Starting point is 00:00:00 Brought to you by the all-new season of the FXX animated comedy, Archer, Danger Island premiering Wednesday, April 25th at 10 p.m. on FXX. The all-new season centers around semi-functioning alcoholic seaplane pilot, Sterling Archer, as he navigates the mysterious and deadly world of Danger Island, located on the lush South Pacific island of Mitimotu in 1939. Along with his trusty co-pilot, Pam, he must navigate quicksand, cannibals, super-intelligent monkeys, poison darts, and pirates, among other things. Watch the all-new season of Archer, Danger Island, Wednesdays at 10 p.m. starting April 25th on FXX. Hello! Hello! Hi there!
Starting point is 00:00:58 How's it going? Who are you? I started with the wind. Oh, okay. I am a tumbleweed. So you're a wind goddess. A wind goddess. A wind sprite.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Basically the wind version of that. No, who the hell are you? I'm Austin, eruption. What's up? What's up? Pat's on vacation. I've defeated him in combat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:16 And he took a vacation. Yeah. In mortal combat and with his blood, yes, the throne is gone. Remember, it's not about death, but life. Shut up. Shut your fucking mouth, Raiden. Oh, god. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Yeah. So, so, so, I don't think it's been, it's been quite a while since you physically. It's been about two years. Checked in. Yeah. Like two years after PAX. Sorry. PAX East.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. After the one last time. Was it all the Warriors? Or was it after that? It was after. It was after that. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Yes. It was the hotel room. It was like three months after that. Yes. Yes. The hotel cast. That's true. What up, Austin?
Starting point is 00:02:00 Welcome. Welcome. Thanks for having me. Hello. I'm having a good time. Montreal is cold. It's super cold. April.
Starting point is 00:02:08 You kind of picked, yeah. You picked a, you picked a time. Every day since I got here. It's fucking worse. And I've been, and I've been telling, I told like Jeff the same thing when he swung by and all this stuff. It's like, you guys, I mean, I know it's not based entirely on just what's happening outside, but like you picked a fuck time to swing through.
Starting point is 00:02:24 I was hanging out on the roof and it was just ice everywhere. There's bad time to go to the roof. It was always great to walk into Blizzaga. No. And so those rooftop icicles that attack you, the problem is when you turn around and leave the screen, they come back. Yeah. So the next time you go back up on the roof, they spawned again.
Starting point is 00:02:42 It's true. They ninja-guiden that shit. So you have to get really close and wait for them to start shaking and then move out. Yeah. You gotta wait for it. It's like a Final Fantasy 15 Blizzaga friendly fire shit going on. Yeah. And God forbid they hit you back out of the screen because then you have to enter it
Starting point is 00:02:57 again. Oh yeah, they did. You actually need to come here like late May, mid June to get like weather you don't mind going out. During second summer. Yeah. Of the 11 seasons of Canada. The 11 seasons.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Yeah. Right. What's the one we are in right now? Oh well, the 11 seasons of Canada. There's two seasons. There's the 11 seasons of Canada. There's winter, then there's not. Let me describe.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Those are the two seasons. There's winter. Yeah. There's followed by full spring. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, never mind. Now then after full spring comes second winter and then the spring of deception. Oh, that's what we're in right now.
Starting point is 00:03:35 We are currently in third winter. Oh, okay. Oh. Yes. We are third winter and there's about 14 days until we hit mud season. Oh shit. You know mud season. I hate.
Starting point is 00:03:47 My alley in the back of my house is never not ice or mud. Yes. That's the only. You were in there. You seen that shit. It's bad. I did. Is it like Woodstock 99?
Starting point is 00:03:58 It can be. Yeah, yeah. You were there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like. It's like fine. It's like. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:04:06 God, what the fuck is that? It was the girl wrestling game called. Rumble Roses? It's like Rumble Roses. That's my mom's favorite game. Flash colored mud or mud mode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like how Willie went.
Starting point is 00:04:15 What's the girl? Rumble Roses before me even. That was a bonding experience with my mom growing up. That's important. Yeah, that's important. It's just one of those things. After mud season comes actual spring, then summer, then false fall, then second summer for one week, then actual fall, and we do it all over again.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Shit. I basically tell people it's like the like you should, June to September. That's your window. Right. Yeah. October's OK. October's our only like thing where I'm like it's it's a little crispy, but it's fine. But then everything else is garbo.
Starting point is 00:04:55 So we have one season in Texas. Fuck you. It's Texas. It's Texas. It's Texas. It's it's like the same thing. How to go from going from Seattle for like a few years and then going straight back to Texas.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Was it like it actually wasn't that bad because like Seattle doesn't get anywhere near the like climate that you guys have here. No, no, no. But I just mean like because when the twoish times I've been in Texas, I'm like it's the type of heat that causes damage. It's not humid. It's not whatever. It's just like like like that Vegas heat.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Yes. Like Vegas. Vegas heat is damage sheet. Absolutely. Right. Right. Right. Well, speedos were invented for a reason.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Right. And it's for Texas weather. Yeah. And like the the when you're walking around the strip, like the hotel casino entrances might as well be Metroid doors that you shoot. It's real. It's real. Because it just locks.
Starting point is 00:05:48 It's like you're as soon as you're in, you're fine. Yeah. I went to. Your life just is like, yeah, you're good. I went to Vegas. Not during Evo, but during August of last year and around Evo time. Yeah. Around Evo.
Starting point is 00:05:59 But you know, I arrived at midnight in my car, got out of my car, which was like nice and air conditioned from the day and then it's 95 outside at midnight. And I'm like, oh wait, that's fake American. Our summers here do get hot, right? Yeah. For you 80, 90 on a really hot day. But like there's this one where you know the one department store on St. Catharines that always has a lot of lights and a lot of shoes.
Starting point is 00:06:25 And when you walk by it, it's it's blasting out cold air because they know. Which one? It's God. It's like it's like across the street from the Urban Outfitters on St. Catharines. Okay. Okay. You did a couple of shifts. I think so.
Starting point is 00:06:39 I think so. Yeah. Oh yeah. That fucking tweet where it's like, me, excuse me, do you know where I can find Urban Outfitters employees? Just dancing and doing this fucking. That's totally it. I liked going into Urban Outfitters once in my life.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And that's because no one bothered me and I found one cool thing, but every subsequent time we were going into Urban Outfitters, it's been that I'm assaulted by like goons of the Joker. Jesus toys and yeah, but they have Jesus playing a Jaguar. But all my favorite pillows and pillow sheet pillowcases and bedsheets came from from there because they had some fun stuff. I got my record player from Urban Outfitters. There you go.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Like a USB record player. Not a USB. It's a classic. Audio Technica. Yeah. It's still not great. They know they had a like a nice thick comforter that was like green on one side and purple on the other.
Starting point is 00:07:37 And I went, thank you. There you go. I appreciate this. Barney colors, dude. What have you been up to in general, leading into going into Montreal? And I heard the word burlesque was thrown around. Oh yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:49 We got in a couple of days ago and we've been with Willie. He's been showing us the sights. It's been a good time. Two days ago, we went to a roller derby show. Yeah. I guess a game. A game. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Well, the fun thing about this town, and I always like it, but it's kind of like it's like, okay, so folks are in. What are we doing? Right. And all you got to do is just kind of like jump on your phone. What's happening? Montreal is a pretty cool city. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:08:12 There's always some shit going down. It ain't like, no fucking way. We'll see Toronto. Yeah. So in the summer, for the most part, there's overlapping things, but there's too much actually some might play. But within the same day, I was able to look up and go, what are we doing today? All right.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Yeah. We got a roller derby. Who's playing? The Fide Roi against Lorraine. Oh, those aren't fun English names. I don't think that one. You asked. I know.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Your response is honest, but I just want like, you know, and the neon nightmares. Yeah. Well, they're not always England. It's the Montreal like roller derby league. So yeah. But anyway, and then that was immediately followed up by Tina Turner, burlesque performance. So like, we're like, yeah, we got a night. You need to dress up for that.
Starting point is 00:08:59 You don't dress up. I never thought. Do you need to? Just don't wear khakis, you know, damn it. I always wear khakis. No, I never thought I'd see somebody take off their clothes to the golden eye theme, but I did. I have not.

Starting point is 00:11:56 Gold. Gold. Gold. Gold. The Gold. I know the lore where you put like the cardboard on the screen, right? Right. I always play with people I trusted, you know?
Starting point is 00:12:08 I don't know. If you're looking at where your opponents are, are you not looking at where you're going? Exactly, but you needed the cardboard to play Starcraft 64 right afterwards though. That I did attempt with friends. I played Starcraft 64 once, that sure was. Last year. It was yesterday with woolly, no. I know.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Yeah, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza PS2 just seeing how... The translation is so much better, obviously. In the first version, yeah. Yeah, as opposed to Kiryu dropping slurs at people in the PlayStation 2 version. Oh, I think it's amazing that localization, just because they tried so hard to get big useless names. When I think of Japan, I think of Michael Madsen, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Kiryu was voiced by some guy named Daryl. Yeah, I forget who. Is there a last name there? I'm sure there is. I don't think he's... But I was looking at the IMDb, because I'm like, is this Steve Bloom forgetting how to do his thing, or now's Daryl? And Michael Madsen played Shimano, the big ball guard?
Starting point is 00:13:14 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Mark Hamill was Majima. Yeah, I like that. Really? Yeah, always? He did good. Well, I mean, the localized version. Only the first game was done.
Starting point is 00:13:24 That's cool. Oh yeah, you weren't in the Yakuza LP, so we talked about a bunch there, but Mark Hamill's the standout is the only guy that kind of fits the crazy persona, but yeah, it's Michael Madsen is a big Japanese crime boss. So it's part one? Yeah, just part one. Okay, because like I said, what I'm familiar with is the summary movies of one and two that went into three.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because during the QA period of tests, like I watched those, and I don't remember hearing it. No, because they took it out. Yeah, they were like, we're going to put the proper Japanese stuff in here now. Part three was Japanese, so it would be QA. I've also been playing a little indie game called Minute. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:58 You heard of that? Everyone's talking about Minute. Oh yeah, I've heard about that. Minute's really cool. It's like a, I don't want to use the term roguelike, because it's not really, but it's like, it has like this Zelda kind of thing going on. Permadeath and R. Not permadeath.
Starting point is 00:14:16 It does not have permadeath. You die every 60 seconds. Oh. You have to. Oh. Every progress. That's already interesting. It's like edge of tomorrow, where learn what you live, die, repeat.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Ah, fuck. All right. What kind of game is it? So would you say 60 minutes or 60 seconds? 60 seconds. Okay. Or when you get to the second play through, 40 seconds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Oh, I didn't know that. It's so interesting. I totally platinumed it in like six hours the other day. Is it a platformer? No, it's like a Zelda clone kind of thing. Okay, okay. Go on, go on, go on. So you start, you're like this little, it's the really cute only black and white art style.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Very minimalistic, main characters like this little like duck looking thing. It's really hard to describe, but you find a cursed sword and the sword turns like basically makes it so you die every 60 seconds. And you make progress by like solving puzzles and like trying to talk to people to figure out where to go. Does time stop when you're talking to people? Nope. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:11 No. Because you don't really, in fact, there's, they play a thing on that because there's this old turtle who talks so, and you basically have to go to him when you spawn to get his entire message and then you just die. But you respond and every bit of progress that you make, like any items that you find to like the watering can or any quests that you do that open up later areas, you retain them. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:34 So eventually you get like, there's like portals where you like can go to other areas quicker or checkpoints where you can spawn in different areas. But boss fights with weaknesses. Only one boss fight. It definitely feels like it's Devolver Digital, but it was like kind of made by this. I don't remember the name of the developers, but they're all listed just by name. And it's almost kind of like a super group indie project from like, it felt like it was like a game GM game almost, but it's like much higher quality.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Okay. There's not that much to it, but it's like super interesting. Okay. It's been getting like nine out of 10s and 10 out of 10s. You always spawn at the same beginning spot. You can get a new checkpoint. Okay. There's like four beds in the game.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Okay. But there's not so much to it that you'd want to go into too much detail. I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Gotcha. I don't want to touch it much. No, that premise sounds so great already.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Yeah. It's only 10 bucks too. What's it on? Everything, I think. Is it on switch? Not sure. I know it's on PS4 and PC. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Certain. Probably Xbox one as well. Yeah. It's like minute. M-I-N-I-T. Oh, M-I-N-I-T. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Not minute. Minute. Super cool game though. Yeah. I didn't mean to try it, but I just haven't had time. Fuck yeah. I'm throwing that on. That sounds super fun.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I know. I was like, maybe you should do a video on it or something. Okay. I had a day where I was going to be working while I was visiting in Toronto and then there were just jackhammers outside the entire day so I couldn't concentrate so I put on my headphones and I'm like, I'm just going to play this game. Boom. Holding on.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Cool. And you're done with it? Yeah. I planned a bit on PlayStation 4. Six hours. Yeah, so. Cool. That's it.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Yeah. Anything else of the week that you would, that strikes your fancy? The only other thing that I've really been playing recently because it's just been for like YouTube or Twitch and stuff like that, but I finished Wild Arms 3. Mmm. If you like Wild West themed Japanese RPGs that go off the fucking rails, that's the thing to play. If you like radar map discovery systems.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Oh yeah, no. That's no good. The fuck? That game's got some like, this was released in 2002. Fuck you mechanics, you know, but overall. Standing on a map location. Yeah. And you're not there though because the person hasn't triggered it for you?
Starting point is 00:17:49 Exactly. What the fuck? You know what's fucked up about Wild Arms is that when Wild Guns was announced to come out, the Wild Guns reloaded, I saw a bunch of angry Wild Arms fans going, fuck this. I thought it said Wild Arms and when like someone talks about Wild Arms, I go and play Wild Arms. I've seen people that go, oh sorry, I thought you meant something cool. I thought you meant Wild Guns.
Starting point is 00:18:12 It's okay. Like it's two franchises that hate each other how similar their name games are. It's okay. The six people in both fandoms. Yeah, exactly. And me and Woolly are part of Wild Guns fan. I'm a fan of Wild Arms Twilight Venom. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:29 The TV. I saw one episode of that. I had one episode. That was always at the start of the Street Fighter animated. Yeah. Twilight Venom. They always show Twilight Venom. And then you see the words Twilight Venom turning to TV.
Starting point is 00:18:44 The Wild Arms 5 comes with a disc that has one episode of Twilight Venom on it and that's it. Oh my God. It's good shit. Oh man. What did you think of the sports of roller derby? Okay, so coming from Texas, America in general, the only sports that we really talk about or see on mainstream television is basketball, sometimes baseball and then professional football.
Starting point is 00:19:12 It's all a bunch of big men. Spoilers, at some point someone in the audience called this some weird Yankee shit. Yeah. No, no he didn't. No. But I was not used to the violence. The violence. The violence.
Starting point is 00:19:31 There is, in fact, from time to time, ultra violence in the sport of roller derby. It was like some fucking Mortal Kombat 9 shit. Yeah, I was telling them, I was telling them about the hip checks. It was really weird when that one girl ripped her arm off. The hip checks can get brutal because when they have blockers, they can fucking destroy the kids. Yeah, exactly. The hips don't lie.
Starting point is 00:19:54 In fact, they slaughter. Well, he was telling me a story about how you got hip checked into the air. I sure did. My friend, May, she went, I was like, show me how to, Castle Runs. Yeah. Yeah. She was like, I'm like, okay. You derby?
Starting point is 00:20:09 She's like, I derby. And I'm like, the hip checks. And she's like, the hip checks for real, though. I'm like, okay, come on. But she's like, you want one. You're in danger. And I'm like, okay, but she's like, no, you want one. I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:19 And she's lined up and went, bam, and lifted my whole body into the air at my heaviest. That mind you. Nice, nice. That's over 250 pounds. Of pure embarrassment. Sailing through the air from a hip check. It was an x-ray attack. It was rad.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And I was like, oh, fuck, that's what these girls are getting hit with as they're going around in each jam. I never, I never realized that until today. I'm like, yeah, it's their fucking special skill. That's it. Right. Like in terms of physicality. And again, there's no downs.
Starting point is 00:20:51 There's no rounds. No seconds. They're called jams. Right. Yeah. To a full extent. Yo, man, if that was WWE All-Stars, you would have been like throwing in the three back flips.
Starting point is 00:21:01 And they can't shoot in the air with a hollow. So like whenever you have like the, you know, the, you have the, the, um, the jammer who's basically your Ellen Page and whip it, the small one that's got to like stuck through the legs and stuff. And they get caught by a blocker that fucking does one of those hip checks. You go flying. I'd imagine. You know, and they've got to like get back up after wiping out hard and like skate back
Starting point is 00:21:26 around. And that's what the knee pads and stuff are for. Like you got to keep the protection. And it's still to this day is such a shame that there's no awesome game. Yeah. Like a roller derby, like there's that one game. There's that one. We wear game.
Starting point is 00:21:41 And we downloaded it. Yeah. We haven't played it yet. But there's no like real. Sick. Actual. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:49 We know with like turbo buttons and like a name generator. Just like NBA Jam. The roller derby, right? Basically NBA Jam roller derby and there needs to be a team and and and and row derby name generator that like takes your own and do it. Yeah. We were going through it and we're coming up with ours like I've already I've always had mine.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Yeah. Unstoppable. You know, and we're seeing where else we can go. We had our friend, Rach, I get for her. I came up with preparation. Rach. That's that's pretty solid. And like you don't want it.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I know you're not too. Yeah. You're a little tired on it, but ostentatious is the obvious place to go. That's fine. That can also be a stripper name. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Which might, you know, be why I don't like it. My secret life under that name. Yeah. But yeah, no, it was it was it was fun. Yeah. Yeah. It was a really good time. I just the aggression was something I had not seen in person and it was like captivating
Starting point is 00:22:43 WWE aggression. Also they had good dirt beer. Yeah. I tasted like it was like dirt. Yeah. Yeah. Like actually it's supposed to or is just a beer that tasted like I wouldn't doubt it because it's like those sodas we drank at max that actually tasted like they're supposed
Starting point is 00:23:00 to. No, it wasn't like supposed to, but it had the word organic on it. So. Oh, so yeah, then naturally dirt would find its way. Yeah. Of course. But not only that store bought nutrient dirt. No, no, you guys are too good for that.
Starting point is 00:23:11 I need the earthworm dirt. Yeah. We go outside and milk the the dirt cow. I was about to say like the dirt worm. This horrible tremor like beast. What's this? What's happened? Do you have a derby name?
