- 4:25Radio Voice is a go go today, Bubba.
- 4:28Hell yeah. It's going, let's just, let's
- 4:31just go right into the episode, start fucking doing it.
- 4:33Dude. I was thinking about this after
- 4:37looking around on the Internet. I think October for gaming is
- 4:43about to be really fucking sweet.
- 4:45Oh. It's going to be wild.
- 4:47There's so much coming out next month.
- 4:49Dude, Ghost of Yote if you're Pokémon fans, Pokémon Legends,
- 4:54ZZ-A or Z through a whatever, out of Worlds 2, Battlefield 6,
- 5:01Arc Raiders Double Dragon Revive, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Mina
- 5:06the Hollower. Like all of this is just in
- 5:09October. Like Evan was talking to me and
- 5:12he's like, I don't even know about like money, right?
- 5:14Like this is fucked. And I'm like dude, I want to be
- 5:17a kid again. Where you'd wake up and this
- 5:19Christmas it was just there like cool, I have every new game.
- 5:23I am good to go. Now as an adult, I'm like, I
- 5:26don't know, do I start with Ghost of Yote?
- 5:28I'm not going to play Outer Worlds 2, don't get a fuck, but
- 5:30my wife's going to play Outer Worlds 2.
- 5:32Arc Raiders, I'm going to play the fuck out of that.
- 5:34So Ninja Gaiden, I might hop into that, but I know I'll fall
- 5:37out of that, so I'm not even going to buy it.
- 5:39I'll play it on Game Pass I. Was going to say why would you
- 5:42buy it? You're paying for a service
- 5:43where you get it already. Yeah, that's true dude, but.
- 5:47You you don't owe them anything. It's OK to pay it through Game
- 5:50Pass. They get paid.
- 5:52They all right. And I know the the argument to
- 5:54be had about Game Pass, people are like, well, and I'm like
- 5:57listen, listen it. I think it helps people who
- 6:03cannot afford to spend 70 bucks every couple weeks to every
- 6:07month try new things. I I just like to play a lot of
- 6:12different games and I also don't replay games so.
- 6:15What I'm done, it's there. You pitch it and you're done.
- 6:17You didn't waste money. Yeah, I mean, like Expedition
- 6:2133, I, I bought like the cosmetic pack they had because I
- 6:24was like, fuck it, I want to throw something in their way,
- 6:26right? And this game is fucking
- 6:28incredible. But I I I've always been a big
- 6:31fan of Game Pass Personal. I like Game Pass.
- 6:34I like. Game, I think it's a pretty good
- 6:35deal. I I think where it's at now is
- 6:37getting to that point. It's a little harder to justify
- 6:40when it's $20.00 a month, but I think it's a good deal.
- 6:44Well, I, I think a lot of people who are doing game passed out
- 6:47don't remember like Xbox Live and I know Xbox Live kind of is
- 6:51like a newer dead thing, but they don't remember like when
- 6:54Xbox Live started at the low. I think Xbox Live actually
- 6:56started on the high end, dropped to a reasonable price and then
- 7:00went back up to a high end. If I'm.
- 7:02Not I think near the end of it if you were just getting Xbox
- 7:06Live or like PSN, right, Same same thing.
- 7:11I think they were both about 60 bucks a year and now they don't
- 7:15even offer live. Now it is like a you get a a
- 7:19very pared down version of game pass with with live more or less
- 7:24for the normal price is what it was.
- 7:26I think it's like 5 bucks a month or something like that.
- 7:29So it comes out to 60 bucks a year.
- 7:31Still play online with your friends?
- 7:33Yeah. Yeah.
- 7:34But like still like that's always been part of the
- 7:36consoles, right? Like or for a long long time
- 7:38now. I mean, dude, I mean good old
- 7:42faithful right here, Bobby. I don't got to do nothing.
- 7:45Yeah. Load this bitch up, I hop in
- 7:47discord. I'm with my boys already.
- 7:49No one knows what to play because we're all just brain
- 7:51rotting because we're talking to each other.
- 7:54I'm usually playing something. Yeah, you're, yeah, you're, yes,
- 7:56you. Are witnessing the show.
- 7:59Yes, but I wanted to dig into something a bit further though
- 8:02with October being a great month for gaming in 2025.
- 8:06Yeah. I think 2026 is going to be the
- 8:09new two 2004. Well, after 2004 you also had
- 8:162007. 2007 is a was a banger of a year too.
