- 4:50laughter, I'm sorry. I just the look on your face
- 4:52while you were wobbling backwards like that.
- 4:57You know, other than that, just been working like normal and
- 4:59playing some some games from plan just recently.
- 5:03Like literally, as of today and yesterday, death stranding, and
- 5:06in the meantime between that had some Kalisto protocol.
- 5:10That's been, yeah, a bunch of fun.
- 5:12And honestly, that's it. Other than my usual stuff of
- 5:16like, oh well, God, of War Ragnarok.
- 5:18I'll be up. Although I've talked about the
- 5:20with Logan. Yeah, but you and I can talk
- 5:22about that further later at a different date and some gt7
- 5:25supports in some F1, because all I do is drive around in cars all
- 5:29day. Oh yeah.
- 5:31Oh yeah. What about you, buddy?
- 5:32Has been everything since you moved in.
- 5:35Yeah, everything's been going good.
- 5:36It's the unpacking phase now, right?
- 5:38So, it's like, finding everything that I thought was
- 5:40lost, that's not lost. Making sure nothing's broken
- 5:43setting it all up. If you like a Chach because I
- 5:46totally focused on my shit first, I like I did and I'll be
- 5:51real about that I focused on like computer room.
- 5:54You know, I got some cool shit from Ray Jeter that rug that's
- 5:59behind me a combine rug and that's set up in my room now.
- 6:01And, you know, A lot of final boss shit, set up my room and
- 6:04just like, I don't know, I just want my entertainment area to be
- 6:07sick, so I focused on that. So I've just been focusing on my
- 6:10computer room and my wife is losing your fucking mind.
- 6:13Going to do like I understand it, but we really need to focus
- 6:17upstairs. So, I, you know, I've been doing
- 6:19a lot of work up there in between playing God of War in
- 6:22between playing the Kalisto protocol, which I'm going to
- 6:25call it out right now. We, we are doing an episode on
- 6:29Callisto. We're going to do two episodes
- 6:31on Kalisto. Actually, we're going to do a,
- 6:34our initial thoughts, because neither of us have finished the
- 6:36game yet, and we're gonna be doing a review on that game as
- 6:39well. Additionally, we will be doing a
- 6:41review, a full review. I have no idea how long this
- 6:44review will be. It's probably going to be pretty
- 6:48beefy episode that might have to get split up into Parts, but we
- 6:51will be reviewing God of War because that is a game.
- 6:54We both completed and we are still both playing because
- 6:56There's just so much to it, but in regards to Kalisto really
- 7:01quick and I'm going to address it further in our Kalisto.
- 7:06First thoughts episode, The hate it's getting is Justified and
- 7:10it's not justified. Depends on what hate you're
- 7:13talking about exactly, which we're not going to go into too
- 7:15deep. Don't bait.
- 7:18If I had to say one thing about Callisto sis, do not base your
- 7:20opinions on the game that you haven't played on what
- 7:23Metacritic is telling you to think I'm beyond sick of Being
- 7:27the audio will Metacritic. I don't give a fuck what
- 7:29Metacritic said. Well, I guess it depends on what
- 7:32you're reading on Metacritic, to exactly.
- 7:34You have critic and user reviews.
- 7:35And as we've seen in the past, a lot of games, just get review,
- 7:38bombed, or review pumped up for God of War, got review, bomb,
- 7:41ready for the game awards. Yeah, which let's be honest,
- 7:44that doesn't change anybody's mind about how that award show
- 7:47went down in terms of the awards given to it and not that it
- 7:50didn't win. I mean that had no standing at
- 7:52that point, it was like three days beforehand.
- 7:54So boating already been done and over with that both areas.
- 7:57But then you have games. Like, I think that's training,
- 8:00got review bombed, on Steam a little bit.
- 8:03And when it released, I know Last of Us, 2 got review, bombed
- 8:06on Metacritic because people don't understand anything about
- 8:09how the world Works, which is pretty funny.
- 8:11Also, I love the fact of the shock factor in when it comes to
- 8:14a lot of review, bombs of like which is just to show you how
- 8:17easy it is to spot who's review bombing.
- 8:19And who actually has a negative review where, you know, people
- 8:22who review bomb last of us were like I can't believe Ellie likes
- 8:25chicks. Like you have you played Either
- 8:27of the, like, the first game or the DLC, you didn't play the
- 8:29first game or the DLCs will become pretty obvious.
- 8:31Our, have you seen any trailers? Pretty obvious.
- 8:35But anyway, yeah, what I'm what I'm getting down to though, with
- 8:38that is the game has problems that I will dress in our first
- 8:43thoughts and I'm going to stand firm with them.
- 8:45Even if you disagree I will stand firm with.
- 8:48These are the problems this game has and if they are to make a
- 8:50second one these need to be addressed.
- 8:52There are issues, but it's the first fucking game with this
- 8:55game. You got it, you got to fucking
- 8:59temper, your expectations, something like this is not going
- 9:02to come out the gate being a fucking hitter, just because the
- 9:06guy who started dead space's, the guy, who's the CEO of the
- 9:09new company? Doesn't mean he's got the same
- 9:11town. Exactly reason his team, which I
- 9:13agree with and I didn't really have any.
- 9:17I didn't have high expectations going into it.
- 9:19I didn't have any expectations of it being the next dead space
- 9:22and I've heard some review say, it is like a spiritual successor
- 9:25to dead space. That does it pretty?
- 9:26Well, and but I also have a I love hearing people who do that,
- 9:29who, like I wanted to be like dead space, and then they play
- 9:32it and they're like, well, dude, you just got a health bar on the
- 9:33back of his neck just like dead space.
- 9:35Had it up here is fine. It's like, that's what you
- 9:36wanted. That's the point of what you
- 9:38just said, but the way they introduced that whole thing is
- 9:40cool. But anyways, it's actually, I
- 9:42like how they introduced, but I digress just if you want to try
- 9:47the game out, find a find a smaller content, creator, or
- 9:51someone that you trust. And listen to what they have to
- 9:54say or ask your friends if they have it.
- 9:56Exactly. And watch them streaming if you
- 9:58have Discord or ask them what their thoughts are on it.
- 10:00Exactly. You know, do that?
- 10:02Do that and do that. Don't fucking Metacritic is the
- 10:05same reason why we didn't get days gone to okay.
- 10:09Yeah. Because the studio and all that
- 10:12bullshit was like, it has to hit 75 and up to get a sequel and a
- 10:16hit. 74. And now it's like, it's
- 10:18bullshit. It's a stupid fucking standard.
- 10:21That's what I'm. That's what I'm saying.
- 10:23Basing off making a movie on how many four out of five is, it
- 10:26gets like think about that. What's that movie review site?
- 10:29You can sign up for something Box, movie box?
- 10:34No, no letterbox letterbox, maybe I think so like that.
- 10:40It's like, it's like a movie gets killed on that website and
- 10:44they're like, oh, can't make a sequel.
- 10:45So that's ridiculous. Anyways.
- 10:47So yeah, I've been playing Callisto protocol.
- 10:49God of War. I plan on playing Choo-Choo
- 10:52Charles. Charlie, whatever it just looks
- 10:55like a game that I have fun with.
- 10:56And looks like I was watching it yesterday.
- 10:58It looks fun, man. Like it was, it's one dude in
- 11:01our Discord, by the way. So yes, join the Discord.
- 11:05It's one dude who makes this fucking game and IGN gives it a
- 11:084 again. Fuck you IGN.
- 11:11Anyways, fuck them do their also.
- 11:13Not I'm not playing. I don't like spiders and I don't
- 11:15like trains. I'm gonna call them out to real
- 11:17quick before we get to the main topic.
- 11:18You fired people before Christmas and you're still
- 11:21actively trying to hire new, right?
- 11:23Ders, you scumbag fucks. Who IGN?
- 11:27Oh fired on bonjour writers, the day of the game awards or day
- 11:30before, and right before Christmas.
- 11:34And they're trying to hire new people.

- 12:07Check that stream. Out, great time.
- 12:10You can watch our live reactions to what was announced.
- 12:13But let's get right into that. We're today's episode is the
- 12:15game awards 2022, specifically. I think, the way we should do
- 12:20this is go and talk about the winners first.
- 12:22What do you think? You can talk about the winners.
- 12:25All right, a lot of rightful winners as I will discuss.
- 12:29We're not doing the Esports, bullshit.
- 12:34You bless. Yeah, let's get that entirely.
- 12:35I don't think that needs to be but so, I'll start from the
- 12:38bottom. Best adaptation, adaptation went
- 12:40to Arcane League of Legends. We did not vote for either of
- 12:45those in our votes or predictions.
- 12:47No, but I agree with. I agree.
- 12:50Yeah, I'm cool with it. I see her.
- 12:53I rather heard from Jeff and Brody about how it was good and
- 12:56why it was so like it brought tons of people in, I have not a
- 12:59fan of one anime style content and I don't care for League of
- 13:04Legends. So it wasn't my pic or my vote.
- 13:06I voted for the cuphead show because I love Saturday morning
- 13:08cartoons. You voted for cyberpunk because
- 13:11I see ya. I'm huge into the cyberpunk
- 13:15universe. Even if the game kind of edged
- 13:19me a bit I'm still I'm still never finish you off.
- 13:23Yeah. But I will get into it though.
- 13:26I voted for the show because I thought it was a great
- 13:29representation of what cyberpunk is bombastic and Sanity, you
- 13:33never know what you're going to get Episode by episode and I
- 13:36like to animation style so that that's whatever and I both voted
- 13:39on and then we had most anticipated which no shit.
- 13:42It went to Legend of Zelda, breath of the wild to, or
- 13:45Legend, Legend of Zelda, tears of the Kingdom or tears.
- 13:48I don't know. No shit, right?
- 13:52Yeah, that was an easy pick. I don't know what the other
- 13:54nominees were, but at least our field was one of them but nobody
- 13:57really cares. Final Fantasy 16.
- 14:00Yeah. Hogwarts Legacy re for and star
- 14:03field. So yeah.
- 14:05Right then and there, huh? I predicted for Zelda.
- 14:09And I voted for re for because I'm anticipated.
- 14:11Ferrari for, that's my Anticipating it, right?
- 14:14I think no II picked. I picked, I picked Silva for
- 14:18both. Yeah, yeah.
- 14:20I am not a fan of them. So I just I we were going the
- 14:23way we did it this year and last year was our predictions get
- 14:27points when we were watching the show and then our votes are
- 14:29votes. So I predicted Zelda, just for
- 14:31the point and then my personal most anticipated title, which I
- 14:34don't care. Did it's a remake of the game
- 14:36that came out in 2005 or whatever.
