0:14
Matt is the dad who went and got a pack of smokes, never came.
0:18
Back. I was going to make that joke
0:19
too. Yeah.
0:19
Thank you. Yeah, he's a he's a dumb piece
0:21
of shit dumpy. He left the he left the family.
0:23
He didn't want to deal with it. Yeah, he's a dumpy bitch.
0:26
He just wants the residuals later.
0:28
Yeah, he's a dumpy bitch. That's funny.
0:31
I've I've been I was watching him play dispatch before you you
0:34
came over and I'm surprised that he's already made it to episode
0:38
8. He's already done with the whole
0:40
show and he started or the whole game and he started playing like
0:42
a couple days ago and I was like, damn, I was like, I
0:45
basically played an episode every night.
0:46
Give or. Take is he off work right now?
0:48
No, I think he just has free time during the day if the Tara
0:53
and. The Nikki.
0:55
Nikki, thank you. Tara and Nikki are gone but I
1:02
don't. I have only gotten like glimpses
1:07
of his playthrough through John of which I will read them on
1:10
stream. Because neither of them listen
1:11
or not. Not on stream, but on on the
1:13
show because neither of them listen to this because they're
1:15
not good friends. Yeah, they're bad friends.
1:17
It's going to be so funny if this is the first episode they
1:19
listen to. Bad friends going to hell.
1:23
He said I messaged him today because I saw them in the
1:26
Discord today at noon. I said tell me the decisions he
1:28
makes. Is he going for Invisigal?
1:30
And John said he's flirting with them both.
1:32
Not that that should surprise you.
1:34
In the same seconds that he sent this message, I said I should
1:37
have known. So we know Matt quite well and
1:43
then he said that he in this current portion of dispatch, he
1:46
had downed Prism and Gollum. And I said that also checks out
1:50
because Matt is Matt's racist Nate's non humanoid forms.
1:54
So there you go, Matt. That's.
1:59
That's that's PB Freak 42 on Twitch if you want to.
2:02
Know penis breath freak 42. He's going to be, he's just
2:05
going to wake up to a flurry of DMS. He's going to be like, what
2:08
the fuck, guys? Matthew Grant, PB Freak 42.
2:14
Impressive. Check them out everybody.
2:18
And the city of. I'll bleep it out.
2:22
Anyways, everybody, welcome back to another episode of the WASD
2:26
and Beyond podcast. We are heroes.
2:29
Nick and Evan. Before we get into this, we are
2:32
proudly sponsored by The One, proudly the only Final boss and
2:37
Doc Longy. Go check them out.
2:39
Links down below. Go buy the rest of their shit
2:42
they got on the store. Good stuff.
2:43
I'm wearing the 9 inch nail shirt right now from Final Boss.
2:46
Love it love it love it. Also please check out the other
2:49
shows Roll for Deception and it came from Screen Box.
2:52
Lots of cool stuff happening on those shows.
2:55
YouTube's coming back shortly. Well, more.
2:58
Roll for deception takes a little while there's.
3:01
Production value in that. There is production value.
3:04
Yes, there is production value in that.
3:05
Whereas WASD and beyond it, it came from screen.
3:08
Yeah, there's production value in screen box because we watch
3:10
the movie, then we do the thing. I would argue there's the most
3:13
production value in screen box because you guys watch a movie
3:15
and then record the thing. Yeah, rule for deception is is
3:20
basically 3 hours of like light edited content.
3:25
Yeah. I've actually never personally
3:28
listened to them other than when I've missed them because I play
3:32
it, I don't need to listen to it.
3:33
I mean, I give it the 40 seconds so that way it gets the the
3:36
listen, but I don't, I don't actually, I I hate hearing
3:39
hearing myself on recording it. Really.
3:42
Oh, I hate it. I hate it.
3:43
I know I have a radio voice but I hate it.
3:44
I have a very I have a very nasally voice whenever I hear
3:47
myself and it bothers me so. Oh, you know what?
3:52
What? Go listen to me on Podcasting
3:54
with Power. Yes.
3:56
Zach and Jordan are gems. Yes.
3:58
Hi, Zach. We work today.
4:00
Hi, Zach. Hi Jordan.
4:01
We, yeah, we work with, we work with Zach.
4:03
Go support our friends. We're going to plug them in
4:05
every episode from now on because they're of course, and
4:08
you should go check them out. I'll put a link down below for
4:11
Podcast with power. I was just on the episode about
4:13
the Super Mario Brothers movie. Not the one you've watched, one
4:17
from the. 90s I've never seen any of them so.
4:19
I was talking to the audience. Oh.
4:22
Yeah, wait. I just wanted to leave that.
4:27
Yeah, we'll just, we'll just, we'll just sweep that one away.
4:30
What have you been playing this week, Evan?
4:32
Oh man, Nick, I'm so happy to talk to you today.
4:39
What have I been playing this week?
4:40
I played on Tuesday. I played.
4:43
I played Arc Raiders because I wanted to play the new map.
4:46
The ribbon Tides I think is how you.
4:48
Say, is there like a new glider too?
4:50
So that I did not get access to. I only played.
4:52
I'll, I'll be honest, I only played two matches.
4:56
The first one I escaped in, but that was really light.
5:01
There is no enemies or anything like that.
5:03
I just kind of was able to get a couple arcs and then leave.
5:06
The second one is a little more PvP heavy.
5:12
Here's the thing, I see why people are still playing this
5:15
game. As a matter of fact, we looked
5:16
earlier today or I looked earlier today.
5:18
Marathon is not doing well. Marathon is not doing well, but
5:22
what I was more focusing on, even though these are different
5:24
titles and different, they're both shooters but different
5:29
styles. Battlefield 6 on Steam.
5:33
Currently it's all time it's 24 hour peak of over the past day
5:38
which we're recording this on Thursday the 30th it's it's 24
5:43
hour peak was 40,000. That's.
5:46
Great. On Steam on No, no, no, no, no.
5:50
That's no, no, no, no, no. 40,000 is bad, Nick.
5:54
Do you know why? It was in the IT was in the
5:58
multiple hundreds of thousands in October on Steam.
6:02
Oh, that's very bad. And like as in, and this is
6:04
where I this is where I'm getting into as an example, at
6:07
the same time Arc Raiders on Steam DB was at 92,000 92,000.
6:15
That is that is eclipsing marathon on Steam by several
6:20
amounts. Like it's like it's like 8000.
6:22
It was like 8000. It's like it's like single
6:24
thousands. It's not even double.
6:26
I would like to see the numbers for Marathon on console.
6:29
That's true. That's that's a fairpoint.
6:31
However, I think that they would be arguably as bad, if not
6:34
worse, but. Should have made it a single
6:37
player game as well. I think that probably would
6:39
have, would have saved them. So that gives me a, that gives
6:42
me a, an interesting thing of why does Arc Raiders survive?
6:45
And I don't know if that's the PBE aspect.
6:47
I don't know, 'cause I'm not a PVE player.
6:49
I don't, especially in a, in an extraction shooter, not my gym.
6:54
I I want to fight people like that's my, my, my goal.
6:59
I think it survives because of the community.
7:02
I think because it's not as hardcore as it needs to be.
7:08
It's accessible marathon for as and let's just get this out the
7:13
gate. Marathon is a blast.
7:15
Marathon is. Very.
7:16
It's not a bad game, this. I'm actually.
7:19
Great game that we want to go back to.
7:21
This this weekend I'm excited to play it because they're now
7:24
apparently giving everyone a Cryo Archive kit on the
7:27
weekends, so you have a kit that you can use for free to just run
7:31
in for the first time. And I didn't really play too
7:33
much of Cryo Archive, so I want to actually give and try it.
7:35
We will run through cryo. We'll do it.
7:38
Marathon is again fantastic. Great stuff, smooth, beautiful.
