we're in there with max a million how's it going guys yo max pretty good who is
this guy no max is great oh what's going on dude pretty pretty good some some
people might not know me but I like all the same shit you guys do so so on
your channel you do fighting games all the time and you recently did a bayot 2
was it a full playthrough I can't recall we did we did a full play through pretty
in touch on this kind of stuff yes yeah and we have an affinity of taste is
complete regions be damned when it comes to games I want to play you made the
right choice I think the only real difference between us and max is that
when max played JoJo all-star battle his main thing was why why do they pose
like that like that man don't you get it I'd like to think that like max and I
have kind of been staring at each other from across the room in the fighting
game gymnasium for the past couple years awkward winks and shoulder bumps
right you holding up the wall but this is the first time we've actually spoken
sir yeah it's kind of now we can spend go ahead now we can spend two hours
talking about hair tips oh sick I was looking forward to getting dreads I
can't wait really shut up and put Benny on the mic oh I will
that's how Pat yells for his girlfriend it's weird you guys are me shit hey
you're not here to punch me so it's fine oh you know I'll just stock them up
Liam oh yeah well get your digs right I already have to punch you for like three
things I saw here in Japan I wanted to talk about opening up the loot crate
box and finding Pat's mom inside I was watching Willie CVS to adventure through
through Japan and I have to ask you Pat if you're if you're there right now have
you seen any ads for Beo to I saw an ad for Beo to yes nice it was right next to
Beo to a store that doesn't count at all were you looking at the copy of Beo
to a kiosk of Beo to surrounding a television that was playing ads of
Beo to that's depressing yeah you're watching camera it sucks but like in
Japan any game that's not the biggest triple a is extremely front-loaded in
its advertising so like stuff for the new Danganronpa and Beo to and all this
recent stuff is just gone yeah no advertising and the crazy thing is
that shit so you can make room for the skyscraper sized ads for Monster Hunter
exactly like there's there's something crazy that happened when Jojo came out
and I imported that copy the Japanese one the dude that got me the copy kind of
handles an import shop and he I got it for like half as much as it did when it
came out and was like a week after it came out and he said that yeah in Japan
after the first week games just drop in price they just shoveling die and they
just die yeah definitely like if the quality of the game turns out to be
lower than expected and Jojo is like the best example of that the price is just
slash like Nino Cooney for the DS that had the big book and everything yeah
expensive after like three weeks it was a thousand yen yeah it was a big pain
page you to take it because it was so big we need to get rid of this now if
you've seen that then I guess I only have to cut my head off halfway yeah it's
funny why is that yes because he's because in Willie's video he said if I
can't find a bayo to add I'll cut my own head off of the chainsaw
we promise okay halfway is pretty good yeah so just kind of flops there be
careful with that chainsaw you can still talk but you're talking like Terrence
and Philip with your neck yeah or like Benicio Del Toro in Sin City I don't know
when I lean forward it's like I thank you like yeah do you remember that part in
Sin City where Benicio Del Toro's head got cut off halfway that's just the way he talks
that's just that's just the Spanish for you yeah that's all guacamole live on
the podcast I know I get racists live anyway quans get that shit out of game
was so good clean podcast yeah so let's let's cover our weeks starting from the
future and moving backwards through time yeah yeah yeah so right now Pat you are
the furthest in the future how was your day morning man holy shit bull shit
so first of all I want to make a couple of statements one doing the podcast in
the morning is bullshit wake up sleepy this is garbage you shut up Liam you
always like to get up in the morning cuz you're young that's the end of that
full of pissing at the crack of 10 that Liam just turned 16 right yeah just
turn I thought so it's a good guess second thing more than Japan I have
discovered be due to Japan my latent desire for coffee oh yeah okay I have
never drank coffee but I have had like hey here have a sip of this bullshit from
Tim Hortons I always go right and is the nation not ready to deliver on that
it's ready to deliver so basically I ran into a similar problem that you did
Willie where I got here and my brain goes well I get off the you know the
you're dead your brain is telling you that you're dead that's correct right and
my brain is like you said it's telling me that I have died and that I need like
poison electrolytes or something yeah yeah but I could not find my poison of
choice which is Red Bull and could not find it so I'm like okay well there are
180 different kinds of coffee in this machine gotta settle for blackout gods
wait is it just like Shenmue like a big coffee machine yeah it is a vending
machine that is the most next level vending machine you have ever seen
amazing on every corner and not only on every corner like four on a corner so
and then in one case eight on a corner and they're all run by different
companies so every single item is different hmm and so you pay a buck and
you get fantastic milk and sugar like hot coffee in a can occasionally you get
little coffee stuffs in there too yeah it's just life-changing yeah you gotta
find the Centauri machines if you want boss coffee of course I found one of
those and the boss coffee wasn't like it was pretty good but it wasn't as good as
some of the other ones I've been having like the advertising is mislead misled
me well it's just the most popular right as far as I know if you drink this coffee
surely you will banish the the wind and ghosts from your soul and because now I
want hot coffee in a can at every like possible opportunity and go talk to a
human being oh no coffee you could always just buy a coffee maker and get
good at making coffee no the problem can you can get Amazon to send you
coffee in Japan no it has to be a robot you don't get it no I do I've done it
before I have to put any effort into this process at all it's worthless well
then then you want to worry you won't get addicted to it yeah I feel good like
just plopping a hundred yen coin in it feels fucking amazing yeah it's yeah I'm
down with Pat because anytime I get fed food or drink by somebody that is not
myself that made it it tastes ten times better yeah absolutely and just like
every single like Willie you had you talked about this like not last week but
two weeks every single piece of food I have eaten here is the best of that piece
yeah yeah yeah and not even necessarily from a fancy place or anything like no
like there's no like your mind next to the guest house there's this nice little
chain restaurant called Coco's and if you looked at it yeah it would look like a
Denny's or something of that caliber you know just like oh it's the shit fucking
right and you go in there and I had like chicken steak and it's the best chicken
I've ever had in my life I ordered the big American apple pie on their big
America menu and it's the best apple pie I've ever had that's not Japan at a
fast food place right no one does American food better than Japan no
specific to Coco's and a couple other places like that how great is it to sit
at a table and do whatever the fuck you want and have a button to call them when
you're ready it's so it's so useful I'm ready for you yes but then you run into
the problem where you hit the button and all I know of Japanese right now is for
ordering food and it's Kodeku desai it's like this please yes yeah and that level
of mastery causes the assumption of a total level of master yeah at which
point the nice lady serving me jabbers on I don't know about the grudges she
spouts kanji at you yeah and just you have to dodge it I end up looking yeah I
end up looking to my girlfriend and going hell so yeah I mean this is just
give this like wide-eyed stare and just be like just run away just throw your
arms up and they'll chase you and give you exactly what you were thinking of
this woman is as pointed in this direction she says we should go there and
you look up and you're like okay let's open up into this house and you're
inside the grudge house you're like I didn't understand what she was saying
about the food side quest accepted so yeah how's the jet lag how's the place
jet okay jet lag in jet lag is real path yep oh boy that plane but like you
willy because our sleeping schedules are so jacked in the first place within
like two days I started going to bed at 10 o'clock and waking up at six in the
morning like a normal yeah yeah like like people are supposed to do doesn't
feel weird it feels great I wish I could do it back home yeah I'm gonna try and do
it back home so you guys have the same problem where you go to bed at like 5 a.m.
and wake up at like three or some shit like that that's it that's it all right
good that's not ever ever since I started to go to college my brain just
wants that as well in general I would say yeah I don't actually everyone like
like 95 yeah I tend to do the most work from for some reason midnight to 6 a.m.
and I have yeah exactly yes you're completely right like efficiency doubles
yeah the midnight hour let's play yeah it's the only time you're actually awake
yeah so in the afternoon you're just like right what have you done so far yeah
how's the actual let's see I went down to Dotonbori I saw oh man going down to
Dotonbori like you and I must have had a very different experience woolly
because you didn't play yakuza too sure and going down there and standing on
that bridge all like this giant amazing cityscape with these like huge neon
skyscrapers and all I can think about all I can think about is that they've
added another safety rail on the bridge that would make it impossible for cure
you to throw guys off like that's it aside from specific locations I'll get
to a couple more of those in a second dude you were talking all sorts of love
about the trains here mm-hmm what is wrong with you woolly these are the
worst trains that have ever existed no I have ever been created wait what are you
actually why yeah pause right here whenever Pat's been anywhere yeah you
go this sucks really hard compared to where I live mm-hmm yes this or is that
just like you you're just not used to it no that's a no this is a different thing
that okay there's plenty of that also because I'm because I'm a baby but no
it's like the trains are smooth quiet reliable like the machine that you use
yeah to get on them is awesome the people at the station are helpful the
problem is that you get on the train and then it doesn't go where you want to go
cuz you don't know where you're going no you the train says your station and
you get on it and the guy on them on the intercom says your station and then you
watch as you fly by your station and up like 30 minutes away why I have been
getting lost on these trains a lot well I like you go to the wrong place and
oh this wrong place was better than our destination oh I'm at the house that's
usually been pretty close to the case there you go like and like clean holy
shit no litter clean yeah no litter yeah no litter no litter nowhere there's no
time to litter when you have to play monster hunter mm-hmm I saw a single
like piece of garbage on the ground and the cops and the cops were circling it
and then everyone looks at it goes and goes that's where the gaijin were the
forerunners yeah yeah exactly that's the running joke yeah so I and like I like
I've run into probably the weirdest like scenario like the the the experience
will you you encountered this and I'm encountering it especially with my
girlfriend the the experience of being other of like everyone is staring at me
everyone is doing all the time like a notorious monster it's awesome it's
awesome no and also you people that told me in Japanese folks were short you
lied it's not really the case they're kind of the same kind of height yeah they're
still taller than me oh were you expecting some kind of ego boost I
was expecting to be able to see over at least like one person's head that was
going to go again for a minute let him have that I remember on Twitter I saw
Takahata is also going to Japan he's like I can't wait to be six to and walk
around and I was like you should also probably call yourself Emperor
Clobbersaurus because that's what you should do and do the Steiner voice just
do the Steiner voice exactly yeah so I went down to Dotonbori which is amazing
like just the scale and like I wish we had little bridges that overlooked like
entire city skylines back home mm-hmm I went to a cool little barcade called
Space Station mm-hmm where I had a Zangief which is a strong white Russian
love it which is a thing which is fantastic yeah nothing special just put
more blood good yeah I want chest hair on the glass yeah well I don't need
anymore but I went down to Nara well you went to Nara also right fucking dear
those deer don't have their their their head they're not their heads cause they
don't have their antlers anymore thank God like when I got in the first thing I
saw was this nice little lady like trying to feed them and one of them like
headbutt at her near to the floor and her face is really in headbutt style just
rawr yeah and it's an eggus deflector it's like a cow's fur off the stride
the deer just do unblockables all day long in Japan yeah exactly she's getting up
and he's like ball overhead what get to work anyway yeah so well you are now
right so this giant amazing beautiful like picturesque temple like surrounded
by all these deer everywhere and it's the it's like a postcard except for the
fact that every square millimeter of ground is just covered with deer shit
I was about to say every and and the trick to get around the fact that your
national monument is like just covered in feces is to tell people that it's good
luck yeah absolutely yep yep yep I hope you wore different shoes that day yes I
did good smart that's what even then I washed them so so fuck it I went down
to Osaka Castle which is both bigger and smaller than I expected okay like from
a distance it looks like really really large I like everything else in this
country like this guy like building wise and when I got up close to it I'm just
like how are you like how is Ryu supposed to fight oh yeah yeah it's like
jump down like there's just not enough on there yeah how about that moat that dude
yeah dude it's beautiful it's a really nice like it's useful sure for the
invading hordes or whatever but yeah it's just beautiful but yeah that
foundation is like the biggest part of the whole fucking castle did you go up
to it and you look up and it's all like in your face it's just all foundation and
then it like way way up above you it's pretty castle did you read the story
for of like the family in the castle and no bunaga and all that shit was as
you're talking about with the little the holograms yeah with the little TVs yeah
exactly did it look just like the opening Donnie Moosa three pretty much
exactly the same just was already a part of Japanese history yeah definitely he
was a second man yep I'm looking at all this stuff and all this history and all
these dioramas and I'm overwhelmed with this feeling of ignorance because it's
all no bunaga and Hideyoshi right and all I can think of is I don't know
anything about these people other than no bunaga is apparently Satan and he has
his good ambition final boss of like a dozen games yeah that Hideyoshi's the
other guy yeah she was a second yeah but then don't forget Mitsuhide oh he's the
guy with the fight guess what's gonna happen and then talk it a shingan kicks
all their asses it happens how many times Liam every how many dynasty war
every fucking game no but in samurai warriors and every every anime season
there's like three of them Square Enix released two different IPs based on that
in the past two years like it's too much I love it but there's too much like when
old ladies watch like old timey like you know Humphrey Bogart movies are like
soap operas they're like oh this is just like my stories I really like it like
Japanese women be playing dynasty worthy oh it's just like my story oh that
lube it like is no bunaga supposed to be a good guy or a bad guy he's an anti
hero is that correct he's kind of like he's kind of like shadow oh my god
the hedgehog no bunaga yeah he is all he is and he had a big gun yeah one step
forward cycle I just play it was pure I just played shadow the hedgehog for the
first time last yeah well they were having a theme for Halloween where we
don't play scary games we play horrific hedgehog games so we're just playing a
lot of bad sonic games so basically able to complete shadow oh fuck no maybe I
got to the third level and I was just like please turn it off it's offensive
to my eyes okay so it was your own will gave out on that oh yeah we have it we
have a call it moment where I'm calling it we should have that well we and I have
a certain affinity for that game and we pushed our LP to the end despite two
crashes at the most climactic moment the game had no will yeah we wanted to go
further but the game stopped us and we got exactly where you guys find the ps2
version thank you oh the gamecube ps2 version runs at maybe seven frames a
second oh okay maybe awesome when a good moments so it's okay so offensive to the
eyes of course it's not good it's got 12 endings though yeah it does it's a good
yeah so anything else about about neon yeah two things one willy did you end up
going to your boss camera no I didn't god damn it this is the best that like
this is like I went to temples I went to castles this camera store
clear is an electronic store at this point well it says camera on the side no
no it is still called you're the boss you can only you've been there right I've
been to live in there are all the electronic the big okay so I wanted
those in the softbaps I just this isn't like this is an eight floor electronic
store that is like larger than was it the one that spooky went to in his video
because it was also there's a lot of them there's a chain yeah so the first
impression is this is the brightest place I have ever been in my life it has
the brightest halogen lights off on every corner of the ceiling on every
shelf everywhere it is searing it is like walking into the electronic like
hell of the it literally purifies your skin yes and then you wander up to the
gate like there's restaurants at the top under the assumption that you're just
going to spend the whole day here yeah for like to get a mental image man it's
like if you go to a Best Buy but the floors are bigger and with then they're
densely packed with stuff much more dense and there's eight of them yeah like
this thing's fucking massive yeah and spin spooky's video of it it was like
very clear that this is like this is the culture is we need eight floors of
electronics we'll build absolutely so you go up to the game aisle it's the not
aisle sorry floor or and it's the best floor of anything I but you're
salivating it's awesome isn't it because you go and you have your games your
systems your extreme novelty items mm-hmm like your monster hunter 3ds case
mm-hmm right next to that is all of your Jojo in the Jojo corner of course right
next to that is all of your your your boy romance novels next novels right where
it should be it's it's it's like amazing everything you could ever want is
right there mm-hmm and that's where the problem ran into too much choice I want
I walked in there mm-hmm and I look over and every single wall is just covered
with hey man you know what's out right now monster hunter 4g yeah out right now
hey look at that that's a new 3ds right over there don't touch it just look at
there right there right there and like Bayo's there like Wolf Bayo's will be
there by the time I get back every every thing is there from wall to wall so I
end up just pacing back and forth in this camera store and long story short I
may have made a stupid series of purchases oh I may be bringing back a
new 3ds hunter and a couple of mountains of boy love novels yeah maybe maybe so
what you're saying is that's not the now now now now now mount splash for take me
there right yeah yes okay that's that's much it Matt so I'd like to announce the
starting today Liam I'm gonna need your help learning Japanese I'm not gonna get
really appreciate it I'll help with what little I can that being said like the new
3ds have any of you touched it anywhere okay so no but I want to ask did you get
the new 3ds or new 3ds XL I got the new 3ds okay did you see the thing that the
new 3ds XL loads faster than the new 3ds no it does it does apparently notice
noticeably there's a good comparison on Kotaku actually that's absurd it's
absurd I can only assume the components are either too big to fit in the new
3ds or they didn't spring for them because they charge more for the XL
wait for the bad news with a smile on your face well while he's still in
