Speaker 1 (00:13):
What is up? Everybody?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome to this week's episode of the Dense Pixels Podcast.
I was about to say the other show that I record,
I'm one of her has Brad joined by my co
host Micah.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Terrence, What's Up? And Carrie, What's Up?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I feel like for me like this is like because
I for those that don't know, I usually record this
and look forward consecutively. And this show is like eating dessert,
like before you have your dinner. Essentially is it dinner?
Like what are you having for dinner?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Hot?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Hot garbage, hot garbage? It's it's it's like it's like
the equivalent of eating It's like the equivalent of eating
like Nashville hot chicken, but it's like the hot sauce
is too hot so that it's it's so hot you
can't really enjoy it because your mouth is just on
fire the entire time. Like That's that's what it's like
right now as we determine whether or not we are
(01:11):
we or Israel or Iran or at war with each other.
Apparently as of us, recording is right now, no maybe
who knows what tomorrow will bring, but we have we
have video games talk about it's actually gonna be mostly
a community show today because we don't really have any
news to talk about. So we'll take a little bit
(01:32):

(02:15):
a weird like I have like a weird two block
of two games that are similar, and I'm doing it twice,
and this is the one I have much less to
say about. So a game that I've been wanting to
play for a while that I've had for a while
that I finally popped in a you called Midnight Fight Express.
(02:37):
The most reductive way to describe this is this is
a john Wick simulator. You basically are a sleeper agent
that gets like activated to go beat up people that
are causing strife in your city. And the gameplay is
very much an Arkham combat style brawler, with the kind
(02:59):
of hook being that you can also pick up like
different weapons and things like that that enemies dropping lead behind,
including handguns. So you know, you pick up a handgun,
you do the traditional john Wick like two bullets in
every enemy that you see, and then the handgun runs
out of bullet so that you could throw it at
an enemy, and you can kick like explosive barrels a
enemy and stuff like that, And the whole game is
(03:21):
kind of based around really fluid, really fluid combat. The
stages are short. It is the type of game that
it is really it's intending itself to be incredibly replayable
to achieve high scores where they award you based on
you know, time to clear and the variety of ways
that you dispatch your enemies and how like big combos
(03:43):
you can chain together and things like that. It is
a very stylistic game. If this is something you're into, Terrence,
you might really enjoy this very much, because again it's
one of those yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
One of those games. Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's not for me though, It's it's not something that
I really choose to to to kind of pursue and
chase high scores. On what is for me though, and
which is very similar. Apparently if you take like this
concept and you make it like an audio visual like
sensory overload, apparently that's all I need to get into
(04:20):
this style of game. Because I also played a demo
for a game that's coming out soon called Dead as Disco,
which is very similar in terms of the fact that
it is again an Arkham style brawler, except it's set
to music and it rewards you for kicking ass on
the beat, and it's very It's and like I said,
(04:44):
you add music to that kind of system and all
of a sudden, like I'm totally it, like like for
whatever reason, like that's like the missing link it takes
me to care about running and trying to achieve a
high score. The demo lets you just play through some
of the tracks.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
That they have in game.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Here's the other thing that's really cool about Dead is disco.
Apparently you can put your own music in the game.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, you know what.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Have I? And you may ask yourself, well, like, have
you ever wanted to beat up foes to an OC
remixed version of sewer surfing from Turtles in Time? And
the answer is yes, that's actually a really fun thing
to do. Side there are a couple songs there. It
works pretty well. I do feel like the game works
(05:30):
best if you're playing something in like one hundred and
twenty one and eighty like bpm range. Like anything more
than that it gets a little ridiculous, and anything less
than that is a little too slow because again, like
the whole point of doing the attacks is you're trying
to time your attacks in rhythm with the song, and
that gives you like a bonus. You do more damage
you and you kind of increase your Comba multiplier as
(05:55):
you go through there. The game is like ridiculously sick
with style, and they like if you watch the trailer
for it, they tease that there's gonna be like Boston
Counters and stuff like that. This does feel like a
more traditional brawler in the campaign mode, and then they
have like a free play mode where you can just
kind of run for high scores and do things like that.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
This looks really cool.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I don't know when it comes out, but if you have,
if you are on PC, you can definitely download the
demo on Steam.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Now and give it a look. See.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So Midnight Fight Express, I think is a little too
vanilla for me, but Deat's Disco seems really cool and
I'll be watching this one with one eye to see
how solid it is on release. Carrie, I'm gonna pass
it over to you. You have more to say about
(06:49):
Mario Kart World.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, because my copy finally fucking came in after I
recorded the last.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Episode I was on, which was a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Mario Kart World is ostensibly not as good as Mario
Kart eight, but it's it's fun.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I'm I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
But you know, I I like the kind of rally
stuff in Knockout Mode, but I wish that, like the
point to point races were limited.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
To Knockout Mode.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I really wish the Grand Prix was just a classic
Grand Prix because I feel like we're not really getting
to spend a lot of time with a lot of
these courses, and and that stinks like Rainbow Road fucking rips.
But that's the only I think in my my memorable
course from the game, because of the fact that, like
we're not really getting to spend a lot of time
(07:48):
with with these courses. So I wouldn't say it's like bad,
It's it's not a bad game at all, but it's
just it's not what I wanted.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
It's not what I wanted out of a Mario Kart experience.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
And I understand that they really perfected the classic formula
with eight and with eight Deluxe in particular. I'm just
hoping that, you know, potentially they introduced like a Classic
Grand pre mode or something like that.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
As DLC.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I'm sure we're going to get, you know, additional characters
from outside the mainline Mario games like we did with eight,
you know, because they had put like Animal Crossing and
Splatoon and Delda characters and that, so I'm expecting similar
additions to World.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
But yeah, I just like it didn't hook me.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
The way that I thought it it would, so I
haven't been playing a ton of it. Really, It's like
I cleared all of the all of the all the
races and all of the solo knockout mode stuff, and
I'm just sort of like, okay, like I feel kind
of done with it already, which feels like kind of
a bummer. But uh, the game that I have been
(09:00):
playing a lot recently, particularly within the last week, is
I finally went back to Pokemon Scarlet because I had
purchased the DLC and then never played it. And the
DLC came out like two and a half years ago
and I straight up bought it and then didn't play
it at all. So I finally have done. I finished
(09:22):
the first half of the DLC. The DLC at large
is called the Hidden Area of Hidden Treasure of Area zero,
and then the first half of that is called the
Teal Mask. So I have finished the Teal Mask, and
I just started the Indigo Disc, which is like the
second half of that kind of continuing storyline. I like
(09:43):
a lot of the New Trainer characters. I think the
kind of core little story and how it plays on
classic Japanese folklore within with the Teal Mask in particular,
I like it a lot. But yeah, God, those games
run so fucking good on the switch too.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
It's like it's a shame they.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Didn't work like that off the bat, but they they
run so smooth, so fast. I've been seeing some reports
that essentially like the game runs so quickly that it's
able to load more Pokemon at a time, So it's
like completely broken shiny hunting because it's it's just made
(10:24):
it really easy to do that for people who are
into that, which I guess is great for those folks.
But yeah, I I just I'm enjoying like returning to
Pokemon Scarlet after a couple of years and feeling like
this is how the game probably should have always played.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
So a quick question for you is are Scarlet and
Violet actually good Pokemon games or were they just bad?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They are running games when they optimized.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
They were poorly optimized when they came out. Like you
can go back, you know, probably you know, one hundred
or so episodes at this point and revisit my views
on Scarlet and Violet when they launched. But I liked
Scarlet and Violet when they launched. I just wish that
they ran better. So now that they run really good,
(11:18):
now it's like, oh no, now they're like now they're
really good. I always thought like they were solid out
of the box, and like the open worldness was obviously
something they were, you know, really kind of doing for
the first time. They just didn't have the hardware capacity
to kind of do what they wanted to do a
(11:38):
few years ago, And this little switch to upgrade feels
like they're finally kind of seeing the actual vision for
these games come to fruition. So, yeah, Scarlet and Violet
I think are absolutely worth playing. If you pass on
them to begin with because they were so poorly optimized,
that's totally fair because they were difficult to play.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
But you know, at this point, it's just like, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Have no hesitation in recommending these games to anyone who's
interested in Pokemon at large.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
So why didn't they go back to try to optimize
the games prior?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Or did they try to when they.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I don't, I mean, I don't know. It begs it
really does beg that question.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
I think.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I know that there were some patches that were released,
and I think there were some slight optimizations that that
were done with like the DLC releases and whatnot, But
even then, it's like they were really just limited by
the original switch hardware.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
In a lot of ways. So with optimizations.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
H Well, I was gonna say, Terrence, I actually do
have an answer to your question as to as to
whether or not they tried to go back and optimize
the game, and that answer is, as of March thirty
first of this year, Pokemon Scarleton Violet had combined for
almost twenty seven million units in sales. So no, they
don't give a shit because they already got they are
(13:10):
at the back.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
They did, they did already kind of get the back.