Starting point is 00:23:24 Would you? Yeah. I haven't. I haven't thought. Give me give me some time to workshop it. I'll come with it. I'll come up with it. Tia Matt.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Tia Matt's not bad. It's a little obscure. Yeah. In terms of the creature. Goddess of salt. Yeah. Hmm. Salt in the sea.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Not bad. There's stuff out there. I'm like anyone. I think something Lovecraftian would be. Well, so the problem is because like some people just get free passes on it. Right. Hmm. Like what was it?
Starting point is 00:23:51 If you're named if you're Valerie, you get Valhalla for free. Yeah. You get that one for free. Right. It's it's it's it's some some people have better some people have better like things than others better advantages. You could be the Matador. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:24:08 That's pretty good. Yeah. All right. Anyway, anyway, anyway, you work on that. I might my my my eyes are glazing over trying to cool. I guess I'll tag there because yeah, we shared some of those activities. I want to give a shout out to the the mixed drinks that were at the the wiggle room where the dark and stormy is the place where they had with the burlesque show was happening.
Starting point is 00:24:39 The dark and stormy is a good ass drink. I appreciate. I appreciate that. The ginger ginger beer. You got some spicy things on stage. You got some spicy things on your hand. And in addition to that, there were they had the special as it was like strong Susie I think or like a proud Susie the proud Mary proud Mary and that was a really good drink.
Starting point is 00:25:02 And I basically come to realize like all these places with that have really the best like mixed cocktails like one is spent ingredient that sounds gross at first, but I've never had a bad one with it is egg whites, huh? Egg whites used in cocktails. If you hear a one has one, what's its function and it makes the flavors better, stronger and it adds faster and it adds a consistency to the drink that like makes it kind of like smooth and like a little bit. Yeah, it adds a little like like texture, but I guess I'll dilute it.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Absolutely. There's no real like that's a fucking egg. You don't taste egg, you know, with it like I'd fucking I'd die. No, it really like every time I've had it as an ingredient, it's made it way better. Yeah, it's I mean, it's it's a lot of it. It's like slight texture to slight texture makes a little froth to it type of thing, but it really does add a lot and I wouldn't you wouldn't think it. You had a big happy smile when you were drinking that drink.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Yeah, that was good. That was a good time. And then we were we were leaving and during like the second half of the intermission and the host came up on stage and was like asking people questions. And like the last one I heard before we were leaving, they were like, cheer if you just had sex in the bathroom. One person was like, oh, I thought I did. But then I didn't.
Starting point is 00:26:19 I forgot there was a there was a bachelor party where all the dudes were dressed up as that's a fun bachelor activity. It was OK. Actual just for last show. The dudes were all dressed up as as Bond villains. Oh, get fucking in the bachelor was Bond. And yeah, yeah. And like one dude had like the cat on his arm like like to exactly.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah, that's pretty good. Why did I have that? Jesus. Do it again. Oh, maybe one day it was sponsored by Archer. Now we're in there. That's true. That's true.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Now's the time. Just do it anyway. I'm going to get married a second time. Like, no, no, no, I mean, not getting married. I mean, renew vows. Oh, what? Second time again, fucking whooped when I go. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:27:11 You play anything else? I played a couple of things and I watched some things. I well, we played a lot of Jackbox and I go to well. That's the funny things that I missed out on the transition from you don't know Jack into Jackbox. I didn't really pay attention. So I had always had you. You don't know Jack from back in the old PC days and I got the 360 release
Starting point is 00:27:32 when that eventually happened. But then I kind of stopped paying attention to it and like now the whole thing with the phone stuff and whatnot is that's fucking genius. I'm super late to the party. Yeah, it was exciting because you're like, oh, I've only played Jackbox one time and I only have this one and I'm sitting there like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like on by the third one. Yeah, they're they're on they're on like, yeah, they're on five.
Starting point is 00:27:50 We got you play other games aside from Jack. You don't know Jack like in the collection. So, okay, because I wonder what your opinions are. We played fake in it. We played. Yeah. So and so we play fake in it. We played monster.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Zero. Seeking monster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one is cool, but it was real confusing. Takes a while. Takes a while because you're just texting each other with like real flirts. We fake it. It's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:28:16 We had the number pressures game and Willie was the faker. It was so bullshit. The very first question was like, how many beers does it take to get you drunk? And Willie's just like everyone. I'm like, huh, and Rachel and then they're like, huh. And then boys like zero. And I'm like, what? He's like, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:28:34 That's my job. They all looked at me and it's okay. It's a game where not everyone gets the question. One person gets no question and you have to answer by holding up your fingers. They got to try to blend in. And you don't know. And I didn't know what the question was. So I had to just fake it, right?
Starting point is 00:28:50 So it's like, so it's like you and everyone gets a thing to their device saying how many beers does it take to get you drunk? Yeah, they hold up a number and I just hold up my fist like no. Yeah. Right. And, you know, I was trying to think of like, I'm like, should I say none? Or should I say it never happened? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:08 Or should I say it doesn't happen? Because you don't even know what context like time frame to describe, you know. I've never been drunk. So yeah, they're like zero. It takes you none. You know, I'm drunk all the time and then the one right after and then the one later was like, how many slices of pizza have you had this week? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:26 And like, they're all like, oh, two, two, one. And then like, I held up like five and they're like, really, Mr. Keto, you can eat the pepperoni and the cheese. Sure. Oh, man. So Jackbox is good. Just just really quickly, just because you mentioned it on the current current new season of Jersey Shore.
Starting point is 00:29:46 One of them is super thin because he's on keto for like years now and they all get greasy pizzas in Miami and that's 4 a.m. They're all in it and they see the guy. He's just going like this, like scraping off the thing. Camera zooms in on and they're like, eat the fucking pizza. You're not the worst Italian I've ever seen this place. I took. I took Austin and friends out to like greasy pizza place to the pain.
Starting point is 00:30:10 They'd like way out in the farm country. He's okay. We took him out to the farm country for one of those farm pizzas. So I was okay. I was good. I had it. I really enjoyed it. I ate just enough.
Starting point is 00:30:20 I stood up and everyone looked after after eating the pizza. Everyone looked down. Everyone looked decompressed. Like they were ready to just pass into the night. You have to be careful. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Yeah. It's really you were like. And I and I like just did toppings. Yeah. Yeah. So wolf that stuff though. That was fucking good though. Glad you enjoyed.
Starting point is 00:30:44 I'm leaving early to go there. Actually peace. Yeah. Yeah. I watched. It's a really cool anime that Jeff turned me on to called the place beyond the universe. It's cute.
Starting point is 00:30:55 It's fun name and it's about. Basically girls going on adventures or trying to have an adventure and then like Antarctica. Fuck it. We're going. Okay. Let's go. Sure.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And it's and it was cute and fun. A bold adventure. Yeah. And I enjoyed that and it seems like a pretty interesting series that's going to go places. So I'm going to stick with that for a bit. I had a it's a very like one of those things where it's like every once in a while.
Starting point is 00:31:20 We're just going to cut to fucking money and you're like. Oh my God. That money come from. Like money. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Occasionally just dollar bill filters rolling down the crunchy roll screen guess of like Shane McMahon is doing his little shuffle. The Snoop Dogg gift. It was goes pretty fucking like yeah some really nice stuff in there. I love your name. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Right. That's good. And I watched I love dogs the new Wes Anderson movie. Oh fuck. That's yeah. That's good stuff. It's Wes Anderson doing claymation again. Well Wes Anderson directs the script and has a bunch of slaves
Starting point is 00:32:05 do the thing. He doesn't show up for months. Oh story there for fantastic Mr. Fox. There was like I want to take controversy but a thing where he's like it's so hard to work on this and like bitch you don't do anything. You directed it like you look at the footage but it's the guys
Starting point is 00:32:24 that are there for like 12 hours a day under a hot baking light like moving all day like a director usually is there all day but for this he doesn't really need to so I don't know what is like Isle of Dogs dogs has a lot of lot of toiling you can tell a lot of toiling it's frame by frame I like saw some of the production and it's incredibly smooth. Yeah it doesn't feel like they took shortcuts you know but
Starting point is 00:32:46 it's it's fucking incredible it's really really good the story is great and it's also a lot darker than the average Wes Anderson movie like not just in terms of color pellet because the color palette is darker but like in terms of story and content like it's like whoa there's some really know that yeah it's a lot heavier in a lot of places but it's a very very good movie I recommend I really want to go see yes I'm and like I don't want to crack the nut open too
Starting point is 00:33:11 heavy but quite frankly like the accusations of cultural appropriation need to just go just please go because it's ridiculous there's they they strike me as as really absurd like now they've seen the movie especially now having seen it right and seeing like it is respectful and it is it is simply a story taking place in Japan the end you know there's there's a lot of like ridiculous stuff being said about it but it's it's a very good movie I highly recommend I mean that
Starting point is 00:33:38 was like mostly written by people who hadn't seen the movie before the movie came out surprising and in any case the it's it's what I call tears welling up but not falling the film because like every 10 minutes someone in the movie does that or and you're right there with them okay so it's like big stop motion animation tears so it's like Miyazaki tears yeah they're hefty they're big ol hefty that means I'm gonna cry both and you're not you're gonna then you're gonna
Starting point is 00:34:09 go home and you're gonna like squeeze Zach super hard like well yeah I mean I'll do that anyway but really really hard okay sure then um yeah I guess uh well you know Legend of Galactic Heroes continues that's that's that's it's it's incredible yeah and you know when I have when I finish it how close are you to finishing I'm 75% through okay so I'm almost there but then there's some movies to watch to order yeah alright those prequel movies there's some movies that
Starting point is 00:34:36 were actual prequels yes I forgot but man oh man do those enemies sure admire each other those tactical badasses they are up and up and up he's still recovering from being defeated hmm a slumber beast has a rosin two alarms yeah you did get in front of a mic asshole I blew through two alarms plug yourself in over here I'm gonna tell you what to do plug your fucking headphones in oh man I really want to see I love dogs though yeah you got you gotta get it on that Matt what you do
Starting point is 00:35:18 and I'll see Island of Dogs I chose to see rampage instead I also want to see rampage and the the accounts of cultural appropriation culture are also unfounded in this film good God bless Tom aka mom on Twitter who basically was like describing it nailed it yeah it's it's just the feelings of it's like a South Park situation right where it's like children with the concept of kaiju's and monsters fighting I'm fucking in let's go then you're like 16 to 19 I don't want
Starting point is 00:35:55 to be associated with this and then adults fuck yeah I'm in let's go so what's happening what's oh well it's like I took my I have a go back to your microphone and then I looked over at Austin I'm like oh did I take the microphone no I have to talk I'm Austin is using a wireless mic oh that's crazy like a host I've set him up he's good to go I can take the mic and leave actually I'm so behind the time you can take that into the bathroom and take a shit should I do that we
Starting point is 00:36:23 can hear it we can we can we can judge your kegel strength oh yeah yeah that's probably smart is that gonna be the new name of the podcast well now I'm right okay a section a bit strength where we test our kegels on microphone you guys can see that's a good kegel you know what the rock probably has a really good one bit probably less good than you think anyone who's got that extra muscle that goes right of the V the at the bottom of the abs that's a tendon man yeah that's
Starting point is 00:37:01 like that that's a fucking kegler right there you're right that's a real kegler is it just me or is he just getting larger the rock when you take steroids it's usually the is he a story boy it's a pro wrestler for movie purposes like he doesn't have to do any like what if like things anymore what if he's actually really small and they just CG'd him bigger I don't think I don't think that's true I mean I don't know like he doesn't you know it's like what's the point of
Starting point is 00:37:25 taking the performance like when you don't have to really performance enhance it you're right well unless it was just for your muscles don't tear anymore and you're not doing moves anytime he flexes when the rock is when the rock came back to John Cena the first thing that happened is his muscles tore apart okay oh as a movie star and we're not like he's definitely doing all the heavy workouts and stuff but I feel like he seems like the kind of guy would be obsessed with like
Starting point is 00:37:49 real house is a really Magoo yeah yeah okay I didn't I gotta be I didn't think so these are all assumptions huge big big and allegations by looking at pictures from one year apart they are not assumption maybe know what maybe is if we could all get up real close and watch him perform a kegel that's when we'll know that's too close that's a deciding factor I don't want to be that I can call him up you gotta get you know like from the microphones distance you gotta fist a
Starting point is 00:38:15 fist away you gotta get a fist away from his kegel then you gotta watch it and then you'll know spectators for does that does that does that not sit well with you a fist away from the kegel or from the end of the rock from those are different because when you you're saying you have a fist away from the kegel like the mic needs to be next to his kegel you need a fist away from the V from the V okay you know as you're watching it flex that's in the general like
Starting point is 00:38:51 hot zone area that's that would one might be able to call that a hot zone I don't know what's a grosser conversation this or this fucking controller yeah let me touch that all you fool no it's fine I want to it was empty we're keeping that Jaguar controller around just for fun just to remind people oh this is so bad just in case video games were feeling like a little too happy recently you gotta pick that up everyone yeah yeah you gotta remind yourself how was this
Starting point is 00:39:19 is the I can't go into detail about what I thought of rampage because you'll have to visit the Matman muscles flophouse tonight to see my full uploaded review of that which that's following on the tales of the retrospective yes that's smart you tease them yeah but I will say that I enjoyed it more than Pacific Rim uprising in the sense that I was not disappointed like you know what I mean like going from Pacific Rim one to two oh this isn't as good but since there's this
Starting point is 00:39:50 is the standalone rampage movie made over the video game rampage what can you expect well that's the thing did it was was the rock right in throwing that shade on oh man yes it's a better movie than do okay I can say that which the doom Twitter reply Dwayne that's so petty doom Twitter account it's not it's perfect I know it's because you either runs the doom video game things like no man is a good movie it's you hear me you can hear the tone you know but I enjoyed it it's not
Starting point is 00:40:27 great filmmaking by any stretch of the imagination is bad dialogue there's some bad acting but the comedian is in the movie Jeffrey the guy who plays the comedian yeah slash the dude that hits people on the walking dead vegan G get whatever his name is because I'm watching the officer Meekins yeah Meekins there it is he choose up the scenery because he's just a Texas cowboy and he just says dumb things like that only they would know okay like only he would understand people like
Starting point is 00:40:57 what he's like yeah didn't you know about the 30 foot wolf weirdo is on the Internet of calling him Ralph I feel like everyone that family member though yeah I don't know that's them you know I'm the the the boom and how are like that yeah yeah that because I'm thinking of I didn't say words oh no you didn't you lie I'm thinking of boom and how are and I'm thinking of the sheriff from the Tarantino movies yeah yeah yeah yeah just or what is coming out of your now when you say that
Starting point is 00:41:28 that's that's like accent agnostic right because if you see if you if you apply like a French accent to that yeah I got like Rodriguez yeah yeah yeah not Tarantino everybody out East is I don't understand yeah well like I mean that's just me and Montreal I don't know what the fuck's being said around me so yeah it's true enough I love I love when they've come up to you and they ask you question and you panic just look at everybody one question he gets is do you have any change please
Starting point is 00:41:54 I'm dying and losses like and then someone near him one of us says no they're not dying how many times that happened last night three with us so after I left you guys yeah like another three times just from the subway station by your house to where you are yeah it was icy and I was sliding around and they were sliding and did you kick him off with your spurs and they get off in the Yankee Queen it was closer to Yuri on ice okay yeah okay so we were all harmoniously sliding around
Starting point is 00:42:26 into traffic it was a good time right but yeah if you like giant monster movies I thought rampage was was decent it's a good it's a good Netflix thing to watch or whatever what's going on nothing okay just thinking about the hobos as you always are aside from that I also saw annihilation which I can't recommend that to everyone in this room more please go see it okay when I was like everyone should watch it's weird Nani all watched X Machina and I thought you'd both
Starting point is 00:43:00 really enjoy it X Machina is really good X Machina is really good I actually liked annihilation a little bit less than X Machina but you don't know annihilation I'm not no I can't I would like from the same director and it's like Natalie Portman and she goes into into this weird phenomenon like this bubble that's just building up on near Florida the Florida Everglades and the military doesn't know what to do every time they send in anything drones other teams just
Starting point is 00:43:28 no one ever comes back so when you go in there that this isn't a spoiler it's in the trailer that evolution is speeding up that bear monsters pretty cool there's a bear monster in there that's really cool so is this like that new because I'm like just that tease without even getting into anything about the content of what is in there yeah so it's yeah the the original trailer has a bit where she leans down looking at a crocodile or something is DNA is mixed with the but you know
Starting point is 00:43:59 it's really cool it has one of the weirdest like I don't know if I like it ending where it's really strange and different I'm like this is cool and I'm like I don't understand what exactly sleep on it sleep on it for a little bit no I slept on it okay I saw like we go but I still really recommend it like Pat said the bear creature in there is fucking fucked up a plus yeah if you would like to go see it you can see it on Netflix in other countries but North America that's weird
Starting point is 00:44:34 because they have a really fucked up deal where it played exclusively on Netflix in everywhere but North America and North America had a theatrical run and I I saw it I was in the theaters because it was still playing next to the one next to me but I hate these deals now I was really like to watch reboot I was reading up on like why that is and apparently like it hit Netflix in like the UK where I think the production company is because UK theaters are like
Starting point is 00:45:05 this shit's too weird yeah and it'll go over theater people's head so fuck it throw it on Netflix you catch that my hero season three started I did that first episode is terrible oh it's a clip show damn I got it's a clip it's just a show started so don't even bother with the first one I think Boku no Hero is kind of like garbage and yeah yeah yeah is that yeah what like why would you say that you do you want to I can't I'll ever yeah it's so like generic shonen it's just
Starting point is 00:45:35 so I'm being pushed generic show it's it's a generic shonen like yeah it's like Naruto hey they way is like Naruto but then the part is after that is that but it's like but it's good yeah remember when Naruto was doing the good do you remember that have you fucking watched it I watched like three episodes that's all I need are you and then was the first three of did you fucking who cares was it random episodes of the first three episodes hey we talked about
Starting point is 00:45:57 this before this started can we not do this now can you are you still but what are you seriously like are you just gonna shit on like something you haven't fucking watched yeah I mean I've seen a little bit how much is a little bit three episodes was a three was a three random episodes no it was the first three episodes in sequence and what's the problem what I mean like didn't you see when he punched that guy punch the guy every every single day that I've hung
Starting point is 00:46:20 out with you this week you have fucking start it's like like I don't know what your fucking beef is but it's a fucking good show if you just gave it a chance like I don't get I don't get what your problem you ever have like people tell you yes something yes constantly yeah oh yeah oh yeah but then when you watch it and it's good you're happy but what if you or at the very least you can stop talking about it like not bringing it up every fucking hour that you're in town okay
Starting point is 00:46:49 we get it well then maybe I should just fucking get out of town maybe you should get the fuck out of town get out of town fucking get the fuck off the podcast asshole and take this shit piece of shit mother fucker that's my microphone give me my mic back my fucking you want to go give me my at the very least get the fuck out shit taste carefully pull it off because you really don't want to destroy equipment for this bit don't destroy my shit I bought that by Austin
