  Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the Buster's
• 0:26
  Podcast. A great place to play games and
• 0:27
  be better. I'm one of your hosts, Corey
• 0:28
  Deer. You know, alongside me, as
• 0:29
  always, is the PC muscle race himself, Laurent Dawkins.
• 0:33
  Hey, what's popping? Hey, Laurent.
• 0:36
  How's it going, Corey? It's it's, it's going, it's
• 0:40
  going, it's going OK. You know, it's been a busy week,
• 0:43
  but, you know, that's, you know, that's what's what happens when
• 0:49
  you gotta support a family and, you know, use money to to live
• 0:54
  life. Yeah, just just part of the part
• 0:59
  of the life we live. So how are you, Laron?
• 1:04
  You doing all right? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:06
  No, no complaints. No complaints so far.
• 1:08
  I'm trying to, trying to figure out what the heck is going on
• 1:11
  with these streets. I don't know.
• 1:12
  You know what, I, I don't want to be distracted.
• 1:14
  Like whatever's going on with the with the streams, they'll,
• 1:16
  they'll do their thing. Leron's trying to fix the
• 1:18
  streams. Yeah, I'm trying.
• 1:20
  No crossing the streams, Leron. So that could be very
• 1:23
  catastrophic. Could be.
• 1:27
  Yeah, no, I'm doing, I'm doing pretty well, you know, like I'm
• 1:31
  just just just hanging in there. Some life changes are probably
• 1:36
  happening real soon here for me. I'm not going.
• 1:38
  I'm not going to divulge that on the stream right now because
• 1:41
  nobody, nobody wants to hear that stuff.
• 1:42
  I do. I want to hear it.
• 1:44
  I mean, I can tell, I can tell you off off off show, you know,
• 1:47
  because like nobody wants to, no, nobody listening to us
• 1:50
  tonight wants to hear, wants to hear what's going on with me.
• 1:52
  Because it's not exciting, it's not boring.
• 1:54
  It's it's not exciting. It's pretty boring and.
• 1:57
  You're you're an exciting person.
• 2:00
  It's not. Don't let anybody tell you
• 2:01
  different. It's not.
• 2:02
  It's not as a matter of fact, here.
• 2:04
  I will just put this in the chat right now for you to see and
• 2:07
  then you and then you tell me. Do I have to like verify my age
• 2:11
  and and you know, buy tokens to see what this is Laron or is
• 2:16
  this like a he's ignoring me? Just read that.
• 2:29
  Just read that. Oh, that's fun.
• 2:33
  Yeah. See, nobody wants nobody wants
• 2:35
  to hear that. And by fun, I mean not not fun.
• 2:38
  Yeah, it'd be fun. Stressful.
• 2:40
  Stressful. I mean like my my hair might
• 2:42
  fall out. Mine already fell out, Laurent.
• 2:46
  OK. So yeah.
• 2:50
  Yeah, actually, actually my hair already is falling out, but I'm
• 2:53
  doing a lot of things to like shore it up.
• 2:55
  And if anybody, if anybody out there in the chat has some
• 2:58
  suggestions for what I can do to like to like save the ship, you
• 3:01
  know? Save the ship using that oil.
• 3:06
  Using that I don't know. The Rosemary, the Rose, the
• 3:09
  Rosemary oil. I don't know what any of this
• 3:13
  stuff is anymore. Just I just, I just, I just, I
• 3:20
  just accepted it a long time ago that my hair was just gone and
• 3:24
  I'm OK with it so. You're still able to grow hair
• 3:29
  on your face, so that's a good thing.
• 3:31
  Kai yes, there is hair on my face, so there's that.
• 3:37
  Yeah. Facial hair.
• 3:40
  Except like right here I still get paranoid about growing even
• 3:45
  though I know I can grow it. I just.
• 3:46
  What like like like the like the mustache mustache that connects
• 3:50
  to the beard? Yeah.
• 3:51
  Why? Because, man, I don't know,
• 3:53
  like, right here is like thin. It grows there and it's dark,
• 3:58
  but it's like, thin and it like, bothers me.
• 4:01
  Like, I don't want to be one of those guys who has like, a
• 4:04
  crustache walking around thinking he's cool because he
• 4:06
  has a mustache. You know, like like 14 year olds
• 4:09
  in middle school that try to grow mustache because I think
• 4:11
  it's cool. See on camera the connecting,
• 4:14
  the connecting, you know, portion looks thick, but in the
• 4:18
  mirror it's not that thick on me.
• 4:21
  Yeah, but I mean, I'm going to get, I'm going to get a little
• 4:25
  racial for a second. You know, black guys can pull
• 4:29
  off the mustache that doesn't connect, right?
• 4:30
  Like if you're, if you're, if you're a white dude and you
• 4:33
  don't have a mustache that connects, you just look like
• 4:35
  you. You just look like you need a
• 4:38
  shower and you need to shave. That's it.
• 4:42
  You know a little WT, you know what I mean?
• 4:44
  Yeah. Well, the one thing, the one
• 4:46
  thing I think the one thing I think the one thing I think
• 4:49
  white guys have over black guys as far as like beard is your
• 4:53
  hair is growing straight. So like it, it always looks
• 4:56
  like, you know, like it always looks like laid down and even.
• 5:00
  Whereas whereas mine like, you know, if it gets like like I
• 5:04
  have coily hair. So like if I'm not careful, I
• 5:07
  could wind up a nappy beard. And that's that's not cool.
• 5:13
  Well, I think you look cooler on.
• 5:17
  Oh, I thank you. I appreciate that.
• 5:19
  You're welcome. And you are always cool as far
• 5:22
  as I'm concerned. And and also may your may your
• 5:26
  pillow always be cool at night when you sleep.
• 5:32
  I like that. I like when you turn the pillow
• 5:33
  over and you're like, it's like hot and you flip the pillow over
• 5:37
  and it's like nice and cool. And you're, it's so refreshing.
• 5:39
  Oh my. It's like, it's like, it's
• 5:42
  almost like it puts you back to sleep.
• 5:44
  Yep, it's great. I love it.
• 5:48
  I love it. Yeah.
• 5:51
  You know what else I love is Laron.
• 5:53
  Talking about video games. Yeah, talking about games,
• 5:56
  talking about other cool stuff. Of course, let's do it.
• 5:58
  Let's do that. I I have to say though I do need
• 6:03
  they. They released the newest episode
• 6:04
  of Daredevil and I am behind and I hear it's the best episode yet
• 6:09
  is what they say on the Internet.
• 6:11
  So I am so behind on Daredevil. What they say all the time,
• 6:15
  every episode. I'm so behind on MCU Marvel.
• 6:18
  I'm so behind on Star Wars right now.
• 6:21
  Like I never finished. I never finished Ahsoka, I have
• 6:23
  not watched the Acolyte, and we're 4 episodes deep into the
• 6:28
  Darth Maul series, which I'm which I want.
• 6:31
  I seriously want to watch that. Oh, is that out already?
• 6:35
  Yeah, it is. Hold on.
• 6:36
  No idea. Hold on a second.
• 6:37
  What happened here? What did you do?
• 6:39
  Did you break it? If you don't, if you don't hear
• 6:42
  that, all of a sudden like audio started coming in, not on the
• 6:46
  headphones, but through through my speakers and I'm like.
• 6:50
  Do you want me to talk louder? Why would you do that?
• 6:54
  Even though you have, you have a very nice voice coming through
• 6:56
  my speakers, but you know, like what the hell?
• 6:58
  What? I don't see.
• 7:00
  I don't like my voice, you know what I mean?
• 7:02
  I don't like it. I don't like it, You know what I
• 7:06
  mean? So we're on talking to his
• 7:10
  roommate? No.
• 7:13
  That's not it. I'm trying to figure out what
• 7:14
  happened here. What the hell did happen?
• 7:18
  I don't. I can't tell you what happened.
• 7:19
  I don't know. It's like.
• 7:22
  You didn't invite me over, so I don't know.
• 7:28
  Hold on, I'm going to refresh. Here we go.
• 7:30
  Iran's refreshing. Here we go.
• 7:34
  And now it's just me widescreen Corey.
• 7:39
  Here we go. I was going to say something,
• 7:43
  but now I kind of forget what I was going to say now.
• 7:46
  So here we are. Here we are getting ready to
• 7:51
  talk about video games, talk about some TV shows, talk about
• 7:55
  some movies. Hey, look, there's Laron.
• 8:00
  OK, now the audio is correct. I don't know what happened.
• 8:03
  It just like it just like dropped.
• 8:05
  I'm, I'm, I'm blaming Riverside for that one.
• 8:07
  I think your headset is just broken.
• 8:10
  It's dying. It's possible.
• 8:13
  I mean. No, I mean, I mean, if I started
• 8:17
  go, if I started GoFundMe, will will some people help me out?
• 8:19
  Because because there's some, there's some, there's some life
• 8:23
  changes happening right now and and I'm not going to be able to
• 8:26
  get a decent pair of headphones. Well, maybe if you if you start
• 8:32
  1 so well. Speak.
• 8:36
  I think I, I, I think I know what I need to start that
• 8:38
  everybody will throw money at. I think.
• 8:40
  I think I know what I need to start.
• 8:43
  Everybody make sure you buy your tokens in advance because
• 8:46
  they're probably going to go up in price too anyways.
• 8:53
  All right, so anyway, we were getting ready to start talking
• 8:55
  about. We were talking about.
• 8:57
  Daredevil. Yeah, I was talking about
• 8:58
  Daredevil. I need I'm going to watch that
• 9:00
  after we're done here. But I've so I've been working
• 9:05
  late the last few nights. Like real work, not boss rush
• 9:08
  work. Trying to get caught up so I've
• 9:11
  been watching like garbage movies on on Netflix and stuff.
• 9:17
  Have you watched the movie War Machine with the guy from Not
• 9:21
  Yet from Reacher? Reacher.
• 9:24
  Not yet. Not the movie I thought it was.
• 9:28
  I got no idea. I did not.
• 9:32
  I did not expect. That sci-fi alien movie, right?
• 9:35
  Yeah, but I didn't know that. I thought it was just.
• 9:38
  I thought it was just like a military movie.
