Speaker 4 (01:33):
That hurt angel.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
By the way, do you you know what the funny
thing is?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
As long as I've known you, and it's been like,
damn near twenty years, has it not?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, it's been longer than that.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, I'm getting so being in the building, I'm getting
close to eighteen nineteen. Is it really eighteen nineteen?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
On?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The monsters have been thirteen so in that window, because
there was the years I was working in promoting. I
was in the building, but I wasn't working on the station. Yeah, legitimately.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Anyway, I don't know that you're a gamer or not.
I have no idea about your gaming pay I don't,
I promise you.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I think i'm hurt.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, because you asked them on a PlayStation earlier.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, always, I was always yeahs five, yes, thank you.
I've been about Grand theft at it was my favorite.
I'm on there like at least ten hours a week.
I definitely still play Madden when I first got put on,
when I first was intern and this is back in
the day. I always I got invited to when Jack
(02:31):
and Otto would host these uh with Xbox, these Halo
kind of elaborate games game nights at their place. Like
there'd be ten guys. Everyone brings in their own monitor,
they connect them all together and everything, and we would
play Halo all night long.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Yeah, giant land party. Yeah, yeah, it is called a
land party.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Rely.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Nowadays you can just join an actual party on the console,
but back in the days, you had to me.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, you had to bring your console, and you had
to bring your to your monitor.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah, you had to bring the whole the whole nine.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
You had to bring everything you possibly had, and then
you just sit in this little like square with your
buddies and you're just playing.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
On the little Lampbard.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
That sounds so straight, you know about that?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Life so straight?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Jane joins us for eight Bit Update and every single
Friday around this time, they'll give us anupdate on what's
happening out there in the world of gaming. What is
going on out there, buddy.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
We talked about Wolverine not too long ago. We got
a little bit of an update on that. It is
now in the PlayStation stores. You can add it to
the wish list. You can't pre order it yet, but
you can add it to your wish list. So you
added to the wish list, it tells you when you
can pre order it and everything. So the game's finally
coming out. We're just getting closer and closer by the minute.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And that's a big deal.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Oh yeah, huge deal. I told you last time. The
game has been in development for like five six years
at this point. Yeah, so finally we're getting some good
news on silver.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
So when they put that, when they put that up
and they say you can't buy it in advance or whatever,
why do they put it up.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Is it just like an ad to let you know
that it's trailer?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah? Yeah, if you get a chance, you got to
watch the trailer for this thing, because it's absolutely.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Ridiculous, is it.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, the game played the movement of Wolverine, just the
things that you're gonna do, and yeah, that's how you
get them on the hook, and that you get everybody
to put it in there in their basket and everything.
So when it drops, you know, boom, you crash the servers.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Better than the game I'm playing now, RoboCop Rogue City.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Absolutely okay, Hey, I love the young and the older
hate that you're getting your bookmarked.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, my generations going, uh.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Just slow your old ug.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Hey, he found a game he likes and I said,
I support it. So dead Space, the original dead Space creator,
after seventeen years, wants to get back into making Dead
Space video games. There's been three of them. The first
two were really good. The fourth one or the third one,
not good at all, not good reviews. They just remastered
(04:47):
the first one. It's like a sci fi horror game.
It's super dark, like you can't see anything, but you're
on the space ship.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
You got aliens coming at you. You just gotta survive.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
When they update these games, because we talked about this
last week with a game that you said they updated
a couple of times. When they go into update, is
it basically like you said, just making it, making the
graphics better and it clear. Do they add context to
it that they add extra characters? Is there more dialogue
or anything like that.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
There might be a little more dialogue stuff that did it.
