Speaker 6 (01:29):
How are you pal? What's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Mike?

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Tummy hurts a little bit too. I've chewed on several
pepto bismols.

Speaker 6 (01:35):
Okay, you know that you now you know that'll turn
your tongue black. Right, Yeah, but that's cool. Why does
that happen.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
Because the the bis mal is is like a mineral
that like is black.

Speaker 6 (01:49):
I think that's I think it's that simple.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Yeah, the liquid is pink, but bismol itself, the pepto
is pink and it overpowers the bis maol.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
All right, Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
I used to.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
Really enjoy the taste of that concoction. What yeah, when
I was a kid. When I was a kid, I
used to like take it. I'd be like, I'd be like, hey,
on one hand, I got a tummy ache. On the other,
I get to drink this thing. I kind of enjoyed.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
Funny because Mike is not like work like this is
not him building it up at all. That's just his
genuine reaction to this information.

Speaker 7 (02:24):
Was the most cartoon what I've ever heard. We really
need that isolate.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Like nobody like nobody liked the taste of pepto bis
We always need that purple.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Tamata was good.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
You know again, this is when I was a bit
ship was pepto? Yes, children.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Before before we keep going, we have the master of mustard.
He is now a connoisseur of all things yellow, gray
Pool Pond, spicy mustard, honey mustard, and all the variants
our own spice, spice, se brown, gal recor don't give
me too much credit.

Speaker 7 (03:03):
Now now I'm currently at the Spicy Brown, I mean
the spicy brown from stf I think that's what it was.
And then McDonald's mustard and ketchup at the same time.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
I did two at once. You know what I was
gonna do?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I was.

Speaker 7 (03:16):
I told Bank, I said, I'm gonna have a mustard
burger tonight, and she goes, what And I said, yeah,
I'm I'm gonna get mustard on and she's like, what else,
We'll meat and.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Cheese at least do ketchup.

Speaker 7 (03:24):
I didn't realize that was such a thing, Like it
has to be mustard and ketchup, and people.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Don't do the mustard.

Speaker 7 (03:28):
Well, I burger and so I did two at once.
It was crazy and it was fucking good.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
They're like a tag team Dan like.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
But like a peanut butter sandwich is good. I mean,
jelly adds something makes it a little different. But like
bonk was kind of like like, oh, just mustard would
be weird.

Speaker 6 (03:44):
It needs to be like in some sort of office
of like international political power, and you.

We sweat, yes, as soon as we have a card
that we can used to expense stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I swear to God if the takeaway from everything that
just happened is that I'm weird because I only like
mustard on my burgers are not ketchup.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
I'm gonna no, no, no, no, Joe, Mustard's not weird.
That's that's it's weird.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
No.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
The no larger than seeking validation from other people.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Mike, Well, I'm gonna see validations and chat securities from
my childhood.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Chat says, have I tried honey mustard?

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (04:52):
Sorry, I forgot to mention that when I got my
McDonald's order on Friday or Saturday, it was a cheeseburger
with mustard and ketchup and nuggets with honey mustard dip,
and they were both awesome.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
The mustard you had it, s g F. I think
was like a Mayo mustard sort of concoction.

Speaker 8 (05:08):
There is pretty pale, right, man, Oh my god, you
just blew on.

Speaker 7 (05:21):
What the hell?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
What I try that to?

Speaker 6 (05:23):
Have you had? Where do you land on?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Mayo?

Speaker 7 (05:26):
So here's the here's the shoot answer to that. This
is a three point oh answer. You've never heard three
point answer.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
Just be normal, Just be normal, three bright normal.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
That's what three point brother is something a normal man?

Speaker 6 (05:42):
At forty one, we've hit normal.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Here's the real answer.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
Okay, it weirds me out in a way that like
if I hear something as mayo or if it's just
straight up raw dog mayo, I will bristle.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
And I probably have not had it.

Speaker 7 (05:56):
But I've been having aoli for years on staying what
and stuff like that, and I love it. And I've
been doing the thing where Chad is like aoli's just mayonnaise,
and I realized they're probably certainly right, but I'm going
to act like obstinate and be like, well, that's not
possibly true.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's aoli. It's a different thing. Got into my head.

Speaker 7 (06:13):
I'm pretty sure no one's lying to me about aoli
being mayonnaise. But I can convince myself that I'm not
having mayonnaise, so like, it's easy enough for me to
believe I've never had mayonnaise, but realistically I've probably had
it in a million different things, and I'm just telling
myself it's not there.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
You know.

Speaker 6 (06:27):
I think Dan three point zero is also an idiot,
but also, yeah, go ahead, man, I don't like raw
dog mayonnaise.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I do, like I eat a lot of things make
with mayonnaise, for sure, but I want, like, even if
it's just like a squirt of saracha, what's something in
the mayo?

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Mike, I am with you.

Speaker 7 (06:45):
On that, But He's like, that's like the Popeyes chicken
sandwich things had. It's like my favorite fucking thing in
fast food, and I know they straight up call it
spicy mayo, and I think just putting that spice in
it and having to be a Little Red is like.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
Mayo's a base in a lot of things like that
of dressings.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
May I suggest QP.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Mayo like the Japanese stuff that is like.

Speaker 6 (07:05):
A Mayo, A Japanese Mayo three was a big boy.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
He doesn't need to kid himself. I can just have
rad Dog Mayo next time.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
But I'm just.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
Saying cute, QP. You will like it's got a bit
of a tang.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
In Dog Mayo.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I don't like it.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
It's nice. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna posit that
for you in the group to expand your male horizons.
I'm opening what happened?

Speaker 7 (07:26):
I've heard Ranch has mayonnaise in it, and I love
her answer, like I've realized I've been having mayonnaise in life.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
This is growth. I'm still waiting for five point zh
but here, you don't hold your horses. Okay, so you're
shooting shoot with me for real?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Is that the third time you've had ketchup? You said
before you've had it like maybe twice. Sure, So do
you think you really think that's the third time in
your life you've had ketchup?

Speaker 6 (07:51):
Real?

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Answer?

Speaker 7 (07:52):
Okay, well no, no, no, no, no, hang on, not third No,
I probably tried it on fries for the first time
at McDonald's while I was a game informers. This would
definitely be between nine and twenty fourteen. I tried it
on fries. I four shoot, had never had it on
a burder. I don't think I have had ketchup on
anything but fries or maybe like potato wedges once or

(08:13):
twice at some point, but even then it is probably
in the like it's not three. But I don't think
I've had it twenty times. Okay, but this is definitely
the first time I've had it on.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
It basically right right to have it less than twenty
times in forty one years, Yes, it's basically having it
two times because I.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Get dipped from my fries all the time. It's always
ran to barbecue sauce. But if I'm in a situation
where it's just ketchup, now, I will have ketch up.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
You know, It's fine.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Look, you know a lot of the same way that
I deal with you is the way I deal with
my son, And I think the good thing in that
sort of world is like he tries shit and he
likes it. So that's where you're at. Yes, yeah, and
I love that for you. Yes, that's why I love that.
You're just trying shit out and you're liking the majority
of the things you try out. That's called growth. And

(08:58):
who can be met at that?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
You know what, Dan, I'm happy for you sampling at
the Buffet of life.

Speaker 7 (09:05):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Jan Yeah, drink, that's what Robin Williams.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
You know what I want to get past. I want
to get past the fucking bullshit where you're like, I
don't like the color of this, therefore I'm not eating
it or trying.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
That's That's never been the case, you know. I've liked
okay with what all the time.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
That looks weird, it's probably got pickles in it or lettuce.
I'm not eating it. Color though, dude, whatever, I'll eat
all the colors something that you don't eat based solely
on appearance. I'm done.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't like this anymore. Don't worry.

Speaker 7 (09:41):
You're almost done with the Rikers this week now with
truck on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Maybe I planned my little camping trip to coincide with that.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
That's smart, smart he is, like, what is he gonna
beta branch or.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
No?

Speaker 6 (09:58):
But I respect that Jane. That's smart, that's thinking.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Head Hardo Gonzalez says. The new guy at work has
been trying to get everyone to try peanut butter banana
and mayo sandwiches.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
Banana, I'm sure that's fine, is awesome. You put me
on a sandwich, it disappears into the bread. It just
makes the bread wet. That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
My issue is not the mayo bread wet.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Have you had a peanut butter burgers?

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, I try, I would try, said, Yeah, striker, A
striker made me order one once.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, it's a gimmick, but it's not a bad one.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, y'all, y'all got like a favorite burger gimmick that
you like that.

Speaker 7 (10:36):
You will completely Cowboy the Cowboy burger type thing where
it's like barbecue, sauce, rings Rogers, the Toy Soldiers burger.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
There waiting the movie tie in burger.

Speaker 7 (10:53):
Yeah it was small so Small Soldiers.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
Yeah, Toy Soldiers is a very different movie shot.

Speaker 7 (10:58):
That's an xbo a.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, man, Yeah, the Rodeo Burger. I don't know why
I remember this the thing about the time, but the
radio Burger was originally a tie in with Small Soldiers
and it just stuck herd.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
I was working there when that, when that happened, and
that so you triggered me in a very violent way.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
It was I'm actually kind of mad.

Speaker 6 (11:17):
So and that's just the idea of like barbecue sauce
and onions and ship Yeah, onion rings on your ring.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Maybe bacon, bacon, bacon.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
I feel like bacon can be a part of that
can be, but it's not necessary for a rodeo burger.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah. I always enjoy an egg on my frid Egg
had done that.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yet, but I I could do.

Speaker 7 (11:34):
I remember one time at E three, Abby ordered pizzas
with eggs. So this is another summertime video game convention
pizza controversy. We had, you know, Backlars fuck up and
then Abby also ordered pizza once and I had egg
all over it, and I remember just being like, what
the hell is this and.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Why would you do this there?

Speaker 7 (11:51):
And she and she wanted me to try it, and
I was like, that was that was Dan, That was
new Dan. He didn't try new things.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
I just keep remembering Abby getting that crab at that
seafood place.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
All right.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
You told me, oh my lord, I don't think you
were there, maybe not that's just when I think this
was when we were like not telling you stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
One of my favorite moments of SGF was we were
talking about Fortnite and I said, I'm still kind of
a pubg guy, and Abby almost to herself, was like still.

Speaker 6 (12:26):
They made me laugh.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Hell, you get me.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
When Abby burns you, it's like a specific kind of burn,
and it's.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Like, yeah, it owns. Yeah, it's like wow, directly laser targeted.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Did Dan, do you have a food that you don't
like that you just kind of keep eating out of
shame or you keep hoping like I'll be honest, I
don't know. I love eggs and I still just keep
and I keep trying to turn around on it. I
ate that whole egg that was in my ramen. I'm like,
everybody loves this, it must be good, and meaning I'm like,
that's still kind of weird.

Speaker 6 (12:56):
Why did you go back and forth on though?

Speaker 7 (12:59):
Here's here's the thing, and like I and again, this
is three point zero. I eat eggs as much as
like there's been an old you know, the cooking and
egg chills and all that stuff. That's all true, but
I eat it regularly, and I am kind of like
unless I loaded that with so much like pepper jack
cheese that I can't even like really taste the egg.
They just kind of make me queasy and not in
a weird way. I just don't love the taste of eggs. Really,

(13:22):
don't you breakfast stuf in general.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Everybody much, they're putting eggs on more things than ever.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
That eggs, bananas, super food. You're gonna live forever. If
you don't like them, don't eat them. But yeah, they're
putting them on everything. That's fine because.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
You can make an egg in a way that makes
it at least palatable to a lot of butter and cheese.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Most people like eggs. You're getting eggs. It's got a
lot of butter.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I saw someone make a breaded fried egg sandwich and
it kind of mad my brain.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
Amazing.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
Yeah, eggs are like one of those foods where it's
like in this white that's so expensive, I want them
every day.

Speaker 6 (14:02):
But in everything they're also being everything. They're used as
like a bonding game everywhere, Like no, I know you're
talking about like you know, over easy scrambled. I just
don't like them, really don't.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Like even when we had that deviled egg at that
one restaurant in l A. I like the filling, but
then there's just this weird kind of egg base and
I like try to eat that like yum. People like
these and I'm like, oh, this egg part is just
so weird.

Speaker 6 (14:29):
I think I could eat ten hard boiled eggs in
a row.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
All right, TGAs that's the segment, yeah, with the with
with no yoke.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
I want yolk.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Okay, that doesn't that's apparently that's you're eating air at
that point.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
I know, but that's like a tremendous amount of cholesterol.
I just don't cholesterol. That's I love.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah, over eating. Last night, I made a real bad choice.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
So we had a whole Dairy Queen birthday ice cream
cake in the freezer, and it's just like we had
a ton of it left. And last night I was
high and playing Destraining two and Bunk brought me a
slice of Dairy Queen ice cream cake that was just
so fucking chunky and giant and probably fifteen hundred calories
on its own, and then I had another one afterwards,

(15:15):
and my whole face was like sweaty. I didn't sleep
well last night just because I had almost like half
of an ice cream cake after a big dinner.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah yeah, I played Foh yeah, all right. I kind
of pieced together in my head why I had such
a bad tummy ache the last day of SGF.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
And then I was like, I think that morning I
was feeling a little bit more anxious. So my bright idea,
And keep in mind the night before I did drink
half of a big buzzball and then when I was
cleaning up my desk situation, I realized, oh yeah, I
polished off the rest of this Jack Daniel's bottle. Now
the morning I was like, oh, I'm a little bit

(15:56):
like nervous about today and shooting everything, so let's just
take more of my antidepressants.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
And then I think they recommend that you should mix
that with a jack Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
And then I was like, oh, you know what, feeling
a little bit sicky. Pooh, let me throw in a
day quill in there.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
I want this to not sound judgy at all, but
I just ended up drinking very little during SGF, honestly,
and I recommend it. I feel great, Yeah, fun, what's
that you think you're better than me? I think I
might be getting further and Seco than you, So maybe
for that, but for this.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
No, well he said the magic word, and the magic
word was the name of a video game. Mike Manati,
you were playing arguably one of my favorite games of
all time that I may or may not have finished
off of stream, and I haven't said that out loud

(16:48):
because that would make a couple of people anger out. Uh, Mike,
you've been playing Sechiro Jan.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I'm so sorry I insinuated I was better than you.
Clearly not the case. Not only did you you know
how much I would have to let everybody know if
I beat Sekero, right, it's a major character flaw, like
I did that on stream. Who gives a little shit?
This game's very good, loah, this game rules. Like is

(17:15):
this like the best action game in terms of like
just like sword action game, right, because.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's the genre here. Yeah, I've been chasing this high
for forever now.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, because like it's almost less of that typical frum
Soft thing than Ale was expecting, because you know, like Bloodborne,
Oh it's dark Souls, but you know, Victorian, you have
a gun mostly for counters. Blah blah blah. It's like, okay,
so this is just gonna be you know, uh Samurai
Dark Souls and like, no, a lot of the RPG

(17:46):
stuff is out of in terms of the character customization.
The class is even leveling up. There's some progression item sure,
but you know, all that stuff almost feels more Devil
May Cry than Dark Souls. And then you have all
the verticality with the wall jump in in the grappling hook. Oh,
I love me a good grappling hook.

