  Reports of my demise were extremely exaggerated.

• 1:46
  like like like beginning of the year.
• 1:49
  If for anyone that's out there that's watching the actual live
• 1:52
  feed, like you can tell I'm in a new location, that's because I

• 2:04
  geeky techie, you know, there's all sorts of stuff going on.
• 2:07
  You know, it's still got my array of, of, of handheld
• 2:11
  handheld devices. Got got computer stuff in the
• 2:16
  backdrop. Got got some, got some actual
• 2:18
  like, like nerdy posters, like like Marvel versus Capcom three
• 2:22
  poster back there. River City ransom poster right
• 2:26
  there. A hand, a hand painting of my
• 2:30
  favorite elder Dragon from Monster Hunter Kushalidar, which
• 2:33
  I think you can't see. I got to pan my camera up.
• 2:36
  You know what? I'm not going to do that.
• 2:39
  Yeah, there's some. Dangerous actor, That's what
• 2:41
  that means. It's probably a swing back there
• 2:44
  or something. No, more like more like more
• 2:48
  like an assault rifle. Lego Lego version of Assault.
• 2:51
  Rifle. Oh jeez.
• 2:55
  Oh boy. OK, on that note.
• 3:00
  Oh, I forgot, I forgot. It's YouTube.
• 3:03
  We can't, we can't just call out call out guns like that.
• 3:05
  So, you know, let's just call them force modifiers.
• 3:09
  I mean, I don't have anything. I, I have a bunch of Power
• 3:13
  Ranger laser guns back there, but that's, that's kind of it,
• 3:19
  you know? I got some finger guns.
• 3:21
  Pew Pew. That's.
• 3:25
  Going to be finger blasting you away, am I right?
• 3:30
  Got to use them somehow. Oh God, OK.
• 3:34
  There's a there's a lewd joke in there somewhere, I just can't
• 3:36
  think of it right now. Yeah, it's what happens when you
• 3:40
  get blasted. Anyways, enough of that.
• 3:48
  Oh man, I'm AI feel like it's, I feel like it's been a while
• 3:53
  since we've done this. It has been a while.
• 3:56
  Yeah. Just a bit.
• 3:59
  Yeah, we're, we're, we're still here.
• 4:03
  We're doing things. We.
• 4:05
  I have to tell you though, like taking a break was very good for
• 4:12
  the mind and the soul, very good for my my mental capacities of
• 4:21
  things. So I spent a lot of time buying
• 4:30
  toys. So what else is new?
• 4:34
  What else is new? Yeah.
• 4:36
  But these, this is like, yeah, I mean, yeah, it's been, it's been
• 4:42
  fun, it's been good. But I I spent I spent my break
• 4:45
  rebuilding my computer. Yeah, I know.
• 4:48
  The last time we tried to record, Laurent's computer was
• 4:51
  broken. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:57
  I, well, I had to. I had to rebuild it because like
• 5:00
  replacing it was too. It's too expensive right now,
• 5:02
  like with Ram. Jesus Christ.
• 5:05
  Yeah, everything's going up in price except for a Nintendo
• 5:09
  Switch. Apparently.
• 5:11
  Xbox is going to raise their price again soon.
• 5:13
  Playstation's talking about raising their prices again soon.
• 5:15
  Well, I mean, Nintendos are raising price of the Switch, the
• 5:18
  original Switch, once I I, I've, yeah.
• 5:21
  Nintendo, everybody already has one.
• 5:22
  So Nintendos would be winning so hard right now.
• 5:25
  They, they, they, they just dropped the price of the
• 5:27
  original Switch by a hundred $150.00.
• 5:29
  They would be winning all over again.
• 5:31
  Dude, remember when the new consoles would come out and the
• 5:34
  old consoles would drop to like 99 bucks?
• 5:37
  Remember the GameCube pyramids were like 504999 apiece and they
• 5:41
  couldn't give them away? Yeah man I wish I would have had
• 5:46
  money back then. I would have bought them all,
• 5:48
  sat on them for 20 years and sold them.
• 5:52
  I mean, GameCube was a hot commodity when when it dropped
• 5:56
  down to those low prices. Yeah, dude, I almost bought a
• 5:59
  second one. Yeah.
• 6:04
  Yeah, I mean, the GameCube was cheap anyway.
• 6:06
  Like it was 200 bucks anyway when it came out.
• 6:11
  Then it dropped to 9999, and then 4999, then silver ones.
• 6:18
  Silver. Black.
• 6:20
  I never like orange. I never like the silver one.
• 6:23
  I never liked it either. It's silver.
• 6:24
  The silver one looks so cheap. The purple one is the only one
• 6:27
  that counts. Yeah, it means you were there at
• 6:30
  launch. Yeah, I had AI had a black 1 and
• 6:33
  I almost got, I almost got a purple one.
• 6:34
  The orange one, the orange one was was very, was very, was very
• 6:37
  novel. Yeah.
• 6:39
  You could only get that in like very specific parts of the
• 6:42
  country and like Europe and stuff though.
• 6:45
  And I think the only reason, I think the only reason why the
• 6:47
  silver one came out is because they were trying to keep, they
• 6:50
  were trying to like keep with the with the GBA themes.
• 6:53
  Yeah, I mean, that that was smart.
• 6:56
  That would be that was smart though, because like the Gbas
• 6:59
  had to like you had to use the GBA to play certain games on the
• 7:02
  GameCube. Yeah, which I'm surprised it
• 7:04
  didn't come out. The indigo blue one, like the
• 7:06
  like, like, I'm sorry, the cobalt blue one, like the like
• 7:08
  the GBA, because those GB ASPs, Oh my God, like those things.
• 7:11
  Those things like cobalt ones, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:14
  Those things, those things, well.
• 7:16
  I mean, they probably would have if a the GameCube sold at all
• 7:22
  and the DS wasn't on the way because there was a there was a
• 7:28
  a blue DS, right? The launch colors were silver
• 7:31
  and blue, right? Of the fat, the fat, DSI think.
• 7:36
  I don't remember them being blue.
• 7:40
  I thought silver was silver. The only color, yeah.
• 7:45
  Maybe blue came later, maybe blue was part of the DS light
• 7:48
  line. I don't know, I don't remember.
• 7:51
  I knew there, I know there was ADSI and a DSIXL blue one, but I
• 7:55
  don't know, there's too many versions of these consoles to
• 7:58
  keep up anymore. Yeah.
• 8:00
  Yeah. The 3DS had a blue one for sure
• 8:02
  'cause I did get a blue three DSI.
• 8:06
  Feel like, I feel like I feel like Microsoft with their with
• 8:08
  their naming conventions basically, basically was trying
• 8:11
  to like do what Nintendo was doing back in the days.
• 8:13
  I mean, yeah, that's what they were doing.
• 8:15
  Nintendo's smart. Let's just copy them, oh man.
• 8:21
  Worked for Sony. At least, at least Sony just was
• 8:26
  like, our consoles are black and we're going to number them and
• 8:31
  you're going to like it. Yeah, the only, yeah, the only
• 8:35
  time, the only time, the only time Sony tried to be cute was
• 8:37
  with the handhelds, the the PS Plus, the Vita, you know, and
• 8:41
  who knows what, what would have been the next iteration, you
• 8:43
  know? The portal.
• 8:45
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I keep forgetting about that
• 8:47
  because I don't feel like this. It's not so much it's own
• 8:50
  console though that you know that's.
• 8:52
  The thing I know, but I know it's dumb, Yeah.
• 8:56
  I think. I think it's aptly.
• 8:57
  The attach rate's like 10 remote.
• 8:59
  The attach rate's like almost 10% though apparently.
• 9:02
  Huh. Which the attach rate for the
• 9:04
  portal's almost 10% apparently. Because you can play it in your
• 9:08
  bed. It's awesome.
• 9:10
  Yeah, but I play my Switch in bed.
• 9:13
  I play my Switch slash handheld Game Cube in bed.
• 9:17
  I play my wrong outline in. Bed.
• 9:21
  So why not play your portal in bed?
• 9:25
  I I know, I know, I know what you're saying.
• 9:27
  I just don't have a portal. That's all.
• 9:29
  I yeah, I don't look, if I'm going to spend $200, I'm going
• 9:32
  to not buy a portal. I'm going to buy two more sets
• 9:37
  of Power Rangers. That's your issue.
• 9:40
  I like my portal OK. It is a nice system and
• 9:44
  according to the the stats I think I played about 150 hours
• 9:48
  on it last year. My my main my main reason why I
• 9:52
  haven't gotten a portal honestly is because like I I realize I do
• 9:55
  not turn my PS-5 on enough. Yeah, that's.
• 9:59
  That's. That's the that's the major,
• 10:03
  that's the major reason, you know, like, you know, like and
• 10:06
  and now with like with like all the all the AAA Sony titles
• 10:11
  making their way to PC, you know, I mean, go see Yote is
• 10:15
  coming. Yeah, Wolverine will be there
• 10:20
  someday too. Yeah, well, I'm just looking at,
• 10:24
  I'm just looking at the games. They're, they're out right now,
• 10:26
  even though it feels like they kind of slowed down, which no,
• 10:29
  Sony, you should not slow down like you, like you want to, you
• 10:32
  want to press home, you know, whatever attack it is you're
• 10:35
  doing against Microsoft. Right now I don't think they've
• 10:37
  slowed down, I just think they're not putting games out
• 10:39
  fast enough to put them on PC. So that could be a two, that
• 10:42
  could be a 2, because you know what?
• 10:43
  Was. I mean, what was the last?
• 10:44
  It's they take all their studios and they literally say make one,
• 10:50
  take all your staff, make one game over the course of a
• 10:53
  decade. That is Sony's strategy and it
• 10:56
  sucks. Honest, honestly, that's a lot
• 10:59
  of studio strategies. I mean, I mean, I mean cuz, cuz,
• 11:03
  cuz I mean like Ubisoft is like is like biting the dust right
• 11:06
  now. They've got see.
• 11:09
  The way they divided their studio, Oh my God, they're,
• 11:12
  they're not their studio, but their whole company.
• 11:15
  Their company. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:18
  And Prince and Prince Purser remake was a casualty and I'm
• 11:21
  pissed Shocking like any like like that was that was probably
• 11:25
  the one time like Ubisoft would have gotten some money for me
• 11:29
  like really fast. They just need to re release
• 11:32
  that PS3 trilogy collection but like in 4K and that's.
• 11:37
  No, because they were because they were horrible problems with
• 11:39
  the set with the second Prince of Persia game I I wonder.
• 11:42
  Warrior Within is the best one. It had a dubbing problem.
• 11:47
  That's not my problem, I had fun playing it.
• 11:51
  I enjoyed it. I would put I'd play the heck
• 11:54
  out of that series again if we got them all.
• 11:56
  Wait dub dub? What do you mean dubbing
• 11:58
  problem? The Voi, the voices were not the
• 12:00
  voices in cinematics were not matching like the actual, the
• 12:03
  actual like like the the you see them.
• 12:08
  It was, it was almost like like old school, like Kung Fu movies.
• 12:12
  Like you see the mouth moves and then you'd hear the words and I
• 12:14
  was like, huh. Dude, what's PS2 GameCube game?
• 12:20
  It's not like we're dealing with like a $325 million budget here.
• 12:24
  Santa time was perfect though with with their dubbing like So
• 12:27
  what happened? They said they put a hot woman
• 12:31
  in the game half naked. You didn't pay attention to the
• 12:34
  mouths, you paid attention to other things.
• 12:37
  The Pantaloons. The Pantaloons.
• 12:43
  Wow. This is waiting for Monster
• 12:46
  Hunter Stories 3. Coming up.
• 12:48
  Which is which is which is reminding me I need to I need to
• 12:50
  get back and finish Monster Hunter Stories 2.
• 12:55
  Yeah, there's a lot of games I need to play, but I've been
• 12:57
  playing Fire Emblem on GameCube for 30 something hours, so.
• 13:00
  Hey Core, Hey Corey, if you you never beat Monster Run Stories
• 13:03
  2, right? I did not.
• 13:06
  Let's do this, let's do this. Let's let's set a date, let's
• 13:10
  start playing Monster Run Stories 2 together, and then
• 13:13
  let's see if we can beat it around the same time.
• 13:17
  So like 2 years from now? No, no, no.
• 13:20
  We have to make an honest effort to try and beat it before.
• 13:22
  The you want, you want to do. Oh God, the third one comes out
• 13:25
  in like a month. Is that true?
• 13:27
  Third one comes out in five weeks, guys, Yeah.
• 13:30
  OK, OK, come on. Mission accepted.
• 13:33
  Let's do this, Corey. Mark Corey, come.
• 13:43
  On. Come on.
• 13:44
  I'm, I'm, I'm busy fighting birds and tigers right now, OK?
• 13:51
  Hey, hey, if you do it for me, I'll do it for you.
• 13:53
  You. Know how many times women have
• 13:57
  said that to me? Oh, that was a bad.
• 14:06
  That was very bad. That was that was very bad.
• 14:09
  But I'm glad you leaned into it. That's what I do, you know.
• 14:15
  You picked up. You picked up on the innuendo.
• 14:17
  Yeah, I did better than picking something else up from some of
• 14:22
  these women. Anyway.
• 14:26
  Man, I sound like a sexist asshole right now.
• 14:31
  Anyway, on that note, I guess to get myself out of trouble, who's
• 14:38
  who's playing what, Pat, What are you playing?
• 14:40
  You play a lot of games. Pat, go first.
• 14:44
  Yeah, no man, we haven't talked games here in a, in a long time.
• 14:48
  Like I, I've been like working on different gaming strategies
• 14:52
  of like what I want to do for 2026.
• 14:54
  And you know, I, I'm definitely trying to do more backlog stuff
• 14:58
  and maybe less buying of the new stuff unless it's something I
• 15:01
  absolutely have to have right away and then just get the other
• 15:06
  stuff when it's cheaper. But I did pick up one game this
• 15:13
  this last month called Escape From Ever After.
• 15:16
  It is an indie game that follows in the vein of Paper Mario.
• 15:24
  Oh. It's a Paper Mario.
• 15:26
  It's a Paper Mario style game. Yeah, I thought it was like a
• 15:29
  weird multiplayer game. Nope, not this one.
• 15:33
  This one's Paper Mario clone. If you played a Paper Mario
• 15:38
  game, this is exactly what you're playing.
