Starting point is 00:00:00 Today's show is brought to you by Audible. Please visit AudiblePodcast.com slash SBFC for your free audiobook download. Once again, guys, we just want to give a major thanks to AudiblePodcast.com slash SBFC. These guys, again, they sponsored us and they're helping out the show. It's a really cool site where you can check it out. You can get a free audiobook when you head on there and they have all kinds of cool stuff on there. Pat, you probably would know Richard Dawkins. I do. I've read several of his books.
Starting point is 00:00:38 I've read several of his books as well. That dude's really smart. That dude's super smart. That dude knows a lot. It's weird because you look at a book like The Selfish Gene and you're like, what's this about? It's about the mechanics of gene selection. This should be the most boring shit in the world and it was interesting enough for me to read a cover and cover. Yeah, totally. And so you've got the audiobook form here. Also, they have The God Delusion, which is another really good book from him, which gets into his views on...
Starting point is 00:01:05 It's an interesting read regardless. The God Delusion? That's a hell of a title. That's a title. And regardless of your stance on... It's as inflammatory as it sounds, but it's a good read regardless of your political or ideological stance. That dude has a knack for painting analogies that I don't think anyone else has, man. It's his core strength. Besides being super killer smart, he writes in a way that makes it feel effortless, but so few people can write on that level.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Yeah, yeah. While being one of the most profound and renowned dudes in this field, he writes for the layman and by choice, you gotta respect it. And they also got the Song of Fire and Ice series. If you like your Game of Thrones... I've heard about this series. I feel like it's not like you have like eight shirts in your room over there. That's not true. I have five. You should not care about the characters in that series or else.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Well, just don't get attached is what they say. But if you're interested in checking it out, you can check out the audiobooks as well. They've got The Best Names Ever, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast of Crows. Oh, come on. That's a great one. It's the best I can do. Storm of Swords is my favorite title, though. It's all really great. So if you want to check these out,
Starting point is 00:02:20 make sure you head over to audiblepodcast.com slash sbfc. Thanks, guys. This is the lair's entire get up. With the shirt on, with the bring back manwa sign. It's fucking amazing. I want to see that. Is it Salera of Astoria? Is that what it is?
Starting point is 00:02:50 Astora. Yeah. Bring Back Benwa is a bit of a movement at this point. People really latched onto that concept. When I was bringing the signs down and carrying them down, the girl said, I want to look at all your signs before you hold them up. Just in case. And I'm like, jeez, I really hope the Bring Back Benwa sign is face down.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Oh, shit, because me and Wally were late for going down. Yeah, exactly. So I was showing her the signs and she's like, what's a tiger driver? And I'm like, it's a wrestling move. And then she goes to the next one and she's like, whatever. And then she goes to the next one, Bring Back Benwa. And I'm just like, and she's like, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And I'm like, oh my god. Because security doesn't know, man. I feel like I just got away with murder. All security cares is that your wrestling sign just doesn't have just a picture of a dick on it. Exactly. Basically. Bring Back Benwa's okay, though.
Starting point is 00:03:38 That's basically just a picture of a dick on it. But it's a secret. Two and rustling person. That's the same as having a big dick. Almost. Yeah, as well. Hey guys, welcome to the podcast. This is episode five.
Starting point is 00:03:51 That was the best intro ever. If you guys think that intro sounded weirdly good, it's because Wally fucked it up and he edited out the original one. My editing magic means you will never know. It's so good. I can just tell people. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:04:05 But it doesn't matter if they don't know. Every time you make an edit, we tell everybody. Every time he does the intro, he says weird racist shit. Every time you go back in time to fix your mistake, you can just go back and make it even worse. So, hey guys, I'm Wally. Hey, Wally, how you doing? I'm Pat.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Nice to see you here, Johnny. My name's Matt. How you doing, Wally? I'm Liam. No, he doesn't. I don't know. What's the thing? It's anchorman D.
Starting point is 00:04:32 I don't know. I haven't seen anchorman in years, bud. Look at this kid over here. Gonna kick him out of the group. We gotta put him back on Moe Island. This is a watching anime. Shut up. Shut up, you guys.
Starting point is 00:04:45 How's Madoka? I don't care. We're gonna be covering so much shit. There's a lot of news that happened. I started archiving it from last time, and then the overlap from the week before, and then yesterday news exploded. It was too much.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Let's just get in with it. Let's start with the start and take it away. What have you been up to, Liam? What's going on with you? The Walking Dead. Nice. How far are you in, man? I finished the fourth episode.
Starting point is 00:05:18 That's pretty good. You should finish the fifth one. I'm planning on doing that tonight. It's great. It's really good. I had a tear-jerker moment for sure. I'm not gonna spoil it because there's people listening who haven't played it, I betcha.
Starting point is 00:05:31 But definitely a tear-jerker moment when some people died. I don't like that word tear-jerker. It's kind of negative. It's literally a little demon that goes up to your eyeball and starts yanking tears out of your face. I need these.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Otherwise, just plan. Still playing Killer is dead. It's been a slow week for me, to be honest. K-I-D. K-I-B. Yeah. Sunday without God that moment. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:05:58 It's good. Don't talk about that. Hey, man. Matt, you got it out of your system once. We don't need it every week, goddammit. No. There's a couple of topics we need every week. One of them is Platinum or Camea.
Starting point is 00:06:10 You know? And the other one, I don't know. Yeah, I get it. Only other thing I did was, of course, go to wrestling, which I've never been to a wrestling show before. That's a revive. And that was really fun. It's a lot better in person than not in person.
Starting point is 00:06:24 It's a lot better, but there's spots where it's actually a lot worse. You see things... You see things that we really, really... Oh, and things go right. It's way sick. That's awesome. I took a bunch of sick pictures.
Starting point is 00:06:38 You did. Some of the guys in the crowd were way too into it in a great way. Yeah, it just didn't go past the line of, please shut up. Yeah, exactly. Now, there's a guy that Willie and I spotted. The best.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Must have been an 80-year-old man at the show. He's the reason why we're there. He was the darkest mark ever. For his entire life. He was getting up and dancing and doing chicken shit and just screaming till all the veins in his head were popping. When that old guy was five years old, he saw Ric Flair Russell for the first time
Starting point is 00:07:13 at that old guy. He was like, he's like, get back in the ring. You're checking. Come on. Yeah, that guy. Super pissed. He made the show for me.
Starting point is 00:07:24 You could turn both ways and get equal amounts of entertainment. Absolutely. What's good, Matt? Aside from the big wrestling thing, I don't know, I've just been making videos and stuff, and I started reading Age of Ultron, which I just heard about. I'm halfway through Age of Ultron.
Starting point is 00:07:40 It's the craziest shit. Stuff that you tell me happens in the ultimates. This is that level where every hero is like, oh my god, this is the one. I get my response. But oh my god, this robot is such a dick. I can't believe it. I told you, Ultron is the best.
Starting point is 00:07:55 He's unstoppable. And they have to lie, cheat, and steal the medium. It gets to a point where they figure out a way to stop Ultron, and when Ultron, in turn, figures it out, he goes, oh my god, this is such bullshit. I can't believe you're beating me in this fashion. No, dude. That's the thing about Ultron is pure scumbag tactics
Starting point is 00:08:14 are the only way to win. That sounds really cool. I really want to read this now. And my thoughts on the wrestling, though, is that it's just kind of what I said before. It's like when something really awesome happens, when you're that close to the ring, it's like when you see the amount of spit
Starting point is 00:08:27 that each guy can have in their mouths to spit out during uppercuts or slams or whatever. It's incredibly impressive. It's really impressive. And I'm glad that all those... Well, you made the Tiger Driver sign. You'd like... You guys were busy talking,
Starting point is 00:08:43 but me and Liam were laying down on our stomachs on the floor with our markers. With your knees breaking back and forth. And Liam's like, we need to do this more often. Like just make crafts and stuff. And I was like, yeah, totally. It was strangely calming. It was really fun.
Starting point is 00:08:58 And so, yeah, I made most of the signs. You made the sign. And then I didn't know about that security guard stuff. That's so lucky. We got that out there. It was really fun, though, in hindsight. Bring the pipe cleaners next time. I know.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I've got macaroni. I've got sparkles. I've got that glitter glue in my opinion. I don't know about you guys, but if another event, a live event, with an actual pay-per-view or a show... Oh, absolutely. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:28 All the way. As long as we get seats like that. Seats for anyone who doesn't know we got seats in the second row. Like on the floor. Yeah, on the floor. Liam could have touched the wrestlers, but he chose not to.
Starting point is 00:09:39 No, no, I did. Who did you touch? I touched...what's his face? John Van Damme. You touched John Van Damme? A muscle from Brussels? Rob Van Damme. Rob Van Damme.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Dude, I'm not... You know I'm not into wrestling. I haven't watched wrestling in like eight years! Eight years ago, I was like... Super young. Super young guys. Fuck off. You touched him.
Starting point is 00:10:01 I touched him. I did touch him. You could have just said the guy that does the rolling shit. Matt, you know I want to impress you. I try my heart out. The only thing that I find weird about the fact that you didn't catch that
Starting point is 00:10:15 is that every 30 to seconds to a minute RVD would do the Rob Van Damme. It's like... He didn't have like 20 times. It was loud in the arena. I don't know. It's the best way. The guy whose special move name shares the same name
Starting point is 00:10:31 with Dudley. And really quickly... Rolling Thunder. Rolling Thunder. Really quickly. I was saying the path the other day is that I watched a little bit of TNA the other day just to be like
Starting point is 00:10:40 what is this again? Oh, okay. And I turned it off. The thing that even though we don't know who some of these wrestlers are, there's always some connection to the girl that we saw in Natalia is Jim The Night Heart's daughter.
Starting point is 00:10:52 And I just found this out. The guy that fought CM Punk, Curtis Axel is Mr. Perfect's son. Wow. Mr. Henning. His name is Joe Henning and he took Curtis as a tribute to Kurt Henning, his dad.
Starting point is 00:11:07 And Axel is the ax which was the name of his grandfather when his grandfather wrestled. There's a lot of dynasty wrestlers. So even though it's like I don't know who these guys are, there's some neat connection to the Attitude Era or around there.
Starting point is 00:11:20 And if anyone ever shows up and goes, yo, I'm Smoan, you're like, well, you just, you're related to the rock somehow. It's there. And there was a guy there that was related to the rock.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yeah. One of the shield is like the rock's like favorite baby cousin or some shit. Man. So what you up to? Man, not much. I started playing Last of Us again. Like that's where most of my playtime
Starting point is 00:11:41 just went. For reals this time. Where I was playing, I was playing Saints Row and I said, do you know what I really want to do and play instead of playing Saints Row 4? I really want to do a really nice,
Starting point is 00:11:51 calm, quiet play through of the Last of Us on hard. Excellent. And yo, that keeps way better if I am allowed to take more than 30 seconds to assess a stealth crew. But who implemented that restriction? It wasn't me.
Starting point is 00:12:05 It was me. I can't just go. Aside from that. It's like how dare people design games that are not made for let's play. I know. The nerve. Aside from that,
Starting point is 00:12:16 I went to the show. The show was awesome. We just talked about that. And probably the only thing of note is yesterday, I had a friend of mine that I haven't seen in a while. We had a bunch of drinks
Starting point is 00:12:25 and caught up to Attack on Titan. Nice. And we caught him up. No. Yeah, yeah, whatever. But that's why I need to be drunk. Right. And so there's something
Starting point is 00:12:35 about Attack on Titan's episode 18 through 22 while sloshed. That really, really adds to the, oh my God, a Keppley dissapearing. Yeah. I suggest anyone
Starting point is 00:12:51 who hasn't started watching that to catch up. Nice. It's real good. Yeah. Fuck, I need to see 22. 22 is so good. It's even better.
Starting point is 00:13:00 I was watching Breaking Bad. 22 has the other pay off. Okay. Yeah. All right. Sunday seemed to be a weird time for us because it's always like if you put a video on a Sunday,
Starting point is 00:13:11 someone says screw you. I was watching Breaking Bad. Now I don't know what I can watch. Yeah. Or when it's- I was watching Boardwalk. Or when it's- In the Thrones.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Or when it's Walking Dead. It's always- Yeah. Like guys and stuff on YouTube. The episode will be there forever. It's Sunday. Yeah. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:13:28 There's too much good shit. What about you, Willie? Man, what are you doing? Oh, I am- Dude, I am- Did you go to a wrestling show this weekend? I went to a wrestling show. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:13:36 I think I saw you there. Yeah, that was pretty cool. I got a belt. A little baby belt. No, I am honestly- A Rey Mysterio sized belt. It's so small. I am floating on cloud nine right now.
Starting point is 00:13:46 My heart is going doki doki. Because the guys- Well, I was mentioning to you guys. Okay, so we- Yeah. We- Calm down. Calm down.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I can't even know what it means. I can't handle the idea of Willie just sitting there and going doki doki. Willie is the one who always says doki doki. I know. My heart is making a sound. Willie's is making doki doki. Oh, that's mad. It might be my Kokoro.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Just fight through it. Oddly enough, mine is always going pa-dump pa-dump pa-dump. Sure. Just fight through it. Just say what you need to say. I was going to say- That's where the- That Liam is the one, the big American manly heartbeat.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Right. And Willie's got doki doki's up his head. Yeah, exactly. Oh, no. I was going to say that, like, the resolution of my PS3 problems- Oh, yeah. I fucking met the guy and he gave me my money back. Get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 00:14:38 He just handed me a wad of cash and went, yo, bro, I'm really sorry that happened. That's nuts because as soon as your PS3 broke, I said, did you buy that off a guy? You said yes. Yeah. I said, say goodbye to your fucking money. Exactly. And he laughed your ass off of it. Oh, he laughed my shit off.
Starting point is 00:14:53 12 minutes. So he- Not more than that. Also, he lets you keep the games. Yeah. Well, he straight up went, here's- Well, he gave you games, too? Well, I got games.
Starting point is 00:15:01 I got games with it. Like what? I bought LA Noir. I'm trying to do one to three. Let's just say games. Shit that I just never got around to. All right. And yeah, he brought the missing booklets and covers that I didn't have and handed them
Starting point is 00:15:17 to me and then went, okay, cool, so I'm going to try and see what I can do with this. But hey, really sorry this happened. Here's your cash back. If you know anyone else that needs to buy some games, bro. So I'm like, hey, really cool on you, man. That dude's a cool guy. Right? So I'm just feeling like major video game karma.
Starting point is 00:15:35 It's just like all your legal troubles around that arcade cabinet just resolved in the best possible way. I was going to say both times you should not have gotten anything back. And it went super good for you. And people said to you, you will not get anything back. Yeah. So I'm just emanating good video game karma at everybody through this microphone. So the rule of the story here is that we should smash all your shit.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Yeah. And it'll somehow all work out for you. Maybe not for you, though. Just hide under some coats. Let us smash the stuff. Yeah. It'll all work out. So yeah, that was my time, man.
