What if the gaming industry's future lies in breaking down exclusivity barriers? We dive into this provocative question as we explore the recent breakup between Kojima Productions and Sony, leading to Death Stranding's expansion onto Xbox. This shift signifies a broader trend of AAA games seeking profitability through multi-platform releases, echoing the iPhone's pivotal departure from AT&T exclusivity. We celebrate the financial success of Black Myth: Wukong, a testament to how modest budgets can still yield staggering sales, challenging the traditional gaming distribution narrative.

The console wars heat up as we examine Nintendo's rumored Switch 2 and its potential impact on the market. With features like backward compatibility and enhanced handheld play, this new console could be a game-changer for holiday shoppers. We also compare Nintendo's strategy to Xbox's robust backward compatibility, contemplating whether Nintendo's sales might eclipse the legendary PlayStation 2. Could a strategic price drop be Nintendo's secret weapon to claim the top spot?

Fighting game enthusiasts, rejoice! Our discussion buzzes with excitement over potential gaming revivals and EVO announcements, from the anticipated return of Virtua Fighter to fantasies of a Marvel-DC crossover. We critique the missed opportunities of Jump Force and dream of a Transformers fighting game that pushes boundaries. The idea of a Penguin-centered Batman game also captures our imaginations, inspired by recent TV portrayals. We wrap up with a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Quincy Jones, celebrating his indelible mark on music and eagerly anticipating the launch of our YouTube channel. Join us on this whirlwind gaming journey, where possibilities are limitless and the future is bright.

for Sony, damn.
And this move, not includingSpider-Man.
But today's show we're going tobegin Yo to Kojima and Sony
breakup.
Mr Maze, you want to go into it?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, so the latest is that PlayStation is actually
losing an exclusive.
We should hear this from Xbox,but we actually heard it the
other way around, so the rumoris well not really a rumor, it's
official.
Now it's official son DeathStranding is heading to Xbox.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
It is Xbox.
It is it Xbox, it is Xbox.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
It is.
It is, you're right, there's nolonger a past tense.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
It's present.
Now it's present.
Yo tell them what the deal is,though.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, so the thing is my thing.
Hold on A couple of things.
Actually, there's a lot tobreak down with this All right,
go ahead so first thing is thatwe know a part two is coming out
.
It's already been out, wealready know it.
We saw the teaser walking onthe beach.
So my thing is A my first partis is part two coming to Xbox
also, mr Mazer, tell them we'llcut the deal Right now.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
You're going to Xbox For how much bro?

Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's not on Game Pass , is it?

Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's not on Game Pass .
The Death Stranding Director'sCut is receiving a 50% discount
on Xbox consoles.
That's pretty steep.
Normally it costs $40 at thistime.
Yeah, if you go on PlayStationyou'll get $20.
Why so cheap, yo?
To get the sales.
Get the sales, bro.
Get the sales, make that money,but you know in this.

(02:01):
It's an older game, Mr Mason.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
It and this it's an older game.
Mr Mason, it's an older game.
Yeah, I get it, and of courseit's an older game.
Yeah, but you can say the samething about Horizon that went
from the from PlayStation to PC.
They didn't make those gamescheap, though they weren't that
cheap.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
they weren't that cheap, but, like I said, that's
a different story, I guess, andPlayStation sold the IP back,
sold the IP to KajitaProductions.
Oh, that's true too.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
You're right about that.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
They didn't get it for free.
They didn't say, hey, here yougo.
So they probably worked a dealout with Part 2.
Yes, it probably Most likely itwill go to Xbox, but most
likely they had to create a deal, but not day one though.
You're saying later on likekind of I like that.
Okay, gotcha, my thing is whatis this?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
what do you think?
Is this new wave we have, nowthat you have AAA games coming
to other consoles, withsomething we never heard of 10
years ago AAA games coming toother consoles.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Let's keep it real.
You're talking about exclusivesthat were a synonymous for one
platform.
I mean, yeah, it's starting tobreak the computer it platform.
I mean, yeah, it's starting tobreak, it's coming down with
what, mr Mason, would it alwayscome down?
And we say it's sports and wesay it's not about the money,
it's always about the money andI'm happy that's what you said,
because that's the only way toget to.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
So we're seeing more triple O games coming to other
from one exclusive console toanother like Final Fantasy yeah,
and the reason I think this ishappening is because, remember,
games are more expensive to make, so if you're having a one
system, you're not banking.
You've got to put it on adifferent cloud or platform.
It's just like when we alwayssay this I always use this
analogy when Apple was exclusiveto AT&T and Apple was like hell

