For audio listeners it doesn'tmatter as much for you, but
we're going to go through and doour pickups first real quick.
We're going to be super fastwith them.
I've got a lot and I don't wantto bore the audio listeners and
stuff like that.
But if you are an audiolistener, it's a good reason to

(00:44):
come over to the video to checkout some of the stuff.

Mark Trobough (00:46):
You have to watch the video.
This, this is mandatory.
There's no if answer, but notas you got to watch the video.

Uh, first thing I got is thisuh, halloween retro realms set
here.
So it has Halloween and Ashversus Evil Dead as a
collector's edition.

I think I paid $20 for this andit's normally $50.

(01:14):
It's got trading cards, posters, laurie Strode playable
character and a collectible8-inch Michael Myers plush.
So that's pretty cool.
I'll show these pokemon cardsreal quick.
I got this kyrogue ex10.
Haven't opened it up yet.
I just got this today.

Cleaver v star set yeah, not the biggest fan of
that pokemon, to be honest well, I'm more for the packs, that's
why I don't really care aboutthe.

I got two of these.
So I told you, mark, you gotone.
A long time ago I was like Ican't fucking my game stuff
didn't have any, but they cameout on Amazon.
I have two more coming, butthey don't come for like two
months.
But Lucas did the same thing.
He bought as many as he could.

(02:10):
So it's just you can't getPokemon cards.
That's the problem.
You cannot get them.
It's very hard to get them.

You're buying the extra statue just to get the
packs.
Yeah, I mean, it's just for thepacks yeah, just for the packs.

Yeah, probably like sell statues or something
for like 10-15 bucks.
I don't know.
I don't know yet, but okay, sogot Gunbrick Reloaded from
Limited Run Games on the Switch$10.
Rune Factory 3 Special $10.
Well, the Rune Factory series.
I already have this on Switch,but I want it on PS4 cause I got
a fight pad and, uh, an arcadestick so I can play it there

(02:50):
better.
Uh, marvel versus Capcomfighting collection for the PS4.
Shimogami Tensei vengeance uh,steel book 15 bucks.

We'll get steel book that you'll tell you know
it's good.
We've got Steelbook that youcan tell you know it's good.

Yeah, it's got a slipcover too.
It's pretty cool.
But I already had Shin MegamiTensei V, but Vengeance is like
the new version of it.
Yeah, this one.
I'm pretty excited about DeadRising Deluxe Remastered $10.
This isn't even that old, sothat's pretty cool.
I got this game called Dustborn.

(03:28):
It's in like a big box.

I don't even know what it's about, but it was $10
.
Oh yeah, it's one of thosegames that flopped hard.

Did it.
I didn't even know what it was.

Oh, I knew as soon as you said it.

Well, what's it come with?
It comes with a steelbook.

I got a feeling that you're definitely going to.
You'll definitely love the game.
Yeah, definitely.

I mean once.

I saw the back of it.

it looks like it's something I would not want
to play 100%.
Yeah, Did I show this last week?
I can't remember.
Yeah, I think you did.
Okay, I showed that one lastweek, so we'll skip that.
Did I show this last week too?
Svc Chaos.

That I don't know .

Okay, well, I got SVC Chaos SNK versus Capcom,
really really excited aboutthis.
This is also a limited runrelease.
It came out on the Switch too.
I went for the PS4 versionbecause I got the fight pad and
stuff for it, so that it's justeasier for me to play.
I do like to get them on theswitch as well, but, uh, what I

(04:30):
think I'm probably going to dois pick them up on the switch
too, if they get, if they makelike a good fight pad for it.
Uh, yeah, because, like streetfighter, uh six is already
coming on there with years oneand two.
So, um, unfortunately I'm notpicking it up on there though,
because, uh, it's a game keycard, so it's one of those.
So, uh, I I opted for, uh,picking it up on there, though,
because it's a game key card, soit's one of those, so I opted
for picking it up on PS5.
Yeah, dead Rising is great.

(04:52):
Where was it?
$10.
It was Walmart.
Walmart was $10.
Dustborn isn't bad.
It's a story-based sci-fiadventure.
Stream Dustborn.
Okay, this must not be that badmark, uh it was a whole bunch of
uh, okay, this one's bad aroundthis game, this one's really

(05:12):
bad, but I paid five dollars forit at walmart, physically like
in the store, so I was like Iwas like five dollars, all right
, let's call them.

I mean it's a $5 game.
At that point it's probablyworth the money.
Yeah, I mean for that.

I was like yeah, yeah, I didn't think I would
grab it.
Mega man 11 for the PS4.
Surprisingly, for some reason,it didn't have Mega man 11.
I was looking.
I was like I beat the game.
How do I not have it?
So I don't know if I lost theSwitch copy or what, but who
knows, I got this.
I was really excited about thisone.
This one was 20, but this isreally cool because it's got a

(05:52):
lot of games that we love on itand that's the Star Wars
Heritage Pack.
It's got seven classic StarWars games on it Star Wars Racer
, Republic, Commando, Knights ofthe Old Republic, Knights of
the Old Republic 2, Jedi Knight1, Jedi Knight 2, and Force
Unleashed all on there.
Unfortunately, the one badthing about this is that the

(06:13):
Knights of the Old Republicgames are downloads, so you get
five games on the cart.

But I mean still, I still think it's worth it A
little bit of win, a little bitof fail.

One really, really good one.
I know this is a lot ofpeople's RPG of the year last
year Sea of Stars.
Oh yeah, this is an IM8-bitrelease.
I'm really excited to play that, really excited about that one.
I got Persona 5 Tactica.
This was also a $5 Walmartpickup Got a lot of $5 games.
Yeah, $5 Walmart pickup got alot of $5.

(06:45):
Yeah, no, yeah, $5, $10 most ofthem.
There's a couple that weren't,though.
House of Ashes this one was $10on Amazon.
This is part of the DarkPictures series.
It's like an anthology series.
I don't know anything aboutthat game.
I think there's three of themright now.
He said, no, mark, let him playit yeah, I saw that.

Gotta love those $5 $10 Walmart deals.

Now he said no, no mark, let him play it.
Yeah, sell that.
That's just laughing when I sawit.
Gotta love those five, tendollar walmart deals.
Yeah, this one wasn't 10.
This one was, uh, on sale for30, but this is one I wanted to
get in a launch and I just saidI was gonna wait for it to get
cheaper, and that is visions ofmana.
Super, super excited to playthis.
Um, this one was actually 20,which was a really good deal
because it's a pretty recentrelease and, again, one I really

(07:27):
, really wanted to play.
I've already played, but it's aremaster of it and that's tales
of grace's f remastered.
So I was super happy about that.

I gotta move these down got a stack of games
right there, definitely startingto get in the way yeah, I was
gonna knock them over.

Uh, I got this one for 10.
It's called Potion PermitComplete Edition.
I don't know anything aboutthis one.
It's like a 2D.
It looks like a 2D Zelda-esquegame, but I don't know.
That's just from the back of itand I just took a gamble on it.
King of Fighters 13 GlobalMatch for the Switch Also a

(08:03):
limited run release.
So another fighting game.
I love the King of Fighters 13global match for the Switch Also
limited run release.
So another fighting game.
I love the King of Fightersseries.
This is cool, mark, you'll likethis.
Demon Slayer, the HinakamiChronicles Finally got this.
I wanted this forever.
It never went down in price.
It went down to $20.

I've seen the game plenty of times at a
GameStop.

I always see it, but it never goes down in price
.
I've seen the game plenty oftimes at a GameStop.
I always see it, but it nevergoes down.
I'm probably saying finallywent down to $20.
I'm like I'm grabbing that.
I've wanted it since launch,just didn't want to pay the $60
for it.
But now there's a second game,so yeah, I didn't want to pay
the second game, though thisone's really cool.
You would love this series.
So I played these on the PS day, but that is called.
It's called a class of heroesone and two, and this is the

(08:44):
complete edition on ps5, butthese were psp games very anime
talked about it before, I thinkit's all name is on like a year
or so ago yeah, so I it wasn'tsaying I was like I'm definitely
picking that up.
I played the first one on psp.
I never played the second one.
I loved it.
I thought it was great you knowwhat?

something about your alley 100 you would really
love.
What's it?
Class of 09?
What's that?
You should definitely play it.
Okay, last thing.

I got the what they call the PSP phone, so I'm
working on modding it right now.
I've got one game so far, so Ijust haven't had time yet, cause
I'm doing the.
I don't know if I showed thislast week.
I got this a while ago, so Idon't know if I ever showed it,

(09:36):
but I just finally got the SDcard set up, but it's a Saru
cart.
I might I might've showed itfor the sake of Saturn, but I'm
working on setting that up rightnow, like I've got stuff in the
background downloading thingslike that.
But yeah, that's everything forme.
Mark, what do you got?

there's only like one new game pickup that I
happened to see today.
It was like $30, it's calledMuda Masa, the Demon Blade for
the Wii.

I don't know anything about it.
Miramasa, good game.
The booklet masa, the demonblade for the for the wii.
Oh yeah, I don't know anythingabout it, but it's out there,
yeah yeah good game that hadeverything disc, the booklet.

It's the only reason I still have a wii.
I have a wii.
U was for like a handful of wiigames, so I was like yeah,
that's a good game, obviouslythe.
Uh, I can't remember if youactually showed it off.
The actual attention moviething that you picked up came in
the mail this week.
Yeah, I don't think I showed itoff.
I think the only thing, forthat was the extra features.

All the Pioneer releases are always so cool
though they're always cool.
I love them.

That's super cool , slide that back on.
And then, as well, this finallycame in, because I don't know
how much they're still going tohave it was the analog pocket
came in.
Yes, I'm so happy you got that.
I'm glad it came in Actually.
So this might suck a little bitfor the audio listeners, but I
had some quick little film thatI took of it.

(10:59):
Okay, you can actually see.
So if you're seeing it on theleft, it's the power button, you
, you actually see.
So, like, if you're seeing iton the left, it's the power
button, you get the volume,obviously, the regular buttons
and stuff like that.
At the bottoms, obviously it'sgot the usbc plug-in audio jack,
uh, and then the the sd card isis on the side.
That was the sick one game thatI had in uh, so you got open

(11:20):
fbga set up at all yet.
No, I haven't done any of thatstuff, okay, so I'll send you.

I'll send you the app that all you do is plug
in the sd card into yourcomputer and it does it for you.
Um, I can tell you what it isright now.
Actually, um, it is called realquick.
No, I don't, I don't have tolook it up, it's on my desktop.
It's called um pocket updater,and I'll try to send you the
github link later.
There's also pocket sync too.

(11:46):
Yeah, there's, there's two of.
I have both of them on mylaptop, but uh, yeah, there's
there.
You literally just plug the sdcard in and it does it all for
you.
It's automatic.
So, oh, we gotta get loud yeah,but look at that screen man
isn't that beautiful.

It's like a game boy, but like with a much, much
larger screen yeah, there wassome extra way way prettier
screen yeah, it looks reallyreally good.

Yeah, it does wait till you see some of the
other games that you know whatthe gba games like.
Oh my goodness, it's crazy.

And then you get like any of geo games on there.

You get freaking uh turbo graphics games on
there and you see them it andit's like, wow, this is amazing.
And you got the dock as well,which you didn't mention.

Yeah, so I got the dock and then I was able to
as it swaps over.
So this is the actual footage Irecorded on the dock.
Sick, yeah, this one was theactual Gundam Seed game, because
you can kind of see how it kindof gives you the description
Yeah, the description and stufflike that.
Yeah, and it it played reallywell, because I tested this

(12:48):
yesterday I was the last one.

I still on the on the back end of it.
Oh okay, I'm sorry, I justturned the volume down there.
Oh no, yeah but yeah, I meanfor our this was definitely
coming to the video so you cancheck this out, because this is
pretty, yeah, because this onewas more.

This is the.
So it's, it's open, it'splaying.
Because the the japanese gundamseed game that I had, I was
like let me throw it in just seeif it works, because the game
boy color one was was anamerican.
So I was like don't knowanything.
That's going on.
Obviously it's a gundam seedgame.
It's heavy on the text.
I don't read japanese look atthat.

It looks good for?

I mean for being blown up and stuff like that.

Oh, yeah good yeah like the doc is great.

It makes it just like the little tutorial and
stuff like that.
It plays fine because I wasactually using my why does this
look funner than modern gundamgames?

two recent gundam games I was like really
disappointed in the combat inboth with the game and the the.
What's the one?
I told you the girl's name.

I can't I, I know what you're talking about.
I just can't think of yeah, Iwas like man, this combat is
terrible yeah, so this.
It wasn't actually straightusing the bluetooth, but I
plugged in through, uh, usb, uhmy ps4 controller, so this was
all being controlled with theps4 controller, it's not, it's
not the same, but it operatesthe same for the most part, with
all the button faces on theactual thing.

(14:05):
So I was like this looks reallygood for both.
I didn't.
I tested it on my on my like,captured it, so it's on my
computer screen, not my actuallike.

Uh I usually use a.
I bought an 8-bit doecontroller specifically for the,
the dock um, just because thebuttons are more in line with
like kind of like a SNEScontroller, a Game Boy
controller sort of thing layout.
So it just felt better to me.
But, yeah, you can use anycontroller which is cool and
yeah, any Bluetooth controller.

I know their site said there were specific ones
that they for sure support, butI'm pretty sure anything that
either you plug in or the jobyou connect to it, xbox
controller works.

Yeah, really cool.
Or the controller?

to connect to it.
Xbox controller works um.
Yeah, really cool man, yeahreally cool.
So I there you go.
I had to back out, but yeah,that's like the only big thing I
don't have it on me, but I gotthe the screen that I need to
put on.
Obviously, I still haven'ttaken off the, the thing it came
with, but I got the screen thatI need to put on.
Obviously, I still haven'ttaken off the thing it came with
, but I got the glass screenprotector and the actual travel
case that came with it.

(15:09):
Sweet, I think.
Between those three things andthe dock was like $450.

I'm curious Did you get the link cable?
Because that links to originalGame.

Boy no, I didn't Okay.

I don't really hear doing anything.

I only really have the one.
I didn't really plan it becauseI'm like well with the sd for
some games.
I could just properly emulateit, yeah, to get around that
issue.
So I wasn't like superconcerned about it for sure I
technically have my game boycolor uh, but I don't really use
it because it's missing theback and I never had the link
cable for that either.

So okay, I'll show you mine real quick.
I just with the open fpga, so Idon't know if I've showed
before on here.

Yeah, what what it'll look like, but I also got
a turbo ever driving it, sobecause obviously you get the sd
card stuff like that you canjust straight emulate the games
on there as well yeah, open fdgais awesome because you get like
tons of says I got 100, 107arcade games, 12 different
arcade multi-game, sevencomputers.
It's nice to at least have andbe able to find physical games

(16:08):
and still play them, even if youemulate them.

It's still nice having the physical game 19
consoles, 17 handhelds, so itemulates a ton of stuff.
And then I've got the TurboEverDrive.

It's nice being either being able to emulate or
play with the physical, becauseyou can kind of go both ways as
well.

Yeah, the way I see it is like anything I have
an EverDrive for, I use theEverDrive.
I don't use OpenFPGA forbecause I just prefer the actual
EverDrive.
It saves on the EverDrive.
You can do more stuff with theEverDrive in that.
So that's one of those thingswhere it just works out better

(16:45):
than OpenFPGA does.

You can still do saves and stuff, but there's a
lot of stuff that you can dowith the EverDrive that just
enhances the pocket, if you will, yeah plus it's like, hey,
there's an incentive to buy moreor to play more of the, maybe
like GBA games and stuff likethat, and or pick up more
Japanese, know more japanesegames, if I ever get the chance
I'll have an actual way to playthem now yeah, I'll send you, uh

(17:10):
, actually right now, what youshould grab, because it's not
that much, it's, it's a pretty,pretty freaking good deal.
But I'll send it to you, uh,I'll yeah, I know, because I
know there was people talking noidea how much it was.

So I was like I guess I'll pick it up now if it
shows up there, I just put it inthe uh the chat there.

So oh yeah, I saw it popping okay, cool.

So yeah, I guess we'll go ahead and get started
with our, uh, our notes, what wegot first mark.

Uh, I mean a lot to talk about so I don't want to
lean on everything too long.
But uh, there's traction of auh the potential people were
talking about it getting aupdate update all button for
steam.
So anybody that's on pc anduses steam you realize your
steam games don't update, theyupdate automatically like a week

(17:56):
afterwards.
But you have to do them one ata time.
You can't just hit it.
There's one way you hit the oneand it downloads the one, or
you download all.
It hit start downloading, thenyou go to the next one, then you
go to the next one.
That way it'll auto downloadthem all at the same time.
Be fair, this seems like a huh,like a feature of life that'd
be pretty easy, I would assume,to implement, because it's not

(18:19):
that if you keep your stuff uptoday it's not the biggest issue
.
But if you have like 50 gameson your pc and they're all new
games, you obviously run intothe issue of having to update
stuff constantly be fair, Ithink really frustrating the
auto update feature should beeasy, like if there's an update
it should just immediately startdownloading and not push it off
a few days to start so I

don't know why it does that I'll tell you my
experience.
Like the auto update justdoesn't update the games not, it
doesn't not like it should yeahand so.
And one weird thing thisarticle says is covet 19 changed
steam's update process tospread out downloads.

I don't understand that kind of I, to be
fair, because I've been usingit years, before 2020 it's it
hasn't changed to me.
I still have to go in andmanually update everything, so
nothing's nothing changes.
I saw okay pre or post, go inand manually update everything,
so nothing nothing changes.

I saw, okay, pre or post COVID, at least in my
opinion, these games update.
That would be fantastic, causeit's a frustrating thing.
It always worries me is that wego into stream a game and then
there's an update or something.