They didn't put in the original game and they found
a place for it now. But for the most part,
it's just making the game updated.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Yeah, that's the best way to go for remastered. But yeah,
the creator after seventeen years is like, hey, you guys
aren't doing much with my IP. Give me it back
so I can make some video games, which is always
a good thing. Original creators on video games is what
it should be cool companies to spam it out games.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
We talked about the EA buyout.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, fifty five billion dollars from the Saudis.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, well another thing, Saladi boss.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
Yeah, well, we're trying to stop this. Senators have put
in letters saying, hey, this is not right, this is
internal affairs. They're trying to get this block. They don't
think this is good for the US. They don't think
any like as.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
A spy capability or whatever, because using the consoles and
people's home to spy on their data and stuff in
their computers, that's that's exactly what.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, I think what you could do with the manipulation
of titles of games. Yeah, you know, we we're getting
freaked out about the content that's on TikTok Now, I
imagine you you know, under the guise if it's a
video game and you got you know, with some espionage
or whatever kind of thing going on, but it's uh,
actually that game.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Sorry, so oh well, let me walk that one back.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
So they're just trying to push it back. They're saying,
this is not good for America. Please stop this.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Now.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
I don't think it's gonna get stopped, but we're making
an effort at least.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, fifty five billion says it's probably not an even
slowed down.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Oh, they probably would.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
And now that the Saudi money has been almost like normalized,
now you know, people get this out the reach the
Rio comedy fast. I mean it's almost like completely normalized
to bring Saudi money into America. That would have been
an absolute no no when I was a kid, but
now it seems to be like perfectly fine.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Every company at this point takes money from Saudi. I
just don't understand it. They're everywhere. But at least someone's
trying to be like, get back.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They'll push it back a.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Little sidebar when you get a chance, for Jimmy, look
up the movie studio backed by that same fund Saudi Arabia, right,
and look at the actors and everybody that are excited
about it. Wow, it's and we're talking billions of seed,
billions of dollars to seed money to start this.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Oh yeah, it's something. We got a new Pokemon game.
You guys know, I love Pokemon. I got a Pokemon
tattooed onto me, So I'm very excited for this. Legend
Za came out another spin off in their Legends title
Legend Archaists came out a couple of years ago. At
this point, this is the first huge release for the
Nintendo Switch to They couldn't have picked a better game
because Pokemon is always going to sell. No matter what
(07:39):
you do to that ip, it will get bought. They
changed the battling system, they changed the way you can
shiny hunt, They made the game overall easier for new
players really to just load into Pokemon.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And you say, this is the first major rollout for
that new console that handheld.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Yeah, the Switch, Yeah, the Switch.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
This is I mean, they've had a couple releases at
this point, but nothing like Pokemon, and it's one of
their biggest ips.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And do they build a game specifically for that machine?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Is that What makes it so unique is because the
parameters of the game work real easily with the particular
like with a monitor that you're provided.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Yeah, so with these early earlier games come into the
switch console. Not everyone's on the switch console the new
switch consoles, so they still release it for the old
consoles too, But it's just not as good as compared
to the to the new reversion. It looks better, there's
more stuff you can do, it can handle more, just
if you're gonna play it, I wouldn't buy it on
your current switch, like I'm waiting to get the switch to,
(08:30):
which honestly, I might get the switch to just to
play this game here pretty soon.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Are you serious? Oh?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Do those things resell well? Like if I were to
buy a switch to and let's say I played it.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
For three or four months and I didn't like it,
would I be able to sell it for almost what
I paid for it, like fifty one hundred dollars less?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Maybe?
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (08:46):
Yeah, it really just depends on how the market is.
Like if for the when the Xbox and the PlayStation
five came out, I'm sure Angel knows about this, well,
yeah you could. They were like a grand five hundred
more than retail.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Dude code, like my buddy gave me a couple of
the xboxes back in the day when they first came
out with the one that was the wireless one with
all the you know, he was the newest, big time upgrade,
and we did a giveaway during the COVID years, a
summer of summer of fun is what we called it.
We never had more reaction from our audience trying to
win one singular thing than we did for that xbot.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
I believe it.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
During that time, anyone and everybody would do anything for
a console. No one could get their hands on it.
But this Pokemon game looks like the best Pokemon game
there is. Yes, because they haven't updated Pokemon since that
game has launched. That game has been the same for
twenty years, so they them adding new mechanics is great.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Nintendo's actually doing something. I called them the laziest company.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
But somebody just texting a question, said, do you have
a recommendation for the best all in one game system
so I can play Nintendo sets the whole nine yards.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
I mean, if you want to play Nintendo, you're only
gonna have to get Nintendo. But honestly, if you want
to play everything PC, I say it all the time, PC.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
It's the best way to go in.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And I know that Alienware sells the PCs, but they're
also very, very expensive. Is there another place where you
could buy a gaming PC and not have to spend
like four grand to get one.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I got a pre built from best Buy and it's
worked like a charm. I love it.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I got it on a Black Friday sales, so it's
really watch out for those deals.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Those rills are killer. I got my pre built for
like four hundred dollars off or something like that.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Oh yeah, And so what you want to do is
find out what processor they're putting in it and what
like video card and sound card, right, that's the most
important thing.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Yeah, and they list it out for you. They know
everything in that computer. Best Buy is a great place
to look for a PC.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
I had no problems.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And a lot of gamers build their own.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yeah yeah, I mean if they're dedicated enough.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I would smash that computer before I'm done building it.