• 15:40
  You're you got the RPG turn based battles where you have to
• 15:45
  hit a action button or do some like little control maneuvers
• 15:50
  and able to get more power to your attacks or more defense to
• 15:53
  your blocks. But the story about this is you
• 15:57
  play as a character from a storybook and on his quest to
• 16:03
  slay the evil dragon, he finds out that a corporation has come
• 16:07
  in and basically looted everything out, took over and
• 16:15
  put all the fairy tale characters as or hired them all
• 16:19
  as office workers. So and able to figure out how to
• 16:24
  get this corporation gone, you had to pick up a job in IT and
• 16:31
  work your way up the corporate ladder.
• 16:36
  That sounds fun. It is a.
• 16:37
  Very, it is actually a very fun game.
• 16:40
  It's got a lot of creativity in the humor.
• 16:43
  Like the humor is the best part of this game.
• 16:46
  Anyone who's ever worked in a corporate environment would feel
• 16:50
  right at home. Like with things like, you know,
• 16:53
  let's put a pin in it. Let's circle back.
• 16:55
  You know this, we're going to have team building exercises and
• 17:01
  you know, stuff like that. You know, it's kind of funny
• 17:06
  when you have a team building exercise using the trust ladder
• 17:10
  and Humpty Dumpty is like one of the people who's, you know, get
• 17:14
  a jump for, you know, trust that someone's good to catch him.
• 17:19
  Let let me just tell you, it doesn't end well.
• 17:24
  Nice sounds fun. It looks it looked cool.
• 17:27
  I just I didn't I thought it was there must be another like fairy
• 17:31
  tale multiplayer game that's coming out soon because like I
• 17:34
  thought this was like the like the the multiplayer fairy tale
• 17:37
  game. So yeah.
• 17:39
  I'm not sure which one you're talking about, but this is
• 17:41
  definitely not the multiplayer one.
• 17:43
  This is the Paper Mario RPG one and.
• 17:46
  It's like Paper Mario. Count me in.
• 17:49
  Oh, it's, it's good. Like I've very much enjoyed what
• 17:53
  I've played so far. It, it takes a nice spin on
• 17:57
  various tales that we know. And it's not just fairy tales.
• 18:01
  Like one of the levels that you go to is Lovecraftian.
• 18:05
  So you got a whole bunch of like other older gods and Cthulhu and
• 18:11
  cults. So it's, it's definitely worth
• 18:15
  checking out. Probably been one of my favorite
• 18:18
  games I've played this year. And I am also working through
• 18:23
  my, my backlog and just kind of picking games that, you know,
• 18:28
  I've been like meaning to get back to and finish.
• 18:33
  Right now I am currently working on Watchdogs Legion, a game that
• 18:38
  came out about 5-6 years ago and what's crazy is how relevant it
• 18:47
  is today now. Like they were like they
• 18:51
  predicted some near future like issues going on with things with
• 18:57
  AI and immigration and just the government kind of taking like a
• 19:08
  more of an authoritative stance. Private military acting as a
• 19:12
  police force. There's AII was kind of like
• 19:17
  shocked just how accurate it is right now.
• 19:24
  Interesting. Yeah, overall, it's it's a it's
• 19:30
  OK of a game. Like it's not the greatest, It's
• 19:34
  definitely not my favorite of the Watchdogs, but it it was
• 19:39
  very ambitious at the time because it had that system where
• 19:43
  you chose or you don't have a protagonist per SE.
• 19:47
  You start off with a team of three random people that you can
• 19:50
  select and then your goal is or how you you can build up a team
• 19:55
  by recruiting anyone that's on the map.
• 20:00
  Well, that's cool. And each person has skills.
• 20:03
  They also might have disadvantages.
• 20:08
  It's kind of funny because one person I was looking into
• 20:10
  recruiting for achievement purposes is a living statue.
• 20:16
  And that you know, does the living statue for for a living
• 20:20
  and it's supposed to help evade detection.
• 20:25
  Not evade detection, but when you're being pursued, it's
• 20:28
  supposed to help evade pursuit. However, this person also had a
• 20:33
  flaw. They were flatulent and it made
• 20:37
  them easier to detect. This is like this is like Johnny
• 20:41
  Sasaki and Metal Gear Solid all over again.
• 20:44
  Yeah, it's like, well, you're not going to be the best at
• 20:48
  hiding if you fart and all of a sudden someone finds you.
• 20:54
  Yes, yes. Mm.
• 20:56
  Hmm. But yeah, it it's got some
• 21:01
  interesting take takes on AI now that AI has been more
• 21:06
  mainstream. And it definitely wasn't as
• 21:09
  mainstream as it was, you know, when this game first came out.
• 21:13
  But in this society, everyone uses an AI.
• 21:17
  It takes place in London. The big AI there is called
• 21:21
  Bagley that like everyone uses. And you're the, your hacker
• 21:26
  group actually has like a hacked version of the Bagley app.
• 21:30
  And it's a it's interesting. And you know, I'm just going to
• 21:35
  kind of work through it and hopefully I can beat it.
• 21:37
  Otherwise, you know, I lately I've just kind of don't care if
• 21:41
  I, you know, complete a game or not.
• 21:43
  I'm, I'm going to play games to have fun with them.
• 21:49
  That is a goal to have fun with what I have.
• 21:55
  Nice, awesome. Yeah, Check out our Check out
• 22:02
  the games cast with Daryl Talks games.
• 22:07
  Yeah, that one, he's got a recently, so.
• 22:11
  Yeah, it's, it's, it's got a very, he's got a very good
• 22:15
  psychological look at attacking the backlog.
• 22:20
  He he likes to mix a lot of psychology and video games
• 22:23
  together, so. Yeah, nice.
• 22:27
  We've story and I and Steph all learned a lot from him.
• 22:31
  Nice, Laurent, what about you? What are you doing with your
• 22:36
  life? Well, let's see.
• 22:38
  Well, right now, right now, right now, I'm playing Front
• 22:43
  Mission 3 Remake because it finally came out in PC this
• 22:45
  week, so yeah. So, yeah, and you know, like, I
• 22:50
  don't care what all the people who've done reviews on this
• 22:53
  stuff say this is this is nostalgia for me and I'm
• 22:55
  enjoying every bit of the game right now.
• 22:56
  I don't I don't see what all these flaws are They were
• 22:58
  talking about apparently. Apparently when we lost on
• 23:00
  Switch, like there were some there were some flaws, whatnot.
• 23:03
  But you know, like I. I've heard it's a buggy mess,
• 23:05
  kind of like every other one that they've released.
• 23:08
  The only bug, the only bug I've run into so far is I had one.
• 23:12
  It's only happened to me once one time in the middle, in the
• 23:15
  middle of combat, like like the game, the game has a tell where
• 23:20
  like it slows down when you have when you have like a hit that
• 23:23
  that's going to like completely ruin somebody's Amex body part.
• 23:28
  That's a tell. Like that's, that's a tell that
• 23:30
  you know, like you just, you just wreck somebody stuff.
• 23:34
  I had one time, though, where the game where the game like
• 23:37
  held so long that I was like, Oh, I have to reset because like
• 23:41
  it just didn't move. You know, it's the only time
• 23:43
  I've had in like the like the last, I don't know how many
• 23:46
  hours up in the game because like I've been, I've been in the
• 23:48
  simulator right now just trying to unlock everybody's skills
• 23:51
  before. Like I get to like, so I get to
• 23:53
  like deep into like chapter 1. Like you guys know me.
• 23:57
  I'm I'm, I'm like not a completionist, but I'm like a
• 24:00
  I'm like a torture myself type of guy.
• 24:03
  You. Basically, maximize yourself
• 24:05
  right at the beginning and just, you know, you did the exact same
• 24:08
  thing with Final Fantasy Tactics.
• 24:10
  Exactly Yeah, yeah. So so yeah, front mission 3 is
• 24:13
  my current thing right now. Of course I'm still playing of
• 24:15
  course I'm still playing Tekken 8 like season 3 is getting ready
• 24:18
  to roll out real soon here. And I did finally I did finally
• 24:22
  make I've I've attained the highest rank that I've attained
• 24:24
  ever in playing Tekken since Tekken had online ranking.
• 24:27
  I've made Tekken Emperor, which I know you guys do not know what
• 24:30
  the hell that is, but I don't give give a shit about it.
• 24:32
  But that's the cheap for me because that's literally like 4
• 24:34
  ranks higher than the than the highest rank I attained in
• 24:37
  Tekken 7 so I'm happy. Well, they can't call you the
• 24:41
  King of Fighters. Well, no, I've already I've no
• 24:47
  Tekken Emperor comes after Tekken King, so I've already
• 24:49
  been Tekken King. You.
• 24:52
  Didn't get the joke. I know.
• 24:54
  I got the, I got the joke. It's the king of fighter.
• 24:56
  It's the King of King of Fighting tournament, I know.
• 25:00
  And also King of Fighters, the S&K series.
• 25:02
  I know. There we go.
• 25:04
  Stop it, you know? Yeah.
• 25:06
  And then and then the final. The final.
• 25:11
  Well, there's one more title update for Monster Hunter Wilds.
• 25:14
  But this last title update that came out that that dropped, that
• 25:17
  dropped the first official Elder Dragon back into the game.
• 25:22
  And then Capcom was like, hey, PC players, we fixed your game
• 25:26
  and we're like, no, no, no, you didn't.
• 25:27
  And then we turned it on and was like, oh holy crap, the game
• 25:30
  plays well now. Wasn't it called like the
• 25:33
  optimization update or something?
• 25:35
  That's yeah, that's literally what that wasn't the Internet.
• 25:38
  That's what the Internet has has nicknamed it the game.
• 25:42
  The game is playing better than the last time me, Matt and Andre
• 25:46
  played together and we the four, the three of us have not played
• 25:50
  together in like 5 months. Yeah, because of course all
• 25:57
  those guys playing on console and I'm and I'm the schlep
• 26:00
  that's playing on PC. Wait they're playing on console?
• 26:03
  I thought they were playing on like steam Deck.
• 26:05
  No, well, Andre can't play. Well, actually, it's performing
• 26:08
  better on Steam Deck now because of whatever Capcom did.
• 26:12
  It's playing better on Steam Deck.
• 26:13
  I haven't attempted to try it on ROG Ally because I'm because I'm
• 26:16
  like, you know what? You kind of upset me the very
• 26:19
  first week I tried it on the ROG Ally and I'm like, no, like,
• 26:23
  but, but yeah, no, Andre is playing it on.
• 26:25
  Andre is playing it on. He's he's playing it on PS-5.
• 26:29
  Yeah. Everybody's playing on PS-5
• 26:31
  except for me. And I was like, I refuse to buy
• 26:33
  the console version because I don't have PS-5 Pro.
• 26:35
  That's the only way I was going to play it if I was going to
• 26:36
  play it on PS-5. Yeah.
• 26:39
  And I was like, I have APC, so whatever.
• 26:41
  You know, I just, I just dealt with it, you know.
• 26:44
  But yeah, Monster in the Wild is playing fine now, you know,
• 26:48
  like, and, and it's supposed to get better because Capcom says
• 26:51
  Capcom has said for the for the rest, for the rest of this year,
• 26:54
  they're going to be aggressive about like, fixing the
• 26:57
  performance issues on the PC side mainly.
• 27:01
  Corey, Yeah. Last we talked, you were playing
• 27:04
  Luminescent Rise. Me.
• 27:07
  Yeah, weren't you? No.
• 27:09
  No. So the last show we the show,
• 27:13
  the last show we had last year, you were you did not mention you
• 27:15
  were playing Luminescent Rise at all because I've.
• 27:18
  Never played. I've never played Luminous.
• 27:19
  Ever. Who the hell was playing?
• 27:21
  It was a you bat. I think, I mean I've dabbled in
• 27:25
  the demo but that was like. OK, A.
• 27:27
  While back when the demo dropped.
• 27:29
  Wasn't. Wait, wasn't Ed on the last
• 27:31
  episode? Maybe he was.
• 27:33
  Yeah, it might have. Been Ed?
• 27:34
  Yeah. It might have been Ed.
• 27:34
  It might have been Ed. I just wonder.
• 27:35
  It was you. But yeah, I'm sorry, Corey.
• 27:38
  I've been playing Luminous Horizon.
• 27:40
  Woof. Oh, my God.
• 27:42
  OK. I mean, it's cool.
• 27:44
  It is cool. Yeah.
• 27:45
  The last time I played the last Luminous game I played was back
• 27:48
  when I was on PS3. So so yeah, it's a whole
• 27:52
  different experience now playing it in 240 Hertz on like a like a
• 27:56
  49 inch ultra wide monitor and all this stuff and like HDR and
• 28:01
  like colors and flashing lights and all and and and like and
• 28:04
  like high definition music and all this stuff.
• 28:06
  No, it's it's fun, but it but who talk about overstimulated.
• 28:12
  It's a good game, though. It's a good game.
• 28:14
  You know, I'm like, yeah, let me install this in the wrong ally.
• 28:17
  We play like how I used to play it back in the day on on a
• 28:20
  handheld because this is blowing my mind right now.
• 28:26
  So but yeah, those so yeah, those three games alone,
• 28:31
  Luminescent Rise, Front Mission 3 remake, you know, and Monster
• 28:35
  Hunter Wilds, you know, like that's that's been my comfort,
• 28:39
  you know, for for the past few weeks and everything.
• 28:42
  A brand new Star Trek show started off early January.
• 28:48
  Star Trek Starfleet Academy. I love it, you know, if you.
• 28:52
  If you if you're a. Person that's that's one of a a
• 28:56
  good starting point for Star Trek this is this is your point
• 28:59
  right here. This is pretty good, you know
• 29:01
  how and it you don't have to do a lot of homework on what Star
• 29:06
  Trek is because like it's doing a good job of like filling in
• 29:08
  the lore, but it's also like pretty good show.
• 29:11
  And before and and before anyone says it's Beverly Hills 9-O21-O
• 29:15
  and Star Trek. No, it's not.
• 29:17
  No, it's not just it's it's. Somebody said they CWD my Star
• 29:20
  Trek. I'm like.
• 29:21
  I've heard that. I've heard that too.
• 29:23
  I. Understand what that means, but
• 29:25
  also what the hell does that mean?
• 29:28
  Yeah, I've, I've heard that too. But but yeah, and then and then
• 29:32
  and then I managed to watch a current movie, Predator
• 29:35
  Badlands, you know, over the over the break.
