Starting point is 00:00:30 What's the percentage? The percentage is now at eight hundred and seventeen percent increase. That's accurate. What? That is the amount of overwatch porn that is available. No, that is being searched for on Pornhub. So, as any normal person would, I had to research this article exhaustively, and it's inconclusive.
Starting point is 00:01:12 I still need to do more research. I'm a huge fan of the search terms that people use when they're not quite sure what they're looking for. Yeah. So it's just like overwatch, 3D overwatch, boobs, overwatch, boobs. That's what I'm looking for, I guess. No, my favorite term for when it's like an American franchise, 3D overwatch, hentai. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:38 With a dash between hen and tie. Overwatch, cartoon sex, tracer, boobs. What's that mean, guys? Reaper? It means a Blizzard game is coming out. It's so weird to me that Blizzard as this kind of video game American Disney just started to occupy that space in the universe. Well, everything, as soon as it comes out, if there's good designs like porn right away.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Yeah. And even if there's not good designs like Ninja Turtles, sometimes it won't. Yeah. Porn right away. They'll find a way to make it work. April and Neil's been busy. Like, guys that make like, you know. The puns in that trailer are hilarious.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Guys that make porn out of stuff like that, they literally sniff around like, like, buildings that have creative types, and they're trying to look through the windows to see what's new that's going to come out. And they're like, look, I got to get ahead on the porn, so I'll start making porn things that don't quite exist yet. Yeah. There's little interpretations of it. That's called the cutting edge.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Well, why the fuck are you doing math with a calculator? He's looking up Overwatch porn. Welcome to episode 817 of the podcast. 817% is like one of the most accurate numbers that imagine. There we go. Down to the decimal point. I like it. I missed a few.
Starting point is 00:03:02 And I wish, I wish that we can go into the future living our happy lives and every once in a while being greeted with a porn hub fact. Yeah. Like about what's going on. Well, they dropped them every now and again. Yeah. Well, what was the last one? That was super interesting.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Every year they do search terms by US states. Yeah. That one was a good one. Search terms by nation and provinces. No, no, no. It was what it was. They had that one that was break down by console that they've done a couple times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:27 The last one we brought up was. Porn hub was pretty funny. The last one was porn was down on the weekend that something came out. Yeah. Yeah. What was it? I don't remember. It was a game, but I remember.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Halo. I think it was Halo. It might have been Halo. Yeah. It was probably down on Halo. I don't think it was Halo. Yeah. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:48 It was a big game anyway. Yeah. So I just I love these little factoids. Porn went down when Star Fox came out. Super interesting. Wait, it went up. Oh, no. It keeps going back and forth.
Starting point is 00:03:56 It keeps going back and forth. Oh, yeah. I can't tell. It's too late, mother. I've seen everything. It's a divisive weekend for porn. All right. So trying to find that article by typing the phrase porn down weekend into Google didn't
Starting point is 00:04:09 work. Oh. Shut the fuck up. I'm writing that down. That shit didn't work. And that was fast. Hey, what podcast is this today? 817.
Starting point is 00:04:22 This podcast is called. 410 billion. Porn down weekend. Title established. Is that the fastest? That is the fastest. I think it might be. With the exception of like possibly one or two where we would have known going in.
Starting point is 00:04:36 We had a bit, but that's we're in there. What number podcast is this? 144. That's crazy. 144. There's a bunch of esoteric facts about that. I'm sure. Pick one.
Starting point is 00:04:48 He's holding up cards, Pat. Just pick a card. You weren't quite ready for this, were you? Pick a card. But it's divisible by 12. Man, I don't know. Fuck you. 144 goes into 817 5.6 times.
Starting point is 00:05:01 That's why you were doing the calculator shit. 817. That's no prep at all. Fuck you. So when not looking up overwatch porn. I'm going to get a better fucking fact. I didn't really do much else other than that. No, it's been a hard week.
Starting point is 00:05:16 That's taken a lot of research. You're looking pretty dehydrated. Yeah, I'm spent. Get you some water. Exactly. But no, seriously though, Matt, did you play overwatch? Yeah, I actually played a few matches of overwatch before we took a look at it and a little bit after. And you know, it's kind of weird because it's still a beta, so a lot of some things you
Starting point is 00:05:38 can't quite do yet. I really feel like calling that a beta is like, come on, it's coming out in two weeks. Actually, they did confirm that what you got there today is going to be the release. Yeah, I mean, certain things like skins and stuff, you can't do anything with them yet. You can get skins. Yeah, you can, but they'll be white. All the progress and all the achievements are going to be white. White, yes.
Starting point is 00:06:00 It's hard to get the money. There probably is going to be a better way to get it. So hard to get the money. With your credit card. Yeah, probably. It'll be really easy. See, there's certain skins that I'll gladly pay for. Earning through the loot boxes is just, it takes a while.
Starting point is 00:06:15 But all the good ones, the Gurren Lagann, Reinhardt's skin is fucking a thousand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what we do know is that they're adding the competitive mode, basically. But beyond that, it's going to be what you got right now. Which is apparently just, even now, just rife with cheaters. Rife with cheaters. Yeah. Just hilarious.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Dude, here's what I don't get. Here's what I don't get. Footage of competitive players who've done interviews clearly using aim box. And it's not just people that use turrets, either. What I don't understand is that if you are a competitive player in a video game thing, right, your time is limited. If people can see what you're doing, you will be found out. Like, unless you have an aim box that's not as suspicious as it would be.
Starting point is 00:06:58 And low and behold. And especially, it's a blizzard game who crack down pretty hard on cheating. They don't like cheating. Because they put money into their games. How did you find your games? How did I find them? How much fun did I have? How did you enjoy them?
Starting point is 00:07:14 I enjoyed them other than the fact that, like, when I want to cut... I was like, well, I want to just do, like, you know, just like a deathmatch or whatever. Then I go into customize. And I would see 13 pages of customization of all the different things. And I'm like, ah, fuck it. No, I'll just find a quick game. I was just like, I don't have the patience to set up a game. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:07:33 I never even clicked on custom. Yeah, no. But I just wanted to see it. I imagined that the custom thing is so complex so that blizzard has a game that may accidentally create another game mode that's Dota. Totally. And yeah, no, I played a couple of games, just like, you know, the random teammate stuff and the protect the loads or whatever.
Starting point is 00:07:52 You got to protect your load. Convoy. Everyone's trying to get some. And scored the great big con. I can't believe you're doing that joke too. Are you doing that joke also? We were cracking up. I think the game is pretty fun, even though it's not typically the type of thing that
Starting point is 00:08:09 I like to play. Like this is just, you know, the multiplayer stuff. But I mean, it plays well. Like all the characters, like even though there's somebody like more than others, all of them are still pretty fantastic. All of them at least have one skin that's fucking amazing for each guy. And it's just like, yeah, it's just good, simple, fun, not much more than that, but it's good stuff so far.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I really, really liked it. I like, so I was really intimidated because it's like, well, I have this big fancy PC, so I want to play it on a PC, but like I'm old now and my mouse and keyboard shooter skills are gone. Right. Luckily player movement in that game is not so fast that that's a big enough issue. And it's no quake. Like I like, I remember me and you were talking about very briefly.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I was being a smarmy little shit about how much of a MOBA it was. You were being a smarmy little shit. But now that I have actually played more of it, there are elements of it that are very MOBA-like. The way you're cool, the way your cooldowns work. Skills. That's it. The way your skills work is identical to a MOBA.
Starting point is 00:09:09 But like, is that attributed to MOBAs or is that attributed to any RTS that came before that? The four skill thing is so attributed to MOBAs now. It's two skills. Okay. But the four skill thing is super attributed to MOBAs because a lot of games like. But it did exist before MOBAs. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And they are set to the same buttons. But more than that, it's that the abilities that they use are like carbon copies of abilities that are common in MOBAs. Like Mei with her ice wall and her and Roadhog with his chain grab and stuff like that. Like those are direct. Though these are really tangential things versus like actual MOBA gameplay elements that don't really exist. You know, the match type or whatever.
Starting point is 00:09:53 There's nothing MOBA like in the gameplay. But MOBA is more than its match type kind of thing. Dude, like just all the different characters interacting is such a blast. They're all really, like they're way more different than TF2 classes. Way, way more. And I had a situation where I went in with by myself a couple of times and that was always like a mess. Then I went in with a full team and the first thing that happened was my team got completely
Starting point is 00:10:19 hurt by real players. And then after a couple stomps, like it tries to keep you in the same match so that you don't have to match make unlike a MOBA which will match make every time. It then goes, okay, we're trying to find a better skill gap between you and your next opponents. And on the next one, it was like even. It was actually really, really even. Did you try it at all, Ian?
Starting point is 00:10:44 No, but I've watched a lot of matches of it. I know a lot about the game, but I played it. My beta key just never arrived and it kind of frustrated me actually. Really? Yeah. I pre-ordered the game ages ago and it was just kind of shitty. Well, it was open for a few days at least. Yeah, but I still didn't know.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Yeah, you just did it. Yeah, okay. A weird thing for me, sorry. Just really quickly. A weird thing for me is just the fact that like when people talk about, you know, wife rewards and stuff, I'm always like, yeah, sure, I guess, but I've gone in super hard on this really, really bad where I went from like not caring about like, I don't know, like your persona girls or whatever, like almost anything.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Yeah, I remember your eye rolls having noise to them. I just remember being on Twitter and seeing Cranky go, I like this character. I'm like, you like garbage? Like it's really weird because up until like. It bubbles out of your gut. Up until like three months ago, I barely remember that Overwatch was a thing. Totally. And the last time I remember cognitively remembering seeing it was at PAX East last year when there
Starting point is 00:11:50 was a giant Overwatch booth and that's all I saw. It was so big that you can never miss it. And I was like, oh, Overwatch, that's that thing with that really bland name, which I still think it's a bland name and a bland kind of logo. But that's lizard game. It's that's barely. But now there's a fire in your eyes. Tracer is mine.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Tracer, Widowmaker, Pharaoh. It's the differences you got to actually play as them and get an attachment to their. I guess so. I guess so. But like, it's just also the the the Pixar kind of aesthetic also kind of helps in a weird way. And then the CG movies helped a lot too. It's very, it's very flavorful.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Winston's a waifu basically. Yeah, very flavorful. I hate Winston. I like him too. I like him. Winston's got cool stuff though. Like I like some of his stuff, like his lightning gun that shoots through shields, shoots through shields though.
Starting point is 00:12:36 That's. Damn it. Like it's really cool. Okay, so that. No. Okay. Winston's got a lot of cool stuff. Everyone's got weird gimmicks that I wasn't aware of until right after the beta ended.
Starting point is 00:12:48 So a friend of mine was telling me that. It's not ended. It's going until. It's one more day. They added a day to it. It's ending on the 10th. Sick. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:57 I can go in because you know, Farah, you know, she has her jump or big jump. Yeah. If you're indoors, it becomes a super fast dash forward. Oh yeah, it's true. Because if it can't, if the game determines that you can't jump, it'll go forward instead so that you can get out to outside. You were saying something before and I. So I opened up the client and it didn't close the entire time the beta was running.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Yeah. I do. You just out tab out there. I've probably put in my gamer time, my game timer. I think is that nine hours right now. Yeah. I'm in. So it's really good.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Beyond a shadow. Really, really, really good. Like I, the one tweet I put out was basically I, if Overwatch was third person, it'd be my perfect game. Yep. It's not that it isn't. It's, it's a big bummer that it's not third person because you, you can't see your character. And I love these characters.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Like what do you like? Do you like Genji Woolly? I think he's super cool. He's super cool, but I don't use him. But I don't use him. It's really frustrating. And that, that applies to most of the cast is I think you're super cool. I don't use you, including me.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Yeah. It's like Woolly, like not only is it you. It's what you want to be. But it's what you wanted. Totally. But sometimes when you get there. But I'm not a support cast dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:11 So I don't play Luchia. So, so like Reaper, like, oh, so in, I'm not really, he's a little like two on the nose to what I actually want that I don't want him. But with his old costume. With his old costume. But his old costume. That's what I wanted. That's super cool.
Starting point is 00:14:24 So. It looks like he could be on Luchia Underground now. So I've, I've learned a lot doing this. And a couple of things like just interesting observations because I didn't play much team fortress at all. Yeah. I thought I was going to get into TF2 when it was coming out. I never never got in.
Starting point is 00:14:42 But in this case, I definitely did. And I do think that, you know, the characters and the aesthetic differences are like making a difference to me. Yeah. But I, the one thing I'm still not used to, and this is just like a testament, I guess to not playing a lot of first person shooters in general. I'm not used to killing a bunch of people and being like, yeah, I want to do a good. I killed like three people.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Bam. And now I'm, or getting a five kill streak. And now, and, but then just kind of waiting to die because you have to die eventually. The feeling of like defeating someone in a fighting game is like you beat them and then the round ends. Yeah. And now you're, you're good. And then we go on, but in a fight, but in a first person shooter, especially one like
Starting point is 00:15:21 this, you have to die. Dying is the cycle. Not necessarily. You don't have to die. You just. If you're amazing. You back up and recoup. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:30 If you're amazing, you can, you can play a flawless game. Just, just work on your objective instead. The game loop assumes you're going to get a bunch of kills and then get killed by respawned guys with more life and, you know, and, and, and who are responding closer to whatever the objective. And yeah. And, and, and, you know, and so I'm just, I'm just like, they're all that feeling of like, oh shit, I fucked up every time I died is like something that you have to kind
Starting point is 00:15:51 of go like, well, but you didn't always fuck up. Sometimes you got ambushed. Sometimes half your team was dead and you, you was very little. You was you versus the entire other team and you had no fucking chance. And so that's how I kind of are thinking about how so many people rage quit hard and like make those rage like videos about them losing in like Call of Duty and Halo and first person shooters a lot because dying is part of the equation to some degree, unless you're a god. Unless you're amazing, you're where you're playing a character that's particularly defensive
Starting point is 00:16:22 and hanging back. Like you will die. When you're, yeah. When you, when bad luck or bad beats happen and took me, it took me a minute to kind of just get used to that. Also, also characters that like succeed while dying. So there's a, you know, diva, she shoots out her robot. Of course.