Japan and can fix it if he so chooses no no I'm not gonna I'm not gonna quote
unquote fix this no it's not a mistake I mean you know just that's weird to hear
because everything on the new 3ds like loads like way faster super quick yeah
it's like like noticeable difference yeah but it's still like more than twice as
fast as the old one yeah monster take advantage of any of the new stuff yeah
it does not a lot but it's it's the standout game for the analog no it's the
one they use in all the promotion yeah because that game desperately desperately
desperately needs it and I'm like pseudo convinced that just like the pro
controller for the Wii was pretty much invented for Monster Hunter try yeah
like I'm more or less convinced that this analog nob exists purely for
Monster Hunter yeah there's a very good chance of that yeah if the country of
Japan could not somehow physically support Monster Hunter Calcom would make
it so that the government would have to attach something to the islands to make
sure Monster Hunter could stay yeah like that's the power mm-hmm so the new
3ds like the smaller one yeah this is it's it feels a lot like the DS light in
that this is the version that they should have come out with originally mm-hmm
like this this is like there's nothing wrong with it and it has a bigger screen
than the new than the original 3ds smaller than it has a really nice middle
ground that's not a perfect size screen it has the absolutely perfectly size
screen where the original was too small mm-hmm and the XL is like freakishly too
huge it stretches it way too much yeah yeah it's like oh yeah I really want to
stare at this giant like inch wide pixel yeah this thing is perfect and it's the
finish is Matt it's act they finally Matt yeah Matthew
smart and gave it a matte finish yeah now did you buy a Monster Hunter like
decal not decal what do they call the cover case there not the case but though
the top clip on the face please face play that's the word ah no I didn't get
any face plates okay I I'm looking at it like this is already a really stupid
decision right I'm not gonna I'm not gonna just throw more stupid on the pile
besides the white and black ones look fantastic yeah yeah so it doesn't feel
like real money it's free money willy the convention the conversion is not that
difficult like it it makes sense yeah this isn't like I'm buying $500 worth of
boxers and then realize oh wait this is $500 for the box see as funny as that is
that was super exaggerated and they're nowhere near that much I don't know why
no no no don't ruin it don't ruin the illusion they were like 30 to 40 bucks
each it wasn't that bad I bought six of them and their underwear they're really
nice they're the nice how last are they gonna how long are they gonna last
forever because I'm never wearing them again yeah exactly they're going up on
the mantel there I'm gonna display them behind glass yeah I really appreciate
the content warning in that video by the way guys thanks for that
absolutely that's the reaction I was a reaction yeah
no if anyone thought I had shame you were wrong no well you don't have any
shame well why would anyone well exactly yeah cuz I was telling me that I got a
message from someone that was like really dude and I was like who in the
world would I would say really to any of us yeah guys this channel is just like
a slow countdown until it's just a penis mashed into a camera lens
see like that's really our next you still have some integrity that's pretty
hype you can escape well you can and then like even incredulously that
somehow gets slapped with a content ID warning
Nintendo owns that they own that and then they said no no no reaction no
reaction just a soft man right into the lens we have our quarterly meetings
that's always the end goal and we see ourselves ticking towards there but you
know absolutely right on the new shirt is just gonna be you managing with the
chopsticks and everything oh man chopsticks are no problem yeah that's
not an issue people in Japan are really impressed that like chopsticks but like
we use you know that Japan has seen the fork but it's not like they're plowing
40 acres with a couple of pool cues but I believe like I believe like I don't know
I see Pat as being the kind of guy that would just suffer some reason just get
them and just well no do you think that cuz I have horrible stubby fingers that
aren't good for chopsticks saying yes that's exactly the reason why that
answers that question that's how you get to Carnegie Hall you practice yeah as
long as they don't bring you the pity knife and fork yeah no that hasn't
happened yet because they have those usually meals are accompanied with
chopsticks and then over to the side is this is like a box of Western utensils
yeah like a whole case of them isn't it really cool how they just have a ton
there so like hey you drop whatever I'll just get a new one you know yeah or you
know let's get a new one you just have them no need to ask for replacements or
anything it's just handy but did you talk about the towels no but they're the
best thing ever dude how did you not talk about my food towel there was just
other stuff going on man I don't know but you're right tell them about every
single restaurant like a proper sit down place a hot towel to wash your hands
with before the meal and every single one and it's not like like a wet nap or
anything like it's a towel it is it is the equivalent of a tiny barbers
hot towel I never had two places in like North America I remember getting some
sort of hot towel and I asked whoever I was with what the hell yeah and then
they're like oh it's just like a pre meal towel do I eat it am I supposed to eat
the yeah no you don't do I'm supposed to eat the towel okay Pat you have to you
have to start a camera and then just eat the next towel and see what everyone
I'm not gonna eat the towels these nice wait for the camera you have to eat it
or wash your back with it salt if you take off your shirt and wash your pits
listen to you motherfuckers like kicked out of this country but they never got
kicked out so maybe they're onto something yeah Pat gets back home on a
dinghy I made it two years from now two years later oh that'd be nice I made it
hey guys unpack what I miss what's what's going on
Marvel 5 came out they skipped 4 yeah is SNK still alive yeah well this
Doki Doki Majo Shimpan 4 alive yeah yeah probably I've been seeing a lot of
like near copies of that all over the place dude are you gonna hit up an on
send because I highly recommend no no way I know I know it's a little
uncomfortable but it's no way man I'm telling you the sensation is like
nothing else it's a sense that no no way hell no no no that doesn't want to
screw that Japanese people with his giant dick there you go that's not quite
exactly the sentiment but I'll take it I'm confused is this like a Japanese
cuddle bar no it's a it's a it's a hot as the bath and it's just traditional
it's a Honda snage oh okay okay okay that's all you had to say basically yeah
every episode of every anime that's that play yeah that's that part where
Takamura runs up to you and grabs your dick for no reason to make fun of how
well-endowed you are that's big and shameful and meanwhile on the girl's
side they're like oh my can't believe how big this one's boobs are but no
honestly just the the hot spring like feeling it feels good oh you can't make
yeah I'm just saying you spent some money to get to the place I will fight
you I said this before but do you want to relive the most memorable part of
us or is wrath yeah I can't remember that part oh my god the part where you
can see right up a sir his dad's butt yeah you just stare at girls and monkeys
in his butt that's it that's literally it I was gonna say dude I'm gonna play
more of the search and then burst everywhere don't yeah first thing with
the trains dude the pat is that as confusing and as terrible as it is when
you get on the wrong one and don't get where you want to go yeah look at the
grand scheme of things it's just this perfect harmonious movement of yeah
you're right it's the tightest shit ever run unbelievable like I thought it was
like just me and my girlfriend who can't figure out the trains right that's
what I originally thought like we're not from here can't figure it out right
mm-hmm so that I'm having I'm having drinks with a guy who lives in our
guest house right and I ask him hey man do you understand the trains no really
nobody understands the fucking train I never I'm not gonna lie I never really
had any problems with them at all like it went pretty well I hate you Liam you
know just just take your time check check recheck you know don't get on the wrong
train everyone's making Pat feel bad he should feel bad he's not seems to be the
theme of this friend he should feel great just okay this is the way this is
how the friend cast ever felt the weirdest guilt I'm not getting to the get
naked get into the back figure out the train
good this is not what I expected I signed up for this you're gonna have to
take a bath on the train yeah it'll be fine eat the towel promote they'll promote
when the police bring you in sight cultural differences yeah make sure to
get on the woman-only train while you're doing that oh god remember that
part you really laughed at Godzilla where he's waiting in the police station
and then there's this weird couple that go up and they bring their goth son
like there's yelling out of in Japanese and he's all like
yeah
I'm gonna be going down to Kyoto and Universal Studios in the next couple
days if I'm lucky I'll get to see that biohazard thing yeah I hope it's still
there it is currently still there it just matters whether or not I get to it
okay that'd be really sick you gotta you gotta manage that if I was there
visit Japan and only want to go from one day and that's on Tom Cruise day I
just want to see it what's funny like gigantic balloon being brought down the
streets it's just a big smile universal and where I live is like a special thing
to I always saw the the raccoon city biohazard stuff at Universal Japan in
SoCal Universal and we're all gonna be going next Sunday they're doing Alien
vs. Predator yeah a VP maze of like a crash ship a maze video tour of that it
was like face-huggers that all and I vials and stuff I'm totally trying to
like unspoiler myself so I'm not like watching anything I'm just gonna walk
into it yeah no I did I did pretty much the exact same thing with the biohazard
thing I know that it's there yeah and I've seen like four screens like the
photos people come in and off the street have photos photographs yeah like
people being attacked and like I don't know what I don't want to know what this
is I don't want to know what it is max how's your week man what you've been
playing what you've been up to pretty good I I like like you guys I went on a
vacation pretty recently I just sat on a beach in the Bahamas for about 10 days
and did almost nothing and it was fairly beautiful and and then that time frame I
got back and smashed 3ds came out I've been playing the Japanese one for a
while so I was already kind of well first and outside of that killer instinct
season 2 took up a lot of my week and for the weekend we played evil within for
about eight hours so far into our place you're streaming then 60 frames per
second dude so very easily you can get the PC version to take away the stupid
black bars with with a small modification and as well as the console
command to make it run at 60 and the game looks infinitely better like to the
point of which I'm pissed it does like why why why on that well I'm sorry the
other thing that makes it look amazing you can take off the bullshit color
filter that the entire game has yeah I never it's just there's a color filter
that changes from area to area and it's just always filters everything it's always
like blue or brown yeah blue or brown or yellow or yeah you know how like Ari
five places look really good but some places just it's kind of a big garish
exactly Ari 5 had that green filter in the first area yeah and you can just take
it off the whole game and Ari 5 actually has color like when you when you look at
it without it so if you take that off do the frame per second thing take off the
stupid black bars the game actually looks great I could see why that there's a
chance you could run into some for performance issues yeah yeah that's
what I was gonna ask is the specific wording is you can play at 60 FPS
there may be some quirks like like grass anything like I say physics wise yeah
like the grass might freak out sometimes in some areas like all goes in one
direction it's like well the grass is definitely moody today but like a
negligible kind of stuff yeah something doesn't affect like gameplay you know the
game has its own little quirks you know it's not exactly as polished as like an
Ari 4 played like eight hours of it yeah and I really about like halfway done
so it's a long-ass game it's it's pretty long yeah it took me like 13 hours to
beat it but um outside of that yeah we played Shadow the Hedgehog for the
first time good good good which was just easily the worst part of the last six
years in my life and you play Sonic 06 Max so I played Sonic 06 in 06 like
okay I got it in 06 and I got fucking silver to get me locked up into a
corner wide pick up my own ring repeatedly and get stuck on an infinite
loop of you know it's no use it's no use that happened to everyone I think and I
thought it was just me and that as I was happening I'm like this game is
garbage like in in 2006 so yeah we're gonna revisit that I'm not sure this
are a video but we we chose the opportunity to play Sonic 06 for the
first time at PAX Prime live live and it was it was great that that game is
the most busted piece of shit ever I was way worse than shadow like yeah there's
yeah there's games that are like like hilariously bad like there's just this
game is so bad we can just riff off the entire thing and it's gonna be so much
fun to play how bad it is and then there's Shadow the Hedgehog which is
just fuck bad like I just don't want to anymore so yeah that's about it yeah
sure I I just want to ask since like you touched on them briefly and I mentioned
it earlier what do you think of Ki season 2 and smash 3ds well I was I was
gonna start with smash and say like who you meaning oh mega man all day every
day like I've actually gotten good with them now even though he doesn't play like
a smash character really he plays like Mega Man you know he
plays like a 2d version of Mega Man which is very cute but it doesn't help
when almost like every character I seem to fight has a projectile counter and
they like throwing my forward smash back into my own face and I'm like yeah but
it's it's it's challenging at the same time I've never been really good at a
smash brothers game I feel right and this is the first time I feel like I'm
understanding how things work like I am KOing everyone with back airs you know
and making that happen and and it's a lot of fun and it really helps that the
netcode of this game is fucking sick like it's good and Namco did a really good
job with the netcode you're coming off what is probably the most disappointing
netcode of like the last generation is true exactly like the expectations could
not have been set lower I know it works man yeah and they're they they did
something like I immediately could tell when we were playing the e3 builds of
the 3d version 3ds version and the Wii U version the game has a natural like
frame buffer put into it like the entire game there's like a little stored two or
three frames where your inputs just go and things just come out two or three
frames slower and they use that to back buffer the netcode so when you go online
it doesn't feel as bad because they just use that that's what they do for Soul
Calibur and and Tekken and it works it actually works pretty good that's why a
lot of Tekken tag players hate playing the console version compared to the arcade
because they're okay but it it's it's fantastic like I actually like playing
against Japanese players more because their connections are way better than
most American players even from the West Coast even from West Coast to Japan
those matches are way smoother so hey so I should mention something about Japan
I got here and my girlfriend has this Wi-Fi thing that we've been carrying
around they're amazing aren't they this Wi-Fi thing that costs like thirty five
dollars is faster than my fucking internet at home exactly this just gives
you and it runs on 3g yeah no north america's internet house with it garbage
dude it's it's I'm playing I'm paying three or four times as much for a
wired connection that I can't leave with how big is it like a ghostbusters
backpack no it's like a cell phone oh it is the size it is smaller than my
cell phone holy shit this is bullshit it's it's yeah we have third world
internet compared to some other places yeah I still I still have horrible
internet where I live in California California is like any sort of central
hub for computers or anything no no it's all flash and thunder riots and
earthquakes yeah are you one thing I was gonna say like I guess I'll talk about
it a bit more when I'm playing what I'm talking about my week but with the 3ds
smash like I'm having a lot of fun with it but a big problem that I'm just can't
really get over is the controls oh yeah I'm dying for a gamecube pad because
like the first day of playing I broke my stick oh really you're one of the
really did it yeah my stick is busted man and it's like I'm like one you know
so like it just made it extra worthy trying to play with a nub with your
giant man paws I'm not I'm I'm taking it I'm taking it slowly do small you know
and it's still it let now when I do a character select you hit it in any
direction just a slight tilt and it keeps going his stick doesn't stay
centered and oh so the whole analog I have no dental the whole analog yeah I
have no dead zone it's fucked congratulations you destroyed your 3ds
thing the new 3ds comes out in 2015 right yeah perfect timing with the
announcement it's a good thing that you can you don't worry we have a console
version for you like you know yeah we're gonna break everyone's 3ds
sell them only I remember the Wii U version and make them buy a new 3ds got
you in their pincer you fell into their pace I remember vividly before leaving you
and I were talking and I said you know with all of the the weird niggling
issues on smash 3ds particularly the controls you would be better off to
just wait and you said fuck you Pat that's crazy I'm gonna play that shit the
can I still agree with your 3ds yeah but I'm still playing it yeah on my broke
I'm used I'm like using my garbage little Mac that I can't forward smash
because I'm already holding forward like you know and it and whatever I'm
still doing it yeah whenever somebody asks about the game I'm like get get a
3ds XL like if you were thinking about upgrading or something like that like
get an XL this the screen size helps a lot too I would say the same thing
except like I feel bad because the new 3ds is like right around the corner it's
the problem like I tried playing it on my vanilla 3ds just just for shits and
oh my god oh it's I don't want to say it's unplayable but it's it's pretty
significantly hard I would play against like friends that have it right that's
where a lot of my complaints about the screen size was because I use a 2ds
usually oh yeah so that would be vanilla 3ds size yeah yeah let's take a
quick word from our sponsors guys what if what if I told you what that like
Halloween's nice right it's a good time all that Halloween is pretty nice your

treating you okay I season two it's funny because at the end of season one I
kind of like didn't get a chance to play a lot of the end of season one so jump
into like the lion's den in a way and you got all these dudes that are freaking
amazing and you got to learn fast but it's it's it's a lot I'd like to say the
same and different than season one the season two characters definitely feel a
lot different than season one characters they they're kind of like Maya and
TJ TJ's got some you know goofy easy fun stuff like just powerlining everyone
like crazy but he's also got like a lot of freaking moves like he's almost as
high as like a tech in character yeah yeah yeah because it's because when we
played a many three years just like every button is a different something and
when they're in a combo they also do different things yeah I cancel it it
does more stuff that's like and he's got command grabs and he's got like
invincibility on punches and like it's got command grabs you can combo out of
like he's not there's a lot going on yeah there's and there's almost like too
much going on I felt with TJ and then Maya doesn't have nearly as many moves
she's got like maybe five or so like uppercuts fireball stuff like that but
her she's a character that requires you to go and get things you know like I
have to go and recover stuff off the ground the daggers actually not too
different from that joke me and Willie put in fighter pedia about like cross
deck and had so many systems that there would be like resource man people
mining best being gas Maya Maya plays like that because you can kind of play
or like don't use your daggers that much and just try to do kicks but then