Starting point is 00:47:24 by Austin piece of shit you have fun with your bad opinions I yeah yeah you will watch Naruto first it's important for the story God all right really difficult to pull these when you don't want to destroy I mean get the fuck out you're fucking southerner just let me carefully clip this off what's that the south will rise again oh no already gone oh shit all right let me let me turn and then we find out that like in that little kerfuffle we broke all the podcast yeah all of it
Starting point is 00:48:01 okay we're good we're good there's a lot of people going around don't like academia I think it's just a reaction to the the other called Liars yeah I think it's the undertale effect to solve yeah oh fuck that's another thing my hero ones justice because we don't know who's going to like this thing we don't know if anyone judging by that box art no one yeah that's a bad box art but it's just like are we really doing this going back to this age where yes we don't know if anyone
Starting point is 00:48:33 knows this thing so we have to change the name to something that people might buy because we're afraid that people might not buy it if it has the word academia in it like what do you what what is that about yeah I'm gonna buy here academia game they're calling it my hero ones justice they're in the removing the word academia and I'm like my only thought is that perhaps that's because they're looking at it going people who don't know what this is are gonna think the word academia is weird like
Starting point is 00:48:55 lame but people who do know what it is will buy it anyway you know what I'm thinking I'm thinking that Jimmy Jimmy buy games is going to go in and he's going to see this weird fuck anime game with this bad box art and go all thank God it's not about school and then buy it yeah I and it's like but it's like it's already a product that has been like licensed and it's over here and it's on crunchy roll and it's you know I mean there's a dog knows its true name they don't get fooled
Starting point is 00:49:25 it so that's that's it it's annoying that they did it's an option select there's absolutely no downside and I like I can't think exactly and that's that's why I like that's why it kind of bugs me is because it's the idea that they looked at it and went yeah if you care you're buying it anyway yeah and if you don't then you might be scared by this name so we're taking it away there is something to be said about how horribly designed the box art actually is a pretty lame box
Starting point is 00:49:51 it's bad I mean it's just you look at it in your mind kind of just can't process it and then and then I have to make the counterpoint to that which is kind of said to me which is like who even sees a box anymore most people that's that's becoming less true though thumbnail on a digital store for that's true to yeah but like I'm going it's like taking me back to the days of I my me strawberry eggs you know but like take take thing you like with title that is like
Starting point is 00:50:24 particular and then imagine if it was like we're going to change that title so that people who don't know what it is might have a better shot at not being scared away. I thought Berserk was supposed to be called sort of the Berserk yes or Berserk whatever yeah yeah yeah just called Berserk I'm like oh this must be like an anime adaptation of that amazing game to be fair sort of the Berserker is a really cool name to I also agree I'm in fact I'm equally happy with
Starting point is 00:50:51 both versions of that yeah for me one final thing I mentioned it last week but I played a bunch of Friday the 13th killer puzzle and I you know I don't play those types of bye bye Austin our friend bye go back to fucking Texas can you give us a yeehaw for once yeah it is very authentic the first time he ever fired a gun he hit the target twice dead center wait what one bullet shattered how did he shot a fucking to one of them clays and he shot it and he hit it dead center
Starting point is 00:51:28 twice and he's like oh no one bullet oh no two okay and it was like cuz that was real cuz you said the first time he shot it the first he hit it twice the first shots he took okay hit the same target in dead bullseye center very confused and it was like oh you're secretly Wesley from wanted but except it's all that guy fucking from the from the video game but it's all Billy the Billy the kid jeans going through is his fucking I don't know the last thing is Francis fuck
Starting point is 00:51:59 yeah but the point is is that like he shot a gun in his hands were like I know this feel you know and he landed it and he was like fucking air and black over here whole horse in it I want to shoot a gun in the air I've done that you have I went hunting with my dad a bunch awesome did you get to shoot straight up in the air I did in celebration no like you bang bang a little bit fucking somebody Sam like a pistol oh right anyway yeah I played a Friday 13th killer puzzle
Starting point is 00:52:30 and I'm like usually not into these kind of like it's on steam but these types of like little like you know hitman go yeah like that and this is like this where you're on a board I saw screenshot yeah and you're Jason and all you do is swipe your finger and he can only go in the like one line all the way to something stops him so as you go on you need to kill everyone on the map and then eventually you'll start getting things like oh there's a cat here and your mom your mom
Starting point is 00:52:56 severed head is your hint button should be awesome and you don't kill cats you're a nice boy so if you accidentally kill a cat it's game over if you see that you can only do so many moves you're fucked so you just restart and quickly goes back and there's a button that you press it and that's all it does and I'm like okay this is good and at the start of every map it says all these campers must die kill them Jason and you're prompt to confirm is yes mom and then be like Jason it's cold
Starting point is 00:53:27 down make sure to wear your sweater and you get like a big goose jacket was I know mom and that's a fun way of doing it single time you get a new thing that's a fun way of doing you complete the first kind of stage it's like a spinning newspaper office is Jason convicted of murder and then you're being cuffed away and sent into jail she's like Jason you have to bust out of jail I know ma and you bust out of jail and go back so there's like a little bit of a story
Starting point is 00:53:55 it's a really really fun game I haven't found myself in there as a VIP kill or anything but there every time you get like a prompt to kill someone like a more elaborate cut scene manner there's like a prompt that's like the kill zone and you have to stop the button on the kill zone you'll get an animation every time you get a little bit of XP and you unlock a new Jason costume and there's like 30 they're they're the action figure Batman's toxic strike Jason winter assault
Starting point is 00:54:22 desert commando desert zombie like everything is there and yes Jason's there so I played that like actually a whole bunch and like wore out my iPad like it wore out the battery I was playing it for like just whatever so yeah it's basically it for me cool and you sure I played Warframe on the weekend with plague and play as an asshole had that go what's new though that's not very new you know what's do what's funny is when play gets tired and his explanations
Starting point is 00:54:51 start to fucking make less sense oh they make much more sense and he just realizes that your brain is melting so he just decides to play into it okay and he has something like Dark Souls or Warframe to confuse you with sure sure sure I love that guy and I played and I watched and I watched a shit ton of clips from annihilation not the movie oh that's weird okay it's I have this problem where I'm completely completely completely disinterested in a movie like the like when you
Starting point is 00:55:23 were talking about annihilation that woolly and you were saying oh no don't tell me the concept just tell me the the briefest synopsis right it's like well that that part didn't interest me at all right the just the others the bubble okay right so when I saw somebody on Twitter go man that bear monster from annihilation was the shit and had a production photo of the side of the bears face yeah I went okay that's really fucking amazing but for me though there could be a million
Starting point is 00:55:55 like knowing that's interesting too but that but there's a million reasons why that could exist in its own whereas like just the what is happening inside of that shape yeah is a huge curiosity to me on that's not the that's not the mystery yeah I know marketing right no no no for I get that part but I I'm just saying as on a personal level that's where my curiosity gets the hardest and that then like afterwards it's softer for like okay well I guess let's see what if so but like weird to have
Starting point is 00:56:22 a romance sorry romance between Queen Amidala and Poe Dameron that's weird yeah that's to me right and to take into looking at another way I'm way more curious on the outside going literally what is the matrix yeah as opposed to how do we stop and we never found out yeah no but you know how do we stop the AI I'm not saying that things like that don't grab me because the matrix did I was saying like that original trailer whatever so I had I haven't watched the trailer so I was
Starting point is 00:56:54 just it's okay so then you're like oh I'll check out the bear scene and the bear scene super super fucked up yeah and then because YouTube's recommendation system is the worst thing in the world it's pretty bad I go oh what's that other monster and then I click on that and that was the ending to the movie oh shit okay yeah and then I'm like oh I just watched the ending to the movie you did the I might as well go and find little bits and pieces and fill in what the fuck
Starting point is 00:57:29 hat so I did watch about half of that movie out of sequence at least it's unfortunate that your habits did that to you is all I can say and the algorithm or my habits plus algorithm my habits by himself find the algorithm by itself awful put together it's a little common but the start yes exactly like the start of this was the same thing that makes you go like wiki Jojo parts yes but then afterwards the website was like we're gonna feed so imagine imagine if somebody told you hey
Starting point is 00:58:02 let's take for example I patch Wolf's video on why you should watch hero academia right and I patch Wolf's video on hero academia he shows the fight between all my no mu that is about two thirds of the way it's like episode chair well this right there yeah that fight super cool and it looks great and he builds it up so you go hey I'll check that out that mentality is is great as a hook if the original hook doesn't get you but then you add it to the YouTube recommendation
Starting point is 00:58:37 system and it's just like I'll have fight and fall and it's like who's like the worst part is when things are Matt you would understand it's the the the the part is called encounter with the yeah right and it's like it doesn't say ending in brackets it's just encounter with the thing well final scene there's yeah there's a there's a secret like there's a secret meter here that's affected by like how much spoilers matter to you as a person as an individual anyway and you know I think
Starting point is 00:59:11 that's going to change whether or not that completely obsessed you or not the wall it's it's as I've gotten older that that ants that the answer to that question has gone from don't talk to me like like how you used to be your little softer now but you're still you want that purity well it's because it's because it's like like cold beyond like the coldest you can possibly get is always my most preferred experience to the point where like when I said I saw Isle of Dogs I had no idea
Starting point is 00:59:41 it existed and I like Wes Anderson I had not heard about the movie I had not seen a single trailer I had no context for what it was you to a trailer like two months ago yeah I didn't you didn't watch it so you know and then I walked in hearing like hey let's go do it okay and then I was like this is awesome not knowing anything about it I heard less about Isle of Dogs going like leading up to when it came out like I only knew about it like maybe two weeks before I was talking
Starting point is 01:00:09 Austin yesterday in the car and he described how somebody he works with was like hey you should check out Undertale like three days before the game came out and then he got the game the day the game came out and beat it the day the game came out that was it and it's like how lucky yeah right so no trust me I'm still in there most of the time but as I've gotten older it's like if the thing doesn't interest me at all at all at all at all and I will never watch it encounter
Starting point is 01:00:42 it play it otherwise what is the harm of seeing the cool part right right yeah and the problem that happens is most of the time I might my expectations are born out of like yeah this thing this horror movie that I was interested in was actually super awful but that one cool monster shot was cool right but every now and then it's something like an I like all this looks like it was completely on it was a completely out of the wheelhouse it would have never entered it but then you
Starting point is 01:01:14 found out in the process that it was in the wheelhouse yeah okay and it's the worst with movies because they're the shortest there's another movie currently going around everyone's like fuck it's a quiet place by John lot of people talking about a quiet place haven't seen a trailer don't know what it's about just hearing right word of just hearing recommendations that's another one like here's like the most basic thing which is it's the future yeah oh no it's the future this family is
Starting point is 01:01:39 trying to survive in a world where any noise will immediately alert monsters that will kill you please stop please stop there no but that is the trailer okay that is the only we have to we have to be able to tell you the trailer yeah okay thank you that's the rules we've all decided to live with that's fair that's fair and the other the other thing is I saw some reviews it's like this movie is like astonishingly actually quiet for like a half hour at a time so people are
Starting point is 01:02:07 talking about that's the only other thing Allah here is a quiet place is good I was like what is that and then this I there was a thing that said it's a horror film and then there was a thing talking about how the noises people make in a group are amplified are being amplified heavily by this movie and so I'm like that's really interesting what is going on here this seems really experimental it seems unfortunate because I've seen nothing but praise but it's
Starting point is 01:02:35 like this movie sucks in the theater I bet or it depends no it no it's a complete or a crash it could it's a complete crash shoot but you have way more control over your own house yeah yeah yeah cuz there's there's definitely a level of like are you seeing it on cheapy Tuesday yeah with the baby I saw somebody complaining on Twitter and the rose there's a guy chitchatting for like 20 minutes yeah in the quietest movie ever made yeah and it's like it just like
Starting point is 01:03:01 your sense of like it just it really takes a crowd and Alamo draft house film yeah kick the fuck out if they're absolutely you got to go pay it for the draft house on that cuz like yeah you have that problem you have that like everyone's got a different level of like self awareness in a crowd in terms of like that noise making in a theater type thing not everyone does though no no there's a level I'm saying okay sorry whether or not people are totally unaware of their own noise
Starting point is 01:03:29 like I used to be like 15 years ago like some people are maxed out where there's just like there's nothing to them that is ever considered too loud you ever see somebody take a phone call yeah it's outrageous absolutely and there's also folks that are like they're like they don't enjoy movies unless they're cracked quick like cracking jokes at their friends with it and there's folks that are how would you it's like they don't see the the go the movie is not a big deal it's
Starting point is 01:03:59 just happening in front of you you're out with your friends yeah I'm hanging with my friends and there happens to be a thing playing in front of us and that's it's like a mentality shift I don't know why like actual actual adults like late 20s 30s would ever like that's something you evolve out that's something you grow out of just like when out like we're all like 15 whatever it's like yeah fun movies sometimes most of the time and then it's like no you realize
Starting point is 01:04:24 that like if I'm going to go see a movie I want to in a theater I want to be engrossed by I don't want any distractions especially something we're really anticipating so it's like when I see an adult that's like yelling like you know a couple or having a chat like I want to say that's going I'm going to go a little weird on this one but like Matt as I've gotten older I'm turning 32 and just just a few days right I have noticed that you remember that feeling when you looked at the
Starting point is 01:04:54 adults in your life but you were a child and they said I will when you're older all that shit right now and you when we were 17 to 25 you were waiting for that moment that you became an adult it was just going to suddenly happen and it was all going to click into place and your brain would just go like I get it now right but it was actually like super super gradual when do you think you're going to get there might be a little bit okay well no I'm a lot further along than I was
Starting point is 01:05:21 to fifth didn't you know that right as a joke um nobody wants to hang out with the fucking version of me back in Saizia but uh I don't like that I would hate that guy now um but as long as you're playing third strike off the fuck up the only it's the only good thing um saving this guy's a fucking asshole but it's fun to play third strike with him thank god for that but what if that gradual process was so gradual that it might as well not be happening and there are people around us
Starting point is 01:05:57 all over everywhere all the time that are encountering that situation yeah like I'm certain you've met somebody from your former life like you know the olden days that you ran into them and you're like wow you're exactly the same as the person you were in high school and that's I've never I've never met anyone again from high school while I'm picking that as an example right but it's like hey remember when you were a dumb ass 10 years ago no you're still the exact same dumb ass with
Starting point is 01:06:31 no change whatsoever growing up as gradual and some people do it fast and some people don't yeah there definitely was at least two people that like just they like they're standing still in high school and like things are happening around them things that the background swishing and they're they're being the person they are and then suddenly after the graduation robes come off the prison robes just go yeah and then the bars slam in front of them and then they go what now
Starting point is 01:07:00 I'm definitely not going to try and sit here and fucking portray me or either of you as the fucking bastion of maturity as I as I am late to my video game podcast that's correct but yeah no some people just never get it some people will never they will be 95 years old in the theater chatting with their 95 year old buddy but he was skeleton can't believe the guy went in there didn't he know he'd get killed like I don't know that's why I think old people sell it or checking the
Starting point is 01:07:35 phone or you know doing the like doing I'd love to see like a 95 year old guy on his phone chatted up oh man in a not crazy way because there is that crazy guy that's always I wish that sits in every I wish there was a phone annihilating aura mm-hmm yeah it's called the Alamo draft well there's that right there's all and then there's a call pass there's also if they if a person gets called out on there they take away your phone and they rip up your ticket and ask you to leave
Starting point is 01:08:03 there's there's also the the what you're going to call it it's the the the Chappelle bags where you fucking throw the phone in the bag that you can't open until you leave that's pretty good either but I like like maybe we need to think in another way because like much I wish we had an animal draft house style thing and it'd be awesome right but like there's definitely a level of it where it's like but for some folks that's not what they would like right so maybe there's another
Starting point is 01:08:29 way we can do this we're like a movie pit instead of cheapy Tuesdays we can just go Thursdays we know we can take that right like babies phones all in Tuesday all everything goes in the bag right the movies free come see the movie for free and you love like a bouncing bag of baby you can pay five dollars to eat from the popcorn trough yeah right like maybe there's a way to just drain the sewage out instead of trying to pick the the you know what I mean the more the the choice
Starting point is 01:09:01 morsels and put them up over here in the sewage out as I've gotten older I've been so much more comfortable referring to people I don't like as like just wildly disparaging serfs such as like the garbage people yeah oh yeah oh yeah no no hey dude have you the Tuesdays free beer all day at the theater you know that you know that time somebody threatened a stab water got a buck you remember that story guess what day it was it was you know when you you get on the plane or like
Starting point is 01:09:31 in security they're like everything in the everything in the trade yeah like that type of mentality when you walk into a theater it's like babies in a bag yeah phones whatever you got you got like you got the food trough up top but right beneath it you got the barf trough yeah and you gotta just you know choose between the two as necessary so yeah want to see the quiet place right I think I'm misunderstanding you have the you have your seat right you've got right in front
Starting point is 01:09:57 of your seat where you're like imagine if you would like eventually there's a point where they're like okay the theater movie starting now and then like a roller coaster ride where you click down the metal bars okay the food trough just clicks in front of you right where your face is okay but a little bit beneath that there's a second shelf of a bar that's the barf trough for when you've overeaten very fast because you're a subhuman animal and you can't help it and all you
Starting point is 01:10:21 have to do is lean your head a little bit closer to your body and then oh and yep you're good to go movie movie time that's a theater from the future oh yeah honestly get them all in there the ideal scenario which would be too expensive and illegal and immoral to implement would be the seats are spaced just a little bit farther apart so that each chair is like in a unique so that when the seats are hooked up to decibel sensors and determine any noise over breathing
Starting point is 01:10:53 the entire chair just falls into a pit and like and then like dumps you out of the theater into a into a flight a big big big dumpster where you have to wait for the length of the movie with all the other dumpster people the chair and that sounds similar to the brown note and the person in noise cancel or even but yeah you could definitely have a little chart where someone the guide back in the projector room sees like like EQ bars going for every chair and they're like oh yeah
Starting point is 01:11:25 3G's got to go there's no shortage of ways this could so the worst part about that is you know the first implementation is going to be not not like very specific so it's going to be like it looks like this row or sections being a little loud we can't quite pin it down just dump them all into the furnace maybe we could even maybe some of them are quiet the entire row listen they should be policing their friends maybe you could even have it like screens and speakers that made it so that
