It's michael samson, the 5.9assassin.
Mr amazing, tell people whatgaming traffic is about.
It's about summer 2025.
Y'all yo the games, the top 10games you play for this summer.
Mr amazing, we also gonna talkabout yo, a game coming to Xbox
(00:27):
that people didn't expect it.
We're also going to talk aboutthe Running man, a movie that's
a remake of a movie by the greatArnold.
Mr Amazing, yo, let's start thelist off what you got.
All right, man.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So Mike doesn't know how to give good directions?
No, no, Mr Amazing, the amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Ken Fowler directions Go right ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
When we talked about this topic, it was supposed to
be the summer your top 10 gamesof summer 2025.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
That's what he told me, but he decided to go with it
.
When I text you, did I say top10?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yes, he said top 10 games in 2025.
Well, Todd gives it for summer,so I incorporated games coming
out in 2025.
He interpreted it that way, butthis guy was just doing it
general.
So mine, ladies and gentlemen,is going to be a little bit more
broad on the fact that I focus.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Mine's going to be more broad, yours is going to be
more general.
Yours is going to's more broadthan yours, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm more narrow.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I'm talking about I have a shorter window than he
does, but it's fine.
It's fine.
So, mike, since we're doing ittwo different ways, you can
start the list because you havea broader list than I do.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I have a better list than you.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
you might, because you have a better option.
I kept mine simple, but despitethat, I do like the games that
I picked, though All right, mrMazin.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
All right, so there's no type of order.
I'm going into this, mr Mazin,I will do this back and forth.
I'll do one, then you do one.
Okay, so we'll do this, mrMazin.
I picked Call of Duty 6, mrMazin, black Ops First.
Black Ops First part is Shooter.
It has single player campaign,multiplayer and multiplayer
(02:06):
online with Zombie Mall, mrAmazing.
You get your homeboys over.
You can play with your boys.
You can play Zombie Mall.
You can play with strangers.
This will keep you out to thewholesome, mr Amazing, for the
kids go to school, for you offon your vacation.
You're coming back.
You want to play some gameswith your homeboys or you want
to play the campaign alone.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6, mrAmazing.
(02:28):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It's not a bad game.
I think it's a great game.
But it's crazy.
I don't associate it as asummer game because it always
comes out in the fall.
So for some reason I think itwas a fall game.
It's weird, I know.
Plus it's going to fall but,like I said, not everyone plays
the games right from the rightplace.
No season to play, but I justassociate it as a fall game.
But it's always that it comesout on that time of year.
(02:51):
That's why I'm saying that, butit's not a bad call.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Like I said, you play that game.
It's a game you will playduring the year.
You will play it through thesummer.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I agree with you.
It's a good choice.
I have nothing against that, soit's a good pick.
I like it.
It's a game you can play withothers and alone.
So a little campaign and amultiplayer campaign and online.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
People love the zombies.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
They do, they do Something about.
The zombie games always boomsit on, whatever genre it is, it
goes, it takes off.
Okay.
Well, it means a little bitdifferent.
When I think of summer, I thinkof Mr Softee, I think of the
Icy man, I think of Will Smith'sSummertime and, ladies and
gentlemen, added to the list of2025, I think of Mario Kart that
(03:31):
came out, which is amultiplayer, family-friendly
game, a game that just came outFun, new system and excitement
in the room and Mario's happy.
What's the summer about?
Happiness?
Everybody's smiling.
So I think Mario Kart is awonderful game to go with that
man.
Mario Kart World yeah the onethat just came out.
Yeah, remember, I'm a 2020, mylist is 2025.
No, no, hey, hey, hey.
(03:53):
So Mario, the new Mario World,so I think of that game, the
only issue with that is the onlypeople happy got a Switch 2.
Hey then this someone's lookinggood man, because that's
definitely someone getting meright now.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
So it's kind of limited right now.
Yeah, it is, it is All right,I'm going to go next, mr Amazing
.
Yes, sir, the game of games.
Yo Fortnite, fortnite, yeah, Imean that game's been on for so
long.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, I Fortnite.
Yeah, I mean that game's beenon for so long.
Okay, I can see why you saidFortnite though.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Fortnite cause number one it's free.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well, we can debate that it's free it's free to play
, but not free to maintain.
Oh yeah, free.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I mean you wanna keep up with everything new costumes
you're gonna pay some money.
I didn't pay one dime.
I played Fortnite.
I just play regular.
I don't buy, you don't know.
I did buy a costume.
Let me say I did buy a costumeand, like I said, mr Amazing,
fortnite is free, very kidfriendly.
They have several differentconcepts on there Turtles, lego,
(04:54):
mr Amazing, superman is onthere, the Walking Dead, squid
Games, mr Amazing.
They have concerts on this.
Mr Amazing, fortnite is thegame you can play during the
summer, all year round, withpeople online, family and
friends.
Only thing you can't play oh,you can't play Squid Scream.
I forgot, you can't play SquidScream with Fortnite.
(05:16):
Mr Mays, fair, endless fun.
Mr Mays, that's fair, it's nota bad call and it's out for all
systems, all systems and allages.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
That's the beauty about it, so can't go wrong with
that pick.
All right Now to me, ladies andgentlemen.
My summer 2025 list keeps goingand, ladies and gentlemen, this
is a game.
I think.
Michael's going to agree with me.
Actually, ladies and gentlemen,I'm going to go with MLB the
Show 2025.
I was going to put that on mylist too.
You got to go with that becausewhy Baseball leads us with all
(05:47):
the sport leads.
The number one summer sportthat's on, ladies and gentlemen,
is the WNBA and MLB, but MLB'sbeen on longer, so I have to go
MLB 2025.
And that is the main attractionwhen it comes to major sports
in America.
So MLB 2025 is a good game and,mike, you can co-sign to that
because anytime, I come here Iwatch you try to make the league
.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Still, You've been trying to make the league for
like 10 months.
You know, Yo, not 10 months.
I started playing for the pastcouple of months.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Mlb 2024, y'all, oh yeah, 2024 ticked me off.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I hit 80 home runs.
I still didn't get called up.
I was mad as hell.
It's got me stuck in.
It's got me stuck in triple A.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
eat ramen noodles so I definitely think it's.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Uh, that's another one of my 2025 summer picks MLB
alright, mr Mazin, I'm gonna gowith my next pick Street Fighter
6, mr Mazin.
Street Fighter 6 excellentoverhaul of Street Fighter.
Not overhaul, but a big step, abig leap from uh not overhaul,
but a big step, a big leaf from.
Street Fighter V, mr Amazing,it includes several features.
Mr Amazing, it includesbattlegrounds that contain local
(06:50):
and online versus battles.
Mr Amazing, as you know, theworld tour, single player mode,
which includes story.
You customize your playersthere.
And also Mr Amazing, the thirdmode.
Mr Amazing, the battle hub.
It acts as an online lobby.
So, mr Amazing, the third mole.
Mr May, the Battle Hub acts asan online lobby.
So, mr Maysian, what do youthink of that pick?
And plus, it's season two.
(07:11):
Yeah, it's season three.
I'm sorry, it's season threecoming up.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, it's season three pack.
You got one of our mainfighters coming out, sagat, or
Saget, as we say Saget, so yougot Saget.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
as we say Saget, so you got Saget, so got something.
You say Saget, so that's yo.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well, I can't go wrong, because you know, street
Fighter is my favorite fightinggame and everyone's jumping back
on it, so I think that's agreat pick actually.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I was going to pick Tekken, but Tekken has fallen
off a little bit, so with SeasonI believe it's Season 2, tekken
has fallen off.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Okay, I understand that.
All right, so that was Mike'sthird pick for the summer games.
Well, my summer 2025.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh no, also sorry.
Street Fighter has severaldifferent modes to play Moderate
.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
You talking about the fighting skill yeah, fighting.
Or modern, yeah, modern.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
and classic Classic which is a big hit in Japan.
People love playing that, sonewcomers won't have the
difficulty of trying to get inand play people like Mr Amazing
and his homeboys.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
So I think I'm an old breed on this game.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, so I like it.
I'm a Street.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Fighter guy, so I wholly co-sign to this.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's a fun game, it's for all platforms, including
what Mr Maze the.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Switch 2.
I'm dying to try it on theSwitch 2, actually.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I have no reason.
I don't have no reason why youwant to do it.
You know what?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
it is Because when I got introduced to Street Fighter
, it was on a Nintendo, andthat's why I'm like, oh shoot, I
get to play back on a systemthat got me into it.
For those reasons, to be honestwith you.
All right, man.
So my summer, my third pick forsummer 2025 games continues.
And guess what?
It's another Nintendo game and,ladies and gentlemen, this
one's not out yet, butanticipated.
(08:52):
I'm going with Donkey Kong.
Okay, banzai, we should be outexactly a week from now, well,
the 17th.
I don't know when this show airs, but it's coming out on the
17th of July and that game looksamazing.
I think that's going to be.
I actually picked this game tobe better than Mario Kart, and
that's weird.
It's hard for me.
A lot of people are like, well,really, this game might be more
promising than Mario Kart, tobe honest, even though I think
(09:19):
Mario Kart is would have been onthis.
But Bonanza is definitely agame I'm looking forward to and
can't wait to play it when itdoes come drop, well, on
Michael's Switch 2.
I don't have my know yet.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
All right, mr Amazing , a game I included included
sorry, included for the summergames to play is NBA Jam.
Mr Amazing, that's always a fungame.
Actually, I actually agree withthat Very fun, fun game you can
play currently you can play ifyou do have these systems PS3,
the Wii and Xbox 360.
I believe it's backwardscompatible with the Xbox One NBA
(09:56):
Jam, but, mr Macy, have a PS3.
The modding community, themodding.
You could actually hook it upwith today's players.
Yes, sir, so it's a very fungame.
Four players can play.
Anybody can pick it up andreally get into it.
So that's my pick, mr Amazing,and, like I said for the modding
(10:16):
community, you can mod it andhave the current players play on
their current teams.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Oh fair, their current teams Fair.
I like that pick.
