• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: You can see our beautiful setup that Bob has brought with him.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, I am a gamer and a lifelong gamer, but we are in 2026 and most of my stuff is digital now.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: So um, but let's go ahead.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I actually think uh, you know, you coming up with these questions is one of one of our best things that we've come up with.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: So hit us with our opening question.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: Your opening question, sir.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: Your first video game you ever played was what?
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: And what are you currently playing the most?
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Chef's kiss on that.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, I this one's tough because I know my older brothers and sisters and cousins had like an Atari and stuff, because like we've said before, guys, I was born in 80, Bob was born in 83.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_01: Um so um, but for memory, um, I did have an original Nintendo, so I'm gonna go Super Mario Brothers.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: But fun fact, I had the original NES that came with the robot.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: Ooh, nice.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: I wish we still had it because that thing is worth a fortune.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_01: The problem was it didn't work correctly.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh and that's what happened with ours.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: My dad, to this day, because we didn't have a lot of money, I don't know how he got it, you know, how he could afford it, but he did get that for me.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_01: And we spent weeks trying to get it to load up with the game.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it came with a game called Gyromite, and it was a game where like you would hit these things and these walls would open up here and the one would close here, but the robot would help you, it would interactive, okay, but we can never get it to work right, and that was a problem with it.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: So he ended up, they ended up what they were doing is is uh they um re released the version you have here with the zapper and the duck hunt, yeah.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_01: And if you traded that in, they gave you that one because it there was so problematic.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, that was uh the first game that I can remember playing.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: And as far as what I'm currently playing, um I'm gonna give you three real quick as you know I've been in my Resident Evil phase.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I got Resident Evil Requiem when it came out, and that got me back.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: So I went back and replayed Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 4 remake, beat both of those.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I'm currently on uh Resident Evil 2 remake.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: I've already beat it a couple of times, and now I'm playing on the hardest level.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but I've been mixing in college football 26.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, nice.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and for my Ohio guys, um, I got recruited by Bolin Green.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and I've also uh I play Call of Duty with uh Jermaine a lot.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: Oh sweet.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: I I I I kind of those are the three games that are kind of currently in my rotation.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: Hell yeah.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_01: So what about you, Babbo?
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Mine's pretty blasé.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: I remember my parents bought uh an original NES.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: This is actually, believe it or not, uh my grandparents had this.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: Oh wow.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's uh from 1988, it's still here, it still works.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: I brought it just uh visual for YouTube.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: It'll work for years.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but I actually grew up playing this, so this is a piece of me too.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, ancient.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: But I played this game right here, Super Mario and Duck Hunt.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: Have the zapper.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that zapper story works.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh audio listeners, if you go to the uh YouTube, uh we I typically you know post our videos two days after the audio.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: So if you want to see the visuals, go check us out on YouTube, bearded and crunchy.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but so all this stuff still works, and like I said, Mario was the first one, followed closely by Mike Tyson's punch out.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: And one of the hardest freaking games you've ever played in your life.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care what you're gonna do.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: Original TMNT was the bane of our childhood existence.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_01: It was so hard to the point where I have to this day not beat it without a game genie to get past that sewer part.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: I just ugh.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: And as far as what I'm playing currently, it's kind of a mix like yours.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: I've been playing quite a bit of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which is oh my god, I actually think that's the one we own.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's so the the Vikings, all the Norse stuff.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: Man, dude, it's so good.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: You'll have to look.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: I know we have one of the Assassin's Creed, and then because I'm just poor and I haven't updated, I still have a PS4.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's fine.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: But I've been playing um MLB the show 24, which is so good, and then I've been playing a lot of WWE 2K.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: I figured that was gonna get sprinkled in amongst your your games.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: We know how much of a wrestling fan you are.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, right, right.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_01: All right, well, with that, uh, you know what?
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_01: I I I I know we said we were gonna start with games, but I think we should probably start with consoles, though.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: I just feel like that's a more brand, you know, kind of broadcast.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: Um again, we'll do like we always do.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of you know, a lot of podcasters, and you see these lists on, they go one, one, one, two, two.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: I I think ours works better if we just give our lists and then um kind of banter back and forth like we do.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_01: Uh so one of my favorites, uh ironically, um two of my top five consoles are Nintendo systems, of course.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the GameCube.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I I I think that gets swept under the rug, but it had uh Mario Kart Double Dash, it had um uh Smash Brothers, I think Brawl.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_01: There was a lot of good games on the GameCube.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_01: Um, then uh I'm gonna go PS2.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um that revolutionized the game.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: That was around the same time that uh the first Xbox came out, and there was a lot of good games on that.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_01: Uh then I'm gonna go Xbox 360 because that's what got me.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: I had one of those, and that's what got me into my Call of Duty days.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: That's what's Call of Duty for me.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's one of those questions.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like, are you a PlayStation or an Xbox person?
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: And I've gone through phases with all of them.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a I'm a PlayStation guy, period.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_01: I was a PlayStation guy, then I was an Xbox guy for a long time, and now I'm a PlayStation guy again.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: So um, but then I'm gonna go to one that gets a lot of hate.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it was it was Sega's last system, and it got shit on, but it was actually a very, very revolutionized and and had amazing games, and that's the Sega Dreamcast.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Dreamcast was all right.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: I loved it.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: Uh the the memory cards were uh innovative, they had little screens on them, and when you plugged it in for games like Madden, um that's where your plays would show up, so they didn't show up on the screen and the people could see uh what plays you were picking, so that was good.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: But my number one is Nintendo 64.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: Uh the amount of classics that came out on that console is on I mean you got you got Goldeneye, Mario 64, you got Star Fox, um, Oka Arena of Time, Majora's Mask, um I mean Mario Kart.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, the list goes on and on and on and on.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: Pokemon Stadium.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there were so many good game stuff.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: So my my number one is the Nintendo 64.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: So what about your list?