Speaker 7 (18:04):
It's a good hook.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah. And I know we've been using the term perry
slop parenthesies negative. Perry Slop is nothing but parenthesis positive
for me all day long. God, I love Parrying and
video games. It's so good. I've been thinking about it
too much. It's almost like this point where game criticism
as an idea breaks down, right because it's like, I

(18:25):
like Parrying. I don't well exactly, I can't write like
five paragraphs to defend my position here, but it feels
fantastic for me. The game is still absolutely gorgeous. You know,
I love in these games where I do come across
up Boston. Maybe I could just go and do something

(18:46):
else in this In this game a little bit less
so there are some upgrades, but it's not like I
can just go grind enemies. Yeah, yeah, So you know,
Madam Butterfly was her name, and I think a lot
of people say she's one of the first quote unquote roadblocks.
I was like, okay, just fight this boss for like
two hours, learn its mechanics, and then like on an
attempt forty take it down. And it feels so freaking

(19:09):
good to do that. It feels amazing. So yeah, like
you know, a lot of hype on this one, but
it's already one of my favorite from soft games for sure.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
That one is so cool.

Speaker 7 (19:18):
That game, but it's like the only from Soft games
I've really beaten in the Soul's series or whatever is
like Bloodborne. I know it's not the Soul series, but
souls Borne, Like yeah, Bloodborne and elden Ring because I'll
just grind and grind and grind and grind and over
level myself and then I can go fight something. But
like Secio, I can't remember if I beat Madame Butterfly,
and I feel like I played like ten plus hours

(19:38):
of Secio and it was just dying and dying and
dying because like I can never I can never get
the perrying thing down or whatever. So like, I respect
those games so much, but I just I hit a
roadblock always pretty early and stop.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Right cause, like again like a Bloodborn or a Dark Souls,
it's like, well, you know they don't have parrying, isn't
a thing get to do a ton of you can block,
you can just the role. There's other things you can do.
You can have a build that's very range this game. No,
you're gonna have to parry and swing your sword actually,
so it's definitely a bit more rigid, but it's also
a play style that I love. Like, if I could

(20:12):
choose play styles, this would be the one I would
want to go to anyways. But they do fun things
with that. Since you're not making a player character and
all this stuff, you know, you actually are a character
who is a bit of a story, not a ton
of Ba's like he's talking all the time. But there's
a little bit more going on here narrative wise. It's
not just a lore and I love that. But yeah,

(20:33):
I'm using this too much. I love the lore slop
in the dark slop them for sure, but yeah, I
like a little bit more framing here.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
Have you like put the piece together any of Like, oh,
when you die. It affects the world and everyone's getting
more upset and some characters are acting different and stuff
like that. Because that stuff, like I noticed, I didn't
fully understand.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, I actually just got like the item to cure
them if I want to. But it's like one of
those things where it's like, don't cure them unless like
you need them for a side quest, and like, okay.
That's always been my least favorite thing about these games
is the oddly up too side quests that I usually
just don't end up because I either don't do them
or have to rigidly follow a guide or listen to
my chat to see what to do, and I find

(21:18):
that boring also, so maybe they're a bit more intuitive
in this one. We'll see. Uh.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
And then I always whenever Secroo comes up, I have
to mention that I beat Jinny Truro with while holding
Addie when she was a baby, so she was sitting
right here and.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
Like that that's all I needed to hear. Yep, and
is tough?

Speaker 7 (21:38):
So yeah, is that the last boss?

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Uh? No? No, but he's like.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
One of the later game bosses for sure. O.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, cool cool.

Speaker 7 (21:44):
I watched Kayla trying the last boss and she is
like maybe the best gamer I've watched those type of games.
And she that last boss. I've watched her for hours
try to beat that and it just seems impossible.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
So you'll admit I'm better than her when I beat
that boss.

Speaker 7 (21:59):
Yeah, I I I think you should challenge her, and
I think that's a few I would watch. So yeah,
you know what, I.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Get to that final plaus I should tell her. She
just both floated up at the same time.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
Oh, you should, that'd be great.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
And then, uh, this is a mount rushmore of games
you don't actually want white people to say the correct way,
like because it's it's like and it's like, you don't
ever want me to say the game the right now.
White people were like, people are like, you gotta to
proounce the word the Japanese words, right. I'm like, you
don't really want that, Like do you really want me
going around saying like, no, come on.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
That's stupid. Now I kind of do okay, well just
do you okay? All right? All right?

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Going from one incredibly tough game to another game that's
just tough to look at mine's eye grub.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (22:47):
This is a video game allegedly.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
You just laughing hearing the words of mind.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Yeah, I mean it is this year's punching bag deservedly.
So I got really built up because it's Leslie Benzi's
He's the guy that directed basically a lot of Rockstars
games since, like GTA three and stuff like that, maybe
even before I don't know, but yeah, he was instrumental
to all of those games, and this was his first one.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
After leaving Rockstar.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
And it just feels completely duct taped together, and then
between the duct tape is smoke and mirrors. There's nothing there.
It's you drive to a mission, you shoot some guys,
you drive back. If you go off the path, it's
a game over kind of like yeah that the Red
Red Redemption two does that, and I've complained about that
that is not a fair comparison. That is like, well, no,

(23:34):
we're gonna let you play a video game. This one's
like no, don't even try actually to have fun here,
or we'll shut the whole thing down.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
The excuse me.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
The only interesting thing that we really discovered was you
could spaghettify seb. You could drive into your friend with
your car after it gets out and he turns into
a giant spaghetti monster, and that was the only time
that that thing remotely looked like a fun thing to do.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
You keep saying spaghetti. The one time he did it
for me, he turned into a tent. I couldn't.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
Yes, he did. He did, like pitched up like one
of those auto tents. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
One of my favorite things I've heard about this game
is Giovanni from Digital Trends. I posted this, uh this
link on Blue Sky. He said, quick spoiler for the game,
But when you beat it, you unlock free roam mode,
which contains quite literally nothing, and you were forced to
play as this character by default and can't change anything
about him. If you click that link, it is just
a gray haired man and a gas mask and a
turquoise crop top with the words can't drink dust over

(24:31):
his belly button and tied I shorts and you have
to be that.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Look at this guy.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Yeah, that's you have to be that guy.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
What is this? Okay?

Speaker 5 (24:45):
I think I gotta unlock this. Let's all be him
prowl this season nuts?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
What are you like?

Speaker 6 (24:52):
Why is this even a thing?

Speaker 1 (24:55):
I don't know?

Speaker 6 (24:56):
You can't can't drink dust man?

Speaker 2 (24:59):
What is that?

Speaker 4 (25:00):
The weirdest default character?

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Mag are we sure that the Bens did what he
did for GTA?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Are is there documentation?

Speaker 2 (25:09):
It's that, But like we see so much of these
people who made their name on some big game or
franchise golf through something else make the spiritual successor, and
it just doesn't work out. You know, the Dai Katanas,
the Mighty Number nine, the Balance Wonder World. There's a few, right,
blood Stained, blood Stained, but it seems like more often
than not, it's like, Oh, you need a whole team

(25:31):
and support system and all this stuff to make these
games happen, and just going off and doing your own
with gumption and a lot of skeets, is it going
to make it happen? Uh? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
I think we said during the thing that this does
honestly feel like the Mighty Number nine of GTA games,
Like it really really does. So yeah, don't don't waste
your money on it, just watch other people play it.
Even that is kind of boring. So if this thing wasn't,
like I guess it's like fifteen to twenty hours of
these stupid ass missions, I would try to get to
Can't Drink Man, But otherwise I'll to just live vicariously

(26:03):
through Uh yeah, Giovanni over here.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
Is the character from the game. I don't understand.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
No, it sounds like it's not.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
It's just like a random mad Max like right off, guy, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, uh wait, chat, you're confused. We're saying bloodstain was
the exception. Everyone's like blood stained and.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
That's not We're pretty clear no blood Yeah yeah, you
were literally talking about exceptions and that's where we mentioned
blood stains not our fault, and.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
That one's on you. Yeah, I'm sorry, all.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Right, gang. Uh well, you know, the switch to came out,
and I believe all of us now have he switched to.
Shouts out to my boy Dan reb for selling me
his uh. And one of those games that is occupying
a lot of time is Mario Kurt.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Whoa first though, grab.

Speaker 7 (26:47):
I saw your thing and I tried it about the
kickstand serving.

Speaker 6 (26:50):
What do you think about this?

Speaker 7 (26:52):
Okay, so you did it where you had your fingers
like I do.

Speaker 6 (26:56):
I do it in a bunch of different ways.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
I adjusted to like get comfortable whenever when removed strikes me.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
But that's one of the ways I've been doing it.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Now.

Speaker 7 (27:02):
Now here's the thing I saw in your comments that
is my new way. You go all the way up.
I like this, and there are these nubs here and
then you can just rest and so this is just
like you're it's like a grip like more so than
the other way. So like go all the way up
and then put your fingers on the.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
Back of audio listeners that are wondering exactly what's going on.
Dan is holding his switch to and he's extended the
kickstand while holding it, and he's kind of to put
it all the way up, and he's found these nubbins
there that his middle finger and his pinky finger sort
of rest underneath, and it's supporting the whole switch to.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
I've been playing in a variation of this, and it
makes it like super comfortable, to the point where it's
like I wouldn't even consider getting grips now for this thame,
especially if they're gonna get especially if they're gonna get
in the way for.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
The audio listener. Mike Manatti, in the meantime, has also
been juggling three oranges but being repulsed by them at
the same time.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Getting them getting the natural oil stuck on my fingies.

Speaker 6 (27:58):
I gotta say, I I don't like the heart. I
don't like the ergonomics of the switch to you tried.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Have you tried using the kickstand it's a grip.

Speaker 6 (28:10):
No, I'm legally forbidden.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Yeah, you're not to touch the kickstand. I think there's
a season to asist.

Speaker 6 (28:15):
I've never even opened it up because I just, you know,
I don't know if you found a way to kind
of like organomically hack the grip on that thing. I
don't know. It's it's it's making my hands like claw
up in a weird way. I think like the steam
deck is like kind of perfect for me. I've I
don't know, I don't love it. I'm actually upset. Yeah,

(28:38):
I mean, let's be real.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
The real analog stick below the butt the face buttons
is just straight up worst than having it off to
the left of the face buttons the way it.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Is on the steam deck.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
It is you have to jut your thumb down.

Speaker 7 (28:51):
What do you consider the as the angle better?

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Like, Mike, I hear you. Here's interesting, I'm right and
you're wrong. Like it's just I agreed, I have I.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Don't think I've ever had a problem with almost any
control device. So okay, I don't like the way the
steep deck feels.

Speaker 6 (29:07):
Oh, but where the anale stick is.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, I don't like it on the left of the face,
butns it's weird to me, okay, just like you just
move your thumb to the left.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
My problem is small.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
And it's like I'm get normal thumbs and then.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
The thumb nub. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
This isn't the place to discuss this.

Speaker 6 (29:27):
Yeah, talk to your talk to you dead, talk to
you dead.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
The switch to the stick is like, I don't mind
an offset stick. People are like symmetrical versus offset.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
I don't mind it offset.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
I don't mind this. It's too far down. Yeah, there's
a been your thumb too much.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
There's something going on where like I can play Mario
Car for forty five minutes and I'm just like, I
don't like what's happening with my hand stuff. Now it's
a problem. It's the problem.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
I don't think it's well for me.

Speaker 7 (29:53):
I've never even thought of this, being like, I've never
like considered the distance of the stick to the face.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
Preser, And it has everything to do with what it
is physically doing to.

Speaker 7 (30:03):
My Sure, well you are the oldest here, so.

Speaker 6 (30:06):
Right, that's got nothing to do with it. But yeah, yeah,
what do you mean, Grubber, Are you oldest?

Speaker 2 (30:14):
I think so, aren't I?

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Normally he's fifty three?

Speaker 6 (30:19):
Wait a second, you didn't know I was. I'm a
year older than you.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
I thought you were.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
I thought you I thought we were like the same agent.
Oh and then you're birth We have like our birthdays
are two days apart. But I'm eighty two, you're eighty three.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Okay, I'm the middle child of Giant Bomb.

Speaker 6 (30:32):
I'm the youngest Dan. You just dressed the oldest. Everyone
else is younger. Okay, okay, uh yeah, No, it's got
everything to do with the ergonomics, like it's so I
don't know. I don't know, it's it's bad. And I
also don't like Mario Kart. But that's an whole.

Speaker 7 (30:47):
Well, that's not a game that's ever come out. No
game is called Mario Kart. So it's Mario Kart World.
You normally he's also Mario Kart World. Drifty normally like
Mario Kart and this one just isn't doing it for you?
Or are you generally not a big Mario Kart fan?

Speaker 2 (30:59):
No?

Speaker 6 (30:59):
I enjoy it. I celebrate the whole franchise, for sure. Uh,
there's I don't know. This one is just not landing
with me. I think, you know. I was listening to
the Next Lander podcast and what Alex said about the
tracks all sort of like blending into each other. I
think I'm on board with that. There's a way around
not enough separation.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
We've hacked it. We figured about you hacked it.

Speaker 7 (31:20):
So instead of like if you're doing like an online
Grand Prix, you know, four races, five races, whatever it,
maybe you gotta press the plus button during the like
when everyone's voting on the map, everyone has to press
the plus button, and you can pick a map, pick
a track that is not connected to the previous one,
and then you will just do three laps like one
on the option.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
You can like you could pick that track and then
you can connect it to another one, or you just
pick that track again and it'll do all three laps
on that track.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Okay, Yeah, I mean and so you don't know the
in between stuff.

Speaker 6 (31:50):
Yeah, I think that's on the the that's lower down
the list on my grievances. I don't know, I'm not
just I'm just not having as much fun with it
as I did with eight when it first came out out.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
I just think I think it's a bit too chaotic,
and that's my like small criticism that for me, would
like put it out of seven out of ten, set
of a D eight out of ten.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
I so love how chaotic is me too?

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Me too.