7:45
Love the game, the loop is awesome, but it is not
7:49
accessible. It is not accessible to someone
7:51
like me who works 40 sometimes 50 hours a week depending upon
7:56
our our workload. Right, like.
7:57
Yeah, depending on how much work we have going on.
7:59
Yeah. We're, we're working a little
8:01
bit longer each day. Yeah.
8:02
Sure. So I get on and the last thing I
8:05
really want to do is hop into a game where there have been kids
8:10
playing and people playing from fucking 3:00 AM up until the
8:14
time I'm off at 5:00, get home at 7:00 almost.
8:17
And they're just, they know the tricks.
8:19
They've watched the burnt peanut, they've watched fucking
8:24
all those other big streamers. I can't believe I just called
8:26
him out and no one else. That sucks.
8:28
I mean, you have, you have a lot of streamers, right?
8:30
You have. You have.
8:30
Shroud and you have. You know, you have a lot of
8:34
people that are playing these games and I think that comes in
8:36
hand in hand with unfortunately just the gaming scene in general
8:39
to not to cut you off, but to tie into what you're saying,
8:43
there's that there's a lot of people who wants to.
8:45
Play like them. There's there's a lot of people
8:47
who just want to play like them and there's a lot of people who
8:48
have a lot of free time on their hands to, to just like mainline
8:53
the game and a lot of people who just figure out what they need
8:56
to do right then and there to get like the levels the
8:58
quickest. And that's all they do for like
8:59
a week and a half. Like, I'll be perfectly honest,
9:02
I am not someone who can reasonably sit down for weeks
9:07
and weeks and weeks and play the exact same shooter.
9:10
I can't play Battlefield 6. I wish I could play like.
9:13
I think I probably played Battlefield 6 for like a good
9:17
week and a half, two weeks when it, when it came out like
9:20
everyday at least for a couple of hours.
9:22
I played for those first, like maybe that first month.
9:25
But I am not someone who can reasonably get on and play only
9:32
one game for multiple hours a day and multiple like weeks at a
9:38
time. Like I I'll fail at that.
9:40
I can't, I can't do it. Like I can do it for a couple
9:43
days Max, maybe a week or two weeks at the most.
9:46
Absolutely. If it's a game I really love and
9:48
I'm really pushing for. But like other than that, man,
9:51
you lose me because I'm going to want to try other things.
9:53
I'm going to want to play other games that either come out or
9:55
I'm going to want to go back to games that I want to finish or
9:59
what, what have you. But like, that's kind of been
10:01
the other reason I haven't run into Marathon or Arc Raiders
10:05
that much, because I know that as soon as I load it up, I'm
10:07
going to be put in a lobby where there's a minimum, a couple of
10:10
people who have been not doing nothing but playing this game.
10:14
And I'm going to get, I'm going to get killed by them.
10:17
And yeah, I think, I think that is, I think that is the case.
10:19
I think that it's unfortunate that Marathon is not as
10:23
accessible because I don't think it's exceptionally hardcore.
10:25
You don't have to focus on your food or eating 'cause you don't
10:28
need to do those things 'cause you're not a human being.
10:31
And you also like, it's just, it's, it's gunplay.
10:37
It's, it's, it's that, it's that gunplay that Bungie is so good
10:42
at. Yeah, like I want to play more
10:45
dude. It's just been difficult to
10:47
justify. And the other thing is, it's
10:48
been. Difficult.
10:49
Give me a 5V5. Just give me like they're
10:51
supposedly supposedly. I.
10:53
Supposedly it's coming. Out but that's but that's the
10:55
thing right is that it shows that the initial concept of the
10:57
game failed because you're having to develop a game mode
11:00
that you like. In my opinion, right.
11:02
This is kind of maybe maybe this is an odd tie in and I know that
11:05
we're still in just the what have you played phase the
11:07
episode. But like apex was great because
11:12
it was a it was shadow dropped and it was a three person battle
11:15
Royale, right? For free, for free.
11:18
And then I think it was a year or a year and a half later, they
11:21
introduced A3V3 mode and I arguably liked the three V3 mode
11:26
more than I liked the. We had a lot more fun.
11:28
I had way more fun in the 3V3 mode, and I feel like that's the
11:32
exact same case I'd have with Marathon, 'cause I love the
11:34
marathon gunplay and the combat and the weapons and the grenades
11:38
in the world so much. But when you put me in a
11:40
position where I basically have to play it and I could be doing
11:44
a story mission that I'm really in depth in and I'm like caring
11:47
about, they are. But like, let's just say I'm
11:51
like the first time I played Outpost, the first time I played
11:54
Outpost in that game, it was, it was a dream.
11:56
I was bold disclosure, completely baked and I got into
12:01
the lobby and I'm I'm immediately met with the the
12:06
most like the most violent weather I've seen in the game so
12:10
far. It's a complete thunderstorm.
12:12
It's in its dark. So like the only things that are
12:15
getting lit up in certain areas are only happening when the
12:18
lightning strikes. So like, that's an immediate
12:20
like real cool vibe and arena to be playing in, you know, and
12:26
that's that's what Marathon has captured for me in a lot of
12:28
ways. Is that like the the the feeling
12:31
of what this is is there. Like, I love the futuristic
12:34
setting. I love the multiple corporations
12:37
vying for the same data back story and me being one of those
12:43
operators, essentially those agents working on behalf of
12:46
them. And it all works out great.
12:49
But man, it would like you said it would have been so much
12:52
better as a single player experience because that
12:54
experience of me running in there can be immediately ruined
12:57
because somebody who's either played way too much of it or
13:00
just has had no time, like all the free time to just mainline
13:03
this game is going to crush me. Or I'm going to be doing a story
13:06
mission and being involved in that thinking I'm, I'm again,
13:10
it's like, and I'm going to get jumped by somebody who's not
13:13
like who's just camping in a corner and they're going to kill
13:15
me and I guess. You're right out of the game.
13:18
Maybe it sort of Harkins back to like the sort of weird way that
13:21
the first Titanfall game did their story where you only could
13:24
play it through multiplayer lobbies, so you just kind of got
13:27
locked into whatever game, like whatever mission.
13:30
Marathon full single player experience.
13:33
Well, right, well, and that's and that's kind of what I'm
13:35
thinking is like what if you guys had made a single player
13:38
campaign with Marathon and then you had done like a secondary
13:41
mode that was the extraction shooter?
13:42
Because I think that honestly that probably.
13:44
Was not a type game. That would have sold better for
13:46
me because I would have been like, OK, I get the single
13:48
player experience, which is great because it's a bungee
13:50
title and it's fun and the gunplay is great.
13:53
The story is the story in the world is already there.
13:56
Yeah, you already have that stuff.
13:58
So like, that's great. And then I have this cool
14:00
extraction shooter mode that I can play when I'm bored or when
14:02
I want to like jump into it and have.
14:03
Harkening back to the maps I played on.
14:05
Yeah, it it, it advances the story in some ways and it yeah,
14:09
I go back to the maps I played in the in the single player, but
14:12
like they went all in on that. And I think that's just like, I
14:17
think trying to make as a, as a studio that's known for making
14:20
like, I mean, they made Destiny. And I know how great Destiny is
14:23
for a lot of people. I mean, yeah.
14:25
It was still thriving, yeah. It is and and I think that
14:28
Marathon is unfortunately not thriving because it is not as
14:31
robust. It just isn't it.
14:33
You have one game mode, you have one game mode on 4 maps and only
14:37
three of those maps you can access every single day.
14:40
Like the only the the 4th 1, the final one is, you know, a a
14:43
periodic thing. So I don't know, but I like how
14:48
this is just our our section of what have you been playing?
14:50
And it's turned into a whole tangent.
14:53
So what else have you played? Other than that, I got to be
14:57
honest with you, man, looking at my whole library here trying to
15:04
find a game, I finished Expedition 33.