It's like you have to be constantly checking.
I mean, obviously, if youlaunch it every day and just
check the updates and stuff likethat.
But for the most part it's notan issue because most of these
updates either a you're you havea land connection and it's not
that bad and it's most gamesthat are updating are less than
a gig, so it takes a few minutes.
But if you have like a massiveupdate, obviously you'd like it

(19:37):
to start updating automatically.
Or to like update everythingyou know before you go to bed
But like, let thing you knowbefore you go to bed and stuff
like that.
Uh, but like, let's be fair,like an update all button is an
issue if you have a lot of gamesyou're trying to update it once
or you don't update it thatoften.
You say you don't connect tothe internet every day.
For me I've never seen morethan like two to two to three
games at once need updated andusually one might have a big

(19:58):
update.
Two are kind of small, so it'snot the biggest issue, but it
would be a nice, a nice qualitylife to to implement.
I I'm sure you'll, you'll useit more.
The more you get, the more yougame on steam or on pc, you
realize you know, if you have alot of stuff downloaded all at
once, uh, updating them can be,can be a headache, especially if
they're new games.

(20:18):
If they're like old games, it'slike borderlands 2, borderlands
1 not really gonna see anupdate, hardly ever.
So for those games it's not anissue.
But you know, if you, if youplay in I don't, I don't think
fortnite's on steam, but ifyou're playing like a fortnite
or like a gta online and stufflike that, I don't even know if
those games are on steam, uh,they're gonna update, probably
like weekly or monthly.
So and if you've got like 10new games that came out in the

(20:41):
last year, yeah, they're gonnaget updates pretty recently, so
it could be an issue but I meanyeah just on
small.
That I thought was like worthworth talking about because it
would be nice to see on the uhon the pc side.
Yeah, it would be for sure.
I agree, I agree, especially aspc gaming gets gets more
popular.
Uh, but on top of that, if I'mnot sure, you either have or

(21:02):
haven't gotten an email at thispoint, but if you're not
tracking, obviously the switchto pre-orders from the tenducom
went out this week on the 8th.
They say they're they'resending that between the 8th and
the 12th, but I'm pretty suremost people probably got them on
the 8th.
Then you've got that 72 hourwindow.
So I'm assuming as May goes on,more and more will start
getting emails.

(21:22):
I assume a lot of people thatkind of like we did signed up
for this, also pre-ordered it.
If they got the pre-orderbeforehand they won't need this.
So I'm sure a lot of peopleeither are going to just get
another one, for whatever reasonthis is like their first
opportunity to get one orthey're just not going to need
it and the invite's going toexpire and they're going to
resend out more emails in thecoming weeks and stuff like that

(21:44):
, days and weeks.

Yeah, I didn't get one yet.
So I'll just say I'm running agame tournament for an event
that is happening where I live,so we need one for a tournament.
We're doing legit tournaments,like trophies, giving away a
Switch 2.
So we're going to give away aSwitch switch to and then we
need one for tournaments.

(22:05):
So I'm trying to get, after twonow, which I got, I helped get
you one, but then you end upgetting one too.
And then I got Lucas one andthen I got my friend Matt one.
Was able to get him one, so,like I got then later found out,
I was like now I need to gettwo more and I can't get.

(22:26):
I'm trying but I can't get.

I keep seeing periodically, like you know,
tweets and articles like oh,pre-orders back on this site.
I don't see I haven't seen.
They're probably up, people seeit, they run to it and then the
pre-orders go down.

So I'm really hoping we've got a little over a
month to try to get two of them.
So, yeah, it's like a big event, like uh, they're spending big,
big, big money.
Like I got big music artistscoming out, uh, everything from
hip-hop, pop um death metal, uhjust regular rock and they're

(23:04):
they're all.
Uh it's it's a christian event,so it's.
It's something that was um usedto happen in circle back in the
the day circle ohio was calledmy fest and like there were big
bands that came through likethousand foot crutch, reliant k
um switch foot.
Uh, like there was all kinds ofyou know what I mean uh

(23:26):
newsboys came through um youknow getting real old yeah,
getting real old.
But yeah, thank you, nika, forbringing that up.
I just updated it just now soit's ready for tomorrow.
But yeah, there is a bigschedule, one update, so I'm
excited about that.
Uh, seeing what the update'sabout and stuff, um, but yeah, I
did get that update.
So thank you for bringing that.
Uh, seeing what the update'sabout and stuff, um, but yeah, I
did get that update.
So thank you for bringing thatup.

It only took like two seconds, so this is a small
it wasn't a big game, so theupdates probably not could be
that big, but yeah uh, thank youfor bringing that up, yeah
after uh yuji hora uh made somecomments in naples a few weeks
ago about the chrono triggerremake.
now he came out and the creatorsaid he's uh beginning to
contemplate.
Made some comments in Naples afew weeks ago about the Chrono
Trigger remake.
Now he came out and the creatorsaid he's beginning to
contemplate a remake.

(24:09):
What I don't know if it's inthis is like trying to
retroactively change what hesaid accidentally or he was a
mistranslation and actuallyactively starting to think about
remaking this.
But essentially he came out andhe said he was beginning to
contemplate this Becauseobviously this is what not going
to be here?

(24:29):
We don't want to have no ideawhat's going on, but regardless,
if they this, this is hopefullythe, I guess, worst case
scenario.
The idea of a remake is gettingtraction.
Best case, they're alreadyworking on it and he just wasn't
supposed to say what he saidthen.

It seems like a like.
I mean to me it's like one ofthose things where it's like a
no-brainer.
I mean that game?
I think so yeah, it doesn'tmatter if they did a a a
remaster for it or they did aremake either.
One would say I mean, you sawthe lunar remastered collection.
Those are just remastered games.
The games still look like theoriginal games, they just look a

(25:04):
little bit better.
They run faster, so the battlesystem is a little faster.
Those games sold out likehotcakes and they're being
scouted.
If Lunar, which is like a cultclassic series for people, it's
a cult classic, it really is.
They're great RPGs, but they'remuch smaller scale than.

(25:27):
But they're, they're kind,they're.
They're much smaller scale thana chrono trigger.
Chrono trigger is oftentimessaid by most people and I think
I agree is the number one bestrpg of all time.
Um, I absolutely love it.
I think I do agree with that.
It's it's hard.
I play so many rpgs, but I it'sit's it's there.

You could argue this was the prime of some of,
like the, the, the biggestcreators, uh, in the industry.
Yeah, uh, from from the artistuh to to the actual creators,
because you had, you know,dragon quest and stuff there,
dragon ball creators sorry, I'mjust blanking on the names uh,
but I mean like they're, they'relike in their prime, a lot of
big names that had put a lot ofwork into this game.

(26:05):
So it just makes sense why thisis.
You could argue.
This came out when JRPGs wereat their peak.
At least the 2D version of themcame out.

The SNES era for RPGs.
I mean you think of Legend ofMana, you think of Final Fantasy
, you think of Phantasy Star.

I mean the SNES era snes, like a lot of those
dragon quest games that came outthen too.
Yeah, I mean the snes era forrpgs is just crazy.

Um, it's just.
There's so many good games.
And then same goes for game boy.
When we bring up, like pokemon,there were a ton of final
fantasy was on game boy.
Um, Dragon Quest was on GameBoy.
Just that era of both thehandheld and the console.
It was amazing.
That's why these games aregetting remasters and brought to

(26:53):
the Switch, which is great.
They need to be more accessible.
I'm happy the Lunar Collectioncame out, but it's like they
came out and said oh, we didn'texpect to sell this many.
They publicly said that.
I'm like why would you thinkthis game wouldn't sell?
This is a classic series.

(27:14):
It's going to sell.
So they're sold out and they'rewaiting to print more copies.
They said they're going to havemore copies.
It's crazy.

It's very crazy, but I just wanted to to fix what
I said earlier, because the itwas uh hironobu sakaguichi which
was the final fantasy creator,uh akira toriyama from dragon
ball and stuff like that as well, as they had, uh, the
soundtrack by yasunori mitsudaand stuff like that a lot, a lot
of other big names, because ontop of just the story, the

(27:47):
graphics or just the characterdesigns, it's got an amazing
soundtrack.
Have you ever listened to theold, essentially 8-bit
soundtrack?

Yeah, it has an amazing soundtrack.
I have it on vinyl, yeah.
So it's a really good one, forsure.

There's just a lot of big names that had worked
on this game and it's crazythat they made this one game and
then they went their separateways and they just kind of left
this game alone.

Well, and then they made Chrono Cross, which is
a good game, but not as good asChrono Trigger.

No, I like it the same, but it's not kind of I
like it a lot.

It came out on Switch.
A remastered it.
I like it a lot, but it is notas good as Chrono Trigger.
And also I will say they didremake it on the DS Also very
good, but still not as good asthe SNES version.

in my opinion, it was just like it felt more like
a port than anything else.
To be fair, they just ported itto the DS.

They changed stuff in the game that they
shouldn't have changed.
They changed stuff in the gamethat they shouldn't change.
That was the problem I had withit.
They changed some text and somethings.
That happened because it was.

It was considered a remake, not a port, like
that's how they advertise, as aremake, yeah, but like, let's be
fair, it was more of a portwith some changes to where they
could call it like a, like aremaster or something like that
remake, whatever you want tocall it you heard, nintendo
reserves the some brick consolesto stop piracy yeah, we're

(29:09):
gonna.
We're gonna talk about that.
Okay, a little bit, all right.
Yeah, I haven't heard aboutthat, okay, uh, there's a lot of
nintendo stuff to talk aboutthis week that was some more,
more bigger than others, butyeah, we're tracking that and he
said he's uh seen a few ofthose bands that I mentioned.

Yeah, those are.
Those are uh definitely someold school bands for sure.
I saw reliant k and concerttwice, uh, back in the day.
I I really like the the poppunk style stuff and they had
some of that, a few songs that Iliked and stuff.
Yeah well I mean you, you likenewsboys.
I remember that back in the day.

I didn't like them.

I was not a fan of the music at all.

I haven't listened to them in probably
like 15 years, 15-20 years atthis point.

I was hoping we could get.
We were trying, we've got somepretty big artists coming, but I
wanted to get demon hunter,which is a Christian death metal
band that I actually like Isthat I'm not really into the
Christian music or anything, butI think I think it's a really
good band.
Um, and they've been around fora long time still putting out

(30:18):
albums, but unfortunately thecost for them was like really
really high.
So cost for them was like really, really high, so couldn't get
them out.
But, uh, I mean, there's beenbig, big money for this event,
so, uh, it's going to be huge.
I'm really hoping I can getthese switches up, you know, um,
get those going.
And I still got to get a ps5too, which I think we're going
to try to get it like rent toown for just a day, and then, uh

(30:41):
, possibly an xbox as well,because we're doing, we're doing
, uh, the games.
We're doing our mario kart,where the hope is the new mario
kart world, um, the new versionof the mario party that's got
the additional stuff for switchto uh smash brothers for switch
smash ultimate, uh, streetfighter 6, and then maddenden,

(31:04):
so the newest Madden.
You like Creed?
I joke around with Mark aboutCreed all the time.

Can you take me higher to a place?

where blind men see, got him.
I don't actually like them, buthe knows a lot of about them.
I know all the songs, not reallya fan, but I was going to go
see them in concert with someother bands that I wanted to see
.
Don't know if that's going tohappen or not, but they've got a

(31:38):
real revival going on.
I blame it on TikTok becauseit's just like crazy.
They've got a huge revival.
You see the reels from TikTokon Facebook and stuff going on.
I blame it on tiktok because,uh, it's just like crazy, like
you got a huge revival.
You see the reels that fromtiktok, like on facebook and
stuff, it's so, they're so funny.
It'd be like, uh, some guy likedrinking a beer in the garage,
like listening to this, is creedby himself.

I think I watched tv I don't know if it was that
I think it's the one where he'ssinging about uh, about the,
about his kid's birth, uh, butit was like a like a
five-year-old just sitting there, just like laying back, just
like looking like he'scontemplating life.
I don't know if you know whatI'm talking about.

I haven't seen that one, though there's so many
though it's so, it's funny it'slike a meme now it's, but, but
they're.
They're bigger than they'veever been, which is crazy,
because in the 2000s they werebig the.

They were big but hated on.
They were one of those bands.

Yeah, it was one of those Nickelback.

I was about to say they're like the Nickelback
of the early 2000s.

Which Nickelback still gets the hate.
They still do.
I still see it all the time.
I'm also not a fan of that bandeither, although I like their
first album, which doesn't soundlike any of their other stuff.
It sounds like a um post grungealbum, because that's what it
was supposed to be.
And then they, you know, wentjust like full uh, radio rock.

(32:51):
So just not a fan, but you knowwith arms wide open yeah yeah,
but I just heard the news todayhey
I know mark's been listening toa lot of that stuff and the
grunge and and stuff which iscool I do, I do.

This is what I listen to.

I do like that, I I like some of the stuff
you've been listening to.
Just remember, european nevergets old.
It's peak okay I don't knowabout that.
Let's say I know no I I stickwith my grunge almost daily.
Pretty much I'd allison chains,nirvana, like every single day.
Like I got an irana shirt onand nirvana tattoo.
I don't really see it, but uh,all right, that's my stuff I'm

(33:37):
just wrapping a dark blue shirtwith nothing on it yeah, I mean
kind of lame, not gonna lie.
Why the hate towards nickelback?
I say the best band ever.
I don't, I don't do the hatetowards nickelback.
I I don't quite understand.
It's only like I don'tunderstand the hate towards them
, like I think it's ridiculousbecause like that was.

They were the popular thing, so it's.
It's always the end thing tohate the most.

I mean that's guys it's got to suck for them.
But the thing is they stillfill up arenas.

So it's like, yeah, they get, they fill up
arenas, you know they're rockstar song I really liked back in
the day.
It's one of the few songsactually there's that I liked
and then uh, yeah, let's be fairdrugs and stuff.

I'm like obviously, yeah, like I.
That song is so cringe to menow, like I liked it as a kid
into it back back in the day Iwas into it as a kid.
When it came out I was likeinto it.
But they also did that.
Uh, I don't know if youremember, but they did the hero
song for spider-man 2 oh yeah,you remember that.

(34:35):
I like that a lot I did likethat and I still do like that
song.

I thought that was good, they sung that song.
Yeah, yeah, I like that,obviously, and I've their.
What are their their?
Song photograph is never goingto go away because it's just a
meme at this point.
Yeah, you know, whatever youwant every time she makes me
laugh.

Yeah, it's always showing something on it.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, uh, game freak said Ilike them back in the day, but
the photograph memes are great.
Salvatore Ganucci startedlistening and some of the songs
would work in Streets of Rage 2.
You're talking about Salvatore.
I'm currently playing King.

(35:16):
It's the only thing I playedwas Fatal Fury City of Wolves.
That's all I played.
I haven't played anything else.
I'm going through and going tobeat it with every character so
I can get 100% on the story, butthat's all I played.
That's it.
I haven't played nothing else,just our stream.
I played Schedule 1 last week.
Other than that, if I get evenjust 30 minutes at night before

(35:38):
bed or something, I'd pop on anddo a couple matches.
You know, if you got to listento a plane schedule, one snoop
dog.

Obviously I mean that would be a good idea.
It's a.
It's a perfect one for one fitobviously that would.
It would be a great fit orthat's just the breaking bad
soundtrack, one of the othersthat works too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah .

So we know what, funny enough, I I I'm sorry to
derail it.
No, you're good schedule oneand, like the, the short front
content is making Breaking Badbecome popular again or it's
bringing it back.
Is it Ultra Zeitgeist.

Such a good series, it really is.
It's one of my favorite seriesever, especially when you look
back Because I think of the.

Is it?
Bryan Cranston is the actor'sname?

Yeah, Bryan Cranston.

When he did that role he'd only done like comedy
roles, so like the, because hewas in.

Malcolm in the middle.
He's the dad.

It was a great show.
I love it yeah.

But it's so different, like the roles are so
different.
He was so serious, he was such,he's got such good range Him
and the connection with them wasso good, like it was just it
felt genuine, like everythingabout the series.
Wife like really great actor oractress, uh, just it looked
awesome, um, everything about it.

(36:53):
I thought it was all set upreally, even the kid, like uh,
when the kid came in and wouldlike be upset with the dad or
something during that part ofthe series and stuff, and it's
like you know this might becontroversial.

Uh, if you take out some of the later seasons
stuff, and it's like you knowwhat this might be controversial
, uh, if you take out some ofthe later seasons.
But I think it's better thanthan game of Thrones, even the
early seasons, I think, oh, Iagree.

I agree with that.

I mean before the the, the dog pilot did in the
later seasons.

But yeah, I mean , anthron's ended really bad.
Hey, what's up, dave?
How's it going?
But yeah, we'll be playingSchedule 1 tomorrow and my
soon-to-be brother-in-law isgoing to be jumping in with us
and potentially a friend, Idon't know.
But, dave, if his frienddoesn't come in, you should come

(37:39):
in and play with us again.
That'd be cool.
Yeah, we got four people, sototally going to be awesome.
But uh, what do we got next?

year we got yeah, so obviously people were
talking about it.
Nintendo came out and said no,there's no, there's no
generative ai in mario kartworld, essentially because no
people.
People have been talking aboutit.
On top of the 80 price tag,which you can get three dollars
off if you get the bundled forfive at switch two, bundled with
the market world my questionquestion is is it using DLSS at

(38:06):
all?

Because I don't think it actually is.
It doesn't look like.

DLSS, but DLSS isn't generative.

AI?
No, I know it's not, I'm notjust asking, though.

100% this game uses the DLSS, you think so I
would be surprised if it doesn't.

Okay, it just doesn't to me look, because I
feel like it would look betterif it was using DLSS With this
game being a launch title, whywould they not try to do
everything they could to make itand?
If it's a Switch 2 exclusivetitle.

