Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's hey, Deborah, I think you might need to check
with Tori first, because you know how Jim does you
blame it on her setting a cruise data one of
(00:21):
your day that you're getting married. See, you better do that.
This is Scott from Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
You guys, thanks, but I appreciate that so much, scotne
He makes a very good point, though, deb he does.
All right, very good. This way, it's April what now

(00:48):
I'm Jim. There's deb Hello. Jack is here as well.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Day before we get to jayde and I have to laugh.
I was laughing as we came back. I look over
here to the right, and when you see our texting service,
it has the text that comes in, there's the number
it's associated with it, and then we can respond to
you if we'd like. When you respond, there's a little
envelope that shows that it's been responded to. I look
over and said, look up Superbox had it for about
(01:11):
three years now, occasionally had issues, but not very often.
Approximately three hundred and fifty dollars no monthly fees. Somebody
responded to.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That, actually, the top three that all had to do
with hookup streaming TV channels bundled for ninety dollars every
six months.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's funny, all responded to. I wonder, yeah, I mean,
did you respond to a Texas break? No?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I did because he sent me the Holy Chatters for free,
and I'm like, well, I would like to know about that.
Then they said more information than I think.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, very good. All right, let's do eight bit update.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
It's game time on Real Radio. Get ready for the
your quick hit on gaming news reviews and a little
chaos as pop Pomp tries Gaming fit update with Jayden's starts.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Now, everybody excuse me, it's Batman.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Yayman. Might watching like the costume.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I do like the costume. I would rob somebody in
front of you.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
I would stop you. I'm fighting crime tonight?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Or are you going to be creating crime tonight?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I could be who knows?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Are you going out for this for real?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Is? No?
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Absolutely not. I just wanted to wear it today.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Dude, is this something you had around?
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Yeah, I wore this in high school to a Halloween
party like two years ago, and I was like, what
a perfect time to bring out the Batman costumes.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Let me tell you how old I feel. He goes
awarre this in high school. In my head, I'm thinking, oh,
you can still fit in that, and then he drops
it's you a year ago, Like a year ago.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Okay, it's like two years ago. If that makes you
feel bad.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Jayden drops my on Fridays around six point thirty two
kind of share what's going on in the world of gaming.
We have a lot of friends and family out there
and listeners who game and stuff. I'm kind of beginning
to get in there now. I'm gonna give your heads
up right now. I did not get a chance to
get to your game this week.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
It's all right, I need to give you new one
because I knew you did it.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, I please don't, because there's no reason to do that.
I will be able to get to it this weekend,
so I have some free time. This week was a
really tough week, so I did not get a chance
to get in there. But what do you have first?
This week?
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Big though, all right, So I saved this for the
very special day of Halloween. Of course, Halloween. Michael Myers
is getting a video game, a Slasher video game. It
comes out next year.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Sadly, is this the very first one that has Really
it's weird that I don't see many video games that
have like themes like that. I think a Halloween video
game would be pretty bad ass, like a horror based.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
So there's been a couple. Friday the thirteenth had a
game that was really successful. It popped off, it was
alive for years. But I don't know if you know this.
All these slasher characters have the worst like contracts, and
no one knows who owns these characters.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So in other words, it's hard to license the character
to create something around.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yes, it's so hard. You can't even buy the Friday
the thirteenth game and got nuked off the internet because
of that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You know, I know that's correct, dude. We did a
trivia about Texas Chainsaw massacre a while back and that
very thing came up. Not many of the actors or
people worked on it made any money because of the
way the deal was constructed. Because it could be one
word that could separate you from getting your money. But
those people know how to do that stuff. So that
makes perfect sense because that they ran through that very
same thing.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
That's that was my another example. The Texas Chainsaw had
a video game. It was a live It was doing
good for maybe three weeks and I don't even think
you can buy it now.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh really yeah yeah, man. That was a That was
a really interesting part of that story because you would
think it's such a low budget movie that who would
pay attention to that. They didn't think it was going
to do anything, and of course then it became a
phenomenon and then everybody cared and they made tens of
millions of dollars off the licensing of that. And it
was these two mob dudes. That's I didn't know that
that's correct. I think the entire thing was kind of
(04:43):
almost taken over by these two mob guys. If you
read the story about Texas Chainsaw is actually very cool.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
This is why I dress up as Batman. I got
to stop the mob.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Get them, get them Batman.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
So it's it's gonna be like the Friday thirteenth, the
Texas Chainsaw games. It's a it's a one v four
so there's one Michael Meyer versus for survivors, you got
to do tasks to get out of the town or
tail Michael Myers, whatever, whatever the objective is. But we
got to wait a whole year for it. I don't
know why they would announce it coming up to this
Halloween and announce it for next Halloween. It doesn't make
(05:14):
it's it's such bad marketing. I don't it's not bad marketing.