Starting point is 00:16:09 That was pretty good. You guys also recently did a little interview. We did. We did that yesterday. How was that? I mean, two days ago. It was yesterday. No, it was two days ago.
Starting point is 00:16:20 It was two days ago. Yeah. It was really nice with Patricia and Marina who do like a local radio show from a university. And yeah, we had a nice time. And once we have more like, I don't know, maybe next year, maybe we'll go back once we have stuff happens on the channel or whatever we have more to talk about. Once we have our solid gold houses. Solid gold houses. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:43 We may come in soon. Here's what's cool. And my solid gold rocket car. Yeah. Solid gold toilet. So yesterday I got a message from Patricia's sister who was a friend of mine that I went to high school with that was like, hey, cool. It's a small world. It's a super small world.
Starting point is 00:16:57 You know, it's all in thanks for helping out my sister and stuff. And I was like, what? That's not why we did it though. No, of course not. We did it so we can insult Willie on air. Yeah. Yeah. You can blast me on air.
Starting point is 00:17:08 And you know what? That was tough because I walk in and they're like, you can't swear on the radio. And I say, this might be a problem. And guess what? Men totally swore. You totally swore. I swore, right? And no one noticed that I noticed.
Starting point is 00:17:20 I just, I didn't, because they said if you swear, never. Acknowledge it. Acknowledge it. And I did it. And I just kind of went, yeah. And then as it went on, like we went to commercial break and I was like, yeah, sorry about that swear. And I was like, when did you swear?
Starting point is 00:17:31 And I was like, I didn't, I didn't at all. Well, theoretically someone was on the dump button. Yeah. That would catch it on the 10 second door. Yeah. And then they asked me about what I think of your hair. Yeah. And like, you can hear me just struggle.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Yeah, I hear that. I hear that. It's tough. So you went on there to make fun of me. It's tough shit. And here's how I'm going to repay it. All right. I do.
Starting point is 00:17:50 I'm going to repay it by quoting a really well written, like I guess summary or post. From some guy on Tumblr. This responding to you guys. And I thought this was actually pretty cool. So hit us. This is your knowledge. Do it. Lord Funky Fist on Tumblr.
Starting point is 00:18:06 That's pretty good, man. Yeah. Kind of won. So it's a little bit of a read, but I'm just. Read the fucking thing. Listening to two best friends play on a funk Shui just further solidifies why I love them as less players. More because of what Pat says about how he's irritated when people don't finish a let's
Starting point is 00:18:22 play and how he doesn't like the whole face cam logo covers the portion of the screen thing because these these two things can be attributed to one thing. The let's player not caring about the game. I personally agree with the notion that let's play should be about the game and it comes first and you come second. Yeah. Matt and Pat are the rest of the best friends who are allowed and can sometimes overshadow the game.
Starting point is 00:18:41 But the one thing that balances it out, at least in their main channel LPs is that they care about what they're playing, whether it's a really bad game like Silent Hill Downpour Indigo Prophecy or a good game like no more heroes who are walking dead. They will go on into the game and show you why it's bad or why it's fantastic. Sometimes this is backed up with experiences they've had with the franchise or how it can be done better and they're just knowledgeable about games in general. Plus the fact that they take their time to edit whatever is necessary is a gigantic plus for me.
Starting point is 00:19:10 So way to just read like a manifesto about how awesome we are that doesn't make us totally look like fucking huge ego fogs. Exactly. That's what you get in retaliation like it's karma because I'm feeling good. But I didn't tell you to read that on the show. I know, but I thought it was really good and worth it. I thought it was a really good analysis. And this is coming off me talking about my solid gold toilet and stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Everyone's going to think I got big heads. I think after this you deserve a solid gold toilet. But no, it was just something that I read it and it struck me. It's true like fuck the gimmicks and the bullshit. Just do a proper let's play where it's about the game. Yeah, and then if you run out of stuff to talk about just talk about dead wrestlers. Exactly. We should do that.
Starting point is 00:19:55 We had a whole month devoted to that. It's a pretty good topic. So Sony came out yesterday with the hell of a show. Oh my god, did they ever come out swinging? This is weird because I never heard about this show before like this morning. I guess it's because I haven't been on Gaff in a couple of weeks. Yeah, that's it. The context is just like TGS is coming up and Sony was like pretty TGS.
Starting point is 00:20:17 We're going to have a little, they wanted to announce when the PS4 was coming out. So yeah, that was all it was. And that was the context. Now I've never been sold, I haven't been sold so hard in a long time on a piece of hardware until I saw the idea of the PS Vita TV. Like holy shit, that is exactly what I wanted so hard. More accurately when you said they came out swinging is they came out swinging Vitas everywhere. They said hey guys, here's a new Vita.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Also for you guys that hate the Vita, here's the Vita for you. Exactly. I fucking hate the Vita and this is the Vita I want, right? And not only am I buying one and I'm going to line up for it on day one. I'm going to buy one for my girlfriend. It's 90 bucks. I'm going to buy one for everybody and we're going to play all the good games. You remember how I said I wanted to buy one rather than 2DS?
Starting point is 00:21:02 Yeah. Yeah, not anymore. Yeah, there you go. And that's better. And you know what? He's going to remote play your cool games on your main system. Exactly. I have been asking for this for years.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Ever since I went and got a PSV GO just so I could hook it up to my TV and play with the DualShock because I fucking hate playing handhelds at home. I hate it. It's stupid. If I want to play Dissidia or Crisis Core or Daxter, whatever the fuck, on my television with a controller, just let me do it. I'll buy it. I'll buy everything you want me to buy.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Just let me do it. It takes me back to Mega Man Zero back when they had the Game Boy Player and I was like, I want to fucking play this with a controller. I don't want this other SP thing where my hands can't fit on it. And the Game Boy Player. Yeah. You can play to all the zeroes. To people who are hearing about this the first time, they have no idea what the fuck
Starting point is 00:21:52 we're talking about. Yes. The PSV to TV is a tiny little white box that looks like a portable hard drive, I guess. And it's basically a Vita slash PSV that you hook up on your television and you will hook up a PS3 or PS4 controller to it and you'll be able to play Vita, PSV games and do Netflix and all sorts of stuff. Exactly. It's like a little Apple TV box, but Sony and it plays Vita games.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Well, what it reminded me... Well, it is a Vita without a screen. Right. That's pretty much it. And it hooks up to a PSV controller. Yeah. And what it reminded me of was the Chromecast. The other thing that they announced the other day that was sold out in like 15 seconds.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Yeah. And it's literally an HDMI plug that goes in your TV and gives you all that cool stuff, but now you get Vita games as well. Which suddenly I'm like, yeah, I'm going to play that. But not even just like PSP games. PSP games. PS1 games. You want to play Madric Hunter X on your TV?
Starting point is 00:22:38 Exactly. No, you don't. Because Madric Hunter X is terrible. But do you want to, maybe? No. Sure. You know, or like whatever. It's like if you want to do the thing like me or it's like, okay, or my girlfriend,
Starting point is 00:22:47 it's like, oh, you want to play Dive Kick or Dragon's Crown? You play Dive Kick on your TV? Just play those games. Hell yeah. Dragon. The interesting thing is that they put up a compatibility list already. Like what works on it? Because there are some Vita games that use the touch screen all over the place and you're
Starting point is 00:23:01 like, that's probably not going to work. There are only two games of note that are not on that list. One is Virtue's Last Reward, which no shit because it's a point and click game that you touch the screen constantly. You'll never be able to adapt that. And the other is Gravity Rush, which is weird because it's the first party, they're going to patch it for sure. It's because of the gyros for Gravity Rush.
Starting point is 00:23:22 But the PS3 and PS4 controllers also have gyros. It doesn't support the PS4 controller and the PS3 gyros aren't as good. It will support the PS4 controller. Did that get confirmed? It did confirm it. It won't be in a launch because this thing is going to come out in November before the Asian PS4. But when that comes out, then it'll come out here and then it'll have PS4 controller for
Starting point is 00:23:39 it. I sincerely hope they do patch it because that game deserves to be played. It can't be that hard to jig it up to work with the Six Axes. Well the Six Axes isn't nearly as good as more modern gyroscopes. Yeah, but you know what, guess what? That shit doesn't have to be that good because the important thing is that the Golden is fucking supported and compatible. It's the game.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Yeah, I'm so excited from zero to a hundred right there. Now you got no excuse not to play the Golden shitface. You know what else looks cool? Deep down. Deep down. No. I thought that trailer was interesting. I liked it when it was in Assassin's Creed.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Well, hold on. It was the twist. Yeah. I didn't know about that. I didn't know about that. So that's the thing. It's Assassin's Dogma's Monster Hunting Creed Souls, right? It's all of them.
Starting point is 00:24:33 They literally took every big, weird franchise and combined them all into a single game. The one thing I had no idea about. It usually works out super well. What? Which usually works out super well. Dude, it looks really good. Don't be such a pessimist. It takes the worst parts that we all hate of Assassin's Creed and puts it into something
Starting point is 00:24:49 that's our favorite part of Assassin's Creed. That's one of my favorite bits. The future stuff. Yeah. You hate it. I love it. What are you talking about? What?
Starting point is 00:24:58 Really? I love the dumb future shit. It's funny. You love all that Desmond stuff in Assassin's Creed? No. I didn't like those levels, but I love the concept. Oh, yeah. The concept is awesome.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Oh, sure. I guess. Going back to the past digitally is awesome. And I loved it in one and two, but then they botched it on the other ones. Yeah. It's just that now those would put such a sour taste in my mouth that I don't know. I don't want to do that. Watch it out with some soul juice.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Well, for one, it's a different genre of game, and second, it's a different company entirely. It's not their second attempt at it, but I mean, for one thing, all possible connections to Dragon's Dogma completely fucking snuffed. Not necessarily. It could be like you're looking back into the past and the past is Dragon's Dogma. There's a good chance of flinks there. Because Capcom does really weird stuff at their worlds like that, so I wouldn't put
Starting point is 00:25:47 them past them, but it's totally not Dragon's Dogma too. Yeah. For sure. It looks really cool. But the fact that it's a rogue-like, like that's the weirdest part where it's all randomized dungeons. Okay, Matt, here's how I excite you. Take the concept of this game and how good it looks and just imagine all the Capcom fan
Starting point is 00:26:03 service characters and possibilities in that world. We talked about this a little bit when Dragon's Dogma come out. I just make a Berserk game now, don't do this other stuff. Just make a Berserk game. You know what? Even the systems that don't exist yet, I will buy those systems if I can get a Berserk game that looks like that. But like costumes of shadows over Mestara characters, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:26:26 Or just other random Cat on Teeth doing stuff that cool, but yeah, that'd be fair. Blanca's probably a boss. There's probably a couple monsters in that game that bear incredible similarities to Acreids from Lost Planet and Monsters from Monster Hunter. Giant Leo from Red Earth. Red Earth, yeah. You know, just throw him in. Or the dinosaur.
Starting point is 00:26:51 What was the dinosaur's name? A Houser. Houser. That's the best name for a dinosaur. And then the final boss is just Ingrid. Houser. Oh, God. Next Gen 10 ADP 60 frames per second.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Ingrid. The one thing from the old announcements last night where I was like, whoa, that is that new Grasshopper game. Lily. Burgana. Burgana. Grasshopper teamed with... No, not teamed.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Gungo's not published. Gungo's not published. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it could be... Sometimes. Gungo's really legit too. Like a lot of people say Gungo's...
Starting point is 00:27:22 I hope they bought shitless. But they're really legit. I hope they bought atlas. I hope they bought atlas. That would be the same sort of thing that you were talking about. Like a company that's like, do whatever. We don't really care. We bought you because we know that you can make money on your own.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Yeah. So that game, you know, it's just kind of a concept trailer. It looks like the weird, like, that nothing looks like that if you saw it. It looks really weird. I really like that, like, 3D anime look. Like Guilty Gear. Yeah, it looks kind of like Guilty Gear. I read an interview earlier today about it and like, Suda has apparently had this idea
Starting point is 00:27:50 for a long time and it's like a hybrid action game like Grasshopper normally does and like traditional RPG. Oh, okay. And like the elements are really closely meshed together. I'm getting interested. Yeah. I'm getting interested. This is right now at least a PS4 exclusive.
Starting point is 00:28:06 They did not confirm that in the interview. On NeoGavid said PS4 exclusive. I don't know how legit that is. In the interview, they asked like PS3 360 and they said like those are target platforms right now, but who knows. Really? That's vague. I just want to say that I'm going to put it out there as my generation long prediction
Starting point is 00:28:25 that there are no such things as PS4 or Xbox One exclusives. Well, by the barry ones that are paid for. Yeah, but the bigger the game and the better of the exclusives it would be. It would be down as an exclusive right now. Yeah, right now. Just like Titanfall. Titanfall. Temporary exclusives at best.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I just want to put out there that I love the idea of Grasshopper getting their shit together and like really like putting out lots of stuff and most of it's pretty cool. Yeah. Killers that's pretty cool. Killers that's pretty great. Have you started playing that by the way, will they have it on your hard drive? Dude, I lost my dragon's crown progress with my dead PS3. I just caught back up to it.
Starting point is 00:29:03 All right. Give me a break. On like PS4 exclusives though, like there are definitely going to be them from like smaller large developers. Like, but those will come to PC for sure. Not necessarily. No, not really. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Like they're Japanese, probably not. Yeah. Things like chaos, headstill, stage exclusives, you know, you know, there's going to be some. There's not going to be a ton, not as many as last gen, but there's going to be some anyway. Sorry, filthy casuals all the way. There's less and less exclusives as time goes on. Eventually, eventually the one console future won't be needed because every game will come
Starting point is 00:29:34 out on every platform. That's an alternate version of that. Of the one console future. But you know what? The developers are still not enjoying the like the porting all the time and the incompatibilities and the power discrepancies where it's like, oh, do we want a Wii U version? Like fuck. Soulcalibur 2, HD, they're like, fuck the Wii.
Starting point is 00:29:55 They just went, eh, we don't want to bother and it's like, why? There's no problem. You can do it. And they just went like, no, it would take more than 10 seconds. Because Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on the Wii U sold 3,000 units or something and it was still a brand new game. It was still a brand new game and there were tons of new Nintendo content and stuff. This is an HD remix, you know?
Starting point is 00:30:13 But, dude, HD remixes aren't free. No, they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not. And the GameCube version of Soulcalibur 2 sold the best by far. If they could even get the rights for Link. If they'd have to figure that shit out. That's not even a given. Like, we can't make that assumption. I agree.
