Speaker 1 (00:36):
Uh, we got a jam back show for you today
because there is no real big news stories we're talking about.
So we're doing a topic we've had percolating, Cynthia Revo,
that's a whole TikTok thing in our minds for a
couple of weeks. We're doing the ten Games that define
us today. We're getting deep, we're getting methyl logical in

(00:58):
this podcast as well.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, the biggest news today right now is that Wicked
one hundred million this weekend, and that's pretty much the conversation.
We can be one hundred million this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
So I don't know what else.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
You say about that, but pro tip, if you watch
Wicked this weekend, make sure you listen to our Wicked
review which was on Thursday. It's the episode below or
above this, I don't know, depending on what you're watching
or viewing or listening to. But the wives or made
their appearance and they did pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, I we'll say it makes that's our review. It's
really just hooding my wife and more and me kind
of just chiming in randomly because I didn't see it.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
That's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
One day, Kevin will see it as soon as it
comes to streaming and having non stop.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
I would have went if putting out a year and
a half year old in a screening was was okay,
But I'm pretty sure that wasn't the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, probably not the move. Not the move.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
But you can see everything we're gonna talk about today

we read it too.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
And also while you're there, you can use Amazon prophoscution
to throw your boys at three. So thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Let's face it.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
For the holidays, whether you need to get those last
minute Thanksgiving needs or you're probably buying all your gifts
for your family this year, you're probably using Amazon and
you got Amazon Prime, Twitch Primes completely for free. So
if you know, maybe you your family or whoever's you're using, hey,
just connect it to us, hang out with us, and
then for a second and help us help you make
this podcast even better.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
You know funny, this year will be the first year,
hopefully that I actually get my kids gifts on time.
Always don't calculate my page right. I always get paid
the week after Christmas, and it always happens. And this
year I was prepared for it. So I'm ready, It's Friday,
get stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
More And I decided this is not It's partially what
you're doing. But we decided yesterday like let's just bank
out alas damn, Like all right, we've plotted it out.
Everyone's got our list, we got everyone's list. We practically
bought everyone's gifts yesterday.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
So at least she's been buying gifts since July maybe June.
She she's very like I'm doing his way in and dance.
I'm like, oh what, okay, well, how does it?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
How does it work for you guys with the kids,
like because there is no Toys r US catalog anymore,
Like are they just screenshoting something on Amazon or what
are they doing nowadays in twenty twenty five?

Speaker 3 (03:41):
So leat once. Whatever she sees on TikTok okay, she's
just saw on TikTok it was it was focused towards her,
so she wanted she saw it. But before that, she
usually it was mostly commercials she will see when she's
watching on we had cable, on cable, or even the
ads that she makes you watching YouTube video because because

(04:01):
again when they're watching those, you know, kids videos, they
get little toy in the middle of those. So it's
mostly that. And then usually when we go to target
where we see her eye kind of like, okay, make
a note of that.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
She like that, like, are you guys buying stuff from
TikTok shop this year or is it?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't know, We're gonna find it somewhere else.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
I may attempt to because they have a kitchen on
their a tle kitchen for fifteen dollars. I'm like, it's
worth the risk. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
What you wanted.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
I Leah hasn't really express much of interest on anything
this year besides, like she wants a laptop, she wants
a ring light. She's entering that that age of tech gifts,
you know what I mean. So she's pretty easy kiaras.
This will be a last year, easy for her because's
last year we'll have her. But she can't really speak.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
You get what you get exactly like my wife.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Usually when it comes to her, she gets stuffed more
from learning stores. Like there's a teacher store called I
can't remember what it's called, but it's something Bottomed County,
but just where you go buy things like for like
your pre K classics. So all our guests are like
from there because it's like counting and colors and all
that kind of stuff. Then I'm gonna get her kitchen
because she's a baby, and baby's neat kitchen. This is
what it is.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Me sure, Okay, So anyway we start right there, but
then also friendly manner before we get into the actual
brick and role of the podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
We will This will be our last episode four this week.
We're taking a Thanksgiving break, so we will be back
next Monday talking about.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Stranger things most likely. So we're gonna give you some
time to watch that.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Enjoy that with your family, or hide from your family
and watch it in a corner, maybe in your bedroom,
your childhood bedroom.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Now, we will be back next Monday talking about that.
So there will be no podcast later this week, but
don't worry.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
We have tons of content. So you've seen Wicked maybe
this week with the fam.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Because you don't want to see Zutopia, check out the
review of that.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
We got you cover there as well.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
I used to love because when I was a little
Flanks Giving was at my house, so I usually love
that part of like the giving dinner. Everybody's here, Okay,
I'm going to take away to my room and play
video games because you guys are way too loud. And
now we're here, the Kevin, where are you the goddamn da?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, Kevin, let's get on into it.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
We always studied the podcast properly, something we like to
call what You're doing? Where you talking about the shows
and movies We've been watching, the games, we've been playing, the.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Lives we've been living. Cause is Monday's episode, Kevin, you
get to go first? The first question, what are your
Thanksgiving planning? So far? This year?

Speaker 3 (06:29):
I gotta work on Thursday. We are broadcasting the Navy
football game and then the Ravens game, so we have
to do some shenanigans with what station gets which game,
so I'll be there for that and also a show
that will be airing from ten to two before that,
so yeall be at work till four o'clock, so that's fun,
and then after that that's fun. But actually it's funny.

(06:52):
I think I've worked either Black Friday or Thanksgiving every
year except for the last year. It's my current station
because at this point I'd just rather have Christmas off
than Thanksgiving in my life, and usually do the morning shows.
I'm off by twelve anyway, but this year I'm not
doing a morning show like Shoot, thanks love to get
leave me, it's pretty cool. And then after that, after
I get off work on Thursday, I'll be driving to

(07:13):
Frederick to my niece's Thanksgiving. This is her first Thanksgiving
dinner cause she's been her house for about two years now,
so she's really want to have thanks for dinner. So
we're gonna go out there and raid her fridge and
all her foods.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
There you go, good time, that's how you do it.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
But the first what I've been doing this weekend, Man,
I had to go paint yesterday. And I'm not a
big painter. I don't like to paint too much.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Now we're talking houses. Are we talking Picasso pieces? Uh?

