All of it, we're on it.
Just firebomb the website.
Is it good?
Just blow it all up for reasons that the listener will never know now because we've
cut it out because we started, because we had to restart because things that can never
be uttered have been uttered.
Never be uttered, don't utter them.
It's not quite revisionist history, it's revisionist like yesterday.
My tactical pressing of the record button is, you know, it saved this channel a couple
of times.
I vividly remember recording a thing with someone and that someone uttered something
naively that was one of the worst things I've ever heard in my life.
Interesting.
And I had to take it out.
Okay.
Sometimes when Willie presses the record button, I think of camera cutaways of everyone
else's eyes like in a DBZ when someone like does something, and then the Willie will press
it and go, if it just shows past eyes in my eyes, when did he restart the record button?
Exclamation mark at one moment, oh God, what did I just say?
Did he catch that unforgivable racism?
What do you mean that has to go on the internet?
You mean the truth?
Did Willie record that racist thing, find out in the episode, Willie recorded that racist
thing?
George Carlin, or was it George Carlin?
Some comedian was right, there's only one group that you can just be racist as much
as you want against, on the air, and that's the Amish, because they will never, no, they
will never know, never, no, so your hats are dumb Amish, bam.
Your butter tastes like shit.
Your potent society is destined to fail.
Welcome to episode 67 of the best and the best, hating on the Amish.
Hey, hey, I'm going to go build a barn while your sister ties in childbirth.
Average Amish Day, right?
That's correct.
I've heard stories about how there's been communities where the leader of the community
is totally rich and has all this tech and cars and crazy shit, but it's just like, even
if that person found out, they can't tell anybody about it, then they get exposed.
Yo, you guys hear about NVIDIA's dog?
Imagine that, it's just like, you're on Twitch and it's just like Jebediah puts a z-keel
on blast, and it's like a video of his big opulent room, look at his Atari 2600, what
an asshole.
Oh man.
Making fun of his hat.
Get wrecked.
Okay, we can't just spill out the whole pod.
We actually could.
We're already at, what, three minutes, so we only have to do that like 80 more times.
Best friends versus the Amish, settle it and smash.
Well, they're not allowed to touch the controller, the skin burns, right?
Yeah, no, you can only play Smash against Amish people that are on that pilgrimage where
they do all those drugs.
The Oregon Trail.
Yeah, the one over there, they get the fuck out.
It's the coolest idea.
You want to be Amish, okay, you turn 18, go spend like what, two years in the city?
It's the devil's something, it's called.
The devil's playground.
Devil's playground.
Get it all out of your system.
Get it all out.
All of it.
And when it's done, you come back, you put the hat on.
If you want.
And some of them do.
Yeah.
A lot of them are like, whoa.
Those drugs and sex were great.
But.
But I feel kind of unfulfilled.
Right, right.
I need to escape these 20 children I now have.
Yeah.
Did you see that news story about some guy in a mask just butted into a Smash tournament?
Wrecked everyone and left.
Uncle Master 3000, the spirit of melee.
Oh no, I thought it was an Amish guy.
I thought it was Sushi X.
And a guy showed up, Falco Master 3000, he has a mask on, didn't say a word.
What was the mask?
Never took, just a black balaclava with glasses, didn't say a word, didn't eat a thing, never
took it off, won the tournament, was asked how he felt about winning, gave a thumbs up.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
This is real.
He just came in and won the melee tournament.
That's the best.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
That is legendary.
It's amazing.
Next week we're going to find out that this mask guy was actually a 10 year old guy hired
by GameStop.
Oh man.
I hope this one's the real thing.
It was a melee tournament.
Smash 4 promotion.
That's fucking dope.
I like that.
Because I remember I was at Evo when Horsehead was playing.
Right.
And like, fucking Kudos playing Horsehead.
And he's using Makoto and he's doing Fukiage and shit.
I'm like, how the fuck are you even seeing the screen?
I thought it was funny because I could never, I never saw a shot of both of you in the same
room at the same time.
So I just figured that.
You just assumed that the weird drag's coming out of the horse neck.
There's Wally.
No.
He's hit all alone.
Like, I was really impressed with that.
The dude fucking knew what was up.
I've got this screenshot on my desktop that I'm never going to get rid of.
I think it was Wednesday night fights.
Two guys playing Marvel and both of them have Horseheads on.
Never.
I'm never getting rid of that.
That's Marvel.
That's Marvel.
That's Marvel, baby.
What's everybody's week like?
It's, it's raining snow outside.
No.
It's really crazy.
Liam, it's called falling rain ice.
Falling rain ice.
Falling rain ice.
From the north.
Yeah.
We got the precipitations going on you guys.
It's making us all slush.
It's a, it's a goddamn winter wonderland until you put your foot in it.
And then it's like.
This is garbage.
Manical deep.
This is slush.
Yeah, exactly.
This is an actual snow.
It needs to crunch, man.
Like when it crunches, then it's good.
Worst, worst fucking season.
Best season.
Confirmed.
Fall is really nice.
You get your pumpkin spice.
This podcast, you will notice that Woolie seems a little more downtrodden and I'm gaining
power over time as the, as the seasons align to our energy.
Everyone's more miserable outside now.
Are you implying that I have sad seasonal affectation disorder?
No.
I'm implying that you.
Yeah.
I'm implying that you complain about the snow like every day from November to March.
It's the worst.
Every day.
It's unnatural.
It's not.
I know it's super unnatural.
For everyone who's in our vicinity, it's always the same.
Woolie goes, uh, snow.
Followed by, yeah, the snow.
And then everyone just goes, he's fucking, uh.
You're not fucking made for this shit.
See, here's the thing is that when I was a kid and I saw any, any movie or anything where
people go to, to, uh, like, you know, south of the equator, I assumed they did not celebrate
Christmas.
Oh, really?
How could you?
No, you just celebrated.
No.
Australian Christmas has surfboards.
That's what I was going to say.
Is that you don't have fur trees.
What do you worship?
Nothing.
Oh, well then you must work.
So when, so at home alone, when they, when the half the family goes to Florida and Kevin
goes, is there Christmas there?
Is there no, am I supposed to worship a palm tree?
Well, no, because it's Florida.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You keep saying worship.
I mean, Florida man stole Christmas.
Whenever we start getting into, like, November and the snow starts arriving, all I can think
of is jingle all the way every day.
You mean the movie?
The movie.
Not the song.
No, the movie.
Every day.
Exactly.
Tobo.
That's the best movie.
That is the best movie.
You're not wrong and I'm neither am I, but that is.
That's a movie.
Oh man.
I wish they'd show that again in theaters.
No, give me the cookie.
Put the cookie down.
Down.
Yeah.
So bad.
Bad Santa.
Bad Santa is real good.
I saw not too long ago Billy Bob Thorne was like, yeah, we're making a sequel.
Of course we are.
And like the bad Santa is an idea that you could sequelize that every year to be fine because
all you need is a dirtbag old man being a shit to kid.
You could play by a different guy every couple of years like a huge bum.
It could be like Miracle on 34th Street.
But like the idea of like Santa drunk vomiting onto children is just never going to get
not funny.
I mean Christmas is still going to go on for at least what, another 10?
I'll add 10.
Before it's all over it's got a little left in it.
Before Black Friday just consumes it.
Or like have this one bad Santa movie that's all high concept or bad Santa is played by
different guys throughout the age.
So it's like a young bad Santa.
Old man.
It's like Bob Dylan and some shit.
It's always questioning if he's actually bad.
I can't wait for next gen Christmas though.
That shit looks amazing.
Yeah, I know.
What does it mean to be bad?
You keep being bad to finance.
Matt, what did you do last week?
Yeah, until it started us off.
Fearless later.
I watched a bunch of Star Trek next generation.
That's a good week.
That's a good goddamn week.
Tell us one episode that was so bizarre.
Well, I fell asleep during it and then I watched it again the next morning.
You know how you are with Simpsons?
I want to say I'm like that.
It's TNG, right?
Yes.
Okay, good.
But it's this episode where it's the famous one where the Black Ensign goes nuts and starts
grabbing his head.
That's right.
That's right.
And then when the crew realize they can't beat the big dumb face in the clouds, they
just go, well, might as well just kill ourselves.
And Riker and Picard are just like ready to do it.
How much time should we put on the clock?
Like five minutes?
No.
They go, can't be too little, can't be too much.
And then Riker goes, 20 minutes sounds like a round number.
And I go, what the fuck is this real?
And then the big dumb face in the clouds goes, I'm going to create some death experiments
on your ship.
I'm going to need about half your ship, like half your crew.
I'm going to kill half of it.
That's about it.
So then their thing is, let's kill all of us.
So he doesn't get the sad stuff.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
And I was like, no one tried anything.
Jordan didn't go, oh, there's some fucks making passers.
The first solution was just kill ourselves.
The first solution was give up.
Well, to be a true leader, like half of the time, calling a bluff is not a bluff.
You're really just doing it.
He's really doing it.
He's like, you're going to let us go.
Or is it precocious?
Jordan was in his quarters sipping tea and Troy comes in and she's like, I don't think
it's a good idea to kill ourselves.
And he goes, explain.
And then, you know, it has a natural ending.
But that was the most bizarre episode I ever saw because it's like they always try something.
You know, I just realized they do that exact same episode with Voyager, like literally
the same exact concept.
Is it a big dumb face?
No, it's over the course of a month.
And like everyone's getting weird, weird physical ailments.
And Jane Wayne's like, oh, I got this weird headache.
And then somebody gets special magic vision and sees that people are like drilling in
or brain for experiments.
And then they use like the same solution.
Just fucking blew up.
Like, okay, well, your research isn't going to be worth shit if all of us explode.
And I also watched Horns.
Have you heard of that?
Horns.
Based on Stephen King's son's novel and stars Daniel Radcliffe from American Accent.
And he's the guy that gets accused of killing his girlfriend.
And everyone assumes he's guilty.
He's not.
And he just grows double horns one day.
He's able to control everyone and everyone speaks their mind when around him.
So he tries to find the killer.
So it's like reverse liar liar.
It's reverse liar liar.
Okay.
Right.
And it was really weird.
Like, do you know what?
He was the best part of it.
He liked it better with an English accent.
He was like cool.
American accent?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, American accent.
Like, he feels more fake with his natural accent.
That's because British people are fake.
He's actually acting.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
This time.
Right, right.
And it was really weird.
It was an interesting movie.
But at the same time, some of these movies where I have powers, but they're very inconsistent
and the movie doesn't tell you why.
Sometimes people don't.
So he's able to tell us, say, someone wants you to start sucking each other's dicks or
something.
He goes, then people start doing that in the movie.
And then he gets charted off to the police station and then doesn't do anything.
He just lets them take it.
I'm like, I thought-
The power was planned, man.
Yeah.
That sounds a bit like preacher in that sense.
It's a little like preacher.
Yeah.
And preacher, he always does it after a certain point.
It sounds really good, but at the same time, that kind of takes me out of a movie where
it's like, why aren't you doing the thing?
We already saw that you could easily escape this situation.
So why aren't you-
God, man.
Just that one part early on where it's just, you have the power to say something and make
people do whatever the fuck you want.
And you tell the guy to go fuck himself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The guy is like being charted into a hospital.
What did you do?
Anyway.
I played about an hour or two of AC Assassin's Creed Rogue.
Because I'm like, let's see what the safe-
The safe choice.
But not great thing is.
And like, we all liked AC4, I think.
I really like it.
Holy shit.
It's the same thing as AC4, but like-
You're a cool, like Scottish Irish guy.
That sounds cooler.
Your best friend is named Liam.
That sounds really cool.
And Adoale is in it.
Look at that guy.
What's your best friend's full name?
Is it Liam O'Brien?
It's not O'Brien.
Okay.
There's some game out right now that has a character named Liam O'Brien.
Not voiced by Liam O'Brien.
I thought it was Rogue.
Maybe it was-
It might be Unity.
It's not Unity.
But are you like a total asshole yet?
Your dude is-
No, I'm not a total asshole yet.
Your dude starts off already being like a cocky, like more of a...
Ezio type.
Then like...
What with Connor?
I can barely remember his name.
Toast.
Connor.
Toast face.
Oh no, a Hydrant man.
Anyway, so I played an hour of that and that was like, fine.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, there was nothing egregious about it and just-
I was like, well, I guess I'm good for Assassin's Creed for a while.
Because I still have no compulsion to play Unity other than laugh at people's faces exploding.
Yeah.
In every cutscene, apparently.
Has anyone played Assassin's Creed?
I played a bunch of Unity.
I honestly haven't seen that bug at all.
Oh, that's a shame.
Apparently.
Yeah, well, from looking online, it seems like it's a really rare one.
Yeah.
But it's the best one.
It's the best one.
No, in a weird fit of self-loathing, I decided to buy Unity.
Because I realized I had a ton of credit at the game store, so whatever, you know.
Honestly, it's fine.
There's frame rate issues and the frame rate's not great, but if you just disconnect your console from the internet, it's fine.
It's stupid.
It's stupid.
No, it's stupid.
You're absolutely right.
The frame rate should just fucking be fine.
I haven't played an Assassin's Creed game like a full one since Liberation on the Vita and before that.
So you don't have the formula exhaustion?
Oh, no.
I have the formula exhaustion.
I hate the formula.
I haven't played one in so long.
I'm going to give it another go.
Okay.
It's fine.
I'm not playing it and feeling like, oh, this is really bad.
I don't get that sentiment at all.
It's actually fine.
I feel like I'd be very similar to what you're saying.
I'm just waiting.
It's like all this performance shit is so bad that I'm honestly expecting a patch and I'll have to fix some of them.
Oh, yeah.
And Ubisoft put out their website thing and they're like, they seem to be really keen on patching it.
You see, they fixed the microchains action first.
Well, that was like a this kind of fix.
Fixing a frame rate is not a this kind of fix.
No, I know.
The microchains action stock for sure.
But to put it into perspective, between Watch Dogs, Destiny, and Unity, I think Unity is the best one.
Okay.
But no, but over the year we've talked about games.
I'm not going to touch it for now personally because like I said, I just feel that formula exhaustion.
I remember what it was like when I was playing Revelations.
Yeah.
And it was like, I specifically, I went through it and it was still fine, like you said.
But I was just rolling my eyes the entire time because I was just like, I was just so done with these activities.
I finished Revelations.
I never finished Assassin's Creed 3.
I didn't want to play more than an hour of liberation.
And four, it took me a long time to beat it.
I didn't do liberation, but I did all the rest beginning to end in totality.
And I like, you know what, when I look at Unity, I kind of just like, I'm like, I really need a massive refresher.