Starting point is 01:11:53 the as soon as you made noise the film stopped occurring for you man that because the screen was a blank from your angle and the sound was bounced around you and you were just sitting in the dark but you have to be quiet for a certain amount of time before you're allowed to experience the movie again yeah the important point to be made here is all gold Matt you're you're you're you're what's the word your wide-eyed optimism about why haven't these people grown up why can't they be
Starting point is 01:12:22 courteous and empathetic towards their fellow moviegoers is like man most of those people like the other worst is like oh they grew up and they just grew up into an asshole and they don't care right and it's like some people are clearly born without the ability to empathize like there's like that you can't weed it out so that's why like solutions that we have outlined today should initiative we've outlined some people are born must be implemented on people are born without the
Starting point is 01:12:52 ability to empathize and others acquire it by watching too much anime I there's no there's no there's no line here it's just a slam okay what would it be happier for you if I said playing melee what's in the news well wait do we not have an ad yes is it time for ads let's take one thank God we need a second way out thank this week the friendcast is

Starting point is 01:16:52 oh man we got to do a video so bad before they start fixing it dude i said that they're gonna start fixing it real i said that they know we're on the case i said that to woolly the other night we were hanging out and i'm like hey woolly he's like what what are we recording that Radical Heights video he's like do we got to and i'm like yes woolly before the patch we do and it's getting patched now it's bad i don't think i don't think we got to get in there i don't think
Starting point is 01:17:18 there's much worry like they're definitely there should be documentation at the very least of like if there ever was like a best friends documentary it would be about our anti patch technology of like racing the clock i saw if possible uninstall patches and like and like and we pop the game in and then on day one we see the mandatory patch and we're like fuck and then the music goes to unexpectedly the best friends run into a hurdle what will they do next i recently
Starting point is 01:17:43 saw a tweet that i think was directed all of us but it would like it warmed my heart and it was like i think my favorite things but the best friends is that whenever they encounter some horrible bug they all like yell yeah and throw their arms up into the air like screaming with joy and i don't know why it's just natural i don't know we just do it i don't even explain why do we want there to be bugs are we happy that like i'm okay so this i think we're looking at a perfect a perfect
Starting point is 01:18:17 like like my knowledge if you would of the joy of finding a good bug on the test floor yeah the joy of an amazing video moment yes and the joy of oh man it's so much worse than we thought it was so here's i'm worse means better and just general hilarity if the bug is so it's really just the LP equivalent of an orgasm like like i never tested but i still have that reaction just as strong as you guys now like did i learn it from you and then you gotta dig around it once you
Starting point is 01:18:50 find it you're like oh we can we can we get Ray Mysterio to go through the floor right it's like yeah it is that would anyone remember us playing Russell mania 21 if not for that right right and and that's the thing is that it also steers the entire course of the video into a complete different direction yeah it's a new adventure a secret path has been unlocked unexpected and you just have to roll with it and almost always remember it sets the pace i remember when Matt
Starting point is 01:19:18 and i got a c unity and we made sure not to download any of the patches really get anything and we got almost nothing and we were so sad we were like especially when you're seeing when you're seeing like skeleton people's faces screaming off their heads floating eyeballs like why don't i get a lick of the brass bug ring but but but then there was star track yes and we didn't expect that that's what that's why we were responsible for creating Warframe directly good job
Starting point is 01:19:50 Matt you created Warframe i think like there was an actual thing where JJ Abrams like shit on the developers of star track saying like your game was so buggy i'd like to think that we had a small part of that the inside of Spock's pizza face you're welcome everyone was that made by digital extremes sure that's why we freed that's why i freaked out last time that joke is because digital extremes all like that was the last game they made before they decided to go all in on Warframe
Starting point is 01:20:20 isn't that because the total failure of that Star Trek game made them almost bankrupt that's why i'm saying that you created Warframe Matt that's fucked because our video had a small part in bombing that game which caused their company to almost go under research one well and it was absolutely made by digital extremes they also made i don't i don't doubt that i just want to look at it they also made the darkness too yeah when did the darkness to come out before that okay
Starting point is 01:20:49 that's because i was playing the darkness to a few days ago i was like wow this game is fucking awesome and i was yeah so i just want to see if that was after but you know you're saying it is but whatever um so okay what's actually in this yeah so well speaking of old-ass games like the darkness in Star Wars Star Trek whatever and Star Wars yeah yeah totally same same crap we got a whole big list of backwards compatibles some of these are fucking slam dunks coming to
Starting point is 01:21:18 the Xbox yeah like blanks blanks if you say it enough times he'll die somebody pointed out to me that this is the first time in 15 years that you're able to buy something that says Panzer Dragoon on it wow what there's no mobile like no soul sucker no Sega fucking pretends that shit doesn't exist it's never been re-released dragon but it comes in dragon came out on the Xbox one yeah fuck that it doesn't count that's not Panzer Dragoon that sure isn't it's like it's like saying
Starting point is 01:21:47 Mighty Never Nines a Mega Man game and Panzer Dragoon is a game that i have a personal history with in that i've never been able to play it and i keep trying to play it and every attempt i've ever made has failed so when you guys starting the co-tar two LP not soon so uh first of all um hey commentary about LP followed by when's thing that's not LP i have when sequel i have no one with a bullet every time i feel like i have talked for maybe two total hours about why a co-tar
Starting point is 01:22:17 two LP is not forthcoming in the near future well possibly ever um i mean this the short of it is really that uh even though this has been ported to this uh Xbox classics that's not with the restored content mod correct yeah and restore content mod has like 25% more game including the ending to the game it's always nice to have that yeah so the PC version has like minuscule tiny ass text that i have tried many times to enlarge somehow which means we can't play it over
Starting point is 01:22:46 there like it is it is totally unreadable there's no way you'd be able to read a single fucking thing of text so there's that um so until one of those things changes yeah there's not gonna happen um so what's the full list and you know well no and i was gonna just briefly comment on the um like also i'm tired of co-tar right now well it's it's it's more it's it's the same thing it's like what's want what's desired is the sequel to the current thing in front of me but
Starting point is 01:23:14 you don't know the and then as soon as that changes then what i want is the sequel to that thing but you'll actually be excited for the new hotness that me and woolly are going to be playing next or to i hope uh jade empire maro and battle front to blinks the time thing thing co-tor to mercenary starfighter mercenaries is fucking great ta conquers uh what you're gonna call it uh conquers that's the remake conquers furry creep orgy stray all humans and then it starts
Starting point is 01:23:45 to fade out breakdowns in there fucking break down break down republic commando and i see uh i see the reckoning that's either just the star wars game up there is either jedi outcast or jedi academy that other row that's under the reckoning that's old that's not a guided yeah these are all the old stuff okay which ninja gotten red dead redemption good portal to force unleashed sonic generation these ones these ones are enhanced these ones are already backwards gal or downloadable

Starting point is 01:24:49 really good yeah break down break down fucking break down break down break down break down break down had one of the greatest trailers ever it's not forces it's still under two and republic commando a lot many star wars no um oh wait no didn't uh didn't uh uh uh i'll help you and go fat already that was the ps4 it already showed up yeah that was yeah so that was when the ps4 started having their backwards compatible pay us ten dollars no matter what i remember stuff
Starting point is 01:25:25 but we were given achievements then they kind of just man microsoft blew their asses out on that and people have already hacked the ps4 and found that there's a completely perfect working ps2 emulator in there yeah that for some reason they don't use i can only imagine that they are going to use it as a selling point later on for some variants or whatever yeah i can only imagine speaking of emulators careful now emulate this podcast billy mitchell good
Starting point is 01:25:55 billy mitchell with his american flag tattoo tattoo yes it's a tattoo on his dick and his hot sauce yeah hey hey hey what do you think yeah three letters that he puts into the arcade machine are cheater ass dick you're not thinking hard enough lose a i've got to stay on top so what's been more incredible than king of kong has been the follow-up interviews over the years which i've followed oh really oh yeah various various podcast radio shows and such it's pretty incredible my favorite
Starting point is 01:26:32 part of this is the so the long story short is that billy mitchell turns out he broke the rules by playing all them donkey kongs on a goddamn emulator name i believe and the wrong people like the same person was there to verify the scores at every single record attempt now instead of like an official now the whole thing is that like i mean obviously if it's not on it basically that's like if it's not on an official arcade board it's not it's not verifiable so they
Starting point is 01:27:03 they consider it like no well also the reason this got found out is because people went over the footage and like this sequence of stages doesn't happen there's moments where it's like that couldn't let exactly and and you know if you recall the timing of the VHS tape reveal that showed up in the in the King of Kong originally is like USA USA my favorite part of all this is that this then led into my personal discovery that Billy Mitchell had a wonderful lawsuit a little while ago
Starting point is 01:27:40 against the adult swim and regular show yeah over a character that was clearly bit Billy Mitchell with a with a giant head who's a giant head with arms and legs just screamed at you who would scream and he was the storyline was about him cheating at playing arcade games see the funny part is that he doesn't scream at all ever yeah well this just ends there and says I'm sorry you feel this is a cartoon and he lost that real bad and the quotes from the judge overseeing the the
Starting point is 01:28:19 shit was so fucking funny because it's like Mr. Mitchell is sitting here and I could see on the screen that this character is a giant head monster who explodes the plaintiff is clearly not exploding in front of me right now why am I deciding this like the judge has completely checked out right it's hilarious so Billy Mitchell scores have been wiped from twin galaxies Billy Mitchell was basically more or less the villain of King of Kong the documentary about the getting
Starting point is 01:28:53 the high score was like oh that was edited to make him look yeah like you could you could try to edit it to not make him look like a villain and he'll still be a villain there's definitely yeah there's definitely been like people like like like there's a lot that came out after the fact to say the point out that like it's a the documentary is kind of like dramatized and you shouldn't take it shouldn't take it as possible but what is what is gospel is the gigantic
Starting point is 01:29:22 post that twin galaxies made is so exhausted about the details going into why and how they removed like this is like describing the theory of everything yeah and they want and I mean again you have to consider though that the same folks that give a shit about these scores are going to break down this level of exhaustive detail of the archives of the scores what happened and why they were considered suspect in peace this it is a treatise yes on yes on on scores and
Starting point is 01:29:56 Billy Mitchell and it is on a saleable in its depth and of course Billy Mitchell is yelling about it and say no more scores yeah there's actual update to this it's all yesterday he said I completely refute all these allegations and I will be bringing forth indisputable evidence that will clear my name and my scores will get I have the funniest part though direct quote here go for it from the from the lawsuit from the judge says GBF appears as a nonhuman creature a giant
Starting point is 01:30:27 floating head with no body from outer space while plaintiff is a human being the the the funniest part is that none of this is for the current score like no this is for the place for the record at the time this is just for the retroactive first person to accomplish general score so it's not even about being the runner up at the time has now been awarded the first million first person to a million yeah and good for that guy forget his name unfortunately because he's not a villain like
Starting point is 01:30:58 Billy but the current world record holder see we've that's his name the current world record holder is way past this score like these old men have nothing on that that's the main thing that's why he's fighting so hard well it's like well I have had my ass blown out blown out so hard so I might as well just repair the ass blow out damage and just that's all I can do now mop it up with this tie because you can't even get as good as the current champion the fucking tattooed
Starting point is 01:31:28 USA on my rectal door wouldn't I like that wouldn't the recourse ultimately be to just like get that good and then just be number one again so that it doesn't even matter that I need to cheat though I like he could totally be playing on maim and just no that's what have legit scores but it's like oh but you were playing on the vehicle that was not allowed at this competition so no that's what that's the ultimately like like the what shitty is that like Billy Mitchell and there's
Starting point is 01:31:57 another guy back in the past that cheated at something else that got blown up for it too I forgot what game it was but like these are really talented fucking dudes that actually like no he legit played and like crushed it yeah but the record I need more is what made him resort to cheating because he couldn't take the loss it is the equivalent of the older boxer afraid that they're going to lose their title start to taking the juice but you still were able to thumb in the eye
Starting point is 01:32:27 or but you were able to get the title and that means you were already fucking great yeah so that's some shit what if they were jackass at the start hey man USA I wonder if he cheats on his hot sauce yeah man like it's actually not hot there's no capsaicin in this it's just sriracha yeah he just bottles it from somewhere else as far as its own containers but yeah what what a great story everyone can enjoy it everyone can enjoy this this guy having the defining moment of his life in a kind
Starting point is 01:33:01 of sad way just taken away from him in an inglorious manner lot of work a lot of thoughts about large Travis strikes again being debuffed that I debunked excuse me apparently the game is deeper than it looks in a recent interview Jonathan Holmes for who wrote this article like asked me hey I'm going to go meet Suda at a hotel like can you go with me and I was like no I got to stay and do my thing like I can't leave and he's like okay I'm bringing him a cake and I'm
Starting point is 01:33:34 like what what he's like got to go buy in a text and I'm like okay so that birthday cake interview is all this yeah and he's just squeezing all this information out of him it's amazing that would have been good oh you got to meet him there right because you would have been there right yeah cool I did an interview with him and shit fun not Suda no I know Jonathan Holmes yeah yeah he's he's cool yeah all this shit is amazing so the yes nothing is prepping to make fun of
Starting point is 01:34:05 somebody in a bit oh you getting ready for it getting ready for that there's a tweet I want to make fun of at some point during this podcast got you okay well you hold that I am holding it all right so Travis checks again yeah basically there was a couple misconceptions that were like pointed out that one it's that saying it's a spin off and it's a different style from number here's three but apparently this is a like not in the style game and yes the team size is smaller but
Starting point is 01:34:31 it's still being treated as a full experience right and and there's a lot of there's a lot more depth to it than you'd think I guess just see plain as Travis or bad man will totally give a new story to follow which is cool when you see a game with the camera zoomed out like that my brain goes Xbox Live Arcade yeah totally so I'm surprised whether that's fair or not I'm surprised that that that we're being told that that's not the case although if the idea behind it was to make
Starting point is 01:35:00 a Smash TV like game and he did he did take influence from things like Hotline Miami Smash TV's influence is fucking infinite it's great it's nice yeah it says it's old as fuck though the camera will change based on the parts of the levels yeah but it doesn't necessarily imply this going to go back to normal heroes classic camera though honestly I just want another version of the theme because it is really good and I guess yeah it is true this is the first game he's
Starting point is 01:35:28 directed since normal heroes one really yeah he's everything else has been a production producer something else but he'd never he's only directed normal heroes one and then he produced all the rest and now he co directed no more heroes too but it was still so it's a bit of a like I get a little bit like a Tarantino ask like name is involved in a style of grass hopper game scenario but hands on directly this is the second one I'm really glad for this goes to this is still has the
Starting point is 01:35:56 idea of a game starring snow boot fucking sick yes please in mind that he already shared with journalists back in 2011 not sure no more heroes three specifically or another spin off in the franchise please so it's all those so it's basically all those handhelds then no more heroes and then that was it well like like flower sun and moon and even older but yeah that's what I mean right like and then that and then that was it didn't direct lollipop chainsaw didn't direct shadows of
Starting point is 01:36:25 the dance wasn't let it die direct killer is dead yeah he's always always always helping out figurehead or whatever but like that aesthetic has just become like a flavor that they run with as a grass as grasshopper I'm sad that they actually don't own lollipop chainsaw and unfortunately Warner Brothers does so they can't do much with it can't necessarily get Juliet in there yeah I'm amazed I'll need to watch the commentary tracking gardens of the galaxy where apparently James Gunn
Starting point is 01:36:49 just talks about suit of fifty one gets a name during the commentary fucking guards that's amazing I tried to briefly Google it and I couldn't find it I'm curious to hear what it says yeah but yeah lots and lots of nice little nuggets there of fun stuff yeah so that's coming along apparently somewhere in the interview says he would love to make a grasshopper fighting game grasshopper all stars and he wants Travis and smash well yeah but he's wanted that for years not going to
Starting point is 01:37:14 just reiterated it yeah well I mean if they all made it yeah they all and Travis little lopsided I mean somewhat do you want to touch versus downward fucking dog that's his down be that work it's not a move it's just like a dog he just yells it there's just this area of effect around if you just get damaged one yeah we talked about it briefly but my hero ones justice is the official Western name of the fighting game that's coming I feel like that trailer that came out tells me almost
Starting point is 01:37:53 nothing like there's not enough uncut footage to get much of a feel for it now again the guys that made gunslinger stratoes biking are good and the game looks very pretty there's a lot of cool stuff going on in terms of just like accuracy to the show and the way the characters look and stuff like that seems like it's probably going to be a pretty fun game to play it is extraordinarily obvious where the roster stops yeah at the end of that season when the arc pretty much closes out there yes
Starting point is 01:38:29 this is going to run all the way to the end of the hero killer stain are and that's about it which is a lot actually so yeah in fact there's multiple there's more villains in that you can use than I was like originally anticipating so yeah that's cool what is just weird is again like we're just guessing here but it's like the choice to just call it my hero ones justice just feels like yeah like the word I don't know like they think academia is going to think people think it's so weird but my
Starting point is 01:38:57 hero is like a saying in English so it might mean something to somebody or might not scare someone away I don't know I don't know in Japan it's called Boku no Hero Academia ones justice I really hope that the sidekick system that they're showing off where you call in characters as an assists is not an excuse to throw like half of the cast into a purely assist roles it seems like how the Naruto game started there's support characters would with the pencil SWAT which series
Starting point is 01:39:24 because Gecko Ninja Tyson had them playable as well like as soon as they came they showed up and the narrative at hero games also like pretty much had them playables and I'm thinking of something yeah but no there's definitely games or like they have a full roster and then like a lot of background characters and like all that sucks like even let's let's say they got stuck here right like in this season right it might take them a couple games to get everybody in there because
Starting point is 01:39:54 there's a giant cast that get that that show throws it you right away and even though they're even though it stops it staying there's a whole lot of like extra not in the main class characters and during the tournament arc yeah I'm talking to like even the main class is a huge roster right like and that's even including losers like sugar man it's going to be done it's going to be done the way every other shown in anime game does it you know you're you're going to see you're going
Starting point is 01:40:22 to see the paper is a touch you're going to be there you're going to see the character pole toppers and that's what it's going to be about got to fill out that character pull I'm so excited you know talk about God of War a little bit what do you want to say about it you guys you guys see that that no I literally watching nothing no that fun Z tweet no so there's this one tweet that happened over the weekend whose tweet was it it was Jeff canada who I have not heard
Starting point is 01:40:53 of prior to this okay I'm sure he's a very nice guy but this is the worst shit ever which is what if Zelda had an amazing cinematic story what if last of us had incredible skill based combat I saw that what if in charted somehow put all the violence in the context what if Dark Souls was approachable and clear the answer to all of these questions and more and God of War so who's Jeff canada some gamer reviewer I'm going to assume you know I was hoping he was like a big Sony
