I think you're entitled to something good if you spend your money on it
It should be extremely smelly and sticky and shit and the best at what it is
I think you deserve something good if you're not entitled to it quite for the
dictionary definitions here right like there's there's a whole industry of
people that review these things before they come out and then they're trying
to give you an informed decision whether to spend your hard-earned money on that
quite frankly I would rather people complain about I'd rather people
complain about the quality of like writing and elements in a game being
shit than complain about like oh like this this wasn't represented properly
or this well it's sort of trying to find a controversy based on well what the
content is I'd rather people straight up say that content was poorly done that's
that's two different things right that's viewing something like that's the
argument that Liam and I have all the time that's where you're looking at it
either as a work which is what you're talking about you wanted them to complain
about the quality of the work yeah right and then there's my relatively
prevailing point of view that I usually end up it's like as a product of like
you showed me this thing like you showed me a hammer that was 12 inches long and
made out of this and then when I got the hammer was made out of fucking plastic
and there's the hammer nails for shit and then the head popped off right what
the fuck I think both of those because the carpet was all I think both of those
have like extreme like value but like yeah I agree with you but only when the
first one isn't present yeah right like if the if the if there's a scandal over
like this isn't what you'd said it was gonna be then you can't even complain
about the writing or the the character or whatever it's but it's just it's just
it's I don't know there's something to get that version of aliens colonial
Marines the one you show and I think Mass Effect 3 is probably the best
example because it was both it was you told us that the third game in this ten
years ago you told us that the third game in the series was gonna be like this
and it's not and it's not because the writing is terrible and the guy like but
that and I'm just saying when you compare that to like still not entitled
like in entitlement is just the wrong word it's just when they were titled if
you are if you are in a rich family and the money is supposed to come to you
eventually no doesn't where the fuck's the money at an entitlement is when you
win in court and you get your kid 12 out of 14 days that's an entitlement it is
mandated and required that those be upheld an entitlement is when you know
you put the money down for a car okay yeah no he's right he's right yeah I
they just clicked in my head instead what we should say is that people deserve
better it's kind of like I said it's funny and a little bit refreshing when
people get together to fight for something and it's not like a cause beyond
just yeah that was shit and I supposed to be good and I'm
flip the fuck I'm flipping on this where it turns into a big thing just a
controversy which like that was why was that shit you know it's so it was so
shit perfectly and most of the time nowadays you can usually see why it was
shit and it's like depressing yeah it's like why why did AC Unity come out so
buggy because because they rushed it because they they fucking rushed it
because they want to get one out a year I got two out this year
welcome to 68 oh that was a stealth recording that was your probably
sneakiest one ever I saw him do it though we all knew we all know I didn't see you
have to wait for me to start getting engaged in the conversation before you
know yeah well he raises his voice it's just like the shirts but that being
said I'm like sick John's I'm feeling a bit under the weather today oh no I'm
disappointed that I'm sitting the closest to you now no it's not that type
of like contagion you're just like law yeah a lot of law so pumpkin spice latte
had to get it you're not a girl so you're not allowed pumpkin spice
dude I don't know how long hair it's a pumpkin flavoring is delicious plain
old coffee oh yeah no we're rolling in and I roll in roll in roll I just the
energy level what do you want me to tell you man like it's gonna it's good it was
bound to fall on a Monday at some point I'm feeling good yeah sounds like
somebody's got a case of the Monday I'm not gonna do it for you do it to yourself
we have the best like compared to you know nine to five like coffee guys our
Mondays are much improved certainly we need that poster doing this podcast
so I hate it to talk about my three hours tell us about the Conrad you know
what I'll get I'll get there we'll get there but I wanted to talk to you
but about something specifically I watched Sin City to kill for oh wow you
had a breath intake drop the news now we saw that it fucking bombs super bad
critically as well right yeah 46% so more or less deservedly so out of the
three stories one is worth watching but guess what it's been so long since the
first movie it's like it has no pull the magic like the continuity is kind of a
bit lost and it's really like I was watching my fiance and she watched the
first one but when it came out she's like wait why is his face I'm like
Dwight oh no that's the books man that's the books but Dwight's face is the
books but the first part yeah of the first movie with Dwight is a sequel to
this yes it is that's why it's confusing with Dwight's face exactly okay
show edit and that that's the reading order of the books he's straight up Dwight
you the first story with Dwight in it is the one you see in the in the first
movie and then in this the second book by Clive Owen there yeah and in second
book that comes out he's a completely different person in terms of his the way
he looks something happens in which he has to undergo okay so something constructive
surgery but that was like 10 years ago now 2005 how is JGL he's fine but his
story is just lame and I don't really the the the fucking shit bomb is Nancy
Jessica Alba's story which was created for the movie and it fucking shows it's
that bad it's that bad plus she's in everything in every scene they go to
that bar and she's always doing her PG-13 well it's her job I mean well no her
job is to take clothes off no her job is to titillate Frank Miller and Robert
Rodriguez her story is so bad like it goes no again it goes nowhere and it's
got the blimpest ending ever where I was just like that can't be it then the
logo just says Sin City and I went are they fucking serious are they fuck are
they using cell phones and watching HD TVs in it they are not actually okay
because in the first movie the only scene that was added that wasn't written in
the original books was the one where they go into a hospital and you see all
this modern-day tech and Josh Hartnett pulls out a cell and you're like this is
fucking ripping me out of it yeah I think Josh Brolin picks up a big huge
rotary like okay okay whatever my only real big actual deal with it is that the
main story a dame to kill for is like and the rest of it has nothing to do with
it yeah yeah yeah she the the dame to kill for is played by Eva Green was
Vesper in Casino Royale and whatever she looks incredible but her the
original role was written and they were gonna have Angelina Joe Lee play and
Angelina Joe Lee would have been perfect because she looks like a noirish
babe right and she's got that like like cold confidence about her and I was like
oh this would have been so much better with her because I believe she hates acting
and she hates acting and Eva Green was just like she looks great she's like
she's got a great figure for the role and there's lots of scenes where she like
you know shows it off but I was just like oh she's not that effective in the
role and and you're supposed she's the main part of that story so I don't know
I was pretty disappointed with it I've been really pissed if I seen it in the
theater I paint I rent it on Xbox video and it was only five bucks okay it's
worth five dollars but yeah now what is it worth your time it's worth that one
story because the other two are bad so maybe the one out of three that edits
them back into chronological order would be a better watch maybe maybe I can see
that I also watching Spartacus yeah after a couple of people yeah what Spartacus
is that an AMC show it's a stars media stars and the thing about spark is when
that came out I don't know about you guys when I saw trailers I'm like yes
thanks for trying to appeal directly to this demographic right it was like so
made for testosterone guys and I was just like no it's too much and like this
wouldn't exist if 300 didn't exist right because it's the exact same thing like
and Rome and all that stuff and all that and then I finally sat down and watched
the first episode is a fucking shit show it's terrible then the second one is way
better than the third one is way better and now I'm just like yeah Spartacus
when does Rosario Dawson show up does she I'm pretty sure and another series
because there's four of them okay and the reason why they did that's because the
main actor to play Spartacus like he got cancer yeah and then he went to remission
then he came back and then they had to die because that guy is really good
apparently so Lucy Wallace also very good in that I don't think it's naked all
the time Zeena oh I don't know how to deal with that you know deal with it by
pressing play yeah how old is she now she's in her 40s at least she looks great
oh good okay I played never alone which is that Inuit girl in the Fox game
you guys saw me play a little bit of it I haven't touched it yet but it's really
good like if you like limbo if you like those types of games like it's it's
really good damn it damn it what cuz like I was looking into it I was like
this looks interesting but I fucking hate limbo so well what's the part you
hate about limbo the gameplay well side scrolling and puzzles oh geez okay
maybe stay clear yeah like I love the style and tone and music and all
this case was a first person shooter anything but a puzzle game I think from
where I left off never learned it's puzzles weren't nearly as complex as
limbo is there really easy to figure out there's more platforming going on the
parts that I saw platforming but it's puzzles are like we're barely nothing
and I think I was telling you guys that the one thing I didn't like is that like
when it has these like Inuit cultural facts that pop up yeah they just pop up
on the screen and they're always there and it's like you have seven more when
you click on them they're long videos and those are cool but I like the way
valiant hearts did it where you just go into the pause menu there's just one
tab it says they're right here but they don't always show up and just kind of
yeah anything about Inuit culture sorry did you learn anything about Inuit
culture they're very scattered the way they pop up like you find a polar bear
and it says your stuff about polar bears so it doesn't go in any sort of
chronological order if you want to get something really important it comes way
later and I know never alone is about a specific tribe yeah it's a specific
people for people who don't know this was funded by an Inuit tribes council
yeah making like a casino or something they funded a game yeah good yeah I
got a ps4 yeah yeah an opportunity arose and I got a ps4 it's still in the
box right now but someone asked you hey man you want ps4 and you said yes yeah
okay sure you get transistor on that thing yeah I was good that was gonna
lead me into I also got a copy of Far Cry 4 and I played that at Pat's house yeah
and that seems like pretty good game seems pretty good I was I think you said
it best it was like this is exactly a lot like Far Cry 3 but guess what the
settings way more interesting like mountains and snow and wild animals and
that's enough of a change like it's it's so much more visually interesting and
then fucking tropical island island with party kid douche bag how many I kind of
liked that they were party kid douche bags I like I was I like that they are
party kid douche bags they got their party kid douche bag vacation ruined how's
the squirrel suit yeah I have it because it looks really cool everyone's
like you get it super early like I played that game for a bit like and I did
not find it I also played escape from Dead Island
why is it I really what is that what is that okay it is a third-person self-shaded
more melee focused dead island yeah and it's made a fat shark who did what
bionic commando rearm well the videos I saw of this look like they're to your
parkouring off of zombies I did not get to that part but the part I did play I
did not like really shit bad dialogue well you're thinking of dying light oh
yeah getting a dying light whoops yeah escape from Dead Island is third one
self-shaded entire time it's self-shaded okay and I couldn't see any parkour
shit you play as a guy in the very start he's basically hunk you just have a
katana and you're running around it's really really basic it feels like it
belongs in the ps2 or xbox maybe I need to play it more but it's got like
talking about douche bag characters when you transitions to the characters that
you play for the rest of the game they're just douche bags on a boat and
they're saying they're they actually say you're a douche you love it well yeah
they're I hope you get eaten by fucking zombies I I didn't care for it and oh I
played the new adventure time game based on well you did a lot this week holy
shit it's pretty good I actually what because I read on the internet so I was
like is this anything to me yeah it's pretty good and then I told Matt this
and he was like no I have to sit me down because I almost don't believe the
Nameless Kingdom it's all voice-acted it's just what that's a big deal with the
license property like a cartoon straight up linked to the past mm-hmm like it
feels a lot like link to the past and it does a good job and I didn't play I play
like an hour and a half of it but I liked it I'm glad you say that because
now I'm gonna go out and get it and it's it's a steep price though it's 40 bucks
that's only on 360 ps3 and pds I know it's on the third time is actually a
charm forget that it's on you say you should just maybe hey guys did you hear
that Liam said that was on Vita also is it it is I thought it was on less
systems that what is it not it's not next to not on the curtain okay that's it
I guess the last one bombs super hard on we you and they just oh right I forgot
how we do oh no I suppose so and of course like Willie mentioned Conrad came
on killer angstain yeah I don't go too much into it but he's a fucking blast he
is so complicated and not complicated at the same time a trap-based Dalsym
grappler yet with and our carers style with and our carers happening yeah happening
yeah he's really fun at it for iron gal at his first completely made from the
ground up character he's just awesome like really really great character you
said he is throws like Super Skrull like that he's got he's got a full screen
grab and it slams you back and forth and if you set up a sand trap he lands the
person they juggle on they juggle out of it when you let go of the grab and then
you can continue your combat or you can put as scarabs which are the like the
Dr. Strange projectiles put it in the middle of the screen then raise a sand
pillar to lend bounce the guy into the scare and then wait from the fall down
then do the grab it's it's sick a boldly unaggressive design in some respects
where you see the whole mummy thing going on but he's like a Babylonian
sorcerer but they didn't give him a giant headpiece they dress he's just a
running face guy I appreciate his custom outfits bit his custom outfits have some
like an Inca headdress I'm like a Chinese like Fu Man Shu like big trouble
little China basically it's like what look at him being ancient evil across
time spinal though spinal being like yeah yeah classy right yeah but but like you
know his default is just like no man I'm a rotten Babylonian sorcerer yeah that
doesn't for me all right okay over so what do we got what I'm going to be a
morning oh no with precious on I have pretty good and pretty expensive week
but I think it all turned out pretty well I bought an Xbox one and it showed up I
managed to get it for like effectively three hundred and twenty dollars after I
sold all the pack I was like you matter trading places yeah and and that means
that that means that you and I Willie are the only two that are still on one
side of the other well I guess I still have the psdv and the ps3 well no I
just mean if that's your next gen console yeah but then for me it's like I'm
actually on the PC I was just like last night I was just like okay let me start
thinking about this ps4 situation seriously yeah and then it's like oh
excerpt is gonna be cross-play compatible on both consoles the reason is
Bloodborne the Bloodborne would be the reason is what I thought it was gonna be
excerpt like why are you gonna buy excerpt on ps3 when you're gonna get a
yeah why not just get the ps4 first for an excerpt and we get the excerpt it's
not gonna price drop an excerpt is gonna look better on the ps4 but it's not
just no just spend the money you're gonna find a cheap ps4 now during like
boxing we boxing things may have Willie is always of the opinion that if I wait
it out something good will happen and it off like an amazing game will come out in
March well along with Bloodborne that's and both of them then I'll get that's
accurate but here's here's what leaving where you're saying right it's
basically like are you gonna the day the bloodborne comes out are you gonna be
like fuck I need to get it right do you think the ps4 is gonna drop in price
between now and then no then just get it and the game that you would want with it
the second that occurred what is the time to look for deals I'm gonna go one
further and say if you buy the black Friday bundle as it is called the one
with GTA and last of us you can flip those for like 40 and 30 respectively
