- 2:30just hear one third of the conversation so Jenna is just a girl you met at PA is
- 2:34that it guys y right that's right okay yeah cool well hello Jenna hello Daniel
- 2:39happy to have you aboard one of the benefits of the old media pass is the
- 2:43ladies yeah that's true oh my God they do so what did you think of PX Dan you
- 2:49uh look I thought it was good actually um to me this year PA looked a awful lot like um my
- 2:56apartment um but the highlight of it was
- 2:59um comfy bed so I had a great time but I mean you do know what happened at PA
- 3:05because you were following along to our live tweeting instagramming and yeah the
- 3:11special Channel you know what I was just glued to [ __ ] 4 on um Snapchat and uh
- 3:15I must say [ __ ] nothing nothing yeah what happened there ly dropped the ball
- 3:22oh I forgot I was going to do something that was you were going to live SnapChat
- 3:27the event M and I stayed glued to
- 3:31[ __ ] 4 at Snapchat and Narry a snap was
- 3:36chatted it's not like Luke to say he's going to do something and then not do it
- 3:40is it it's not like he would do something like claim he's going to send
- 3:43out prizes to some listeners and then not send them or perhaps some science
- 3:47cards they've all been sent now yeah now
- 3:50have my science cards been sent no no we didn't even get any that's a very good
- 3:57point I just realized that is true we got mugs and I think uh I think somebody
- 4:04else somebody else somebody else got a mug yeah finally and how how were they
- 4:09with their mug was it everything they hoped it would be or did you give them a
- 4:12mug with one less person on it they were really hoping they would be we didn't we
- 4:16didn't mention it at all right we didn't mention and then all of a sudden like we
- 4:21like they gone and we back in the hotel and everything and then I got this
- 4:25Snapchat video going I haven't opened this box yet but my face a bit being on
- 4:28this [ __ ] mug and you just send him a text back going
- 4:33say don't open the box yeah don't do not open the box yeah probably best if you
- 4:38don't open the
- 4:41box so we had a lovely time at packs
- 4:45um we I mean we probably maybe share some of the favorite moments but is
- 4:51there some anything in particular Luke that you found to be your favorite thing
- 4:54at packs this year o this is a tough one probably should have anticipated it
- 4:59but I know what it is what is it the medal I won a
- 5:04medal what did you win a medal for for playing a game called Rhino hero I spent
- 5:10three days trying to win a medal now I hear that you were begging for a medal
- 5:15that you asked for one for being the most consistent loser yes I
- 5:20did um and I think if I didn't win that last one he would have just given it to
- 5:25me anyway yeah I think as a general R if uh if there's a person in a
- 5:31wheelchair um and they're begging for something especially if they're doing
- 5:36really badly in the competition they usually do get a medal D you would think
- 5:41that but there is a game company that seems to hate handicapped
- 5:45people go on Bethesda because Luke tried to play the [ __ ] card and it did not
- 5:51work oh Bethesda didn't bow to the [ __ ] so you were trying to play you
- 5:55were trying to play Fallout 4 no all I
- 5:58want was a pin right that was it boy pin
- 6:03yep no not even that it was a little button pin it a badge like not even that
- 6:08no one else wanted them and they were for sale up in the
- 6:13wheelchair I go look I've got a pit boy tattoo and then I go Ed are getting a
- 6:18pin theyve gone well you can line up and I've gone i' already seen the video I
- 6:23don't really want to line up and see that again and he's well we're running
- 6:26out of these but it's the same thing you showed at EB
- 6:30yep perhaps you haven't noticed sir that my friend is handicapped
- 6:35what I don't see handicapped that's fine we've got a ramp we just don't have any
- 6:41pins so yeah thetha not a fan so Fallout
- 6:454 thumbs down yeah come on let's let's not alienate Bethesda now of all times
- 6:51no I know I know let's wait until after they reject our request for for free
- 6:57game to review yeah yeah yeah all right so you want to medal
- 7:03um you also lost uh in an amusing manner a Halo tournament and if the listeners
- 7:09are interested you can go on YouTube and uh and check out that video oh really
- 7:12there's a video of Luke losing at Halo oh that on there now oh God he didn't
- 7:17necessarily lose he didn't get the chance really yeah 40 seconds to go I
- 7:23was R down you were down by was it 12 12 kill there's a number of kills let's say
- 7:2912ish you felt you felt you could you could make a comeback I think I could
- 7:34the ref the ref did not the server crashed the game was over declared
- 7:38finished and they declared the winner triumphant and they said is everyone all