- 14:39It's my most anticipated title. Shut up, let me enjoy it.
- 14:42It, I get it go to bed because you know what?
- 14:44My game comes out in, like 3 months, your game doesn't come
- 14:46out for like another three years.
- 14:48So like all the comes up next to your supposedly, shut up
- 14:51whatever. Anyways, so they said, so we had
- 14:54best multiplayer game. We're going to rapid-fire a lot
- 14:56of these will talk in between, but we're gonna probably tune
- 14:58one multitude as poultry, which is hilarious, whatever she was
- 15:05on there. They went fuck that too in
- 15:08there. That is another episode of great
- 15:10in 2023, Cod Modern, Warfare 2. To we will need a locking about
- 15:15that because a lot of thoughts about Modern Warfare 2.
- 15:18This was Cod multiverses OverWatch to Splatoon 3 and
- 15:25Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Shredders Revenge which the TMNT
- 15:28game I've heard from Eric from final, boss is a blast, I'm sure
- 15:32it is. It's a blast to play with your
- 15:34homies and I should be playing that on my steam deck.
- 15:38I haven't had time for it. But I mean, I mean, it's still
- 15:41just kind of hilarious that you had two major titles that lost
- 15:44out to slow, tune three hilarious.
- 15:47I'm cool. I'm here for it.
- 15:48I mean, that's, that's funny. I mean, I play OverWatch to, I
- 15:50really enjoy it. I enjoy some of Modern Warfare 2
- 15:52but it's still just hilarious to me that's going to be one.
- 15:56So he had we had best Sims. Last rat game Mario.
- 16:02Rabbids one that I wasn't shocked at that.
- 16:04Yeah but like So I don't think Dune spice or is it as well as
- 16:10it could have total war, war hammer.
- 16:12Three up surprised and get that to point campus.
- 16:15I don't give a fuck about that and Victoria free, I don't give
- 16:18a fuck about that. If there was one that I could
- 16:20have vote, I think should have one was probably for Hammer
- 16:23three, but I'm also 40. I'm a 40K and Warhammer guys.
- 16:26So yeah, best sports and racing game was Gran Turismo 7, which
- 16:32you agreed with right? I agreed with, in the sense of
- 16:36just, yeah. I think I voted for FIFA because
- 16:40I thought of its wider reach of people right?
- 16:42I mean yeah soccer and football like American football I feel
- 16:46are always going to be have a way more reach than like I
- 16:48think. F 122 was one of the nominated
- 16:50ones. I think that a lot of us not
- 16:52were predicting to win. I thought it was a form.
- 16:56Yeah, I mean, I don't really think racing games are going to
- 16:59win. I also don't like how you love
- 17:01sports and racing into the same category should be different.
- 17:03I feel they should be separate because it's a lot different for
- 17:06both those games. But yeah, gt7 definitely
- 17:10deserves that kind of win. You don't have 42 this year,
- 17:13which I'm sure force of will take it next year when
- 17:15Motorsport comes out. Yeah, absolutely.
- 17:17Well and gt7 is like Forza Motorsport.
- 17:19You know, it's track-based Drive, the had tons of cars and
- 17:23I've played it recently. So I think that also kind of
- 17:25influence my wanting it to win. But yeah, I think it deserves
- 17:27that title although I do play F1 2022.
- 17:30A lot of locked. I do think I got like 3:00 in
- 17:33that game. My favorite thing is when you
- 17:36are drinking Ting and you are drunk, and you're drinking and
- 17:40driving in a video game. And I don't know why.
- 17:42But like watching you sit in your rig because Evan has a
- 17:45racing rig, so watching Evan sit in his racing rig fucking
- 17:48because he's really, really fucked up.
- 17:50You put your glasses on your show, your sunglasses, you just,
- 17:54you're just cruising. I have the, I have the gloves
- 17:57to, I have racing. It's just, I just put him on.
- 18:00I do. Surprisingly well for for it
- 18:02because you relaxed, so you're not is, when you're done, do the
- 18:06one I trick. I do not do the close one eye.
- 18:09We're not. I devoting drinking and driving.
- 18:11I'm not, don't do it. Don't do that.
- 18:12Nothing yet. We had best family game Kirby
- 18:16one? That no shit.
- 18:18I have nothing to say on this. As I don't have a family and my
- 18:20family doesn't play games in the my son could play, whatever he
- 18:22wants when he's old enough. I don't give a shit best
- 18:24fighting game. This was a really odd category
- 18:28to me is some of the games here. Everyone was like okay we talked
- 18:31about that. Yeah, some of these weren't
- 18:33really fighting games compared to the others.
- 18:35Yeah I picked Seafood because it is An action fighting game.
- 18:38But I understand what Brody's point was.
- 18:41It's not Street Fighter. It's not Tekken, it's not go
- 18:44exactly Mortal Kombat, but we didn't get a lot of those games
- 18:47that year, right? So they were just kind of
- 18:49picking at stuff that they could kind of use, but multiverses
- 18:52one, Whatever Shaggy, Joe best RPG.
- 18:59Know, shocking went to Eldon ring.
- 19:00Yeah, I mean it when it gets live, a live live alive or
- 19:05whatever Pokemon Legends are. Dias triangle strategy and
- 19:09Xenoblade Chronicles three. That's it was a, it was a wash
- 19:15best action adventure game. Got a fucking war.
- 19:17Of course, Ragnarok. Of course, I don't even know how
- 19:20you, why you would even put stray in there.
- 19:23Why you would put tunic in there?
- 19:25Well Adventure, probably I get that but that's not, it's more
- 19:30of those. Yeah, it's not fair.
- 19:33Best action game, Bayonetta one that Okay, don't care.
- 19:39Innovation in excess in a in accessibility accessibility was
- 19:44God of War Ragnarok. I'm cool with that.
- 19:47I thought it would be returned to Monkey Island personally but
- 19:50if there's somebody who had to get it, I'm cool with Ragnarok
- 19:53because they when you love that game up it just offers you the
- 19:57world. If you are handicapped, it looks
- 19:59like to me again. I'm stupid.
- 20:01Not blind, I stand by that. I did.
- 20:05Wish for a future award shows, when they cover that category
- 20:09they talk about why that game is specifically Innovative.
- 20:12Exactly Ethan. And I talked about that in our
- 20:14district, by the way, were you should join?
- 20:15We will discuss things like this.
- 20:17It's 12 now, like, the, the biggest thing I have, and I
- 20:21voted for God of War Ragnarok, because usually PlayStation
- 20:24games, have won that title in the past Last of Us 2 1 it when
- 20:27that category was available as well.
- 20:30But I'd love to see as time goes on because eventually these
- 20:32features are going to just become standard.
- 20:34What makes these A more Innovative when it comes to
- 20:37accessibility because we just it just want it.
- 20:40And then they kind of showed some things that you could turn
- 20:42on, like the like High color mode.
- 20:45So it shows you who was friends and who are friends and who are
- 20:47enemies that kind of thing. So I'm sure there's a better
- 20:50name for it than High color mode, but it was basically like
- 20:53it filtered out. So everything was grey and then
- 20:55your friends were blue enemies were red things.
- 20:58You could interact with for like orange, so like that's cool.
- 21:02Super helpful. But like, is that Innovative or
- 21:05is that it Something that appears in every game now.
- 21:07And it, was it something that should be in every game.
- 21:09Now, that's also the conversation that should be held
- 21:11with that award is, hey, why are we not stepping up for these
- 21:16people? Who want to game, like
- 21:18able-bodied, people are able to game, and it's a conversation in
- 21:22my opinion, and I can give a fuck less.
- 21:24What other people think about my opinion on this, but it's not
- 21:28spoken enough about there are Gamers.
- 21:31Who cannot pick up a controller who have to use like for lack of
- 21:35better? Her Words Their Nubs on their
- 21:36arms right. So like we're like it's a truth.
- 21:40I'm not being fucking shitty about it, that's just what it is
- 21:42but like it's a conversation that needs to be had and if
- 21:45there's ever a time to do it it's not an E3.
- 21:48During the middle of a press conference.
- 21:50It's right there. During that award yeah, death is
- 21:53so is what it is. Best VRA are coming from an
- 21:56able-bodied person, I'm fat and stupid, but whatever, but best
- 22:01VRA our game. Moss Book, 2 1, I really
- 22:05disagree with that. Bone lab, the successor to Bone
- 22:08works is a far more Innovative game in VR and AR in my I think
- 22:13I think I voted for after the fall because I like the 4
- 22:16player, co-op zombie left for dead style because you don't
- 22:20have enough of that on VR. Like bone bone lab is pretty
- 22:23cool, but it doesn't feel like it really did much more from
- 22:27what I saw. It's a tech Tom.
- 22:29I mean, it looked like if bone Works was the tech demo bone lab
- 22:32I guess was supposed to be like this story based version of it
- 22:35but it's like yeah it all. I mean it did it look better.
- 22:38Probably I'm sure they did some minor upgrades here and there
- 22:41but I mean most of it was more or less the same.
- 22:44I don't know. I want to play it.
- 22:45So I'm gonna have to get it eventually when I can and I'll
- 22:47give it a try. But yeah.
- 22:48God the way to play bone work or bone Lab at this point.
- 22:51Would be with an index though. Yes I know who has one is
- 22:54fucking Julian won't even Rhymes out of.
- 22:57I know. I'm about to get that from best
- 23:00community support. Went to Final Fantasy 14 online.
- 23:03Okay, best mobile game, went to Marvel snap, which is the card
- 23:10game. Okay, cool.
- 23:12We all thought anyways, debut in D.
- 23:15This was something I thought was going to stray and it definitely
- 23:18went astray. Straight was phenomenal game,
- 23:20and I'm glad it one that best indie game stray again.
- 23:27God damn it, it's gonna win. I'm going game.
- 23:31Was Final Fantasy 14. Teen.
- 23:33Okay, games for impact as dusk Falls.
- 23:38Cool. All right here's here's what
- 23:42here's where we get into the thick of it.
- 23:43Best performance went to Christopher Judge and this is
- 23:47where a lot of people hold their points of contention during his
- 23:51speech. Let's talk about that speech.
- 23:53Let's talk about what I think happened and what you think
- 23:56happened there everyone's kind of like shit not him.
- 23:59I think the do is just add a loss for words and how could you
- 24:02not? Like I challenge all these
- 24:04people who were bitching at him to go up and do it.
- 24:06Yeah, you get up? Yeah.
- 24:08You get up. Yeah, you get given the best
- 24:10performance of word for video games by Al Pacino and and go up
- 24:15there and say something other than yeah.