You'd want it to try to do everything you can,
whether it uses it well or not.
Whether there's been an updateout for the demos, no idea.

But I would be surprised if it just doesn't use
it at all.
I'm not saying it looks bad atall, I think bad at all.
I think it looks really good,but I just feel like it could
look better.
Yeah, it definitely could lookbetter, for sure.
So that's why I was asking isit using the dlss?
Because it doesn't look like itto me but like you said so,

(38:57):
like you said um, you wouldthink that nintendo would take
full advantage of the system forlike let their biggest.
It's going to be their biggestgame again.
You know it is Because theMario Kart, even the $80 price
tag is not going to defer itfrom being the big, just like
last generation.
And even for the Wii U, marioKart is for sure going to be the

(39:17):
biggest game.

Plus, it's the first pack-in title and most
people are getting that bundleWell it's a pack-in title if you
spent the extra amount ofbundles, yeah, but it's a
quasi-pack-in title in that casethat you have to pay more for
it.

But most people I know actually everybody I know
has gone for that.
I don't know anybody that'sgotten the standard bundle.
It's obvious that.

Nintendo made more copies of this just because
it makes sense and theyobviously want people playing
this game.
This is their only first-partylaunch title.
So this is the game that theywant to be popular, but I get it
.
And obviously this is aquasi-upgrade from the Switch,
but you want them to use it.

(39:56):
But obviously, as the Switch 2lifestyle goes on, the
developers are going to be morecomfortable with the hardware
and be able to get more out ofthe hardware.
So obviously later title gamestend to play better than early
title, but with it beingNintendo, you'd want this game
to look and perform the bestthat you could ever possibly
make it For sure, yeah, andlet's be fair, 8 Deluxe was like

(40:18):
8 slash Deluxe is like a Wii Ugame.
They've had like eight years towork on this game what they did
.
They've had time to work on thisgame.

I will say what they did with it, with the
expansion pass and all the stuffthey brought to.
It was really cool though.

They were constantly feeding content,
which I expected to be the best.

I mean it wasn't even that long ago that we got
the last stuff for it.
Neek said you can definitelysee Breaking Bad and South Park
references in Schedule 1.
Mr Coffee said I say, brandon,do a Dustboard stream one night
just for your reaction.
Don't look up videos, just playit.
Dave, you're skipping Switch 2.

(40:59):
That's unfortunate man.
That's unfortunate.
Neek said gonna wait for theSwitch 3.
I'm gonna wait for the Switch.
U personally.
And the Schedule 1 is hilarious.
Yeah, schedule 1 is so fun.
It's just like ridiculously fun.
My boss at work, superChristian guy, and it's
obviously a game that is likeabout you know, it's about drugs

(41:19):
, that's what it is.
You are a drug dealer.

He, that's what it is, you are a drug dealer.

He loves it, so I think I think it's super funny
.
He absolutely loves it, so it'sreally cool.
It's very fun and I just lovesupporting these indie titles
that literally one developer forthis game.
It's crazy that it's so good,but this is what we need.
We need more of this stuff.
We need more another one.

I want to check out Mark.

There's another one that is also check out mark.
There's another one that isalso an indie game that's like
being played a lot on steam.
Uh, I think it's called.
I have to look, can't remember.
Uh, but it's, it's um, I thinkit's called repo.

Oh yeah yeah, I know what you're talking about.

A lot of people are playing that I don't know
anything about it.
I haven't seen any gameplay.

I've seen people play it.
I don't know anything about it.
I haven't seen any gameplay.
I've seen people play it.
I don't know what you'reactually doing, but it looked
like a quasi horror game, but Idon't really know about it.

It's $10.
I mean, like maybe we shouldcheck it out.
It's multiplayer, it's $10.
We absolutely should 23 of myfriends own this game.
So yeah, we definitely check itout for sure.

(42:30):
I mean, where the triple ascene just gives you crap, the
indie scenes definitely.
Exactly.
I, I love it.
Man, bring more of those indiegames here.
I'm, I'm here for dds, dds.
Dave, look, I'm disappointed inyou not getting a switch to man
.
I'm really, really I'm justtruly disappointed.
Neek said repo r-e-p-o.

Yeah, I just you know that way I mean, I guess,
uh, talking about games,specifically good quasi-in we
got some more graphics thatNintendo was promoting for their
games for the Switch 2 launch,so obviously you're going to
have Tour, which should be afree pack-in game, at launch.
Nobody's buying that game it'scoming out on the 5th and
obviously Mario Kart World.
So either you're going to getit at launch or you got the

(43:00):
pack-in title so you have itwith the switch too.
But obviously they came outbecause you have the uh donkey
kong bonanza coming out.
I got that pre-order like fiveweeks later, july 17th.

Yeah, as well as you've got the uh drag, drive
it looks like a poor man'srocket league, but yeah, it
looks, it looks interesting, butwhat it's, what it makes me
think of, is the uh, what's thatboxing game on arms?

it kind of reminds me of the weird concept
of ARMS.

They're doing another weird concept game.

Based off what I've seen, you kind of feel like
it's probably going to have thesame level of success that game
does.
It'll be talked about at launchand then it's just going to
probably peter out.

ARMS is really good, but they just didn't
expand upon it, they didn't doenough with it, so I didn't give
enough content into it.
If they bring like arms againon the switch to.
I mean, potentially could belike a series that they do.

But yeah, you know, I'm actually surprised
that you know we haven't heardanything on that, but I'm not
either but yeah, and thenobviously you've got Kirby air
routers coming sometime laterthis year, I assume sometime in
the fall holiday season.

Yeah, that'll be a must grab for me.

Yeah, then they obviously highlighted more of
the Switch 2 editions, soobviously the Zelda games will
be there at launch Later in themonth.
You've got the Mario PartyJamboree plus the Jamboree TV,
which would be the big one.
Yeah, we'll have to stream thatfor sure.
Yeah, august 20th.
You've got the Kirby Forgot,forgotten land plus the star
cross world that comes out forthe switch to edition, and then

(44:28):
what we are kind of already knew, the pokemon legend za and the
metroid prime for, uh, we'll gettheir own switch editions.
They said late 2025 for za andthen just 2025 for metroid.
So yeah, based off what they'resaying, that means metroid will
come out before pokemon, andpokemon is probably going to be
a holiday launch time, a holidayrelease yeah, yeah.

And then you brought up I still haven't seen
anything about it but you saidscarlet violet's going to have
improvements on the switch too,right?

that's what I heard, but I don't know if we
got a hard date or what exactlywe're getting from that.
And because we know there's alot more uh games that are
getting upgrades than these.
This is just what Nintendopushed out, that they were
advertising.
So this is probably noteverything.
This is just there.
Obviously they're they're bigstuff.

What I will say, every single one of these I'll
be getting, cause it's allseries and games that I love and
thankfully I actually don'thave.
I beat Kirby in the forgottenland, but I don't have it and I
need to own it.
Uh, my only switch collectiongoal was all first party games,
which is very doable.
I mean, that's hard to do.
I've got most of them.
Now there's only a few missing,like some of the mario sports

(45:30):
titles.
I'm missing arms.
I'm missing the one two switch.
Um, you know, I don't, I don'twant to buy it, so it's like I'm
holding off on it.
But that's my only, and that'llprobably be my only collecting
goal for the switch to as wellas just get all the first party
games, which is like super easyto do.
I like having, like you know,easier collecting goals like I'm

(45:51):
doing.
The call of duty set got anotherone in today.
Didn't show what I forgot Ialready put on the shelf, but if
you can't see behind me righthere, I bought a whole new shelf
because of all the games I justshowed off and continue to get.
So I had to get a whole newshelf today, 55 bucks for it.
It took me.

(46:11):
Oh my god, this is embarrassing.
It took me like two hours toput together.
It said it should take an hour,so Did you get it from Walmart
or Ikea?

I?

got it from Walmart.
I wish.

I would, I would.
That should take you like fiveminutes together then it
literally says on it one hour.

Oh no, there's no way you can do that in 20
minutes.
You had, you had to use, I hadto use a drill, I had to use a
hammer.

Um the different driver more than like the, the
cheap one, like 20 one g buyyeah, I didn't buy the cheap 20,
it's a big one.

It's a five shelf, one one.
So it's the biggest shelf.

The two that are behind me this is a bookcase.
This black one I got fromWalmart, that was a cheap one,
and then the one over me that'san actual proper bookcase right
here.
I got from Ikea Significantlymore money, took me
significantly more time to puttogether but it's obviously
better.

Everything from Ikea is better, though the billy
cases they have are like uh,absolutely perfect for video
games, anime, manga, movies umthey're just expensive.
So it's hard to to spend themoney that was the only reason I
was like I needed it now,because I've got these stacks of
games and cards and stuff justsitting here so I had to get

(47:22):
something now to put up.
So since I showed them off, I'mgoing to put them all away.
I've got them all logged in mygame I already.
As soon as they came in I justum took a screenshot of the upc
and put them in there.
But that's a that's a great wayto log your games, know what
you have.
Like if you're gone and can'tremember if you have a game or
not, like you can pull it up onyour game.

I yeah, I don't know if you use game I what I
started using to log.
Oh yeah, it is game I, becauseI just uh, yeah, I started
getting it because I was tryingto log what I had I could see.
Obviously, I don't know theit's good for a pricing.
I don't remember what I spenton half these games, but just to
be like, what do I have and nothave?

yeah, I don't care about the price.
The pricing is off because thebest pricing you can get is
recent ebay sales.

That's the the most current price that you can
get you can track, which it'sjust nice to be able to like.
All right, what do I have?
What system do I have it on?

yeah, and you can even track.
Like, if you don't have amanual for a game and you're
gone, you're at a convention,you're.
You need a manual because youcan put it in here like do you
have a box?

is it complete in box?
Is it just the game and stufflike that?
Obviously some of the newergames just don't have a package,
so it's complete box, yeahitself.

But yeah, yeah, the new ones.
I just marked that that's gotit.
But, um, yeah, yeah.
So that's one of the the goodthings about.
But especially if you're at aconvention or a game store or
something like that and youcannot remember, like, for
instance, the call of duty set,that is really hard to keep
track of what I have, becauseI've got like the same game like
three, four different times forsome of them and then some of

(48:48):
them I don't, and I need theother ones.
But, like I got vanguardvanguard today for the xbox uh
series x.
I already had it for ps5, so Ithink it was ten dollars from
best buy, so I didn't show thatone off, but uh, yeah, which is
a really good deal I mean tendollars and I also didn't show
off that I got.
Um, uh, which one was it for?

(49:09):
15?

hold on, let me look real quick while he does
that, uh, some of the otherstuff that we had that they
published, obviously for thethird party software as well.
So obviously he had thecyberpunk.
He had Survival Kid, splitFiction, street Fighter VI
Bravely Default, yakuza 0,deltarune and Tamagotchi Place.
Not everything but TamagotchiPlace was all coming out,

(49:32):
obviously launch they had theTamagotchi later in June, story
of Seasons in August, and thenobviously the Hyrule Warriors,
age of Imprisonment, theDuskbloods and Hades 2 were all
coming at a later date that theywere kind of advertising.

So I really want people to support the Cyberpunk
release, the Story of Seasonsrelease and then the I don't
know why Rune Factory's not onthere, because it's coming out
on launch day.
But the Rune Factory game,those are all complete on cart.
So I want people to supportthose games, because the game
keycard is one thing I'm notliking about the whole Switch 2

(50:06):
stuff.
It's really frustrating.

I've got some more stuff to talk about in some
of the topics coming up, soit's really frustrating.

The whole game is, I think, ridiculous.
But you know what the thing isa lot of times, unless you get a
limited run game or strictlylimited or one of those
companies where a lot of themput everything on the cart, just
like my PS5 collection, like alot of those, you have to update
immediately when you put it in.

(50:36):
So it's like, yeah, some ofthem the game is there, some of
them, half the game is there.
So like it's a thing that'sbeen going on the game key card.
That happened during the switchcycle.
I don't remember if you rememberthe code in the box games.
It would be a physical game butit was just a code in the box
with no card.
You remember that?
Yeah, okay, so like they I meanthey've been doing stuff like

(50:59):
that for a while and there is alot of games that you could if
you bought on switch.
Like you would still have toupdate the game to even play um.
But yeah, I mean these gamesthat are fully on the cart like
I really want people to supportthem.
Like room factory I'm gettingum.
Uh, I don't know if I'm gettingthe story of seasons.
I probably get it later becauseI'd rather get a cheaper price,

(51:20):
but, um, I am getting cyberpunkjust literally to support that
and have another thing to playat launch because it is a launch
title.
Um, I've already played it.
I know it's a great game and it.
I know the performance is goodon switch too.
So, like I'm it's using dlssit's they went all out on it.
So, um, if they put gta 6 onswitch 2, I'll consider it.

(51:43):
I think there's a very highprobability.

I don't think it's going to be Switch 2.

You really don't think they want to hit that
audience.

I don't think the Switch 2 could run it, not
without significant downgrades.

Okay, we haven't seen any gameplay yet.

All we've seen is cinematics, yeah, but you know
it's going to be takingeverything that Are we showing
the trailer for by the way?
Yeah, we will, we will later.
Okay.
So between like, because I meanat the high end, like the
current consoles, like the ps5and stuff like that, has better
hardware.

It's a, it's a larger system so let me, let me
ask, even if it's in some ways alittle bit older, but, like you
know, I just don't.

I don't necessarily see the switch,
because the switch is going toplay cyberpunk, but, you know,
at a lower fidelity than you canon.
Yeah, but it's not bad either,it's, it's not well, but they,
they had to go and do obviouslyextra work behind the scenes to
make it work but it's like to methe thing.

The thing to me is like, why would rockstar not
want to hit a mat?
I mean the the just thepre-order cycle for the Switch 2
is already breaking records forother console releases.

Because I think they understand one of two
things.
One you have one of two thingsthat people be in the Switch.
2.
You're getting it for parentsthat are getting it for kids in
which this is not the market forit, or a lot of other people
that are adults that would playthat game.
They have other ways to playthe game.
They either have anotherconsole or a pc on top of the
switch to play it.
So they don't.

(53:10):
And so why spend the extra timeand development money on a on
lesser hardware, when you couldfocus it for your primary target
?

I get that on different systems it's just one
thing.
I'm not saying that it iscoming it, it's just one of the
things.
It's like why would they notwant to hit another massive,
massive audience?
But is it only coming toPlayStation 5, or is it coming
to Xbox as well?

What we understand, they're doing what
they did with the PS5.
It's going to come to consolesat launch.

And PC later.

It's going to come to PC.
Later it's going to come to PCpc, but they're obviously
probably like a year.

It's probably gonna be like a year later
because I know the gta5 took along time to come to pc, right I
?

mean, let's be fair, like they understand, the
pc is a really big market,especially with the gta, uh, gt
online the in the mods.
Whatever reason, it's just notit's not going to be a launch as
of right now it's not coming topc, mr coffee brought up.

Rockstar and nintendo are two very different
companies.

Rockstar has been on nintendo consoles like
manhunt was on we um, they'vehad they've had town wards was
on yeah, they've had gta gameson the on nintendo consoles
before.
Yeah, so it's, it's.

It's one of those things where, like, I
can't say yes, no, whatever, Idon't know.
But I just feel like it wouldbe hitting another massive
audience if they did.
But again, I probably would notbuy GTA 5 on the Switch, I
would probably get it on the PS5.
I know it's PS5 Pro Enhanced.

And you have to understand there's a lot of
crossover in the markets ofwho's gaming on what system.

Yeah, I know it's PS5 Pro Enhanced, I
personally would be getting itfor the PS5.
The markets of who's?

gaming on what?

on what system?
Yeah, I know it's ps5 proenhanced, so, like I would, I
personally would be getting itfor the ps5.

But I just think and I think they understand,
most people would rather play iton something else that just can
run it at a better frame rate.

But I wish it was coming to pc launch because
I'd rather get on that.
But it's one of those gameswhere it's like I definitely do
want to play that right away andI I think that if the GTA
Online is there at launch, wecould stream that.
You know what I mean.
That would be really fun.
People would love that, MrCoffee said, because Nintendo is
big enough and they are happywhere they are.
They don't mind watching Sonyand Microsoft kill each other.

(55:18):
To be fair.

Microsoft's doing a good job of just to take
themselves out of the yeah, butthen we're getting an Xbox.

Microsoft's doing a good job of just to take
themselves out of the consolerace.
Yeah, but then we're getting anXbox handheld, Just announced
this week.

They're going to go the handheld way, and yeah,
because then they're bringingthe.
I don't know if I have it inthe notes or not, but they're
bringing Gears of War toPlayStation.
So I'm like okay, that justguarantees you don't care about
the console market that's in ourname increase the price of your
consoles and then you'rebringing it to the playstation
like why buy an xbox console atthat point?

is.
Is that in our news?
By the way, I don't I don'tknow okay well, we need to talk
about that, because when theytweeted that out, like we've
seen stuff happen right, likeori's been on the switch,
minecraft is on everything, um,what else?
There's been some other stuff.
We heard the rumors.
Supposedly the Master ChiefCollection has also come to the

(56:14):
PlayStation this is a rumor.

I got the handle in the notes, but I don't think
I got that game specifically inthe notes.

That's crazy.
Playstation tweeted thatthey're remastered.

It's called Reloaded.

I don't know if it's a remaster or a remaster,
I'm pretty sure.
It kind of sucks because wejust played it.
It would have been cool to waitto check out the remaster,
because I don't know it's goingto be more of the same game.

I doubt they're going to add more content.
It's just going to run onmodern hardware and on the
PlayStation.
Cool, they're doing that.
Hopefully they do that for liketwo and stuff, and then we can
go back and play that, becausewe I mean to be fair they they
remastered one and they nevertouched two or three years ago.