you're not playing like 80% of the character yeah have to learn this like
mechanic that's really like the most expanded upon Cody shit ever yeah
exactly imagine Cody was useless without his knife like I have absorbed
materia on my second dagger that's how in depth it's getting but she's fun
it's just she's she's kind of hard to just to jump in and just get good with
her because she she can be sort of stiff just like walking around she's got a
really slow walk speed and dash speed yeah she does but if you do like her
forward jumping thing she becomes like this freaking squirrel like all of a
sudden and she's just everywhere so there's a little bit of a she's like a
seven out of ten you know Spinal's like a nine out of ten or a full goers like an
eight and she's like right under him you know what I mean I was about because I
was about to say like spinal and full gore like I think like all those new
characters when they popped up everyone kind of went ah how do I do what what
exactly so it's more of that kind of thing it's kind of it kind of is TJ I
feel is like maybe a five maybe a six like saber wolf is at the bottom at
like a three or two yeah exactly but right now I don't know about the next
character you said something in your in one of your videos I think we were
talking about ripter or a cinder yeah is that you really hope that iron galaxy
puts in like another three yes no absolutely like another just plain
rush down yeah totally there there needs to be some other guy that like people
can just like hopefully you'll be sender or ripter because yeah I character I
press back forward and buttons and I get combos and and stuff yeah I feel
ripped or ripped or should be that and then sender should be one level above
that you know what I mean because they're both like this the staple boys of
season two or I'm sorry ripters a chick my bad yeah we getting that but yeah it's
they need to be easier to use I hope but if they're complicated regardless I
just hope they look cool you know when Maya does her stuff like and it's working
it looks really cool and it's a lot of fun but when you throw a dagger and you
lose it it's like oh man I saw that Maya trailer like Premier at TGS it kind of
blew my mind a little and I was like oh my god why is this like why is an
American game blowing my mind so backwards with the Maya trailer is
incredible I have faith because I mean like if you can take a skeleton and
dress them up like that and make the badass that is yeah final yeah I think
you can take fire dude well and do something interesting with it oh yeah
with enough you know that that was that was double helix I have but I have a
hundred percent but have you seen Maya in combo no like well no I do think that
they started development at at double helix frankly my yeah maybe I think we'll
have to wait and see the other characters yeah I was one of the most
nothing characters of originally yeah in Ki two so now when me and Willie saw
Maya for the first time we were like oh my god like did you guys see the you know
like Kevin Bayless the guy that did all the original art for Ki and the characters
and everything he's doing the costumes for season 2 like the alternate not
alternate costumes yeah I can't wait to see those because I think he said in a
tweet or something like recently like or maybe it was Keats but they're just like
you can't you guys won't believe like TJ's retro costume TJ's leak like that
TJ's actually on the forums here I'll grab the link while I'm talking about it
so I can just show you guys in in the good yeah sure okay yeah see cuz Matt
sent me a link to the thing where like you can dress up TJ like fucking kick
yes and I was like oh and Kimbo slice like it's great he looks more like
Kimbo slice than Kimbo slice yes he does it's the Kimbo slice we have in our
heads so just can Willie look up upon a star and wish and pray that maybe other
dive kit characters maybe a certain other one yeah lightning guy can look like
the other lightning guy maybe they both have white eyes I swear to God the blue
silhouette was Zubas that would be nice Willie goddamn we would collectively lose
our shit for seven days and nights so I drop it in there you guys can take a
look at it if you want I'm pretty happy with it okay cuz cuz you and I also
feel the same about TJ's general look yeah like the default is like fine but I
wish it could look like it actually no no I like I like it not bad it's just not
that is ridiculously exciting you know fighting it's Balrog beating like
fighting black guy I think it's a bit less than Balrog washed up fighting black
guy TJ come on fighting to get paid that's always the black guy motivation
but it's except for King Cobra it all comes down to shoes at the end and they
had to cancel King Cobra because his motivations were different what is
dude look at the concept art so that's okay that's basically TJ combo from
killing KI yeah so I'm gonna throw the link in for the people for people while
who's we're listening at home but it's he's got like camo pants and boots yeah
and the eye patch what red white and blue striped like tattered like it looks
like he's got robot hands which I'm digging and he's got it like a like a
sleekly little American tank top and the eye and the eye patch now in the deep
KI lore TJ combo had beef with ripter and I think it was establishing
K2 that a ripter is the one that took his eye out oh yeah but TJ like killed
ripter or something like that yeah he killed her dad kill killed that's that's
not a great like rendering like he looks kind of goofy and cartoon well it's
yeah it's really very stylized but I'll I'll I'll play that costume yeah it's
pretty it's pretty hype I'm actually a big fan of it already yeah cuz it makes
him a little more not just boxer guy like to have both sides of it from the
bottom down that is what alt thunder has as well kind of camo boots yeah yeah
so it's like army bros fighting that's a good team it is that's a good team
well if you walk by those fights in season three you know you'll appreciate it
oh my god those two fighting in like the factory stage but what game is this you
know anything like hi at that point yeah small soldiers so thanks for letting us
on that I had no idea that that week yeah yeah this is drop somewhere along
the line and some guy threw it to me I was like holy god I like it it's like
straight Robocop I like it Liam how was your week man my week was pretty solid
I guess so like two main things I want to talk about first one is evil within
evil within is really good I really like that game a lot it starts off super
fucking slow oh I so agree with you after I think the first chapters abysmal
yeah I so agree with you for clarity I've beaten the game twice now so like I've
played it quite a bit it follows the formula of like horror action games so
Resident Evil 4 through revelations Dead Space 1 through 3 you know those kind of
games to a tee and of course like the county kind of invented the new game
plus loop that is so popular in those games and I know people who really enjoy
replaying those games a lot like myself are finding that it is excellent
especially in the post game where like you go through and you know the
weaknesses of every enemy and you blitz it now you know like a specific powerup
that you get and I was like whoa that sounds good yeah for example like when
you beat the game you start unlocking extra weapons and one of them is like
brass knuckles and your melee becomes good and your melee becomes are you
serious yeah absolutely the game like becomes way funner on the replay on the
first playthrough like I definitely think it's weaker than say RE4 but not
worse than like not worse than RE6 you know yeah somewhere around are you what
about RE5 somewhere around RE5 but there's no co-op bullshit so great your
mileage may vary right that's funny how good RE5 became after 6 came out
kind of amazing amazing experience with RE5 where I played locally online with my
roommate who had his TV right next to mom oh that's awesome and we had an
amazing time with RE5 I don't know anybody who's ever played that game
without without co-op well I tried to play it alone and I was like oh I beat
that game of four times by myself seriously did you have the same
impression that you kind of liked it or did you so so I went through and I was
like this is fantastic but I couldn't love it because the co-op like issues
with Sheva yeah everywhere the problem wasn't even like her attacking or dying
it was just the inventory management between like you and her and like using
ammo mm-hmm but like yeah you're completely right where like it came out
and everyone's like even though it was really good it's like it's not as good
as RE4 yeah and then RE5 RE6 came out and you got to see like how bad it
could be without Makami there yeah and you got this swell of appreciation for
like RE5 was actually really great action game yeah I said it before I'll say it
again the only good thing in that game is mercenaries like the mercenaries are
you six amazing I'd say RE6 Leon's beginning campaign everything before you
go to China like in Leon's campaign is okay the beginning of Leon's like some
parts of Adas and specific parts of Chris's yeah it's balls to the wall
action kind of like mercenaries play really well the other stuff I never
touched anyone's campaign after I see Leon's like I never just go if you ever
want to play it boot it up the Ada thing has been patched to be unlocked by
default play Adas yeah the best one that thing you're saying though about like
playing local with your roommate yeah I had a similar experience with the
Castlevania harmony of despair right yeah it's like the game most people just went
fuck right but I played it locally with two roommates and we were all in the
same house like yelling at each other from room to room playing together and
just had like an artificially better experience because that's the best
possible setup yeah um otherwise it's weird though what you're saying with
the the fact that you have to do a loop first before you start getting into the
good like I said most people will not even do that well I guess like this is
kind of coming from a perspective of like a guy who like replays these horror
action games many times like right like Dead Space 2 is one of my favorite games
of all time along I got to play those games man you're like completely right
incredible games and you got to play them over and over because they get
better and better as you get better at them okay and like you know like I said
it's weaker than RE4 on the first playthrough probably somewhere around
RE5 and like it has its own identity it doesn't yeah as much as it basically has
Pyramid Headman and it basically plays like Resident Evil, modern Resident Evil
um yeah and the chainsaw guy yeah it doesn't like after I played through it
twice I didn't feel like I was looking at it and just saying oh it's just that's
like a Resident Evil guidance I didn't feel like that it has its own feel you
know you're using environmental items a lot more like the torches and the
matches and the bottles and stuff there's a lot more importance placed on like
knowing how to handle enemies specifically yeah whereas in like Resident
Evil you can more or less just blast them shoot them in the head space yeah and Dead
Space just cut off the limbs until they die but in this one there's a bit more
strategy with the bolts like the crossbow bolts the agony bolts and it's a
really fun game definitely a bit rougher around the edges than are like all
those re's and Dead Spaces except for Dead Space 3 one of the ways that we end
up like describing the game is like usually by saying it's RE4 and another
game and I'm completely sure with saying evil within is RE4 and eternal
darkness put together yeah like if I had to pick another game to go with Resident
Evil 4 for that definitely eternal darkness it's yeah and holy shit the
thing that it does where it constantly switches environments of you is on you
is so seamless yeah okay so I have to ask sure you mentioned environmental
switching and that you've beaten the game twice yeah I played maybe the I
played the first chapter and I stopped when I saw the very first zombie or
haunted or whatever the fuck they're called yeah and it and it was a like
of incredibly clear homage to the first yeah so what with this this game being
kind of RE4-ish I have to ask just like RE5 did it does this go Village Castle
Island it definitely goes Village okay it it does have like a bunch of
distinct areas I wouldn't say it's so cut and dry as as that because you you end
up like returning to areas because it's all chunks of people's minds right so
like not as cut and dry as Village Castle Island but like there is a
progression and there is kind of like I like it's hard to dance around it there's
a lot of variety that's for sure there's a lot of variety and there's more
variety than there was in RE4 as far as environments go right it's it's very good
at that actually so yeah I wouldn't want to spoiler anything but it's it's really
kind of crazy like playing this game and just under a month ago I played through
Bayo 2 and you have these two kind of like ex Capcom masters you got like yeah
yeah and his team like you know and the guys that Kamiya taught making Bayo 2
and then you have Mikami coming back and doing kind of the same thing that he
always kind of does yeah and both games are just riddled with references just
absolutely like everywhere there's just nods to old stuff I mean I don't want to
spoiler anything and evil with them but there's some stuff that it's like oh shit
like oh my god this is awesome it's really good lots of great homages in
there you're totally totally right I guess like my only like real complaints is
like yeah the letterboxing kind of sucks I after the first playthrough I kind of
got used to it when I was just like blasting through it so that kind of
sucks there's no like mercenaries eskimo there's no you love your mercs but
there's only the campaign right I don't know you're I don't want online
multiplayer but there's no challenge you know it's just the campaign yeah and
it's fun but that's all there is to it and if you don't want cutscenes tough get
cutscenes you can skip most of them but whatever yeah I'm excited for the DLC I
hope it I hope it varies that because you get to play as a safe head man and the
female detective and there's some other stuff no no Tetris attack puzzle style
yeah exactly oh man resneal sex you had that shit down the DLC down and the
other thing for me this week I'm gonna try to talk quickly about it was the
PlayStation TV came out last week and I had some time to like really sit down
and use it for a full week the PlayStation TV the PlayStation TV it's
taken me a long time to get away from calling it the Vita TV but you know
get in there finally here so is it still useless to us well it has HGCP so
until until we get around it yes so it is a terrible media box for the time
being if you're if you're looking for a media box wait wait until that gets the
support because Hulu's not there but they said they're coming okay Netflix has
said two different things from two different people it's coming the media
we're supporting it and the other one said what exactly like crunchy rolling
crackle other two crackle crackles got all right stuff but it's so it's
restricted because I did see that you're like oh you're getting ready your
second one and I was like yeah same here I was gonna grab the second one
somebody else got it yeah exactly but you're saying now that on the media box
side of on the media box it's really weak right now but you know multiple
companies have said we're gonna support it and you know that's one of the things
that Sony has managed to keep supporting on the Vita is having apps coming out
that are like media apps so you know the the media support will come but for now
the media supports terrible as far as like it being a console on a budget it's
great obviously like look at the compatibility list if you want to play
Teraway and Gravity Rush don't get one yeah you know you want a proper Vita but
if you just want to play Persona 4, Danganronpa, Velocity, Tails, Freedom Wars
whatever it's a hundred bucks like it fits the price as long as you've got a
controller and you're going physical yeah so really give me back my Vita
yeah but like for like there's three groups of people I think this is really
good for number one is obviously like the Vita diehards like the power users
who buy like two games a month plus PlayStation Plus where it's just like
people who love the Vita will get a lot out of this and they'll enjoy just being
able to go back and forth I know I tried playing Killzone Mercenary and just
transferring my data back and forth and playing it on the Metro and then playing
it at home works really seamlessly and I was really happy with that I think kids
will get a lot out of it and like to that end it's just a cheap console to buy
for kids it's the cheapest way to get Minecraft at the kids hand right if you
want them to have their own hardware and not buy them a computer this is the
cheapest way to do it so and like otherwise again it's for people who
want like three or four Vita exclusives but don't want to shell out 200 plus
dollars for the hardware itself and I want to play them at home yeah on my
TV on your TV you know that said I would still recommend the handheld console
because you know gravity rush tear away and stuff but you know you still get
sole sacrifice on Freedom Waters and Killzone and like there's so many games
that are still supported that I I think it's a good machine but no the
compatibility list or you're disappointed right yeah Liam how does it look
what does it output to well yeah okay so it the Vita runs at 540p so QHD and
that looks fantastic on the like less than five inch Vita screen this is
outputting at 720 or 1080i if you hate good resolutions okay and it's 540
stretched to 720 so some games like and I popped in a few to check like Project
Eva persona Killzone these games look great they look you know obviously it's
not native 720 but they look pretty damn good being scaled up I was really
surprised games that don't look good like order lands look worse than they've
ever looked terrible but like even games that are like just under native
resolution like soul sacrifice Delta they still held up and I was I was pleased
with it you know even though it's below you know 720 it still looks pretty good
you know for reference it's looking better than a week you know so Liam when
you say it goes to 720 you mean it fills up the entire television screen yeah
absolutely yeah and also yeah if you play PSP games on it you do get the full
screen as opposed to just a little tiny chunk that's awesome because I remember
games at 480 exactly what they were outputted at you know and it's looks
good it's a handy machine yeah so you know good good this thing always seemed
like it was gonna be really interesting for me and then I I just started
downloading PlayStation one games on PlayStation Network when I needed them
yeah like if you have that already is there really any reason to go and get it
um no like if you know again I think this is really for the people who again
want to play a couple of the Vita exclusives and don't want to shell out
200 plus you don't already have a ps3 controller lying around or whatever yeah
it still doesn't support the DualShock 4 oh it does but I'm assuming this is
someone with not a ton of money and okay but yeah if you have a DualShock 4 by
all means that works and I have a DualShock 4 but not a that's true you do
yeah and you can use the touchpad on the DS4 as a replacement for the front
touchscreen on the Vita so that does really you can you totally can a lot of
like there's a lot of like outright misinformation in some reviews like the
gizmodo review is terrible because it's got like just huge mistakes but you can
totally do that and like there's a lot of stuff that people are saying you can't
do but you totally can okay it's a it's a solid machine I was surprised I was
expecting worse frankly but again don't expect you know it's a bargain machine
it's a hundred bucks and you get what you pay for it's not a ps4 it's not top of
the line 1080p every game on the market it's it's there for the people who want
it for these couple of purposes and for those couple of purposes it fits it
really well you know okay but otherwise you know yeah yeah check the
compatibility that's the end rule anyway fun device good stuff cool as as far as
my week goes not not too much I was just basically playing catch up with all the
shit that I missed while I was abroad the Hyrule Warriors yeah Hyrule Warriors
crammed in um that's that's something that I'm really I'm having fun with it
but I'm really really glad that I have I didn't touch Muso games before this yeah
because like the formula is fresh to me you know what I mean like I've never had
to I never played any similar games except for I guess guilty here overture
similar thing played the Fist of the North Star ones just as a curiosity I
just yeah I played the demo and I wasn't impressed by the word played really
yeah no I touched the demo and I wasn't impressed by it yeah and oh yeah and I
randomly James Small message me is like guilty your overture is a game that if