It wasn't it wasn't really necessary for them to it
because they did.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Kind of already get their money.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
But yeah, it's it's it's interesting, you know, ultimately, you know,
when the game first launched, it it was kind of
like a seven out of ten game. And I think
a lot of people, like I've been seeing a lot
of kind of re reviews of the game on switch
to hardware, and the general consensus is, oh, no, these
games are good. They were just hindered by like dogshit
(13:44):
performance on the original console.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
So yeah, I mean, I always liked the kind of like.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Just the characters, the gym leaders, the kind of parallel
storylines that you.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Got in the game.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I think it was very amus and yeah, I just
I think it's it's really good.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
So the fact that Scarlet and Violet now.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Play as well as they do on switch to hardware
really gives me a lot of optimism for how Legend
Za is going to be when that comes out later
this year.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So well only for playing on the switch to, because
that game is also.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Correct if you're playing it on the switch one, good luck, I imagine.
But I mean, I mean, look, I could be wrong
because the original, like Legends Arcius, played fine on like
it wasn't perfect, but it played much better than Scarlet
and Violet did.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
So who knows.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I mean, maybe they'll have learned a lot within the
last three years in terms of how to optimize those
games for original Switch hardware too.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So I also wonder just because Pokemon Za is going
to be like focused, like contained within a city and
not necessarily like an open world game, that they might
be able to get by a little bit easier in
that respect as well. So, uh, we will see. Terrence
continues to live vicariously for me. Thanks to his game
(15:13):
Pass subscription, he could check out the games that I
have a slight interest in and let me know if
it's gonna be worth my money. And Terrence, you have
been playing the new soccer game. So apparently they took
popular game Rocket League and said, what if instead of cars, Uh,
we have people as as the players on the field.
What an interesting concept.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Have people in your soccer game.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
It was crazy.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Forget the rematch. I wanted to talk about two other
games FBC Firebreak sucks. I tried it, I'll play. I'll
put like an hour into it. The gunplay feels weird,
it's just don't feel right. And the actual gameplay itself, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Just it's just off. Like you play three characters.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
You have to do the you have to complete these
objectives in this in the Oldest House, it's in the
Control Universe. The first mission you can finish in like
a minute twenty seconds. I was like, okay, what are
we doing here. You had to like charge these fucking
generators and that was it. Second mission you had to
like destroy sticky notes and like a ten thousand sticky notes.
(16:21):
You wet them up with the dude with the cannon
and then you shoot him or hit him with a
with a wrench and at all the time, all the
while you got these enemies coming at you. It's just
not very fun. And like I looked at reviews and
they were like, eh, yeah, it's not.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Very The reviews were middling.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It seemed it seems like it would be fun maybe
if you played with friends, but like, yeah, yeah, probably.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Not a good solo Q game. No, I don't don't
even bother playing by yourself. Yeah, like you can play single,
you can play solo, and you can also c whip
with the other two people. Don't even bother playing single
because it's just pointless. It's just the most boring shit
in the world. So yeah, that game is a note
for me. It's a thumbs down. But what is the
thumbs up is Lost in Random the Eternal Die. It's
(17:02):
basically Hades with a less compelling story. It's very fun, Like,
gameplay is tight, it's cool. It's a very fun game.
I enjoyed to put about two hours into that until
Rematch came out on Thursday. Rematch is, like I posted
in the in our chat, is the most fun, slash
infuriating game I've played in a very long time. Like
(17:24):
it's fun because the game itself is incredibly fun.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Like I have came on Thursday, I have twenty two hours.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
WHOA okay, Jesus, yes, I got over to I have
over two hundred matches in the game.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
It's I've been playing. It's not stop Like.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
The first time I stopped playing was like yesterday when
I went to a rahim and I was playing it
right before I jumped on here.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I love it, like, it's incredibly fun.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
The issue that I have, but like, first of all,
like let's get with the Let's start with the controls.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
The controls are tough. It's really difficult.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I've heard on your feet, I've heard that it's like
so like, and you wouldn't have the contest because obviously,
like you don't play the FIFA games like so like.
FIFA is very player friendly in how the game plays,
because like the ball, like when you're when you're dribbling,
the ball kind of vacuums to you, unless you're like sprinting,
(18:21):
in which case it's a little bit looser and makes
it easier for the vendors to get when you're shooting.
It does a pretty good job of kind of telling
you or kind of knowing where you want the ball
to go and kind of compensating for you as well.
And it seems like that rematch is aiming for a
higher skill. Yeah, for a higher skill.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Ceiling absolutely not like rematch. You have to aim your shots.
It's like it's like with the with the right stick.
You have to aim where you shoot the ball. You
have to aim where you pass the ball. Passes are
not like if you've passed to somebody, they have to
capture the ball. It doesn't there's no like magnets or
anything like that. So they have to be good enough
to catch the ball. You have to be good enough
to aim your shots. Ninety five percent of the people
(19:04):
don't know how to pass.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
It's very infuriating. There are a bunch of ball hawks.
It's five. Well you have you have the unranked matches.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
You get three three v three, four v four or
five five ranked matches of five E five. I feel
like I haven't played like multiplayer a competitive game in
a very long time with a team. It's been a
very long time, and in most in ranked matches, I
thought people wanted to win.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Clearly, if that's not the.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
Case because because people you get a team when you
get because I'm solo cuing, like this game would be
amazing with if I had four other people to play.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I already loved the game, but if I had like
a crew, listen, but I don't.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
So I'm so cuing with everybody, with four of the people,
and every single game there's at least one person that
does not want to pass the fucking ball. And I'm like,
so they start doing all the tricks and shit, and
I'm like, you're gonna get the ball taken from you
within three seconds, and just like clockwork, you.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Do the kick, you do the fucking rainbow pass, and.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Then they do this other shit and boom ball going.
They kick it to the other team and it's a
two on one. The goalie, the goalie has to try
to protect their goal. And that's not I mean goalie.
Playing goalie is pretty fun. Also, like playing goalie is fun.
It's just but yeah, like teamwork makes the dream work
in this game, you know, like if you have a team,
(20:31):
I'm in division I'm in Gold Division one right now.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
In order to get started out.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
In goal division three, you get twenty point you can
need one hundred points to get to the next division.
Twenty points per win, eighteen points per you lose, eighteen
points when you lose. I made it to Division one.
I had to win ten straight matches to get to
the Division one. I don't know how to fuck that happen,
but I did it. I did it with solo queuing
(20:59):
because I'm getting better. I can clearly feel myself getting better.
But it's it's a lot of fun. I don't know.
I don't know if I would recommend it because it's
super bare bones right now. It's just there's no single player.
It's all like it's just everybody is a player. There's
no bots or anything like that. There's a tutorial and
there's like you can go on to practice field by
(21:19):
your fields, by yourself, to practice year your moves and
shit like that. That's pretty much all, and there's a
there's a season pass kind of weird. I think the
game is forty bucks. The purchase thirty I don't know,
thirty bucks, yeah, thirty bucks. Season passes is nine bucks.
I guess whatever. Put them having a blast with it,
like it's I don't I.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You might like it if you have a crew.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
But the thing is like it was in early access
on PC and people here's the thing. People are mad
that it's not cross platform. Not fuck that, not right now.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No, I'm not trying.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
To play people that have almost three hundred a game
on PC because I would throw my fucking SYS about
the window because I know they would be a thousand
times better.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Than I already am, so like, give it a month
before that they don't. They said that they're working on it, but.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Okay, yeah, I feel like in this day and age,
especially for a game like that, like cross play is
kind of a prerequisite, like it's kind of a deal
breaker that it doesn't have.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
People are super mad, but like it's coming, But like
I said, I'd rather play with people on my level
right now, because again, PC has been in early access
for months, and I don't want to play them right
because because I've seen videos of them playing and I'm like,
I don't even know how to.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Fuck you pull that move off?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
All right, I'm interested because like the impressions that I've
seen online have been mixed. But but the fact that
you've played as much as you have.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
In the.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
Never like I'm shocked how much I like the game,
Like when you when you actually pull off the move
that you want to do, because again, the controls are
so fucking difficult, Like when you're like doing the moves
and you pass to somebody they get it and then
they kick it in, or you take it, get a
fast break and you actually score. It's the best feeling
in the world because you're like fighting other people on
(23:06):
your team to do the ship. Because again, it's always
there's always at least one other person that's just doing
their own fucking thing.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I'm like, yo, I hate you, and I don't have
a mic.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, I was about to say, are you're like communicating
with these people?