• 9:40
  Like a military movie. Yeah, OK.
• 9:42
  I thought he was the war machine.
• 9:43
  Like he was gonna go like tear people.
• 9:45
  Apart, you know. But yeah, I watched that.
• 9:49
  It was actually pretty good. Very violent, very, very bloody.
• 9:55
  Gruesome but it was pretty good. I I I recommend it if you like
• 10:02
  military. I heard it was.
• 10:03
  I heard it was pretty good actually.
• 10:04
  I haven't. I haven't.
• 10:05
  I haven't seen it yet. It's on my watch list but I
• 10:07
  haven't seen it. Yet it's pretty good.
• 10:10
  I would I recommend it. What else did I watch?
• 10:13
  I watched I don't remember what that movie.
• 10:17
  I don't remember what it's called, but it was Dave
• 10:20
  Batista's in it and he's he's like a single dad, like DEA
• 10:25
  agent kind of thing. And he goes and like does all
• 10:28
  these drug kind of whatever. But like his his kid and his
• 10:36
  kids friends all like try to like hit these crack houses too
• 10:41
  and steal their money because their friend lost.
• 10:43
  Like the it's kind of like the premise of the movie.
• 10:47
  I don't think it's a spoiler, but their one friend's dad dies
• 10:51
  at the beginning of the movie and like they lose their house
• 10:54
  and everything so they try to like they're hitting these crack
• 10:59
  houses to like steal money to pay to help his family or
• 11:03
  whatever and then like. That's not going to go well and.
• 11:06
  Then, Long story short, things go haywire and of course Dave
• 11:11
  Batista has to go save the day. So that's kind of the premise of
• 11:16
  the movie, but it was pretty good.
• 11:16
  It was really good, actually. I'd recommend it.
• 11:20
  I forget what it's called, though.
• 11:25
  Oh, well, yeah, just search Dave Batista, I guess, and look for
• 11:28
  his military movies. So that was pretty good.
• 11:33
  What else did I watch? I watched something else too.
• 11:37
  Something what I watch. It was like another military
• 11:42
  movie. I don't know.
• 11:42
  I've been watching like a lot of military action movies for some
• 11:45
  reason recently. I don't know why.
• 11:48
  That's like the mood I'm in, but it is partially because like I,
• 11:54
  I think I'm waiting for like Reacher season 4 to start and
• 11:58
  like Daredevil is like once a week.
• 12:00
  So like now I, you know, I can't just binge it.
• 12:03
  So man, what else did I watch? Laron.
• 12:10
  Oh, you know what? I I watched the new Jurassic
• 12:12
  Park movie rebirth. Oh.
• 12:15
  Oh, I haven't seen that yet. I'm I, I don't know why I
• 12:19
  haven't seen that. Yet it's on Netflix also, all
• 12:22
  four of the new ones are on there.
• 12:26
  Oh, so the so the so the ones that Chris Pratt rolled in.
• 12:30
  Yeah, and I, I also watched the third one of that of those, also
• 12:36
  the Chris Pratt ones. It was that third one was it was
• 12:41
  fine, you know? It was fine, Yeah, fine, fine is
• 12:45
  like the general consensus on that one.
• 12:47
  Like like, like I, I don't know, like after I kind of lost
• 12:52
  interest in in and I need to watch the new one just to say
• 12:55
  I've watched it, but I kind of lost interest in them by this,
• 12:58
  by the time with the second one. I have to say the one with
• 13:02
  Scarlett Johansson in it. And what's his name?
• 13:05
  Bailey. Jonathan Bailey.
• 13:07
  Yeah. And we're Hershel Ali.
• 13:09
  Very good. That's good to know.
• 13:13
  It was, I heard. It was, well, I heard.
• 13:16
  I heard it was a good revival, but it still flocked.
• 13:19
  Well, they're they're making another one.
• 13:22
  Apparently, Chris Pratt's coming back.
• 13:24
  Well, see, I guess this is how they try to figure out if they
• 13:27
  can, they can get the mojo back. Yeah, it it was really good
• 13:31
  though. Like it it definitely had the I
• 13:33
  would say it has the vibe of Lost World.
• 13:38
  The, the second one of the original trilogy has that sort
• 13:42
  of vibe to it in turn. And like it's, it's a lot of
• 13:49
  action. It's not, it's not, you know,
• 13:51
  the, the science or whatever, but it's, it's good.
• 13:53
  I, I really liked it. And there's like a dual
• 13:56
  storyline going on where like one side is like they end up
• 14:01
  saving this family who ends up going with them to the island.
• 14:07
  And then the the corporate side of it, who's like, we need
• 14:11
  dinosaur DNA to make our medicine sort of thing, you
• 14:14
  know? So basically they're just.
• 14:17
  So basically it sounds like they just rehashed one of the one of
• 14:19
  the older movies. There there's an amalgamation of
• 14:22
  storylines that you could probably piece together in the
• 14:24
  other movies. Yeah.
• 14:25
  But I mean, that's, I feel like that's every revival, though.
• 14:28
  Star Wars did that, you know, I feel like, I feel like Marvel's
• 14:32
  kind of in the middle of doing that.
• 14:34
  Oh, by the way, happy 25th anniversary of Revenge of the
• 14:37
  Sith. Oh jeez, is that 25 years old
• 14:40
  already? 25 years old, yeah.
• 14:42
  Are you sure it feels? Feels feels newer.
• 14:51
  Not by much, but I don't know what I'm saying, man.
• 14:55
  I mean, The Force Awakens is 10 years old, so.
• 14:58
  Oh, I'm wait, I'm sorry, 20 years.
• 15:01
  I'm sorry, 20 years. Still too, too old. 20th.
• 15:05
  Anniversary. 20th anniversary. I don't.
• 15:07
  I don't like that. I don't.
• 15:10
  I don't like it. What?
• 15:12
  What? It's too old, too new?
• 15:14
  Whatever. Come on, we're still, we're
• 15:18
  still trying to figure out if, if, if PS3 games are vintage.
• 15:22
  Dude, I mean by the 10 year standard PS4 is retro.
• 15:27
  So I mean rezzo gun right? I mean, that game is a retro
• 15:31
  game now, so put on your retro socks there, man.
• 15:38
  What a Rezo gun. What a what a what an awesome
• 15:42
  game. We just talked about Rezo gun
• 15:44
  for like an hour. Game was awesome.
• 15:47
  No people, dude, people would turn us off so fast.
• 15:49
  So fast. Yeah, but what about, what about
• 15:53
  you, Ron? What are you?
• 15:54
  What have you been playing doing?
• 15:56
  You said you've been playing some retro games.
• 15:57
  Speaking of old NES games. I took a week off of pro gaming.
• 16:02
  Like, I mean, I didn't play when I say, when I say, when I say
• 16:05
  pro gaming, I mean I took a week off from playing anything that's
• 16:08
  considered a a current or a current or a let's put it this
• 16:13
  way. If the game, if the if the game
• 16:16
  file size was bigger than 200 kilobytes, I wasn't playing it.
• 16:22
  This this past week I was playing a whole bunch of I was
• 16:26
  playing a whole bunch of old school games via emulator, you
• 16:28
  know, on my ROG Ally because because like I just, I just
• 16:34
  needed, I just needed like just senseless play, you know,
• 16:38
  without using a whole bunch of like, you know, like brain power
• 16:41
  and stuff like that. Not saying you know, like I'm
• 16:43
  stupid and I don't I don't like I don't like playing games that
• 16:46
  challenge me. I love playing games that
• 16:48
  challenge me, but I just needed something different.
• 16:50
  I play any Tekken this past week.
• 16:51
  I didn't play any monster hunters last week.
• 16:53
  I didn't play any front mission this past week, even though
• 16:56
  front missions like please beat me.
• 16:58
  Front missions like will you please turn me on and just
• 17:01
  finish these last few missions? You have to do, you know?
• 17:05
  Yeah, yeah. I've, I've been playing a whole
• 17:07
  bunch of Barnett Commando Ghouls and Ghosts.
• 17:09
  Even plays the Super Ghouls and Ghosts.
• 17:10
  I don't know why. I don't know why.
• 17:12
  Like Super Ghouls and Ghosts is the one Ghouls and Ghosts game
• 17:14
  that I have not beaten because that game is way too damn hard.
• 17:18
  Play Contra, played, played the GB.
• 17:21
  As for Mario Brothers 20 mission.
• 17:24
  I, I, I actually blame you because you're on this, you've
• 17:27
  been on this Metroid Bender and I was like, I want to play an
• 17:29
  old school Metroid game. So yeah, I was called, even
• 17:34
  played NES Tetris in which, Oh my God, I forgot, I forgot how
• 17:38
  good I was in that game because like I was just playing and all
• 17:41
  of a sudden next, you know, like I'm just, I'm just playing, I'm
• 17:43
  looking, I'm like, holy crap, I'm on level 17.
• 17:48
  I forgot how good I was in that game.
• 17:51
  Oh man. Yeah.
• 17:52
  So just just good times, good vibes with with old school
• 17:55
  games. Of course I played, of course I
• 17:59
  played Mega Man's 2-3 and four, of course, you know, and yeah,
• 18:05
  that was that was pretty much it.
• 18:07
  Like I just it was a palate cleanser week for me as far as
• 18:11
  gaming goes. And if we're talking about, you
• 18:15
  know, we're talking about TV shows.
• 18:17
  I'm still trying to finish the first season of that show
• 18:19
  Paradise with Sterling K Brown and James Marsden.
• 18:24
  Basically, basically, I'm pretty sure some of our listeners are
• 18:28
  probably probably know what I'm talking about.
• 18:30
  But basically it's basically it's a plus apocalyptic show
• 18:33
  and, and the and the series of events around the first, the
• 18:37
  first season are are trying to investigate who killed the
• 18:41
  president of the United States. You know of what's left of the
• 18:44
  United States basically. And then there's a show like,
• 18:48
  like, you know who Gindi Tarkovsky is?
• 18:51
  No, I have no idea. Creator samurai Jack powerpuff
• 18:56
  girls the Star Wars, clone wars and like the actual cartoon
• 19:02
  series that one man samurai Jack you.
• 19:06
  Still look? Oh, good.