Starting point is 00:16:39 A huge bomb. Like there was a play somebody sent me where a Reinhardt saw that happen. Totally. And charges charge it out of the way out of the arena. So that doesn't kill any of us. And you're not going to get the play of the game for saving everybody. But you should. But you're a fucking hero.
Starting point is 00:16:54 There's some really cool stuff that they have in this game that like, yeah, things like that, things like, uh, the fact that you can attach a sticky bomb to like, um, junk rats wheel special and have him wheel up and do more. Yeah. Uh, you can, you can, you can have all kinds of little tricks where you combine one special with another to get amazing results. So I, I, I want to ask, uh, Liam, you, you haven't played it, but do you have any character that you would particularly lean to or stands out in your mind?
Starting point is 00:17:24 Uh, I, I, there's a lot that I want to pick. I don't like, I'm not really keen on junk rat. Uh, I really like soldier 76. Yeah. With hitscan stuff. I'm really keen to, It's hitscan super so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:37 No, I'm, I'm really keen to try that. I think he's really interesting. I've got you in my sights. Hide, hide, hide. Okay. Yeah. Don't even fight. Diva, Diva's pretty neat, but I'm not sure I like the idea of ditching your Mac.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah. Exactly. It seems really tricky to, to, she seems ridiculously weak without her Mac. So she's weak with the Mac too. Yeah. Uh, Hanzo and, um, God, what's his name? Uh, no, no, the, the Delsim guy. Uh, Zenyatta.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Zenyatta. Yeah. Zenyatta's my favorite healer guy. Um, no, there's a whole bunch. Like honestly, lots of them. There's, there's very few that I'm not interested in. Yeah. Well, but, uh, so to the, to the guys who did play the game, who did you gravitate towards?
Starting point is 00:18:14 Uh, okay. So I've already confirmed that I don't use me. Yeah. So take a guess. Unfortunate. You don't use you. I have, I have. So Roadhog.
Starting point is 00:18:24 No. Cause I don't know your first person shooter tastes. Yeah. Like he has none. Yeah. Exactly. So I'm knowable. I'm, I'm, uh, hypermaning Reinhardt.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Okay. Uh, I'm alting Zarya. Zarya. Zarya. The mother Russian girl. Oh God. I picked her so heavy for TF2. I picked her so not often and saw her in game so not often that I didn't even know her fucking.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Yeah. I didn't see much of her. Her gimmick is really weird compared to a lot of the other shield yourself. Shield your friends and then your damage. Get your damage up. Yeah. Uh, so I secondary Zarya and everyone, everyone has a pocket bastion. Not me because it's free kills.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Not me. Really? I can't, I never. At some point in the fight, you're going to see pocket bastions because it's just like you camp up when the guy where the team is not looking and terrible. Yeah. You get the play of the game because you just wipe out three people in two seconds. Like it's always fun when you're really winning really hard and the team goes like four bastions.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Yeah. Well, that's no too many bastions is bad because you get counterpicked really hard. But like we were playing, we were digging around last night like with a full team and like you could actually do a full team of Zarius and protect each other and yourselves. Yeah. And buff yourselves up and go in hard. Like thinking like, you know, a full team is never the best, but just I can imagine how infuriating it would be to play against like a full team of tracers.
Starting point is 00:19:51 You don't have the right characters to deal with. Or a full team of maize. Hard counter, a full team of maize was garbage. We actually did that. Oh really? It was terrible. But hard counterpicks. Oh because you have no long range ability at all.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Hard counterpicks. You just have tons of walls all over. Become a problem. You build your own arena. Nothing happens. You make your own forts. So here's the other thing. When you play on your own, you get thrown into whatever games with whatever team compositions.
Starting point is 00:20:12 It's pretty messed up. You ultimately, you have people that are playing different characters, looking and seeing what needs to be there. The game will even suggest. That is the biggest thumbs up that I wish would be translated back into Hero of the Storm. It's like you have a bad composition. Fix your composition.
Starting point is 00:20:30 No dealers. No support. No offense. No, you know, whatever. Really, really cool. Too many vests. Too many that, right? And so you usually end up getting balanced out because people look at that and go,
Starting point is 00:20:40 Okay, I'll pick my second favorite character or my third favorite character. When you play as a group and you travel into games with all six of you, you get paired up with other groups. You don't get paired up with other individual teams. That's what happened to my group is like we ran into a bunch of guys who were also clearly using Discord, but they knew how to play first person shooters. And it was not even, it was a fucking massacre. So that was the, so like straight up, as soon as we played that first six person game,
Starting point is 00:21:09 we got wrecked. But then it was also like guys were not talking, were not coordinated and these guys are very clearly coordinated. There is a world of difference between your team game and your pub game here. They were like, you're watching like strategies, clearly like a team of three and a team of three moving as a unit, complimenting each other. And it was like, you couldn't penetrate. So we start, we got on Discord and we started talking and like made it work and the communication
Starting point is 00:21:37 aspects and the fact that these characters are designed so well to balance off of each other makes the game a blast. I fucking love it. Reinhardt and Zarya, how about you, Matt? I haven't played every single character. Like I haven't tried Zenyatta or Symmetra, sorry, Symmetra is weird. She's the only design I'm not hot on. I really like Symmetra.
Starting point is 00:22:00 People are going to kill you now. Good job. Her last skin is she's just sheba. Her Deva skin is awesome. Yeah. For me, it's actually, yeah, it would probably be Farah right now, just because I think her mobility is really good and like her ultimate, which is just being the fucking reins from above.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Just swarming the missiles is really cool. And I like Tracer a lot. Like other than the fact that she's like fun and cute or whatever, it's her, her actual guns remind me so much of the double cyclones from Perfect Dark, the way that they shoot. I love that gun. So that's kind of why I'm like, yeah. The way Reaper tosses his guns away too is really cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:35 That too. I've only played like one match as Reaper, but that, and I played a little bit of Winston and like, yeah, that's why he's like weird, but I'm like, he's just so kind of, and again, his animated short does a lot. Like I know it's probably unfeasible, but if they had done like one for everybody, everyone that's a lot of money. I'm sure they will. As the money.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I'm sure they will. If any come out, they're going to. Cause there's like, I guess, like maybe that's all live was Widowmaker and, and I was going to say, I don't think Roadhog and Junkrat are going to get separate ones. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. I think everyone will have their, have their moment.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Yeah. Because you do Genji and Hanzo together. Yeah. And they have their young outfits for a reason. Yeah. Plus there's the origins outfits that a lot of the characters get as well. You know, there's definitely going to be more of those for sure. They've got the money.
Starting point is 00:23:28 And like ultimately, I think I said this before. No, well, you've got the money. I've got the money. The point. Yeah. Is that I would love it. Love it in the future. Like hopefully Lore Wars is a big success.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Like I would love it. Like just an actual CG animated movie. Oh, yeah. Well, they're already, they're already doing that thing in theaters now where like on opening on the launch date of the game or whatever, they're playing all the CG stuff in theaters. I know that. It's like free showings or something. So I got to say, like dicking around with support characters and non offensive characters.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Like it was really interesting to see very weird how you can like still have a ton of fun just being a support. So what they've done to the support classes in this game makes me like want to shit all over support classes and other first person shooters like Mercy's moveset is the best fly. Just she did you have not played the button at the game. She has a shitty pistol that doesn't matter and you hit shift while looking at a teammate and you will fly to them no matter where the fuck they are and you're there and you're
Starting point is 00:24:30 healing them. And when they're healed, you can instead buff them to do more damage. And it kind of like takes out the boring parts of being a medic or a support class. Yeah. And her vision allows her to see where the team is and what damage you have. All support types have that. On the map. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:46 All support types can see all their teammates everywhere at all times. And of course her ultimate is heroes never die. And it's an AOE res. Yeah. So she resurrects you. But it's super great when you kill her mid into mid-strength. You know you get anyone's ultimate like I've got it also has the side effect of super exposing aim bots.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Yes. Which is awesome. Yes. So will he went in deep in another way by resurrecting just get killed immediately. No. So the way that was one of the ways the guy got exposed the way the guy got exposed. He was aiming somewhere and then the team got revived and the aim bot just went like to all the revives.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Like it shoves between five players in because they're all just appearing suddenly and it's like oh I gotta be on their heads. Oh you fucking scumbag. Wow. Well like we said before he just completely got exposed. Yeah. It was nice. And he didn't interview about how good the game was and shit.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Yeah. Proud he was to be like playing competitively and shit. So I just want to get like just before that I played a lot of Roadhog. Roadhog is fucking awesome. He's such a pain to fight. His chain extends so much farther than it looks visually. It's a real problem and he's like most in a lot of cases he's a hard fight for Reinhardt. Because like the thing that I was I was doing is like just shotgunning them usually kills
Starting point is 00:26:00 them if they're Tracer or if they're Wintermaker or whatever. But better than that it's like grab Bastion. Grab Reinhardt. Grab one of their defense guys. Also Tracer's movement abilities are so nuts. Yeah. The cool part though is kind of her deal. When she does rewind.
Starting point is 00:26:17 She gets her health back. But you do have an idea of where she's going to be. So that's why like I usually use up all my dashes at the beginning of the fight so that it becomes very unclear where I'm going to be when I rewind. But fighting Tracer once like if you have the fight in your mind you can hit her with a rock at the instant she comes out of it. It's great. Yeah like when it was fair the sort of thing where it happened where I'm like let me just
Starting point is 00:26:43 put down some fire over the oh there you go. And Tracer teleports into her own fucking death. Torbjorn Torbjorn like as I'm adored but seriously like I wanted to like the engineer in TF2 but the thing that always drove me crazy is that his turret like has like a cone like a vision cone Torbjorn's is fucking 360 degrees. And his ult is so strong. His ult makes him stronger than any other character in a fight and makes his turret stronger than any other character in a fight.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And I'm not 100% but he might he might also get a slight heal when he uses it. No but he is his health doubles. Okay that's what happens. Yeah. It's fucking strong. And when he uses it his health doubles and it goes to full so like he goes from like being weak to being like a one on one fighter with like what's his name. Death Reaper man death Reaper Reaper Reaper Reaper.
Starting point is 00:27:41 You've said his name in time and you don't remember his name. It's so on the nos it's so on the nose. Who would I really appreciate it. I didn't know I knew this for some of the characters but I really appreciate the fact that they almost all like except for Winston technically they all have real names like Reaper's name is like Ezekiel something. Oh yeah yeah yeah Reaper Reaper it's their code names. Yeah and you go on to his last costume and it's like I think it's Isaac or something
Starting point is 00:28:04 like that. Reyes Reyes. It's a dude. Like Tracer is Lena, Lena, Austin and like so everyone has real names like even the robots have like a fuller name and I just like McCree is Jesse McCree because of course why would it be. That's a weirdly weird thing that I like because they didn't have to do they could all just be just have one more name.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Well I think I think the origins stuff is supposed to like explain their past and where they came from. Oh and May I had a blast with May. May is really cool. A wonderful moment where you throw out her ultimate and it freezes the entire team and then your buddy as Farrah uses her ultimate and there's the whole team. Well like I was going to say like you didn't see much of Zarya but Zarya's ult combined with anyone else.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Oh anyone else's anything. So Zarya's is a black hole that sucks everyone together. Does no damage but it sucks everyone into one spot. Anyone else's with that and everyone's fucking done. So you said you put in nine hours Pat do you know how much you put in. I put in I feel like I put in about that. Maybe a little less. So like I put in maybe an hour and a half but I went double down in a different way
Starting point is 00:29:11 than you guys that the Tracer statue at my door that that for two purposes one I wanted it for and to kind of like kind of like product research there's something about your tone I wanted it. It's a really good statue. That came in and I haven't it's probably one of the nicest collectibles I've had and the only thing I'll say about it though is it has a little light base. Yeah the little orange part of the overwatch like oh logo lights up and that's kind of cool but the only thing I'll say is that I really wish that the actual blue Tracer
Starting point is 00:29:49 streak that goes into her which is just supports her back so she doesn't go around. It'd be so much cooler if that part lit up blue around that's the only thing that's a knock against it because everything else is just sublime on this one the real legacy statue where he's doing the show you can have a light as well. It's supposed to light up the blue part but it doesn't do it so it's super super thinking about like death grim reaper guy or whatever that's like deathman did anyone really like him playing as him like he's fine right? I didn't touch him.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Don't stand out. His teleports are cool. The way that I'm thinking about it is about his teleports is that I love how Blizzard's designed these characters to fit very specific FPS niches where there are people who their favorite thing in a game is to somehow get behind the other team and shoot them all in the back and they built an entire character around getting behind the team and shooting them in the back and like there's infinite potential for more of these characters. I'm also a huge fan of he's teleporting and you see him teleporting in so you know to
Starting point is 00:30:54 stand there and as soon as he appears he's getting pushed to the wall. Yeah no, no as soon as you see him he's done. I hope you guys are enjoying the Overwatch cast for really marking out. Well it's going to happen again in two weeks when we get more time. Totally. Like man I completely ignored it right up and I completely ignored the entire beta period where I was like I had a friend of mine give me your early beta code and I could have played it like three extra days early and I was like it's just Overwatch I'll try it out and then
Starting point is 00:31:23 when I finally did try it I was like oh shit yeah. There you go really really quickly because I'm sorry no you haven't. No I was just going to say that like as we were talking about the support classes and stuff the one thing I didn't want to say is like I feel like in the end I preferred Luchio as the support guy just because the speed up thing helps Reinhardt so much. Yeah well the speed up thing is did the whole team get wiped okay put the speed on and you and turn it up and then the whole team is back right back in there. Or teleporter.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Yeah. Did you play Zenyatta? At all. I didn't touch him either. He's the support type that most people that don't like the other support types like because he has his moves are. Orb of Discord and Orb of Harmony right. Yeah so Orb of Harmony as you just point it at somebody and a little turret just heals
Starting point is 00:32:08 them forever it appears like it heals until they're full and then Orb of Discord as you hit that on somebody and they take double damage and his regular attack is pretty decent so you throw like you throw an Orb of Discord on Reinhardt and all of a sudden like his shield just popped and he's dead. And his ult where he starts glowing. Yeah he becomes totally invincible and heals everyone in a giant AOE round. Embrace tranquility. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:32 You were going to say? Just really good because I did play a few other random things really aside from Overwatch. I put some time into Alienation on the PS4 which is again one of the most forgettable names I've ever seen but that game is pretty solid. I don't play it to the Six Shooters a lot but this one just plays nice and I just like it. It also smacks up a lot of XCOM though just it's set up and Aliens are taking over. The Future Soldier art yeah so it's a really pretty game though like their particle effects
Starting point is 00:33:03 are nuts. It's actually really really pretty and it just it plays well so that's basically it. It's a little less risk taking than Outland. Outland was the Ubisoft game. Well it's by the same guys. Yeah it's the same developer. Housemark made it. Housemark made it.
