Well, Liam, episode 134 is an interesting number.
That's the exact same way you've done it before, but it's more potent and funny now.
This is next level.
Now it's not clear why it's next level immediately.
Not to the listeners, though.
But it will become apparent why this is actually the next level.
So, hey, Liam, you asked what's up with episode whatever.
Well, he has an answer for you, Liam.
Yes, it's her no numeric fact.
The theme is not invigorously.
That you need to know about is that former running back George Reed of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders.
As we know, one of the teams in the stupid league that had the same name as the same as another team.
Yeah, well, these are rough riders are sure given it to these rough riders.
How many provinces are there?
13.
Too many so that we're 11 and two territory.
Too many.
We're going to do.
We got to double up on those names.
Rough riders are like 10 fucking teams in the league.
George Reed.
Imagine if imagine if DMX showed up and he's like, no, I have a third team.
The Rough Riders.
Fuck it.
It don't matter because the CFL has bigger balls and less downs.
Yeah, wider fields.
Is that what you mean by bigger balls?
No, the balls are literally big.
Oh, wow.
They can play faster.
They inflate the balls larger.
Yeah.
And you have three downs instead of four.
Yeah, exactly.
So you notice more when Brady tries to deflate them topical.
On top of that.
George Reed had a career record of 134 rushing touchdowns.
Rushing touchdown.
And that's a really good sports ball fact.
You know, tell you what?
George Reed.
Yeah, when did he leave the Rough Riders?
He had a cool.
Like the pitchers in black and white for fuck's sake.
How old is he?
He was an all star from 1965.
Jesus.
And I want to say that lasted till 1975.
So he had a nice decade long career.
That's a good one.
Yeah, it's a good one.
Back in the old days when you had the old black and white photos
and pretty much no helmet, really, just a glorified hat.
Just an upgraded.
You know, it's you know, it's for pussies helmets.
Yeah.
Bam.
Okay, that guy's dead.
Who wants to wear a helmet?
Everyone.
Remember that Canadian moment commercial
where this dude's taking all these pucks to the face?
I think they're like, let's put this Jason mask on.
You see if that works.
He's like, we should actually get this to everyone.
I forget that player's name.
But I remember that he got hit in the face of the puck twice
or more that like nearly killed him.
Yeah.
And when he put the mask on nearly every single guy in the league
was like, oh, that's for babies.
What an idiot.
Look at that loser.
And he's like, whatever.
I'm not dying unlike your goalie who's out for a full fucking
season because his face exploded.
No, he has a cold.
Hey, man, has nothing to do with it.
Aiming for the head is a legitimate strategy back then.
Back then strategy because then what?
Who's you're going to be still is now, but you got to use the stick.
But guess what?
At worse, they replaced the goalie with a not so good goalie.
Yeah.
And if anything, the goalie just swing in his head too.
Yeah.
He's going to take all these pucks to the face.
And at least all that's happening is power meter is getting full
and he's not dead.
Yeah.
Eventually you run out of goalies and then it's a free net.
Yeah, free net.
So actually how it works.
It's like mutin link back in the day.
That's the history of the face mask, everybody.
Man, if the world gets irradiated, I hope the best thing that comes out of it
is mutinley.
Isn't that the history of literally every mask in every sporting event?
Yeah, it's all equipment.
Someone just said, you know what I'm tired of?
All of this damage to my face.
Well, like if you take it back and I mean way back, the first sports
were about taking your clothes off and being naked.
Right?
You know what's a good way to wrestle naked.
Yeah.
Distract them.
Ew.
Whatever.
I'm going to punch that part.
You're going to pull on it.
There's more moves accessible now.
It's weird that we're talking about sports ball because I was actually
reading up a lot about sports ball right before we came here.
I was reading on my phone about that basketball man, Stephen Curry.
Yes.
That man is good at baskets.
You're on Twitter and you see someone that's trending.
You're like, why?
Yeah.
No, it actually was that thing.
It was like, okay, what is this?
Well, that's why we fought him in demon form in the intro to NBA 2K.
Yeah.
I was like, what is this?
Why is this so good at making baskets?
Then I saw a chart of three point averages.
I was like, okay, that's...
Yeah.
What?
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
That guy's on drugs, I bet.
What's cool though is that in some of the later games in the 2K playthrough
where it's like, oh, Rage dunked a bunch of, he sunk a bunch of baskets
and whatever, but your defense was shit.
You still played poorly because sometimes scoring is not all there is to it.
Yeah, no, scoring is all there is to it.
Well...
If you score more baskets, you win.
You win, usually.
You win.
Yeah.
You win the sports ball, apparently.
Yeah, like, there's something to that where the other day on the giant bomb,
they were just like, I fucking hate people who say sports ball.
And I was like, you know what?
Like, I want to say it more now.
No, but they're super right though.
It's like, we know, we get it.
You don't like them and whatever.
But there's something like, I don't know.
There's something super douchey.
See, here's the thing.
I always get it.
I always viewed it in reverse.
When I say sports ball, that's putting it on me that I am ignorant to the max.
That's what I assume seems like a sports ball game.
I don't want anyone to get confused that if I say anything about regular sports
to not listen to me because I'm an idiot.
But what that's become in general is kind of like...
Like, don't just be good.
Yeah, geeky culture.
We don't know nothing about that.
Okay, well, I'll have to think up a new...
You know.
I'll just, instead, just continue my general confusion over the rules.
Yeah, sure.
And I mean, for me especially, it's kind of like, yeah, oh, hey, sports ball.
And then someone sees a picture of me back in my uniform in the day
or one of the fucking, like, trophies at my mom's house and goes,
what the fuck are you talking about, Willie?
But that's because that was the phase where you were trying to fit in.
Oh, I was growing up and I didn't realize...
I played soccer as a kid and then I realized, fuck this.
I got kicked out of...
Look at this Ninja Turtle game I could be playing.
I was signed up for every single sport possible
and I got kicked out of all of them for fouls.
For those things you did.
I played one game of cricket.
Cricket's fucking...
Cricket was enough.
Like, we're gonna...
Nobody understands cricket.
We'll lock baseball for being boring,
basketball for being boring,
hockey for being too violent,
and soccer for being filled with cowards.
But I don't even understand cricket.
Well, first you gotta have the wicket.
Yeah.
And you put the sticks up, right?
I'm done.
I'm already done.
Now, you have to be on the pitch and you have to bowl, right?
Bowling's all right.
Bowl the ball down.
I'm all right with bowling.
Then you have to make sure that you run to try and touch the wicket
after you hit the ball.
But you have to run on the goat shit that fills the fields
every couple of steps, right?
Now the goat shit makes the traction harder
to really get a good grip.
So you gotta get those cleats going.
So you get your soccer cleats on.
Guys.
The Grenadian goat shit, let me tell you,
will add extra difficulty to scoring when you play the cricket.
So you guys may have noticed that when you come over to my house.
That's how you play cricket.
It's when you come up.
But here's the thing about it though.
Then you take the bat home, right?
It's not really the bat.
But you know the bat like fit.
You take it home.
The Wiffleball bat.
All right.
It's not the Wiffleball, but then you get yourself.
Softball last night.
But then you get yourself.
That's good.
I slept like seven hours.
A Casey Jones weapon.
So I have some new tech for you guys.
It's a White Paddle.
Life hack.
Big damage.
All right.
So you know how my bathroom has that shower facing the toilet?
Sure.
And when you turn all the lights on,
you're forced to confront yourself.
That's what cricket is.
Yes.
You're forced to confront like everything that you're doing.
There's a large mirror.
I was listening to the John Baumcast a little while ago
and Matthew Rory, known many days of shower,
was talking about dark showers.
Showers in the dark.
Oh, yeah.
OK.
Dark shower.
Are those part of the dark event?
No.
No, no.
And then I thought of something.
You know how I can stop myself from seeing my reflection
in the shower when I'm going to the bathroom?
Turn all the lights off.
Just go to the bathroom in the dark.
It's a good, it works.
I don't like going in the bathroom in the dark
because there's mistakes that can be made.
Let's rewind just a little bit here.
Like right, right, right to the top of that.
It's a net positive.
Going to the bathroom, you see yourself.
OK, yeah.
So my toilet in my bathroom directly faces my shower.
OK.
Like you've been there.
You know what I'm talking about.
You sit down in the toilet and if somebody was in the shower,
you'd be looking 100% straight at them.
Oh, look, it's taken the shower.
And if all of the lights are on in that bathroom,
your reflection is clear as day in that shower.
So you're in the shower door and you're seeing yourself.
You're forced to confront everything that's going on.
Now, what's the problem?
That's too real.
That's too much.
OK, but this is different than what you mentioned,
which is dark showers.
No, hold on.
We're going to go back to our showers.
Hold on, hold on.
The worst part about going to the bathroom is everything.
Sure.
So the more that you can distance yourself from the act
and the more that you can pretend it's not happening,
the better.
That's a little much.
Yeah.
So if it's in the mat of all people,
it's a victimless crime like punching someone in the dark.
Yes.
Nothing bad happened because it was in the dark
and you couldn't even see it.
You're a lights off kind of guy, aren't you?
Oh, that's not necessarily.
No, that's because that's some shit.
No, no, no, that's some fucking bullshit.
Look, we thought you got to grab it again.
I want to go back to dark showers and dark showers.
Dark showers are a little dangerous for me.
That's a little crazy.
It's not too bad for me, but now I've got it down.
Pat, is it sometimes you wake up in the morning
and it's kind of dark?
Yeah, a lot of low light.
If you had like, you know, school or like somewhere
where you had to be like a nine to five job.
I've taken dark showers where I'm like, no,
I have to fool myself into thinking the day has not yet started
and the best way to make you think that the day has started
is turn the lights on the bathroom.
This is the first thing you do.
So yeah, I want to take that bright light and you just go,
no, I want to be in this sleep mode as possible.
So you turn off the lights off.
But that, yeah, Pat's right.
That is dangerous.
So I sometimes I had a little flashlight or some type of thing
and I pointed somewhere not near the shower per se,
but some place to give me a point of reference.
And then I have literally what could be the most like,
uh, okay, relaxing shower.
You can't. Yeah, totally.
And that's a dark shower.
So think about this though.
When you're in the like, say you're in the shower regularly,
right?
How often are your eyes even open?
They're not.
He's totally like your eyes are like closed for,
let's say 95% because you're putting poison in your hair.
Yeah.
No, you don't want you don't want soap or shampoo to get in
your eyes and it hurts.
Baby shampoo.
What are you?
Well, I'm a man.
No, man.
No, I'm a man and I'm going to go to the bathroom in the dark.
All right.
No, I use baby shampoo because other shampoos are bad for dreds.
I didn't know that.
Okay, fair enough.
So here's the threads are for babies confirmed.
Now, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when,
when you slip in the shower in the dark and you can't see
what to reach out to save your life and you fucking hit your
head and you're bleeding out shower runs over your,
your body.
That's how it's going to happen.
Hopefully your last thought will be,
I should have turned that light on.
No, it's going to be holy shit.
People are going to find my naked body.
No, you know, it'd be your last thoughts going to be fair
enough that no, like, like fair enough.
This is appropriate.
This was my design and as to your question as to lights off,
lights on, lights off seat.
No, that's not applicable because we're talking about things
you should feel ashamed of like going into the bathroom.
Uh-huh.
Right.
That's totally natural and fine.
That's good stuff.
And are you saying there shouldn't be any shame otherwise?
Because sometimes some, there's shame involved in some
scenarios.
Well, if, you know, if you're doing it wrong or doing it
right, well, it depends.
You know, it depends.
Whatever floats your particular dark boat because if you're
one of those people where it's like to get lights off,
get the, just fuck the whole, forget the whole thing.
Everybody go home.
There's no point.
I've reveled in all my dark showers.
Unless, unless you're one of those people, it's like,
I don't even know what's in there.
Just hit those, hit those lights and dive into whatever.
Well, that's a whole other scenario.
That's a whole different scene.
That's, that's a tactical like light out.
Yeah.
No, it's like, it's no good.
If I can see what I'm getting into.
It's the opposite of a flash bomb.
Yeah.
I know.
Sometimes you got a dark bomb, but yeah.
No, dude, the end bomb in fucking perfect time.
Yeah, I know.
Suck all the light out of the room to fully enjoy it.
I will agree.
Uh, but the thrill is somewhere else.
Entirely.
Yeah.
No, the, the, the, the, the dark bathroom.
It's a good system.
All right.
So how do we evolve this then?
Let's move into some dark cooking.
Shall we dark cooking, dark cooking cook?
That is, well, that is.
Well, why stop there?
Hold on before, before, before I get that knife.
Hold on.
Get the chopping board on the heat before we continue.
I should mention that yes, the lights do have to go on for
certain like, yes, certain things to happen or else mistakes
will be made and that's no good for anybody.
There's limits.
There's limits.
Man, there's that restaurant downtown called Oh Noir here.
Oh, fuck that place.
I hate that place in the dark and you're served by blind people
because you can live a moment just experiencing what it's like.
Hey, you know that thing?
You know, that's down now.
Yeah, I don't think there's, you know, that thing where they're
like, Hey, I lost one of my senses.
The others are stronger.
That's bullshit.
So, well, depending on who you are.
So why don't you, why don't you push?
Why don't you push open up a hotel?
Yeah.
Dark hotel, dark hotel, dark hotel.
And like, didn't you go to one of those for fun like six months
ago?
I think you're thinking of an escape room.
Yeah, I'm thinking of that.
Yeah, it's not the same dark hotel.
Yeah.
But why stop at food or the bathroom?
Why not just live that dark life?
Okay.
Well, food, food is like, well, that's a little, that's a little
any, any knife or fire involved like, come on, let's be real here.
You can't, you can't endanger yourself for the, the, the, the,
the joys of comfort.
Okay.
Dark comfort.
Like you can't be cooking eggs in the dark.
That's crazy.
You can if you're crazy.
I don't know, man.
If you're brave, vampires have to make stuff in the dark.
Yeah, but they have night vision.
It's true.
Yeah.
You know, and aren't you talking about like dark bathroom time,
no matter what you're doing in there?
No, no, that's what I, that was what I was trying to get across.
It's like, no, if any aiming or if any aiming to start, like if
any aiming or placement has to happen of things, lights go on.
You got, cause the crosshair has to line up.
Yeah, totally.
Then you can turn the lights off.
Yeah, fuck it.
Just, it's fine.
No, that's what, come on.
Then you turn the lights on, you look and you're like, oh,
what do you think?
I'm crazy.
I don't know.
Give it a try.
You'll like it.
Take a dark shower at the very least.
Take a dark shower.
I'll take a dark shower.
Here's the cra-
Okay.
I'll try a dark shower.
No.
Yeah.
This is where I draw the line.
What?
The dark shower has danger elements and yet you will try that one first.
That's crazy.
You have been living in a certain place or you have a bathroom you're very
comfortable with.
It's not like you're going to accidentally shit your bathtub.
No, honestly, my biggest-
Except for that one time.
My biggest problem with the dark bathroom trip is I can't read my shit.
Oh, yeah.
That sucks.
I never do that anymore ever since I dropped the phone in the toilet.
Yeah.
Oh.
That was a couple of years ago and I just dropped the phone right in the toilet.
There's all these things.
There's all these things you can do.
Like all of our girlfriends.
Good job.
You don't make it pitch black.
You open up the door and there's a light source down there.
And then you can at least have, again, a point of reference.
So you know where you're washing.
I actually returned that phone to Future Shot.
Did you?
Yeah.
Here's my shit phone.
Yeah.
I had bought it that day and I was brave enough to get it.
Very brave.
The instant it hit the water, even though it was completely submerged.
You should get a bag of rice.
No, it had been before anything had happened.
Yeah.
I was getting ready to take a piss and I had put my phone down.
I was listening to music and then I turned my head and whoops.
And then I was like, oh no.
And I got it.
And even though it was completely submerged, the tab hadn't tripped.
So I returned it.
And after I returned it, it was like, hey, is it possible to drop these down the
toilet and like not have the tab trip?
And he's like, no, that's crazy.
That's impossible.
You put this in water at all, that tab will trip and you'd never be able to
return it.
I'm like, okay, cool.
Wow.
You're really cool that day.
No, I wasn't.
I dropped the phone in the toilet.
That's the least cool thing ever.
No, it's cool.
Don't worry about it.
Everyone's saying.
It was a clean toilet at the time.
Oh, yeah.
You say so.
You think they have that like little chlorine tablet that tells you.
That is exactly what I'm talking about.
Yeah.
The phones have chlorine tabs in them.
Oh, so they have that.
The litmus tab.
Okay.
So that if water hits it, that's how they tell like, you guy, guy, you dropped
this in a pool, didn't you?
So what, you just got lucky?
I just was fast and got lucky.
I don't think that's how it works.
Not fast enough, apparently, to completely avoid the situation.
Whatever.