Speaker 7 (23:19):
I don't have a mic, but you can, like there's
a communication button, Like if you're running down the field
and you're open, you can say hey over here, or
if you're blocking.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Somebody, they don't. Yeah, that's background. No damn, I'm here.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
It's it's super fun, but there's like way too many
people trying to do some bend like Becka man Ship.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I don't even know. I've never seen that movie. I
don't know what that means, but I.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Mean, I mean, it's it's like you're Descripsion's accurate basically
in terms of you.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Know, it's so frustrating, you know, I swear, I just
I saw people wanted to win. That's it. I'm like people.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
People just want to do cool, want to be the
hero man. People want to be that they want to win,
but like they want to win, they want to win.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
You play, you play Call of Duty back in the day,
didn't you, Like you know, there are people on the
team that are just worrying about farming Katie are They
don't really give a ship like whether or not you
win the that yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Team death smatch. I don't really give it.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Like your kills add up to our score, like you're
kicking the kicking your goals. Kicking the fucking ball directly
to the goalie, doesn't do I have the goalie kick
that bitch.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Directly back into our fucking it's it's it's very frustrating,
but again like it's so fun.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
I I recommend it if you have a crew of
people to play with.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
If you don't, I don't think I would recommend it.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well if if if cross play comes and you're still
on it, then maybe you and I can can cop.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
For some matches if you're stile and you need to
give yourself like an hour at least to get to
get the kit.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Because there's they're really weird. They're just strange. But it's fun, like.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
It's playing playing rocket League with people.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
They should they should try that in real life. Yea,
that's weird.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
The other the other game for me, uh is so
I've been long curious about the Age of Wonders series.
Age of Wonders is a uh it's a grand strategy
like four X game that also sprinkles in some uh,
turn based tactical combat. Now, I've gone on record on
this show by saying that I found out about myself
(25:28):
that I really dislike turn based tactical comment. It's just
it's just usually not for me.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
However, I've been I've been vibing with Age of Wonders.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
One of the reasons for this is because they have
an auto battle feature, where like, if you roll up
on somebody and you obviously have like, you know, a
big advantage over them from a combat strengths, because the
game kind of shows you, like, hey, like this is
what the combats looking like. Fre you do it, you
can auto battle and you know, the game will simulate
the combat for you, give you the result. If you
(25:59):
don't like the result, you can you can go in
and retry the battle manually, which I think is a
cool feature. So turn based tackle comment in bite sized chunks.
Apparently I'm okay with that, just don't design your whole
game around it, and and and maybe I'll lie with it.
But obviously, the thing that I like about Age Wonders
is more the four x grand strategy piece of it. Now,
(26:22):
coming from someone who plays CIEV Age Wonders is very
different because in Civilization, like you're really focused on building
out your cities and building out different infrastructure and farming
different resources. The Age of Wonder teams really reward specializing
cities more than anything else. So we're like, you don't
want to have really like production diverse cities that are
(26:46):
producing all kinds of different resources, Like you want to
have like one city that's focused on you know, production,
and one city that's focused on research, and one city
that's focused on money and things of that nature. So
that's a bit of a different way to play, where
you're building much wider instead of taller. I'm more of
(27:07):
a tall builder in a civilization game. So kind of
like rewire my brain to play Age of Wonders and
it's it's been slow going, but I'm kind of coming
to grips with it now. The reason that I'm playing
two different ones. I'm playing Age Wonders Planet Fall, and
I'm playing Age Wonders four. As Planet Fall might suggest,
that is the sci fi themed Age of Wonders game.
(27:30):
Agent Wonders four is fantasy based. Weirdly for me, and
maybe it's because it's newer, I find myself leaning more
towards Agent Wonders four, the fantasy based one, which again
shocks me as much as it would shock anyone listening
that knows my genre procabilities. But the other thing that's
(27:51):
really cool about these games is that it really leans
into customization. Right, So like when you started, when you
start a game of Age Wonders, they have pre made
like races and like dispositions, but you can also create
your own, Like you can literally create your own race
of people, have whatever linement you want to pick, like
(28:11):
starting perks for them, which kind of determines like your
your opening strategy. And then in Age Wonders four, the
way that technology works, which is really more like magic,
is that when you start the game, you start with
like a tone, right, and whenever you earn enough research
points to unlock a new technology, the game offers you
(28:33):
like three technologies to choose from and you pick one right,
and so kind of like roguelike game, you know, offers
you perks when you complete like an area and things
of that nature. And then once you've earned i think
it's five technologies from one tone, then it's like, okay, cool,
you've mastered this tone. Now you get to pick the
next tone that you're kind of researching from, and they
give you the full gamut selection of tones that are
(28:55):
in the game. So you really so instead of having
like a technology tree like you would expect most as
to have, you really can adapt and create stuff on
the fly and and kind of build your civilization on
the fly. And it makes every game very different if
you want it to be. Like obviously you can kind
of mainline a specific path if you want to, but
(29:19):
it really does encourage you to sort of experiment with
different scenarios. And it's just really neat because, like I said,
I'm very used to more of the structured style four X,
not used to games that let you freewheel as much
as as Age of Wonders does. This is a pretty cool,
(29:40):
it's a pretty cool series. It's it's weirdly both more
daunting and less daunting. Than like a civilization game is.
It's just it's just very different. I will say that
if you, like, if you're a fan of like turn
based tactics, this might jive with you because, like I said,
the game is heavily battle focused. Like there's NPC factions
(30:03):
on the map as well that you can attack. It's
not just other players that you fight against, so you
are really encouraged to participate in the military aspect of
the game, even if you don't plan on warmongering, because
you can get like resources and stuff like that from
attacking the NPCs. But yeah, it's it's it's really neat
again for like at first, like I was like, Planet
(30:24):
Fall is cooler because you know, sci fi guns and
shit like that. But the kind of sci fi that
the game is, it's really kind of like fantasy sci
fi in a lot of ways. So you know, for
me that was it made it kind of easier to
look at for and for just there's a lot of
a lot of shit going on with it. I will say.
The only downside with Age Wonders it is a paradox game,
(30:45):
which means that of course it's littered with fucking DLC,
so be warned. Like if you get into it, then
there's a lot of shit that you can buy optionally
if you want to, because Paradox Games tend to constantly
put out new content for their stuff, which is a
pluster minds. But there's a lot in the in the
base game to keep you busy as well as well.
(31:07):
So we'll get right into the news. There's only one
story this week, and it's a funny one. So there
was a switch to advertising campaign in the London underground
that had you know, posters of the switch to and
(31:27):
various games and stuff like that and advertising like all
the different stuff that could be available to switch to.
And what caught a lot of people's attention is that
they had a advert for Metroid Prime four Beyond and
on the advertisement it said that the game is out now,
which caused a bit of a panic on the internet
(31:50):
or like holy shit, like did Nintendo's Stealth drop Metroid
Prime four? What the hell happened? What is going on here?
As you might expect, this is an Ockhams Razor situation.
The most obvious solution is the correct one, where a
marketing person just fucked up and put the wrong put
the wrong copy.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Just a matter of the wrong copy.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
I can tell you exactly what happened here.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
As someone who's worked in marketing for a long time.
What you do is you come up with the assets,
particularly like Nintendo sent them probably a media kit with
approved assets, and they laid them out in order to
fit the space provided, and then they sent them back
to Nintendo for approvals in terms of okay, cool, you know,
(32:42):
here's the here's what we used, and Nintendo approved. And
then in terms of the people responsible for installing, which
was probably a third party company, what the actual ad
or marketing agency did was they sent the wrong fucking file.