No, I have to buy Unity if I want to play China, right?
Well, yeah, you do the pre-order.
I might have an Xbox code for Unity soon, so you can just get that.
Okay.
Because I want to play.
That's all I'm looking for is China.
Do you know who develops, is developing China?
No.
Climax Studios, Shattered Memories.
Now, I'm wiggling my hands like, eh, okay.
But it's not Ubisoft.
That's what I mean.
That's interesting.
Here's what I want to know.
Well, 2D Ubisoft, I'm talking like, yeah, that's fine.
If they had a new team on that, there'd be no problem.
But I find it interesting that they farmed out China to, like, outside of Ubisoft, even though Ubisoft 2D is pretty good.
I'm really curious to know what Arno's personality is like because...
It's Ezio.
It's similar to Ezio.
Okay.
Because the thing is...
Right, Fretzio.
Because you were just talking about the guy in Rogue, right?
Oh, can we talk?
And I...
No, and I just want to say, like, I mean, obviously, you have the first game where a dude is super cocky at first.
I'll tie you super cocky at first and then it becomes humble.
Right.
And then in the second one, Ezio's interesting as a person, so that works out for a while.
Connor kind of failed because his only personality thing was he's a native guy.
Yeah, Connor's like really dull.
He's a warm slice of bread.
They didn't put a personality because it was just like being native is enough of an interesting trait to me.
No.
Because also when you're native, it's like you can't be this million-billion-dollar playboy like Ezio was, so people were like taking it back.
Especially not in that point in history.
Yeah, yeah.
It was super rough.
Yeah.
And then Avalyn's like, I'm black, but I'm also super rich, but I also have to free the slaves.
She was one of the most interesting ones, actually.
I think like Edward Kenway.
Yeah, it was great.
But that kind of cements is that like...
I want to get paid.
That is something anyone can get paid.
They need to have a personality.
It can't just be what they look like and what they're sending.
It's not even just the character.
It's all of the entirety of all the Assassin's Creed games are just bleh.
Nothing is put to an extreme.
Everything's dialed up to seven.
No, no.
Assassin's Creed 2 went to an extreme.
Brotherhood specifically.
Assassin's Creed 2 from Ezio to the journey to the family to the ending.
Yeah.
That actually went extreme.
And that's the only time they've ever done it.
But that's the only instance I could really stick my dick out for.
You beat up the fucking Pope with your fists as the final boss in that game.
No, that bit for sure, you're right.
It's awesome.
And then a techno god tells you in a fugitive song.
My only real complaints with Unity is like the modern day sections are worse than they've ever been.
What are the modern day sections?
They're just cutscenes.
Oh, they're just cutscenes.
So there's no more even walking around the computer lounge?
Well, not as far as I've seen with like seven hours of playing.
It's almost like they're trying to run away from Assassin's Creed 3 at every opportunity.
Anyway, that fucking terrible, terrible modern day story.
Just don't even have it.
I don't even care.
That used to be my favorite part.
It used to be my favorite part.
Exactly.
It used to be the most intriguing part.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Because everyone is waiting for the amazing Desmond build-up game.
Yeah, that's what it was.
In Rogue, it's again the exact same thing as the AC4.
You're a Sturgo employee with like a tablet and you're walking around in the exact same area you did before.
But the dialogue in there was actually really funny.
During sections like that, there was like this girl that's leaning around.
She's like, oh god, the power went out.
Oh god, here she comes.
Here she comes.
And then the girl from AC4, the main girl that gives you your desk, she goes, hi, all right.
Oh god, oh god.
All right, let's go team.
Go, Sturgo.
I really love Evil Future Ubisoft.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Any cameos from the Assassins in that, like Sean and Becca?
I haven't seen yet, but I kind of doubt it.
The situation that's going on there is really specific.
I think one thing about the present day stuff is that I always liked was those two characters.
Yeah, no, they're right.
The graphics are fucking excellent.
They're amazingly good looking.
The only low point of the graphics is the hair, unfortunately.
Hair's tough.
But yeah, hair's really hard.
But the environments look really, really good.
It's always tough.
If you want to know how tough hair is and you have a PC that can do it,
go play either Alice Madness Returns or Tomb Raider with Tress Effects.
And flip the hair button on and see your game's performance just die.
Yeah.
Good old Tress Effects.
Your console, your PC, dies to give you hair.
Looks great, but Christ, it kills your performance.
Yeah.
I just wanted to say, Matt, earlier when I said it was better than Watch Dogs in Destiny, I felt.
You laughed a bit, but the reason I said that is because like...
Well, Destiny, I just find is like a very similar game.
Watch Dogs.
You're totally right.
But I mean, in terms of like the big games that are disappointing everyone, you know,
and I see people calling Unity the worst game ever.
No, it's probably the best one.
Ubisoft should get shut down.
It's like, no, it's a perfectly fine game.
That being said, unless you're on PC.
Yeah, unless you're on PC.
Or I was looking into that shit and me and Woolly were laughing about it the last time you came over
for Dark Souls, where one of the bugs is like, crashes upon entering the main menu.
And just, that game is on fire on the PC.
It's hilarious.
And they had the balls to come out and just straight up blame AMD.
And say, it's some trouble with the drivers from AMD.
It's affecting a very small portion of the audience.
You mean half of the entire PC audience?
Because that's how the, that's how the PC markets went.
People have AMD cards, maybe 45, 55, whatever.
But for, like, for fuck's sake.
That doesn't affect consoles because AMD has nothing to do with it.
Except they made consoles.
Oh, they made the consoles.
I mean, like, thankfully, like, someone got their act together there and they kind of
like eventually went, all right, look, here's a blog.
The blog is great.
We're going to fucking update this constantly and tell you exactly what's going on,
because we're working on fixing all of this shit.
And it's like, and, like, that's, that's the right way to do it before...
No, no, it's not!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay, okay.
That's the right way to handle this.
To handle the crash.
You got a point.
Drag the bodies away from the rubble.
Make sure they're alive.
I wonder if this is the one, though, because I'm kind of like, for Watch Dogs,
I was like, yeah, and then for Destiny, I was kind of like,
but for this one, I'm kind of rolling my eyes with people saying it's the worst game ever,
because it's like, we've had it twice happen this year.
It's the worst mainline Assassin's Creed.
Sure.
But we've had it happen twice before in 2014, where people say,
I won't get fooled again.
And it's just like...
I said it just four times!
Just stop buying games on day one!
You know what?
Although, Liam, this is the one, though, that knocked their stock down 12.8%,
and then it bounced back up the next couple days.
No, that's a normal fluctuation for electronics companies around big releases.
Yeah, because it never does all the duty numbers.
That happens to all big electronics companies around big releases.
The negative backlash on the game would affect it.
No, it's majority because of day traders and stuff.
Well, again, this kind of thing happens with Apple around their big release.
But I don't remember this for any other AC game.
With a 32% margin or that much of a margin in general?
Yeah, large.
Because I mean, I could definitely understand that people are cashing out on the money they just bought in with.
But I think this was being reported because it was an unusually high amount.
Unless this was reported last year, I don't recall this for Black Flag or anything else,
for Ubisoft.
Well, sure.
There's nobody being negative about that.
I don't know how much.
When it's a negative party, everyone's like, let's stretch up everything negative we can possibly say.
I don't know how much overlap there is between this,
but I'm in a far cry for PC thread right now.
And there is a goddamn graphics setting in this thing called NVIDIA.
It goes like good ultra NVIDIA.
That's the level of brand deal shit they're actually going with this PC stuff.
Okay, well, let's save it for Ubii, please.
Yeah.
They're doing it every week now.
Every single fucking week.
Well, no, for this week, I guess I'll cover some of the stuff.
Yeah, what have you been doing, man?
Okay, well, on my own, I've been watching this HBO show that came out in 2007 called The Comeback.
I don't know if you've ever heard of it.
I don't remember.
It's with Lisa Kudra.
Just on the side, I finally caught Mike Tyson's mystery thing.
Yes!
Yeah, I saw that too.
It was super good.
Yes, it's a great show.
Did you accidentally stumble on that through Too Many Cooks like I did?
No, it's on Netflix.
Okay, because like for me, it is by the same guy.
So when I was on the YouTube channel, I did it also.
Did you motherfuckers?
It was right there next to Too Many Cooks.
I had a round of watching Groom Shaka Laka.
Yes, I did.
Yeah, you did.
Yeah, I did.
I bought 20 of them.
Yeah.
I watched it off of Mike Tyson's Twitter.
I just tweeted the opposite of that.
It's fucking great.
So The Comeback?
But The Comeback is a show with Lisa Kudra and dude, I fucking love like cringe, awkward
humor.
You do.
Like the British office is the one that I always like, you know, rant about because
Ricky Gervais in that it's so painfully douchey.
It's like I have to hit the space far to compose myself and keep going.
Like asshole playing to the camera really wants to be liked kind of thing.
And everyone just fucking hates you.
And you can see it.
And so Lisa Kudra was doing that with this show in a very similar sort of way where like
she's just a washed up old sitcom actress.
Perfect.
Trying to get back into the game.
Perfect.
Casted in a really bit role in a new like MTV style Young Hot Teens show.
Okay.
That's awkward.
Yeah.
And she's trying to be like the eight girl again.
So Lisa Kudra is Bojack Horseman.
More or less.
More or less.
And at the same time they're filming a reality show with her.
And she's trying to be, she's trying so hard and it's so fucking embarrassing.
I love it.
It's great.
There's a lot of track of course.
So that makes it even more.
So just sit there and feel it.
And then like something really awkward happens, go to everyone's face.
Stay on their faces as they contort in pain.
And then, then we move on.
Speaking of which, I logged into my Netflix and it says watched because Bojack Horseman
watched it.
Have you seen this?
No.
You know what?
It's whatever you've watched.
If you watched all of it, your Netflix calories.
Oh, because you've watched this show.
Yeah.
But now it's because Bojack Horseman watched it and he watched horse and around.
Are you?
It'll be just like a horse and around and they click on horse and around.
It's the full intro from horse and around.
And that's it.
That's its own intro.
Whoa.
I didn't see you.
And then he goes full house.
And then all the stuff that Bojack Horseman could watch.
Oh, wow.
And then when I went on my fiance's Netflix account and it says something for her.
It was like watched because of her character.
I know the character.
Because the character watched this on your Netflix account.
It's bizarre marketing.
Whoa, interesting.
It was really weird.
I was like, what happened?
It's a shame there isn't an episode of horse and around in there.
I would have.
I thought that's what I thought.
I feel like that's a bonus mid-season episode that they do.
Just like here's a full one.
And of course we continued the Gaimathan.
Gaim!
We did.
Finish this.
No, no, no.
We're close.
One more session and we're done for sure.
Yeah.
We got up to about 34.
And that thing's just going.
And Nomura villains have appeared.
Yeah.
I call them Kanako villains.
Yeah.
Are they fruit with a bunch of zippers?
No.
The heroes are fruit with a bunch of zippers.
Well, not a bunch of zippers, but the enemies that are showing up.
Look like Final Fantasy XII judges.
Completely.
Or more like Devil May Cry Devil Triggers.
The designs are really good.
Slash demons for the specialty.
And we got to the point that we were all waiting for in which just, hey, yeah, we're going
to go dancing.
City explodes.
And then some awesome voice actors showing up.
You've got fucking WAMU, like the voice of WAMU.
Did you ever look that up?
Or what sounds like WAMU?
What sounds like D.O.
And what sounds like D.O.
What sounds like D.O.
But it wasn't D.O.
But it's not, in fact, D.O.
Doing a D.O. voice.
You know, and just, man, it's really, really cool to see a show that, like, it's like this
could have been Monster of the Day, but they said, no, fuck it.
Let's write something.
Yeah, exactly.
And, you know, Ura Butcher.
As you call him.
He's being called apparently.
No, dude's got a fucking sick job, man.
He's a good writer, I mean, you know.
That being said, pro tip for anyone in the disaster area, if you're going to go get help,
when you leave the shelter, close the door behind you.
Close the door behind you.
Close the door behind you.
Yep, don't, don't.
It's a very simple step.
It's the simplest step.
Often overlooked.
Actually, no, not often overlooked.
No, it's never.
What the fuck was that character doing?
Just straight up, I'm going to go get help because monsters are attacking us.
Stay here, child, and old people.
Run out in the street.
See a monster.
The door is wide open.
Just run.
Just run away from the monster.
The door is wide open.
Those people, they're dead.
They're dead.
Done, done.
That's it.
It's really, really good.
I really don't, didn't like that one episode.
That episode with Kokairo was awesome.
That was great.
That was cool.
Well, because it was literally like, here is this character from this upcoming movie.
Watch as we pull the timeline back two weeks to like, what may as well be a completely
non-canon episode.
Oh, super canon.
And here's a character for one episode and it's done.
And that character was great.
It was dumb.
He was a fighting robot.
It was dumb.
I was super dumb.
That was dumb.
And that's like worse than filler episodes.
And shotgun samurai.
Shotgun fucking samurai.
Yeah, that's right.
That's sick.
Good shit.
DJ shotgun samurai.
Yeah, scratching the fucking reloading thing.
Exactly.
You know that's just a retrofitted DJ hero controller.
Maybe.
Gotta do something with them.
You play any games, man?
Unfortunately, not that many.
I don't like video games.
I didn't watch anything other than Gaim.
Not really.
Instead, I just, I spent my whole week playing RPGs.
So I beat Shadowrun Returns.
Wow, okay.
I'm one mission away from beating Shadowrun Returns Dragonfall.
If you have a choice between those two games,
pick Dragonfall.
Okay.
Because it's embarrassing.
That game, so I backed Shadowrun Returns.
And despite those games coming out two years ago,
I'm only getting around to them now.
Dragonfall is supposed to be an expansion.
It's embarrassing that this is an expansion.
Because it is so much better than the base game.
It's like calling Third Strike an expansion to new generation.
No, to new generation.
It's hilarious.
Just everything about it.
The first game has you going on a murder mystery,
and that's all you do is you solve this murder mystery.
And the second one gives you a goal.
Right away, you need money to solve a problem.
And all you do is you go on jobs.
And the jobs are all interesting.
And the jobs are all kind of evil.
And so you get to the end and you're like,
I really need the money for a really good reason.
But in order to do that,
I need to just blow away this random scientist in his office
while he's pleading for his life.
And the guys on your team are like,
they're not the typical RPG thing of like,
no, we can't do this, man.
They're like, dude, we really need the money.
Like, are you just going to do it,
or are you not going to do it?
And in some cases,
you run into guys walking out saying,
oh, you actually did the job.
We were totally going to ambush and murder you
if you didn't do the job.
