I led you astray. I'm sorrymy people, the people, because

(03:58):
little did I not realize, youknow, coming fresh off a honeymoon and
being excited to see the Acolyte andjust hanging out with a bug Kevin.
Yeah. Game of Thrones, HouseDragon, Yeah that comes back this week,
not yesterday, because like this Sundayweek ahead of time. It's I
was excited to watch it yesterday andthen like the time it was supposed to

(04:19):
come on, it was like nineo five. I was busy doing baby
Sometimes babies go crazy around like aforty five. It so okay, he's
coming down. He was going onTwitter like it's especially quiet, like no
one wants to talk about it.I guess so, and they're like,
oh, this next week. Yeah, that's what kind of happened to me.

(04:41):
I woke up like because usually,like you wake up, you can
get the tea of what happened lastnight, and I'm like, oh,
I saw the n X two battlegroundthings. You know, all you go,
you fing Paige, you lost unfortunately, but you know what, we
had a good time. Uh,it's still good match. And then oh,
House of Dragon excited for next week, like, oh wait a second,
wait, it's on Max at all? Why is it Max Brack?
Oh, that's why it's next week. Did I did see a cool thing

(05:05):
though in New York. I don'tknow what bridge was, but one side
of Team Green, one side ofTeam Blacks. Don't know where you're looking
for the bridge. I thought it'sa big banner. I don't know if
it was. I don't know ifit was like a I or CG just
in the picture. Well, theyactually paid for a giant however tall.
The bridge is bannered to go downthere, So that was pretty cool marketing.

(05:25):
I mean, we'll find out probablylike a day or two if it's
still there and I probably won't bet. But anyway, we'll talk about that
next Monday. But don't worry.We have plenty to talk about today.
But we always start the podcast properlywith what you're doing. We talk about
the shows and movies, were watching, games, we've been playing, lives

(05:46):
we've been living. And because itis Monday, Kevin, good sir,
you get to go first. Sothis weekend was basically an attempt, not
attempt, but the start of megetting active game. Because I've pretty much
been on the sofa for a month, I haven't done much. This is
my first day wearing pants for morethan an hour or two, so it

(06:08):
has been It's been definitely a change. So on Saturday, I decided I'm
gonna get back to my my,my groove and yes, okay, I
used to go for walks every Saturdaymorning last year and they were very while
while it is, you know,healthy for you to be active, also
very like, you know, mentallyhealthy, you could get your thoughts cleansed.

(06:30):
So I actually went on my firstfive and a half mile walk in
a year. And how did wedo? A T shirt? Real sweaty.
Yes. And the other thing wasI forgot how how tiring of five
and a half mile walk. SoI got back and sat down. I
thought it was good, sat down, got them like, oh no,

(06:50):
oh, no, good lord.So I spent the rest of the day
kind of like, uh, broughtmy feet up, like if you can
touch the ground right now, Ican't do it. But walking back on
getting a little bit more active.It's the same thing on a Sunday,
takes the kids around at a baseballbaseball birthday party for one of our least

(07:11):
friends. And then my first dayback to work was a day like I
said before, And I'm doing somethingdifferent now because my rare station now is
like in a nettle neighborhood. It'snot like a big old office building.
So I said, from now untilthe end of the summer, weather permitting,
I'm going to park in the neighborhoodand walk to my station. Well,
make sure you're parking in the safepart of the neighborhood. You do
live near Baltimore, essentially Baltimore,This neighborhood is one of the good neighborhoods

(07:36):
now a block before the neighborhood.But all right, well, don't make
sure if you have to park itthat block before you make sure you double
locked. Yeah, Baltimore is whereit just place in Baltimore called TV Hill.
Basically all the TV stations are sothat that's where I work at.
So it's like wanted the bottom ofa hill, were at the top of
the hill, and it's one oflike the middle of the hill, Channel
thirteen. I'm parking more Channel thirteen. It's like I walk uphill to work.

(07:58):
It's a little bit. I gotto get to work now and then.
Other than that, watched some wrestlinglast night. Trick Williams brought home
to dubn Ethan Page. I hada great, great, great showing.
I'm hoping for great things him forhim going forward. I need to get
back on it. But I watchedanother episode of the The Monarch Show.
I keep for getting that back.Let's do its wa CHOHn, I keep.

(08:22):
I have Apple TV and I keepforgetting. And this is kind of
news too. They showed the firstlook at what the hell is the show
called, oh Monarch, No,not Monarch, what's the Adam Scott show?
Oh Severance. They showed like afirst look. It was only like
two seconds, and I'm like,that's why I want Apple TV plus I'm
like, oh wait, but Ihave it now. Probably'll end right before

(08:43):
that comes out anyway, So Iwatched that. It's a really good show.
I just keep getting that I haveaccess. I need to move it
like further up in my like homeicons selection, I forget, forget I
have that. My Xbox PlayStations alittle different because you get like whatever,
the most of ones, but Xboxis late all the streaming services and then

(09:03):
like two games, like all right, there are the two games I play
and then just the streaming services.So that and then like I said,
first day back and work today.So that was fun. I need to
learn how to stay it, sayawake in the eight hour span of time
again because it was taking naps,lots of naps. I got to figure

(09:24):
that out again. So like aroundlike one o'clock, I was hitting them
demean like, so keep you eyeon me. Might I might fall on
twice doing its podcast. I don'tknow what about you, buddy. Yeah,
So for me, obviously, wehad the Pride parade Capital Pride.
That was really dope to be there, real sweaty on that survived it though,

(09:46):
So that's good because sometimes like theparade is supposed to start at three.
It always starts like an hour later. You've been on them too,
you know how they work, andthat's usually that hour late delay is like
what causes the suffering later. Buthey, you know we survived. That's
what matters too. Too hot onSaturn. Usually this thing is like you
guys out there on a brink ofday. It's been a cool year so

(10:07):
far. I don't know blame globalwarming. I don't know what's start on
that diet tribe. But yeah,it was fun. Nevertheless, it was
cool. More came with two wholeshow, just cool to hang out with,
interact with listeners too. On topof that, Maura and I pretty
much binge watched the next day afterwhen you kind of got a rest after
the parade, All of Bridgerton partone of this current season and pretty good.

