[♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ Okay, what's up? Hey, hey, hey, dude. I just saw somebody say something in the chat to hurt my feelings. Uh-oh. I saw somebody say, I feel bad for woolly. It's gotta be frustrating to have to be dealing with small dumb issues constantly. I have a name. Sir. Okay. My name is Pat. Thank you.

Got him? Self? Yeah. Yeah, got him self. Yeah, I just I thought it would be funny to say out loud. Good. Good bit. What's up to this week, man? Yeah, I guess we're just going to roll. Twitch is is being fucky, but I mean, it seems like we're going to be a little more stable

now. I guess I don't know if something happens. We'll just roll through it. I think it is kind of crazy. We can have like a chat with video across the continent. Yeah, and it is important to remind the consumer every now and again that this is still a audio MP3 recording that you happen to be witnessing via technology. And our microphones are pointed the right way this week. Yes.

As they are, as they were. Yeah, hey, it's fine. It's fine. The underwater legacy of of Brennan continues. Brennan is super cursed. Yeah, it'll, it's like I said to him online, there is just like, we have been at this for a decade and still audio is a plague upon all of us.

It's like every, no matter how many decades of experience, I bet you, I honestly bet you like, Hans Zimmer and Harry Gregson Williams are fiddling with Mike's chords going, what the fuck is, what the fuck? Listen, I remember that, that mummy movie with the Tom Cruise in it. Yeah, that, that from a professional ass movie studio

and they put up a version of that trailer that had nothing but sound effects in it. I mean, you know, it was the debut of the monster universe after all. How could I forget? Yeah, it'll, it'll, it'll, like so, so they basically made a JoJo intro part with the, where they do the sound effects, OP, but, but they can, that's the only thing they had. Had the had fake Tom Cruise going, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. It killed that movie. That's the funniest part is that that, oh, that fuck up.

That killed the dark universe. Is that the movie? Yeah, is that what it was? I see. It would have been a rough. First impressions are wildly important. It would have been a most important thing. It would have been a complete blockbuster success

if not for that. Well, you ever go to shake somebody's hand and it doesn't quite go. You didn't get the good grip. And so you go, no, you go, no, no, no, and you do it again. Fix it. That doesn't even work. It doesn't even matter. It's appreciated by some people, I'm sure,

but the first one, the first touch. I mean, but I'll, like, yeah, I feel like, well, I'm just reminded of bad CG Hulk trailer, right? Like, when the CG is incomplete, but you have to tease the movie, and the renders are still going out, the day that the teaser drops it there's there's no save there's no save. I feel like when we saw what we were looking at recently where they're like, oh, they always put out renders and then they look better when the game comes out.

There's a trailer for something recently like that where they're comparing like the pre-release to the final. No, no, no. Was it Grand Theft Auto? Or was it Rockstar games? But games, everything about the production of games is the most fucking weird thing in the world. Could have been Tekken or King of Fighters or something like that.

It was, it was, it was people were talking about Grand Theft Auto and there were showing screenshots of Red Dead Redemption's trailer and then the Red Dead Redemption final looking way better. That was better. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's nice. But anyway, the, the point remains that no matter how experienced you are in the industry, I bet you the shit is this shit is happening nonstop. You can't feel bad. Um, although you can and will feel bad, but you shouldn't.

Not, it just don't beat yourself too much up for it. Um, yeah, okay. Well, I guess, uh, yeah, I'll jump in because speaking of blockbuster Film franchises. Oh boy. I watched one this weekend. Did you I did? I'm excited. Well, so hey, here's the thing I talked a little bit last time about feeling some of that that cape exhaustion that MCU tiredness Having watched even the phrase Cape exhaustion is giving me Cape exhaustion. That little that little bit of that everyone feels where it's just like, yeah,

yeah, you're and I think to if to try and just reset things after end game. And go like, okay, the Thanos R came and then that whole bit wrapped itself up and to just try to be like, let's do it again, is a brutal uphill task. You can't name it end game and have it end and everyone stand there and going, oh, where it's all finished. And it's all done. And then

have some button next week. Like, man, that doesn't work for movies. I mean, this is all just a part of like my larger gripe with media, which is that things don't end. Yeah, I agree with you. I just, it's gonna, it's a repeating theme that I feel like I'm gonna be complaining about for the rest of my life, but things don't ever end. And like, it's a constant, like,

it sucks. Internal lack of consistency when we talk about games though, right? Because you're like, I really wish everything was new and unique. Meanwhile, let's cut to the super cut of both you and I, like coming in our pants at the DMC five trailer. Yes, yes, but at the same time, I'm always what willing for them to grab that in the things I love and present it to me in a completely different way. No one in this, in ear shot of me right now would have predicted or asked for

automatic from the near franchise, but the idea of more near, but making things better and cool is a good idea. We're down for that. That story was a lot of fun. I think you could, I think somebody, I think there were people going, I would like to play a character action game with slutty robots.

Yes. In fact, I think that is a pre-existing show. But what I'm getting at is just to say, like, if you can deliver more of the bones of the ingredients that we love, it doesn't have to be the specific continuation of something that should have wrapped up. Yeah. That's it. But anyway, this is going off in a longer direction because the thing I watched, where

I didn't feel this, in fact, was Guardians of the Galaxy 3. I heard all sorts of good things about that. I also heard me and Paige were tempted to go watch it. And then we got the explicit warning that was like, if you have trouble with watching bad things happen to animals, don't go watch this movie. And she was halfway pregnant at the time.

And we're like, we don't go watch this movie and she was like halfway pregnant at the time and we're like, we don't like, this seems like a bad idea for us to go watch this. It's really good and boy, man. Yeah. Oh yeah, okay, there you go, okay. Yeah. It's, you know, and I realized early on when it dropped that like I was like, this is so quiet in its marketing.

It's, it's for what? I would usually, from the bombast, I would usually expect of an MCU main title. This was surprisingly like, hey, James Gunn dropped, it, there it is, it's out, go see it, and people going, wow, and that was kind of it. It was, it was out, go see it, and people going, wow, and that was kind of it. It was quite surprisingly, you know, just, yeah, mellow in its drop.

And I think it's, yeah, it's like it fucking hits me. It's one of those things where you're basically, I would say go check it out, because that continues to be, that's a nice thing to enjoy it despite the feeling of Again, we're post post end game kind of tired, you know Yeah, but luckily the Guardians like all that gets to live in space a far away from any ideas of from any ideas of Kang stage 4, whatever.

I mean, I haven't seen, you know, Quantumania and stuff, but I mean, all that really matters is like if you can just, James Gunn does Harry, you tell a story in a, you know, fairly isolated way that it can and we'll have to connect to answer you things because it does. But for the most part, you're focusing here on like rockets origins and that's what the story's about.

Right. I mean, Cape fatigue and all that. I mean, Wolley, if you really want to, you know, be up to date, you're gonna have to see the inaugural a role of Kang played by Jonathan majors because he's gonna be a big deal going forward in the MCU. Let's see. I don't know if you know that. Let's see what happens when the lever gets pulled. What's the what's the opt out plan here? There's no elegant way to do this. Yeah, somebody in the chat mentioned it. Quantumania, like the whole movie,

is to set up a villain that they decided they're not going to go with later. The movie is like actively pointless, because people were talking about it's not even good. Mm-hmm. So, it existed as like a stepping stone to something that might be good later, but that thing's not gonna happen I heard that that that Thor is supposed to like not Thor that Loki is supposed to like try to Good things about Loki Loki season one. I had a lot of fun with it

But I I hear that like what they're planning to do is use Loki season two to kind of Reame where they were going with Kang and stuff. But again, I haven't looked too much into it. All the way over to Dr. Doom. Is, are you hearing me fine? Yeah, I'm hearing you just fine. Okay.

All right. Yeah, so anyway, all this to say that, yeah, if you just, you know, if you, I think you can still tell like, there's other stuff going on in that as well that is pretty overall sad. It is a bum vibe superhero movie. Okay. For sure. It is one of the most bum vibe superhero movies, but definitely one that is, it's bum vibes,

but it's still in Guardians of the Galaxy style. So it's quirky, it's fun your it's bum vibes, but it's still like in Guardians of the Galaxy style So it's quirky. It's fun. It's charming. The characters are doing their bits and There's a whole lot of just like Yeah, they they know if that's a weak point for you if they know they can tug at your heartstrings They're gonna they're gonna open you up and yank at them. Yeah. Yeah. But I definitely would recommend it as one of the few posts.

What? Hand game recommendations. It's a good movie. But what is it set up at the end? What's the thing to see at, what's the, what's the, what's the thing to, to see it to end for the next thing? I mean, they introduce Adam Warlock, which is pretty cool. But like, what's, what's, I mean, this thing, like whatever, what's the next thing?

The characters do their things, they, they, everyone does their bit and then- Don't understand. You know? Yeah. And I'll, I'll even say that like, with introducing Adam Warlock, which is a character I was curious to see how they were going to handle it, they, it is done in a way that is completely not what I expected at all, which is great, which is really, really fun. Like, I feel as if any other setting director movies, like any, any place else, Adam would have been played

the way he would expect him to be played, which is the just the fucking, you know, infinity stone god that he is. And here, it's literally, you know, fucking meme kid that's like, you guys got paid? Yeah. It's that kid. It's dumb child. That kid's at a warlock. All right, all right. You know, and like, I don't know if that meme is the reason why he got hired, like it might have been for other things, I believe he was in, was he in some other series, or the Hunger Games or something? Anyway, but he's basically just like Adam Warlock, but Woken up, but like created too early,

so he's younger than you would expect him to be and thus he's that fucking kid, you know? Yeah, I was I was quite Surprised to see that casting of him and then playing him in this kind of goofy way because he's such a Mystical fucking serious super strong badass from you know of all the cards so that we used to have the Marvel card collection I had he was one of the ones where you flip it back and like oh man the Marvel card collection I had. He was one of the ones where you flip it back and like, oh man, his numbers are all maxed out. He has like 9998 on his stats. Oh he's crazy, but he's so strong. You know, and it's just like, yeah, I know, fuck it. He's a fucking nepo child, like little shitter. Man, out of gold. Man, out of gold. And you're gonna play him for that weirdo that he is. And it's like, cool.

That's a fun way to do it. But yeah, definitely, definitely one of the, one of the few I'll recommend. I'm also like, he was in the maze runner. There we go. Yeah. So I ran mazes. I think it's, I think it's probably just like, even though the subject matter is going to be all tied in and shit from here on out, it's like, okay, if James Gunn knows what he's doing, then like, so be it.

Well, like, it'll just have to come down to, do you trust the director? You know, is do you think James Gunn or Tyka are gonna do a good job on this? Then like go check that out, but you know, maybe not just because you wanna see what black widow is up to, you know, perhaps. For God's sake.

For God's sake. Perhaps. Yeah. What? So. Fuck dead perhaps So Right there's a fucking there's a black widow moving coming out right it came out She's wearing the white suit. She's wearing the white suit. Oh Fuck I can't even I can't even fucking I can't even keep track anymore even fucking, I can't even keep track anymore.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Check that out. Other things I did. Yeah, and like, what was I gonna say? The, there is a post-credits scene. Wow. But as far as your tie-ins go, it's just like, yeah, no. It's, there's nothing to fucking.

Is this Howard the Duck there? He's chillin'. He's there. Yeah, he's playing poker. That's it. It's great. Yeah, we briefly talked about Black Widow. I was like, oh yeah, look, there's the white

suit in the trailer. That happened. That was that. Man, the instant, the instant I finished watching Loki season one, every single thing that has a Marvel thing on it, just like started to delete itself from my field of vision as I look at it. I mean, I'm, I'm desperately anticipating the post credits, Madame Web scene. We need to know what the the morbid avengers will look like when they all

come together in the same room when Craven more than Madame Web. That's gonna be so good. Right, right? And then any Brock, you know, maybe he might walk in at the last second. It's happening. It's super happening. Look, that fucking horrible New York accent that sounds like he's got a bunch of fucking shitness mouth. Oh, oh my god. See, I checked that out. I

Returned to ultra kill. I saw act to imperfect hatred Yeah, shout out tacky to jumped in to be like hey by the way There might be some controller bugs FYI and it's like I'm sure that was like astonishing timing And it's like I'm sure that was like astonishing timing Like you went live and then I looked down and I see the Hikita be like by the way this versus I mean, yeah, I think I think I think he's quite busy working on the game still listed in early access. So you know I know controller supports bug fixes are not the highest priority. And that's okay. Because, you know, I gave it a shot and I played the Bowsing Keyboard for

as much as I could until my wrist started hurting me. And then I stopped and I switched over and managed to make it through. So it was fine. I don't know if you remember what I was talking about, Ultra Kill, I was like, you get to the end of imperfect hatred and like, you're dealing with, not there, you're not, oh well, I'll just, you're dealing with a lot of buttons. And I was playing on controller and I'm like,

oh man, I'm struggling with the amount of buttons that I'm dealing with. Maybe, you know, maybe it's time to switch to Mass and Keyboard because it'll be easier to switch all these weapons. And then I switched to Mass and Keyboard and played with it. And then I was like, what? And then I asked around and like, no, Mass and Keyboard plays are also like, there are a lot of buttons by the end of Act 2 of Ultra-Cou. There are like legitimately way more buttons to use in a shooter than you could possibly expect to adequately use it all times. And it's funny because I kind of remembered it being simple and that it's like,

okay, you've got Dash and then you've got drop, right? And then you got your punch and stuff and then it's like, yeah, but then here's your, yeah, there's punch variants and then there's the switch types. And then of course, like for optimal weapon switching, you're going direct to the weapon you want and not necessarily can going through a cycle and stuff. So, you know, there's a lot of ways to optimize. Thank you. I don't know if it has it yet, but I think that game needs a time slow down weapon wheel. It has exactly that.

Okay, because when I played it, I don't remember a time slow down weapon wheel. There is currently a time slow down weapon wheel for you to put when you switch and pull up your weapon. That's what I was using on the pad when I did switch. So I'm happy that that's there. The, honestly, the thing that I would like to be there as soon as possible, whenever he gets to it, is the ability to just remap controller buttons.

Cause- Oh, that's not there yet. No, unfortunately not. The controllers are on default and- I mean, you'd have to do that with them. Yeah, I think Steam with Steam overlay. I think Steam, yeah, you know what, I didn't go back to test that out.

Steam overlay might be able to take care of that problem. I should tell you, by the way, that I don't know how long you've been, how often you use Steam input, like fuckery. It's the most powerful, like, controller setup thing that's ever existed. Mm. Yeah, it's so unbelievable.

I've used it to solve a couple other games controller issues, for sure. Yeah. I would have to go, yeah, just go back in and see what this one. But there's an option I barely recently discovered in the Steam controller menu that allows you to have a controller setup that has a default mapping specifically for just pressing the guide button, which includes instantly turning off the controller and changing your computer's volume level. Holy shit. So, like, if I need to turn the volume up, but I'm holding the baby, because I have a baby,

I hold the PlayStation button and just hit up and down on the analog stick to change the fucking volume. Like it's, it's, it's what, like using a controller on Steam has the potential to be a hundred times better than using a controller on whatever fucking console it actually came with.

Yeah, so if I remember correctly, we discovered a lot of this when Hitchhiker was doing the DMC 5 overlay, right? To make it so that there's a toggle for like switching between like holding an trigger button to bring up a different series of main inter-main main buttons since it's shit. So that's super cool. So that's super cool. I would like, I set it on the LP, but as far as, yeah, as far as it goes for me, I'm just like, I think the mouse is great, it's super accurate and it's the fantastic way to aim.

I just hate the keyboard side of the equation, you know, so I wouldn't write. I would be interested in seeing if I can, I can, you know, hybrid it just just to see if it works. But I did auto aim. I, but I did manage to play, you know, with fine with the controller, when I did switch over and such. And such. But yeah, the, you're just the fact that you do have to let go. And by when you every time

you place your thumb, is that that one issue with it. But again, I feel like I was able to kind of compensate and learn. I don't wanna relitigate this whole keyboard controller shit issue because it's gone from being a fun discussion to just being really, really annoying because some of the people that come out with this are like the the the most I try to mostly keep away from the crazies whenever I can the real

insane owes are coming out with the a keyboard shit and I'm like okay I just don't even the it's not even a normal conversation you're out of your fucking mind there's no point just like a sober and over again a, because like using Ultra Kill as like the basis for this discussion is really fascinating because like I was saying, I've played the game at length in both and like the game has like, like the game wants so much of you at all times that either control option has like glaring holes. And it's pushing you to your limits, no matter what, for sure. Like when after you stream Ultra-Cell, there was a threat about you switching

from a mouse keyboard to controller, and part of that threat was people going like, I don't know how to switch weapons fast enough on the keyboard. Because I don't have the wheel or whatever the fucking is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like people talking about like where they put this weapon on it and where they put that weapon.

