How y'all doing?
We back with another episode ofIn Another World with your boys
, Mo, and I'm here with Kaz.
Yo, what's good y'all?
We got a spicy episode fory'all.
Maybe not so spicy, it's achill day, I wouldn't call it
spicy.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I mean, some of the stuff is a little controversial.
But spicy might be a littletough.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I hope y'all guys are well and all we have might be a
little tough.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I hope y'all guys are well and all we have been.
We've been fine on our new,been good bro.
Life funny.
I don't like it, but it's funny.
Does that count?

Speaker 1 (00:36):
I mean, hey, it's, it's something.
It's also um fall now crazy.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, I used to like the in-between periods of like.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
When the weather's transitioning.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, but I developed asthma.
Now I got all these newallergies and it seems like the
trees are trying to killeverybody.
I'm good bro, I just wantwinter to get here.
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
Look I hate the summer, I likethe winter.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Summer's only good for certain things though.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Hey bro, I can't go outside and keep taking clothes
off.
I can put as much clothes asthe fuck I want on for winter,
yup man just stay fall.
Fall's the best season anyway,no it's hoodie season, I can't
even keep my windows open forwhat in fall?
Yes, if I'm not hopped up onallergy medication, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
I can't even keep my windows open.
For what?

Speaker 2 (01:25):
In fall.
Yes, if I'm not hopped up onallergy medication, bro, like
I'm constantly in a state ofZyrtec.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
See, that's your problem though.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
But for me fall is the better season.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's very what do they call it?
What Subjective.
It's very subjective, that's afact.
Fall is better.
Yeah, you, you got it, bro, yougot it.
I think that's the thing Ilearned this year.
Stop arguing with me, firstlesson of 2024.
Stop stop fighting withmotherfuckers.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
It ain't worth it I mean hey, man, you live longer.
You got it, bro fall greatestseason ever we can all agree,
though, that spring is prettyass, though.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, because then you're going into summer and you
really know that it's as hot.
I was born in December.
Don't judge me, I see so that'swhy you like it so much.
I came from Jamaica.
I came here.
It was snowing the day I cameto America.
I swear to God, when did youcome over?
I was like 12.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
No, no, not when.
Like what age, though?
But like oh, oh, oh.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Actually, this is two different stories.
The first time I came was inthe summer.
The time I came to live, it waspushing winter and it had been.
It wasn't like a snowstorm ornothing.
It wasn't like OD, but it wasmy.
I'm Jamaican.
It's my first time seeing snow,so yeah so it was lit.

(02:47):
I fell in love with snow and Ifell in love with the winter
seasons and I just like it snowis good for like the first
couple of days, and then it'sannoying after that oh, I've
seen it in both places.
I've seen it when it's like likewhen I lived in maryland, snow
was lit Because it would lookcrazy, it would look so cool,
and that was very nice In NewYork.

(03:08):
After a while it starts to getannoying.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
So I respect that.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I share that opinion.
It takes too long.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Does dirt brown snow everywhere?
New York is just a dirty place.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
To be honest, it is 100% yeah.
We're probably like 3 inchesfrom acid rain.
You're just cooking.
Yeah, yeah, we're probably likethree inches from acid rain.
You're just oh, geez, all right.
So yeah, how have you been?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
You good, I'm good bro.
You know I can't complain.
Just another day.
We also got the question oflast two weeks, or our last two
episodes?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
that's been the same question.
Yeah, yeah, we're just gonna.
Let's just get straight into it, bro we got.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
You know the vibes, I know how it is.
So the question of the episodefrom again last episode what's
your favorite manga panel thatgot animated and what's your
favorite anime scene?
And or, or, and, or, and, an,or Whichever one you know how

(04:21):
sometimes.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Arr, I'm sorry, my brain just did a backflip
because something happened in myperipheral vision.
You want to start it off?
Yeah, I'll kick it off.
Well, I got a couple One fromSaif, oh OK, and one from Brian.
I'll start with Brian because Ilike Brian.
I feel like everybody's goingto be able to relate to Brian's

(04:43):
because you know, we're all Idon't want to say we're all
roughly the same age, but in ourfriend group we are, so we all
kind of experience things at thesame time.
His favorite is when Lee foughtGaara in the tuning exam.
It was one of his first timesexperiencing manga and then,

(05:04):
like the next year, joint gotanimated and we all remember
what a show Lee vs Gar was.
So yeah, I think that's apretty clean pick.
I'm just saying, bro, watchinghim drop the weights and then
boom.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yep, hold my weights.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Hey bro, hold my beer brother.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Drunken Fizzly was good too, though, with the fight
against.
What was his name?
Was it Kimi Maru?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
See, I wasn't reading Naruto at that time, so I don't
even know.
I didn't start reading mangauntil I was in like 11th, nope,
10th grade, damn bro.
Yeah, to be fair, that was likemy fourth year in America.
I hadn't even had made likefriends friends yet.

(05:56):
Yeah, yeah, I was in a library,found some manga in the section
I was reading a bunch of stuff,bro, that was in the library.
Yeah, like school library oryeah, like all my lunch breaks I
wouldn't really hang out in thelunchroom.
I had friends that I know whatI said I mean, I had friends, no
friends.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
He ain't no friends.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
He's lying to y'all shout out to my high school
friends.
Shout out to my high schoolfriends Jonathan, sasha, aj, oya
, y'all cool as hell.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, anyway.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Anyway, yeah, I used to go up there to like Go on the
computers and stuff, because Ididn't have a computer at home.
So I used to do all my mangareading, research, all that
stuff up there.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
When you first said it like that, you had me
thinking that like they justactually had like a fucking
shonen jump up in there.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
No, no, no, no, no, there was On a computer.
No, they had a section formanga they did.
Yeah, damn my high school wasweird, bro, my high school was
weird.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean hey at least we had a library in your high
school.
Mine's didn't, don't worry useit Would have been used for
other things, though, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
That is fair, yo.
The dots just said oh my god,yeah, no point is 10th grade, I
think.
Uh, actually, I'll give you oneof mine, because this was
actually really fire.
Very, I wasn't gonna plan tolike use this one personally,

(07:40):
but it's related to the story,so I'll just drop it.
Uh, one of mine is when narutosaw hinata get packed and
thought she was dead oh, when hewas fighting open pain yes, I
remember reading this in thelibrary, seeing the reaction,
seeing the transformation, andthen coming back the next week

(08:01):
because I think it was acliffhanger and it was just the
orb joint shooting in the air inthe manga for like the last
page or so and then the nextweek I was back there and then
when it got animated, I was likethat was my first experience
with sakuga and I was just likejesus, this is glorious.
And then years later peoplewere like this is so such bad

(08:23):
animation.
I'm like what were you see?
Did you see how his face didthe thing?
And it was like stretching.
I'm like, oh my god, this isway cool in the manga man pain
was looking cartoonish he waslooking cartoonish.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
I actually really liked the animation personally
but those freeze frames man,they was not giving him any
justice nah man, he became ameme and it's okay no pain no
pain, yeah, no pain, all rightall right what you got this
comes from dg, but he said, um,to be fair, chainsaw man has a

(08:57):
lot of panels, and I agreethat's actually one of the
things I was bringing up.
But this, what I'm bringingabout with Chainsaw man,
technically isn't animated yet,though, but it's good though.
What he says, though, is hisrecent buy and see is going over
to Dandodon.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh, wait, he watched it.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Well, no, this is talking about manga panels,
because he's been reading itlately, did you?
I'm going to fight you.
You didn't even answer thequestion.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Bo.
No, this is talking about mangapanels, because he's been
reading it lately Did you, I'mgoing to fight you.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
You didn't even answer the question he did, he
did.
He actually put down a bunch ofstuff, but his main one that he
was going with was AlphonseFull Metal.
Alphonse fighting Ooh, hold on,he was fighting what you call
it.
Another one he was fighting umwhat you call it.
Another one one was alphonsefight, but he was also pointed

(09:49):
out the mustang versus lust Inever read full metal.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
He just made me want to read full metal, because that
is what made me watch fullmetal what mustang?