- 24:17Thanks goodbye. Like he wanted to thank
- 24:19everybody. He wanted to thank Sunny for
- 24:21being his scene partner in most of the game.
- 24:24He wanted to thank you know, the people who gave him the
- 24:26opportunity and the janitor. Yeah.
- 24:28Yeah. He wanted to thank everybody and
- 24:30this doesn't, he doesn't see. He seems like the type of guy
- 24:32who is He's gone through a lot in life and he's got a lot of
- 24:36kind of like Kratos has a lot of wisdom.
- 24:38And while is usually a man of few words, when he was giving
- 24:41his time to shine, he had some things to say.
- 24:44But, you know, he's not necessarily somebody who's
- 24:46gonna. I don't think right out of
- 24:47speech and have everything planned because you know what,
- 24:49he wanted to come from him himself.
- 24:51He wants it to, you know, not to be something that he thought
- 24:53about his, you know, 30 minutes ago backstage in case I win.
- 24:57Here's what I want to say. He just was letting the cards
- 24:59fall where they may and it shows him and he's like shows
- 25:03character too. Oh though, doesn't it?
- 25:04Because I would say. So it's him going.
- 25:07I don't expect to win this but if I do cool.
- 25:10Yeah. Someone who expects to win rise
- 25:12of speech. Yeah and it doesn't come from
- 25:15the heart. This dude fucking a straight up
- 25:19said and I you and I have actually talked about this prior
- 25:21to this because like there's interviews and documentaries,
- 25:25whatever. If he knew god of what he was
- 25:28casting for was a video game, he probably wouldn't have done it.
- 25:31Yeah, so the fact that he Comes on does 2018 not knowing it was
- 25:36a video game and then comes back, does Ragnarok.
- 25:39And then wins best performance right before quitting, right
- 25:43before quitting. Because he was going, he said
- 25:46that in his speech that he was going to quit, because Corey bar
- 25:48log was no longer directing the game and he says that during his
- 25:52speech of like, you know, Eric Williams better.
- 25:54Be a bad motherfucker and turns out Eric Williams fucking beast.
- 25:57Yeah, exactly. So, you know, again, like I say
- 26:01to everybody who likes to bitch about it.
- 26:03Or whatever. I mean first off granted, its
- 26:05nine minutes is it long? Yes, but it probably felt a lot
- 26:09longer in the moment row. Tom Cruise, said, longer speech
- 26:11is methyl, exactly, like give it up and who gives a shit like,
- 26:16yeah, he, oh, he talked long really.
- 26:18Are you excited to get to the GrubHub commercials like, is
- 26:21that what we're waiting for you? And that's exactly what I
- 26:23thought of it too. Because, you know, that kind of
- 26:25just annoyed the hell out of me watching everything after the
- 26:27fact of like, I just wanted to the awards to be done and I
- 26:31gotta say, I think I disagree, Maybe.
- 26:33Maybe a little bit with you Jeff and Birdie on this.
- 26:35I love when Geoff keighley comes out and just gives these Awards
- 26:38to people and moves on. Do I think you should do it for
- 26:40the bigger words like game Direction?
- 26:42No, I think those should have a bit more time.
- 26:45No, I agree with that. But like I really If anything,
- 26:50what I would like to see change, as I'd like to have everybody.
- 26:52Come on and give a speech that way I see less fucking ads
- 26:54because there's nothing I hate more than watching shit like
- 26:57that and then having to watch a 15 minute or like a GrubHub.
- 27:00Ad with some gamer content creator, it's like I don't care
- 27:04like a dollar you know this is that's the problem with the word
- 27:07shows in general. But anyway I will get into that
- 27:09at the end of the episode will I enjoyed?
- 27:12I enjoyed Chris judges speech and I think that he did a really
- 27:15good job given the circumstances.
- 27:16And I love the guy, I think he's awesome.
- 27:19And I follow him on Twitter and I love seeing what he's got to
- 27:21say about when people come to him and say Ragnarok changed.
- 27:25My relationship with, with how I think about my dad, or how I
- 27:28think about my son or absolutely.
- 27:30And that's and that's exactly how Chris judge wanted it to be.
- 27:33He's exactly. He's like, I, he's like, I did
- 27:36not have a good relationship with my father and, you know,
- 27:39that that really feeds into his performance which is, I think
- 27:41why he deserved to win it. And again how Pacino came up and
- 27:43gave him an award. How do you what?
- 27:45Like how do you, how do you handle that?
- 27:47How do you handle Exactly. So I'm right there with you.
- 27:51I'm right there with you on this.
- 27:52I it was long-winded. There was a lot to it, a lot of
- 27:56moments of Silence. But again, dude, the guy was
- 27:59just so fucking overwhelmed if I don't know, I don't know what
- 28:03you fucking wanted, if I directed a movie and it was
- 28:06nominated for best. And I was nominated for best
- 28:08director, and Martin Scorsese came up and gave it to me.
- 28:11I'd probably just cry because it's like, how do you react to
- 28:14give to being given an award? Mm, mm.
- 28:16So do you can't. Yeah, you Don't you don't you
- 28:19don't know what to do. Your body takes over your
- 28:21emotions. Take over exactly which is, I
- 28:23think exactly what happened. So to all those, you know Gamers
- 28:26that are bitching about it on Twitter.
- 28:27Well, you know, pay that eight bucks and maybe I'll see it more
- 28:29because you'll pay you guys got steamed X longer, so shut the
- 28:32fuck up. Yeah, Geoff keighley was not
- 28:34happy with it but again, Geoff keighley also let some guy come
- 28:37on stage and say some we'll talk about this later.
- 28:39I held off, I wasn't gonna say the word as if Gabe Newell gives
- 28:42a shit. How many of those goes out the
- 28:43door? He doesn't give a fuck.
- 28:45He don't know what he's like. Okay, whatever.
- 28:49Yeah we do. Yeah but that's not wasd.
- 28:59We love Chris judge. Best audio design.
- 29:01Goes to God of War Ragnarok. No shit.
- 29:05Yeah, that was not something I expected it to win but I'm happy
- 29:09it did in playing it now. It's it's definitely still.
- 29:12It's awesome to hear some of those sounds like especially
- 29:16like the Music that follows when you're in a hectic or intense
- 29:21battle, like some story-based thing.
- 29:22And you got the music following along with your axe swings or
- 29:26your, your blade swings, or anything like that.
- 29:29Like, that's a lot of fun. So, yeah, I'd not something I
- 29:31expected. I kind of expect eldering to
- 29:32take it because you had to come up with scratch with everything
- 29:35for other ring. Whereas yep. 2018, to 2022, for
- 29:39God of War games, not a lot that really needed to change between
- 29:42the acts and blades and stuff. So, so I voted for eldering.
- 29:45God of War, 1, not upset about Though, either of those games
- 29:49could win any of these think I'd be stoked.
- 29:51I think I predicted and voted for God of War just because I
- 29:54don't know. I always had that sort of
- 29:57thought of I think was. It wasn't gt7 nominated for that
- 30:00to, maybe I voted for that. It was.
- 30:02Yeah, I might have voted for that too because it's harder to
- 30:05get Weldon Rings difficult to get those sounds because you
- 30:08have to create them. I think it's just as hard to get
- 30:11to recreate /. Make those sounds from old cars
- 30:13that are not available as easily.
- 30:15Yeah. So yeah.
- 30:16But anyway, so yet best score music, bear McCreary.
- 30:20Got a border art Direction. I disagree with it, do degree
- 30:27but I'm cool with it because there's so much in it.
- 30:30Ellen ring one, there's a lot there and Eldon ringtone pack
- 30:34with our ends. Really?
- 30:36What the story of Eldon ring is to how much of the story is told
- 30:40by its art, but I honestly voted for scorned.
- 30:45I thought that I think I did too artistically.
- 30:48I feel like scorned the entire game is literally told through
- 30:51ART. It's told through its visuals.
- 30:54Al's. Yeah.
- 30:56But again with album ring it's a lot of that in there as well so
- 31:01difficult but I'm cool. I'm cool that best narrative got
- 31:05of work out of or rag, right? Not hot, best game Direction,
- 31:10which fucked us up because we thought whoever won the best
- 31:13game Direction. Wasn't going to win the best
- 31:16game in the game of the year or as everyone started saying the
- 31:20goatee, and I don't like that term, Alvin ring, one game
- 31:25Direction and Elden ring, one game of the year.
- 31:28Yeah. So how do we, how do we feel
- 31:31like we can talk about those two because those two are the most
- 31:34important, I think so I am here's this is going to be
- 31:40difficult for me to put into words.
- 31:43I am a bigger fan of stories that are crafted for the viewer,
- 31:48from a team of writers or a writer in general.
- 31:50That crafts, a story brings you a long and is able to make you
- 31:54feel how they want you to feel at the moment they want you to
- 31:57feel it. Okay, movie.
- 31:59I have. Yes, I have.
- 32:00I don't think game direction for win.
- 32:02Like, for instance, I don't think game direction for should
- 32:04win for a game. Like Fallout New Vegas, where
- 32:06they basically just say you got shot in the head and I'll go out
- 32:08and do whatever you want to do rise.
- 32:10That's, you're not directing me other than directing me to the
- 32:12main story. You're not directing me
- 32:15anywhere. So when it comes to something
- 32:18like Elden ring which when I played it, it doesn't really at
- 32:21least to my knowledge. It never really directed me
- 32:23anywhere. I never really told me to go
- 32:26anywhere. I remember I was playing through
- 32:27it and I was Was following this path and I was I got to this
- 32:31little Camp of people and I, you know, had to fight them a couple
- 32:34times because I'm not a Souls born player.
- 32:36So I have no idea how any of that stuff works.
- 32:38So I got my ass kicked a couple times and once I finally got
- 32:41through and did that, I saw a path that led up and a path that
- 32:44led down and I wasn't told where to go and I had to ask you guys
- 32:50where do I go and they said well you you were like we can go down
- 32:52and do this but the story actually leads up and it's like
- 32:55okay cool. And then I had to fight a
- 32:57fucking giant monster thing that I wasn't prepared to fight.
- 33:02Yeah. So I don't hate the game.
- 33:04Let's make that clear because it sounds like I might be thinking
- 33:06of it that way. I don't hate it but I don't
- 33:08think that game Direction necessarily deserves a win.
- 33:11When you're not directing the players anywhere and you're
- 33:13letting them explore themselves. I don't think that's any less
- 33:15difficult. I just don't think that maybe it
- 33:17doesn't necessarily fit into the category as much when you have
- 33:21when you have a team of writers that are talking to each other
- 33:23going, alright? But when the player gets here,
- 33:24how do we want them to feel? And then if you You can not only
- 33:27if you can repeat that with one person, but if you can repeat
- 33:29that with 5 million people that buy the game and love it, or,
- 33:33you know, three million people. I think that's really
- 33:35impressive, so that's why it goes to it.