I just don't understand the timeframes when it comes to
these videos.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Do you think they do? You think that users just
kind of understand the time it takes to develop a game,
and it's important for the developers to let people know
that we have this cooking right now? Is that what
do you think is going on?
Speaker 6 (05:31):
Probably because it takes a while to make video games.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Back in the day, you could have made a whole
trilogy of video games in a span of two years.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, because, I mean it just the users didn't really
expect a whole lot.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Yeah no, And it wasn't that hard to make a
video game compared to now, where you have all these engines,
all these graphics, everything. Everyone wants super realistic stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
How do you guys explain, like the popularity of games like, uh, like,
it's not roadblocks, it's the other one Minecraft, Minecraft being
so rudimentary, and then other games to sell, they have
to have the most amazing graphics and sound and everything
like that. Is that just an age different thing?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
You could put that as an age difference thing, But
I just feel like everyone's so picky and it has
to be a good game for people not to care
about the graphics nowadays, like Minecraft. Play Minecraft all day?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I really like it's fun.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Oh yeah, dude, I play Minecraft to this day.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Do you really?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yeah? Okay, it's not like I play it all the time,
But once a year I'll be like, oh Minecraft, that
sounds fun, and I'll play it for like a month.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Isn't that usually played by I mean, I'm not dogging
you here. Isn't that usually like played by kids, like
under an age of twelve, thirteen years old or whatever?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Yeah? Yeah, for sure. I grew up with Minecraft, Huge,
Minecraft kids. So when I go back to it, it's like,
oh man, I'm reliving a childhood.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Thing, right, you remember that's a year or two?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Yeah, this was like like six months ago. Maybe it
wasn't that long.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Stuff, But you're still making us feel bad.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
I told you guys about a Call of Duty movie
not too long ago. Well, we got a little more
news about it. It's gonna be a paramount film. I'm assuming.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, that's great. I mean it's gonna have some fun to.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Get Yeah, exactly. I'm assuming it's gonna be a streaming
movie compared to an actual theaters movie.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It doesn't matter anymore.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
It really doesn't.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I don't think it matters anymore at all. I mean
I used to think that was a big deal.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Don't matter, which is so sad because the movies are
one of my favorite things ever in life.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And there have been a number of very successful video
games turned into movie franchises. You know, a tomb Raider
just starting there. But a bunch of them, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Resident Evil had a couple, Assassin's Creed had some, hit
Man had some. Now I didn't name the best movies,
but their video game movies. Yeah, they still work. But
they got the co co creator of Yellowstone. I have
not seen Yellowstone Hurts a great TV show, though, so
I have some faith in this movie.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I'll be damn. I didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Yeah, this just came out within the last day or
so but the movie again, the Call of Duty movie.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Oh yeah, I've been hearing a lot about that.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Yeah. I didn't think there was like actually gonna get going.
I've been hearing about this since I was in school,
like elementary school. But now it seems like it actually
has funding and everything going behind it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
So they could do a Yellowstone game. Hell of Red Dead?
They could do a game they have it.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
It's Red Dead?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Pretty much? Which is the greatest game of all time?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Thank you? Is it really? Yes? That's so wild that
you guys say that considering most people believe like most
people my age, I should say, I believe that the
gaming community is just basically shooting, just balls out shooting everybody.