Starting point is 00:33:20 It's just that that was like a little like you know riskier in terms of its theme or whatever because that was cool. I played a little bit of Star Fox Zero about ours so the first three missions I really actually like it like yeah controls take a lot of getting used to but I mean like that's it. Other than that like wow this mission was fun. The shooting feels good and like the only thing is that Peppy's voice is not perfect. How do you feel about the complaints from some people?
Starting point is 00:33:49 This is Peppy that's trying to talk like an old man. It's worse than that. Like it's like that but kind of. Sorry were you seeing? How do you feel about the complaints from some people where I don't agree with it but a lot of people are commenting on how the game looks really ugly. I don't think so at all. No I think it looks fantastic.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I don't know I feel like I'm the first person to join a hop on that band again and I'm seeing it. It looks good. Yeah no absolutely. It looks like what I would expect I mean let's say you haven't played your Wii in a long time or you've never played one and then you really like Star Fox you're like oh shit and then you go I can see someone going uh it's not as pretty as I thought. Yeah no it's just roots from like screenshots where people are looking at the textures
Starting point is 00:34:27 and they're like oh these textures aren't great yeah but you fly by them and like you're there and you're gone. Like I'm sure if you stop after Burner Climax in a screenshot form there will be some things that look good. I'm sure if you drop an R-Wing into an empty UE4 default forest and do that same fucking video again it's gonna look nice but it's not what this game is. But yeah I need to play it a bit more but you know I can see like people like trying the controls and like not unjustifiably going I don't like that and just going but as I
Starting point is 00:34:59 played it more and more I'm like I can totally yeah I'm starting to do it starting to do it and then like that felt good and then I stopped playing for that because other stuff to do. I also was reading a bunch as probably Woolli or at least Liam knows that I've been reading Sardis Crusaders getting through it since I finished Battle Tendency and I just have to like I wrote on Twitter I just I still can't believe the line uh that um what was it? Caculean.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Caculean goes a stand can't do that this is reality not some type of fantasy. Yeah. I can't believe the dumbest thing anyone's ever said in anything. But that's Araki that's the way he writes. I know it's it's amazing in that way. It's real to them. Damn it. It's real to them.
Starting point is 00:35:42 I can't believe it. Matt are you planning to watch it? I don't know because because I don't want to watch Battle Tendency now that I've read it all. Okay. Is that just like should I not even bother? Because the thing is that if you don't watch it you're missing out on some amazing animation and some amazing music.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Because I watched most of Phantom Blood like I didn't watch any Battle Tendency and I did watch like there's three episodes of of Sardis Crusaders the new one and that's where I stopped. There's nothing wrong with with going through the manga of course that's encouraged but the music and the intros are so good. So so I had a stream a few nights ago. I just watched the intros and I had a stream a few nights ago and then I remember one of you guys vaguely talking about the podcast and I just kind of quizzically move my head around like what the fuck are they talking about?
Starting point is 00:36:38 They mentioned the words Jojo and Savage Garden and it didn't quite get what they meant. Right. And I was like whatever and then I was just yeah I was looking at random Jojo music and I was like okay yeah the opening theme of Phantom Blood all that and I just see Jojo Part 4 like and I was like this is what they meant they actually got the fucking Savage Garden song I totally get and now like I love that like I always like that Savage Garden song. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Who does this? And then what was it you said like Savage Garden was ass and they were humbled like yeah we would love to. And they put him on the cover of their new release. So I used that song in the stream opening or whatever and that was real fun and like and they walk like in Egyptian and everything else. That's the one thing is just like there's some stuff that they do that you'd be missing out on and like and particularly like to see as well like you know the to be continued
Starting point is 00:37:30 thing obviously. The reason why people do that is because when it's done in the show it's fantastic. Because I haven't seen it so strong in the show yet. There's also some good fights that I think are really fun. Benefits from animation. Okay no wait hold on. The fights don't benefit from animation so much as they benefit from the sound. Because the show is not that well animated.
Starting point is 00:37:53 It's mostly just cuts to well illustrated motion comic stuff. Kind of. Like there's not that much in the way of like smooth fighting or anything like that. But they don't. But it's really representative of the manga. But they don't hold back on Dio I'll say that much. And I like the thing about the not stand proud but the end of the world like the second start is crusaders.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Yes. You mean yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. That that. Keating auras. Exactly. So you really like I don't know if you should just watch the intro or like something. Because I've already watched all the intros.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Okay. And endings too. Obviously. So if I were if I were you what I would do is I would finish start us crusaders and then I would ask somebody who would know hey what scenes should I go back and check out. I remember you telling me about the like oh the pig licks your ass. Yeah. And I was like no none of this is true.
Starting point is 00:38:51 No it's all true. And I got to that part. Menacing. Consider it. Consider it. There doesn't have menacing on the pig does it. Yeah it does. It does.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Okay. Before the head comes out the toilets menacing. I can't wait for that menacing spaghetti man. That's great. You can't wait for it. And really really quickly we have our artist friend star exorcist staying with us on her world wind tour to go to Japan. Did she exercise the stars.
Starting point is 00:39:17 She did not exercise any stars yet but what she did do is when we're walking down the street she goes oh my god so and so is here and almost like who and she's like explains and she goes Vernon Shaw of hot pepper gaming and currently have Game Grumps just happened to be staying in a hotel. Yeah. Two blocks away from us. I saw that you tweeted that and I was like huh must have been a typo. I thought it was too and she's like no we totally know each other and like I talked
Starting point is 00:39:43 to Vernon a little bit when we did our hot pepper gaming stuff he's like he's totally in Montreal and she's just like be boop beep and he just comes out of his hotel and he's like what you guys got what you got and we're like we got samurai cop and he's like I don't know what the fuck that is but I'll watch it. Oh yeah. So we were like the ultimate icebreaker on ruining another person's life. Oh no you enjoyed it. There's always that risk.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Right. Yeah. And you're like oh like yo hey look look at this cool stuff and you're like I don't think this is cool at all actually. It's always strong where the second line of samurai cop is here comes the boss and if you get a laugh out of that third line then that person's DTF on yeah on on on on samurai cop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:28 No I didn't start it. Yeah. It's like it's like when you you go to the you go to the party and you don't know anybody and you shout out dental plan and you know you're my friend. It's in these braces as three people in the back jump up and it's like yeah. Yeah so that was that was that was a fun time and finally thank you to any and all who have sent some scintillating pun pun kill chan fan art and you still have some time. What's the cutoff.
Starting point is 00:40:51 The cutoff would be I guess the ninth and the ninth day of this Thursday. Okay. You have a time. You get 30% off. Whenever we finish recording. No you have to you have to make it you actually have to pick a six PM on Thursday. That's the 12th of May and you should make you should actually go and attend your Reddit posts so that people don't get in one minute after the exact time if any of you follow
Starting point is 00:41:15 us on our subreddit or any of our Twitter is my Twitter my Tumblr if you want to draw pun pun kill chan which is basically a cute angry version of a female punisher please do now's the time midnight bliss punisher midnight bliss punisher you didn't explain what the deadlines for if you want to just say if you want to draw fan art if you want to draw fan art a pun pun kill chan and get her into what our finale episode of our Punisher LP I'll do a fun little montage of there's one Liam not sure if you saw where she's I saw a bunch but you see the one that was on the Reddit where she can't pick up a Gatling gun because it's too heavy all those are my favorite anyway so the 12th at 6 PM 12 at 6 PM that's
Starting point is 00:41:53 Eastern that's Eastern that's the exact date that Frank's Castle Frank's family was gunned down exactly on May 12 I'm hell holding my kids brains in my hands well I'm looking at my clock to make sure that it's the same date this is the time that's the time there you go all right so let's take a quick word and we'll be right back you know Matt they they do say that you know wakey wakey eggs and bakey that's true I had bacon this morning it's weird that we just did so much of the podcast and then you're waking up now you know they do say that no one man should have all this power that they do say that one man says I've said that too much power can be a bad makes the baby go blind but how do you
Starting point is 00:42:43 know how you get how wet it how much how do you know when it's too much power when what's the measure for that right when people start coming at you when your power lasts for more than four hours you should go to a doctor or emergency room immediately use a meat temperature measure to properly gauge your power I think that the only way to know when it's too much power is to acquire power until it's too much because someone comes after and then you back it off just a little bit exactly and what better way than to get a box of power straight to your door powerful I mean it would be nice if it were possible I don't think that's a real thing I think you made that way great oh wait wait that totally makes sense now theme
Starting point is 00:43:23 box power you're telling me there's an infinity gem inside this box I'm saying it's a possibility okay that's a good that's better than nothing that's better than a zero percent which of the gems do you think you would get it I want the time one I want the power no because the time one's the most powerful actually well power is power Adam Warlock himself put the power gem in one loot crate and you might be the one maybe just maybe if you head on down to loot crate comms last super and under the promo code super and save three bucks on your infinity gem you'll be a happy person your crate does not have infinity I would like to make it that of Warlock did not in fact put a power gem into no it'd be really
Starting point is 00:44:06 cool if you but there might be something similar okay okay something similar that's powerful and cool and definitely possibly related to Captain America Civil War that seems highly likely very powerful amongst other powerful items that you get every month in that box and of course you have until the 19th of 9 p.m. Pacific if you want to get in on that power box so you still got some time guys you want to head on down again loot crate comms last super promo code super get the power the power is yours power glove can we get a power I really wanted to say Nintendo power I really want to open the box and we've got the power starts to play right yeah there's a little microchip in the box that I don't
Starting point is 00:44:47 know it's a cassette tape player that's super legit yeah thanks Lou great thank you Liam I played I played video games it's all I did man what I get out of this podcast off last week's amazing mediocre Assassin's Creed Chronicles China yeah that I somehow enjoyed Wow you really flipped around on that because I liked it but I was like okay these need to get better a bit okay and then I played India and yeah okay the time they took between them was definitely worthwhile there's some really noticeable improvements but it's still not just all there it's a better game yeah like a better mediocre game like by the end of China at least you're like okay Xiao Jun is cool and is a character and does a thing
Starting point is 00:45:39 but the main character of India Arbaz has fucking nothing at the end of that game oh really he kind of like builds off of it seems to me like these three stories build off each other and Shao's thing is all about the box right and then in this one the box is there and there's a gem that goes with it oh snap but like he just starts and the box is just continuing from Shao and he's like a football player and he runs it and then he passes it to the Russia guy you know but he doesn't actually do a whole lot in the middle he just kind of like handles them for a second that's fucking lame yeah so it's following one piece of Eden I yeah the gem in the box which is maybe that's the one piece I don't know there's I think
Starting point is 00:46:21 I talked about when I played India a little bit like you know a few months ago but I really hated the line in India early on were like hundreds and hundreds of years later some Indian guards look you know who kicked our ass hundreds of years ago some Chinese lady yeah I was like what what relations yeah exactly that's really bad that's really annoying me right now they did improve a lot like one of the big problems with China was like they give you way too many tutorials and I think up until chapter 5 you're just getting tutorials constantly and it starts you with the most basic bitch shit of like press square to attack and it's like yes I know what square does I hit square a second ago and then like Ezio has to teach you it for three minutes
Starting point is 00:47:05 right so fake Ezio yeah fake Ezio so there's no there's no like flashback tutorials with anyone that none of that shit and they give you know they start off the first level with some of the more interesting mechanics right off the bat like you know getting in the cover moving from cover to cover some walking bullets walking bullets some of the stuff you would learn later in China they just give you at the beginning and they just stack them together good instead of teaching you one part in one level and then one part in the next level they'll just roll it all together and so by the third level you have everything and it goes it's a little bit shorter but that's not a bad thing I guess still there though going trying to remember the basics of
Starting point is 00:47:43 no he's gone completely completely yeah he's dead and you can even skip them skip all tutorials on your first run through if you played the previous because I just pretend that they didn't like horribly fuck up because India's hundreds of years after like Ezio so yeah Ezio's way he couldn't have possibly had an Ezio cosplayer but it's a market step up but like the story's so weak yeah it doesn't justify it so I'm excited for Russia I'm excited for being excited for apparently Russia has a good story it's really strong in the comic do you know if the game is the fall I don't know I know that okay I know it's the same guy but I don't know if it's the same timeline of that assassins like well they're all in the same universe just whether it's before
Starting point is 00:48:30 or after but I mean I don't know if the things that that assassin is doing in the comic are the things that he's doing in this game yeah it's I'm saying like it's either before or after right so I certainly do hope it is the same events because it's really really good yeah okay well does the comic have to do with the box or anything no I don't think so interesting I wonder then and it's not so much about and the funny thing about the fall is that that's where the Desmond character Daniel cross is way more interesting oh he's the best well you think that you'd look at Desmond and be like ah we kind of botched that a little what's the one thing he needs well personality would help right so then you fix that and you're done yeah I mean without spoiling it's like you
Starting point is 00:49:10 start out wanting to see this cool Russian assassin running on the Kremlin's rooftops but by the end you're like I want to go back to the present that's what's really show me the present at the very least Russia is the most visually interesting where it has all the dark reds and everything looks like a propaganda poster and like India is the second most visual industry and I've always felt like China didn't really know but by the end of the game did you get to the the precursor temple or whatever the fuck it's called China in India in India maybe a huge chunk of the game takes place in a series of caves that are really like they're cool looking but you stay in them way too long yeah and in China it's all like gray and red for the most part but like at least you can read
