Transcript
- 0:25Hello everybody, welcome back to the Boss Force podcast, a great
- 0:27place to play games and be better.
- 0:28I'm one of your host, Corey Derry, and alongside me, as
- 0:30always, is my AI support bot, the Ron Dawkins.
- 0:39I'm just kidding. PC Bustle race all.
- 0:41Your all your base are belong to us.
- 0:44I mean, OK. What's bopping?
- 0:48Hi, Lauren. What's bopping?
- 0:50How we doing? I don't know man, I'm very
- 0:52confused at the moment. Well, I mean, you know, you
- 0:56keep, you keep training AI bot LLMS, you know, like, yeah.
- 1:01And you know, they, they look like they should be in the next
- 1:03Austin Powers movie. So yeah, like, yeah, I I
- 1:07understand why you're confused. I mean, look man, if you have to
- 1:11stare at something for 10 to 12 hours a day, do you want it to
- 1:15be? Are you?
- 1:16Are you required to stare at it? It's in the 12 hours a day.
- 1:20It will be around. You could have made it a funny
- 1:26talking cat or something. Geez.
- 1:28It's got to be a person it's supposed to be have a human
- 1:32element to it or on it doesn't matter.
- 1:34Also here with a human element is PK Power Pack line.
- 1:38Wow, he just said damn. I I have been diving down this
- 1:43this AI rabbit hole about whether or not it's conscious,
- 1:47able to reset an AI or. Something please AI death,
- 1:51please stop. I mean, he's trying to get on
- 1:56their side so when they murder all of us, he gets to stay
- 1:58alive. Listen, listen, I've already,
- 2:01I've already, I've already consigned myself just becoming a
- 2:03living human battery and like and like floating like, you
- 2:06know, like, like still a con fluid.
- 2:08You know, I've already, I've already consigned myself to
- 2:11that. They're all going to be in the
- 2:14matrix soon. I know you said you couldn't
- 2:16have a cat, but could you have a cat girl?
- 2:21That way? It kind of is human, but it's a
- 2:23cat. I don't know, I I I didn't try.
- 2:28I'm not into into cat women. So me.
- 2:34Wow. But you know, in all
- 2:37seriousness, I am just very, I don't know, man.
- 2:46I don't know how to feel about all this.
- 2:48AI is weird. So that's all I have to say for
- 2:53now, I guess. But you know, it's not weird us
- 2:58this podcast. You know what else is not weird?
- 3:02Video games. What are we playing?
- 3:05Pat, I never start with you. So you know what I never do?
- 3:11I'm going to start with the rotten.
- 3:12I'm just, I'm Pat. What are you playing?
- 3:15What am I playing? Yeah, I.
- 3:17What a jerk. I beaten Platinum Ghost of Yotai
- 3:20the other day. Oh.
- 3:22How long? About just over 55 hours.
- 3:28Oh. Yeah, and it was freaking
- 3:32amazing. That story was top notch.
- 3:36Nice. Beautiful game, highly
- 3:39recommended. People should go play it if you
- 3:41have a PlayStation 5. How do?
- 3:44You feel about it being another revenge story technically.
- 3:49I mean, like, I feel like a lot of people are complaining about
- 3:51that online for some reason. I mean, I don't know how else
- 3:57you would present a story like this.
- 4:01And it it does come very close out the heels of Assassin's
- 4:07Creed Shadows, which is like the exact same type of story.
- 4:12But I feel that Sucker Punch did a good job with this story.
- 4:17Like yes, it's starts off about a girl that is seeking revenge
- 4:23against this group that murdered her family.
- 4:26But like then there are events that happened that are like
- 4:31conflicting against this initial goal.
- 4:34And so it's, I feel like yes, it's a revenge story, but it's
- 4:40not as dark as like The Last of Us 2 was it there There feels
- 4:45like there's elements of like, well, have you ever really
- 4:49thought about not getting revenge or.
- 4:53Like trying so it's not torture porn like Last of Us Part 2 was.
- 4:58Yeah, no, it's not like Atsu is a very conflicted person
- 5:04throughout the game. And I think that's one thing I
- 5:09really love about her versus Jin is like, you can Jin had his
- 5:13conflicts, but Atsu, you can see it like in her dialogue, in her
- 5:20actions, just like just had to hold on to that last sliver of
- 5:26humanity without completely losing herself and becoming, you
- 5:30know, is she Atsu or is she the ghost, the Anu?
- 5:36So it's it's a very well told story.
- 5:40Nice. Cool.
- 5:42Yeah, I. Oh, go ahead.
- 5:45Sorry. I've been like seeing a lot of
- 5:48things online about it and I kind of want to give it a shot.
- 5:52But did I tell? Did I say this on this podcast?
- 5:57I don't remember if I did or not.
- 5:58I got rid of my PlayStation 5 because it was dying for the 6th
- 6:01time. Yeah, you, I think.
- 6:04I think that was the week Todd was on.
- 6:06Yeah. And then that's when, and then
- 6:08that's when he and I basically ganged up on you about like
- 6:11getting, just getting a gaming PC and calling it a day.
- 6:13Like you like you have a, you have a switch like you've,
- 6:16you've basically, you've basically done what every like
- 6:19dedicated Xbox gamers done, you know, like crawled into a hole
- 6:21and cried, you know, so. Yeah, I.
- 6:24Get on it. That that makes me sad.
- 6:27I don't know what to do about it.
- 6:29It's fine. By the way, by the way, the Xbox
- 6:33Rock Ally is not an Xbox. I yeah, I know.
- 6:37I'm aware. It's so funny.
- 6:39Did you hear the first thing they said on Good Morning
- 6:41America the other day? No.
- 6:42Well, what'd they say? It's an Xbox handheld that plays
- 6:46all of your Xbox games. And they already lied right
- 6:49there. No, that's what the Good Morning
- 6:52America host said. Yeah, which means they.
- 6:54And then they didn't correct her.
- 6:59I'm like, Oh my gosh, you guys are.
- 7:03They're not, they're not going to correct her.
- 7:04As a matter of fact, I'm going to tell you right now a lot of a
- 7:06lot of a lot of if you're seeing a lot of overly positive reviews
- 7:10on on YouTube and video and other video content channels,
- 7:13it's because they got, they got promo copies of it and you know,
- 7:16like they, they want to make sure they continue getting promo
- 7:18copies of it, you know. I actually listened to the kind
- 7:22of Funny Games cast, and I think it was Andy.
- 7:26I don't think it was Andy Cortez.
- 7:28He did not like, even though he got the, you know, experience
- 7:32that he did not like the system at all.
- 7:34Yeah, well, it's, it's got, it's got its flaws.
- 7:38Like I don't like, I don't have one of the systems.
- 7:40Like I, I really thought about spending 1000 bucks and getting
- 7:43the system, but, but by the time I looked at what the actual CPU
- 7:47was capable of doing, I was like it this is not even this, this
- 7:51is not an uplift. This is more of a refresh for
- 7:53the existing ROG Ally or the ROG Ally X Yeah.
- 7:57So that was basically what sensitive for me.
- 7:59I'm like, you know what? I already spent $800.00 for the
- 8:01ROG Ally and I spent $600.00 for the for the for the for the, for
- 8:05the ROG Ally X $800 and I spent $600.00 for the wrong Ally.
- 8:09So you know, Asus has got my money for now until like we
- 8:12actually get a generational leap.
- 8:15Yeah, they are enough. It's weird though, because they
- 8:18did, they did, they did say something really strange on
- 8:22Twitter today that like, I don't even know how this is possible,
- 8:28but they were like, I I need to go find the exact tweet video
- 8:33and send it to you, Laurent. But basically they said like
- 8:37first of all they blamed Asus for the $1000 price tag, second
- 8:42of all they said that this the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X are the
- 8:52prototypes for what Xbox wants to do next generation.
- 8:57But then they said that they will also have a dedicated
- 8:59console but is being prototyped through the ROG Ally.
- 9:05I'm like, I don't what are you talking about?
- 9:07Once again, once again, they have a communications problem.
- 9:11Jeez. Jeez, like.
- 9:14It's like, can you just tell me making a console or not?
- 9:17Jesus Christ. It's like.
- 9:19'Cause they don't know. It's like they're talking about
- 9:21both sides of the mouth while, you know, like the left hand and
- 9:24the right hand. Oh the the while the left hand
- 9:26is writing stuff down, the right hand is literally slapping
- 9:28itself, slapping them in the face.
- 9:31I mean, it's just. Boy, boy, boy, boy.
- 9:38It's very frustrating. Yeah, yeah.
- 9:41But I know this though, like all of a sudden, like the original
- 9:45rogue allies become like, you know, like a like like a hot
- 9:47commodity. And no, I'm not selling mine
- 9:50now. It's I don't know I saw one I
- 9:54saw the Z1 extreme one for as low as like 350 bucks the other
- 9:58day like the original 1 la Ron's gone poof he's gone.
- 10:07I scared him away. He.
- 10:08Spoke bad and the Microsoft gods have banned him.
- 10:12Yes, they did. Hey, look, La Ron's been
- 10:14attitude the studio. Hi, La Ron.
- 10:18Sometimes, yeah. I don't know.
- 10:20What's McCall? It.
- 10:21And yeah, I know, I know there's something going on with my, with
- 10:23my, with my microphone there. Hopefully I fixed it.
- 10:28Yeah, it's fine. I hear you anyways, just.
- 10:34Remember Corey, Just remember Corey.
- 10:36There's going to be multiple videos for my for my feed now,
- 10:39Just remember. I mean, look, whatever whatever
- 10:42you want to, you know, put a video on there on that's it's up
- 10:47to you. So is that it, Pat?
- 10:53You doing anything else playing anything else?
- 10:55Yeah, I. Picked up the Pokémon Legends ZA
- 10:58game. Oh yeah?
- 10:59How's that? You said it Just like Nintendo
- 11:01does. Look at you.
- 11:03That's. I know, I don't know why people
- 11:05I've always called it ZA. I don't know why people are
- 11:08calling it ZA. No, the the way that Nintendo
- 11:11says the title of game game. Oh, oh, the Pokémon.
- 11:18Yeah, well, I didn't want to talk about another Pokémon game.
- 11:21I want to talk about the Pokémon Legends ZA.
- 11:25It's Nintendo's weird, man. Yeah, but yeah, this game is,
- 11:32you know what? This is a game that went in the
- 11:35right direction for a Pokémon game.
- 11:38It's a lot of fun. I was a little bit worried
- 11:42because it all takes place in one city and Legends kind of had
- 11:49a hit or miss going on with like how they they formatted their
- 11:54game. But I, I feel like they took the
- 11:56good stuff from Legends, continued it with Legends ZA and
- 12:02like incorporated more the mainline Pokémon into this game.
- 12:08So what what I mean by that is the battles take place.
- 12:13It's it's now more of an action based battle system with
- 12:17cooldowns for your moves. So kind of like Xenoblade
- 12:20Chronicles. That's why a lot of people kind
- 12:23of refer to the Pokémon Legends ZA as Pokémon Xenoblade, but it
- 12:30it has cooled down. So you you can assign different
- 12:33moves to your Pokémon. You hold down the shoulder
- 12:35button and you give your Pokémon commands.