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: You know, surprisingly, I have a Sega console on here, but I went Genesis, which is probably my lowest.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: That's the one that kind of fell off a little bit.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's the honorable mention for.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: But it's it's they have a lot of good games.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, dude.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: Sonic 2, Aladdin, but if you strider.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: If you remember with original Mortal Kombat back in the day, I do.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: You could get it on Super Nintendo and Genesis, and you could put in the blood code on Genesis and it could be.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe A-C-A-B-B.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: But you could get all the blood you wanted on Sega, and you could get fairy dust on Super Nintendo.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: They did the same thing with Mortal Kombat 2, and you could also, there was a cheat code that a lot of people didn't know in the option screen.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: It was dulled.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: Down, up, left, left, a, right, down.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: Nice.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: And we all know the Konami code.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's ingrained.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: We all know the Konami code.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_01: Uh so, all right, so Sega.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: And then my next one, it it's a little lower on my list, but I had one for a very long time.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, my dad still has one downstairs.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: But Nintendo 64.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: So good.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: Plenty of great games.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: Uh my dad really loves to play Hexen, even to this day, which is underrated.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's like DD.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: But it's so good.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: So good.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'm gonna skip up to this bad boy right here, to the original Nintendo Entertainment System.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: This one was this was tough for me because I felt like it should have been on my list.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_01: But I would be lying, I don't go back because with um Nintendo Switch Online, they have emulators in there for your Game Boy Nintendo.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't go back to it as much as I probably should.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so that was kind of the reason why, but there's no reason why it shouldn't be in a top five.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: So and what's really funny for me is I had a Game Boy for a long, long, long, long, long, long like an OG Game Boy, like black and yellow or black and green screen.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the and it's not on my list.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's not on my list.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: But I I played the shit out of that Game Boy.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: And actually, another one that's not on my list is is the PS3, and and I have one of those and I play games regularly on that, but it's just for whatever reason, it would be an honorable mention.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: My number two is gonna be PlayStation 2, and mainly because a lot of the great games that were on that console and you know, just kind of the continued growth of video games at that time, and I think what sold me for PS2 was I loved Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and I'm probably gonna talk about it a little bit later on, but that's one of my favorite games.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_01: I it's still the best GTA in my mind.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I I don't argue with that either.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: I agree.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: My buddies think San Andreas, but it's it's good.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: San Andreas is a close second, but I still think Vice City is better.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: And my number one, because I have one and I play it all the time, is PlayStation 4.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: And there's I have a ton of great games.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of I don't even have Ragnarok on my list, but God of War Ragnarok is a phenomenal game.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: And then the game is a good one.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: God of War doesn't make bad games.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: And I really wish they'd quit shitting on the new one.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's gonna be really good that they're going with his wife.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think that'd be fun.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_01: That'd be cool.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: You have you seen it?
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: Like, dude, the hate.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: No, I have it.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's it's called uh God of War, whatever her name is.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: I forget what her name was.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and people are like, Oh, I don't want a woman as I'm like, now come on, get over yourself.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: Well, they added the boy, you know, in God of War 2018, and everybody shit on it, and then they're like, Oh my god, this game is awesome! Right.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, dude, let's yeah.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: If you want the same game you've been playing, go play that game.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, go buy it and play it.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: Like get an emulator.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes I don't, you know, if if you have a legit gripe, that's fine.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: But sometimes I just go, no.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: Again, it's what we go back to when we talked about music.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's gatekeeping.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's gatekeeping.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not the strongest gamer because I just don't have the time to invest like I would love to.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm more of a casual guy.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: But I hear the people that I know in my life that are hardcore gamers, they'll play games for 10-12 hours a day on the weekends, and it's like yes, I I I agree.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm I'm I've also turned into a more casual gamer these days, but I try to make sure at least three or four days a week I get like an hour.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's a nice outlet.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it just it helps me just forget everything and just get engulfed in the in the game.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: For sure.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_01: All right, and with that, we're gonna go to what everybody probably wants to hear, and that's our favorite games.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: Guys, this was torture.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: I know, man.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_01: A top five in all of our favorite things is really hard to fucking narrow down.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: I think it is a hundred here, so I know.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: I I wrote down let's see five, six, seven, eight, like eight.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: And it's from all platforms, consoles.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: I yep.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: I I go, I yeah.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: Alright, I will I will go through mine.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'll give a couple of my uh here's a couple of my honorable mentions.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: Um Vice Cities on mine.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um, there is a game that me and Jermaine played.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: It was called Legacy of Cain's Soul Reaver.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_01: Um, oh guys, if you get a chance to find it, it's so good though.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um you play this demon that's gotta like steal souls and like dude, it's it's it's awesome.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_01: Um I put Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty 4.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um, that's what really I ended up joining back then.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: They called them clans, yeah, ironically.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um but I actually was on like like a clan and like we competed and stuff like that.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: So um and then uh the Dreamcast, uh Marvel vs.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: Capcom 2, the largest uh uh fighting cast in any fighting game history.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: There were 64 playable characters in it, and it was a fighting game.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and then Def Jam Fight for New York.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: Oh man, what an underrated game that was.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: All of them were, but Fight for New York was the best.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_01: And I I always said, like, god damn, why don't they come back, you know, make a new one?
