Could the latest installment of Call of Duty be the most successful yet? Join us as we unpack the groundbreaking achievements of Black Ops 6 and its unforeseen triumph on platforms like Sony and Steam. With franchise veteran Miles Leslie giving us insider insights, we compare Call of Duty's half a billion sales milestone to the iconic Grand Theft Auto series. From our personal gaming escapades to the thrilling multiplayer experiences, this episode is a treat for both seasoned gamers and newcomers. We'll even tackle the all-important debate: campaign mode or multiplayer madness?

The world of gaming is vast, and we venture into discussing the highs and lows of major franchises. From the enduring appeal of FIFA and Mario to the struggles faced by once-greats like Halo and Gears of War, we cover it all. Plus, we offer a balanced take on the PlayStation 5 Pro, with opinions from IGN and Engadget to help you decide if it's truly worth the upgrade. And for those curious about the gaming charts, we've got the latest on October's top downloaded PlayStation games, where some classics just refuse to exit the stage.

But it's not all games and gadgets; we also delve into the real-world impacts of Sony's recent studio closures affecting 210 employees and the bittersweet farewell of Cobra Kai's final season. To lift the mood, we share a humorous family gaming challenge featuring Josh, our honorary "Wangster of the Week," and wrap things up with some light-hearted banter about weekend plans and a spontaneous Disney on Ice outing. So, whether you're tuning in for insights, laughs, or a bit of both, this episode has something for everyone!

But we also are going to talkabout our Trail of the Week.
We'll let you know our Trail ofthe Week, but beginning today's
show talking about Mr Amazing,Call of Duty.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Call of Duty baby.
Black Ops 6 is out in storesnow and it launches to record
sales.
And now that it's launches torecord sales, and now it doesn't
launch to record sales, peoplesaw Sony excuse me, not Sony,
sony and Steam saw 60% jump insales of their hardware consoles

(01:20):
with the launching of the BlackOps 6.
So Black Ops 6, everybody isBlack Ops 6, everybody's getting
paid.
People thought, oh, with itbeing a game pass, that it
wasn't going to be the same, itwasn't going to be that.
But boy were we wrong.
It was quite the opposite,because this game comes with a
brand new engaging experiencewith the campaign and

(01:42):
multiplayer, and the campaign'sactually gotten good reviews.
Oh see, it's just, it's crazy,because I wanted to play the
campaign on my son's PlayStation, but yo, it was so big, that's
the thing.
I was like damn, I felt baddownloading it anyway because
it's not my Sony.
I was like, whatever, I'm stilldownloading it, it's yours.
So I downloaded it on his Sony,so I'm going to play it this

(02:04):
weekend on his, because I waslike how you put this thing on
my thing, but wow.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Oh, he only got the multiplayer part.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
He didn't download the campaign, but I did it when
he went downstairs.
I just downloaded it on hisSony.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
He downloaded that.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
He knows that because he's mad.
What you did that for?
Whatever, he can delete itafterwards.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I want to play the campaign part in the zombies.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, yeah, that looks fun too actually.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
The multiplayer I might play.
If Tyler's online, Yo, Ibrought your team, then I'll
play it.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
But I have no interest in playing it by myself
.
I'm going to get whipped.
I'm way off.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Unless I have a squad , I am not playing no Call of
Duty by myself.
So I get my butt whipped andbadly, badly butt whipped.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
And very soon this week they have season one kicks
off, so they're already jumpingright into the hype of things.
So that's pretty cool and afigure.
I gotta give Call of Dutycredit for this.
The franchise has hit half abillion sales Currently.