(33:02):
That's all that happened here is that they sense the
file that says, you know, available now, rather than releasing
on whenever the hell it releases.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
That's all that happened here.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
But of course it I'm sure very confusing for folks
seeing this where it's a very large advertisement inside this
uh you know, rail transit station.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
And it says out now, and it's obviously not out now.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
But you know, someone someone's file management wasn't correct at
the at the marketing agency and the wrong thing.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Got sent to the installers. That's all that happened here.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
I did happen to be online and watching uh some
streaming when this was discovered and and like broadcast online.
So it was just funny watching the confusion happen in
real time. Everyone pretty quickly like realized, like this is
probably just a civil fuck up here the advert the
advertisement has been changed to reflect now that is coming
(34:00):
out in twenty twenty five. But no, no, yeah, no
more no more specified dat date than that. Nope, well
ntendo it is good today. They've they've just set twenty
twenty five this year, so we shall see. Uh that
actually does it for the news, believe it or not.
So let's kick it right over to the dence Pixels
post office where you can ask us questions that we
answered on the show by going to dencepixels dot com
(34:23):
slash fans. We will start with t wash, which I'm
sure they're asking a question hyper targeted to me with
the disappointment that is the release of lul Wayne Carter six,
What album did you listen to that started off good?
And then when what the fuck am I listening to?
Speaker 7 (34:46):
Snoop's latest album that came out in December? I didn't
expect much from it, and I'm like this this is
kind of dope, and then it just went downhill after
like the song numberfore, I was like, I don't like
none of this shit. The first four songs are dope,
and then all right, you're old. I don't care the
cant no more. But then again I'm old, just like
(35:06):
you know. But that, yeah, that Carter six was terrible,
like that shiit Lin. Manuel Miranda made the beat that
everyone hates. There's this song called Peanuts to an Elephant,
and he did the beat, and this is the song.
Everybody's like, Yo, what the fuck is this nonsense? And
it's it sounds like an expected gadget beat.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
It's weird. It's very strange.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Should be making any fucking beats.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Like I like him, I actually really like his work,
but I was like, I don't know what the fuck
you got going on in this song.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
This is terrible. And then on the record, the dizey
cit just got progressively worse.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
I was like, all right, I've never been I've never
been a huge Wayne fan anyway, but I wonder, I
wonder if you, if the three you could identify the
only little Wayne song that I'm actually familiar with.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
A Mille Nope, boy, nope, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
The The only little waiting song that I know is
the Block is Hot, only because it was on when I.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Was watching twenty five years old Terrence.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
It was on, it played had regular rotation when I
was watching TRL back in the day.
Speaker 7 (36:23):
So yeah, so exactly twenty five years yeah right, so hot.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah, he was like twelve, I have awair, Like I
said it, kind of it kind of wigs me out
that he's still it's still even more proficient now.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
So it's like, man, man, that's stank power.
Speaker 7 (36:46):
Second he's in this forty day he's Oh yeah, he's ouray.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Yeah, are you listening to Peanuts to an elephant?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Yeah? I don't know music. I don't know music.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
I don't know music. I you know, I don't know
what I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
It's it's hard to think of one that started well
and then kreemed like off a cliff. I mean I
know one that kareemed off a cliff immediately, the the
Dave Matthews album every Day that came out in my
senior year, where they had a new producer and for
some reason, this is the album where it's like, hey,
(37:29):
we're gonna really lead into an electric guitar on this one,
and it was not good. But that was bad from
Jump Street like like like that that was immediately a
concern when that, when that whole thing came out, I'm
really struggling to think of something that started off fire
and then and then slid down from there.
Speaker 7 (37:49):
I don't do a lot of music anymore, like album wise,
unless I know I'm pretty much gonna like it. So yeah,
that was That was the last one I'm like going
on with. I didn't expect, like I said, I didn't
expect it to be fit.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
But what's wrong with what's wrong with dude Joe? What's
wrong with black dudes?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Terrence?
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Black dudes that are just like five ten years.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Older than us?
Speaker 8 (38:11):
Right, because like I don't know how old lu Wayne is.
I think he's probably younger than us.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
But like forty three, he's around my age. Yeah, he's
around our age.
Speaker 8 (38:20):
So yeah, all right, So what is wrong because like,
like Will Smith is having his midlife crisis.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Like he's pretty girls and ship.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
That song is terrible. I don't know what's going on.
What he doing? What are you doing? Man? Yeah? They
want to be they want to be young.
Speaker 8 (38:38):
Age gracefully man like rap about old man ship or don't.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
How about jay Z does? Jay Z is fifty six
years old?
Speaker 7 (38:47):
Like four four four was great and I was like, yeah,
either I love that fucking out again.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
So I don't.
Speaker 9 (38:55):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
I don't think it's as much as uh, it's remain relevant.
Like that's that's that's the problem is that you have
people that don't want to lose their grip on relevancy.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
Yeah, but you don't remain relevant by like hello, fellow kids,
like what.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
The fuck an album late last year?
Speaker 7 (39:16):
That album was actually pretty good, very considering that has
been in the game for forty years.
Speaker 8 (39:21):
Yeah, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta grow, you know,
people grow with you. They don't.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
You know.
Speaker 7 (39:28):
That's Drake's problem. He's thirty seven years old, still rappend
like he's fucking twenty.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah, that's what people think.
Speaker 8 (39:33):
He's a part of pedophile, you know, like they calm down, bro, Jesus,
oh shit.
Speaker 10 (39:44):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
I mean look, I feel like if you're a longtime
listener to this show, you know that, like, my favorite
musical artist is Jack White.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
But Jack White is not infallible.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
And I, first of all, I never thought the Dead
Weather were particularly good, but I thought that like the
last Dead Weather album in particular, was like the first
track rips, and everything else is just completely forgettable. Not
even that it's bad, but that it's just kind of
mediocre in a way that's almost worse than if it
was like memorably bad. And then his twenty eighteen solo album,
(40:25):
Boarding House.
Speaker 10 (40:26):
Reach, it's, uh, it's weird, and it's weird in a
way that I've tried to like because there are some
there are some bangers on there.
Speaker 6 (40:40):
There's some really good riffs on there, but.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
I don't know, it's it's weird, so I'm gonna go
with those. It's just like you know, it's it's not
one that like starts off really good and then just
like tanks after the first couple of tracks. It's because
the the bangers are scattered throughout, but it's it's so
(41:09):
inconsistent in.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
A way that like kind of sucked. So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
On the flip side, like the latest album from him,
No Name, it's very good.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
I was listening to that again yesterday, so.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, all right, Well.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
To music.
Speaker 8 (41:32):
Yeah, the last thing I listened to was a Kamasi
Washington album.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
So you know exactly exactly fucking jazz.
Speaker 5 (41:44):
So jazz is finezz I love it.
Speaker 8 (41:47):
Yeah, the ship I just listened to, uh this show, I.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Don't know what that was. This dude wrapping about snuffle
up a kiss and all right.
Speaker 8 (42:00):
All right, all right, all right, like people say like
that that guy the best rapper, like in people's eyes,
like like this guy's he's just not to me.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
He just punch line rapp and I need more than that.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
I mean, yeah, man, you know.
Speaker 8 (42:16):
I was listening to I was the last rap album
I was listening to. I was I was trying to
find music to go with an Instagram post and I
had taken a picture of Jean Gray and I was like,
oh wait, I like Jean Gray, like the rapper right,
like he's very good, very good, Like that was the last.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
Like rap album.
Speaker 8 (42:37):
That one of her albums was the last rap album
I listen to, And she was fucking dope, Like that's
what I prefer.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
I don't know what the fun we did the bap
up we did too. I'm good, I'm good, I'm old.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Beach Boy comes in with the question that I have
good news for them once we readthrough it. So with
a new Double seven game coming out. What loved action
movie franchise would you like to see as a video game?
Listening to the recent episode of In Our Apocalypse, I'd
love to see a Predator video game, maybe an online
game which players could be the Predator from the franchise
and chase down players who could be based on movie characters.
I know there's a game called Dead by Daylight that
(43:17):
has that mechanic, but a fleshed out game from this
franchise would be cool.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Beach boy, I've got good news for you.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Predators Hunting Grounds is a game that exists that is
exactly what exists.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
They did it. Yep, not very good. Yeah, it's all
very good.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
Yeah. I mean it's literally the exact thing you want.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
But it's not great.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Here here's the thing here, here's the thing about the
original question, what action movie franchise would we see?