You can't know this.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And then there's the interesting thing. And also there's not
gonna say it's beef, but there's contention right far between
like the guys that do the PC route to play
their games and the guys that do the consoles, Oh yeah, yeah,
there's always a little friction there.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
And then you have people like me, I heard this
about it. Well, don't worry, I have BOTHO. We're good.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
We're good guys.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Speaking of consoles, xboxes, it's kind of it's weird what's
going on with Xbox. So in twenty twenty five, Costco
took off Xbox off the shelf, games, consoles, everything, and
now other people are following that trend. Target and Walmart
they're taking Xbox off consoles. Sam's Clubs just put all
their Xbox on clearance. I'm assuming to get rid of
(11:23):
it at all. And I really don't know why. I
was trying to like look into this more and figure
out what's going on. I can't find anything. And I
think it's just the digital markets taking over for Microsoft anything.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Really. Yeah, So that would be a sign maybe not
to invest one of those things, simply because you don't
know if it's gonna be around anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
If I mean, are they gonna rule that?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Are they gonna Are they gonna because you said they're
about to do a new one, aren't they?
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Yeah, they're it got it's not totally confirmed that that
could be what it is. But at the same time,
it's so weird because Xbox three sixties were on shelves
for five years after the Xbox One came out, So
I just don't it has to be a business decision.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Somewhere if they're about to release a new one're getting
ready to drop something. Yeah, yeah, they would pull all
that stuff off there and put it in clearance and
get the shelves and not have any old inventory out
there at all.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Yeah, but they they haven't even announced the new console. Everything.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Everything that's come out about that new consoles is from
insiders or people in the building just chit chatting about it.
So nothing's even fully confirmed. And that's and that's the
crazy part. Why are you taking your stuff off shelves?
Why is it going on clearance?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
It trust means up by accident, No, no, no, for.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
See a story about that the other day about how
Microsoft is moving away from consoles because they believe digital
gaming is going to take it over.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
They're huge and digital and the problem with digital gaming
is they can take games from you whenever they want to.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
It's not yours when you buy a digital.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay, So that explains why they're switching to digital.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
It's still Microsoft's and Xbox when it's digitally, no matter
how much you pay for it, no matter what you say,
we still own it. You sign it a term in
agreements when you make an Xbox account.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So you're releasing it almost so yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
It was a big story on ABC News this week
about how Microsoft is like, yeah, no, we're not in
the console game anymore.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
We think digital is the way to go.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
And look, man, these people are not making moves that
are stupid when you consider the gaming industry is worth
more than the movie music and well there's a podcasting
business combined.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Like it's bananas, dude.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Actually, somebody has a question is do you can you
suggest a mod on why T?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Why T?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I don't know that is YouTube?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Yeah, I don't. You got me to go go? You're fine.
How are you liking RoboCop?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I mean, I'm telling you it's so much fun. Man.
I've really enjoyed playing it.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And you know, before I would have to force myself
to find time for it, but I'm always digging up
a half an hour or you know, forty five minutes
or something.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
To sit and just blow people away with my magic pistol.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Are you close to the end?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Do you have no dude, I'm not even close to
the end. I think I'm out of scene one. Maybe
you know, but I mean, actually, I don't even care, dude.