(10:31):
But I will complain that they said, oh, the main actress of
this season, who's in Dairy Girls. If you watch Dairy Girls as well,
she's lady whistled down. She's goand get a glow up. That's
a funny day she got. Shegot a glow up. And all it
was was they gave her a differentdress and she still looked the same.
I was like, that's not aglow up. You need to change your
hair. At least you dress havelights or something. What she wears normally

(10:54):
orange dresses to wearing green dresses.I was like, oh, but here's
the thing. My like film TVmotif was her dress got ripped and underneath
was orange. I was like,oh, look at that theme motif right
there. She can't change who sheis. Can't change who she is.
She's a feathering tin through and through. Can't change that. But yeah,

(11:18):
really good. Part two I thinkcomes out this week. I think on
Thursday. So we'll be competing againstthe Boys, which is true, that
is coming out this week. Firstthree episodes. I'm truthful on that one.
Okay, that's good. Yeah,so we'll talk about that next Monday,
because three episodes is a lot towatch it one day before talking about
podcast. And on top of that, I've officially restarted or starting a new

(11:39):
really for the first time, Falloutfour. I thought I was gonna go
in with all these mods that weregonna like make the game look pretty and
run so great. Yeah, itturns out I didn't realize you can't get
achievements with mods on Fallout four atleast, I was like, damn it,
well I'm gonna start fresh. Iguess you put again you want,
but you're not gonna get the achievements. Yeah, I'm like, come on,

(12:00):
and like there's one like there shouldbe some mods, which I get
it. It's extra content that it'scheating of, like oh, yeah,
have the dog always be with youinstead of taking up a companion slum Like,
yeah, I want the dog withme every time, not only when
I need it. Funny too,I think about it back to to when
achievements were first conceived of how they'resupposed to be, like a thing that

(12:22):
we get, like discount to gasstations and like a restaurants and that that
never came. It just became asixty points for what whatever. But yeah,
I'm one hundred percent truf. I'mlooking at the Google Prime Video thing.
The first three episodes of The BoysJune thirteenth, which is Thursday,
So don't worry, I'm one hundredpercent true on that one thirteenth. The

(12:45):
calendar. Now they're going to calendarwhat carve out three hours for coun to
watch the Boys. That's gonna berough too, because the Boys some children
get away for watching that work.Wasn't mute headphones? Yeah, watching in
a corner away from windows might shutmy door, like ken, you're sleeping
the door about. No, I'min a meeting. I'm in a meeting.

(13:09):
I mean I'm in a meeting withTV. Who's TV. He doesn't
work here, dull boys his teamsworried about this. But anyway, that's
what I've been doing, obviously,Love. What do you guys? Tell
us what you've been doing in thechat, Twitch dot TV, slash Infinite,
Underscore pods. But Kevin, let'sget on into it because it is
jam packed today. It is timefor the news news, and first things

(13:35):
first, rest get ready to feelold because Lion King turns thirty years old
this week. Oh lord, goodlord, good lord. Ah my nineteen
ninety four. Huh ninety three?Oh yeah ninety four. Wait, Oh,

(13:56):
I'm a year in nine mon amI no, nine month? It's
okay, Yeah, we're gonna gowith that. We went on early walkers
and walking like nine ten months.I don't remember. I can't really tell
you. Got that's mama about thatone? What were almost look at the
movies in the next ninetyours came outa year all right, well you look
that up. Well, I talkabout this story because after celebrating's thirty year,

(14:20):
it's kind of the year of theline again because we're also getting live
action MUFASA supposedly in December most likelyat this point, but this year Disney
is actually re releasing the nineteen ninetyfour classic because on June fifteenth's actually it's
anniversary, which is Saturday, you'llactually be able to watch it in theaters

(14:41):
through July. Just fun. Lasttime was in theaters was actually last year
to celebrate Disney's hundredth anniversary. Butthis is even cooler because you know it's
the actual films anniversary and then youcould I would expect some theaters might do
like a double feature, like they'llsave the like right to view it to
play it so you can watch theFASA then watch that, or vice versus

(15:03):
the twenty eighteen remake. One soother family friendly movie that came out in
ninety four, we got Jack andthe Beanstalk. I didn't watch that.
Karina Carina woo Be Goldburg. Iremember seeing previous for that. Angles in
the Outfield, Oh, Richie Richand blank Check those are those are good

(15:24):
ones. Looking back on blank Check, that's a very uncomfortable man movie Little
Giants. If you're a you've everplayed football, peewee football, you'll always
watched that with the team for somereason. Also got Baby's Day Out and
D two The Mighty Ducks and alsoMy Girl Too, Now My Girl One,
My Girl Too. Oh. ThreeNinjas, yes, kickback, though

(15:48):
not the first three Ninjas. Andat the first Finn Stales movie, The
Page Master. I love the pageMan. I kind of watched this movie
Monkey Trouble. Trouble was great.It's the girl who is the It's the
sister from Hocus Focus. That's wheneverybody's like, know what chimpanzees are cool?
I want one of my house becauseall these movies having fun. And

(16:08):
Jimmy Perry put it best blank Check, she kissed chickens a child a child,
but it was weird. It wasweird. But because you know,
Lion King's getting resurgence back in thetheaters. Obviously got moved Fossil later out
this year. Kevin, my questionis kind of was a primary before getting
the big talk of the video games. What movie do you wish you could

(16:29):
see in theaters either again or forthe first time because you never saw because
you were growing up and couldn't goto see in theaters. For me,
unequivalently, it's probably Back to theFuture. Oh good one. Yeah,
the first Back to the Future.I think that that movie takes you on
such a journey to be in likea big dark box, not contracted by
you know, your phone, familyaround you, getting food, whatever like
that. I think it's focused onlike houses, kid gonna get back to

(16:52):
the future and still be go andget back get back to the Tucher.
It's probably yeah. I mean theyalways do Star Wars re releases nowadays,
let's face it, so like Ikind of wrote those off. But Back
to the Future is a good one, Jamie Perry said, Lord of the
Rings, which you don't see toooften them redoing. There's rumor we might

(17:12):
get I think Fellowship re released potentiallythis year money or a four K cut
or something of it. But that'srumors. So I skipped Star Wars,
which we know that partly might goto my one that I thought of when
I thought this question, Small Soldiers. It's a good one. It's a

(17:36):
great movie. So I mean,you show me if you watch this podcast
or listen, you know what SmallSoldiers is, but essentially came out in
nineteen ninety eight. I don't rememberwho even directed this movie, but essentially
this like weapons company makes chips that'ssupposed to like give their weapons AI or
something to make them smarter or whatever, homing beacons, but instead of going

(17:57):
into the weapons, they go intoa toy which are the Argon Kite,
the Gorgon Kites which is Archer,and then the Commando Elite, which was
voiced by Tommy Lee Jones as thelead as uh where as Major Chip Hazard.
So it was directed by Jill Dante, who also believed the Gremlins good

(18:22):
for him. But the main thingwas like this movie like Out of Nowhere
had obviously they had to have thetoys because about toys coming to life ala
Chucky or something like that. Yeah, and I still have at my parents'
house the Chip Hazard, which Ithink the figure if you have like the
weapons with it is worth like onehundred bucks. But it was it was
the first like that in Pokemon wasthe divide of all right John brother John's

(18:47):
getting one version and Hoodies getting theother. So I would get all the
Commando Elite. He would get thegorgon kites, he would get red,
I'd get blue form Pokemon. Andthat's how I kept going. That was
a great movie. That movie waslike I feel like that was always on
HBO back like it was a Saturday. Maybe you had this little cable you
can watch. You can watch itall day. It'll be on at I
don't know, eleven o'clock. It'llbe on at one o'clock on HBO East.

