Welcome to The Gamerheads Podcast! Mike and Phil kick off with a Halloween recap, sharing quirky trick-or-treating memories and Roger’s fictional cross-country "trick-or-treating world record" attempt. They also revisit Halloween classics like It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror, capturing the cozy nostalgia of Halloween night.
November Game Releases: Is the Big Season Back?
The hosts turn their attention to November’s releases, wondering if the month is reclaiming its former status as a top season for new games. They discuss Tetris Forever, Lego Horizon, Dragon Quest 3 HD Remake, and Metal Slug Tactics, noting a wide variety of titles but a lack of major holiday blockbusters.
Game Review Spotlight: Retro Realms
Mike reviews Retro Realms, a horror-themed indie game featuring classic characters like Michael Myers and Ash from Evil Dead. Though he enjoys the retro style and collectibles, he finds input lag disrupts gameplay. Despite this, the horror atmosphere and unique arcade setting provide a fun experience.
Creepy Card Games: Inscryption
The crew dive into Inscryption, a card-based horror game blending escape-room puzzles with roguelike mechanics. Trapped in a mysterious cabin, players face off against a sinister figure, building eerie tension through unsettling visuals and atmospheric storytelling. While the game’s tough, both enjoy the unique mix of horror and strategy.
Wrapping Up the Halloween Season: Farewell, Retro Game Frankenstein
With Halloween over, Mike and Phil bid farewell to their seasonal segment “Retro Game Frankenstein,” until next year.

You're listening to roger onthe gamer heads podcast.
And welcome to another episodeof the Gamer Heads Podcast.
(01:47):
How's everybody doing?
I am Mike.
With me, as always, is Mr PhilPhil.
How are you doing today?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm super glad to be here.
It's a beautiful, whatevernight it is.
Tonight I've got the WorldSeries on in the background, so
if I make weird noises, that'swhat's happening.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's not technically the background, though.
It's like the foreground,foreground right, because I
can't see it on your camera oh,it's like I got it muted still
right yeah, but I can't see it.
You said it was on in thebackground, but all I see in the
background are some variousposters and flags and scarves
here does this help there we go.
That's better.
Yeah, all right, so we're goingto be doing play by plays for
the for the world series.
(02:28):
Welcome to game four of theworld series.
Roger is not here with us onceagain.
We'll just let you know when hecomes back, but right now he is
actually out trying to set theworld's record for trick or
treating.
He actually started on Mondayafternoon afternoon.
So he's doing you know how,like forrest gump ran across the
(02:48):
country, he's doing that, buttrick-or-treating I would pay
good money for this video justto watch roger going
door-to-door across the country.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I'd even like, just like, to watch him do it with la
county, like start at the topof la county to the south of la
county, because it's allconnected in one giant city, and
just watch Roger trick-or-treathis way through LA County.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, that's what he's doing.
It's just trick-or-treatingacross America.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, truthfully, Cook County would also work for
that too.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, yeah, I told him stay away from Cook County.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's fair.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, 90% of Cook County, 10% and actually
probably the other 10% too.
You should stay away from that.
But basically just get all ofIllinois and just like avoid it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, just hit those Northern burbs and that'll be
good enough, and the Southernburbs, but stay away from proper
.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, so, yeah, so that's what he's doing.
So good luck, roger.
We hope you get all sorts ofcandy.
We're what he's doing, um.
So good luck, roger, we hopeyou get all sorts of candy we're
excited to see what you get.
Save those all for me.
We're passing out um pokemoncards this year are you really?
Yeah, that's awesome.
Yeah, they sell.
(03:59):
Well, they sell them in likehalloween packs, so it's not
like I'm not.
I'm not giving these.
I don't like kids enough togive them five bucks worth of
cards.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's like 15 packs yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Actually, those were pretty cool.
I remember when I was a kid Idon't know if I told you this
before.
When I was a kid, the mostexciting thing I ever got when I
went trick or treating was acan of Pepsi.
Huh, and I, I was like it wasso unique.
I was like that's a perfect.
Why aren't more people givingme cans of pepsi?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
and then I drank it and when coke is better you know
, I go back personal preferenceI go back and forth, I go back
and forth.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
sometimes I like coke better, sometimes I and forth.
I go back and forth.
Sometimes I like Coke better,sometimes I'm a Pepsi guy.
Right now I'm in my Pepsi phase.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I was about to say, I also drink approximately 20
ounces of soda per year.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So I'm not the soda connoisseur yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm not the expert on this one, gotcha.
And usually six of those are ina root beer float.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Root beer floats are nice.
Anyway, anything you wrote, didyou ever go trick-or-treating
as a kid Did?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
you ever get anything really interesting?
No, I think my most fondHalloween memory as far as
actual Halloween memory goes andI've probably told this story
on the podcast before I don'treally remember Rigos and I've
probably told the story on thepodcast before.
I don't really remember um, butin 1991 here in Minnesota we
had something called the, thegreat Halloween blizzard of 91,
where it came and dropped likethree feet of snow on it or on
us.
Um, I at the time did not livein Minnesota, I was living in
(05:38):
Minot, north Dakota, on the AirForce Base and was fortunate
enough to get chickenpoxapproximately five days before
halloween happened.
So we got the snowstorm oneither the 29th or the 30th.
So we were trick-or-treatingthrough three feet four feet
worth of snow drifts and I wastold I was not allowed to go
trick-or-treating because I hadchicken pox.
And lo and behold, this crafty13 year old with chicken pox
(06:00):
snuck out of his window and wentdoor-to-door with his friends
and went trick-or-treating.
When I would get people'shouses they would be like what
are you dressed as for halloween?
I'd be like kid with chickenpox.
Duh, wow, that's such realisticlooking makeup.
And I'm like, yeah, it certainlyis, as I'm just itching the
hell out of myself scratchingeverything, yeah so I don't know
how many kids I gave chickenpox to that year by going
(06:21):
door-to- door andtrick-or-treating but you know,
I was, I was the conduit of anoutbreak, I'm sure yeah, well,
you know, that's always for thebest, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
They say you know, do they even do that anymore?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I wonder if parents even do that anymore no, because
now there's a vaccine againstit, so they don't do chickenpox
parties anymore that was alwaysfun, though.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
you stay home and you got your seven up and your
price is right, oh, well.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Well, when you get them when you're 13, they're a
lot different from what Iunderstand, because I only have
the 13-year-old experience.
They were very atrocious andjust super itchy.
I distinctly recall asking mymom and dad to kill me.
Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Which at least you got candy.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, I did.
Didn't get killed, though, so Ididn't get my Halloween wish.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
You can make Halloween wishes.
Well, you can make any day ofthe week or any day of your
wishes.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It's just you know, a Halloween wish is extra special
on Halloween.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's when the veil between the living and the dead
is the thinnest.
So your opportunity to bekilled on Halloween increases
exponentially.
It's far higher.
To be killed on Halloweenincreases exponentially it's far
higher.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I mean, and especially well, I mean the
satanic panic wasn't quitehappening at that point, it was
a little bit over.
But I mean I even recall, wow,do we?
Get into this in the podcast.
Sure, why not?
What the hell?
It's Halloween, it's Tuesdayand it's Halloween.
But I recall being in, I'm goingto say, 10th grade, which would
have been obviously after I was13, because I'm not smart, I
(07:50):
was probably 25 at the time.
I was in 10th grade, one of ourteachers warning us not to go
to a certain city and it'scalled Tagus and it still exists
in the middle of North Dakotaand it was quote unquote famous
for its satanic cults andsatanic worshiping because, like
all the buildings and shit wereabandoned many, many years ago
and there was like one churchand four houses in town, oh, and
he claimed that he'd wenthunting with a bunch of his
friends and he'd found, uh likea deer strung up in like a
(08:11):
sacrificial type of a pose, withall of its insides ripped out
on the floor and things like allover the place.
He's just like you, gotta stayaway from tegas, take us to
where all the satanists are.
And we were just like okay,mister, I don't remember what
his name was, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So did you go.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, I've been to Tegus multiple times of course.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Dude, if anything that guy would have been like.
I mean not that I would want toget involved in that you know
other parties and stuff but justto check things out.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Definitely did not break into the church because
that would have been illegal,because there was rumors that
inside of the church the crosshad been turned upside down and
it was all covered in 666graffiti and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Oh yeah, you don't want to get anywhere near any of
that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah.
So of course did not break intothe church to go see if any of
it was factual and from what Iwas told, none of it was factual
.
The church was still upright,but the church had clearly not
been used in many, many years.
But the legend of Tega still itlived on throughout us as
teenage kids in the 90s and weall went I shouldn't say we all,
but a small handful of us wentand checked it out.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's cool.
I'm trying to think if I hadany other Halloween, interesting
Halloween memories, the onething I remember, one thing I
remember the most aboutHalloween I remember the very
first Simpsons Treehouse ofHorror.
Watching that aftertrick-or-treating and actually
getting a little bit scaredduring the Raven short.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Never bored.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
But there was always one thing I always remember.
This was especially when I wasa little kid.
I always found this fascinatinghow this, like emotionally,
this hit me, was the CharlieBrown Great Pumpkin Halloween
special, good special, greatspecial.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
This hit me was the uh, the charlie brown, you know
great pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, halloween special, good special, great
special.
But what really hits me aboutthat and watching it's like what
?
For me, watching that specialafter trick-or-treating late
night on a vhs tape on halloween, like 10 o'clock, is not so
much the first, what is like a45 minute thing, so like the
(10:11):
first 40 minutes, but it's thelast five minutes that really
hit me.
But it's that build up tohalloween everybody loves
halloween to do this.
And then at the very end, whenlinus falls asleep in the
pumpkin patch, and at like twoin the morning, three in the
morning, um lucy, yeah, that'shis sister.
She goes out to bring him backin and then the next day, like
(10:35):
you know, charlie brown and andand uh linus are talking um by
the brick wall.
Like they, like they do likethey tended to do yeah, but it's
just something about the peaceand like the finality of
halloween when it ends, and likethe calm, I don't know.