Speaker 5 (32:11):
There's times where it can like it can be really good,
and then I think the bulk of the time, for me,
it's like, oh yeah, just random chaos again.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
To me, it's just it's Fury Road.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
It is like the most Mario card has ever felt
like that, and I love it so much.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
I feel appreciate that they make it so when you
get hit by some objects you sort of just roll
into the hit ye keep a lot of your momentum.
That does make it feel more like Fury Road, which
is like I don't know why that doesn't actually happen
in Fiery Road, but it feels like something that would
if it was a cart racer, would.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Would it just like a shy guy that is the
Doue warrior or would it be like a walla ouigi
that's the warrior.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Now too powerful?

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Right?

Speaker 7 (32:46):
I think shy guy is a good call for that, yeah, or.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Maybe cow oh.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
I also think like the driving around in the free
roam fucking pointless.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
Yeah, it's a thing to do in between the races anymore,
though it should be it should.

Speaker 6 (33:02):
Be more, It should be more. You know, Dan's gonna
run defense for this fucking game. That's just not amazing.
But I think I just wanted to.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Sell well, I don't know, buddy, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
I really Jerry still out on that, but yeah, you know,
it's just uh, it's just okay. It's it's a week
launch title with.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
It every time I play it, like launch title a
salute killer rapp Like it's weak.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
It's super weak. Uh, Donkey Kong would have been a
better launch was gonna kick ass.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
But they call Mario Kart World a week launch title.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
It's not a good pantry solon Damn, it's not as bad. Hey,
look what I bought because of Because you guys are
having so much fun with your fucking cameras. I got
one of these.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
Now believe that we won this battle because you were
bringing anti camera early on.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
I was and did like I fucking would like see
you like drive past me well talking it every time.
It was so buy.

Speaker 5 (34:00):
It's a good feature. Okay, that's okay. Are we doing
with Mario Krek. We talk about the switch too broadly. Sure, Yeah,
of course all of it's like hidden features are awesome.
I think the grap is cool, but like, yes, the
camera stuff awesome, game chat overall awesome, game share awesome,
GameCube awesome, just everything sort of like below the surface

(34:22):
of the system really is what the e shop super responsive,
having a recommendation engine, which isn't like great, but it's
better than nothing that they had before. It's like there's
a bunch of really small things that make the switch.

Speaker 6 (34:33):
To really pop for me.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
Overall, it's you know, I wish Donkey Kong was here,
but it's not that far off. And then it's like, Okay,
I'm already enjoying using the system in every other way,
so pretty impressed by it. Feel it feels like a
system that Nintendo did spend years thinking about and getting
everything right.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
The backwards compatibility does rule and jennef everything just runs better. Yeah, Jan,
I don't want to do the transition for you because
I don't be able to. But there's a game I
want to talk about back with compatibility. Maybe you could
help me switch to game.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Greg you're done talking about the switch to as a whole.

Speaker 6 (35:10):
Yeah, yeah, we have.

Speaker 7 (35:12):
It's crazy that that game share works in a regular
switch Yeah, I didn't realize that was the case.

Speaker 6 (35:17):
That's it does work.

Speaker 7 (35:18):
So I can share of switch to exclusive game with
people on like a switch light.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
But the game share has to be something that the
game supports. It's not any game, but it's built into
the games.

Speaker 7 (35:28):
Okay, you get Mario three D World on Mario Kart
World has game share, right, I don't know. I'm not
sure if they switch exclusive games will work on switch
one talking about it?

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait, Yeah, you're saying that a
switch to game share could play Mario Kart World.

Speaker 7 (35:46):
I'll look it up.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
But well, it sounds like we're painting with broad strokes here,
just like Mikey and I have been painting in Splittoon three.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
There you go, they get back.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
You call it paint and they I mean Splaittoon fans.
You have to call it ink or I'll still yell
at you. I've discovered any times.

Speaker 6 (36:00):
Oh, is that because of the octopus or squid situation?

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (36:04):
Situation? Yeah, you know, you know, yeah, they're kind of
crazy about that.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
There's a weapon that is literally a brush.

Speaker 6 (36:12):
They still yell at me.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Think brush, all right, we're just gonna call it squidges.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
I think they don't prefer that from the sound of it.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah, I guess no one can yell at us. Now.
This has been what I've been playing mostly on my
switch to Actually, yeah, Jane, im are you doing multiplayer mode?
That single player stuff?

Speaker 1 (36:31):
I have not explored the single players tough. I've just
been doing the multiplayer mode, and I can't help but
feel that my enjoyment of Splittoon three multiplayer would be increased.
Uh A if I was better at the game. B
if people also stopped playing the game when I stopped
playing the game and didn't increase their skill levels. Wallet,

(36:52):
I'll playing it and see if we had the stupid
Nintendo camera so I could.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
See everyone's baby on the game? Is that an three?

Speaker 1 (37:02):
It's not? It should be okay?

Speaker 4 (37:06):
I download that.

Speaker 7 (37:07):
I want to try the single player after hearing people
talk about that.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
That's my pitch for you, Jan because you know where
there aren't any mean you know what people are about
your vegans. They don't have a life, right, you know
where there's not any no life, Try hard squidgeszers in
the single play what's happenings.

Speaker 7 (37:25):
Are you doing the rogue light?

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Uh so I'm not even doing that yet because I
have to pay for that.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
Why do you always create a new character, Like I
just think how amazing if just like completely unaware Nintenda
just goes to market. They're just like, yeah, it's called Squidger,
that's what it's called. That's what it's called.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
I get it. Start the whole squidges thing.

Speaker 6 (37:46):
I'm not to remember squidgezzers.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
You know.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
It's just like and or right he did, and Hans
Solo didn't start the rebellion.

Speaker 6 (37:55):
Mike carries with him.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yes, right man, they're like the Han Solo to my
end or I'm fine.

Speaker 6 (38:03):
With it, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Yeah. I know these games always have good solo campaigns.
I enjoy them for some reason. With three, I barely
touched it that much. And here, you know, just having
some of these graphical improvements and whatnot, it's a good
excuse to go back in there. The campaign is actually
so freaking good. It's a ton of fun. It's almost
something like Mario three D Platform or Escapop. All these

(38:26):
levels kind of have something a little bit different about them,
some fun gimmick. Like there's one where you can do
nothing but use that curling sliding thing. It's just basically
all these kind of short puzzles of how to like
best use that to unlock a door and move on
to the next thing. You have these boss fights that
are just really creative even just like the way it

(38:48):
works with you know, it's like it's like a whirl
map and you have these each different sections and you
kind have to unlock different levels by shooting the stuff
and spending points. It's just really well done. It's just
really fun. I think everybody both somehow knows that's Patoon
games actually have great single player content, and yet it's
still sort of underrated to me.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Yeah, I'm gonna play it. I'm curious to check out
the roguelike mode. I gotta that's a separate DLC, right.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah, so you have to pay for that, but I
kind of want to try that after I beat this.
I've heard very good things about that as well.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
If people are asking in chat, does it have backwards
mouse support, I I don't think about.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
I don't think so it's not. Remember, this one was
just like a free update, and the free update is great.
The biggest thing I noticed with the free update was
before whenever you were in like the town hub, that
ran out a much lower frame rates than the rest
of the game, and it's kind of like jarring And
now that just is perfectly smooth too.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
You do a motion, Mike, Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Turned that on because yeah, that works. Yeah, especially in
this game, Like I don't like it in some other things,
Like I think I turned it off in Metroit Primary
Mastered maybe, or I think I had it a rock
right when I was playing that the remastered version. But yeah,
that that stuff feels really good in this.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
What what weapon do you roll with?

Speaker 7 (40:07):
Mike?

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Well, so in this mode, like a lot of times
like you have to use the specific weapon right in levels. Yeah, yeah,
but it's funny because I'm kind of en norm me anyways.
I do just want to use the you know, the
normal super Silker squirt gun thing a lot of the time,
the Tommy gun one a lot that, the the double
pistols where you can like Dodger roll that's pretty that's

(40:31):
pretty fun. Uh. I really enjoy the big fat roller
that's like, yeah, yeah, school, that's I think I like
that more than the paintbrush that they add. In terms
of the more short range weapons. I really want to
play more Platoon with with y'all, and I kind of
want to try and decimate another video game website.

Speaker 7 (40:51):
We should do that, didn't we do that way because
we did it with Next Lander when three came out.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
That's right, that one of the earlier streams, like dis
I remember they made like somebody made art of us
as like the squid icons, and I was very excited
about Oh really, yeah, I think Jeff contact photo my
phone is still his like squid icon from well that's
raight yeah back when.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Yeah, it turns out Splatoon has always been a good game,
and I'm happy for the splatooners out there for getting
a new injection of squid kids just blasting their squidges
all over the place.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Speaking about Switch one Games that.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
I didn't know that this had an update, but Paper
Mario the thousand Year Door, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (41:37):
If it doesn't.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
I'm just using the switch to as a reason to
kind of finish it off.

Speaker 6 (41:43):
And I'm on a roll.

Speaker 5 (41:44):
I got the eighth Star, which I think is the
last one, and that's kind of where I left off,
So I think I'm on the home stretch of getting
getting through the end of that game.

Speaker 6 (41:54):
And you know what it was.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
One of the reasons I fell off is you know,
each of these chapters, they are vignettes. They are self
contained a kind of and every time you start a
new one, you're like, what can't be as good as
the last one? Kind of a bummer that I'm done
with that because I wanted to keep doing that fun
stuff and now I got to go do this, and
then every time it's just as fun or sometimes even better.

(42:16):
The train was fantastic, and they did a good job
with the paccene of like getting you into the village
or going into the train station to solve some puzzles
and then getting back on the train. There was a
section there late in the game where you have to
sort of go you have to chase someone from zone
to zone, and then I'm like, oh, luckily right away
I discovered or refound because I'm sure I saw it

(42:37):
before the fast travel things, so that made that easy. Overall,
it's like, yeah, this game is as good as people
said it is. I'm glad I'm seeing it through because
it just continues to be fantastic through the end of
the game, and it's like, oh yeah, I could still
play Switch one games on here, even if they haven't
been updated. It looks great on that screen. It sounds
great on those speakers, which I think is another under

(42:57):
sold part of the switch to which it sounds really good.

Speaker 7 (43:00):
I heard that those speakers are they come out of
the console at a diagonal angle. And I got that
quiz question correct and intend to switch.

Speaker 5 (43:07):
Welcome to her. Congratulations.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Yeah. I wonder if you really could do much of
a performance update thing, because the whole it was a
bit of contention that this game is thirty francs per
second instead of sixty. Yeah, but I don't know if
you just make a patch and have it run at
sixty with a big timing based RPG like I mean.

Speaker 5 (43:25):
There's ways to find out if people have ever done
that when the game has been emulated.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
But yeah, I don't know. If it like breaks things
and it needs a lot more work than just that,
it would be cool. It'd be awesome, but it's also fine. Yep.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
Also, god like another mount Rush, Mount rushmore of like
good gimmicks for boss fights and RPGs quizzes.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
Yeah, game shows there, right, Okay.

Speaker 5 (43:47):
Yes, exactly, Yes, that's what I mean, Like a game
show quiz and the boss is like, he's talking tough,
He's gonna.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
Beat your ass.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
He is like, I am look at me, I'm so
big and tough. And then the lights pop on. Yeah,
and it's all glitching and.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
Goomba's in there.

Speaker 6 (44:00):
Yeah, just top to your gimmick. Give it, give me that.

Speaker 7 (44:03):
In every game, you know, a supremely underappreciated Kong is
Swanky Kong. Yeah, Like the name is incredible. He's a
game show hosting Kong with the glittery jacket. He needs
to being Bonanza. I will mark the fuck out of Swanky.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Really likes game shows because they have that, and then
the whole like grn Tilda game show fake out at
the end.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Of for my fellow dropout freaks out there, I feel
like there's a world where Dan Reichert is just and
Sam Rerice are the same person.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
That's that's gonna land on a couple of folks such.

Speaker 6 (44:35):
An insult to Sam. Oh my god, No, that's.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Like a big that's a big boot and dance favor
because he's such like a showman.

Speaker 6 (44:42):
I guess it's depending on how you look at you
would I like dropout, what's the deal with it?

Speaker 4 (44:48):
I don't know how people watch.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
It it streaming service subscription also, oh only subscription. Yeah,
they have like a couple of apps on YouTube.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
Okay, okay, be paying subscriptions.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Of course, I mean we none of us can, right, So.

Speaker 4 (45:04):
Why I never played Moms can't do that. You just
buy a thing and then you have it.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Like none of us are paying for subscriptions, right, like
we're we're all good, right, Okay.

Speaker 6 (45:11):
That's that's a crazy thing to do.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Yeah, don't do that. Cool cool, cool cool cool? All right.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Moving down the list.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
Giant bum dot Com, slash Joint subscribe.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
It's the only streaming service out there.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Going from that three peet of uh switch two games
to another trilogy? Uh, gex trilogy.

Speaker 5 (45:36):
Yeah, I started playing gext trilogy. I got the code
on Friday. It's it's out now, right, did h everyone?

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Ges Dan? I was good.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
I have a code for you. If you need it,
let me.

Speaker 4 (45:45):
I would need I need it.

Speaker 7 (45:46):
I needed.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
On Switch.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
It's on Steam.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
I've a Steam Steam I want That's That's what I
was asking.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
Either way, Okay, so I've been playing it. I started
with gext one because I never played much gas. I
must have rented it I like, generally remember the vibe
and the jokes, uh, And.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
I guess you can call them jokes.

Speaker 5 (46:08):
And I like the whole gimmick of like collecting TV
remotes and unlocking levels, but I don't. I just don't
remember actually playing it all that much. And GEX is
you know, it's okay?

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Maybe no.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
So that's what I was gonna ask, because my mom
didn't let me buy GEX as a kid because she
thought it was too raunchy.

Speaker 5 (46:26):
That's just because Dana Gould talks in a voice like
you think the jokes are gonna be way raunchier than
they are. He delivers everything like he's about to tell
you like a dirty joke.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
Is there a Lewsky joke in it?

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Yeah? They hurry yet, but I'm sure it is the
second one or the third one where there's like they
get some model to be like, yeah, his girlfriend, it's right,
and the conversation is always just like GEX sexually harassing
her and her going, oh GEX.

Speaker 5 (46:52):
I it's I played a little bit of the second one,
which is the first three D one, and that one
that one's like has a little bit more going on.

Speaker 6 (47:00):
But these these were never great games.

Speaker 5 (47:02):
I and I almost don't know if I fully understand
where the gets uh like meme comes from. I guess
it must have been one that everyone rented or everyone played.
So it's a cultural touchdown that people can go back.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
It's just such a thing.