That's a fun summer game.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And also you kept Michael Jr on there.
There you go, the cheat codeCharles Barkley.
The cheat code Reggie.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Miller.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yep Reggie Miller.
The cheat code.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yes, all right, man, my fourth summer 2025 game I'm
going with, ladies and gentlemen, and this is a perfect one,
because out during the summer,tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and 4,
which actually dropped today.
I think that's a great summergame for 2025.
For those who, for those whodidn't play it on the oldest, I
(10:51):
think it was a PS3 and 4.
That's what they were for TonyHawk, maybe even older than that
.
Maybe I played them.
They came on 2?
It might have been 2, actually.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You might be right.
I think you might be right, manI apologize for not remembering
, but that was a fun game.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I had a blast with Tony Hawk Pro Skater three and
four.
So the fact that theyremastered it dropped today get
that perfect summer game forthose who like to skateboard.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Be creative, artistic , show your ways, y'all alright,
mr Mazin, I also picked MarioKart.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh, so we got a tie.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Ding ding, ding ding ding.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I picked Mario.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Kart 8.
Oh, why 8, though?
Because most people have MarioKart 8.
If you have a 10-year-old,Switch, I get it.
But I think, if it was, a.
Budman, it's a remake of theWii U one.
It's sold, but not as well asthe Mario Kart 8 has sold on the
Switch.
(11:47):
We sold over 76 million copies,mr Amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You can't go wrong Any Mario Kart.
You just can't go wrong,Because that's family friendly.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I'm trying to correct myself.
It sold 76 million, combinedwith the Wii U and the Switch 2
sales.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Okay, okay, wow, ladies and gentlemen, I'm very
impressed.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I'm sorry, switch 1 sales Sorry, okay, okay, wow,
ladies and gentlemen, I'm veryimpressed.
I mean sorry, switch 1 sells,sorry.
Okay, not bad, not bad 76million not to sneeze about.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
No, of course not.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's a fun game.
My personal belief I play withPole Controller those little
controllers that come with itNot feeling it.
The cramps, why?
And cramps.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Wow, man, I'm very impressed to see Nintendo's
dominating on this topic.
And guess what?
We're going to continue withmore Nintendo news.
Mike, you're not going todisagree with this one, but I'm
still going to put it on there.
Because why?
I said summer is all about fun,happiness and togetherness.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And there's one game on the 10 that brings everybody
together is coming out on July24th.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Ladies and gentlemen, July 24th, you get yourself the
Super Mario Party Jumboree.
Nintendo Switch 2.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Edition oh God.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
That game brings people together, from families
to doing goofy stuff, tostanding up, to swinging, to
laughing, to being in the game,your icon, your picture.
It don't get more summer thanthat man.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You can break night with these games.
I got something that I'll dothat one.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
This is your monopoly of the summer for video games.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I got something that I'll do it.
Go ahead, drop it on me.
My next game it'll bring yourgrandmother to play a video game
.
Mr Amazing, what is this?
Your uncles, people, yourbabies, five years old, playing
the game.
It might even beat you.
What is that?
Nintendo Wii Sports.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Wii Sports is fun too .
Wii Sports was very popular insenior halls when it came out.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Very popular game, mr Amazing.
It's only stuck in the Wii, butin the Wii U you can play it on
Mr Amazing.
You can play what, mr Amazing?
These are the four main games.
You can play tennis, baseball,bowling, golf and boxing.
Mr Amazing, wow.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I can't believe Nintendo's dominating this
summer topic.
I think Nintendo got the win.
Be honest with you without evenfinishing the list, I think
Nintendo got the win, man.
Hey, I wish I was going tothrow another Nintendo one at
you, but I'm not.
But I'm going to throw aclassic at you for my summer
2025 game, coming out the 29thof this month.
Ladies and gentlemen, dive deepinto Ninja Gaiden.
(14:06):
What's it called?
Rage Bound?
That game looks good, man.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
The South Squirrel, the South Squirrel one, the
South Squirrel one, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That looks really fun , man.
That, I think, is a perfect wayto get the summer going
Continuing.
You want your one-player modeand enjoy yourself, man.
I think that's a good game toget us ready for the bigger
games.
But go ahead, though.
I don't want to talk out ofturn at the moment.
Go speak, speak no no, I wasgoing to say to get us going,
but this game is not on my list,so I will talk about it.
(14:33):
I didn't put it, but we'regoing to talk about the show
later on though.
The new Ghost of Tsushima,ninja Gaiden, ragebound.
You know that whole fight well.
It is ninja, but the other oneis samurai.
But the whole, you know thewhole fighting Well.
I see, I wonder if you couldsee the Japanese Fudo era.
I guess it could be technically.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Isn't every developer come up with that one, that
type of style of?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
game.
You can make that argument, youcan make that argument alright,
mr Maisy continue my friendlet's go.
My next one is Giz War oh, didyou pick the same one as me or
did you just pick you talking?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
about you talking about the reloaded.
The reloaded one, yeah, wecould put a reloaded one if you,
if you're waiting, if you'replacing in five individual only
placing five it's coming in what?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
August, august 26th?
That's one of my picks, so Mikeis doing my pick with me.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
So go ahead, mike, but I put the Gives Award, the
old school one.
But it's the same thing, thoughit's just remastered the
original Gives Award wasreleased in November 7th for
Xbox 360.
The Ultra Edition, which is a,I would say, remaster.
Okay, that was released inAugust.
(15:46):
Well, wait a minute, let memake sure I make the ultimate
edition released August 2015.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Okay, okay almost a year to date that this one's
being released on the PS5.
Now, this is coming out onAugust 26th.
Gears of War Reloaded but sinceyou already said, I'm not going
to say it, but we pretty muchhave the same topic on this one,
so I agree with Mike on this aswell.
Another one off the list I'mgoing to go with for my Summer
2025 picks to play, ladies andgentlemen, comes, ladies and
(16:13):
gentlemen, comes out in August,august 8th, and that is Mafia
the Old Country.
For those who are big fans ofMafia Saga, you got one coming
out this way and a lot of peopleare worried.
This game is going to come outbecause Grand Theft Auto.
Grand Theft Auto.
But no fear, because GrandTheft Auto got pushed back like
I predicted, so you're going toget this game in August y'all,
(16:33):
so a good one to go with, mr.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Mason, I'm going to go with another sports game.
Go ahead, college Football 2026.
That looks amazing.
You got me into it.
Now you know what it actuallysold, madden.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Already.
Oh, you're talking aboutopening sales.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh, no, no, Last year's, I mean sorry, last
year's college 2025 outsold, butit's also the best-selling
sports game.
It outbeat, I believe, nba 2K21 or 20.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I'm not surprised.
Remember you haven't had a gamein 10 years, Maybe more than
that so people are hungry forthat.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
ESPN was talking about it.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, people are hungry for that, so it makes
sense.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Dan Levitar, who does a sports podcast and is also on
TV as well.
He did it.
He's one of those guys whopumped up, bought a PS5 to make
sure he played that game.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Okay, okay, okay Makes sense.
Actually, I'm not mad at that.
Well, I'm going to continue mysummer 2025 game.
This game came out well beforethe summer, but it's still a
2025 game.
And I think, mike, you justbought this game, which is Clear
, obscure Expedition 33.
I thought about that too.
Yeah, so that made the list,because the reason it made the
list it's not my type of gamebut, ladies and gentlemen, the
(17:42):
wave behind it, the feelingbeing nominated for possible
game of the year.
You got to see what that'sabout for the summer 2025.
I had to make that list so youget your turn-based not really
turn-based style to it, featuresto it.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I think the main feature is turn-based.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It is turn-based, but it's different it varies.
Yeah, it varies.
Yeah, exactly that's what Icouldn't find, so that's
definitely a 2025 game for me.
Mike, go ahead, my friend.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Alright, so my next one is Elden Ring, Mr Amazing.
Oh yeah, that's a good onewhich won several Games of the
Year awards when it came out andit sold I'm going to say it
sold, mr Amazing, do you know?
Mm-mm.
30 million copies, mr Amazing,wow.
And it also came down with DonNoble DLC Wow, shadows of the
(18:30):
Tree, and I think it's off ofSwitch 2, if I'm not mistaken.
Sorry, not Shadow of the Tree,shadow of the Entry, entry, yeah
.
And it also came out recentlywith a multiplayer-focused
spin-off game, elden Ring, nightRain, mr Maze.
That came out, I believe, theend of May.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
That's a game I want to play, but I know I'm not
going to play.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
And like.
I said it's a 60, 70-hour game.
I know it's like 60, 70 hourgame.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I know I want to play it, but I know I'm not going to
play it, but hey, I believeit's a good game, man, All right
, so go back to me now.
My next game for the summer2025 continues in that, ladies
and gentlemen, that's going tobe Assassin Creed Shadows.
I mean, don't get any biggerthan that, that'll keep you busy
.
That'll keep you busy.
(19:18):
And you get to see feudal Japan.
You get to see the controversywith a black man in the game
ain't no controversy.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I got the game, no controversy.
I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You get to see all of that, but I think it's a good
pick.
It's a game that people canpick up and go and it's a good
Assassin's Creed to continue thelegacy as I get.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
That said Mr Mason.
Uh oh, my last one is DeathStranded at the Beach.
Death Stranded at the Beach.
Okay, okay, games about 40 to50 hours, depending on your play
, and getting great reviews.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Oh yeah, the reviews are like they're that good very
good very good, okay, okay, okay.
Since we both had Gears of Warloaded Gears of War, I'm gonna
add one to my last one.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I mean, I got Honorable Mentions too.
Oh yeah, bro, okay, so I'mgoing to add Honorable Mentions

