slash S-B-F-C for your free audiobook download.
Uh, so, yeah. We've, uh, kind of put some money out there on getting this podcast up there.
Lots of money.
We had to get a website.
Yep, and guess what? You guys crashed it immediately with all your downloads.
I distinctly remember talking to you, Woolly. I said, is the website good to go?
Yeah, Pat. And then I make a post on Facebook, hey everyone, the website's good to go.
And then the first post back is shit's broken.
It was, it was kind of, it was ridiculous.
I think it's interesting that Woolly puts forward money and Woolly does this and all he gets out of it is that Woolly's a liar.
It's really a sham.
Why did you lie about the podcast thing?
So then I spent the next couple hours throwing more money at it to get better, faster servers.
You're underselling yourself. You stayed up all night.
I kind of didn't sleep.
And like came in dead.
Yeah, well, I think you're a stupid, lazy, idiot, but you did a pretty good job.
Well, thank you, sir.
That would have hit a lot harder if I could pronounce that fucking word.
Yeah, so, you need to have good lungs like Liam.
I got an unseem.
There you go.
Like Liam's abs.
So thankfully, uh, we had some really cool guys at Audible contact us and they were willing to sponsor the show.
So yeah, no, thanks Audible for the support.
Very appreciated.
And stuff.
Yeah.
And like it's, and the interesting thing is it's actually a site that I can totally recommend to you guys that you might be interested in checking out because you can get a free audio book when you head there and download it.
Again, the site's audiblepodcast.com slash sbfc.
Don't fuck that up.
Nope.
And like, yeah, no, they've got some really cool stuff because I'm a huge fan of what?
Opien Anthony.
You won't shut the fuck up.
Because there's such a good radio show.
It's one of the few places you can hear a ton of comedians and good guys sitting in the same room talking.
And that's, and that's bled over to me where I'm like, yo, do you see this clip?
And you're like, yes, Matt.
I saw that clip.
Exactly.
So like, they've got like archives of, you know, things like you can go listen to Opien Anthony interviewing Mick Foley up there.
They got Louis C.K.
Like they have Mick Foley interviews.
Mick Foley interviews are there.
Right?
You've got Jim Norton stuff as well.
He's got his own book, Happy Endings.
Like, I'm the hugest fan of all these standup comics and you can actually go check out some of the stuff if you haven't heard it already.
And you've met these comics in real life and they insulted you.
They told you that you smelled.
No, it wasn't, no.
I got called shitlocks.
It's a big difference.
Big difference.
Big difference, right?
Yeah.
And even stuff for little Matt over here.
They got the girl with the dragon tattoo.
Please, please listen or read or do something and just look at, just listen to or read any of the girls with the dragon tattoo.
Read the audiobook?
Matt just thinks of Liz Sallander and just starts sweating.
I just started sweating.
Is this the Norwegian Liz Sallander or the American Liz Sallander?
The Liz Sallander from the book.
The fictional character?
Yes.
From the audiobook.
Talking about the movie, man.
Yeah, I'm talking about not the movies.
So big thanks to those guys.
Well, this is all worth it.
This is all so creepy.
Whatever.
There's fucking snakes loose in your apartment.
There's so many snakes.
What is going on?
Guys, I can't let you up.
My snake is loose.
How can my pet snake be this cute?
I don't know.
We're gonna be fucking talking and like Liam's gonna get swallowed whole.
No, I was cleaning my snake tank and as you are supposed to do and I'm like put the snake
away in a little like other little enclosure.
It's supposed to keep them in.
Yeah.
I look every, I don't know, three minutes.
Okay, you're good.
You're good.
You're good.
I'm finally done.
I'm like, there you go.
And I'm like, hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Where the fuck did the snake go?
How do you find the snake?
What are you?
It doesn't make noise.
And I just look all over.
What are you supposed to do?
And I go, Jack?
So what you're saying is that your pet snake, Jack, tricked Johnny to let him out of his
cell.
I guess so.
But yeah, then I find him behind a bookcase and I'm like, there's nothing there.
There's no food.
There's nothing.
Just get back in there.
Snake, why would you be behind a bookcase?
Why would you do this?
The rats are in their cage.
Snake, why would you be hiding in stealth?
I'm in caution right now.
Snake.
Snake.
You're doing the search under every bookcase.
You're pointing your shotgun in there.
And I'm like, what was that noise?
What noise?
My snake have started to move.
Perfect.
All right.
I don't think we need to spend any more time on that.
Welcome to Super Best Friendcast, episode three, everybody.
Hey, everybody.
Hi.
How are you doing?
Get in there.
Wally, who are you?
I am a black person.
I realized we didn't do that last week.
We just, nobody knows who the fuck we are.
Figure it out.
Whatever.
Whatever.
I'm the guy on the bottom left of the picture.
I guess.
No.
I just, what's your name, you stupid?
Oh, yeah.
I'm Wally.
I'm Wally.
Good for you.
Who the fuck are you?
I'm Pat.
Oh, thank you.
You didn't say that.
Hello, everybody.
You just said hello.
I'm Matt.
I'm Liam.
Who are you?
You guys melded together.
I'm William.
I said it a second ago.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't hear you.
No.
We talked about this.
Let me sit up straight.
There you go.
Now we can see.
Yeah.
I'll project.
Now you can see the difference between us.
Yo, I'm going to let everyone in on a secret.
Wally is not a nickname.
That's not a secret.
Well, for a lot of people.
Are you going to let people know the real secret?
No.
As to what?
You shut the fuck up.
You shut up.
Okay.
Close them holes.
Okay.
Okay.
You move right the fuck around.
It doesn't matter what your name is because people will still call you Wally.
Wally.
Wally.
Wally.
Wally or whatever.
When I go to like whatever like restaurants and have to go to go, who are you?
I just go, Will.
Just keep it simple.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
That's it.
And then that explains why they can't find a table for you.
No.
You know, there's a lot of relationships.
There's a lot of relationships.
There's a lot of relationships.
Hey man, what are we talking about today?
Today we're talking about a bunch of different things.
We're going to find out how everyone's doing.
We're going to follow up on the Gamescom announcements.
The Gamescom.
The Gamescom cologne.
Hey.
We're going to check out.
It's a place.
Yes.
We're going to check out what's going on with some of the, you know, the news and the
cool games and all that general stuff.
Like cool games?
We're going to cover some of that FGC news.
See what's hyping happening.
There's more?
Oh, there's so much.
How can there be more?
Such a crazy scene.
There's always something going on.
There's some crazy stuff going on with movies.
I'm sure it's good news.
We're going to be talking a little bit about that.
We're going to jump into the matte watch.
Who was Matt stalking this week?
Find out towards the end of the show.
No, it wasn't his snake.
It was not my snake.
My snake was not stalking me.
Like months from now, I'm going to walk into your room and just see like a cork board
with like photos and strings attached to them.
Damn.
With little pins.
You don't, you haven't looked inside.
I'm pressing on my pen.
You haven't looked inside.
It's so intricate.
There's one right there right now.
And then we're going to answer some of your fucking questions.
Are the questions-
Wow.
Why is that so interesting?
No, because-
You hate your questions.
Because I've read so many of them and there's some pretty good ones.
Good on you for reading them.
I can't do it.
That's the thing.
Like, I'm like wakeboarding over these questions.
And like, there's some pretty cool ones, but man, a whole bunch of them are not that-
There's a sea mine.
Ignore that one.
That one.
And a lot of, well, here, I'm just going to get it out there.
Get it out there.
We'll answer one right now.
Oh, let's start it off here then.
Hey, guys, when are you going to be on iTunes?
Two weeks ago.
We're already on iTunes, guys.
We're on iTunes.
Go check it out.
Go search Super Best Friendcasts.
There's no time to search.
You just complain.
I never understood the ideology of, man, why aren't you guys on iTunes?
Like, how do you know that?
You didn't look.
And you don't have an Apple device, which some of you guys have.
I have an Android device.
You can check out Stitcher.
We're on the Stitcher channel as well.
That's Switcher on the Stitcher?
No, it's not.
Don't confuse anybody.
I'm sorry.
The Stitcher application is available.
We're on that.
If you have a Zoom, we are on the Zoom.
For that guy.
Hey, Tommy.
Hey, Tommy.
We are on it.
Whatever it may be.
We don't know what it is, but we're on there.
It's brown.
And it hosts us and Fighterpedia.
That's what killed the Zoom giant.
I was at an electronic store with my old girl from like three years ago, and she went in
and she's like, Cal, what's a Zoom?
And he goes, don't.
Just don't.
I've never, even if it's something that's not great, a guy wants to sell it to you.
If I had been working there, in an electronic store of that type, I would have done exactly
the same thing.
I said, get this iPod, this Creative Zen, or get this iPod, or this Creative Zen.
Yeah, I had a Creative Zen.
So you get that guy's name and every time you go back there, you look for him.
You find him.
That's a good sales rep right there.
That dude's an unsung hero.
And finally, we're going to see what's happening on the fucking channel.
We have a channel?
Yep.
Where is that channel?
How do you get there?
It's on YouTube.
It's called The Switcher with a 1 instead of an i.
Or you can just put Two Best Friends.
You can search for Two Best Friends.
It's the second choice.
You should more accurately search for Two Best Friends Play.
Yes.
So that you don't just get a hundred videos of cows and pigs hugging in a farm.
Unless that's what you do.
While adorable.
By all means.
It's there.
You should also go watch those.
And we're on YouTube.
Sorry.
One more on YouTube.
That's what I was talking about.
And we're on Facebook.
So come find us on Facebook on the Two Best Friends Play page.
You can message us there and tell me how stupid I am.
Hell, you can even subscribe to our RSS.
We're everywhere now.
We're finally legit.
And we have so many places.
We're going to link them all to you guys.
Worldwide.
What is that?
Worldwide.
Technically, you're always worldwide now if we're on the internet.
Yeah.
Except for China.
Yeah.
China.
What's it got?
Like a hundred guys?
It's got dogs as lion.
What's it got?
What's it got?
What's it got?
Like 200 people?
It's got cool lion dogs.
Yeah.
You mean beacons?
When your lions are gone for a while, it's got replacement sub-lions that are just dogs
with big fur.
Hey, by the way, in case you haven't watched the earlier episode, listen.
Man, batch of media.
This is about video games and movies and anime and stuff.
It's not about Chinese lion dogs.
Liam, what have you been up to?
Do you know what?
Willy is now going to decide to call this episode Chinese lion dog.
Actually, no.
I've already decided on it.
Oh, he's already decided on it.
It's already been stated.
You'll get there.
I've been watching it.
No, I went back to playing Dragon's Crown.
Yeah, you did.
Dragon's Crown.
Yeah, you did.
It's great.
You're playing the elf?
Yes, I'm playing the elf.
Yeah, you are.
Still playing the elf.
Still haven't finished it.
I watched the first episode of Ruby, which I got asked about last week and I wasn't able
to answer.
Is that how it's pronounced?
It's pronounced Ruby, R-W-B-Y.
That's Monty Oom's new show.
Not Ruby?
No, it's Ruby.
Okay.
Monty Oom is the director and the animator, of course.
Yeah, so we chatted about this a little bit before.
People wanted to know what it was, but none of us knew what it was.
You now checked it out.
So I watched the first episode.
It was 14 minutes long.
The action, which Monty Oom is known for, that's his shtick, really, was great.
It was great, just like all of his other stuff.
Fantastic.
I am shocked.
You should be shocked.
That Monty Oom could animate a good action scene.
But honestly, the characters were really shallow and the writing...
How trophy are we talking?
Oh, really trophy.
On a scale of 1 to 10.
Probably a 9.
It was really trophy as far as let's emulate anime.
Like this isn't a parody, but you could change three lines of dialogue and it would become
a parody.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Were there cicadas in the background?
No cicadas.
No cicadas.
I'm sorry, they probably didn't have the budget.
No, and the other thing is like...
That's the worst cicadas impression I've ever heard.
Unfortunately, it's the best one.