• 19:09
  That's it. I was just, yeah, that show,
• 19:10
  that's all. Sorry.
• 19:12
  OK, I started watching the first season of his current show
• 19:15
  called Primal. Primal's on.
• 19:17
  Is it on three seasons or Four Seasons?
• 19:19
  Right now? I think it's on three seasons.
• 19:23
  Three seasons? Yeah, it's on three seasons
• 19:25
  right now. I started watching that.
• 19:26
  Primal is OK. OK, so first thing to know about
• 19:29
  Primal, there is no spoken dialogue in this show.
• 19:34
  It follows. It follows A Neanderthal slash
• 19:36
  caveman and A and and I'm going to say I'm not going to say it's
• 19:41
  pet dinosaur because I don't know if that really gives it.
• 19:44
  He's got dinosaur companion and they're just roaming the land,
• 19:47
  you know, and stuff like that. You know, like a series of
• 19:49
  tragic events bring both of them together and they're just
• 19:52
  roaming the land trying to survive.
• 19:54
  And like I said, no spoken dialogue.
• 19:57
  So it's one of those shows, it's one of those shows where you
• 20:00
  legit need to be paying attention.
• 20:01
  Like you, you cannot, you cannot be second screening this, you
• 20:05
  know, on your phone or what not, you know, like you need to pay
• 20:08
  attention to this because like with no spoken dialogue, it
• 20:10
  means like everything is an actionable moment that you know,
• 20:13
  like you could, you could miss something and then like, you
• 20:16
  know, you put your eyes back on. It's like, what the hell did I
• 20:18
  just what the what did I just miss?
• 20:19
  What happened, you know? It's good, it's good and and
• 20:24
  it's a is technically an Adult Swim show.
• 20:27
  So so it's also it's so like if it I think, I think it's on, I
• 20:35
  think it's on HBO Max. I believe it is.
• 20:37
  I believe it is, but it's an Adult Swim show and the
• 20:42
  episodes, it's each season is like 10 episodes long.
• 20:44
  So, you know, 10 episode, 10 episodes, like, you know, like
• 20:47
  less than 30 minutes an episode and stuff like that.
• 20:49
  Like, you know, like it's easily benchable.
• 20:51
  Like like season 3 just ended and I just started season 1 not
• 20:55
  too long ago. And yeah, like it's, it's, it's
• 20:57
  fun. It's amazing.
• 21:01
  And those, that's what I've been, that's I, I told myself
• 21:05
  I'm going to start the new season of The Boys, but I
• 21:08
  haven't done that yet. Even our third episode just
• 21:10
  dropped. But yeah, that's where I'm at,
• 21:13
  right? Now, yeah, I thought about, you
• 21:16
  know, I thought about like sucking it up and just watching
• 21:18
  the boys, but man, I don't know. I'm, I'm, I'm struggling to like
• 21:25
  find the, the juice to watch it, you know?
• 21:28
  The. Juice yeah.
• 21:30
  I don't know. I, I'm like, I, I feel like I
• 21:32
  have to be in the mood to watch something that's violent and I
• 21:35
  don't know if I can do that right now, which sucks because I
• 21:40
  really like the premise of the show.
• 21:42
  Like I think the premise is an awesome premise, but like.
• 21:46
  Oh, the premise of the show is amazing.
• 21:47
  I mean, you know, and, and the crazy part is, is that is just
• 21:51
  that, you know, like people are just now starting to figure out
• 21:53
  like the narrative of it. And I'm like, I was like, yo,
• 21:56
  you didn't get the narrative of it from the first season.
• 21:59
  Right, Man, I don't know, I just I see like all the memes and I
• 22:03
  see all the action shots and like, I, I like, I think Karl
• 22:06
  Urban is awesome. Like I just, yeah, I can't
• 22:10
  muster up the gut to watch it, you know, and maybe that maybe
• 22:15
  that just says a lot about me. It's.
• 22:17
  It's because the it's the gore, right?
• 22:19
  Yeah. The gore, yeah.
• 22:22
  Yeah, it's just like I'm not into like the the over overly
• 22:27
  gory stuff, you know, like. I'm not big on gore either.
• 22:30
  So like, there are literally times I'm like when I'm sitting
• 22:33
  here, like literally like cringing, you know, in the on
• 22:37
  the couch or like, you know, if I'm watching in the bedroom on,
• 22:39
  you know, in the bedroom, like, oh, you know, like, oh, you
• 22:43
  know, I've learned, I've learned I cannot be eating anything, you
• 22:47
  know, like not I can't even eat like a like have a bag of chips
• 22:49
  eating while I'm watching the boys because like there's a
• 22:52
  chance like I'm either going to choke on it.
• 22:53
  I'm like, God, like it's going to spew out my mouth or out my
• 22:56
  nose or whatnot, or, or I might throw up.
• 22:58
  You know, I'm not the best with gore either.
• 23:01
  Gore. It's weird because like because
• 23:04
  like I'm ex military so you know, I've seen my fair share of
• 23:08
  like real life, you know, like accidents and stuff like that,
• 23:10
  right? Yeah.
• 23:12
  But for some strange reason simulated gore and body horror
• 23:15
  on ATV screen or a movie screen messes me up every time.
• 23:19
  Yeah, yeah, I think that's what it is too.
• 23:22
  Like it's funny because like I was actually like I was I was we
• 23:29
  were talking about Resident Evil a couple weeks ago, right?
• 23:31
  I forget what show we were talking about on.
• 23:33
  It's probably this show, but one of these shows, one of these
• 23:36
  850,000 podcasts we do and like IA lot of the it's not.
• 23:42
  I'm going to be honest with you. A lot of the reason why I don't
• 23:45
  play Resident Evil is because of the like gore stuff.
• 23:49
  And then I know it's not even really that gory of a game, but
• 23:51
  like, it's not even like the the scare factor.
• 23:55
  Compared to Dead Space, yeah, Resident Evil is not that gory.
• 23:58
  Yeah, I know. But still, there's something
• 23:59
  about like it's that it's that atmosphere where it's like
• 24:03
  dirty, ugly and not necessarily gore.
• 24:07
  I don't know what the I don't know what the word is for it,
• 24:10
  but like that dirty, grungy gore kind of thing, you know, like, I
• 24:15
  don't know, I'm a fan of clean gore.
• 24:19
  I got. Clean Gore.
• 24:21
  You mean basically where you just see like someone gets stuck
• 24:24
  by a sword, they get shot and that, you know, that's it?
• 24:27
  No, no, I mean like in Resident Evil you have like these ugly
• 24:30
  monsters that are like they have like all this weird like bodily
• 24:35
  fluids coming out of them. That's not necessarily blood,
• 24:37
  but it's like, I don't know if it's sweat or like toxic goo or
• 24:42
  whatever. And like bubbly, like bubbly
• 24:45
  faces and like, I don't know, man.
• 24:48
  There's just, I don't know, man. It's just, it's stuff like that.
• 24:53
  But also like in the boys when like someone explodes, like in
• 24:57
  blood sprays everywhere. It is the most it is the most
• 25:01
  like I want to say graphic, but graphic doesn't even describe it
• 25:05
  is the IT is the most spectacular thing in the boys.
• 25:10
  Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And it's like, I don't know,
• 25:12
  man. I, I again, I want to like it, I
• 25:15
  really do. But I don't know, Speaking of
• 25:25
  Speaking of Gore and not Gore Marathon still good, in case
• 25:31
  anybody cared. I was.
• 25:33
  I'm not really going to talk about it because I feel like
• 25:35
  I've talked enough about it, but it's still really good.
• 25:38
  It's Oh my gosh, it's so good. I'm not even playing the game
• 25:44
  how you're supposed to play it either.
• 25:45
  I'm like, I'm running through the levels, like look like
• 25:47
  finding the terminals and like reading the lore and I'm doing
• 25:50
  the contracts that you get in the game because I wanted to
• 25:53
  like know the the, you know, I want to get the net that next
• 25:59
  cutscene to get more lore, to get more story to like move on.
• 26:05
  Isn't nothing wrong with that? I know it's just I'm not even,
• 26:08
  I'm not even trying to play it the way that it's supposed to be
• 26:10
  played. I mean, like most of the time,
• 26:14
  though, I'm like playing mostly by myself because I'd, I just
• 26:18
  don't have the time to, Hey, what are you doing?
• 26:21
  Let's set up, let's find a third.
• 26:23
  Let's, you know, plan out our night.
• 26:24
  I just don't have that kind of time.
• 26:26
  You know, I'm, I'm a busy guy that Ron.
• 26:28
  I don't, I don't know if you know this.
• 26:29
  I'm just a busy person. Aren't we all busy?
• 26:34
  Yeah. So that's, again, that's kind of
• 26:38
  where I'm at with that. So I am, however, playing Disney
• 26:46

• 27:00
  I'm the the, I, the Switch 2 version, man.
• 27:05
  Oh my gosh. Anybody who plays that Switch
• 27:06

• 40:10
  Yeah, trust me, Trust me. Like if you've been if if
• 40:14

• 40:16
  you never know what people are. Oh, wait, wait, wait.
• 40:18
  We're not talking about. We're not talking about that
• 40:20
  stuff. I'm sorry.
• 40:23
  I. Mean you just never know.
• 40:26
  If you need to, I mean if you need to, Laurent, if you have
• 40:28
  something you need to say just. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 40:33
  no. I'm into.
• 40:34
  I'm into it all. Actually.
• 40:36
  No, not really. Not really.
• 40:38
  That's there are some. There are some things that are a
• 40:40
  hard no for me. That's what she said.
• 40:46
  Man, I don't even know where to go from there.
• 40:48
  Like. Like like time to say no What
• 40:51
  the? Heck, oh boy.
• 40:53
  Oh well. Speaking of Speaking of no,
• 40:56
  Speaking of no, Leron, we we have a we have a lot of weird
• 41:01
  topics tonight. Hey guys, shocking We're talking
• 41:03
  about Xbox not knowing what to do, but I feel like we're going
• 41:07
  in a more. I don't want to say positive
• 41:12
  direction, but this is like a well, we'll we'll just get into
• 41:16
  it. Xbox seems to be changing course
• 41:18
  on a lot of things and we gotta we gotta talk about it Loron,
• 41:22
  because it's gonna affect more than just Xbox or more than
• 41:26
  yeah, more than just Xbox players.
