Let's get this show on the road, if anyone's even listening.
No?
No one's listening.
No one on here.
Where are they actually listening right now?
They're probably listening right now.
Oh no.
Wait, did you actually start the thing?
No, because they'll-
No, I can see it!
I can see it!
Oh no!
It's totally listening!
Hey everybody!
It's such a gloomy, tired day.
It's grey outside.
Is it raining?
It was raining all the way over here, I've got super wet.
It's the moon in the dark, it's one outside.
We sound like babies, because last week we were like, oh it's too hot and sunny, so...
Can't it be?
It's kind of what we have here.
Kind of sunny with clouds and not hot at all and snowy.
Why can't the entire earth have a nice, neutral temperature?
Exactly.
Neutral.
Yeah.
Like, weather.
Why do we have to have it?
Can we just global warm the cool parts and globally cool the hot parts?
That's a really good plan.
Like, how about those warm summer nights where it's snowing?
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I know, I know.
There's no wind, but the snow's going down and it's not cold.
You're having a nice, calming, relaxing time out in the chair in a tornado.
That's a thing!
Yeah, the thing you described has in fact actually happened.
I've seen it.
I enjoy trace moments, but it does happen, it's great.
Usually it's just tiny bits of hail, though.
Yeah, that's so cool.
Hail's awesome.
Hail's pretty cool.
Hail's great, yeah.
Hail's really cool, because I don't own a car.
I love complaining about the weather, because it's super ungrateful, because we're not being
washed away in a tsunami or like, fucking, murdered.
We got a light journey from the mighty mother nature of shit.
We're being tornadoed right now, listening to this podcast, going all the Zoom Grateful
fuckers.
He's in the bunker.
We all have a mutual friend on Facebook who likes the Transformers, and it's the guy that
isn't the big Transformer fan, it's the guy that looks up to the big Transformers.
It's tertiary, transphobe.
And he always yells at people when they complain about the weather, especially when it's cold.
You're right, just deal with it.
We're Canadian, just deal with it.
It's always wildly disproportionate.
It's always like...
This guy, I can't get out of my car, I can't bring my grandma to the hospital, and he wrote
just deal with it, because he thought he was just complaining about the weather.
I've been in a situation where I'm just like, man, it's really cold outside.
Yeah, so what?
Do you know that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like minus 40, and he's like, no, it's fine.
Whatever.
But then again, this is the same guy that tells everybody, don't help mothers with strollers.
Yeah.
What?
Because his mom told him that she had to deal with him on her own and never got help from
anybody, so you shouldn't help any strangers that have strollers in this group if they
need help.
Remember kids, it never helps anyone.
You should never help women with strollers, because it's probably not a baby, it's probably
a bunch of HIV positive syringes in the stroller.
That could get nasty.
Into a baby leotard type of thing, and they're like, oh, what a cute bit, oh, bam.
Little baby syringo.
Yeah.
You didn't notice until you kissed it.
Yeah.
No, just all in my eyeballs.
It looks like a regular baby to me.
Like a baby from the suffering maybe.
I have that disease where I can't tell baby faces from syringes.
That is not the disease that Brad Pitt's got.
Yeah, yeah.
One of them.
Yeah, that's why Angelina keeps trying new ones.
Oh, no, wait, they got divorced.
I don't care anymore.
No, they didn't.
Who gives a shit?
You're the one that brought it up.
I know.
And it's my fault.
It is your fault.
It's a fucking tabloid bullshit.
Watch Hackers again.
Oh, yeah.
And no.
No, yeah.
No, no, no, no.
You watch God in 60 Seconds.
Yeah, that's where she goes.
God in 60 Seconds is the ultimate fantasy, because not only is Angelina Jolie the hottest,
but she makes out with Nick Cage.
Yeah, yeah.
I get I plus.
No, it's because you're like, it's the Ron Jeremy syndrome of like, well, Nick Cage is
a particularly handsome looking man.
He can do it.
He can do it.
I got a shock.
In this car.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One day you'll get a car, and you'll be able to pull off that kind of thing.
Maybe Angelina Jolie will jump into your car with her blonde dreads.
Oh my God, she had blonde dreads in that movie.
I don't remember that.
No, she does.
Believe me, I masturbated quite a bit during that movie.
All right.
Yeah, there you go.
Angelina Jolie's 48.
Talk the best.
Angelina Jolie's 48.
We're going to go raw on this episode.
I thought we were at like 50.
I thought we were at like 50.
No, no, no.
We were talked about getting.
We talked about getting.
We talked about getting.
And how awful it would be.
Yeah, we're now at the point where even if we wanted to, we can't stop, so we might
as well just go for the rest of it.
That's it.
That's it.
It's like when cars in JoJo are like running for the cliff.
They're just like, and there's 10 pages of like, what am I going to do?
I can't stop running now.
Cars has no intention of stopping.
We can't hit the brakes now.
Even if you stop, I'm going to pull you over the edge.
There you go.
Not if I kick snow in your fucking face.
Now listen to this sick, like, Arabic theme of the Pillar Men.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's so good.
You know, oh wait, yes, yeah, yeah.
Turn down for what?
It's so good.
Fantastic.
I love it.
I forgot about it.
Someone relapsed me to reading Rainbow Theme Song with DMX.
Did you see that?
I knew that one.
It's just a reading Rainbow Theme Song, and it's just like, what in the middle?
And it's just like, like, places to go, reading Rainbow, suck my dick.
It's amazing.
I feel like reading Rainbow brings out the weirdest surreal possibilities.
It also brings out, it also brings out what we're talking about, a five million dollars.
Did it?
Yeah, it ended with five million.
Because there was that, there was the funnier die, like, reading Rainbow, LeVar Burton thing,
where he turns into a god and, like, blows up the earth.
And then there was that really, really weird, what's the name of the guy who plays Cedric
Daniels on the wire?
Oh, yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, and where he goes on some adult swim talk show and comes out dressed like Koon Takinte
with the Geordie Viseron.
It just starts going crazy.
No, that guy's hilarious.
Oh, he's fucking crazy.
He's been on the Andy Samberg cop show as well.
Like, he's really good.
It's because he's got the, like, the most serious face ever.
Yeah, it works.
It works.
Thanks.
It's, oh man.
No, I fucking, I wish I could remember his name.
And all I can see is, like, Cedric Daniels as other characters now.
Of course, of course.
Yeah.
Make no tea.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, guys, how was the week for you all sucked?
Wow, that's insane.
Did it?
Nailed that one.
Um, did it suck the dog's bollocks?
No.
No, the dog's bollocks is good.
The monkey's teeth.
Oh, that's what you mean.
Yeah, it was okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Wow, okay.
That's it.
Okay.
Okay.
All right, Matt, what's up?
Okay.
Yeah, Matt, how did that happen to your week?
I had a pretty good week.
I had a weird moment because my girlfriend's mother came back from Florida and she's rich
and she's retired.
So what she likes doing is buying everyone new wardrobes and she got it for me.
You have to impress her with your cute little YouTube channel?
Yeah.
Well, they don't understand it.
It worked.
They don't understand it.
They're like, oh.
It's your best certain age.
Old people just like, you try and explain this and they're just like, is it like the
radio?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But since we're going to Cuba, she's like, oh, everyone needs a new wardrobes and she
just got everyone a new wardrobe, me, my girlfriend, her sister.
You have a juice bag of Hawaiian shirt now?
No.
This woman shopped for me better than my mom shopped for me my entire childhood.
Make sure to wear it.
You're an adult now.
Make sure to wear all your American themed clothing as hard as possible.
So I was telling my girlfriend, I was like, oh, I have three pairs of glasses.
That's enough.
Because you're not counting those American ones you got from the mail bag and I was like,
fuck yeah, I am.
Probably a bad idea to wear those in Cuba and they go, wrong.
You're going to want to take a backpack and sew that Canadian flag.
The same friend that told me about the whole tipping them and covering the month's rent thing
and whatever, he told me he has his basketball jersey that says USA on it.
Yeah.
He wears it everywhere.
It's a normal thing.
And he walked into a spot and a bunch of dudes just looked at him and were like, Maricano.
And I was like, no, no, no, no, Canada, Canada, Canada.
Likely so.
What is the deal?
Why would you do this then?
Yeah, no.
No, I'm not from Seattle.
Yeah, I'm not from Seattle.
So why would you like...
Yeah.
Find yourself done in like, La Tortuga on Breaking Bad.
Oh yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's like, why would you do that?
It's like when you...
I feel like every couple weeks there's a hockey game and the bars are packed and you're walking
home and you see a dude wearing a maple leaf jersey.
Just like, what are you doing?
Why?
Are you crazy, bro?
So that's interesting because that leads me into a thing.
I saw the new movie called Deliverous from Evil, which has Eric Bona as...
It's very seven.
Let me just cut it out of the way.
It's very like seven.
It's cops with some sort of dark, dreary, supernatural type elements.
The one with the awful trailer.
It's an awful trailer, but that's one of those trailers where it's like, let's chop out this scene,
but it doesn't work.
But the actual movie was...
Awful jumpscare moment with the child in the bed.
Yes, but it...
With the mirror.
That one.
The little hoo-boo owl.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The actual movie was quite good.
I enjoyed it.
But Joel McHale plays his partner.
And they're both thick New York acts.
It's like, yeah, what the fuck are you talking about over here?
What with your supernatural Tom Fulverina?
Man, that guy's just on drugs.
Don't drop those pizzas.
Drop those pizzas.
Don't drop them.
And Joel McHale's wearing a Red Sox cap, and Eric Bona goes, what the fuck are you doing?
When some mook comes up and shoots you, I'm gonna laugh.
I'm gonna laugh at my ass off.
And Joel McHale goes, you've never laughed in your life.
So that just really struck me as totally that.
The main reason, sorry, the main reason I wanted to catch it is because it's directed by a guy
named Scott Derrickson, who's been, who just got hired by Marvel to direct the Doctor Strange
movie.
So that's what I like to do sometimes, or I'm really...
Just see what's up.
I wanted to see social network, but I wanted to see social network.
Let's see this new Spider-Man.
Okay.
Does that mean there's a potential for Schumagorath to be on the big screen?
Finally.
I hope so, man.
I would say like it's gonna just be Baron Mordo.
Strange has a bunch of enemies.
Because I can just see Schumagorath himself.
He'll be a big thing of gas.
Yeah, he'll be a big gas club.
Sometimes it's just himself.
You know, I'm stuck in some bullshit dimension.
That grave, the movie started like that.
I could just see talking to Marvel and saying, I really want to use Schumagorath for this.
And Marvel goes, who?
I don't know.
I just like him from Marvel.
Doctor Strange in the dimension of pure dookie.
I also saw a Netflix movie called Maniac, which starred Elijah Wood as the titular Maniac.
And the interesting thing about this is that it's done entirely in his perspective.
The camera work is always done in the killer's perspective.
So every kill is first person.
You only see him in reflections, in his mirror.
Now, I like to think that, what's the show with him and the dog?
Wilfred.
Wilfred is like the precursor to Sin City.
And then somewhere in between, you could throw this movie as how he goes from being that guy into the silent Kevin.
Well, and Sin City, you're kind of mute.
So something must have made him mute.
Yeah, yeah.
And this movie was a little, it wasn't particularly awesome.
Because Elijah Wood clearly, he voiced his role after the cameraman shot it.
Oh, that sucks.
So there's a little like disconnect where he's overacting to no one.
Because no one's actually curing him or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
So he like, he doesn't.
He has to make it sound good.
Just to be clear, he's like, he loves mannequins and masturbates with them and does all these creepy things.
And he kills women and scalps them and puts them on his man.
The character.
He's a maniac.
The mannequins are cool.
Yes, the character.
Not Elijah Wood.
Okay, cute.
Being not being paid since Lord of the Rings.
It's not like actual cannibal shot out of the booth.
Yes, the actual cannibal shot out of the booth.
Aside from that, I watched Sailor Moon Crystal.
I watched the first episode of that.
Yeah.
Total nostalgia.
Animation quality, huh?
I like the animation quality and I don't get people saying, oh, the transformations are CG.
What bullshit.
I think the transformation, it looks fine.
I think it looks perfectly fine.
I really liked it, but I think the transformation sequence being CG is garbage.
I also added this.
I think it looks way more dynamic than anything that could have been done in 2D.
Well, you could do the same thing, just 2D.
I don't know.
It must be hard, because then why would they do it?
Expensive, for sure.
But I mean, it's Sailor Moon.
It's something with no pull.
And they're lucky to make any money off it.
I find it weird that you're willing to deal with this, but the Berserk CG you flip out about.
Oh, no, the Berserk CG, the first movie was terrible because it was terrible.
The second one was better and the third, I didn't mind it at all.
Considering the show is two weeks per episode, so they've got a higher budget per episode,
I'm surprised they did that.
It could be like the live action on where the whole budget goes into LUNA.
Like, that's all of the money they had.
I still enjoyed it.
I watched it on Crunchyroll.
I thought it was just fun.
I love, like, I'm so used to Tuxedo Mask on her meatball head and the English dub,
but when these coals are, like, bun head, I'm like, shit, fucking wrong.
Yeah, eat your meatballs, Tuxedo.
Just eat the meatballs, Tuxedo, exactly.
I thought it was fun.
I just wanted to jump back because I remembered something about the hotkey jerseys and what not.
Our friend, that awesome girl, that is a fan of Boston that lives here.
Yeah!
Like, you talk about the guys that are, like, wearing the jerseys with the leaves going,
like, what the fuck are you doing, where she wears that and goes to a bar basically looking for a brawl.
Boston is nuts.
Boston is not Toronto, man.
Yeah, it's not.
Ah, the hatred is all his nose there.
No, no, not even close.
Not even close.
Yeah.
If you were walking, here's how you do it, here's how you do it.
If somebody was walking down the street and you saw a brick come out of nowhere and hit them in the face, okay?
You'd be like, oh no, right?
But!
But!
If I told you they were from Toronto, you'd be like, yeah!
And if I told you they were from Boston, you'd be like, oh no!
But if it's during this hockey season, then I don't know.
Oh, rivalries burn hot for people who care.
I don't care about hockey!
Well, that's the point.
Like, that's how hot that rivalry burns!
When I was a little kid, I was taught that Toronto is the fucking enemy.
And I can't, I can't get rid of it!
It's so strong!
It's in there.
Your teacher pointing at a mat.
It's your bloodline.
It's the guts running through your blood.
Yeah, totally.
And just to finish up, I played a bunch of killer angst over the weekend.
No one knows how to fight full gore.
I decided just to take full gore.
No one knows what to do because no one takes them.
Right.
It's weird.
Like, I saw tons of spinels, no full gore.
No one, no one at your ranking.
No one at my ranking.
Which is still at six.
Because now that Max and those dudes are, like, there's rankings at numbers we can't even fathom.
They're adding more.
There's more!
It's this scenario in which, like, the higher ranking is too crowded with people that are of actual, like,
number one rank is actually, like, pretty good people and then godlike people.
So we need to add more to space them out.
I might just be creating bullshit here.
I don't know if it's the truth, but it feels like they're raising the ceiling constantly.
Because people are getting back.
The highest is apparently 40, which is killer.
No, there is up to 50.
I didn't see that at all.
But Max just put out a video saying, like, killer 40s.
I think I saw up to 50.
I might be wrong.
But, like, in my way.
But I think that's what it is.
Yeah, people are hitting that ceiling, maybe.
And it's like, I have room to grow.
Starcrafted there.
If I remember correctly, they originally had just, like, they were gems.
It was like bronze silver gold or whatever.
I know I got the wrong ones.
But it ended up turning out that, like, the top league was filled with half of the player base.
Or something like that.
It's like, the shittiest people in this league are garbage compared to the top people in this league.
You need to spread it out more so that you actually...
Especially if they have it now, they will do it in season two.
Yeah, for sure.
Like, could you imagine a fighting game that's just popular enough and has a decent enough ranking
that you're actually getting matched with people of roughly equivalent skill consistently?
No, I can't.
Like, that'd be amazing.
Would that be the best?
Yeah, but it would still pay to compare them to local.
Yeah.
At the end of the day.
Oh, yeah.
Sure.
But it would be really good.
And in a lot of cases, it wouldn't pay on comparison to local because in many cases, someone's local is their brother.
Yeah.
Sometimes.
No, but local against an equivalent player, he means, of course.
Yes, but I'm talking like...
Like, both situations being a parody.
The local scene doesn't exist for people in Saskatoon.
I was talking for sure.
Or a BTP tennis game.
I don't know why you'll miss it.
I was talking...
I just want to say BTP.
Yeah, you said it a couple of times.
It's fun.
I was talking to Plague about this, like, quite a bit, actually.
It's just way out of nowhere.
Yeah, it's like fighting games are a weird thing where it's unfortunate, but a lot of the game's experience to you has to do with your surroundings.
Not a lot of genres have that, you know?
But how many people love Mario Kart that have never played at local against somebody?
Very few.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
There's probably a couple of fans out there that only play at 90 points.