- 12:38And what's cool is that these moves will either give make them
- 12:41go forward closer to your opponent or back up from the
- 12:45opponent. So there's a little bit of
- 12:47strategic maneuvering such as moving around.
- 12:51So if an opponent has like a long wind up for his move, you
- 12:56can essentially dodge that move by just moving out the way.
- 13:01Several enemies have done that with some of my long winded
- 13:04moves and it's like, what the hell?
- 13:07So I started doing that back to them.
- 13:08And you know what? It's a good feeling taking the
- 13:11system and turning it around. Nice.
- 13:16Other cool things about this is that you don't necessarily need
- 13:19to weaken a Pokémon to capture them.
- 13:24Several weaker Pokémon you can just throw a pokeball and catch
- 13:27them off guard if you hit them from like behind without them
- 13:31noticing that you're there, and that raises your chances of
- 13:34capturing. Also, when you beat a Pokémon in
- 13:38battle, then the game gives you a chance to capture that Pokémon
- 13:42rather than try to weaken it with like without trying to kill
- 13:47it. So these these are some definite
- 13:51welcome improvements, I feel to the Pokémon formula.
- 13:55Nice in terms of the story. I'm also really enjoying that
- 13:59too. Like it's it's surprisingly good
- 14:03cast of characters that mesh very well with each other and
- 14:09they kind of show up at times where they feel like they should
- 14:11show up instead of just that random chance of you wandering
- 14:14around like the world and be like, oh, hey, here's your
- 14:18rival. Or here's this other person that
- 14:20you met, you know, on the other side of the world who just
- 14:22happens to be where you are. You know what else is like
- 14:30really good about this game? The the gameplay loop is a lot
- 14:37of fun as well. You're taking place in a
- 14:39tournament called the ZA tournament, which is to bring
- 14:43like trying train or see who's like the best there is in the
- 14:47town that this corporation's trying to seek out this the best
- 14:52of trainers. And so you start at rank Z and
- 14:55you have to work your way up through A and what they do is at
- 15:00night time, these places called battle zones open up in the city
- 15:04and you can run in and you just beat trainers who are also
- 15:08trying to advance their rank in these battle zones.
- 15:11They are the standard kind of Pokémon battles.
- 15:13Although because it has that more open system going on, you
- 15:17can actually sneak attack and use like sneak attacks to your
- 15:21advantage. So if you catch a poke like the
- 15:24best, what you do is you have to wait for the trainer to be
- 15:27looking away from you. Their Pokémon might be able to
- 15:30see you and if they see you long enough the Pokémon will make
- 15:34noise and alert their trainer. Otherwise you'd send your
- 15:37Pokémon to quickly attack their Pokémon landing a sneak attack
- 15:42which then allows you to re attack immediately without
- 15:45having to having to wait for a cool down.
- 15:49So there's now a strategic element of like sneaking up
- 15:52instead of just locking eyes with the bat with the trainer.
- 15:57Nice. And then to move up your rank,
- 16:00you have a certain, you have a rank up match where they match
- 16:04you with someone else. And this would probably be kind
- 16:06of like the equivalent of a gym leader in the prior games,
- 16:11except for they may or may not have a certain theme of Pokémon.
- 16:15They just have Pokémon, they're a little bit stronger and have a
- 16:17little more of a story purpose to those battles.
- 16:22And then the really cool part, really cool battle aspect of the
- 16:25game is battling the rogue Mega evolved Pokémon.
- 16:30These are Pokémon without a trainer that somehow evolve into
- 16:34their mega form and it is like essentially a boss battle.
- 16:39They have their own arena. You need to run away because
- 16:43they will be attacking you as well as your Pokémon and you
- 16:47have to kind of like attack them so that they drop these energy
- 16:51orbs so that you can charge up your mega evolution ability.
- 16:56And then once, once you're fully charged, you unleash that mega
- 16:59evolve your Pokémon and then send them after, send them after
- 17:04the rogue Mega Pokémon because that is the only kind of attack
- 17:08that's going to hurt them like severely is attacks from another
- 17:12mega evolved Pokémon. So yeah, I, I feel like it's
- 17:17really switched up. It's a lot more faster pace.
- 17:21There's is a ton of side quests in this game and they don't feel
- 17:27like chores at all. Like they're pretty simple to
- 17:29beat, but they have like cool little stories going on.
- 17:33And then there's just the dialogue that the random NPCS
- 17:37have are just like you can tell the person who created the
- 17:41dialogue here is might have been a very unhinged person.
- 17:44They will start saying very weird things like if I'm
- 17:47stressed out that what I like to do is I like to give my
- 17:50partner's poker ball a squeeze. Jeez.
- 17:55Yeah, that that that's an actual line from from the game.
- 18:00And then there's another guy who's who was like talking about
- 18:05when a Pokémon when a water Pokémon uses a move like what
- 18:10bodily fluid are they using? Oh.
- 18:13Geez, this is Nah. Pokémon's getting weird, guys.
- 18:20There there's some weird dialogue choices going on in
- 18:23this game, but it's, it's, it's been a lot of fun.
- 18:30So I'm, I'm glad that game freak decided to cook a little bit on
- 18:36this game because I feel this is what Pokémon needed.
- 18:40It feels refreshing. It it was nice now to like kind
- 18:46of build up that weight and then anticipation to get a new
- 18:50Pokémon game. Even though it's not a mainline,
- 18:52it does feel very much like a Pokémon game.
- 18:57Do you think it's going to do you think the mainline game
- 19:00should take this, some of this stuff, like some of this
- 19:04approach? I would personally say yes, at
- 19:10least refresh the battle system in this regard because ZA the
- 19:15Legends more active based battle system I feel is a heck of a lot
- 19:19faster and easier to work with than the turn based battle
- 19:23systems of the games of old. And just the fact that you can
- 19:27capture them after you beat them instead of like trying to keep
- 19:31them alive or using status effects to weaken them with fear
- 19:35that you're going to kill them off.
- 19:39I I, I feel like it's just a nicer approach to the game.
- 19:44Cool. Other than that, I picked up
- 19:47Toge's recent, recent game that they released called Undusted
- 19:51Letters from a Past where it's a simple cleaning, a cozy game
- 19:55where you clean these. You play as this girl who is
- 20:00gone back to her old home after her mother has passed away and
- 20:04is finding these old items that she that they're very dusty and
- 20:09so you have to clean them. So that's kind of the purpose of
- 20:13the game is you just clean them using sponges, toothbrushes,
- 20:17claws, depending on whatever. Kind of mechanic or whatever
- 20:21mechanic is needed to be done with it like cloth works good on
- 20:25glass sponges get most bitten like a bigger area, but it's not
- 20:30as clean as in detailed as a toothbrush does.
- 20:35And as you're going through this, you're kind of learning
- 20:37the story about this girl and her relationship with her family
- 20:41and kind of an event that might have caused a rift between them.
- 20:46And it's, it's very touching. It only took me two hours to
- 20:50beat, but it was it was a very nice game.
- 20:54Nice. Very cozy and I think it's only
- 20:56like 10 bucks on the shop. Nice.
- 21:01And then finally show and tell, I got my Trails into the Sky
- 21:07steelbook, this thing that took over a month to make because
- 21:13they literally got the supplies when the game came out and it
- 21:17held off me getting that game for a while.
- 21:20And I also got big old books The Definitive Book of SNESRPGS
- 21:32volume 1 which. Covers Arca.
- 21:36Yep, Kefka and Lavos is on the bottom and I'm.
- 21:39Not OK. I didn't.
- 21:40I didn't recognize Lavos. Yeah, OK.
- 21:41Yeah, Yep. Yeah, this get this gigantic
- 21:46book covers games A through K and they're going to be
- 21:50releasing a second volumes which will cover L through Z or L
- 21:55through Y because the last game is ease and also from the same
- 22:00company Bitmap Books. I got a guide to Japanese
- 22:05role-playing games also. Nice.
- 22:08And yeah. A very gigantic book, but this
- 22:15one has more recent like ranging from old 8 bit RPGs to the more
- 22:20recent like Persona 5 and stuff like that.
- 22:24So yeah. Nice.
- 22:28Reading material. Also very heavy reading
- 22:31material. Yeah.
- 22:35It's cool, though. Oh yeah, they're.
- 22:38They are neat. I'm still I'm still waiting on
- 22:42the Expedition 33 art book to be announced for the West even
- 22:47though they said they were going to announce it soon like 2
- 22:49months ago. Watch as they just shadow drop
- 22:53it. It's out now.
- 22:55I know the the page is up on Amazon, but it's been up for a
- 23:00while. Who's to say?
- 23:07Who's to say where are you playing?
- 23:10Anyways, yeah. His name was last week.
- 23:16So Final Fantasy tactics leave at least chronicles still, just
- 23:20still just on the grind. So I haven't really done much on
- 23:22on story progression because like I, I I definitely want to
- 23:27get characters to a certain to a certain level.
- 23:30Well, not to a certain level to like their job classes to
- 23:33certain like to have like them learn certain things in job
- 23:36classes and stuff like that. As I get into the second-half of
- 23:39chapter 2, because like there's a, there's a halfway point for
- 23:42chapter 2 that, you know, I'm not going to spoil that for
- 23:45anyone that's currently playing the game right now, but there's
- 23:46a halfway point that I know about where basically everything
- 23:51turns around, you know, and it's just one of those situations
- 23:54where I was like, you know what, I want to make sure that I,
- 23:56that, you know, like I have all the job classes that I want, you
- 23:59know, so, so yeah, like I'm, I'm concentrating on, on the monk
- 24:02and the thief skills right now, as well as Geomancer and
- 24:08Geomancer and, and of course, like the black mages, you know,
- 24:11just trying to get, just trying to get multiple characters like,
- 24:14you know, into those, into those spheres.
- 24:16So, you know, so the skill tree like opens up a little bit
- 24:19easier for me. No, I'm not, I'm not working on
- 24:23Summoner yet. The only reason why, the only
- 24:27reason why is 'cause I feel like working on Summoner.
- 24:29I can I, you know, like I, it'll actually like take some of the
- 24:32fun out of the game for me at at this stage.
- 24:34So like, I have not started. I've got the Summoner tree open
- 24:38but I'd rather like go to some classes like Dragoon, you know
- 24:41first. Yeah.
- 24:43Yeah. And then Corey said yeah, like
- 24:46he knew exactly what I was talking about.
- 24:47I do. You do shut up.
- 24:50No, I was trying to be. I was trying to be a participant
- 24:53in the conversation. Well, it's cool.
- 24:55Hey, hey, you kept up pretty well though.
- 24:57I'll I'll give you that you. Kept.
- 24:59Yeah, dude. Yeah, I'm playing, playing some
- 25:03Tekken 8, like I finally slowed down playing Victor.