(03:38):
with this, we need to make bank, and they opened their doors.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Let's play to the kiddies Apple.
You can say Apple, what do youmean?
The iPhone.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
So the iPhone specifically, was exclusive to
AT&T for a few years, I thoughtit was Verizon.
No, it was AT&T, at&t.
At&t had the exclusivity tothat For a few, for a couple of
years, and then, after a while,they said uh-uh, it, they're
able to open up their doors tohundreds of thousands of
different more consumers.
So I think this is the samething we're seeing now with

(04:06):
games, where AAA games are whatUpwards.
How much money did they makenow, micah, for AAA games?
Nine million AAA games are tomake.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
No, not.
I wish there was nine million.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
There's more than that.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I think Spider-Man costs 300 million Woo Plus.
You got to count the licensefee they that they pay.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
So look at that, I was being generous when I said
nine million.
So look at what he just said.
So you got to put these gameson different platforms.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Or if you go with.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Black Myth.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Wukong, that game was only made for 60 million and
that game is made bank.
Yeah, that's a pass.
That's made bank and it's in amulti-platform system.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
It still has to jump for Xbox.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's still going to make the Xbox money, but it's
made bank.
I think it made also over 20million copies.
Oh you get those.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's like the movies we get.
We get those movies all thetime, where a movie comes out
only because it's a certainamount of money and then it
surpassed that week three intheaters.
They're just past the gross.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
The horror movie, terrified Part 3, I think it
cost $8 million to make.
Yeah, $7 million, whatever $5million.
They made the money back, ofcourse.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
They had a long time.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I think it's made $40 million.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Even the first Scream , I think, did that too, if I'm
not mistaken.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Also still streaming making money.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
No, absolutely Absolutely.
So like I think we're going tosee more of this, this is a new
wave to come and I'm okay withit, I'm happy with it.
I mean, it might hurt, it mightsuck for people who are upset.
You know are like big on thewhole console exclusives.
Oh, I got this because I wanted, you know, I wanted to get over
that, but this is the new wave,man.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I mean, you can look at this bright part for Sony
enthusiasts or supporters orfanboys, whatever you might call
them that look, you get itfirst.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
You get it first.
Yeah, you're right, because alot of times these things don't
come out until at least what twoyears, or maybe more than that
Six years.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I mean not six years, sorry.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Six months a year.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, yeah, most of the two years because Death
Stranding came out.
What a year and a half ago,came out four years ago.
Damn, it was that long ago, Ithink three or four years look
how long before it came toanother console that's fine.
Kojima probably worked his dealout because with this IP, they
plan to do anime series, do amovie regarding this and
probably TV dramas because youknow Kojima wants to go further

(06:21):
on other than video games Ofcourse Go step into the
Hollywood scene.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Make movies and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I can see that for him.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
So we'll see what goes on with this.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
He says he's bigger than life.
He's bigger than the platform.
Don't label him.
That's what he said.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Mr Amazing, that's a good.
I mean look.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Kajima Kojima is a lot of people video game god, so
I mean we all know him fromwhat game though?
Yeah, metal Gear, metal Gear.
You think Kojima?
That's the first game becauseof my head.
To be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
The only thing I won't say he's overrated, but
that's the only series I knowhim for and I think he what's
that.
That's the only guy I reallyknow him for.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
I know he probably did other games, yeah but those
are the ones we know him for,though.
Yeah, that's his money maker.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
That's cute.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
The main ones we know him for is Metal Gear, and I
think that's why he broke tieswith Sony.
I think that's why I thinkthat's one of the reasons I
think he I said I'm not joking,but I said that he wants to be
bigger than life.
He wants to be his ownindividual.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
He doesn't want to just be known for that and also
you probably told so look, man,let me get my own product back,
sell it back to me.
Yeah, I will make other gamesfor you as well absolutely you
know what I'm saying.
I'm not mad at that, yeah youknow.
So you gotta work a deal out.
But, mr Mason, anything elseyou want to say about this topic
?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
No no, but don't buy it.
I didn't know about the wholeprice thing.
That I didn't know.
I learned something today.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yes, you always learn from Mr Mason.
Yeah, it happens sometimes.
It happens sometimes it happenssometimes and I'm still waiting
for my wings.
I spent my wings next week.
I want Buffalo Wild Wings.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
I went down for who is the?