(19:10):
You want to get at four o'clockon HBO East and back again on
nine o'clock HBO. We can watchit all day. Well, Kevin,
I'm gonna delight you to your heart'scontent because it's on Max. You can
watch it anytime of day you wantto watch it. So I haven't watched
it so long. May its realdated, it's real faday. I should
watch all my kid movies. Wewatch what I want, Kevin, watch
watch a small That's the only giftI want is the one something I want

(19:34):
to watch. Jamie Perry put Pokemonthe first three movies. I think brother
John and I saw the first one, but we didn't see the and the
first one and the third one wasnta cause it was like you got the
collectible cards, and Burger King hadthe cool toys and all the good stuff.
Uh Gyles makes Aaron Grau says,uh. Iron Man one. I

(19:56):
think I've been cool too. Isaw it on DVD, so I never
saw in theaters to south and cool, just like at that time, to
not know what it is and thenwatch it blow up, blow up,
funny. I saw Iron Man oneat like this weird thing where IBM's out
in front of the theater from upthe new chip or suppose oh yeah,
was it for small soldiers what itwas for? But I ended up seeing

(20:18):
the movie for free. It wascrazy. Thank you IBM. You like
Kevin's interest in superheroes and not scienceand technology that I don't care about that,
but just interesting. I know kindof. Now that we're in the
era of streaming, you can watchany movie you want, but sometimes just
seen in the silver screen is evencooler, which is why you can still

(20:41):
rent theaters out on your own.It's just going to cost your armor leg
if you want to do that.Remember, it wasn't that it wasn't expensive.
Don't depending on like one hundred bucks. You can watch your home movie
theater. I don't know what ifit reverted back to what it should be.
It wasn't it a while? SoI remember like this was it was
like ten or eleven. The movietheater we would always go to they I

(21:03):
guess got rented out by a churchso on Sundays and we would usually go
on Sundays, so like get thelike super early matinee, Early Bird Price
before twelve or whatever. So wewe're like hold hold next door, watch
Transformers next Door. Baby, it'smiss Promise fighting. By the way,
speaking of the Pokemon, I caughtthis today. I can't see the range

(21:29):
mungo oranguru. What is that?Well, I'm gonna tell you something,
Kevin, I'm gonna show the screen. Keep yours up because I also caught
one. But I'm gonna do youbetter. Okay, don't know I got
way for Pokemon go to load becauseit takes a little bit to load down
to the problem. You might justki kick me out to you. I
had to actually relog into it.It's weird and here, let's see,

(21:49):
don't show that I caught the shinyversion of what are you even trying?
Like, I don't know. Amonkey with a leaf and they didn't do
it a rangoutang yet and they did. Now it's done, they can't do
it again. They probably will dothree more versions of that. By the

(22:10):
way, good dude number fifteen one. But anyway, let us know what
movie you would want to see intheaters, either for the first time or
again or you never got to seein theaters ever if and underscore pods on
social media. So we'd love justto shout yeah, maybe start you know,
Thursdays Wednesday, Thursday's episode with thatbefore we talk about that aclight.
But Kevin, we gotta, wegotta stop it with the Pokemon go talk

(22:33):
because it's time to go talk aboutSummer Game Fist maybe. And also sorry
to you whenever saw a endgame inthe theater. You miss you missed it,
You missed. Kevin and I huggingat each other in tears, old
man grown men crying, excited,yelling at the screen with other grown men
and sweaty next to each other.Oh, we's sweaty because we're excited because

(22:57):
it's on here. Both all right, So we had Summer Game Fest and
Casey didn't know what that is.It's kind of a replacement for E three
now E three's it's dead dead.Let's face it. At this point,
it will come back and it'll stilldie again. It never happened again,

(23:17):
but essentially it all started. I'mJeff Keeley in case he didn't know.
He's kind of the pundit for theGame Awards, and this is kind of
the sort of sister the cousin tothat as well, where this is where
they announced new games Game Awards,they also announced new games, but they
celebrate the games of the past year. Originally E three would be a weekend

(23:38):
and then you'd have show four days, like a Monday through Wednesday. After
we've gone to a couple Definitely checkout those podcasts if you want to go
back on the archives YouTube dot comslash Infinite Unscore pods because we aren't just
attempt to do stay up all nightand then go to E three the next
day, because that that didn't workout, didn't work out at all.

(23:59):
We were older gamers then, weeven older gamers now, even older gamers
now. But essentially all the newgames come out the rest of the year
and into the next year, sonow into twenty twenty five is usually what's
get announced, and that's what happened. So Summer Game Fest is kind of
the encompassing event of everything, andit's sort of distinct it. Summer Game
Fest Live is the actual presentation twohour stream of announcing some video games.

(24:23):
Xbox had their own showcase, Ubisoffhad theirs about an hour ago as of
this podcast recording. Uh so we'regonna break down sort of our our hitters,
our losers, and then anything elsewe want to talk about with each
showcase. So that's okay, Yeahfor the Summer games. Oh sorry,
Kevin, before you can do it, there you go. I think it's

(24:49):
easy to figure out what was mybig hit from Summer Games Fest. It
was Skate four. No, No, it wasn't that, Okay, it
was Power Rangers Readers. Oh okay, so it was a Power Rangers game.
Yeah, I didn't get up.We talked about games that should make
a couple of weeks ago. Wedon't want to say why I haven't made

(25:11):
them yet. M hmm. Thiswasn't what I wanted. This is still
pretty cool now, Kevin. Thisis kind of in line of the teenage
meeting Ninja turtles like Shredders Revenge Game, right, Yes, and that's why
I like it because it's obviously probablygonna be some kind of online multiplayer faceted
to it. M hm. Soyou just get on a lot of friends.