easy or just keep them because they're good or just keep them but then you
effectively get $70 off which is a better deal than you're gonna get in
March because that's what I did with my yeah I gotta tighten up the belt a
little bit see how the money's doing yeah it's doing but anyway just do it no
it's Liam sorry sorry so I bought this Xbox I played a bit of killer instinct
that games still fucking amazing now I'm glad to actually get time to play it
yeah because Matt kept kicking me out of his apartment so no just sit down in
training mode and just do it yeah exactly that's really enjoyable I play
in the mail sorry checks in the mail checks in the mail exactly I played
through the prologue of D4 again with my girlfriend so we're going through that
that's a good game that games really funny anything of it up to that point
she watched the like beginning on the ice and then she was like no I want to I
want to see this like firsthand so okay okay and I played another game that
kind of surprised me and it was project spark and project sparks actually like
really fun game came out yeah absolutely because digital only like the
retail box just came out like last week or two weeks ago but it's just like
download codes with so this is Microsoft's little big planet more or
less yeah from a gameplay perspective it kicks a little bit plants yeah it's much
from a broader right yeah exactly from a creation the perspective little bit
planets you know it's limited to 2d and what funny minigames you can finagle in
there but for little bit planet you can make the art look like fucking anything
yeah you draw textures and draw it project spark you're really limited to
like six themes where it's house that's horror and sci-fi more or less exactly
so it's more limited and that's like building an RTS map or a warm stage kind
of but at the same time there's a certain appeal to like just going online and
just getting into this little small fantasy world with like 20 quests that
this one guy painstakingly built okay and just in 40 minutes just 100%ing it
and being like that was that was a good it's a little mini game like not like
mini game like shit baby it's out like a small 30 minute game yeah and if they
feel more elaborate cuz they're you know just big they're 3d world house
conquerors yeah I don't think Conker's out yet I didn't I didn't look but I
don't think he's he's been delayed indefinitely but they're adding new
characters like there's range characters there's melee characters like this is a
good variety it's it's it's fun so it's like action RPG feeling yeah okay yeah
like let's see that's a kingdom is a kingdom that's way more interesting to me
by the fall yeah then bad platforming jumper oh sure any I think if anyone has
an Xbox one you should at least give it I mean it's free give it if in one I
eventually get one now down scale down though but yeah anyway um other I played
sunset overdrive again cuz it was it had its free day still not really feeling it
like that's a shame I played up to the the the the fucking what are they called
that the Japanese themed Boy Scouts that was it and I don't know man like the
humor is just I find it's just too on the nose and like a lot of like it was a
mission where I fell off a building and the character said oh thank when I
respawn on the building it said oh thank God you didn't make me climb up that
again it was like I get it video games yeah and it's like but it's it's all
right fun I mean for for free you know I wasn't gonna complain but and then it
and then yeah that's those the free trial day and then it keeps your save but
relocks after that day yeah all your savings and everything yeah very if you
were to get it you would just start off from where you were exactly exactly that's
a cool thing and yeah concerning the Xbox one like last time I used it really
heavy was like launch pre-launch time you know and the OS has improved a lot
there's still some finicky things I don't like when when you're in the OS and you
hit B and it brings you back to the last app I really don't remember a lot of
people talking about how if you use the original OS without connect it was just
like a fucking mess because it was clearly designed that you would have
connect it's no it's better no it's very similar to how it was or it's just
smoother it feels better the thing with the B button yet you got to remember is
that don't it's not like a cancel button it's more like a back button in a
browser yeah and I'm not used to that like I like the consistency on the PS4
where PS button is the gate to get you in or out of app yeah whereas on the Xbox
it's not but then it does different things is a cycle back through your
history thing and if you want to go somewhere else just press guide and go
to the next thing I like I don't even know what you're talking about which
means that like whatever it is I got used to sure you know what I mean yeah
no I get you and the other thing is like coming from the PS4 a lot I find like
everything on the Xbox one is like a couple button presses too far away
well on the PS4 you have games and apps and you hit up and then you have all the
OS stuff and that's that's it right yeah that was like a huge improvement with the
ps3 version like the kid to get into video settings on a ps3 fucking mess give
me an hour yeah the cross media bar has its advantages but like when you go into
like settings and stuff it gets a bit and the ps4 dm is yeah ps4 OS was a
fucking mess back before they they toned down the library function like you
if you had a lot of games it was just long yeah but it's like I want to get
to the library button so I have to go all the way yeah well you're not wrong
but what I mean is even after the fixes on the Xbox like if I want to get to
settings and I'm in a game I press the button and then I have to go to my games
and apps and open that app separately and then go through that and pick
settings and then I'm in settings what what takes forever on the exponents to
get to the new games released that week digitally yeah it takes forever like
that's the part where I'm just like that should be a button on the main should
be the guide button just brings me to new game yeah or you should replace that
that new thing with that they've had with the featured thing that's forced on
your on your main screen I was gonna say cycle through though the new releases
there or something and not just have these forced things was like I don't want
to go look at movies right now like just let me scroll that on my Liam's or
somebody who went from ps4 to Xbox is the sharpening thing and visible to you
not super the crash blacks are but yeah otherwise not yeah I wish it's no it's
because the games are I'm only playing exclusives and right right yeah you're
not seeing like the only non-exclusive I played this vulgar the Viking so it was
true and that doesn't really matter so I can't say unfortunately we get that
while it's free yeah yeah do that it's free now yeah also paper like you're
saying you know like tighten the belt get the free things well they're free also
like you were saying I find this store is pretty poorly sorted like I searched
for killer instinct so I wanted to buy that ultra combo packs and like it was
just DLC DLC and I just scroll through pages of it to get to that that was it
was like yeah that actually rate that better six these stores so so what you
have to do for that stuff is you have to go to the main page the page of the
game and then it branches into what you want for there but like on the ps4 I
find it a lot easier where you just when you search for something you always find
the game and then it has subdivision for its extras and like there's no must no
fuss there and it's curated so like the important what a huge improvement from
the abysmal ps3 store it was just yeah that ps3 store well I mean the early
ps3 online was just catch up catch up and then the new ps3 store that crashes
the system so that because it can't run it because the RAM restrictions yeah it's
open a Japanese store I found 100% crash it's bullshit when I have to when I
have to find my my Virgil avatar for the my PSN thing right on nightmare yeah
because you're just holding down going through the slow loading jpegs on ps3
the the store is just no while we're still on this the worst store like like
design thing ever is to get themes on the 360 because there's no way to sort
just games here is 37,000 pages of sports yeah or like random movies or that
hip-hop scene
you know what I'm saying whenever I try to look that's why I've had the same theme on the 360 for ever
I'm too scared to go because all that you can't sort it that I just want
video games or just want you know yes yes 3 has the same problem and there's
like oh yeah at least dynamic themes are cool and they there's way more of those
at the end of the day you just need the Africa theme and that's and you're done
right but that is the worst thing where every time I just go in there just to
give myself a fright sometimes I need like my ass worse than any games worse
the next leg right oh yeah yeah no I really like how you can set achievements
as your background because I had a really nice crimson dragon achievement and I
was like yo this makes a really good background so I don't like how you can't
in or get new avatars like you're restricted to Microsoft selections of
avatars and they're nice they're really nice the designs for them but you can't
even pick from your 360 avatars that you own yeah and then they're all too small
anyway yeah but it was like I had my turn of alpha avatar yeah and I
accidentally picked a Microsoft one and you can't switch back without going on
your 360 like well and even if you didn't it wouldn't it wouldn't switch it back
entirely oh would it not it would isolate if you were 360 wow that's a shame and on
the ps4 it's even worse you can't fucking access you know it's the same you
can't act so bad playing because like it there's a there's a setting that says
use your Facebook avatar yeah right and with that you can take a photo and put
it on your Facebook and I jerry rigged that but that's for you that's for when
you look at your profile everyone else sees the the shitty default if you
accepted the name thing with each other you see their Facebook profile but I'm
not gonna do that sure but I saw that Chihuahua head thing cuz like I'm not
gonna buy a fucking avatar right I get ya I don't I like the machine a lot games
are good it's better than it was at launch that's for sure is your is your
connect plugged in I know no connect okay the cheap one so oh yeah okay well
yeah I want to maximize maximize balance yeah exactly tell me about unity
Liam I'm still enjoying it still good game have you booted yours up yet no
oh I mean it's you know as a you know what I'll fucking boot mine up when the
blog detail fixes says we fixed it they fix the Facebook fix the framerate damn
it that was one good bug okay the Facebook seem kind of rare cuz like I
try I still want it yeah it's it's a hard one to pull I want that event
horizon shit you know happening otherwise I saw I was talking about how
you forgot to mention your cellar on the podcast which says everything no it's
fantastic oh really it's fucking incredibly what about the dialogue could
you hear it yeah what's this everyone's complaining that the music is mixed so
loud that it a huge amount of scenes you cannot hear I would say only in the third
act there was something like that for another for another Christopher Nolan I
think it was Dark Knight Rises where I remember yeah I can't hear Bain's voice
well Bain's original voice filter was there was that too but music mixing I
don't remember that I didn't find that mission really I didn't maybe it's where
you sit in the theater I was right in the middle I was you know it's bought so
possible I did hear about those audio mixing issues though that people
complained about yeah well people or theater straight up putting like I don't
know like like sighing saying no the theater isn't that is how it's supposed
to the audio mix is supposed to be a rare problem I think I think the movie is
fantastic I think you should all go see about space it's really good it's fucking
about space it's about the largest scale of space you've seen in a movie and then
it's also about the smallest micro scale of one person's emotions okay like and
it really handles both sides really well it's awesome really really good
movie the only other thing was I my Kindle arrived and I have a Kindle now so
I'm just burning all my books you have that book Bernie Mobile everyone just
bring your books out anything by Jane Austen just like something really neat
about the Kindle was I sprung for the 3g version which I would never do in a
product because fuck that and the only reason I sprung for the 3g version was
because it said 3g on the Kindle is free forever with no subscription and I
was like well okay and and it's and I got home it arrived in the mail and I
pressed the power button and it said hi Liam and I was like and I look at my
home page and the six books I downloaded the night before were already
downloaded wow I was like they activated this while it was in the mail and it uses
3g to download everything wow and I was I started reading well we've got no
audible spots this week so enough about that I bet you know what technology it
used for that whispers whispers and no it's really good I was using it on the
way here I really like it it's really fun device if you like the book are you
expanding your mind or reading trash I'm reading the same trashy stuff I always
read it but now it's half price yeah yeah so like when I saw the price
difference I was like oh my god like I'm gonna save money in 30 books oh yeah
audiobooks and and and digital books are just murdering fucking traditional
yeah it's unbelievable always gonna have a place simply because of the screen
design yeah the fact that it's so good I forgot what the term is digital ink it's
like not reflective it just looks flat and it you can look and read it in any
yeah that that's you know but I was gonna say is that I will be brought in
kicking and screaming to buy a digital book like I will hold on to a regular
book and as long as I legally can I I don't particularly find it well I mean
like how many books do you buy like you buy a lot of books well I bought a lot of
well here's the thing maybe I will not be able to because I bought a lot of books
when the chapters was still open well indigo still there yeah I know I used to
buy and read tons of books but then I found the internet I and then I just
read like forums Ted talk like yeah like just a transcripts instead now I I've
gotten to enjoy audiobooks so I mean it I find like you know mixing it up I
listen to audiobooks on occasion but it's just there's something about it where
I'm holding the book and I'm in a bus or whatever you smell the book smell the
book I really like it too but like I was looking at my like I was looking at my
indigo rewards thing for last year it was like you bought 56 books and I was
like I would have saved like fucking $250 if I would have bought an Xbox one with
that well you know what I was having a moment until next week where I was like
I'm in my library I'm putting up my games and whatnot and then I have the
bookshelf and like it's taking up you know quite a few shelves of just books
and I'm like I don't reread books so all I have these for is for loading to other
people yeah and you look at them and there's like 40 that you're like these
I will read like I will keep and one day I'll reread them and I love these and
then you have 80 that are like these are just you know and I'm like I could use
this space so I understand the appeal wall dedicated to this exact problem
yeah I mean I am keeping all my books I'm not selling any or anything but like
no if it's on the Kindle now I'm gonna just get a mobile that said like I
downloaded the first volume of what's that fucking DC comic with the the six
people who are like anti-villains suicide squad suicide squad the first volume of
new 52 suicide squad was a dollar on Kindle so I bought that and like comics
don't look good on it like I was about to say I was talking about because like
manga is printed like yay comics are printed on like yeah that's like it's
really great for a podcast and that doesn't you have to come around to read it
Liam is using his fingers to visually denote space but like manga pages are
like a quarter of the size no maybe a third of the size of a comic page yeah
and like comics don't scale comic pages are too large and I feel like the
only time I felt a decent solution arrived to us with the DC comic app
actual tablet is that well the no there's that built for it it's built for it
and I'm reading fables on it and it's like it focuses on the panel and like
it frames you the entire time that's all it does that same thing just it's in
black and white so it loses some of the impact as well I bought it because it
was a dollar and I was like let's see what a comic looks like because like
manga looks great because that's how it's supposed to be printed 99% of the
time but comics look a lot weaker so I'm doing anymore okay good device good
devices expensive week but I really liked a lot of bullshit oh I know amiibo
fucking amiibos they're pretty fun but I got to you train them way too fast like
I have a level 50 amiibo and it took me like three hours I couldn't find a little
Mac little max not let's kill him he's a second it's not yet yeah I couldn't find
them good thing you didn't kill yourself which one did you get Samus and
Donkey Kong I got Samus, Marth, Link, and Fox yeah that's the four did you see that
six Samus you can get yeah she both arms are the arm cannon
the misprint oh yeah that's the fire power I think I've seen the people like
repainting their amiibos and stuff no fantastic someone like sculpted a clay
axe onto the villager and put blood on his face of course people are gonna war
hammer these things well I'm gonna take off links yellow thing and put a wire
frame to hold them up yeah sure get rid of that someone it's in crash someone
changed Samus into the light suit Samus yeah they look awesome and Matt I think