Speaker 1 (20:02):
The one I'm going to add is Doom, dark Ages.

To be honest with you, I feellike about it, not really, not
really, you're right, but Ihaven't played it yet.
Have you played it yours yet,because you're a big?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Doom person.
I haven't played it because thereason I didn't buy it?
Because they said the game'snot on the disc.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Oh yeah, you wanted the thing where you did say that
I wanted the disc and theproblem with Doom and that thing
was Doom 2.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Okay, and online was out.

Come on, man, it's a singleplayer game, son.
Come on, that's ridiculous.
I remember that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I see why, but I put it on the list.

Let's see.

I got honorable mentions until dawn.
Okay, not the remaster, that'smessed up and shoddy.
The original, the original,okay.
It came on the PS4, which youalso can play on the PS5.
Backwards compatibility.
You can go through the game.
Everybody can die, okay.
Or you can save everybody, oryou can save two or three people
, okay okay, and you gotdifferent multiple endings.
(21:29):
That's an excellent game toplay during the summer.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Okay, that's not a bad game.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And also one of my favorites is Halo.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Halo, Halo.
Is there a specific one you'retalking about?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
We'll go with the Halo 1 and 2.
Okay, it's not bad.
Multiplayer games you can playonline with people.
It's a fun game to play, playand you can play co-op with your
friends, your partners,homeboys, girlfriend, boyfriend,
husband, wife, grandmother,significant other okay, okay,
okay.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Well, I got a question for you.
What's your all time summergame, if you was to pick one?
I mean basically, just one game, one all time.
What I mean by that?
Just one game, one all-time.
What I mean by that?
Not like the best game to play.
Like you think of summer, youthink of this game.
That's what I mean by it.
You think of summer, you thinkof this game.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's no, I mean honestly, I'll pick Wii Sports.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Wii Sports is your all-time summer game, and I'm
taking you back, ladies andgentlemen, to 1987.
Yeah, that's how old this gamewas talking about, and this game
was classic Nah.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You're not going to get it.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
A lot of people didn't play it, to be honest
with you, but if you played ityou thought it was dope.
All right, california games,man, I love California games
that game was fun.
I used to love the skateboardAll right Ice skating.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
It does similar Ice skating Roll skating.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Ice skating, rollerblading, roller skating
yes.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
So I mean it's similar to summer.
Yeah, similar by summer, that'sah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
This game was a classic to me, man, even though
if you asked me what score youwould give this, it wouldn't be
high.
This game is probably like a 6,to be honest with you, but for
what it was, I love this game,man.
I love this game.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'm sure he's looking up on his phone.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I look at the picture because it's bringing me back
to 1987, when it came out.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I was going to mention Madden as your all-time
summer game.
No, all-time summer game as asummer game, but I already had
college football on there.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
But you know, I think some.
You think of Madden, you thinkof four.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Which is true.
I also thought that too.
I think of some.
I think of four.
That's the way to add Madden tomy list.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I think of football, I was going to pick MLB.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That would have been perfect.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
That is summer.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Baseball is summer, boys of summer, they always say
the All-Star Game is next week.
Yeah, the All-Star.
Game is next week, Mr Mazinanything else you want to say
about this?
No, I closed out my all-timesummer game, so I'm good.
Alright, mr Mazin, let's go toour Trail of the Week.
It's Mr Amazing.
(24:23):
Let's go to our trail of theweek.
It's Running man, mr Amazing.
No, let's check it out, benRichards one child in medical
crisis.
We need money for a doctor.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
now, ben, watch yourself.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Employment status blacklisted, but there's still a
way out for you.
It's the biggest show in thecountry.
One last is our birthright.
Set it free.
Welcome to the running man.
(25:07):
People on these games nevercome back.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I'm not trying to get myself killed.
It's like kissing my ass twice.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Right, there is why you can win this game.
The rules are simple Survive 30days with the entire nation
hunting you down.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
And get your family out of Slumside for good.
I'm going to come back here andburn this building down.
I promise that's the spirit.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
This is America goddammit, and we don't put up
with no bullshit yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Hunt Him.
No, stop filming me.
(26:05):
Have you ever wondered if thisgame is rigged?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
guess we'll find out you might be moving up too fast.
Hey, buddy, you're on 3B.
Yeah, yeah, you better run.
(26:34):
I got a grenade Back at you.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I'm still here, you shit eaters.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Hey, big boys, are you crazy?
Mr amazing, the running man.
Mr amazing, coming out November7th.
Mr Amazing, a different take onthe Running man.
With the Rising Running man, itwas an obstacle course.
This is more like lack of abetter word an open world game,
pretty much.
(27:27):
I don't know how you're goingto survive these 30 days yeah,
30 days, where everybody'schasing you down.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Nah son, I probably last five minutes.
Likewise, this movie reminds meof three movies or series,
whatever you want to call it.
It reminds me of John Q in thebeginning.
He's doing all this because hehas a sick son that looks like
he needs to get medicalattention for Okay.
Then it reminds me of SquidGame, because he's in the game
that he has to survive to win aprize.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
And once he wins he's going to come back and burn it
down.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, and it reminds me of John Wick, because
everyone's trying to kill himand he has to survive, which is
true.
So it looks like you have thethree components in one movie
for all this.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
You know what that means?
It's going to be disaster.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
It scares me, because how do you combine all those
three things in a two hour moviemaybe?
How do you combine all thosethree things in there?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Good luck, mr Major.
So should we green light it,red light it or yellow light it?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I'm going to yellow it.
I'm going to yellow it.
It ain't look bad to me, butit's just interesting how you're
going to fit all that, becauseit literally looks like those
three movies to me.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's coming out November 7th, I don't know what
else is coming around that time,I don't know anything that's
popular.
That's more like a Januarymovie if you don't got nothing
really solid to watch.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I'll still yellow light it though.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yo, I'm going to red light it, you're going to red
light it.
We should come home.
I'm streaming, you sure.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
On, I yell at it.
I yell at it just because I'mcurious to see how this John Q