Starting point is 01:41:27 exactly what if you could this is the worst what if you could shove NPC slaves into the cogs and get an achievement for it what if that achievement says I didn't do it but I wish I did know man what if it was bros before I mean foes what if it was why is the earth destroyed who did this this is stupid so the word the worst part about that is that every one of those statements on their own is like the worst thing ever what if Zelda had a huge cinematic story I don't want that
Starting point is 01:42:05 because that's awful what and there's plenty that had plenty of story anyway what if what if Dark Souls was approachable and clear that I wouldn't like it anymore like oh my God that it's the most Garm reviewer the knock on uncharted is like not even a knock it's like the only thing that people really come hey uncharted games and even then it's what if the reason these games are great were not those reasons oh yeah this is a great is a great one I love this is not the same thing
Starting point is 01:42:40 no this is this is a joke version sent to pay okay talking about fanfiction and vimmins the and Elmo like that's dude that's how stupid the tweet is you pulled up the joke version faster how many light I want to see the original because I'm looking for it like I'm looking for it well it's a tweet so it's I don't know how to spell that it's got it's it's to it's C A N N A T A it is it has many retweets and many likes and it's just it's so car man but
Starting point is 01:43:21 that's the thing is like a lot of big ass big ten on ten is big big huge so God of War has been smashing the review cycle and it like that game is probably great like and we're going to play it on the channel and when I was making fun of this I people were taking is like oh why do you hate the new God war it's like I didn't play it was like when you talk but like that that fucking tweet has like damaged my opinion of the game because now you're going in jaded well no because
Starting point is 01:43:54 when I look at all the there is the maxed out scores I then think was this a game designed to hit every possible element of the game reviewer experience right okay right what if they had a skip button what like you saying last of us had shit combat last of us a great combat we're talking about the answer yeah scroll down a bit and looking for and and it's oh master's leave all you want responses I thought the first one is great interesting way to promote a game by attending
Starting point is 01:44:28 a tear apart other you don't understand I wasn't suggesting those games are bad or should be changed that's the oh see see if you had seen this you'd be giggling about it all the fuck you just have to play it so like I I like I know for a fact that developers like in or publishers or whatever they know that certain elements are going to appeal to certain things and there are certain parts of their games that will help reviewers get their games a better review extraordinarily
Starting point is 01:45:02 clear tutorials is one of them are certain you know what I mean you just discovered that with takeover right and stuff like that and there is the possibility that you could tailor make and meld and mold for a highly specific experience which is I gotta beat this game as fast as possible and have the best time with it right and like now that makes me like innately suspect of a game I was already excited for because now I'm like has this been focused molded into
Starting point is 01:45:38 the gruel the super gruel if you if you would what if Cuphead was playable what if Cuphead was approachable and fun like you might as well said that that no dude if Dark Souls was approach if Dark Souls was approachable and clear that series would be nowhere like that that well I remember in some video I think it's a stop scale just from fighting this video where they talk about like the Genesis of the souls and Miyazaki and they said how when they showed it the first
Starting point is 01:46:13 build of or like a very early build of demon souls to like Sony and he was like this game is crap sucks after an hour of playing it I don't understand and past yeah on public no it's quite a famous story that she had played it and was like this game is terrible there's no way we're going to publish it in the West this game sucks and then back the fuck down the months later yeah meant well years later I remember yeah because it was the game took a while to become like a cult
Starting point is 01:46:43 classic and the Dark Souls was a huge success yeah and then they asked play hey you guys feel dumb about passing on that you personally who personally passed on it like yes that was a huge mistake I super didn't get that game at all to be and to be fair going into it thinking that it's like any other action game of course leads to immense heartbreak and sorrow but now and as a result of all this is like oh I should go into God of War expecting expecting it to be the archetypal
Starting point is 01:47:14 archetypal action game you know like because it's so not weird because it's so approachable and I don't like also Skyward Sword had a shit ton of cutscenes and they were terrible I like the Skyward Sword story no really I didn't ask no great I felt they got in the way but that's what I was like putting up with the bad dungeons to see the story or had some bad dungeons had some good ones there had that one really amazing dungeon yeah time desert and time desert Kratos is still the
Starting point is 01:47:50 worst anyway but he has a kid now I'm excited to see Kratos guys you got to stop poisoning my opinions with your talk of God of War two and three eat my ass you got to stop my opinions are not based on the one that I played those are stop poisoning shut up shut up hey sure means back seek freaks back and blue Mary's back and that's cool everybody's back seek for back boys over here not only a seek freed back but he's back and he's voiced by one Akihiko a man really
Starting point is 01:48:26 that's pretty cool more importantly he's back and he doesn't have that stupid crystal shit oh god I forgot about that if his horizontal three strike is the down down up our vertical rather than I'm happy his super is a little little plane a little plane seek back in Soulcalibur six but you know what's awesome a world where we get the best seek freed and nightmare in terms of like the here's my worry and if this is a super trivial worry sure and it's that my
Starting point is 01:48:57 favorite moveset nightmare ever had was the one before these characters were different yeah because the solution with three onwards was split the characters and we'll give each of them a bunch of new stuff but also each of them will get some of the classic nightmare stuff and it's like no I want I want all of that Soulcalibur to nightmare shit yeah I love that version of the character seek freed needs to have the stances he needs to be stance stance stance and nightmare needs to be
Starting point is 01:49:24 just like grabs and isn't it still weird for storyline because if nightmare gets a shit blasted off he's just sick freed underneath and he could be fighting sick but he's corrupted secret don't worry but then what is he okay never mind they don't care I yeah okay he stole his body is it's not his body I don't know don't worry about it yeah that is super maybe underneath there he's also got gross or yeah maybe underneath the sick freed face there's a nightmare face no
Starting point is 01:49:54 you know what it is maybe the portals opened up from two different portals you know what is that sick free the one that looks just like sick freed you bust it open it's actually necrid underneath there he must win and and and and all he does is praise Todd McFarlane this item tells you to check out his latest I love that Tom McFarlane got an action like I like not all Soulcalibur's got little action figures but he made sure to get necrid one he's serious yeah wow like when he
Starting point is 01:50:24 was doing stuff for Soulcalibur to not like there was no fucking kill like figure but there was is necrid fuck necrid's the worst necrid's the best shut up he's got to win necrid looks like Bomberman zero no just this alternate does I mean the barman barman zero has a mask on no big general shape in the chest portal in the big arm the front part yeah alternate necrid has a weird mask on yeah sure me and Blue Mary very cool in in but in a bunch of a call it
Starting point is 01:51:03 gal fighters drug all-star team friends yeah so here's the thing I think we've talked about it a little bit before I love Blue Mary as a character I hate her moveset her movesets super I've always had a hard time with her moveset I like it but I know what you mean charge grappler huh what are you doing with that when you whiff the whiff animation you can make it work but share me I knew always obscured face is joining the frenzy hell yeah you can't see her eyes that means she's evil
Starting point is 01:51:36 there's none or not oh double German no it's basically just like what you call it Stone Cold Stunner she's got all these moves yes it's basically just like Steven Universe or she's got a third eye under there that's all maybe yes sexy costumes yes discuss discuss live on audio please you see stop you're the one who pulled the trailer up which I ask you to do what are we supposed to talk about now shut up with this fucking drug and anime game it looks great her tits are out they're
Starting point is 01:52:11 not a little bit they are in the other costume so so those are the silhouettes in the chair there's like a police woman with a gun I is that an SNK character yeah totally police they didn't say there's going to be a new character in this so I assume that police woman with gun what a great current poll to have also we've got the announcement of Mega Man X Legacy Collection is this going to have all the Mega Man X games sure is all of them yeah it's in two packs fuck got to
Starting point is 01:52:43 buy it twice each pack is 20 bucks okay it's not a big deal one pack that's 40 what they do have that as well they're both to get you can get that you get the power they split their split X ones to four and five to eight great by the first one yeah what the most lopsided thing that's that's the biggest mistake ever but it's like what else you're going to do like it's the logical division of numbers you should not have the two packs could you imagine if they waited them according
Starting point is 01:53:12 to like quality yeah like the fuck yeah it's like X X one and X four are in this and all the others you pay $40 but you still get two separate packs yes it's still stupid this this is super dumb it can't fit on a fucking Blu-ray it should be the one game and it should be all of them because doing it like this like why would you it does feature a new mode which is fighting two bosses at once it sounds fun oh that does sound fun cut to the alternate reality where
Starting point is 01:53:47 we're discussing this and the joke instead becomes well fuck that I just wanted one to four damn they should have probably made a version where I could only buy that I would never have said you know what I mean like do you know like I'm I totally hear that other version of the conversation some people can definitely never say that in fact here's the other version of the conversation hey why isn't there something called the Mega Man Collection of all of it of all of it that'll probably
Starting point is 01:54:14 happen eventually I don't know I want I still want maybe not on this generation I still want the Street Fighter Collection because there is the big Akuma box yeah Street Fighter Collection is coming you know I mean I want a disc that has everything one disc yeah all of it because the box has more multiple discs yeah yeah or I want one download that is every Street Fighter variant ever excuse me the but yeah so you've got you've got X one to four then you've got X five to eight
Starting point is 01:54:44 on this this fuck it's just that the PS2 Collection had all of them except for like eight I think or seven whatever the last one was that one was had them all except for one I believe but like got it no one will pay $40 from Mega Man maybe 20 for one to four if that's all you want to play one to four like I don't know what it's so weird to me this is angle I don't know it's it's cool those are good games those are good ass games play them not five to eight they're not
Starting point is 01:55:12 there's a new mode there's a new mode where you fight boss two bosses at once and like a X challenge kind of what's up with the Mega Man series where as you play it it starts to get way shittier over time be yeah well nine nine nine nine came in like 20 years later in the in the original momentum in order of release they definitely were like maybe you guys will know this they also clarified that X three is going to be the Super Nintendo version and not the PlayStation
Starting point is 01:55:40 version they said don't worry yeah yeah what is the deal with the PlayStation I imagine it has bad load times I don't know but I because I never played it they specified it's not Saturn or PlayStation it's just X three yeah maybe it could just be the loading thing because like for the longest time it's like hey does this thing have two and three on it great that's all you need and now it's like hey does this have X one and four great yeah although I mean quite frankly like
Starting point is 01:56:06 I I'm curious to go through even the bad ones again just to like remember some of like what was going on with like the fucking doctor that shows up Dr. while we and and and all that shit towards the end of it so there's that but yeah anyway sure sure sure and I want to know what this new X challenge mode is about it's you fight two bosses simultaneously can you choose which ones is random is what's what's the details on that do you carry dramatic powers in the trailer
Starting point is 01:56:39 is it it's like a two second clip at the end of the trailer you're fighting chill penguin and like yeah I want I want details is it a boss butch is it just like three Storm Eagles if you can know no I know overlaps I would pair Storm Eagle Storm Eagle up Steve Eagle with Magma Jagoon Storm Eagle or make boss versus boss how about that yeah that'd be cool right let's make fighting game yeah like call it like the power battles or something yeah oh man that'd be nice to make it three players
Starting point is 01:57:09 fuck not for not to fuck and not not have that on any collection ever because it's not same thing with that was on the PS2 and GameCube and Xbox collection same thing with that fucking soccer game yeah oh fuck do you actually like Mega Man soccer I've never played it but it's a generic soccer game yeah it's not yeah it's not the best it's not the worst I'd rather play ISS I'd rather play Sega soccer slim there's not two I'd rather play not a soccer game what about Mario
Starting point is 01:57:41 strikers I'd rather play that too I'm not it's barely soccer I think I played like 10 soccer games total they were all in the Genesis and I didn't like any of them what about Shenmue 1 and 2 remastered hey that's a great idea that's a great soccer game I wonder if they're gonna make any changes to the timing aspects of those games I think there was like a list of things that they are changing I don't remember because the QTE timing no the just like you have to be here
Starting point is 01:58:10 you have to play the game at 3pm in the middle of the day or else everything's closed doesn't use the eternal clock that wasn't a thing wait have I misunderstood this all this time yes you have you can the game has time but the time has nothing to do with the real world and then it turns nighttime after a certain point oh I'm silly you thought Shenmue was real world like time synced yeah the whole franchise the whole time yeah and
Starting point is 01:58:35 that's why you hated it yeah well no I hate it for different because it's not nearly as good as Yakuza bam but no actually I just I think Rio looks stupid like let's let's actually drill down it's like I think Rio looks dumb the problem with Shenmue actually because I like Shenmue it's like those are the problem is that there's a lot of days where you do nothing but work and go home like you just do a life and that's too full and you know what you do the same
Starting point is 01:59:03 in persona to a degree but it's a less interesting persona tricks you with the music and the and the characters and yeah we have both English and Japanese voice tracks modern and classic controls yep and there's only 100 man battle good so the fight system is really underused I was all the training you do for I was very much wondering when they were going to do this considering like three is going to come out like I mean that's a sequel to a game that's going to be like
Starting point is 01:59:32 how many children have no idea what they're like what's a Shenmue yeah but Shenmue online what about Shenmue destroyed that hey you know when we talk great box you know when we talked last week about how oh man I'm totally redoing an entire conversation from like three years ago is like you remember when we talked about how games are dead and you could look at Radical Heights and see that's dead you could look at Shenmue Online's trailer and go that's not coming out that was one of
Starting point is 01:59:59 them and now I remember we had that I said that exact thing like three years ago oh Landy I'm glad that this happened now because I've like for months I've been like I should do something with Shenmue stream I don't know I don't know what to do and then just I never did anything and I will lead into this where I'm like oh thank God HD better version is coming with that game make a decent LP or is like the structure disastrous it would be it would be broken up into great
Starting point is 02:00:28 moments and then lots of logging things oh great yeah you'd go talk to Tom and then you'd be like no then you feed the cat and you're like yay yeah and then Landy never shows up and you're like no I've never seen anything so you find the four who dough and you're also like no like three is going to be like Landy shows up in minute one because wrap it up wrap it up wrap it up we're not going to get 16 games you know my favorite so man I hope here's the yeah Shenmue four through
Starting point is 02:01:01 sixteen to complete the story quite frankly would be best done probably as a fighting game dude dude you know what needs to happen or beat him up just go Shenmue three has to get super weird and meta and at the end of Shenmue three Rio has to like look at his bank account and go oh no I'm running out of money the story will end soon and so he goes to his drawer and he gets a gun and he goes and shoots Landy is nowhere and then he he shoots him and the instant the
Starting point is 02:01:33 bullet hits him like the credits start flowing past super fast or you can just go play lucky hit now available on iOS and Android put the money in and then you wail your account back up so that he has money in his account and now Rio has money in game so you can just go right like like if you fly to Landy's house if you do mini buys inside the game world like Rio's piggy bank to start filling up you know what the game needs the game needs a fucking timer in the upper right
Starting point is 02:02:00 corner this is time until this game runs out of money yeah Shenmue we love you you think we're going to get a cameo by a virtual fighter character you call this game virtual fighter pretty sure virtual fighters already in that oh yeah as an arcade game okay he plays it but you don't like physically play you think we can get to have a moment where he's hanging out and he's like oh who's that guy in gray suit that guy's nobody don't worry about him remember
Starting point is 02:02:28 this was supposed to be like virtual fighter the RPG quest it turned into this and then they're like oh shit let's actually make a really good virtual fighter quest game and then they got distracted made virtual fighter quest I mean Rio is Rio is is Jackie Jackie and Akira makes it to one character yeah so it's not even remotely surprising so he should have showed up in that game series at some point that's what I say yeah I curious to shut up and like I like
Starting point is 02:02:54 kung fu then just kind of jump away this for I'll never know what happens all right well now you could but then I got to play all the way back up to it now let's spend many long times I remember spent a lunch break at work like years ago or someone just left Shenmue running on the dream cast in our break room and I was like all continue and I was just in a random spot it was fucking speaking of old Sega the mini dry mega the Mega Drive mini got announced completely
Starting point is 02:03:28 useless announcement since it has no games announced well they there was no details and really this yeah how's your criminal record doing it's it's all right it's all right so this this announcement for the for the Mega Drive mini was immediately followed up by it was because it was announced on stream yeah and they took a look at it and it's like there's no real details about what else is it's going to be and stuff like that but
Starting point is 02:03:59 someone's telling me this reaction is not making this at all so here's the yeah it's an already existing device that they're just no so so so so what I was able to kind of find that if Austin was here he'd be able to tell us a little bit more but this is actually a bum announcement why this is a bum announcement and the reason why is because it's not being made by Sega it's being made by another company that has been known for making awful awful shitty hardware awesome for a
Starting point is 02:04:25 long time they made they made other Sega mini things that didn't work at games is their name and at games fucking awesome has apparently like has they've been awful for a while and everyone is really like apparently so they have like an aversion of it was like the AT games version that like and dislike bar the AT games version of Sonic for example was like the music was super slow and it was like well fortunately music isn't really a big big component of Sonic games so you
Starting point is 02:05:01 could just do without it you know yeah there's a lot of there's a lot of upset people at AT it sounds like it's a little of the dot emu situation fuck you know oh well I didn't care before and I can go right back to not giving a shit I'd like to think Sega would actually test this thing out a bit before actually putting their name behind that is a nice thing or at the very least not let them handle the emulation and that's the way they've done before yeah because because there's been UI issues
Starting point is 02:05:29 controller issues responsiveness issues music issues emulation speed issues ultimately massive frame drops on Genesis games there is fair it's a cutting edge machine there is a last the weirdest part about this announcement is that the Sega also was like yeah we're gonna get a big there's a big Genesis collection coming with lots of Genesis games yeah lots of Genesis games that have not shown up in collections in some time on the ps4 and the Xbox and the PCI thing and now there's like
Starting point is 02:05:59 this the Sega Ages collection for switch which is even lammer than all these other things and it's not that this exact product has come out before but it's that they've made a mini type thing that actually took cartridges before and they made a mini handheld type thing that had some Sega games on it before as well you know so that's why it's like get de-hyped a little bit apparently announcement that if hey if Sega Ages does well we might even consider releasing Saturn
Starting point is 02:06:24 or Dreamcast games always love the test love right out of the gate tell me it's a test because if you come out with Wonder Boy I'm not buying it like you know what I mean if you just do another I think that might be the sickest thing about the game industry is hey you don't want this well you the thing that we know you want and would buy we're not gonna do unless you buy this it's like this as backwards thing of instead of just giving people what they want and selling them they're
Starting point is 02:06:55 like maybe we can trick them into selling into buying crap they don't want first. What if movies had tests? Movies do have tests but they're very long term and they're after the fact. Yeah. Oh you mean I don't mean like that because hold on there's there's test screenings. No I mean movies do have tests but they're after the fact they go hey Pacific Rim didn't do well unless it was in China so then they go okay therefore it's not hey we're gonna but that's a post mortem