15:08
I guess that's, I guess that's, that's, that's a nice thing,
15:11
right? I finished.
15:12
That were you playing DS2 today? I was playing DS2 today.
15:16
That was that was the game I was playing today.
15:18
Oh, I guess actually no. So DS2, great.
15:20
However, Kojima, you got to build melee combat controls,
15:24
man. I don't know what the fuck you
15:26
want me to do when I'm fighting the guys with the ghost blades
15:28
because all I can fucking hit is circle and circle just hits.
15:32
I have no option to block your left, your left trigger, your L2
15:36
or L1, and then X to dodge. That doesn't make any sense.
15:39
Why would I fall to the floor when I'm fighting guys with
15:42
swords? That's like the dumbest thing.
15:44
Sorry Kojima, I just had to say that, but.
15:46
He deserves it. He deserves.
15:47
He deserves. It we'll.
15:48
Actually talk about Kojima later.
15:50
So we should because that was that was not because of this,
15:54
but that was a particularly rough section for me because it
15:56
wasn't difficult when I played it on the PS-5 before.
16:00
But I got my ass kicked today dude.
16:02
I got killed like 3 times in that game and I know I'm playing
16:04
on the hardest difficulty so it's like 2.
16:06
Hits which I can't believe you're doing that, but I, I need
16:08
you. I I really need you to beat the
16:11
game. I know I'm trying to.
16:12
I am. And that's why I was.
16:13
That's what I was doing today. We could do our late.
16:16
Review of the game here. That is my next game to finish
16:19
because I, as I've said to you privately, and I'll say here on
16:22
the show, not that it matters because you know, who cares
16:24
about what I'm going to play or finish or not, but like, I'm not
16:27
going to finish Crimson Desert. I'll just be completely honest
16:30
here. It's way too it's way too much
16:33
in scope, and it's not a complaint by any means.
16:36
We got to get Noah here. Talk about.
16:37
Crimson. No one knows way more.
16:39
No one knows way more about Crimson Desert than I am.
16:41
Well, and he. Came from.
16:42
Screen box yes, Co host of it came from screen box.
16:47
I'm just never going to finish that brains of that.
16:49
Operation. DS2 is going to be the next game
16:52
that I finish on here, so there's that.
16:56
A big game that I've been playing this week that NOAA,
16:59
Speaking of NOAA that he and I have both been getting back into
17:02
is Kerbal Space Program. We've been very inspired by the
17:06
launch of Artemis 2 last month, and we've been wanting to play
17:09
more of that. So we've actually downloaded the
17:11
original Kerbal Space Program and we've filled it with mods,
17:15
both visual and parts related. Which is fun to watch on my end.
17:19
Yeah, I know that you, like you and a lot of the other guys like
17:21
watching us launch our rockets and going into like different
17:24
places. I actually installed a bunch of
17:26
mods where I have different star systems to go to, but not only
17:29
are they different star systems, there are wormholes in the
17:32
system that you start in. So you can go to those
17:34
wormholes, fall in and then get transported to the other side.
17:39
It is really cool. However, it's absolutely
17:41
terrifying because there isn't AI don't know what it is, but
17:45
like, you know what philosophobia is?
17:47
It's the fear of like, open oceans, like like.
17:50
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, you're in the middle of the
17:51
Pacific Ocean is just completely empty.
17:54
You have that with like being in the middle of space.
17:56
Yeah, I don't know what it is, because terrifying.
17:59
It's nothingness, that's why. Well, it, it's terrifying, but
18:02
it's like it's not real because I'm I'm sitting at my desk,
18:05
right? I'm in a physical space, but
18:06
like there and not that isn't, but you know what I'm saying?
18:10
Well, like when I was playing the other day and I was playing
18:12
Kerbal Space Program, I was actually letting a whole like
18:15
space plane fall into a wormhole to go to one of those star
18:17
systems. And I'm, but I did it in first
18:19
person. So in first person I, it's, it's
18:24
great because you look to your right and there's a Kerbal
18:26
that's smiling like, yeah, this is fun.
18:28
And it's like you're falling into this thing dying.
18:31
But then the worst part for me was that I was sitting there in
18:33
the first person view and all of a sudden I saw all of the space
18:37
plane like parts glitching out and moving around.
18:40
Like I could see the wings coming in front of the ship.
18:43
Nope. And I was like, I'm not going
18:45
into third person to see what's going on.
18:46
And I'm just closing the game. It's like I'm done.
18:49
Jesus Christ. But yeah, that's kind of what
18:51
I've been playing. It's been a little bit of Arc,
18:53
it's been a little bit of Death Stranding, KSP.
18:55
I really, it's kind of been it. Honestly, I haven't, I have
18:59
replaced. I need to start playing that.
19:01
You should. It's phenomenal.
19:03
I know I do. I'm.
19:04
I'm excited to start that. But yeah, that's kind of been,
19:06
that's been it for me. I've dipped my toe into some
19:09
like Cyberpunk and Elder Ring in Crimson Desert, but it's been
19:12
very brief. I haven't played too much.
19:15
Got it. Yeah.
19:15
What have you been playing, my man?
19:17
Yeah, dude. Yeah.
19:20
Do good conversations. I've been playing some raccoon.
19:23
It's a nice little time waster. What'd you say?
19:25
What are you laughing about? I just, I just looked at the
19:28
timer and saw it was 20 minutes and I hated myself because I
19:30
talked that long. Oh, dude, we only got 20 minutes
19:32
left here. 25 minutes left. Let's hit it.
19:34
I've been playing some rat coin. We got games to play, dude, we
19:39
got a lot of games play to talk more on the show.
19:41
We would simply we do. There's a ton here we have to
19:44
discuss and review and talk about Mouse Pi for hire, having
19:47
a blast of that. My review score, if I had to
19:51
give it a it's gone up. So the further I've gotten in
19:57
and the more of the game is open to me, it's gone up.
20:00
Love it, having a blast. Can't wait for full color mode.
20:02
I really want to play it in full.
20:04
Color that'll be. Cool, I think the update came
20:07
through if I'm not mistaken. So I'm going to be trying full
20:11
color mode here soon. I've tried Crimson Desert a
20:15
little bit more. I'd like it.
20:17
I do find it a bit clunky. Some of the movement in the game
20:20
is a bit odd to me, but I think the more I play, the more I
20:24
learn, the more I grow within the game.
20:27
I will love it. So there's that.
20:30
I'm getting ready to play Pragmata.
20:33
Yes, I'm very excited for Pragmata.
20:35
Very excited for you to play that, yeah.
20:37
That's yeah, I know, I know it's going to be because it looks
20:41
like a game I would have played when I was 14.
20:44
That's fair. It definitely does.
20:46
It looks like a game I would have.
20:47
So I would have played FEAR. Yeah, from FEAR.
20:51
I probably would have went into a game like Dead Space.
20:55
Yeah. No, that's fair.
20:56
So like the bridge is being gapped right there and I've also
21:00
played sandbox and. S Sandbox.
21:04
S Sandbox the. Roblox Killer.
21:09
Good. First off, good.
21:11
If it's going to do anything, if it does that, good.
21:14
Roblox for pedophiles. And I'm not taking that back.
21:17
And if you're an adult playing, you know what?
21:20
If you're, if you're an adult playing Roblox, let me look at
21:22
the camera. You're a fucking weird bitch and
21:26
a pedophile Probably. So anyways.
21:31
White people are going what a Dick head you know.
21:34
I just like playing Roblox. It's like, OK, you shouldn't,
21:38
That's the point. That's what we're trying to tell
21:40
you. You shouldn't like that.
21:41
Play Minecraft. I we will not let land because
21:44
like there's some people in my family not going to say names
21:47
who let their kids play Roblox And and I, they're like, well,
21:52
they could put Landon could play on our on their tablet.
21:54
I'm like no he can't, he can't play Roblox.