But yet Red Dead is that? Is that a common
thought process that the Red Dead's the best game ever?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah, it's up there and it has better graphics. But
you talked about like Minecraft and the simpler games, why
are they still being played? And it's finding that balance
where uh, gamers who play all the time like Jayden here,
or older people who might not be as quick on
the controller and me, thank you, but be able to
(08:52):
enjoy because the game meets you where you are where
it adapts to your skills and allows you to have
that enjoyment in it. And it's such an immersive environment
in Red Dead where you get to catch digital fish
and ride a digital horse and rob a digital bank.
Oh yeah, I like that bart you know, and sleep
with digital hookers easy.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah. Tuberculosis? How does it? My heart? How graphic does
that get? You just kind of go into a room
and just assume it's done. I mean, are you literally
are you literally humping with the joystick?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
And Grand Theft Auto the car you'd see the back
of a car and the car would vibrate, but your
controller vibrates as well.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Back in the day, granted Auto. On the PS two
they had this thing called the Hot Coffee Mod and
there was a mini game where you for real had
had sex with your girlfriend.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It was crazy, way really Yeah, they got it cost
them a lot of money, so much.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Money, they got moved up to an adult rating. They
got taken off shelfs, so they had to remove it completely.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Wow, it wasn't that added. Did they know that was
in there?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
They did.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
They built it into the game and I watched this
whole documentary about it. Then they they buried it, but
they lied about it. They lied about it, and they
were going to release it in the PC version, but
hackers found out about it.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Then it became public.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Then they had to deal with it, and it cost
them all the profits they made it that war.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Yeah, I mean, but now since then have re released
that game about eight times and have made that money
back and double, So they're okay, NBA Street. You don't
have NBA Street. It was maybe, how.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Do you talk to me like that?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
I've just said, I was thinking you are.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You're right when you look at me, you think Street.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
That's og jim right.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Though I have no idea what it's like a street
ball game.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Yeah, it's three exactly, three on three. You jump off
the walls, you do all these crazy yeah, you do
all the trading.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Things like karate basketball.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Yeah, karate basketball. But it's with NBA players. They haven't
made an NBA Street since early two thousands. We finally
have somewhat a new version of it coming back. It's
a little vibe like it. It's called NBA The Run.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
I don't really like the name to it, but we
don't know much about it. It's expected to come out
twenty twenty six all platforms. The graphics look good. It's
kind of like a cartoon mixed with real life.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And they licensed the players from the NBA and put
them in there, so you can be yokick, you can
be wimby.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Give me any of the guys, literally, anyone. I don't
like two K. Two K is so boring to me.
It's been the same game forever, has it?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Really?
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of two K like
I used to be, so I'm actually very excited for
this something new when it comes to basketball.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It's so wild that it's that much time between the
releases of these games. I mean, you would think if
they're successful, they immediately would start kind of developing the
next level of it. But San, you're saying, like these
these have like decades between them. That's crazy. They do
that with like Madden.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
So Madden has been known they have a game every year, right,
and so they just keep you know, printing them. They'll
make some modifications and do another one. But when you
have a game that's a little more advanced, like Grand
Theft Auto and so immersive, it and so say have
success and so the next one, they're like, well, people
(12:03):
are going to be expecting more, so we have to
make it better. So now the time gap is just
going greater and greater in between games. But also what
they've done to allow them to do that is they
found a way to fight to to generate money by
in game purchases, and then that that pays for all
those years in between. So now they don't have to
(12:25):
rush a game out just to sell the game, because
they can sell you on stuff inside the game you're
already playing.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Cool.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Yeah, And a lot of these sports games sell their
rights to like EA. For example, with Madden, only EA
can make a football game. When it comes to the
NFL and the college like they they're really weird with
sports rights.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
They don't know that.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Yeah, they just sell them off and they E I
think just extended their deal with the NFL for Madden too.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Yeah, so EA would keep making those games. There's a
new game on the Horizon called Dispatch. It's kind of
like a Telltale game Telltale games where the story games
you pick all the choices that have. Yeah, it's like
a movie really that you control. So I love those
games so much. This one's like a superhero workplace comedy.