Because now I can see in my head is like Shinji being depressed and you're just in the bushes
making that noise.
So like...
That'd be a great scene if a guy is creeping on a girl and he's hiding in a bush.
She's like, oh, I can't let her know I'm here.
And then she's like, oh, it's just cicadas.
Oh, it's those giant horrifying bugs.
Summertime in Japan.
The only other thing about it is like it's weird because it's like a faux anime.
So it's targeted at an age group slightly above the quality of the writing.
The writing feels like it's like a YTV or like teletune like kids show.
I mean like cartoon.
Well, actual anime.
Like it feels like that quality of writing, but it's trying to target like an anime audience.
I mean like us?
Like adults?
No, not like you.
Like me.
How much did you make it through?
I watched the whole thing.
Fourteen minutes.
That's a 14 minute episode.
I don't know that I'll go back.
Sounds like a band-aid.
Sorry.
Better to just...
Right off.
It's like a band-aid.
It's gone.
The action was cool though.
By all means, like if you're watching it for the action, you'll enjoy that.
All three minutes of the action.
And the 14 minute thing.
Yeah, right.
Well, there you go.
There you go.
Ruby.
That's it.
Six.
What's going on, Matt?
I have a 20.
What's going on is like, I guess, just got to finish that WrestleMania.
It's all about the WrestleMania for a couple of days.
The way you looked for a second, you were just like, well, I got to sculpt my beard.
Yeah, I know.
I got exhausted.
I have seven mirrors all in conjunction.
But no, we were desperately trying to make the rest of WrestleMania.
And of course, what I've been working on today is like, there's going to be a best of compilation
of everything for WrestleMania.
So just the dumbest, most relaffed, the hardest things.
And that's what I've been working on today.
And whatever.
I've just been playing dive kick.
Yeah.
That's really it.
And wait, something great comes out tomorrow.
What is it?
A game.
Project Eva F.
What?
No, a game.
Castlevania Lords of Shadow on PC.
No.
A game people care about.
Wally, we're leaving this.
Killer is dead.
Killer is dead.
Killer said it comes out tomorrow.
Yes.
Wow, I'm an idiot.
I was following the Japanese release and it's a disappointment.
Yeah.
Well, are you going to play it?
Please support the English release.
Everyone, please support.
No, no.
Please support the English release.
Yes.
Please look forward to it.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, we're going to be maybe doing something with that.
Please get excited.
Please, by all means, get excited for Killer's Day.
I didn't know to get excited.
Project Eva F.
Yes, today.
But I am not excited now.
And really finally, not to just plug myself, but tomorrow is my birthday.
So I've been...
You mean today's your birthday?
Today is my birthday.
And then we're having a big dumb movie thing the next day.
We'll tell you all about the big dumb movie thing.
Maybe we can actually record something with it.
Like record the party atmosphere.
Perhaps.
It's the people in the room.
Everyone agrees.
If it's not too crazy.
I think that's a terrible idea.
Let's do it.
That's probably a terrible idea.
Let's do it.
So organizing all of that stuff.
It will end in death.
Just like all of Matt's parties.
Oh, yeah.
It's not a Dothraki wedding until it's at least...
Three deaths.
Yeah.
It's considered a dull affair.
Yeah.
Whose ear is this?
Anyone leaving ear?
It's over near the horse.
What are you doing, Pat?
Okay.
So this is a bit of a side.
But this is going to be a more broad look at why you both should and should not get a gaming PC.
Okay.
So Saints Row 4 came out last week.
I get all the hype for Saints Row 4.
I go to play it.
I'm playing it.
Everything's great.
I'm having lots of fun.
Except there's like a really weird slight line in between one of the hair models and all the scalp.
So you threw out your PC.
So I'm like, man, my drivers must be bad because I'm using the Catalyst 13.6 AMD drivers for my video card.
It's like, oh, I'll get the newest beta drivers.
But then I do that and then YouTube starts breaking.
So how do I roll it back?
I can't roll it back to the non-beta drivers.
I can only roll it back to the earlier beta drivers, which I'm worried about.
So now I have the new beta drivers, the 13.8, and I'm worried about video playback.
And so I'm freaking out and I do a system restore.
And then the fucking Sony Content Manager assistant for the Vita breaks.
And I lose some of the saves I put up on there.
So I've been playing dive kick instead.
That's a good ending.
Bye, gaming PC.
So I've just been playing dive kick all week.
I've been playing it on Vita.
I've been playing it on PC.
I've been playing it on PS3.
At the very least, you broke your computer.
You are your video card doing experimental drivers for Saints Row.
That happened to me for fucking Enter the Matrix.
Well, they're fine now.
The 13.8s fix themselves or some shit.
How do we know that Keats just didn't do this to mess up people's PC?
Right?
Because they'd be forced to then just settle with dive kick.
So I got two things to say about dive kick other than dive kick is everything that I said it was.
And it's more.
It's the best.
What?
What?
Matt's finicky with little things.
Don't touch the cables.
Not this cable.
Don't touch the cables.
Recording audio.
You can't touch the cables.
Just a sneaky finicker.
It says nothing to do with it.
But sure.
Go on.
Don't fucking totally forget.
Okay, one, dive kick doesn't support Windows XP.
Okay.
Which is a fucking shit problem for me telling everyone to get it and then several friends
of mine buying it on PC and not having Windows Vista or 7.
Who are they?
Dan has Windows XP.
Nah, he's going to get a Vita instead.
That's why I bought him a Vita over Amazon and he's going to pay me back.
See, it's a trick by Keats to get people to buy Vitas.
And the second thing is that I think dive kick has shown me for the first time in a long
time how shitty of a loser I am.
Because I was playing dive kick with Dork Girl over the internet and every time she picks
Kenny, she beats me.
And she doesn't play fighting games.
And I'm fucking pissed off just talking about it right now.
I'm so salt.
I'm so fucking salt over dive kick.
But dive kick has a special property that some fighters don't have, which is every time
you lose, you know, you know exactly why you lost.
I did not jump back when I should have jumped back.
Because there's not much to think about.
And the worst part is that you always saw it coming and you just didn't react fast enough
or you didn't think smart enough.
You feel the exact same way you feel when you fuck up in Trials HD.
Yes.
Except there's no reset button.
You just lose.
But that responsibility, you hold that L on your chest.
You feel it.
And on the other side, Willie played Dork Girl in Rival Schools.
And she beasted on a little bit, went back and forth.
And then she knew moves and grow.
And did you know anything about grow?
Not really.
I'm like, how do you know how to grow?
But then afterwards, I continued to destroy her.
Yeah.
No, no, no, no.
Don't just destroy her.
The important thing is that Willie was able to establish dominance early.
Right, right, right.
Don't mince words here.
So I think Dork Girl is secretly like a champion at every tournament ever.
She's secretly spooky.
No one tells anyone.
She's secretly spooky.
It was me all along.
She's sponsored by Madcats.
I'm going nuts.
Oh, man.
Willie, what are you doing?
Yeah, man.
What am I doing?
We never usually ask that question.
Yeah, I know, right?
Because usually we don't care.
I know.
It's really a...
Oh, oh.
Just before we move on.
Well...
I had one more thing.
I tried to play FF14 and shit's broken, so I can't.
That's because of the overwhelming popularity, which we'll get into a bit later.
I've been mourning my dead PS3.
This happened last night.
The thing that I just got.
To be fair, like, you know, I bought it used, so I kind of have...
Let's be super clear.
You bought a used, original, launched PS3 because you wanted the backwards compatibility
for PS2 games.
Yes.
I thought it would be useful for us to have that.
And I said, why'd you do that?
And you were like, no, it's fine.
And then like a few hours later, it died.
But it was also a used, launched, repaired PS3.
Oh, which is...
Oh, I didn't know that.
Which is what comes out.
Which is what comes out.
Wow, you're stupid.
You're just that turnaround.
No, but that's the secret reveal, right?
Oh, man.
That's the thing that we're from.
Anyway, so...
It was kind of butthurt, but at the very least, we're talking to the guys now to figure out
what's going on.
But I was so like, ugh, I was in that mood where I'm like, I brought this thing to match
place.
It's not fucking working.
Fuck it.
I am not going home without working PS3.
I'm going to walk down to the drugstore.
Yeah.
And they didn't have one.
And I went to just this all night game shop and I just got one.
It's the only console they don't have.
It's weird.
Yeah, it is.
And I was just like, fuck it.
No, I don't care.
So I had it and then I found out also when your PS3 dies, you lose all your saves.
There's no real way to save it.
Well, if you had PlayStation Plus, you wouldn't have lost this.
Exactly.
But unfortunately, I can't sign up for PlayStation...
Not like me or Liam or Matt here.
But I can't sign up for PlayStation Plus because it wouldn't take my credit card.
It doesn't take my credit card either.
So there's a backwards route with that.
So let's just say something here.
Has anyone got their fucking credit card to work with PSN?
No.
You got yours.
Absolutely.
What kind of Bobo Dinks credit card have you got?
MasterCard.
I have a fucking MasterCard.
My works.
I have a fucking BM...
I have a Visa accepted everywhere as the...
Except for PSN.
That's a tagline.
Yeah, except fucking PSN.
My Visa works fine.
You guys are assholes.
Well, anyway...
Get a better credit card.
I have a good credit card.
It lets you do dumb things with money.
Apparently not everything.
Right.
So that means all kinds of backwards stuff.
And so what I'm finding out is also...
Because I've had 360s that have died of it.
How many 360s have we gone through total in this room?
Three.
You three...
Four for me.
Nice.
Me, me, one.
I busted one at work.
That's bullshit.
Another day.
That's bullshit.
Wait, does that count for testing?
Then like five.
Sure it counts.
Like five.
Then my personal one, I have to replace one.
And fun fact is my Xbox number two that broke
was one of the ones that...
An elite?
It was an elite which we threw to the ground
that I did an Alex stomp on for an episode of
FighterPedia in Ballad of the Body Explosion.
Yeah, you guys are like,
God, man, these FighterPedia guys must be rich
to just destroy an Xbox.
Elites no less.
Yeah.
So, but anyway, when those broke,
I would just take the same hard drive
and just jump it from one to the next
and I'd be fine.
And then do a license transfer crap.
Can't do that with your PS3.
And I know there's ways if you stick it in a chassis
or a mount on your PC to do that kind of thing.
No, it's not great.
But in general, it formats from one console to the other.
So that's not great.
Beyond dealing with the woes.
But hey, you only had it for two weeks, right?
How many save files could be on there?
My dive kick save files.
Yeah, you know what?
Fucking get a bag.
I know, exactly.
But no, re-unlock all the dive kick.
Thankfully nothing drastic except for Dragon's Crown,
which...
Pick a different character.
And I should have been uploading to the internet.
I can say it has.
Dragon's Crown has quite a few.
But I had no reason to.
You have a Vita and a PS3.
You gotta be more paranoid.
You gotta be more paranoid.
You gotta be more paranoid.
I expected the damn thing to work.
No, expect everything to die.
You can only get through life being paranoid.
That's the only way.
Well, now I know better.
The DTA.
Sure.
But, and the other flip side was I was kind of checking out,
hey, how's the show been doing?
And we've been doing actually pretty good.
No.
Thank you guys.
What?
We've been actually...
What do you mean?
Well, apparently at least when the episode 2 came out on iTunes
in the station...
That we are on.
Yeah.
Also, by the way.
We were number 15.
Wow.
For that day.
That was pretty cool.
That shocked me.
I was like, wow, this is like...
I didn't know podcasting was this bad.
I didn't know it was...
I didn't know it was like the...
How is this garbage?
I didn't know that I had saved up enough cool points in my life
to cash them in on podcast success.
We rolled out of bed and landed at number 15.
Well, you did.
I had to do a little bit and buy a little bit of, you know,
a whole lot of work afterwards.
You had to do a whole lot of work.
Us three rolled out of bed and landed at number 15.
Yeah.
So honestly, you know, thanks you guys.