I solved the problem.
Yes.
Now, and ever since then, you can't take anything in the bathroom.
So it's a constant danger.
Or you can just do it carefully.
No, you're not.
No risk.
Or all of our girlfriends.
No risk.
Wait.
Do you know any of our girlfriends drop phones in our toilets?
They all did.
Oh, did they?
I don't know.
Was this like a cabal thing where they hang out just talking about, man.
Let's throw all these chopper.
Drop in our, our just phones in our toilet.
Something is something.
No, I think we were all talking about how girlfriends drop phones.
Yes.
Yes.
We were mocking them for all smashing their phones to fucking pieces after the stream.
Also, Liam, right?
You smashed your phone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He smashed his phone.
He smashed his phone for you.
He smashed my phone.
It was for you.
His phone.
It was for you, man.
It was an accident, though.
Oh, I'm sure that's what our girlfriends say.
Hey, guess what?
I still don't have.
What's that?
The photos from that fucking thing.
Oh, great.
Wow.
What a champion.
You know that awesome guy that we all loved?
No, that guy was just-
Where the fucking photos at, motherfucker?
That guy was a cunt.
The ones that everyone hurt themselves to get to take-
The ones that I did not get to drink and eat for while you guys were having fun?
The one where the guy came up to you is like,
you need to take your pants off so I can take photos of your pants.
And I was like, okay.
Yeah, I guess I'll have to.
No, no, no, trust me.
Can I have those photos back?
I don't even remember when we got married anymore.
Fuck my life.
Where the fucking photos?
Fun fact, that guy tricked you.
He just took those for personal use.
No, there was no film in that camera.
There was, though.
That's the problem.
And he showed me the photos.
He showed them to me on his camera at the time.
And I go, oh, fuck.
Those are good photos.
He was just a guy with time to kill.
I was telling him all about this.
I'm like, I'm so pissed off this guy.
They hate this guy.
And he shows me the photos.
And I go, oh, fuck.
Those do look good.
I'm, but I'm not allowed to see him.
No.
Fuck that guy.
Hashtag, where are my photos?
Where they at, though?
Anyway.
Liam is sick.
Liam's super sick.
I hope he gets better.
He's got Lyme disease.
But he's nobody.
I should give him.
I should call him up and tell him the miraculous healing
power of the dark bathroom.
And then he'll be back sooner.
He's doing the double sick thing, though,
because the girlfriend's sick, too.
And so he's got.
Oh, they're bouncing off.
Remind me not to go there.
Because, like, he was sick and he could make the stream.
And then he came to record with us for a couple things.
And by the end of it, he looked fucking dead.
And I'm pretty sure, like, we knocked all the recovery out
of him on that day.
Yeah.
So he ought to take a couple days off and just, like,
just, like, eat Vita juice or whatever.
Yeah.
Just squeezes Vita over his mouth.
That's what you get when you don't have a big immune system
gut like us.
What?
I don't know.
Neither of us.
See, well, you and I take different steps to avoid disease.
You constantly immerse yourself in it by bugs attacking you.
Yeah.
Well, OK.
So you know how computers, I stopped turning them off
because when you turn them on, that's when the problems
happen.
Yes, correct.
I applied that.
And I tried to explain to you how, like, weird and short-sighted
that was, and you had none of it.
It's either turn it off every time or leave it on forever.
Don't do the in-betweens.
That's when it's worst, right?
So I took the extreme of leave it on forever.
So how does that apply to life?
Well, that's how I run my immune system basically.
That is bordering on as long as I don't go to the doctor,
I'm fine.
Yeah.
Which is my method.
And it works super well.
Early detection, early dissmaction.
Yeah.
That's what he says.
What's that lump in my balls?
It's a happy face.
It must be my third ball.
It's a fun one.
That everyone has, right?
It finally descended.
That happens when you turn a certain age.
Yeah.
Anyway, what did you actually do with your wee boy?
This podcast is a mess.
It's a big, fat mess.
It's the good kind.
Well, here you go.
Here you go.
I did nothing.
Good job.
He worked.
I did nothing but work all week.
That's true.
And it was good work.
I got back from the MAG Fest.
I did work catching up on videos and editing and shit.
And I went to the gym.
I did some more boxing and then I continued working.
All right.
Well, I know there is something I can talk to you about.
Work did play this week.
And thinking how street fighter.
So that's one thing I did get some time in.
But at MAG Fest, like outside of MAG Fest, not really much.
And you're saying there's this cool dude that was like, dude,
I had a lot of matches were willing.
They're all like 50-50.
Yeah.
So what we did was there was like, I probably got a good
collective, maybe eight to 12 hours of play at MAG Fest.
And that was the only opportunity I knew I was going to get
for some time.
So I just took it.
And yeah, I just got the right settings happening.
Whereas like I just sat down with somebody who had a main
and just batted my head.
But that bashed my head against them for as long as a set as we
could do until our bodies collapsed.
And it's like, that's how you learn a matchup.
And so yeah, I got to do that and had a good time figuring
what was the matchup you were playing against the birdie guy.
OK, so fuck and then shit.
Then the next night I played twice as long against a Nash player.
And are you for real?
Yeah.
Those exist.
And I was like, all right, cool.
God damn it.
Got it.
Sorted.
Great.
Did you spend all your time fighting the Cowleys?
No, actually, I have not played nearly as much as I thought
I was going to.
There's a couple reasons for that.
The first of which is like the matchmaking is very improved
since the first week.
But it's not nearly as fast as it was during third beta.
The third beta was like 10 seconds between each match.
And I was able to play like 100 matches in like two hours.
It's much slower.
And that'll improve over time and whatnot.
But it's taking me like multiple minutes to find a match
every time.
And I'm spending a lot of time on my phone.
So the drive to just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
is not as strong in that situation.
And the other reason is that there was a guy on NeoGaft
who was like, yo, man, Pat, let's have some matches.
And that dude is like number 400 in the world
and blew my ass out so fucking hard that I got salt
and haven't played it for like four days.
Oh, wow.
Cool.
OK.
Izmica is like, it's a feeling I haven't felt in a fighting
game in a while in which I know the things this character
can do.
But I don't understand what's happening to me right now.
Right, right, right.
OK.
Like there's some fun stuff when we did the Secret Stream
and a couple names showed up.
Kenny, I fought Kenny for a bit.
That was fun.
And then Steve came up to avenge my defeat of Kenny.
And Steve totally did because like his reuse is super aggressive.
It was fun.
Also, Guardian E showed up.
Oh, yeah.
And I got to play him for a bit.
And then like, it was funny because I was like, all right,
you should rep.
I don't know much represent NeoGaft to me.
Show me what NeoGaft has.
Guardian Ian DeBomb are the two like guys that probably
exemplify that shit.
And then after the set was done, like I went over to the thread
and all I saw was everyone shitting on Guardian E super
hard for losing.
Yeah.
They're like, you fucking failed us.
They will never notice this again.
That's great.
It was really fun.
No, man.
Like all I can really say is like, yeah, it's there.
It exists.
And like there's a part of me where I'm going to kind of like
tag into a letter that we got sent in, which was someone
going like, bring back the old gimmick.
How have God blighted the Zaibatsu?
And I'm like, I have a blight this week.
If I have to.
What is your blight, sir?
And the blight is the fact that like just due to scheduling
and things, the first major Street Fighter Montreal tournament
happened from in Montreal the same night as the dark
dead, the Demon Soul Street.
I should mention that you were the one who scheduled that stream.
I moved it up to Saturday because Sundays was difficult
for a lot of people.
Yeah, I know.
I'm just saying you're the one.
And I moved it up.
Yeah.
Well, because the announcement wasn't there at the time.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah, I know.
And and there was and I moved it up to five o'clock
because, you know, Liam wanted to be able to get home and time
and stuff and you guys as well.
He didn't show her.
So but but in the end, in the end, it was just like as a really
just unfortunate series of events.
And I'm like, fuck, like the ultimate like you are washed up
and you're like you're like what you're like 30 years old now.
Yeah, that's it.
No, but I thought that was four years ago.
It's always been it's always been that's it.
Like I've never expected to really go anywhere, but I just
wanted to participate in the community.
Now that we're adults and we have jobs and we can't participate
in the community, but that means you have to coordinate with
them to that you like because the stream is longer than
anything else we do almost.
It is.
Aside from maybe the podcast and even then that's a little
so you have to coordinate and make sure that you don't schedule
it at the same time as any other major you're hoping to go to.
So I'm going to be trying to do that from now on.
So I have like a kind of weird tie in that that fits there
and it's part of the reason why I didn't play that much SF5
and it's because in my mind that game is there forever basically.
Yeah.
And I can it's it's all like any single day I go it'll be there
and it'll probably have something new and awesome in it.
But that FF 14 patch came out right now and progression on that
is happening right now and I have finally taken the fucking
final step.
I'll hail the cult of the new.
No, I've taken the final step of like I'm in and I'm probably
can't leave because I have formed like a static group that
meets at certain times during the week a blood packed on on
certain days to do thing to progress and if I were to say
bail on that then I'm an asshole and like I'm in there now.
It's a dedicated section of your life.
It is a dedicated three hours to spot you have this this and
this have a raid slot.
I have a static yes and once I was that I was like I was really
excited to do progression for this for this this patch and
then I had set it up and we all started and we're all doing
it and then I realized like explaining to my girlfriend like
oh yeah, no, I can't talk on the phone from 10 to one because
I'm in a dark shower but yeah, no like and like those times
are very very late at night because otherwise I would not
be able to do it period though.
The one thing that like kind of keeps me a bit like ground
and I'm like fuck I sucks that I have to work and I want to
play so bad is that like I would be at least keep up with
like information and news and like event hubs and SRK and
there's a lot of stuff coming out and I want to go go ahead.
So I was very frustrated after I got blown up and I got blown
up harder than I have in years mentioned that and I was like
okay community you've got resources.
I've got time what do you got and I was very frustrated with
the the specific level of community resource in that people
have just skipped the early bit of a giant bomb described it
as like the first third of the ramp is not there.
Oh yeah for sure and the first like okay Charlie it's like
or Nash rather it's like counter hit setups and and frame
traps like no no this isn't what I need right now.
I will very much appreciate it that later I need to know and
I'm having trouble because I'm pretty sure my game plan is
wrong like it's like Mike Mike yeah or what to do right what
to do is wrong and this is the best it's ever been right now
this is the most information we've ever had out there and
honestly that video that we kept referencing back to where
which is like here's how you put together a game plan.
I forgot the guy's name that put that together for the Sonic
move not Sonic move but it was a video that was like here
there's a guy who has a Charlie who has a soul stealing
Charlie yes soul stealing Nash you type in soul stealing
that channel is that some of that guy's doing amazing well
those are the first videos I've seen where they're actually
talking about and he's talking about here's a here's a Nash
you can play that focuses on meter denial and here's a man
you know and here's the deal is that for people that don't
have that like ability to put it together the only place you
get you pull it from is from watching tournament so here's
the deal and this is why I want to give big ups Capcom may
have skimped out on a few features during its initial
release but if you go to Capcom's YouTube channel those
eight minute videos those eight minute videos are exactly
what I needed they are they go over the good normals that the
prior the general I did shit dude it like I watched I watched
the Nikali video right away official yeah and and the guy
is talking like Nikola Nikali's jab is terrible yeah and it's
like I needed this I needed a simple overview yeah to get my
head in it the other thing I did was I bought the digital
Prima games guy I also did the same thing I haven't opened it
yet but I hear good things it is it's quite good yeah so and
it does the same it has all your frame data for normals and
that's not for me anyway it's not like I'm gonna dive in and
be like this is this I could beat this but it's it's in
situations in which I can go okay I'm being blown up by Mika
let me ask somebody and I they will tell me they will say her
her drop kick when she hits you is plus five on block right
yeah so you need something faster than that and I will go to
Birdie and I will go what do I got and the answer is nothing
and at least I know that now the fact the funny thing is that
when you started it by saying like you'd go in and you'd see
the second half of the ramp which is yeah counter hit setups
and frame traps and you're just like what and it's like
that's not what you need right now I need I need it to me
I'm like I want I go straight there because that those are
the building blocks for everything else but everybody has
a different but yeah you just you need to understand I need
I need a overview that I can plug things into yeah and and
once I have that yeah fine whatever I'll practice my
execution part of the reason why the third first the first
third of the ramp is missing is because the FTC like again
with all these resources out there's a part of it where
it's like you got to do some of the work yourself is kind of
how a lot of people feel and a lot of there's a lot of people
that are like inventors right and like there's others that
wait for characters to be quote-unquote invented yes and
I fall very strongly on the second half yeah and even when I
talked about Hearthstone like I was talking about using
pre-built decks and stuff like that and the first half is
the virtue for a lot of people for that oh absolutely I wish
I had that mentality if you think about Rufus before J
Wong started the dive kick nemesis you know game plan there
was just a whole lot of Jesus kicks and that's all we got
you know but then he invented Rufus proper you think back to
pre-Corota Q in which Q is not worth picking yeah and then
and then Corota just blows everyone up or pre-Aegis reflector
you're in it's like oh this character is alright I guess
what no this character is the best that's exactly it waiting
for it to be invented and you're in the early game so very
early so you're so you're never you're not going to see
anything close to a complete character just yet you're
going to see ideas of game plans and the ideas and that's
all I want until yeah and so if you're like me and you kind
of need a little bit more go to Capcom's channel those videos
eight minute videos are really fantastic for for for baseline
overviews and they're slickly produced only I'd say about
them guide guide doing the voice act the voice over pretty
tired sounding yeah pretty pretty pretty uninterested you need
that rock star documentary video game guys no the most
interesting guy and no no no rock star video it should just
be combo fiends like he's busy yeah I'd sense but I thought we
were talking about bringing back the guy from the Street Fighter
two tips video no I mean Mr. Serlin how like no the guy that
big the guy that was like no it was Tomo was with him 90s kid
but 90s kid going like oh my name is Yonda yeah watch out for
my 100 and slap we did this last time and then and then I and
then I talked and I you know I do all this I'm talking to the
guy who blew me up and he's like and then at the end of the
conversation he's like well don't feel bad I've been playing
the cracked beta for like eight months oh yeah I'm like well
fuck off no no no those guys are getting called out on every
stream so you guys don't know sword art but there's a term
for these people it literal exacter and they're called
winners yeah okay they're beta testing cheaters yeah winners
so shouldn't you be like one of them no there because I I
played the betas when they existed I didn't play the betas
when they didn't exist they're getting called out a lot a Z
on the streams is just pointing out the fact it's like oh wow
that looks so crisp it's almost as if he had more time it's
almost as if it's almost as if he practiced every day for a
month before this time on the clock we release exhibition
today yeah a Diego ran a stream too which was kind of fun to
watch it was interesting although like extremely formal and
extremely Japanese and not at all like used to like twitch
culture I hello now I will do the dragon punch well he had a
room full of people and it was a very like it was a very like
scheduled event type thing you know and but it's interesting
that he's doing it and I certainly hope he continues to
did they stall for four hours before showing the thing you
wanted it might have no that's not that Japanese it's not
you're right could have been worse Japanese stream ever
could have been worse Alice and Capcom just mm-hmm but Japanese
casuals have a charm to them we're like you know like as
something amazing happens the chat and everyone else is going
holy shit but the players but the players themselves are just
going like oh man you want to you want to get into like
Japanese player culture shit I've been looking at MMO stats
lately and the fucking shit I've been finding out is staggering
the fucking the staggering so you look at you look you can look
at clear percentages for servers do it for certain raids
because they have achievements associated with them and you
look okay let's compare the top like super rage Japanese server
called Chocobo and you compare it to like Balmung or whatever
okay it's 2700 to 800 that's that's a difference of like 5 to
10% of the server versus I don't know 0.01% what are those
numbers those are clears on the particular raids and then you
look at like okay well how far do I have to go down in the
Japanese server list until I hit what is would be the number
one Western one oh you have to go down like 20 yeah yeah you
have to get to the point where you find out that only the top
three Western servers would even like be even the worst
Japanese one and then you see these screenshots of what the
party finder looks like on a Japanese server and they're like
a hundred fucking lists of hey we would like this to do this
and learn these phases and do this and then you look at the
fucking Western one and you see gold sellers selling runs and
you see guys that don't know how to clear fights asking to be
carried and it's it's a fucking mess a quick shout out to
tool assisted this dude that was doing early beta his name is
literally to literally he got to it first fuck off those not
only did he do a lot of the early beta frame data scrounging
but he created what is essentially bonus games for ranked
matches where every once in a while you'll fight against a
tool assisted bot that he has running I like that thing and
it's straight up like it will do this if you do that and it's
like it's an input puzzle it's a puzzle yeah and you can solve
it but it's fucking hard you know and he had a gif bot and
he had an infiltration bot and all kinds of shit was him that
had the infiltration runs all the box runs all the box all
the box max ran into him on on the beta yeah and it was just
like huh that win I don't think that's infiltration right
and max figured out a way to just stand in a certain place and
the bot just froze that it's a puzzle it's a puzzle match in
the middle of your ranked battles great so enjoy that before
we get to what's up with Matt let's take a quick word from
our sponsors so Willie um I had probably one of the best
sleeps in my little night last night did you last night are
you sure I I I was told you man you can't go you just went
right to bed I remember having a really dull dream but I feel