Yeah. No, I mean, yeah, so no, thankfully, I mean, look, every, you know, for the most part, it's at this, it's at a, most people are just like, do just play how you want to and have fun with it. It's fun. Like, yeah, absolutely. It's just, you know, those, those people are coming how you want to and have fun with it. It's fun. Yeah, absolutely. It's just, you know, those, those people are coming out

and I'm like, all right. We're doing this. I think there's one option that would make you life a lot easier on this forever. Mm-hmm. And that's an option that I've been seeing lately, which is like chain, which is like a, uh, uh, an option where you are controlling the prompts

that show up agnostic of what you're using to control the game. Like you go into the menu and you go, what buttons do you want to show up? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where?

If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where?

If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you want to show up where? If you it was like, pick the one you wanted to stay on. And it'll stick to that mode or so. That was hilarious, yeah. But beyond that though, all things considered, it fucking just, what an amazing, there was so much there. I mean, yeah, nothing surprising here. Ultra Kill is fucking incredible, it's so much there. I mean, yeah, like nothing surprising here.

Ultra kill is fucking incredible. It's so good. There's so much. And we're there! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sharing a coffin. Fucking. Well, barely.

Boom. You're in the coffin. I'm the tiny little baby. It's fucking skeleton. I, and then, yeah, I did not recognize Mandalore's voice right afterwards there, but I had like relatively recently watched him go through a mystery of the druids. So, okay, a lot more, a lot harder for me. I should check it out.

Um, but the vibe that is like, yeah, coming back to that game and just being like, okay, what were the interactions with all the, oh, they all interact with each other in the best ways possible. A lot. Yeah, and I mean, I think like, you know, when Doom is at its highest

when you're in the middle of it, like you're doing the combo, you're doing the sequence, right? We talked about and rotating through as you take out each enemy in the way it's supposed to. But the fact that Ultra Killed, it's more than that. It's interplay of the weapons with each other's secondary fires and such. That's so much more, like it's a little extra level of like, oh fuck yeah, that design is great, you know? The magnets working with other things, the nails, the working with electricity, the coins being reflectable off of it, like everything is

or playing with each other. I just went back to coin. Whenever I didn't know what to do, I just like, give me coin back. I never helped me. I never relied on coin that much to be honest. I only started coin. I only started on coin that much to be honest. I only started coin. I only started fucking with it more so this time around.

And yeah, it's super incredible. And then of course, you're fighting V2. And then you get to use V2's coins, you know, as well. And yeah, the rail gun being heavily reworked from last time, as per my usage of it, the unintended way to play. So now it's funny. I saw like the way I found you going live was I saw someone tweet ultra kill nerf incoming and had a link to your stream.

I don't think I found anything here that was particularly unintended that just went through it as bad as the as the nail gun the first time. But the changes are quite wild. It's so much less than it used to be man. It's crazy. Yeah, like yeah, you run it like you just you get this high octane insane burst the full heavy arms the same burst, the full heavy arms, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr We hit I did the fishing mini game as guided which was wild Did you see that I don't know there is no you would know you would know there is there is a full like hour long Fishing chapter What okay, I didn't and I

Yeah Okay, I didn't... And... What? Yeah! Hahaha! This one, did you do the Crash Bandicoot one? I did not get that one. Oh, there's like a full Crash Bandicoot sequence in there that's insanely difficult. Jesus Christ. Yeah, you just spend a while fishing and there's a whole little side guiding before you go back to the wild fishing. And there's a whole little side guide in before you go back to the main arc.

And then yeah. Apparently was added after I stopped, after I did my videos. Oh shit, okay, okay. Yeah, that was fun. And then fought the ferryman. Oh yeah, do that fight kicks ass. So good.

What a great duel, right? Especially that he's coming in close on you. And I like how both him, so the ferryman has that, like, rush down sequence to him where he's like, like, locking in on you and going for the stinger. And V2 is, like, you can fight from a distance if you want, but he's gonna get pissed. If you, the from a distance if you want, but he's going to get pissed.

If you the further you are from V2 and the and the angrier mode he gets into, you know, so it's just like it's your it's within your interest to rush that shit down. Be aggressive. Punch your shotgun shells. It was a lot of fun there. I hit, there was a room that was really getting me in particular that I was, I forgot what room it was, but it was just like, okay, yeah, this is. Is it in the boat? Because I remember getting real fucked up in the boat. It was prior to the boat.

It was, I think it was closer to the Cicophian, what was it? The Cicophian, what was it? The Cicophian boss, the thing that fucking, you throws the giant boulder at you. And... Oh, that fucked the, man, the second act of Ultra Kill just starts to get super weird. Insurrectionist, there you go.

Mm-hmm. The way that boulder comes flying at you is such parry bait. Oh yeah. And I love that you can identify it by the timing of it. It's like, ugh. Ah, you're like, oh, come on. You know you can parry that. And sure enough, you can.

Feels great. Feels very, very cool. I, yeah, I can't wait for the final finished launch version of this, whenever that may be, when it's all said. I almost feel like maybe I'll, we should probably reach out to Hikki about this, about like, because every couple of levels, like more button gets added. And it's like, what is your plan to deal with like the mental stacks, like slash dexterity required?

Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir?

Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir? Like what are your goals, sir button that I neat-ket, like, was a little bit extra, was the switching between fists button. I think there were times where I was like,

I wanna punch the shotgun. Oh, wait, shit, I'm on the other shotgun punch. You can punch, you can have a punch shotgun, or you could have a shotgun punch. So, it's like, which one do you want? And I was like, I want to talk to you about that, but I shouldn't. Oh, okay, okay. I was just saying, you're describing the exact thing I'm talking about when I say the

mental stack just keeps increasing. It keeps increasing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay. And it comes like kind of unmanageable. Oh shit. Hmm. Yeah, I mean, and the thing is though, but you can't make the point. Okay, you have the you have the grapple. Okay. I got the grapple. I got the grapple. Okay. Yeah. No, because there's three now. Yes, then you grind it. Yeah, because when it was like flip between one and the other, that's one thing.

And now it's cycle around. It is. And it's a completely different input as well. It's the L1R1, you know, so you're doing that. Also, it's surprisingly, like it's lenient in some ways, but really unforgiving in others, with the way that the snap works on it, it's not a hit scan or anything clearly. It's like it's traveling out,

and if you're dropping, you better be shooting above it within a certain radius. But I've missed a couple swings on that a few times just in the rhythm of things. And yeah, adding the grapple to combat as well, adding your meat hook in addition to everything else you're doing is very demanding for sure. Still though, I mean, I'm never gonna spin the face

of a grapple option, that's rad as fuck, I love it. It's super cool. And it does exactly what you want, which is pull the small enemies in and pulls you to the big ones. So, that game's great. Really good. One of the highest-rayed games on Steam

and with good case, good, good. Yeah, and I think to like something I'm, I'm kind of realizing here as well as the one V1 boss fights that are all fucking amazing. Like, I love that they've so far with one exception, been like, you're in a grounded arena, it's not like there's pits in the middle or anything. There's no stage hazards to worry about,

just win the fight, the fight is challenging. Did you play the Doom Eternal DLC? Not yet, not yet. I remember you told me about the double murderers. The final boss of that first Doom Eternal DLC is like the worst first person shooter boss I think I've ever encountered my entire life. It's like the entire arena is attacking you.

Wow, like there's pits, there's lasers out of the wall. It's like it's constant while the boss is fighting you. It's, it's, it's, it's, and there's ads. Ads and stage hazards, yeah. It's rough as fuck. I mean, like the, no surprise, the room that I'm talking about that I was struggling with here was the, it was a room that had like tons of pits

and it was a shot in the dark was the chapter and it was like you're in the dark, you can't see the full area and there's a lot of pits for you to fall and die in. That kept fucking me up. Yeah. That being said though, yeah, I just, God I love the fact that those dual searches like pure,

you know, take all the mechanics you have and put them together. Yeah, you fight V2 and like a fucking flat square room. Yeah. Thankfully, I can say to that, even though it's been a while, I was able to like do significantly better than I did against, I was gonna say Gabriel. Yeah, in my first act attempt, because that was a, that was a Dark Souls sit-in fucking hammer at it, boss for me, you know.

I think of improved a good bit over that. But yeah, I'm gonna be continuing with that for a little bit just cause it's short, it's sweet, and it's so fucking good. I wanna get through all of the extra shit that's come out since the last time I played it. I, it's like, ultra kill is the kind of game. I don't think I'm gonna go back to it until it's done

cause I went through most of the first and second act, but also, like, there's so much fucking shit in that game that you don't see by just rolling through it. Mm-hmm. The secrets. Yeah. Which, I mean, again, Hitchhiker came through and appreciated just being like, hey, there's a good secret over here.

This one's worth seeing, you know? So there's a whole lot of bullshit that is going to be worth going back through it once it's finally done just for all these extra- crash bandicoot, what the fuck like? I beat that crash bandicoot, and it was hard, it's fuck, and it was super worth it. Madness. Yeah, everyone, ultra kill, a reminder that ultra kill fucks. an ultra kill, a reminder that ultra kill fucks. Okay, and not content with overwhelming my brain with with the genre that is FPS, I decided to get aggressively into card games. Oh, okay.

I have decided to start messing around with and playing Asuka Arcroits, the gear maker in Guilty Gear Stripe. Oh, you fucking piece of shit! Oh, you fucking motherfucker! Where's the lie? Where's the lie? Oh, that's good. That's good. You got everybody. You got everybody with that.

He is absolutely a fucking card game. And here's why. Here's how I can prove it to you. Because I played, being Reggie, were messing around. And then afterwards I kept playing. And I'm spending more time. There are entire rounds where I don't look at the game. I just look at my deck. I swear to God my eyes are on the bottom left corner of the screen looking at my hand and my magic and I'm the game happening is peripheral. I've never felt this way in a fighting game before.

I have the feelings this character brings out are insanity. It has never been like this. Oh, it sounds like you're ready to play Red Mage. What's that like? It's like exactly what you just described. Oh. Like, oh, I gotta watch my fucking hot bar for my prox. I don't have time to follow the fight.

It's crazy, dude, it's crazy. You're in your own world. You're playing a different game over here, which is so fun that like, it's literally part of the character is like the intro. He walks in and then person talks some shit or says their lines, you know, mankind knew that they could not change society Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna fucking get you and then he's like, sorry

Can you say that again? I was calculating my percentage of chance of winning this fight What were or I was I was doing like he's literally not paying attention to the shit talk coming at him because he's looking at the fucking books, you know and Yeah, so like you actually are just looking at you're looking at the fucking books, you know? And yeah, so like you actually are just looking at, you're looking at the spells, the cards you got, what's on cooldown, what's coming back, where your man is at, you're sick, right? And then the interactions they have with each other

and like then he's got three, like he has three decks to switch between and like just learning one deck is getting maximum, is like, I feel like he's the thing I said this last time too we talked about him but I think Oscar is like the natural and result of Arxis going every character is a system in and of themselves. Yes and also every character is an homage to a genre right. So that's the thing is he comes in as the homage to card games

and they do it the most justice they possibly could. I will say that that overwhelming crushing weight that you're feeling of trying to put it all together is fun. It is fun to do, right? Because when I do manage to get that round out or two where I'm like, I'm barely winning right now. I'm getting annihilated by anybody who knows what they're doing. Especially like the stream was rough and then I learned a lot more afterwards and kept messing around.

But it's so hard to really... It seems like the kind of character that would have a fairly extreme learning curve. And yet, the funniest thing about it is when you go to the character's elect screen and highlight him, it says, difficulty of use, one star. That's the same. Is that just a lie? Is it like a joke? I think it's a joke. I think they're legitimately just like joking and lying to the player.

It says he's one star difficulty. It's insanity, right? And it's like, oh, you're really funny, right? And what's the logic? Like, oh, just, he's just do Hadokin and you'll do his spells. It's not that hard. Oh, that's the, oh, okay, I get the logic.

Slice. He's easy to use. No problem. Is one star the hardest and five is the easiest. Oh. Oh. That is not what I really, that seems like that seems stupid. I thought that it was, yeah, I thought you grade it according to five stars means holy shit, that's really hard. It's okay. It's a views. So five stars is the most ease of view. That is... Yeah, okay, it's backwards.

So you know what it is? It's like when you win, and instead of gaining a win around icon, you lose one of your two hearts. Yeah. Right? That's another striivism is to show you, it's not that I want around. It's that you have two lives and I took one away So it's yeah, just a kind of reverse thinking on it. Okay. Well, I guess that makes more sense that I was just like what is this troll? This insane troll. That silly as hell. I'm sorry. Give me a second my heaters on really high for some reason

The sweaty you'm getting sweaty over here. Yeah, let mean, once I can be, let me just fix that. All right. So, yeah, the fucking wildest thing is like, so you pick them up and you go to the character, the move list, and then he's got his move list and then he's, there's a separate tab, which is just, here's all the cards and what they do. And you're like, let's learn the 30 cards in the deck that we gotta rotate through and such. And then like you don't, it's all right.

Just getting the hang of like your deck and playing it and how they play with each other and keeping track of your mana in addition to your card restocking and everything. In the middle of the fight is so much. And whenever you hit that ceiling where you're like, I have mastered this, I'm pretty good to go. I know how to manage it all.

It's like great, there's two more decks you can switch to. And each of those decks has separate cards in there. Wait, I'm sorry. When you started to say, you start looking over the 30 decks, I thought you meant three decks of 10. No, you have three decks of 30 cards. That's... And there are different configurations, some of which include cards that are not in deck

B or C, some are common. So you can literally switch between three styles of card character for your preference. It's not just, it's, yeah, it's not just the full, no, don't do that. They wanted to introduce a card character, but they wanted to also introduce like multiple card characters in one. And so that's what you get. It's insane because yeah, Dexie is trickier, it has teleports in it, it has some stuff that is purely luck based, you'll draw a card that'll be like, okay, this card just makes it

so that the next ability you do is recycled, you don't discard it. This one has a five second timer on it. So the moment you draw this card, you see five, four, three, two, one. If you use it on, if you wait to use it, when it's down to one, it'll be powered up. But sometimes it'll be weaker.

So sometimes you wanna use it fast. So throw up. So throw up. Right, this card means don't use it it fast. Throw up. Right. This card means don't use it until you're near the end of your hand. When you're low, this card gets more powerful before you reshuffle it all in. It's so crazy. I'm going to barf.

It's too much. And then don't even get started on the the the staff cards Which are all like modifiers that affect the way the spells come out and the arcs they travel in There's that like gravity drops low gravity high speed up my fireballs slow down my fireballs orbit the screen Shut up and then you just and so you so you're looking at all these types of spell casts, all these types of orbs and projectiles, all these types of staffs, and then you're super, which is also susceptible to the staff manipulation. And yeah, sometimes when you're like, okay, fuck this, I need to just put it all, you

just like, okay, never mind, I need to just put it all. You're just like, okay, never mind I'm spending a super to just shuffle. I'm gonna press buttons to shuffle through my deck and every button you tap just Shuffles that slot So you can literally just be like, I want that one that one that one that one that one that one. Okay, great resume. Where were we? You know, and it's like it's legitimately a great usage of your me. I see somebody making a joke about legalizing nuclear bombs in in the chat and I'm like you you're you are playing as the shadow wizard money gang. Actually, factually.

Legit, legit, legit toss in my orbs out and you know I mean the like and I just I love the idea like as as Reggie was putting it it's just like yo okay so you're playing your fucking unga ass nago and then you're like yeah but hold on a minute I got a secondary I got a pocket I got a pocket gear maker that I bustin out what are you gonna say that? Can you rewind a second? I am in awe at the total impenetrability of the sentence you just said with your mouth. You're out here playing your Unga ass Nago and I'm over here pulling out my second, what the fuck are you talking about? I have, I have an un-g-ass nago, and now my secondary is to pull out a pocket gear maker.

What are you gonna say to that? And Max is like, yeah, I can see it. It's true. It's true. You're just saying you're just saying fucking words. Did you just add it if you saw maximum? I did see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just what it looks like for one normal people, see. This is, I mean, look, for 10 years people have been like, well, will he, what the fuck is he saying with the fighting in words? I'm meaning Nagoriuki.