Starting point is 02:07:23 it's not we want to make fucking Pacific Rim 2 and that's the movie we want to make so let's put out Pacific Rim 1 and see if that does well and if it doesn't then no Pacific Rim 2 is though they probably do do versions of that now where they go we want to make it quadrilogy. Oh you mean before we commit to it. I have a test movie for you. We put out one the mummy. Yeah there you go. That is exactly what that we want to cinematic intro that dark you know we want to bring
Starting point is 02:07:51 people into this world of a franchise so congrats video games you infected movies with one of your worst habits. That is that is the truth. That's awful. You know what a thing is you know an actual like a really good example this is when they film the test footage for Deadpool and Fox is like no thanks then they released it online and it blew the fuck up and that's what Green let it yeah wouldn't have happened if they had Ryan Reynolds breaking all the rules is what made
Starting point is 02:08:22 that movie happen. Amazing. So there was a recent scouring for trade marks. Yes some file trademarks. Yes. And Capcom filed a trademark that's pending for something called Onimusha familiar with what this word man. Come on man. We don't know. Unfortunately this happens what every once every few years like a total darkness is coming now that could just be a let's keep one of two things keep it from running out just keep your hands keep you know trademark I don't know
Starting point is 02:09:01 just to trademarks run out but it's Capcom's yeah like they own that could be a lot of sense could be a Nintendo has to re up the eternal darkness trademark because it wasn't there. Yeah so I remastered collection that's that's the thing that I'm thinking that would be because it hasn't happened. So let's fucking put that idea on the fucking back for a while while we wait for this to happen. I'm sure it'll be split into three packs. That was a thought. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:31 No you know what they could split it into good. Onimusha one two and three because and then onimusha played fucking played Warriors in four. Yeah. I wonder which one I'm going to buy. Onimusha real people trilogy versus the Onimusha. So yeah the only thing I would say is about Genma Onimusha does have issues with the re-release because it uses a shit ton of actors some of whom are dead and some of whom want nothing to do with video or genre you know I knew him
Starting point is 02:09:58 well do you know do you know about Jean Renault's fucking involvement in three and how weird it is. He's gotten nunchucks and then he shows up at the end of the trailer. No he refused to. So he's the second playable character on three. He's he refused to do any English lines. Right. So he's he's in the game dubbed in all his French and in the French version of the game and but they dub him over with some guy in English who's not a few lines in French in the
Starting point is 02:10:28 main game but it's just a few lines right. French and put subtitles underneath him. Well no a magic fairy has to make them speak English of the characters from Japan and France to talk to each other but that we do that all the time anyway shut up Tekken doesn't give a fuck. Tekken's Tekken Capcom Yeah no they should have just left him. But it's it's it's the weirdest thing. It's like he's done English. He can speak English no problem. But he was just like stuff. I don't want
Starting point is 02:10:55 to do it or if you think about it it's digital genre. No he's not actually showing up for real right to show up somewhere. No I know but it's like he's not performing on camera. Yeah he's like I'm voice acting. I don't I can be lazy. This is basically me getting hired for a voice acting role. So why wouldn't I want to do that in the most comfortable way I can do it. I'll do it. Fuck is that I don't know. I'll try and do it. I don't know. Try to do my Sharky a George is not working
Starting point is 02:11:24 you know anyway. I think I will do it. It's like Peppy lapoo Peppy lapoo Peppy lapoo. I love Peppy. He's great. Yeah right when right when that came floating up huh. Was that timing on that. Yeah. That's some fun. You did that. I did it. You said it out loud. I fucking hope that's a new game man. I'd like to think it'd be a collection which will be a tag for a new game but if that's a new game like that would be Devil May Cry 5 still doesn't exist. I'm just saying if that's a new
Starting point is 02:12:00 game there's many things that it could be like that it would be Capcom trying to get into that space which I would be very excited for. Or it could just be like Onimusha or it could just be another Pachinko machine. But Onimusha is kind of like those games already. It's a survival horror action game with sorts with sorts and like like Onimusha is like a pre-rendered background Neo. Yeah but there's no system where the zombies about to grab you and you shoot it at the last
Starting point is 02:12:23 second and it fucking dies right away right. There might be and I can't watch the games every second. I don't know what game like there's like what game are you talking about. I'm saying I'm saying that doesn't exist. In Resident Evil 3 it does. Is it timing or is it aiming? It's timing. There's a dodge system in RE3 for similarly and I think was to the Onimusha slash. And Onimusha 4 has like five playable characters. One of them just breaks your bones by punching
Starting point is 02:12:55 you. One of them is a character that you wanted but he's nothing like that character anymore and uses a different weapon. It's a fucking pile of shit. Smart for them to finally be like you know what we should not do? Hire asshole actors. I didn't care about Soki and then I played Tatsunaka and I thought Soki was cool. Yeah and then you play Onimusha 4 and you're like yeah Soki. Yeah he's not great. He's bad. Onimusha 4 also has the problem that the villain is a huge
Starting point is 02:13:18 loser. I didn't remember the villain. It's Hitoshi or Hideyoshi. Hideyoshi. Yeah instead of Nobunaga it's Hideyoshi. It's like oh fucking wow Hideyoshi is going to get me. The tiny one. The only reason I'm the villain is because Nobunaga didn't want to work on Tuesdays. So other rumors about games and development coming back from the dead. Now this is this is the you'd think that this would lead to something a little bit. How Matt's going to have fun with this. And what am I trying
Starting point is 02:13:52 to say. Try to say a new Bioshock game is apparently in development casually but everyone involved with Bioshock has made their own hit in the game industry separate from there's no team members left to botch this. This is a this is this is a doesn't work for them anymore. This is a massive collaboration from a dozen small indie studios making a Bioshock like game in the spirit of Bioshock from members of the Bioshock. If all the Bioshock former team members took
Starting point is 02:14:27 all their code from all their games and mushed it all together you get a new Bioshock. Damn done. That's how it works. But the real thing of this is like the makers of Mafia 3 like a lot of them got fired and a lot of them got moved to working on supposedly a new Bioshock. You know it'd be fine if this was something shock. The management like in the way that system shock is another thing. I always thought they should have always called the other Bioshocks something else Bioshock
Starting point is 02:14:55 to is Bioshock to because it happens in Rapture. It is in Rapture. Yes. Remember he wanted to call Bioshock infinite infinite. Yeah. Infinite. Yeah. But then they didn't watch better name. Yeah. So this could definitely be like another this the way that the teams have been split up and fired and thrown around and brought but like this is this is the most mismanaged fucking series ever. It's so ridiculous. Bioshock survive digital extremes made the fucking multiplayer for Bioshock
Starting point is 02:15:28 to know that. Yeah. Sure. I knew someone else made it Bioshock to was that period where it's like hey make the fucking sequel we want to do this different make the sequel like it was on just it was on this too right. Yeah. I had a disc two for that and I was like why and didn't someone else make the nervous dent. Yes. Popped it in and I think so. And we're nervous then is the best part of that game. And they did return to Rapture in the DLC for infinite as well. So that was the thing
Starting point is 02:15:59 there. But anyway, it should probably just be a new franchise everything about the way the series has been handled since the day Bioshock one shipped has been a fucking mess. How disappointing. What about botch shock crotch botch shock infinite. There's an infinite series of worlds in which Bioshock infinite came out to be a huge disappointment to everyone. No, it seems like 2K Marin also did Minerva's done as well. Whatever shock infinite. I think there's some cool
Starting point is 02:16:30 stuff in it. There's tons of cool shit in it. You know what would have been way cooler any of the stuff they showed before the game came out being in it. We've had this conversation before it's pretty bad that the horse moment is the coolest part of that game and it's not real. What other games are coming out better rumors? Shockmaster botch mania. I love shockmaster Bioshock. Bioshock master. Bioshock master. You did it cuz it would be like he would be like a big daddy where he crushes
Starting point is 02:17:05 through the walls on the top man. You have that you have that two seconds to shoot someone photoshop us Bioshock master. You hear the noise and then the walls come breaking down. Oh and the weak points is head. Yeah. So you can only have what when he falls on the helmet falls off. You have to keep getting him to bust her walls and then he starts pointing at you. It's like you Aaron Ryan. Are you in Harlem? He can't defeat me. Show you the man who controls the world. Show you the
Starting point is 02:17:34 man who controls rapture. How did they get rid of shockmaster? Oh you don't know. Oh I'm super happy. So they played him off like a joke where he was a construction guy and he fixed his walls. Shut up man. They and they had him take off the mask and everything but he was still called the shockmaster. He had a little construction that was kind of like a carpenter. Very important. That's fucking great. More important. How did they not get sued by fucking like stormtroopers? Like
Starting point is 02:18:07 because it was painted silver but it's a stormtrooper helmet. Yeah. It's basically a plasma helmet now. It's true. Don't worry about it. Oh fuck. WCW invented plasma. Kind of. Think about it. Remember Robocop had a match. Yeah. JR called it. Yeah. You don't know about this. They they did a cross promotion with Robocop and in the WCW. Look at me. They had a guy as Robocop come down and JR was like it's Robocop. He was real. Yeah. He helped stink. How did the
Starting point is 02:18:46 cosplay not fall apart? It was really good. It didn't. You can't do an Irish whip in that. He didn't have a match but he had like a Donnie Brooke outside the match. Okay. He could climb up the steps. Remember when Triple H is dressed up as terminators and shit. That was Triple H dressed up as terminators and they're like all Arnold Schwarzenegger's here so we're doing terminators. No they were like fucking Robocop real and he's running wild. Robocop was kayfabe. Oh
Starting point is 02:19:13 did he do video Robo walk down the road? Yeah. Yes. Yes he did. Did they play the theme song? I don't know about that. I don't remember. Oh fuck. It's a weird time. I think it was promotion for Robocop. How can the costume not fall apart? Like no matter what move you're doing. He's very slow in the ring. I don't think he got in the ring. No. Like even just the punch to the head means that things can kill you. No he showed up to like a tear a cage door off to save sting or
Starting point is 02:19:40 something. Yeah. So he didn't actually fight anyone. He was just used his super Robo strength to save sting. Wrestling's the best. So you can now add wrestling to the world of connected realities because Robocop showed up and he fought the terminator. Wully. Wrestling has always wrestling is like the nexus of the connected reality. Right. And then you go into the comics and then you get the fucking predator in there and
Starting point is 02:20:07 now you're all you're just everything's there. Yeah. You can you can you can connect the dots because again Triple H was a terminator promotion but the actual in character like Wully. Don't forget how wild wrestling goes like final fantasy exists in wrestling because of New Day coming to the fucking match at WrestleMania in the goddamn job out. It's still a costume. You're going to wait. No it's real. You're stupid. You're going to wait for me to hit. No
Starting point is 02:20:37 no you can't argue you what you can legit argue if the real Robocop with his music. Yeah it comes. Yeah if the real Robocop came down that's then that's really good. Yeah and as opposed to the fake movie Robocop but a wrestler that is dressed up as in a costume of a thing. If after he tears off different he takes off the mask and it's like Hulk Hogan or Macho Man that's a costume. That's a costume but yeah I'm start to finish appearance Robocop was real. Yeah it's like when it's
Starting point is 02:21:05 like like when you have characters from one cameo series dressing up as another but they don't want you to like not they want you don't want you to forget who the character is. So they like when Mr. T showed up in early WWF he was Mr. T. Yeah like he wasn't Barakus and he wasn't Clubber Lang right but this was Robocop. Yeah it's like it's very simple. Like remember when in Street Fighter they were instructed with the Halloween costumes to make them Street
Starting point is 02:21:33 Fighter characters wearing costumes and not actual monsters. I mean like the Dancing All Night Chip. Well no I mean like you will Street Fighter though the Halloween like the wolf for you had to be real in a wolf costume and not actually a wolf. Yeah yeah it's like you don't want to have bloody roar across promotion. But but but this is that's really Robocop so sick. Man that bloody roar DLC in Street Fighter 5 get me to play it again. Yeah. Speaking of which. Persona 3 yeah. Persona
Starting point is 02:22:05 5D get some of the best costume ideas ever. So the characters is as close as you're ever. The characters from three get dressed up as the cast of Virtua Fighter and some of some of those are slam dunks like has never been a slam dunk before Mitsuru as Sarah Bryant is very good. Is very very good. The best. Wolfe Hiko is kind of weird. It doesn't suit as well. Who's Jeffrey there. Jeffrey is Junpei. That's Junpei and Jeffrey Junpei looks fantastic. He looks great. Jackie I guess is
Starting point is 02:22:39 fantastic as well. Yeah. She looks really good in that outfit. I have no idea who fucking Kage is that not Ken. It's just Kage. I guess it's Ken. I assume it's Ken. Because he's good. Hide Ken. Hide Ken. So yeah. And and and Fuka as as pie as pie is pretty sorry. No as Lao actually. Yeah yeah because Yuki Ko is Yukari. We'll give some remember your weed trash. Forget both of them. Yeah. Into the fucking garbage with both. Yeah that only original characters from
Starting point is 02:23:13 Virtua Fighter one. Is anyone missing. No I don't think so. Yeah. One two three four five six seven eight eight. Yeah that's what it's about. You're out. But it's can we get Silver Koromaru. Yeah. Oh that'd be great. So that that one's good but the legitimately a plus like fantastic one is the dance Dancing Star Night. So the P5D outfits are all Yakuza related and they are like a hundred percent on point but also their Sonic just there just hanging out looking
Starting point is 02:23:48 looking pretty confused about it's it's it's like a Sonic but what's the Mona above that that's that's what's the crown. I don't know is that is that not related to a different alternate costume. Okay but like like for example Akira or whatever Ren is his new name like is Kiryu. Thus they are both characters who were framed for crimes they did not commit and thus had to serve like punitive sentences. Fucking Futaba is the information dealer from Yakuza one
Starting point is 02:24:18 and two. Jesus. That's a poll. Makoto the computer freak remember. Yeah. Makoto like punching Sajima. Yeah in size many whatever the biggest. She looks really cool in the army. Haru is dressed up as Haruka. Oh Ryuji is dressed up as Ryuji. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And the one and the one that people didn't get for the the longest Majima is is like oh their characters who created a fucking like facades for themselves to deal with like their horrible lives like
Starting point is 02:24:53 Majima is crazy shit is because life sucks for Majima and he gets I cut out awful stuff. But yeah and and and it's the stretch because somebody had to be Majima girls cosplay as Majima is my new like yes more absolutely yes to all of this. He looks great. Yusuke is as Akiyama Akiyama is like fan fucking testing. He looks really good like that though that one I can't understand the it's it's got to be like well somebody's got to be Akiyama. Although like of all
Starting point is 02:25:27 of it though like it's also pretty good costume stuff Haru can just replace the old Haru. Yeah she can just it's a better costume just dump that old file and it is it is 100% of better costume character. Yeah. Anyway like that's cool. That's fun considering like Makoto is a huge fan of the Yusuke series. This is really awesome like her her well you've never played Yusuke or have you. He just found out today that Mark Hamill played Majima today. Yeah. I tested
Starting point is 02:26:03 three for a little bit and I watched the one and two things that were a part of that disc because like her confidant link is a is a one to one inversion of the Yakuza quest structure. Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay. It's like because the girls of bitch and all that and it's like oh we're we're going to fix it and they're going to be a heart of gold and then you fix nothing and it's a disaster. Okay. Because it's that's not how life works Makoto. Yeah. No that's okay but but is
Starting point is 02:26:33 that is that crown and thing like I don't recognize it. You're real. You're real all about that. It looks cool but yeah. All right. I love that Mona is wearing like a fucking creepy shitty Sonic costume and it's the facial expression like hey doesn't turn into Sonic which was what you would think you know Mona went to the store and bought the gotta go fast. Yeah. Outfit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Quite quite specifically and probably at Sega's request. And then
Starting point is 02:27:06 Sega buying Atlas ended up working out pretty okay actually all things considered. Yeah nothing actually no disasters happen Atlas USA stayed open Yakuza games getting released and then there was some other cross promotion with the persona stuff going into what game was it Sonic forces. Yeah. There was something they just announced. Well that was the most recent thing I can. That was very funny. No no no something later than that with all this other Sega stuff
Starting point is 02:27:34 going on. And of course and losing the mood to massage some hands. Matt brought this up recently. Yeah. He brought it up again. This is this is the switch exclusive center in Kagura game where you massage PSO to that's it sorry. And fantasy star online too. There's a pro persona crossover. So Sanren Kagura of reflexions is coming to the west a.k.a. Shinobi reflet. So this is the game where you just massage them and when they were designing this game with the the
Starting point is 02:28:10 joy cons they were showing little balloons filled with water and balloons filled with sand and going hmm I don't know how does this how do we make this game on the switch just make an action game trailer is super creepy and weird. You don't like massaging hands and the massaging and it's got to be the fucking creepy Mickey Mouse rubber fist always got to stay clean. It's the only way it's squeeze those elbows. It's so weird. Now Monster Mon piece it just slide just slide it look
Starting point is 02:28:45 got to brush my women you don't you don't got to keep them looking their best get that make sure that fur coat make sure they're shiny and clean they eat eggs and oats to keep their coat clean and then they're ninjas and don't worry my women are grain fed. Dude it's coming to the. Because there's enough anime degenerates that want a little bit what I mean is the like just kick one off the podcast. This switch is region free all you had to do is have an Asian version with the
Starting point is 02:29:18 English no they this needs to be in a store build the brand needs to be at parental I level yeah that that is the wildest one to get localized in it like and I mean like the content as well I mean like I can't believe that one's getting actually look like it's nuts comes with a free bag of sand yeah that'd be great that would be great we've gotten past the Doki Doki Magician pen like localizations like we've I can't believe it's going out like it has to be a joke so you
Starting point is 02:29:51 want to localize this he has sure and then they took that person seriously would you do why did you oh man you're serious. Take some emails the switch is is is fucking replacing the Vita as the place to go for your for your creepy and I'm going to probably gonna do a video on this and I would like to actually say something about emails I saw somebody saying basically that it sucks to hear me be like oh just grab one of the shitty emails and costly make fun of
Starting point is 02:30:23 the emails to that person you have no idea how many emails are in that in that fucking inbox there are so many there are tens of thousands obvious to not everybody I assume people some folks think that there are like 35 emails in there and that when I say the shitty ones I mean like I just assumed we've talked about it enough that it was like a known thing yeah what's the number that you're looking at right now don't worry about it it's like fifty eight thousand today
Starting point is 02:30:54 I'm worried about it all right if you've got one send it to super best friend casted gmail.com super best friend casted gmail.com we've got one coming in from oh wait hold on a second sorry I need to double check to verify that off the presses things oh did something just happen yeah something just just happened all right let's hear it it's not the foul trailer sure is and I watched it this morning I didn't feel the need to bring it oh cool I didn't know that this
Starting point is 02:31:30 came out I missed it what it's not is it not cool it's just she looks fine it's just I saw she's like I saw a lot of Twitter impressions of people going on that's not all that exciting she's like Ed that she has the weird command list stuff let's see I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm interested in Falcon because that stick like she's wearing girl I'd outfit and I hope she's got a stick she's got psycho power and a stick the sticks what's important all right she's doing some pool cue shit with the
Starting point is 02:31:59 stick is this venom is this venom or a lento when we were on another story there is an article right next to it says is this just venom yeah I'm seeing some venom slash a relent to move sets happening here and she's using it like a gun almost in some cases so yeah the gun stuff is very venom yeah hitting the pool balls okay psycho angriph I didn't expect these vid v trigger parts of the trailer are almost always impossible to understand yeah but they usually do emphasize
Starting point is 02:32:34 it like if you just cut you have to kind of like pay attention a bit but like they do break it down with a couple posts usually read afterwards when G get out of my face when it's interesting when's Cody and G I didn't expect a weapon at all there's just like a few people and dipod they're like yeah sure I guess they got to make her different from Ed yeah I know they got yeah no that that's what I'm saying is like the worry is that it was she would have been too like generic but like
Starting point is 02:33:03 that stands out that's cool get out of my face let me see Codel Traverson I'm I'm I'm okay with new character. Emails. All right we got one coming in from flair 3500 a flare what up hey guys love the podcast I have a question for Matt what's his specific involvement on the takeover last time you said you're working for free why are you doing this for exposure what's your gambit.
