The crime that bests the city streets of Seattle, I'm high on good times, and alcohol, and
Pat are high on man. This city doesn't look as cool as
Make it so remember remember when it's sucker punch was all like man. I love Seattle so much
historic city is got Frasier as a boss fight and like fucking just just crack heads everywhere
yeah everywhere you know I do want to believe you at first but then we we what we have an
adventure we had an adventure and by the end of it I just I'm like Pat when you're right you're
right and fuck this I guys were like you guys were on a spirit quest to mcdonald's movie level
crack heads right movie level crack heads we saw the man on the corner with the jogging pants with
the outline of the fucking gun so plexigirl bird the plexigirl bird we saw Simon phoenix from
demolition man and we and we had the moment of going into the sketchy mcdonald's because
everything's fucking closed everything's closed can't find a red bull and we're like why would
everything be closed and it says doesn't say mcdonald's it actually they have written sketchy mcdonald's
and and I have the moment of going into the bathroom getting the key and whatever and immediately
being followed by black dude and hoodie and and and fucking gun whatever beanie and coming right
behind me and I'm like I post up like all right I take my piss and immediately back up he's putting
shit on you and like well the guy's in front of me and he's like yeah I'll leave the stick
running for you fam and I'm like yeah I don't know that's cool you know do my thing and like
back out and like in a five second time frame I basically am like why is this guy coming right
behind me as well he cartwheels out the instant the instant will he walks out the door the dude
walks out right after him he walked in the bathroom to do nothing or something and then came back
out right probably you probably thought like something like that you would I don't know I
wasn't fair no I was basically like mid conversation with Pat going like it's fine yeah so this guy
wants to walk six blocks in a fucking scary city to get a red bull like you motherfucker you're gonna
walk six blocks in this fucking shit downtown and I'm gonna have to explain to the fans and
leave and man how you're dead you know you're fucking crazy Pat comes out of that bathroom say
okay Pat you know and then the walk back up where we see the aforementioned crack head and gun man
crack is strong and you're playing a level of narc yeah and by the time we hit the hotel like
the anger we had at everything being closed becomes an understanding why these things are
closed with a final remark and thought on the fact that we have not seen a single cop car the whole
time the entire time we were here the popo is just like when it's pax weekend we can't do anything
so uh for those of you who are picking up what we're throwing down here we are those of you who
live in Seattle I'm sorry we are at pax prime we have just finished day three it is sunday
today so we're recording this early this is all confusing so if anything happens at tgs
fuck us yeah I guess I'm gonna be late but we were but we were able to catch the new 3ds and a
couple of the other announcements yeah analog stick for monster hunter analog yeah it's pretty good so
we're pretty much just gonna be I guess running down our thoughts on how the weekend went what's
going on yeah yeah we did I mean all in all I think yeah because since we're not gonna be here for
monday safe to say is we're going to be busy being destroyed on monday thank you champagne person
oh champagne oh champagne oh we got champagne sorry champagne champagne yeah champagne would you
like some champagne here you get a champagne we were we got to hang out with the guys in game
society I don't fucking do this for walking through so yeah it's appropriate I saw by the way
can I just say that drunk Matt is best Matt I'm really it's you guys took too long setting up to
like a waffle at my majesty that now that we're starting it's like I already feel like no reason
there was gold coming out just a moment ago and that's why we have champagne or something
yeah okay because you need to keep this going because everything that's coming out of my mouth
is caramel and Matt's like yo I think I need some water and I'm like you fucking you get no water
stay as beautiful as you are man you're a little snowflake all right let me open this in a safe
place oh this is good podcast under under the table next to all the electrical wires they're not my
wires that's true they're your wires okay well no you checked in he is gonna he is gonna pour
your credit card oh fuck I totally my credit card at this fucking hotel and he doesn't actually
know how to do this hold on do we have a we're gonna do it we're gonna do it we're gonna do it
I'll wait he's doing it though you know I'm gonna I'm actually no it didn't fly out right now so I can
absorb it it's fun you're gonna absorb it I can absorb the absorb the hit just take it just take
the head I can focus it just let the champagne just splash you in the face get your little smash
brother's towels no no no that's to the regular one it's fine it's gonna be okay it's gonna be okay
all right here we go oh my god oh remember that time at at his birthday party like two years ago
he bought a bunch of pop that just exploded and blamed me for everything because people don't know
how to slowly open two-liter bottle this tiny not hard this tiny weird moment of us opening up the
champagne bottle reminds me a lot of these wonderful live recording sessions that we had today yeah
that we should have drank more during we should have yeah it was 10 in the morning Matt it was 10
in the morning so if you came back it would have made them way better all right you're good
Liam you came back I don't have seen us stall for 20 minutes playing sneak game what a fantastic
man you got a flasks worth of champagne we need you loaded all right all right so house packs
Seattle's a shithole there's no there's no way I actually well you guys well you guys had your
shithole me and Matt walked like fucking 500 blocks we walked up the type of streets that cars have
giant chases over in San Francisco exactly those huge hills and we walked that shit up and it was
really good we went to the evil within event and there was a line of like literally a thousand
people this is the most disjointed narrative entirely you know we can do it really good this
time okay and Matt looked at it and said there's no way we're getting in and I said let's bullshit
our way in and so we bullshitted our way past the whole okay so I'll tell you more can I totally
wins packs because because yeah we went to this evil within event that was happening at like a
nightclub or whatever and when we get there there's a gigantic line and like Liam said Liam was like
let's bullshit our way in breakfast we have we don't have exhibitor badges oh yeah yeah we didn't
get excited we have normal badges so jump so basically like what badges we are basically
equipped a gambit on the license board that said why don't we just bullshit our way through
and I'm like and that's not gonna work it's not gonna work it's not gonna work you have no confidence
I have no confidence in the sword that I have and then uh we go up and Liam's like we're from
machinima and the guy's like uh who from machinima and Liam's like Matt and like throws to Matt like
he calls me as an assist and goes uh Matt who from machinima and I go this guy and he goes okay
and he goes back into the club and comes back to this guy and presumably does something and he
comes back out and goes okay so we were able to like circumvent the thousand person line
to play evil within and like a nice spooky environment where a guy with like a chainsaw like
is staring at you screaming at you and there's free food and some swag you know it's really
it's really bad considering I also got into the evil within but at the booth yeah and I also got
in by pulling a favor yeah I was not supposed to get in but a nice fan pulled some strings
and got me into the demo when I was not supposed to you let him take an extra spot at the end
of the line after the cutoff ah good stuff I love you guy good guy okay okay but we're going
backwards we're we're going all over the place but I guess like the flighting was fine right I mean
it was fun I had a good time I got but I'm really really starting to feel the need to like opt in for
like uh business class you're fucking crazy because my my my legs are destroyed yeah lights man
like I mentioned when I went to Cuba like it's the main thing it's like like Bart says yeah I came
for the service I stay for the leg room sure yeah because look I mean if it was just a matter of like
I want to be then I'd be like fuck that those are the noises of first class I'm not an asshole
right but when it becomes a matter of I don't want leg pain I will pay extra money for not like
pain a guy on the plane uh from Chicago Seattle taught me some uh leg tech well take take the
the uh the emergency exit row if you can get it yeah he taught me some leg tech that helped me out
as if you have the aisle seat flip that seat up and just fucking turn your whole body right
straight out in the aisle and just just spread your legs as wide as the fucking go just lay down
in the corridor yeah and no one gives a shit who's gonna care like the steward the the fucking
airflow that uh airline attendant that's gonna come by three times the whole fucking flight just
make sure your dumb seat belt is belted down the seat belts on you know what it doesn't need to be
belted unless there's turbulence even yeah on takeoff and we go from well of course yeah we go
from putting on half belts you go from putting on seat belts to planes and then going into arcade
machines where seat belts are required yeah but again we're jumping ahead when why not because
that fucking initial d machine was great and I couldn't fucking fit into it I had to hang my leg out
while I was drifting and it hurt my ankle that's why it's accurate because that would be the same
as getting into that car I couldn't fit in the hatchy roku that car is only built for a weird
really drawn manga characters yeah with those lips oh yeah dry like you were laughing at the
attack on titan artist earlier fucking initial d's art is like it's pretty jank yeah imagine like
a titan is in the car it is like multi-track drifting oh that means oh specs was great
packs is fantastic it's a shame it's in Seattle no but I like Seattle like all the architecture
all the trees she's cake factory oh wait a minute no wait a minute oh no hold on hold on hey I know
you guys right that's exciting new world of video games first things first but
and the car is about that shit here comes the cheese comes back all right fine you want to jump
ahead we'll jump ahead we'll fucking this podcast is now memento yeah so friday con finishes at six
like b-line to cheesecake factory across why why do you be like because your mom said it's the best
ever and you were super psyched and they're like I'm a good son I believe my mom yeah exactly and
when I went we went at evo in Vegas it was the shit so yeah yeah so we went and I waited for
like 40 minutes you guys joined yeah and we're just like where's Liam he's in the line for the
cheesecake factory I'm like oh god he wouldn't shut the fuck up about that factory so we eventually
get in and it's the fucking grandeur the place is all it's like the gallop the place is dressed
to the nine let's run this this by like I was like oh I gotta go and get my phone and I got wrapped
up in a whole thing so I actually missed the cheesecake factory thing but I was able to come
in during the aftermath yeah yeah so so yeah from there so this is new to me so from there we ordered
our drinks and appetizers at which point yeah discovered my appetizer was 1500 calories my
drink was 15 I also discovered my drink was I discovered that the appetizer I had been ordered
was for four people yes yeah and despite you Liam and you willy taking like two pieces each of
them I still could not finish it so Matt didn't finish it either way so for those that don't know
like in Canada they rarely put the calorie counter on your food here it's the law right they put all
the fucking place apparently that's the deal I don't know the American reference point is that the
law is it the law to put the calories in non yes I don't know is it the law yes okay there you
have the law whoa really wow thank you America thank you America so so these guys get these meals
that are fucking like grand and huge and pretty and so really good really quickly what did you get
what was the appetizer fried mac and cheese fried I got fried mac and cheese as well I got
some of something called a buffalo thing it was chicken it was deep fried chickens yeah
fucking cheese and like it was the low sauce it was basically a samosa with buffalo chicken in
the middle it was the best thing I ever ate my whole life I had a milkshake but I swear it was more
like an Oreo like whipped cream so my milkshake was a spiked milkshake so we're getting to our
appetizers right and we're just like I'm almost fucking full and I ordered the fucking steak yeah
on top of this and we're looking it's like we've already eaten like 4 000 calories
and piece of shit woolly had the audacity to eat a slice of pizza before going there because
I felt like I didn't know yeah I did not know I thought I knew I thought I was fucking ready
so I got bodied so that your food gets there and what happens oh my god the most delicious
steak I've ever had in my life the best the best um um shepherd's pie I've ever had it to eat there was
no contest I feel like pissed off at every steak I've ever eaten in comparison and then and then
like we were like if you could you get a time machine just yell at your old we were we were
discussing it as it was happening but we were we were we were hashing out the the degree of regret
biting yeah and then the threshold where it's ultimate regret you're like I shouldn't have done
that I shouldn't have done that hold on let me put another yeah I shouldn't have done that always
comes between the two to five I can do this bite and then we're sliding out rolling talking about
dying but it's the cheesecake that I forgot about the bit where I still got cheesecake you did right
yeah in the middle of it oh fuck you know and then like Liam's like you ready to get up and I'm
like you ready to fuck off like you know and you stand up and you're like oh we're all on the verge
just vomiting on the street so we consider extremely funny but we decided not to do it probably added
to the Seattle real estate value oh very nice so in parallel to this stuck in Seattle I don't
like you hey man apparently apparently my hair is seahawks I don't know what that apparently
everyone keeps pointing it out and I'm like yeah and they keep pointing it out in a crack voice
go sports ball yeah yeah I know it's it's green and dark blue and this is purple in parallel to this
you see what you want to see in parallel to this cheesecake ass explosion that you guys all did
oh we're not we're not even at that yeah I know but I I got roped into going machinima
action with little people that got us to pack prime so thanks so thank you all that everybody
shout outs and I got kind of roped into that hey do you want to pop into this bar and I go you
know what everyone else will you pat Liam they're all going to be still in line I'm like I can pop
in for a minute and just say hello because it's like two blocks away or whatever yeah and by the
time I actually get back I'm like they're probably just sitting down to their meals I can come back
in for the cheesecake and then I get a text from uh one I get to hear me and say I'm gonna meet you
I'm gonna meet you soon and Liam's like we're at the hotel what was your text I said we're at the
hotel and you said that okay come meet me here yeah and I said fuck you we're busy dumping non-stop
infinite ass and I go oh shit I missed it it's that special high caloric meal in which after
eating it you're like I'm gonna shit my pants immediately so before the trip started Liam's
been trying to push terraformars at me oh yeah you know and the long and the short of it is
back up to the room yeah and I just at some point I grabbed the book left the room and came back
and just slapped it out and it was like yo pretty good book man so I finished the book in the bathroom
I come back into the hotel and as I'm coming back into the hotel I see woolly with like this
this wild look at his face and I go hey this is pre bathroom woolly this is pre bathroom woolly
and I go hey woolly what what uh sorry I'm so late I got rubbed in woolly just like looking at
me's like yeah yeah and woolly's sweating and like I got into a whole thing I'm like yo I got
I had to go to the bar and I popped in and I met the game society pimps and as I'm talking I'm
looking at woolly and I just see these beads of sweat just going over his face and I'm like
something wrong is he pregnant like what happened yes he is yeah yeah he totally is and then woolly
goes eventually yeah yeah okay look I went to to jeans fake cheese cake factory I have this
manga I'm gonna be in here for a couple hours and I'm like holy okay and I come back in the
hotel room and and Pat and Liam are in here and they're like oh god I was like was it bad
like no it was the best thing ever it's just that like it's just destroying our bones super
American portions American portions god super sized by default and I didn't get anything
I was able to look at food at this bar so then you guys like hey we met we saved you a piece of
some of those those those and that those chicken poppers I was talking about so I like this and
chicken and I go off well thanks guys you got me cold chicken in this hotel room with no microwave
what a bunch of amazing employees but then I put the chicken in my mouth and I literally just go
whoa it's cold little chicken poppers but they're so flavorful you said this was the best thing
I've ever this is the best thing I've ever eaten and I looked outside the window and in our hotel
while eating it and I go what an amazing country this is great oh packs packs packs and you have