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: But I found out why.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: None of those rappers really got paid for that.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but and if they were to do it now, the cost would be insurmountable to get them on it.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: And if I remember correctly, that started its life as a I believe it was originally supposed to be a WCW wrestling video game, and at the time WCW had totally dissolved and got bought up.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: So they had to switch gears because there was no more wrestling company.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: I actually did not know that.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty sure that's what it was.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_00: I'd have to look.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to be wrong, but I'm I'm pretty sure.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_01: But those games were so good, very good.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_01: But now now we're we're gonna get into my my my my big hitters.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_01: Um I'll start, I guess, not necessarily for lack of a better term, but at the bottom.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: But Mortal Kombat 2.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_01: Um, my dad rented uh back in the day we had video time, yeah, and he rented Mortal Kombat 1 for me and I got hooked.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um but then the Christmas of I believe it was '94, uh, I got Mortal Kombat 2 for, as you said, the Sega Genesis.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: And uh to this day it's still probably my favorite Mortal Kombat game.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_01: It was just so good.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um next I'm gonna go into um Mario 64.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um one of the greatest games, uh, Mario games ever.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I know we go Mario 3.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: Some people say um uh not Mario Yeah, Mario Sunshine, a lot of or uh not Mario Sunshine, Mario Galaxy.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, all great games, even Mario Odyssey, the most recent one.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_01: Or well, there's been Mario Wonder, but anyways, um uh I love Mario 64.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: Me too.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I love watching the people speedrun it.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, that's crazy.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but now my top three.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: Um my number three is Breath of the Wild.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, that's a uh that's a more newer one, but um I know a couple of diehard uh uh Legend of Zelda fans that did not like it because it was open world, and I said that's kind of ignorant because even the original one was kind of open world, right?
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but again, you're allowed to have your opinion.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: I won't gatekeep, but I disagree.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: Um I thought it was phenomenal.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_01: It was uh uh it kept you there was so much to do, side missions, it was just Breath of the Wild was great.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, and going into my number two is also a Zelda game.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: And it's the remake that was just revealed, and that's Ocarina of Time.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, nice, yeah.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: That's probably the head.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_01: They're doing a remake.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I'm fucking stoked for that.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um it's just a cinematic video game, like just masterpiece.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I've beat it so many times.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_01: I love it.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh there's not a I don't have a complaint about the game.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm getting a face here, guys.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_00: I admittedly, bro, unfortunately, I have never have been the biggest fan of Zelda.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_00: And and there's nothing wrong with them.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's just personally for me, I've just never been a big fan of that.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_01: You don't strike me as an RPG kind of guy anyway.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying I'm right, but you you don't seem like you play typical RPG type movies.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's just yes and no, but Zelda for me was just never a big because I didn't have it took a long time for me to get an N64.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: And we never had it on on NES.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: My dad was not a fan of playing video games back then.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: Like my mom played Tetris.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's the only thing she ever played.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: And there's I don't have it here, but I have it at home.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: But there's a bowling game, championship bowling, from back in the day.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_00: We would all play at my grandparents' house, and you know, games like that were kind of where my mom kind of she was in her little bubble.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: She was happy with that.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, Zelda was never in my house.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: I will give my number one, and I've I've thought it over and thought it over.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_01: I've said it before, and sometimes, but it just I go back to it and that's Resident Evil 4.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: Good game.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_01: I I'm not joking.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_01: I've beat that game on every console it's been report reported for, and I guarantee you I've beat it.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_01: I'd say at least 50 times.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I I I love it.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_01: I never get bored with it.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_01: Uh the remake is is just as good.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_01: I've played the shit out of it.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, that's uh ironically, you know, a lot of people when they make their video game lists and stuff that they go very old school with some of them.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um but I I I guess really outside of Mario 64, I didn't really go back that far.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: So uh with that, what's your uh list looking like there, Babbo?
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's not surprisingly too very different, and I've been making changes as we're like talking about it because it's kind of one of those situations that I'm like, yeah, you know you're right.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I guess I'm gonna go more honorable mention to start, but Mortal Kombat 2, even though it should be higher for me, because I love Mortal Kombat, and I we we've grown up with it since it started.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you can see it.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: I definitely have the dragon tattooed on my arm.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_00: So But that that's I love that game.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's probably outside of 11 is probably my favorite all-time Mortal Kombat game, is too, because that started to branch out into more characters, more different sweet ways to kill somebody.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_01: The motion capture was getting better.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: That's kind of my honorable mention.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna start on the on the bottom with Vice City from PS2 because I love that game.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: I actually have a port of that on my PS4.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: Play the shit out of it, use all the cheat codes because I'm a bastard.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_01: Don't care.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: I bought the uh definitive collection that they came out with with three Vice City and San Andreas.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's a good one.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I have that on my PS4.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: I like we were kind of chit-chatting a little bit before, you know.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: I I I like Andres, San Andres.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's a great game.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of innovative too when you really think about all the stuff you were doing.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you had to work out, you had to sleep, you had to sleep.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: Like they they definitely uh they they definitely made it life and bounds.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um but it's but I don't know.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: I just I never played any of them as much as I just put time into Vice City, man.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_00: Me too.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_00: And my the next one on my list is a little bit newer is Jedi Survivor, and I have Fallen Order right here.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_00: And Fallen Order should be on the list because it's the first one.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: But Survivor is that much better, and I don't know if you've played it or not yet.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_01: I I we own it, but I haven't.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: I've only played Fallen Order, I haven't got into Survivor yet.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: You're doing a disservice to yourself by not playing Survivor, but again, Fallen Order should be higher, it should be honorable mentioned because it's really, really good, especially when you fight get to fight Vader.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: It almost made my list.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but there was just some other ones that I would go to before I would go to that, so that's kind of why it got left off.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_00: But Survivor's Killer.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's the story continues, it's got the same voice actors, it's really just fantastically done.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_00: And then my next one on the list, even though as much of a bastard as it is, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original on NES.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'm gonna jump to Super Mario Brothers on NES, and then my number two is gonna be Assassin's Creed Black Flag.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_00: Which this is a trilogy.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: Black Flag is on there.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: I played the shit out of that game.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: I've vlogged hundreds of hours on Black Flag, it's amazing.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's probably for me, it's the best Assassin's Creed game, even though I'm enjoying Valhalla very, very much.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: And then my number one favorite game is God of War 2018.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_00: Because you know me, I love God of War, the whole series.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: And the original three, four were the hack and slash, you know, there was a lot of puzzles, and it was they were awesome for the time because it started on PS2.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: And then it was gone for a while.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then when this came out in 18, it was like, what are we getting?