Like fighting games, I would say that fighting games have a large consistent of people that are online warriors.
Of course, yeah.
The online one.
You want Mario Kart, right?
And I'd say it's the opposite for something like RTS.
Like RTS is now it's online.
Like you'll meet to do land.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like 99.9% of your lands are online experience.
Yeah, totally, totally.
And I also bought a barbecue.
Yay!
Do you even know how to barbecue?
Yes, I do.
I went to a Canada Day party where a French lady came and yelled at us.
And said, this isn't a real holiday.
All of you calm down.
Stop.
Stop being French.
That's hilarious.
In French no less.
In French no less.
Of course in French.
Are you going to yell in English?
This isn't a real holiday, no.
All right, so I want to see a Kiss the Cook apron.
Yeah.
I want to see a Kiss the Cook apron with lips around the crop.
I'm going to have a big thing.
I want to invite everyone over to Matt's American BBBQ.
The extra B is for B-Y-O-B-B.
What's that extra B for?
It's a typo.
And I want to see Matt squeezing the oil or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, lighter fluid.
Lighter fluid.
And then it starts dripping.
And then you go, see even more.
And then it just lights up.
Yeah.
So yeah, a busy week.
A busy week.
Get ready to see the new Matt.
No eyebrows, Matt.
No eyebrows, Matt.
Eyebrows are overrated.
They're a little overrated.
They're really not.
You ever see those photos of people with their eyebrows digitally altered to be removed?
No.
People look weird with no eyebrows.
They look like they're from Cramarty.
Yeah.
They're swimmers.
They look like swimmers.
So her name is Mickey.
Whatever.
Take your picture.
No real difference.
Does that mean that Michael Phelps really is from Dragon Ball?
Amen.
I think that's what he's saying.
That's what he's saying.
Yeah.
Liam.
A good week because it was the birthday.
Happy birthday.
How did you like the fact that like people looked at your Facebook, found out it was
your birthday and then posted it all with social media?
It's fine.
That happened last year too.
So whatever.
I'm over it.
How was your birthday?
It was great.
I went up north to see my family.
Some of which I haven't seen since my last birthday.
Back on the farm, right?
Literally.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How's Old Bessie doing?
Dead.
How's Old Plague?
All the cows are gone.
Plague's good though.
Plague's good.
I'm sure that he was there.
Yeah.
I mean did you chase around the animals and put them all by the horse?
No.
He used that weird farm teleportation thing, right?
Yeah.
Where all farms are secretly connected.
Fast travel.
Fast travel.
Yeah.
It's not a secret.
You didn't know?
Just lived up the rock underneath the third stall on the stable.
Yeah.
I'm just hearing the Lon Lon Ranch music the whole time.
Yeah.
You should have made a video of you there like piling around and then just put Lon Lon Ranch
music.
Yeah.
Maybe next year.
I wrote Happy Birthday in Japanese on your wall.
I saw it.
That was super loud.
I thought that was piping in through somewhere.
Wait, that's Kakariko Village.
Yeah.
It's alright.
That's fine.
She had the family over.
She had like just had a barbecue and you know, regular family gets together.
It's a lot of fun though.
It's a lot of fun though.
I prefer that to do in like something in the city.
Why didn't you play laser tag out on the farm?
Yeah.
Well, because we were using water guns and shit.
Yeah.
One swim in the creek.
You know what you should do, right?
You know the creek?
You know what you should do.
Actually though.
You should fill those water guns with piss.
I was...
You've been trying to push this for a little while.
Yeah, you've been doing this.
Imagine if you went out to see your pals, you're all going to play water guns and yours had
piss in it.
You win.
Ain't that some shit?
Yeah.
I would say that the spritz are filled with piss is worse.
Yeah.
Because it gets everywhere and your...
In your eyes?
In your nose?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was...
Just yesterday when I was at my girlfriend's parents house, like they're rich and they have
a giant pond and they have fish and frogs in there.
And she's like, you'll never catch this frog.
No, we can catch this motherfucking frog.
Oh?
And I was like, oh yeah?
And I go, okay, well I didn't catch the frog.
But I was like, I bet Liam's catching five million frogs right now.
He actually went and caught a bunch of tadpoles.
Oh, that's close enough.
We should have brought your over.
They were frogs.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I haven't played this in time since it was my birthday, so I played some video games.
You played video games?
Yeah, I finished two.
I finished Borderlands 2, which I've been playing for a little while.
How do you feel about Borderlands 2?
It was fun.
It was a fun game.
I played the first one for about 10 hours, so I never really super got into it.
I finished this one with the Mechromancer after 18 hours.
Mechromancer was really fun.
18?
Yeah.
God, how did I not beat that game?
I spent like 30.
I only got like halfway through.
I did a lot of side quests until like halfway, and then I stopped the side quests.
That would do it.
That would do it.
But I finished one of the expansions.
Did Birch do a good job?
Sorry?
Did Birch do a good job?
50%.
Okay.
You mean one of the Birches did a good job, or both of them did a 50% job?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's about right.
Yeah, but it was fun.
Nonetheless, fun game.
I'm looking forward to whenever the next one comes.
Are you looking forward to Borderlands the pre-sequel?
Actually, I take that back.
Looking forward to the next, next one.
The next...
One of the second Borderlands projects.
You know what?
You do the title, I'm fine.
I take that one.
The next chapter in the award-winning Borderlands saga.
Exactly.
They'll take Maliam's Royal Marines.
Exactly.
The other game I finished was a band Hawking's and the 1001 Spikes.
Yeah, I finished that.
That was the platformer that I did not know I wanted.
You're finished, yeah.
I'm so bad right now.
Fucking amazing.
I spent like $13.
There's two jumps in that game!
Yeah.
Short jump, high jump.
Yeah, short jump and high jump.
That's crazy.
It seems weird, but the mechanics are so tight and the level design just like...
There's so few mechanics.
You learn very quickly why you need that.
The level design is constructed around that.
Exactly.
There's very few mechanics, so it's really simple, but it constantly reinvents itself
and brings out new gimmicks.
Give me a gimmick.
Give me one gimmick.
It's simple stuff, like moving platforms.
But then they put two moving platforms above each other, but both of them have spikes
that pop out when you stand on them.
What?
So you have to jump on one and immediately jump again.
But not hit the spikes on the ceiling.
And the emergent gameplay, as we were discussing yesterday, you and I, is when you get frustrated
and try to rush through it.
Yeah, come back!
Yeah!
Fucking impossible.
And all the skill you accumulated goes to shit.
The battle against your patients.
Yeah.
That was a much longer game than I thought, but I thoroughly enjoyed it all.
The problem with that game and not a problem with it is that, like, I always confuse it with La Mulana.
Yeah, I do the same thing.
I've done that a million times.
They look really similar.
Are both MA characters Indiana Jones?
Yeah, it's flunky, right?
Yeah, it's flunky, too.
But when you actually play them, there's a huge difference.
No, no, I know that.
But whenever I see screenshots, I'm like, oh, La Mulana.
Damn it!
No, it's not that.
Really, really good game.
Recommend that to anyone who likes platformers.
But if you didn't grow up on hard games, you might just hate yourself.
You mean, like you?
I did.
He grew up on hard games.
Well, he did?
He was a generation removed.
Oh, yeah!
And able to keep up with the conversation.
And not just talking about Dota.
Exactly, exactly.
You showed us the proof just now of how fucking weird it should be.
Oh, man!
I was looking through family photos at home, and I was like, oh, this photo will make Pat feel old,
so I gotta take a picture.
Makes us all feel old, you bastard!
It's a picture of me when I was, when did that movie come out?
1999.
1999?
Yeah.
I was seven, with a Star Wars Episode I t-shirt on.
And Pat looked at it, and then Matt looked at it, and Wally looked at it,
and he had an old face.
Just get out of my face.
Just get out of my face.
There's not any particular reason.
It's just you look at it, and you're just like, fuck you.
Again, as we go further back in time, it just gets so fucking weird.
So here's the other problem, is that the old man feeling is starting faster.
I was recently asked on Tumblr, hey Pat, when do you know you're an old guy?
And I said, you know when you ask that question, and you don't understand the kids?
Right.
And then I got a bunch of responses like, I'm 17, and I feel like that.
It's like, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
There you go.
It depends how you raise and everything, but it's like, when I first started looking at
kids with different phones than mine, I was like, what the fuck's going on?
For me, it was when kids had phones.
Oh yeah, that's not a big deal.
I feel it's going to be like when music seems out of touch, which has not yet happened for
a while.
I'm immune to that because I was never in touch with music.
Fair enough.
Never ever.
When the electronic just starts going into like the weirdest, hard to follow places,
and you get whatever the, I don't know, like what genre mashups between anime and metal
and anime should help, screamcore mashups.
Yeah, screamcore.
Or in Kamen Rider, they have a genre of music called spilk, which is like folk with like
punk and ska at the same time.
No, you can't.
Shut up.
That feels like a band that Kamiya should be in.
It's supposed to be the worst music ever.
So you're angry against the world that you live on a farm and that your baby left you?
With smooth Jamaican rhythm.
Smooth Jamaican rhythm undertone.
There was this one video I saw this weekend that made me feel a bit like that, not that
they're having it in other things, and it was that kids react to Game Boy.
Oh yeah.
Where are the apps on this?
And you see them fumbling with the cartridge, not being able to get it in right?
Well, kids aren't very good at sticking things in other things.
And at the end, they're like, oh, would you play this if you had one?
And they're like, I'd play my iPad.
I'm just like, oh, I want all these kids.
Yeah, you know who else is watching that?
Simreaction?
Iwata?
Yeah.
To be fair, the original Game Boy you play now, and I would almost be like, I would buy this.
The original Game Boy.
One kid said it can't even detect skin.
It uses buttons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I would say that the...
That's the disparity of technology and the span of time.
Don't watch those videos.
That's what they're for.
I really don't like those.
I love the Game Boy.
I would say that the original Game Boy is at the place where the Atari and its ilk are
now, and it's just too primitive.
I think anyone's going to be able to go back to the NES because it has colors and shapes.
But if you play them on a Super Game Boy, the games are still good.
There was colors on bullshit pack men, whatever, back in the day.
Okay, but 99% of Atari games, you're a block.
Yeah.
No, I think when you go back and you have knobs instead of buttons, now we can't...
Well, maybe we should go forward and get knobs.
PS5, seven knobs on the controller.
Yeah.
Where's my trackball?
Trackball?
Yeah.
I don't know the reason.
The trackball was...
I'm tired playing Golden Teas.
Yeah.
Golden Teas still releases every year.
What?
With the trackball everything.
No.
Dress.
And the number of credits.
Incredible technologies.
Shut up.
You've got to have room for technology.
Incredible technologies.
No, they're still making Golden Teas.
And it's still successful.
And the reason the trackball went away is because it's hard to maintain as an arcade
park.
Yeah, definitely.
I still think there's room in this world for trackball games.
I used the trackball recently.
Well, you know, Marble Man...
Yeah, I was the motherfucking cat, I'm married, damn it.
Marble Man thinks of that shit.
I think there's a cabinet of Marble Man that doesn't have a trackball, and it's the most
garbage ever.
You need two balls.
You need two balls.
It'd be so fun.
Neither.
Yeah, it would be.
Put me in Oculus and just give me one of those, or just put a big bottle on a spit.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
If you're in the Oculus, where is your perspective?
Behind the ball.
Where you can't see anything.
Yeah, you couldn't see anything.
That's another thing.
You'd have to do God view.
You'd have to be like Ketu, like, following the action.
But wouldn't you want to try behind the ball, too?
I would.
It was really cool.
And then your immersion would be destroyed.
No, the ball is semi-transparent in the center, so you can constantly...
No, fuck that.
Fuck that.
I want to see the moot cow that's upset that he's in the ball.
You'll see him when he comes.
You are the ball, and you keep rotating, and your point of view keeps spinning.
You like the cousin stuck in the ball?
That's vomit.
Speaking of which, how was your week, Catamari Willie?
Ah, Catamari Willie had a good week.
I rolled up.
You rolled up into my life.
I rolled up Shuffle Night.
Yeah.
How about that ending?
Wow, right?
Isn't that super good?
That was a really good ending.
That was really well done.
Yeah, man.
Did you shuffle up your allies after?
I did.
Good.
And I'm happy.
Because a lot of people missed that.
Yeah, I didn't.
It's kickass.
It is.
It was one of those things with like...
Does that change the ending?
Maybe.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But, you know, then you find out now about things like...
Butting butt, butt.
Butt, butt, butt.
You know, butt, butt, and shield butt.
You can do this as a code to replace every now and then with a butt.
There's 300 game genie style codes.
Sure.
There's the one that makes you jump high and shit.
There's some really fun stuff in there.
And the really, like, simple story drops were just nice.
And then they come to a really satisfying inclusion at the end that involves interesting
new mechanics for the boss fight.
And again, that whole thing of like, fuck this.
I'm just going to speed through the stage.
I know what to do now.
I'm just annoyed at this dumb jump.
And then you die every time because you forget about the fish.
That fucking fish that jumps in, you know?
That gets really brutal in New Game Plus.
So, it's like...
New Game Plus is really fun.
I feel like New Game Plus should have been the original difficulty.
I feel like half of people wouldn't be able to beat it, but I agree with you.
I agree with you.
People fight it too hard as it is right now.
Yeah, well, that's a tough game.
I mean, when you fall for the first time in Propeller Night Stage and the screen
scrolls down instead of killing you, you kind of go like,
Oh, wow, this is a lot easier than I thought.
Because I thought that whole stage was going to be drops of death.
That happens in Elect Man Stage and Mega Man 1 as well.
Yes, because it is vertical.
Yeah, all the vertical stages have the drops.
I like that it's continuing the Mega Man tradition of the vertical stages
are the worst stage in the game.
Worst isn't hardest or worst isn't.
I don't enjoy vertical stages.
I enjoyed it.
I liked it.
I had fun.
I do hate Elect Man Stage, though.
I finished off the book I was telling you guys about,
100 Years of Solitude, the audiobook.
It's fucking great.
I really do highly recommend it to you guys.
I think, honestly, you guys would enjoy it.
I think anyone who's listening to this should definitely check that out
if you get the chance.
100 Years of Solitude, super fucking great story.
It does something really cool that's realistic.
There's a term for it, but it's like realistic magic or something like that.
Like it's believable?
It's believable, but then random things will happen
that are like, that is supernatural.
Oh, okay.
I'm not doing that.
Does it kind of just skirt the line, I believe?
Yeah, so a character that's just really old
will just continue to live on for 150 years.
Okay, sure.
And you just don't question it because...
Because within the context of the universe it fits.
Whatever.
That person must be a huge prick.
Ah, well.
He's probably just really old.
Because pricks live forever.
Pricks do live forever.
And the good guy young.
And dumbasses never get sick.
Yeah, see, so like...
If you see a person that's like 180, they're probably Hitler.
In disguise.
And I watched the Grand Budapest Hotel.
Oh, I did too, actually.
Wasn't that great?
Holy shit, what a good movie.
Well, you know what though?
That is typical Wes Anderson.
He is awesome.
I was going to watch a Moonlight Kingdom,
which is what he made before,
just before Grand Budapest Hotel.
And he talked about...
He likes putting Edward Norton in roles where he's like,
don't even try to act.
No accent required.
Don't have anything in your voice.
Adrian Brody.
Don't even blog.
Matthew McConaughey.
Yeah, Grand Budapest Hotel is just really nice.
Okay, was that George Clooney that appears for a second
as a random soldier?
Remember they had a shootout towards the end of the movie
in the hotel?
It was a guy that jumps out for a second
and the camera highlights him
and it looks like George Clooney,
but I wasn't sure.
I didn't see it.
I know there's a bunch of actors
who are there for like this long.
And Wilson's there for like this.
I guess in a minute he's got your fucking...
I thought it was him just because
of the Fantastic Mr. Fox connection.
Well, that's right.
And honestly, like, yeah,
if you haven't seen his movies,
he's got a really colorful, like whimsical style.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And all that happens with Old Woman titties in your face.
It's awesome.
Oh, this, I didn't know I wanted this,
but thanks.
There they are.
Yeah, there they are right there.
Here, this will be a treat.
Here it is.
Yeah, no, that was...
God damn it.
Oh, and I got Moe's stink lines in my brain.
There you go.
Old Lady titties.
There you go.
That's what I wanted.
But he did it.
I didn't do it.
Yeah, yeah.
We teamed up.
We teamed up to get that.
You were building up the strikers.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm too big a fiddle to be played along.
I'm too...
Speaking of assists,
I played a lot of Skullgirls this week.
Nice.
That game's awesome.
I know.
It's almost as if you're wrong about everything you've ever said.
Not everything.
Most things.
I'm blown away at how much you improve
when you just learn B&B combos.
Absolutely.
And then you're like,
B&B combos in that game do 70%.
Welcome to fighting games.
Yeah.
Well, don't drop them.