like my sleep could have been even better so you just had the
best night sleep in your life and you're still disappointed
I'm sure I can do better but I don't have a way to do it you
know that's that's I just gave up on sleeping because I know
I'm never gonna that's what I do yeah that's a shame because
why cuz cuz like I had the roughest night of sleep I this is
right literally literally dreamt that I was on a ship being
sent with a crew of people to a mansion with Xenomorphs running
around inside of it all right that's bad it was but it was
a pretty terrible dream because we're unequipped and we had
nothing that was what and like I had bad sleep and it was a
really rough night because this has been a very busy week of
work and everything's awful but I woke up and I felt fucking
great and here's why why dude what you know like Casper the
friendly ghost the friendly mattress company this has nothing
to do with that not at all no it's not okay this is just some
good ass mattresses happens to share the name and they send
them to your door and it's an American like in the mail in
the mail the mailman brings a mattress to my mailman is like
an 80 year old man it's a no they figured it out mailman
super they have it it's all folded up on itself and fit into
a box and then that box rolls up to your door you open the
box up right where you want your bed to be and bam expand
this is just kind of like flops yeah it's a lot of people
say that there's a fair price for these mattresses but if
you're going to like describe that price what would you
describe it as a what type of fair price is it we're talking
extremely fair at the store shockingly he met shockingly
fair shockingly fair shockingly absurdly fair how fair so fair
that you can try out the mattress for 100 days and figure out
whether or not you even like it 100 100 days always like
really gets me because 100 days is is more than a quarter of
the year they could have capped out at three months but
like they could have done 10 days but maybe maybe you want
that extra week and a half to decide like you know there's
no one there is no one on this earth who's getting day 99
and still undecided you're right no and you're also getting
in at a much cheaper price than the usual mattresses that
they offer if you go down to the store plus you got to like
listen to the store guy yeah and then like maybe you can lie
on the bed like you're going to store you've ever been to a
mattress store it's not a good time I did that I'll lie down
on the bed the mattress I did that not on recently and the
worst part was you're testing the mattress out and people walk
in and they see you doing all your weird sleeping shit oh
yeah well not me or but you well hey need a moment I need I
need some moments so that's you're especially going to be
someone want to do that stuff in private yeah so you know
what much better than your the mattress stories your own house
yeah and your own house will never be a mattress store to you
if you head on down to Casper dot com you can pick yourself
up but they have all kinds of they have all different sizes
the mattresses so you pick the size there's many different
body types in the world exactly and you know right now you
can get 50 bucks towards any mattress purchase if you
specifically go to Casper dot com slash super best and you
use the code super best so make a cheaper mattress even
cheaper get 100 days to try it out you don't like it they
come they take it they give it they donate it to charity they
get it out of your hands no fuss no must no problems win win
win win there's so many wins all we do is win win win win
DJ Khaled wants to know and I've been sleeping with a shark
recently because we have that big like plushy shark sharks
need a good many and Vinny is very very choosy about the
ocean floor is very very comfy not that sharks sleep really
but if a shark was no they can sleep while floating around
yeah but if a shark wasn't floating around the next best
thing would be a Casper mattress shark would say man this
feels like I'm floating around in the ocean yeah so head on
down comfortable Casper dot com slash super best from a code
super best thanks Casper thank you Casper thank you so right
off the bat off the bat opening up this loot crate starting
strong I see it's a big zombie face I like it in bambos
like the scent of death it's what have laughed in the box
waft is it waft waft waft waft waft waft waft waft waft
I got a loot crate exclusive dead pool in his white
or the white one is crazy that's like dark X 4 so much nicer
than the red very wow and he's he's jumping away getting
propelled by an explosion yeah yeah yeah it's a little little
that should be dead pool at ease yeah I guess though there's
a possibility of getting a white variant if you get lucky I
suppose that was kind of hot right now everyone did you hear
I heard that that pulls hot right now what else is more money
than any R rated film ever fucking didn't hear we got it
not yet a sniper on a whole dead pool shirt and is it full
on Deadpool box I wonder there's got to be some walking dead
because we said it was dead but haha it was Deadpool Deadpool
shout now for tacos and he's coming out of the circle
that's Deadpool I haven't had a taco in like a couple weeks
you know now that you've seen death really overrated the
hard shell is soft shell soft shells alright it's a bit more
manageable no wait wait I'm liking the hard shell more
because you find it hard to eat yeah no they're both fine
it's just one has a bit more that just wants to like the thing
you hate that's right you know what else is manageable what's
manageable so on a rope Darrell's Walker ear necklace told
you so whoa if you want to that is like the most inside
shit ever that is that is blockers if you but this has
some applications we were just looking at a game that's to
have somebody around their neck so this actually can be
part of something special if you want to go in for reels yeah
it's an ear necklace that's fuck clean clean my asshole
wash your asshole with it it can hear you oh I heard me
ocean we got the dead loot pin of course it's a loot crate
that's actually a mummified great I like that pretty cute I
like it we got walking dead McFarlane really construction
sets what you construct a dead McFarlane I'm not 100% sure
oh they're like little figs let me see if they're little
figs they're not many things but they got little they got
like realistic yeah McFarlane's been like trying to miss
though they've been doing walking dead for a while you
those are those are pretty good interesting and and that is
our dead crate very dead so that's an example of what you
can get in the loot crate and once again we're talking less
than 20 bucks a month 488 items of a given theme and if you
head on down to loot crate comm slash super enter the promo
code super save three bucks on a new subscription they're
guaranteeing 40 puts of value guarantee or something okay
wait that doesn't make any sense because you said you pay
like under $20 you pay under you get some value or 40 that
doesn't make any that's crazy and and if it turns out
they're wrong you're going to have them dead to rights on
that we're practically giving the cars away basically they're
dead cars though and just now and now we've got confirmation
that the next theme month is versus and as previously
mentioned it's going to have rivalries such as that we've
gone through we've got the the Dark Knight man steel alien
one that matters to me better you got all day there to
approach everybody on your universe spot and very
original has that mustache it's going to be like alien
versus predator you just open up it's going to be DVD of
a requiem and God had a devil hand what we don't know
this is a bad suit versus use to buy as Rihanna versus Beyonce
I bet that second to last one you mentioned probably not going
to be another maybe only one way to find out and that's a
sign up at Lou crepe dot com slash super promo code super do
it before the 19th at 9 p.m. Pacific and you'll get in on
that versus crepe maybe we'll be waiting inside that crepe
maybe we'll be in there fighting possible with little
loose to buy as we hate you so much used to buy as we'll
shrink ourselves down to create size oh it's good and then
we'll battle inside every crate at the same time oh I'm just
figuring out as I go that's fine figure it out we'll figure
it out thanks great thank you look great
sup sup what you met I am I'm I'm telling you what's up with
me and what's up with me is that watched a bunch of shit as
I as I normally do I mentioned before finished the X file
season 10
it's weird oh really that sounds weird it's six episodes
long so guess what in some episodes they tried to mix a
bunch of things together it doesn't quite work out I feel
like that's not long enough if you want to do anything other
than a cohesive fox was very I don't know it's we don't want
about money for six episodes the fox was like we don't want
to resurrect the most successful program we have ever had
not named the Simpsons is it long enough to fucking show
our mushroom trip it is but that episode is actually the
worst one oh that's the one I saw the gifts aside from that
sequence it's not what it's about you know what I mean
I was hoping for mushroom Samba do the actual thing is just
it's so weird that episode and that part itself like cut out
it's like oh that's hilarious we can make memes and gifts out
of it but other than that oh no they're self aware
no they're they are and they're not but again it's the last
episode where Chris Carter is really like give us more money
and it ends on the most cliff hangary thing ever because
he's trying to bait Fox into giving more money yeah another
six episode season which never works it never works I don't
know it's it's really like weird and so Chris Carter sees
the Twin Peaks is coming back yeah and says boy you know
that show that got taken off the air for 20 years and that
last gamble didn't work I'm going to try that yeah no one's
watching harsh realm maybe harsh realm maybe if we put a
cliff hangar oh no so it kind of you know I still recommend
it the the the monster episode is so fucking entertaining
that it's worth it but you know like be prepared for an ending
that's just not an ending what if I've never seen the X files
really it'll be incredibly confusing then because it assumes
that you've seen everything which I have even done that oh
boy that's have you not watched X I have seen like four
episodes you saw enough to know that the X file the FBI is
called the X file it's almost like a Star Trek thing when I just
I caught them both it rose me too when it was airing I was like
a total coward and couldn't handle even the like even the slightest
amount of blood in anything that's crazy and and even when I
stopped being a massive coward I I had like that bad like oh I
got scared watching it once it's it's actually a surprisingly
gory show like compared to like a lot of stuff you see today
like yeah yeah no but it's still gory it's gory it totally is
like shockingly and I just never got back around to it but
it's it's on the list of things to do because we occasionally
watch like you know the old ones here and there and they're
still endless entertaining but aside from that what I did delve
into which I don't think you guys did but I was just like
Fuller House let's do it shit I didn't do it yet but I'm totally
oh dude I'm gonna do it Fuller House though yeah yeah yeah so
the thing with Fuller House is that how do you actually do
this how do you take the cheesiest most templated sitcom of
all time and this I'm gonna say of all time I think you're
right right but I still have very fond memories of I have a
suspicion that the answer is you double down
you do but how about you break the fourth wall and sometimes
the characters look at the camera and sometimes really and when
I say sometimes every episode they take massive digs at the
Olsen twins and constantly shit on them for not showing up
wow it's amazing you know it's a shame we couldn't get the
whole family back together but you know some of us have to go
to crack rehab stare just take out the crack rehab oh really
and you're exactly right they're busy in New York yeah yeah yeah
but the weird thing is that Mary Kay and Ashley Olsen are
people in this universe they're not dead they're not they're
they're celebrities in their universe oh they blew up as
characters from full house no no their own separate act actress
twins that have an empire aside from the house and it's not
so Mary Kay and Olsen Mary Kay and Ashley and whatever yeah
are separate from their own characters in universe correct
sir but but baby whatever her name was I forget cuz they
it was only those are different it was one kid it was one
they can't have they can't have one kid working that many
hours so they always have to get twins so there's twins in
this new shoot twin boys now I'm not sure if you know this
but there's not I wouldn't say a Bain switch super but Jesse
Uncle Jesse and the main father and and and Joey and all
that cool yeah cool yeah they all appear sporadically they're
not the focus it's it's their daughters that Bob it doesn't
have got the energy to hold it back for anything longer than
10 minutes anymore every every second episode one of them
appears again to be a foil and I want to think that like a lot
as more sets you ought to know set cool yeah in his place
yeah and drain the soul out of him you know what the show is
actually really good good there's there's a child actor
that's kind of cringy but I mean that's to be expected the
actual thing is just like it's so classic sitcom but there's
enough like modern shit to go that's funny and I've laughed
being stupid Kimmy Kimmy is Kimmy but she gets every punchline
right gets all the punchline yeah because they since they get
Mary Kate and Ashley Olson she's the thing and the girl that
plays Stephanie nowadays they they go they they in the in the
show they go look at your tits they're huge everyone points
at them and talks about them that's amazing we're all adults
we're all adults now I know but it happens well it's strange
so I'm enjoying that me and my wife she look what's black
books you black books they're books that the stripper has
black books and you look in it in the mayors in there black
books is the fifth invisible member of the Cornetto Trilogy
or along with spaced black books is the other British sitcom
that had everyone in it had Simon Pegg had Nick Frost I've
never even black books on Netflix it's new no it's old it's
old it's like 90s okay but it's it's on Netflix I will highly
recommend it because if you enjoy the Cornetto Trilogy hey
man it's everyone's there Simon Pegg appears Nick Frost appears
the main girl from space is in there and it's just drunken
Irish guy works at bookstore called black books he has three
friends and they all get drunk and smoke and have misadventures
I watched it years and years ago and we watched it again like
over the last is officially the same crew as well or is it might
as well it might as well be yeah it's it's like all all the
British warriors are there and it's it's really like again
three three seasons like six episodes per season yeah you
can blast through it I watched again I was like I hope this
one of my favorite jokes is like the main guy who is actually
the nerd that gets torn apart and Shawna the dead you know
that nerd yeah I know that guy he plays a strunken asshole
of course he does he is because he is is England yes he has
this line where he's trying to fake to pretend to be a lawyer
to scare some guy and doing what he wants and he's like yes yes
if you don't if you don't do what I say you'll be spending
the next 20 years in the electric chair he's like the next
20 years yes right it's a brilliant line so that shows
really good we want we burn through all that like two days
can I ask you guys a question about space did you guys see
spaced you watch space we watch it after Shawna the dead okay
but you both of you watch and you haven't you watch it yes
so okay do you watch the whole thing I think I missed an
episode here and there okay so the girlfriend I we started
to watch spaced and we were watching that first episode
and like does it ever become not like completely fucking
God awful yes okay because that first episode I don't even
think it's God awful but is the fucking it is the most boring
fucking thing in the world it's like they're gonna pretend to
be married to get the fuck usually you need to watch more
than one episode of anything yeah but but I've usually felt
that like if I watch the first episode and it's like it
repels me violently that that's probably I always say give it
for like am I missing something here isn't my favorite thing
of all time no but I mean the British humor is also really
like British sitcom humor specifically is very touch and
go and that is true have you watched any other British sitcom
so I used to watch faulty towers back in the day what about
it crowd I've seen some clips from it I T crowd and I in
particular the that Irish fuck whatever his name is pretending
that he's in a wheelchair to get a girl that he likes and
getting caught like using the help button in the bathroom by
a bunch of security is one of the funniest things I've ever
fucking seen. Sounds hilarious when Larry David does it.
Yeah. Oh Larry David do a similar thing. Totally is an episode
of where he pretends to be disabled or where and then the
guy in the wheelchair rolls in and then so he has to go into
the palsy walk. I really that's what that's from. Okay. I
really need to get back to Caribbean enthusiasm was just
so hard to watch. So hard to watch. Okay. Sorry. I just want
to find out if space has a dramatic jump in quality or
something. Is that I like space is not my favorite thing and
when I tell people like yeah spaces is pretty good. They're
like what space is the best so you know there's there's the
fans. That's why I was so confused. The I guess the majority
that I was talking to really early about is I just put like
20 hours into Far Cry Primal. You like that caveman shit.
I like that caveman shit because I was telling you that
unlike Far Cry 4 which is like do you want to do everything
you can do to stop Pagan men do you want to be a nice cool
like just you know leader and like it always kind of through
those two things over and over and over again with the two
mission givers or the thing I like about Primal is like
survive. Is it about like hey instead of taking down the
sky do you want to smack rocks together or make fire?
There's there's two warring factions the guys that eat
people which is not that much of a taboo at 10,000 BC.
That's fair. And the Iggy Aizelia clan that loves fire.
And they what? Yeah. And then you just fight them and
that's that's the story. How fancy are they? This are the
Willie will know how fancy that tribe is because he was
getting into them. There's a little bit of some some. Yeah.
I mean Willie took a look at that game. You guys are going
to see that soon but I played 20 hours of that according to
my profile. I played 20 hours according to his profile.
He played 20. Account shenanigans. So I'm really
enjoying that. I also like as Pat I guess may well depending
on your week. I put a look at some time it is super hot.
Hey if you were to describe that game in one word what would
it be? Hot. Brief. Oh, I was. It's super hot. It's super
hot. That's that's it's one word. You could make it one
word. No, it's not. There's two different fonts. You're
wrong. Willie. I don't want to hear this. Make a clear
separation. All right. Fine in two words. Whatever. Super
hot's awesome. I can't wait to see them. Very good. I can't
wait to see them take this idea and make a game out of it.
It's an indie game. That's not full price. I know exactly
but that's what I mean. Like I can't wait to see what they're
I played a bunch of it like right before coming here. Sucks
that that crack came out so early. Yeah, I know. I can't
I played a bunch of it right before coming over here and
got a lot farther than we did in the video that will be going
up in the relatively near future for it. That that story
hook of the crack and the hacking the people servers that
goes exactly where I want it to go because when we first saw
each other, it's just super hot. Would you even think that
there's a story way before I way before there were trailers.
I played the the the original Unity demo right and I would
never have thought that that game would have a story. Anytime
something introduces itself as basically a puzzle came in a
way like you don't expect any kind of container like that. No
and they picked the right one and super hot that in case you
don't know it's hotline Miami from first person with a
different aesthetic and instead of having the superpower of
seeing top down, you have the superpower to freeze fucking
time anytime you want and the abilities that you get or the
shit the the gun throw is really good. The body possession is
really really solid that and there are more up at there.