Starting point is 00:49:50 stuff in India I found the colors were like too busy for some of the later things you have to do where it's like oh shit that's a piece of cover I couldn't even like it's barely green yeah but there's tigers in India there's tigers in India and elephants yeah you were we were discussing and you did say though the there's a little control jank never really goes away no it still feels the same it's a little smoother in India but it's still there yeah it's there's no significant difference I know I do know Matt said it was a bit smoother and I know that the the trilogy pack like the set of all three together they did change some stuff in China oh really yeah cuz I noticed when I was playing it there was some very slight differences so maybe Matt is correct and it did get a little
Starting point is 00:50:33 smoother but I'm playing them in a row so I can't it didn't get smoother than what I played anyway I just hope that this like climax doesn't announce that they're going out of business and like a month like I don't think they will these games they're selling you know I guess they must I just like you know after completing a big long project like yeah I just and climax is not considered like an A you know class developer but I like them a lot so I just hope like you know they continue on with something else like Prince Persia not eat anything at this point anything like a new silent hill if maybe make their own shadow memories so I like that's true actually for I always forget that they made shadow memories yeah other than that I played an RPG that came out called Ray
Starting point is 00:51:14 Gigant Gigant can we can we can we confirm is it Gigant or Gigant they say Giganto Gigant but like I'm still gonna say Ray Gigant because it's whatever like I like that name Gigantic doesn't matter I'm not I'm not a jerk about pronunciation like I'm a huge jerk about pronunciation not for like animation Mario lies because when it's localized it all gets fucked up and you're like oh is it hominase or whatever it's hominase you know Yakuza see I mayonnaise I've never even I've never even encountered that thing it's all you guys like people when people say Yakuza that's what I just say Yakuza you know exactly like we'll lead just throughout so I do it interchangeably and I want you to tell me when I do it or
Starting point is 00:51:57 that's fine doesn't I'm not gonna yes we're the best friends I but actually that's you know what you don't want the one that always drove me the absolute fucking craziest by far was when you see people on podcast saying Laura Croft yeah that one that one's like insane yeah because it is written because because that's a different person's name there's that with the other one the one that gets me is roguelike and rouge like what again again it is written no one said no one says no one says that but they write it all the time okay okay people that google rouge like R O U G E L I K E is that the sequel to blush like games yes so when Tomb Raider one came out my brother said Laura Croft brothers of pieces I just watched him
Starting point is 00:52:49 play it and I didn't know any better so I just thought her name to be fair like in early previews of Tomb Raider she was called Laura Cruz okay like so not saying I just I just said what he said and then I was on the cutting edge this is a British thing he knew yeah so I play in this game said dungeon RPG like atrian odyssey it's do you map like atrian odyssey no it automatically atrian odyssey is the only one that really does it okay because I guess they wanted a touchscreen gimmick when they made it I guess that works it's kind of neat actually getting to map your own stuff but and then when you see problems with the map and you're like fuck I fucked everything up now I gotta time to stop playing I gotta work
Starting point is 00:53:30 harder now did you get to the cool pretty stuff yeah you get to the cool pretty stuff right away but that game unfortunately is way too easy it is like dirt easy there's no challenge which is bizarre because that company experience usually makes really either hard or like medium difficult yeah exactly did you did you grind too much and over level no you just crush the game instantly oh like you know if you got if you if you spent enough time in one area to get like a hundred thousand souls or something you it wouldn't even be a contest you know now it's way too easy though it's really neat that episode just came out it's really nice another one of their games just came out the week before called stranger of
Starting point is 00:54:13 sword city oh that's them yeah and I think you should just play stranger of sword city instead it's harder that's weird that you would throw like a game under the bus and recommend a different game by the same people but I happen to yeah I know but isn't that a very bizarre place to be in I like the stuff I saw Ray gigantic Ray gigantic good it is good just there's the cranky crank it no oh no you get what you get what I hear some of the later bosses are tough but like it's been a complete stomp thus far I there hasn't been a single instance where I've had to heal myself like okay well just played that and Leo at the same time on two screens yeah no I'd say play another one of their games
Starting point is 00:54:56 unless you want an easy dungeon RPG in which case this game is good so check it out pretty cool animations are really pretty you want an easy dungeon RPG you should play shearing the wanderer it's very easy no you want an easy dungeon RPG you know we're finally getting Sharon again oh really you should you should play Shin Megami tense a for that thing's a cake what a joke of Sharon's super brutal that a hundred percent for your reaction will eat because you die in Sharon and you drop everything so I could just drop it just give up on the game did you ever play Baroque on the Wii or PS2 I have I have it on the Wii but never actually yeah and I want the one Baroque came out on the Wii I was too Baroque
Starting point is 00:55:42 to buy it hey look it's a cinematic game over no it's not same shit though like you die in that game did you think that when you played it yeah there's a couple there's totally a couple that you're like there's no way I didn't yeah there's I was like the first battle is it woke me up it woke me up it was some vicks under my nose no it starts hard and it gets easier well I remember saying like when me really me and Austin booted up Neo and I was like hey I'm gonna go yeah he has that feeling I'm gonna investigate this red phantom thing who is it I don't know who it is because he just killed me in one shot in the very first encounter yeah okay that's a good screw I played a couple other games like never running
Starting point is 00:56:31 nightmares and stuff but didn't really dump a ton of hours in that every night was good though everything is pretty good kind of I wish you did a bit more than just like hold the shoulder button to run but yeah but it's it's kind of enjoyable the gimmick is really I hear it's only an hour and a half long so we must have come really close to beating it there's there's four endings so and they the patch branch so you may have gotten close I wasn't even like aware of that entire mechanic yeah as far as I've heard there's four and I should go back yeah I'll take your baton with the the Neo talk and say that I went back after last week and get what what you could clean up what I could mean it's mean you know
Starting point is 00:57:16 what though honestly like I one shot at that first boss like no problem I didn't find it that much of a challenge and the stage there's something going on with like our brains and our approach then I probably got good weapons no but like and the thing is I feel like I was handicapping myself because I had played souls earlier that day and now the thing was I when I came out and I said like oh man this combat system is great I love it I was so premature because I didn't even get into it for real yeah yeah because that unlocking stuff that I was talking about yeah it's like I didn't even press the shoulder button to scroll over to the pages for each weapon all I did was enter my name I didn't even see all the tech for every different
Starting point is 00:58:06 weapon type and then the ninjutsu and then the magic that you get stuff yeah and I was like oh my god this keeps going nothing beats the slow realization of slow beef where you can see all these tweets where he's like so this Neo game huh I'll give it a shot I guess whatever and then like an hour later is a man this game sure is clunky and shitty I don't think I'm gonna continue it on and then five I would have told me to continue all right I went to the second area holy shit is it better wait you can do what there's stances I am going to now buy this game this game is better than dark like it was like this total like well dark souls has the same progression of mentality wise and I and I don't think you ever pushed past that first part where people said no shut up do
Starting point is 00:58:55 it loser and you you never pushed past that part and got something that you you personally really valued now a lot of people are definitely like what I saw is like oh the combat's better right a lot of people are like not happy about hearing it's not better it's different to me it's better and okay and I'm having more fun yeah okay and it's and you know limited limited weapon set or not there's just I just feel there's so much more than you can do and I was like and I can see I can feel it when I unlock to those abilities I'm like it's all here I'm not good enough right now but I know it's here I it's splitting the difference between a game and a character action game and and exactly and it's just like this is gonna take homework and digging this is gonna take sorry and dash to get
Starting point is 00:59:39 to the bottom of this and thankfully it didn't but that no no you're still wrong it does it will but that combo video came out there's a combo video there's a combo video and you're like this is where we're seeing the proof of concept motherfuckers are dashing and swaying and going nuts and like recovering just enough stamina to do something really fancy and then the last like I want to say maybe a quarter of the video is juggle combos because the dude found a way to juggle enemies off of an explosion and straight up find ways to keep it going you're done I don't believe you and I put it out on Twitter and it's like this is what the combat looks like when you're going nuts on this game and this is just like two days three days whatever dicking around in a demo in an alpha
Starting point is 01:00:30 right if the final version we get has a launcher in it or at the very least some type of skill or weapon you can get later something like that right and and or like and and just take add that move to the to the move set that already exists you're gonna have so much variety do you like do you think it being like an Asian like you know feudal Japan sort of aesthetic do you like that a bit more like is it I'm fine does it does it well like because when you and I both saw all the souls games came in now we're kind of the same reaction like everyone just kind of has armor yeah and it looks okay but like I like I was even though I didn't play a bunch of them like I played a bit I never played one I played a bit of two I played a bunch of three and I almost beat four like I have
Starting point is 01:01:12 really weirdly oddly fond memories of Onimusha yeah so when I play this I'm like oh I really like feudal Japan horror yeah awesome well that's what I was gonna say is as soon as I saw like the Oni demons coming out and the the the Gants likes like fucking bosses you know and and you're I want to say Okami like monsters but not with the cute version of them but the actual scary realistic version of them I that's when I was like all right yeah I'm in that's that's a that's something that is different enough a lot of there's some it's taking heat for its visuals it's taking heat for some of the themes as well heat for its visuals like how so yeah I did see some people saying like this it visually just looks shittier I think I think I said in Tony if I said to Liam
Starting point is 01:01:55 or I was like the environments are bland is like it doesn't look as good as the trailers look I will just cuz it's early I will say that none of the environments hold a candle to the shit we're seeing in DS3 that's not fair or or that's the least fair comparison ever or even or even some of the other some other areas of DS2 and Bloodborne yeah but I'm sure there will be the second environment the second environment even though it was more closed off it showed some promise of like you can get you can get some interesting locations so yeah there there was a there's more neo time put in and unfortunately I didn't get to that second boss cuz it just wasn't okay so I did you get to the statue enemies the they're literally statues with
Starting point is 01:02:40 swords I got no I got to cuz those guys are really cool I got to the little jumping dudes guys take too long with them then they go brah they hulk up on you and the ninjas they're fun the ninjas are cool when they come down yeah yeah yeah cool there's a really good ambush in that level at one point they fuck you up with their stamina so there's that I talk about Overwatch forever so we already did that I also went to go see Civil War I also saw Civil War I also saw this film yeah spoiler warning light spoilers for a couple action scenes ahead but nothing actually plot related either way it's up to you yeah and then the next day I went and watched it again oh I did not I'm planning on doing that this week probably but upon second viewing
Starting point is 01:03:36 terrible movie there actually wasn't anything extra that I caught that I missed the first time around yeah I was gonna say like it seemed pretty like plain Jane got it all yeah not at all but then you got it again what I did get though was seeing it with the three days later night crowd mm-hmm that didn't react to the same jokes they got no fun no laughs and it was way it's more of a filled it was full it was way more of a bummer with the second crowd than with the first crowd it matters which you think they were all seeing it a second time like maybe maybe but I remember some of the stuff that popped super hard there's a lot of value in seeing things with that first crowd of people that really get it and love it yeah the loudest pop to me was just a bucky and the
Starting point is 01:04:29 gags in the car the gags in the car specifically when cap does something yeah yeah yeah and then they know yeah the funny ass gags in the in the theater I was in yes some of the gags were good but the biggest one was giant man giant man so best I was so happy I didn't know about that yeah and if you watch a Iron Man sorry Iron Man if you watch Ant-Man it's interesting because they like that's the one thing that you're waiting for yeah you know that's the still just totally has that power but they never pull it out so yeah I mean you know we can probably have some sort of discussion about this at a later time like at the very end of the podcast but I don't think there's not much to say other than it's fantastic and and I my enjoyment was almost ruined by how
Starting point is 01:05:17 embarrassed I felt for Snyder yeah this is how personally embarrassed this is a curb stomp from orbit it's really bad the DCU in the near term of like well a month and a half two months between the two movies a month or something it's it's a very unfavorable comparison it's and the moment and it's strong in all the ways that BVS is weak it's because it's the same type of story yeah you're looking at internal conflict and and you know between two characters that feel they're on the right side so you can directly that conflict is relatively similar it's can you be trusted with this power yeah and some people say no some other people say and like the like Cap and Tony have multiple arguments about the the accords in this film and they're real
Starting point is 01:06:10 arguments they're not like Batman and Superman just going you're getting you're getting real like yeah that's a good point I have fun with like bread and whatever and people on Twitter just like oh you're a communist if you're doing so and all that fun and the comic book Civil War is completely different beast really yeah in the movie one like I was surprised at how well like holy shit you're actually giving Tony some like yeah no sure so here's the thing I never agreed with Tony and I didn't agree with him in this movie but then you get to the end of the movie and I still don't agree with Tony but how can you blame though yeah that kind of came out that that was one of those moments how can you blame him when he took this path to get here your mental checklist your mental
Starting point is 01:06:58 checklist goes through all the shots you saw in the trailer and you're like I didn't see this one yet so I know something's gonna go down so towards the end you're like I haven't seen that shot yet how they're gonna get there and then they get there you're like yeah nope all right this is a completely fair disagreement I got nothing to say to you dude yeah do it yeah I was gonna say really good the thing I was saying to I think Liam the other day is like the one thing I'm like most flabbergasted like how is that it avoids the problem that that that happens to a lot of comic movies especially when they're they've already had a couple goes it's like Spider-Man 3 age of Ultron you have so much how do you get around the ensemble cast how do you get around a
Starting point is 01:07:37 somal cast how do you have like a story thread that you can keep together and it's just so hard to do that like I understand it's hard and like the fact that this movie does it there are like double the amount of characters that Avengers 2 had and it handles some better and everyone moment very simple one word joy you put joy in the movie everyone is happy to be there you know you say that Spider-Man 3 was not about joy and neither was age of Ultron but what I mean it but what I mean is you don't have the joylessness of the Snyder verse where it just feels like everything like this is a very flimsy argument okay I felt that the way the cast was represented in Civil War I just mean balancing and writing you mean everyone got their part he means literally
