Speaker 1 (00:00):
So today we're gonna be talking about a game that
is near and dear to my heart just because of
its ridiculousness, which would be Goat Simulator. Yay, you're not excited.
You never played. You don't really know what it is
or what it's about or do. Let me actually load
it just so I can give you a hands on

(00:22):
experience through podcast before we get into anything. I did
get another lut crate. I feel like this is gonna
be a shorter episode, so I kind of want to
fill it with stuff this and also lut Crate. By
the way, they're not a sponsor, so I'm going to
have a complaint real quick. My wife did get auto

(00:43):
charged for the next three months, so you'll have three
more of these because they have one of those auto
charge setups where you have to actually call or do
a bunch of stuff. Very clever, Thank you for being
so deceitful. It's very well appreciated, Lude Crag. But you
know I get a shirt out of it, I guess right,

(01:05):
And this month's shirt is danger Zone President twenty sixteen,
an Archer election T shirt. I don't know what the
theme is. Oh, it's a it's anti heroes. Anti Heroes
is the theme. Goat simulators looting up. I got some
kill Bill socks, really kill Bill. Now I will not

(01:29):
wear I don't wear crazy socks. Not a crazy sock person.
There's a Hellboy bank which actually, if you don't mind
putting on the shelf that my Luke create stuff goes
is his fist. I like Hewboy, so I'm fine with this, Okay,
I just put that on the show. It's ceramic. Then

(01:52):
I can't touch that's goat simulator playing in the background.
It's goofy music. Then I have a Harley Quinn Q fig.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
I don't know if I'm gonna take this off of
the out of the box though I like the I
like the little voice coming out.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, a good look.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
It is a good look. So we could just put
that someplace on the show.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
I think this might be probably the best thing you've
ever gotten.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
I'm gonna have to agree with you. Even though I
always like the boxes, I don't know where to put it. Yeah,
I just put it in. I think I'm gonna actually
start saving the boxes. No, no, no, I can. I have
a lot of junk. You know, if you're gonna be
a hoarder, be an organized hoarder. So yeah, the anti hero.

(02:46):
They got suicide squad uh rebirth in the back here,
which is fine. I guess what if I want to
comic book, I'll get an actual comum.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
All right, cool?

Speaker 1 (02:59):
That was fine?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, Code Simulator is the game of the game of
the week. Sorry for being out last week. I I
actually have a sinus infection that I'm still working on,
so I'll get over it.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
For anything that makes me sound more, that's distinguished.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
That was bad, bad. Mm.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
So you got trivia for me. I heard you had
a little trouble with the trivia.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yes, I have to apologize that.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, I know they look forward to trivia and.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Whatnot, but god, Simulator was.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I tapped all my resources to try to find let's say,
entertaining trivia.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I only have.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
One I have one question.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Okay, So you could potentially get a zero, or you
can get a hundred. You can get the highest score
ever possible or the lowest score impossible.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Okay, and how why is that?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I don't think you either.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
I've ever gotten one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
I have a zero point five percent.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Right, So let's see, let's jump right into it.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
How many questions. Just one question, just one question.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
One question.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
That's why are you doing that? What you mean? I
don't know. That's kind of scary. I thought you when
you text me you said you can only find two questions.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
I did, but the second one was so bad I
might even gonna do it.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Here's the one question, okay.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
And it's kind of a you have to explain it,
all right?

Speaker 2 (04:35):
What is significant about April Fool's Day with a gold similator?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
I refuse to answer this question.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
You really don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I feel like you probably if you're thinking about it,
you probably have to know because you like this.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I thought it was going to be an achievement question. No,
you're flipping the script on me.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
I never told you I would ask you that.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Qu Well, hold on, let me set up the mutator
because now you're like, you're throwing me up curveballs, trying
to give me a zero by making a ten point question. Anyway,
So the different mutators in the game, which I thought

(05:19):
the questions would be surrounding, but they're not. So you
can add a jetpack to the game. No, you can
add blue Streak. You tap the S button and then
you roll into a blue ball and you shoot out.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Okay, I'll get that one.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Uh, the Italian dinosaur goat a k A. You lick
something and you can turn it into a bomb, which
is Yoshi, right, goat born. You can speak dragon, which
is a Skyrim joke. Double jump because games have a

(06:00):
good double jump. Actually add that every time. And then
ghost g O A S T H. You're pretty much
you look just like a ghost from pac Man when
you play. But it makes the game a little bit
more I don't know, it's a little bit more hard
hard really because.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
I didn't realize it was that eccentric.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Okay, it's very eccentric. I don't think I'm not. I
don't even know what you're talking about. With the April first.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
Thing it's related to the release date is the help.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'll let you look at your nose to cheat because
this is such an unfortunate doction. This is an open
book quiz. How does that sound? So I'll give you
action to the end of the show.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well, no, it was released on Windows on April first,
But what does that have to do with your question?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Well, the game was intended to be a joke.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
It is a joke.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Well, and that's why they picked April first. It's such
a joke, that's why they picked that day.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
What was the other question you're going to ask me?