Speaker 7 (47:15):
It's just an iguana with sunglasses and a platformer. It
is just like early three D early PlayStations. I never
even really played them much, and that's why I really want.
I want to get them my switch to And somehow
like that was during my era of like I'm an
adult now I can't play a platform or I played
metal your solid and think about philosophy, So like I
need to go back now that I'm younger and stupider

(47:36):
than I was back then.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Somehow it sounds like you idiots didn't have a three
D oh because I know it's weird. No, I was
playing gags one at that time. It really was just
like I.

Speaker 6 (47:46):
Didn't I didn't know that, Mike, Yeah, it's embarrassing. I know,
I don't think it's embarrassing. How did how did that
come to be? I just got it after that.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
Yeah, my mom more to Chili.

Speaker 6 (47:56):
I want to condo. No, it's not I don't think
you want a contest. I think you won the socioeconomic lottery.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Yeah. Three three D is not like CD I three D.
It's a good game. One was pretty fun. It was
very it looked very pretty back then for a two
D game.

Speaker 5 (48:15):
My question is we just make him play three DEO games?
No Iris pretty good?

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Well three D O the publisher. I really like war
Jets for the PS two.

Speaker 6 (48:27):
Armyman games, Portal Runner maybe yeah, there you go. So Mike,
did you did you and your brothers like ask for it?
Or was it was your dad just like, hey, it's Thursday.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
You got no, I'm sure like we were magazines was
talking about it or something and we're like, dad, Dad,
we need a three D O or will die? You
know that?

Speaker 6 (48:49):
Brady kids, dude, just like well, Ken have dead children that'll.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Look poorly for my practice.

Speaker 6 (48:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Played a lot of Mad Dog McCree on there man
that see like on game. Oh and the weird Jurassic
Park game for that, which was like a lot of
live action vignettes not with the original actors. And then
weird video games based off of Artcade classics like Space Invaders. Oh,
it was weird. I just remember.

Speaker 6 (49:17):
I just remember that. My only interaction with three DO
was like going to you know, an electronicstre and seeing
it sort of encased in plastic and add a demo Kiosk,
and even then it was just like I don't want this,
you know.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
I did find I found my three D O. I
gotta see if I can like get that thing going still,
because come on, a three D O stream would be
pretty cool. Yeah, that would be neat, Yeah, I would.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
I would like that a lot, getting like Slayer, that
first person Dungeons and Dragons games actually legit good. There's
some good games on three D road Raster.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Three D is the first Need for Speed, the first
game in the Need for three franchise, the Need for Speed,
and it originally came out in the three D Oh.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Okay, maybe we do need to do three D O shoa.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Uh do you have a three D O now? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (50:04):
I might?

Speaker 5 (50:05):
Okay, well you have a mister right, and I think
that has a three D O.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
We have a three D like ten.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
I thought the same in list you're doing on original hardwak.

Speaker 5 (50:13):
Well, listen, that's still a rule for black Club. I
do have a game in mind for him eventually, eventually,
what is it? He's gone he's gonna maybe go get
his three d Oh?

Speaker 2 (50:21):
What is it?

Speaker 6 (50:21):
Quick?

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Quick?

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Isn't it for audio listeners?

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Hell?

Speaker 6 (50:25):
He'll here.

Speaker 5 (50:26):
I don't, I don't know, but it's it's it's okay,
it's that cyber Dillo game.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Is going there? It is? Is this a three d Oh? Yeah?
I love the way he looks.

Speaker 6 (50:34):
Is this I don't know. Doesn't it say three d
Oh on it?

Speaker 7 (50:38):
Panasonic Real three d Oh Interactive Multiplayer? Yeah, it's a
three d oh?

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Is that so?

Speaker 6 (50:43):
Did Panasonic also have like other items that had building.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
The whole point of the three d Oh was that
they licensed it so anybody can make a three d Oh.

Speaker 5 (50:53):
It was like a reference card, like you know, ind
he makes the GPU, but then ev g A really
made it that sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Yeah, huh, but that's the three d There was maybe
like one other one at.

Speaker 5 (51:02):
Somewise in Japan. Yeah, there was another company, discs CDs. Yeah,
it was a c stuff.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
Panasonic also made another console, the GameCube, made the CUE.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
They have one of those the Nintendo Museum.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Yeah. I love that thing. I always wanted it so bad.

Speaker 6 (51:19):
It looks so then you have that, but you've never
like used it.

Speaker 7 (51:22):
Obviously power cable is probably taped up when I got it.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
I don't know if there's a rattle.

Speaker 6 (51:28):
So you have it just for like posterity.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
Or I like displaying consoles and stuff.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
It's a good console. It's it's heavy.

Speaker 7 (51:36):
It looks like a.

Speaker 6 (51:38):
Train station kill.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah, you might need a helping hand to lift that
bad boy, just like you can use a helping hand
to lift up your fellow climber in Peak.

Speaker 6 (51:48):
Oh god, was awesome.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
We played this yesterday on the website. If you miss
the stream, I highly suggest you go check it out.
Peak dropped out of nowhere. It seems like, yeah.

Speaker 7 (51:58):
I thought they might have done a couple He'ser trailers
like earlier this week, but I think it was as
close to a shadow drop as you get. Really. I
just got an email about it, and I just saw
an image of it and it said it's a physics
based multiplayer climbing game, and it was like that all
sounds fun. Let's stream it right now, And we did.
We played four place start.

Speaker 5 (52:15):
The prox audio, which is like, oh, okay, had we
known that, we definitely would have played this game.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
So I'm glad we discovered.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
That yelling across canyons.

Speaker 7 (52:22):
You know, there's times where it's like I would go
up like the right side of this mountain and I'd
be like, oh shit, I lost those guys. And I
turned out to see the tiniest little guys way far away,
and I'll like, hey, guys.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Look up here.

Speaker 7 (52:32):
I'm here and let's mate it. Though it's just the
prox thing is incredible. It does the thing that like
Repo does where the mouth is moving as as you're talking,
and they're very just it looks like they have oranges
for heads. Just really goofy human fall flat kind of
gumby characters. You know, great look to it. Great mechanic
of like if I climb up a thing first, like

(52:52):
Jan can crouch down and Grub can jump on his
head and Jan can like spraying him up up to
help him get up there. And then before a stamina
runs out, I can hold the lt to like help
pull it out with my hand.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
And all that stuff is super necessary because like one
of us might have a backpack and that severely hampers
the amount of stamina you have because you have extra
weight on you. So it's like I was carrying the
backpack and so I needed someone to help me up
at every sort of term because I didn't have I
had like just enough stamina to get there, but not
get up over the ledge, and so I'd be like
Jan or Dan here.

Speaker 6 (53:21):
Grab me and pull me up.

Speaker 5 (53:23):
It all worked like surprisingly well, Like I thought that
the hand grabbing mechanic was gonna be a little bit
yanky based on like early experiments with it, and then
we did. It's like, oh no, it has a lot
of period to it.

Speaker 6 (53:33):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of generosity.

Speaker 5 (53:34):
Yeah, a lot of generosity exactly. And then sort of
figuring out how to navigate the spaces became the game,
and we didn't quite solve that reddle well.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
I mean we successfully eventually climbed the first mountain. I
hoasted some s'mores, only to turn around and now there's
a gigantic vertical forest in front of us.

Speaker 7 (53:55):
Right, Yeah, we thought we beat it because it says
like every twenty four hours it's like a new climb basically,
which is.

Speaker 5 (54:00):
They procedure generate a new mountain every twenty four hours
for everybody.

Speaker 6 (54:04):
So I think I love that idea.

Speaker 7 (54:05):
By the way, Yeah, and I assumed, you know, it's
five dollar game it's, you know, generating a new mountain
every day. That's probably what the game is. And we
get up there and I got like a fairy lantern
and then like a new viney, like a whole new
biome basically opens up for us to climb. It's like,
oh shit, there's more to this than I thought. So
that looked way harder that next area.

Speaker 6 (54:21):
I was watching people stream at last night and no,
and everyone seemed to be stuck on thorny vine island.

Speaker 5 (54:29):
Like that's going to require I think, real teamwork and
really thinking together about every move.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
But yeah, I really enjoyed it. I like, out of
all of the prox chat games.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
With funky looking dudes, I think this is my favorite
design of funky looking dudes.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
It reminds me of God. It's not like I don't
know why. It reminds me of lollipops or like old
school cartoons like Garbage.

Speaker 5 (54:53):
Pail Kids, Crazy Little Little Yeah, I see it. Repo
is still my favorite in terms of just like visual
comedy of the characters, but this one's right there.

Speaker 7 (55:02):
I will say that we watched some of those SGF
trailers that we didn't see originally, and the Big Walk
trailer looks incredible.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
Big Walk is the one we should like commit to
couple streams of because I mean, I think it looks fantastic.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
There's a lot of puzzles in there. Yeah, Big Walk week,
a Big Block week, Yeah I can week.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Yeah, there we go, there we go, all right.

Speaker 5 (55:22):
Big Walk, a short hike. Yeah, we can do a.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Bunch of games.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
Yeah, I knew it on a treadmill death Stranding, you know,
that's one. That's an easy one.

Speaker 7 (55:29):
Which, by the way, that's why I haven't really played
much this week is because I'm really I'm pasted where
I was in Japan, and I think I'm like near
the back part of this game.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
But I'm tired of your excuses.

Speaker 7 (55:38):
Actually, yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
Think next week I can talk.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Well, it comes out the twenty.

Speaker 7 (55:41):
Fifth, Yeah, yeah you should, you should. I think I
can talk about it next week. So I got a
lot to say about that game. Probably know you've been
playing too, right.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
I have also embarked on this journey. Okay, I will
hold my tongue until next week when I can speak
about it. Yes, I don't believe any of us got
the chance to check out FBC Firebreak, but we will
beat that out on Friday for upf I believe that's right.
That about does it.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
For video game talk, unless anyone else has anything else.

Speaker 5 (56:09):
Just my kid's been playing a lot more Minecraft. I
guess I could have brought this up during the switch
to thing. They have moved from Survival over into Creative,
so they could just spawn everything. And there's these egg
things where you can like spawn creatures, and so they've
spawned like ten thousand cats and seventy thousand creepers, and
it was causing the switch to like run it two

(56:32):
frames a second if that, and she's like, this is hey,
I can't play this. And I tried to explain ren
during and frame rates to her and she said, shut
the fuck up, Dad, just make it better. And so
I got it running on the switch to and handed
to her and the game is running just fine on that,
so like it's like I said, like significant like processing improvement.

(56:52):
But now she needs my switch to to play her
stupid Minecraft thing. So I've already sort of lost that,
and that's oh that's been a problem.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
Yeah, Ah, Nintendo, please make a Xeno Blade Chronicles three
patch or upgrade. I really I know already beat it.
I just want to play it again. I just want
to play the fucking flute with my friends that.

Speaker 5 (57:09):
Are gonna die to that's a newer game.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Yeah, I wondered. There's gonna be like a day where
it's like all flour zeno plates. I've gotten improvement patches
or switch to versions or something. I don't know. Yeah,
a big one. I'm shocked X doesn't. That was such
a late switch one game.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
All right, gang, That about does it for video games.
We're gonna take a quick brick break and we will
be back with the news right after this. This is Je.

Speaker 7 (57:42):
Well wait, we got him coming in with the news,
but I'm gonna come in with the weather and I'm
predicting a very severe fuddy duddy storm coming in in
the next week or so based on our conversation and
the break.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Oh my god. I didn't even say anything. And then
you too provoked me. I did a bit.

Speaker 7 (57:59):
I want to ask for next week.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
Some cool things were said and you were silent, and
we knew what that meant, all right, and then you.

Speaker 4 (58:07):
Went into full funny uddy mode.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
He wants this, He was kept playing his game. Wasn't
the visive enough? He doesn't want all of us to
like it. He wants me to hate it. I'm literally
falling into his trap. I'm helping you.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
You have played it, you haven't played it.

Speaker 5 (58:20):
That the story and I didn't include uh, I didn't
include that. Wood Kid was like, yeah, he like tried
to make the game shittier so that people wouldn't like
it as much.

Speaker 6 (58:29):
He's like he came to me.

Speaker 5 (58:30):
He's like people at the test are just too good,
which is my feeling.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
I want. I would want to know mister Dan Riker
down for anything, always good for a goof. When I
found out he was interviewing wood Kid, I was begging
him to tell him that I, Mike Manatty liked his
song from that Assassin's Creed Revelations trailer. But he couldn't
do it because Cogi much said to know, and.

Speaker 5 (58:55):
Seriously, I'm an interviewer here. I'm yeah, a journalist, a journalist. Yeah,
you can check that interview in the SGF blog out now.

Speaker 6 (59:03):
All right, news this just happened.

Speaker 5 (59:05):
Microsoft and AMD have entered a new multi year partnership
for first party Xbox hardware with full support for your
existing console games in your living room and in your hands.
So basically, AMD, who has been providing chips for Xboxes
for a while now.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Will continue to do so.

Speaker 5 (59:20):
This is maybe only interesting because there was rumors and
leaks from the FTC documents when they were when they
f toc wassuing Microsoft to try to stop the acquisition
of Activision. There was some word in there that Microsoft
was looking at a bunch of different new partners, including
maybe like Nvidia and some others that provide ARM chips

(59:42):
and be like, oh, the new Xbox could.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
Run on ARM.

Speaker 6 (59:45):
Well, that's not gonna be the case.

Speaker 5 (59:46):
It's going to continue to be the kinds of computer
chips that are in your PC made by AMD, so
they'll have full backward compatibility. And I guess maybe the
other side of this is they are going to keep
making Xboxes at least based on this news. That's also
doesn't surprise me any Is anyone like shocked that this
is a company that's going to stay in the hardware game.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
I'm not. I'm not shocked, but I guess I do
just wonder what this looks like, because you know, the
Xbox series X and S was a very clear successor
to the Xbox One, like right, very similar in a
lot of ways it's more powerful, and that didn't really
work out for them. But what else can you do here?
How do they differ? Especially when you know, going into

(01:00:28):
it there's basically no promise of exclusives anymore, maybe a
couple maybe timed exclusives game passes being de emphasized. So
what's the selling point here now?

Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
Yeah, well, we were hearing a selling point could potentially
be like, hey, we're gonna let you install Steam and
Epic Game Store on your Xbox that this I guess
this is not impossible, right, because again, it's gonna be
PC hardware in there, and maybe the Xbox can have
a translation layer. I suppose that wouldn't be too difficult
to make those stores just run on there, if that's

(01:01:01):
what Xbox still wants to do. But I don't know,
this sounds a little bit different than that. This does
just sound like they're going to make another one of
these consoles, as you say, Mike, that have not really
been able to find their place without having the obvious
exclusives exclusives to point too. But they also did say
Sarah Bond a year plus ago that hey, they are
working on the next Xbox and it's going to be

(01:01:22):
the biggest graphical leap. Ever, I can't remember her exact words.
I mean, how do you do that without making a
very expensive Xbox when using the familiar AMD hardware.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:01:34):
I guess that could have just been talk.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
I think she was just saying things, and I'm not
saying things. Call her alive, but I just don't understand
how that could possibly be true.