There's just something aboutthat that puts me into like a
real.
Like a real, like it's.
(10:59):
It's a cool feeling.
It's a very like relaxed, umzenlike feeling is the ending of
that show.
I haven't watched that in years.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Rachel would totally go for that.
She's a big peanut spark.
She would definitely be downfor watching that this year.
Don't you have a normalHalloween ritual of the show
that you watch?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
The Garfield Halloween Adventure.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Have you watched it yet, or are you?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
saving it.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I'm saving it.
I haven't watched it yet.
I got to watch that and I gotto watch the Ernest Scared
Stupid.
That's my other Halloween movie, but see, the Garfield one is
along the same lines because,again, the first 25 minutes is
all on Halloween and then theend of it is the calm, relaxing
post-Halloween depression orsomething like that almost a
(11:47):
retrospective right, yeah, so Idon't know watch.
Watch that and let me know whatyou think, but like watch it, I
guess.
Watch it on halloween night aslate as you can, yeah I'm done
but you'd have to find it though, because I think it's only on
apple tv oh yeah, so you'd haveto like go to the library and
(12:07):
get the bust out, the vhsthere's got to be a plagiarized
copy floating around oh, there'sgot to be two you yeah,
somewhere on the I'm gonna it'snot probably not the dark web,
but more like the, you know, thegradient web, the gray web,
yeah, all right.
(12:28):
Well, let's get into video gametalk.
Okay, so what we're going totalk about?
We just got a couple of thingsto go over, and our first, since
we have finished our lovelymonth of October, let's talk
about our games of November.
So, phil, I was about to go offon another tangent.
You know what, screw it, I'mgoing off on another tangent
before.
Yeah, do it content like contentcreative this is something that
(12:52):
I haven't seen in a while.
It's actually been probablyabout two or three years, at
least in my memory.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but forthe longest time and I'm talking
mid 90s through mid like 2015,2016, something like that
(13:12):
november was the month for gamesabsolutely is when the best
games ever came out.
All your amazing games um, youknow your zelda's and I'm not
gonna get it, so just basicallygames.
You know, uh, the, the heavyhitters always came out november
, but then it shifted and a lotof the heavy hitters were coming
(13:36):
out in january and februaryover the past few years and now,
at least for me for these gamesof november, it looks like
we're back to getting a lot ofheavy hitters did so maybe I
read this list wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I mean, I've had like three beers, but there's
nothing so yeah, you tell me so,phil.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Is there anything at all on that list that interests
you?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
um truthfully yeah, truthfully read it again.
There's nothing here that supertickles my fancy.
Uh, tetris forever intrigues me, just because it's a tetris
game and it's a game that youcan play mindlessly to kill some
time yep uh, that's their legohorizons on the list, just
because I do typically enjoyLego games.
(14:27):
I'm assuming Lego Horizon isbased off of Horizon Zero Dawn,
so unfortunately I probablywon't be able to play it.
I did not hate the firstHorizon Zero Dawn.
Go ahead, okay no, no go ahead.
Is that what it's based on or no?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
it is.
It's based on horizon, zerodawn and it's on your favorite
video game system, not just theplaystation, but also on the
switch.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, that means I can play it I don't know if I
want to and then somethingcalled slitterhead.
I know nothing aboutslitterhead, but it's a cool
sounding title where it soundslike it might be something that
I'd be into.
So I've got that on my list aswell.
But when I look at this and Iknow that this list does contain
a Mario Luigi brothership,which again I don't know what
(15:09):
that is there's nothing herethat stands out as that big ass
triple a title that is going tobe in everybody's stocking at
Christmas.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, triple a title that is gonna be in everybody's
stocking at christmas.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, that's usually you know what the thing is?
It's usually um call of duty.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
That's, yeah, which is already out, which just came
out, yeah, so, uh, all right,well, tetris forever.
I'll go off my, I'll go, uh,I'll give you what I've got.
So, tetris forever.
Yes, that's a collection of awhole bunch of different tetris
games okay, that's cool sothat'll be fun to add to the old
collection.
Uh, slitterhead, absolutelythis looks like a.
(15:54):
Uh like a, like a silent hillstyle game oh, yeah, totally so
it's all sorts of messed up, sothat one I'm looking forward to
uh, stalker 2 comes out.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Always love a horror-based first-person
shooter I didn't play the firstone so that one didn't make my
list.
It probably should have, and Ishould probably play the first
one as well I wonder if that'son game pass.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'll have to take a look.
Let's see why it wouldn't be.
Oh well, uh, let's see next.
Uh.
Dragon quest 3 the hd 2d remake.
I'm not a big rpg person, but Ido like dragon quest games you
like fighting slime?
I do like the slime, I also.
I like that the art is bytoriyama okay so, uh, what else
(16:40):
do I have?
uh, so I've got mario and luigibrothership, which I'm looking
forward to that.
I have that game pre-orderedand that is that's, uh, the next
game in the mario rpg mario andluigi rpg.
So if you ever play likesuperstar saga, which is a good
game, or bowser's inside storyor anything like that, so it's,
it's, it's a turn-based um,turn-based um rpg okay, um you
(17:07):
know, I can see the appealbehind it, but it's it's
probably not going to do muchfor me, unfortunately understand
.
The other one is also aturn-based RPG and that's Metal
Slug Tactics.
And man, do I love me someMetal Slug?
I always love the animation onit, just the Contra-style
(17:29):
gameplay.
So this one is it's a MetalSlug game, but it plays like
Final Fantasy Tactics.
Like Final Fantasy Tacticsexactly.
I was going to say like FireEmblem, but that's the same
style of game.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Or Wargroove game or wargroove or.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
But now that, um, now that I saw that metal slope
tactics is coming out, I bustedout out of the old uh backlog
the uh alien tactics game that Igot oh, I guess yeah, there's
aliens and and it came out, it's.
It's not, it's a series x game,so it's not like an xbox one
(18:07):
game, right, but it's an.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It's an aliens game, but it's all that like grid
based, turn-based rpg when I wasyounger I really appreciated
tactic styles games, but as I'vegotten it's lost a little of
his excuse me, of its luster,just, and I think it's due to
the fact that they are kind of atime suck and they do take a
(18:29):
lot of time to get into and getinto the groove, and I don't
necessarily have that kind oftime lane around, unfortunately.
Yep, yep, yep.
So I've fallen off of thatwagon a little bit falling off
of that wagon a little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yep, that's what happens.
That's what happens.
Yeah, I just look at my gamesand I'm like I don't wanna.
I just like I don't have thestrength to get into a new story
I just want the comfort of whatI know I just want the comfort
of what I know.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
That's why I always default to fall guys and
fortnite yep look at you I'llmove this show in overwatch
that's right, the show inoverwatch exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Uh, let's see.
The only other game that's onthis list is actually a pc game.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So I'm interested in a pc game and that's planet
coaster 2 another game that,that style of game when I was
younger I would really be into,but again, just don't have the
patience for it right now, Maybeafter I finally win a jillion
dollars playing blackjack orsomething maybe I'll have that
(19:30):
kind of time, there you go.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yeah, I.
The only reason I would pick itup is because a buddy of mine
well you know, kurt, he's gonnahe's, he loves the Planet
Coaster games and he goes fullham into those games.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
No kidding.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Oh yeah, and this one has a form of co-op.
So basically how the way itworks is you can share your save
with somebody.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
So it's like you're not playing at the same time,
but whenever you the game, itsaves what you've done onto both
files, so it is.
It is kind of like co-op, justnot it's.
It's like co-op with extrasteps, split co-op, there you go
, something like that.
Yeah, so, yeah, so that'swhat's coming out in november.
Uh, I almost picked up.
(20:23):
I don't know we already talkedabout that how I was tempted to
get a ps5.
That I'm like no thanks,because it was on sale like two
weeks ago, so I'm not gonna getinto that.
All right, anything else,anything else interesting news
related or anything that we cango over before we go and get
into what we played not that I'maware of.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I did download called the newest call of duty.
I haven't played it.
I debated deleting it almostautomatically just because I'm
tired of seeing the logo, butit's there, I hear it kind of
gets horary at the end, so I'mkind of intrigued by that that's
why I downloaded it.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Okay, so I but I haven't played it.
But yeah, I downloaded itbecause, yeah, I'm waiting for,
looking forward to that.
Um, it's, I heard the samething yeah, we're on the same
page.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Then Call of Duty we're going to talk about all of
next week Well, probably not.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah, all right.
Well, let's get into what weplayed then.
So, phil, what have you beenplaying over this last week-ish?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Oh boy, unfortunately I have nothing new to add to
that collection.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm trying to stop and think that if I did play
anything else aside fromInscription, which I did spend a
little bit of time with not aton of time, but some time
Outside of that, new season ofOverwatch started two weeks ago,
so that's consuming my time.
Mlb the Show just started aHalloween program that's
happening, where you unlock abunch of 99 players, so I've
(21:42):
spent some time with that.
I stared at the casting ofFrank, whatever, and tried to
talk Rachel into it, but she wasout, so we did not start that
yet, unfortunately, and so I'vejust kind of been stuck in this
weird gaming rut.
It's also been very busy for melately, so I mean unfortunately
, I have not had more thanprobably about an hour, hour and
(22:02):
a half a day to put intoanything.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And so I just knock out my daily types of missions
and quests and I do that andthen go to bed.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
All right.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
What about yourself, Mike?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Well, myself, I actually was able to get a few
games in.
Normally, this time was allabout scary movies, so like you
know, the wife and I we did adouble feature of Halloween 1
and 2.
And we saw Smile 2 in thetheater.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
You said that off-air .
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I think last week.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah, enjoyed that yeah week.
Yeah, yeah, enjoyed that.
Um, yeah, saw a movie calledfreaky with uh, what's that?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
guy's name vince vaughn think you know the movie
freaky friday.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah, I think.