Speaker 3 (07:39):
We're painting a room in a house.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Okay, okay, okay, some little both little both.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Little both. And it's funny. We actually have to We're
using white paint to go over like this dark green paint.
So it's just like it would not just like take
one coat. I think I put two or three coats
of paint on his wall and it's still kind of
showing through. I got do another coat. It sucks. So
I had to paint yesterday. And I hate painting because
not just painting.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
You got a tape off the corners and the.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Corners you go around the whole room. You gotta take
off the electrical outlets, like painting is. Painting is a scam,
Like that's what I think.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Really, you should buy with the color one.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Give me an o lad wall where I could change
the color anytime I want. Thank you, digital future, come on,
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
And then when it comes to that, I had to
go up up and down on the ladders like I
can paint like the meaning of the ceiling and the wall,
up and down, up and down, up and down, up
and down all and you know, my my hamstrings are
on fire right now.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Baby, I am.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
I'm too old for this. I gotta start paying people
to do this stuff for that. I'm not. I'm getting
too old for this ground.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
That's okay, that's okay.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
So after that, the family want to go see the
Christmas Village and opened this week in Baltimore. Dont for
Baltimore at the Harbor Coman Christmas Village went down there
last night. It took us about probably twenty five minutes
of fine parking. That was. That's always fun when you
go into a city. It's just like, man, we have
parking Lissons in the county. Man, please please bea like
morn like suburbs. I hate it so much. But if

(09:08):
I found parking, wasn't too too far away, thankfully. But
it was a nice little Christmas village. Got some bacon,
got some some donuts and fresh doughnuts and they're making
down there. Got some what else do we get a
hot fudge? Hot coco? I mean, so the fun thing

(09:31):
was Kira. There's like a little stage inside like the
beer garden they have in there, and nobody was performing
because at the end of the night, Kia got up hearingly,
got on the stage, started dancing to every song that
came on, and people were like watching them, pluding. It
was like, you guys are hams man the Lord. I'm
ready to go. You guys are out here dancing. And
then of course I'm the bad guy. Was okay, it's

(09:51):
nine thirty this time, it's time to go, but we
want to stay longer. I'm like, we gotta go to
church in the morning. What do you want for me?
Like what, I'm always a bad guy? And then what
else did we do yesterday? I think that was about it.
Got home and and played a little bit of PlayStation.
So one haven't been a dispatched yet. It's just been

(10:11):
kind of hard to do it, lady, because it's time
for Christmas. Yeah, like I got over a priority over
dispatch repreplays. But and then that's about all the bit
up to become. What about you, buddy?

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, So for me Thanksgiving plans we uh More and
I are are staying on my grandparents because my grandpa's
got the hospital.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
So it's all good. He's doing good. We're there just
to help him out do anything. Pretty much. I have
to set up another Christmas and the decorations at their house.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
So their tree is a lot larger than it's like
twenty feet, so that's gonna be interesting.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Uh is a it's a fake tree, but it's got
tree come come down from the attic and he boasted up.
So we'll see what happens, but that'd be fun. More
and I were doing a bunch of the sides. Uh
So we're doing like teenie mac and cheese again. We're
doing sweet potatoes, were doing like this corn cast or
all thing that actually sounds pretty good.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I bought a pie, which was really hard to get
because it was like buying a damn Pokemon card pack
of trying to get there before anyone else got it.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
But yesterday we did go grocery shopping for the ingredients.
I will say Saturday grocery shopping is so much better
than Sunday grocery shopping because we had the store pretty
much to ourselves compared to any other time where it's
neck and necking an oldie.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Tip trust Saturday night.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh my gosh, day night, Saturday night grocery shopping.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
But so we got everything.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
I know a lot of people once again teenies, mac
and cheese, Kavatappy Pasta's running out everywhere, so just hey,
go to multiple stores in case you need to.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
By the time of that.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Besides that, I'm excited we're gonna go Black Friday shopping,
not really to buy really anything specific, but just to
hang out. It's kind of the thing to do on
Black Friday. This UpCoin Friday. Besides that, though, main thing
this weekend I did. I come completed all of the
Indiana Jones DLC within one day.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, it wasn't good.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
It was so Indiana Jones. The The DLC was called
Order of the Giants.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's the game.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
It came out earlier this year. I did draft it
for our Fantasy game draft. It only got me like
two points, and it shows because it definitely felt more
like here's just a longer side quest than like, there's
this doc adding to the full story of the game,
because I couldn't tell you what the damn happened in
the damn dec because a lot was like, huh.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
We're adding to our story. You want to see this, It's.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Like yeah, it really it did feel like more like
he went back to Italy, which was.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
One of the one of the.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Shorter areas in the game, and it felt like this
was content they locked away to make that, like level
illequal with everything else because the later was like, oh,
here's a zip line that came out of.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Nowhere, and now you can go to that other area
all of a sudden. But it was cool.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
I think Troy Baker still kills it as Indiana Jones,
which is why he's not made for you know, Voice
Actor of the Year at the Game Awards this year.
But it was funny because this quest or whatever DLC
really focused on you having a boat to get through
the canals of Rome, left the boat behind, couldn't get
the boat back to me, anytime soon in the game,

(13:19):
so I'm swimming everywhere. So this DLC probably could have
finished faster, in like two hours instead of being like,
why what's taking so long?

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I can't find the boat. The boat won't summon to me.
I don't know what's happening.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
I don't I ask them if any other story kind
of like points you forward to any of the movies
anything like that.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
No, No, not really at all. It uh And the
DLC kind of just ends.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
And it is funny because how it ends is they
do normally in Indiana Jones they do like, oh, if
he's traveling, he's doing the little red map, the little
red marker on the map or whatever.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
This was.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Hey, you're in the coliseum, but you're not allowed back
in this area outside of the DLC, so we got
to get you back to the Vatican City they have
any of the Jones go on a bike and you're
following him on the red map on a bike, and
he ends up back where you were at the beginning
of this level. You're like, all right, well that was
that DLC, never to be thought of ever again, all right,
So it.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Was one of those DLCs. I was like, thanks, but
I could have just been okay with gaming game.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yeah, I mean, hey, it was a good five hours.
I think I spent on it total, maybe six. But
now that's wrapped up, we can finally delete that out
of the PlayStation and prepare for any other guests we're
about to get in Ghosts. You're next, You're about to
get tackled on right now.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, because I did the same thing with Uh, I
just deleted Horizon. I'm like, I don't I think I'm
done with Horizon. I keep see corruscals for him, like
I should we playing Horizon?