Yeah, don't drop them
because then they start their B&B.
Yeah.
Or they mash out their level three.
And I started to learn how to use assists,
which is really weird.
But more important than that is that
Skullgirls' lobby system is goddamn amazing.
That's the stuff that he's been saying about how
it's these inside mechanics of fighting games
that no one's touched or trying to make good.
The Skullgirls' lobby system is the all-play
lobby system that matches...
Describe it.
Okay, so in your standard fighting game lobby,
Woolly, you made the room.
Yeah.
I joined the room.
Matt and Liam, you joined afterwards.
Yeah.
Me against you, Woolly.
You win.
Then it goes to Matt and me and Liam watch.
You rotate the control.
And then it rotates around when it stays on.
Eight people in a room.
The Skullgirls' all-play lobby is
you and I, Woolly, come in.
You guys come in.
We all hit ready and it'll match us up randomly.
Play whoever.
And whenever people are just not fighting,
it will look in the room to match you up to fight.
And over time, as the win losses become to skew
clearly how good people are in the room,
it'll start to put the people with the
highest win rate together.
And the people with the lowest win rate together.
And unless it breaks, which sometimes
it just fucking breaks, it's just fantastic.
You never wait more than 10 seconds for a match.
You just play a video game.
It's amazing.
Yeah, it's like you grab a bunch of people doing quick matches
and you just put them together and say,
you guys can now fight each other.
It's a little bit better than Mortal Kombat.
It's like, hey, let's put little theater vignettes
over your watching and have people cheer on.
Remember that shit?
No.
No, because no one played Mortal Kombat.
Because it never worked.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's right.
So that was the other good thing about Mortal Kombat X.
Started to segue.
That's cool.
Ed Boone's like, we're finally, since Game Spy,
no longer exists.
Yeah.
That's not going to be running our fighting game
online.
And everyone was like, woo!
Is it going to be Gigi Pio?
I don't know what it's going to be.
They haven't said it yet.
It should be Gigi Pio.
Does Ed Boone know what Gigi Pio is?
I'm sure he does.
I'm sure he knows what it is.
Yeah.
If like someone.
Okay, does Mike Boone know what Gigi Pio is?
And the answer is yes.
I think one of the cannons probably got in touch.
I think so.
Yeah, maybe.
Also, we do have confirmation that Ed Boone likes the idea
of a predator appearing in the game.
He likes the idea.
That really felt like I'm going to put this out and then
see what the reaction is.
Saddle Pressure Fox to do it.
But at the same time, it's a tweet, right?
Yeah.
And Ed Boone has tweeted a lot of things.
Did you know that there are still secrets in Mortal Kombat 2
that people haven't found?
What a bunch of idiots.
Yeah, I watched Max's video about that.
I'm sure one of you guys must have watched it too.
And the thing about it was like, yeah, oh my god,
holy shit, that's totally possible.
And I was like, wait, no.
Fuckin' Freddy was owned by New Line,
which is owned by Warner Brothers.
That's why that happened.
Yeah.
Warner Brothers has no association with Fox,
which owns a predator.
Well, they could hang out.
They could hang out.
They could cut his fucking Cyraxin Sector.
We're modeled after the predator.
It's very clear that they were.
Yeah.
But then he turned into a black guy.
I would fucking...
No, he was always a black guy.
No, Cyrax was a black guy.
Yeah, I know, but they took the costume off
and you could see it now.
Yeah.
Yeah, he was cooler than he ever was in the costume.
I would fucking freak out a predator.
Predators in other games, they called Judy,
whatever, but in a fighting game,
I want to see those fatalities.
Did you know that the original predator
was supposed to be made by?
Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Of course.
Oh, Injustice Mortal Kombat Connection.
It looked super shitty.
That original costume looked like goddamn fucking shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaking of which, did you see those,
that reunion of Mortal Kombat actors?
Yeah.
Fucking Johnny Cage looking well old.
And everyone else looked great.
Dude, how hot was Carrie Hoskins?
Man, you told me you looked better.
Yo, we need to revive the Carrie Hoskins
appreciation thread.
You remember that shit?
Yeah, higher voltage.
Back on higher voltage.
We posted on this old fighting game program.
Jax was still buffing shit.
Yeah.
And I was doing that playing Kato.
It looked like Kato.
It looked like a super battle.
I want to tell the story.
Matt and I, we posted on this old fighting game forum
that was really isolated and hilarious.
Right.
Just a bunch of fuckers.
And someone made the Carrie Hoskins
appreciation thread.
Nice.
And she was like, you know,
an aging mom that was bored and kind of tipsy one day
and decided to Google her name
and found the thread and started talking to us losers
and shit.
That's fucking weird.
Yeah.
Like, Sonya was like, oh, there's people that like me.
Oh, wow.
You know, and we're like, oh, my God, it's her.
And she had a beef with someone, too.
No, she didn't have a beef, but like the main guy was an
evil meal that was like the main moderator.
And she was like, everyone's like, oh, you've got to meet
Neil.
He's obsessed with you.
And then she started posting like little like, like cam
photos of like, hi, Neil.
Kiss, kiss.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that's beef.
That's beef.
That's beef.
That thing was amazing.
And all it did is like comments on any site that was like,
why haven't they done another game in this style?
It'd be so good.
I totally buy that.
And I'm like, remember they tried and then they just
didn't.
Well, they gave us that shitty HD production.
How massive would the sprites have to be?
Well, I don't know, but they tried.
And then there's the footage of it.
Ask the guys who made Death Cargo.
Quote unquote.
Yeah, Death Cargo.
Did that ever come out?
No.
I don't know.
Death Cargo is a new gen, old style, made,
moral combat game.
You can find tons of videos and matches on YouTube and it
actually looks kind of dumb.
Oh, like photosprice?
Yeah.
Oh, geez.
And when it cuts, when it cuts, it does a fatality.
It just zooms in and it cuts to the actors.
Just do it like, they cut to a movie.
A movie.
And they're awesome with like, really cheesy special effects
where a guy like blows over another guy's head.
Or tears his face off.
Tears his face off.
And then they use like practical, like rubbery things that look
so awesome.
Death Cargo.
Check it out.
This is the MKX Scorpion's Fatality.
It's the one that was not in direct footage, but it was only
captured on the head.
Sure.
What is it?
I saw one Scorpion fatality.
Is there one when you have one?
The one in MKX that like, it was only on one feet or whatever.
It's pretty brutal.
Is it the one where he puts the head again in the tree?
No.
No.
So he does a fireball that blows a hole through you.
Yeah.
And then your heart drops down in the middle of the package.
I saw a bit of that.
And then like, while you're stumbling forward, he cuts the
front of your face off and it peels off and you drop on the
ground and then the split brain slides out of your head onto
the ground.
Wow.
So that's cool.
That's really cool.
Yeah.
That's cool, but I'm not a huge fan of when they use an iconic
character that has a specific power set and have it just
random gore.
I'm using this to random gore.
You know, like it's cool.
And for maybe a new character that we don't know, like what
their deal is, it's fine.
Yeah, I know what you mean, thematic.
Like Sub-Zero.
Sub-Zero does the same thing.
He like freezes your stomach and punches through you, then grabs
your spinal cord and then pulls you up and snaps it in two and
uses that to pull.
That's a part of all of it.
But Scorpion just slashing your face and it's cool.
It's a fireball.
Because remember in Mortal Kombat 90, that cool fatality where you
use portals and hung you with this thing.
That was like neat.
And I remember you, Pat, telling me that you're like, it takes
you a second to understand exactly what happened.
And you're like, oh, that's cool.
But they need every excuse they can to show you that they know
the brain, body, organs.
But since that game looks like it has like 25 fucking characters,
there's more than enough opportunity.
Certainly.
Maybe the fatality is real.
And that's fatality one of three.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
All right, let's just jump right into this.
Actually, hold on.
Am I going to finish my week?
Are you going to get to talk about his week?
You said nothing.
I already did.
You said it sucked.
You played small girls.
Yeah.
And then I wanted to talk about Divine Divinity, which is fantastic
and has one of the weirdest co-op implementations I've ever seen
in my life.
It's a classic.
Did you do two weeks this week?
What?
No.
He asked you how your week was, and you said it sucked.
And then I remembered that there were things I wanted to talk about.
That's you being stupid.
I am stupid.
You're stupid.
I learned it from watching you.
I did learn it from watching you.
Your mother taught me how.
Anyway, the point is, it is a fantastic old school isometric RPG.
Baldur's Gate?
Yeah, very Baldur's Gate.
It is the weirdest game I've ever seen.
There's a lot of games like, let's say, RE5 has co-op,
and there are things that are changed in the single player because of that co-op.
So you always have Sheva, right?
This is like that.
You always have to have your two main characters that are created at the beginning of the game.
But they wanted quest solutions in co-op.
They didn't want it to just be whoever gets the quest,
whoever first gets to decide every single thing as to whether to kill the guy or not.
So they have a system in the game in which the two characters can argue.
And when they argue, you use your persuasion or charm or intimidate things against the other player.
And then if you reach an impasse, you have to play Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who is correct.
And it will wait the points accordingly.
So that's really interesting in co-op.
But in single player, that mechanic still exists, but you just control both sides.
That's weird.
So I ran into a guy and some sand guards has come with us.
And with the first character, I said, sure, why not?
And the second one, the text says you can role play your characters, right?
So I say, okay, the second guy will be a dick.
And then I end up arguing with myself.
And then I lost my own Rock, Paper, Scissors.
And got the quest outcome I didn't want.
Good work.
Well, that's what you get for role playing a dick.
I guess it is.
I just want the message because it's so bizarre.
And the other situations, that's what we put up with.
To turn that whole thing off or to make it so that your character is just loyal and will just do whatever you want.
Right.
Just like, yeah, we're going to do this.
Because they have the option, I guess.
It's just so weird.
The other thing I started to do is I started to watch Shield.
Which I heard people comparing.
I hear good things about you.
So I watched the wire.
I missed the wire.
And I just rewatched the wire again.
And so I look online and it's like, I finished watching the wire.
And up comes a bunch of recommendations and want to lose the shield.
So like, fuck it, I'll do it.
I'm shocked that this show is talked about in regards to the wire.
Maybe because it was airing simultaneously.
No, it came out way before the wire.
Because it's a lot closer to breaking bad in tone.
It's not a case study with 100 characters.
It's you have your one main character and that main character is a piece of shit.
A corrupt cop.
Let's follow them on.
Right.
And let's just see how they go from that.
It's about corrupt cops.
And like in the very first episode, the guy kills another cop.
Officer corrupt.
Like in the very first.
And they take that concept really just fun places.
So the storyline, I was telling you Matt about this and Liam, you walked in.
It's one of the storylines of one of the seasons.
It's a great plot line.
You would appreciate this because you've laughed about the real life version of this in a lot of cases.
They go to bust a gangbanger at his house.
Guy runs out the back, picks up a thing in the dark.
They shoot him.
Shit, that wasn't a gun.
That was a carton of cigarettes.
So they drop a gun on him.
There you go.
Right.
Sprinkle some crack.
So that's, yeah, they're corrupt cops obviously.
Obviously they're like, oh, what am I going to do, man?
Put the gun on him, right?
But then they take the story like a whole step further where the guy survives.
Step one.
Step two.
Step two, they interview the family.
And the dude used to, it's not the guy they were looking for.
It's the brother of the girl that was in the house.
And he used to be a gangbanger, but now he's on parole and he's reformed.
They're like, oh, he's probably still a dirtbag.
So they call us parole officer and he's like, yeah, he's a saint.
He's never missed a meeting.
He teaches at a workshop on how to get out of gangs.
And so they start freaking out.
It's like, oh shit, this guy's actually really good.
But now the gun is in evidence.
Yeah.
And now the storyline is about how do we steal the evidence that we planted to get this guy out?
It's fantastic.
I love it.
Okay.
But it's no wire.
All right.
It's no wire.
But I've heard good things.
To the point where it got a PS2 game.
And you'll know it soon enough.
That being said, like seeing the thing as a dirty cop is weird.
Or the commish.
Or the commish, yeah.
It's fucking weird.
See, that's what I did with my wheel.
Cool.
That older game you were talking about actually reminded me.
The older game.
It's brand new.
That came out last week.
The older style.
The older style game.
Yeah.
It reminded me.
I was talking to James Small.
Yeah.
And he mentioned that like, he's listening to like the Pacific Room 2 discussion and whatnot.
And he's like, he said, I would want Pacific Room 2 to be like an ex-com style game.
Oh, that'd be fucking kick ass.
And like, you would have to monitor kaiju attacks.
And when your resources are super limited.
Research mech parts.
But that's what the threat is always increasing.
You remember it was that evil board of directors.
Like we're not happy with how the.
Yeah.
And that's a mechanic.
An ex-com game.
But after the events of the first game, they got indefinite funding.
Yeah.
Like, yeah.
And like build up your base and all that.
Honestly.
Only I had the fuck on me.
Have you played ex-com?
I haven't.
You should.
I know, I know.
Ex-com kicks ass.
And you should play it and just pretend.
Well, I told him like, dude, that's an amazing idea.
Like, that'd be the coolest fucking thing.
It'd be fucking awesome.
Man, old genres are back now.
Fighting games are back.
Obscured, like computer RPGs are back.
Point and click adventures are back.
I still want Syndicate.
You got it.
You got Syndicate.
You got it.
Thank you.
Did you enjoy it?
Thank you.
It's got dubstep in it.
Did you hear it?
I'll let you listen to the dubstep.
Hey, at least logo was cool.
It was a great logo.
Yeah.
The style was cool.
The tap style.
The cover was nice.
So I snickered for a bit because I looked down on my phone and someone on Tumblr asked
me a question.
That's not the thing, but his name is ass juice supreme.
Ass juice supreme messages me all the time.
That guy's amazing.
It's hilarious.
It's hilarious.
Yeah, yeah.
It sounds like some really bad dish you get at Dairy Queen.
Oh, and the best one.
It's something you get at some restaurant where they always make it too spicy.
And you know, it's like, oh boy, ass juice supreme.
It tasted twice.
Not a fan.
It tasted twice.
Not a fan.
This is really watered down.
Yeah.
Speaking of tasting it twice, who's going to...
What?
What is this one?
I get where it's going.
Let him go.
Let him go.
Who's going to pay up for the more expanded content in Mighty No. 9?
Not me.
Not me.
No?
Why not?
Why not, folks?
Because I wanted a game.
I wanted a game.
What is the expanded content?
Animated series, maybe?
No.
Not up here.
I just want a game.
I paid my money.
Yeah.
But I mean, he was very clear on, like, I don't expect people to play it at the same time.
So it turns out.
So please explain what this is exactly.
That's why I'm not super certain.
All right, let's do it.
So Mighty No. 9 bonus campaign and animated series announced.
Basically...
Completely separate from each other.
Yeah, KG made a little video and he talked about how one...
Did he fade out?
Yeah, no, he didn't die.
He's still here.
You had a really intense reaction though.
Yeah, yeah.
Because you're still phrasing it like, no, don't die.
He may have died.
This money will keep you alive.
So...
You're like Magic Johnson.
Yeah, he basically...
Man, I love Mega Man.
Yeah.
Yeah, we all do, man.
That's why it's so sad.
But they talked about when a studio got in touch with them that wanted to make an animated series
and they showed off the little trailer.
Yeah.
For what that's going to be.
2016.
Aimed at kids, you know?
Yeah.
He does a little X with his hands thing.
Yeah.
You know, like the Super Japan movement.
Yeah.
You know, whatever.
We'll see how it is in 2016.
Man, you know.
Yeah.
Good on them.
You know.
Someone's trying to do a thing, whatever.
And the other thing is they're making a bonus campaign on Kickstarter to...
PayPal.
Is it just on PayPal?
It's Kickstarter, I think.
Is it actually Kickstarter?
I think it's actually...
Oh, wow, I didn't know.
Okay, sorry.
Anyway, it's, you know, crowdfunding for exclusively just the bonus content.
Not any of the stuff in the game that's already been talked about.
What do you mean by the bonus content?
I love stretch goals.
No, it's basically...
It sounds like they're...
That's the thing.
They're being kind of mysterious about it.
So they didn't...
One of the things that one of the stretch goals listed is English voice acting.
Right?
For the main game.
For...
I would assume so.
But like, it sounds like they have some ideas for bonus content they want to make.
And the 3.8 million was not enough to cover that.
So this is a second campaign being made to just raise that money.
So that's weird, because other people have done campaigns where, like, afterwards they'll
be like, hey, we had two stretch goals to go.
Yeah.
If you guys can PayPal us the money over the course of the next two months before everything's
locked down, we can do it.
But this is not that.
This is just bonus.
That's weird.
Because why not just release the game, make money, then use that money to make bonus DLC,
bonus content.
Well, they won't work on that.
I don't know.
I mean, that's the thing.
It's like, well, the first thing that comes to mind is like, when you blow that far past
your goals, that you'd have enough to cover that.