But the main character is Aaron Paul Is it really yeah?
(13:11):
From Breaking Back? Yeah, the best show ever. So I'm
so excited for this.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That's super cool. You sho to watch that back in
high school or middle school?
Speaker 6 (13:18):
It was high school. It was high school.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It was the beginning of high school. It was the
beginning high school on line.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Come on, it was junior year.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It wasn't junior year.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It could have been junior year, but the series was
already done by that way long god, yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Way, I was way behind, but I still watched it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You weren't waiting for episodes, Doug, I was not. I
can't tell you the last you were getting changed.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I was watching them in class. Yeah, uh so, yeah,
we Aaron Paul is the main character. They have a
bunch of different YouTubers for that game. I don't know
what the budget was for that, but they got like
high profile YouTubers to voice people.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Really.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Yeah, so I just kind of came out of nowhere.
It seems like a fun game, though, I definitely buy it. Yeah,
I love those games.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
It's just wild. It really is a changing of the guard.
I mean to think that they're going to hire YouTubers
to do voiceovers going back in the day, that would
be actors or actresses only because those would be the
only names that people would recognize. But now the younger
generation probably recognizes way more online personalities than they ever
would from mainstream entertainment.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Yeah. This guy on Twitch, his name's Penguins. He showed
how much money he's made on streaming and it's well
over five million dollars and he's like, yeah, I'm done
with donations. I don't need your money anymore. Thanks, guys.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That's crazy name.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Yeah, don't worry. I'll throw it in there Now's okay, cool,
but I need the money first, so we'll have to
like fifty fifty ye. I told you guys about Fallout Day.
Fallout Day was horrible, no good announcements. They came out
with stuff for Fallout seventy six. No one cares about
Fallout seventy six. It's been years. And then they teased
a new Vegas remastered and it wasn't a remastered. It
was just people saying thank you for playing this fifteen
(14:54):
year old game. Here's the same game, but you get
a statue when you buy it. This time a statue
only game, you know, like you can put it on
your desk.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
They'll get out of it.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Yeah, dude, fifteen year old game, sixty dollars, you get
a statue with it? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Wow? But if it seems to me like the Grand Theft,
autos would be the most difficult to make because they
change the location of those games all the time, so
they have to reboot the entire look of the game,
whereas opposed to some of these other games like NBA
or NFL or whatever, it's still just a football game.
All you have to do is really update the names
and the teams and things of that nature, right, I
(15:27):
mean yeah, So it'd be easier for them to put
one out every year as opposed to a Grand Theft,
or they have to change it from Miami to the
Chicago or LA or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Right right, I completely understand that. But when Fallout New
Vegas is a fifteen year old game and you hype
it up like it's going to be a brand new game,
and then you just give me the same garbage.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Ye, there's a lot of that in that industry, right,
There's too much. And the reason why is because people
buy it. Yeah, people pay attention to it because so
they're ganging so bad exactly, their new stuff that they'll
do anything to get a touch. They used to like
the iPhone thing, like dude, we wait outside the store
for an iPhone, like for hours, like sleep over night, Hey,
like it's gonna be there tomorrow, dog.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Exactly. It's it's the stupidity of people, and they will
keep buying it and buying it and buying it and
buying it. I don't understand. This is my last thing here,
Battlefield six. I've been talking about.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
It a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
You been waiting for this, like crazy.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Yes, I love Battlefield six. It's a very fun game.
But they came out with a battle Royale. No one
cares about a battle Royale. Like five years ago, it
would have been popular, would have been cool, but it's
just not a game mode people play anymore. Stop wasting
your money on these game modes people won't play, and
just make your multiplayer phenomenal. It already is, but you
can make it even more phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So Battlefield a shooting game, yes, okay, So wait when
you say royale, what does that mean?
