All right, I love the revolution that Pat didn't know that the movie knockoff was about exploding jeans
Okay, we're actually right here. No, I know. Okay. No, that's not hot now. We're hot. I'm hot
I really like the revelation that Pat didn't know that the movie knockoff was about exploding jeans
I don't know you actually wanted to start on that one. Okay, that's one of those things that you told me and I could look it up
Right now, but I don't want to and no, I don't believe you know you you don't believe me
But you also don't I
Explicitly don't want to believe you and I don't want proof that I'm that you're right
It's counterfeit jeans that explode when you like your ass. How does it explode poor stitching? Oh
Okay, that's what that changes the context
Significantly, yeah, yeah, because when you said jeans that explode
I thought you meant like you put the jeans on and your legs like explode
You don't mean like combustion. You just mean they rip apart. Yeah, maybe okay
Okay, cuz I thought you meant like combustion nighters in it. I feel like that's a relatively vital detail. I don't know
Okay, are you more or less? Are you going to see it before you see alien?
Yes, I'm asking if we're intrigued. Have you piqued our interest? I don't think you have
I would that wasn't the goal. All right, never was well the goal is actually to
Put that Mac and me put that Mac and me clip in the podcast
I mean, I I can it's very easy to do. I'm gonna see what other lips. I can get in there now that
It seems like no one notices until it's too late. The Mac and me clip is a visual
So if I put it in it's no you can hear you can and the podcast video
You can totally hear like that kid flying down the cliff
I
Look, I just played it. Yeah, you can't even tell really have you if you listen to just the audio clip of
Paul Rudd talking to Chris Evans and like a like backstage segments. He's like so I've been on Conan a lot
Yeah, yeah, yeah every every time and he's like, but why?
Why do you do this?
Just like I played it the one time and then I thought it was so funny
You have to commit and and he's like towards the end where Conan's like you've been showing this clip on my show
For 15 years and every time I ask you are you gonna show it?
You're like no and you come up with good excuses like well the the company found out and they're like stop showing the clip
But they never found out really so he's always showing it like and then and then
Paul Rudd would explain that like his movie companies that he was doing promos for we're like stop showing that clip
You're not advertising the movie and he's like all right. Can I get two clip slots?
I'll play the Mac and me one then I'll play your clipper or whatever you want and I'm like
Paul Ryan is so amazing
And I've seen that explicit episode of Conan where he's like, okay, listen cuz that's one of Conan was on the road
I had all right. I showed the clip. All right. Here's the real clip from the movie
The best part of the whole thing is the fact that it
The idea that Conan has no control over his show and the guest comes on and it's their power that makes
It's like the gas it has control over the other parts
But all Conan can say is here's a clip from like this is 40 or like but whatever the code and production team
Has to listen to the guest. They have no say in the matter no matter what he says
Ant-Man
Hanging out with Captain America telling him how he trolls fucking talk show hosts. It's just amazing. It's pretty good
Oh, well, I hate to bother you, but I've completely lost all sound. Are you still plugged in?
Yeah, I even unplugged myself and plug myself back and turn it around turn the little thingy around in it
That's what I do. It's okay. Could it possibly be your headphones, sir? No
Cut to the clip of Mac and me while we fix pretty much, right?
I got a tiny bit of Matt going
Hello, I don't know
Okay, oh if you yeah, did you just put your headphones into his thing? I'll be back
There's thousands of backup
You know, I tried both ports and it's fine. So it's okay. It'll be fine in the end
What's up with you man, you know, honestly not much I mean it's just it's got to be more to you
The ass week after a while, you know after a while of going through like what the technical issues and whatnot
Which you know mixer is sorted OBS is sorted. Yes. Yeah stream is sorted. It's all sorted
You can't account you can't account for hardware, you know, you can't account for the bits that always
Come up with all these don't go. Yeah, do your thing. That's mine, but those are yours
Yeah, oh, I'd actually prefer to have those but I already sweated in these so okay, you don't want days
Oh, well your sweat constant problem. Yeah
Oh, are we doing it? Oh
This is the extended cut. Yeah, this is Mac and me please gentlemen. We might as well
stall for time here
All right, yeah, hey man
The kids oh shit, what's gonna happen? Oh, no, it's in the wheelchair
I've never seen this much little girl
That kids
Why is a puppy have to look like that?
That's a good puppy. Yeah, no the Mac looks good, too
Has anyone ever committed to watching the full movie
Not me not I've known no one that does it. I don't even know what this movie the bomb shows up
I don't remember this. I know there was a mom. What what the fuck?
So someone said this is a bad ET movie that's sponsored by McDonald's
Like McDonald's features heavily in it. Wow, like that was a character that they were pushing. I don't I don't know
Oh
Well, we've now learned more about me than we ever knew that's super. Oh, that's super scary to see that
He yeah, Mac pushes the kid out of the wheelchair
No, none of us knew what actually happened milky
Golem eyes like
Disappated into the depths of the murky water. Holy shit. I don't like that Wow
You can see on the side it says Paul Rudd Conan
That's a compilation of every time you showed it and it's six minutes long
That's that may not sound like a lot, but when you watch it, you're like it's a marathon
You want to get some popcorn out while you're watching it and Conan?
You can see that halfway through this 15 year span
He starts to be like it's gonna be the only just resigns to saying it in this dead way
You know, I'm sure every part about that is that he looks like he's aging because of the clip
Conan yeah, yeah, not not cuz it's 15 years
It's sorry. It's just I don't ever you when you see Conan
I'm like Conan the barbarian and otherwise. I think of Conan. You know Conan in the late night
My name was Conan. I'd call myself Conan and not Conan. Um, yeah, that's fair
Yeah, now to truly appreciate
I want to make sure that the everyone knows that you have to listen to it
You can't if watching it detracts from it. So audio listeners you got the better version of that
Yeah
We'll just put Mac in me and to end into YouTube and you'll be fine. We now have podcast homework
We'll go on this ride together will we over a cliff and
Into and to water I'll just put banana wooly in the seat next to you and you you won't know it's not me
Yeah, and then I know I won't you can go over the cliff. No, I won't there you go
Fucking kept that thing
Why the fuck didn't I keep it? That's what you have regrets about keeping not the dragon dildo
I'd like one of those current login God, that's damn it. I'm literally the only person never got it
It's one of why watch it once I asked you before how was your actual week?
That's what I was alluding to. Oh, unless you have another
Segu well, no the the truth is is that I mean I was gonna wait for Pat to finish off there
But I didn't have one so there's that okay. I think I know what actually happened my head. What happened to your headphones
I think even when they're off and being used as like pure headphones
I think they still have to act in a powered state and I think it ran out of juice finally
So are you gonna do this podcast without headphones? Yeah, pretty much. These are too big
I can't they they're falling off when I put them on my head. Wow, okay
Retract you do you walk with like buds or anything like that? No, no, I'm good. I'm gonna do it raw. All right raw
All right, they were tracked though. I guess that's that's how we do it. They were tracked. It's still like oh
Well, they're man-sized headphones so I can understand my head is gigantic. His head is gigantic. That's ridiculous
I don't know. Yeah. Mmm. That's right. Diculous. Well
All right. All right school style, right?
Here is fine like those old singers that would put their finger in one of their ears block it and then just listen to the tone
Anyway, so yeah, um the don't don't don't yeah, there's nothing here
I got no week. So about you so you were just in a in a Lazarus pit for seven days. No, I I
Like built I built furniture. I emptied boxes from my old place and I went to a wedding
You had a week
There you go. It's not really a podcast week. That's it was weird because we had our wedding battle on Saturday
It wasn't much of a battle. What is that huge?
I know you like it's so funny the difference between
How things are done out because like Matt puts the picture up and I was like I don't put the picture
Yeah, yeah, I put the picture up and I and I just replied I was like oh shit. We're at a thing too and like I'm never scared
Never scared. Yeah, because she's like, you know, don't be scared and Matt's like coming at it with the guns out attacking leprechaun
Just whatever to be fair. I was his wife is just like, oh my gosh
Then look how pretty you guys are here. She looks so good and I was just like thank you and Derek
From soft skeletons from fighting in grace. So we so we met in yeah in Seattle. We're like we're cute too
But to be fair I want to apologize. I was kind of drunk. Oh what you had a wedding
Okay, I wasn't okay. So there was a contest how many mints can you steal from the bar?
So I didn't I didn't participate but David and Leanna David's like I stole a lot of mints
And she's like I stole more mints than you and then he's like no no you didn't so we go to we go home
We go to bed we get this text in the morning that David's like
55
Mints picture of all them on the table and we had a luxury house like 12. Oh, so you got your ass blown
That was not even a contest
Crazy, I guess slowly turning in the stamper over there. They're they to be fair. They were free mints
But with the challenge that's right. No, but you steal more than your allotted amount
That's 58. I guess 50. I guess the only like notable thing about the wedding was that
It was a Chinese Italian wedding. I've been to I've actually been to no
I didn't I was next door to one of those. Yeah, okay
Yeah, the groom was Chinese and the the bride was Italian and both families came out like in full regalia
That must have had some good food. Well, that's a mix of no
It was pretty good food. It was pretty good food
But like, you know, it's serious when they've got the goddamn like pursuit cutter
Yeah, like, you know, and they got the the the Capacol and the Gabba Gula rather and and whatnot
And you've got the like the the meat machines. They are in the order of seven exactly
And it was it was an interesting kind of hall where like they knew that yeah
Everyone's gonna be here and they're gonna be stuffed and lazy
So after everyone's drinking in the in the general like area waiting for the reception to start
We didn't realize that as you're standing around eating or girls and talking
They just moved the walls around and turned the area everyone was in into the reception. Okay, so they just built
The thing around as you and then suddenly music and lights turned on you like oh that was the dance floor
Yeah, no, it was it was kind of the same of mine where it was there was a reception area
We're just drinking waiting and they had like hors d'oeuvres or it was like it was like a lamb hawk
Yeah, and they gave me a napkin and I'm like
I'm trying to eat it and it's going real badly
Then they're like, okay move to this next room and just as we're moving we turn and we see fog start rolling in
I like that I like when they know everyone's fat and lazy and they build it around you
Yeah, they bring the party don't worry. We have this we got
I guess actually I
Kind of forgot, but yeah, I did play arms
I did do the the punch test and I did play arms a good game
Yes, it is the gate. It is a very good game. It's very fun. Um, it reminds me a lot of
Pokken
Where are you like what's about moving moving and yeah moving and dodging and then like if I can
You're playing fantasy strike on fisticuffs. Yeah, it does remind me of the thing you're saying is like
Execution doesn't really matter that much. No, it's making the right decision at the right time
And that's it because like arms like fantasy strike everything is basically just one button or one thing or whatever exactly
And and because you know everyone is
Because like throwing is such a tempting thing to do such as big damage and you know pulls the guy in and but you know
you know you have this like like
Game where like throwing is basically like what you can expect to be coming at you a lot of the time at the beginning
I suppose but like but like when punches come in there are going to be a throw you can still punch that those them out
Yes, or you can block or you can dodge. We can't block it. No, if it's a throw you can but if they're punches
Yes, yeah, and or you can jump and then the air maneuvering really adds like some a lot of fun to it
So like I was playing as a ninjara. Yeah, I was a master mummy a lot and his air dash is really good
Well, his his fucking block when he's blocking and someone throws a punch. He gets a free teleport
Yeah, I didn't know that okay if someone throws a punch at you and you block and if you successfully block
He automatically teleports to the left or the right and you just
Cool, wow super good that way, but like he doesn't do a lot of damage
Yeah, and you know, I was trying to get the hang of like all the different arm abilities
Yeah, was there a standout that you really liked? Uh, I I know that I was having a hard time with
Noodle girls laser
Yeah, because it's on such a delay
Exactly, so I understand that there's a it's very I can see the how it's strong if you set it
Combine it with something else, but like you're committing to it being out there
So you don't have the ability to always come back with like a combo as strong as other characters can
I really like the big heavy like a bowling ball a wrecking ball thing the master mummy ones
Yeah, especially if you pair it with something that's fast
So you have someone dodge something that's fast and then you just like that that's where when I started playing it after like my second match
I played a little bit of PAX Eastbath my second match was like, okay. This is so good
especially when like in this in this
Demo whatever there's a limited amount of arms and there's gonna be more in the main game. I'm like that's that's I mean
I'm trying to think of another fighting game or any type of other fight thing that has that I guess it's kind of like
variants and MKX where your special moves it's it's it's equipment, you know
I mean like let's let's call it what it is. It's a good man
It's quite also reminds me more of something like the armored core versus mode than any actual like traditional fighting game. Yeah, or
Insanely, yeah, no, but like a robo a little bit. Yeah
It's about your kit. Yeah, your body has some special but in this case, it's just each arm
but you can mix and match for each arm and
I really one thing I really like is that they show you the damage numbers. I think that's a really cool thing
You get to see right away like okay
Mummy's has a throw that does like 50 more damage than the average
Mummy master mummy replenishes his health if he blocks exactly so just standing just doing a neutral block just regain your health
It's slow, but I mean it's really interesting
So the fact that the numbers are out there it gets you to quickly understand like what weapons are
Stronger here or like better at this or that like you can kind of very quickly see the applications because you know
The damage values right away. Is there a character you didn't like that you played. Um, I
Only hates Twintel
Wasn't
No, cuz I mean I honestly like because of the way the punch test was it was like you could just kind of do what you can
With what you with what you get? I like Ninja hour a lot
And I I missed his mobility when I didn't have it, but I think I think I pride the most trouble with noodle girl
Yeah, right men men I think I men men for the win-win. Yeah, I think I had the most trouble with it with just her dragon
I spent and then the other thing is that like so so yeah
Let me just summarize the thought like the game is really good and fun and and playing local two players really fun as well
That is that is down and working and it's what screen right split screen exactly
And because you're punching and at the game is vertical like it makes like the way the screen is split
You're fine. You're super fine. You don't need all that horizontal space exactly, you know, and you're focused on the other player
What wasn't fun about the punch test and perhaps in the final mode is the party mode because the way that set up is
baffling for some reason where you can go online with two people, uh-huh, but it will put you into random game types and
Oftentimes that'll include one of you not playing
So you're like you'll have a bubble with the main player and then your buddy second player and you're floating around joining like different matches and
it'll sometimes pull in like a
Solo player here a solo player there and then you guys they become a team and you do two on two, right?
But then sometimes it'll pull in solo solo and then make you do three versus each other
This feels like this is like why do those like, you know quick match in many games a little forego
Like a lot of matchmaking considerations. Yeah character picks
This feels like the fast like the fastest quick match of like what it what is available bam
Yeah, if it's not if that's not fixed in the final build
What it should be is like if you link up with a one friend on
Overwatch and you have like the green line connecting you play together
They always throw you guys but but then you don't get into a match if it doesn't have two open spots
I take a little but but I mean what the thing is the thing about that is that like because it does
Something like where it grabs the same players, but then it just either it arbitrarily cuts one out or doesn't I find that
Silly and I find it should always have the two players playing together. No, I think so too
Or you know what I mean or like and sometimes it'll go solo
But till it player two goes up, you know, I was playing just by myself and I like the party mode and that like
Okay, now it's gonna be the V-ball which I really like the second ball mode. Yeah, I wasn't too I wasn't a fan of it
I love it, but I mean again, it's party mode
So I know for sure that it's like it's there for a variety and I'm glad that we have variety
But I'm not gonna be playing what a what a liked more than that is when just you're in the ninja stage the the sloped
Stairway stairway and one-on-one. That's what I'm like. Oh shit. Okay. Now now we're gonna go
Yeah, and I had although like stage disadvantage is huge there like high ground is so much better
I I if there was I wasn't I guess I usually was on the high ground
I think about it because you because it's the same in shooters where it's simply looking up
Means you have less range to like target and play with and when you're looking down
It's your whole screen. I loved Helix's stage like with the the glass
The glass guys in the test tubes. Yeah, and just like punching around the Nintendo or a marketing firm can be like
Oh, yeah, this stage is crazy because you got a punch around the things to get advantage
I'm like, yeah, whatever. We'll see when you're actually playing it
You're like, it's a huge advantage to hide behind and fucking curve punches around until until you smash through it
Sorry, let me ask you guys about that because I didn't get hands-on on it. What control scheme did you guys use?