I'm just still trying to make him run a new
cool stuff and shoot that pistol as a monster did.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I love it?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
And I'm learning how to outline the bad guy so
i can see him in the dark and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It's great, dude, you're really right now.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
We got to get you on a stream one day
or something.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's like, no, I'm not doing.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
That, dude.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You'll laugh at me.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
That's the point.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Yeah, we talked about all these consoles. Xbox isn't really
doing what they're supposed to the switches though. They they're
producing more and more consoles, which I'm assuming because Pokemon's
coming out, it's gonna be in a higher demand for
the next couple of months. So they're like, hey, we're
gonna put out all these consoles for Christmas time. All
of it's coming out. Oh yeah, they're about to make
a killing. They will make so much money it will
(14:27):
be record Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, it's wild though that they you know, they make
obviously they make money on the hardware. But you buy
that hardware one time every two or three years because
it lasts pretty well. But you'll writing that software more often.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Though, right, Yeah, dude, I've been running my switch since
like twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Dude, Oh yeah, that switch.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Only The only time I even bring out my switch
is when I'm on an airplane.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Really, oh yeah, every time I sear switch, I think
someone is gonna have to go out and cut their
own switch, yeah, to.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Get a beating.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It doesn't know what that means.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yeah, I have no clue on it. I just laughed
like I did.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I actually mean a little bit. Back in the day,
we were kids, we were bad.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Your own parents would send you out to a tree
and you would cut a piece of limb off of it,
bring that to them so they could beat you with it.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
If it wasn't bad enough or big enough, they'd make
you go out and cut it again, or they would
go out and make their choice.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Right Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Oh that sounds like the worst punishment of all time.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It's not fun.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
That was that your video games back in the day, right.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It was Frogger Donkey Kong and avoided beating Right, those
were the two.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
That's the top three game of all time, right there?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
All right, one last thing for us, pig Dog.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Well, I really wanted you.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
I wanted to give you a new game this week
that was gonna be my one.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Please give me one because I can download it and
still kind of tool around while I'm still playing the
other one.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
So this game is kind of like Robocock more more jokey.
Have you ever watched Rick and Morty.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, I mean well just with ros suggested that I didn't.
I didn't get it as much as they expected me to.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Okay, fair enough, Well, this game is made by the
same people.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
We never expected you to get Rick and Morty.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
This game is made by the same people that made
Rick and Morty. Justin Royland not not the greatest guy,
but this is a good game.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
He's a oh yeah, don't do a deep dive.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I my guy.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, don' don't look him up.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Don't

It's game time on real Radio.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Get ready for the loveday, your quick hit on gaming
news reviews, and a little chaos as Pop Pomp tries gaming.
Oh he bit update with Jayden's starts.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Now you guys give.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Look at him? Look at him?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
That hurt angel.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
By the way, do you you know what the funny
thing is?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
As long as I've known you, and it's been like,
damn near twenty years, has it not?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, it's been longer than that.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, I'm getting so being in the building, I'm getting
close to eighteen nineteen. Is it really eighteen nineteen?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
On?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The monsters have been thirteen so in that window, because
there was the years I was working in promoting. I
was in the building, but I wasn't working on the station. Yeah, legitimately.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Anyway, I don't know that you're a gamer or not.
I have no idea about your gaming pay I don't,
I promise you.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I think i'm hurt.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, because you asked them on a PlayStation earlier.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, always, I was always yeahs five, yes, thank you.
I've been about Grand theft at it was my favorite.
I'm on there like at least ten hours a week.
I definitely still play Madden when I first got put on,
when I first was intern and this is back in
the day. I always I got invited to when Jack
(02:31):
and Otto would host these uh with Xbox, these Halo
kind of elaborate games game nights at their place. Like
there'd be ten guys. Everyone brings in their own monitor,
they connect them all together and everything, and we would
play Halo all night long.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Yeah, giant land party. Yeah, yeah, it is called a
land party.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Rely.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Nowadays you can just join an actual party on the console,
but back in the days, you had to me.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, you had to bring your console, and you had
to bring your to your monitor.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah, you had to bring the whole the whole nine.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
You had to bring everything you possibly had, and then
you just sit in this little like square with your
buddies and you're just playing.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
On the little Lampbard.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
That sounds so straight, you know about that?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Life so straight?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Jane joins us for eight Bit Update and every single
Friday around this time, they'll give us anupdate on what's
happening out there in the world of gaming. What is
going on out there, buddy.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
We talked about Wolverine not too long ago. We got
a little bit of an update on that. It is
now in the PlayStation stores. You can add it to
the wish list. You can't pre order it yet, but
you can add it to your wish list. So you
added to the wish list, it tells you when you
can pre order it and everything. So the game's finally
coming out. We're just getting closer and closer by the minute.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And that's a big deal.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Oh yeah, huge deal. I told you last time. The
game has been in development for like five six years
at this point. Yeah, so finally we're getting some good
news on silver.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
So when they put that, when they put that up
and they say you can't buy it in advance or whatever,
why do they put it up.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Is it just like an ad to let you know
that it's trailer?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah? Yeah, if you get a chance, you got to
watch the trailer for this thing, because it's absolutely.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Ridiculous, is it.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, the game played the movement of Wolverine, just the
things that you're gonna do, and yeah, that's how you
get them on the hook, and that you get everybody
to put it in there in their basket and everything.