• 41:27
  So. Yeah, let's let's get into it.
• 41:31
  Xbox Leron, tell me what you've heard this before.
• 41:34
  Xbox reportedly debating about exclusive about exclusive
• 41:40
  exclusivity, but more importantly, they're debating a
• 41:43
  return of exclusives to the platform.
• 41:46
  Xbox might be rethinking it's all platform strategy in a big
• 41:49
  way. According to comments from Jess
• 41:51
  Corden on the Xbox Two podcast, Xbox is having a major internal
• 41:56
  discussions about bringing back exclusive games.
• 41:59
  Since taking over as CEO, Asha Sharma has been focused on
• 42:03
  rebuilding the brand, even acknowledging concerns like the
• 42:06
  cost of Xbox Game Pass, which we'll get into in a little bit.
• 42:10
  The report The report talks highlight a bigger identity
• 42:17
  question. Should Xbox prioritize Beacon on
• 42:22
  an ecosystem that reaches every platform, or return to the
• 42:25
  traditional model with exclusives like Nintendo and
• 42:28
  PlayStation? Obviously, no decisions have
• 42:31
  been confirmed yet, but a shift could signal a major change in
• 42:35
  Xbox's previous strategy. Laron, Guess what?
• 42:42
  Exclusives. Some say it might be important a
• 42:46
  little bit. Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm one of
• 42:50
  those people that say exclusives are important.
• 42:52
  Yeah, I have, I have, I have thoughts on this like #1 like,
• 42:59
  you know, like it's nice. It's nice to know that they're
• 43:02
  entertaining this, you know, finally, I, I, I, I feel like,
• 43:08
  I, I feel like, I feel like Microsoft is dealing from
• 43:10
  reckoning with their Xbox division.
• 43:12
  And, and it didn't and, and it, and it started way before like,
• 43:16
  you know, like they ousted Phil and, and Sarah, you know, it, it
• 43:19
  started way beyond that. You know, they just, I, I think
• 43:23
  they figured that Phil and Sarah could be the fall guys for like
• 43:25
  whatever course correction trajectory they want to like put
• 43:28
  it on. Now.
• 43:30
  I'm always gonna say Sarah Bond was done wrong because of just
• 43:34
  just the, the way she disappeared.
• 43:37
  Something, something fishy about that.
• 43:38
  There is. Something very fishy about that
• 43:40
  that I'm interested to see how that comes out in the next
• 43:43
  couple of years. I'm sure a story will come out
• 43:46
  in the next. Couple.
• 43:46
  Yeah, a story is gonna come out and I and I can't wait.
• 43:49
  I can't wait. Yeah.
• 43:51
  And and and I'm gonna keep, I'm gonna keep saying what we've
• 43:54
  been saying here at Boss Rush. We have no ill will towards
• 43:58
  Oscar Sharma. Like she's she's been thrust
• 44:00
  into a not an impossible situation, but but a precarious
• 44:04
  situation. Let's put it that way.
• 44:05
  You know, stuff like that, you know?
• 44:06
  I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna say something a
• 44:08
  little. This might be a hot take, Laron.
• 44:11
  Yeah, go for it. I think.
• 44:13
  I think some of the, at least the conversations that have been
• 44:17
  brought up like this one and the Game Pass one, and, you know,
• 44:23
  some of the these other things revolving around the Xbox.
• 44:28
  I, I, I think she's, I think she's getting off on the right
• 44:31
  foot. Yeah.
• 44:32
  Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 44:33
  No, I'm. Oh, I'm not condemning any of
• 44:36
  this, honestly. No, I know, but the the Internet
• 44:39
  will. Oh yeah, I I guess you're right
• 44:41
  about that. But here's the here's the thing
• 44:43
  about it. Like Xbox needs a gaming
• 44:47
  identity because game pass is not a gaming identity.
• 44:51
  Game pass. The only way game pass can be a
• 44:53
  gaming identity for Xbox is if it's the only if it's only Xbox
• 44:58
  titles that get on this. No third party titles, no
• 45:02
  random, no random We're just going to pull games from, you
• 45:04
  know, somewhere some other space.
• 45:06
  You know what, not, you know, the only way Xbox, Xbox game
• 45:09
  pass could could be, you know, a, a identifier for Microsoft
• 45:15
  and the Xbox brand is if it only has Xbox games on there, you
• 45:20
  know, and Microsoft, Well, that, you know, there are days when I
• 45:24
  question like, you know, all the acquisitions and all that stuff
• 45:27
  like not just Microsoft made, but but you know, like all these
• 45:29
  companies made, you know, as far as like that, you know, but you
• 45:33
  know, like historically speaking, like a lot of these
• 45:36
  games, a lot of these games, Call of Duty is never, no one's
• 45:38
  ever going to look at Call of Duty and say, Oh, it's just an
• 45:40
  Xbox game. No one's ever going to do that.
• 45:42
  No one's ever going to look at a lot of like Fallout and say, oh,
• 45:45
  it's just an Xbox game. Well, not now, not now.
• 45:48
  I'd say maybe in 2025 years, it could be like, oh, Fallout's
• 45:51
  just an Xbox game, you know, because it's not the place it
• 45:53
  has been for the last 25 years, except for the fact that, you
• 45:56
  know, like it winds up not being exclusive after, you know, a set
• 46:00
  amount of time, you know, Yep. So like that, you know, but
• 46:04
  yeah, like, you know, like Microsoft has, Microsoft has a
• 46:09
  very nice library of games that were always considered to be
• 46:13
  Xbox titles. And just because like a lot of
• 46:15
  these titles are now multi platform doesn't mean that
• 46:18
  they're not Xbox titles. But I do feel like, you know,
• 46:20
  like, as far as like having an identity, they need to have like
• 46:23
  their own died in the wool exclusives.
• 46:25
  I don't care if the games, if the games wind up coming out on
• 46:28
  a, on a, on a, on a secondary platform one or two years after
• 46:32
  launch, that's fine, You know, because like I said, it won't
• 46:36
  hurt the identity of, of Xbox, you know, 'cause everybody be
• 46:40
  like, oh, the only place to play this at right now is on the
• 46:42
  Xbox. You know, just like the only
• 46:44
  place to play these games right now for PlayStation games is on
• 46:47
  PlayStation. And apparently they're rolling
• 46:49
  that back to where you can't get them on PC anymore.
• 46:51
  So yeah, he's back to PlayStation, you know, and which
• 46:56
  that's another thing that grinds my gears.
• 46:57
  And we're talking about Xbox right now, but for but for Sony
• 47:00
  to pivot out of their their their PC multi platform plan and
• 47:05
  then put it all back in house and then charging us more money
• 47:09
  for the consoles. That's bullshit.
• 47:11
  That's real bullshit. I mean, I feel like, I feel like
• 47:18
  there's a lot. There's so much.
• 47:20
  I mean, again, this is just a conversation they're having
• 47:23
  internally. Supposedly, there's no.
• 47:26
  Yeah, I know. I.
• 47:27
  Know, I think. I guess I am getting, I guess I
• 47:30
  am putting the cart before the horse here because, because like
• 47:33
  there could be a press release next week.
• 47:34
  Like we don't know what y'all were talking about.
• 47:36
  Like y'all need to stop making up news.
• 47:38
  No, I, I, I know, you know, I, I'm talking to the, the
• 47:41
  listeners out there, right? Like I'm just reconfirming that.
• 47:44
  But also, like I see our friends, some of our friends who
• 47:48
  are, you know, in, in the Xbox space and and you know, our
• 47:54
  friend of show Lord Cognito, that Iron Lord's got a big
• 47:59
  package from Xbox this week for Project Helix.
• 48:03
  And a lot of influencers are getting those now, right?
• 48:06
  Like. That's amazing.
• 48:07
  Why we need to be more influential so we.
• 48:10
  Can yeah, so we can get this shit.
• 48:11
  I I know I'll, I'll get, I'll work on it, yeah.
• 48:16
  It's I was working on. It and then PR person left and
• 48:20
  then the other person just decided they didn't want to talk
• 48:23
  to me. So anyways, like I, I feel like
• 48:29
  exclusives are what makes I know that they aren't always the best
• 48:36
  selling games unless you're Nintendo, but like they are the
• 48:40
  thing that makes certain boxes worth having.
• 48:43
  You know, I mean, how, how many people?
• 48:46
  I mean, how, how many, how many quarters did we see Xbox report
• 48:50
  their sales numbers like, oh, we're down, you know, double
• 48:54
  digit year over, you know, quarter over quarter year over
• 48:57
  year, you know, like 20 percent, 30%, not like 11% or 10% like
• 49:02
  3040%. You know, to the point where
• 49:05
  like they're selling like maybe 10s of thousands of units 1/4
• 49:10
  worldwide. Like that's awful.
• 49:15
  That's terrible, man. Like you, you know what I mean?
• 49:17
  Like I, and it's because of the this is the an Xbox campaign.
• 49:22
  I'm telling like, I mean, Xbox was doing bad before that, not
• 49:27
  bad. But you know, they, they were,
• 49:31
  they weren't selling what they thought they would.
• 49:33
  But then then that came out and it's like, well, why would I buy
• 49:36
  an Xbox? You know, I mean, we've had that
• 49:38
  conversation like 4-3 or four times on this.
• 49:40
  So like, I'm, I don't know if I should invest in my Xbox
• 49:42
  anymore. That I mean, that's why I have
• 49:44
  my PlayStation around still, right?
• 49:45
  It's like, yeah, I'm going to, if I'm going to buy a game,
• 49:48
  it'll probably be there, you know, but now, like, you know,
• 49:53
  if they're really, if they're serious about bringing
• 49:56
  exclusives back and like, and again, like, I don't really care
• 50:02
  that much about where these games are.
• 50:04
  But like, I think it's important to ecosystems to have those
• 50:10
  games, right? You can't play God of War on an
• 50:12
  Xbox. You can't play Mario on a
• 50:16
  PlayStation, right? Like these things matter.