(25:33):
Power Rangers come on and it's probablybutton mesh. It's probably no X
heavy attacks, circle light attack,square block. Let's just get it,
you know what I mean. Imean, that's all you need. And
it's very like it's funny because it'sessentially like kind of the same game as
like you played back in the day, Like they would have side scrollers for
Power Rangers, but they've just likemade sure you know, the the bit

(25:57):
rate and everything for the characters isgood good, and that you know,
every animation in between the cut sceneslooks cool, you know, isn't just
graphic beats moving inch by inch.And yeah, a lot of variety of
levels. I mean, you canride in your vehicles as well as yoursords.
It looks like a whole lot offun. It's it's probably not that

(26:18):
difficult, knowing again, it maybe because if you remember games back in
those days could be could be frustrating, maybe maybe a little difficult. I
don't know, but it made mesmile. I might actually play this game.
I actually like this game. MyI guess the cool thing was is
that it also isn't just like thebeat them up scrollers that is like you're
doing a mech battle with the Zords. You're doing sort of a power cycle,

(26:41):
right, was what it was calledback in the day. Power cycle.
Wherever the car was it those cycles. It was cars, whatever they
wanted on the season, whatever itcould sell. Yeah, I think I
think it would be cool. Ithink the only thing it has going against
it is one, well, where'sthe Green Ranger too? Like, I

(27:02):
think it really needs to just likethe power Like you've kind of said the
past, like a few weeks,is you want a good Power Rangers game.
It is cool, there's more ofa throwback to the eras of old,
but you want like a cool,modern, open world Power Rangers game.
You know, I want this gameto cost a billion dollars to make
and then make two billion. Iwant I want to grant that motto level.

(27:26):
That's what I want. I thinkmy kind of my one takeaway obviously,
besides Skate four which really didn't showus that much, besides Tim Robinson
just going on a die tribe ah, I think you should leave. Probably
might have been Harry Potter Quiddage Champions. I think just because I think that's
a cool video game, just towhether you're gonna waste four hours or get

(27:49):
really into it. That's that typeof game that is sort of at leisure
game because it is you know,in your fandom, it's it's not FIFA,
it's not Madden, but kind ofcould have the same consistencies. It
just depends based on the trailer they'reshowing you, based on versus the game
player actually gonna see for that game. There's always that's always the question that

(28:11):
you get the fancy looking trailer,like what does the actual game boy look
like? Let me know? Then, Yeah, because like in the trailer,
which if you're watching the YouTube version, like you could see like that
looks like some good animations. Idon't think that's how the game gonna be
because also, how are you gonnabe able to switch between being the the

(28:32):
chaser versus the seeker and the buttand then the bludger and all that stuff
on the fly. Is it gonnabe like a FIFA or you're like all
right, or is it gonna bemore like an Overwatch where all right,
I am this one person for thisentire game. You're gonna be Fia.
You can switch players as you justpassed the ball Madden, you can like
play off the ball, play bethe ball carrier, so to speak.

(28:52):
So that's a good that's a goodquestion. How are they going to pull
that off? Because it's a lotmore complicated than an actual game in our
world, our physics, this isa game one of the people want to
broom. By the way, doyou know the actual leader you can join
if you want to play on theweekends. There is And I almost did
it in college. Then they shutit down because it got too physical and
there I couldn't do it. AnIt's like, come on, we're innovation

(29:18):
is tradition. It's George Mason.We got to learn how to play these
games. Come on, let's havesome fun actual points. Yeah exactly,
but that comes out September third.Uh So, if you're looking for some
Harry Potter and this, I knowthey did update Hogwarts Legacy, it ain't
much of an update for one yearlater update or any DLC like that.
Uh So, I guess this iskind of your update in lieu of that,

(29:41):
even though it's a completely separate game. But it is free if you
have PlayStation Plus on September third,cool, that's cool. Addition to that.
Now, speaking of PlayStation games,Kevin, how excited are you because
you did beat both of the gamesfor you now to go on your own
adventure. But Lego style in theher Horizon world with Leah, you know,

(30:03):
I feel like, don't get itwrong, it's cool concept, but
I feel like usually Lego games arewith you know, IP, that's that's
like established. I don't know ifHorizons established that deserves a Lego game yet,
you know what I mean. Yeah, And the weird thing with it
is like I think it's cool,and I definitely thought the entire time is
playing during Summer Games Fest, soit's like, oh, this is just

(30:26):
one aspect of this mega game oflike we're gonna have all the video game
characters in it. But now,I mean it makes sense now of why
they did you know, Horizon theDinosaurs as Legos like a year ago,
because they were teeing up this gamecoming out. So experience when the freaking
thunder Jaw shows up, it isnot jovial, it's not happy, serious,

(30:49):
it's not a fun time. Idon't want no top down now because
it is a Lego game. Imean, oddly enough, Horizon is PlayStations.
Sony's like only native teen game property, not counting Spider Man obviously because
it's Marvel whatever, but everything elseSony kind of makes his mature. This

(31:10):
is only teen rated game, bothof them. So it is interesting them
applying it to an even younger audienceto maybe, you know, get you
ready for the show that's going tocome out in the near future, Slash,
get you to play the games becauseyou kind of did the remix version,
which is good for you because youbeat it, or if you want
to experience it lightly for the firsttime. Two. Like the other thing

(31:30):
too, they look really cool asLego models. I will buy those many
figures exactly. So all that beingwhat I like itl ready. For one
an, it looks like it wasa lot of time and the care was
put into the game. It waslike a lot of fun. It sounds
like they need a lot of strategyto beat these things too, because like
it's like each each dinal Bot youyou fight as a different strategy to beat.

(31:56):
They kept that. That sould thegame to uh as well, like
it. It'll be Yeah, it'llbe interesting that is supposed to come out
Holiday twenty twenty four, so that'sa good I'm assuming before Black Friday and
then all right, hey, let'splay this game together as a family.
But I already know if Kevin isplaying with his daughter, Leah is all

(32:16):
his daughter now, not just thedaughter. I have to give credit to
Kira now is that immediately I cantell Leah is going to be like,
I want to do this, andyou want to keep going with the game,
and Lee wants to go goof offand be hot dog. I'm telling
you right now. And Jimmy Perry, I don't know if your kids are
only to play games or not,but I know I want to listen to

(32:37):
Luca Farti's his kids did the newthing in parenting. They didn't prepare you
for when you were a kid.When you'll tell you about ip parents when
you're younger is when your kids wantto play video games while you're playing video
games, Like, no, I'mplaying video games. How dare you ask
me? This is my time?I'm playing my time, payday, my
time, and then kind of mymain other main takeaway at least for me,

(32:58):
Kevin, we can go do youto Dragon Ball? Sparking zero looks
dope as hell. Yeah, sparking. That's sparkling, Kevin, It's not
sparkling water. It's sparking zero.Like electricity looks really cool. I feel
like dragon Balls under like a renaissanceright now. Mm hmmmm, and this
game is going to help it.Yeah, So this is technically, uh,

(33:21):
the successor or in line, spiritualsuccess or whatever to the Budokay Tenkachi
games. If you play those backof the day on PlayStation two mostly I
think yeah, but those were likethe definitive dragon Ball games. If you
had it, or you had afriend and went to their house, you
played those games. You got tounlock all the characters. Pretty much same

(33:42):
things going on here. I dolike it's the you have some what if
scenarios. We'll see if they're actuallypay out to be anything, or just
like, oh, oh you wantedto go with Piccola, well Piccolo died,
but if you didn't go if PiccoloPiccola lived, like, give me
some color with it, you know, you go. I think the cool
thing is with it, like isit spans all dragon Ball, which I