you should buy the link one and just cut him off and glue your figment to it if the
data is all in the base there they're fun I'm excited for like the dedicated
you know the Disney infinite the Nintendo infinity and the sky Nintendo's to
come out yeah because once that game comes out these might actually be worth
something no I actually really enjoyed playing with like Marth for the couple
of hours but I can't deny that it's like a tertiary I really don't understand the
appeal of the Smash Bros implementation of amiibos I'm gonna bring the amiibo
and it'll kick your ass I don't get it it's like you put the amiibo down and you
don't play no okay play with it play alongside okay if I was 10 that would be
the greatest I guess it's like look it's Mario's my friend or whatever yeah no
exactly my toys in the game but he's also your friend in whatever other that's
like the only actual tangible benefit I could see from my purposes is like if I
got a level 50 amiibo I could do the co-op event mode and smash a lot are you
serious that's one of the faults of the amiibos and smash that I hate you cannot
use them in co-op modes well then fucking one of the biggest faults that's
pointless level 50 amiibos are ridiculous though like I can't beat it I
can't beat 50 is it like a higher AI level or is it just that search or to be
yeah okay like they power shield like 80% of the time and they dodge like 90% of
your off-the-stage so it's the AI as well yeah and it's like as far as I can
understand from my usage of it the level denotes their AI quality and then
whatever habits they learn from you go along so okay but a level 50 amiibo
that you like train raw yourself is absurdly strong like mostly because
they're inhuman like again like 80% of the time get a power shield and dodge
everything off-stage way strong it's super fun it's like fighting the
Terminator it's like fighting the Terminator who knows exactly what you're
gonna I feel like it's actually we really need
Skynet to be in the smash so remember Virtua Fighter 2 had a
Saturn had an option in the in the menus that you could toggle called
learning mode yeah as you went through arcade mode if you use moves a certain
amount of times the piece the the arcade mode opponent would start to read that
input and adjust so it would be like no you have to vary it up or so caliber 2
where you train your your ghosts yeah fight other people or the Kyle
difficulty and killer ink sync reads your input after a while but in a
fighting game that's the worst that's the absolute it's only if you put on
Kyle that difficulties just the name of some guy the guy that prove the asshole
that program what was that thing that Maximilian send himself through hell
trying to beat Kyle with again like to unlock Shadow Jago it's even fight
Shadow Jago and he did it halfway but then he realized like oh I have to do it
with these parameters on how do you so he had to redo the entire thing double
he looks called him while he was on the stream to kid like to tell him how to do
it wrong they didn't want him to wait how do you get Shadow Jago so I was
looking at the character select and I was here is cut your dick off that's how
you get shadow you have to put it on medium above difficulty you can't lose
a match you have to win by supreme victories which two or three
ultras or something along and then one of them is that you have to win you have
to win by awesome victory which is almost get killed oh and come back but
then come back it's redix so it's like Akuma but worse cut your dick off God
damn it I hate that I hate cutting my dick off you know not even Akuma but
worse like the traditional rumored legendary yeah that's way harder than
I expected shit yeah Olympics it is I guess no yeah my week's been a lot of
like just editing and retreading old anime with the girlfriend you know
showing her some GTO yeah yeah yeah it's so good dude it's so fucking good one
thing that plays really weird is like his his super obsession with being the
40 year old teacher that marries a 16 year old girl like it's like nowadays is
like are you fucking creepy you know like that but he's supposed to be cut but
totally yeah it's great it's great he's got his own bread to justice GTO is one
of my favorite shows ever and it still holds up in that regard I know as good
as a live action drama well you know I think they have their strengths yeah
every version of GTO is they're all good good in a different way I can't think
of another series that has that many adaptations that are good that being
said I never saw the dub on the original anime and like I decided to just try it
around this time that was the fastest I've ever switched off a dub yeah it was
just traditional standard anime although I think back in the day I think on
Azuka's play by Steve bloom I think yeah he is it just it was terrible it was I
am going to be the best teacher the first two guys that show up that he
beats up the first two guys that show up that he beats up in like the first five
seconds yeah like one of them kind of coughed a line out done done we're
switching back I had that with you you have show oh yeah like yeah I'm
atrocious yeah but no fucking great still and I watched a million ways to die
in the West how is that that is hilarious really okay really funny I
was really divisive to some people no I was on the way I remember red letter
media just shit all over no I think it's funny I enjoyed it I'll give it a look
I've been on the edge yeah it has it has quite a few like like moments and
references that just come the fuck out of nowhere and get you okay and you can't
really quite tell what's going on with the trailer because you're like did
someone go back in time yeah what's the deal and I'll just tell you straight up
no it's just people it's just a guy that's in the West that's just aware of
how shit it is and he sounds like a modern-day guy that's it there's no
like time yeah because he's Seth MacFarlane exactly and like just you taking
that into consideration like it becomes really really fucking hilarious at
points I think I think it's worth checking out man okay it's on Xbox
video you know you can go grab it I yeah I don't want to give too much away but
like is there a million different ways demonstrated yeah there's that movie
for a comedy has like like shocking amounts of brutal murder like like really
really really over the top good you know the most shocking brutal murder in a
comedy was in the hot fuzz do you know what I'm talking about there's a lot of
stories that you fall into that guy that but this this one is about like
everyone's having a good time and then someone just fucking dies and it's the
oh my god that would sell so quick they die right like really hard good um like
eat like it's like you there's a semi decapitation and it's not a clean one
you know what I mean it's not right on yeah but anyway yeah that that's worth
checking out and of course you know time is being put into Smash that's all
there is I guess yeah talk about games so did you guys try the board game mode
by the way yes I did I tried it with two friends I really don't like I love it I
think Smash Tours awesome I didn't I did the the other mode instead of the rival
and co-op I forgot what that mode's called classic not no no where is it
classic yeah it's the new classic mode where the everything's on the board yeah
okay right yeah okay no I really like Smash Tour like it's how long does the
game last 15 oh nice yeah it's not a full on Mario party you go up to half an
hour yeah if you do a big match and you think about it okay but it's just super
fast it's super it's it's it's the it's the Mario party that I need and want
which is 15 minutes and then you go oh wow that wow fuck that okay here's what
you're unlocking different fighters as you go through it yes right so if you're
a person that's new to smash or like not used to that stuff then that mode must be
really challenging for you oh it's used to it's a fucking mess no matter how much
you know the reason I don't like it because it's way too luck-based well
yeah but no you get random characters you two random characters and then your
stats go nuts so you're not even playing default yeah and somebody somebody
can go and like use a power-up on you it's like all your say you were you had
built up lots of jump and lots of smash like all they shuffled it so it's all
into items and now and now you're you jump five miles in the air yeah and then
and then like you can get into a match and it's an explosive round and there's
just bombs everywhere yeah and then you start the round and like an enemy's got
a Franklin badge equipped and someone else slapped you with a hundred percent
damage for the round began yeah that's like that remember that really dumb
party mode he played in MK9 where the parameters kept changing but at least
you got to pick your character random combat or whatever no just be good with
every character when I started it and I got Yoshi and Diddy Kong I almost just
threw up well here's the thing I don't think it's that bad because in Mortal
Combat if you took like if it was random there that would be bad because I don't
know how to play fucking Baraka yeah but smash characters but what I mean is
like imagine you got Baraka and you couldn't jump and you started with 20%
life that'd be awesome but and you have to go on that for like 15 and a half an
hour well that's that's rough but if it's well no because you get more
characters as you go but what might not get carried right even like at all did
just be good with everyone that's what I mean why would I play I don't want to
master orders are crazy orders yeah they're great okay those most are like
way because they're fixed all orders you go in and it's like okay they have
bunny I should I should I should clarify something I don't think smash tour is
good I think I like it okay I like it because it's bad I was gonna say
everyone on the internet is well not everyone but a lot of people on the
internet are like smash I wish I had smash run it's kind of atrocious and I
love it okay I love that it's such bullshit I was really drunk when we
played it back it's a time wasters what you found no it's just it's it's Mario
party with no time investment and instead of minigames it's mash fighting
okay that's a random bull that's exactly what it is because you'll be done
around in 15 minutes just give it a square right after this fuck it yeah
remember right after this confirmed well what else did you do with your week
then cut I started out with that I started out of smash board no I played
to whip no I played three and then we were like oh yeah we're doing we're done
with this I do like it's exactly the same as last week I finally beat
dragonfall you know that part in a game where you're like I there's the one
thank you much no dragonfall okay that's the shadow run game okay okay you know
that part in an RPG where you're like we're gonna go do it yeah and you're
like okay I'm at the end of the game that's really far away from the end of
the game in dragonfall oh yeah that's like six hours away I love that and the
final like because it's so it's so typical on a game like this that when
you go to the final base or whatever it is a fucking slog it's destroy everyone
in this room now go to the next room I destroy everyone in this room do one
story thing go to the next room it is not that like it is it is fast it is
small scale you are like wandering around like a kind of overworld inside the
thing it's awesome and then there's an actual twist there's an actual twist
that actually got me like it really really got oh and to the point where one
of your characters goes I don't even know what we're doing anymore what are
we supposed to do we fighting for what is the point and you go your dialogue
choices are this this or that is fantastic if you're gonna buy a shadow run game
don't buy shadow run returns buy shadow run returns dragonfall directors cut it's
way better or buy a shadow run on the 360 no don't do that can you even play
that anymore no you can't play the PC version shouldn't and I also played a
lot of Dragon Age like a lot of Dragon Age and there's good right there were
some details that I forgot last week to mention I mentioned that the health is
Dark Souls but I didn't mention that the targeting is also Dark Souls it's the
same button you click in on the right stick and it locks on button makes sense
was it not that in previous no no no no no the PC controls for that game are
fucked up they are fucked up you can't remap mouse buttons you the tactical
view has bugs in it that recenters you know you go to a tactical view where you
see the whole battlefield yeah you can't zoom out far enough to actually see the
whole battle field which is a serious problem and the other thing is that on
PC there's like a bug that when you switch to a different character the
camera recenters to that party member which means when you're trying to focus
on an enemy and then go through a tax oh shit it will just recenter on party
members also the AI for archers is atrocious they will run right friendly
friendly they'll run right up to an enemy and shoot him with arrows in the face
sick and it's like mmm that's exactly how archery was intended that's not that's
not like a list now that being said all those flaws are significant and they
are quite significant this game is amazing I love this game this is the
single-player MMO that I have wanted for like a decade it has just it is a giant
MMO style overworld and has just enough context to a fetch quest to make it
worthwhile and you did get out of the hinterland so I'm getting there as an
example is like out of the entrance when you have a big if you have a big
like Assassin's Creed style or Skyrim style or giant open-world kind of thing
where you're doing all these little quests there's only so much like time
that development can give to these things so it matters like how how much of
that is used properly so take an example of an early quest in the game it's oh
no the farmers are being attacked by wolves that have gone crazy because of
magic all right it is the most it's the most boilerplate RPG quest that can
possibly exist yeah but barring like fight the rats in the bottom of this
tavern yeah yeah wow that's so when you when you get to the farm before you
interact with anyone on the farm you are attacked by way stronger than average
wolves mm-hmm and your party after fighting them remarks those wolves were
nuts and they're gonna say they said those were stronger than the average no
but the party banter is like these wolves seem super nuts what the fuck and
then you go and they're like oh my god dude we can't even the wolves and the wolves
are not so we don't know why they live in this cave and you go to the cave and
it's this really beautiful architecture level that's quite small and you kill
them and you kill the demon and your party banters like oh yeah we did it we
then you go back and the wolf cave had architecture wolf cave is like an old
like dwarven like okay what the fuck are these wolves up and your party goes
oh yeah we did it that should be fine now and you go back and they're like oh
thanks a lot and you get your XP and it's just enough it's just enough
involvement mm-hmm on this there's a there's a quest where you you all the
guy wants is a my sheep ran away can you get like you just go get it it's the
fetchest fetch quest ever but the guy you're talking to is insane and is like
oh no he talks he talks for real and you have five lines of dialogue in an
argument you can have with him it's like I really don't think that's true I
don't think that your sheep talks to you man it's like no he helped me beat the
stock market or such and it's it's just enough and there's tons of that so what
you only mentions is I was talking to him about this the other day so I mean he
heard a lot and read a lot online about get out of the hinterlands yeah so the
hinterlands is the first zone that you get into and it's very clear from the
instant you get there that it's bigger than dragon age one and two combined in
in totality in game space and I spent 20 hours in that first zone before
continuing the actual story which led to confusing bits where I was unlocking
abilities that would be perks for abilities I hadn't unlocked yet because
of story progress because I was spending so much time just dicking around but
yeah no that it's just like you got a focus upgrade and you're like what the
fuck is focus and then you do like two more story missions and then focus is
like the limit break of the game yeah and then that game has weird weird weird
shit in it some that I really appreciate and some that I don't the romance
thing you know by where always says that romance shit they always try and it's
really heavy-handed now it's so heavy-handed that I enjoy it heavy because
every single character that is romanceable and some that are not you
you've masked the the cursor over a little heart icon and you just hit on
them you don't you don't start the romance tree your character just hits on
them I like your party member just standing still and there's another
there's a character they're trying to woo right next to him and you click on
the little heart icon then all of a sudden your main character's animation
snaps to you say that but like so you it's just really play it's really
blatant it's like one of your party members iron bull played by Freddie
rinse junior and he's doing a fantastic job he's like and so that's how I ended
up here pretty nuts huh and the fucking option to pick is like I'm really glad
you ended up here man and the responses yeah thanks okay and you dude you can
hit on people and there are multiple characters that don't want it and and
react awkwardly like white dude can you not hit on me like that detail every
second this is great the other thing that's kind of freaking me out about the
game is that I can see that this is going to become every Bioware game ever
like I can see that they have looked like last just like Assassin's Creed has
its formula and that became the Ubi formula I can see that this is now the
Bioware formula Dragon Age bigger scale but slightly Dark Souls bit yeah and