and it was the first day that's the that was the theme of Friday but so much shit happened
and we just kept going oh my god it's only Friday I was gonna say like cheesecake factory was
significantly before we finished doing things yeah like we went out again after anyone that's
been to a con you know the first day is the worst day because it's like all this all the stimulation
where is everything it's you just get your bearings and then it's and then it's done yeah
totally and in this case it was like it felt like an entire con took place you know in the first
yeah and like and we know because we made uh uh shard robot guy cry oh poor brandon
reminding him that it was it was that it was the first day and he looked like he was gonna
fucking cry when we came back and then pat lemur just done or whatever and then you come back and
eventually you're kind of okay and then we got invited by um yeah the guy that's that make our
shirt shark robot also screen with the guys that help with our website they say hey we're having a
bar thing somewhere over here and the AVG N movie just screened somewhere in Seattle and they're like
we have all these people coming you guys want to stop in and I know why I wanted to but I still
don't understand how you had the the sheer gumption the sheer will go yes I am going to go drinking
now because you know why that's important because I didn't yeah because here's why it's this is the
third one I've been to now the third screenwave sort of party exactly and they're great and every
one of them has been fantastic the first one is where we went and we hung out we met James Rolfe
and we had that great one the second one is where you and I and I went to that legendary night with
John Tron and others and more exactly that was a good time and and this night I'm like what's
going to happen this time and it turns out this was the time we'd hang out with stamper and find out
first hand what's the same person like a weirdo yeah it's great stamper Takahata AVG N slam a cow
exactly all those guys and and random dude that we used to work with back it's where he
is because I both regret and absolutely don't regret my decision I was in a lot of severe
no bodily pain yeah but you could have heard the sea viper voice I knew it was like I was sitting
like he sat down next to me and I knew I was gonna have a good fucking night when he saw my
my third strike shirt pointed at it and went yo all right all right here's what we're doing
you're tapping it off with nothing oh we're all done champagne over but that was a really good
time everybody that was a really good time and then the guys from the screen wave like again that
that work with us on the shirts and on the websites even though that we're just like they were laughing
at everything that we said yeah and you don't because regularly like you know they just have
a normal reaction and I asked them bros I had I'm like I had to get this out for Pat like I'm like
will you ever revisit Rebecca and he looks at me 10 years ago I love it though I know I love you
Rebecca no that's like that's like someone telling us like you should revisit you know exactly I just
asked him he's he should revisit a yarn game yeah yarn yarn nose well woolly world is basically
woolly world yeah you can play that one I can't you can't do him can pretend to be the alternate
universe genesis of oh god so Pat and I can attest us being at E3 is that you step into packs
and it's like just the the same amount of showmanship and giant statues and absolute
of trade show level but along with that then there's like the other floors that have all
the other tiers of geek that look like cons that like their own separate con yeah the sixth floor
of indie games and lots of stuff when we were at the airport and we looked at the app and we're
like okay so it's like yacht club is on the sixth floor and it's like that's more than five right
you know and like it's again these actually are six floors of stuff yeah and like every one of those
major showrooms on the fourth was like you think you hit the edge of it it is and then it just
fucking opens up overall like I would say like a full 30 40 maybe even 50% larger than E3 yeah it is
enormous like you just you turn around one random merchant and then like yeah you go through the fog
gate so and then the new boss a real addition to having the same level of production and being
extremely large it was trivially easy to get hands on on stuff yeah compared to E3 where we got almost
nothing and that's why those videos are so much of us like jerking around in barrels and making fun
of sonic god why did I immediately think of making fun of the sonic guy that guy was sad yeah no no
he was typing it he was doing it but yeah man we I think we all got a chance to get some hands on
stuff we were looking forward to oh easy I got hands on on every single thing I wanted to see the
show I could not fucking believe it okay for me everything save Hyrule Warriors because that's
that's a good hour long why didn't you go to why didn't you go to the special Hyrule Warriors
no that's again a future tidbit jump in go go okay so before we go to evil within we try to go to
the Hyrule Warriors event post con at packs Hyrule Warriors line is is apparently super long it's
quite enormous me and Liam were like hey Nintendo's having a separate event at a at a hotel it's not
too far and let's go and then Takahata came along and they're like yeah we'd like he played it and he
was like I like Dynasty Warriors a lot I like Zelda it's it's great so we're like okay will you go
with us and he's like sure so we go all the way there and on Nintendo's little car that they give
you at their booth at packs it says um Hyrule Warriors special event we'll give away Link's scarf
is beautiful blue scarf beautiful blue scarf one amazing hero and then they go uh it's from
seven to ten and as me and then it says space is limited space is limited which we didn't think too
hard about sure how limited could the place we're getting there we see all these amazing happy people
that are wearing link scarf they look way better than they would have on the way in yeah and I'm
jumping up and down going we're gonna get a scarf we're gonna get a scarf both of us we're just
both gonna get a scarf and we walk into the hotel and it's 840 the event ends at 10 p.m and as we get
to the thing the the people that are like at the door we're like hey Liam goes we'd like to get in
please and then they go yeah oh no no they're actually actually shockingly like dismissive and
friendly um but anyway thanks again Seattle that'll save nintendo I poked my head in and like it
doesn't seem full but when you look to the side like there's this zigzagging line and sure it's
actually full sure and then I then we go we both kind of relent and go like oh well okay if we
can't play the game can we get a scarf no like I was like whoa thanks Miyamoto there's none left
there's none left and and Liam was telling me it's like the european exclusive scarf
when you get in the treasure box yeah meanwhile on the other side of town you guys went to
you guys are lined up for the giant bomb uh panel oh playing nidhogg in line so let's talk about
nidhogg so I was gonna go there for this right so we get we line up and it's like okay we got
like a fucking hour and a half to kill and I just crashed for a while falling asleep in the fucking
floor and then this motherfucker right behind us pulls open his i-book and is like y'all I'm
playing nidhogg who's in everybody that's the amazing thing about cons with that type of the
thing definitely so we played some nidhogg so this is your first time hands-on yeah I watched
the nidhogg but I haven't actually done it it's not a new game it's not it's not it wasn't it's not
new it's not new how do you like nidhogg it's on my list of best things it packs it feels good
and it wasn't even at pack is a godlike new type of fighting game how did nidhogg not exist
20 30 years ago well 30s pushing it man look at it though yeah look at it though oh it's 2014
oh think about that oh no 30 years ago I thought like 75 no oh nidhogg's a good yeah that game is so
there is no design element or technical element that would have stopped nidhogg from existing on
the super Nintendo I think there's got to be something underneath the whole the online play
it's basically it's keratica levels of visual graphics wow good job with the keratica yeah it's
called it's keratica excuse me a simple circular ship you'll have to you'll have to ask the creator
prince of persia of course but uh the giant bomb panel was awesome so it's really meta now that
you're listening to a podcast talking about a panel about that you weren't able to see yeah and it
had everything you wanted to see it had giant dangerous objects being ninja starred into the
crowd and with the crowd were reflecting with oh well you're reaching out to catch it not because
you want it but because you don't want to get your eyes fucking plucked out yeah um you got crazy
by a you got Dave like you got Dave like in a giant bear suit breaking glasses over people's heads
you guys realize that Dave Lang has a game that he's working on at packs and never showed up to his
own boo I would find out multiple times on top of major nelson I was like where's Dave and he's like
I don't know so they would find out that him and gershman just skipped the whole day of packs and
just drunk they were drinking the whole day drinking fancy beers oh man what the fuck is fire
you gotta go listen to that that uh that fucking panel man it's great and that's choking on a champagne
and then and you you had fucking a switch in music was performed yeah right at some point
there was a belt theft a full-on wrestling promo heels oh yeah I heard about this and and one of
my favorite thing was uh when they introduced the fucking ninja theory guys on stage to talk about
their inclusion with Disney infinity for a while and ninja theories on stage and they're like yeah
you know so you might know us from our recent game DMC devil may cry or our game before that
enslaved or if you go way back we made heavenly sword and Pat just like the guy's like feet away
from him and Pat's like oh my god that's that's why we keep that around you can never see was it just
Pat he was the only one that everyone else was cheering everyone was totally silent and we ran
into people later was like it was you you can never say this man it goes against his principles
man because it's like the guy that fucking made the game is right there he's like oh your shit sucks
and what's weird is that you probably hate DMC more than that you do heavenly sword oh heavenly
sword's really bad no but you know what I mean though like you know even I admit that like that's
why the booze ascended in quality yeah as the game's decent but I just think he has like a joke
I think it's the best one frankly either way either way never back down never back down
strategy at the tail end of the giant bomb uh panel was that we can't go to we didn't couldn't go to
the event that would they would kind of run in the royal rumble yeah and we couldn't go because we had
to do some work I actually forced Takahata to go to tell me about it so then I could be jealous
of him so I asked him how was it he goes I got like they're like 10 minutes late and he's like
but it was the hypest thing you could not hear anything the giant bomb royal rumble is what
we're talking about where they get 30 no not the giant bomb like they run it but it's the game
industry yeah they get 30 people through from across the game industry and they all jump in and
play no mercy royal rumble mode and they have intros and everything it's great dr tracksuit yeah
gershmins dr tracksuit but Takahata said like you could not hear anything because the war of the
crowd every time a new person was added to the room and he's like oh this guy got this reaction
and whatever whatever he was like oh god I fully support turning the entire video game industry
into a wrestling yeah yeah hill turns scandals etc oh man you say scandals parallel you say you
say scandals a mutual friend of ours right I'm gonna be just chilling and well here's the thing is
because we got back that night and like apparently the internet exploded from after the giant bomb
yeah because like the thing that was the flower that was budding last week in the form of the
the conspiracy then evolved into gamergate oh and uh it's funny because hashtag hashtag gamer
gate do that hashtag hashtag yeah and and it's nuts because like while we were here of course
like of course things are gonna happen yeah you know and like literally direct from somebody who
we know yes was a very trusted by source was here and speaking to somebody who is an editor in chief
at a known publication yeah who basically not basically directly directly admitted I don't know
how I'm gonna handle the fact that I kicked in thousand thousand dollars into a game I'm review
that I reviewed it's a possible yeah literally I have a review reviewing I forget what it was yeah
the editor in chief minds you it's a thing that happened and it's kind of nuts that you can do
the research you guys at home know what we're talking about yeah people people it won't be hard
to find yeah people can and we'll do the research I trust me a lot of other things have been researched
yeah and the fruits have been like I guess born yeah you know the giant bomb was making fun of this
with Navarro at the fucking they were they were and you know they're they have their opinion on
things because they're kind of close to the story in one way but I think as I as I mentioned on my
twitter at least like my opinion on it is very simple like I said Kotaku's and it's been shit
for years oh boy right oh it's weird because we defended Kotaku for so long podcast oh wait
that didn't happen we always shit on them yeah exactly it's glad I was invading the olympics
yeah and and and so the story has evolved from something that was just kind of like random
tabloid story to relevancy at best into something that is like yeah this is now happening bad journalism
is happening and so like is not only happening but is being exposed and now bad journalists are
turning it into something it's not so the the evolution of in particular that I find interesting
is we've talked about the couple of Patricia Hernandez articles that have popped up that
have just been the most ridiculous headlines ever we've always had a strong dislike for
Patricia and it just so happens that it's like oh after a little bit of dirt digging not much
not a whole lot you don't even have to know that she only buried it half an inch under yeah it turns
out that you know as ghostly hands as you guys are probably well aware at this point like way
way way close to some of the people that made the games that she positively reviewed yeah yeah
and talked about you know what they call the wall of journalism you know being kind of breached
my girlfriend's a journalist and she talks about ethics in journalism all the time and like I'm
always so happy that she stands by that and that's completely removed from this where we get to this
enjoy being broken months later and I see this and it's like what the fuck yeah this is the most
garbage amateur hour bullshit you know and then people literally it makes me think back to like
as a good example like because we're gonna use a lot of negative but I we've been talking I love
John Paul I love those guys remember when they did that building the bastion thing where their old
friend Greg DeSauven was back in Bastion and they were way in there and then they came to
game of the year like we're not gonna review this how could we possibly stay impartial yeah this game
our best friend me right now our rise is super star Liam likes is dabbled into making games and so
is woolly if one of them like branched off and did a and did a game we might do me and Pat might do
a video of us playing their game but we might be talking shit about them all the time but of course
we will say like if it warrants it and this game is actually pretty good but woolly's a piece of
shit well and we have this because we're good friends with him yeah no but my favorite one of
my favorite bits is the option select of um you get don't know what I'm sorry sorry sorry sorry
really in there no but it's like okay it fighting gives an option select is when you do one input
and you cover two grounds so if you're playing rock paper scissors you do a move that's rock and
paper at the same time right and whatever you play it's rock unless they do the thing unless they
do paper and then it becomes in which case it becomes exactly right you do one thing and it covers
both grounds yeah and so the option select of saying that hey man it's not a problem of journalists
get involved in back patreons or whatever yeah and then when you go when you get called out on it
you go no wait they're bloggers they're not journalists they're bloggers whoops uh-oh bloggers
aren't aren't beholden to the same time so someone steps up later and says there's a journalist
yeah yeah I don't know look at Kotaku in particular but personally I the whole fucking thing like
there's one part of this whole thing that really bothers me it's like there are no game journalists
there's like very very very few there are game enthusiasts writers like I was a very
who's just writing for like two seconds when I was 12 is there an actual like a course you
could take in college or university that's like you are a specific game I believe well I
are but they're garbage programs they're just regular journalists which is what uh
Steven Totillo took and is of course right so it's not specific to games or ill yeah or ill yes
so you know that that's what's happening there and like it's just there being in the middle of
packs and catching some of that tidbits just little pieces little whispers of it around and
around hearing stuff and it sucks though because it's like this big news it's this dark shadow
that's that's uh going over an otherwise really positive event where we'll run event the light
will come out there will be sunshine eventually look to the east Gandalf says eventually you know