But usually what we know what happens is they change the scale over scope of the game based
on getting that.
And that's why Wasteland 2 in Eternity isn't out yet.
And what is coming to light a bit now, though, is also that it seems like some of this second
campaign was based on some people getting in touch saying, hey, we want to hit some,
we want rewards, backer rewards that we missed during the initial campaign.
And so like that...
Because they didn't keep a thing open.
Exactly.
So it seems like some of that as well was like people just going, I just want to pay for
a higher reward to get the soundtrack and a pre-order thing.
And so they reopened some of that as well.
The structure's a bit weird, for sure.
As long as they're being straight with it, and I sincerely hope they are, then it's
OK with me.
But I'm not going to put it in any way.
I'm not going to put it in any way.
I'm perfectly happy with how much I put in.
That's it.
That's it.
Yeah.
You know, I would like to think that no matter what happens with that, like the $3.8 million
game is going to have tons of good stuff in it.
It should.
And it's a shovel knife.
It's fucking excellent.
Exactly.
Fraction art.
And that's what I'm looking for.
Man, those two are going to be compared to each other till forever.
Yeah, probably.
Oh, man.
They're like sister Mega Man games.
Oh, man.
Shovel knife's so good, though.
It is, Greg.
Like, I'm like, like, what?
Shovel knife's so good, though.
Like, what if Mighty No. 9 just isn't as good as Shovel Knight?
Well, that'd be just sad.
The mechanic is kind of different enough.
Yeah.
All it's going to come down to is level design, really, I guess.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And boss fights.
We're going to have to see.
But that being said, I would like Mighty No. 9 to become a big, nice...
Absolutely.
...long-standing franchise.
I think it's pretty clear that's what he wants to do with the cartoon, you know?
Yeah.
I guess he probably wants this to be the backbone of Concepts, Mighty No. 9.
Like, I think I could be totally.
What's the naming convention of sequels to that to get him to be?
Well, Mighty No. 9 is because he's the ninth one.
Yeah, the heck is the guy.
Probably just subtitled.
Mighty No. 9, one.
Mighty No. 9 returns.
Mighty No. 9, X.
But then more robots.
Mighty No. 9, X.
Rise of the Mighty No. 9.
Who knows?
Who knows?
Planet of the Mighty No. 9.
Maybe Dawn of the Planet of the Mighty No. 9.
Planet of the Mighty No. 9.
Yeah.
Who knows?
It'll be fun when we get there.
Mighty No. 9 resurrection.
Or fuck it, just call the second one, Beck and Call.
Beck and Call.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And...
Mighty No. 9 Legends.
Yeah, there you go.
I don't know.
Revelations.
You know what?
That's not he, like, wants to stop him from just making Mega Man Legends 3 with Beck.
Yeah.
Like, at the end of Mighty No. 9, the Beck gets thrown onto the moon.
I was going to say, it'd be even better if Mighty No. 9 ended without that.
And then Mighty No. 9 Legends came out.
And it was just on the move.
And it was just on the move.
Yeah.
You're totally right.
You were 100% right on the move.
Yeah, that's it.
And he's on his way back.
That'd be a good time.
I have to go now.
You know what else would have been a good time?
The fucking canceled WWE fight.
Yeah.
Fuck.
I saw that art of McMahon.
And I was like, oh, shit.
We need to get in touch with somebody and just get a hold of this.
Get a hold of that build.
So there was apparently some game that was in the works in 2011 that was a follow up to
WWE Brawl, wasn't it?
All-Star Star.
It's unclear because you can just judge by the concept art.
Like, I'm not even sure it's a fighting game.
Like, I assume it is.
What?
That's what the post said.
Yeah.
So I linked to it here.
You guys can check it out.
There's a lot of things where the art just speaks volumes.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
And you just see a bunch of wrestlers, Stone Cold and John Cena.
John Cena and Hulk Hogan.
Exactly.
And they look like superheroes.
They look like superheroes in a sort of cartoonized way.
And McMahon is basically in a mech suit.
And he's, it's a battle bot in the same way.
It's a bit like Lex Lex.
Oh, holy shit.
I didn't see the McMahon art.
It's so amazing.
You look at it now.
Yeah, I'm looking at it right the fuck now.
Oh, what's the artist's name?
I can't find it.
It's anyway.
Okay.
Well, in any case, you check this shit out and you just go, God damn it.
That I could have been.
You know?
And you know what?
Let's be real.
It probably wouldn't have been a great fighter.
No, it would have been a great fighter.
But it would have made a great episode of WrestleMania.
Oh, it would have.
It depends on who is actually, you know, obviously being made by it.
Because when I heard of WWE All Stars, I was like, whatever.
It's like, oh wait, these guys worked on like this and this.
I'm like, oh, that could be good.
And then when that game didn't sell that well for whatever reason, and then THQ just
shut down that developer for whatever reason again.
Well, it takes money.
That's the reason.
This is so weird.
Ted DiBiossi.
To build your franchises, you can't just put them in the cell.
Ted DiBiossi, the million dollar man is the only character in all of this art that looks
like a normal human.
Yeah.
He looks exactly the same.
His belt is a little bit bigger.
He's got a little more.
Everyone else has like cyborg shit and shoulder pads and fucking Rey Mysterio, man.
It also really reminds me of that Metallica Twisted Metal game that never came out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I said that.
There was all these character arts for all of them.
You don't remember that?
Yeah.
You don't remember that game that didn't come out?
No, no.
It was just like years and years ago.
Fuck.
It was around when WWE Crush Hour came out and it was like, there was going to be post-apocalyptic
Metallica Twisted Metal game where they have their own.
Yeah.
Damn.
And this and that Lobo game, like all this unseen 64 bullshit going on recently.
Yeah.
I don't like this, man.
I don't like not knowing things I never not got.
Exactly.
Don't tell me.
Don't tell me.
Fuck.
Let the secrets lie.
I'd love to see a screenshot of this game to see what it looks like.
Absolutely.
And speaking of not letting the secrets lie, first hacks for Mario Kart 8.
Oh, yeah.
It's officially done and done.
Good.
Yep.
What are they?
Just did a proof of British guy, just did a proof of concept video showing you that
he sped up the music and changed the text and fonts in the game.
So they're just showing you like, hey, we can do stuff.
We can do stuff.
Yeah.
And more importantly, like we have hacked the Wii U and we're able to do things on it.
We're in there.
We're in there.
Because there was some guys that claimed to have hacked it prior, but I don't think there's
a song about that.
There was guys who said they could, but why.
And that was actually it.
Okay, right.
Yeah, we figured it out, but we're not going to release it.
And these guys with Mario Kart 8 are saying we're not going to do any cheats.
We're not going to do anything.
But they want to do stuff like M+, and stuff like that.
And again, you hear them in the video and it's just a bunch of British dudes just yucking
it up, just going like, shoot, sped up the music, and on and on and on.
What a fantastic.
What a fantastic.
You walk mate, you walk.
I bust your lip.
I swear.
Right in the gamma.
I can imagine playing Mario Kart with a British person.
Imagine playing Mario Kart with a British person.
You hit the guy with like everything you had.
Hey, I'm putting out homework to all the British listeners or possibly UK listeners or British
I'll list.
There's like 10 names for that fucking plug.
Yeah, you're fine.
The first.
What the fuck does proper chuffed mean?
Someone.
Chuffed means happy.
Oh, well, that satisfies.
Proper chuffed means I'm really happy.
But proper can change words sometimes.
No, it doesn't.
Next time you see your mom, tell her that she's a fit bird.
I'm not going to do that.
It means that you really love her.
I told her that.
I'm not going to, no.
Yes.
No, I don't believe you.
Yes, it does.
She's a fit bird, son.
I'd like to snog her.
I know what that means.
Do you?
Get her a nice big hug.
Get her a nice big hug.
She's a hug idiot.
No, it doesn't.
All right, I tried to catch you there.
It means a different thing.
Also going on this week, airtight games shut down.
I guess they weren't so airtight.
Yeah.
Kim Swift didn't think so.
So what do they make?
Quantum conundrum.
They make quantum conundrum.
And dark physics.
And dark physics.
Yeah, I know.
She was gone.
And soul suspects.
And soul suspects.
Did you know?
Was IGN's fault that they closed down?
Oh, shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Find out more on the DSP report.
On dark side Phil's Twitter.
Get an undercover.
Discovering all the truths.
I really, I feel bad for 80% of the studio.
But there's a couple of you guys.
Did you guys see this cover?
Yeah, you guys.
Did you guys see this cover?
Or what?
And you know what?
Apparently the job status.
Check it yourself.
Oh, shit.
But we're being professional, Liam.
We can't get into that.
Watch who's going to stop you.
No one can know.
You burned your bridges super hard.
Oh, man.
Look, it's just apparently some of the guys in airtight back in January.
Supposedly.
Allegedly.
Knew that this was kind of coming type of thing.
Yeah.
And maybe that would explain why a couple of the guys on the team were straight nicks.
We're a bit testy.
Okay, straight nicks.
Okay, straight nicks.
A bit testy.
There were testy nicks.
Yeah, testy nicks.
When it comes to, you know, just saying hi guys.
Just being nice guys.
You know, just being a decent person.
That's the worst kind of thing.
No, you don't want, you don't want testy nicks.
80, 90% of you guys, I hope you find somewhere else.
That was other guys.
Other guys.
Yep.
Keep testing.
I was about to say they're also really good at studio because they make dark void zero.
But then I actually think it was not them.
That was not them.
That was something.
They make dark water.
They just made regular old perfect flawless vanilla dark void.
Yeah, that's correct.
So airtight, what can I say next?
We barely knew you.
There were also, a lot of the studios made up by former devs that worked on Crimson Skies,
which also shows that.
I'm sure all the talented people will land on their feet.
Do you remember the names, Liam?
Do you remember the names?
Do you remember any names?
Yeah.
I tell.
Okay.
Good.
Good.
Anyway.
So even to move that surprise, no one, really.
I mean, all of this developer that made a game that no one has heard about.
Like, their last, particularly good game was Ooya Exclusive.
Soulfjord.
And it was a good game, but that is telling.
Oh, Soulfjord.
That is telling.
So you had a cool concept.
It's good.
It's out.
It's good.
We need a fart noise machine.
We're not turning into, like, O&A over here.
No.
We want to keep our jobs.
Oh, God.
Anthony got fired.
Oh, boo, fucking who?
Yeah.
I just, whatever.
We had to talk.
I think people shouldn't be fired for shit that happens on their Twitter's.
You are a better man than I, black man defending racists.
Yeah.
Dude.
Like, I'm fine with it as long as it's hilarious.
So remember at our old work.
My favorite comedians say nigger all the time.
It's as long as you're funny.
Right.
That's fair enough.
I don't think that Twitter tiring was particularly funny.
Yeah, because he's familiar with his other things.
Remember at our old work, a guy got fired for saying something on his Facebook and then
he got super hard fired?
Yeah.
And I, for one, I brought out the bubbly because I hated that guy.
I went over to your place and you two were drinking champagne and it was firing.
Because that guy was a huge asshole.
And his, he straight up broke law.
Insightment to violence.
Insightment to violence against a political figure.
Get out.
Get out of here.
But he maintained that when he got fired, he was like, I shouldn't have got fired for
that.
That was on my personal Facebook.
And then the response is, what are you, stupid?
But the cops were able to come to his work to say, who the fuck is this guy?
And call our boss here.
Call his boss because on his Facebook it says, I work for so-and-so.
Yeah.
So you didn't get fired for your statement.
You got fired because the cops dragged you out.
You know what I'm saying?
Canada is different from America.
We don't have freedom of speech.
We have freedom of expression.
And I believe actually some of our hate speech laws.
I believe some of those got struck down recently.
Because that's why Ann Coulter was blocked from going to the speech.
That's why M&M had trouble getting into the country in his early career.
Because we wouldn't let him in.
Ann Coulter, my favorite rubber glove stretched over a skeleton.
Oh, wow.
We're not going to top that.
Yeah, that's great.
You want to go back to video?
I guess so.
Although you should check out some of the interviews with Ann Coulter talking to Anthony
from Ohio.
That's what I'm saying.
Awesome.
They're great.
How about that, Obama?
Yeah, let's just go right back to video games.
Yeah, yeah.
It's safe there.
It's safe zone.
It's warm.
It's squishy.
Yeah.
Being in the kangaroos pouch.
Not as much saliva though.
A lot more than you could.
Damn it.
I should have gone with you.
It's a good time.
But not for the Europeans though.
Because Miss America decided they're going to start charging them way overpriced.
On the Miss America store.
That's the kind of shit that used to happen like 10 years ago.
A long time ago.
Back in the leaks.
And it is blowing my mind.
It's a noxious thing.
So this is the...
Nipponichi software.
Nipponichi software.
Yeah.
They decided that when they made the U.S.
It's Miss America that's making a store for Europe.
Yeah.
And they just translated the American dollars into British pens.
Into British pounds.
Or is it euros?
Into pounds.
They're not in euros.
They print them a little but they're still absurdly old.
And shipping is like 20 pounds if you're anywhere but the U.K.
So Disgaea 4 goes $134.
$59.99 U.S. to $59.99 pounds.
Which is like three times as much.
It's 30% more at least.
It's crazy.
So we're going to sell a lot of niche Japanese software, huh?
Are we going to get popular?
So I saw people charge super much.
I bet you they'll fix this within a month.
I saw people doing the math.
I see a lot of people complaining.
It is dramatically cheaper to just buy it from the States.
Guess what though?
What?
The American store no longer ships to the U.K.
They would be done with their own dumb agenda to not make that well.
It's the leak saying thing once again.
Yeah.
Well I bet Play Asia and Amazon will help you.
Maybe the PlayStation store.
Maybe.
And they actually got a comment out of them.
All I hear when I see shit like this is go digital.
Yeah.
We want you to go digital.
You really should be going digital you guys.
Like for fuck's sake.
If you haven't fucking done it already, look at this shit now.
And digital is not perfect by any means.
Like the prices on PlayStation Network did go up when the Canadian prices were low.
Also why don't you go buy that Ultimate Marvel?
Yeah.
Exactly.
So no, they actually got a comment out of them.
And they said that like...
Was it each shit you wrote?
We're aware that some customers have been importing and loving these limited edition
products in the European region.
The goal of our European store is to provide these limited edition products
for more efficient shipping.
Fuck's sake.
There have been difficulties with the launch of the new store.
Yeah.
And we understand that some of our consumers have been having troubles with this.
But ultimately this is...
Troubles isn't...
I can't afford my rent because I bought this fucking disguise again.
This has a little Aetna figure.
But they're basically saying this is for the best.
Well, let's see.
Like the response is just nothing.
I bet there are some Australian listeners hearing this going,
Yeah.
Yeah.
What a bunch of people.
It goes Australia.
Australia has that shit happening all the time.
It's just straight converted.
Yeah.
And they get fucked on everything.
Well just wait till they start moving the decimal point over.
Someday.
Why did I do that?
Why is it gotta be like that?
We can come down to 10 at 2,000 yen becomes 2,000 dollars in there.
You're right.
Yeah.
Fucking millions.
That's how you make money.
Yeah.
Like I don't get that.
Or you can make money by just stealing it from your mom.
I don't...
Yeah.
I don't get this at all.
Steam has shown with opening up in new markets like Russia
that if you price...
Like say the region you're putting your games out in
doesn't have a lot of disposable income compared to some Western countries.
So Russia's a good example.
Russians don't have as much money for video games as people in the UK.
Right?
So you price things accordingly.
And you take money and take it from piracy and put it into sales.
So shocker the idea of you should price things accordingly to a region
as to be a fair competitive price for your product.
Yep.
You get money.
You get business.
I don't think NISS America is one of those places that that forward thinking
they just want to make money.
I think they were like well it's the only thing we're selling on this
that sells these weird collectors editions and these people will buy it
no matter what.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Derpegs.
Off to eBay we go.
Off to HiHo.
HiHo.
Well the only thing I can think is how low are the sales of NISS products
in Europe of the limited edition variety that they have to price them this high.
But not low enough that they're not making this store.
Yeah.
It's weird.
Like there's enough demand.
I don't know.
Who knows.
Who knows.
We can justify it if we gouge the shit out of them.
Yeah.
So you used to go back to the transition that was made earlier.
Matt you sent me a story earlier about stealing money from your mom.
Yep.
Don't steal money from your mom.
Yes I remember sending you a story but you got to give me more info.
Candy Crush.
Candy Crush.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Geez.
You want to go into it?
Yes.
I said this to you a while ago.
Yeah.
It was just a thing about apparently this lady that was taking care of her sick mom
got caught stealing like $2,000 from her over time.
This is very common.
And it was all for Candy Crush.
This is extremely common.
And it just makes you kind of think like is that what a whale actually is?
Yes.
That's a whale with a killer instinct.
No.
You know what a whale looks like?
Like that kind of scrawny guy smoking a cigarette with a ball cap on at the video
program machine.
Yeah.
That's what it looks like.
That's a whale.