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: And then to see the trailers, and then to finally have it and play it, it was like, holy shit, this is a completely different game, but not right, if that makes sense.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: And it was I love it, and I have Ragnarok over there, yeah.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: Ragnarok over there, and Ragnarok is just as good.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's so they're both very, very good.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_00: Love 'em, but yeah, God of War 2018.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_00: Those are just amazing game.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_01: Those are really, really, really, really good choices.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_00: It kind of runs the gamut for me, though, from old to new to growing up what I liked.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_00: So but I'm I'm I'm happy with that.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_01: And like I said, God of War is that's that's a that's a widely renowned uh you know masterpiece game.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and you know why 2018 was so good is because Corey Barlog, who did I think one and two or one, he came back and did he wrote this and did this.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_00: And then bringing in um oh god, what's his name?
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_00: The guy that did Kratos and uh Christopher Judge.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_00: He came in, did the voice of Kratos, did the mocap.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_00: Was like and and that seemed to have made all the difference.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_00: And nothing against the guy that originally played Kratos voice actor-wise.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: But Michael Judge is legit, you know, like 6'4, he's a big dude.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_00: Do you remember him from what Stargate?
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_00: Stargate?
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_01: Look, Caesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, and Mark Hamill redefined Joker.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_01: That's Heath Ledger.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, just because you weren't the first doesn't mean you aren't the best.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, alright.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, so I guess with that, we'll go into favorite uh video game characters.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_01: This was a good one that you came up with.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: I know, right?
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_01: It's kind of weird.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_01: It took me a while to actually come up with five.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_01: Me too, man.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: But uh I I I did come up with uh some some obscure ones.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but I will I will start with my bottom three just because they're all from the same series.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um interesting.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_00: Resident Evil.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_01: Um Leon.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_01: Uh he was in two, four, six, yeah, and nine.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_01: Uh he's in the new one.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_01: And um, I just, I don't know, I love the aesthetics of him.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_01: Uh what really sold it for me was in Resident Evil 9 Requiem.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um, even his personality is different than Resident Evil 2.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_01: Like, he's aged with the series.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_01: Like, he's not even like dealing with zombies is almost like a you know, another day at the office for him.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_01: Uh he's he's almost, you know, kind of closed off a little bit.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but then it's gonna go into uh this is for you know the newer players, but Resident Evil 8 Village, um, there's a there's a a character that you can upgrade guns and stuff, and his name is Duke.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_01: Duke.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_01: He's a gigantic fat guy, and I mean like the ones you would see on like my 600-pound life.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh interesting, as I'm trying, I'm sorry, I'm trying to adjust by I apologize if you pop it or anything.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um but uh he says a line in it that I'm gonna wait because it plays into my third character.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_01: Uh my third favorite character is the merchant from Resident Evil 4.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so the merchant in Resident Evil 4, you're in uh a South American country, and um there's the uh Las Plagas is what it's called, and you have the people are taking over it, but you got this merchant that's kind of not really like he's just kind of there and he's got like a British accent, and he's he's amazing, and uh he says things like uh you know, whatcha buying like he's iconic, and when they did the remake, I I I don't know if they couldn't find the guy or maybe passed away.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_01: They didn't get the original voice, but he did a good job.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_01: It wasn't the same, but he did a good job.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_01: But what I'm getting to with not a complete hack?
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_01: No, um, but in so in eight, what Duke says is um uh he has a line when you go up to him where he says, What are you buying?
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_01: Ha ha ha.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry, that's just a line from a friend of mine.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_01: So it's a throwback to the old one, and I and I and I really like that.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um my second favorite character uh is Sub Zero.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Mortal Kombat.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_01: One of my favorites.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um there's a there's been a lifelong rivalry with me and Jermaine when it comes to that game.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_01: He is Scorpion, I am Sub Zero.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_01: Um and last but not least, Link.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I you know, I'm a you know, I I really think if if we were to talk franchises, Zelda would probably, Zelda and Resident Evil would probably be 1v1b for me.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_01: So Link is my there's been different iterations, um Adult Link, Teen Link, Young Link, uh, and I just he never talks.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_01: He's just the quiet assassin.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah, and I just yeah, I'm just I'm a I'm a Zelda fan.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_01: So what about your I think yours are gonna be interesting because the one thing I will say is yeah, our video game tastes, although they're very same, our games different things like that, differ in very very uh in many ways.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_00: But that's what makes it awesome to talk about.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's it's fun conversation.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'm actually gonna start off with my honorable mention that's gonna be uh Agent 47 from Hitman.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's a good one.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_00: So I loved uh Blood Money, Hitman Blood Money on PS2, phenomenal game.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, those are a lot of people don't remember that game, but goddamn, what a good game!
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_01: I played the first few and then I just didn't keep up with it.