• 50:20
  They matter to the fan base, they matter to the platform,
• 50:22
  they matter to sales, they matter to getting certain people
• 50:24
  into into these ecosystems. And you know, if you want to do
• 50:30
  the whole PC thing, sure, fine, whatever.
• 50:34
  But like a lot of the fan base is still the console base and a
• 50:41
  lot of people don't want to be PC gamers.
• 50:43
  Like I know that that's like unpopular in the gamer space,
• 50:47
  right, because like everybody's like, well, why don't you just
• 50:51
  build APC play on PC Like you and I have talked about this
• 50:55
  quite a few times. That's why the steam machine was
• 50:57
  so appealing, right? Was like, oh, it's like kind of
• 51:00
  PC gaming, but kind of a console and that is enticing.
• 51:04
  That's why the steam deck is enticing.
• 51:06
  You know, like that's why these things are, are really
• 51:10
  interesting. Interesting to me is because
• 51:12
  like, yeah, technically it's PC gaming.
• 51:14
  And once they figure it out, like you can play everything
• 51:16
  there, but now you can't, you can't play PlayStation games
• 51:18
  there anymore except for the ones that are already out.
• 51:23
  So yeah. It's such a shame.
• 51:25
  It's such a shame too, because I mean, like, it puts me in those,
• 51:29
  It put me in this weird, this this weird dynamic where like,
• 51:31
  you know, like, yeah, I was. Going to have an awkward
• 51:35
  conversation with his PS 5 when? Wolverine comes out like like
• 51:40
  like baby, take me back, hey. All those things I said did.
• 51:48
  I'm sorry. Yeah, like, yeah, my yeah, my
• 51:52
  PS-5 is legit gonna be like you, you, you.
• 51:55
  You're taking your tail and tucked it between your legs now,
• 51:57
  huh? Man had plenty of those
• 52:02
  conversations. Oh man, I mean to be fair.
• 52:08
  I'm going to have that with my Xbox if this is true so.
• 52:12
  But I do agree any, any shift, any shift in the narrative for
• 52:16
  Xbox and exclusives, you know, could signal a major change in
• 52:19
  like Microsoft and Xbox's long term strategy.
• 52:22
  And you know what? You know what I have, I've lived
• 52:27
  long enough that I've seen, I've seen quite a few consoles crash
• 52:31
  and burn. We don't have, we don't have
• 52:34
  Atari anymore. We don't have Coleco anymore.
• 52:37
  We don't have in television anymore.
• 52:38
  We don't have Turbo graphics anymore.
• 52:40
  We don't have Neo Geo anymore. We don't have anything from Sega
• 52:46
  anymore. And this is and this is, this is
• 52:50
  console hardware ecosystems, you know, I've lived, I've lived
• 52:56
  through a lot of like, you know, like like, like, like dead ends,
• 52:59
  you know, happening from, you know, in the video game business
• 53:03
  as far as hardware goes. Now, I'm not saying I'm not
• 53:06
  saying some of the ones I just read it off should should still
• 53:08
  be thriving and kicking, you know, but what I am saying is
• 53:13
  that, you know, like I'm not ready to see another, another
• 53:17
  blockbuster brand disappear. I'm not ready for that.
• 53:22
  Even though I'm not the biggest Xbox gamer, you know, like I am,
• 53:27
  I am APC gamer and you know, like I feel like the heart of
• 53:30
  their games are always going to be on PC.
• 53:32
  But the but even though like I haven't bought an Xbox since
• 53:36
  360, like I am not trying to see.
• 53:39
  I'm not trying to see us, you know, at a time where like
• 53:42
  another blockbuster brand just, like, disappears, you know,
• 53:46
  like, just like Thanos snaps and he's gone, you know?
• 53:49
  Yeah, I, I feel like, I mean, I don't know if you saw some of
• 53:58
  these interviews floating around.
• 53:59
  Shout out to, you know, again, Lords of Gaming and our friend
• 54:04
  Luke Lore over at expansion Pass.
• 54:06
  And a lot of these Xbox interviews are floating around,
• 54:11
  you know, about what's kind of happening over there and like
• 54:15
  it's what exclusives mean to to the console.
• 54:18
  And I mean, we've gotten so many great franchises out of Xbox,
• 54:23
  like Halo and and and Fable and gears.
• 54:28
  And I mean, Knights of the little Republic was an Xbox
• 54:31
  exclusive. I think people kind of forget
• 54:33
  that sometimes, you know, I mean, another Star Wars game was
• 54:38
  Republic Commando. I don't know, I don't know if
• 54:40
  you played that game or not Loron, but it's it's an awesome
• 54:42
  like first person shooter, you know, odd world strangers Wrath
• 54:47
  was an awesome game that I really loved.
• 54:52
  I know people like to make fun of it, but Fusion Frenzy, like
• 54:55
  was really like the only Mario Party competitor, you know,
• 54:58
  like. Oh man.
• 55:00
  I'm not saying it was a good game, but I'm saying like it was
• 55:02
  like the only true Mario Party competitor.
• 55:04
  We got the Speaking of Mario Party, we got those stupid
• 55:07
  Burger King games, which like, I know again, people like to point
• 55:10
  out and make fun of, but like, sneaking was like a legitimately
• 55:13
  good game. Yeah.
• 55:18
  You know, Forza came out of there.
• 55:21
  We we got exclusive RP GS like lost odyssey and and blue dragon
• 55:25
  and eternal Sonata and we I mean they had an exclusive tails
• 55:29
  game, which was unheard of at the time, right.
• 55:31
  Like it's Xbox. I I feel like Xbox has done a
• 55:35
  lot of good for the industry too.
• 55:37
  Like I mean that the Xbox Live was like revolutionary.
• 55:41
  You know that launching a box in 2001 with the an Ethernet only
• 55:45
  port was like might as well just, I don't know, gave
• 55:52
  everybody their money back. But when you have something
• 55:55
  like, you know, Halo or Rainbow 6 or something like that to play
• 55:59
  online, like it's, you know, they did a lot of great things,
• 56:02
  I feel like. So I don't know, I'm not saying
• 56:07
  Xbox is going to turn around and like win quote UN quote the
• 56:10
  console war or anything. But I feel like if he could
• 56:12
  sustain a player base of like 30 or 40 million players over the
• 56:20
  course of a generation and have Game Pass, that's, that's a
• 56:23
  feasible option which we're going to get into in a second.
• 56:26
  I might as well just read it now.
• 56:28
  Xbox is admitting what a lot of players have been saying for a
• 56:32
  while. Asha Sharma, the CEO at Xbox,
• 56:35
  says Xbox Game Pass is no longer a great value or no longer the
• 56:40
  great value it once was, calling it too expensive.
• 56:42
  And a message to employees reported by The Verge.
• 56:47
  She noted that while Game Pass is still central to Xbox, the
• 56:49
  current model needs to evolve with plans for a more flexible
• 56:54
  system in the future. Rumors suggest possible new
• 56:56
  tiers, including one focused on 1st party only titles and
• 57:00
  changes to day one releases like Call of Duty, despite despite
• 57:04
  recent price hikes. It's unclear if lowering the
• 57:06
  cost is on the table, but it sounds like some changes to Game
• 57:12
  Pass are coming in the near future.
• 57:15
  Now why wouldn't they lower the cost?
• 57:16
  But they were introduced a new tier that basically is like
• 57:20
  gatekeeping that. That makes zero sense to me.
• 57:24
  I mean, I feel like so the, the the other rumor around this too
• 57:28
  that came out earlier maybe today or yesterday or something,
• 57:31
  was that they're going to remove that Call of Duty from Game Pass
• 57:34
  entirely because they lost so much money last year.
• 57:40
  Didn't we predict that was going to happen?
• 57:42
  I mean, yeah, we talked about that when they acquired
• 57:44
  Activision Blizzard. Like, are they going to put Call
• 57:46
  of Duty? It'd be a bad idea if they left,
• 57:48
  you know, like, I don't know, 1/4 of their revenue on the
• 57:52
  table. But that's.
• 57:54
  Yeah, I mean, you know, OK. You know what?
• 57:57
  We can probably blame this on Phil Spencer.
• 58:01
  Well, yeah, it probably, I feel like, I feel like no.
• 58:07
  Well, Phil, I've from what's come out, what we've talked
• 58:10
  about on Xbox casuals is that Phil didn't want Activision
• 58:13
  Blizzard. This was a oh.
• 58:15
  I wasn't aware of that. This was a Microsoft and Sarah
• 58:19
  Bond push from what we've been hearing, so.
• 58:25
  Well, see now why you got from a girl's naming your mouth like
• 58:27
  that. I.
• 58:28
  I just saying what was reported, you can talk to Tom Warren.
• 58:32
  Because I love me. I love me some Sarah Bond.
• 58:35
  I, I, I love her. I mean, you know what, You know
• 58:40
  what? Lebron's not always a shill.
• 58:42
  But if Lebron's going to shill for somebody, it's going to be
• 58:44
  Sarah Bond. You know, I, I think Phil wanted
• 58:51
  to keep buying studios like, you know, like Double Fine and Ninja
• 58:55
  Theory and, you know, these smaller studios that could like
• 58:59
  put content on Game Pass that maybe you wouldn't sell a
• 59:01
  million units, but would be a great addition to Game Pass.
• 59:04
  And like Bethesda was like obviously a huge acquisition.
• 59:09
  I believe one of our old Arsenal X episodes was called Phil slams
• 59:18
  his $7 billion Dick on the table or something.
• 59:21
  Pretty sure that was it. I'm pretty sure that was that
• 59:23
  was said in an episode. I'm not sure if that was the
• 59:25
  episode title or not, but it was it.
• 59:27
  It was definitely said. Maybe I.
• 59:32
  I Josh said that why do I have a funny feeling?
• 59:37
  I mean, who knows, who can say, it's not like it's on the
• 59:41
  Internet, but I, I actually think some of these changes
• 59:48
  sound really cool. Like I would, I would actually
• 59:52
  think AI think a first party only tier would actually be
• 59:55
  really cool, especially if you're APC gamer, right?
• 1:00:00
  Like I mean, how often are you buying games through the
• 1:00:05
  Microsoft Store? You know what I mean?