But great, everything went out fine.
That's not that problem.
And you run into a cool situation
where the side quest vendor is shady.
And then when you ask a party member about it,
I'm like, oh man, those dudes are shady.
I really hope you didn't take their money.
And the only option available to you was like,
whoops, and that has repercussions.
Really fantastic game.
Also weirdly great.
So I picked up,
I caved and bought Dragon Age on Origin.
And the instant I did some...
You really caved because in your four staff you used Origin.
Oh, but boy, what happened was so funny.
The instant I used Origin, it crashed on me.
The instant I play, it crashed.
And the instant I tried to load it back up,
it crashed again,
making me very worried about my purchase.
But since then it's been fine.
And Origin has a very nice feature
because they're lazy
and they didn't do as much work
on their infrastructure esteem
in that the Origin servers are very, very easily fooled
by VPNs.
So when you set your thing to Korea,
you get to play Dragon Age at 7 in the morning today
instead of tomorrow.
So that game is not shit mountain.
That game is really good.
It's almost kind of disappointing that it's not shit mountain too.
It's like, they said they wanted to make that game like Skyrim.
Boy, did they make that game like Skyrim.
It's literally Skyrim with Dragon Age,
like Trappings and Bioware.
It's really nice to see some of these triple A games
and not the one that you'd expect.
Yeah, I didn't care about any position at all.
And then all these amazing views came out.
Eight months ago we were saying,
why would you have any faith in a position?
Why would we have any faith in it?
And when we went to PAX, which was at the end of August,
they had a big gigantic sign that says,
don't take photos or videos of the shit.
It was just a warning of, ooh, this baby looked good.
And the turning point,
we were actively turning her back to that.
Absolutely, any of us for that?
No, no.
So the turning point for me where I went from like,
I'm enjoying this, but I'm wary,
was when you speak to a character that was in Dragon Age 2,
and in discussing the primary setting, he goes,
ah, basically, ah,
Dragon Age 2 isn't as bad as people may get out to be.
Ah, and they kind of just backhand compliment that game
out of the way in order to just like,
ah, yeah, it's boring out there, but it's not so bad.
I spent maybe two hours dicking around
talking to people in the first town,
which is what I enjoy in those games.
And the writing is not embarrassing.
The writing in Dragon Age 2 right away was embarrassing.
It was so bad.
And this time they fixed it.
Also, now everything is Dark Souls,
because there's no healing spells in this.
There's potions, you get eight,
and they only replenish when you go back to camp.
It's exactly Dark Souls.
I'm kind of shocked that that is a feature.
I know!
It's exactly Skyrim, it's exactly Dark Souls,
it's exactly...
Like, everybody wears stories the same,
but does it still feel like its own thing?
It feels like a sequel to Dragon Age Origins.
Good.
Because we're calling everything Dark Souls these days.
Go back to camp to refill your potions.
Did you notice that when it changed over,
where Japanese RPGs started taking a little bit of backseat
to Western RPGs, like Skyrim and Japanese companies,
we need to, what the fuck,
and now because of Dark Souls,
it's American companies going,
oh, maybe we should do a different thing now,
because this thing seems really popular.
Japanese company took a crack at a Western style RPG.
Well, to be fair,
well, they've always been making those games.
Demons, though.
Demons was just the first good one.
No, no, no, but they've always been.
Yeah, Kingsfield.
Kingsfield.
But Kingsfield was so brutal that you couldn't even...
They've always had the theme.
Yeah.
I played it for about four hours,
and I'm really, really pleasantly surprised.
And to the point where I got to see
that point where there's the reviews that come out for a game,
and they're glowing, or they're horrible,
but you look at the game and you're just like,
I don't know.
Maybe.
Or is everyone out of touch?
Like Dragon Age 2 got phenomenal reviews.
I don't know if anybody remembers that.
I don't remember that.
PC Gamer gave it a fucking 96,
and said it was like one of the best RPGs of the year.
And so you come to this and you're just like,
ah, ah, is this...
No, they're actually on point.
This is the game that it appears to be.
It's actually really good.
Cool.
One other thing I wanted to mention.
I, over the weekend, did a quick little stream with Slow Beef.
Yeah.
He did a 1CC run of Alien Soldier,
and it was sick as fuck.
It was very cool.
I watched the whole thing.
Cool.
Yeah.
He fucking nailed it and pulled it off.
How did you do?
Yeah, no.
He's there for moral support.
Basically, I remember when he tweeted, he's like,
yeah, I was going,
I don't know if I told this on the podcast already.
Yes, I did.
Yeah, he tweeted that he was doing his 1CC run
or whatever he's going for it.
And I was just like, you can fucking 1CC the game?
I can't do that shit.
What the fuck?
How are we going to have a race while I can't do it?
Yeah.
And then he's like, oh, you can just drone it up on the stream.
I want to go for a personal record anyway.
Yeah, because who the fuck else knows about Alien Soldier?
Yeah.
And it was very much last minute.
So it just happened on Saturday night.
But the archive is up, so check it out if you want to see a pretty slick run
on Slow Beef's channel.
Woolies run to come shortly?
Woolies run to come shortly if I can get good enough.
Very shortly.
Liam!
What's going on, Liam?
Tell him what he's doing.
Aside from Gaim and Unity.
Oh.
Because you already talked about it.
I know.
Yeah, I played Unity.
That was all right.
I played Gaim.
That was all right.
I played Gaim.
I played Gaim.
Exactly, that's what I'm saying.
I played Tales of Hearts R a bunch.
I haven't played a Tales game.
I never played the DS versions because we never got them.
We never got them.
But I haven't played a Tales game since Tales of Fantasia on the Game Boy Advance.
And I haven't played one in a fucking long time.
So is it Tales-y?
It's very Tales-y.
But I'm super down for the generic Camp JRPG since I haven't been playing one every year.
Because I was talking about it.
It literally sounds like the exact same conversation about Unity, but about Tales.
Well, what I was going to say, the sentence that was going to come out of my mouth is
Tales is just the Assassin's Creed of Japan.
I wouldn't be able to play this shit every year, but now that I'm playing it, I'm like
seven hours in, I'm like, I can go for one of these bland JRPGs.
All right, as long as you skip out on every second and third one, I guess.
Yeah, well, I skipped out on more than that.
Perhaps more than that.
What about Tales of Horrible Shit in real life?
No, I have a horrible shit thing to say, but I'm just like, did I not do anything other
than those two things?
I guess not.
I mean, I guess since I already talked about them and others.
Exactly.
Like you asked me, like, did I play any games?
I'm like, yeah, I did.
I played Ness Remix and I played some other shit.
I played the fucking...
Oh, Tinkami.
I played Jerkog.
You're doing a Jerkog.
Not Jerkog.
I don't know.
Yeah, he was.
Nidhog.
Yeah.
You know, but I'm like, I'm not going to talk about stuff that we've been playing, not new.
I've continued to try to play through Sonic Lost World.
Fuck that game's bad.
Man, you're resilient.
You talked about it.
I'm this close.
He has a young man's constitution.
It's not fun, that game.
Anyway...
We're watching Gaim.
Yeah, we're watching Gaim and my mom texts me and she says, call me now.
It's an emergency.
Stop watching your Gaim.
Call me now.
And I call her and I'm like, what?
What's up?
And she's like, do you have the landlord's contact information?
I need it.
And I'm like, okay, what happened?
She's like, the woman who lives under your place was just found dead in her apartment.
And I was like, oh, shit.
Damn.
And apparently the cat was dead too.
And I'm like, oh, shit.
And so I get off the phone and I'm thinking to myself, and then I say to Wally and Pat,
on Friday, me and my girlfriend walked up my apartment stairs and I said, oh, look at the cute cat in the window.
And that cat was fucking purring for his life.
It was starving and it died because it wasn't fed.
It was meowing at the window.
A week over a week.
And so the cat was just meowing at the window.
And Liam walks by and goes, hey, there's the cat in the window.
There's the cat in the window.
Look how cute he is.
And it was fucking dying.
And lo and behold, it's dead.
Isn't that the most fucked up thing?
Like a week is a long time for a body not to be found when it's in its apartment.
Yeah.
And if you don't have anyone walking by checking, you're not going to have a smell, you know what I mean?
Yeah, exactly.
You're not going to know.
And so like, I just got me thinking like, oh my God, how many pets are like stuck in the house
when their owners die?
When their owners buy themselves.
See, a dog is smart.
A dog will eat their owner.
Or just make noise and go fucking crazy.
But a cat will just fucking sit there.
See, cats are dumbasses.
And I was like, they hate you and their idiots.
I was not ready for that, man.
That's terrible.
It was sad.
I felt really sad about it.
Well, yeah, but luckily you'd be dead if the story happened to you.
That's true.
You wouldn't have to be sad.
You'd just be dead.
Yeah, and also you'd be found really quick.
Right?
If I die, yeah, if I could see myself beating you there for a week or two.
You might fucking just...
I don't have anybody coming over to my house all the time.
It'll come to the point where Amazon will call up and be like, Pat hasn't ordered anything
in like two days.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
I don't mind you fermenting in a pile of centipedes.
Oh, God, come on.
They're smart.
They eat their masters.
Yeah.
You don't need your body anymore.
What do you care?
Let the centipedes happen.
Yeah, you said that.
Stop being greedy.
No, I just don't like the mention of centipedes.
But there's so many in your apartment.
Oh, this is so not funny at all.
Man, that went from a dark story to something really hilarious.
Yeah, exactly.
Man, that was like a whole shit.
That was really sad.
Yeah.
I played like two other games too, but we're going to play them for videos this week,
so I'm not really going to talk about them.
Cool.
Let's talk about some cool shit that's been going on on Kickstarter.
Cool shit?
Yeah, the number one...
This is a robot thing.
I thought you were going to say that.
I thought you were going to start by saying, let's talk about some cool stuff.
So next up on Ubi, please.
No, that's not cool.
No.
I mean, look, everyone's been sending it over my way and like, I'm on this shit.
I think a bunch of us are on this shit.
Fucking cannonbusters.
Cannonbusters is really cool.
Yeah.
Cannonbusters is awesome.
Cannonbusters is so old school because back in the day, we'd always be talking about cannonbusters
and Lashawn Thomas would always be talking about cannonbusters.
But it wasn't really a thing at the time.
No, he was just trying to get it going in some way.
So what is cannonbusters for those of you?
Cannonbusters is Lashawn Thomas' dream project.
Lashawn Thomas is an animator that's worked on like fucking everything.
The biggest claim being like the boondocks, the awesome action scenes.
You haven't watched the boondocks and you like anime, go watch the boondocks.
And black people.
It's black anime.
It's fucking black anime.
And they got like some Madhouse scenes in there as well.
Yeah.
That was really cool.
But yeah, man.
So he's got that going.
And it's been his pet project for many years now.
He finally just put together a Kickstarter thing for it because they have a studio, they have a team.
They got people ready and willing to go if the funding is there.
And how's the money going?
And they pulled in.
It's going alright, but they're not there yet, I think.
Let me confirm it.
They pulled in Joe Mad.
Yeah, these are friends.
They got Joe Mad on it.
And yeah, it's halfway at the halfway point.
They're over halfway.
They're at almost $80,000 out of 120 with 15 days left.
So they're doing they have two thirds basically.
They're going alright, but yeah, they got Joe Mad in there.
And Joe Mad is just like, oh man, I've always wanted to work on animation.
Like, you don't know how long it's been.
Really cool.
I used to be in the gulogs doing all those PSM covers for free.
I remember those, man.
Super shiny like everything.
Yeah, no.
And so you just go check it out.
They've got like a bunch of other really cool guys involved.
So is it a movie or is it like a TV show?
It's a series they want to get going.
They're making an episode, right?
Yeah, this is to film the pilot.
This is not a film.
Sorry, this is to animate the pilot.
So then that might be used to like, spur, like, chop it around, you know?
And yeah, it just looks like a really cool mashup of a lot of like old anime influences.
You know, little bits of Journey to the West and Dragon Ball in there.
Just, you know, it's a nice little hybrid mashup and it's like, it's not just anime inspired.
It's like, it's inspired by different like, different country animation sources.
A little bit of Bay Day style in there with some character designs.
A little bit of Black people.
A little bit of that.
Yeah, like American comics in general.
So yeah, no, it looks dope as fuck.
It does.
You know, everyone that's been saying, hey guys, check this out.
Yeah, absolutely.
We're already in there.
We're on there.
We're already in there.
I really wanted to go up because I'm like, I might as well do this because we're still
waiting for me to finish Battle Chasers.
Battle Chasers.
Wow.
That's gonna be on Kickstarter next year.
Imagine, imagine Joe Man open with all finished Battle Chasers.
Remember when I just quit?
You know, you won't.
He's like, yeah, I won't.
You're right.
They get the money and he's like, I fooled you.
I'm not doing it.
If you thought the way between issues of wetworks was long, try being a fan of Battle Chasers
a year between issues or whatever.
And the other cool Kickstarter thing going on is Override.
Override.
Override.
So this looks to be, right now it's basically in tech demo shape from the video they showed.
But the premise is so strong.
Yeah, yeah.
It is.
You guys didn't play it, but it's like a strong spiritual successor to a robot alchemic drive
that me and Liam played.
Yeah.
You control each limb of your body.
Or people control one robot.
Yeah.
It's actually Voltron.
Exactly.
So you remember that reboot episode where they're fucking trying to learn how to walk
and you can't?
Yeah.
It's that.
You know, one person's the legs, one person's the body, the other two form the arms.
And also form the head.
Exactly.
And like good luck defeating this threat or getting this kitten out of a tree.
Yeah.
Or even just walking.
Yeah, whatever the case may be.
The mecha design looks really solid.
It looks really cool.
It's got a scarf.
Yeah.
In one of the designs.
That's nice.
Also, I like the fact they put it in a thing where you could also just detach from the
mecha and be your own limb.
And just fuck around.
Yeah.
I like that it's using Unreal 4.
Well, I mean, Unreal 4 doesn't really have anything to really call itself anything yet
because it hasn't been a really game that's used it.
But I've got Unreal 4 there.
And at first, I think maybe I was like, oh, that's kind of funny.
They have Cliffy B right there.
And I was like, oh, shit, is this new game?
And he's like, no, I'm just here to say this is cool.
Thumbs up.
Yeah.
Thumbs up.
And I'm like, oh.
But when I looked at it, though, it reminded me of the Miyamoto test game there with the
tilting of the robot.
Yeah.
The sumo.
The dumb robot.
The giant robot.
Whatever.
But this looks super duper sumo.
Yeah.
But this looks like it's got a cooler design and a wayfutter premise.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, I'm supporting this, man.