Yes.
Thank you very much for all your support.
Yeah.
Really.
Tell your friends.
And, you know, go to the iTunes page and rank us and rate us
because that actually matters.
That stuff.
Yeah.
When we saw that people liked us,
we got all agoo and blushing and stuff.
Yeah.
We were all like pointing our fingers at each other.
Our podcast reviews can't possibly be this cute.
Why is this a joke?
You guys use way more than I do.
Because you watch that show, you freak.
Alright, you know, it's now a staple.
That's a part of the thing for the show now.
Too bad.
How can this podcast be this cute?
Guys, games have been happening.
Tell me about games.
There have been,
I want to know.
Well, there have been a number of things going on,
I think we should check in and see how our gamescom predictions did.
I was wrong.
We didn't even, did we even make it?
We did.
We made two.
Liam's was correct.
Mine was, I made two.
Which in particular?
I said that PS4 would be launching on October 21st.
Okay.
Super wrong.
It's still going to be way earlier than I thought.
It's going to be on the 15th.
Yeah.
And I also said that there's no way in hell that Microsoft will announce a SKU
without the Kinect.
That was, like, that barely counts.
Cause it's like a, they won't not do this.
Same with Vita price drop, like that barely counts.
Yeah, no, everyone knew that Vita price drop was coming.
We didn't, we did half a prediction.
I was right to discount that totally bogus rumor about the new Vita.
Yeah, oh, totally.
Which sounded fake as shit.
Yeah.
We didn't make a lot of predictions.
No, we didn't.
And I, and I mean,
Yeah.
We cut ourselves off.
Honestly, what we ended up getting on the Microsoft side was,
Nothing.
Well, not to cut you off.
What were you going to say?
I'm sorry.
Well, yeah.
I'm sorry.
It was gone.
Fable legends revealed.
Microsoft, okay.
Cause that was at 5 a.m.
Right.
So I woke up and I pulled up my phone and I'm like,
Yes, I want to see these new IPs that Microsoft.
And there was nothing.
There was.
It's kind of weird.
It's kind of weird.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Fighter within.
Aren't you super hyped?
Oh my God.
So here's, so we all heard, we heard about it.
So we all had the same reaction separately.
Yes.
Where, where then the yoga topic went up along with a bunch of videos of people playing
Fighter within showing off the new connects, amazing new input lag.
Yeah.
Which seems to have improved none at all.
Want to see what the bottom of an avatar shoes look like.
Bam.
You have a video of this guy demoing his fighting game.
And there's these two ladies.
Sorry.
Are you still fighting game?
Well, Fighter within whatever.
Flail simulator.
Whatever.
And they're doing back steps and whatnot.
And you can see it takes like a full second for the connector register.
And you're just like, God damn.
The working title was actually quap for connect.
Yes.
Oh.
Quap connect.
What we should do is get a copy of Fighters Uncaged, the other Ubisoft full motion body
fighting game for the regular connect.
And see if there's any difference.
And then do a side by side with the Xbox one.
Nice.
I bet the new ones 30 milliseconds faster.
And you'll be able to tell.
The problem of Fight Fighters, what is it?
Fighters within.
Fighters within.
Fighters within.
And it's actual screenshots.
Like these are not bad character designs.
Yeah.
I would love to play this if it was an actual fucking fighting game.
So when we do that video and we stack them up by side, the end score result is, I'm going
to kill myself.
The only way you get around with that is you just dance it, which is the scenario in which
the game plays itself.
I forgot where.
I saw a video of dudes just putting the Just Dance control, the Wim out on the floor and
getting perfect scores.
That's literally what Fighter within is.
It's like, hey, people love dancing.
People also love, like, hey, look at me.
I'm fighting a friend.
They're like pretend fighting.
They're like pretend fights.
But hey, guys, red and blue DualShock 4s.
They look like shit, man.
They look garbage.
The problem with that is that the PS4 controller looks like shit.
But it feels better than it looks.
Oh, no.
It feels really good.
It feels really, really good.
How was it?
You guys went.
I know.
It's my favorite controller.
It's pretty damn good.
It's like 1% better than the 360 pad, which is already pretty much perfect.
Right.
So the 360 pad, which is pretty much perfect?
Yeah.
You don't mean Xbox One pad?
No, I mean 360.
The Xbox One pad.
I thought you were talking about the D-pad.
No.
Talk about the whole controller.
The whole controller.
Yeah.
Make that distinction.
No.
Make that distinction.
I'll make the distinction of the 360 pad with the transforming D-pad.
OK.
That thing is amazing.
And I'd say the PS4 one is like 1% better.
It's negligible.
Right.
That's purely a preference thing.
But the Xbox One controller felt like a lot bulkier.
It felt more like an original Xbox controller.
Not the Duke.
Yeah.
And like rumbling triggered fucking gas.
Was that cool?
Did that feel?
I don't care about rumbling.
Did that make you feel good?
I don't care about rumbling.
What hasn't been announced is that there's a secret panel in the back that reveals the
return of the white and black buttons.
Like it slides down.
There's always gas.
I was thinking about the Xbox One controller this weekend.
And it caused me to go onto Amazon and buy a new 360 pad with the transforming D-pad.
So that when I wear this one out, I'll have the next one to play PC games with.
Because I don't want to use the Xbox One.
You're like those Smash Brothers players that just does a tournament, throws out their
GameCube controller, and buys a new waver.
You would probably like it because it's a slightly bigger controller.
But I have small hands, so I fucking hate it.
But there is something else about it.
The triggers also didn't feel great.
It just feels great.
The 360 pad is almost perfect.
And this one went too far.
I will say this.
At the beginning of every console, it takes a while to get used to it.
Right.
But not the PS4 one.
Unless it's the PS4 one.
I don't like DualShock 3 at all.
I think it feels cheap.
But when I feel the PS4 one, I was like this feels awesome.
As much as you guys wipe your ass with the Dream Gas controller, I got used to it.
It's hard to wipe your ass, are they considering how huge it is?
I totally got used to it.
And when I played hours of Third Strike on that thing, it became second nature.
I can't believe you fucking played Third Strike on a fucking GameCube controller.
It was the only way.
You would make an arcade stick.
Now speaking of the colors though, we were actually talking about this earlier.
We see the reveal of the white X-Bone, right?
Yeah.
Especially to employees of Microsoft.
And actually to what it says, you made this.
I made this.
I made this.
Exclusive to retailers and eBay.
So we totally, I get this weird thing in my head that bothers me where I see it and
I go fuck, that looks really nice.
And then I go wait, why?
Why do I like this?
Why do I like this?
And what if this was the irregular and the black one is special?
You know what?
You know what?
Think about how the DS Lite was.
That's exactly what we brought up.
The DS Lite was where it came out and it was white and it looked really good.
And then the black one came out and you're like fuck, that's the one I want.
And I just ordered decals for my Vita.
Yeah.
Because the black Vita's nice but I want a white Vita and I'm buying stickers off the internet.
And the white PSP.
And you look at the Wii even and I'm like the white one's nice but fuck, there's a new black one coming.
Do you remember?
The Wii was originally black.
Yes.
And everyone wanted a white one.
And everyone said I want a white one.
With the green and the pink and the blue.
And then they made it white and then no one would shut the fuck up about how they wanted the black one.
So here's what it is.
Whatever other people have.
No.
If you can't have it, you want it.
You want it so hard.
The grass is greener.
The grass is whiter on the other side.
It's always the same no matter what the default color console is.
You want the opposite on the color wheel from back.
Another friend of ours was like hey are you interested in getting a Vita?
And at that time I had no interest at all.
And I was like why?
And he's like I'm getting another one.
Which one are you getting?
I'm getting the white Assassin's Creed.
And he goes I hate Assassin's Creed.
I don't want it though.
So I just want the white Vita.
Absolutely.
It's like that horrible point where I didn't want a purple Gamecube.
And I didn't want the black Gamecube.
I wanted the silver Gamecube.
Oh good.
I thought you wanted the spice one.
No.
It's like because black had been out.
Because it was the most popular color afterwards.
No I don't want that regular Gamecube.
I want the cool silver one.
It's the white tux.
It's the same feeling of looking at the white tux.
No I'm just taking the example of it feels special and rarer.
And I caught myself with that feeling looking at the white X-bone.
And I got fucking pissed at myself.
I think the worst it ever got was when I had the silver PSP2000.
And I broke it.
And I went out of my way to buy white PSP parts to replace it.
So that it was half silver on the back.
And half white on the front.
And then there'd be no one else with the PSP2000 look like this.
And it was all busted and ghetto in the back.
Because I had the huge battery.
And it looked like shit.
It objectively looked like shit.
But in my head I'm the only one with this.
This is my garbage.
Me and Billy from Fighter Beauty.
Oh yeah, Fighter Beauty Billy.
He had a black DS light.
I had a white one.
And we swapped the tops and bottoms.
Yeah, absolutely.
Life swapped.
Sure.
So we had our little Icariga.
Oh, the dust sleeves.
Yeah.
Everyone did that.
No, but not just that.
No, the whole like right inside.
The shell.
Yeah, so the shell.
Outside was one.
You opened it up and it got a different color.
And then it hit full tilt on insanity when the X-bone was broken.
Insanity when the X-cells came out.
The 3DSX-cells.
Yeah.
And everyone was bitching about you could only get red and black and or blue and black.
Which is outrageous because at the very end of the Nintendo DS light life cycle.
I specifically sold my black one to get a red and black 3DS light DS light.
Greatest handheld ever is the panda.
The panda?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Either of you?
The panda?
The DS light.
What was the other version of the DS light that had the cameras?
DSi?
DSi.
Yeah.
They're testing ones called the pandas.
Oh, the panda has the test box.
The panda has the test box.
The back one was black.
Yeah, I remember that dude.
And I said, oh, that.
Yeah, I said to my boss, can I please have one?
Okay, whatever.
And he's like, no, you can't, Matt Jr.
No, you can't, Matt Jr.
And I was like, but the panda.
I love how Matt Jr. continually escalates in age.
Yeah, I know.
Like, we'll just be calling you that.
Matt Jr. is now 25.
This is like five years ago as Matt Jr.
I want my panda.
He still wore that hat with the propeller on top.
Yeah, I did.
Oh, yeah.
So did you know that the wonderful 101 originally was supposed to be a Nintendo crossover?
Yes, I did.
And I don't know, I like how it is now.
I love how it is now.
So I can't really imagine it that way.
It could have been, it had the same path of smash.
And then just ducked out right at the end.
So what was the opposite path of smash?
That's right.
Smash actually went for it.
That's right.
Yeah, no, what had happened was...
Had the same path as Watchmen.
Basically, Platinum pitched a concept for a game where you were controlling a crowd of
Nintendo IPs altogether.
All of them.
And they would do like Unite Morphs and all that stuff.
But they would all be...
So Sword was the master sword.
And Fist was like Mario's Big Blood or something.
And Bomb was Bomberman.
And you guys know Bomberman?
No, the first of Burning Fist would be Cow-Fucking-Captain Falcon.
That's right, that's right.
I bet there was some jumpy Mario moves.
Yo, that is sick.
Like a Captain Rainbow action game with a bunch of B-Listers.
Shut up, Captain Rainbow.
No, no, but like it was Captain...
Yo, a Captain Falcon character action racing game by Platinum.
Whoa!
So the fact that this didn't go through...
And the fact that Kamiya won't shut the fuck up about Star Fox...
Makes me think that there's going to be a level in this game...
That is all the way Star Fox, except it's not Star Fox.
Yeah.
A massive homage.
Absolutely.
Look, it's Space Crab.
And he's flying his L-Wing.
I found that news kind of like, oh, un-gaffed.
I didn't check any other places about that news.
But what's really kind of disappointing is that people are like,
It should have been like that.
That it would have sold.
And it's like, okay, this is the ultimate.
Damned if you...
Oh, new IPs, Nintendo!
Where are they?
Here's a new IP.
Fuck that!
It could have been everyone in.