Speaker 1 (43:45):
As love?
Speaker 2 (43:46):
Would like to see this video game. They've already done
all the ones that are worth doing, and I don't
necessarily know that I want anything else that's out there
converted into a video game, because if they do it,
it'll probably not be done well. Because the hit rate
on license games, uh is pretty pretty craft generally.
Speaker 8 (44:05):
So it might not be done well, or it'll be
a derivative of something that's already like a derivative, correct,
like like like that like that game you talked about
it for the john Wick game, right like it's It's
Midnight Fight Express or whatever. Right like, it's already a
derivative of john Wick, which is already a derivative of
(44:27):
other action movies. So you know, the best you could
hope for would be like an Uncharted style, which is
a derivative of law Croft, which is a derivative of
Indiana Jones right and.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
And again, like some some of the best games in
this genre are games that are clearly inspired by movies
but aren't Like Hell Divers comes to immediate mind, is
like obviously like Hell Divers is just starts of Troopers,
but it's done in a way that's really well. Uh
and and and it gets the whole thing that Startarp
(45:03):
Troopers was going for. So yeah, Johnny asks, are there
any Hopium characters you want to see in the new
Marvel Fighting game cable.
Speaker 6 (45:19):
I don't play fighting games, but he was in NBC
two and then never seen again.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
It was like he was a broken character and yeah,
and they.
Speaker 6 (45:29):
Brought him back and made him cracked out again.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Why not.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
I would love to see what Cable would look like
in that art style.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
Yeah, it'd be sick. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (45:41):
I got a list of blade feels right there, right,
he's Dante, right, swords and guns and dusters, right like,
there you go, there's Dante.
Speaker 1 (45:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
Personally, I would like to see.
Speaker 8 (45:59):
Uh, Doctor Octopus I think would be a very unique
style of character, especially given that, like these games traditionally
have like a lot of the air dashers, so they
have a lot of verticality to them. Instead of Doctor
Octopus like jumping around, you know, his his arms could
(46:22):
be the thing that propels him up. You'd have to
kind of play around with the hit and hurt boxes
with the tentacles.
Speaker 3 (46:28):
If you do that.
Speaker 8 (46:29):
But I think that would be kind of cool, you know,
the Fantastic Four obviously, But you know, I don't necessarily
think that. I think the only interesting person would be
Sue in her power set.
Speaker 5 (46:43):
Oh you don't think mister mister stretchy would be.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Right? They and they have they have they have Ms
marvel in it. They have Kamala Khan and.
Speaker 5 (46:55):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (46:56):
So for the record, the playable characters so far have
been confirmed to be Steve Rogers, Doctor Doom, Ghostwriter, iron Man,
Miss Marvel, Spider Man, star Lord, and Storm.
Speaker 5 (47:11):
I would, uh, there's a lot of room for a
lot of characters in there.
Speaker 8 (47:14):
I think I'm just trying to think of like different characters,
you know what I mean. Like, like I think like
there's something with like a cloak and dagger, like as
a team character, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
You picked, you picked, especially from that studio specifically who
have done like ten characters before.
Speaker 8 (47:31):
So that's what I'm saying, right Like, like I think
I think they could really like have fun with like
a cloak and dagger as like a unit instead of
Doctor Strange. Put like doctor Voodoo in it, right, just
to be different, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
Yeah, there's a there's a there's a bunch of characters.
Speaker 8 (47:52):
I just want like different, like fresh faces, right like,
because we know we're gonna get like.
Speaker 6 (47:59):
You're gonna get Deadpool, You're gonna.
Speaker 8 (48:01):
Get you know, you're gonna get the Avengers, You're gonna
get Wolverine. They're probably gonna be a ship to put
Nightcrawler in it.
Speaker 5 (48:09):
I mean I would like to see Crawler.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 8 (48:13):
You know you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna
put X men in it, the first one you should do.
The only other one besides throwing, the first one you
should put in is Wolverine, and the second one should
be Nightcrawling.
Speaker 3 (48:23):
I think that will be super duper dope.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (48:27):
Man, there's there's a ton there's a ton of characters
that I think would be really good outside the box
picks not just like gun guy, gun girl, arrow Man, right, you.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
Can have them.
Speaker 8 (48:43):
Look, there's there's a bunch of hand to hand people
you can't have, like Iron Fist and Daredevil and you know,
Winter Soldier and.
Speaker 4 (48:52):
Like some like I want to see like Tanky kind
of dudes, Like I want to see Juggernaut. I want
to see Juggernaut Colossus, like uh.
Speaker 8 (49:04):
You know, yeah, there's gotta be a big man, right,
Like there's good or a big character right like yeah,
I don't know, man, but like I want them to
I want them to kind of go outside the box.
Speaker 3 (49:17):
You know, you're gonna have your.
Speaker 8 (49:20):
You know, the the Schuma, Goroth or God Cantos or
whatever was the was was there out was the big
outside of the box character. I want them to have
more outside of the box characters, especially with that, like
you said with Aryst like that they're guilty give people
every character is outside the box.
Speaker 3 (49:39):
Literally, are you a box?
Speaker 1 (49:41):
You will be checked?
Speaker 2 (49:45):
Yeah, it's it's gonna be really interesting to see. Well
maybe not, because, like the FGC is not typically a
myopic community, Like they're people that play like you know,
Marvels Uptown probably also play anime fighters too, So like
I guess it won't be that different than a like
like a.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
Style wake up for a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
Maybe maybe casual fighting game fans might be shocked if
this game plays like an anime.
Speaker 8 (50:12):
I mean, so you're gonna have people, You're gonna have
people that like, are gonna come into this with an
MVC mindset and and they're gonna they're gonna it's gonna
take some growing pains. They're gonna be like, oh this
shiit sucks and all that, and so they get good
at it, and then they'll be like, Yo, this is dope, right,
Like that's just that's just how the FDC is. And
if you if they never get good at it, it's
(50:33):
it's gonna perpetually suck. When they put a Kuma in Teken, right,
they were like, oh, this isn't techn this is this
is terrible except for the people that like are really
good with a Kuma in techn and then it's just
like yo, adapt bro, like like figure it out.
Speaker 4 (50:50):
I'm looking in the kind of like history of NBC
characters and like the Marvel lineups and like there have
been some interesting kind of deep cut a character Marrow.
Marrow and Cable were both in NBC two. Shu McGrath
as mentioned Spiral was was but like I would love
(51:16):
to see Marrow back, like Marrow fucking rules. But yeah,
I mean obviously there's a there's a really kind of
like deep catalog of characters.
Speaker 5 (51:28):
It's not like they're gonna run out of ship to do.
Speaker 4 (51:31):
But yeah, Cable's gonna be my topic because I am
nothing if not predictable.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
Film wander says logan, Paul is one hateable ass motherfucker.
Both brothers are. But that mister whole lot of money
gone broke song on Antonio Brown kind of rips name
a good point from a piece of ship in the gaming,
racing or wrestling world. And they're only asking because Antonio
(52:00):
Brown did some dumb sh it, including recently with an
attempted murder at a celebrity boxing match in Miami. Anthony
Brown seems like a guy who has like some serious
mental illness problem, So like, that's very unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (52:13):
I don't understand the question.
Speaker 2 (52:15):
Basically, who can you say something nice about someone who
is a known garbage person.
Speaker 3 (52:20):
The worst person, the worst person.
Speaker 8 (52:22):
You know? Just made an excellent point. Yeah, yeah, for example, Oh,
I don't know bad people.
Speaker 7 (52:32):
I don't hang around with trible people. But that interview
with Ted Cruz and that just scumbag as.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
Yeah Carlson, Yeah, last week was pretty fucking funny.
Speaker 5 (52:43):
That was pretty.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
But he can still go to hell for all I care.
Speaker 4 (52:47):
No, Tucker Carlson can fall down a fall down a
fucking ditch. But also seeing him press uh cruise like
that when a lot of other media people have kind
of have avoided doing.
Speaker 1 (53:01):
So, very much avoided doing so.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
I mean again, like he he The way he conducted
that interview is like the way the Jay and I
have been begging regular interview people to conduct interviews like
call them out on their bullshit constantly. And that's because
Tucker Carlson's not worried about maintaining access to like he
doesn't he doesn't give a ship. So yeah, but which
(53:24):
which also goes to show how fool ship he is
that he that he knows to ask those fucking questions,
but he didn't do it when he was in Fox
because he was trying to protect his bag.