- 7:42right with that and Luke said no I was just about to make my comeback
- 7:48and they said no you won't sir a also why are you standing you were just in
- 7:53that wheelchair a moment ago oh you're confusing everybody oh Luke performed so
- 7:57many miracles this weekend yeah he did like he would roll over to something and
- 8:01then just stand up and walk yeah and he played Just Dance Just Dance oh God so
- 8:08everyone thought you were faking it in other words I wasn't faking it we I'm
- 8:13pay I'm still paying for it now and I still using I know you're not faking it
- 8:16but if I was to see someone in a wheelchair at a convention just suddenly
- 8:20get up and play Dance Hero I'd be like come on Dance Hero that was Dance Hero
- 8:26by the way not Dan's hero Al Dan hero Luke is my hero of course I had to carry
- 8:32Jenner at one point I do hope to play Dance Hero one day you're the wi Beneath My Wings
- 8:38Maddie what was your favorite thing of pax Jenna oh I forgot to be thinking of
- 8:43that what I'm trying to think of my favorite thing that can be mentioned on
- 8:47the podcast what was that supposed to Jesus ladies and gentlemen that was my
- 8:51favorite thing oh yeah are you implying that your favorite thing was Matt
- 8:54[ __ ] you after packs is that is that what that was not Matt
- 9:00Luke right yeah and it wasn't after packs it was at packs yeah on stage we
- 9:06had a panel Dan and he didn't [ __ ] you you [ __ ] him he she was playing Luke's hero
- 9:12yeah ladies and gentlemen I I enjoyed that game that was a board game that I
- 9:17ended up going and buying did you yes I now own it awesome you played about five
- 9:21minutes of it after we finally set up we learned how to play set up and
- 9:28played in what half an hour mhm mhm because that's all we had left before
- 9:32before they shut the evening mhm so why don't you to explain to the listeners
- 9:36what it is right so it is a board game where um you play as teams and one team member
- 9:43is a man who is going to the stocks and doing you know Finding resources and
- 9:49selling stocks and making money and then his wife your other team member uh is
- 9:55buying the fanciest outfit for the ball at the end of the week and at the end of
- 10:00each night she comes home and gives you her receipts and you have to yell at her
- 10:04for spending so much money so you have to discuss the budget you have to
- 10:09discuss finances and whether or not she needs that dress to look that nice at
- 10:13the end of the week and you have to decide on what you're going to keep and
- 10:16what she's going to return what and then at the end of the week when you attend
- 10:21the ball the person who's most elegantly dressed like as in it a point system to
- 10:26go with it uh will win it's pretty awesome it is pretty awesome and we we
- 10:33switched it around too so most of the ladies were played by men of course
- 10:39yeah yeah because that's it's just more fun that way yeah and they seem to all
- 10:43take Southern bell accents just like to say my wife was dressed beautifully at the
- 10:50end mine unfortunately was not because I didn't know how to play the game very
- 10:55well yeah or you played it very well to stop her from spending sounds
- 11:01like you did okay well no no because she does have to have enough Elegance at the
- 11:06at the ball otherwise you won't win the idea is to be able to support her yeah
- 11:11right so I see all right what about you what was your favorite thing um my
- 11:18favorite thing may have been Earth light oh that was beautiful
- 11:25because I didn't think I was going to get to do it now um we discussed before
- 11:30that Luke and I had never used like a VR headset like an Oculus Rift or anything
- 11:36and then Dan you used one at um Singapore Comic Con I did no I used one
- 11:40at Manila Comic Con right what did you use did you use the Oculus Rift yeah
- 11:46yeah okay yeah okay well this this thing there's pictures of me on Instagram
- 11:49being disappointed by it so check those out yeah yeah well there's going to be
- 11:54pictures on Instagram of me being delighted by this was this was actually
- 11:58steam VR so it's the HTC headset and uh and the steam controllers okay and what
- 12:04this thing is uh it's a the whole game
- 12:09will be a simulation of what it's like to become an astronaut have go this is
- 12:13exactly what you asked for about two weeks
- 12:17ago yes so um we only got to play A short segment of it which um basically
- 12:23you are inside a hatch in the spa in the ISS M and then the hatch opens and then
- 12:29you have to crawl along the outside of the ISS um kind of hand over hand hand over
- 12:35hand and you've got little triggers and and and controls on the on on the the
- 12:40controller a joystick kind of thing yeah and as you reach out you pull in the
- 12:43trigger to indicate that you're grabbing on and then you crawl along uh and then