Squid Game John Wick movie playsout.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I just, I just it looks like something to go to
Amazon Prime.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I mean you might be right.
You might be right, but ifyou're not, I want to be on the
right side of history, maybesomewhere in the yellery,
alright alright, mr Amazing,yell at me, just be cautious.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
just be cautious like I didn't say don't you.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
You're saying don't go see in the theaters.
I said don't go see in thetheaters.
I said hey, at your own, atyour own discretion, at your own
discretion.
I didn't say no, I just said atyour own discretion man.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Mr Amazing, alright, mr Amazing, y'all light.
I red lighted Mr AmazingRunning man coming out November
7th.
Are you going to see it?
Let us know in the comments.
Mr Amazing, let the people knowyou can speak.
Have all your peace, mr Amazing.
Guess who's coming to Xbox?
(29:52):
This is our sugar care topic ofthe week.
All right, guess who's coming?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
X going to give it to you who's coming.
Who's coming, let us know.
Put us on.
So did I was too.
Wow.
The PlayStation 5 exclusive isdropping on the Xbox.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
August 26th of this year, Mr Amazing Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
That could be part of our summer game.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Mr Amazing, that'd be a good choice too, mr.
I've been a good choice too.
Mr Amazing, what do you thinkabout this?
You got PlayStation, who putanother game on a different
system Not a computer, pc, steam, whatever on another competing
system.
Mr Amazing, what do you thinkabout that?
Because you do have HorizonLego game on the Switch.
(30:33):
Now you have Helldivers 2 onthe Xbox.
Now you have Helldivers 2 onthe Xbox.
Joe Sotty does own the rightsto Helldiver, to the Helldiver
franchise in general, but hestill put it on there.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Mr Mason yeah, and I think Sotty is learning from
Xbox.
Actually, I think Sotty saidheck man, they put Xbox games on
our platform and it's blowingup.
We should do the same thing too.
Now it's our turn.
Let's make our money on theXbox platform now.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
God of War I mean not God of War.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
God of War is not coming there no, no, no, not
games like that, but like theyhad other games that went on
there, like Horizon, yeah, so ifI can see Horizon going on the
Switch.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
yeah, pretty friendly Lego game Blah blah blah, I
think.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
To me it's like how do we extend our franchise?
Plus, it's a multiplayer game,so that's going to blow up on
the Xbox.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
And I also look at this with their failed success,
failed efforts with all themultiplayer, all the
multi-functioning free to legend, free to play or live service
games.
Have failed, other thanHelldivers.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah.
So I think let's milk this,Milk this, get a new audience.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
No, they still got to make more money.
It's amazing what's theall-star game that came out that
failed?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
What's that game that was supposed to come out but
never came out?
Well, the game.
Oh, I forgot what it was.
I forgot, oh my God, I forgotwhat it was.
It was the pay-to-play gameConcord, concord.
There you go.
So this is them rebounding fromConcord.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
So they're trying, and how many live shows are we
getting?
They're getting cancer ready.
A lot, a lot.
Live service gain canceled.
True, oh, shoot, there's otherlive service gains.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I can't even tell.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
There's way more and, like I said, a lot of people
say and I said it in a previouspodcast one successful live
service gain could like repairthe damage that four or five
others do.
That's a lot of money wasted.
Agree, they're supposed to have10 or 12?
, mr Mays, if you think about it, how the hell do you have 10 or
12 live service games while onecannibalizing the other?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's true, that's true.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
It makes no sense.
Yeah, you can probably get itwith two or three successful
ones and the way you go about itlike Marvel Rivals, you can
have that Because you have thelicense.
All the combo heroes yes, thatcould work.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Hell's Abyss is working.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
It's very popular Hell's Abyss 2 works.
You know what I'm saying?
What's the movie?
Shoot?
That movie came out.
It's slightly based on thatmovie With all the aliens,
Starship Troopers and they wasgoing to multiply the game, but
Hell'sopers.
Oh, okay, okay, okay, and theywasn't going to multiply a game,
but Hell's Diablos 2, yo,kicking ass.
(33:23):
Yeah, it did and it still does.
So I think Sony was chasingmoney and this was the end
result that yo, we got to putthis on our Xbox system.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And they got to get the money.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
You got to make more money.
Mr Amazing Agree, fair gamesare supposed to come out.
We even heard a peep, peep,silence Peep on them, and I
forgot the other game that'ssupposed to come out Shoot.
What sort of game is supposedto come out?
I don't remember what.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Bungie, I didn't talk about it now actually.
Oh my god, I forgot, I didn'ttalk about that actually.
Oh my god, I forgot, I didn'ttalk about that.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
you know what it deserves to be forgotten.
When it when it comes back out,we'll try to remember exactly
cause you know what it's gonnabomb?
Probably right.
So, mr Mazin, should we care alot?
A little, not at all.
Reference to this.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I'm gonna care I think it's Mr Mazin.
Should we care a lot?
A little, not at all.
Reference to this.
I'm going to care.
I think it's a big move forSony actually.
I think it's a big move forSony actually to put it on Xbox
platforms.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Should we care a lot?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Not a lot, but I think it's notable.
I think it's notable All right,so I mean I think it's a
actually I don't care.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
All I had a plan for this was going to happen, like I
said, you see all thosefailures for attempts to make
money off live service games.
You had those rumblings, xboxplayers saying, oh, can we get
this?
And probably the developers ofthe game said, come on, let's do
this.
And Sonya looked at it hold up.
Look at all these failedservice games conquered Fair
game we don't know what the hellis going on.
(34:56):
The cancel Naughty Dogmultiplayer game.
The cancel other games, lastyear's games they're like hell.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
We gotta make some more money.
True, true, true bottom line.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
It comes down.
Cash flows everything around meas always my man so alright, mr
Amazing, I care not at all,cause, like I said, I'm not
surprised by it.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Okay, I'm going to call it notable.
I care because it's notable.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
All right, mr Amazing , do you have a shout out of the
week you want to give out?
I don't have a gangsta onWednesday of the week either.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, I don't really have a shout out either, but I
do have a quick comment I wantto make.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Oh, I'm going to give a shout.
Okay, thunder, winning the NBA.
I think we did that.
We did that.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
I don't think we did that, you sure?
Speaker 2 (35:41):
If we did it, then shout to the Oklahoma City
Thunder Oklahoma City Thunder,win it.
You know what I'm saying, soall right.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
I do have a quick comment.
So on our last show you spokeabout being the king of Tekken,

He said Mike can't even see himin the game and he's talking
nonsense on the spot.