• 1:00:08
  You're right. I mean, you're APC person like
• 1:00:10
  you're, you're going through steam 99 out of 100 times you're
• 1:00:13
  going to steam so oh. Yeah, thanks for your reminder.
• 1:00:16
  Let me see, what the epic? The free epic.
• 1:00:18
  Oh. Gosh, here we are.
• 1:00:21
  Don't download them. You're every time you download a
• 1:00:24
  game, someone loses their job. I don't.
• 1:00:28
  Know that was a bad joke. I'm sorry it's really mean but
• 1:00:33
  also they are paying. Because I download I I well,
• 1:00:35
  here's the thing about I download them, but I don't play
• 1:00:37
  them. But so what's that say about me?
• 1:00:39
  I mean, add them to your library.
• 1:00:42
  You can always play them later. That's what they that's what
• 1:00:44
  they always say, right? So.
• 1:00:46
  Well, damn near every game that's on like the Epic Game
• 1:00:48
  Store is playable in the wrong ally.
• 1:00:50
  So, you know, and I think that's the main reason why I do it,
• 1:00:52
  just so I have like a prebuilt library.
• 1:00:55
  Yeah, I mean, why not if they're giving them away for free, you
• 1:00:58
  know? Oh.
• 1:00:59
  I don't. Well, I just looked.
• 1:01:00
  I don't want any of these games. Sure you do.
• 1:01:02
  Wait, Prop Sumo. Is that what?
• 1:01:06
  That's the that's the free game for this week.
• 1:01:07
  Hold on, Prop Sumo. What is that?
• 1:01:10
  Oh, never mind. I'm not gonna.
• 1:01:12
  This is, this is like, this is like Smash Brothers, and we all
• 1:01:14
  know how I feel about that. You love Smash Brothers.
• 1:01:17
  I am. Lauren loves to smash, you know
• 1:01:20
  what I mean? Let.
• 1:01:21
  Me, go ahead and let me just go ahead and add it to the library.
• 1:01:24
  They don't call it Master home for nothing, Lauren.
• 1:01:29
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, Game Pass has become too expensive.
• 1:01:36
  Now the problem is, is that the problem is and this and this
• 1:01:38
  whole like synopsis says it like this doesn't mean that they're
• 1:01:42
  going to change the price and like lower the price of it.
• 1:01:44
  It does not mean that it just it just says that hey, like, you
• 1:01:47
  know, like we have AI don't even know this is a chicken and the
• 1:01:50
  egg problem at this point. Now I feel like this is a, this
• 1:01:53
  is a we, we were laying bricks down and we actually bricked
• 1:01:57
  ourselves into the wall. Yeah, I mean, I lowered my
• 1:02:01
  subscription and I actually cancelled my subscription until
• 1:02:03
  Marathon came out because it's a paid game.
• 1:02:05
  You need Xbox Game Pass to play online.
• 1:02:09
  But I, but I, I subscribe to the core, whatever the core version
• 1:02:12
  is the lowest tier, which is like the one that's required to
• 1:02:16
  play online. So, but yeah, I mean, I can't, I
• 1:02:20
  cancelled it $30.00 a month to like, I mean, I don't have time
• 1:02:23
  to play that many games, you know, like that's, that's a lot
• 1:02:26
  of games for. Dude, I'm trying to tell you
• 1:02:29
  like shit, there's some days I'm looking at this $18.00 a month
• 1:02:31
  and I'm like, what's going? The only reason why I still have
• 1:02:34
  PC Game Pass right now is because, like, thanks to my job,
• 1:02:37
  I, I every now and then I, I get, I get, I get free one to
• 1:02:41
  three month, you know, vouchers, you know, because I build
• 1:02:44
  computers and stuff like that, you know, and, and, and yeah, I
• 1:02:47
  get those vouchers, you know, for like activations and all
• 1:02:50
  stuff. So, you know, like I, you know,
• 1:02:53
  and, and, and before anybody comes at me, like, no, it's not
• 1:02:56
  gaming computers. Like this is just workstations
• 1:02:59
  for, for, for people that work a corporate job that are not
• 1:03:03
  supposed to be doing any type of game Pass bullshit at work.
• 1:03:06
  So, yeah, but that's a kick. That's a kickback for me.
• 1:03:10
  Because like, you know, like my company, we are also licensed
• 1:03:13
  Microsoft vendors. Yeah.
• 1:03:16
  So it's like, you know, again, I still think Game Pass is a great
• 1:03:21
  deal if you have the time to play all these games and if
• 1:03:24
  you're into a variety of games. But if you're like the person
• 1:03:28
  who buys two or three games a year, like the Madden, Call of
• 1:03:31
  Duty and maybe one other game, you know?
• 1:03:34
  It's not for you, just just buy the game.
• 1:03:36
  It's not, you know, and, and it's like I understand that and
• 1:03:39
  I feel like, I feel like, I feel like Xbox has to understand that
• 1:03:44
  too. Like that, like not, you know,
• 1:03:47
  I, I feel like, let me back up a minute.
• 1:03:51
  When they introduced the idea of Game Pass and so they wanted a
• 1:03:55
  like 100 million subscribers in the next decade or whatever.
• 1:03:58
  Like in 21 of they introduced Game Pass 20181917 somewhere in
• 1:04:03
  there. I think 17.
• 1:04:06
  And it's like, that is 100% unreasonable.
• 1:04:09
  Not like everybody who plays games does not play games like
• 1:04:12
  that, you know? Right.
• 1:04:15
  I mean, you have your mobile gamers, you have your, you know,
• 1:04:19
  Call of Duty gamers, you have your, you know, your Fortnite
• 1:04:22
  and Minecraft kids. Like, you know, there are very
• 1:04:25
  few people who actually want to play every single one of these
• 1:04:28
  games that are on your service, right?
• 1:04:30
  And I think that they couldn't, they, they were blinded by the
• 1:04:37
  appeal of Game Pass to see the, the, to, to realize what the
• 1:04:41
  reality of Game Pass was going to be, you know, and.
• 1:04:46
  Was this, was this supposed to be an answer to PlayStation
• 1:04:49
  Plus? Because PlayStation Plus had
• 1:04:50
  been out for a while. No, because they had Xbox Live
• 1:04:52
  Gold. Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 1:04:54
  And Xbox Live Gold got full basically folded into.
• 1:04:57
  Game Pass. They retired.
• 1:04:59
  They retired Xbox Live, the name Xbox Live and folded it into
• 1:05:05
  Game Pass Core. Which is what?
• 1:05:07
  It's called There we go, There we go.
• 1:05:09
  To, to make it look like their game pass numbers were boosted,
• 1:05:12
  you know, so I, I, I, I, I feel like you need to reset your
• 1:05:19
  expectations of game Pass is a nice additive.
• 1:05:24
  You know, I and we've learned that over time, right?
• 1:05:26
  We're like PlayStation Plus. I I've as much crap as people
• 1:05:30
  gave PlayStation over the last few years, right.
• 1:05:33
  I feel like PlayStation Plus is a nice additive to your, you
• 1:05:38
  know, your subscription, you know extra and what's the other
• 1:05:43
  one Premium, but it's not the core of their business.
• 1:05:46
  Xbox went about it the wrong way, right?
• 1:05:49
  Where they made Game Pass the core of their business and
• 1:05:53
  taught their community and their fans not to buy games because
• 1:05:57
  they're just going to wait for it to come to Game Pass.
• 1:05:59
  Or, you know, if you're a Game Pass member, you get special
• 1:06:03
  discounts on sales or, you know what I mean?
• 1:06:05
  Like they, and then they, they went so far to like teach people
• 1:06:09
  not even to buy the box anymore. So again, good idea, bad
• 1:06:16
  execution, which is, you know what we can say about
• 1:06:19
  Playstation's game as a service thing, right?
• 1:06:22
  I mean, I everybody has one of these, right?
• 1:06:24
  I mean, the Nintendo, the Wii U was that was that.
• 1:06:29
  So all right, I'm hearing myself through your speakers again, I
• 1:06:33
  think. Yeah, I know, I know.
• 1:06:35
  It just it just did it again like so give me a second just.
• 1:06:40
  Give him a second, everybody give him one second anyways.
• 1:06:46
  But yeah, I mean, I, I feel like Game Pass is a great idea.
• 1:06:50
  It needs to be additive or like if they can come up with a, they
• 1:06:54
  can come out different tiers, right?
• 1:06:55
  Like the first party tier, I think is an interesting idea.
• 1:07:00
  You know, I, I feel like, like a man, you can get really into the
• 1:07:05
  weeds with this. But like, I feel like Bethesda
• 1:07:10
  and Activision Blizzard, we'll talk about it when he comes back
• 1:07:12
  on, but I feel like Activision Blizzard and Bethesda games are
• 1:07:16
  should be like their quote UN quote third party developers,
• 1:07:21
  you know? Hey, Laron, he's back.
• 1:07:26
  Hey, so yeah, here's here's. I'm not, I'm not sure what's,
• 1:07:31
  I'm not sure what's going on with my whole interface tonight.
• 1:07:34
  I'm not sure if it's, I'm not sure if it's a me thing or if
• 1:07:36
  it's our streaming platform thing.
• 1:07:37
  I'm sorry. It's probably a little column A,
• 1:07:40
  a little column B, probably one or the other.
• 1:07:43
  We'll see. It's got to be one or the other.
• 1:07:46
  It's it's. Yeah, like.
• 1:07:48
  I, I don't, I don't think we veered into the it's getting
• 1:07:51
  infuriating part just yet, but I don't know, give us a little
• 1:07:54
  more time. Not yet don't worry the night
• 1:07:56
  he's young. But Laurent, what I was saying
• 1:07:59
  was like going back to the exclusive thing right.
• 1:08:02
  I I heard this on a a PlayStation podcast, funny
• 1:08:07
  enough, but I feel like the the studios under Xbox game studios,
• 1:08:14
  those should be the exclusive games, right?
• 1:08:18
  Your Halo, Fable, Hellblade, gears forts.
• 1:08:23
  So those games should be those games should be the ones that
• 1:08:26
  are exclusive to Xbox. I feel like when you start
• 1:08:29
  diving into like Bethesda, the Bethesda stuff and the
• 1:08:33
  Activision stuff and the Blizzard stuff, those are the
• 1:08:36
  games that you look at and be like, OK, these should be multi
• 1:08:40
  platform. These are the games we should
• 1:08:42
  sell everywhere. Yeah.