- 12:49and then I that's really a spoiler considering the you guys also can't see
- 12:53this but Matt is doing all of the hand motions are the hand motions the spoiler
- 12:57or the words no say because they asked us they asked us
- 13:01not to tell anybody what happens at the end because it's a bit a surprise I I
- 13:06don't think that's so much spoiler for the game but just a spoiler for people
- 13:08using it on the day yeah right no no no I know I know well at the end you you
- 13:12reach this control panel and you're supposed to to adjust one of the the
- 13:16electrical cables and it it kind of um shorts and you get blasted off in space
- 13:21and uh you're kind of just free floating in space it it was kind of like
- 13:26everything that I want from are like because I have you know like when people
- 13:32say oh you know think of a nice relaxing thing my kind of my my my thing that you
- 13:36can't call me on when people say that is that I'm floating around above the Earth
- 13:41kind of looking around in space that's my Rea that's my relaxation place so
- 13:45that wouldn't scare you no like to actually be floating around I mean well
- 13:50you mean like if I got blasted out like of a flaming spaceship might might
- 13:55bother me slightly but um but I mean that's the you know the idea of kind of
- 14:01flirting around up there and looking looking at the Earth and then turning
- 14:04around looking out the other way at just the vastness of everything I don't know
- 14:06I just find that really peaceful in your Visions are you wearing a space suit
- 14:10they're irrelevant they just wearing nothing irrelevant it doesn't you're
- 14:13pulling a luk it's just relaxing doesn't have to be it doesn't have to be
- 14:18scientifically accurate so it's not the Martian no and we have to say big thank
- 14:22you to those guys for letting us in yeah yeah they were C totally we were slack
- 14:27and we didn't actually organize the to meet up with them beforehand and they
- 14:31were full up and they were nice enough to let us in have a chat with us before
- 14:35know I don't even want to admit this if they if they happen to listen that we
- 14:39just neglected to book a time and then yeah because there was a lot at packs
- 14:45and then I don't know for some reason that one just fell through the cracks
- 14:47but then when we saw what it was I was like [ __ ] I have to do that so and when
- 14:52they saw that we were media yeah our podcasty mouths went
- 14:59right around there ISS virtual simulation
- 15:04dicks I've played that and that was that was good so we I got to try the Oculus
- 15:08Rift there oh yeah you guys did that yeah uh that was just more of an
- 15:13experience just hey watch this it was hardly an experience yeah uh the HTC VI
- 15:19which one we just talking about the one we didn't get to try was the new Sony
- 15:22PlayStation VR mhm all right but we are going to do that we yes we weren't able
- 15:27to get in but they invited us to go into the office and do that so we're going to
- 15:30do that at some point stay tuned for that one yep
- 15:36and yeah so that was my favorite thing I think was that it just because it was so
- 15:40I it was very unique because I haven't used VR before and that was kind of like
- 15:45a good introduction yeah and the thing is about how real this is is they'll
- 15:49explain to us like this is out there NASA have contacted them to discuss this
- 15:54yeah right they they went out to show them take this down you are misrepresent
- 16:00us yeah that's right you can't just float around in space and look at things
- 16:04without a space suit on who do you think you are mat who is your consult who is
- 16:08Matthew h who is this guy it's thing you can't call him on it

- 19:10d-pad yeah and there was some switches on the back that I didn't know what they
- 19:13did buty shiny d-pad they didn't seem to do anything with with the switches you
- 19:18they actually there's clips that go into them and also you can adjust the sticks

- 23:42out the um Sasquatch themed games on offer this year um what with the success
- 23:48of the Red Dead Redemption uh expansion that heavily featured the uh the the
- 23:54Sasquatch um I'm pretty sure they're going to be looking to include include
- 23:58that kind of content in a lot of these games uh here today so um I'm I'm just
- 24:04going to have a bit of a wander around and um see what I can see I don't
- 24:08imagine it's going to be too hard to find uh to find what I'm after so um
- 24:13I'll check back in with you in a sec so um oh I've been wandering around
- 24:20for um about an hour now and uh a bit confusing I haven't seen um I haven't
- 24:26seen a whole lot of Sasquatch content on offer um couple of the devs that I spoke
- 24:31to um didn't really know whether they were going to be able to squeeze some of my ideas
- 24:37in um but I mean it's it's fairly positive I'm going to keep looking
- 24:41around I saw something that um I thought uh pretty confident um was a Sasquatch