Starting point is 00:30:28 I agree. Didn't we talk about last time that Nintendo and Namco were just like, yeah, just jack off each other all day. I don't see what the problem with corporate reach around. I guess it's like different, whatever, but the Soulcalibur team is literally the ones that are making Smash right now. Project Soul. What's the over, under, on A-Hot?
Starting point is 00:30:45 I don't think that's the case. It wasn't one of their fighting game team is making Smash. I'm pretty sure it was. All that sells back forever. Horado is like, yeah, I'm checking in on the team. The Tekken team is making Tekken Cross Street Fighter and Pokken right now, Tournament Fighters. And Soulcalibur team is making Soulcalibur Lost Destiny or whatever it's called. Something, man.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I just saw a list of people that their credits were. I worked on Soulcalibur too. Yeah, but it's Namco. They all worked all over the place. Oh, wait a minute. I'm going to tell you. But, and then, so Sony announced all of that, right? And then it was the time that, so that, that part.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Say the words. Get them out. It was the time that our favorite, like, Orange Baby would get up on stage and tell me about a game that I'm sure I'm never going to get in Yakuza Ishin. Or Ryuga, Goto Ryuga, Goto Shin, and, like, doing a long game, like, you know, CG trailer. And I'm like, oh, it looks really good. It looks really good. And Pat, how do you like the restoration period?
Starting point is 00:31:48 I like it a lot. It's great. Okay. So, and then, so like, the whole thing, like, okay, that's great. I wish, oh, okay, and then they never brought me back after that point. Because I was just like, oh, and then I go on Yuga today and people who are supposedly legitimate are saying that that game's totally coming out here in the West. And then Adam Boyce gets up on camera and says that the Geo-Korgie team, the, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:15 the team that Sony made and said, hey, you got, I, so I just want to realize, so at first I thought you meant they have a team of cordies that make games? That's awesome. No, they're geographic Korgies. All right. All right. No, it's a team that Sony put together as like kind of a hit squad, I guess, like, yo, you guys want stuff on PlayStation?
Starting point is 00:32:33 Yell at these dudes. They'll try and make it happen. And we'll do it. Well, and right now they're doing Borderlands 2 on Vita. Right. Which is weird that that was the first one that people like screamed about. At the same time, like it's a low cost thing and like it was demanded, so it makes sense. The important thing is that that happens.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Yeah, exactly. Right? And so then they, he was asked on camera, like, so what are the, you know, what are people asking for? He says, without a doubt, it's type zero, Final Fantasy, and Yakuza 5 for sure. So we're looking into it. And I always, when I, the fact that he would be willing to mention that publicly so people would know and something and get their hopes up, makes me think that Square Enix is gonna
Starting point is 00:33:13 just let Sony take type zero away, like they let Nintendo take bravely defaults. And then Sony's like, you know what, fuck you, we'll do the localization for five. If you want the winch, you can have her. I thought type zero was being investigated by someone. By Phil Rogers, right? Yeah, he was finding out more about it. He's finding out if Sony will just pay for it. If it's not a bad one.
Starting point is 00:33:43 It's a nice feather in your cap to say that your first party development studio is going out and getting niche titles for super fans. Yeah, absolutely. It's the nicest feather in your cap, to be honest, because then they become kind of like exclusive by proxy. Well, yeah, they were exclusives before. But I mean, like Borderlands, like if it were not like a multiplayer, if it were like a PC game or something, it would then become, you know, Sony exclusive as far as consoles
Starting point is 00:34:06 go, so. Yo, who is ready to use 3D maneuver gear on the 3DS? I am! I'm so ready! Only if the camera controls are good. But yeah, I'm ready only if it comes to America. Attack on Titan has been confirmed as a 3DS game being worked on right now. Now I saw that Chunsoft was making that, so I assumed it was a visual novel.
Starting point is 00:34:27 And what did I tell you? You told me some shit that I didn't listen to. The screen shots look good. No, is that bad if it's a visual novel or not? I want a Spider-Man style Attack on Titan game, for fuck's sakes. So like, the day that's got announced a month ago, you guys all visual novel. I doubt it. Fuck you, not a visual novel.
Starting point is 00:34:45 I'm glad to be wrong. I'm glad. I'm glad you're wrong. Yeah. The game has a story mode in which players can recreate the battles of the main lead Aaron and other humans against the points in the plot and whatever. It's going to have a really in-depth Chunsoft story, but there's going to be 3D action gameplay. Now, whatever that means, it's probably going to be really bad.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Wait, wait, I said that wrong, it's 3D maneuver action game. Yeah, yeah. That is a good way to explain 3D maneuver action. Tactical espionage action. I don't think it's going to have like a Chunsoft story, I don't know why you put it that way because the story is already written, like it's not a new thing. The level of detail in the story mode will go. But it's like working on it, not Chunsoft.
Starting point is 00:35:27 You can fill in blanks. What was blank doing when they were away or something? Yeah, sure. But it's nice to know that somebody knows. Someone trustworthy. Senpai notice. Attack on fight. I think it's a big deal that if that game comes out and does not have the same intro
Starting point is 00:35:44 when you turn the game on, then they totally fucked up. No, man. We're going to recreate it. Yeah, recreate it. They're going to spend half their budget on a song. Absolutely. One of that in general is just like back in the day, almost any anime as obscure as it is, we get something translated over here and now it's like unless you're one piece
Starting point is 00:36:03 or DBZ, unless you're that style of show and unless you start blowing the fuck up in America, nothing's ever going to come over here again. Because the bubble burst is what happened there. There was a point where it was like, oh, anime is cool, anime is cool, holy shit, anime is hot, import everything. And then by the time that happened, anime wasn't hot. But there's a legitimate chance Attack on Titan will come over. You know the most messed up thing is that the Berserk game on the Dreamcast came out
Starting point is 00:36:30 when no one knew what the fuck Berserk was. It came out like before it ever got translated in the manga or whatever, and then once the PS2 game got made, Berserk was hot. Berserk was hot. It was super hot. Fuck Sammy and Sega for not bringing that over. The most confusing part about that entire thing was the Dreamcast game that no one understood at the time here was very faithfully localized.
Starting point is 00:36:52 I thought Berserk was the game, and I thought they made it based off it at the start. Dude, that's weird. It's totally weird. Very interesting theory. It was only when the Black Goku gave me his Berserk games when I went to contest, I was like, oh, it's a red anime? That's awesome. Theblackgoku.com.
Starting point is 00:37:12 I don't know if that's over there. It's not. It can't be around anymore. Yeah. I don't want it to be. I wouldn't say give up hope on Attack on Titan. Danganronpa is getting localized. That's the weirdest, man.
Starting point is 00:37:24 But that's a really good game. Give Attack on Titan. Yeah, but the fact that it's got a name like Danganronpa and not something easily switched over like Ace Attorney. Yeah, they changed it to Trigger Happy Havoc. That's terrible. I think Danganronpa means like Evidence Bullet or something. Dude.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Oh man. Oh, it's so good. I know. Man. That's like, that's Psycho Break. Psycho? Yeah. That's evil with it.
Starting point is 00:37:48 So I did see that footage by the way. I did see that footage. You mumbled that. Evil Within in Japan. Yeah. It's Psycho Break. Psycho Break. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Evil Within in Japan is called Psycho Break. Let that sink in. God damn it. You break the Psycho. I know. Yeah. So there's new footage? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:05 There's like this from QuakeCon, I believe, right? I saw it. It was shown at the Sony Press Conference. Yeah. Last night. Oh, well there's a leak there. Like you weren't supposed to. Well, what was it exactly that was showing?
Starting point is 00:38:13 It was a proper trailer. Just a bit of a trailer. Oh, no. There's just like a full gameplay demo. Ooh. Yeah. And then you're walking around and investigating stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:21 And you go inside and you just start. Like it's just a mood center, but it looks really good. And I saw someone in the comments was like, wow, with this and Mighty No. 9, former Capcom employees doing things Capcom can't do anymore. The other cool thing is you got to see a couple kills in that video. Yeah. The dude comes out and he's chasing you around and you're like, yeah, okay. This looks like they had some RE left in them, but they didn't have the opportunity to get
Starting point is 00:38:46 out. Like it's I guess next year. It's forever away. It's done. Stop. Stop thinking about it. Yeah. And it'll be here by tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:38:56 And it'll be here before you know it. I guess so. So how about that, that character quiet, oh my God, why would you bring this up? All right. Fuck it. Let's do it. Let's go. It was thrown down.
Starting point is 00:39:13 All right. This was, this was, this was a topic. Bring us up to speed on the background. So what had happened was you can't dance forever. You can't dance forever. Just go. Do it. There has been some flak coming down on Kojima because they're looking at his character quiet,
Starting point is 00:39:27 the sniper from Metal Gear Solid 5 and they're saying this design is too sexist, her clothes and the way she's dressed and her appearance is just too misogynist and it's just all over the place. And then his translation was originally, this is a character I don't think can be cosplayed. Maybe she's too erotic, to which he then came out and corrected and said the translation is not erotic. No, you got it wrong. He wanted people to cosplay it and he made it erotic.
Starting point is 00:39:57 He specifically made her hotter. So the hot ladies, well he never said her, he said all Metal Gear characters. But didn't you want to correct the word erotic into sexy? It was the erotic, but you modeled the cosplay bit. Sorry, sorry. He wanted her cosplay. Yeah, he wanted, he wants cool, hot people to dress up like Metal Gear characters. Damn you Kojima.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Like he pretty much tweeted that at Omigipson, like at the time, right? Exactly, exactly. But no, that comes out and then Halo 4 designer David Ellis comes out and says, don't care if this gets me in trouble, this character design is disgusting, our industry should be better than this, the industry is full of man-babies. Please buy this gigantic titted Cortana action figure we put out. Cut to the picture of Cortana immediately. Halo 4 version too.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Believe his game. And now cut to him saying, please stop getting me in trouble, stop calling me a hypocrite. When you start your tweet with, I don't care if this gets me in trouble, guess what you're getting the fuck into. I like the new Gap Topics edit of that title, to pot to kettle, you are blue. Yeah, exactly. Clever. I honestly think it's just like, let's wait for the context on her character and we'll
Starting point is 00:41:10 see. Let's let we know something about the character. Exactly. Like for Killers, everyone was like, oh this is super sexist and it turned out, oh this is super sexist. But for this game, let's actually wait and see the game. It's probably super sexist. You know what?
Starting point is 00:41:27 There's a good chance it is, but let's actually wait and see. I just feel it's not out of character with what we've seen of the franchise so far. I don't find so. Why is this such a shocking thing? When you compare it to a character like Eva, who that was her character, she went to a sniper. A wolf. No, she went to a charm school.
Starting point is 00:41:45 She was supposed to get people distracted with how beautiful she is. She's supposed to be in a bikini. That was her character because she went to a school that taught you that. And again, you don't remind anybody and everybody about the beauty and the beast, man. Those entire segments and moments were way further than anything. And I never heard anything about those. Maybe there was people like that. No one talked about them because there was nothing to say other than, this is gross.
Starting point is 00:42:12 The white room section? Yeah. That's a unnecessary shit, right? I don't need to be there. And he's toning it down? But this should not be surprising. But David Ellis is moron. Go straight up.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Don't do that when you can directly point to your game. What's the best possible version of this where he didn't like what the team did to Cortana? He was a guy on that team. Well, guess what? Since you didn't come out and publicly shit-talk your own co-workers, you look like a total asshole now shit-talking somebody in a game that you don't know anything about. Well, no. Honestly, in his defense, just because he's got a character in his game that's similar
Starting point is 00:42:54 to that, he didn't design that character for starters, doesn't mean his comment's not invalid. No, of course not. No, of course not. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. But it makes him a hypocrite for not calling out his co-workers. Maybe he did. He didn't to us.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Maybe he didn't want to lose his job. Then he should. It's the difference. But you see the weirdness. But then you're pacing- There's a bit of weirdness, but you can't just divert it and say, oh, but he's a hypocrite whatever. But you know what, Liam?
Starting point is 00:43:21 People in glass houses should not throw stones, okay? But yeah, we can't just look at the glass house and say, stop it and avoid what. I totally can. I'm doing it right now. It's not so much his point as it is like the context of, yeah, dude, you are also a part of a project. You're part of the problem. Something is exactly like what you're pointing out here.
Starting point is 00:43:41 It's there. You can't say it's not there, you know? Yeah, but again, you're diverting from the issue, you know, which isn't that he's part of the problem. Not diverting. We're just kind of saying like, yeah, there's two things going on. You kind of have a point, but like William just said, you're also, why don't you call out your own, not call out your own company?
Starting point is 00:43:59 Why couldn't his tweet been like quiet, I'm not really cool with that character design. You know, we're going to make some changes to Cortana ourselves because we think, no, no, it's just like whatever, if anything or tits will be better next time. I think the problem... Because an AI needs those. I think part of the problem relies along his tone, tone of, I don't care, like I'm being brash, I'm going to do the good thing and the term disgusting as if like moral outrage. It's like, you can't show moral outrage to something when it's happening right next to
Starting point is 00:44:30 you in your office and you're keeping mum because you don't want to get your job or job. That being said, like you did say on the actual issue with quiet, we need to wait and see. Yeah, exactly. It's probably just as bad as it looks. Probably. But it might not be. So, yeah, so we'll wait.
Starting point is 00:44:46 We'll make fun of that later, like we did with R&Pi. Exactly. While I step over these eggshells, the Xbox One backward compatibility might be theoretically possible. Theoretically. And life goes on. Well, it's something that is actually kind of interesting because it's like we can throw this in there and they're coming out and saying more or less, I guess, if enough people...
Starting point is 00:45:12 I don't know. I don't buy it. I like... They did the same exact thing with the 360 to the Xbox and the compatibility for that was like almost nothing. It's not a lie. It's not a lie. I mean, they're just saying it's not a lie.
Starting point is 00:45:23 It's not a lie. I just don't buy it. I don't buy it. It's not a lie. If they were able to do the same Xbox original to 360 compatibility, I'll be overall happy with that. It wasn't perfect. It was missing some games.
Starting point is 00:45:37 It doesn't support Def Jam Fight for New York, right? So there's a couple of those. But if they at least try, I mean, that would be happy because then I have 160 games I can play. Yeah, you're right. If they try, I have no faith in their ability to, at the last second, say, hey, maybe we can do the backwards compatibility. In keeping with the idea of let's actually make this purchase easier for people instead
Starting point is 00:45:59 of more difficult, it might make the transition easier. It's definitely a nice thing. And use the infinite power of the time. At least he said that straight up, like we are working on something with Gakai or whatever. But it's way in the future. And part one of that solution is the Vita TV. Yeah, which is pretty solid. But gone.