Yeah, I know I wish it made no sense to me why
they they didn't touch the othergames.

But well, they didn't probably make enough
money for them to justify thecost I was a big series, though
it was like for yeah, and thenthey killed it after three.
They just decided hey, you know, we did really well.
Let's arguably that and maketerrible games with arguably
they did that with halo too, oh,they, they didn't.
Arguably, it's a fact.
They took all their popularstuff from the 360 and decided,

(57:24):
hey, you know this terriblemarketing for xbox one, let's do
that to the games and just makethem terrible.
And they did that yeah, I meanevery major xbox ip from the 360
era, and the xbox era just wentdownhill after that yeah, it's
unfortunate, it's reallyunfortunate um it's my hot take
it's not even a hot take.

Yeah, it's one of those things where it's like
it's just kind of the case, butum, yeah, I mean it's.
It is unfortunate, you know,but it is what it is.
So yeah.

And then, just because we were talking about it
, uh, there was a I don't knowif you've heard about the uh x
uh.
Rockstar dev mike gork came outand said uh, this was a quote.
You've got maricart for 90,it's 80.
But it's like a semantic to theargument.
It's like you think Mario Kartcompetes with a game like this
as far as how much stuff they'vegot to put in the game in

(58:16):
reference to GTA 6.
It's saying, even if they wereboth like $70 games, one is
going to just arguably have morecontent in the game.
But I mean, it comes down to Ithink they're different games
and I just think GTA 6 is goingto obviously make significantly
more money and it's going toshow in the end.

But Mario Kart games have always been so huge
that it's like I don't know howmuch it actually, at the end of
the day, matters, and plus a lotof people it makes a lot of
money for them.

It makes a lot of money, and I know that this
bundle, specifically, isexclusive to this year matters
and plus a lot of people, itmakes a lot of money for him.

So it makes a lot of money and I know that
this bundle specifically isexclusive to this year, but I
guarantee 100.
There will be other, likeholiday bundles of mario kart
Like every year, they do a newholiday bundle for the switch.

So, like the, no, I'll argue, because I wouldn't
be surprised.
Gta6 comes out at 100.
Yeah, it's probably going to bebigger, it's going to have more
content.
But you play Mario Kart for theracing.
They've always been replayablegames.
You're playing the same trackswith different characters and
different people.
It's kind of like a party gameis the way you look at it.
But I mean, this isn'tdifferent.

(59:26):
You look at the GTA 5 and MarioKart 8.
They're both $60, $70 gamesback then, and one, you could
argue, had significantly morecontent in it.
But you could put just as manyhours into both games, which the
problem with this is.
And I get what he's coming backand I kind of agree one's going
to be worth the higher pricetag than the other.

(59:48):
But it's hard to compare, say,racing game to like a, a
story-based rpg or afirst-person shooter, because
they're not the same genre ofgames.
Yeah, they've always costed,cost the same and you get
different, uh amounts ofenjoyment or different,
different hours out of gamesbecause, like even back in the
360 era, pretty much everythingwas a 60 price tag.

(01:00:11):
But one game you were alwaysyou may get 10 hours, one you
may gotten 110 hours out of.
I think this is just a biggerdiscussion because you're
starting to see a a rapid, youknow increase in prices of all
these games I guess.

Brandon Hurles (01:00:25):
I guess I get the argument, I get, I get the
argument, I guess my take it onthis is is that mario kart is
very, very replayable.
It sells a crap ton it's a verypopular ipad mario kart 8.
They put so much work and itwas a.
It was a remaster.
They put a ton of work in thatgame.
They added so much content likeit was crazy like they kept

(01:00:46):
meaning content they keptfeeding content until the end I
think this is one of those.

Mark Trobough (01:00:52):
At the end of the day, you as a consumer have to
determine what's the value thatyou put on a game totally
different.

Some of the audience is not even going to be
the same.
A lot of people that play GTA 6are not going to play.

Mario Kart.
You have a significant overlap.
You can have an overlap.
I feel like there's also same alot of people that play gta6
are not going to play more.
You've got a significantoverlap, but like, let's be fair
, but there's not I feel likethere's also not not an overlap.
At the same time, like you knowwhat I mean, they're totally
different games like completelydifferent yeah, like I spent 70
on a game, gotten 10 hours of 10hours or less of enjoyment.
I've spent, you know, you know,the same amount on a different
game and I've gotten hundreds ofhours out of it.

It just depends on on the game, the genre, and
then you remember also, nintendodid the first 70 switch game
for switch, which was, uh, tearsof the kingdom.
That was the first one they didso which arguably was worth it.
I've got over 100 hours in thegame, um.
But uh, dave said, well, youboys have fun, gotta go see you
tomorrow.
Alright, dave, see you later.

(01:01:50):
Appreciate you watching.
But yeah, I mean, it's one ofthose things that they're
totally different games, but Iget the argument.

So yeah, I didn't want to.
I don't know.
I feel like we've talked aboutit ad nauseum with game prices
at this point.
Didn't want to linger too longon it.
Apparently Indiana Jones andthe Great Circle have I can't
remember if you had a chance toplay the game prices at this
point, didn't want to linger toolong on it.
Uh, apparently indiana jones,the great circle have I can't
remember if you had a chance toplay the game or not oh yeah, I
love it.
Yeah, they're getting a newupdate later this month.
Essentially, it's mainly goingto fix bugs, but it's also

(01:02:22):
addressing a dual sense.
Adaptive triggers for the ps5and pc have now been fixed and
it is now steam deck verifiedwith this new update as well.
Oh wow, that's pretty cool, Iknow they're bug fixing and it's
coming to Steam Deckessentially.

Well, that's good to hear.
It looks like it's probablymostly related to PS5, but it
does say PC has been fixed.

I'm not sure so the real sense of Dactive
Triggers were an issue on boththe PS5 and the PC version of
the game.

is what they're saying that have now for people
like people that are Using thePS5 controller on PC.

No, the the On the PS5.
It was bugged on the PS5version, so the.
This is essentially saying thatthe there is an issue with the
PlayStation controller, whereveryou played the game at, with
that.
Okay, all right, gotchaessentially what they're saying
with this okay that makes.

I don't know if everybody ran the same issue,
but it was.

It was a bug, that was it was affecting people
.
And then, yeah, now you canofficially play it on on steam
deck, or it's okay, verified.
I don't know if you play itbeforehand, I don't steam deck,
so no, I think.

I don't think it was on steam deck before, so
that's, that's cool, that's a.

That's one of those games that it was like the
first game to do, the what's itcalled a frame gen did frame
essentially it's the frame gens,what it's using AI to create
frames that technically aren'tthere, to give you an artificial
, artificially higher frame rate, and I think that is now using,
like, if you have the correctgraphics card, if you have a 50

(01:03:52):
series, I think it is now usingDLSS 4.

So, it was using 3.5 before and it was great.
The game is great.
I absolutely love that game.
I can't wait for a sequel.
We know we're getting a sequel.
It did very well.
I think that was a greatMicrosoft release.
Like good on them for puttingthat out, but they're putting
out on PS5 and stuff now.
So it's one of those thingswhere I'm just a little confused

(01:04:20):
with Xbox, because I feel likethey are sort of going the way
of Sega.
However, they're trying to holdout as long as they can with
consoles, because we've got ahandheld coming out.
We also got the rumor foranother console, which is kind
of crazy to me, because theyjust we didn't bring this up
either.
I don't know if it's in thenotes, but this is huge.
I've seen tons of discussionabout it all over X, they raised

(01:04:42):
the prices of everythingXbox-related.
Did we show that last week?

I can't remember off the top of my head, to be
honest.
I think we did.

I think we showed the list.
But for instance, series xhundred dollar increase.
But they're already not sellingenough units like they sell,
but they don't sell like the ps5or the switch does?
They just don't.
They're, no, nowhere near thenumbers for those systems.
Um, so, like they're, they'rehaving a hard time selling the

(01:05:10):
console and then they raise it ahundred dollars and it's like
you already want the console.
So, yeah, I mean like it.
That does not help.
They're raising the prices ofall the different controllers
the elite controller, theregular controller, uh, the
headset, like it's just crazy tome.
Games, um, it's crazy to me.
Games it's crazy to me becausethey're already not selling

(01:05:31):
units.
So it's one of those thingswhere, like, I like my Series X,
but if I can play it on PC, I'mgoing to play it there.
There are stuff that I play onthe Series X that like come to
Game Pass there.
It doesn't come to PC Game Passand I think it's a great
console.
Before the PS5 Pro came out, itwas the most powerful console

(01:05:51):
ever.
Right, it was more powerfulthan the PS5, which was cool,
and you could see that in somegames.
But I think at the end of theday, the PS5 just had I don't
know what it was around it, butit was like when people were
trying During the COVID era,series X had the issue too of

(01:06:12):
not being available.
But, um, the PS five, I don'tknow what it is.
The demand was just so muchhigher for the PS five than the
X-Box.

I don't know it's just the next big thing.
Everyone was trying to get itReally.

They came out three days apart, so it's like
the X-Box series X, the XboxSeries X.
I went to the launch for it andthen I got a PS5.
The PS5 came out, I think,three days later, and I ended up
getting it three days later.
After that I got it from BestBuy.
But yeah, it's one of thosethings.
I'm not sure if it's just thePlayStation branding or what it

(01:06:44):
is, but it could also be thatthe Xbox One let's be real it
didn't do good.
I thought it was a good consolefor what it was, but it didn't.

It had a bad launch that they couldn't
recover from.
They don't want to launch theKinect stuff, like always being
online, the fact they weretrying to market more of an
entertainment box, not a gamesystem, and they just allowed
Sony with the PS4, to come inand just dominate out the gate.

I mean like the Xbox one is a good console and
like the game pass, like changethe game.

It was marketed terribly yeah.
That was its problem and thenthey just never pumped out like
the PS4.
Sony did such a good job withthe PS4 air of pumping out first
party games where, let's befair, microsoft just struggled
to pump out games to justifybuying it later down the road

(01:07:41):
and then outside of thedisastrous launch.

Then, before the series x, all the accusations
acquisitions acquisitions,acquisitions.
We'll get there.

Acquisitions started happening, so they've
got these huge companies likebethesda they've been sitting on
for for several years becausethey have to make games now well
, it's because these games takesix, seven years to make.

Now that's the problem.

Like they and they're all.

They're not making smaller games in between,
like they're not they shouldlike the ori series, like they
should continue with that.
It sells, it's on the switch,it's on pc, it's on xbox, you
can have a smaller, you spendless money.

You have a smaller studio and it allows the
studio to pump out other games.
So if the big one fails, you'renot sitting in the bag of
absolutely nothing like I don'tunderstand.

Like why was there not another ori in between
?
Like what they're doing?
Like why are they not doingother stuff?

and because they changed what they wanted to do
and they're just trying to hitthe.
They're trying to hit these,these home run games, to think
that they can always hit.

But you gotta you gotta have other games
coming.
That's the problem.
Right like that's a big thingabout xbox, series x is like the
drought of game.

I think it's a, that's a, that's a, that's a big
thing in general, like you usedto have, like these studios
used to pump out three games ayear and every few years they'd
have their big game come out.
They don't do that, they onlymake their big games.
They're not making thesesmaller games, they just stop
making them out right.

Yeah, I mean it's unfortunate.
Like I said, I love the seriesx, I think it's a great console,
but it's like if you end upgetting a pc and use pc game
pass and the game is availablethere, like I'm for sure going
to play it on pc.

Yeah, no and I guess I guess I don't know how
you feel about this, butessentially the indie market
took over because these fungames, you could argue, would
essentially be made by indies,probably sized teams for, like
the ds or the game boy or justyou know, a smaller downloadable
, you know 10, 20 game.
Yeah, they stopped doing thatand like let's be fair, like a,
like a schedule one or like arepo.

(01:09:21):
Essentially, style a game iswhat you would get between these
big game launches, uh, and youwould want, once in a blue moon,
get the indies.
Now there's like indie gamescoming out like every every few
months that are just massivehits because, yeah, these major
studios, just they, just theydon't want to, they don't want
to make money with low budgetgames apparently I'm not.

I'm not mad about it at all.
I think it's great that theseindie games are getting
attention I think it's great.

They're filling a need that the market doesn't
have right now because,especially on top of the quality
of the triple a is dropped off.
Because they just dominated forso long, they got complacent
what do we always say?

schedule one does not look good.
It's about the gameplay.
Is the game the?

graphics were never what's up it's.
You could argue the samebetween.
Gta6 will look better thanmario kart, but if mario kart's
a fun game to play, that's allthat matters, then it doesn't
matter.

That's, that's my take on it.
Like the game doesn't look good, but the game is really, really
fun.
That's all I care about.

I don't care about like I think the character
faces in the oblivion,remastered, look terrible and I
hate it, but it's still a fungame and at its core it's still
oblivion yeah, it's a.

It's a.
It's a great.
It's essentially a remake.
I don't know why they called ita remaster.
They redid the whole game.
It's great.
The faces again is because ofUnreal Engine 5.
That's the problem.

That's my biggest complaint.
Other than that, the game isgreat.

To be fair, I've only got four hours into it
Because Claire Obscure came outand then You've got Doom coming
out in like a week.
Doom comes out in six days, bro.
I am so excited.

The problem is there's so many games coming out
, it's hard to keep up with allof them.

It really is, but Doom is one that was one of
my number one games for the yearthat I was excited for, so,
like I am the mech that you getin and fight like, essentially,
giant kaiju.
It's crazy, like the game, andit's an it's essentially an open
world doom game, which isinsane.
They've added so, and this is aprequel to the 2016 game.

(01:11:23):
This game looks amazing.
Like I can't wait.
I'm going to try to stream it.
Um, but I'll definitely beplaying it.
I would like to stream it,though.
I know so many people that areexcited about this game.
I've had it pre-installed on mycomputer for like a month, so
I'm really excited to play it onPC and see how it looks.
I know it's taking fulladvantage of everything on PC,

(01:11:46):
even taking advantage of theSeries X.
It's really going all out.
I've seen, like the series xfootage and it still looks
absolutely fantastic, uh, butyeah, I'll be playing on pc.
I'm I can't wait.

I'm so excited yeah, but uh, I guess, moving on
, we are getting rumors that wemight be having a game that
hasn't seen the light of daysince the ps3, and that is.
There's rumors, essentially, ofanother motor storm game uh in
development, but from stellarentertainment possibly nothing.
Nothing's for sure, but this iskind of what is being talked

(01:12:18):
about behind the scenes, thatthis ip may be getting uh
revived it's the old ps3 traileris what's really cool about
motor storm was.

I have two of the PlayStation 3D monitors.
Right yeah, motorstorm was thepacking game for that and it
looks amazing in 3D, like sogood, like they did a perfect
job.
That's a perfect packing titlefor it.
Obviously, a lot of peopledon't they are doing.
I just got a notificationSamsung's doing new 3D displays,

(01:12:50):
monitors now I don't know ifyou've seen it.
No, I didn't hear about it atall they just they just launched
like they just went up for sale, but they're doing like 3d
monitors again, which is crazy,um, but yeah, I mean, yeah,
that's how I played it and Ithought it was awesome.
I loved motor storm.

So much fun I've got small, fun, smaller games.
Why ignore these?
Because, let's be fair, they'resignificantly cheaper and
faster to make and if you hit itout the park you're making so
much more money compared to howmuch money you put into it.
You don't need 100, 200 milliondollar games as your only games
.
You can make a 5 million dollargame and it sells so great.

(01:13:30):
You can make 15 million dollarsand you tripled, you know,
tripled your, your investment.

essentially, yeah, so that is this just
called motor storm, or is therea subtitle for it?

it's just motor storm, because that was from the
e3 2005 trailer.

Okay, yeah, yeah , I mean it's an old, it's an
older game yeah, it's an oldergame, but good series man.
I forget what the subtitle forthe, I think it's called.
I can't remember the subtitlefor the one that's it's a PS3
game, obviously for the 3Dmonitor, but it's really really
good and definitely something.

I really like, because they said there were
also hints that PlayStationmight be revitalizing other
games like Patapon, freedom Warsand Everybody's Golf, some
other stuff I will say thisEverybody's Golf, next to Mario
Golf, are the best golf games inmy opinion.

They're arcade-y , right, so it's like an
arcade-y sports game.
And then Patapon is absolutelyamazing.
I loved it on the PSP hopefullySony decides to super fun.

Make some good changes.
Get some smaller studios, makesome of these older IPs.
You don't need 50-100 milliondollars put into every single
game.
You can have a 10 mandevelopment team make some of
these smaller games and they canstill do well and make money.
So Matlong.

Gaming just brought up Pacific Rift.
That is the one that's.
A pack development team makesome of these smaller games and
they can still do well and makemoney.
So Matt Long Gaming justbrought up Pacific Rift.
That's a pack-in title for the3D display.
That's the one I played themost.
I played a ton of hours on that.
I've even got my 3D glassescharging right here.
I got some new ones.
Just got these ordered on eBay,but they're OEM.

(01:15:11):
They still got the stuff onthem and everything.
I haven't used them yet.
But uh, I've got five pairs ofthem and the battery is dead and
all other all four pairs that Ihave other than this.
So and I actually uhinteresting fact I have a
development pair of the glassesthat is USB connected.
That was used for development.

(01:15:32):
I got it from a PlayStationdistributor who set up at
conventions, who had allPlayStation stuff.
It's all stuff that she got.
She had prototype stuff.
I got a prototype.
I have a prototype PS2.
It's a.
It's a, just the unit, likethere's no hardware in it, but

(01:15:52):
it was the design mold that theywere using and it came in a box
.
So it was like they use it forinvestor meetings to show and it
was for the PS2 Slim.
I have that and I bought itfrom her like $20.
Dang, it's worth like $400.
It's crazy, but I mean it'scool because it's like a
prototype of the the ps2 slim,right, so it's like it's a

(01:16:15):
really cool thing.
Um, but yeah, it's really neat.
Off topic, but you know we gooff topic I wasn't wrong going
off topic.