I'm writing on shadow facts
you know I talked about it last night as much shit as keely gets for the doritos thing he's
clean as a fucking and he's like I need to do the doritos thing so here's the doritos patch on
my sleeve like it wasn't a mystery that he's selling doritos to you so when you go to doritos
when you go to keely's patreon yeah he's funding doritos exactly it's like to be expected like
that motherfucker loves doritos it's literally wearing the L on your chest yeah exactly exactly
I think the saddest thing about this is that the whole everything that I've heard I my general
reaction was like yeah of course what else everyone has known the game business has been
like outrageously corrupt since forever what else like look at the midsuit for fuck's sake
yeah it was the most kind of shit up the worst was blatant corruption what are you talking about
takes money for scores everyone has known this forever yeah you look at the history of them
having like what three ten out of ten games ever or 40 out of 40 and then they ballooned to like
80 of them over the course of just a few years so including gems as yaiba which they scored
nine nine nine nine which is not that's bullshit that's not worthy of a nine you know that sonny
girl remember that ad they had of the president of a midsuit like in the ad for peace walker yeah
saying boy I love peace walker nine nine nine nine speaking of L's on your chest yes pat why don't
you tell us about how your first read a bloodborne way oh my god I died so explain how the bloodborne
booth works so the bloodborne booth was that was uh probably the best booth at the whole show for a
multitude of reasons well they had like 12 kiosks they had these nice tv's alongside the whole line
so you could at least watch something or you're waiting in line and the most important thing
that I made it from the the capped second line to the booth in 18 minutes so I timed it today by
the way from the capped end and it took me 42 oh okay so really wildly inconsistent and the reason
why it was wildly inconsistent is because it depended on how good the people were in front of you
or how many times you decided to cheat this this hey hey we'll get to that because here's the thing
to know is that the demo that you got to play was you play till you beat it or you die once that's it
um furthermore we need to explain that the booth for bloodborne was tucked away in the corner
right across from below perfect it's spirit so perfect it was tucked away it was right in the
sony booth no no it was it was in the fatally in the car over there was a huge thing that said
bloodborne on the ceiling behind the order and everything else you made other people that we
met didn't even know bloodborne was playable cabby was talking about the fact that them and bloodborne
were tucked into that corner yeah but it was nice because it created an atmosphere of this is where
the moody shit is because the lights were low over there so I just know I don't think it was laced
bloodborne was the beeline game once woolly and I saw that was there uh you went to smash firstly
and that was your part but me and woolly walking and I'm rubbing my hands like yeah I'm gonna beat
this don't I don't care how many times I have to play this I'm gonna beat this demo we walk in woolly
and I start playing damn you're simultaneously um I run into what is the equivalent of anybody
plays the souls games of the uh hate night or the black night it's not quite that strong oh you
thought that guy I remember I beat him with the axe he's he's quite but he's tough and I got
fucking murdered less than less than five minutes yeah well basically like like three or four minutes
into my run pat comes over goes hey how's it going and I'm still playing and I'm like what happened
it's like I had found some shit that beat my ass you went on the you went on the the the the the
beat pat yeah and you break through the I played the game the way I play souls games when I explore
everything in a grid and I got me fucking murdered and I stole my demo time uh yeah I made my way
through most of the demo and like the fucking oh my god you don't like I'm like okay what about
defense right no don't defend what defend did you drop your shield that you know that does not have
a shield oh my god you don't need shields anymore ever because the mate the guy you have is so fast
so what is it that if you hold the dodge button down longer you like roll even no no so what it is
is if you're locked onto a guy you press the roll the roll button you dash no if you're if you're
locked on you just yeah you dash around him very quickly if you do it right before he swings at you
you fucking go longer so you go closer to his back so the the closer his hit is to you the farther
around 180 degrees when that when that was described to me it like me I'm described to me before
remind me of like when link does the parry and win wake yes yes yes yeah yeah right and if you're
not locked on you press the button and you just roll you get a good good good good the speed at
which you can do all of these things in succession is not way faster so much mobility even souls is
now a slow piece of garbage by comparison which is 10 on 10 it's speed I just you're not you're not
prepared to get sucked into Bloodborne's room what was happening to me it was dashing so far that
I was going into enemies that I didn't think I wanted you're going to yeah exactly so uh my demo
was I you know I went around through the main area avoided the mob burning the bodies I made sure to
point out that horrible Cthulhu monstrosity we're hanging off the gate yeah uh took out the guy
holding the brick went up the ladder found the werewolves died at the werewolves yeah werewolves
yeah yeah you know and then the main boss is right beyond right beyond it right you went back
in so I went back so I'm gonna like I was back for a second I was a point on Saturdays I I there
I plenty of time left I'm I don't give a shit I'm gonna beat this fucking Bloodborne I'm gonna
lap the line I don't care so I get in did you did you play the heavier than I played I played
the regular okay because the cleaver guy because the demo lets you choose between two builds
yeah I played the heavy one okay one is equipped with shotgun and cleaver yeah others equipped
with ax and pistol yeah so I went with cleaver and I did I got up to the crowd was just quite early
died again looked around nobody noticed so hit start hit start again so this is what you meant
by like you're cheating the system hit start again got in looked around as I you know the game
was on looked around nobody knows from then from that point on your golden yeah because they'll never
know yeah that you went back to the start that you more or less booked it to where you were no I
decided I'm I'm too hyped up on goofballs right now I need to calm my fucking shit down so I
leaned it out I circled around I did blame backs that like just be blame got all the way to the
end of the demo got all the way to the end fucking great demo like those crows look harmless but
they're bad asses don't touch the cross but but we have to point out major frame rate dropping
oh yeah major unstable frame rate it goes from like 17 to 30 constantly and it's called cinematic
it ain't done it's called it's called it's not out for another six months um got to the boss I'm
like yeah I recognize the area from the boss from the trailer they put out yeah I hear the scream
yeah I hear the big crash there's no boss in front of me because the boss is glitched out and it's
completely invisible and the boss is not supposed I told the story to several people and they're like
oh the boss is supposed to be invisible no the boss is broken you get what you deserve it's the
first coming the boss fight you can see in the trailer thank god that boss is toned down or else
it would have been it would have been over right from soft had their revenge so I was able to find
out how some of the mechanics work in this invisible boss fight because what the fuck else am I gonna
do yeah when you see the bosses when you see the target lock icon here up shoot that gun yeah boss
can fall on his knees and you get a huge counter attack yeah when the target the target icon does
what because the target icon locked to its chest right yeah so when the target icon went like three
feet higher in the air I could tell that he's doing a huge one right so with proper visuals this
would probably be a lot easier yeah shoot him with your gun interesting he'll fall on the ground
and his head's gonna be on the floor and then you like a repost and that's gonna be the big black
knight yeah overhead swing and shot him in the gut yeah because you find out that like there's zero
start up to the gun no the moment they start left winding up yeah instantaneous I wasted a couple
bullets just testing it yeah beat it's so happy got this I got a picture with me the holding the
fucking you look really cool yeah I know you did and like I don't want this but I need it for proof
because no one will believe me that I beat this demo did they make you take it they made you but
you got a shirt because I asked is the shirt the proof or is the picture the proof and they're
like it's the picture it's like you fuck it I'll take doesn't mean anything I'll take the picture
from my no one's gonna remember this in two years I'm gonna remember it so this well that's what
all the matter yeah what a fucking it makes me like I was really really excited yeah this has
like aside from the technical issues they will they will clear up it is it is the total validation
of all my hopes yeah and I just I want to say real quick for anyone who's like saying oh but the
demo is like super easy and no it's not no it's not it was made easier but it is still fucking
it's still really hard and that's because this is a later but but it's it's in a different way than
dark souls like it's it's hard for a different reason it's you know what it is you know what it is
it's semi hyper it's both it's not hyper that's why I'm more interested it's similar reasons like
dudes crowd you take lots of damage you make mistakes and you get you pay for them well there's
an area you can potentially fight like 10 guys yeah but like the speed makes a way more market
difference than I was even expecting and there's a thing I remember like like we came out after
talking about it you forgot about the counterattack gun I completely forgot and I forgot about the
open up your weapon mode yeah so it's a lot of good stuff so how much does your string change up
when you incorporate that when you so you'll you'll do the short swing then you'll hit l1 and you'll
tag like three guys that are closing in you know how your swing is three swings yes you can go like
swing swing swing switch swings like you can get more and you can do all that in your stamina
I don't know how far you can go but yeah with the with the flavor you could do swing swing swing
switch switch swing swing if you wanted okay and that was bloodborne um and then you know
so and then here's the thing we did we did our um our machinima booth recordings and stuff I was
going to say I would you know I would say that the most like underrated like under the radar
sort of thing and the big hit of pack so you know from our perspective for us from our perspective
this was probably bloodborne but like I mean like in the grander scale it just seemed like
everyone was about smash yeah this actually segs right I have my list goes bloodborne and
smash oh I wasn't going to go there but let's take it I just mean that like you see the towels
everywhere everyone if you play if you play a smash on the 3ds you get win the black no you
don't have to win no if you just play it on 3ds you get the black you get these great like
trainer towel the little mack towel out of the red ones though okay yeah and if you won the 3ds
make sure they're red one if you won the Wii U competitive match that you had to get a much
longer line for you and get the red one that wasn't Wii U it was 3ds well it fucked me then well
we all did we all play Wii U and 3ds yes I just played Wii U with Liam okay and like I had two
matches and I took little mack and little mack is great and that's all I kind of care about how
unbelievably fun his little Mac to play Liam went nuts when a guy that we're watching I went one
with little Mac and then uh the coach comes in yeah there's the wind post to do I went more
nuts than I thought and Matt was like are you okay yeah yeah yeah no Pat and I were standing in line
and we saw that wind post come up oh hands to our mouths like oh and use the seal and they modeled
him for that and to just and just a slight tangent but then and how in scene um um with how it's in
combo isn't in ki which I'll get to after well yeah you will boxers are just the best thing
outside of boxing games we're never gonna be able to recover from their damage that oh my gosh
boxers are so fucking godlike in video games timing for little Mac and getting hands on
it's perfect for me it seems like obscene considering how I just got away in an Epo he's
Epo he's the Epo character and you you you already know me and fucking Steve Fox and Akahiko and the
woof woof woof woof you know the the the rolling fun so hey everyone will they like people that punch
people really hard right and so when I finally got the full charged little Mac knockout on Pat's
Mega Man and the girl that's like working the booth goes oh you don't see that very often I was like
yeah it was great um smash is fine man um the 3ds version my my worries about the speed are gone
like yeah I don't know what people were saying when they said we'll leave you no better than me
it has to be exactly slower as a casual scrub I as a casual scrub I thought it felt better than
brawl yes it's dude's weasley um it's way better than brawl and as a casual scrub I felt that the
3ds version while fine as far as the game goes the the controls it's just the controller we're a
little bit hard to get the 3ds is not a gamecube controller so uh we me and woolly actually had
a little interesting talk with someone earlier where we talked about what our favorite and
least favorite games of show were a rather favorite and most disappointing yeah my favorite was
bayonetta 2 yeah my most disappointing was smash for 3ds because while I love the core game
uh there are little things that you could do with a gamecube controller that you just can't
do yeah exactly I mean you almost came to blows over this despite us eventually having the same
opinion yes it's just I don't know how to even say it's just something missing you said something
about the character size and stuff but I don't have any problem with that but the the controls are
just not perfectly ideal and there's some cool stuff you can do in brawl where you can like if you
dash and then hold the c stick in a direction and then yeah zed you'll slide and do the smash
a little bit while doing yes that's a technique you just can't really do because of the control
you know you can I did it but it's it's significantly harder it's not feasible well because because
you have to you have to do a smash without stopping your dash animation to get the little slide at the
end of it um and so you have to not stop dashing but you have to smash in a different direction
you know it's extremely tricky the resting state of your hand on a gamecube controller is that of
your hands on the a button the immaculate game design and the top or side of your thumb is touching
jump yeah right and when you're playing it on the 3ds version it's not quite as you have to pick up
and hit the jump button just that little change it's very slight it affects your game a little bit
that being said I do think like some of this is a side effect of us using gamecube controllers for
over 10 years that's what I was gonna say that you're taking a game that has been almost exclusively
played on one controller for 10 years and you're putting it on a handheld it's gonna be a rough
exactly yeah but I do think the handheld version is really good you know it was my biggest disappointment
it's really good it's it's how it's my biggest disappointment because it's very good my expectations
pegged it like just below the Wii U version right but it's it's not quite even that it's it's really
good it's how I felt about like Street Fighter 3 for 3ds right sure yeah where you're like the
game is of course the same game but these controls are rough not the same um that okay so with that
being said my most disappointing thing and I want to get you guys as well yeah my most disappointing
thing is gonna I told Liam earlier the most disappointing thing you played at PAX this weekend
can I preface your thing yeah I played your most disappointing game I felt kind of disappointed
by it and I didn't say anything to you because I didn't want to bias you and then you went and
played it yeah um so here's what's up man here's what's up sunset overdrive not that special yeah
that's that's weird I don't want to sound like a prick but like that's what I've been saying the whole
time I waited in line uh it took about 45 minutes I went in I did the match it's easy to say that but
if it turned out good then you wouldn't be able to say you know what I mean if it turned out good I
would have been happy to be one and here's what's up the art style is great it's still got that going
for it but the actual gameplay you're moving you're jumping you're sliding and it just you're like
yeah does it feel like ratchet that was the truth it's okay I said it feels like ratchet and nothing
not even clank just like you know and it's and here's and it's not bad yeah it's just uh it's not
remarkable here's the reason why sunset overdrive is actually special because at least it looks like
a different style yes and the style it sucks that you feel that the gameplay is like kind of yeah
it's there but whatever because the style is still still there still strong and it's kind of going
all right at the very fucking least it's like by this game because on box art for crisis
for that can I just buy the box right now that being said still gonna buy it because yeah I
didn't get a chance to go in hands on with it yeah it's like no it's not disappointing it's okay