- 24:47uh on one of the posters for a game um it's called um uh Battlefront so I'm
- 24:53going to go check that out now and uh I'm pretty sure they're going to have what I'm after

- 27:15American hi here that's fine um you can email us at podcast multipl nerdgasm
- 27:22docomo s us a little email or you can uh get us up on Twitter
- 27:28twitter.com am nerdgasm or you can uh you can get on the Instagram
- 27:34instagram.com nerdgasm and uh what else is there he
- 27:39sound like Miss Piggy played quite a few uh indie games
- 27:44at packs as well um one of which um is
- 27:49called a we didn't play this but we we had a presentation on it um asent the
- 27:55space game and I got to say it was pretty impressive it's massive
- 28:01it's like quite an undertaking this is a game that's
- 28:05um been it was developed by one guy for a very long time like three years right
- 28:10and this game you basically it's got a persistent world
- 28:15it's like an MMO sort of it's a persistent sorry I say World persistent
- 28:19Universe of was it 27,000 star system they grow as was
- 28:26billion it could be billion it grows EXP exponentially that's that's the universe
- 28:31billion so but but you can you can you start out right with a basic ship and
- 28:35and you can just fly out and discover U new star systems and planets and and
- 28:42things like that and it it all it's procedurally generated except once
- 28:46somebody's discovered it um it it exists you know in the world and it stays there
- 28:51and you could name it after yourself so for example if you found a planet you
- 28:54could name it Planet D and would you name it danam uh no I wouldn't but Dan
- 29:00might no I think you should all name it Dan I don't understand why any of you
- 29:03would find a planet and not name it Dan that's just insulting exactly but not
- 29:07only that your ship has uh the ability to so all the planets and systems are
- 29:13generated based on actual science so um
- 29:18the the you know the the orbit orbital what do you call it circumference or
- 29:23however you describe that in actual science terms pretend I'm a scientist
- 29:26the orbital circumference is scientifically accurate and also the um
- 29:30thank you Dr Ham I'm a professor professor Dr Ham you're welcome the um
- 29:36the makeup of the planets themselves are all kind of scientific so they the
- 29:40atmosphere will be certain gases and your ship can apparently uh you can set
- 29:45the senses and again he kept pointing out you don't have to do any of this if
- 29:49you don't want to yeah you could just as simple as you want it to
- 29:53be no you could just you could just fly from planet to planet or you could just
- 29:57float near a planet with a big grin on your face enjoying every minute of it
- 30:03yeah um but your your ship senses can sense the um pick up what the the the
- 30:09gas in the atmosphere is and you can build a factory and and you can actually
- 30:14go in in in a sort of pseudo programming language and tell the factory what to do
- 30:18with the gases in the atmosphere to convert them into so you like oh this
- 30:22planet's got a lot of hydrogen and oxygen let's you let's make water you
- 30:26can make a water Factory and then uh and then use that to terraform the planet
- 30:31but then also take that water and sell it to someone on another plan it's like
- 30:35it's kind of mindboggling the amount of stuff that he's done like by himself
- 30:40which is just the by himself yeah and you and so and and not only that you you
- 30:45can get you can fly down from from space to the planet like you just fly it's a
- 30:51continuous journey I don't mean it it says loading Planet no you fly down to
- 30:56the planet land get out walk into a building and start talking to people and
- 31:02like trading with them and stuff it's pretty awesome the thing I really liked
- 31:07about this game is it's what was it it's there's so many different types of game
- 31:13within this game that no matter how you want to play what you want to do you can
- 31:16play that way like I would be a Smuggler in this game yes and so there are people
- 31:20who just what they do they just smuggle stuff between planet and Planet yeah
- 31:24other people you can go out there and you just might want to explore so you
- 31:27can just travel out there and explore and find planets and then sell that
- 31:30information to other players so they can go and terraform it right yeah so you
- 31:35can you can f found Planet Dan right and you can say on this planet no women I
- 31:39don't want any women on this planet right I don't know I don't why you would
- 31:43do that but you could do that and then somebody sure you don't matter sure you
- 31:46don't take advantage of the uh of the demand for women and start smuggling the
- 31:51men and selling them How would how could you tell how could you tell them apart