you revisit it apparently has a lot going on and I'm like we're all right
yeah don't listen to his lies I want to find out I want to find that I'm
curious but no Hyrule Warriors is fun and I'm really I guess one thing I was
expecting more of was I didn't think the the enemies because okay the the the
crowds they move in no the crowds of moblins and whatever like they don't
it they're nothing they're just paper they're not real move like water you
know they're there for is to kill them to take over a keep yes yeah but and then
you see the actual enemies the guys you can lock on to captain's yeah you know
and like I'm once you're fighting one of those guys I was expecting a bit more
of a fight and not really just a dodge wait for the opening and now slash last
last well while you block to bait them to sure but the main component but the
big bosses that kind of resemble more of the the Zelda formula style boss is a
giant and that stuff you have to use an item drop them down and open them up you
know yeah feels a bit more like but these the captains I really just found a
lot of them are just universally like just stand around wait for them to miss a
common last what they are and then go that's flashing I was hoping for a bit
more to the combat sure um you know probably a real friend and play co-op and
you'll have a good time I guess I did you know I really really like this version
of Impa like only did you did you did you get Impa's Naginata no yeah that
weapon is way more fun to use it's way more fun until you finish it's way more
fun until you unlock all the moves for the big Goron Sword and you're like no I
was wrong but because I'm almost maxed out on her moves of the big Goron
yeah and that like the jump that the all the water teleport things are just so
fucking cool um I really really hate Lana of course you do she's just like
she's nothing it's fanfiction man yeah it's the whole game is already fanfiction
and then it's like fanfiction to a 10th degree yeah yes exactly and to the point
where you're like okay how bad of a Mary Sue is this well now the three of them
are doing the Triforce forget Gannon Lana's got the Triforce of Power she's
the Poochie and she's the one and like it wouldn't even be as bad if I could
stand looking at her right but her design her design is so just super robot
Wars OG like forgettable character yeah you know hair flip hair flip colors random
though is that one of her attacks have like like Deku shit and Kokiri stuff I'm
like no give that to someone else give that to Saria Saria I actually spear give
that to Saria she's dead for a reason I could get 100% not care about the
character because she has some of those movies I'm like I want to see them
occasionally yeah yeah yeah exactly did you get her third move list I don't think
third oh no their third weapon she's got the books and then the Deku spear and
then her third weapon and that is really okay okay all right um I don't think it's
gonna turn us around on how stupid yeah her character design is terrible but
it's like oh wow that is a really fucking unless you say it's like Cestus or
like at me and Rudra link as well has a really cool weapon that I think max
might know about but it's not common knowledge yet so yeah I will warriors is
interesting because it's like the best looking Zelda as well now like
technically yeah yeah just everything like art and design wise to a lot of
this stuff just looks great and I want I want to folk I want a big Zelda game
please please can we yeah yeah I also I'm also gonna like just I want to dump
on that moment of we need now that we're doing Zelda fanfiction let's take
dumb anime tropes and stick them in Zelda which didn't have any exposure to
this before so hey link you're getting a little bit cocky you're getting a
little bit fool yourself with the master sword well don't forget that the power
of friendship is the real way to burp that fucking power of friendship moment
is the most bullshit now look that's bad and it doesn't fit a Zelda game but it
does fit a mooso game well that you have to work together when I was a bunch of
people what I told woolly last night is think about Tecmo Koei and their writing
they did not have to write samurai warriors or dynasty warriors true that
history already exists the other stuff is crossover stuff and like warriors
Orochi which is it's fanfiction it's just fanfiction well I like the only game
that has any competent writing from them as far as I'm concerned is Tokiden but
even then it's not amazing so they've never been like no I just know that
while the friendship thing is stupid like in terms of the the context of the
gameplay oh you have to be over there or helping us out certainly but I just
I front it's fucking dumb just everyone jumps in and blocks them and they look
and they pick them up I don't like it's like what did you expect man just just
vanilla Zelda you know no doesn't have any more characters than just link and
it's like it's like they kept link silent and they gave him proxy because if
he started talking he'd be talking about protecting things also also the
fairies fucking name is proxy yeah like that's great I love it no I love it
too but besides that I mean you know the combos are fucking nuts and they're
great they're fun to look at they're fun to do yeah and again and is the coolest
I've I can't fucking oh he's so cool that hair so that yeah man that's it you
know really fun game like yeah that's it you know I've been alternating between
the game pad dropping it picking up smash for I like I explained to you
guys that broke my stick on that and so I can't fully really appreciate it but
what do you think now you've got a week to sink your well yeah I really mmm that
control man that control shoes my biggest gripe beyond that there's
definitely I'm feeling what you were talking about with if this is supposed
to be the single-player version why is there not why is that much stuff it
feels kind of bare bones right hey guess what it is bare bones it's a shame
because I love smash so much and I feel pretty bummed by that you know you talked
about how that Angry Birds replacement for board the platforms was terrible and
then I grabbed it and played it like wow you undersold that yeah it's really
terrible like oh my god I can't believe they thought that was a suitable
replacement I could only imagine they didn't have enough time because I don't
want to imagine a worse scenario where he thought that was better than break
the targets and you know something I always used to do back in the day when
I was just kind of bored and wanted to have some fun was jump over to slow mo
melee or just go do that and I was like let me go do that it's like no it's not
there you can't you can go to training mode and slow it down I guess the guy
who told me I was misinformed because if you just play through smash run you
basically get special smash no that's different that is completely different
in melee and brawl I didn't have to play a seven minute thing to play a round of
stamina and I got to pick a round of stamina on top of it yeah um I well I
mean I'm gonna give some credit where it's due yeah master core is great master
core is probably the best thing in that that entire like classic mode that
final sequence is beautiful I really enjoy yeah the way that ends it's like
you go through all the forms and then the final form he's a man and then after
you beat the man you got to break the smash ball yeah smash it out of the
stage to win like I'm like that's great that's what they all should have been
just imagine how it's gonna look on the Wii U version it's gonna look like even
better I'm looking for it should mm-hmm I'm hoping that like they surprise us in
the Wii U version has a different boss not that I don't love solid snake yeah
and draw that'd be nice you know and then Liam we're briefly discussing what
was going on with some of those new characters and stuff and you kind of
look at it and you go like okay so bunch of sword dudes over here alright that's
fine they're coming from different places and whatnot but how many people
have a fucking down be counter like there's like there's like a lot and it's
not that I don't like the counter because it's a cool move yeah you couldn't
have done something fresher you know and all of the counters are like the
startup seem to be more or less identical except for Ike's yeah yeah and
Shulk's is just bad yeah Shulk's is slow but it chaos really hard it's really
strong yeah but like I've had it like with all the other like the sword guys
I'll do the counter and at least I'll hit but I've had Shulk miss his like a
dozen times mm-hmm I didn't know I just completely like I suppose I'm paying
attention but I didn't realize that they changed two of Sheik's moves the side
being down be are not totally different and yeah so no more transforming the
Zelda of course you know and you get the little like like table hopper kick flip
thing well I don't know what this means keep talking about table it's the new
term for head jumping you know it's incorrect it's the best either that or
Chun Lee's headstone but you know that and I was like that's a cool
change there but for the most part just yeah not not a ton of like variety with
some of the most of the characters remained fairly unchanged like in the
grand scheme of things fairly unchanged there are change there are
significant changes like Mario's a good example where like most of his moves
have a lot of different properties yeah but like it is not SF3 review to SF4
review right no it is not it is not smash 64 to melee and it's not melee to brawl
it's brawl like guilty your accent core to guilty your accent core reload or yeah
yeah exactly and I totally am like I understand how characters like dark pit
get thrown in when it's like look we just it makes it's inexpensive we have
the assets we can do it the cap rate right I understand that but when you do
it at least do it like Fox Falco Wolf don't do this thing where there what's
the difference between well I was gonna say I was the side B has a different
element that's it I was gonna say I'm a little bummed because I like playing
Lucina but like she is the most negligibly different yeah very very very
um anyway it's weird because Alf and the eight Koopalings and Wario's other
costume and little Max other costume they're all just alternate costumes the
eight Koopalings should have been one character where they're all stacked on
top of each other that have been fun like that remember those three little
cannibals in one of the clay fighter games possibly falling or they're like
that that business kid from Bojack Horseman if I could have a stack of
characters that were Koopas I then want the Koopa bros from Paper Mario and the
thing is to like they got rid of like characters like that with switching and
Pokemon and all that stuff like they they just never made everyone their
memory because of memory issues memory issues okay makes sense um something you
notice too a lot of characters lost their multi-hit smashing attacks and and some
of the people that had they'd still have them it's like you can better now well
you you have to match harder but they're better moves they're way better now yeah
yeah um I noticed that like like Pit got his is gone yeah um a couple people you
know like Captain Falcons is great yeah sure and she has hers too a quick
question for it for all you guys the so everyone's kind of played a whole bunch
of the game now and the stages specifically is the thing that kind of
irked me the most about the 3ds version and there's graphic limitations and
stuff like that I get it but just in general there's maybe five stages I
actually enjoy playing in the 3ds version and the rest just suck so in
completely agree with you my gosh bros I have almost every stage turned off
most of the Omega stages because they're super boring yeah like okay so
obviously there's not gonna be any smash 3ds tournaments from the second
Smash Bros for Wii U is out there are probably like like seven like tournament
legal stages that are not counterpick stages right and then there's a bunch of
counterpick stages and then there's more banned stages than there's ever been I
can't believe how many of them are scrolling bullshitting they're just
not absurd and yeah a lot of them are not fun and like there's so many that are
just sprites and I don't find them that impressive and it's cool like big blues
awesome but then but it's a pain in the dick I'm just like yeah you're in yes it
is a pain in the dick that's right but yeah and the limited stages that you can
actually enjoy is really hurt yeah incredible lack of music yeah that's
true which they said they they'd have a lot more in the Wii U version so I hope
that's the case of yeah the other thing about the stages that I just find like a
funny bit of trivia it has less new stages than brawl and less old stages
than brawl right right so like they I wish they had dug back into the bank a
little and brought some smash 64 Pauli Count stages just yellow Pauli Count
exactly I think that's go ahead like last night there I think there was an
announcement I did see some images of Mute City like classic Mute City in the
Wii U yeah which is cool yeah and also Hyrule Temple was confirmed for the Wii
U version which is so I'm like okay cool all right there are bringing some
stuff back for sure and like again like the moment the Wii U version comes out
like whatever I don't care anymore but like right now I'm looking at the 3ds
version and I'm like do I want to play a match with these stages really like it
would be fantastic to find out that like every stage ever made it's gonna be DLC
I mean take my fucking money that would be so good project them can do it um but
and at the same time like that while we're doing this I do want to say that
you know it's still Smash Brothers playing it and you're having fun yeah
when you're fighting people you know what I mean let's not like right oh it's
a great game yeah but the thing is when Smash Brothers release has happened
they're supposed to set the world on fire yeah exactly and that kind of didn't
happen positively or negatively well I mean like I said like a few days like I
said before like if Street Fighter 4 had released and it wasn't if it was just
you know not a thing it would have it would have been what the fuck because
it's just fire man and if Street Fighter 5 is just Street Fighter 4 2 as Max
says you know fighter needs to evolve Max did say that that is true yeah but
like you know and this this one I like I've rattled on enough about it like I
don't think it's enough of a jump from brawl especially when compared to the
previous jumps from 64 and melee still you are comparing the handheld tiny
version compared to a big console but I said I have played the Wii U version and
it plays the same gameplay wise yeah it's gonna be almost identical like I'm
yeah but like the Wii U the Wii U version is in this place where it's like we
have all these like little issues but like if I just got to play it with either
a GameCube controller or a pro controller like I wouldn't give a shit
about any of them anymore but the other the other thing is like you know it's
not like going from Street Fighter 3 to Street Fighter 4 it's like going from
Street Fighter 3 to a Street Fighter 4 with no combos like like the combo
viability and smash for 3DS so smash for you like some characters like Mario
have a lot going on in really low percentages yeah but then it just
devolves into the don't-get-hit game of brawl it's not it's not as bad as
brawl right but I did this is something yeah and I did actually experiment I
jumped into training mode grabbed a couple guys and just tried to see what
you could do down throw is the only way you're gonna get down throw combo the
only way you're getting anything and you could follow up with two hits tops for
you know just me playing around that's what I couldn't get more than like one
two follow-ups and that was it and yeah exactly and I mean you know not quite
it not quite like brawl but still really limited there still quite limited and I
mean like I had some people tell me like what are you just gonna rattle on the
like it's not melee complaint again and again like my point is like if Street
Fighter 4 didn't have combos you'd get the complaint you know like going from
melee going from 64 to melee and then from melee to brawl was like oh what
just happened where did the depth and I mean like for anyone who knows like the
scene just got split in half competitively and and everything died I mean
even from like it was a bad time for smash and then to have seven years of
brawl existing and to get to one that's not still not anywhere near melee is
complexity is kind of a bummer even from like a non-competitive standpoint
when you look at the series now yeah for like a guy like myself especially who's
really never ever taken smash seriously and actually tried to learn how to play
it until smash for 3ds just playing the games melee feels the best to play out
of all of them like yeah yeah mechanically I don't care about all the
bullshit the fastest it's it's got like just feels done hey guess what it's
sounds really good yeah yeah so I don't know it's just like when you see
Sakurai complaining that when he starts talking bad about melee and how people
eventually broke it and he's like we don't want to make that well well you're
talking about a small percentage of dudes that actually take advantage of any of
that stuff yeah and you got a guy like me that doesn't do any of it that game
still is the best one of all of them because it just feels the best game
wise and like let's face it but like if the game were as as I guess tricky as
melee you know where characters fall a lot faster and stuff like it's not quite
as easy to play like let's be real 90% of people who bought Smash 4 would buy
whatever you know I that's why I'm kind of bummed about it is like when they
made melee they didn't have this mindset of like let's make it for the core it
was let's make a party game if you go back to the old interviews it was it's
they're saying almost the same things as they said for they always and smash for
right where it's just like when we got to brawl the narrative changed to that
was too hardcore and it's like no you just you said something different now
like now you're clearly targeting a different audience I have sympathy for
a Sakurai though because I kind of like it some guy coming out on stage and he
goes here's my new son no play the old stuff okay but I didn't actually like it
that no but but his last two symphonies were super similar yeah but an objective
doesn't care like I said Neil Diamond goes up on stage not playing any of
the stuff people know him for and a lot of people are like dude I paid to hear
the stuff I know and love man but like I get from a creator standpoint saying
stop asking yeah I would like you know brawl to like melee to be more of a
standard a template in which to follow but the same time it's like if I was him
whatever the reason is why I don't want to carbon copy it I it's like maybe he's
just he should stop making these all together and give it to someone else
personally I think the solution here is the next HD remake Nintendo should make
it smell a yeah or if it's included on the Wii U version crazy idea like if they
reveal that a melee that like you get in they let me know that's it game over
they're back it's done so it's kind of confusing for Sakurai who doesn't like
officially work for Nintendo anymore he's just like a contractor now he's like
it's really weird you know he keeps hiring me hiring me to make the exact same
game over and over him that he works there yeah not only is it on the disc
but it's got netcode like yeah exactly what more what more do you want I mean
they did it for Bayonetta why not yeah yeah it's not even crazy and just to
just kind of wrap up a little bit last thing I did was I just dabbled my toes
into Ultimax because I'm like I know I'm gonna dude it's so good I know I'm
gonna just like swallow it whole but I just I'm jumping between all these games
I missed while being gone I'm like it's a fighting game but like everything else
is like some sort of old smash but like you know Hyrule is kind of a story yeah
so he's getting all the fighting games gonna be there and there's still be a
community so I'll never yeah yeah so so I mean I you know I was able to just kind
of like save my curiosity and whatnot by just jumping into trading mode with the
new characters for a while dude how awesome is culprit isn't he the best
he's so fun to use like I don't know what he's like in in match because I
haven't played any matches but just like I told you he feels like an SNK boss in
your hands he's he feels really fun um you know I'm gonna also go what you
call it um da Koromaru and whatever his name is and shit bird friend murdering
child that's a funny way to say Ken Ken who's looks like Liam right now
especially cuz you got the little hair flip a little hair yeah that's like that
they're fun to use too man like I really enjoy those characters a lot more than
you know like I didn't pay a new carrier cool but I honestly think that Ken and
Coro is the best team double character that like Arxis has ever made like like
team character like they did come over on a radius yeah like it's it's the best
because like Coro is simple right like Coro does what you want he doesn't have