(03:11):
It hit it yeah, it hit it Halfa billion sales, not Black Ops,
but the franchise in generalhits half a billion sales.
That says a lot.
That says a lot.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
According to the Washington Post, there's a 500
million figure, which wasreached prior to Black Ops 6.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, that's not counting Black Ops 6.
That's not even counting BlackOps 6.
So it's way more than that.
Now, michael, that's crazy.
You don't see those kind offigures that easily.
When it comes to gaming, that'sa great milestone, unless
you're talking about Grand TheftAuto baby.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh, they're doing Grand.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Theft Auto.
You're right, there's only oneother series that could probably
do that, and that's Grand.
Not probably it is doing that,it's Grand Theft Auto you're
right.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
You know what I'm saying.
That's the king baby.
Yeah, definitely so.
Like I said, I'm not thebiggest Grand Theft Auto I mean
Call of Duty fan, but the pressis sales and most times I just
play the campaign.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, now I just play the campaign mode, Because I
hop on one thing and play it andI'm dead in less than five
seconds.
So I'd rather watch otherpeople play and enjoy their
success.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh yeah, and according to a recent interview
with BBC, miles Leslie, a16-year veteran of the Call of
Duty franchise for Treyarch,stated that Steam and
PlayStation base sales of BlackOps 6 have been dozed on Modern
Warfare 3 by 60%.

(04:41):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
That goes to show you the success of this game.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
It's a good game.
I mean, it's one of the biggestfranchises in the world.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, of course, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I mean on an assistant basis.
What do you think of the three,we'll say five biggest
franchises of gaming?

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Franchises of just gaming.
Gaming, oh, number one is Mario, not Franchises of just gaming.
Gaming, oh, number one is Mario, not number one.
But no particular order, butI'm going to, I'm going to go
with Mario, because that's theone I always do.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I think you got to say Mario, because it's the one
that's long-standing you justsaid one of them, grand Theft
Auto.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yes, call of Duty is definitely there.
That's three.
You got to put Madden in.
That puts up numbers, man itjust puts up numbers.
Out of all sports games, Ithink Madden is the one.
Fifa, you're right, fifa'sthere too.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Now FIFA's there, you're right, so you have to
five.
I totally agree with all fiveof them.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's four.
That's four, though we saidyeah, because we took out, we
took FIFA for Madden.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
And then oh, FIFA for Madden in there.
You can throw Madden in there.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I was trying to avoid going to two sports games.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Sports games, I mean, let's say, let's give it
another sports game, madden,what else?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
So we said, refresh my memory, we got Mario, call of
Duty, grand Theft Auto, fifaand one more.
Who are you giving that lastslot to 4-0,?
Fifa and one more.
Who are you giving that last?

Speaker 1 (06:06):
slot to.
I have things in my head Ican't say it's evil.
It is very popular.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's popular, but not .

Speaker 1 (06:12):
But not money-wise.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Exactly, and that's the same reason why I can't say
Uncharted, because it hasn'tbeen enough for them, for me.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
There's enough Uncharted but, like I said, the
legacy is not as long as thewhole series and also the money,
why I don't think they madethat much money on the combine.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
I can say the same thing about this, given what I'm
about to mention, but thenumbers say that it's worth it.
What, god of War?
The money says it's worth it,though, come on.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
The money says it's worth it has a long longevity
For the combined sales of God ofWar.
God of War.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
It was the give of the decade, the God of War, the
2018 one, all right.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
So I mean we'll go with God of War.
God of War, I think, God of Wargets it.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
How about Halo?
I think it got hurt.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
What happened to it recently?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Last two years.
Yeah, it hurt, especially last,this recent one.
Heard it, so no, it would havebeen in the conversation, but it
fell off, and just same thing.
I can say the same thing aboutGears of War.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Gears of War I promise.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, it had a lot of problems, but that took too
much, it took too long to makecoming between, and then one of
them was just so.
So, yeah, that's okay.
So I'm content with the list Ijust gave.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Thank you, sir well, mr, amazing what are we jumping
into?
We're gonna jump into, mrAmazing.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
we're gonna jump into guess what uh oh, good news or
bad news?