Speaker 1 (10:01):
versus lust?

Speaker 2 (10:02):
yes, no, not lust.
Envy versus envy.
Yeah, the walk down made mewatch full metal with the snap.
That was actually my firstexperience with full metal
mustang versus lust the snappingI was like oh man, hit her with
that snap crackle pop.
That's crazy that was a goodone.
That one did definitely lookvery nasty in the anime yeah,

(10:25):
nah, it was crazy I can'timagine in the manga seared
flesh.
I wonder what his art style islike well, her, her.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, you didn't know nope, no clue yeah, nah, the
creator is a woman I'm not gonnahold you.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
I never know who's a woman from a man when it comes
to this stuff ah, you just beknowing um, you just don't be
knowing I know the names, don'tknow their faces.
Also some japanese names Ican't tell uh unisex with it.
Yeah, because some of them youwill like have the same name,
but one for a boy, one for Ijust don't make assumptions and

(11:01):
I just enjoyed it and I know whowrote it.
When it comes time for me tolook it up, I'll look it up
another one.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
This comes from him, though, but it was a funny scene
of chainsaw man with um and I'mgonna post this up in the um.
Sorry, excuse me.
I'm gonna post this up on thesocials because he posted it,
but just for the listeners, sothat way they can um, just at
least get a picture.
But it's pretty much chainsawman holding a cat, and he's like
it was a cat too dude.

(11:30):
I would post it up for y'all,though, but pretty much just
chainsaw man holding up a cat Ican't even be mad at it.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
there's a so much of the simplest panels in Chainsaw
man just deserve all the budget.
I'm not going to lie.
There's one scene that I'mexpecting, and if it's not
animated like it's an actualmovie, I'm going to be so mad.
What's the scene?
The Aki by the door scene.

(12:02):
Oh Bro, what's the scene?
The?
Aki by the door scene.
Bro.
If that joint ain't the mostsuspenseful crazy animation, I'm
going to be so mad.
I'm going to be so mad bro.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
I already have like several shots or several scenes
that I would like to seeanimated from.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Chainsaw Bro.
This reason a movie is going tobe so good too it is.
So good.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Also just the simple fact that it's a movie is going
to be so good too.
It is so good Also just thesimple fact that it's a movie,
so you already know Mappas goingto throw.
Budget at that.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
I like Chainsaw man, you couldn't tell.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Very confused right now, but I like Chainsaw man.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
In the manga, just in general reading chainsaw man,
just generally confused I thinkthat's the crazy part is
chainsaw man.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Would definitely have you confused genuinely confused
, genuinely confused um but it'snot a taxi mood um taxi mojo of
work, if you're not confused.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Scratching your head, bro, scratching your head.
The other one, saif, is alsofrom Naruto.
I should have probablymentioned this.
The reason Brian startedreading manga is because of Saif
.
So Saif was, and I totallyagree with this.
I personally, personally, ifyou made me make a list of

(13:23):
fights in anime in general- topfive or top three?

Speaker 1 (13:28):
top two oh damn, yes, okay kakashi versus obito in
the war I don't recall how itlooked in the manga with it,
though, but I will agree thatthe anime choreography for it
was the crack bro, sospectacular, so spectacular.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
The callbacks, the choreography, the speed, the
lighting, bro, it was just sogood, really messed with it, and
it brought so much to thecharacterization of the
characters.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
You really felt the emotions yeah, um, they didn't
have any sound playing otherthan like the fizz being
exchanged on.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Um, and it was an animated scene, right yeah, very
similar to when, uh, near theconclusion of naruto and
sasuke's fight, where it wasjust sound effects there's no
talking, there's no dialogue,maybe a little grunting, maybe a
little grunting, but besidesthat, nothing else.
Um, and it was just clean, bro.
I agree with you, saif, that oneis a1, um, the one I was gonna

(14:35):
choose, and if you know me, youprobably already know this
answer already I think I knowwhere this is going I don't want
to embarrass you in case youdon't know, so I won't ask you
to guess, but it is from Ennie'sLobby, and if you disagree with
me and you're a One Piece fan,you are fake Fake.
I still don't think this momenthas been topped in One Piece.

(14:57):
I want to live At all.
This made her one of myfavorite One Piece characters.
Yes, I want to live, I want tolive, I want to live.
Moment at the top of Eni'slobby Shoot that flag down
sniper.
The only time I like thisbastard is when he's wearing
that mask.
Damn, and he's all bastard.

(15:17):
I said what I said.
Usopp just needs to be Sniper.
King is what you're saying.
He needs to work it out.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Once he works it out you'll get some love from me,
maybe in this new arc, maybe Idon't know.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I think that's why I'm so agitated, bro Arc, just
you know what.
God forgive me.
I'm going to stop Anyway, yeah,but no that moment.
Also, you know what I don'tthink anything else is really
touching my spirit.
Nothing else is really touchingmy spirit, man.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
I mean, hey, that's fair.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Damn.
Please Animate something thattouches my spirit.
The way I want to live touchesmy spirit.
Somebody I want to live.
Somebody Make me feel something.
To be fair, if I'd probablyread your lie in april before
watching it, I'd probably beweeping like a baby but you
think that would translate well.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Um, if you were to read it first, bro.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I love slice of life manga.
I've spent whole nights readinglike 60 chapters of a joint.
You know, my dress-up darling,hit my feet and I was just like
crazy and I was waiting foreverto get the last four chapters.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
So that's what I'm at .
Wait a minute.
It's over with Nope, it's notover.
So wait a minute.
Which like is it even in itsfinal stage?
It?

Speaker 2 (16:35):
is hitting the end, don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
I'm not going to be too specific, but it's getting
near the climax.
Okay, okay, yep, yep, yep, alittle disappointed, but you
know, oh, that's his life, damn,yeah, uh, anyway, uh, what's
yours?

Speaker 1 (16:52):
levi versus kenny and his squad.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
This is like um on season three, part one no, I
know which one you're talkingabout, I just never read attack
on time yeah, I read near theend to see if I can get the
understanding that I needed.
I feel a little bit better.
Still very confused, but feel alittle bit better.
Feel a little bit better.

(17:17):
That is a good one, though.
That boy, levi, was vicious tobe fair.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Levi on the screen is always going to be cold.
It is absolutely cold.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Oh, you know what?
What I got to show some loveMugetsu, mugetsu, the final
Getsu Gaten show.
Actually, that whole thing,that whole thing, that whole
thing.
I remember reading that joint Ididn't watch bleach.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Near the end I read it.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Obviously you know you can skip most of it, you can
skip most of the end and justgo to the part where he comes
back from the I forgot that.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Um, I forgot what it's called.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, it's like the in-between realm between soul
society did all the lasttraining arc.
Yeah, bro, I'm just going toput it out there.
I have not felt as hype forsomething as when he said, yeah,
no, we're not doing this here.
Bro, now I'm not down.
Grab that grown man by the face.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
I was like hold on.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
He was like I can't even sense your Put me down my
legs.
I'm a grown man.
You can't have me swinging mylegs like this crazy.
Yeah, that whole final thingwas crazy, the whole like oh,
you think that's your sword?
No, no, no, no, that was me.
That mountain blowing up, thatwas me.

