  Speaker 3: It has been a while. We've had so many guests
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: lately and such, which is great.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: I had suggested to Steve earlier that maybe we should
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: get like just a generic guest intro, just so we
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: can always still do our.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe pretty funny and welcome.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Hey, you're our guest. Do your best. It's gonna be
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: a fun fest.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: There we got, God, let's cut that.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: You just literally cut that out.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: In the trademarks. No one could have that one, no one.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: That'd be great.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I like yours though, because like such amazing jingles,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: such as.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: From the Minds of Things.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I could just make another one. You're our guest.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: To take a bunch of them, Like, let's just do
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a bunch now, man, I'll just cut.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Them a bunch. I all have a little clown honk.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: I always gotta have the clown horn just rotate through
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: ship for each guy. Got to remind them what circus
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: they walked into.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Accurate, accurate you consented when you walk through the cabin. Yeah, Kevin,
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: it's a little cabin. It is a little It is fine.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I like it. It's it's cozy as well. It's so
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: much cool shipping here. Uh, despite being a small a
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: smaller space, it still feels cozy, which is great.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's not bad. It doesn't feel claustrophobic at all.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: No, no, not at all.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Even mean we had.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Like five people, yeah we did. We did seven at
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: one point.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it really wasn't that bad. We had a
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: different table space too at that time, I think, so, Yeah,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: it still wasn't that bad because it only took up
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: like pretty much the same space. Honestly.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was cool.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: This is a weird angle.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we got way off Tangent. I was introducing and
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: we just completely flew.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: And then I introduced Dave and I just kind of
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: went there.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: So I guess the question I will ask is is
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: there a game that you have been frustrated by recently?
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah? It was very quick, Yes, I mean it's so
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: low hanging fruit because it's meant to be. But I've
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: been playing Monster Hunter lately. I've been jumping back and
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: forth between World and Rise. I played World back when
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: when it first came out on Xbox and everything like that,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: and I played with my friends. I loved it hard
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: back then I got it on PC. Now with the DLC,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: still hard now a lot of fun. But somehow I'm
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: playing Rise again and uh, it's supposed to be the
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: easiest in the series. I don't know. Maybe it's the controls,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: maybe it's the tag patterns, but I always felt like
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: this is actually slightly harder, maybe because I have less
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: experience with it, but it does frustrate me.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I have.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: I have done a couple of times where I'm like,
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: you know what, I'm gotta put this game down because
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I start yelling to myself. But then I go back
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: and kick ass. But that's just how the game is.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Mazer Hunter has always been like, it's hard, open wide.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: That's fair. Yeah, Fair's definitely fair, all right?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And uh, and the other member of our exquisite team here,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: he's a veteran and a podcaster, and as it turns out,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: that makes him a veteran podcaster. It's Stevie.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: It's STEVEE. It's Steve.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Dang right.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: They don't get any weirder, yes, sir, changes one. God
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: damn it, God, god damn it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Weird asshole searching.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Searching for Stevie's searching for weird assholes in your area.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Hey, this one's a cue. I am so sorry. It's
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: really not stee anyway, Stevie doing good their game even
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: playing recently that you found frustrating.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say Monster Hunter, but you chose
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: because he got me into it.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: I try not to say that I also got him
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: into a Yeah, really played it.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Finally got it to work. But regardless of that one,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: because that was a connection issue for like minutes. Figure
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it out. Austin a cyber and a diabetic. I'll try
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: to get into the same lobby. Two of us could
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: always get together, but the third never could.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: I hold you, man. Monster Hunter is hard. W is
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: a tough game, and.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: It was funny because, like I had, I was on
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a time schedule. I was like, we got an hour
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to play because I'm gonna be able to think show
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: like in an hour. So it's like we got like
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes and we got one hunted on this easy monster.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: But that's not even the one boulders Gate three. So
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: by multiple games going on right now again, which is fine,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: but I also have a single player one finally, and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I'm playing an evil rogue, which is so much fucking fun.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, evil characters.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I am fucking like, Oh, this person
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: stuck in a cage. I'll stick up behind him, pickpocket them.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Then I will come out and talk to them. Then
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I will free them. Then they come out. Then I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: go turn base mode, stamp them in the back, kill them.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Then I steal from him again because Gold somehow disappears
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: there even though I already pickpocket.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: It was a question between their butt cheeks.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, but the game itself, the mechanic of you have
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to quick safe cont just because of the mouse movement.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: If you there's no like confirmation for your movement. It's like,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: if you click, it's going, it's happening, unless you're like
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: intern based mode, and that's the only thing. There's no like,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: oh crap, I didn't mean to do that. It just happens,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and it's fine. It's just frustrating because it happened to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: me at least twice every session I'm playing, and I'm
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: by myself, so I'm like yelling at myself, like, motherfucker,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: why did you grow quick clicking it well, my handshaking,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So it's just frustrating. Fair.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm surprised they don't have a click to confirm options.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: There's gotta be a mod especially when it comes to movement,
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: because yeah, when we play together, it happens to us
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: all the time. In combat, I'm like, I meant to
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: what I did not mean to warun away from this
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: guy who now has opportunity.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: God damn it, and you didn't click it them.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's saying I don't want to. I don't want
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: to quick load back because it's literally like two fights
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: ago because we forgot the quick say before this and
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: we have to win it or we're got to go
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: back too fights a go.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: We got my frustration to us.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: See, it's not as bad as mother's though, that's a
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: skill issue, connection scale issue.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well what about you are fearless leader.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I am your host pantss Aaron Oggie hit it stoners.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: As for me, I have I don't know why because
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I've not really been in that mood, but apparently I
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: have been. I don't know, but I got into playing
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: the Final Fantasy games that I have not played yet.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, so I sort of dropped off after Final
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Fantasy ten because Final Fantasy ten was honestly meh, I
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: know there are a lot of people who don't agree
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: with that, but it is an absolutely gorgeous game. One
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: of the most beautiful games ever made period. It's just
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: absolutely superbly graphically. For the PS two it was incredible,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: but the like, just the gameplay just it didn't feel
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: like it was all there. And also the sphear grid
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: thing didn't. I kind of enjoyed how it opened up
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: in the late game, but otherwise it didn't really work
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: for me. It just it just felt like you were
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, you could do your own things sort of,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: but it was just it was just unwieldy. I guess
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: how did you feel?