So here's the thing the way it starts out
It does a tutorial that forces you to do motion controls right and then afterwards I switched to
playing as
Playing with the controller. Okay, I wanted one of you to tell me you use both, but here's the problem
I use three different. Oh, yeah, but here's the problem is like I want so yeah
I and I and I would switch to that but because of the way the party mode was set up
It would constantly mean to play a versus match. We'd have to restart and
Go back to the forced motion control tutorial. Okay, and then that first match that wouldn't up and that's because it's the global test punch
I don't know. Yeah, so I
Got to do both and I like at first. I really didn't want to play with motion controls like at all
I'm like, I just I know myself. I'd rather just aim with the put the sticks and buttons and whatnot
But because of how inconvenient it was to keep switching back and you know, they're gonna use the motion
I ended up getting used to them. Exactly. And in the end
Compared to the other thing I played like these motion controls were functional and fine and weren't much of a problem
My biggest issue with them is that movement requires tilting your hands
Like your character just shifts to the left shifts to the right to walk around you have to treat
Your hands as if they were sticks. Okay, like virtual. Yes
And
That's one thing I just don't like it works
But it feels clunky a little bit because I the simply like the the time it takes to switch
Your hands and get the movement going now
That control that is like you point them in different directions or is it all just like one bit
Both your hands are one big analog stick. Well, it's if you punch with one hand and then you have to aim it
Okay, and yeah, you are doing independent. How do you aim it when you're using regular?
Yeah, I was gonna say one thing about that is you do you just flick the sticks left and right
And you curve them one thing about the motion controls versus the sticks as I find curving punches was a thousand times easier
With motion because you you just go like that. There's so much more of a range of movement where the sticks
I found maybe I mean I played I played primarily with traditional controls because I I did in handheld mode
Then I took out the pro controller
I liked it better in handheld mode just because I'm still not a massive fan of the switch
Pro controller. Oh really? I love it. Uh, it's it's good
But I much prefer the we use pro controller because it's it's it's chunkier and like I don't know it's just
I just don't prefer it, but I I'll I'll use it. Yeah use it on street fighter
Yeah, I'll shoot fighter. I mean at the end of the day like I feel that like
Because when I flick the sticks I find my punches go like this then they go like
So so the way the curve as well
But that's the thing is like if like at first I thought it was like wind jammers right where it's like
You do like a half circle and then it's going to go and follow that motion
But it's not like that because of the way the the punches work
It's you throw it out and then you correct afterwards. Yeah, because it takes
What a second so if you if you if you punch and then correct afterwards instead of trying to create the entire swoop
Yeah, it will
Correct where you so with the analog sticks
You're just waiting a little longer for you to correct and that because it's a sharper angle
Well, no, it's actually you have more time because it's like you've tapped the stick up
And then you're watching the whole thing happen
Okay, whereas like when you throw a punch out with the motion you're engaged the whole time and kind of like trying to you know
This is interesting to me because like because the the switch has the handheld mode
Which is going to be a lot of people are going to be playing games
Nearly exclusively you you guys are playing it nearly
Yeah, I use I mean
I'd say I think the last time we talked about this I said I spent about 80 percent of the time playing in handheld mode
And the rest of the time I dock it. Yeah, and like this is a situation where like
It's kind of requires like traditional control viability. Like it doesn't have to be perfect
Yeah, I remember seeing people complaining that like certain kinds of movement are considerably more awkward with the standard controller
Well, it's just at the end of the day if you want to play this a lot
You're you don't want a game that has like when you do a super you have to waggle
You have to do this because to do or all right
So so you don't want a game that you're playing a lot of have forcing you to do that
Yeah, well, I got a no matter what anyone says. Yeah, but it's
Sure, but at the same time, you know at the same time. Well, if you're creating this game
Are you telling me you're not gonna let people or or absolutely not like it's it's no no no
It's fun that it's there and and but I just I'm just saying like
I feel like anyone who's gonna like put time into it is gonna be like play this competitively. Yeah
I got it. I need to probably why I imagine the actual thing is that are you gonna play this for 10 hours in a row?
Well, that's what I mean
Like just check it out. Check it out. And here's here's the way I see it. Here's the way I see it, right?
If to you this is gonna be the same way you played we boxing where
Party time. Well, okay, but like friends come over, you know what I mean?
And you're doing multiple things and or it's uh
You're having a night out a party or whatever and you guys are just like, ah, fuck. Let's stick around and play some some arms
Right, then. Yeah, absolutely stand up. Do some do some some uh,
Motion controls in the same way you'd play like rock band or something. Yeah, and it's that type of activity
No, you're right, but if you're sitting at home on your couch playing a couple hours of arms
Yeah, I think it makes more sense, you know, you know what I want to be the natural like and result of this
I want like tech to be discovered that's only possible with each control
I want like okay directional impacts are actually only possible with very specific hand motions
But certain forms of guard ba ba ba are and so tier lists get organized based on one thing
I can't say is that because of the movement controls, uh
The idea that uh, what should we call it everything the the main idea behind the game seems to be like everything has such long
Cool down, you know, so like your arms got to retract when you fail
Yeah, so when you're on a controller, you're gonna kind of be like you're gonna have to be patient
With some movements and motions, you know, because like it's very it's it can be slow at times when you're not moving
to control it
Um, but it's very fun that party mode has problems and I don't intend to use it
Uh, however, when you can pick your own modes and play the ones that you like
I'm sure it's going to be a good time
Because it was the only mode that was available as party mode just because it
Through you into matches really quick because all this was was to get online data about how matchmaking data
We need to figure out what's right exactly
I played it on the first day then I played it on the second the first like I had zero
Problems like buttery smooth nothing no drops. No nothing second day like in the morning. Yeah, they're I disconnected from like maybe
Out of like two dozen matches. I disconnected out of maybe half
Did you have any super versus super moments where you could like?
Yeah, because uh, like you're who was it someone shoots hurricanes like little whirlwinds
It's either master mommy or ninja or someone's throwing that and then someone's doing a super to me and it was just
Yeah, it was kind of a jojo fight at that moment one thing they do
Uh with the 2v2 is you guys are tethered together. Yeah, so yeah, it's interesting like that
Well, it's interesting because I can I it's annoying, but I understand why they did it
And like when you don't spaghetti arms all all over each other
Well, no not even I think it's because another player can't then just go all the way when you sandwich because you can't sandwich some
Team and when you do it's so fucking hard to get out or yeah
It's like you're trapped in morgan's bullshit
Yeah, and you don't know what's coming behind you and your focus is on one or the other
And if your partner partner is leaving you high and dry and you're getting and you're like in between four noodle arms coming
It's kind of like morgan and goro had a baby and then their their baby is just
Fucking narrowing you with all of its arms. Yeah, it's bad
And and you see that you see that happen when you when you get put into a three way
Is the only thing to do is like three way is super fun. Just because it's no, it's not
Oh, I thought it was great. No, it's not three way is
Like two people when it's two on one triple threat. Yeah, yeah, it's three way dance when it's a three way dance
Like if two if whoever is looking at someone else
If you look at the person they're targeting and you and you like two v one it
You cannot win
and it's there's no there's no like um never give up. There's no, uh, uh
For honor style like if you're skilled enough, maybe you can from this. I don't know. I mean, there was a punch test
So like I'm making I'm making a judgment call nice and early here
But it feel it felt almost impossible to to win just because of the flurry of punches coming at you
And then occasionally a throw and like you're just like I'm recovering if I try to go on the offensive for anything
There's no way I'm not going to get blasted. Well, I guess I found items and recovery
I guess I found the three way dance fun because I was always the one that was doing that
Sure, I never got I played a three way dance. Maybe twice. I didn't get them
I didn't get that a lot
So when when I got when I got stuck in it like yeah, I I did that too
I was like, I'm just not gonna I'm like we're all targeting each other and I'm like, no
I'm gonna look at the other guy and we're just gonna two on one it and it was just like it was a joke
It was a cake walk, you know, there's no chance
but um arms is definitely uh, uh, it's if you have a switch
It's a must it's a must that's gonna be a I don't know if it's a seller
But I will say that it is a part of it's a waifu seller
I wouldn't call it a seller. I'd call it a justifier. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's quite essential to your collection
God, you've already gone for a gun ever
Yeah, I think the peacemaker is a little better. I like just like they're both good. They're both strong
But I like just a fire a bit more
Uh, and the and I played an ultra street fighter two. Um, how is it and ultra street fighter two is street fighter two
I have some things to say about so for one the
Uh, like can uh, evil violent can and evil re you are just the best their jokes
And the game the greatest because their jokes the game itself is kind of a joke
Like there's if you pick them at all, it's just there's no point. It's the best
There's no attempt at making it that busted. Yeah. Yeah
And it it's we're talking like jump in basic combo ending and sure you can
For full damage 100 kill. Yeah
Or tatsu juggle into tatsu
And if it doesn't kill if you drop the combo then they just get stars and then you just do it again
That's ridiculous. I mean like those characters might not as well not even yeah. Yeah, it's it's a joke
It's like it's just wacky ass stupid fun. So you're paying the extra 30 dollars for yeah
Well, that's that's the question right so you might as well like if you want to play super turbo and you want to play, um
Online with people and whatnot then I haven't I didn't do any online. I don't know if you can turn them off
I was about to say is there a fair of fucking cuz like third strike you can turn off gill, you know, like
I don't know if they have that in this online mode, but it's ridiculous
There's no game I might get two glares from across the table
But I went to both games and I searched I have now clocked in more hours on ultra street fighter 2 than street fighter 5
Wow, um, not to say anything horrible, but
Book
No, actually just playing online because I'm working on my computer
And I I just start up arcade mode. I'm waiting for someone to render
So someone joins up and then I just I just fight them and I've had
Perfect online play so far. Okay, like I just played what is it?
Guerrero on the ps4 like a month ago and it was fucking unplayable and that
And that's because of the people doing the port. I assume so
And I'm just like this this works very well. I'm like, yes, are they ludicrously unbalanced?
Of course, but you start having violent ken versus violent ken matches and it's probably the most fun as I'm going to ask
Obviously with what you say. Oh, you start having fun. I'm going to imagine you were playing as violent ken online
Yeah, okay. So are you saying that if you could have played with better online in sf5 with a completely broken and overpowered character
You would have spent more time in sf5. Yeah, that's what I fucking thought. Yeah, okay
I see. Yeah, uh, but wow, that's a
That's the trick to get player retention. Just break it. Just make one character make rainbow mode
Make rainbow mode all the time for one character and make the game bad
Yeah, but but there's more so than that like other than street fighter
HD remix there are some things like I much prefer in this port like
Completely axing udon's portraits where they tried to replicate what the st portraits look like
Those are gone from every graphic filter. Now. It's just HD up res
Like classic st portrait art, which I know this is a minor thing, but I'm just looking I'm like, oh god
This this looks so much better like well, though a lot of the front end art and a lot of the art
I saw was from
Turbo revival. Yeah from nn or whatever which is weird and turbo revival straight super turbo art was the best
Yeah, the game head when you go down the main menu like I have it right there
But like yeah, you see you see you'll see his art, but then there'll be two or three options that are that's been hd
And it's then you'll see street fighter for real for a stupid way of the huddle
You see the turbo revival art and then you see the way of the huddle and then you see the um the portraits for color edit
Which the first and and most important test was a pass
I successfully managed to go into color edit
Yeah, I managed to go to skin color on dj and drag that slider all the way down
To create the real the real version of them
Color, it's pretty nice
Is he just a void with teeth and then I did the same for balrog and then balrog and dj became the true team
The darkness taken over the street fighter world
uh
The the mode that should be called um, um dramatic battle buddy battle
The mode that should be called dramatic battle is buddy battle as far as feels condescending for nintendo fans
That feels like it is to be fair as cool as dramatic battle is that's something that's lost in translation from japan to english
I think dramatic battle is perfect. I think so too as well. It's it's it's it's it's
I prefer it, but it's like this is playing out the story. That is a japanese thing
Yeah, that yeah, but it's also a term that's like 20 years old at this point. So
that being said, um
In capturing the same spirit of what the whole game is
dramatic battles are ridiculous and of course like you have
Almost no chance of really losing good like just beasting on the how dramatic the computer
I was talking you can only lose one round and then the game is over. There's no continues whatsoever
You share the life bars and so that's how they kind of compensate for it
I was talking to liam not sure you said this to you
He's like, uh, buddy battle's fine
But it'd be cool if they could give you scenarios where you have various handicaps or uh life bars change you have super
You don't have super. It's like your lot. No special moves. It would be it'll just change like challenge missions
It would be cool if they did create little scenarios for it
But they instead they just kind of like have you going up against like the heavenly four
And and it's a very quick mode too. Like you don't go through the whole roster
You go through like the the bosses and secret bosses and then the load's done
Did you um, did you try the remastered uh sound effects and music? Yes
I I put that on I really there's a couple standouts
So I'm like because basically street fighter for sound effects. I think
Where they either had them redid just for this game
I'm not sure if they did but a lot of it sounds really familiar to me
So a lot of the new voice packs for characters like they're crystal clear
They're new recordings or at least recent ones. There's some that stand out really bad like
Dalsam is just over the top. He's like, he's like yoga teleport like
I'm like, is this from street fighter four? I can't tell everyone else is fine
I mean, yeah, although like less we forget if english cammy now though
Less we forget sonic boom from now. It's now. He's good in this. Yeah. Well, he's back. I was at the classic sonic boom
Kind of yeah, it's it's japan all that. It's japanese voice actors. None of it's like the american cast from
I like the hyper fighting version. Well, he sounds weird
You mean you mean big bird sonic?
Boom, which one? Sonica boo like that one. Oh, that's alpha. No, that's sonic. Sonica boo
That's charlie. Is that alpha sonic kaboo is like cvs and out
Alpha three summer soul because I think the worst one by yeah alpha three and cap cumbersome
Super version, which is just sonic boom. Yeah, that's that's the big bird one
I hate that big bird one
And the and the the new tracks were really nice too
Yeah, and there's a violent can gets his track and also violent can I guess is now canon to
The street fighter or universe because
His ending makes it canon svc chaos was not enough of us
It was not enough
A marker. I don't know. It's kind of spoiler
svc street fighter too. I don't but it's a new ending
I should I say it whatever let people go if they want to go. Yeah, but uh later, you know, um
Or it's you you tube it whatever, you know
But uh, yeah the the that's that's fun now that afro can is is
A thing
That they can actually possibly use at some point in the future if they ever wanted to
Now we've been sandbagging it long enough. We should probably talk about way of the head. I had not tried it
You didn't touch it. No. Oh my god. I wasn't on that stream that that would be a stream
So there's a special mode called way of the haddo, you know, oh that fucking thing first person ryu
That uses street fighter 4 and street fighter 5
So it's a street fighter. It's a street fighter 4 ryu, but it looks more detailed
So it's it's like but the shadow lugais that come out are like from street fighter 5. Yeah, and and and uh
I think the bison is the bison's from 4 as well
But again, they're improved models and then they're you're in a 4 stage and then the hide and the
Training look are all from 5. So it's just a mishmash of bullshit
But it doesn't matter because wow, it's terrible
And that's what you're paying the extra 30 dollars and the fucking way this the controller setup is is
Like the way it detects your hand movements. It shows you the little like when you're doing a tutorial
It shows you like almost there almost there green. Yeah
So it's kind of like connect so you can see how bad it is
And detecting your hand movements and the gyro system in general awesome
And then it actually compensates by giving you the option to do
I've never seen this you can go into movement controls and change the sensitivity on everything
So you have like probably 10 15 different options with a number that you can go like, okay, uh still sensitivity
twist sensitivity
um
Forward thrust and like all the different things that you want to like find all the options that this mode deserves
And you can fine tune it, but it doesn't matter because it's it's garbage anyway
And even when I got it working, it was not fun and terrible and you hold your hands in a hadoken motion
And it's like you gotta play this I could never get it going
Sounds amazing and by the end I was like doing a tatsu motion
Which is swerving your hands from left to right because that's because that's how Ryu does it
Yeah, no, you like doing like the stupid little pat dance, right? Yeah, it's you're doing that to do a tatsu
But then he just starts doing hadokens because it thinks that my hands are rotating
Uh, what do you do for srk?
So sure you can you hold one hand still and the second hand goes up and that always works. Okay. That always works. That's cool
But the absolute worst is to do a shinku hadoken. Oh, you turn your hand sideways. You gotta do it twice
you should
You turn your hand sideways, right?
And the sticks have to be facing each other if they're not facing each other even slightly
You're not charging a hadoken properly. Why don't they let you do it twice?