Starting point is 00:46:20 I just don't really buy it. It's $500 right away, and it doesn't have the hardware in there for starters. So if they wanted to do hardware, which they're not doing, they would have to up the price or lower their profit margin, neither of which they want to do it. Well, then they're just going to do it through software. They can't emulate it. They can, but they can't emulate it badly. Yeah, they can do really poor emulation, which is, I'm just saying, buy it or not,
Starting point is 00:46:42 the prospect of that being included is actually a nice positive one. Oh, for sure. But like, Sony can say the same thing tomorrow, and it's just... Don't get your hopes up. That's all I'm saying. No, exactly. It's probably going to be like a mess or like, trivial or like a minor. Like, I have faith, but it's very little.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Pat has no faith. I have about 2% faith. You have little faith. Have any of you guys tried to sign up for a Titanfall beta? No. No, not. What is Titanfall? I'm not even...
Starting point is 00:47:11 Have you seen it? No. Well, if you tried to, then like, well, you didn't, so you're in luck. Because holy shit, they're all scams. Everything. Right. That's so good. Every single sign up, everything, everywhere.
Starting point is 00:47:28 When the CEO of your company says, dude, these are all scams, that's pretty bad. That's what blew me away, because you know there's frauds out there and whatnot, but the fucking respawn had to come out and go, everybody stop. Like, it's all fake. That's awesome. Man. That's sick. What a good thing to capitalize on.
Starting point is 00:47:48 On one hand, that's like, disgusting, because scamming and all that stuff is awful. But they earned the price. But like, whoever it was that thought of that was like, so keyed in to the zeitgeist, what's exactly how. Yeah. That's an industry insight. People are rabid, and they're not gonna think, they're just gonna throw their information into it.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Yeah. And then in gas, someone posted their receipt that they pre-ordered 25 when Waker HD with the Ganon figures to resell them on eBay. Which is now available for pre-order in Canada, by the way. But the fact that if you live in Canada to be there, then go for it. But the fact that the guy, like, you are the worst scumbag that fur, and he's proud of it. And the fact that these are actual limited, it's not like an EA limited edition that you
Starting point is 00:48:34 can get. It's like Metro Prime Trilogy. Yeah. And it's like, fuck this guy. We've all been in console lines. We've all seen the guy. Console lines are the best. Like, in front of us, or behind us.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Like, hey man, what games do you buy? I don't care. We'll flip it on eBay. Like, man, fuck you. A, fuck you. B, I can't believe you're in front of me in the line. At least make a cool YouTube video about you smashing it in front of everyone. Those guys are awesome.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Yeah. Yeah. That's the only time I'll forgive the people. Do you guys have any cool console lines stories? Did you guys do that much? Smash a console? No, no, no. Just get in line for a console.
Starting point is 00:49:10 No. I capped out on We Day, but I just capped out with my friends. I waited for MGS4 and I didn't even have a PS3 and I got there and I was like, oh, this line's going to be so big and there's just one massive guy. Like, he's, oh, you've put all of us together. Yes. He was bigger and he was wearing military fatigues everywhere and like a little beret and he was just like, with his arms crossed, I'm getting no gear.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Reporting for duty. Exactly. Woolly and I, was Billy there? Billy was there. Yeah, Woolly and I and Billy all took a road trip for like 300 miles out of our way so that we could get rock band day one. That was fucking stupid. It was a launch, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:49:49 It was a launch a month before it was going to be available in our region and we hit the road and just went down and cleaned house. Yeah. That was stupid. That was really dumb. Why? Because I got back home and some of my shit was broken. What?
Starting point is 00:50:09 That's crazy. Yeah. Wasn't it someone else too? Maybe Billy or someone else is? I think yours is. No, I traded my guitar with his guitar because he wanted to play drums more than I did and I wanted to play guitar more and then I sent it in the replacement for like three months later.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Oh my God, it sucked. Didn't you want to send someone call EA and say, what's the deal? Yeah. They're like, how did you get it that early? That's, I'm the one who called and they say, hey man, I have a slip of paper in this rock band thing. This is called this number if it's broken, right? And they're like, that's not for you.
Starting point is 00:50:38 I'm like, I fucking bought it. Yeah. Fuck you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you want me to do? I want you to wait a month and a half and the dead comes out there, call this number again and they'll send you a replacement. It was so fucking pissed off, man.
Starting point is 00:50:51 I waited like all night in a line for the week and I was sixth of five and they only had five units. So you killed someone, right? Fucking sucked. I managed to get out in the end, but like not from that. I can't believe you did that because when I camp out for consoles and stuff, I talked to the dudes beforehand like, dude, how many units do you have? You got to get the count.
Starting point is 00:51:10 I was pretty young. You got to get the count. I was pretty young at the time. Oh, right. You were like 12. Yeah. Well, not 12, but I was pretty young at the time. Oh, so you're doied and you just, god, wait, no, no, that was six years ago, so he was
Starting point is 00:51:20 like 14. I knew it was going to be limited. I knew it was going to be limited, but like, you know, I got there at two in the morning. Like I was still there as early as I could possibly get. Two in the morning is not early enough, man. It was as early as I could possibly get. You got to go 6 p.m. It was as early as I could possibly get there.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Well, it needs to be fucked off. You suck. And then for the Wii U, I was in line like way ahead, and it was the least satisfying console. Oh, it's the worst. Um. You've never seen it go nuts. Soon you're going to see it go totally nuts.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Dude, I'm going to be at the front of the line. In the new console lines. Yeah. Oh, they're going to be crazy. Well, for Vita, I was first in line because Nobby was in line, and for 3DS, I got it four days ahead of time. Yeah, those aren't proper consoles. I got it through a beloved friend of mine who worked at a place where he could get one
Starting point is 00:52:01 four days ahead of time. It was great. I'm waiting for shitty department stores to pull out a whole bunch of classic Xboxes and like call them Xbox One. Yeah. Arguing, you know, package. No way, man. Well, no way.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Those places will burn if they do that. Well, for context, when the Wii U is coming out, Zealors or Walmart put out a bundle of the Wii and the UDRAW tablet and called it the Wii UDRAW tablet, but UDRAW tablet, God, that was disgusting. It was gross. At the electronic store down the street, they still have like seven tablets that are just sitting there. Like, they just burn them at least.
Starting point is 00:52:39 They're worth more as far as I would. Yeah, just take them and throw them into Tony Hawk ride boxes and create like a temporal like fucking portal. So we got the UDRAW tablets on top of the Tony Ride skate. Tony Hawk's ride skateboard next to E.T. and Superman 64 in the one land fill that just kills you as soon as you get near it. If we get really smart really quickly, we can just make a robot made out of these things that's out of your slave or whatever.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Jesus. It's just got this Tony Hawk like skateboard as a head. Why was I programmed to feel pain? Who backed Go Song? Everybody? I didn't go song. Yeah, I did not actually. 50 bucks.
Starting point is 00:53:23 I put in... Poor thing. I was reminded that it existed when I was out of the house and I said, how long is there left and Matt told me three hours and he said, well shit, I'll buy it when it comes out. Well, guess what? It doesn't even matter because not only did they reach that goal immediately as we covered earlier, they closed it off at 54K.
Starting point is 00:53:45 And the guy nicely confirmed that he'd like to make a Wii U version even though he didn't reach the 60K to guarantee it. Exactly. That's the spirit. It might not happen on launch, but I'll do a version in coming this summer. Probably once he gets enough money. What about the Dreamcast version? Probably coming next month.
Starting point is 00:54:00 You have that copy of Gunlord. Look for it. I might, but I don't know. I don't know. Because you keep making me go on this roller coaster. There's a Hype Dreamcast game that's game possibly a port to the 3DS with a Wii U and it's called Gunlord. That's another Kickstarter actually.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Yeah, I know. That's what I was going for. Like, well, he's like, I might already have that game, the Dreamcast original. I'm not sure. I have a lot of Dreamcast shit to go through, man. Like, isn't the original version of that Neo Geo? It's Neo Geo and Dreamcast. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:32 You can just buy a gigantic slab to put into your Neo Geo. How much does this weigh? 40 pounds. Angry Gamer says they weigh 40 pounds. Yeah. AES cartridges, dude. Those are the things that were in the arcade machine. I just want to talk about JAMA again now.
Starting point is 00:54:47 JAMA? Yeah, man. That was a quick ABGN. He just did a Tiger Electronics handheld video. That was amazing because I own like a bunch of those Tiger Electronics games. Of course you do. I have a Double Dragon wristwatch when he played and I loved it. I played it during math class all the time.
Starting point is 00:55:03 That's awesome. The fuck is wrong with you? Anyway, I also had the Simon Quest one and the Simon Quest Tiger Electronics game is oddly enough better than the original Simon's Quests. I'm not sure if I agree with that. I think I do. I hate Tiger Electronics and I agree with that shit. But you had one though.
Starting point is 00:55:22 You had multiple. Everyone did. I had one. I also had a Simpsons one. And a WrestleMania one. What did you have? I don't remember. It was some bullshit.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Like, not even a licensed thing. It was just some pieces shit. I said, this is the worst thing ever how they get fooled into this. There was a DuckTales one. There was a DuckTales one. There was a Dug one and one of the buttons was Dug. I think it was just like speed up and Dug. What does the Dug button do?
Starting point is 00:55:48 In his video, he goes, look, there's the Full House Tiger Electronics game. Yeah, I fucking said that. And you play as like Michelle and all you do is high five people. Is Uncle Jesse in it? He's not. And then he cuts the footage. I don't give a fuck anymore. But then he's like, I'd rather play a Full House Tournament Fighter and cuts the footage
Starting point is 00:56:10 of Full House Tournament Fighter and Uncle Jesse takes grease out of his hair, throws it on the ground. It's like a frame trap. Man. Oh, man. Stop me if we've been over this before Bayonetta director ponders 3DS spin off. We did. We did.
Starting point is 00:56:29 We talked about this. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And I went nuts. Yeah. Totally nuts.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Well, warranty. He also wanted to do Okami. He like, I love to do an Okami sequel. And then someone came up to us and dude, you can't, you don't own that. But also, I do do my Bella Legosi and say, no one gives two fucks about the Okamiden. No one remembers the Okamiden came out. Unfortunately not. There's a sequel too.
Starting point is 00:56:53 I never played it. We don't know how it was. We don't know how it was. I own it. I've never played it. It's really not as good. Like the design, everything's just not up to par with the Okamiden. Is it shorter?
Starting point is 00:57:02 No. Well, yes. Okay. You know what? Objectively? Yes. How can it not be shorter? Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Because Okami's great and really long, so you're like, yeah. But Okami Den's not great and still kind of long. So it's like, yeah. But for a shorter time. But he's so cute. A little similar. But it's so cute though. It is.
Starting point is 00:57:23 You know what? I'll give them the one thing. It's cute. I use the gif of the little guy on top of Chibi Ami or whatever and there was just the Japanese son just shoots out of them. Oh, yeah. That's the best. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Uh, so the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure game predictably sells 425,000. They're going to patch it and they're going to make it good, right? Dude, that's unbelievable. They're going to patch it. That's amazing. I want to know, yeah, that is tremendous. At least that might mean... At least that might mean...
Starting point is 00:57:56 The fast approaching top PS3 seller was interesting. But that's not even remotely surprising because did you see that video of the girls screaming at the ad? Of course. Of course. I know, but it's just the fact that it cements the concept that the actual quality of your fight doesn't matter. Well, Lordy knew that.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Did you see for a 40 on 40 review and nobody knew? They did. Fumitsu gave it a 40. What? You didn't know that? What? You didn't know this? No.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Fumitsu gave it a 40 and everyone's like, I've got to buy it now. Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah. Fumitsu hasn't been legit for years. Ever since the Nintendogs. Ever since Nintendogs. Oh my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Wow. That's news to me. Fumitsu's totally payable. They didn't even give Monster Hunter a 40 out of 50. That's fucking bullshit. That's a legitimate review. That's a legit review. That's a legit review.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Because I'm still proud about the fact that Soul Calibur 1 got a 40 on 40. That's okay. That's okay. Because it's pre-Nintendogs. Oh man. That's bullshit. Now. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Okay. There's a reason it sold really well because it looks amazing and the reviews were golden. And if you're a JoJo fan, which is, which everybody's a JoJo fan. Did you see the footage where they put up trailer five of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? Yeah. Up on a wall in Shibuya and every time like a character shows up, you just hear this wave of shrieks and girls blue shit.
Starting point is 00:59:21 That's what I was talking about. Coming from the crowd. That's the same trailer video. It's unbelievable. That's the video I was talking about. It's the most horrifying thing ever. It's such a fun video to watch. Caesar.
Starting point is 00:59:30 You're not doing it good, Lee. I know. Shut up. You got to falsetto. There you go. That's a good one. Man. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Okay. At least this might mean like the Namco will make more JoJo games but not have Cyber Connect work on them. Hopefully. Hopefully. No. That doesn't make any sense. The sales were too good.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Don't get your hopes up. And the reviews are like, it's great. Yeah. Like it's just going to get a part two and maybe like someone will just step in and go guys, I can make this better. I just sincerely hope that for the plus version or whatever because Cyber Connect does that a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:07 That they, you know, they actually just go in there and fix up the comments. Like I said, it took them a while but eventually Nerudo started having no shit. Only took them like 11 years. Shit. But there is what's important. So maybe. They climb to this peak. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Cyber Connect is straight up dog shit, Sam's. But they can make good looking things. In all fairness. Yeah. Yeah. Their things look so they're really hot but they got no personality is what you're saying. That works for William. You know what else works for me?
Starting point is 01:00:35 They have you punching Leo. There's this really fucking sick parkour video. Alright. With Ner's edge themed like. Is this news? You're putting this in a news. This is not news. I thought it was.
Starting point is 01:00:49 This is so not news worthy. That's so weird is that it's on a channel where it's just some kid talking to the camera. Yeah. I don't get it. Like 90% of his videos are just vlogs. And then he's just like, I'm going to make this awesome Mirror's Edge parkour video. Yeah. And that's what I want it to feel like.
Starting point is 01:01:08 That to me should be like concept approval for what Mirror's Edge can become. Can I just ask? No. Pat, someone asked Pat because he would know this about as well as I do. This is not at least the hundredth video you've seen named Mirror's Edge parkour IRL or something to that effect. There's about a dozen. Oh really?
Starting point is 01:01:27 Yeah. They're very common. That's why we're so like this is not news worthy. Like oh look you saw another video of guys rotoscoping lightsabers and having fights. Yeah. Oh wow. Let's talk about that for 15 minutes. It was really cool though.