- 25:06You know, I've only been playing Victor since like Tekken 8 came
- 25:09out, you know, slowed down playing him.
- 25:11And I've actually gone back to one of my, to a couple of my
- 25:13older characters, Oscar, Anna and Armour King.
- 25:17It's funny. They all their, their names all
- 25:19start with as, but you know, like, yeah, that's kind of what
- 25:21that's kind of what I'm doing. So just just playing around
- 25:23Tekken right now. Like I'm not, I'm not doing rank
- 25:25matches because like, because like I need to deprogram myself
- 25:28from playing with Victor, meaning that, you know,
- 25:30sometimes I'll be playing for character and I'll start doing
- 25:33combos that, you know, Victor would do, but those, those moves
- 25:37don't even work for the characters.
- 25:38So, you know, yeah, I've got, I need to like, I need to like
- 25:40deprogram my brain, you know, so, so yeah.
- 25:43So those are. Going back to Final Fantasy
- 25:46Tactics, how does the voice acting change up the game?
- 25:49Like, does it feel like you're playing something new?
- 25:52It makes, for me, it makes it very immersive.
- 25:54It makes it very immersive. You know, like, yeah, like, you
- 25:56know, for all the past 30 years playing Final Fantasy Tactics
- 26:00with no voice acting and stuff like that, you know, like, we
- 26:02kind of had like our own idea of how these voices sound and stuff
- 26:04like that. But you know, I like it with the
- 26:08voice acting, you know, and yeah, there are certain times
- 26:11when it's only like, it's only like the main, main characters
- 26:14that you know, like for example, like when you're casting spells,
- 26:16are you doing, are you doing, are you doing special attacks or
- 26:19what not? It's only the main, main
- 26:20characters. So like so, so Ramsa, Agrius,
- 26:23Gafgarian, you know, those people, you know, are will
- 26:27actually say something when a bubble pops up.
- 26:29Everybody else they kind of depending on depending on the
- 26:32the skill they're using and what not, you know, like, for
- 26:35example, any chemist, like, you know, when you're trying to heal
- 26:37somebody, they'll be like they'll say something basically
- 26:40like here, you know, like you're like here, you need this or
- 26:43something like that. They'll say that, but you know,
- 26:45there's no voice bubble. So like it's in the moment, it's
- 26:47in the moment. It's one and done.
- 26:49Characters will thank each other, you know, in the moment
- 26:51and stuff like that. So it so it, it, it's immersive.
- 26:54Like, you know, like it's little it, it literally makes tactics
- 26:57one of those games. Are you blinking?
- 26:58You miss now you know which I I kind of like, you know, because.
- 27:02Yeah, like it's got, it's got a very, very nice fresh coat of
- 27:06paint on it and you know, like the wax set it has set in, so it
- 27:10looks really shiny. And that's the enhanced mode.
- 27:13Like you can go back and you can go and play like the original
- 27:16mode, which no voice acting. The sprites are, the sprites are
- 27:20PS1 style sprites, you know, and stuff like that, you know, So,
- 27:24yeah, there's going to be said about both modes.
- 27:26Like there was, I, I played Tactics so, so much though that
- 27:29I, I knew I was going to jump into the enhanced mode.
- 27:31Like I, I want the voice acting because like, I feel like, I
- 27:34feel like RPGs, especially RPGs of the era that, that Final
- 27:38Fantasy Tactics came from, like they need voice acting.
- 27:41You know, they, they need it, you know, or, or at least some
- 27:44type of spoken dialogue, you know, like if, if the, if the
- 27:46dialogue's not being done, you know, during the battles or
- 27:49whatnot they should be doing be done in the cut scenes, you
- 27:51know, you know, it should not be like, you know, basically when
- 27:55we're moving from one act to the next, finally we hear like some
- 27:57narrative and then you know, like we don't hear nothing again
- 27:59for the next 40 hours, you know? That's actually one of the
- 28:03complaints people have of like Pokémon Legend CA is that
- 28:07there's cutscenes, but there's no voices.
- 28:10There's no. Voices, yeah.
- 28:12There are no voices and people are like Nintendo.
- 28:15It's the 21st century. You got a powerful system.
- 28:17Why don't you have voices for this?
- 28:19Because it looks weird but. I.
- 28:21Remember Nintendo? I remember, I remember, I
- 28:25remember the old school Angry Video Game Nerd videos where
- 28:28he's like, where he's like, it's like, he's like guys reading in
- 28:32video games. What's happening here?
- 28:36I mean, I mean, yeah, like, I, I, we certain certain
- 28:40generations of gamers now we are.
- 28:43I say we because I'm in that generation now.
- 28:45Like I, I turn my subtitles on, you know, even though the
- 28:47dialogue is spoken perfectly clear, it just gives me that
- 28:50more immersive experience and stuff like that.
- 28:52You know, like, yeah, the subtitles are on.
- 28:55I'm going to read along on the subtitles even though I hear
- 28:56everything, you know, but it feels like if I don't have the
- 28:58subtitles on and, and a spoken dialogue is happening, I'm like,
- 29:01what did he just say? Like what?
- 29:02What? Am I missing something?
- 29:04Yeah. Like, like what?
- 29:06What game is this? You know you.
- 29:09Can't hear it unless you actually read it.
- 29:11Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. In the same way I have subtitles
- 29:16on when I watch like TV or like video games, I'm sure the
- 29:19subtitles are big enough that I can actually read them.
- 29:22Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to miss something.
- 29:25Yeah, well, well #1 like, we're in an age now where like, where
- 29:28like, audio mixing for like, TV shows and movies is shit, you
- 29:32know, like, you know, like the music will.
- 29:35Music Your your. Your your your.
- 29:37Volume, your volume can be like, your volume can be like at like
- 29:40human volume levels and all of a sudden the music or like
- 29:43explosions will just like deafen you, but you can't hear a God
- 29:46damn thing. You know, someone's saying, you
- 29:48know, when, when there is no music or action going on around,
- 29:51I was like, are they whispering? What, what's happening?
- 29:54You know, it's, it's like, it's like that, you know, I, I also
- 29:58learned, I also learned to like start using subtitles because
- 30:01of, because of nieces and nephews and young cousins.
- 30:05And when I say young cousins, like, yeah, I have some, I have
- 30:08some aunts and uncles that, you know, were like, they're still,
- 30:10they were still having kids until their 50s.
- 30:12And I'm like, what the fuck are y'all doing?
- 30:15Like, like we're not, we're not going to raise these kids when
- 30:18you, when you guys pass away. I don't care if they're our
- 30:20cousins. Wow.
- 30:27Miracle of raising kids at a very old age.
- 30:31I finished. I finished Season 2 of
- 30:33Peacemaker. Show is Peacemaker, Yeah.
- 30:37Peace, oh peacemaker, right? John's like, yeah, the John
- 30:40Cena. Yeah, no, I was like.
- 30:44Were you thinking of Peace Walker?
- 30:46For some reason I thought you were trying to say Peace Walker,
- 30:50and I thought you said pacemaker.
- 30:54It's been a long week, dude. It's only Tuesday bro.
- 30:57I know. It's also.
- 30:59Not paddled yet? Yeah, God, no, Yeah, yeah.
- 31:03You know, I'm going to say I'm going to say this and and I'm
- 31:07pretty sure it's the James Gunn effect, you know, with with
- 31:10Peacemaker and like some of the stuff that's going on with the
- 31:12DC Universe now, when I heard that Peacemaker was becoming a
- 31:18show, I definitely was not interested because like, you
- 31:20know, a lot of DC, the DC EU projects were just dumpster
- 31:24fires and stuff like that. So I really was not, I really
- 31:27was not in any hurry to watch Peacemaker, you know, given that
- 31:32isn't Peacemaker. Peacemaker was the first DC show
- 31:35from the universe, am I correct? The heck.
- 31:38It was the show that kind of blended from one universe to the
- 31:41other. Yeah, if we don't, if we don't
- 31:43include. Yeah, if we don't, if we don't
- 31:46include like the like the like The CW universe.
- 31:50That's what I'm saying. Yeah.
- 31:52Yeah, yeah. So like I wasn't really hurry
- 31:55because like, because like I've gotten burned by quite a few of
- 31:57those movies. I love both the Suicide Squad
- 31:59movies. So I love both of them.
- 32:00But I just did not have like the the mojo or the energy to like
- 32:03to like want to start this because like I was like, this is
- 32:06going to be, this is going to be something else, you know?
- 32:08And I, I, but I, I started, I started Peacemaker season.
- 32:14I started watching Peacemaker season 1 when the first episode
- 32:17of season 2 came out and I kind of like burned.
- 32:20I kind of burned through it actually.
- 32:21Like, you know, like I like the first episode was really good.
- 32:24You know, like, yeah, it's got, it's got James, it's got James
- 32:28Gunn flair to it. So just think all the over the
- 32:30topness of like Guardian Galaxy movies and stuff like that, you
- 32:32know? But at the same time, like, you
- 32:34know, like it's actually a really good show and like it's
- 32:37well written as far as the characters go and stuff like
- 32:40that. Some of the stuff is
- 32:40fantastical, but I also chalked it up to like, if you're, if
- 32:45you're an old school comic nerd, like how I was or am basically
- 32:50you were either you're either ADC person or Marvel person.
- 32:54And I'm a Marvel person because any time I tried to read like
- 32:58ADC superhero comic, the supers were just too damn super, you
- 33:03know, It was like, it was like, it was like they either had no
- 33:05flaws or they had every single flaw, but they were still
- 33:08somehow fantastic, you know? And there was no interview.
- 33:12About Batman. Batman was human.
- 33:15Batman Yeah, well, well, I mean he has no powers, first of all,
- 33:19but I but the one thing I will say about the entire like Gotham
- 33:23family, you know, is, is those characters are written a certain
- 33:27those characters are written in a way that I feel like, you
- 33:30know, like if they were real life vigilantes in our world,
- 33:35like this would be how they are. Yeah, you would have somebody
- 33:38you would have somebody that's one step away from being
- 33:41admitted to an to an insane asylum, like fighting for the on
- 33:43the right side of justice. You know, like you're probably
- 33:45going to have a couple of broken kids that, you know, like had
- 33:48some crap going on in there with their family and stuff like
- 33:50that. And they're fighting for
- 33:51justice. And then you're going to have
- 33:52someone that actually goes off the deep end because something
- 33:55really bad happens to them and, you know, they become an anti
- 33:57hero and stuff like that. You know, I feel like, I feel
- 34:00like, I feel like the Batman storyline as far as like the
- 34:02entire Gotham universe goes in, in, in, in both the DC Comics as
- 34:06well as like the televised series and the movies and stuff
- 34:09like that. They've always been written in
- 34:11a, in a way that's basically human.
- 34:13Like Pat said, you know, but you know, people can resonate with
- 34:17that, You know, I don't know how the fuck Batman always beats
- 34:19Superman. I, I don't understand.