So you hold them in play in play lace. All right, so that they're facing each other
You then press the inside buttons the really hard to press ones. Why wouldn't use the triggers? No
It's not the trigger. No, shut up
Like the triggers I think are for blocking. No blocking is crossing your hands. I forget, but you know, you're not allowed
Just shut up
So you press the fucking inside it's hard to press buttons
And hold them and then you're charging a shinku hadoken and then you thrust your hands out
Okay, and it's fucking garbage. All right, like me
I don't know much about like this area of video gaming and how to make it but like if you thrust twice to do a hadoken
No, no, no, no, just just you bear with me. Let's go on this ride together
If you do a second one and if it detects that you've done it in the space of like one second
How would that not be easier for it to detect that you've done it because
Because the normal thing of the normal flow of gameplay is doing as many as you can
Because the game fucking sucks and you can't kill the you can't get it actually have to do it that
Because it doesn't work. Oh, it doesn't work. Okay
And then you're getting five guys coming at you. Yeah, and you're trying to one by one hadoken them and it's not working
So you're spamming it non-stop
Obvious solution would have been to be able to detect
You taking both controllers
Yeah putting them facing each other like we'll be described
Then having to pull them down to your hip
And then having to put them back out for for that motion
But that requires them to be able to determine whether or not they're going down or up
Which the controls should be able to tell them because of the hd. Whatever fucking what I think so but
This is something I could see james small putting a dozen hours into
This is a mode that I can unlock night's contract. Like I I like I feel
I feel like this was
a
Switch tech demo that switch tech demo. They did internally that was lying around and then they threw it in
We can get
Why can't you just put a fighting game out
Why and so so so
Um, that's a good question. The one the one cool thing about the mode is when bison shows up and fights you
Right and he attacks you with Liam said it was the best part of it
It's the best part of it is he attacks you with a
Head stomp and you block it and you watch the first person head stomp of him bouncing backwards
And like that would be cool and that was that was cool and you understand how weird that is
Yeah, I totally it makes no sense. But whatever. He also flies into psycho crushers
No, but I mean like you finally get the proper image of like how bizarre that looks as
I mean, yeah, yeah into the air but like what's coming on your head
But like while while he's coming down is when you like you get the block down time is like bam
And then he jumps back and that was a cool thing
But otherwise a complete worry waste of a mode a complete waste of your your budget really good job goku
Yeah, you know, hey, there's an art book in there goku simulator. It's a good art book
Yeah, but I I thought it was I didn't realize it was actually just
Um
One of the already existing art books. I thought it was a new collection of of things put together. Yeah, no, but it's actually just
One it's the one with chun li on the cover. It's the one that's only on the cover
And it's the one that goes through every artist individually like here's all uh, which is nice
It's it's nice for a glance at every game because it has one through four
Yeah, no, yeah, just one through four rufus was the latest thing that they had
But it doesn't have any sketches of concept art that never showed up. You wanted you wanted bass. I wanted bass
No kinkobra
None of that fun stuff, you know
So, you know, there's still better art books out there for each individual piece
You know and like the third strike art book you get to see the sketches of the frames
You know of the characters doing their amazing animations. So
Yeah, but it's cool that it's there
I think it's the best art book you can get digitally included in a game, but that's that's I think for anything
Yep, except for like maybe kickstarter like whatever did what about in slave game? I don't even I have nothing
I have nothing for you here. Okay. So, yeah, you know, oh no, that was your non-week
Yeah, I I completely forgot that I played those games non-week. I forgot that I played them. Um
And and I guess
While we're on ultra shoe fighter 4 might as well just take a moment to use the the news
Say ultra shoe fighter 4 ultra shoe fighter 2
When as well like get the news story out there that the whole capcom test thing
Was actually a mistranslation. Yeah. Yeah. So what so it came out that that was a gaffer mistranslation
Ultra shoe fighter 2 is not being held as a capcom test ransom for the switch
But what the that's that became even without the translation thing that became really obvious a few days later with the monster hunter thing
Yeah, what it was it was
We what the statement was meant to say is we will watch how the system performs
Which is what any company would say
And it's like oh if it continues to sell gangbusters
Yeah, but I'm sure we'll wait like another year and they'll be like, okay
That in our tests that we said we weren't having we did hey, let me ask you a question
How excited are you for ultra street fighter 3 that includes the basketball minigame using the same?
As if we wouldn't buy every version of third straight, but it also uses the bad shan model from 5
And it's just as bad wait, you know what I and it is wait 3d
Basketball is the parry the parry challenge is the original game still there. Yeah, but it includes new characters
Such as completed 12 and human necro. So guess what totally broken guess what?
Okay, but guess what that game is still awesome because it's one input and all it's all it all comes down to your timing
Yeah, so whether i'm watching the game. No whether i'm watching hold on
Hold on whether i'm watching the basketball coming at me from side or from first person view
I'm just hitting parry. Okay parry
Parry and that's fine. No, but it's not that you that's what you said. That's what you said
No, I said the basketball game. I didn't say it was the same one. It's a new basketball game
Red con and red con and no, it's not a retcon
Yes, the point is is that the mode is just as terrible as this one if it was shooting basketballs with bar balls
And you have to do the same motion. That's not what you meant. That's not you said the basketball
Realize that what you said and you cool and you fucked up you back it up
It would be fine to be parrying first person and it includes no
You fucked up
I would pay for smashing the car with motion control. Sure. I would do that
Sure, but you know what I'd actually pay for a third strike is what we didn't get
Give me every version of street fighter three generations the anniversary version that we all thought we were gonna get
Yeah, we were gonna get with online edition never came
Yeah, it all in all in one game where you can just make some match modes for the hell of it
Well, not don't put on the switch because we put on everything because I'd love to I'd love to see a
Third strike chuddling like hyper versus hyper street fighter two. Where are you able to mix? Yeah
Yeah, and I'd love to see like second impact to boogie. You know, obviously like coming in and see how she ranks
Dad with the online edition. That'd be fun. I just want one more last thing to say
Street fighter two is that like like for me like it's it's still too expensive. It should have been $20 at most
But like Canada it's extra. It's extra. I don't have to pay the Canada tax
So, um, that's literally what it's called. And but you also get extra sales tax compared to a lot of us states
Uh, that if it ever does come down in price like if you want to play a good version of street fighter two
I don't care for all those extra modes and like good online play like I I have a decent bp rating now
Yes, and and the online play just works like I'm having fun with it like I was playing it on the way here
So, uh, but it's still way too expensive for for 40 bucks, but whatever
It ends up being like 52 or something with tax, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, uh, it it's just it's unforgivably expensive. Um
When you think about when you think and especially when you consider the times we live in and what you're not buying with that money
Yeah, you could you could buy
You could buy like
Two or three good kickstarter games. Oh my god. Is it not worth it? Especially right now?
Uh, but pat tell us about your week. Uh, I played rhyme for about 10 seconds
Awesome. I just want I don't know
I I loaded it up to to fuck around with it and then I went to play something else
Didn't play anything new the only thing that I watched of note and I'm really hoping matt watched the last two episodes
No, I didn't watch the last one. I watched the I watched one more. Okay, so that new twin peaks. There's four episodes out
Matt is it on netflix? No
No, it's on crave tv and it's on showtime. So they're not dumping the whole season in one show
No, what's really weird is they dumped the first four episodes in one shot. Yeah
That's weird. So we want to try and do netflix type things but not but no then episodes are gonna this season is 18 episodes
But then episodes are gonna come out regularly
Like at a point more episodes came out this weekend
Weird yeah, because like the the hbo not hbo the showtime thing
They got their four episodes and then those were exclusive for like weeks
Now it's showing on television. It's it's weird
But uh matt hit the nail on the head of like boy, you spend not that much time in twin peaks
You spend way more time in fucking Las Vegas in nega versus fucking alternate dimension
Fucking yeah
Hi jinx
um
That thing's great. That's lynched to the max
To the absolute fucking maximum is it is it like
Lynch just using twin peaks in name as a vehicle for all the things hasn't done
This is this is my personal opinion. I have no reason to believe this other than the way I look at the show
This feels like the kind of show
That you go back to twin peaks for maybe 10 minutes of every hour, right?
And you deal with the sheriff's officer, you know a character here or there, right and
I get the feeling that
Uh, this is going to be the kind of story that most of the story actually takes place outside of twin peaks
but
Halfway through to 75 of the way through
It's going to end up in a situation where all threads lead back to twin peaks. Let's do it guys
And let's solve the problem all roads meet there and then the
Set the the final arc or what have you takes place entirely with the town. That's perfectly reasonable. Hmm. That sounds good
Yeah, that sounds a bit like what they did with fargo and fargo was fucking incredible. So um
Kyle McLaughlin. I don't know if I'm saying his name, right? He's doing a fantastic
Fantastic varied role. Yeah in many different forms of acting
He is doing a very good job
Uh, and it that move that new twin peaks means like boy, did you watch fire walk with me?
Uh, I tried boy. I gotta go back and watch fire walk with me
I don't know because that ring is more important than I thought it would have been. Oh, fuck now. I gotta
Liam still has my fucking blu-ray side of 20. It's hey, man. That thing is good, but it's it's
Yeah, twin peaks was contemporary to its time and it was airing alongside stuff like Dallas and all those kind of melodramas
This new twin peaks is contemporary for its time. It is not a throwback to the 90s. It is
A modern weird lynchian nightmare
And that first one Matt and I were talking about the other day off camera like that first one's a fucking horror movie
Yeah, it's genuinely terrifying and I didn't talk about it last week
But like yeah, there's like a whole scene that's just
Whoa, that was super scary. Actually
Even though I've never said about twin peaks cheap
But cheap in a really cool way. Yeah, anyway, uh, it's it's great. You should definitely watch it
I would I would term this season to be
Completely nonsensical without knowledge of the original series. Yeah, if you try to jump in on this
I would I would say this is the most
Required watching kind of show or game. I have I have ever seen in my life. It is
total nonsense without
Like for my knowledge. Yeah, not only are we not going to explain it to you
But like there's like anti information
well, there's
There is so much in the red room, which is the end of you must have seen the red room in the whole thing
It's like the red drapes and all that shit. You know where all the magic happens
Permanent you saw it. You've seen simpson parodies that have the red room perhaps whatever
But there's so much in that fucking alternate dimension. Oh the pod screen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, okay
And like the characters that are all there
Are not introduced period. Mm-hmm. Yeah, they're just there
And they're like, oh, you know them, right? And if I was a new viewer, I'd like no
Who is why is that? Yeah
Why is that cg monster someone that these characters know?
Oh, man, it's it's a trip. Also, it's fun seeing who ages well and who aged like a second shade
Most like I think all the women aged great most of the men have not well hawk looks fine hawk looks great
Of course, he does gray hair. I think uh, I think uh, andy is wearing some kind of fat suit
That doesn't look real at all and it's a total bummer that sheriff Truman didn't come back
Yeah, it's it's the
So let's not talk about what they did do with that character
But what they did do with that character is amazing
Like I think I can't think of anything in fiction that has done anything like that
I'm trying to think if episode three or four is the one where you get to see one of the older kids
Yeah, no, you wouldn't you would know
I want to talk to you about that because everyone's actually older time has passed in the world
Straight up 25 years later. Well, it's because the very first the very first scene
Is is the from the original show and it's Laura Palmer talking to cooper in the red room is like i'll see you in 25 years
They literally put that line in because they thought maybe we'll make more in 25 years just in case
That's funny. Yeah. No, it's so good
I really love the line of the old show where coop is talking to hawk. Yes hawk
You're an incredible man if i'm ever lost. I hope they send you to look for me
Yeah, it's amazing
That's a I I that that couldn't be talked about less without going in the fucking and even then we don't really know what's going on
Uh
There's some people that have done some deep digging
I'm sure there is I just mean us and there's this weird part with cream corn
That people figured out but well my my brain just did something based on what the sentence you just said
But I I haven't seen it so I can't really summarize these headphones. Yes. Yeah, like
You said Laura Palmer talked and said something. Oh, thank you. So I'm like, oh
okay
The the red room is a weird alternate dimension in which there's characters don't have to be alive or crazy things happen
So like probably the most impressive thing about this is that aside from
aside from
One or two characters that just left like those characters are not on issues anymore
And two actors that decided not to come back, which is uh the sheriff and don hayward's actor
Everyone is back now. Everyone being back doesn't mean that their character is alive or even that character anymore
I see. Okay. Never mind them, but they are
All there there's one character in the background of a shot that I go that dude's dead
And then you go in the credits and it's like, oh, it's the other brother you didn't know about
Okay
Like it's it's it's a fucking trip
Don't watch it on the influence of substances. You will have a bad trip
It's it will fuck you up. Especially that third one. Yeah, that third one is the weirdest thing I've ever fucking seen
It is there a 20 minute wordless fucking wordless. I forgot nightmare sequence through
Fucking infinity. It's not that weird that it's wordless because
In many scenes in the previous episodes, there's not words for a good amount of time actually
There's lots of long silences. So when that that 20 minute wordless scene happens. I was like, well, you haven't seen Twin Peaks, right?
No, have you seen some of Lynch's stuff?
Yes
Because Lynch has a very specific
Zoom in style for his characters that he is actually
Overdoing for funsies here because they which is I threaten them
It's it's the shot reverse shot in which the shot reverse shot is like 10 different reversals
For maybe five full minutes and no one says anything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. That's David Lynch
That's awesome. It's usually characters that are trying to process whatever they're doing and or saying one character says something weird
And then the it's you pan to the other character and they go
Uh, and then you pan to the original and they're totally normal and they pan back to the second one
And now some people that might not be familiar with Twin Peaks or Lynchian movies to begin with uh, that might sound weird and boring
But it's not it's actually kind of captivating. It's super exciting
Just the way it's just done. I don't know how this went
It's like, you know, the the giant's there and he says one thing and then Koop just stare set him for five minutes
And I'm like just say something more. I just want you to say something else. Everything you say is so great
Yeah, yeah. No, that's good. That's good
man
You live long enough and like everything comes back gets rebooted or gets a sequel
Hopefully
We live forever
Well, Twin Peaks is slightly different because it's not it didn't reboot or get a sequel. It's never got finished
Like how much but I feel like I feel like the um
I don't know how far we're going back to like wrap it all up in but like in the last 10 years
We've had we've revisited so many things from the previous like 40 eternal
Right, have we gone through any so like like like the previous 40 years of all almost had like like summaries and and and uh
Reboots and sequels and such in the last 10 and I feel like
The next 10
Will like speed it up even quicker. Yeah, and you'll get like the backstreet boys revival
You'll get the revivals faster and faster
Until it's just like five years another one like get their skeletons out. Yeah, okay
You know I buy buy buy and if you can and if you can reboot spider-man three times
You can in in like you will in one person's like teenage to adulthood
Lifetime speaking of revivals or speaking of revivals that fucking fizzled. Uh, I saw alien covenant
Well, how about you hold that? I will because
We because we have we have there's men that we have to read ads for they're sponsors. They're sponsors
And let's take a word from them. Let's take a word from them. Okay
This week the spot cast is sponsored by who?
It's sponsored by dsc the dollar shave club

Uh, well, well, you know next time. Yes, don't blow up the podcast
I blew up the podcast. It's fine. It's just I we right now
It's more normal to have a mistake happen in the recording session than it is to not
So eventually we'll get back to normal. I'll blow up the podcast. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, that's fine
I didn't blame the podcast or any of this equipment. No
I just I'm hoping that one week we might be able to get back to doing a session without having well then
We're gonna have to go on. I know
It sucks, but it's fine. You know what else sucks
alien covenant
Oh boy
Um, I'm gonna wait for one of you to actually actually you're gonna wait forever for me because I'm not gonna say
I I I'll I'll go see it. But again, like I said, I had I said
I would go see it this week as long as I didn't have more important things to do
I literally started this week by saying I did nothing
I forgot I just forgot until just this moment. I had garbage to carry you you had you had farts to fart
Sandwich, yeah, I can't I can't I can't go see alien covenant. I'm a little busy
Staring at toast
So, yeah, I'm not gonna go into spoilers now, but like generally it's very very very displeased watching this motion picture
You're sitting there watching going. Hey, I'm displeased. We'll he will know this maybe a bit better. We'll he what do I hate when I'm like
Looking at media or something. What is my absolute fear about what this media is and what its general quality will be
You know, I know this one when it's just a five
Yeah, I hate a five when you land in the middle and you're not terrible
Enough to laugh at or great enough. I think it'll go for you guys
Would you rather see a five or would you rather see samurai calm? Yeah, exactly?