Starting point is 01:01:42 It was really cool. Fine. Okay well then let's talk about Kamiya. Yeah. Here's the headline. After telling Smash Brothers fans to fuck off, Hideki Kamiya says he'd be honored to have his characters in a Nintendo game. Of course.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Of course. Well he tells them to fuck off because he's pissed that they keep fucking annoying him. He's pissed but yeah. But he's like yeah I do want my characters in Smash Bros. Yeah. And like the whole thing is like oh he's rude initially to everyone on Twitter and then suddenly now that Nintendo's a part of like his buddy buddy relationship, he's changing his tone.
Starting point is 01:02:13 No. Oh guys you have to understand he's very direct into the point. He just made a tweet today saying I hate Wind Waker. Yeah. He made a tweet and he goes I hate Wind Waker, Triforce Quest is too long and they said oh no they fixed it in the HD re-release and he goes I'm pretty sure they did not. And then they retweeted no they did. It's a listed feature.
Starting point is 01:02:38 They cut it down to like you have to get three Triforce pieces rather than 16. And he goes oh but you'll just say I hate this game. Yeah. I'll fucking never change it to me. Guys you gotta use your own brain. Yeah. You're talking to Kamiya. Use your own brain.
Starting point is 01:02:56 He's just as brusque and lovable as the only one. It's brusque man come on. I'm starting to realize why Capcom let him go because he probably said this will suck. Did you read that thing where he keeps getting pulled into the head office like man you can't keep saying these things and he's like okay I'll stop and then he leaves and he's like already on his phone. My boss just told me to shut up so fuck all you people. Fuck my boss too.
Starting point is 01:03:17 I use Twitter too much. He tweets a lot. I believe it was. Yeah. And the Iwata asks he was like the tweet master or something they referred to him as. And then Iwata laughed after that. Yeah exactly. In brackets.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Iwata laughs. Laughs. Kamiya does not laugh back. They should have put that in brackets. Right. Yeah. So everyone's favorite Mr. Malinu came out to talk a little bit more about goddess. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Shit. I didn't even know about this. Yeah. Okay. So you saw the whole curiosity thing. I remember that. That scam. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:56 It was free. It was free. They paid to keep the servers on. It's still a scam. An expensive scam. Yeah. That's how bad he is at doing business and making decisions. He came out.
Starting point is 01:04:14 He gave some details on like basically what they're going to be doing with the guy, the one, the guy that won like as far as his royalties go and stuff like that. So he's saying that the royalties that are life changing are above 1% but something like perhaps not more than five. Yeah. Okay. So when goddess does like shit and this guy's like this wasn't life changing at all, you sent me a check for $200.
Starting point is 01:04:43 This is kind of what I'm getting at. Is it life changing really? It is. If the game doesn't perform. It is to Peter because he was involved in the process. No. The moment you click that video and it opens and you just see the thumbnail or you see him standing there.
Starting point is 01:05:00 You're like fucking Peter. He's in the middle of the cube. Of course he's in the middle. Don't you think it's still life changing if you woke up in the morning and you had to think like I can, I can do something and I'm going to get a check like that's different. No, you know what it is because he's got like the guy's supposed to have a royalty deal and he's supposed to have also like producer duties. That's what I just said.
Starting point is 01:05:19 But, but like what does producer duties mean on a game that Malinu is running because that seems like the kind of team that people go, Hey man, Peter, I got this great idea. What if we turn it into a frog that never ages? That's exactly what it is. Okay. That was too real. I'm talking about co-op. Oh, what if the tree learns about you and tells your friends.
Starting point is 01:05:43 No, Peter. No. And then none of your ideas get into the game. But they don't have producer duties. They get to play the god in the goddess. Like they get to literally like change the world. And like the rules at which the world works. If they want to make it rain all the fucking time, they're going to rain all the fucking time.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Here's the rules that you can change within this broader set of rules that we do not allow you to change because if you're an asshole, you could just ruin our game forever. And our source of revenue. I had imagined doing a producer duties for a Malinu game is telling them how brilliant he is and clapping slightly. Whenever a milestone is met. I, the god of gods, that was that I'm running the goddess project aside. I want to shut down the servers.
Starting point is 01:06:26 No, you know what? Definitely. You know what? You know what producer duties are on Malinu's game is you bring in your dog and let him pet him. But like, you know, like. I think he cancels your dog. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:38 You know, like we really don't need to keep kicking him while he's down. No, kick him harder. Can we elbow him instead? And like undermining the fact that like this week he got to his 66th update on Kickstarter. A lot of Kickstarter's don't even have regular updates. It's not good. The game looks great. It looks really good.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Liam. I have been alive a little longer than you and I've seen Malinu do a lot of games. Thank you. He is the unquestionable king of lofty promises and unfulfilled dreams. I can't. I can't get over the ridiculous level of just hyperbole this guy. It bombets out of his mouth. And it's the same news cycle every time he says, I've calmed down now.
Starting point is 01:07:23 I'm going to be more realistic. Excuse me while I show you this gameplay demo that will change your life. And it's like, you know what? Put the fucking game out. Make me look stupid. But until then, mock. And mock. And then the calm down story after that, since the stakes have been drawn so high, now has to be,
Starting point is 01:07:45 I think this game, this job is killing me. I feel like I might not make it. And it's like, how much higher do you have to set that next bar? This will change all lives. But look at the game and look at what he's promising. And they're pretty level so far. But no, you say it will change lives. I will change that one guy's life.
Starting point is 01:08:06 I don't believe that. Dude, just go read the wiki. I wish I had. I don't know it. But the game is just being a real pessimist on this game. I wish I had your naive optimism. It's just optimism. It's nothing to do with naive.
Starting point is 01:08:24 No, it's naive. But every example of the past is him not fulfilling what he's saying. When do I grow my fable tree? That's the one. In the past, the scale of this game has just increased. This is the first time where he's really been taken down in scale. And it's also kind of a failure because he's finally making the game that people have been screaming at him for a decade. Just make those again.
Starting point is 01:08:47 He's like, okay. He doesn't own those. He can't just go back and make black and white. You can just change a letter in the name and just do it. Black and white. This is basically just the same game to read. That's my boy! That's my boy! You just said you wanted to do that.
Starting point is 01:09:04 No, I said people wanted him to do that. And he said, okay, I give up. So what do you want him to do? I want him to make a good game and make me look stupid for doubting him. We'll say this. There's a hilarious video out there. Go see Peter Molyneux Reviews Far Apps. That is great.
Starting point is 01:09:19 He spends about eight minutes just reviewing the top three Far Apps on iPhone. Let's get off this topic. I'm sick of Molyneux, right? I'm sick of Liam's apologizing for Molyneux. Roll in right along. It's not much of a topic, but the only thing I guess we could just say is the Square Enix's Greenlit, the sequel to Gunslinger Stratos, which will make you and I happy. We can't play it.
Starting point is 01:09:43 We can't play it. We can't play it. But it looks so high. There's several thousand ways you could play it, but they won't do them. They won't port it. This is such a tragic case of a game where... Where you still can't beat Daigo. Daigo officially said he's playing this.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Daigo's playing this game. Yeah, I know. Yeah. And it looks really hype. It looks like Guns the Duel put into an arcade thing with flying and jumping and... But it doesn't play like Guns the Duel at all. No, it plays like a hyperaction gunner. And it looks so cool.
Starting point is 01:10:16 And I just wish somebody would just say take a Wiimote. It wouldn't be that hard. Take a move. No, it's super hard. It's a bit different, but like... No, Molyneux, it's super hard. You can't. No.
Starting point is 01:10:27 No. You know what? You know how hard it would be? It would take more than like five guys to port it. And we need those five guys making sure no one accidentally ports type zero when we're not looking. The main reason they're not doing it is because they have a bunch of magnet sensors on the guns, and they literally stick together in a bunch of different ways. Yeah, in a way.
Starting point is 01:10:46 And it uses figurations. The fun is how you have to hold them differently, and they stick together and change type and stuff. And like that, you really can't replicate with those devices. But you can still retool the game to work a little bit. You lose all the time. It also comes down to a Japanese and the company not wanting to take a risk on something they don't like. Okay, here's the thing. It uses the gun con to arcade system, which is really expensive and particular for this thing.
Starting point is 01:11:10 And it's made a ton of money for them. But it's just porting it. They have to go through all kinds of logistics that they wouldn't want to think about. That PS3 gun con bundle thing they did did not pan out. One of the other things that I think a lot of people also forget is like, you know, a lot of people cry for exclusives. I'm like, arcade people cry for exclusives too. We just don't see it because we're not in Japan.
Starting point is 01:11:31 There's no arcade people anymore. Dude, you don't know what you're talking about. There are super huge arcade nerves in Japan. No. I said here. Here. Or in Europe. I literally just said, you just don't know it.
Starting point is 01:11:43 Okay, okay. But like, in Japan, there are super huge arcade nerds pining for these things. Who cares about them? Let's just be happy that they're fine with it. I mean, I will say this. No! I love the idea. I love the prospect of like,
Starting point is 01:11:54 arcades and coins still making money somewhere in the world. Exactly. That's nice to know. In Japan, an arcade closes every week and another one opens. Yeah. Like, that's how it still works. I'm just super butt hurt about communities like this one where they're like, this is viewed as a negative stain on our society or whatever you want to call it.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Or arcades? Yeah. They're like, you can't open new ones because it's a bad influential hangout for teenagers. And you'll go broke. Whoa, man. It's not a good financial move at all. Unless you're a movie theater. There was some article a few weeks ago about a guy in Los Angeles that's like,
Starting point is 01:12:27 I'm going to make a bar arcade. A bar arcade? A bar arcade. And he's like, no, like order drinks or not like a bar bar, like order drinks, there's music or whatever, arcades are everywhere. And that's the thing. And he goes, all my friends said you were the dumbest businessman ever. That's going to flop super hard.
Starting point is 01:12:44 It's not out, like it hasn't been made yet, but he's like, no one goes to arcades anymore. But it's like, but I want to try and see if this is the type of thing that could bring like, you know, customers in. Arcades are a big thing now. Like there's a lot of them around the world. I didn't know that. Here? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:00 There's one in the city we live in that works pretty well. And there's a bunch on the internet. There's a big gaff thread about it the other day and people listed 40. It's a thing that's popping up now where it works, but it takes a lot of time and investment to get it. Oh, absolutely. But like, yes, it totally is. It totally is.
Starting point is 01:13:15 And I'm really happy that the one that we have locally has like been getting its likes. Oh yeah, there's the place. The place. Oh, my friend fucking started this thing and he put together homemade arcade machines and a bar. I said, fuck it, come hang out. I just forgot about it because the only time I ever like to go there is when it's closed. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:13:34 You just want to look through the window? No, when he would open it up and we just go in there when it was closed. It's the only place in town where you can go over and play AVP on an arcade cabinet right now. Or killer. It's still unclear whether that was, whether it was an arcade cabinet. We don't know what we saw. That's it's allure.
Starting point is 01:13:53 The important thing is that it works. Yeah, the important thing that it works. You know what else is in arcades? What? As we sleek, as we move right into FGC news. As we sleek, sleekly slide into the FGC news. What's in arcades right now, Willie? Guilty Gear Excerd.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Sign. Sign. And the biggest news that they just confirmed is Axl and fucking Eno. Yeah. Axl. You'll recall that when the first trailer for Guilty Gear came out, I was like eh, I still don't really like the art style. There's something off about it, but that, that new trailer made me super hyped.
Starting point is 01:14:24 Just because I like Axl and Eno so much. It's Eno where I know. I think, I think it's weird because I, my favorite character is the one that's had the most dramatic design overhaul, my favorite character is Potemkin. Does it look anything like him? He looks, he looks nothing like the old character. And I'm like, oh, I'm on board with this new one. Why does he look more like Potemkin now than he did originally?
Starting point is 01:14:45 You know what I mean? I don't know. I like that. I like that. And so it's like, if I can go, all right, yeah, I'm on board with this, then anybody bitching about like, Millie is orange now. Shut up. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:14:58 I'm really happy. I had no changes done to my favorite, but like, well, there's only two. Oh man, Bridget. No. Is Bridget even announced? Yeah. No. No.
Starting point is 01:15:10 Bridget's announced in our hearts. Yeah. Because Bridget's the most popular Guilty Gear character. It's so sad. My favorite's Chip Xenoph. Oh. Well, actually, like, I'd say my favorite male is also Chip. Chip's great.
Starting point is 01:15:21 Dude, cocaine ninja. Yeah. Just put those words on paper. Hey, do you know that he's president of the United States? What? You didn't know that? No. In Guilty Gear, in the story, he became the president of the United States.
Starting point is 01:15:35 But not when he's Friday. Like, he's not the president of the United States. No, no, he's on his off days. Fuck. Yeah. Man, he won up Tag R for sure. Guys, I'm really excited. I'm really hyped.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Just, Bikin. Just, just, just, just be in there. Fuckin' in there. DLC. Do it. Just do it. Please. If you're seeing characters, like, I need an axle get in.
Starting point is 01:15:57 Yeah, exactly. I need it. I know, but there's always that fear that maybe no. No. Until it's there. No, Bikin's got lots of, lots of girly fan art. So I'm sure she'll be there. I'm sure she's popular.
Starting point is 01:16:09 Yeah. Bikin was a secret character in the first Guilty Gear. That's true. That's true. I forgot about that. She's a fucking badass in the game. I can do without Dizzy. I'm not a Dizzy fan.
Starting point is 01:16:19 Guess what? Dizzy's number three in popularity. Dizzy's are the biggest popular piece. Here's the top three. Here's the top three. I always died in her in the arcade. I can do without the air testament, but whatever. Here's the top three Guilty Gear characters as voted by Japanese Guilty Gear fans.
Starting point is 01:16:33 Yeah. Bridget with almost 42% of them. Then May, then Dizzy. They're guaranteed. It's not going away, man. The only reason they put May in first is that they have a big reveal trailer with Bridget. Is Slayer the last? Slayer's one of the least popular.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Here's the problem. The other guy that I really like that's just not going to fucking happen in a million years is Cliff. He's not coming. No, Cliff's the character they always add in the re-release. Right, right, right. That's true. What's the one that's really sick and he's kind of dragging like a bit? And he's blue and green and he's armored up?
Starting point is 01:17:06 Leo Pauldin? No. He's one of the... No. What? No, really no. Rubber guy? Are you thinking about Overture?
Starting point is 01:17:14 No. Guilty Gear? Yes. I'm sorry. I'm just making sure. I don't know what you're describing. Justice? I wish I knew his fucking name.
Starting point is 01:17:22 The last boss. You know what? I've got my Vita over there. I can crack it out. Describe what it looks like. What do they look like? I don't remember what he looks like. Let's look at that point.