It's michael samson, the 5.9assassin.
Mr amazing, tell people whatgaming traffic is about.
It's about summer 2025.
Y'all yo the games, the top 10games you play for this summer.
Mr amazing, we also gonna talkabout yo, a game coming to Xbox
(00:27):
that people didn't expect it.
We're also going to talk aboutthe Running man, a movie that's
a remake of a movie by the greatArnold.
Mr Amazing, yo, let's start thelist off what you got.
All right, man.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So Mike doesn't know how to give good directions?
No, no, Mr Amazing, the amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Ken Fowler directions Go right ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
When we talked about this topic, it was supposed to
be the summer your top 10 gamesof summer 2025.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
That's what he told me, but he decided to go with it
.
When I text you, did I say top10?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yes, he said top 10 games in 2025.
Well, Todd gives it for summer,so I incorporated games coming
out in 2025.
He interpreted it that way, butthis guy was just doing it
general.
So mine, ladies and gentlemen,is going to be a little bit more
broad on the fact that I focus.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Mine's going to be more broad, yours is going to be
more general.
Yours is going to's more broadthan yours, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm more narrow.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I'm talking about I have a shorter window than he
does, but it's fine.
It's fine.
So, mike, since we're doing ittwo different ways, you can
start the list because you havea broader list than I do.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I have a better list than you.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
you might, because you have a better option.
I kept mine simple, but despitethat, I do like the games that
I picked, though All right, mrMazin.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
All right, so there's no type of order.
I'm going into this, mr Mazin,I will do this back and forth.
I'll do one, then you do one.
Okay, so we'll do this, mrMazin.
I picked Call of Duty 6, mrMazin, black Ops First.
Black Ops First part is Shooter.
It has single player campaign,multiplayer and multiplayer
(02:06):
online with Zombie Mall, mrAmazing.
You get your homeboys over.
You can play with your boys.
You can play Zombie Mall.
You can play with strangers.
This will keep you out to thewholesome, mr Amazing, for the
kids go to school, for you offon your vacation.
You're coming back.
You want to play some gameswith your homeboys or you want
to play the campaign alone.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6, mrAmazing.
(02:28):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It's not a bad game.
I think it's a great game.
But it's crazy.
I don't associate it as asummer game because it always
comes out in the fall.
So for some reason I think itwas a fall game.
It's weird, I know.
Plus it's going to fall but,like I said, not everyone plays
the games right from the rightplace.
No season to play, but I justassociate it as a fall game.
But it's always that it comesout on that time of year.
(02:51):
That's why I'm saying that, butit's not a bad call.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Like I said, you play that game.
It's a game you will playduring the year.
You will play it through thesummer.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I agree with you.
It's a good choice.
I have nothing against that, soit's a good pick.
I like it.
It's a game you can play withothers and alone.
So a little campaign and amultiplayer campaign and online.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
People love the zombies.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
They do, they do Something about.
The zombie games always boomsit on, whatever genre it is, it
goes, it takes off.
Okay.
Well, it means a little bitdifferent.
When I think of summer, I thinkof Mr Softee, I think of the
Icy man, I think of Will Smith'sSummertime and, ladies and
gentlemen, added to the list of2025, I think of Mario Kart that
(03:31):
came out, which is amultiplayer, family-friendly
game, a game that just came outFun, new system and excitement
in the room and Mario's happy.

man.
Mario Kart World yeah the onethat just came out.
Yeah, remember, I'm a 2020, mylist is 2025.
No, no, hey, hey, hey.
(03:53):
So Mario, the new Mario World,so I think of that game, the
only issue with that is the onlypeople happy got a Switch 2.
Hey then this someone's lookinggood man, because that's
definitely someone getting meright now.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
So it's kind of limited right now.
Yeah, it is, it is All right,I'm going to go next, mr Amazing

Okay, I can see why you saidFortnite though.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Fortnite cause number one it's free.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well, we can debate that it's free it's free to play
, but not free to maintain.
Oh yeah, free.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I mean you wanna keep up with everything new costumes
you're gonna pay some money.
I didn't pay one dime.
I played Fortnite.
I just play regular.

fortnite is free, very kidfriendly.
They have several differentconcepts on there Turtles, lego,