Speaker 5 (01:01:42):
Yep, that's I think that's the honestly, the simplest answer
here is it was just words.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
It didn't really mean all that much.

Speaker 5 (01:01:50):
As far as like integrating the hardware and the software
and other stores that probably will continue to happen on
the PC side of things, the Xbox OS stuff that's
happening with the handeld, the Asus rog ally x Xbox.
Thing that seems to be one of the focuses for
Microsoft is, hey, let's make all of our stuff work

(01:02:11):
on these handhelds and include backward compatibility from the PC
from the Xbox to the PC, so the PC can
now play all these Xbox one games that never got ports.
And that's an interesting focus, but I think it also
just means, oh, the console is even less necessary than
ever before, and Microsoft's okay with that, but I guess

(01:02:31):
they're going to keep making them. A Nintendo director is
coming this week, focusing on Donkey Kong Bonanza. It's tomorrow morning,
nine am Eastern time, six am Pacific. I think they
said like around fifteen minutes or something like that. I'm
ready to see a lot more of this game. I'm
ready for the Donkey Kong hype to overtake me. What
are you guys expecting to see from this and should

(01:02:52):
we expect any other direct this summer.

Speaker 7 (01:02:54):
I want to see more of the Like when I
played it, I thought it was so cool that you
can basically just destroy the entire area, like you know,
there was I think there was like a hub, but
then we went into an island, and I want to
see more of those islands. You know, it seems like
it was like a bomb battlefield type thing. I want
to see more of those, and I want to see
how the destructibility can play into things other than just
like I can dig down, I can dig through. I

(01:03:16):
want to see like whole underground cave cities that you
can't that aren't evident from the beginning, things like that.

Speaker 5 (01:03:21):
Yep, I like I wanted to show like all that
goofing off and sandbox play will lead to larger discoveries.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
I'm with you right there on that. Yeah, I also
want to see some platforming, right Like, I know, like
digging around is the important part here, but I hope
that you can't circumvent kind of all of the platforming
through that. I hope there's still are maybe sections where
there's a lot of just floating geometry so you can't
really dig up to it or dig down to us.
You still have to do tricky jumps and things like that.
But there's there's also a part of me that's like,

(01:03:49):
I don't know if I want to see more of
this game. It's coming out soon anyways, I just want
to be surprised now.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you, Mike, Like,
after seeing what Dan and I saw in New York,
I don't know what else I need to be shown
other than I guess the general public seeing that this
is a game and.

Speaker 6 (01:04:05):
It's a month away.

Speaker 7 (01:04:06):
Yeah, yeah, exactly a month away. Yeah. I'm excited, though,
I do want to see more of it, just because
that is the next one on the horizon for sure.
It's like first party, Big Switch to releases.

Speaker 6 (01:04:16):
Well, I want to play something on my switch.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
You know what I'm really hoping for is that like, yeah,
Donkey Kong but Nanza coming soon. But today on NSO
Donkey Kong sixty four. They made such a big deal
about getting those Donkey Kong Land games on the Game
Boy NSO before Donkey Kong Country Returns came out, which
was this year. By the way, that's wild. Come on, yeah,

(01:04:37):
that's crazy.

Speaker 7 (01:04:38):
Yeah, it sucks that it's been long enough now to
where I also want to do a reappraisal of DK
sixty four again.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
I know I did this on this website. Yes, long enough.

Speaker 7 (01:04:49):
My takeaway was I don't want to play this so
much that I want to send this to in Arctica.
But there's like fan patches and stuff now where you
can like switch between the monkeys on a flying sign.
I think there's something in that game that we need
to unlock as gamers.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
I think I never really played that much of it.
I want to play through it when it comes on ns.

Speaker 7 (01:05:09):
You want one hundred percent? Do you want to promise
that you're gonna hundred percent? On Mega Man Monday Evening Gaming,
I will roll credits. How many okay, So if we
get five thousand people come to giant bomb dot com
slash join in the next month, will you one hundred
and one percent Donkey Kong sixty thousand new people?

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Absolute, we're gonna find five.

Speaker 6 (01:05:31):
We'll make it realistic.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
What do you mean, tell you're okay?

Speaker 6 (01:05:34):
What everybody?

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
No, you said five?

Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
It's all right, everyone, rally the friends.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
He'll do it. We have an internal goal I could
say if we if we some reason met that by
the end of July, the sure.

Speaker 7 (01:05:47):
Oh really, okay, folks, we have an internal goal that
could be done. I want to see him play all
of these six were very bad.

Speaker 5 (01:05:57):
Tell your friends, Oh yeah, we gotta ask our friend
and Donkey Kong sixty four enjoy your h bomber guy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Yes am, I am? I crazy for like, I don't know,
I'm like not that concerned. I'll play Donkey Kong sixty
four a lot, but one And what's the one?

Speaker 7 (01:06:12):
It's you have to get all these golden bananas. I
think it's just like it's a major COLLECTI on thing.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Yeah, and that's like that'll be annoying. There's a lot
of I have to play actual Donkey Kong at some
point the Ark game, right.

Speaker 4 (01:06:23):
I think briefly that's there. Yeah, that's a good time.

Speaker 7 (01:06:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
Does he have to be in a costume the whole time?

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
No, No, no.

Speaker 4 (01:06:31):
I think he just needs to play it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
What's what's Lanky Kong's deal?

Speaker 7 (01:06:35):
They don't talk about Lanky Kong. He doesn't come to
the family reunions anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:06:39):
Everyone averts their gaze when he shows up.

Speaker 7 (01:06:41):
Yeah, he took some turns. He spent a little too
much time on on message board.

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
January sixth, Yeah, yeah, there was. He was.

Speaker 5 (01:06:49):
He was back at Beaver Bother if you know what
I mean, Uh, that's DK sixty four level.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
That's Infamus.

Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
Just I want to see you do one hundred one
percent so that I could see you experience ever bother
that is, uh, that could be something very special. I
ever been a bothered before?

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
No, there it is.

Speaker 5 (01:07:05):
I'm sorry, Uh us away Actually, So wait, do we
think we're gonna get another direct this summer?

Speaker 6 (01:07:15):
I think we might.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Metroid may Yeah, we'll get them exactly Backler, We'll get
a Metroid direct also at some point giving us the
release date hopefully Metroid Prime two and three in some way.

Speaker 5 (01:07:26):
All right, Well, I hope that's right, because listen, we
don't need a big well I suppose to get like
a partner direct right that could pop off pop up
at any more.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
I don't know. There's like some people like, well, we
got to announce some more games for this year, and.

Speaker 5 (01:07:36):
I'm like, do that. We don't gotta. We definitely don't
have to. I think there's a possibility they could announce.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
One more, but they did do.

Speaker 5 (01:07:45):
Uh well, there was an update recently to something that
they announced that they talked about.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
Maybe that kind of I thought that they just announced
the game in a stweet, not.

Speaker 5 (01:07:53):
To in a Nintendo Today app update. Yeah, so yeah,
they definitely don't need more games.

Speaker 7 (01:07:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Maybe a Nindi's showcase again.

Speaker 5 (01:08:01):
Yeah, yeah, those happened like twice a year. I don't
know if we're due for it or not.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
It's up. Then.

Speaker 7 (01:08:06):
Can you just come to my house some weekend and
before the end of July and can we just do
a Jerry Lewis telethon just to raise subscribers. Some has
to do this.

Speaker 5 (01:08:16):
I would that you want to, like, I'll fly over also,
I'll go do it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:21):
By the end of July.

Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
This is due and the number too, because it's.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
A second when summer summer game fess keep doing the
summer games done quick. It's at the end of July.

Speaker 5 (01:08:34):
Yeah, so like we can just go there and like
that week we could make it the home like the early.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
July this year, it's like July six earlier.

Speaker 5 (01:08:42):
Oh that's right, it's right after I get back from.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
My way to figure out if we want to do that,
because I kind of do.

Speaker 5 (01:08:48):
Uh, okay, okay, well listen, let's talk about it. Let's
talk about it all right. Uh they tend to switch
two sets all time record for hardware in the United States,
beating PS four. It's guys, it seems like it's a
set this recordobally as well definitely also set a record
in Japan. As people have pointed out, this is a
record of like manufacturing, of being able to get enough
switch ts out into the channel to have enough of

(01:09:10):
these to sell on day one through day four where
they where it's set this record. But yeah, I mean
the demand clearly is there for now. I do wonder
like what the long term demand for a switch too
is as families like look around but be like, well
we have a switch, do we need a switch to.
But you know, in this moment, it seems like the
combination of Mario Kart and just excitement for this thing.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Is helping plenty.

Speaker 5 (01:09:32):
They wanted to sell fifteen million switch ts and year
one seems like they're going to easily do that, maybe
even get to twenty million, which would make it a
better selling console than several big consoles we like talk
about frequently.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
What I went to Best Buy yesterday to get this camera.
The first thing I saw was this giant standee Is said,
we do not have any more switch ts. Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:09:54):
Yeah, but my best Spice set's sold out as well,
so there are occasional drops at like targets stuff like that.
So people are still getting more but switched to successful
so far. Sony kind of started talking about the PlayStation
six a little bit. Yeah, I means mostly to say
that they are not going to do cloud gaming instead
of a PlayStation six.

Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
It was more like, hey, chill, chill, we'll get there.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Oh that's there's always some journalists, something like mainstream journalists
or something that asks about this because they think that's
more of a thing than it is.

Speaker 5 (01:10:23):
This was an investor meeting, so but same exact kind
of person.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
It's always one of them. It's like, why just all
on the cloud AI metaverse.

Speaker 5 (01:10:31):
And the guy, the guy had to be like it
costs more to host a game in the cloud per
minute that a person plays, like don't you understand that?
And they're just like looking at him blinking yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
Because it does. Like it does feel like, how are
we already talking about this and yet it's gonna be
five years since this PlayStation five released.

Speaker 5 (01:10:50):
This far, we are far closer to the launch of
PS six than we already the launch of the PS.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
Five far sure, that makes sense. I don't like that.

Speaker 5 (01:10:57):
Twenty twenty eight was the year that was in again
another FTC leak doc for PlayStation specifically, that feels like
at the earliest to me, like late twenty twenty eight,
at the earliest I could easily see with PS five
pro barely even being tapped them justifying pushing this entire
generation into twenty thirty even.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
Okay, I got a sad question to ask, do you
think more people have played Fortnite than God of War
on the PS five?

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
Sure, yeah, oh yeah, without a doubt. Oh okay, its good, No, no, no,
I love Fortnite. Your boy got a dub last week
and it was great.

Speaker 6 (01:11:42):
Why is that a sad question?

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
Because Fortnite isn't a new game, right, and like God
of War is like a PlayStation joint. Yeah, so I'm like,
I mean, you know, great, I can play Fortnite anywhere though, sure.

Speaker 6 (01:11:55):
I mean it's like people who buy new computers just
to go on Facebook, remember, like, yeah, of course, right,
And that's a little sad. Yeah, from that perspective, is
a little sad, like you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
Don't need a new MacBook Pro to handle Google slide.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
Hey, you know what else that's pretty great on switch to?
So that was Fortnite. They're looking pretty nice. They know that.

Speaker 5 (01:12:16):
There's a lot of ads for Fortnite on switch To
specifically that have been the same.

Speaker 6 (01:12:20):
I mean, think about it. It should be uh, it
does not run well on Switch one. And that's noticeable
even to like the you know, the the people who
are at least discerning in that category. They can even tell.
So it's a thing that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
Overwatch big improvements and switch that game early.

Speaker 6 (01:12:37):
Yeah, I'll try it out.

Speaker 2 (01:12:39):
Yeah, I have Overwatch for Switch.

Speaker 6 (01:12:41):
I bet it runs.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
Better Apex is on Switch right, I don't know if
it's still supported on They tried that and no one played.

Speaker 5 (01:12:48):
Yeah, no one spent any money on that. I remember
hearing that, all right. Uh yeah, So they're talking about
basically just saying, oh, yeah, we're going to make another PlayStation.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
And it's going to be with a m D.

Speaker 5 (01:12:58):
It's going to be exactly what people have been always
expecting from a PlayStation. So I don't take that to heart.
They also said they will continue to do cloud game
and stuff, but they are convinced that having local you know,
execution of the games is how they put it, is
still the future.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
Game's my question. That Heretic game from Naughty Dog, is
that a PlayStation five or a PlayStation six game. I
mean it's.

Speaker 6 (01:13:19):
Probably intergalactic the Heretic Prophecy.

Speaker 7 (01:13:21):
Yeah yeah, it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
Sounds like a Doom clone from the nineties.

Speaker 5 (01:13:30):
Yeah, I don't know, it sounds like like the Heretic
Prophecy sounds like a weird drug in a like a Diosex.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
Game or something like that.

Speaker 5 (01:13:39):
Yeah. Yeah, that one's probably like the last year of
the PlayStation five.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
I think, hey, you know, what's a good game. I
should have talked about this during games Cyberpunk is pretty good.
You played that on the switch too is running.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
Well, it's not bad, Fuddy duddy.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
I will try it one more time at some point
in my life.

Speaker 6 (01:14:05):
When was the last time you tried that?

Speaker 5 (01:14:07):
Liberty Launch did never play Phantom Liberty. He tried the
Bass game.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
I tried because the improvements were there, because there's a
bunch of improvements there, very different games, and it just
might not be from Mikey's all right. I think the
thing I keep pointing to is you walk into like
a second shop tattoo parlor and there's a neon light
that's like that says funk till.

Speaker 1 (01:14:26):
You die, Jimmy, jim I lived my life till I
buy that every day.

Speaker 6 (01:14:32):
It's uh so, it's too like R rated for you.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
It's rated, it sounds like, but try hard to try
hardy edged lordy a little bit. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:14:42):
It's like it's like if someone made a theme park
and there people exclusively they didn't like Mike Manadi, and
we're trying to make something to upset up right. It's like,
e the exact opposite of walking into Disneyland. Everything's there
to make me feel bad about myself and the world.
I was always like a cyberpug three out of five guy,

(01:15:04):
because I just thought the missions were kind of boring.
But I don't know, people have played it in other
ways and it looked interesting and that maybe I like
need a new character build or something like that, I'd
be willing to try it again.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
I sure to forgive that game quickly. That everyone was
so mad about Cyberpugget how they when they release it
like that? And then it's like, oh, forgiven, Yeah, they
wanted to like good it could it could have made better.