- 34:21I 'cause I think it's 'cause I think it's, well, he, he's
- 34:25smart, yeah. Because, yeah, like, I mean, if
- 34:27we look, if we look at Cal L, like, come on, Cal L is
- 34:30basically Cal is basically a himbo, you know, like he's, he's
- 34:34just there for looks. He's super strong.
- 34:36He's got some, he's got some unique feats and stuff like
- 34:38that, but he's not that smart. Because come on, an alien from
- 34:42the world? Super outsmart Batman.
- 34:45I I think it's more because Batman's willing to cross lines
- 34:49where Superman kinda is the more stoic keeps holding back his
- 34:53punches because yeah. You know which I remember there
- 34:56was an episode, there was an episode and then actually in the
- 34:58finale of the Justice League Unlimited series, when when
- 35:02Superman was fighting dark side, like he actually gave the
- 35:05speech. He's like, he's like, he's like,
- 35:07he's like, I've always had to hold back every time I've had to
- 35:09fight a bad guy like you. But guess what?
- 35:11You can take it. And and he started like
- 35:14annihilating Dark Side and then in that finale to the point
- 35:19where Dark Side had to start cheating to fight, to fight him
- 35:22off. Yeah, I I think that's really
- 35:26the best way to go around fighting Superman is to go like,
- 35:31be willing. To you got to play, you got to
- 35:32play dirty Superman, because Superman's Superman's playing
- 35:37with like coasterized rules. You know, he's he's Mark the
- 35:42marquee of Queensbury rules or something.
- 35:43Every time he goes into a fight where everybody else is like
- 35:46this dude can literally this dude can literally poke me with
- 35:48his finger and kill me. So like, yeah, I'm going all
- 35:51out. Yeah.
- 35:54So yeah, I, I finished up Peacemaker season 2.
- 35:56Like if you if, if anybody's out there is watching this episode
- 35:59or listening right now, if you have not, if you have not pulled
- 36:02the trigger on Peacemaker because you've also had the same
- 36:04trepidation about like the DCU stuff, I can honestly say this
- 36:07is a stand out And it actually, it actually is great.
- 36:10And season 2, there's only two seasons, but season 2 was season
- 36:142 was phenomenal. Like, you know, and normally
- 36:17sophomore seasons of anything is usually not as good as the first
- 36:20season and you know, so but this one up season and also and also
- 36:25whatever, whatever, like tomfoolery's going on DCU right
- 36:28now because yeah, they I have to go watch the Superman movie now
- 36:32because I obviously missed something from the Superman.
- 36:36Yeah, I think there's. Definitely some strong
- 36:37connections to. Superman, there's like 2
- 36:40episodes that have cross references.
- 36:42Like, yeah, we saw the really hot Lex Luthor, you know, in, in
- 36:46like the the penultimate episode of the season.
- 36:48And I was like, oh man, like, no, I'm sorry.
- 36:51Did you also message Justice Gang in another?
- 36:54Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry.
- 36:57I'm sorry. Some about the British actor
- 37:00Nicholas Holt that I don't know. I mean, I kind of been on his
- 37:03radar since the Nosferatu movie came out.
- 37:06I mean, he was beasted in the X-Men movies, yeah.
- 37:08He was beasted in the X-Men. Yeah.
- 37:09Like, I wasn't really feeling. I wasn't really feeling him back
- 37:12then, you know. But.
- 37:13But yeah, like Nosferatu happened, you know, came out
- 37:15last year and I was like, oh, like, who's this guy?
- 37:18And went back and started watching some of his other
- 37:20stuff, you know, And I was like, wait, he was Beast.
- 37:26I think he also. Had relations with Jennifer
- 37:28Lawrence. Yeah, that's right.
- 37:30Yeah. Yeah.
- 37:32But honestly, in the in the in the reboot X-Men movies, it was
- 37:35all about, it was all about James McAvoy and Michael
- 37:38Fassbender. Everybody.
- 37:39Everybody had eyes on them, you know?
- 37:41And Jennifer Logan. Who?
- 37:45Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence.
- 37:46Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mystique.
- 37:48Even though I feel her mystique was good, but I feel like I feel
- 37:51like her mystique did not do Rebecca Romaine's Mystique
- 37:54justice. For I heard rumors they're
- 37:58bringing back Rebecca Romain for.
- 38:00Doomsday they are. Yeah, you kind of confirmed.
- 38:03It I thought, yeah, I thought they had like the seat.
- 38:07When they did. Those the ACT.
- 38:08Yeah. Yeah, she's coming back.
- 38:10Yeah, they're all coming back. The original the.
- 38:14Original X-Men. Yeah.
- 38:15James Marston. James Marston's going to be like
- 38:17a main character. OK, I have, I'm, I'm a little
- 38:23behind on, on some of the nerdy comic book stuff.
- 38:25Like I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like
- 38:29television entertainment, especially like streaming
- 38:31network entertainment now is, is just, is just designed to piss
- 38:35me off. So I try to ignore it until
- 38:37until like, it's either here or I hear the right thing about it,
- 38:40you know? Yeah, Speaking of X-Men, I
- 38:43started watching. I finally started watching X-Men
- 38:4597. Oh, what do you think?
- 38:48Oh, I watched I. Watched already.
- 38:49Did that one already? No, we.
- 38:51I watched the I watched the entire run of the original X-Men
- 38:56cartoons. That's right.
- 38:57OK. Why did you do that?
- 38:59I'm still. Because I wanted because like
- 39:02they put it on Disney Plus right before they announced, like
- 39:05right before they put X-Men 97. I'm like, I'm going to watch
- 39:08this before I watch X-Men 97. And then my son got really into
- 39:11it for a little bit. I love, I, I love the original
- 39:16X-Men series, but I've been, I've and every now and then I'll
- 39:20catch reruns of it. You know, it will when I say
- 39:23reruns, like I'll catch random airings on like random channels
- 39:26sometimes, you know, but the but I try, I've been trying my best
- 39:32not to actually sit down and watch this because I feel like
- 39:35it's going to have the same, I mean one of the same syndrome I
- 39:38had like when I tried to rewatch GI Joe, Transformers,
- 39:43Thundercats, Voltron. I feel like, I feel like, I feel
- 39:47like the magic is the magic is going to be ruined.
- 39:50It's definitely, it definitely doesn't really hold up animation
- 39:54wise, but like X-Men 97 definitely has like the feel at
- 39:59least and it definitely has like exactly what I want from like a
- 40:03sequel series or spiritual success or whatever you want to
- 40:06call it, Storm's entrances. Dope as hell.
- 40:12And then yeah, that cyclops is in a little bitch in this.
- 40:18Finally. Was he really a little bitch in
- 40:21the original series though? Towards the end, like not not
- 40:26like there's a point where he was like cool, and then he got
- 40:29real soft when him and and Gene right.
- 40:32And then obviously spoilers for a 30 year old cartoon.
- 40:36And like every other X-Men story ever made, Gene dies and Cyclops
- 40:41gets sad and so does Wolverine. But yeah, I don't know.
- 40:48This is cool. Cyclops is cool.
- 40:51Jubilees shooting off fireworks with their fingers in the club.
- 40:57Yeah. It's cool.
- 40:59I don't know, man. Something about X-Men.
- 41:01I love the X-Men. Love the X-Men.
- 41:05Yeah, I almost picked up Ninja Gaiden Ford.
- 41:08I almost picked it up. I don't know, I don't know if I
- 41:12I don't know if I have like, I don't know if I have the energy
- 41:14for this right now, especially with me playing Final Fantasy
- 41:16Tactics and Final Fantasy 7 at the same time basically.
- 41:20So I don't know if I have the energy right now for it.
- 41:22So it's so it'll probably, it'll probably be a down the road
- 41:26game, probably after New Year's if I decide to play it because
- 41:29I'm also like, man, like I like challenging games, but you know,
- 41:32like, like I really got to get in the right head space for a
- 41:35game that's, you know, going to make me want to punch babies and
- 41:38kick puppies, you know, because it's how hard it is.
- 41:41Yeah, I. Haven't read reviews for this
- 41:44one yet. Is it like because Platinum's?
- 41:46Platinum was the one that developed this one, so.
- 41:49Yeah, people seem to like it. I.
- 41:51Think wouldn't be as hard. I feel like people seem to like.
- 41:55It it should be. It should be flashy.
- 41:57More than this should be hard. I think people like it.
- 42:00I think people, the loud portion of the Internet doesn't like it
- 42:04because it's published by Microsoft.
- 42:08That's kind of where I'm at right now is like, I want to
- 42:10play Keeper and I wouldn't mind playing Ninja Gaiden and then
- 42:13Outer Worlds 2, but I'm Microsoft burned out.
- 42:17It's like I don't know if I want to support it if I do like.
- 42:24You know what, you know what we should do, we should record a
- 42:25bunch of specials for the rest of the year that like that, like
- 42:29basically do analysis of some of the stuff that's going on.
- 42:31And I, I, we should, we should definitely do a post mortem on
- 42:33Microsoft, Microsoft and Xbox. You know, I feel like, I thought
- 42:36that would be a great, I feel like that would be a great thing
- 42:39that, you know, like I, I feel like it would get the right
- 42:41amount of listeners, it would get a lot, a lot of engagement,
- 42:43stuff like that. And you know what, we should not
- 42:46do that one live. We should just record that one,
- 42:48chop it up, throw it out there in the ether and see what
- 42:50happens. You know, and that could be just
- 42:52one part of it. Like we can talk talk about like
- 42:54what the Hell's going on with with Square Enix.
- 42:56We can talk about what the Hell's going on with Sony.
- 42:59We can talk about what the Hell's going on with with.
- 43:02Have you noticed we haven't heard shit else about Electronic
- 43:06Arts since we heard about the, the merger or the acquisition or
- 43:09whatever. Have you noticed we haven't
- 43:10heard shit else about them? Well, they don't have to because
- 43:12they're they're going to go private.
- 43:14They don't have to say anything. Well, well, still, I feel like
- 43:17there should have been like, I still feel like we should be
- 43:19hearing news about something, you know what I mean?
- 43:21I mean, I'm sure we will soon. It's just like, yeah, I mean,
- 43:24that deal's not even closing until 2027, so.
- 43:28They're just, they're just quiet right now, you know, like it's,
- 43:30it's, it's the most bombastic. Thing well.
- 43:33It's Madden season, it's FIFA season, it's NCAA season.
- 43:37They, they've got sports games to be, you know, updating.
- 43:42All I'm saying is this is the most bombastic news we've had
- 43:44since the Activision Blizzard acquisition.
- 43:46They have they have Ultimate Team cards to sell or on.
- 43:48They don't have time to be giving you news.
- 43:51I guess so. I guess so.
- 43:53That's everything I've been. That's everything I've been
- 43:55playing, watching, or almost picked up this week.
- 44:00Nice. I mean, I really haven't been
- 44:03doing a lot except for working. Unfortunately, that happens.
- 44:08I played some games with my kids this weekend.
- 44:10We played. Anybody's played Battlefield 6?
- 44:13No, I don't care about Battlefield.