(34:05):
think a new dragon Ball game hasto do that. But I think for
us kind of the dragon Ball Lightfans. It also is how you can
access all this content and no charactersinstead of having to go in fresh and
watch all this all these episodes andmovies and spin offs. Yeah, that's
the other thing about it is,like I said, it's a lot of
dragon Ball content. There's even newcontent coming out as we speak. That's

(34:28):
different than anything like there's like eightof loves of Super saying now Gokan has
a new form called a Beast mode. You saying, Gods, a lot
of stuff going on. I'm thinkingof maybe trying to get this too,
because I I haven't played a fightinggame for since seconds. Yeah, and
I think this is a good like, not to say it's a dumb game,

(34:50):
but it's a good like let menot think about things and just hit
these combos and hit me, hitmy command maas and all this good stuff,
you know, my gatling guns andall think cool thing about all rackon
ball z fighting games. As always, they've always put effort into the story
mode as well as people love thestories. I'm just playing the story mode
that it could be just as rewardingas fighting. I'm not going online playing
fighting this fighting game I'm just gonnathere is an online component to this game,

(35:13):
but I'm gonna get nowhere near it. I'm gonna tell you right now.
I mean, I will never forgetthe first time I played Cap Converts
that said, kay, somebody jumpoff the side of the screen and hit
me. I was like, youknow what fighting games on my genre they
do right there? That would makeno sense using the border of the TV
as as your weapon. That's notcool. But that game comes out October
eleventh, so you're looking for anOctober game that's definitely one to hit.

(35:37):
Any other takeaways keV from the SummerGame Fast Live portion of Summer Games Fast
Marsac still looks cool. I don'tknow what and I don't know if I
should have bought the game in acouple of years ago or not. I'm
still torn on it. I rememberI played the very first one long PlayStation
two a long time ago. Theycouldn't be Pokemon. I have a game

(35:57):
Boy yet, so I got Mosshundreds in of Pokemon, Like, that's
the same thing. Now you're talkingabout Monster Hunter Wilds, right, yes,
good, now, that's really cool. I mean, I don't know
if I'm a Monster Hunter Gamer.But even the first one look that came
out a couple of years ago lookedcool. And maybe I missed the boat.
I don't know. This is outin next year, twenty twenty five,
so maybe I missed the boat onthe thing. I don't know.

(36:19):
Yeah, I think this is definitely, you know, with it being kind
of the next big Monster Hunter games, that's where you kind of like,
let me tiptoe what's available now,just to kind of get fresh up in
the lore, but I mean casuallyand then you can get super into this
one at the same time. Butit's a soul soccer I'll tell you that
right now. I got time forsol Sometimes just look at the trailer.
It looks like a soul soccer.You got the grind for these sandworms or

(36:43):
whatever it's popping out at you rightnow. It looks like we might have
a so soccer. Give a gamecoming up single with Star Wars. We'll
talk about that later. Yes,we gotta wait too. You gotta get
through the Xbox Game Showcase before weget to that. But it was interesting
kind of just talking about the showcasesgenerally Summer Game Fest and Xbox so we're
like, hey, Star Wars Outlawson Monday, so make sure you watch

(37:04):
that. But here's our thirteen secondtrailer. I think everyone kind of knows,
like that's gonna be the next bigTriple A game. A lot of
people buy. Not everybody, buta lot of people buy before. You
have your Assassin's Creed and Call ofDuty coming out later this year too,
ks right, yeah, August thirtieth. Yeah, so I mean that's the
next one. Besides, I meanyou got a few sports games coming out.

(37:29):
Sports game is not really a goodmeasure of water college football that I
am waiting for. Like, thissucks. I know what's gonna happen.
I don't know. Everybody's so excited. I hate it. Why do they
do that? Why do they dothis to us? Any other big ones?
You want to move to Xbox?Xbox all right? They yes?

(37:53):
I do think out of the three, Xbox had the winner, I guess
talking about them overall, just becauseof the volume of games it had,
and they were all good depth ofgames too. Then I would probably put
Summer. I'd put ubisof probably justbecause Summer I had Star Wars, Outlaws

(38:13):
and Assassin's Screen Shadows and it wasreally depth, like ten twelve, ish
minutes on both of those. Uh, then Summer Game Fest just because there
wasn't a lot of games appealed tome. But hey, you never know
once you get later in the year, like, oh, that game actually
is pretty good. I should realizeit. Yeah, that's true. Like
to tell you, my mother Hunter, I thought undred years ago could be

(38:34):
into this because it looks really cool. I feel like I missed it.
It is. But Kevin, what, what's the first game you want to
talk about off the cuff. Oh, Fable Table. I didn't expect that
one from your baby. I'm ahuge Fable fan. I love face.
I liked Fable one, I absolutelylove Fable two was okay, is the
one that kind of hooked me intolike that generation game, Like, oh

(38:57):
my gosh, this game is somuch fun. It's literally just a game
about what they call a hero,and the hero's journey is what the game
is about. And they've been talkingabout this game for like ten years.
It feels like in this play yeah, and you know we're closer to get
it's still not getting it, butwe're closer to getting it. And I
was scrolling on I was I likea birthday party yesterday, so I was

(39:19):
kind of watching things reaction on Twitterand I saw a Fable like, oh
my gosh, an actual trailer.Actually just gaze, what is happening?
Yeah, I think the cool thingis too, is with we kind of
talked about last I think it waslast year when they had the first trailer
with the guy from the Watch whois like a giant. Was that,

(39:40):
Oh, they can kind of dowhatever they want with the French. Obviously
it has to be Fable, butthey can kind of do whatever they want
mechanics wise, story gameplay wise atall, as long as it has that
Fable feel. And as of rightnow, I think they got that,
you know too, I mean evenwith with like the humor, Fable's kind

(40:02):
of a funny game, you knowwhat I mean. There's goblins that jump
out, you throw fire at themand they hold their butts on. I
don't know. I'll always say thatif Shrek ever had like a serious game
and lived in a Fable, that'sthat's really what it kind of felt like.
Yeah, and I think it's alsoa good comparison to like a Witcher.
Now, granted, I only playedlike ten minutes of The Witcher and

(40:22):
I've never played a Fable game,but just based on the trailers, you
know, like, oh this ismore lighthearted witcher. You know, we're
getting some fun times here, butit will still be spooky. Like you
said, I would definitely recommen Ithink Pables is still Fable still. Xbox
game pans take a weekend pay peopletoo. I think that's how I got
that it's Fable two. Was thatthree sixty game? Was that a normal
Xbox game? Three sixty maybe earlythree sixty two, there's a lost title

(40:45):
came out two thousand and eight.Yeah, are close to being a launch
Xbox three sixty launch was twod Notwo thousand and five one three sixty launch,
so it was close. You know, that's the first year when the
bangers come out after the launch decame. But this is a great This is
a it's a great game. Idefinitely if if you have to, if