eight he doesn't have a goddamn separate move set to the character it's it's
poppy but it's like you have dedicated poppy buttons right yeah he's this nice
addition to Ken somewhat limited move set and then of course just going back
to the the old characters and you know well in my case just taking my acahiko
and checking out the changes like man the pressure game is even stronger
really god I yeah his new his new like his new punch attack that you can do out
of combos right right back punch like you could just stay in the guy's face
forever wait for him to press a button or not yeah and then fuck him up yeah
you're basically yeah I can't believe some of the new moves they've given the
people like congee has a full-screen charge persona attack that eats
projectiles and you can combo his persona move afterwards in the corner yeah
he well honestly he needed that to deal with characters like you carry oh and
and yukiko fucks yeah of course yeah but no it's really nuts in that they they
did what s kill talks about which is like balance upward yeah yeah and and just
from my initial little little touch it it feels like I'm gonna love it
it makes me really really excited for guilty gear oh there's another game I
downloaded the Japanese demo to play some like solo matches against the AI fuck
that game feels good yeah it feels a lot like the older guilty gears that's for
sure you did the Japanese accounts coming I did the same thing and I also I
also played quite a bit of the game like just outside of this demo and I can
concur like if you have played guilty year and you were ever good at guilty
gear all your shit still gonna work like it's it's a it's just like a guilty year
upgrade it's it's not guilty gear like three now it's guilty gear upgraded from
the previous guilty year double X series so the same way you feel like I gotta
ask does it feel like goddamn blaze blue no no no no it feels like Gigi thank
God I was worried this whole time even though I got hands on with it like what
if it just ends up like please what if every other character besides Temkin
yeah yeah yeah like I'd say if you want to get good at XR just go start
playing the last latest XBLA PSN release of guilty gear like acts in court
reloads and court is that for is that game even available in Canada I believe
it yeah I totally I was playing it on my Vita the other night just like while the
demo was downloading and when I got to it most stuff worked some stuff didn't
work but like most stuff like it's definitely a different game it's not
just like it's not just a reload not a quote-unquote reload yeah exactly like
but it's definitely a hell of a step up it's it's really cool the cherry on top
of my week was I got to watch the first episode of Mike Tyson mysteries oh my
god if you haven't seen this show you need to watch it Mike Tyson mysteries is
this shit wait wait wait wait wait is this like the cartoon this is a cartoon
it's a cartoon adult dog the bounty hunter no this is a cartoon on adult
swim by the same animators that did Harvey Birdman wow and it's like
Tyson it animates the same way wow that's and you've got Norm McDonald his
pet his sidekick pigeon you've got Steve you got Colbert as his ghost sidekick
buddy as well like Tyson Mike Tyson is Mike Tyson we need money and he's got
and he's got like an adopted Chinese daughter and they go on mystery solving
quests right let me think about this so Mike Tyson punches out a dude and the
guy falls down the side of stairs and Mike Tyson walks on says oh man who did
this Mike is a retired boxer and he's punched everything he's wanted to so
now when he goes into like mystery worlds I was like yo there's a chupacabra
I've never punched that before let's do it you know like it's the shit that's
pretty good it's really funny I think you guys should totally check it out sounds
like an alternate universe Jackie Chan adventures yeah yeah like funnier man
okay okay is it like mature like yeah okay yeah yeah like Bojack Horseman um
Birdman okay Birdman okay yeah okay yeah big shout out to that Matt what'd
you do I don't want to go like we're kind of you're pushing it our weeks are
taking up the entire well as we have five people here this week five people in
one of them's in another country for the first time one of them's also in another
country yeah that's true basically like I put in about some time into evil within
I'm I'm gonna be a lot more harsh on it than Liam was I think it feels like it's
from it's not from any sort of quality developer what I mean by that if the
start of where I stopped felt like some random ps2 survival horror game like the
script is bad the characters are bad you know the writing is bad the the
subtitles look amateurish like Bethesda put money into this it feels like one of
those things that Bethesda did like they they greenlit this and wet at the same
time okay this game that's way better no no I just mean by a presentation and
story standpoint not gameplay Matt Matt tries to bring wet into every
conversation I will fucking screw it to help
so it's your fault that what's so bad right now because you worked on it no it's
not actually program I was actually the one person that was like this sucks
Liam should you and I do a play through and just blame Matt for how yeah shit it
is yeah you should do that you should do yeah you know what you should make a
video where you I'd like to see you guys have the balls to play wet for more than
two minutes anyway there's just the like it was hopping over but a bit of what
Liam says that the start is rough yeah I will agree I also play the start and
it's rough that first the first piece of gameplay in the game is terrible it's
not great it's still where you're running away from the guy and your leg is
cut yeah and then did you notice that like your leg is cut and it's constantly
hobbling you and you're like okay then the late title card comes up and then
your leg is fine yeah yeah completely there's a reason for that which is what
well spoilers but you know how can there be a reason for that then Liam when
you're talking about this I'm it's not real it was all a dream it's not what
I was gonna say is that to alleviate that during that opening crawl you could
have just had a little little like after image of him wrapping a bandage around
his leg sure and then that initial run through would have been a little less
yeah that's why I stopped is that that's the well yeah it's fine it's an
injury I used to work up magazines but the German where I stopped I was in a
village type area and I'm like I don't like this village area at all it's like
oh here comes a guy with a chainsaw just like the village yeah everything just
doesn't feel as good and when you're and I hate I hate the letterboxing I might
need to play a bit more like me I'm to get rid of it but I hate it so much
because it blocks it's prompts from me one of the greatest things I totally
would have agreed with you one of the best things you can do Matt to make the
game infinitely better is to start talking like the villagers as you're
playing for is infinitely better
yeah
poor writing it's like Sebastian is pro like from where again where I am is like
the worst most bland protagonist ever because you find these little journals
of himself writing to himself and he's like oh I really like my new female
partner what an ass well she is no what a great ass she has oh that too yes you're
right he's a totally different character from like the story to what he you see
it's like I don't this guy is even the same maybe he's crazy maybe he's crazy
but I'm like again maybe I need to play more of it but where I'm on just like I
who like and I'd like to play that DLC chapter of the girl because maybe it
flushes her out before in that opening scene where they're in the car I'm
looking at the his two most super bland like the girl barely says anything and
I hate that other detective Joseph Gordon Levitt yeah yeah you get time with Joseph
that's good then because at that thing I was just like there's it's just jarring
to me like this old nitpicks because when you actually play the game it's still
fun it's still good I just the letterboxing isn't it's kind of like
how the smash controls affects mash the letterboxing affects me yeah I can't
believe McComby did the letterboxing thing again yeah like come on re4 if
you probably forgot but the gamecube version had forced letterbottom it is
true and like he seems to really he thinks that the wide is scary yeah well
you know I think he just likes it at the end of the day and like Matt said like
you know he feels bad for Sakurai because I don't disagree with what you
said before McComby just wants to make it that way yeah but I think McComby's
involved special place where it's like oh I need to hit I need to hit that black
bars dog yeah I was saying like you know Vanquish is a great game
no numbers yeah that was a weird interview that I remember reading after
Evil Within where I remember way back he said that Evil Within was gonna be his
last game yeah and then like I think it was like two weeks ago but about it he's
like yeah I shouldn't have said that yeah but Desda was really angry with me
when I said that that was gonna be my last game but like so hopefully he gets
to like and he also talked like a long time ago how like he didn't want to make
Evil Within like yeah I heard about this he was told like you can make whatever you
want but and then he gets there and it's like but first make a RE4 yeah like
he initially wanted to do some open-world sci-fi thing and then they're like
well how about you do a survival horror thing it's like how about you do the
thing that we bought you for yeah right I also put some time in a Ki to yeah
next kind of said a lot of stuff I was gonna say I was gonna say that the
character progression to unlock stuff is like the best thing about it it's way
better yeah it is so like you like this character you want everything this
character just play him in every mode doesn't matter dude that is so good just
get good with combo and you'll get all the combo stuff like unifying all of that
into one number what it like I think it just it makes so much more sense it was
kind of obvious that season one was like semi-padded because there is so little
content for the game so they're like let's how do we make people keep playing
keep playing all you have to get 50 rank wins with full gore when full gore is a
really hard character and that's it it's hard to do and it's probably hella
frustrating for the majority of people you know yeah of course yeah aside from
that the only thing I'm really disappointed in it is that like I wish
like at least at this juncture there'd be more than one stage ultra yeah like oh
there's only the one there's only the one and I'd like to think that at least
the two new stages would have them that makes sense to me and maybe one of the
old ones because there's a lot of stages that could only teach a no of course I
don't know that they're gonna add more yeah at the launch I would have liked
at least both Maya since it looks like that is a stage ultra stage like orchid
stage makes a lot of sense for me really really good at the copter shot you like
in some a turn and some eternal champions game there's a giant spider and
satiracy yeah there's so many things to set up you know I think they're gonna
eventually patch all of them to have one no maybe not all of them but not all of
them have all the original games like I don't know not only a couple on the
description for when you're in the move list it says staged and side dependence
on where you activate this right now as far as we can tell your ultra but with
it's if your ultra is with an punch then your stage ultra is always the same
motion but with a kick and TJ is just on the left-hand side of his stage it's
like I was messing around on every freaking stage I'm like I don't think
this is working at all anywhere but TJ's stage it's also good is doing your
regular ultra then instant canceling it and then doing the stage ultra it's a
really hype one might my biggest gripe with it is that some characters look
cool in the post pose you know like after you see them flying in the back
I mean some characters just look weird like like no one knows what the hell
glacis what is glacis doing why does Maya like teleport into a pose like
thunders thunders is really good thunders is great sassy sassy lady pose
Spinals is the best one because he just laughs I don't just turn into a pile of
oh somebody just fall into a pile of bones no his
skelitism powers depleted the other thing I was kind of odd that I did last
night was that I fell in love with the PlayStation one yeah we saw this I saw
you a little bit of this I was like I'm looking for a bunch of games I'll see
what was ever released on the PlayStation what came out on that I'm not
aware of everything and I found 30 games I ebay in one gigantic and some of that
was like what there was a crow game we need to get this we need to get this
course there was a couple of survival horror games and we didn't have all the
Wu Tang games I'm still lacking evil zone what is this plural that is coming out
of games all of the Wu Tang Wu Tang games Wu Tang shallow in style and that's
all you need because it's the greatest video game ever made there was Thai food
just remember I do with this yeah you fucking do the tiger I worked at any
game basically a game where you're the beast form of Shen Long from from
beast arising and it's just a cool to 2.5d like platformer where you're this
martial arts tiger how about your Angelina Jolie from Apocalypse featuring
Bruce Willis that was one of the ones we spoke about all right no I talked
about a theoretical you could you could make a Bruce Willis week of Bruce
Willis day there's enough there's a diehard arcade yeah yeah definitely
trilogy fifth element fifth element holy shit they will most of them are gonna
be ps1 games for sure most of them are gonna be hot garbage exactly just like
you have to go in knowing that we got we got to play them in order of hair to
hair loss nice well then Apocalypse is last yeah like told no or first cuz he
said give me more hair yes one though on the topic of PlayStation stuff what's
your what's your guys's opinion on Street Fighter EX plus alpha
stop stop stop yeah because EX plus a is the one that's good that's the one
that's I still don't like it sure but it's the one that's like it's not broken
bad yeah I feel like if you have to go back to the EX games that's the only
one they're fun and the music is really good in them too I I've unfortunately
only played all the other EX games and you missed out on EX 3 I own this the
only one you're sadly missing out on like the epitome of Street Fighter voice
acting I believe it with Wising Dragon and fireball oh my what was that guy's
name I totally forgot Alan Snyder thank you so much I need to make that my text
whenever somebody text me why I think wagon I don't know he's a white dude
with like a giant red fro potato bomb yeah I don't know if you guys ever saw
this and if you play Street Fighter EX 3 one of the stages you're in this big
majestic temple looking yeah yeah if you play the game in HD like you play it
on like a ps3 where it upscales it for some reason there's a giant image in
the background of these portraits and one of the portraits is mr. T for no
reason it's just mr. T's face and you would never see it if you didn't have an
HD version wow okay that's odd I wonder if that's is that like a curious emulation
issue no like I you would never the emulation photo of mr. I'm Pat I'm not
saying I'm saying like evidently it was in the code somewhere it was there you
just that brings it out there's no way you can see it in SD yeah honestly man
like you and you go back to those games to it's like skullomania is the thing you
wish you could pull it out of it yeah and put into modern Street Fighter I love
Dr. and dark Dr. and dark explosion explosive really quickly I saw the
first two episodes American Horror Story freak show the third season I think
it's fourth season there is the first one then there was a silent a silent
coven oh yeah this is for not liking it I have no idea who the main characters
are I don't similar same actors or Angelo whatever okay it's the old lady and
though the kid the stupid Quicksilver yeah is lobster boy yeah okay and it's
just it's just a mess like I have no idea what's going on with it I like there's
this renegade cloud running around killing people has nothing to do with the
rest of the story maybe it's just early but I'm just watching something okay I
abandoned ship yeah been abandoned ship for me now I love the first American
Horror Story yeah it's great yeah it's really good but I'm not really liking it
and I guess the only thing is that I rewatched the Friday the 13th remake that
I remember when came out I told you about the opening scene yeah opening scene
last like 15 minutes then the title card comes up and it's a badass title card
that is one of the most solid remakes ever because I'm a huge Jason fanboy and
I look like this one of the two remakes where it's like what do you do you make
them talk no you just make them this crazy hunter that lives in the wilderness
and has traps and underground hidden shit he's just a wild man that just lives
there and he's like that's it he's not a supernatural ghost he can become one
later who knows and this one he's just like this wild he's wolf hawk he's
wolf hawk filled machete wait in this one is he just like a human he's not like
yeah okay but it's good it's good because I'm not sure if you remember
remember that real asshole in the first Transformers movie that was like you
mean Shia LaBeouf now yes but no the other guy
no that act jazz it was the blonde guy that was a football star and he was
dating what's her face and he's like hey nerd what are you doing and his name and
he had like a dude that everyone's an asshole in Transformers one that was a
bad identifier but this actor's real name in real life he looks like a jock
football star and his real life name is Travis then Winkle all right he plays
the asshole on this Friday the 13th remake and he gets it so hard that it's
so sad as like he gets impaled and then like I'm not even gonna go through to
a series of unfortunate events happens this shit bag so it's it's like really
satisfying to watch and plus the main guy from Supernatural I know the ladies
out there love them to Supernatural just plush all over in the Supernatural
seasons of it so the main guy was super natural isn't it so when me and the
missus watch he said oh I got my supernatural guy in there okay that was
really fun it's a good remake yeah it's a good remake it's like the Friday the
nightmare and Elmstreet remake even though it starred a Rorschach sure yeah
awful well because I feel like they've made their way through all of the
classics now plus that one was PG-33 Evil Dead you've done Nightmare and Elm
Street you've done Halloween Halloween already a fucking chainsaw massacre has
been done like they've done all where's my reanimate a remake reanimate it you
can do the thing I saw the movie for the first time a month ago it was amazing
they made it they remade the thing no that was a prequel it was a prequel yeah
but for all intents and purposes so Kansas Ramona flowers was the hero yeah
yeah this come out like two years ago fuck if if you remake the thing you have
to have Kurt Russell in it again but he has to play the crazy doctor this time
yeah it's a McCready did you know at the end that at the end of the thing game
Kurt Russell appears at the end and he saves you yeah yeah think about that even
though the game implies that he was the thing all along like that I remember
playing that game and like right away you find Chiles but you don't find
McCready right and it's like is this this shitty PS2 game actually gonna fucking
like ruin the ending like one of the greatest horror movies ever made yes yes
it will all right so I mean we don't have time to go into the week but we're
gonna talk about some stuff Google's getting into the race they announced the
Nexus player they want is that it's basically their answer to the Amazon
Firebox it's it's what the hell is that it's a set top box for media and title
well software off the Google Play Store yeah Android Android the Google Play
Store yes yeah exactly and Amazon Firebox was of course an answer to the
shield I think that was more of an answer to the Roku and the you guys are both
wrong I think it was an answer to the mojo eventually gonna get back to the
end gauge right back to that which of course was an answer to the tiger
electronics gain oh you know Mega Man 2 on tiger I look at this one and it's like
it's neat that it's got the Google Play Store but you know for Amazon at least
that was like the answer to game.com oh my god but you know for Amazon's box I
was at least able to look at it and say they made a stable of game developers
and they bought Double Helix and we'll see what comes of that yeah for this one
I look at it and it's like I guess it's a cheap Android game box. It's a Vita TV for
phone games. So it's like yeah if you want worse games for the same price but
better media features this is probably the box for you. Controller looks fine but
doesn't come with the machine. Yeah 40 bucks on the side. Exactly. That's bullshit.