The same concept, only the twopeople that switch bodies are a
teenage high school girl and aserial killer like jason oh,
okay yeah, so, but uh, in termsof the game space, uh, wait was
freaky good it was okay.
It wasn't bad, it had it's.
(23:12):
It's a horror comedy a comedyit's a.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's a yeah a core calmer, calmer calmer, that's
how they say common boston yeah,boston, anyway, that's not.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
That's number three after new york and la, for me,
anywho, uh, we don't want to getinto that, so other so in terms
of games I played.
So I finished my halloweenseason for fall guys, uh, got
unlocked.
My um unlocked the countdracula, which was like the last
(23:50):
one to unlock okay, nice job,so I mean good game yeah, gg,
and I started playing a gamecalled crano origins.
Uh, it was on Switch.
I think I got it on sale forlike it was on my wish list.
I got it on sale for like sevenbucks.
It's basically it's a ShovelKnight clone, but instead of a
(24:11):
knight with a shovel, you are askeleton with a, and I always
mispronounce this Scythe, scythe, sith, scythe.
I always go with scythe myself,but I barely speak english so,
yes, so cranial origins fun gamelike they did, like I don't
(24:34):
care that it's a, that it's ashovel knight ripoff and it
plays a lot like shovel knight,looks like shovel knight it's.
It's a fun ha-style game.
In fact, I think our friendmight recommend it for next year
.
Oh yeah, and not only that, butthe developer, I think, just
(24:54):
announced that they're workingon a sequel, and the sequel is
going to be a Metroidvania-stylegame.
Oh interesting Yep.
Sequel is going to be ametroidvania style game.
Oh, interesting yep.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So that's krano k-r-a-i-n-o origins.
Check it out, it's a prettygood game.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I might have to get that elixir.
Yeah, I also see here yeah, see, uh, I also started up a new
game plus of dead space.
Oh yes, and I played it farenough that I could get to a,
the bench or the shop orwhatever, and then fully max out
(25:32):
my um, my, my, uh, my armor andget the achievement for it.
And then after that, and then II then an enemy popped out and
it tells you.
It says, when you play new gameplus, you will um come across
new and more challenging enemies.
So I'm like okay, and so I cameacross, uh, another necromorph,
(25:54):
which is just your basic one.
But this one was this one wasdark, red and had glowing eyes
and took about 15 shots to takedown as opposed to the normal
three.
So then I'm like you know what?
I think I'm good, I'm cool withthat achievement.
I got the achievement for themaxed out armor.
(26:16):
I think that's good enough forme.
That sounds ridiculouslydifficult.
Yeah, that sounds ridiculouslydifficult.
Yeah, the game is hard, even onmedium difficulty.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It really is a challenge.
So then can I ask you, sinceobviously you completed New Game
Regular, how was your entireplaythrough of the remaster?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I had a good time with it, except I think we
talked about it on the lastepisode, where there was some
stuff that got on my nerves.
Like you know, enemiesconstantly showing up behind you
.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
There are some parts where just oh yeah, it was like
too much backtracking.
The game was really dark atpoints and then I realized well,
all I'm doing in this entiregame, this entire game, all
you're doing is fixing differentparts of the ship.
That's the whole thing.
(27:10):
That's the whole game.
Oh, you need to go here and theyou know, the johnson rod is
broke.
You got to get a new johnson rodin there I hate it when the
johnson rod's broken I gotta geta new johnson rod, then we to
go over to storage and get aJohnson rod.
You know, here's the guy I gotto fight, so you know it's.
But it's still still a fun gameand I love the combat and
(27:30):
everything.
It's a horror based fetch questgame.
It's well, that's basicallywhat it is.
Yeah, but you know, I liked itGood.
And then the other game Iplayed is a game called retro
realms, and what that is.
That is a collection of two 16bit style side scrolling hack
(28:00):
and slash games based onHalloween and evil dead.
Oh okay, yep, you did.
You got that then?
Oh yeah, no, oh, I definitelypicked it up yeah, so I picked
it up.
It came with actually when Iopened up the xbox game at xbox,
not the switch version umyou're maturing mike yep, I know
I'm trying to do better.
Uh, it came with a pack ofcards.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So that was pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
It's nice to see you get the extra stuff in there.
So I opened up the pack ofcards and it just had different
characters from the game andquotes from the movies that they
were in and stuff.
But you can play as MichaelMyers.
You could play as Ash from EvilDead and Army of Darkness.
You can also play as lauriestrode from the halloween movies
(28:43):
, jamie lee curtis's characterinteresting and then you can
also play as kelly.
She was one of the maincharacters in ash versus evil
dead the series okay yeah, soit's two.
So it's basically it's those twogames they're.
The games aren't very deep, Ithink there's only like 10
(29:05):
levels in each, but you can.
You can play that.
What's what's cool is like allthe extra bells and whistles.
You can then play as Ash in theHalloween game or as Michael
Myers in the evil dead game.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Uh, and I think it unlocks different um, different
scenes and things like that.
But the game isn't set up Like.
It's like, oh, press start andthen, oh, choose your game.
No, the game starts and you'rein an, in an old, abandoned
arcade almost, and so it shows,it shows the two games, and then
(29:44):
you have to it's a first personview you walk up to the game
and press the a button to selectit.
Well, when you're done with that, you can walk around this
location, so you can go in, andthere's a trophy room and
there's a diorama room.
So whenever you beat a level, Ithink like a diorama of the
level will show up on a pedestaland there's a diorama room.
So whenever you beat a level, Ithink like a diorama of the
(30:04):
level will show up on a pedestaland it's pretty cool.
So it's kind of like how a lotof those, um, acrylic things are
being done where it's like it'slike three, I don't know.
It's really tough to to talkabout it and not show you, but
it's.
It's like there's a backgroundthat's like an acrylic stand and
then in front of it there'sanother acrylic piece and then
(30:26):
in front of that there's anotheracrylic piece.
So it gives you like a 3d ishview of a of a scene okay, that
makes sense.
Yeah, um, so you can.
You can get those.
You can in the game you cancollect tickets by, you know,
killing it or finding hiddentickets, and then you can use
the tickets to purchase thingsin the museum.
(30:48):
So I purchased um michaelmyers's clown outfit from the
very beginning of halloween andit doesn't really do anything.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
It's just there in the museum, uh, you can't equip
it, as you're playing withmichael myers playing the
halloween version of the game asfar as I know, no, because it
the the the clown costume looksrealistic, whereas the game is
16-bit okay um, and then sothey've got that for halloween
and evil dead.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Uh, another cool room that you can go into and this,
this one is.
This one is really cool and I'mreally, I was really happy to
see this.
There's a room with a bookshelfwith a bunch of vhs tapes and
an old school tv and an oldschool vcr.
As you play the game, you canfind vhs tapes and then you can
go into this room and then grabthem and put them in the vcr and
(31:36):
watch behind the scenes videos.
Uh, you know a whole bunch ofdifferent stuff.
You know cut scenes, history,so there's some really cool
extra bonus features.
Like I was just watching, like Iwatched the video of like you
know how they came up with theidea and all that other jazz,
but it was.
It's really cool to see allthat bonus stuff.
You don't see a lot of that.
(31:57):
Like I love looking at thebehind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, that stuff's always just a good fun time to
watch.
Um, my question for you is dothe two games play similarly, or
are they pretty different, or?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
similar style style and that's the thing.
The games are just okay.
Uh, it's, it's, it's basicrun-of-the-mill walk left to
right.
A guy comes up to you, youattack him, you you fight a boss
, and then you collect uh candycorn, which is like currency, at
least in the in the halloween,where I didn't play the evil
(32:32):
dead one, I played the halloweenone okay um, you collect candy
corn, which is the currencywhich you could then use to
upgrade michael myers, give himextra life, unlock some extra
moves, things like that.
Um, a few problems that I havewith the game.
First of all, the there's someinput lag and it's and it's it
(32:55):
really like like there's a downattack you can do.
You can use a down attack whichthen, after you hit, hit him.
Michael Myers will pogo off ofthem like a Scrooge, mcduck
style.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
But there's just the slight and I don't know if it's
a delay with the input or ifit's because Michael Myers has
like a wind-up animation beforehe swings the knife.
It could be one of those, but Ilooked up on reddit and I'm not
the only one.
I thought it might have been mytv, but I'm not the only one
that's having this problem.
There's, there are people onreddit they're saying actually,
(33:29):
was that it was bad enough thatI actually they're not going to
reply.
I know they're not going toreply, but I sent them, I put, I
tweeted out to the developerand I'm like, hey, there is some
bad input lag on this game.
Is there anything being doneabout it?
And it's not like it doesn'tbreak the game, but it's
(33:49):
something you need to becognizant of and work with.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
It tarnishes the experience.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
It does a little bit Like okay, here's a guy coming
at me, Well, he's far enoughaway.
I should probably press theattack button and then he'll
just run into my knife when Iswing.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Oh, what is that bad that's pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
So I've died quite a few times because of a missed
attack due to some input lag.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I might try go ahead, sorry, no, you do your thing I
might try.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
I might try a wired controller and see if that makes
a difference that's probably agood call.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Yeah, um, is all the bonus content exclusive to the
physical copy or physical, yeah,physical copy.
Or is it also on the digitalversion?
It's on the digital, you meanlike the videos and stuff yeah
yeah, no, no, you unlock thevideos throughout playing the
game yeah, but I wasn't sure ifthat was one of those special
add-ons that only happenedbecause of of having the
physical copy, nope, and I don'tremember exactly, unfortunately
(34:52):
, but how much was it to to buythe, the game it's?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
40 bucks.
Right, it's a 50 game, sothat's a full price game, which
to me it may be about $10 too,too expensive.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I was about to say, that makes the, the, the lag
that much more.
Just take the time, guys andgals.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Well, here's the other thing and so so anyway, so
, like I said, the gamesthemselves they're not bad, they
just could have been, theycould be better.
So I'm hoping that they and wayforward worked on this too, and
way forward was awesome with.
They're usually really good.