- 44:15Oh, the only shooters you, the only shooters you worry about is
- 44:19if the IS, if the name starts with AD or starts with an H and
- 44:24sometimes AG. What's the H?
- 44:26Halo I. Don't really care about Halo.
- 44:29I like Halo. I'm not like dying.
- 44:32Like I'm not like a die hard Halo fan.
- 44:35I like Halo multiplayer's fun. But like, I don't know.
- 44:42Anyways, what was I saying? Oh, put some Mario Party
- 44:48Jamboree plus Jamboree TV with my kids and the camera.
- 44:53My kids love that camera, let me tell you.
- 44:57I think they're, I think they're the only people that love that
- 44:59camera right now. It's fine.
- 45:02I feel like, I feel like the magic.
- 45:03I feel like the magic died. I love seeing that really
- 45:08garbage 480P camera quality up on my 4 KTV.
- 45:12Is it 480 Pi? Feel like it's 360?
- 45:15I don't know, some it's not very good.
- 45:16Whatever it is, it's it claims it's 1080P, but it is not 1080P.
- 45:21Has garbage. Especially when it's split four
- 45:23ways. When?
- 45:24Are the did you get the Nintendo or the the Piranha plant?
- 45:29I got the Nintendo 1. OK.
- 45:31Yeah, the piranha plant is a lower quality.
- 45:35Yeah, I knew that. All right.
- 45:36That's why I didn't get it. But that's kind of like it,
- 45:43really. I'm trying to see what else.
- 45:49I did buy Yuko Replay E but I didn't play it.
- 45:55Oh, and I've also been chugging along in Star Wars Allies also,
- 45:59but I don't really have anything new to say about.
- 46:01That third or fourth person that I've talked to like, you know,
- 46:04in like the streaming environment that's talking,
- 46:07that's talked about you could replay.
- 46:10Yeah, it's a good game, very much improved over the original.
- 46:19Yep. So yeah, that's kind of, that's
- 46:25kind of it. I wish I had more to play, but
- 46:29I'm just like, I'm kind of like games out right now.
- 46:33And and it's not like I don't know, I feel like I'm just too
- 46:36tired to play games. So like it's just I'm not
- 46:39playing a lot. So it kind of sucks, but also
- 46:44like, I don't know what else to do, man.
- 46:50Lie in bed and cry. I mean, I do that all the time.
- 46:57Speaking of crying, why don't we get into the the news of the
- 47:04week? Because that's all I did.
- 47:06Yeah, looks like we have a lot to talk about.
- 47:08Or a lot lot to attempt to talk about.
- 47:10Yeah. I mean, we should probably talk
- 47:13about this AWS outage yesterday, which like what are you talking
- 47:17about that? Well, it affected a lot of game
- 47:20stuff. It affected things like
- 47:22PlayStation and Fortnite's and Roblox and Snapchat for you kids
- 47:27out there who are snapping each other.
- 47:30I don't I don't know is that is that they still call it these
- 47:32days? I don't know.
- 47:36AWS reportedly reported significant signs of recovery
- 47:40after a major outage on its East US E 1 region disrupted numerous
- 47:46online services, including major games such as PlayStation
- 47:50Network, Fortnite, Roblox and Pokémon Go.
- 47:54The outage stem. The outage stemmed from issues
- 47:59with a Dynamo DB. AP is leading a widespread
- 48:03downtime across games, social and banking platforms.
- 48:09Yeah. We've got.
- 48:11Transfer money yesterday. Yeah, There it affected wire
- 48:14transfers for a couple of our banks that we work with at my
- 48:18work, so. It also affected podcast
- 48:23recordings at work yesterday. It was great.
- 48:27A WAWS says most requests are now succeeding, though some
- 48:34queue processes remain as recovery continues.
- 48:38So that's crazy, man. Anybody, anybody have any issues
- 48:42on PlayStation yesterday? Like I didn't really see anybody
- 48:46who quote UN quote plays games talking about this, but.
- 48:51You know, I did not have an issue, but I also played it at
- 48:53night time when I imagine most of it got fixed by then.
- 48:58Yeah, because it happened at like 2/3, 4:00 in the morning,
- 49:02East Coast time. Oh, OK.
- 49:04Yeah, I played on Yeah, I, I the only the only thing I played
- 49:07yesterday was Final Fantasy Tactics, and now it's late in
- 49:09the evening. Yeah, it.
- 49:14Was a weird. Taylor was affected by it,
- 49:16though. She she started her master's
- 49:19program through an online school and they weren't able to have
- 49:24their first dates. That sucked.
- 49:28I thought you were going to tell me she couldn't open, she
- 49:30couldn't pull a Genshin character.
- 49:33I don't know. She she could probably do that
- 49:35still, I don't think that's part of that network.
- 49:37I know I. Was just kidding.
- 49:38That's the China network. I just I know she likes Genshin
- 49:42so. I just thought she loves
- 49:43Genshin. I tried to tried to make it
- 49:45funny. It was hilarious.
- 49:49Don't lie to me, Pat. God, man.
- 49:54I know I'm a person, that's fine.
- 49:57Sure you're a douche, I know I am.
- 50:00That's fine. You're, you're whatever I need
- 50:04to talk to your doctor, whatever this medication is doing to you,
- 50:07it needs to, it needs to simmer down.
- 50:09Don't worry Laron, I won't feel the effects of this medication
- 50:12except for stomach pain for four to six weeks, so this is all
- 50:15natural. So that means you're going, that
- 50:17means you're going, that means you're going to be completely
- 50:19miserable and going to make our lives suffer.
- 50:22Leron, I'm already completely look how.
- 50:24Fabulous you're going to be because you don't want to eat
- 50:26anything. I mean, that's.
- 50:28Fair. He's already lost enough weight,
- 50:30though. I know, but then I gained some,
- 50:32but then I had lost some again so.
- 50:34Well, you gained some because you decided to like, you decided
- 50:36to eat like you were on vacation, which you mean you
- 50:39were on vacation, but still. I mean, I, yeah, I was on
- 50:42vacation. Yeah, like, yeah.
- 50:43Like, yeah. Like we, we just stopped making
- 50:46that thing eating like we're on vacation when we're on vacation
- 50:49because no, like. No, no.
- 50:51If you're. I'm going to eat like I'm on
- 50:54vacation when I'm on vacation. He's.
- 50:57He's got a point in the run. I, I just hate feeling like
- 51:01super sluggish, you know, and you know, like, like, Oh my God,
- 51:04why am I still digesting all of all the breakfast, you know,
- 51:07after I've crammed lunch, dinner and 2nd dinner down, you know,
- 51:12come on, 2nd dinner, it's either 2nd dinner or second lunch or
- 51:16sometimes second breakfast and then a second, a second dinner,
- 51:20you know. I only eat 2 times a day.
- 51:22Huh. I only eat 2 times a day.
- 51:25That means you're eating to excess both those times.
- 51:29I don't eat. I actually am surprised I still
- 51:32weigh as much as I do you. Where are you at as far as your
- 51:36weight? Where are you at now?
- 51:38I mean, I've been hovering around 250-3255 for the last
- 51:43couple months. Wow, you're lighter than me now.
- 51:46You're taller than I am, right? You're like, what, 65?
- 51:48Yeah, you tell. Me, I'm lighter than Corey.
- 51:53How much do you weigh right now, Pat?
- 51:54Because I know you've been losing weight too.
- 51:56Last time I weighed myself I was 245.
- 51:59Holy shit I'm the fat ass in this.
- 52:01Group right now. Yep, God.
- 52:03Damn Lauren, lose some weight. Your best bet, Like just guess
- 52:10who's guess who's not going to go home for either the holidays?
- 52:13So he saved, so he's so he's, so he saves at least 10 lbs of
- 52:16excess weight. You guys just really did a boost
- 52:20of my self esteem here. Thank you for making me the
- 52:25skinniest person in the room. Happy we can help because I I
- 52:29hover, I hover right now between 267 and 271 right now and and
- 52:33I'm starting to get more rusty than.
- 52:34The rest of us though, so. Yeah, yeah.
- 52:37But I but I hate the fact that I hate the fact that the muscle
- 52:40density like still puts the scale at a certain at a certain
- 52:43phase, you know? Yeah, I mean, I hate it.
- 52:46I hate it, but you know, like I this is, this is the, this is
- 52:49the struggles I have that I really should start talking to
- 52:51my therapist about, you know, because the military really
- 52:53screwed me up, this old body mass index bullshit.
- 52:57Yeah, sports said that to me too.
- 52:59I just just figure out how to ignore it.
- 53:04But. You figured out how to ignore
- 53:06it. Can you teach me the ways?
- 53:07Yeah, you just ignore it, Just see, just don't care about
- 53:13yourself for like and then become nihilistic.
- 53:20Like. I know that sounds like.
- 53:21Really. I'm telling you I would.
- 53:24Go but like I. Would go on a crack diet but I'm
- 53:26afraid I would get addicted. I mean, I know that sounds like
- 53:31terrible, but like, that's kind of what I did.
- 53:33I just kind of didn't care for a while about things.
- 53:36And yeah, and then I cared a lot about things.
- 53:41And then I went on the the Hugh Jackman Wolverine diet for a
- 53:47while and workout plan was the only time I ever had ABS.
- 53:51I felt good and. You didn't send me any pictures.
- 53:56I didn't know you then there on. Oh.
- 53:59Oh, so this wasn't recent recent.
- 54:01OK, Damn. OK.
- 54:03No, it was not recent. Whenever you ever known me to go
- 54:08workout for 3 1/2 hours a day. Actually, I not yet.
- 54:13I haven't, Yeah. I haven't met that.
- 54:14I haven't met that Corey yet. Yeah, well.
- 54:18And I guess now, I guess now wiping kids like, you know, like
- 54:20you're lucky you can get 30 minutes a day for workouts.
- 54:24Yeah, I'm lucky if I can walk in my car.
- 54:27What were we talking about? I got to tell you though, I
- 54:33hated working out like that. But it did wonders for.
- 54:38Grand, grand results though, for sure.
- 54:43Just saying it's cool anyways I need.
- 54:48To get back into working, at least trying to work out again.
- 54:53Yeah, I need to, I need to do it too.
- 54:54But but I've, I've got I've got this weird thing going on with
- 54:57my shoulder and I'm like, you know what, like I'm not sure if
- 55:00I will should start back, even though sometimes training,
- 55:04sometimes train, train out, like the deficiency is, is exactly
- 55:08how you fix it. But you know, I'm also like,
- 55:10this is my damn shoulder and like I, I don't need to be
- 55:12gimped up going into like the new year.
- 55:15Yeah, you should probably not do that.
- 55:17You know, just you, you want a healthy, healthy new year,
- 55:23right? So.
- 55:24Yeah. Anyways, AWS outage, we are out
- 55:29of comments on that. All right, let's move on.
- 55:36It's spooky season. Yeah, I love.
- 55:40Spooky season can't talk about spooky season without talking
- 55:43about Resident Evil. Apparently, the Resident Evil 0
- 55:48remake seemingly has leaked due to a cast listing.