21:56
No like why? And I'm like cuz it's for
21:58
pedophiles. So no you cannot play fucking
22:00
Roblox. That's fair.
22:02
You can play fucking the actual block game which is Minecraft.
22:05
Yes, yeah, I agree you can. Play the real block game, which
22:09
is. Minecraft I I agree with that,
22:10
yeah. So but SN box is I'm calling a
22:14
sandbox cuz it's sandbox. Don't fuck with my brain like
22:16
that. It's cool.
22:18
It is really cool to see people from what I have seen cuz I
22:22
don't know what is truly being created yet.
22:26
I have played a lot of cool games that people have like made
22:31
sure sure it it still feels like Gary's mod.
22:33
It feels more possibly like Roblox than Gary's mod.
22:37
But yeah, sandbox is awesome. Nice dude.
22:42
I'm glad we. Have to take a boss, do we?
22:43
Have no hold on, I'm gonna yell my brother.
22:48
Oh, just for the audience, he is getting reamed out.
22:52
No, he was just asking where I was sleeping at night.
22:55
Jack, shut up. I know he apologized.
22:58
He said I'm sorry to he said, he said I'm sorry to everyone that
23:01
listens to WASD and beyond and it came from screens and roll
23:05
for deception. He he said that explicitly to
23:07
me. Well.
23:08
I got a ticket coming your way buddy.
23:10
Damn, that's crazy. Yeah.
23:13
Sandbox is cool dude. It's it's neat because the door
23:17
is now open for people to learn and create their own games that
23:20
can be sold on Steam eventually. That's that is where I may be
23:24
believing you, but as of today, the current Steam review section
23:29
is not it's. Mixed right?
23:31
It is. It is mixed with 46% of the 1006
23:36
hundred 681 user reviews in my language, which is English
23:39
obviously positive. The most helpful review was see.
23:44
This is why I can't believe it though.
23:46
It is like like this is not like seem you need to.
23:51
You need to rework how this this this works.
23:55
It doesn't vet anybody. Anybody can do anything?
23:57
The most helpful review in the past 24 hours was this one at
24:00
the top. This is me clicking on it just
24:03
now. Not recommended. 0.1 hours on
24:06
record so like 15 minutes post posted yesterday the seconds I
24:13
finished installing it and launched the game I see my
24:15
stupid sausage character all naked.
24:17
So I went to go customize and I so happened to open the shop and
24:20
the for the love of God why does it $20 game have paid character
24:24
customization and what world doesn't the successor to Gary's
24:27
mod have any microtransactions in game?
24:29
This hot steaming pile of shit will die within the year.
24:33
The second one is read the S and box EULA which is portions of
24:40
it. It says it contains A mandatory
24:42
arbitration agreement and class action waiver for US based
24:45
users. OK so that's an interesting
24:47
thing. I have not accepted the EULA and
24:50
I will not until when slash if that is changed permanently.
24:54
Mandatory arbitration has been nothing but a legal excuse for
24:56
shady practices to get swept under the rug rather than
24:59
brought directly to a courtroom, and I do not intend to fall
25:01
victim to it like so many others have with other companies.
25:05
A lot of other negative reviews like this one today came from
25:07
someone who had about 30 minutes on record.
25:11
Product was refunded. The double down on AI plus the
25:14
terrible performance made me refund the scheme.
25:17
Really big disappointment because I was such a big fan of
25:19
G mod drawing up. Please consider your next move
25:21
Face Punch and maybe I'll repurchase it.
25:22
That is what I've seen is that in relation to AI generated
25:26
content and tools, the developers have basically
25:28
doubled down saying that that they're going to still allow
25:31
that, which I think is a terrible thing.
25:33
I think because at the end of the day, come on, at the end of
25:36
the day, Gary's mad as successful because of what the
25:39
players, the humans, the people have created.
25:42
Like I'll be the old guy. Dark RP is great not because an
25:46
AI created ARP version of the community, but people did.
25:50
People thought, OK, you should be able to be a drug dealer and
25:53
a gun dealer and a cop and a hobo and you should be able to
25:56
buy your own property and make money printers and you should be
25:59
able to do these things. And like it got even crazier.
26:01
Like that's people who created that.
26:03
Whole things off the source. Murder.
26:05
Murder is just fucking like any other like whodunit game, but
26:11
it's in it's in G mod like it, but it's not.
26:13
You didn't need an AI to create that and I think that.
26:16
That's a bummer, I didn't see any of that today.
26:19
Maybe it speaks to a wider problem because like, AI is not
26:26
something special. It is at the end of the day, it
26:28
is just what we as humans collectively have gathered as
26:31
knowledge. It does not.
26:33
It does not tell you things that it suddenly created on its own.
26:38
It tells you things that other humans have discovered.
26:40
And we have fed it it. We have fed it our information.
26:43
I don't like AII. Really.
26:45
I really do not like AI. No.
26:46
And I and I and. It's telling people to kill,
26:48
kill themselves now. Oh, it's, it's well, because
26:50
there are, there are certain people there, there's certain
26:53
people who definitely get like brainwash is not the right term,
26:57
but like there are people who, who have conversations with AI
27:00
as if it's a real person. And it's it's because it's a.
27:02
Computer mental health. This a different show.
27:05
It's a different show, but like we're not talking about that.
27:07
But at the end of the day, related to sandbox stuff, I
27:10
don't want to play a game. Like there's a screenshot on the
27:14
page. There's a screenshot.
27:15
The last screenshot on the Steam page is something that has
27:17
objectives in the top left. You're holding a crowbar and
27:20
there's like this weird like horror painting on the wall with
27:23
a bunch of candles underneath it.
27:24
It has a sort of like retro style design and like I would
27:28
love to play sandbox if it meant that I could play like a single
27:31
player game was like that or dark RP or trouble and
27:33
terrorists and a murderer again with like an updated UI, graphic
27:36
Source 2, all this sort of stuff.
27:39
But instead it doesn't feel that way.
27:41
It feels like this is just less than that.
27:44
It feels like. It's damn dude, So what I
27:47
played. Sure was.
27:50
You played Vampire Survivors boat for $30?
27:53
Yes and had a blast doing it and I played some other little mini
27:57
game type things here. All this really bums me out and
28:02
I really hope Gary and the team. I thought I'd talk as if I know
28:06
if I do not though I will. I'm going to be the old guy.
28:09
I do have the coveted Steam achievement for playing in AG
28:13
mod server with Gary. That's cool.
28:16
Yes, yeah, that's how old I am. So it's that's.
28:21
How old I am? Yeah, it's, it's a bummer
28:24
because I remember when Gary's Bond first came out and I
28:27
remember the day released and I Remember Me and Ed were at my
28:30
house and there was this thing that just popped up and Ed was
28:33
like going to play Gary's mod, going to buy it.
28:37
And I went, can I buy it? He goes, oh, yeah.
28:39
And I stood, I sat home when I was a computer and I bought
28:41
Gary's Bond. We just.
28:43
I told you the story. Yeah, I remember we would we
28:46
would hijack servers and do bad things and spawn a lot of
28:52
barrels. You.
28:53
Do bad GM. Construct and yeah, So what the
28:58
I I would love to see face punch really take a stand somewhere
29:03
here and go hey, yeah, we're not going to allow this or you can
29:07
filter those out. Let us filter.
29:10
All. The AI shit out.
29:11
At the very least. If, if people are going to do AI
29:14
shit, which they will inevitably, they will fine let
29:18
us filter those games out because I'd rather support
29:20
creators because they can make real money.
29:23
Real games can be made from this because it's on Source 2A branch
29:27
of Source 2 of sorts. And I would really like to see
29:31
what can be done. I it's interesting to me because
29:34
I want Face Punch to succeed. Because they've given the world
29:38
Gary's mod. It's fucking Gary's mod.