- 33:38For me, in terms of the game of the year thing.
- 33:41I'm happy at one, I have certainly knew it was going to
- 33:43be there Eldon ringer God of War.
- 33:46Although I do find it, kind of odd, that l or God of War, wins
- 33:49more Awards and yet loses game of the year.
- 33:52Because and this is probably more of an issue with the game
- 33:55awards in. In terms of voting, and how they
- 33:57describe their Awards game of word, is the game of the year,
- 34:03award is described as the best game across all creative and
- 34:06Technical Fields. So of right and now
- 34:08hypothetically, if God of War 18 and eldering, one game of the
- 34:12year is that, does that make sense to you?
- 34:16Like it does not if it wins best score, best audio, best
- 34:19gameplay, best narrative, best game Direction, best art
- 34:21Direction, best performance results basis, right?
- 34:24Which covers a lot of fields. And And then K ring wins it.
- 34:28That comes to me as like a play of fair is MM.
- 34:31Well, we got to be fair to Elden ring because it was a big game
- 34:34and I feel like that's not That's not very fair in general.
- 34:39I mean, to be fair, it would be if God of War came out and
- 34:43completed all those boxes and checked.
- 34:44Everything it winning every award is not is being fair if in
- 34:50that instance. So that's just my opinion of it.
- 34:52I don't hate Eldon ring, it's just not for me.
- 34:55I know like everybody else in the Discord, loved it, and
- 34:57that's fine, but I personally think that God of War should
- 35:00have won. It just for the story itself,
- 35:02like the story alone, I think carries it to Greater Heights
- 35:05than Elden ring could But I also understand why.
- 35:09Ethan. And I talked about this on our
- 35:10Discord. Um, look for why he thought
- 35:14Eldon ring should win, and he thought it was because it was
- 35:18Innovative, whereas, God of War wasn't, and to me and while
- 35:21again, not being a Souls born guy.
- 35:23So if I say this and you guys want to tear me apart, you can
- 35:25join in the Discord and do that. I don't think that Elden ring in
- 35:32itself was very Innovative. Other than just making a dead
- 35:35like Dark Souls blood-borne game opening.
- 35:37It open world like I don't think That's very Innovative in the
- 35:40sense of other than just taking a style of game and then just
- 35:44making it, you can explore, however you want.
- 35:46I don't think that's, that's nearly as Innovative as people
- 35:49want it to be, or want to think it is, whereas sure, God of War
- 35:52in itself is not Innovative at all.
- 35:54In the sense of it's like, I think it gave you a lot more
- 35:57freedom to roam, this time around but and I do like that
- 36:00they opened up a lot more areas to us but again it wasn't really
- 36:04anything crazy. When you compare it to 2018 is
- 36:06pretty simple. I mean more or less the same so
- 36:08yeah. So for me, I love what the souls
- 36:13games do. It's again, a lot of it is told
- 36:17through its art, its visuals, it's it's world and you piece it
- 36:22together. It's not necessarily you create
- 36:25the story, it's you peace. The story together through your
- 36:27actions, the especially in Elden ring.
- 36:32Through the things you do. And you know what you find and
- 36:36pick up and are able to piece together, that's for me
- 36:38narrative. In that aspects, it does win.
- 36:41But again God of War. It's tough man.
- 36:46I would have been fine with God of Our Winning because the
- 36:48narrative that they spin for you and God of War Ragnarok is truly
- 36:53beautiful. And there's a lot of things that
- 36:57Happen in God of War where I'm like, oh, that's going to happen
- 37:03for sure. There's no question.
- 37:05It doesn't. And it's not it's not like a
- 37:07fucking M Night, Shyamalan fucking twist.
- 37:10It's like yeah, it's not like why does you for a loop?
- 37:12Yeah, what you? And I talked like why would you
- 37:14think this would happen? Did you want this to happen?
- 37:17No. Right now.
- 37:19Because this is what happens and it's phenomenal in that aspect,
- 37:24both games are truly phenomenal in those aspects.
- 37:26And they pull deserve whatever, they get game of the year.
- 37:31I thought, God of War, was going to take it, but I wanted L
- 37:34during the take it. And why like, I predicted, Alan
- 37:37Turing was going to take it to ya.
- 37:39I mean, while I do love God of War Ragnarok.
- 37:41I fucking love the journey. I went on, I'm not done with it
- 37:43yet. There was just something special
- 37:47with Ellen ring and maybe it was because it was during the
- 37:49pandemic. I think that, I think that
- 37:52definitely has a bit of a spin to it.
- 37:54Right. I mean right you were given a
- 37:56game that really had so much content.
- 37:59I can go into that world. I never think about out here.
- 38:02Right? Right.
- 38:03And I think God of War has the same ability but it just so it
- 38:06didn't come out when everybody was locked in their home, you
- 38:09know, everybody was able to kind of just do whatever.
- 38:11And, you know, it's it also came out what three weeks before the
- 38:14game awards. Right.
- 38:15So So it's a little bit early in that girl shake.
- 38:18Yeah, yeah. So people weren't really sure.
- 38:21And if that's also another thing, when it comes to video
- 38:24game journalism, is they like to be like, oh, is it going to come
- 38:26out reports? Or it's going to be delayed?
- 38:27Or course this reports that, oh my God and then they say know
- 38:29what's going to come out this time and it was like, it was
- 38:32during E3. So it was like four or five
- 38:35months later, it's going to be out.
- 38:36So, I think even Brody, when we were recording it at the time,
- 38:39excuse me was saying he was a little bit shaky about how,
- 38:42like, well, is it going to be finished is gonna be polished?
- 38:44Is it gonna be good to go? And By and large it is, I've
- 38:46never had an experience, any bugs, not one issue.
- 38:49I've seen some funny things, like, what?
- 38:51I've seen so many things to you sent me.
- 38:52You sent me one of them. Yeah.
- 38:53So like I certainly can happen but in terms of my playthrough
- 38:56it's been nothing. But I've had nothing but crystal
- 38:58clear skies in the game. Yes.
- 39:00At one issue in God of War, I see what's the protocol.
- 39:04I see where you're going with that though.
- 39:06But I just tell me your heart didn't swell a little bit
- 39:08towards the end when Kratos does his thing you know I can't.
- 39:14I said I was gonna To say it. But I realized I really probably
- 39:17can write. I think I like the Embargo has
- 39:19been lifted. Weights.
- 39:19Boilers yeah, we're not doing, we're not going to spoil.
- 39:22We're not we're not no I don't want to spoil anything now.
- 39:24But let's just say when he's in where the big tree is at.
- 39:28Oh yeah. Like when you had like, for me,
- 39:30what happened that foot that was when the music, when the horns
- 39:34and the chorus came. I was like I gotta have a kid
- 39:38here. I mean.
- 39:39Sorry. Playing that game for me was
- 39:41like 10 times. So I think about my son like
- 39:44fuck man, right. Yeah, I got it.
- 39:45Good dad. I don't have any.
- 39:47Yeah. I like, obviously, I don't have
- 39:49any kids or anything like that and it just for me, as well.
- 39:52It was really something of a I love watching stories.
- 39:54Like that felt like I love. Yeah, I do too.
- 39:56I can really I have a really love feeling and empathizing
- 40:01with other characters that I don't normally couldn't see
- 40:04their side of, but I like to I like to play games like like
- 40:07that, where it's like yeah I'm not a dad and I'm not a Greek
- 40:10god of war and look who knows? Yeah yeah.
- 40:12Right. I'm yeah exactly like that, too.
- 40:14Like I don't I can't Not relate to any of that stuff.
- 40:18But I love being able to sympathize or empathize with
- 40:22those characters and be like, I understand why you would want to
- 40:25do that. I understand why you think this.
- 40:27But then I also see at Reyes as a, you know, young kid who's
- 40:30like I need you to trust me and crevices like I do and but like,
- 40:35I need to know what's going on in this race.
- 40:36I can't do that. Like, you know, I think that I
- 40:39think that's all really interesting but I'm with you
- 40:42there. I can see why Elden ring should
- 40:44have one and I'm happy it did it by no means in my like, fuming
- 40:47over here. Like, I think some people in the
- 40:49Maybe thought I would be where it's like, no, I was actually
- 40:53pleasantly surprised with you react.
- 40:54Surely okay. Actually.
- 40:55Yeah, I can see. Everybody was playing at.
- 40:58They were all enjoying it so I don't really see a problem with
- 41:01why it should have one. Do I think it should have on my
- 41:03own Merit? Know I probably would have voted
- 41:04for got a verified the final decision but then again, you're
- 41:07also pitting me against a game State game style that I Nev
- 41:11never enjoyed. So it's like if it's would be a
- 41:14lot harder for me. If I really enjoyed both of
- 41:15them. Oh, at that point, you're
- 41:18fucked. It'd be tough.
- 41:19Matt, I think in my head, I'd probably still go for God of War
- 41:22because I'm more of a story-based person.
- 41:24And I like to be, like I said, I like to be told the story.
- 41:26I like to be woven a tale with threads and seeing all of them.
- 41:30Come together is a very fulfilling moment for me.
- 41:33But oh, yeah, I think that kind of covers the awards.
- 41:35Do we need to go into what we were shown?
- 41:37Yes, we do. So, let's kick it off.
- 41:40Hades to, that isn't really very excited for mediately dropped.
- 41:45It was sick. I wasn't expecting that.
- 41:47That was really fucking cool. I mean, the first It's just such
- 41:50a huge success. It was and for them just to go.
- 41:55Here's the first game. We're going to show
- 41:56realistically during the actual words, it was.
- 41:59Hey, used to and everyone's like holy shit.
- 42:01All right out, the gate. Yeah.
- 42:02So Hades to was announced. And then we go right onto Jedi.
- 42:08Star Wars, Jedi Survivor, dudes are out of order.
- 42:12Oh my God, bear with us. So that comes out March. 17th.
- 42:16Let's go. I have never been so excited.
- 42:19Excited for a Star Wars thing in my life.
- 42:22It looks amazing. It looks it looks great, the
- 42:25visuals, it looks really awesome.
- 42:27I love some of the combat, they showed off.
- 42:29They talked a little bit more about it.
- 42:30So in the trailer Cal, I can't remember his name.
- 42:34I feel so stupid, how fast this cow castus?
- 42:37Or what's his name? Ian from Shameless, if your ass?