• 29:39
  Good movie. I I love it, but I also I also
• 29:45
  had I also had my reservations on it.
• 29:48
  Let's just put it that way. Good movie, though.
• 29:49
  I'd recommend anyone see it, you know, like it's definitely, it's
• 29:52
  definitely trying to launch its own thing.
• 29:54
  But but the director, Dan Trachtenberg has been doing a
• 29:57
  phenomenal job with with the with the predator, with the
• 30:01
  predator storylines because he did the predator predator.
• 30:05
  What was the IT was the the animated movie?
• 30:09
  I didn't know there was an animated Predator movie.
• 30:12
  Yeah, that, that's, that's, that's some good shit.
• 30:15
  The only the only thing I've ever seen is Prey Alien versus.
• 30:20
  Prey, Yeah, the yeah, Prey was Prey was the first.
• 30:23
  Prey was the first movie Dan Trachtenberg did.
• 30:26
  Predator Killer or Killers came out, came out last year.
• 30:29
  It's an animated movie and it is it is good.
• 30:32
  It it it basically it basically tracks 3 heroes across across
• 30:37
  three different three different eras of of predators coming to
• 30:40
  earth and doing stuff. And then and then by by twist of
• 30:44
  fate, those three, those three warriors wind up on the yacht at
• 30:48
  home world to fight each other and they wind up they wind up
• 30:51
  hatching a plan to to escape. I've already I've already given
• 30:54
  enough of the plot away, you know, for killer killers.
• 30:57
  But but if you stick around till the end, you see a whole bunch
• 31:01
  of Easter eggs from air from previous predator movies across
• 31:04
  across time. And so, yeah, Trachtenberg did
• 31:09
  Trachtenberg did that after doing doing prey, which I also
• 31:13
  saw. I saw prey when I when I was
• 31:16
  when I went home South Carolina for for Christmas.
• 31:19
  And I was like, OK, yeah, let me, let me catch up on this
• 31:22
  stuff. And so, yeah, so I saw, so I saw
• 31:25
  Predator Badlands and yeah, Trachtenberg is on to something
• 31:27
  here. And, and there's a, there's
• 31:29
  another, he's doing another Predator movie right now.
• 31:32
  He's he's directing it right now.
• 31:35
  So yeah, that's the one. That has Eli Eli fanning in it,
• 31:38
  right? Or.
• 31:38
  El El Fanning. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:41
  Which by the way, like I I'm not really a big fan of hers, but
• 31:44
  she did a phenomenal job in this movie.
• 31:49
  She did a phenomenal job in Death Stranding too.
• 31:53
  See, I haven't played death training too, so I wouldn't
• 31:55
  know. Yeah, yeah, that's, so that's,
• 32:01
  that's my entire catalog of of of of new and interesting stuff
• 32:04
  I did with some old stuff along the way.
• 32:07
  Nice. As for me, I guess so.
• 32:15
  I've been playing a lot of Fire Emblem Path of Radiance on the
• 32:19
  GameCube. And so really man, I forgot how
• 32:27
  phenomenal that game is, but also how insanely difficult that
• 32:31
  game is because it doesn't have any of the quality of life
• 32:35
  things that obviously newer versions have like, oh, I don't
• 32:39
  know, the paralog grind. Like so you can grind out levels
• 32:42
  or, you know, side quests or anything.
• 32:45
  It's just straight up mission based and you better figure it
• 32:48
  out. And if you under level your
• 32:50
  characters, you're just going to be screwed.
• 32:52
  And so like I'm meticulously like going through and trying to
• 32:55
  kill every enemy going in every level just so I can stay leveled
• 33:00
  up. But also I'm trying to make sure
• 33:01
  I have a good balance of characters that I'm leveling up.
• 33:06
  I know I don't need everybody to be the same level.
• 33:08
  So I've kind of formed my party already to like, these are the
• 33:14
  characters I'm using. I'm making sure I have at least
• 33:17
  like, you know, and and and what's good is like both of my I
• 33:23
  guess what you would the black magic users now know heal so
• 33:28
  they can heal me now. So like I can have three healers
• 33:31
  on the field at the same time. Now there are other ones, but
• 33:36
  they were so under leveled when I got there and I'm like I'm not
• 33:39
  even going to bother trying to level you up the.
• 33:42
  Best. The best characters are always
• 33:43
  under leveled, that's why they have the best.
• 33:46
  I know I well, the, the girl the sister missed like when she
• 33:55
  comes into your party, she's like, I was like already maxed
• 33:58
  out level with Ike by the time she got into my party.
• 34:01
  I'm like, I'm not even going to like bother.
• 34:03
  I have three other healers right now.
• 34:08
  Now, that would be one of those cases where if you were the kind
• 34:11
  of person who didn't care about the perma death, you know, and
• 34:14
  maybe lost a healer along the way, there's your backup.
• 34:18
  Yeah, yeah, plus like I found out like pretty early on too
• 34:23
  that Mist is like one of the characters that never dies
• 34:26
  because she's important to the story.
• 34:28
  So spoilers, I guess if you're he's got an applies.
• 34:32
  Yeah, 25 year old game. But like, I really like the
• 34:40
  story that they're telling and like how they're telling it
• 34:42
  because it's like a story about slavery and racism and, and
• 34:48
  conquering like the world and like this really strange old
• 34:54
  way, but not forced, forcing it down your face.
• 34:58
  You know, I really like the the, what are they called?
• 35:03
  The Lagoos? People like the I like the
• 35:06
  beasts. They are really good in combat,
• 35:09
  especially when you get them special abilities.
• 35:12
  They can attack twice. The one can actually attack up
• 35:16
  to three times. I think especially if you give
• 35:21
  it that counter ability. It's just, it's really fun to go
• 35:30
  back and revisit this game now that I'm like, I know like what
• 35:33
  Fire Emblem is because at the time I hadn't really played a
• 35:36
  strategy RPG before because I never played like Tactics Ogre
• 35:39
  or Final Fantasy Tactics up to that point.
• 35:41
  So it was really my introduction to that.
• 35:48
  And so now going back to it, it's like, oh man, this game,
• 35:52
  this game did a lot to what the series is now.
• 35:56
  And I don't think, I don't think that or Radiant Dawn get enough
• 35:59
  credit for like really implementing that kind of rock,
• 36:05
  paper, scissors style of combat. So yeah, sorry, Pat.
• 36:15
  I felt like I kept interrupting you.
• 36:17
  I felt like you're going to say something.
• 36:19
  Nah Nah, you're fine. Firearms good stuff like I I
• 36:24
  agree the the older ones are hard, but they they definitely
• 36:28
  have a lot of history to them and like they had like the best
• 36:36
  paper rock scissors battle system out of like any game.
• 36:42
  Yeah, and also too, like the fact that it has like CG
• 36:46
  cutscenes and voice acting when Nintendo even, especially back
• 36:52
  then wasn't doing it right, like was like, Oh my gosh.
• 36:55
  It's like cool to see that even though it's early and going to
• 37:00
  be honest, the voice acting is kind of bad in the cutscenes,
• 37:02
  but whatever. There's not very much of it, but
• 37:05
  it's just like, you know, really interesting to see Nintendo try
• 37:10
  something with something like fire movement, not Zelda or
• 37:15
  something, you know, But yeah, that's that's actually kind of
• 37:20
  all I've really been playing aside from like the typical
• 37:24
  Mario Kart and Mario party with my kids and Ninja Turtles and
• 37:27
  Power Rangers and whatever they want to play at the time.
• 37:32
  Firearm spend my go to game. It's funny, my in game clock
• 37:35
  says like 20 something hours like 21 or 22 hours, but my game
• 37:40
  cube app and the the app on my phone says it's closer to like
• 37:44
  35 because I keep restarting. I keep like suspending and
• 37:49
  restarting and going back and like trying to figure it out how
• 37:52
  to optimize the run on that level without dying.
• 37:56
  So, so that's, that's also kind of it.
• 38:02
  I, I bought a bunch of bookshelves and I put them
• 38:04
  together and I kind of rearranged my office a little
• 38:07
  bit just to have a bigger, nicer, cleaner space to display
• 38:12
  things. So that's, yeah, that's kind of
• 38:18
  what I've been been playing. I don't know anybody, anybody
• 38:24
  pick anything up that they want to show off before we move
• 38:28
  along, move along. I don't have anything special to
• 38:32
  show. Lame.
• 38:35
  I showed my special thing off yesterday.
• 38:42
  That person was very lucky. This is my shelf over here, my
• 38:47
  Power Ranger shelf. I bought a bunch of Power
• 38:50
  Rangers and I completed a bunch of sets that I spent a lot of
• 38:55
  money on, but it's fine. Nice to see you use using
• 39:00
  leisure time. Yeah, You know, I like to pose
• 39:04
  them. I like to look at them.
• 39:05
  You know, my kids like to try to play with them when I'm not
• 39:08
  around and I catch them and get mad at them because they're,
• 39:11
  they're the collector ones. They're not like the playable
• 39:13
  ones. It's like these are daddy's
• 39:16
  toys. You do not touch daddy's toys.
• 39:19
  Yeah, yeah. So also I like bought a bunch of
• 39:25
  parts to fix my son's like some of his robots and like I had
• 39:30
  enough parts to basically build my another set.
• 39:33
  So I have them on display up there too.
• 39:37
  So very, I don't know, I've been very nostalgic lately.
• 39:43
  Just really like going back in time.
• 39:47
  Maybe it's because I'm going to turn 40 this year.
• 39:49

• 46:04
  It's so funny this game on on Switch 2 doesn't didn't have a
• 46:07
  price listed. Oh, it did.
• 46:09
  Yesterday, yeah, when we were when Ed and I did power block
• 46:12
  yesterday, it didn't, It still didn't have a price listed and
• 46:17
  it comes out tomorrow or Friday. Like it?
• 46:19
  I'm like how you supposed to like, I don't know man.
• 46:23
  Like can we push the 80 bucks? Can we?
• 46:27
  Can we? Right.
• 46:30
  I mean, yeah. Trying to figure out if they
• 46:31
  could do that. I mean there is.
• 46:33
  There's also, there's also a notable mention for today like
• 46:36
  it's anthem #9 which is turn based deck building, rogue
• 46:38
  light, rogue light, where you complete secret missions to
• 46:41
  maintain balance in the world. That's about all I'm going to
• 46:44
  say cause 'cause Corey's already gotten glossy eyed as soon as I
• 46:47
  said deck building and rogue light.
• 46:50
  What? What is this?
• 46:52
  No. Anthem #9 yeah, it, yeah, it's
• 46:58
  from Shoe Asia Games, you know, like the, like the, the, the,
• 47:01
  the anime studio that, you know, produces all their stuff.
• 47:04
  You know, it's available on PC though.
• 47:07
  Jeez. Well I think Dragon Quest 7 is
• 47:18
  probably the game the our audience is probably going to
• 47:21
  learn more towards. Although three I am interested
• 47:24
  to see how that does cause neo 1 was like a lot of people liked
• 47:28
  neo one but I feel like neo 2 was like a soft seller.
• 47:32
  Yeah, I was going to ask, I was going to ask you guys which,
• 47:34
  which ones did you have your eyes on the most?
• 47:36
  Like, I'm not really, you guys know me at this point.
• 47:38
  I'm not really a big RPG guy. So, you know, like Dragon Quest
• 47:41
  7 reimagined. Well, would, would immediately
• 47:43
  go into my backlog if I did pick it up.
• 47:46
  Yeah, I've never, if I'm playing a golf game, it's either Mario
• 47:51
  Golf or Hotshots Golf. I've never really been in.
• 47:53
  I've never really been in the big simulation like golf games.
• 47:56
  So for me, it'd probably be Neo 3 on this list.
• 48:00
  Well, I have beat both the original Dragon Quest 7 or back
• 48:05
  when it was called Dragon Warrior 7 and the Dragon Quest 7
• 48:09
  on the 3DS, so I will of course be picking this one up as well.
• 48:13
  In fact, it's already downloaded on my system.
• 48:17
  As for NIO three, I am probably not going to pick this one up
• 48:21
  right away, but I have been hearing it is probably the best
• 48:25
  NIO game that they've made so far.
• 48:27
  Like this game is getting hot reviews?
• 48:36
  Yeah, I, I can't hate on it. I I can't.
• 48:40
  Yeah, I mean, I I think these games always look fun and
• 48:42
  interesting. And then I realized that it's
• 48:45
  just it's just super fast-paced Dark Souls essentially mixed
• 48:50
  with Ninja Gaiden. And I'm like, man, I don't know
• 48:53
  if I'm even I can even handle that right now.
• 48:56
  Like, I don't know, maybe I'll pick it.
• 48:59
  This this might be 1 I pick up on a sale or something because I
• 49:04
  did I what I play to the first one I did really like.
• 49:07
  It was just extremely hard. Yeah, so.
• 49:12
  People think the second one was actually harder than Secaro so
• 49:18
  that that said something. That's that sounds difficult.
• 49:24
  Yeah, but I did dabble a little bit in three on their very first
• 49:28
  demo, and I did like what I saw. The switching between the
• 49:33
  classes felt pretty natural and you know, it, they they changed
• 49:40
  it up by adding a whole open world.
• 49:42
  It's Elden Ring now, but in Japan.
• 49:50
  Well, we'll see. We'll see how it does.
• 49:52
  I hope it does well because you know, the series, I feel like
• 49:58
  Dark Souls needs a Fromsoft needs a proper competitor,
• 50:03
  right? And I feel like Neo is the
• 50:04
  closest thing that comes to comes the closest to being a
• 50:09
  complete competitor to Fromsoft. So but Dragon Quest 7 for me
• 50:16
  looks probably the best on this list for me, but I won't be
• 50:22
  picking up because I'm too busy playing old games so.
• 50:29
  This is an old game, just with. A new game.
• 50:32
  I know, I know. I realized that as soon as I
• 50:35
  said that, but yeah, anyways, let's.
• 50:43
  I mean, February, February is going to be an awesome month
• 50:45
  though, because like there's a there's a much anticipated game
• 50:48
  coming out late late this month. Please don't say anything.
• 50:52
  Anticipated game coming out later this month.
• 50:55
  There's a lot of those. Mario Tennis fever The Ron's
• 50:59
  excited for Mario Tennis. Actually, you know what?
• 51:03
  I've always liked the Mario tennis games.