So when it drops, you know, boom, you crash the servers.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Better than the game I'm playing now, RoboCop Rogue City.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Absolutely okay, Hey, I love the young and the older
hate that you're getting your bookmarked.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, my generations going, uh.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Just slow your old ug.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Hey, he found a game he likes and I said,
I support it. So dead Space, the original dead Space creator,
after seventeen years, wants to get back into making Dead
Space video games. There's been three of them. The first
two were really good. The fourth one or the third one,
not good at all, not good reviews. They just remastered
(04:47):
the first one. It's like a sci fi horror game.
It's super dark, like you can't see anything, but you're
on the space ship.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
You got aliens coming at you. You just gotta survive.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
When they update these games, because we talked about this
last week with a game that you said they updated
a couple of times. When they go into update, is
it basically like you said, just making it, making the
graphics better and it clear. Do they add context to
it that they add extra characters? Is there more dialogue
or anything like that.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
There might be a little more dialogue stuff that did it.
They didn't put in the original game and they found
a place for it now. But for the most part,
it's just making the game updated.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Yeah, that's the best way to go for remastered. But yeah,
the creator after seventeen years is like, hey, you guys
aren't doing much with my IP. Give me it back
so I can make some video games, which is always
a good thing. Original creators on video games is what
it should be cool companies to spam it out games.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
We talked about the EA buyout.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, fifty five billion dollars from the Saudis.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, well another thing, Saladi boss.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
Yeah, well, we're trying to stop this. Senators have put
in letters saying, hey, this is not right, this is
internal affairs. They're trying to get this block. They don't
think this is good for the US. They don't think
any like as.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
A spy capability or whatever, because using the consoles and
people's home to spy on their data and stuff in
their computers, that's that's exactly what.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, I think what you could do with the manipulation
of titles of games. Yeah, you know, we we're getting
freaked out about the content that's on TikTok Now, I
imagine you you know, under the guise if it's a
video game and you got you know, with some espionage
or whatever kind of thing going on, but it's uh,
actually that game.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Sorry, so oh well, let me walk that one back.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
So they're just trying to push it back. They're saying,
this is not good for America. Please stop this.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Now.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
I don't think it's gonna get stopped, but we're making
an effort at least.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, fifty five billion says it's probably not an even
slowed down.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Oh, they probably would.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
And now that the Saudi money has been almost like normalized,
now you know, people get this out the reach the
Rio comedy fast. I mean it's almost like completely normalized
to bring Saudi money into America. That would have been
an absolute no no when I was a kid, but
now it seems to be like perfectly fine.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Every company at this point takes money from Saudi. I
just don't understand it. They're everywhere. But at least someone's
trying to be like, get back.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They'll push it back a.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Little sidebar when you get a chance, for Jimmy, look
up the movie studio backed by that same fund Saudi Arabia, right,
and look at the actors and everybody that are excited
about it. Wow, it's and we're talking billions of seed,
billions of dollars to seed money to start this.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Oh yeah, it's something. We got a new Pokemon game.