I want to see it go the full distance.
Throw your pennies in that guitar case.
And they straight up have a section of it where they're like, here's a list of our influences.
Fucking Jehuti.
Gurren Lagann.
Avangeli.
Like, they just list all the robots.
Those are the three influences I want to hear the most.
Yeah, yeah.
No, they've got it.
They've got it.
Especially Eva, because the first thing that happens in Eva is the guy doesn't know how
to pile up the robot and he falls over, which from what you're telling me, especially since
I'm reading this thing, cooperative physics-based robot thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I've seen a lot of early pilots just falling over.
I can't make the robot go.
That game would probably, if it's to be released, it would be some hilarious YouTube videos
of first-timers.
Yeah.
Because I love the fact that it's like everyone's getting angry and the body's getting frustrated
because the legs are dicking around, so you just jump jet and go, fuck this.
Your arms are like, I'm out.
I'm fucking gone.
And the hedge just falls on the floor.
Oh, man.
It's 3D quap.
It'll be great.
Yeah.
Full LP.
Full LP.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's override.
All right.
So let's dive right in.
We already covered a bunch of the ubi-please stuff with some of the-
It's every week.
It's every week.
But this week is especially bad.
So Unity had a rough start, as we all know, and they're addressing those issues and they
put up the blog, which, like I said, I like the fact that they do that.
Yeah, the blog's really good.
Blizzard did something similar with allow because the new expansion came out there.
Server queues are out of control.
Holy shit.
Exactly.
And like they're getting DDoS.
Servers are going down.
Dude, those server queues are as bad as they have ever been.
Like I saw some people trying to get in on like, God, what?
I forgot my server.
It killed Jaden.
And it's like, it's only 6,000 to go.
Right.
Like fuck.
You have a 6,000th in line.
And so they put up an hourly updated blog of like how that's going, how-
Which is great.
Which is, yeah, that's a really great way to deal with that stuff.
So, you know, we had talked about Ask Creed.
That's, you know, whatever.
Well, I think the only like thing about Assassin's Creed this week that really got me was like,
why you gotta put microtransactions in the game?
Micro.
Like-
No, how about why you gotta delay the review embargo until after the game came out?
That's true.
That's true.
That was pretty true.
Bigger games like Destiny and-
Their comment on that was, fuck you Ubisoft, don't do that.
That's no good.
No, their reasoning was that bigger games that have a large online component-
Yeah, it was bullshit when-
It was bullshit when Bungie said it.
And it's bullshit now.
Well, no.
For Destiny, that's a huge part of it for Assassin's Creed.
No, that's the thing.
It's not the same thing when you're-
It's not a huge part of it.
That's why it's bullshit for Destiny.
In an MMO situation, it makes sense.
No, it's not.
No, that's the point.
They want you to think it is, but it's not.
You go into a map and it's a fairly open area, not a huge world,
and there's up to six other people just around in the map.
Yeah, and it's really hard to group up.
There's some-
It's the style of things happening there, but that's-
Where is the online for Unity is just co-op, and that's it?
Yeah, more or less.
There's not even versus multiplayer in that.
You'd never be able to judge the game without co-op that some cases doesn't-
Maybe that's just me.
So they just embargoed that shit.
I was gonna say, on the microtransactions,
like, why you gotta put microtransactions in, but like-
Well, I'll tell you why.
Thank God they're the most optional thing ever.
You see that talk that a Ubisoft guy is giving?
We're starting with Unity.
We want to turn every $60 consumer into a $200 consumer
with a combination of season pass and microtransactions.
Yeah, that's why.
That's why.
I'm glad the microtransactions are just for like fast-forwarding your unlocks
and not for like actually lock shit.
Like a weapon you can never get into the other area.
Yeah, or like you need to restore your stamina to do this mission.
Like, no, nothing like that.
Exactly.
It's just if you want to accelerate the pace.
Which doesn't bother me that much.
Well, when I read it, I rolled my eyes and scoffed,
but then I just went like, this is not for me.
Exactly.
This is for some people.
The most impatient.
This is for morons.
This is for morons.
Has anyone ever had the compulsion to like buy levels?
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, I was like, how can you justify
the inventing your own money
when you're playing something that is to waste your time?
For me-
Playing a video game.
I want to have fun and like it's just weird.
My thing has always been with like,
the Love Live game and Puzzle and Dragons
and Pajama Princess, like the three iOS games
I played the most of.
I completely beat Pajama Princess
and before I deleted it, I just bought a 2.0 microtransaction.
Yeah, because you used it like a tip jar.
Yeah, I played through the entire game
and then I just shut-
I did that with the Tribes Vengeance.
Where when it was on sale on Steam,
I'll kick in 10 bucks if I ever come back,
but mostly because I want to kick in 10 bucks.
And for the other two that didn't actually have progression,
when I just deleted them, I just said,
okay, here's five.
Let's say Street Fighter V comes out
and it's like either play through the story mode
like 10 times to unlock 10 extra characters
or you just rather give us $3 each.
Well, fuck that.
That's like how Gila is in online.
Costumes.
Like the costumes example already exists
and I bought all of those costumes.
Exactly.
I bought zero.
I bought all of them as well.
The other thing that Ubisoft had this week
was, well, not technically them,
but Patrice Daisy Lay has Panache Studios.
Panache Studios?
I bet he's really mad about being referred to
under Ubisoft news.
Watch his studio get bought by Ubisoft.
Like all his friends who are the stockholders
betray him and sell to Ubisoft.
Yeah, they sell to Ubisoft.
And they fire him for a third time.
And Eve just walks in the door
and he's like, you're out Patrice.
This guy is just,
I really hope whatever he's making comes out
and it's cool.
It was three months, I believe,
that he spent before he got unceremonial.
It's a quarter on believable.
And so basically, yeah, Panache Studios,
this is his new Montreal Bay studio
that he has set up.
Sounds like a bunch of his former employees
came along with him.
And they're in a legal battle to get
1666 back with Ubisoft right now.
Oh, I didn't see that part of that.
They've been in that battle since he got
because his contract with THQ
gave him full control more or less.
He fucking owns the IP.
But when Ubi bought THQ,
they own the assets.
It gets really messy.
So they're like, you can have it.
Just start over.
And he's like, I spent like two fucking years
on this, giving my assets.
Which are now like six years old.
Like, it's fucked.
I never met Patrice, but I worked with people
that worked with him.
And they're like, he's just super cool guy.
He's awesome.
He loves video games.
And it's like, he always was very like,
not anti, he was just very like,
I don't like the whole business end.
I'm not a fan of this.
This is how I made it do.
I spoke to him a bunch when I worked with THQ.
Yeah, he's a super nice guy.
This is how Ubi treats the guy
who made the best Assassin's Creed game.
Yeah.
The reason he left Ubisoft
when the more recent times
was the annualization, right?
Well, no, it was because he walked in
for the second time.
And he just said, so are we still the same
as it was last time?
And they were just like, yeah.
And he was just like, OK, well, that's all.
Like, it wasn't like Patrice Seraphite.
It was just like, no, it's still the same company.
I still don't want to work.
But that's the roughest fucking deal
to have something at an entirely different company.
And THQ gave him a sweet deal.
That was a sweet deal.
They gave him too much, almost.
Because the idea was that that would be
THQ's Assassin's Creed.
And they gave him that deal,
even though he couldn't work for them for a year
because of a non-compete clause.
Yeah, it was weight.
But they paid him for that full year.
Yeah.
And then, oh, just the worst luck in the world.
Yeah.
Or somebody who is so talented.
And apparently, he's a super nice guy.
So, you know, we'll see how that goes.
But in the meantime, I hope it goes.
Their logo looks cool.
Their logo is sick.
It's a really cool, like, vector render of antlers.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That is cool.
And then on the flop side.
Flop side.
Flop side.
That's the idea.
Flop is doing good.
Yeah.
Like, a lot of people are impressed with that.
And I saw that one.
And I didn't click on it because I immediately, like,
saw comments from people like spoilers.
But the hidden ending.
Oh, the hidden ending.
We got it.
I like that.
That's so cool.
I think I heard about what it was.
In particular, for the tone that's 3 and 4 have.
Yeah.
That is the perfect thing because the protagonist is stupid.
Yeah.
Like, the whole plot relies on the protagonist being a moron.
Yeah.
And that's great.
That is fantastic.
And I really like the villain now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's unfortunate that he has, like, 11 minutes of screen time
in the entire game.
Well, just like Boss, right?
Boss had way more than that.
But it's still the same, like, disparity of, like,
he's on the box art, but he only...
Yeah, they came out and said, like,
Troy Baker's really busy.
So the guy in the box...
That's all you had time for.
The guy in the box is barely in the game.
I'm glad you're there.
Here it is.
They have to write over this character around his fucking availability
of the voice actor we want.
Imagine if Konami just put out a Metal Gear game with Snake on the cover
and then Snake wasn't in it.
They did.
I know.
They did that multiple times.
It's great.
I have a friend that works over there as well.
That's a programmer.
Yeah.
And I saw one, this is getting posted around on Facebook,
with an ending where it's basically like,
there's a situation at the beginning of the game where...
Somebody just tells you to wait.
And you can just wait.
You can just wait.
And then the whole thing...
And you don't even wait that long.
You wait.
What is re...
A reasonable amount of time.
He says, I'll be back in ten.
The villain gets a phone call on his cell and says,
can you hold on a second?
I got to do some stuff on the phone and leaves.
And he leaves for 13 minutes,
which is totally reasonable to wait at a dinner table
when somebody needs to take the phone.
Right.
And you wait.
He just comes back.
And then the game's over.
When he comes back,
he just basically goes like...
Don't spoil anything.
If you know something...
He goes like, thanks for...
Okay.
Cool.
Now let's get on with what you want to write.
He just says, wow, what a gentleman.
No one does this anymore.
Yeah.
Because of course your other option is...
Is to play the game.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And so yeah, on Facebook,
he was basically saying like,
there's a bunch of people,
like playtesters and things like that,
or dudes that were working on it for the first time,
that would start the game up,
go on break,
come back,
see credits rolling,
and go, what the fuck?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, what is this bug?
What happened?
You know?
He's like, no, man.
Like he just...
Everyone tries to do like,
so test them on it.
Yeah.
They're just laughing their asses off.
You're not telling?
Yeah.
That's genius.
I really...
It's really...
It's really huge disparity between like,
unity coming out,
a lot of people being disappointed
versus like,
Far Cry is just something that...
Well, they're getting better each time.
It's for crazy people like me,
that are all like,
framerate nuts.
Like, as anyone read,
or seen the Digital Foundry,
they're not Far Cry 4.
Yeah.
They tested the framerate,
and they test,
they have like a 10 minute video
up of their framerate testing
with a little graph.
It never moves.
It never moves.
It's a perfect locked 30.
It never even hits 29.9.
That game performs perfectly.
Satisfactorily, with no issues at all.
Which is a weird, weird comparison
to the game that came out the week prior.
Right.
Like, everything about Far Cry 4
seems to be like,
hey, feel good, thumbs up.
And plus just aesthetically,
all that stuff.
Oh, it's so cool.
Like, all the fucking tigers
and that weird like, dimension
and the elephants.
And everything that's just about that game
is just like,
wow, this went from like,
because I remember I played
Far Cry Classic not too long ago.
And I was like, how did this,
where you just jumped shmo
in a fucking wine shirt,
turned into like this really cool aesthetic.
Because Crytek stopped making it,
and Ubisoft started making it.
That's the easy entrance.
Yeah, to be fair, when Ubisoft got it,
we had all those rough patches
like Far Cry Predator Instincts,
Survival Predator Instincts.
Yeah.
Those were some rough times for Far Cry.
Speaking of rough patches.
What?
Sonic Boom.
Wow!
Sonic Boom.
Sonic Boom.
You know what?
Move on to the next thing.
Maybe we'll explore that a little later.
Maybe there's a reason
I didn't talk about my week fully,
because we're making a video this week.
You know what's a good song?
Sonic Boom.
It's a very good song.
You see that fucking pause bug?
No, no, no, no, no.
Don't talk about anything.
Don't talk about it.
You're spoiling the channel.
Actually, going back to Far Cry
for a little second,
I saw someone I was personally
a little bummed about,
was just someone asking
the director of Far Cry 4,
will there be a Blood Dragon 2?
And he goes, no.
We're not doing that.
And I just went, boo!
I saw that.
And then he just wrote,
we might have something cool in the works,
but we're definitely not
getting a Blood Dragon 2.
All I care about is that
it's by the same team
that made Blood Dragon,
whatever it is.
You remember that old rumor
that there was going to be
a Far Cry Blood Dragon 2
Vietnam War 3?
Yeah.
That was the full name of the title.
That rumor was fucking great.
I wish that was real.
I want that Far Cry Blood Dragon
that they hinted at in Blood Dragon War.
It was the Quebec Wars.
Yeah.
And the Hydro Plants were going nuts.
I really want that to be real.
That was the crazy, stupid thing.
Like, it was, it was,
he goes, oh, you tried to save me
during the Quebec War.
I just were laughing my ass off.
Like, every time a game is made
in Quebec and they have that
opportunity, they always just shove
Quebec in.
They always shove Quebec in.
They always shove Quebec in.
They always shove Quebec in.
They always shove Quebec in.
They always shove Quebec in.
They always shove Quebec in.
They always shove Quebec in.
I still remember rolling my damn
eyes really hard
in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Brotherhood, yes.
When Ezio has to fake-speaking
French.
And the guys are like,
your accent is fucking weird.
And he's speaking with a Quebec accent.
Where are you from?
Montreal.
Yeah.
Montreal doesn't exist
at this point in time.
But they just put it in there
for funsies.
And yeah,
they have sex with all that.
At least that would make sense.
We're using it online
with Montreal right now.
The Olympic Stadium,
you gotta find some news for it.
Well, no, like,
Willie said, like, one of the
first words in the game
is Montreal.
The first word.
And Assassin's-
I'm the only dude
in my first call.
Yeah.
The black flags, like,
fake UB office
that overlooks, like,
East End of Montreal.
Yeah.
In Assassin's Creed 1,
you look out the windows
and you go,
that's fucking McGill.
Yeah.
That's McGill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whatever.
Like, that's hilarious shit.
But you don't get that
feeling from other locations.
Yeah.
Well, Fallout games
are usually done in whatever city
that the, like,
like Fallout 3.
No, you're completely wrong.
Like, your Fallout 3
was based in Washington,
because I wanted to do the camera.
And that is where Bethesda is.
That's what I mean.
But there are a bunch of
Fallout games,
and that's the only one
that has that.