that's not true that's not what I mean it's not a bad game at all it's just a normal shooter
where I was hoping for like something that's I don't want to get any like console warrior
shit here but that's something that you will like Titanfall like Titanfall is fine well but well
it didn't blow the world up it certainly I was told it was it certainly didn't but I would defend
Titanfall more mainly because of just I had way more fun playing it I will honestly say that's on
the fault of marketing yeah no and that's what I'm talking about it's like guess what people keep
taking these these games that are totally fine and building them up like the second coming and it's
like you are hurting yourself I mean Titanfall is on a whole different scale but likewise something
like the order which I was really interested in and then every time I saw a gameplay video I was
like wow that looks like you press a button and shots are fired and that's fucking it I didn't go
play it but Liam did I played it and actually the demo was really really short but um the the main
gun you have is probably like 30% of the game it's no but the the main gun you have is actually
really like fun and kind of interesting so the main fire for it is you fire thermite yeah I know
that's awesome yeah it doesn't damage the enemies but they just like they start coughing a little bit
and it doesn't do anything until you fire the flame and you ignite the thermite in the air and you just
burn the enemies like they're not even shooting them you're just burning them with the air that's
fantastic um and like the transitions between uh cutscene and gameplay are like so like so seamless
and I talked about it with Pat a little while ago and they're way more seamless than any other game
I have no doubt it's probably gonna be like Metal Gear Solid 4 where it's like that one
game better than that you know I don't mean like as good as I mean okay that game that comes out
you're like oh yeah people should rip this off the relative level of ripoffery material
is high people should rip off this camera trick right now the concept of that gun is applicable
in a lot of places that'd be great fun yeah um really enjoyable what was what did you have high
hopes for and what were you let down by oh I nothing nothing everything I will instead go high hopes
right go for something I was actively ready to be disappointed by well that comes next so
because I know if you have anything there was not a single thing that I played that I was
disappointed was there anything you took a look at that was like you didn't you were like yeah yeah
yeah and then you saw you're like I guess it's kind of unfortunately like not that again it's
bad it's just I didn't act out of all of us I played the least because I did have some
you were doing business I did have some obligations and I'm like I don't know I was just feeling
tired overall but I guess the only thing is let the evil within I think it's still one of those
things that because it's a demo because you're dropped into chapter nine they drop you in way
late yeah they drop you in way late and they they like me Liam played it okay yeah I'm changing
answer I'm agreeing with that it's still good it's really really good we're gonna play it and
whatever but it's just like the pedigree of it and just the general everything we've heard about it
it's just hard to get over it like Liam said it like I think you would agree that the the aiming
first of all in that game which is big squirreling pivotal thing is a little squirrely and also the
melee of that game put me in a bad situation where I felt it was I don't know about the melee being
squirrely I think the melee not the melee sorry the the aiming means really I think it it feels
like very very similar to a more intense version of RE4s and like the wobble on the game precision
and and if there we have not played a game like that it's so long where every single character
in a third-person game has the rock solid like biceps to shoot perfectly straight every time
I mean Leon doesn't yeah well no that's what I mean Leon's last person that I can think of
no but Sebastian's even more yes he's what's what's your reticle like
uh it's a dog with four dots it's a dot and then if you have the shotgun it turns into that
giant like it's just it shoots at the point okay it just he's always a bit wobbly all right um
I thought the game yeah the games really goes a slower pace than RE4 um I really like just going
through like the mansion just just going through a mansion and doing horror stuff and it's like this
it reminds me it makes me feel like there are ideas and and things in this game I'm excited to
play that were from RE4 hook man version yeah I especially is the fact that there's a blue
hook man that chases you around it is invincible yeah it also like it makes me a little disappointed
because it really makes me think that it's it's Shinji Mikami saying hey let me do a greatest
hits of everything I've done in the last for a while because like the hook man throwing a burning
body is like crimson heads and RE4 remake yeah it feels like he is taking a lot of things of his
games that he's done previously and just saying I want to get paid shout out to the paul marketing
over at evil within for playing the worst fucking the worst handout at first it seemed like the best
but then we noticed it was the worst they were handing out the box had box of to put on the safe
on his head they got they handed out a cardboard box you put on your own head which a bunch of
people were like and you walk around the convention center with a cardboard box attached to your head
and then at the end of day one the streets were littered litter box and I want to point out that
we say the word streets were littered constantly yeah there were ton there were many items of this
kind on the actual streets yes all over hope we're having being littered there yeah hobos were
making coffee tables out of all these boxes the coffee table and like those out of the box like
we mentioned before smash work really an idea of a towel you're at a con you're sweaty wipe that
shit off here is a towel and then Bethesda going here's a shit box added on your head when we did
our signing one of the pepsi man's gave us a pepsi that spilled and a dude pulled out a smashed
towel and he caught that and he caught it good job what a good handout amazing yeah um even with
it was really good yeah being said this place is pointing it as my most disappointing like I'm
I'm still yeah certainly certainly I think our most disappointings are still all like
lots of games you want to fucking play man yeah exactly I think also graphically that game is
really weird yeah it's just things that look great and there's things that don't look great because
it's a Japanese game you say something American I said last night so last night I was really impressed
because it's the second Japanese game that I look at the Japanese AAA game that I look at and it
really blurs the lines between east and west and this goes the other way too where I don't think
American games or European games blur the lines between east and west either and the two games
that I think really blur those lines are a knack and evil within where you look at them and you
you could easily say these are made by western companies and it's only the real subtleties when
you really get down to it that that are different like that are Japanese uh like Sebastian's melee
he does that over the shoulder punch you know that yeah yeah Japanese things yeah the dark
companies all right like there's just little things like that that take you tip you off but
otherwise you would think it's a western game it was really impressive in that regard because it's
hard to make something so culturally different yeah and and have it feel authentic to people who
come from that and that's probably a good thing yeah oh it is a good thing I'm really impressed
I trust Mikami uh as far as stuff that goes uh from zero to a hundred with I I think we all
a game that's like this was not on the radar and we walked out like this is beeping hard right now
from straight zero to a hundred we went over I think it's all the same game again yeah again
this is only made possible because machinima thanks for the machinima hookup yeah able to
some cool guys were like hey you want to do this I don't think we would have sat down to play
another no we wouldn't have because it was one of the most bombastic booths and had packs so we
get we want we got it we got into the back to play um the Borderlands pre-sequel and we're like hey
this is pretty solid that was all right double jumping and moon physics actually are really good
claptrap plays really interesting hey if you like Borderlands and you want more Borderlands
you'll enjoy it so if you want if you want Borderlands yeah you'll get more we got like over
to the Evolve section and we sat down with Game Society Pimps and the four of us played against
them now let's let's get some backup everyone should know this by far but well you're no big
fan of first person shooters certainly I'm not man you're no big fan I'm no big fan of multiplayer
yeah okay believe me we've dabbled I played a lot we've dabbled but I don't like multiplayer that
much so I'm the only one that would fit this game I guess yeah right I played one game of left
left for dead two with you and I immediately just like that because it's bad because it's not for me
Titanfall was me dabbling my feet in the water yeah that being said I was interested because I have a
bit of history yeah we sat down and played this shit what a fucking good game it should be noted
they're like this is a beta it's not after all 2015 this feels fun this map is not going to change
you know what it felt so final that the only thing that changes is the percentages on perks
and things yeah right because there was clearly the numbers that was all that's left yeah no but
we went in um and I'm sure you guys are seeing the footage now but you know we all played different
classes and then someone from the Game Society Pimps side played the monster yeah and it just
immediately the movement the double jumping oh you're fast it's great everything's fluid
you're tracking it you're talking to each other it feels like it feels like different multiplayer
right remember when Assassin's Creed first had his multiplayer you're like wow this is different
and then you play this and I immediately thought wow this is different so uh because um it's it's a
concept it's the core concept is like remember those tank fights in left for dead yeah remember how
they were the best bits remember how they were the best bits whatever the whole fucking game around
that right and so we're all playing our different classes and the synergies really good it's really
great when you get it going you know and you're tracking it you lock the monster in the class
abilities are so varied yeah like the trappers fucking trap that works the monster is nuts that
well that the fight doesn't really start until you trap him even yeah you know when I first saw
footage of evolve and and whatever and I was like oh okay I understand this concept and I understood
from the the the humans side of it perspective yeah perspective but it's the monster when even
when we were fighting the monster I still didn't like I didn't know what the monster was actually
doing I just knew that we were trying to hunt it yeah it was the only one woolly was woolly
size and I was watching woolly I was like whoa that's different it's the the humans are bugs
yeah and they are tiny bugs and so you have this whole thing going on where um you know while
on your own the human side you're tracking the monsters one fault I got to point out one fault
I got to point out the way we died sucked yeah the way we didn't know on what side we got like oh
yes yes so we lost the fight um we got eaten by uh piranha plants basically and not there yeah
probably people have to break you out yeah and it's just like there's a timer right here and they
were in the middle of fighting the beast and they didn't know that that was happening and then we
just lost yeah well that'll go away with anything that goes away with with like five the moment you
learned it like yeah I guess so well it's not even really a complaint it's no surprise that's it
we lost it was falling into a pit so yeah exactly we just got exposed live and whereas on the monster
side of things yeah whereas playing at you guys were watching yeah like the whole time you're
going through it as a human uh you're killing these random uh creatures dangerous wildlife dangerous
wildlife around the area to get temporary bugs temporary birds but as a monster you can then
go up to the bodies they've killed and eat them to help you evolve yeah you know and so as the
monster oh my god it was just fun to hide and evolve and grow get your powers up and you know
they're around you you know they're coming your movement is obscene yeah and you're sniffing you
know where they are and you get the fuck out of there until you're leveled up you're kind of biting
your time whether you decide whether okay now I'm ready now I'm going to find you're attacking some
dangerous shit this is a good time or I can ambush that one guy that broke off to find me yeah and and
unfortunately you got really close to defeating game society but then like two it was it was a
fucking clutch match it was it was a perfect exemplary battle of like how fun it could get
for us the thing that I took away from it the most and this is maybe a really granular detail
that most people don't care about I love that you have your gun your support gun and your ability
and that's fucking it there are so many games yeah there are so many games that give you so many
fucking guns and abilities to do that everyone plays like shit everyone plays like garbage nobody
knows how to play their class I was gonna say I like that you pick one perk yeah you pick one
I'm the medic right I shoot it with a sniper rifle and you guys do more damage to it I can
slow it down and mark it on the map of the track or I can heal you and that's it and those are the
only things I have to do and they're the only things I have to learn and it's kind of a star
contrast that even though it's fine it's on universe when we're playing borderlands there's
three sets of skills and perks that you have to go through and that's fine because that's the way
the game works but then going into evolve it's like it's it's it's so immediate like it's
surprisingly clean there's no I feel like there was fluff I didn't like once the once the guys
would explain most of our mechanics I was like okay I know how to just do this and like this was
really clearly being pushed at esports so that makes a lot of sense yeah yeah also just visually
great oh yeah well we were playing it on beast pcs who knows what these will look like when they
come into the console or how it'll be able to run on a regular human pc uh I think it'll still look
fucking great yeah it's a fairly simple game all things considered so they just do really good
with the foliage and stuff like that and we only saw one map I'd love to see what the others are
like there's gonna be an industrial map that looks like aliens I don't know this I'm just saying this
yeah yeah yeah I'm waiting for the aliens crossover yeah it's the most obvious fucking thing
and so and so we did that we did those games together and then we kind of split up hard to
to cover different ground and whatnot um what's next for you with for me bao okay yeah well bao
well fucking bayonetta 2 was just the best thing that happened this is the best thing I show no
these guys played on what sat friday friday I played it today okay I played it right I have
now completed all preview versions of banana that exists yeah man oh man that one new feature
they threw in umbran climax what if I I talked about this fun like a year and a half ago and
now that I touched it you're oh it's the best possible new feature you could throw in it's just
fun like you're just like every move I do is wicked weave mode yeah it's so fun and your wicked
weave is now the whole monster yeah oh god I had something that changed since e3 uh for sure is
they have changed the control scheme slightly so that switching your weapon set is no longer the
left trigger now left trigger is lock on yeah which improves that game a lot yeah definitely right
trigger is switch yeah because you're not slamming right right bar sorry right bumper right because
you're not switching weapons all the time what's more important is you can lock on yeah I was also
surprisingly comfortable with playing on the game pad I thought I was gonna have a big problem
with it and I didn't no it was totally fine I really enjoyed it uh you know if anyone's gonna
make sure that that shit works fine and that it's not obtrusive is platinum right that will not
stop me from playing it on a classic controller oh yeah but it's nice to know if your classic controller
is dead you would pick up the game nice to know it's not a problem oh that was I had the pleasure
of talking with a guy from a guy from Nintendo who had played it a bunch because he works there
yeah there's some treehouse guys doing that and like he he ran through all the launchers and
everything with me and it was just a good talk and we had a lot of fun just talking about bayonetta
yeah I got I got the lady that was not too familiar with right no I had the guy I think
Liam's talking about and then I got an old guy who worked who worked there yeah um yeah and and
unfortunately no no unite tombstone but whatever that move was so good because you could launch
launch tombstone yeah that would have been solid if you could drop dad before they fell I do that
was looking for it and I absolutely the other thing that not too long after evolved the after
evolved and uh borderlands that we got to play is that I just thought you know what it's weird that
Mortal Kombat X is isn't here well it didn't seem like it was but then when I googled on my phone
I was like is Mortal Kombat X at PAX Prime and apparently it was and one of the really helpful