also the way the combat works the way you talk to people the the the pacing of
the story you're you're the guy who can do the thing and no one trusts you now
you get the norm would be slash castle where your gang hangs out and they have
their little corner and it's it's just really really really really really
obvious your fucking corner and probably the thing I don't like the most
about it is don't hit on that wolf so so that like every game is gonna be the
same from Bioware thing as manifested in a way that's probably the worst thing
about the game and it's infuriating so anyone who played Mass Effect 1 2 and 3
but didn't play the Mass Effect 2 last DLC remember they put out a DLC right
before Mass Effect 3 came out yeah called Arrival and but if you didn't play
that you're like why is Shepard in jail yeah you I remember playing Mass Effect
3 and you were like what the fuck right well guess what the primary villain of
this game was the DLC boss of Dragon Age 2 you have to play through shit
Mountain that no one knew no one knows about this character to the point that
they bring the main character from the last game to talk to you to explain who
the villain is do you think that's to actually just spur people are going back
and just playing it you think it's like why do you do it that sounds like it
just we wanted to surprise you that that sounds like they anticipated this
villain becoming a big deal or something but no one played that DLC but it's so
it's so bad you meet this character and like I'm the boss and you go who what
and you talk to a party member and he goes oh yeah I know that guy what who and
he doesn't tell you is that all get the main character from the last game and
you just stand on a ledge and just okay so what happened in the DLC I didn't
play what do you mean Ellie's best friend from back in the days the leader of
the firefly it's that that oh it's that's really bad but yeah no aside like
it had all these big flaws but then I just play it and play it and play it
sure and there's so much there are so much here I spent 20 hours I beaten one
out of ten zones so you're so you're just out of the hinterlands I'm just out
actually didn't finish them give me back I'll be back get out of there okay yeah
great game but yeah fucked up problem some weird stuff yeah okay well on that
note like RPGs that's no that's fun I'm gonna start playing boulderscape this
good frills yeah enhanced edition yeah have you played it before no I spent the
entire trip over here reading a party creation guy because it uses second
AMD and AD&D rules geez which means go back in time and learn all the
complicated you're not supposed to read the guy you're supposed to do it like
natural I don't know what AD&D rules are the game the game explains is what I'm
saying no the game doesn't but I mean like those games were assumed you knew
AD&D minus 10 life means you're dead minus mine means you're knocked out but
I mean I'd rather play and learn than just read what the best party is like
well no I didn't read what the best party is I read a detailed breakdown of
what every single class in the game is like Liam do you remember last week I
was talking about shadow Ronnie's like I kept having to restart cuz I wasn't
happy with my my bill yeah it's like I'm not I'm not necessarily researching for
min-maxing I'm researching so that a I get I know how this this party will play
and synergize and not admit not I don't want to min-max a power character I
just don't want to pick the shittiest sure most poorly-equipped class I guess
this is just like souls as well where I don't want to know anything well souls
is different souls doesn't have like you're missing my point okay I'm saying
like I just don't want to know anything about a game before I started well too
bad because I'm about to ruin that Bloodborne has a procedure Lee at
yeah okay so I mean like I don't want to know about bot like all the PR stuff
yeah but I mean like specific elements like I watched full playthroughs of the
game before I came out Dark Souls 2 no I didn't what didn't you watch no I'm yes
I watched streams for hours no ever for hours I watched I would I would I would I
would say I can watch 15 minutes of Dark Souls 2 a day until it comes out and I
would watch for 15 minutes and I would see one room sure and like most of those
rooms were in Shrine of Amana sure so yeah Bloodborne's gonna have a
procedure I hope I hope it gives you like I hope they are smart enough to put
loot like like no but loot you can't get elsewhere in the game yeah like like I
don't know how the upgrade system is gonna work but say you can put things to
plus 10 you can get the weapon that you like at plus 11 plus 12 right and then
it just goes and like I want it to be what's the game I'm thinking of Parasite
Eves I think Chrysler building Chrysler building that's it I want to be that
I think fucking tough and long though and random and very random and I guess
there I mean there's probably a limit of crystal what types of enemies are gonna
show up in there but like every enemy in the game you can only do well that would
you need a vital boss right now to like you know get to a higher tier of the best
way to do that is say there are a hundred floors or whatever and every floor
is random and they there's like a pool of difficulty so it's like it's not gonna
be every enemy in the game it should be it's probably gonna be like there's these
10 and then maybe if you get if you get plus it should be every opening that
like all the souls games that has area specific enemies yeah they're enemies
that are tailored to you know less designed because like this and you know
this enemies go only gonna work well if they're stairs but what if there's no
stairs in the room you know this and you know like the um what do they call the
the monks from Dark Souls who are on the fucking spiral staircase you know in
comment who grab you and stick their thing through your face and it's our
one or two demons sorry well fucker yeah just where I made a mistake the
good look at you guys yeah those guys like those guys if you put them in a big
flat open room they're dead they're fucking worthless so I I really hope
that they have it can't be specific enemies in that area who are who are
designed to be somewhat adaptable to fluctuating I want I want every single
enemy and room in the game to be just randomly placed together into garbage
I also don't want that because that'll ruin like the theming of the game there's
no design and that's not gonna happen well randomly generated fucking dungeon
like no but it's not non-canon in the universe yeah you're right okay fine
have it be one kind of area but just throw every enemy in the game I hope
there's a lot to it don't let me wrong yeah but that that can definitely be
interesting and then like there's that a couple other pieces of blood we're
using that that we're probably came sword that's it yeah there's they're
talking about how they're gonna have a big online announcement about the
place there's no online no they the alpha came out and people already messed with
the online and yeah we're taking that out and the weirdest thing about that is
you know they haven't talked about online this we're gonna try something really
crazy and really different well in the alpha online worked exactly the same as
it works in the other games use a red thing to become a phantom use a white
thing to go into evil's worlds although visually it looks a lot better to be a
red phantom because you just head to toe and crimson why in blood you're not
glowing mm-hmm you know ghost yeah you're not a ghost even though you kind of
melt out of the floor that part that part a little bit that's pretty cool
looking good looking good you're gonna be comfortable from that game like that's
gonna be the fucking other online thing the beast souls like Monaco it's like
it's unreal the more you kill players or whatever the more you become like a
actual different character and you're the beast become huntable by other
players this was a fucking hilarious headline from yesterday game stop
worried digital games are too cheap so I like late last night I send that to you
on Facebook please please please what is in the podcast I chortled as I read
that fuck you game stop there's there's something to be said of like if
tomorrow all games on the shelf that are out went to one dollar they won't on the
digital on the digital shelf but there's something to be said of like a
crazy world where everything immediately drops to a dollar now halting sales new
games and but it's not but that's the pole vault that these fuckers are
coming up because we said the exact same thing in regards to iOS games mobile
so let's pull back a little bit and and before we just shit all over them at
least emphasize what they're actually trying to say they're basically saying
is the digital sales like steam sales and stuff like that are putting down like
the average value of a game to something like twenty two dollars is the
number that they use and games and a lot of games are worth twenty two dollars
the worth sixty and if it's the rebuttal is no most games aren't worth sixty
dollars they're worth twenty two and they're saying if we continue down this
dark road we will be able to sustain profitability and it's like that again
makes sense when we're talking about banner saga popping up on the iOS yeah at
like a 12th of the price it's actually worth yeah but that's not what this is
about they're talking about retail games going for 35 it's you know but they're
saying they're no we want to put it up for 65 there they're all these little
I think they just said 60 I don't think they said 65 or more there's all these
little components 60 yeah add into one another everyone's afraid of digital
sales because the iOS and Android markets killed themselves with the race to
the bottom pretty much right and we got a whole place like Microsoft like a rich
like the idea is that games would be cheap on these services but good games
would be more expensive and then you they would settle into what they're
actually worth but the race to the bottom meant that now iOS and Android
games are worthless they have no intrinsic worth or value games get
negative reviews for costing money for costing one dollar Monument Valley put
out their DLC the other day which by the way is like fantastic go play that shit
and they got one star reviews because it was like the reviews were saying stuff
like you're making me pay for the app and then pay for like content in the app
you gross yeah and it's like no Monument Valley it's like so everyone's
terrified of that right and I remember EA when Origin first came out they were
talking all that shit about steam sales ruining the industry and then Origin
started to do those sales once they got those deals and it's just like okay you
put out a PC game at 60 bucks right sounds like what 500,000 copies you're
like okay that's what that games work then the steam sale comes out knocks it
down to 10 bucks you sell 4 million copies right you know what that means
that mean that game that means that game is worth ten dollars I think that
means the perceived value of that game is ten dollars not the actual no the
value of anything is what people are willing to pay for it I drop you well
when you drop the price people are now willing to go so on a macro scale on a
macro scale no the value is only what people are willing to pay if you have
the most amazing give a 500,000 people paid six yeah average it out so that's
what I'm saying is like not the value of something you know actually ends up
being what is the average price the average person paid for it over its
entire life yeah of course with with a with a modifier over time right but what
you see with steam sales is like most games are worth 60 bucks they're not
they're just they're just not but that's besides the point the point is is that
games game stop sells use games for fifty seven dollars not that high yes
there yes that's right fifty seven I use it's never seen it's 57 and with a free
subscription to their edge card it's 10% lower I did not know that part it's I've
never seen this this is coming from the people but that's only like call of duty
day two I imagine I imagine I sue that that sounds higher this is from people
that just like fucked the used market up right the used market is awful
remember when micro play was big how much money micro play would give you for
used games well not in my history three dollars for Star Fox the original game
they'll pay you 40 bucks for it that's okay that's good like my point is is
like because I mean like think about the truth and I just want to just soapbox
here think about the trade-off for them like they're giving you 40 bucks and
they're putting it on the shelf for 57 but they have no guarantee they're gonna
sell back right and they're whole their whole business there is a certain
insurance that they have to hold to themselves but when the used game prices
are de facto higher than new digital game prices yeah by a factor of two or
three life course they fucking hate that ever happen and the actor of two or
three they're the dude they're used games on like 360 ps3 and currently that
it's better sitting at like 45 50 dollars that we're on steam for 10 okay
like we think it took the thing about Tomb Raider and think about what happened
that game spread let's not forget that every one of those digital sales really
fast goes but not nearly as fast as let's not forget that every one of those
digital sales puts money in the developer's pocket as opposed to the
coffee and you pull off the five stickers granted the trade-off is you
sell so much more digital yeah that's factual what starting to shift when I
bought mad it's slow it's like an 80 20 it's 25 percent around that's still
not mad world I pulled off five stickers because that's how many times it was
resold at the same fucking it was a new sticker on it yeah the yellow sticker
that's the this is the second okay yeah yeah I don't even exist right and why
that like it's because parents don't know what steam or digital things so there
needs to be some sort of brick and mortar that a parent can go in get a game
for themselves because I don't know anything or get a game for my kids but
guess I was hoping that they don't know about steam or whatever that's like who
games I want to cater to and they're scared that maybe the group like us or
whoever knows about you know steam sales or also I and we'll stick to digital
like one of these things that it's just this little niggling doubt or I'm just
like I wonder what your cut on digital game cards is games game stop but right
but they're still selling those yeah and they do make money off and like just
never forget the mentality that is wait hold on do you want to spend $3 to
protect your disc for five years that is the ultimate scheme is that you ever
seen people fall for that and I always want to tell them don't do it but then
I don't there's there's that but then there's we're gonna take every copy of
Deus Ex Human Revolution on day one open up the box and throw the voucher out
yeah that was put in silence that was because we just we're not use not be not
the customers are not technically illegal no there are a lot but definitely
shady as fuck yeah no that wasn't a good one but I don't like I really don't
think they're as bad as most people make them up to be there and there are
business and as long as you don't let them take advantage of their liars you'll
get good how many games have they stopped zero if anything they've been
selling more and more it's ridiculous what a fucking terrible name for a
company I just like just do your business and don't don't spend $57 on
a used game and don't trade in your games for a dollar if they say it's a
dollar just say you're not giving it to them and also the hidden undercurrent
again is like they also have a used a digital also on PC that's not nearly as
popular as steam origin or GOG it's not even as popular as fucking you play no
when you're working at at a QAA office what's the most common email you see in
between people it's I'm selling these games yeah everyone wants to get the
premium price and not get ripped off but because if you say hey I'm a friend I
know you of course I've got all these games on sale and you're selling them
all for like 30 like well personal probably do that and here's cash right
now yeah and not like you know go down a game stop and like get chart like get
$10 back for a game that's maybe a month you're a month old Liam you're
talking about the person that gets the the game that costs money and then has
to spend money in the game and goes like what is this why my story on so on so
forth related to that on the iOS store right now the free section games when
you go to download them they no longer say free great the button says yet it's
no longer free they were starting they were starting to reassess that's awesome
the damage is done that's a step but yeah it's gonna it's gonna take years if
not a decade for that market to become a market with that said now that's there
yeah hopefully it will start I think South Park can take you're right get
you're totally right yeah after the freemium is in free episode or whatever
oh now there's no timings like dad close man oh South Park's making fun of us
change it now shit they make fun of us one day yeah well they make fun of
Canadians yeah but that's good stuff that's all that's fine as of now this is
the weirdest thing I found this announcement so it's good but it's weird
only Nintendo would be the kind of company that comes up with things saying
hey as of now our IPs are okay to use in fan projects and we are now officially
okay with that asterisk on Nico Nico oh yeah right yes yes yeah hopefully they
expand that quickly but yeah and you know and this almost seems like we're
looking at you project M we're looking at you you know random internet videos and
I know they got a lot of backlash last year for all their bullshit when they're
like we every YouTube video with a Nintendo character belongs to the day
late yeah exactly so you know hey making some steps to make amends yeah