Speaker 6 (16:37):
I mean you versus like one hundred different people, and
you're just it's like a survival you have to find
That's hey, Deborah, I think you might need to check
with Tori first, because you know how Jim does you
blame it on her setting a cruise data one of
(00:21):
your day that you're getting married. See, you better do that.
This is Scott from Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
You guys, thanks, but I appreciate that so much, scotne
He makes a very good point, though, deb he does.
All right, very good. This way, it's April what now

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Day before we get to jayde and I have to laugh.
I was laughing as we came back. I look over
here to the right, and when you see our texting service,
it has the text that comes in, there's the number
it's associated with it, and then we can respond to
you if we'd like. When you respond, there's a little
envelope that shows that it's been responded to. I look
over and said, look up Superbox had it for about
(01:11):
three years now, occasionally had issues, but not very often.
Approximately three hundred and fifty dollars no monthly fees. Somebody
responded to.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That, actually, the top three that all had to do
with hookup streaming TV channels bundled for ninety dollars every
six months.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's funny, all responded to. I wonder, yeah, I mean,
did you respond to a Texas break? No?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I did because he sent me the Holy Chatters for free,
and I'm like, well, I would like to know about that.
Then they said more information than I think.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, very good. All right, let's do eight bit update.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
It's game time on Real Radio. Get ready for the
your quick hit on gaming news reviews and a little
chaos as pop Pomp tries Gaming fit update with Jayden's starts.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Now, everybody excuse me, it's Batman.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Yayman. Might watching like the costume.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I do like the costume. I would rob somebody in
front of you.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
I would stop you. I'm fighting crime tonight?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Or are you going to be creating crime tonight?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I could be who knows?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Are you going out for this for real?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Is? No?
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Absolutely not. I just wanted to wear it today.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Dude, is this something you had around?
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Yeah, I wore this in high school to a Halloween
party like two years ago, and I was like, what
a perfect time to bring out the Batman costumes.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Let me tell you how old I feel. He goes
awarre this in high school. In my head, I'm thinking, oh,
you can still fit in that, and then he drops
it's you a year ago, Like a year ago.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Okay, it's like two years ago. If that makes you
feel bad.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Jayden drops my on Fridays around six point thirty two
kind of share what's going on in the world of gaming.
We have a lot of friends and family out there
and listeners who game and stuff. I'm kind of beginning
to get in there now. I'm gonna give your heads
up right now. I did not get a chance to
get to your game this week.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
It's all right, I need to give you new one
because I knew you did it.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, I please don't, because there's no reason to do that.
I will be able to get to it this weekend,
so I have some free time. This week was a
really tough week, so I did not get a chance
to get in there. But what do you have first?
This week?
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Big though, all right, So I saved this for the
very special day of Halloween. Of course, Halloween. Michael Myers
is getting a video game, a Slasher video game. It
comes out next year.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Sadly, is this the very first one that has Really
it's weird that I don't see many video games that
have like themes like that. I think a Halloween video
game would be pretty bad ass, like a horror based.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
So there's been a couple. Friday the thirteenth had a
game that was really successful. It popped off, it was
alive for years. But I don't know if you know this.
All these slasher characters have the worst like contracts, and
no one knows who owns these characters.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So in other words, it's hard to license the character
to create something around.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yes, it's so hard. You can't even buy the Friday
the thirteenth game and got nuked off the internet because
of that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You know, I know that's correct, dude. We did a
trivia about Texas Chainsaw massacre a while back and that
very thing came up. Not many of the actors or
people worked on it made any money because of the
way the deal was constructed. Because it could be one
word that could separate you from getting your money. But
those people know how to do that stuff. So that
makes perfect sense because that they ran through that very
same thing.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
That's that was my another example. The Texas Chainsaw had
a video game. It was a live It was doing
good for maybe three weeks and I don't even think
you can buy it now.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh really yeah yeah, man. That was a That was
a really interesting part of that story because you would
think it's such a low budget movie that who would
pay attention to that. They didn't think it was going
to do anything, and of course then it became a
phenomenon and then everybody cared and they made tens of
millions of dollars off the licensing of that. And it
was these two mob dudes. That's I didn't know that
that's correct. I think the entire thing was kind of
(04:43):
almost taken over by these two mob guys. If you
read the story about Texas Chainsaw is actually very cool.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
This is why I dress up as Batman. I got
to stop the mob.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Get them, get them Batman.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
So it's it's gonna be like the Friday thirteenth, the
Texas Chainsaw games. It's a it's a one v four
so there's one Michael Meyer versus for survivors, you got
to do tasks to get out of the town or
tail Michael Myers, whatever, whatever the objective is. But we
got to wait a whole year for it. I don't
know why they would announce it coming up to this
Halloween and announce it for next Halloween. It doesn't make
(05:14):
it's it's such bad marketing. I don't it's not bad marketing.