They have concerts on this.
Mr Amazing, fortnite is thegame you can play during the
summer, all year round, withpeople online, family and
friends.
Only thing you can't play oh,you can't play Squid Scream.
I forgot, you can't play SquidScream with Fortnite.
(05:16):
Mr Mays, fair, endless fun.
Mr Mays, that's fair, it's nota bad call and it's out for all
systems, all systems and allages.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
That's the beauty about it, so can't go wrong with
that pick.
All right Now to me, ladies andgentlemen.
My summer 2025 list keeps goingand, ladies and gentlemen, this
is a game.
I think.
Michael's going to agree with me.
Actually, ladies and gentlemen,I'm going to go with MLB the
Show 2025.
I was going to put that on mylist too.
You got to go with that becausewhy Baseball leads us with all
(05:47):
the sport leads.
The number one summer sportthat's on, ladies and gentlemen,
is the WNBA and MLB, but MLB'sbeen on longer, so I have to go
MLB 2025.
And that is the main attractionwhen it comes to major sports
in America.
So MLB 2025 is a good game and,mike, you can co-sign to that
because anytime, I come here Iwatch you try to make the league
.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Still, You've been trying to make the league for
like 10 months.
You know, Yo, not 10 months.
I started playing for the pastcouple of months.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Mlb 2024, y'all, oh yeah, 2024 ticked me off.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I hit 80 home runs.
I still didn't get called up.
I was mad as hell.
It's got me stuck in.
It's got me stuck in triple A.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
eat ramen noodles so I definitely think it's.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Uh, that's another one of my 2025 summer picks MLB
alright, mr Mazin, I'm gonna gowith my next pick Street Fighter
6, mr Mazin.
Street Fighter 6 excellentoverhaul of Street Fighter.
Not overhaul, but a big step, abig leap from uh not overhaul,
but a big step, a big leaf from.
Street Fighter V, mr Amazing,it includes several features.
Mr Amazing, it includesbattlegrounds that contain local
(06:50):
and online versus battles.
Mr Amazing, as you know, theworld tour, single player mode,
which includes story.
You customize your playersthere.
And also Mr Amazing, the thirdmode.
Mr Amazing, the battle hub.
It acts as an online lobby.
So, mr Amazing, the third mole.
Mr May, the Battle Hub acts asan online lobby.
So, mr Maysian, what do youthink of that pick?
And plus, it's season two.
(07:11):
Yeah, it's season three.
I'm sorry, it's season threecoming up.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, it's season three pack.
You got one of our mainfighters coming out, sagat, or
Saget, as we say Saget, so yougot Saget.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
as we say Saget, so you got Saget, so got something.
You say Saget, so that's yo.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well, I can't go wrong, because you know, street
Fighter is my favorite fightinggame and everyone's jumping back
on it, so I think that's agreat pick actually.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I was going to pick Tekken, but Tekken has fallen
off a little bit, so with SeasonI believe it's Season 2, tekken
has fallen off.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Okay, I understand that.
All right, so that was Mike'sthird pick for the summer games.
Well, my summer 2025.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh no, also sorry.
Street Fighter has severaldifferent modes to play Moderate
.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
You talking about the fighting skill yeah, fighting.
Or modern, yeah, modern.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
and classic Classic which is a big hit in Japan.
People love playing that, sonewcomers won't have the
difficulty of trying to get inand play people like Mr Amazing
and his homeboys.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
So I think I'm an old breed on this game.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, so I like it.
I'm a Street.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Fighter guy, so I wholly co-sign to this.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's a fun game, it's for all platforms, including
what Mr Maze the.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Switch 2.
I'm dying to try it on theSwitch 2, actually.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I have no reason.
I don't have no reason why youwant to do it.
You know what?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
it is Because when I got introduced to Street Fighter
, it was on a Nintendo, andthat's why I'm like, oh shoot, I
get to play back on a systemthat got me into it.
For those reasons, to be honestwith you.
All right, man.
So my summer, my third pick forsummer 2025 games continues.
And guess what?
It's another Nintendo game and,ladies and gentlemen, this
one's not out yet, butanticipated.
(08:52):
I'm going with Donkey Kong.
Okay, banzai, we should be outexactly a week from now, well,
the 17th.
I don't know when this show airs, but it's coming out on the
17th of July and that game looksamazing.
I think that's going to be.
I actually picked this game tobe better than Mario Kart, and
that's weird.
It's hard for me.
A lot of people are like, well,really, this game might be more
promising than Mario Kart, tobe honest, even though I think
(09:19):
Mario Kart is would have been onthis.
But Bonanza is definitely agame I'm looking forward to and
can't wait to play it when itdoes come drop, well, on
Michael's Switch 2.
I don't have my know yet.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
All right, mr Amazing , a game I included included
sorry, included for the summergames to play is NBA Jam.
Mr Amazing, that's always a fungame.
Actually, I actually agree withthat Very fun, fun game you can
play currently you can play ifyou do have these systems PS3,
the Wii and Xbox 360.
I believe it's backwardscompatible with the Xbox One NBA
(09:56):
Jam, but, mr Macy, have a PS3.
The modding community, themodding.
You could actually hook it upwith today's players.
Yes, sir, so it's a very fungame.
Four players can play.
Anybody can pick it up andreally get into it.
So that's my pick, mr Amazing,and, like I said for the modding
(10:16):
community, you can mod it andhave the current players play on
their current teams.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Oh fair, their current teams Fair.
I like that pick.
That's a fun summer game.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And also you kept Michael Jr on there.
There you go, the cheat codeCharles Barkley.
The cheat code Reggie.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Miller.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yep Reggie Miller.
The cheat code.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yes, all right, man, my fourth summer 2025 game I'm
going with, ladies and gentlemen, and this is a perfect one,
because out during the summer,tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and 4,
which actually dropped today.
I think that's a great summergame for 2025.
For those who, for those whodidn't play it on the oldest, I
(10:51):
think it was a PS3 and 4.
That's what they were for TonyHawk, maybe even older than that
.
Maybe I played them.
They came on 2?
It might have been 2, actually.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You might be right.
I think you might be right, manI apologize for not remembering
, but that was a fun game.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I had a blast with Tony Hawk Pro Skater three and
four.
So the fact that theyremastered it dropped today get
that perfect summer game forthose who like to skateboard.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Be creative, artistic , show your ways, y'all alright,
mr Mazin, I also picked MarioKart.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh, so we got a tie.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Ding ding, ding ding ding.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I picked Mario.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Kart 8.
Oh, why 8, though?
Because most people have MarioKart 8.
If you have a 10-year-old,Switch, I get it.
But I think, if it was, a.
Budman, it's a remake of theWii U one.
It's sold, but not as well asthe Mario Kart 8 has sold on the
Switch.
(11:47):
We sold over 76 million copies,mr Amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You can't go wrong Any Mario Kart.
You just can't go wrong,Because that's family friendly.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I'm trying to correct myself.
It sold 76 million, combinedwith the Wii U and the Switch 2
sales.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Okay, okay, wow, ladies and gentlemen, I'm very
impressed.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I'm sorry, switch 1 sales Sorry, okay, okay, wow,
ladies and gentlemen, I'm veryimpressed.
I mean sorry, switch 1 sells,sorry.
Okay, not bad, not bad 76million not to sneeze about.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
No, of course not.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's a fun game.
My personal belief I play withPole Controller those little
controllers that come with itNot feeling it.
The cramps, why?
And cramps.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Wow, man, I'm very impressed to see Nintendo's