Starting point is 02:33:32 My I answered this question like all weekend at PAX East but basically I'm like the director of all story and cut scenes I wrote all the dialogue I directed like you know how the cut scene should look and direct all the voice acting stuff like that whereas like all the main gameplay is done by the main designer Antonis so he can't do both so you're also on like kind of production role as well right well that's it yeah okay yeah and then like it's pulling in favors the other
Starting point is 02:34:02 thing is like yeah because of people well in favors that I got to pay for you expose your box no but let me do you for everyone that I know is like Takahata than little of emails like they wouldn't have come into the equation if I didn't know them as friends so there's that and I was able to you know get a publisher on board to publish the game so basically like a producer of the game but also in charge of all the story stuff because that's literally like you all I get
Starting point is 02:34:28 to write the story of a beat them up oh that like that's why you're doing it yeah you're doing it so that you can do it yeah not for exposure so we can call you peace on hmm but yeah that's that's the short and short and long of it can we get the emails of the guy the developer going like like why can't you just do it for free Matt what the fuck what do you mean you want to be paid God what's the really good line for one of those things if you when you're ready for to play
Starting point is 02:35:00 it when you're ready to play with the big dogs I'm looking for a key retail I can I can just go to Walmart and get a producer for like 12 bucks well then go do that like the fat it's like you get two or three paragraphs of berating in and they're like when you're ready for the big dogs I want me a key retail that's dude it's the oh my god not that cheap Chinese knockoff shit the good quality I saw a Walmart you could get foam for like 80 cents so just here's a dollar
Starting point is 02:35:30 for foam just like who are the sort of online big dogs you know also real black swords also though uh Zubaz is in the game as a boss fucking great you didn't run that shit by my desk son that's pretty dope that's you got Zubaz into somewhere I think and I was like sure no no no no I'll tell you I'll tell you the point where we need to do that I'll tell you exactly how all whatever you're thinking of I'll tell you exactly how it happened someone made a tweet and
Starting point is 02:36:02 went yo look I put him in it and I went all right right like if I if I put Zubaz in pillars would you guys have been like no you tell us no but no one can stop it and plus no one would stop it got a mind I was under the impression that Zubaz is like just use it he's public fuck put it everywhere make people confused public domain who is this character I'm getting really worried and he's and he's voiced by the same guy that voiced him and dive kick oh fucking great that
Starting point is 02:36:34 means the old shit now we have a cannon voice actor because yeah yeah yeah tried getting in touch that's cool that's good that's good that's a good one too let's go click bait title good here dear destruct always news feed never got to play what a fucking accurate name sorry features luckily that were fixed in the remaster remaster is quite good is there a game you can think of that jumped from mediocre or unplayable to really good with just a quality of life
Starting point is 02:37:05 improvement. Some people are going to say dragons dogma dark arisen and those people are dumb asses. I'm going to say it doesn't it was already above mediocre is already in the quality of good but it's still notable that going from good to amazing with the P for effort to golden quality of life changes there's content changes to very helpful but the quality of life changes themselves were worth it enough to be like yeah Austin and I were talking about this just
Starting point is 02:37:33 yesterday in that Yakuza one on the PS2 is a bad game and Yakuza kawami is great and in particular well the reason why Yakuza one is really really bad is that there's no dodge move and the combat super super fucking stiff but also the dub is terrible and kawami not only does all that but Matt you remember when we played a little bit there was one added scene that they put in with Nishiki getting shit talked behind a closed door yes yeah like that this one like three
Starting point is 02:38:05 minute scene completely fixes every storyline problem with the first game with that and just like if the game had been re-released like on the PS2 and just had those two changes that's all it would have taken to be like a fantastic game Ultimax adds a rematch button yeah that's that's good I'd say there's two things but actually to me the main thing is Wind Waker HD having the new sale totally go 30% faster and any any direction in any direction it doesn't matter
Starting point is 02:38:37 so you never have to use the Wind Waker and of course they they improved the Triforce Triforce Triforce I forget how the pieces further yeah those yeah just be lucky we never played the Japanese version of Wind Waker which had it the actual worst oh really yeah it's worse than the the what's the difference I actually forget you want to look it up maybe man but it's the actual worst and they improved it for the American version then Wind Waker HD improved it you
Starting point is 02:39:03 know further but I still forget the detail oh I got one game that went from great to the best is the camera change in subsistence oh that's what I was actually thinking of subsist like there's no reason to play Snake Eater Snake Eater is invalidated by the existence of MGS3 subsistence I'm trying to look here really quickly for the regional differences between Wind Waker and treasure locations no in an effort to rebalance rewards a fair amount of
Starting point is 02:39:37 hard piece and treasure treasure chart locations are moved around the Triforce quest though was it the Triforce stuff specifically you're talking about you so okay yeah no not sure yeah it's fine all right oh God I just remember too that there was a recent tweet I took a look I saw where someone was describing the differences between GTA in Japan and GTA over here yeah yeah like what weird okay okay okay so I'm gonna have to go find it to pull it up but like
Starting point is 02:40:12 starting with San Andreas and going forward there's a lot of stuff that was just like this is this is like distasteful right okay so they had to change things here we go so shout out to yeah Tom James on Twitter who's basically broke down this thing saying okay San Andreas in Japanese one attack is enough to become wanted oh wow right the changes that break balance you can't attack downed enemies obviously right enemies don't drop money enemies don't drop money and rewards and so
Starting point is 02:40:41 on we're not rebalanced for these changes so these are all just like that's horrible changes that had to be made because of the like cultural implicate the societal implications exactly and then there's no rebalancing around those things so they just change those and then it goes on he goes on to say the money situation is particularly severe so severe that just to get past the early tutorials that involve using shops grinding it for month they involve using shops grinding
Starting point is 02:41:08 for money is inevitable the problem which is further exacerbated by some sources of income to also be removed from the game there's ripple effects silent web silent weapons are useless because they auto trigger a wanted level killing mission targets won't inherently trigger a wanted level but attacking lackeys immediately does so what a wreck tour for becomes hilarious because auto wanted levels mean you have to evade police and gang members at the same time and the Japanese
Starting point is 02:41:34 version came out three years after the U.S. one the balance was still like that you can't shoot at birds at any point at any point not that and it was that I'm not the type to bother doing it anyway I don't like attacking animals in my games but it's amazing that a programmer had to spend time removing something so incidental the script itself is apparently was very well localized which I'd expect considering that GTA has always sold well in Japan but it too
Starting point is 02:41:57 was subject to some changes water for instance is replaced is referred to a sake man that is ruinous if I was a Japanese person I like GTA I'd be furious much like people were furious in Yakuza 3 took out all the fucking hostess stuff like not even talking about hot coffee sexual content is super removed and scrubbed so some cutscenes just have random moments that are cut away Liberty City stories are similar a lot of a lot of changes implemented at one point the
Starting point is 02:42:25 assassination of target of one mission was changed to a creature unclear what that was about and then yeah going down the rabbit hole five had a bunch of changes as well one mission involving anal sex changes them to two two of them smoking even though the subtitles still reference the sex and in the English line about not releasing a sex tape is the same but the Japanese subtitle for whatever reason more or less says a smoke after a round of anal sure is the best which so yeah
Starting point is 02:42:58 some weird shit coming out of like Japanese GTA and yeah this guy basically what an interesting story Tom James on Twitter good job Japan is such a fascinating place it's like why well you know why but because Sarah that's why yeah I'd say those are those are good examples I'm content I'm content I'm also what's your content level it's high all right I'm fucking starving Calvin says there will be a Matt as the name of this email implies I got a tester job
Starting point is 02:43:36 yeah I guess I'm sorry if you're reading it this week I'll be right there on my first day right now do you have any advice for Calvin fucking I sure hope you love video games like a whole lot adhere to the bug writing format never straight from it try not to be hypercondescending with the way you write your bugs yeah because a person has to read oh write them like you're a robot and you have no emotions whatsoever be yes
Starting point is 02:44:10 there's that bright them like a robot with no emotions write them in a way that is like clear and descriptive but not so descriptive that it's condescending for example plug in the controller and press the start button yeah like not so yeah not so descriptive that it's like insulting yeah basically into like definitely don't put like I don't know what jackass left this in but there's a weird triangle Z fighting glitch over here what a what a maroon but don't do that but you
Starting point is 02:44:37 might want to use language that might sometimes be a little bit smart it's not it's not that it's smart me but it's like it's it's an objective thing but sometimes people people got mad at our language where it was like please ensure that the save data does not corrupt all other save data on the memory card right when trying to save your product you can you can say like please ensure blank and will not blank when during blank yeah there you go developers are sensitive developers
Starting point is 02:45:01 developers they're working like a crunch they don't want to they don't have time to deal with I don't want to take some fucking lip from some some peon down in the Q way yeah yeah yeah also if you are a beast at regression everyone will love you yes try to work really hard at regression and you will probably keep that job regression is regression is no idea what sorry regression is when a new build comes out and you'd have the giant bug list and you have to go over the
Starting point is 02:45:31 fixes and so you have to test each fix and then go yep it's fixed or still not fixed yeah because no one no one likes to do that for the fifth six or a the 50th time it is the second most important part of QA well yeah because of the new build comes out and the fixes come out you have to know if they fucking work exactly or else you just got to do it again so it's as much fun as you want to have finding the thing and throwing it up there also having a giant list in front of you
Starting point is 02:45:58 have a hundred things that need to be verified if you can have an eagle eye to find dildos that's an invaluable skill if you just know where they are even if they're behind the solid got a dildo sense out here yeah something on me is vibrating to elaborate a little bit like no one wants to do a regression it's monotonous and repetitive and thus people are also very bad at doing it and they like your brain checks out so if you want to be like valuable you do the
Starting point is 02:46:28 thing good that other people hate doing it involves you reading someone else's work reading someone else's bugs yeah and like having a parse through that you better hope everyone's as good and and as descriptive but not too descriptive as you I have I have a piece of advice that depends on your personal work setup and I'm getting this advice from a story you told a little while ago if you work at a bug testing place in which you will sit down at a
Starting point is 02:46:52 different location or other people will share your equipment yes and there are no supplies for the following on hand by all means bring disinfectant wipes to wipe that shit down so that you don't get fucking sick that's like a gym yeah to treat it like a gym absolutely don't get other people sick and don't get yourself sick hey you should wipe down your stuff after you use it got a horrible rash yesterday it's too expensive from holding this 360 controller also
Starting point is 02:47:21 when you get real in there send us emails about what secret shit you're working yeah only if it's good though yeah who cares if I was doing training of someone that was new and at some point I saw what they were doing and they're doing a pretty decent job yeah but I saw it like them wipe like picking their nose that's going on the fucking report oh yeah oh yeah if you break my that's going that's being considered what if your ability to return to what if what if they what
Starting point is 02:47:51 if they they're like they got a itch and they put their hand in their crotch and get a real like funk scratch going on and then go right back and they get the grease on it you're getting a fat ass yeah if you play with my 30th anniversary Optimus Prime figure from 15 years ago and you're playing with it and you drop it on the floor and it shatters an arm and then you place it back on my desk while I'm looking at you and you say yo sorry bro and walk away then fall asleep
Starting point is 02:48:20 at your station that's going on your that's going on the report but just the sleeping part mm-hmm mm-hmm mm-hmm wow that sounds like a really specific crates example yeah no it's in the rule it's in the generalized rule book that everyone follows me because usually I give lots of people chances that they fall asleep I slam my own desk to wake them up and I'm like just continue working if if if you're scrolling desktop wallpaper when you leave your kit alone is just
Starting point is 02:48:54 hentai it's just fucking hentai at the office you're at work bro you're going in the report if you leave your your station on with the unlocked that then and if you complain about the naked pictures of David Hasselhoff oh you're a put your computer naive you fool yeah you're naive like leaving your shit unlocked and having your coworkers to fuck with it is one of the great joys of an office experience I was never a fan of like pictures of David Hasselhoff whatever I was
Starting point is 02:49:27 always a fan of taking a screenshot of your desktop one that's good and putting it as your desktop that's good and dragging all the little icons into a corner or whatever okay so you want it like what you got that the screenshot of the desktop and then turning the icons off is like yesterday's news yeah it was screenshot flip the screenshot upside down okay yeah right have the mouse cursor there and then if the monitor itself is a is a rotatable monitor oh man you
Starting point is 02:50:01 fucking flip that shit around too so that when the mouse moves up it goes down and the brain goes what the fuck is happening because it's looking at a right side up desktop oh man that's great that's great yeah good times alright don't leave your fucking shit unlocked no if we put a computer what it's what it's unlocked that you have to keep it they have to it's a lot have to stare at it do you guys believe in spoopy ghosts so Michael no absolutely not that shit stupid I'd like to I
Starting point is 02:50:39 would also like to honestly I would I would like to see something I the I am the total ghost skeptic with one possible small caveat in which I do realize the rules of many ghosts and go hauntings is stupid but if any location was going to be haunted it'd be this location like the abandoned mental hospital where they killed all those people or you know like yeah like I wish they were real so I could fight them I bet you do John says they're super bourbon for watch the wrestling
Starting point is 02:51:13 match recently involving a robot with a dildo arm called mechamami versus famed shooter Minoru Suzuki mechamami's main offense seemed to consist of shaking while hugging people sort of like the Yeti yeah I was gonna say that sounds like the fucking yet hey the match ended in mechamami exploding into a mushroom cloud Wow Suzuki turning into a robot Wow you ever seen any dumb but brilliant wrestling lately uh well we talked about an old bit with the Robo cop stuff
Starting point is 02:51:45 yeah we did anything really stupid lately I'm a big fan of Kenny Omega wrestling that fucking doll that's big that's already got really famous and then oh yeah I go I mean it's where I first started seeing gifts of him is what I mean super lovers though golden lovers excuse me yeah that's a different lately like I can't watch everything every second there's dumb shit happening in England all the time sure is it the same thing what you've been reading lately
Starting point is 02:52:19 I don't I don't got anything all right well you know yeah we need to watch more like fucking Chikara and fucking hoodslam pro wrestling gorilla and shit stop it oh I thought of my roller derby name go ahead the Matt Hatter's but that's that's a plural yeah well oh just for me yeah I thought it was my team the Matt Hatter Matt Hatter then yeah all right you must wear a hat at all times would you do bad Hatter's boy I have to wear a helmet roller derby
Starting point is 02:52:57 anyway oh yeah that's not doesn't apply you know destruction but no but I'm crazy yeah that's true I'm fairly crazy I don't know I'm capable of really dare super duper Mr. Cooper's concerning always talk about piercings and boxing when I was doing my red belt in Taekwondo I had to spar with a girl who's very aggressive and didn't know how to block one point she jumped at me with a sidekick I saw it coming and I moved to the side clothes lining her with a spinning
Starting point is 02:53:28 back fist to the side of her head that's strong and you she wouldn't block it so I pulled the swing early and we were wearing gloves and helmets which helped since it was just a counter motion she basically just head butted by fist right any feeling of accomplishment immediately was replaced with guilt and despair when I saw her holding her head and crying because it turns out she didn't take her earrings off before putting on the helmet almost exactly
Starting point is 02:53:49 like the exact same scenario almost happened again a few weeks later with the same girl I have since quit Taekwondo with the knee injury but looking back I don't miss this kind of drama play to win have you ever had a moment of success immediately followed by a feeling of guilt and specifically will you have you ever struggled with this while sparring no because no one else is dumb to like keep their shit on take your fucking
Starting point is 02:54:12 shit that is 100% her fault take take your shit off 100% and if you do it again weeks later like it is 200% your father that is self injury that is that is like your fist might might as well have been a brick wall or whatever it doesn't matter you should not feel joy but you should feel zero guilt yeah at the person doing that again especially I broke a I broke a friend of mine's knuckles punching him and I didn't feel bad about it because he should have drank
Starting point is 02:54:40 his milk that's such a story like that's kind of my knuckles didn't shatter into a million pieces not quite the wheelhouse but you know drinking drink your milk but does milk make your bones stronger or doesn't it clearly I've never broken a bone there's studies that change that say all kinds of shit you're right well anyway no that doesn't happen whose knuckles
Starting point is 02:55:06 shattered were they mine no drink your milk I can I probably had success followed by guilt at some point but I had nothing comes to mind it's like I can't think of a big enough success that I remember like sad as well it yeah I don't want to sure if you want to treat somebody with respect destroy them as
Starting point is 02:55:28 hard as you can I mean again there's the there's the times when you play against a little kid and you try and it turns out that kid's a beast you get crushed and halo yeah guess what that little kid they're not strong you beat them up physically yeah yeah easy that's a win easy parents are strong though yeah yeah summer they're super breast for
Starting point is 02:55:56 I've been trolling through and toiling through Celeste lately for the past several days I've been mentally exhausted and how much content it has I can get super tough not only during the levels get progressively harder and longer but the game keeps rewarding me with even longer and harder bonus levels it refuses to end it's all amazing content such a good game I want to enjoy it all but the task is much more work than I signed up for what's the biggest example you've had of
Starting point is 02:56:20 a game just refusing to stop that keeps looking for content than you ever come in whether you want it to or not call me every Ubisoft game I've played since like Assassin's Creed Brotherhood oh call me red dead as well and not even cuz I was I was not enjoying I was like I'm 25 hours in and I'm like not in Mexico yet every like like I like P5 had an a moment approaching long in the tooth but in the end it was fine yep
Starting point is 02:56:57 but yeah the answers are coming okay me even I will say the answer is okay me and lastly we'll take one from Dan who says their disciples of Dark Lord pockets and that too allow me to regale you with a story like it's please read this on the podcast willie allow me to regale you with a story that ties into my question when I was a wee babby I had a really bad OCD that manifested itself in the most
Starting point is 02:57:22 inconvenient way possible and that was regardless of what movie I was watching video game I was playing or book I was reading I needed a physical representation of the character I was playing as or I would go crazy what I don't know like you need to have a doll then said physical representation needed to be comfortably fitted in my pocket this wasn't too much of an issue for a while on a kind of wise end on account of me not getting a console until like 2010 ish after all most