Yeah you know like you know like I still think out of all of them the Fire TV has
the most potential when it comes to games because it's good they have their own
developer house that you know they're starting to do stuff. Well way forward
just made a game for it. Yeah it was a neat little game. Yeah that looks really cool
actually but you know for this one I'm not I just looking at it and I'm like
I guess like Google just kind of figures like we have nothing to lose throwing our
hat into the room. There's money there. It's a cheap box for them to produce.
It's you know ever since Ouya said hey games it's been like yeah you can sell
games on this kind of you know premise. People clearly want that. Might not be
successful at it. Exactly you might not be hugely successful but people clearly
kind of want it and so if you've already got the Google Play Store why not
just shove it into a box. And you know they're really like it's a game console
but it's like they're pushing the media side of it heavier I find based on that
that initial. But it plays games too. Yeah definitely. Whereas Amazon went the
other rat on it and like really pushed the game side. They pushed everything and
like just they bought a ton of studios so they were able to also say here's what
yeah that's true. I don't have one. They didn't slouch. I only have one question.
Will it play the Final Fantasy 7 motorbike Japanese game that's going to
be coming out. It should. Yeah it should because that's going to come out on
Android so it should play that. Oh my. I'd be shocked if that wasn't on the Play Store.
Totally sold. Yeah I see Google is like originally back in the day every move
they made was very very careful and very calculated and it would be like a huge
thing. Yeah and then they like as time is going on and they got into the phone
game and what not nowadays hardware and exactly now they're just like playing
with glass they're playing with some other stuff they got the watch coming.
They can afford to you know yeah they've gotten a lot less like concerned about
like their releases they're not like they used to be like Blizzard basically you
know and now it's just like yeah let's see what happens and if it doesn't work
exactly you know it's and now Blizzard is like Scarlett don't see what happens just
cancel it. Yeah exactly. You know it's it's neat but like I can't help but look
at this and and just be like the competition in this market is so
weird because they all do the same thing. They all do and they don't seem to do
any of it like super well. Yeah exactly and all of their games overlap really
viciously like like the Uya has a bunch of unique games but you know it's you
know if I had to say buy one I'd like now the Vita TV's out the Uya kind of is
kind of obsolete as far as I'm concerned and it's just like these boxes I don't
they're for people who want media and the games element of them is shit and I
hope this doesn't viciously steal game console sales which it surely will. I
certainly don't think so the thirst is real Liam. No well no because you know
cell phones have been vicious cell phones have been viciously damaging. But
people walking on the street you know looking to replace their well if it's
got if it's got Minecraft if it's got this kid doesn't need a ps4 if you can
get Minecraft on a hundred dollars. Yeah because kids are stupid. But yeah make up
a lot of that market you know so. Thank you Max I appreciate it. Kids are stupid
though. Love them but they're stupid. I don't love them. Don't have to. I speaking of
stupid though. I want to give this is a great second. I was about to say that massive I
want to give shout outs because so this game called
Paranautical Activity got pulled from Steam because the dev. Why to get pulled
from Steam Wally. You want to start the story from the very beginning or jump to
the halfway. No we'll just jump right into the middle. I like when you and Wally were
just talking about that halfway point. Because they got pulled from Steam because
the dev threatened Gabe Newell. He threatened to kill Gabe Newell. That's smart.
He's the most literal way possible. With the phrase I am going to kill Gabe Newell.
Yeah. Stop. Next line. He's going to die. So this is.
Decide the destiny. Decide the destiny. Yeah so they're game what's it called again.
Paranautical Activity. Paranautical Activity. I don't even get what that means.
Is this supposed to be clever or. Yeah it's paranormal you know paranormal
Paranautical Activity. I don't know. I don't know. It's underwater. It's underwater man.
There's ghosts underwater. Oh paranormal. Matt you remember the part in Beyond Two Souls where
we had the ghosts in the underwater Chinese base. No. That. Yep. Can't wait to play that.
Perfect. So this was on Valve's. Steam's front page for a little bit on their little
ad carousel right of like here's all the new games. And it was mistakenly labeled as
Early Access I believe. Either way it was mistakenly labeled and this error lasted for under two
hours. And the developer got so angry that in his mature anger he decided to threaten Gabe Newell's
life. And there was another series of tweets before that that were all just dumb like.
And then his game disappeared from Steam. Yeah and since there has been a statement
issued by Valve and I have it here actually. And so Doug Lombardi from Valve says yes we have
removed the game's sales page and ceased relations with the developer after he threatened to kill
one of our employees. So it seems like a pretty fucking final decision. Geez man. And it's really
harsh to take their game off. And the guy in an email the polygon he said but let's be real
if they took my game off the store they're fucking sure about their decision there's
probably nothing to be done. Like he would have gotten away easier if he said Gabe Newell is an
asshole. Oh fuck him. He would have gotten away. He would have gotten away. Anything other than an
overt threat on his life. Followed by like a statement reaffirming. A factual statement. He
didn't make a joke. Even if it was as extreme as I'm so mad I could just kick the shit out of
Gabe Newell right now. He would probably get away scot-free. If he threw a cap on at the end of
that he would have gotten away. Anything. That's like going to high school and saying I want to
kill my principal then they like expel you and you're like come on. Talking about bombs on an
airplane it's okay. The story is funny because I don't even think it's like news it's just like
this guy did this and everything went as expected. Yeah but we like it when people
trip over into their own shit. Yeah equals two. Moving on Rob Riggle is now Frank West
in the Dead Rising movie. Perfect. It looked good. It did look pretty good. Rob Riggle looks like him.
Also and he's a weird goofball. Is this happening? This is happening. Legendary is in charge.
Cool. That's what I get out. It's called Dead Rising Watchtower and Rob Riggle's Frank West
and Epic Mealtime Guy is like a part of the biker gang. He's part of and he's going to be I don't
know. It's Muscle's Glasses. I don't think they gave the name of his character. It's Muscle's Glasses.
He's a pretty guy. The Montreal man. Yes. Big beard dude. Yeah exactly. He's playing him and
cool. Okay. Yeah that's what they've announced so far. Does that exist? Is that one of those things
that is going to happen? It seems like this is actually happening. Yeah. We're talking like
companies and stuff like legendary. We're getting farther down the chain. But you know what? It's
like it's Dead Rising so like it's going to be goofy and dom and silly. It should be. Dead Rising's
a good one. You can nail that into whatever you want. If the finale involves what's his name? Rob
Riggle wearing a Mega Man Zero costume. Yes. Oh man. Yes. Oh this could go so many good places.
So like rising. This movie needs to have moments. Like the core concept of Dead Rising 1 was these
people are being horribly murdered. Amazing. Yeah. Take those photos. Yeah get those pictures.
This woman's being attacked. Like get upscurried. Shocking. Like if that's what that movie is about.
But this is going to be more like Dead Rising 3 don't you think? And it's like that's a bit.
That's not what I want. Rob Riggle is a comedy actor. Is he? I have no idea.
He's from Saturday Night Live. He's been lots of Will Ferrell movies. Okay that's really cool.
It's going to be. It looks like it's going to be lighthearted. He was a correspondent
on The Daily Show. Okay never mind. I take it back. Yeah. Awesome. I really hope this goes that way
because that sounds really cool. When are we going to get a portable Dead Rising game? God damn it.
Never. 3DS I'll take it. Never. I want one. Never. Dead Rising's dead. Never. It's more alive than ever.
You know what they could they could drop a Super Alpha Turbo Extreme Dash for matching service
version you know like they could bring that to like the Vita by itself. I play that. Dude Vita 3DS
smartphone whatever. No but it's an Xbox game. That is the formula I want on PC. Well remember
Dead Rising 3. I bet you it'll be on PS4 and 2DS. Remember Dead Rising 3 needs to sell 2 million
copies for Capcom the green lightest sequel unfortunately. Well it's it must be very near
that at this point. It got close. I think it was like 1.5. In opening season in opening season
did 1.3 and now it's on PC and it's been what a full year since then. It must be near if not at
already too. Yeah. Anyway. I hate that. I hate and love that quote so much from Capcom.
The whole 2 million thing. Oh the thing that Ono says. Oh that's what you're referring to.
Capcom releases on the PC like if you drop that price enough you're going to get to whatever number
you want. Yeah exactly. I think it's most directly to like their big games like Triple A titles like
Resident Evil Remake HD isn't isn't a Triple A title like think or Strider wasn't. So yeah yeah
it just pretty much confirms that like Dark Sockers ain't coming back. Dragon's Dogma ain't
coming back. D.M.C. Don't say that. I don't want to hear the Dragon's Dogma. I know because it's
great. You said that yourself. You said it yourself. I know what I tell myself to shut up
every time I say it. But you know what is coming back. Remember me. Time Crisis. Yeah.
I'm so happy with this news. Time Crisis 5 is coming out next year man. I love that the characters
look like not super ultra serious again. Yeah kind of goofy. It's like Mad Dog in it. It's who?
Mad Dog. Is Mad Dog in it. I don't think so. No it looks like new character. These are two new
characters. That's wild dog. But one's dressed in blue and one is dressed in red. Yeah. No no no I
mean Mad Dog was the villain. He was the guy with the machine gun on. No idea. There's only scans
and there's only like pictures. Yeah basically it was a little event where they showed off the
promo for the arcade cabinets. Yeah they were talking about Tekken 7 and Time Crisis 5 got some
some pictures released. Namco is killing it with those arcade releases. Oh they're always really
good for arcades. I really really hope this gets like a PS4 Xbox One release with like Connect and
Move. I just want to play this game. Yeah I just want to play it and I don't want to go back to
Japan just to play this game. But I bet you I bet you like you're going to see the cabinet it's
going to be like Bone Eater in the sense that it's like did you see the cabinet? This is only
this is going to be something special that only for TC5. It's like it's not it's totally doable if
you look at the cabinet it's got if I remember correctly it's got two pedals instead of one.
So some stages you press either one and you just come up but some areas you press left or right and
you pick out left or right. That's so sick. I will sit down with you and draw up a plan for how
Gunslinger Stratos could be ported. No it can't. That one can't. We'll have to see man. We'll have to
see. You need to like forget about Gunslinger Stratos man. I have. I got it out of my system.
It's ruining your life. I got it out of my system. We had our hour playing it and now it's done
forever. We're good. I remember going to Willy's house and I saw all these prototypes he was making.
Did you remember? These godless creations he's got moves strapped to Wiimotes and there's magnets
and glues. Candles. Candles. I don't know if you want to talk about it but the moment where you
asked the president of Square Enix personally. Yeah I mentioned it on a previous podcast like we
were. Yeah you both had dork questions that you pestered him. We were at work asking him dumb
questions and the president of Square Enix stood there and was like all right. How do you know
what this game is? We thought we buried that. I'm like delete his memories. Well you ever bring
it over and he's just like not really bro. Not really bro. Sorry. He said in straight English.
Not really bro. Not really bro. That was basically a similar answer for the World Ends With You 2.
Oh yeah that was your question. And why have you never made a sequel for Chrono Sugar and he's
just like fuck off. Well you know there's there's there's probably got a good answer there. Although
speaking of I guess like you know local companies and whatnot although this is more Toronto area
Jade Raymond just left Ubisoft. Yes she did. I was I was I'm gonna just like they haven't really
said why but I'm gonna go ahead and guess it's probably because she wants to get back into working
on a game. Like get back to working on Electric Playground as the first one did. That was always
weird to me. It's like one day I see this girl as a correspondent on EP Electric Playground and then
the next day I'm promoted to the head of all Ubisoft or whatever it was at the time. Kind of Ubisoft
Toronto. Yeah because she'd she'd been working on like you know producing games and whatnot and then
yeah and for the last couple of years she's just been managing the studio and not working on any
games in particular so we assume. I would have to assume she's kind of like I want to touch a game
again you know or something like that. I totally think she was just too far removed from the games
for her liking. I don't think she's leaving the games industry. She said I wanted to pursue new
things, new challenges. Okay back so back to EP Daily. So here's a here's a here's a stark difference
between that press release which is Ubisoft saying we are splitting with Jade Raymond blah blah
blah and then she goes blah blah blah versus the one where Jack Carmack left where Bethesda just
well we didn't really need him. Yeah. Don't worry all our games. It was so petty. It was it was so
weird. It came off as really like it was bad. Yeah even if it wasn't or if it was it felt like a
bad. The press release was just like oh it's fine don't worry now this won't affect our products it
doesn't really matter. Any work he did was negligible or something. It was like really
disparaging towards him and this one was at least like courteous. Yeah well Carmack like it's pretty
obvious he left on like not if not necessarily bad terms but like very awkward terms. Bad terms
when you're you and your and your co-op partner are on bad terms your teamwork becomes lousy.
Yeah. Also just wanted to do a quick little roundup of some stuff going on on Kickstarter.
Shoot yeah. Yeah so I would assume simply because they're both based in Montreal
Urbans the Kickstarter that's going on for that awesome hip-hop show and Hover the Jet Set Radio
style futuristic game. Yeah what's new with Hover. The two of those both of those got basically
got together and said we're going to be working on some stuff together. Awesome. First of all
there's going to be some Hover style content in Urbans. In Urbans. And furthermore they might
even be working on like like levels stages characters things like that dedicated to it. It seems
like a good mix. The match when you look at the art styles is perfect. It's super perfect.
Hey by the way Hover is done but if you haven't checked out Urbans go check it out because they
are not 100% there yet. They're not there yet. They're not in trouble but they're not in trouble
but they're not there yet and it is a really cool thing that they have. And if you're wondering
what Urbans is that that crazy neon picture that's on top of my Twitter that's where it's from.