29:41
If you're APC gamer, you know. If you're a gamer, you know what
29:45
Gary's mod is. You see that video?
29:47
People love scubity toilet. That's from Gary's mod.
29:49
That's from Gary's mod unfortunately, and no one likes
29:51
that. So yeah, well, I just had to
29:53
bring it up, so I'm sorry. It's it's OK, you know, but
29:58
that's what I've been playing. It's a segue.
30:01
We're already here. Talk about it.
30:03
Let me get my let me get my crap out of the way.
30:04
How's that sound? And then we can go to the fun
30:06
stuff. Sure.
30:07
Yeah, why not? There is a report going out
30:11
right now about a old e-mail chain from Gabe Newell and Elon,
30:16
Elon Musk. It's making pretty big head
30:20
waves right now. The thing that's not being
30:23
reported, it's being not underlined, is this is from
30:27
2018. This is not recent.
30:31
People are like, well, look what Gabe was doing with Open AI.
30:34
Yes, when it was a nonprofit. Yeah.
30:39
This was not when open AI was what it is today.
30:42
None of what this is. This is what people are trying
30:45
to speculate. Like we'll see Gabe Newell and
30:47
Valve is all a part of Tesla and this isn't that and Hideo
30:52
Kojima, because basically what it boils down to was Gabe was
30:55
like, hey Kojima, you think you could?
30:58
Or hey, Elon. Could you get my friend Kojima?
31:02
Or Kojima into space and a Taurus SpaceX.
31:05
Yeah, that's all that was, and it was work.
31:09
Yeah, Kojima went to SpaceX. Oh, did he go to?
31:12
Whatever he wanted to go see. If back in 2018, though, if you
31:16
wanted to see shit for space, who did you go to?
31:20
You went to Elon Musk? Yeah, because he wasn't totally
31:23
where he is nowadays. He wasn't completely crazy.
31:26
I mean, he he had the showings of someone who was like
31:29
beginning to lose their grip on reality.
31:31
He was like, we wait, we would make the joke.
31:33
He's entering his dark, Tony Stark alcoholic face.
31:37
Yeah, his his drunk Tony Stark face, but like, it turned into
31:40
way, way more than that because. Yeah, now he's just gone.
31:43
We fuck him. He's actually just a piece of
31:44
shit. But like, I mean, I don't like I
31:48
I made a joke to Nick this morning.
31:49
I sent him that and I was like, get your boy and I, I was like
31:51
referencing Gabe Newell, but it's like I did.
31:53
Though you're like, this is a whole nothing burger.
31:55
No, it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean anything.
31:57
It's like it's like, So what? Like, yeah.
31:59
He asked this. Like, at the end of the day, the
32:01
world has changed. It.
32:02
That was 2019. It is 2018.
32:05
Yeah. 2018. Yeah.
32:06
OK. So we're eight years away from
32:08
that like or. It's pre COVID.
32:11
Like yeah it's pre COVID. It's fucking like.
32:15
AI is like a twinkle in. Everyone's eye, but you know
32:18
what I mean. Further away from that, but.
32:19
If you think about that, it's a twinkle in people's eye.
32:22
Dude, it's a completely different world.
32:24
I mean, there was a like at the end of the day, 2020 was a reset
32:27
point for a lot of people. It was a complete, total
32:30
paradigm shift into what the world could turn into if you if
32:34
you didn't pay attention like and honestly, not to, not to.
32:38
We didn't pay attention. Apparently not.
32:40
Again, not making it into a different show here, but like,
32:42
the world hasn't gotten better since then.
32:44
It has gas. Is $5.
32:46
Gas is 5 fucking dollars. I know it's a video game
32:48
podcast, but yeah. But holy fuck man, it's $5.00
32:52
but like you're. Breaking my fucking balls dude.
32:55
But like. I hate that orange son of a
32:57
bitch man. It's I hate it, man.
33:00
That's an Ovo thing. But yes, I I, I.
33:02
Bringing that back. No, because Birdie wants to let
33:06
it die. Birdie wants to let it die.
33:07
Because Brody is. Really fun.
33:09
I will call Birdie up. Brody doesn't listen to this.
33:11
He's not going to listen this far in his 30.
33:12
He listened. Amber listens to each episode.
33:14
OK, well, OK. Well, OK.
33:16
Well, now I'm in trouble. Amber.
33:17
I'm sorry. Amber.
33:19
You know what? You can tell Birdie I said this.
33:20
He'll hit me. Whether in person or over the
33:23
phone or over Discord. He'll hit me.
33:25
And that's fine. I deserve it.
33:27
But at the same time, come on, Brody.
33:29
Like let's get this. Yeah, come on, let's have fun
33:32
again. Like, come on, this this show is
33:34
great. Screen box is great.
33:36
Roll for Deception is great. But OBO has to come.
33:38
Back We need a show where we can just bitch for an hour and put
33:42
it out to the world and people can listen to us bitch because
33:44
that's. Let's just do it.
33:46
People love to hear a bunch of grown men bitch, right?
33:48
I mean, that's basically the show. 100 views of episode. 500
33:51
views of the episode. But dictate they did.
33:54
Is that fucked up? That show had no preparation.
33:59
It would just, it had no sauce. It had no sauce, it had no
34:03
sauce. It was just, it was just a bunch
34:05
of fucking assholes talking and drinking and man, it, it was
34:09
great. Could you guys please listen to
34:11
my video game show I've been working?
34:13
OK please can you stop saying it like that?
34:15
You sound like crying. OK anyways, please listen to my
34:20
video game show. Please no.
34:24
It's just a nothing burger dude. It's just like who cares?
34:27
Who cares? But that leads me to go into.
34:30
Talk about the controller. The controller is releasing so
34:33
it releases this Monday 100 bucks.
34:37
I I'm excited for this. I think it's good.
34:39
It's it's going to be fun. I'm excited to see if it
34:41
replaces my Xbox controller. I'm unsure because I'm not going
34:45
to be using the gyro. I'm not going to be using the
34:47
touch pads, things like that, but I am interested to see
34:51
because I've heard how nice it does feel for as clunky as it
34:54
looks, I've heard it feels great and I've heard it's, you know,
34:59
no stick drift and they're like that.
35:01
So I'm excited. I mean, you know, and it feels
35:04
great. So I'm excited to see exactly
35:09
how I like it because I'm going to buy it.
35:11
I'm a shill for Valve, but also I like new technology.
35:14
I like to, I like to play with these new things.
35:17
Like I got the Steam Controller up there, the the OG, like I'm
35:21
excited to have this and play with it and see if it replaces
35:24
my Xbox controller. But I'm not going to be afraid
35:27
to say if it sucks, like if it sucks, it sucks.
35:30
That just is what it is. I'm the precipice of that
35:33
though. What I want to say is this, I
35:36
told you guys last week it was going to happen and now I'm
35:39
saying the two weeks ain't up. We're going to get more next
35:45
week. Yeah.
35:48
I'm telling you, I say we're getting more Valve stuff next
35:51
week. OK, That's that's my prediction
35:54
on that. All right, I, I will, I will
35:56
take your prediction. I will believe it and we will
35:58
see what happens. I think it's gonna just.
36:00
Not from now on, like Homelander.
36:03
I think it will be just it all depends on if they can nail on
36:07
the prices on these things that they want people to buy for
36:09
them. I.
36:09
Mean they so. That's what it all.
36:12
About a bit of breaking news that we do have for the Steam
36:15
Machine is there is confirmation, and because I
36:19
don't know how these guys are pulling this information, but
36:21
it's everywhere. There's confirmation that Valve
36:26
is getting large shipments right now of game consoles to their
36:31
warehouses. So that's promising.
36:35
That's very promising that hey, the the Steam Machines are here,
36:39
they're at the warehouses. Imminent.
36:42
Everything's imminent. I'm I'm confused what the delay
36:46
is on the frame. It could be any number of
36:51
things. Probably RAM.