It's all right, we're here, uh, but I guess
going in specifically, uh,because it's like like two
different things, butessentially cyberpunk.
The devs came out and said thatthe, the physical media, is not
going anywhere.
Essentially, they're like no,this is, like you know, the
right thing to do with withkeeping physical media, and
they've been quasi kind of vocalabout, you know, that physical

(01:16:44):
media, you know, shouldn't justgo anywhere yeah, that's
fantastic to hear.

I mean as well as I kind of agree that it isn't
going that way, because we'realready looking at the key card
stuff, which is?

it's the same thing, it's literally as of
right now, cd project right,it's pretty much the same.

Like nah, we need to mention some level of
physical media so I'm so happythat they're not doing that and
that's why I'm buying the gameon, and I already own the game,
um.
That's why I'm buying on switchto edit for one.
It's going to really put theswitch to to its limits for me
so that I can see that I knowit's a great game.
It's got all the content, allthe bugs are fixed.

(01:17:21):
It's running at 40, 40 framesper second.
It's not 60, but it's betterthan 30, um, and then you know
4k doc dlc and stuff.
4k docs, yeah, 1080p handheld umI.
To me it's like, yeah, they'redoing a great thing here.
I think it's fantastic.
This was very, very surprisingto a lot of people.
When they saw that cyberpunkwas coming to switch to, they're

(01:17:43):
like, oh, this is no joke okay,it's on a switch to before it's
on steam deck or any otherhandheld not even.
Yeah.
They have no, yeah, not evencoming to steam deck, as far as
we know which is crazy.

Yeah, I mean maybe the Steam Deck 2.
Not until the Steam Deck 2,essentially.

Yeah, I mean the Steam Deck 2.

I'm sure it'll come to that, but right now it's
crazy Because 100% they needsome form of DLSS to get this
game running on handheldhardware.
It did not run like absolutecrap.

They came out and said that that it is using
full dlss and 100 they're.

They're getting every, every piece of juice out
of the switch to hardware.

So what I've heard from some inside people is
that the dlss that's dlssthat's being used for switch is
essentially like it's its ownversion.
That's around 3.5 to4, so it'sproprietary, it's its own
version of dlss, so there's nonumber attached to it.
But that's the scale that it'sat, which makes sense, because I

(01:18:40):
mean, when cyberpunk came out,it was dlss 3, 3.5.
Um, yeah, so I mean it makessense.
You know, with the 40 seriescards it went to 3.5 and and it
made sense and that's what itwas on PC, but it also didn't
come to PC until later.

So yeah, because they were also coming out and
said this came from the somebodyfrom the studio called Jan
Roster, I don't know.
Apparently they advised whatthe studio essentially said came
out and said not tounderestimate the physical

(01:19:17):
edition of the switch becausethey the whole game is on the
switch dlc, it's great,essentially they they were noted
as saying that the uh, theywanted the cartridge, cartridge.
I swear I could speak to be aplug and play experience.
Then this is the right thing todo, like this is, I agree,
should not be going away fromphysical.
At least one, one major studiois saying no, we're not going to
go away from physical media.

This is why I have to support getting this
game.
I had to, because that is Imean.
That is so to me, that is soimportant.
It's so disappointing to seeall these great, fantastic games
.
You got Street Fighter VI onethrough two years edition coming
out.
It's a game key card, so I'mlike I I'm not I'm just getting

(01:19:52):
on the ps5.

What's the point of getting into that point just?
But you just buy it digitallybecause there's nothing on the
the card, right?
So the cartridge?

as of right now.
For me, the games that I'mgetting at launch are the new
damon x machina game, uh, rudefactory, the new room factory,
um.
Cyberpunk and then Mario KartWorld.
That's what I'm getting atlaunch.
I do already have Donkey Kongpre-ordered, but that comes out
weeks later.
So those are my four launchtitles.
That's what I'm getting.
I love Rune Factory, great RPGseries.

(01:20:21):
I think it's fantastic.
All those games are all on thecart.
To me, the only reason I'd everbuy a game key card version is
if it happens to be like a superdeal and it's cheaper than
getting it digitally already onthe switch.
So I'm just like you know, youknow what I mean like if I find,
yeah, some for ten dollars andyou look on the e-shop and it's

(01:20:42):
still 40 bucks, that's the onlycase I would ever buy a game key
card if there was a sale, um.
But to me, I don't like, Idon't want to collect game key
cards because it's it'sabsolutely pointless.
You put it in.
And the other problem is youput that.
One thing that nobody's talkingabout is you put that thing in.

It's got an update and for a lot of people
it might take an hour or so likeyeah, if you're on, if you're
on like some kind of wi-fi,you're not hard plugged in.

Yeah, it's it's, and maybe even a couple hours,
like I've had when I got the ps5you know how big the game is
four hours to get that thing setup like a 50 to a 50 gig game
over.
Wi-fi is going to take a hotsecond to download for sure, and
they've got 64 gigabyte cardstoo, yeah, so it's like that's
going to take a while todownload.
People are going to be reallydisappointed when they see the

(01:21:29):
game key card stuff and a lot ofit.
A lot of the sales are going tobe people that don't understand
or know or probably don't evencare.
Someone may even be accustomedto it because of updates on, you
know, the PS5 and Series X.
That you have to do thatsometimes take forever.
If you don't have fast internetit takes a very long time.
So it's one of those thingsthat it's unfortunate that this

(01:21:53):
has been the case for so manygood games that are coming on
switch to, like street fighter 6, it's coming to switch to with
its own brand new version andit's a game key card.
Um, it's just so that all theall the cap are all the sega
releases, every one of them allgame key cards.
So sonic, sonic Raidu, which isessentially part of Persona,

(01:22:13):
the Persona series.
What else is Sega doing?
I think there's four titlesthat are coming out from Sega
and they're all game key cards.
It's unfortunate.
Hey, shout out to Downing1082.
How's it going, man?
And then Matt Longsix said didyou get Mario Kart World
digitally?
I forked over money to get itphysically, so I did.

(01:22:34):
I got the bundle, but I willabsolutely 100% buy the physical
when I get it for a way, way,way cheaper price.
Because I am going to have thegoal for Switch 2 to have all
the first party titles again,which is all very doable.
I mean it's not like a crazygoal or anything.

(01:22:56):
First party that that's what'sdoable.
There's not everything on theswitch.
Yeah, absolutely not,absolutely not.
But yeah, the that that was my,that's my goal for the switch
one.
I hope to complete that oncethe switch shoe comes out, start
buying those and hopefully morediscounted games.
But uh, yeah, so a lot, a lotof ps4, ps5, xbox games are just
like, uh, game key cards theyare, yeah, a lot of them on the
game yeah, there are and, likeyou said, a majority.

(01:23:18):
It's just not advertised.
It's not advertised.
A majority of the games thatare on the disc come from
companies like limited run,strictly limited, um companies
like that where, like, the wholepoint of is to have the whole
game physically.
Like that's the point of thosecompanies.
So like uh, yeah, for instance,a gimmick here, right, like

(01:23:38):
this, is a limited run release,fully on the cart.
There is no update.
You know what I mean?
Um, so like that.
That that's one of the greatthings about those companies.
Now they have done limited runs, had a couple of releases where
updates just came.
They came out after thephysical version of the game
came out.
So like there's nothing you cando about that.

(01:23:59):
Like that's, you can't controlthat.
If there's more content laterwhich is like, then you do have
to download that, but uh, yeah,I mean I will fully support
these companies that are puttingit all on the cart.
So you know what I got to sayabout.

Yeah, and just to clarify, essentially it's just
the.
It's like a download key that'son the thing.
So instead of plug it in, it'sjust going to.
It's the key to download thegame onto your system.

Yeah, you get a physical.
You get a physical cart, butthe game's not on it.

Essentially, yeah , there's essentially nothing on
it, so, cart, but the game'snot on it.
Essentially, yeah, there'sessentially nothing on it.
So it's like what's the point?

just just print off the, the cardboard paper
that you just type the code in,exactly, so it's literally doing
the same thing doing acollection for those like really
, really silly, because youdon't even have the game to play
on the the cart, you have todownload it.
Yeah, you're just.
You're just basically gettingit digitally.
That's the concept there.
Uh, mr coffee said if you wantto play old games on xbox you
need the disc.
It doesn't run off the disc asto download the games and the

(01:24:54):
disc is just the key to play.
Yeah, there's, there's a lot ofthose that it is the key to
play it for sure.
So at least nintendo is kind ofbeing up front about what it
actually is yeah, I'm glad theyare doing that that, because I
mean that I think it's importantthat they are actually that's
being put, put out that, hey,these games aren't so we, I
think a lot of people don'tunderstand that these, these
discs a lot of them do the samething.

They're just not telling you.
At least it's not out in front.
It might be on the back whereyou have to, like read the fine
print.

And I will say this most people are not us.

And they don't care.

Most people don't care because we know the
digital sales are crazy high.
So, like a lot of people, justaren't even buying physical
period.

So I mean, people still want the option to play a
physical game, but they justprobably get the bulk of what
they want.
They might get one or two ofgames that they really like to
have like a physical collection,yeah, but they don't.
They don't care to havephysical or digital, or they
just don't have a lot of room.

Like for me.
Here's a great example.
Like we were playing MonsterHunter and we got that at launch
and I was going to get it atlaunch for the PS5.
You kind of convinced me to getit for PC, so I'm glad that I
did.
I think that was a greatdecision.
The PS5 version is fine,especially if I have PS5 Pro.

(01:26:10):
It looks much better, but I'mglad I got that on PC.
However, that is a game I will100% buy the physical for at a
later date when it's muchcheaper, because a game like
that is something I do want toown physically.

I do that for some games like on Steam because
you can get them really cheap.
Yeah, because I prefer to playon PC.
But if it's a game I do reallywant, I'll get like a cheap used
copy years down the roadbecause I can just, you know, 5,
10, 20 bucks the way I see itis like a lot of the game,
unless it's like an indie gamewhere it like absolutely doesn't
matter, or it's like you canonly get a side scroller or like

(01:26:46):
uh, something really like youknow kind of smaller scale that
isn't going to perform better onPC than other stuff.

I don't care, but I do prefer a lot of games
like Doom.
I 100% will buy the physicalfor that, but I'm playing it on
PC at launch.
There's no doubt about itTaking full advantage of DLSS 4,
I'm really excited about it.
I've had to succumb to dealingnow with digital a lot more

(01:27:15):
because of PC, so with thatplatform it's fine for me, but
there are the bulk of the time.

You're getting games on PC, you're getting a
Steam sale, you're getting 50%or more off, so you can get them
heavily discounted.
There's a, there's a trade-offthe only, the only full price
games I bought are games that webranded games yeah, most more
often than not, like you, if youwait for a steam so you can get
a lot of games, I essentiallysay dirt cheap.
Yeah, there, I think it's atrade-off.

Plus, I know the steam sales for years have been
great, so I'm, I'm, that's likethe.

Those are like the only time you should be
buying the bulk of your library,outside of anything that just
came out that you really want toplay.

I don't know when the next Steam sale is, but
I'm looking forward to thatProbably, I guess the summer
Steam sale.
Okay, yeah, I'm looking forwardto that because I'll definitely
be buying up a bunch of thecheap games.
You see some of those games onthere that are normally $20, $30
.

You can get them for games.
You know, you see some of thosegames on there that are like
normally 20, 30 dollars.

You need like three dollars, five dollars,
like 199, you know what I mean.
Like really really cheap.

Well, because they've been out for a while.
They might be some jrpg gamesor games that are like 20 years
old and you just buy.
You can get them so cheap.
It's just like I get thephysical, but like it's like a
two dollar game I'll tell youwhat you 50 hours out of.

I'll tell you what I do support.
I know that you're not as biginto GOG, but their new
preservation program thatthey're doing, oh my gosh, it's
crazy.
The games that they arebringing out so like Theme Park,
like Theme Hospital.
I don't know if you rememberthese old PC games.
They were basically, like youknow, like Zoo Tycoon and Roller

(01:28:53):
Coaster Tycoon, like it's thesame concept, like these games
that I played back in the day.
They have this brand newpreservation program to save
these games and I think that isamazing.

Digital emulation is kind of where that's going
to have to be.
Because of the, it's easier topreserve like a PNG file than it
is a physical photo, because ofthe medium.

They're literally going after games that
are stuck and are nowhere else,a lot of old PC games, which I
really appreciate, because noneof those are available on Steam.
They're doing their ownpreservation program.
I buy from gog right now morethan I do steam because the
sales are absolutely crazy good.

(01:29:36):
Every week they have crazy gooddeals like super cheap.
It's like um, it's like thesteam sale every single week for
games like there's just so many.
And the other thing Iappreciate is it's DRM free.
So I really appreciate that Ilike Steam, but I like so much
that it's DRM free on GOG, solike I like way more GOG games.

Steam allows you to put DRM or non DRM where GOG
probably says if you'republishing, it has to be
probably DRM free it's one thingthat scares me because, like
we've seen, games taken awayliterally on your consoles, like
removed If you own it that hashappened.
There's been games that havebeen delisted on steam, but they

(01:30:18):
it's such a way that you canstill read, download the game.
You just can't buy it.
Yeah, there's already the gamethey still allow you to read,
download the game.
I've never run into that thatbeing you to redownload the game
.
I've never run into that thatbeing an issue, and I think
that's the right way to do withdelisted games that if you've
bought it, you can still accessyour game, that's always like
the biggest issue I can'tremember what it is.

I'd have to look .
There was a steam game that wasbeing delisted that I bought
specifically because it wasbeing delisted in two days.
So I was like, okay, yeah, Ibetter grab that.
Now I'm gonna try to see if Ican find it.
Oh it was.
I think it was.
Psychonauts was being delisted,so I bought it.
It was like really cheap too.
Um so, and great game.
So I'm pretty sure that's theone that was being delisted.

(01:30:59):
As of now, I've got 100 steamgames, apparently so, but I have
way more games, way more.

I haven't bought a lot of steam games in quad.

I haven't, like, spent a lot of money I mean the
only ones I bought are straight.

The games that we straight, I mean they to be
fair, like they do they do steam, they do sales.
It's just not the big salebecause I just pulled up right
now there's a paradoxinteractive publisher sale,
publisher sale.
They say up to 90 for certaintitles, but like it's not always
they do sales all the time onall these platforms that you can
get some of these games reallycheap.
If you're willing to wait andshop around.

I'm looking at right now.
This is crazy to me.
You look at the front page ofGOG and it's like there Hold on,
let me see if I can share it.
Let's see, you're going to try.
I'm going to want to try.
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, might be able to share it.
Uh, please ensure you grant allnecessary permission and try
again.

Okay, well, maybe just because I want to say
because, like you can getstilaris right now, which is
really popular, well uh,strategy game it's like 10 bucks
right now these are all on thefront page.

So they've got Doom 2016, $3.99.
On GOG, Breath of Fire 4, whichhas just been brought to GOG,
which is a must-play RPG.
If you are a fan, If you likethis series, this is a must-play
game.
I will be grabbing this, butit's $9.99.
But I'm looking below here andI'm looking at some of their
other ones.
They've got an old PC gamecalled Robin Hood, the Legend of

(01:32:31):
Sherwood $1.19.
Motor Racer 2, $1.19.
Star Wars, Episode I Racer $10.
Motor Racer 3, Gold Edition$1.99.
Never Winter Nights, EnhancedEdition, Digital Deluxe Edition
$6.82.

(01:32:52):
And then another game, King ofDragon Pass, which is an old PC
game $2.15.
So it just goes on and on andon.
They've got so many GOG is.
I love GOG, I really do thesales on.

It are crazy.
There is a trade-off with PCand it being a digital-only
platform.

I mean.
The way I look at it is, I useall of the launchers because
Amazon Prime will give you a lot.
I claim every game from that,whether I'm one player or not.

You should just use all the launcher, because I
mean, why not?
Yeah, I mean, I even got.

Epic Games because they give free games
away all the time.
There's a free game everysingle week on epic game store,
so I get the free game.
Um, yeah.
So I mean, like, why not?
It's free, I'm not going tocomplain that it's on a
particular launcher that I don'tplay on that often.
Like if it's free game, I'lltake it.

(01:33:47):
Yeah, it's one of those things,especially if you, you know
you're on a, you're a budgetgamer like it's a great deal, uh
, and it's a cool thing thatthey do.
It gives you a new game to playand uh, like I don't care to me
, like we just talked about allthe physicals I have to me.
I don't care where I play it,as long as I'm having fun.
There are certain games that Iwould prefer to play on pc, but

(01:34:09):
all I care about is having funwith the game, that's it.

Yeah.

I don't, I don't care about anything else.

It should be like , the main goal of gaming is
just to have fun.

Yeah, I mean, that's what it's about.
Like, I don't care, I don'tcare what I'm playing it, I
don't care if I'm playing it onNES, that's literally all I care
about.
So to me, like the, the graphicstuff does not matter, it's all
about gameplay and being fun.
Um, so that's just my take onit.