(18:43):
You ain't got the juice, youain't got the sauce.
It was good.
I think that's the other one Iwould pick.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
I think it's criminal , mainly because this didn't get
animated, but I think if it gotanimated it would go hard.
Um, this is from Soul Eater,though, but the trio versus um,
damn what?
The um, jin Keishin, keishin.
Yeah, seeing the fact that wealready got that Fist of Bravery

(19:11):
, nonsense, crap, they killed it.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
I don't even want to talk about this.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
I think this year was like the 25th anniversary of
the manga, a lot of people werehype, expecting a brotherhood
thing just remake it bro at thispoint.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
They should, everybody wants it fire forces
ending.
You made the ties, just redo it.
We love you for it because welike soul eater.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Soul eater was cracked as hell.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh man, they dropped that there were so many likable
characters in that joint, bro.
Unfortunately, Excalibur is oneof them.
I said it.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Excalibur.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Oh man, that was a good show though.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
It was Damn man, damn man Just blew up.
But yeah, if they did ever, ifwe ever get like a Brotherhood
up-to-date version of that, thatwould be dope to see that fight
Everybody going into madness,whooping ass.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
All right, so now that we got through the question
of the week, finally, it's beena minute though.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
It's been a minute yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Just let it happen.
Let it happen.
Let's transition into SpeedBlitz, because it's not as junky
as last time, but I feel likesome of the stuff is more
interesting.
Yeah, last time was definitelythe whole damn episode.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Probably shouldn't have called that a Speed Blitz.
At that point I like nah.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
I think we made this joke with the Blitz.
I like it.
That might be the new name.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
But this one, the list, is a little bit light this
time around.
We got a whole bunch of newsbetween now and then that had
happened.
Apparently, power World isbeing sued by Nintendo.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Light but controversial.
Not gonna lie, I'm a littleupset about this personally.
But a free, free power, bro,free power, i'ma play it, just
don't shut down the servers.
Nintendo, like, take a littlebit of the pockets, not all the
pockets, all right, before we gooff on a tangent, let me just

(21:23):
explain what's going on yes, goon.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
What they're getting sued for all right.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
So everybody on the expectation when power came out
was nintendo's gonna come afteryou.
Why?
Because the joke was lucario.
What was the name of that?
Joint anubis?
Is that actually the name?
That's the name.
The last creativity is crazy.
They put all their eggs intothe basket of guns and I love it
, very American.
Sign me up for more.
No, but that was basically therunning joke, right?

(21:52):
Mm-hmm, nintendo had no groundsPokemon with guns.
Exactly.
Nintendo had no grounds to doanything about that.
Everybody knew that Peoplewould just love making the joke,
which is fine.
But what Nintendo does have thegrounds to do is sue for
patents, and unfortunately, theyhave patents on the capture
system, the base of the capturesystem that is used in pokemon,

(22:14):
as well as the uh surf fly thatmechanic, the whole riding your
pokemon mechanic.
Yeah, there's a patent on thattoo.
I'm not sure which one of thesehappened first, but fact check
me if you like it.
I don't care, that's fine.

(22:34):
That's what we're here forsharing knowledge.
Teach me something if I don'tknow something, but from what I
read, uh, the one of the patentsfrom 2022, which is fairly
recent, but pre-development ofpower world.
Now, another of the patentsagain I don't know which one
this is was in 2024.
Now, that may be the one thatthey can't really get away with,

(23:00):
but I feel like the 2022 one'sprobably going to cost them
something.
They may have to, and usually,what this happened, what this
turns out to be, it's not like ashutdown of the game.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
They might have to just change up how the mechanic
of it is.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Exactly, which is kind of shaky for a game like
Palo Alto because it's somechanic dependent.
If they remove the cap, I thinkthe capture mechanic that's the
one I would bet is the one from2022, because it's the more
critical to the gameplay.
I think if that gets hit, powerWorld kind of loses its

(23:31):
identity in a way and they haveto find a way to not take out a
mechanic but introduce acompletely new mechanic of how
to capture creatures, which willrequire overhaul of the game,
which could kill the game,because that would cost a
significant amount of money.
I mean, yeah, costly.
You're going to be paying forthe lawsuit, you're going to be

(23:52):
paying for the legal bills andthen you're going to be paying
to change the game.
Stuff like this can kill games,which is the big problem that
people are having with this.
Now.
There's a huge emphasis onintellectual property in Japan
and ownership of intellectualproperty, which is why I think
this is such a big deal forNintendo to go out and make the

(24:13):
efforts to sue the developers ofPalworld.
Inverse to that is the ideathat sharing knowledge, sharing
ideas, is integral to developinga space yeah, this space being

(24:33):
the gaming space, not gamers,but developers.
Let's be real here.
Pokemon has cornered the marketfor decades, literally Decades.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
I think what anniversary do they have?
You know what?
20, maybe the 25th, bro, I'mthinking.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Decades, no one has ever really made a game like
Pokemon.
This is the first realiteration of it.
It's been so dominant.
Their patent on their capturemechanic again I'm assuming it's
a capture mechanic because thismakes the been so dominant.
Their patent on their capturemechanic again I'm assuming it's
a capture mechanic because thismakes the most sense.
Their patent on the capturemechanic likely was the 2022
patent, like it's madly in thegame for you to do that my bet

(25:18):
is they probably heard aboutpower world's development and
the power people.
probably had to clear it withthem because of the nature of
the game before startingdevelopment and when that
happened they said, alright,we're going to patent this.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, I mean, ever since Power had dropped,
nintendo's been looking forsomething to get them with for
the longest.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
So it's like Feels petty.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Oh it 100% is.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Feels very Bad.
I don't know what other word Icould use to describe it.
It's bad on many, many levels.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
It's not too far from what Nintendo always do, though
Nintendo is prettyanti-consumerist.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah, it is their MO.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
They have like good games and stuff for the family
though, but Nintendo don't careabout the consumers for the most
part with some of this stuff.
When it comes to a lot of theirstuff, they're quick to get you
up and out of there real quick.
The Smash community knows itall too well.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
I'm surprised Smash is ending.
Personally, I know you guysexplained it to me.
He's been doing it for a longtime.
He's sick of it, but thatdefinitely did surprise me.
I don't know why I wasexpecting a new Smash game to
launch the Switch 2 or something.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Everybody do.
Hey, we can all dream.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, that is fair, that is fair.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Plus, I don't even know how he would even beat this
one.
Literally almost everybody andtheir moms is there.
Not everybody, though, but damnJust about.
You know what?

Speaker 2 (26:49):
he should do?
What Put Anubis in that joint?

Speaker 1 (26:56):
I would definitely play me some Super Smash with.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Anubis in it, from Power World Back a gun out.
Oh man, just start shooting.
Pikachu, I need it now.
Charizard, where you going?
Sakura, let's get it done.
Everybody, I got a gat.
What's up?
All right, there's also well,gaming seems to be high on the
agenda right now?
Yeah, the state of play.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
What was that?
That was on Thursday.
Yeah, today, friday, that was.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Wednesday.
It was wednesday, yeah, I thinkit was like the 24th or
something like that.
Well, semantics doesn't reallymatter that much at this point,
the dates are blending yeah,short stated state of play.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
I think it was like uh, probably somewhere between
like 20 and 30 minutes um isn'tit always usually short, though
they don't usually like usuallykeep it on for like longer than
an hour.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
I don't even think they usually hit an hour I
didn't expect an hour, but Iexpected it to be a little
longer, considering the time ofyear that we're in yeah and some
what like game awards arecoming up, tokyo game shows
coming up.
Usually there's a lot toannounce this time of year, um,
so I thought maybe it'd be alonger state of play, with
teasers for things that theywould show full trailers for at

(28:12):
tokyo game show or the gameawards.
But sorry, but it just seemedto be a regular run-of-the-mill
state of play.
The most significant one wasthe ghost of yotei oh, I cannot
wait it looks like a theatricaltrailer.

(28:33):
You know neckbeards are upsetthat she's a woman, right I
wasn't even gonna address itbecause, quite frankly, I don't
care.
I, to be honest, giving theseidiots a voice is very toxic,
very, very toxic women.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Did they drop the year next year for it?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
right, yes, 2025 yes, let's go yeah, so this is the
thing that I guess is the onlything that we got a teaser for,
that I'm expecting, like fullgameplay stuff for at tokyo game
show or at the game awardsmaybe the game awards I'm
thinking more.
The game awards that seems tobe the place to do it now that
more the speed e3 is dead.