Starting point is 01:17:30 You don't remember what the character looks like? Blue and white? Venom? Blue and green or white or some shit and he's almost like dragon-like? Yeah, it's Justice. Justice. Yeah. The final boss of Guilty Gear.
Starting point is 01:17:41 And it's a girl. It's a lady. I don't fucking care. I play Justice mode. Justice will be in... Can you play Arcade mode? Justice will be in Unlockable Character in Guilty Gear XR'd Sign 2. I really hope so because Justice is pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:17:55 The Mecha, basically. Yeah, exactly. So you don't put Justice in the first one because Justice is basically just a dizzy remix. Yeah. Oh man, the Ava colors. Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. And you know they know because they keep putting those into the game. Deliverately.
Starting point is 01:18:10 There's Gundam colors and there's Ava colors. Oh, it's so good. Here's what's interesting. So Eventhubs, the fighting game website, also took a poll on who people think the fifth character in Ultra Street Fighter IV is going to be. I've been obsessed about that because since we did our Final Fight III playthrough, everyone's like, yeah, Call Man. It's getting me.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Call Man or Dean? Oh man. So what were our votes again? I still said Gohibiki. You said Gohibiki. I was saying either King Cobra or I really would like some kind of… It's not going to be King Cobra. Cool, maybe…
Starting point is 01:18:48 I sent someone from Saturn in at Slam Masters. And me, I'm going to go with the really depressing, cynical answer that I hope isn't true and say Gotetsu. Yeah. Because it's likely. Yeah. It's not even what you want, it's just likely. Oh, well I want to…
Starting point is 01:19:02 And there's not a lot of work here I can do. What? I want Q's dad. Wow. If he has one? Yeah. Fun. I want Makoto's dad.
Starting point is 01:19:12 Or I want… No, you want Makoto's younger sister. We know. We want Tom. We want Tom. We want Tom. You know what? Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 01:19:20 I want Tom in the game. Tom, absolutely. You know what? Remember when this trailer for the Ultra Street Fighter IV came out and there were these really good fakes of Alex being the other character? It's like maybe that didn't come from nowhere, maybe they heard like someone heard the name and the character's never been in a game before. But no, but you remember I showed you these faces, I showed you these pictures, remember?
Starting point is 01:19:38 And we freaked out and then it was like no, they're not real. And then the trailer came out and they used the exact same format for the showing off the characters. Yeah, because they always do. Well that just means that the person that made the… But like this format wasn't how they did it in the last Street Fighter update. But that just means that the person that made the fake just saw the trailer earlier than other people.
Starting point is 01:19:58 There's probably somebody in cast off. Who's probably combo-fee messing with us. Like I don't know, Alex might still be a contender. Not when they said he's never been in a Street Fighter game before. No, I know, but it's like I want to believe and I'm going to keep believing because I want you to be true. You're completely full of shit today. You say I know they've never been in a Street Fighter game but I want it to be Alex.
Starting point is 01:20:19 But how else would the guy know to use that exact format? Because he saw it or he just… Yes. He took a shot. He took a stab at it. This isn't magic. Like it's not going to be Alex, but I want it to be Alex. Really, it's a nice mock-up.
Starting point is 01:20:33 But dude, they said he's never been in a game and Alex has been in three. No, I know, but it's just like… He's been in more than three. He's been in more than three. I wasn't even counting like the other versions of Street Fighter games. And Capcom fighting all-stars. Like again, I admit it's probably wrong, but you saw it. It looks really identical to the other ones.
Starting point is 01:20:55 It's not just some… It's not probably wrong. It's totally wrong. I remember… I think it's a stretch. I remember I think Super was someone had a screenshot of Ken doing a flaming SRK to someone and people found the outline. They were like, it's Alex. It's Alex into the fire because these are the straps of his things.
Starting point is 01:21:13 And it's like, no, it was like fucking a gun or something. But it was a nice analysis. So this list of votes, actually, interestingly. Part eight was Senzo from Street Fighter Assassin's Fist. Moving on. Yeah, exactly. The live-action weird thing. Is that an option of Vent Hubs that you could go for?
Starting point is 01:21:38 That was available because they just threw a whole bunch of characters. What about Solada? Oh, no, wait. He's been in a game. I would flip my shit if it was fucking Solada. They brought him back. That was so fun. What if it was Esther from the cartoon?
Starting point is 01:21:51 Seven. Seven. And this is something I didn't even think of. But I like it. Zeku. Guy's Master. That's a pretty good one. Big gray hair.
Starting point is 01:22:01 He's in some Mennies and stuff. And he also wears sneakers. Yeah. Old man in fucking... He's got these weird button chops. He looks really badass. Yeah. Six is Sayaka, Gokin's niece.
Starting point is 01:22:14 Yeah. Oh my... Yeah. Oh, I thought that was Fukia. No. Sayaka. The girl from Street Fighter Alpha Generations that hangs around with Ryu, but now her name's Fuku.
Starting point is 01:22:26 Moving on. The ghost army is actually the best. Absolutely. It's a playable character. Number five is, in fact, King Cobra. Mm-hmm. And I am so hyped that people remember him. No one knows.
Starting point is 01:22:38 Dude, it's gonna be more Zubaz, and it'll be likely it'll be King Cobra. No, I know. I know. What if it's Zubaz? Could you imagine? Zubaz? I don't know where. I wouldn't be able to handle it.
Starting point is 01:22:48 No, me neither. I don't know where. I would just fucking commit ritual suicide. I don't know why. It's never getting better than this. We're at the top. It's over. Zubaz had four games in one year.
Starting point is 01:23:00 Number four is Evil Ken, and I'm like, you're an idiot. That should be Violet Ken. It should be Violet Ken. I know. And even then, it's a bad vote. I like Violet Ken. And he's been in the Street Fighter games using Capcom. Number three is Gohibiki.
Starting point is 01:23:14 That's a pretty big contender. I'd be super happy with Gohibiki. Yeah. Gohibiki's awesome. Which version, though? Are we talking the one that's just a damn clone? Are we talking the one that actually looks a bit like... I'm talking about the one that was in the Chun-Li comic.
Starting point is 01:23:26 The comic. Yeah. The one as he gets killed. The one that takes Sagat's eye. Yes. And he's got the miss, the mustache, and the ugly Tengu face mask to make fun of King of Fighters and stuff. It looks good.
Starting point is 01:23:40 I like that. But he was also a Muay Thai fighter. Yeah. Number two is Gotetsu. Yeah. Let's face it. It's probably the most likely pick, and that's sad. And they're saying he's not on people's radar, but guys, he's actually very much on the
Starting point is 01:23:53 radar. In the middle. And in a very unhyped thing, number one is someone else. Someone else. Those are people voting for all these votes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:04 Someone's just ready to be like... So Alex wasn't even a choice? No, because he's been in a game before. How many times do we have to go over that? No, I mean, like, I didn't know how this list was put together. It was just like every single possible... According to the criteria. All right.
Starting point is 01:24:17 Number one should have been Skullomania. Oh! He's been in a street fight. No, never a real one. Never a real one. Yeah, never a real one. It should be Volcano Rosso then. Or Crackerjack.
Starting point is 01:24:27 Yeah. Man, fuck those guys. Skullomania. Skullomania forever, though. We could just list off the other ones for fun, but fuck everything. Skullomania is the best. No, I like D-Dark the best. Doctor in Dark.
Starting point is 01:24:37 Doctor in Dark. You have to say the whole thing. Explosive. Yeah. In Pizzicato Poutois. Oh, man. So what's going on with the anime and movie news? I'll tell you what's going on.
Starting point is 01:24:52 That RoboCop reaction list. Kind of everyone was a little quiet. It's not. I think that we might... It looks all right. I think it looks bad. It looks soulless. I think it looks...
Starting point is 01:25:05 Like most remakes. I think it's going to be fine. It's not going to be amazing, but I'm not expecting much. Here's the thing. How did you get that cast? That script must be decent. Something? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:17 Why would Gary Oldman be like, yeah, I'll do this after... Sam Jack will do whatever. But the rest... And then you watch the trailer and there's the line where it's this young science lady going, there's some way he's overriding the cyst and like, fuck off, I'm done. I'm out as soon as I heard that. But that's exactly what I expect, though. You have to understand that I'm looking at this like you're remaking RoboCop, which was
Starting point is 01:25:41 not the smartest movie to begin with. No, it was the smartest movie. Oh my god. No, I watched these documentaries about RoboCop, everyone that worked on it except for like the director and the cast. But all the suits were like, this is the dumbest. We're making a movie called RoboCop. And also anyone...
Starting point is 01:25:56 I feel like a lot of the people that are like, oh my god, what the fuck, this stupid bullshit. It's like, have you guys seen part three? Have you guys seen that nothing will be as worse as part three? Has anyone seen the special that was made for TV? Because you wouldn't be all mad and butthurt if you saw that. I saw that. I saw that. But that was the worst.
Starting point is 01:26:15 There were two RoboCops. There were two RoboCops fighting each other. There's no pride left to uphold, guys. It's okay. Let it go. It's not about pride. I think Pat's dead on. It's just soulless.
Starting point is 01:26:26 Like, the first RoboCops had that camp factor. This one doesn't. This one just doesn't look great. It just doesn't even look good. So that line I said, the system thing, that's where I checked out. But the moment that I became incredibly wary is like, how does Murphy turn into RoboCop? Does he get shot up by a bunch of thugs in one of the most brutal, like, on-scene executions ever on film? No, he gets burned in a car explosion.
Starting point is 01:26:50 Well, Team PG-13 did that. I don't know if you could tell by the sick Ed 209 shirt that I'm wearing. I'm a big fan of Ed 209. Yeah. And if he gets blown up by a car explosion, there's no way in fucking hell we're going to get the best scene in RoboCop remade, which is the scene where Ed 209 kills that dude in the boardroom. There's no way.
Starting point is 01:27:12 That scene is so gratuitous. It is so gory. It's over the top. And it's the best thing in that movie. And you're not even going to get a little hint of that shit. Here's the thing. That's because RoboCop is a product of the 80s, and it actually should stay like that. If they made like a 90s, whatever, what year is this, 2013?
Starting point is 01:27:30 If they made another version of RoboCop, it's like, I'd rather you do something more different and do it well than do it like they did it before, but do it shitty. They show you the silver suit, and then they go, all right, we're going to make it all tactical. And they show you the black one, and you're like, well, some idiot would do that. I like the fact that they at least did that. Maybe he's had the silver suit for a little bit. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:27:54 He's got the bike there. I don't like the fact that he has a human hand. Yeah. No, so he can touch his son and wife and be like, I love you. Sure. Unlike a robot. Yeah. Unlike a RoboCop.
Starting point is 01:28:05 Terminator salvation. I just feel like someone walked into the boardroom and said, like, we're going to modern. We're going to make it modern. And then someone else walked into the boardroom and said, you had 15 seconds to comply. Liam, that's exactly what happened. That's what every remake ever has been like. We need to do this because it was popular. Let's make it more modern.
Starting point is 01:28:22 No, I know. And that's just what sucks. I kind of think that it could look worse. Oh, it could look way worse. It could look infinitely worse. Like at the very least, there's going to be a couple of cool scenes where he murders a bunch of robots. And there's going to be at least a gunfight with Ed 209.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Yeah. It's super bullshit that it's PG-13. But you know what? There's no way it would not be. It's impossible in a million years that it would never, not the way movies start. It should be NC-17. It should be all the way over. Like, I want you to go back and find me, like, besides the awesome shit we love, Ray Redemption
Starting point is 01:28:54 and whatever, like a big thing that's hit that's not been PG-13. But also, there's too much of an audience that gets cut out and they're just like, fuck it, the money's not worth losing. So here's what we got to do. To get rid of guys. Here's what we got to do. Okay, we got to convince everyone to stop having kids. And then in 20 years, there will be nobody who can watch, like, PG-13 movies and can't
Starting point is 01:29:17 watch R-rated movies. Are you limiting that? Because that's all the old. And then we'll start getting good Robocop movies again. Are you saying you want to see a Robocop movie so bad you want to eliminate all children? I'm saying that I want good Robocop so bad that I am going to willingly subject myself to the children of men level of dystopia. And Matt, can we not agree that, like, we saw a recently PG-13 movie that's actually not
Starting point is 01:29:45 that bad, World War Z, managed to not be terrible for training? Yeah, we all kind of agree that that movie kind of not was a disaster. Expectations were fucking... It should have been a disaster. And it was PG-13. And it worked out. You can do it. But for somebody like Robocop, that's even harder.
Starting point is 01:30:03 Speaking of children of men in it, Gravity is just cleaning up all over the place. I am super excited for this. What's that movie about? Gravity is that movie about... It's about Sparse. It's about space and the George Clooney's and the Central Clooney's. Who plays me? Why does he play you?
Starting point is 01:30:23 His character name is almost exactly like my name. Oh, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Matt Kowalski! You guys are idiots! It's fine. It's because it's spelt incorrectly and it's not the same way. Yeah, that's pretty funny.
Starting point is 01:30:40 So it's fine. But, like, Kowalski is also what I'd let people call me when they couldn't figure out how to say my last name. I still call you Kowalski, buddy. That's fine. And then when I tell them, oh, you've been saying it wrong for years. I'm like, why didn't you tell me? And I'd be like, ha, ha, ha.
Starting point is 01:30:56 So, yeah, Gravity, I think I talked to you about this. I was like, when nothing was announced or shown, it's a space movie with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. I was like, yeah, well, I'll not see that. Yeah, when I heard that, I thought... Because that sounds like the most uninteresting thing I've heard. I thought it would be like a space romantic comedy or something. A rom-com.
Starting point is 01:31:14 Dude, all you need to know is director of Children of Men. No, all I need to know is the whole thing. How much do you like Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Ascabance? You're such a huge fan. Oh, fuck off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Double standards. Double standards.
Starting point is 01:31:26 You know what? It was all right. It was all right. You know what? The best one was. I didn't... Of course, I saw some of the Harry Potter movies on all of them. That wasn't bad.
Starting point is 01:31:34 But Children of Men is my favorite movie. So this, I'm like, I trust more than RoboCop. I trust them almost blindly. Almost blindly. And I'm really glad to hear that despite everyone's hemming and hawing that right now, everyone that walks out of this goes like, yeah, he did it again. Right. Really quickly about movie news.
Starting point is 01:31:54 I saw that Riddick was the top movie this weekend. It made something like $16 million. And usually, if you're the top movie and you made $16 million, that was a slow fucking week. But the thing about Riddick is why I brought it up is that Vin Diesel took a massive payment cut to get the movie to be rated. Oh. Thanks, Vin Diesel. Thanks, Vin Diesel.