And I don't mean like the ball cap and the cigarette.
I just mean that.
Yeah.
It's compulsive gambler.
It's fucking horrible.
It will rob the fed.
It's like drug addicts.
But it just happens to be gambling more Candy Crush.
Yeah.
Same difference really.
Yeah.
No.
And it is sad.
Apparently they settled it out personally but like it's still terrible.
Yeah.
I'll whoop her ass.
You hold her down.
Yeah.
The judge is like I got this brother.
Why is the judge called Candy Crush?
I've been watching.
Okay.
This is a side.
This has been like going on for like two, three weeks now.
I haven't brought up yet in any video.
But like did you know that Matthew just keeps the whole archive of Botchimania up on the
site?
And that if you just want to watch all Botchimanias, you just watch all the Botchimanias.
Just all of it.
Where?
At Botchimania.
Just right there.
They're all there.
They're all there.
All right.
And so you watch like 150 of them and I don't know what wrestling is supposed to look like
anymore.
Yeah.
I don't know what a hard runner is supposed to look like anymore.
Because you watch so many of them.
I don't know what a good pro is.
And just it's like just brother and just all this weird shit is just starting to slip
into my language.
We've been better to watch all that stuff when we're actually doing WrestleMania.
I know.
Because we only watch like the occasional Botchimania.
Well this was before I started watching The Shield.
I'm like I'm bored.
What am I going to watch?
Oh crap.
I'm 180 deep into Botchimania.
180 deep.
Well maybe that amicable like out of court settlement can happen for Lindsay Lohan and
Rockstar.
One can only hope.
What?
What?
What?
You want to hear about this?
Lindsay Lohan was taking a picture of herself with her fruit phone within the bikini.
Lindsay Lohan was like that's me.
That's you 20 years ago before the crack.
Exactly.
And she's suing Rockstar.
She's suing Rockstar.
Yeah.
And she was like.
And Rockstar laughing?
Yeah.
Well Rockstar was like who?
Yeah.
Who?
Apparently like because there's the mission as well in the game with her and like they
go from like you have to drive her to her house and she makes all these jokes about
copyrights.
Does anyone see Jonah Hill suing anyone because he's in GTA 5?
No, but that's him.
He's be voicing the character.
He's actually voicing the character.
Yes.
That is Jonah Hill.
I didn't know that at all.
I never caught that.
I don't think for that.
They'll probably sue.
They'll probably sue.
Yeah.
So now you know in GTA 6 they're going to double down.
Because they don't give a fuck.
Yeah.
But I did watch, I watched the video of her mission just to see I'm like is it a lot
like Lindsay Lohan?
And after watching it I realized I have no idea what Lindsay Lohan is like.
Yeah.
You finished watching the video and you're like I don't know if that's accurate because
I don't follow that guy.
I don't give a fuck.
So whatever.
Machete kills?
Wasn't she Machete kills?
As an actor?
Yes.
I guess.
But as a Hollywood like Madonna.
Oh yeah.
I don't fucking know.
Just imagine like remember Rockstar, like the main Rockstar group that makes GTA 5 is
located in fucking England or Europe.
So.
They're in Scotland.
They're just basing it off what they think.
But I'm just like what do you say?
Your honor we have proof here that this character is mocking the ignorant dumb shit that I say
all the time.
Yeah.
And you know these.
Your honor this character smokes crack.
I smoke crack.
They're fucking.
That's it.
Right?
Yeah.
What's your definition?
You know what I mean?
You smoke crack?
I have rocks in my pocket right now.
You're suing the parody.
Good job Jack McCoy.
You better get thrown the fuck out.
I don't know.
You know what?
You know what?
I think Rockstar has the money to fight this rebel as to lawsuit.
More than she does.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like GTA 5 is on like 37 million dollars or some shit.
It's called Mario Kart numbers.
And it's not Mario Kart.
Fuck it.
Hasty.
Mario whatever fuck you people.
That's not what I meant.
You just think that's what we're making fun of you about.
I can feel my girlfriend listening to this and making the joke right now.
Mario.
She always gets all my shit about Mario.
Speaking of trashy behavior, Suda51 commented on Jiggaloo mode.
Yeah.
A little late to the party there.
Because he got, it was an interviewer that basically got him for a moment.
Even so.
Yeah.
Why is it an interviewer?
So what do you say?
It's basically my life.
No.
He says, he says.
And he's talked about this before.
It's interesting.
It's interesting.
He says that.
He doesn't say what you expect.
Yeah.
Jiggaloo mode, right, was actually beefed up and made more sexualized from what he wanted
it to be.
And he actually had it much tamer in the form of missions in Shadows of the Damned.
Back when, originally, my forgot his name that you're playing.
Garcia Hotspur.
Hotspur was single.
And so you have these women that you could kind of get on and stuff like that.
But you were saying it was way less sexualized and whatnot.
It got translated from there into Killers Dead.
And then Kawa, straight up, they're an erotic publisher.
So they came down to the top of his name next to us.
He says.
What?
They published tons of manga and stuff.
Yes.
Including erotic content.
Sure.
But I mean, like they do a huge, they're not.
Yes.
I know.
But I'm quoting him.
But Liam, if your bar has strippers in it, it's a strip club.
I'm quoting him.
He says the publisher is an erotic publisher.
Okay.
Meaning their content includes.
No.
No.
He just means.
I just want people to understand.
Not only that content.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
You know what he means?
That's so old from software at this point.
Sure.
Yeah.
I expect Dick souls soon.
They're expected.
Boom souls.
They're a huge publisher.
Amazing.
They're worth their money.
They do have.
Yeah.
So he's talking shit about them because they no longer have any contracts with Cataclysm
because they're owned by whoever now.
The order came from the top down to make the game more scandalous.
That's.
That did give it more publicity.
It did.
It certainly did.
Yeah.
It turns out and they further questioned him about it and kind of said like, so are you
saying that like he's like originally he said like, and it was going to be harder to like
get the rewards or whatever things that and the questioner was like, so are you saying
that like by making it harder that makes it less like scummy or whatever.
And he was saying, no, no, like again, I really wanted it to be less sexualized, but I was
told to make it as it was.
The devils were publishing it in Japan.
Right.
Yes, they wanted to get sales.
Yeah.
The buck has been successfully passed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's just, he's like, hey, wasn't me.
I wasn't following on a jiggaloo mode, so I feel a bit rationalized.
It's funny how that goes, you know, because you just, you think of like, like, like, I
don't know, scumbag CEO, porn director guy being like, what the fuck is this?
I can't get off to this shit.
You know, it's also kind of odd because Lollipop Chainsaw is also under the same publisher
and I didn't think there was like much sexual content at all.
Yeah.
But it was a sexy character and it's like, it's the best selling grasshopper game ever.
It's if you're, you're, you're a cheerleader.
Well, no, what I mean is if there's nothing nearly as, as jiggaloo mode.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
As jiggaloo mode.
Yeah.
She has all the sexy costumes of which I am very familiar with, but that's neither here
nor there.
I'm not sad, but like, I really hope that going for, because also I saw an interview
with, with Suda 51 saying, what are you playing right now?
I said, I'm playing a lot of Wii U and 3DS right now.
I'm having a lot of fun with those systems.
I was like, oh, you making a new Nintendo game?
Like No More Heroes 3?
He goes, no.
And I'm like, well, are you making anything?
Let it die.
He's not directing it.
Fuck me.
I can't even wonder if like, what do you, what do you says when he's like, I would have
had it torn down.
You basically get S-links and a killer is dead tight skinned, you know what I mean?
That's what it was.
Who knows?
Cause some of those S-links end with sex.
Do they not?
All of them.
All of them.
All of them.
Right?
One of them starts with sex.
Wow.
Okay.
I'm not there.
Yeah.
Geez.
But like, and in P3 at least, that's like, this is not very failed.
If you want the sex, go with the basketball or he knows what's up.
Oh, I went with the basketball.
He can handle balls.
Oh fuck you.
That's the dumbest joke ever.
Are you just washing basketball and just goes, oh man, I love these balls.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Like after, we're going to finish 9.99 and she came back and she's like, yeah, this
is a really good game.
I really enjoyed it.
She's right.
What the fuck with that elevator scene though?
That's hilarious.
That's hilarious.
And do you remember the elevator scene?
She didn't finish it.
Is that what you're seeing?
No, no, no.
Just the elevator scene is hilarious.
Oh.
Where it's like we're going, the elevator is going down into a wet area and then-
It's a constant double entendre scene.
Oh, okay.
And June is like, oh, I've never-
Sorry.
You know what?
I lost you for a second and I thought you meant she got a bad ending and thought that
was the end.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
She's talking about the elevator scene.
Okay, no, no, no, no.
I know this.
I know this.
I know this.
This is the end.
This is the end.
The elevator scene, right?
Oh, but it's still right there.
It goes on for so long.
It's over the top.
It's like finishing a second of double entendre.
It must have been like a nightmare to translate.
They're looking at it and there's like-
It's like none of these terms mean the same thing in English.
So we have to rewrite the entire scene.
Well, part of a human body is this, like these weird Japanese innuendos.
Yeah.
Knees?
Knees?
Is that a knee?
It could be a knee.
Yo, Matt, you know how we keep finding out that Majesco is still alive?
Yeah.
No, because every time-
We used to die.
We put in a game and then we're like, oh, what a game are we playing?
Even I don't know.
And then I put them in the system and it says Majesco and we're like, what?
And we have a new logo we've never seen before?
Yeah, yeah.
So is it.
It turns out that the way they've been staying alive is-
Yeah, they're so fucking chicory.
So fucking Blackheart's Viper Magic shit, right?
Are you referring to the magic of business?
Yeah.
They have some tricks.
First things first, bullshit stock market news report.
We don't know what the fuck we're talking about when it comes to stocks.
We might be super wrong if you're the guy that knows about stocks.
I know.
I don't like people who wear ties.
Then whatever.
Because like last time I think we were talking about something last week, that was business
oriented.
Exactly.
I shockingly got blowback from bankers.
Exactly.
Right?
Yeah.
So we did.
Shareholders, shareholders.
Show the shareholders exactly.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And they were like, I don't exist.
What's up with that?
So Bullshit Disclaimer alert.
Give me presents.
We know nothing about the NASDAQ or the Dow Jones and we're going in anyway.
Or the Nikkei.
How's he doing?
Or the Nikkei.
Yeah, the Dow Jones is doing good.
Good.
Good.
Good.
However, Majesco has managed to not get delisted from the stock.
And they're always on the verge of getting delisted.
Because if you go under a dollar, then you get put into the penny stocks page or whatever.
And what they did was they did something called a reverse stock split.
Yeah.
Teach Q did this.
Yeah.
You basically...
They combined stocks?
You kind of merge what you have to make the actual stock value go above a dollar to which
your company's actual worth does not increase.
That's funny.
You just consolidate.
Yeah.
That's good.
So the reason why...
Or is it my understanding of it?
So the reason why Majesco continues to gasp along in life is because of this.
It's because they're praying to the old gods.
Because whoever they're...
They're publishing a new game in September or something.
Whoever their businessman is knows what he's doing.
Cooking those books.
Not necessarily.
I didn't say that.
Allegedly.
They're learning the woolly.
Mr. Woolly Madden alleges that Majesco cooks their books.
What do you have to say about this, sir?
They literally are cooking books.
All right.
Well...
They're nuts.
And boiling and then...
Be better than their next game.
Yeah.
They are the cooking mother, guys.
But that's crazy.
Yeah.
I love how much you didn't care about your own joke.
Maybe the story...
I was like, this has no violence.
You threw your own joke under the bus.
Maybe the story coming out will inspire Majesco to give Wayford enough time to make quality
licensed products.
Yeah.
No.
Well, no.
Yes.
That's the right answer.
On what planet?
Like, in what lifetime?
Maybe whatever planet Poochie lives on.
Yeah.
When he finally got back there.
I know what you're looking at.
I can see it.
It's funny stuff because we actually never really quite gave our input on Pac-Man in
Brawl.
Yeah.
No, we didn't.
But the...
Because he's not in Brawl.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
We can smash Brothers 4.
And apparently he was asked to be in Brawl.
In Brawl.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And Sakurai was like, that's dumb.
That's crazy.
Pac-Man is stupid.
Should he get the fuck out of my office?
Right?
But I'm your boss.
Yeah.
No, it'd be Hora.
It'd be Hora to get out of my office.
And then it cuts to Sakurai going, you're letting me go?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know where the door is.
Directly over there.
Right.
And no.
So Pac-Man came up last time around and Shiki just, and actually again, Sakurai just laughed
it off and said, that's crazy.
What are you talking about?
I felt the same way.
And now...
Now that you have a game that has Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man, that's like...
Well, also, Nako Banda is helping make the game.
And you know what?
All the steps how it turned out is that Miyamoto was the one who said, no, put him in.
Yeah.
And then he was like, yeah, that's make sense.
And you know what?
Because Pac-Man kicks ass.
Like, you worry about...
It looks great now, but I was like, nah, even up to his announcement, I was like...
Well, even if Sakurai just set a character name and just left it to the dev team, they
come back with like five versions of him.
That makes sense and works.
Well, see, the thing to me is just like, the quote-of-word, like, trashes all of them.
Yes.
Of course.
Anniversary Pac-Man, the one that's 3D and has arms and legs.
Yes.
Like, he looks like a fucking Frigazoid.
Oh, yeah.
Anniversary.
That's a new design, new concept.
Well, that's why it's good during Pac-Man's special attacks.
He turns into the old school...
To me, Pac-Man is a goddamn pizza with a slice of moussa.
Well, just like...
That's why his special moves are those.
Yeah, they are.
Yeah.
Just wait for Pac-Man Boom, where he's got the bandana and then...
Yeah, yeah, very nice.
Yeah, very nice.
Pac-Man Boom.
That's called Pac-Man World.
Okay, remember Pac-Man 2...
We're describing a thing that happened.
But there was only one sequel to the original arcade Pac-Man.
That was Pac-Man 2, The New Adventures.
The dumb point-and-click thing that was played on Game Center.
Right away.
With impressive animation.
Impressive animation, by the way.
Terrible game, but...
Impressive.
Impressive.
So, Sakurai just basically says, in conclusion, I'll just keep my mouth shut.
That's a good idea.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
So, I think it's neat that he's in it, but it's also kind of like, I would be shocked
if he wasn't, just because of the association.
The legacy that is video games that's happening.
Yeah.
So, because I called Brawl video games the game.
Yeah.
Video games the game.
And now you were wrong.
Now this is how it's video games.
Now it's video games.
Now it's video games.
All you need to do is put Optimus Prime in there and Erato, and you're done.
Yeah.
And I do like the little dating comparison they put between Pac-Man and Mr. Game and
Watch.
You know, I was like, what year?
Who came first?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's fun.
I like the little pairing there.
That's the other thing is that with Mr. Game and Watch being in it, the sort of bars put
that it doesn't matter what fucking character, they can make him a Smash Brothers character.
Yeah.
Even if it's grabbing his old sprites.
Like we made fun of it when Marvel Nemesis was first announced, but they could take
Need for Speed car and put it as a character point.
They could put John Madden in there.
I would love to play as John Madden.
So the first person to get rid of the other person's stocks would be the winner.
No, no, he's got to talk with the Kerbal Space Program modulation and just say his name
over and over and over.
This is football.
You don't mean Moonbase Alpha?
No, I mean Kerbal Space Program.
I only remember...
Where's Moonbase Alpha?
I remember...
You see, I remember...
You might be right.
It might be Moonbase Alpha.
The quotes I remember are from the PC Madden game back in the day where they didn't have
the player names.
So he just said this guy and that guy all the time.
Yeah.
So this guy passed to that guy and he went for the double coverage.
So that's not our only Smash fighting game related news this week, is it?
No, it should be.
It's not?
Do you...
Are you generally confused?
What's up?
Nintendo is a sponsor for Evo.
Yeah, there's an official sponsor.
Oh, I sent you that last night.
As me and Matt predicted.
No, you didn't pretend.
Nintendo always being a strong sponsor.
Been there from day one.
Day one.
Are we just actively rewriting history with lies now?
This is apparently what we're doing, it seems.
No, we called it.
We called it.
So I guess Smash for Buffalo will be an Evo this year.
In some form.
That'd be awesome.
Melee is the tournament, though, that's going on.
It'd be awesome if, like, is the game going to be out?
No way.
No.
Maybe the...
I don't know why...
No, no, no, no.
They should bring a build to Evo.
I'd be shocked if they did.
They had the Smash Invitational at E3, so basically...
They're good for it.
Yeah, they're good for it.
Yeah, no kidding.
They got the game.
I'm sure if they don't, then Willie will then say, oh, they don't care about Evo, then.
No.
Well, nobody cares about Evo.
That's the conclusions I jumped to.
Evo is what you do.
You regularly do.
It's been a long while that they have a character announcement at Evo before the Melee Grand Finals or something.
Can it be...
That's a little much.
Can it be Ryu?