(29:08):
Well, has been dead, yeah, butyeah, there was that.
There was also um what the heckwas it called arc age arc age
chronicles or saga or somethingchronicles.
I don't trust ign.
They have it listed as a soulslike.
Doesn't really look like asouls like.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Looks very I think that's the most annoying part of
this whole thing everybodyswears every game is souls like
I blame ign.
I'm not even gonna blame eldenring, even though it's totally
oh no, it's not elden rings wall, it's not souls, it's idiots
fault and pretty much idiotgaming network.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
That's what they're called now ign.
I said what I said, but um,that looked really good,
interesting.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
I don't even know what kind of game it is.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
It um it was just the trailer.
The trailer didn't show any ui,so I can't tell what style of
game it is, but my guess is thatit's gonna be kind.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Kind of like God of War action-adventure type beat.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Crazy thing?
Obviously, bosses Crazy thing.
I'm thinking it's going to besomewhere between that and an
RPG, like a straight-up RPG withpotentially classes, because
from the trailer I saw multipledifferent combat styles magic
melee, different builds forcharacters, not like gear, gear

(30:28):
and stuff, but builds is in likephysical stature.
So I'm guessing there's goingto be some level of
customization.
Either that or you're going tobe playing as multiple
characters, which is also veryinteresting, which in that case
I would expect there to bedifferent skill trees, stuff
like that.
So it definitely seems like itwould lean in the direction of
being more action rpg focused,as opposed to being what it's

(30:52):
weirdly being classified as asouls like.
I feel like you see somebodyswing a sword at something.
That's also swinging a sword orusing magic as a souls like, but
whatever just the boss.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Being um two feet taller than he was enough to be
called a Souls-like apparently.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yes.
The surprise of that joint,though, was Wilds, monster
Hunter Wilds.
Everybody has been taking betsto see where the flagship would
be announced.
People were saying Tokyo GameShow, the Game Awards.
Who would have thought it wouldbe a PlayStation State of Play?
You still haven't seen him,have you?
I still have not seen it.

(31:27):
No, you need to go, look at him.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
He's beautiful.
The only important thing that Ineeded to know February,
february 28th Facts.
That's the only important thingI really needed.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yo, so is Sony and Capcom trying to like.
I don't know, why are wegetting the flagship, the
release date, in a sony state ofI'm not used to this, I'm just
not, oh no it's just capcom I'mused to capcom releasing their
own stuff, so it it caught meoff guard, let's put it that way

(31:57):
, but it's.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
It looks very interesting and I mean it makes
sense to um drop it during apress like State of Play, since
the State of Play is what firstbefore the Tokyo game thing that
they got going on.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Right now Tokyo game show is not far, though I think
it's a Sometime early October.
I might be beefing on that.
I got to look it up.
We'll put something on thesocial media about it.
But, um, the flagship releasedate, all that stuff just wasn't
expected.
They had a pretty sizable chunkof the experience and then they

(32:41):
dropped more gameplay footagealong with some intro stuff for
the beginner hunters to teachthem get acclimated to the game.
It was pretty extensive forwhat it was for Monster Hunter
Wild, so it was definitely asurprise, but also a nice one,
I'll say that much.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
It's like lots of Sony titles.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Mm.
Hmm, I know Tyler is hype,though he finally got his Legacy
of Kain.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Oh yeah, that too.
I've never played Legacy ofKain.
It's a remake, right.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Remaster, yeah, remaster.
Yeah the first two.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
What console was that ?

Speaker 1 (33:18):
PlayStation 2.
Oh, that's old, no, no.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
PlayStation.
Oh, that's old, old, yeah, Ilove.
Oh, that's old, old, yeah, Ilove that for you guys.
I love that for you guys.
Finally, good, yeah, even uhand uh.
They went.
Look at that.
You were saying horizon, right,oh, what horizon.
Zero dawn is getting a remaster, not a remake.
Man, what updates for the ps5that are supposed to make the

(33:45):
graphics and stuff I'm not gonnahold you.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
That's just news for me align with uh, part two.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
I personally not buying it.
I've played the game a coupleof times.
It's not for us.
That's the way I'm looking atit.
If you're new to gaming and you, let's say, you're somebody
younger, you got a playstation 5recently.
You've never played horizonzero dawn all you got's two on
your PlayStation 5.
That's a PlayStation 5 game.
You're going to gravitatetowards that and you'll probably
want to play the first onebecause the story is so intense.

(34:13):
So it doesn't really.
I'm not mad about it.
I'm snoozing.
I'm not mad about it.
It's not something I'm going topick up because I don't need it
.
I'm not mad about it also theyseem to be trending in the
direction where these remakesare put for free on.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
That's after like um, a couple of, yeah, like a year
or so down the line from it,though it's not like they
actually it's not even they'redropping out on release for um
for people to get for free noteven last of us is free now.
They just did the ps5 remake now, that's been out for a minute,
though that's not like new, newor recent, recent the ps5 remake
of the last of us, wait last ofus yeah, because, like last of

(34:57):
us, had about like three or fourdamn near remakes or remasters
yeah, yeah, that, that well,that's what I'm trying to get at
they also had a remaster of thesecond one, which was
unnecessary considering thatthat was already out.
On the five, that is one youshould be mad about.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
I'm just mad at it in general, yeah, but they they do
a decent amount, but it'sreally I don't mind it because
it updates the game to matchwith the hardware so that people
can play the older games,because I get very frustrated
playing those PlayStationclassics.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
If it's on PlayStation, if we're getting a
remake for a PS5 game onPlayStation 6, all right, cool,
whatever.
But if it's already on the PS5and it's getting a remaster,
that's a waste.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
That didn't make any sense to me.
Unless you're making actualchanges that you wanted to make
to the game, which they never do, honestly, yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
The Last of us is usually always the same game
just updated.
Give me another freaking umuncharted dynasty warriors, I
haven't played a dynastywarriors game in a minute, but
I'll be hype, hype for what it's.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Look, bro, it's.
You're gonna be mashing squarefor 10 hours that's the
experience, bro.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Games like that, dynasty Warriors, samurai Wars
that's the experience man.
It's garbage.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Let the franchise die .
Find something else.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
They gave us a what you call it Rebrand yourself.
They gave us a Legend of Zelda,one which was dope.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
But Legend of Zelda is not usually a Musou.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
But they gave us a Musou Legend of Zelda and it was
gas.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
That's fine.
That's something that's notusually a Musou.
This thing releases the sameway since the PlayStation 2.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
I also think that this one they got you doing like
a new character altogether.
I don't think the character hasany historical background or
anything.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
I don't know None of their names.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Damn bro.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
None of their names, and I could care less.
Dong Ning Nope.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
I'm not even going to bring up names.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
I'm just going to be sitting here like mm-mm shaking
my head.
Nope, mm-mm.
Nope, not with me, nope.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
I do remember that they had sorry.
I Nope that what I mean?
Nope, I do remember that theyhad sorry.
I do remember that they had oneDynasty Warriors game.
I can't remember the name of it.
I think it came out on like thePSP and it was like them pretty
much going Super Saiyan andshit.
Like Lubu was on top of ademonic cat.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
I'm solid, bro.
You're wasting my time.
You're wasting my time.
You're throwing pretty colorson the same thing over and over
again.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Oh, no, no, no Like they was actually having like
Sentai, like Power Rangerstransformations type stuff.
It was kind of crazy.
Pretty colors.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Because you still, at the end of the day, mashed box.
You mashed the square buttonfor dear life.
Let me stop ragging on DynastyWarriors, but this was in the
state of play.
That's why I'm so mad, you knowwhat I mean?

Speaker 1 (37:50):
the state of play was solid till I saw that it
aggravated me, I just skippedthrough it on.
So wait a minute.
Are you saying that you washyped for?

Speaker 2 (37:53):
uh, horizon zero dawn , lego collection oh no, I
didn't care about that.
I didn't care about any of thehorizon related news.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Unless they said horizon three, I was like, okay,
whatever no, we're not gonnaget a three sony's, too busy
milking one and two I think it'sin preparation for three.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
It's already been what?
Two years since the last onewatch.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Has it been?
Has um?
Has two actually been out fortwo years now?