- 42:40Yes, but he's got a couple different variations of
- 42:45lightsabers now. And they talk about that where
- 42:48that's actually not just Visual that is actual fighting style
- 42:51changes as well. So you can kind of spice it up a
- 42:53bit and play to a certain style, which would be really cool to
- 42:57see. Because I would like to see how
- 42:59they kind of, cuz it's kind of souls like in some of its combat
- 43:03where it's kind of just dodging, blocking depending and all that
- 43:05stuff. And then when you re you learn
- 43:07your address, when you've rested an area, all the enemies come
- 43:09back. So like that, that was cool.
- 43:11I like that. But I'm excited to see where the
- 43:13story goes. I'm excited.
- 43:14Exactly, he's clearly way older dudes.
- 43:17Like in his 20s now even Beard. Yeah.
- 43:20Yeah. He's like 17 or like.
- 43:22So like a young adult like /. Teenager in the first game.
- 43:24So it looks like he's at least been.
- 43:26I think they said it's been 10 years.
- 43:28Oh, dude, there's something like that.
- 43:29So, that's exciting as well to see, but I'd like to see how
- 43:32they spin that work. It's like, yeah, it's been ten
- 43:35years since like he, you know, became a full-on Jedi was doing
- 43:38all this shit and I can't wait for them to try and show us
- 43:40something that a Jedi should totally know by his age.
- 43:42Yeah. As like a learning thing, I
- 43:44think that'll be kind of funny, but it will be funny.
- 43:47So we got her. Isn't forbidden West that gets
- 43:51an expansion set in ela in April cool.
- 43:56We got a new Super Mario Bros movie clip thought it was cool.
- 44:01I'm excited for the movie Crash team Rumble.
- 44:06That was a really cool announcement though.
- 44:08You had you had like classic crash music.
- 44:10Yeah. Coming down from the rafters, I
- 44:12like that. I'm skipping a few because we're
- 44:15going to go back to them. Final Fantasy was a 60.
- 44:19Yeah. No, fancy 16, give it gave us
- 44:22our best. Look at the game yet.
- 44:23That is also something that's coming out June 20 seconds.
- 44:28So they have nothing to look forward to now.
- 44:30Run through a couple of these here that are down below.
- 44:33Bioshock Creator. Ken Levine revealed his first
- 44:36title at ghost, or a games, which is Judas kind of looks
- 44:38exactly like Bioshock guys, I'm here for it.
- 44:42I'm cool with it. Bayonetta Origins is getting an
- 44:45isometric, action adventure, game really stupid.
- 44:47It's like a. I think it's like a Prelude to
- 44:50like Bayonetta and everything like that.
- 44:53There's a Ghostbusters rise of the ghost lured game that got a
- 44:57trailer Destiny, choose life, all expansion.
- 44:59Got a Gameplay trailer Suicide Squad, kill the Justice League,
- 45:02got a new trailer revealing that an evil Batman is in the game
- 45:05and it does feature the late, Kevin Conroy final performance
- 45:09which will be. That was that was really cool.
- 45:10It'll be released on May 26 2023 gone.
- 45:13It was super sad because you could kind of see it.
- 45:17Yeah, it's almost like feel in the room.
- 45:19Everyone was like, yeah, whether or not you watch the Animated
- 45:22Series, he was a part of your life in somebody.
- 45:24Like for me I never watch the Animated Series but I played the
- 45:26games. I played Arkham games and he
- 45:28died. Yeah, he voice that made in
- 45:29that. So I my first, my first
- 45:32experience with Batman and other than like, Adam West and shit.
- 45:35What like my actual like first experience was with Kevin
- 45:39Conroy. Yeah, you know, I mean, like,
- 45:41just being like a kid watching Cartoon Network.
- 45:43Yeah. And the Batman animated series
- 45:45of pop-up, which was not for kids.
- 45:47By the way, I don't care what anyone says, it just wasn't, so
- 45:52it's sad. The, but this game looks cool as
- 45:55long as they don't. Gotham Knights it that I don't
- 45:57care. Anyone says, yeah, I don't think
- 45:59they will, because that's from Rocksteady and Roxy exactly the
- 46:02Arkham games except for Arkham Origins.
- 46:04Which again was made by Warner Brothers, which was not as well
- 46:06received which was Gotham Knights.
- 46:08Yeah. So I think Rocksteady will have
- 46:10this year, especially because they've taken their time on it.
- 46:12So I really, really hope it's good because I love rock steady
- 46:15and I'd love to see them. Go back to the dam.
- 46:17Narcan's up now, but now they can't.
- 46:19I know party. Party animals.
- 46:21Got a trailer showing off various playable animals, The
- 46:23Outfits, they can wear in the stages, they fight on, I think
- 46:25that's coming to PC. So that'll be fun for all of us.
- 46:28We are some content. Yeah.
- 46:29But they get ready for content and get ready to watch me.
- 46:32Get just absolutely. Shit house, wasted obliterated
- 46:37and play that game. Yeah.
- 46:38Dad, every time we play, like, Gang Beasts.
- 46:40I'm always fucked up and Brody's like, can't keep them like you.
- 46:43Oh, you shut up, bro. I can do it.
- 46:45I could do it. Last of us.
- 46:47Part one comes to PC on March 3rd, 2012.
- 46:49Nominally, super excited for that already.
- 46:52Pre order out epic and steam at 60 bucks.
- 46:54If you want to complain about that, join us in the discordant
- 46:56talk about it. So I'm so Hollow.
- 46:58Earth played yeah, so let's follow up with Clay was
- 47:01announced and watches in 2024 doing awake.
- 47:04And got an engine trailer. That looks pretty cool.
- 47:07For spoken is getting a demo and PS5.
- 47:09I've already seen some reactions all this out.
- 47:11Yeah, I've already seen some reactions on Twitter.
- 47:13Most people aren't really liking it and they don't want to get
- 47:15it. Some other guy was talking about
- 47:17how like they don't really explain a lot to you.
- 47:19In terms of the tutorials when it comes to the park or he's
- 47:22like a lot of the stuff I've learned has been just from
- 47:23trying and doing it. So don't necessarily believe the
- 47:26the reactions you're getting because they're like, well, it's
- 47:28not as fun as people. He's like, you need to play it
- 47:31and actually try and do some things before you can just say.
- 47:34Which again, I think that's important to realize.
- 47:36Now as you know, things like Twitter, is just Twitter.
- 47:39And now, a lot of people are just going to try a game for 10
- 47:41minutes and then bitch about it and say it's not good before
- 47:43they really try anything. So, for me, this game didn't
- 47:46look interesting from the kit though, sure.
- 47:49I mean, I don't know anything about it, but like I've been
- 47:51seeing it a pop up on Twitter, I've seen people like it and
- 47:53then are, like, some people are most people not like it.
- 47:55And then a couple of the people be like, well, it's actually
- 47:57pretty fun if you take the time to try and learn some stuff on
- 47:59your own, instead of just being told to you through to a moment
- 48:02if that's how they're doing it right now though.
- 48:03Like Hey, try this trailer out, which means, hey, learn the
- 48:06game. Yeah, Kenshin impact.

- 49:32play it again. Even though every time I tried
- 49:33to play it, I am Not, if you don't enjoy it though.
- 49:35I've never enjoyed my time with that game, and it's like, maybe

- 50:16for Call Of Duty, Modern Warfare 2 received its debut trailer.
- 50:19It comes out on the wars or season. 1 reloaded update which
- 50:23comes out on the 14th of December.
- 50:26Going to try the rate at the very least kind of pissed off
- 50:28though that I have to do things in the game to unlock the rape.
- 50:31So like I have to I have to get in the top.
- 50:34In a battle royale match and I have to extract the 30k cash and
- 50:38DMZ kind of an under that. Just let me pay you know, just
- 50:41let me play it. I did pay an extra like 30 bucks
- 50:43for your season pass. Yeah, that'd be nice.
- 50:46So fucking, we talk about this next one for a minute?
- 50:48Yes. Okay, so we also got the first
- 50:51look at cyberpunk 2077 s Phantom Liberty expansion revealed
- 50:56Beatrice Elba is in the game. Now, I have seen a lot of people
- 51:01talk. We're like, well, you show it
- 51:03off. Off with fucking Keanu and now
- 51:05you're just throwing another star in there.
- 51:07I really don't think that's what now cvpr was going for when
- 51:11they're having these A-list actors in here.
- 51:14I just think they're throwing a last A-list actors who they know
- 51:17want to be in fucking video games and video games, they just
- 51:20really fucked up when it came to cyberpunk 2077 and they're
- 51:25bringing it back. Slowly and I know it's, I'm not
- 51:30defending it. I'm trying my best not to I'm
- 51:33excited for this. It's an expansion to a game that
- 51:38I have such. He want to love it.
- 51:42Thank you. I want to love this game and I
- 51:43do have love for there's things in this game where I'm like wow
- 51:46do like this is amazing and this is great and light City if you
- 51:51just made it alive. Yeah, he'd actually did it,
- 51:56right? Yeah.
- 51:57Like if they added the tram system, if they added the police
- 52:01that actually do shit, they added chasing if they whatever
- 52:05I'm excited, this opens up so much.
- 52:08The only thing I'm afraid of is if it doesn't do well, even if
- 52:12it does, I think that might be it when they were supposed to be
- 52:14three in total. So I think they might stop
- 52:17there. Supposedly but, who knows?
- 52:19I'm excited for this. Are you going to play it though?
- 52:22Maybe I. All I can say is Maybe I really
- 52:24got to see what people like you and anybody else did you beat
- 52:27you beat. Sorry bunk, right?
- 52:28Yeah, I beat it. I got like whatever I got.
- 52:30Apparently I got the best ending you and I both got the best and
- 52:33the most rare and things. Yeah, yeah so I mean I was I was
- 52:36happy about that. But yeah, it'll, it'll take a
- 52:40minute for me to see if I really want to do it.
- 52:42In terms of these pre-show things that happened.
- 52:44I don't think really that's it. Yeah, Hellboy was announced,
- 52:47that was pretty cool. Maternal is coming to Tom
- 52:48McCarthy, that's not my car. Got another trailer.
- 52:50Reminding us that it's around but not out so soon Among Us.
- 52:54Is getting a hide-and-seek mode. For all the kids, who listen to
- 52:57the show? It was a cool trailer for Among
- 52:59Us. I will say it was pretty neat,
- 53:01and the other ones here that I see probably are pretty cool,
- 53:05but I don't remember them off the top of my head.
- 53:07I don't care. I like that shit.
- 53:08All right, you ready to go back up.
- 53:10Now for the ones I skipped for the one ice skate.
- 53:13Yeah, the one all you've skipped a couple actually.
- 53:17Well, I'll do mine in the, you could bring out the other ones.