It could have been Donkey Kong.
It could have been Captain Falcon.
The problem is that new IPs are great,
but everyone, like, crossovers are rarer than new IPs.
And apparently when they showed it to Nintendo,
Nintendo actually screamed, this is impossible.
Because it's like, they had to work so hard
just to feel okay about Smash Brothers happening.
And they warmed up to it to the point where they were like,
And Sakurai fetishizes how awesome every character in Smash is.
It's so good.
Nobody gets the short end of the stick.
And this, it's like, Link is one out of a hundred guys in a pool.
And what if you throw Pokemon in the mix?
Fuck!
You could have an all-Pokemon team.
Yeah, you know you could have an all-Pokemon team.
You could just play Pokemon Rumble and hate yourself.
I'm hating myself right now, just thinking about that.
I am glad that it became what it is right now.
The only thing better that I could have possibly imagined is the thing I always bring up.
This game should have been called Beautiful World.
And you're never gonna get it.
I know.
I know.
No, it is.
It is what it is.
It's just not called that.
But it should have been all those same characters, except Beautiful Joe is the captain.
And Red is the sidekick.
And it's the same thing.
See, for some reason, I don't even really agree with that.
Like, I just played through Beautiful Joe.
And I don't really feel like that would work.
I prefer these new guys to Beautiful Joe.
Me too.
But he's the original...
You know what?
Yeah, but Wonder Red is so much more classic.
He is.
Beautiful Joe should have been just an unlockable character.
Absolutely.
Or the hidden boss.
Yeah.
Or a young Captain Blue.
It would have been such an awesome direction for the franchise to go.
It would have been.
Better than Red Hot Rumble.
If Capcom had not gotten rid of all those guys.
No, it would have been interesting, but I think I prefer the way it went.
No matter what, we're getting hype shit.
It's fine.
In summary, if you're not buying the wonderful 101, buy the wonderful 101.
Do it.
Well, you're buying the wonderful 101.
I'm gonna buy it.
I am also going to buy it.
I am also buying it.
I am buying it.
I bought a T-shirt.
If someone, one of you guys, calls me up and tell me.
Tell me Pat.
My idea now.
What?
You can't take it.
What idea?
Oh, I said, you know that wonderful one-inch or one-shirt Kimia has?
I bought it.
Oh, so nice.
It's none of you can get it.
That's our T-shirt rule.
We all compete to get T-shirts.
I can't get that sandwich shirt that Willie's wearing.
No, too bad.
It was really awkward because Matt was wearing this sick Gypsy Danger T-shirt the other day
that he got off T-Fury.
Yeah.
And I had gotten it too, so...
And then you guys had to fight to the death, right?
We're gonna fight to the death.
I got a Gypsy Danger shirt too.
I got a Blanche Ron panties man.
Yeah.
We're gonna live it up.
Yeah.
See, I got a Gypsy shirt too, but it's different.
It's different.
So, you know, it's fine.
Same for our turnip shirts.
We have turnip shirts.
Yeah, Matt bought me this sick turnip.
I should all fight to the death, man.
Matt, what are your shirts like?
They're in the mail.
Yeah.
Where they should be.
Oh, I also got one of the villager poking his head through a jagged hole.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Like a shining.
So, he's looking through my chest and he's like, good.
The villager's so fucking creepy.
He's amazing.
And I'm glad that Sakurai has turned into how creepy the Animal Crossing villager is.
I understand.
Are you guys gonna wear, like, your own shirts or rather the opposite shirts of each other
when you get that in...
No, I'm gonna wear all the shirts.
I didn't order panties.
They're not simultaneously.
Oh.
What a dick.
I'll wear the poster.
Speaking of things that, like, could have been other things.
Apparently Rare, modern day today Rare says they're kicking around some ideas for their
classic properties.
You know what?
They're thinking about some things.
You know what?
Some connect things.
I believe them and I would have believed them every time they have said this over the fucking
million years that they've been saying this.
However, that does not change the reality that none of that shit's ever gonna happen.
And even if it did, it's not the same people to whose to say it would be anywhere near
as good.
We've read how, like, former guy that used to work at Rare said there was about 60 awesome,
like, full-blown, ready-to-go ideas we had for Microsoft.
They shot down every single one and said no connect.
Yeah.
And so, it's nice to want things Rare, but yeah, just like, perhaps not.
They've got, they're like, look, we have some ideas for Viva Pinata, Conker, apparently
there's a bunch of banjo ideas they have.
Everybody wants these.
Oh, that's such a great job with the last one.
Nuts and bolts.
Like, how can we trust them on this when they're not even the people making killer instinct?
It's really, like, a sad point.
I don't even care about killer instinct, but I'd care just a little bit more of the original
team or whatever was making it.
So you're going to take to see that spinning R and feel good about it again.
You could load up perfect dark on 360.
That'll make me feel good.
It's a shame because, like, the guys working at Rare, like, they're talented, but just,
like, they're so, I feel like they're on a leash.
You want to know what Donner's side of an avatar shoe looks like?
No.
Yeah, tell me.
No, we don't.
It looks like shit.
I was going to chime in that Ken Lobb did all the design work and basically created
killer instinct from the ground up, and he's working on killer instinct.
It was so cool.
He named it after a gun.
He's the best, and he's voicing thunder.
So, also, Liam brought to my attention today apparently KOF Online is fucking...
So which KOF Online is this?
This is part four, Electric Boogaloo.
I believe Liam titled it SNK Get Your Shit Together.
Yeah, that's the addition.
What is?
So this is the fourth one, right?
This literally is the fourth game that's come out with the title KOF Online.
The first one dates back to 2000.
It was a Korean MMO with, like, they had basically Mai, Terry, Kyo Iori, and then two Mark of
the Wolves characters.
That's all you need.
And that was it.
And you'd walk around fighting each other in a 3D world.
It was, like, one stage, basically.
Sounds like a beat-em-up.
It was...
No, it was MMO.
They would turn into a pseudo-fighting game in combat.
And then back to MMO.
It was wildly successful.
The second one came out not too long ago and was just an actual top view beat-em-up.
That was fucking terrible.
Yeah, I remember that one.
And that was the one that was actually produced in Japan, I believe.
I made it in Japan.
Yes, that was the Japanese one.
Yeah, with, like, you can turn into all characters at the same time or some shit like that.
Yeah, dude.
They made a third game in China where you were playing sprite edits of Kyo.
Does that even count?
Dude, every Asian country gets a shot at making a King of Fighters of Monday.
And this is from Thailand?
This is the new one.
Type 4 from Thailand.
So, Thailand gets their shot and they chose to go with MOBA.
They made a MOBA.
And, like, this is now the furthest you can get.
Did you know that MOBAs are hot right now?
We gotta get on that shit.
You should make a MOBA.
We need to get on that shit now.
When you take a friend, like, where's the Rambo MOBA?
Like, who's asking for a King of Fighters MOBA?
Like, the pure cynic in me sees these screenshots and this footage and says,
some dudes in Thailand watched the Dota 2 Finals,
called up SNK, said, here's $10 for the rights to King of Fighters,
and then pumped that shit out in a weekend.
What I was going, you know, like, the cynic in me is looking at it,
and I played Dota, I played League of Legends for all of, like, eight hours.
Yeah, you did.
And it was fun.
But, like, the environments in KOF Online, like, again, I've only played it for eight hours,
but they look like they're right out of fucking League of Legends.
That doesn't look like KOF.
Hey, man, hey, if it works.
It looks like they're just modding a game or some shit,
or like they're kind of stealing it.
Hey, man, Dota was a mod.
Like, who were you to say we can't just...
But what I mean is, like, it looks like they were just stealing it.
Passing resemblance to King of Fighters.
Look, I play a King of Fighters real-time strategy game.
Absolutely.
We need more breasts for my breast factory, or, like, whatever.
Gary needs to make more hats.
We need more Eorys.
You say that, but days of memories.
Don't forget the dating sim that came out.
Don't forget that top-down space shooter, either.
Skyscraper.
That's my favorite one.
No, get in there.
I played that one in the arcades. It's good.
It's good to see SNK is valuing their treasured IPs.
And, like, they've got a few.
Woolly, what was the one you said earlier today they should make?
I was just about to say it.
You want to talk about fucking money on the table?
Metal Slug plus Maple Story.
Absolutely.
Go do it.
I'd play it.
So much cash you don't even know.
No, we don't.
And we never will.
But they care so much about Metal Slug.
They made that great 3D game.
Don't even, don't even, shut up.
Just shut the fuck up button.
That's not even real.
That's not even real.
You're making it up.
In all fairness, like, 7 and 8.
We didn't play it.
We didn't play it.
What, Metal Slug 3D?
Yeah.
I did play it.
You did play it.
It's been erased from my mind.
Well, like, 7 and XX were good.
Sure.
Sure.
Often Clark.
Yeah.
But that hereby ends our SNK Get Your Shit Together segment.
We love you, SNK.
We'll be back next week when they make something new and stupid.
Did you guys know that apparently Blizzard is not opposed to making WoW free to play eventually?
Yeah.
And they're already on that path.
Yeah, absolutely.
I don't know when you guys played or quit WoW.
Never.
I know you never got into it.
As a matter of fact, Liam never touched it.
I think I played it for one second.
We can actually play it for one second between us three.
It sucks.
I love Warcraft lore.
I played WoW on release and got crazy, addicted and almost got kicked out of school for it.
And then quit and then went back two years later.
And you know, I've had this back and forth.
And the last time I went back, I noticed there's a lot of, hey man, you want this special unicorn mount?
It's all flashy and shiny.
How about you pay us like $20?
And those have been outrageously successful.
You're a local WoW dealer on your street corner.
And WoW has been losing its player base for quite a while now.
And I bet you there is a fucking number on a chalkboard that says the day this goes under.
You flip the fucking switch and turn on every cosmetic item in the game as something you can buy.
There's a staging server right now with all of that ready and waiting.
Yes, it's the test server.
They're going to have a weird thing where they'll say next patch is going to be free to play.
Every time you're able to go on there and buy shit for free.
Every time they walk by that server, they just pet it and they're like, soon, soon my pets.
And then basically what you do is you let that rock for a bit and you sell one final patch that leads right into Titan.
Right.
And what I see in my head is they're petting the server and then Kodak comes up from his dungeon.
And they just point the server at him and he goes, oh, it's money.
He goes back down to his hole.
It's like, yes, yes, free to play server.
You will keep us free for another six years of nothing development.
Right.
So let's make some bets here.
How long till F2P?
Two years.
No.
Well, here's the deal.
Titan has been pushed back to 2016.
Yeah.
So it makes sense to say 2015.
Yeah.
I think that's reasonable.
Why not?
It's 2013, so I said two years.
And what are you taking, Matt?
Yeah, sure.
That sounds, I don't...
We're not going to remember these fucking...
No, I'm going to watch that.
Watch that.
Someone will, though, and come back.
Someone will be like, dude, you are so stupid.
Just to validate that person, I'm going to say eight months, be back.
See, the problem with this is this isn't like a tour.
This isn't like when tour came out and everyone went, that's going to be free to play within
the year.
And it was obvious because that thing was tanking.
Yeah.
Like, wow.
Like, there's the number, right?
It could be six million.
It could be one million.
Like, who knows what it is?
Whatever date we put on it, it doesn't matter because the furthest thing on my chart right
now is Street Fighter V.
Yeah.
And then the fucking Mars mission in 2023.
So it doesn't even matter.
You're smart.
You're planning ahead for your future as a Mars rover.
Hey, man.
They're going to send dudes to Mars to live there forever.
No, I just want to see a Mars rover with like little dreadlocks on it.
Mission, mission control.
We got Liar 0.5 going.
Fuck you.
You couldn't wait for anything.
The Mars rover seems to be reporting that there's life.
We think he's lying.
That's the Liar rover.
It's just the Decepticons.
You couldn't wait for fucking Wes Marsville.
I'm sorry.
That's actually way better.
Oh, come on.