• 51:05
  I've always liked them, you know, and, and even though I've
• 51:08
  already heard like a lot of people saying like this is just
• 51:12
  another pad filler game, you know, in the in the Mario sports
• 51:15
  series, I think I'm going to pick this up.
• 51:19
  I don't get. A pass on that.
• 51:24
  Yeah, I don't. I don't know, man.
• 51:25
  The last the last Mario Tennis in Mario Golf games.
• 51:29
  Well, really, the last two entries of each one were like
• 51:32
  pretty. Yeah, so.
• 51:33
  Yeah, and we're not even going to talk about Mario Strikers.
• 51:38
  Yeah, I didn't even pick up Mario Strikers.
• 51:41
  Look man, I'm just waiting for them to add a Mario Golf
• 51:43
  Toadstool Tour to the Game Cube NSL, then we'll be fine.
• 51:46
  Yeah. That was the last good Mario
• 51:48
  Golf game. I stand by it.
• 51:52
  I still get. Off Camelot.
• 51:54
  I still love I still love the Mario, the Mario golf that was
• 51:58
  on the GB AI do love that game. Oh yeah, the RPG style 1.
• 52:03
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was pretty good.
• 52:08
  Yep. All right.
• 52:12
  Well, oh, oh, pause. Oh.
• 52:14
  Boy, here we go. Can I, can I ask you guys?
• 52:16
  Can I ask you guys a question? How'd y'all feel about Prime 4?
• 52:22
  I liked it. I liked what I played, but I
• 52:25
  kind of fell off of it to be honest.
• 52:27
  Was there a reason why you fell off or was it?
• 52:29
  Yeah, firearm came out. OK, OK, fair, fair.
• 52:34
  Wait, wait. Also like also.
• 52:36
  I just wait. That firearm is not a new game
• 52:38
  though, am I right? That's no, it's not a new game,
• 52:40
  but it still came out. It was re released, I didn't
• 52:43
  have to spend $250 to find a new copy of it.
• 52:46
  Fire and move for Corey is like is like Final Fantasy tactics
• 52:49
  for me. Like they they they will re
• 52:51
  release it and I will stop everything I'm doing to play it.
• 52:53
  Dude, I'm still playing the mobile game.
• 52:57
  Yeah, final, final. Fantasy Tactics hurt hurt like
• 53:01
  hurt like my third run replay of of dispatch.
• 53:06
  Oh man, that dispatch switch version.
• 53:08
  Apparently it got. Dispatched.
• 53:14
  If that's what you want to call that.
• 53:17
  I didn't keep track of it. Did it not do what it was
• 53:19
  supposed to do? It there's some censoring going
• 53:22
  on in it. I told you.
• 53:25
  I told you what. No.
• 53:28
  OK, there there's a reason. There's there's too.
• 53:31
  There's too much wangs and boobies in that game, I told
• 53:34
  you. Yes, because there's there's a
• 53:37
  Nintendo absolutely hates having all those hentai puzzle games on
• 53:41
  their store. Hey, hey, hey, look, look.
• 53:44
  I called it I. Called it.
• 53:46
  It must be deleting 1A week by release date so you know they're
• 53:51
  probably in the middle of 2018 right now.
• 53:56
  Now this is an issue that actually could be fixed, but Ad
• 54:00
  Hoc doesn't want to fix. Ad hoc doesn't and and.
• 54:03
  And you know what? I I I stand by the developers on
• 54:07
  this. You do.
• 54:09
  All they have to do is make a completely separate version for
• 54:13
  Japan. That is the only thing they have
• 54:15
  to do. They why would they do that when
• 54:18
  they could be when they could be using that time to make DLC or
• 54:22
  make an expansion? It's turning the switch or
• 54:28
  they're, you know, a lot of people are waiting for the
• 54:30
  Switch version and after the censoring they don't want the
• 54:34
  Switch version anymore, so. I I bet you know and you know
• 54:38
  what it's just it's just as cheap to buy it on PC and guess
• 54:42
  what, you don't, you don't need $1,000,000 rig to play that game
• 54:46
  on PC. But it also is hurting their
• 54:49
  reputation because people have gotten smart about the fact that
• 54:53
  Ad Hoc is not wanting to fix it. How's it hurting their Wait,
• 54:57
  wait, wait, see, this is this is what pisses me off by the gaming
• 55:00
  community. How are we going?
• 55:01
  How are we going to stand behind some some developers when
• 55:04
  they're like, no, we're not going to budget on this.
• 55:05
  And then we're going to turn around and take a game that
• 55:08
  definitely got game of the year from from certain outlets and,
• 55:13
  and, and you're going to crucify them like that's hypocrisy.
• 55:19
  I don't know. Man, I really don't know
• 55:22
  anything, even anything about the game to be honest, except
• 55:25
  for what you've talked about on the show they're on so.
• 55:31
  Is it available? Wait, you have PS-5?
• 55:33
  I'll buy you a copy, Corey. Yeah, it's fine.
• 55:37
  You don't. You don't want a free game.
• 55:39
  No, you don't want a free game because you know I'll force you
• 55:41
  to play it. No, that's why.
• 55:43
  That's why you know how fortunate to play.
• 55:46
  That's that's not true. This is why.
• 55:52
  This is why you, This is why you kept.
• 55:54
  This is why you kept dodging when I was bought when I said
• 55:56
  I'd buy you a copy of XYZ Monster Hunter before it wound
• 55:59
  up dropping on like all like Game Pass and PlayStation Plus.
• 56:03
  That's not true. You know, I remember what the
• 56:08
  the original controversy to this was.
• 56:11
  The original controversy was no one mentioned anything about the
• 56:14
  censoring until the game came out.
• 56:19
  That was what was hurting the reputation and.
• 56:24
  Who's censored the game though? Who censored the game?
• 56:29
  Well, because Ad Hoc did not want to create the separate
• 56:31
  version for this for Japan, Ad Hoc had to censor the game.
• 56:38
  So then don't sell it in Japan? Or don't put it on Switch at
• 56:44
  all. Don't what?
• 56:46
  Like don't put it on Switch at all.
• 56:48
  I mean, I know, like I know people want it on Switch, but
• 56:50
  like, if you feel like you have to censor it because you're
• 56:53
  afraid of Nintendo, then don't put it there at all.
• 56:56
  Exactly. I, I, I was, I was flummoxed
• 56:59
  when I heard it was coming to switch.
• 57:00
  I was like, how's it going to come to switch?
• 57:02
  That was literally my question. Remember Corey?
• 57:04
  That was my question. How's it going to switch?
• 57:06
  Yeah, yeah. But I mean it's not necessarily
• 57:10
  the nudity because you have the exact same stuff as in Cyberpunk
• 57:14
  2077 and The Witcher. Yeah, you can watch dangly dongs
• 57:19
  and stuff on cyberpunk like. But wait.
• 57:23
  But why? Is it because it's an animated
• 57:25
  like like drawn platform like no.
• 57:27
  It's, it's because those companies made a separate
• 57:31
  version for Japan and that was censored.
• 57:34
  This one said, no, we're, we're not doing that.
• 57:37
  And so all of it is censored. You know what?
• 57:43
  Because they don't want to create the separate it's.
• 57:46
  You know. What the two version it's just.
• 57:48
  That I stand with you. I.
• 57:55
  I already bought, I already bought you a game, so you know,
• 57:58
  there it is. Oh la Ron, la Ron Dawkins.
• 58:07
  Here we are. Hey, they got my money.
• 58:09
  That's that's that's my endorsement.
• 58:12
  I, I, I'm not telling you to not endorse it.
• 58:15
  You everyone's free to do what they want.
• 58:18
  I'm I'm just hanging out listening about why it got
• 58:22
  censored or or or the controversy.
• 58:25
  Corey, when you when you have that laissez faire type of
• 58:27
  attitude, you know what, you know what that means that
• 58:30
  somebody's going to put their eye patch on and their and their
• 58:33
  and their and their funny hat and be like, ah.
• 58:36
  Don't do that. Bring on.
• 58:37
  Don't do that. Bring on bitches.
• 58:46
  Oh, man, I'm like, I don't know, something's going on with me
• 58:50
  today. We want we want video games to
• 58:52
  be great again. 'Cause.
• 58:56
  It's not going that direction right now, but.
• 59:00
  By the way, side tangent, this is not a this is, this is.
• 59:07
  I don't even know why I have to press this.
• 59:09
  They in Greenland. Did you see they're all wearing
• 59:12
  MAGA hats, Lauren? Yeah, I saw it.
• 59:15
  Did you see what they were making it stand for?
• 59:17
  No, no, there is there. Yeah, it's a different.
• 59:21
  It's different than what it's supposed to mean.
• 59:25
  Make America go away is what it means.
• 59:32
  That was funny. It made me laugh, gave me a good
• 59:34
  chuckle. We're so screwed.
• 59:39
  Are we? It's going to be hard.
• 59:42
  To come back from this point, we'll be all right.
• 59:45
  We will be fine. Maybe you know when life gives
• 59:53
  you lemons. Just drop a nuclear bomb on
• 59:56
  them. Spit out the seeds.
• 59:59
  Speaking of Speaking of nuclear bombs, Lauren, let's talk about
• 1:00:04
  this steam machine. Oh Lord.
• 1:00:10
  I don't I don't know if any more information has come out since I
• 1:00:12
  made the stock like a month ago, but while official pricing isn't
• 1:00:18
  confirmed. There's been no new information
• 1:00:20
  since this now. That you know of.
• 1:00:24
  That I know of, yeah. So there's been some suggested
• 1:00:32
  pricing around this thing, nothing official or confirmed.
• 1:00:36
  But while official pricing isn't confirmed, recent leaks from
• 1:00:40
  Czech retailers suggest the upcoming Valve Steam Machine
• 1:00:44
  might cost around $950 for the 12512 Gigabyte model and $1070
• 1:00:50
  for the two terabyte model, placing it more as a high end PC
• 1:00:55
  console hybrid than a budget device, with Valve positioning
• 1:00:58
  it as a premium PC experience rather than a loss leading
• 1:01:02
  console. Man, how do you feel about this,
• 1:01:08
  Laurent? I feel like this should have
• 1:01:09
  been like if you want to get people into PC gaming and then
• 1:01:12
  to the like if you want console gamers to get into the PC Steam
• 1:01:17
  ecosystem, I feel like it should have been around 4 or $500,
• 1:01:21
  maybe $600.00 at the high end. I was thinking 600.
• 1:01:24
  I was thinking 600 should have been like the like the median.
• 1:01:27
  Yeah. Yeah, this in my, in my, in my
• 1:01:30
  personal opinion, I feel like this is going to be another one
• 1:01:32
  of those Valve projects that just people forget about, you
• 1:01:36
  know, yeah, enthusiasts are going to get it, you know, for
• 1:01:39
  sure, you know, but but you know, like people are wringing
• 1:01:42
  their hands down about the cost of like the the the, the Asus
• 1:01:46
  Xbox ROG Ally, you know, and, and if and if that's a handheld
• 1:01:51
  like this is like this is not, this is not going to placate
• 1:01:55
  people. I mean, seriously, when when I
• 1:01:58
  first saw the specs about this, before the price even leaked, I
• 1:02:01
  was like, I was like, yeah, we're looking at eight, $900
• 1:02:05
  starting starting minimum and stuff like that.
• 1:02:08
  So when this came out, I wasn't even, I wasn't even surprised.
• 1:02:11
  Like 950 upwards of $1100. I I wasn't surprised.
• 1:02:16
  But also, Valve kind of released this at the wrong time, you
• 1:02:20
  know, because like. Well, Valve didn't release this.
• 1:02:24
  This is just estimated from. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, I what I
• 1:02:27
  meant to say, what I, what I meant to say is, is like, is
• 1:02:30
  like they just the timing is wrong for this, you know,
• 1:02:32
  considering that, you know, like hardware is in flux all over
• 1:02:35
  again, you know, like one week, one week we're looking at, you
• 1:02:38
  know, SSDs and storage being high.
• 1:02:41
  Next week we're looking at RAM being high that and then the
• 1:02:44
  next week it's it's grab, it's GPU's and stuff being high.
• 1:02:47
  You know, it's, it's cyclical right now in the, in the for us
• 1:02:50
  PC gamers, we know this like, like storage is high one week,
• 1:02:54
  next week it's graphics cards that are high next week.
• 1:02:57
  It's the next week is RAM and RAM is going to be high for like
• 1:03:00
  fucking forever because, because the AI, the AI crunch crisis,
• 1:03:04
  boom, whatever the fuck you want to call it.
• 1:03:06
  Like, you know, so yeah, this is bad timing.
• 1:03:10
  I, I, you know, I'm pretty sure like, like Valve was trying to
• 1:03:13
  like get this thing going, you know, and there there's they
• 1:03:16
  saw, they saw the popularity of what the Steam Deck did.
• 1:03:20
  Honestly, the Steam Deck is the Steam Deck is where they need to
• 1:03:24
  like kind of like throw all their all their money.
• 1:03:27
  No, not all of it, you know, but throw the majority of their of
• 1:03:31
  their attention into right now. You know people are where?
• 1:03:34
  They need to throw their attention to Half Life 3.
• 1:03:38
  You don't need a microchip for that.
• 1:03:41
  The thing though, too, The thing is, is like, I feel like I feel
• 1:03:45
  like the, the what they're doing with all these devices though is
• 1:03:51
  the right thing. I just feel like the pricing is
• 1:03:57
  off and I don't know, like also like, you know, check the Czech
• 1:04:04
  economy is much different than ours here, right?
• 1:04:06
  So like things are going to cost more there than they do here
• 1:04:09
  anyway. But like, yeah, I, I feel like
• 1:04:13
  especially because like it sounds like especially what
• 1:04:17
  we've talked about La Ron, like this thing is going to be about
• 1:04:20
  as powerful, about as powerful as a PlayStation 5 essentially,
• 1:04:24
  right? Like approximately, maybe a
• 1:04:27
  little bit more. Powerful PS 5 1/2, that's what I
• 1:04:30
  that's what I would think, you know, and I'm like, and I'm
• 1:04:33
  like, you know, like that's good, but that's kind of the
• 1:04:36
  benchmark now for for most gaming, you know, like, like,
• 1:04:39
  you know, like if you look at a lot of specs for games now, like
• 1:04:42
  the specs for games require like GPU and RAM limits to be at, you
• 1:04:47
  know, a certain point. And, and it's all based on
• 1:04:50
  current hardware, current console hardware, you know, I
• 1:04:54
  think, I think right now, I think right now to play almost
• 1:04:58
  any modern game at regular settings, you need a graphics
• 1:05:03
  card that has, that has 14 gigs of VRAM or, or, or better 14
• 1:05:08
  gigs being the minimum. Because guess what?