- 31:56all the women yeah well I'm use my eyeballs
- 32:02okay um there's actually there's also a government that's right so each planet
- 32:07sort of will have you and you elect a leader and then there's councils and the
- 32:14galactic government and the space president it's just I like all way back
- 32:19to him like he had to decide yeah in the end if if it if no one could decide he
- 32:23gets an email and he has to figure it out wait so he he is the space president
- 32:27decides if that's okay what's that the guy he's he's the
- 32:33the space president that's right yeah if if if if the local governments can't
- 32:38figure it all out then he he kind of comes in he has to come in and go no
- 32:41that's stupid and like approves or you know
- 32:47whatever but again he he pointed out that you it's it's as complex or as
- 32:53simple as you want it to be really you don't have to do any of that other
- 32:56advanced stuff and or if you only want to focus on one aspect of it um you know
- 33:01like say smuggling if you want to just smuggle stuff you can just you could do
- 33:04that and they have he has people with like over 2,000 hours um in game now
- 33:10already it's only in Early Access apparently it's just like you can just
- 33:15live in that world and um he's also very
- 33:20driven by feedback so people have said for example he said he's working a lot
- 33:24now on the combat because he said one of the things that people have said needs
- 33:28work is is the combat in it because he's put a lot of effort into all this other
- 33:32stuff which is really deep and and people like it but the combat for people
- 33:36who just want to come in and shoot other spaceships is not as
- 33:41refined yeah so he's doing that and and the other thing they recently had a
- 33:45Kickstarter to hire an artist because um it's because he's been doing himself in
- 33:51his programmer the the art in it was very programmer art before and and so
- 33:55they're working on that now that's a really polite to say it
- 34:00Matt look I I'm work as a developer and and I have the same problem I'm not a
- 34:06designer but yeah so they're sorting that out and also he's he's looking to
- 34:09get a UI designer in to try and simplify
- 34:12some of the more um cerebral control systems like some of the ships and stuff
- 34:18where you've got to go in and it's kind of like a Unix terminal and you've got
- 34:21to type in certain things he wants to try to get someone to figure out how to
- 34:25make that more user friendly so hm but yeah I mean it's called Ascent the space
- 34:30game it looks really cool check it out on Steam um and I mean while you're
- 34:35waiting for something like Star Citizen or if you I don't I mean don't put them
- 34:40down like what like you can play it until star citiz comes out well that's
- 34:44not what I meant what I meant was there's probably a lot of crossover
- 34:48between the two so pick one or the other don't bother with them both yeah so pick
- 34:52one of the other and this one's out now so you know the other one might be a to
- 34:57Derek Smart so I mean Derek Smart it's in the name smart make the Smart Choice
- 35:03as sent the Space Game Jesus
- 35:09so so fluffy kitten Studios H check it out it's pretty cool uh and our
- 35:13interview with uh with James is up on um on the specials Channel and we might pop
- 35:18that up on YouTube as well at some point let you know what else did we play did
- 35:23you want to talk about any of the indie games you played Luke um I ended up
- 35:26going back and playing uh well what was it it was uh I think
- 35:31gems of War oh did you yes we were joking about that oh yeah that was just
- 35:37like Beed or something right we were like you know what's missing from Beed
- 35:41war and a dragon they did have the most interesting looking Booth so I'll give
- 35:47them that what it was is what I found is cuz when I walked past it just looked
- 35:51like Puzzle Quest yeah and when I got in there and found out that yes this is
- 35:56made by the guys who made Puzzle Quest well that explains it m so I actually
- 35:59started downloading it and I started playing and it's just sort of an
- 36:02evolution of Puzzle Quest so you've bought it already what well it's free
- 36:06it's a free to-play app oh okay oh it's a yeah it's just um it brings in a bit
- 36:12of PVP so you can buy things to unlock armor and weapons and all this stuff but
- 36:17you can just play it single player and that's what I'm doing yeah right cuz I
- 36:21really enjoy The Puzzle Quest games and you hate playing games with other people
- 36:25y screw other people so it's like Beed mixed with war yeah so you actually get
- 36:31now when instead of just you picking up new spells or anything you actually
- 36:35build up a team and the different different members of your team have
- 36:39different abilities and they get able to use the abilities by you matching gems