• 1:08:44
  And then there should be a separate, like maybe a separate
• 1:08:47
  tier of Game Pass of like, OK, here's the, you know, if you
• 1:08:53
  want to add Bethesda games to your Game Pass subscription, you
• 1:08:56
  know, maybe like, again, I'm just going to use this example.
• 1:09:00
  Let's say the the Xbox Game Studios tier is 1499, right?
• 1:09:07
  OK, you add, if you want to add, you know, the Bethesda games, 5
• 1:09:15
  bucks, add five bucks, right? And, and I know this could get
• 1:09:20
  really messy and really weird, but like basically you go to
• 1:09:24
  like the game pass when you go to sign up, you just essentially
• 1:09:29
  check box which items you want on it.
• 1:09:31
  And each item costs like a specific amount of money a month
• 1:09:36
  specifically. You know, I feel like that
• 1:09:39
  would, I feel like that would be cumbersome, but also eliminate a
• 1:09:42
  lot of the issues that people have with this thing.
• 1:09:44
  You you probably, you're probably on to something with
• 1:09:46
  that. You know, and then like, Oh,
• 1:09:48
  well, I'm not in the fallout and it's coming out this month, so
• 1:09:52
  I'll uncheck the Bethesda box and like that'll take some money
• 1:09:56
  off, you know, and maybe Xbox sends you a reminder every month
• 1:10:00
  or you know, because I get reminders every month said, hey,
• 1:10:04
  you're still at core. You want to upgrade, You want
• 1:10:07
  to. You want to bump that up.
• 1:10:08
  Why are they doing that I. Don't know man, they tried to
• 1:10:11
  buy my Xbox off me at one point remember?
• 1:10:13
  I remember you telling me about that.
• 1:10:14
  Why, Yeah. Why?
• 1:10:16
  Yeah. I I I like my Xbox.
• 1:10:18
  I'm confused and angry at it sometimes, but it's not the
• 1:10:23
  box's fault. I don't know.
• 1:10:28
  I feel like I feel like there's something there though, right?
• 1:10:30
  And like, oh, that here's the indie game tier and you know,
• 1:10:33
  maybe for 999 you get on, you can play online.
• 1:10:36
  Plus here's here's access to all these indie games or 1299 or
• 1:10:41
  whatever. You know, I mean, they do that
• 1:10:43
  with EA Play, right? I mean, for an extra, it's
• 1:10:48
  included in your ultimate subscription.
• 1:10:50
  But for it's that's 250 a month or whatever, right?
• 1:10:54
  I mean, I don't know, that's, that's where my brain's at.
• 1:10:59
  Maybe that's too complicated for people, but.
• 1:11:01
  I don't get me to lying. I don't know.
• 1:11:09
  Anyways, do you have anything else to say about Game Pass?
• 1:11:14
  No, I, I think I've, I think I've said everything I need to
• 1:11:16
  say. OK.
• 1:11:19
  All right, Lauren, we're going to we're going to move into this
• 1:11:21
  last topic. This is this one specifically
• 1:11:23
  for you and I want to know what you think.
• 1:11:29
  OK someone made a Someone made a DIY steam machine and has
• 1:11:34
  challenged valve to their next move.
• 1:11:38
  One PC builder may have just beaten valve to its own idea.
• 1:11:42
  A YouTube known as Zack Builds created a 950 DIY steam machine
• 1:11:47
  designed to rival Valves upcoming PC console hybrid
• 1:11:50
  packed with a Ryzen 556 or I don't know how you say it,
• 1:11:57
  55600X. 5600 X. Yeah, 5600 XI said that right.
• 1:12:04
  A Radeon RX-9060XT, 16 gigs of RAM and a two terabyte SSD into
• 1:12:16
  a custom case. The system can run demanding
• 1:12:19
  games like Cyberpunk 2020, 2077 and Spider Man 2 up to 4K at
• 1:12:22
  60FPS with upscaling, making it a strong proof of concept for a
• 1:12:27
  sub $1000 PC gaming PC. While Valve could still undercut
• 1:12:33
  pricing through large scale production, it's official device
• 1:12:37
  remains unannounced in in terms of cost in release timing.
• 1:12:43
  Meanwhile, questions are also swirling.
• 1:12:48
  Oh wait, that's wrong. That's something.
• 1:12:50
  Yeah, that's not right. Whoops anyways.
• 1:12:53
  Yeah. No, no, no.
• 1:12:53
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. It ended with the release, with
• 1:12:55
  the cost and release timing right there.
• 1:12:56
  Yeah, I I must have. I must have copied and pasted
• 1:12:59
  another story there. Anyways, what do you?
• 1:13:03
  OK. What do you think about this?
• 1:13:05
  I like this sub $1000 Yes, I like this.
• 1:13:08
  I like this idea a lot the ryzen 557-5600 X hold on here because
• 1:13:14
  I should have already been looking this up the ryzen
• 1:13:16
  550600X6 core 12 thread processor.
• 1:13:23
  OK, OK, not too bad. The 9060 XT is a nice is a nice
• 1:13:29
  graphics card for from from AM DS line so like that yeah like I
• 1:13:34
  mean you know like you're not going to get RTX and odd stuff,
• 1:13:37
  but then again I don't even think the steam machine was
• 1:13:39
  boasting like ray tracing and RTX level graphics and stuff
• 1:13:42
  like that. Let's see Yep 16 gigs of ram.
• 1:13:48
  I feel like you know what, as far as RAM requirements go 16
• 1:13:52
  gigs is like the sweet spot 3232 gigs is where you kind of want
• 1:13:55
  everything to be, but you know you're definitely trying to keep
• 1:13:58
  this thing affordable and depending on pricing SSDSSD
• 1:14:01
  prices 2 terabyte yeah you know, you're probably not looking at
• 1:14:05
  like a super fast SSD or whatnot, but you know you're
• 1:14:07
  looking at one that you know can definitely do the job and stuff
• 1:14:10
  like that. I say this right OK SO57X up to
• 1:14:15
  1440P gaming, even though it says 4K60 PS 60 frames per
• 1:14:19
  second while upscaling here for spider man inside the month 2077
• 1:14:23
  the and the and the 960XT for sure can do for actually let me
• 1:14:31
  let me just be sure of that the ready on the ready on 969060XT
• 1:14:39
  it yeah it is honestly this guy did a very good job because like
• 1:14:47
  'cause like price wise price wise the 9060 the 9060 is not
• 1:14:55
  that expensive of a graphics card It is capable of 4K
• 1:15:01
  actually it is capable of 4K gaming, but it's it's more
• 1:15:06
  optimized for for 1440 Pi mean. That's fine with me.
• 1:15:12
  Yeah, that's. Fine, I.
• 1:15:13
  Feel like, I feel like the 4K thing is just so overblown for
• 1:15:19
  people. I feel like a lot of especially
• 1:15:21
  PC gamers, I feel like 1440P is good, like definitely good
• 1:15:24
  enough, right? I mean, I, there's people out
• 1:15:26
  there who still play a 1080P, that's good enough, right?
• 1:15:28
  I mean, yeah, yeah, I don't see a problem with 1440P at all,
• 1:15:34
  right? Like I, I, I still like I, I
• 1:15:38
  don't care about 1080P, but like 1440 P like anything more than
• 1:15:42
  that is like icing on the cake in my opinion, yeah.
• 1:15:47
  Wait, am I wrong here? Am I?
• 1:15:49
  Maybe. No, yeah, 1440 P Like that's,
• 1:15:51
  that's kind of like the centre, the centre spot for that.
• 1:15:54
  Yeah. And, and in all honesty, like,
• 1:15:57
  like, you know what? News flash, I don't even play my
• 1:16:01
  games at 4K and I have and I have A and I have a beast of a
• 1:16:04
  rig. Yeah, that's, that's what I'm
• 1:16:06
  saying, right? I mean, like especially like
• 1:16:09
  when you play on a monitor that's small, right?
• 1:16:12
  Like that there's so, so much diminishing returns at that
• 1:16:15
  point in terms of visual quality that it's like, well, if I'm
• 1:16:18
  playing on a 27 or a 32 inch monitor, like are you really
• 1:16:23
  going to see the difference between 1440P and 4K?
• 1:16:26
  You know, like, what does that even look like at this point?
• 1:16:31
  So yeah, yeah. But ultimately, but ultimately,
• 1:16:37
  yeah. OK, OK, it's OK.
• 1:16:40
  So, so here's here's the real skinny here.
• 1:16:41
  The the the 9060, the Radeon 9060 XT, it has 16 gigabytes of
• 1:16:46
  its own D of its own DDR RAM, VRAM.
• 1:16:51
  VRAM is different from I'm sorry, GDR. I'm sorry, GDR RAM
• 1:16:55
  VRAM is always going to be different from actual RAM in
• 1:16:58
  your computer. So no, I don't want to see
• 1:16:59
  anybody go out there cannibalizing graphics cards
• 1:17:01
  trying to like get more RAM for the PC's.
• 1:17:03
  Don't do that. You're stupid if you do that.
• 1:17:06
  It can handle 4K gaming but often requires FSR upscaling and
• 1:17:11
  reduced settings to maintain that 60, that 60 plus frames per
• 1:17:15
  second. So there you go it's a 1440.
• 1:17:17
  It's a 1440P card route, the box and stuff like that.
• 1:17:20
  Which for the average gamer is going to be fine.
• 1:17:22
  I'll be honest with you. 1080P gaming is is is is fine.
• 1:17:26
  Like, I play A1440P myself, you know, but teach his own.
• 1:17:33
  I understand there are going to be some people that, you know,
• 1:17:35
  want to be like Palpatine and have like absolute power, you
• 1:17:38
  know, and try to try to squeeze every drop out of these things
• 1:17:40
  and stuff like that. But you know what?
• 1:17:43
  Under $1000, like this guy, this guy is doing good work.
• 1:17:46
  I'm not sure where he's getting his parts from because last I
• 1:17:49
  checked DDR4 RAM and DDR5 RAM are still expensive as hell.