Starting point is 01:32:17 I respect that, man. Keep playing D&D in your house. I didn't. You'll see it, but I appreciate the thought. I'll go see it. Fuck you. He's got fast and furious money. Like, yeah, but he loves Riddick so much.
Starting point is 01:32:27 Yeah. That he's like, and the movie was made for something like $36 million, which is incredibly low. Yeah. But then again, the special effects look like it. Yeah. I respect it, man. I respect it. I just thought it was interesting that like, hey, it made money, but not more than its budget.
Starting point is 01:32:44 And we might not. I might have thought of going to see it if it didn't look like it's the exact same movie as Pitch Black. But Pitch Black's good. Yeah. All right, it's fine. But I saw it. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 01:32:54 But Batista's in the movie. Yeah, shut the fuck up. Batista's in a bunch of movies. Batista borderline ruined the man with the iron hands. Oh, no. Rizza. Oh, no. Rizza's the one.
Starting point is 01:33:05 Unfortunately, Rizza, exactly. Yeah. He wrote himself into a corner. And directed it. And acted it. He acted himself into another corner and then like directed it. And tried to write himself out of it. He's like dodging like it's himself.
Starting point is 01:33:22 Matt, what are you? Okay. You can't handle it. God damn it. Let's fuck that movie. Yeah, we're all pretty disappointed with it. Matt, what are you stalking this week? What's going on on the Matt Watch?
Starting point is 01:33:36 I'm stalking a very specific women wrestler that I just like got. When we went to the wrestling show, we learned about NXT, which is the WWE is kind of like, here's what we have for an indie product. There's no sketches. There's not really any storylines. There's a straight up wrestling, some promos. And that's where some of the best guys that we saw during the show is Sammy. Sammy's way.
Starting point is 01:34:02 Yeah. He's from our hometown. I learned, on Neogas, someone said, here's a bunch of matches from NXT. Look at these matches. And I looked down and I'm like, wow, this is really, really good physical wrestling. Dudes are trying really hard. Dudes are trying really hard, not botching, having cool, innovative moves. There's a girl that had a women's match and her name is Paige.
Starting point is 01:34:22 And she's basically new leader. Like kind of dark, a little bit gothic, not too over the thing. The best women's match I've ever seen words. The thing about women's matches and wrestling is that since women don't have the same mass as men, they go off the ropes, there's no impact. They can't like, they can't put their weight into it or whatever. So things just look limp and they don't look awesome. Sure.
Starting point is 01:34:46 And this match, they're like, no, don't do that stuff. Do submissions. Do like acrobatic things and do them faster. And it was really, really amazing. The girl's like, you know, very pretty or whatever. Her move is called the page turner. The name is Paige. Guys, Danny, all these good wrestling good names.
Starting point is 01:35:03 So I watched this match. It was just really awesome and she's doing super well. And I was just like, yeah, that's out of every women wrestling. There's tons of crappy ones. AJ Styles, not AJ. AJ, her name is just AJ. She's awful. But this page girl's super awesome.
Starting point is 01:35:17 Look her up. That's what I got. That sounds pretty cool. Send me that video. Oh, sure. Put in the show notes. Yeah, show notes. Why not?
Starting point is 01:35:25 Let's get into the questions. It's later time. It's later time. I think this may be my favorite part of the show. You do. Peckless is super dead. You do. He's not dead.
Starting point is 01:35:38 Shut up. Something bad happened to him though. You do. Soon you're going to tell me PJ Phil and Snit went off a cliff. Yeah, you saw that clip I put up. I did do that. God damn it. The zone.
Starting point is 01:35:54 Snit's forever. We should have our own Snit. He's sitting right there. If you have questions, we've got answers and you can send your questions to superbestfriendcastatgmail.com. I didn't hear it. What did you say? I didn't hear it. Superbestfriendcastatgmail.com.
Starting point is 01:36:19 There you go. Oh, thanks. I heard you better that time. You got to do my other part where you got to go, and if you do, you might sound a little something. No, screw it. I'm mixing it up. Fine. Keeping you on your toes.
Starting point is 01:36:31 You know what? Here's a question that just needs to be put out there because it keeps coming in too much. Okay, what is it? What do you look for in a fight stick? In a fight stick? I look for sand with parts. I look for it to be heavy. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:36:41 That's it. If you guys are looking for a really good arcade stick out there. Don't ask William to make it for you. I'm sorry. I've had to turn some people down recently. I'm sorry, guys. I don't have the time anymore because shit like this is taking my time up. I can't do it.
Starting point is 01:36:55 But if you want to go get a really good stick and you're looking to invest and just get the good stuff. If you want to get the best fucking stick. Get a Kanba. Yeah. Q-A-N-B-A. S. No. Q-A-N-B-A.
Starting point is 01:37:08 I just always say Kanba because I'm talking about multiples. Q-A-N-B-A. It is a brilliant stick. It is heavy. It is large. The wire tucks into the side. It is dual-modded out of the box. It has the best parts.
Starting point is 01:37:19 Now that's for PS3 360 and it'll also work on PC with the 360. New consoles are coming out. So it's a really weird time to buy an arcade stick. Not the best time. You're going to want to wait until killer instinct drops and then people are fucking with arcade sticks again. I bet if you wait a few months you'll be able to find like a mad cat's TE super cheap for this gen. Or an older canvas. A bit cheaper.
Starting point is 01:37:45 I assume the people that are asking though are getting into current gen fighters. Yeah, exactly. You know some Pashano Jojo Street Fighter guys or whatever. If you're going for current gen, you can't go wrong with that. And if you're looking for a cheaper end fight stick, you have two options. You've got the mad cat's standard edition. It all starts there. Well actually at this point you can try looking on Amazon stuff like that for older out-of-print
Starting point is 01:38:08 tournament edition ones from mad cats that can be as low as like $80. Yeah, $8,200. It's far superior to the standard edition ones. Yes they are. And even cheaper than that you can find the Soul Calibur sticks. Yeah. The Horries. And those are still good.
Starting point is 01:38:24 Yes. And those are like $50 at this point. There's no wait to them whatsoever but they will work. Now that being said, if you are really serious about learning arcade stick play for fighting games and you want to get in on it, buying the cheaper stick to get used to it is a complete fucking waste of money. Yeah. Okay, if you're serious about it, buy the fanciest, nicest stick you can possibly afford. And run with that.
Starting point is 01:38:49 And just beat into it because if you buy, like what I did, I bought the $60 Horie EX2 and then within a month I'm like this is not good enough. I need it to be bigger. I need it to be heavier. I need better parts. And then I had a guy on the internet make one and then I had you retrofit that. And I said fuck it. I got a mad cat's TE as soon as they came out.
Starting point is 01:39:10 So don't be like me and spend almost $1,000 on arcade sticks that you don't actually need. Just buy the one good one. If you know you're planning to commit. If for whatever reason you're ridiculously bankrupt and have to get a cheap one and it's not going to weigh anything, at least make sure the bottom of it has some sort of grip or rock or roll. Some kind of rubber feet or belts or something. Just so it doesn't slip all over. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:32 Yeah, pretty much that's it. That should answer everything. Yeah. This next question is for me and Matt actually. Maddie asks, Which one would you win in a fight? Hello, my question is for Willie and Matt. How many piercings and or tattoos do you guys have?
Starting point is 01:39:51 I have about 5% of my body is done in piercings and tattoos. No, I just have my one eyebrow piercing and my ears pierced as well. Yeah. I've got two eyebrow piercings and a lip piercing on the left side and a labyrinth under my mouth-ish area. Also a couple piercings that you can't talk about. You can. Oh my God, Prince Albert. You're supposed to imply you're not supposed to actually say that.
Starting point is 01:40:21 I would really like to get some cool tattoos. I have plans, but the problem is it's really difficult to find an artist that's good and used to doing black people. People. Yeah, I was going to say. It's tricky, man. Any time I ever think about getting a tattoo, I'm like, no. Because I guess what, you get old, you lose weight, you gain weight. If it fucks with your tattoos, I'm never actually going to do it.
Starting point is 01:40:48 I just keep thinking, what if you do it and then two years later they come out with digital tattoos? Yeah. We can eat 3D printed shit now. You're fucking fighting the future on that one. Tattoos have been more or less the same for thousands of years. They were right on the cusp of getting the old busted shit and then people have got LCD screens in their arms. You know what I think about when I'm like, oh, I'm going to tattoo someday? That thing where CM Punk says, I have tons of tattoos because I love things in life.
Starting point is 01:41:22 If you don't have tattoos, I feel bad for you because that means you don't love things. And I'm like, that's dumb. You're a jerk. But then I think about like, oh. I love things. The problem is I stop loving them. Yeah. Throw them away.
Starting point is 01:41:35 If I was 13 and I said, hey, man, I love Xenogir's a lot, I'd be fucking pretty pissed off now. I don't fucking Xenogir's tattooing my arm. Why did you just tattoo fucking Ed 209 in your chest? I'm thinking about it. I've been thinking about it for a long time. Don't make fun of me. Jesus. We've got a question here from Parker.
Starting point is 01:42:03 He asks. Good American name. Yeah. Pretty American. What's the best nope moment you've had playing a game? Now, do you mean like nope as in like, I can't deal with this or nope as in this is so bad? As in like fuck this. I'm not putting up with that shit.
Starting point is 01:42:20 Demon souls, the dragon god. Dragon god's pretty good. Can you think of anything that's not demon souls because that's where that comes from? Okay. I know. Okay. Dark souls. I got hit by an arrow off the walkway to the side of the Anor Londo Manfoye and went back
Starting point is 01:42:39 and realized that those two archers never leave and are always shooting at you. Dark souls, the dragon bridge. Dragon bridge. Yeah. Demon souls, the dragon bridge. Demon souls, the dragon bridge. Yeah. Demon souls, the flame lurker.
Starting point is 01:42:50 There's a pod. Demon souls when Old King Alan steals levels. Oh good for you. That never happened to me but when I heard about that I was like oh shit he can level down. I might be wrong on which one it is but I think it's Metroid Prime 1 and there's a particular room you go into where there's like three or four elite pirates just on your shit as soon as you walk in the door and you're just like fuck this.
Starting point is 01:43:14 No. I'm not prepared. Nope, nope, nope. I remember someone saying that I beat the boss like kind of like oh that wasn't too bad. I think it died once. It was that one boss in Metroid Prime 2 that had the speedball power up. I feel what it's called. It was like a big purplish bug with tons of eyes and it rolled.
Starting point is 01:43:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It used the speedball. You fought it. It was super, yeah. It was super, super hard. And everyone was like nope, nope, nope back then. It was way too hard. I hate this game.
Starting point is 01:43:40 It's so hard. I beat that boss okay but for me it was that fucking one of the last bosses in Metal Wolf Chaos when you're on a bridge. I'm not sure. I'm not sure how to remember this. It was on a bridge and you were fighting a ginormous tank. Yeah. It was on a bridge and all of us tried.
Starting point is 01:43:57 None of us could beat it. None of us could beat it. And then like weeks later I was like I'm going to try that again. And as soon as I stopped the fights I just calmly went to my Xbox and just turned it off. Another one for me is in the PSP game Corpse Party that I super recommend. It's a horror game. And you look in the reflection. You look at this cabinet.
Starting point is 01:44:17 It's filled with hair, right? I remember this moment. And right as you're about to like look away from it as you finish the text box you like see the reflection of a face in the window and then you're out and you're gone. But it terrified me. Did you play it? I did play it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:33 It's a really good moment. On that note I'm going to add four more. Oh Jesus. From Corpse Party? No. In Silent Hill 1 the very first mutilated guy hung up on a fence as you first go out of the nightmare world. In Silent Hill 2 the elevator that tells you to remove all of your items and weapons.
Starting point is 01:44:51 In Silent Hill 3 the infamous mirror room in which your mirror stops moving and becomes a giant pool of blood that attacks you. And in Silent Hill 4 in the hospital the giant head room. The room that has a giant head that just looks at you. You know what? Fuck it. I'm throwing two more on as well. In Ocarina of Time when you encounter your first redegg.
Starting point is 01:45:14 Oh shit. That's really good. Also the hands. The second one was going to be when that hand actually grabs you. The wall masters. Fucking throw your controller. You're done. That gameplay session is over.
Starting point is 01:45:28 I'm a big fan of those moments. Absolutely. They're fantastic. They're a good example of embodying your own character. If your game does that, great. I'll throw in one more. That giant eel in Mario 64. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:44 Also the piano too. Yeah. The piano fed Bradley to angry pissed off people. It was so weirdly out of place for Mario 64. Mario. Terrified of that eel. Dad Mario, Mario, Sunshine even and Mario Galaxy all have terrifying eels. It's fucked.
Starting point is 01:45:59 Eels aren't pretty man. Yeah. No. No. Kyle asks. So the only references I hear from you guys about Tekken are Lemon out like Cross Tekken and the Brian Fury laugh. That's literally all of them.
Starting point is 01:46:11 Are any of you guys avatekken players and if so who's your favorite character? I would say we're avatekken players but back in the day we used to play it all the time. Shit ton of it. On the PS2. We all like Tekken. I clocked in a lot of hours on Tekken Tek Tournament 2. For me it's 3. For me it's 3 as well.
Starting point is 01:46:26 For everyone. Yeah. I play Tekken 3 style, Jin Kazama in every game that I could because I love Discounter Move and I just like his mixture of Kazuma. Not Kazuma. I'm thinking it. I'm thinking it. I'm thinking it.
Starting point is 01:46:40 I'm thinking of f'ckin Kazuma. of Kazuma and his Mom. I like Hayachi. Yeah. I think those two are awesome. And maybe I'm a f'ckin asshole for always defaulting to the Mishimas but I don't give a f'ck. They're awesome. Well you have to understand that in the Tekken community there's a name for enough people
Starting point is 01:46:57 for you. They call you Mishima user because no one ever likes one. You take them as a punch. Yeah, yeah. They're all so good. They're all these nice variants of the same archetype. I love it. Matt?
Starting point is 01:47:08 They're all the same as Jin Kazuma. I wrote Jin Kazuma fanfiction for Tekken 3 back in the day. It was just a retelling of all the cutscenes that you would see in Tekken 3. Like when he gets the tattoo on his arm, when Ogre would like... And this guy makes fun of us to drag lengths. Yeah. Save everybody the trouble from now. Is it online somewhere?
Starting point is 01:47:28 It is not. Oh, what a shame. Okay, because you know the hunters already f'ckin put their fingers out to find it. They wouldn't actually think about more. It's like there's so many Tekken characters. I think there's some woman I really like. I don't remember who she was anymore. Yeah, girl.
Starting point is 01:47:43 I played Tekken a bunch and I never really got into it. At six I got really into it and I played Leo a little bit. That's messed up. Because we had the arcade early here and I was like, yo, it's sick. That's terrible. And then Tekken Tag 2 came out. I didn't really get too into it. I'm just not huge into 3D fighters.