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: How did you feel about the like the legendary weapon
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: grinds you had to do, oh Jesus get the best
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: weapons for your gual Oh.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I didn't bother. I didn't fucking bother.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: I just you know, I found I remember that lightning field.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I found really good weapons. Yeah, where you have to
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: dodge the lightning two hundred times without failing, executively, consecutive
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: without failing. If you miss a single one, you have
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: to start all over. Uh so, if you can get
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: to one hundred and sixty five, you will be cursing
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: everyone at square who designed that.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: My father, who was a gamer, loved all the final fantasies.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Fantasies was what you got us into. Initially, when he
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: played ten, I watched him for hours growing these legendary weapons.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: I don't know how he didn't lose his ship because
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: like that Lightning one.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Was when you're when you're that into it, like I'll
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: go for the legendary weapons and stuff in like Final
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Fantasy seven, Final Fantasy eight, because I'm so into it
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: that I'm like, I want to, I want to one
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: hundred percent this game.
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: I want to.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I want to squeeze all the fun that I can
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: out of this time. You put your time, Yeah, you
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: put yourself into it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: We did that story in the day let me but
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: it was a bit more structured.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Let me quickly describe three games in which I did
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: not do any of that. So the first game I
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: played was Final Fantasy twelve the Zodiac Age, which is
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: very is very weird, and our friend of the show
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: cj aka dj xanthus agrees with me that it is.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: It is one of the worst fantasies I've played. It
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: is again, it's very pretty.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: The some of the characters are cool. Some of them
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: just tacked on, Like the protagonist. I hate to say that,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: but he's basically along for the ride for the whole game.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: He has almost no purpose after the opening.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: He's a Titus without the importance.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Titus is actually relevant to the plot.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Titus will be annoying, but he's he's relevant to the plot.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Von Von from Final Fantasy twelve might as well not
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: even be there. He's just another guy, honestly, just a dude,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Just a dude, honest to god. He's just along for
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: the ride. Having said that, I did enjoy the ending,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: but I mean getting there was ridiculous. The battle system
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: is more like programming than it is like actually playing.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: It's like you, you pro you give your characters these
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I can't remember what they're called off the top of
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: my head, but they're basically like gut like programming guiderails
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: like if if an ally falls below fifty percent health,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: cast cure, if if an enemy has more than ten
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: thousand hit points, use this powerful spell, like.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's kind of cool.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: It is a complicated programming, right.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: It is a neat idea on paper, but in play
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: it basically means you wander into an enemy, the battle
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: sets up, and then you sit there and watch, oh ill.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: You don't get to make any choices.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I mean you can, but it's again unwieldy and difficult.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Just set everything up.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: It is. It is literally easier to just set everything
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: up and if something is going wrong, you can change.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I think they're called gambits, Yes, I think gambits. Yeah,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: you change between these gambits on the fly. But still
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: it's like, so.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: You're you're playing a game that you're just watching a movie.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Kind of battle simulator, a battle simulator, Yeah, you're just
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: kind of.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: It's a Final Fantasy battle simulator basically, you know, it's
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: it's yeah, it's it's let's just say it's not great.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Let's move on to Final Fantasy thirteen, okay, which I
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: actually kind of enjoyed more than twelve, despite it being
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: a series of corridors with barely any offshoots, like you're
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: basically just wandering down a straight line. It was incredibly linear.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: We're so lazy guys, Like all of.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: The fights are pretty much laid out in front of you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: You can avoid them by running past them. But aside
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: from that, it's like, I mean, you're gonna you're gonna
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: want to fight everything just to get as much level
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: up as you can. But anyway, it isn't until like
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: the very end of the game, like where they finally
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: present you with an open area that you can explore
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: and you can choose to do some of these things
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: or not. You you really don't have a choice. You
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: kind of have to because you'll be under leveled if
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: you try and keep going without doing any of the
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: extra stuff. But they finally give you, hey, here's some
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: extra stuff to do if you want. You can run around,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: you can you can like soothe these grieving souls who
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: are trapped here. Blah blah blah blah blah.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: Cool.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: So there's a bunch of side quests, but only in
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: this one area at the very end of the game,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: and then when you get past that, back to linear
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: corridors until the very end. Now, the ending was kind
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: of cool, and I cared a little bit more about
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: the characters because they were all involved this time. But honestly,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: it just felt like again, it felt like almost like Squares,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: like showing off their cinematic capabilities, and some of the
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: movies were like some of the things were so hard
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: to make out because they were like incredibly close up action,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: like going ape shit, oh you know where like it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: It would have been easier to tell if the camera
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: had been zoomed out, but like, you know, clearly they.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Do you think I like, here's my tinfoil half for
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: that one. Do you think that Square Enix just wanted
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: an excuse to make an ut Final Fantasy movie?