• 30:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but I'm I'm I'm gonna go on my actual list now.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_00: But Calcestus from Fallen Order, yeah, Survivor.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_00: I thought well done, well voiced, um good character, nice progression over from the first to the second game.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_00: I hope they make another one at some point.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I thought I had heard that it was supposed to be a trilogy, so it was like I hope so.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I'm gonna go classic and go Sonic the Hedgehog.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_00: Can't go wrong with classic characters, yeah.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_00: And that that's kind of from my Bubba too.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_00: He loves Sonic.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_00: How many I can't tell you how many years in a row he's been Sonic for Halloween.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like three or four now.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_01: And the movies are really, really they are well done.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_01: We've taken time to see them, I think all of them in the theater.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we've seen all of them.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_00: I love Jim Carrey's uh Dr.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_00: uh Eggman or Dr.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_00: Robotnik.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_00: I I would say Dr.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_00: Robotnik because I'm old, but yeah, but they call him Eggman.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't like the Eggman shit.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's stupid.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_00: And this is gonna be a weird one, but I I reference Black Flag.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_00: But the main character is named Edward Kenway in Black Flag.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I've never played it, so this is fun for me.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_00: Pirates, man?
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_00: No, I mean I'm I'm aware of it.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_01: I just I I haven't I haven't played it.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_00: But they they make some references, I think, to it's been a while since I've played it, but I believe it's Blackbeard, and there's a couple other famous pirates that they mention, and there's different parts of the map where you can fight like historical like ships from back in the day, like English, uh Spanish, stuff like that.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_00: But just a good game.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_00: I mean it's it's just you should sometime.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_00: Oh no, for sure.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_01: Sometime I know you're not a huge Assassin's Creed fan, but I just I never I never dove into them enough to really get into them.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_00: I would tell you to start with Black Flag.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_00: Honest to God.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_00: You could skip like the other couple on this one, but black flag is where you should start because that's where it's at.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_00: Alright.
• 32:41
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'm gonna go easy and go Mario, because Mario's been around forever.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_01: You can't really yeah, I mean, and and yeah.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's a worldwide known, you know, I mean and as I've alluded to, because I have God of War 2018 as my number one favorite game of all time, Kratos is my favorite character of all time.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_01: He was also a uh was it Soul Caliper or was it Mortal Kombat Combat.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_01: Or uh I don't think it was Mortal Kombat, I think it was the uh Injustice.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_00: One of them.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, they did some cameo stuff with him.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I gotta look that up.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_01: He was a uh secret character in one of the fighting games, I do believe.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_00: And and for me, you know, one of one of the reasons I like the character so much is if you really go back and look at the first couple games, you know, it was almost like he was just a bloodthirsty murderer out for revenge on, you know, obviously becoming the god of war and in the first one destroying Ares.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_01: So I was right on both accounts.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um, Mortal Kombat 9, which was just called Mortal Kombat, that came out in 2011.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, he's a playable character on that, but his first uh was Soul Calibur Broken Destiny.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_01: He made his first fighting game appearance, and it was console exclusive.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so PlayStation got him and Nintendo got Link, and I forget what the other one was.
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, so yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_01: So he's I mean, he's he's a a prominent and staying powered video game character.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_00: Again, I like I like the arc, like I said from the beginning, when you find out that he was tricked into killing his his family, right and then to the new ones where he's come out of you know Greek mythology into Norse mythology and finds a a a new wife and has a new child, and finding out that she's passed away, but kind of it he's grown from just like I said, a bloodthirsty, revenge-seeking, you know, monster to hey, let's let's take a step back and maybe think about this.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then he's teaching his son, and you know, like I said, overall, if you look at the whole story and character arc of Kratos, it's probably one of the best ever written in video games, in my opinion.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_00: Which doesn't mean shit, but you know.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_01: Alright.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_01: So uh we did that.
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_01: Let's um Alright, let's go into what what what games we've put the most hours into.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_01: Most played.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I'll start.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_01: Um so honestly, I would say probably the game that has the most hours, uh, because it's an online game for me, would be Call of Duty.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the amount of time, I mean shit.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_01: With Black Ops 6, yeah.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_01: I believe I was at 2003 hours played on that.
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_01: Me and Jermaine were playing the shit out of that between that and Warzone.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um and then I'm going to go.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_01: Probably the next most played for me are the Pokemon series games.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_01: Going all the way back to Red and Blue.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_01: Still play them.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_01: I still play Pokemon.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_01: I am a Pokemon guy.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_01: Um and I've played uh Red, Blue, and Yellow.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_01: And uh then I you know I got a little old and didn't play for a while.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_01: But then I uh when me and Rihanna got together, uh Sonny, my stepdaughter, she's a huge Pokemon fan too, so she got me back into it, and then I started going back and playing them.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_01: But um right around the time I was getting back into it was when um Generation 7 came out, and that was uh Sun and Moon.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_01: Um but I I'm a Pokemon guy, I've got a lot of hours into those games.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_01: Next I would probably go Oak Arena of Time.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_01: Uh beat it so many times, go back and play it.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um I've I've fucking hell put so many hours into that.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um I love it.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's just like I said before when we were talking about it, it's a masterpiece.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and then Breath of the Wild.
• 37:09
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I specifically remember I was at about 400 hours into that game.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_01: And that's not like that's in-game.
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_01: That's a pause.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_01: That's not right, right.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_01: That was in-game.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I put a lot of time into that.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_01: And my number one is Resident Evil 4.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_01: If you think about that, I've beat it well over 50 times.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_01: I get it on every console it's recorded on.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I got the remake as soon as it came out.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and and those are the games.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's other games I put a lot, Madden, yeah, but that's basically the same game as well.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, just a roster update every year.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, uh that you know, uh the old NBA Live going into the NBA 2Ks and um yeah, and all the GTA games, I put a ton of hours into those.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but those were the five that I really, really, really, you know, sunk my teeth into.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_01: So, what about you?