No, yeah, completely.
Um, I mean speaking of consolegaming.
Uh, uh, playstation Sony haslaunched a new feature,
essentially a what have yourecently, recently?
Recently played a feature, yourlittle hub, uh, so I don't know
what.
You can see this essentially onthe bottom.
It's like, uh, elden ring, youknow just now, and stuff like

(01:34:59):
that.
Uh, okay, over it, oh, my god,I gotta man, I click it.
You know you can see, likerecently, what you played and
stuff like this.
And then I assume so thefeatures shown information about
a user's most recently playedgame, including time played, how
many times it's been played inthe past and the trophy

(01:35:20):
progression and more.
I don't know if this is goingto be available for other people
to see, but at least you cansee what you've done recently.
I think it's.
It's a helpful thing to have onthe front page instead of
having to like for sure some ofthis information I agree with
that.
Yeah, yeah, that's cool and thisthis highlights it a whole lot
more and stuff like that.
So I, just to be fair, like Idon't I've been on steam so long
.
This is kind of steamessentially has this, depending

(01:35:43):
on how you have your layout setup, but it's yeah, I'm so used
to this being a thing on steamthough I keep forgetting it's
like not, at least not out inthe open like they have it on uh
on here right yeah, but it's a,it's a, it's a neat little
thing.
Obviously it doesn't matter awhole lot, but it's an update
you're not paying for and it'sjust, you know, neat to be able
to see.
Like you know, what have youdone recently?

(01:36:04):
You know the hours played lastturf.
You've gotten stuff like I like.

I like cno see the analytics for your gaming,
your games, like what you'veplayed.
Yeah that's.

That's another benefit like this has been a
thing for so long.
I play so much on pc and I'mdefinitely just kind of like
used to stuff like this.
Yeah, and I've got it.
I've got it laid out like I see, like the top like 10 games
that I played in order and it'seasy to go.
You click the game, you get alittle feed of you and the
friends like when have youordered, when have you gotten
certain achievements and stufflike that, your play time and
stuff.

(01:36:34):
So yeah, it's good at least amore helpful way to see some of
this information is is coming tothe consoles, at least to
playstation.
And then I haven't played xboxhardly ever, so I don't know
exactly how it works on that Idid want to quickly mention.

This is obviously going to be mostly for
the live viewers, but if youare an audio listener, it comes
out in time.
Right now, on amazon primegaming, wolfenstein 2 is free.
Uh, lego, star wars a completesaga, amnesia rebirth and star
wars galactic battleground saga.
So there's also um hypnospace,outlaw mine, minecraft Legends

(01:37:09):
for PC and Xbox, doors, paradox,and there's a bunch of games
here.
So there's tons.
If you haven't claimed lastmonth, there's a couple good
ones like Thief, gold, blood,omen, legacy of Kain, god's
Trigger, mafia 3 DefinitiveEdition, mafia 2 Definitive
Edition.
There's some really good stuff.

(01:37:31):
So I highly recommend, if youplay PC and there's often Xbox
ones on here too so I can claima game on PC and Xbox.
For instance, I did that withWolfenstein 2, and I also did it
with Minecraft Legends.
I claimed it on both, which isreally cool.
So if you have an Xbox, they doXbox games as well.
But I did want to mention thatit's a for for budget gamers.

(01:37:51):
It's.
It's a really good deal.
You already probably haveamazon prime for orders, so it's
like one of those things.

Yeah yeah, uh.
So like the next thing I knowthey kind of brought up uh, I
don't know how much you've heardabout this, but essentially, uh
, it was updated in the useragreement, but nintendo is
pretty much saying that they maybrick your, your switch if
you're caught essentiallymodding the console and it

(01:38:18):
connects to the internet.
They're essentially doing thisin a way to combat, uh, piracy,
yeah, piracy on their, on theircurrent consoles, which I know
it feels like a hot topicbecause a lot of people like to
to jailbreak their consoles,though usually if you're doing
that, you don't want it toconnect to an attendo server
anyways.
Yeah, because it can causeissues, uh.

(01:38:40):
But I I've seen a lot of peoplecome out and like this and like
, oh, you know all in favor ofthe piracy, but I've kind of
been of one like I don'tnecessarily see this as a
problem because one I don't mindpiracy when there's no way to
play a game.
It's an old concept.
You're not making money forpreservation.
But I get it.
We're about to go to Switch 2.

(01:39:01):
I'm not necessarily in favor ofpirating games.

I don't agree with pirating current games.
I don't agree with that.
But pirating games are notavailable for a platform or like
the Everdrives for NES like theEverdrives for NES, super
Nintendo, sega Genesis.
You know all those.
Those are all ROMs I have onthe cart, but like you can't buy

(01:39:26):
them, you know what I mean.
So it's like I do it for theseold games when all my Everdrives
are filled up.
You can't buy them.
So it's like yeah, I, yeah, soI, I, I do it for these old
games.

All my Everdrives are filled up Cause it's
preservation.
Like these you've already madeyour money.
These games are decade plus outof print, some of these games
three decades out of printprobably, almost.
Yep, almost never coming backand stuff.
I guess technically they'rebringing it to NSO but, like you
know, oracle of Asian seasons,like these games, like these
you're not really, unless theycompletely remastered like

(01:39:53):
they've long since made theirmoney.
I really get it for currentconsoles.

I really hope the next 2d Zelda it, because we
got links awakening and thenand then we got, uh, obviously
the other Zelda game.
I'm really hoping that the sameteam that did Link's Awakening
does Oracle of Ages, oracle ofSeasons.

They just start touching all these games, All
these old Game Boy Game BoyColor games.

Yeah, it'd be great if they did that.
It really really would be,because Oracle of Ages is one of
my favorite Zelda games period.

I would argue, if we're going to do Ages and
Seasons, they should just makeit one game.
That's what I'm saying.
They would have to technicallybecause to get the final ending
you have to own both games andhave a link cable.
That's the final like.
Let's be fair, they, theyhopped on the pokemon hype train
at the time and I just don'tthink it worked out well for
them.
With the, with the dual release, uh.

(01:40:44):
But I mean, then again, I alsowish nintendo would stop with
the dual releases, but I I kindof get why they do it.

Even for Pokemon .

I still wish Pokemon was like a single
release thing.
I don't mind it for Pokemon.

I love getting the double packs and stuff.

I think it's cool because if you're trying to
complete the Pokedex for anygame, it's a pain if you don't
have two consoles.

But is it a pain if you enjoy the game?
Is it really pain if you?

I enjoy it, but like, let's be fair because you
could look back in the day, youessentially needed three.
You would get like two or threeversions of the console.
Uh, ideally you, your friend,would have a different one and
then they would come up withthird version.
But you'd need.
If you got the third version,you'd still need the two other
games to complete a poke.
Yeah true, you'd have to stillhave to trade with both and it
was in that aspect it was a pain, was a super pain.

(01:41:28):
But if you just like playingthe games, it's less of an issue
.

Matt Long said do you like the Hyrule Age of
Imprisonment?
Yeah, we're both buying thatfor sure, we're looking forward
to that.

I like the Age of Calamity the way that works.
Yeah, I'm really excited for itand I'm hoping this is the new
between releases and this iscanon, this is canon, this is
canon too, so that's good tohear.

So I guess I thought Age of Calamity was
technically canon, butapparently it's not.

It's canon as far as it technically takes place
in an alternate timeline, butit's still it's.
I think that robot was from thetimeline of the games, but when
it went back in time itessentially creates a separate
timeline.

If you have watched anything with time
travel and alternate timelines.

That's essentially what that was doing.

But yes, I did like Age of Calamity.
I'm a big fan, I really likethe game and hopefully on better
hardware.
Better hardware, you don't havethe performance that's the
problem with Age of Calamity isit does have some severe
performance issues when you have100 characters on screen.

Well, you have like 50, 100, yeah, on screen.

Which is hard to do.

It makes sense as well.
As apparently, this is anothergame from, apparently, on June
16th with physical editions.
We're getting the Gex Trilogyby Limited Run Games and they're
starting pre-orders today, may9th.
I am getting it for sure.
Yeah, they're saying pre-orderstoday, may 9th, I am getting it
for sure.
And there are, yeah, they'resaying it's featuring widescreen

(01:42:54):
resolution, uh, better analogcontrols.
And they say the three physicaleditions are standard classic
and the tail time with, they say, unique bonuses.
I'm sure it'll be on their site.
Uh, talk about another ip.
That's not gotten any love yeah, I, I love gex.

I'm a huge fan.

I played on pt back in the day and they're okay
.

So if you love, if you love any of the 3d
platformers like super mario 64or banjo kazooie, like you would
really like gex gex is so good.
This is one I haven't boughtfrom limited run games in a
while, besides the ones I've gotfrom Amazon.
I am for sure getting this game100%.
I love Gex so much.

I'll say this If you love this game to where
you're willing to spend $200 onthe Tale of Time Edition.
It comes with the ClassicEdition contents, excluding the
soundtrack CD, the collector'sbox, a 36-inch inflatable Gex
doll, a 7-inch Gex statue, gecollector's box, a 36-inch
inflatable Gex doll, a 7-inchGex statue, gex trading cards, a
remote pin and the fullsoundtrack CD.

essentially, I'll tell you what the box looks
pretty badass.
They're going all out on thecollector's edition.
It's got a lot of stuff with it.
It's got a lot of stuff with it, so I mean it seems like a
pretty good can I seem like thisis the $200 collector's edition
.

Oh, you're showing it, yeah okay.

So I mean like there's a lot of stuff there, so
I I don't know what I'm goingto do yet and I love that the
classic edition it has a it'sps1 style limited run on the
side there.
Yeah, you got the ps1 style.
So I played on pc and ps1, or,sorry, I played on pc and
nintendo 64.
Back in the gex 2 I also playeduh, which I think was gex 2,

(01:44:41):
undercover I'm, or that mighthave been three, I can't
remember, but I played gex 1 and2.
I love those games so much andI rented ge Gex 2.
I own Gex 1.
I'm really excited about this.
I love that it's all threegames for one in the same
package and the one here.
I have one complaint.
My only complaint is why isthis?

(01:45:03):
Because of the date why, isthis not coming?

to Switch 2?
Well, switch is it's backwardscompatible.

So it's just for the timeline, it's just
compatible.

So it's just, I know, but it's like for the
timeline, it's just put it onthe switch cartridge and then
it's backwards compatible.
It's less of an issue for themlike the pre-order is only I
don't know.
To be fair at this point, it'sbetter for them to have it on
the switch.
If they have to pick one, yeah,because you, because you can
play they don't, they don't needit on the switch to the switch
has a big install base and youcan play it on Switch 2.
They don't need it on the Switch2.
The Switch has a big installbase and you can technically

(01:45:31):
play it on both, so to them thatjust seems like a win-win.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to
grab on this, whether I want tograb it for Switch or PS5.
I'm not sure yet.
I got to think on it.
But yeah, I'll have to think onthat.
One Matt Long said uh.
Matt long said I I was a superrare games gold member last year
but that did not seem to domuch.
Did not buy a ton from them.

(01:45:56):
I've never done the goldmembership but I bought games
from super rare games.
Nick also said inflatable dollis weird oh, it's an inflatable
doll.

You get a lot of them.
Always look weird, to be fair.

And then uh, no, super rare games are not on
amazon.
Limited run games are beingsold on amazon, and that was.

I got three of them for ten dollars, so yeah,
uh, just wanted to run through afew things to get to the, to
the big stuff.
Uh, just make sure I wasgrabbing everything.
Uh, let me just a second no,you're good when can talk about?

whatever I'm not .

Yeah, it's like there's like four things at
least I did want to hit up.
Uh, the first one.
Not surprising, um, to me.
Let me bring this up.
People are already reportingthat the the stores are getting
ready for the switch two, whichis not surprising.
It comes out a month.
Uh, this was taken from fromsomeone posted this to to reddit
, but essentially they're.
But essentially stores likeWalmart they're getting ready

(01:46:51):
for the Switch 2, so they'reobviously getting their displays
ready to go here probably inthe next few weeks to advertise
it and stuff like that.
It's a neat little thing to seeand expect.

Yeah, matt, I got them all for $10 each.
I didn't get three for $10.
They were $10 on Amazon.
You got to watch out for sales.
I suggest following Warrior64,cheapassgamer IGN Deals and
those are like the three mainones that tweet out the deals
for video game stuff and evenlike Pokemon cards and stuff

(01:47:28):
like that, so I definitely wouldfollow them on x.
I get their alerts, so that'show I see them.

So yeah, and then obviously, because you were
talking about it earlier, aboutthe the clear, I think they said
we're going to get morephysicals, they just have to
make more of them about yeah,I'm so mad it's I didn't get a
physical and it's being scalpedyeah, because they were, they
were, they were talking about.
I had to pull it up.
I don't know why you do this.
There's a $90 one right here,$1,400.

(01:47:54):
This person's trying to sell.

That's stupid.

The collector's edition.

That's money laundering of that.

I mean most of them.
You can get it around $100.

I didn't even know there was a collector's
edition, Like for this.
I love this game.

I would love to get a collector's edition for it
.
It's one of the best RPGs I'veplayed in a long time, To be
fair this one at $325 is a lotmore reasonable.

That's a limited edition, gamestop exclusive.
See, I didn't even know.
If I knew that that editionexisted, I would have bought
that For sure.
I don't know if it was gamestop.

That might be just where they bought it.
But I mean, like I get the 1400, like I wouldn't, wouldn't
recommend paying this, but likethis is a more reasonable price
for the, for the collector'sedition.
But it is unfortunate andhopefully at least just the game
itself they'll.
They'll get more physicals outthere because it's obvious
there's a market and they didnot make enough for everybody.

I mean they did it with the Lunar Remaster
collections being sold the sameprice like $100.

I think what happened with this I thought we
talked about it was they justdidn't expect this game to be
this popular, so they weren'tprepared for the amount of
demand they were going to havefor the Lunar Remastered
Collections.

Like why would you?
This is a new company, so likeI can understand their point of
view, but like GungHo doingLunar is like why would you
think that wouldn't sell?
I'm confused.
Like the games are like $300 apiece by themselves on original
hardware.
Of course it's going to sell.
People want it at an affordableprice.

(01:49:30):
They want to be able to playthe games.
You don't have to spend $1,000to get all the games from Sega
CD, sega, saturn, all that stuff.
Of course I don't know.
I think it's a little weird.
They didn't expect that, but itis a new company, so I give
them that.
I hope and pray that I'm ableto get a physical copy of it

(01:49:55):
because I love the game and if Ilove the game, you know, 100,
150 dollars absolutely not dothat.
I don't, I don't buy above msrpever yeah, I wouldn't recommend
it.

Just, it promotes that, that kind of crappy
behavior.
Yeah, I don't promote that atall.
Speaking of scummy behavior, eaeveryone's favorite company
love the segue.
Uh, they came out and said, asof right now, they're not going
to raise their game prices.
Uh, but that is right now.
They essentially said, like youknow, we might in the future if

(01:50:28):
market conditions stay right,which means it's only a matter
of time before EA raises theirprice.
They want other companies totake the brunt of the negative
PR and then they're going toquietly just increase the price
of their games.

That's the way I read this.
Yeah, they both said thatthey're not going to raise their
game prices for now, despiteindustry trends, but then also
said CEO hints at possiblefuture price changes, which
means that they're coming.

They're just, they're gonna wait.
They want the heat to blow overbefore they do it themselves
and, to be fair, ea has comeback better now.

Now it's like ubisoft doesn't work right.
Ea was like he's also about togo out of business.
Ea was was rated the worstcompany of anything for multiple
years.

They're still just a scummy.
They just don't get theheadlines anymore.
The same practices they weredoing back then.

I think they're better because people Aren't
talking about it now.
I don't know.
I don't play a lot of EA games.

Nothing's changed .
They're not grabbing those.

They lost me with Battlefront when they did
the new Battlefront games Likethat was ridiculous.
That was ridiculous.

The problem was they just let other companies
take the brunt of the PR.
Like, if you ever play an EAgame, you're like, oh my God,
they're just trying to steal mymoney.

It's all over their games.
I know all about the Barbie 3DSgame.

I was going for a full set and I stopped.
I know all about it.
Yeah, right, and then I guessthe the last uh thing before we
get to to our main topic is uh,I know brandon he is.
He loves bubsy so much he's gota fursuit of bubsy.
I've seen it for myself.
Don't let him lie to you, Iknow he has it yeah, I have it.

It's in my closet right now.
I I only put it on special days.

You're the wrong tab, but no, essentially what
they came out and they said theBubsy in Fractured Furry Tales
is going to be a part of this.

It's a Harry Jaguar game, by the way, which I
love.

Yeah, which will be a part of this collection
that's coming out later thisyear.
Essentially, I will 100%.

Buy that collection.
I do like Bubsy.

Except for Bubsy.
This year essentially I will100 buy that collection.

I do like bubsy um I think, except for bubsy and
3d was terrible, bubsy, 3d isterrible.
Oh yeah, they got it, but thebubsy, the bubsy game on atari
jaguar I really like I haven'tseen.

I've seen gameplay that you're like what
are you supposed to do this?
It's just like straight porgons, that's all there is.
Like you can count the amountof character it's the most
different bubsy game.

Of all of them that I play, the one for the
atari jaguar is the mostdifference.
It's kind of strange, but onceyou get the hang of the controls
it's pretty fun, uh.
But like the other games, likethe super nintendo game I like
personally.
Bubsy 2 I like personally, uh,it's just.
Bubsy 3d is like the bigproblem.
That's where it started to getits heat.

It essentially killed this IP.

It killed the IP .
But I 100% will get this forsure.
No doubt about it.

Now we got a lot of Bubsy fans out there to make
sure we hit that up.

For sure, matt said.
Have they confirmed that Switch1 games will play better
performance on the Switch 2?

Some will, if they have an upgrade, it's for
sure, but you assume that thebetter hardware will just
naturally allow games to runbetter.
But we only know, for if wewon't know, until we actually
have the uh, the only we canplay the games the only thing we
know are the games that saynintendo switch to enhance.
So far, that's the only one fora fact.

I'll put my outfit on sometime.
It's so cool.
Man Furries for life.
I do not have an outfit, guys.
By the way, mark is like.

I was just messing because it was funny.
I don't know.
We get enough donations orsubscribers, then Brandon has to
.
He gives me the side, look.