I just meant that, like,
Fallout 3.
And because you can see
that there are probably
Bethesda studios in the game.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But that's the only one
that that actually happens.
And, of course, New York and L.A.
have been, like,
completely mapped out
in various games.
Oh, yeah.
Every single,
I remember,
I forget who was talking about it,
but it's like,
you'd go to E3
and, like,
every single developer
that had an L.A. level
would
force the L.A.
Convention Center
into the level
so that they could go there
during the E3 demo.
And the one that pops out to me
is the Black Ops 2 demo
thing like a while ago,
where the huge firefight
at the end
is right in front
of the L.A.
Convention Center.
Ah, that's cool.
It's like,
yeah, I got it.
That's cool.
I'm at E3.
But, yeah,
actually,
you know who does that?
Next, more than a
next close
than Montreal.
Um,
fucking Japan does it.
Yeah.
All the time.
Japan does it.
Right?
Acubus tripping
in its entirety.
It takes place
just in that Kyabra.
Yeah.
The world ends with you.
Yes.
Yakuza.
There's going on station
in SMT4.
Look,
I've been there,
you know, like,
yeah.
Even in games that don't
take place in Japan,
look, oh, here's Japan.
Revengeance being one of them.
Yeah.
Let's go up in this,
you're in Denver.
Here's Japan's up in here
on the third floor
or whatever.
Of World Martial.
Japan, Colorado.
It's a real place.
Armstrong calls it
disgusting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh,
and we also got
the most efficient redundancy
I've ever seen.
It's great.
The deck of Vita 7.
Have you seen this?
I've seen this.
Oh, it's the most
I've ever seen in my life.
The most infastingly
pointless device
I've ever seen
in my life.
It's such a cool idea.
It's so cool.
I have to try it.
So the Vita TV
slash PlayStation TV,
basically,
this third party company.
Upon mention
of the Vita,
Matt leaves the room.
I have to go to the bathroom.
I have to go to the bathroom.
I have to go to the bathroom.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Yeah, at the drop of a hat, there.
No, it's a third party company
made a screen with
controller buttons.
A shell,
a shell.
For your Vita TV.
And it's larger than
a normal Vita.
Way larger.
It's almost like a Wii U
GamePad.
Yeah.
You just grab your
PlayStation TV
and clip it into the back
and you fucking play it.
It's just a Vita
without a touch screen.
And it's like
that's a really cool idea.
But nothing.
Yeah, nothing.
And of course,
the ultimate version of this
is the second revision
that has TV out.
Yeah.
If it wasn't so expensive,
I would have bought it
in an instant.
For nullity.
I'm already interested
because I don't have a Vita.
Oh, you just have a Vita TV.
So this might actually be
useful.
Yes.
But you could buy a Vita
for less money than that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know.
That's the feeling I have too.
Yeah.
And carry my games
and saves around them.
Believe me, I'm eyeballing this.
I don't even know
if they'll ship to the west
or anything.
This scratches the same kind
of dumb itch
as like those portable game
cubes.
Yeah.
That you see.
But those ones,
I always really love
the portable game cube
because you look at the back
and the disk tray
is just open.
Open to the elements.
Yeah.
The portable PlayStation
had that as well.
What are you supposed to do?
Put a flip top
in the back of your handheld?
Nope.
I didn't do that.
My favorite was the
UMD attachment
for the PSP mini.
Good to go.
I'm not going to PSP go
rather.
That was the best.
Yeah.
Because like how fucking
like what a bad decision
of you to buy this thing
to begin with.
You're like,
oh, I regret it.
Now I've got to go buy
the expansion.
Yeah.
It lets me play the older
games with the
fucking spinning.
I was at a flea market
this weekend with my
fiance.
And I point to like
the stack of PSP things
and I go, hey,
what's that?
And she's looking
and it's like a logo of
saw.
And it says UMD
and she goes,
what is it?
And I go,
it's UMD.
And she goes,
what?
And I go,
it's the most
failed like video
format of all time.
And she's like
It's up there with like
Divex and shit.
And she goes,
what's it for?
And I go,
the PSP,
I think,
but no.
And she's like,
what is it have on it?
I'm like,
it's a movie.
Universal media.
But what's it for?
I'm like,
the PSP,
I don't know,
I don't know.
I bought two UMD movies
because they were on sale at
Walmart for $1.
And I watched them.
That's too much.
And well,
no,
for Holy Grail,
that's a pretty good price.
And I watched them
and I was like,
yeah,
there's nothing wrong with
this.
I will never do this again.
I will never,
like,
you can't use this ever again
on anything else.
Like,
there was never even,
like,
a player,
you know,
that came out and failed.
It was just the PSP.
If they put it on
a bunch of different stuff,
it's like,
Sony,
it's called
the goddamn
universal
media disc.
And it was the most
locked down
one
system thing
ever.
There was more freedom
on the HDDVD.
Yeah,
almost.
Oh,
I still put a candle out
for you,
HDDVD.
Well,
isn't it a cat
that some friend got
and like,
yeah.
That's right.
And it's the most useless
thing.
Yeah.
You got a player
for Christmas.
Yeah,
that's right.
Did you ever buy anything,
ever watch anything on it?
No.
Did it even come with a movie?
No.
Do you still have it?
I think so.
For Novelty's sake,
I'd love to take a look at it.
Yeah.
No,
I think I gave it back
to my friend.
No,
put it in a barrel
and bury it somewhere.
Just somewhere there's
some gamer hipster
that's got
all the opposite formats.
Yeah,
got the A-track,
got the beta,
got the laser disc.
Laser disc is actually good.
That's the one that's weird.
That's the one that's
got benefits, right?
Laser disc was
way higher quality
than anything else.
Yeah.
But it's the size
of a fucking vinyl.
Yeah.
And he will still buy records,
man.
If you see one
in its general direction,
it's damaged forever.
Hey,
hey,
you know why laser disc is okay?
You know why?
Because it's face-off.
Because of laser disc,
we get to have
re-unmastered
Star Wars movies.
Really?
Yeah.
You play,
we all play games
on arcade sticks.
Those are the
sides of fucking shoeboxes.
No,
why can't we just
use the controller?
Because the laser disc is,
I'm saying the whole thing,
like everyone that
ever had a laser disc
has scratched it.
There is no such thing
as an unscratched laser disc
on Earth, right?
Yeah, that much I'll give you.
You're totally right.
That's how records are,
man.
The sheet's gonna play
on a laser disc.
The laser disc.
The laser disc.
I remember listening
to the commentary track
on Street Fighter,
the movie,
the DVD version,
is the commentary track
that the director recorded
for the laser disc
back in 94.
So,
his commentary
is hilariously at a date.
He's talking about
President Clinton and shit.
Jesus.
And I'm like,
I've been watching this
like 2007.
And he's just like,
yeah, a lot of people
are saying that this movie
isn't good,
but when it comes out,
they're gonna be blown away.
And he recorded it
even before the movie
had come out.
So, he's talking about
how it's like
gonna change the world
of video games and movies.
It's hilarious.
Wow.
Okay.
Did you see that
Project Totem
is now kalimba?
I did.
Did any of you
guys play that in packs?
No, I didn't.
You must have seen it,
at least.
I didn't make a lot of time
for the anything.
Oh, it's a big tree thing, right?
Because I ran that Bloodborne
demo like six times.
It's not that game
that was really lush
and you were controlling a tree?
No.
No, no, no.
This is a PC,
Xbox One game
where you play as,
you have a couple of players
and you're a little bit
stacked on top of each other.
You know, a totem pole
is a bunch of different
things.
Yeah, exactly.
Each person is a different
thing and you can stack up
and shit.
So, there's two different
colors.
And you have to control
both groups
and like,
or you're playing with co-op
and you have to work together
for different colors
and combinations.
It's hard to explain,
but when you see it,
it's actually really fun.
Yeah, it's pretty fun.
And so, yeah, that's been
like a professional
announced to come out
because that was just in
like, again,
like an early beta phase,
I think,
when they had that,
like going around for a while
and so now that's
officially coming out.
I want to say early next year,
I think.
You think?
But yeah, the trailer
looks really fun for that.
And also,
randomly being announced
is just cost three officially.
Why not?
Yeah.
It was in Game Informer, right?
Yeah.
Boom.
Those leaks.
Those leaks were the funniest
things because like,
were you guys aware of this at all?
I was aware of this.
Yes.
I was aware of it.
And I saw the leaks
and it was like the micro
transaction leaks.
And in my head,
I was like,
that doesn't exist anymore.
That's gone.
And everyone blew up
because micro transactions.
And I'm like,
I can't.
Micro transactions and free to play.
And I'm like,
I can't say anything.
And then,
lo and behold,
just cause three announced
no micro transactions.
It's going to be a,
yeah.
That's it.
Exactly.
The only thing is,
I'm sure that game will be great
because it's like,
they really got a second win
after all that weird multiplayer
mod shit that went on.
Yeah.
That's right.
Just cause two remained
kind of like this underground
kind of popularity
for like six years.
I would agree with that.
Is that I'm not a real fan
of how the main character now
just looks like Nathan Drake.
Isn't it the same guy?
It's Rico.
Yeah.
It's Rico.
It's Rico.
The design is just
a little more white wash
than I remember.
His hair is a little bit shorter.
Browner.
It just,
when I saw it,
I went,
is Nathan Drake in it?
It's just my first impression
of seeing it.
It's the Colmograph effect.
It's the Colmograph effect.
He's a little,
yeah.
A little,
a little less Banderas,
a little more.
A little more bad,
a little less good.
Yeah.
A little less conversation.
Yeah.
I wonder if Bolo Santosi
is going to be in there.
Probably not.
I miss Bolo Santosi.
What did you just say?
I was going to say,
I wonder if they're still working
on Mad Max.
They're still working on Mad Max.
Yes.
Yeah.
They must be.
Yeah.
Because that game ruined me
and Pat Wentty.
Three years of Giant Barrel
said Mad Max.
We said,
where's Mad Max?
We were like,
it's not here.
So it's,
it's not ready.
Two years ago,
and Mad Max Fury Road
comes out this summer.
So that thing's got to release soon.
I'll do a Mad Max,
but this is,
this is here too.
Okay.
And like,
it's just amazing to me that like,
like now the grappling hook is just,
it's his character.
Yeah.
It's like,
a biotic commando kind of thing.
Might as well be a face attached
to the grappling hook.
Yeah.
And like,
just cause one.
It was like,
no,
it was just this action guy,
you know,
he happens to have this tool
and that's there,
but now it's the whole thing.
It's just action figure man
with grapple hook action.
Yeah.
No,
no.
When are we going to get
an action man game by Avalanche?
Well,
we already have an
action man game,
I believe,
but by Avalanche,
they know what makes an action.
They know how to amp it up
and dial it in.
They do.
Yeah,
turn it on.
God damn it.
I don't know
why,
why really hasn't choked me
into like,
let's play the action man game
and see what's up.
If it's good,
because fans had told me
like,
it's actually pretty good.
You got to save that
shit for National,
son.
Oh my God.
That's it.
Is there anything else?
Is that it?
Did you
blew out the whole week?
Did you empty the week
in one gush?
Well,
we need to take a word from
our sponsors.
Oh my gosh,
you're right.
Let's do that.
Guys,
the Amiibo crates are sold out.
No.
Amiibo,
the loot crates,
they're gone.
The special Amiibo deal
loot crates are sold out.
People are like,
hungry for Amiibo.
They're in demand.
There's a special deal
that Loot Crate was running
with Nintendo
and they got this Amiibo
thing going on
and they're gone.
All those loot crates
are so cool, too.
But what's not gone
is your regular loot crate
that you can sign up for.
That's still full of goodies.
Of course.
Last month,
it was what?
Horses?
Why do you say this?
Every week?
It's all these horses.
Fears.
Fears.
Yeah.
Or with the queue.
God.
Horses are scary.
Look,
here's what I'm putting
out.
I'm saying that
Christmas is coming up,
right?
It's snowing
outside right now.
Today was the first day
we got up here.
It's really true.
And the mood is right.
The malls are pushing.
Oh, they're pushing it.
They're pushing it.
Real hard.
Real hard.
Down your throats, right?
So far in the merry.
You know?
And we're all just getting
all confused.
I walk up in here.
I see Matt's got his Christmas
tree already up.
I don't even want to.
I was just forced to.
And we're all just like,
what are we doing here?
What are we buying stuff
for everybody?
Yeah.
We're no one.
We're buying stuff for
everybody.
But we never buy things
for ourselves.
Well, I do.
Way to cut to the cord.
Not for Christmas, though.
You're dead on.
Right.
You want to sometimes
feel the happiness
of Christmas
for yourself.
And what do you
want to do with
Lucrate for?
Is you skimp
on holiday gifts
for friends and family
so you have more
for yourself.
Exactly.
That's what the holidays
are about.
You get yourself a
Lucrate subscription
and it's like Christmas
every month
until the next one.
It's insane.
And then you could
just do it again.
It repeats itself
indefinitely.
And you never know
what you're going to get.
It's like an
Uraburos of gifts.
If you want to
invest in yourself,
check out lucrate.com
and head on down
and use the deal code
super.
So let's
lucrate.com
slash super.
You enter
the promo code super.
You save 10%
off your subscription
plan and you get
yourself in on
the Uraburos of gifts.
Surely they never
stop coming.
The never-ending
I like the sound of that.
Lucrate will
achieve complete global
saturation.
They will!
At just
$13.37 a month
plus shipping and handling,
how can you possibly
deny that?
Can't stop it.
There's no way.
I'm not denying it.
Yeah, I was wondering.
I'm sitting right here.
You look like
you were about to deny it.
No.
So let's think about
like, can I
like set up
like a P.O. box
and multiple addresses
to like
to bullshit my way
into getting multiples?
Oh my
I'm picking up what
you're putting down, sir.
So then I could just
use those
Lucrates and pick out
little pieces and give
those as individual
gifts.
This is
this is sick.
This is sick.
What a plan.
Lucrate.com
slash super.
Thanks, Lucrate.
Thanks, Lucrate.
Thank you.
All right, let's take
some letters, man.
Yo, letter time?
Sure.
Why not?
Well, I can think
of a couple reasons.
No.
Sometimes people send in
letters and then
reading them
physically hurts your
eyes.
Yeah, but you
couldn't name
ten reasons.
Ten reasons?
Even if I paid you,
you couldn't do it.
Okay.
Ten good reasons.
Ten reasons not
to read letters.
Brought to you by
Patrick.
Reading is for
nerds.
All right.
That's
a good reason.
Using your brain
is also for
lame-os.
That's for
try-hards, too.
That's for try-hards.