• 38:03
  SPEAKER_01: What are the games?
• 38:04
  SPEAKER_01: I know yours is gonna be a more eclective taste than mine.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but I I'm kind of going, I don't have a specific order or anything like that.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's just I just kind of went with the ones I thought I put the most time into.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_00: I I'm gonna have to go all the way back and and original Super Mario Bros.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_00: from Nintendo because no matter what you've played it on or how many times you've played, I mean you I've been playing it since I was like five years old.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's muscle memory.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_00: So however many hundreds of hours probably that I've dumped into that game, and however many thousands of times I've speedrun and beat it, you know, but it's one of those games.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, Mario Kart 64 for me, we would hang out when it would be raining in the summertime.
• 38:47
  SPEAKER_00: Me and my friends would come over, you know, we'd just hang out here and just play.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_00: We had a video game room downstairs here, and we would spend just hours and hours and hours playing Mario Kart 64.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_00: And it's just one of those games that I would love to have today with the steering wheel I had just to have fun and play.
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_01: And and and that's funny because the Mario Kart games really haven't ever released a bad one, in my opinion.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_00: No, for whatever reasons, Mario Kart 64 was my favorite.
• 39:20
  SPEAKER_01: No, that makes sense.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_01: I would actually probably go out of the Mario Kart games.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know, I'd have to think about that.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_01: That's yeah, that's a good one.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I talked about it a little bit ago, but uh Grand Theft Auto Vice City, man.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_00: Just and I've I had a PlayStation 2 forever and would just log in hours and hours and hours on that, and then when they put the port over for PS4 and for like eight bucks, I was like, yes, please.
• 39:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yoink.
• 39:53
  SPEAKER_00: But I've logged a ton of hours on that.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_00: I wish I had more time.
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's the problem now.
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that's well, it really cuts into how much time we put into this podcast now, too.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's okay though.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_00: This is fun.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_01: Well, no, no, no.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying it is a bad thing, I'm just saying, like, it's hard to find time when you're a father when you work, your husband.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the problem, too.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that there's a lot of times I don't get home till five o'clock.
• 40:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, just getting off, and then you gotta switch from you know full-time employee to full-time dad.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_00: And that doesn't pay shit, by the way.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but again, I wish I had more time because I I that's one of those games.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I kind of have a tie here too.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's Fallen Order and Survivor.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_00: I put a lot of time into those games.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_00: They're just a lot of fun.
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_00: You do lose yourself, it really feels like you're playing a Star Wars movie.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, for sure.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_01: But like I said, I played Fallen Order and just Right.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_01: Like you don't even realize how much time's passed as you're playing it.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_01: And that's the sign of a good game.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_00: But that but see, that's one of those games, too, that we could have, you know, kind of looking back in hindsight.
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_00: Our first episode, we did the Star Wars special.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_00: If you haven't listened, shame on you.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_00: Go back.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_01: No video, audio, only audio.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_00: Go back.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, only audio.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_01: Trust me, it's a good episode.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_00: But we could have talked for half an hour just about you know the video games.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, absolutely.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, dude, Knights of the Old Republic, Battlefront, Rogue Squadron, Rogue Squadron, the pod racing one for 64.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_01: That was actually a fun good one.
• 41:23
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, there's so many games.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_00: And then the top two, I guess, for me, would be uh God of War 2018 and Ragnarok.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_00: I logged tons of hours I've been through and you know, beaten them both a ton of times.
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_00: But you know, it's another one of those games where you get lost in the story and you don't realize that holy shit, I've been playing this for like eight hours.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_00: What?
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and then your wife looks at you like, Are you gonna do anything today?
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like, apparently not.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's when you respond, I did.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_00: Right, I did.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_00: I beat a bunch of bad guys, spilled some fake blood.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no kidding.
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_01: So, man, we're moving right along with this episode.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's floating just like the last one.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man, we're getting we're getting down to a science.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go into I I mentioned this, I don't know if you wrote it down, but we'll bring it up just to kind of you know throw it in there.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_01: But games we want a new one or like a sequel to or maybe even a remake of, you know, because that's the thing now.
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_01: Like Resident Evil is remaking all of theirs, like they've already remade zero, uh one, two, three, and four.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, they're coming out with Code Veronica X this year.
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um I have a couple of what we would like new games we want.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, that works.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_00: So I'll let you lead that one.
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I just I just had a couple, and we kind of talked about God of War.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_00: It it showed up a lot on my list, unfortunately.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_00: No, I apologize.
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_00: But I I love the idea that was pitched a couple years ago after Ragnarok came out, and the potential was that Kratos was going to go to Egypt and deal with Egyptian gods, and I would love to see that made at some point.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't care what they do now.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever they're gonna do is gonna be awesome.
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_00: If they're doing uh a video game of his wife, they need to do one of the one it of his wife.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_00: I gotta they need to do one of Atreus, his son.
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care if they do it as him traveling the lands or if they just do it as a Loki thing.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_00: I would I would want it.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's called God of War Loafy.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, she was a a giant.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_00: So that could be interesting.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's gonna be good, but whatever.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm fine with it.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_01: People are like as you like to say as you say and are correct, gatekeeping.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_00: Gatekeeping, yeah.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_00: Leave that shit to go.
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm fine with it as long as there's an appearance by at least the boy and Kratos.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm sure there will be.
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_00: And my other one, very quickly, as I I didn't have much 'cause I'm kind of like eh.