- 36:43and so you got to build your team around what you're going to be fighting right
- 36:47goes like that so it is interesting and I am enjoying it okay all right so and I
- 36:54like Puzzle Quest and it's perfect for just a quick pick up put down game what
- 36:59you doing your too busy watching Indiana Jones no well no but while I'm doing the
- 37:03podcast I just know B sorry what are you playing right now no I am not have you
- 37:10did you get on your Windows phone or on um another device Android Android yes that's a
- 37:17shame yeah I haven't see if I I don't know I don't think achievements come
- 37:22with it so I haven't looked at it might want the Windows phone is just for me traveling
- 37:28and I need when I need achievements is it an indie game you liked Jenna yeah I
- 37:31really liked um SMG you know they did um one more line did you play that one last
- 37:36year Luke one more line yes that's very addictive game I know I know have you
- 37:40seen that Dan one more line uh it's a cocaine game yeah cocaine simul yep
- 37:44that's right yep yep that's all we're going to say about that and uh so their
- 37:49new one death squared yeah was pretty good yeah yeah it's fun it's a
- 37:54Cooperative puzzle game and you're just this little robot square and you have to
- 38:00move to your corresponding circle on the
- 38:05other side of the board yeah but as people move these lasers
- 38:10will they'll move also and they'll hit
- 38:13the uh like your partners and like spikes will pop out of the floor when
- 38:19when you move so you kind of have to coordinate all together mhm as to how
- 38:24you're going to do it so your movements will trigger uh the environment to
- 38:28change in ways that will harm your your teammates yeah so it's a difficult one
- 38:34to explain and when we interviewed him
- 38:36uh on the specialist Channel he also
- 38:41even had trouble describing quite how the gameplay works so we only played two
- 38:46player but there's a four I think did he say there was a six as well or am I
- 38:49making that up don't know we played two-player and there's a four-player
- 38:54mode as well and that uh that looks like it could be be more complicated but he
- 38:59said they were they were still unsure about which is which is tougher and it's
- 39:03pretty fun and frustrating but he said also that that it's actually can be even
- 39:07more frustrating than any of the levels they brought to PEX because they didn't
- 39:10want to scare people off so apparently it can get pretty intense yeah we only
- 39:14played six levels so yeah it might be worth if if you're curious check out uh
- 39:19maybe look up on YouTube some videos of it yeah death squared by SMG Studios
- 39:23we'll put we'll put up some videos we'll link to them because um yeah It's tricky
- 39:27to explain but it's definitely very cool all right I want to talk about uh keep
- 39:32defense a bit as well um you played that as well Luke yes I played that while
- 39:37you're having a chat that's right and got my ass
- 39:41kicked keep defense is a pretty cool combination of um you know the tower
- 39:47defense game man where you place um yeah you place defenses around as people
- 39:52attack it's like a combination of that with a um like a a card batt b game
- 39:59where so all the all the the pieces that
- 40:03you place are cards um kind of like you know like say a Hearthstone or Magic the
- 40:09Gathering style card with a with a character or Monster on it uh and one
- 40:13person plays the defense and one person plays the monsters and uh it's really
- 40:18cool cuz it's got a single player campaign and and as you go along the
- 40:22cards can level up and gain you abilities and stuff like that and then
- 40:25the end game is that you will will play PVP against other humans so um it's kind
- 40:31of like you you play through the single player and you can learn how to do
- 40:34everything and then um and then you play against other people and hope you win
- 40:39and uh it's in development now I think it's it's not out until uh early next
- 40:43year I think and um uh but yeah it looks really really
- 40:47cool um they've got a bunch of kind of physical cards that they had as promos
- 40:52to give away with them and and I know it just looks like um it could be pretty
- 40:58addictive so it's going to be on PC and Mac I believe first and then they want
- 41:03to bring it to the mobile platforms which I think it would do really well on
- 41:07iPad personally I could be wrong about that I'm not an expert what you're not
- 41:11an expert in what games you like I am why and what games will sell well on
- 41:16iPad you're an you are an expert Luke what do you think I'm an expert on
- 41:19everything um what do you think no I think that's a good one especially if
- 41:22you can have that uh cuz that would be good for a pickup put down game so you
- 41:27got your iPad if you can play other people yeah online so be good mobile