machinima guys I said hey do you know Mortal Kombat X is there and he was able to then so I give you
two seconds find the secret Mortal Kombat X room the back room the back room in a different hotel
and we got to play like it was like one of the spur of the moment things where it's like this thing
is not here we cannot play it we can get you it for 20 minutes we can get you for 20 minutes
and we got to play some uh pretty fun matches there breaking fucking news what he cares about
Mortal Kombat I'll break double breaking news Pat cares about it's not breaking but I love it
it's Mortal Kombat X is great and I was I was talking to one of the producers and I'm like why does
this feel so much faster and better and he's like I don't know everyone keeps saying that I know for
a fact that the hit timings are similar to MK9 but it just feels yeah we just sat down and it's just
like look man they I'm like you guys clearly took all the lessons you learned from injustice
and implemented them here and he's like yeah we did so me Lee and Liam start to sit down to play
yeah and we're like all right let's just check the move let's go press start to pause
moves are there right there on the pause screen just there on the pause screen and back to the
line those go like yes yeah also Liam dropped a little tidbit on him about the skull girls hold
pause to start thing and he's like oh that's pretty good I'll let them know so if that gets into the
final we know who's who did it that's on us it's I really hope I really hope that uh so I looked at
it from just the trailers and said you know what Kotal Khan that's where I'm going yeah touch them
he's cool I'm way in I'm way in he's fun I forget the name of the character I was playing it's the one
with the the big guy faratore faratore what a fucking cool design yeah everything about the way
that character attacks and like the characters projectiles just throwing a little girl
remember that animation that after you win around as that character you remember what it was yeah
the big guy takes uh uh Farah and holds her by the hand and pulls her back to their side
style big daddy and little and the and the sister man no and devora like all the new characters
are so good so I may have been more blunt than I should have with the producer we were talking to
him like hey man so yeah yeah you so I played all the ps2 games and like those characters that you
guys made they were fucking trash though and he's like yeah all right and like why are these ones
so good he's like I don't know man we did like 300 sketches for every single one of these what he
told me when I asked the same thing was he said we threw out so many good ones yeah like you wanted
to make sure that you didn't have the same thing happen yeah I mean that Lee made and here's what
stuff is like I'm not even talking about cosmetics because we know that MK has always had fatalities
x-rays all that cool shit it's all it it's all there it looks great the backgrounds are great
but the gameplay the most important part and the part that has kept me away from MK for years
is totally solid it feels way better am I right about the animations being stiff they look so much
they definitely look better I don't think they're like a hundred percent to like something like
Street Fighter 4 yeah they're definitely improving and the other thing is that when I was talking to
Mishima guy that also got to play Mortal Kombat X and we both like like almost synchronized said
Raiden's x-ray yeah they clearly use the justice attack and Raiden hits you into the sky
and then brings you down and like like does a backbreaker that was the most brutal x-ray really
classy very as well yeah sorry the really classy hug the inclusion of the 16 by 9 bars that come
in yeah not 16 rather um uh letterboxing yeah the letterbox yeah yeah yeah so when you go into a
match it letterboxes it and it looks really nice and it zooms in on one character's intro
and then it goes down to their waist height and rotates to the second character intro and the
depth of field switches and you see the other guy and they do a different intro for being player
too and they are and they are dynamic heroes for characters that know each other as well which is
my favorite thing in fighting games they managed to make it way more cinematic in a really good way
that doesn't sacrifice the gameplay or time or the time characters that don't have a thing like
let's say scorpion some zero but if there's like devour versus cano have a specific intro just for
them even though they're not like it feels like they're 20 years of history and also if anyone
seen the the cano trailer that dropped uh like a few weeks ago we were able to do the full fatality
in this version that you can't see online and you only see the end of it which is cano appears
behind someone's head and uses his eye laser to like melt a hole but before that what you don't see
is that cano takes one of his uh cano australian like criminal knives and cuts into someone's guts
and then the camera is below under the whole intestinal flaw all the intestines just flop around
like like full the full entrail drop physically producer man was like yeah we modeled so much of
the interior bodies like we got guys mark and guts all over the casty cages thing where you see
or punch the guy's balls up his body and in Mortal Kombat 9 it was like a sexless area like you
don't just see that the person getting hit but there's no testicular explosion the testicular
hitler chicken that blitz the league tech that's uh all super elite tech yeah super elite tech as
well um that was really fun to play what was really cool was like throughout the entire weekend
every once in a while when nothing was going on just matt and i silently silently would with
unbeknownst to each other just find ourselves back at the fucking ki booth just i get in line
not making a plan that would turn slightly to the right and i'm just sitting there not knowing
woolly was going to be at the food and we just play fucking tj combo i played like two rounds
with tj combo he's really cool you told me about tj combo tell me again i love tj combo tj combo
is fucking amazing and terrifying because he represents something that fighting games have
never seen he is the boxer grappler yeah we were just talking about how much boxes are great
he has a command grab that you can combo out of so he's the code the command you combo out of
he's got the ballerog rush punches he's got the mix-ups and the fakes and then he's got the the
move that starts as an aerial grab lands as an overhead yeah and if you're not anywhere near it
it knocks you down a little bit of a range of fact full screen knocked down yeah so it's the
drop out of the uh the um urian headbutt it's just it's just and then like his tiger knee covers
so much distance yeah but it's not like like like super powerful it's just like a really good tool
like if he's an indication of what uh iron galaxy the type of characters and keats and
dave lang like god bless his soul since he apparently like was not there he's dead now
apparently uh by the way i looked at while we're talking alex navarro won again oh but
he lost the belt due to a run-in somehow i and it's online we have to watch it later but apparently
he won the wrong rumble but a run-in occurred and then a beatdown happened and he lost his belt
that's great that's sick he can combo is really fun i can't play any other character about him
i wasn't paying too much attention to it because like to be honest i won both the rounds but when
i was watching justin wong play later yeah he was playing tj combo right and there was a thing
where when tj combo lost the round he got up and he hit the ground and it knocked the character back
before the round started his instinct if you do not use his instinct but in the end of the match
he he uses it like gill's resurrection yeah so he pounds the ground and gets powered up like like
gill or the game's dark stalker style so you can walk around exactly yeah but he knocks you back
before the round and starts and that's using his instinct to do that no it's not it's not using
his instinct okay that's amazing because i asked the two of the guys that were there i'm like how
does his instinct work and they were they just said don't use it they just said don't use it till
the end you know okay but i don't really get that know what what they meant is like don't use it at
all all shit you know if you want a second win yeah like that's awesome but you can feel though
his weakness very plainly which is he's got no clean antears yeah so you can he's like cody in that
you get caught up you get caught up in his pace dead but if you run a train on him he's got nothing
dude how amazing is this windup punch yeah that looks great so satisfying um me and so that was
something that happened like three or four times throughout the weekend that chaos season two can't
wait for that shit yeah uh good job lang ruin dive king now someone came over to us pat and it was
like hey you guys play guilty gear eggzard yet that person was Liam that was me okay i forgot i
didn't remember so hard because we just ran i remember that we basically found a single guilty
gear eggzard uh kiosk surrounded by an enormous group of dudes after you guys played it i was like
right guilty gear and i go back and this is the only like game in that little sony area that's a
particular sony area that had more than a couple of people like they're always people but i'm watching
them play and again i think i've talked about this before my only beef was a game is for whatever reason
for whatever reason soul bad guys are my favorite characters not as good as chip but no you're right
when i see a soul bad guy it's only him or his animation style or whatever he just looks kind of
puffy and weird and it just throws me off described this before i just throw it and i don't
none of you get it we don't get it so i get it you mean the eggzard version it just the exact
he's been beefed up a little bit he just looks a little weird it's the same thing people were
feeling when they say when they were like why is really on steroids yes yeah yeah everyone else looks
fine it's just soul bad guy looks kind of weird but i didn't get a chance to play because there was
a like yeah well we knew that was some serious shit when we got there and like there was the tournament
players there and then they're the guy that the sony employee that was next to it looks at me and
goes hey hell pockets and i was like no but that happens every time at tournaments because i look
like the kof announcer guy that you know and we like i have him on facebook and whatnot and so
i'm just like okay this corner knows what's up dude all the guys at the sony booth were super legit
they all knew like i got worked real hard i don't real work oh yeah yeah yeah yeah and like and we
so we played our matches um i was like i didn't think about it because at the whole time i'm just
holding on for hope for biking to be in the game right not announced so what i'm doing we're in a
post no bike in world yeah and i'm staring at the character selects me going fuck i didn't plan this
out yeah i'm playing as deep it's all or kai kai because kai was the other guy i wanted to play
and like beautiful just everything's gorgeous isn't it it feels and plays like guilty gear but just a
million times more beautiful yeah i don't know you know i mean nothing else to say it is it's
gorgeous he's got a million when you do hodlkin dust and then all your fireballs become amazing
i don't know it sounds like you're gonna cry it's it's just it's so well you know because
i was basically like okay what's gonna be my system seller for ps4 um i'm waiting for the
last guardian and then you know and then it's like uh guilty gear eggzard might do it after
i'm walking away and then Liam was like by the way you can cross play ps3 and ps4 and i was like
well fuck well i was gonna say if you're gonna get one for bloodborne you may as well just get
one for guilty yeah and play it it's like ps4 is not gonna drop in price until the demand i get that
i can tell you what if i can get my hands on a white one you can you can yeah then i guess i
said they're not going to be rare bro i guess i will then i guess i will um you see the white one
they have on yeah i walked away and i got that that's the one that no one has yeah the only thing
i don't like about it like the unit looks gorgeous but i wish the controller had white
instead oh yeah you know what i thought that at first and i was like no i like it like this i
looked at it and i was like eh but either way i'm not gonna like the white i want the orio controller
more than pure white controller orio controller best control so did you guys play any other like
little games that you were yes i did in fact uh before you get through really little games it's
something that me and leah might forget about is that you know the one of the most number one
things you saw at the show was people wearing gigantic sonic boom bags yeah oh yeah thank you for
paying the sonium crap sonic shit all right you mean every sonic anyway but hang on because maddox
doesn't say hang on wait a minute wait a minute uh is that leah played sonic boom on the we you
and you're like it's it's all right it's all right i played it again today it's it's still all right
it's like it's good but it's nothing special but me and leah also at the same time like both of us
side play the 3ds version and that was actually quite different we were really surprised i stood
in line for the we you version saw that it looked like every other sonic game from the last couple
of years and walked away it's like it's pretty good it's pretty fun but the what do we know
but what's happening with the 3ds one the 3ds one is is good it's just legit good it's
it's by it's a 2d platformer it's by senzaru recently made sly 4 okay um it's not sonic fast
but switching between the four characters and navigating the open 2d worlds explain this because
i had a hard time understanding mega man zero each level is a big not not quite as a world map like
super mario bros 3 say and each level is a big open 2d world with a bunch of stuff to do yeah
and there are various obstacles and stuff that can only be traversed with one of the four characters
so you can switch on the fly so if ever you want to go in a different direction whatever and you get
to the end of the level that does sound like mega man zero actually a little bit and you get to the
end of the level you just forge forward in whatever direction to hit an end and see what you find
right um as opposed to like there's these checkpoints all around that bring you back to older places
and there's these big fun open worlds and like like that was talking about i really like the
platform mechanics sonic has an air dash and you like air dash times in the air and i need to
bring angles character action to air dash where you just press x up x left right down and just
dashes like do you pick a true up b uh yeah but more than twice exactly yeah okay and and you press
x each time as opposed to the up b which gets you to unless you only go under after a little while
you're doing you're doing the regular homing attack then you're doing like the the laser grapple
and swinging and then doing the the air like hold dashes to another laser grapple to more
like quick speed attacks you know like it just felt good like those guys i mean they made slide
four which was a totally solid game and i mean look they're doing it again it's also i really
expected it to be a bad game and i was not interested at all this is a weird thing but
me and lian both noticed that the sonic boom booth was actually very cute it was because it had that
whole chalkboard it was like a chalkboard that showed the other sonic all the sonic characters
writing their notes about how to defeat everyone yeah there's all these cute little notes and little
things and i was just like it's just a good booth second had a really good booth like the smash
brother's booth was nothing it was just like smash brothers it was just crammed people all the
people the um the the nintendo employees were wearing um uh doc luis trainer trainer jackets
yeah so you do right next to sonic boom was the captain toad booths where captain toad
yeah captain toad looks like the shit i went in line and i was like well this is the same
demos we saw so i didn't i didn't play it i opted not to play it because i've already played
3d but we're gonna enjoy it when it happens right i love you captain only 40 bucks or something too
on top of this all stomach that and then the one thing we did of course was like we got our hands
on a bunch of indies because there's no lineup for those so okay okay talk about salt and sacrifice
before i do that i want to get remember that of course but i want to get the big ones out of the
way uh the last thing i did at the day before playing that in k i because we got that line from
below uh no oh no no no for me oh for you for me wait a minute the last word last thing i did
with my day today uh was get in line for fucking super hot oculus super hot super hot so did you
know about super hot part of this i knew about super hot part of this did you know about super
hot yes i did super hot that's the best form cast that's the fucking oh it's so fucking so you
fucking play this on the oculus and it's so nuts because it does you feel like you're cheating
because you can you move and you do the thing where super hot is like the mechanics are when you
move time moves and if you don't move time doesn't move for shit therefore avoid the bullets get the
gun kill your enemies yeah exactly and you're playing it on the oculus so that when the bullets
are coming at you you stop move your head out of the way of the bullet and then just keep moving
and like it gets you're doing head slips on bullets i'm i was literally super i was doing a demsy
roll down a hallway getting the gun and shooting the dudes and i was like this is awesome also oculus
of course hype great look around i was your motion sickness for it's perfect then i'm gonna be fine
all right i was i was totally don't don't say yourself up just in case um i had a weird thing