• 1:05:10
  The Series X and the PlayStation 514 gig systems, you know, and
• 1:05:15
  that's, that's before we even talk about RAM, you know, and
• 1:05:19
  stuff like that, you know, so this right here is insane
• 1:05:23
  because even the PS-5 Pro is not $950.
• 1:05:30
  So what would be the point in getting this system?
• 1:05:33
  There, there is no point. I'm going to, I'm, I'm just
• 1:05:36
  going to be, I'm just going to be blatantly honest.
• 1:05:38
  Like I mean, if, if, if this is the price point, there's no
• 1:05:42
  point. Just like, just like how I said
• 1:05:44
  like 2 months ago when the, when the Asus Xbox ROG Allies came
• 1:05:49
  out, that is not where is, is there's no point in getting
• 1:05:53
  those. And I have not gotten either one
• 1:05:56
  of them. Number one, I'm not going to get
• 1:05:57
  the base. It's it's Xbox wrong, Ally, you
• 1:06:00
  know, and I'm not getting the X even though like yeah, like I've
• 1:06:03
  I've had it in my hand, like, oh, it's a it's an ergonomical
• 1:06:06
  dream, you know, but it's not doing any better, you know, and
• 1:06:11
  for that price, it's not it's not worth it.
• 1:06:13
  And and and I hate to say it, I'm sorry.
• 1:06:15
  I'm sorry, Valve, your steam machine is not worth it based
• 1:06:19
  off of this. Please just let this be a bad
• 1:06:22
  leak, you know? Please just let this be a bad
• 1:06:25
  leak, you know? One would say their steam
• 1:06:27
  machine is a bunch of hot. Air Gosh.
• 1:06:32
  We are. We're all fired.
• 1:06:41
  That was perfect. That was perfect, Pat.
• 1:06:42
  I mean, that was, that was, that's what I.
• 1:06:44
  Mean for, yeah. Not gonna lie to us, I may.
• 1:06:47
  Not know the tech behind this but I can at least come up with
• 1:06:50
  a good pun and. You know, and you know, here's
• 1:06:52
  you know, here's the crazy thing, right?
• 1:06:56
  For this, for this type, for this type of money that you're
• 1:06:58
  spending on this, I could actually throw a couple, throw a
• 1:07:02
  couple 100 more dollars in there and you know, like I've actually
• 1:07:05
  got you, I've actually got you. AI can actually build you APC
• 1:07:08
  that's comparable to the PS-5 Pro.
• 1:07:13
  I mean. I mean, you want something
• 1:07:14
  souped up and everything, you know, like like it's going to be
• 1:07:17
  a couple $1000, you know, because at the end of the day,
• 1:07:21
  like, you know, like stuff is expensive right now and how the
• 1:07:24
  hell are they going? They're going to take their it
• 1:07:27
  says it says it, right. Where's the line at?
• 1:07:31
  It says about where is it? Where is it?
• 1:07:32
  Where is it? Where is it crap.
• 1:07:35
  Oh, Valve is positioning as a premium PC experience rather
• 1:07:39
  than a lost leading console. Valve, you're going to take a
• 1:07:42
  loss on this. You're going to take a even if
• 1:07:46
  people buy this, you're taking a loss on this right now, Valve,
• 1:07:48
  because guess what? Hardware is sky high right now.
• 1:07:53
  It's true. It most certainly is.
• 1:07:56
  And right now with the way with the way with the way the, with
• 1:07:59
  the AI boom going on right now, like there's going to be a crash
• 1:08:03
  and all of a sudden everything's going to be cloud based.
• 1:08:05
  Like, you know, like Google might as well just held on the
• 1:08:09
  Stadia because the Stadia is going to be.
• 1:08:11
  Back. God I hope not.
• 1:08:15
  If everything's cloud based, I'm done.
• 1:08:16
  I can't. Oh yeah, I'm done too.
• 1:08:18
  I'm, I'm done too. Shoot every every computer,
• 1:08:21
  laptop, whatever I have is going to just become one big emulation
• 1:08:25
  station. Yeah, I mean, I'm just gonna
• 1:08:27
  get. Better Internet then so that we
• 1:08:29
  can play on the cloud. No.
• 1:08:33
  You know. Well, you know, here's the thing
• 1:08:34
  about. It I mean, my internet's pretty
• 1:08:36
  good, but. We can thank Microsoft for why
• 1:08:39
  our Internet, why the United States Internet infrastructure
• 1:08:41
  is better, but Microsoft is not pioneering anything like that
• 1:08:45
  anymore. So they're probably, well, they
• 1:08:48
  were trying to pioneer AI and then like a couple of their a
• 1:08:51
  couple of their, their, their reports came out and and and now
• 1:08:55
  Satya Nadella is like trying to back back pedal that shit.
• 1:08:59
  Well, it's not that they, they, they were too slow to get on the
• 1:09:06
  AI train and when they like, so they partnered with open AI
• 1:09:10
  hoping to catch up. And then they just kind of like,
• 1:09:13
  you know, crap the bed with that deal, so to speak.
• 1:09:15
  And so now they're investing in infrastructure for AI instead of
• 1:09:20
  AI themselves. So honestly, to have these data
• 1:09:23
  centers, if Microsoft is building the data centers,
• 1:09:26
  theoretically that's better future proofing than actually
• 1:09:32
  investing in the AI, in my opinion, just because like data
• 1:09:36
  centers can be transitioned into use for other things, right?
• 1:09:40
  So like, it's crazy, man, I just, I've been trying to like
• 1:09:46
  learn about all this stuff because of where I work.
• 1:09:49
  And it's just funny how this AI bubble is like so close to being
• 1:09:55
  to bursting because like people are trying to figure out, OK,
• 1:10:01
  it's cool, but how do we sell it?
• 1:10:02
  How do we monetize it? How do we make it a useful thing
• 1:10:06
  without like, scaring people? It needs to hurry up and burst
• 1:10:09
  so I can get back to building affordable PCs for people.
• 1:10:14
  Yeah, I can't even. Some companies some companies
• 1:10:16
  have already sold through their allotment of RAM until 2027.
• 1:10:20
  Yeah, yeah. Crucial, As a matter of fact,
• 1:10:23
  crucial is no longer selling consumer.
• 1:10:26
  Somebody just bought them. Oh yeah, no, they nobody bought
• 1:10:33
  them. Their parent company, Micron.
• 1:10:36
  Yeah, Micron. Yeah, is getting out of the
• 1:10:38
  consumer business. Yeah, getting out of the
• 1:10:39
  consumer business, that's what it is.
• 1:10:40
  Yeah. Yeah, their parent, yeah,
• 1:10:42
  Samsung, Samsung is saying, Samsung is saying like it's
• 1:10:45
  going to take about a year and a half to like get to get the
• 1:10:49
  demand for for for consumer RAM back up for for them.
• 1:10:53
  And I'm like this is Samsung. Yeah, it's crazy, man.
• 1:10:59
  Yeah, oh, one last thing. Analysts estimates the range
• 1:11:04
  being from 800 to $1000 on this, depending on the specs, with
• 1:11:09
  someone suggesting around 7 to $800 being a strong possibility,
• 1:11:12
  $700.00 is the is, is, is about the best that people are going,
• 1:11:16
  the best that people are going to do because like, they're
• 1:11:18
  going to look at this, they're going to look at this, they're
• 1:11:20
  going to look, they're going to look at a Steam Deck and they're
• 1:11:22
  like, hey, the Steam Deck plays AA games, great AAA games
• 1:11:27
  somewhat fine. I'm just going to spend, I'm
• 1:11:30
  just going to spend that money on a Steam Deck.
• 1:11:33
  And I can play it in bed. Exactly.
• 1:11:36
  Exactly. I don't know.
• 1:11:40
  I I usually applaud a lot of stuff that that valve does, but
• 1:11:43
  I don't know if I can. I I can't even, I can't even
• 1:11:45
  like adjust my seat for this one.
• 1:11:48
  Yeah, I just, I just feel like the, I feel like the price is
• 1:11:51
  just too high. That's that's like the only
• 1:11:53
  thing wrong with this, in my opinion, is like, I think again,
• 1:11:56
  the ecosystem building that they're doing is like really
• 1:11:59
  smart because they've had they've been building an install
• 1:12:02
  base for 25 years. But at the same time, it's like,
• 1:12:08
  man, like you said, they're on. If you're, if you want to get
• 1:12:12
  into PC gaming, like you might as well just like either buy a
• 1:12:15
  prebuilt one or, you know, build your own, find someone to build
• 1:12:20
  you one for the amount of money this is or like a couple $100
• 1:12:24
  more or whatever. Like it.
• 1:12:27
  Because like, unless it's like an ease of use thing, like I
• 1:12:32
  just feel like it's not going to be worth that.
• 1:12:37
  Yeah, and here's the, and here's the main thing.
• 1:12:39
  And this is one of the things like, you know, like, yeah, I, I
• 1:12:42
  know people are like, Oh yeah, Lerons, like the PC master racer
• 1:12:45
  and all that stuff. You know, here's the thing about
• 1:12:47
  it. Here's the thing about it, like
• 1:12:49
  if you get yourself, if you get yourself a modest PC right now,
• 1:12:52
  it is already future proofed. It is already future proofed.
• 1:12:56
  Like, like the average piece, the, the average PC Gamer, the
• 1:13:00
  only thing that they usually have to worry about upgrading on
• 1:13:03
  their machine is a graphics card.
• 1:13:05
  And they usually upgrade that when they want to, not because
• 1:13:08
  they need to. Yeah.
• 1:13:11
  You know, we have a possibility of something that could like
• 1:13:14
  make an ultimate system because Microsoft wants what Steam has,
• 1:13:22
  but Steam wants the structure that Microsoft has.
• 1:13:26
  Why can't they just get married and we have like a console
• 1:13:31
  system? Because Gabe Newell left, became
• 1:13:33
  hate at Microsoft. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:35
  Gabe Newell used to be part of Microsoft.
• 1:13:37
  Yeah. But yeah, I'm, I'm just saying
• 1:13:40
  like, you know, one person has chocolate, the other person has
• 1:13:43
  peanut butter. You could have a Reese's if they
• 1:13:46
  actually just got along. Who?
• 1:13:51
  Who wants to? Who wants to put their peanut
• 1:13:52
  butter in the chocolate? Or who wants to put the
• 1:13:54
  chocolate in the peanut butter? Come on, it's like a chicken and
• 1:13:58
  the egg. Magic if they can get it to
• 1:14:00
  work. I wonder if there have been.
• 1:14:08
  It at least calls for Microsoft to like buy Valve at some point.
• 1:14:11
  There has been. There has been.
• 1:14:14
  Not a nothing official though, just been kind of.
• 1:14:17
  Yeah. Nothing official.
• 1:14:18
  Nothing official. True.
• 1:14:19
  Yeah, yeah. I just, I wonder what those I
• 1:14:23
  wonder what those calls are like, but.
• 1:14:24
  But based but based on everything now.
• 1:14:27
  Like we just we know Microsoft was fucked that up too.
• 1:14:31
  Yeah, yeah. I mean, I mean, you know, like,
• 1:14:39
  see, I, I work in it and, you know, like what?
• 1:14:42
  And, and, and you know, like I, I work, I work in the Windows
• 1:14:46
  ecosystem and the fact that, you know, like, even, even even as
• 1:14:50
  flawed as Windows is, I, I, you know, like, I still stand behind
• 1:14:53
  it and stuff like that. I do see the flaws in Windows.
• 1:14:56
  And as soon as Microsoft started making these plays into like the
• 1:15:00
  video gaming space with, with Xbox and then buying up all
• 1:15:03
  these companies and all that stuff, I was like, they're going
• 1:15:05
  to fuck this up. And here we are in 2026.
• 1:15:08
  They're fucking it up. Yeah, well, that's that's seems
• 1:15:14
  to be Microsoft's MO these days. We're going to, we're Microsoft.
• 1:15:17
  We're going to fuck this up. I'm going to make that.
• 1:15:21
  I'm going to make that shirt. I'm going to make that shirt.
• 1:15:24
  We're going to fuck this up and then I'm going to get fired from
• 1:15:28
  my job. That that that window, that
• 1:15:32
  Windows logo is actually a window out to the to the floor
• 1:15:35
  of all the ways of going to fuck things up.
• 1:15:37
  Optimize it. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:15:42
  It was like podcasting is about to be your only job.
• 1:15:44
  Laurent, get out. You.
• 1:15:50
  Can come Corey, you have yourself a full time programmer
• 1:15:53
  now. I can't pay him.
• 1:15:57
  Then where do we? Then where do we go?
• 1:15:59
  Then where do we go? Yeah, yeah, about that.
• 1:16:08
  Next topic like the. The well, the the thing, the
• 1:16:11
  last thing about this though, is like, I was legitimately
• 1:16:16
  thinking about getting one of these and a Steam Deck to pair
• 1:16:22
  with it, but like it's if it's this expensive, like I would pay
• 1:16:28
  $1100 for both units together, right?
• 1:16:32
  Like a Steam Deck and this. Oh yeah, if it was, if it came
• 1:16:36
  out $600.00, you mean. Yeah.
• 1:16:38
  Yeah. But.
• 1:16:41
  No, this is, this is, this is wild.
• 1:16:43
  Yeah, so. There's a see, there's probably
• 1:16:50
  a part of the Internet that that thinks that that's thinking that
• 1:16:53
  Valve is starting to become predatory.
• 1:16:55
  I don't even think that's it. Valve has been Valve has proven
• 1:16:59
  that they are not a predatory company as far as like, you
• 1:17:01
  know, like taking the consumers for a ride.
• 1:17:03
  You know, for the most part, Valve, you know, is very, very,
• 1:17:07
  very, very consumer friendly. Even even when the scandal went
• 1:17:10
  around where they had to take down games because like, you
• 1:17:12
  know, credit card companies were were sitting in the bed about
• 1:17:15
  some bullshit, you know, Valve, Valve.
• 1:17:18
  The porn games? Oh shit, you mean just?