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah? It felt a lot.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: And that they're like, here's the game. Look how cinemaca is. Now,
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: let us do a movie. And they did do other
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: like they did another Final Fantasy seven movie I think
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: relatively recently within the last decade.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Shit. Well I don't know whether it was just popular
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: enough or whatnot, but they decided to make two sequels
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: to that game. Wow, which is ridonculous. They'd only ever
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: done Final Fantasy ten to two before game.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: So poorly received sequels.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean everybody, everybody literally hated it. So instead
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: of moving on, they're like, no, trust me, this world
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: is worth exploring. Let's do more. Okay, So they made
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Final Fantasy thirteen to two. Uh, And I got to say,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: at first, I was like, Okay, the battle systems better. Uh,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: it's it's more fun the first one. I should say
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: all these games have well the first two anyway, they
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: have these. Again, it's a little bit like programming because
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: you have these mo yeah, kind of like gamuts, except
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: that they're pre programmed for you. So you have Commando,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: which is all out attack. You have Ravager, which is
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: cast magic to try and you know, destabilize the enemy,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: stagger them. You have Sentinel, which is defend and heel
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: we will defend more than he'll but defend. You have
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: the Medic which is the heel you know, cast healing,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: and you have Sabatur which casts de buffs on the enemy,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: and you have Sinner just switch casts buff on the party,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: and you can switch between these six modes whenever you want.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: You can set up sets of three so you can
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: swap between them on the fly. So if you want
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: to have everybody on all assault all the time, you
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: can have three Commandos, or you can just like mix
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: and match however you want, and in battle you switch
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: between these on the fly, which is kind of cool.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit more engaging than the Gambus system
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: from before. You can't really change much of the programming,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: but what you can do is level up each individual setting.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: You can level up the Commando, you can pull up
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: the ravager, so they get stronger attacks, they get more abilities,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: they can do more damage, that sort of thing. But
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: you have to be able and ready to switch between
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: these on the fly, because they're very good about creating
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: encounters where the monsters will change the way things work
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden. Oh, or you'll see a big
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: they'll forecast like a big attack because you'll see the
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: name of it pop on on the screen and then
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: the camera zoom out and you go, oh shit, this
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: is gonna be bad. Everybody in Sentinel now, like, just
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: just put everybody on car right, So it is more engaging,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: it's more interactive, you feel more involved. You're still not
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: directly telling your characters what to do, like you're still
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: kind of sitting back and watching, but it was better.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: And then they put fucking quick time events.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: In a.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Man, every team, every single boss fight has quick time.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Every one right there, And well, I can sit and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: watch a story at least.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Nope, here's here's the here's the absolute worst part. Okay,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: So throughout Final Fantasy thirteen and thirteen two, you can
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: sort of you can sort of jump like they have
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: obstacles in the environment you need to jump over. Okay,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: these are usually indicated by little blue glowing circles on
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: the ground, and you just in Final Fantacy thirteen you
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: just run up to them. In Final Fantasy thirteen two
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: they added a jump button, so now you run up
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: to them and press the jump button. Your character will jump,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: and you can jump whenever you want. There's not much
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: use for it aside from these obstacles, but you can
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: do it. I didn't really know why until I got
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: to the final dungeon, which turned out to be a
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: bunch of floating platforms which separated by small gaps.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: No.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a platforming dungeon in the middle of
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: this game that has had nothing to do with platforming.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Square Enix is not known for making platformers, and trust me,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: they dropped the ball in this one. It was so
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: incredibly frustrating. I just started throwing Sarah to her death.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I literally just started throwing, like jumping off deliberately, like
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: multiple times in a row. Hoping this Square and except
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Program Day you appeared to be having a hard time
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: with this. Would you like to skip this section? They
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: did not, so I basically just threw her to her
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: death like twenty times pointlessly. I did eventually get through it,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: and I got to the ending, and it was surprisingly sad,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: and then it tore everything inside out, made the entire
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: game fucking pointless. The ending literally takes the rugout from
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: under you. It is a very very bad ending, very
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: very bad for you. The characters spoilers. I don't care
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: if you're gonna play.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: This game has been out long enough and you're not
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: gonna play.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Honestly, Yeah, if you were going to play this game,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: he can consider this a legitimate warning. Don't like. Like
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I said, it was better. It was better than Final
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Fat thirteen until the qreak time events and this bullshit
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: platforming and the ending literally made me so angry. I
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: was like, why did I waste my time with this game?
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Aside from it, it had all the ingredients of a
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: great game. You time travel, you can jump between different
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: periods of time at will, you can go back and forth,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: there's multiple there's additional stuff. There's tons of side stuff
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: in this game. You can go to different eras and
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: complete different puzzles. There's actual puzzles in this game. Like,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: there's a lot to this game. That could have been
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: awesome if the main game didn't make it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: And it seems kind of like hypocritical for someone who
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: likes Sponsor Hunter to bash qtse can Sponsor Hunter is
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: just a giant QT anyways, is it? I mean it's not,
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: but yeah, no, it's It's not like you know, like, oh,
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: I gotta hit zero or I'm dead. It's more like
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: you gotta hit zero, dodge out of the way, or.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: You might take a little bit of down. That's not
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: a QTN. I guess that's active gameplay.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Whatever.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: The point is is that it's kind of blame to
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: put something like that in a j RPG, like a
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: role playing like turn based RPG. Why why would you
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: put in a game meant to be slow paced? Why
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: would you put a fast as fuck mechanic in your game? Yeah? Anyways,
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: I'm sure that it doesn't end there, right.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. I am now playing Lightning Returns Final
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Fantasy thirteen, which is the third and final game in
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: the saga, and I am grateful to say that so far,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I haven't finished it, but so far this game is
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: better than the previous two by an order of magnitude.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: First of all, you no longer command a party, you
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: command lightning.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: That's just just the one person, is it okay?