Speaker 2 (38:17):
yeah, probably about.
So it's been a while, been awhile and they and they
announced the development ofthree like they did, truly yeah
see, I haven't played two so itI don't think it's far away and
it is not a.
It's not a.
It's not random that part onegets a remaster for playstation

(38:39):
5.
It's not random.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
It's not necessary.
Though there's a is is thepoint, it's not necessary, it's
not needed I would disagree.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
I think it is needed, particularly for newer people.
That's the only reason, and I'mnot gonna buy it, so I don't
really care that much.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
This, though, segues into your biggest gripe what the
pro, also the reason I thinkhorizon is coming man, I saw I
ain't gonna lie, I'm sleeping ona pro bro.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
I slept on pro.
I am still sleeping on pro aswell.
I'm snoozing on it.
I feel like if you have aPlayStation five, unless you're
doing breaks, there's no reasonfor you to buy it.
Like at all.
No need Like at all Like it.
It's no need like at all likeit.

(39:30):
It's a faster console, it's gotbetter graphics, but it's not
like it's gonna revolutionizeyour gameplay experience.
You know what I mean, unlessyou just exactly it's not like.
If you don't have one.
Yeah, you would probably bebetter off getting this if you
already have one shut up yeah, Imean like if you just have a p4
, then yeah, but yeah, just like, yes, like, keep playing your

(39:50):
video games or just get the ps5,because I think the ps5 is
cheaper than it.
Right, it probably is this willprobably push the price for the
ps5 down even more.
So it's not like there's a lotof implications for it, do I
think it was?
It's like worth the price point.
The price point's aggressive,but that's probably not sony's
fault all the way.
It's an expensive console.

(40:12):
To make less inflation,everything's more expensive.
I think this is very aggressive, though 700 for a console is
kind of wild at that point, justget a pc why you want me
financing my console.
I used to pay like 450450 forthis joint Help.
I'm about to be treatingconsoles like cell phones.
We have to get a Sony plan.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Nah, if you ever get to that territory, bro, t-sony
bro On PC.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
T-Sony.
We buying up all the carriers.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Sony you do that shit , bro, you do that shit.
Don you do that shit, bro, youdo that shit.
Don't do that shit goingstraight over the pc all right?

Speaker 2 (40:54):
so yeah, not the longest one, but some
interesting.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Oh, you got something else you forgot about the
collab bro what collab overwatchand my hero?
Oh yeah, I did forget aboutthat honestly, the only time I
may spend um blizzard may getmoney from me it's only when
there's a reinhardt skin damnman reinhardt actually gets some
good ass skins that all mightskin for soldier skin is lit.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
I have to get it because I have all of them, but
you know, that's just fine.
That's just fine Like he gotthe one recently with the the
wolf ice robbery one.
Got that bling bling in hisears.
He got a little man bun.
He got a wolf mask on with abag of cash on his back.
Why wouldn't I buy that?
Take my money, blizzard, justfor now.

(41:44):
I'm, you know, I'm definitelyinvesting in this.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Don't make no more collabs, though, because I'm
truly not trying to give you anymore money, though, for real.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
I don't mind anymore.
See, that's you.
I think they're doing okay.
They're satisfying my needs asa player for now.
So, yeah, I'll reward you Fornow.
For now, oh, oh, the funniestpart though.
What?
Juno got a skin before thechiptooth bitch.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
What's the chiptooth one?

Speaker 2 (42:16):
named again Venture.
They dropped her in the gameand just dropped her in the game
.
They're not going to give herno skin.
I think her hero popularity isprobably really low.
They were like, do we want tomake a skin for her?

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Juno's going to be the new Tracer anyway, so Juno's
going to definitely get skins.
Chipmunk Tooth, girl Venture,you said.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
She ain't getting none bro.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
She'll be lucky to get Battle Pass skins.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
That's rude.
That's rude.
The battle pass skins are toocool for her, though.
That's facts.
Um, that was pretty cool,though.
Mm-hmm, deku Tracer justdoesn't sit well in my spirit
though it don't.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Who could they have given Deku to?
Doomfist, let me stop actuallyI'm surprised Doomfist, Let me
stop.
Actually I'm surprised Doomfistdidn't get all might.
Put the green no.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
No, no, there's a perfectly good.
There's a perfectly good, superbrolic blonde man in the game
already he was right there.
Leave him alone.
Ryan deserves that.
You know what?

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Doomfist needed the Deku wig.
Nah, he needed a Miracle Skin.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
No, what's the rule about?
What's the porn rule on this?

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Damn.
Stop giving Doomfist skins.
You're just encouraging peopleto play him.
Stop, he needs.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
He gets too many skins nah, you don't get too
many skins, you don't get enough.
I'm not fighting with you onthis.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
You don't even play the game.
Look, he don't get enough newyear's resolution.
I ain't fighting with nobody,you know.
Yeah, you're right, yeah surehe gets skins.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Yeah, he gets.
Not like reinhardt, though.
New Year's resolution I ain'tfighting with nobody, you know.
Yeah, you're right.
Sure he gets skins.
Yeah, not like Reinhardt,though, or Tracer.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Or Reaper.
Reaper gets all the skins whenYou're listing off all the
characters I like except Tracer,right, he's not Soldier 76.
Leave me alone.
You don't even get that many.
No more, bro, but let me havethis.
He's not Soldier 76.
Leave me alone.
You don't even get that many.
No more, bro, but let me havethis.
He's not Kiriko.
Her skins are so cool.
See, her skins are fire though.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
He's not like Genji, or See, he don't get enough
skins.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
He has a.
I'm not arguing with you aboutthis.
You know what?
Fuck this.
It's been a mid-ass summer.
Before that, though, I amwaiting, and it better not be
Doomfist related.

(45:00):
Nah, nah, nah.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
But have you heard about that indie publisher
though Annapurna?
What is that?
They are a publisher and theypublish a bunch of indie games.
Love Mayor, it happens, I'msorry.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
This man patting his head over here, like I thought
bro, oh, why'd I do it to Overhere?
Over here, copying man, hey,hey, I was just demonstrating to
who.
Myself, yo all right, whatabout this publisher?
Anyway, the whole entire staffquit, Alright.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
What about this publisher?

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Anyway, the whole entire staff quit, oh, they quit
, yeah, so yeah, Y'all hadlaying people off.
They said nah, I'm out.
Y'all can do this by yourself.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
I think the reason they all left, though, was it
was like a dispute or somethingwith the leadership that they
had.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Oh, what else could it be?
Yeah, you got people passionateabout creating a product that
they love, and then you gotpeople trying to make the
product make money.
I don't see where thedisconnect could go from.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Yo oh jesus it's been a very rough year for tech
gaming.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
All that yeah, all those.
Uh, man covid really jackedeverything up, bro.
It made the market move in sucha weird direction for
everything food, betweeninflation and how it's affecting
like employment and all thejobs that came up that are now
not necessary because we're backto doing the things that we're

(46:51):
doing.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Damn he may just be cooked for real, bro, the lack
of like.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
Let's be real here.
Video games were booming incovid, why everybody was locked
down.
Now nobody's really locked down.
Ain't nobody buying that muchvideo games.
All that staff for developmentgotta go somewhere.
Welcome to the unemploymentmarket.
This isn't funny, by the way no, it's, it's been crazy it's.

(47:17):
I'm laughing because I'm indanger yeah, I think that's the
best way to sum it up.
It it really makes you wonder,bro, like what value do you
really hold as an employee?
Like for not even being any.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
It's even worse now with all this other stuff too.
About ai, I think, like justthe other day, um, or maybe like
a couple of weeks back, I think, the lion's gate had finally
inked off about using AI, voice,ai for voice acting and stuff
like that and it's just like, orlike they signed with I can't
remember the company, though,but they signed to use pretty

(47:55):
much AI for like all theirlibrary and stuff like that, for
the voices and stuff, so it'sjust like cook it's really
become voice actors from gamingside and dealing with that whole
stuff.
Sag over there going back overafter the whole strike with
writers and actors and stuff.
Then they going right back overand saying, yeah, nah, cool,

(48:17):
you can use AI for a voice actand that's pretty fine.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
It's really easy when things like this happen mass
layoffs, changes in the market,changes in the economy to just
chalk it up to one thing.
But on a macro level, it'snever just one thing.
All these things play a part init, you know what I mean.
And the ease of getting thingsdone technology wise.