Speaker 3 (06:59):
How do you get the.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Oh? Okay, you just blow up the gas station.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I'm gonna ask Achieve a question.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I don't want to get a perfect score because of
a release date. Question.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Well, I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
The simulator is really bad at trivia.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
All right, So you've never seen this game, I'm not. Okay,
I got it loaded with double jump looks nice. Sorry,
And basically your goat and it's your goal to destroy everything.
That's your goal. It kind of works. It kind of
runs on the same engine as like a Tony Hawk game.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Okay, but it.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Plays a lot like Pain. Have you ever played Pain
on Sony? Okay?

Speaker 4 (07:43):
So no real walking animation.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Interesting, No, it's just kind of floating. So all these people,
I can just you can just go crazy on this
group of people. I can't lick them and then drag
them into the street to get hit by a car.
You can pretty much drag anything, uh, with your tongue
like that. I'm dragging this car with my tongue into

(08:06):
the busy road. If I can get over to the road,
that goes there's the road over here. So I'm gonna
take this car. I'm gonna put it right here and
we'll just let the passers by.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Can the go get hurt?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, but he doesn't die. Oh there's a blue streak.
I just did.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
The spin dish.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Just did the spin dish.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
I really hate that.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
M h oh, where's your Michael Bay. Here's your Michael Bay?
Is your Michael Bay? Achievement?

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Wow? Ryan, how many hours have you invested it to the.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I mean, it kind of just depends. It's not It's
not the kind of game that you really spend hours at.
It's a kind of game where I could leave right
now and come back later in the evening just destroy
more stuff, right, and the goal is to get the
highest score possible. As far as achievements, I mean, it

(09:22):
gets pretty it gets pretty intense.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Did I like leaderboards?

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Or of course there's leaderboards. The game's so silly, how
would I know. Let's see what the leaderboards are at.
They got leaderboards for air height. It looks like number
one in the world for air height is player named zero.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Air height.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Like what you were doing? Just fla.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
As far as total score, man Slug is currently leading.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
To man's lug if he's still active.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
And what is that? This is a thousand, hundred thousand
million so two point one billion points.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
And the score accumulates.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, if I don't close it and I just constantly recavic,
then that's how you get a score like this.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
That was pretty weak.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
It's goat simulator.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Okay, So what's the history about this game?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Well, originally, you know, I mean, it was a joke,
but it was still a playable joke in the same
way that like Flappy Bird is like, you know, not, Oh,
I'm gonna get this guy.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
It's ridiculous. What because came in ridiculous?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
It is ridiculous, And that's why it has such a
cult following because it is absolutely.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
I thought you were about to the walls.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
You can if I get a running start, Actually I
might be able to do it with the sonic moan.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
Oh you just glitched right into it.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, there's a trophy in there. So you're in a
town called goat Hinge, and it actually is a town
rich in goat history. There's goat statues all over the place.
Everything is very goat centric. But you've actually decided to

(11:35):
turn against the community and start an uprising. There's even
a sacrificial pit that I could take people to. You
enjoyed doing that, well, you know, if I feel like it.
There's some I think they're called hillbillies in the game.
These hillbillies here are doing some drinking and some off

(11:58):
roading on this show, and you're.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Gonna pull the car into the one doing wheelies.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, the one doing wheelies. You can't destroy him though,
which is upsetting, but you can cause a lot of
stress in all these other people's lives. It's just you know,
it's been It's gotten a lot of different reviews, which
I'm gonna go over real quick. At the lowest of

(12:26):
the spectrum, you have Destructoid, which you gave it to
three out of ten, which is probably a pretty honest review,
I think. So Metacritic, you're looking at a sixty two
out of one hundred, so six point two out of ten.
IGN gave it an eight out of ten, and that's
just IGN doing what they do and whatever's trending, you know,

(12:47):
is a perfect game, So an eight an eight out
of ten. They first started when they developed the prototype
joke via YouTube videos like showing a preview for the game,
and gameplay. But actually people wanted it, you know what
I mean, Like, this is something that people wanted to play,