Speaker 6 (01:15:29):
It's I think it's okay to change your opinion over time.
No can change your opinions against that. But like, you know,
except if it's about Red des.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
We were all like, how dare they do this? And
and it's like.

Speaker 5 (01:15:42):
I think you know what happened, Mike is I think
everyone that felt they got effectively punished, right, they got
yeah hard enough. Everyone's like you learned your lesson, now
are you going to come back to do better? And
like we're going to do better, and like they got
delisted from from Sony PlayStation for six months and everyone's like, Okay,
we don't need to yell anymore.

Speaker 6 (01:15:59):
Sony handling Daddy's home. They were in time out, they
were in time I.

Speaker 7 (01:16:03):
Feel like with Mike it's like burritos or like a
reverse Popeye situation where it's like it was Spinach, where
it's like you give Mikey burrito instead of getting really strong,
he turns into super fuddy dead.

Speaker 2 (01:16:16):
Oh like one out of five people not liking Cyberpunk
is fine, right, No.

Speaker 4 (01:16:21):
You've been numerous fuddy uddies today White.

Speaker 2 (01:16:24):
House does they think? Which is? You know? I?

Speaker 5 (01:16:29):
I really it was very fun, like they like the
chance starts talking about like in Cyberpunk and your time
to sigh was two seconds left?

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
Yeah, really got me? No, but like, trust me, part
of that is actual security. I don't like not liking
things other people like like what am I missering? What
do I suck? The thing is that it's all about.

Speaker 5 (01:16:48):
Me, your arc for token. I don't still know how
to say that. But when we were watching the Marvel
Fighting game thing and you're like, okay, I actually do
think this game looks nice.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
Now that was fun to experience, But Jane, like, what
what are you enjoying about it? Like this time? What's
popping off for you?

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
I think I just haven't had like the proper time
to just sit down and digest cyberpunk. And it's normally
not my bag either. I kind of don't like all
this weird techno neon jazz, but I kind of dig
it is just being able to sit down or lay
down with it on my switch to. I never tried
it out on the steam deck, but it's pretty similar. Yeah,

(01:17:27):
it runs perfectly fine on on the switch to, and
then like investigating crimes and like, you know, I just
kind of stare at that neon sign that says, fuck
do you you die?

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:17:38):
I get it everyone.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
So yeah, I heard, like I hear the switch to
version is good? Is it like? It's not sixty francs
per second on switch to? Is it not?

Speaker 5 (01:17:45):
I think there's a high frame rates that's forty that
actually works really well.

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
That's pretty good. I'm kind of indignant that this seems
to be running better than Hitman is on switch to.

Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
Yeah, that's annoying. That's stupid that they should have a.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
Performance mode for Hitman on switch to.

Speaker 1 (01:17:59):
I hear yack, it runs really well.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
Yeah it does all right. Hey.

Speaker 5 (01:18:06):
Digital clips is hard at work, one of the hardest
work in studios.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
They have another.

Speaker 5 (01:18:10):
Collection here this time it's for the Arcade Golf series
Golden Tea Golf Week, for Golf Week, Here we Go
retro compilation. Digital Eclipse announced Golden t Arcade Classics, a
compilation of eight games from Incredible Technologies, including six Golden
Tea titles. It will be released on July seventeenth, which
is around the time we were thinking about Golf Week,

(01:18:32):
and physically it'll be released on October twenty fourth. The
collection features new practice in Mulligan modes. Atari's Mike Mica
stated the collection aims to bring the Golden Tea experience
home with modern enhancements. Digital Clips is also working on
Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection of course collections spelled with a K,
which will include over twenty versions of Mortal Kombats one

(01:18:53):
through four with modern enhancements and online play.

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
They gotta release like a trackball controller for this, right,
I hope so?

Speaker 5 (01:19:01):
But I mean I'm okay with like midickanio on the
analog stick, but I would love a track ball controller.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:19:06):
I was just thinking about the CDI controller for our
zett the other day. It's like, man, I want more
one game controllers?

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
Are is that so good?

Speaker 7 (01:19:12):
And love?

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (01:19:13):
Yep, golden golden see do you guys ever have a
golden Tierra. I was almost like, I like my PC
golf games and stuff like that.

Speaker 7 (01:19:21):
I played links on dos yeah I did too, Yeah,
and like Tiger was my big one.

Speaker 2 (01:19:28):
Yeah yeah, like early late Xbox, early three sixty Tiger
games were great. Otherwise it's mostly the Mario games and
then Neo Turf Masters of course, of course Geo Classic.

Speaker 7 (01:19:39):
I love hot Shots, It's weird. I played way more
hot Shots and Tiger than I have Mario Golf. I
just never really played the Mario Golf games. O.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
Mario's great, but because the best ones were handhelds when
you weren't well handholds.

Speaker 7 (01:19:49):
And then when I got the analog, that was the
first game I really dove into. Is that Mario Golf
and it is fantastic?

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
Yes, yep, uh, all right, let's see here.

Speaker 5 (01:19:57):
Arthur Morgan voice actor is also teasing something Red Dead related,
following previous John Marston voice actor tease. Voice actors who
Red Dead Redemption two are teasing upcoming news related to
the franchise. Rob Witthoff, who's John mars Marston excuse me,
announced exciting news during a live stream, and Roger Clark,
who is Arthur Morgan, replied yes to a fans question

(01:20:19):
about the news. I don't know, Like I think Red
Dead Redemption two getting ported to the switch to is
definitely something that people have mentioned recently.

Speaker 6 (01:20:29):
That's possible.

Speaker 5 (01:20:29):
The game came out in twenty eighteen, that seems like
it should be able to run on a switch to.

Speaker 1 (01:20:33):
Didn't they put Red Dead Redemption on the switch one?

Speaker 4 (01:20:38):
Was it cloud or was it fully?

Speaker 5 (01:20:40):
No, it was it was a shoot game. Red Dead
Redemption one was on there, and then Red Dead Redemption
two is not on the switch in any way.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
It can't be much more than that. It's not like
Red Dead Redemption three is happening still no for G six,
So yeah, like I can't imagine what else it would
possibly be. And they didn't do any deal see right now,
not to the extent of undad Nightmare, because they were
trying to make, you know, Red Dead Online happen and
it never really.

Speaker 5 (01:21:07):
So there's no definitive edition they could sort of like
piece together I can think of. Has there been a
native PS five Xbox Series X update.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
That's a good question. I don't really think so actually,
And one's great. Yeah PCs. Yeah, it's awesome on PC.

Speaker 5 (01:21:22):
So what I can see this being is a we're
gonna put it, We're gonna have a native version for
PS five and Xbox Series X and S, I guess,
and then well, so release it for switch to, which again,
it should be able to run on switch to.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
I think one cup the Red Dead one get a
switched to performance patch. I don't know. It doesn't need
one though.

Speaker 5 (01:21:40):
That's an Xbox three sixty game, right, Yeah, probably already
already running great on switch one.

Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
I didn't play it. Yeah, so apparently Red the two
is like three frintce per second on a PlayStation five,
So yeah, they should make a next gen version of that.

Speaker 5 (01:21:52):
There you go. That That's that's why was happening here.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
That's what even I was stretching it pretty hard.

Speaker 5 (01:21:58):
There next he did it, everybody, the greatest match trick
you've ever seen. Borderlands four actually won't be eighty dollars
after all, and people are seeming grateful that it's only
seventy dollars, So son of a bitch, yep. There of course,
are like more expensive versions of the game. So if
you want, if you you know, have been working that

(01:22:19):
extra job to afford afford Borderlands four. You can get
the you know, one hundred and twenty dollars version. I'm
sure that gets you early access or whatever. Actually it's
one hundred and thirty dollars Super Deluxe Edition and one
hundred and fifty dollars Collectors Edition.

Speaker 7 (01:22:31):
So yet is this he had a speaker, yea, he
said a lot of those.

Speaker 6 (01:22:38):
Borderlands for seventy dollars.

Speaker 5 (01:22:40):
Do you think there's a chance that they were going
to do eighty and they backed off because of the backlash?

Speaker 7 (01:22:46):
One?

Speaker 6 (01:22:48):
I think it probably did go that way.

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah. It's such a weird transition period we're
having here where it's like, all right, Outer Worlds two
that's eighty dollars, Borderlands four is seventy. It's just like
so hard seeing what is what with these things.

Speaker 5 (01:23:03):
And it's you know, at a certain point, it is
just like saying things because so much of the audience
are going to be people are like, well, I wasn't
gonna buy it at seventy. I'm not gonna buy it
at eighty. I am looking for a deal and I'm
waiting for this thing to be around fifty forty dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:23:20):
So it's like, I.

Speaker 5 (01:23:20):
Guess it's just telling them maybe you're gonna have to
wait a little bit longer, or you're gonna have to
settle for a slightly higher price than you would otherwise,
because these a lot of these games are not games
that people necessarily always rush out and get right away.

Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
Borderlines, for I guess.

Speaker 5 (01:23:33):
Will be one that sells well out of the gate,
but it also does well in sales because of this
very reason.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
So yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
Really interesting September for the release. Yeah, yeah, that I
have the release date.

Speaker 6 (01:23:44):
Yeah, September twelfth.

Speaker 1 (01:23:45):
I could see a bunch of folks waiting for the
holiday time, expecting like a sale to drop, just because
like that feels like a good holiday game to team
up with people and Borderlands.

Speaker 5 (01:23:56):
You know, maybe it's not you be soft fast to
go on sale, but I traditionally remember Borderlands being like here,
it is by that first holiday, you were going to
be able to get a good deal on it. All right,
A handful more stories here Mind's Eye Studios trying to
fix the game. Yeah, they say they feel bad about
all the glitches and the performance issues. It was like

(01:24:18):
causing me a lot of problems trying to stream it.
Other people are seeing a lot of stutters. We did
see a handful of glitches, including SEB spaghetti flying. The
game's not even worth really rescuing though, right, Like is
is it going to be worth all this effort?

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
I mean, like what else is? Yeah? But like what
else are these people going to do? Like hurry up
and try to make a new game and hope that one.

Speaker 5 (01:24:40):
Well, I do want to see the fate of don't
drunk drink dust man?

Speaker 7 (01:24:46):
Yeah, what's dust drug?

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
Yeah, don't drink it?

Speaker 7 (01:24:51):
Though there was something to save there, if there was
like a kernel le a like, oh if only this worked,
well then this is a great idea, but like there's
no idea there.

Speaker 2 (01:25:00):
The cyberpunk situation here, right, Yeah, that's.

Speaker 5 (01:25:02):
Definitely it's far from a cyberpunk. I mean there's the
user generated content platform that I have no idea. I
guess didn't Someone said Leo Vader messed around with that
a little bit, so yeah, of course.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Through anyway, what's the last time we checked in on
Red Fall? Because like that game got updates? Did they
like were they able to fix.

Speaker 5 (01:25:24):
If we don't get to our internal goal, we all
have to play through Red Fall.

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
I'll work really hard at that point. All right, let's
see here.

Speaker 5 (01:25:36):
Metal Gear Solid Delta multiplayer mode revealed. Uh fox Hunt,
fox Hunt is uh fox Hunt guys?

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
What to say?

Speaker 1 (01:25:48):
A little speaker, guys, A little.

Speaker 6 (01:25:50):
Little speaker, never heard anybody.

Speaker 5 (01:25:52):
Uh, yeah, it's not middle Gear Online, but it is, like,
you know, a successor to that. It's going to play
a little bit different. But it sounds like when I
hear fox Hunt and they talk about like hiding, playing
a hide and seek mode, sounds like prop Hunt.

Speaker 7 (01:26:04):
Yeah, yeah, that's what they're going for. I'm not curious
about it. Like I I tried a little bit of
middle Year Online back in the day with subsystems and
it had some ideas and stuff, but I'm not precious
about it. So I'm fine with a totally new approach
to the online thing. Just keep Snake Eater the way
it is, but the online stuff get funky with it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:26:21):
Yeah, that's where you should definitely be messing around and
trying new ideas. And then there's the ape Escape crossover
thing that's not going to be on Xbox because ap
Escape belongs to PlayStation. This wasn't a problem before because
usually these games wouldn't come out to Xbox at that time.
Now it is, so they have a solution. They're gonna
put Bomberman in the place of Ape Escape for that
stuff on Xbox, which I prefer. Actually, I love Escape.

(01:26:45):
Give me bomber Man.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
Wait a second, now, what did they do because Bulger
saw the three Subsistence did come out in the original
Xbox they.

Speaker 6 (01:26:50):
Probably just didn't have that mode.

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
I think they just didn't have that mode by Funky. Yeah. Yeah,
so it's a good thing where yeah, it's nice at
working on the here. Yeah, bomber Man are cool.

Speaker 7 (01:26:58):
Did Subsistence come out on Xbox? Yes, and there's substance
maybe substance with Snake Skateboarding. Did You're right Subsistence was
just PS two?

Speaker 2 (01:27:07):
Yeah? I think I was like, well they put substance.
Obviously they did Subsistence, but they didn't. Okay, well, then
there's your answer.

Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
Uh, that game is out not that like August right,
August twenty eighth for PlayStation five 'sport series and PC.
That'll be a nice Dead as summer game. I thought
you want to say something like sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
Mat because I did. And then you know what, Jeff
can well done because you read my body pleasure perfectly.
I did, and then I was like, I don't want
to say.

Speaker 5 (01:27:34):
That fair enough. Well we got to the bottom of that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
Say that wasn't like trust, it wasn't provocative, It just
wasn't a good point.

Speaker 7 (01:27:41):
It gets Oh, just discorded me what he was going
to say. That's crazy?

Speaker 2 (01:27:45):
Can you believe it? Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:27:47):
Pre Orders for the Xbox raj ally will be well
reportedly begin in August, with launch expected two months later.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
Out of controls.

Speaker 5 (01:27:56):
Yeah, I'm like, I think we called it like Roger
and now I'm just shortening that to raj.

Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
That is that the girl from Fraser?

Speaker 6 (01:28:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:28:09):
Right, yeah, this is who's Roger over it? Kind of
funny shout, wasn't it Daphne?

Speaker 6 (01:28:15):
There's daph Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
Daphne's the living a physical therapist for the love interest
of the producer at the radio station, his wife, whose
name is like oh uh not on the spots scrambled.
It's more of a cheers character. If I'm being Lilith
time there.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
Should I watch Fraser?

Speaker 5 (01:28:39):
Oh yeah, great, it's number one, sick on number one.
It's not number one, but it's Seinfeldt. It's not better,
but Is it better than Becker?