I was thinking deadly prey. Well, what it comes
I guess what it comes down to is like the extremes validate your time being used. Yeah
Show me something stupid
Don't show me nothing the problem is that from what I can tell from that movie is it doesn't show you stupid things
It tells you stupid. It tells you some stupid. It tells you some really really stupid
You know what we all we all hate Prometheus
That's true
But the problem with Prometheus is that there's some interesting dumb things that meant to make no sense
But the problem with the alien covenant more so is that it doesn't have any cool shit from Prometheus
It doesn't really have any cool shit from alien or aliens
It's it's it doesn't serve any purpose really for even existing. There's just
Nothing interesting going on at all. Does it fit into
uh, what I called
the the
safe sequel
archetype
like Jurassic World
It I and a couple of the other things we've had recently I would say that that that is how you can structurally describe it
Unfortunately on like Jurassic World or something and there's like absolutely for me at least absolutely no
Excitement no tension. No, I actually care about what's going on. I heard John C Riley's good
Ouch, I think probably the most
Just
Coming off of um, oh no Danny McBride. Oh, excuse me because I thought you were doing a king kong dig
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm Danny McBride. I'm Danny McBride. He's barely in it. I think probably very
John C Riley was in king kong Danny McBride
Alien right John C Riley is amazing in king kong king kong right. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yes, but just
It just absolutely just bored just looking at the screen just not really caring about whatever's whatever's going on because
I don't know and I don't know what it is. I don't know this direction
I don't know it was a script and I don't know the acting all I can say is that for sure
I like the crew of the covenant better than the crew of the Prometheus
Yeah, that's not hard to do. I mean Idris Elba was in there, but Idris Elba was in there very little
and just
Michael it's it's the Michael fastbender show
It's it's more about him and the aliens it's a more about David and
Aliens are barely a factor. They come in in the last little bit
Anyway, um, and that's what we were talking about a few weeks ago
And I said the marketing made it seem like this really tense awesome horror
Alien movie if you want to see that type of thing and it wasn't really it wasn't
There was one scene where they show a new creature
And the creature is birthed in a new way and I was like it not not a startling new way
But I was like that's pretty good if you saw the half in the bag. I think uh, uh, jay describes it
Yeah
And just I'm watching it and I'm just like, okay, that was it
I saw with four people and they all went that was awful and another guy was like, yeah, I was all right
And I was like, yeah, I was all right. I give it a six or five one guy said that was one of the worst movies I've ever seen
Which is a little hard. I'm I'm just like everything like about that
It just almost doubles down in my head what we said if it helps I'll go see it with you again
Because I want to talk with you immediately after because it has the janitor the terminator
I said genesis before but I fucked up. I meant to say terminator salvation
Of if after you've seen it you start thinking of all the small things not big plot things
The overall quality may be a bunch of non-sense
Fucking horseshit that you're like, why did that happen? Why did that guy do this? Why it is because no one
I have a question for you because you watched the movie. I would like to know an nitty gritty detail
So one of the stupidest fucking things in prometheus by far
Like the absolute one that makes me like it's gonna stick with me forever
Is the part and well, you're gonna remember this because you hated it too
Where they fucking go into the ship thing right and they're like, oh my god
This air has oxygen in it. That's fucking crazy. Everyone take their fucking helmets off right now
Now I've watched some trailers of the movie
And I've seen them walk around outside of the ship with no helmets on at all or any attempt to
What's up with that? Okay. So, you know what you just just described in prometheus?
How they go down on they go down on the planet with helmets on
And then, you know, like as you described a character goes, hey, I just tested the air a little bit
I think it's fine in here in that structure. Yeah, so then she as this bold space adventurer
Takes off her helmet in covenant. I fucking forgot
Oh
Like
I fog of word that
To not be annoyed by it anymore
And you just reminded me that it happens
Hold on. Fuck. It was stupid. I contact with me
In covenant, they doubled down on not caring
How they just don't even show up with helmets on
They just walk off the ship
Now there's a reason for this in the movie
The reason why is because they, you know, like a lot like mass effect and andromeda
And in an opposite way, they run tests from their ship over the earth's surface and say though the air is breathable
It's totally fine. There's there's a clip in the trailer of the black goo going inside someone's fucking head from a mushroom
So within five seconds like things infect people because the air is breathable
You're totally right. They nailed that shit. But there's a problem is if there's crazy bullshit all over
Your job your job is to fucking protect people
From any other type of bullshit particles that might exist in the breathable air
When we're talking about an alien planet, there's the two parts one is oxygen very important
Oh my god, right? But the second part is you don't know what else is you don't know what animals are there
You don't know what like just because something's not in the air at that second you scan it
Doesn't mean shit can't get into the air later when you're walking around
You could be walking around on titan and for all we terraformed it and the air is breathable
But then a fucking enormous
I don't I don't get you. I don't get out of the ground like kills you Ridley scott is not dumb
He's not an idiot. He's a smart director. How do you fuck that up?
But I don't think he cares that much about writing and like I don't think he thinks about well, it's not important
Did he gloss over that page?
I don't know. Well, what's important is space jesus. I don't also
That there's not going to be any directors cut of this film
And there's a lot of directors cuts of his films because they've cut out shit loads of from hit like think about it
Blade Runner kingdom of heaven from ethias
Uh, there's another one. Um, whatever
Uh gladiator gladiator had a decent one too
And in this one, he said now we have no there's no real major story stuff all the cuts we made were for
Um editing and flow purposes. There's no information. There's nothing going on that I want to put in
I'm like that that's a testament to to the thing. So by the way, everything we're complaining about is surface level just
science stuff
Like the the spoiler things are character motivations and their past. That's the real thing of the movie and that's what I'm not
My my my main spoilery problem is its connection to the future is so like I I don't I think it's very very
Tenuous the way you were worried about I haven't seen it like I don't know what you've read or whatever
I don't think it was anything that made me go the future movies are ruined
You could say that they are but you could easily say that they're not I I'm saying that they are well, then that's your prerogative
I'll like I want to hate this movie by all I know
Not and it's flaws and not like things that tries to yeah, but I don't want this movie to exist
I don't want Prometheus to exist. I didn't want alien 3 or
So so so like I I feel like and I said it last time like
If a shitty new entry is happening. I don't need it
The only thing that was interesting to me about Prometheus was David
So
And I guess the engineers yes, but but I mean that's a good show
But it's like him in relation to David and the engineers
Yeah, but it's like him in relation to them, you know what I mean
But like so I kind of feel like I'm like that's the part where you know if they're like, yeah
This movie is all about him and stuff. I'm like, okay really probably had the same idea
You know where he's like he looked at and he was like, yeah, that was probably the best part
The most interesting aspect of it
You know, but the idea of I guess turning like the alien franchise into like a thing just about him and whatnot is like
If it's if it's destroying the rest of it, then fuck, you know, I wouldn't even say destroying it
I don't like the way that it interacts. Okay. Well. Well. Yeah, you said it. You said it's it's it's it's it's too safe to be interesting
So I'm still I'm still holding out and I'm gonna see and and the other main thing I won't say what it is
It's all papad I won't say what it is here, but like there's a
Like stinger thing that gets revealed at the end. That's the most obvious. Well, that's the thing I have the problem with
There's 20 minutes to the end of the movie
They go they present you a scenario and then they just like it's up to you to
To think about what's going to go on with this scenario and it was the most obvious thing ever
And I was like the movie better not be hinging on this reveal to be the final shot ever since
Ever since resurrection ever since resurrection. That's been the case is the last minute mutation
You know what I mean to close out the credits. This is worse. The resurrection is this is considerably dumb. Oh
Anyway, and well, not even need to see this and only not even like you say ever since resurrection like every single alien movie does that
Yeah alien it gets on the ship. Yeah, but no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
But but that's but that's not that's that that's different. I'm talking about like the it's the new creature that just pops out at the last
Second
Like one and two. No, this isn't this is something much different. It's a different thing. Yeah, okay. All right fine
But it is a revelation
But like, you know, give give alien through some guff the the last few seconds of alien three
Oh, hey, wait a second
Yeah, if if alien I thought aliens had been visiting earth since the Mayan era
That's what AVP said. Yeah, but humans didn't know
Oh, fuck. Wait. No, you mean like their creation. Yeah, whatever. I I
They existed AVP's a separate. Oh, I guess it is
Even though wayland utan is in it
um
the last
Five very bad alien movies of alien three
The last five the last 10 minutes of alien three or like save the rest of the movie. I think I completely disagree
I think that movie's kind of a mess
Yeah, but the last 10 minutes is I think the best part of that movie is them talking about the alien in the fucking medical bay
They're like, this is bullshit. It just fucking kills the guy right there. It's like
That's my uh, anyway. Yeah, that's alien. That's that's I'm done. Uh, just really quickly because yeah, um
I was watching mystery science theater a few thousand like the new stuff a few weeks ago
I talked about it
I saw a new episode that I have to recommend to every single person
It's it's one of those episodes where people are complaining that like jokes are coming too fast
And and you can you they they need a little room to breathe. They did an episode for a 1960s korean kaiju movie
I've never heard of called young gary
That's young that's young gary. Okay, not young gary, but everyone says young gary. Oh
And one of the jokes is like where's old gary? Oh, damn
so
Young gary is one of my as you could probably surmise my favorite classic mystery science
Yeah, my favorite classic mystery science zero three a thousand episodes are when they did godzilla movies
Is that a young gary action figure behind you? It is not
That's kafulu. Oh, okay
But those are some of my favorite episodes and this episode
Completely like made me think of those and that it did take its time with jokes because the dialogue is is fast dubbed
Uh, so oh man that thing looks stupid. Yeah
People talk very fast and a lot
So they they have to let the characters talk a bit and there's not that many like, you know
Long spaces of time where they can just make uh thousands of jokes per second
Even as funny as they are but the young gary episode fucking
Like destroyed me. I was laughing so I was watching it late at night lianna sleeping next to me and i'm going like I have pillows
pushed in my face because i'm going like
Try not to wake her up and then she's like are you farting all night? What's that noise?
And i'm like, no, i'm just going
No, that's the new one. That's the new one. Don't look at that
You want to look at you want to look at the old bad one? I'm looking up. I'm looking up young gary. Uh, you want to find pictures
That's it. That's it. Okay. Yeah, look at that stupid thing. It's just a bad godzilla knockoff or whatever
Uh, so that episode was was amazing. Um, I I recommend it
If you want to check out that show on on netflix, um, you know, you can just go to whatever episode doesn't matter
I found the art you drew back when you were yeah, I did not know about
And the last thing is that I bought a car
How about that? Yeah, it didn't it didn't work out the first time we went to go
How was it driving around? Uh, we're we're we bought it, but we're picking it up tomorrow. How's the handling?
It's it's a honda crv. It's basically like a hatchback like kind of mini
Uh, you know utility vehicle, whatever. How do you like driving it?
I'm not gonna be driving it
Now that I own a car you probably rather than borrow one occasionally
I might like start the impotence to gain a license is slightly higher
You didn't get you didn't get a minivan so that you can take all the cats to soccer practice
Well, this thing is got lots of room. Yes. It is a crv. That is crv. So, um, so yeah, uh
It's a it's a used one and whatever just kill something. Was that the moth? Yeah, you got it. Wow. Of course I did good job
It's been weeks, but we got them. Oh, you're gonna killing insects. Yeah. Yeah
I don't like them. Yeah, they need to go you shriek and leave the room. No
I used to do that, but now I can shriek once it's dead final fair enough. Can you can you like catch flies? No
That's tough. I've I've done it. I've gotten it. You did it once. I see, you know, I've done it
You can get it in and then you just know the the reason why I'm decent at it
Is I can tell when I have the five seconds you need to sneak up on them, you know, you need the time
You need the prep time. I uh, I usually let them out, you know, fuck them
Yeah, I used will the I used to live in for done. Oh god a little spider. Oh mothman said
Uh, anyway, I'm gonna be airbrushing predators and yeah punish our logos onto this thing today's today's episode of the friendcast featuring moth
for like a second
Woff, boss. All right, that's me. So all right, um go see alien covenant. Yeah. No
No
Matt I will key your car
Because I can do that now. You know what you'd be like you see the movie and you key my car. You're like fuck you and I'm like
Fair enough. Oh, no, he looks out the window and just goes. Yeah, he keys alien covenant for life
Yeah, that's fine, too
We got some news walls. Yeah, we might have some news might have some news
I'm gonna save the the the puncturing of your tires for when it really counts. Please do. Yeah
They're tough. They're tough wheels though
Um, they're not firestone wheels. Are they? I don't know. Those are the ones that'll kill you
Duh, those explode. No, they just killed a bunch of people because they suck
Um, that's not very dramatic and more sad. Well
Speaking of dramatic damn
Final fantasy seven anybody. Oh you want to talk about that final fantasy seven anybody? Uh, yeah, maybe in like four years
Yeah, I don't think all right. So think about it. Just uh, I play a game by this company a lot and I follow its development very strongly, right?
And in the background of the 14 development, there's always this weird edge
of like
We're fine over here with all of our stuff
Right. Yeah. Yeah, um
Everything about the way square manage square annex manages its larger projects for the past what 10 years
It seems like at least
Yeah
2007 to 2017 like I'd say the
The fort the 15 you can stretch it the the 13 versus period. Yeah
Yeah, fabula nova cristales. Yeah, everything since fabula nova cristales. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like
So the the proper article is that the remake undergoes a extremely large development change in which they're pulling it off cyber connect and pulling it internally and
shifting around some management roles
And they're putting the uh main programmer
behind lightning returns haoki hamguchi
In the lead role. I'm not familiar with him, but
He also makes a new BS lightning returns ran like shit. So I don't know. Um, now
I mean, it's not much anyone would be personally responsible for that
Like I don't like I feel as if it's weird because you know, I think cyber connect is
Like
Proven masters of style. Yes, if not gameplay because I still if not gameplay if not
Usually not gameplay
The though and you know with their their jojo stuff and whatnot like recently we can see that like yeah, man
those dudes are like
With they like if someone handles the design for the gameplay that's not them
They can do good work. So
I've never
So this though
This is a weird thing because I mean you can when I look at that screenshot, especially now having played so much of um
Fucking 15 you can see how this is. Oh, yeah
No, really really just 15 with other models in it. You know story and and whatnot. Yeah, and and uh, you know what?
That's kind of fine. Yeah, because that engine was fine and I enjoyed it
um
but but I guess like
I I kind of feel like most of this is gonna be like
Since we aren't the engines there and like everything's just kind of like playing out and it's probably going to be very similar to how
15
moves and plays and handles
I I don't see like how this is going to really drastically affect things
Well, here's here's the way that I see it, right?
So the to take away that I get from this the number one
Is okay guys, we announced it two years ago
But we're gonna start working on it for real now
Which is what we saw for verses 13 for like what fucking seven years
That could be the right and the other thing is that how many fucking projects is namura gonna direct?
That have these kinds of problems that get excuses because oh luminous engine is fucked up and then
But at the same time nothing here nothing here expressly says this is a restart
Uh, this is a this they said it's a handing over of you know
Responsibility and they're taking it from external into an internal so that they can handle the quality
You're right, but I don't trust square annex to tell me when something's actually in development
But switching like the handling of like, you know switching out maybe cyber connect
When the game is still three years out to me doesn't strike me as uh,
Your your work is done. It strikes me as you were you're fired
Well possibly but but I guess all I'm saying is like all we can do is speculate on that angle
And and and like and if that's the part that like is what would get you upset
It's like that's the part that we don't know enough
Well, here's here's something you do know a little bit more about it's like let's look at kingdom hearts 3
Whether or not you care about it or not. How long ago was that announced two years ago longer for sure
I'm thinking of the trailer. It was it was announced way before the ff7 remake
And how long has that been in real development under numera?
I don't I don't know and they say oh kingdom hearts 3 and ff7 remake. They're they're good to go in maybe 2020. It's like
Man, did uh, what what just came out that's too long ago. What do you mean? What what kingdom hearts related thing just came out
The 2.5 the the fucking hd remixes was hd remasters. Were the people working on those the people working on three? No idea
okay
I know it was their port team that does the you know did the ff10 remaster kind of stuff to my knowledge
Okay, I was they have a whole group. I thought it was I thought it was new content
That does like I thought there was a new content being put in the remasters of like, you know
What was it? It was 10 first and now it's then it was the kingdom hearts games and now it's 12
Yeah, all the 12 is the one right 2.8. Um
Yeah, all I see is we don't know what we're doing numera can't make a game go ever
Until we take him off in five years
And put somebody else on and this this this news came right out after after that fucking ff15 survey came in
You see that thing?
Well, you load up ff15 and it says hey
What stuff would you like us to put into the game next?
And it's got like eight different story things that should all have been in the game in the first place like hey
What's up with lunafrea or the backstory of ardent or stuff like that question here hypothetical
How would you feel about a square enix that uh
Kind of disappeared into the shadows like blizzard did
That only shows up every couple years and goes here's a game. They should do that
It's it's the the whole I get the overwhelming impression
That the only reason they announced these things so early is so they have something to actually tell people they're working on
Because other otherwise
Yeah, well you do it actually go like four or five years with
Will announce things when we're ready, especially when you have investors that are sitting around going like okay
So you're telling me to sit tight for
How many months but like four years, you know
Ios like just put out idos games in the meantime while you they let go of your shirt put up put over
Well, yeah, yeah, you know what I mean like dragon quest ios square owns
idos and idos it was said
Yeah
And each of these studios is being treated as an individual studio with different releases
But but I just mean squares main team as a whole I I definitely feel like it would benefit from just like yeah, just
Just disappear and then come in drop a thing and then disappear again
Because I feel like um
The more news about these things like the more upset people get well
Here's the thing right and announcing something early. It turns a huge hype bomb into into sour grapes
So think about this right and it sucks because
You then have to like hit it somewhere in the middle because then you go from sour grapes to here's a hype trailer
And now it's out and then everyone kind of goes back to zero when they could have rid it out from
You know how I feel about the ff7 remake now
I feel about it the same way that I feel about versus 13
I feel the same way about it that I feel about beyond good and evil too
In which I don't trust that it's even being fucking made anymore
Right or if it is they're gonna get two years in and go
Oh, we have to throw it all out because we were too slow or whatever in your perception
Uh
Assuming that a release date stays the same and you're too mad. Did they ever what even imply or they stay?