- 53:20Okay, I'm trying. I'm trying to look at the yeah.
- 53:22I know which one you're going to bring up but I think you know
- 53:24you only missed one. Okay.
- 53:26Do you want me to do that one? And we can save the best for
- 53:28last? Yes.
- 53:29Yes this is armored Corps. Six.
- 53:31Yes. So the next armored Core by from
- 53:34soft, here's my problem. People don't realize how
- 53:41difficult. Like, if you think, if you think
- 53:45Dark Souls demon, souls El, Domingo difficult, armored Core
- 53:48games are notoriously difficult games, and this trailer was want
- 53:52to play it. Oranges because I like Max and
- 53:56you'll like armored Core, but it's it's hard.
- 54:00It's a very fucking steep learning curve.
- 54:03That I don't think a lot of you already for from does this
- 54:08thing? Where they show the game off.
- 54:11They did it with Elden ring and People go.
- 54:15Wow that's that looks interesting.
- 54:17It is it is interesting. It's going it's from from
- 54:20software. It's going to be interesting.
- 54:22Can you play this game though? Yeah.
- 54:25Are you able to play it? Are you able to learn it and
- 54:30that's what armored Core is. Are you able to learn it?
- 54:32Take your time and actually play the game.
- 54:36I think our server can we have me?
- 54:38You ease and Logan all these people who and Brody who can
- 54:41really play these games? I think you'll have fun with it.
- 54:45I feel like a lot of people are going to buy this though and go.
- 54:49Oh fuck. Yeah.
- 54:52That's my only thing. I'm afraid.
- 54:54People are going to play get this and go dude, I can't
- 54:57believe this. Yeah, I mean we'll see I
- 54:59definitely want to try it just for the fact of it there Max
- 55:01which is a lot more interesting to me.
- 55:03That's another thing with why I couldn't really get into Eldon
- 55:05ring and like the Dark Souls games is I'm not a fan of that
- 55:07style of fantasy like socialism shit.
- 55:10It's just like well no I would like to try D and D I mean and
- 55:13I've also tried to I mean not try to, I've done very lazily
- 55:17tried to get us to play some like sort of style like D&D
- 55:20style board games that are set in different like Braille like
- 55:23not Realms, but different Of fantasy.
- 55:26Like there is that one game traveler that was basically d
- 55:29space. So like yes, I like the style
- 55:33and I like the storytelling aspect that D&D and like games
- 55:36like traveler can create it's just I guess maybe that's part
- 55:39of it is when it comes to doing it in a game like Elden ring, I
- 55:43don't really see it as much as d and e because I'm playing by
- 55:45myself, right? Like I mean most for most of it
- 55:47I'm playing by myself. You can't play with some friends
- 55:48here and there but that's not. So yeah.
- 55:50It's um but I'd like to try armored Core because I do like
- 55:53the Max and that Has that style. Visually looked gorgeous to
- 55:57over. Other.
- 55:57Yeah. Over some Elden ring stuff.
- 55:59And but like, I mean that's about it.
- 56:00But now let's go to what you've been waiting for.
- 56:04What you've been wanting to talk about today?
- 56:06Oh, Kojima the man who was wearing the shoes that I bought
- 56:11after watching him? Where, wow, I I did I'll call
- 56:15myself. I don't care.
- 56:16And fuck you, Jeff? I don't care unveiled, death
- 56:21stranding to and I know it's just The cinematic trailer.
- 56:26I know it's a working title but it was such a good trailer.
- 56:31It got you back into stranding. I mean I'm hopefully almost done
- 56:36with it. You can finish it tonight after
- 56:38this episode. I'm guaranteeing but wow what a
- 56:41fucking trailer I know people. Well I just doesn't make sense.
- 56:45It does that holds the whole first trailer for the first
- 56:48game. Didn't make sense.
- 56:49What do you expect? It was a baby going.
- 56:52You know, the game doesn't even make sense until like three
- 56:55hours in like you're not even at the fucking like loop-de-loops
- 56:59yet. I know where you're at II.
- 57:01Know I can huge Loops I know and I know they're going to happen
- 57:04and I'm going to be so confused. But I'm not going to know
- 57:06anything about this game by the time I'm done with it.
- 57:08But like I love that idea of to people like it's a day.
- 57:12Okajima. It's going to be great, and then
- 57:13they watch each other and like, it doesn't make any sense.
- 57:14Like clearly, you don't know who did it Peggy.
- 57:16I don't know hideo Kojima very well, but I know that what he
- 57:18posts, it never makes sense. It never makes sense like Are
- 57:22than final boss was like, okay, okay, I love you Eric
- 57:27motherfucker. He goes, oh do coach, they
- 57:30okajima. Could make a video game of just
- 57:32him wanking it for fucking 48 hours straight and people would
- 57:37buy that and called a masterpiece.
- 57:39Yeah, probably probably, probably, probably what I mean,
- 57:43I would even now when people ask me, well, what is the stranding
- 57:47and I'm playing it currently. I'm like, you fucking deliver
- 57:49packages, like, and there and I know, Like, you and Julian would
- 57:53be like, but there's there's a story to.
- 57:54I'm like, yeah, there is. But the, I mean at the end of
- 57:58the day, what a loop is the kite, at the end of the day, and
- 58:01this has been kind of annoying to me currently, but I
- 58:05understand why maybe just due to a gameplay aspect.
- 58:08Yeah. I'm at the last couple chapters
- 58:10of the game and whenever I finish that like a mission, it
- 58:13gives me like a rating as if I had delivered a package which is
- 58:16like I don't really like that because it puts it stops the
- 58:20storytelling right away. It goes.
- 58:22Just adopts it for you to have to fucking million phone calls
- 58:24from Guillermo del Toro. I know don't even get me started
- 58:29because it even goes. Have you ever put a fucking
- 58:32metal gear game? No, I haven't.
- 58:34So it's like I'm like, they're like, you need to get to the
- 58:36East as fast as you can. We got shit going on.
- 58:39I don't know. All right, cool.
- 58:40And then I get in a bike. I'm going down the highway.
- 58:42I'm going as fast as I can. Every 30 seconds Guillermo del
- 58:45Toro, calls me, by the way, I have some more updates and Sam
- 58:48just sits there and listens and it's like end of the call put it
- 58:52on. You can keep driving, like do
- 58:54something. They're like, hurry up.
- 58:55We need to get here. You're the only one who can stop
- 58:57the whole life. It's like, well, you know, I
- 58:59could probably get it done. If you stop calling me every
- 59:01five minutes to give me over better yet, just here.
- 59:04Here, I'll put myself on you. I'll put my ear pods in, and
- 59:07I'll drive going, and I'll keep going.
- 59:08And when you have something to tell me, let me know.
- 59:10I'll slow down. Olive unmute now listen.
- 59:13But it's like, ya know, that's kind of been pissing me off.
- 59:16But along with that, too, when I'm in some really story heavy
- 59:20section. And then it ends The that
- 59:22mission ends and then they give me a rating of like you did a
- 59:25great job. It's like I didn't deliver a
- 59:27package so I don't think that it really you're actively skipping.
- 59:31That I can see it. I you saw me do it where it's
- 59:34like, I finished that I finished chapter 11 and it gives it gave
- 59:37me a rating of how much health I lost and how, how far I
- 59:40traveled? Yes, I don't know how you did
- 59:42that. I got - I've got an S for pretty
- 59:45much everything I've done in the game.
- 59:46I don't know how, but like I've done anything, you just do your
- 59:49main lighting, right? Know, I've done some side quest
- 59:51but I guess. I guess is on, I get S has on
- 59:54everything, I don't know how but like I yeah I actively skip it
- 59:56because it's like nobody's great for going through this, you
- 1:00:00know, he'll skate Battlefield, that isn't even existing.
- 1:00:03Like nobody's giving me a performance for this.
- 1:00:05All right, look how Jeff Keel in that game and Joon gu, do I hung
- 1:00:09out with Conan O'Brien? I think that really says a lot
- 1:00:10that was really cool, he gives you the fucking hotter head,
- 1:00:13doesn't it? That's all I.
- 1:00:14Where is the otter helmet? I love it.
- 1:00:16You swim Superman. Anyways.
- 1:00:20You can I think this and when Halsey hopped on for Diablo, for
- 1:00:27you could odd, you audibly? And Visually saw me lose.
- 1:00:30I almost cried during this training to use announcement,
- 1:00:32dude like yeah, you're watching watching fragile and BB.
- 1:00:36I was like what the fuck is happening?
- 1:00:39But like the angel wings fucks me up in that trailer.
- 1:00:45Yeah I'm trying to remember but yeah baby baby.
- 1:00:48We're not going to say babies actual name, but beebe's BB's,
- 1:00:51wearing angel wings and I was like, oh my God stop.
- 1:00:56Yeah, you were like what in the world?
- 1:00:58Like what the fuck, but like seeing Norman Reedus again?
- 1:01:01Yeah look that's sick. Dude.
- 1:01:04Like I'm just curious. What other star-studded people
- 1:01:07Kojima has on this? He gave some but not all.
- 1:01:11So I understand the duality of people in game.
- 1:01:15Whereas when it comes to Kojima I get it.
- 1:01:18He is very pretentious sometimes but you can't deny this man's.
- 1:01:23I don't like creativity. I don't think that he's
- 1:01:26pretentious. I think the people that has that
- 1:01:29idolized him and worship him like a god are pretentious like
- 1:01:32for instance you have some that that's better phrasing of it,
- 1:01:34for instance, you do, but you're not bad about it.
- 1:01:37Where you're not like, well, I don't see how you couldn't.
- 1:01:39Like I did buy the shoes, he wore low.
- 1:01:42That is a different problem in, Tyler that relates more to
- 1:01:45financially responsible, and rather than rushing, after the
- 1:01:47show that is something I think. I'll have to bring up with
- 1:01:50people and be like, I think we need to get him some help guys.
- 1:01:52Like that's not. And I do have his book anyway.
- 1:01:55Like, I mean, this guy tweets about how he needs to pay his
- 1:01:58mortgage, but that he's buying all these different shoes.
- 1:02:00Like, I mean, this is obviously I'm just waiting at Celebrities
- 1:02:02seeing if they'll send me a couple Grand, my name of that,
- 1:02:07but I don't think it's him. I think it's mostly just like
- 1:02:11most things. In life, gamers are the cause to
- 1:02:13blame and it really does. And when, you know, you know me,
- 1:02:18I love to shit on my own people as much as I can.
- 1:02:21And I'm a gamer. The room through should honor
- 1:02:23audience all the time. I love you all but I love you
- 1:02:27know, you guys are. You guys are?