i think i had a weird thing maybe it's just because my dreads kind of puff the thing tight on my
face we had that issue but what happened was like some of the the the peripheral vision on the
outskirts was too blurry okay but it was too i think it's because it's pushing too close to my
face but the but super hot was great the oculus is great well it's still it's still the old dev
kits too i'm pretty sure well actually i don't know which ones they were done i don't know what
they were done actually i don't know anything you get your hands on is always the old dev okay well
because there's always some new bullshit prototype they got cooking in the but i mean the 720 ones
is what i mean oh those seven exactly these could have been the new one i don't know i don't know who
knows but yeah man so we we played some indie games man and that what a great indie section to
begin with yeah the sixth floor which is almost all indie stuff and vendor stuff was just a fantastic
yep they had a good section of but there was a bunch of indies in the main room as well
and like you could just like just walk around and just grab a controller it was fantastic
there was one game that got announced on thursday and when i got there on friday i stared at it by
scott studio salt and sacrifice salt and the line was a bit too long on uh on friday so i just
didn't play it i just watched the guy play it for a while so these are the guys that made a game
my main game was zombies in it and the dishwasher oh yeah yeah yeah all right also charlie anarchy
whatever yeah um which i was charlie murder but charlie murder that's it yeah so here's what they
decided to do they said we're gonna take the the dishwasher and we're gonna put we're gonna make
it souls into it and they're not and it's not even similar to souls it is souls okay and they don't
care they are being blatant about it that's why it's so good and guess what it's fantastic willy what
are your weapons in the game you have a bow and arrow you have a sword and a shield a sword and
board of course you do and a whip and a torch i didn't uh my the guy the character i was playing
didn't have okay the guy i was watching it i didn't have those sick but yeah you light a torch whatever
so you're just going in imagine dark souls in 2d and like to the point where the controls didn't
indicate it but i happened to press forward and ball and shield and he did a fucking parry animation
so it's like yeah they don't care and that's great yeah man so every enemy can wreck your
shape you've got a stamina bar you go in it was it was just fine and then what makes you roll and
and so you go up and uh i it seemed like when i was watching everyone go through it no one
could fucking make it no everyone's just dying dying dying that's usually the case with this kind
of demo and i and i sat down and i'm like play this like souls and i got to the boss which kills
you in one hit yeah no one knew that rolling had invincibility frames on it of course it does
though and i think i think i was the only guy that hour that here he had bumps me out because i
wish i'd uh stuck around more for bloodborne on friday because apparently like six or seven people
beat that demo entirely and at the end of the day on friday so i was like oh wow looks like i could
have been that guy i could have been the guy i want to be the guy i want to be the guy uh but
yeah man look uh that's uh salt and sacrifice salt and sacrifice salt and sacrifice you have
the fucking fire where is it oh my god we're fucking it up salt and sacrifice yeah that's my bag
oh go through it i got you with sanctuary quick in a researching no salt and sanctuary
sanctuary right here oh okay salt and sacrifice fucking awesome great game oh i lost it um yes
that was one of the games i rounded the corner and i came across the tetropolis section there we go
you are the one made marketing campaign yeah man well i walked up to them and i was like yo
tetropolis and they're like yeah i'm like i'm only from 2bfp thank you sent me a thing on twitter
and like hey what's going on and like he just explained to me where the game is going what's
happening with it got my hands on it it's it's the it's the tetroidvania that i thought it was
yeah it's feel it's fun um they're they're and they're like we're putting in a boss fight and
there's some other stuff coming i'm like now that i got my hands on it i'm like yeah my insta
backing was justified good i'm glad so i didn't get a chance to play it for whatever reason but
i'm glad that it that you feel it's really good yeah um it's it like the whole the main puzzling
thing is the rotating of the rooms yeah and whatnot because it's like yeah you straight up
can just like you use it to progress but also to explore and it just it's just a huge working
thing and and though this and i asked them because i was like okay i need to know legally where are
you guys at what are your risks you're using the god damn word tetra well here's what and he's like
look and the guys like look we have a legal team and whatnot but here's what's up one tetromino
is fine that's not copyrighted it's a it's a geometrical shape with four blocks in it that's
tetra means four in latin that's totally fine sure right furthermore the name tetropolis just
means four cities yeah and our game has four cities it's about four cities that's the thing yeah
therefore you're totally a okay you are a okay in the in the basic black and white of it all right
well i'm paging chris saban well he has to say about this shit and and they said look like if
someone wanted to just push honest they could right and in a best-case scenario this would
become an officially licensed game yeah we're going to land right but but they're not land mobile
they're not too afraid of that yeah i wanted to say like uh one of the things we've talked about in
the podcast or i've talked about the podcast not too long ago is that i was really excited about
until dawn i never got to go hands on because the the line was so long liam got to play and you just
had a few things to say about it it's really good um who to thunk like a couple years ago
just making a bland teen slasher flick and then would be exciting they knew it exciting yeah you're
saying how the facial animation was hey you know it's awesome murdering teenagers yeah facial
animation all the character's body movement i don't know if it was performance captured uh and the
voice acting was all super on point and exactly and the booth was really cool the booth was like a
slasher cabin in which all the the teens get killed yeah the game was really pretty it plays
kind of like your your silent hill where your third person exploring around uh they're not really
combat not really combat uh so like heavy rain if it was a horror game and and it was a horrible game
like combat or no combat drink your water man drink your water i drank it all it's any combat
um that being said i didn't stay for the whole demo because i got too scared um
that happens that happens um it was just really good and really interesting and it feels like a
gap in in survival horror i feel where nowadays you're either indy first person or your big budget
sure person badass and this is the like third person yeah big budget your weak horror okay that
just doesn't exist that much anymore so it's it's really was there anything that anyone wanted to
play but didn't have time for every warriors was the only thing really because i was gonna say that
alien isolation was always near where we were right across and i never like i wanted to go play
and we almost got in but then they're like sorry the line is closed yeah i got to play everything
i wanted i got all my must-dos yeah we uh sorry i was just yeah um you brought it up a little bit
before but no we got to play below man yeah right across maybe watch you play below seriously
doubt uh and feel bad that i didn't kickstart it yeah um no it wasn't on Kickstarter it was oh we said
this last time last podcast um could they just announce this right now they know what the fuck
they're doing and it's interesting because they had they had like the best worst line ever oh man
they were ballsy with this fucking law because their whole thing their whole mo was just look we
have a short line we're in the corner whatever you sit down you play this game and there's space
around you you have a comfy chair yeah you have great headphones and you're playing on a beast
computer and you're the world around you disappears and because you need atmosphere to play well
was the main thing they said that was the smartest part about that game there was no time limit
everyone that sat just played it until you had you know i mean like the actual game it was the
fog of war the fog of war makes it right so you're playing like again it's like a dark souls type
game kind of zeldae journey style but you right aesthetics like things are threatening it's procedural
traps are popping up and you you don't know where they are but the whole thing is just like it's this
the environment is the main character not you and like as you traverse through it and you go through
the fog of war you let your torch you make your way around it you just you really get into it and uh i
feel the way i felt uh playing eco back in the day when the camera pulls way back which it is known
yeah and you're just like whoa look at this fucking environment um everyone just went in
different directions in that demo i'm sure uh it was a huge demo and they're like only one person
this weekend actually saw everything and wow and he was just a guy that said i'm gonna be selfish
and sit here the whole time and they didn't stop him so so they don't even really like him in the
end you know they just like he wants to let him go whatever i wouldn't say that one of the main
things that took away from packs especially in the contrast to e3 is that it felt very balanced
like nintendo had all those areas owned to themselves were hyrule warriors and all the 3ds
stuff was and the giant smash booth microsoft had like a good booth with like everyone playing
sunset overdrive sony had admittedly we didn't touch halo or dragon age but they were there
yeah people like guess what no photography or video footage allowed of dragon age because it
probably was balls that's right meanwhile over at guilty gear xard there is no faith in that game
that is like the saddest thing over at xard some guy pulls out a camera while pat and i are there
and the guy just says can you at least make to get a guy in the shot so it doesn't yeah so people
don't confuse it for like right like direct cam footage yeah he's just he looks at you just goes
hey god can you just get someone else in the shot and the guys go yeah sure and that was that
you both look he's just like that's reasonable that's extremely reasonable so just meaning
that like everyone seemed to have just like an overall good show like everyone was like kind of
yeah or it's contrasting to e3 we went to sony microsoft nintendo owned the entire fucking east
hall yeah basically and like microsoft's booth is like whatever xbox one but like 2k's booth was
massive too like everyone wanted to be there could be there but because there's six fucking floors
you go up to the sixth floor and it's like yo yacht clubs got their giant setup mega 64 has their
giant setup rooster and everyone had as much space as they needed to do they were you guys had a
booth yeah that was quite sizable and it wasn't a parking lot you guys are all devolver had their
giant area like you guys are all playing a lot a lot of the stuff and like the main thing i was
walking around and i said this to one even before is that like i'm looking around i asked uh uh the
yacht club guys how much is a booth like this cost and it's like oh for packs it's like $2,500
which is not that bad they're like for e3 it's like 10,000 to get a shit booth yeah so for e3 you
had the scenario uh this past e3 where konami and capcom didn't show a goddamn thing but they
still were there so they didn't lose their spot that that's actually kind of surprising now that
thing about that you mentioned is that like metal gear had no presence at packs and even if it was
like a video or like a giant trailer is shown or just ground zero or just ground zero which is so
fun but but looking at that like maybe not next maybe not packs east maybe not even packs prime
next year but i think it would be cool if like eventually we could have to sell our merch to
not even sell our merch but just to have a general overall hq that people can come and see at least
one of us wants to come over and see how short i look at look how short pat is and look how how
will these dreads are dreads they're dreads with seahawk colors look at this t-shirt we're selling
that we just realized has child murder on it yeah that was a sobering moment uh any other indies you
took a look at leon um there was one like notable in like somewhat indie game because it's fun it's
published the it's published and funded by like a first party and it's murasaki baby which i was
really glad it just it felt really good like it felt like moss mow granny games should feel
where they're emotive and they're moody and they're dark and the music's good when you when you came
out saying you play it i said to you like the same like repeated for them because it's like i look at
this game like what the fuck is the control scheme so it's all touch-based and that's why it was so
apprehensive but you use a finger to grab baby's hand and you you walk her through the world well
you've seen her right like she looks like a little monster right a little monster and you walk her
through the world and give it to girl if you pull it if you pull her hand too hard she'll just
fucking fall over on her face because she can't keep up so you just walk her through the world
and you use another finger to move her balloon around which represents her life and you can't
let that you know get burst or freeze and shatter or whatever and then there's puzzles in the
environment and to solve those you slide the back touch panel to change what the world looks like
in the background and you use the back touch to interact with all the things in the background
to solve the puzzles in the foreground and then you move baby through what if i have a what if i
have baby hands and tiny fingers uh will these puzzles be impossible for me like like you can
hold it in in one hand like this and just like handle it all like that and do them independently
from each other at your pace but either way it felt really good and it felt like i got baby hands
i just wasn't disappointed i was really happy and like i got a chance to play uh freedom wars
which uh although it's like i played the japanese demo but there were improvements
like really like this is clearly a patched version interesting because there was differences
between this and the japanese version even if they were only subtle there was a big shiny project
diva booth i played one round of project diva and was frustrated that i kept pressing circle
which kept canceling the out of menus and uh the the only other game i played that i really
have something to say on is uh tales of hearts are um which i thought was going to be an absolute
four that's for vita oh i thought it was going to be an absolute shit like port remake of the
quick and dirty namco port it was really good it felt really nice actually like it was good
totally blew away i'm glad it's tales of hearts and not tales of innocence that's the really really
bad ds one that yeah everyone says it sucks and tales of hearts was solid to begin with exactly
exactly um okay i i really enjoyed that i forgot i got to actually play like five minutes of ory
in the blind forest oh oh shit you did it's tough isn't it it's it's really tough but like you know
it's one of those things where i'm like looking at it i'm like oh my god this looks so amazing
visual and i think i've told you this willy i keep referencing a game that you're always vaguely aware
of it's called astel on the 3do which is a japanese game that what the fuck that has tons of 2d
parallax scrolling so this is similar to astel yeah like i just mean like like it's it's the
type of rayman legends type thing but it's just so more more deep and fantasy and and rich in there
and it's got the triple jump and it's and it's got a triple jump and like it wasn't so much the
game but i'm like the gameplay is fine you're just jumping you're going to think here it's just one
of those things that's like it's like limbo in the sense it really draws you in but instead of like
with somber dark visuals it's just like really gorgeous color yeah a little bit of um that like
dust does yeah a little like dust so this is gonna be wet like way out of left field but there's
something that matt said about the triple jump that the jogged it in my fucking brain okay we
played evolve titanfall came out we played borderlands borderlands remember remember the year of the bow
or every single this is the year of the double jump and more specifically jetpack the jetpack
even monster i play fucking monster hunter and the big innovation for monster 4 is that you jump you
jump yeah jumping or and more and just and more towards like fast motion your character can go
anywhere the game will challenge you according to this like all duty is doing it too like yeah
the thorn and freedom wars every game just has movement advanced movement options i like attack
on tight well the do you know why i've been crying for fucking legend of kage again i want a return
to here we go it's last gen we saw a lot of games have really limited movement like stop and pop
cover shooters have like no movement options at all sunset overdrive yeah yeah there you go there
you go but everywhere next gen will be put into fast moving yeah run jump do whatever yeah uh i got
my hands on a couple more indies as well uh while i was running around there uh namely darkest dungeon
i'm really glad i sat down and played that i went through the demo i had a good chit chat with those
yeah those guys are really chill they're really really quick good guys and um man i'm we i did not
know about how much they built upon the game since we the last like update from the kickstarter