Speaker 1 (53:32):
So he had to hurt.
Speaker 2 (53:36):
Could Look, I'll give you I'll give you an interesting one.
The Undertaker seems like a really good professional wrestling guy
who we have since found out is kind of like
a dirt bag from a personal I hated politics standpoint.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
When he trans women in sports this is my daughter,
I'm like that was some scumbag ship.
Speaker 2 (54:05):
Yeah, that like like as we found like, like the
Undertaker has some really shitty opinions on a lot of subjects,
but by all accounts still a great mentor and guy
to the next generation in the professional wrestling industry.
Speaker 1 (54:20):
So there you go. Yeah, a lot of them. You know, Yeah,
I just can't roman reign Trumpet.
Speaker 5 (54:31):
What did he say?
Speaker 2 (54:31):
He says, Yeah, I think I think that was him
trying to try to read the te leaves and just
you know, appeel to I don't I don't know that
he's that much of a fucking douchebag. I think again,
he is. He is someone who is worried about bag
bag protecting. Essentially, Yeah, he's he's worried about brand management.
Speaker 1 (54:48):
At this he didn't have to say anything exactly. He's stupid.
He's stupid, cousin, we didn't say he was smart.
Speaker 2 (54:59):
So I thought, I'm not going I'm not gonna make
Mike uh you know, or Carrie say something nice about
well carry carry did his professor for Targra Cross and
so I'm not gonna.
Speaker 8 (55:11):
I'm literally I'm literally thinking, man, like the worst people
in wrestling I can think of are like, who Hogan?
Speaker 3 (55:17):
There's literally nothing.
Speaker 2 (55:20):
Man, let me tell you something we didn't We all
get a little excited when that story first came out
where like Bublah loves Funds, like, hey, everybody guess what
hul Cogan is literally about to die and then like
that got it got debunked like the next day.
Speaker 1 (55:36):
But that was that was fun for five minutes. Again,
I've never been a Hogan fan, even even when I
was a child.
Speaker 8 (55:48):
He pushed up, pushing up On's wife Nigga, Like what
the fuck?
Speaker 3 (55:52):
Like get out of here.
Speaker 8 (55:52):
Brow you a home record, bro home record. The best
thing about you was the song. And now I can't
listen to that.
Speaker 1 (56:01):
Yeah r Erringer speaking of that, Yeah, yeah, you just
he just died. The creator of the.
Speaker 2 (56:10):
Only redeeming quality of of Haul Cogan unfortunately, Uh passed.
Speaker 1 (56:14):
Away a few weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (56:18):
That's the positive.
Speaker 2 (56:19):
Yeah, great song, great song. Should as I said on
the show before, that song should be the song that
the President of the United States walks into any room too.
Instead of handing the chief, it should be real American instead.
Don't say that to like, no, no, he's He's definitely
not cool enough to get that.
Speaker 3 (56:37):
But you know he'll do it.
Speaker 1 (56:39):
He'll do it. I know he knows. He knows.
Speaker 3 (56:42):
Fucking y m c A.
Speaker 1 (56:48):
I feel like the look, I'm gonna say something. I
think Trump is gay.
Speaker 3 (56:56):
I mean, I think he's.
Speaker 1 (56:57):
I honestly believe he's kind of I think he's close.
Speaker 9 (57:00):
I think he's I think he's very but I think
he's fluid, you know, like those imaginary you.
Speaker 7 (57:10):
Know, I'm not even joking. I'm like, legitimately serious. I
think he might be like bisexual.
Speaker 1 (57:17):
He said, well ship, he really does he's saying some
wild ship. But he can't be you know, he's fucking
eighty years old, so you can't really and and a Republican,
so you can't just be out there. He can't. He
can't come out. I guess again, his mentor was a
gay man.
Speaker 10 (57:32):
You know.
Speaker 1 (57:32):
I'm sure you know back in the eighties, seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (57:37):
Yeah, they probably look do you staying? And I just
wish the man would be able to live in his truth.
Speaker 1 (57:42):
That's it. That's it anyway that I'm serious, guys, I believe. Uh.
Speaker 2 (57:50):
Beach Boy also asks me, uh, they know him? Into
my handhelds? Have you heard or got into amberd the consoles?
The handheld emulators? I got a couple of them.
Speaker 1 (57:58):
Pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (57:59):
I have several, actually, I mean there's one literally right
behind me. I have the Little Game Boy sp one downstairs.
My wife has a pal Kitty handheld as well.
Speaker 1 (58:10):
Yeah. They are fun little toys.
Speaker 2 (58:13):
I don't know if they're good value now because of
the additional expenses that are added to them thanks to
the current political climate, but uh yeah, they're they're they're
fun distraction to have for like like old emulation stuff.
Speaker 1 (58:28):
I what I'm not a fan of.
Speaker 2 (58:31):
And what I will not get into is like kind
of the more like mid range emulator consoles that you find,
like the one fifty to like two hundred and fifty
dollars range that can play like up to like PS
three three sixty air games and stuff like that, because
I have a Steam Deck, so like, you know, any
anything that those can do, the Steam deck can do.
Speaker 1 (58:51):
And that's and that's just fine.
Speaker 2 (58:53):
But yeah, like I love those the way Amberdic consoles
they are.
Speaker 1 (58:56):
They're very fun. Kurby Curb for Ever says, Hey, guys,
just got done replaying Uncharted four. The villain Rafe in
that game is great. He is scary, funny and charming.
Were some of your favorite video game villains that are
scary and funny, et cetera, just like Raife was in
Uncharted four? I don't remember. I don't remember video game
(59:18):
villains playing games. I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 3 (59:25):
Hm hmmm. I mean.
Speaker 8 (59:31):
Just because it's top of mind. Handsome Jack at the
time was very umber charismatic. It's top of mind because
I was talking to Brad about how much of a
hypocrite I am.
Speaker 2 (59:43):
I wasn't I wasn't gonna out you like this on
the podcast, allow me to share a private communication between
Micah and I. Micah texts me on Signal today saying,
remember when you said that Borderlands four might have slightly
peaked your interest and I chastise you for it. After
seeing some of the recent gameplay previews, I am reminded
(01:00:05):
that I am a hypocrite.
Speaker 8 (01:00:08):
I am, guys, it looks it looks interesting to me, man,
it looks interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
I don't know if it's just.
Speaker 8 (01:00:14):
Because I'm buying what they're I'm buying with the selling
or or but some of the some of the gameplay
mechanics with like that boss fight seem pretty interesting. And uh,
you know, they're saying the right stuff, and the right
people are saying it, you know, the people who are
making the game, and not the the.
Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Magician with the porn on his USB, Like, not that guy.
Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
They're they're bowling.
Speaker 8 (01:00:42):
Yeah, like they're they're just they're they're they're they're keeping him,
you know, off to the side doing businessman stuff and
letting the people that actually, you know, make games, make
the games and talk about it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Mhm.
Speaker 6 (01:00:59):
Well to think like funny video game villains, we're just
not not that does have to.
Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Be funny, but just charismatic.
Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
Just the villain that she GLaDOS.
Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
Mm hmm, that's a perfect example.
Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
Yea GLaDOS I think is like, you know, charismatic in
that like I want to kill your whole family kind
of way.
Speaker 5 (01:01:22):
She's very well written. So is Wheatley and in too
for that matter.
Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
Yeah, is GLaDOS the the the the precursor to Megan?
Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
No, and and and and why don't you say her
name correctly? It's M Threegan, however, So.
Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
I don't want to spoil it because the game is
getting a remake, but I will say that like the
kind of of primary villain from Persona four I think
is like I I rank Persona for the lowest of
the three modern Persona games. But I do think that
(01:02:13):
the villain in P four is the best villain of
of the three. So yeah, I would I would probably
go with withtophor villain.
Speaker 5 (01:02:28):
I don't want to spoil it.
Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
That dude from a metaphor refountasio. Yeah, Luise Louise.
Speaker 4 (01:02:36):
Louise louis incredibly charming, Yes, very charming, very charismatic.
Speaker 5 (01:02:41):
That's this whole deal, right.
Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
That's the deal.
Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
Yeah, I and his and his his whole thing is
like when the game first starts, like you're listening to
the ship that he says, and you're like, this guy,
this guy's making some halfway decent points, but then he
just kind of keeps going and you're just like, oh okay,
like like like like your heart is sort of in
the right place, but like the way that you want
to get there is like so not the right way
(01:03:04):
to fucking handle this situation.
Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Like you are you are, you are speeding past the line. Yeah,
that's Louise. Louise is a good one. Uh for sure,
I think that I.
Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
Would, you know, you know, you know, we brought him up.
You know, I get why people like Trump.
Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
I do.
Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
He's funny.
Speaker 9 (01:03:24):
He is.
Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
He's funny. He's terrible. He's a terrible person.
Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
A tight ten stand up. Yeah, man, he's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
He's funny.
Speaker 8 (01:03:33):
Just get him out there, have a ten minutes, get
him right off before he starts like really ad living
and you know, don't touch politics.
Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
And then you know, I can't remember where I saw it,
but like I saw some and say, like the best
thing that could happen to us is for us to
somehow get hidden into like a Truman Show type of
situation where he thinks he's the president but he doesn't
actually affect anything, and we can all just watch it
because like like with without consequences, Like yeah, like that.
Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
Would be massively at her dating.
Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
But the fact that, like the reason it's a problem
is because we all have to deal with the fucking
fallout from the dumb shit that he does.
Speaker 8 (01:04:10):
So yeah, if I could just watch a funny old
man sundown, you know, with the and and just watch
him go out the pasture, like I'd watch that, that'd
be funny.
Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
But like not now, No, it ain't not none funny
about this shit at all.
Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Uh, Anthony says casual game her here spent my entire
youth playing sports games exclusively gotten to open world RPGs.
An adult, My preteen son loves these sandbox games.
Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
With no real point. Why do kids like this?
Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
In your opinion, I thought about this when mikeah said
his son was trying to catch the train in Mario.
Speaker 8 (01:04:51):
I think it's because I think it's because kids have, uh,
they still have their imagination. They haven't had it sucked
out of them through age and adulthood, and like they
can just they literally can just make their own fun.
Like you remember as a kid, you could just like
you just you just be thinking about random shit, and
(01:05:12):
you know, you can play by yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
And yeah, the reason the reason why we didn't gravitate
towards those games people people like in our generation is
because we didn't have those type of games. Like those
games didn't exist when we were younger. Those like the
games that we played were much much more restrictive in
what they allowed you to do. I imagine that if
they came out, I was already twenty two, right exactly
(01:05:34):
exactly that was. That was a that was like one
of the first ones right where ITAs like you could
really kind of do kind of do your thing. And
once they kind of took that formula and applied it
to games that were family friendly like your Minecraft or
your Roadblocks or stuff like that, like that's well.
Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
That's that's the ball game right there.
Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
Like you put to MICA's point, you put that in
the hands of kids who can go make their own
fun in games and actually craft the game around that concept.
Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
And there you go.
Speaker 5 (01:06:01):
So you know, my my partner has two kids.
Speaker 4 (01:06:07):
The older has very much been into Roadblocks, the younger
starting to get into Minecraft and roadblocks. For the older child,
very much a social thing. So it's like they're playing
online with their.
Speaker 5 (01:06:19):
Friends, you know. That's that's the big thing.
Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
It's it's less of a oh, we're specifically trying to
play this game and more of it being like an
online hangout space.
Speaker 5 (01:06:32):
At least that's what I've seen.
Speaker 4 (01:06:33):
And with the younger one, with with Minecraft, he I
think is you know, he's very much into like he
has his little hyper fixations on things like you know,
last year it was uh, you know, soccer, but then
also geography, and right now he's very much into like
(01:06:53):
tornadoes and hurricanes and natural disasters and whatnot. So what
he does in Minecraft is, you know, he'll either recreate
you know, these maps that he's seen and so he
like is building you know a map of whatever, or
now it's okay, let me like build this thing and
then destroy it with a tornado or.
Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
Something like that. So is your is your? Is your?
Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
Is he a six year old black boy from Maryland?
Because no, he's a.
Speaker 5 (01:07:23):
Seven year old.
Speaker 4 (01:07:25):
Partially Hispanic boy from northern California. But yeah, very very
into Minecraft right now and very much into uh making
like big whirlpools and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
And yeah, just to break it.
Speaker 9 (01:07:43):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
That sounds real familiar. Yep.
Speaker 6 (01:07:45):
I think for for a little boys, that's very much
a thing.
Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
Is like the desire to break things and then being
able to do so in a game like a Roeblocks
or a Minecraft where there actually aren't any consequences for
having broken anything, is uh, I'm sure very appealing.
Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
So and and again like for my son, and my
son's obviously a little bit of a different camp because
he you know, as autism as I talked about on
the show, but like he'll play Mario Kart, doesn't give
a fuck about the race. He just wants he likes
to just drive around the different tracks. Like at some point,
I'm gonna have to put the free room Mario Kart
mode in front of him because I think that for him,
like that'll be fantastic because he can literally go anybody
(01:08:25):
wants to and and just kind of do that whole thing.
So yeah, I think I think it's just a matter
of you know, what you play coming up in a
lot of ways defines a lot of your gaming interests,
and then later on you might find some stuff. To
Anthony's point, they said that they kind of discovered RPGs
later on, and you know, I'm kind of in the
(01:08:46):
same boat where you know, I've disc like and once
I got a PC, I started playing all like the
dad games that I couldn't play before because they don't
come to console that are right up my alley. So
but yeah, like that's the the people that make those games,
they know who their audience is and they know what
the fuck they're doing too. That's the that's the other
part about it too. They craft them specifically to to
(01:09:08):
hook people in and keep around. So, uh, Duke asks,
is the bag too large for w W t KO
Machine to not consider going to Saudi Arabia this week?
With the news now of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Uh,
that probably takes care of that problem, I would imagine.
Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
So yeah, I'm sure Triple H was like, hey, don
could you figure this out?
Speaker 8 (01:09:38):
Because like we got we got a fifty million Devor's
got a fifty million dollar bag coming right, And I
don't know if it's that the bag is too big.
I think it's just that Endeavor is in debt and
they need as much money as they can because they
are they are operating at a loss. Wait, who's operating
at a loss? V Endeavor is the parent company of
(01:10:01):
t K. William Morris, William Morrison in depth, William Morris
in depth. That's the name of the company that owns
You don't understand how they can possibly be.
Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
Animal because they're buying too much ship?
Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
Yeah you don't, you don't.
Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
You don't need to be profitable to be successful. Like
what business out there is running? The successful business is
running out and operating profit. Get the fuck out of.
Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
Here, Amazon. No, they don't know, they don't.
Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
Yeah they Yeah, they lose, They lose money so that
they can uh not have to pay taxes.
Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
So w W Like yeah, Endeavor, t K who owns them?
They need? They need? I don't get it. Like the product,
like we talked last week, the product is terrible. They're
going over there. I told you guys, they were going
to suck up our truth, didn't I did you see
(01:11:00):
did you watch any of it last week?
Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
I didn't watch it, but I heard. I heard that
it was a throwaway kind of situations.
Speaker 7 (01:11:08):
So he came out of a text, some random dude
and then like he fought I knew he wasn't going
to lose to Sina. I knew it was going to
because they don't want to. They don't want him to
lose clean, and I knew that's what's going to happen.
I didn't know how they want to do it. And
then like, well, you're just growing that character.
Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Let me me it was the magical negro.
Speaker 8 (01:11:25):
He was the magical negro for John Cena to get
the pipe bomb off yo, Like he was the magical
negro for two white dudes.
Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
Like like that, he was the magical negro to further
a story for two white dudes. That is some magical
negroing me.
Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
I told, I told you guys this, but I tell
the listeners like, so, I'm at this point like I
wasn't really watching the w W shows, Like I'm basically
following it through YouTube, like they post highlights and clips
and stuff like that. And you know what else they
started putting on the w W E YouTube channel. They
started putting fucking professional bull riding events and like UFC
(01:12:07):
events and press conferences and why because the w W
YouTube channel has the reach. So t k O is
using it to springboard the other properties that they have
to get eyeballs in front of them. I hit unsubscribed
so fucking fast.
Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
Today it's a boxing match like two months ago.
Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
Because like, look how many subscribers the w W YouTube
channel has so many. Let's put this ship on there
and we'll get in front of more people. That's literally it.
That's literally it. So Terrence, you you are a soothsayer.
Speaker 7 (01:12:41):
Uh of of of the pre they might they might
be sold honestly, might sell them off open too, honestly
because they don't give a fuck about the product. They
don't care about it's a it's an asset.
Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
And it's ruining the product and people.
Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
It's that set brought to you by slim Gym.
Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
People are paying thousands of dollars for those fucking seats.
Speaker 7 (01:13:06):
Still anything, I guess because the kids think I don't
know any better because they just grew up with this bullshit.
Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
Sure, I mean it's all it's all action figures to them,
like that's you know, that's that's the one. That's the
one thing they had gone for him is that you know,
they will always have a fresh pipelined children to to impress.
So uh Tea Washes. If y'all started a crew in wrestling,
what would be your gimmick.
Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
Given my given my video game name, is it a handle?
Is that? Was that what we call it gamer tag?
Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
And was probably the non content Xbox Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
I would, I would. I would.
Speaker 8 (01:13:52):
My gimmick would be like a reverse Domino thing, whereas
Domino's like mutant power is that like she's really lucky,
like I would, I would be really unlucky, and I
would spread my bad luck to other people, right, and
I'd just be backstage.
Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
I want to be.
Speaker 8 (01:14:10):
Carlito, right, just get paid, eat apples, and but like
bad luck and just just give out bad luck, like
like my my aura just as like what and then
just bad shit happens to you. And then if I
have to get in the ring, you know I'll.
Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
Lose a lot because I got bad luck. But like
you like.
Speaker 8 (01:14:34):
Well obviously right, but like but like you get injured, right,
like get injured by wrestling me, like you win, something bad.
Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
Happens to you? Give me. Yeah, I don't know if
i'd want to be a wrestler, I don't. I don't know.
I never really thought of a gimmick for a wrestler.
Speaker 7 (01:14:52):
As a as a wrestler, because again, any person of color,
they ain't give me.
Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
The belt no time.
Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
I mean, I mean, we're we're all the hero over
on story. Like I would love to have like a
Drew Back and Hire style heel, but i'd probably be
like a fucking comedy heel unfortunately.
Speaker 8 (01:15:10):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, they you know, none of us
have none of us have built like J. And even
J wouldn't make it because he's five six or whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:15:24):
Give out. Don't give a funk out big or cut y'all.
You gotta be tall, yo, Like that's.
Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
It unless your reamsterio. That's that's that's the one.
Speaker 3 (01:15:33):
That he's grandfathered in.
Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
He wouldn't he wouldn't have been.
Speaker 8 (01:15:40):
And they get and and and look they gave him
a championship.
Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
They gave him a one and immediately took that ship
off of them, like are we got the Latinos watching
our get it off of them?
Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
But they still had time.
Speaker 3 (01:15:59):
Look how huge he you got?
Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
You got massive? Yeah he didn get biggest, he got huge, bro.
Yeah that was crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
Finally, macaug, if you could turn your favorite movie your
show into a Telltale esque game, which one would it be?
They suggest Sprigging, as it would lend very well to
that style of gameplay.
Speaker 8 (01:16:23):
I got, I got, I got two, right, I got
one that doesn't really make a lot of sense because
I don't know how you would do gameplay elements, But
I'm a big fan of It's always Sonny in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
I would love to see a Telltale.
Speaker 8 (01:16:39):
Game in that vein one that I think does make
sense and would have like gameplay elements as well as
story is the bear. I think you could really pull
off a really good story, uh, and gameplay would be
like you know, you cooking, Yeah, like you would. You
would have like high like intense cooking scenes where you
(01:17:03):
know that you could fail, you know what I mean?
Like I think that would I think that would really
I think that would work for a Telltale style game.
Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
I could see that one. Actually.
Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
I'm not a fan of this franchise per se, but
like they've tried a couple times to make a video
game in the Fast and Furious universe and it's always
like added terribly, But I think it could work as
like this sort of like narrative driven, like you know,
choose your own adventure style game where the action sequences
(01:17:41):
are scripted and you don't have to worry about, you know,
having player agency in those pieces and just have them
make like the character and narrative decisions.
Speaker 8 (01:17:52):
You say you're not a fan yet you described every
single movie and that they end terribly. The last one
ended with Dominic Torrento in a ghost rider car. Right,
it was a muscle car on fire riding down a
(01:18:16):
damn with his biracial son who was named after his
in universe best friend and not after the guy that
actually fucking died. I just it doesn't, Yo, it doesn't.
I'm not naming my kids Jay and Terrence. You know,
Like that's weird. That's weird when like they're alive, right,
(01:18:41):
like like Brian the character is alive in that universe.
Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
Like it's weird.
Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
You know, it's just weird.
Speaker 7 (01:18:48):
After my little like shut up, yo, in remembrance of
I think it has down the street right.
Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
Members of the guy that you were just on the
phone with. What weird man? They just did. They didn't
think that one through at all.
Speaker 8 (01:19:06):
They really didn't think it through real, like they and
that's the thing, like they had their heart was in
the right place, but like their mind wasn't.
Speaker 1 (01:19:16):
Yeah, and they didn't fix it.
Speaker 7 (01:19:18):
They were like, oh shit, they probably did anyone bring
that to their attention, Like Brian's still alive, Like he's
not dead in the movies.
Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
He's just you know, off raising his children.
Speaker 8 (01:19:29):
Because whatever they put your Dana Brewster, she got shafted
in that franchise.
Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
Just like, oh, well, I guess I gotta.
Speaker 8 (01:19:38):
Be over here with my husband, Like, well, where's what
are you doing here? Where's Brian? Oh, he's watching the
kids while we go on while we go on our
bootleg mission impossible movies like.
Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
Carry what do you got anywhere?
Speaker 4 (01:19:59):
I don't, no, man, Like my favorite shows are sitcoms,
like I've been watching a lot of King of the
Hill recently.
Speaker 5 (01:20:06):
I don't know if that would or would not make
a Telltale style.
Speaker 9 (01:20:10):
Game for the.
Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
I'm not soup.
Speaker 4 (01:20:15):
I mean I am and I'm not I am in
the fact that, like, I like that they're just treating
it as like a time skip, right, Like you know,
Bobby's twenty one, I think, and everybody else is older,
so it'll be interesting to see how they handle, you know,
the time change. But then also the fact that you
(01:20:35):
know a lot of the major voice actors from the
original series are now.
Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
Dead a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
I mean, I mean Brittany Murphy and like three of
them and three of yeah, yeah, one guy, well right,
I mean, because that's recently, who's the other one, that's
who's the other late main one that's that passed away?
Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
And I know it's at least.
Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
Three of them.
Speaker 4 (01:20:57):
Johnny Hardwick, who is the voice of Dale gre now
he's going to be replaced by Toby huss who on
the show he previously voiced Khan and Cotton, but now
Con is being con.
Speaker 6 (01:21:13):
Is being voiced by someone who is actually actually.
Speaker 4 (01:21:22):
But yeah, so like Dale is handled, but I'll be
curious to see, like how they handle the likes of like,
you know, uh lu Anne. And that's that's the biggest
question I think is that's like there's a main character
the entire time, and you know, Brittany Murphy's been dead
since two thousand and nine, basically since a few months
(01:21:43):
after the show.
Speaker 5 (01:21:43):
First went off the air in the first place.
Speaker 6 (01:21:45):
So, but I I don't like the new animation. I
think it has lost a lot of the.
Speaker 5 (01:21:55):
Sense of motion basically the original had. So I mean,
like I'm gonna watch it.
Speaker 4 (01:22:05):
I watched a lot of King of the Hill when
I was a kid with my dad, and I have
a lot of free time right now, So it's something to.
Speaker 1 (01:22:14):
Do, I will say, so I am.
Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
I am just interested to see how they handle, Like
I said, obviously the political moment that we're in, because
that show did not steer away from politics in its
original run. Now it was a much more lighthearted time
back when it was first airing. Yeah, but it will
be It will be interesting to see Hank Hill having
to come into grips with the first thing that he
(01:22:39):
almost undoubtedly voted for at least once.
Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:22:46):
But yeah, like in terms of like a telltale game,
like I don't like maybe King of the Hill would
be good for that, Maybe that seventy show would be
good for that.
Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
But like I can see that seventy show.
Speaker 2 (01:22:59):
Yeah you could, you could, you could do that like
just kind of have it, you know, where you're controlling
different characters, Like like I don't think you can control
just one character throughout that game.
Speaker 5 (01:23:07):
I think you have to perspect you would have to.
You would have to kind of shift around between the
uh the kids.
Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
Yeah, so well, good ship.
Speaker 2 (01:23:17):
Uh we are all caught up in the post office
and only took us like then we did it, so
that is going to be uh it for us today again.