He's a very, he's a very aggressive. That's very gorilla. He's very gorilla. To be gorilla means to rush you down with one brain cell and go in and spin and go hard and then pop my blood or don't pop my blood, you're hopefully not. And just get you, get in your ass and get you dead before you do anything, right? Very, very simple game plan.

However, to switch to a character whose game plan is so insane, 2000 IQ is the complete opposite character of the main that I have. There's nothing in common with these two. This whatever, talk shit you have about the first will not apply to the second. This whole dichotomy between your two character choices is at the meetup how many drinks have I had. Am I in zero to three drinks? It's Oscar time. Is it four or more drinks? It's time for Nago. One thing that is pretty funny to see though is just messing around online with him. Again, losing brutally, getting my face stomped in while I'm head in the book. Is the amount of people that like are, especially like really good players,

that like at start when your spells are up and your man is full, they're like, ugh, hmm, they're like even like the most, I don't know what is going to happen. I'm scared, I'm approaching cautiously. Like even soul, bad guy who's all about rushing your face down and just being nonsense is kind of just being cautious while approaching. And then when my cards are out and my man is low,

it's like, okay, get him, get him, get him, get him. Don't let him live, don't let him up. Stop him out, you know. At which point I have to do something desperate to try and get my cards back. But there's that little fear of like, what you could be doing if you had the character under your control properly.

Like the things that they must have seen when really good Aska players are actually using him. And like from watching replays, it's unbelievable because you see people like Land of Counter hit and then look at their hand and go, oh, okay, got it. I can improvise with these three cards into a juggle that'll do a lot of splice never been

Required to be faster and that combo that was improvised all the way to the wall and then wall break the next through the next four cards You get completely different set up. You can't do that anymore. You got to do something else And then all the way at the other end of that fucking bell curve is I'm just hitting buttons Yeah And all the way at the other end of that fucking bell curve is I'm just hitting buttons. Yeah. It's easy to, this is the hardest video fighting game character that's ever been made. Easy, easy. Like there's no discussion about it. And it's hilarious. But I love the idea of actually attempting to climb this mountain.

So I'm fucking around with it. It took a minute because strive updates were coming and there's a lot of good games to play. But coming back around now, you know, and you know what, too? Like, I also, just for the fall of it, like, so Reggie was playing Johnny, picked him up pretty straight forward and had a good time. I played L-Felt, just blind without just, you know, I'm like, okay, what does what? Okay, got it. Good. And we're like, oh yeah, easy. Fine. Do the high. Do the low. Do the high. Do the low. Do the big one. Shoot the gun. Shoot the gun. Hit him with your butt. Do the command grab.

Yeah. And then- That sounds right. Right. And then her wind pose is one of the best wind poses ever where she does the death metal growl. It's very cell. Thanks for watching. You know, that's great. So real simple, real, real basic, you know, yep, got it good. But I just, yeah, I want to climb this mountain a little bit.

I wanna have a, even if I'm not decent with him, I just wanna know how the character works and be able to say that like, okay, I get it. I get what you're supposed to do. And I'm starting to see the code. I'm starting to see the backyard. Sorry you. A little bit, a little bit.

Because I can tell, well, first of all, I know what maybe 80%. I can recognize 80% of the cards and get the application on site. And I can put together how to combo with at least two of them via getting a first touch using it and then extending into another one. So I have the formations of a game plan.

My brain is getting a wrinkle from using him. But if anyone, if you just wanna experience what it's like to play a game while playing a game and like the game you're playing down here Has a more and more important outcome than the game you're playing up here where the person fighting against you You're just like yeah, yeah, get to me alone. I have to make sure I shuffle What oh shit? Okay, okay? I got an. Here we go. Hatsworth into fucking fighting games. I mean, like, there's a point you get to when your man is low and you have three ways to refill it.

And you have to, like, you can just autopilot if you want to to be like, do my, my, my battery fill. But you have to choose what resource you're sacrificing. Because the three ways to refill your man are, you can use your, like, super meter are you can use your like super meter You can use your life bar or you can just do the slow one that uses neither, but it takes extra long Mm-hmm and to decide that means to check all of three and decide on the fly Which is the makes the most sense, you know

But what's what feels really good when you're using him is you see these awesome animations, which I've also also loved like the modern day Mage design with like a spell book and like updated clothing. I've talked about this I've seen this kind of character design a little cat ears off, right? Yeah, he's got the J's and he's got the fucking I love modern mage with a book like that's such a cool Look and he's got that going and what's awesome is when you see a book. That's such a cool look and he's got that going. And what's awesome is when you see cast a spell, then do the page reset. So cast a spell, restock the bullet, and then charge a little bit of mana back. And you can do that all in one sequence. You can do cast refill charge. And then it's like, and you just see the character going from the different animations. And it's a very

gut trick sword, gut trick sword. Kind of vibe to vibe to it as you're doing all three every time you do one thing, you know, it's the it's a manual fire the gun Reload the bullet and then click it back into place, you know each time you shoot and That's a that's a little fun for you. Where do you fall on like? You know if I don't know what I'm doing, how can they know what I'm doing? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Like, where does that factor in? I mean, it factors in that like,

as long as you're out of bullets, as long as you're out of spells, they're coming at you. And when your spells are up, they have reason to be afraid. That's the simplicity. Oh, I got you. Right. And when they get, when they start to know you a little bit, they can recognize, uh-oh, he's got the icicle. And the icicle means he has a sure you can. But I don't have a sure you can, if I don't have an icicle. Yeah. And if I've got the black orb, it means I have a long range overhead.

But if you don't see the black orb, then I don't have a long range overhead. So you don't have to worry about it when you're crouching. So if they start to learn what those cards are, it'll get really, it'll get a lot harder for sure. But for now, it's just, does he have cards? Yes, be cautious. Is he out? Stop the nerd, shove him in a locker.

That's it. Rush the wizard, got it. Yeah. And of course, as you can imagine, because this is literally that man, he has some great interactions and stuff with Saul and a lot of the dialogue is fun between them.

And the fact too as well that you can pick alternate versions of him on the character select screen because there's the real version and then there's a magic clone he created from the story mode and they both have different dialogue options. Really? Yeah. Jesus. It makes sense when you watch the strive story as to why that's there and what the point is.

But it's essentially a canon in-game way to do what they used to do, which was, you could load different recordings of old guilty gear voices in, like like reload and accent-core and stuff. They would be like, hey, one version has all going gun flame, but the other one has been going, God, flame. You know, so yeah.

You can just load out A, B, or C depending on how you want it to sound. But now it's technically a different character. It's a, you press up on the character exactly. So it's an awesome thing for that. I've always been a huge fan of that in fighting games. I wish they do it more. Arxis is the really the only ones that do it to that level.

Street Fighter IV had the story mode battles where they talk to each other and there's a little bit of that going on in five and six, but it's so minimal. Listen, like, hyperfighting, Street Fighter II, hyperfighting's a little bit of that going on in five and six, but it's so minimal. Listen, like hyper fighting, Street Fighter II, hyper fighting's a great game, but Gaia going Sonic Boom.

He's an awesome shit. He compared to Sonic Boom. Yeah, yeah. Bob, we're broke. Thomas Hall is always the best. I disagree, my favorite of all time is the big giant badass of God going Tiger, Tiger.

Yeah, I get it. Well, you would with a God. You love a God. Tiger, upper cut. What a giant beast of a more type fighter. It's not even half feet tall. The Emperor of Muay Thai says, Tiger.

Yeah. Tiger. Yeah. Tiger me. Anyway, it's always fun. I blaze blue in particular has the one I remember. I mean, I'm sure they I don't know if they kept it going, but after the initial game, a calamity trigger, when Jin and Ragnar are fighting, he has move moves replaced with like, I'll never forgive you, Jin! Right, right, right, already, you know.

Uh, yeah, so Asuka is a fucking wrinkling the brain. Lots of fun there. Uh, man, when I play fighting games, I want my brain to fucking smooth out. Yeah. I want to fucking, I want to end of Fouley of fully cool to be happening up in my fucking dome Well, I regret to inform you that Potemkin has one new move. I don't I'm out Anyway, it is just it is a unique experience dude playing the game while you're playing the game It is the closest thing so back in the day

I made a I made a bit about Street Fighter Cross Tekken in Fighterpedia, where it was like, you can go to the auction shop while using the Pandora system to toil the Earth for Zeni. And the hostages are, need to be rescued, right? But don't get caught in the pneumonia system, right? Like, all of that was there. And I'm like, this is the closest we've ever gotten

to that fighter-pedial version of that joke was the fake blaze blue screenshot that Matt Post on the internet. Like 11 years ago that people thought was real. But I look back at my mind's eye of that screenshot. I'm like, that screenshot doesn't have enough bars in it now. And then the origin of the whole joke, sacrifice your partner for more time on the clock.

Like that's literally what was the opening joke of that cross-deck in episode, you know? So when you see this many systems and it's like, I can't be focused on comboing you. I have to make sure that the jobs don't get closed down at the job board. And I have to make sure that my zenie has got good value for trade-ins while I'm fighting you.

It was great. This is that feeling. This is absolutely that feeling of like, I'm not looking at the fight happening, but I'm still vaguely participating in it because from the corner of my eye, I saw soul flash and then come flying this way. So I'm like, oh, he's doing an air dash. Okay, I should probably anti-air that.

But I'm not looking away from my hand. Incredible. And once you put together Exodia, like I went to go, this is one thing that I definitely recommend to when you're picking up a character in a fighting game. Just go to the replays and just see what's possible. And I went to go watch a top level Asuka player and just to see what it looks like. it's like, oh my god, okay. So I feel like there's, I have a flip side to that, which is very similar, which is not see what's possible, right? Because seeing what's possible can mean a lot of things. To me, it's like, see what you have to be doing in order to play this character. Because to me, I look at this thing, I'm like, how does he know what cards to be playing? Oh, he just knows, because he memorized them?

Okay, on to L-felt. Excuse me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's these feet, you're playing, you're memorizing the cards, and you're like, in this situation, this is the right call. That's it, that's it.

And what I see happening is a fucking like cautious play with a normal looking hand and then landing a stray hit, using all of those spells to like empty out onto the opponent. And then in the time that they're getting back up, switching to deck three, doing a super, getting a hand of wild crazy amazing things that play against the play with each other. And then by the end, he puts a staff down, he's shooting multiple orbs that fill the screen with bullshit,

does a super so that the screen is cycling with bullshit that you can't get around, teleporting behind you so that you start getting hit by them, and then moving in to do a big explosion. Like it's fucking not. You've come a long way from juggling sins meat meter. Right, right, right. If I know that this is not the end of development, but it feels like it should be the final character. This is the...

I feel like they're trying all sorts of weirdo shit with these characters. Like I think back to that little tutorial they put out with uh uh what's his name the big guy um the fat guy the the the the gold name Dickinson Dickinson gold Lewis Dickinson and the phrase with this behemoth typhoon in this behemoth typhoon. In this behemoth typhoon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And just like how much value can we get out of one move? But Gold Lewis represents a fighting game idea that should have existed infinite years ago, which is spin the stick in the direction that the character should spin their their attack. Yeah. Right? I always loved how, you know, revenge and even write in MGS2

had the using the analog stick to aim, the sword. And I love it in fight night when you're boxing and you do a curve to do a hook and an uppercut from down to top, you know? So it's like in motions that are like, yeah, I swing from here to here. And that's what you see on screen feels real cool. A real, really dope idea for that.

Anyway, so that's going on in strife, the epitome of the, you know the M&M meme where he's got his hands out and he's throwing some shit at you. Yeah, and like just to your reflexes. It's this, it's this times a billion. Like just the screen is filled Beyond that yeah, we so did a little bit more

AC6 and that's continuing to be raddish shit I'm probably on track to complete at least new game maybe not new game plus plus and the branches. But I'll tell you what, those new game pluses fucking go. They fucking go because you now know what missions actually require you to fight anyone in the mission at all. Okay. So you can just blitz right to what? Like I'm thinking, you know, of the mission that has the two government and max attack you near the end,

because when you get to the dome, you do that mission again, you're like, I don't have to do this mission. Okay. I could just fly to those guys and kick their ass in three minutes. I, yeah, the one that I pretty much, uh, last touched was the, like, Michigan. It's a decision point and you go to take on Michigan and like, oh, it's so good, because

it's like, okay, it's all business. We know betrayal is the name of the game. It's all corpos. And then they love it. Michigan's super hype that you're coming to take the bounty that he put on himself. That, that mission is so awesome awesome and it's so hard. It's so nuts. I almost ran out of ammunition.

I did. Multiple times. Right, so I have my out boxer frame, which is the, the, the Zoner with the Gatlin gun shoulders, Gatlin gun arms, just going, ah,hhhhhh that gun though yeah that would run at ammo absolutely and the whole time the fucking the red guns are talking shit about you and Michigan is like you fucking idiots you useless pieces of shit this guy's the best he's trying to kill me right now you can't do shit you guys suck he rules look at him go as he tries to kill me.

Don't talk to me in Guazoo. Get the fuck out of my fucking pond. It's so good. While you try to take a mod, what a champion, man. Yeah. Yeah. And uh, uh, uh, yeah, Baldur's Gate as well, continuing on with that. Just fully, fully distracted from Halson by we wound up in the under-dark. Yeah, and fought up. That happens. Fought up a holder. Yeah.

Ah, spectator. A spectator, fought a spectator. And just I'm like, yeah, we'll get back to that main path eventually. There's a little bit. Yeah, well. I remember going down to the underdog and be like, am I ready to be here?

And I like barely survived my first encounter. And I'm like, I guess I am. That's it. Doesn't feel like I'm ready to be here. So three encounters later, I was like, oh, okay, I think we are okay to be here. Cause I was really worried to the point where I was like using

by, my, thrushed down characters to zone, because I was like, that thing's way stronger than us. We're not ready for it. And it turns out we actually were ready for it. I hook or crook as long as you may I get through. Yeah, so I hope there's no in-game timers that are like, counting down between that mission where we walked up to the cliff side and saw a dead body

and it was like, oh yeah, you got here too late. No, there are a couple instances in the game of like, did you activate this and then leave, but they're all very clear. They're like, there's like a building burning down. And if you like interact with somebody about the building and then decide to go leave and long-rest Then the building will burn down, okay, but as long as you don't interact with it

It'll just keep burning until you actually deal with it. Yeah, the um The the fact that like that was that one first mission where I just walked upon a body and everyone went you got here too late made me go Oh, that is like the only thing like that in the whole game. Hmm, weird. All right, early, early too. Yeah. Yeah, I was legitimately afraid that like, I was gonna get one-shoted by these under-dark fucking beasts

and I was like throwing chairs with Carlac and just, you know, arrowing from a distance because I'm just like, we're not strong enough to survive in its face. But again, if it turns out we are, then I've learned, I've learned, you know. So what? I know people are, no, I know everyone hates to see the characters being played incorrectly,

but I'm just like, if we're gonna die in one swing, might as well try to make survival plays. What happened with you after the spectator was dead with those guys? Oh, so our iteration, it's so interesting how many possibilities there are. The ones we... That's good.

This one has a lot. This one, what we got was the main druid was dead and all the little add- on NPC guys were like, yeah, shame that he's dead and all. We came down here to try to do this. And they were basically just like, ah, it sucks, because he didn't make it. The first guy that gets on, on, on, on, yeah.

The wizard petrified. The drought wizard, yeah. Drought wizard dies and then everyone else is just like, yeah, that sucks. Anyway, we're gonna try to go Save the rest of our people that are petrified here, I guess, but damn that was scary and they were clearly talking about it Like yeah, he was the guy and then there was the other one who summoned the Spectator and then ran away. So we got that one that name to I guess, but that the conversation was them just kind of going like Well, I guess we'll just have to pick up the pieces and figure out how to save so I got that one that name to I guess but that the conversation was them just kind of going like well I guess we'll just have to pick up the pieces and figure out how to say so I got that variation

But I also in a different play through got a variation where the wizard the main guy lived And he's like hey man why you guys down here and you tell him I don't know who you I just in and got attacked by a fucking spectator. What are you talking about? He goes, you must be after my bullshit. And he and all the people that are undet ratified, attack you. And you have to fight them right after fighting the spectator. Oh. Wow. And this is my favorite.