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Buffalo Wilds.
Alright, mr Mason, let's go tothe Tindall Switch rumors.
Brother, it is on and poppingTindall rumors is tight and
steady.
People are begging for it.
It's getting warm, mr Mason,cause what.
Mr Mason, how much TindallSwitch has sold?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
I believe 144 million creep it on that PS2.
Creep it on that PS2 ain'thappening.
And what do we got coming along, baby?
We got the holiday seasoncoming in for more sales.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
But as we said in the previous podcast, the sales
have been dipping.
It has been dipping.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
It has been dipping, but they're not gone.
So we're still there, which istrue, and remember, when the new
consoles come out, what didthey tell us?
That's so smart.
You know what?
Actually, I'm going to hold offthis comment, but tell us.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Chris, in the past three months it's only sold four
of this is pretty good.
Viva the Xbox Four millionconsoles that's great.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
In the past three months, that's great for a
system that's seven years old.
That's great.
If we took that perspective.
Yes, it's great.
It's great you can still sellthat.
Let's get to it.
Because I want to mentionsomething else too.
Can you go to the rumor?
Okay, so the rumor is we gotsome Switch 2.

(09:10):
What is code name for?
They have different names forit, actually, and what we
learned is that, well, sorry, wedon't got a release date, we
don't got a price point, but wedid get some facts, and the fact
that we got is that the newSwitch 2 is going to be
backwards compatible with theoriginal Switch console, which

(09:31):
also, it's supposed to launch inearly part of 2025.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
And that means it's cartridge based.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
It is cartridge based .
That's exactly.
That was a good point, actuallyvery good point.
So it's cartridge based, sowhich is I like cartridge?
I have a little nostalgia.
Good point so it'scartridge-based, so which is I
like cartridge?
I have a little nostalgia tothat, so I'm cool with that.
So that's good news.
Actually, back withcompatibility.
Like it makes people like ohman, let's keep buying games.
That's why this is what I wantto get into.
This is why I think Nintendo isso smart.
Right now, nintendo couldeasily say Switch is coming out

(10:06):
March of 2025.
But they said, nah, you knowwhy we're not going to do that?
Because we still want to sellthis current gen for the holiday
.
We just got a new MarioBrothers that just dropped.
We're going to make our bankoff of it.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
But the new Mario, it got some, not.
It didn't get normal Marioreviews, it didn't get it.
But the movie Mario, it gotsome, not it got.
Yeah, it didn't get normalMario reviews, it didn't get it.
And Mr Amazing lost a betbecause he bet on that Prince of
Peace game Like it didn't movethe needle, but it still sold.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
It still sold.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
It's funny to have it with booms and stuff like that
you always think about, aboutthe women's movie.
Nobody came after that.
Nobody came after that.
Nobody came after the godfatherof gaming All right so but also
Nash Wheeler.
He claimed that there'd be aperformance mode exclusively on
the handheld play option forthis new Nintendo Switch that

(10:58):
comes out.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh, what mode.
I didn't hear you.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Performance mode.
So what do you mean?
Like a higher quality.
You know how you control theperformance, whether it's frame
rate, oh, okay, Something likethat.
So we'll see.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, no, that's good .
I think Nintendo's playing thisvery well.
They're still showing off totheir current gen.
They're giving you littleteasing snippets of what's going
to come out.
People know hey, don't worry,when a new system comes out,
keep them games, because you canalso play on them.
But you know what, though?
It gets tricky when it saysback and compatible, because
sometimes they hit you with thewhole.