Starting point is 02:57:52 of the mainstream games I got for the PC were sonic adventure DX Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Kotor two but when I got the Xbox 360 I fucking went nuts yeah think about all of the games you played in the early 2010s what percentage of them do you think had action figures congrats you guessed too high sure and accessibility broke me out broke me of the problem granted there were some legacy characters that I'll still buy in a heartbeat if I ever see them but the point still stands
Starting point is 02:58:19 anyway finally getting to the question have you ever found yourself actively limiting your own enjoyment of a game etc. do your own weird idiosyncrasies are you serious like you see it on the channel all the time I can't help it I literally cannot help it you remind yourself on how many Assassin's Creed games because you did all this shit extra shit ahead and then you got burnt out and then you literally all of them since brotherhood right no no since yeah since I thought the
Starting point is 02:58:44 first time I ever heard you describe this was three though well it happened in revelations but I finished it but I was miserable drag myself across the finish line yeah no I'm again probably a great example if I really sat and thought about it but on the spot the closest thing to that is like the reverse scenario where part of a game is for me but not the whole thing yeah so you know I yeah the monster hunter thing as as a as an example I was just talking to plague about this
Starting point is 02:59:13 when we're playing Warframe is that there is a prime there's a there's a mech called Excalibur you know Excalibur is the these the face of the game will eats the the the re you it's one of the characters you could have picked at the very beginning so Excalibur Prime which is the better version is only available if you bought a founders pack like back before the game was in beta like the five six years ago for like a hundred bucks right that shit is just completely unavailable
Starting point is 02:59:40 otherwise the and it will never be available otherwise because the contract like the that they did for that like is very specific that almost got me to never play the game at all and same thing with plague where it's like the fact that that exists that item exists and you can't cannot ever get it sticks in your fucking chest and it's awful I've actually got over it though. I've talked about this before on a musher for all enough
Starting point is 03:00:12 oh man has six different ways and imparted story as black screens a scrolling text it has portrait art of characters and then text that goes in between has in game cut scenes and it has big lavish FMVs and then there's sometimes just voiceovers of a narrator and then there's voiceovers where it's just the characters talking to each other on a black screen and that drove me up the wall I hate that the takeover has two different ways it shows it's it's it that's comic book
Starting point is 03:00:44 style motion comics and then in game talking to a boss and then pressing and a button to go through prompts with their conversation so that that ruin not wouldn't ruin on a musher for but it drove me nuts and I never finished it because I was like fucking on a musher for as many problems it is very long in the tooth like we're discussing like long on the tooth right away to a disc PS2 game yeah I'm thinking real real hard and I can't think of anything what about fighting
Starting point is 03:01:13 games you won't play because they don't have boss characters that you can pick I really can't think of somebody like that I did yeah I know you did but I'm like some of you people at home to you like that I'm bringing back fisticuffs episode one bits you know like what do you mean that has continued forever yeah I I just think I actively don't do in every episode yeah I remember you talking about a game or two but I can't think of it where you're like yeah I just couldn't
Starting point is 03:01:45 get into it because of but I forget you know what they were and whatever sorry the headphone yeah no will you're having trouble with this because you're not like this right like it's it's a personality issue some I have hundreds of these of these minor things none of which are as crazy as the one we just read but I have absolutely like the method in which how do I put this the worst one for me is the one that happened and it's not specific to Doctor Who right
Starting point is 03:02:15 it's not specific to Doctor Who and I don't even particularly care for Doctor Who it doesn't matter it's when our old friend Josh tried to recommend me to watch Doctor Who and I said okay cool where do I start he's like oh try the new season I'm like yeah is that the beginning is I will know it's been going on since the sixties all right like well okay well where do I get the episodes from the sixties I'm like they don't exist right they're fucking gone like well I'm
Starting point is 03:02:36 never watching Doctor Who then because I can't start from the beginning and like yeah no I guess I guess the closest thing is Monster Hunter but it's like I mean I still enjoyed what I played of it but then like yeah there's just the stuff from like okay next monster please and you know taking a minute to get there hmm oh well yeah but then again you know like I said like that's like I had a big discussion with Austin about about the whole like numbers thing to begin
Starting point is 03:03:11 with and like you can build entire like he's because he was like going on about like the gacha games and whatnot and there's a ridiculous wrestler WWE gacha game that that is out there now yeah I know the one yeah and like there's entire genres built around just like all clickers are numbers yeah and stuff and like so I'm not envious of the fact that I don't feel you don't feel drawn to it pull of the yeah you know what I mean like I'm not envious of that what about
Starting point is 03:03:40 so in a situation like like it or this or it's like it's a full game like Monster Hunter that it's like no but you're missing out by not but not feeling this right here though and I'm like but am I because I know that this can be bad another thing of how much happier you would be if you had this crippling need hmm and that need was fulfilled hmm yeah but it's like getting addicted to heroin you're always like I just wish it was third person yeah yeah I mean it's not an
Starting point is 03:04:07 ironclad rule because you still like overwatch still do it always like I kind of wish I had my I could see my character and a lot of that and I do too but I'll play whatever and then the perspective that's a combination of multiple things happening though because like that's a combination of me preferring to be able to see the character why I appreciate scenes in character the characters and the design in the art I like seeing that stuff I really hate when you have
Starting point is 03:04:28 a really cool design that you can't see the reason why I bring it up is because I've heard no one articulated like that before I prefer third person things but first person I have I have absolutely heard that but that's because I played Destiny and played Warframe and like Destiny has a massive problem with that because you're able to like oh look my character looks so cool don't see it 99% of the time yeah that's a totally pointless super bummer and then
Starting point is 03:04:54 and then of course you know the other version of that was when I was just like having trouble with like the motion sickness and all those things early on or I'd be like I also you have an OCD compulsion to not vomiting I also don't know so yeah this thing that's really specific to you yeah um everybody else is like yeah whatever I vomit for the game but you you're like I hate that all I can't there was that time period like around around in an edit in and around
Starting point is 03:05:22 Deus Ex human revolution was like first person games but there's tons of camera cutaways to third person where you slashing up with like stealth moves or ladders and shit a lot of games are doing that for a few years and then just I was really bummed when I rented Deus Ex one on PC yeah way back in the day because the box had these cool matrix dudes on them and then you couldn't see them pictures and I'm like fuck what a shame well the guy that you're playing well you
Starting point is 03:05:47 do can see him in cutscenes yeah but I'm like when I when the game booted up and I was like oh there's a gun floating at the bottom I was like damn it it's another gun floater it's like your button back it's another Wolf Krohn Wolf Krohn Wolf Wolfenstein you know it's another gun floater I like that yeah yeah that's that's but but it never really is like I can't play this it's just a like my preference is that you know yeah my my need for sequentialism ruins like that's
Starting point is 03:06:19 what I'm gonna call it I guess kills cuz that's that's the root of the problem the problem is I have to do everything in the order that I'm supposed to just kills tons of games for me because the developers design things to be additional or extra and I go well they're available now what about persona and SMT what about them exactly you didn't start you didn't play those sequentially no no I mean in the game doing things the instant they become available I mean like hey this
Starting point is 03:06:49 type of side mission unlocked in Assassin's Creed do all of those side missions immediately well cuz okay but like starting at the re relaunch of seat of Doctor Who is just like starting at persona three it's the exact same thing yeah okay see I wish the person had explained that to me identical Grant I'm still not gonna watch it that's why nerds yeah nerds just watch Torchwood learn about the Harkness test fuck that creepy fish person oh yeah yeah all up in there what's coming up
Starting point is 03:07:22 and out what's got a war God Wars coming soon this Friday I hate when Sonny releases games on Friday yeah cuz it's really hard to get the fucking video up that day yeah no it can't fuck we're not gonna get that video up that day unless we move Vista cuffs no yeah we're not getting videos coming up on Saturday fucking just put it out at the next reasonable time slot like no really we can relax you know yeah the only thing I know that comes out this week is God
Starting point is 03:07:51 Wars coming out we're gonna LP that enjoy that yeah I mean we're gonna start a new LP as soon as co-tour finishes which is done we did it we beat it how long 99 episode are we gonna oh did he tell you I saw it yeah you ain't no hundreds we came in so we talk after we finished recording it Willie and I had a talk and we're like if we had recorded an hour extra that final episode was gonna be as long as it fucking needed to be there to keep it under it but it wasn't it actually it actually
Starting point is 03:08:23 just naturally at a natural 99 natural 99 so people lost bets I'm sure oh yeah give me my cut go in my pot so yeah I mean we're gonna play a new game as soon as that's over which would be soon how long are we gonna wait on Capcom for what oh I don't know forever at least till this one's done or yeah no I just cuz that's okay that is actually thrown a wrench into that I yeah now my brains now I'm like maybe we can wait till July that's not that far yeah you three three right I think a
Starting point is 03:09:05 will be based around the decisions will be made around the three yeah we'll do that yeah beyond that though Fire Emblem Mirage Tokyo continues sessions Mirage Tokyo I don't SMT awesome told me some fucked up shit about the game you told me some cool shit about the game fucked up cool shit yeah cuz it's his favorite yeah yeah so he told me that yeah yeah that's good pro tips yeah if you come back from the dead and are the answer to a huge mystery and everyone can find out how
Starting point is 03:09:38 to save lots of lives from just talking to you don't tell anyone what to do just go sit in the corner of an office desk and encourage the main character. Oh God yeah I forgot saying things saying that's fine don't worry about it was just we discussed how like is awesome and we were talking about it and like they like we're talking about how when you really break it down cuz definitely a lot of like people are like right and it's a pretty fun game but
Starting point is 03:10:01 it's very understandable that folks who are fans of Fire Emblem and everything that entails yeah and not even the trailer thing just think about Fire Emblem sure what it is think about think about SMT and what that is as a whole franchise. And you put those two together and somehow idols becomes the biggest theme and it's like what is being a pop idol have anything to do for my with digital devil demon shit my
Starting point is 03:10:28 personal experience with the game and the only thing that I can see the woman that came over from Fire Emblem was the weapon Trinity like the characters and the characters Oh yeah sure but it's like yeah like big-ass night dudes and stuff and then like Tokyo getting run over by demons a muck and act like the SMTM and influence is much much stronger you know but you're like none of those have anything to do with like being a jab J a pop idol but here's the thing so
Starting point is 03:10:55 that's the theme the people if Capcom versus SNK didn't turn out to be what it was and it turned out to be amalgam would you have liked that more or would you have not like that Capcom versus SNK as an amalgam world with new characters that were you and I would have not like hey guys at the time Terry Masters you like it no no no I would have both both I would have not wanted to make I would have loved that now though because love that my hype over that would have come
Starting point is 03:11:22 from my characters that I like fighting yeah so I would have been bumped to see new version but it was never going to be like SMT vs. Terry Masters Fire Emblem anyone so here's the thing is people did expect that the trailer the trailer is showing off a bunch of characters let me let me I just thought everyone was working to get as a big fan of at least one of those at the time the biggest problem was actually a game that Nintendo had released prior and that was that so they
Starting point is 03:11:53 showed the trailer and the trailer was the main characters from a bunch of SMT games standing including like the fucking Demi Fiend and Aleph standing next to a bunch of Fire Emblem characters and was SMT Crossfire Emblem and nothing else no no screenshot a gameplay no nothing right yeah Nintendo had also put out the fucking crossover of the Nobunaga's ambition or whatever the fuck that game is and Pokemon which was straight up a crossover a tactical RPG that
Starting point is 03:12:22 had Pokemon elements in it here are these Nobunaga characters with Pokemon it was a direct synthesis of the two it was here's the gameplay from one of these games yeah with the tone from the other yeah and there and so on and so people expected oh it's going to be a Fire Emblem strategy game with an SMT tone and characters which is what everyone wanted and then it became it's it might as well be its own thing like the fact that it is a crossover seems totally it's a
Starting point is 03:12:55 brand new point but the problem is that it is its own thing yet completely like they didn't call it SMT Crossfire Emblem they called it TMS yeah you love that I don't know I think it's cool for someone to like let's actually make something new rather than just there's portals yeah thanks love live like also like it reminds me like I've either of you ever played a game called Devil Survivor yes I haven't but I know it that game is exactly what people thought right that
Starting point is 03:13:25 game was going to be speaking of actual idols and stuff that reminds me right before we squeeze out there was one of the things that we out what out of here for we is just so that's weird I that I don't like that. I mean I'm thinking about timeframes and like fitting content no totally get it but it's like we're shits as we leave the office that's correct and the door is a big but you know what he's on point with this all right that was good I don't like it but I have to
Starting point is 03:13:58 admit it I apologize no Jeff pointed out something to me that friend of his is working on and I was like oh this looks kind of interesting from his description there's a Kickstarter and it's involving like idle stuff it's called idle manager right and it's an it's an idle manager like simulator type game right right you're you're you're you're like in it you're like in it. Yeah this is out of nowhere. Okay it is out of nowhere right but he pointed out to me the only reason why I'm
Starting point is 03:14:30 bringing it up is because as an idle manager type game right where you run a studio and you have everyone that's coming in to be like stars and they're trying to exercise and learn and do all the Barry Goodman stuff like it's like it's like hashtag fe yes you have all that stuff but apparently a big part of there's survival horror it's not that it's survival horror but you know the fucked up weird you can't date anybody shave your head shit yeah apparently it's about that
Starting point is 03:14:59 fucked up culture and it gets into the weirdness of becoming an idle and how you have to like adhere to this insane set of showing it in a real list in a real note how it's messed up exactly okay good so the content is it's an idle game like the other idle games you play does it but it actually addresses some of the weird shit does it include producer son he's right there right now does it include producer son you're playing as producer son he's right there it said protect
Starting point is 03:15:27 your exploit okay well that's actually why I was laughing so hard because I'm like oh this this oh man sip your coffee piece on oh man take the pictures yeah oh wow build your agency into an MP so yeah so and it's doing really well on Kickstarter right now it's called the idle manager but that's it like apparently apparently it addresses some of that interest because the idle business is fucking dark there's some it's really bad some awful shit because based on
Starting point is 03:15:58 the idea specifically of taking innocence and melding it into marketability I will have to say it would be a bit more impressive if this was coming out of Japan but no it's a USA project it certainly is they because dude they don't want to fucking you know what I just mean I'm not surprised like how's that gonna fly yeah anyway so no they're they're at like 37 K there are six of their 6000 yeah they're they're at the part of the Kickstarter process which is described as
Starting point is 03:16:32 massive crush yeah so this apparently is a game that goes into that stuff and that's the only reason why I'm like that sounds interesting get ready for woolly and Matt's darkside LP mash the exploit button not not to invalidate all of a genre entirely but I'm invalidating an entire genre yeah I have no way what genre I don't know well you're you're a media and media thing media mogul manager medium I don't want to invalidate an entire cultural girl exploitation yeah sure well
Starting point is 03:17:09 I mean that's everywhere I mean you got to have that for society to function is Gax an idol yeah he's also an 18 year old school boy still exploit that in the new show that's coming out oh I thought you meant like he did the soul transfer no I wasn't watching he's being cast as a high school kid in a new show he's doing exploited man's 44 I've been told I can play anything from 8 to 58 you know says Gax until he sucks his blood out and then becomes super Eric he becomes
Starting point is 03:17:44 a hierarchy yeah he just starts twisting his finger into his skull like oh this blood is so good it's pure Gax so good become Bujin guy all right what are you guys doing on your own shit like that like I mentioned before I have a review of rampage the movie coming up tonight and maybe this week but probably most next week I'll be kicking off Matt's Palace of Persia which is something I've been working on for months now which is an eight part retrospective series on all the
Starting point is 03:18:19 Prince of Persia games and I'm sure Ubisoft will take notice and I am sure they will green light a new Prince of Persia is that is that the video series that you're doing is the stepping stone to the eventual replacement video series about Assassin's Creed no it's just a Prince of Persia series spiritual successor series okay you're gonna do a special successor series to that video series about Assassin's Creed now I'll be doing one about DIY virtual fighter don't worry
Starting point is 03:18:48 God what the fuck I saw some fucking you could have called it you could have called it smoldering rage I saw some I could fucking tweet I talk about that from someone that was like oh fucking cool for the persona costumes yeah well it's like oh fucking cool I love Sarah from Dead or Alive was that I write that no and it appeared to be legitimate and I wanted to fucking die but the best part about the joke that never gets addressed is that dead or alive five final round is fucking
Starting point is 03:19:20 excellent it's great yeah it's an amazing like I don't like it nearly as much as virtual fighter because I feel it's really loose like that's like you would think oh if it's an awful bad game it'd be worse but no no it's good it's a very good game and that's what's real and I actually appreciate that they treat the VF characters with like a lot of class they don't turn them into their weird creepy well no because if they would be if they're in four but five they're like oh shit we actually
Starting point is 03:19:48 have a solid good graphical style here but that won't make people look like creepy weirdos Sarah is not jiggling all over the place she has a little but like she's she looks like she got right Jackie's got way more she looks like she got ripped out of virtual fighter yeah my balls are faster than like but anyway that's me that's I'm gonna all stream shit over Pat what is my twitch angriest Pat that's the thing yeah I'll stream some shit I still don't have my computer
Starting point is 03:20:21 still fuck off I looked up the shipping like what's the status so your computer and right now a expert team of scientists are discussing the best most efficient way to fix my problem and send it back to me so that's that's that's a lot of geeks one might ask a lot of geeks all stream something I don't know how does one frame a war I can't delicately there's an answer you've been so I'm gonna I'm gonna be real you're asking your your goofy shenanigans with warframe are really
Starting point is 03:21:03 frustrating because you have a tendency to ask questions that you have to even lie to joke about right right it sucks you're really good at this for some reason that's stop it that's funny I put out some porn this week yeah she sure did you and Reggie working hard to pop off on that porn if you guys like porn you should head over to woolly versus and watch it I'm kind of tired of it to be honest I'm sorry you just see that tweet where for tonight for tonight was like our