36:52
I know, I know it's a stand alone device but like I I'm
36:57
confused what the delay is here so that's cool.
37:03
Also, cash is back in Commerce strike.
37:07
Yes, we haven't played it in a long while.
37:09
I played it a couple weeks ago when I got my new mouse, but I
37:12
would like to play cash again with you guys.
37:13
I think it'd be really fun. Also I have $130.00 in steam
37:16
that I could use on cases so. Beautiful.
37:19
Also, the Counter Strike devs are being kind of funny right
37:22
now. Really.
37:24
Go on Twitter and look up Gabe Follower and look what they're
37:27
doing. It's pretty funny.
37:29
So if you go in cash right now, you could see 33 electrical
37:35
boxes, one and two are completed.
37:38
The third one's broken. They updated the map and there's
37:41
four electrical boxes, 1-2 and four are completed and the third
37:47
is being worked on. Everyone said they're going,
37:50
what are you doing? Because this isn't like somebody
37:53
ran, it's this Valve going. And it's like, why?
37:58
It's like what Peter Griffin said.
38:00
It's so intense that it skips over 3, so it's just going to be
38:03
like you're just, you're not going to get Half Life 3, Nick,
38:06
you're never going to get Half Life 3.
38:07
It's just going to be Half Life 4.
38:08
That's. Fine, honestly, it'd be pretty
38:11
funny. It would be pretty, it would be
38:13
pretty funny if they just went Half Life 2 episode 1, Half Life
38:16
2, Episode 2, Half Life 4. It's like, what happened to
38:19
three? It's like, what are you talking
38:21
about? What if there is No 3?
38:23
There is no three, idiot. It's four like it's the next
38:26
one. Four is a core number.
38:28
Here's the thing I mean we'll see what happens.
38:33
I'm excited for I'm excited for a lot of games for the rest of
38:36
the year. I think we're at that.
38:37
We're at a point right now it's it's the end of April.
38:40
It's about to be May and May's going to kick off with like
38:43
May's just going to have a lot of games in it.
38:45
There's a lot of games coming out in May.
38:47
Sorrows came out today for those who are interested for the PS-5
38:50
exclusive. I'm very interested in it, but
38:52
I'm also going to hold out hope and hope that it comes to PC.
38:56
Very my my most anticipated game this month is for for May is
39:00
easily double O 7. I am fucking pumped for.
39:04
Double O Seven I, I am. I have never been this excited.
39:07
I don't think I've ever been this excited for a Bond movie
39:10
like I am excited to well. You get to play as Bond bro.
39:13
But I mean, I get to like, it's IO Interactive, like I'm gonna
39:16
be getting the full experience of Bond.
39:18
It's not just like I played James Bond games.
39:21
I played that one really shitty Daniel Craig James Bond game
39:23
that came up for the Xbox 360 a long time ago.
39:25
Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was like double O 7
39:27
blood money or blood something or whatever.
39:30
Blood Money's a hitman. Game Blood Money's a Hitman
39:32
game, but this is something else I think.
39:33
I can't remember. Somebody else will know, but
39:35
like this has been described by the people who have been able to
39:39
play it early as a definitive bond game.
39:42
Like like if not the best bond. Game, Oh my God.
39:45
Which is. Crazy.
39:46
Since Goldeneye, probably. Since Goldeneye, Exactly.
39:49
And it's like. Phenomenal.
39:50
If that turns out to be the case, I'm more than excited.
39:54
Like I know my dad's going to want to play it.
39:55
It's like, dude, it's James Bond.
39:57
It's like fucking Bond, bro, Yeah.
39:59
You get to do all the cool shit, you get the gadgets, you get all
40:02
that stuff. Yeah, what?
40:03
James Bond movie marathon. I would be down for that.
40:06
I've already done that myself. I've watched all.
40:09
How many did he do, 3 or 4? Daniel Craig he did.
40:13
I want to start before Daniel. He did 4.
40:16
He did 4 Pierce Bronson is my bond.
40:18
That's your bond. My bond.
40:20
My bond, if anything, was probably.
40:22
Roger Pierce Bronson. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, right.
40:25
That would have been in the 90s, yeah.
40:27
But that but Pierce was Bond, right?
40:29
Pierce was Bond. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:32
I was. I did not watch the Pierce
40:35
Brosnan bond. I was.
40:37
Never. I have, but when I was growing
40:41
up, I was not put on to those. I was put on to the Roger Moore
40:46
bonds. So like Doctor?
40:48
No, No. No, Doctor, No was Sean Connery.
40:51
That's Sean Connery. I'm looking him up right now.
40:53
That was like, I don't know if he did Moonraker.
40:57
I think he was the Moonraker bond.
41:00
Roger Moore is Moonraker Bond. Yes.
41:02
Yes, that was one of the prominent ones I saw.
41:05
There was another one with him. In it, Sean Connery is such a
41:07
better bond though. Sean Conner is a great bond.
41:10
Did did so did it go from Roger Moore?
41:17
Because Octopussy is Roger Moore.
41:19
I know that. So did it go from fucking Sean
41:21
Connery back to fucking to Roger Moore back to Sean Connery?
41:26
It was, it was Sean Connery. There was a small purse, not
41:30
small person, but there was a small role or a small.
41:33
That's not my message. Sorry.
41:34
Jesus, that's terrible. There was like a very small Bond
41:38
movie that was made with a different guy.
41:40
I think his name started, I think his first name was George.
41:43
I can't remember his last name. He's a British guy.
41:45
Obviously there was like a couple movies with him, but they
41:48
were very like, again, small movies.
41:50
George Lazenby. George Lazenby.
41:52
Her Majesty's Secret Service. I'm going to get flamed because
41:55
that's probably a great movie to a lot of people, and I've never.
41:57
Seen a song Apologize 6.7 out of 1081 on Rotten OK.
42:03
Like Moonraker was great. There was a lot of Rodger Moore
42:05
movies that I saw with Bond. I didn't see.
42:08
I didn't see as a younger as a younger kid.
42:10
I didn't see any of the Pierce Brosnan ones, but I did see them
42:13
as I. Got or shame?
42:15
Daniel Craig is my because I think the first Daniel, I think
42:18
the first Daniel Craig Bond was like 2008.
42:20
So like, that would have been right around when I was growing
42:23
up. 2006 Casino Royale, yeah. Yeah, so that's my bond.
42:27
He's my. Bond, because Pierce's was died
42:29
another day. That's the last one.
42:31
And when was that? 2002.
42:35
OK so I was 2 years old for. That they waited no time at all
42:38
for that. No, and Daniel Craig was not
42:40
relatively known when when he did Casino Royale and and Casino
42:43
Royale is Casino Royale is arguably other than well, no,
42:47
not arguably Skyfall is the best, but like other than
42:50
Skyfall, I would say that it's for Daniel Craig Bond.
42:54
It's like, Oh my God, no, he's been in five.
42:58
Holy shit, it's. Casino Royale, Quantum, Quantum
43:01
of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre, No Time to Die.
43:03
It's for me. My ranking is number 1 is
43:06
Skyfall, 2 is Casino Royale, 3 is 3 is no time to die, 4 is
43:14
Spectre 5 is Quantum of Solace. Actually switch those two.
43:18
Quantum of Solace is for five. God, dude, he was.
43:21
They're, they're all he's. For 19 years.
43:24
He's a he was a great bond. And if you haven't seen No Time
43:26
to Die, you're you're missing out.
43:29
No Time to Die was great. Pierce Brosnan was Bond.
43:33
I love that. I love that this was like Gaming
43:35
Show and we talked about the Double O 7 game and now we're
43:37
talking about just Bond in general.
43:39
OK OK back to that game looks fucking sick and I cannot wait
43:43
to play Bond. It's going to be probably one of
43:47
my one of my top contenders for game of the year.