That's Urbans. It's this really cool. So like people of the anime no not boondocks. Does this mean
that you will soon be a cross media character between these two? I just assume that you bought
whatever the highest award tier was to put yourself in these. Me and Willie were thinking about doing
something for Hover but then we're like eh the tiers are not exactly. I'm planning on I'm booking
on more so running into them downtown somewhere. And just wearing your Sunday best be like oh there's
a guy we can write as a character. Just elbowing my way in. Just take some pictures of him like
those EA guys did. Exactly. Yeah. Just you wait. That was really creepy. Max if you've never seen
this in SSX is it just SSX? SSX. The 2013 SSX. Okay. And that reboot of SSX. Go look up the
character Moby and compare him to Willie. It's scary. Like if you're at your computer and you
start him. Moby was a classic SSX character but he looked completely different. He looked totally
different. And I'm the first person to call everyone out when they're like hey look at this black guy
with dreads. What the fuck. But this dude. Holy shit. Exactly like me. It is so stunning. I can't
get over that. That's like not even in a question. That's like one to one. Exactly. There's no doubting
it. I can't deny anything. Moby also have a video on YouTube of him like picking up a copy of Marvel
3 and talking about his crazy night. I wish the EA anime had seen that. Like yeah I could do a funny
thing. Like that thing of Joel doing you know. Man. Yeah. I wish. I wish. Someone get on that.
Also going on a Kickstarter is we talked about a couple of quite a few episodes ago. Retro magazine.
Yeah. They had a year of magazines that came out and you know they had Jeremy Parrish and
Sean Baby. Sean Baby. A couple of other dudes we know getting involved in writing some articles for
it. So they've got another Kickstarter going for year two if you liked year one. Basically it
sounds like they're going to be putting out year two anyway but the Kickstarter is going to help
them get some more stuff done. They're doing really good on it too. I don't know if you saw the numbers
but the Kickstarter is going really well. Yeah. No. But people like it seems like people liked what
was put out. So. Did you read any of it or. I saw the initial digital copy. Okay. Yeah exactly.
I've paged through that and I was like yeah. Can you get it physical. Yeah. I think it's a
limited whole. There's a limited physical. Because I really like that retro gamer magazine from the
U.K. that I showed you guys before and I just got a new issue that just had a picture of little
Mac and I just didn't look at it. I just want it. Right. So if that one has a physical I never I
could believe forgot about it. So I'd like to check it out. You know so yeah that's that's going on.
You know give him a give him a peek if it's if it's your like print your fancy.
There's a new little game called Boothill Heroes that dropped a trailer. Why do I know this game.
Oh I know it's Earthbound but Earthbound in the Wild Wild West exactly. Wow. This game is already
out on Vita. Is it. I didn't know that on PlayStation Mobile it's been out for a while. Okay. But now
they're expanding. Yeah this is a Steam Explicit. I think it's solemn like I've played it. Yeah no
the trailer would look to really really cool. It's by a group called Experimental Gamer. Yeah
and yet it's straight up Take Earthbound and Wild West in the West. Yeah you know and it works
riding on your horses and so the same battle system and everything. It's really good actually like
and it's like it's a total homage and like there's no escaping that but it's good in its own right.
So I'm dropping a link in the comments for that in the show notes for that. Thank you.
Yeah there was that little thing with Smash where they teased Master Hand and Crazy Hand
modes but we didn't know what they were and now the cat's out of the bag because it's like they
blur it's like to a picture from Smash for Wii U and it said Master Censored and Crazy Censored.
What is this mode we don't know and some people were like you're going to be able to use them.
I was like no not likely and then there was a press release that people pulled off of Amazon
that basically explained it's Master Challenge and Crazy Challenge and it's just going to be a series
of challenges devised by them. It seems that there was also like a board game mode. Yeah board
game mode. There's like a Mario Party Smash mode. I am totally down. That sounds like it could be
really cool and level builders back. That's awesome. Level builders back. That's a lot of fun.
Like I totally get that it's not a feature a lot of people used because it wasn't super robust and
raw but it's a lot of fun. You can definitely bullshit around with your friends and make stages
made completely of ice and Tetris blocks and still make stages better than a lot of fun and
still make better than 3DS for the stages. That's a burn. That's a burn. Don't have time to get into
any of the other articles. I guess the last thing I'll drop is they also announced destructive
creations. Announces a game called Hatred and this is a game that's basically just it seems to be
just like postal. It's like postal. It's just postal. And much like postal it's like how can we
get people to notice our game. Oh shock value game. Can we do it with good gameplay. No.
That said we know nothing of the gameplay quality. It seems to it looks like a twin stick shooter type
of setup. It seems to me that when you look at the trailer game it's actually a shame that there's
this controversy surrounding because it actually looks like it looks like it looks like that real
that that remember there's that isometric gba max paying game. It looks like that but like a modern
version. I'm like that looks actually kind of fun to play now. But if there's but if you're just
shooting down innocent civilians and there's no bosses then what's the challenge. But no.
Imagine though. Imagine what's gonna like what's gonna actually like hate filled. You're like this
like I hate the world type guy. You're more of a supervillain guy. And yeah you can attack people
but the more you attack the the everyone gangs up and then people start making their own homemade
weapons or they start making barricades. You can actually make a fun idea of the concept of being
a bad guy but they just went way way it's definitely really violent. The only thing is there like I
think it's a it's a bit more violent than I would like. Yeah it might be a good game. My only like
real gripe really is that the main character looks like like a god smack fan or something.
Well that's it. It's it's smoldering with generic rage exactly and I was kind of like when I saw
that design I was kind of like this is like this is a parody right. He looks like the prince of
persia from warrior with that. I was expecting it to go super tongue-in-cheek and then they
did it they're like no he's serious. This angry man and you're like dude. So I kind of feel the
same way that I felt about like postal where it's like I I will try this it's more violent than I
would like. The postal was tongue-in-cheek. It was still more violent I would like it was tongue
in-cheek. Yeah especially the later postals were even sillier. I think it's like it's it's kind
of like you look at it you're like that's it's such a dumb thing to have a controversy over.
It's not worth having a controversy over. You know what I mean but like more importantly let's
see if it is a game that can be played if there's anything there because it feels like there might
not be. As the trailer started and I watched it more and more I was like oh wait yeah this is
like when it starts doing those zoom in kills yeah like I had to do and I should one of us had to do
ESRB checklists of course yeah and I had to do that and like it's a real serious issue when it's
like like when people are unarmed yeah and especially if they beg for their lives that's
always like you know it's a PC game there's no ESRB there and it's not for everybody so obviously
you see that shit don't fucking play it you know exactly but like I just let's say God forbid
there's some other like school or atrocity involving gun violence like that's where the
blame goes yeah that's where the blame goes. It sucks that someone is making a game that's ready
made to to look look how bad video games are point at this yeah this is the problem and it's a shame
because it's it's hard to defend this game it is hard it is hard to defend it's in the category
with like rain play where you're like yeah we can't like yeah no one's gonna be like yeah that
rain play. Hands in the air. Yeah it's a shame. Yeah I'm all for freedom of speech but you look at
that and you're like I don't want to defend that exactly this topic because even I look at that
like both of those and I'm like yeah I'm not super comfortable with that but anyone but like
you can't take a stance that's like you know shut this down sensor type thing you can't do any of
that you just ignore it. Exactly if it's not for you you ignore it or you just kind of look at it
and kind of point and go this is silly you know but like that that's pretty much it. Ultimately
like this is not for me. If you don't look at the monster he'll lose his powers. Yeah I don't pay
attention to him now. It's funny how the internet works. But no totally dude warrior within million
warrior within man. All right let's jump into the letters real quick. Where would you. Does that
mean it's letter time. Where would you send these letters Oliam. You'd send them to super
best friend cast at gmail.com. If you want to send is that the right email address. If you want to
send us a letter and ask us about how fluffy Benny's furries you can send that letter. Not as fluffy
as X. I can confirm. I can confirm it is twice as fluffy as X. Pets on sticks and fights. Pets on
sticks. Pets on sticks should be either a food chain or a new fight. Well you're in Japan.
A food. Oh it's fucking vicious. That was brutal. I kind of feel dirty after saying and I'm sorry
Benny I still love you. Please don't murder me in my sleep. We love Benny too by the way.
Thank you. I don't. I don't. I think Benny is a bad bad dog and my pet is better than his pet.
You're a bunch of bullshit. Okay. We'll fucking see about that. Like Chad Kroger. You're all fucking
talks. Benny is life and the punisher is dumb. How do I hang up this phone call. Here's a problem
if I tell him Predators dumb. Because we both. We both kind of love that shit. Two hours and a
half. You know nice and chummy. Fuck that shit. It was swimming below the surface the entire time.
We'll return to this fight later Max. Okay fine. That's all we'll settle on right now. Fine. Good.
Fine. Whatever. Just ask Max. Just ask Matt what his ranking is on KI. Matt did you did you get
above button masher yet. Yes. I have. I'm one level above it. Oh nice. Slightly better than
button masher. That's what the next one is. Slightly. Okay we got one coming in from our
genus and he wants to ask question for the hypers guest. Max. Oh shit. A question for you. Pick a
game that you think is really bad but add one mechanic that would save it or make it decent.
Is this mexa flan on Twitter. I don't know. I recognize his name. Yeah I think that's him.
One game that's really bad but one mechanic makes it great. Can anything save Shadow.
Dude I was just about to say Shadow the Hedgehog. Remove Shadow the Hedgehog.
Oh yeah. Right answer. And there's a mechanic just to kill Shadow the Hedgehog and then you
have potentially a Sonic 06 equivalent Sonic game which is terrible but fun.
At a mechanic or just. Yeah. At a mechanic that makes it good or decent. But actually
it saves it. How about like something a little more like because nothing can save Shadow so like
I'm wondering if it was I'd immediately think to like a fighting game. You know what I would say
we were talking about Smash a whole bunch about this and I had this like fever dream
about Smash Brothers and me loving Marvel versus Capcom games. What if yeah like straight
Wayne's World doodly doodly dude. What if Smash Brothers didn't have assist trophies.
Instead you just chose an assist like Marvel one and you only got to use it so many times.
And they were balanced. Balance just like Marvel. So you see a lot more stuff going on in the screen
but it is balanced because you can only use them so many times. Kind of like Zelda's Down B
but you have a customized. Exactly. Exactly. So I would that's what I would love to see. Like if
we were they were to upgrade Smash and actually change it instead of being Smash. I would love
to see something crazy like that. Yeah. Okay. That's a good pick I think actually.
Hmm. Solid answer. I got one. Oh yeah. No. You guys have one. Then throw them out.
Yeah. The question is from. Take PlayStation. Take PlayStation All Star Battle Royale.
Oh thank you. This is a good one. And add Smashes. Yes. Just just make PlayStation All Stars and
just Smash. Yes. Yes. Because if PlayStation All Stars had been the competitive like PlayStation
All Stars has combos. Yes. But just make make it so that you can score if by different means.
If it played just like Smash it would be a really good game.
I think it would be better. That's for sure. And it's and it is a little bit insulting to the devs
to be like they tried to do something because they tried. Please don't make it like the thing
that we brought. Exactly. But sadly is the truth. But the thing is even if it had that I don't think
it would have done any better because nobody was asking for that game. Nobody was asking for it but
like there was a surprising turnout of people at launch being like yeah there's competitive
stuff here. Oh yeah. It was definitely designed by the competitive people would have. Oh without
a doubt. I think people would have stuck with it for longer had it been more competitive. You know
yeah sure. Pat what was yours. That's the one I just said. So caliber five out of story mode.
Like a proper weapon master mode. I would love that so much. That was my biggest like
so caliber five is amazing. It's the best so caliber as far as the gameplay goes as far as
the content goes it's lacking. I disagree weapon master mode. Really. I disagree about which point
we just about so caliber five being the best one. I just I thought so too. Like after playing five a
whole bunch I thought so as well. But to be clear I'm not super like like tournament level. Oh me
either. No dude me either. Yeah just making sure basic understanding of the game. Don't even know
how to utilize all the mechanics but just in terms of a fun factor. Yeah I thought five was the best
until I went back and I played all of them in one day with with a bunch of friends and two and three
stand out. I mean one especially because of one is just one and it's amazing so caliber one. Yeah
but three is actually a lot better than I remember it. Even though it's broken sure broken but it's
fun. I swear that I heard someone say the exact same thing. I believe I went back to and played
three and it's good with three. I don't know and I haven't played it since it came out. Same here
same here. I believe that. I gave you a lot of time. I gave it a crazy amount of time. Me too.
Mainly because I came away unsatisfied. I gave it a lot of time because I love character creation
and that had a big giant motor. Oh yeah that's over. Yeah. You're probably right regardless I would
still want like a weapon master mode in five. I felt like probably not crazy. I felt like three
just didn't hold a candle to two or one. I don't know. I mean four is but like in my
head. Star killer though. Star killer. Yo that's star killer. Yeah I know I. And those characters
designed by mangaka. Giant nipples spike nipple lady whatever the hell her name was. That was her
name spike nipple lady. Oh yeah. Fair enough man. I'd go to the pacific room game and add a single
player campaign. Oh my god. Because that combat is have you ever played that max. No I think I saw
you guys play it. I'm like this looks legitimate. Yeah that and real deal. Yook's made that they made
real steel and they made pacific room and they're both yeah funner than they should be. Yeah okay
if if you ever want to like try out like a like I think one of them has a demo real steel
at least has a demo. They both because they're on 360. Yeah they're both on 360 and like they're
both way more legit than they have any right to be. One on one arena combat. It's a box real
reason it's a boxing game. Oh wow okay. But it's just it's a really fun boxing game to player like
I you dodge you weave you know all the movie real steel got you the movie. Yeah exactly so you
you kind of have Steve Fox controls on both sides. Makes sense. You just you dodge and weave and hit
and it's it's fun man. Yeah pacific room is more like a 3D fighter but like it's not super combo
heavier. No not at all. Single hits. Like an older 3D fighter. Yeah like everything's a knockdown
you know. Makes sense. It's really fun though. It's more like rock paper scissors type stuff. Yeah
exactly. We got one from Vince he wants to know hey guys does Dead Rising Count as Musso.
Is Dead Rising Count as Musso. No I don't think so. No I think absolutely not. I think
like the the main difference is like obviously you have a like massive weapon item selection
but the mission variety is just it's just different. It's massive weapon item selection
and a giant horde of nothing enemies. Plus it's like open world as opposed to Musso which is large
levels. Conquer these bases. That's true. Well no it's it's the biggest difference is that Musso
it's like conquer the bases and also it's a mission. We're open we're Dead Rising's open
world and the primary enemy is not like there are bosses but the primary enemy is always time.
With that being said you could totally do either game in the opposite style and I would be so
willing to try. Yeah it would work. Definitely commonalities. Yeah what if Lu Buu got lost in
an ancient Chinese mall. Shit that sounds like the greatest game of this generation.
And he has to protect other like his other generals. Take me over there Lu Buu.
There's just 4,000 yellow turbine soldiers everywhere. Lu Buu got the penny shot. What?
Amazing. Erotic. Alfie wants to know have you ever mained a character in a fighting game
and you just knew you'd never see them again. I say this as a Karen main in Alpha 3.
Yeah. Hakon. I feel like I will never see Hakon again. Yeah Hakon. Yeah I made Mega Man in Smash Brothers.
Yeah right. Maybe who knows. Rick Stroud in Real Bout Fatal Fury. You fucking use this guy and you're
like this is awesome. He's gone. He's gone forever. That's it. I know mine. Ranker. Oh god shout out about Ranker.
Yeah I know. Look up Ranker and Google everyone. No. Yeah do it. It's fun. It's fun.
Why is it fun? Shut up. Look up Ranker and Power Moves. He's just some dude.
Yeah. I guess that. Yeah I don't really have any others off the top of my head. Hakon's the one for me where it's like.
Yeah Hakon the day I saw him I'm like he's never going to appear in another Street Fighter or
Crossover or anything. Yeah. Ever again. I gotta say leading up to Smash 4 I you know Matt will
attest to the fact that I kept saying fuck I want Ganondorf back and I want him the same
but I did not think he was coming back as the same Ganondorf. I thought he was gonna be different.
Pretty much the exact same almost. And although I'm happy because he's my favorite character
I would wish that he was different. I would wish that most characters. He needs the hair.