You guys know, I love Pokemon. I got a Pokemon
tattooed onto me, So I'm very excited for this. Legend
Za came out another spin off in their Legends title
Legend Archaists came out a couple of years ago. At
this point, this is the first huge release for the
Nintendo Switch to They couldn't have picked a better game
because Pokemon is always going to sell. No matter what
(07:39):
you do to that ip, it will get bought. They
changed the battling system, they changed the way you can
shiny hunt, They made the game overall easier for new
players really to just load into Pokemon.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And you say, this is the first major rollout for
that new console that handheld.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Yeah, the Switch, Yeah, the Switch.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
This is I mean, they've had a couple releases at
this point, but nothing like Pokemon, and it's one of
their biggest ips.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And do they build a game specifically for that machine?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Is that What makes it so unique is because the
parameters of the game work real easily with the particular
like with a monitor that you're provided.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Yeah, so with these early earlier games come into the
switch console. Not everyone's on the switch console the new
switch consoles, so they still release it for the old
consoles too, But it's just not as good as compared
to the to the new reversion. It looks better, there's
more stuff you can do, it can handle more, just
if you're gonna play it, I wouldn't buy it on
your current switch, like I'm waiting to get the switch to,
(08:30):
which honestly, I might get the switch to just to
play this game here pretty soon.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Are you serious? Oh?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Do those things resell well? Like if I were to
buy a switch to and let's say I played it.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
For three or four months and I didn't like it,
would I be able to sell it for almost what
I paid for it, like fifty one hundred dollars less?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Maybe?
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (08:46):
Yeah, it really just depends on how the market is.
Like if for the when the Xbox and the PlayStation
five came out, I'm sure Angel knows about this, well,
yeah you could. They were like a grand five hundred
more than retail.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Dude code, like my buddy gave me a couple of
the xboxes back in the day when they first came
out with the one that was the wireless one with
all the you know, he was the newest, big time upgrade,
and we did a giveaway during the COVID years, a
summer of summer of fun is what we called it.
We never had more reaction from our audience trying to
win one singular thing than we did for that xbot.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
I believe it.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
During that time, anyone and everybody would do anything for
a console. No one could get their hands on it.
But this Pokemon game looks like the best Pokemon game
there is. Yes, because they haven't updated Pokemon since that
game has launched. That game has been the same for
twenty years, so they them adding new mechanics is great.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Nintendo's actually doing something. I called them the laziest company.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
But somebody just texting a question, said, do you have
a recommendation for the best all in one game system
so I can play Nintendo sets the whole nine yards.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
I mean, if you want to play Nintendo, you're only
gonna have to get Nintendo. But honestly, if you want
to play everything PC, I say it all the time, PC.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
It's the best way to go in.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And I know that Alienware sells the PCs, but they're
also very, very expensive. Is there another place where you
could buy a gaming PC and not have to spend
like four grand to get one.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I got a pre built from best Buy and it's
worked like a charm. I love it.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I got it on a Black Friday sales, so it's
really watch out for those deals.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Those rills are killer. I got my pre built for
like four hundred dollars off or something like that.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Oh yeah, And so what you want to do is
find out what processor they're putting in it and what
like video card and sound card, right, that's the most
important thing.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Yeah, and they list it out for you. They know
everything in that computer. Best Buy is a great place
to look for a PC.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
I had no problems.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And a lot of gamers build their own.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yeah yeah, I mean if they're dedicated enough.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I would smash that computer before I'm done building it.
You can't know this.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And then there's the interesting thing. And also there's not
gonna say it's beef, but there's contention right far between
like the guys that do the PC route to play
their games and the guys that do the consoles, Oh yeah, yeah,
there's always a little friction there.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
And then you have people like me, I heard this
about it. Well, don't worry, I have BOTHO. We're good.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
We're good guys.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Speaking of consoles, xboxes, it's kind of it's weird what's
going on with Xbox. So in twenty twenty five, Costco
took off Xbox off the shelf, games, consoles, everything, and
now other people are following that trend. Target and Walmart
they're taking Xbox off consoles. Sam's Clubs just put all
their Xbox on clearance. I'm assuming to get rid of
(11:23):
it at all. And I really don't know why. I
was trying to like look into this more and figure
out what's going on. I can't find anything. And I
think it's just the digital markets taking over for Microsoft anything.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Really. Yeah, So that would be a sign maybe not
to invest one of those things, simply because you don't
know if it's gonna be around anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
If I mean, are they gonna rule that?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Are they gonna Are they gonna because you said they're
about to do a new one, aren't they?
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Yeah, they're it got it's not totally confirmed that that
could be what it is. But at the same time,
it's so weird because Xbox three sixties were on shelves
for five years after the Xbox One came out, So
I just don't it has to be a business decision.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Somewhere if they're about to release a new one're getting
ready to drop something. Yeah, yeah, they would pull all
that stuff off there and put it in clearance and
get the shelves and not have any old inventory out
there at all.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Yeah, but they they haven't even announced the new console. Everything.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Everything that's come out about that new consoles is from
insiders or people in the building just chit chatting about it.