(35:35):
Yeah, a lot of fun achievementsthough really a lot of.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Now you're speaking my language achievements.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yes, there's, um, like a lot of see, and that's
what I like, what I liked aboutthis like there's there's your
achievements for beating thelevels, but then there's like
achievements for bounce on likefour enemies without hitting the
ground, you know, but thenthere's achievements in the
first person arcade area.
(36:05):
Oh, no kidding.
Yeah, there's one, you knowwatch your first video, purchase
your first thing.
But then there's like when Iwas uh looking at the diorama, I
like flipped it over to theback and which was pretty cool
because it showed michael myersin the um the sanitarium, but
then when you flipped it aroundit was the same scene but a
(36:27):
hellish like it looked like itwas in hell instead, because in
the game when you press the bbutton you flip between the real
world and the demon world.
So while you're playing, sothere's like some hidden areas
that you can only access byflipping into the demon world.
So I just I spun the dioramaaround and then, when it did
(36:48):
that, you know the achievementon the left, so you can get an
achievement for that.
There's an achievement for umtrying to exit the, the, the
arcade no kidding yeah, so I waslike I was in the first person
mode and I turned around and Iwent to the door and I pressed
the A button and then theachievement popped up that said,
well, at least you tried thatreminds me of even I think it
(37:12):
was the Simpsons hit and rungame, where you got 10 points
just for pressing start to startthe game oh yeah, was that one
called like worst achievementever, or something like
something like that yeah that'sfunny are there a 1,000
achievements per game or is it1,000 between the two?
Oh, it's 1,000 per.
I like the fact that.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Xbox is doing that.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
And there's 74 total.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Holy hell.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I'm just looking at the achievements right now.
View a diorama.
Beat the world, watch a video.
Oh yeah, there's an achievementfor pressing start.
Okay, beat the world, watch avideo.
Oh yeah, there's an achievementfor pressing start.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Okay, here's the downside you ready?
Speaker 3 (37:51):
yeah, maybe my gamer score right now 81 154 uh, you
don't like that that unevennumber no, there's achievements
that are worth one, there'sachievements that are worth
eight.
You know which.
You know.
That's all right.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
It is what it is, but um that was a tick of mine for
a long time, and then I was justfinally like you know what.
I can't do anything about thisat this point.
It's just gonna be what it isyep, so, yeah, so 74
achievements, 2000,.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
But you know, let's see, play a game 10 times, watch
all the videos, buy moresouvenirs, you know.
So there's some fun ones.
Use only the sub weapon to beata level.
Yeah, beat the game with nohealth upgrades purchased.
(38:47):
Oh, wow, they got achievementsfor pacifist runs.
That's pretty cool, but anywho.
So again, it's interesting.
I hope they can make thecontrols a lot more responsive,
like immediate responsive,because then, yeah, that would
(39:09):
make it a lot easier.
There's also some parts thatare kind of hard because, like,
not due to it being challenging,just like they're, just like
throwing too much at you yeah,well, that's not a game tends to
do that at a certain point aswell, unfortunately just to kind
of create long jet, long jet.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Longevity, there it is uh within, within the course
of the game.
Um, if they tighten up thosecontrols and you see anything
that's posted about it, youhappen to notice it, let me know
and I will gladly buy that game.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
But with that kind of a lag, it's just, it's, it's,
it's a huge turnoff,unfortunately, just here it is
yeah, because I mean, if you'rehaving you, if you have like a
hack and slash side scrollinggame like that it's got to be
tight it has to be tight, it hasto be perfect, like there's no
room for error.
Yeah so, but I I'd say I'dprobably give it like a six out
of ten.
(39:58):
That's not terrible that's notterrible, it's, it's doable,
it's it'sable, especially if youlike those horror movies.
But yeah, I don't know, it'sjust okay, all right.
Well, let's get into our lastsegment of the night, and that
is oh, phil, we need to saygoodbye to our friend, our good
buddy, Retro Game Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
I'm going to miss him .
I, I'm going to miss him.
I mean, he's already hit theroad.
He's you know, he's peeled thatpavement away in his motorcycle
.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
That's right, he's driving off into the sunset.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Leaving a trail of memory cards behind him.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah, memory cards that don't work anymore With
Lara Croft on them.
With Lara Croft on them,alright.
So last week, the game that wasassigned to us by retro game,
frankenstein, was a game calledinscription, and actually you
know what I do it's.
I haven't done this in a while,but let me pull up the uh,
official description ofdescription.
A description, inscription,description an inscription
(40:57):
description.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
It's like an inception deception okay, so
here we go.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
From the creator of Pony Island and the Hex comes
the latest mind-melting,self-destructing love letter to
video games.
Inscription is an inky blackcard-based odyssey that blends
the deck-building, roguelike,escape room style puzzles and
psychological horror into ablood-laced smoothie.
Darker still are the secretsinscribed upon the cards an
(41:25):
inscription you will acquire adeck of woodland creature cards
by draft surgery andself-mutilation.
Unlock the secrets lurkingbehind the walls of lushy's
cabin and embark on anunexpected and deeply disturbing
odyssey.
So the game is actually oh well, it'll.
It's currently on sale.
(41:46):
Actually it's on.
It's on sale on xbox for eightdollars, but it's also on game
pass, which is how we cameacross it.
So inscription it is.
It's a card game and it's um.
You're playing um this gameagainst a mysterious, really
creepy stranger.
And basically, the way and helpme out, phil, the way the game
(42:09):
works is you have cards that aredifferent animals.
You have to sacrifice animals inorder to get better animals.
Yes, and to activate otheranimals like.
So, for example, you've gotsquirrel cards.
Squirrel cards are your basicones, so, like you have to, and
(42:29):
you can only put, I think, fouror five cards down in front of
you at a time, it's four as faras I played that's four.
Okay, so you put down a squirrelcard and then, let's say, you
have a wolf card.
Well, the wolf card needs asacrifice of two drops of blood.
However, a squirrel only hasone drop of blood, so you need
(42:51):
to put two squirrels down beforeyou can put the wolf card down.
So you kill the squirrels, youdrop the wolf and then every
turn the wolf will attackwhatever's in front of it, and
if there's nothing in front ofit, it attacks the other person
you're playing against.
And if it hits them, thenthere's some uh, gold or
(43:13):
something trinkets that droponto a scale, and once the scale
goes all the way down, then youwin.
So every time the other personattacks you, it drops onto your
side of the scale.
So it's you know, it's likeback and forth with who can get
the scale to drop all the waydown first.
Some of the creatures havedifferent um, I guess uh buffs
(43:39):
or abilities yeah, abilities,buffs, both work yeah, so like
if you have a flying one, it'llfly over whatever's in front of
it and attack the person, or theother person there's also.
There's also.
You can also collect items anduse them, kind of like what was
(44:00):
it?
The goats or something likethat.
The goat?
Speaker 2 (44:02):
in the bottle, the goat, there's also the tweezers
or the pliers.
Um, there's different creaturesyou can get throughout the
course of the bottle.
Uh god, what else did I see?
What like the differentcreatures or the different items
no, the different items,because there was a small
handful.
There was like a fan as well,or something like that that
(44:23):
would give a buff to somethingthat you played.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Or could attach to Yep, so while you're playing
this game, the person you'replaying against is like dropping
hints as to why you're there,things like that.
And then they roll out a scrolland right before each round of
the game you play, you have alittle character that looks like
a monopoly piece or somethinglike that.
That and that bounces on a pathand you can do things like get
(44:52):
extra cards, you can sacrificeone card to make another card
more powerful, and that's inbetween, like the different
matches um one thing I'll sayyeah.
So one thing I'll say this gameis really creepy.
It's not scary, but I love howlike, dark and foreboding it is
the vibe of it is outstanding.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Just you being trapped in a cabin with a dude
that wants to play cards withyou.
It's like if we were drunk in acabin and I just want to play
cribbage like no, you're notleaving until you beat me five
times.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Yep.
So yeah it's, and the guy thatyou're playing against.
You can't see his face, but youcould definitely see his eyes.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Yeah, the eyes are really creepy.
And then when, when you, whenyou're playing each round which
is like the scroll, you knowwhen you get through, get to to
the very end, you play against aboss and he puts on a mask of
the boss and it's really creepy.
And again, really creepy,really really creepy.
Factor, um, and I guess there'sa story involved, but I didn't
(45:55):
get far enough because, man,this game is tough.
Like I made it I, I made it tothe angler and the second boss
for me was the angler and hisability to use a hook to grab
one of my creatures and then usethem against me.
That killed me.
I'm like I couldn't do it.
So I don't know, I've got toplay the game a bit more to get
(46:17):
better at it.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
I guess it's a game that I was super intrigued by by
, and I love the hand-holdingphase because it made me feel
good about it.
I am notorious, and I've saidit on this show more than once,
that like ccgs are just not mystyle.
I'm not smart enough to playthem.
In my own words, nobody else'swell, I'm sure plenty of other
people have said it about me,but the vibe of this game and
(46:41):
even like when you get past theprospector, as you're leading up
the prospector, he's like goover to the candle or over to
the candelabra on the wall, go,grab that, bring it back here,
set it down.
But you see, like I'm gonna saysix other things that you can
interact with, and then he saysone of like your cards says
something along the lines ofthere's a way out of this room.
It's in the room, but you can'tgo and interact with him and
(47:04):
stuff until you get to certainpoints in the story, right,
which is where the escape roomaspect of it comes into play,
which is super intriguing to me.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
But it's tough yeah, it's a hard game but it's still
fun, still enjoyable, like Ireally love the vibe on it.
It's the vibe is outstanding.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
Yeah, it's just a matter of being able to put
those pieces into play.
That will get you in the rightdirection, and for people that
are into CCGs or card games,they'll enjoy this a lot more
than I did.
Not saying that I hated it, butjust my brain doesn't work that
way.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
Yeah right, I'm not smart enough.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
But I still enjoyed the time I had with it.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Most definitely.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
Yeah, but I still enjoyed the time I had with it.
Most definitely Cool, all right, anything else.