Starting point is 01:08:26 minutes on screen yeah I just know how everything was leveled that like eat like even though like Hawkeye appears in the movie and he's in the trailers and stuff when they show him like he's so late to the game how is he oh you had little bits of great dialogue with him and everyone has I was a man and man who's the biggest bit player in the movie yeah gets basically gets his own like intro scene and then like dominates part of the fight like the latter half of that okay I was kind of going like like how why would I like how did you make it so that you care about these people even though they have such small small parts but like each character that they introduce that's like that's the perfect introduction and not only that but like the the worry is like
Starting point is 01:09:13 everyone's obviously gonna get their moment right everyone's gonna get their time to shine yep but everyone doesn't get their moment in here they get two or three or four yeah everyone gets multiple moments where you're like oh that's yeah you know Hawkeye a character that I don't particularly care for might have been one of my favorite characters in this movie right I think the only person who got it bad was War Machine yeah who got relatively little on the grand scheme I love Don Cheadle yeah he got a cool entrance at that one scene and that but that was kind of it fucking Black Panther does a hunting hawk so Black Panther does a lot great intro there's the one thing that I'll say about this movie that feels a little cynical is you can feel the Black Panther
Starting point is 01:09:57 push from space oh man it's oh they're going in intense Wakanda is picking its fucking legs up and you know it always depends on whose movies next if Black Panthers was two movies away his push should be smaller the fact that it's literally next I think it's next year yeah he's pushing this movie is strong hey you know you know who's the coolest and can run faster than Cap and is better than Bucky and is invincible has a cool sexy accent and he's cool and he can fight Bucky with no suit and he's oh he's so hot so here's Dr. Stranger's movie is next no mention to him that's true yeah but he's well yeah that's yeah you know actually I think because like he literally doesn't even have his powers yeah that's where I was like Black Panthers
Starting point is 01:10:46 already hasn't he hasn't met his origin yet and I believe it's Winter Soldier where they're going down the list of people that Hydra's worried about they say Stephen Strange even though you shouldn't be worried about me the doctor at that point is a really good doctor but they know really good one though he they they know in the future and like I don't think anything else needs to be said about Spider-Man other than good job I was telling you about this I'm not sure if you guys know maybe Willie knows but pound for pound my actual favorite hero is Spider-Man and I kind of downplay it because there hasn't been that much to be excited about him in like a while either in movies games or like you know it's just Spider-Verse and all that's my verse stuff is cool but
Starting point is 01:11:26 that when I was watching this I'm like okay I I watched things like Lenny where I'm like painting my fingers and I'm waiting for my Oscar right I'm painting my fingers and I'm waiting for my Oscar and I'm just looking at your Spider-Man going okay how do I do you have like how is your okay impress me within one second I like him yeah because he's kind of weird looking kid he's not too hot like Andrew Garfield he's not as weird looking as Toby McGuire kind of see this in the face area I think the thing I liked the most about him was he didn't dominate the movie yeah because because Spider-Man if I'm not mistaken right about like the number one grossing superhero not just in terms of film but also merchandise Spider-Man's pretty big and
Starting point is 01:12:11 I'm pretty sure he dominates so hard that he's bigger than the next couple down like totaling so for him Spider-Man Spider-Man Batman Superman yeah in that order so for him to have like not a bit part but like barely not not a bunch more than a less than Black Panther understated role yeah a bit more than Bushwacker yeah but like he wasn't he didn't even like super win by the end he was just kind of in the fight like not even that he was just like I'm done I guess yeah he was really good for his part though like he fit perfectly and I really like to go to my own movie yeah bye bye so the thing about Black Panther and how perfect and unflod he is and how he's just the oh my god is basically that's the thing about Black Panther he's Black Batman and he he's never
Starting point is 01:12:59 wrong and never defeated ever and doesn't pray of nothing but that's his deal and the only thing he's from space Africa the only thing close resembling a weakness ever is the fact that he thinks a little bit too highly of himself and he's kind of like maybe a little cocky a little bit a hubris yeah but that's it but you have good reason to be because you're fucking Black Panther and he's wearing vibranium plot armor at all times so like he is basically what you describe it was like is your armor vibranium because that's not fair because your country produces that so that sucks that's too much it made me rich and the best this is good armor T'Challa made this in a cave out of scraps can't wait to see him make out with Storm is that no that's not in a movie not
Starting point is 01:13:56 in a movie wait for the inhumans to introduce some other kind of push black black panther end 2019 or something I saw I saw some comments that this this may be the Marvel movie that set up the most future Marvel movies ever because it sets up it sets up spider-man obviously it's a black panther obviously but now there's a reason for trouble in Wakanda as a result of this that's up infinity war sets up the infinity war part one no problem and now that the Avengers are criminals and if Suicide Squad does well it sets up the Thunderbolts potentially it could it wouldn't be this alternatively it sets up the Thunderbolts to be the the B team that gets their shit annihilated in infinity war I feel like I feel like Marvel would go elsewhere before
Starting point is 01:14:51 they go to that okay I mean it's possible it's a possibility to be really cool actually because like yeah those characters I would love well I would love to see a B team in infinity war that exists to be murdered you know what they could new warriors then they could set up they could set up gonna be there so sharing the universe they could set up Harry Osborne taking up the remnants of shield and starting that up well because that's the thing if you're gonna go if you're gonna go down a route like yeah you still have the Osborne's in yeah well I just want to also say I also played hang on I wanted to talk he had more sorry I'm sorry stolen from him yeah on on X-Men like I think the X-Men are my favorite collective like superhero bunch but like I was talking to a
Starting point is 01:15:41 friend and I think at this point in the MCU like I would rather the X-Men just not be introduced into it because the moment you introduce the X-Men you're not introducing Wolverine you're introducing 10 characters I got good news for you Liam no I know no I know and I love the X-Men and I don't like Fox's movies as much yeah but like I think at this point the MCU has like 30 characters now a larger issue is the Spider-Man problem it's that if you introduce the X-Men at this point it becomes why haven't mutants ever been mentioned in the history of this fucking universe ever well but also like how many X-Men movies you have to make to cover the characters they just announced another one today yeah they said the next one will take place in the 90s great
Starting point is 01:16:22 because the Fox that's when I like to best don't know that's actually what I like it's gonna take it's gonna take a lot more than what Sony did with Spider-Man for Fox to come because like that's what I also mean is like I think it's yeah like the MCU is in such a good place I think the X-Men would like actually muddy it I mean there's so many they pulled out of the tailspin the nose last two movies plus Deadpool and and Marvel has actively started you know getting rid of mutants right so like I mean gifted people wasn't one of their last two movies fantastic for though yeah yeah okay but I mean Deadpool and the future past and first class yeah yeah first class is great yeah you know we're not shitbag movies there were good movies and if if they got if those were
Starting point is 01:17:13 all tanks right across the board then they would be having a different conversation yeah for sure they didn't make their money back they did I fantastic for my show up the way that fucking trainwrecks gone yeah well Punisher you know got back into the right hands too so um they should get fantastic for just to kill them all in the movie and I get doom in there yeah just to get I actually want doom I think you're but Liam I think you're completely fucking right all you want is doom and super Skrull and just you have you have a fantastic for movie that's half an hour and doom just wins and I bet you were getting Skrulls in Guardians 2 yeah for sure I bet you were getting Skrulls we got Cree right there either Guardians or Infinity War they also mentioned
Starting point is 01:17:58 today that like I believe Infinity War will have Captain Marvel in it to set up her yeah cuz she's getting a movie yeah I hope it's the good one I hope it's the good one too yeah I played speedrunners I finally sat down and I have seen that game what's what's that about it's really good everyone looks like the Escher and Skrull okay it's like bingo take the fun stuff about rascals mm-hmm and make it so that the way you die slash and is not by crossing the finish line it's by having your opponent fall out of the screen because you're too fast you're too fast it's what every Sonic vs. game should have right it's what even even Mario games to some degree could have been as well because you're just doing this you're on a course and you're like you know controlling
Starting point is 01:18:51 it like meat boy or and you're on a racetrack it loops around like it's not yeah it's not just a straight level yeah yeah well it's on a looping course yes and you have the you you're picking up some items and you're and you're jumping off walls and you're using a grappling hook and a couple other basic abilities like sliding and double jumping but you just are trying to make it to the front of the screen and control the camera push and as and if you're doing it successfully and everything is you're just going coming up millhouse you're the other people you're racing are like fucking up and hitting walls and slowing down until they get squashed out of the screen and then that's when the race stops you get a point and then you and you start again okay and
Starting point is 01:19:31 just doing that like two players like local is a ton of fun because it gets so close at times and when the race goes on too long and there's no like headway being given left or right the borders of the screen tart to start to shrink in but you're occupying the same amount of space on the screen so basically whoever is lagging has less space to catch up in and it gets like bomber man sort of like time is almost up super fun highly recommended it's the default Dan a video game we've seen it everywhere I've seen it a million yeah but no after after touching it it's so fun and like yeah I gotta play that with four or more players and enjoy and see what that's like for sure and I also sat down to try to erase the sun which is a kind of minimalist artsy sort of game
Starting point is 01:20:19 you drive into an infinite distance the stages are kind of generated and on procedurally they're procedurally generated and come at one after the other and the whole game is if you're exposed to the Sun your vehicle has energy and you can move and you have to stay in the sunlight to keep going and approach your destination before the Sun goes down and okay and if the Sun goes down you're out of energy your solar powered vehicle can no longer move in your debt so it's a cool you know like you're racing against the Sun and you can get certain power-ups to put the Sun higher back up into the sky that's cool can you put clouds in front of the sun no but like and then there's other things where it's like you have a jump but you it's not a jump it's like a power-up you get
Starting point is 01:21:02 that lets you jump once and avoid all these obstacles super huge cheat because like the main thing is you're dodging obstacles yes forward exactly and it's and there's a bunch of bullshit it's really bullshit it gets really hard and I feel like it's a little unfinished in some ways a lot of the it's just it's just so small there's just not much there there's a lot there's a lot enjoyable yeah there's a lot missing and I feel like it definitely yeah there's not much there but what is there for that sort of quick replay feeling is it's pretty fun it's an original idea and worth taking a peek if the trailer catches your attention I'd say so that's me oh did we do that leaves you Pat oh well I played overwatch did you watch Civil War and I watched
Starting point is 01:21:46 Civil War so what's what's and I grinded for birds and FF 14 and I played PvP and Dark Souls bird squad bird squad red hashtag hashtag has dark souls oh it's great it's really good yeah I had to stop playing my PC character except for PvP because like I'm playing these massive bursts that are like threatening to catch up I can't do it like it's bad like it doesn't take long to repeat your progress no it really fucking it goes really fast yeah once you know how to fight bosses like they just fly yeah melt melts in fact yeah PvP so much fun that fucking game it's so much fun that chair looks suspicious let's just walk by it yeah triple parry yeah good stuff all right what sorry the animated give of yo you didn't see it in Dark Souls where it's like this chair
Starting point is 01:22:40 that's just laying there uh-huh most suspicious chair in the world okay and two guys just run past it and the chair morphs into like a man oh well the other camouflage well the chair the chair moves a little bit first yeah and then it pops up and just comes up behind them and it slaps them both as they're standing in front of an elevator so the hole is there so they go flying so you guys have been watching the weird PvP things too people just people just post gifts in a web apps you know I was really I was talking to Liam before this I'm really glad that I find like we finally gotten far enough in the game the LP that I can finally start to watch those stupid PvP videos just getting abjectly spoiled yeah it's like my 90% of them take place in a zone that
Starting point is 01:23:18 I've already seen so like hey do you know if those like like emote stones are in this game they're totally very good sick those are the best yeah hello they're totally in the game because people throw them at me they're great I don't know how the fuck get them but I know that dress up as an enemy stand in his place hello very good I love their voice it's so dumb sounding it's fun all right and with that let's get into some news let's start out with the fact that overwatch porn well you don't have to worry about those because we got a whole new flock of waifus on the way okay let's let's break it down a flock now persona five a murder of waifus is what you call them an ambush of waifus persona five will launch in Japan on
Starting point is 01:24:06 September 15th the same month as Final Fantasy two weeks earlier so we got the persona event that came boy I'm glad I didn't watch that stream this time yep all you needed was the meat that you got when you woke up and wasn't it good to wake up and just see it yeah there you go there you go you hit my couch how's that trailer it's best one thing I'll say is that that is bar none the best results screen in my god it's the best result pending what happens after it we got to see what happens right if everything is just he runs around in a circle and then it cuts and then it cuts back and then it's like yeah but if he runs right back to the back in the game play oh my god so like the promise of that result screen
Starting point is 01:24:50 is the hype I can't get all it's a wash that trailer and you can see the good that putting money and time and talent into your interface yeah well even besides that like looking at the trailer it's it's unlike any other game atlas has ever made it's abjectly a triple a game yeah yes atlas has never made a game that even remotely approaches this level in anyway even Catherine and it's coming out on multiple skews got a ps3 and ps4 skew too yeah um the they this is easily their biggest game and I hope it can actually sell like their biggest game and finally surpassed our demon souls I feel like I feel like a game they didn't make and I feel like that's a cinch like at this point this time totally so like
Starting point is 01:25:37 final who like cheese so personal final fantasy 15 no shut up well dude personas presentation has always been leading the pack by a lot like a fucking country not always push okay sorry three and four yeah lead the pack in the industry as the best yeah three was like this is really good RPGs absolutely three was this is really good four was like this is smashing through the glass and just go yeah p5's trailer every shot of the UI and HUD you are now lapping around the video game industry and passing them again yeah I can't think of anything that's even close to this level of interfaces yeah for RPGs totally to call it the best is an understatement yeah like the only other game that I think even comes close is like Dead Space to hatred
Starting point is 01:26:27 where it's UI is like also next level yeah that's that's based in a different way in a completely it's all on eyes on the guns and it's like in a totally different I look at nothing else like look at this and I think of like what how much like more pop the yakuza series could have yeah yeah if they use some of these tricks because they they're in a lot of similar environments but when you're walking by and you have these thought bubbles and every every talk prompt is this jagged stylish ass fucking talk so much and the menus all have these godlike silhouette animation like far you're slipping and sliding all over man man so that cast the characters looks oh it's good right yeah it looks really good