Unless you're a lady, Drow, at which point he starts to mouth off and he sees you're a lady, Drow. At which point he starts to mouth off and he sees you're a lady, Drow, and he fucking tucks his dick back between his knees and starts to almost cry talking to you. What? Whoa. Oh my God. Yeah, we completely, that's, we would have been done. We would have been cooked because like we survived

that fight in rough shape. Oh my God, okay. And for things like that, if you wear the mask of illusions, it would be. You wear it disguise self, you act as if you were on whatever. Yeah, okay, interesting, that's funny. My God, that would have been some bullshit. Huh.

I mean, at least they're not, are they healed up? Why by that point? No, they're in whatever state they're fucked up day you and they end to the fight in okay Okay, okay interesting well in any case um fucking under dark detour We'll see what that leaves is it a detour? I't know. I hit a wall and then I hit another wall and then we hit that thing and I guess there's other places to go but the only place we haven't gone is a pathway past a bunch of clickers, which they're literally just clickers.

Are they? I mean, there's mushroom men. That are they? There's mushroom-looking spore men in a field of exploding spores. They look scary and dangerous, and they're also around things that are, this spore will make you crazy and run in circles,

and this one will explode when you touch it. Have fun. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Yeah. Well, I will- That's one of my, the spore, the, the, the, the sport guys, the clickers you're describing is one of my favorite little areas, the whole game. Oh, nice. Okay.

It is, it is a plus excellent. They look super dangerous with the area that they're surrounded by. And like, I noticed that like, it's not about being next to the mine. It's about like being in the circle of its... What do you call them? Again? Maita... Maitkanid?

Is that it for the ground, like roots that... Oh, I don't know. Mushrooms will... Yeah, anyway. When you step on those things, then you get infected, so. We... My sillium. thank you. My sillium. We'll just see where that leads, I suppose. This upcoming week is going to be gone though, so not recording going out to Magfest.

Oh cool, that's fun. Yeah. I'm gonna see Gene as well, who's making it out so that should be cool. And yeah, nothing super official. I'm kind of just having a chill one, but there's well there's one event. So if you are around on Saturday, there's gonna be a versus wolf signing 12 to 2 on the Saturday. Other than that, though, I'll probably just be in the games room chilling. And I think Reggie's gonna try to sign up for the tournament for Street Fighter as well. So, you know.

You're not gonna sign up? Uh, tournaments at cons are always rough, man. There's always a lot of things going on. And I always like, I never want to be the person holding up the bracket. And the T.O.'s are usually really understanding, like, dude, we know you have to be doing a million things. So they'll, like, but I don't want to be that guy. Like, I used to run tournaments with people

that were shitty getting their fucking, oh, I'm famous privilege and all that, and I don't want to put that on anymore. Yeah, it's the same energy of like, I don't even want to walk into a store less than an hour before closing because I've been held up by people walking in five minutes to closing. Oh, for like, I'll just, to do your full shopping and then hold the gate open. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I get that.

Like if it's like my grocery store closes at like 10 o'clock and if it's like 930 and I could totally make it for one thing, I'm like, no, I will go tomorrow morning. Wow, okay. Okay. I'm pretty fast with running exactly to the spots I want. I don't often stand around and look at the thing. I just float up a cart and get the fuck out. But yeah, I don't want to put that that inconvenience on anybody So it's a maybe but you know, probably not But that's gonna be it. So yeah, we'll be back the week after that and I will be playing some some short stuff there's some good shit that keep in my eye on some new things dropping and some other things

But I'll tell you this. you this I'm gonna continue ultra kill So this we yeah cuz it's fucking rules Yeah, so this week we're gone Check us out next week, but in the meantime check out some stuff over on the main channel and we've got a new woolly versus whatever as well Which has been flagged 18 plus by YouTube so that's fun. I don't know what the fuck it is. It's this slop is an affront to humanity. That sounds 18 plus to me. The worst part about when a video gets flagged 18 plus is it's not like a copyright strike or a claim where they tell you the thing, they literally just say, hey, your video

has mature vibes. Watch it carefully and tell us if you think there's anything you can fix about this. And then I'm like, there's nothing. We don't, like, it's fine. And then they're like, yeah. Well, no, so it's locked, sorry. Your appeal is a one shot, like, take a guess, right? It's the exact meme of like, the tax man shows up, IRS, money time, how much do I owe? Guess, is it this much? Jail. So which is worse when you have no idea why it is

or you know exactly why it is and you're like darn. Cause I'm looking at my YouTube channel right now. And there is a video I uploaded last week, age restricted and limited monetization and 18 plus only. Yes, exactly. That's what happened. And it happens to be the episode from last week

of Pat beats his wife at video games. And I look at that and I go, I wonder what I did to cause that to be restricted to 18 plus I just don't know I just have no idea Okay, so that's exactly the what I'm talking about. That's why I'm done your head right fuck man. Yeah, well all of it just So stupid is that what happened to race wars too? I don't think it happened to race wars. I think race wars was okay, but Yeah, it's context right and all that all yeah, whatever I prefer to know the things of cuz every time woolly versus whatever goes up It like there's like five versions that get claimed and hit before that so the version that stays is the one that goes out

So I'd like I don't mind targeting it and just going like fine You have a problem with this clip. I'll remove it, but just hey the vibes are kind of mature out. So I don't mind targeting it and just going like, fine, you have a problem with this clip, I'll remove it. But just, hey, the vibes are kind of mature here, guys. I don't know. It's just kind of sucks, man. Anyway, whatever. That's woolly versus check it out. What's up?

Let me take a stretch here. Ugh, I'm at the point where I'm having to use Google Docs to break down my week now. Okay. Fair. So, first things first, there was some, let's say confusion and let's say gnashing of teeth over the name of the segment I was doing over the past couple of weeks called Defeat the refund. So in order to make that horrible screeching noise go away and also include more shit,

I've turned it into beat the backlog, which is the exact same gimmick. It's the exact same thing. But I'm including shit that sits, I don't know how you organize your steam library, but I have a folder that I put on steam, which is I have not booted it. Okay. And that folder is huge. That folder is like embarrassingly gigantic. So I've included that in as well. I have also I have also done some OBS, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Tom Foulery. And now I have a fucking spinning wheel with people's names on it with fake applause and a fucking drum roll. And just I am, I am not choosing.

I am in no control. I randomize the entries. I fucking spin it. I am in no control. I randomize the entries. I fucking spin it. And the person, someone's name gets to choose. Or... Some people have suggested, so people have been suggesting things to put on here.

So I take the person's name who suggested it and put their name on the wheel. Okay. And then I have little icons of my head. I see. The function has a house choice. And then, and I'm so happy I put these on. I put a bunch of spin-agains on there,

which I keep landing on, which means we get to spin the wheel again. And it goes burr. Now, now, what are the percentage chances that people will actually get their jackpot? So, it used to be about 10%. There are now so many names on the wheel. People are down to 2.5%.

I don't even have all of the names on there. I have a really sick idea. Yeah. How about the more people that put their name on the wheel? Yeah. The more you increase the value and decrease their chances. And how about every once in a while there's a zero percent chance they'll actually get picked. Uh-huh. But we just roll with it as if they had a shot. No, I don't think I'm gonna do that. No?

Nah. But it really works though. No, the system actually works, it's quite simple. Games that I already own or are part of my existing backlog get to go on there for free, but I can only choose them in one of the four pat head spots for house choice. People that have donated in the past that donated

as the entire cost of the gaming question, get on there first. People who have suggested things, get on there second, and I'm rolling through. Like there's one particular person who like kicked in seven suggestions. So when I pull his name off, I just put it back on. I see.

With the next one. So the way this is like sustainable is that like, the thing, the goal is to play it for about two hours though, right? I have a 90 minute timer and that is the maximum Okay, some of these have lasted less than five minutes. I see and That was always the case because it used to be the the refund timer But now it's the can it hold my attention timer. So like for example I have a list of games I want to talk about what's not on there

is slime rancher a game I put on there that I played for three minutes before going I hate this so much and then backed out and deleted it and put it in my, never played again, folder on Steam. Okay. I wasted, I only had the wheel land on my own face once, and I wasted it. Okay. Interesting. So I'm guessing that, well, are people recommending things that are conducive to a 90 minute timer?

Sometimes not! Because sometimes really really really really not. Because I'm reminded of the problem that I faced when I uh sometime ago was starting a game out and going, oh, if I do one session of this, I'm not going to get anywhere and it's not much of a quick look. It's kind of a nothing. So why bother doing this, right? So if it takes, there have been five or six games that did not make it 10 minutes. And I go, listen, I hate it.

I hate it so much and I don't want to play it. There was one particular person who suggested a game that I was like, listen man, you can pick any other game you want because I've already played that game on stream and it's my most hated game I have ever played on stream. So if you have any other suggestions, I will take that suggestion right now. Okay, okay. Is it, I mean,

like yeah, okay, I guess. So here's what I do. I put everything that I possibly have on the wheel. I shuffle the wheel and I leave it completely up to chance, which I think is the fairest way to ensure people have their shot of getting their suggestion on the show. Have you, what the?

When I actually played, if it sucks, I didn't, I hate it, I'm not gonna keep playing it. Have you ever hit a game where it's fine, but 89 minutes in, you're still in the tutorial? Yeah, no. Okay. But even then, right? It runs the gamut. Some games I've gone over by five minutes, in the tutorial. No, not yet. No. Okay. But even then, right?

It runs the gamut. Some games I've gone over by five minutes, like 95 minutes. Okay. Because if someone said, yo, play samurai remnant, play fate. You would be... So the main crux of this and this relies on viewer trust, genuinely, is that you, the viewer, have to trust that I will give it an honest attempt, which I feel I have.

But if you don't believe that, then don't suggest anything. But I really am trying to give these my old college try. Okay, okay. And again, that is again, like dicey dungeons, as you've brought up, which I love now, is that got 85 minutes. But that's perfect for like, boot and go, you know.

That game's just incredible. Right, and I'm just, I remember when, I mean, this is pre-literally pre-pandemic or so, I think, like years ago, but it was like, I was trying, I was like, oh yeah, Plaguetail, I hear that's good, let me try that out. And then I remember. Oh yeah, that game's got a slow start.

Right, and so the take away, which I mean, fair was like, hey, this is a good game, but like, you're not gonna see enough of it in one afternoon for anyone who cares about it to see what they're looking for from you, and you're not going to get the impression of anything based on that just onboarding process. I think my favorite is what I got. Okay, fair. I got a sponsor deal for Persona 5 a while back for P5 Royal. And they're like, Hey, can you start and do the game for two hours? And I emailed them back. I was like, Do you want me to do the first two hours? And they're like, Yeah, absolutely. I'm like,

Are you sure? And they're like, Yeah, absolutely. I'm like, okay, and I fucking hit on it with Vance and just sat back and chatted for two hours because you don't get to play the game. You don't get to play the game for two hours or so in a five-row. You certainly don't. You certainly don't. Speaking of the apropos of nothing.

Apropos of nothing, yes. You've talked a lot about Yakuza. I, you may have heard me talk about like a dragon slash Yakuza slash RGG in the past. And so something like Infinite Wealth is a game that would be very, very much, it would like you to have beaten the game that came before it wouldn't it? It might. So maybe. Even if it were sponsored perhaps it might still be a bad idea to... I don't think there's any bad ideas when it comes to being sponsored. Okay.

And if you think that's a bad idea, then please, by all means, give me the email address of this bad idea. Still do that anyway, send that to me now. Hmm. I see, I see. Okay. All right. Okay.

Hmm. What the hell were we talking about? You were beating your backlog. I was beating the backlog, which is funny because it's actually like wildly increasing the size of the backlog. All right, I'm gonna fly through this. There's a game called Jet.

I'm not gonna include games that I hated and don't wanna talk about. I'm sorry to the folks who suggested them, but if I hated them and I don't wanna talk about them, I will not because it will just use up valuable podcast time, even though this podcast is shitty. All right, a lady named called Jetland sir. Did you ever play a game called Loft Rousers?

Yes, it's great. Okay, that is Loof Trowsers, but with like an open world mission structure and tons of upgrades for your fucking ship. Whoa, that's a jet-lancer. Okay, fuck, that's great. Okay, Wully, do you like trials? I love trials.

Okay, do you like Metroid games? I'm a fan. Okay, do you like Metroid games? I'm a fan. Okay, do you like furries? They're okay. There's a game called Likah aged through blood, which is a Metroid game in which the player controls are identical to a trials game. You are riding around on a dirt bike,

listening to really good music and shooting enemies in slow mo while you control your dirt bike via trials controls. That's a wild setting for essentially trials, sure. And also for ease. Yeah. It's great. It's fantastic.

What's that other game with the for ease and the child sacrifice? The fucking the wall. Yeah, so you know tank one. Yeah, you can make a good game with furries that can still have other things that are wild. Fuga. Yeah, sure. There you go. That one. Yeah. Oh yeah, people are pointing out the bike parries bullets. It's great. Then there's on guard, which is a like water color on guard the French way or on guard the American way.

On guard or Canadian way. Spanish way. Oh. Okay. Not as in we stand on guard for the. No, it is a fencing game where you're playing ladies or oh, and it is a fantastic action game in which focus is a lot on moving around the environment and kicking people down staircases and kicking barrels at them. It's trying to recreate Inigo Montoya. Oh, is what it's trying to do.

That's cool. That's cool. Like, like, Zoro, but like more than that. It's like Inigo Montoya, the video game. Oh, and it's a third person action. Okay. Yeah, it's fantastic. It's incredible. What I see, it looks like from the way the camera is working

and interactions are happening, almost like a absolver-ish? Yes. OK. Kind of like seafood also, but yeah, yeah, yeah. Seafood had more like environment stuff. When you 1v1, you sidestep and dodge and attack and do all the different reposts. Yeah.

OK. I also played a game called Blood West, which you can sidestep and dodge and attack and do all the different reposts. Yeah. Okay. Cool. I also played a game called Blood West, which was provided by the publisher, which very obviously stars Gianni, because I talked to like a bowl skull that was like a ghost. And I'm like, why does this sound like Columbo? Because it was Gianni doing like double Columbo voice. Nice.

Gianni is a open world, western supernatural immersive sim. So you are sneaking around. You said his name. Clothing zombies in the back of the head with fucking fire axes. You said the name of the game was Gianni. What's the name of the game? Blood. Oh, did I? It's called blood west. Okay. All right.

And you have a like a regular pistol that you are reloading, like singular bullets at a time and rotating the cylinder kind of thing. It's really cool. It's very strange. And it's also extremely punishing, like extremely punishing. I played a vampire survivor's clone called God of Weapons, which is vampire survivors, but in 3D and you are playing a Tasha case HD as your upgrade system. That's fine. Like you're, you're getting weapons in your inventory, like a

Diablo game, but you have to organize them and combine them in order to actually fit new weapons into it. It's great. Okay. And my part, one of my favorites I played this week is a game called turnip boy commits tax evasion. Have you heard about turnip boy commits tax evasion. Have you heard about turnip boy commits tax evasion? This is news. This is news. It's incredible. You play a little turnip man in a little vegetable garden who owes a bunch of taxes on his

greenhouse. So the very first prompt in the game is to rip up your tax return And then the mayor comes in and goes hey you dumb bitch. I own your fucking greenhouse now Go do chores for me and you play a little Zelda game in which every time you find someone's taxes or their receipts from the hardware store You just rip it up in front of them and they go why'd you rip up the deed to my house? And turn a point as a talk. He just laughs. I like credible. I like the cut of his ship.

It's you find, you find, oh no, the strawberries dropped their phone off a cliff. So you get the phone and you're like, you're gonna give it back to the strawberries, but you change her password. Wait a minute. Give it back to her. Is this Kirby does his taxes? I don't know. I'm not familiar with Kirby does a taxes.

It was a meme. It's a picture of Kirby doing his taxes and he looks very sad what he's doing. But this is kind of like what if we made Kirby does Kirby evades his taxes. Yeah, I mean right now It's on sale right now because the sequel turnip boy rob's a bank is coming next week I'm like turnip boy is fucking Kirby. Yeah, okay. All right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah It's it's great. I almost beat it in the in the fucking 90 minutes So it's really short nice, but it's great. I almost beat it in the in the fucking 90 minutes So it's really short nice But it's great and the last game that I played on

Beat the backlog was the Prince of Persia game that's not out yet I thought it would be fun to put games that haven't come out yet on the wheel Sick so shout out to Casey excellent who put me into the contact with a person who sent me a code put games that haven't come out yet on the wheel. Sick. So shout out to KZExcellent who put me into the contact with a person who sent me a code. I know the demo is out, but I click the full version, man. I saw that in the, from the moment I saw gameplay in the, I think award show.