Speaker 6 (01:28:51):
Yes, everything's better than Becker. Jan it's the one thing
you've seen the completion, which is so weird, but okay,
it's fine.

Speaker 5 (01:28:59):
Actually, should watch What's the What's the Good? Yeah, that's
exactly right watching.

Speaker 2 (01:29:06):
Watching an episode because we brought it up. It'd be
like this ship is really good.

Speaker 6 (01:29:10):
Hot and clear, exclusively about menopause, exclusive to the TV
channel channel.

Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
The girl who plays that sad that so yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:29:21):
Never I've never met a Fraser truther like this who
is just like one number one, Like.

Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
I think Tim Terry might be God, that's so insane.
I think the same person.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
If I think if you ask people their favorite sitcom
is Fraser would be like one of the like.

Speaker 6 (01:29:40):
In our ten most popular rants, you would be on
the family think.

Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
Yeah, it would have not been the top five, probably
certainly would have been the top three. But it's mine.

Speaker 6 (01:29:51):
Okay, that's nice. It's for Mikey's.

Speaker 2 (01:29:53):
Yeah, I like a lot, Like I don't want to
say Stiphold wears thin. It doesn't. It's still very good,
but like, I don't know, there's something about Phrasers, you
know me, I need a little bit more sincerity. I
need to see that people actually love and care about
each other sometimes that I get. I love.

Speaker 7 (01:30:09):
What was the Seinfeld motto when they were making was like,
no hugging, no learning. Yeah, all right, yeah that's us too.

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
Yeah, And I respect that, and I do like that,
But I like he likes a little hugging.

Speaker 5 (01:30:20):
I just yeah, I just like although the fact that
Seinhold had on the language of a close talker and
all that stuff coming from their double dipper, that was them.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
You dipped the chip, you took a bite, you dipped
again again.

Speaker 5 (01:30:30):
Final Fantasy sixteen runs at seven to twenty P. We
got to burn the whole thing down, everybody, this is unacceptable.

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
Take your pitchforks out.

Speaker 5 (01:30:38):
It's gonna on Xbox Series X and Performance mode. It's
gonna be seven twenty p. The game looked soft in
Performance mode on PlayStation five. I guess this sounds to
me like they probably could have had it run at
a higher for resolution. But listen, just beggars can't be
choosers at.

Speaker 2 (01:30:53):
A certain point.

Speaker 5 (01:30:53):
If this is really how you're gonna play the game,
just deal with it. But also, like, yeah, I kind
of feel like Xbox Series X should be more powerful
than that. Should be able to run that game at
a higher frame rate. I'm most surprised that Microsoft, after
like five years in doesn't have their own sort of
a DLSS solution for the Xbox. I thought that they

(01:31:15):
would like get something like that running, and they just don't.
So all these games are just kind of relying that
on that stuff on other consoles and not having anything
to take advantage on the Xbox. Of sports, you could
suppose you could use FSR, but that's just not really.

Speaker 6 (01:31:30):
Breaking news.

Speaker 5 (01:31:31):
Reporter in the field, Mike Manaughty, we're going to go
to you.

Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
Marathon is delayed.

Speaker 5 (01:31:37):
Oh, Mike manatty were you're breaking up?

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
The storm's coming in Heavy?

Speaker 6 (01:31:42):
It's delayed to win Well.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
It's not coming out September twenty third anymore, and it
seems to not have a new release date.

Speaker 6 (01:31:52):
That's okay, so I guess it is and not a marathon.

Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
Yeah, you'll hear from us again fall when we made
when we could share the progress you're made alongside the
game's new release date. So later this fall, though, announce
a new release date. Doesn't seem like this year. I
get suppose it still could be.

Speaker 5 (01:32:13):
Well, there go drop this from my fantasy critic and
be very excited about that because I picked that before
all this stuff started happening.

Speaker 7 (01:32:21):
All right, they're gonna have it's a metric prime for
delay during the.

Speaker 5 (01:32:25):
That'd be funny they lead with that least least surprising
news in a lot of ways, right, I mean, this
felt like obviously they were gonna do this, but no,
no new release date. Is it as ominous as it sounds?

Speaker 2 (01:32:37):
I mean, it just was ominous in the sense that
I don't think it's coming out this year. Do I
think this is a game that's canceled or never coming out?

Speaker 4 (01:32:44):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:32:45):
No, I mean yes, they let everyone play it. The
vibes were off and now it's delayed. What else do
you need? That's story?

Speaker 5 (01:32:53):
Yeah, But like, okay, do we think had Concord been
delayed they could have turned that into something else?

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
There is that question like what are we gonna do here?
Suicide Squad is a big example. They delayed that game
like a year, like a big delay for Suicide Squad,
And what did that do except make the game more
expensive of a bomb for them?

Speaker 6 (01:33:12):
Exactly right. So that's what I'm liking.

Speaker 5 (01:33:15):
It's not as obvious to me that I mean, yeah,
they will release something here for sure because it's Bungie,
but like, it just doesn't feel like this is going
to be the answer to what ails them. And I
guess no one's suggesting that, but uh, yeah, good luck.
I don't want Marathon to bomb. I wanted to be
able to find an audience because then Bungie gets to
continue existing as it does. Although I say that and like,

(01:33:39):
we've heard bad things about the leadership, so maybe it
shouldn't get.

Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
Surprising because like the entire time with Marathon is like, well,
that seems weird. But I bet once people play it,
they're gonna be like, wow, this feels so great to
play and so fun. It said that Alpha came out
and people like that. I don't know if I get it,
And that was my reactions, like I don't get it.
I guess other people are gonna like this. Maybe the
it's was no people are making it and here we are,

(01:34:02):
but yeah, like, what are you gonna do? You can't
not make it what you made it to be. I guess,
like you know, Fortnite was able to pull that miracle.
I don't think there's too many in those not a magician's.

Speaker 5 (01:34:15):
Hat, there's not a lot of like, oh, we have
this idea that it was handed to us by another
developer that we're working with. Epic was working with the
PUBG developer, helping them develop the unreal engine into something
to be able to play that better, and as they
were doing it, they went, oh, wait a second, we
don't need this other person. Now, that's not a situation
any other studios ever, in like, because you're not controlling

(01:34:37):
your engine like that necessarily.

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
Yeah. I don't know, Marathon.

Speaker 5 (01:34:42):
I suppose when it re emerges, I think there's a
chance it is no longer an extraction shooter the next
thing they see it, I.

Speaker 6 (01:34:49):
Mean think it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
It's yeah, but it's like Chuck Shooter is not that
far especially that game that I was playing, It's not
that far from just being a Battle Royale in a
lot of ways.

Speaker 5 (01:34:59):
Yeah, yeah, I think you kind of just do something
slightly different, but go to something that's a little bit
more broadly appealing, at least for Marathon.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
I bet it will still have it. I bet it'll
still be an extraction shooter. But maybe it's like here's
a Battle Royal mode that actually might really be more popular.
I don't know, maybe there's other issues. Maybe you can
just make the extraction mode more fun somehow.

Speaker 6 (01:35:21):
Yeah, well, hey we should make this more fun.

Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
Yeah, could we talk out the graphics on level three?

Speaker 6 (01:35:26):
Yeah, that's what the focus group told them right before
you pivot out here. I feel like the I want
to go back selfishly to the rock ally thing. Please
go ahead, because I feel like we missed the wards there.
Pricing that was announced, there's some leak. Crazier conversation, Yeah,
there was.

Speaker 5 (01:35:43):
There was some leaked pricing, that's right. So apparently pre
orders were going to start in September or August or
something like that. I can't remember, at least that these
are leaks, these are rumors.

Speaker 6 (01:35:52):
Sure, sure.

Speaker 5 (01:35:53):
And then the lower priced one was going to be
like six hundred and seven hundred euro.

Speaker 2 (01:35:58):
This is the number we have.

Speaker 5 (01:35:59):
But then the one that everyone should probably care about,
the X variant that has the more powerful chip in
it and has a lot of ram it's, it has
the nice organomics and has all the stuff that you want,
looked like it was gonna be around nine hundred euro,
which is that's like a thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:36:13):
And then the voice I was going to say in
the voice of Mike Minati English dollars.

Speaker 5 (01:36:17):
What is that English dollars be around a thousand, so yeah,
pretty expensive. But also like that's how much these things
really are. We were kind of getting subsidized early on,
especially by Valve for the steam deck, so it's not
like out of the it's not out of pocket or
anything like that. It's just a lot of money.

Speaker 6 (01:36:35):
I'm I'm very excited about this thing. I feel like
I might be on an island here, but I cannot
wait to get one of these because I just don't
I just want one thing like and for this to
replace a steam deck and do everything. I'm excited.

Speaker 7 (01:36:48):
Yeah, we've got to be getting closer to like a
new steam deck, right.

Speaker 4 (01:36:52):
Yeah, Like it's been a bit.

Speaker 7 (01:36:53):
I mean the ol ed was basically yeah, start improving
for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:36:56):
But they started some of these other third party vendors
that make their own hand LPCs have started shipping with
the steam os on there, so that's already starting to happen.
I think that's just means it's a matter of time
at this point for Valves like and now here is
steam Deck two Okay, probably next year. I think that's
probably probably next year when that happens.

Speaker 2 (01:37:14):
Uh, Are you ready for me to jump back to
Marathon because I'm looking at this block.

Speaker 6 (01:37:19):
Yes, let's just go here, go there. I'm just following you, guys.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
They do explain and a in a bulleted list the
the ways that they're going to try to make the
game better during this time.

Speaker 6 (01:37:31):
Okay, let's hear it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Okay, So three big bull points there. First off, upping
the survival game more challenging and engaging AI encounters, more
rewarding runs with dow types of loutnant dynamic events, making
combat more tense and strategic. So you know, that's more vague.
I did find the AI pretty brink there when I
was playing, so that's something that can help. Number two

(01:37:53):
doubling down on the Marathon universe. Increased visual fidelity, so
they are tightening the graphics. Uh, more narrative and environmental
storytelling to discover and interact with. And a darker tone
that delivers on the themes of the original trilogy than
the last thing. You're adding more social experiences, a better

(01:38:14):
player experience for solo and duos, and proximity chat so
social stories can come to life. So there you go.
He sickos. They're adding proximity chat for you.

Speaker 7 (01:38:23):
Yeah, but it's not funny, you know, meant to be
used to make jokes of course.

Speaker 2 (01:38:30):
Yeah, So I don't know, like will all that be
enough to turn it around for this thing? Like some
of it's vague, like well, I mean you're gonna make
the game darker, like in what way it's a you know,
it's a extraction shooter. Uh, You're gonna literally darken it.
He's gonna like add in some data tapes where people
talk about the horror boys they died. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:38:52):
Yeah, I just feel for them because it feels like
a problem that's too big to solve. There was an
updated from numbers that do include English money five hundred
and eight hundred dollars in US dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:39:07):
According to it's an easier pill to swallow.

Speaker 5 (01:39:10):
Yes, definitely, So this is not like converting the euros
to two dollars. This is like a different set of information. Yeah,
eight hundred dollars does feel like okay, I could definitely
swing that. And I'm with you back of our where
it's like, once I hold this thing, if I know,
I find it to be like, Okay, this is something
I want to like use because I just need to
do that personally, because I think it looks a little

(01:39:31):
weird with the Xbox controller stable to the side. It's like,
I kind of want my handhelds to look like a handheld,
even if they're getting so absurdly big that that's a
stupid thing to even call them anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:39:41):
But whatever, that's what I want.

Speaker 5 (01:39:43):
Unless this is just super comfortable and I won't even
think about it, which is, I guess is probably what's
going to happen. Because people seem to think the organomics
are very good. Everything else is lining up where it's like,
as long as that Xbox OS interface that makes it
makes sense on a handheld is decent, I'll be very happy.
That's just what I want there, right on. Yeah, all right,
that does it for the news. Let's hand the show

(01:40:04):
back over to Janechowa.

Speaker 1 (01:40:06):
We're gonna go take a quick pricky break, and we
will be back with emails and YouTube super chats right
after this.

Speaker 2 (01:40:16):
These are the emails for the show.

Speaker 1 (01:40:19):
Emails.

Speaker 7 (01:40:21):
Email coming in from Dan Record from Kansas I'm going
to be in Kansas City this weekend and I just
posted on blue Sky on Facebook Marketplace in Kansas City
there is a cardboard standee from nineteen ninety five of
Reba McIntyre holding a big bag of Fredo's scoops and
it is only fifty dollars in Kansas City.

Speaker 2 (01:40:44):
It's a carper cut from the nineties. What shape could
it possibly be in?

Speaker 7 (01:40:48):
It's not in great shape and I don't know if
they just make me.

Speaker 4 (01:40:52):
Yeah, look at it on my blue sky.

Speaker 7 (01:40:54):
If somebody wants to buy that and bring it to
my dad, who's Kansas City on the Kansas side, I
will take it home this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:41:02):
So okay.

Speaker 7 (01:41:03):
It was my birthday yesterday. This can be my late
birthday present. You're taking this.

Speaker 5 (01:41:06):
You're not gonna leave it with Paul Raker, that deviant, right, No.

Speaker 7 (01:41:09):
I will put it in the game room next to
all my fucked up so okay, good, How are you
going to bring a pas It looks pretty folded already,
so I can probably give it a fold look. If
Jesse even Telley got that fucked up Palm Tree yacht
as a guy back to New York, I can.

Speaker 6 (01:41:22):
Do this follow up question, how did you come to
find this?

Speaker 7 (01:41:26):
I saw someone just post it and I was like, well,
I need to get this flow to him like I
was looking at it like in the in the leading
up to your trip with your dad, or you're just like, well,
I'm out there, I might as well just fucking go
on market place. He wants me to shut up about
it because I texted him. I said like, is this
near you? And he says not at all. That's north

(01:41:48):
of k C. That's closer to my friend. Is it
near the airport because you're picking me up at airport?
He says kind of. I think Gladstone is east of
the airport a bit, but not much. So it's in
Gladstone technically. Uh, probably twenty minutes for my dad. Anybody
wants to get it and bring it to my dad's trailer?

Speaker 2 (01:42:01):
Wow? Yes, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
BombCast Giant bomb dot com is the email addressed to
send you emails to. If you wind up purchasing and
want to handle correspondence about the RIBA McIntyre cardboard cutout,
Please send emails to BombCast John Bomb dot com Yeah,
or Blue Skymie or Blue Sky dam. First email comes
from Simon from Saskatchewan, continuing with trivia. Thank you Simon, Hello, BombCast.