- 55:53Evidence of a Resident Evil 0 remake has strengthened after
- 55:57actor John McLaren, who known for voicing Star Lord in
- 56:02Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, listed in quote upcoming
- 56:05AAA video game titled Project Chamber on his resume.
- 56:10Fans believe the name refers to Resident Evil 0's protagonist
- 56:14Rebecca Chambers, suggesting McLaren could be portraying
- 56:18Billy Cohen, which is the other playable character in that game.
- 56:22Yep. One of the one of the one of the
- 56:24most underrated characters in the entire Resident Evil
- 56:28universe. Like whatever happened like.
- 56:30Really after 0? We do not know.
- 56:33We do not know. And I feel like.
- 56:36I feel like 9. At the time, we've had four
- 56:38Resident Evil animated movies, you know, since then, you know,
- 56:41right, We should, he should have popped up by now, you know what
- 56:44I mean? Yeah, I mean, it's time.
- 56:48It's time, right? The project is reportedly
- 56:55captured at Beyond Capture Studios, which also worked on
- 56:59Resident Evil 4 Remake, hinting at Capcom's continued
- 57:02collaboration as it explores remakes on non numbered entries
- 57:06of the series, with Resident Evil Code Veronica also
- 57:13rumoured. The only the only games I got
- 57:16left is like 5. And six now, right?
- 57:18I mean five and six are. They're modern in my opinion,
- 57:22but they're modern in my opinion.
- 57:24But I feel like, but I feel like 5, I feel like 5 could
- 57:26definitely like, you know, like benefit from an overhaul and
- 57:31you. Really want to deal with that
- 57:32fake political commentary later on.
- 57:36I mean it, it was bound to happen especially well I I feel
- 57:40like they have to wait now because the the death of the
- 57:43voice actor Wesker. I'm sure they could probably
- 57:47recover like someone else later. Actually, we'll find out if they
- 57:51remake 0, won't we? Yeah.
- 57:54But I don't know, like yeah, they they have to remake 0.
- 57:58They have to at least remake Code Veronica and maybe even
- 58:02Outbreak because of the tie in with Resident Evil 9.
- 58:07You know, the I, I have a funny feeling what they're going to
- 58:09do, what they're going to do is they're going to start tapping
- 58:11like the the 3DS games, they're going to start doing those next.
- 58:15They already did them revelations.
- 58:18They already did those. They already.
- 58:20They were like, that wasn't really Revelations was really a
- 58:23remake though. It was more like they just
- 58:25ported it over and gave it, you know, modern controls.
- 58:28But that's all it needed. What do you want it to be?
- 58:34They're pretty solid games. I mean, like in terms of how
- 58:36they feel to play. I don't.
- 58:38Know if they're I don't know if they I feel like they want to do
- 58:41the same thing to do with 3423 and four like they cause like
- 58:45aren't they? Isn't there rumors about like
- 58:47Resident Evil 1 getting one more redo?
- 58:51I think there is a like a Resident Evil one anniversary
- 58:55remake or something 'cause like what?
- 58:58Like the series? Some some sort of anniversary is
- 59:01coming up, right? They should.
- 59:05You know what I would like to see at least remade into the RE
- 59:08engine? Dude that game would be scary
- 59:10shit if you'd made it like Resident Evil 2 and three.
- 59:13Like over the shoulder creepy. Touch leave the story gameplay
- 59:18as is. Like keep.
- 59:20Keep the red red walkers in there too, or whatever they were
- 59:23called. The Crimson Heads.
- 59:26The Crimson heads. Thank you.
- 59:28And, you know, just just redo the graphics with the new engine
- 59:32and kind of like what last Naughty Dog did with Last of Us.
- 59:39Yeah, it's. Been like 20 years, we could get
- 59:42a new one. Yeah, also that remake on Game
- 59:45Cube was like 5 years after the original.
- 59:47So like, I mean, I know it counts, but it also like, I
- 59:52don't know man, we've come so far in the remake realm that
- 59:55they might as well just do it anyway.
- 59:59If we can remake The Last of Us after one system, we can remake
- 1:00:03Resident Evil after What's 3 now.
- 1:00:11Yeah. GameCube kind of throws it off,
- 1:00:14but then you'd be like the Wii, Wii U and the Switch, so.
- 1:00:21Yeah, I'm trying to think I don't know 4.
- 1:00:24Generations. I would, I don't know.
- 1:00:27I, I feel like, I feel like it if, if it's possible studios if
- 1:00:33Luigi's. Mansion can get a remake, so can
- 1:00:36Resident Evil remake. Well, Luigi's Mansion 1 is not
- 1:00:42available on modern platforms. Yeah, it's a switch.
- 1:00:48No, that's not the switch. Never mind.
- 1:00:49You're right. You're right.
- 1:00:51Yeah. Why is it not an E shop yet?
- 1:00:542/2 though 2's a gym. Yeah.
- 1:00:58No, they need to remake it because I refuse to play the
- 1:01:01Luigi's Mansion one again until they add reverse inverted
- 1:01:05controls. Normal controls.
- 1:01:08What is the deal? You own the inverted controls,
- 1:01:12man. What?
- 1:01:13Who hurt you? I hate infra.
- 1:01:15I don't like inverted. Oh, you hate inverted controls?
- 1:01:18Oh yeah, no, Luigi's mansion is inverted and you can't change
- 1:01:22it. It's like all the that's all
- 1:01:24the. That's right.
- 1:01:25That's why I stopped. That's why I stopped playing it.
- 1:01:27That's right. I remember that now.
- 1:01:28Yeah, 'cause I went to replay it like a few years ago when I got
- 1:01:31my GameCube out and I was like, oh, I'm going to play some
- 1:01:33GameCube games. And I was like, oh, geez.
- 1:01:35And then I played Metroid Prime 4 and I'm like, oh, or Metroid
- 1:01:38Prime One on the GameCube and it's like, Oh no, this doesn't
- 1:01:43have normal first person shooter controls.
- 1:01:47Oh no. We probably fixed it though for
- 1:01:49the I. I never played the Nintendo 3DS
- 1:01:53version. They probably fixed it though
- 1:01:55for the 3DS version. I think I don't know.
- 1:01:59I I think I remember it being stylus based, but I don't
- 1:02:02remember. I don't know.
- 1:02:04Whatever the first one. No, they had the nub.
- 1:02:08I forgot they had the nub on there.
- 1:02:10You could use the nub as like a second control stick, sort of.
- 1:02:15But yeah, by the time Luigi's Mansion remake came out, I
- 1:02:18didn't care about the 3DS, like, at all.
- 1:02:20Oh gosh, that was like one of the last 3DS games ever.
- 1:02:23That was so late in this game. Switchers are already out by
- 1:02:28then. Yeah, I'm pretty.
- 1:02:29I'm pretty sure the last 3DS game I actually bought was the
- 1:02:32Shadows of Valencia, the Fireman game.
- 1:02:35I can tell you I can tell you the the last 3DS game I bought,
- 1:02:38it was Samus Returns, Metroid, Metroid 2.
- 1:02:41Yeah, that was a late Gen. 1-2. Yeah.
- 1:02:45Yeah. I mean, yes, we do need more
- 1:02:48Resident Evil remakes. I should probably play those.
- 1:02:57We're good. No, I'm scared to death.
- 1:03:00Corey, if Steph can do it, so can you, you know?
- 1:03:06Steph says she's a weenie about scary games, so she sure plays a
- 1:03:10hell of a lot of scary games. I know, right?
- 1:03:12I think she likes it. I think she likes third person
- 1:03:16scary games. She still don't touch the first
- 1:03:18person once I. Mean that's fair.
- 1:03:20First person is much scary. We should make her play Resident
- 1:03:23Evil 7 in VR. Patriotic, that was.
- 1:03:28Creepy. I remember playing the demo for
- 1:03:31Resident Evil 7 VR and the demo basically has you tied up to the
- 1:03:36chair and like weird things are happening and then the very end
- 1:03:39of the demo these fingers start coming right over your eyes
- 1:03:45before you know the game goes in black.
- 1:03:50It was awesome. Nice Resident Evil 0 though,
- 1:03:56that's a gem. I like that one.
- 1:03:59I like 0 and 1:00 and 4:00 and 5:00 and 6:00.
- 1:04:04I really like 5 and 6. If they do Remake 0, they got to
- 1:04:08do something about that inventory management system at
- 1:04:10least. Bring audio access.
- 1:04:11Yeah, yeah. Oh my God.
- 1:04:13Also like they better not they better not do the like character
- 1:04:18switching like you know what I mean?
- 1:04:20Like the whole like. Yeah, I hated that too.
- 1:04:23I hated that too. I mean, like, I know that was
- 1:04:25kind of like a cool thing. I like it was a novelty at the
- 1:04:29time, but it didn't really. I don't think it's going to hold
- 1:04:31up today, so. Yeah, Zero would need some work
- 1:04:37if they remake it for sure. Yeah, it would.
- 1:04:41But then again, that's what the remakes are.
- 1:04:43They are ground up remakes. Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:04:51I still think that. I still think Resident Evil 4
- 1:04:53was really pretty good. The eight along DLC was pretty
- 1:04:58good too. So all right, I guess we should
- 1:05:05probably talk about Warner Brothers.
- 1:05:08Speaking of, we were talking about Peacemaker earlier.
- 1:05:13I keep want to say Peace Walker. Jesus Christ, Warner Brothers.
- 1:05:21Not, not really. I don't really care if I don't
- 1:05:23care. I wish I did.
- 1:05:26It's just like one of those, just like one of those gaping
- 1:05:29holes in my video game life. And, you know, anyways.
- 1:05:37Warner Brothers seems to have announced that it is exploring a
- 1:05:42sale after receiving unsolicited interest from multiple parties
- 1:05:47following the apparent collapse of a deal with Paramount Global.
- 1:05:52This move could affect all divisions, including Warner
- 1:05:54Brothers games, which recently refocused on core franchises
- 1:05:58like Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, and the
- 1:06:02DC Universe. A sale may lead to stock
- 1:06:08volatility, reshuffled operations and potential studio
- 1:06:13restructuring or closures, putting both game projects and
- 1:06:17other media arms like HBO and Discovery Plus in uncertainty as
- 1:06:21the company evaluates strategic alternatives to maximizing
- 1:06:25shareholder value. So I mean, I don't think this is
- 1:06:32news, right? I mean this this seems to have
- 1:06:34been happening with the last two years I feel like.
- 1:06:38Warner Brothers doesn't know what they're doing.
- 1:06:39So in all honesty, I could care less whether or not it gets sold
- 1:06:45or, you know, not because I don't think it could really get
- 1:06:48any worse than it is right now. Like, yeah, they, they have no
- 1:06:54clue what they want to do. After the massive failure that
- 1:06:59was Suicide Squad, their next thought was you know what we
- 1:07:04should do A live service DC game.
- 1:07:09I mean, it's like. Yeah, that that's exactly what
- 1:07:12you just did and it failed. Yeah, I don't understand.