• 1:17:20
  Melt child predators. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:17:23
  But but yeah, I don't see this as Valve as being predatory on
• 1:17:27
  like on like customer on customers that don't know any
• 1:17:30
  better. I think Valve just, you know,
• 1:17:33
  like just just just made a made a huge hiccup, you know.
• 1:17:39
  Yeah, but the things not even the things not even out yet.
• 1:17:42
  So they can surprise the hell out of us and then actually be
• 1:17:44
  like, you know, well below like these price points or anything
• 1:17:47
  that we just, we just quote. Well, they've, they've had to
• 1:17:50
  see this feedback, right? Like they've had to have seen
• 1:17:52
  this feedback and they're like, oh man, people probably aren't
• 1:17:56
  going to buy this if it's this expensive.
• 1:17:58
  Let's figure out what we can do to like, yeah, cut the price or
• 1:18:03
  like, wait it out or something, you know?
• 1:18:05
  Right, right. Or maybe they're trying to see
• 1:18:07
  how much of the next Xbox is going to be and they'll come in
• 1:18:09
  and undercut them also. That's also a rumor.
• 1:18:14
  That's also a rumor that's out there that, you know, they're
• 1:18:16
  they're they're waiting to see what Microsoft is doing.
• 1:18:18
  And then they're just going to like, you know, cut them off at
• 1:18:21
  the, at the, at the. Knees.
• 1:18:23
  Well, I mean, there is that, that it's not rumor, but
• 1:18:26
  PlayStation is, is delaying the PlayStation 6 apparently until
• 1:18:30
  like 2029 or 2030 Good. But but AMD and Microsoft came
• 1:18:35
  out yesterday and said, Nope, we're pushing ahead.
• 1:18:37
  We're going to this box is going to be ready by next year.
• 1:18:40
  No sounds. Like a great decision by
• 1:18:42
  Microsoft, right? They're just, they're, we've
• 1:18:45
  already established they're great.
• 1:18:46
  They're great decision makers. Yeah.
• 1:18:49
  No, no, no. That's let's push it.
• 1:18:51
  Off at the most expensive time for hardware.
• 1:18:55
  As a, as a consumer, I will say Sony's doing a good job because
• 1:19:00
  like, because like Sony, Sony must have been reading the
• 1:19:03
  feedback saying, hey, we haven't even gotten an actual, like an
• 1:19:06
  actual like console generation. Well, not console generation.
• 1:19:10
  We, we haven't seen what the PS-5 can do yet.
• 1:19:12
  You know, like. Well, I just, I just feel like
• 1:19:17
  man, it's the same. It's it's just like, I feel like
• 1:19:20
  these consoles are still like new for some reason.
• 1:19:23
  And maybe it's because development cycles are so long
• 1:19:25
  now. That's the way I.
• 1:19:26
  Feel too, I feel like I, I feel like these consoles, I, I feel
• 1:19:29
  like it's still like yesterday and like we're still scrambling
• 1:19:31
  to buy one. Yeah, even though when like.
• 1:19:35
  Consoles had at least 20 new exclusive games before.
• 1:19:40
  Like they got another one and I don't think we've even hit like
• 1:19:45
  10 yet. I don't know.
• 1:19:50
  I don't, I don't know. I mean, I just.
• 1:19:52
  I mean, well, before we, before we took the break last year, we
• 1:19:55
  did talk about how like, you know, like, like, like meant
• 1:19:58
  the, the, the, the AAA publishers, they need to find a
• 1:20:02
  way to like, to like decrease their, these, these development
• 1:20:05
  times, you know, stuff like that, you know, like.
• 1:20:08
  Corey like we should, we should just devote an entire episode to
• 1:20:11
  like the the heyday of like PS2 and PS3, you know, and back when
• 1:20:15
  like basically the backbone of gaming was on AA titles.
• 1:20:20
  Yeah, but maybe even back then, like the AA titles were the
• 1:20:24
  triple, almost the AAA titles. I know, right?
• 1:20:26
  I know, right. Think of, think of like, think
• 1:20:28
  of like, like infamous resistance, you know, gears.
• 1:20:32
  Of war, yeah. I mean, you could even say
• 1:20:35
  things like, I mean even even like Resident Evil, those later
• 1:20:40
  Resident Evil games, like before 4, you know, Code Veronica and
• 1:20:44
  three. Coopers.
• 1:20:45
  Yep. Those Tomb Raiders and how you
• 1:20:49
  got an entire trilogy on one system.
• 1:20:51
  And it's funny too. It is funny too now.
• 1:20:54
  It's crazy because one now like, now like we've got now like.
• 1:20:57
  We've got PlayStation one, got 5 Tomb Raider games.
• 1:21:00
  Yeah, now, now we've got these companies because remember,
• 1:21:04
  remember how like a game would come out in like the franchise
• 1:21:07
  and it was definitely a filler game.
• 1:21:08
  But you know, like we were fine with that.
• 1:21:11
  Now they're afraid to put a filler, they're afraid to put a
• 1:21:14
  filler game out in like let's the last filler game I can think
• 1:21:18
  of in a in a in a franchise was Uncharted, Lost Legacy, and we
• 1:21:21
  all. Know the cherry lost legacy was.
• 1:21:22
  Was supposed to be like DLC. We all know this, you know.
• 1:21:26
  Yeah, I could have. I could have like I thought
• 1:21:29
  that's the way PlayStation was going also like because like you
• 1:21:33
  also have mile Miles Morales, right and like you're like, Oh
• 1:21:37
  well, while they work on the next like proper entry, we're
• 1:21:41
  going to get these little. Like inner.
• 1:21:42
  Civil Games, right, Like Left Behind for The Last of Us Part
• 1:21:45
  2. You know, we had those and then
• 1:21:49
  and then they're just kind. Of like they're fucking, they're
• 1:21:51
  fucking afraid to do it now you know they're going.
• 1:21:56
  To make them their billions. Well, I'm not sure.
• 1:21:58
  Well, well, I'm not sure if it's because the Internet has gotten
• 1:22:01
  so vocal like this should have been this should have been this
• 1:22:04
  should have been part of the game or, or whatnot.
• 1:22:06
  Because I think it's because. Shareholders are making
• 1:22:08
  decisions now. For Oh yeah, you know for sure.
• 1:22:12
  Like I mean I guarantee the Prince of Persia game I feel was
• 1:22:17
  so close to completion but like the.
• 1:22:19
  Well, it had a release. Date.
• 1:22:20
  No, it's not. Yeah, well, it had a speculated
• 1:22:24
  release date. And you know, I, I feel like the
• 1:22:27
  shareholders are like, if, if it's not going to cross a
• 1:22:30
  certain threshold, why are we even bothering?
• 1:22:32
  We'll just write it off as a lot.
• 1:22:34
  And, you know, we got tax subsidies now, the Warner
• 1:22:39
  Brothers method. So it's so I don't know man.
• 1:22:45
  And like, I, I just feel like there are better ways to do
• 1:22:52
  this. And like, I feel like, I feel
• 1:22:56
  like these massive open world games, honestly mixed with the
• 1:23:00
  graphical fidelity that people expect now from AAA games, just
• 1:23:03
  kind of almost ruined games to a point where like, if it's if
• 1:23:10
  this game is $70 and it's like 100 hour RPG or this game is $70
• 1:23:15
  and it's 12 hours long, like don't buy the 12 hour game
• 1:23:19
  because it's, you know, it's why, you know, time equals money
• 1:23:24
  apparently. You know, like, I don't know,
• 1:23:27
  man. It's just, it's budgets are just
• 1:23:32
  out of control. And, and I think there are
• 1:23:36
  definitely games that have come out recently that show that
• 1:23:39
  maybe graphical fidelity isn't everything, you know, but I
• 1:23:47
  don't know, man. You see, you see things like
• 1:23:51
  like The Last of Us and like, you know, even the new Fable
• 1:23:55
  game that's coming out and you're like, man, games look
• 1:23:58
  amazing, but what is, what is the cost?
• 1:24:01
  Like, what are you costing the, the, you know, like I, I love
• 1:24:06
  that the games look like this, but what is it costing you?
• 1:24:09
  You know, I mean, Fable's been in development for eight years,
• 1:24:12
  10 years maybe, right? Regardless of how successful
• 1:24:15
  fable's going to be, it's not going to be successful.
• 1:24:18
  Microsoft dies. And then and then there and then
• 1:24:22
  there's a sad part too, because you you just ask that question
• 1:24:24
  right? And then you see, and then
• 1:24:26
  you've seen like these companies have tried to like push the the
• 1:24:29
  envelope of how much they can charge us for these games.
• 1:24:31
  Now you know, like, you know what, 2020, 2025 I will give, I
• 1:24:37
  will give an attaboy to like to like gamers because like you
• 1:24:41
  guys did a great job last year speaking with your damn
• 1:24:44
  pocketbooks. You guys did a good job.
• 1:24:47
  Like you forced you forced Microsoft to back down from $80
• 1:24:50
  games. You've had Nintendo buckle under
• 1:24:53
  a couple under a couple of extremes and stuff like that.
• 1:24:55
  Sony's been taking notes. So Sony's been saying, oh, like
• 1:24:59
  this game's coming out this price and we're like, oh, we see
• 1:25:01
  what you did there, Sony. We know.
• 1:25:03
  We see everybody's favorite games of the last couple years
• 1:25:06
  are not 60 or $70 games like Arc Raiders is 40, Marathon.
• 1:25:10
  A lot of people are like really excited for Marathon now.
• 1:25:12
  And it's 40, right? Like that's 40.
• 1:25:15
  Dollars. Yeah, that was like 50 I thought
• 1:25:17
  when it came out and that one game of the year.
• 1:25:20
  Yeah. So like, you know, it's just,
• 1:25:23
  it's just showing that like games don't have to be $300
• 1:25:28
  million to have people like really enjoy your game, you
• 1:25:32
  know, so. So hey, gamers, like keep that
• 1:25:35
  shit up, keep that, keep that momentum going in 2026.
• 1:25:39
  I haven't bought a new game all year.
• 1:25:42
  Yeah, the the only, the only game I bought this year so far
• 1:25:45
  is Front Mission Remake. And you know, like that, that
• 1:25:47
  only cost me $40. Yeah.
• 1:25:51
  I'd bought an indie game and ADLC so I spent just about 60
• 1:25:55
  bucks this last month. I actually downgraded my game
• 1:26:00
  pass subscription too because I was like I'm not playing.
• 1:26:03
  I'm I'm about to let my game pass.
• 1:26:05
  I'm not letting my game pass go like I, I took a real, I took a
• 1:26:08
  real good look at it and like Expedition 33 was the only Game
• 1:26:13
  Pass game I've I've played. And then I and then I went and
• 1:26:16
  then I went and bought the game. I bought the game on Steam.
• 1:26:20
  Well, I ended up buying my. Xbox since July, I don't.
• 1:26:26
  Have game. Pass anymore.
• 1:26:29
  Yeah, I figure if there's something that like when Fable
• 1:26:31
  comes out, I'll be like, I'll upgrade it for a month or two
• 1:26:34
  and play it and then bounce. I just I'm trying to be really
• 1:26:39
  better with my money and when it comes to games this year.
• 1:26:43
  That too, you know, like, yeah, like, yeah, like my gaming habit
• 1:26:47
  can be a really irresponsible habit.
• 1:26:48
  You know, that's, you know, at some points I'm like, man, like,
• 1:26:52
  like, like shoot. Like would I have saved more
• 1:26:54
  money, like just smoking, smoking cigarettes or something,
• 1:26:57
  you know? No, probably not, you know,
• 1:27:00
  because, because like I talked to somebody and they're like,
• 1:27:02
  yeah, they know a person that smokes XYZ, you know, like
• 1:27:05
  cigarettes. And they smoke this many packs a
• 1:27:07
  day and odd stuff. And we broke down.
• 1:27:08
  We broke down how much they spent.
• 1:27:10
  They, they spent $5400 a year. Yeah, I know, I know, I know I'm
• 1:27:16
  saving. I know I'm saving money on video
• 1:27:19
  by buying however many video games I want because, like, that
• 1:27:22
  shit's insane, you know? But at the same time, but at the
• 1:27:26
  same time, if you look at the money that that the average
• 1:27:28
  gamer spends on games, you know, you know, someone else is
• 1:27:32
  getting their mind blown behind that, you know, and it's, and
• 1:27:36
  this is from the average gamer buying the game and then it
• 1:27:39
  winds up in their backlog. You know, I I didn't buy that
• 1:27:42
  many games last year, but more than half the games I bought are
• 1:27:45
  in my backlog. No, I mean I buy the most games
• 1:27:51
  out of all of you guys and even I'm looking this year and I'm
• 1:27:56
  like, I don't want to spend as much money on video games this
• 1:28:01
  time. Honestly, like all, all the
• 1:28:04
  money I spent on day on games I've hardly, you know, beat and
• 1:28:10
  now I'm finally going back to games from like a couple years
• 1:28:13
  ago and I'm working my way on those.
• 1:28:15
  Now, now, now, now, now that we've all said this though, you
• 1:28:19
  know, like to to listeners and viewers out there, that doesn't
• 1:28:21
  mean we're like eschewing our responsibilities of, you know,
• 1:28:24
  like keeping you in the know on games and stuff like that.
• 1:28:26
  You know, like, yeah, we're gonna, we're still going to play
• 1:28:28
  the hot titles and stuff and, you know, keep you guys in the
• 1:28:31
  know about the video games and stuff like that.
• 1:28:33
  All we're saying is like we're curbing our enthusiasm on, on
• 1:28:37
  trying to get everything all at once.
• 1:28:40
  Everything Everywhere, all at once.
• 1:28:41
  There we go. Yeah.
• 1:28:44
  Yeah, plus we'll if we aren't playing a game, we'll bring
• 1:28:47
  somebody in who is and they can talk about it.
• 1:28:50
  Exactly. More guests, more people, yeah.
• 1:28:57
  Also I think this is going to be a year where we're not going to
• 1:29:00
  have nearly as many games as 20/20 5 did like.
• 1:29:07
  I don't know, I I got to go. I got to go back to recall
• 1:29:09
  those, especially with all those world premieres from from the
• 1:29:14
  Keelys from. The Keelys Jeff Keely's birthday
• 1:29:20
  bash. Speaking of, is that the
• 1:29:23
  birthday bash? Is that the next one?
• 1:29:25
  What? Is that his next show?
• 1:29:29
  Like games comment or summer Summer game fest, this is.