dominating on this topic.
And guess what?
We're going to continue withmore Nintendo news.
Mike, you're not going todisagree with this one, but I'm
still going to put it on there.
Because why?
I said summer is all about fun,happiness and togetherness.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And there's one game on the 10 that brings everybody
together is coming out on July24th.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Ladies and gentlemen, July 24th, you get yourself the
Super Mario Party Jumboree.
Nintendo Switch 2.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Edition oh God.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
That game brings people together, from families
to doing goofy stuff, tostanding up, to swinging, to
laughing, to being in the game,your icon, your picture.
It don't get more summer thanthat man.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You can break night with these games.
I got something that I'll dothat one.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
This is your monopoly of the summer for video games.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I got something that I'll do it.
Go ahead, drop it on me.
My next game it'll bring yourgrandmother to play a video game
.
Mr Amazing, what is this?
Your uncles, people, yourbabies, five years old, playing
the game.
It might even beat you.
What is that?
Nintendo Wii Sports.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Wii Sports is fun too .
Wii Sports was very popular insenior halls when it came out.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Very popular game, mr Amazing.
It's only stuck in the Wii, butin the Wii U you can play it on
Mr Amazing.
You can play what, mr Amazing?
These are the four main games.
You can play tennis, baseball,bowling, golf and boxing.
Mr Amazing, wow.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I can't believe Nintendo's dominating this
summer topic.
I think Nintendo got the win.
Be honest with you without evenfinishing the list, I think
Nintendo got the win, man.
Hey, I wish I was going tothrow another Nintendo one at
you, but I'm not.
But I'm going to throw aclassic at you for my summer
2025 game, coming out the 29thof this month.
Ladies and gentlemen, dive deepinto Ninja Gaiden.
(14:06):
What's it called?
Rage Bound?
That game looks good, man.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
The South Squirrel, the South Squirrel one, the
South Squirrel one, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That looks really fun , man.
That, I think, is a perfect wayto get the summer going
Continuing.
You want your one-player modeand enjoy yourself, man.
I think that's a good game toget us ready for the bigger
games.
But go ahead, though.
I don't want to talk out ofturn at the moment.
Go speak, speak no no, I wasgoing to say to get us going,
but this game is not on my list,so I will talk about it.
(14:33):
I didn't put it, but we'regoing to talk about the show
later on though.
The new Ghost of Tsushima,ninja Gaiden, ragebound.
You know that whole fight well.
It is ninja, but the other oneis samurai.
But the whole, you know thewhole fighting Well.
I see, I wonder if you couldsee the Japanese Fudo era.
I guess it could be technically.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Isn't every developer come up with that one, that
type of style of?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
game.
You can make that argument, youcan make that argument alright,
mr Maisy continue my friendlet's go.
My next one is Giz War oh, didyou pick the same one as me or
did you just pick you talking?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
about you talking about the reloaded.
The reloaded one, yeah, wecould put a reloaded one if you,
if you're waiting, if you'replacing in five individual only
placing five it's coming in what?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
August, august 26th?
That's one of my picks, so Mikeis doing my pick with me.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
So go ahead, mike, but I put the Gives Award, the
old school one.
But it's the same thing, thoughit's just remastered the
original Gives Award wasreleased in November 7th for
Xbox 360.
The Ultra Edition, which is a,I would say, remaster.
Okay, that was released inAugust.
(15:46):
Well, wait a minute, let memake sure I make the ultimate
edition released August 2015.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Okay, okay almost a year to date that this one's
being released on the PS5.
Now, this is coming out onAugust 26th.
Gears of War Reloaded but sinceyou already said, I'm not going
to say it, but we pretty muchhave the same topic on this one,
so I agree with Mike on this aswell.
Another one off the list I'mgoing to go with for my Summer
2025 picks to play, ladies andgentlemen, comes, ladies and
(16:13):
gentlemen, comes out in August,august 8th, and that is Mafia
the Old Country.
For those who are big fans ofMafia Saga, you got one coming
out this way and a lot of peopleare worried.
This game is going to come outbecause Grand Theft Auto.
Grand Theft Auto.
But no fear, because GrandTheft Auto got pushed back like
I predicted, so you're going toget this game in August y'all,
(16:33):
so a good one to go with, mr.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Mason, I'm going to go with another sports game.
Go ahead, college Football 2026.
That looks amazing.
You got me into it.
Now you know what it actuallysold, madden.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Already.
Oh, you're talking aboutopening sales.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh, no, no, Last year's, I mean sorry, last
year's college 2025 outsold, butit's also the best-selling
sports game.
It outbeat, I believe, nba 2K21 or 20.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I'm not surprised.
Remember you haven't had a gamein 10 years, Maybe more than
that so people are hungry forthat.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
ESPN was talking about it.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, people are hungry for that, so it makes
sense.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Dan Levitar, who does a sports podcast and is also on
TV as well.
He did it.
He's one of those guys whopumped up, bought a PS5 to make
sure he played that game.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Okay, okay, okay Makes sense.
Actually, I'm not mad at that.
Well, I'm going to continue mysummer 2025 game.
This game came out well beforethe summer, but it's still a
2025 game.
And I think, mike, you justbought this game, which is Clear
, obscure Expedition 33.
I thought about that too.
Yeah, so that made the list,because the reason it made the
list it's not my type of gamebut, ladies and gentlemen, the
(17:42):
wave behind it, the feelingbeing nominated for possible
game of the year.
You got to see what that'sabout for the summer 2025.
I had to make that list so youget your turn-based not really
turn-based style to it, featuresto it.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I think the main feature is turn-based.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It is turn-based, but it's different it varies.
Yeah, it varies.
Yeah, exactly that's what Icouldn't find, so that's
definitely a 2025 game for me.
Mike, go ahead, my friend.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Alright, so my next one is Elden Ring, Mr Amazing.
Oh yeah, that's a good onewhich won several Games of the
Year awards when it came out andit sold I'm going to say it
sold, mr Amazing, do you know?
Mm-mm.
30 million copies, mr Amazing,wow.
And it also came down with DonNoble DLC Wow, shadows of the
(18:30):
Tree, and I think it's off ofSwitch 2, if I'm not mistaken.
Sorry, not Shadow of the Tree,shadow of the Entry, entry, yeah
.
And it also came out recentlywith a multiplayer-focused
spin-off game, elden Ring, nightRain, mr Maze.
That came out, I believe, theend of May.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
That's a game I want to play, but I know I'm not
going to play.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
And like.
I said it's a 60, 70-hour game.
I know it's like 60, 70 hourgame.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I know I want to play it, but I know I'm not going to
play it, but hey, I believeit's a good game, man, All right
, so go back to me now.
My next game for the summer2025 continues in that, ladies
and gentlemen, that's going tobe Assassin Creed Shadows.
I mean, don't get any biggerthan that, that'll keep you busy
.
That'll keep you busy.
(19:18):
And you get to see feudal Japan.
You get to see the controversywith a black man in the game
ain't no controversy.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I got the game, no controversy.
I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You get to see all of that, but I think it's a good
pick.
It's a game that people canpick up and go and it's a good
Assassin's Creed to continue thelegacy as I get.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
That said Mr Mason.
Uh oh, my last one is DeathStranded at the Beach.
Death Stranded at the Beach.
Okay, okay, games about 40 to50 hours, depending on your play
, and getting great reviews.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Oh yeah, the reviews are like they're that good very
good very good, okay, okay, okay.
Since we both had Gears of Warloaded Gears of War, I'm gonna
add one to my last one.