So nothing's even fully confirmed. And that's and that's the
crazy part. Why are you taking your stuff off shelves?
Why is it going on clearance?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
It trust means up by accident, No, no, no, for.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
See a story about that the other day about how
Microsoft is moving away from consoles because they believe digital
gaming is going to take it over.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
They're huge and digital and the problem with digital gaming
is they can take games from you whenever they want to.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
It's not yours when you buy a digital.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay, So that explains why they're switching to digital.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
It's still Microsoft's and Xbox when it's digitally, no matter
how much you pay for it, no matter what you say,
we still own it. You sign it a term in
agreements when you make an Xbox account.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So you're releasing it almost so yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
It was a big story on ABC News this week
about how Microsoft is like, yeah, no, we're not in
the console game anymore.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
We think digital is the way to go.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
And look, man, these people are not making moves that
are stupid when you consider the gaming industry is worth
more than the movie music and well there's a podcasting
business combined.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Like it's bananas, dude.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Actually, somebody has a question is do you can you
suggest a mod on why T?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Why T?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I don't know that is YouTube?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Yeah, I don't. You got me to go go? You're fine.
How are you liking RoboCop?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I mean, I'm telling you it's so much fun. Man.
I've really enjoyed playing it.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And you know, before I would have to force myself
to find time for it, but I'm always digging up
a half an hour or you know, forty five minutes
or something.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
To sit and just blow people away with my magic pistol.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Are you close to the end?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Do you have no dude, I'm not even close to
the end. I think I'm out of scene one. Maybe
you know, but I mean, actually, I don't even care, dude.
I'm just still trying to make him run a new
cool stuff and shoot that pistol as a monster did.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I love it?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
And I'm learning how to outline the bad guy so
i can see him in the dark and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It's great, dude, you're really right now.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
We got to get you on a stream one day
or something.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's like, no, I'm not doing.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
That, dude.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You'll laugh at me.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
That's the point.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Yeah, we talked about all these consoles. Xbox isn't really
doing what they're supposed to the switches though. They they're
producing more and more consoles, which I'm assuming because Pokemon's
coming out, it's gonna be in a higher demand for
the next couple of months. So they're like, hey, we're
gonna put out all these consoles for Christmas time. All
of it's coming out. Oh yeah, they're about to make
a killing. They will make so much money it will
(14:27):
be record Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, it's wild though that they you know, they make
obviously they make money on the hardware. But you buy
that hardware one time every two or three years because
it lasts pretty well. But you'll writing that software more often.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Though, right, Yeah, dude, I've been running my switch since
like twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Dude, Oh yeah, that switch.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Only The only time I even bring out my switch
is when I'm on an airplane.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Really, oh yeah, every time I sear switch, I think
someone is gonna have to go out and cut their
own switch, yeah, to.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Get a beating.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It doesn't know what that means.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yeah, I have no clue on it. I just laughed
like I did.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I actually mean a little bit. Back in the day,
we were kids, we were bad.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Your own parents would send you out to a tree
and you would cut a piece of limb off of it,
bring that to them so they could beat you with it.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
If it wasn't bad enough or big enough, they'd make
you go out and cut it again, or they would
go out and make their choice.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Right Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Oh that sounds like the worst punishment of all time.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It's not fun.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
That was that your video games back in the day, right.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It was Frogger Donkey Kong and avoided beating Right, those
were the two.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
That's the top three game of all time, right there?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
All right, one last thing for us, pig Dog.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Well, I really wanted you.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
I wanted to give you a new game this week
that was gonna be my one.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Please give me one because I can download it and
still kind of tool around while I'm still playing the
other one.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
So this game is kind of like Robocock more more jokey.
Have you ever watched Rick and Morty.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, I mean well just with ros suggested that I didn't.
I didn't get it as much as they expected me to.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Okay, fair enough, Well, this game is made by the
same people.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
We never expected you to get Rick and Morty.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
This game is made by the same people that made
Rick and Morty. Justin Royland not not the greatest guy,
but this is a good game.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
He's a oh yeah, don't do a deep dive.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I my guy.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, don' don't look him up.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Don't