- 1:07:18Like, I mean, I understand wanting a live service game, but
- 1:07:21you kind of, I mean, mortal, I feel like Mortal Kombat is kind
- 1:07:25of your live service game, right?
- 1:07:27I mean, not really live service, but you know, like you sell
- 1:07:31fighters, you sell season passes, right?
- 1:07:36I don't know. I feel like Warner Brothers owns
- 1:07:37something else that's pretty big too.
- 1:07:39Well, it. Would be a good live service.
- 1:07:41The Game of Thrones would make a good live service if they
- 1:07:44actually knew how to work it. Like just throw yourself in the
- 1:07:49world of Westeros and just have at it.
- 1:07:53You know, choose, choose your Kingdom, have wars with others,
- 1:07:58do quests or, you know, it's that could work.
- 1:08:05Yeah, but that would also require work, which is something
- 1:08:08I don't think they want to do. They want the easy one.
- 1:08:12Right, right. Like, remember when they were
- 1:08:17like, oh, the next Harry Potter game is going to be live service
- 1:08:21and everybody's like, no, then they were like, never mind, just
- 1:08:26kidding. Bugs Bunny.
- 1:08:29Which like that was, I still feel like, what was that game
- 1:08:34that they made the fighting one that was kind of like, yeah, I
- 1:08:38still feel like that was a good idea.
- 1:08:39And then they pulled it. It was like, you should have
- 1:08:43just kept it going like. Yeah, they had no, they had no
- 1:08:45faith in it. They had no faith in it both
- 1:08:47times that they that they released it.
- 1:08:49They must have had some sort of faith in it.
- 1:08:52They bought the studio and then they closed them on the game.
- 1:08:55Fail. Yeah.
- 1:08:58I don't know why I'm laughing at that.
- 1:08:59That's terrible. People lost their jobs but like.
- 1:09:01That's how Warner Brothers works.
- 1:09:02They literally have these ideas and then they just scrap them
- 1:09:06without like any anything about it.
- 1:09:10It's look at the Batman or Batwoman movie.
- 1:09:13Look at Acme or Wildly Coyote versus Acme.
- 1:09:19Yeah. Isn't that coming back?
- 1:09:21Did somebody buy that? Somebody bought that right for a
- 1:09:23streaming service or something? But I've heard rumor, but I
- 1:09:26don't know. Yeah, I mean, Warner Brothers
- 1:09:33just is such, I don't understand how Warner Brothers is so
- 1:09:37backwards. Like they, they have a they have
- 1:09:42enough stuff to like seriously like rival Disney in terms of
- 1:09:45like IP and like nostalgia and all this other stuff and they
- 1:09:50just keep messing it up. Like, you know, I mean, they
- 1:09:54they what they, they have Lord of the rings too, right, like
- 1:09:57the movie stuff, right. So like.
- 1:10:00Amazon I think has Lord of the Rings now how?
- 1:10:05About the prequel. Content How about the prequel?
- 1:10:07Content, I don't know. I don't know if it's broken up
- 1:10:10or not. I just remember Amazon because I
- 1:10:13thought Amazon was also behind the Gollum game.
- 1:10:16What was it? Lord of Ring Gollum.
- 1:10:19The hunt for Gollum the the really big failure.
- 1:10:24Yeah, man. Who?
- 1:10:27Who thought that was a good idea?
- 1:10:29By the way? Who wants to play as Gollum?
- 1:10:32Seriously, Who greenlit that project?
- 1:10:34You know, like, am I crazy to think that?
- 1:10:39Like people, does anybody want to play as Gollum?
- 1:10:44You guys want to play as Golem? No, not really.
- 1:10:47I didn't want to play as any part of The Lord of the Rings,
- 1:10:49so I definitely didn't want. To play as Golem game?
- 1:10:57No, it's Embracer Group has owns Middle Earth Enterprises, so
- 1:11:03they're the owners of the film, gaming, merchandising and other
- 1:11:06rights. Interesting.
- 1:11:09Shit so. They must be with him or
- 1:11:12something. But yeah, I mean, I, I feel
- 1:11:18especially like, I don't know, my, my wife is kind of worried
- 1:11:23about this Harry Potter show on HBO Max, like.
- 1:11:27As she should. Like, I don't know, I just feel
- 1:11:31like they're going to mess it up.
- 1:11:33You are right. The Warner Brothers license the
- 1:11:36films and Amazon holds TV rights.
- 1:11:39Yeah. OK, I don't think, I don't think
- 1:11:42they're going to screw up the Harry Potter show.
- 1:11:44I think, I think what's going to happen though, is that the
- 1:11:47fandom is going to like just just get into like an all out
- 1:11:51war with each other and it's going to ruin like the the
- 1:11:54experience of the show. Yeah, especially like the
- 1:11:57parents that grew up on it, right?
- 1:11:58Like it's just it's the same thing with everything else that
- 1:12:01happened with Transformers, that happened with Ninja Turtles,
- 1:12:03that happened with, you know, the Disney live action remakes.
- 1:12:07Like it, it happened with Star Wars, right?
- 1:12:11Like twice like. I'm I would like the Harry
- 1:12:18Potter to do good because growing up Harry Potter was
- 1:12:21pretty important. I don't trust Warner Brothers
- 1:12:26that much that and I worry that it might not be at any like what
- 1:12:33differentiates it from the movie.
- 1:12:35Like, I feel like they're not going to change a whole lot and
- 1:12:40we're just getting a reboot of the movie.
- 1:12:43Yeah, well, I mean, I think they're they said they're going
- 1:12:46to stay, they said they're going to stay pretty faithful to the
- 1:12:48source material and they're going to try to like because
- 1:12:51it's a show they can do more and they don't have to cut things
- 1:12:54out from the book, right. So like they can actually do
- 1:12:57more, which you know, if you're going to do have like a 10
- 1:13:01episode season, that's technically like what, 8 1/2 or
- 1:13:069 hours worth of content that you can do instead of 2 1/2.
- 1:13:10So I mean, I believe it, but still like, I don't know, I'm
- 1:13:18worried about these kids, especially the girl that plays
- 1:13:20Hermione in the whole like mud blood reference and she's a
- 1:13:25mixed race girl. Like that's going to be a whole
- 1:13:27another connotation that like, I feel so bad for her.
- 1:13:35I don't know, man. I just Warner Brothers, man.
- 1:13:39They're just, they're just fucking everything up.
- 1:13:41Although Superman apparently was pretty good.
- 1:13:43So you guys see? Superman.
- 1:13:50I meant. I meant to watch it, not last
- 1:13:52week and the week before last. I'm just, yeah.
- 1:13:58I have faith in Guns universe. That was a good movie.
- 1:14:03I. Don't even know who half those
- 1:14:04characters were. Yeah, I don't.
- 1:14:07I know Mr. Terrific from the the Arrowverse.
- 1:14:14I don't even know that one. Man, Arrowverse, I love that.
- 1:14:18I love those shows. They weren't very good, but I.
- 1:14:21Felt I felt out of the Arrowverse and that and I feel
- 1:14:24like that was the that was the most disservice I could have
- 1:14:27done to myself because I was really entertained by but I
- 1:14:30think, I think actually, I'm not going to talk about it now, but
- 1:14:35basically there was a point when I was like, why am I watching
- 1:14:38this stuff? Hey, and it kind of happened
- 1:14:40early in in the lifespan of The CW or the Arrowverse.
- 1:14:45I mean, that's fair, right? I mean, it was The CW show that
- 1:14:48they tried to force superheroes into instead of like a superhero
- 1:14:52show, right? Like a lot of the writing and
- 1:14:54like a lot of the acting was basically on par with like
- 1:14:58Vampire Diaries or something like that, right?
- 1:15:01Like teen drama with superheroes essentially.
- 1:15:04But I don't know. I like.
- 1:15:07I really like I like Gotham, but I know that wasn't their
- 1:15:11reverse. I loved Gotham.
- 1:15:14I just, but it's another show I just never finished because I
- 1:15:17think, I think, I think I didn't finish that show because like,
- 1:15:21because like they they're they're playing the hokey pokey
- 1:15:24with the time slot. I oh.
- 1:15:27Yeah, they did have something weird going on.
- 1:15:29I thought it was a strike cause one of the seasons was very
- 1:15:33short. Yeah, it could have been.
- 1:15:34It could have been the strike. If, if if it happened around the
- 1:15:37same time 'cause wasn't the RE, wasn't the reboot of V the
- 1:15:42series like also happening around the time I wasn't?
- 1:15:46Too familiar with that? Yeah, 'cause what's, what's her
- 1:15:50name? Marina Bachran.
- 1:15:52Yeah, Marina Bachran. What an Angel that woman is.
- 1:15:55Which device? But.
- 1:15:57Yeah. What's happening, Laurent?
- 1:16:01What are you listening to? I didn't even give, I didn't
- 1:16:03even give Google a prompt. Like I don't understand what's
- 1:16:05happening here. This is this is all that crazy
- 1:16:08talk about about AI and Google cancel.
- 1:16:15Jeez, Now I'm going to be afraid to go to bed tonight.
- 1:16:20They're ghosts. The AIS have taken over and
- 1:16:23haunt. Yeah, I mean, they have, but
- 1:16:28yeah, Gotham was good. I so the entire series was on
- 1:16:32Netflix for a long time, except for the last season because the
- 1:16:35last season was airing. And then when the last season
- 1:16:38was over, they pulled it off at Netflix.
- 1:16:39And then I never watched then I never watched the last season
- 1:16:42of. Jeez, how many seasons it would
- 1:16:45run for? 6 I think damn that was.
- 1:16:49That was a lot. Because Cameron Monahan was was
- 1:16:53was the joker. You know what?
- 1:16:56He's damn near probably one of the best jokers out.
- 1:17:01There, I know. And the cool thing is spoilers
- 1:17:03for Gotham, I guess if you haven't watched it.
- 1:17:05But like, he plays like multiple versions of the Joker and
- 1:17:08they're all pretty good. They're all different too, so.
- 1:17:13Yeah. He he went, he went from game.
- 1:17:19He basically was like the live version of Hamel and then he
- 1:17:23went Nicholson and then he went Ledger at the end.
- 1:17:29Yeah, yeah, they did. The weird one where he cuts his
- 1:17:32face off too. Mm hmm.
- 1:17:35That was well, he didn't cut his.
- 1:17:36Face off, but someone cut his face off for him.
- 1:17:39Yeah. Because yeah, they thought he
- 1:17:42spoilers, never mind tempting to.
- 1:17:45Stay awesome. 20 years old, 20 year old show.
- 1:17:53So I don't know, I what if Microsoft buys?
- 1:17:59They won't know what to do either.
- 1:18:03Oh, I kid, I kid. Oh, I left this in here.
- 1:18:10I didn't mean to leave this in here.
- 1:18:12Oops. Goodbye.
- 1:18:14Well, I suppose we should hit a quickie.
- 1:18:18Hit these quickies, right? Just hit them.
- 1:18:20Hit them real hard, real quick, right?