Can it just be Ryu?
Oh, then it's video games, the video game.
Or Hey-Hachi?
Why not?
Why not?
They have Mega Man in there?
Why not?
Because Capcom's already represented by Mega Man.
Okay, fine, put Hey-Hachi in there.
But Namco's already represented by Namco.
That Pac-Man and Hey-Hachi are different characters.
Think of a Konami character.
Snake or Simon?
Right, exactly.
No, I want Snake, though.
I want Simon.
I like Simon, but I want Snake.
Snake or Simon.
I would rather have anything that is cool to Simon.
But that wouldn't be a new character.
So, that's fine.
That's boring.
The Konami logo itself.
Make upon a snake, then.
The bacon strips.
They come alive, and you've got to fight them.
No, it's a different...
What about Kool-Aid Man?
No.
It was a Kool-Aid Man game.
What about Kool-Spot?
Kool-Spot.
You imagined Snake was in, but it was Punished Snake, and as a part during the trailer, he's
just shooting me's.
Like baby me's.
That would be fantastic.
That'd be so good.
Wow.
It's not going to happen.
It's going to burn a million.
So, any other fighting game news this week, Kool-Aid?
Well, there was a bunch of tweets that Natsuma tweeted.
He talked about, is he like, fuck you, there's no patch.
Well, I just want to say, just to answer a couple of people that have been asking.
No guys, sorry, I'm not going to make it to Evo this year.
Once again, boo!
It's one of those things.
I was talking to you.
I was talking to you.
I've talked directly with Conravo.
No, it's like a week before.
It's a week before, but also it's like, here's the thing guys.
He sucks.
Get ready for Johns.
No, but it's just, when I went, I was doing a lot less for the channel, and I was spending
a lot more time entering tournaments, playing regularly, etc.
The fact that you see me a lot more now means I'm not playing as much.
And the trip to go there means I probably won't be able to go to another possible trip
we'll be doing later this year.
Yeah.
You hear that?
That's Johns.
Super Johns.
But I talked to you months ago about it.
I'm done.
I got what I wanted.
Okay.
You think we could go and just like, have a scrub lord side, tourney, do something stupid.
And then you kind of rationalize it, like, if we're going to go, it's like, you got to
make it worth it to actually play, like, do an tournament and do okay.
Yeah.
Because it's a lot of money to go.
Like, yeah, you're right.
Exactly.
Here's footage of Matt and I getting blown up in the selection round of the tournament
by Viye and Sanchez.
That'd be insane if he got invited to do bone nudge nudge.
That would be cool.
People don't get invited to do bone nudge.
No, they don't.
Poonco's not going this year.
Yeah, but if we're not there to play, we're there to goof around and bring the masses
to Evo.
Exactly.
No, but it's not just that, but it's also like, last time I went, I got to like finals
of my pools.
If I don't get to do that this time around, it's like, it's just not worth it.
You're regressing.
Yeah.
After the Diego match, I, you know, whatever.
So, blah.
Leave on a high note.
Exactly.
And I'm out.
Just answer.
I'm out.
I'm getting by a well-known player.
And, and, and then, and not getting into the, not breaking out of pools.
Yeah.
But I got to cool people.
Almost.
Also, you got to pull the video out of it.
Yeah.
No, 24, remember?
Yeah.
You're like 35.
Right.
I can't, at least.
The reflexes aren't what they used to be.
Man.
Oh God, I just realized.
You want frame lengths?
What are you talking about?
Cause I know myself and I know I'm not smart enough to stop saying that joke ever.
So when you are like 35, I'm going to say it and you're going to look at me and go,
you're 35.
I'm going to cry.
Yes.
Yes, you are.
Well, he's just cooking that one up.
But as I was saying, um, yeah.
Seven years in the banking.
Get ready.
It's, it's not so much news.
It's just tweets, you know?
Any other funny games this week?
Um, tweets are like totally hitting at something.
Hold on.
Let me get, let me get like these.
A bunch of people asked him about, you know.
And they only have 140 characters.
Capcom shit, right?
Right.
So they're like, Hey, when you feel about the Capcom versus Capcom thing that should totally
happen since you guys have all these amazing IPs.
Yeah.
And he's like, you can get some use out of the ones you refuse to make.
You can do a roster of hundred Capcom characters.
Easily.
Like there are so many.
Easy.
Like I said, best roster next to Nintendo.
Best table.
I'd say they have more than Nintendo.
I'd say they, I'd say they have more.
But some of the Nintendo's are a higher profile.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Powerhouses.
Um, he said, I'd love to work on it and I would love to be involved in the project
if it ever happens.
So those are tweets of a defeated man who has nothing going on.
I pitched this last night.
Hey guys, please take the DC license from Netherrealm and make it.
I love that.
Steal the license.
That's not how it works.
The consumer replies, great idea.
I would love to make that as Capcom next time.
I'm sure Warner Brothers would love to give up the Batman license that they own, right?
That they own, that like they own it.
Like they can't just give it away.
They have the Batman license so hard they can make other non-Batman Batman games.
Exactly.
And CPS3, Rival Schools 3, anything, anything, not at the moment.
He's like, God ask the smoking crater that is SNK's offices.
There's never going to be an SNK.
Why is there a smoking crater?
I don't know.
There's never going to be a Capcom possessing cave.
Smoking implies that the heat was recent.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's rumors about.
Yeah.
The SNK just registered a trademark for King of Fighters.
And apparently one of their old producers just went back to work for them.
And like it makes so much sense to just reset and get rid of that fucking number.
Well also, because this year would be a dream match, so that'd be a good time to just do
whatever.
I don't mind.
Yeah, I guess it would be.
No, it wouldn't.
2K3, 11, 13.
12 was a dream match.
12 was not a dream match.
To be frank, to be frank, in their situation it doesn't work.
How was 12 a dream match and 13 was not?
Because they broke the tradition with 12 because they had no time to finish the story
in shape.
How was 12 a dream match?
Because there was no story in it.
It never happened.
Nothing happened.
Yeah.
But it wasn't a dream match.
It didn't have the roster of a regular game.
There's a difference between dream match and being a bad fighting game.
No, but what I mean is story canon wise, 11 was followed up with the events of 13.
Either way.
Yeah.
It goes 2K3, 11, 13, dream match.
That's how it always goes, 3 storyline games and then dream match.
But since 12 took the place of the dream match?
But dude.
No, 12 doesn't take the place of the dream match.
But it was a dream match.
Irrelevant of which is which, based on SNK's situation, now might be a good time to just
fucking do it.
It might be a good time.
It might be a bad time.
Just give us that maximum impact 3 that we all crave.
Just give us Adelhide back and I'm happy.
Or Oswald Edition.
All characters are Oswald.
Adelhide, Oswald, Geese, Dream Match.
I'll take Rock instead of Geese.
It's a dream match.
Who cares?
Move on.
I'll take Geese and Rock.
Unknown and K49.
Yeah, do it.
K49 might be a little expensive.
I can't wait for us to eagerly await this brand new Pachinko game.
I know.
Someone's always got to bring it back down to reality.
Yeah.
It's a fun game.
Any other fighting games this week?
You want to talk about Dengeki Bunko?
No.
Sega Sammy.
Because you're really himself.
Maybe someone's title is being birthed in North America under night?
Oh.
Under night.
Under night and birth is coming in North America.
Yeah, that's the news I scrolled by.
Why?
It's my fucking French bread.
They're great.
To be fair, I don't know what that game is at all.
My mouse wheel.
I went to Dengeki Bunko before that.
I fucking hate the name more than anything.
No, I think it's because his interest lies in the margins.
Both margins.
Also, like, the fucking way it looks.
What's the name of this?
Under night in birth.
In birth.
In birth.
In birth.
That is it.
Right there.
Right there.
That is a goddamn awful name.
It's a terrible title.
I thought, and so is Blaise Blum.
Like, the fucking dudes.
It's got almost the, whatever the other princess game is, levels of, like, bad spurt things
happen.
Don't talk about Vanguard Princess.
No, not Vanguard Princess.
He's talking about Phantom Breaker with the fucking hit sparks.
Oh my god.
It's almost there.
Yeah, that looks like Melty Blood.
It's almost there.
Melty Blood's great, so.
Melty Blood is great.
I'm not too, I don't care too much about Under Night in Bath, but whatever.
It is coming out here.
It is coming out.
It's coming out.
Axis is publishing, right?
Axis is publishing.
There you go.
Axis is publishing.
They got money to build.
Nobody cares.
Fighting games are so awesome.
They are pretty cool.
They're pretty cool.
They're a good time.
It's like Chaos Code.
I feel like there was Persona 4 Ultimax news that I had.
Oh, a Japanese cover.
It might be the final cover.
Oh, that's awesome.
I scrolled right the fuck by it, because I'm still on dodge mode.
Don't look at it too close.
I'm on dodge mode.
I'm on dodge mode.
Don't look at anything too close.
No, I know.
But I did see enough to see some, like, a cool thing, but whatever.
Did you see the white jacket for it?
No.
There's a white jacket that has no spoilers, and it's just the sickest picture on it.
Well, it's just you with his belt.
Well, that's, sorry.
That's what I did see then.
I just saw a cool looking picture of shirtless you with a belt, and I was like, that looks
fucking cool.
On the white jacket, there's no character in the background.
I love treating all fighting tournaments as if they were wrestling promotions.
Oh, come on.
I love that.
I love that so much.
What's that cool tournament that that guy hosts, that Jafaeli does?
CEO.
CEO?
The one with the ring and everything.
Yeah, CEO.
Community effort in London.
That's fucking awesome.
Yeah, and you know his real name's Jafaeli, right?
You told me about that.
Did you say Jafaeli?
Sorry?
Did you say Jafaeli?
Yes.
It's Jafaeli.
Oh, it's Jafaeli.
It's Jafaeli because of, you know.
Yeah.
But when you first told me about that, I was like, yeah, that's not real.
And then you go and you watch Mike Ross's wrestling intro as he comes in and gets in
the ring of points and everything.
I feel that.
And then smacks a chair.
I really feel like Friday Night Fist of Cups as good as this intro is.
It could be more.
I feel like, didn't SBO do the ring stuff too?
Super Battle Opera didn't do rings.
They did entrances.
Okay.
With big fog machines.
Yeah.
It's pretty great.
It's pretty great.
Look at that dumb shit.
Yeah.
We'll do like this week fucking Maggo put on a colorful clown wig and shades and now
he's pretending to be DJ 2D God who's like an alternate character of Maggo but nobody
knows it says.
He's part of D12.
He's just, he's like a fucking, you know, like fucking.
And Daigo comes in and his alternate name is like Ask Juice Supreme.
They actually interviewed all the other Japanese players and they're talking very seriously.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah, like, no.
Daigo comes in dressed as a male Valentine, like as a sexy mages.
Right, right, right.
It's what he does on the job.
Yeah.
He probably helps.
That's distracting.
He's a nurse for old people.
No, I mean, if he was dressed all like, slutty nerds at Evo.
I guess.
So you'd have a harder time.
Yeah.
You think you could be the guy that's dressed like Negro?
That's playing Negro?
Do you, do you think, do you think you have the confidence to beat a man willing to play
a fighting game tournament with his nipples out?
No.
Well, funny you say that.
Well, this has happened.
That happened last week.
It did happen last week actually.
What?
What?
Both think there's straight up all the time.
You and I are creating news with our non-sense.
CJ Truth, I think, fought a guy, a cosplayer of Sagat on stream.
Yeah.
And the guy had the white contacts and everything and he had his nipples out and he was playing
and he did the whole stare at him and they had a little like showdown on stage.
It was fun.
You do a laugh.
He got bodied.
Yeah.
The Sagat?
The Sagat got bodied.
His talents lie elsewhere.
Exactly.
Cosplay.
Tiger Neen.
Everyone's terrible.
Terrible.
Terrible.
He can do it.
That guy's light.
You should have.
Did I lose?
Did I?
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
You know what else is fantastic?
Mr. Fantastic?
Letter time.
What?
Whoa.
Whoa.
You're a liar.
You don't like letter time?
No, I'm saying it's not fantastic.
It's stupendous.
It's spectacular.
That's right.
It's real.
It's real.
It's amazing.
It's not real.
These are fake.
It's real.
It's spectacular.
Real letters written by real people.
Why are you making air quotes?
Dear Penthouse, I never thought I'd get this letter.
Dear Penthouse, first time writer, I don't know what your magazine is, but...
I enjoy your articles.
I enjoy your articles.
No, wait.
Never mind.
Hey.
Hey.
Do you want to send us this stupendously fantastic spectacular fake email about Penthouse?
Where should you send that?
You should send it to superbestfriendcast.gmail.com.
Penthouse.com.
No, gmail.com.
Well, if you want, you can send it there, but it's going to be a bad address.
Taylor Zaman's going to come back at you, so you want to send it to superbestfriendcast.gmail.com.
That's the one.
And you might sound something like this as read by Wooly.
I'm so proud I trained you guys.
Yeah, I know, right?
Yeah.
I helped.
That three-hour session was a huge pain, though.
Tristan wants to know, parries are combo breakers.
Parries.
No, no, no.
There's no, there's no discussion here.
Hey, Pat, by the way, you know what I'm saying?
The band has parries.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I didn't tell you in the episode.
No, you didn't come up.
You shit.
But here's also the thing is that games that have parries...
How does it have the balls to give a single character parries?
Because you got to be good.
Yeah, no, it's the same timing.
Yeah.
But Skullgirls is way faster, so you got to be good.
But here's the thing is that most games that have parries, some of them don't even feel
good to do them.
They're not fun to even use that much.
It's Third Strike that's parries are so good where it's like that alone beats combo breakers
in any game.
They feel fantastic.
Yeah.
You can technically do parries in four by using Gen, doing focus and then cancelling
into stance switch.
If you do it fast enough, it acts like a parry.
Let's contrast it, right?
Yeah, cancelling.
Let's contrast that.
Are combo breakers in another game aside from Mortal Kombat 9 or Killer Ink Sting?
Actual combo breakers.
I don't think so.
Bursts.
In animes.
Bursts.
You're right.
That's it.
Because Mortal Kombat combo breakers are crap.
Yeah.
I mean, they're not fun to do.
You mean like stylish like lights.
Well, they're just like strategy wise.
They're great.
In Mortal Kombat, yeah.
You got to spend two bars to do that.
They're useful.
Do that or do a cool parry in Mortal Kombat.
Let's compare the context of both of these.
The Killer Ink Sting combo breaker, which I'm going to assume is your de facto combo breaker.
Yes.
Part of the reason it's fun is because you get a big reaction and the dude screams at
you.
Yells.
Right?
Yeah.
And it totally reverses momentum.
In Third Strike, which I would call the de facto parry, it is a tiny little flash
play animation and a little sound effect.
And it's what you do with it.
That's amazing.
Now the Killer Instinct setup wouldn't work for other games because getting knocked down
for going on the offensive would be a terrible design decision.
KIs balanced around that.
However, any other game where that happens, that'd be garbage.
So another game would actually have to do something significant with either or.
Bursts are great because you get one of them, right?
For every one and a half rounds.
And if you pop it, then you get the guy off of you.
But if you get baited into popping it prematurely, you get blown up.
So it's just like a counter breaker.
It's a perfect combo position.
Yes.
So like there's a Naoto player that does the fucking pro-ration loops that's really good
that I'd fight against.
And like he would know exactly when to drop the combo.
Watch the burst happen and then pick it back up.
And I'm like, you're a godlike.
I can't even get mad at Lizzie tonight.
You know?
So yeah, Paris.
Paris.
No discussion.
Amazing.
Even though we just discussed.
Discussed good bursts, but yeah, Paris, absolutely.
Forget the discussion.
I'd say Paris burst combo breaker.
Sean has been watching a lot of Bachamania lately.
Yeah, you have, Sean!
Am I the only one that unironically would love it if Dusty Rhodes did commentary full time?
No!
No, you're not!
So those videos with Jim Ross narrates video game shit?
Yeah.
That's great, but you could do that with almost anyone.
Yeah.
Like if Dusty did it or Macho did it.
Dusty's insane commentary.
His commentary is my favorite part of Bachamania.
Man, that's one big man, baby.
That is not the Taz commentary.
I can also go for Booker T full time.
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
And he just forgets what's happening in the match.
Those tables!
Yeah, Roddy Piper also.
Yeah, Roddy Piper also.
Jesse Ventura could do it.
Jesse Ventura is fantastic, especially in those times when he wasn't wrestling.
And he was still there, and he dated Vince.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the best time to be doing commentary.
Yeah.
Do you know why Jesse Ventura left WWF?
Because he went crazy?
Because he went crazy?
Because Karp was controlling his brain?
No, because this is way before that.
Because he's a Navy SEAL?
No, it's because Vince McMahon signed an agreement with Nintendo for exclusive rights
to people's likenesses.
No.
But then Jesse got approached by Sega, and Jesse was like, I'm going to be in the second game.
And he's like, no, you're not.