because originally you just saw the four classes and you saw um okay you place them where you want
but the placement of the four characters in director's dungeon affects their skills and what
they can do it's crucial like it's it's tantamount exactly like so they introduce a home for new
characters as well and so you have eight classes and um it's just it's this roguelite game where
you're going through everything's very procedural but there's so much customizable uh there's so
many ways you can customize your party well like i love it's just it's fun man one of the things i
really loved about it is how the characters all have the good and the bad and they have their their
vices in addition yes yes yes and like what kind of vices we talking about so okay you can be going
through the dungeon right and like the only way you heal is in a room that becomes safe you can
light up a bonfire and do a little camp okay and then you can have your little perks and whatnot
very classic d&d style like rest your parties yeah yeah um things can happen that raise your uh i
forgot what the word is but it's your stress meter you have a stress meter that like if you're in an
area where everything is over leveled your characters are strength vitality sensor right
and for some people that's good for some people that's bad some people work good under pressure
exactly some people come in like fucking crazy exactly and then you mix that in with someone
that just like one of your characters starts drinking and then like do you let do you like
stop them or do you keep it going a couple of rooms later they might be fucking alcoholic
you know and like do you let it roll see whether that works or not or like you don't know where
it's going to go some people get sicknesses that stay with them and you can keep that going the
entire game and like it might be good it might be bad if you're sick it's probably bad you know
but like there's just a ton of things that affect your game going in and your characters can get
scared and just like shit just happens to them they're they're they're they're very like they're
very uh vulnerable yeah to things besides the enemy it makes me think of like uh like older
mods or like something like banner saga or it's like yeah better or it's like you're just like
you're doing your shit you're doing your game and then it's like guess what there's a fucking problem
yeah don't don't just keep your party alive keep them sound manage them yeah actually manage them
yeah um the new generation of origant trail yeah no and of course just visually i'm gorgeous i mean
the you know nothing else to be said about that um and i was standing around uh just staring with
my mouth open mouth open just staring at some indies just like dude just pops just taps me on
the shoulder and he's like he's the guy that's uh that's made um uh fistful of gun and yeah and
he just taps me on the shoulder and goes hey you want to play i'm like yeah okay and he introduces
the concept in this game to me and like i was eyeballing it a little bit but i didn't really
get what was going on and then i stayed there for a good 15 20 minutes with this guy as people
walked up and i just kept playing fistful of gun is so cool what a good fucking name you know
exactly what it's referring to what was the question you're about to ask how many fists of gun do you
have two nine nine nine fists of gun that's much more fist gun this game is nine players simultaneously
nine's not even local no yes local nine player game i don't understand so here's what's going on top
view game right um i carry warriors like top view contra levels etc you know that type of thing
um but every character that you choose on this like character select screen has a peripheral
assigned to them okay so not just stats not just stats a different piece of plastic in your hand
for each one for each character right and okay each nine of them and with each one they have a
totally different gameplay mechanic based on the type of gun they have okay so yeah go ahead so for
example if you're playing um the with the the xbox controller or the game pad yeah and you're
playing uh character one on the game pad yeah he is uh like a twin stick kind of movement guy okay
except the shot is you have to flick the stick in the direction to shoot you've got six shots that
seems tough and then you've got to flick it back to reload six times with each bullet manually yeah
so as you're moving i can visually i'm going to try to explain it on the podcast but you have one
hand on the controller moving your hand moving your character your other hand is palm on top of
like like a six shooter like a six shooter flicking it towards the enemies and that's one character
another guy has the mouse and he's doing the you lead the character around with the cursor
hold sniper shot from across the screen right yeah keep when someone on the keyboard is you've got
four cardinal directions you've got two keys each key is the barrel of your gun your shotgun
you can shoot two you can shoot one reload them individually the other controller character is
like uh you have the you have the again the stick in your hand move your guy around flick the stick
up and down to fill the buck shot into your fucking gun and then used hopefully it up and
use the trigger to shoot at your guys so you've got this awesome setup where you can have nine
people on a keyboard two controllers and a mouse all playing the same game going through this
fucking hard adventure and it's awesome that sounds bananas that was really cool so much
versatility and on top of that every round you have a perp you gain that stacks like um that
indie game we were playing uh the the the fish remember um oh uh like shigimi yeah like that sense
where you just you stack a new ability and yeah on top of your guy as you go through it and it's
fuck hard right uh yeah man fistful of gun now that game sounds a little dude just pulled me over
and i was like oh my god yeah like i think i saw a destructor article today that said i now know why
devolver picked up fistful of gun yeah devolver is so on devolver is fucking doing it really sad
to see that titan souls was not playable it was just not where we were oh mother fucker it wasn't
in the devolver booth it was in their own booth and if you beat it you got a t-shirt oh mother fucker
i looked around the back just ruined there was a giant banner for for titan souls in the devolver
yeah but no no fucking because they had so many games man ah shit you know they picked up hattiful
boyfriend hattiful boy yeah they did they look at their lists these titan souls hotline miami
shadow war hotline uh sorry what a shadow shadow war hattiful boyfriend uh what's what's the new
one by uh cro team um you know it i don't come on i don't know that first person puzzle game that
looks really impressive huge uh bro force no i don't know man the talos principle is what a talos
principle that's it oh yeah i walked by that fistful of gun like devolver so on point and
they're just seven guys yeah that's cool they're just seven guys and they have this awesome publishing
thing now i'm gonna say something bold that like i don't see the point say something bold drunk man
i don't see the point of e3 anymore so i've been listening to the bomb cast i've been hearing
like gershman say that for years i always thought you're fucking crazy gersh man but now that i
fucking went to them i'm like and this is and making your thing open to the public like public
actually gets such a different way well and then you see all the other layers of stuff for those
games com knows it offers so much more than e3 especially after me and pat went to it the weird
thing about that statement is that e3 went through that e for all phase yeah it was terrible and then
they reverted and everyone was like well good job reverting but it's still inferior right now just
based on what it was and always was and the fact that there's one e3 once a year usually always in
la there's four packs is now packs east packs packs pack prime packs out prime and there's
like another one that's australia or whatever yeah that's australia yeah that's the criminal packs
i walked by a guy in his bag he had a patch for each packs and he had packs 2010 through 14
packs australia a bunch of packs east like he had like so many packs patches a game i found out
about too late was uh you were just telling me liam about lichdom's battle mage yeah that sounds
cool i get sick what's the deal tell me about you fucking cast magic fuck the magic bar just
cast as much magic no you're a mage girl i love that i love that so much i didn't play it i only
read like a press release a while ago but like that game sounds awesome man uh but at the same time
it kind of reminds me of like the fucking it's something i'll never do but i had a game idea
of like a game where you're a mage right and you start off as a non-robe and then you can
branch into whatever color robes but that would be a thing where it's like you're a mage why the
fuck would this be a problem especially at high levels you know i just have spells all day because
guess what warrior can't doesn't stop swinging his sword in a game well here's the deal is he would
start out as a game that you're like oh you're doing your spells and whatnot and by the end you
just be playing a schmup yeah of course and why not just let the game difficulty adjust and it'd be
awesome so i want to see if that's anything like i would like to like magic also if you're interested
in that kind of thing yeah that's what it really is okay okay you know what i really want to try
especially because it's got the top down and everything yeah well people are walking around
with the hoods all weekend and i was like what is that it's trying to get magic of vietnam
oh my god magic of vietnam's the best it was a satirical like look at us be a war game as well
including the color art where like oh no we're like the magic of guys walking i don't i
think does he have a gun i can't remember no but it's the exact same like blue and yeah yeah yeah
it's it's black and uh orange for that one remember yeah contrasting color since you mentioned
magic of something i actually really wanted to try but i never just the new gauntlet oh we talked
about it was present yes it was present in two different floors no less it was that whatever it
was really like on the edges though and it was definitely like the trailer but we talked about
i think you specifically said i don't like how far the camera's pulled out but i still like i was
like i want to try that just to see because gauntlet you know it could be really fun yeah i don't
well none of us seem got got our hands on it unfortunately no it's just one of those things
where it's like oh there's that but you know i mean i stood and stared for 15 minutes and
watched some guys play and it looked good yeah like it looked good yeah yeah it looks like gauntlet
though i wanted to i want to take a second to talk about for for the people that weren't there
we were at the machinima booth three times during the weekend and we did some videos and you guys
are gonna see them you know relatively soon and we played of course since we weren't able to secure
a lot of show floor demos because that's hard for anyone to do it we decided hell how about we just
plays i don't know sonic 2006 and sneak and sneak king and really shit matches of ultra street fighter
four boy do you want to see a stall for time live because you can see half an hour of that oh yeah
to be fair though the sonic 2006 video while it had its ups its dizzying highs its its lows there
was some fun stuff in there and we had a lot of autograph signings that were really fun just do
the actual definition of loud sweating yeah loud sweating for sure oh beat 20 more sneak
king missions to unlock the next thing we can't beat this one we we met lots of like really fun
people and specifically i want to like i'm sure you'll all agree that guy that was the scout
yeah one scout and i talked to talk to him about this and he goes is it this type of scout
and he he described him perfectly he's a wiry muscly and he's super fast yeah and he knows every
single scout like why yeah he's doing the character perfect that guy was really awesome and i guess
we don't have much to say about him that guy that was just a super asshole yeah that was super good
this dude just came up and was a prick but he was the best prick like you're lucky your voice
sounds goofy yeah yeah yeah pat you're super short matt yo your voice is really dumb you're so lucky
he's he you know what he was doing he was like he had no walking animation he was sliding around
yeah to each of us over our shoulders he just say it to us he walked up on our stage yeah yeah
it was a big line of people and he was just and the people he was with were embarrassed
the point where i was like get the fuck out of here sure but then afterwards he came back
going like no guys i love you i just don't want and i'm like you're ruining it yeah don't apologize
she never backed down yeah yeah that yeah we've got some really interesting fans little max girl

like do you guys have any desserts or he's like no we came so late to that place that they're like
all we have is pizza right when they have they were like packed they were packed to the guild so
screw attack decided to ret the place out so they me and matt had the pleasure of going into the
screw attack back room and eating dinner there actually because they had a bunch of food there
um because they had bought it out for a live stream i don't know the details but they were
playing nintendo world championships in the back room in the back room russian nintendo
russian roulette nintendo world championships matt made this great joke about how all the losers
just lose a finger yeah um and we had the pleasure of talking to some awesome guys in there but as
a side effect of buying that place out they just spend a certain amount of money and thus they
bought a billion gazillion dollars worth of
hummer the arcade game of hummer they bought a million they bought a ton of money in arcade
cards and drew drink tickets yeah so we went up to stuttering craig and i was like yo stuttering
craig you're great you're awesome he's like well i i know you are too you guys are also awesome and
we're just like whoa stuttering craig news best commence the reach around yeah exactly but

everyone table with a stack of game cards and at their feet was a literal mountain of drink
tickets there is a wheel of fortune those shitty arcade arcade cabinets that are drawing their
like tickets and shit yeah and they had they had 20 000 tickets by the end of the night so we
yeah so i'm walking through and i just see craig and all these dudes in the store thing and he's
just holding up and throwing stuff animals or i'm just going ah you know like we we went we played
sega hummer which is this crazy arcade game yeah it's like you just drive a hummer the more you
crash into things the more boost you get and if you crash it switches to player two yeah there's
two steering wheels on the same hummer two players constantly have to switch and the cab just
jostles and jukes all over the place and then in the middle of you two is a giant glowing boost
button yeah you know what we say about racing games with boost button so good boost that shit
woolly later tonight we have to go back if there's time it's too late if if it's open for one last
game oh okay game you have to play call no he's only about this you're gonna want to play it's called
too spicy okay it's a light gun shooter by sega okay and it is entirely one-on-one light gun duals
oh wow you have you have two pedals for moving left and right around like the environment behind
cover you double tap it to roll halfway between the cover and if you're aiming well you roll it
goes slow most so you can shoot them while you dive out fuck me i didn't see this one it's called
too spicy it's called too spicy i have to show it to you if they're still open later what's the
scary game called uh uh for uh 4d escape dark escape 4d yeah we played that game i talked about
shooting farts in your mouth so is it actually 4d all right why does that mean that is right this
on the podcast it shoots air at you so it's there's surround 3d glasses surround sound puffs of air
vibrating seats and the gun that you're holding is a turret but the turret also acts as a heart rate
sensor yeah that knows when you're scared or when your heartbeat jumps and your your score goes up if
you don't if you stay calm oh really yeah the that thing was scary like rumbling seats and jumpscares
that's scary as hell the burst of air in your eyes when something jumps at you when a zombie like
like a barf scrap in your face it comes right out i would never have thought how much more intense
it feels yeah to have the full body reaction right or just the shiny butt song we played the cabin
scenario which is very re4 cabin like they're all the older hands are bursting on either sides in
3d it was and that's just like why no come on yeah what a great arcade that was like even though i'm
not a fan of the card yeah yeah yeah that had almost everything you two floors one floor with racing
games and had pinball in the corner fighters it had a shitty tag in tag one cabinet that was tinged
like like yellow i have never seen either dj max technic attune or taiko drum master in north america
and both of them were there and both of them were there in addition to too spicy too spicy too spicy
the new hotness i need to know which was in english with english voice acting i know what wow to know

i mean pinball persists yeah i but like nothing wrong with pinball it's super legit yeah it is
you're right yeah that your pinball is fucking fit like why is that good it should not be good so

you the seaman story no no when i was in japan no i said no i was in a big huge sega arcade right
more like an amusement park an indoor one they this big wall that i took a picture of that was like
big seaman animals but they were like dolphins they weren't just fish and you got to take a
picture of your face and they put it on it and it was exactly like seaman like seaman that was