(11:31):
In our store you can get copiesof the old thing.
So we got to watch out what shecan tell when it comes to that.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Actually, I think it's going to be cartridge based
it should be.
That's what Nintendo's knownfor.
I still just do a cartridgebase.
The only one Nintendo is that.
Oh, they can pull an Xbox whenall the games are backwards
compatible.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
They could do that too.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
That's what I love with these Xbox fans, supporters
or fanatics oh, Xbox is thebest compatibility.
Yes, for the first party games,which are the games from a
previous generation, can playthe Xbox, but let's not make a
mistake in it, like these arethe godfathers of backwards
compatibility.
No, it's not playing all theseexclusive games.
Yes, they did a decent job ofdoing it, but let's not

(12:11):
overpraise Xbox for theirbackwards compatibility.
Great, but like I said before,they had to do that because
they're losing the battle.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, exactly.
So on that, if we go to thenext topic, michael I think you
might have mentioned it not toolong ago as five days ago
Nintendo currently has 144million units sold.
Mike, are you convinced, fromour topic for the last year and
a half, that it is going tosurpass the PS2 sales?

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Like Jim Ryan said, yo, he has documentation.
That's more than that.
I know it's approaching 160million, yeah, so until then,
you know what I'm saying.
I got to text with you rightnow.
Sit around and text me.
Yo, mike, I got your backlisten if this is too so.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
158 million, it's 14 million, behind it, it's 155,
158 158 million ooh that's a lot158 million not really, it's 14
million, it's 14 million andyou have a holiday season coming
in.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
I'm going to stick with it.
I'm going to stick with it andsay what, what I said before,
it's going to come close, butit's not going to get it.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I'm not going to get it actually.
Okay, before we go to the nexttopic.
So it's 14 million away.
You have a holiday season andover the holiday season I'm
going to predict that Tenno'sdown to $10 million.
Right, so you got between $10million because the shelf life
on this is going to be about ayear after the new system comes

(13:45):
out.
For a year they're still goingto be making gains for this.
So you got to sell another $10million.
And remember, the system willget discounted even deeper.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's not going to be on discounted period.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
No, it's going to be discounted when a new system
comes out.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
You think so, of course.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
It's going to get discounted?
How much?

Speaker 1 (14:01):
do you think this is going to cost?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Honestly, I think Nintendo's going to drop it down
almost $100.
That's what I think Almost $100.
I'm not saying it is.
I think it's going to drop $100and that's going to move Unity
even more, maybe $.
They're chasing that system,michael.
They're not going to admit it,but you know they're chasing it,
michael.
You know they're chasing thatprize.
That would be big for Nintendoto have the number one selling

(14:25):
console of all time.
You know they're chasing it.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Like I said, I don't know how much the I can't count
the Wii U, the Wii U whenNintendo was a failure, so I
can't count.
When the Wii U came out, it wasdead.
It was dead.
When Switch came out, wii U wasdead on arrival.
It was not dead on arrival, itwas dead.
It was dead buried 20 feetunder.
So I can't, you know.

(14:48):
Even with some of the consolesPlaystation, sometimes they
lower the price of thePlaystation 3 or Playstation 4
that much lower.
I mean they had price cuts, butI don't know.
Let's see.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
We'll come back at it after the holiday season.
Let's see.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I said $4 million, the times are different, because
they did that price cut for PS3.
They did that price cut for PS4.
Okay, the only thing is time tochange.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I agree with you on that.
We'll see.
Let's see for the holidayseason.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
We'll see if the terrorists, those terrorists
that are happening with Trump.
We'll see how much they cost.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
We'll see.
Like I said, I think fourmillion for the holiday season.
I think that's a fair number.
I just threw out there and thenwe'll see.
We'll come back, we'll talkabout this after the holiday
season again.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
We'll see.
We'll see.
All right, mr Mazin, you knowwhat I'm saying.
We're fighting girls, we playfighting games, but we're going
to talk about a fighting gamethat's making a comeback,
hopefully next year, mr Amazing.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Virtual.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Fighter Making a comeback.
It's been around for years.
Yo, it's the first one since theUltimate Showdown, right, yes,
they thought they forgot it wasmentioned in an interview with
VGC it?
Yes, they thought they forgot.
It was mentioned in aninterview with uh.
What is it with vgc?
Yeah, it was mentionedinterview.
He was talking about uh.
What's his name?
Excuse me to get his name.
Guy's name, justin scarapont.