what not um it's just it's just strange because it's such a you it's usually it's
such a we just look the other way kind of thing for every other company but
Nintendo's got to be like no it's on the board yeah which is weird weird we're
leaving an illegal gray area seems like they support fan stuff but then just
like you know Capcom's a little bit guilty of that well they'll be like hey
yeah oh this is cool like tournaments whatever oh wait you can't upload your
service rass sorry yeah though that that's not always them that's sometimes
YouTube but no but that's one guy in marketing yeah and he's like oh no we
made a game that's only cut and on the other hand there's been like what for
Capcom IP kick starters and like Assassin's fist became a thing once
started tournaments I mean once once I once I saw the thing with like Jonathan
blow can't get his own footage on YouTube that was that's when I was like
okay no that's not always the company sometimes it's just stupid shit it's too
complex I'd be have more of a connection to the story of Nintendo actually I'd
rather them had flagged anything that we've ever done yeah to be like yeah
fuckers apparently they showed let's plays though at the yeah at during the
video was introduced yeah fucking only on the only way it just shows our like
let's watch other and that being said that being said like Liam like he's
saying it's Nico Nico it's important to note that Nico Nico's doga started this
and approached Nintendo and that's why Nintendo is talking about this like
Nintendo just didn't go yeah let's start doing it it's like they were
actively approached by Nico Nico doga what should we be doing this yes you
should and we're like okay it's a weird kind of catch-up thing where they
already should have been doing this and it's like Sony and Microsoft have no
problem with their stuff being well it depends on the game depends I think I
can't think of a moment where Sony and Microsoft last season desisted
something a halo what was the last of us oh we got some of our videos flag and
says by Sony so I don't know maybe that's halo the old hit like Halo 3 and
stuff like that there are a lot of stuff there are a lot of was there for a
little yeah well it's a history anyway there's been no I was about to see
heavy but it wasn't it wasn't Sony you remember was that was another magazine
or was that beyond or something yeah and now that they've made that cool
decision let's go punish them by buying the hottest new 3ds game cubic ninja
oh flying off the show regret not having bought that $10 coffee three years
ago yeah God damn it this would have been way more useful on the DS where
there are way more things that didn't get brought over so the same day I'm not
region law sorry DS DS didn't have region lock okay sorry then not giving it
work right now it's like can we have that for the we use so I can play a
fucking file no so the same they've been made a bunch of homebrew games like the
the portal DS game and things like that he's like 20 years old yeah 22 and he's
like he's apparently the first guy Jordan Rabbit to crack the 3ds and
introduce homebrew onto it and he had some a picture of like Super Mario World
running on it yeah and apparently the way he got it working was he took this
really obscure game from Ubisoft called a Cuban Ninja in which you can create
levels and then convert them to QR codes and he customized the QR code so that
your 3ds scans it and then it starts running back background Wi-Fi connections
it downloads extra shit onto your 3ds and runs it and then creates a homebrew
channel that's fucking awesome that's nice that's him thinking I wonder if any
game ever did this and search a game listen who what kind of stupid motherfucker
because he didn't want it to be a hardware based thing he wanted it to be
like an easy one and he apparently had this ready from before the new 3ds was
it was announced but he was holding on to it because he wanted to make sure they
released it first yeah that it wouldn't get patched out yeah that being said he
only wants it to be used for homebrew purposes of course not for any
piracy purposes but the gene can't come back out of the bottle once it's open
it's open and that being said it's like like it's it's this weird thing where
I'm torn on this like I don't want mass piracy to hit consoles right but at the
same time it's like when you region lock it and your shit like people want to
just unregion lock it yeah and piracy's a result I go fuck you like you shouldn't
reach for a freeloader freeloader yeah the thing with it is that of course he
hasn't released anything of it you just yet he just came out and said he just
came out and said it and he described you know the the method used in the game
sold out a big way and it not only did it sell out immediately yeah they only
made 20,000 physical copies of the game it's gone wait only only yeah it was
extremely low release and then it was on the Japanese e-shop and then four hours
after he came out with this it was removed from the Japanese e-shop so now
you just can't get this game
20,000 because I saw it had a lot of stores around here like the magic the
magic like yeah I I have my way to play Xenoblade I remember that and that
what that was the most amazing thing because what game what game do you use
to do it Twilight Princess right the most common yeah like unpat and they
didn't have a way to patch games or you know it's like you this will never go
away he was laughing yeah I know but he's laughing and saying like what
if it was like the newly announced Smash Brothers 4 is the game that was used
to you know brawl was one of those games too right but no in this case it's like
even though he didn't tell anyone exactly how it was done specifically it's
pretty clear that it's a working method and I think that like you know the people
some of the people that just bought those copies waiting for the thing to drop
someone else can figure it out based on those instructions yeah you know one
fucking like program shit and Super Mario World in a retail copy of the game
I don't know I don't you gotta look up it's fucking bananas so I bet you some
guy at Amazon is still like why the fuck oh dude that's the most amazing thing
whenever that happens to games like PS like I remember the PSP go had had a
one thing on Amazon words like it's up by 8,000 percent the day that the home
brew was announced but I think I checked on Amazon dot cx I was curious and it
was the top seller in video games yeah period like yeah wow people really well
we have to get started on a secret no the Amazon installments the Amazon
listing within hours just jumped and like it went like they have the thing
was like oh we have these we have this game for sale $50 for new in the box
needed for home brew and then like a few hours later this $99 game is the
only game that you can use to home brew and it just fucking keeps jumping and
now it's just gone you know it's it's not so that we're region lock things don't
region lock console like and also it's like you know if they didn't region lock
them I bet there'd be a lot less of these people trying to crack these systems
there's less reasons to try yeah so I imagine that the last copy gets sent
out into a box and it's being sent by mail and there's just an Amazon guy
watching the truck go away just going shadows and dust Maximus shadows and
dust like was dark Alex like assassinated by ninjas or something does
he still exist will you tell me about that guy that found an alternative to
oil and he just disappeared oh god that guy hey guys I I have a water-based
engine that runs your it can run in anyone's car it's super easy to use
apparently the fucking DEA is interested and they want to talk to me and
some other guys from the government I'm gonna go talk to them next Tuesday he
says on the news as he dies the next day you know fucking dude I found the way
how to hack pacemakers it's super dangerous especially since they can
connect to Wi-Fi so I need to have a speech on how you can hack these things
so we can improve the security dude fucking dies yeah
don't tell people about your projects it's it's like your Metal Gear fan project
your resonant set up the speech go do the speech the speech is done or your
or it but set it to be a scheduled upload and then yes yes exactly or more
more currently the vampire the masquerade remake that that would people
I can't believe they shut that down it was coming over to people were working on
a unity and he just killed it killed it killed it killed them dead can't the
whole team went to went to their houses murdered them damn did they know about
oil too masquerade bloodlines is the most amazing broken game I have ever
seen in my life I've never been able to even come close to completing it every
every every time I try I get a couple hours in and some
bug just stops me but there's even with all the fan patches and there's so much
love that years later people are still like no man we can do it though we can
do it though it's broken at a fundamental level everything in that game is broken
it's unbelievable they were doing it and they just got shut the fuck up
depressing because we know about it that's why it happens because we know
about it that was the first source engine game really yeah wow the very first
one came out before half-life too that's how I mean like really like wow maybe
one day no someone will learn you know just not you just the secret just shut
up just shut up unless unless I mentioned dark Alex a couple moments ago
unless you're living in fucking Siberia where no one can get at you right yeah
it's like we're gonna we're gonna shut you down no you're not right unless the
sheriff is also my programmer like you know the government is backing this like
Siberia's behind this project unless you're some amazing programmer and
also you're not Hannah yeah yeah you know you're not gonna be able to get this
done right it's like unless unless you do that just shut up be be an internet like
ghost man yeah just call yourself sushi X 11 a cabin in the woods what dear for a
couple years and then go back to making you're already too fan we got of course
we talked a little bit about Conrad was revealed I think we kind of covered the
details on that but the stream was pretty fun with the Microsoft guys just
being really candid about everything else that's planned for the KICs and
stuff yeah it's not just hiring mega shill Maximilian Maximilian is on board
now to do some story video editing when I watched his video and he just goes
I'm specifically there for story stuff I could be good at so why don't you tell
max all your ideas and just like do his go straight max job for him I don't think
I could go strike killer instinct but yeah that's he was actually really good
the Microsoft producer Adam not a huge fan of him because he's very like a
marketing type producer I'm sure if you recall but in the stream he was like so
we put out our Conrad trailers really good a and I was actually thinking of
not showing ripped her at all I thought that was a good troll but then when I
showed the trailer everyone in the office was like are you fucking stupid
and he's like oh fuck you but just the fact that they're they're like just
casually talking about Arya and mysterious boss mysterious ghost girl and
just people that are coming and like referring to their gameplay and so much
like oh yeah cinder's gonna be easy to play like right like they just they're
like we're putting it all out on the table we haven't shown you the visuals
yet but we're just talking about it just like said like oh we're gonna have a
stage of a classic rooftop stage we haven't had in the game exactly it's
called the pinnacle and it might be a boss stage yeah you know Tusk and Kim
will maybe not maybe not this season but you know and they're just they're just
really just coming out with it because it's like yeah man we're here to play
open and honest development is best development we're like we're already in
we're in season two of a game that's ongoing you got our money I understand
I understand not showing like the later characters but you can talk about them
and say like what you have planned from like the the broccoli man the stone
golem is gonna be another grappler they just pretty much confirmed and broccoli
man yeah well because his silhouette looks like he's made up
but he's actually stones and trees okay it was a little confused there and
riptor is gonna spit acid and then be a rush down character exactly what match
Ronnie's like I really just want riptor and Cinder to be straight forward yeah
and not have a bunch of weird like you know yeah no just just cinders attacks
were forward forward attack buttons were moving open and community focus
development is the best now that I beat shatter on I want to go back and read
every single Kickstarter update that I did not read about the development I
want to hear like how did you I just did that with the broken age ones and
they're fantastic yeah and I want to do it afterwards I don't want to do it
before cuz then it's like well right now that being said we got some
kick starters of note this week do we yeah a lot recently I got two things up
here I don't know if you've got others besides them but I just mean in general
there's been a lot yeah yeah there was a little bit of a quiet season but now
there's some kick starters rolling around again um I'm totally down for backing
a thimbleweed park the game really pulling it up right now yeah this is a
game being made by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick the guys behind maniac mansion
and in the style of the visuals is the exact same as maniac mansion as well yeah
and they got a little paper filter on it though yeah and they got you guys like maniac
mansion yeah do you like it when LucasArts made quality videos yeah then back
this game because we're making it the the pitch line is it's like opening your
drawer and discovering a game from back then you forgot play yeah no that
that's been like a not that specific but that's been a sentiment for a lot of
these ones of dead genres it's just like this just imagine either that you've
you missed this one yeah or that you're in an alternate universe in which this
genre just kept existing yeah and this is the modern version specifically hey
remember this NES game that you played and you were too young to understand it
it's coming back there you go and you've got the little um you know scully and
Mulder type yeah detectives the murder mystery you know the whole thing's
going on there so yeah man if the words maniac mansion mean anything to you go
take a look so they just passed the other day too oh really that's to them
yeah they're just a bit over it so must have been yesterday or something and the
other Kickstarter of note is Crossing Souls by four attic group of guys in
Spain working on this another retro style game but this looks more adventure
RPG-ish yeah I send this off to you because it's the most remember those
movies from the 80s where a bunch of kids have to do a thing yes exactly and
then stuff like that or even the new new one super 8 super 8 yeah that sort of
feeling in an animated style that reminds me a little bit of greatest
warriors you know there's some moments of like that stuff going on and it's
just retro like you said goonie style thing and it looks fun man um you know
take a look see if you like the style see if you like the trailer you know I
just realized like remember for years like the big wave of Kickstarter stuff
starting like what 2011 2012 my Kickstarter history yeah right I think
I know double I know shadow run was 2012 and that was the earliest of the RPG
ones wasteland and wasteland was 2012 and I think I think broken ages 2011 was
similar to that and goddess as well we were all talking about how basically it's
our there's gonna be like a fucking huge failure one of these is going to be
well we talked about it was the odds cast and and like I remember being worried
that that was going to happen a lot poison the Kickstarter but right now it's
only really been that one and clang that and I don't know and those have been
disasters to be sure but most of them have come out and been great people at
like FDL and chivalry too right where those are the the pre boom ones those
games are amazing why broken age and it's like it's yeah this is a thing and
it's gonna be a thing people are just like when you see a new Kickstarter with
a bunch of pictures of cool things you like yeah you're just too excited you
know what I mean like I can have this yeah I want this and I like you've got
a bunch of change sitting in your your like your account anyway your Amazon
thing just fucking click it in every Kickstarter game that I've played so
far personally I've gone and yeah yeah the ones that I backed myself and like
better saga was one that I didn't know was a Kickstarter game until I was like
four hours into it and then look oh I'm glad they did this well now if that
ever happens to you you'll know when you hit that one room with a lot of random
people's pictures on the wall yeah there's a bit of a shadow run returns
where there's a guy in the bar and it's the ghost of the guy who created shadow
run oh cool and he's just like so I invented shadow run that's his dialogue
okay I didn't tell you how I invented shadow run well there's a rainy Sunday
pretty much yes on that note everyone that's been sending the little things
going like oh my god holy shit look at the new Beowulf characters for skull
the Beowulf color for skull girls the bass is in it yeah I know I know I was
one of those people I'm well aware guys I sent them those colors
looks pretty good and then like two days later passing did you guys know
about this yeah we did it shout out one Kickstarter sure real quick it's been
going for two weeks now but it's a 60-day Kickstarter so I didn't feel it was like
how I said how do people do that choose whatever you want the trade-off is you
have less of a like hype period okay like the ones the ones that are 30 days
you can usually make it as like so I remember eternity it's like do you want
an infinity engine game bam it hit a million in a day remember and then they