No, they just said 2018 is the soonest you'll ever
Consider that's all they said and this is going to still be episodic
Assuming that yes, it will exactly assuming that things are always going to be coming out on the exact same thing
Okay, so the it's say the release date 2019 whether they tell us or not it doesn't matter
How soon do you personally want to know about it eight to ten months beforehand like every other fucking game?
Yeah, like a year max. Mm-hmm. Okay out before the release day because and and it's it's doubly vital for Square Enix
Because I no longer even trust that those games are going to come out at all for
I'm of the opinion and this is kind of a weird way to look at it, but versus 13 never came out
because
And if you and if you play all the way through 15, you can see where there are pieces of
In the same sense that rising never came out exactly. Yeah, that that's exactly how I mean it. Yeah
and
Like ff7 remake is episodic like
All I wanted was new models and textures on the old shit
Has that's all I ever fucking wanted has there ever been a game that was not announced too early
But was leaked early and then it then you had to kind of like wait for a long ass time before
Confirmation and then it didn't come out or come out and then it well it led to a similar frustration. Yeah tighten
Yeah, yeah
And then tighten didn't happen. Yeah, that's true
That's a big one and you got overwatch in it, but like overwatch is not tighten overwatch is not tighten
But it's pretty fucking good. Yeah, but how how long
That was how long was tighten a word decade for two years at least to me to me
It was it got leaked out during like the fucking burning crusade expansion. It was it was crazy
Like I don't want that that sucks that makes my excitement invert itself now
Where I look at every piece of news of uh every piece of news. That's not like here's
It's been two years. We should be watching the launch trailer for that fucking thing right now if it's episodic
That's a three max, but we should be watching gameplay demos of like hey
Hey, I'm a producer from such and such. Here's how
Right
When they come out like well, here's the other thing too is like
Why is even why even announce this story?
Really, uh because when they came out and they did announce it and everyone went nuts and then they went
Okay, but really though. Don't even think about this. Just stop thinking about it. That's why it's because they don't want
the I guess the only reason to announce this to say hey
You might be assuming that uh, we're gonna be releasing this soon, but we're super not
I don't think it's probably I don't think it's it's
Gonna hurt you if you announce it tell everybody not to think about it, but then
Just stay quiet until it's actually ready. Yeah, you know
I say like go for it if you must and like maybe let your investors know what's going on if you have to
Maybe but don't actually do this thing where you now have the opportunity to get bummed out by
Whatever the fuck is coming out about this, you know
Anyway, it's bummed anyone trying to break in someone trying to break in here. I don't know. Okay. All right
I got a mic stand nearby. We literally have no reason. That's okay. All right. That's fine
ever
The only person that would have knocked the only person that would ever
Ever visit is the landlord of the building and he always calls us
Yeah, so why would anyone be knocking on our fucking door? I'm scared
I'm the closest to the door. I'll be the first to die. Oh, yeah, you should be I can flip this over and
Have a little shield. It's not gonna stop it if anyone's got a like bullets or anything
Okay, then come on at the very least it'll it'll put you in the danger zone
I should have brought one of my axes and chances are I'm kind of confused that one of them isn't around
Chances are dangerous that if someone breaks in here and they need to take someone out and they take you out
They'll feel satisfied and then they'll be like, yeah, I'm gonna die like really hard and awesome
Like good for murder like oh that guy really screamed and shit his pants really good
I enjoyed this
That'll do me. That'll do me. That was satisfying. Yeah
I got it all out of my system. How would you rate being satisfied with this murder? Would you say you were very satisfied?
Just hit the little button on your way out the door. Yeah, you're very satisfied with this pants. Shit
Oh, man, so speaking of being satisfied with pants. Shit's
How about oh man the mon hunt? Yeah
Yeah, I'm so glad you actually put this in here. So um now now would you say
Before we even talk about this monster hunter xx nintendo switch version
So the the the name i'm seeing thrown around is double monster hunter xx s
Okay
Oh, right. Just throw more on it. Would you agree with the statement that there were too many monster hunter games on 3ds?
Yes
Okay, this is one of limon eyes biggest like gripes. It's just like three
the four
uh four g it was uh
Well, are you going japan or xx out here?
Well, I guess I mean for talking so let's go for all of them. Yeah, let's let's say it's three three g
four four g
x
Double x that's six. Yeah, that's
ridiculous over the course of
Six years. I want to say maybe how long the pretty much is it annualized? Uh, no, but okay, so the three three g
No three did not come out on the 3ds only 3g because three was on the the wheat. Okay, so 3g came out
Right as like nearly like I want to say four or five months after the 3ds came out
Okay, so monster hunter has been on the 3ds for pretty much the whole lifespan of it and it's been frustrating from day one
Because I'm pretty sure people listen all episodes of podcasts and you hear me and Liam talk about this the game straight up looks better on the psp
Like it was a downgrade back in 2007
Right. Oh, no, what we're not we're 2017. What 2010 or 2011, right? It was a downgrade right away
And we it took all these years to get the nub
Right and now it's for finally at the point where
Like I learned this game on the we you
That's my first game in this series on the we where I had two analog sticks. Okay, and it took me this fucking long
To get a second analog stick back
um
So it's not annualized, but there's never been more than two years with that one
No, because they release the g versions which are the expansion. Yeah, okay variants
So, uh, yeah more information coming on may 27th says the article, but monster hunter, uh double cross
Is uh, this is the one that you saw that strider article. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and I would assume that
This is gonna get dropped with all the dlc included
Over time they what the way they do it is that um, the the dlc gets released every week for free
Like every week there's some new thing
So like remember when they did the you may have remembered like the daunte like palico costume ads for for you or whatever
Or it's like you can dress your guy your cat up like they did like every cat prom brand
Like some of those took a year to come out
Hmm
And here's the fun part, but they're already available on on 3ds. Yeah, well
Well xx is not out on 3ds yet. Oh shit. Okay. I don't wait is it
Because I thought the way they thought that this was already out and that those packs would then be included
Well, the the goofy thing is that they already exist when they when they when they localized it the same schedule applied
So you could tell like okay. Well in the eighth week japan got this one
So i'm not sure how that's gonna work that being said those dlc things are mostly trivial
Occasionally they'll add like a challenge monster or a new type of monster that it was unaware
xx is
It's like the marvel of this series like it's all sorts of mash-up shit
Uh, the goofiest thing and the thing that so I screamed when I saw this I literally screamed
Similar to liam's reaction with neuro automata. Uh-huh. Um, and just like
Ah
um
and
There's one thing about it that actually
Genuinely concerns me and it's a great feature and everyone should be happy
But it like it makes me cynical inside and it's the fact that the 3ds players can play with the switch players
Uh with no camera nub or will will will okay. Is there any difference between what you can do? No
It's no difference. There's no feature difference. It is a straight port
And you look at that switch trailer and it's like you can see the ps2 models
You can see which which monsters came from the psp at a glance
Right, you can go. Oh, that's the psp model still are there any touchscreen controls or anything like that?
There are but because the the extra controls on the switch like the the triggers
Yeah, you there is there they're going to have like that you can see in a screenshot
Basically, there's super moves that you would hit the the touchscreen for you can see in the trailer that there's uh
Like a hold r and then just hit a face button to toggle it kind of thing you actually yeah
You actually can't do everything. Oh, no, there's no functional difference whatsoever and switch has such screen anyway
Yeah, no, that's um, I was thinking yeah, but it makes me like deep deep deep freaked out in my heart
Because one of the things for monster hunter that people have been frustrated with for
Christ it's two monster hunter two
So they've never improved the model significantly ever they've never improved the graphics ever
It always has looked like shit. We're always working on ps2 models. Yeah, if you look at that trailer, will you you're going to see
1080p ps2 models
right
and
The animations are identical and for some reason for sometimes has gameplay sometimes that's you know old
And seeing that this has they're they're making a big deal to cross play with the 3ds
I'm genuinely worried
That the monster hunter 5 or monster hunter whatever right is going to be 3ds switch
games
Even for the next couple years because the 3ds install base is so large
Right. Hmm. I mean like I you can you can you fault capcom for wanting to make that money? They have not spent
any money on that shit in like
12 years
I can't then the problem is that people need to stop buying them. No, it's so good because
There's no reason because because they could no one they could throw they could throw a ton of money and make it a switch exclusive
or
Like like proper next-gen game
But like yeah, there's a lot of people in Japan still spending money on these things on 3ds
Tired of how shitty like Plesioth looks and fucking
Gravios and guys like that. Are they are they are are the models of the monsters not getting like touched up or they are
Occasionally some of them get touched up
Some of them pretty much like in the 3ds game. They brought back and for you
They brought back a bunch of monsters that hadn't been around since like the second one and you can tell
Hmm
How much of a of a of a crazy job would it be like to actually do all of that over a lot?
They've built up a lot. Would it be like would it be like the demons in in smt? Yes. Okay a catalog of
If you're taught like there's some guys they brought back like there's a giant one
That's called lao shang long that has actually been completely remodeled because it would it would look ancient at this point
Yeah, but we're talking like
Let's say like 80 to 100 large scale like enemy types that have like, you know
hundreds of animations
Right like the these are these are boss fights in any other game
And to completely redo them you're looking at a situation where that people would also worry about say hey, here's monster enter 5
There are 32
Monsters in this one right the fighting game problem. Uh, yeah, it is exactly the fighting game problem
Yeah, and xx where it's just grabbing stuff from all over that list is as high as it's ever gonna get
I think it's approaching 100
but
Like i'm just
Even now when I finally got the thing I wanted I can't escape the stink of the 3ds
It's the one thing that just taints it now. What is cool?
Well, it's it's it's a it's a it's a problem of the success of the series like now
I might be overly cynical because there is actually a really good. No
There is a really good reason for that cross play to exist because xx is the expansion kind of thing for
generations or cross
You can transfer your save file
That's from the old game to the new one and you'll keep all your stuff
Yeah, and watch there be like an equal if not greater install base
Of 3ds players when this comes out when you go online
Well switches. I hopefully I hope oh man watch that happen
Like when you jump online, tell me what you what you see because i'm sure it'll tell you what console they're on
I don't think it even would because there's no functional difference
But but I mean but like PS like when you play like street fighter like they tell you what yeah, but there's no point
There's no fucking voice chat. I wonder okay
If they do if they do it'd be interesting to see like it would like are there actually more people
Still just playing the 3ds. Oh surely then there are like in japan. Yeah
But out here who knows
I'm excited to
Get that finally cool finally it also looks like you can play
the port the docked
Switch version with your 3ds. I don't know what those arrows mean, but there's console arrows of a 3ds
Pointing to a switch dock and it's unclear exactly what they're trying to say
So what's a bummer for the cross play stuff is that I saw people
Going through articles and that the cross play between the two platforms is online only you can't have your 3ds connect to this
Yeah, you say you had a 3ds and I had the switch. We can't just play together locally. We'd have to I wouldn't expect that
I would that's a bummer considering the the kind of portability this has
Uh, I'm very excited. They showed a new form like
Here's another series that everything I say you guys don't know, but it's like they showed a new form of diabolos
Yeah, I should check out monster hunter. The uh, the logo reminds me of fucking patchy slot
Oh
Over the top it's starting to become uses the same like because it's x but like the second x is like exploding like, uh
It's it's um, if you've ever seen the the devil may cry patchy slot logo. It's doing shit like that
Uh, anyway, it's actually overly hype
Like there's too many graphics. There's too many explosions. There's too much lens flares. That's how you know
It's a patchy slot. It's trying to make it exciting the way japan likes it. Yeah, to be honest, but uh
Anyway, uh, so yeah, that's monhorn. Yay
um
I hope that game runs. Okay. The fucking wii version of uh, three you like ran pretty poorly
was not good
And like there's there was no reason for that game to run poorly
Yeah, so may 27th in japan. Cool. So, um, the one extra thing about that is that usually the uh,
American or english version of those is really delayed like extremely extremely delayed compared to
Uh, the japanese version because they have tons of text
They have like, you know, uh, like, you know persona levels of text that much there's so much
There are so much dialogue
There are so many things to write. It's it's crazy
but
Uh, I do in fact believe that the 3ds version is out like now or soonish, right and maybe even in a few days
that
The switch version may be like close behind the japanese version because they would already have started to work on localization
So in in japan it's august. Hopefully we can get it before the end of the year
That would that would be nice
cool
Other news
Is it good news? Yeah, this is radical news. I fucking i'm a fan of this shit
uh
Check out
The new genji skin named sentai
This is the overwatch anniversary edition skin for genji and he basically gets turned into a sentai slash camera writers
Literally names. He's still he's just a toku. You mean a power ranger. He's just he's a toku. You mean sabon's power rangers
Oh god, the number one comments is like, hey, they gave him a power ranger skin
And then they're sentai nerds screaming at those people. I wonder if fucking sabon's greasy fingers
Good try to get a piece of the pie. The problem is that blizzard is a company a thousand times bigger than sabon
Yeah, so he's not gonna he's not gonna gut them like a fish
as they say
Fucking asshole like but you know, he tried you know, he's looking at it if someone someone
Yeah, he smells some shekels. He wants to come in and see if he can fucking get in on them
That asshole, but either way it's very cool that uh, sorry I dressed up like a toothbrush
And he's doing like his cool little crazy like a dance
That's not quite a sentai pose because he's almost doing more like michael jackson moves
Well, well lucio has like straight up michael jackson with his costume. Yes
um, yeah this overwatch uh anniversary shit looks pretty dope and uh, I forgot to say I played I played a
Good amount of it this week. I got I got a couple skins didn't get that one
Thankfully didn't get zarya's awful awful skin. Um, I did get uh faras, which I enjoy. I think there's a conspiracy
I think I love like I said it on I said it in a tweet the other day
But I I would rather be famous for writing the tweet that some some websites have picked up saying
Fans are not happy for and many anniversary skins. I just
Maybe one day my children's children's children will get a decent zarya skin
I feel like she might internally be like the dan hibiki, but we just didn't know about it
You know what I think then why is she not the dan hibiki in the other game that she's in?
Yeah, it I don't all of her skins in that game are awesome. I think I think the overwatch team
Literally doesn't understand why people like this character like I think they
They they're like oh, they want they want this right and like there's so much fan out
There's so much like, you know stuff from overwatch from fans that like these characters and everyone like I'm easily going to say this
I'm confident saying that everyone except Zarya has like one skin that I think like exemplifies
A different version of white like like how many symmetric skins are there where she's like, you know
A cool goddess or or or or the the new one the anniversary is just it's it's amazing
Like soldier 76 has skins and there's like less going on with him
So here's the thing Zarya Zarya's uh olympic costume is cool. It's okay
I like it. I like her olympic costume a lot. It's terrible
I think it's just it's nice to see like a that version and I can see that being like
Exemplifying like her as a lifter, you know like a russian power lifter
I get that that's where it stopped but the problem with the the olympic skins that everyone got
Basically the very similar skins to to everybody else. I did get one
But like why no as cool as ryan art is why is ryan heart got like a thousand awesome costumes
And some for no events whatsoever
Also, I typed in Zarya anniversary
And right here
Right there on the results is matt's tweet
Hopefully one day my children will get a decent zarya skin
And look right under there. There's another fan artist that made this awesome fucking zarya skin where she's a construction worker
I saw one that she had longer hair. It's just a black suit and look cool. Like I don't get it
Yeah, uh, I still I the tweet I shot at blizzard was it's not too late to change it
And basically give her a rosy the riveter outfit. That's what lana goes on and on about
How good which is kind of like what this fan art is similar to how good is diva's 1950s?
Like skin where she has fantastic. It's amazing fantastic
You know and like zarya's new skin is like i'm a generic robot thing for a person that hates robots
It's uh that fucking cyber demons. No, you know what it reminds me
It reminds me more of those those costumes that the um, the avengers wore temporarily with the yellow visors kind of
Like her valhalla like
Valkyrie whatever thing in hots is like just put that in it. Just put that in a cyber demon ones right there
The cyber demon's cool. Like don't get me wrong. But again, I don't think it fits the character in terms of what are
Motivated. Yeah, but cool costume sure even but what I mean is even if it's got the wrong focus
Yeah, that one looks better. You're right anniversary one. Yeah, you're right. Like it's what is going on man. I don't know just fix it
Just fix it. Oh that's that image. I put my face on we can fix it
please
anyway
So, um, amen
Yeah, but hey genji's dope. Yeah. Hey shocker everyone. It sucks that I don't play genji and I don't you're not a pro genji
I'm not a pro genji and I his play style is not for me
Um, that's a pro genji because I kind of there's something about it where I ah whatever like just the the fact that it's like
I don't like the the his ninja star. No, I don't like it. It's just not it doesn't work for me at all
You know, but he looks awesome and he has a defensive move. He does that's that's the best. It's the best. It's super good. Yeah
um
Anyway, um
So god is dead. Well, is he yeah, how can you say god is dead in a world where we have?
uh
mario plus rabbits
kingdom battle that that further proves that how can you how can you how can you say that in a world?