Using the Internet
only helps
the Illuminati
control all of our
brains.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah,
you're right.
I can't.
I got four.
I got four.
I'll give you five
really strong reasons.
Okay,
I gotta get one more.
No, no, I'm saying
I'm giving you five.
I'm counting that as
five.
It makes
Willie feel bad trying
to read them because
of his poor reading
skills.
Oh, have we upgraded
from being
illiterate to poor
reading skills?
I'm saying illiterate.
Okay.
We don't
want to rub it in too much.
See,
a lot of people
are wondering,
how is it that Pat keeps
saying that Willie can't
read, and then
Willie clearly reads
all the emails?
Right.
That's because
before the podcast,
Matt, Liam, and I
all transcribed the
podcast into picture form.
Yeah.
I'm rubbing
braille,
basically.
It's like a
eyeball braille.
Okay.
It's like it's
not words though,
because that's what that
would actually be.
If you
have any more
reasons and
you want to send them in,
where should you send them?
That's
the
super best braille
podcast
at Braille.G.
Super best
friendcast
at gmail.com.
What was that,
Pat?
Super best
friendcast
at gmail.com.
And if
you're wondering
what an
audio visual representation
of an
email address
that specific
without using any
letters or numbers
would look like,
send us an
email.
Yep.
And we might
answer it
next week.
We got
what coming in.
I'm trying so
hard to make this
sit.
I'm really working it.
I'm working it.
I'm putting on
your high boots
and your little
skirt and you're working it.
I'm working it.
Work that booty.
So that art
just now exists.
Thanks, Bob.
In advance.
Shout out.
Well, we already
saw Pat and
Etta.
What was the
one with I just
had a problem is he's
doing so many that
like every second
lose track.
I'm just like,
what is this one
even that I said?
Or was it something
that someone said
when I wasn't around?
No, I just think
I think he has a dark
part inside of him
that just
like we all do.
And he's just
like, I got to draw
Pat and that naked
making out.
50% of
that part.
But that one
happened.
That was one of
his better pieces.
Yeah.
Hang it on the wall.
We got one coming in
from Gustavo.
And Gus wants to know
which is it serious
question.
I loved your role in
season three of Breaking
Bad.
I really did as well.
Absolutely.
Fucking Pollo Sormano.
So that's the best anyway.
What the fuck does the
Yokami game over screen
look like?
I don't know.
I died once in that
game.
So I know
I saw it to the
to me it was to the
Fox.
Yeah.
I died once in the
game.
And when I got to the
end of the game, that one
death was enough to cut me
out of the S rank, which
meant I couldn't get the
Amatorasu costume.
I don't know.
I got the Amatorasu
costume.
Well, I guess
me it was time also.
Time.
Okay.
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
That's a really good
question.
That's fantastic.
We should go
open on that a little
bit more.
It's like, yo,
Yokami's an amazing
game.
You're never going to
lose.
That game is easy.
Yeah.
That's why it's so long
because if it was short,
then you'd be really
like chunk changes.
Yeah.
Instead it's like, dude,
that game is like
60 hours.
Like that.
I can imagine if Kirby
was many hours long.
That that like Okami's
like value length
was shocking.
It was because that
game honest just builds
up to the final boss fight.
And then the game
like essentially gives you
what is probably credits
and then goes, no,
you ain't seen shit
and we're going to go
and we're going to go.
It's like a whole,
the analogy that I've used
it's its own trilogy
inside a single game.
Inside itself.
Yeah.
And I like
Oh my god.
I think that Okami 2
is the best of the three
followed by Okami 1
followed by Okami 3.
Holy shit,
it's a trilogy in one game.
Basically.
The way that builds up.
Yeah.
Only Okami and Die Hard Trilogy
ever pulled it off.
Yeah.
Mordor only got two.
Yeah.
Mordor only got two.
Mordor only got two in there.
Pathetic.
Pathetic.
Trilogy.
I feel like
the Mario,
the new Mario formula of like
having a
satisfactory point
where a casual person
would stop playing.
I'd eat the game
and then unlock the
10 extra levels.
Yeah.
Like they did that
and they didn't put credits up.
That's kind of how that went.
Yeah.
What a fantastic game.
We've got one coming in
from,
oh chatterbox once again,
asks about strategy guides.
Hey, subpar best friends.
Do strategy guides written for
video games have any practical
use while most people have
easy access to the internet
and therefore
online facts?
I feel pre-mustral strategy guides
have gone the way of the
physical disc copies
and they aren't really
necessary anymore.
They used to be really,
really good because
you need to see the only way
you were going to get it.
There's still some good ones.
Like I bought the wonderful
101 and Revengeance ones
because I just want to
pull money into that hole.
Yeah.
And I'm thumbing through them
and I actually used them
in some instances where it's
like what are the numbers
I need to hit to get an S rank
for this section.
So the problem is...
And having those numbers...
Yes.
The problem is that people
immediately data mine these
and throw them up on the net.
Well, of course.
What I was going to say is
like I think that with
Revengeance and Bayonetta
you get a beautiful
hardcover book.
Yeah, that's true.
This is the Bayonetta
with the ribbon?
Yeah.
I am not going to crack
that up in too often.
I got the Hyrule Warriors
art book.
I didn't have any interest
in it.
When the guy pointed out to me
I went eh.
And with that again I went
yeah.
They had like a giant
section for art.
I said yes, sure.
Exactly, right?
But I think the little
loose floppy things like
I bought the Street Fighter
one.
I got the Marvel one
because frame data, right?
Yeah.
So for fighting games
I really enjoy buying them
usually because they come out
of the game.
And I just want to learn
everything I can right before
the game comes out.
I remember buying the Dark Souls
1-1 just in case.
There was a point where I was
just like man, fuck.
But I mainly bought it for
New Game Plus.
So like when I beat the game
I could now open it
spoiler free and be like
oh that's where that is.
But by the time I had beaten
the game three or four patches
had come out that
totally invalidated the
strategy guy.
Yeah.
That happens more and more
and more and more.
Yeah.
Where like not just bug fixes
but like anything with
an online component
like that strategy guy
is not worth the paper
it's printed on
because it's going to change.
And you know,
but when we're playing
doing this lock as well
it was convenient.
It was very handy to have
apps.
To not have to turn to a laptop
or anything.
I would always much rather
have a book to my side
or in front of me
on my exact counter
or else.
Then be pulling up
my fucking phone
and scrolling through
it.
Definitely.
I had another one
with Pikmin 3
after I just blasted
through that game
I bought the strategy guy
because I fucking love it.
And I was pouring through it
in my bed
and I was like oh my god
I could do this so much quicker
if I went like
looking at the maps
in a kind of open game.
It's not just like
railroaded corridors
the whole way through.
Like it really like
kind of makes you think
about repeat plays
and you learn.
It's good for games like that
which it's not like
because how to beat
that's not what they're good for anymore.
Like Call of Duty strategy guides
are hilarious.
Like I don't know
about the multiplayer
halves of them
because I've looked at them
and been like
changes all the time.
I figure that's the case.
But the single player sections
like what?
No.
Also just elaborate maps
and locations on the maps.
Because not every FAQ
has like
external links like that.
And not every FAQ
will have like
accompanied video
to show you something.
Well when you get to an FAQ
and you'll be like
where's this object?
It's near the third
horizontal bar
on the opposite end
of the cathedral.
And you're like
Yeah.
The Fallout 3 guide
actually helped me a lot
with stuff like that
because I'm like
That one's like a fucking Bible.
It's a first of all
it's so enormous
that it's going to be
like six months
before anyone compiles
something of this magnitude.
And the other thing
it's like
dude I need
the 50 Nuka Colas.
I need them.
Where?
Where are they?
How?
And stuff like that.
It's like
you have a good nice map
overview of areas
like that DC area
in the middle
was so complicated
and like
yeah stuff like that.
Like one of the reasons
to like
kind of justify books
a little bit more
is that like
when Keeler Erneston came out
it was a strategy guide
they labeled it
the ultra fan book.
So it was half a strategy guide
half an art book
and half a making of
of the thing.
So you did your game
like let's say you got
like some game
like is a middle
sort of thing
like if you want to put out
something for extra
people to buy
as a strategy guide
it might not be enough
like split it into two
instead of like
putting out one.
I remember there was a
it was a two pack
when the Assassin's Creed one
came out
there was a two pack
where it was bounded
the art book
and the strategy guide
one.
That's a colossal waste
of money in that sense.
In Japan
in Japan that's the thing
you get a lot more often
like
I have the near
like strategy guide
slash art book
and like
I know this sounds shitty
because I own a lot of books
I think that's my favorite
book that I own
like all of the art
and stuff in there
and all the side stories
and like
there's so much stuff
I'd really love it.
Japanese things
like overload with information.
Yeah.
Well yesterday
I received the
Freedom Wars
Japanese like strategy guide
in the mail
which is 500 pages long
and it's gone.
I'm looking through it
I'm like this is the best
this
like where it's like
where do I get this material
here
oh it's in this mission.
Perfect.
That reminds me
that I just talked about
how the Dark Souls one
guide is not
like useful
but
Epic Name Bro
wrote
the Dark Souls 2 guide
and that thing
kicks ass
because there's
tons of shit
in that guide
that is not in the game
because he was like
so what's the deal
with this character?
Like Nashandra?
What's the deal
with Nashandra?
And the devs just
told him
and then he
wrote it in the guide
and that's where
most of that
comes from.
Oh, lore stuff.
Yeah.
Oh wow.
Like
you can't get
all Dark Souls 2
story without the guide
in the game
and that's fine
because the story doesn't
need to be understood.
I was going to say
the Demon's Souls strategy
guide is also really
really good.
I heard that's super rare
like I've looked at it.
Well it comes with
the limited edition.
So yes.
I can lend you one.
You lend it to me
and then I'll just keep it.
No.
You said you had three?
I do have three.
Lend me one for money
infinitely.
I'll give it back to you
when I'm dead
and maybe even then not.
Yeah.
But I might be like
on top of it dead
and it might be smeared.
They might have to be
the centipedes will carry
back to you.
The book will be smeared.
Oh thank you centipedes.
How centipedes are really smart?
Yeah.
They're really
you know they run
at like three meters per
second.
No.
That's why they're so scary
because when you see them
on the floor
you go
and then they're gone
underneath your furniture.
Yeah.
So the only way to get them
is to spray
all the corners
and that'll
that'll like
let them down
and then you just have to
watch your floor
for hours
you know
with your shoe
ready
and if you miss it
then they know.
You know those like
sticky bug traps?
Once I have all over
my apartment
if it goes on one of those
it'll pull its legs off
and regrow them.
Yeah.
It'll just
it'll just fucking
cruise on
and what an awesome
apartment.
They're awesome.
It won't actually kill
the insect.
But it will
give him
one of my neighbors
a year and a half ago
and they're really
sticking about the thing.
I know he's thinking
really bad
pharaoh and problem
and as a result
the entire floor
got ant spawned
or whatever
and they put
you know they put the little
sticky things
and they put the traps
and they put it everywhere
and then when they came back
to check on it
like six months later
like yeah
you got no ants
like what should I do
with the traps?