(41:06):
you have the time and you wantto play though Fable two and three,
they just get Pable one because Ifinally, when you go back two generations
before three sixteen trying to play gamesand it don't have auto same, it
pisses you all. So don't goback to that generation to play it.
Play three sixty games and going forward, it's a it's a really fun franchise
and I'm really excited to see whereit goes next. Yeah. I mean,
well, I have to wait obviouslya little bit for it to come

(41:29):
out, because I don't even thinkthey put it or twenty twenty five.
They said, I think that's goingto be a late twenty twenty five game
before it actually comes out. Fingerscrossed, Fingers crossed. Now, if
Kevin, what do you think mystandout game was? Because you know,
I'm a sucker for the certain typeof games and I always like to talk
about Kevin never plays them. Okay, Oh, Life is Strange? Correct,

(41:51):
good serve because Max is coming backyard Life is Strange. Double Exposure
got announced Deck nine I think nowis owned by Xbox. I'm pretty sure
announced officially that this is like thefirst big, first big sequel we're getting
in the Life Is Strange franchise,which I know encompasses a lot of games.

(42:12):
There's definitely the Life Is Strange gameis deepot Life Is Strange games five
games. I think let's see,all right, you got come on,
give me Life Is Strange. Lifeis Strange. Before the Storm, which
is a prequel The Awesome Adventures ofCaptain Spirit, which was just a side
demo. Life is Strange too withthe Diaz brothers Life Is Strange, True
Colors, which is really good,and then then we get this one is

(42:37):
down't play these games? How longare their piece? I think the first
two probably eight hours, yeah,and True Colors, which was really good,
was like ten hours. They're allreally good. I know there's they
were. All those games are relicsof the episode of gaming, which I

(42:59):
think really anyone's a fan of anymore. But who knows now if game pass
maybe actually is a thing again,Now where you get? You know,
your chapters one, two, three, four usually are five episodes or whatever,
really good, each character having kindof their own superpower which was dope
as hell. And this one we'refinally getting a sequel, playing as Max

(43:19):
again, who was from the firstone where she could go back in time
and stop things from happening the Butterflyeffect, which was really cool. But
in this one she can go intonew realms. But the main question is
where's Chloe, her love interest?Because here's the big thing, Kevin,
I know you don't care at allif I'm gonna tell you right now,
the big question at the end ofLife is Strange one was did she save

(43:39):
bay or did she save the bay? The bay they lived in or her
bay. That's a cool little atwist, a little twist, and so
the whole thing is Life is Strange. Tape Too came out and like canonizing
it. They referenced the like stormthat tore down the town. You're like,

(44:00):
wait, which one is this?And and the developers are already teasing,
Hey, what's happening with Chloe andMax and like, well, you
have to find out closer to October. I wonder if when they if they've
ever finished this game franchise, leastthem all like in kind of like you
know, like the Steelbox. Wellthey did do like that. I think

(44:21):
it's a remastered collection, but Iwould assume they would do an anthology.
I mean, most of them areon I think all of them are on
game Pass now. But I dothink it's a cool, uh continuation and
just you know, I think thefirst one came out probably twenty fourteen.
One. Yeah, I feel liketwenty fifteen, so a good nine year

(44:43):
journey for Deck nine. Good forthem, but I'm high for that and
just to play some story games.You know what I'm saying. Story.
I mean there are a lot ofstory games on a on a on a
mobile that you can play that arejust ridiculous, a lot of fun.
Anything any other high lights Kevin foryou from the Xbox showcase. Oh yes,
Scars of War E day. I'mof course, now we didn't really

(45:06):
well some would say we did seegameplay, some would see we see CD
trailer. We're gonna say it wasall in engine footage, at least for
her. I mean that could bedecided when when it ever happens, but
you know whatever, But the factthat you actually can play as your gears
guys the day it happened, theroom where it happened really really cool.

(45:27):
Yeah, we got to see MarcusPoenix and the trailer being saved by Dom
and you know, you had youhad the piano chords of Mad World and
like, oh my god, oharound me are familiar place. It was.
It was a scene Man sixty.When this game launched, every everybody
was playing it was. It was. It was a fun time because it

(45:49):
kind of I don't say revolutionized onlineshooters, but it was like the first
online treat that was fun. Itwas the first person it was cover basic
like that was that was a brandnew thing, and to see it kind
of come back with a lot ofsupport looks like I'm really excited to play
this. Yeah, I think thecool thing is like a lot of people
I saw a comment. Not alot of people, A good number of
people like, wait a second,we're supposed to be getting Gears of War

(46:12):
six because to finish the trilogy offour and five. I have never played
one, two or three. Istarted four and five because that four I
think came right out when Xbox onecame out, and then same thing with
Gears of War five. It cameout with like the series s or something
like that, and now I wasseeing that Marcus is old and all these
people are dead. Oh what sospoilers, but it is cool that this

(46:35):
is kind of the kind of thatif you kind of think about the Halo
Reach treatment for Gears of War kindof just to go back and then you
know, there's still our rumors thatthey're gonna do a whole Gears of War
collection, kind of like the MasterChiefs collection, so you can play all
these games that they play. Wellsixty three a second and all that good
stuff leading up to like a Gearsof War six, which would probably be

(46:57):
like the last one of that journeystore with Marcus for sure in it kind
of build I think for the finale. I mean, that's a really good
idea. But Gears a Ward adbeen one of my favorite shots. I
didn't play that. I didn't playthe most previous one. I think I
played one through one through four.I didn't play five yet with Female Protector.
Yes, and it's actually pretty good. Uh. They definitely they definitely

(47:17):
went into sort of an open worldside of it, where like it was
a mission, but then you wouldgo uh into like an open world environment
then back into the mission, sothat as a mechanic dad to work on.
But I'm assuming this will be you'rein the town where emergency happens and
that's kind of your open world andyou have to just do the missions come
in more like a Halo. Iguess yeah it did. Is such a

(47:40):
great because even in the game youonly played as Marcus Phoenix, you didn't
play as your rest of your squad, but you found out affinity for your
squad kind of like mass effect Techfor me. But again, I came
out around the same time, Likeyou never played as anybody but your shepherd,
but you care for Garrish, Youcared for everybody else comes real excited
about this game, so you kindof cared for your squad basic they are,

(48:04):
you know, the romances every timeTrax he was there too, Rex,
and and and and the other onewhat's his name, runt grunt grunts
like sort of Sun not really sonbecause he's growing up the tube. Yeah,
So what I thought it was,I was like, Wow, they
actually going going back this bag.What's what I feel like. I haven't