He needs anything. He needs swords. He needs hair. Again that being said I'm really happy he
turned out the way he did but I prefer the variety. I really really like Ruby Heart and I'm sad we'll
never see her anywhere ever. Skull of Ruby Heart. The character that you invented. The character that
I invented. That's correct. Max for backstory. Back in the day after Marvel 1 came out before
Marvel 2. I was talking with friends and just kind of like sketchbook doodle type stupid shit
and I said wouldn't it be awesome if there was a Marvel 2 and there was this pirate girl
was a new original character and one of her supers would be a boat comes out and hits you.
I swear to god. And then Ruby Heart exists. But I designed her more of a buccaneer than a captain
type of thing but it was a pirate girl and she had that move and then Ruby Heart came out. It's
like fuck you Capcom. You ripped it out of my head. I love you. The funniest thing is like because
you know the actual story behind Ruby Heart. Not like her story but where she came from right
like the Dark Stalkers thing. No idea dude. I don't know. Tell us. Okay well since nobody
has any idea. Max Max do the voices too. A long time ago in the land of Dark Stalkers
Amingo and Ruby Heart existed but now they are resurrected in Marvel versus Capcom 2. That's
pretty much it. No kidding. Yeah they were Dark Stalkers characters. That makes a lot more sense.
They were from Dark Stalkers 4 which was being made until they stopped making it. Yeah I can
imagine a pirate being like a a horror sort of showy thing. Yeah or just like monster like
Mexican cactus. That kind of makes me want Dark Stalkers 4 again. Like if Ruby Heart
was active. That shit ain't happening. Yeah. You mentioned you mentioned everyone else. To be
a buccaneer there was a pirate girl in one of the later Eternal Champions games that
had like a bandana a dagger in her teeth. Her name was Riptide. Sure of course it was.
So you're not original. But that explains that because I was like yeah those two characters
were super like weird out of nowhere and like everyone else like even like Song Song came from
an old game. Exactly. You know like they they actually brought people back from things but yeah
they're cancelled Dark Stalkers characters. Super makes sense and that's such a good place to pick
from. Where you know. That'd be like if King Cobra appears in MVC4. Oh man King Cobra
forever. Whenever I hear the name King Cobra I always think of the last guy fighting Vipers who
was named BM. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah Bon had to take out BM. Yeah Serpentor. He looks like
Serpentor slash Rathamon. Okay and let's take one more question from Daniel who says really long
but the gist of it was I was a big fan of the guy who reviewed Bayo 2 for Polygon and I used to
listen to a podcast he was associated with for over six years and basically followed this guy and
really liked him. But you know after a couple of articles and things that they put out I kind of
started to get disheartened especially over like you know their stances on recent controversies
and things like that. Basically I saw like kind of like a hero die in front of me and it really
made me sad. Have you guys ever found that you've had someone you looked up to like that that you
just kind of lost touch with what they said or did over time? I gotta say I still love him and I
love him so much that I am giving him maximum benefit of the doubt for future games but Smash
4 shook me a little bit. It shook you on Sakurai? It shook me a little bit. Because you were on
the mountaintops crazy. Sakurai is my favorite. He single-handedly destroyed my hands for the rest
of my life. The legend of Kirby Air Ride. And I love all his games. Smash 4 really shook me a little
bit because it's you know we talked about it it's an objective step down in lots of ways and it's a
subjective like non-improvement in a lot of ways as well and that's uncharacteristic of his games
which are normally like massive leaps forward for sequels. I feel like I've seen it happen a
couple times to me but we've discussed on the podcast like sometimes like separating people's
work from their who they are and what they do and things like that. And I'm able to do that.
You know what I mean? So it's the kind of thing where like we talked about how
um uh oh god Orson Scott card apparently was involved with the story that they used to make
Ender's Game. Shadow Complex. Thank you. And I didn't know that at the time but hey I really
still like Shadow Complex. I have no problem with that type of thing. I can separate that.
Similarly um the lead singer of Muse which is I banned I fucking love to death for a while was
just crazy going nah they sent the government sent planes into 9-11 like they did it they were
true third type of thing yeah and he eventually like changed his mind like I'm sorry I was a dumb
ass you know and it's like okay that's cool but it's the kind of thing where at the time I was just
like yeah I I just I respect you for your work but you know I can separate myself from you know
letting that ruin what I like about you type of thing. There was some you know the recently a
lot of people like got on Tim Schaeffer's case because of his involvement with the the
Gamergate bits and whatnot and you know it's something where yeah I just feel like it's
important to sort of separate the the two separate the person from their work so that
you can't ever get really really destroyed if that happens no you're you're not wrong
you're super not I think that's the right approach for it mine is like uh this like we've talked
about him a lot here and there but like Dennis Dyak at a point I was like oh man his first
showing I don't want to work there right and I was like oh my god these guys are Canadian they're
working with Nintendo they're making a cool survival horror game oh my god they're the coolest
and then I remember he said specifically uh uh someone asked him a question like so are you
like a second party or a third party then attending goes no we are Nintendo like we are so under their
wing and we'll like just consider us part of Nintendo and then it was just like he saw the
Wii and he's like that's dumb you guys are stupid I'm going to make a game that that no console
could ever hold the majesty of two human and then it was just like such a disaster and then every
other following disaster like even the Kickstarter for what the fuck was it called rise of the
Eternals eternal super generic name super generic it was a play on eternal darkness that was the
same title but with slightly different words that I can't remember and when I saw the the little
demo or movie I'm like that looks good but I was still like again like me I'm legit shook I'm like
this is going to pan out it's all going to screw up and then like that that other that an employee
that worked at silicon nights I had some pictures on his computer and that got fired from them and
there's a police investigation like all of that just soured me so hard and it went from like
I want to work there to like I don't even want to live in the same country as the fellow for
anyone Canada is the best country though anyway that was that was kind of my like big fall from
grace I don't think I've ever had that happen to me because I try not to believe in anything
you go Pat yeah well no it's like you hate everything you can't she unending relentless
cynicism will save you from disappointment sure yeah you're not wrong you're totally not wrong
it's like it like to an extent like there's some a lot of people in the games industry that I've
been following for like over a decade like particularly the guys from giant bomb right
and I'm huge fans of their work but even if like I found out that like Jeff was eating babies
tomorrow like I'd be like oh yeah like we play games and write reviews and stuff like that it's
like it's not Gandhi it's not when I found out that Gandhi was evil like Kimia could kick me in
the balls and punch me in the face and you know I'd let it rock it's cool okay but what if Chris
Avalon came to your door selling stuff yeah and knocked on your door while you're in the middle
of gaming and said here can I sell you this uh bell videotron package are you happy with your
cable provider what if that happened pat I would uh I tried to pick the one and he left loose
outside of pizza and he takes your bat he sees it and he grabs it first I will assume that his
best work is behind him okay that's fair enough my other option was say Kimia was in charge of
making a persona character action game and put gross micro dlc everywhere no that was my other option
to give you god damn it this is actually a pretty tough question I'm having I'm having a hard time
thinking of who it would be but one just came to mind even though I'm not really attached to it but
I kind of am because it's associated with my favorite game ever burn those bridges max burn them
the the other one is like you guys are talking about like kind of like print loyalty like to
magazines and stuff like that yeah I used to be like a slave to play magazine back in the day
it was just just loved it and then I'd say the guy always loved reading his stuff and then one day
like some of his reviews just burned me hard like Dave Halverson and he gave sonico 6 a 10 out of
10 and I was just like I think this guy might be smoking crack did he play that well he was he was
an avid just he just loved sonic to death and every subsequent times people talked about he goes
nah it's an 8.5 now yeah he would he would keep dropping it so 10 on 10 based on the promise
because he had played a preview build and put that as the review maybe maybe that's what he said that's
a way to that's a way to oh Jesus Christ that was how does sauna keep coming back in every conversation
I don't know right the life yeah that play magazine kind of burned me hard after that I was like I
think I'm done other than that I would say kind of a developer slash you know big games personality
in the industry that I really don't think that everything they touch is made of absolute solid
gold anymore that I did before is tetsuya namura yeah I think I Final Fantasy 7 is my favorite game
ever um I loved avent children I like all that shit all that most of the BS for Final Fantasy 7
I don't like dirge a Cerberus but a lot of this stuff he made I thought was really cool and his
character designs but after yeah the bouncer was great bouncer was okay you know did you buy a
cell phone for before crisis no god no I didn't I wanted to know the story I didn't want to know
that hard but in general I just think that the guy just I don't know if he knows how to actually
make games anymore like if they're running into the same capcom issue where they just don't know
how to make video games anymore and I've kind of lost complete faith no and and it's true like you
see I can't believe I forgot his name I suck his dick so hard but you see the other guy who made
type zero I can't fucking remember his name Tabata Tabata exactly ship like six games in the space
that versus 13 doesn't ship yeah it's like you see that and you have to question yeah it does something
it's just did namura have the idea 100% and like when you mentioned when you mentioned the play
magazine that just reminded me of how back in the day I used to just I my home page on my browser
hire voltage n64.com which was wow for IGN the first incarnation of them I was that was my site
and were you watching quick time movies of mk4 fatalities of ocarina of time yeah when he's in
the woods and like that level they got reflective and all that you know like I used to just hover on
that site and I followed IGN over the years my first email address was an IGN mail address wow
you know what I mean I used to really be on board and then it just went the way of modern games
journalism yeah I was on IGN I was searching n64 and Sega Saturn and PSX you know like those were
the main headlines of that site yeah my I just totally got another one after we said that for me
it was Nintendo power did you get but heard at the manila folders no okay a lot of people did I
used to love Nintendo power I still love the old issues of Nintendo power but very close to when
future publishing acquired Nintendo power this was around the volume pokemon emerald was like
announced near so to give you an idea of time it's like a what 2004 2005 it went downhill immediately
and even I in my young age at the time noticed it like on the spot and like I kept my subscription
going because I was young and I was you know yeah and then a power but like I stopped and like when
it was coming to a close I didn't want to get the last issue like I have all the first issues I didn't
want to finish it because it was a husk it was the new simpsons of magazines right the zombie
Nintendo power that's that was way after like I guess people like Matt and I my age just tapped
out because the last run I got was the one with Lugia on the spine sure you know what I mean like
what I liked about Nintendo power and I didn't read any other game magazines at the time because
I was only playing Nintendo games at the time what I liked about Nintendo power was how it had
coverage of the games that wasn't just previews and reviews but it was like this is a cut of our guide
for the game or this is a cut of a guide we will never make for this game right look at the maps
here as we walk you through the levels it was such a good like that combined with their review
in my opinion gave you the best opinion on a game right because you got a an objective rundown of
of a chunk of the game plus a review you know plus whatever coverage leading up to it and that
turned they got rid of that and it turned into preview preview preview preview review you know the
modern game it became like the standard became the same everything else and it was no longer about
like looking all these cool things in this just really know so much about a bunch of games I've
had worse where it's like kind of generally I felt the same but I actually felt the reviews got
better because they used a better scoring system because when I remember Nintendo power it was
here are the pluses here are the minuses and then that was it they eventually rotated to what I
think was the best scoring system where they had a panel of four plus judges oh the GM giving it a
10 point review yeah okay and that was the best okay what you know yeah different panel of judges
yeah I'd say hands down best classic scoring system crazy red dude face from game from game
this game makes you go insane yeah I believe it that's a metric I can get yeah I know that
was always great we need angry red face critic dog yeah I think I think that's part of how like
people latched on to new grounds rating system so fast was like they reminded everyone of game
that was true pictures though it was like one to ten not one to five
max what have you got coming up on your channel and what are you looking forward to
holy hell well what's funny is that I've already played the entire game and I cannot wait to play
ban at a two again oh boy I I played the entire game completely in English I cannot wait to play it
completely in English all over again uh legend I know we kind of promised that we talk about
bail a lot on this episode it doesn't come out well not only that but then I realized I was super
but hurt jealous that you played it and I didn't want to hear anything yeah I knew I that was the
only thing I wanted to say I'm not gonna lie I was trying really hard to not watch bail footage
but that one video you put up of that one Easter egg dude and I had to watch it there's amazing that's
just one thing like that's that's when it's a very obvious thing but there's other stuff like kind
of like the evil within references to previous games that is in there and it's just like oh my god
you guys didn't do this holy shit like Kamiya stuff you know what I mean right yeah I guess you're
so there's a lot of that in that game and not to mention it's it's an okay video game you know
it's okay it's all right it's all right it's pretty good I just want to ask why they didn't embarrass
since you seem to have an interest in in this kind of game are you are you gonna play Kora this
week I was just about to say that yeah I'm hoping Kora drops like midnight tonight or something like
that so I can start grinding on it I did play a lot of it at comic con um so I've already had my
hands on it it's not as deep as something like bayonetta it is it is kind of feel like a $20
game or a $15 game which it is but naturally you can do crazy ass combos on guys and yeah playing
that game on the hardest difficulty probably to start will be the good idea just like I recommend
with Bayo too well I remember that interview they're like the final difficulty is what platinum game
fans expect yeah dude it's the the p-star expectation you know it's not like the Hyrule Warriors
upgraded difficulty where it's just you just take more damage you know right it's it's damage and
enemies become sponges yeah exactly so yeah I would definitely recommend if you guys play
bayo or anybody listening if you like action games or understand combat engines in any way
play it on the hardest difficulty it starts you off with because it's not even that hard
cool that's uh that's good advice I mean as far as depth goes like I'm definitely expecting it to
be a bit more like revengeance which was a lot lighter than bayo but fine yes yeah pretty much
it's about the same it's about the same difficulty like hard mode revengeance
mm-hmm okay uh going around my next yeah what that Japan Pat tell us tell us what yo I'm looking
forward to Japan I'm probably gonna go down to Kyoto you should probably gonna go down to Tokyo
I'm looking forward to Universal Studios yeah and during my downtime I will be struggling
through learning katakana hiragana and trying to play monster hunter dude Pat while you're over
there here guys totally manageable so I think you can do it yeah like I need I just need to get to the
point where I can look words up in a dictionary sure when you and then I'll be able to then I'll
be able to like manually translate all the menus and then I'll be fine yeah Pat while you're over
there there's this crazy thing that you got to try um I've been told by all these friends like that
that have been to the area and stuff like that and they find restaurants but they're kind of hard to
find and they're really hard to find especially where we live there's this thing called sushi dude I
hear it's really good you should give it a shot and really yeah yeah it's raw fish I'm actually
I have to try authentic once okay but like honestly like the chicken and the pork here has
been the ridiculous standout you haven't even tried the beef chicken I have not tried the beef yet
what's up that place around the corner big in Japan yes size of bookstore that's actually a
restaurant man yeah no we went around the side and it was like a fucking bookstore
okay all right what the hell I went I went there and that was awesome pork too yeah um Pat if you
go when you head down there you go to Don Quixote you get some fucking blackout god you bring it
back with you if you don't don't even come back you're right I forgot I forgot I was had to bring
back yeah I hope you can bring some that'd be awesome I'll try and bring at least four right so we
can do it on the podcast all right that'd be nice and I'm kind of bummed too because like I just
missed on the Saturday that I left was the um I was going to call it the Sengeki Cup where uh like
a but like a Diego was down there and a couple other players were down there and it was just a
crazy like yeah you could have gone down there and gotten bodied and I could have gotten bodied
in record time it would have been awesome you could have seen if Diego would remember you yes
exactly you know like remember me remember me the most important day of your life you're just
dude from other M and I remember you right and I and I could have seen I could have seen a Nishikin
take out Kazunoko blank out beating Yung that was legendary it's great stuff anyway um yeah do that
and try the beef pat man already did I'll do it I'm trying everything beef pat man do it
come down right uh I guess I'm excited good good you should be uh this week I guess I'm I'm most
excited for Korra I'm really excited for Korra uh I I'm bummed that I have to wait an extra day for
reasons that will become clear in the future um fucking Korra I'm really excited for that game
and I guess Beyo is coming out I guess uh that that should be you guess that should be okay you
know after I play Korra it'll be nice to cool down with like they'll be all right yeah with like a
piece of garbage yeah I mean like you know Hyrule Warriors is pretty great so I'm hoping Beyo
can't expectations really low can't even keep it low keep it lower the lower the lower I fain my
expectations for Beyo to the half year I'll be no that's two no no no no like put it we're talking
like launch launch era ony on PlayStation 2 about there oh any of you guys uh any you guys play
Devil May Cry 2 yeah the best of the series you mean like lower lower it about there yeah okay