Yeah, no, but it's my possession is just enough. Yeah,
it's just enough. Oh, well, I saw it in in Bunny's review. Yeah,
I I played Demon Souls. Yes, you did. And I liked that second
session a lot. Standing you to Latria was rough. Like the
first time because it's the longest most confusing fucked
up level in the entire game. Yeah, I got I got someone tweeting
at me like when my sword got broken, a lot of people were
like, Yay, when I fixed it, they're like boo. And I was like,
well, it's new to me. And it's like, and I know where that's
coming from. A lot of people are sick of seeing that's coming
from everyone uses it because it's the best weapon in that part
of the game. And it's like you watch too many Demon Soul
streams, bro. If you're like, oh, this sucks. It's the same
things. Like how many Demon Soul streams have you watched?
Is the answer more than three? Yeah, and then you've probably
watched too many. I don't keep watching ours though. I would
love it to be interesting. I also like to know new things.
It's like I can feel it right now when I when I play Dark Souls
3 and just go straight to a power weapon. People are gonna be
like, Pat, you always pick power weapons. Like, yeah, I do.
So one thing I'm noticing is that in a lot of my fights, you
see me, I'm abusing that parry, dude. I'm abusing it. What
parry? Not the parry the the the the fleck thing. Oh, the wait
the floor the bash. Yeah. Yeah, you like the guard. Yeah, you
like it fucking. And I'm like, I don't feel like the other
games that I've seen even better in Dark Souls one. And it just
felt like in DS2, it felt like way more finicky. It's it's
it's the longest shit in the world in DS2. Yeah, and obviously
Bloodborne, you just get rid of that entirely. Well, it's shooting
the gun. Exactly. And but that becomes harder and non
specific. Yeah, because some shots don't work in under certain
frames. So, you know, like it feels like like demons just go
all in and abuse it. And I did I guess I I thought about
playing some fire watch once or twice. And then I kind of got
bored just thinking about it. I had the exact same reaction
where I was like, I should I should play fire watch not I
want to but I should because everybody's really like and it's
so it's pretty sure and I want to know what and it was it was
charming when I went through a little bit. I was but I just got
bored thinking and I was like, weird reaction, very weird
reaction. When I finished my first session, I was like, I
want to find out what happens and I finished in two sessions.
Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, I mean, it's like the the impetus to
even start. I'm glad though at the very least of anyone's
opinions on it. It was a huge success for the company and
oh good for them. Yeah, absolutely. No, and I and I'm not
at all, you know what I mean? Like I'm not even saying like I
don't like what I played of it. It's just like the continue
well, I guess on that, I haven't even bothered to pick up
Street Fighter five because I'm like it sure because you're one
of those crazy Alex people. I like I like the character.
Well, me me and me and you like your you like the characters
more than me me and Billy characters more than the spoke
about this like not at length but for a few minutes at the
end at the very, very, very end of the stream and I was like,
I was like, I don't get you fucking people at all. I'm
totally baffled and he and he explains like I play Street
Fighter to play Vega and I play I play or Yang and to play
them like they are in this form and if they're not there,
I'm out. Yeah. And that that and you're you're not all the
way there but you're similar with with Alex. I think this
what I just said sums it up even better. Yeah, you know,
you're right. That's that's totally some I was like, do
you play the game for the character and the game is but
you wouldn't think that if you didn't at least think that
the base game was good. Oh, totally. No, absolutely. In
fact, it'd be quite the opposite is that I don't want to
play my character and that like what I want to play as Alex
in Street Fighter EX3. No, see the difference I guess with me
I feel is that like if you stripped out Nikali, I'd find
someone else and that rule continues until there's no one
left. I don't even like saying geef in this game. I'm still
going to give him a shot but he's not the one that I like
right. He got changed in ways that are not my thing. No,
like I found someone else. I found two other people and if
you look at my my my the way I was talking about it while
before Nikali even got announced, I was like, Oh man,
yeah, Bison, I guess. If you know like and I'm like, I've
never picked Bison in another game but I'll try now. If you
cut Nash and Birdie, I'd play Bison. If you cut Bison, I'd
play Rashid. If you cut Rashid, I'd play Ryu. Yeah, I cut
Ryu. I would even play this new Ken because he's alright. I'd
play Mika. I'd roll over to whatever was left until there
was nothing left. I think it's just one of those unique
things where like actually the lineup of characters like it
just so like my main hope was on Laura and I'm like, I
actually really don't like how Laura plays at all. Me either.
It's it's not what I assumed. Yeah. And you you I watched the
trailer. I saw the movies and I was like, yeah, and there's
just something about her that I'm like and I you know what?
I can understand like Rashid is the only one. I can understand
like Billy like saying like, yeah, Vega's my guy but not
that one because if they brought in boxer and he's not a
charged character, I'm not playing that care. Like I don't
care. Like it like imagine if Gile also wasn't a chance.
Yeah. Well, I mean, Chunli, they they changed up her and for
me for some reason for Chunli, it's fine. Well, it's better.
Yeah, it's actually much much better. I don't like the the I
didn't like the flip flopping with the Cali because they would
change up his they didn't know whether to make him charge
or not. Can you imagine? Actually, I changed my mind.
If boxer can do a rush punch with a fireball motion, maybe
I didn't even ignore. I didn't even answer that because the
concept is stupid. Well, see, they did with Charlie. Guess
what? See? Oh, Charlie's see the 3DS version of of Street Fighter
4. And yet we'll see. Oh, yeah, whatever. Really, really
quickly. I unfortunately forgot to bring it. I got the Xbox
one elite. Oh, man, next week. I know. And then next week,
I'm not gonna be here next week because I'll still be well
shit. Keep the controller. I will keep it. But it feels like
fucking money. Yeah, it's actually probably the nicest. It
feels great. Like you guys, you guys will will hold it or
whatever. But I think it's really great. We're gonna have a
whole controller porn down. It is ludicrous expense of
especially in Canada. But it it's cool. Like I can't deny it.
But other than that, really quickly, I also played a game
on scene called Medusa's Labyrinth, which is actually a
horror first person game. That's during the Greek mythology.
Actually quite scary. I thought it was pretty good. Not
gonna go much into other than that. But Medusa's Labyrinth,
the most generic name. I barely even decided to click on it
because it's little images. When you said Medusa's Labyrinth,
the first thing that popped into my mind was a fan made kid
Icarus expansion. Not even wrong. And to think that. But the
only thing that makes me here's the thing with steam is as I
go and steam. What's the title of the game? Okay, yeah, what's
the little image? Yeah. Okay, click on it. What's the rating?
Is it mostly positive? Yep. That there you go. Yeah. So I
looked at the other than that's the name of the image. I'll
click on it and it's like overwhelmingly positive. Yeah. So
I know I play the game and it's it's pretty good. Yeah, maybe
we'll do it some day. Willie saw me play Tron runner really
briefly. That's also solid. It's a slower tech 3001 with Tron.
Yes. Yes. Yes. And finally, I was telling Willie all about
it. And Willie seemed to be kind of intrigued. Spider Gwen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Way more interesting than I thought it
was Frank Castle. Lots of spiders. Just a cop. Okay, hates crime.
He hates and has a family. Sure he does just like I want to
stop crime because I have a family. It's actually just Frank
Castle if before it became anything. Is it like it is a
beard? Is it one of those things where you look at this this
this version of the character and it's putting forth a theory
that like his family dying meant nothing that he would always
eventually become the punisher in his own way. Not necessarily
from what he describes. No, not from what I describe but that
does happen in other. It's only for Sasuke old series and
things like that. But this one is just like I'm a hard as
powered by emo. So I'm a hard ass and like Black Cat is a lady
Gaga as garnet singer from France. Good. All this fun stuff.
So I'm really I read as much as that's available of that and
I was like blown away because I was like Spider Gwen. She's
cool. Everyone likes Spider Gwen, but I actually read the
comic. I'm like, thank God, this is actually awesome. So after
after we we checked out the Fastlane pay-per-view, I totally
watched her all last week and like to experience the return
of Shano Mack. Here comes the money. Like I because for some
for a thing when I was like, you know, fuck it. Let's just
watch raw. Right. And I just got the cold surprise. That was
like the best. That was really if only wrestling had that more
often and my would actually start watching. Well, my timing
was so good on that. Like I'm like, okay, yeah, you got me.
You know what he's been doing? Just kind of he was overseas
in China. We're setting up businesses. Yeah, exactly. Feels
like Shano Mack's coming back and it's the kind of situation
like that Simpsons clip was like, Shane, I thought you were
dead and his response is I was. Yeah, exactly. No, I'm sure
he was he was doing it doing making money whenever overseas
and you want to send out those businesses were a huge failure.
Well, there you go. But there was a good job, Nick Mahon. He
knew like probably way back when is like someday. Yeah, I
can't escape when it's in my blood. The music queue is still
on the list family business can't can't escape. So that was
fun and he comes out doing the dance greater than Vince
himself. I know like a like a few months ago, I saw like
updated picture of Shane McMahon. I was like, Oh my God,
that was quick. See, here's the thing. Vince is using the good
stuff that he doesn't let anyone else like Ric Flair use.
Yeah. And and so here you got now like that that Evo trophy
that they fucking taped and they're setting up the whole
like what's the storyline going to be? And it's like, well,
Shane's back. He wants controller off. And the only way
he's going to get it is if he defeats the Undertaker at
WrestleMania. We're really fucking perfect. Double ground
pop battle cool. Yeah, in a cage match. So though, so that
because I didn't watch raw. That's what it was. It was like
because because apparently, and the only reason why Vince is
letting him do it is because he's got some dirt on him about
some shit that he shouldn't have done way back when failures
in China. Oops, Jimmy Snookas. No, no, no, no. Shane has dirt
on Vince. Jimmy Snookas. That's why I went there. And and
Steph doesn't know about it. So whatever the other fun angle
that's going on now is Dean Ambrose. Yeah, it's like, what
do you do? Why is he poor after getting dismantled and
inserting himself and he's that he's there with the shield
with the storyline with Roman and trying to get the belt and
better or not, whatever all that shit that they're building
up to for WrestleMania. Yon, but what do you do literally when
you have Brock as the guy that refuses to sell doing his thing
and have a no sell match? You take a character like Dean
Ambrose who is basically in hurt me more. Yeah, I would love
the pain. Yeah, mode. Yeah. And you put him up against Brock
so that he gets beat up off camera on camera driven to the
hospital, hijacks the ambulance drives it back to rock gets
out and challenges Brock again. So it's the no sell versus the
ultimate sell and he's crawling on his feet over to Brock
perfect sell. You know, I don't care. He doesn't care what
happens. That's good. That's good. And Brock like fives him
and then steps on his face to leave the arena and he's like
smiling on the ground like yes, perfect. That's what I wanted.
I wanted to lose. Yeah. You lost. It's part of my plan. Yeah.
So they're working that pretty good. I'm happy with it.
How is the Ambrose poor? He gets paid to wrestle. He's working
right now. Yeah, it doesn't make that's his gimmick in case
you didn't know now. He's in his in his problems and stuff.
He's like, Oh, I need to get like coupons from a groceries.
You get paid. You get paid more than the people that are like
I'm millions of dollars. You're being videotaped for money
right now in this bit. Yeah. Like it's fine if a wrestler is
like I'm super rich. Yeah, that's fine. I can you're not going
to be taking bombs for a living because you're rich. Why would
you even need to I guess it's to show how superior you are to
the common man. But if you're poor, you can't be poor. If
you're a wrestler. Hey, it's my gimmick people in the stands
who actually live this life. I've also never said he was poor
but he but he but he got that across and I drink beer and
do whatever I'm using your misery as my wrestling gimmick.
Yeah, your misery feeds me. Also got a chance to check out
Jojo part nine. So you went from doing nothing. Oh, yes.
Right. You know, interesting stand in a very interesting
stand. I like I like his his appearance so far. It's very
it's a different take. Very Rob Liefeld. I like this. Awesome.
I like the the the reference to in dual. The return of that
good homage but it's blood instead of the pretty decent
set up diesel diesel. We're going to get there eventually
some plagiarism Iraqi Iraqi exposed as huge fraud contested.
I've never seen it this bad ever in anything in any medium
ever. The best gene Simmons and son. No, yes, that that was
bad to tracing it is is like is like thing somehow in my
mind but just just lifting literally every single element
and as I mentioned, and then not tracing it like it would
be it would be less offensive if he traced it because at
least then the art would be like not or stole the idea and
the word stands and stand and did his own thing but made his
own stand instead. It is a shot for shot terrible recreation
and it is God awful. That's the crazy part. Close me away.
Even when I had my dumb OC Dragon Ball characters and my
friends had them as well and you black and pissed off your
art teacher because she's like stop drawing someone else's
style. You stupid idiots with your Japanese shit. Yeah,
I'm going to fail you. You would at least draw your own dumb
OCs and yeah and try to figure out what it would be like if a
black person went Super Saiyan. This is the comic. There's a
whole website devoted to this is the comic also you could just
watch LeBron James footage. Yeah, it's the comic equivalent
of those mobile games that just steal just just wholesale
just like a ping like just just I took I made this I'm going
to steal all of it and make my art worse. I made this. Yeah,
I made it. It's me. I came up with it but like crazy. Holy
shit. Kind of fascinating though though right because it looks
so so ugly. Yeah from an art perspective that I don't know.
Yeah. Oh man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The black Goku still up and
running black Goku. I still got some my week if if you're if
you're over an hour and eight but whatever we can roll in.
I guess he's got my arm still there. Yeah, I see it. I see
it. So there's there's two more things I want to talk about
one will be quite quick. One is I started playing that fire
emblem and oh my god. That's more of mine. Is that the front
page? Yeah, that that fire emblem fates and I kind of wish
Liam was here because we're talking about it quite a lot
yesterday and he's going to get a huge surge in views and
not know what the fuck but but that game has that split
mechanic where you go into the easy easier campaign or the
I'm not I'm not I'm sorry. I'm really sorry but look at look
at this picture that I did also I know exactly you're not
showing it to me. I'll show you that. I also know exactly
where this is going because it's like we had the conversation
yesterday had the conversation but not we have to have it now
for the podcast will they? We do. I recently we talked about
Fire Emblem on another podcast episode recently to where I
was describing that I tried. Yeah, no, it's a it's a slightly
different thing and it's like especially coming off of xcom
because they're both very hard games that have permadeath and
all that stuff but the fire emblem doesn't shit its ass
when you go to attack somebody and sometimes fail to bring
the cursor back or whatever. So that's nice but it's I'm in
this fucking hole where I'm much better than the than the easy
difficulty but I'm not quite good enough for the hard one and
so I'm stuck. I'm stuck playing a game in which it's
slightly too hard for me to beat the missions without anyone
dying but if I went to the easier difficulty I would fucking
walk all over it would be super boring. Can't you put like
the the one difficulty but then have permadeath? Yeah, but I
ways to mix and match. There are ways to mix and match and
there's no currently satisfactory one. I literally just have
to get better at the game because I remember for my
difficulty for Awakening is like I put it like I guess the
equivalent of medium but put permadeath on. Is there a cocktail
of sorry. I'm just randomly thinking of xcom again because
that's fine bugs and stuff go for it. Is there a cocktail of
mods that you fix? No, there is there is a stop wasting my
time mod which makes it so that like resurrecting soldiers
with the sect ways doesn't take like 45 seconds on it and and
takes and removes the weird pauses after you shoot but
there's currently nothing to my knowledge that changes it so
that like often when the enemy when your character shoot you
can't see the damage number until it pulls back out or even if
they hit or the fucking super fucked up loading times that
are fixed by caps lock or any of that weird shit. No, not as
of yet. Hopefully, Sid Meier is working on it. Okay. Yeah, that
game firearms really good but just like man, I'm in the wrong
spot for it. I need to I need to improve forcibly before I can
have fun with that. And the other thing that I've been doing
is Matt, have you seen Gravity Falls? I've seen a couple
episodes. Finish it. Well, keep watching. It's not long
because the guy fucking pieced out exactly where he should have
amazing to beat him up. Super good. I saw that. Yeah, no, but
I'm almost near the end and it is it is fantastic. I would
recognize fucking Paul Robertson's art anywhere you can't
and he has the second episode. You can't mistake. There's a
street fighter one but there's a there's another one that he
does and it's it's fantastic. Man, that is just such a good
goddamn show. The guys that worked on are one of them at
least one of the brothers chaps from Homestar Runner did
writing on that show. It is. Hey, you're Gabba Gabba. It is
just rock solid like Twin Peaks for kids. Like amazing makes
no sense and I want an aesthetically. Yeah, no, it's
it's very this was my best one, by the way. I see that and I
want to I want to like give like a golf clap to Christian
Shawl because her work on the Daily Show was really good.