(13:07):
and it's available on Steam. I'm playing it on my Mac.
It's available on Xbox and Xbox One. It's ten dollars throughout.
It's five dollars on your phone on iOS and Android,
but those games are not nearly as involved this game.
There's a lot of expansions that have been released, including

(13:31):
not really cross promotion, but of that all right, So
the DLC that's available, you have goat Z, which is

(13:52):
pretty much a zombie survival version of Ghosts. You have
goat Momo Simulator, which is like an mL You go
around and you do pointless tasks, and you have an inventory.
You can be a wizard, give me a wizard, and
you can be a tank. Of course, you can get
the soundtrack for Good Simulator. The cross promotion that I

(14:16):
brought up is Payday, so Good Simulator Payday, which is
you know, I mean, it's obviously just a playoff of Payday.
And then you have Waste of Space, which takes place
on a space station, which is more CANDAD two thousand
and one of Space Odyssey, but they use Star Wars fun. Yeah. Yeah,

(14:40):
all of that's free. No no, no, it all costs money,
and i'll cost money. I think it's five dollars per DLC.
The MML is free. You can play the MML, so.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
In the span of it, you've paid much more than
you did for the game itself.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, thirty dollars if you want to pay for all
of it. I do not have all of the DLC,
so I apologize. I do have the MML, but that's
because it is a free addition.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
It's on an MMO.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
You see other goats, right, and do you destroy each other?

Speaker 1 (15:17):
It's more about doing the pointless tasks that are assigned
to you, just like every MML.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
This is really blowing my mind.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
I can't express it because I'm kind of I really
thought this whole time that got Simulator was like a
game about taking care of a goat.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Oh like sim Goat? Yeah, I thought so right, and
none of that.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
I'm thinking when you pick this, I'm like, Okay, he
doesn't really care for like animal Crossing or Harvest Moon, Like,
how can you like go Simulator?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
But I do. I do love Tropico and sim City,
and I mean that would make sense. But this isn't
that kind of game either. It is literally simulating the
life of a goat, and like with the MMO simulator,
like they do this whole username and this connecting thing
where you design what type of goats you want to tank,

(16:11):
A rogue, a hunter, a magician, no class, or just
a microwave with legs.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
I feel like this is a PC game, like from
the year two thousand or something.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
So all of these other people, just to be completely honest,
are are not actual people. It's just a simulator of
what an MMO experience is. So yeah, this guy who's
literally just his head stuck in the fence the entire
time hopping around, this person who's just sitting there doing nothing,

(16:48):
a person walking around in circles, and they're all fake,
And it's all a joke about not only the gaming industry,
but just the idea of See, I'm playing as a microwave.
You just swing your door open, and you have people
that just randomly disappear and like respond and reappear, which

(17:09):
is very typical of an MML.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
I get the humor in that. That's funny.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
I don't think I would pay for that.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well, this is a free it's free but you can
see exactly how I respect the amount of time they
took into I mean, look at the world like, it's
just it's a very classic fantasy MMO design with the
lanterns that seem to have no real power source and

(17:40):
XP for just doing the most pointless of things. I
jumped over a fence like a ten XP.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Now you pick the microwave legs.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Can you do anything special? I do you still have
the abilities.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
That I mean, there's that you can explode? It's still
it still does the classic you know, do the turn
the volume and he shoots out different entrees from his lid.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Okay, I think you have officially picked the worst game
that we've ever done.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
How is this the worst game? It's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Well, even the.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Rape is so ridiculous that I don't think it should exist.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Look at like.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
It's something that should be like a bonus in a
real game.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Well, walking around with the mic as a mic whip.
Think I can be a sorcerer if you want, just implode.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
You know what. I'm not even gonna diss the game
like that because I get the humor of it. I
guess I'm just this shows how uninformed I was because
I really thought it was a simulator.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, that just proves what they that's what they.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Want, I know, right right, which I get it.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I can't see myself playing any more than a half
an hour of that.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
And look at the people like chatting chatting.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
It's so funny, so you never see anybody else.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
And this person says, is this worth the money? Anyone
want to AoE farm me please? LFM herbs. Can you
turn off the chat?