(48:42):
Now it really has donesomething to the demand for jobs
in a lot of industries and wecan't just straight up parse
blame out some, some people who,some companies are marketing
because they're forced to docertain things.

(49:02):
Now you know what I mean, likethe patterns of releases, like
how much things are costing.
It's all just a consequence oflife.
So, god damn, I really am justbecoming very jaded I just don't
care.
You know what I mean, I just Irealized that it just is what it
is.

(49:22):
It just is what it is like.
It just is what it is Like.
So many people have been laidoff, so many people Like, I
think, at this point, hundredsof thousands of people in the
gaming industry have been laidoff.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
It's not even just the gaming.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
No, I'm talking specifically about gaming right
now.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Hundreds of thousands of people have been laid off.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
And that's just in gaming.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Tech Probably significantly worse because a
lot of these companies wereusing stay-at-home workers.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
It was mad startups.
And now look at the startups,let alone.
Not even just startups, justeven big companies Microsoft.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Just kicking people out your company.
They can't pay people anymore,bro.
They just can't.
They don't need people forcertain things.
They don't have jobs for people, and it's not because they
don't want to have jobs forpeople.
Man, this shit is so terrible yo, if you, if you went back in
time to when covid was going onand the, you saw the projections
for these gaming.
I've looked at the research.

(50:19):
I can't, like I'm not gonna beable to like quote things and
cite things to you, but theprojections during covid it
doesn't seem that they took intoaccount the impact covid would
have once we come out.
I think the expectation was thedemand will always be there
because of the popularity ofgaming.
Yes, it'll be there, but kovidwas a very unique experience and

(50:41):
this is the consequence of it.
Like, genuinely, this is theconsequence of it.
We saw how it affected theavailability of consoles.
It's been what five years sincethe ps5 released uh, it's been
a five or four.
I'll be real, I don't it's beena while and it's only been like

(51:06):
so long, man it was like uh, itfeels almost like a blip bro and
it's um consoles are like a itfeels almost like a blip.
Bro and it's um consoles arerecently becoming readily
available.
Like within the last year and ahalf, you can go reliably go to
a store and grab something offthe shelf.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Now the reason why I think that pro decision is
stupid as fuck, though, butthat's just me right, neither
here nor there I'm not sayingit's a great decision.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
I'm just choosing to ignore it because it doesn't
affect me until it does and, tobe quite honest, even if my ps5
broke tomorrow, I'd probablyjust go buy another ps5 and bro,
you really are a cook bro, Ijust understand the reality of
it and I know what I want, Iknow what, what I need, and just

(51:51):
yeah, I think personally.
I think if we all thought likethis, we would low key,
pigeonhole companies into doingwhat we want.
But nobody thinks like thatbecause everybody goes and buys
a shiny new thing, which iswhat's going to happen with the
pro.
By the way, it's probably goingto be the best selling console,
I don't think is not but thatthey had that Sony.

(52:13):
Yes, the best-selling console, Idon't think is not, but that
they had that sony.
Yes, because of the price,because of how many units
they're gonna sell, because ofthe games that are coming out,
because of the bundles thatthey're gonna do for the games
and how, because the games thatthey're announcing this year are
crazy.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
I definitely think drones are 100, gonna buy that
yes, that's just what it is, bro.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
People complain about it, but I think yeah, I mean,
this is people's fault.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
I think it's, yeah it , it is what it is at this point
exactly.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
This is just cook, this is genuinely just the
consumer you see what you didmicrosoft.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
You see what you didn't yeah, they cooked
themselves, bro.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
That game pass was an epic failure, oh we now?
we're just stuck with both sonyand nintendo bro, this really
turned into a gaming episode,man bro, okay, I'm gonna say
something to you.
You might find thiscontroversial, right?
Xbox sold themselves becausethey wanted to be like sony and

(53:10):
they oversold themselves Becausemaking all those games free at
launch is a stupid decision.
I think Sony's model of howthey use the PlayStation Plus to
make exclusives availablepost-release like significantly
post-release for free, is a muchbetter model, because there are

(53:31):
people like me who will waitevery year because we know for a
fact the game is going to befree.
I have not paid for fifa inlike three years and it's a game
I play every year, despitebeing frustrated with it.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
That's fifa man.
Well, to be fair, that's likesports games always um.
Sports games always run likethat with um.
They just, they just usuallyrun like that.
They just usually run like that.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
Yeah, sony's leaned into it.
Their exclusives, theirsignificant ones, are on the PS
Plus Pass.
Once it gets to a good point,pass post-launch they put it on
there.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
But which tier though ?

Speaker 2 (54:11):
Because I don't think it's on the essential tier.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
I don't think it's like on the.
I don't think that matters, bro.
I don't think I mean like if Ithink it do matter, depending on
what area of um subscriptionthat you have.
If it's not on like on thereadily available, like the
easiest well, not easiest, butthe obvious lowest one, or
however way it is, then yeah,just like we'd have to need hell
no, I'm not putting it on thathell.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
No, if I make it, no hold on.
This is my perspective.
If I'm making a triple a game,an exclusive from my console,
and I'm still giving it to youfor free, pay for a higher than
average subscription I'll justwait for it on pc.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
You keep, it's gonna be better on pc.
Anyway, I get to mod thatthat's fine.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
I like that.
I think mods are really cool.
I think mods are important togaming because they generate
creativity.
I love that.
I am all for things releasingon PC post-launch, but I think
that's the same damn principle.
And then you go on PC and youbuy it.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
You pay a full price for it, not I, I.
And then you go on PC and youbuy it.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
You pay a full price for it, not I.
I wait for the sales, but it'slaunched at full price, mad
people pay for it at full price,right?

Speaker 1 (55:20):
I guess I'm pretty sure they do, though.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
We all going to have the PlayStation Plus
subscription.
The difference between the basepackage and the other one is a
few dollars a month If pay forthem yearly.
You, bro, if you're alreadypaying 100 bucks for the yearly
subscription, you're not gonnafeel this shit, monica, hey, you
know what.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Now I got beef with subscriptions in general there's
always supposed to be beef withsubscriptions.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Yo, the way I think about things is really
crack-headed, bro.
I hate subscriptions I just buysubscriptions I think we're not
getting away from subscriptions.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
We're not, we're not, we're cooked because every
everybody needs, not everybodyneeds descriptions.
Companies want to makeeverything a subscription it's
been made extremely convenient.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
You can't even front.
It's extremely convenient, likeridiculously convenient,
particularly for gaming.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
I think I'm going to go be a pirate.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
Live your best life, bro.
I encourage piracy.
If you can tell, I'm just free,I want to be free.
Whatever you want to do withyour gaming, whatever you like,
whatever you don't like, don'tlike it, don't love it Just be

(56:39):
free.
You want to do with your gamingwhatever you like, whatever you
don't like, don't like it,don't love it, just be free, go
like it, go love it.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
I said don't like it, I didn't mean that, go like it,
go love it, be free.
Okay, man, you know, when I getback home I want to actually
mod up my uh, my steam deck somemore.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
I could use more games on that and I look forward
to hearing you rant about theplaystation pro, bro.
I look forward to hearing yourant about the PlayStation Pro,
bro.
I look forward to hearing yourant about the PlayStation Pro.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
Sony ain't getting my money.
They're $70 damn plates.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
That's a fact, though .

Speaker 1 (57:06):
They smoking dick.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
The plates are kind of outrageous $75.
That's a whole controller,Speaking of which I need a
controller.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
Those colors for those controllers, I will admit.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
You saw the $4.91?
$4.91.
I'll show it to you later.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
We'll talk about it later.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Midsummer, you said.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
A mid-ass summer.
I committed to a lot of animethis summer.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
See, I told you, I told you, the summer was asleep.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
I tried, I gave it a shot and I'm a call somebody out
by me who are you calling, it'snot even the whole name.
No one remembers me.
I don't even remember you whenI tell you this was a
disappointment disappointmentthis was it even about, bro.