dolphins and seaman that's that's creepy i know i can't believe they still remember that was
no no it's how could you forget seaman seaman seaman seaman seaman okay
it's like saying it just released a game called jizz um super hot we've got one from uh but hurt

your australian jokes once i get these chains off i'm coming for you have you played knifey spoony
before i played it before i love how every australian that i've has gotten the contact me via my
deluge of australian jokes has always been like i hate you so much i will now add my own australian
joke to this that follows the identical formula that you have established it's so good i love it
sign prisoner 25601 yeah i'm like massive complaint outrage email this message has been
vetted by an officer you know yeah the corrections officer all i get from this is that australians
are good sports which you have to be if you're in jail for a long time also especially since you've
only had electricity for the last 30 years that's rough they're getting used to it man they're
adjusting i'm proud of how far they've made it so right right they're like the little arrested
sister we all have that's why all of her that's why all australian actors are the toughest mother
fuckers that ever want the earth yeah uh daniel wants to know hey i'd like to know if your parents
nagged you too much about playing games when you were young hell yeah they did yeah and what do
they think now that it's basically your job uh my my dad didn't get it because he's he's super
technologically oh not a verse but he just is inept yeah he doesn't know how to use a computer
he's a woodsman oh well super woodsman there's no computers out in the woods so he totally
didn't get it and he wasn't too fond of it my mom was always pretty understanding but she was always
like you can play like you know an hour a day after school kind of thing you know what i mean
except for weekends which was nice i had the full on otherwise it was fine like you're not spending
this whole fucking summer indoors playing video games like yeah you want to fucking bet i don't
sleep uh and now they're like oh yeah whoops i just tried to talk to my dad like every like every
couple weeks i'm like yeah hey dad i'll never get anywhere playing these fucking video games
that yeah and i just keep doing that noise until you go shut up my dad my mom was always like
oh whatever it's video games it's fine my dad was always like why do they always have to be so
violent yeah like i remember i was playing school the nine he was just like why is it always shooting
why is it always shooting i don't mind excuse me i don't watch robocop again and then my dad like
nowadays my parents are like we're so proud that you're doing something that you love and even
though we told you it's bullshit uh mine went through phases where at first uh she was like
you know don't fuck don't fuck up the tv because yeah you know like when you use the the coaxial
cable right we all know that that's what breaks the tv yeah right you know and then i think everyone
went through that exact thing god it's the worst it was it was lies because they just didn't want
you using the good tv no but no but some of the people legitimately didn't understand no my friends
aunt had an hdmi television and she still was like don't play games on it you're gonna mess it up
like that level of caveman think you know but eventually it just became like she didn't care
about playing the games that much she was just like she'd only get mad when i did it instead of
doing chores right you know of course and of course now it's exactly the same sort of thing
it's like well hey man you you made a business out of it and you're doing it as for a living so
what can i say who the fuck am i to tell you to not do your job yeah that being said though that
hair you're never gonna get a job with that hair you're never gonna i'm like i don't want to work
anywhere that wouldn't hire me for having this hair so of course of course you know it's an office
job misery barrier yeah but we want you to be a businessman it works both ways it's literally
like if you have a problem with the way i look i don't want to work for you it's great and that's
the way dad was always like you need to dress good because your bosses will be pissed i'm like dad my
boss has like three nose rings and a mohawk uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh we're gonna interrupt
later time for a minute breaking news what's going on leon the english translators at tgs are back
this year it's english on my tgs street oh that's great tgs is starting right now on the stony street
i hope these fucking english guys keep an eye on that that you were showing me just now amazing
i was showing woolly earlier who's losing his shit last year at tgs stony's press conference
describing the trailer i'm believable because they just had some japanese people they're
translating those bits of it every trailer and every every uh uh guy speaking on stage
they were just talking like plainly every colloquialism that that marketers were so pleased with
turned into the driest so when you're watching translation you're watching the the yakuza
kenzan trailer and the guys get behind the samurais are getting ready and they're like
you just say hey you just have a person going let's go
but like not even good english like yeah oh the knack one just destroys me every time i feel
they don't even care that's that's i feel we should move forward now keep an eye on that
oh that's what they do devin wants to know um a lot of the waifu talk going on recently a little
too much i'd say but but you say that only because like you're gonna because i'm a normal person no i
agree with that actually you don't have a waifu yeah i have an actual wife you're getting a wife
so like get out of my waifu but enough about persona pick a waifu from a kimia game uh bao
john john easy amatorazu that's a dog it's a you sit down it counts no uh john from bao two
any day of the week bao any day of the week it's easy lady oh ladies good but that's that counts
ah that's good that's not gonna be a game it's not a kamea game it wouldn't exist without kamea
you're kidding no you have to say i'm back on woolly's side on this one fine fine fine sylvia
sylvia all right sylvia okay yeah just go for it just go for it just go for it move on
oh shut up sylvia oh god just oh that's why john every day yeah she's the best look at her what was
the name of the girl with the white hair and dmc for i know it's not kamea warrior it's gloria
that was trash it was just trash it was just i know but i came as a spoiler name no spoilers for
an eight game christ um jordan wants to know you're super best bros i live in portland and every
time i go to my barcade i spend all of my time in front of cvs too what when you go to your arcades
what do you spend your time in front of our arcades for me anymore like a four when it's around
four or third strike yeah for me it was the house of the dev one or two machines not the
fucking three wait wait now or back in the day well take it take it back in the day if you need to
oh back in the day star wars the fucking star wars arcade yeah damn i'd probably say it
bounced between soul caliber one uh third strike and alpha three i i mean like you know like i said
the three fighter games but i spent a gross amount of money on x-men arcade well yeah right
we spawn in the demon's hand i need i need to shoot goldman in the face that's what i need
to do if i'm going to the arcade i'm gonna shoot curian or goldman in the face right but you picked
it up nothing else will satisfy but you picked it up earlier this week and you didn't have it the
fucking site was off was it yeah it was off like a good foot because you walked away from that looking
really sad yeah because the site was off and i couldn't play it properly okay because i thought
it was you just like oh man it's gone i don't have it anymore it's like the fucking cabinet was
broken okay that's what killed me inside man i was dead not not not johns sure it was a little
johns a little bit i used to be able to adapt for that my career i was younger i could play the
the whole fucking game with the bad site but now i can't sure big rob wants to know what your
favorite limited collector's edition of the game uh castlevania portrait of ruin that had that amazing
uh 15th anniversary castlevania thing that came for free off the top of my head i'm really fond of
the uh jojo all star battle one that came with the amazing figurine but give me a second soul
caliber two came with an excellent art book but but what's a really good collector's edition really
good one i don't know i don't know i think there are threes is really good because it comes with
a uh a novel novella that has all the short story backstories of all the characters and it's really
really good motherfucking lunar silver star story complete yeah that's a really good with the with
the punching nun galleon yeah that's a really good one and if it ain't that it's elemental gear
bold oh yeah okay yeah and we're done yeah elemental gear bald i guess you're right you're right
anything on month there there's stuff but like it's a hard pull it's yeah no because it's like you
have to go back like at least 10 years when collector's editions even started coming out
but i remember being really pleased with mortal combat nine's like big collector's edition
yeah it's nice to just get a big dump thing yeah because it had the the scorpion and sub-zero
uh bookends yeah and then it had like an art book then it was just it was just a good overall
package the the worst one is that fucking i think i've talked about it before is that shitty mad uh
max pain statue where max pain is standing straight yeah almost t-posing almost fuck that thing uh
ggbhtg says my question is what what's that name that's his name he said it really fast yeah
my question is what are you guys's favorite additional scenes into an adaptation of a series
basically scenes that were added that were not in the source material oh that's a really good one
that's um i'm gonna say in terminator two when you watch the director's cut and they they input
it a scene where like the t1 uh when you're on the team that the 1000 gets melted the first time
at the end when he comes back there's all these additional scenes of him struggling to walk
and his feet start melting into the ground and he starts getting attached to things it was just
one of those things or it's like why did you take that out that's neat i'd honestly have to say
like that one mostly because i can't think of anything else i know that one's so well i i can
think of of several i don't often watch movies i'm going to say literally every single scene that
was reinserted into aliens oh yeah as the directors i hear the weird thing about that is that the
gun turrets which weren't in the original version at all are now like a canon thing that i've been
in tons of games they're fucking cool yeah more importantly than that is the scene in which uh
rippley is told about her daughter is apparently yeah in the original dance yeah and like that
really gives like context to the whole the whole plotline yeah i'm gonna say uh while avoiding
spoilers for people that aren't there yet um the the latest battle involving brian of tarth in game
of thrones yeah yeah we're talking about that with that the latest battle involving brian of tarth is
so fucking good and it was not in the books yeah it was completely different in the books did not
yeah yeah yeah and oh i can't get into it i'm sorry i can't of course well we had a game of
thrones spoiler we did it we did it we did it everyone knows how we're going on in three years
uh we'll throw out another quick waifu one gunnar says who's your first anime waifu osuka
i don't know i couldn't i couldn't remember before you understood the concept of waifu yeah
exactly like i don't think i'd be able to remember for me metoko kusanagi yeah um i would probably
say my sure new of course in the fatal theory movie of course or or mars or sailor maras i am not
booing mars by the way i'm really trying to think and i cannot you're a baby back when white foods
existed i can't remember man it was probably really good though it's probably a really good pick
early anime i'm just i'm thinking and like what did i watch and it's like it's just
anime is filled with girls in shape because i was a baby and i didn't know any better yeah
like full metal alchemist it's like what full metal alchemist we know not full metal alchemist
i don't know who my first waifu was oh that's a sad memory lost what do you want yeah fair
why i have better waifus now oh possessive uh also an actual girlfriend
that doesn't hurt you know it doesn't hurt you're right yeah metoko so oh come on she's great though
i don't know who my wife is though are we seriously going into like 15 year old life but we're not
going into 15 year old waifu wars dude you don't know who that is i don't know who that is ghost in
the shop ghost in the shop oh yeah i just probably watch it yo that's one day yeah i really hope you
i've seen the ending but nothing else sick that's all you need i'm sure that made you understand
the whole thing right one of the most confusing endings besides akira yeah uh and finally we got
one from cheese we got one from elf elf archer um just straight up asking uh do you guys have
any plans to attend uh pack south or any other packs i don't know well we just talked about how
if we're gonna go to another packs south is kind of far packs east might happen easy for us but
that's all up in the air we were literally just speculating yeah yes we're just saying that like
if we're going to go to another pack speculate speculating we would probably do east over uh
prime or australia because as we know east coast it was beast coast it's true just you know we we
we also means we get to go to boston make shitty access the whole weekend chowda what's up chowda
chowda down at down at the docks i think we can say that this is terrible i'm making it more
this life acts who will return the idea of packs east being done at the docks
fucking ziggie you're so stupid ziggie god damn it uh um what do we have coming up on uh the
channel and website uh well i i think that we talked about a little bit before but we should
be able to have the uh the live gameplay demos that we did a sneak king and um and sonic 2006
and uh hopefully we have enough material that we filmed of us just you know dicking around on the
show floor at packs that'll be up and of course you know the regular uh dark souls 2 and prison
break and once we get back i mean willy will finish uh shallow and monks because we only had two more
yeah yeah we got a little bit left before we run that out yeah um and i guess uh the last thing is
what uh do you guys want to put on the watch uh well i think tgs week
both of these are valid things well i want to go sleep man yeah in my own god damn bed well i
own starlo playing the first level of azure striker gunvolt as a striker gun i'm not sure about it
actually i'm maybe i'm playing it wrong but the game doesn't give any actual tutorial on how you're
actually supposed to play yeah i'll teach you i'm not really sure i'm just running forward and taking
damage i just played through the first level it's great i'm gonna put two other things on i've got
other things as well i'm gonna put the finishing up masters of doom uh the book which i will talk
about next week because that book is riveting and remaro and karmak are crazy dudes and i'll
all be taking a longer look at the sky for for the beat of myself which yeah you're really into
that uh danganronpa 2 which is out on tuesday and i can't fucking wait you're gonna have to wait
you have to damn it pat you physically have to wait and uh velocity 2x which is the sequel to the
award-winning schmop um you see very sure that looks so it looks so good uh i got a couple things
i'm gonna throw on there well i want you to say be like you know water really put water on the
watch i enjoy that stuff she's in h2o it's pretty important uh no i want to throw up um i had a
nice little conversation uh in in the uh the below line with some cool guys that were uh a guy that
is a couple that read a lot of comics from kappy is awesome yeah they really read a lot of comics
we were talking about comics for a while and uh they recommended me to read the woods which is
a new book that's out apparently it's really solid yeah i'm gonna find out um i also i'm putting
fucking saga on the watch because i read that on the plane over and oh my god brian cave on strikes
gold again so do you finish what's available i finished volume one of saga on the plane okay so
you still have two more it's supposed to more to go it's so great it's so and i'm going to remove
seconds from the watch because i read seconds the brian leo malley book and it is a solid six on
ten i was left non-plushed so it's basically all three all three of us that read it all feel like
kind of the same the beginning is super good too and it just kind of it just it peters out a little
bit but it doesn't get horrible it just kind of loses its way um and um and i just want to give a
shout out to anybody that uh people are tucking themselves in i want to give another shout out
to um kirby uh triple deluxe uh because that i picked up on the way over as well and that's
triple deluxe in particular the whole package because i got a while yeah because one you
have a normal kirby game that's all fine and dandy we all know how that goes but then you get ddd's
drum thing so basically you're getting your kirby super star which is yeah the kirby yeah the ddd
drum rhythm game it's super short but it's fun whatever but kirby fighter um kirby's fire
z not not zz in japan deluxe kirby fighter deluxe which is what's called here looks good i can't
believe it took them this long to make it but it's just kirby one-on-one battle modes with all the
different kirby powers always with sakurai originally envisioned just and it's it's what i needed it's
what i needed that i didn't know i needed so that's my watch now you've got it in your pocket that's
my watch man and with that my watch has ended there you go what is that all four of us i guess