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Yeah, that's.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
A must. That's so funny. Yeah, to have a sense
of humor, you do. And I you know, when I
look at the Destructoid review at a three out of ten,
it makes me feel like they're taking themselves a little
too seriously. And then with ign I feel like they're
just pandering too.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
I will give you that.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
However, a video with a bunch of hits on YouTube,
so probably what.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
A humorous video game is. You don't go back to
what I don't feel like like once you get the
joke is okay.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, I just want to see what you can do.
You'd be surprised. It's a pretty small map, but there's
a lot of distraction to be had. I used to
pay play pain a lot on PlayStation Network, and that
was a game where you took a guy in a
slingshot and just flung him into buildings caused as much
damage as possible. And it's very similar to that, except

(20:20):
you have full control of your character and it just
so happens to be a goat.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Well, okay, Ryan, what score are.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
You giving me? I'm confused how we're gonna roll that out.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
We're just gonna consider it, like, uh, what's the word I.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Want to call?

Speaker 3 (20:44):
No?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Because we need an average. It's like a I refuse
to get a perfect score.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah, I'm not gonna give it. I'm not definitely not
gonna do that.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
I'm gonna feel because the question was it good if
you want to have answer the Michael Bay questions, but
I still need a score.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Fine, you have a hundred on a pop quiz. The
pop quiz is not legit.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Right, so fun Okay, Well.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
You didn't get it, so you got a zero? Well
did I think about it?

Speaker 5 (21:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (21:12):
I feel like the whole thing was rigged kind of
like I feel like I went into that quiz with
the same view you went into this podcast thinking, why
is Ryan like this game about being a goat or
taking care of a goat. Well, in fact, it's nothing
like that. And I come in expecting a ten question
quiz and I get a pop quiz that has one

(21:34):
question in essay form.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Kind of it's not even a real question.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Is I have a real question? And let's go appear.
Let's pull up this propane. Do you not like goats
on a person?

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Actually?

Speaker 4 (21:50):
I do like ghats.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
I kind of war one.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
I thought this game will kind of educate me on it,
but it's not.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
No, No, I know you were looking for an educational expand.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Although I do know that girls can be miss uh
destructive and misbehave.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Now they are actually extremely destructive yet, which is why
they are the.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
So you're looking to blow up the whole building?

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Oh no, I.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
See, I.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Think those points just going up you can actually go
dead lag. So if I'm just jumping and I go dead.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
And right, can you swim?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yes? You can swimming? Can actually use his jetpack underwater
if you like. Oh I'm still in dead Man. They
can still jump to ridiculous. Uh you take yourself too seriously.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
No, I'm vastly disappointed because now I know that there's
not a real goat similar game out there.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
There's not, which means somebody still needs to make one.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Why would you want that?

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Because simulators are fun.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Simulators are fun, But this is a goat. Nobody wants
to be a goat. It's a very sad creature. I
mean they're literally just sad. They're just there to make
the horses not depressed.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
Oh that's someone doesn't like nature.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
No, I mean goats are just sad. I mean we
my friend had a horse and in the stable with
the horse was a goat, and I saw it do
things that a person should never see another animal do it.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Well I can tell you off the air, Oh.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
You're gonna jump off the raft now?

Speaker 3 (23:40):
Or spin dash?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Oh? I don't have that on? Turned it off.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Into the pool.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
This is stupid.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
If anything, you'll be you'll you'll come away dumber from
watching me play this.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
No, I'm keeping my shields up pretty high, you're what.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
I'm keeping my shields up pretty high.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
However, changing my opinion of you.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Why this is so unorthodox from the line of games
that you typically picked. Super Meat Boy was kind of
on kind of trending that way, and now here you are,
you'll play this, but you won't play Splatoon? Are you

(24:37):
getting points for big and animal noise?

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Okay, yes, there's a roller coaster Dante.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
You don't get in it.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
You can get my tongue on that.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Keep g rate it.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
They're in my way.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Don't pick you can't jump in it.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
I'm attached too with my tongue.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Okay, I just don't even know.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
You don't know why.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
I don't know what's happening to me.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Right now, you're watching a goat with his tongue attached
to a fairs.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
I'm watching you.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
That is a goat, sir. That is not me.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
I don't think any game should be off limits to you.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
The game received mixed reviews. Like I told you, Some
reviewers praised the title for providing a humorous sandbox interface,
while others criticize the game's reliance on social media to
popularize what was otherwise as simply and buggy, simple and
buggy product.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
It is available on PlayStation. Uh yeah, surprise, Well no,
I thought Microsoft had it's gretty little hands involved. I
would a re purchased it on PlayStation, give him more money,
but then you wouldn't have been able to experience this.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
What else has the studio worked on here?