No, I wouldn't give you a side.
Look sorry, I thought you wereunder attack so I was trying to
probably do my daughter's sex tome.

You were doing that and then I got a message
and I thought it was you.
I was like, oh, what's hemessaging me?
I was like, oh, it's somebodyelse.

Who's messaging you?
Mark, your mother, special lady.
Oh, my mother, okay.

My mother's dead.
I'm like, oh, that's what youthink.

Oh, okay, all right.

And that's the response.
I haven't changed oh.

Yeah, Mark is the furry guy.
He's even a brony.

I will throw hands over that accusation.
I have a reputation to uphold.
Thank you very much.
I prefer the term weeaboo.
Thank you very much.
I'm much more high class thanthat.

Okay, all right, yeah, You're a little better
than some people.
I will say.

You're not writing My're not writing my
little pony fan fiction in thatinstance.
Yeah, but uh, we just kind ofmentioned it beforehand.
Doom the dark age.
Yes, uh, the pre-loading begin.
They say the pre-loading begins.
Uh, what's it the 11th and itlaunches on the 15th, I believe.
Yeah so they say preloading'son the 11th this weekend, and
then it comes out thursdayessentially.

Uh, yeah I'm so excited about to be this.

This is the next uh hype game, probably the
biggest hype until the switch 2comes out yeah, I think so.

This game is crazy because doom 2016, doom
eternal were already fantasticgames.
They went on a way larger scalewith this game, where it's
essentially open world based onwhat they said and showed, and
you get the chance to get intogiant mechs to fight kaiju-like
battles.
You get what was it?

(01:56:04):
Was it a dragon?
I think you get a dragon aswell to fly on.
I can't remember.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you get adragon to fly on as well, like
the combat system that they'redoing.
It's different than the othergames and it's really good.

It's what you'd hope for, Like you can see, look
at this combat here.

So if you're watching the video you can see
some of the combat.
But the combat is different.
Like you get a, they turn acollar and then you can attack
them.

This is the mech it looks like on screen.
Let's see, yeah, if you'rewatching, if you're watching the
stream on yeah, look, yeah,here's what's happening right
now?

it's giant kaiju and the mech and stuff so you
get a dragon and you get like agiant mech to fight like kaiju,
like monster.
Look at that.
That's crazy.

They're just they're just cranking up the
insanity to like a thousand andit's gonna be.
It's gonna be insane and thisis a prequel.

This is a prequel to the other games too,
which is crazy.
So look at this premium edition.
You get up to two days earlyaccess, future campaign DLC,
digital art book and soundtrackdivinity skin pack.
So, um, I have it pre-installedwith game pass on PC.

(01:57:17):
However, I'm wondering if Iwant to buy this on PC and get
the Premium Edition.
That zoom in didn't work at all, because I definitely want to
play this game on PC, but thisis a game I will also very, very
, very much want to ownphysically, so I guess I'll have

(01:57:38):
to decide.
Right now, I have itpre-installed for game pass, but
, um, preview edition.
I don't care about the two-dayearly access, necessarily, but
the other stuff's pretty coolyeah, so hopefully you can see
this fairly well.

But, like new york, early access is on the
12th.
It launches on the 14th.
Essentially, uh, I believe it's8 pm Eastern on the 12th for
early access.
And no, yeah, they just did thesame thing.
So I don't know, I don't knowthose times.
I think those times Are justfor the regular launch and I
don't think we have the hardtimes for early access.
But this game launches on the14th, 8pm 8pm my time, right,

(01:58:16):
yeah, and then it's 5pm on theOn the west coast, essentially,
so it's Unlocking at the sametime.
It's, uh, 5 pm on the on thewest coast, essentially, so it's
unlocking the same time.
It's just your local time.

The game, uh, unlocks I mean that's cool, like
I I don't.
I've never cared about that,that early access stuff, uh.
But the other stuff's cool andthis is a game.

I'm very, very you want to pay an extra 40 to
pay this.

Play the games two days early I think I
probably won't do that because Iam playing pc and I want the
physical for it.
So I think there's no point forme to probably buy it on PC
when I am going to buy it on.
You know, buy it physically toown for my collection.
So I probably won't do that.
I'll probably just play it onGame Pass and then buy the
physical at a later date, Ithink.

Yeah, but there was a catch coming out so we
haven't gotten hard uh uhinformation on this, but it's
being alleged that, uh, therewill be essentially, they say, a
little data on its physical uhversion, resulting in you still
needing to download the bulk ofthe game with the disc so
essentially we don't know forsure outside of the, obviously,
the, the patches and the updates, but that the fact that the

(01:59:24):
disc essentially may act asmainly a key to download the
actual game.
Yeah, so it's just that's beingpart of the game like we don't
know that yeah, that's, that'sunfortunate.

But um, I will say you know, obviously I'm
physical all day long, uh, everychance I can be.
But this is such a big gamethat it kind of makes sense that
they're doing it that way.
I kind of get it I don't know.

I don't know how big the blu-ray discs can get or
how big the game is.
I mean to be I would think okay.

So I would think technically this should be able
to hold the whole game.
However, I think it's just easy.
I'm not saying, obviously Iwould love to have it fully on
the disc because I want to buyit physically to own it, but
it's like you still got todownload stuff, kind of sucks.
It could potentially this gamesurpass what the Blu-ray can

(02:00:15):
hold.
It's possible.
I forget what the hold rate isfor Blu-ray.
Maybe we can look it up.

I mean, you can look, I was trying to figure out
how big the game was on Steam.

So maximum capacity of Blu-ray disc depends
on the type.
Single layer is 25 gigabytes,dual layer 50 gigabytes and
triple layer is 100 gigabytes.
Quadruple layer is 128gigabytes.
So this is definitely past thequadruple rate.

I'm assuming yeah , so because, as I say, on the
system recommendations on Steamthey're saying storage 100
gigabytes of available space.
So it's a larger game.
In theory they could put it ona disc.
I don't know if they want tospend the money.
I don't know how much of thegame was was I'm assuming the
layers cost more.
You know the bigger 100, itdoes, and they just don't want

(02:01:07):
to pay for it.
So they're like no one's gonnacare, they're gonna buy it.
It's essentially a digitaldownload that that part's
unfortunate um I mean to be fair, like if that's essentially, if
that's the actual thing, atthat point I why even bother
getting a physical?
Just I would just buy it onsteam at that point, not care
about the physical, but that'swell I'm for sure playing it on
game pass.

I mean it's already got pre-installed like I
play it free there on game pass.
But um, yeah, I'll have todecide if I would want to buy it
on pc or still just get a ps5copy for the shelf.

Um, we'll see yeah, I guess I haven't pulled
up because on the recommended uh, either one in amd zen 3 or
intel 12th gen cpu at 3.2gigahertz with eight cores, 16
threads or better, and then forthe graphics, nvidia or amd
hardware ray tracing capable gpuwith 10 gigabytes dedicated
vram or better.
Examples are the rtx 3080 orbetter and then the rx 1600 or

(02:02:03):
better.
As far as the recommended specsso recommended is 3800 with ray
tracing, essentially raytracing what is there?

do they give any other stats above the
recommended?
That's just the right.

That's just recommended graphics.
What's the minimum?
I'm curious.
Uh, the minimum graphics?
Uh, nvidia or amd hardware, raytracing capable gpu with eight
gigabytes dedicated vram orbetter.
Examples the rtx uh 2060, superor better and the for amd the
rx 6600 or better.
So essentially, if you've got a, not a higher end on 2060, if

(02:02:41):
you've got a better graphicscard, what they're saying, you
should be good, like, if youhave a 40 series should not have
a problem.
Yeah, for sure you're not gonnabe able to max it out because on
the recommended settings thatwas for a 1440p at 60 fps high
quality.
This minimum was 1080p 60 atlow quality this does support um
dlss4.

So if you have a 50 series card, whether it's a
50 70 ti or 50 80, 50, 90, itdoes support dlss4.
So I know that obviously you'regoing to be able to max out
with that, but a 40 series wouldrun this fantastic too yeah, it
should for the most part.

Yeah, at the very least, if you're trying to run
it, you know no higher than 1440.
Well, my mom, I only have a1440p monitor, but obviously if
you want a 4K you're gonna needa higher storage.
But it's pretty obvious thisgame is going.
You're starting to get to thepoint where ray tracing hardware
is going to be a requirement,moving forward.
Yeah, as they just like they're.
Just it's, it's not.
It's less of an option and it'smore of a of a.

(02:03:38):
You need to have some level ofray tracing in the game, so you
need hardware pretty much whichmeans you're going to start to
need to upgrade to a probably atleast a 30, a high-end 30
series, if not just straight toa 40 series yeah, I think so too
.

I think so too, plus, uh, or just you have a
constant like the games that arenow doing.
Frame generation is likeanother thing, which is like a
50 series thing.
That's, I feel, like going tobe a big deal for a lot of games
that are coming out.
This could be using framegeneration, I won't know the
next console, that's.

That's going to be like.
Required ray tracing framegeneration yeah, or dl, dl will
be like required on the nextbecause, like frame, generation
is a new big the new big thing.

Right, like it's , uh, it's the new big thing for
the 50 series.
So I think that and it makessense it maxes out your frame
rate way, way, way, way higherthan it normally would be.
So if you're normally runningat 120 hertz, you might be
running at 350 hertz.
Or 350 frames per second.

(02:04:42):
That's what I'm saying.
So, yeah, I mean like it's,it's, uh, it's pretty crazy.
So I just claimed all the twitchprime games.
I felt like it took like fivehours.
Well, if you stay on top of it,it shouldn't take that long.
I did it while I was live onhere with the other four there
was only four new ones.
For me it only took a second.
But crap, I don't want toupgrade.

(02:05:03):
Yeah, matt, I forget what youtold me your setup was, but I
think that you're probably inthe area to upgrade your
graphics card and CPU, if Iremember correctly.
But I think that maybe save itup for that to upgrade to
something you know affordable,like a even like how new games

(02:05:23):
trying to play 50 70 ti would berelatively affordable.
Now, even if you went with a 40series um you would be, you'd be
fine.

So like like a 40 80.
You'd be more than more like ifyou bought like a 40 80.

You'd still be good for like three, four years
but like now they're doing, youknow obviously the 40, what is
the 40?
50 it's like.
Uh, I think it's like 400, Ihaven't I haven't I'm not like
remember date all the time, likeI really but there are some
that are that are affordable forthe 50 series, but it's

(02:05:59):
obviously much lower, probablythe 60s and 70s would be the
more affordable ones, I wouldhave to guess.

And if you could get a TI, get the TI, because
usually those are better, thoughObviously you want to do your
research on what's actuallybenchmarked to perform better
and stuff like that, oh, youhave a 3070?

Well, I mean that's, it's hard to say because
the 3070 isn't too bad.
It's like borderline for theneed to be probably be in at
least the 40 series.

If you're going, I'll say that you probably get
another year out of the 30, outof a 3070, before it just starts
to become minimum specs maybe,yeah, maybe, especially the
frame generation stuff that'shappening, the V-catch, the you
know.

I don't know, it's hard to say for sure
Because remember.
I keep it on your list topotentially upgrade the.
If you've got an i7, notterrible, I have an i9 14th gen.
I'm actually considering, Mark,I haven't talked to you about
this, but I know we talked about.
You know we're like prettyIntel with the CPUs, right?

Yeah, it's just always who I've used.

I'm thoroughly considering getting an AMD CPU
because the VRAM.

I've heard a lot of people say it's just better.

Yeah, for gaming , 100%, like Elder Scrolls, for
instance, you can't use thevcatch I think it's called
vcatch or vram, it's vram okay,so you can't use the vram.
I have the i9 14th gen.
That's the highest for thestandard intel.
So there's also intel ultrawhich is meant more for gaming,

(02:07:37):
but it still does not competewith the AMD, like 9950 X three
D.
So like I was thorough and I'mhaving issues Like there are
things that I noticed in elderscrolls that are bothering me
really bad because I'm not ableto use that feature whatsoever.
It's not even available on myCPU.
You could see the screentearing.

(02:07:58):
That happens.
You can see it in the movement.
You can see it in the movement.
You can see it in the combat um.
And it's unfortunate because,like I mean it's still I at the
time pay like 600 for my cpu um,but you know I do other stuff
too.
So it's one of those thingswhere I have to like highly
consider if I want to do that,because amd cpus are really

(02:08:18):
meant for gaming.
Most of the standard AMD CPUsare meant for gaming.
They do make a workstation-typeone that you can buy as well.
It's much more expensive.

It's one of those things where Intel was on the
top for so long but AMD is justgetting better now.
So now they're essentiallymaking better hardware.
Yeah, and I agree you hope it'sa back and forth, but they just
kind of like one gets betterand the other has to do
something else to kind of getbetter.
But I think I've heard yeah,amd is probably like the way to
go as far as the uh, yeah, cpusI have never used amd for cpus,

(02:08:55):
even like with my laptop stuff.

It's always been intel, even back in the day
it's always been intel.
So this is something I've justbeen considering because of the
games coming out with the vram,like I don't even have an option
to use it with elder scrollsand you can tell I don't like
that.
I can tell like it's verynoticeable, very noticeable that

(02:09:18):
I'm having issues and I have a50-90.
But the thing is I feel likeit's already, with Elder Scrolls
, getting kind of what's itcalled where it's.
They're not, like you know,jiving together like one of
them's getting you know.

I don't know exactly what you're trying to
say you gotta have.

you know they gotta I forget what the term is
for it.
One's getting like kind oflocked out.
I don't know what the term is,I forget what the PC term is for
it, but you got to have them.
They both got to be goodtogether.
Essentially, you meanbottlenecked, yeah, bottlenecked
.

I think it's actually getting bottlenecked
with that, which is still yourcpus you're getting, your
performance is maxing outbecause of your cpu.
Your gpu is not not maxing outperformance, essentially correct
.

I think, because I have a better gpu, that it is
not going well with the i9 yourperformance is capped because
your cpu can't keep up with therest essentially exactly that's
what I was trying to say, that'susually why you want to upgrade
those together and you wantthem to be able to do the same
thing.
I did.
It only gets a CPU like fivemonths ago or something.

(02:10:29):
So I've not had it five, sixmonths ago.
I haven't had that long.

Then again, to be fair, this could be a thing
that, until recently, thesegames weren't using, so you
weren't seeing, they weren'tusing the vram.

But like you see it, with oblivion, it's like
it's bothering, like itlegitimately, while I'm playing,
is bothering me.
There's some things I canignore and just you know deal
with.

You can go into the settings and tweak it to
where you don't.
You're lowering some kind ofgraphics, but you're you're
you're getting rid of whateverissue you're having by tweaking
your settings.

As far as the performance goes, oh, you're
welcome're welcome, matt, forthe Twitch sub.
No problem.
Yeah, we appreciate youwatching, hanging out and all
that stuff, so I definitelywanted to give you that sub?
Yeah.
So what do we got next?

I guess, talking about PC hardware, the Xbox Asus
handheld was leaked a few daysago.
Yes, essentially, the next ROGallies essentially a hybrid with
Xbox.
Essentially, it's being rumoredto be.

Both.
There's both a new Asus and anXbox version Asus as well.
So this is the one that we'vegot here for the Asus Xbox
handheld, which is white.
Now, what I don't know is theone that we've got here for the
asus xbox handheld, which iswhite.
Now, what I don't know is thedifference.
My guess is that this one isstraight out of the box with
game pass I'll probably almostguaranteed it's going to just

(02:11:52):
plug and play with the some kindof xbox operating system but
what I'm thinking is and I couldbe wrong, we don't know yet
because we don't know thedetails, but I'm thinking this
would actually be better thanbuying the other Asus, simply
because this is ready to go withGame Pass and you can probably
still do all the other stuffthat the Asus Rogue Ally does.

I mean, obviously we've got time.
There's no official, so wewon't know until they officially
announce this.
But now we know it's comingbecause it was leaked.

Essentially, I mean, we knew like six months
ago.

But now we actually have, like this is a
thing coming.

Yeah, and there were the rumors that they were
going to be working with anothercompany and it is like ASUS, I
would say, is what you can tellby the sales obviously is bigger
than the Steam Deck, betterthan the Steam Deck.

Steam Deck's been out for quite a while.
The Steam Deck 2's long overdue, to be fair.

Yeah, it really is.
They did a Steam Deck OLED,which was a cool upgrade, but it
was kind of like the Switchsituation.

It was just new screen.
There's no real hardwareupgrade.

OLED's great, but it was like, yeah, there's
no hardware upgrade, so it'slike these games are are
requiring more and when you havea pc handheld like, it gets out
of date pretty quick yeah, it'sabout like you, that you need
to be constantly upgradingbecause the games are getting
new hardware they can perform on, like every every two years you
essentially would need a newhandheld yeah, yeah, I mean I, I

(02:13:16):
think that we'll see.
I want to see the moreinformation on the other regular
Asus.
But I've told you over and over.
I said I think I probably wantto go with the Asus Rogue Ally,
just because I do know theyperform much better than the
Steam Deck.
Now if the Steam Deck 2 comesout and it runs like because
they were adding SteamOS even toRogue Ally, so it's like at

(02:13:39):
that point like point, likeessentially is a steam deck too,
as well as like a windowsmachine you can play.
You can play, uh, game pass,you go.
There's so much you can do onthese handhelds, uh, on the asus
handheld.
So if they're doing steam os onasus, it's almost like why
would you buy a steam deck atall when you can have a system

(02:14:00):
that does way more than justSteam?
That's where I'm at.
So when you sent me that, Isaid more than likely I'll buy
the Xbox version just becauseit'll come out of the box with
Game Pass.
But if it still has access toeverything else like the other
Asus, like SteamOS, then I'lldefinitely get that version.