- 41:32game like that yeah have a round how long does a round take oh like minute oh
- 41:38right okay yeah yeah it depends I think I'm I assume they get tougher as you
- 41:42have more cards and more more um powerful cards but yeah I think it
- 41:47depends yeah I don't think it I don't think they're very long matches no no
- 41:53definitely not like you know like it's not like a civilization 5 game or
- 41:57anything anything like that not interested not
- 42:03interested all right well I'm going to ask you guys to talk about one because I
- 42:07want to hear more about it and that is armed and gelatinous that's kind of a sore spot for
- 42:13us we were robbed that guy was lying I've never played this game before lying
- 42:20about the arms or the the the guns he's lying about the guns
- 42:27PL of jelly not so many guns this game was actually quite fun
- 42:32and I'm looking forward to it coming out next year yeah you play this little blob
- 42:38thing and we played a it was just like
- 42:42real life one one what was it four it was three for all four four people and
- 42:48so you fly around and you the way you get bigger is you run into other blobs
- 42:53and then you can actually pick up weapons and when you pick up a weapon
- 42:56whichever way you pick it up that's the way it shoots you can't change the
- 42:59direction it shoots yeah which I I wasn't told at first I was like how the
- 43:04[ __ ] do I move this gun the more weapons you pick up then
- 43:08they kind of surround you and you can shoot in any direction they just kind of
- 43:12stick out of you y just like life and um yeah that was the that was the game
- 43:19and it's uh I had a lot of fun playing it and I got I started to learn how to
- 43:23play it towards the end yeah but it was too late it's like it's kind of like you
- 43:28know one of those single screen battle games Dan where it's just like one
- 43:31screen everyone's on one screen shooting at each other yeah and you're acting out
- 43:36Matt's dream just floating in space well no I don't I'm not shooting at anybody
- 43:40dream this is a peaceful dream Matt's dream during war times I'll
- 43:46tell you what next time I have the dream I'll look down and see if I'm gelatinous
- 43:50look down what part of you do you suspect might
- 43:55beus well I don't know I don't know I best not speculate just see if there's a
- 44:00gelatinous blob floating in front of you right or inside of oh it's the
- 44:06opositor there's a indie game no one's
- 44:10made well I also enjoyed it was good to see it because I actually I backed this
- 44:15game on Kickstarter um uh Hollow Knight
- 44:18by team Cherry which is um it's a Metroid Vania Style game which is a
- 44:24genre that I really enjoy um but it's like a little creepy
- 44:29Grim Reaper it's very gothic art yeah so you know it's my must I like it it's
- 44:36like cute go um your second thing just this episode yeah I got a lot of things
- 44:42you know floating in space call me on it having things having things is your
- 44:45thing having things is my thing you can't call me on it
- 44:48um yeah so you explore kind of like in in in Metroid or or Castlevania um you
- 44:53know like all the world is joined together in kind of
- 45:57like it's so responsive and good and so infuriating um I don't know if you
- 46:00recall I I played that with a mouse and keyboard no but you were playing Hollow
- 46:04night and then and because I was getting some footage and then before we left I
- 46:08said no I just want to I want to feel how the controls are because that's kind
- 46:12of like a bug bear for me is like games like I love those games but if the
- 46:16controls aren't good then it shits me but uh you know the controls are really really good
- 46:22so I'm happy about that oh and you know uh yeah is this a is this a conflict of
- 46:27interest or can we discuss John's game yeah we can discuss John's does he
- 46:32listen to the podcast no [ __ ] yeah he does he does oh better not then so can
- 46:37you answer me one question about John's game yeah did it used to be called mow

- 46:55rebranding remade so it's yeah it's a gritty reboot it's actually not a grit
- 47:01fish reboot so it's kind of like um Desperado is kind of half remake and
- 47:05half sequel to El Maran right yeah it's like the opposite
- 47:10of a gritty reboot because this one's kind of all fluffy and right it's a
- 47:13fluffy reboot a lot of fluffy reboots

- 54:44I get in on this right now yeah I saw the Falcon and I was sold the crazy
- 54:49thing it's not that expensive no it's not the starter kit wasn't I'm sure if

- 54:59all the ships is like he here's one for like $20 here's one for $30 like they're
- 55:04not expensive on this by themselves but when you buy all of them I spend over
- 55:10$150 on them that's how they get you the Falcon is like I think 40 or 50 bucks
- 55:15but if you have a look stuff like um the what is it the T 4 the you know the the