I just don't understand the timeframes when it comes to
these videos.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Do you think they do? You think that users just
kind of understand the time it takes to develop a game,
and it's important for the developers to let people know
that we have this cooking right now? Is that what
do you think is going on?
Speaker 6 (05:31):
Probably because it takes a while to make video games.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Back in the day, you could have made a whole
trilogy of video games in a span of two years.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, because, I mean it just the users didn't really
expect a whole lot.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Yeah no, And it wasn't that hard to make a
video game compared to now, where you have all these engines,
all these graphics, everything. Everyone wants super realistic stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
How do you guys explain, like the popularity of games like, uh, like,
it's not roadblocks, it's the other one Minecraft, Minecraft being
so rudimentary, and then other games to sell, they have
to have the most amazing graphics and sound and everything
like that. Is that just an age different thing?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
You could put that as an age difference thing, But
I just feel like everyone's so picky and it has
to be a good game for people not to care
about the graphics nowadays, like Minecraft. Play Minecraft all day?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I really like it's fun.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Oh yeah, dude, I play Minecraft to this day.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Do you really?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yeah? Okay, it's not like I play it all the time,
But once a year I'll be like, oh Minecraft, that
sounds fun, and I'll play it for like a month.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Isn't that usually played by I mean, I'm not dogging
you here. Isn't that usually like played by kids, like
under an age of twelve, thirteen years old or whatever?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Yeah? Yeah, for sure. I grew up with Minecraft, Huge,
Minecraft kids. So when I go back to it, it's like,
oh man, I'm reliving a childhood.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Thing, right, you remember that's a year or two?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Yeah, this was like like six months ago. Maybe it
wasn't that long.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Stuff, But you're still making us feel bad.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
I told you guys about a Call of Duty movie
not too long ago. Well, we got a little more
news about it. It's gonna be a paramount film. I'm assuming.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, that's great. I mean it's gonna have some fun to.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Get Yeah, exactly. I'm assuming it's gonna be a streaming
movie compared to an actual theaters movie.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It doesn't matter anymore.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
It really doesn't.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I don't think it matters anymore at all. I mean
I used to think that was a big deal.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Don't matter, which is so sad because the movies are
one of my favorite things ever in life.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And there have been a number of very successful video
games turned into movie franchises. You know, a tomb Raider
just starting there. But a bunch of them, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Resident Evil had a couple, Assassin's Creed had some, hit
Man had some. Now I didn't name the best movies,
but their video game movies. Yeah, they still work. But
they got the co co creator of Yellowstone. I have
not seen Yellowstone Hurts a great TV show, though, so
I have some faith in this movie.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I'll be damn. I didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Yeah, this just came out within the last day or
so but the movie again, the Call of Duty movie.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Oh yeah, I've been hearing a lot about that.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Yeah. I didn't think there was like actually gonna get going.
I've been hearing about this since I was in school,
like elementary school. But now it seems like it actually
has funding and everything going behind it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
So they could do a Yellowstone game. Hell of Red Dead?
They could do a game they have it.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
It's Red Dead?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Pretty much? Which is the greatest game of all time?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Thank you? Is it really? Yes? That's so wild that
you guys say that considering most people believe like most
people my age, I should say, I believe that the
gaming community is just basically shooting, just balls out shooting everybody.