You're like
well if you don't like
them
you can get rid of them
but if you just
leave them there
they'll just work forever
so that
they'll look
but if you look in my bathroom
at every point in my house
all that
bug glue
and traps
are
they are never
going to move
ever
I'm sure there are like
a bunch of dead bugs
on the
like
sides of my apartment
but what are you
trying to get in
fuck them
yeah
Well he's thinking
about that ad
where will pharaohs
going these
these new bug
bug traps
what happens
is that pincers grab
each of the bugs legs
and pull them off
and he is held
tight by an adhesive
then
burning cotton balls
are inserted in
all of its orifices
while a small
piece of food
is dangled
just out of reach
true
this won't
actually kill the bug
why
but it won't
get in place
I think
it will go back
until it's
right where
it's
in hold
of course it is
yeah
hot pincers
then burn
his reproductive organ
I don't remember
but that's yeah
that is it
so yeah
in the end
strategy guides
yeah
why not
they're fun
we've got one
from
Frack Truck
and he wants to know
if we've
ever thought about
non t-shirt
merch ideas
there's some stickers
he said
I'd buy the hell
out of
an order of the storm
viewers patch
that sounds really cool
okay
because like
here are some stickers
since never
yeah
no you've been asking us
and then
when we talk
to the people
that we actually talk to
we just ignore
that
we're working on a
a pat button mouse pad
there you go
um
so you get the cheeks
to hold up your
wrists
yeah
I'm in talks with people
for the woolly hat
that has the dreads
and your boot tan on it
and
if you just go to any
weed storm
just
just get back there
no
say hi to woolly
behind the counter
yeah
there's
all weed stores
all of them
all weed stores
are staffed by woolly
there's the posters
and the stickers
but we've talked to
the shark robot guys
here and there
and they have some
interesting ideas
they have some really cool
like smash brothers
gold pins
for like different
logos and stuff
we were thinking
about stuff like that
trying to get
you think we can join
pity arcade
maybe
it would be nice
if we could do a car
it would be nice
yeah
the thing with new merch
is that they have to
figure out that
even the way
the merch is
like if it's a new thing
like a book or something
they have to make sure
that it sells before
there's a lot of back end
there's a lot of back end
but yeah hopefully
like in the future
we'll have some different stuff
we plan on selling merch
until we die
yeah pretty much
so there's plenty
of time
for expansion
we got one kind of
not until I die
by the way
until we die
don't actually worry
about it
it's been two weeks
from now
I've at least
got another year
yeah at least
a year
you're young
this job is killing you
but you're young
he's working nine to five
we got an appropriate one
from
no we don't
Matthew
who wants to know
Matt are you
emailing podcasts again
the question
would be a lot
really
I'm really tempted
I'll be honest
I'm really tempted
to like make
a bunch of fake
but then you have to
you have to bet that
Matt will just waste your time
no
it'll waste your time too
no
no no
it doesn't cancel out
it's in your favor
he's doing this
because though your time is
gonna kick out
Matt has a ton of time
on his head
because I'm gonna
kick out of it sitting there
like I bet
well he's gonna get super mad
when he reads this
then he has to
she was to read it
it's a
fucking crap show
what's the question
dude people are doing
the work for you
I know
what's the question
he wants to know
what the best activities
to do during a
snowstorm are
because he enjoys
reading manga with a cup of
cocoa
sledding
fucking sledding
get your sled out
and go
like hit the street
there was that video
of that guy
that was snowboarding
down one of our streets
that was frozen
over there
that shit's amazing
that was really sick
I used to live
down near Atwater
and like
in the back
kind of
there's some streets
that are less
filled with people
and you can get some
really good sledding
jolly's over there
like
this is a
serious answer
but this is as close
as I'm gonna get
to talk about this
but
it's very rare
and I remember
you told me once
about a day
that
you were testing
a driving game
and you
you told me
that you were testing
dirt
I was playing dirt
and you had tested it
under the ideal conditions
it was so beautiful
it's like
you had a nice come
it was a Sunday morning
we all got up
because we had to
start early
we had to do a hundred
man test on it
and we got up
and we went in
at like
like seven
or so
like really early crack
of dawn
the weather was perfect
we got the coffee
I was up
and alerting
it was just
the lights were low
in the office
and everyone was relaxed
and we just
it was the best
day of testing
I had a similar
thing this morning
when I
woke up at
nine
which is
really early for me
and
popped in
the VPN thing
for Dragon Age
and the very first level
in Dragon Age
is the exact
weather we have today
and
and it starts
at the same time
of day
that I started the game
and
you know what
that perfect
like I have a nice
big open window
and the light
like the light
hitting the snow outside
lights my room
yeah
right it lights
my apartment
and that hit me
and it was nice
early and I had this
nice cup of coffee
and I was like
relaxed
dude that
is so rare
that your settings match
yeah yeah yeah
and
if you have a winter game
like there's a lot of time
like late at night
like go play Metal Gear Solid 1
exactly
right
that's what I was thinking of
it fits
it's just like
yeah
and it's always been Super Mario Bros. 3
where I just want to play that
with hot chocolate
and a robe
and just like
try and relive that
childhood Christmas
of all those
that time
well I was going to say
ever since Galaxy comes out
it's been Galaxy
I've been going to
because Galaxy is amazing
maybe I'm going to try Galaxy 2
this year for that
for me
for me it's like
whenever the
yeah for me
the way I
like calm down
and get like those feelings out
is whenever
that happens
I do two activities at once
yeah
I find
like
don't play a game that's going to be
I don't play a game
that's going to be like
fully engaging
I want to play something
that's like less engaging
and listen to
an album
or a podcast
or an audio book
at the same time
like I find that
way more soothing
try and recreate
the snow day
exactly
by
hey it's your day off
just turn all of it off
that's the most important thing
yeah
like I set an alarm
for when I had to come here
but aside from that
this phone
was going to tell me nothing
even if like
oh your building's on fire
no
I don't care
I'll smell the smoke
like my PC
was like quiet
I didn't have any
like programs around
like just
cut yourself off
the weather did
have the job for you
so in summary
when it's snowing
don't go outside
rely on technology
and ignore it
there you go
look out the window
and be like
yeah
I'm doing this
make sure to get your cocoa
before it starts snowing though
or you're fucked
you'll never get that shit
throw out the cocoa
yeah that was the only part
of my morning that I kind of
fucked up
I had to walk out to Tim's
to get the coffee
what are you going to do
right and
remember I stormed 98
yeah
do you remember
how valuable
handheld console
fucking time was
I didn't have one back then
oh you did
oh my god
dude
I read goose bump books
the entire time
I was reading
the reel of time
by candlelight
yeah
and that's kind of awesome
no that's pretty sick
that's pretty sick
and we
of course a lottery
everyone did a lot of reading
because no electricity across
the entire city
for weeks
but
we had a wood burning stove
but like
what you're going to call it
if you had a game boy
and it wasn't dead
yeah
oh my god
you rationed out the battery life
on that thing
I had
game boy and battery
so it's fine
I was coasting
we just
but I'll be real
I was making snowmen
and like
just being so happy
I didn't have to go to my grade one
classes
well yeah
but
it was great
that was great
for the first
four days
I can't remember most of it
and then
there was the other week and a half
and then it hit the point
where your dad's like
don't go outside
the trees
are attacking people
their people are dying
because they're getting
crushed by ice
it really depended on
where you live
like you lived on a farm
I lived in the country
where there are lots of trees
around
or was it like a field
well
I was at my mom's place
most of the time
so it was just like a big opening
and then fucking trees
surrounded me
so
the burbs
kind of protected
every single person
had a very large tree
in their front yard
you were back in Chattagé
you remember it
and that meant
that every street
was a death trap
because they were all
coming down randomly
there was a guy
two streets over
that had his house
cut in half
by the tree
that fell the wrong way
into his home
sliced right down
I believe it man
you can go see the pictures
of the super twisted
electric towers
that were just contorting
onto themselves
like they were made out of
aluminum foil
silent hill shit
it was really fucked up
but I just remember
rationing out that battery
because we weren't getting
more batteries
anyway
you could get more batteries
you enjoyed
if you wanted to go down
the Canadian Tire
and fight someone for them
for the $35 batteries
those fucking vultures
dude those
or get on the bus
the death bus
my favorite part of that
because I look back
at hindsight
is when
okay
there's the people
in my neighborhood
that stayed
because we had wood burning stoves
in our basements
so we could do it
you could just camp
in your basement
but
we had
if anybody knows this
we had three courts of wood
for the whole
for the winter
which is fine
when you have electricity
we blew through that
in like nine days
yeah easy
and then
the dad's like
okay well we gotta go get
more wood
or leave the province
and
okay
where do we go
get wood dad
and I'm like how
98 I must have been
like 10 to 13
you know around that
and
okay
the cops
have set up
a wood drive
and it's
a bunch of cops
ready to go
like
terrified
clearly afraid
as you drive up
and the cops
will help you put
some wood in your trunk
yeah
and they were scared
because they were
terrified
the dudes were just
no I need all this wood
yeah yeah yeah
you need it
like
and
the worst part
about the ice storm
is that
our neighbors
across the
street
left
within three days
they couldn't
hack it
they were babies
they got power
five days in
we were out
for 17
and we could see
the lights on
across the streets
oh man
yeah I know
they couldn't
hack it
but they had power
no they left
and then their power
came back
like within a day
yeah yeah yeah
because
they were
on one of the good
circuits
yeah we
we went
we went for a good
week and a bit
just with nothing
and then
we had
a cousin
who had power
so we went there
god damn shower
and then
they lost their power
shit
and then we all
went to the next person's
and we just fucking
ping-ponged
yeah
until it all came back
yeah
man
ice storm 98
good times
good experience
if you weren't mauled
by a tree
yeah that's true
yeah
well no
none of that happened
people were just scared
that it would happen
but none of it
actually
actually pan out that much
but just
but like
I think the ice storm
resulted in like
four total fatalities
uh actually
well there
one tree
fell
one tree with an icicle
fell on one woman
yeah and killed her
and all the other fatalities
were old people
that were like
you have to leave
your house
and they just
died on the way out
there was like
no my home
it was rough
it was rough
uh
we got one coming in from
Phil
and
one glass
Jesus Christ
has there ever been a game
where you nearly quit playing
but you didn't
and then you went on to
really love it
that's cool
recently there was natural doctrine
which I nearly quit playing
and then I did
um
but
but
no
where you see
you tap
you're about to tap out
and then you just go
you know
uh like
I
I'm either going to
give up
or I'm not
like
I've never
turned back
from the urge
to give up
because once I've
stopped having fun
with something
like maybe I'll play
for 20 more minutes
and it's never
become
it's never
pulled me back
you know
like that point
where I'm actually
ready to go
fuck
right
nothing's ever been
good enough
to pull me back
feeling
once I've gotten there
the closest one
I can think of
is Nier
which
I don't think anyone here
has played
but early in the game
there's a
there's a fishing minigame
that is not
it's not super clear
and like
some reviewers
actually
just didn't even get
past it
and got completely
stuck at the fishing
and a lot of people
were on the internet
like how the fuck
do you do the fishing
and um
I remember
me at the fishing
I was like
this isn't fun
I had a review
where he's like
this fucking fishing
bullshit
stopped my review
here's the review
it's because he
and I
did the same thing
where the guy teaches you
to fish
and you fish right there
and you can't catch
a fucking fish
because these fish
are like
strongman fish
and you're actually
supposed to go to the beach
over there
and fish over there
where there's
all the weak
prissy fish
but there's no way
like
most people didn't
catch that
and like
what are the games
I've ever played
I need to change
what I said
because I'm
completely wrong
there is one game
and that game
is demon souls
I remember
you stopped that
and you were like
this is garbage
I started that game
because dark souls
was coming out
and a friend of mine
was ranting and raving
about how amazing
demon souls was
and I said
okay
and I picked it up
and I hated it
I fucking
hated it
and I just
put it down
immediately
I hated it
put it back down
I'm surprised
picked it up
like a month before
or two months before
dark souls came out
and I was like
okay
and I hated it
and I hated it
and then I beat
the tower of Latria
and what is the best game
I've ever played in my life
okay
and like
I had to turn that corner
death is brutal
man
death is not for babies
it's tough
like
I don't know
I enjoyed that one
on a common day
from day one
you're lucky then
because I had to
no it's like
it's not
like I totally get you
I can't blame you at all
I'm having a hard time
thinking of one
I must have
I have kind of got one
but it's not like
I'm like
oh that was great
I'm glad I finished it
but it certainly ended
on a stronger point
I know like
people might scoff
but like
Dante's Inferno
was a thing
where I kept going through it
because it's like
I always want to see
a cool thing
because that really creepy
concept artist
worked on it
so there are some bosses
that I always want to see
and there is this one
layer of hell
towards the end
not the last one
because the last one was cool
that's when I'm glad I saw it
finally
there's the one where it was like
all it was was combat challenges
and you're on these three platforms
and the woman would be yelling at you
about doing something
and I'm like
what does this have to do
this layer of hell
it makes no sense
it was like
that's treachery
yeah
it's the combat challenge
before Pride
that sounds like bullfight
yeah
and Pride's the final level
but it's really just a boss fight
and but
when you finish the game
and the fight with Satan is cool
I guess
and he looks awesome
Satan's got a huge dick
yeah it's a big gold dick
and it's physics based
yeah
like
the giant creature
no man is fighting you
and his huge
flopping dick
is just
flying all over the place
nice
it's just a plague
viciously installing the game
anyway
the PSP version of those animations
are canned
damn
and the last cutscene was really cool
and I was like
oh well
I'm glad I kind of stuck through
just to see this
I was
like Dante's Inferno kind of sucks
but I still wanted to see
Dante's Purgatorio
and Dante's Paradiso
yeah
and which the ending hints at
because the ending of Paradiso
is awesome
because it's a god damn circle
it's a circle
it's awesome
but we're never going to see it
also Purgatorio
much more interesting
than
than Inferno
the closest thing I could think of
is Namco X Capcom
you didn't beat it
no that's the thing
and that's what I was going to get to
is like
not the new one
not cross boring
no the original
Namco X Capcom
the original cross boring
where I'm going through it
and I'm soldiering on
I'm just giving me something
give me fucking something
and then you get Guy in Captain Commando
and fucking
you know
they all just show up
and it was another 10 hours
and you're like
yeah
and then you keep going
and you know
and you're like fucking Dig Dug Guy
yeah
and then mega
no no
I played that game for like 35 hours
didn't see Mega Man
exactly
and then you know
like it keeps you going
because you get that boost
around mission 25
26
that was cross boring's problem
it gave you too many
cool people right away
and then
you have nothing
nothing for so long
that game is such a shame
because boy is it
it managed to make the
like less cool characters
like Jill and Chris
feel really cool
yeah
but then it was just like
oh but have zero
and have everyone
right now
and and like
well
you just burn out
so fast
the moment I knew something was off with that
was when it was like
it wasn't even mission 10 yet
and you had that thing happen where
the mission starts up
and all of your awesome
units spawn in like
boom boom boom boom boom
boom boom
because right there
because that's that
moment is supposed to be
like the end of a
super robot wars game
where you've got the
full fucking team
as far as we know
yeah and then
and then you and you get
like you get everyone
showing up going like
yeah I'm here to fight too
and that was like
barely seven or eight missions in
and they're doing that already
you've got one
you're pulling your one
new character or team
every mission
and that
and that meant that
those missions would stay
smaller
for longer
instead of the
like the
the the
oh god the
sacra wars level
was the one
where I just went
oh my god
this is so long
it's like the ninth level
in the game
and it took me like
90 minutes
and there's like
40 levels
50 levels
like that game
yeah
stretch out your load
yeah
stretch it out
make it stringy
and then
stretch it out
stretch it all over
it got to the place
that Namco X Capcom
got to
at mission 40
like
at mission like
10
yeah
and it was just like
this is going to be ugly
this is going to be bad
just tap out
there's no one left
and these battles take
fucking forever
and you can lose the battle
20 minutes in
but not know it
until 60 minutes in
yeah
I'll tell you what though
King teamed up with Felicia
right
that's awesome
and they're both big fans
of Hagar
yeah that
will keep your spirits
going for a while