• 1:29:32
  Not the only thing Summer's Game Fest and then opening Night Live
• 1:29:35
  and then The Game Awards. OK, Don't, don't Come on.
• 1:29:38
  This year's it's only February. I don't want to hear about this
• 1:29:41
  stuff right now. Yeah.
• 1:29:42
  Yeah. I'm tired of I'm tired.
• 1:29:48
  I guess it's for announcements. I like announcements.
• 1:29:50
  I'm I'm tired, grandpa. No new games for two years
• 1:29:56
  please, I'm tired. Jeff, she was like, that's too
• 1:30:00
  damn bad. You keep digging.
• 1:30:06
  I'll make a Muppets game and you're going to play it
• 1:30:11
  speaking. Black jacket hookers in it.
• 1:30:13
  Speaking up, speaking up. Did he not did he not throw
• 1:30:16
  enough money like to get to get to get The Muppets?
• 1:30:19
  Like we didn't we didn't see Fozzie.
• 1:30:21
  As a matter of fact, we only saw Piggy.
• 1:30:22
  He's. In the he's in The Muppet Show.
• 1:30:25
  Oh, the the reboot that's coming.
• 1:30:28
  Jeff Keeley, he's in the first episode.
• 1:30:29
  Yeah, Yeah, him and him and Sabrina Carpenter are the guests
• 1:30:33
  in the first episode. Let's move on.
• 1:30:38
  What you don't like? You don't like Jeff Keeley or
• 1:30:40
  Sabrina Carpenter? They have, they have their.
• 1:30:43
  They have their places. No, I, I.
• 1:30:49
  Sabrina Carpenter's like 4 foot and.
• 1:30:52
  Their place is The Muppet Show. Yeah, Yikes.
• 1:30:57
  All right, well, on that note, Speaking of The Muppets, we're
• 1:31:02
  not talking about the. Muppets, we're not talking.
• 1:31:04
  About The Muppets, There are several gaming anniversaries
• 1:31:06
  this year though. A lot of major gaming milestones
• 1:31:10
  for franchises this year. A lot of major entries into
• 1:31:14
  franchises getting having anniversaries this year, so 2026
• 1:31:19
  is shaping up to be a huge year for video game anniversaries and
• 1:31:21
  classic franchises celebrating landmark milestones alongside
• 1:31:24
  new releases. Nintendo leads the way with
• 1:31:27
  major anniversaries for The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Kid
• 1:31:30
  Icarus, and Animal Crossing. Donkey Kong turns 45.
• 1:31:35
  Other notable celebrations include Castlevania, Dragon
• 1:31:37
  Quest, Resident Evil hitting 40 or 30 years.
• 1:31:42
  Sonic the Hedgehog, Persona, and Diablo also have significant
• 1:31:48
  anniversaries. Even more recent franchises like
• 1:31:51
  Halo, Luigi's Mansion, and Pikmin all are reaching 25 years
• 1:31:55
  this year. Rune Factory is celebrating its
• 1:32:00
  20. Yeah, dude, dude, I feel like, I
• 1:32:05
  feel like that 25th anniversary Mario edition just came out for
• 1:32:08
  the Wii in that red box. This is, this is, this is wild
• 1:32:12
  that I've been alive for all 40 years, all 40 years of Metroid.
• 1:32:16
  This is wild, you know. I think it's wild that Luigi
• 1:32:20
  Manch Luigi's Mansion on the GameCube is now considered a
• 1:32:23
  retro game. Yep, it's awful.
• 1:32:30
  It's sad, but the GameCube version, they let you invert
• 1:32:35
  this the the stick, which is nice on the GameCube Venice O
• 1:32:39
  version, which you can't do on the GameCube version.
• 1:32:41
  So that's fun. Man.
• 1:32:45
  Anniversary is this this is like, I don't know.
• 1:32:49
  It just feels like this can't be possible.
• 1:32:52
  But also I also don't like to think about how old I am because
• 1:32:55
  I still feel like I'm 20 years old and not 40 like we all I'm
• 1:33:01
  sure do at some point. The fact that Donkey Kong is
• 1:33:04
  older than you Corey, is just wild to me.
• 1:33:07
  I was older than me. Yeah.
• 1:33:11
  See, I see. I I knew, I knew that Pat, but I
• 1:33:14
  thought, I thought, I thought, I thought Corey was already in his
• 1:33:17
  40s. Nope.
• 1:33:19
  Yeah, that's not, that's not and that's not saying anything bad
• 1:33:21
  about Corey. Corey's very mature for I just
• 1:33:24
  look old. No, you don't.
• 1:33:28
  They don't. Corey didn't get enough sleep
• 1:33:30
  and so it aged him. Yeah, dude, I haven't.
• 1:33:33
  I seriously haven't slept in like a week and 1/2.
• 1:33:36
  If I, if I look at if I look at this list, though, let me see.
• 1:33:39
  They're not going to do shit for Donkey Kong's 45th.
• 1:33:41
  Nintendo's not, I mean, Les and Zelda, we're going to, we're
• 1:33:45
  going to, we're going to pray that the, that the Twilight
• 1:33:47
  Princess, what was the other game?
• 1:33:53
  Twilight Princess one way. There we go.
• 1:33:56
  We're. Going to The thing is, it's it's
• 1:33:59
  also the 20th anniversary of Twilight Princess this year.
• 1:34:02
  Yeah. So, like, that would be the two
• 1:34:06
  birds with one stone release. You know what they're going to
• 1:34:09
  do though? They're just going to really,
• 1:34:10
  you know, poop it out on the NSO with a trailer on Twitter at
• 1:34:14
  3:00 in the morning. They're going to, they're going
• 1:34:16
  to, they're going to, they're going to, they're going to give
• 1:34:18
  us, they're going to give us the the, the two, the 2.5 D remake
• 1:34:21
  of the Minish Cap. That's what's going to happen.
• 1:34:25
  That's what's going. To happen we were actually
• 1:34:26
  talking about like wouldn't it be cool if they did like the
• 1:34:30
  maybe not in that art style directly but like a lynx
• 1:34:34
  awakening style Zelda one and Zelda 2 they.
• 1:34:40
  Need to. They need to They need to frack
• 1:34:42
  and do link to the past, not they need.
• 1:34:45
  To do the Oracle games guys. That yes.
• 1:34:48
  I, I, yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree.
• 1:34:51
  I agree. With the third one that never
• 1:34:54
  got released. OK.
• 1:34:56
  Now you. Now you're asking too much.
• 1:34:58
  Now you're asking is pushing. That envelope.
• 1:35:02
  Me and Moto is going to come and be like you're the soul of your
• 1:35:06
  first unborn son is coming with me.
• 1:35:09
  You know what I will give it to. Him.
• 1:35:12
  Oracle Games. That child is being stuffed in a
• 1:35:16
  green pipe at Nintendo World. All right, so.
• 1:35:19
  So yeah. Put him in a toad cap he is.
• 1:35:23
  Yours the Metroid the Metroid 40th is probably not going to go
• 1:35:27
  the way we want we want to go because prime two and three
• 1:35:30
  never got never got their their their remasters.
• 1:35:32
  So knowing, knowing Nintendo, knowing Nintendo, it's going to
• 1:35:37
  be a port of Samus Returns Metroid 2, which I'm all good
• 1:35:42
  for as long as it it works properly on the Switch.
• 1:35:46
  Yeah, I, I would, I I would think that would suffice.
• 1:35:48
  I would play. I would play that again.
• 1:35:50
  I would. I would really play that again.
• 1:35:52
  I mean, here's what's going to happen.
• 1:35:53
  They're going to they're going to port that to Switch and then
• 1:35:58
  they're going to put Metroid Prime 2 on NSO.
• 1:36:01
  Yeah, Why NSO? Because did you see how horribly
• 1:36:06
  Metroid Prime 4 sold? I did see.
• 1:36:09
  It it sold 1,000,000 copies. It didn't even hit a million
• 1:36:12
  copies. They just said it dead.
• 1:36:16
  As of a couple days ago, it didn't.
• 1:36:18
  It didn't even make Nintendo's top.
• 1:36:19
  Sellers, They just released a list.
• 1:36:22
  They said it sold faster than Dread Dead.
• 1:36:27
  And Dread didn't even sell that that well.
• 1:36:31
  Dread was dread. Dread was the fastest selling
• 1:36:33
  metro to date. When dread switch.
• 1:36:35
  Version of Dread, I'll take that where the backgrounds don't run
• 1:36:41
  at 20 frames a second. Oh, you're right, you're right.
• 1:36:44
  Wait, wait. You know what?
• 1:36:45
  I haven't even I haven't even put dread in my Switch too.
• 1:36:47
  Does it play better? No I don't know, I haven't
• 1:36:50
  played it on switch too I guess. But let's see, Kit, Kit Chris
• 1:36:55
  is. Time for has sold over 1,000,000
• 1:36:58
  copies. Nintendo has confirmed it, so it
• 1:37:01
  you know. Well, you know, OK.
• 1:37:05
  OK, kidder, because it's 40th. They're not going to.
• 1:37:08
  Nintendo's not going to do shit with what else is on here.
• 1:37:12
  Pokémon. There's probably something
• 1:37:14
  cooking for Pokémon. For the 30th, yeah, they already
• 1:37:16
  said they're doing a 30th anniversary stream.
• 1:37:19
  Animal Crossing Maybe something for the 20 they.
• 1:37:22
  Did they released the switch to edition?
• 1:37:26
  Oh, wow. Corey.
• 1:37:27
  Oh, this. Yeah.
• 1:37:28
  You you host power block. What?
• 1:37:29
  What am I thinking, Pikmin? I think Pigman's already in this
• 1:37:33
  course. Wait, where?
• 1:37:35
  Where? Where's?
• 1:37:35
  No, they're releasing. They're releasing Switch 2
• 1:37:37
  versions of Pikmin 3 and 4 this year.
• 1:37:40
  Where's Kirby's anniversary at? They they love edging the hell
• 1:37:43
  out of Kirby for some reason. A new.
• 1:37:44
  Game every 30 seconds. It's like a fucking rabbit.
• 1:37:47
  That's why I mentioned it. That's why I mentioned it, you
• 1:37:51
  know? Dude what?
• 1:37:53
  What anniversary is it for Kirby 35?
• 1:37:56
  There will be 35 Kirby games this year.
• 1:38:01
  You know what? We don't care about any of our
• 1:38:02
  other characters. But when Kirby comes around,
• 1:38:04
  he's getting all the. So let's let's move away from
• 1:38:07
  the Nintendo Sphere. Now let's see, Castlevania has a
• 1:38:09
  40th Konami and doing shit with it.
• 1:38:13
  Well I I I heard there's a new 2.5 D Castlevania in
• 1:38:18
  development. Would it be?
• 1:38:20
  Is it going to be a remake of like one of the old school ones?
• 1:38:23
  It's. Probably going to be a re make
• 1:38:26
  of something I'm sure. OK, OK.
• 1:38:30
  I mean. The thing is that they already
• 1:38:32
  blew their load on all those collections, those 2D
• 1:38:34
  collections. The only other collection they
• 1:38:36
  could do would be what Rondo of Blood and simply of the Night.
• 1:38:40
  Move those off of PlayStation. It's only on PlayStation though.
• 1:38:45
  They could do a Lords of Shadow collection.
• 1:38:47
  Yeah, 'cause everybody wants those.
• 1:38:50
  You can post. No, they'll release those N64
• 1:38:53
  games on NSO and that'll be it. We can, we can, We can bet the
• 1:38:57
  Sig has got something going on for the 35th anniversary of
• 1:38:59
  Sonic the Hedgehog. We can.
• 1:39:00
  We can bet it's probably going to be.
• 1:39:02
  It's probably going to be in disguise of a new game.
• 1:39:05
  It's Sonic Frontiers too. They already said there was
• 1:39:07
  going to be a new Sonic game this year and it'll be a sequel
• 1:39:09
  to Frontiers, so. Persona the 30th It's it's it's
• 1:39:14
  5050 on that one because like. Persona 4 Reload remake is
• 1:39:18
  coming probably this year, right?
• 1:39:21
  Possibly. Maybe.
• 1:39:24
  We are a re released a re release.
• 1:39:26
  Of five anything, If anything, we might get a six announcement,
• 1:39:31
  but I don't think we're getting a new game of anything.
• 1:39:35
  The 30th anniversary. I feel I feel the 4th 1 is
• 1:39:38
  coming out in 2027 like early 27.
• 1:39:42
  The 30th anniversary of of Resident Evil is going to be the
• 1:39:48
  Welcome to Raccoon City Part 2 movie.
• 1:39:50
  There's We already know. We already know what's happening
• 1:39:52
  this year for Resident Evil. We already know.
• 1:39:55
  Yeah, yeah. But there's a lot coming out for
• 1:39:57
  Resident Evil this year. We're going to get, Yeah,
• 1:40:01
  they're remaking the first game. Yeah, they're remaking the first
• 1:40:04
  game. They're technically making a
• 1:40:05
  sequel to that game at the same time.
• 1:40:11
  Quake 30th. I doubt anything's happening.
• 1:40:14
  There'll be an announcement at Quakecon, there'll be some big
• 1:40:17
  thing at Quakecon this year. Now here's, now here's the one,
• 1:40:20
  this guy that has me scratching your head and I'm pretty sure
• 1:40:23
  everybody's going to be scratching your head along with
• 1:40:24
  with it. Halo Combat Evolved, 25th
• 1:40:26
  anniversary. I don't, I don't, I don't know.
• 1:40:29
  They're remaking. They're remaking the first game.
• 1:40:32
  It's coming out this fall. Yeah, PlayStation.
• 1:40:36
  Yeah, dude, this is Xbox's 25th anniversary.
• 1:40:39
  They already said their their their four tent poles are
• 1:40:42
  getting a major game release this year.
• 1:40:44
  So it's Sports of Fable, Halo, and Gears are all getting
• 1:40:46
  releases this year. Well, OK, OK, OK.
• 1:40:49
  I, I mean, I knew I, I there's. A war by the way, 20 years old
• 1:40:53
  also. Not on this.
• 1:40:54
  I knew. I knew the I knew the Halo.
• 1:40:55
  I knew Halo was coming out. I didn't realize.
• 1:40:58
  I didn't realize that this is the year of the 25th
• 1:40:59
  anniversary. So, so, so please forgive my
• 1:41:02
  ignorance. Please forgive my ignorance.