Starting point is 01:47:59 I think Tekken's really cool and it's great and it's way more technical than Street Fighter. But I'm not too into 3D fighters. I really respected Tekken after Tekken Tag Tournament 1. That game was just so overwhelmingly fun. You gave up. It was amazing. And then they later introduced something I loved, which was bring your controller to the arcade and stick it in the slot and play.
Starting point is 01:48:27 But check to make sure some asshole didn't shove gum in there first. Or fucking peanut butter. You dick wherever you are. Some bunch of peanut butter in the NBA Jam. And NFL Blitz. NFL Blitz memory card slot. How do you know it was peanut butter? It had to be.
Starting point is 01:48:44 It was the right color and consistency. You better hope it was. You know it was. No, they had so many cool innovations going on back then. And then when I actually really started trying to figure out what was going on, there were some cool guys in the Street Fighter community that also play heavily in the competitive Tekken scene. And they introduced me to the game on that level. Man, oh man, do I fucking love Ancient Ogre.
Starting point is 01:49:05 He's the god of fighting. What else do you want there? And then of course, obviously, I just ooze everything about Steve Fox. Maybe annoyingly so. I have so many photos of you with Steve Fox. You know what you should do to make yourself more like Steve Fox? You should mangle your arm. Also, be British.
Starting point is 01:49:28 I remember this two-page ad for Tekken 3 and an EGM. All it was was a render of a forest. And it was old Heihachi since it was the first game he was old. And all the text would say is this is the face of fighting. Yeah. Awesome. I really just, the thing about Steve that I love. Oh my god.
Starting point is 01:49:48 No, no, no. It's more than just the character. Everything about him. It's the fact, it's more than the character. It's the fact that his systems. Should you go out and buy a bottle of lube before you do this? We should. His systems implement something fighting games have needed,
Starting point is 01:50:04 which is as many defensive options as defensive. I totally disagree. Defensive options as offensive. Sorry. Right? And I think that a really cool game would be something that allowed you to maneuver and fight that way. I can't disagree more. Put more offense.
Starting point is 01:50:20 Oh man. Everything needs more offense. No. That's my favorite thing about arc games is that they're like, why are you playing defense? I'm going to take all your super meter away because you're a bitch. You won't fucking attack. Fucking fight.
Starting point is 01:50:36 The first thing that Matt comes to me with with Killer is that it's like, is there a parry? Yeah, there's a parry. So I'm blocking a dodge. There's every defensive mood you can want. Defensive options, man. Your counter move is a power geyser. They're defensive.
Starting point is 01:50:51 Just real quick, we're on Tekken. So Namco is pretty much confirmed to be making Pokken, which sounds like Pokemon Tekken. I really hope they dumb it down a bit so I can play it. No. I hope it becomes needlessly complicated, just so I can see like eight-year-old children going, I juggle.
Starting point is 01:51:07 Tekken's not that bad, honestly. You just have to give it the chance that you gave Street Fighter. Dude, you saw me give it the chance. You saw me. We played it every day for like weeks. I tried. It's not enough. Give it a chance, Liam.
Starting point is 01:51:21 Yeah. You also have to play against people that know what they're doing. Like, I'm not the best guy that'll get it. Neither am I. I used to be, but not anymore. I'm just not a huge fan of like the super, super heavy footsie game. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 01:51:34 Fair enough. That's a more old-school appreciation. I will give it that. Yeah, that is. Here's a basic question that I think is worth addressing. Marcus asks, hey, super best friends, what's your preference to video games? Digital downloads or retail?
Starting point is 01:51:46 Oh. Oh. Oh. Quite very simple. Oh. I think we all have different opinions here. Well, that's the thing. I've shifted, right?
Starting point is 01:51:55 I used to be like, fuck that physical copy forever. And now it's just like, you know what? I've let go. My jimmies are unruffled as far as that goes. I want, at this point, I can deal with everything in my library being digital, except for special editions and really- That have stuff that you care about. Cool packaging that I really care about.
Starting point is 01:52:12 I'm totally right there with you with a single exception. And it's, I would gladly, I love retail. I love opening a box and getting that. Like, I used to love reading the manual, but all manuals are shit now. But I'll gladly go digital. Like, I'm huge in esteem. I've bought every Vita game digitally.
Starting point is 01:52:30 I'm buying more PS3 games digitally. Providing it's yours forever. Provided two things. It's yours forever, and it's not Nintendo's system, because holy shit, fuck Nintendo's digital system. No account. You have to file police reports to get your shit back. It's fucking outrageous.
Starting point is 01:52:48 That's not even a joke. What did the perp look like? Digitally, I don't lose my systems like an idiot, so I don't have any problem with that. I was fucking robbed! Anyway, I'm not a victim. I don't know what I'm really saying. But I have, like, I used to also be kind of like your way.
Starting point is 01:53:06 I was like, I want physical forever. And, like, Killer is Dead just came out, and you have it digitally, but the box is awesome. It has all this crap in it. That's cool stuff, and it's a game that I like. So, yeah, kind of me the same. It's, like, physical if I can get it, and I don't have to deal with people in a line.
Starting point is 01:53:25 But if it's digital, then I'll go for that as well. Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat where, like, physical has to be special. But, like, the reason I don't want to go full digital is actually kind of different, and it's because we don't have enough fucking memory yet. And, like, it varies from device to device. A lot of PC has enough memory.
Starting point is 01:53:42 Yeah, PC can go crazy. But, like, the Vita, you burn it up in, like, 10 seconds. Good thing they just announced a 64-gig memory card. Yeah, and I'm going to buy that in a heartbeat. But, like, even PS4, like, I'm sure that memory is going to burn up a lot quicker than it looks. As long as you can fit 15 games on there,
Starting point is 01:53:59 and you will be able to. But, like, 15 games over 10 years? No, you delete the whole one. Exactly, I don't like that. That's what I don't like about it, is having to delete stuff. Then take out the hard drive, and put in a six-terabyte hard drive into it. And I'm gonna, just like, well,
Starting point is 01:54:16 what I mean is we haven't been to that point where we've been able to do that, so right now I'm still kind of in. Like, even on my PC, I delete Steam games that I haven't played for more than a year, because I don't play them. This one's almost less of a question and more of an announcement,
Starting point is 01:54:30 because I don't know if you guys even know about this thing. But Elizabeth says, whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah, what do you guys think of Bart Kira? Russell or Unrestled? Have any of you seen Bart Kira? I assume that's a Japanese wrestler. Okay, no.
Starting point is 01:54:47 What? Fuck, I thought you might know, maybe. What are you talking about? Sorry, it's a Tumblr page where tons of artists have redrawn pages of Akira with Simpsons characters. No. No.
Starting point is 01:54:58 Wow. It's really good. Check it out. Is it as good as Tails gets trolled? No. It's kind of a different thing. I don't even know if that's fair. It's not fair.
Starting point is 01:55:07 That's not fair, dude. I'll say the idea that has me on Russell. That sounds funny. Okay, yeah, sorry. I didn't know. I thought maybe you might know it was as good as Garfield without Garfield. It's pretty good, though.
Starting point is 01:55:20 It's pretty good. I'll check it out. I'm fucking like Bart with the red jacket on the bike, like staring up in Canada, like this millhouse exploding into pieces. Bart, can you see my balls? Yeah, I think so. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:55:35 Oh, geez. I actually have a question. What I mean by that is that I saw... You have to write it in. What I mean by that is that I saw someone say, oh, I hope they get my question, but they probably won't. Right.
Starting point is 01:55:47 And it's a question that's very general and I wish I remember the guy's name. The guy was a symbol. All of you, what is your favorite anime? Oh, yeah, there's a bunch of those. I just didn't go into them. I think it's kind of fair to say really quickly.
Starting point is 01:56:03 I feel like I can't just say... No, just say it. What category? If I had to pick one where I had to be putting it out there, I would say Klannad. But like... No, you're done.
Starting point is 01:56:14 That's it. No, no, no. But please, listen to me. Turn his mic off. It's on the exact same level as Cowboy D-Bop and all that other great stuff. It's impossible to just say it. Yeah, I really don't like this question.
Starting point is 01:56:25 But Klannad would be the one I'd put out there. Give me a genre. I guess I had an answer. I guess I just wanted the answer because I know my kind of list. What would you pick? All-time favorite is Berserk. Berserk, of course.
Starting point is 01:56:37 Of course it is. You have an easy answer for that. What would you pick, Kat? The first 26 episodes plus first movie of Evangelion. Oh, okay. Yeah, all right. What would you pick?
Starting point is 01:56:46 Easy. Man. Come on, I did it. This is B-Bop because you want to shut up a little. Go with your gut. I love B-Bop. I love Trigun.
Starting point is 01:56:54 I love everything. Carrous is good. Carrous is really good. Hey, Willie, you answered the question. Good. Good. We're done. Okay, next question.
Starting point is 01:57:03 We're done. We're done again. Moving on. Okay. I'll throw Epo there, too. Yeah. Yeah. You know, when the new season of Epo comes out,
Starting point is 01:57:11 that's when I'm just going to be stalking every podcast. Epo every episode. You know what? Honestly, fuck it. You're done again. Nothing's gotten me a second time. Okay.
Starting point is 01:57:20 I can't pretend. And finally, let's go with Michelle. Mitchell, sorry. That's a way different. That's a way different. Yeah, Mitchell says, Hey, Zybatzu, I was wondering what graphic novels you all enjoy.
Starting point is 01:57:32 I know that Willie mentioned Why the Last Man, but what else do you guys like? Why the Last Man? Swallow. Yeah. So personally, I can definitely recommend Transmissor Paulitan is super awesome. That is another one of my favorites by far.
Starting point is 01:57:51 It is one of the best looks at the future that any graphic novel has taken in terms of just the chaos of what Earth becomes. Do it. Transmissor Paulitan. I don't know. I don't read a ton of graphic novels. I don't want to sound elitist or anything.
Starting point is 01:58:06 I buy all my comics and stuff. I know a lot of people don't. So I usually just knee-jerk and go to manga right away because I like that so much. But really, Why the Last Man? Yeah, sure. It's fucking amazing. It's really legit.
Starting point is 01:58:19 I only answered that because I already said Why the Last Man and the other thing. Exactly. I want to go ahead and say Why the Last Man. Yeah. It's really interesting. Transmitter Bodlin by Warren Ellis. Guys, do it.
Starting point is 01:58:28 Yeah, Warren Ellis. Warren Ellis, man. I suppose The Walking Dead as well. The problem is that when you say graphic novels, do you mean actually printed to be a graphic novel? Or do you mean like when a comic that got turned, because there's like a million of those? I mean, because I think what the question is is
Starting point is 01:58:46 what you just said. Yeah, I think it means printed to be a book type of thing. Yeah, and I honestly, I have to look through my stuff to see what I... You're allowed to say Punisher Max. I'm not even sure if it would be Punisher Max. Maybe it'd be like one of them, but I don't know. That's something I can't answer.
Starting point is 01:59:02 No. And I may have an answer for it. That's something we're like, and I'm still reading stuff now. That's really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't really have an answer right now, I guess. I hate to be too classic and boring here,
Starting point is 01:59:12 but I've only read one graphic novel ever. It was Watchman. And Watchman. And it was really good. Yeah. So by default, Watchman, you should check out some more Alan Moore shit. No.
Starting point is 01:59:22 I guess. No need to. Because I'm more like, I'm kind of like Liam, it's like manga interests me more, but then every manga that I'm thinking about reading just gets turned into an anime. So I'm like,
Starting point is 01:59:35 I get all the way up to date, like five years ago with Full Metal Alchemist, and then I run out. I'm like, shit. I read like 80 volumes in a weekend when's it gonna finish? So then I forget about it for three years, and the next thing I hear about is like,
Starting point is 01:59:49 did you know they turned the entire thing into an anime? Like, oh, okay. I'll guess I'll just watch that. Okay. Let me just, let me just, let me just remix this, this like graphic novel slash anime question.
Starting point is 01:59:58 You've got to complain and say this. Another thing, another thing better, like what's something that you're really into that you wouldn't think people would think you were into? Like what's an interesting thing that you're not? That's a hard question. Don't start with me.
Starting point is 02:00:09 Don't start with me either. Oh, okay. Tim's not me. Tim's not me. Super scared. There's something that you would, that would be considered out of left field from what your regular tastes are.
Starting point is 02:00:20 I literally have to. Because I have a really good one for you. I really like, go ahead. I love the shit out of everything related to Genchi Kim. I think Genchi Kim is awesome. That doesn't necessarily strike me as weird. Maybe to other people.
Starting point is 02:00:31 I don't know. Azumanga Dio? I love Azumanga Dio. I was about to say, I hate all the shit that came after it and ripped it off and became super creepy. And for people like Liam, but Azumanga Dio is really like
Starting point is 02:00:41 heartfelt and nice. It's so good. And happy and funny. It's really great, yeah. I love Azumanga Dio. It's great. I love nothing else like it. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:00:51 That's the important part. That's the weird part. I don't have an answer for this. This is a really hard question. We're really conflicted. I'm looking around my apartment. Yeah, exactly. Is this in general?
Starting point is 02:01:03 This is how we choose to represent it. I like fluffy puppies. It's not everybody likes fluffy puppies. No, he doesn't like fluffy puppies. He hates them. Manga? Oh, I know something. What?
Starting point is 02:01:15 I love peach girl. I love peach girl. What is that? Peach girl is just like a dating boys manga about a girl and her name is Momo, which means peach. Of course it does. Right? And she's called that because she just has a tan.
Starting point is 02:01:29 She just has a natural tan or whatever. And she just dates these two guys Kylie or whatever and they're like, I can't be with you Momo because this other girl is like spreading, threatening to spread naked photos of you around the school. And she's like, no. And it's just the most girly stuff ever.
Starting point is 02:01:46 And my ex-girlfriend at the time gave me all these and she's like, yeah, you want it? No, she was putting on makeup or something and she just had them in her bookshelf. And I was like, what the hell is this bullshit? God, this is so dumb. Let me read the next one. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:59 Let me read the next one. Damn, this is stupid. I read all of them. Yeah. It's super fun. Now that you mentioned that, like yeah, this is an anime that I watched recently called Skite Inayo,
Starting point is 02:02:07 which means like don't say, sorry, say I love you. That's walking away. It's just like walking away. It's just like, you know, it's an otome anime. It's for girls. No, I don't know what you're saying.
Starting point is 02:02:20 But that's not something we would not think about. You. Yeah. You have to pick something that's out of that. He has to be like, man, the punter shirt fucking rules I have every punter shirt. Right? Or some crazy back version.