Speaker 1 (14:41):
I don't know, And that's a pro tab. What I've
learned is if you're asking for games for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
You gotta clear that back You got clear a little
bit of that backlog, baby, if you want to ask
for new games for Christmas and a holladays exactly.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
I actually I need actually a little really, I need
to really invest in more and more memory, basically, I need.
That's what I think. It's the next thing I need
to do because my man, I am scratching place for
space right now my PS five hard drive. But it's
like one of those things that over top of mind.
I'm in the store but I need I need a
hard drive. I'm like, oh yeah, I like shoot hard
drive one of these days, one of these days.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
But that's what I've been doing.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Also, let us know what you've been doing at Infinite
Underscore Pods. But Kevin, let's get on into it, because
it's technically time for the news.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
It's times and first things.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
For we are gonna break down some lists we have.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Let's that one works the other two okay, because we're
doing a special topic because we don't really have a
lot of news story.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Like we said, Wicked was pretty much to talk of
the town this weekend. Everything else is kind of in
Thanksgiving holiday break mode. So we're doing one of our
goodie topics. We have a list of of just hey,
we should do these one day whenever there's no news,
and that's one of these days. Today we are doing
the ten games that define us.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Technically it's me but us. This is a.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
TikTok trend earlier this month, at the end of October,
we're a lot of your favorite gaming streamers that weren't us.
We're saying, these are the games that helped mold me,
help define me, help made me who my who we
are so that's what we're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Uh, we'll each do our ten. I think part of
the easiest things that are going back and forth and
then being confused. I want number one numbers. We're on
all that good stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Just ten video games throughout our entire lifetime. So it
could be old ass games, could be childhood games, could
be games we just finished. Indiana Jones, could be you
it's not right now, it's not Indiana great games, and
then just explain why we have them and why we
think you know these. If you were to look at
a hall of video game history for Hoodie or Kevin,

(16:43):
they'd be there right there.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
I think my tim are definitely there for a lot
of reasons. And uh yeah, I like to top it a lot.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
It's fun.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
It makes you think about why I'm playing games.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
And let us explain things.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Explains who we are and all's to get to know
us podcast more than than anything.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
So we're gonna go.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
If you have any games that could be five and
that'd be ten, list them in the DMS if you're
if you are, whether you're watching us live a Twitch
dot tv or YouTube dot com, uh slash infinnel score pods,
or just at Infineus score pods. We'd love to share
what your ten games are two, whether it's now or
later on, and see you know these the game you know,
if you want to know somebody, you play them.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
I want one hundred games from you listener.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
At one point, At one point I was like, I
couldn't say twenty, but I was.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Like that, I don't know, maybe that's not in the
top ten.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
I could do twenty, thirty or forty.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Maybe that's a little too hard.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
So, Kevin, yours are in no particular order, right you
just had you just listed ten?

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Right? Yes, all right? Would you like to go first?
Would you like me to go first?

Speaker 3 (17:47):
You go first? Make sure make sure that here we go.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
So these are no particular order, even though probably the
top three or the first ones that came to mind
on top of my heads. That says it's probably the
same thing for you, like, well, those are the top
ones you immediately thought of. So my number one actually
know what Kevin will play a guessing game? Can you
guess any of the games that are on my ten
games that define me?

Speaker 3 (18:09):
List?

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Pokemon Ruby incorrect? But you're close, You're closest to Pokemon game,
so you get a half point for that.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Okay, I camember what came up with that?

Speaker 2 (18:22):
It was ruby and gold, right, that's ruby and sapphire, sir, Emeralds.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
I got Pokemon, so I know that I don't go
with that.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
That that's all you want to guess. That's all you
want to guess.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
I don't want to say Soul Silver. I'm not sure
if you were a Soul Silver.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
It's not all Pokemon, Kevin, Okay, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
I don't think of another one. Super Mario Brothers. Was it?
Was it two on on the week?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
No, not on the list, not on the list.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
List That now was interesting to see how wrong I was.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
All right, that's okay.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
My first game Tail Tales the Walking Dead season on
mm hmm, you know what.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
I can see why though. I remember that game came out.
People minds were blown my house. A story drip, just
a story that much gameplay. It was like you. It
wasn't like it was was the other game. It came
out of participlation, Fast of Us, not Last of Us,
only the Actually it was actual zombies. I got a motorcycle.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Oh, Dead Rising.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
It wasn't like Rising when yeah, no, that Dead Rising
did something, did something.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Way.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, it wasn't like when you're you're fighting in zombies.
It was really just like, no, you're playing, you're playing
the show, not just killing zones.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
He's gone. That's what it was. What it was.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
But yeah, that doesn't actually even be a on your list.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
So for me, obviously that makes sense a lot of
these games that we're gonna have explainers on why we
had them. To a degree. I remember buying that game
and being like, wow, this is a story, my god,
and like it would be like twenty thirteen, so I think, yeah,
something like that, Like I waited and until the season
was out, then bought the game. And this is we'ren't

(20:04):
a time now where a lot of games will just
be digital and cannot find a physical addition of the
game anywhere. This is like the first for Warner of
that the you know of like the harbinger of this
is what will happen in ten years, Clementine, you got
lee great story. At the end of it, you're like,
oh my god. And obviously there's like three more seasons.
Not as good as the first season, I think, but man,

(20:26):
that was like, hey, you think Walking Dad's cool, it's
even cooler in the video game for him over here.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Tell Tale nailed it with that game, Like they really
really nailed.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
It with that game. My second one Batman Arkham Asylum.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Oh okay, okay, that that almost made the list, but
it did not.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Ooh interesting interesting for me that this is also I
don't know if it's the same timeframe, but I remember
I think I was just doing errands with my mom randomly,
like as a teenager, and we went into best Buy.
I think she had to get something looked at on
her phone or something, and then of course like I'm
gonna go with video game section, you come find me,
and I saw Batman Arkham Asylum. It was like the