were like um okay yeah and so then they had all these stretch goals and the
stretch goals are like we're gonna bring in this writer we're gonna bring in
this guy and they stretch those announcements out over like four days five
days and that kept this like huge huge what I'm trained is not as it's not
an investment of as much as you work harder to make you don't get to hurry
hurry exactly what is it uh clan ad an English release of clan ad that's all
it is they're looking for a hundred and forty thousand dollars they're already
pretty much double that it is like a huge success this Kickstarter and like
they're into the deep into their stretch goals and just check it out that
game's fucking awesome Kickstarter is interesting in the sense that like
when you get a big wave of them like this and you're down to back all of them
it's really like a set it and forget it mentality that you just get into where
you're like oh yeah I back this like two years yeah yeah I forgot oh yeah go
saw sure that usually you know to me you just get pleasant reminders of these
things there's a game called like mech runner coming out in like two weeks or
something I'm getting a code for that and it's like oh yeah it's true and for
me and my email I use is different from my main one oh no so I don't know so
it's like I don't even see the updates constantly so it's really out of
nowhere right you know when I'm in the horrible places like I don't want to
read them anyway but at this point with the amount of games I'm backing like
11 current games right now yeah so when I go into my updates tab on Gmail it's
just like I know no yeah like Mark all is red yeah because it's 17 and they're
all Kickstarter I mean sometimes it bites you in the ass and you miss something
because it's like hey look Matt and I are in Skullgirls in a background but our
names are not in the credits because I just missed that even yeah yeah you know
uh Willie and Liam and I took a look at Pocket Rumble and we're kind of being
around the bush but if that makes it and looking like it will like Zubaz will
be a secret boss character in the game and for those that didn't watch that
video that game also has a couple of other secret bosses like dive kick kick
kick kick the fencer from Nidhogg the guy from I want to be the guy yeah
ace from ace's wild why six yeah so do bad good selection this is like a meat
boy had all those like commander video I want to be the guy guy better have my
crouched hop so if anyone didn't check out that video like check out the game
like that game has a lot of characters but we were playing it down all they
only had two I'm so happy they're trying again they're getting there three
quarters of the way with half their time left yeah I'm really happy they tried
again because like it was really I was like oh I got bummed when you know the
first one didn't work out you'll get bummed if any fighting game one that you
think looks great doesn't how often do they happen very rare and really quickly
the other two are Hollow Knight which is a Metroidvania that looks like twist
insanely twisted shadow planet yep from an art perspective that one looks really
good that's the bug one right the bug which one he's right now we're not
so speed on the animal and the other one was a buck and buck and miles which is
made by the Barkley team well some of them yeah some of them but they have
like smooth Mcgroove is is and and Jake Kaufman are doing the music for that and
that's just a straight up that's a good pair I want to hear what that sounds like
um see Boyard he's doing music too and yeah Brentel floss and a little floss
yeah also that game is just a straight up 16-bit like platformer much in the
style of Joe and Mac and snow bros and you just like a Latino guy with a
mustache and a wrench and a pilot pilot yeah it's awesome dude I love this we
live in a time period in which no matter how dead the genre is it's not as long
as 10,000 people remember are willing to resurrect the cards yeah you can get
some necromancer devs and computer RPG we're like as dead as could fucking be
and point and click nothing was deader than point and click except in
Germany except in Germany it would be great to get that actual Metroidvania
Kickstarter but you know what you know what we're not Pat's bringing this up you
know what we're in the game didn't need a Kickstarter what
Hattiful boyfriend is coming to PS4 and Vita where it was the dating game with Legion
it's meant to be nice I love seeing like little indie games make it all the way
these days that's sick it's all the way to full yeah to everything we got to get
Gilbert Godfrey on that man we got to get it did you see Hattiful boyfriend
you remember you remember Tesla grad Matt yeah I think that was it a kick
start or I can't remember anyway Tesla grad did you know it's getting a
retail release shit yeah I know it's like seeing indie games do that is just
incredible like I was I was I'll go we got he's got he's got a great
okay so the thing that I've been fucking banging pots for for some
time now finally happened by HBO goes on Xbox it doesn't matter we still can't
do anything with it but it's like now that they're actually going oh yeah
let's put it on a console it's like no dude that was on 360 for no no wasn't yeah
not here it's not dipshit oh it's just it's just all it was on 360 we just
couldn't get it in Canada it doesn't matter unless we subscribe to the TV
channel it's useless to us remember no but can't you just subscribe to it like
any other no that's not the thing you're talking about they're going to have
that thing well what was just announced was HBO go as an a video app on Xbox
one yeah in which you can go back and watch your are you going to watch your
weekly game you go back and watch the wire subscription to the TV thing you
have to have a subscription to HBO TV to for that for that to be HBO hates you
willy but they are making a standalone video app like Netflix but it's not
going to be a little ways off and it's not this it's not this this has been a
lot of it fuck well nevermind welcome to the feeling of being a Canadian TV
watcher view wait out like I'm ready and waiting this is the microcosm of the
Canadian TV viewing experience hope that this thing that I am talking about will
be out before game of thrones season whatever we're at whoa in the meantime
let's check out this trailer for iron for mice it looks like those screenshots
we saw yeah it looks good I'm on board I just hope the writing is up to snuff I
feel like it's gonna be I mean they haven't disappointed last tell tell a
game well bad bad writing but the average is pretty high over it is and you
know there's money on two out of three and even walking dead season to the
writing wasn't like painfully no it was just it was just not as good as the
first one or apparently the whole thing you're gonna hang out with Tyrion
you're gonna shit talk Cersei it's all good it's all good yeah if we were to
play that I don't think anyone will be mode if we just talk shit about Cersei
yeah not even the actress not even the actress she's like this rough time she's
too busy in her other movie Queen of Swords did you from pop it in that's a
second that's um it's I know you're talking about that's a black plague or
or but you know the movie was called the queen of or something of queen of play
it was the award of was in it yes it's a pure like it was just the cover of it
was just her sitting on the iron throne but it wasn't the iron throne you were
like fuck this movie capitalized yeah hey so um that me too excitement that
everyone has which is pretty cool thing um maybe curb those enthusiasm a little
bit because that enthusiasm a little bit because they're not working on any
other premium DLC right now yeah so which is like it's funny because the
context it came out in was people are complaining that Nintendo is probably
cutting content in order to sell us premium DLC later and saccharizing no
actually besides me too we're not doing anything right now so not really that's
the weirdest thing that's like that's the why just you two in the meverse stage
yeah I'm usually right yeah I don't remember well well to be fair though
Mario Kart 8 all up until its release date they're like yeah there's no deals
deals right then Mario Kart have like some of the best give it a minute I'll
bet your money give it a minute I hope so man my minute you need two years yeah I
mean I mean six months okay give it a minute because smash as a smash as an
ongoing service you know what I mean well like that said with Mario Kart
initially they said no no DLC planned and then it's like and then it was a
long time driver and villager and it's about and Mario Kart DLC is some of the
best DLC that I've ever seen Mario Kart came out in May no DLC we're now like
six months past May for sure and well the first one came out in November the
second one's next year sometime yeah let's give it let's give it four
Nintendo Directs yeah about that many I'm so bum that Nintendo Directs have
just slowed down because they blow their whole long two years ago like what are
they supposed to show the fact that they don't have things ready it's like get
here's ears of here's a screenshot of a game that has no release date but I like
here's project giant robot yeah I like the trade-off though of this what in this
entire direct is dedicated to one game it's show but everything less of them
to because yeah yeah there has they it's all been slowing down look at them like
month-by-month breakdown on the Wikipedia page that has like a graph it's
great it's like just decline super hard and it's not gonna get up on that white
background and just fill for time exactly tell a joke you just start
singing all green right to you Nintendo Direct with zero content that would be
the great they're getting pretty close to that what they should do that but
just on April April 1st like you just so my kids moved out the other day and at
the end they announced like a Pikmin 3ds theme which is already you know never
mind I want that I want that I want more nothing direct but um they what they
are doing though we're you know what we're probably gonna see a Majora's
master rack at some point absolutely to detail the changes because they they
talked of the way they phrased they're gonna change stuff and we got two
things so far we got a changed boss fight that apparently is going to confuse
you if it's been a while since you've played the game good would you know
which boss they didn't say they said there's a boss fight that you're gonna
play and go wait how do I beat this guy again was what he said and I don't know
and there's fishing yeah fishing in two spots so the world is ending fuck that
shit go catch the Hylian low I'm glad they have fishing because I always like
the fishing in those other games but fishing on a clock where the world is
ed like doesn't matter yeah the world is ending but with a song of time the
world is never ending like you know that you say that because the crux of
Majora's pressure is to help people and to help people with that personal
issues the crux of Majora's path and mask is the same theme of Groundhog Day
you have infinite time right I mean in the world yeah you're absolutely right
how can I who is teaching you to fish and he was inevitably fishing alongside
you is what the fuck no he knows what's up it's always resigned you're like the
moon is looming at you and he's inching closer and closer but then he sees it
you're fishing so I'll give you a minute yeah I'll give you a minute I'll stop
I'll stop my progress just staring at the fish yeah also last weekend it feels
like this happened right after the podcast I think I know where you're
going real midnight that's the good I haven't played that game since weeks
after came out if I go there now I'm gonna have like ten new characters this new
costume is sick too he's the postman lady sexy male the Ilya costume is that
Priscilla yes yes yes it is that's which I love that Minna's weapon is the
fucking mirror yeah it's such a great thing or it's like oh I already liked
the original character in the game and then the reveal is like oh my god she's
the best like what a great character on both sides it's fucking fantastic when
when's Twilight Princess 2 hmm or you play as Midna Lake I just want to play
yeah I guess you can major as Masked Twilight Princess and make it even more
dark and fucked up if there was no Zelda element if it was just you know the
twi twi twilly twilight twilight and you had Zant and you had Midna and a
whole other cast based on like that's strong yeah that's strong you can run
that um you know Zelda we truly are the legend we've got unknown warrior I saw
Plague sent me a photo and it's just lightning saying you know we really are
the Final Fantasy 13 and I just lost it I can't
very literal well if you put the undead warrior and in Hyrule Warriors the undead
warrior already is a Hyrule Warriors who is it it's like okay we don't know
until he puts the helmet on the one who's become a champion of all ages exactly
here on time yeah but he's strong you're so fucking strong that when you die your
bones are like no I'm still gonna do it I have to teach my reincarnations how to
stomp Ganon's ass I think that'd be cool but he's like Bruce still leans like
it's about time yeah it's about time for Bruce well this is a twilight princess
pack they haven't had a skyward sword pack yet was there even one of those
announced at all because they announced the names wrong holy shit oh it's raining
oh it's pouring man the old man snoring okay so I don't make I don't know if
I'm alone on this one I hope you're with me on this pat the greatest limited
edition I like of this generation so far has been announced like that's like
Vita forward 3ds forward guilty year excerpt yeah because of the art the
fucking backyard the book you get is the back that is so cool what's in it
it's okay it's so it's the guilty year limited edition thing it comes with a
keychain that is so bad guys belt it is free scratched on it it's got the sound
track it's got all that good stuff but the case is the the the I have not cared
about a limited edition box since the Castlevania portrait of ruin limited
edition wow that gave you the DS card slot thing you put two DS cargers in the
mail book if that came out here all digital man okay all right I don't like
better the I love Vanna that's why it's funny you say that cuz I love the art
the exit box it's incorrect like the picture of Saul on the front is the
greatest fucking on the other the regular box no on the limited on the limit
okay it's the best fucking thing in the world but I think that's one of the worst
limited editions ever it's a keychain in a book but the book is I know it's a
thing in the plot really I used to be like you and then I got burned on too
many steel books I'm all in I'm all on no I'm like because the backyard is the
most important thing in the guilty year universe it's the entire like it's the
code that the world is built on you're gonna get a really smart small cheap
version of it maybe not we'll pull up the bootstraps and see what we're getting
but I'm super excited for that I also I'm excited just to get the box and cut
that picture of Saul out and just tape it up yeah yeah just do that art is
amazing you know and it's so good and like that's the same part that was it was
on guilty care x1 I want to say maybe I don't know if it's dice games art itself
but that artist has only done occasional special pieces um but yeah the other
thing that this release hark is back to is remember the fucking 12 minute
trailers yeah get for a pleasure we got a nice long-ass trailer that was like
let's take you through everything by the way a demo for guilty gear exert is out
now yeah it's only on ps4 yeah it's the same as the Japanese one so it's
Saul and Kai arcade mode no verses and a full training with all the tutorials now
I'm sure I'm still fucking my dilemma still exists in that I have no main
bike is gone so I don't know what to do just play but Duncan yeah that's my
answer to every bed man they took biking out they put that stupid lolly no
members the name of no what's her name no the wife who the literal wife who she
dressed like a bride pink and white she has huge breasts how's she a lolly who
are you talking about Alfred yeah she's not a lolly no not the last boss
there's a DLC new character that is literally dressed as a bride and she's
got a shotgun she's pretty cool and it's like it's cooler than bike in no no but
it's like I can I'll be back in okay seriously though how many times do we
have to reverse ourselves on this argument whether or not we want new
characters or returning characters but it's always the same because it always
boils down to no I wanted my old character to show up and bike is gonna be
back in the next I'm gonna have to sit down no dude guilty gear guilty gear
thank you apparently not think how many versions of like there's gonna be a next
version of egg there are 1800 versions of guilty I'm just I'm salty I'm just
salty because a bunch of other characters came back but not the one I like
that's all I'm being let me break it down for you will he join me now now I
want my kid right now isn't all bike in then I'm like all right give me Johnny
Johnny's not the only is in but no Johnny see I'm fine cuz you'll see guy
he's awesome oh yeah that guy that old man yeah sure like Azrael to that old man
I mean look I'm probably gonna rock Ramley Thull you know Slayer or sin I
don't know which one yet but I just I want that like I see the character for
the first time and I know that's who I'm gonna yeah I didn't have that I don't
soul and Kai I love those as as the two primary rival characters I think they
are my favorite of any fighting game because they are not mirrors of each
other oh no that's never gonna go away and they're not even like they're not
even great at being heroes no Kai's a fucking monster like they're totally
shit bags when you King Kai the shit the absentee father that's willing to just
sacrifice everybody I'm just gonna lock a dizzy in this Cuba ice cuz you're
bad father that's why you play as Robo Kai his intentions are pure yeah they're