(16:09):
Scare one stated in theinterview several games that are
making a comeback, whichinclude jet, red, radio, streets
of Rage, shinobi, crazy Taxi,and he also mentioned that a
virtual fighting game is indevelopment.
Damn it, evo.
Yo, evo's gonna be.

(16:31):
It's gonna be very lit nextyear.
They'll probably announce EVOnext year.
It'll probably come out in 2026.
Oh, you think it's coming outnext year?

Speaker 2 (16:38):
no, it's not coming out next year.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
No it's not coming out next year.
Okay, not next year, no.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
So it's the first one since 2021, I think the last
one came out.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, and I remember they came out with the digital
version.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, I remember that I have that you know how Mike
always says the god one ofGodfather.
3d gaming, I remember the firstone I ever had was the one on
Sega Saturn.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, Sega Saturn.
I think I had it on Sega Saturn.
I think I had it on Sega SaturnI had it on the Sega Saturn.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
It was the first one I had.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
I loved the game.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
I enjoyed it and I that 3D fighting we've seen Dead
or Alive.
And then I think Tekken Tekkenwas always somewhat 3D, but then
it modeled.
It surpassed that obviously,but then it all falls in that
same family.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Tekken was always 3D, it's always 3D, yes, I'll say,
but like Virtua Fighter was waybetter at it at that time.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
I feel personally With the, you know the 3D-ness,
but I look forward to seeing it.
We got an SNK game, we gotVirtua Fighter, we got the
Street Fighter, the MortalKombat that all came out.
So next year's EVO is going tobe really amazing, man, if it is
playable by then.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Also, you got the Capcom fighting collection, part
2 coming out.
Bring back games that were leftto Not left to die, but only on
Sega Dreamcast.
Yeah, yeah, and charging vocaldials to get the physical copy
of that.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, if you're a fan of fighting games, this is a
good time to be alive y'all.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh yeah, most definitely, most definitely,
most definitely.
Well, Mr Mazin, I know we askedthe question before, but we're
going to reiterate it.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
What fighting game that could make a comeback.
What did I say last time, jews?
I can't remember what I saidlast time.
You go first, I have to thinkGo ahead.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Bloody Roar.
Bloody Roar is pretty good, Ithink that's one.
Skull Girls.
I remember Skull Girls.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
I remember that too, I thought they could have done.
A Killer Instinct.
A Killer Instinct, but better.
Like you know, more to today'sRival Schools.
Rival Schools was dope too.
I can't forget about that.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Dark Stalkers.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Dark Stalkers was good as well.
Are we doing boxings too?
I mean technically, I mean it'snot.
I mean it's a fight, but not.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
You want to throw in the ring.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Go ahead.
Ready to rumble?
I always like ready.
I think you're going to sayFight Night.
We spoke about that in the lastepisode.
We spoke about our anticipationfor that.
Remember, the rumor is they'reworking on one.
We'll see, we'll see they'reworking on one.
That's why I didn't say FightNight.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Raiden Rumble.
Nah, why not I?

Speaker 2 (19:10):
think it's got to do with push the guy off the ring,
uppercut him off the ring.
He comes back.
Yeah, they know that.
I am thinking about Reign King.
Actually, I'm in a mistake.
That is Reign King, you'reright.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
There's one part of Reign King that you know.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
I'm talking about which?

Speaker 1 (19:24):
part.
I'll show you one day the part.
I don't know what's going on.
I'll have to see, I'll show you.
Okay, hopefully we'll getenough time that Reign King with
and start this YouTube channel.
We'll see, we'll display it.
Okay, that got me curious.
Okay, mr Amazing?
What else you want to say aboutthis, mr Amazing?

Speaker 2 (19:47):
I don't know, but now you got me stuck.
I want to come up with a goodfighting game.
I just can't remember off myhead right now.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Okay, good fighting.
What else Know?
A fighting game I wish would toget.
A wish will happen, which one Ialways want to transform the
fighting game.
That'll be interesting, liketransformers, voltron or
something I don't know, evenwith the transfer characters.