(21:09):
three D edition, and I was like, this looks cool
and I was like, Mom, can I get this? I
think it was on sale for like twenty bucks at
the time for something. She said, yes, plugged in.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
I'm like, my god, this game is so good.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Obviously Batman the animated series and Mark Hamill Kevin Conray
killing It.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
I was the Arkham City and Night Exists.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
I do like those, but I think Asylum for me
is my favorite, just because it is very self contained
and yeah, and we are very in the world of
every game has to be an open world game. This
was all it's all on one island. Sure that island
has a lot of levels to it, but that was
a metroidvania in a time where you're like, oh, what's
a metroidvania? To a degree still even in like twenty ten,

(21:50):
whenever it came out.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
I remember because I was actually one of the one
of the first layman people to play that game. Because
that was at a time where I worked at Best Buy.
My job literally was to update the end camps of
all the system So the end camp of one end
camp is basically when you when you see like.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
The end of the action switch.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
That's what we did. So I had to update the
Xbox One, the Sony One, and Nintendo One, and that
the day I had to update that one with Batman. Batman,
how come aside don't heard about this, putting them like, oh,
this is gonna.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Be a hit, this is great, uh, and then obviously
all the other Batman games. But I think that really
is like, hey, licensed games could be something like even
getting some great games that may or may not be
on my list further, but it's like I'm like, damn,
this is good. I think that and Walking Dead were
the one two punch of like me into modern video games,

(22:37):
you know, like you know, it wasn't just Pokemon or
whatever was coming out in Nintendo's like or Madden or
anything like that. I was like, my god, like games
can be really good and like ettention.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Have a game when that one was like that, like
that too, I can get to it.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Their third one Pokemon Yellow. Oh you were close, yo,
So you would think obviously, uh see two brother household.
I get one version, John gets the other one. Uh
you would think red and blue. No, we both started
with splitting Pokemon Red and and before getting Pokemon Blue,
my grandma.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Said, I don't get you Pokemon Yellow. When it's one
of those grandma trips.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
We're hanging out with the grandparents on the weekends or
for the week so your parents can get a break.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
From you, essentially during summer vacation.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
And I remember to sincly us going to Toys r
Us to the game zone or whatever it was, the
video game section of Toys r US and I mean,
as that's a child of the nineties, the the Pokemon
box displays there. My god, I had the manual for
the longest time. Obviously it broke. I bought another one
just because I was like, it's nostalgia and looks great.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
But and then Pokemon Yellow is I think the oldest
video game I own so much that battery is dead
and can't like ever corrupt it, so I just have
the games still. I bought it again just so like
I can play it. But this is my one somewhere
at work that I'm like, that's the one that carried
me through.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
You should frame it. I put it in your off
put it like put it a little frame where you
said the podcast interesting.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
But yeah, that carried me for a while in the
nine video.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Game wise, with the game Boy, game Boy, Gameboy Color
Light and all that stuff. My fourth game, Guitar Hero
three Legends of Rock technically is the subtitle for that
game with very familiar because that had a chokehold on
my brother and I when one of us or he
got it for Christmas slash his birthday, and we played
that game non stop. You think, d d are you

(24:30):
think SingStar No Guitar Hero three, where I think you
were able to like pick different characters. I think that's
where the enter the Dragon Song or Dragon Force song
was at at the time, and I remember the game
came with one guitar, but my family bought the other guitar,
so it was like John opened the one with the
guitar and I opened the guitar, so that were like, ah.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
We could both play. This is great.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
And the funniest thing is I remember playing that in
my grandparents house and they on their tiny ass TV
of like that put vh VHS players.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
In it and that was it.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
But it was like maybe the size of this monitor,
but it was like in the corner in the room
and that was the TV you were looking at.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Ye again, this is another game, the Best Buy. If
you went into a Best Buy between two thousand, i'll
say seven and twenty ten and played Guitar Hero three,
that is the rock. You're welcome because we built those.
We actually built those. It was called social gaming. And

(25:33):
part of part of this is part of my job.
For like five years I had to go to stores
and play go Guitar Hero three.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Kevin, I think you should go and get that job again.
You should like, Hey, can I have I have this
job again?

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Two stores a day? Man, Well war pigs again, here
we go.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
They see me coming they watch out on the score
every day.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Those were the days Manitarrees or Will mentioned because there
was a time when music gaming we took over the
whole gaming industry. It was bad. It was rock band.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
It was the like more Beatles rock our Beatles rock band,
the Beatles guitar here.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yeah, and then there was that more realistic one that
came out, like the actual guitar that was actually like
a little little guitar. But nobody liked it because it
was too real.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, I'm good, I want uh want a strong Yeah,
my fifth game. This all these games pretty much had
a toll hold on me boy pretty much. W W
SmackDown Versus Raw two thousand and seven, Kevin.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Two thousand and seven, was that Ready Order, that's the
triple H one going. Most importantly infamously, Money in the
Bank is the theme is one of.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
The songs in that game.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
And I remember my dad sain't please turn that song off?

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
The smack versus Raw games that was talking about like
the era of how Telltale and Batman were like, this
is what gaming is. This was I play sports games
I get for Christmas or in my birthday. In this
in the w W games, I remember distinctly this and
a couple of other SmackDown in the w W games.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
I pre order the game and the guide. The guy
didn't need at all. I just want the guide.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
And then I'd make my dad go after work, Hey,
we gotta go to game stop before we eat, and
then just hold the game. We'd eat, and I'd just
stare at the game box the entire time.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
I just I just remember this, not era, but after
smack numbers is SmackDown two. Here know your role, the
SmackDown three. Here comes the pain. And it was like,
what are you gonna do NEXTT versus wrong?