• 43:55
  SPEAKER_00: But I would love to see somehow, some way, I would love to see a sequel to Black Flag.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_00: Assassin's Creed Black Flag.
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_00: I would be fine with it.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how they'd do it, but it would be awesome.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I got a couple too.
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I would I would like to see them remake Vice City on today's engine.
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, gosh.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_01: I know Vice, I know uh GTA 6 is supposed to be kind of like that, but instead of a new game, just a remake like they've done with Resident Evil 4, like they're doing with Al Green and that'd be sick.
• 44:27
  SPEAKER_01: Um Mario Odyssey 2.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_01: Mario Odyssey is the one that launched with the Switch, and I don't think enough people played it.
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it's I think the second best Mario game ever created.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_01: I've never played it.
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_01: So much fun, dude.
• 44:43
  SPEAKER_01: You throw on different hats and they give you different abilities.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, no shit.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_01: And like, dude, it is so much fun.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_01: I would like to see them make an Odyssey Odyssey 2.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_01: Um back to what I said earlier, uh, the Def Jam games, the Fight for New York, Def Jam icon.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I would really like for them to do that again.
• 45:02
  SPEAKER_01: Again, there's no way they can make it because it would be so expensive.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um But you know, I just wish they could do that.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_01: And um last but not least, uh, even though we're getting a remake, I want to see an Ocarino time too.
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_01: Fucking let's go back to it again, man.
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_01: Like I that game again, the original Legend of Zelda, which was the only gold uh case ever created for the original Nintendo, was great.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_01: Uh two a link uh was it a link to the past?
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_01: They were all good games, but man, Oak Arena of Time, man.
• 45:41
  SPEAKER_01: Just I would love to see them make a sequel to that.
• 45:45
  SPEAKER_01: Um but yeah, uh I'm trying to think if there's any more.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_01: I can't trying to think off the top of my head.
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_01: I wrote those down.
• 45:56
  SPEAKER_00: I think it'd be cool if they did another Goldeneye.
• 45:58
  SPEAKER_00: A sequel to Goldeneye.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_00: That's just throwing it out there.
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_00: I think if they did.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_00: But make it like the original Goldeneye.
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_00: Because that game was that's another game.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_00: It I didn't put it on my list, but I logged a lot of hours on Goldeneye.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_01: We all did.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_01: It was one of the first split screen multiplayers and Jesus Christ.
• 46:14
  SPEAKER_00: Playing playing video games with your friends, just and it was a badass game.
• 46:18
  SPEAKER_00: Even just even on a solo mode, you know, mission mode, it was a badass game.
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_01: It was.
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_00: But it was more fun when it was multiplayer and you were killing the shit out of each other.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, it had a remake in 2010 for the Wii.
• 46:36
  unknown: Okay.
• 46:36
  SPEAKER_01: But that's it.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_00: Man, there's like somebody with a loud vehicle up and down the road like a jacket.
• 46:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's hot.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's hot.
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_00: My dad doesn't have air conditioning, I'm sorry.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_01: Was also re-released in 2023 for the Xbox.
• 46:55
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 46:57
  SPEAKER_01: Adding features like online play and achievements while preserving the classic experience.
• 47:03
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 47:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's interesting.
• 47:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um, just so they can get into what we do, where are we at on time, Bob?
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_00: Where are we at on time?
• 47:14
  SPEAKER_00: About 47 minutes.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_01: What should we do?
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_01: What what what let's just fucking go off the top of the dome?
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_01: It's just uh trying to think.
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I had one more that I added.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you added it or not, but uh did we do favorite franchise?
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_01: Oh shit.
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 47:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, favorite franchise.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_01: Alright, yeah, let's do it.
• 47:38
  SPEAKER_01: Now we can we can stroll off into the sunset.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_01: I'll let you go first with this one.
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_00: I did a I did like a top three for me.
• 47:46
  SPEAKER_00: That works.
• 47:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um Mortal Kombat's gonna lead me off.
• 47:51
  SPEAKER_00: Because I love Mortal Kombat, everything, you know, and played every single one, loved the first original three.
• 47:59
  SPEAKER_00: I had number four on uh Nintendo 64, which was the first time they integrated the 3D aspect of it all.
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was a shitty game.
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_00: It was, but it was still kind of cool at the time.
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_01: No, it was cool with the game, but if you go back and play it, it's a dog shit, it's unplayable.
• 48:14
  SPEAKER_00: And the the the audio recording stuff was just fucking god-awful.
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_00: And then my next one is gonna be Assassin's Creed because I've talked about it at length in this episode.
• 48:24
  SPEAKER_00: I love Assassin's Creed.
• 48:26

• 48:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's showed up a lot.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_01: I I need I've played the God of War.
• 48:33
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I need to get into Assassin's Creed because I see a lot of people, you know, say that they've made some really good games.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, and you know what game we didn't really bring up that's actually good, and I never I didn't think of Red Dead Redemption.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_00: Dude, Red Dead is Rockstar games, too.
• 48:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I completely forgot about that.
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_00: One and two.
• 48:49
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't play, I played a little bit of one, and I've seen two.
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I've been we have two, and I've I've played it a little bit, but that's another game you really have to devote time to.
• 48:58
  SPEAKER_00: So I need I would like to get into that.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, my number one's God of War.
• 49:02
  SPEAKER_00: Of course.
• 49:02
  SPEAKER_00: I love all of it.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, as well as you should.
• 49:05
  SPEAKER_00: I've played it across multiple consoles, uh handhelds.
• 49:09
  SPEAKER_00: I I've just I've played everything.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_00: I even saw the mobile piece of shit they did back in the day for a cash grab.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_01: They did the same thing with Mortal Kombat.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 49:19
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, that's it for me.