Well, we're on MMO.
So Final Fantasy XIV launched again.
It did launch again.
Yeah.
I have adjusted.
I played the beta.
You couldn't.
I wanted to guess why.
It's true.
So here's the problem.
We played, everyone made fun of it.
Matt and I made fun of it at E3 because it was so easy.
And then I played the beta and it was really good.
It's good.
And everyone played the beta and it was really good.
And there's so many people change their minds about this game
that they have ruined the game
and now make it look super terrible
because no one can play.
You know what?
It's just day one MMO shit.
So there's two parts to that.
That even happens to Blizzard sometimes.
There's two parts to that.
Every time.
The first part is you're right.
If you expect an MMO or online primarily enabled anything
to go up day one and not have problems,
you are naive at best.
You are a damn fool at worst.
That being said,
early access was a perk
that caused people to pre-order the game.
And the fact that they
every single fucking company
offers early access
and every single time
it fucking breaks either on day two of the access
or launch day proper,
it's gross.
They should stop promising that shit.
Or rolled out over like a week or something.
I do something.
Or how the early access be like a month early
before the high trade.
Let's not go nuts.
Is that nuts for an MMO launch
that a month early is stable?
Beta 3 was a month ago.
The game's way better than Beta 3.
One of the questions actually that someone was going to ask us,
which I might as well,
was, hey guys, have you played any MMOs?
Or what MMOs have you ever gotten into?
And then like gotten out of.
Now you guys have just established
or just established.
Let's give it a little rough ride.
Okay, Willie, you like ever anything?
The only ones I can say honestly were
the Ragnarok Online first version.
The Beta.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Early Ragnarok for like maybe a month or two at best.
And I played Grawl, which was,
I don't know.
We don't talk about that.
Why did you play Grawl?
That's what I was into.
Grawl was an online link to the past game.
Jesus.
Someone basically took a link to the past sprite set
and put it in an online environment
where you could make your own custom art
for your character and walk around the world.
Okay.
And like there was like fun little things
you could do in adventures and talking to people
and slash and get arrows and all that shit.
But.
But it was, it was just,
it eventually just went to nothing
because whatever, what are you going to do
with like people uploading their own
BMPs as their characters?
Yeah, all right.
You know.
Game Heroes the MMO.
So that's, and that's the only MMOs I've ever been into.
Matt, have you ever played an MMO?
Personally, like as my own internment.
Not for work.
No, never.
Yeah.
I think they're kind of lame.
I think you and I share the same feeling on this,
which is we honestly don't like the idea
of spending the money and then feeling an obligation
to the time you have to spend.
And when I did have to play them for work,
I had played Secret World and Age of Conan.
I was like, oh, nothing I'll ever play
will change my mind.
I can see how the idea of loot and whatnot
can be cracking for people.
Yeah.
I can see it.
But I just don't want to feel like I'm,
I fuck, I've spent my money,
I need to play this X amount of hours,
or I didn't get my MMO score.
I'll keep that in mind when I circle back around the mind.
But first, Liam, I have a feeling
you've actually played quite a few.
Excuse me.
I've played a handful.
Oh, and I played PSO for the Dreamcast.
Yeah.
Offline.
Of course you did.
Yeah.
But go.
PSO is not an MMO though.
I only played PSO offline.
Yeah, nice.
Qcast.
It is now.
That was a bad hype.
Again.
PSO 2 is an MMO.
PSO is not an MMO.
It looks sick.
Yeah.
So when I was in elementary school,
a lot younger than you guys,
I played RuneScape.
Yeah, you did.
With a bunch of my buddies in class.
And that was a lot of fun when we were little.
What is this?
Right?
Just like the fact that like RuneScape existed
when you were in fucking elementary school.
I'm so old.
Oh, God.
I played Ika online.
Wow.
That was kind of fun.
I played like.
I bet you you played FlyFF.
Well, you called me.
You called me these games.
I know you played.
I don't know if it's called FlyFF.
I always called it FlyFF.
I called it FlyFF.
FlyFF for fun.
FlyFF for fun.
I bet you you played that.
I played that up to like level 30 or so.
Yeah.
Until I could fly.
And then once you got the flying
and you flew around once,
you're like, yeah, I'm done.
I knew it.
I grinded up to here and I got there.
I played MapleStory for 10 minutes
and then declared it not worth my 10 minutes.
Right.
Unless it were SNK doing it.
Unless it were Metal Slug.
You fucking jokes.
You fucking jokes.
Otherwise though,
like just a handful of Korean ones
that I've forgotten at this point.
Okay.
I haven't been into any big ones
and never any paid-to-play games.
The only ones I ever got into were big ones.
I'm looking forward to FF14.
Right.
I really am.
I played 10,
like I played like three or four hours
of that awesome Guild Wars one demo
during E3 where they let everyone play
the E3 build and then said,
I hate this.
I played enough WoW that it destroyed my life.
Checked out the artwork for Magna Carta.
Yeah.
I did.
I did.
I did.
I did.
I played Terra for about a month
when I went free.
Had a lot of fun.
That game plays really well.
Everything about is garbage.
Okay.
Other than the fact that it plays really well.
I played Guild Wars 2.
Of course.
For three months.
I had to play that with you.
And so Guild Wars 2 comes to the point
that you were saying,
the best thing about Guild Wars 2
is that you buy a fucking boxed copy
and you own Guild Wars 2 forever.
That is the smartest,
most respectable,
the B2T.
The problem with Guild Wars 2
is that every single thing about it is amazing
except for the pet part where it plays
slightly worse than Terra.
And all you can think about is how you wish
you could play it with a controller
like you could play Terra.
And then FF14 comes along
which has the best control,
like complicated PC controller interface
I've ever seen for any game ever.
Everything that you can do in an MMO
and FF14 you can do perfectly with a controller.
It's incredibly impressive.
That's pretty smart.
That realm is totally reborn, you guys.
It is!
It is, though.
No one knows though.
And the first FF14 was one of the worst MMOs ever.
It's really popular to remake.
People know, man.
It's good.
Like over 500,000 new subscribers.
Sure, but no one can play it.
Like this has been one of the most
that you will.
I have to say,
this has been one of the most
delicate pay attention
to what everybody wants
and relaunch this game.
It was a weird thing.
Because Wada said it damaged the brand.
It was a weird thing.
There were two parts to that
that happened that were huge drama things.
The first one was that the FF14
at launch was so bad for so long
that one of Square Enix's
gigantic investors that had
millions of shares in the company
wrote them a letter saying,
you guys suck, I hate you.
And pulled his shares all out.
Because he was a player.
Yeah, he was a player.
He was a player in the game.
I hate Final Fantasy now.
Good job, idiots.
And quit.
And then the one guy on the team,
Naoki Yoshida,
you were Yoshi P.
Who was saying,
yo guys, your game is garbage.
This is going to blow up in your face.
He was the one guy with the sense
to see it coming.
They said, well,
you were right.
He takes as much time
and money as you need.
Just fix it.
And he fixed it so good that it's broken.
Just one last MMO thing.
I played Vendictus.
I forgot about that.
What is that?
I heard of that.
It's a sick action RPG.
That's like an online game.
It's not quite an MMO,
but it's got like a bunch of co-op and stuff.
It's an action game.
Okay.
And like just heavy RPG elements.
Like that's it.
I like Guns the Dual,
but it wasn't released in MMO.
It's kind of like Guns the Dual in that.
But in an MMO environment.
You know, if that FPS
didn't make you so vomited,
I would tell you to check out
Planetside too.
Yeah.
I'm looking forward to that.
What was that MMO that you were talking about
that had really awful character design,
but it had like sick action,
like character...
Tara.
Tara.
That was really good.
It's the game that has the little girls
with the huge asses
that make everyone super uncomfortable.
So that's one of the games
where I looked at it.
I was like,
wow, that looks actually like
not the type of combat
that I hate about MMOs.
And but when you show me...
It plays really well.
And then you see like a 12 year old
in like a bikini walk by
and you go,
oh god, am I fucking playing this game?
I'm subscribing to this.
So, yeah, let's transition
from fucking 12 year olds
in bikinis and whatnot
to...
They're magical elf girls
or some bullshit.
Yeah, let's just bring that
right into fighting game news.
Same deal.
Well, Atlas apparently decided
to bring Aquaposa to the US.
I never heard of that.
Why?
I never heard of it.
And I'm like, why?
And then I looked in the screenshot
and I went, oh, I know why
I never heard of this.
Yeah.
So, Woolly and I played Aquaposa
a little bit.
It's legit.
It's legit.
What kind of game is it?
It's a fighter.
No, no, no.
I mean, what style?
Anime fighter.
It's like anime Capcom,
somewhere in between.
Anime fighter with strikers.
So JoJo.
Yeah.
Like the old JoJo.
More anime than that.
More anime than that?
Yeah.
Wow.
So it's multi-blood.
Yes.
Kind of.
It plays real good.
It's characters from Aqua Plus.
That's what they're called.
Something.
So like...
If I can confirm this information.
Yeah, I was thinking out loud.
So like comic party and white album
and a bunch of things
that nobody's ever heard of.
And I...
Like it's cool that they're
localizing it.
I'll pick it up.
But...
We played it and we walked
and we stood up and we went...
It's...
Well, that's legit.
That's never discussed.
It's one of those things
where you...
We're always screaming
for everything to be localized
ever.
Yeah.
And then they actually
picked one that you're like,
yeah, this didn't need to come over.
But you know what does need
to come over?
Vib ribbon?
Vib ribbon?
Vib ribbon is awesome.
Vib ribbon should really make it up.
No, Under Night in Baths.
I don't understand.
No, that doesn't need to come over.
It doesn't.
What can go to the next topic?
No.
Go to the next topic.
Shut up.
Things that are actually coming
over.
Nick Hallis is bringing over
Yadda Garasu.
Attack on Cataclysm.
But renaming it Legend of Raven.
That's a smart move, though.
You know what that is?
Calling that a different name.
Attack on Cataclysm.
So here's the deal.
No, no, no.
Yadda Garasu is the game
that's out now.
Attack on Cataclysm is a big
patch that just got crowdfunded.
Yeah.
And Yadda Garasu means
Legend of the Raven.
No, I think Yadda Garasu is
like a legendary spirit.
Whatever.
It's a Raven thing.
Nick, pick your shit.
All right.
Well, let's weave for a minute.
Garasu being Charis,
being the actual crow word.
Fuck these guys.
Right?
Word for crow.
Yeah, yeah.
But Yadda Garasu is a real thing.
It's an actual type of spirit.
Yeah.
There is a real thing.
There is a real thing.
There is a real thing.
There is a real thing.
There is a real thing.
It's an actual type of spirit.
Yeah.
There was that character in
Ace Attorney Investigations 1
that was the Yadda Garasu.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, fair day.
Legend of the Raven.
Coming to not your 3DS.
Canceled for 3DS.
But your Vita.
Because of the mystical fighting
game community that did not have
any opinion about this.
Which is what the fuck?
Because I don't have a Vita.
I have a 3DS and I was actually
excited about it.
I'll tell you the reason why.
I'll tell you the reason
because Nick Hollis is a shit
publisher that will do anything
they can to get the easiest thing
out of it.
Hold on a minute.
Easy self-publishing.
Dem's fighting words because
Nick Hollis, you got to respect him.
He's the guy that got Pixel out of
his cave.
Pixel the maker of Cave Story.
He was a Cave Story creator.
He was an amazing guy.
Cave Story was made in a cave?
Yes.
And he never wanted to talk to
anybody.
He didn't want to do anything.
He's just like, I don't want to
make games anymore.
He should go make games in the
Japan Indy scene.
And Nick Hollis actually convinced
him.
But that's one guy that was able
to convince him.
Nick Hollis themselves promised
games for years and then they
don't do anything to support them.
They don't advertise them.
Dude, I don't know if they have
the power or budget to.
They're not a big company.
No, they're not saying.
They're not saying national TV
campaign.