- 1:02:29You guys are cool. It's the rest of Twitter and the
- 1:02:32Twitter's base of Gamers, that really annoy me and people, I
- 1:02:36just meet in game, various through OverWatch Cod, whatever.
- 1:02:40And just people I see, See the the comments on like Twitter,
- 1:02:44YouTube, Red at whatever. And I don't think that had a I
- 1:02:48was pretty pretentious. I think he's got a story to tell
- 1:02:51with this training and I'd like it to a degree.
- 1:02:54I'd like the story. I'll say that it is.
- 1:02:56But it's harder for me to like it as much as I probably would
- 1:02:58have back in the day because I stopped for like a year and a
- 1:03:01half. Yeah, so like I remember
- 1:03:03everything but I just it doesn't impact me the same way.
- 1:03:07It's not hitting me the same way.
- 1:03:10But yeah, I don't think it's anything to do with him.
- 1:03:13Like I think he's in general a pretty cool guy.
- 1:03:15I mean I think he the fact that he was in a in a record store in
- 1:03:19Norway when he heard low Roar playing over the speakers and
- 1:03:22the storm was decided that that's how he was going to put
- 1:03:25low Roar in. The he goes, That's My
- 1:03:26soundtrack. Yeah.
- 1:03:27Which by the way, rest in peace to the lead singer of low Roar
- 1:03:30really sad to will hearing that song to that's why again like I
- 1:03:35almost teared up because like you hear that song, that they
- 1:03:38open up with Yeah, BBC and I'm like, oh yeah, the music in the
- 1:03:43game is very great. I love all the music that is
- 1:03:46industry Anning, but I like I said, I don't think it's him.
- 1:03:49I think it's a lot of just the people that want to pretend that
- 1:03:52he's like the the second coming of Christ, when it comes to
- 1:03:56making video games, like he's great, he's great.
- 1:03:59Don't get me wrong. I don't think my Metal Gear.
- 1:04:01Yeah, he made Metal Gear. I don't think he's a bad
- 1:04:03director. Producer, writer, whatever.
- 1:04:05I think he's got exceptional talent.
- 1:04:08I just don't think it's right. For anybody, right?
- 1:04:10I mean, this is coming from me, who loves Neil druckmann and,
- 1:04:14and, you know, like the Great's of, you know, in terms of
- 1:04:16moviemaking, like, I love Quentin Tarantino, my Martin
- 1:04:19Scorsese, James Cameron go, see Avatar to this Friday.
- 1:04:22It's going to be great or don't fine.
- 1:04:24Okay. All right, all right, that's
- 1:04:27because he took go see top gun. Maverick could do that.
- 1:04:29It's still in theaters. You go do that.
- 1:04:31Yeah, you should go do that. But anyway, like I love a lot of
- 1:04:35I'm not I think you would agree with this.
- 1:04:37I'm not somebody who likes to Go to like the the end of the the
- 1:04:44line in terms of what movies that can watch and pick the most
- 1:04:46obscure one, like I'm easily entered.
- 1:04:49Okay, I'm usually entertained, I like things that have substance.
- 1:04:53I can't just watch anything like for the love of God.
- 1:04:56I, if anybody takes me to another Marvel movie, that is
- 1:04:58not Guardians of the Galaxy. Vol 3, I will lose my mind.
- 1:05:01It's the only one I care about. Are we gonna do a Wast?
- 1:05:04Go to the movies theater. So we totally should, that would
- 1:05:07be awesome. Wizard of the Bruiser I was at
- 1:05:10the oh, well, just find a different name for it.
- 1:05:13Okay, we got okay, cool. But like I'm not I'm not
- 1:05:15somebody who needs to find something super obscure and full
- 1:05:18of really weird themes and tonalities to get some enjoyment
- 1:05:22out of it. Like, yeah, I think I think some
- 1:05:24people like that are pretentious who need to find something that
- 1:05:27makes absolutely no sense at all and make sense of it all.
- 1:05:30And then make sense of it and pretend like it's the greatest
- 1:05:32thing they've ever seen. Look at look at because you know
- 1:05:35how I watch movies. I like really crazy out there.
- 1:05:39R. Yeah yeah.
- 1:05:40Yes, I do. Absolutely.
- 1:05:42But even so Crimes of the future came out.
- 1:05:45Yeah. You can.
- 1:05:46This is dog shit. You're like this is one of the
- 1:05:50worst things I've ever watched and I was like Logan.
- 1:05:53You were all hyped for it too, dude.
- 1:05:55I was stoked. I was like the Gores gonna be
- 1:05:57sweet. The body mutilation is going to
- 1:05:59be sweet. The story should be cool.
- 1:06:01Leah said o was in it. She's a, she's a part of what
- 1:06:05else we're talking about right now as well with the like it was
- 1:06:08dumb as fuck. It was a dumb fucking movie, he
- 1:06:12should feel bad for making it. You're better than that bro.
- 1:06:14You made the fly anyways. So you know.
- 1:06:17Yeah I agree with you. I think that I think that you
- 1:06:20know and I think that's the same thing though with the stranding
- 1:06:22right? Where it's like is destronium
- 1:06:24good absolutely. I think it, I think it deserves
- 1:06:25a lot of Praise. I think it certainly.
- 1:06:28I don't know what awards it won. I'm sure it won some and I'm
- 1:06:30sure he deserved those but I'm also not one of those people
- 1:06:32that's reaching and trying to be like no it says so much about us
- 1:06:35and it says so much about who we are.
- 1:06:37Like, I'm sure it does. But as you know, the day Other
- 1:06:40story kind of overshadowed by the fact that I had to deliver
- 1:06:44pizzas to some bitch. Okay.
- 1:06:45Like what you do have to do that and you have to be on time with
- 1:06:48it and I have to be on time with it.
- 1:06:50Like I have to deliver right now.
- 1:06:51I have to deliver a crate of fucking bugs that can't get wet.
- 1:06:55Like, is the story is the story great.
- 1:06:58Yes, it is. But when I have to go and
- 1:07:00deliver shit like that, it really kind of takes away from
- 1:07:02the fact. Once again, that's not a slight
- 1:07:04on Kojima. By any means, I understand that
- 1:07:06what it's certainly unique I want to give I want to give it
- 1:07:10that you're sitting there going. How do I tell people?
- 1:07:13I do like the game while also understanding the absurdity of
- 1:07:18what I'm doing? Well yes, yes, this is a game
- 1:07:20where they're telling me that. I'm the only one who can
- 1:07:22basically stop the end of the world.
- 1:07:24And to do that, I have to deliver a creative bugs grave
- 1:07:27like it's not over, you got Haws, you got cause you got
- 1:07:32Dooms, you got repatriating, it's a the game is a lot.
- 1:07:38I have a guy named ed man who calls Has me every five minutes,
- 1:07:41like, the game is absurd, but the story itself is fantastic
- 1:07:45and and because of how unique the story is, it's why I've
- 1:07:49continued to play it. If the story didn't have
- 1:07:50Marriott, I certainly wouldn't continue to play it.
- 1:07:53I would have stopped. It's visually.
- 1:07:54Fantastic looks great. But at the end of the day to, I
- 1:07:57really don't want to deliver a whole bunch of heavy shit into
- 1:07:59snow like oh the game is making your pages.
- 1:08:03I was making a joke to good. Nick, I was like this is the new
- 1:08:05Amazon training Simulator for when they have delivery drivers.
- 1:08:08Like this is what they're going to.
- 1:08:10Play. But it's not going to look as
- 1:08:11pretty. You're not going to have music
- 1:08:13and you can't go to the bathroom and that's exactly how if I
- 1:08:16could get those suits. Bro, I would.
- 1:08:18Oh yeah, I would quit. Mmkay, go to fucking Amazon.
- 1:08:22Get a fucking death stranding soon.
- 1:08:24I'd quit there and go back to him.
- 1:08:25Okay, there you go. You just take the suit with you.
- 1:08:27Yeah, get your name on you later.
- 1:08:28I mean, I'm in case hired me for X.
- 1:08:30So you go here, I stayed next like, stay winning out here, but
- 1:08:34yeah, so I'm excited for, I'm excited for DS2.
- 1:08:39That's why I'm trying to Is this now?
- 1:08:40So I can just be done with it for when the game comes.
- 1:08:42Yeah, we're about to cut, we're about to wrap it up.
- 1:08:43So so yeah, I'm excited for it. I'm excited for a lot of things.
- 1:08:47I saw mainly the thing that comes to mind first for me, is
- 1:08:52Jedi Survivor bed. Probably the thing I'm most
- 1:08:54excited for Des training to is probably a close second there.
- 1:08:57Because while I am excited for, I also am not expecting it for
- 1:09:01like another seven years. Yeah, other than that.
- 1:09:05Other than that, I mean the Judas game from the Bioshock
- 1:09:08crater, looks pool. I'm excited for Suicide, Squad
- 1:09:11and party animals will be fun for everybody.
- 1:09:14Excited to see doing Awakening and the less of Us Part 1 is
- 1:09:17going to be a must buy when I can so that nothing really got
- 1:09:21my eyes much. So for me, it goes to death.
- 1:09:25Stranding Jedi Fallen, that's not Fallen, Jedi surviving, Jedi
- 1:09:30Survivor. You got, let's see, armored
- 1:09:34Corps. There's a lot here that I
- 1:09:36enjoyed Baldur's Gate three But you know really for me was a
- 1:09:42stranding and Diablo for I know Diablo for got a lot of heat
- 1:09:47right now with what they're doing but I'm so stoked for it.
- 1:09:50Right. You're still excited meet your
- 1:09:51maker again is one of those games.
- 1:09:53I suggest everybody play. I really can't plug it enough.
- 1:09:57Play meet your maker. It's amazing.
- 1:09:59And yeah man I mean this year's game and and Space Marine to
- 1:10:04yes. Miss French's without a fucking
- 1:10:06doubt Space Marine to. That's going to be a lot of fun.
- 1:10:08I would say This year's game awards was good.
- 1:10:11It was really good. It was better than last year's.
- 1:10:14It's cool that open to the public.
- 1:10:15Let's send off on. Well what?
- 1:10:17Okay, before we end off on one last note, which you know where
- 1:10:20we're going to end off? Now, what do you think the game
- 1:10:22words really quick? I thought it was pretty good.
- 1:10:27I think that there is not a lot that's covered though, about
- 1:10:29some of the things that happened and went down.
- 1:10:31Like I heard that Geoff, keighley forced any developers
- 1:10:34to take off their Union pins. That's ridiculous.
- 1:10:37I think that's something to be talked about.