(48:27):
been the only one that's been likescrewing Microsoft. Want games, you don't
want the services, like they finallygot it. Yeah, And I think
this is the culmination, like yousaid, of like not having those services
and everything. It's having these studiosthat they bought pre pandemic around the pandemic
now being able to show games offand have them, you know, potentially
come out twenty twenty five or thisyear, and I kind of think kind

(48:51):
of segue another one. I thinkthe other side of that is Indiana Jones,
which like looks dope. It literallyis gonna be Xboxes uncharted if it
does come to PlayStation. Who knows, but it looks fun. The music
is there, you know, kindof the banter is there, Troy Baker
kind of doing his Harrison Ford impressionstill, which it still kind of sounds

(49:12):
like that. But I think that'sonce you get used to the game,
you you'll kind of see past that. But I'm excited for that to come
out to I think that's supposedly Novemberish too for that game. Was imagine,
I'm going to Harrison Ford video game. What's a video game, Clarissa,
what's a video game? I playIndiana Jones on the Second Genesis back

(49:34):
in the day. You know whatit? Yeah, I mean it looks
great. But this is still probablygonna be a game where I watch on
YouTube because I'm just not a fanof first person adventure game is this is
me? Just me, nobody else. I'm not saying it's going to suck.
I'm saying it's not a game forme. It looks amazing. I
will say that that's amazing. Themusic of Adiana Jones adds like what the

(49:58):
feeling you need? What a game? So you get the music, It's
like, oh, I do youknow what games going? The game whatever?
But the music is here, sodon't feel good. I think that
the interesting thing is though once itcomes out of like all right, will
it? Did it do good enough? And now will it? You know,
give sequels and all that good stuffso we can have a video game
trilogy of Indiana Jones movies. Youknow, yeah, because the movie there

(50:21):
are a lot of time you canplay it in between the movies, especially
between like the last the third oneand the fourth one. Ys a lot
of time when you can be stillkind of like an active pion, well
archaeologist, active archaeologists will what's moreadventures? Yeah? But uh and then,
Kevin, any other big takeaways fromXbox Game Showcase. We know we're
trying to keep these podcasts under nowwe've got two biggies coming up too.

(50:44):
Just thank you Xbox for finding finding, listening to your players and developing good
games. And I'm in the MarketForce series. Yes, now, Kevin,
let's get on over to the bigdogs, as we like to call
Ubisoff. They kind of had asleeper middle, but they had two big
ones in the very end. Wehad Star Wars Outlaws and Boom. We

(51:06):
had on top of that, assessthe Creed Shadows which one was your favorite
takeaway out of the games. Idon't know. It don't look really good,
like it's one of those one andone A type of things right now.
I did. Look, it lookslike for Star Wars Outlaws they doubled
down. You can go from planetto space. You can do it.

(51:27):
It's not gonna be you can doit, baby, pick your landing spot
and you'll just go get a cutscene. No, you can really just
leave the planet and go to space, start fighting to come back and land.
Yeah, double down on that.And then with that's his creed shadows
that I got what I wanted tosay least time I got gameplay. It
looks really, really, really good. So I don't I think this may
be one of those things where it'slike, I don't know, if I

(51:49):
wanted to rate my excitement. StarWars is like ninety seven and like ninety
seven and a half, I'm reallyexcited at Yes, I think the cool
thing is is with Star Wars Outlawswere in this familiar setting. Obviously they
like the mission they showed off inthe in the use of showcase was that
you go to moss Isley and itlooks one for one like it does in
the movie obviously be people being differentbecause it's now in between Empire and Return

(52:15):
of the Jedi, so the samepeople aren't there obviously, but it is
cool like, oh, you haveto go find a gunslinger, and like
your Star Wars brain says, well, I know cad Bane, I know
all these bounty hunters, but you'relearning new characters that don't have to be
the same character in every damn StarWars picture or anything, which is fine.
I think that's what fleshes out theworld. I think the UI looks

(52:36):
cool. The pet I forget whatthe dog's name is off the top of
my head, but I think it'scool interactions that for you to like set
them out stealthily or not. Andthe ship looks cool, Like the ship
looks a lot more detailed than itthen has any right to be. And
I think it's because we were spoiled, Like we weren't really spoiled with Jedi,
Fallen Order and Survivor. But reallythe ship was just let me get

(52:59):
to the next destination. Should havenot let me live in this ship.
You could customize your saber, butI was really in that ship. Another
thing too about this game to sendyour death message. As immersive as Jedi
Jedi following Order and Jedi outcasts were, this seems even more immersive, Like
like this is gonna be your You'regonna be in the world of Star Wars.
You're gonna be, you know,buying stuff at the market, looking

(53:22):
for for for people, bounding forbounties. It looks like you're gonna be
just immersed in this world, evento the point of a little bit of
a little bit of a ship battle. So I'm like, this looks yeah,
and like i think, coming freshoff of Starfield, which is kind
of what we wanted that ship combatto look like, and this looking pretty

(53:44):
on par with that hip combat fromStarfield, at least in this one glimpse
they showed us like, hell,yeah, we got it, We got
what we wanted. Ship battle stuffon Starfield wasn't terrible. It was just
like it was happening out of nowhere, not even moving like when you're space
to stuff doesn't like you're moving,just kind of floating around. This looks

(54:05):
like you were actually moving toward thetarget and thevading a target. And I
think the cool thing is there's alsoa mechanic. I'm just gonna skip around
if you're watching the trailer or anythingwith us. One, they showed you
landing on the planet. I don'tknow if there was a cut or anything,
but we're gonna say, sure,you landed on the planet. But
like there is kind of like theAssassin's Creed feature of all right, your
dog can sort of signal off there'sany enemies near you by you you have

(54:29):
a scouter that you can mark theenemy, so they're forever marked while you're
going in there. And then youhave the option of either using the stun
feature on your gun, on yourblaster or using the normal gun. We
weast the baby. We ain't usingstunt at all. No blues at all,
baby, just Red. I meanto say the best didnt Tailor and

(54:51):
mend Yeah, But I mean,I'm excited for this game. I think
what they showed was really good.I think it's just gonna be as long
as it is like an environment youwant to be a part of. I
think that's kind of the appeal ofthis of an Assassin's Creed but put Star
Wars on it, you know,and a far Cry, but put Star

(55:12):
Wars on it. That's what Ifeel like. I'm not gonna assess the
Creed in far Crid. It's actuallywhat it looks a lot of like because
it's Assassin's Creed with the gameplay farCrib with kind of like the world around
it far Cuss a little bit.I think Parkar is a little bit more
involved when you're actually in the worldand the Creed is. But this looks
great, Like I don't know thatI was nervous about this game, like
what three months ago. Right nowI am constantly optimistic. You can even