Speaker 1 (27:44):
We got you, I got you, we got your five
years that it's w W and now it's two games.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
It was awesome. This game was I think I played
every I might have played every wrestling game since SmackDown one.
So this is this is another great one, the other
great one that in the quiver of wrestling games.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
And then all right, so we got that one. We're
all right. So now number six Star Wars Battlefront two,
the modern one, not the old g one, not the
O g one, the modern one.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
One, the one from that we played at E three.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yes, correct, Star Wars battle Front two. I think that
for me.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Was the most I've been into a multiplurer game. I
think to a degree. I think, obviously I've bought in
the game.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Three times now, I think on different consoles at the disc.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
I bought it digitally on Xbox, I bought digitally on PlayStation.
I think that game just looks amazing still. Even though
that game, I think, stop.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Doing updates in twenty so five years later, that game
is still looking gorgeous. The peak of Star Wars looking things.
It's you know, Jedi Fall in order. All the games
now model it after that.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
For a degree, story was okay, but I think it
was just so cool to like, this is what star
Their base looked like. Like I'm in Camino, Like this
is my dreams right now. I can do first person
or third person. Best, probably the Star Wars game. I
think there were a lot of Star Wars games that
had potentially on here, but I was like, you know what,
that's the one I've probably played the most. If it

(29:13):
isn't the Chuck of Cheese one, that's been the Chuck
of Cheese, the pod or whatever it's called.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yeah, my favorite part about Battlefront two was just the
actual stages. I know when we're playing on what what's
the name of Amidalla's palant no boo right now the
boot it literally feels like, holy.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
This looks like the damn movie. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, it was so cool, z all man Man. Even
though I wasn't good at the game at all, I
love watching the scenery.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Hell yeah, it was a good time.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Speaking of multiplayer games, Halo four for me exactly like
Halo four, Halo Thor has a choke holde on me,
mostly because of college. Because my roommate for most of
the college like sweet main than roommate and whatever. Uh,
we both had xbo three sixties both bought Halo four

(30:02):
and every time we would play Halo four in between classes,
and sometimes most of the time we'd be late the
class or he would be like the claspt me really
because we were playing multiplayer in that game.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
So I'm trying to think of how it works in college.
I guess your your dorm rooms weren't too far away
from classes, because I feel like there's a lot of
back and forth doing trying to get into the game
of Halo before you got it.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Really depends more than anything.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
I think the map I distinctly remember I think I
got to google it because I could. I could remember
the names was called Exile. So there's this huge canyon
and it's kind of like blood Gold Twiss is like
classic Halo map where you both start each side, but
there's this huge like tunnel of a canyon in the middle, and.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Like it was legit. I was always driving the wart Hogs.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
And he would shoot and oh man, what a time,
and you could just drive in a little lap just
like all right, kill him guy, go around again, kill
him again, go lap again, kill him again.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
There's nothing like playing Halo multiplayer or co op and
heaving like you're saying you drive, I shoot and having
the handle thing Blair, But Bob, it really just skutched
you right in.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
I almost put Call of Duty war Zone on here
because same thing, just pandemic with air caning turned John.
But I think Halo four was the one that like
made me I'm the driver in an he's an area,
or I'm the pilot if it's a chopper or something
like that.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
That's making I'm bad at shooting sometimes.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Well you guys, do you guys have fun?

Speaker 1 (31:24):
My eighth game, Marvel's Spider Man twenty eighteen. You're like, huh,
that's really recent for Hoodie and it's on here because
it's the moment Hoodie finally switched to the blue side
of PlayStation. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the longest time, obviously
wanting to play it, then finally obviously getting the Spider
Man two theme PlayStation three years ago when that came

(31:47):
that game came out wild, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
I loved it.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
I just think it's a fun time just to swing around.
It just puts Spider Man games back on the map
since Spider Man two on like the game cube and
PS two.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
It's also one of the best Spider Man story has
ever told.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Yeah, okay, mister negative, we might get him and but yeah,
and I've said about that. I think we've talked about
that game a lot, then my last two.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
One I've talked about a lot, mostly for style spot style. Now, Kevin,
do you think what game it is?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Based on? The game?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I've said it's mostly the style I like of the
game and the architecture. Can't you remember it's a game
we've talked about on this podcast that I've played during what.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
You're doing hmmmm mmm, nothing, I don't know, all right,
Control is my ninth. Brutalism, Baby.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
I talked so much about brutalism and designed because of
that damn game in Severance. That's why I was like, oh, Severance,
I've definitely talked about Control a lot whenever Severence came out.
Control obviously uh, following the footsteps of Alan Wake and
obviously got Alan Wink two.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
After that. I thought was awesome going in and You're like,
I'm just playing this game because people thought was good.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
We're like, oh, man, like this is the story was good,
that the game design was great, the actually like visual
design of the game was great as well, so much
that I played Out and Wake the first one.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
After that, I was like, oh, I like these games.
These are good.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
I remember Control with released. I almost bought it. I
went and buy it and buy it. But I remember
when I heard you talk about like I was right
about the one about that game because it was a
really cool game.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
And then my last game not a modern game at all,
even though I kind of went in a little bit
of a modernism way sort of. Uh, the tenth game,
Choke Hold on my brother and I's life, splitting an
Xbox three sixty Okay, all right, frames. It's an Xbox
three sixty. Sorry, hold on, how to breathe there for
a second. You wouldn't think this Your boy is low key.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
I've mentioned this time Obsessed with the Need for Speed franchise.
Oh yes, so Need for Speed Most Wanted is my
tenth game on the ten Games that defined Me, because
that game, man talk about, came out at the right time.
The peak of Fast and Furious pet Fast very still
peak whatever, but like Racing for Pink Slips, you had

(34:09):
to go through like the top five or eight drivers
get through them to get your car back. Obviously, Need
for Speed Carbon happened to The live action filming was
a whole thing that was like, oh, it's really graphicky
the cars. The music in that game was great too.
You could go to a chop shop and customize your car.
Oh man, what a time.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
I'll never forget because that around that time I actually
bought my first car. I'll never forget that I was
able actually to make my car one peak. This this
is this is this is peak nerd. This is peak
peak Nerd. I'm so happy with this.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
But that those are my ten games that defined me.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
I think overall those I can talk about any memory
playing those games, and especially if most wanted being John
and I having a fight over.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
No, it's my turd to play. No, it's my try
to play. We're doing the same thing.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
I don't want to drive on the golf course, all right,
cool get I gotta win the cops, all right, Kevin.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Those are been my ten games that defining before we
get to yours. That's would be like an break what happened?

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Shout out Andy Drogan or her seven games she included
in the chat twitch dot tv slash Infandum Score Pods,
Dance Dance Revolution, High School Musical three.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
I think that's what that was, right, dr wow, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Maybe maybe that's what it is. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Maybe spell it out any drug If I didn't real
the right played that game pretty much, pretty sure. She
unlocked all the skins in that. She put Alice. I
knew Alice madness returns. I remember those Alice in Wonderland games.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
They were very creepy. I remember the ads for that.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yeah, yeah, they were. Uh.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
She put Batman tell tay Tailtale very good. That's when
tail Tale was coming back again. Was they got the
Batman franchise and was cool.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Uh, she put Spider Man.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
I'm assuming it's probably the twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen one
Gotham Knights.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
That's okay, I'm all right interesting, that's good, that's all right.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Valid out She put Dragon Age, and then she put
the first lego Batman.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Yep, all good picks, all good picks.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Dragon Age is a really good game, and nobody talks
about it.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
All right, Kevin, you are up? What are your ten
games that define you?