But yet Red Dead is that? Is that a common
thought process that the Red Dead's the best game ever?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah, it's up there and it has better graphics. But
you talked about like Minecraft and the simpler games, why
are they still being played? And it's finding that balance
where uh, gamers who play all the time like Jayden here,
or older people who might not be as quick on
the controller and me, thank you, but be able to
(08:52):
enjoy because the game meets you where you are where
it adapts to your skills and allows you to have
that enjoyment in it. And it's such an immersive environment
in Red Dead where you get to catch digital fish
and ride a digital horse and rob a digital bank.
Oh yeah, I like that bart you know, and sleep
with digital hookers easy.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah. Tuberculosis? How does it? My heart? How graphic does
that get? You just kind of go into a room
and just assume it's done. I mean, are you literally
are you literally humping with the joystick?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
And Grand Theft Auto the car you'd see the back
of a car and the car would vibrate, but your
controller vibrates as well.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Back in the day, granted Auto. On the PS two
they had this thing called the Hot Coffee Mod and
there was a mini game where you for real had
had sex with your girlfriend.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It was crazy, way really Yeah, they got it cost
them a lot of money, so much.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Money, they got moved up to an adult rating. They
got taken off shelfs, so they had to remove it completely.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Wow, it wasn't that added. Did they know that was
in there?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
They did.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
They built it into the game and I watched this
whole documentary about it. Then they they buried it, but
they lied about it. They lied about it, and they
were going to release it in the PC version, but
hackers found out about it.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Then it became public.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Then they had to deal with it, and it cost
them all the profits they made it that war.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Yeah, I mean, but now since then have re released
that game about eight times and have made that money
back and double, So they're okay, NBA Street. You don't
have NBA Street. It was maybe, how.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Do you talk to me like that?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
I've just said, I was thinking you are.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You're right when you look at me, you think Street.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
That's og jim right.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Though I have no idea what it's like a street
ball game.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Yeah, it's three exactly, three on three. You jump off
the walls, you do all these crazy yeah, you do
all the trading.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Things like karate basketball.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Yeah, karate basketball. But it's with NBA players. They haven't
made an NBA Street since early two thousands. We finally
have somewhat a new version of it coming back. It's
a little vibe like it. It's called NBA The Run.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
I don't really like the name to it, but we
don't know much about it. It's expected to come out
twenty twenty six all platforms. The graphics look good. It's
kind of like a cartoon mixed with real life.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And they licensed the players from the NBA and put
them in there, so you can be yokick, you can
be wimby.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Give me any of the guys, literally, anyone. I don't
like two K. Two K is so boring to me.
It's been the same game forever, has it?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Really?
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of two K like
I used to be, so I'm actually very excited for
this something new when it comes to basketball.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It's so wild that it's that much time between the
releases of these games. I mean, you would think if
they're successful, they immediately would start kind of developing the
next level of it. But San, you're saying, like these
these have like decades between them. That's crazy. They do
that with like Madden.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
So Madden has been known they have a game every year, right,
and so they just keep you know, printing them. They'll
make some modifications and do another one. But when you
have a game that's a little more advanced, like Grand
Theft Auto and so immersive, it and so say have
success and so the next one, they're like, well, people
(12:03):
are going to be expecting more, so we have to
make it better. So now the time gap is just
going greater and greater in between games. But also what
they've done to allow them to do that is they
found a way to fight to to generate money by
in game purchases, and then that that pays for all
those years in between. So now they don't have to
(12:25):
rush a game out just to sell the game, because
they can sell you on stuff inside the game you're
already playing.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Cool.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Yeah, And a lot of these sports games sell their
rights to like EA. For example, with Madden, only EA
can make a football game. When it comes to the
NFL and the college like they they're really weird with
sports rights.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
They don't know that.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Yeah, they just sell them off and they E I
think just extended their deal with the NFL for Madden too.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Yeah, so EA would keep making those games. There's a
new game on the Horizon called Dispatch. It's kind of
like a Telltale game Telltale games where the story games
you pick all the choices that have. Yeah, it's like
a movie really that you control. So I love those
games so much. This one's like a superhero workplace comedy.