You're breaching contracts with this company that I signed with.
And he's like, well, what are we going to do?
And he's like, well, what we're going to do is fire you, because you fucked everything up.
It's like, you can be Jesse Ventura, but you can't be Jesse the body Ventura.
Yeah.
What tiny details do you just adore in video games, says Solair?
For example?
Stop!
Haha!
That's perfect.
For example?
Well, Solair, you know my answer.
I think it's awesome when you can see visible weapon upgrades, see characters, and hold their
gear visibly, or change it.
In RPGs, I don't get a kick out of it anymore.
I instead get bothered when it doesn't.
Yeah.
Right.
It's really annoying.
Persona 4 does it perfectly in P3-2, where your weapon changes, but your outfit doesn't.
Which doesn't bother you?
No, because the weapons, the character design is not changed by a change in weapon.
Right.
I was just talking about it earlier today, but like, any game that has damage on your
models for no reason, combat, Wolverine, Deadpool, Deadpool especially, I'm not sure
many saw that, but Deadpool is the member.
He's a skeleton when he's about to die.
I wrote an article on this.
You did.
I bet you did.
A while back, talking about just some of this great small details, the fact that CVS-1
has character intros, but before that it has stage intros.
Stage intros.
For every level.
The aces of the galaxy, when you pause it, you get this awesome action-stopping moment
camera rotates, and a piano interlude kicks in.
Yeah.
Right?
A decent title screen, like Xenoblade.
Like there's...
Yeah.
I live for that shit.
My two current favorite are fighting game character-specific intros, of which CVS-2
is the all-time most ridiculous greatest, in which you can just look at a 30-minute
video.
Every variation.
The Rugal cuts, sorry, Gile cuts apart a statue of Gile that Rugal has, is the most obscure
reference to both Rugal storyline and a weird glitch that was only in one version of Street
Fighter II.
In Japan, called Gile's statue.
That is amazing.
Who is that for me?
That's for you.
Maybe for you.
Maybe a hundred guys in Japan.
The guys who go to Evo, and no one else.
Yeah, Mizaki fighting Chun-Li, Han Fu shows up from real bout, and he smacks his ass and
just get the fuck out of here for that one.
So there's character intros, and then there is lavish, like, overdone item descriptions,
like, in the Souls series.
I don't know what else is comparable to the Souls series with that.
With that?
No.
Yeah, well, there you go.
Old RPGs, in which, like, looking at, like, the Taking Guards series is.
These are RPGs where you have no images.
Or no, like, old fallout stuff where you look at, like, a mural and you get, like, a wall.
Cody's super being the glitch that he did in Final Fight.
Final Destruction.
Final Destruction is.
Why?
A detail you daftly left out of your didn't-you-know-gaming.
But the footage kept it in.
Unfortunately.
The footage kept it in.
They showed it.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm thinking, it's like, the one that I really like, I don't know how to describe it, is,
like, perfect reload animations.
Like, RE4's fucking Bolt Action Rifle.
Intense.
And the Red 9 that is impeccable.
A reload animation is something you could just shit out.
Exactly.
I never knew I loved that until RE4 had done well.
Because it was the first time it was done well enough to make people who wouldn't notice
that kind of thing go, fuck!
Like, I don't have any kind of gun fetish whatsoever.
But, oh my god, the Bolt Action Rifle and reload animation.
The Red 9 is not so bad either.
Oh, man.
Killer 7 also has excellent reload animations.
It should.
And they don't just, they don't just incorporate the guns in that one.
Oh, yeah.
You're totally right.
One of the characters you spoke of is legs to reload his gun.
You're totally right.
And Master Smith clicks him up and down.
Yeah, Master Smith has two rocket launchers, right?
And he just grenade launchers.
Grenade launchers.
Sorry.
Yeah, and he just clocks them together.
Like, subconsciously, we think back to fucking Terminator 2 and spinning the shotgun around.
Right?
Yes, totally.
And when that movie came out, the gun reload animation of the day was either games didn't
have reload animations or the gun would move down off to the bottom of the screen and come
back up.
Sure, yeah.
And people freaked out at the Doom 2 double barrel shotgun reload animation.
And they were right shoves.
The two shells.
That has four frames of animation.
It looks great.
But it looks cool.
No, it looks great.
Well, the four frames of animation looks like more.
Actually, you know what?
I was playing Doom 2 like two days ago.
You know what?
More importantly, it sounds great.
Yeah.
It sounds way better than almost anything in the game.
It does the sound and the snappiness of every movement, you know?
Everything sounds heckable.
I also want to give a shout out to Mario 2.
I don't know if you remember this.
I talked to you guys about it a while ago.
When you pause Mario 2.
You mean like the USA one?
Yes, the American Mario 2.
Okay.
That is not Lost Levels or whatever.
The music does not stop.
But the top line, the top instrument disappears and the baseline keeps going.
Oh, that's true.
During the pause screen.
And when you unpause it, it kicks back in.
The music mellows out.
It's great.
It's a great little touch.
I like games where they add a layer of music every time you go down a menu.
Oh, yes.
I can't name one off the top of my head.
Why not a Commando?
Why not a Commando?
That's true.
You fucking start out with the piano.
You get more of it.
You get the blurriness.
Nintendo does that.
Yeah.
We've talked about it before.
But like when you found out that like, yeah, you move in the menus of Killer Instinct and
the sound of it plays the theme song or the layers of music that happen.
If you don't fight, it goes into remixes of the old, like who?
The first thing that grabbed my balls when other Pat told me about it in Persona 3 was
harderist music evolving as you go higher into the town.
You didn't notice, did you?
Yeah.
I didn't know anything about it at the time, years ago.
Okay, yeah.
And he showed me that.
And I went, oh my God.
Every 20, 30 floors, it remixes just a little bit.
But when you go from the bottom to the top, it's a completely different song.
Exactly.
And then we talked just the other day about when you face off against Final Boss and then
you get a nice little-
Persona 3 Final Boss has a theme you have heard the whole game, constantly remixed to hell.
And then you get this guitar riff going on and it's building up to something or not.
This is nice.
I don't know what this is.
And then it kicks in and you're like, oh!
And you wouldn't be familiar.
So good.
I know there's a musical term for this, but I don't know what it is.
But if we're going on the music thing, it is having a primary theme that is remixed according
to context for various situations.
Persona 4 is, to my knowledge, the best one because the core boss theme is I'll Face Myself
Battle.
It's termed battle because there's a different version of the song that is just slow and with saxophones.
But then there is the Final Boss version, which is huge and gigantic.
There is a different Final Boss version, which is grungy and crazy sounding.
And then there is another Final Boss version, which is a fucking rock concert in tone and speed.
And sometimes it can be subtle.
Even The Walking Dead game has a repeating theme that you might not notice, but it only
kicks in at key emotional moments.
And even if you don't notice, it's a really good song.
And even if you didn't notice, your brain did.
Yeah.
Totally.
I'm not sure which of it was first.
It was either Mario Sunshine or Mario Galaxy, where I remember people freaking out that
when you go underwater, the music changes.
That would actually hear it as if you were underwater.
Do you remember if that was Sunshine or Galaxy?
I would imagine it was Sunshine because that was where water was the big deal.
Yeah, me too, but then I was like, I remember a lot of people talking about it during Galaxy.
Yeah, I don't know.
Probably Galaxy.
So a little, I guess my favorite detail is a little detail that didn't have to be there.
Well, that's what they're all about.
But like on a broad thing, it's like, when you look at it, it's like, I would never have
noticed if this wasn't here.
Somebody put extra work, someone just put in the work.
And I noticed it, and I know other people aren't.
Yeah.
And I appreciate it.
What can I just say, like Metal Gear Solid franchise?
Yeah.
The 5000 Easter eggs.
Thank you everyone.
Everyone on this team is going to put something on this game.
And I don't want to know about it.
And you're fired if you don't.
And if I find it, you're also fired.
This is a high stakes programming test.
What the fuck?
That's too much, man.
No.
But could you even say that?
I feel bad for the guy who's like, can I just put a copy of EGM into the game?
It's like, OK, fine.
Can I put the main heroine?
Haya Busta over there, put a fucking vampire minigame in.
But if you just want to put EGM on the table, whatever you say, man.
Can we change this?
Put this Yoshi doll on Hal's computer?
Yeah.
Can we put the main character of Eternal Darkness on this magazine?
Yeah, fine.
If that's still a connight to me.
Whatever, Shiggy, go back to your cave.
He's like, I will.
No, it was Haya Shida's idea.
Haya Shida?
It's always Haya Shida's idea.
I'm going to combine a couple of different people's questions into the same thing.
One super question.
Are you going to combine their name too?
No.
Too much.
No credit for you fuckers.
But people want to know they're like, hey, you guys are always wearing video game t-shirts
and stuff.
A, what do you guys dress like in real life off camera?
And B, where can we get the shirts and stuff?
So one, yeah, we wear these all the time.
That's what we wear.
That's what we wear.
I work for myself from home.
Who do I have to answer to?
Yeah.
Well, like I said, I went to my girlfriend's parents' house and whatever I'm going to wear,
I'm probably going to get a, oh, what's that?
So I just wore a plain black t-shirt.
That's the only time where I'm like, it's going to come up.
I might as well just skip that part.
But like meeting you, meeting other Pat, meeting a bunch of our video game head friends that
we are all, we have this like slow cold war of trying to like out wow each other with
cool t-shirts that are obscure.
I'm wearing a Maximilian shirt right now.
Well, because you finally got on the train after years of just wearing fucking blue button-ups.
Yeah.
I wore just polos and dumb shit because I didn't care.
And then you walked into my house wearing an eternal rival Yori shirt.
And that was the moment that I just snapped.
I'm like, fuck, why are you wearing a Yori shit?
I'm the Yori fan around here.
And you ordered the same shirt.
Yeah.
So we've never worn it together so far.
I'll take a picture when you do.
Fashion mishap has been averted.
Yeah.
If you want to check out cool shirts though.
Oh, you can check out the shark robot.
Shark robot.
Shark robot.
Shark, like I match, this isn't one of our shirts, but I got this attack on Titan.
Shark robot shirt is really good.
From Shark Robot.
And I'm still jealous because I'm like, I can't wear it with you around.
Our shirts are there.
Yeah.
You can check those out if you like.
You're wearing Maximilian's Benny shirt right now.
The dog of hype.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want to put that dog before I die.
You can go to T-Fury, but you know, T-Fury can only offer you what they have for that day.
But occasionally you'll see one that's like, eternal rival has some great fighting game
stuff.
Literally Redbubble has a billion shirts.
Yeah.
Also if you just like a franchise, just put an eBay put shirt and you'll most likely
get me something.
No, my three star Goku uniform was Redbubble.
This Zelda thing I'm wearing now, like whatever.
You just threw it on.
Gangster jacket.
I don't know what you call them.
It's a track jacket.
It's a track jacket.
It's a Russian dirt bag.
It's just okay.
Only with the crucifix.
I don't have the crucifix over it though.
Yeah, it's true.
You're missing the important thing.
The pants too.
And the matching pants.
I got the shit at home.
Who is every Russian villain, a blue guy with a blue and a white tracksuit?
Because that's what they look like.
That's what they look like.
That's what gangsters look like.
It's kind of like how the Afghans in certain Asian countries means you're a badass.
You know, at the end of the day, that's what the hood is made of.
That is, in fact, what the hood is made of.
I bought this fucking hot topic in Burlington, Vermont.
You would!
That's the realest.
Yeah.
That is, oh.
Because there's no hot topic around our car.
That's disgusting, honestly.
Like the combination of things.
That's a lot of stuff.
Hey, I wear sandals when I'm out here.
You've got sandals.
You gave up a long time ago.
They're comfy, so whatever.
No socks with them.
Even in winter.
Nope.
You didn't give up completely just yet.
Yeah, I know.
Give them another three years.
Winchester wants to know how to fix them.
How awesome are my rifles?
That's such a cool name.
It is.
Garbage says Mr. Wesson.
No, he wants to know how to fix the problem of fight stick wobble because he moves too
much and they keep shaking in his lap.
Stop moving.
Stop moving.
We're moving.
The gestures of your hands.
You're doing it now.
Stop it.
I can see you.
Check it out.
Your stick inputs don't need to be that strong.
Does he mention what kind of fight stick he has?
The T.E.
That thing's 10 pounds.
What the fuck are you doing?
He's a strong guy.
He's doing a really heavy sevens or as I would assume.
Or if you're an ingenious type of inventor guy, make yourself some sort of lap type vice
thing that clamps it.
That thing has felt.
When you make a custom stick, you've got to make sure to have some good weight to it.
And if there isn't enough weight, put lead in it.
In fact, one of the big problems with the cheaper sticks I recommend to people is that
they're shit lap sticks.
But these are heavy enough to stick around and not move.
Dude, the T.E. is 10 pounds.
If your stick is moving around, calm down.
Go into practice mode and hold the stick lighter, like looser than you usually would, and just
try to do some movement.
Just relax, bro.
But if that's not working, put felt on the bottom.
Seriously.
Stick it to your ass.
Or just take felt to the bottom and it won't move on your clothes.
Or get a stool or ottoman or something and put it in front of you.
That's the old school arcade style where you hog two chairs for the tournament.
Put your stick on another chair.
But really, sticks are heavy enough now that lap play is no problem.
Or you see those guys at tournaments with sticks that are just huge fucking shits.
Our local guy, one of my friends was also a stick maker, and he would make basically
slicing an arcade cabinet in half.
And that's what you're going to play.
It's like you look at the, what was it, the Hori stuff for virtual fighter, the real arcade stuff?
It's like extra wide.
It's enormous.
Yeah.
Because you were used to that hat when you came from the American arcades, you know.
More heft.
Yeah.
And I left.
Dawes of the Combine.
Wow.
That's a neat name.
Says.
I don't know.
Nothing.
You have trouble there.
A bunch of them, but there was one that I picked out.
Sorry.
Um, first of all, the guy, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Okay.
Yeah.
If you could, if you could Superman punch any celebrity into a large vat of any substance,
what would it be?
And who?
Geez.
Oh, that's, that's a thinking question.
Well, you've had time to think on this.
What are you out of?
I'd punch Macy Gray into a big vat of mail.
Why Macy Gray when she's not even a thing anymore?
Because her sound still annoys me.
Is it, is it straight up the voice just gets you?
I can't deal.
I can't fucking deal.
She says the Lord kisses us in Santa Claus in a graspily rag, whatever voice, at the
end of I try to sing you bad in a joke.
You know that song?
Yeah, I know that song.
It's because I was at fucking the wrong place.
I'm a joke.
I try to walk away and I stumble.
She ruined Spider-Man 1.
And training day.
Oh shit, you're right.
I know exactly who.
I want to punch James Hetfield into a vat of pyrotechnics, okay?
Yeah, good one.
In revenge for ruining every wrestling show in this city.
Okay.
So for anyone who doesn't know, James Hetfield at a Metallica concert stepped in front of
his own fucking pyro and melted himself and caused a forever ban on indoor pyro in Montreal,
which causes wrestling shows to be super lame.
Speaking of which.
To be fair though, there was that horrible incident of the place that had the internal
fire where a lot of people died.
Yeah.
Because of like pirates.
But for a giant arena, it shouldn't be a niche.
Yeah.
He had lightning.
One roll.
The bell center was fine, man.
Speaking of which, Rah was tonight here in Montreal and I tried to get tickets, but shit
was fucking fell through.
You got to try it like way earlier.
Yo, I didn't know.
Because every, listen, I was actually programming with this every couple of weeks.
I would go to www.com, go into the ticket section and search for Canada and see Toronto,
Toronto, Toronto.
And every couple of weeks and when I did it the one time and it said Montreal, I went
oh!
And then tickets were gone.
And then I even tried to find people scalping them on Craigslist and the guy was like oh
yeah, like $500.
And you're like no, get out of my face.
And then when they called him back about it again, he's like okay, now I'm upping the
price.
And I was like no.
Because you're not the only call I got.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm trying to think of like, that's the trick is to never call them back.
Just buy them right away.
Just buy them right away.
I'm trying to think of like the Skinner versus Bart Skinner.
Peanut butter.
Yeah, peanut butter allergy.
Here we go.
I would punch Shia LaBeouf into a vat of nothing.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, right.
That's pretty good.
How about you, Liam?
And just say that's where you belong.
That's where you belong.
You actual cannibal Shia LaBeouf.
I don't have anything interesting to punch him into, so just gacked into fire.
Because he's the reason Crisis Core can't come out again.
You're right.
You're totally right.
But he's Crisis Core kicks ass.
But gacked is going to be playing a video game per day sponsored by Nestle.
Yeah.
And I will watch.
I saw that.
By the way.
Oh, watch it.
To be fair, Gath brought back this to the North Star.
And God back.
And God back.
And berserk.
Yeah, but he can go now.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
You're right.
I want to point out that I'm very proud of all of us that no one said semen.
Yeah.
But I thought about it.
I thought about it a lot.