Starting point is 01:27:11 I'm I like all of them and the best one is the only one to yet to be revealed he's hidden in the trailer it's the fox guy with the purple guy right yeah yeah he was he was shown previously yeah but he's never been like it quote-unquote introduced with yeah voice yeah he's barely in this trailer where he's got a kuna mitsu mask I had to stop it to find a scene with him yeah he's in the fight scenes in the back yeah exactly just not fighting we've got nerdy girl we've got pugilist chan we've got blonde guy oh come on biker chan come on biker chan not pugilist biker chan come on biker chan hacker chan biker chan bishojo chan I guess I use the beautiful whatever you'd yeah um fucking and then like super I know I know
Starting point is 01:27:56 I I'm blown away look amazing trailer amazing trailer everything looks right and we still know so little yeah that's great they're their thieves I love in stuff I love knowing next to nothing but they have totally changed Igor's voice actor yeah it's this deep voice yeah it's very different he's dead right yeah he's very dead I'm so excited to see the dungeons a little bit like that's the thing that excites me the most is actually design dungeons and not shit dungeons well even if even if they are like somewhat randomly generated it there's a there's a point where they look way more interesting how do I put this always like yeah let me put their ways look at look at enter the gungeon right that's randomly generated but all of the pieces
Starting point is 01:28:39 are still yeah no you can do it right in counter rooms for sure whereas in p4 p3 boxes they were box boxes and hallways yeah yeah I really hope that the English version of Igor gets the same treatment now it'll be some guy I don't know who knows I really hope we get to see the English version of Igor this year well they said it would come out in 2016 here did they wasn't that enough I'm I don't think it's I don't think it's without the right outside the room with possibility to see this in November or December yeah possibly because SMT-4 while a smaller game admittedly did come out two months after its Japanese release and this got delayed by like a full year assumingly due to the ps4 skew and so hopefully that gave them extra time to get the
Starting point is 01:29:32 translation the English fan base is also rabid enough that I don't think they'd accept the next year wait well it's like I mean if it happens it happens yeah but everyone except it everyone's importing and starting that shit out like it's not no way what a waste of time are you would you why not just throw the whole plot in the garbage because I don't understand any of it if it was a year later what you're gonna do you're gonna sit there with your translation guy like it was a fighting game sure buddy it's a fucking RPG yeah massive amounts of dialogue the shmup godpat does it he's done it you're not him speaks Japanese kind of not really I mean not as not what we both kind of kind of I don't know I don't know but the point is it would be a long way to do that
Starting point is 01:30:15 you're a long ass weight yeah it would suck that's the real end to your statement is that it would be poop it would be poopy welcome to Europe but check your atlas okay okay so at least this time we have a for real z region free console yeah that the Europeans they can just get the disc or skip that fucking download it on PSN or whatever whatever yeah like and yeah no like for an official European release it's looking extra dire considering like Sega and Atlas and and and what's the fucking company nippon itch nippon itch I like kind of like getting weird well all it is yeah nippon itch he's not distributing atlas products in Europe anymore mm-hmm but Sega's European branch is really good so far as I as far as I can see it would be bafflingly stupid if they didn't pick
Starting point is 01:31:05 that up yeah no I think it's gonna get better before it gets a lot worse it can't get worse really so yeah I can't get much worse no a lot of people that get killed say that nope well things can't get worse barrel to their head they're like yeah this is looking up okay so speaking of non-English things the next Nintendo Direct is Japan only boo and that's because it's focusing on a game I never heard of yeah I'm still upset about the last one well what the last called sept game oh where they were like yeah we're gonna release this in English and then it literally they literally never talked about it ever again and just like brushed it under the rug so this is gonna be about called sept revolt yeah you know what's you know what's under
Starting point is 01:31:48 the rug some called the sept games yeah called sept six I'm called the sex it's like a card board game really cool though I mean you know would you think it would be a good idea for that to make a Nintendo Direct in English for that announcing that you're not going to get this game not coming out here yeah so yes I actually I I personally really appreciate the first time there's been Japan only direct no no stuff so oh okay sorry I'd be super stoked about that then putting out directs to tell you what games you're not getting also like anything like let's be real they did a direct for wonderful 101 a less popular game than called sept yeah a less popular game than not in our many games yeah not in our hearts but yeah I guess so because I was about to say
Starting point is 01:32:33 they wouldn't do a one only for something not that huge but fuck they're pretty good at pushing all their games like they're big stuff anything made by another company they just thrown in the well here's what they are pushing we've got their only e3 presence Nintendo's day of Zelda so we talked about this in our LP this is a fantastic idea that's amazing if you get ground and earth and shovel it in and you make Hyrule and you have like rideable horses and fountains and money you can find and it has to be a wonder world mm-hmm if it's not that that's not sure it's for watching the stream you sure it's for watching the stream from I can only assume and I think that you know that they won't I think it's reasonable to look at it and go like okay the annex is not ready
Starting point is 01:33:30 they're not ready to talk about it or any next title so we're not gonna be seeing that yeah that's fine they already said that's gonna be later this year so they don't really have anything they're looking to push as hard as Zelda yeah but still it's I don't know I think it's kind of fucked they have a bunch of games that are coming out there's a bunch of third-party titles on Nintendo platforms that they could be helping to push like you know why would Nintendo help push a third party game but that's why it's fucked like all shovel night there's games that they do yeah but but that's why it's fucked right yeah like we both get just gave Liam his perfect examples they're looking at it like a go big or go home type of thing but that's why it's fucked they have other
Starting point is 01:34:11 games hey if they like if they want to vote 90% of your space to Zelda hey like you have there's other games as somebody who's not all that interested in the Wii U anymore it when I hear go big or go home you know what I think of boy I bet the people being interviewed at E3 are gonna really enjoy answering we're not talking about that right now to every question about Zelda on the NX or the NX or anything like it just feels to me like if I walked by that booth at E3 I'd swing in once and play it and then I have yeah there's nothing left for me hey this it's you either should have an NX blowout or don't even show up everything up to NX Matt the first thing you said you say that I can't honestly think of a single one Paper Mario I hate Paper Mario but
Starting point is 01:35:03 it's there it's there SM SMT final shark final I should say to be fair that's coming on shark for apocalypse yeah Phoenix right six although oh no that would only be on Capcom's rhythm heaven Megamix which is a Nintendo game they don't know don't push that Monster Hunter generations don't push that Capcom still still though like push your product and no Liam so the first thing we will not man I really just find it probably everyone in my opinion the most accurate which is that like the only way that well basically like the only way for them to get out of this and like not really take a ton of heat is if it's a Zelda blowout don't deliver a little bit of interest up as great fairies it can't be a Zelda blowout because you know what my number one question is
Starting point is 01:35:52 about the new Zelda how does it play it on the NX does will it run better that's what control changes are you gonna make to it to account for no game pad on the NX oh you can't oh I don't care shut up like like they're talking about a version of the game that I'm not gonna play real talk I'm super excited to see it I love Zelda I'm very excited to see hopefully like two solid hours of good yeah totally but like the the notion that I'm coming in and there's not gonna be any announcements of new stuff is just kind of a bummer like it's like do you really have nothing to talk about even go to E3 and not just have even if you even if you have nothing it's like they don't want to admit it but you clearly do have things and if you do why aren't you yeah
Starting point is 01:36:39 this all all of the stuff just could you could you imagine multiple companies did this in the same year and Sony said we're only gonna have horizon at our booth no last Guardian no VR and Microsoft said we're only gonna have Sea of Thieves this year is like and that's it here is the reverse where it's like a lot of companies are like we're not showing anything we're not we don't have any booth like it's Bethesda and like two other big people and that's what you do you don't got anything you don't feel like showing doing their own show yeah they're aren't they are Nintendo does their own you be soft school Nintendo direct yeah it's if this was the first time it'd be a bit more of a shock but the fact that they didn't even show up before like it was
Starting point is 01:37:19 kind of it bothers me to a very high degree that we're going into an E3 before the last E3 possible before the annexes launch and we know nothing I don't know I'm more bothered that they just continue to perpetuate like stupidity well that's you better no that's Nintendo I want them to I got I got over that like in the Gamecube era when I was like why can't you why the why why you like this why can't you just do anything for anyone no okay like I love Nintendo I want them to do better and like that's why you should shovel in earth get founds like it won't build high rule build high rule you know and they won't you know it's gonna it's gonna be Jeff Gershman in a tingle outfit and then you get a Konami press conference going that would be a fucking part
Starting point is 01:38:15 of the Nintendo and X announcement that fucking part where they fucking lie to your face and say all the third parties are on board we've never had a better relationship with third parties and then they show a trailer that has 19 Nintendo games in and one Capcom game and one Ubisoft game and everyone just like fucking god damn it like oh my my frustration is delayed on that but it's it's a gave up I gave up on that it's fine we're getting Mario content and Minecraft we use so it's gonna be fine show that show that on the no no don't show it it'll compete with a Nintendo game like that's why it's baffling though right like it's fucked man sorry no it's fine so we've got this one's interesting to me epic games is talking about how they're speaking of giving up
Starting point is 01:39:10 epic games are kind of over single-player games oh we're over and we're done seems like they want to focus on multiplayer yeah a lot of people are really liking Paragon and like it looks pretty good too so can't blame them I mean that's just their moba moba thing if they look at the landscape and decide hey like this is what we're doing from now on everyone in the future see well give the heads up what they were saying was justified where it was just like we were looking at the successive budgets of the gears games and we were like yeah no that's why we sold that shit that can't keep going up for us like that because at some point we just don't make money you know so to refine though it's it's not just we're giving up on single-player it's more like all free to
Starting point is 01:39:56 play online from here on out yeah okay so you know what I hear when I read that statement everyone who worked here that would have made any other different kind of game is gone now it's often the case yeah often the case yeah obviously worth noting too like there's their engine is still probably one of the biggest parts of their finance as well I would imagine it's the biggest part of their finances possibly yeah now anyway we'll see maybe not we'll see how good moba does for them we'll see we'll see we've also gotten used that dishonor to is coming out November 11th and that's a different that's a different character yeah no she uses the whip thing choosing the trailer that came up before yeah she's a little girl from the first game okay I didn't play the first game
Starting point is 01:40:40 there's a tiny little girl you rescue because she's like the future countess or whatever the fuck did you did you see the announced trailer for this at E3 last year it was really cool didn't yes he did because I was sitting next to him oh then I just didn't cross it it was it was a lady with the whip thing and a sword fighting robot clockwork man it's cool yep okay well that's fine robot fighting clockwork yeah I really hope they take out the ability to see through walls in this game yeah I to be honest I'm just not that interested did you play dishonor one I did and I ended up just feeling a bit cool on it dishonored one has the problem where they give you the ability to see through walls and see people's vision cones and it takes some of your resources to use but
Starting point is 01:41:28 your resources were Jen it's very similar to the Deus Ex power up that does the same thing the problem is that it's so powerful that you it's it's got the detective mode problem where you never want to have it off you rely on it the entire game so you walk you're watching the entire game through this fucking shitty filter that yeah it's I would you turn it off you're like well you're like oh oh I don't know where anyone is anymore oh you feel like you lose your spatial yeah I know it's literally turning off it's really one of your senses it's too strong of ability to have a game to sign around I don't like it the and yeah I guess I know I should get good I know other announcements are battlefield one dude yeah I want to point out that this is one of my favorite game
Starting point is 01:42:19 titles ever the great title it is such an amazing title that's it's it's smart it's smart there wasn't just a battlefield at the beginning it was 1942 never there was never a game called battlefield was the year it'll still be confusing when future it went it went 19 far from now what not now 1942 then to yeah 2142 so on and then Vietnam and then the bad companies somewhere somewhere in the future someone's gonna play like Bionic Commando 2009 and then play like to or Ninja Gaiden and then go back to Ninja Gaiden to on the next and go what what happened did there did their society collapse between see the dates on no no it's that far in the future it looks really cool I looks really I was really excited for the announcement thing
Starting point is 01:43:17 because I was really hoping it would be World War one and Wizards but then but then the announcement thing was the worst stream I've ever seen oh was it dude it was like it leaked before too it leaked before and that was why I was excited because I saw the key art and I was like oh he looks fucking sick yeah you adjust that yeah tell me how cool he looks so cool and like the trailer was really really good but good use of the like I'm not just not gonna play it but really really cool so it's really good it's really interesting to me as somebody who plays battlefield and Call of Duty on and off like I feel like every two years I buy one and Call of Duty decided go fuck it in just sci-fi like future future space and Battlefield just sponsor that is to go now
Starting point is 01:44:02 fuck it yeah let's go to that one old cool time period that everyone says you could never make a good game out of because the guns are shitty and let's go there because World War one has a lot of really cool art and design cavalry and and trenches and the weird part about World War one is that like well you're almost right there to a to a degree willie it's like World War one still had cavalry armies yeah like like at first there there there is one of the first movies ever and it's tanks versus dudes on horses yeah and it's a it's fucking weird and dudes on horses just crushed it no yeah they total stomp stomped all over those ever seen a tank high tail it and you know it's like yeah your horses you're going back to the past all that but it's a genuine like
Starting point is 01:44:53 World War one is a genuinely new setting and I feel like most people aren't aware of how different it is in a setting sense from World War two and like you know poison gas alone there's a big gap it was 30 years like huge the trailer like a hundred years of technology and the trailer assumes that you probably don't and goes above and beyond yeah setting up like here's all you here's all a bunch of weird World War one stuff different you aren't aware of yeah there'll be one or two levels that are in the trenches and then I seriously doubt like the rest of the game will have anything the trenches and the battle in the trenches will probably be the psalm because it's the worst battle ever it's the worst battle that ever was except for the one with the wizards