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I don't know it depends what side you're on.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Ooh, alright, bring it to me, bring it to me.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
PlayStation Pro reviews are out.
Mr Amazing, oh okay, some good,mostly some good and some okay.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh, I can't even think of a PlayStation 7 bad
review for that system.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Go ahead, put them to me.
Ign gave it a 7.
I mean that's good, but that'slow to me.
Okay, we'll go to Engadget.
Okay, they Slow to me.
Okay, we'll go to Engadget.
Okay.
They stated PlayStation 5 Prois a powerful console ever made,
but you pay dearly for itsperformance.
The PlayStation 4 clearly isn'tmeant for anyone who

(08:18):
prioritizes value, unless Idon't know, unless, of course,
you are comparing it to afull-fledged gaming PC.
If you want 4K like graphicswith ray tracing and 60 frames
per second, the PlayStation Prois simply your best choice for

(08:40):
under $1,000.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
That damn near worth near it though.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
GameRadar UK gave $80,000.
$8,000 pretty much We'll say$8,000.
Game Hub gave it $8,000.
Game Radar gave it a $7,000.
Ign let's see what they gave ita $7,000.
At $700, it's not cheap, not atall.
So you really have to decidethe visual upgrade, knowing it

(09:08):
doesn't transform the gameplayexperience as a fundamental
level and, to be fair, sonynever said it wouldn't so as if
the stand as it stands, thePlayStation Pro isn't essential.
No freaking kidding IGN.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
They had to throw the one-two in there.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
It's one thing that people say, well, it's not
necessary, Look it's a do whatit's supposed to do it is.
That's all that matters.
You don't need to get one.
That's what people say oh,you're not worth.
If you got a PlayStation 5, getit.
If you go for the PlayStationPro and you want that, get it.
Exactly, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Like for me, if I got a PlayStation Pro, to me it's
like I got the PlayStation 8.
Because I'm coming from a 1080,y'all, I'm coming from a 1080
TV to a Pro.
It's a big deal for me.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
You just need a new TV, mr Maze, I know.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
I just need a new TV, you're right, but no real talk,
though.
I mean, like Mike said, man, ifyou got it, get it.
You know, do you need it?
No, but if you got it, get it.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
If you have the money you want it, get it, get it.
Like I said, it's talkingconsole release we could talk
about.
Yeah, so that's.
I mean it keeps Sony's thing inthe news.
But also, mr A, the plus sideof this it's the new one selling
console on Amazon.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Oh, wow, that's brand new, so it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, but you know what I'm talking about Xbox.
Nah, the new one, didn't thenew one?
Come out it, and then a new onecome out, it's already it is
right With a two terabyte.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
It's already, is it out?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I don't know how YouTubers have it.
I don't know if it's out.
I believe it's out, it's out, Imean it's out, then I'm looking
to that.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Actually, I believe it's out.
Nobody's talking about it.
That's true too.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
They do.
One is white, one is black,with little silver sparks on it.
What I'm gonna say?
I call it freckles and my thingis like nobody's, that's cause
they ain't got no gays man, ifyou had gays, you could talk
about it oh, mr Amazing, theycome in strong with Indiana.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Jones, that should look forward.
But hey, guess what?
Three weeks, three months, fourmonths later I can get another
Sony Pro.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
You might say a minute later.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I know pretty much.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
And they also got Stalker 2 coming out.
Okay, fair, you know what I'msaying, but no, you don't need
it.
No, you don't, you know what?
I'm saying you don't need it.
But a lot of stuff in life wedon't need but we get it.
Yeah, that's true.
If your heart desires to get it, go get it.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Listen y'all.
Mike probably got onedownstairs, yeah, but I do got
one downstairs.
I probably do got onedownstairs.
You got one downstairs.
You know what?

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'm saying I ain't going to tell Mr Maze it.
I got a lot of buffalo wings.
I got a lot of buffalo wingsand the funny thing lie, mr Mays
will lowball you.
It's work, though it's work.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I got a 360.
Guess how much I got my 360 for?
No one's going to believe this.
$100.
And this is the height of it.
When it first came out, I gotit for $100.
Playstation you are.
It was $100, right, I think itwas $150.
You were the extra $50.