Speaker 3 (36:22):
I want to try to go in order of console
generation here, but I'm probably gonna fail, So what I'm
gonna try to do it anyway. My first game actually
is going to be Donkey Kong Country from the Super Nintendo.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
The reason why that's my first one of this because
not only is it a great game to play, kind
of revolutionized three D gaming on Super Nintendo. That was
the first game that I followed from conception to background,
design to release to review. So it kind of led
me of me being here with you right now because
I remember when that came out, I was described to

(36:57):
Nintendo Power through. My mom likes a lot. Mommy for
paying for that. We didn't have a lot of money,
but she found money from Power for me. I don't
know she did it. But in tenal Power you can
send away for a background video of them, of the
making of the game, and I sent it a way
for it and I got it. And I probably watched
that video every day for like three months before that
game came out. So I was so hyped when it

(37:17):
came out and when I got it. I mean this
Donkey Kong country. We've all played it, the music, Diddy Kong,
Donkey Kong, Cranky Kong, Funky Kong, the crocodile iremlins essentially
the whole time, the barrel roads, throwing barrels at people
like like some kind of Miscricket is a great game.
And I loved every minute. I never beat it, actually,
but I loved every every year minute. I do that.

(37:41):
I have it. I have it in my closet upstairs.
I don't have a superintannel any now, which I can't
play it, but I do own it. I do own it. No, uh,
my second game again, I'm trying to go in order
of const generation here.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
The Sims mhm, which one and I'm talking any of
the or is just the Sims the first one?

Speaker 3 (38:04):
The Sims too mostly the SIMS was great. The Sims too.
The SIMS too cost me a lot of my Saturdays back,
Like I'll never forget there was some Saturday I will
get up and this is when I was like, you know,
you know, a teenager, nothing to do, wake up around
ten o'clock. Whatever, come down, make me some cereal, Turn
TV on, hop on the SIMS. Around ten to thirty.

(38:24):
I look up, it's six fifty five. The sun is down.
I'm still playing the SIMS.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Now for the Sims, were you making your family? Were
you doing something rand of what were you doing?

Speaker 3 (38:34):
I was, I like to make neighborhoods. So I would
love to actually build houses all on the same.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
My neighborhood flourish in front of me, and then.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Put family randomly, generate families in each house and kind
of just so chaos. Basically, it was my favorite thing
to do. I always love when they when they for
some reason they burned the house down. They didn't know
how to cook. It didn't give me a cooking skill.
It was one of my favorite things to do. But
I lost a lot of a lot of time on
the SIMS, especially with I. Also, I love building houses.

(39:05):
That's one of my favorite thing to do. For the
first time, I put in the Cold Rose. But with
with with we had he had to put a comment
between each excimation point to get a thousand dollars, so
each make Moore one thousand dollars. But that is basically
get all the money and make all the houses you want.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Kevin, did you play the Herbs? Did you ever play
the which was like the like, hey, we're gonna be
modern Sims now. That was like I played that on
the T Yes, I think, and I was like, oh,
this is kind of cool. And I never played the
actual SIMS though, just the Herbs.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
I played the Herbs, I played the one when we
got pets, I played the College edition. I played all
of them like I was a big And we're still
in SIMS four.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Baby, we will get the SIMS five one day.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
I may have created a monster because you know who
loves the Sims now, Leah, she's been playing it all week.
I've made created a monster my third game here, and
that I say. Now we'll be in the PS two era.
First game I'll say is I got three games in
PS two. Teching three. Teching three was a big game
for me because as a kid, I remember when tech

(40:02):
and two came out on a PS one, I would
always try to play my older cousins and I was
get I would get destroyed all the time and beat
me and it wasn't even like close. Then a few
years later, I Teking three came out and I was
more seasoned gamer. Everybody else, everybody else would come play
Teching three. It was my turn. I went on them
on everybody like older, younger, I had no I had
no qualms about taking out.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
My characters were hawairing and she admits you to get
out of the sword. And usually way we used to
do it at holidays like coming on Thanksgiving seven eight nine,
ten of us will go into the room place with
I'm teching and when you lose the pass controller back.
Sometimes I went run on the circle two times because
I was like, no, this is it my hous my house,

(40:44):
this is a side tangent.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
I've told you about my Royal Rumble themed birthday party, right,
yeah she did tell me that, yeah, yeah, okay, where
I essentially I took all the mattresses from my parents'
house and put them in one room kind of like
like someone yeah uh.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
And it was like all right, we're all going to
if you get out for you.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
That's awesome. Though. My fourth game is Grand Torismo two
and why Grand Trismal too. It is I won't say
just racing game. This is little moree and a just
raising game. Grand Trispo two had so much customization in
it where you can actually go in and tweak to
where your car drives, to wear your cant Yeah. It

(41:26):
was one of the first games on console to do
that at the time, and it was a very also
very very very expansive game, like a A bunch of
real tracks that were actually in the world were actually
on this game as well. And one of the best
things about Grandswis two was when I was a kid,
my uncle left cors Street from me, so all the
time after he would get home from work, he would

(41:48):
call me, Hey, I'm grilling, come over. We're playing Grand Chrismo.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
Cool.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
It was to be me and him in the basement
playing Grand Trismo for hours, and it wasn't even like
we were racing each other. It was basically I would
set up his car, then he would drive, and then
he didn't like it. I said some moughful in school
and we would go back and forth, just just just
trying to get get all the races done. It was
a big hard nerd, so shout out Uncle Jay. It
was an awesome time. I always be playing Grandmars with you,

(42:13):
and that to continue with Greis three came out. He
got a PlayStation two, so we can keep saying grants
rest for three, so kept tradition going. It was just
an awesome time the video game with old generation. You
know what I mean, it was really cool. My fifth
game is Grand Theft Autough wait for it. What's it
going to be? Good job? You know me?