I'm like, okay, I see traversal, I see cool time play, and in combat, there was fucking character action shit happening with time reversal to change positions. And I'm like, okay, this looks legit. This looks super cool. It's, it's so good. I'm confused that it was like a loud to come out. Mm-hmm.

From Ubisoft. You could feel it. You could feel it in the fucking trailers, bad. Yeah, yeah. Okay. It feels, it's not, but it feels like a Devil May Cry game in the timing of the hit stop and all that. Mm-hmm.

It feels kind of like Metroid Tread when you're running around. And platforming and shit. It's just incredible. Tons of moves, tons of styles or like different abilities like throw things out, keep the juggle going, walk to the other side of the screen, do a counter launch. Fuck it. Yeah. It's great.

Mm-hmm. Oh yeah. It's great. It also features like a new Metroid ability to steal, which is hit down on the D pad and it takes a screenshot of the room and then places it on your map as an icon. Whoa. So when you're running around, you can look at the screenshots you've taken to be like, oh, does my item fix that problem?

Hmm. Nice, okay, a little bit of a, like, you still use your own fucking capacity to solve the problem, we're not gonna give it to you. But yeah, it's like, you're not relegated to just using a question mark or a sort of icon. And you can do those too, but you can also take a screenshot of like, I don't know what item would fix this

traversal problem. So that's funny, because Dredge recently, I love that on the map, you can mark your little things that you encounter for your future reference, but there were not enough icons. You know, there was just like question mark, exclamation mark, diamond, you know, like whatever, and I was like, no, no, no, I kind of want, you know the types of things we're running into.

Like, yeah, I wish I had better variety, even though you have a good variety, but there's a bunch I didn't end up using. So that's cool. That's cool, that's good. That's it for the backlog games that I played this week. I tried to go back to, so when you were talking about Cruz, I was actually trying to go back to Runeterra this week because somebody told me they added Mordekaiser as a hero card, and I slammed into the worst card game

as a hero card, and I slammed into the worst card game wall I have ever seen in my entire life with trying to start playing Runeterra again. So at some point, after I stopped playing Runeterra, they changed their format from every card that's ever been available ever to standard and eternal, which is eternal is the mode that has every card ever. And then standard is only some cards. Oh, so it can be unlimited and current meta, right? And yet, right. And I'm like, well, I guess that's kind of

inevitable for most games that have these kinds of card games, right? And they have a rotation, so I'm like, oh, okay, so what is it like cards from this year that are good or whatever? And I went to my decks and saw that every single deck I had ever made in the history of the game was no longer valid. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, how is spider aggro not valid? That was a launch deck. Yep.

And so I'm like, oh, OK, I'll just go look up and see what like expansions are available. And I'm like, I can't find a list of what expansions are part of standard. And then I did digging and digging and digging and found out that there's no overall rule about what's included in standard or not. Oh my God. It is based off of the last year's rotation and what the devs thought were good for balance. Vibes.

Cool. Yeah, cool. And so like, card games will do like every, these expansions are currently on meta or the, or everything before this year is too old, except for the starting cards, right? Yeah, when you come back to Teppin, that feeling is brutal because it's like everything you've

made every deck ever doesn't work anymore. Sorry, fuck you, poor boy. The only things that matter and are allowed are the base. There's a base line that it's always there. And then only the latest like three or so expansions are allowed. So like, so like there, there's, there's, there's, there's, there. So, like, there's my cards that came launched with that are currently disabled. And so what they're like, well, what we want you to do is, you know, you click the, in the deck builder, you click on standard. So it'll just remove all the cards that are not currently available.

And then you make cards with that and it's like listen I was a terrible deck builder before when every card was available. I It's it's pushed me to net deck even harder But that's how you have fun with these games, right? I know but like Like it's just that whole, that was like an hour and a half of me going, like, what, what is the, how do I know which cards is good? And to even, why am I allowed?

Am I, can I use this? I don't know. Do they have like a replace system or a spectate thing where you can watch other people like, I don't know. Okay. I don't know. Okay. I don't know. Because the, in tap in the,

the fucking RE4 shop guy will be like, he'll provide you some, he'll serve up some replace of some strong players and then you can see what they're doing and then just copy their shit if you want to. You can get net net deck to like that. So yeah, I was a bit of a wall to hit into and I go, what's going on?

And I couldn't find out what was going on. Because the system they have now is like, well, all cards are eventually gonna come back at some point to some degree. And my brain then goes, well, which ones and when? They go, I don't know. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. And thathmm. Mm-hmm. That game is such a weird place because the system they use to give you cards is so generous and so consistently free that the game basically doesn't make any money and they've talked about how the game doesn't make enough money to generate a lot of support. So it's kind of in like a prolonged maintenance.

I'm like, do any, like what are there genres rotate content out of play? Like you stopped a war frame would sometimes do that, right? Kind of not really. Okay, that's a really complicated thing, but everything that really matters in Warframe you could always get. Okay. There's Fortnite.

Fuck that idea. And Destiny. But Destiny doesn't rotate it out. Destiny just removes it. Retire is it. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it's great. Cool.

So that's all the games that I played. However, here comes the story of my week. A story I have to preface with I have everyone involves permission to tell this story and everyone is fine at the end of this story before I even start. So my wife, Paige, has been feeling very tired lately because, you know, she got COVID and she just had a baby, right? So we go to the doctor and the doctor comes in and goes, Hey, how are you doing? She's fine.

She's just, well, we got your thyroid tests back, you know, and we think we might have a reason why you feel so tired. Your thyroid hormone is at 73 point something to which we ask, oh, is that high? She goes, it's the highest I've ever seen in my life. To which we go, well, what's normal? And she goes, well, what's normal? And she goes, well, five is high for normal circumstances. Uh-huh.

And we go, well, how bad is that? And the phrase that comes out of this person's mouth is, well, you walked in here and you're talking. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Okay, and she says, well, we want to run some extra tests. We go, okay, well, one of these tests, we get home and then Paige will have to go back the next day. So we're sitting there and we realized that one of these tests is a urine test, but it's a 24 hour urine test.

We didn't know what that meant. So we looked it up and then we called the office and we're like, well a 24 hour urine test is when they give you a big bucket and they tell you you fill the bucket all day and then you bring the bucket back It's a reusable item Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, this is like, you know, you got to give a sample. So, um, this, no, they need a whole day's worth of sample. Is it a sophisticated bucket with a seal for bio hazard and it's got to, you screw the top on. There's a top. There's a top. Yeah, there's a top You have to bring it back you said bucket. So I just that's I'm just trying to establish a jug It's like a jug. I'm just trying to establish it is not a pale

No, it's not a pale. Okay. All right. I need to be yeah, okay, so so So we're having a morning and pay just like well well, I got to go pick up my bucket. She walks out the house at 1130, right? And I got the baby. I'm taking care of the baby. And, uh, I'm like, you know, I'm not as well because I got to the beat the backlog stuff requires me to set up all the games beforehand and download them and make sure they track an OBS. So I'll take the baby to the office. all the games beforehand and download them and make sure they track and obey us.

So I'll take the baby to the office and then we'll, you know, me and the baby will set up beat the backlog and then I'll come back before Paige even gets back from the doctor. Okay, so I take the baby, you know, I get here and I'll lay this chair right here, I get here at 11.32, I am,

Paige left at 11.30 and I do all that stuff and then I go back and then page comes home around noon and we're sitting around and she's like Hey, where's Elmo? The cat. I go, I don't know, I'll go look for him. So it's noon now. So I'm looking around go look for him. So it's noon now.

So I'm looking around the house for Elmo. And by the way, this was like Wednesday, it says the coldest day of the year. And I'm like, that's crazy, it's 1220, I can't find Elmo. That's nuts. And she goes she goes well he's got to be here somewhere so she trades me the baby and she starts looking around the house now it's 1 o'clock and I check we got an automatic litter box for the cat that tells me when the cat goes to the bathroom. Last time, Kat, using the little box was 11.28 AM. One minute before me and Paige both walked out of the house.

Like, he couldn't have gotten out. I couldn't know it's impossible to see him. So now 2 p.m. Me and Paige are taking shifts, wandering around the neighborhood. No, no, no, no. Going out the window. No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Going out, oh, no, no. Are you in the bushes? No, no, no, no. No, no, no. Where are you? And then we come back and the person who was out cries and takes the baby and then the other one goes out. It's now three o'clock. I'm crawling underneath my house with the spiders.

In case he got out and he got into the crawl space, because it's where we're on on there than in the way oh no And then it's then it's 3.30 and we're both just sitting on the living room floor holding the baby bawling her eyes out going we killed him We let him out of the house and it's so cold and he's dead and he's dead now We killed him and then Paige goes back out onto the street to ask neighbors. And we texted all of our neighbors. And we've knocked on all of their doors and Paige is out in front of the house going, Elmo and crying.

And then I turn and he's coming down the stairs in our living room and he goes, and he's just there. I'm like, we went through every closet. We went through every single inch of the house. And so now we're looking at the cat, and we're going, you motherfucker, you fucking, now I'm having to read, I'm having to text neighbors, I haven't seen them in months, like false alarm, the guilt was in our house.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we look like idiots. in months, like false alarm, the guilt was in our house. And we look like idiots. And then the cat starts to go back up the stairs, and I'm like, okay, so I follow him. And he goes into the nursery, and he crawls through a crack in one of the closet doors. And he climbs under the under some of the boxes that we never unpacked from moving.

And he crawls into the bottom box in the back corner that you could never see without pulling every box. Because me and Pays went into that closet and we were like, hello, hello, and we shook all the boxes around and we checked it and we looked in them and he was like, who's just asleep for four hours? Who's just sleeping for four hours in a new spot? In a new spot that he decided he liked. And Paige was like beside herself because she's like, I was in a rush, I was upset about my bucket. I wasn't paying attention and I let him out and now he's dead and I was like I was I was I was I just wanted to

Fix up the work stuff and I let him out now. He's dead and we're just both blaming ourselves. Okay, like no The cat's fine cat's fine. So the problem the thing is is that you you check off gunned a piss bucket into this story. So, I was fearing the reason why. The second worst. So, the reason why. I included the piss bucket is one, it's really funny. And two, oh and Paige also screwed up the first day of using the piss bucket, so she has to do it again.

She forgot she wasn't paying attention and went to the bathroom like regularly and missed it, so she got to do a whole thing again. God. No, the reason is because she was like, we embarrassed and like pissed off about having me to get the piss bucket and she was in a rush to get there and back. She wasn't paying attention when she walked out of the house. Okay, okay. What kind of lead to this feeling of the possibility

of missing the being distracted, right? Okay. And I had the baby in a mess and that, so I was focused on the baby. Okay. So I was like, No, no, hold on, hold on. I need to, I did not say, my phrasing might have painted out and missed the toilet.

I'm saying she went to the bathroom and forgot to use her bucket. Okay. All right. Again, I thought by storytelling rules that the new hiding place was the one that just came home that was not there before. No, he would never be a fit in the bucket. I mean, I don't know. Like that's wild.

Also, it might have to be, I don't know what a day's worth is, but I imagine there's enough volume for others plenty. It's a nice big bucket. Cats can squeeze into all kinds of quarters. Yeah, you're right. So, and then though, all right. All's a nice big bucket. Cats can squeeze into all kinds of quarters, you know? You're right. So, and then the, all right. So, all's well that ends well.

And so, in the process of crawling around the house and looking everywhere, I discovered that I have made a mistake as a homeowner with my current yard. And that is, I was, you know, there's snow on the ground. And I'm so upset about Elmo, and I look around and I go, I forgot to disconnect the hose from that God damn.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no. And I go, I don't know much about it, but I'm pretty sure that's bad. That's done. So I go, well, I'll't know much about it, but I'm pretty sure that's bad. That's done. So I go, well, I'll just walk up to it and unscrew it. Yeah, right. So then I'll like, okay, okay, well that's not good.

All right, I'm gonna call a plumber, I'll call a plumber. And he's busy. So I'm like, well, I guess it's kind of up to me now. So I try it and I try it and I try it. Can't do it right. So I start looking up videos and first of all, I realize I've been turning the faucet the wrong way. I've been trying to get the faucet the wrong way.

I've been trying to get the hose off the wrong way. Righty, tidy, lefty, Lucy. Yeah, but that's the top of the thing. So I was doing it backwards. So I'll be okay. So now what do I turn it? Just handy, handy, whole man. Now, now, now when I turn it, I'll turn it the correct way

and I go to turn to the correct way. I'm like, no, that's not gonna happen. All right, well, let's go get some boiling water and, and a rag. Oh, that goes well. And we'll do that. And, uh, no. So, uh, I'm like, hmm, hmm, okay. Well, today's the first really, really cold day. Uh, all right. And then I walk into the house and I'm walking around like, hmm, what am I gonna do? And then I look over and I see the page has lit some candles

because she likes candles around the house, smells nice. And I go, ha! And I reach and I find her, she has one of those long candle lighters. Mm-hmm, The flame, yep. With the, you know, for like a, like a, you know, wood burning stove for like, you know, for safe candles things.

So I take that thing and I'll go outside and I just fucking light that thing up and just fucking run it over the bolt. Oh my God. For like five minutes. Came right off. There you go. Oh my God. For like five minutes. Get it right off. There you go. Came right off. And then, and here was the moment of truth. Then I turned the faucet.

And the water flowed out just fine, so the pipe is completely fine. Yeah. And then I sealed it back up. So modern day plumbing means that you don't have a fucking cabin up north, which is like if you don't kill a fucking cabin up north, which is like if you don't kill the water before winter, your fuck, your plumbing is fucked completely. Thankfully, that's not what's going on, but that hose is probably botched. Oh, the hose is abt checkly ruined. You cannot let it go through that kind of hole.

No, it's sitting outside in the shed, waiting until it I unthought so I can fucking throw it away. Yeah, okay, okay. But good solve. Yeah, so that was all one afternoon last week. Damn. So like, that was a bad day. Were you, were you wearing your plaid shirt while trying to solve the problem? I was. Damn. Okay. You had all the buffs, you had all the buffs in place. You had the right equipment. All right. Just

make it. I was wearing my red plaid shirt. Cause you have to put the right equipment on before the boss fight. Cause otherwise the fuck we do it here. All right, cool, cool, cool. I asked, I asked my chat the other day, I was like, do you got, like, because me and Paige, we just live in, in clown world. And I was asking like, do all of you guys live in clown world too? And the answer was no. Sometimes people visit, but it seems like only my wife and I just live in clown world. Yeah, I see clown world approaching from outside. I look out the window sometimes and we see it. Punch mom and I can see clown world starting to make its way over. And we, uh, we locked the fucking, you know, we both the doors and shut it, shut it down.

The plot mully with me. Just like clown world is coming from inside the house. The clown world is coming. like clown world is coming from inside the house. The clown world is coming. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha mean wheel for more beat the backlog go down to twitch.tv slash pat stairs at this week.

Good job. Let's get into some of these stories. Before that, I forgot something a very important note. I watched a movie. My wife and I managed to watch a movie for the first time since the baby was born. Oh, fuck. Wow, when you put it that way fuck

Damn wow, okay, yeah, all right. Whoo. Yeah Yeah, that's real. That's real. Okay, and we watched the whole thing through the whole thing. Yeah We watched a movie from 1995 starring Patrick Swazie We watched a movie from 1995 starring Patrick Swazie, Wesley Snipes, John Legguesamo, and Robin Williams called Two-Wong-Foo. Thanks for everything. Julie Neumar.

What possessed you guys To hit up to Wong food page was sitting around going Man, you should watch too long food and I'm like what the fuck are you saying to me? Wow And she's like yeah, so we sit down And we start watching too long food. Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar. You've heard of two-wong food before. Never heard of it.

You've never heard of two-wong food. No idea what I was sitting down. Nothing. Really? No idea. Wow. So to those of you who don't know, two-wong food, thanks for everything, Julie Newmar, is a story

about the characters played by Patrick Swazie, Wesley Snipes, and John Lake, Wazammo, who are all playing drag queens in 1995, New York City, who win an all-paid trip to Hollywood in order to compete in the US drag queen competition, nationals, but they can't fly. They'll have to drive. It's, that's one of, that's a fucking drag movie classic. It's clearly it's like as I'm watching it, I'm like, oh, you know, when you sit down, you're watching something,

you're like, oh, people are crazy about this fucking movie, aren't they? And unfortunately, you're like, oh, people are crazy about this fucking movie, aren't they? Hmm. And unfortunately, along the way, they get into some zany high janks where they may or may not kill a cop. So I get stuck in a podunk town and save the day using drag. Hmm. You picked a real interesting week to watch a movie

about a black man in a dress. I'll tell you what, because that's currently being that that's the discourse being discussed online anyway regardless. I actually don't know what you're talking about. Oh, there's a whole thing with like, oh, you know, when you get to Hollywood when they want to really like let you know what your place is. If you're if you're a proud black man, you're gonna try to stick you in a dress. Oh, that's the cat Williams. That's the conspiracy. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, that got a plus here. I'm trying to watch in this. And I'm like, Wesley went from this to starting the filming of Blade months later. Like, like, like one to the other. Months later, like, like, one to the other. And also, Snipes and Swayze and Legg was almost, kill it in drag. They're great.