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: You can, I believe directly, Yeah, you can and do
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: directly choose her abilities as you go, because I think
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: it's an ingenious system. They have an active time bar,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: like like the you know the previous games had. However,
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: your actions take away from the time bar. It's not
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: time time refills it, but your actions. You choose and
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: you have the four buttons on the controller and each
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: one corresponds to a different action. You can assign the
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: actions like attack will take ten points off the bar
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: and do a regular attack. You can also do a
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: heavy slash, which takes forty points off the bar and
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: hits much much harder. You can also do spells which
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: do twenty five points and do a certain amount of damage,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: or other things you gotta Goeta can stagger the opponent
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: and all that stuff. And my favorite part of this
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: is you can switch between three active time bars at
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: a time. You can you can set each one to
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: be she wears a different armor set, she has a
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: different weapon, and she has a different shield. She also
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: wears different accessories, so you can set one up to
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: be like this is the maje Yes different lot, and
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: like the previous game, you can switch between them on
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: the fly, so when you empty out one, you can
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: be like, all right, I'm gonna switch to this next
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: one and just start wailing on them again. And it's
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: in real time. It's not turn based. The the enemy
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: will sit there and do attacks if you're just sitting
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: there waiting, so you're just you're literally like picking what
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: you want to do as you do it. It's one
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: of the most it's one of the most fun battle
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: systems I think Final Fantasy has ever had. Is it
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: is literally a lot of fun because you're directly controlling
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: or you're choosing what she does, and you're you can
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: still switch between the three modes to give you different
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: advantages if you need them, so it's strategic too, and
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: it's it's so far the story is better than the
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: previous two. But I'm not I'm knowing what happened last time.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna wait until I get to the
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: ending before I make a judgment on that. But here's
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: the thing that I don't like. So it has a
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: it has a very real legend of Zelda Majora's mask
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: thing going on where there's a timer. Now you have
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: a limited amount of time to do the things you
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: want and or need to do before the world ends.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Oh literally before the world ends. You have you have
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: you have six days to start with, but you can
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: add to that by doing main and subquests.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Main and subquests will get you souls that you can
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: then use to give yourself additional days. The maximumount of
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: days you can have is thirteen naturally, uh. And so
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: you have this timer running. And one of the neater
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: things about that is that some things are only open
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: during specific times, So if you want to get somewhere,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: you have to be there at a specific time, which
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: I don't hate because that's interesting. It makes the world
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: more interesting. But like if you miss a time, there's
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: no going back to it. You don't have to wait
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: till the next day. And so that limited time format,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know how well it's going to work in
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: an RPG, where typically people want to explore, they want
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: to see everything, and feeling like you don't have time
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: to do that is not I'm not a huge fan
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: of it. Having said that, I I've played through two
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: in game days and I've done a ton of stuff, Like,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: I've done a ton of side quests, I've done one
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: of the main quests. There's five in total, and I've
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: actually really enjoyed it. So it might be cool, perfectly cool,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: and it might be a bummer when I get to
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: the end and there's just not enough time to do
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: everything I want to do. Yeah, second, blaye through Yeah,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: I mean there's that. There might also be like a
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: time rewind mechanic that I don't know about. Oh, that
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: would be cool if you'd be allowed to go back
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: and give yourself the time to do the things that
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: you want to do. As it is now, there is
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: an ability to stop time. People keep moving, people keep
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: going about their day, but your time doesn't go down.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: It just stays. And you can use this for about
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: fifteen minutes at a time, fifteen minutes of real time,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: so it'll it'll stay frozen for a good amount of
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: time to let you do things that you need to
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: do if you're running out of time, if you're in danger,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: running out of time. So so far thumbs hesitantly up.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: We'll see how it ends, but so far, the battle
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: system is so much better than either of the previous games.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: The plot is still kind of batshit crazy. I mean,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: they all are, but each one is individually batshit crazy
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: from each other. It's it's weird, but I'm having a
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: good time with it. So hopefully it continues, and I'll
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: let you know, probably next Chill show or whatnot.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Hell's yeah, hell yeah, fuck you dude.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: So that I feel like I've taken it up a
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: good amount of time with that. Should we take our
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: first break? Let's do that, all right, so we'll be
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: back right after this. Hey man, let's hear from our
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: friends and fans. Do we have any comments, emails or voicemails.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: We do have a comment on Patreons, Oh sweet, heck yeah.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: It was show two sixty the super Fan Edition Volume
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: two where we had we had Bill on. Yeah, that
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: was so much fun, dude that it was a great time.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: It was great to meet Bill too.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Heck yeah, it's it's fun to like chill let the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Patreon members, man, they supported us for so long. It's
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: good to be able to have them come in and
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: play some games and yeah, yeah yeah. And this comment
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: comes from Justin B. Damn, that comic price was crazy.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I really was waiting for Aaron to say over every time,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: or say over every time the guys went higher that
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: one comic went stupid.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that was genuinely so much fun just watching
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: you guys lose your mind.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: It was crazy sense. It didn't make any sense. Oh,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hell, how how.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: It has to be something criminal? I have no idea
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: what or why? But like I took a look afterwards
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: and I was like, how much can I get that
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: comic for? For real?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Forty bucks?
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think people are just like gating the prices.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Something's fucking not right here.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: And I don't know whyfy W calls out a scam,
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: calls out eBay scam.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: There's like it's like a trafficking ring. There's like meth
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: inside the comics or something, I mean, cheap comics.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: It almost has to be because the money or anything.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: What would be the point of selling that to yourself?
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Like which I assume has to be because you paid
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: a ridiculous sum for it, Like either you are abjectly insane,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: you're demonstrably insane.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Which is possible, It's definitely a possibility.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: But I mean you like, eBay's cut has got to
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: be so big, yeah, Like it's got to be such
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: a good chunk of that money.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: And it's not exactly something they wouldn't notice either, not
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: at all.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: It's pretty crazy, and like I would think like federal
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: agencies would be all over any kind of money laundering
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: through an online especially a popular online store like eBay.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Like I I don't. I just don't know what the
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: hell happened there. But it was so much fun to
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: actually bring on the show that I had to. I
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: had to it. I just sat here just like just
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: just just smirking my ass off as you guys were
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: like what over and over again. Thanks Justin for your comment.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Much appreciate it, and hopefully we'll have more insane things
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: going on.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: We can only hope.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I promise I'm not deliberately gonna look for I I'm
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: gonna try to stick to things that are closer to
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: the value of what they probably should be, because otherwise
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: it's impossible.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: It's hard to figure out what the range unless you're
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: like we're starting here, and it's like even then, it's like, okay,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: say you still said higher and bill didn't matter, all right,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and that's it?