That that shot of the rabbit dressed up like peach taking a selfie is vile
It's amazing. It's the best and I people photoshopping it on in front of divas exploding exploding mecca. Yeah is pretty great
um
Here we are
rabbits still successful still still going
You might as well be uvi uvi soft branded minions
Well, that's that's not might as yeah, that is in fact very much what they are
I I and someone made a minion that had uh, or like rabbit ears and uh
Well, and what was it like a couple other things just smashed together and it was just like the ultimate mascot market ability market more back
marketability
Fucking uh, uh toy. I talked about a bit on this on twitter. It's like am I happy rabbits are in it? No, not really
But it's a weird isometric strategy
Action game made by ubi soft paris. It is all give that a go
It is a mario rpg and at the end of the day it probably might be fun. So
Turn-based combat. Oh, no, they've made a
35% exploration
Again ubi soft is making this nintendo is not the one the developer weapons based
um
With eight characters
As some people go like well, they should put rayman in it. I'm like
No child
Knows who the fuck rayman is. This is clearly
Trying to focus on that. Uh, well well to be fair though legends and um
The other one. Yeah, they were huge sales disasters
I mean, but I mean like it's it's ray rayman
But I just mean rayman has existed in in like
Game space in the last couple years. Yes. Yes. Yes, you know, but it's also co-op
So co-op rpg, you know, like you know what I'd rather you know
I'd rather that like that still keeps the rabbits in there or whatever if you if you must it's like
I wouldn't mind it like a silly little
Nintendo cross ubi soft thing put etio in there put rayman put anybody that kind of fits like some type of fantasy
Ish thing like maybe fucking sandfish or probably not
But like at least characters you can say have transported like fucking etio's and soul caliber
What about like cocaine master from wildlands? I think cocaine master would be good. Yeah, how about uh,
How about some people from call of Juarez the cartel since that was an ubi soft game very good
Very good. Uh, I'm just saying that like if you're gonna mix and match things and it's this weird crossover
It's like go like why why dead sec why exclusively on the rabbits
The weirdest thing about this announcement is how it came out
Via a series of slides that look as if they're made for I have to
Internal presentation. You know what this is fucking Nintendo barely never almost leaks anything. This is a huge ubi soft
Fuck up. Yeah, I think it leaks all the time. Was this was this a leak? Yeah
Yeah, this is still not formally announced. That's why we're looking at slides a big. Yeah, okay. Never mind and that explains perfectly
Yeah, okay, they're trying to get this out the door before if a vendy buys because the terminology on the slides talking about the game are like
Very much like trying to pitch it
You know, yeah, and you can see this being like prepared for a nintendo pitch
This was before this leak. This game was rumored even before like months before
Yeah, like no one's going to announce their timeline about surprise an announcement convince media gamers that go big for launch
So anyway, yeah
Um, hey man, there's gonna be a mario rpg
Like game on switch coming soon. That's that's fine to me. This is not a mario rpg game. This is a fucking rabbits crossover game
It's a mario
It's an rpg. What are you?
This is an rpg. Yeah, I
I don't know where you are, but wow
You keep saying it, but I don't see anything in it. Okay, there's no screenshots of I understand you checked out super hard
So just there's a top-down strategy rpg
It is a strategy rpg and it is that's not a mario rpg mario rpg is a turn base
Okay, like their turn base side scroller. All right, it's like but a mario rpg is like a kind of genre. I know
I know I know I'm aware. It's it's about hitting the button when mario jumps. I'm aware
I'm aware
Ubisoft's one of the many many snow-based pun engines that the that exist in the fucking world
It's just you know going on the line that says games presented as an rpg that makes his exploration with turn-based combat
Uh
Wouldn't it be goopy if it ends up that this game didn't get picked up
That would be goofy
Because it is weirdly that you're right that it seems like a pitch that are just screenshots
Well, if that's what this that's what this leak was. I know yeah
Like it's like we pitched it and they turned this town and this game doesn't exist
Nintendo pitched it and we turned it. Yeah rabbits are too valuable
We can't have the mario franchise sully the rabid universe
There was one rabid game I really enjoyed on the Wii which is the one where they're just in a shopping cart
And they just have to make a rocket ship filled with garbage. Yeah, and that was just that was literally made by um
Uh creator of uh rayman. That's appropriate make a lot of style
And it was just a fun little action game where you just zipped around and did silly things. It was pretty good
It's the best rabid game I ever played
Friday the 13th
Apparently it's too popular. I still can't play
I tried this morning. So
The that's a stupid problem. Friday the 13th game is having massive server issues and is it just too much?
Like too many people they were expecting based on their Kickstarter estimates that they would have 30 000 players
They had 75 000 on the first day
That's more because more people bought the game like just normally than they're yeah
No, your server infrastructure would die mmo's have this problem. Yeah, uh blizzard has this problem sometimes
Depending on the game relays they just I we didn't we thought we thought we could do it, but we can't um
So I talked about this a bunch on twitter, but yeah, basically it's just like people can't
Boot up the game and that happened to me boot it. Is it online only it's online only
Ah, okay, that makes it has a single player component
But it's coming later in the summer which I think in hindsight they probably should have delayed the game
So that if this did happen you could boot it you can at least play something and get the basics of the game
I can't there's no all right. So last night
Um, I got two matches of this across three different skews
I got one match on steam one match on ps4 that disconnected
I've never been able to boot up the xbox one version and every other subsequent version still also doesn't work
um
So when you boot it up what happens that you see the splash screen the load screen and then I'll say logging you in
Yeah, okay, then I'll say database failure
And that's the main thing that everyone says they there's now photo shops of the game in the font
And it says database failure in the game
Whatever the fail message is inevitably becomes the mean even japan does that
People latch on to that really hard says database failure and like database failure is because we don't have we don't have enough
Shit to make this go and we're really sorry we're working on this 24 7
People that are able to get to get into games and there they have
They'll play they'll play matches. They'll get lots of matches
They'll get xp because they're because they're in they'll they'll level up their jason because you can there's multiple different jasons
You you gain more kills more animations database failure will also result in all your progress being wiped
So even if you do get to play
This will happen and they're just and you you got to sit and hammer the button
Yeah, so last night when I tried to log in the xbox one version and I was playing stream this on sunday
And I was like I can't get any consistent game
So I'm not and I don't want to would you say that it could you don't want to do a stream?
If you sitting there looking at the fucking log like dsp does apparently it just doesn't play a game
For two hours. That's a good gimmick
Uh, I wasn't able to log in I'll say database failure and this morning they said hey
We've been working like I've been seeing these developers
Every single second talking to every single message much better than fucking no man's sky of like a year of silence
Yeah
But they're like we haven't slept we've okay. We have this working now
I was able to go into the xbox one version today before I came over
I get into the game and I'm like all the modes are now like
A thing I can click on and I searched for a game slow couldn't find just went to quick match
And people say if you do this you do that you open up a private thing it can work
But I just went to quick match just to test it couldn't get into I can imagine an image of a guy on twitter
Right. He's on his phone. He's doing boop boop boop and he looks over he goes. Hey jimmy
How's it going and it's a man with a fire extinguisher literally like closing down literal servers that are on fires
We're making progress
Uh, so so there there's
There's there's one other thing is that like the people that do play it that this is the most fun
Ever like if you do good if you do manage to get in if you get in it's so tense if you're playing with a group
It's these fun matches that go on for a while
And like people still trying to figure out how what is the average length of a match?
It's like 10 minutes or something like it's because there's it's up to eight people versus jason. Thank you
okay, um
So it's up to to to for for eight people against one
Why log horizon cal? Oh, yeah. What's your problem? Continue. Anyway, keep going. Um, but that was seriously
There's something I want to talk about where I I went onto the facebook messages because they can't go on twitter and tell you
All the fixes that they're making they say here's the facebook thing where it lists every single problem that we're having
And what we're doing to fix it
so i'm looking at some of these comments and then
What i've noticed is that horror fans horror movie fans that don't play games
Don't care about games don't care how hard it is are just like here are my death threats
To you because you stole my money. I don't understand why it doesn't work
I know that you stole my money
And here are the here
Here's a very tidy list of the people in your family
I would like to be killed because you've stolen my money
And I'd say this is like 20 of all the comments and there's like a thousand comments on this fucking change
That's like 200 comments. That's a lot
I'd say like 30 of them are people that are being really negative and being like fuck you
This should be working by now blah blah blah blah blah
And the developers are never they're they're being a little like okay. Look we're trying really hard none of us
We're a 12 man team
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and just I just read I just
tapped out a watch every audience has to
Go through that thing because I've never been part of an online only game where it didn't work day one
Like I didn't buy diablo 3. I I didn't you know these games
But those who are getting in are having the time of their lives
And then there's still problems other like uh, it's you know, because the the database is just don't make things laggy and shitty or whatever
MMO players tend to act badly. Yeah, so when they're when they're their other life
Goes down. Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. They really they really should fix the database
database database
Wow
Wow. Wow. Wow a couple people have you ever listened to it?
And because because I mean if you're telling me that they had
Set up a whole life in the database. Yes, and then that life was taken away from them
They would be very upset very upset about the database. Wow
Uh, here's another fun. Here's another fun fact that I paid a bit extra to get special dlc
Which is that hell jason costume where he looks like he's fucking scorpion and shit and like uh more clothes for your
Your characters blah blah blah like little minor things and they're like are also these codes don't work for anybody right now
We're working on that too
So if you do get in games
None of that will work as well. It's it's a it's a huge huge. I I really love hyper light drifter
But the way that the codes for the pre-order stuff like in-game stuff came out like I never even wear
I never got it to work correctly
Really that's crazy and I went back and forth with humble
Humble bundle over and over and it was just a mess
Jim's certainly put out a video of him not playing this game. That's a good video because he can can't can't get it
And he's like this sucks. I was looking forward to this but like fuck this like I can't believe it
So I saw the devs on twitter quote
Jim's like twitter feed of it him like here's this video of me unhappily playing this or unhappily not playing it
I just saw this so they they just wrote underneath
This is absolutely heartbreaking to watch. We've worked so hard, but we're really sorry
We're trying our best to get this working
But I'm like like you're a dev you put in like two years of working or something
You see people not even able to play your thing
but when a game is online and
It's not on a console where the servers are handled and taken care of as a part of
You know or or it's not it's not peer-to-peer there needs to be a singular database that you connect to
This is a very known problem that like you scope out in advance
Yeah, because you're paying for your own servers. You're doing it yourself. You're doing the heavy lifting and they're like
Is it gonna be enough? Are you sure?
Are you super sure you did all the money we add left there like they're saying to server load because we're
We also kickstarted money to develop the game also
There's something yeah, and I guess that's the other problem too is there's something very very important that you do
Uh
Like nice and early and then you do it again right before the end and it's called a stress test. They did
And an online stress test beta like three months ago
Yeah, I suppose another one right before not no, okay, not a public stress test
You do an internal stress test where you spoof
It but what in a public one be way more active it would be well
It'd be reflective if your kickstarter backers are gonna jump in on it
What not I was able to get into that that thing certainly certainly but but to really push it to the maximum
I need to know what happens when a hundred thousand connections hit this and you and you have and you have your
Oh, so you fake it exactly and you have your net admin basically
Put it through the ringer for a couple days
Internally and see what happens because it will everything will hit a point of just like collapsing
But you want to see how far you can push it and I guess if they didn't have the money for that
Or if they didn't have the ability just to get that type of thing going then they couldn't have foreseen the problem one thing
I could kind of size 2020 no matter what I think that if this game is as popular as it is where it's like almost like
75,000 people on day one like that's a lot
Is that maybe yeah, you should have probably had a fucking single player that people can play wall
And people wanted that yeah, and and it's coming
And they're like making this kind of problem because because people will still be pissed off like there's no fucking punisher game
What where it was online only as well?
No, it wasn't online only it you could play as you we
We it was a single player thing, but it was just in a deathmatch mode
But you didn't have to be online to do that
But if you want to do any of the multiplayer stuff and unlock that shit. Yes, that that thing was online. No, it's just
This is worse
I would say if you're fucking making a kickstarter game or anything that's that's that's very indie
Do not make a fucking online only game, especially if you have a franchise that's or some type of
Or just or don't like I'm like I even don't do it. It's just like if you're gonna do it
Fucking don't put all your eggs into this. Yeah. Yeah, I never know have an offline training even you know what I mean
That's where I'm like clearly know a lot about this from the testing and dev side
But since I've been playing MMOs for quite a while like I know I've touched a bunch of them over the years
And seeing this kind of failure and I I have been there for many of these specific failures
and the
Basic response that you get is that you do your stress test, right?
And your stress test basically informs
The range that you should be expecting, right?
And the problem is and blizzard is particularly guilty of this is that you look at okay
We're gonna have literally 10 million people hit these this fucking thing tomorrow, right?
But the day after it'll be 2 million. So how much do we want to spend?
so that first hump
Is problem-free because that scales like it's exponentially more expensive
You all you always have to account for the possibility of scaling and and this this
situation seems like a problem in which this game is
It seems like it's a good game, but it also has the bonus hook of being associated with a highly successful horror property
That's bringing in people that could not have been expected
Right like it's you described almost tripling their initial estimates, right?
And if it had done well, it would have gone to more than triple, right?
That's probably outside of even their most generous
ideals of both scalability and like
The the high end of what they expected
Like I am very much in the boat like this is totally on them. They this shouldn't be happening
But this is the kind of thing that you usually it's fucked up for the first day and it's really fucked up for the second day
I like how the second day. It's really fucked up. Well, yeah
No, because the second day is when they start flipping switches and shit
But what should have happened, right? I mean again hindsight is our day
It starts to kind of smooth out even if they didn't have the resources to handle it, right?
What you would have gotten in an ideal scenario is again, they do their internal stress taste
They get it's basically a controlled DDoS. Yeah, right and you hammer it and then they go. Oh, fuck
This is awful and then the game doesn't laid
And then the game gets delayed and then they go
This is not coming out until we solve this and so you have that issue
So that the the people that are coming and going like I don't know what a kickstarter or video games are but fuck you
I like jason. So what's a video games? Here's my death threat to you now. This is the only way I communicate displeasure
Here is my ordered list
Of of the family members. I want to anyway step one your dog. They had
12,000 backers on their Kickstarter. So they accounted for that and said let's
expect
Double that around 30,000
And then it's like no that was a they gave it. They told they they wrote that in an update
No, I'm just I'm just looking at it right now. We're gonna start a thing. They had 12,000
They did say we we assumed we'd get around 30,000 on day one
And it's like no, you got 75 that so 75,000 people down
Bought their game when only 12,000 backed it. Yeah
So that that for that's rare
I'm not sure if this has happened before in kickstarter with a big like an online game
Well, they're very there are very few big online or they're very few
Online only kickstarter games that have this kind of component
It's the first large scale one that I can think of if there is I don't
It exists as a as a
It exists as a as a warning of like listen if you have limited funding
This is a problem that can be very very difficult to solve of them that it funded
Like you can't
There's a blizzard could just make this problem go away square could just make this problem go away
Uh, uh, you know green in that can Microsoft or nintendo could make this problem go away
But and if they that's the thing indie developer
Yeah, if you pick a console you take a hit on your submission cost you take a hit on your qa cost
You but then you don't worry about server costs
And your game that's online only they're publishing it. Yeah, or no, no, no, no, no
I don't know. I mean I mean simply putting it out
Yeah, right if you're putting out a game on playstation
And you're and it has online play it's using psn
Yeah, but when you when you submit to those particularly for your kickstarter pitch
It's less like
Enticing than say just putting it out on steam originally because this is on all those cars. There's on both consoles and pc
Oh, it is. Oh, yeah, he's talked about ps4 and xbox one. Yeah, yeah
Okay
Now the problem is the database that you connect to that isn't the peer-to-peer matchmaking is the thing that's dying
That's there's one singular thing that's dying here and that's always going to be on their end
Their own personal one. Okay, and they've been saying stuff like we're talking to microsoft
I see some switches for us to hopefully help out, but it's not yeah, they can't no no
They can't save you then no, that's that's the that's the external server they're paying for because because um, um, so for example, um
Some of the some of the the stuff that we did for example like like tomb raider would have like online and whatnot
But before any of that. Yeah, well
Yeah, I worked on I know
But were you a voice in it?