(12:24):
Well, guess what it was at theheight.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
I think the only systems I paid full price for
was my PS5 and, ladies andgentlemen, my Nintendo Not
Switch, it's Switch 2, but theWii.
I think I said it'd be at fullprice.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Did I give you guys a PlayStation 4?
A PlayStation 4?
The disc drive wasn't working,though.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Maybe Tyler.
Yeah, tyler got the disc drive,the PlayStation 4, I bought the
Drake Collection one.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, I think I gave him that one and also the Xbox.
Didn't they get the VCR Xbox?

Speaker 2 (12:58):
You might have.
I have so many Xboxes at thehouse I'm like where'd they come
from?
I don't know where thesesystems come from.
Did they buy this?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
But yeah, yeah.
So, mr Amazing, will you get aPlayStation Pro?
You ain't got one of the fiveand everybody got bills.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, we're adults here.
Yeah, you know.
Do I want one?
Yeah, but am I going to get it?
No, I would like that too.
That's the one I'll be likeyeah, I'll get that.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
The only thing is that if I had to do it over
again regarding the PlayStationPro console, PlayStation 5
console, just in general, I'llgive it a bigger terror drive.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, absolutely I agree, because I bought mine a
year ago.
It's probably filled up.
Yeah, I bought mine a year agoand I'm like, damn, I don't play
that many games.
Like you know, I'm mostly hereplaying games with you.
But I was like, nah, I needthat too, because lately I've
been buying a lot of games.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, because you buy a lot of games.
Let's say, if you bought theCall of Duty, then you bought
Silent Hill, then you boughtanother game.
Then they say the Wolf game.
We call what's the game by SNKwhich one you talk about.
City of Wolves.
That comes out, oh yeah yeah,yeah, other characters, oh no,

(14:10):
it's gonna fill up it fills up,I should've got 2K also yeah,
cause I got, we got 4K we wouldsave up the extra dollars no 5K,
we still have 4TB, I mean 4TB.
It's part of me yeah, um, yeah,yeah, because I got the one one
terabyte extra.
Yeah, I got that too.
I wish I had got two terabytesme too.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
I definitely wish I did that.
That's the most I did.
I mean, we can still get it,but it's just like I gotta spend
.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
I still have 100.
I'm trying to think how do youswitch?
How do you gotta switch?
Come on, you gotta switch itout, what you gonna do with the
extra things it's or switchedover to a standard drive,
whatever.
But, Mr Amazing, let's go tothis.
Mr Amazing, back to Sony.
No, Spider-Man DLC,disappointment, disappointment.

(14:55):
People were so, oh, begging forthis, mr Amazing.
They were Waiting.
Anticipating Sony said hell, no, it's not happening.
Mr Amazing, how do you feelabout that?
Yeah, anticipating Sony saidhell, no, it's not happening.
It's amazing.
How do you feel about that?
Yeah let's go deeper into thatyeah, cause Sony.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
You know, insomniac had people.
There was two narratives, therewas two loose ends, pretty much
a sequel or the rumored Venomspin-off.
Is that what it was?
Yeah, and we all got teasedwhen they got.
When Sony got hacked, yeah,where we saw some stuff, but
they scrapped everything off.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Even the multiplayer games.
Even the yeah and they didn'tnotice until the video of that.
I wasn't playing thatmultiplayer game, exactly.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
And for a $70 price point.
A lot of people feel like itdoesn't warrant that, because
the game was even that long, ifyou know.
If you know, I haven't playedit yet, though actually, what
Five man 2?
Yeah, it's not that long of agame.
People say, well, how long youwant the game to be?
I guess, like the last one, thefirst one, the first one was
long.
It was pretty decent.
It was pretty long.
No, I played the game.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
I played that game.
I played over 20 hours in thatgame.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
No, it's definitely more than 20 hours.
I was comparing your hours andmy hours For both games I played
over 20 hours, yeah, but thefirst one is way longer than the
second one though I played bothtoo, I think over 20 hours.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
I think I have to look, but I more stuff outside
gigs with it.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, you know me, I like those side missions stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I thought Miles Riles was longer, but I didn't play
like 13 hours.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Miles was short.
No, that was a short game.
Yeah, I beat that game shorttoo.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
I was satisfied with that game, because you can still
do little side missions, stufflike that.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
But I've been fed up saying that Price Point doesn't
satisfy it though.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
But everybody, I that's a good joke.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
But do you think Insomniac scrapped that because
of the the leaks, the leaks andthe reviews?
People probably saw it Like ohno, that's not it.
Or maybe they're still workingon it and they just don't want
to see.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Look at that and of course it's the budget.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
You got other stuff to do at any time and then you
know they won't do that.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Venom game.
Yeah, you know they're probablygoing to do that.
So I mean it sucks Because theprevious Spy I mean because the
previous Spy had three DLCs,yeah, yeah, so they were
probably anticipating that.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
And, who knows, maybe they might still do it, but
they're trying to keep it on,hush-hush on, like last time.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
So it could be that too.
So we don't know.
My PlayStation Pro.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Spider-Man edition.
I got the.
It was told that I was going toget the.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
DLC, dlc.
I remember when you first gotthat you was playing, I was like
yo, this game looks hot.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
I remember that you know what I'm saying, so sorry
people.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Those are my best those are my best DLC.
I'm going to get this game.
This is going to Black Fridaygame Astro Bot.
You know, I was thinking aboutbuy two, get one free.
I was thinking what games am Igoing to get?
Mike, you just got me my thirdgame, so it's going to be Astro
Bot, spider-man, and then thethird free one I don't know what
it's going to be actually, butI got two, though.
At least I got two.