But like when the 3DS launched
or was it the 3DS, they said,
here's this cool game called
Night Sky.
And they had a WiiWare version.
They were going to put out
Nexplay version.
And like three years go by and
then I found out.
A couple versions came out.
Hey, speaking of weird,
nonsensical delays.
Hold on.
Sorry.
They weren't even the developer
of Night Sky.
No, no.
It was like a two guy team.
But look, it's strong.
But shit publisher is a really
strong term.
Like shit publisher.
Oh.
Anyway.
You know who's a shit publisher?
What kind of question is that?
All I'm trying to say is it's
not easy work.
Because two things that came
out.
They constantly disappointed fans
and there's a whole thing on Gaff
of people saying, I fucking
hate Nick Hollis.
Here are the reasons why.
It's not like it.
Yeah, that's 20 people on Gaff.
Anyway.
You know what are two things
that came out today?
Capcom is A, not giving us a
retail version of Ace Attorney 5.
So fuck you, Capcom.
And the second thing is that the
Wii U version of Shadows Over
Mystara has been mysteriously
delayed till September again.
Yeah.
What does that have to do with
fighting games?
I don't know.
I'm just shitting on Capcom.
Well, you know what?
Capcom makes fighting games.
Well, I'm going to buff them up.
Guess what they're doing?
You'll like this.
With Ultra Super Street Fighter,
Ultra Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Hyper Fighting Mega Edition.
For matching service, the best
collection.
Thank you.
Ultra Super Ultra Street Fighter
4 is they're rebalancing it.
They're doing a bunch of stuff,
as you guys know.
I'm pretty excited for that.
I like the idea of it.
Yeah, I'll get another revision
of SF4.
I'll get another revision of
SF4.
I'm supposed to be getting to
earlier.
We knew this.
We knew this, but we didn't
talk about it.
But some people that are
actually complaining on my
Facebook about like, oh, Capcom
comes again to gank my pocket.
Or whatever.
It's like, no, guys.
No, it's not for you.
Exactly.
If you stopped playing the game,
then you don't have an opinion here.
Like, for me, I am one of those
people.
I stopped playing SF4 seriously,
but I still want to pick this up
because I'll play with the new
characters for a couple hours in
training mode.
And that's enough for me.
That's all I want.
And the people who are into it
want a game that's live and
active so that they can have
some fun.
And I also want a version of
SF4 on my PC that doesn't
have fucking games for Windows
on it.
True that.
Now that being said,
interesting noise, not noise.
Interesting news for you
specifically, Liam.
Sounds like noise.
They're trying to close the
gap between Hakan's oiled and
non-oiled versions.
Yeah.
That's his balance sheet.
Wait, that's interesting to
Liam?
Dude, he's my main.
He's my main.
Fuck off.
He plays it still.
Let's go pour oil all over
ourselves.
Implying I'm not doing it
already.
You're not doing it already.
Take it out.
Give me some oil.
But like I said,
Liam still plays the game and
you don't.
I still beat him.
I still beat him.
I still beat him.
There's a real easy way to solve
this argument.
We could use a video game to do
it.
Yeah.
What video game?
You know what else we found
out?
Street Fighter 4 vanilla.
This is something that's always
plagued me.
Speaking of Street Fighter 4
vanilla.
Yeah.
Why would anyone be speaking
that?
Because you know what's
interesting?
There's one thing that I was in
those that I completely forgot
about.
Then I was like,
What's the second hit?
The post hits.
Yeah.
I got rid of it.
What happened to that?
The amount of people were
sold.
That's not true.
That's what he said.
Yeah.
We found out the real reason.
I just want to say something
real quick about this post-KO
thing.
Yeah.
There are so many people
freaking out about it.
It's a fucking post hit.
Yeah.
Liam.
Liam.
Liam.
It felt really good.
Dude, I did it.
It felt good.
I know what it felt like.
It was a little bit of that
third strike.
Yeah.
The little like,
Oh.
You know what?
You can take the post-KO hit
out.
After a KO.
Thing is, though,
despite whatever,
and there was a bit of this
explosion when it first
happened, right?
Yeah.
So this is a really old
argument, to be honest.
But it's back now.
But yes, because of the news,
but here's the deal.
Combo Fiend comes out and goes,
Guys, here's the reason why.
There was some massive
bugs that would happen in
the post-KO state.
So better to just cut it
and ignore all that bullshit.
If it feels good,
we understand,
but if it crashes the game,
it's got to go.
And you're like,
You know what, Peter?
You're right.
So then why did Ono give
a bad explanation?
Because people aren't reasonable.
But that was an unreasonable
answer.
Yeah, no.
I'm not saying Ono's...
I'm not saying...
I'm not Ono.
But...
You're not Ono.
No.
Are you?
You do like Locke.
And I met...
And I met...
I'm not Ono,
but I met him.
He seemed cool, right?
He's the coolest.
Yeah.
He wore flip flops that day.
So...
That's a business day.
That's what's been going on
with Street Fighter.
There has been a fucking cool
blast of news about Killer Instinct
out of Gamescom.
Pricing goods.
Pricing goods.
Some weird, some bad.
New character announcements.
Rebalance news.
All kinds of cool ships going on.
Rebalance news.
Rebalance news.
Oh, rebalancing news.
I don't think that
the most expensive version
of Killer Instinct
is worth the increased price.
So here's the thing.
I just...
I have no problem
with the packages so far.
It's been cool.
The only thing is
they just need to stop
saying the word pack.
Just say full games.
But it's not because
the full game is coming later.
They're going to add characters
over time.
That's why he's saying
don't call it a pack
because people don't like the word.
Then have the pack
and have the expansion characters.
Like, I don't make people
feel weird about it.
I can understand
the ideology
or the need
to want to say
we have a fighting game
at launch.
Because that's awesome.
That's fighting games.
Launch fighting games are radical.
Take a tag too.
And Soul Caliber
are like the greatest.
Definitely too.
I can't look so sick.
Not take a tag too.
Just take a tag.
Just take a tag.
Yeah.
Like the way
that they're handling this
of like there's going to be
six characters
and there's going to be eight
characters.
It's really
and it's a lot like
Microsoft handling.
It's like the
phase one.
The wording
is really confusing
and it's scaring a lot of people
off
and it's making a lot of people
who are very easy
to irritate
very upset.
Yeah.
And that's unfortunate
because that's a whole lot of people.
I would much
spend a lot of money.
I would much rather
have them taken the time
and said
here's Killer Instinct.
It's 40 bucks.
Here it is.
Yeah.
It's fucking done.
And done a Capcom.
Just done
Super Killer Instinct
a year and a half later
if it did well.
The biggest bummer
for me is just there's
no physical version
because I'm not getting
an Xbox one.
Well I wanted to buy a copy.
Liam.
I hear you.
Get used to that.
Well I know not really actually.
Being a bummer.
Not really actually
because Ken Lobb said
yeah there will be
a physical release
much later.
Oh I just mean it Jim.
Well I'll buy it much later.
But like.
Nice.
It's a shame.
So Madden Eye the other day
just got super hyped
over the
the
the
the
the
the smallest little details
of nothing.
We were watching
this really hype.
It was a video
of
Thunder
not Chief Thunder anymore
just
Thunder
Ultra and doing some
crazy combos
and they played
the old announcer
right.
They got the actual guy back
to switch it.
It's just not.
Yeah.
So he does
like a 30 hit combo
and at the end
the announcer goes
God like combo
and it sounds like
the previous version
was completely different.
It would be God like
combo.
Yeah.
And then I'm watching
I'm like
all God like combo
he's going to say
and then he just
and he says it like
the way they used to say
ultimate combo.
Exactly.
And then he's on
his instinct mode
and he dashes
he becomes
a
murder of
codes.
Yeah.
And they fly off at you
and then he comes out of them
seen for his back.
That's really cool.
It's the sick as shit.
So there's some
really cool stuff going on
with his design.
Ken Lobb is
actually his voice actor.
That was news to me.
I did that.
That is some
weird.
He did a bunch of
voices for a lot of rare
stuff.
Back in the day
and now he's doing it again.
Did he do his own
like hurt noises
now because he's gone?
Yeah.
Did he do the shoot noise?
Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.
That being said
the killer instinct stuff
and about how there will be
a retail release
and they're right.
There's there's a
piece of that
that makes me uneasy
which is and that's the
fact that
we talked to last week
about games for Windows Live
is gone and dead
or will be.
Yeah.
And what it's
turning out to mean
is that
games by companies
that don't exist anymore
or by companies
that don't care
once those servers
authentications go off
those games don't exist.
You won't be able to play them
if you have a box
to a new copy.
There'll be no activation
server to ping.
And that makes it
so that Microsoft
has been pushed
with the Xbox One
is buying our
online infrastructure
except that the last two
online infrastructures
they made
were the Xbox One
original Xbox
and games for Windows Live
and both of those
don't exist anymore
and you can't get
your purchases back.
But to be super
perfectly fair
like both of them
are garbage.
But games for Windows
like whatever
but with the Xbox
original
online service
that lasted like
halfway through
the 360s life.
It only ended like
last year or something.
Yeah.
They let it rock because
they let it rock because
there was these guys
playing Halo 2
and they stayed
in that one match.
Yeah.
But here's the perfect example.
Games for Windows Live
has Gears of War One
on PC
and it's the only way
when that dies
you'll never be able
to play Gears of War One
on PC again.
But you can't compare
but like
because people like
to play old games.
But you know what?
But compare that to
like Tekken World Federation.
Sometimes this dude
loads up second impact
into a Dreamcast.
That's a second impact
really good.
It's my fault.
Like Gears of War Two
is better than Gears of War One
like every way.
But like
Tekken World Federation
mode in Tekken Tag
Tournament
is shutting down
like on the 30th
and that game just came out.
APB all points bulletin
shut down
moments after it launched.
Well it was bad.
So what I'm saying
is in these days
this day and age
like I
when an online infrastructure
lasts more than
a couple of years
outside of its expected
lifespan.
The problem
the problem is
is that you're always
supposed to be comparing
that to
what's the best market
alternative.
The best market alternative
is Steam
which came online
in what night
2000 and
three.
I want to say two
and I think they've taken
like a dozen games
off the service
and those were because
the companies went bankrupt
or some shit.
Like
come on guys.
You also have to remember
that like
Ken Lobber who ever said
that killerings thing
is going to be
like our first
party fighting game.
Yes.
And it will last
like there's not
going to be a killerings two.
Yeah we're going to push
this game.
It's going to put more
content.
You mean your range
you mean like
perfect dark zero.
No I mean like
Halo.
Oh.
It'll be going for a while
and hey look
who look who's coming back
to mystery.
Kim Woo.
Character fucking Kim Woo.
What's Kim Woo.
It's actually not
because you didn't look at the
thing I posted on your wall.
I said it's you earlier.
No.
Wait you can see this.
I can click on it.
It's not like Kim Woo.
So before
you got me on blast
in front of everybody
for so fucking your shine.
So like
it's not how that
a few days ago
he's totally misusing
the phone.
Yo that's not
what I wanted to say.
Yeah you're going to rock.
This isn't a Mario game.
It's a shine.
Shine.
Blah.
Man.
Let me explain this.
It's not Kim Woo.
In light to me.
A few days ago
Game Chalers puts a
thunder combo video
and then puts this
shot of this brand new
character.
Like that looks
completely crazy
and different than
anyone else.
And then Game Chalers
takes out that video
seconds later.
That's what you
always want to see
because you're like
now I know something
that I'm not supposed
to do.
And then
what's that...
The
Lee hopefully,
Anyway he lied to you
about a giraffe
anyway that giraffe
was real.
I looked it up.
Where was it?
It was at spike.
It wasn't at E3.
It was at spike.
Well then it wasn't
the E3 giraffe.
Well it was there during
E3.
Anyway I wish I could
just talk with the
sound of Doritos
in my mouth right now.
Anyway
Hold on while
I pour Mountain Dew
No!
I went to event hubs
and he's talking
about Killers and
I go to his site
like he loves it.