• 30:18

• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah? So the weather kind of started to get nice
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: out right? It did, and it was gorgeous. So we
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: were like, well, let's spend some time outside. So I
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: started to put my motorcycle battery back together into the bike,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: got it all cleaned up, made sure everything turned on,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I'm going to ride it
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: to work one morning. It's gonna be great. I'll be
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: all like jazzed up for breakfast. And then it was
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: thirty degrees and it was wet and gross, and I'm like,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna die this morning, so hop of my
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: cower and I'm like cool. So I go to work.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: But the day after that, I'm like, well, my car
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: needs work, so I had to drop it off like
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: overnight and stuff, and I'm like, well, now I'm forced
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: to get the bike out and get it really ready. Luckily,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: that next morning, when I got up at like when
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I left at like six am, it was already like
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: fifty eight degrees or some shit. It was horfect. So
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I rode my bike in the school, had a great day,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: and on the way home it was seventy man and
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I went home real quick, got into my other nicer gear,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and then drove to my little group thing hung out
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: with the guys at the bike out. We talked motorcycles
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: for like three hours. And then to continue the motorcycle
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: theme right now, I stopped over at the place yesterday
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: where I got my motorcycle, Stevens purchasing something nail. I
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: went in to get some new gloves because I needed
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: new gloves, and while I was there, I was talking
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: to our buddy who also sold me my bike, and
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: talking about something a little bit bigger. So I only
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: I started. I have a CF Moto. It's a three
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: hundred cc you know. It's a beginner bike pretty much,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: so I can get up to speed when need be. Yeah,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: but it's a naked bike, so it's not really like
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: a sport bike where you're hunched over all the time.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: You can kind of sit up right, but there's nothing
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to guard you. Really, he's hitting all the winds, hitting you.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: So I him and I were talking and we are
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: going with Now I think a Kawasaki Vulcan s it's
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: more of a cruiser, leather seats, you sit back a
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: little bit more more classic motorcycle. Okay, yeah, so I
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: think I might be getting that this this summer, hopefully spring.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping spring. Yeah, And he's like, you're gonna keep
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the other bike and I'm like, well, probably not, blah
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: blah blah. I'll get you a good trade in. I
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: was like all right. I told him Miles I had
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: on it, and he's like, yeah, you're gonna get a
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: really good deal. I'm like okay, because I didn't get
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: the ride too much last year, so it's nice. So yeah,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: motorcycle season's out. I'm like mad excited to hit the
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: road again.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Man, uh, where are you getting it from? Can we
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: shout it out?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Hebbler's Heck, yeah, this place is amazing.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been awesome, like throughout the entire process of
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: me looking, we're and something else too. But I don't
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: want to say yeah, okay, surprised, but yeah, no, the
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: place is amazing.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I am yeah. No. I I ran into them through work,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: like like they're they're a customer of my companies. That's awesome.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: So I I recently helped them out with a printer
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: problem they were having, and they were just really cool people.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: They were so laid back and genuinely a lot of
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: fun to work with. And then I got back to
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: my apartment that very same day and I saw a
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: friend of ours who lives in the same buildings. Yeah,
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: I do, Sir James and safely say, and his motorcycle
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: had a Hebler's on it and I was like, oh ship.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Literally the same day I look at that. Oh man.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: The apparently they're a really cool company in the western
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: New York area if you want to get like a motorbike.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Any recreational they do, they do. They do at wheelers,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: at vs, they do snowmobiles, they do everything that's cool.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, like I I all all the props to them.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Everything they took care because I didn't know what the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: hell was doing on I first bought the bike, bringing
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: in the cool. That's the good to know, man, you go,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: that's very cool. Yeah, that's that's been That's been nice.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I talked a little bit about the gaming at the
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: beginning with boulders Gate, which I am enjoying because I'm
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: actually getting further than I have been before. It's so
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: much fun. And we started a roost of nerds and
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: upstairs story so it's myself, Augie and Cybernetic Diabetic all
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: play in Bulger's Kate together, which has been a riot.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: It's been so much stupid fun. Man. That's great because
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me of like when we played
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: last time at your place, when we played our D
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: and D Sessions, because I'm I love our D and
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: D Sessions.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Man, I'm genuinely having a lot of fun. I am too.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: It's really cool. It's it's a lot of fun and
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the last time I fucking blast and being the storytellers.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: My only concern a little bit is that is that
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I wonder if feels a little restrained, like running through
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: this you know, already planned out and created.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: Yes, No, not restrained by the by the book itself,
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: more like restrained as trying not to throw too much
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: at you guys at once, and like ending the adventure
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: before it gets anywhere kind of thing.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Because we keep rushing into the areas where there's just
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: be a lot.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: Sometimes some people you rush in, Sometimes you don't rush
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: fast enough.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you heal the enemy.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: I mean sometimes he says thanks, loser and then runs away.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: That was a level one spell.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: There goes my level one slot. Glad I healed him.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: We've we've we've had some real boners in this entertaining
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: some absolute fails that genuinely made it just so much fun.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I want to get more into D and D.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I am about to start start storytelling again for our home,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: our house, one for downstairs, so we have reluctant Butter
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: and rest play. We have a homebrew one now that
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Butter storytells for us, which has been amazing. It's great.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: You created this entire world, not just like a map,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: like a world. Been nuts. But I'm gonna start storytelling
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a new one where they're all together and whatnot, and
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: eventually it comes to the point where they will have
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: free reign of their own dungeon and venturers come to
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: seal their stuff and raid them and stuff. So they're
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: actually not the monsters, but they are trying to defend
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: whatever they are there for or whatever. So has it started?