Have you played it yours yet,because you're a big?
Speaker 2 (20:18):

(21:29):
That's an excellent game toplay during the summer.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Okay, that's not a bad game.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And also one of my favorites is Halo.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Halo, Halo.
Is there a specific one you'retalking about?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
We'll go with the Halo 1 and 2.

friends, your partners,homeboys, girlfriend, boyfriend,
husband, wife, grandmother,significant other okay, okay,
okay.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Well, I got a question for you.
What's your all time summergame, if you was to pick one?
I mean basically, just one game, one all time.
What I mean by that?
Just one game, one all-time.
What I mean by that?
Not like the best game to play.
Like you think of summer, youthink of this game.
That's what I mean by it.
You think of summer, you thinkof this game.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's no, I mean honestly, I'll pick Wii Sports.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Wii Sports is your all-time summer game, and I'm
taking you back, ladies andgentlemen, to 1987.
Yeah, that's how old this gamewas talking about, and this game
was classic Nah.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You're not going to get it.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
A lot of people didn't play it, to be honest
with you, but if you played ityou thought it was dope.
All right, california games,man, I love California games
that game was fun.
I used to love the skateboardAll right Ice skating.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
It does similar Ice skating Roll skating.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Ice skating, rollerblading, roller skating
yes.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
So I mean it's similar to summer.
Yeah, similar by summer, that'sah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
This game was a classic to me, man, even though
if you asked me what score youwould give this, it wouldn't be
high.
This game is probably like a 6,to be honest with you, but for
what it was, I love this game,man.
I love this game.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'm sure he's looking up on his phone.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I look at the picture because it's bringing me back
to 1987, when it came out.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I was going to mention Madden as your all-time
summer game.
No, all-time summer game as asummer game, but I already had
college football on there.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
But you know, I think some.
You think of Madden, you thinkof four.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Which is true.
I also thought that too.
I think of some.
I think of four.
That's the way to add Madden tomy list.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I think of football, I was going to pick MLB.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That would have been perfect.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
That is summer.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Baseball is summer, boys of summer, they always say
the All-Star Game is next week.
Yeah, the All-Star.
Game is next week, Mr Mazinanything else you want to say
about this?
No, I closed out my all-timesummer game, so I'm good.
Alright, mr Mazin, let's go toour Trail of the Week.
It's Mr Amazing.
(24:23):
Let's go to our trail of theweek.
It's Running man, mr Amazing.
No, let's check it out, benRichards one child in medical
crisis.
We need money for a doctor.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
now, ben, watch yourself.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Employment status blacklisted, but there's still a
way out for you.
It's the biggest show in thecountry.
One last is our birthright.
Set it free.
Welcome to the running man.
(25:07):
People on these games nevercome back.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I'm not trying to get myself killed.
It's like kissing my ass twice.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Right, there is why you can win this game.
The rules are simple Survive 30days with the entire nation
hunting you down.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
And get your family out of Slumside for good.
I'm going to come back here andburn this building down.
I promise that's the spirit.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
This is America goddammit, and we don't put up
with no bullshit yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Hunt Him.
No, stop filming me.
(26:05):
Have you ever wondered if thisgame is rigged?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
guess we'll find out you might be moving up too fast.
Hey, buddy, you're on 3B.
Yeah, yeah, you better run.
(26:34):
I got a grenade Back at you.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I'm still here, you shit eaters.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Hey, big boys, are you crazy?
Mr amazing, the running man.
Mr amazing, coming out November7th.
Mr Amazing, a different take onthe Running man.
With the Rising Running man, itwas an obstacle course.
This is more like lack of abetter word an open world game,
pretty much.
(27:27):
I don't know how you're goingto survive these 30 days yeah,
30 days, where everybody'schasing you down.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Nah son, I probably last five minutes.
Likewise, this movie reminds meof three movies or series,
whatever you want to call it.
It reminds me of John Q in thebeginning.
He's doing all this because hehas a sick son that looks like
he needs to get medicalattention for Okay.
Then it reminds me of SquidGame, because he's in the game
that he has to survive to win aprize.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
And once he wins he's going to come back and burn it
down.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, and it reminds me of John Wick, because
everyone's trying to kill himand he has to survive, which is
true.
So it looks like you have thethree components in one movie
for all this.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
You know what that means?
It's going to be disaster.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
It scares me, because how do you combine all those
three things in a two hour moviemaybe?
How do you combine all thosethree things in there?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Good luck, mr Major.
So should we green light it,red light it or yellow light it?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I'm going to yellow it.
I'm going to yellow it.
It ain't look bad to me, butit's just interesting how you're
going to fit all that, becauseit literally looks like those
three movies to me.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's coming out November 7th, I don't know what
else is coming around that time,I don't know anything that's
popular.
That's more like a Januarymovie if you don't got nothing
really solid to watch.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I'll still yellow light it though.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yo, I'm going to red light it, you're going to red
light it.
We should come home.
I'm streaming, you sure.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
On, I yell at it.
I yell at it just because I'mcurious to see how this John Q
Squid Game John Wick movie playsout.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I just, I just it looks like something to go to
Amazon Prime.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I mean you might be right.
You might be right, but ifyou're not, I want to be on the
right side of history, maybesomewhere in the yellery,
alright alright, mr Amazing,yell at me, just be cautious.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
just be cautious like I didn't say don't you.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
You're saying don't go see in the theaters.
I said don't go see in thetheaters.
I said hey, at your own, atyour own discretion, at your own
discretion.
I didn't say no, I just said atyour own discretion man.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Mr Amazing, alright, mr Amazing, y'all light.
I red lighted Mr AmazingRunning man coming out November
7th.
Are you going to see it?
Let us know in the comments.
Mr Amazing, let the people knowyou can speak.
Have all your peace, mr Amazing.
Guess who's coming to Xbox?
(29:52):
This is our sugar care topic ofthe week.
All right, guess who's coming?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
X going to give it to you who's coming.
Who's coming, let us know.
Put us on.
So did I was too.
Wow.
The PlayStation 5 exclusive isdropping on the Xbox.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
August 26th of this year, Mr Amazing Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
That could be part of our summer game.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Mr Amazing, that'd be a good choice too, mr.
I've been a good choice too.
Mr Amazing, what do you thinkabout this?
You got PlayStation, who putanother game on a different
system Not a computer, pc, steam, whatever on another competing
system.
Mr Amazing, what do you thinkabout that?
Because you do have HorizonLego game on the Switch.
(30:33):
Now you have Helldivers 2 onthe Xbox.
Now you have Helldivers 2 onthe Xbox.
Joe Sotty does own the rightsto Helldiver, to the Helldiver
franchise in general, but hestill put it on there.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Mr Mason yeah, and I think Sotty is learning from
Xbox.
Actually, I think Sotty saidheck man, they put Xbox games on
our platform and it's blowingup.
We should do the same thing too.
Now it's our turn.
Let's make our money on theXbox platform now.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
God of War I mean not God of War.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
God of War is not coming there no, no, no, not
games like that, but like theyhad other games that went on
there, like Horizon, yeah, so ifI can see Horizon going on the
Switch.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
yeah, pretty friendly Lego game Blah blah blah, I
think.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
To me it's like how do we extend our franchise?
Plus, it's a multiplayer game,so that's going to blow up on
the Xbox.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
And I also look at this with their failed success,
failed efforts with all themultiplayer, all the
multi-functioning free to legend, free to play or live service
games.
Have failed, other thanHelldivers.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah.
So I think let's milk this,Milk this, get a new audience.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
No, they still got to make more money.
It's amazing what's theall-star game that came out that
failed?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
What's that game that was supposed to come out but
never came out?
Well, the game.
Oh, I forgot what it was.
I forgot, oh my God, I forgotwhat it was.
It was the pay-to-play gameConcord, concord.
There you go.
So this is them rebounding fromConcord.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
So they're trying, and how many live shows are we
getting?
They're getting cancer ready.
A lot, a lot.
Live service gain canceled.
True, oh, shoot, there's otherlive service gains.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I can't even tell.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
There's way more and, like I said, a lot of people
say and I said it in a previouspodcast one successful live
service gain could like repairthe damage that four or five
others do.
That's a lot of money wasted.
Agree, they're supposed to have10 or 12?
, mr Mays, if you think about it, how the hell do you have 10 or
12 live service games while onecannibalizing the other?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's true, that's true.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
It makes no sense.
Yeah, you can probably get itwith two or three successful
ones and the way you go about itlike Marvel Rivals, you can
have that Because you have thelicense.
All the combo heroes yes, thatcould work.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Hell's Abyss is working.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
It's very popular Hell's Abyss 2 works.
You know what I'm saying?
What's the movie?
Shoot?
That movie came out.
It's slightly based on thatmovie With all the aliens,
Starship Troopers and they wasgoing to multiply the game, but
Hell'sopers.
Oh, okay, okay, okay, and theywasn't going to multiply a game,
but Hell's Diablos 2, yo,kicking ass.
(33:23):
Yeah, it did and it still does.
So I think Sony was chasingmoney and this was the end
result that yo, we got to putthis on our Xbox system.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And they got to get the money.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
You got to make more money.
Mr Amazing Agree, fair gamesare supposed to come out.
We even heard a peep, peep,silence Peep on them, and I
forgot the other game that'ssupposed to come out Shoot.
What sort of game is supposedto come out?
I don't remember what.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Bungie, I didn't talk about it now actually.
Oh my god, I forgot, I didn'ttalk about that actually.
Oh my god, I forgot, I didn'ttalk about that.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
you know what it deserves to be forgotten.
When it when it comes back out,we'll try to remember exactly
cause you know what it's gonnabomb?
Probably right.
So, mr Mazin, should we care alot?
A little, not at all.
Reference to this.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I'm gonna care I think it's Mr Mazin.
Should we care a lot?
A little, not at all.
Reference to this.
I'm going to care.
I think it's a big move forSony actually.
I think it's a big move forSony actually to put it on Xbox
platforms.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Should we care a lot?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Not a lot, but I think it's notable.
I think it's notable All right,so I mean I think it's a
actually I don't care.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
All I had a plan for this was going to happen, like I
said, you see all thosefailures for attempts to make
money off live service games.
You had those rumblings, xboxplayers saying, oh, can we get
this?
And probably the developers ofthe game said, come on, let's do
this.
And Sonya looked at it hold up.
Look at all these failedservice games conquered Fair
game we don't know what the hellis going on.
(34:56):
The cancel Naughty Dogmultiplayer game.
The cancel other games, lastyear's games they're like hell.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
We gotta make some more money.
True, true, true bottom line.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
It comes down.
Cash flows everything around meas always my man so alright, mr
Amazing, I care not at all,cause, like I said, I'm not
surprised by it.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Okay, I'm going to call it notable.
I care because it's notable.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
All right, mr Amazing , do you have a shout out of the
week you want to give out?
I don't have a gangsta onWednesday of the week either.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, I don't really have a shout out either, but I
do have a quick comment I wantto make.

Thunder Oklahoma City Thunder,win it.