(55:37):
hack as a droid. You gottado the damn twisty left and rights to
get the hacks right to get theinformation, which is cool. That's gonna
be a lot of fun. OutLaws might be it. I feel good
about it. I'm feeling good aboutthis. And just the tiny details,
like everything's in air Bash and ittranslates it for you, and then all
the UI is in the Star Warsfot you know. So it's just appreciated

(55:58):
things. You know. We didn'tmention it. He mentioned her speeder bike
yet just get it's cool. Itsounds dope too. It sounds like a
speeder bike in Star Wars and notwhatever they wanted to do. That's gonna
be fun. I mean this,I mean hopefully this game is longer than
like I want to say, thirtyhours. I want us to be kind
of like twenty hour game I couldsee. Yeah, I know I wanted

(56:20):
to be I want to be longer. I want like I wanted to be
a chunky God of War length game. Well, I'm just grinding. I'm
just grinding. I'm just grinding.Baby, It's gonna be a good time.
But yeah, that game comes out, I believe, let's see August
thirtieth. I mean, if youpre order it, obviously get to play
a little bit earlier and all thatgood stuff. But I think Gameless Summer

(56:43):
that might be what you want toplay Slash save up for because it looks
worth it at least what they showednow. Once you play the actual game
could be a whole thing versus whatthey presented. E three and Summer Game
Fest have done in the past butlooked good so far. But hoping Marvel
Nights what is a game called MarvelShoot actually a car game, and like

(57:04):
Marvel mid Night Suns which is freeon the EMPIC Game Store by the way,
if you want to play that rightnow, Reasons is Reason's free.
It's a good game, but justno one played it, so nobody played
it. Nobody played it, unfortunately. But Kevin, let's get to your
big dog. You're always a suckerfor a good Assassin's Creed game. What
do you think about Assassin Creed shadowsStabby Staddy Baby, this is Stabby Stabby

(57:28):
Bludgeon. Bludgeon looks really really cool. They showed a really cool gameplay of
you as yaske kind of like goingthrough the motions of being a samurai and
the killd sick. Oh yeah,it literally goes like black and white like
all samurai movie and then decapitation slipped, like, oh my god, that's

(57:52):
now shows her. I'm sorry themdoing a mission with what's her name?
I go, I can't pronounce hername. Nao, Yeah, I'll look
it up, but you keep goingyes, and it kind of shows you
there the kind of their relationship.It kind of feels very very big brother
Little hisstory. So I'm looking sidekind of seen more the more the relationship

(58:15):
between them two. So again alittle nervous about this one because it's best
something. I'm like, hmm,interesting, Oh, Now, who do
you think you're gonna Maine as.I think the cool thing with this.
I know Syndicate kind of did thistoo, whereas you can play us whoever
you want in free roam and switchbetween freely. But then when you get
to the big you know, takedown this level, this level's main boss

(58:39):
or whatever. You have to choosebetween the two of them. Now you
go trying to go sneaky, You'retrying to go all forest blooding me.
I'm actually I'll probably be playing moreas Nao just because I mean, she's
just Ninja cool and she's assassin.She's more like normal assassins. Don't get

(58:59):
me wrong, I'm very happy I'mnot one of these I'm crying fan people
about a black Samurai and whatever.I'm playing them as well. It's gonna
be very fun. But come on, come on, you can't go Yeah,
I think probably mean the same thing, because I think I get overwhelmed
a lot when you on assassins.Creed games are like, all right,
I'm going on all out, andyou're like, oh crap, there's like

(59:20):
one hundred enemies right here versus thetwo I had to take out if I
went selfily exactly. And I meanI mean, it'll be fun to walk
into a palace. If you ask, he's a bludge and stick it is
like, ah, smash, I'mat all, but it would be really
cool to to, like, youknow, just do a flip. Now,
do you have a feeling that atsome point they're gonna have a crossroads

(59:43):
you have to pick one and thenyou have to battle the other one,
because usually that's what happens when youget to these characters switching games. I
think they're going to be that ordefinitely one of these. One of them
is dying. I think you choosewho sacrifices themselves, then you play as
the other one for the rest ofthe game and can't go back. And
what do you do now with thesegames? That was like, once you
beat the last mission, the gamereverts right before the last mission, so

(01:00:06):
you can play as both characters.Yeah, yeah, something like that.
But this looks really good. Imean, we haven't had Assassins Creed game,
and well we had the one lastyear. I wasn't really a full
game miarrage, which no one gavethe time of day. Let's I've spent
ten hours and I still haven't goneback to it. Well that's apparently all
you needed to beat a Kevin.So what happened there? I had a

(01:00:28):
kid? Okay, well, likeI want to hold you, and no
it's not working because I'm want tosqueeze you because I'll get nervous. So
I was gonna put a controller nowplay exactly, so the light they took
the time with this game. Also, it looks like they want to be
a lengthy game because seasons are changing. Yeah, so whether that is Assassin's
Creed is known though to do timejumps, that's you going back into the

(01:00:52):
real world out of the animus andyou pop back in and things have changed
slightly. I think that's probably howthey're going to navigate seasons, but who
knows. That's the other thing too. We're only seeing this part, but
we don't know anything about what's actuallyhappening in the now times, times about
which no one really wants to knowabout. Let's I'm really the only person
that cares about Desmond's dead. Desmond'sdead. Layla's dead now too, because

(01:01:19):
she died at the end of Lokisomething. Now, I don't know,
let me just be, let mejust be the ninja and then you know,
like come on, so I wantto who's in the chair now.
I'm generally curious who's in who's inthe little Animius table, you know,
but just me cares about that.It's like no other fans like shut up,
like no, that's kind of cool. I like that. Yeah,

(01:01:40):
But I think overall a pretty goodshowing, uh, for what we thought,
me and Jimmy Perry Perry a prettygood showing for what we thought was
going to be a light year forvideo games, and it kind of has
been. I think we can allagree that hasn't been like the past couple
of years were like last year whenit was Breath of while then all right,

(01:02:00):
sorry, Tears of the Kingdom.Then Jedi Survivor came out before that,
and there was like I think ResidentEvil four came out before that two
weeks. Yeah. Uh, thishas definitely been a little bit more of
the slow burn of like you haveone game a quarter to play, but
you know, with Ubusoft, wealready know our Summer game, we know
our Fall game, and then everythingelse kind of falls in between there too,

(01:02:21):
fall twice once. Well I try, I try, you know,
uh, but let us know whatyou thought overall about Summer game fast I
know it will be a couple morestreams here and there telling you about more
details of the games and all thatgood stuff. We'll catch you up on
that probably on Thursday's episode. Uh, but let us know what you think
at infant Underscore pods on the Instagramor the x gome give it to you.

(01:02:43):
We're going to see all the cooltrailers things he missed, hot Oney
nine to five dot Com slash Crisiscrew. But Kevin, what's your final
takeaway before we bounce on out ofhere? Banger after the banger, after
the banger. But as always,my name is Hoodie and I'm Kevin,