- 1:10:40That's ridiculous more. So, because maybe for me, I
- 1:10:43don't necessarily understand the reason as to why they had to
- 1:10:45take them off and I'd like to know more about that.
- 1:10:48Okay, Union boss, like, yeah. So I'd like to know a bit more
- 1:10:53about that and then I I'd also like in the coming years for the
- 1:10:56game awards, one clamp down on your fucking descriptions for
- 1:10:59these Awards and why we're giving them to people, please.
- 1:11:01And thank you. Give us a description as to why
- 1:11:03this particular nominee deserves to win it.
- 1:11:05I don't want to especially for like Innovation and
- 1:11:07accessibility. I want to understand why I'm
- 1:11:10voting for somebody, rather than just being like, Oh, I'm picking
- 1:11:12them because it looks cool and I liked the game like which is
- 1:11:14gross is, why because I, that's why I picked out of work because
- 1:11:17I was like, out of was probably going to win it and I'm going to
- 1:11:19vote for it. But realistically did they have
- 1:11:21anything different that last was part to had in there and
- 1:11:23accessibility Biblia not. So I'd like to know exactly why
- 1:11:26I'm voting for them or really because I tried to really take
- 1:11:29my bias away from a lot of the times, I was Voting this year
- 1:11:32and I tried to look at it directly as because I think I
- 1:11:35voted for best game Direction. I voted for stray because I was
- 1:11:38like this is a unique more unique game is.
- 1:11:40It's a cat game, whatever. It's different because I looked
- 1:11:43at the game award itself and in the description of it and that's
- 1:11:47why I gave it to certain things that normally I probably would
- 1:11:49have given it to somebody else but if I took my bias away, I
- 1:11:53gave it to you. Things that I didn't compare
- 1:11:57when it came to game of the year.
- 1:11:58I did not compare Elden ring to God of War.
- 1:12:00I said, why on this scale for me, these three things, what
- 1:12:05does God of War reach for me? And that, is that why I'm voting
- 1:12:08for it? And I said, yes.
- 1:12:09And that's why I voted for it. I think that people spend far
- 1:12:12too much time when it comes to words, like these comparing
- 1:12:14games and going, well, this is why it should win over that, and
- 1:12:17I don't think that's necessarily Fair, because that's not, that's
- 1:12:20not what they do. At the Oscars.
- 1:12:21They don't compare. A fucking Multiverse of Madness
- 1:12:24to Crimes of the future to top gun Maverick to Avatar 3.
- 1:12:28Because you know how that works, it doesn't, you can't compare
- 1:12:31them, they're all completely different.
- 1:12:32So, same thing with Eldon, compare Eldon ring to God of
- 1:12:34War. In a sense of that actually
- 1:12:36makes sense. It doesn't the combats
- 1:12:38completely different, the story's different, the
- 1:12:39narrations different, the music is different, everything is
- 1:12:41different about it. So all and I loved it.
- 1:12:44I thought I like the Game Awards this year because I thought that
- 1:12:48a lot of good reveals, got a lot of good trailers.
- 1:12:50I love the bear McCreary. And Hozier stuff for God of War.
- 1:12:55Halsey making a special appearance is pretty cool.
- 1:12:56Al Pacino is a huge win for now. But I think that there are some
- 1:13:02things to be clamped down on like, union-busting and security
- 1:13:08things that I think you'd like to lead into where we are.
- 1:13:11Ending this up. So it off.
- 1:13:12Bill Clinton kid. Wow, I was wild, it's not as it
- 1:13:19is, but people made it a huge thing.
- 1:13:22They're like, well, he's anti-semitic.
- 1:13:23I'm like, no, the kids Jewish, but it was like, he's like a
- 1:13:27Creator. Yeah, he's a, he's a Jewish
- 1:13:29prankster He is, he's a little Jewish prankster.
- 1:13:35So like, oh whatever, man. We I the funny, the funniest
- 1:13:41thing was after the game awards, this kid.
- 1:13:47How's that came for this kid after you derailed the entire
- 1:13:50game boards? Yeah, that's all anybody talked
- 1:13:52about it. Already talked about is this at
- 1:13:54night? It was it wasn't who won game of
- 1:13:58the year. It was, that was fucking weird.
- 1:14:01Yeah, everybody changing their name to something related to it
- 1:14:04and my name on Discord in our server right now is the next
- 1:14:09Brad by Bill Clinton. Not know what is it reformed,
- 1:14:13Orthodox? Rabbi climbed.
- 1:14:16Yes. Yes.
- 1:14:17So that kid? I don't know, man.
- 1:14:19He's being interviewed by. So he got arrested.
- 1:14:21Yeah. Yes, got tortured in the back
- 1:14:24rooms that let me Logan, posted where they bring back the
- 1:14:27fucking like, the, the fucking red.
- 1:14:30If that Geoff keighley was in last.
- 1:14:32Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:14:33They present present hilarious. It was funny.
- 1:14:35Stop taking it too serious. People like just catch me
- 1:14:38ashamed, dude. He's like.
- 1:14:41Yeah. So so my only thought on that
- 1:14:43and I don't I don't have a problem with the kid really
- 1:14:45doing it. I do have a problem.
- 1:14:48Yeah I have a problem with this year he could because let's just
- 1:14:51especially he walked up with Miyazaki.
- 1:14:53Well let's just we live where we live.
- 1:14:56You know what? That is.
- 1:14:57Yeah. Usually when a kid in a big
- 1:15:00black coat walks up on stage, it might not end well.
- 1:15:03So let's be glad that all he had to say was that instead of
- 1:15:06something far worse. Exactly?
- 1:15:08But well, it's that's for weapons goal.
- 1:15:11Okay. Then?
- 1:15:12Yeah, they check for weapons everywhere.
- 1:15:13It doesn't work. Like exactly.
- 1:15:15Exactly. Exactly.
- 1:15:17So I don't really give a shit when anybody goes with a check
- 1:15:19for weapons and no this isn't a call for more gun control and be
- 1:15:22careful. It's a call for the security
- 1:15:23actually do something. They watch some kid who wasn't
- 1:15:26with the rest of the people walking up just follow along.
- 1:15:29Like on controller. Be nice, but it's not the right
- 1:15:33time. I get it.
- 1:15:34But like, I mean now? Yeah, right.
- 1:15:36Like, I'm so glad that, that's all he said, right?
- 1:15:39But I also understand, it could have been a way way worse.
- 1:15:43That could have been something that could have been something a
- 1:15:45lot crazier. So, you know, like, let's be
- 1:15:47glad that's wild. Let's be glad that's all it was,
- 1:15:50right? But I think that's just like I
- 1:15:52said before, you let him do it. Just, that's more of a security
- 1:15:55thing. Not the kid.
- 1:15:56That's more of here. First off.
- 1:16:00How does that kid, get those seats?
- 1:16:02Yeah. Like, I mean, we're talking to
- 1:16:03the public, I understand, but the that he was right behind
- 1:16:08from software, well, they probably don't do something.
- 1:16:11They probably only have like the first draw certain amount.
- 1:16:14Rose Way you got to have the devs and the fucking teams and
- 1:16:17the actors. I don't know.
- 1:16:19Listen, that's why I'm saying. I think that may be the only the
- 1:16:21first five or six rows up across.
- 1:16:24And that's all that should be. They should be fucking like,
- 1:16:28they should have him. Because this don't open it up to
- 1:16:30the Divide. Don't open it up to the public
- 1:16:32as the public need to be an award show.
- 1:16:33They don't have it. They don't have anything to
- 1:16:35provide other than just although I do like the fans yelling.
- 1:16:38I'll say that. I think where I do love that,
- 1:16:41that's funny. What I think happened is this, I
- 1:16:43think this kid and his little Discord Community was like, I'm
- 1:16:46going to do this ever went raise the money and they exactly they
- 1:16:50went. Nah, he's like, no, I will if
- 1:16:52you get me to the game awards and they went, yeah, if you get
- 1:16:54me there, I'll do it like, game on.
- 1:16:57All right, here's your ticket. Go do it.
- 1:16:59He went fools and he did it. Yeah.
- 1:17:01Even so he got to see Halsey live.
- 1:17:04He got to watch out Pacino. Give Christian award.
- 1:17:08Probably isn't even a real Pacino as let's be honest.
- 1:17:10True. But you got to see all those
- 1:17:12games revealed. Yeah.
- 1:17:13Yeah. He spent barely a night in jail
- 1:17:15because he said minor. Yeah, that's maybe the bigger
- 1:17:19thing is. Maybe he shouldn't have been
- 1:17:20allowed as he was not was he's not 18 15 or something like
- 1:17:24that. Yeah.
- 1:17:24And why would you what my thinking on over there in
- 1:17:27California? He is doing Bill Clinton, kid.
- 1:17:32We're supposed to wrap this up mean age.
- 1:17:34I know I know, People are saying he's 12, he's not 12.
- 1:17:40What is that 12? He's like he's like 16.
- 1:17:44What are you 16? His name is Matt an but an Evan
- 1:17:49Right Matan. Sorry, I don't know.
- 1:17:55He's a fifteen-year-old prankster named Matt an even
- 1:17:59even okay. I said, I screwed up my name.
- 1:18:01His bio says, I nominated the gear, the game of the year award
- 1:18:06to Rabbi Bill Clinton. Yeah, so he's just a shit poster
- 1:18:10and like, that's fine. But my biggest thing with that,
- 1:18:13right? It was as funny as it was.
- 1:18:14I'm glad that it was funny and not something that would have
- 1:18:17been way 15 years. He's 15.
- 1:18:19Yeah, so there is not right there should have been an
- 1:18:22immediate you're not allowed to go.
- 1:18:24Why are you here? You shouldn't.
- 1:18:25Be allowed to go until the last 21 or with, or with an adult,
- 1:18:30but he wasn't with an adult. Like they don't let you into
- 1:18:35Lucky Strike after nine, if you're, if you're not 21, how
- 1:18:38does a, how does a shit bowling alley with alcohol have more
- 1:18:41security than the game or whatever.
- 1:18:44We thought it was funny and that guy gets perform a content
- 1:18:47creator of the year. I know it was it went to
- 1:18:49somebody else Ludwig or something.
- 1:18:51Who cares? Oh, you did a stream for 30
- 1:18:54days, you never stopped. She's sleeping give you money.
- 1:18:56That's cool. Guess what?
- 1:18:57That guy got into the game awards at 15.
- 1:18:59Ran after the joke. What did Ludwig masturbate?
- 1:19:03He didn't. That was the job for 30 days.
- 1:19:06No, like, he didn't and I don't know why anybody gives a shit
- 1:19:09about. Like, I don't care, like,
- 1:19:11stupid. I hate twitch and I hate this