They're legitimately fantastic. I remember it for some reason was, for like, do you, did you have, I think it was a channel 14, or no, that was, that was, Kennell plus for us. Well, I think it was 12, where, no, that was CFC of 12, whatever, there was a channel 14 or no, that was, that was Kennell plus for us. Well, I think it was 12 where, no, that was CFC of 12, whatever. There was a channel where they advertised pay-per-view.

And for some reason, they would always cycle through the latest, the pay-per-view movies, but they would have the latest WWF event, whether it was in your house or whatever, and to Wong-F Fu was always there. So on TV for years, to Wong Fu thanks for everything, the trailer would just play every single day. Hey, I need to stop somebody.

I'm seeing somebody in the chat who knows me, relatively well, I guess. Pat finally comes around on John Legg, Wasamo, listen, okay. Paige told me who was in the movie, and I'll be honest. She started to say John Lake, Wazamo, and I said, I'm not watching that. Okay, when I sat down to watch John Wick, and John Lake, Wazamo came out, I was tempted to turn it off.

I hate this Stupid fucking thing. The only movie I ever liked, a man is in collateral where he gets fucking murdered by Schwarzenegger. Got not spawned where he, he, uh, uh, uh, method acted to, that was the first time I ever saw him. And I was like,

and so what about, what about what about Romeo, post Juliet? I didn't see that. Where he's tibal, and he comes on, and he pulls the best off and kisses the gun. She's like, no, he's great because he's playing an annoying little shit head in the movie

and everyone hates him. And I went, I can deal with that. And then I'm sitting there watching Chi Chi be just the most extra piece of shit ever. And I'm like, no wait, my feelings about John Legg wasamo are the point. He is cast because the way he looks and acts causes a fucking like, oh, it's fucking guy reaction

in people's hearts. So you're down to watch what you hate as long as it's within the context of your hatred. Within the context, yes. Understood, okay, got it, got it. And this foundation in that movie is terrible. It's so like awful, it's awful. So awful, they pointed out at some point.

So yeah, great movie. All right. Super weird, super like it also meant, hey, you remember old, hey, so here's a fun thing. This movie came out in 95, right? Mm-hmm. And, you know, we gotta watch it, babies asleep, that's why we put the baby down early.

He fell asleep around like nine o'clock. And we're like, oh, we can watch it, babies asleep, that's why we put the baby down early. He fell asleep around like nine o'clock and we're like, we can watch a movie. But we gotta watch it low because the baby, right? So we turned it down low, but the version we found didn't have subtitles. So we're like, oh shit, what are we gonna do? So we just turned it down low and we're like, well, I guess we'll have to manage. And it wasn't a problem. This movie from 95 that we just had the volume down low, we understood everything and it wasn't a problem

and we could hear everything and we didn't need subtitles. You can just listen to it. So all the voice was clear. The mixing was clear. Huh. How about that? It made me super pissed off about how I need to watch

everything with subtitles now because Nolan fucked up all the mixing. But the other thing is that like it takes place in 95 and it takes place in the last second of the world in which people in the country of the US are like, oh, you guys are from the big city. What's that like? I've never seen it.

Cause the only time you'd ever see anything about the big city would be on TV or movies. And I'm just like, oh yeah, cause 96 was one. AOL got really popular and the internet happened and it ruined everything in our lives. Back when we were collecting, fucking, one cent CD subscription, flyers and shit. Sorry, you got really weird time capsule. So y'all moving on to Paris's burning next or. I don't know what that is.

1990, it's another drag movie. Maybe, I don't know. Okay. There's a whole road to go down there. All right, all right. I wanna mention that because it's great and I could hear it. Also the bird cage.

That's another one. I mean, I watched the bird cage back in the day. There's a scene from the bird cage that lives on in my memory forever. Every day, I think about the bird cage and I laugh and I laugh because do you remember what the impetus of the bird cage and I laugh and I laugh because do you remember what the, the fucking the impetus of the bird cage was?

Like why the congressman or whatever the fuck is hiding at the bird cage? So he's the PR guy for like a senator, right? And he's hiding in the bird cage because he doesn't know what to do. And he picks up the phone and like the congressman is dead. It's like he's dead on top of a hooker and she's underage and she's black and she's

talking to the reporters right now and then it's smash cuts to like a 10 year old black girl talking to reporters going, yeah, well, he was still smiling. So I just kept going. And I'm just like that is the most ultimate. We are nightmare. Oh, fuck. Oh, that's dark. Oh, wow.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Oh wow yeah okay yeah. All right established. Good stuff. Well I'm happy that you're able to catch a movie. Holy shit. I just remember birdcage came on in the middle of a Sunday afternoon and dad and I started watching it because I had Robin Williams in it. On TV. Yeah, it was on TV. Wow.

Okay. And we didn't know what it was. And my dad and I are watching it and we were having like kind of like a Homer Simpson Bart Steal Mill situation. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, okay, okay. Hey, what's my dad? It's like, what is, I, Rob and Willie, uh, interesting, interesting.

You know, I never, I never got to have any of those moments because that was all just the devil. Yeah, the devil. That was all just Satan. So there was no like huh Damn, I'm kind of jealous that would that that's so it's kind of fun I think that was when I found out the gay people existed I think sitting there and watching the bird cage was the intro where I was like huh

But their boys was like, huh? But there are boys. Huh? What? Interesting. Interesting. Yeah, no. That was all just, I mean, you're about that well before that, because that was all the way.

Because the devil, yeah. And there's there's scripture on it, you see. So. Okay. because the devil yeah and there's there's there's scripture on it you see so okay well let's let's get over to the news what's going on hey so tech n8 intro dropped and with that DLC number one Eddieordo. I need to ask you about that hair. That's, yeah, yeah. So here's what is, what is, what's,

what's out of touch? What is going on, right? What is going on? Okay, okay. Listen, because I'm like, oh, that's the hairstyle that Miles had in Spider-Man. It's the kill, it's the Killmonger. Yeah, black Twitter is very upset about the killmonger

because it's been, it's been seeing, it's been showing up a lot lately. And Miles got it and Echo has it and it's, you know, something that's popped up a lot ever since Killmonger. I will say that Echo's old Mohawk was trash. So it's a genuine improvement. And DJ from Street Fighter also got it, so I get that.

Personally, I think it's raddish shit and I fucking love that style. I think it's a good hairstyle. I think it's a super cool haircut, so I'm not on that train. I don't have- We have bald, so I don't really have a horse in this race, but it's pretty unanimous. But the Prince of Persia guy has it. Prince of Persia guy has it as too as well. Yeah.

That's when it hit me, is when I was playing Prince of Persia and then saw Eddie got announced. And I'm like, oh, what? Killmonger, Killmonger really made an impact and put it out there in a way that a ton of characters got updated with that. Coming from an era of nothing but afros or corn rows or shaved, you're like, okay, can we get some better

hairstyles? I've talked about this a couple of times before, and then it was one of those bits where you're seeing the one game that comes along that has a ton of really cool hair, and you're like, oh, fuck, this is dope, what's going on here? It's Hogwarts Legacy. They're like, yeah, awesome.

That's cool, moving on. Good. Good to hear that. But the thing with this now is that's, yeah, black twitter is pretty unanimously tired of the hairstyle. Me and Keti are not. I love that shit. I think it's super sick.

I'm not gonna fucking sit here. I pretend that I think it's a bad look because I don't. I'm really torn because I'm all the way out. Not just because I'm white, but I'm fucking bald. Right? Like I'm all the way out. And it just like I still remember just like every single time a game would come out

and was like this dude's hairstyle is trash. Or the only available hairstyles available for black people are terrible. Like there was the time that was bald and fade and afro. And those were your three choices. That's it! That's all you get. Ever. You know, it's that it's that thing worth like Hey, you know how like animating long hair is too hard for an era of the video games

So everyone has short little every girl has short cropped fucking little bit And it's like guys a space marine. Yeah, it's just it's that except it's from the entire inception of fucking black people in video games to Now, you know it took years was wild And then you get like a barit and you're like okay. There's a mr. T going on Black people in video games to now, you know, it took years was wild. And then you get like a baritone, you're like, okay, there's a Mr. T going on, I guess, and that's something. But yeah, I get the overused part because it has popped up a bunch since Black Panther. I'm not going to fucking deny that. There's a ton of other characters that Fortnite and characters from games I haven't played as well. That I'm seeing it where I'm like, I'm sure if I was out there playing these two,

I'd see it more often, but I think it's super sick. I love the side cut, like kinda look to it. I've rocked that a bit myself with my dreads by putting it in that, or like, so I'm like, I'm super down, I'm not gonna fucking complete. I think Eddie Gordel looks dope. I'm really happy with it. It's also cool that I like that he has that kind of barefoot, like with the wraps kind of look on his feet as well. Um,

Eddie's always had really sick designs. And I mean, this is from, you know, the one of the characters that was an origin of me being like, yo, dreadlocks look fucking sick, right? Early on in, that was one of the inspirations that made me want to get them. Um, Early on in that was one of the inspirations and then made me want to get them So yeah, he's he's a great design. It was always just the shaft of him being story-wise under Lucky Chloe that was the worst shit ever and and you know again Kenny's fucking Curse has has finally been lifted and but when you scroll down of course

There's people in that announcement being like, oh, I wanted it to be lucky, Chloe. It's just like fucking fallen off well. I was gonna come back for a while, guys. Maybe, maybe who knows. Yeah. No, I think you look super cool, man. And I'm sure there's gonna be a customization option so that you can put up the old style back on.

Like most of these games always have the ability to do that. So if you want the old dreads, I'm sure you can get them on. But yeah, man, I fucking love what they're doing. I think it looks great. Bro, I want tech and to play good on the internet. I'm afraid, I'm so worried. Fingers crossed.

Remind reminds me. Oh fucking Keats was on Twitter the other day gone. Hey, it's been like three years since I had to say like people deserve better net code. Because games coming out nowadays they got that good net code. And I just said, what about Tekken? And he just posted like a fucking, it's funny. It's funny.

It's funny. The problem is that when it's one of the tent poles of the genre, it fucking hurts everything, right? You need the tent poles to be solid all around. We shouldn't have to worry about the major entries in FG and fighting games being a fucking having bad net play, man. So, um, yeah, yeah, we'll see. Of course, with that intro too, you get the, you know, the set up, the introduction of all the characters, fighting, drawing the line, the bird flying and such. And you see the bird that, you and you see the bird that represents the piece of

John that's that's returning and stuff flying from behind gin and you're just like the purest protagonist only gin can save this world, you know, right? And like we have to take down the evil kazooia and our hero is here. Meanwhile, we can never talk about Miguel ever again, by the way, because I don't know if you know Miguel's story. I don't. Miguel's story is, I'm a cool guy, being the coolest with mishades, relaxing explosion.

Oh no, that church that just got bombed by fucking a Jets from gin, killed my sister because Jin's war is as a cell to start is murdering everybody. What the fuck? Why did my sister die for nothing? And and his entire character represents fuck you, Jin. And we can't we can't bring that energy. Can energy can there's two things going on with tech and story. Just absolutely absolute nonsense. The first of which is that the way that they like apparently Harada wanted Jen to

be evil, but the team wanted him to be good. No, other way around, I think the other way around. Harada wanted Jen to be the protagonist and the team were pushing for the. Okay, well, yeah, that has resulted in weird things like Tekken 6 where Jim causes a world war to get nothing done. I think, I think 30% of the population of Earth or so kill it. He wakes up a evil, I straggant and then he beats him up and then it doesn't do anything. And now the ice dragon is in Zafina's arm well it was it the other way it was the team that wanted

him evil and or or her I don't want to meet the people the people as they disagree they disagree that was the fight yeah or the second thing and most people wouldn't pick this up because it's stupid and then it's like Tekken 4 to now is like a year. Like, well, maybe the world war that we're talking about that was two games ago was like a couple of months back. It's two seconds ago. Oh, fuck. So Yoshi Mitsu just like switching bodies up every two weeks.

There have been fucking four five six seven. There are been five. Fire fist tournaments. Yeah. In one year. No, I don't I don't I don't know the actual time. Well, it's it's there's there's like there's a gap somewhere there between the unlearning of the Mishima style and the introduction of one of Hachi's many bastard children.

And then the CG movie. But fucking, yeah, the wildness of framing him as the hero here and and I guess the only thing they're doing is he's going People like us shouldn't exist. So there's a bit of that like remorseful. Don't worry I know that I'm bad too in this sort of vibe, but like People are digging deep. There's also six months between three and four so like Bro, look like three to eight is like maybe 18 months look I just You never dropped an Obama of drone strike on a wedding man

You don't know that on a wedding man. You don't know that. Right? Like, can we, like, come on. How am I supposed to root for this dude? What the fuck are we doing here guys? Can we just like, Kyoko Senagi sealed the fucking Arochie and then some other cool guy showed up and every once in a while he's like, yeah I remember high school. I think I think the combination of Tekken having like a resident evil ass nonsense story is Really funny, but I think having the audacity of having Brian Cox get you up to date with the story so far in Tekken One the Tekken story is complete nonsense is even better damn

They could have hired me no I haven't seen it yet actually it's the fucking Stupidest thing you could ever watch. So I did see as well, shot out, Saviour Wood Austin Creed did have another story video that came out about a month ago or so. So they're, yeah, they're recapping a lot of this. I haven't seen the Brian Cox one though.

I did, it was recommended for Slopstream. I'm gonna take that out. He is walking around on the volcano on a green screen talking about a bunch of characters whose names he's reading off a chart that he can't pronounce. It's incredible. I mean, it's either that or fucking Ace Combat, man. Right? So I prefer Ace Combat.

Okay. Okay. Well, got that JPEG dog in there. I don't. I prefer it's combat. Okay. Okay. Got that JPEG dog in there. I I don't I don't want I want whatever the fuck we're hearing about here I want I get all the celebrities to salvage this shit like to do whatever you can fucking You know just just get get the the the full works on it because I'm just this is a the full works on it because I'm just this is a they're setting this up to be I guess what feels like perhaps the conclusion of this character arc. Like keep saying that. But what does that what does that truly mean right like you're is casual you're gonna die actually though or is this the beginning of many deaths for him. Or the continuation actually considering pre- uh okay. He already died! Yeah yeah yeah. You got burnt up in a volcano! Alright I don't know um Eddie, Eddie looks cool, that's good for somebody. Yeah. He looks cool. And law is on the wrong side of law because-

Wow. Because when Paul is fighting him, Paul is on the genocide in the intro. So it looks like people like, like, like, law who hate rich people. He's going to fight for Kasia. And- Kasia's also rich. Maybe he just needs rent paid. I don't know. Um, and, and as

Usena, the cool coffee queen is also like, yeah, the G corp's better for ads. Sponsors, my coffee, baby, let's go. I love it. That's great, actually. What? You, you're just cool new character with these fun wholesome vibes and you your fucking business ethics are not existed. I don't know if you know this but coffee business ethics are violent and evil and horrible. There is a horrendous history and perhaps that is canon to this character. Perhaps we are just seeing the truth with the Peruvian blend. I mean wow with that. She's with a smile on her face and a wink. She's like, yeah, it's better for the ads though. Uh, correct. Just insane with that. All right. Also, I would like to call attention to the best part of the recent

tech and announcements, where they basically did a little summary and showed you the 30th anniversary pack, which is going to include, it has a top picture of the timeline of all the Tekken games. This is the 2024s, the 30th anniversary, and the screenshot they have of Tekken 2. Yeah, I would have thought it. If you zoom in on that picture, the cover of Tekken 2 is a little bit... Seems weird, it seems too many characters in it. What's that face in the quarter? Is that fucking Dante from Marvel vs. Capcom infinite? It's a fucking meme version that has Andy and Dante and Ugly Chris and Chun Lee on it. Chun Lee from Marvel Infinite, it has the guy from, uh, yeah,

has Andy from the simple 2000 fucking KOS. Like what are we? Like you're the first time they've done that by the way. Yeah, I love it. Every time they you every time, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh a Namco social media puts up a screenshot of the Tekken 2 box art. It's always that meme version. God bless the SEO that makes the meme replace the default when you search it into Google.