(02:14:22):
But if not, because I've beenholding out for the next Asus
ROG Ally or Steam Deck 2,depending on how they you know
the launch of them, because I dowant a PC handheld, but right
now I just I don't want any ofthe ones that are currently on
the market.

Because you're going to buy it within a year.
There's going to be a muchbetter one.

Even the Asus ROG Alloy X, which is $800, by
the way, it's a beefy handheldbut it's already being out of
date because of the VRAM stuffand the frame generation and all
this stuff.
So PC development there's.

So much happening .
All every year there's newhardware coming out.
It's just a matter of howquickly game development right
and like.

Not only you like it's more because like
let's be fair.

Ray tracing has been a thing forever.
It's just not been a mandatory.
It's been an optional thingthat you can add to.

But it's not like the primary thing now you
have what's the other thingcalled?
That's like ray tracing, butit's supposed to be better.
Indiana jones does it.
It's called uh, I don't talkabout it's kind of yeah, yeah,
it's, it's like the betterversion of ray ray tracing.
What's it called?

daggone it um, uh , you'd have to look it up.
I can't remember off the top ofmy head yeah, I'll see if I can
look it up I it, I know it,it's.
It continues to add more andmore stuff, but, like, as that
stuff becomes essentiallyhard-baked into the game
development, it requires newerhardware and that's always the
racing path tracing.

That's what?

yeah, because it's always the issue with with
pc hardware, where with consolesyou're good for like six, eight
years, with the play, where pcit's like you know, every like
you know four to six years.
Realistically you need to belike upgrading your hardware you
don't want to be falling downto like minimal specs and stuff
like.

The thing that I appreciate about consoles is
you very rarely have to worryabout your game just shutting
down, uh, for no reason at all,like the weird pc stuff that
happens like but it's like atrade-off provider for
constantly better performance.

But you have to make sure you're you're putting
money into it to get betterperformance out of it for sure
flexibility and mods andeverything else that you can do
on pc, as well as everythingelse that a pc does yeah, uh, mr
coffee said I'm okay with juststeam deck.

The other one's not sure, for how on you will
keep getting software updates.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I'm definitely holding out forthe, the next iterations of the
PC handhelds and then I'lldecide.
Then I'm not going to rush intoit because the Asus Rog Alley X
, which is the best one on themarket right now, it's very
powerful, very powerful handheld.

(02:16:54):
It's like $800.
So I'm just going to hold outand just see what happens with
these other releases.
Steam Deck 2 could be like 2years away for all I know.
We haven't seen any physicalstuff for it.
But the Asus ROG Ally wasprobably the route I was already
going to go, because Steamannounced Steam OS on the other

(02:17:17):
platforms.
So it's like, if I can alreadydo Steam and a bunch of other
stuff, why?

would I get it.
I'm all for only play steam I'mall for steam os because I'll
be damned if I get microsoftwindows 11.
I refuse to get it.
It's got so much crappy malwarebaked in you, ready for you,
ready for 12 I mean 12 is gonnacome out another 2 years anyways
, I want to go back to 7personally.

I mean, 10 is definitely better than 11.
But I would like to go back toXP, just saying nah, let's go to
Windows Millennial 2000.

Let's get real, that was a really bad upgrade.

That was really bad.

That's one of the worst Vista was really bad too.

Millennium was really bad too.
Millennium was really bad aswell.

No, brandon's like no, I want to go back to 96
, actually I mean Windows 7 wasgreat, right.
I think it was peak in design.
They just kept updating Windows7.

I disagree.
I think XP was peak in design,but Windows 7 was great.

Windows 7 was where they were.
They peaked okay I don't know,but if you're like me and you've
been living under a rock, youmay not know, but I assume you
do know.
We got a trailer 2 for gta 6around the same time that this
game has, a year before itactually comes out.
Because it comes out, may nextyear it got pushed out yeah,

(02:18:39):
delayed, they say to,essentially more or less to to
get worked on.
It's still not expected to cometo pc at launch.
It's, you know, still those two, but they're essentially giving
themselves another six to eightmonths of development time
while there's no gameplay shown.

It looks beautiful and we're looking at
1080p right now so what's your?

I put a tdp just because I don't want to
interfere with the stream andstuff like that, and it's going
to be hard to see the 4k.
But yeah they came out and theysaid this was captured in game
using a ps5 and it was comprisedof equal parts, gameplay and
cut scenes according to rockstargames I mean this is crazy.

It's not even pc and it looks fantastic.
Obviously they're trying to geteverything out of the the ps5
and the xbox one and, to be fair, they've had longer than like
anybody ever to make the nextsequel to I mean to befair
five came out on the 360 in thex3 it's.

It skipped a whole, you know generation of of
consoles.

So I guess like the whole concept of this is
like a Bonnie and Clyde typestory, from what I understand,
which could be pretty cool.

It's an interesting take on a GTA story
Because they've always had a lotof content and they've always
been fun to play.
But they've always had a prettydecent story in all the or most
of the gta games.
Now, gta1, I'm pretty sure, waspretty loud on the story.
But yeah, I have seen a reallyfunny meme about this where it's

(02:20:10):
just like, uh, or it was a vand pan am, like, oh, v and pan
am finally back and you looklike.
Oh, those characters look verysimilar to the V and Pan Am.
I'm not gonna lie.
Yeah, male V and Pan Am, if tobe specific, obviously, but yeah
, for sure.
I thought it was a funnycomparison that one of the one
of the screenshots they made,I'm curious the engine on this

(02:20:31):
because like the faces lookreally, really good.

I don't know.

I'm pretty sure they're using proprietary engine
.
I'm pretty sure this is aproprietary Rockstar.

Well that would make.
It would make sense then,because, like, faces look really
good, actions look really good,the movements looks natural,
the hair movement even just look, it looks like what you'd
expect from from rockstar, andlet's hear the the billions that
they've raked in from gt onlineand oh my god it's saying yeah,
it's 100, this is this, thishas the chance to be.

Probably I would not be surprised if GTA 6
becomes the best selling videogame of all time.

Well, I think next year it's the game of the
year, right?
I feel like there's no, wedon't even know most of the
games.

Whatever year this game comes out in, it's
winning.
It's sweeping every game awardsacross the board.

Yeah, this is, we're not even in 2026 and this
is going to win game of the year.
I'm sure of it.

Yeah, so like I'm pretty sure we didn't really
see any.
You probably saw some in-gamecut scenes.

There was no zero.

Maybe in the game on the rail stuff Cause they
say it was equal parts gameplaying, cut scenes, but it's
like this is a gameplay, butit's nothing's happening that
you could really do, type thing.
Where you're, you know thewhole, like you're on rails and
stuff's happening.
That's essentially probablywhat they were showing us at
this point I didn't want toshout out.

I have on the youtube, if we uh, if we get 10,
um uh, super chats.
I am doing a giveaway.
I'm going to give away.
Uh, I got a couple games I haveready for giveaway.
Also, I have a signed copy ofnba jam from the announcer of
nba jam.
So uh jam and welcome to, orhowever the song goes so I I got

(02:22:06):
that as well, as I do have apokemon card set that I've got
ready to give away as well, so Ididn't want to announce that
yeah, obviously we got a lotmore, a lot more time before,
but I think pretty mucheveryone's just getting hyped
for GTA 6.

Yeah, that's going to be a massive launch.

It's going to be huge, but so is Mafia, the Old
Country.
It looks fantastic.

Yeah, I didn't even know this was.
I didn't hear anything aboutthis.
Everything else was sucking upall the air out of the room,
especially with the GTA 6trailer dropping.

Yeah, and you know what's great about this
game?
It's $50.

Yeah, not every game needs to be that standard
$60, $70, $80, $120.

I mean the Mafia games are already great, but
this is way different.
This is more of like on the RedDead Redemption style of area
and what you're playing ridinghorses and, uh, you know, it's
the old country, so it's a waydifferent mafia than what we're
used to way different is thissupposed to be a sequel to

(02:23:11):
something?

I'm pretty sure there were other games in the
series.

I can look that up.
I think it's a prequel um, Icouldn't remember.

to be honest, I've not played any of these
mafia games before, so it's allyou haven't.

Well, this, this would be a great starting point
for you.
I think it's going to be for alot of other people too.
It says mafia the old countryis a prequel, not a sequel, to
the original mafia trilogy.
Yeah, so it is a prequel to.

I figured.
I figured it would be a decentstarting point.
I'm not sure they've taken thatinto account because look at
the last Mafia game come out.

I got it on PS5, so it's not been that long.

I guess it might just be an IP that I just missed
it is a great IP.

It's really, really fun, mark, it really is.
But this one, this is sodifferent that um, like it's got
me way more interested becauseof how different it is.
This is not anything like theother mafia games, it's way
different.
Um, so I and fifty dollars,like I'll take it.

I mean that's cool comes out august 8th.
So you're only like what, fourmonths away from this game
coming out yeah, neek said.

Are there haters who think?
I have not seen anythingnegative about this game
whatsoever.
I've only heard positive stufffrom people on X and Facebook.

So do you get closer?
You know that's when all thecontroversy comes out.
It's a game that you're I justdon't think.

I don't think that's going to be a deal with
this game.
But yeah, I mean it's cool tosee a $50 game that looks great.
I'm all for it.

Yeah, so just because I was reading something
about this, they say it wasconfirmed that the game will not
be an open world.
Instead, the game will focusmore on narrative-driven
experience.
And, yeah, it's going to be a$50 game.
So, from what I understand,that's like the big major
changes from the other games.

Fine with that narrative game.

Not everything needs to be Not everything needs
to be I've said it before noteverything needs to be open
world.
There's nothing wrong with a.

I need some games in between the open world
games.

A linear, story-driven game.
There are good games out therethat are fun to play.

I agree.
Yeah, I'm okay with it notbeing open world.
I don't need everything to beopen world.

Because I feel like open world is a really
small genre, then everythingwent towards it and then the
story suffered Because, let's befair, open world games are
great, but it requires a moreopen.

Depends.
Some are really bad, some arereally good.

Well, even the best ones, it's hard to tell a
story as good as anarrative-driven here's the
kingdom, for instance.

Right the story, for it is picking up memories
and you got to find all of them.

Yeah, not the biggest fan of that, but I mean,
and you've seen a lot ofbethesda games, they're all open
world like.
Yeah, some of the best ways toto as far as storytelling is
environmental storytelling yeahshoot to peak your interest,
read books.
You just see skeletons.
You see stuff on the ground andyou have to like you can ignore
it, but you can also kind of godown the rabbit hole trying to
figure out what, what happened,and stuff like that yeah, I'm

(02:26:08):
totally cool with the narrativeexperience with it.

Fifty dollars I, it's a no-brainer.
It looks really good.
I like that type of setting um,and it's way different than the
other mafia games and it'sobviously pretty cool.
So it's a great, great startingpoint for people, um, so yeah,
looks cool, man, I can't waityeah, uh, and then, just because

(02:26:31):
we're gonna play the gametomorrow, there was an update.

Uh, yeah, apparently they they added new
stuff into schedule one recently.
Uh, one of the big ones, Iguess, that they added I'm
pretty sure there's moreproperties you can buy.
You can buy a jukebox, uh, aswell, as you know, you know, I
think the big one is the storerecipes.
Jukebox is a storage unit andlike a dock warehouse and
something like that.
I'm pretty sure the two newones like another indie game

(02:26:56):
that's just gotten reallypopular and a lot of people are
playing and talking about Samething with the repo game.

If you played it , it says storage unit property
will be located at the north endof the overpass, next to the
casino and costs $5,000, whichshould be pretty easy to do To
purchase from and raise realty.
I mean all four updates for thegame.
We love it, so we're streamingtomorrow.

(02:27:23):
I'm sure we're going to streamit more again soon.
I know we're going to dosomething else next week, but
I'm sure we'll probably end upplaying it again because we're
having a lot of fun.

We do have to like play some other games we
got to break it up a little bit.

Matt Long 6 said let's get this giveaway started
.
Yeah, for sure.
Uh, to me the inventorymanagement and fast travel
mechanics matter.

Yeah, that's understandable for sure oh, we
just get quiet all of a sudden.
Yeah, we go quiet, you juststopped talking.

I was like, oh, what's going on?
Oh no, I thought you were goingto the next thing.
So it looks like Pokemon TCGPocket.
We're getting the Giratina EXSnorlax deck guide.
So it looks like TriumphantLight.
It was considered one of theworst cards ever printed.
What do you know about that?

I don't, I'm not that well.

Snorlax was released in triumphal light was
considered one of the worstcards ever.
Uh, we got a sample desk listthat I can share.
Oh, you're already sharing.
Yeah, I got close.

This is supposed to be like the the deck.
You'd get what?
Two of the giratini exs, two ofthe snorlax, two greninjas, two
froakies uh, two researchprofessors, two of the pokemon
center ladies, two berries, onecyrus uh, two pokeballs, two air
candies and one rocky helmet islike this guillotine ex relax
deck and there is probably aproper way to play this deck,

(02:28:53):
but I've not used, like, any ofthese cards when I'm playing pvp
or pve uh, so like I'm not 100sure on how this deck would be
played, but obviously, based offof how great, great ninja plays
, he'd be, you know, on thebench and probably the
guillotine or snow x gonna be upfront and I pulled a really
cool, great ninja ex card theother day.

I'll have to show you.
It was like the design of itwas really cool.
But the guillotine I meananything guillotine is cool.
I still have not pulled anyguillotine like this guillotine,
uh, like a little art thingit's.

That's a really cool, cool card I would love you
know what I've?

I've found out since now that I've gotten into
the cards too, like you, andlucas got me into the cards,
like actual cards again, butmostly you know when you can
actually find them when theyright.
So I want to tell a story realquick.
So I went to walmart today.
Unfortunately I could notafford to get a bunch of stuff.
I got one thing, which was thecleaver v star, and I got one

(02:29:52):
single pack of journey togetherbut surprisingly, the guys that
come and scalp they did lastweek come because I had to wait
in line for Pokemon cards lastweek.
They did not come this weekbecause there was about 100
packs of Journey together.
There were three of those,there were two more sets of
another V-Star Pokemon and therewere five of the Charizard

(02:30:15):
lunchboxes, which I actuallyhave one of them in the
background and I pulled one ofthe best cards I have out of
that.
One of the most expensive cardscame out of that like chartered
lunchbox style thing, I don'tknow.
I'll show you what I'm talkingabout.

Yeah.
And then Matt Long says oh, forthe giveaway, super chat to
count, I think I have to superchat at least $5 or something.
Well, enjoy, no, we all.

Enjoy, no, we, we appreciate the super chat,
matt, over on the youtube side.
Yeah, that is a cool, coollunchbox.
Yeah, I pulled one of the bestcards I have out of it, so it
was a, and I think it's like 25,so it's pretty good.
Um, and I've still got you.
Want me to show you the ones Istill have to open?

I did I haven't showed it all, okay, no, yeah,
that's fine yeah, I can't, I Ican't find like any pokemon
cards.
They just they just don't existaround me.
So I'm just kind of like solwell, which sucks because
they're, because they're fun.
But online.
I'm getting online yeah, it'spretty much what you have to do

(02:31:17):
now, because the scalpers arejust other people, just buy it
up the moment that they dropthem.
So you're like, oh well.

I guess, I'm screwed.
I will say I was able to getboth the Blacklight and White
Flare ETBs, one of each onPokemon Center.
That's one of the new setscoming out.
So it's Destin Rivals is thefirst new set and then the Unova
set is right after that.

(02:31:45):
So Destin Rivals is gettingovershadowed because the Unova
set has over 800 cards.
It's one of the biggest everbecause you've got.
White Flare and then the Black.
I forget what it's called Blacksomething.
So, for the Unova region, over800 cards in total for those two

(02:32:05):
, because they're two differentsets, Because usually they're
300 to 500 card is how big thesets usually are for a lot of
them.

They're anywhere from like 350 to like 500.

So I got Shrouded Fable ETB that I
haven't opened up yet.
Pops Zackeon Box EX set.
This one is really cool.
This is the Pikachu VMAX set.

Oh yeah, that is a cool set.
Yeah, that's a Crown Zenith one.

Another Crown Zenith.
This is the Regileki V one.
This is the Regileki V set.
And then I've got theHoundstone EX set and I've got
the Palafin EX box.
So those are the ones I stillhave of those and I also got

(02:33:00):
I'll show this real quick Onepack of Journey together.
One more pack.

The single individual one.

Just a single individual one.

They have like 100 there.

It's just, unfortunately, I couldn't afford
to get anything else.
I got the box and I got onepack.
If I could have got more stuff,I couldn't afford to get
anything else.
I got the box and I got onepack.
I just.
If I could have got more stuffI would have, because there was
you don't ever.
They're going to be gonebecause what happened last time?
When I got those cards, theJourney Together packs that I
sent you, I got like eight ofthem.
The next day I was like Iprobably should have grabbed a

(02:33:36):
few more of these.
Every single one of them aregone and there was like 100
there.
So like these are going to begone for sure the next time I go
there to see they're going tobe gone.
Um oh uh, matt, you actuallycommented on x.
I thought people couldn'tcomment on x.
I'm not sure about that, that'swhat I've been told and oh yeah,

(02:33:58):
maybe it's a restream thing,cause I know when I comment on X
on people's lives, they neversee it so interesting.
All right, do we got anythingelse, mark?

Uh, I was going back through.
Uh, Matt, long super chat at adollar over on the YouTube.
Yeah, we appreciate it.
Uh, what's that Neek it?
Uh, what's that unique?
Uh, to me the inventorymanagement and fast travel
mechanics matter.

I'm not sure exactly what game we're talking
about?

I think that was with uh mafia.
Yeah, it might have been, uh,oh, I had the wrong button are
you good?
Uh, I also said I got 94 hourson schedule one so far.
Definitely dedicated a lot oftime to schedule one.

I mean people love it.