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I think maybe tonight we're doing the character creation nice
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: but yeah, dude, like and they're all cat people, They're
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: all cat Yeah, fantastic.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I can work with this.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: I it's work with this.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Oh man, that's great.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: I got two more quick things. I swear.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: I was just wanted to also because I've got a
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: It's not D and D. It's the Old Guard, the
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Old Gods of something or other. I can't remember the
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: name of it, but it's it's like a it's like
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: a real like eighteen hundreds, like Northeast, you know, Like
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: the beast is like a big, like glowy red eye
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: like moose or deer with these it's almost satanic looking horns.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Oh shit, yeah, it's it's it's real dark. Uh, it's
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: it's right up CJ's alley and that's why he's uh,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: he's dm ing it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Oh cool.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: But when we finished that one, I'm gonna do one,
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: and I'm so excited about it because I cannot wait.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: It is going to be a takeoff of Dimension twenties
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Never Stop Blowing Up, which is an action which is
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: like eighties and nineties action movie style tabletop role playing
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: game campaign, right, And I am so stoked. I am
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: such a huge fan of eighties and nineties action movies
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: and how over the top they are. And if it's
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: if it's anything even remotely close to the campaign that
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: they had on Dimension twenty this is going to be
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: so much fun, so much fun. I'm excited. But anyway,
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: when you when you mentioned I was like, oh so
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: when CJ finishes up. That's when I'm gonna start, yeah
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: you'telling too, and then if if, if it goes well,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna suggest maybe we could do something similar at
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: our table when Aggie decides.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: To yeah yeah, and speaking about Aggie and d and
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: do you we might as well jump in at least
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: for this part. Tell them what you're gonna be storytelling
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: for soon?
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: So oh boy, Yeah, so I'm going in on another campaign.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah wait, but so I've had this not yeah, I
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: guess it's technically an evil campaign. I had this undead
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: campaign kind of pocketed away for a while, and it's
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: like it's pretty extensive. I've got like the whole Kingdom
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: set out and everything like that, and a whole bunch
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: of other ship I'm still kind of piecing together, like
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: the names like I have, like I have, the characters
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: I have, like the setting I have, like the first
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: few things I would have the players do whatever. I
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: just don't have names anything, because that's the hardest part
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: for me, is deciding what am I gonna call this.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: It's fair, it's hard, but yeah, so they want to
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: they want me to do that for them. Soon.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: We got evil.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Characters and characters. Yeah, because we got the new Pathfinder books,

• 41:46
  Speaker 1: All right, somebody else.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: I just got one thing to throw in. Just it's
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: just something I realized that I probably should have mentioned
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: chef to Okay, last week I mentioned that I had started, uh, well,
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: dieting is kind of the right word. I've replaced half
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: my meals with salads. Yeah, that seemed to be the
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: way to do it to me. Was like, like, I
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: can't like do nothing but salads because I'll probably get sick.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: So I was like, I'm just gonna do half just
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: every day. Because I eat two meals a day. I
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: eat lunch and dinner, usually skip breakfast. But I think
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: even if I did do breakfast, I'd still be like
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: either lunch or dinner it's going to be a salad
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: every single day. I have not missed a day in
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: two weeks.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: That's awesome, man, good for you.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: And I wish I could say that I feel lighter
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: and better, but I really don't. I just feel like me.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: But but having said that, I'm still kind of proud
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: that I've made it this huge. I want to keep
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: doing this because I know it's important to get my
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: diet on track now that I'm older one hundred percent.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: We're all there, man, just in different ways.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So I just wanted to report on that and
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: just keep in the loop that I'm still going. I'm
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: still going strong.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, keep it up.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: I still have those weird after salad urbs which I
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: don't understand.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Front of the body. Now, Ship, we can do a
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: salad day one day. We do DN like, who come
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: over a bunch of options? I dude, I make salads
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: every day at work, like different types, and ship like,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I will notice the funk up on some stuff.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Just let me know because I always have to plan
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: my day. So you know, I'm gonna make sure I
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: get enough protein for lunch.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, you'll get protein in your dinner. You don't worry
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: oh boy, Yeah, I made my salors right. Oh yeah,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: all right, it's gonna be. It's a full fun.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe I can take it easier for lunch.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like you have a sandwich, or to have a
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: peanut buttered sandwich. Okay, because that's protein. That's good protein.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good sounding.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Oh okay. Last thing I totally forgot. We started with
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: this off break, but I acquire a computer from you,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Yes that you did, and holy this thing is fucking amazing.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to separate my gaming and what I
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: do on my PC from what I do with the
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: editing and all the other stuff for bf Y and
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I also want another machine for streaming when I I
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: have my off season. So I started streaming, and it's
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: a lot safer to do it that way, you have
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: another machine to stream for you.
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: So Aaron was kind enough to sell me a computer
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: he built, which is freaking insane and I love it. Yeah.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: It was my It was my backup so to speak.
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: PC.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: It was supposed to be my my emulation PC that
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: would just sit in my living room because my regular
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: PCs in my bedroom. But it would sit in my
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: living room if I just want to chill out and
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: play some old school games. It could play everything. It
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: had a rise In five twenty six hundred X. It
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: has sixteen gabytes of DAR for a RAM, and it
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: has a in Vidia GTX ten eighty graphic which was
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: expensive as hell when I bought it. It's probably still
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: worth a pretty penny now. But let's just say I
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: hadn't really looked into it. I was just like, this
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: thing's just sitting here. And I also have the MINIPC,
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: which is kind of is kind of as strong as this,
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: if not stronger, which is crazy. It didn't have the GPU,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: you know, the same power, but the chip in it
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: was pretty good. It's a Rising nine or seven eighty
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: seven forty five in the Mini PC, and it's got
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: the integrated graphics is seven to eighty m, which is
• 45:14

  Speaker 3: this thing is kind of pointless, has just been sitting here.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: So I took the big hard drive out of it.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: It was like a twelve gaabyte hard drive that I
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: added to it to put all the Xbox three, sixty
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: and PS three games on it, and I just took
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: that out and I was like, well, now it's just
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: sitting here taking up space. I wonder if somebody could
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: use it. And I was like, ah, I'm just kind
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: of selling this PC. And I mentioned it's Stevie one

• 47:04
  Speaker 3: All right, I feel like we've taken another good chunky Sorry,
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: let's go to it. No, it's okay. We both wanted
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: to talk about things, but we've left Augie out. We
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: should we should correct that, So we're gonna go to
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: a quick break when we come back. Augie's gonna also
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: he's been up to right after.