Starting point is 01:45:32 I wish that was enough so it was like two million dead at the psalm just just the worst wizards in the world it's the psalm is what cause it was what was part of the inspiration behind the Lord of the Rings we got like sci-fi so I won't fantasy now and there so maybe even like a vampire or two sure I could why not I so you know what I want I want battlefield versus call of duty and I want it to be wizards versus robots or zombies not no no but wizards versus robots first and then we can get with the weird stuff bugs and the bugs not even zombies just undead nazis really always with the zombies there's a lot of undead nazi games and moves so yeah well that's the end that's no that's why very interested oh oh there is a gameplay
Starting point is 01:46:19 detail they announced that is actually really important and that is that a multiplayer your vehicle is decided by your class which is great so snipers will no longer be able to steal tanks to drive up onto mountains and just leave it there because they finally decided that they had to stop that there's people who are super mad over you know what fuck those people fuck you if you're mad fuck you you're the problem I don't want to team game and you're taking the vehicles and you're ruining I don't want to have to pick the guy who prepares the tank to drive a tank guess what you're why I lost the game yeah you you're the problem I want to play I bought the game I'm gonna play it however I want snipers can get the
Starting point is 01:47:01 fucking buggies and the motorcycles so they can get to their fucking or a horse or a horse yeah it's probably be a totally a horse wouldn't it yeah man so speaking of fighting the occult and so on we've gotten overwatch porn confirmation are you just watching it right now yes I'm really good at multitasking I've got we've gotten confirmation that the bloodstained extra content will come like shovel nights and not like no unlike will come like shovel nights and not like mighty number nine yeah so fine that seems like the correct decision totally fine so yeah they're only gonna start that after shipping out yeah honestly the way she'll nights doing it is great because like every year there's a shovel like yeah there's
Starting point is 01:47:51 still got a lot to do yeah there's still specter nights gameplay I was talking about it with some people a little while ago and yeah the notion that bloodstained could ship in 2017 with all the features that they had to add you after publicly announcing joke that they ran out of stretch goals and they needed to come up with more get out of here like get out that that that's that's that's what happens a lot of people don't know that if you're if the if the game that you kickstarted balloons too much if it blows up to a degree that even the the creators didn't expect the release date on that kickstarter page yeah becomes wrong well like yeah like mighty number nine if it had just barely eked past its number
Starting point is 01:48:28 we'd probably have the game already and it'd just be missing a ton of features and stuff like you know all those RPGs that got hit people yeah yeah people start to scream hey it says 2016 on the thing it's like we added twice the amount of game because you can't change the I want all my groceries to be in one bag it's not it's not like it's not like say that dark souls board game where it's like well okay that that yeah they'll add a couple months to it to make a bit more of a print right but it's not that big of a deal yeah so yeah if the genre supports it man just put it out bare bones and then support it for as long as you need to that that seemed like it may have would have been a better idea for mighty
Starting point is 01:49:05 number nine who have done that in so fucking yeah I'm so fucking beyond excited for bloodstained it's gonna be the best game when's it actually supposed to come out 2017 2017 yeah that's fun that seems normal and speaking of like long time support we've got a remaster of the silver case suda 51 what a random cool thing that happened as 1999 adventure game yeah yeah I'm excited is that the one you hated no which one did you hate flower sudden okay that was you hated earth wind and fire yeah you hate earth wind and fire yeah I love them but their stand is so cool I never played this before so come on I wouldn't mind giving it a shot it's like they'll build yeah one of the last couple of suda games if you hate the roll bounce soundtrack
Starting point is 01:49:57 I hate you I'm really keen as well for it because the game needed remaking because a lot of the game takes place on like computer monitors and stuff and it's formatted to Japanese text formatting standards and such so translation patches don't give you the proper experience like that's why they're rebuilding it from the ground up because it's one of the reasons so it's gonna actually be properly I really appreciate that I think we need to get down to brass tax though and inquire when we're getting that wrestling game that suda penned which results in your wrestler began though they translated it yeah it was fans fan translations and stuff oh well no I want the official official suicide fucking rest well you're ready to goddamn import persona five and now a fan
Starting point is 01:50:49 translation isn't enough for you I want it I want the onboard acknowledgement that this wrestler man had a fucked up story yeah but in that game you have to play like literally hundreds of hours to get to the end of it's like it's like you have to do like a calendar year for you to get that story bit regardless I think I'm pretty sure super fucked I did a lot of this research during WrestleMania and yeah that was not a viable game to play well we but we want to eyes bulge out of your head that one fire as you see the how long to beat ticker say 999 hours I don't think it was I want the goichi suda origins collection yeah you get to see all the things that shaped him I would actually really love like a definitive directors version of like killer seven of Capcom
Starting point is 01:51:31 would like I don't know what the deal is but but like with like better hands so maybe something to cut down on backtracking like you know HD remaster and just little improvements to kind of stream I would rather they do like moonlight and Twilight syndrome that we never got and like that's like that's the beginnings of the plot that strings across all these games like yeah okay yeah that'd be cool too because we're kind of missing that step you know we've got killer seven and I always forget killer is dead and stuff but we didn't get the actual beginning of that story yeah are we gonna talk about the black Goku and future Trunks being in DVZ now well I wasn't going to because further research indicated that the that black Goku just really meant dark Goku yeah shut up
Starting point is 01:52:18 he's not black it's not at all homaging black go he's not black he's evil it's like black Spider-Man but is he black yes no black Spider-Man confirmed black Spider-Man Goku's evil but is black Goku Spider-Man he's black Spider-Man but he's not black but he's black he's just evil could black Goku be black Superman can get candy beat steel so so this is a weird what about black black panther so this is a weird moment for me I saw somebody talking about DBZ super DBZ and I was like maybe I should start watching again because that seems hilarious because he was describing a bit in which Piccolo and Vegeta tell Goku that their mind controlled and kick his ass only to reveal that no we weren't mind controlled at all
Starting point is 01:53:15 we just we just wanted to fight you wanted to beat the shit out yeah right so I was like okay that's really great and then like the next day I saw this shit and was like nope back I'm no no that's dumb really mad that you you've revealed that to me future future trunks future trunks is always and will forever be cool you almost tricked me idiot yeah yeah it's not like I wanted to fight you Baka next time on Dragon Ball Z next time on the black Goku we've got the the fact that Street Fighter 5 sold 1.8 million and that was like five and that is just shy of their estimates for the first three months where they thought they thought they'd hit two by end of March yeah it's a lot this is a way higher number than I think a lot of people expected it's great
Starting point is 01:54:21 but it is underperforming from what they what they did yeah but that's Capcom man and it's also adjusted for the fact that like the Street Fighter 4 they they went like blue pass 3 yeah and then super was when it did cut in half yeah you know so they're going with the adjusted I just mean the launch numbers were so poor that a lot of people in a lot of the sales corners of the internet were expecting doom and gloom it was maybe around but that was like two months ago yeah so that's where it made up no but that's why it's impressive as well because the tails continue yeah no it's it's it's had it didn't have a big boom like you would expect this is still really good tail is very promising yeah and it proves that like the the you know the the casual
Starting point is 01:55:07 fan base arcade mode stuff like that that was bad and that hurt them sales wise but the word of mouth and could the new character roll out and stuff like that it's it's it's working it's a different market to and also they're gonna make like for Capcom's well-being in the future Street Fighter like they're gonna make some bank off these characters once they start actually charging for the exact thing so like they're the whatever like the revenue stream in this game is very different like cuz the word the worry for us and people who care is like if the sales were bad enough you'd worry about season 2 right you worry about if season 2 would happen of you know it's a new set of characters or support there is no worry these are good no this is I always thought they should
Starting point is 01:55:48 have waited two more years Steven launched this yeah because why Street Fighter 4 probably sold pretty well it's because you hadn't got one for like 10 you know what actually really annoys me is when people look at one guy I was coming out and this is God he's gonna come out on like the 29th again why even say it's in March or April it's like but he but now he's exactly a month from when Alex came out yeah guys come on come on against all odds they actually did it waiting waiting waiting a couple years would have been the normal form for a Street Fighter proper entry because that's how it's always been but you have to look at it in a like a modern-day context where Street Fighter has had a new thing every year and it kind of sales as it went down I think but there
Starting point is 01:56:34 weren't but there were sales well I think sorry I think even more so is if there wasn't a Street Fighter 5 now Capcom wouldn't have a fighting game I mean they could they could it just could have not been Street Fighter but like they but yeah they would have had a lesser yeah I mean Marvel when it's way it would it would have been open season if they had not done Marvel then and done Marvel now when Marvel yeah it's in that universe is super hot it's not it's not but it's not a replacement for people no no for sure yeah it's different audience now's the time for Capcom all stars versus Capcom all stars God it's always what I want I want Capcom versus Kellogg's like that's the all time Capcom versus from software let's get there no Kellogg's why Kellogg's because
Starting point is 01:57:22 look at their lineup it's a pretty good lineup I think it came at the right time I mean sooner than I thought but but the idea that you know people were used to ultra and people who had not people who had gotten their fill of four were done with it can I get can I get like a slow versus game I'd like that okay but cross that Capcom fighting all stars yeah like that like I really wanted slow but you know but I wanted like it was pretty I wanted Capcom fighting Evo to be good and slow that's what I want call it slow fighter so far I'll play slow fighter that's why I think I still prefer like when you're saying a Nio's gameplay is better than Dark Souls and I'm like and I like in my heart I disagree with you but I can't quite explain why I think it's because I prefer Dark
Starting point is 01:58:09 Souls's speed I know what you mean I really like that moment in the Escaflota intro where you see the guy on the left swinging their clunky swords around yeah yeah yeah it's the slowest it feels heavy best we do have the other fighting news is as a kickstart around a Kickstarter Indiegogo project called Rotten Core it's a weird-ass new fighting game and it's not well for starters it's not even new it's based on some Mugen creations that existed for a while whoa okay that's weird the characters you can actually go play as them they're all evil and weird and not their rod is only or perhaps like your Ken and Ryu are old man one and creepy old man two their their designs are so not passable as a sellable game it's they can't you can't market that yeah it's not
Starting point is 01:58:59 a fun bunch of villains it's a bunch of old guys like and creepy lady and creepy lady I need to see these old guys so this is the trailer for it it there looks like some really cool combat systems that they've put in place I really like the class system it actually leads up to like a bit of an anime kind of fight exchange and then they were like character specific cross-counter yeah exactly and they look really cool thing with it is though when you look at it like the sprites are original but a lot of the hit-sparks sounds and in fact the entire bits you can see total bits of basic Mugen and basic King of Fighters effects as well that are just taken from probably just Mugen footage they're showing anyway right well they're showing me good footage for sure oh yeah a hundred
Starting point is 01:59:46 percent you have it right so I was already like I'm watching this and then before I read anything I was like ah come on and then you read the breakdown it's like okay they're working with a leg bite which is like that's cool although kind of fuck you a leg bite for what you did but still it's nice that they're involved and they're working to pull it onto a different engine and make it their own thing so you're not just asking for 87k for a Mugen game that's your goddamn were you just old man they're not marketable at all let your wrist like man and slightly more lecherous old man slightly I don't think the game looks bad but I've I'm no interest in it yeah so I just kind of there's his lechery yeah so I look at it and I'm just you know hoping that what your aim
Starting point is 02:00:41 is is like almost a complete revamp using these sprites in a way but if you're kind of still this looks really weird if you're still relying on existing sprites and things like that it's like other Mugen people have done more with less and for free so I mean we back kick starters that don't even have gameplay videos sometimes I I always want to see all but I'm just like this is a hey I'd like to admit like you know we'd be barely talked about you saw that Dark Souls 3 board game it's amazing sorry that Dark Souls yeah like I'm all in there same I all of it like you watch how it plays I didn't see anything about it go watch the video it is a fantastic idea for a board game it's really good it looks awesome I went all in on everything okay and it's in
Starting point is 02:01:33 pounds too so it hurts more I was going to say that I think a similar comparison would be cerebral which is another game that has a characters that look kind of I think doing a disservice to cerebral though well but I was I was about to say that it has very untypical non-typical designs in terms of you seeing that the buff witch girl and stuff but I think that cerebral like has more appeal in what we've seen of it absolute between between her and the night soldier guy like yeah their designs are top-notch the designs here are like generic anime oh come on you can't say generic it's very old doing a thing old man who rips his shirt off and his buff I have seen that like that is the most generic like Zybatzu leader final villain guy like it the art
Starting point is 02:02:25 style for him's got a strong point willy fair enough but I will say that the art style that you see for the characters and the concept art is really interesting but not represented in the sprites in the way that I'd like it to be it'd be really cool if the art style that you have for your character designer was more what we got and there's a couple of moments where I'm like that looks like it's a Street Fighter alpha kind of honestly when I look at the sprites I get the feeling that the sprites were made first and that the character art was made second that's a weird point that doesn't make any sense but it does I get that feeling right like especially that second guy was like extra-letcherous like I feel like the sprite was modified out of something else and then
Starting point is 02:03:08 customized and then they made the cool art to tell you look no look the guy's cool I saw I saw something that looks kind of like a phalong torso but I'm not a hundred percent it looks it looks more than kind of like a phalong torso you know the side it's the first it's the fucking generic old guy looks like phalong torso from alpha I stole phalong's torso so that's evil we'll see where this goes but you know I guess at the combat system looks really certainly no mercy of sorrow it's not what it's called but alright I know but what is it don't worry is that the one scary fight omen of sorrow it's omen of sorrow scary fight that's the one scary fight scary fight there's three scary fights coming out how scary is that there's three don't don't don't wait is that the
Starting point is 02:03:56 one where you play is Jason and like it's first person and no no I mean no there's five of those ones no I mean fighting yeah I know five of those like three scary all these horror games they're great if you have a new scary fight coming out you should tell us about it we will announce your scary fight yeah you can write it in it's super best friend cast at gmail.com that's super best friend cast at gmail.com if you think that Pat is Dark Souls Hitler sent in an email to see that's dark shittler at gmail.com the answer is maybe yeah I'm just cracking up because they're the guy who called me Hitler the other day a guy was like oh that's too mean and then that guy replied to himself going I just watched today's video you're super right so we got one coming in