I got nothing else on the game.
It's on Game Pass.
If you're interested, intriguedand you have Game Pass, pick it
up.
I think it's on sale.
Like I said, it's on sale.
If you can get it for like $7,then I think it's worth it,
especially if you like thosetypes of card games or you like,
you know, spooky games yeah, ifyou like spooky games or card
(48:06):
games or a combination of both,go check it out.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Go play through it a handful of times.
Uh, I think you'll have a goodtime with it.
I'd like I enjoyed it more thanI thought I would, but I didn't
enjoy it as much as I.
In my brain I had bellatro inmy head and it wasn't Bellatro.
Speaker 3 (48:22):
That's right.
Yep, that's what I was thinking.
Nice, alright.

You're listening to roger onthe gamer heads podcast.
And welcome to another episodeof the Gamer Heads Podcast.
(01:47):
How's everybody doing?
I am Mike.
With me, as always, is Mr PhilPhil.
How are you doing today?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm super glad to be here.
It's a beautiful, whatevernight it is.
Tonight I've got the WorldSeries on in the background, so
if I make weird noises, that'swhat's happening.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's not technically the background, though.
It's like the foreground,foreground right, because I
can't see it on your camera oh,it's like I got it muted still
right yeah, but I can't see it.
You said it was on in thebackground, but all I see in the
background are some variousposters and flags and scarves
here does this help there we go.
That's better.
Yeah, all right, so we're goingto be doing play by plays for
the for the world series.
(02:28):
Welcome to game four of theworld series.
Roger is not here with us onceagain.
We'll just let you know when hecomes back, but right now he is
actually out trying to set theworld's record for trick or
treating.
He actually started on Mondayafternoon afternoon.
So he's doing you know how,like forrest gump ran across the
(02:48):
country, he's doing that, buttrick-or-treating I would pay
good money for this video justto watch roger going
door-to-door across the country.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I'd even like, just like, to watch him do it with la
county, like start at the topof la county to the south of la
county, because it's allconnected in one giant city, and
just watch Roger trick-or-treathis way through LA County.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, that's what he's doing.
It's just trick-or-treatingacross America.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, truthfully, Cook County would also work for
that too.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, yeah, I told him stay away from Cook County.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's fair.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, 90% of Cook County, 10% and actually
probably the other 10% too.
You should stay away from that.
But basically just get all ofIllinois and just like avoid it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, just hit those Northern burbs and that'll be
good enough, and the Southernburbs, but stay away from proper
.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, so, yeah, so that's what he's doing.
So good luck, roger.
We hope you get all sorts ofcandy.
We're what he's doing, um.
So good luck, roger, we hopeyou get all sorts of candy we're
excited to see what you get.
Save those all for me.
We're passing out um pokemoncards this year are you really?
Yeah, that's awesome.
Yeah, they sell.
(03:59):
Well, they sell them in likehalloween packs, so it's not
like I'm not.
I'm not giving these.
I don't like kids enough togive them five bucks worth of
cards.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's like 15 packs yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Actually, those were pretty cool.
I remember when I was a kid Idon't know if I told you this
before.
When I was a kid, the mostexciting thing I ever got when I
went trick or treating was acan of Pepsi.
Huh, and I, I was like it wasso unique.
I was like that's a perfect.
Why aren't more people givingme cans of pepsi?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
and then I drank it and when coke is better you know
, I go back personal preferenceI go back and forth, I go back
and forth.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
sometimes I like coke better, sometimes I and forth.
I go back and forth.
Sometimes I like Coke better,sometimes I'm a Pepsi guy.
Right now I'm in my Pepsi phase.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I was about to say, I also drink approximately 20
ounces of soda per year.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So I'm not the soda connoisseur yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm not the expert on this one, gotcha.
And usually six of those are ina root beer float.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Root beer floats are nice.
Anyway, anything you wrote, didyou ever go trick-or-treating
as a kid Did?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
you ever get anything really interesting?
No, I think my most fondHalloween memory as far as
actual Halloween memory goes andI've probably told this story
on the podcast before I don'treally remember Rigos and I've
probably told the story on thepodcast before.
I don't really remember um, butin 1991 here in Minnesota we
had something called the, thegreat Halloween blizzard of 91,
where it came and dropped likethree feet of snow on it or on
us.
Um, I at the time did not livein Minnesota, I was living in
(05:38):
Minot, north Dakota, on the AirForce Base and was fortunate
enough to get chickenpoxapproximately five days before
halloween happened.
So we got the snowstorm oneither the 29th or the 30th.
So we were trick-or-treatingthrough three feet four feet
worth of snow drifts and I wastold I was not allowed to go
trick-or-treating because I hadchicken pox.
And lo and behold, this crafty13 year old with chicken pox
(06:00):
snuck out of his window and wentdoor-to-door with his friends
and went trick-or-treating.
When I would get people'shouses they would be like what
are you dressed as for halloween?
I'd be like kid with chickenpox.
Duh, wow, that's such realisticlooking makeup.
And I'm like, yeah, it certainlyis, as I'm just itching the
hell out of myself scratchingeverything, yeah so I don't know
how many kids I gave chickenpox to that year by going
(06:21):
door-to- door andtrick-or-treating but you know,
I was, I was the conduit of anoutbreak, I'm sure yeah, well,
you know, that's always for thebest, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
They say you know, do they even do that anymore?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I wonder if parents even do that anymore no, because
now there's a vaccine againstit, so they don't do chickenpox
parties anymore that was alwaysfun, though.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
you stay home and you got your seven up and your
price is right, oh, well.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Well, when you get them when you're 13, they're a
lot different from what Iunderstand, because I only have
the 13-year-old experience.
They were very atrocious andjust super itchy.
I distinctly recall asking mymom and dad to kill me.
Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Which at least you got candy.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, I did.
Didn't get killed, though, so Ididn't get my Halloween wish.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
You can make Halloween wishes.
Well, you can make any day ofthe week or any day of your
wishes.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It's just you know, a Halloween wish is extra special
on Halloween.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's when the veil between the living and the dead
is the thinnest.
So your opportunity to bekilled on Halloween increases
exponentially.
It's far higher.
To be killed on Halloweenincreases exponentially it's far
higher.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I mean, and especially well, I mean the
satanic panic wasn't quitehappening at that point, it was
a little bit over.
But I mean I even recall, wow,do we?
Get into this in the podcast.
Sure, why not?
What the hell?
It's Halloween, it's Tuesdayand it's Halloween.
But I recall being in, I'm goingto say, 10th grade, which would
have been obviously after I was13, because I'm not smart, I
(07:50):
was probably 25 at the time.
I was in 10th grade, one of ourteachers warning us not to go
to a certain city and it'scalled Tagus and it still exists
in the middle of North Dakotaand it was quote unquote famous
for its satanic cults andsatanic worshiping because, like
all the buildings and shit wereabandoned many, many years ago
and there was like one churchand four houses in town, oh, and
he claimed that he'd wenthunting with a bunch of his
friends and he'd found, uh likea deer strung up in like a
(08:11):
sacrificial type of a pose, withall of its insides ripped out
on the floor and things like allover the place.
He's just like you, gotta stayaway from tegas, take us to
where all the satanists are.
And we were just like okay,mister, I don't remember what
his name was, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So did you go.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, I've been to Tegus multiple times of course.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Dude, if anything that guy would have been like.
I mean not that I would want toget involved in that you know
other parties and stuff but justto check things out.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Definitely did not break into the church because
that would have been illegal,because there was rumors that
inside of the church the crosshad been turned upside down and
it was all covered in 666graffiti and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Oh yeah, you don't want to get anywhere near any of
that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah.
So of course did not break intothe church to go see if any of
it was factual and from what Iwas told, none of it was factual
.
The church was still upright,but the church had clearly not
been used in many, many years.
But the legend of Tega still itlived on throughout us as
teenage kids in the 90s and weall went I shouldn't say we all,
but a small handful of us wentand checked it out.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's cool.
I'm trying to think if I hadany other Halloween, interesting
Halloween memories, the onething I remember, one thing I
remember the most aboutHalloween I remember the very
first Simpsons Treehouse ofHorror.
Watching that aftertrick-or-treating and actually
getting a little bit scaredduring the Raven short.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Never bored.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
But there was always one thing I always remember.
This was especially when I wasa little kid.
I always found this fascinatinghow this, like emotionally,
this hit me, was the CharlieBrown Great Pumpkin Halloween
special, good special, greatspecial.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
This hit me was the uh, the charlie brown, you know
great pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, halloween special, good special, great
special.
But what really hits me aboutthat and watching it's like what
?
For me, watching that specialafter trick-or-treating late
night on a vhs tape on halloween, like 10 o'clock, is not so
much the first, what is like a45 minute thing, so like the
(10:11):
first 40 minutes, but it's thelast five minutes that really
hit me.
But it's that build up tohalloween everybody loves
halloween to do this.
And then at the very end, whenlinus falls asleep in the
pumpkin patch, and at like twoin the morning, three in the
morning, um lucy, yeah, that'shis sister.
She goes out to bring him backin and then the next day, like
(10:35):
you know, charlie brown and andand uh linus are talking um by
the brick wall.
Like they, like they do likethey tended to do yeah, but it's
just something about the peaceand like the finality of
halloween when it ends, and likethe calm, I don't know.
There's just something aboutthat that puts me into like a
real.
Like a real, like it's.
(10:59):
It's a cool feeling.
It's a very like relaxed, umzenlike feeling is the ending of
that show.
I haven't watched that in years.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Rachel would totally go for that.
She's a big peanut spark.
She would definitely be downfor watching that this year.
Don't you have a normalHalloween ritual of the show
that you watch?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
The Garfield Halloween Adventure.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Have you watched it yet, or are you?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
saving it.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I'm saving it.
I haven't watched it yet.
I got to watch that and I gotto watch the Ernest Scared
Stupid.