(20:13):
You're probably some way youcould do that, but I'll be kind
of cool.
I think they have one, but itwas on pc but um, I think it's
possible we could do that.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
That would be dope, that would be nice.
I think a game like Jump what'sthat?
Jump, jump, jump, jump Shun,the one that you bought.
I was very disappointed with it.
With the anime, the mix up withall the anime, there was two of
them Jump Shun, the All-Star J,yeah and the other yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Like I didn't like it , it's okay.
I didn't get that bad, I didnot like it, I thought it was
okay.
Nothing to brag about.
It's something you play around,mess around with um, but is it
one of the top no 20 fightinggames?
They could have done better.
I put 20, I put top 20, nothingtop 20.
They could have done way better, not top 20.
So I don't like I saidTransformers or a crossover I'd
like to happen.
It would be Marvel vs DC.

(21:04):
Okay, that'd be cool, that wasso, that's just so.
10 million copies no, I agreewith you.
That's a 10 million copies.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
I mean, I'm gonna.
I'm gonna go off topic.
I don't wanna do that, but I'mgonna go off topic anyway.
If you're all going off topic,go ahead.
What game I would like to seeis, like you know, you see how
they always make Batman games Iwant to see a game based on
Joker.
Not Joker, but on Penguin.
I know you're going to sayPenguin, no, but yo, oh God, I
know I'm in the moment becauseof the show.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
You want to see a game or you want Batman versus
at all.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Not to do it that way , but based on Penguin like the
whole, the way he was.
I know I'm in the momentbecause of the show but I would
like to see it.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Word for us is that there's still going to be more
deep in the hole.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
No, but the reason I like it because I think even
with the Gotham, that was onregular TV or whatever.
Which station was that on ofthe Penguin on HBO?
You're talking about the GobShow on Fox.
Yeah, the way they displayedPenguin's whole lifestyle and
the way he was going to bethrough the Fox, and all that
until now the Penguin on HBO.
I think they did a good jobwith it.

(22:08):
Man, I think Penguin couldcarry a game.
I really think he can, butthat's just me.
I would play it.
By the way, I I don't want togo off topic too much, but go
ahead, Mike.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
You know I was games too.
I'd be like, yeah, reject, Ithink you can make it work.
No, I was throwing you out theoffice.
I'm the freakiest idiot talkingabout.
You think you'll be worse thanConcord, and you know what's
funny about Concord.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Herbert Hurst was a big component for that I know, a
old cheerleader for that I know.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
And we blame fully blame Jim Ryan.
Damn right I did.
He still has responsibility.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
That probably cost so many millions of dollars yeah,
a lot of for the live service 10years to get to get trash in
two weeks and reform.
People back their money.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
That's embarrassing for Mr Mason.
Let's go off to Movie Land.
Venom 3 was popped out a coupleof weeks ago, mr Mason, making
bank, mr Mason.
The film has earned over $394million, plus Probably hit the
$500 million mark.
Wait, that's international,because I know the message is

(23:15):
$500 million.
It's over, overall, overall.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Overall.
So you're talking aboutinternational Okay.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
So hopefully we'll say it'll probably hit half a
billion.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
You saw it already.
No, I didn't see it.
I'm surprised I didn't see ityet.
You know what I'm saying.
So that's good for them, for aSpider-Man movie without?

Speaker 2 (23:36):
yeah, pretty much.
I mean it's a good achievementand you know, with the Venom
success, you can expect a Venomgame and a Venom sequel.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Well, they put that they put you working on a Venom
game yeah, remember whathappened with the leak?

Speaker 2 (23:51):
that was supposed to be one of the games.
Yeah, it was one of the gamesbut it didn't happen.
It got scrapped.
I think because it got scrappedbecause of the leak but, who
knows, we'll talk about thatlater.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
But Mr Amazing, I think, because he got scrapped
because of the leak.
But who knows, we'll talk aboutthat later.
But Mr Amazing, yes, sir, anymovies you're looking forward to
for the holiday season.

Speaker 2 (24:07):

Isn't it must-see?
I want to see Gladiator 2.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Oh man, you're right, that's what I should have
started off with yeah.