(57:56):
So I'm a geek of super sparknotes.
Dude lives in a world, lived ina world where humans conquered
the other, uh, celestial races.
Humans are the lower race,don't know how, haven't
explained it.
Yet they had someone who wassuper strong, named sid.
That's the first.
It's always a sid.
That's the first like oh my god, this is so dumb to me, kind of

(58:20):
a red flag in my head, but Iwatched it anyway.
So mysteriously, he getstransported to an alternate
version of his world where noone remembers him and humans
never won and sid is missingfrom this world.
I wonder, I sincerely wonder.
And no, I don't think he's sid,obviously from the.

(58:46):
Obviously sid's the villain,sid's the villain, and bored
more as you go.
The only reason I continue towatch this and I'm going to
finish it it was too invested.
I was hopeful it's not invested.
I was hopeful that it wouldpick up.
I thought, all right.

(59:06):
I saw the animation for thefirst major fight.
It looked like this joint wasreleased in like the 2010s.
Can't be that bad.
I'm gonna show it to you afterthis.
It looks like it was releasedin the 2010s, bro.
There's no fluidity.
There was a lot of use of likestill frames.
Um, the effects were notutilized properly.

(59:28):
I think this was a lower budgetanime than it was presented as,
and when it delivered it justwasn't what it was hyped up to
be.
Ouch, yeah, and the story isnot good enough to carry it.
It's a very standard harem.

(59:48):
It's a very standard.
I don't even want to call ittime loop, alternate dimension
hopping.
It's just some BS, somecelestial.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
BS Don't do anything, doesn't bring anything, no
substance.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
It doesn't feel fresh , nothing new with it, yeah, and
I feel like that was the themeof the whole summer season.
I think there were.
To me there were like threestandouts from the non-regular
stuff, like my Hero, fairy Tail,stuff like that.
Those are going to get watchedbecause those are long-running
series.
The standouts to me were Makine, which was A Slice of Life,

(01:00:27):
makine there are too many losingheroines.
I think that was the best thingI watched this season.
Damn.
Very, very good plot.
The characters are likable,some relatable.
The animation was exquisite,even for a slice of life.
The main character is highlyintelligent, I don't mean like

(01:00:52):
math book intelligent, likeemotionally intelligent, weirdly
so for a high schooler.
I actually find him a veryinteresting MC for A Slice of
Life.
But it's definitely one ofthose stories you look at and
you're like, damn, this isactually really chill to watch
and it makes you feel goodwatching it.
It generates a lot of emotionsbecause there's some very

(01:01:14):
emotional, intense scenes inthere.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
You know how long it is, because it's not going to
continue on into the fall, rightI?

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
think tomorrow is the last episode for this season.
I don't think it's going to geta second core run, but I think
it will get renewed for a seasontwo.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Yeah, there was also Alia.
Sometimes hides her feelings inGerman.
That one, I think, was prettygood Russian.
There you go.
I keep saying German, thatone's pretty good, animation's
good Story's, decent, mc'sinteresting.
He's very interesting, he'spopular, he's got swag, he's

(01:01:51):
like he's popular, he's got swag, but he's not like throwing it
around, like he's not anobnoxious, like pretty boy, he's
a very like calculatedcharacter.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
He knows what, like he knows his shit, his slinks,
or like, how are we going withit?

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Oh no, he's very much like a.
What do they call it?
Harry Sue with it.
Oh no, he's very much like a.
What do they call it?
Harry sue, harry, whatever.
He's one of those characterswhere, like he doesn't really
mess up, but also it's not likeit's thrown in your face.
When the moment arises for himto do something, he delivers.
That's how it's framed, okay,and he kind of just lets the
world happen around him.
In comparison, you get what I'msaying yeah, yeah, all right.

(01:02:31):
And the other one I would sayis um crap.
I was just watching thisyesterday what is?
it is a guy yes, the one withthe high school kids and the
dude gets sent to the dungeon todie.
Oh, um failure frame or failureframe.
Animation sucks.

(01:02:54):
It's fine.
It's so freaking choppy, oh mygosh, it is terrible, but I
don't know why I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Also that elf girl or whoever was with him, she wants
him.
Oh D, she is lusty bro.
Oh man over here like saying ohman, I'm just too, I'm just too
stuck up in revenge.
Yeah, it's definitely one ofthose man.
I would have forgot about thatrevenge for a minute when I

(01:03:26):
watch it turn my brain off.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
The plot is not overly complicated, the
animation kind of sucks it's forthose listening.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
It's your standard usual standard usual isekai I
just want to see the lick back alot of the characters are do
nothings, like they're prettybland.
It's like what you usuallywould expect from this type of
style of.
Isekai of a person beingwronged and then wanting to get

(01:03:55):
the lick back.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
It's not like it's not going to break the internet
If anything, it's like Isekaijunk food.
Yeah, pretty much.
Exactly.
Just Isekai junk food.
That's all I had for the summer, bro, bro, I ain't feel like
talking about nothing else.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Everything else is pretty typical uh, one that I'm
actually vibing with is that, um, hold on, let me get the name
of it, but it's uh no longerallowed in another world oh, you
know what?

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
I'm?
A dirtbag, because there'sthree that I haven't started
other than waiting for thefinish.
That is one of them it's a goodone the other one is monogatari
, and then the other one is, uh,elusive samurai um, I gotta
catch up on the loop.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Actually I gotta start elusive.
I catch up on it, but I gottastart it.
Um, and I also gotta start themission yozari one, yozakura
yeah, yozakura, still haven'tstarted.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
That I gotta catch up .
I don gotta catch up.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
Feels very generic, gives me big hitman vibes hitman
reborn gives me big hitmanvibes pretty much for no longer
allowed MC.
He's not OP, which I enjoy, buthe's also OP which I, which I

(01:05:12):
enjoy.
But he's also not necessarily afighter, he's just an author at
the end of the day he justwants to die that too he also
wants to die.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
He just wants to like get.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
He just wants to get up out of here bro he don't care
about how it's done, he justwants to be out.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
They just won't let him.
I am definitely interested inthat one, though it does seem
like a pretty cool premise andhe looks very, uh, depressed and
vampire lordy.
So it's because he's alwayssick.

Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
He's.
He's literally chewing.
He's literally popping perks.
Oh god, like my man isliterally popping poison, like
it's tic tac, he's just sir stop.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
So he's just always you know what stop.
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
you got it, you got it, you got it but but it's, you
know, um, pretty cool, um, whenthey it's kind of like a isekai
that has, has depth or a bitwhen it comes, when it's
explaining we're not necessarilyexplaining but when it's
talking about some of thecharacters in the world, even
some of the characters outsideof the world, because pretty

(01:06:20):
much everybody not everybodythough, but it's a world that
summons people, truck, coon talkis like on the payroll, so
people just getting yeeted intothe world and stuff, and
obviously you know the wholeLike on the payroll.
So people just getting yeetedinto the world and stuff, and
obviously you know the whole.
You need to defeat the demonlord, or stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
That double overtime work bro.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
Mm-hmm, but it's interesting Poor guy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
I'm excited to watch that, though.
Definitely one of the ones Ithink will be fun.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Yeah, nah, nah, it's good, it's been enjoyable.
The other one, the osan lubyadventurer oh, that's a big skip
for me.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
I don't know why.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
I think it's the way he looks.
He do look very generic, helooks very npc, he looks
uninteresting, he looks npc-ish,but the funny thing is he's
just surrounded by monsters.
He's a monster himself,obviously, to be surrounded by,
you know, just nothing butmonsters and dying for two years

(01:07:24):
straight.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
So you have to be a monster yeah, kind of just like
develop the gene at that pointbut it's good though.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Um I've been enjoying it.
That's been fun yeah, againit's also kind of funny how bad
they traumatize this man.
He for the longest like Ishouldn't say for the longest
not for the longest.
I had to think back.
I'm like double taking on it,but pretty much long story just

(01:07:54):
to get an idea of it.
It's this dude who, um, wasworking at a guild receptionist.
He made it all the way up to30s.
He wanted to be an adventurer,though, but couldn't be a
venture, you know, couldn'tdevelop anything.
So he was just working as areceptionist and one day just
said screw it all, I just wantto actually live my dream and be

(01:08:17):
an adventurer.
So he goes out to be anadventurer.
My man's in his 30's.
He takes like two years justoff training with people, comes
right back as a buffed upmonster.
You already know One hitEverybody else.
Seeing him, jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
Nothing's a challenge for him.
You just keep getting more andmore uninteresting.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
No, but here's the funny part.
Is it ha ha funny?
No, they have some funnymoments, but is it ha ha funny?