And Lily said Mayo, which I'm sure was a last minute substitution.
I wouldn't want to give her the pleasure.
Oh.
That's so mean.
I try this and I choke.
We're trying to walk away from that stuff, bro.
We have this ticker that's at zero days without a dick joke.
And I guess it's staying there.
We kind of got past it.
You reset the clock.
You go to roll it over and it's just zero underneath.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Preemptively.
Jesus.
There was no take.
There was five.
And I choke.
Nick is asking.
Nicholas Pickles.
Dashing in video games.
I know you fuckers like dashing in video games.
You're right, Nick.
What are your favorite dashes?
My personal favorite is Alice Madness Returns because she turns a bunch of other boys.
She has a good one.
She has a good one.
I played Alice Madness.
Castlevania, Aria of Sorrow and Harmony of Distance.
Aria of Sorrow is the back dash.
You hit L, you back dash.
Harmony of Distance.
You press L or R and you dash in whichever direction.
Yeah.
So there's two things here, though.
There's the style and then the function.
Yeah.
Oh, and it's got both.
It's got both.
Okay.
Saberless Dash and Killer Instinct because you can just go through a character.
But it's not invincible.
Thunder's Dash.
Yeah.
On a fucking instinctive moment.
Oh, instinctive moment.
I am a murder of Crows.
Yes.
And now I'm back.
I got two.
Poe Grows Dash is also cool, too.
Mega Man X's Dash.
Yeah.
It combined with the Dash Wall Jump move.
Yes.
Absolutely.
It's Godlike.
And Banna's Panther Run.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is...
It feels great.
Which is super cool.
Akami's faster speed.
There we go.
I was going to say I'm going to give the shout outs to him.
The props to Akami as well for that awesome dash.
Well, if we can count that, then fucking Metroid also is the best.
Oh, God.
Give it to me, give it to me.
Shans Bar.
Shans Bar.
Yeah.
I'm going to get with you, Shans Bar.
The fucking dash that Mondo does when you do counter dodges.
Yeah.
Like the zoom in is great.
And I had one more.
Yeah, that's it.
K-Dash is blackout.
Which one's that?
That says, of course, before a kick, the sliding blackout, like teleport movie dance.
It's really cool.
It's like a bison slide, except he disappears completely.
It comes back.
Dashes are great.
Every game she lets you dash.
That's one of the huge mechanical improvements they made to...
You should be able to dash.
That's one of the big mechanical improvements they made to Bloodborne.
It's now you have rolls and fast dashes.
Dashes are good.
Dashes are important.
Dashes are sweet, girl.
This is a big one.
We'll have to come back to it.
Oh, wow, that's a big one.
They're two-part.
I can barely hold it.
It's very turgid.
It's one that's trying to put Liam on the ropes, so we'll come back to this one.
We'll put him on the ropes later.
Oh, yeah.
We've got the legion of people going, Matt, the Construct-a-cons formed into Devastator,
not Bruticus.
Yes, I was corrected on that.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
You have to put that in the form of a question.
It doesn't really count.
It doesn't count.
Bruticus actually is the combaticons.
The combaticons.
It's not...
The aerial bots form Superion, which is the best name ever.
Superion is pretty sick.
Supremor is what it reminds me of.
Supremor?
Supremor.
That sounds like you made that up.
No, that's from Mother Marvel Universe.
Supremor was the leader of the Captain Marvel's race.
Not the Skrulls, but the Kreeks.
The Kreeks.
Yeah.
Terrible.
I got that right.
Terrible.
Terrible.
Anything else?
Yeah.
Scrape the bottle.
Sure.
Eric, or Eric.
Sorry, Eric.
I said you were scraping.
Did you ever consider doing your content in French since you're all around from the Quebec area?
No.
No.
Our French is terrible.
We're Anglophones, and our jokes would not be funny.
I jokingly forced us to speak French a couple times.
I say impossible every three seconds.
How much entangé do you want?
Also, unfortunately, if you want to reach America, you might want to speak English.
Was it just to reach out to the common language?
No, it's because that's what we most feel most comfortable speaking.
We would not be funny.
We'd be speaking formal...
It's funny you're speaking English, and then occasionally saying things in French.
We'd be speaking formal text book French badly.
Yeah.
I don't speak French at all.
Pretty...
Compared to our grasp of English.
Do you tell jokes in French?
No, of course not.
Yeah, well, that's...
Yeah, what a great channel.
I'd fall in love with you after a day.
I have friends that are Francophone that have the exact same problem.
In English?
No, no.
They're like, I'm French, but my sense of humor is English.
Because you watch American comics and British comics.
Exactly.
They have a hard time.
Yeah.
Andrew just got his hands on a Dreamcast.
You made a mistake, Drew.
And he wants to know...
No, he didn't.
What game should you keep an eye out for?
Project Justice.
Project Justice?
Egg?
You should keep an eye out for Shenmue so you can throw it in the trash.
Skies of Arcadia, but then again you could just play the GMQ version.
Space Channel, but PS2...
So that concludes the Dreamcast section.
Chuchu Rocket's great.
Chuchu Rocket kicks ass.
I love that game.
There's a lot of great stuff.
Samba.
Diamingo.
Absolutely.
But Project Justice is the number one.
Project Justice.
That's right, Celica.
Yeah.
It's good.
You can play part one.
You can play Icaruga, my friend.
You can also play a much better version on an Xbox.
Or a PC.
Or a Dreamcast.
Those textures are crisp.
If Blade 3 was still up and running, I'd say grab a massive keyboard and go slaughter.
It's worth downloading the released leaked Half-Life, just to see.
To get the co-op.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of things that weren't ported off afterwards.
Of course.
It's hard.
It's really hard.
Like I said, Techromance.
Sorry, there's that too.
I still recommend Egg, for sure.
That one's the main one.
Evolution's pretty good.
Yeah, just go check out Capcom Fighters.
There's a bunch of good Capcom Fighters.
Yeah, but you have to play with the Dreamcast controller.
It's a good controller.
It's not for fighting games.
It's not for a human hand.
I'm telling you that you get used to it.
I'd rather play on the N64 controller, the fighting game.
It's got more buns.
Lucas says, longtime watcher, first time sender, wondering if any of you guys watched like
an anime or show, movie, whatever, that peaked too soon for you.
So like, it blew its best parts.
Oh, yeah.
Like the wad was just too quick.
Sword Art Online.
Sword Art Online.
Also, hey, lean, you see people want us to talk about Sword Art Online, gun, no bullet, whatever?
Yeah.
No one wants to talk about it.
Are you going to watch a second?
Fuck me, why not?
I'm going to watch it.
I also fucking hate myself.
The Gacha Man movie.
Yeah, he talked about that.
The first scene, it's about 15 minutes.
It's excellent indeed.
And then turn it off.
And I'm not even kidding.
Stop it.
Actually stop the movie.
I have almost a very similar thing.
It's around the same time frame.
It's the movie Tiger Mask.
Which the first fight is awesome.
Yeah.
And then the movie forgets about how that fight went and proceeds to give you shit fights
and bad drama.
Because the first fight is king.
Yes.
You're looking for king and you get king and then it stops being king.
Yeah.
Totally.
And that reminds me.
I don't think I could talk about it.
I'd say Italian Spider-Man peaks with a guy looking at the dead body and going,
Whoa.
Yeah.
That reminds me.
You know, Italian Spider-Man is like a whole thing now, right?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
We forgot to do your anime roundup, Liam.
So we'll have to do that next week.
Sure, absolutely.
And at the same time, Matt, I think next week you and I should do the Game of Thrones spoiler
cast.
Game of Thrones spoiler cast.
Oh yeah.
So we'll do that at the end.
So don't plan anything for after the podcast.
I think we'll be okay.
Yeah.
We can do a couple more.
Let's get them out of the way.
Yeah.
Maybe one more.
Ask the one about bat versus knife.
Why?
I think we have time for one more.
Do you want to elaborate on that one, pal?
Okay.
It's an old giant bomb joke.
Okay.
Fuck it.
And then I had an email about who would you want a bat or a knife, and it turned into
like a 45-metre argument.
I thought you meant an animal versus a knife.
In that case, I'm going to pick.
I'm going to pick this one.
Who's there walking with?
We're writing an email.
Chris.
What is Chris won?
Did you get a bunch of boulder?
What was you guys' high school graduation quotes in your yearbook?
Oh.
I remember mine since I was kind of an art or whatever, or I was good at art class.
I said every time I paint a portrait, I lose a friend.
Was that from something?
Yeah.
Okay.
I forget who.
But it was just like, I do art, but I'm bad at it.
I don't know.
I can't remember.
You don't remember?
Okay.
I was going to just do all the letters of the alphabet and then go match up your name
in here.
I want to thank all these people or whatever.
But instead, I just went with a really embarrassing.
It was some rap shit.
No, it wasn't.
It was Japanese.
Wow.
It was really bad.
It was like a quote that my dad used to say.
Dude, it was super douchey.
I don't have my old yearbook.
Okay.
My mom found it in my old stuff and she was like, what do you want me to do with this?
I grabbed it out of her hand and dumped it in the garbage.
And I don't remember much from that time.
I wish I could have done the periodic table of elements that you add them together.
But bitches get money.
Exactly.
That would have been cute.
It's always like Asian girl that does that joke.
It's hilarious.
Love it.
Love it.
Love it.
What are we putting on the watch, gentlemen?
All the new anime.
Sorry?
All the new anime.
I'm looking forward to it.
Because I have to know now.
I already did it to myself and now I kind of have to see it through forever.
I'm really looking forward to the show called Glass Slip, which is about a glassblower's
daughter and her relationship with a boy who traveled back in time to meet her.
What?
Yeah.
It's by the guys.
It's so absurd and then you get to it and it's like it's a girl and a guy hanging out.
Yeah.
It's by the guys who did Nagino Asukawa, which I recommended really heavily a little while
ago on another show I really like called Hanna Saku Iroha, so I'm really looking forward
to that.
Kind of slice of life kind of stuff.
What about you?
My only problem.
A lot of...
A lot of...
A lot of...
A lot of...
A lot of...
The fish tastes a certain way.
The chicken's treated nicely.
I'd like to know.
Sounds like somebody's going to be watching Porlandia.
I know.
A lot of fans on Tumblr were telling me that if you like the Brothers Chap, then you should
watch a show called Gravity Falls, which the Brothers Chap is like, you know, did a
Homestar Runner and they write for it and they voice a little bit of it.
That's why they disappeared.
They went off to...
I guess so.
And I don't even know.
I was like, I'm going to make plans this week to find out what that is because I don't know
if it's a show that's online or if it's on Netflix.
I have no idea what it is and I'm just...
It's a TV show and it's great.
Okay.
It talks TV show about two crazy kids.
I like that premise.
That's fine.
So I'm going to try to check that out this week.
That's absolutely good.
Okay.
I'm just going to watch The Shield and Sword Art.
Yeah, just check it out.
Just even up the...
Mix them together.
Even up the...
And Botchamania, obviously.
Of course.
I haven't seen all of Botchamania and I'm not going to stop until I do.
Fair enough.
But you can't really until it's done.
Well, I can watch all of the Botchamania that exists.
Well, that's disingenuous.
You're disingenuous.
No, not really.
Do you know where my heart almost leaves?
I just had like a recent urge to fucking go and watch Charis again.
So I'm going to go watch Charis.
That's tonight.
That's not a week.
Yeah.
I'm going to watch it seven times.
It's going to be a week.
I have it on my... the soundtrack on my shuffle, so I occasionally hear the theme song come
up and that's really cool.
But like I'm just like, fucking, I want to watch Charis.
The one piece game.
Yeah, okay.
So that's why there's no real big games.
Out of This World comes out on PS4.
Oh, yes.
You haven't played that game.
I haven't.
I have it on Steam.
No, exactly.
I have it on other stuff too.
No, but if you haven't beaten Out of This World, Slash Another World.
Yeah, it's called Another World now.
Do it.
Do it.
I'll continue to dive into my Steam catalog and I found somebody to co-op Divine Divinity.
So hopefully not next week, but the week after.
I'll have co-op impressions from that.
Yeah.
That kind of kicks ass though.
Like seriously.
Out of This World is also great because like you die until you learn.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
It's like Dark Souls.
Oh, you walk in, you step on a fucking leash and I'll fuck you.
I mean, Dark Souls is like it.
No.
It's out of trouble.
It came out way, way after.
That's ingenuous now.
You're wrong.
Yeah.
Wow.
She was like Matthew is such a nice boy.
You're really nice for that one.
What's coming up on the channel, folks?
Lots of superheroes.
Lots of them.
Yeah.
Listen to our slow death via superhero games.
That's just because you're not good at them.
No, it's because people aren't good at making them.
That's also true.
That's also true.
Yeah.
Yeah, that Ghost Rider game is pretty good.
That Ghost Rider game is pretty fucking good.
I can't believe that.
How much do you feel like DC?
That...
I tried my best in that DC episode.
I really did.
You tried, but nonetheless, you know.
Comic book nerds get mad, bro.
They do.
And did you know that Hawk Girl's mace is magic?
It's made of enth metal.
And that's why she can fuck Superman up with it.
The best.
And since I don't know that, I'm a moron.
No, no.
The best is the explanation as to why Hal Jordan sucks because it takes so much willpower
and so much focus to make anything with the ring that what he's able to make is godlike.
Did you know the green arrow, who knows a lot about arrows, tried to make a green arrow
with the ring once and it almost killed him because it's so hard?
So the explanation as to why this guy sucks is that he sucks.
Everyone sucks.
Either way, I make sure...
We were really specific.
The people who wrote those are gonna know.
Yeah.
I make sure to clarify though to people that as far as the game goes, Liam and I do like injustice.
We think it's a great game.
I actually had more fun playing Justice than the last couple of Fisticuffs that we played.
It was fun.
It was a good game.
Because I didn't get to play it.
Because again, when I went online, it did not work when the game came out for me.
Yeah, very good.
I never got to play against people.
Never on the game spine, man.
They'll figure it out.
Hopefully they use the gu...
The gu...
The gu...
The guppy.
The guppy.
The guppy, yeah.
The guppy.
The guppy.
The guppy.
Yeah, we got that going on.
What else is coming?
What else is coming?
Our core is done and gone, man.
Our core is done.
That era is over.
Yeah, I guess I can...
I guess I can...
I mean, I guess I can...
I can drop a few more details.
Drop it all over us.
I'm going to be doing the last lock stream.
Yeah, when's this?
When?
The when...
The when is yet to be determined.
Not 100% sure.
I don't...
Yeah, it's not 100% sure.
Not 100% sure.
I want it to be within...
Six months.
Yeah, please, though, put me on the spot.
Yeah.
You know, I want to say really soonish.
Really soonish.
Okay, because I've got some ingredients stocked.
Okay.
I hope your kitchen's clean.
It's not.
Ready to go.
Ready to go.
But it's going to be on Twitch TV slash Super Best Friends Play.
Okay, okay.
So I'm going to make another...
That's a mark.
That's a nice broad title that we can probably use in the future.
So I'm going to be making a video to, like, you know, let other people know about this.
Specifically, when we have the full details down, but that's going to be the address to
go to for now.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we've got that going on.
All right.
If you go there right now, you'll be bored because nothing's happening.
Nope.
And maybe if you tune in at a magical hour, you'll see me testing...
Yeah, testing audio delay at 3 a.m.
Right.
So exciting.
Willow's house at 3 a.m.
You might get a sneak peek into the hole.
Oh, the hole.
He'll be naked.
You wouldn't want to try that line again.
You might see me, like, really just not knowing what the fuck's going on.
All right.
That was a great point.
We don't need to go into the description of your house.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're feeding on...
Seriously, what's coming up?
I'm fucking...
That's it for now.
That's all that we can say.
But hold on to your dick.
Yeah.
Hold on.
Just fly away.
You need it.
And if you don't have a dick, you can hold on to that.
Wow.
Then we definitely skipped over those dick jokes now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's all right.
It's all right.
I think we found a decent title earlier on.
Just grab a gummy worm.
Oh, fuck.
What song should I use this week?
Don't try that.
Make sure to tell Motherfuckers what it is.
I say it on...
You said, you fucking said, that every week you would tell people what last week's shit
is.
And I've been doing it on Twitter.
Oh, no.
That's not good.
You can't hold that information hostage.
It's on Twitter.
You're holding it on Twitter.
You are trying to inflate your Twitter followers.
Follow me at woolywolves.
Oh, show.
Oh, show.
I started late.
You guys are ahead of me.
I got ideas.
I have...
Once I got on Tumblr, I don't reply to tweets that much anymore because there's too many
social medias.
It's hard to keep track.
It's hard.
I'm doing all right.
We're done.
We're just fucking...
We're airballing.
Post-wine down.
Who wants to airball?
I want to.
I'm recording the video right now.
Yeah, let's start recording the video inside the podcast.
Oh, we're going to get meta.
Okay.
All right.
Well...
Here's the part where I fade out to the music.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