• 49:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's my number one favorite.
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_01: Dude, minor, minor obvious too.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 49:25
  SPEAKER_01: My third Mortal Kombat.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I have it tattooed.
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_01: I'm getting a new tattoo of Scorpion Sub-Zero.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_01: So uh number two is Legend of Zelda.
• 49:33
  SPEAKER_01: Um all of the mainline games.
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_01: They came out with a kind of uh a different style of game called uh Hyrule Warriors.
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and it's more of like a I don't even know what to compare it to.
• 49:48
  SPEAKER_01: Like a Elden Ring, I guess, kinda.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 49:52
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what to compare it to, but um uh I I I love every game in the series.
• 50:00
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and lastly it's Resident Evil.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_01: Uh this this is really a more recent um revelation for me, though, because Mortal Kombat's always been up there, Madden's been up there.
• 50:13
  SPEAKER_01: We just gotta deal with it, bro.
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_00: I know it's fucking annoying as shit.
• 50:18
  SPEAKER_01: But um I I really started thinking about it, and over this recent, I realized how much like there's only one game in the series I don't like, and that's Resident Evil 6.
• 50:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was alright.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_01: It was dog shit.
• 50:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um, but the rest of them are good.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and you know, I find myself going back to them multiple times.
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like you said with God of War, yeah, Resident Evil 4 has been on every console that they poured it to that I've owned.
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I will always play that game, it is so fun.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and you know, yeah.
• 50:50
  SPEAKER_00: Um But it and it's one of those rare video games for me with Resident Evil that the movies, because we just covered movies in TV on the last episode, but to kind of to piggyback on that, the movies did so much justice to the video games to me.
• 51:08
  SPEAKER_00: They were good, but they did their own thing with them too.
• 51:11
  SPEAKER_01: The one that's being made that's coming out in September is gonna be more close to the game.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_01: And it's not gonna have any of the original characters.
• 51:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's cool.
• 51:22
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_01: Um, what the director of this one that's coming out said is the thing that that got me is that um although they are good movies, yeah, they didn't feel like a video game.
• 51:41
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_01: This one the guy said, you know, if you've played Resident Evil, you know you gotta search everywhere.
• 51:48
  SPEAKER_01: You gotta search, you know, desk drawers.
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_01: You have to open up like the main character in this.
• 51:54
  SPEAKER_01: You're gonna be following him and only him for most of the movie.
• 51:58
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, first person.
• 52:00
  SPEAKER_01: He's gonna be finding weapons on the ground, run out of ammo, have to find so it's gonna be more closely related to the game, just not with the characters.
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_00: But I I think a lot of people forget that the first couple Resident Evil's were were designed that way.
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_00: It was more of a puzzle.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_01: They were, but the problem with the original was is they created a character that wasn't in the game.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_01: Alice was not in the game, right?
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and that was where I kind of had my issues with it.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_01: It was more closely related to the game than most of them, but you know, you're not it's the same with the new Mortal Kombat movie that came out in 2021.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the biggest bitch people had was them creating a character for it in Cole.
• 52:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I didn't think he did that bad.
• 52:45
  SPEAKER_01: No, it was but again, he was unnecessary.
• 52:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and the lore that they got into him being a descendant of Scorpion just was like, you could have just had Scorpion in it, dude.
• 52:58
  SPEAKER_01: Which they did, yeah, which they did.
• 53:01
  SPEAKER_01: So I you know, that was a little odd, but um Yeah, but it was it was fine.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_01: But they were I mean they were good.
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it was good, you know.
• 53:09
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I I had my gripes about it.
• 53:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um apparently, though, this next one is supposed to be Yeah, I haven't seen it yet.
• 53:16
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Jermaine said it was really good.
• 53:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, oh yeah, we both are.
• 53:22
  SPEAKER_01: Uh that was one of the things we bonded at it bonded with as teenagers.
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um was video games and music and specifically Mortal Kombat.
• 53:30
  SPEAKER_01: But um I think we Do you Yeah.

  SPEAKER_01: Oh god, guys.
• 55:39
  SPEAKER_01: When we said like we're fans of all the stuff we talk about, but the one thing I will say out of all of them that that combined between the two of us is music.
• 55:48
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, we could honestly make this an ongoing series because you know, we like a lot of different types of music, a lot of artists, bands, and stuff, and we could talk about this for days, and we are we we we that is our goal, and we're gonna try to make it, you know, we're not gonna try to rehash the same stuff, we're gonna try to make it more interesting and talk about other things, but still keep the same vein because again, guys, we're music lovers.
• 56:14
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, at our heart, that's our biggest thing that we agree on.
• 56:16
  SPEAKER_01: That's what we we talk about that and now the podcast, but before it was it was our first three.
• 56:23
  SPEAKER_01: It was that Star Wars and sports, but music is number one.

• 57:23
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we we we've got down to where we're going to record two episodes regardless every week because we can fit it in.
• 57:30
  SPEAKER_01: And that gives us more time to really put the effort in making the videos pop and and really put time into these episodes like we really want to for you guys.
• 57:38
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we didn't know where we were gonna go in with this.
• 57:41
  SPEAKER_01: We were gonna do it regardless, and even if we didn't have you know 275 downloads right now, if we only had 40 for seven episodes, yeah, six episodes, I'm sorry.

• 58:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, they're gonna be a shorter episode, not pertaining to anything in particular, but kind of more just us bullshitting.
• 58:48
  SPEAKER_01: It could be us bullshitting, it could be uh a specific movie that dropped, and maybe we'll just give it a 25-minute deep dive.
• 58:55
  SPEAKER_01: Something it could be something in the news, right?
• 58:58