• 47:18
  Speaker 10: This, Hey Jeff, what are we doing?
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: Why are you whispering?
• 47:30
  Speaker 11: Because all of our devices are constantly listening to us.
• 47:32
  Speaker 11: Unless we take massive efforts to protect our online privacy,
• 47:36
  Speaker 11: all the details of our lives will be in the
• 47:37
  Speaker 11: hands of mega corporations.
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: Okay, sure, but this is the promo for our podcast.
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: We need people to be able to hear us this time.
• 47:45
  Speaker 10: Why do we need a promo?
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: Oh funny you should ask. We're now members of the
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: Odd Pods Media Network.
• 47:50
  Speaker 11: Are they one of those global conglomerates.
• 47:52
  Speaker 7: No, they're just a really awesome podcast network full of
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: great shows like ours.
• 47:56
  Speaker 11: Well, is there anything specific we need to say?
• 47:59
  Speaker 7: We should probably what our podcast is about.
• 48:01
  Speaker 11: Oh, it's about how the algorithm shapes our lives and
• 48:04
  Speaker 11: how tech companies profit off our personal information. We dabble
• 48:07
  Speaker 11: in tech conspiracy theories and talk about how billionaires are
• 48:10
  Speaker 11: all buttholes.
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: I don't think we should say buttholes in.
• 48:13
  Speaker 11: The promo, but we already did twice.
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: Join us every other Monday for new episodes of Suggested
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: Articles a podcast.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Hey man, welcome back. It's time for part three, and
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: this is gonna be all about Augie. Yeah, what up,
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Sun's up? What you've been up too lately? What you've
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: been in the middle of What has got your fancy? Yeah?
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: So, as I mentioned before, I've been playing a lot
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: of Monster Hunter. Yes, I'm jumping back and forth between
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: World and Rise. It's kind of funny because they consider
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: Rise the easiest in the series that I found it
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: to be more difficult. Maybe it's just maybe it's again,
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: it could just be in the controls a little bit
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: different because they are a little bit more original in controls.
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: World was definitely more built for a Western audience. It
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: was definitely meant to attract the West, essentially to this
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: famously Japanese game, to widen that audience, bring more fans
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: into the fold kind of thing. And then Rise was
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: kind of like that, Okay, and this is what it's
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: kind of really like. But it's also still supposedly easier
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: than so that way you can kind of ease into
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: the controls. And there's a newly announced and newly released one,
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: Wilds that just came out, and yeah, that's that's interesting.
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: I haven't looked at.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: It at all.
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: All I know is, well, I say I haven't looked
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: at it. All as I proceed to tell you what's
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: in it. There is a monster that has an attack
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: that basically shifts in your face. I wish I was kidding.
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: I don't think I'm gonna play that one with you,
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: as it's got fans tell you let's see here and rise.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: You got a thing called a palamute, which was a
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: dog that you could basically ride but also help fight
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: the monster like a mallemute. It's a palute like a calico.
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: But what it's called a but And I don't actually
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: know the names of these things because I never bothered
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: to look that up. But the fact is in Wilds
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: you ride around on chocobos. I again wish I was lying.
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: But if you look at them, they at a glance
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: they look like jocobos. They're not legally distinct.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: Don't want Capcom and Square Reading Square off against each other.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: They're they're not.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Very soon. The old people are.
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: Fighting for life again.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: This is a vision after each other. That's all the
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: corporations will die.
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: But yeah, so that's that's fun. Also, everybody like really
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: loves the Blacksmith and that one apparently she's super hot.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that.
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: Is what it is other than that. Again, I also
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: mentioned previously that I've been working on other campaigns, obviously
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: working on the one we're playing, trying to make it
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: as entertaining as possible. Honestly, I don't have to do much.
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: You guys sem a really good job of entertaining yourselves.
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: It's fun at you occasionally, and then you just find
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: a way to direction. You find a way to make
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: it go off the rails when it doesn't need to
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: go off the rails. Yeah, but you've also done really
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: fucking well. I'll be honest, I'm excited to get to
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: the nitty gritty in it. And then of course the
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: other campaign that I'm also working on that I've actually
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: been writing notes on that.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: I've been popping in my head.
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: I'm interested in looking at cause it's it's something that
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: I never really did, except I have to a certain degree.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: My very first DM experience was with you and Butter.
• 52:15
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and I did like a World of war that
• 52:18
  Speaker 12: was basically they had like the stats and anything like that,
• 52:21
  Speaker 12: like somebody already put everything together. I just had to
• 52:24
  Speaker 12: read up on it, and I'm like, okay, So I
• 52:26
  Speaker 12: had them basically play through World of Warcraft but Butter
• 52:30
  Speaker 12: being Butter, He's like, I don't want to play a
• 52:32
  Speaker 12: normal race.
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: I want to play one of the monster races. So
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: he's like naga. So that was my first experience playing
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: with monster races, and I never really did it again
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: since then. So for this one campaign, I'm like, At first,
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: I'm like, Okay, yeah, undead, that's fine whatever, because there's
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: with Pathfinder. They have the stats for it, which is
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: kind of cool. Yeah, but I'm like, Okay, no vampires,
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: and then I'm like, you know what, fucking do vampires.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: I don't give a shit.