Speaker 2 (42:33):
You know that about.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Granded Fellow Santa Dres is my my fifth game. One
of the reasons why is the year that game came
out is also it was a really bad year for me.
It was one of the only good things that happened
to me that year, and I the mercendists of that
game kind of took me out of the crappyughness of
my life that at that time. And not only that,
it was awesome to drop the fly a plane from

(43:00):
San Andreas. Pack just go in the planes, get up
last insurance, going to casino game with your money away,
then rob it, get it all back. It was it
was really really cool.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
I remember sant Andres because when we got the re
release or the remastered, you were so hyped just for that.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Game, and it did horrible. It played horribly.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Obviously it's probably good now, but yeah, san Andres, I
think I've told you this. But my cousins that were
like ten years older than me when that came out,
they had a PS two and we all got DS's
at the same time, I think or something like that,
and so my brother and I were playing on there.
They got DS's and we didn't. We were playing the

(43:42):
Super Mario or Super Nintendo World DS or Mario World
D whatever it was called, on their DSS. While they're
playing GTA San Andres on their PS two, and my
dad came in and like, ooh, the Andrew John Chinab
want you know what's going on here?

Speaker 3 (43:57):
I had a similar experience. I remember my nephew when
he was like seven or eight. He asked, he went
on one of the playoffs, sy, okay, you can play,
but you know this is a bad game. Don't try
to do anything terrible. I gave him the controller. He
immediately saw drive on the siewalk. Give me control back
with you. My next game, and we're get to jumping systems. Here,

(44:18):
we're at the three sixty ps three WEI side of things.
We Sports. And the reason why WE Sports is on
this is not only because it kind it kind of
revolutionized what video games were because of what the Wei was,
a console motion based game. But out of all the
years I've been playing video games, out of all the

(44:39):
years that my parents have brought me video games, We
Sports was the first time my dad played video games
with me.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
I think a lot of my family too, I think
as well, like he had.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
No interest in playing wrestling games with me, had no
interest playing sports games, even though he loves sports. But
when I put WE Bowling up, he said, hey, let
me try. I never forget because actually in this room
where I recorded it just used to be my room
back in the day. My move into the basement, and
I have a memory of us in here going back
and forth with WE bowling. I beat him, of course,
because it's just like a thirt time. They video games

(45:11):
for thirty years, but it was a bun. I routinely say,
hey Dad, wait, we're bowling. Ye'll be down in a minute,
and he and he would be down here. We would
we were bowling it up. Basically, my would be my
sixth game, I believe.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Oh before you do your seventh.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Yeah, uh, there's nothing like we sports trying to do
the basketball game. You're like, I'm trying to shoot, but
he keeps saying I'm dropping the damn ball.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Oh shoot. I skipped up PS two games. I'll go
like a PC real quick, Ratchet and Clink, Going Commando.
I really put raticlink down for the whole series because
the whole series is great, but Going Commando specifically because
that's when they went all in and said, Okay, we're
not going to be a cute little uh you know,
jump on the bad guy's head.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Like no, no, we got weapons. We got weapon everybody
you want.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
Whether you want a weapon shoots if you want to,
a missile launcher that shoots out smaller missiles when you
shoot a big missile out, we have that, or you
turn people to a cant hit him with a wrench.
We have all the weapons you want. The story was
pretty cool too, between Ratting and Clank and then the
captain I can't remember the name of the bad guy
in the game. Uh that he really to be the
bad guy. He thought he was a hero. He wasn't it.

(46:20):
It's just rational. Clink was all fun and mursive experience.
And I've been playing him. I played the last one
that came out a couple years ago, that came on
here PS five. I've been playing him a long time.
My other sixty game though, is and you guys have
been waiting for this probably mass Effect too. Come on,
that's effect.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Too, so that this is your eighth game, right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Perfect, see, yeah, I have two more.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
All right, good, good, good, all right, mass Effect two
Mass Effect to uh man.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
I actually remember when that game came out, by the way,
mass Effect when it came out with eighteen years ago
last week, I didn't realize.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
That had a Who episode about it was seven day
would have celebrated that.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
But the exactly that's mass Attect two actually came out
doing snowmaged in twenty eleven, twenty twelve. Where what it
was when it snowed in this area, this region Baltimore, Virginia, DC.
It snowed what like two feet and then no east
it happened and sold about three feet. It was crazy.
It was just the whole region was shut down. And

(47:17):
I remember when I left work that day, I knew
I was coming back to work for a while because
it's going to snow forever. I remember. I got home
with Mass Effect two, immediately ordered three large piece of
Hut pieces and two dia Pepsi's got to do It's
be in the house for it for two weeks basically,
and we went through some pizza and play some Mass Effects.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
It was on day one and they're like, crap, now
we got no food for those week.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
So one of the best times in my life. I've
beat that game hundreds of times, but at this point
I've beat it with different ways. I've beat it of
course everybody surviving. I beat it with everybody dying. I
beat it with my person Diar, everybody else living. I've
done it so many different ways, and Mass Effects a
legendar editions only added to that because now you can
do it in HG four K whatever. But Mass Effect
two was definitely one of my prime video game experiences

(47:58):
that really changed me. Not deep, this is really great.
The other game for this era Assassin's Creed two.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Oh yeah, wait now we're talking to or Brotherhood two.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
I'm not Brotherhood yet. Two. Brotherhood was great, but it
wasn't for two to be no brotherhood for me.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
You're not You're not wrong.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Assassin's Grade one was cool as Saxon's Creed two, pretty
much like Okay, we see what we were going through
here and then let's go all all in. Basically between
to carry Up at Auditory was one of the still
probably the best Assassin character. It's probably him in Biack.
I would think him Biack and Cassandra probably the best.
Best my favorite ones. I don't not haveing people say
that the one of the power guy, but those are

(48:42):
my three favorite. Probably the game play, of course, adding
the addition of the two Blakes and step people are two.
I mean, I can't see it, but I have him
on my door right here.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
He's still, He's still here.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
Still, he's watches over us. Also again like the story
of basically it's the story of revenge because they killed
his father, the meeting of Leonard Leonardo da Vinci, the
line it's a media Madio because it's his uncle named Mario.
I mean, the whole game is an a period in
time where it's like, man, I can just get lost
in what was it Florentine, Italy? I can remember Tuscany.