Yeah, her work on Flight of the Concords but excellent. She
has finally discovered her true calling after 30 Rock. Her
weird ass cartoon voice has found a home in a goofy like cartoon
character that fits. I can never not see your face after
seeing her on four different shows before. I can still see
her face but Mabel is the best. Remember we're doing some
Final Fantasy 10 and you're like, ah, what did she do? What
voice was she like? So the the last episode that I saw had
Neil DeCrasse Tyson as a super smart talking pig. Yeah. And
I was marking the fuck out. I was completely marking the
fuck out. Groudy Falls. One of those types of shows where the
guy would go, I'm done. Yeah. Drop the mic right here. And I'm
kind of I'm getting really excited because the plot is
totally going somewhere and knowing that it goes somewhere
and it gets there and then it's over makes me really excited.
That's good. Really excited. The the after seeing that chart
of how everything is connected from Adventure Time and oh
yeah, there's all the Pendleton Ward and and everything else
Beemo's voice actor. Yeah. And then regular shows and all
these people. Yeah. All the staffers just grouped up in
different pairings and created all these different shows.
You know that one. Here's Rebecca Sugar's show. Here's
Pendleton Ward. And they all share the same. One image
where it's like, man, I really wish him and him and him
all worked on something. Oh, I wish that would happen.
Someone just shows a picture of flapjack like it did. Yeah,
it already happened. You missed it. Yeah, exactly. Cool.
It's it's fantastic. I should have finished it before coming
to the podcast, but I needed to play super hot instead because
it's so it's so hot. Well, I'll tell you what else needs so
super hot man. What else needs to get finished? What's that?
What is that? More fighters confirmed for KOF. Yeah, did
we talk about this last time? Last time we had no docket
because all the no, no, no, I mean, even before that, didn't
we talk about the characters? No, it was off mic. Off mic.
We discussed the possibility. It was it was maybe we were maybe
we were recording fighter and a fisticuss and it was in
between things. I just looked over you and said, Hey, man,
did you see King of the fucking dinosaurs dinosaurs?
Teesock turns heel. So, you know, everyone has that moment
where they go, fuck it. I'm in and I don't care how shitty
you look. Yeah, you have King of the dinosaurs. All I will buy
you and I will play you. Yeah. I mean, that was a foregone
conclusion. Well, I believe I said the moment the game got
announced. I'm no matter what happens, I'm going to be playing
says King of Fighters on it. Done. But what I mean is that
I'm going to stop being grumpy about the game per se. I'm
going to stop being as pessimistic as I guess we all were
at the reveal. Plus, I enjoy Terry's new design as well. His
old design. See, luckily, old design. Luckily for me, I
found an old topic about fighting game backgrounds that
made me super depressed again. So, I'm back to being grumpy.
Was it that Imgur album? It was that Imgur album. Keep
scrolling. I just and it's and you get to the park stage from
like King of Fighters 90. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And what year is
that? Like 99? No, no, no, I think it's like 96 or 90. No,
no, wait, the outside reigning park. Yeah, that's 98. That's
98. The 98 park stage in I think Holland or something and it
is it is a fucking porn and sprite art form and that's
whatever I fucked that up. But yeah, it is. And then you
the last blade stages and then you just you cry. Yeah, you
cry. And then you look at you look at that shitty, shitty
goddamn cathedral with a blur. You cry again. It's not bad.
We call it cry again. It's not it's not terrible. Let me show
you those stages. No, I get it. It's not great. Let me show
you what the action like Pokeman's if the 2D stage and
on exists, this stage looks fine. But it does exist. I know.
And all right. All right. So I didn't even like that many
stages. So I'm notorious for not liking a lot of stages and
more modern King of Fighters. Yeah. Like once 11 happened, I
started really disliking this is the main stages of the main
stages that they're showing off that from the original release
still looks pretty terrible no matter what they added more
layers to it, but I still really don't like what's going on.
You're right. I think that the the Mexican city looks
interesting. It's more KOF 13 ish. It's bright and colorful.
Agreed. And then there's that like Cathedral, which is weird.
It looks unfinished. The lighting looks weird. I like the idea
of the stage, but it doesn't look like it's lit properly. No.
And doesn't that's a thing. That's a thing that at least I
can think that let's constantly show off characters and stages
that aren't finished. Well, that's why they have a helpful
little reminder at the bottom of footage saying this is a game
story. Yeah. Yeah. But either way, no, no matter I like I
said, I'm a little helpful little reminder to turn off the
comments. It's going to get play. It's going to get get play.
I'm just glad that Terry doesn't look nearly as bad as Andy.
That was I think I don't know a previous one. He's covered by
more clothing. He's covered by more clothing when he turns
the hat around. That's all cool. Maxim looks good. I like
new Maxima. Yeah, Maxima looks good. Canadian fighting him
character. So along with Wolf and Sasquatch him and Wolf and
Sasquatch. That's it. Busy week for Japan. Busy week. We got
birth rates down again. Yeah, we're doing it. Not really though.
They just announced that the country lost a million people
this year. Yeah. For the first time since like 1939 or some
shit. We were down a million people this year. You know how
many babies Japan was having during the war? They're
population didn't decrease during World War Two. That's crazy.
That's crazy. They kept up. Kept on fucking. That's fucking
radic. So, well, wait for the the fucking VR home wife
simulator thing to come out. Yeah, then it's all over. Then
the the country. The country just implode on itself. That's
the victory lap to cutting your dick off. Yeah. Uh so her
daughter's master plan is complete. Uh we gotta first
look at the Capcom's attack on Titan game. Sorry. Capcom's
attack on Titan. Right. Right. For the arcades. Mm hmm.
Which actually has 3D maneuver gear handhelds things that
you use to aim individually and do your thing. Is it is it
parked next to the Gunslinger Stratos machine? 100% 100%
and and this is where you enjoy this that will never come
out. It like it's weird because the machine's completely
translated into English. Well, it's Rachel. The idea though
is hard to the the Aotons because I just want you know me.
I want that 3D maneuver gear simulator. I'll never get it
and well, it already exists in fan made form. You'll never
get on an official. You'll never get it from an official
channel. Either way, Capcom's take doing taking their arcade
take at it and uh I was like, oh, that's interesting to see
that they're trying that. We'll see if it's any good. What a
weird time for all these games to be coming out when there's
no new anime. Season two is is is announced. Anime is dead.
When's it coming out? We don't know. Exactly. What do we know?
Wait, didn't they say 2017? They said whatever. That's not
now. Uh yeah. No, they they did announce it and it's in
the production. Why would you stop caring about anime? It's
done. Yeah, it's played out. It was a mistake as well. I'm
sorry. Yeah. Uh yo Gundam's dope. Watched a ton more
episodes. Fuck yeah. Good shit. Remember at Mangfest, there
was all these little like amazing girly Julie bracelets
that said things like I'm not your waifu and anime was a
mistake. Yes. There's only one thing I have to add to the
Gundam discussion. Yeah. I'm continuing my running theory
that nearly every character should have had a gun put in
their mouth and killed due to like straight up like disobeying
orders or like actively working against the team. Kai let's
a fucking spy onto the base. Just just Kai let's a spy onto
the base. All I want to know how many how many zombies how
many zombies wait are down still just the one. No, no, no,
how many have you met? Oh, they they all show up at the same
time at the after Garms death. Okay. Okay. And the dad's
tired and the the sister looks like the worst one of them
all. She's horrible. The worst one. I haven't seen much of
the others. Like they they they went to the funeral and they
did that thing and then the the sister was the only one that
showed up in like the mining arc or whatever. But like Amaro
steals the Gundam he'll show them fucking shoot that kid.
Kill him. But then who's gonna fuck it. Yeah, I'd rather have
a bad pilot that follows orders like Salah. Salah mass you're
not a little bit but a good pilot that doesn't follow that
still get the that bit is so hilarious and old because she
literally gets in the Gundam and starts flying around and they're
like I try like oh you tried to use the Gundam to show that a
woman could be as good of a pilot and you almost got us all
killed. Shame on you Salah. And then the next episode she's
the backup pilot for what I assume is the rest of the
series. Honestly, I was about to say they fucking make up for
it. Yeah, and not even for those reasons. But there's other
shit too. But it's like it's like bright is nearly shaking
his finger at her being no no no as if he's shaking his finger
at all women. Yeah, bad. But no, no, it's hilarious. It goes
down. Yeah. So on that note, we have a pretty awesome
announcement that well, I guess two new things we have
there's Gundam users new footage of Gundam Breaker 3. Yeah,
horse Gundam gameplay and with 12 minutes of it horse. Yeah,
did you say horse Gundam? I said horse Gundam. All right.
So that's just a word. Yeah, it was not actually horse Gundam.
It's a new genre. If you want to check out the gunpla fighting
game that is going to break your three you can do that. An
English version is coming out in Asia on April 28th Asia and
that goes hand in hand with Bandai's new fucking thing that
they're doing that's pretty interesting and cool is they're
making maybe I might be wrong because I'm out of touch with
some of this stuff but there's also they're also making an
English version for Asia of Super Robot Wars. Oh, gee, the
moon dwellers. So you we're not confident enough to localize
this actually for your place but they're in Singapore,
Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines and Indonesia. There
will be English versions available. I want to I just I
would like somebody to tell me either on Twitter or or get
send an email in because it's it's an academic thing that
it's always weirded me out. The countries you mentioned I do
not believe their first language or national language is
English and yet that is the language that gets associated
with that territory in localization terms now even in
China and Hong Kong and get it. There's a lot of English
usage and in particular with would you say it's like the
de facto second language that member when we were talking
about it's weird because there's a there's a member we're
talking about like Davao City and like the Punisher Mayor
and all that. Yeah, right. So officially like they have a
language that is just English with other bits of I think
Filipino sprinkled in. Okay. So it's almost like English is
the first language. That's weird. It's very strange. That's
odd. So it's not super uncommon for like I would I would
actually really if somebody has like a breakdown of this
exact thing that they can send me on Twitter, I'd really
appreciate it because I find it super interesting. Yeah, but
that's totally a thing and because you said like oh,
they're putting the English version out for Singapore like
fucking what? Yeah. No, no, it's it's it's strange but it's
and I guess it's like much easier for them to do that if you
think about it than to develop than to translate into
specifically. Oh yeah, totally because there's tons of them
there's tons all even in China. There's like 10 different
forms of Chinese or some shit. Yeah. So they're not going to
do all that work. No. So it makes more sense to do it this
way. We've got the announcement of Pokemon Moon and
Pokemon Sun which you mean Pokemon raw and Pokemon
Smackdown. I prefer as I mentioned Pokemon Sora and
Pokemon Riku. No, no, Pokemon Dayman and Pokemon Nightman.
Yeah, that's good. That's good. The best the fucking best.
And and that goes hand in hand with an explanation of why a
3DS version of Pokemon Pokemon tournament won't happen. Good.
Like, did dad need an explanation because it looks like
you can't we don't want to fight in game experience, you
know, so okay, hold on. Hold on. Now, if that's their
reasoning for that, are they saying that for smash they
wanted to compromise the graphical experience? Here's
exactly what it with a quote goes down. It's like a Hoshino
developer. Masaki Hoshino says it's definitely a challenge to
get it on the Wii U with what we're doing right now and it
would definitely be a challenge to have the same graphical
experience on the 3DS. Harada immediately tagged onto this
and said programmer does not need technology. Programmer
needs budget.
That's that's the actual anything. If you really think
about it can fucking live up to the what they would but
aside from that kingdom hearts like there's been no console
Pokemon anything of any real note in a long ass time and at
least make a beautiful gorgeous fighting game. You shouldn't
on Pokemon XD. No, I'm not. It's just that like Pokemon XD
makes me laugh. The dream is that everyone's dream is a big cool
awesome in depth RPG and the Pokemon world on consoles. Yeah,
that's something that they should have done years. Let me talk
to you about Monster Hunter. I keep asking Liam. I keep asking
me like, Liam, was it going to happen? And he's like, and
he's like, never. Why would it? Why would it happen? Probably
never. It's it's home is on the console on the handheld.
That's crazy. Why would you ever want it? People want it. Well,
that I put words as much he would he would not be the phone
the phone app Pokemon, whatever. Sure. Go not go whatever
whatever it is. That thing is where they're going to be going
Pokemon geolocation.
We have a mixture of things that fucking get me where I need
to be. Where do you need to be in an escape room? All right,
there you go. That's so you are a lights off kind of guy
that in an escape room that is themed as a zero escape. It's
the ultimate. It's the ultimate. Like, we all got into this
concept based on this license and now it's with Spike
Chunsoft real zero escape trust on trial, trust escape room
being designed in LA tickets go on sale literally today. So
here's the here's the deal, right? If you're living in LA, go
to it and tell me here's the deal. You'll get to go. Excuse
me. Here. Here are the rules. Do not break anything. And you
must leave your watches with the man at the door. Oh, somehow
that part's not getting through. I would steal that shit in a
second. I have one. I'll never get the other one. But what if
it was real though? Oh, that would be the past. So I tried to
steal the death watch and he died. How ironic fucking awesome.
Mission accomplished time to get the second ending. It's better
than dying coming out of my dark shower. We can now close down
this event because we did what we needed to do. It was all
the ploy. We've also got a leaker with our great track
record dropping megatons of info about the NX. Yeah, let's
hear this shit. Well, hey, so like I'll I'll I'll I read this
article. The first one. Hold on. Hold on. Sorry. Okay, sorry.
Gino is the name of the leaker. Yeah, go to this first.
He Gino leak. Oh, shit. Fuck. Where's the list of shit that he
did? You fucked up. Damn it. Sorry. He was right about the
aluminum room. He was right about the ps4 being capable of
running modern day graphics on his hardware about Pokemon
types and forms in XY. That's that's rock solid. And like
relative to this discussion to specific right doesn't usually
are you familiar? No, but everything about the Wii U did
like a few weeks or like before. Are you familiar with this
article? I actually I'm really excited because I completely
missed this. So I'm hearing this new the first part is like
holy shit. Where's this article? This is gamnesia. This is so
the first the first fucking bullet point. It has a wireless
HDMI dongle that attaches flush to the back of the device. You
can pull it out and insert it into any display with any normal
size. If that is real, this console already this console for
me wins forever. And everyone needs to rip that off because I
am sick of HDMI cables. As long as you can still record off of
this as long as you can still record off. If you can't then
this console sucks and you shouldn't buy it. No, if it
works, it's the best. If it's doesn't work, it's the worst.
But that's the one everything else is like everything else is
like that's cool. But that's one of my how does everything
not have this now since it's it would just be spitting out
HDMI signal it would it should have no problem doing pass
through. Yeah, it's like it shouldn't because it should
have the thing it should have the fucking back to the days of
pointing a camera at the television. Oh yeah. No, like
you can't fuck that up. You know what I mean? Like no way
whatever capturing video will always remain because PCs
sure like it like so the device is dope from a consumer
perspective. That's awesome uses an evolved version of the
we use streaming tech to display HD to the TV screen and a lot
controls for them for movement have small motors in them
with full haptic feedback. That's cool. I'm going to assume
that's like low input latency with that stream stuff. I would
hope so man. Bluetooth sync with tons of devices where including
smartphones and tablets. Yeah, sure. Answer phone calls and
display text messages from your phone. Oh, so this is the new
weird useless thing they want to include. Okay, closest to
X bone in terms of power that makes complete perfect sense.
Fine technology involved uses same hardware layout as PS4
and X bone. Oh, I can tell you what that means. It means that
you use as an APU. So an APU is a graphics card motherboard
CPU combination piece. Instead of having discrete components
it's easier to manufacture and AMD that probably means AMD is
making these these these devices. Okay, it's got heat benefits.
But it basically means like same architecture as the other
two not weird. We're looking at a scenario in which all three
systems are basically the same way. Wait, as opposed to our
processors being handled by these guys are video cards
until the next couple of points. Yeah. Okay, any game that
runs on PS4 or X bone can easily run on the NX with no mods
required. Okay, that's definitely the same architecture.
Yeah. It's even more true if it runs on Android OS or UE4 one
third party devs said it's the easiest device we've ever
developed for just take your code compiler that works. We
should look at that is before we go farther. That means that
like, even before what is demise, like there were some
serious like ideological changes behind the scenes at
Nintendo to have designed the thing to work like this number
of references to PS4 and or X bone already are shocking. Oh
yeah, they're more than zero. Is that an infinity increase?
So I guess I was right. It was Pokemon Go. I forgot what
it's called. We should look at Pokemon Go to get an idea for
the type of social features that'll be in an extra or whatever.
Yeah, me verse near. Yeah, what have you school? Yeah, school
geolocation. It'll take multiplayer AR and street pass
concept to a whole new level. The strength of the device are
its usability and ease of use devs describe it as visually
describe it visually and functionally as the hardware as
if Samsung and Nintendo 2DS had a baby.