But the main character is Aaron Paul Is it really yeah?
(13:11):
From Breaking Back? Yeah, the best show ever. So I'm
so excited for this.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That's super cool. You sho to watch that back in
high school or middle school?
Speaker 6 (13:18):
It was high school. It was high school.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It was the beginning of high school. It was the
beginning high school on line.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Come on, it was junior year.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It wasn't junior year.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It could have been junior year, but the series was
already done by that way long god, yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Way, I was way behind, but I still watched it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You weren't waiting for episodes, Doug, I was not. I
can't tell you the last you were getting changed.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I was watching them in class. Yeah, uh so, yeah,
we Aaron Paul is the main character. They have a
bunch of different YouTubers for that game. I don't know
what the budget was for that, but they got like
high profile YouTubers to voice people.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Really.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Yeah, so I just kind of came out of nowhere.
It seems like a fun game, though, I definitely buy it. Yeah,
I love those games.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
It's just wild. It really is a changing of the guard.
I mean to think that they're going to hire YouTubers
to do voiceovers going back in the day, that would
be actors or actresses only because those would be the
only names that people would recognize. But now the younger
generation probably recognizes way more online personalities than they ever
would from mainstream entertainment.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Yeah. This guy on Twitch, his name's Penguins. He showed
how much money he's made on streaming and it's well
over five million dollars and he's like, yeah, I'm done
with donations. I don't need your money anymore. Thanks, guys.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That's crazy name.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Yeah, don't worry. I'll throw it in there Now's okay, cool,
but I need the money first, so we'll have to
like fifty fifty ye. I told you guys about Fallout Day.
Fallout Day was horrible, no good announcements. They came out
with stuff for Fallout seventy six. No one cares about
Fallout seventy six. It's been years. And then they teased
a new Vegas remastered and it wasn't a remastered. It
was just people saying thank you for playing this fifteen
(14:54):
year old game. Here's the same game, but you get
a statue when you buy it. This time a statue
only game, you know, like you can put it on
your desk.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
They'll get out of it.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Yeah, dude, fifteen year old game, sixty dollars, you get
a statue with it? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Wow? But if it seems to me like the Grand Theft,
autos would be the most difficult to make because they
change the location of those games all the time, so
they have to reboot the entire look of the game,
whereas opposed to some of these other games like NBA
or NFL or whatever, it's still just a football game.
All you have to do is really update the names
and the teams and things of that nature, right, I
(15:27):
mean yeah, So it'd be easier for them to put
one out every year as opposed to a Grand Theft,
or they have to change it from Miami to the
Chicago or LA or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Right right, I completely understand that. But when Fallout New
Vegas is a fifteen year old game and you hype
it up like it's going to be a brand new game,
and then you just give me the same garbage.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Ye, there's a lot of that in that industry, right,
There's too much. And the reason why is because people
buy it. Yeah, people pay attention to it because so
they're ganging so bad exactly, their new stuff that they'll
do anything to get a touch. They used to like
the iPhone thing, like dude, we wait outside the store
for an iPhone, like for hours, like sleep over night, Hey,
like it's gonna be there tomorrow, dog.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Exactly. It's it's the stupidity of people, and they will
keep buying it and buying it and buying it and
buying it. I don't understand. This is my last thing here,
Battlefield six. I've been talking about.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
It a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
You been waiting for this, like crazy.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Yes, I love Battlefield six. It's a very fun game.
But they came out with a battle Royale. No one
cares about a battle Royale. Like five years ago, it
would have been popular, would have been cool, but it's
just not a game mode people play anymore. Stop wasting
your money on these game modes people won't play, and
just make your multiplayer phenomenal. It already is, but you
can make it even more phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So Battlefield a shooting game, yes, okay, So wait when
you say royale, what does that mean?
Speaker 6 (16:37):
I mean you versus like one hundred different people, and
you're just it's like a survival you have to find