43:50
I genuinely believe that. And also this is a slight update
43:53
because we only have recorded these a couple of times or
43:57
talked about them a couple of times.
44:00
That is on my Fantasy critic. You're such a bitch dude.
44:04
Actually, no, it's not. I'm kidding.
44:06
I lied to you. It's.
44:07
Whose is it on? It is on.
44:10
I'm struggling. It's on fucking Morgan's.
44:12
It's. Worthless.
44:13
Oh my God, Morgan, you don't even care.
44:16
He's not anyways. He doesn't even understand it,
44:18
he says all the time. You you just played to play
44:21
anyways, it's. Just fantasy critic, yeah.
44:29
How did I get? How the fuck did replace go
44:31
down? Oh, he's passed. 77.
44:37
So we're checking This is a This is a wild podcast.
44:40
We're checking our fantasy critics scores.
44:42
Right now. I am leading with 84 points.
44:47
Yeah, you fucking probably won. Well, well, the years.
44:50
On my my projected points is 1st 122.
44:55
Yeah, well, I still have Wolverine anyways.
44:57
Anyways, we'll get back to that. We have a whole update episode
45:00
coming for soon. Resident Evil.
45:04
The trailer. Oh man.
45:07
Zach Krieger, you motherfucker. That.
45:09
Big fat son of a bitch in the fucking sewer.
45:11
Let's go there, Bubba. Baron Harkin.
45:15
Here's the thing. It's Pearl's brother from Blade
45:17
bro. It is.
45:18
Here's the thing. Loved my favorite scene in the
45:22
trailer. He opens the shotgun, sees that
45:25
it's empty, and I was like, yeah, motherfucker, you're
45:27
looking for shells just like me. And then he opened up and then
45:31
he opened up two drawers and they were fucking empty.
45:35
And I was like, yes, I was like, yeah, pisses you off, doesn't
45:39
it? I hope he.
45:39
Felt vindicated. Dude, I hope, I hope that at
45:44
some point in the movie he just goes like, Oh my God, why is
45:46
there? Why is nothing where it should
45:48
be? And I'm like, yeah, that's
45:50
exactly what it is, man. That's your fucking life when
45:53
you play these games. It made me it's watching that
45:55
trailer made me want to play Resin.
45:57
Evil it looks. It looks huge.
46:02
He's he's getting it. He's getting it right.
46:04
My brother actually brought up that point.
46:07
He brought up because because this is supposed to, from what I
46:09
understand, take place during Resident Evil 2 and.
46:13
Yeah, Yep. But here's the thing, if you
46:16
play Resident Evil 2, the remake, and I'm pretty sure if
46:18
you played the original Resident Evil 2, it's not snowing.
46:22
So the suspect, the suspicion is that that's ash, that's nuclear
46:29
fallout that he's walking through.
46:32
So it's. At the end.
46:33
It would be at the end of RE2. It would be after the bomb is.
46:36
Exploded. But the weird thing is those
46:38
zombies, the infected up top, when they fall, they just
46:41
shatter like they're frozen. So that's that's and that's the
46:46
interesting thing is that we really don't know anything
46:48
about. It.
46:49
But we really don't know anything about it other than
46:52
what the trailer has shown. Because that's the thing, right?
46:55
It's not like I'm sorry, but I. The cop car emblem, they didn't
46:59
even do that, so we don't even know.
47:01
Yeah, they didn't and we and at the end of the day, we don't
47:04
know again, we don't know where this is taking place
47:07
necessarily. We don't know what's going on
47:09
because that's the thing I I find it hard to believe the
47:13
nuclear winter and like the nuclear fallout theory of that's
47:15
why it's like snow on the ground, because you're telling
47:19
me that this guy is searching for his girlfriend, but he
47:21
doesn't know that a nuke has gone off Like that's pretty.
47:24
Obvious and. He's also not wearing a mask
47:26
like, but it's obvious, right? Like that's an obvious thing.
47:28
You would know that if you're if you're within the range of where
47:32
fallout is falling onto your feet, you know that a nuke.
47:36
Has we are already dead. You're already dead.
47:39
That's true. But like, that's The thing is
47:41
that this also looks very remote, like the farmhouse that
47:45
he runs to, but like he clearly gets there from a city or he
47:50
goes from there to a city because he gets into a sewer
47:54
somehow, which is also very Resident Evil.
47:58
I guess that's what I loved about it the most.
48:00
I loved, I loved, I loved the big fat motherfucker.
48:02
In the sewer. I loved the, I loved the green
48:05
herb in the background that you could spot.
48:07
I loved the like I said, I loved him opening up the shotgun and
48:11
saying it was empty. And like, that was again, my
48:14
favorite moment of the trailer. I was like, I know I'm in for a
48:16
Resident Evil experience. Because that's the best part
48:19
about those games is that you're given a simple task.
48:22
Find the fuse, find the shells. And in doing so, you come across
48:27
the most terrifying things you've ever seen.
48:30
Like, oh. My God, that's what makes it so
48:32
interesting. I know that he's this guy, which
48:35
by the way, huge shout out, This is the actor who plays that
48:40
protagonist that we're going to be following.
48:41
I think his name is Austin Abrams.
48:43
Who was he was the druggie guy? He was the druggie from Weapons
48:47
who is also which was also directed by Zach Rager.
48:50
So he must have crushed it on set because he was great in the
48:52
movie. He was great in the movie and I
48:54
heard that he was very good on he like he was just a great
48:56
person to work with. But either way, I know for a
49:03
fact that he's going to he's going to in some way, he's going
49:07
to find that shotgun. He's going to be looking for
49:09
shells or he's going to be looking for some other very
49:12
menial, simple item. And in doing so, he is going to
49:17
come across whatever that creature was with the multiple
49:20
feet and hands or feet and leg like feet, hands, legs,
49:23
whatever. Like it's like he's going to
49:26
come across that creature and that is what makes those games
49:29
so scary. And, and RE2, right?
49:32
That's what it is. It's it's go to this station to
49:35
turn this valve on. And in doing so, you meet Mr. X.
49:39
It is, it is a simple task that you're given.
49:42
And in doing that, you meet one of the most persistent enemies.
49:48
God, I just hope we meet somebody.
49:50
Gaming. I don't.
49:51
I don't want to. I don't want.
49:52
You don't want. See Chris.
49:53
Or I don't want to see no, because then you put it in my
49:56
head that that's who that's supposed to be.
49:57
And then if you make it. No, no not.
50:00
It's not the main character I'm hoping well.
50:03
No, I don't want. I want.
50:04
I want this to be. I want this to be.
50:07
It's own contained story. Yes because because that's what
50:10
makes RE so great. RE one is RE1RE2 is Leon and
50:15
Claire right? RE 3 is Jill, RE4IS Leon again,
50:19
RE-5 is Chris and Shava. RE6 is the reason it's the worst
50:23
is because you combine 3 fucking stories into one.
50:26
RE 7 is Ethan winners, RE 8 is Ethan winners.
50:31
RE-9 is Leon and Grace and it's like.
50:34
OK, that. Makes sense.
50:35
And but that also works because they intertwine in a perfect way
50:38
because it's like they made it all about that dichotomy of
50:41
horror and action. But like, well, this is a video.
50:44
Game movie done right then because you could.
50:46
That's what I'm saying. Take the source material and go,
50:49
well, I'm going to tell my own story with it because I can.
50:51
But that's the thing. That's like Fallout works.
50:53
RE2, RE2 is so great because it is both.
50:57
It is both the horror and the puzzle solving and the action at
51:01
the end of it. And I think that's what this, I
51:03
think that's what this is going to capture.
51:05
I think it's going to go more for the tone of RE2, but it's
51:09
going to feel like a more modern take on Resident Evil.
51:14
Not, not even modern's not the right word, but it's, it's, it's
51:19
going to feel like a true tribute to Resident Evil.