- 1:18:23Yeah. Yep.
- 1:18:25Ron, you look sad. What's wrong?
- 1:18:26What? What do you mean I look sad like
- 1:18:29I'm I was actually concentrating on the dock.
- 1:18:31What the? Hell yeah.
- 1:18:36You can't watch Gotham anywhere unless you pay for it.
- 1:18:40Thank you for thank you for noticing though, Corey.
- 1:18:43You're welcome. I'm here for you, Laron.
- 1:18:47I'll dry your tears. Speaking of tears, I cried tears
- 1:18:55of joy. What?
- 1:18:57What were you saying? You're really good for talking
- 1:19:02over me because you must have known I was about to say
- 1:19:03something, say something dirty. Nothing had five seasons.
- 1:19:10The last season was 12 episodes. Yeah, OK, so I watched The Four
- 1:19:15Seasons. Anyways, I cried tears of joy
- 1:19:22when they announced that Clear Obscure Expedition 33 is getting
- 1:19:25a free DLC update. I did too.
- 1:19:29I did too. For a game I haven't beaten yet.
- 1:19:33I was strong on that game. I don't understand.
- 1:19:35I don't understand why I ran out of Steam on it.
- 1:19:37I was strong on that game. Kim's amazing.
- 1:19:39Now I feel like if I pick it back up I'm have to start over
- 1:19:42from the beginning, which I do not want to do because that had
- 1:19:44that game had the longest start that I played.
- 1:19:49I feel like the beginning of that game is great.
- 1:19:52I feel like that intro is really strong.
- 1:19:56Well, OK, the the beginning, beginning part like until you
- 1:20:01get to the scene like it, it is kind of yeah.
- 1:20:10Like if you go and explore the town Lumiere before getting to
- 1:20:14that scene there. It it's slow, but then you get
- 1:20:18to the scene and then it's like, holy shit, what just happened?
- 1:20:22Oh, I, I think the beginning is like, great.
- 1:20:24And then after the scene is where it becomes like, OK, how
- 1:20:27do I get to the action faster? Well, it's fine.
- 1:20:34So I might I might be able to jump right back into it raw
- 1:20:36though, like I don't know. I'm I'm waiting for them to
- 1:20:39announce a switch to version. I'm like craving a switch to
- 1:20:43version even though I already have.
- 1:20:47I already feel so crazy. I have the Xbox physical version
- 1:20:52but like I also ordered the ordered that like they did the
- 1:20:58steel book. They redid the steel book
- 1:21:00version that's coming out in November.
- 1:21:02I guess I bought the, I bought the PlayStation version of that
- 1:21:07one, and then I have the Monolith edition coming whenever
- 1:21:11they decide to ship that, which I bought in July and it still
- 1:21:14hasn't shipped yet. Was the Limited run in charge of
- 1:21:17this? Jeez, yeah, three years from
- 1:21:20now. Maybe based on, you know this,
- 1:21:27Well, I don't know. I'm playing Clear River games
- 1:21:29actually, because they're the ones who didn't get the damn
- 1:21:31supplies out on time. I'm I'm so excited for this.
- 1:21:39New costumes, new environment, new enemies, late game battles,
- 1:21:44quality of life improvements. Do you think they'll add a mini
- 1:21:46map this time finally? That would be that would be
- 1:21:49nice. Quality of life improvement
- 1:21:51right there. That's really the that's like
- 1:21:53really my only complaint about that is that no mini map, but
- 1:22:01it's fine. Another quickie Shuhei, she just
- 1:22:05said Nintendo cancelling the Super Nintendo PlayStation
- 1:22:07helped Sony create the PlayStation.
- 1:22:11This is not news. I know, but he, he said it in an
- 1:22:14interview, which you hardly hear PlayStation people say that
- 1:22:18because they're trying to be cordial and respectful.
- 1:22:20By the way, since Shuhei has left PlayStation, he's been very
- 1:22:23vocal. Yes, yes.
- 1:22:25He didn't have to send any NDA, so he's free.
- 1:22:31Yeah, it's great. Joohay's great.
- 1:22:35Let's have him on the show. If you can get him, I have more
- 1:22:40power to us. Yeah, that'd be a ratings hit.
- 1:22:44Let's let's make it happen. Everybody out there it means.
- 1:22:49Usually that's like the pax is when he's around but I've never
- 1:22:52actually got and seen him. I know he was at PAX W when we
- 1:22:55went at the Indy booth, but he was busy.
- 1:23:00I was scared. Shoehay's too big.
- 1:23:03It's. Been the same thing about what's
- 1:23:10his face. I know I.
- 1:23:14Don't know General General Nelson.
- 1:23:17Major, Nelson, Major. Nelson, Thank you, Major Nelson
- 1:23:19Yep. And we got you to say hi to him.
- 1:23:24Oh yeah. Also last but not least,
- 1:23:32legendary movie poster artist Drew Struzan has passed away at
- 1:23:36the age of 78. This actually happened early
- 1:23:39last week, but we didn't get to this.
- 1:23:41If you don't know who he is, he's the artist behind a lot of
- 1:23:45iconic movie posters from like the 80s and the 90s, like even
- 1:23:49the 2000s. Like the Indiana Jones posters
- 1:23:52are probably his most iconic work in my opinion.
- 1:23:54But the. Star Wars ones, the back of the
- 1:23:56Future ones. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:23:59We, yeah, we mentioned John. Williams.
- 1:24:05Yeah. It's it's true.
- 1:24:06Look at the list all those John Williams movies.
- 1:24:09Yeah. Wait, back in the future?
- 1:24:12No. Yeah, I don't know back.
- 1:24:17To the future was John Williams, I thought.
- 1:24:19I've never seen back in the future, so I can't tell you
- 1:24:21who's. Scored Back to the Future.
- 1:24:27Well, Ellen? Sebastian.
- 1:24:31Yeah, that guy. Oh.
- 1:24:33No way. I don't know who any of these
- 1:24:37people are. It's fine.
- 1:24:40Yeah. I just, I've been wanting a
- 1:24:43entity and a Jones poster really bad, like looking online for
- 1:24:48them bad but I don't know if it'll ever happen.
- 1:24:53But it was sad because those his movie posters are just so
- 1:24:57iconic. He passed away from a battle
- 1:25:01with Alzheimer's. No joke.
- 1:25:07No joke. So Alzheimer's sucks.
- 1:25:11Yep, rest in peace. All right, Well, we're entering
- 1:25:21Halloween week. This be our last segment of the
- 1:25:24night because we don't have any questions.
- 1:25:25So we're going to do the rotating segment of the week
- 1:25:29because next week is get it together and Attaboy.
- 1:25:33So we're going to do a boss rush banter of the week revolving
- 1:25:37around Halloween. So we all like candy, we all
- 1:25:40like Halloween. You know, every October,
- 1:25:48Halloween shapes gaming habits. People revisit games like
- 1:25:54Resident Evil and Majora's Mask and Silent Hill and a lot of
- 1:25:59games that people feel are spooky for this type of season.
- 1:26:06Do we have any seasonal rituals or anything we do, gaming or
- 1:26:12otherwise, for Halloween besides the traditional trick or treat
- 1:26:17or costumes or whatnot? My normal, my normal ritual is
- 1:26:23to actually try and play a a survival horror scary type game
- 1:26:28throughout the month of October. Today is the 21st and I have not
- 1:26:33started that because I've been much more exciting games.
- 1:26:35I don't know. I don't know.
- 1:26:36Like there's a horror element of Final Fantasy Tactics.
- 1:26:38So yeah, there we go. Yes, that horror game Final
- 1:26:42Fantasy. It's called the.
- 1:26:45It's called the copy. It's so scary.
- 1:26:50Yeah. Yeah, maybe, maybe I will blow
- 1:26:54blow dust off the Dead Space remake.
- 1:26:56Or actually, I might play, I might play my favorite Dead
- 1:26:58Space game in the series, Dead Space 2, because I can, I can
- 1:27:02run. I can run through that silent.
- 1:27:04Hill F. Who What?
- 1:27:05Jump into Silent Hill F. No, I'm not a Silent Hill
- 1:27:08person, I'm sorry. Maybe Silent.
- 1:27:11Maybe Silent Hill too. Maybe Silent Hill too, because
- 1:27:13that's in my library. It's in his library, he says.
- 1:27:17Yeah, yeah. What do you want me?
- 1:27:21Do you want me to take a screenshot of my my my Steam
- 1:27:23page right now? I don't care what you do, do
- 1:27:26whatever you want you. Said that you said that like I
- 1:27:27was bullshitting just now. I didn't say a word, I was just
- 1:27:30commenting, Sir. In a judging manner.
- 1:27:36Yeah. Like.

- 1:27:58Laron did not say anything about hatred.
- 1:28:04What about you, Pat? You got any?
- 1:28:05You got any fun spooky traditions?
- 1:28:09I do focus on survival horror more during October.
- 1:28:12Like I start building up a list of like games that I plan on
- 1:28:17maybe playing during spoopy season.
- 1:28:20And I actually played quite a few this year.
- 1:28:25This year I played Kronos The New Dawn.
- 1:28:28I played Silent Hill. FI played this little zombie
- 1:28:32puzzler game called Gloomy Eyes. I played another indie titled
- 1:28:37that's based off of Steamboat Willie called Bad Cheese.
- 1:28:43I think I saw a preview of that somewhere.
- 1:28:46It's it's it's like kind of that 20s style animation, but it's
- 1:28:53like a first person shooter. But yeah.
- 1:28:56I have seen that. Perspective and it's got like
- 1:29:00Mickey Mouse, but Mickey Mouse is like a fat kid and Goofy is
- 1:29:05like the alcoholic dad that's, you know, got some really weird
- 1:29:10creep creepy factors going on. It's and then you fight other
- 1:29:15weird things that look like they came out of a horror Disney
- 1:29:18movie. What else did I play that's
- 1:29:22horror related? Hades 2.
- 1:29:25No, let's not really put that one there.
- 1:29:30Little nightmares too. I did Little Nightmares too as
- 1:29:32well. Yeah, No, you know, honestly, I
- 1:29:37kind of wanted to, I kind of want to finish up Luigi's
- 1:29:42Mansion 2. I might like pop that one back
- 1:29:47in here. Honestly, I kind of wanted to
- 1:29:49jump into Luigi's Mansion 3 again, though.
- 1:29:54Too many things out out there right now that I just, I need to
- 1:29:59it's, it's hard to focus on the new stuff versus what I kind of
- 1:30:02want to play. Do you know I hate that A.
- 1:30:08Lot of new stuff. There's a lot of new stuff.
- 1:30:13There is and Power wash simulator comes out in 2 days.
- 1:30:15So you know what? Everything goes when power wash
- 1:30:20comes out. Yeah, I know you're quite

- 1:30:32not even out yet. It's game.
- 1:30:33Of the bossy's over you heard it here first guys.
- 1:30:36Powerwash Simulator. In fact, it's going to be.
- 1:30:37Competing for game of the Decade with Power Wash Simulator.