I just saw him.
There's probably way more thanthat.
There's somebody just listed.
Damn, that guy is paid.
Whoever his agent is gets thisman paid.
The guy was the face of theOlympics.
You never thought a rapper fromthe West Coast gangster era
would have ever been thissuccessful having a TV cookout
with Martha Stewart.

(31:01):
Ladies and gentlemen, thisman's a living icon.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Oh yeah, and like I said, I think, if we like just
be popular, not the money wise,and we know Jay-Z's a big rap
figure and money wise, but ifyou walk in the mall, who will
people grab you?
Snoop Dogg, that's Snoop Dogg,snoop Dogg.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Because you know him everywhere.
People don't even know hismusic, but it's so funny People
probably think he's a gamer or acooker before they think he's a
rapper.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Now, yeah, because that's an actor, actor, rapper,
yeah because that's his littlepart of life Spokesman.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Spokes.
The guy was in the favoriteOlympics.
You would never think of thatof him.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
I'm very happy to see that for him though maybe Flay
or Flay, flay or Flay foranother one.
Yeah, you didn't think thatabout him as well give the guys
credit.
You know the longevity of eachone in their career absolutely,
man.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Keep it going, man, you can rejuvenate yourself
that's right, mr Amazing, we goto.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Oh well, hold up, I forgot to say.
Should we care, mr Major?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Ooh, we talking about what we're caring about.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
I'm talking about this our should we care?
Topic because Snoop Dogg's init.
Should we care?

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I feel like I was going to say no, but then you

yeah, I feel like I was goingto say no, but you know what
care?
I care Snoop man.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
I think we should care.
I think we should care.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
That's a big deal.
It's a big deal.
It's a big deal because it's anAfrican-American man doing it,
and not to say no other race cando it.
But you don't see us doing thiskind of stuff all the time on
so many levels.
So hell yeah, I do care.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Alright, mr Amazing, let's do this, let's do this.
Nintendo, the Godfather came in.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Uh-oh, what did they do.
Or what did they do Like?

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Karis once said.
A fan rapper said how manypeople must get sued every time
you bleep with Nintendo?

Speaker 2 (32:53):
You don't bleep with Nintendo.
Nintendo, don't play about thisyo.
I don't know what people aregoing to learn.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
They don't play with the IP.
This young man, I believe, inDenver.
He thought he was the Mac, hethought he was gangster, mr
Amazing, he stole something youknow.
Nintendo will show you who'sthe real gangster.
Nintendo is the godfather ofgaming.
Yes, according to a lawsuitfiled November 6th, nintendo

(33:20):
believes Jesse Kingston streamedPirated Veil games on YouTube
Discord, switch, tiktok, damn itand also emailed or mailed them
saying I could do this all daylong.
Oh, wow, damn it, throwing hislife away because Nintendo will
get you with their lawyers andhold you in court and have you

(33:43):
be paid your whole life salaryaway.
But he didn't want to play.
Mr Amazing the 10-0 went afterhim, went and had all his stuff
taken down, damn, and thelawsuit could lose him up to 7
million dollars.
I thought he had that kind ofmoney $7 million.
I said $7 million.
Yeah, I thought that guy hadthat kind of money $7 million,

(34:06):
plus all the penalties thatNintendo's going to put down on
him.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Does Nintendo at least send you a stop and desist
letter, or they just come afteryou?
Yeah, they send receipts.
They told him to stop it.
He ignored it.
He ignored it.
That's why I don't feel bad forthis dude.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
He boasted in late October that he has thousands of
burner channels to stream andthreaten to continue to use them
, saying he could do this allnight long.
I'm judging all night, all daylong.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
This should be a wankster.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Like I said, the 10-0 is a gangster they gave you a
warning.
This is the first time we havea gangster and a gangster in the
same situation, Mr Maze.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah, not too many times we get this and, to be
honest with you, this guy's anidiot.
If you get that letter in themail, you won.
You saw the examples they'vedone.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
You saw the examples.
They don't play.

Speaker 2 (34:53):

Speaker 1 (34:53):
That.
That's why you call him theGodfather.
We don't mess with the.
Godfather, we don't.
The teller gave you the twokisses of the cheeks.
They gave you a warning.
I gave you a warning again.
They gave you the two kisses ofthe cheeks, were coming for you