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Yeah, okay, all right , all right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
I'll give it a go.
I love a good comedy prettymuch my home, pretty much.
Homie is just like he thinkshe's terrible, he like, he don't
.
He doesn't realize how stronghe is until he's like and then
thankfully they don't like lasttoo long with that um, with like
saying oh yeah, no, I'm notstrong enough, type beat.
They solved that relativelyquick though, but it's just like

(01:09:18):
the simple fact on that hellishtraining that they had mans
with hey man, you got to getstrong.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
somehow, brody, You're going to have to work it
out.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Bro, my man will be dying in these trainings.
And then they just res him.
There's like a big giant orcand he's just been like alright,
let me use healing magic andjust resurrect him from the dead
.
You know what?
Let's continue your training.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
You got it, bro.
You got it, bro.
You're gonna res me to dieagain.
I'd be upset For two yearsstraight.
I'd be upset.
You could not speak to me.
You put your hands on me whileI'm dead.
I might kick you while I'mstill dead.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
Like everybody's an S-rank for this party and it's
just him.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Get your hands off me .

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
Oh Jesus, Obviously the one that has been on'm
pretty sure, everybody's listwith storia, wand and sword
totally forgot about talk aboutthat.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
It was just you know what.
You know what my brain did.
You know exactly what my braindid, remember when I said all
the regular stuff yeah, thatjoint just immediately went into
the regular stuff because thatjoint is just so heat.

Speaker 1 (01:10:31):
Yeah, nah, it's gas.
Animation is beautiful.
Pretty much you're like yourMashal, my boy Will.
He ain't got no magic though,but he still got these hands to
fuck you up, I found stuff out.
I went down the rabbit hole.
Not funny.
But oh, wait a minute, you wasreading it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
I'm about to start, now that the season's over.
I went down the rabbit hole,bro, I'm cooked.
Oh no, I'm just a Wistoria fannow.

Speaker 1 (01:11:02):
But you've been looking at what wiki notes.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
No, not that far down the rabbit hole.
I just looked at the mostrecent chapter.
This is what I do.
Okay, if I run into, like uh,an anime that I like that's
currently ongoing as a manga,what I'll do go to the most
recent chapter or somewhereclose, just to get a vibe oh,

(01:11:29):
now you're a maniac, you'recrazy.
And if the vibe is, right nowyou're wilding we get in there
like swimwear.
Okay, that's how I figure out.
If I want to read something.
I just do a quick like let meglance at it.
That look cool, go back.
Then I go back to wherever Ileft off in the in the anime.
But no wisteria is on my list.

(01:11:50):
He, it definitely does havesome.
I just happened to pop in onsome really popping shit I bet.
I was like I'll bet it was.
I creaked the door open.
It was fucking so.
I was like, hey, let me seewhat's going on, I'll see my way

(01:12:10):
out.
I walked out.
I'm gonna go see what thebeginning of this looked like.
I'm not a creep, right, come on.
Nah, look, I love it.
Okay, leave me alone.
Anyway, you got another one.
Nah, some has been trash OD.
I just wanted to point that out.

(01:12:31):
I love it.
Okay, leave me alone.
Anyway, you got another one.
Nah, some has been trash OD.
I just wanted to point that out.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
Aside from, obviously , the other usual stuff, my Hero
, ongoing things like that, theyare obviously good.
Slime was, you know, same thing, speaking of Slime, got season
4, but we already knew it wasgetting there.

Speaker 2 (01:12:46):
I ain't even finished the second half of season 3,
bro.

Speaker 1 (01:12:48):
Once you get past um zoom meetings, it gets good I
know I got past the zoommeetings.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
I just forgot okay.

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
Well, it's slime.
You already know how slime doeswith.
Do their world building?
Yeah, slow this is.
This is technically a slowseason.
Oh d not much um popping off,right I need better stuff from

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
Wake up, um.
With that being said, there isactually one last summer show
that I want to talk about alittle bit Tower of God.
I'm gonna be real with you.
This whole manhwa to animething I don't know what's gotten

(01:13:32):
into these people.

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
How is it?
Because I've been hearing mixedthings about it where a lot of
people are not messing with theanime for it?
Obviously the manhwa people ifyou read the manhwa people are
fucking with it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
But if you did not read the manhwa, you gonna think
the animation's trash.
Okay, okay, if you're notfamiliar with how siu draws, you
will think the animation'strash.
This is exceedingly faithful tohis art style.
Like od, like I look at it,it's tower, tower of God To the

(01:14:11):
bones.
The way the Shinsu looks, theway the characters look, the way
the outfits look.
It is so faithful visually.
I don't remember every detailof the part that they're up to,
but from what I've seen,watching up to the point they
are now, I think this is goingto run two cores, by the way,

(01:14:33):
not sure I got to look it up.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
I think I might have saw something about it in the
list for fall.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
Might have Don't quote me on it.
If it doesn't, the cliffhangeris going to be weird as hell.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Unless they.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Yeah, the cliffhanger will be weird as hell, unless
they there's crunchyroll studios.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
That's doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
That's animated right yeah, I think it's gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
It might just be a short one?
I don't think, because thefirst one didn't have a second
car yeah, but then they killedit.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
They killed it for a while after that.
I don't think they had anyplans to do a season two until
recently when they actually didthe.
Well, let me not say recently,but I don't think when they
first did season one they weregonna continue it because
crunchyroll exclusives, likethey kind of disappeared after
the whole god of high school andtower of god debacle I didn't

(01:15:21):
think tower of god was bad.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
Um, god of high school was definitely bad
because they they rushed thehell out of it.
They butchchered it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Tower of God.
People were saying that itwasn't as bad as God of High
School, but it was definitelyrushed relative to what it was
Because there was some stuffmissing from the finale of the
test that should have beenincluded.
That wasn't, which is fine Notgoing to complain about it
Because overall pretty good.
Season 2, so far feelssignificantly better Actually

(01:15:52):
made me go back and startcatching up on the monologue.
Don't talk to me, I'm in thetower of God rabbit hole again.
I used to Don't expose yourself.
I'm not going to expose myselftoday.
So anyway, I think that hasbeen, as far as new stuff goes.

(01:16:15):
That has been the real sleeperof this season.
Really, yeah, I think it's myinfatuation.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
That's not really all that new, it's ongoing.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
I think it's my infatuation with Bam as a
character.
I think it's my infatuationwith the Bam as a character,
cause this is the point where Inthe story, where Bam starts to
take on A life of his own as aperson and start to act more
independently when he joins FUG.
Well, he's not acting on hisown ambitions, cause obviously
you remember the context, he'slike being controlled by FUG,

(01:16:48):
but he expresses himself Muchmore differently and you know
his progression is a slow burnbecause even up until the arc on
the train, on the child trainwith white, he was still, he
wasn't a bitch, but he hesitatedin certain things.
This is that point where yousee that development for bam,

(01:17:10):
from going to the weak,problematic idiot who's easily
manipulated, to someone who iswiser, physically and mentally
stronger, and hischaracterization.

Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
Still trust in Rachel .

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Hell, no, we all know he don't trust that little hoe.
Hell, no, we all know he don'ttrust that little hoe, but his
characterization, what is, hasbeen so significant to the
people around him and theportrayal of it, the voice
acting, it's just fire, bro,it's been, it's been a good,
it's been a good first quarterfor season two, so I I'm really

(01:17:48):
enjoying it.