I might still be in it. I am but uh
When you're not but but like all that shit aside
Before that you had to connect to squaring x members. Yes
And that was the only part of the game that went to an external database or connected to a third-party server
Everything else was not connected at all and just the fact that that little
Mode was in there completely changed the scope of online testing
You know and it like
Really really ramped up the costs as well. Oh, yeah
Fuck that's that's just a really well
I wish them the best of luck
But this does not seem like the kind of problem that'll be solved by tomorrow
No, and like, you know, I wanted to stream it again and try to give it a go
But it's like it's going to probably be like a month
This is going to be a weird problem in which they might want to cancel the game for now and delay it
The only thing I can honestly say that's like good about this is there's no shortage of games to play right now
So it's like if this was released in a lazy summer in 2002 dead by
You know like what am I dead by daylight gets another few weeks to live
Yeah, I guess so because this I think is a blunt dead by daylight out of the water in terms of maybe sales
I don't know but uh, yeah, no, okay. I'm I'm really bummed about it
But at the same time it's like I can't be too angry because it's like I really I everything I read the devs is like
They they accounted for a lot of shit. It's just
Okay, so hot off hot off the presses big hots
Press and fix the problems. Wait, why is there? Let's let's see if we can find out more information straight up. Oh, we've apparently right now
friday the 13th game
Let's get to their say let's get to their twitter. Maybe that'll have the maybe after the podcast
I'll log into the steam version here. I just to see if it okay, so latest from their twitter
Says 0.05 percent of players are still seeing the database login. That's across three platforms
These give you that accounts we're looking into it
That's the thing of for more information on what we fix and what is next
That's the thing of people not even be able to log into the main menu
Okay, so that might be fixed and that's what I said this morning
I was able to get past that point, but I couldn't find a game
Okay, like I was I was sitting there for 30 minutes
As of as of the beginning of this podcast they said they fixed it
Which is three hours ago and then as of one hour ago
Uh, they're yeah, they're down to less than one percent of players. Yeah. Hey, congrats. Good stuff
So that's good that that the error that was stopping well from even so my stand activated once again
And the game fixed itself immediately lie again again. I think you might not still be able to play it
But there's
Like they're saying they're saying they're working on it right now
The the database failure thing that just pops up as soon as you enter the main menu and locks all
Options from even being selected that seems to be the error that's fixed right now
And now is the thing of like actually going in and seeing if you can
Connect to a game and even play it at that point. Okay, there's two like fucking hills to cross here
Scale whatever
Let's talk about far cry. Let's talk about far cry five
I'm gonna play this far cry. Hell. Yeah, I'm gonna play this far cry
Look at it
Joseph seed
charismatic leader of the eden's gate cult eden's gate that has to have been taken
It sounds so legit and real because
I want to say come there must was what was the fucking cult that existed is even something
No, no, I was heaven's gate. Heaven's gate. Heaven's gate. Heaven's gate was the real cult hell's gate. Hell's gate
So
Oh, man
You dead. Oh
Damn, I got stomach. You'll enter in heaven's gate. February 27th of 2018
We're gonna get a game far cry five set in montana and
You're taking out a cult in hope country
There's you there's county. Sorry. Sorry. Uh, there's the resistance
and
You're just yeah living through
That americana life. So you're talking about who is going to be the character of far cry five
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It has to be this main path. It's joseph c joseph c. Yeah, I'm thinking I am your father
That's that's an easy like I I've been playing outlast two which literally has this guy
And that but he but he looks like a
Villain from re4. So it's a bit more grotesque than this guy
But it's such an easy villain
It's so easy to be charismatic because the entire point of being a crazy fucking cult guy
Is that you have to be charismatic as fuck. You can't be a landstorm. No
You've got to be d.o. You have to have you have to be natural 20. I absolutely love
I I absolutely adore like his Montana's is very pretty frontier like state and beautiful wilderness
But then the trailer cuts to a shot of like an empty baseball field
Like a little league baseball field and there's this weird
Familiarity with that that it reminds me of one modern warfare. Uh took a lot of the fighting to the states
Yeah, I remember there was that one stage that was literally in um the fucking little mini mart fucking the whataburger or whatever the
Now I will say that I feel some of this experience. At least some of it was had in um, uh
Uh bioshock infinite
Where you're going through a very similar cult of americana. I disagree entirely
Bioshock infinite takes place in a fucking fantasy universe
But that's why I say that's why I said partially because the main thing that sets it apart
Of course besides being a flying city in the sky
Is the fact that the time frame you're gonna be playing and there's a creepy cult that all believe in at the certain thing
And that there's a resistance fighting them
And the people that you're fighting are like like well, they're not really familiar because they're from a time from the past
Or is this his modern day? Yeah, but I but I think like the american scary cult setting. Yeah, uh
Hey, bray Wyatt's got his own game. Let's do it. Let's do it. Right. Yeah, let's fucking let's go investigate
The the wild white hot off. What are they the the the whites of uh
What's that fucking movie called? Do you know the crazy white family?
There's many
Have eyes
Yeah
Um, the crazy white family describes a lot wrong. Sorry. No, I literally mean their last name is the whites. Oh
Okay, well
Yes, sure. That wasn't just a dream you had. Yeah
No, no, no, no, no, it's it's uh about the super duper
The super oh, there's a bit where a guy's just running from a bear
I'm like, you know, it's a good enemy for far cry a bear just a regular ass bear
Well, that's the thing is that you know, uh, I was I was saying to some people on twitter
I'm like I was kind of getting a little tired of the tropical
It's uh, you know sort of environments you always kind of go to I mean far cry 4 is a bit different but
Uh, and and it's great because they can reuse a lot of shit from far cry primals
Oh, absolutely
There's a lot of like pine trees and things and even some of the animals the wild and wonderful whites of west virginia. Thank you
Oh, right. This was a fantasia movie from the creators of jackass noxville and the crew followed this crazy family
And they're nuts. Yeah. Anyway, that's what I was talking about
You so he said they can use reuse bears and shit and I'm I'm I'm fascinated by this setting. I think it's super cool
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm
Yeah, so I got a buddy of mine from out in montana
Losing his shit over this because he lives in the town. He lives in a town that looks looks like it
But he's and he's all he's at the point of like, oh man. I know that guy
Well, wait like the thing is like you can fly you could fly overhead in a plane and shit like that
And I'm like, I'm wondering if they're ever if there's if it's gonna keep you in this fictional area
Or if you're ever gonna get into
There is no way this is all fiction
Ville this is while county's quite large. Yeah, it's like he's he's young or whatever
So like the hope county's it's probably gonna be inexplicably bound on all sides by the Rockies
I guess like and there's one road out of town and it's blocked
I guess it's just like if we're if something is san andreus huge
You know then like eventually you're gonna have to like hit the neighboring town or oh, they'll be all sorts of little towns
Like I mean well, if you if you travel around like in you know the country even out here like there are some
Fucking small towns not even one hour from here that encompass like eight homes
And a store so we're getting we're getting Montana
Sorry, I was just gonna say that this uh far cry primal didn't have co-op
I don't think I have a co-op but like since this is the return of that I assume
Yeah, this does have the good call but we're talking about okay because like I really want to want to give this a go
It's it's been a while. It's literally just the player tube. Well. I'm not sure you saw the video that we did the far cry
Multiplayer where we intercut between Pat's footage. I saw some of it. It's a blast. I saw some of it
Just just hey woolly get on this bike with me. Don't worry
I won't crash it and not dive off at the last second while you're on the back
Right, it's the best and it was the best without headsets. Oh, yeah, because we were trying it
We were recording our own episodes and trying to figure out what the other guy was doing
It's great
Uh, yeah, so we're getting Montana. We're getting Detroit
In game format. He means future. Yeah future Detroit
Um, I'm not sure if this will have towers far cry primal didn't really have towers
It kind of had encampments, but you never climbed anything. You just cleared out
If what if what video game settings in america have not yet been exploited?
We've even had rainbow six vegas. I I don't think well, I think it's been overused
I'd say I don't think the bayou has been done complete justice or a seven kind of glossed over it
Louisiana louisian that might be in in a thing here and there, but I don't think it's like a big release has had
A lot of focus there
far cry camden
Camden camden
You say the moment you it's it's one of those bullets are flying
Everywhere like rain and like precipitation Delaware
We're in Delaware
Nothing iowa
Far cry, Idaho one of those states that said the car is one particular
Spokane spokane. How do you even say that name whatever is on the edges of the west and the east is
Uh, maybe need like a far cry that's like in downtown like new york like it's actually just all buildings
Oh, and you got what are you hunting to get your upgrades? What what are you hunting to get your upgrades pizza? Yeah
I don't know. I want hobos. Uh hobos sewer gators
I want angry roving rats rats. I wanted rpg cockroaches. I want a detailed rpg that takes place on the new jersey turnpike
I've been that's just the turnpike. That's a harsh environment that you have to fight survive
Go into new york city. You were like, hey, we're gonna be in new york
Where's the hotel? We'll tell you one word close and i'm like the hotel's in jersey
That's a 40 minute ride from the fucking downtown new york, and they're like, yeah, that's why we waited to tell you player unknowns turnpike
I'd play it
underwater far cry
Like full like like atlantis or rapture
Uh, atlantis atlantis seems more fun. Yeah, the atlantis was more fun than rapture
Um
Why not fuck it
More more uh more blood dragon, please
observations made
Things that are known and accepted in the arms universe, but never questioned
There are ninjas and a ninja college slash university
One ninja decides to join an international sports competition as a senior project
People aren't born with arms, but instead just wake up one day. That is that that's right far the weirdest one boy decides to
Join an international sports competition after he wakes up with them and says i was shocked at first, but they're pretty rad
That would be you nobody knows where arms originated or why people get them and any attempts at trying to figure it out are thwarted by invisible force
Ah
An international corporation accidentally creates a thin synthetic being while trying to solve this mystery
The synthetic being decides to join an international sports competition
A long dead man wakes up as an undead mummy
The undead mummy decides to join an international sports competition to try and find is lost and assumed also dead family
There are security bots that have robot dog companions
A security bot and his robot dog companion decides to join an international sports competition as a single fighter and it's allowed
An a-list actress decides to join an international sports competition using her hair as arms
She doesn't actually have on snake boarding
A snake boarder decides to join an international sports competition
That isn't snake boarding to increase the viewership of his live streams snake boarding live streams
A young girl genius builds a mech suit with the purpose of joining an international sports competition
Like her favorite pop idol
One of the company one of the competitors is an international sports competition
Is a pop idol singer a girl with noodle arms decides to join an international sports competition to promote her parents ramen shop
Airtight arms the fact that there's any fiction should have any
Understand this fiction is thwarted by a mysterious force. You can't tell me otherwise then
I can't poke holes in any of you if if alien covenants said any attempt to understand this
It's thwarted by will you got me there Ridley?
Time to just give up
That's amazing
Fucking snake boarding. I haven't heard that term snake boarding live streams
That's the lore. That's so good
um
We gotta start up our side arms lore channel
Any attempt to understand this now would be the time
Uh, and the rest isn't that interesting. So let's get into the emails. That's fine. Yeah, it's uh, you know
Red Hood gunman is coming out
Uh, yeah, looks like he has a good keep away game. That's crazy. Shenmue 3 skipping e3
And kunio is going into a fantasy knights of justice type setting. Yeah, kunio fantasy strike or something
Oh, also, there'll be no beyond good and evil 2 at e3 as well
Take some emails
If you all sent an email go send down to super best friendcast at gmail.com
What if I want to do the fucking voice if I want to what voice I would oh, yes, that's good
I didn't hear anything. That's super best friendcast at gmail.com
Thanks, jimmy heart. I just wanted to like varied up a little bit
Are you trying to tell us something you're trying to let someone out?
Is there an inner is there another there's a smaller version of me piloting myself?
You know, I mean and black is a good movie if you want to if you want to like you reveal something
I mean, this is the way to do it. Okay. So I'm actually a 4 000 year old chinese myth dragon that speaks of the falsetto
Damn, I was hoping for cum ye hood. You're an undead mummy like little asian woman piloting
Uh, an old man in guilty gear. Oh man. I was said to
Okay, that means I'll never die. What are your emails that you got? All right
I heard that
I wanted you. Oh, you never do silly voices. Sorry. I'm just having to have podcast funsies over here
Podcast funsies is the invisible force but the but the but again, it's to me. It's like it's the word funsies. That's so ridiculous
Who says funsies?
You said it. I said LP fun. I really never you invented the word funsies. That was your brain
Man, I say funsies. No, I say funsies sometimes. Yeah. No, no when it happened. I just I said LP fun
I have to look back. Yeah, your brain. I'll take that. Your brain just feel like that was like funsies
It's one of those misattributed quotes
Oh
I said the other day like I'm going steady and no one says that Matt
Uh
Whatever, what's the emails? Yeah, you can just go shut up. I have a car now
Yeah, but someone's gonna key it at any second
Someone's keying it right now. Someone's keying it and then I was like, what are you doing? You're like car funsies
I'll put a banana in your tailpipe fucking invisible force over here. Let's take one from Nicholas
Hey, mr. Pickles, what up? Hey boom boom blaster knots love reading and writing about AI
So I have a simple question for you
Imagine an apocalypse where humans became a simple dumb simple and dumb except for one dying scientist
Who managed to make a robot who was immortal powerful and all knowing right before he died
A task nobody was able to replicate you not even the robot itself
And this robot proceeds to guide the human race into a perfect future. Yeah
would uh
My question is who would these dumb humans choose to be their god the savior or the creator of the savior
Well, they if they're done, they're gonna take the robot. Yeah, because the robot lives forever and that guy's dead
Yeah, that's easy. Well, I mean literally you can analog that to what we have where Jesus is the robot and the father
Holy shit the say is the creator damn
And so in that case it's like all of them
Well, yeah, but that assumes that the scientist is forever also
Yeah, but all you're missing is a holy ghost there
So you can just go like so the creator the robot and the robot ghost create the treaty
So what you're saying is that the humans won't be able to agree
There's our videos of the guy strife
Is there videos of the scientists doing stuff to people actually remember seeing them?
Yeah, the clip goes. My name is dr. Thomas light
Okay
Fair enough
If you're seeing and you have to get dr. Wahee. Wahee
uh
We got one coming in from the house roll
Uh, one coming in from why I built you jemton, uh pratt batam. That's not real
I think it might be like jemson pratt batam at gmail.com says, uh 2017 7 quarter fiscal annual audit report dear sir madame
We hereby acknowledge the receipt of your email
Note that uh, we are the senate committee and we've been probing foreign depths delaying your payment
Your name was shortlisted however
In that regard we officially want to inform you that the central bank of nigeria have accepted approval
For the part payment of the ministry of finance after several failed attempts to divert the funds to your government officials
And the banks formally handling your payment file
You're expected to come to nigeria to sign off on your fund release order
In order to determine if you are in fact the beneficiary
Please provide us with a passport copy any email correspondence with the corrupt officials
Any receipts of evidence for your previous payments your bank account info and of course your phone and fax info
As well for effective communication. We look forward to your prompt response important. You better get on that
Yep, you better get on that woolly and only woolly will do jemton will do
You're right. I was wrong. That sounds very real
Dare to reinfuck face. I vaguely remember a conversation several months back where you expressed your frustrations with
Aka the world ends with you
And I wanted to know if you ended up trying out the mobile version solar remix of the game. Um, yeah, I did talked about it a bit
It's on my permanent list of games to play on my phone
But I never play it. I'm still a couple hours and I'm still in the middle of it
And it definitely helps and allows me to get through it
But I still feel that the way it's not the the the fighting the the gestures you draw
Still feels random
It still feels like you're just randomly swiping at the screen and I feel that having inputs would have been better
But that being said, I tried the mobile version. I hated it
I thought it was incredibly inaccurate compared to the ds version and I have no explanation
Fair enough
Why why you can get a grasp on that and I'm swiping a million times and nothing is nothing's happening on screen
It's because and I'm using an iPad. I I hated the puck pass, you know, so
I'll take anything without it. I it was annoying to me. I don't know what to tell you
Uh pat, why do you hate style switching in combat?
Uh, super best opi food Nari sama cast
I love pat I really do but I noticed in games like yakuza in bloodborne
Uh, excuse me yakuza in bloodborne
He seems to hate combat that transfer transitions into each other
For example in yakuza, he plays magma and he doesn't use breaker style as an opener
He also doesn't space before attacking to wind up the breaker attacks to be more effective
So he can build me to really fasten a group of enemies and then switch to another style
I think that's just pat not knowing not that he doesn't want to do it. There's a no, he's right
Especially during bloodborne when he doesn't use transformation attacks
When page is playing he actively would say that weapons like the the boom hammer and the tontranus are garbage
And simply transitioning between attacks to get transition attacks to charge up the weapon before attacking again
Is it just those games? What's the deal?