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: I don't care how broke it gets because it's meant
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: to it's meant to be fun. But I'm excited to
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: do that one just because it actually has a tie
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: into another campaign that I wanted to do that we
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: started but haven't gotten back to, which is star Finders.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, and that fun.
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: And by the way, star Finder I have two separate
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: things for it, because the idea was I was going
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: to have two different parties. One my one friends were
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: gonna play, and then I was gonna find four others
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: to play the other one. I literally had two separate
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: campaigns set up and the first one was the revolution
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: and the second one was called to be televised, and
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: they were going to be one was going to be
• 53:43
  Speaker 5: following like the rebels I had kind of set up
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: and the kind of like the the outskirts and like
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: the actual like normal like average living people, and the
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: other one was going to follow the like the corporation
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: like empires that are basically controlling everything kind of thing.
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: They're going to basically be in the same world, but
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: they were going to be doing two separate things.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: Was it going to be the same players for each.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Two different groups? Two different groups they're playing different days.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: It was gonna be.
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: Different days, and like another day I was going to
• 54:19
  Speaker 5: do another.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: Do the campaigns influence each other at all?
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they were going to indirectly influence each other. You
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: were never going to directly run into each other.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: But they wouldn't know what had happened with the other team.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: No, Well, they result.
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: All you hear is the results. So say, if like,
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: for instance, if your team was the one that was
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: working with the corporations or working alongside them, were just
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: working for them for one reason or another or whatever
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: whatever justification it would be, you would hear about if
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: the rebel group is like, hey, they just blew up
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: this corporation's like checkpointer or whatever. You wouldn't be there
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: to interfere. You wouldn't be there to anything about it,
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: but you would hear about it, and maybe it affects
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: something like maybe you hear about now the corporations are
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: looking for people to kind of help with moving this stuff,
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: like certain supply through this area now because now it's
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: less safe because the other team made it less safe
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: for the corporations, and vice versa. This corporation has come
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: in and strong arming these people and they're being you
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: know whatever.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: What would they would never meet up, what would not
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: even at the very end of session, So what would.
• 55:32
  Speaker 7: The end game have been?
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: The end game would have been, Yeah, I was working
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: on that.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say yeah, because but I never.
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: Got But it never went anywhere because I never found
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: this one. I never found a second party because they
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: were all busy and some like real life bad stuff happened,
• 55:49
  Speaker 5: so we couldn't go together and not like not any
• 55:52
  Speaker 5: animosity ship between us, but like people got some kind
• 55:56
  Speaker 5: of thing help. Yeah, and the other party something started
• 56:01
  Speaker 5: with Steve and Butter, But then we only did like
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: one small uh session, and then we never got back
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: to it because then we pivoted to.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Because that's a really interesting idea. I personally would have
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: wanted them to meet up.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: At some point, have had like one like giant table.
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: Like it wasn't everybody said so like it could have.
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: It could have ended that way. But the most part
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: it is it.
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: Is a cool idea. It's ambitious as fuck.
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: Well it was gonna be like once one because my
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: one set of friends would have wanted to played once
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: a month and my other set of friends would have
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: wanted to play like once a month. So I'm like, okay,
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: I just choose two different days. Yeah yeah, be perfect,
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: and I get to play D and D twice.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: Hell yeah, win win.
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: But not with this one. This one's what one group.
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: So just much simpler, keep it keep it down to
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: earth fair fair anything else.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: Not really.
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: I mean the season is changing, despite getting warm and
• 57:03
  Speaker 5: then cold right now, hopefully warm again after this week.
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: So I'm just waiting my years of the ground, waiting
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: for my work season to start, and then I'll be
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: doing mostly that for the summer.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be fun to reach out of the house
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: and outside.
• 57:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, nice, right, yeah, all right, well yeah that
• 57:24
  Speaker 6: is pretty much that.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: So thank you so much for listening, guys. I hope
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: you enjoyed our our chill episode as much as we
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: enjoyed just hanging out and chilling and just gabbing at
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: each other about all the cool stuff we're up to. Uh.
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: And there's a lot of cool stuff apparently coming up.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: Not to mention, I should mention Rayka came out last week.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: Didn't even really say anything about it. It's too early
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: to say whether it's a massive success. But I mean
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: the Amazon sales charts looks actually pretty good.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: That's good. So we're the locations to get it with
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: what should people do to get it?
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: Amazon on dot Com, Burnes and Noble has got it.
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: You can also go to pretty much any other online bookstore.
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: You'll probably find it there. If you want to save
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: a little money, you can probably get it at thrift books.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: And I still get paid, so you know, it's not
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: a big deal. But yeah, it's there's a bunch of
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: places you can get it. It's called Raika R E
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: K H A and The Inevitability of Life. Uh, and
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: it's available wherever fine books are sold. Currently in physical
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: and ebook only. Audiobook is a thing of the future,
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: which hopefully I will get around to finding a way
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: to do both inexpensively and make it pretty good at
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: the same time. Yes, we'll see about that. It's gonna
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: depend on a lot of things, mostly the lottery paying out.
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: But these things are expensive and I don't want to
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: do another Kickstarter, God help me. It's it's too much
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: literally in any event. So that's that's available, so please
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: check it out see if it's your but you know
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: your thing and the physical book is seventeen ninety nine
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: and the e book is four ninety nine and Thane
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: the e book has dropped two two ninety nine as well,
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: so just to you know, kind of invite readers to
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: get into it, and then maybe you decide to pick
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: up Rake along the way.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: So yeah, all good stuff in the book world. Only
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: had a couple of reviews come in, but so far
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: they've been stellar, which is awesome. I'm happy to see that,
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: and I want more. So if you have read Raka

  Speaker 3: Please feel free to leave an honest review somewhere because
• 59:48