(17:54):

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Silent Hill number 4 Undisputed.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Now we get to the top 3.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Undisputed Top 2 Now is Dragon Ball, sparky Zero and
the King of Kings of.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
The top three are pretty much the three recent
games actually.
So what about surprise?
It's just the fact that DragonBall at one point was killing it
and that didn't last too long.
But Dragon Ball sold very welltoo, actually.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
You know what's funny ?
We look at the placing of fourlists In the place.
In the four list, injustice 2is number 20.
Get out of here.
Watchdog 2?

Wow, far Cry 5, number 13.
Hogger's Legacy number 14.
Black Ops 3, number 15.
Wow, minecraft 2, number 1.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Do you get the Hogcar Hog?
Oh my God, hogwarts game.
Do you have the Hogwarts game?
Do you have that?
No, I'm surprised that you gotit.
You usually get everything.
I don't even have that.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Marvel vs Camel Fight Collection.
Players 4 is number 3.
I wonder if people considerthat downloading PS4, you're
playing on PS5, blah, blah, blah.
Batman, arkham Knight number 11on.
Ps4.
That's including downloads forthe US and Canada, but I won't

(21:50):
go more into it it's not bad,though, man.
You know, sony has a nicelisting alright, mr Amazing, are
you surprised by any of this?

Speaker 2 (22:01):
not at all.
The top 3 is exactly what Ithought it would be Black Ops,
dragon Ball, sparkling andnumber three Undisputed.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Sparkling.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
I'm tired Sparking zero.
So it rounded up to what Iexpected, to be honest with you.
So that's not bad, not a badlist.
Sony's having a good month.
I should say month, month and ahalf.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
I mean, like I said, we're going to top downloads.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
But these are all top end games.
These are games that areselling very well, mr Amazing.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Sad news Uh-oh, sony closed two studios.
I heard you want to go into, mrAmazing.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Sony Interactive Entertainment is shutting down
Neon Koi and Firewalk Studio.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
The makers of Concord .

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, Concord is by Firewalk Studios.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, everybody knows that.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, everybody knows that, because that game lasted
what?
Two weeks after eight years.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Two weeks.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Two days, practically right, two years, it felt like
two days.
And then the other one, neocon.
I cup of coffee the last longin the car.
Neocon was developing an actionmobile game.
So pretty much Sony gave thewhole strategic to business
goals, the studio, businessgroup, the speech talk.

(23:27):
That's what we shouldn't do.
Now, pretty much, you guysain't doing nothing for us.
Let's keep it real, sony.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
That's what it does, and it lost between $340 million
investing in Firewalker StudiosMm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
So then Sony went out to also say hey guys, I know
we're closing two studios.
What does that come withLayoffs?
So this is going to affect 210employees 172 from Firewalk and
38 from Neon.
But Hoss.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
When they close the studio now, when the hell is the
headquarters going to?