Anyway
So he's the only person
that got that
footage of that character
therefore it's like
one of his most popular
videos.
Yeah.
Just that character
and then
some Killers and
Fanciers like
we got word that
this is a brand new
character called
Sedira.
So it's not Kim Woo
it's not Orchid
Thank God.
Okay.
Cause that would be
the worst redesign ever.
Well she's a spider
that looks like
looks like a
mortal combat character.
That also was a
Marvel character
cause he's doing
aerial combos.
Launches and
aerial raves.
Aerial raves
I'm sorry.
So I was going to
say I think
they should have waited
to have an all
original character
that should have been
like a much later
DLC character.
They put
out all your
garbage
spinels that
people want.
Before classics out there
though.
No.
No.
Every other
game.
Spinal was so bad.
Spinal.
See here's
the perfect example.
Gameplay wise.
I don't care about killer
instinct.
Like if Spinal
was in the game
I'd like take a look at it
cause Spinal's so dumb.
But the Spinal
gameplay wise was
so bad in our
case statistics for
K.I.1 were like
he's the least played
character by far
and Rare said
no we have to fix this
character.
We're not going to take
him out like we did
Thunder, Rifter and
Cinder.
And he was on the fucking
cover of the killer cut
CD.
We put him back in K.I.2
they still don't fix him
he's awful to play as.
He's still a cool skeleton
dumb guy.
That's what I want.
Chasing in the Argonauts.
So like that
everyone just wants
the all of the original
cast first.
But the very first one
would happen on Street Fighter
4.
Everyone wanted
the original
guys from SF2.
Everyone hated
all the
four new characters.
We like them.
I just thought Abel
needed longer pants.
I thought that Rufus
should not be in the game.
He's the only one I hate.
But the thing though
is there's a very specific
reason why they unveiled her
and they've explained it
it's because the first
characters
the first characters
they want to show you
of the original eight
they want them to be
drastically different
in play style
and then the next eight
are going to be
less drastic.
More classic.
What's the big difference
between TJ Combo
and Ritor?
Dude I don't know.
More or less they have
giant torpedo attacks at you.
They're both kind of
rush down characters.
They rush at you
like all the rest
like Full Gore's
probably going to be a zoning
character
until the projectiles
reflects
and Orchid is just
going to be
like another rush down
character
mid-screen or something.
What is her Jaguar
pants going to look like?
Probably has much
particle effects
out the ass hole
probably.
Anyway so that's
all pretty cool
but like I was going to say
you should wait to
make new characters.
Don't put them out
right away.
Fool everyone.
Fool everyone.
I guarantee you
the next one's going to be
a classic.
That's what better
be like an Orchid.
Like we can all agree
that we love Third Strike
but we can also
all agree that New Generation
was a fucking disaster.
Yeah.
Like
Although when I played it
the first time it was
the hypest thing.
Yeah but you can't
make a fighting game
that's like a
old favorite
and have like
most of the
cast be
new people.
Which is why
when they pulled like
when the original
version of that was
No Ryu and Ken.
No Ryu and Ken at all.
It was just going to be
Sean and Shoshodo.
Oh that's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But to be fair
I love the idea
of how they pitched
that meeting
at the guys.
You walk in the arcade
you look up
and you just see three
and you're like
what is that?
No.
I don't have to ask.
I know.
Because Capcom set
themselves up
for that joke.
Because Capcom
can't count to three
exactly.
Capcom can't count to three.
I talked with Matt
a bit about this
and I don't know
I actually like her
and I think it's
cool.
She's the character
out this early.
You know I didn't really
play K.I. so I don't
really have any affinity
to it and that's why
but I think it's great
same with Street Fighter.
You listen to the music though.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Of course I listen to it.
Yeah.
You put in
it and had enough of our videos.
Yeah.
You can't avoid it.
Sorry.
I think by now
we put more
platinum music
and anything else
but it's close.
Yeah.
I mean
just wait a couple
minutes.
You'll hear it again.
Maybe.
No.
Confirmed.
Confirmed.
Yeah.
Confirmed.
Confirmed.
Ben Affleck.
So here's the thing
about this whole situation.
We know a friend of ours
is hanging himself
right now
as he listens to this
podcast.
Yes.
But here's where
I flip the script on you.
Oh.
Oh.
All right.
Oh.
We should be hype.
How are you going to
be hype?
I'm not going to say
be hype.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you, man.
And you're still getting
Zack Snyder as the director
of this thing
so it's going to have
like the Montumes
you're going to have
cool action
and nothing else
going on in between.
I was like
but remember
what people said
and reacted
when Heath Ledger
was casted
as the Joker.
Yes.
That's true.
Okay.
You can go back
and find everyone
going what the fuck
all I'm going to think
about is gay cowboys.
This is bullshit.
Yeah.
No.
Heath Ledger
Heath.
Sorry.
I fucked that up.
That's a mispronunciation.
Heath Ledger
was
not in
the exact same kind of
movie
that he was going.
If Heath Ledger
was going to do
another gay cowboy movie
and people said
oh no
not Heath Ledger
that would be different.
Ben Affleck
already did a fucking
superhero movie
and he was fucking
terrible in it
as a
as like a
sea-lister
as Daredevil.
Okay.
And now you're going to tell me
that his awesome
rain fight
with Jennifer Garner
is what got him
the fucking role
in Batman?
Come on.
Couldn't be worse
than George Clooney.
Yeah.
It can be worse
than George Clooney.
I know.
I kind of like George
Clooney as Batman.
Well then you're an awful person.
No.
But I like it
because it's the
worst thing ever.
I guess so.
Danny Ocean
is not Bruce Wayne.
Listen.
Danny Ocean
kind of is Bruce Wayne.
The Fantastic One.
Johnny Storm.
Who is the actor
that played the Human Torrey?
Wow.
I didn't listen to that at all.
Chris Evans.
That's true.
Chris Evans
is an awesome captain
in America.
That's a really good point, dude.
Look, I'm not a big
huge Ben Affleck fan
as an actor.
He's an awesome
director.
Not that that
means too much.
But
no one should be mad
about Ben Affleck
being Batman.
They should be mad.
We're getting
another fucking
man of steel movie.
Yeah.
Well see,
this is the first one
and I will continue
to ignore it.
Oh, that's a thing.
If Ben Affleck
was in it
and they announced
a new director,
all they're doing
in a different story,
I'd be like really
legitimately hyped.
Well, the thing that
makes me worried is
that they say Affleck
has a fucking 13
movie deal
or some bullshit.
Everyone has a 13
movie deal.
Until it tanks.
Yeah.
Like Eric Banna
as the Hulk had
a four movie deal.
Wow.
He got hosed.
No.
Well, the deal has
more mistifulations.
Always.
Always.
But yeah,
like Ben Affleck,
I'm sure,
I guess,
and it'll be fine.
Your new Batman is Geely.
Yeah.
And you know,
and I wasn't super crazy
about Christian Bale thinking.
I was never,
like, it's fine.
And you know what?
By the time we got to the end,
I wasn't crazy about him.
Keaton, Keaton all the way.
Oh my God, Keaton.
Wes!
His face is
Wes!
Yeah,
put Wes in there.
Fire Wes again.
He's mixed
man of steel.
Yeah.
Oh dude,
like 90 year old.
Like 90 year old.
They're right in with the rest of them.
Like,
think how cool that would be,
like 90 year old,
60s Batman
in there,
steel with no changes.
Maybe start nine returns.
No, no,
he's doing the bat to see
and shit.
He's that guy.
Exactly.
The one thing I remember thinking
when they said like,
oh,
why didn't they get like
Mark Hamill?
And I was like,
Mark Ham,
as the Joker,
when there was like,
Heath Ledger.
Mark Hamill is the best
cartoon Joker ever.
I have no,
I have no action
Joker.
I have no confidence
in his ability to pull it off
in real life.
Especially when he said,
I will never perform it
in a place where people can see
me.
And now,
he refuses to be seen.
And now he doesn't even do
the Joker thing anymore
anyway.
Now it's Troy Baker
is the Joker.
Troy Baker is going to be
your new everything.
Right.
But like,
just quickly,
Batman,
like,
the thing is,
like,
if it was just a couple years
ago,
I'd be like,
Argo,
Argo,
the town,
and I can't remember
his other one.
They're like my,
like three,
like probably my top 20 movies
ever.
The Holy Shit Ben Affleck trilogy.
The Holy Shit Ben Affleck,
it's a director,
I don't get it.
A trilogy.
Like those are
awesome movies.
So now I'm like,
I guess.
Yeah.
But there's no,
like who else?
Anyone have any suggestions
who could be Batman?
Aston Kutcher.
Aston Kutcher.
You know what,
I think the most disappointing
thing about this,
this announcement,
is that it lets us know
exactly what the plot of this
movie is going to be.
It's going to be the same plot
as every single comic ever
in which,
man,
Batman and Superman are going to
fucking fight.
You know what they're going to do?
Superman's going to be like,
who are you Batman?
He's,
Batman's going to be like,
fuck off,
here's Kryptonite.
And he's like,
oh,
and then they're both going to be
like, oh no,
Lex Luthor's evil,
let's team up.
For a while,
Carl Urban was the one that
people were thinking of.
That's not a bad choice for
you.
You're going to say,
and you never see Bruce Wayne.
You just see Batman.
He only wears the cowl.
Yeah.
But no,
and I have to say for me too,
as well,
when I saw Ben Affleck sitting
around with Tarantino and
Angley and all those other
directors,
sort of,
and they just sat around.
You're like, oh wow,
dude.
Yeah,
for real,
he's a real like dude.
They let him in the room.
Yeah.
And listen to what he had to say.
As a director,
not as an actor.
Yeah.
This week on Matt Watch,
who is Matt Stucking Today.
You're just making me think
of Baywatch with that voice.
No.
It's gonna be night.
It's gonna be night.
It's got Watch in the fucking
title.
Night.
On this week's episode.
Oh, there's always a fjord.
Or a ravine.
On this one.
We have a story.
Of Matt Watch.
I am creeping on Ben Affleck.
No, I'm kidding.
Actually,
just really recently,
I think we're doing a
WrestleMania.
And I mentioned,
we were talking about Tristratus
a little bit.
And someone said,
what's Tristratus up to?
And I said,
she's a brunette now.
And everyone was like,
oh, okay.
That's better.
That's cool.
I'm searching for pictures
to put as the borders
for a WrestleMania episode.
And I found
a Tristratus video.
It said,
not safe for work.
So I clicked it.
And it's,
it's,
it's a fine video.
But I think I,
and you'll,
you'll like this too.
Because when you found out
that Matt Stratus's move
was called the Stratus Faction.
Stratus Faction.
You went,
that's super cool.
I'm getting increasingly worried
that you're not describing
what this video is.
I'm about to.
Like Matt,
like Shining Fingered the Mouse.
I'm about to.
She,
she owns her own brand
of yoga,
like centers.
Of course,
yoga.
In Toronto.
Of course she does.
In Toronto.
In Toronto.
Guess what the name
of the,
the yoga centers are called.
Stratus Faction.
The Stratosphere.
So what the video is,
is her doing her yoga work out.
And I looked at like,
how old is she now?
I'm like,
oh wow,
that's,
that's older than I thought.
But she looks super awesome
and she's just like
super athletic.
Like,
wow.
The magic
of yoga life.
Like,
like she looks better now
than she did
during when she's
wearing all those.
That's,
that's why Dalsims kept
this figure.
Right.
All these years.
So I was like,
watching the video.
Yeah.
No dialogue.
Just her doing yoga moves
and I was like,
you go up to Toronto
and you grab a chair
and you give her a chair
shot and see if she knows
how to spell it.
You see,
she still knows how to do it.
So,
so my love of Farage and Stratus
has rekindled this week.
Pretty good.
It's pretty good.
Let's take a look at some
questions cause it's
latter time.
It's latter time.
Does that,
does that show still exist?
It does not.
Not.