So that doesn't seem very large. Well, there's a picture on
it. Well, I mean, it's not a it's just a dumb mockup. It's
not a black thing. It's not that looks like our converter.
Don't don't fall for that. I know, I know, but that's what's
in the article. It looks friendly, but unlike what most
people believe a Nintendo device to typically look like.
It's very OS named Nintendo s is very powerful and has many
modern features of mobile operating systems. Sure. Nintendo
is trying very carefully to show it off for fear that it would
be mistaken as a running Android. I think yeah, they don't
want to be they don't want it, but they don't want it like I
guess I would that means we don't want to get any mixed messages
for people like wait, what is this thing? Is that so this is
a Roku? So this is not a Fusion handheld device. It doesn't
mention any of that. It appears to be a very physically small
easy to transport and dedicated console. A point very strong
networking functions as it ties into multiple devices and
services. So that's what it is very very competent and pervasive
ecosystem designed to constantly involve the consumer. So it's
not so it is a use the shit you already had is a dedicated
console. It is not a handheld also your handheld is your phone.
I don't want to play in hell games on my phone man.
But here's the thing for all these rumors here might not
necessarily be that it's your controller. It could just be
your second screen, but it's going to connect to all your
sure that's fine, but I don't want to play monster on my phone.
No, I definitely here's what makes me nervous on these types of
lists and thankfully this part is not there is that they try.
Let's say this list is made up eats her baby. It let's say the
guy cannot resist and he goes mock writer mature rated game at
launch. Kid Icarus shown holding up head of baby drinking
blood because so many like around Nintendo like I remember
mock there someone made a fall mock writer wooden like paper
standee and put it right outside a GameStop and took a picture
of it as a fake. And whenever I see any games if you're telling
me you know stuff about games you are fucking wrong you will
always be wrong. You don't know what games there's something
to be said about in the age of Photoshop to take your fakery
to the physical realm that the photo is legitimate. Yes, other
things like no this doesn't actually appear. This is a real
thing somewhere. Yeah. Nowadays, you can smell out like
bullshit. I'd be very very interested in this device. It
sounds very interesting. It does and it sounds extremely
believable that their choices would be to just adapt to what
people already have. Yeah, especially now that they're
working with Dina. Yeah. So did you guys sign up for your
Nintendo account? No, I did. What? You know, so the Nintendo
account is they have already started to sign up for their
unified account system for the future, right? You know, I had
to do I had to go and punch in my Nintendo ID information and
it linked it to the account that I signed up with my email and
I was fucking done. It took like 90 seconds. Okay, it was
totally painless and seamless and it looked like it was designed
to be used by human beings. That's always so so what you're
saying is it's functionally what it should have been on day
one. No, it's functional. Still what it should have been
like 10 years ago. 10 years ago. Fantastic. 10 years ago. The
360 was out. Yeah, but 10 years ago. Konami IDs were still
a thing. It's super cool. You beat me. Yeah, totally one. I
mean, it's completely one, Matt. It's super cool to hear
that they're God that they're now at zero. Oh my God, I never
got to play that version of Metal Gear Online because I was
never able to get through. Crazy. But yeah, no, that gave me
a lot of faith for their online and it makes me feel like
are they actually going to do like software backwards
compatibility because your account and your purchases like
are linked once you do this. Now what I what I'm wondering
about is if they do have secondary screen functions and
they're doing the whole smart glass type thing where like
you have your tablets, you can see this and that and so on.
How much of that's not the focus? Well, how much of that is
optional? How much of that is required? How much of that is
going to be a part of a big thing that if you've got
if you've got the developers are involved with you got a phone
past such and such a date. You can use it to have Wii U
backwards compatibility or just or just like whatever peripheral
or whatever device you kind of already own that hooks up to
like would in theory work with an Android box or something
I would I would very work with this. I would very like them
to double down on one gimmick. Whatever that gimmick is and
it appears to be connectivity connectivity to particularly
phones. Yeah. But I would I would like can we focus on one
thing please can we can we because the Wii U's clusterfuck
of motion and streaming and second screen like now the thing
is is that to some degree everyone's goal was connectivity
this generation but all in different ways different degrees
yeah and this dude this one with like your hardware stuff is
like a whole further step. I still lack the faith to think
Nintendo can pull it off smoothly without here's the thing
right. It's not even about having faith in Nintendo anymore.
It's about having faith in Dina. They're literally doing it
for them but they're and that's embarrassing in its own right.
They're banking the console on it. Yeah totally possibly if
these rumors are to believe. Yeah sure to be believed so we'll
see at the very end of the day is that as powerful as an X
bone fine is a very easy to develop for fine and then that's
that that's it you know are you going to get to sit and play
your video games on it. That's yes at the end of the day that's
that you know maybe that's Nintendo's secret plan.
Does it get rid of people recording their games is to make a
fucking hardware device that just you can't like it's not
HDCP anymore until Elgato releases the signal interceptor
Elgato and Hapage and what have you just go like no we know
we did it. We did it on day one place this device physically
in between and if they don't so if they don't do it like
Chinese manufacturer X 21 from Hong Kong province will somehow
make a converter box that will split your HDMI signal wirelessly
for apparently we were still do earlier in the podcast when
the Xbox one is about to come out or it had come out whatever
it is and I'll say the same thing I said for that I'll say
this if like this is not somehow backwards compatible with
at least the Wii U and I'd like to think the Wii but if it's
just Wii U that's fine if it's not like fuck expect virtual
console. Yeah, I'd rather it just be backwards like I'd rather
just put it in the Wii U game for them to do right now would
be to just continue building the virtual console indefinitely
no but they're bad at that they're quite bad at that we ever
there we all had like I forget what it was before we recorded
something we had like a fucking 45 minute discussion about how
bad Nintendo's virtual console offering is okay but at what
price though if it means hardware emulation or hardware
hardware backwards compatibility for a hundred bucks more on
the price tag. No, I would rather do that because that's a
one time fee. Yeah. I would rather put in my game and at
work than me get a slightly better version of the game over
the course of like six years. Here's how do you think that
gets received by everyone else. Yeah. When you went when a
hundred dollars on the price tag. It's a huge but here's the
thing. It's Nintendo. So it's 90. Is it going to be as pricey
as a stupid VR thing? No. So it's already got an advantage.
That's probably the next one. But so I have a couple ways
that I feel about this but it comes down to a couple things
one. What do I expect slash want I expect slash want them to
go like nah sorry guys no backwards compatibility but
from this goddamn moment going forward everything is linked
to your account forever and yes things will be assumed to be
backwards compatible with various devices. That's what I
expect with the account system thing similar to how Sony
does it to an extent across devices and in terms of
backwards compatibility the question is always like is it
worth a hundred bucks of cost right for the Xbox 360 the
answer was yes and Microsoft learned that a couple years
after they put their system out for the Nintendo Wii U.
No there are not that many Wii U games period that are worth
playing in backwards compatibility. I think there is
compared to like as the cries for backwards compatibility
were strong with the PS1 the PS2 the Xbox 360 and the
PlayStation 3 and those had massive gigantic libraries that
had like a hundred games each you want to play for backwards
compatibility with the GameCube and the Wii U it's like 15.
The number is low but it is still there but I mean at the
same time it's like I'll be happy to play Splatoon until
Splatoon 2 comes sure or wonderful 101 or Bayonetta 2 or
and the other thing is like in terms of in terms of backwards
compatibility cost it also mattered like I made a joke about
earlier but it's like do you include a game pad and the
thing because that was the Albatross money wise right do
you just is Wii U backwards compatibility limited to you
still have an old game pad and you can hook it up is it
limited to but if you have that then why not just play it on
your Wii U. They cannot have hardware backwards
compatibility but then you have to step up your virtual
console. Well that that's a lot of work that's like taking
that's the thing is that I'd like to think it's easier it's
actually easier in the long run to make your your hardware
backwards compatible because Nintendo has done it twice
now but no but I'm talking about the controller man like
what do you do about that I'm still I'm still you know and
think about this like say say if you got a Wii U control like
tablet thing you could do the backwards compatibility what
about people who don't own Wii U's you're not you can't buy
the fucking game pad sure yeah like they're they're they're
expensive they're limited like it's in the end even though
they did make support and the ability to play a game with
two Wii U game pads nothing ever ever ever so it's like
how many PlayStation 2 games use the analog buttons don't say
Kojima games. There's one it's Gran Turismo. That's it
that's it to my knowledge there might be a couple others but
those are the only notable ones. So with that we transition
right over to price discussion. Hey I'm going to get that
Nintendo console I bet I can afford it. HTC Vive what can't
you afford VR price has been announced it is 799 US that's
a lot how much is that in our Canadian buckaroos Willie Canadian
Rouge one thousand one hundred and forty nine dollars what's
sales tax in nearly the entire nation 30% no sorry 15% it's
15% I mean that's no whatever GST PST on personal income is
30 so what would the actual approximate cost plus shipping
of an HTC Vive be to one of us like fourteen hundred dollars
yep fuck that holy shit that's an invite I held up my phone
when that broke to you guys the other day the vibe also needs
the most room and it also needs the most and it comes so get
a bigger house so you need a bigger house comes with two
wireless controllers now I will say that like the smallest
setting for its like space requirements would be my room
right here yeah and then the next level up would be my room
without furniture and then there'd be like not in this
room change your life change your life you'll have to you
can you have to sell some of your furniture I'm bummed
because I actually as I mentioned you were the true
believer behind the vibe I was converted on play I was converted
on play like I tried it and it blew me away and like I said
to you when you brought that up the other day clearly not
enough conversion you're not a true believer enough well
I don't know how much of a ridiculous killer app that
needs to be what if the Vive comes out and the games just
suck and they well guess what a lot of games better well
that's just it for like because that and the problem with this
and the reason why I wouldn't go like this is even reasonable
at this point is because that's not up to HTC I know it's
just up to the devs so Oculus like let's be real pricing on
Oculus is bad for when we factor in shipping in April Canadian
word cut dollars we're talking 914 yeah so so like hey the
only the only that that's a fucking drop to the only people
out right now going we're going to have fucking for real games
for these things is Sony and it's comforting or your Samsung
phone VR headset sure but that's that's the phone in your
headset but like Sony is doing the work and saying okay guys
guys we know these are going on expensive right there will be
games in fact we could have shipped this thing last year but
the games aren't done so we're going to make sure there are
good it's it's the inverse of every console launch ever ever
where the game's struggle to keep up and they go I don't worry
people will buy the fucking thing right right right the price
is so high that that can't work anymore yeah it's it's just so
crazy that Vive and Oculus haven't announced killer at like
you're completely right it's where's the killer at that how
come valve hasn't said okay people have half life or portal
or left for dead or do to support the fucking anything the
possibility of 1400 sitting and collecting dust on a shelf
nightmare I can't and I save all you should have bought the
other one and I say this as a fucking cabinet owner of third
strike that's useless you know like I but that is the killer
at that I will do that yeah well I'm the kind of person who
buys consoles like their announcement I bought a video
card like 30 minutes after it went on sale you know stupid
decisions like that I have six arcade sticks hey what was the
day that I got my PlayStation 4 the day you got your PlayStation
4 was a street fighter got announced because that was your
killer at you waited absurdly long into the PS2 generation
because that's when Metal Gear saw three got fucking out
no no no that's why I got my shadow the class shadow the
class and you saw it or like fuck this I'm not waiting a
single more day I'm getting playing that shit and Metal Gear
was the bonus yeah but like VR I don't know of a single game
like maybe our lesson that I that I personally care about I
know for a fact that PlayStation VR at least has games but we
don't know what they are sounds kind of I know there will be
there but we don't know we know a couple the play a hundred
foot tall robot golf yeah summer lesson Tekken I'll play that
until dawn thing but what's what's the game that's what I'm
saying what's the game the confidence knowing that there
will be games plural is nice but it still doesn't matter which
one is I need the game pie stealer what are you gonna put
your what are you gonna push it yeah and that game should be
gravity rush to now I shouldn't but now I shouldn't be cool
that game should be Mirage Catalyst yeah I was I was
fucking gonna just say that you're damn it cancel it for
Xbox what you're so right you're so that would be it though
oh but Sony doesn't own that that's my get up leave the
house go man down the street you know what would you know
it'd be great to read the reviews for that because that's
a real thumb in the eye to Microsoft if Mirage Catalyst
is not even better than but equal to Mirage Edge yeah and
there's VR even a little worse even a little worse and there's
VR support all my money all of it done sure I feel very
confident that my that I mainly am are gonna get the Morpheus
like right away because we're both very confident that there
will be games that it will not collect collect us because
it's a console in the closed system all that stuff and I
believe that an argument could be made for that for the for
the Morpheus particularly I don't think that argument can be
made for the other two but any which way like holy fucking
shit don't preorder these things because they're gonna sell
out like crazy because of the crazies but don't don't know
wait a minute though fucking wait wait wait a minute before
you even start making up your mind that you're gonna get
no don't don't make up your mind make it up but but don't
hold on wait what about have you considered maybe wait the
HoloLens the HoloLens while an admittedly really cool piece
of technology in general but young conqueror though feels like
the most out of time no no no plate hold on I don't think
you heard me young edgier conquer why you and G conquer
yeah I know so I thought I thought it's really out of place
I thought project spark was a slap in the face to conquer
and wow I can't even describe the look on really fucking
face this this new conqueror which is an exclusive to the
HoloLens might be the worst character redesign I've ever
seen ever I it's the bubbles of and you read comic books
and I read comic books the the levels of bafflingness I don't
know whatever the word would be there made that face that you
make when you have won too many Red Bulls I can't begin to
understand what they were thinking why why does conquer
get of all things get saddled with the shitty nothing when
you're like when you're like we need to grab some kind of
mascot or something what do we have in the bank what do we got
what do we got right they know because of the project spark
reaction and stuff okay so then we do okay but like but then
now you have the weird thing where it's like but some people
know and like conquer because of shit monsters and pissing
out fires yeah but now I am the great mighty poo but no we
want to make it the wholesome conquer again but still hope
that those people are still on board me I don't I don't know
I can't figure out it is a process here's okay will the
it should be bubs be bubsy bubsy bubsy follow me here for a
moment I will I will try and dig deep there's a fundamental
under misunderstanding of a lot of people who wear suits
fundamental on seeing bud be
fundamental misunderstanding from a lot of people to wear suits
and all people to work in marketing yeah and when people
say man I love that character and their characters that people
will ignore their placement ignore their genre ignore their
whatever whether you care about character not you put Master
Chief in something people will like it more because master
they like Master Chief a lot or the arbiter or the or the
arbiter and there are characters like that if you put Ryu in
something mean you would be in man we'd all be like oh that's
cool that Ryu is there right yep but there are characters that
aren't the character they're the genre of game that they exist
in nobody is like madly in love with Banjo they like Banjo
Kazooie the game and Banjo is a symptom of that game it's the
symbol right I would argue that people have gotten to love
kind of character banjo sure what but you can see where I'm
going with right conquer is a conquer is not where you said
where you used to say no one cares about Banjo and Kazooie
and I can see one of the most successful kickstart is not
the girlfriend really like we can see the coastline of the
point you're making despite the fact that the boat's going in
the complete direction right fine but but conquer is not like
oh man I wish I would want to conquer TV show yeah it's people
really really like that conquer game and Banjo Kazooie is like
similar time and they want that and that is a symbol in some
ways of that style of rare game the character of conquer
doesn't matter and to think that that will sell the idea or
the device or the make it worse because some people will not
buy it is a complete misunderstanding like oh we got
this brand stick the brand on great value add no value remove
some time in some cases and this is one of those cases with
cameo yeah that would have been fine or grabbed by the
Gullies child yeah sure fuck that kid yeah by the fucking
with the Gullies punched in the dick kid grabbed him so so
it's the worst the worst well here's the thing is this is
the only piece of hollow lens related news I've that's crossed
my Paris since the announcement of the hollow so here's the
deal right as well we know that human beings work at Microsoft
I think we know a couple of them can confirm right it would
behoove Microsoft to like in case you forgot Willie yeah
that's the old conquer that's the new one yes you forgot the
new one is we put a suit on the Ice Age rat yeah you know
that you're so right it would behoove Microsoft as a company
to appear to have humans working there that understand people
in a general way and how and how much the executive like as
mascot thing actually affects sales is always going to be up
for debate but Microsoft's been doing a really like even for
them bad job at it lately with stuff like this Sony got us got
me and you to turn around on Sean laden man that we almost
well that we would not have pissed on if he was on fire the