Speaker 2 (23:58):
do jobs.
No, no, no.
Hoss the CEO said no guys,don't worry, guess what?
We're going to relocate a lotof these guys to other studios
where possible.
The key word is where possible.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
So out of those 210 people, probably like seven
people are going to get a job inyour house with you, yo, that's
what it said, because usuallysome of the late officers they
have openings at some of thesestudios.
No, they do, they do.
They often might offer somebodyan opportunity.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Of course you get first dibs.
You're already in the door, sobut pretty much at a 210,
someone will get jobs.
That's a good news.
Sony is trying to relocate someof the workers, but it just
sucks because it shows youunderperformance comes with job
loss.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
And that's just anything in life, especially
with games that cost that muchmoney they expect results.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
They expect results, man we looked at it.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Many people looked at it like oh, a lot of people
might say what do you callracial identity, whatever?
Whoever they call it, now playthe role.
No, they play the role.
This was not cool, the game itwas not cool.
Yeah, I agree, and the problemis they wanted to build a story
off the characters do a littleanimated series.
No, the problem is they wantedto build a story off the

(25:03):
characters Do a little animatedseries.
No, the problem is they shouldhave made a game, made an action
game, one player action gameWith the characters Switch out
to the characters Agreed.
Then had a multiplayer withthat game Agreed.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
If they made a good single player game With a good
multiplayer aspect of it, theywould make their money, yeah it
was just too much going on and Iknow it's an 8 year project
just to be shut down in a blinkof an eye.
Hurts though, man, and you knowtold us we gotta put their
heart and sweat in.
It sucks, man, but that's thepart of business we don't like.

(25:41):
It happens, though.
You're right, it does happen,y'all.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Alright, mr Anthony, you want to say Nah man
Something more positive,hopefully.
The positive is we're going tothe Trail of the week, mr
Amazing.

Issa Rae, I love.
I'm gonna yellow light it.
I need a little bit more.
I need a little bit more, notto say it's not going to be a
good movie, though I mean it'shard.
I didn't see enough, to behonest with you, from this
trailer for me to see I'm nosediving.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
I want to say Green Light, I want to say Green 2,
but I need a little bit morebecause I do, like everybody
just mentioned Beyonce with youbut I just need a little bit
more.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
One see that yeah yeah, I agree, you know what I'm
saying.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yellow, light yellow light's not bad, because guess
what we're singing.
Give Me a Chance.
It's not like when Michael blewit with last year's Christmas
movie.
What was it again?
What was the movie?
What was the Santa Claus moviethat you said was going to be
whack?
What was it again?
Santa Claus Rock movie.
No, I liked that movie.
You liked it after you saw it.
Now we see the trailer.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
No, no, no, I said it was good, I said it was good.
What was the name of it?
The guy who, the guy who Ithought it was Gonna be good.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah, it was good After you saw it.
No, I said, it was good.
You're the one that said You'rethe one that said it was crap.

Speaker 1 (30:46):

Santa Claus thing You're awesome.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
You're the one that said it was crap.
I, I was for it, I was for it.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
We gotta go back to the taste, because I remember
you were with me on this one.
No, I was for it, you were withme on this one, I was for it.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Okay, I was for it.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Well, for this one I'm going to yellow light.
It you can say Winnie the Pooh.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
The honey kill whatever blood honey.
Winnie the Pooh yeah, you cansay that That'd be good, right,
it makes some decent money.
It's a proper rule.
You know what I'm saying?
I want to see Mickey Mouse liketo get that.
I want to see Mickey Mouse likekill people.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
That'd be sad.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
That'd be funny as hell.
I'd be getting my butt off.
Kill him, kill Minnie, killMinnie.
I can understand her.
She's a gold digger.
Anyway, you deserve it, oh man,you know what I'm saying and
then you go face.
What is it?
Donald Duck's piece of pediment.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
What the hell are you saying to me?
Shut up.
I want you to do this.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
So, mr Amazing, yes, sir, a shoot me care.
Topic All right.
Has Sony lost its touch, mrAmazing?