(49:18):
I can't remember the other region. You can get lost
in these places, and for a three sixty game, it
looks beautiful. It looks really, really, really beautiful. So that
is my the ninth game. My final game is God
of War Ragnarok. Ooo. All right, twenty eighteen is great,

(49:39):
don't get me wrong, but Ragnarock hit me in a
lot of places I wouln't expected to hit me. The
story continues basically right from the end of twenty eighteen,
where literally you're in the middle of Timberwinter and Ragnarrock starts.
But the relationship between a treas Slash Loki and Cradles
in this game as a father, this has just wrecked me.

(50:02):
And it just makes me wonder what am I in
store for as Leah and Kira get older and how
how what kind of fun am I going to be?
I'm gonna be stern and quiet, and I'm trying to
understand them and want to help them like Cradles did.
But again he tried to help them, but then the
trade shout him out because you want to do his
own thing? How am I gonna him? So? Like I said,
the game hit me in so many areas besides like,

(50:23):
oh sweet, I have I have a magic spear. Now,
you know, I had to range, I had to play.
I have a cool cool spot, cool fire X. And
also you fight four in the first part of the game,
which is pretty amazing too. All that just plus the
experience of me being an actual father in in the
world right now. So yeah, Gandovore right in the Rock
is probably the newest game. I would say that that

(50:44):
that definitely has influenced me. Those are my ten.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
There you go, those are our ten each. You got
twenty that defined this podcast? Yes, so what range.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
From from hand held to UH to console games? Got
them all? Got them all? Got them all? I don't all.
Do you have any honorable mentions? Buddy?

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Ah, there was one I forget. I forgot because I
made the list and I was like, well, maybe put
these on. I was like, no, we're sticking to ten.
You're not giving any extras.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
But Kevin, what are you're on? You had a couple
of honorable mentions.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
One of them probably would be Crackdown because Crackdown was
my first after I bought my first system on my
own for three sixty. Crackdown was my first purchase of
what game that was or the next Gen gaming. It
was amazing. Another one would probably be nice to the
Old Republic because that kind of reignited the Star Wars
love in me back in the day, because it wasn't
that stopped liking it after range of the symptem said Okay,

(51:37):
we're done, don't want Star Wars movie. Now, we're gonna
move it on with life. But then that was like, ooh,
there is this whole other lore I can get into,
and just even though I can't see it play out
for me on a big old screen, I can still
dive into this whole Kotour lore. And then other than that,
it would probably be uh, I will bring the game up.
An old game on PS two called Rumble Racing. Rumble

(51:57):
Racing was a fun game, man, look it up. It's
just fun. I can't even describe it on how it
It's kind of like Mario Kart but actual cars. But
it was. It was a really really fun game.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
I do have two.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
I just I remembered because I was because it's mainly
you could tell because I was talking about picking a
Star Wars game and picking a WWE game.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Day of Reckoning also would have been there as honorable
mention because I was the GameCube one and it was
only on GameCube. I was like, yeah, also about the
guide for that for both of them. I think it
was the second one where like the Boogeyman and Candice
Michelle did like weird magic trick stuff on you. So
it was an interesting time.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
But I think I remember getting down the game cube
and like religiously, that would all I would played. And
the only time I'd get my dad to play is
if he could be onto the Giant but now would
counteract him and just be big show at the time.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
And then the other one the.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Star Wars game Star Wars Rogue Squadron three Rebel Shrike.
It's the GameCube one where Luke is on the in
the hof Uh speeder suit looking aroun at at at
an at and essentially it was the second game, just
remastered to a degree. I think it had a couple
of missions that were different, but that was the game.
My brother and I like used all of the memory

(53:11):
card on the GameCube to like play it. We found
all the cheat codes in that game, and that the
longest time the GameCube, it was that in Pokemon colsee
and we're the only things being played on that GameCube
at the time, the game.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
GameCube was a curious system. Man, I feel like it
could have been it could have been greater. But PS
two was just a freaking monster.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Some of us were Nintendo only until the three sixty
came Outvin, so sorry to tell you we didn't know well.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
PS two only. I had to choose me the Xbox
PS two in GameCube. I was like, well, my friends
have PS two.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Get and it still plies today. Hey what are you getting?
Oh okay, cool, we'll both gets.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
We'll pretty sure again. I seam box half everything.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
Yeah, not gonna like Kevin, I don't know how much
that price point is. It might be the over an
Xbox two or whatever I saw.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
I want to say, maybe six hundred. Like, okay, so
I can play everything that may be worth.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
It, that may be worth it, especially if I can
put epic games on it too. I can play all
those games I've collected the free coupons for.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
It's still less than buying two systems. So it's the different.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
It pays it, and it's a PC more. It's a
PC too. It pays for It pays for itself.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
You can do your taxes on it, okay.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Do the podcast on it. Maybe I don't know, but
I don't camel control of the game controller.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
We'll find out. But that does it for us on
today's podcast. I think it was a good time.

Speaker 3 (54:35):
That was pretty fun.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Actually, yeah, it's a good.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
Little you know.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Let's not do some news, Let's get to know each
other sometime.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Movies.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Movies.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
Oh, that's gonna be hard because I feel like I
need to put Wicked one on that list for more.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
But we'll see.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
We'll see movies, TV shows and soundtracks. It's all coming.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Okay. Soundtracks, that's a little harder, Like I don't know
better beyond that soundtrack all.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Movie soundtracks, no, no, no other music, sound movie soundtracks.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
But it can't be scores. It has to be soundtracks,
so no Star Wars.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
It has to be space jams. Sound space jam makes sense,
you know. And Kevin froze to Sisteract too. Okay, Kevin
got so excited he broke the camera on mine. But okay,
well that's a sign to wrap up more than anything.
So that doesn't for us on today's show, Like we said,

(55:28):
d m us your ten games that define you or
leave in the comments Twitch dot tv or YouTube dot
com Slash Infinite Underscore Pods. You can also follow the

whatever you want.

Speaker 2 (56:19):

It's your Thanksgiving. Do you celebrate it how you want?
Could be Taco Bell if they're open Sesay.

Speaker 3 (56:26):
Chicken and Taco Bell, that'll be wonders.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
For your Kevin Taco Bell needs to get in on
that of like the Asian fusion taco.