• 1:41:04
  I mean, nobody's paying attention to Xbox anymore
• 1:41:06
  anyway, so it's OK. Not even Phil is paying
• 1:41:11
  attention to Xbox. He's like, what?
• 1:41:12
  Oh yeah, I got to speak. Harvest, harvest, harvest moon
• 1:41:17
  like they, I, I swear they release the harvest moon game
• 1:41:19
  every year. So like this year it will
• 1:41:20
  probably be like, you know, like a they'll probably have like an
• 1:41:23
  actual like Symphony live concert thing going on for
• 1:41:27
  Harvest Moon. Yeah, that's because that's it's
• 1:41:31
  the weirdest games get concerts, man.
• 1:41:33
  Yeah. I don't even I don't even know
• 1:41:37
  what to guesstimate for Rune Factory.
• 1:41:41
  Rune Factory right now has their they just came out with the game
• 1:41:45
  last year, the Guardians of Zuma, which is the Japanese
• 1:41:50
  themed. So I don't think we're going to
• 1:41:52
  see anything from them this year.
• 1:41:55
  I also, yeah, and Story of Seasons came out with something
• 1:41:58
  last year too. So we aren't going to see
• 1:42:00
  anything for them this year either.
• 1:42:03
  Diablo. We all know Diablo's going to do
• 1:42:05
  something big this year. Then in the in the form of
• 1:42:07
  another expansion. Yeah, they're, yeah, they
• 1:42:11
  already announced it. Yeah, Yeah, I think we, I think
• 1:42:14
  we hit everything on this list then, right?
• 1:42:18
  Pik Man Pik Man Luigi's Mansion Man Luigi's Mansion 4.
• 1:42:22
  Let's go give it to me. It wouldn't surprise me.
• 1:42:27
  Of a one of those switch ports for the third.
• 1:42:36
  Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me either.
• 1:42:42
  Yeah, I don't know. I feel like, I feel like Pikmin
• 1:42:44
  will get some weird celebration thing outside of games because
• 1:42:48
  it's Miyamoto's baby essentially now.
• 1:42:51
  And like, I don't know, maybe we'll get a cool T-shirt on the
• 1:42:56
  on the. Store.
• 1:42:59
  Or a phone background you can buy with platinum points.
• 1:43:05
  Yeah I would be OK with the pigment 4 expansion.
• 1:43:07
  We get more OG. Yeah, Pigment 4 is an amazing
• 1:43:11
  game. It was, Oh my gosh, I really
• 1:43:14
  want to play a pigment game again.
• 1:43:15
  Well, pigment 3 or 4. Not I can live without two or
• 1:43:19
  one again. I like 1/2 it. 2 can, two can,
• 1:43:24
  you know, 2 can go. Yeah.
• 1:43:28
  So I don't know, man, but yeah, I mean, a lot of anniversaries
• 1:43:37
  this year, man. I, I, I hope we see some love
• 1:43:40
  for some of these. Like Kid Icarus is the odd one,
• 1:43:44
  right? Because we never get anything
• 1:43:46
  for that. I know.
• 1:43:47
  Kid ICRIS has not had a game in 13 years and.
• 1:43:51
  The and the only time they even acknowledge him is when he's in
• 1:43:53
  smash. Yeah man, they're going to,
• 1:43:58
  they're going to port that 3DS version, aren't they?
• 1:44:02
  Better? Maybe they'll maybe they'll
• 1:44:05
  release a little hand pushing like they did with the last one
• 1:44:08
  or whatever. Oh man, what a dumb.
• 1:44:15
  What a dumb thing. For Dragon Quest, I really would
• 1:44:19
  love to see the announcement for 12, but I know 12 has been kind
• 1:44:23
  of in a development hell. You say you don't think we're
• 1:44:28
  going to get like you don't think we're going.
• 1:44:31
  To get you won't get not as a game this year, but I would like
• 1:44:36
  to at least see announcement. I think 12, like they wanted to
• 1:44:39
  go a lot more mature with 12, right?
• 1:44:42
  And I don't know if it was working.
• 1:44:44
  And so I think they had to redesign 12 again, and that's
• 1:44:48
  why it's been taking forever. I just, I just feel like, yeah,
• 1:44:58
  I don't know, I feel like that should be like something, I
• 1:45:04
  don't know. I feel like 12.
• 1:45:05
  It's been so long since we saw we've only seen the logo, right?
• 1:45:09
  And then what's his face passed away?
• 1:45:15
  Toriyama. Toriyama.
• 1:45:17
  So like, I wonder if they're trying to figure out how to
• 1:45:21
  honor him without like, thank you for drawing his.
• 1:45:24
  Thanks for reminding me his. Studio, I think is still around,
• 1:45:27
  right? Because they like his.
• 1:45:29
  It's not just him. He has like a whole slew of
• 1:45:32
  artists that draw like him. Yeah, I know.
• 1:45:35
  Thanks for thanks for reminding me.
• 1:45:37
  Thanks for reminding me. I need to, I need to finish
• 1:45:38
  that, that the latest Dragon Ball series.
• 1:45:41
  Dima, Dima, I need to finish that because I wanted to see.
• 1:45:46
  I wanted to see what his final vision for Dragon Ball was
• 1:45:48
  before he passed away. Yeah, well, you know, Well,
• 1:45:54
  you're welcome, Laurent. That's what I'm here for.
• 1:45:57
  Appreciate you. I appreciate you, I know now I
• 1:46:00
  need to rewatch Super because I love Super.
• 1:46:03
  Despite what everybody else says about it, I love Super.
• 1:46:08
  That's the new one. Is that the one that's ongoing?
• 1:46:12
  That was the well, it's ongoing in in the manga, but but the but
• 1:46:15
  the anime series ended about six years ago now.
• 1:46:22
  I see, I see. Well, that's that's what we got
• 1:46:30
  for anniversaries. Any any final thoughts on any?
• 1:46:34
  What's the one? What's the one franchise you
• 1:46:36
  hope gets a a game for an anniversary?
• 1:46:40
  Out of this out of this list. Out of this list, yeah.
• 1:46:43
  Metroid. That's me.
• 1:46:45
  That's me. We just got a Metroid game
• 1:46:48
  though. We got a lackluster Metroid.
• 1:46:51
  You know there's going to be like 10 years before the next
• 1:46:53
  one they're on. I know, I know, you know.
• 1:46:57
  I'm. I'm I'd I feel like I feel like
• 1:47:00
  nothing's going to surpass dread.
• 1:47:01
  That's the that's the honest truth.
• 1:47:04
  Actually, what they what they need to do is what I've been
• 1:47:07
  begging for when met when Metroid 0 mission came out.
• 1:47:10
  Just go ahead and remake super Metroid.
• 1:47:17
  Just just do it. Just do it.
• 1:47:19
  Do it in that same vein or or do it like Samus returns Metroid
• 1:47:25
  too. Like, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm
• 1:47:29
  telling you like I, like I would, I would, I would blow all
• 1:47:32
  sorts of wads of money, you know, at, at, at Nintendo, if
• 1:47:36
  they do that. I mean, I feel like I feel like
• 1:47:43
  looking at. These hold on, let me say this
• 1:47:46
  and then you can and you can go and then let them be brazen with
• 1:47:49
  it. Have a standard edition, a
• 1:47:51
  digital deluxe version and a legendary edition.
• 1:47:53
  I will probably buy all of them, but it's Super Metroid.
• 1:47:59
  Yeah, I mean I think they need to do like as almost like a 0
• 1:48:02
  mission version of Super Metroid, but like you know,
• 1:48:04
  maybe I don't know if you add stuff to it or not or like it
• 1:48:08
  like a epilogue style thing like.
• 1:48:11
  Well, I mean, look at OK, so they don't have to, they don't
• 1:48:15
  have to take all the, all the expanded weapons that like,
• 1:48:18
  because, because the, I think the magic behind Metroid 0
• 1:48:21
  mission was the fact that they incorporated all the Super
• 1:48:24
  Metroid weapons and upgrades into 0 mission.
• 1:48:27
  So if they kind of do that, they don't have to go dread so far.
• 1:48:31
  They can, they can, they can take it from from Sam's returns,
• 1:48:35
  you know, and, you know, and, you know, like incorporate that
• 1:48:39
  stuff, you know, and I think, and I think that would be just
• 1:48:42
  as fulfilling for most people who are like, OK, we want
• 1:48:44
  something different, you know, you know, because like the
• 1:48:47
  things they changed for Metroid, for Metroid to 0 mission.
• 1:48:50
  They, they, they got rid of that floatiness, you know, they, they
• 1:48:54
  made the, they made the backgrounds lush and, you know,
• 1:48:57
  animated all that stuff and everything.
• 1:48:58
  The game actually, whereas the original Metroid game, like they
• 1:49:03
  condensed them, they, they condensed Metroid and added more
• 1:49:05
  stuff into it, by the way. They condensed it though, that
• 1:49:08
  most people can beat Metroid in under 2 hours, you know, you
• 1:49:12
  know, yeah, I know, you know, like there are people night and
• 1:49:15
  speed running that can beat Super Metroid in under 2 hours
• 1:49:18
  and stuff like that. But the problem is that Super
• 1:49:20
  Metroid suffered from a lot of games in time that SNES games
• 1:49:25
  had. They had the floaty physics, you
• 1:49:27
  know, like God, like Samus wasn't even in water.
• 1:49:30
  And like, it was taking her forever to, to like, to like do
• 1:49:32
  her somersault jump, you know, from one spot to another.
• 1:49:35
  You know, and it's like, it's like that has to go.
• 1:49:38
  Like, you know, I I know a lot of people that I've introduced
• 1:49:41
  Super Metroid to. And like, does does she always
• 1:49:43
  move like this? I'm like, yeah, she always moved
• 1:49:44
  like this. She always moved like this.
• 1:49:51
  Yeah, I think out of this list, like I would love to see a new
• 1:49:56
  kid at Chris, but I think the out of anything I'd probably
• 1:50:04
  look forward to as a new Persona, or at least in terms of
• 1:50:08
  announcements we haven't gotten yet.
• 1:50:10
  Because obviously I'm looking forward to Tomb Raider and
• 1:50:14
  Resident Evil, but I I think we're ready for Persona sex.
• 1:50:21
  I mean Persona 5 is APS three-game right?
• 1:50:23
  I mean that's ridiculous. Talk about long development
• 1:50:28
  cycles. I know they did metaphor in
• 1:50:31
  between there and that remake of three, but still like.
• 1:50:35
  And four well. Thanks, I got to do a price
• 1:50:38
  check on metaphor. If it's if it's if it's cheap
• 1:50:40
  enough. Now I'm finally going to buy it.
• 1:50:43
  Yeah. But well, we, we did it.
• 1:50:54
  We're we're coming up on that special 2 hour mark that we like
• 1:50:58
  to try to be done by. So any, any final thoughts, any
• 1:51:04
  gaming resolutions real quick before we get out of here?
• 1:51:06
  Any I know it's February, but our first show back we usually
• 1:51:10
  do gaming resolutions, but so I think, I think, I think.
• 1:51:15
  Collectively, I think collectively we already said one
• 1:51:17
  thing, buy less games this year. Yeah.
• 1:51:21
  I mean OK so I mentioned this in my backlog game at Gamescast but
• 1:51:27
  my resolutions are I do want to get my 10 RPGs in this time
• 1:51:30
  because I only got 7 last year. I want to try and out of all the
• 1:51:38
  games I play, I want at least 40% of them to be backlog titles
• 1:51:44
  for games that I beat. Nice.
• 1:51:48
  Yeah, cool. I believe in you Pat.
• 1:51:52
  Play more RPGs. I've I've got 1.
• 1:51:55
  RPG. Done so far this year.
• 1:51:57
  Skip work, just head down RPGs. Gosh, I wish I could.
• 1:52:03
  Laron what? What about?
• 1:52:05
  What about you? Honestly, I my biggest gaming
• 1:52:11
  resolution is you actually just be more in the know about what's
• 1:52:14
  going on with this. This the, the landscape of video
• 1:52:16
  games is ever changing and stuff like that.
• 1:52:19
  And, you know, and you know, like, I feel like 2026 is going
• 1:52:22
  to be kind of a turbulent year. Like, you know, like 2025 kind
• 1:52:25
  of like came and went and, and, and it has some, it has some
• 1:52:29
  really bombastic things happen, you know, in the gaming sphere
• 1:52:32
  and stuff like that. And I think, and I think that
• 1:52:34
  even though we projected 2026 is going to be quiet, there's going
• 1:52:37
  to be some, there's going to be some earthquaking like type of
• 1:52:40
  type of things happening in 2026.
• 1:52:42
  And I just want to stay on top of it.
• 1:52:45
  Yeah, yeah, I mean, for me, kind of like Pat, I want a lot of my
• 1:52:51
  games. I want to, I want to finish more
• 1:52:53
  games, but I also want a lot of those games that I finished the
• 1:52:56
  B games that either I've never finished or just completely
• 1:53:01
  missed titles. You know, that's why that's why
• 1:53:04
  I started the year with Fire on them.
• 1:53:05
  Honestly. I mean, I was excited to play
• 1:53:07
  it, but also like I never finished it.
• 1:53:10
  And it's like such an iconic game.
• 1:53:13
  Like that GameCube game is so like held high on a pedestal
• 1:53:18
  that like I wanted to make sure I got it in and and finished it.
• 1:53:22
  So also I'm actually kind of proud of myself that I haven't
• 1:53:28
  purchased any video games this year yet.
• 1:53:33
  And I, yeah, well, I mean there, I mean fire fortunes weaves
• 1:53:38
  coming out soon and that Yoshi game.
• 1:53:40
  And I'll probably buy the upgrade for Mario Wonder because
• 1:53:46
  my son really is starting to get into it.
• 1:53:49
  And that has a lot of like kid friendly helper things in it,
• 1:53:52
  like the the flower floaty thing and stuff like that.
• 1:53:55
  So. It's Zombie with the Koopa kids.
• 1:53:59
  Yeah, Koopa kids are also in it, so I will.
• 1:54:05
  Yeah, that's that's the goal this year.
• 1:54:07
  So I have, I mean, I have the big temple games that I'm
• 1:54:10
  looking forward to, right. Like Wolverine, Fable, Gears,
• 1:54:17
  Fire Emblem, but other than that, it's like I'm just going
• 1:54:21
  to try to focus on these older games that I haven't finished.
• 1:54:25
