trailer then continued and it ends with cap and bucky absolutely destroying tony Oh, yeah, I remember that trailer and as the trailer ends I can hear a voice that sounds bordering on tears A kid going why are they beating up iron man?
Starting point is 04:19:10 Oh Yo, he got fucking bodied that I remember seeing that and I called that the team hyper combo finish In the theater just bop and then their weapon is fucking ass They literally trade the shield off at one point. He rocks him with the shield and bucky catches it He fucks him up He drops to his knees and they keep going. He got fucking beat stomped out Took his fucking tims brah
Starting point is 04:19:50 Like I love it damn um His dad quietly consoled him as he was absolutely distraught To this day My friends and I sometimes bring up the poor kid when we talk about movie theater audiences Oh, I fucking love it. I love it. Holy shit Oh, man Oh, he gets rocked so hard, dude
Starting point is 04:20:17 Like it just keeps going too like it boom boom boom boom Oh, shit that was good that was a good one Yes, indeed All right All right, so we forgot to actually say like what's going on this week on our channel.

Starting point is 04:21:35 Fuck off.