first time we saw him I think I think like hollow lens will
still be a cool thing to try out I think you know I think that
thing is fucking radical I think that AR technique technology
is super cool someone that's not these the devs when I see
doctors and construction workers and shit like that using it
to do cool shit yeah yeah yeah yeah for sure it's it reminds
me so much of the connective like that's a really cool piece
of technology and I also think it has applications in like
party kind of settings sure you know what's on my forehead
it's a dick yeah well exactly I keep talking and no one explodes
type games I totally that's a perfect setting absolutely well
but until then yeah I know like indifference plus a shit on
my face like okay with all of that shit on your face wipe it
off in the dark tossed out salads and scrambled shit you
lost me you lost me for sure okay sci-fi souls is coming from
the Lords of the Fallen devs I probably imagine they hate the
fact that there it's be everything they do is being called
that yeah this is called the surge Namco hired them to make
a souls game yeah like Namco wasn't like happy enough with a
souls game every year so they needed to hire like Europeans
to make another one wait Ben I like I was the publisher of
the of these developers yeah so they hired someone to make a
souls right yeah we own the souls IP sorry I thought I thought
or are we we published the souls things yes and from soft
can't do more than one a year we need more double down then
again this is sci-fi souls which is what everyone wants here's
what we got I had I kind of I resent this because it means
that like the from software didn't do it first which means
well they could salt the earth on it but or Miyazaki can just
look at this and turn his nose up and be like fucking idiots
I'm gonna look at it who yeah so so what is the president what
we have is a descriptor is a screenshot with a dude inside
a mech suit and it's like a game where you'll rip limbs and
rip off limbs and punch building sized robots while sort of
dressed like Matt Damon and Elysium yeah you actually like
Matt Damon and Elysium and a weird poll yeah the setting seems
to involve robots so you got my vote what if Dark Souls 3 has
robots it doesn't what the but okay are they automatons I just
mean like a mecha because if they're if they're agonist
style robots like I'm on board like the finals of no the final
of Cinder just the orbital frame okay well that'd be the
shit though with it because flexile century to me is basically
a robot but it's not a robot no I mean like with the fucking
energy lines and the gun there's a whole plot dump on this
thing yeah ignore me please that's all there but I mean really
and truly it's more just like loads of fallen guys are now
going for a site hopefully they do better than they did with
Lord's Fall where's the fall is not even bad it's not even
bad well the deciding factor is going to be the gunplay in a
souls speed combat world yeah hopefully they do better than
they did with Lord's Fall it was a it was a strong first attempt
by a bunch of people that I've never heard before I heard of
before they're all from CD project yeah they made thing
before well I was not familiar with them but good good verse
attempt hopefully they do better there's room in that space
because really only from soft makes them it'd be nice to see
some competition you know what else you know what other space
has room for more games your ass always always always you know
that voice in my head that makes me want to say the worst
thing at all times mean your voice that yeah that moment I
couldn't I could when somebody says you know what else has
more room I like it's it's yeah it's impossible what it's
your ass oh I see fit a lot up there well whenever you're
ready jar yeah like a jar oh no you've used my own mind
against first reflect oh we know each other way to call a
Cthulhu re announced switches developers to cyanide studios
yeah two years ago focus entertainment announced that the
developers of all those Sherlock Holmes games that we all
ignore like crimes and punishments and punishments was
making this and then you'd see on their website two years ago
they'd be like here's our concept art and yeah just this week
focus says now cyanide studios if you guys recall are the
developers of that Game of Thrones RPG we played
oh but also but also sticks that goblin game you know that
one yeah yeah not beef which is actually a decent game my
excitement grows yeah it's a thing like I'm happy any which
way man the but they re announced this that this is coming
out now and where we change studios and like that's never a
great thing but it's never a death warrant to stuff it's
never had to agree but you know it's it's a psychological
investigation game which that's I I'll play that I'm into
that don't be scared just be prepared for the worst as long
as there's not gunfights against a gun the worst is cool
it's just called a Cthulhu right there's three Lovecraft
games and developer right now I want this food to either be
delicious or make me throw up if I can't remember this meal
you have failed yeah exactly I'd rather remember the meal then
then enjoy it I was about to break the next story but I
instead I decided to go check Castle Vidcons and see if they
broke it in a better way that I possibly could that's a that's
a long shot nowadays I think he must know that he must know
that has maybe maybe maybe no damn it it's real 599 US
dollars rip rip and piece Castle Vidcons well this piece of
news would be perfect for them Lord Vita is a no longer going
to have any production Lord Vita's firstborn son Vita TV
in Japan is now cease production yes it's everywhere
and it's not just Japan anything you have to oh really it's
everywhere it's done Vita TV is done oh it said the the
article that came out seemed to specific I later saw like
confirmation that it was everywhere refresh it I don't
know
you know but saying Japan really just Japan they're still
making American Vita TV well no they just haven't announced
that they've discontinued it all right yeah Japanese website
so in that article the PlayStation TV never broke 200,000
units out it's a hundred dollars how I bought one hundred
and I haven't taken it out of its package but I bought it
don't do it now yeah but you know what though like again
it's it's an it's a secondary like unit a thing it's a unit
that made it better in every way it's a definition of a
fucking like tertiary device I'm happy with my hundred bucks
same here
Sony's not no really but I mean the reasons I got it like
exist on the thing on it right now on my memory card hundred
hundred bucks for consoles at that impulse level it's like
one good game you know what would have been better than
making the Vita TV make make the the memory cards not be more
expensive than some consoles you're right that that actually
should have been the the fix you're right how about making a
non-proprietary memory oh no wait what Sony okay the things
you just said are actually the same thing yeah kind of no
but I'm saying but what I'm saying but what I'm saying is
that'll never happen because Sony that's the one thing that
Sony still does they have modernized so much of their
business they stubbornly refuse to take a guess why because
it's a profitable it's still profitable of course it is I
guess so that mule is making money no kick it it doesn't care
but it's making money after the UMD how could you possibly
had made money on that like how they didn't make money on the
UMD but then how well then why they double down on memory
sticks oh because the UMD there's a difference between
because UMD users mini discs yeah that's all they are no I know
they are but they are like proprietary so anything like I
think the UMD is sadder than HD DVDs you're right UMD sad UMD
gets an extra shit point because the UMD stands for universal
media and indeed and the balls to name the most proprietary
shit ever universal yeah it's it's it's covered in a plastic
sleeve that makes it a cartridge I always I always assumed I
needed to take off another layer and you don't know how many
times I was just like what but I don't the answer lies in the
heart of what you just said the HD DVD is embarrassing why
because Blu-ray one yeah which would be it would be the king
of everything Sony's making that Blu-ray money forever and
that's that's where they won there for sure yeah that in their
medical equipment are gonna forever be and their insurance
companies I think to yes they're quite there their insurance
division is quite quite profitable everything but their
phones or the other was it TV monitors dude was it TV TVs being
like a big loss for them I mention it when it happened when
they started to downsize that's why Sony TVs are the fucking
best they are the best TVs and the fact that in the relatively
near future you will not be able to get like as many or as good
like it's a fucking bummer they have the lowest input lag
they have the best picture sucks so what you're saying is if
I wanted to go and watch Gods of Egypt the best possible way
to do so would be on a Sony television yes all right yeah
one that's what I want to watch one of Egypt however one that's
off no says the entirety of North America so I'm not sure
if you saw this Pat but the budget for Gods of Egypt was
reported a hundred and forty million dollars and it barely
cracked 14 million over the over it's it's a shame they
didn't have enough money to hire black people. Now you know
who's the most but hurt about this? Gerard Butler.
Egyptian white people? No. Gerard Blut Blut Blut Blutler? Gerard
Blutler. You know what they should have done? I know a way
they could have made it. These actual Egyptian Gods themselves?
Maybe. Raw? They could have made everyone happy by just
having Gerard Butler play in blackface. Yeah. That's all
they had to do. They could have. They could have but they
back down. Well, he loves these types of stories. I think
that's why. Maybe the mummies alive are upset. No, no. What's
the meat and potatoes here? Director Alex Pryas. Director
of Dark City. Yeah. The pro and iRobot. Yeah. Get that for
a fucking. It's a weird. That's a resume right there. Goes
on for 20 minutes in text about how shit movie critics are
these days. You know what I love about this? I saw a poster
for Gods of Egypt ages ago whenever those posters started
to go up and I was I think I was with you guys and I pointed
at it and said that's gonna fucking bomb and you all went
mm. There was no doubt from any human on this earth that
this would be a disaster. It was like. Yeah. Embarrassing in
concept written in the sky alongside things like stealth
and I can't think of anything shitty. The second the first
attack on Titans made a show load of money but the second
one kind of. Whatever but just like from fucking a thousand
paces. You can you can see the failure. Is there any choice
quotes in there? Well actually there's one that I don't even
100% disagree with. What's that? And it's funny general
populace is stupid. So does the the Joe Blu article writer
where he says a locker critic in a room with a movie known as
ever seen and they'll probably not know what to make of it
and I will agree that some of the worst video game critics
at least because I know that a bit more will definitely
write according to to hype what the people think right now
and what they're supposed to say hype like you said yeah
versus what the actual thing is they're trying to write for
their audience a little too much you're out for the same
guy. What are you saying is the bad publicity of Gods of
Egypt in like you like fed into a lot of reviewers minds and
he's like calling them out because of that. Yeah you know
what I'm sure deep down with loaded opinions and that's why
they didn't like my movie. You know what I really want to wash
this film just to get that is that is the loudest and most
common cry of anyone who gets a bad review on anything. The
only reason you don't like it is because you decided you didn't
like it before you even watched it ate it saw it taste like
playing it it fuck off as far as choice quotes go though.
Where was it here we go this time of course they have bigger
access to grind that's friends those guys suck they can rip
into my movie while trying to make their mainly pale asses
look so politically correct by screaming whitewash that like
the deranged idiots they all are.
You whitewashed your movie that doesn't matter what people
are saying or where they're coming from it. You fucking took
a black country and made it all white people dumb or choose
to pretend to not understand what this movie is so as to serve
some bizarre consensus of opinion which has nothing to do with
the movie. I think I said this camera once but like if you're
going to look at the poster of this and you know what you have
to have one big white guy there you have to you have to you
have but that's all the major roles are big white guys it's
Jamie Lannister and Gerard Butler and who someone plays raw
it's like oh God who is it's like a well-known British Jeffrey
Rush. He plays that one cool black guy that can multiply
though that's the God of wisdom and he appears and apparently
he's an idiot. We got some good hits in the right. You can't
even get mad because it's so ridiculous. It isn't Africa.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Come on. The general tone. We're
telling a story here or what the general tone of that movie
should be able to go see the story or willy plus. No, get out
of here. No, we know we got movie tickets to sell man. You
know what I do imagine if they had blood diamond and it was
like all in the same roles like that's why blood diamond is
cool because it has the white dude that you need if you like
you have to relate to something but you but he's basically
teamed up. It's basically you can't relate to nothing. Yeah,
you need a human being. Right. So yeah, well, yeah, no, you
can't. Hey, hey, woolly. Yeah, come on. Let's be real. We
can't just film nothing. If no one if if we put just the blood
diamonds and then roll credits and the credit state the blood
diamonds. Woolly, if we were going to put Ken Watanabe on
the poster of the last Samurai, no one would have gone to see
that movie. Yeah, we got to sell tickets, man. Dude, the last
Samurai poster is still the worst thing in the world. It's
the worst. No, God's of Egypt is worse. No way. It says God's
of Egypt and there's a million characters. It's got Tom Cruise
dressed up as Saminovsky. And you know what the movie wasn't
even as embarrassing as that. No, the movie's actually quite
good in the last Samurais Ken Watanabe, but it's the plural
and it's about the the general group. But but the poster is like
fuck. Are you serious? Ashes and seas. Shit is hilarious. Yes,
Tom Cruise is a big get. So that one's okay. You know what I
like about this quote is that sometimes you look at a movie
and you'll go, Oh, that guy was forced to do that. No, he was
forced to directly by the studio. Yeah, it was for but his
post. He believes in the movie down on it. He loves it. He
thinks is great. And then that like kudos to you. It's hilarious.
I really want to watch this. Hey, that I made that guy that's
the leader of the bandits in the mummy, who's actually a real
Persian prince is super interesting fair and he's not a
real prince is not a real Persian prince. Shut up. That's
crazy. Interested in taking the role of Prince of Persia.
What? No, he can't have it because Jake Gyllenhaal. Okay.
All right. I rewatched the Persian not too long ago and I
actually think Jake Gyllenhaal is fine. Like he's okay as it
and they say he's not Persian. He's just this regular street
archer, right? But it's everyone else. The King of Persia is
white. His two brothers are not are not dark people who are made
to look darker. What I want everyone the bad part. I remember
I remember seeing the mummy when I was quite young and seeing
Odette fair being like this fucking badass and being like
and even as a kid being like, well, that solves that problem.
Just cast Odette fair in every like Arabic role ever done. Yeah.
And then that never happened. He got cast as a Hispanic guy
in Resident Evil. He's supposed to be Carlos Saliviera in
Resident Evil. Dude, so everyone everyone needs to go to go do
their homework and you need to go look up the trailer at the
very least for the Conqueror the Conqueror. Oh, you saw that
you saw that John Oliver bit. No. Oh, because that that was
mentioned. You're talking about the Conqueror with John Wayne.
John Wayne. Yeah, I did not see a John Oliver bit. This is
just something I know about this because because that was
the center. So the Conqueror. I want Matt to guess who the
yeah. Okay. Who is the Conqueror played by John Wayne in the
Conqueror? Genghis Khan. Yes. Genghis Khan played by John fucking
Wayne. I know about it from 1956. Oh, it's the go watch this
fucking trailer and just see the way things were done. All
right. Put the fucking mascara on the little most and you're
good to go. So what you're saying is progress has been
made. Well, I guess if you consider fucking that combined
with the fact that some 220 people died because they filmed
downwind from a super nuclear plant or whatever and the
nuclear testing was going on right on the place where they
were filming. At Bikini at all. And everyone got super cancer
and died really hard. Bonus. So I guess yeah, things have
improved. Progress has been made. These it usually happens
with the main characters like remember exodus, gods, gods and
kings or whatever the Ten Commandments remake or whatever.
You know, Christian Pales, Moses, Moses. Fine. Sure. I
understand. But but Ramses or whatever his brother is fucking
Joel Eglinton, the most non like no, no. These are the
mistakes like actually the main hero. Yes, I understand you
need to reach the widest audience. So you need to put a
human apparently in the role. Daniel Daniel Day, Lewis last
of the movie or Black Panther or Will Smith.
He's basically will Smith is is like the one. Hey man, I told
you already non threatening shades. Yeah, non threatening
parents just don't understand. That's what's important. That's
what's important. I really want I need to go see Gods of Egypt
because there's this one thing that's the takeaway. No, no,
because let me finish not because of any of that. That's all
still bullshit. Whatever. It's just got the one shot where
people are armored warriors with cool armor and they're flying
the sky like they're like the star stargate armor. I'm like,
ah, fuck. Ah, shit. Man, you know what that's cool. You know
what shows awesome stargate sg one. Yeah, that show is great.
I like Atlantis. You're crazy. I am but I like it too. You
know, it's a stargate stargates are good movie. I love let's
start there. Shall we? But dude, in sg one, it's MacGyver. Yeah,
I know, but in stargate, it's fucking Kurt Russell. It's win
for everyone. It really is. That guy's got that guy's got the
ram horn symbol on his head and he's all like, oh, it looks
the best man. Everyone likes it. It's great. You mean D
mob? Yeah. Remember, don't forget. Christopher judge is
fantastic. Yeah. Nobody ever beat stargates. No one will ever
figure out the seven and there was that one season where
tilt grew hair and was the weirdest thing. Oh, I like that
was the weirdest thing in the world. Whatever I saw him doing
that. I was like, I need to take a shower. Well, did I ever
explain to you the ultimate bedshitting that stargate sg
one does? Um, it's the ultimate. There's nothing that tops
it. The last season. No. Okay, so stargate sg one builds up
after eight seasons to an episode entitled threads in
which they take every single plot element that has ever been
introduced in even the smallest detail and completely and
satisfactorily resolve them in a fucking mastercraft amazing
like two hour long episode. Okay. And then the studio says
give us two more seasons. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yes.
That's that's because I have a friend that's really into it.
And she she she told me a similar story. I've never it's
like Naruto. Yeah. You get to threads and you watch it and
people tell you just stop. Yeah. Yeah. I know you have the
seasons that you don't. Here's it. There's nothing else. It's
crazy. It's crazy. Here's another spin on that. Spartacus the
TV show popular did good did well had a had a good progression
point and they had a good first season. Alright, let's start
more. The main character the actor has super cancer. Okay.
Alright prequel. Um. He's better. Bring him back. What do you
mean you're not on board? Wait he died now. That's the
progression. He came back for a bit then suddenly died. Yeah.
That's rough. No stupid hot. No I heard about that and that's
that's just a shitty place to be. I am I am shocked the game of
Thrones has had not had more trouble due to the amount of
incredibly old people that are in that show. I was thinking
that too. Like one of the people did die but they're off.