That's my other Halloween movie, but see, the Garfield one is
along the same lines because,again, the first 25 minutes is
all on Halloween and then theend of it is the calm, relaxing
post-Halloween depression orsomething like that almost a
(11:47):
retrospective right, yeah, so Idon't know watch.
Watch that and let me know whatyou think, but like watch it, I
guess.
Watch it on halloween night aslate as you can, yeah I'm done
but you'd have to find it though, because I think it's only on
apple tv oh yeah, so you'd haveto like go to the library and
(12:07):
get the bust out, the vhsthere's got to be a plagiarized
copy floating around oh, there'sgot to be two you yeah,
somewhere on the I'm gonna it'snot probably not the dark web,
but more like the, you know, thegradient web, the gray web,
yeah, all right.
(12:28):
Well, let's get into video gametalk.
Okay, so what we're going totalk about?
We just got a couple of thingsto go over, and our first, since
we have finished our lovelymonth of October, let's talk
about our games of November.
So, phil, I was about to go offon another tangent.
You know what, screw it, I'mgoing off on another tangent
before.
Yeah, do it content like contentcreative this is something that
(12:52):
I haven't seen in a while.
It's actually been probablyabout two or three years, at
least in my memory.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but forthe longest time and I'm talking
mid 90s through mid like 2015,2016, something like that
(13:12):
november was the month for gamesabsolutely is when the best
games ever came out.
All your amazing games um, youknow your zelda's and I'm not
gonna get it, so just basicallygames.
You know, uh, the, the heavyhitters always came out november
, but then it shifted and a lotof the heavy hitters were coming
(13:36):
out in january and februaryover the past few years and now,
at least for me for these gamesof november, it looks like
we're back to getting a lot ofheavy hitters did so maybe I
read this list wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I mean, I've had like three beers, but there's
nothing so yeah, you tell me so,phil.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Is there anything at all on that list that interests
you?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
um truthfully yeah, truthfully read it again.
There's nothing here that supertickles my fancy.
Uh, tetris forever intrigues me, just because it's a tetris
game and it's a game that youcan play mindlessly to kill some
time yep uh, that's their legohorizons on the list, just
because I do typically enjoyLego games.
(14:27):
I'm assuming Lego Horizon isbased off of Horizon Zero Dawn,
so unfortunately I probablywon't be able to play it.
I did not hate the firstHorizon Zero Dawn.
Go ahead, okay no, no go ahead.
Is that what it's based on or no?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
it is.
It's based on horizon, zerodawn and it's on your favorite
video game system, not just theplaystation, but also on the
switch.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, that means I can play it I don't know if I
want to and then somethingcalled slitterhead.
I know nothing aboutslitterhead, but it's a cool
sounding title where it soundslike it might be something that
I'd be into.
So I've got that on my list aswell.
But when I look at this and Iknow that this list does contain
a Mario Luigi brothership,which again I don't know what
(15:09):
that is there's nothing herethat stands out as that big ass
triple a title that is going tobe in everybody's stocking at
Christmas.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, triple a title that is gonna be in everybody's
stocking at christmas.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, that's usually you know what the thing is?
It's usually um call of duty.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
That's, yeah, which is already out, which just came
out, yeah, so, uh, all right,well, tetris forever.
I'll go off my, I'll go, uh,I'll give you what I've got.
So, tetris forever.
Yes, that's a collection of awhole bunch of different tetris
games okay, that's cool sothat'll be fun to add to the old
collection.
Uh, slitterhead, absolutelythis looks like a.
(15:54):
Uh like a, like a silent hillstyle game oh, yeah, totally so
it's all sorts of messed up, sothat one I'm looking forward to
uh, stalker 2 comes out.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Always love a horror-based first-person
shooter I didn't play the firstone so that one didn't make my
list.
It probably should have, and Ishould probably play the first
one as well I wonder if that'son game pass.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'll have to take a look.
Let's see why it wouldn't be.
Oh well, uh, let's see next.
Uh.
Dragon quest 3 the hd 2d remake.
I'm not a big rpg person, but Ido like dragon quest games you
like fighting slime?
I do like the slime, I also.
I like that the art is bytoriyama okay so, uh, what else
(16:40):
do I have?
uh, so I've got mario and luigibrothership, which I'm looking
forward to that.
I have that game pre-orderedand that is that's, uh, the next
game in the mario rpg mario andluigi rpg.
So if you ever play likesuperstar saga, which is a good
game, or bowser's inside storyor anything like that, so it's,
it's, it's a turn-based um,turn-based um rpg okay, um you
(17:07):
know, I can see the appealbehind it, but it's it's
probably not going to do muchfor me, unfortunately understand
.
The other one is also aturn-based RPG and that's Metal
Slug Tactics.
And man, do I love me someMetal Slug?
I always love the animation onit, just the Contra-style
(17:29):
gameplay.
So this one is it's a MetalSlug game, but it plays like
Final Fantasy Tactics.
Like Final Fantasy Tacticsexactly.
I was going to say like FireEmblem, but that's the same
style of game.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Or Wargroove game or wargroove or.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
But now that, um, now that I saw that metal slope
tactics is coming out, I bustedout out of the old uh backlog
the uh alien tactics game that Igot oh, I guess yeah, there's
aliens and and it came out, it's.
It's not, it's a series x game,so it's not like an xbox one
(18:07):
game, right, but it's an.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It's an aliens game, but it's all that like grid
based, turn-based rpg when I wasyounger I really appreciated
tactic styles games, but as I'vegotten it's lost a little of
his excuse me, of its luster,just, and I think it's due to
the fact that they are kind of atime suck and they do take a
(18:29):
lot of time to get into and getinto the groove, and I don't
necessarily have that kind oftime lane around, unfortunately.
Yep, yep, yep.
So I've fallen off of thatwagon a little bit falling off
of that wagon a little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yep, that's what happens.
That's what happens.
Yeah, I just look at my gamesand I'm like I don't wanna.
I just like I don't have thestrength to get into a new story
I just want the comfort of whatI know I just want the comfort
of what I know.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
That's why I always default to fall guys and
fortnite yep look at you I'llmove this show in overwatch
that's right, the show inoverwatch exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Uh, let's see.
The only other game that's onthis list is actually a pc game.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So I'm interested in a pc game and that's planet
coaster 2 another game that,that style of game when I was
younger I would really be into,but again, just don't have the
patience for it right now, Maybeafter I finally win a jillion
dollars playing blackjack orsomething maybe I'll have that
(19:30):
kind of time, there you go.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yeah, I.
The only reason I would pick itup is because a buddy of mine
well you know, kurt, he's gonnahe's, he loves the Planet
Coaster games and he goes fullham into those games.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
No kidding.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Oh yeah, and this one has a form of co-op.
So basically how the way itworks is you can share your save
with somebody.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
So it's like you're not playing at the same time,
but whenever you the game, itsaves what you've done onto both
files, so it is.
It is kind of like co-op, justnot it's.
It's like co-op with extrasteps, split co-op, there you go
, something like that.
Yeah, so, yeah, so that'swhat's coming out in november.
Uh, I almost picked up.
(20:23):
I don't know we already talkedabout that how I was tempted to
get a ps5.
That I'm like no thanks,because it was on sale like two
weeks ago, so I'm not gonna getinto that.
All right, anything else,anything else interesting news
related or anything that we cango over before we go and get
into what we played not that I'maware of.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I did download called the newest call of duty.
I haven't played it.
I debated deleting it almostautomatically just because I'm
tired of seeing the logo, butit's there, I hear it kind of
gets horary at the end, so I'mkind of intrigued by that that's
why I downloaded it.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Okay, so I but I haven't played it.
But yeah, I downloaded itbecause, yeah, I'm waiting for,
looking forward to that.
Um, it's, I heard the samething yeah, we're on the same
page.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Then Call of Duty we're going to talk about all of
next week Well, probably not.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah, all right.
Well, let's get into what weplayed then.
So, phil, what have you beenplaying over this last week-ish?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Oh boy, unfortunately I have nothing new to add to
that collection.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm trying to stop and think that if I did play
anything else aside fromInscription, which I did spend a
little bit of time with not aton of time, but some time
Outside of that, new season ofOverwatch started two weeks ago,
so that's consuming my time.
Mlb the Show just started aHalloween program that's
happening, where you unlock abunch of 99 players, so I've
(21:42):
spent some time with that.
I stared at the casting ofFrank, whatever, and tried to
talk Rachel into it, but she wasout, so we did not start that
yet, unfortunately, and so I'vejust kind of been stuck in this
weird gaming rut.
It's also been very busy for melately, so I mean unfortunately
, I have not had more thanprobably about an hour, hour and
(22:02):
a half a day to put intoanything.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And so I just knock out my daily types of missions
and quests and I do that andthen go to bed.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
All right.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
What about yourself, Mike?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Well, myself, I actually was able to get a few
games in.
Normally, this time was allabout scary movies, so like you
know, the wife and I we did adouble feature of Halloween 1
and 2.
And we saw Smile 2 in thetheater.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
You said that off-air .
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I think last week.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah, enjoyed that yeah week.
Yeah, yeah, enjoyed that.
Um, yeah, saw a movie calledfreaky with uh, what's that?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
guy's name vince vaughn think you know the movie
freaky friday.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah, I think.
The same concept, only the twopeople that switch bodies are a
teenage high school girl and aserial killer like jason oh,
okay yeah, so, but uh, in termsof the game space, uh, wait was
freaky good it was okay.
It wasn't bad, it had it's.
(23:12):
It's a horror comedy a comedyit's a.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's a yeah a core calmer, calmer calmer, that's
how they say common boston yeah,boston, anyway, that's not.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
That's number three after new york and la, for me,
anywho, uh, we don't want to getinto that, so other so in terms
of games I played.
So I finished my halloweenseason for fall guys, uh, got
unlocked.
My um unlocked the countdracula, which was like the last
(23:50):
one to unlock okay, nice job,so I mean good game yeah, gg,
and I started playing a gamecalled crano origins.
Uh, it was on Switch.
I think I got it on sale forlike it was on my wish list.
I got it on sale for like sevenbucks.