pure and vortex infinitum is the best song on the entire guilty-gear
soundtrack can't bar none I really like all of she you know I don't know you're
not wrong and I forget the name of it but the one that plays in X2 when the
assassins fight each other yeah if you the assassin's guilty yeah I know it's
talking about I mean heavy but but anyway yeah oh man sounds like for this
game it's gonna be so sick did you hear the vocal themes that's soon that's a
month that is the 16th bless bless that a month also get hype Liam I should have
sent you a no spoiler link to metal slug revolution I heard about it this
morning on my phone and I didn't have time to look at it
is a new metal slug game for that is an action RPG in which you can get over
250 metal slugs to follow you around and like attack with you on the same team
for iOS and Android yeah I was about to say that sounds like the cool oh shit yeah
you got me I'm gonna play when it comes out I have to know I guess I guess this
is a response to their their last metal slug game metal slug defense whatever
the other iOS one that was a fucking huge success probably the most
profitable thing FSNK has made in a long time at the very least I'll say that
because metal slug has such simple sprites like when you look at this game it
doesn't look like oh this is an iOS version of something cool it looks like a
metal slug game and it's gonna be its own thing so it's got a lot of hot things
going on though that doesn't mean yeah a lot of bars and numbers metal slug
revolution but you know what a revolution yeah how bold at least this
IP ain't dead right yeah no that means it's dead you know what when that happens
that's the proof you know what isn't dead apparently the next song ghost in the
shell game now this is a weird one because I have I straight up admit I
didn't even know this existed I also have no idea what you're talking about but I
did a good like yeah this would be announced in a while ago and like
everyone's like what's happening and everyone assumed it was gone and then
they just released a trailer for it you fucking just play this this first
person shooter MMO where you play as all of section 9 and like you have all
of the moves you've got fucking togusa you've got the major you've got everyone
is doing the thing and like it just do the thing and then you like and I'm like
okay okay you've got you play as your own character yeah of course you play as
creative character but you but those are the archetypes are all based on the
section 9 guys because it was showing off literally the model of the creation
guys oh okay so then they did a weird thing if it's just an MMO players it's
not now it's multiplayer shooter multiple it's it's yeah okay okay so I guess
you're picking an archetype based on the guys okay all right you want to have
an invisible wall you want to have your I always forget the sniper guy's name but
he can't remember either yeah and then of course you've got your tachikoma is
running around yeah you know we'll see but like from just a ghost in the
self-amboy perspective like it looks like it's not all the stuff now I'm just
waiting for the hyper political subplot that no one can understand you'll get it
for reference Pat it looks a bunch like black light okay but better than black
light okay so and and like when you see the little like Deus Ex style things
happening where it's like you know that the arm that is holding the gun opens up
and some crazy shit comes out of it because you've got arms going like I
just really like that it's just the universe is great and I really like that
that era of sci-fi that like seemed to pee like Blade Runner shit like that
stuff went away for a while and now it seems to be coming back but only a
little bit only a little bit a little about too much you know I hope it comes
out in English because right now it's only announced for China so oh Korea
oh Korea yeah oh well you're gonna see it because it is NC soft you're right but
I thought the voiceover was Chinese anyway regardless what are those two
countries there's no way I can really sell this without you guys seeing the
fucking trailer but the game of the year has been announced yes karate master to
knock down blow I mean I'm gonna watch it right now this thing it's long but
it's like it is a technical fighter but you go through training like
experiences where you have to like do the training you have to be sick it's a
Sanchiro what's it called karate master to knock down blows all right get
this is Japanese game I can't tell you yes you have to fucking fight the bear
to show that you are a true chromatic karate master do a crazy sick jumping
karate kick over the truck just prove to me that you're a karate man why do you
have the follow this if I didn't play karate man one I don't know I'm not sure
it might put you right in the middle of it but there then there's like go to the
bar and then get hit on by the like the off-work ol lady that's like she's
ready men okay I'm getting into this and then you see the fucking fight
starting up and you've got the whole like karate man anime story happening in
the background it's the best no it's just a PC game that some guy made dude
improve your abilities this looks pretty great it looks amazing and it looks
really good I didn't expect sprites when you yeah talked about this and then the
actual look at the actual combat realistic fighting system you've got a
straight-up do real right now he's breaking the bats in half break the
bats with your leg oh this is really cool oh I can get behind us you can
target any body part while you're fighting the guy it's fucking the shit
liver shot liver shot always gonna jump the car game of the year always gonna
jump the car but oh that wasn't an MMA fight get some white high guy oh Jesus
okay he punched the blood out of that guy's face yeah oh there's some hard
hits man karate match versus a bear yeah okay yeah you're right this game is
this game so okay get the fuck in there yeah okay yeah sorry you if you can't
win this year you know you know oh I thought you meant like Eve online no
like implying that it's game of the year every year here no and last but not
least we've got the little twist in that the Carissa gate has been explained oh
no it's been opened yeah exactly it was it was meant to be Chris is actually a
rope it it was meant to be this prank ad yeah that they that game spot was
putting out when you see the ad it's game stop it's a stop right fine and
I say spot again yeah fuck it's dude I do it all the time it's the shittiest thing
it's the thing that doesn't stop the games right and when you see the ad like
the tone super fun and you're like yeah it's like okay this is what they're going
to add just when you when you get the story told backwards with the advent of
Twitter and the hyperlinks and then the machine gets rolling you're like what
does it turn around like that this would have been okay if that ad had come out
by the end of the day yeah we found out exactly and now it's like it's fine
it's yeah now it's fine again it was never an asshole still for dumb babies
and and and little children and marketing people kdj after this yes alright
let's do it but first let's take some letters it's letter time time oh hey
do you guys want to send us letters throw those letters away and get to a
computer or phone yeah and send an email and make sure to send it to super best
friend cast at gmail.com not any variation of those words emails with
different letters exactly the right thing startlingly specific it has to be
super best friend to cast gmail.com if you make even one mistake it won't go no
quarter for you right the word play is nowhere in that email address there's
it's friend cast there's no way make sure you spell it won't get there we won't
get it because poor folks have been forwarding the emails going on I wonder
how many emails we've missed all of that thousands but I want to know the
number well I don't know man when the mailer Damon comes back at them and
goes what the fuck are you trying to do you should realize that you put up
period or an apostrophe instead of a period I fucking love the mailer
stupid mailer dammit okay we got one coming in from Garrett and he says
hey Zybat so I taught my art teacher the anatomy of a duck's dick and he didn't
think it was actually a corkscrew dick and in return he showed me the pro a
comic the pro if you didn't know is a comic book here who doubles as a hooker
it's my question is what is the most fucked up comic book here as you can
think of or whatever the pro is super fucked up if you it's hilarious but it's
oh my god it's dark what can you think of that is equally as fucked up or in
that line I'm gonna just come ahead and put it out there the boys if you haven't
read the boys boys by Garth and it's oh my god the boys how was the most fucked
up like story like setting or most fucked up superhero like just I guess
like just consistent page to page holy shit I can't believe they did that okay
I don't want to tell you anything about the boys but open up the book and see
what's going on I'm gonna be horrified I'm gonna say that preacher is up there
preachers up there it has its moments as it's moments for sure as someone who
doesn't read comics I will say Goku he's an alien what about you just not
answered no no you wish I hadn't answered but I'm I don't yeah I don't read many
comics either but the main character or the main character the main villain from
irredeemable is like super fucked up yeah you told me about that just go read
amigara fault there well I mean I know I love Junji Ito he's the greatest
manga writer in the world you remember the Pokemon already did the other yeah
you did another one oh yeah Gengar and it's way better so check that shit out
anything I hate Junji Ito because he's so good the Junji Ito that is about well
that has that acne scene is what's a hell I read I read Uzumaki in an evening
like the whole thing had just sleep bad everything terrifies me but Junji Ito
does not faze me weird all I love him it's because he picks on specific things
like the acne thing you mentioned and he just hasn't gotten into the needle in
the eye scene yet damn I don't know man don't worry about it dude like you know
the acne thing I'll tip him off I'll let him know don't spoil it we got an
email coming in that look at that oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I've played I
think I've seen that way too fast I didn't even see it I've seen that I want
some spaghetti now yeah don't we all we got an email coming in the dialogue
really makes it I know we got her face is erupting baby but they were in Greece
Steven says hey Zybatsu and especially hello and thank you Liam Sama I just
want to say that a huge thank you last week on the podcast you mentioned near
and how people gave up on the first fishing mission I was one of those
people held on to the game for two years in case I found out a way how to beat
it then you mentioned how you're supposed to fish at a beach far away when
you got the quest I followed by Scott the fish and now I can continue through
the game on that note what games have you come across that are awesome but it
was kind of garbage because it didn't explain a quest or controls well I'm
gonna I'm gonna want to say fucking awesome I'm so cool that my answer will
be reverse of this and people are gonna get really mad at me and I don't
care if you're one of the people who got stuck stuck in Carnival Zone in Sonic
3 because of the barrels moving up and down you are an idiot you are a fucking
stupid moron just hit up and down just hit up and down what are you doing
push up and down on the controller there there are there's a start button three
buttons that all do jump and a deep head on the Genesis controller how did you
not figure this out how how did you do this I wasn't gonna be as critical but
certainly that section yeah it's a barrel um fucking sorry that's been bothering
me for years sure Spider-Man X-Men arcades revenge okay that came to my mind
I don't care who you are me me and Liam had played a bit of that for a super hero
what section are you talking about every stage has bullshit everywhere
well the first Spider-Man stage is really bad into the song but you can beat it
and find the bombs it's fine you just have to use the shitty beeping and you
you know listen to the cool music and you'll find it but once you get to the
unlocked versions and you're like okay go through all go through the gambit
stage go through the stage they're like these are hard but whatever fucking
Wolverine you go through the stage juggernaut is chasing you you claw your
way through the funhouse you get to the end where there's a giant pit of
unpassable like not spikes but little suction things you can't fucking make it
over them and juggernauts coming at you and he's pretty much a one-hit kill
there's nothing to do there's no way to beat the stage there is none I never
figured it out fuck that game so so this is gonna be a cliche but we all
thought we could but we didn't the the fucking dam from Ninja Turtles specifically
played that we all between all four of us we could know we couldn't I am really
bad I almost categorized that differently though because you know where
the finish line is there you just fucking couldn't get to it for just a
game where it's like all right go solve this and you're like but remember we
have plain and we said oh if you press this button or this one you go fast or
slow I didn't know that as a kid or I don't remember like I still think that
right stuff there some levels in Golgo 13 are just like yeah like I love that
game that one 3d maze it's really really tough yeah some of those I have two
actual legitimate answers one is X-Men one for the Genesis where you have to
hit reset second to last level and you do that to get to the end of the game
okay you can't fight like mojo world and a broader answer is every point and
click game ever we're talking about those last I can't I can't internalize the
logic I just can't do it like if you were not there for I have no mouth that
would have been a 100 part fucking else because I can't internalize the logic
if you use glue on cat hair you make a mustache
mm-hmm sure figure that shit out I forget right like you there was an
interview with one of the designers of that game where somebody called him out
on that shit it's like what the fuck were you doing and I don't think he had
like a satisfactory answer because the answer was by the strategy guy like back
in the day like that that was the actual answer like they made the cat hair
mustache puzzle so you have to buy the strategy guy because it was impossible
otherwise you see the thing is a game though like Monkey Island it's like
some of those bullshit ones are part of the joke yeah you know so that's the
one in Monkey Island where you have to move pick up the bass and hound and stick
it in your pocket yeah okay yeah and then walk over to the door and pull the
bass and he just guy brush just looks around looks at you and puts a fucking
dog in his pocket and he's like what do you do it um best best point click
adventure game ever don't shit your pants sure don't shit your pants is
amazing I wouldn't agree but okay I like point and click with like an open I'll
find like mud or whatever but it's like a certain point and click plus an open
type whatever you want command yeah in there don't shit your pants game Michael
so I don't want to make rogue legacy Michael sends one in fucking hell woolly
a few weeks ago and this is to answer a couple of people a few weeks ago woolly
mentioned something about being a platinum games and I was ripping my hair
out when the video shows them there but then he arrives and I was super fucking
disappointed maybe I just over my overhyped myself but damn man that's
fucking bullshit what are you gonna do break another okay so that's what that's
what like there's only so many layers you go back and you let's a couple people
were like you know it's like what the fuck why was why did you go back and
listen to that everyone else hyped that up and said oh my god could you imagine
lunch with Kimia and all this shit or whatever and I didn't say anything and I
specifically it was the problem is that you're like so maybe no cuz you kept
you got you guys kept providing examples and you guys were choking because you
didn't want to spoil and I said I don't want to say anything no and then I
eventually said maybe I tripped across platinum no the problem is is that you
mentioned it I'm sorry but there were people on the internet proclaiming its
fact that woolly ate out with I went and I had dinner with shit because of it
because you guys were fucking joking around here's the core problem if you
say hey maybe something happened about this and don't say it you have created
a mental mystery box sure and the mystery box will start to fill in with
bullshit and now now it is candid that I went and I had dinner with Kimia and
it's like you just lie now you're lying and how you hit it from us yeah it's
just like if you can't fucking listen accurately and fill in blank
information with your own shit I just realized what shirt matters where yes
that's a good shirt through raccoon moon yeah but uh you created a mystique by
doing nothing and the best marketing in the world exactly and I was hoping for
that to be a random moment because the way it happened to me was I was about
to leave the place and then I saw oh my god this is the building we're building
we're platinum is right you know and but like the fact that you guys made that
joke I just want you should have spent three days of your trip hanging out in
front of that door yeah just sleep just sleeping like a little like doorway I
thought about one morning I thought about one morning right around and then
you're like no I don't want to be that guy don't be that guy no but but the bar
in the basement yeah like I said now I know where the gates of hell you're like
Kamiya son what do you think of water world
that wouldn't sync up with the time frame you're right it was before no it
would it would sync up it poorly and then be really good yo yeah yeah yeah