• 1:17:53
  So I'm not sure. I mean, this person, this person
• 1:17:55
  could have had some wine around he.
• 1:17:56
  Probably had some stuff lying around.
• 1:17:57
  I I got stuff lying around. I have stuff flying around and
• 1:18:01
  I'm not even APC person so. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:18:04
  So I like this. I like this, you know, sub $1000
• 1:18:07
  PC gaming, PC mid range. Mid range is the thing here.
• 1:18:11
  Mid range machines can play AAA titles.
• 1:18:15
  Don't get it twisted. Mid range PCs can play AAA
• 1:18:18
  titles. You just have to, you just have
• 1:18:20
  to like let some of your expectations go because in all
• 1:18:23
  seriousness, you're not going to, you're not going to get
• 1:18:27
  bleeding edge performance. You know, on mid range hardware.
• 1:18:32
  You're not, you're not. And even with all the tricks of
• 1:18:35
  FSR, the DLSS, some of the other stuff that's out there and stuff
• 1:18:40
  like that, you know, frames in all the other, all the other
• 1:18:43
  stuff, you're not going to get the same performance as you if
• 1:18:47
  you just had like a $5000 plus gaming rig, You're not.
• 1:18:53
  Yeah, yeah, I mean, IIA 100%, you know, well, to the extent
• 1:19:00
  that I understand, agree with you.
• 1:19:03
  I, I feel like wasn't there like a report on like Steam put out
• 1:19:07
  that like the average Steam player has like still uses like
• 1:19:12
  a 2080 as like the average? It's like the most used graphics
• 1:19:15
  card on Steam still. Yeah, the 2080, the 2080 has now
• 1:19:19
  become what the what the 1080 was for for NVIDIA the the 10A.
• 1:19:25
  I'm, I'm sorry, the 1060 they are the GTX 1060 was Nvidia's
• 1:19:29
  workhorse until like games started coming out that needed
• 1:19:33
  higher requirements like A cause 'cause the cause the 1060 was a
• 1:19:38
  3A3 GB to 6 gigabyte range. You know, as far as B RAM goes,
• 1:19:46
  and then games started coming out and needed 810-1214, you
• 1:19:50
  know, gigs of DRAM to like be sustainable, stuff like that.
• 1:19:53
  And so it basically pushed out the 1060, the 1080, the 1080TI
• 1:19:58
  was like your next bet. And then eventually it got down
• 1:20:01
  to the 2080. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:20:05
  Which I did have a 2080. I love that thing.
• 1:20:07
  I I ran that thing to death until I got my 3090.
• 1:20:12
  Yeah. And and now I'm on A and now I'm
• 1:20:15
  on a 4080 super. Look at you.
• 1:20:18
  Look at. You oh, I'm not on a 5090 so,
• 1:20:20
  but you know, like I'm on a 4080 super, you know.
• 1:20:24
  Look at you. Look at this guy rich guy over
• 1:20:26
  here. Not rich, no.
• 1:20:28
  If I was rich, I would have 5090 if I was rich.
• 1:20:33
  If you're rich, you'd. Be buying some some ram and
• 1:20:35
  saving it for later. And I'd have a nine.
• 1:20:39
  I'd have a 9950 X 3D and and 32 gigs of DDR5 ram.
• 1:20:47
  No, I'm still on DDR4. And a custom case built into
• 1:20:51
  your desk. Have you seen?
• 1:20:56
  Those those those desks that have like the PCs built into the
• 1:20:58
  desks are like really? They're wild.
• 1:21:01
  They're wild. They're cool, but like also like
• 1:21:04
  it feels like that might be annoying but it's still cool.
• 1:21:08
  It's like none for me. Thanks, I'm driving.
• 1:21:12
  Nah, this is, this is cool though.
• 1:21:14
  I I gotta go, I gotta go to his YouTube channel and check it
• 1:21:17
  out. Like I'm, I'm, I, I like to, I
• 1:21:18
  just like to see like what's under the hood, you know, 'cause
• 1:21:21
  honestly, I probably have enough parts laying around that I could
• 1:21:24
  probably build one of these things, you know, and that, and
• 1:21:26
  that would probably just be my, my, my, I don't know, I don't
• 1:21:30
  know, like what would, what would that be?
• 1:21:33
  That that might become my streaming machine, you know,
• 1:21:37
  because I'll just use my regular PC, the game, you know, and have
• 1:21:41
  that and have that and piggyback that computer to stream.
• 1:21:44
  You know, yeah. A Radeon 9060 XT is good enough
• 1:21:48
  for me to like dual like dual computer like stream.
• 1:21:53
  Speaking of streaming, I just set up my stuff again because I
• 1:21:59
  kind of want to do that again, but I, I, I just, I need to not
• 1:22:05
  like cry myself to sleep, then maybe I can but.
• 1:22:13
  I really want to do another game night like what we did back when
• 1:22:15
  we were testing out of what we call it.
• 1:22:19
  Riverside. Stream yard, Yeah.
• 1:22:22
  Stream Yard. Yeah, that's what I said.
• 1:22:26
  You have anything? Any other thoughts on this,
• 1:22:28
  Laurent? No, no.
• 1:22:31
  But kudos, kudos. And Zach Bills, I'm in.
• 1:22:33
  As a matter of fact, I am going to look him up right now.
• 1:22:37
  All right. Well, Laurent, I have a little
• 1:22:42
  game for you, A. Little game for me.
• 1:22:45
  Yep. Are you ready for this?
• 1:22:46

• 1:22:52
  Best friend. This guy's channel before, yeah.
• 1:22:56

• 1:22:58
  Laron. OK, what?
• 1:22:59
  What? What we got?
• 1:23:00
  We're moving into our weekly rotating segment, which is real
• 1:23:06
  or fake video game titles. Laron.
• 1:23:10
  I have 30 titles here that could possibly be real or fake. 30
• 1:23:19
  titles. 30 titles. Oh, this.
• 1:23:21
  This is about to be fun. And I want you to tell me if
• 1:23:24
  they are real or fake and I'm going to keep your score.
• 1:23:30
  OK. And see how many you get right
• 1:23:33
  and how many you get wrong all. Right, I guess it means I'd take
• 1:23:38
  my hand off my keyboard. I mean, you can, you can do
• 1:23:41
  whatever you want. I don't care, you know, I just
• 1:23:45
  don't want, you know, don't, don't cover your camera on with
• 1:23:49
  anything. I don't know what that means.
• 1:23:52
  Anyways, here we go. Obscure or real or fake titles
• 1:23:57
  for video games. OK, All right.
• 1:24:01
  Wait, wait, wait. So we've got real, we've got
• 1:24:04
  obscure, and then we got fake. Well, no, they're they're.
• 1:24:08
  It's either real or fake. They're either real or fake.
• 1:24:11
  Got it. OK.
• 1:24:12
  And I'm going to keep track. I'm going to, I'm going to keep
• 1:24:16
  track of the ones that you're right on and see what your score
• 1:24:18
  is in the final. So I should be shooting OK,
• 1:24:22
  what's the pass for me 80% or higher or or?
• 1:24:24
  50% or higher, we're just going to, we're, we're just going to,
• 1:24:27
  we're just going to ride the wave and see what happens.

  Wow, wow, What were the fake games?
• 1:28:56
  All right, so the fake here are the fake games, Chrome Echo,
• 1:29:03
  which like, I don't know, that could have been real because
• 1:29:06
  Chromehounds was a real game. I don't know if you remember
• 1:29:08
  that. Yeah, I remember that game.
• 1:29:10
  I called, I I called that one as fake though, right Chromecho?
• 1:29:13
  I called that one so. I, I don't know, I just, I just
• 1:29:16
  every time you got one right or wrong, every time you got one
• 1:29:19
  right. I just tallied it.

  I didn't get it next to the game.
• 1:29:23
  Static Rebellion is fake. Vector Hayes is fake.
• 1:29:29
  Iron Pulse is fake. Yep.
• 1:29:34
  So there there's a game called Iron, I forget what it's called,
• 1:29:37

• 1:29:39
  There is a game Iron, it's irons iron something.
• 1:29:45
  I forget iron something. Yeah, but it's like a Gears of
• 1:29:48
  War RIP off. And it came to, It's funny, they

• 1:29:54
  Oh wow. OK.

  Steel Horizon I I think I called that one real, not.
• 1:31:00
  Mistaken Steel Battalion is real.
• 1:31:02
  Oh, I remember that game. Man, that game.
• 1:31:06
  That game should have came to PlayStation as soon as it died
• 1:31:08
  on Dreamcast. Oh.
• 1:31:10
  It came to Xbox also the big control that's what I remember
• 1:31:16
  about it is that it came with that custom controller with like
• 1:31:18
  200 buttons on it that big like desk based and then they and
• 1:31:24
  they try to do it without a controller with connect.
• 1:31:27
  It was just bad. Oh man, good times though.
• 1:31:30
  Oh. My God that just reminded me of
• 1:31:33
  this game. Did you ever play this game
• 1:31:34
  called Ring of Red? OK I I feel like Ring of Red was
• 1:31:39
  like inspired by Crimson Battalion.
• 1:31:42
  It was on. It was on PS2.
• 1:31:44
  Interesting man Steel Battalion what a what a strange we would
• 1:31:51
  never get games like that these. Days.
• 1:31:52
  I know, right? Yeah.
• 1:31:54
  Yeah. That was back when they really
• 1:31:56
  took chances. Yeah, but also like games and
• 1:32:00
  cost more than a house to make so.
• 1:32:08
  That was pretty fun. That was pretty fun.
• 1:32:10
  And I got I got 22 out of 30. Yeah, that's that's passing.
• 1:32:16
  I think it's like 60. 7074%. Yeah, see math.
• 1:32:24
  It's close. I had to pull a calculator out
• 1:32:26
  for that. Oh, I I guess.
• 1:32:29
  Don't get it twisted. Well, Speaking of Twisted, it's
• 1:32:35
  time to, it's time to, it's time to get out of here.
• 1:32:39
  It's time for us to say goodbye. It's time for me to go to work.
• 1:32:46
  Everybody out there, I want to thank you so much for watching