Speaker 1 (26:10):
I'll bring it up.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Better, not be like Ant simulator.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Or no, no, no, no, no, yeah, let me let
me get down with my Ferris wheel. You gotta laugh, Dante.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
No, it's not happening. This is not I mean, they
have a mother. Was kind of fun just because it's
you know, that stuff happens. But I'm just really disappointed.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
In neither though not in the.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Loved.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Maybe this would be a game like that Ryan gets
me to get into Goat similar, but far from it.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
No, it was never that intent. There was never a
moment in my head where I was like, hmm, what
game will Dante enjoys so much that I might encourage
him to purchase Goat simulator? All right? So what else?
When I give you the list of things they've worked on,

(27:09):
a lot of them are Goat similar simulator related. You
have to be kidding, mmmm kidding. Alright, let's look. So
in twenty ten, they came out with a game called
I Love Strawberries.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
All right.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
In twenty eleven, they made the game Sanctum.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
I think I've heard of that.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
I feel like I have heard of that. Actually, it's
a pretty cool interface. Hmm hmm. Indeed it's a Windows
Mac game, so PC or Mac. So that was twenty eleven.

(27:57):
They did Sanctum two in twenty thirteen, Goad Simulator in
twenty fourteen, and then twenty sixteen the game The west
Port Independent as it released. Yeah, okay, released in January
of twenty sixteen. Not very good scores, but Coffee Stain

(28:24):
is the name of the company.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
There might be a trend here what they don't score
very well unless it's with IGN.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
So it is available. I mean, it's available everywhere. And
then apparently it's a kind of a socio political game
because it talks about corruption and politics and the newspaper industry.
But I mean, obviously, what are the reviews on Amazon
the good Simulator. You're looking at four stars throughout four

(28:55):
and a half or some How do you feel about that?

Speaker 3 (28:59):
I think people or either Nope, I'm not gonna get
my fee. Nope, I'm not going to.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Look can get a free.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah I will be doing that.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
No. No, you can get a free on the kindle everybody.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Mm hmm free, not even for five dollars on the
I'm definitely not getting it on my phone for five dollars.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Do you have a kindle?

Speaker 4 (29:28):
No?

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Or not a kindle but either fire?

Speaker 3 (29:33):
No? I don't.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Okay, that's too bad. You're missing that good simulator. I
know they're I don't. I don't know if they're gonna
keep releasing stuff, but it feels like they are. Almost
every year something comes out revolving thinking.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
They probably don't have much left. What do you mean,
I think they'll be ending pretty soon. I'm just gonna
fill a bullet prediction out there.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
That's that's let's get some stats. It's either over a
million in sales.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
It's a ten on a game.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
What's that mean?

Speaker 3 (30:18):
You can buy it on the women. I'd be upset
and enjoyed for thirty minutes and be done.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
I'll continue to go back to this game every time
he come over.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
I'm going ahead to make these visits shorter than make
it right to the point.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Speaking of shorter and in the point, I'm sorry the
episode was shorter and to the point. It was more
just me trying to irritate Dante with a game that
is not nearly up to his standards. And I promise
you next week we are going to be talking about
a game that is completely up to his standards, which
is dios x mankind divided. Wait, that'll be next week.

(31:01):
Don't forget. We have the Big Fan Day twenty sixteen
on October October what what was it? Twenty second? I
believe though, yeah, October twenty second. I did start a
group on Steam as well. I think it's a Liquid
Fans I think, or something or Liquid Liquid Podcast Fans
or something around that. But I did put a link

(31:23):
on the Facebook page. Anything you send me I will
be reading on the air for Fanday twenty sixteen. I
actually made a email address just for the podcast, so
in case people don't want to do the whole Facebook thing,
you can just email me and it's Liquid Podcast at
outlook dot com.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Yes, let us know or let me know.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, just make them out of Dante.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, let me.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Know your thoughts on go similar because I can't be
the only one who feels this way.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Well, obviously not. The reviews are very poor in some cases.
It's true. People definitely are not. I mean, you know,
you just had to be in that mood.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
I kind of don't like critics sometimes though, so I'd
like to know from real gamers.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
I don't think critics can be real gamers.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
I agree, so sorry, But so next week, look forward
to a real game. I guess hopefully I'll be over
the sickness. We'll see. It's kind of it's something I
go through once a year. I get I just get
really sick for a few weeks. Well that's amazing.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Kind of keep me out.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Nintendo and Juice. So right, so until next time, follow
me on Twitter at Liquid podcast. You can, you don't.
You've got a Twitter, right? Would you get Dante Underscore?

Speaker 3 (32:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (32:44):
No, you don't get anything.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
No, I'm done.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
You're done.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yeah, somehow I got lost and I just gave up.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Oh so.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'll come back.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Okay, well, if you do, let us know. But until then,
my name is Ryan and I'm Dante Kong. Good gaming.