I don't like characters that change stances in in fighters as well and that's been on
On a point that I can't stand characters with lots of stand switching
I want to have everything that I have
Locked in and as it is at all times
I want to play. I don't switch styles with dante. Damn
You're missing out on some points. I prefer nero. You're missing out on some spoken style
Give a shit. Oh, I want to play
I want to have a completely defined locked character that has everything available
Instantaneously that is unfortunate because switching styles is the coolest and most stylish thing. It's awesome
Lei wu long man. I don't like lei's dance switching
So cool. I don't I like to to a certain degree
There's not going to be much beyond on this answer of like I don't want to change it
Yeah, I want it to be rigidly set and if it's not rigidly set. I will rigidly set it
Um, I don't like I don't know. I don't like it hero B says not a question, but I wanted to
Uh praise willy and matt for this ongoing friendship with pat without giving him shit about how he absolutely can't whistle
But damn well thinks he can wait who's can't whistle. I can't I can whistle
I can't really
Not him after all this time is deserving of some kind of metal you guys are great. Thanks for all the content
It's as close as I can do it
Yeah, that's that's better whistling. Okay. Okay, I can't I can't carry a tune for shit, but
But and I I hella can't do the the you know that you put your fingers in that you make the really no, that's hard to do
I
See that's pretty good. I sorry. Did we ever talk about whistling where we were like no
It just apparently someone has evidence that you know, it's awesome
All this blowing into the microphones that we've been doing as a result fantastic
There we go
Matt uh
Justin from long island wants to know if you've seen the movie a cure for wellness
Or if you've heard of it. Uh, yes, I have and uh, what you thought a cure for wellness is the
Weird horror movie that gore verbinski like did after a bio shock the movie got cancelled
For no reason. Yep. Uh, then he's like, I don't make this weird fucking thing
So there's like kind of water scares in there. There's weird tendrils and things
Um, it starts the guy that played uh, harry osborne in the amazing spider-man movies
Which I I like that actor. I have not yet seen it. Uh, it was not playing at any movie theaters around
I was kind of an indie thing, but I heard it's I heard it's very interesting
I heard it's it's kind of one of those difficult like almost david lynching like I don't under what's going on
But I would like to see it. Uh, I don't know if it's out now on vod's or anything
But if it is let me know because I didn't want to see that one
okay, yeah, uh
apparently it is a
Yeah, horror movie that he said got middling reviews, but I haven't heard of it weird name
Yeah, it's kind of like like people are going nuts. And there's like this weird, uh,
hospital and
I don't know a lot about it because like I watch a trailer and it was one of those things
I don't I don't know what's going on. You know, it's kind of weird, but uh, I did want to check it out
okay, uh
Take one from
Oh, yeah, we should probably uh, uh, Hanzo's asking what's going on at the website
Player's changing, isn't it? I believe that is the case
Um, yeah, so anyone who's having trouble with the website, which is everyone
Yes, uh, ever since the start of the playthrough for uh, la noir. Yeah, the website hasn't been working
So that's because I think we're changing out the player
As far as we know. Yeah
Gotta make more inquiries. We don't actually run the technical end of the website. We do not
Because we don't know how to do that
And one there's a random screenshot for a cure for wellness
Okay, that's a fun screenshot. It's a guy with a weird guy again weird dentist shit and it's one of those things they put on um
on
Like clockwork orange. I knew you're gonna say but for your mouth rather than your eyes. Yeah
yeah
which
You know, it's scary shows up in other types of videos. Yes. Yes, it does
Uh, and lastly, let's take one uh from lucian. They're super best crime lords recently
Yeah, recently took woolly's advice and I released a fan game to a much beloved series
Unfortunately, the publisher who have been instructed not to name as the trial is ongoing is suing me
I'm looking at 10 years in the big house that got me thinking
If you were sent to jail because of following woolly's terrible legal advice
That's right and could train under any fictional character to learn their style to defend yourself in the slammer
Who would you pick? Right here?
Hmm
That's a good jail to break me out of jail
Well, just in general to defend yourself is safe in jail. Keep me safe in jail. Yeah, so a prison buddy
No, a mentor to teach you a style
Yeah, you happen to share your cell with a really nice guy
Okay, allow me to read it back verbatim
No, no, no, I heard the start and I heard the end so I thought it was someone to defend you so you don't go to jail
No, no, no, no, no, you're in jail. Okay, if you were sent to jail
And could train under any fictional character to learn their style to defend yourself. Yes, who would you pick? Sajima?
He does pretty well
But all of his friends end up getting fucking killed. Oh, well
That's the guy though. He's pretty cool. Yeah, uh, maybe he went worth miller
You can bring me out of jail there for get some prison break going
Uh
As much as I'd love to say Jolyne, I wouldn't be able to do shit without getting arrowed
So I'm getting arrowed. It's a pretty raw dice roll. It is
it is
Uh
Unless you have a crazy diamond nearby to cheat. Yeah
But I'm gonna say or a gold experience either one. Yeah, yeah
I mean to cheat cheat. I'm gonna say dr. Strange
Uh-huh because
Being able to leave my body while in prison means I can just go out and be awesome
And if anyone wants to fuck with me in prison, I can go fuck with them in their cells
And you can just watch them fuck with you
No, you know outside your body be like, oh wow. They're really fucking me up
No, before they got to fuck with me. I'd go in and astral form astral plane
It just why don't you even be in jail at this point?
They I followed my own legal advice. Oh, it was terrible. It was bad. Yeah. Yeah, I released it
That sucks how you put that guy in the big house. I mean, hey, you're yours. I told him not to listen to me
I feel like that sentence is like intellectually dishonest because if you tell people not to listen to what you just said
Why did you say it? You fucking say that all the time to me
What you'll say to do something and then I'm like, okay, and it's a huge bad advice
You look wise listen to me. I guess you trapped me in my own lies because if if how bad the advice is is
Outweighed by how funny it is. Yeah, then fuck you. That's the reason you're getting a match about the window
Oh, I died. I didn't tell you to do that. That would be the best end to a podcast, bro
It would be
It would be
But fortunately an invisible force throws me back in
All right, um
So what's coming up? What's coming out?
Okay, what's coming out tech in tech in seven on friday friday
How probably not gonna get a not gonna get a um fisticuffs and time
If that would mean we'd have to record it like that afternoon
We'd have to whip billy and then more than usual. We have more and that's so that'll be though the next
That'll be next week. I don't know unless that'll give us time to practice
Yeah, I'm gonna be streaming it on friday night because I want to play tech in I haven't played as king in like four years five years
Oh, man. First four has this awesome tech in king statue
We didn't talk about the fucking tech insult guy
That motherfucker resolution. Oh, yeah, we forgot to talk about that super motherfucker. Isn't wasn't that kotaku
Embellishing something well, I saw the footage of him changing the shit
No, I but I saw mark man right into kotaku saying hey that that wasn't cool. You didn't you didn't report on this properly
I don't know. I think killer instinct having uh, it's evo moment 37 was more hype
Because there was a ridiculously sick comeback
in a in a oh, I saw that I think slowly where where um cinder
Was fighting um saber wolf and he's got the bombs on him and the clocks running out and
With like no life left. He lands a touch and immediately goes into an ultra
And it's the sickest thing. It's a perfect comeback the same theory time of the combo breaker
Yeah, but we're talking about the guy that was like fuck this resolution. That's why you won. I'm talking about killer instinct
No, I'm talking about that. Yeah, he's talking you're talking about the resolution. Yeah, okay. Sorry. I thought we were a guy who
The guy who gets perfected and then immediately goes and fucking fucks the resolution sections
things in the middle of the match which
I don't know about you, but shouldn't that be like an immediate loss to like pause and quit out of the game
Yeah, so I don't know what I don't know what kotaku had to say about it
But I mean, I don't know the details either. I just saw some people saying something like they were they were misrepresenting
What the story was about? I don't know. Let's find out I guess you can't trust tech and players
Uh
Corrected in brackets. Oh, no. So what's the correct? Oh, this is less fun now. Let's find out what happened
At combo breaker, uh, yeah, kodia kazooia player who had just been on the wrong end of a perfect round
Uh hit the playstation guide button to check the resolution the crowd commentators and the opponent surprise
After changing the resolution and moving on to the next game the commenters elaborated
Some pros believe that the game performs better when played at 720p rather than 900 or 1080. It's still unproven
But he believed this was the reason for his performance in game one in a perfect
Yeah
Yeah, it would then follow that he should perform better with the new resolution
But uh tanukana who was on a roll from the main stage and she seemed to be fine
And continued to with that resolution. What's the correction took the game?
Three to one. Okay. So the update says kodia reached out via twitter to say he does not blame the resolution for his loss
And at least five people have also complained of the lag
Related to the resolution another and then another correction says the main article
And its headline initially inaccurately said that kodia blamed the resolution for his loss
But he fucking exits out of the game to go change the resolution
Well
The fact that he doesn't say it it's not the resolution
It's the fact there's apparently a frame disadvantage on that resolution if that's a different thing
That seems like the most trivial correction ever. Yeah, I think it is maybe I don't know I didn't say that's why I lost
I just went and changed it in the middle of the match, which should have disqualified me
There's a tweezers, but I never blamed anything get it right. Hey man. Hey man. That's horses. Maybe he's like
I I lost that round. That's quiet salt that I lost that round. I got owned. Okay. Hey, let me check the resolution
Let me you know, it's not john's if you don't you're not familiar with the tech internment
I'm gonna assume but I know you are extremely familiar with evo rules
If you were playing evo grand finals
And after a perfect somebody fucking hit start and fucking went and changed resolution on the game
Is that not an automatic disqualification? No
No
Because a lot of the official rules for tournaments are main are based around the idea of active play
So, uh, if you hit an ultra
That is going to kill the character and the round is still playing and I pause
The round is still over. It doesn't matter
So that's in the same place even if you if I walk away while you're doing a fatality
Okay, even if you change parts of the setup without the acknowledgement or permission of yeah, that's of the other player
Yeah, so that so that going into settings and change like just exiting the game
Right when you're not actually actively playing is not in itself an infraction
So when he goes and changes
Changing the settings on the console would usually be a yellow card by pause. Hey, what are you doing? What the fuck's going on here?
Did you do it? Did you do it during like characters? It was after the match. It was it was it was during a match
That should be fine. So that's what so that but but I'm saying like to just like that's how you it's not a disqualification
What if what if the other players like no, I want to play at that resolution that I walked in at and it's like
No, no, no, no the setup the setup's condition is determined by the judges and I find that and the the venue
You know like uh, or rather the tournament the to like you don't have a player changing other shit
I think that's bizarre. That's not that's not okay, you know, but
Um, but to just to get you disqualified or to have you lose the round or whatever active play
Okay, that makes that makes sense. I don't like it. I actually think because I know
But it's like some fighting games or some games in general competitively have points where it's like it's active play
But it's not so once you once you get
Once you get all once you get knocked out of bounds and smash and the character
You know when if the character's flying by and it takes a while for you to lose
You need to have the time to stand up and throw your controller through a wall
If you're playing marvel and two and someone's doing a loop an infinite loop. Oh, you can just get up
Yeah, assuming they don't drop their combo which happens. Yeah all the time. There's great videos
I was that guilty gear moment. That's never gonna go away. What are you standing up for?
What are you standing up for?
What are you standing up for? Ah, that's great. So yeah, ah, anyway, uh coming up coming out tech and seven
To show that eagle teaser. Oh, yeah, they did. Yes. Oh, I missed it very little
There's very little doesn't show his face, but it shows a bit of his music just a taste of it
He is like a pretty good. He has a magic owl or something. He has he has striders
um, uh eagle that
And it's like a silver cyborg version of it poop-a-peep-o part two. Yeah return. Yeah. Yeah, I was at the law
Uh, eagle is uh thunder's brother and killer instinct. Oh, I'm one of his frat boy friends
Going on going out on their
Frosh adventures. Yeah, they're Frosh adventures. So the the full trailer that's supposed to come out any other big releases coming out this week
That are because Tekken's the one that pops in my mind
Tekken should be the one that takes over the one for me aside from that is perception the uh horror gamer
You're a coplying girl and oh, yeah, oh the visuals on that are so cool because it's basically daredevils like
Echo vision. Yeah vision. So that comes out. That's gotten something like if he reviews
But those little got positive ones. So I want to check that out. But yeah, it's kind of Tekken 7
Cool. Um, what's coming out with us? What do we got on the channel? We got lots of lino ours
Yeah, we were just informed today. We have some we should we should keep recording though. Yeah. Uh,
Rhyme is out this week
Yeah, uh rev two. Oh, yeah guilty
And I think
uh
No, wait far point already came out. Yeah, it came out like weeks ago. Yeah, okay
If I if I knew where my PlayStation VR was I'd boot it up. Yeah
I don't know
I think it's in a bag somewhere. No, no
Is the lens covered? I don't know you got to protect the lens
Sure, because uh, I'd have to well mine's facing away from the window and it's sitting on my desk. Yeah fine
Yeah, I stuff the t-shirt on mine. Oh, yeah, mine's open
But I mean nothing's around it just as long as the the lens itself is not exposed to the light
Yeah, because the it'll burn that shit out. Yeah, okay. Well, it's definitely not because it's probably under a couch
Oh, we got more yakuza. He's coming in. Isn't I know what's still ongoing? Yeah, we definitely have one more session left
Wow, that's shocking. Yeah, we thought we thought we'd be done by now. Well, I'm I'm exploring
Yeah, but you told me like two weeks ago. Oh, we're gonna bang it out
Because we're maxing out conversations. I can't feel it out. Oh, you're yeah, I'm cold
So I don't know where or what cold sir
We we met an old god. Okay. That's fine. So that's cool. Yeah, that was fun. Um, Matt. Are you doing a stream this week?
Uh, I will and is it going to be Friday the 13th? I'm gonna assume right now. It's not I might do perception
So, okay, but I don't know what day that'll be but it'll be before the end of the weekend. Okay
Okay, uh, woolly versus has anything coming up on it. Yeah, we've got uh
More we've got more knolls. We've got more knolls coming knolls. Oh, fuck you
Yeah, that's that's what's going down. I mean, oh, I hope those videos do well
You know, it'll be really trash video. Someone should make a burrito prequel. That'd be awesome. Anyway, uh
Actually literally made me sick to my stomach. So, uh, that's gross and we got more table lords coming and um
That shout outs to didn't you just get a plug on table? Yeah a very very small one for kingdom death monster
It's like a really it's just a one line and like the post but it's awesome that they even acknowledged it
And here's why because I completely understand. We're playing the tabletop simulator version of the game. Oh, which is
No
You know, and I'm like, so I hope they can forgive the fact that I'm playing with my buddy's oceans apart
Because it's the only way we can play
But believe me, it's just the only way I heavily backed your campaign
He did heavily backed your campaign and I'm getting a lot of plastic shipped to my house
So and also you're getting table lords. Yeah, so, you know, uh kingdom kingdom death monster
It's supposed to be a deldo joke, but thank you guys didn't now. It's not even plastic
None of detail in there. Yeah. Yeah, he kind of that was that was a flaccid one. Yeah
You buy a lot of those
That's on woolly versus what's coming up on angriest pat, uh, that's adam
I'm gonna take a second seven on friday. Okay, and I'll probably stream some bullshit in between then but I don't file
That's one of those things of like, okay. Am I doing anything with my life? Yeah
So unfortunately since tech in is not
Coming out this for a first of course. It's it's coming out fucking friday afternoon pretty much. That's too late
There's there's a ton. Oh, we're gonna do ultra street fun. I mean, I'd rather we could but I mean, there's some great stuff out there
We can oh, no. Oh, I can tell from the fucking tone of his fucking boy. He's been all coy and shit
Well, fucking pile of shit you have are you gonna fucking walk into tech and one in here? I don't know yet
There's a lot we haven't looked that game sucks
tech and one sucks
Tech of two is really good
You familiar with the miserable. Oh, you file. Oh, yeah, somebody sent you that shit. I've had that like over a year now, dude
That's been sitting there as amongst other things. Don't worry about it. The bar the barrel continues
Um, at some point we're just gonna have to start paying people to invent new barrels
I also want to go see one wrong man. Yeah this week. Oh, is that this week? Yes
Most people don't know that
Oh, man, I didn't know that most people don't tell you what uh, tell me what I'll tell you what all angry men know
Yeah, that's right. Um
very angry
So, uh, resuming dark souls, uh, we got to talk about like it's gonna be tricky because this month is really busy
It's bad. Yeah, there's traveling and bullshit going on and I don't know
But I've gone after the 16th to go live in my other world. So there you go
We're gonna have to figure this one out
But uh, we'll let you guys know we haven't forgotten sunday would work for me. Just throw this sunday
Yeah, it would would this sunday work for me
Not uh, maybe I don't know. I don't think so. All right, so saturday would work for for me fine
How about you guys? Not me not you
No, why don't we figure it out? Why don't we just do it like on a thursday evening?
You know
We could just say fuck it. We do work for ourselves
Yeah, because the weekends are basically our day. It would basically be for the viewer's sake to not throw it in on a week day
You know, but at the end of the day, it's gonna be on the youtube. So let's discuss this off the camera
All right
Cool. All right guys, so um, um, enjoy your lives and now that you're free of this podcast
I yeah
That's that was a flaccid ending. I don't like it. I'll show you a flaccid ending
That's even more flaccid