He was like dead in the show. They're they're like like over
a dozen people in that show that look like they're always
going to be in their mid to late 80s. And guess what if they
did it this script would roll with it. Yeah. What happened?
He fucking died. Wasn't he the show? Yeah, but we're in
Westeros so he died. Shut up. He's fucking dead. We're
spoiling the books now. So yeah, I guess we had this one more
story. What's the name of the works of Mercy is a first
person horror game that seems to be kind of got an interesting
concept. Have you seen this? I have not. No. So I guess PT
gets mentioned but I mean I guess it's just like in terms
of first person like you're stuck in your second one
apartment. Right. I see. But a deal is is fucking whatever
kidnapper creepy man calls you up on the phone plays for you
the sounds of your kidnapped wife and daughter. That's rough
and basically says you're going to help me by killing a bunch
of random people. Not many games are willing to like go that
hard on the appeal like that brutal. You have to listen to
what I say otherwise you're going to get some body parts.
So remember how it works and manhunt with that guy is
constantly in your or that's a deal you can't refuse. Yeah.
You know that works a manhunt with the guys in your ear
telling you like kill these people and do this. It's kind
of like that where he guides you through. Yeah, but it's you
do a bunch of tasks that person Brian Cox. It's it's not
it's a creepy ish British the weird older man voice. So we
like conceptually we have something interesting. So
the trailer kind of stops before anything actually goes
down. Yeah. But like step one is like call this hooker over
to your house and here's the tools you're going to need to
use to kill her knock knock knock on the door end of trailer.
I feel like uncomfortable even listening to this this breakdown
this game seems cool and as you're playing your you get you
have like little choices to say I'm like what do you want me
to do like do I know this person and you ask what did this
hooker do and the guy says I'm that's not up to you.
Yeah, this feels like it could either be like kind of like
amazing or like just it could be exactly exactly and here's
why here's why you know what I just did. I just did the thing
that they do when the manga Gaka comes up with a new killing
game rule set which is premise danger. Okay, there's nine
doors right and there's nine and there's nine people could you
and they all have watches right. What if and then what if and
do you have a satisfactory explanation only how long was
it when you were playing 999 that you've you turn the corner
and you're like oh this is not going to be trash it's going
to be amazing to endings in yeah. Yeah, so you're the yeah
you're totally you're you're you're you're examples perfect
it's like I don't know this could be anything this this this
has the full range of quality and 999 is one of the few that
turns out to not be trash because most of them do because
they didn't think it through and 999 is a slam dunk because
boy did they think it through. No one else thinks it through
they just go wouldn't it be cool and they go ship it. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. So here's the sound village. Oh, yeah. So why is
this guy doing this? What are his motivations? That is that's
the whole thing works of mercy is a solid fucking name too.
No, so it's a lot of time. It's a lot of time. The letters
of times. Boy, there's a storm is going to hit us really bad.
Yeah, power showing power showing me a big red death zone for
where we are Google alerts put a red thing in my in the
top of my phone going fuck there's a winter storm warning
active for 12 hours. You fucking get home and you fucks cut
to that picture the snowman holding the icicle spike.
Hazardous winter conditions are expected frost roller is
walrus riding through Fajrana drifts. Yeah, I have never seen
this phrase ever the snow combined with strong winds will
also give nil visibilities in blowing snow.
That's still not that's pretty nuts, but that's nothing
compared to thunder snow. Yeah, so I have a flight tomorrow
morning. Hey, looks like it might not nothing tops cancel
their delay. Nothing tops those magical Quebec words that
are freezing rain. Hey, Matt, I have some documents I would
like you to sign before you leave today. Oh, no, that's bad
here. Here. We already got a notice like hours ago saying
yeah, your shit's probably going to get delayed. We're just
giving you a heads up. You might want to sleep in. Yeah, God,
I could use it and the irony, of course, is that you're using
I'm trying to get out of it and it says no. I want to get out
that email is super best friend cast at gmail.com. You know
what isn't affected by snow and blizzards email that's super
best friend cast at gmail.com. What are we got for emails
this week? Tyler wants to know what your favorite lockpicking
mini game puzzle is. My favorite lock game mini game puzzle
is the oblivion one where you have to push up the tumblers.
I think far and away the absolute I didn't play thief the
absolute best. Yeah, the absolute like next. It should be
right. Yeah, it because here's here's what you know what
Willie at some point. Yeah, I want I want to come over and I
just want you to just have it on and just show me what the
fuck that thing is because I'll describe it as best I can for
the viewers and maybe at some point in the future people
will see it. But here's what you can probably look this up on
you to probably you use both sticks to rotate as if a pair
of actual lockpick. Okay, the the pick and the and the and the
holder and the pick and the hook and then you rotate them
until you hit the right sensitive spot, which is a very,
very, very slight rumble on that side controller and then you
hook in the other one and push. Okay. And there you get your
lockpick when you are fucking scrambled for time, however,
and you upgrade your abilities, you can then do the focus
version of this where you go, you do the same thing, but it
goes into the locks view and you can see the lifts of the lock
mechanism pulling and pushing that that part is similar to
the oblivion one, which you then lineups to be flush and pull
it right out. Now the I want to give honorable mention to the
New Vegas fall three fall four style lockpicking, not because
it's anything special, but because it's fast.
You don't like lockpicking. And no, I actually love it. I
actually love lockpicking. But like, there's a point that
system is very simple and very effective. And I've got really
good at it. And you know, guess what? Both your examples are
shit. All right, let's hear it. It's saw saws is pretty good.
It's first person. You are the lockpick. Yeah. And you have
to time yourself as you see the tumblers going and then the
camera goes from your your character's face into it. It's
so stupid. It's a genuinely cool idea. I actually like it. It's
really dumb. You your your camera is the front of the pick.
Yeah. I don't even it's so good. You have to look up a movie.
It's like the one thing of that game that's like whoa. Okay.
Good lockpicking mini game can substantially improve a game.
Also, I think I think it's like the the second or third
spinner cell where they really are starting to nail it.
And I want to give I want to give a big thumbs down. It's
not lockpicking, but it is hacking to bio shock bio shock
infinite. And what was the recent one that I was playing
that had the shitty hacking by shock by shock to no, no, it's
the same as by shock one. So I don't even include it. It's not
they change this completely. It's not the water pipes. They
got rid of the water pipes. What is it most often by shock
to it's the it's a simplified just like lights. I think that's
better than the pipe action system that the pipe thing is
gone. Shit. I can't remember the end fall out. The hacking and
all of those terrible just terrible. Just the worst. In fact,
you know what game has fucking awesome hacking day sex
revolution. That's a good one. Shit, man. I love I love that
game. That game is fun. That game is fun. Oh, so good. The
though the the the pipes were only in bio shock. They got rid
of them in infinite. There's Yeah, no, in infinite. You know
what you do? You point a magic hand at that thing you want to
hack and you just take it over. That's not even a hacking
minigame. Come on, get out of here related question coming
in from Michael and he wants to know what the best door
unlocking opening sound is. Yeah, like always the only game
that really puts emphasis on it. No, there's others. I like a
big heavy bolt. You know, you know, my house where I live
now, like that kind of clunk when you do it. I like that. I
like a big heavy ball. I don't like a creek. Like I like it
like a it's hard to it's hard to pick any particular one out.
But Resident Evil like you call it will be Resident Evil has
the best. There's not really much that crosses my mind that
that is the thing I like to be very low sounding. I don't like
the high pitched key turn. Yeah, I don't know if it really
counts, but I think the gates of Mordor had a pretty cool like
like thing going on. But anyway, yeah, that's already is the
thing that puts emphasis to specific. I'd need a lot of
time to build up a list. Get even more specific. All right,
let's do it. Andy wants to know who's the best Zappeli will a
Caesar or Jiro. It's well, I don't know about Jiro. It's
fucking Jiro. I will say I will say it's not even a question.
I will say Caesar because I don't know Jiro. I also really
like Caesar. He'll add to the length in battle tendency. Yeah,
I like he's better than his than his grandpa. Yeah, I agree to
that. And I and and really is telling us that the it's a
straight line up your quality over time. Okay, Jiro is top
billing on steel ball run. Okay. So far he's cooler than the
Jojo of that story line. He's three throws the balls and says
mozzarella, right? He throws the balls and he does the thing.
Yeah. Yeah. Um, in that order. Yeah.
Okay, we got on just an informative one coming in from
Sir hat and he just wants to break. He's like thing. The
thing about this guy is that it's a normal RPG where you level
up along the way and you grind a couple of bits. If you get
lucky and you if you sorry if you get stuck and hopefully
you're max level by the time you get to the end. Um, what if
grinding all the way to the max level was the midpoint of the
game? You're probably wondering who would spend hours if not
days just grinding near the wood boss mid boss. I would.
This guy is the game for a very specific type of person who
likes to grind. I love to level grind. It fills me with joy
knowing that I'm stronger than I was. Yeah, it's for Billy
hitting the level. It's for Billy hitting the level cap is
the bane of any game I've ever played because I know there's
nothing left. There's no next horizon and that's it. For me
this guy is tanking top and girl lagging. You have no limits
even when you're blowing up solar systems and throwing around
galaxies, you know, you can still be better. Yeah, I get it.
I know I get it. I don't like it. Billy Billy maxed out all
his FFT characters in the first battle. He maxed out all his
FF seven characters in the first forest outside of Midgar.
Yeah, he's nuts. Yeah, he's great. He's running FF 14 with
a Lancer. I'm just psycho understood. Still wrong about
that. Psycho. I got nothing. And I guess one of final one is
to pick. Well, Liam can't answer this unfortunately. Again,
which stands for form. It's like pick your single favorite
to Pokemon. Matt, he's assuming yours is far fetched. He is
correct. He's assuming Pat's is EV. No, I think that's not
correct. He likes EV, but yeah, it's EV. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah.
I got a lot of love for Gholirk. I think double edge is really
cool. This is new Pokemon shit. I like Zangus. What are you
talking about? Yeah, I know, right? I know. That's the thing.
That's not a Pokemon. Some of the new shit is really fucking
cool. But it's still gonna be Blastoise. Yeah, yeah, as it
should be. Like my other alternate would have been like
Venusaur. Venusaur's the shit. I have grown proud of my gen
onemanship. Yeah. All right. What's coming up? I was there
being a child before you. No. What? He was being a child
before you. No, I mean like gen one people get to say to new
Oh, I was a bigger child before you were a child. Much bigger
child. What's coming up? I believe we have a new LP starting
Saturday or Sunday. Yeah, it's about robots. It's about robots.
We might have talked about it in this podcast. No, no, we did
it. Yes, you did. Exactly. Robots really. You did. We like
it's about it's about the way are we back to not talking
about the LPs we're doing. We just did a video went up today
yesterday on vessel that spoils people still get people still
get super hype anyway. All right. It's about the line between
humans and robots. It's about the line. It's about Detroit.
It's about Detroit and Montreal. Please enjoy Robocop on the
Xbox and Hanksha. Yeah, you know what? It's not the end of
the podcast, but you can see it from here. So that's good.
Yeah. What else? Everything else is just continuing NBA XCOM
will continue maybe finish. I don't know. Sweet Georgia Brown.
Onward. You guys are playing that FFX. You're singing songs
and shit I hear. Are we? Yeah, I know. We are. Yeah, we're
singing songs. Yeah, we were singing it yesterday. That's not
good. That that particular episode I could be there for. Oh,
yeah, sure. We have a fucking great fisticuffs coming up.
Unexpectedly. Yeah, that was a good time. And you have to peel
through many layers to get to it, though. Yeah, there's some
fighting underneath them if you if you pull back the right
ones. Yeah, okay. And I think that's it. I think that's it.
Yeah, we're not gonna. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, we can we can
probably already announced what the next stream is going to be.
Yeah, I'm gonna put the announcement out properly. What's
that? But yeah, we're gonna be sitting and we're gonna be
playing the new release of Heavy Rain. Wait, wait, wait.
Specifically. Wait, who's gonna be playing it? I'm gonna be
playing because we have to complete it. We were talking
about the way that it should be pre stream existing like the
first idea for the stream was this. Yeah, but it kept getting
pushed back because we realized like wait a second. Well,
you've never even played Heavy Rain. So of all people of all
people, the time is just right because I got a code right
here for it happened just a few minutes ago. Ah, it's going
down. So I think we're gonna try to maybe hopefully somehow
complete the whole thing in one go. I would have to start it
early in the day. No, no, no, no, no. Here's the deal. Here's
the deal. What's the deal? We got the code. What's the plan?
What's the plan? What's the plan? What's the plan? What's
going down? But but but but Liam and I talked about this.
We how long to beat it? It's not happening in one session.
It's like 12 and a half hours. It's happening in two
sessions. Yeah, it's two streams. The speed run is seven
hours. I'm thinking in my head. How how is it that long?
Because it's because you can't skip anything. It's a pace that
David Cage locks you into. There's it's almost as if you try
to make movies over the course of 12 hours because it's
impossible. Hey, well, let me ask you on a serious note prior
to us diving in a heavy rain. What do you know about heavy
rain? I have I have the I know that there's that scene that
made Liam emotional. Yeah, I know that it involves playing
multiple characters. I know that there's the naked shower
thing. Yeah, but that's in every day. And I know that it's
apparently the most competent of the games. Yep. That's all
we told you that before the just in case and I also know
Jason Jason Jason but that's going to be weird for you to
come to after all this time but beyond that my template is
pretty much blank school. I'm keeping it that way with the
only thing written down is David Cage David Cage. Yeah. He is
not in this game. His name is at the top left in the margins.
He got points for writing his name. He he did. He did not.
Man, we're gonna have to have like a fucking post like when you
beat the game. I'm gonna have to have like a breakdown of the
extra bits because there's extra bits. There's knowledge
there's forbidden knowledge about heavy rain. Yeah. Yeah. You
said you had those like kind of stowed away and then you told
me them as I and they blew your mind. They blew your damn
mind so bad. It makes it way worse. Oh yeah. I'm not gonna
put out a date just yet because I don't know like Matt's leaving
for a week. Liam's sick. We should probably think very hard
about the day. We're gonna figure it out. No like any time
after after the eighth like the all right. It's March 24th.
Right. No. Stop it. We're gonna figure it out. I don't even
know what day that is. Um not a Street Fighter Tournament
Day. Oh yeah. That one. What are we looking forward to? I'm
looking forward to playing. Yeah. I'm looking forward to
playing more Street Fighter. I'm looking forward to finishing
super hot which I can probably playing more super hot. I can
probably finish super hot like in between the time I get home
and like when I have to raid tonight. I'm looking forward to
my new life as a complete shut in raiding and and going to the
bathroom in the dark and wow both of those are the same pot.
Wow. Pretty much and I and I'm looking forward to watching
episode two of Gundam Thunderbolt which came out and I
haven't checked out yet and it's the hottest new sex. Bro
Force finally comes out on the PS4 today I believe the hottest
with all with all the content in there so I'm gonna I'm gonna
hasn't Bro Force come out like 10 times. It's come out once
in early access and the once as a full steam. So how many
characters every time every time there was a new character
raiden is in it from Mortal Kombat because I'm like why do I
keep hearing about it? It's because those new characters
coming and it's also because it won the PlayStation Indie
contest. Right. It just destroys the other two whatever
they were. I don't know why they even had a competition
there but I'm gonna try to see if I like depending if my
flight gets delayed or canceled. I might try that tomorrow
and if I do my flight lots and lots you're looking forward
to Florida. Yeah I know I'm looking forward to just you
might run into Florida man. I made these jokes last year.
What about you might run into Florida. I'm gonna have a
three hour flight ahead of me so I'm gonna have lots to read
I'm gonna try to finish why the last man stuff like that.
Please do. But why? Because he's the last man. Oh York.
I hope I never read that so I can still keep making that
stupid man. My dad sure was lame. They named us after all
these dumb things that made our names dumb. You love Shakespeare.
It's really good. It is really good. Shakespeare's cool. If
he's so cool how come he's dead. Well he was too cool and then
he died. I wasn't an idiot. Wasn't there a movie that said
Shakespeare was a huge plagiarist asshole who stole
everything. Oh that's super possible. Not a lot of
documentation back then. Hey you go back to like any time
before like what fucking 1935. Nothing. You don't know nothing.
You don't know nothing. Everything's bullshit. All righty.
Thanks for finally pitching in. Wait what was that? It was
Oh it's so good. I think we were talking about I think I was
like Latin scholars. We were just talking about the Latin language
and it was like the use like maybe we're talking about like
the Smash Brothers theme song being awesome. It's like what
use was Latin prior to that song. Nothing. Fucking worthless.
Who gives a shit. Thanks for finally pitching in into the
Smash team. Latin scholars worthless for years up until
this point. Good job. It was all for this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