tell you what
synergy
let's take one from Connor
Connor you're boring
Connor says
I have a drug problem
crack isn't doing it
for me anymore
and I find myself in need
of something stronger
should I get into persona
dude
it gives you that feeling
right
it's just that
I need
like
I remember
going to
work
and just being like
I need friends
dude
Yosuke
is hanging out
at the Junes
right now
and
I need
like
fuck
like it was
it's that
point in my life
where nothing
was going on
yep
right
and it was like
I came home
took my pants
off
switched right into the
pajamas
grab the wig
grab
grab
grab
grab the PS2 controller
and
ignore my own
damn life
because
yeah
no yes
yes you should
one of those other
crack games
like you guys are on about the
master hunter
or in the
hunting game
right
yeah
that's slow release drugs
whereas persona
here's all the drugs right now
like
I mean getting into persona now
like
there's no better time
like persona queues coming out
in like a day
if you like
like
no I'm saying
if you like
get your anodyssey
like
Vita TV cost 100 bucks
well and I was also going to
say in like
dancing all night
next year so there's
persona stuff going on
yeah but it's like
if you're like
I've been waiting
because I don't want to
just get a Vita
for persona for golden
yeah it's like
it's now at the point
where the
dumb purchase
for the one game
makes sense
is the lowest price
like ever
it's also
but it's the one game
but also persona
three but also dancing
also there
you know like
one and two and two two
yeah
and if you like persona
you'll sure love mine
zero
oh
no Liam no
I remember you being like
yeah this game looks good
and then like
the instant you touched it
you were just like
I
I started playing it
and I was like
oh this is bad
and like
10
hours in
I was like
okay this really isn't that bad
and then it ends on a
brutal cliffhanger
and
wait for mine one
and who knows
if that's gonna
I do it's not
but it's probably not
yeah
but like
that game was actually
alright after the
terrible first hour
worse than the answer
no
and the answer is an expansion
the answer is like
okay
mine zero is its own thing
so like
actually the combat
is really like
unique and different
from persona
here's a pro tip
for anyone getting into
persona
the answer is not worth it
like
I told that
to Willy
and you had the
correct response
which was
maybe
but I need to know
for myself
fine
right
but it's not worth it
it is
it's not
because not only is the game
not
not fun
but the
answer
that you get
the actual
like
answer to the question
is not worth it
and yeah
yeah
it's better unanswered
and
we're gonna take one
from
try
who says
try
advice to
to try city or
to try heart
no
try is in like
Vietnamese
oh like that
I didn't even know that
remember
I just know that
there's a
there's a point where
they tried doing that
with triple H
they tried changing his
name to try
ugh
ugh
yeah
for
they said
remember there was a
couple of raws
where they tried that
they said
yeah
they tried it
they wanted another name
instead of the game
whatever and then it goes
try
just go with
just go and jump
all the Vic
Vic
no go for
for uh
what was this dumb stupid name
in WCW
nose face
oh Jesus
oh fuck
it's gone
oh terrorizing
terrorizing
okay so
advice to convince my parents
oh
about
my parents were born in the 50s
they were the generation
who grew up with only movies
and classical music
I love JRPGs
they hate me
playing in my room
they think I should go to
a movie theater
or watch some movies
for entertainment
I try to convince them
that games are the same art form
and they
but they never listen to me
they believe video games
will ruin my life
do you have anything
that can help convince them
to accept video games
no
they're both old people
you know what
there's not much to do
you are kind of
you leaving the house
that is what will convince them
you can get them to play heavy rain
I was gonna say
you can do that
and it might work for a second
and they might be like
this is the worst written movie
I had
it was not
it was a lot of worse
it was not until I
fucking
got into this job
that my parents
changed their mind about video games
I had to god damn
get a job playing video games
before my parents were like
yeah okay video games
like maybe just
maybe just wait for
the Game of Thrones game to come out
and like
if they're fans of that
maybe that'll be a thing
a really cinematic game
no
but it's a rough fucking thing
play D4 in front of them
their minds will be blown
yeah I think you're screwed
I honestly
I can't think of a good answer
put up with it
I vividly remember
Pat you're not gonna stay inside the house
all summer
you're gonna go out
play baseball
I played baseball
when I was a kid
I'm like mom
I go to a fucking baseball field
there's no like
what the fuck
am I supposed to do
everyone's being cool
playing video games
exactly
you're super
you go to artsy answers
like Shadow of the Colossus
or like Journey
that's not gonna work
it's not gonna work on old people
they'll be even more confusing
like this is pointless
you gotta show them the good stuff
like Castlevania
yeah
no that's not
vanguard princess
stop talking about vanguard
if you show your parents
monster mon peace
they will certainly understand your fight
or they will walk you out
okay here's what you do
here's what you do
doki doki manjo shippen
that'll do it
your parents are like bugging you
and they're like
you know they're gonna be like
they're gonna come into your room
and they're gonna see your playing persona
and you've got your
and they're gonna be like
ugh these fucking kids
so next time your mom knocks on your door
and you're playing games
you don't wanna take shit
just be
mom I'm jerking off
come on
there you go
I'm jerking off all over here
that being said
the problem here is
not even that bad
in the sense that your parents
want you to go watch movies
yeah
these are awesome too
yeah
it's not that big of a deal
but I know here's the trick
play a lot of Metal Gear
and then if they walk in
they'll be like
oh you're watching a movie
yeah
I'm thinking about like
like old Asian parents
though in this sort of
typical way
oh you're double screwed
man
they're not gonna change
try isn't it
we're being like
we're being super
super stereotypical
so
yeah you're probably fucked
mm
uh
brrr
yeah
sorry
on that note
we started and ended this
podcast with racism
yep
we're doing good
it's a
you might say it's an
Uroboros of races
not bad
the
seriously they'll try
you're fucked
yeah
just one last little bit
you guys see the screenshots
of Game of Thrones
yeah I did
looks really good
those actual pictures
are really fucked
like the compression
is weird
of course
weird bits going on
the graphical quality
it's a mix of
Game of Thrones
and Telltale
yeah
it looks like
that is the Telltale
version of Tyrion
yep
even Cersei
makes me not want
to hit her for one second
just for the one
and you know
like it's nice to see
like as we mentioned
before like
they have
the recognizable
faces in there
because
HBO's Game of Thrones
you know
they're totally
making sure that
you have
also that like
saw
those screenshots
saw like a lot of like
worries
because like right away
the first screenshot
I saw is here's Tyrion
yes
you will encounter
and hang out with Tyrion
at some point
good enough for me
I'm on board
here's Cersei
and here's Marjorie
and I think that was it
no no no
we saw
someone else
there we saw
the bastard of Bolton
as well
so
those voice actors
ain't coming back
actors
yeah exactly
hmm
hello
you need to get
the guardian
oh I'm Tyrion
I could tell you
about the traveler's
greatest moments
like no here
like this
I could tell you about
all the awesome
shit you could get
but I won't
actual dinklage
and like it's clear
that man's no voice actor
that man is an actor
yeah
well he could
like they got
fucking
Lena
a head lead to do
the fucking
voice game that we played
for her small part
they did
actually
I think HBO
you know what
let me backtrack
that's not fair to dinklage
because they also got
the guy who plays
Cedric Daniels in the wire
in Destiny
and he has the exact
same fucking problem
they just told them
to not act
the voice direction
is just garbage
in that fucking
they said
we want you to be
a monotone robot
yeah
and he nailed it
nailed it
he acted
and then they're like
no you need to
dial that down
you'd be like
yeah right
like we want you
he has
like four lines
in the entire game
and they're terrible
we want you to do these lines
as if you just
woken from a coma
you're kinda still
half in it as well
so I'm just gonna
go with that
and that just makes me think
of
something that people
will find that soon enough
but
voice acting robots
that actually
do a really good job
are in
something that
Liam and I took a look at
not too long ago
yes they absolutely are
people will find that
about that soon enough
cause you can do
good robot voice acting
voice acting
you mean
that's an Amy Koof
no
we'll bleed right into the watch
with this I guess
she's a robot
voice acting robots
helping all their clients
wearing tiny
mini skirts
and being self-reliant
like that just
totally works
they're not allowed to be
self-reliant
I was gonna say
yeah
but when they can be
they'll be amazing
sure they'll be
what do we watch them
I'm gonna
I'm gonna finish
Dragonfall
and
Dragon Age
I'm gonna finish
Dragonfall
and there's no way
I'm gonna finish
Dragon Age
apparently that game's like
120 hours old
but that's like
two pat days
no
I blew three weeks
on Skyrim
and those were
dedicated
like
weeks
so is anyone
picking anything up
on this November
the 18th MTA
wallet day
I'm getting
GTA V also
okay
I'm likely gonna get
WWE 2K15
to laugh
and laugh
and laugh at it
that's what you do
with those games
yeah
it's a real shame
but
yeah
Project Diva F-Seconds
coming out
so I'm gonna pick that up
so I can
laugh
and laugh
I already
played the
Japanese release
but I do
wanna support it
and like
I'm feeling a bit of
franchise fatigue
from it
so you're just gonna
pick it up
and be like
and I was like
I
I don't wanna take a minute
and it's been eight months
so maybe
maybe
this will make me
wanna get into it
but like
for anyone
saying I'm feeling
why are you feeling
franchise fatigue
it's cause I've been playing them
for like six years
ever since they
like
yeah he's not one of
you new school
hop on the new bandwagon
with the vocal voice
I wasn't gonna say that
he's one of these fucking
OG
back when she was
just a
vocal track
and a video editor
that's true
super space
in the database
wow
wow
wow
black rock shooter
black rock shooter
that's always funny
why are you making fun
of that song
it's fine
I'm going to
continue to
follow
my
what am I like about
black things
whee
I'm gonna continue
to
decipher
the code
that is
windows eight
its called
I got my new
I got my new
little tower
and it has windows 8 on it
is it 8 or 8.1
I assume
is there a god damn
start menu
no
then upgrade to 8.1
it's free
8.1 is
just basically service pack
yes sure
SP1
get that
I'm
wrapping my head around it
and like
the
revulsion I had
upon the first time
I used windows 8
I've gotten past that phase
would you say it's
subsiding
or you just got past it
I got past it
okay
but there
and it does work
but there is some
other garbage
yeah
some hidden garbage
I got windows 7
and honestly
I'm really interested
in to see
how far I can go
yeah
that's usually what I do
I like I rocked
XP for as long as
they would let me
even if I get new
PCs
and they're like
we don't even do
windows 7 anymore
which isn't going to happen
because I get my PCs
from NCIX
and they always do that shit
I still got my
fucking windows 7
going anyway
I can keep that shit
going forever
and they've already said
that security updates
for 7
are going to continue
until 2020
feature updates
are going to stop
this January
but security updates
are going to continue
you can push your windows 7
install until 2020
yeah
that's something
and I'm going to
maybe
well I mean windows 9
and then you can
I mean windows 10
yes
I'm sorry
that's what I meant
you're sorry
how did you forget
that
if they had no reason
to upgrade from windows 6
to windows 10
and the whole
I use on 10 device
that would have been fine
but the fact that
they internally
called it windows 9
for years
and then
it's just
one
it's the
it's the most
confusing thing ever
everyone
in every industry
doesn't know
how to name
anything anymore
nothing has a good name
nothing
good day sir
all right
kind of awesome
yeah
that was all right
I'm still mad
about the new 3DS
that's
yeah that one's bad
like that
like that one
just opened
the floodgates of my brain
where they all
all the bad names connected
and I just
I can't
I can't
it's getting messy
it's getting messy
is anyone
picking up dog's
tomorrow
so I'm going to
finish off the comeback
I'm going to
keep laughing
you know the comeback's
coming back right
the comeback is coming back
we come back
the back down
it's like the easiest
title to write
for your article ever
and like
now that I know
and care
I'm really glad it is
yeah
it's a good show
just glance down
this right now
what's
what's being said right there
why what's happening
oh my god
Liam put it in
Jojo no Kimmy
on that bull can
all star battle too
what
Playsia made a listing
for it
nobody knows
be the thing
that could be a thing
it could be a thing
just add
every more character
hey do you guys
want a developer
do you guys
want speed wagon
playable
more money
I could always
go for more money
so I can understand
when people also
want more money
it's the exact same game
but there's a few more
moves on the Jojo Leon
part
and one more
speed wagon please
Jojo lion
whatever
speed wagon
playable
I will double
like that's it
oh my god
that's
that'd be tough
that'd be tough
no way
I'm thinking of a different guy
you're thinking of a different guy
but anyway
put in that
limp biscuit guy
put in
put in
fucking
fry
yeah limp biscuit
exactly
what's coming up
what's coming up
we got more evil within
obviously
we got more
Cora
more Cora
we got more dark souls
of which by the way
will we
the parts you uploaded
lately
they're rough
they're rough
they're real like
shocking turnaround
I'm reading the comments
of people like
dude just go back to the old equipment
yeah
and it's like
no
just one or two episodes more
and that'll go away
just wait
I promise
that's the advantage of streaming
over
you know
you can't tell people
that beforehand
that reminds me
last night I watched
that guys
hour run
of beating dark souls
with no
hacks
or any
oh yeah
that's
you look at it
your eyes open up
and you go
that's fucking impressive
yeah
yeah
Cora's ending
yeah Cora's like
not only continuing
but already over
so we're starting a new thing
I don't want to talk about that
for a second
is that going to be up
yeah it'll be up
immediately following
exactly
me and woolly are doing a fall
did
a full LP of the fall
which was again
but it's winter
I know
that's confusing
it was poor timing
but we sat down
to do a one-off
and half an hour in
we were like
should we do the full LP
this is really good
this is really good
so it turned into a full LP
and
I'm just going to put out
a little PSA here
which we spoke about
we were really happy
with that LP
the fall
it turned out really
really well
from no expectations
to
this is excellent
we think it's really good
that said
the audio quality
unfortunately takes a dip
because in our
second recording session
the recording program
accidentally opted to use
a laptop's internal microphone
again
again
this is happening
you think I'm happy with this
I'm not happy with this
the only person it
hasn't happened to
is me
because I don't have a laptop
but I'll admit that
like
from the way this bug
works
I would have totally
done it once
yeah
and
so people at home
who have
want to make videos
tear that internal microphone
out of your laptop
or at the very least
disable it
like kill it
just
yeah
PSA
if you can't deal with that
maybe you shouldn't
make sure
start it
make sure you put an annotation
in those
no the annotation is going to be there
let everyone know
so it's going to be episodes
episodes five and six
and final
which are going to be like
double or triple like
five and six are going to have
a hit on the audio quality
because that
unfortunately you know
episodes one and four
are fine
that being said though
the events
and the escalation of the game
are fine
awesome
and like I encourage everyone
to check that out
I'll download that
I downloaded Tengabi
like I mentioned before
don't confuse it for
the other spaceman
visor game
the swaper
it's not that
this is the different
it's in the same genre
of lost mute
spaceman
adventure space
lost mute
spaceman
adventure time
space
exactly
it's in the same
genre
it's very different
it should
that game is really good
but yeah
that LP is happening
also this week
crime or
time
something like that
something like that
confirmed
yeah that's correct
all right
you know you get a bit
more subtle with that
about like
we might steal clocks on video
no there's no time to be subtle
because that's a crime about time
also I have no idea
what we're going to be playing
for fisticuffs this week
man
I have no clue either
it's just up in the air
yeah I don't know
we've got to figure something out
thinking about vanguard princess
damn it stop talking about vanguard
that's it
it's not smash 4
is it
is it dengue
dengeki bunko fighting climax
yeah
who knows
every single job I wanted to
I'm going to tell everyone this much
because
are they going to skip melee
are they going to skip brawl
what are they going to
smash 4
we want to unlock everybody first
we were going to do smash 4 on Friday
and then you were like
wait a second
and have all the characters on Friday
so we're not going to do it the same day
because then that'll suck
if we don't have everybody
we wanted to though
but that just wasn't a possibility
so
that'll be
that'll be
in the mysterious far off future
I don't know when that's going to happen
it could be
it could be on Sunday
could be on Sunday
pro tip it's smash 4
and we're
we're in the third one this week
so
you could work that out
I don't understand what you're trying to say
I don't I don't
it's not a simple clue
uh
this is
this is not a simple
I don't know
this is not a baby da Vinci code
I don't know what you're putting down
because I'm not picking it up
it's just
if you think long and hard about it
you might get it by next year
Liam is flying overhead
sorry
is this about Anaconda Maltlicker
uh
that's
that's the third step of the mystery
can we end this thing already
yeah
bye bye