Starting point is 02:04:50 from Anonymous and they're asking the real Dark Souls Hitler do you have a favorite character from a story that has no name what sorry does the story have a favorite unnamed character or like a tale or whatever where they just they never give you the name oh I tell you obviously I tell you but no name that's his name that's the big one I tell you but they all have a name yeah yeah I like that one guy from that thing no odd question if you can't think of any that's fine characters that have literally no name are you know who's tough to remember you know who's cool it has no name the guy from Drive his name is the driver though and the credits I don't know I think that's a descriptor I don't think yeah maybe you're right I unfortunately have no answer to this question
Starting point is 02:05:42 I'll go with that he did he's never named in the movie if he's not named in whatever the fiction is then I guess that counts so yeah the Ryan Gosling too hard to come up on the spot no problem it's a tricky one for sure that's rough to come up with a spot but I'm sure there are some okay we got one coming in from Alex and he says so I recently somehow realized that I skipped friendcast 126 if you don't remember this is the one in which you discussed Madden Town and so on and that was 20 episodes ago feels like forever and the start of the relapse and and and so on and so forth was there I went back and it turned out to be amazing was there ever a time where you find that you skipped an episode of something and then later on went back to it and realized it was amazing that
Starting point is 02:06:29 problem does not happen to me because I'm crazy and I will never allow that to happen so I'm gonna recuse myself from this I watched half of Psycho Pass and then accidentally started the second season and I was like I was like a little odd that this is but okay whatever I don't see the through line between the last no no just my girlfriend only had some of them downloaded on her computer and I wasn't paying attention when they were auto-playing and it just yeah that's usually and it was like it was really kind of weird how that just happened she was like what about this and I was like that didn't okay wait and like check the file names like okay I only watched one episode after the skip but like that happened to me with the ultimates I finished the
Starting point is 02:07:14 ultimates hardcover and then I since it wasn't out at the time I had to get the softcover trade paperbacks for season 2 and so I got ultimates volume 2 part 2 not quite realizing what I was buying at the time so you opened it up for comic saw a spread of some shit going down and immediately dropped the book and went there's no way there's no way this is correct I think I talked about it specifically before there's an episode of new generation where I completely missed it was like in the middle of some random season was when there was all those generation yeah no he means new generation sorry the next generation which Sean he was there and he was like hey I think that you remember is like when they had a bunch of new cadets that were all talking about man I
Starting point is 02:07:58 hope Sid the senpai's notice us yeah man worth sure writing my ass it's called the lower lower lower decks lower decks yeah and that I was just like wait what is this episode who the fuck all these new characters are they trying to put like yeah street fighter new generation where they're trying to bring up new cadets like lower decks is one of the worst episodes yeah in Star Trek and it's like eight or not season eight or nine and it was one of those warning signs like uh-oh the show is going on for too long we've gone too far in some places so let her go kick the Native Americans off their weird Native American planet yeah and getting cock-blocked by Wesley for no reason every day getting cock-blocked by Wesley and also there's some random episode gem in the
Starting point is 02:08:41 holograms where they're on a train and that's the entire episode they're on a train they write a song called we're on a train fuck and I missed it and I watched it again I was like what the fuck is this train shit and also Rio sucked in that episode like he always does so there you go uh there was one other weird thing there was an episode of reboot that I actually missed at the time when it was airing because it was during a weird some fucking fan you are you know what you know what happens what happened it was when there was some white TV bullshit right it was white TV bullshit yeah of course it was of course it was and it was it was on it was on a Friday night when I don't even have to explain what I did and it pissed me off because I remember catching the end of it on
Starting point is 02:09:21 a rerun one time and I was like oh yeah and like whatever it's just going to be an older episode I've already seen and it was a new thing and I was like this is the real what in like and like at the time there was you couldn't go online and go see what you missed no so it was just watch every rerun until that one loops back around yeah which one was it do you remember it was the one where all the web the web creatures no no it was the one where all the all the all the um the users from the past come back and kind of a big deal and Enzo has to fight Zaytan again that's that's a crazy episode I know I know it was really annoying but I remember missing that episode like I remember seeing him much much later too it was because of some white TV bullshit that
Starting point is 02:10:02 fucked me over darn that white TV okay and I all I caught was when the the last thing where he's like beating Zaytan and I'm like it was panic the the ultimate white TV bullshit I remember I was talking about this with star I think about Spider-Man Fox Kid Spider-Man where white TV played the first episode against the lizard and the episode was called enter the lizard right and they'd been hyping it up saying there's a new Spider-Man cartoon catching on Fridays at like 6 p.m. was a weird time slot and then I watched the episode it's amazing holy shit look at all this fucking look how great the animation is oh my god and like Spider-Man will return next Friday at whatever and I could show up and I'm like wearing my Spidey PJs and I'm watching and then they play 60 Spider-Man
Starting point is 02:10:47 instead I remember that I god damn remember that there's a fucking bait and switch they couldn't get the rights for the second episode yet there's some type of broadcaster I researched it years later because I was so butt-hurt about it again and on the internet yeah and it was one of those weird ones where he falls in a fucking portal too yeah totally a weird dumb one oh man that's I was so pissed forever white TV people's childhood it's not me but I do remember uh when I uh I gave somebody a disc that had Gurren Lagann on it due to all of the ways that I had acquired it I remember you mentioned this one and I've mentioned this before but for some reason during that process they were all Windows media files or some shit except for one which was an AVI or some sunset
Starting point is 02:11:36 and the one that was playable with no codecs whatsoever when you would put it into a device that plays videos was episode eight and this person just put it in and it autoplayed episode eight because it was the first one that it could play and episode eight of Gurren Lagann was the first one they ever saw yeah and then later called me and said this really this show is really weird who's this coming a guy and I was like oh boy oh boy no one don't worry about that yeah that's rough don't worry about that Lisa um Tim wants to know if you have any allergies I am a highly allergic to perfume cats and slightly allergic to cats if perfume if somebody's wearing perfume around me I will get sick it's bad it's real bad as far as I know I'm not allergic to anything
Starting point is 02:12:35 just uh fake papermario games yeah when they do the test and they inject you with a little bit of papermario the bumps did you do did anyone here do the allergy test I've done it twice I haven't done it because no I mean either like that my dad's allergic to penicillin that's a rough one that's really bad because he grew up in the fucking 50s when that was all that was available it's really annoying that you can't itch your arm when you have to do the test yeah I hate forcing my arm to itch but it does make your arm look kind of like like krillin or like a cool like little bump thing that's like are you one of those people that says itch when they mean scratch and I don't mean like what did I say you said it's really bad you can't itch your arm yeah
Starting point is 02:13:16 yeah but that's not a mistake that you said that no you say that generally that's the weirdest thing in the world yeah because that that's like a bunch that's not like you feel itch but then you scratch in itch that's not like a consistent misspoke yeah yeah that's like a lot of people just that's that's the way you say that it's like roguelike and rouge like it's language to me yeah it's super weird I want to know where that split I think it was just a mistake that kept going yeah yeah you feel no one called them out then you itch that yeah so you doubled down by making it itchier by itching it itch it's the itch so tries to be nuts uh Eddie wants to know what defines a man's actions if two if you were to pit two men against each other like playing
Starting point is 02:13:56 planescape torment right now I'm what who would who is most likely to win the man that has absolutely nothing to lose or the man talk about everything on this is just east versus west no this is a kuma yelling at ken this is do you like does protecting your family make you weaker or stronger well historically I remember that like apparently in a bunch of fucking war textbooks it said that like farmers with pitchforks in size defending their homes are worth x amount of mercenary soldiers or because mercenaries aren't really fine for like because they don't give a shit slave armies are notoriously terrible yeah at war for example um and that right there leads me to believe that actually giving a fuck in a in a normal like situation where the people aren't highly trained
Starting point is 02:14:45 martial artists yeah stuff like in the street fighter example it kind of just comes down to like I mean it's fucking fantasy like it's whoever's written to be the cooler character in real life like a situation where there's two like peak fighters and it would just be the best fighter like man it turns out but in a in a situation like that but in a war in a war the true believers in the idealists have a significant edge here you go here's the weird thing is that like street fighter like the the thing is presented at a kuma like yells I can like you will always be way worse than Ryu or me because you give too much of a fuck about your lame little life or whatever but the most canon powerful character in street fighter is kody who couldn't give less
Starting point is 02:15:29 of a fuck about anything yeah so that's kind of weird yeah there you go yeah or doesn't give a fuck about anything no nothing or gave the most shit and then the least shit yeah nothing for street fighter understated so for street fighter it's kind of weird because it's a weird fantasy it's just whatever gets whatever okay so so here's what it is then it's like if you're the nothing to lose but you're a kuma you lose because you care too much about fighting and winning because the situation is let's say there's a farm that's protecting like his farm and his family inside and there's like let's say there's one guy who has like a knife or maybe even just a gun the farmer might totally wait wait a knife is worse than a gun no no a knife for a gun okay I'd rather be shot
Starting point is 02:16:14 instead anyway but if there's multiple guys and you can fight one of them but then they can just grab his family and be like we're gonna kill your family though that he's gonna give up but if he had nothing of you mean so he'd fight till he dies maybe I don't know it's very weird is Frank Castle scarier before or after he loses his family well if you go by one of the Garth Ennis ones he's scarier okay okay okay okay let me put it this way let me put it this way yeah would you rather try and kill the punisher in modern day as punisher I would rather or or would you rather try and kill punisher's family who have been miraculously resurrected 10 minutes after the version of the punisher I just described so he lost them yeah and was the
Starting point is 02:17:02 punisher for years okay they're back now which punisher would you rather mess with the one with the dead family or the alive family because I'm pretty sure if the punisher saw his family come back he'd shoot them back right to make sure no no go away you're my justification for murder or in a universe flipping on the side he might think you're Marvel zombies get back I might shoot you too so that's a weird situation but but I'd punish or the easier to kill before his family died and your punishers impossible to kill cuz plot armor like he regrets nothing he doesn't wear things on his head he and you just get shot all the time in that he did get killed canon and came back anyway it's fine he was back he used a sacred jewel like the comic books are fucking
Starting point is 02:17:50 stupid the idea that the the slave armies are always terrible is just funny because it just makes me think of like the unsullied and how they're probably just normal because everyone else's shit because everyone in that area is all slave armies you got a bunch of guys that are just normal fighters and they're the god king warriors the elite anyway um they have the magical power to not trip over their own assholes or dick like pacific well my asshole is just dragging a war yeah that's crazy um and they open the boat at the beach and everyone just falls out sleeping like eating eating snacks on the battlefield lunchables and we got one last one coming in for mic and it says dear super best friends what's coming up on the watch and what's coming out on the channel
Starting point is 02:18:39 yeah that from is that for mic no not not mic zero dude okay this is my okay good one mic that's a good one well we just had that's like a 100% chance of your question being answered yeah if you're smart enough you can do that you can rig it yeah we just had a creepy anime bullshit that got uploaded yesterday uh aside from that all the I think everything is gonna continue everything sure pun panel come out before the end of the week though it might it should probably it should and there might be a new box art review of mega man yep that's there will be more dark souls coming I appreciate every weekday I appreciate the feedback on the drawing board by the way I do not appreciate the feedback on the dark soul no I'm kidding I love you guys uh yeah that's that's
Starting point is 02:19:23 gonna be that man that's it that's gonna be that for now and what's on the wash uh uncharted four comes out tomorrow I guess uncharted four I I'm really excited to play it I guess I'm also excited really excited you see that you see that crash bandicoot clip yeah that's getting why it's getting weird there's a clip of crash bandicoot the game being played inside of uncharted four Nathan sitting down with that girl which girl whatever girl what girl don't tell me stuff in the game I don't even know if it's from the game it might just be promotional material is a very weird video it looked almost like a commercial dude I don't think it was game thing okay but you just brought up giant man earlier in this podcast like come on anyway it's just Nathan
Starting point is 02:20:05 sitting on a couch and he's playing crash bandicoot okay and it might not even be in game because it was so weird that it didn't seem like the the game would be dedicated to that but I don't know um I'll give uncharted four world because I've been kind of surprised at how good its reviews are because usually when you're the fourth of something everyone stops caring like god of war ascension uh gears of war for not for a judgment yeah stuff like that so well this one has a real four yeah it's true yeah um but uh doom also actually comes out on Friday so yeah really well what's what's their dumb gimmick name for this Friday like doom day oh I don't know okay so I'm really excited to play the single player and ignore the multiplayer okay that's not
Starting point is 02:20:48 that seems like the thing to do I really wish I really hope the single player I like it so they put out a trailer that had like a robot talking to doom guy I saw that I saw that and he's like oh you're back and I'm like wait what fucking what which actually made me super interested in this game because if it's a canonical sequel direct sequel that would be the best 100 percent and they call you dg it takes place two minutes it takes place two minutes after the last doom yeah after doom two rather yeah uh three that didn't happen yeah I don't think they ran that back that'd be sick I'm really I'll be really disappointed if it's it's after you go to a hell level yeah the guy is like oh hey you're back from the beginning of the game and yeah you hope that's
Starting point is 02:21:36 like a meaningful year back uh I'm gonna cram in my last minute overwatch hours and yeah I'm also gonna just go back to sitting in the dark yep you do that well you're great at you do that it's really awesome the dark overwatch dark watch black tracer stronger no we're black tracer is way stronger but she has she has nothing to lose when you put the booty bra on that you gotta censor it no you pat and I are all asleep in a bed and will he's just playing overwatch for hours by himself that's fine that's fine that's fine uh me and pat talked about that rival group that's an overwatch under look fuck you that joke is terrible he laughed Liam's smiling it's terrible like I went like we recorded