51:23
I think because the true Resident Evil fans like myself,
51:26
yourself and, and all the others that listen to us and the people
51:29
that play these games, they're going to pick up on the things
51:32
that are Resident Evil. Resident Evil is looking for the
51:35
green herbs, looking for the red herbs.
51:37
Resident Evil is getting a gun, finding that it has no ammo, and
51:41
then searching every drawer and cabinet and fucking safe in your
51:45
immediate vicinity and finding fucking nothing except for a
51:47
lock pick that you don't even know how to use.
51:49
Like that is what Resident Evil is.
51:52
I guarantee you he's going to, I guarantee you he's going to find
51:55
a fucking item that he doesn't know how to use.
51:57
And then later on in the movie, he's going to figure it out
51:59
because of some other piece that he connects to it.
52:02
Because that's exactly what Resident Evil is.
52:04
And that's what Zack Krager himself has said that he wants
52:07
to be. Because for US fans of the
52:09
games, we're going to recognize that stuff.
52:12
But for my mom who doesn't play any of them or my dad who
52:15
doesn't play any of them or my sister who doesn't play any of
52:17
them or Jack who doesn't play any of them, they're not going
52:21
to understand that that is a game moment for me.
52:23
For them, that is the most important thing in the story
52:26
right now is finding those shells.
52:28
But for me, it's like, I know that mother fucker is going to
52:31
find those shells. I know it's.
52:33
A matter of when. It's a matter of when and what
52:35
he's dealing with when he finds. When he's fine because, you
52:38
know, in theaters when we go see it, because we are we, we are.
52:41
We are going to go see this together.
52:42
God, we have a group for. Backgrounds Evil Back is going
52:46
for that. I didn't tell you, but he's
52:48
tagging along. He wants to see.
52:50
It I love I love Jack, but I love Jack.
52:53
So we got back rooms. Evil Dead.
52:56
Yep, Dune and Resident Evil and if we all want to, Doomsday
53:04
Avengers. We won't do it only because RDJ
53:07
is dot. Doctor, we'll do it because RDJ
53:10
is Doctor Doom and we know that we're getting Chris Evans.
53:14
Yeah, like yeah, we might as. Well, but like so no resident
53:18
Resident Evil though, man, we you know, I stopped our work day
53:23
because I I'm based right now. It's just me, you know, and two
53:28
other people in the office. So I was like, yeah, our Co
53:32
worker Ali was like the Resident Evil trailer is out and I went
53:36
what the fuck you talking? It's supposed to come out next
53:38
week. He goes, it's not right now.
53:39
Sony just posted it. I went stop.
53:42
Discussing posted it, put it on. I said, everyone, stop what
53:45
you're doing. And we put it on the TV at work
53:47
and we all just went, whoa. We went whoa, dude, because we
53:52
work next for transparency. We were we work next to a firm
53:57
and that TV was not quiet. Oh no.
54:02
And we and so they're on the other side.
54:05
They're probably hearing, yeah, just hearing all this gross
54:08
shit, but we're sitting there going it's Resident Evil, yeah.
54:12
Yeah, it was great. It was a great trailer.
54:14
I loved the I loved the whole thing.
54:16
I especially love the the title card showing up as he moved back
54:19
and forth between Oh my. God, it's so good.
54:23
This is AI can't, I don't want to talk about this more because
54:26
we need to wrap it up, but like. Yes.
54:29
As a movie nerd, Zach Crager has a very instantly identifiable
54:35
style. It's and it's.
54:37
Yes, it's those types of shots where he has.
54:40
He needs to make an Evil Dead film.
54:41
Too he he has, he has this primary character moving around
54:45
in the foreground that you're mostly focused on as all these
54:47
things are happening behind that are so important to the rest of
54:50
the story. And in this instance, he's using
54:54
just the title cards from the director of Weapons Barbarian,
54:58
but it's all, it's all timed right.
55:01
It's all timed with the audio of the ringing to when he's hitting
55:04
the he's hitting his head on the phone to when he's syncing down
55:07
to the ground. Like it all works together in a
55:09
very almost musical like rhythmic way.
55:14
And weapons is very much like that.
55:16
Also, Weapons and Barbarian and Resident Evil all have the same
55:21
shot of a open dark door, so that's also a very identifiable
55:26
thing. As soon as I saw the open door
55:28
from the protagonist's perspective in Resident Evil, I
55:31
was like, it's Zach Rager. It's like, it's like it says it
55:35
way earlier on the trailer, But when then you see that shot of
55:38
the dark door and then the hands coming out of it, it's like,
55:40
yeah, that's Zach doing what he does like.
55:45
So good and. That's great.
55:46
So good. I'm I'm very excited for it.
55:48
We got to wrap this. Up we're wrapping it up next
55:50
week I, I feel like we'll have more news on the DRM situation
55:54
for Sony. We were going to talk about it
55:56
today, but there's just simply too much to talk about.
55:59
There's there's a good amount and I we want to tackle this
56:02
with. AI can wrap it up quick if you
56:06
want to. I can I can explain it really
56:10
fast. Yeah, let's go.
56:12
Let's hit that before we sign off.
56:13
We can, we can, we can hit this really quick, but basically
56:16
there was a bit of news this week about how Sony had
56:18
implemented a new DRM where people were wrongfully so people
56:23
were reporting that you would lose your game after 30 days if
56:26
you were offline, which is not entirely how this works.
56:28
I have a very handy diagram as to how it does.
56:32
Basically, before March 2026, you had a permanent license as
56:35
soon as you bought a game. It doesn't matter like like you
56:38
just have a permanent license. But what people were doing was
56:42
they would have a permanent license with the game.
56:44
They would go offline and refund it.
56:45
They would get their money back and then continue to be able to
56:48
play it because Sony's digital store would not check in to
56:52
confirm that the license was now refunded.
56:55
So you were able to just continue that's?
56:56
A crazy thing to miss, by the way.
56:58
After March of 2026, the way this works is that there is a 14
57:02
day refund period in doing so. Once you purchase a game, you
57:07
have that 14 day period and then you are given a 30 day license
57:11
in between that zero the moment you bought the game to the next
57:15
30 days. As soon as you go online and log
57:19
into the game after the 14 day period and then you go offline,
57:24
you have a permanent license. Sony is not taking your games
57:28
away. You do not need to rebuy any
57:31
games. There is not a periodic 30 day
57:33
check in. There is not like one time
57:36
thing. It is a one time thing.
57:38
And the DRM is gone after that. After that.
57:40
Yes, yes, it becomes ADRM free license.
57:43
You are able to just play it offline or online.
57:45
It doesn't. Yeah, it doesn't matter like
57:47
that. But that's The thing is that
57:48
it's only meant to protect against the people who were
57:52
purchasing the game, refunding it, getting their money back and
57:55
then going offline to continue being able to play it.
57:58
That's all it was. Meant to sign too, right?
58:00
And they were, I believe they were cracking it as well.
58:02
So that way they could give it to other people.
58:03
So yes, that's all it's meant to fight against.
58:06
That is not meant to fight against someone who is just
58:08
paying 50-60 seventy forty $30.00 for a game and then they
58:13
go offline for a period of certain time.
58:15
No, as soon as you go online after that 14 day check in and
58:18
you are after that 14 day refund period and you like sign into
58:23
PlayStation Store, it verifies your license, it turns into DRM
58:27
free offline online. It doesn't matter.
58:30
Yes, that is what you want. So like they are not trying to
58:33
take away your games, they're not trying to make you rebuy,
58:35
they're not making you check in and online every 30 days.
58:38
It is just simply to confirm that you cannot refund the game
58:41
after you go offline again. Perfect.
58:44
That's all it's for. So guess what?
58:48
Next week we get to have fun. We do get to have fun.
58:51
We also gotta play games. Yes, we're gonna go play some
58:53