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Why are we saying that?

Speaker 1 (32:03):
for man Because the recent screw-ups.
We got Concord they wasted over$300 to $40 million in that.
Mr Amazing, only one exclusivegame that came out this year,
okay.
On the studio not including aHorizon Lego game?

(32:24):
Okay, mr Amazing Mm-hmm, the VRthey brought out to almost die.
Sales have improved because ofthe price cut.
That happened.
I bought one Okay.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
I still haven't seen it.
I want to check that out.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
You got to check it out.
Like I said, meme has got a lotof catch up to do in the next
couple of months.
Yeah, I want to check that out.
You know what I'm saying.
Also, the price of thePlayStation Pro, which I
disagree with people talkingabout, is now the price is
outrageous.
What kind of price she wantedto be?
Guys, you know what I'm saying.

(32:58):
And no system price, becausewhich is going across all the
boards or all the systems, andwe're not hurting anything in
reference to what's next forPlayStation.
So should we care a lot, alittle or not at all?
Mr M, not at all, not at allSpain.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Why not at all?
I'm going to go not at allbecause, like in the movie
theaters, in any genre, whateverit is, you're going to have
great years, you're going tohave slow years.
So we had a slow year, but fora slow year.
Guess what I guarantee.
If you look at the numbers,they probably had the top
selling game one of the topselling games dropped this year.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Asked about as drop this here.
Astro Bot has sold, has sales,probably we'll say the sales of
100 made over no 1.
So, no sorry, sold over 1.5million units, astro Bot.
That goes to show you what doyou think will be the final
sales unit for Astro Bot.
I'm thinking 5 million.

(33:57):
That's about right.
I think five million is dead in.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
But you know there's going to be Gale season and
everything coming out for it too.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
There's free Gale season and stuff like that.
I think it'll still be.
I think it'll still be fivemillion.
I think it will.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I think it'll do that .

Speaker 1 (34:11):
At the end of the day sold next year.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
I'm getting my cap.
I'm waiting for Black Friday toget buy two, get one free.
It's not happening.
It happens every year.
It happens every year, so itwon't be my two games.
I told you you probably try topick up and it'll be gone.
I hope not, because I alreadygot my plan.
Sony had a slow year, but Idon't take anything away,
because guess what they can backnext year.
It just dropped a whole bunchof gems and everybody's talking

(34:35):
about them and we're stilltalking about them.
What's the most talked aboutsystem this year?
It's Sony.
Sony dropped an Adversary, aPro, a VR.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
I mean they dropped a lot of stuff and you say the
PlayStation Portal is a top 10video game accessory.
There you go, there we go, andthe PlayStation Pro is the one
selling gaming console on Amazonfrom several countries.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Yeah, and I guarantee you, if you look at the
cross-platform games, I bet youmore games were bought on the
Sony and played.
So, I think it's something forus not to care at all.
I don't think, like I said,they come back next year
stronger than ever.
I don't think I think Sony cancome back.
Like I said, they come backnext year stronger than ever.
So, no, I don't worry at all toanswer your question.
What about you?

Speaker 1 (35:20):
I think there's nothing to worry about.
As of November 8th, sony hasannounced that it sold over 65
million consoles.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Pssst, wow enough said, enough said my friend.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Nothing to dispute here yeah, and they did make a
profit.
They continue to make a profiton the PS5 division oh, ok, ok
ok well, the.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
PlayStation division overall.
Oh so they're good.
Nothing for us to worry about.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Nothing for us to worry about, mike man so do we
care a lot, a little not at all.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Not at all for me, not at all.
Playstation they're good.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
They're good, they're good, but I would say Sound
Alarm.
Nothing happening next year.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well then, yeah, next year you can Sound Alarm.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
We're messing with the game.
Well, next year's about gamesand plus a little discount on
the consoles would help that.
Would help that would helpAppreciate that.
Well, Mr Mason, do you have agangster or gangster for this