That's great. That's the best outcome ever. Now, a quick Google search at a drop in place and they don't even look twice. Whatever the graphic designer's doing two, they're just again, Okami, fucking IGN logos, a meme versions of boxes. I love it. Beautiful. So that there you go. Now, meanwhile, speaking of fighting game companies, we got another one here, but this one, this story is a little bit more complicated, it seems. So originally, the story was Capcom is adding DRM enigma to their back catalog of games starting with a Resident Evil Revelations.

And it was reported that this prevents modding, a prevents cheat engine and reduces performance by 10 to 15 FPS, causing stutters regularly. And all of this was, of course, very believable considering their statements on mods being just as bad as cheats or no different from cheats and that they are a violation of public order and morals without permission. Willie, why are you saying believable? I saw a guy on the steam forums say that the DRM got added and it broke all the mods. Well, it turns out according to some research done from the fucking 2bf Reddit even. So I follow Lance McDonald who did his own research

and I also spoke with Hitchhiker, the DMC moderator at long length about this. So there's at least three sources that went way into this. Yeah, there's a lot of misinformation about this. So there's at least three sources that went way into this. Yeah, there's a lot of misinformation about this. Mainly the stuff implying that it doesn't boot on Steam Deck anymore after these updates is not true. It's just not true. The apparently this has been something rolled out on a couple other older games and in those cases it doesn't do checks for

File hashes it only looks for script mods so if there's any just model replacement or like visual mods in games that work That should still continue to be fine also this Ignatement enigma thing has been part of like over 30 Capcom games that have come out over the past like decade and It's been part of them the whole time. Okay, so My favorite part the update that That broke this It was a bad update that was supposed to fix a gun that had like a bad hash file in revelations that had like a You select it and had question marks. That was the intent of the bug fix

And then it was discovered that it was a bad bug fix and it was rolled back Within five minutes So this update was only live for five minutes like literally and then they undid it But there was a thing implying that they're gonna reroll out of, I guess a working version, which then was part of the, the, again, the backlash here. So does it, is this what they would call a nothing burger?

I believe that someone in the chat says good. Now roll back the other games you broke. That didn't happen That's the point somehow one guy on the steam forums and one guy's Twitter account Just said it and it became a news story But it didn't happen But it didn't happen

Mods didn't break games booted on steam deck fine DRM didn't get added was there anything about the Yeah, was there anything about the reduced performance at all or was that was that Yeah, it for five minutes. Yeah, okay Literally five minutes, like does Capcom not wanting you mod their games, particularly on stream or with YouTube or social media. Yeah, they should. They should ban those monster hunter guys. So this made it easy to believe.

They're being garbage about that regardless, but yeah, okay, but this whole thing is not a thing. that regardless, but yeah, okay, but this whole thing is not a thing. Um, it was, but I, I, I, like, as I, I put it in, I can ask you a question, though you may not be able to answer because you're not American. Um, I've heard the term people, I've seen people say the phrase nothing burger in, in my chat before. And I'm like, why do the Americans have to add the word burger when the word nothing is fine?

Yeah. Like, you can say, oh, it was nothing, but they have, oh, what a nothing burger. Like, does it must be a burger? I don't, you know, I don't know. I don't really know. But it strikes me. I feel like when my brain, when I close my eyes and I try to like world the world,

the world ends with you, target where it comes from, I feel like it's a internet, setter left, liberal kind of thing to say, to just call things burgers. I don't get it. I don't know. Is this like the gate thing that Americans do? Where everything, everything's a gate.

Everything gate gate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think so. I think so. Perhaps maybe, maybe should we call things a syrup? Can we call it a nothing syrup? For us, can we translate? Most Americans describe all things with food-based suffixes. We tried most Americans describe all things with food-based suffixes. Oh my God. That is wild. Okay. Yeah.

I guess so. In any case, when I saw this, this story that wasn't a thing popping up, I didn't catch the steam not working part until like the steam deck. Yeah. And I was like, what, like, what? Um, anyway, so just so yeah. No, I spoke with hitchhiker. I fall. I'm smacked on old who's the guy who did like bloodborne 60 FPS and, and all that technical stuff. And the general consensus is, um, Hey, this is broken. And then people went to check it and go, what are you fucking talking about? Like to be fair to be fair Capcom's bad behavior with striking people's channels made it a rich

Environment to believe it's very Cromulent it really it they created a It's very cromulent. It really, really is. They created a situation of cromulancy. Can we call this discussion of the inception of burger, burger gate? Yes, we could. We could call it burger gate. Alternatively, a scandal that is actually not a big deal.

You could call it gate burger. Yeah. gate burger. Yeah, all right. Dude, I married to an American. They're crazy. What a weird All right, what's going on over here? So, Game Shark accidentally leaks the Switch 2's release date according to a press release. That's so funny, dude. And no, the funniest is how this story is being reported on and like in the fucking byline at the bottom is like game shark is now known as A.R. Shark A.R. Shark and everyone's like, who the fuck up? No one cares. And they're like, no guys. Don't you know about we've

rebranded as a nuke and they're like, shut the fuck up. No one cares. What are you talking about the switch to? And Jason Trier has reached out and apparently they have clarified that they're just taking a guess actually. They do not have the Nintendo console release date, but their guess was that it would be out. Um, it sounds like a shark burger to me. Shark burger, shark gate, even. Um, yeah, they put fall 2024 as their guess. I think the wildest thing about a switch speculation that I've ever heard in my life

was I've spoken to people who said that yes, a switch HD or whatever the fuck you switch plus, DevKits did go out and then in time, and I was like nah. It's your nah. Yeah, like, I mean, if it's anything like previous like what you what people will have a lot of the time in advance is like a code name or a three letter code or something like that you'll have the you know RVL for the revolution and so on but yeah no they're saying that

it's just a guess and it's like okay oh, okay. All right. Well, thank you game game shark And the successor to the switch coming next year is just unbelievable. What a crazy news like yeah I mean the timing would make sense and they're like actually we're not game shark anymore and everyone's like Will you shut the fuck up? Like the if you want to be really cynical you could imagine that this whole thing is so that the like the switch to rumor is associated with a r shark Hey, do you guys remember we continue to exist? But even I think that's a little bit too simple cynical

I want I want a i shark to be i shark, which is like a little shark girl like an anime thing, but that already exists There's a fucking Vtuber shark girl and and yes, she's insanely famous. She's like the most just one of the biggest of all the tubers Wow Are we gonna get him back? Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Are the V-Tubers coming to get us? What's gonna, oh no. Damn. The V-Tube conversation will not happen. Oh, God.

BRB. Well, that was weird. Very weird.R.B. Well, that was weird. Very weird. Okay. Um... Well, all right, whatever. Quick Discord restarting and seems like we're all good. Yes, we were in the middle of discussing Mori-Kaliope. And I believe her... Wait, is that the right one no girl you fuck oh my bad Are you serious? Yeah, I I I

I remember I'm in hollow live there was there's the shark one and then there's the other one No, not that one God you sound like an old man How are you not up to date with people's favorite internet anime girls? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have said this. Christ. Oh, did I get the name right of the other one? That was right, wasn't it? Kali?

The one who's a fan of your channel? My, my, I didn't get the right one. I'm sorry. I'm sorry The shark one is pretty strong in the in the vampire survivors game though. She's got the bite attack and that's pretty good. Jesus All right look That's pretty good. Jesus shit. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha the AI shark, SAG Afterer have negotiated an AI voice acting deal. And it appears that it went through and it has... And everyone clauses. It has clauses that allow everybody to get whatever terms they want. And it's got all kinds of consent forms and signups and details and things that are going to allow voices

to be, yeah, the voice actors to safely have digital integration of their voices and replicas that are all contractually on all above board. The problem appears to be, however, that they forgot to actually ask any voice actors whether they were okay with the deal and whether or not they wanted to approve it. Every single voice actor that I follow or see on social media went, what the fuck you sign it? I never even saw it! Like literally like Steve Bloom,, oh, what? And they're like, yeah, I don't know. It's cool, guys.

It's cool. Don't worry about it. It's cool. So, you know, that's, that's, it sure doesn't make strikes over these things seem undermined at all when, you know, the people that are one step above that are supposed to be negotiating on your behalf and fighting aggressively and withholding work for your exact rights, then immediately go

and forsake that same idea for a different deal. Also, here's the fun part. Part of the agreement is right of refusal to allow AI. You have to be contacted and contracted and agree to the use of your license and AI thing, blah, blah, blah. But there's no actual ban on it or anything. So they can just keep shopping around actors until they find somebody who's cool with it. And then scan them in. Now, if this is what was broker,

if the deal was brokerage specifically with the union, then is this also a case of like, well, basically there now the official go to deal that is whatever they paid, whatever this going on on that level is happening completely behind the actual actor's negotiation. It's not part of their contract or if it is, it's just covered by SAG

so they don't get to interface with that aspect of it. That's fucked up. If so. Also, somebody in the chat asked a really good question. Wait, first try to refusal. Do you mean that the provision to be AI scanned is on by default? I do mean that.

You have to opt out. So yeah, literally all the major known voice actors are like what the fuck is happening. We'll see where this goes, but. Oh, man, it's's just it's literally the same The sag after it that we were just we're just striking over Yeah, cool um

In the meantime somebody look at the check the clock. What's the number at for for Fireings this year? Oh, it's all we've almost caught up throw a cup last year for throw a couple more on The the lost boys interactive Company another embraceer group acquisition Have lost a quote-unquote significant amount of their workforce doesn't have a number yet their workforce doesn't have a number yet. But it's putting the Embracer group layoffs at close to 1,000. So yeah, just click the numbers up in the corner right there.

Just high score. I believe we ended on the leaderboard note last week actually. Is it actually, has it surpassed last year in literally January? Not yet, but it's, we're like 30, 40% there. Oh man, by the way, to follow up on the voice acting thing. I mean, if you're an actor or voice actor and you're afraid of AI, you can all stand, you know, you can all just think about standing in solidarity and everyone working together, you know, like,

Tara Strong or Nicki Minaj. Have you not seen this? What happened with that, might have missed it. Oh, 12 hours ago, Tara Strong was fucking posting a bunch of fucking AI art and people were like, that's AI art, Tara. And she goes, yeah, isn't it cute? And then people just slapped her comments from earlier in the year of like, I don't know how to combat people stealing our voices for use an AI thing.

And Nikki did the same thing a little bit ago where yeah, he's against AI for voices, but for for art. Yeah. Well, it's different. Well, it's different when it's my job. It's different. Or was it was it's my job. It's different. Or was it, was it, was it, uh, was it Nolan who had the, uh, you can create or you can,

you can leave whatever NFT thing? I don't want to, I don't want to get the wrong person on that. I think it was Nolan. Like with the fucking, yeah, all right. I think you're thinking of Troy. I'm I think of Troy. Sorry, with the fucking, yeah, alright. I think you're thinking of Troy. I'm I think of Troy. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I didn't want to get the wrong. You're thinking of Troy.

Yes, Troy. It was Troy. My mistake. Nolan, Nolan, sorry. Seems to be a sweetie pie. My mistake. Who does no wrong? Okay. Yes.

Troy on the other hand. That's why I say it with uncertainty there. Yeah, okay. Yeah. That's what they're doing. Right. Ah. The future is bright. That's why I say it with uncertainty there. Yeah, okay. Yeah Right The future is bright Page backing you backing you into a corner yelling 18 year old spider-man until Troy Baker left

Is getting less embarrassing over time? See becomes more unlikable Do you ever remember that? I don't. That was at fucking God. What was it? It's in Texas for the Rooster Teeth thing. At that after-party show, we're a page. And what was it? Jam got wasted and started dancing 18 year old spider-man at you and you just backed into a corner because the women were being crazy. Oh, I saw that and I was like, I'm out of here. Oh, a jar. Jars.

Jars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Yes, now remember, yeah, all right. Yes, yes. With stands, that's right.

Okay, yeah. Woof. Mm-hmm. That one was, that one was a, rar'd up. That was archived. Just take this memory and just put it into the away box You know what it's been replaced with I'll tell you what fucking have you been keeping up with Bayblade burst?

I sat down in this chair and like all right podcast today. Let's look at social media. Wolley versus has retweeted some children playing with their bay blades. And I'm like, oh, oh, first it's kites in the sky and now it's tops on the ground. I mean, I already liked it, but I just retweeted it for everyone's quick reference

when I fucking tell them that. Yeah, no, they got projectiles and shit now they have stands The the Beyblade has a disconnecting top component which also fights in the ring at the same time And there are now long range stand users in the Beyblade battle Beyblade burst fucking surge rip rip rip rip rip. Incredible. I don't know, Willie. I don't know. I don't know about these bay blades. One of those things cost. Oh, I like $20. I've $30.

I'd rather save up my money to get Virgil in peak of combat. I have you heard that he's on sale? Well, I mean, $20 to $30, that seems like you should be able to easily afford Virgil. What, what's the problem here? Well, you see, well, a Virgil right now on peak of combat, the mobile DMC gain, is 67% off.

That's crazy, right? That's a huge discount. That's pretty good. Mark's all the way down to 100 US dollars from 300. Oh, man. God, like, I, you could just, everyone could smell from the outskirts this thing, popping up like, oh, and it's like,

hey, would you like to, I wouldn't thank you very much. I appreciate the, but no, I won't be the thank you. And then it's like, every style is a different split thing. And it's got PVP and you always wanted PV. Let's do it, it's a Gacha game, but the fuck there's like fucking seven characters. So you gotta split them up. Every style is its own fucking fit.

And then you're just like, and the last little bit there is like, hey, fucking new music from everybody that fucking does it, right? Casey working on a new track and that's super sick. And it's just that you can your ears can still appreciate the awesome new music regardless. But I think it was just on the actual DMC like subreddit, there was like someone just posted like, you know what I'm asking. And it's just DMC too, DMC Devil May Cry launch, and then peak of combat.

And it's like, which one? It's really great. You know the question. I mentioned it to Willie Wright before we started, but today is January 15th, 2024, which means today is the 11 year anniversary of DMC devilmate cry. So we can all think back to our happy memories of that game, including ones that I forgot. That's the important one to mark the anniversary. I actually forgot. People's the important one to mark the anniversary of. Yeah. I actually forgot.

People were talking about like the what was more offensive than that games like portrayal of women is that they were telling you that like oh man those girls and those other DMC cry games. They're hookers dressing like strippers. Do you remember that? Uh, with-with cat? Or, uh, yeah. And then somebody linked me to the fucking final fight between Virgil and like cat hides behind a trash can? For that fight? Sure! She goes and hides in the garbage? Yeah. Happy anniversary to the Snipe abortion.

Oh man. And the Virgil Mobile. And the edited out Virgil Fedora. People don't remember. Right, right. The definitive edition cut his Fedora out of the game. He wears a Fedora from most of the game in the original release. Man, look, they get, yeah, it gets credit for the for the the updates the from the community rolling and for the the Fox News stage that shit was fucking sick. That was that was great sick visually. Yes, running through the chirod is visually sick. It's not very sick gameplay-alooly.

Nice. I tried. Did it. You know what does appear to have sick gameplay-ly-ly? Woof. Don't, please don't. Grand Blue Fantasy Relink has a demo out. Oh, does it?

Yeah. I actually was downloading it just before we started. I didn't have time to to boot it up unfortunately I should try that but if you were looking go grab that that's the the action one that we've been staring at trailers for for like four years now It looks really cool. I've been just curious to see because it's like is the platinum logo gods? I've been just curious to see because it's like, is the platinum logo God? It's ever interesting to see what a platinum game looks like after you remove all the platinum from it.