It's basically it's a ShovelKnight clone, but instead of a
(24:11):
knight with a shovel, you are askeleton with a, and I always
mispronounce this Scythe, scythe, sith, scythe.
I always go with scythe myself,but I barely speak english so,
yes, so cranial origins fun gamelike they did, like I don't
(24:34):
care that it's a, that it's ashovel knight ripoff and it
plays a lot like shovel knight,looks like shovel knight it's.
It's a fun ha-style game.
In fact, I think our friendmight recommend it for next year
.
Oh yeah, and not only that, butthe developer, I think, just
(24:54):
announced that they're workingon a sequel, and the sequel is
going to be a Metroidvania-stylegame.
Oh interesting Yep.
Sequel is going to be ametroidvania style game.
Oh, interesting yep.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So that's krano k-r-a-i-n-o origins.
Check it out, it's a prettygood game.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I might have to get that elixir.
Yeah, I also see here yeah, see, uh, I also started up a new
game plus of dead space.
Oh yes, and I played it farenough that I could get to a,
the bench or the shop orwhatever, and then fully max out
(25:32):
my um, my, my, uh, my armor andget the achievement for it.
And then after that, and then II then an enemy popped out and
it tells you.
It says, when you play new gameplus, you will um come across
new and more challenging enemies.
So I'm like okay, and so I cameacross, uh, another necromorph,
(25:54):
which is just your basic one.
But this one was this one wasdark, red and had glowing eyes
and took about 15 shots to takedown as opposed to the normal
three.
So then I'm like you know what?
I think I'm good, I'm cool withthat achievement.
I got the achievement for themaxed out armor.
(26:16):
I think that's good enough forme.
That sounds ridiculouslydifficult.
Yeah, that sounds ridiculouslydifficult.
Yeah, the game is hard, even onmedium difficulty.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It really is a challenge.
So then can I ask you, sinceobviously you completed New Game
Regular, how was your entireplaythrough of the remaster?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I had a good time with it, except I think we
talked about it on the lastepisode, where there was some
stuff that got on my nerves.
Like you know, enemiesconstantly showing up behind you
.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
There are some parts where just oh yeah, it was like
too much backtracking.
The game was really dark atpoints and then I realized well,
all I'm doing in this entiregame, this entire game, all
you're doing is fixing differentparts of the ship.
That's the whole thing.
(27:10):
That's the whole game.
Oh, you need to go here and theyou know, the johnson rod is
broke.
You got to get a new johnson rodin there I hate it when the
johnson rod's broken I gotta geta new johnson rod, then we to
go over to storage and get aJohnson rod.
You know, here's the guy I gotto fight, so you know it's.
But it's still still a fun gameand I love the combat and
(27:30):
everything.
It's a horror based fetch questgame.
It's well, that's basicallywhat it is.
Yeah, but you know, I liked itGood.
And then the other game Iplayed is a game called retro
realms, and what that is.
That is a collection of two 16bit style side scrolling hack
(28:00):
and slash games based onHalloween and evil dead.
Oh okay, yep, you did.
You got that then?
Oh yeah, no, oh, I definitelypicked it up yeah, so I picked
it up.
It came with actually when Iopened up the xbox game at xbox,
not the switch version umyou're maturing mike yep, I know
I'm trying to do better.
Uh, it came with a pack ofcards.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So that was pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
It's nice to see you get the extra stuff in there.
So I opened up the pack ofcards and it just had different
characters from the game andquotes from the movies that they
were in and stuff.
But you can play as MichaelMyers.
You could play as Ash from EvilDead and Army of Darkness.
You can also play as lauriestrode from the halloween movies
(28:43):
, jamie lee curtis's characterinteresting and then you can
also play as kelly.
She was one of the maincharacters in ash versus evil
dead the series okay yeah, soit's two.
So it's basically it's those twogames they're.
The games aren't very deep, Ithink there's only like 10
(29:05):
levels in each, but you can.
You can play that.
What's what's cool is like allthe extra bells and whistles.
You can then play as Ash in theHalloween game or as Michael
Myers in the evil dead game.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Uh, and I think it unlocks different um, different
scenes and things like that.
But the game isn't set up Like.
It's like, oh, press start andthen, oh, choose your game.
No, the game starts and you'rein an, in an old, abandoned
arcade almost, and so it shows,it shows the two games, and then
(29:44):
you have to it's a first personview you walk up to the game
and press the a button to selectit.
Well, when you're done with that, you can walk around this
location, so you can go in, andthere's a trophy room and
there's a diorama room.
So whenever you beat a level, Ithink like a diorama of the
level will show up on a pedestaland there's a diorama room.
So whenever you beat a level, Ithink like a diorama of the
(30:04):
level will show up on a pedestaland it's pretty cool.
So it's kind of like how a lotof those, um, acrylic things are
being done where it's like it'slike three, I don't know.
It's really tough to to talkabout it and not show you, but
it's.
It's like there's a backgroundthat's like an acrylic stand and
then in front of it there'sanother acrylic piece and then
(30:26):
in front of that there's anotheracrylic piece.
So it gives you like a 3d ishview of a of a scene okay, that
makes sense.
Yeah, um, so you can.
You can get those.
You can in the game you cancollect tickets by, you know,
killing it or finding hiddentickets, and then you can use
the tickets to purchase thingsin the museum.
(30:48):
So I purchased um michaelmyers's clown outfit from the
very beginning of halloween andit doesn't really do anything.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
It's just there in the museum, uh, you can't equip
it, as you're playing withmichael myers playing the
halloween version of the game asfar as I know, no, because it
the the the clown costume looksrealistic, whereas the game is
16-bit okay um, and then sothey've got that for halloween
and evil dead.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Uh, another cool room that you can go into and this,
this one is.
This one is really cool and I'mreally, I was really happy to
see this.
There's a room with a bookshelfwith a bunch of vhs tapes and
an old school tv and an oldschool vcr.
As you play the game, you canfind vhs tapes and then you can
go into this room and then grabthem and put them in the vcr and
(31:36):
watch behind the scenes videos.
Uh, you know a whole bunch ofdifferent stuff.
You know cut scenes, history,so there's some really cool
extra bonus features.
Like I was just watching, like Iwatched the video of like you
know how they came up with theidea and all that other jazz,
but it was.
It's really cool to see allthat bonus stuff.
You don't see a lot of that.
(31:57):
Like I love looking at thebehind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, that stuff's always just a good fun time to
watch.
Um, my question for you is dothe two games play similarly, or
are they pretty different, or?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
similar style style and that's the thing.
The games are just okay.
Uh, it's, it's, it's basicrun-of-the-mill walk left to
right.
A guy comes up to you, youattack him, you you fight a boss
, and then you collect uh candycorn, which is like currency, at
least in the in the halloween,where I didn't play the evil
(32:32):
dead one, I played the halloweenone okay um, you collect candy
corn, which is the currencywhich you could then use to
upgrade michael myers, give himextra life, unlock some extra
moves, things like that.
Um, a few problems that I havewith the game.
First of all, the there's someinput lag and it's and it's it
(32:55):
really like like there's a downattack you can do.
You can use a down attack whichthen, after you hit, hit him.
Michael Myers will pogo off ofthem like a Scrooge, mcduck
style.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
But there's just the slight and I don't know if it's
a delay with the input or ifit's because Michael Myers has
like a wind-up animation beforehe swings the knife.
It could be one of those, but Ilooked up on reddit and I'm not
the only one.
I thought it might have been mytv, but I'm not the only one
that's having this problem.
There's, there are people onreddit they're saying actually,
(33:29):
was that it was bad enough thatI actually they're not going to
reply.
I know they're not going toreply, but I sent them, I put, I
tweeted out to the developerand I'm like, hey, there is some
bad input lag on this game.
Is there anything being doneabout it?
And it's not like it doesn'tbreak the game, but it's
(33:49):
something you need to becognizant of and work with.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
It tarnishes the experience.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
It does a little bit Like okay, here's a guy coming
at me, Well, he's far enoughaway.
I should probably press theattack button and then he'll
just run into my knife when Iswing.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Oh, what is that bad that's pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
So I've died quite a few times because of a missed
attack due to some input lag.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I might try go ahead, sorry, no, you do your thing I
might try.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
I might try a wired controller and see if that makes
a difference that's probably agood call.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Yeah, um, is all the bonus content exclusive to the
physical copy or physical, yeah,physical copy.
Or is it also on the digitalversion?
It's on the digital, you meanlike the videos and stuff yeah
yeah, no, no, you unlock thevideos throughout playing the
game yeah, but I wasn't sure ifthat was one of those special
add-ons that only happenedbecause of of having the
physical copy, nope, and I don'tremember exactly, unfortunately
(34:52):
, but how much was it to to buythe, the game it's?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
40 bucks.
Right, it's a 50 game, sothat's a full price game, which
to me it may be about $10 too,too expensive.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I was about to say, that makes the, the, the lag
that much more.
Just take the time, guys andgals.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Well, here's the other thing and so so anyway, so
, like I said, the gamesthemselves they're not bad, they
just could have been, theycould be better.
So I'm hoping that they and wayforward worked on this too, and
way forward was awesome with.
They're usually really good.
(35:35):
Yeah, a lot of fun achievementsthough really a lot of.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Now you're speaking my language achievements.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yes, there's, um, like a lot of see, and that's
what I like, what I liked aboutthis like there's there's your
achievements for beating thelevels, but then there's like
achievements for bounce on likefour enemies without hitting the
ground, you know, but thenthere's achievements in the
first person arcade area.
(36:05):
Oh, no kidding.
Yeah, there's one, you knowwatch your first video, purchase
your first thing.
But then there's like when Iwas uh looking at the diorama, I
like flipped it over to theback and which was pretty cool
because it showed michael myersin the um the sanitarium, but
then when you flipped it aroundit was the same scene but a
(36:27):
hellish like it looked like itwas in hell instead, because in
the game when you press the bbutton you flip between the real
world and the demon world.