Everyone is,
is dead.
Nicholas Pickless,
if you're out there
listening to this,
I love you.
You're my hero.
Was that his real name?
Yeah.
I don't know it,
actually at all.
You gave me some facts though.
Oh, I did give you something.
You dropped the knowledge.
You're like,
he's a DJ in real life
and he just did it for fun.
He wasn't even getting
paid at the A.A.A.
Dude, that's sick.
That's sick.
Really quickly.
We're talking about
a show called
Video and Arcade Top 10.
We need to establish this.
Yeah.
Just really quick,
I think about Video Arcade
or Arcade Top 10 is that
when they would get a letter
for their letter time section,
a kid would say,
hello,
Video and Arcade Top 10.
I really like video games
and Mario.
I have a Nintendo
Game Boy.
And then
Nicholas Pickles with a big
shitty eating grin says,
we're going to send you two
copies of Vector Man.
Because that's the game
we played today.
Yeah.
They would never tailor it.
Yeah.
But the thing always
tells you what they have.
I love Game Boy games.
Yeah.
You're a game gear
game bitch.
I hated that part
of Video Arcade Top 10.
What other questions?
Well, wait,
before that,
if you have a question to send
in, where should you send it?
Will they?
Super best friend cast
at gmail.com.
Oh man,
this is my favorite part
again?
Super best friend cast
at gmail.com.
You don't have
to type the dumb
accent.
You just,
it's just words.
Anyway,
you can send it
over there.
I'll probably click through
it, maybe not.
But if you have a decent
enough question,
there's a shitload of
questions here.
Yes,
there's a whole lot.
Let's do a bunch.
But we're just doing a
couple of them.
And it'll make it easier
if you just get right to
the question so I can see
it in the summary
or title.
If you're
asking about knife fights,
knife fights in the
subject,
we'll read a letter called
knife fights.
I really want to talk about
knife fights on this
podcast.
No one's given me the
excuse.
Remember the time you saw
that knife fight?
Oh,
sick.
So Levi,
Levi asks,
so how many times has Matt
been banned from
Neogath?
I can't believe someone
picked up on that.
When did we ever say that?
I don't know.
Someone made the
connection.
How many times?
What's the
counting?
Okay,
so,
here's the thing.
Levi,
that's a great question.
Is it times I
knew why I got banned?
No,
no,
just times.
Period.
Three times.
Jeez.
Two of those times,
I don't know why
and I tried to
find out why
and therefore I
don't learn my lesson.
But the Neogath
mods are just
fascist.
So,
no,
so mods at Neogath,
when you ban someone,
make sure to just
put in like
your banning message
what the thread was
because I don't know.
When I get my next
account.
Which you will.
Which I will.
Yeah,
it was the one time you
knew.
It just said
no trolling and that
wasn't a thing where
everyone got banned.
I forget what it was.
Oh,
you were being a dick.
Yeah,
I was being a dick.
I still don't know how
the fuck
Pat has not gone ban
a million times.
Because I'm smarter
than you on the internet.
I don't know what you
actually are.
All on the internet.
All on the internet.
But you've told me
some other stuff that
has nothing to do with
me.
Eric asks,
then this was for everyone,
at any point in your life
were you ever sucked up
in a shitty card game?
Sucked up in a shitty card game.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
What has sucked up me?
You got it
gone away from you.
Satuated.
Liam's face is
being
sucked into.
Imagination.
The Neopets card game.
Are you sure this is the
question for all of us
or just Liam?
Okay.
Before Liam continues.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
I got hype
Marvel cards and
I used to,
they were just trading cards.
If I'm going to play
a fucking card game
I'm going to fucking play
poker for money.
Yeah.
No.
Hold on.
I mean for fun
with my friends.
No money on the table.
There's one exception
which is this is now.
Oh yeah.
Yomi.
Yomi is really hyped
from Serlin Games.
Okay.
It's a card game
that acts like a fighting game
and it's a normal deck.
It's a deck game.
I actually just.
You get the deck.
It's a poker deck.
It's a normal deck.
I actually just thought of one
so I'll let Liam finish.
No.
You go first.
If you got one.
There's one
and I'm pretty sure that
everyone who is into
JRPGs in 1999
also fell on the same trap
and that's Triple Triad.
Yeah.
Triple Triad
the mini game from FF8
is the greatest card game
ever made.
Okay.
And it is criminal
and stupid.
It doesn't count.
Yeah.
It's criminal and stupid
that Square Enix
has not made an iOS
and an Android version
of that card game.
Okay.
Well fuck it.
If that counts
then I got into
SNK vs Capcom
card fighters.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Exactly.
You don't count.
So shitty card games.
Imagination.
The Neopets card game.
Legend of the Five Rings
by Wizards.
Of course
I played like magic
and stuff.
Of course.
Of course.
I wouldn't say
or shitty card games though.
Um
I was
super into Pokemon
for a long time.
Well everyone
that liked Pokemon
in that time was.
Not normally
until they're like
20 years old or so.
Okay.
I've won so many
I've zoned so many
kids at Pokemon.
Did you ever
put a Yu-Gi-Oh!
thing on your arm?
Never.
Okay.
Only you've done that.
Fuck off.
Shut up.
I've never played Yu-Gi-Oh!
I think the weirdest part
about that Pokemon card game
was that I had a part
in my life where I said
man fuck you nerds
card games are for dorks.
I'm going to go over
and play Pokemon
on my fucking hand.
Yeah.
Well listen
I have a fucking video
of the kid playing Yu-Gi-Oh!
way too seriously.
Yes absolutely.
And like I
like I reveal my
card and with that
fixes glasses glasses
my turn is ending.
Does he
does he put a fedora on
at the end of this video?
Might as well.
I
I fucking love card games
and like
card game video game
hybrids are the best.
So I love
I love
Lost Kingdoms
Mega Man Battle Network
Kingdom Hearts
Chain of Memories
I think
I think they're the worst
and every time one gets
announced for a series
that I care about
I get
well now I know
who to beat on.
Oh yeah
Baton Kitos
Oh that's not
No that's not a
pinball.
No no the game
with the game where you
laid out the card monsters
that would fit at your place
the GameCube game.
Sorry which one?
You throw it on a card
and then a
Lost Kingdom
World of Lost Kingdom
Baton Kitos
Baton Kitos
Shit
You guys
I love card games
I fucking love card games
so much.
It's like poker.
You nerd.
No it's not a real card game.
Hey you can make
back in the day
back in the day
you can make tons of money
off of Pokemon.
I will say that.
You still can.
I bought a big
I bought a bunch of Pokemon
cards from a guy
that didn't want them anymore
and sold them to
my comic shop
and I never touched them
at all.
You know
that was it.
You were the great market.
Oh yeah.
For one summer
me and my friend bought
there was a killer
really killer instinct
like when it came out
1996-1997
and then
then that
Udon Street Fighter
one came out
one of Udon
I tried that.
A lot of people play
I don't know.
We've got to
slow down here guys
or soon we're going to
start playing Pog.
No we've got to play
Pog.
I play
Batman Forever Pog.
The Goosebumps
Slammer
nothing could be
that fucking thing.
Slammer
It's called a
Slammer.
It's called a
Slammer.
It's called both
double sticks.
No the rhythm sticks
were better.
Double sticks.
No
no they're called
double sticks but there
is a different brand
called rhythm sticks
and had people
try both types of
like fuck these
double sticks.
Guys I'm trapped in the 90s.
We're going to get in
a fucking fist fight
over this shit right here.
I'm just stating the facts.
Wait go to the next question.
Just
Okay.
It's about knife fights.
Well this one
is I think
like for me
and Liam
but I
directly would apply
have we ever
had this
like
this one's from Nick.
You have
I have
What have you
cosplayed?
I cosplayed as
I can't remember
it's been quite a few years
the brown haired guy
in the blue team
in Awendan 2
for the DS
Oh yeah
I can't remember his name
because it's super
Japanese.
Neku from the
World Ends With You
the year the
World Ends With You
came out
that was super fun
and Naoto
from Persona 4
Wow
Yeah
Of course
No it's good
I have cosplayed
and I intend to again
in the future
but it's been a few years now
Hey woolly
What did you cosplay as?
Okay
Here we go
Because you're not getting
away from this
Here we go
Let's start with woolly
as Naoto
Which happens
Shut the fuck up
Alright
I've done it
I've done it once
in my life
and I went as
Xavier Stone
from Guitar Hero 1
That's bullshit
You did it twice
You went as
Xavier Stone
from Guitar Hero
Yeah
and then you
went as fucking
Sky Captain
For Halloween
That's on me
That was on me
For Halloween
Shut the fuck up
I can back that up
He went that for Halloween
That was a Halloween costume
If that counts
and I dress up
See
I don't remember that
We'll just
I'm an idiot
We'll just shut the fuck up
because you were Rorschach
Rorschach
Rorschach
I dressed up as
Darkman
Yeah
You wanna throw
Halloween costumes
Pro tip to people
who are gonna dress up
Rorschach
Fucking
at night time
take the fucking mask off
or you're gonna break
everything in your pockets
from walking into shit
Yeah
Um
And then
you know
I'm just
I'm gonna get
a lot of people have been
asking this
so I'm just gonna
rattle it off
really quick
Tito
asks
Willie
why do you hate
deadly premonition
and it's just look
very simply
Cause you're an idiot
No
Cause you have no taste
because it's
it's kinda
it's just weird in a way
that I don't get
I don't get
like
whether I'm supposed to be
laughing with
or at it type of thing
both
and I mean
and I get that the
jank is deliberate
but I just feel
it's like it's not
original jank
or fake jank
It's an ugly game
with a great personality
if you're too shallow
to realize that
No look
it's just
David Lynch jank
right and if you
wanna get David Lynch
to do something
you can get him
to do a game
where you saw the
ps2 baby
or ps3 baby
yeah
and went
that's awesome
then you'll like
deadly premonition
but if you saw that
and went
oh what the fuck
then deadly premonition
is probably not for you
and I mean
and like
no more heroes
is weird in a
in a similar sort of way
with like jank
no no
no no
let me finish
let me finish
right
it has
weird things about it
it doesn't look
super great
and it feels kinda
like these things
they're cool fights
and deadly premonition
I'm just like
you fight that big
scary fat guy
you fuck this me
I'm not down with that
like you're laughing at it
I'm just like
whatever
like that's all
it doesn't appeal to the
so the answer is
that woolly has no sense of humor
the answer is
it doesn't appeal to me
and like
it should be at least
kinda cool
or have something
like
going for the beard
there was
you didn't play it
anyway
Matt you're
shaking
you're literally shaking
don't you know
that you have to
completely beat
a game to not
like it
don't you know
that you can't say bad
things about a game
unless you've completed
all the extra
hard difficulty modes
didn't platinum star ocean
for it
tough luck
bad opinion there
oh fuck
that's the best example
I don't like the discussion
we had
just the other day
about whatever
iRobot game
from SEGA
BUNNER DEMAND
a great game
that you hate
because it's kinda racist
I'm not going to defend that
when your black character
makes Coltrane
look like fucking
Nelson Mandela
there's a problem
I wish
moving along
I wish that Nelson Mandela
made Bow Tang
look like Coltrane
yeah
and that's
yeah
you know what
that's it
we're good
so guys
that's
yeah that's our Q&A
for the day man
we ran a bit over there
but we're alright
what's coming up on the channel Matt
what's coming up on the channel is that
we should
hopefully this week
if we're all free
start
our
next Let's Play
I told Willy about that
and he was like
what what
when was that
when did we decide
we were going to do that
and I said
well we did say it
a couple like
two months ago
but yeah
now it's going to happen
and now it's locked in
and you can't escape
you cannot escape
so again
that's coming September 1st
2nd
around there
and the other one
will come on the other day
probably
and
until then
one WrestleMania
per night
and probably
two more quick
looks at games
yeah we're going to do
look at weird shit

deadly premonition
hater

there's a whole lot of
rustling still to come
not really
no it's