After you remove the platinum. And the answer is, apparently, it's pretty good. It looks pretty cool. It looks pretty cool. You know, I mean, honestly, between this, Prince of Persia and a bunch of other shit, the concept of the aerial rave style switching character or weapon switching character is like, it's pretty well disseminated into the action world now. You know, a lot of people are aware of the concept of stylish action and applying it to their games and that's

cool. It took literally decades for it to disseminate, but it did. The idea of like making your moves smoothly seamlessly go from one into the other in a fighting game like way, just it, we're finally here. So that's nice. But yeah, I, I, I, I, remember platinum never loses its luster ever. Ever. It is, it is like non it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, people say that they enjoyed the the Saraza game. You're right. I did hear I did hear that that game was pretty good. So being truthful like that that that that I caught, you know, so I'm not I'm not too sure. But I I mean, I could go find out, but I'd rather and I'm sure you'd rather

fucking play rocket knight, resparked. I'm, you know, I'm, I'm very happy that finally a game is coming out that will stop that stupid conversation. Bring it bring it bring it bring it. There we go. There we go. There we go. There we go. Yeah. Yeah. That is Sparks. Sparkster! You know, it'll come out and we can just put it to everybody and go like, which one of these do you guys like better? Also, which one of them is which?

So, did you look at the screenshot because there was no trailer release, but there was a picture? There was a screenshot and you know what the screenshot is? It's of the original game. Well, that makes sense. This is the first one. So it seems like it is it is a collection and some features. Not any. Not any sort of it says it's all three rights, which means it includes that's got

awful third one. So rocket night adventures, resparked collection includes or is includes rocket night. One rocket night to sparkster these for the Genesis and then sparkster the Super Nintendo game as well. It doesn't include that god awful third one. It does include well no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no You were shitting on the SNES. God, I'm this fucking series. I thought you were shitting on the SNES one, and I was like, no, I'm so confusing. I was about to come at you sideways, bro. Jesus Christ. I was loading the fuck up to come at you sideways.

But yeah, okay, the 3D one, no. The 3D one has been put into the memory hole. It has been completely annihilated from existence. I swallowed by the pale. The 3D one has been completely swallowed by the pale. There's no acknowledging it. It worst named series ever, ever. So fucking confused.

Like, people nowadays, it doesn't happen anymore. Like in the 90s, when you'd have fucking a Genesis version and a super Nintendo version come out and they hit the same name and they were completely different fucking games. Like a Latin. Like, because it was,

back in the link. Because all that mattered was, hey, remember the movie by this? That's all, shut up, right? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tournament fighters. Completely different games on every single platform. That's all. Shut up, right? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament fighters. Completely different games on every single platform. That name is completely different. Insanely different. You know, who cares? Shut up, bite. You recognize the thing. And yeah,

you have other people on the chat right now going there were three rocket night games before the model one. Yeah, there were three. Rocket Knight one, rock for the Genesis, Rocket Knight two, Sparxter for the Genesis. Which is called Rocket Knight two. It's just called Sparxter. The protagonist from Rocket Knight, and then the SNES game, which is also called Sparxter. Sparxter, which is a spin-off of Rocket Knight two.

And that's the one that I know, because I didn't have a genesis, I had a SNES. These, oh my God. Fuck. Well, look, at the end of the day, they're fucking great. So this is- They're all great, yeah. We don't argue about which ones are like better,

but like they're genuinely all fantastic. Super, just one of those things that like when we would, yeah, would rent forever because we never bought a copy when I couldn't afford games. It was just like rent, rent, rent, rent, rent. It's so fucking good. Someone in the chat asks, is he a mouse? No, he's an opossum. He's an opossum with a night armor and a sword and a jet pack. It's, it was, it, it, this shit's 95, 96, man. He would, a you animal character.

But mask, one of the best mascot characters, fucking, fuck that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that,

that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, Rocket Nightman. This guy should have been in fucking Smash Brothers. So to be honest, like it would be nice to see someone, like even if they never want to acknowledge the 3D one, I would love to just see like, discussion of it in some form. Like it's so weird that a failed game can come out, but because it was digital only, you can just pretend it never happened. And same thing for the Ninja Turtles, Turtles and Timerimake, like bad, published games that came out on disk.

I'm sure there's companies that would love to pretend they never happened, but your Bomberman Act Zero is still gonna be there in Dalorama if you get lucky. It'll never go. There were so many copies of that fucking game. Everywhere, you know, but like it's just crazy that yeah, because of the digital only forum

It's just nope. We never ever ever you never heard of it. You never saw it if you didn't play it for the couple of months that it was available Um, apparently this collection Respart has Yeah, so a couple things one One, a rewind feature, which sounds pretty fucking sick. There's parts of those games that are hard to shit, so yeah, that's nice. Boss Rush Mode, Museum Mode with Neo4j Scene Content, and, yeah, a new animated intro from Studio Miele, which is really cool. I met the head of that studio, an animation team that does a lot of work for a couple different projects and games and stuff. Real good people over there and

they do some stylish work. So awesome that they got this gig on a fucking six series. Yeah. I feel like whenever we talk about Beloved Konami franchises, we criminally neglect to mention Rocket Knight because it doesn't come to mind this quickly. Nobody talks about Rocket Knight. No, it would be good. Why no noise about rocket night? Rocket night is not coming to Smash Brothers. No, it's not. The ones that mattered came to Smash Brothers.

I could have seen an assist trophy for Sparks, too. But while it's not gonna join Snake and Simon and everything that you know, it's fucking incredible, a really good platform series. So, yeah, take note of this one, push in the announcement, coming out on everything. And it's nice that it seems, there's not enough details,

but it seems like it's like relatively untouched. Seems like they're just putting the new shit and the original's only, just collected. Yeah, we will see, there's no trailer yet as of yet, so And I don't think we got a release date either so cool Yeah, okay, that was pretty much it So no, well, let's grab some letters. Hey, if you wanna send it a letter, send it to

kesslesuperbestmail.gmail.com. That's castlesuperbestmail.gmail.com. We got one coming in over here from Chris from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Hello, dear Maguro Wollully and Ebby Pat. What kind of sushi do you like? Any go-tos on the menu when you go to a sushi restaurant? Yeah. For me personally, I love sashimi. I love the just the nice clean fish cut, even without the rice. I love that. I love tasting it, however good the fatty cut itself is.

Big fan of that. And for the actual rolls, it's not classic in any way, shape, perform, it's modern shit, but I love the cream cheese ones, the Philadelphia rolls, or the kamikazis that have a little bit of cream cheese in them. It hits really good when that's a part of the inside. I love those so much. So I don't know if you remember this, Wolley. Back when we used to go for sushi every now and then. I don't know what sushi's are called.

Every time sushi comes up for food or restaurant, I look at the massive, gigantic list of choices and I can't remember wishes which, and I just panic, and I just tell whoever I'm with to order a whole thing, and then I just eat off the plate. I feel like we got a boat with fuggins, and you kinda just made him, you just went, you do it.

Yeah, I don't know what, I don't know what the fishes are. I believe that's what happened. My wife is in the chat right now, sighing in frustration. Okay, can you describe the ones that you like the taste of? I like the cheese ones and the ones with the salmon in them. The okay. And I like the chicken ones ironically.

Oh yeah, yeah, that's, they're all pretty good. Mm-hmm. I mean, it's, it's like you got your... Also, I can't, I can't eat sushi right now. Because when after the baby was born, page was like, I can finally fucking eat some sushi. And we had sushi and sushi and sushi and sushi. Okay, okay. And I had to actually be like, I will sit here and watch you eat it. I can't do it. Yeah. Any more. Fair enough, you can definitely overdo it.

And I don't know about you, but when I overdo it on something, I can't eat it for like a year. Well, I haven't overdone anything in a while. So, page, I know we had it three times, that's many times. The variety's pretty good with it though, admittedly. With sushi, you can always go grab the kinds that you don't like and there are not. But only if you know what they are.

If you know what they are. Because you're smart. If you know the Macchi versus your sashimi. You're just going to eat with the Macchi. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fair. I mean, look, when there's the pictures, you can see the macchi. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fair. I mean, look, when there's the pictures,

you can see the ones that are like, ooh, this one has a little drizzle cream on it. It helps with the pictures. This one looks like a cone. It helps with the pictures. We know what's stupid is my favorite thing to get a sushi restaurant as a goza. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

By far. But you kind of Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. By far. But you kind of want to taste it though. Like it's just, there's a, I know the deal. It's a, it's the same thing everywhere you go to because it's the same fucking type. It's the packaged version of it you're getting. But yeah, I just kind of want to have some of it sometimes. The quality of the, of the horse radish and wasabi, though, is important.

That should need to fucking... I want some good kick, and I wanted to do the whole palette cleanse. But yeah, I like the ones that are simple. I like the ones that are even without the rice, just the simple meat cut. I like when I go to a sushi place and the conveyor belt go by and I go, I'll eat that and then I take it, but then I don't know what it was. Yeah. I and this, this is one that like me and Punch Mom disagree on, but like,

I'm not a huge fan of edamame. That's all right. I, because I like, I don't like like that the outside of the shell gets coded, but the thing inside is not, and that you're eating it and then separating it. I'm like, why not just shell it first and then put the seasoning on the thing that you're gonna swallow?

It feels like putting a, it's like a sunflower seed, which I also, I'm like, also, I don't like that process. I wish that the inside thing you were going to eat was already done. Am I? Wait, what? Beans, right? Edimame beans. The green beans.

The green beans. Yeah, there's like a pod, and then there's beans in the pod pod and then they usually season the pod itself instead of the beans inside. Can you just eat the whole pod? Can you? Everyone I know that's what I did. Everyone I know. I know, Mommy. Oh yeah. Are you all being wrong?

I've only seen and know to eat the pod and take the beans out and then you put the pot aside. You eat the pod too? I didn't know that. Huh, I've never done that and I've never seen that. Well, do you do you want to hear the saddest shit in the fucking world? Mm-hmm. I'm an adult man. I'm I'm closing in on 40. I have a baby, I take care of the baby myself sometimes. I am a professional, I think I'm pretty good at my job. And I look down to the chat and my wife is like,

honey, you like edamame. And I'm like, I guess I do, I don't know. My wife has to tell me. Did you just, that's like, I am't know. My wife has to tell me. Did you're just that's like I am a child. I am a I'm a fucking man child. But also it's up to she asked the wife shield. Yeah, okay. You're full circle. Congrats. You're you're now your dad. You're just like you just it comes all the way around. Um, yeah, I've never been too crazy on it, but anyway, that's fine.

Here, let's take one from... I'm glad there's an adult in this house The one having a nap right now Hello boomer Yund and Grixas Dredge don't got it recently magic the gathering has been putting out some crossover sets which range from the fitting Lord of the Rings or D&D and stuff from Arcane, Final Fantasy, Warhammer 40K, Street Fighter Swords Warriors. Some of them are so poorly fitting like Fallout Transformers are the walking dead and it got me wondering what do you think are a sign that what are signs that the creator has fully given up and are just taking money from anyone regardless of how well it fits with your property when you're sticking your crossover into something.

It's not about the it's it's not about the tone or the appropriateness. It's about the respectability of the thing it's being integrated in. So like to me, peak of combat actually kind of feels like shit. The Devil May Cry has this like wildly abusive fucking of the fucking micro, macro transaction fucking Tom Fulvery. Where's the cross? Where's the crossover? Where's the crossover? But between the phone and your money. That's not even remotely related to the question.

Did you just wanna talk about that more? No, I thought it worked. It's talking about the idea of like putting fucking Negan in Tekken, right? Or weird fits for things. To be showing up everywhere, for example. That's the, that's the way we're. All right.

All right. Well, look, I think my wife fans are for me. I think that the fact that like, hey, we're gonna cross over guilty gear with Sam's show, but it's gonna be Bikin. I think that's a great idea. That works. That fits great. Yeah, so that's a nice pick. But also, um, it's like, oh, the character that would fit.

It should have been a character that didn't fit at all. You can't be chaos. You can go insane with it. You can, you know, but I'm It should have been a character that didn't fit at all. You can have E.K.A.S. You can go insane with it. You can, you know, but I mean, they also did do the fucking warden from the, for honor, which is another wild thing. Oh, man, somebody that chat points out, if Ann Gellian and pub G was a big red flag. Oh, the weird looking realistic versions. I, yeah. Oh, do you see those spy family fucking

meat suits you can play in the street fighter? Yeah. Oh my god. There was a bunch. There was a couple of weird stranger things ones too. I forgot what game it was, but there was a trailer that was like, what the fuck game are you? And was like oh there just the license goes to whoever wants it Who cares here's fucking yeah a lukewarm and Helsing in modern warfare with the weird creepy gunplay shit super fucking off-putting Yeah, I Don't know I mean it I think we just grew to accept Negan eventually, but

dear God, that makes no sense. It makes no sense. It makes no fucking sense. Um, I think Witcher and Soul Calibur with the whole portals. Which, uh, uh, uh, uh, Geralt and Soul Calibur was the actual best one because like his own character, like has a setup for it, which is the character hates portals. I hate portals. Yeah. And so for monster hunter and soul caliber, he fell through a portal and was like, fuck, I hate that I'm in this crossover. And it worked really well. Similarly, I'd say like Ezio showing up in a soul caliber game is like, yeah, I can't. All right. Yeah, sure. Era timeline.

Why sure? But I guess like, and then there's just featuring Dante from the Dolomite Cry series. Well, there's that. I was gonna say, Ape Escape in Metal Gear, in Metal Gear and Monster Hunter.

And, you know what's great, man? I was sitting with Paige. I think we were on stream. Maybe we weren't. I can't remember. And I was just like Paige. You remember what big boss invented Doritos? She's just no shut up.

I'm like he did. He did. He did I remember Yeah, Darth Vader and Yoda were just the absolute dumbest possible. That's probably so like that's really bad because Yoda was also like up A poisonous influence on playable fucking short stupid Light sabers and force power. What do we do? Yeah, all right. Okay. Also, everyone loves near and to be so to be can do whatever she wants. Noob to be gets immunity. Yeah. I love to be. And says, hustler scam.

Dear Wollewonka and chalk pat factory, hustler scam meal ticket edition. My friend just started a new job at Redacted, where each employee is given one ticket a week for a free meal in the cafeteria. The rest of the week they have to pay for their food. Said friend recently found out that this meal ticket is a generic brand you can buy a roll of 500 online for a few bucks. So he ordered one and now they're eating for free every day. Dude, you're to get fucking fired Yeah, but until that day happens

Keep hustling nigga. Oh That's keep flowing. Oh man. That's a shit back. That is a hustle. You know this remind you of the through the door dash scam. Which one? There was a door that there was a way to do an order on door dash for a while. The people figured out that would charge you zero. And the food would show up and would charge you zero.

Oh, and people were like, fuck yeah, door dash for free. And they did that shit for like a year. And then door dash went into their fucking app and fixed the error. And then people's phones were blowing up with like $11,000. Oh, she's got hit with the fucking back charge. Wow.

Every single one of them got back. Wow. And they were all putting up TikToks going, I don't know what to do. I used the door to ask Tricking, now they want money. It's like, yeah. Because you fucking idiot. That's crazy.

If you are willing to get fired, if you are willing to put the job on the line, and you want to eat, then it is what it is. You know what you're asking. So my recommendation would be like, do that like once a week extra, maybe not every single day. Maybe not every single fucking day. I mean, to be honest, like, well,

anyway, I don't know what the work policy is and whether or not there's any discussions where work can provide you guys with deals more often. Sounds like a good thing that could happen. Sounds like something that would be ideal. But here's the thing, right? Here's what you should be doing.

You should be talking to your work colleagues. Oh, hey man, I work colleagues. Oh. Oh. Hey, man. I, okay, okay, like using my ticket this week. You want to. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Now. Now the game is evolved.

Now we're getting, now we're getting sophisticated. We have an operation going. Now we're getting dangerous. So you know why I think about this, Willie? Mm, mm, mm. There's a burger place in our neighborhood that mean page like to get once a week, right? Mm.

And here's what happens. I walk up to the burger place and I go, hey, can I get a to go order? And they go, no pickles, right? And I go, yeah. And they got it, Pat. Mm-hmm. And then I go do some, and they got it, Pat. Mm-hmm. And then I go do some groceries and come back

and I never give them my fucking order anymore. That's once a week, right? If your work cafeteria sees you walking in for five days a week with the ticket, someone there is gonna go, hey, that seems like bullshit. Mm-hmm. Now, at the same time, if you won, starts, if you start selling it to your fellow car workers

and they're paying you out of their money for it instead of to the foot, like, okay, we're evolving, we're evolving past hustle into scam territory, but you're also definitely going to increase the likelihood that someone with loose lips is gonna start talking. So to me, you're gonna, because it increases the possibility that one of them is gonna get in trouble. Absolutely, instead of you, which means to me,

you're decreasing your risk of getting caught, but you're increasing your risk of getting your ass kicked. I mean, like you're trading work consequences for physical consequences. And you know, or just being thrown under the bus, whatever the case is, because the moment you introduce more moving parts into the machine, there are more things that can break.