So while you're playing, sothere's like some hidden areas
that you can only access byflipping into the demon world.
So I just I spun the dioramaaround and then, when it did
(36:48):
that, you know the achievementon the left, so you can get an
achievement for that.
There's an achievement for umtrying to exit the, the, the
arcade no kidding yeah, so I waslike I was in the first person
mode and I turned around and Iwent to the door and I pressed
the A button and then theachievement popped up that said,
well, at least you tried thatreminds me of even I think it
(37:12):
was the Simpsons hit and rungame, where you got 10 points
just for pressing start to startthe game oh yeah, was that one
called like worst achievementever, or something like
something like that yeah that'sfunny are there a 1,000
achievements per game or is it1,000 between the two?
Oh, it's 1,000 per.
I like the fact that.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Xbox is doing that.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
And there's 74 total.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Holy hell.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I'm just looking at the achievements right now.
View a diorama.
Beat the world, watch a video.
Oh yeah, there's an achievementfor pressing start.
Okay, beat the world, watch avideo.
Oh yeah, there's an achievementfor pressing start.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Okay, here's the downside you ready?
Speaker 3 (37:51):
yeah, maybe my gamer score right now 81 154 uh, you
don't like that that unevennumber no, there's achievements
that are worth one, there'sachievements that are worth
eight.
You know which.
You know.
That's all right.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
It is what it is, but um that was a tick of mine for
a long time, and then I was justfinally like you know what.
I can't do anything about thisat this point.
It's just gonna be what it isyep, so, yeah, so 74
achievements, 2000,.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
But you know, let's see, play a game 10 times, watch
all the videos, buy moresouvenirs, you know.
So there's some fun ones.
Use only the sub weapon to beata level.
Yeah, beat the game with nohealth upgrades purchased.
(38:47):
Oh, wow, they got achievementsfor pacifist runs.
That's pretty cool, but anywho.
So again, it's interesting.
I hope they can make thecontrols a lot more responsive,
like immediate responsive,because then, yeah, that would
(39:09):
make it a lot easier.
There's also some parts thatare kind of hard because, like,
not due to it being challenging,just like they're, just like
throwing too much at you yeah,well, that's not a game tends to
do that at a certain point aswell, unfortunately just to kind
of create long jet, long jet.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Longevity, there it is uh within, within the course
of the game.
Um, if they tighten up thosecontrols and you see anything
that's posted about it, youhappen to notice it, let me know
and I will gladly buy that game.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
But with that kind of a lag, it's just, it's, it's,
it's a huge turnoff,unfortunately, just here it is
yeah, because I mean, if you'rehaving you, if you have like a
hack and slash side scrollinggame like that it's got to be
tight it has to be tight, it hasto be perfect, like there's no
room for error.
Yeah so, but I I'd say I'dprobably give it like a six out
of ten.
(39:58):
That's not terrible that's notterrible, it's, it's doable,
it's it'sable, especially if youlike those horror movies.
But yeah, I don't know, it'sjust okay, all right.
Well, let's get into our lastsegment of the night, and that
is oh, phil, we need to saygoodbye to our friend, our good
buddy, Retro Game Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
I'm going to miss him .
I, I'm going to miss him.
I mean, he's already hit theroad.
He's you know, he's peeled thatpavement away in his motorcycle
.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
That's right, he's driving off into the sunset.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Leaving a trail of memory cards behind him.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah, memory cards that don't work anymore With
Lara Croft on them.
With Lara Croft on them,alright.
So last week, the game that wasassigned to us by retro game,
frankenstein, was a game calledinscription, and actually you
know what I do it's.
I haven't done this in a while,but let me pull up the uh,
official description ofdescription.
A description, inscription,description an inscription
(40:57):
description.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
It's like an inception deception okay, so
here we go.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
From the creator of Pony Island and the Hex comes
the latest mind-melting,self-destructing love letter to
video games.
Inscription is an inky blackcard-based odyssey that blends
the deck-building, roguelike,escape room style puzzles and
psychological horror into ablood-laced smoothie.
Darker still are the secretsinscribed upon the cards an
(41:25):
inscription you will acquire adeck of woodland creature cards
by draft surgery andself-mutilation.
Unlock the secrets lurkingbehind the walls of lushy's
cabin and embark on anunexpected and deeply disturbing
odyssey.
So the game is actually oh well, it'll.
It's currently on sale.
(41:46):
Actually it's on.
It's on sale on xbox for eightdollars, but it's also on game
pass, which is how we cameacross it.
So inscription it is.
It's a card game and it's um.
You're playing um this gameagainst a mysterious, really
creepy stranger.
And basically, the way and helpme out, phil, the way the game
(42:09):
works is you have cards that aredifferent animals.
You have to sacrifice animals inorder to get better animals.
Yes, and to activate otheranimals like.
So, for example, you've gotsquirrel cards.
Squirrel cards are your basicones, so, like you have to, and
(42:29):
you can only put, I think, fouror five cards down in front of
you at a time, it's four as faras I played that's four.
Okay, so you put down a squirrelcard and then, let's say, you
have a wolf card.
Well, the wolf card needs asacrifice of two drops of blood.
However, a squirrel only hasone drop of blood, so you need
(42:51):
to put two squirrels down beforeyou can put the wolf card down.
So you kill the squirrels, youdrop the wolf and then every
turn the wolf will attackwhatever's in front of it, and
if there's nothing in front ofit, it attacks the other person
you're playing against.
And if it hits them, thenthere's some uh, gold or
(43:13):
something trinkets that droponto a scale, and once the scale
goes all the way down, then youwin.
So every time the other personattacks you, it drops onto your
side of the scale.
So it's you know, it's likeback and forth with who can get
the scale to drop all the waydown first.
Some of the creatures havedifferent um, I guess uh buffs
(43:39):
or abilities yeah, abilities,buffs, both work yeah, so like
if you have a flying one, it'llfly over whatever's in front of
it and attack the person, or theother person there's also.
There's also.
You can also collect items anduse them, kind of like what was
(44:00):
it?
The goats or something likethat.
The goat?
Speaker 2 (44:02):
in the bottle, the goat, there's also the tweezers
or the pliers.
Um, there's different creaturesyou can get throughout the
course of the bottle.
Uh god, what else did I see?
What like the differentcreatures or the different items
no, the different items,because there was a small
handful.
There was like a fan as well,or something like that that
(44:23):
would give a buff to somethingthat you played.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Or could attach to Yep, so while you're playing
this game, the person you'replaying against is like dropping
hints as to why you're there,things like that.
And then they roll out a scrolland right before each round of
the game you play, you have alittle character that looks like
a monopoly piece or somethinglike that.
That and that bounces on a pathand you can do things like get
(44:52):
extra cards, you can sacrificeone card to make another card
more powerful, and that's inbetween, like the different
matches um one thing I'll sayyeah.
So one thing I'll say this gameis really creepy.
It's not scary, but I love howlike, dark and foreboding it is
the vibe of it is outstanding.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Just you being trapped in a cabin with a dude
that wants to play cards withyou.
It's like if we were drunk in acabin and I just want to play
cribbage like no, you're notleaving until you beat me five
times.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Yep.
So yeah it's, and the guy thatyou're playing against.
You can't see his face, but youcould definitely see his eyes.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Yeah, the eyes are really creepy.
And then when, when you, whenyou're playing each round which
is like the scroll, you knowwhen you get through, get to to
the very end, you play against aboss and he puts on a mask of
the boss and it's really creepy.
And again, really creepy,really really creepy.
Factor, um, and I guess there'sa story involved, but I didn't
(45:55):
get far enough because, man,this game is tough.
Like I made it I, I made it tothe angler and the second boss
for me was the angler and hisability to use a hook to grab
one of my creatures and then usethem against me.
That killed me.
I'm like I couldn't do it.
So I don't know, I've got toplay the game a bit more to get
(46:17):
better at it.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
I guess it's a game that I was super intrigued by by
, and I love the hand-holdingphase because it made me feel
good about it.
I am notorious, and I've saidit on this show more than once,
that like ccgs are just not mystyle.
I'm not smart enough to playthem.
In my own words, nobody else'swell, I'm sure plenty of other
people have said it about me,but the vibe of this game and
(46:41):
even like when you get past theprospector, as you're leading up
the prospector, he's like goover to the candle or over to
the candelabra on the wall, go,grab that, bring it back here,
set it down.
But you see, like I'm gonna saysix other things that you can
interact with, and then he saysone of like your cards says
something along the lines ofthere's a way out of this room.
It's in the room, but you can'tgo and interact with him and
(47:04):
stuff until you get to certainpoints in the story, right,
which is where the escape roomaspect of it comes into play,
which is super intriguing to me.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
But it's tough yeah, it's a hard game but it's still
fun, still enjoyable, like Ireally love the vibe on it.
It's the vibe is outstanding.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
Yeah, it's just a matter of being able to put
those pieces into play.
That will get you in the rightdirection, and for people that
are into CCGs or card games,they'll enjoy this a lot more
than I did.
Not saying that I hated it, butjust my brain doesn't work that
way.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
Yeah right, I'm not smart enough.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
But I still enjoyed the time I had with it.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Most definitely.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
Yeah, but I still enjoyed the time I had with it.
Most definitely Cool, all right, anything else.
I got nothing else on the game.
It's on Game Pass.
If you're interested, intriguedand you have Game Pass, pick it
up.
I think it's on sale.
Like I said, it's on sale.
If you can get it for like $7,then I think it's worth it,
especially if you like thosetypes of card games or you like,
you know, spooky games yeah, ifyou like spooky games or card
(48:06):
games or a combination of both,go check it out.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Go play through it a handful of times.
Uh, I think you'll have a goodtime with it.
I'd like I enjoyed it more thanI thought I would, but I didn't
enjoy it as much as I.
In my brain I had bellatro inmy head and it wasn't Bellatro.
Speaker 3 (48:22):
That's right.
Yep, that's what I was thinking.
Nice, alright.
Well, so that does it for RetroGame Frankenstein's games for