(01:42:27):
Pronunciation of this beautiful province does not end with Lund.
Like many non Canadians say, it's Newfoundland. There was a
case of a person being killed in an argument in
Colorado in eighteen seventy six over the pronunciation. It's a
pretty wild story too. The murderer confessed on what he
thought was his deathbed, only to get better and have

(01:42:47):
to go on the run again. Newfoundland and Labrador has
some amazing names for towns, example Conception Bay, Conception Bay South,
and there are dozens and would make this email too long.
The list is worth reading. Confusingly, Labrador dogs don't come

(01:43:08):
from Labrador, but Newfoundland. Newfoundland dogs do come from Newfoundland
though thanks of course you signed from Saskatchewan.

Speaker 2 (01:43:16):
PS.

Speaker 1 (01:43:17):
How's the mugsaga going bad?

Speaker 2 (01:43:20):
Poorly? I think it's great. I had to like set
aside like hours today to go through it and finally
to do some stuff on the back end.

Speaker 5 (01:43:30):
He was stomping and in his own house back like
just pacing back and forth like looking so grumpy.

Speaker 2 (01:43:35):
It was great. Yeah, I'll figure it out though, we'll
get we'll get on it all right. Next email comes
from Mike from Loveland. Hello, giant bombsyebot suit. Last week,
jan Live edited an email for me mid read without
losing a drop of rhythm, A talent you could only
discover because the job you're forced to do. What other
hidden talents did you discover you have via the jobs

(01:43:56):
you've worked. During my time as a sandwich artist, I
learned I know exactly how much ioli to get on
the knife, very perfect, even spread across bread. Love the show,
Love you all, Mike from Loveland.

Speaker 7 (01:44:06):
I mean, I think an obvious one for us is
playing a video game, keeping conversation with other people, and
keeping tabs on a chat. I know, like when I
brought people onto streams that don't do this for a living,
I realize how unnatural of a skill that is.

Speaker 2 (01:44:20):
I didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:44:21):
I don't even think about it. And you're right until
I see other people in that situation, like, what do
you know? I don't like doing any of that. I'm like, oh,
I get that now that you explain it. But yeahah
it makes sense that that be hard, but it's do
it so fucking much, you know. It's it's honestly, it's
like I was thinking along those same lines, and it's
uh that has helped me. As Like I've had the
kids and they're like they constantly want to talk, and
they never realized that maybe I'm already having a conversation

(01:44:42):
with like their mom. They don't care about that. I'm
going to talk now and be able to like started
traffic like we play traffic cop for all that stuff.
But all right, you go over here and wait over
here while I finish this conversation and you're in this
part of that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:52):
It's like that's the same thing of like managing.

Speaker 5 (01:44:54):
All these different stuff uh uh, you know, things that
need your attention on a stream and stuff like that.
So both those things have fed into one another.

Speaker 2 (01:45:03):
I think sometimes when it comes to linking in like
an external mic to a video recording, because I've looked
at y'all's waveforms so much, I can just do it
by sight or versus doing it by like actually like
looking at the waveforms.

Speaker 4 (01:45:20):
What are the tells?

Speaker 1 (01:45:21):
Well, the easiest hell, back in the day with Brad,
his waveforms instead of going up, they went down because
and then Grub has like a unique cadence where like
he will pause before like introducing another news story, so
it's easier to find a break.

Speaker 2 (01:45:37):
There you go, interesting, Oh, there you go, there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:45:40):
Ye intimate knowledge you think you know someone you don't
until you stare at their waveforms.

Speaker 7 (01:45:45):
Baby, yeah, get.

Speaker 6 (01:45:45):
Deep in the wave forms, the closest thing we have
to a soul.

Speaker 2 (01:45:49):
Exactly like that.

Speaker 6 (01:45:51):
Wow, backler deep, I know I've been holding onto that
for a minute.

Speaker 1 (01:45:56):
Tom from Saint Catherine, Ontario, Canada, sent from my iPhone
rights in. I don't feel good about this, but I
finished Mind's Eye tonight and I couldn't have that bee
for nothing. Well, I was playing. I was getting a
weird familiar feeling, but I couldn't quite put my finger
on it. Then it hit me.

Speaker 2 (01:46:12):
A game that was obviously a one point meant to
be open world, unforgivable, unforgivably long driving sequences that led
to boring cover shootouts, extremely bland, very brown, desert setting,
take away the clothes on love making and brothers.

Speaker 1 (01:46:27):
This is cyber Ride Hell to Retribution. Oh no oh. Also,
the game ends in a weird underground temple, so it's
all kinds of alone in the dark for the Wii. Anyways,
I funk with you all, thanks by.

Speaker 2 (01:46:40):
But there's a charm yes, charmless Ride to Hell.

Speaker 4 (01:46:45):
Yeah, Hell's at least funny and goofy.

Speaker 5 (01:46:48):
He has character, right, This has like Ride to Hell
was devoid of anything. It's like a like just a
it's insane.

Speaker 2 (01:46:57):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:46:58):
Yeah, I can't believe you finished this emailer.

Speaker 1 (01:47:01):
Tom, Yeah, please spend your time wisely.

Speaker 2 (01:47:03):
I do think I actually ended up on the mind's
Eye subreddit and there are like very interesting people that
are like the game.

Speaker 6 (01:47:09):
Actually, see we need to interview We need to interview
these people. Yeah, that is what we need to Hello, Hi,
Yes you would like to defend this game? Go on,
off you go.

Speaker 5 (01:47:21):
I mean there was there's those people for everything. There
were those people in television a Mico.

Speaker 2 (01:47:25):
Oh yeah, just a ravenous group of me. I just
I love it.

Speaker 6 (01:47:31):
It's just copium, right, yeah, yes.

Speaker 2 (01:47:33):
And you're definitely most likely to find them on the
subreddit for that page. Or it's either that or the
sub writer is like a complete like hate room with
nothing but absolutely violent.

Speaker 6 (01:47:43):
That yeah, there's between yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:47:46):
Man, all right, we have a we have two quizzes.
Actually who first one comes in? Hey bombers. A couple
of months ago, I sent y'all a Dan versus Mike
quiz involving the Wo Tong and Lord of the Rings. Well,
after extensive research, I now present to you Dan versus
Mike Quiz Round two. It's seven questions, each worth one

(01:48:09):
point each. The winner is less Weird for the.

Speaker 6 (01:48:11):
Day, Oh for the day. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:48:15):
Dan has to tell us whether the following character or
characters are from Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. Mike has
to tell us whether the following rap artist or group
is from the East Coast or West Coast of the US. Hell, yeah,
I won't ask them to get too granular. Dan won't
have to tell us the specific game, just a series
they're from, and Mike only has to say East or

(01:48:37):
West coast, not the city.

Speaker 5 (01:48:38):
Can Me and Baclard just register answers after they do,
because we obviously ours don't count.

Speaker 1 (01:48:43):
And one final housekeeping note, I didn't include Grubbing these
quizzes because to my recollection, he has never lost to
Dan or Mike in a quiz, so it wouldn't be fair.

Speaker 5 (01:48:51):
That's I think that's fair. Yeah, that sounds direct to me.

Speaker 1 (01:48:53):
All Right, Dan, we're gonna go through your seven questions first,
and then we'll go to Mike grub backl.

Speaker 5 (01:49:00):
If you could keep score for me, yeah, I'll do
it right now a second, yep, all right, all right,
go ahead, Dan, Yeah, from Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest
number one?

Speaker 7 (01:49:14):
Titous we will Mike also be answering the uses to
test his knowledge. Okay, Titus is from Final Fantasy and
bonus points from ten.

Speaker 2 (01:49:22):
Okay, just up points.

Speaker 1 (01:49:26):
That is correct.

Speaker 2 (01:49:27):
No bonus points squall Squall is from eight. Okay, that's
another point for Dan.

Speaker 4 (01:49:34):
Erdric sixteen.

Speaker 1 (01:49:42):
That is incorrect.

Speaker 7 (01:49:43):
Dragon Quest Oh wait, oh Murry, I forgot we're doing
Yeah dragon Quest, No, you've lost the point lost sixteen.

Speaker 5 (01:49:52):
That's a Final Fantasy game in Quesse sixteen.

Speaker 6 (01:49:56):
Nope, not yet, still wrong okay.

Speaker 1 (01:50:00):
And robo.

Speaker 7 (01:50:04):
Frogs from this isn't a name, sir, but the frog
I know was from Chrono Trigger.

Speaker 1 (01:50:09):
That is correct. Dan, that was a trick question?

Speaker 4 (01:50:12):
Really, beatron Trigger.

Speaker 7 (01:50:14):
That's a great game.

Speaker 2 (01:50:15):
Is so much easier for Dan.

Speaker 6 (01:50:19):
Can't trick?

Speaker 4 (01:50:19):
No, it's not just so easy.

Speaker 2 (01:50:21):
You play. You've played Chrono Trigger. You think I've listened
to an entire one these albums? Am about to be
asked about or whatever?

Speaker 1 (01:50:29):
Jade Uh dragon Quest correct number six, the Turks Final
Fantasy correct, U last one, Serena and Veronica Uh dragon
Quest correct six for seven, six for seven, Yes, he

(01:50:50):
missed one that's six points.

Speaker 2 (01:50:51):
So what he lost was when he forgot the rules.

Speaker 6 (01:50:55):
I mean, look, a loss is a loss, all right.
I got faith in you, Mike.

Speaker 2 (01:50:58):
I got this. These are and I'll be guesses.

Speaker 6 (01:51:02):
Well, you got a freaking coin toss chance for each one.
So what's the problem.

Speaker 1 (01:51:06):
You You may have heard a song and then just
equate it to either like bacclar or myself.

Speaker 6 (01:51:11):
Yeah, there you go. That's that's not always how that
plays out in hip hop.

Speaker 2 (01:51:16):
But sure, well you know there's like an East coast
flavor west.

Speaker 6 (01:51:20):
It's bigger Tupac. That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:22):
It's just like there are two where I think I
would know the answer, and hopefully I get those otherwise.

Speaker 5 (01:51:26):
Okay, wait, do you know the answer to Biggie and
or Tupac?

Speaker 2 (01:51:29):
No?

Right the Beastie Boys.

Speaker 2 (01:52:08):
Oh that's ship. That's not a pop group, to be fair.

Speaker 6 (01:52:14):
They started out as a like very dirty punk band.

Speaker 7 (01:52:17):
But yeah, I don't know much about the Beast didn't
know the Beastie Boys were rappers.

Speaker 2 (01:52:20):

That's a dapper dance?

Speaker 6 (01:52:36):
That's come on, guys?

Speaker 2 (01:52:42):
Think about The East is in the name, just like
the Beast Cast, and maybe that's where the Beast Cast
came from. I'm gonna say the East Coast.

Speaker 1 (01:52:51):
Also, well, you know what no Sleep till Brooklyn baby,

I don't know what. From the journey sound a town

(01:53:58):
of trip hop. I believe you this is this is
good because maybe the W stands for West. That's you're

Speaker 6 (02:07:37):
I'm gonna go with fairy liquid. You can't be It
can't be a. It cannot be a.

Speaker 1 (02:07:45):
Your mind's eye has opened because it is a fairy?

Speaker 2 (02:07:54):
What is going on?

Speaker 6 (02:07:55):
I need confirmation for one of the chats right now?
Fairly Liquid fair Fairy Liquid is a brand.

Speaker 2 (02:08:02):
We call it. We call it dawn. Yeah, you know,
it's a clean situation.

Speaker 6 (02:08:08):

dish soap. But fairly fair way, I keep saying. Fairly
Fairy Liquid is a.

Speaker 6 (02:09:03):
Well, they just said bubble and squeak is the food
oh be I thought that. I thought that's what they said.
I could be wrong.

Speaker 5 (02:09:10):
I'm gonna go sticky minse pudding because it sounds too
too much.

Speaker 2 (02:09:13):
Like real food.

Speaker 6 (02:09:14):
Yeah, that's why I think it's b I think it's
more of a direction.

Speaker 2 (02:09:17):
Yeah, I'll tell you right now, you're wrong. But tone
in a hole is when you put a sausage and
like a rising bread thing I've seen.

Speaker 6 (02:09:24):
I thought that was of something else.

Speaker 1 (02:09:29):
The correct answer is d a sneak, spotted dig YouTube
spotted dick is steamed pudding. Tone in a hole is
a dish of sausages baked in Yorkshire pudding. And bubble
and squeak is fried potatoes and cabbage.

not gonna go through the second quiz because that is
a little bit too adult, uh, And we're not gonna
go into rule thirty four with a quiz.

Speaker 2 (02:10:10):

Speaker 6 (02:10:11):
I'm not that independent.

Speaker 2 (02:10:14):
I didn't.

Speaker 6 (02:10:15):
I want to see it.

Speaker 1 (02:10:16):

has more?

Speaker 2 (02:10:19):
So?

Speaker 5 (02:10:19):
Do you have one more question here? Unless I haven't
read that, is that we do have one more question?
We have Okay, we have one more question?

Speaker 1 (02:10:24):

In being bong Land and I'll put on the accent.
Don't get shirty with me if you sandwich is short
of a picnic, like a biscuit and a rainstorm, not
my circus, not my monkeys, biscuits.

Speaker 6 (02:10:42):
It seems this all seem accurate. Yeah, I think it's
a maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:10:48):
I think I've heard B and D in a sounds
so ridiculous. I think they definitely use it.

Speaker 6 (02:10:53):
They'll get shirty with me.

Speaker 2 (02:10:54):
I see.

Speaker 5 (02:10:56):
Yeah, well C just is a saying, So you're right,
maybe I should go with that one, because that like
sounds like something you would say, like you don't want
to put a cookie in a rainstorm.

Speaker 1 (02:11:03):
I'll go and see the answer is see.

Speaker 6 (02:11:09):

matrix and you're just like, this is what it is.

Speaker 1 (02:11:24):
Uh, don't get shirty with me means don't get short
with me. If you send, which is short of a
picnic means not very bright or insane, and not my circus,
not my monkey's means not my problem.

Speaker 2 (02:11:35):
I like that a lot.

Speaker 6 (02:11:37):
I'm gonna start using it. I really hope we might
have a job where other than working at a circus.

Speaker 5 (02:11:44):
It's the most applicable because look, just a bunch of monkeys,
and then like, if you're gonna do your thing like,
not my circuits, my monkeys.

Speaker 6 (02:11:50):

What you want? What if it was a monkey name macgroover?

Speaker 4 (02:12:17):

Speaker 7 (02:12:20):
I kind of relate to mcgroover more than most characters.

Speaker 1 (02:12:26):

be committed. That wasn't saying, like, obviously a spoonful of
mayo be disgusting. But I don't want regular mayo on

little garlic in there. There's already usually some garlic, but
like a lot of garlic, puts a hot sauce. I