it's true yeah yeah okay so did you design Bayonetta based on the map in
water world or yeah yeah they're like as GP about dances with wolves don't do
this looks a lot like the man oh my god oh my god please you will block you in
real life yeah oh there I got swear now yeah that's true he's he's all down
sorry is our super nice he's our bro now cuz he needs us okay okay I want to
talk to him about how we both did you did you fucking see the series of
tweets with Kojima this morning it was one of the most heartwarming things in
the world what so Kojima goes out on Twitter this morning and says that his
game of the year this year yeah framed on a mate I'm an excellent excellent iOS
game that everyone should play cuz it's actually really good and the guy who made
framed said hey Kojima is like one of the big reasons I'm making games is
amazing this is incredible and then on the Kojima Twitter English account
clearly Kojima typing cuz the English is bad he says now I followed you so you
can DM me whenever oh this is a guy who said it was my child like it's like a
childhood dream come true and now Kojima is like you can just talk to me
whatever you want don't fuck it up guy you met the pressure is immeasurable I
read that and my heart yeah what are you right what do you do your next game
better be pretty good oh god we got one from our good old buddy oivant a little
while yeah that's half my last name so I just I just finished Mushishi and I
fucking loved it everyone told me was amazing but at the start I kept thinking
this isn't that great it grew on me though and by at 15 I was loving every
second nice good shit what what are you gonna Mushishi it's not get it's that
show that I said is like a half hour of Miyazaki every episode okay it's
beautiful not to pull it down by making it to a comparison that's great that's
the right tone what are some of the franchises that it took a while to grow
on you I didn't think I liked Madoka until the last movie oh yeah you
mentioned this series came out and then two games came out and then two recap
movies came out and it took the third movie for me to say yeah I guess I like
this yeah I didn't the only reason I pushed through is because my girlfriend
loves it so much I didn't think I liked Full Metal Panic until the second gig
okay yeah this for Metal Panic season one is just anime whatever then Fumofu
comes out and it changed your life and it was hilarious and really well
animated has almost nothing but it's like it's just jokes it's nothing and so
then you realize that's because they took all the military action stuff and
pulled it into the second gig which is unbelievably amazing so yeah Full Metal
Panic is a slow burn but man is it good for me I think I got into Harry Potter
around the fifth book wow and that's like after that's after the movie start
then I went back and then hours did you spend getting up to the bits that you
didn't like how many what man hours did you spend all of the man hours like I
watched the fifth movie then I watched then I read the book then I went back
started reading the books listening to some audio versions to then watch the
rest of the movies who could first two movies are really awful who could have
predicted Horcruxes everyone I don't really have anything like that I
usually like can feel it like right away whether or not I'm gonna like something
yeah that's the game version right but like show it's like I don't know I was
I was told by many people to check out one piece and that is garbage for like
55 fucking episodes it's terrible but then and then it's good it's like enough
to watch 400 more episodes does I watched like 180 more versus the draft
happening the good part of the bad part the good part okay all right I'm not
there yet that's a spoiler isn't isn't the bad part just like meeting Nami and
Zolo the bad part is meeting the cast yeah and it's not even the extended cast
no Tony just Tony Chopper shows up later yeah it's like the primary cast and
that's like 50 fucking episodes and then you get to a point you're like oh my god
this is where the story is actually just gonna start at this point so one of the
one of the funnest things with Japan was like at first I'm just seeing one
piece everywhere and I'm rolling my eyes like oh my god we get it and then I
just accept it and I'm like now I'm just looking at these spoiler characters
trying to figure out like what the fuck yeah and I look and I'm like I see this
guy that looks exactly like monkey but way more badass yeah and I'm like oh
that's older brother okay sure he turns into fire sure physically man I went to
Montreal Comic Con and that point Pat watched 180 episodes and he saw this
poster of a bunch of characters and we all go whoo and I don't know who they are
they're fucking idiots it's one piece and we're like no it's not it's one piece
300 episodes from where I was exactly where they have like Frankie and shit
like that probably probably at the moment that I turned from like this is
watchable do I actually really like this show was one smoke there's a guy named
smoker and ace they fight smoker turns into smoke ace turns into fire and they
do that and they fight for like an episode they go this is gonna come no we
can't be do anything marine guy yeah yeah it's like we can't physically hurt
each other at all sure so I guess we'll just leave just leave bye just give up
yeah give up it's fights pointless yeah basically what happens to Keody already
every year yeah point like I can't your fire and my look fuck this it doesn't
hurt us stupid but I hate you Joe stop following me then fucker if you hate me
so much why are you following me look at my pants they have a little strap
between them not more though no they're gonna change
chef Chevy yacht just wants to let us know that there's a pretty good Japanese
curry substitute that you can order from Amazon called S&B Golden Curry it's a
few believe you want to try this out it's not as it's not as great as being
there and getting the real thing but he says it's a decent substitute from
Amazon dot CA let me see because that sounds familiar but that's I really
appreciate the time spent actually going to Amazon dot CA because most of the
time on the internet people like oh yeah you get this cable for $4 yeah here's the
Amazon link oh well not only is it only Amazon dot com but it's Amazon dot com
and it doesn't exist on Amazon I saw this at an IGA like near ish on the
West Island so I'm gonna give that a swing actually it's awesome okay yeah
yeah so if someone's recommending it to me by all means I'll just pick it up
next time grab me some thank you sure no problem okay from some dickhead has
there ever been a live event that was streamed that really disappointed and
angered you guys and then he gives a description of how there's a band that he
was really into that streamed because a member left the band and so they were
gonna have an event called we are speaking out and then when they when the
time came they just played a third new song and didn't explain what happened or
why so I fucking nothing went down and then the event just ended so nothing
happened at the event yeah you hype up an event and then you watch it and then
fucking nothing I have to say that we've gone to a panel or two at a con where it
was like and then it was fucking nothing which is kind of disappointing but I've
been sure a lot of people have that what comes to mind
isn't that Hulk Hogan thing not so that Hulk Hogan thing wasn't as good as you
that make but I knew that I knew that because I've heard Hulk on the radio
before okay that's how he is what are you talking about a brother went to that
reboot panel that was really nothing I mean it started warming up but
eventually I was like all right let's go you know but the yeah as far as a
stream goes well it's been a lot well let's just roll in every shitty E3
conference right away sure you throw Konami up there no you're right that's
not disappointing you're all the way back around the standard of which all
conferences that where they said they were gonna announce a new fighting game
and then we got three seconds of dengeki bunco yeah was pretty rough that
was oh oh that that thing where Capcom was gonna announce like the first time
in 15 years new Capcom 2d fighter and Sengoku Basara oh yeah remember that
they hyped that shit all right well which makes sense for a Japanese stream
because Sengoku Basara is super popular there unfortunately yeah but it was
written in English so what the words Sengoku Basara get hyped for
15 years since the last half on 2d sure but if you really wrote that in
Japanese I would have been able to read it sure so a lot of TGS streams are
really disappointing because the vast majority the the the culture feels
really different as far as how TGS streams operate we're like they'll have
like five Namco Bandai streams over a weekend right and they'll be on
different topics and different like branches because the company is so big
and you'll you'll go to one assuming they're gonna talk about like a new
game in that series but it's they're actually just gonna talk about the game
that came out like it's an interview like a one-on-one yeah yeah but there's
they don't say it's an interview before they get there you know what I mean you're
like what the fuck's the point of this so there's a couple every year at TGS
where I'm like yeah yeah yeah and then I get there and it's like more interview
and it's like I don't I love what the opposite happens when you're watching
like some sprite artists do sprites for their game that you want you want to
check out and they accidentally open the wrong file it's like oh shit what was
that you know or I think hi we saw orchid second costume through a leak
or an accidental character so like yeah or something like that yeah like that's
always great I think it was just orchid yeah I forget which one it was but
that's always great yeah it was what orchid look like great yeah that that
that's bad and we'll take one last one from Jason who's just wondering I'm
gonna resist there what what the fuck is what is Kirby is easy because you have
a layer of pink furs you a ball of flesh what is he well first you draw a
circle and you draw some eyes this is answered in the cannon he's an alien
he is a cream puff this has been answered way way back in Kirby's dream
dreamland for like the original commercial they straight up to tell you
he's a cream puff that's all you need to know and in dream land or they don't
mean like the insult of your little cream puff you're just like a little wimpy
guy oh he's a literal cream puff and he lives in dream land where cream cream
puffs can live they can be sent here and be alive I never heard that thank you
yeah that's all he is a cream puff that matters well he's not lying he's
a cute confirmed he is a puff 15 years ago yeah and sometimes when he travels
to America he becomes an angry also according yeah right back at you yeah
Kirby's got know that you know I didn't know that I also didn't think it mattered
you know like well now the real question is what is meant species species is
listed as Kirby's species like what's what's his deal you know like what's
his where's the mass he's an asshole what what grew up being an ass he had a
bad breakup what was that break up what's what's the you know girl left him
yeah who because she liked Kirby more yeah and so he became emo and found an
army and built a fucking album wouldn't where do you get the sword
dude I found it he found it on Kirby no you've been doing it for five minutes no
he just walked out he was walking down the street and it was just there on
ground he picked it up yeah I'm looking at it and there's at least two official
things that they're either like Star Warriors or puffs because they're both
official okay well they're Star Warriors the earliest fucking games or like he's
a cream puff the earliest and right American commercials for that and get
back at you has the galaxy soldiers slash Star Wars do you know what it
actually is the Star Warriors thing is that Kirby is Goku and Meta Knight is
Vegeta yes no for all intents and purposes but I'm like were they brothers
with yes they are the commercial in question specifically says the pink puff
which is obviously referring to Kirby because the other ones are different
colors there is a commercial that says a cream I'm talking I don't know if you're
wikipedia squirrel is going to tell you that Kirby wiki sure this fucking no
but I'm telling you what I know from my time from a commercial from 25 and that's
Ken in a shit and I don't care what you have to say you know what you would
actually say we're actually seeing that 25th little 25th anniversary Kirby book
that came with the collection I should check that out I got it I have it some
or two yeah that might say maybe I flip through it but Kirby TV show where Kirby
couldn't speak and he was just this fucking stupid bluff thing right that
would that would fight it was that's literally what it was so weird dude that
that's where they said there was galaxy and the kids were just like fuck are you
it's like dude if you want to explain the origins of no more heroes and it's
waggle-based swordplay don't don't I want to read that I was playing with my
dick crib notes it I'll give you I'll give you one quote from him it's one
sentence that kind of motion is very Travis all right so I was right I was
totally right that's the crib juvenile fucking touchdown yeah yeah all right
touchdown shake battery flashlights that's the crib there we go what is on
the watch I'm gonna now I want to be playing two RPGs at a time now for some
reason cuz I fucking hate my life yeah I'm gonna go for the two most extremes
of the Bioware spectrum right from first to last like I want to see like how far
they've come and like I was looking at the the thing it's like they're like 35
party members in Polaris gate one like they've definitely been toning down on
content a lot of dragons in your life right now yeah dragons I don't know if
all this game has dragons in it I don't play them play the play a dragon
everything at the same time I don't know if all the dragon dildo if you want to
have rain of fire if you want that deep just get to play a unique dragon get to
play as Christian Bale no I think you just play as a truck Matt fuck you
every time what shitty ass movie has the best dragon mechanics
we've talked about it probably happen every time we bring it up because it's
so true the dragons breathe fire because there's little glands on the sides of
their mouth that mix chemicals yeah it's like it's like it's the villains plan
from die hard three yeah and then the breath spews it forward like a like a
bomb let me know and they mix and it causes combustion it's so cool well
maybe we might take a look at rain of fire and then Christian Bale hits it
with a hammer yeah it does yeah I'm gonna be playing RPGs all right watch
dragon heart I know the second one no we could play the dragon heart game I've
got around the last one fuck you I got WWE 2k15 against my better judgment and
I'll put some time into that Liam saw me boot it up a little bit yeah just to see
what the grappling's like and as soon as you grapple it's the entire sequence
it's a sequence thing and we couldn't figure it out I heard Dan record on John
Lucas describe it as a lock-picking mini game yeah it looks like it but who you're
kidding Matt it's gonna pay for itself who you kid so I'll be trying to I'll
try to look at the creative wrestling tell you yeah let's finish off guy if we
can yeah that's right geez I thought you did we did to we did we got to the
the third way telling you said you had one more session last time we didn't do
it okay I told Williams already but I was looking through some of my shit that
I brought back from Japan yeah and I had intended this as a gift for a friend but
I guess I left one aside I found some common writer guy in Gumi's yeah I'm
gonna bring those next time let's eat them got some Gumi's juicy and what is
coming up on the site
is coming Dark Souls will remain the fall still thank you for everyone's
advice but we're we're you know we're doing okay we're doing okay and we're
closing it out so close I saw some people saying they were gonna email us
about the fall how it was gonna get really obtuse we're done with that's
really yeah so like sorry I'll be like on gaff right and somebody will send me a
message with like all this really genuine advice and it's like dude I'm like
four hours past the episode yeah yeah like it's I already know the advice
she's told me or it's way too late it's not that we don't want your advice just
the timing that's the thing is that if we stream more things that's where that
becomes really yeah where people can tell us what we're doing wrong which is
many things I think me and Willie have a video a one-off coming up on Thursday
which is very hard game but it's full of surprises and today I believe if you
guys haven't seen already we might have a little very fashionable video you can
live-action thing check out live-action fashionable video and also this weekend I
guess maybe not this week but maybe the next week we ate a lot of cereal we ate
a lot sir yeah the links drop you go to yeah honestly it's serious this will
haunt us forever for sure someone someone said the cool thing and with
remember how we were talking about how the overlords and guys look kind of like
devil triggers and stuff yeah so you would I look like that's like the new
so the guys the guy that designed those apparently designed the new villain
further the latest Sentai show yeah and this is what he looks like oh let's take
a look at it this is playing really oh yeah that looks like a Nello Angelo
that's fucking cool right Nello Angelo's fucking face yeah no what a bad
ass that that's the TOQ devil trigger great more or less what's going on there
I think that's fucking dope I want I want to see more of that in the end game
of guy hopefully that comes yeah yeah that big bad looks lame where do you
think the squid guy yeah that's good guys cool though it's the legs that throw
me off the super fat legs this way no anyone off what's this squid he has to