- 8:20But. I really do think 2004 was that
- 8:23year. I, I think, I don't think very
- 8:27many people would look at it that way and I think it's
- 8:29because of your particular taste.
- 8:32I think 2007 is the year that I see most people bring up.
- 8:36Really. Because like, 2004 was wild.
- 8:39Yeah, it was absolutely. I I don't disagree.
- 8:42But if somebody was going to go back for the last 20 years, and
- 8:47I guess you'd have to go more than that, Yeah, fuck, we're
- 8:50old. OK, dude.
- 8:53But yeah, if you went back the last 25 years, 2004 was
- 8:57fantastic. But that is not typically the
- 9:00one that people will point to. That's when I point to.
- 9:03I know, that's what I'm saying. Well, OK, so you have Half Life
- 9:062, obviously. Halo 2, Doom 3, Star Wars,
- 9:09Knights of the Old Republic, Metal Gear Solid 3, Snake Eater,
- 9:12Grand Theft Auto, San Andrean. Yeah, never mind.
- 9:16Yeah. Fable kill zone Time out hitman.
- 9:21But man, well, that's contracts. It's OK.
- 9:23Sly 2. Band of Thieves.
- 9:25Oh my God, Jack 3. Oh my.
- 9:28Never mind. Yeah, that's a damn good year.
- 9:31Oh. Spider Man 2.
- 9:32Yeah, but 2007 just rattling off a few here.
- 9:37Bioshock, Portal, Halo 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Modern Warfare,
- 9:43Team Fortress 2, Mass Effect Crisis, God of War 2, Rock Band,
- 9:51Uncharted, Drake's Fortune, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption.
- 9:57No, Orange Box didn't come out that year.
- 10:01Yeah, The Witcher Paper Super Paper Mario Paper Mario Party 8.
- 10:07Yes OK 2004, 2007 we'll we'll do this.
- 10:11We'll go. RIP.
- 10:12Those are the 2 greatest years in gaming in my opinion.

- 10:22Fight Fair. Enough.
- 10:24Red dead Revolver. I liked Red dead revolt.

- 11:20fucking year. Yeah.
- 11:21You. You OK?
- 11:22Fine. You win this one.
- 11:24I thought it was just you being biased again.
- 11:26I forgot all everything. Yeah, because Half Life 2 is up
- 11:28there. Yeah, in a year, you're like,
- 11:30that's the greatest thing ever. Yeah, I get it.
- 11:34Both, I think, honestly. Both.
- 11:35Leisure Suit Larry too, by the way.
- 11:38Great. My dad played that one and I
- 11:40only knew about it because there's Playboys he would leave
- 11:42around. You left them around like they
- 11:46were fine art. Dude, you walked around.
- 11:48Surprised me in the slightest. An ashtray right next to the
- 11:51porno mags too. Yeah, half lit.
- 11:53You just like look it around and snatch when you go.
- 11:56You, you know, I think you know, do you know you're not going to
- 12:01leave pornos around? No, I.
- 12:04Didn't mind I was just testing you.
- 12:05I just but. I really, I really, if you met
- 12:11my dad, that wouldn't be the funniest thing to ask if he left
- 12:15pornos around. No did.
- 12:17You really pornos around with Brody?
- 12:19Oh man, my dad had boxes of Playboy, but I I wouldn't really
- 12:23call Playboy porn. I mean.
- 12:26I. Think it is.
- 12:28Very solidified as softcore porn, yes.
- 12:31Yeah, well, they have the porn channel.
- 12:36Anyway, here we find ourselves talking about Born yet again.
- 12:40Yeah, hey, we, we, we are a couple minutes in.
- 12:42But 2026 though with, you know, you got, I mean, fuck, you've
- 12:47Grand Theft, Grand Theft Auto 6. Yeah, that that alone is going
- 12:51to be enough to damn near carry next year.
- 12:55Supposed I will bring them into the talk because it's supposed.
- 12:59Supposed it's something from Valve.
- 13:02It could be Deadlock's release, it could it are, but everyone's
- 13:05pointing to hardware and a game. So if that were to happen dude
- 13:11in 2026 that is. It's insane.
- 13:16Like it it just that will be that in GTA alone.
- 13:20But what other game is coming on 2026?
- 13:21I had a list. I'm looking right now, yeah.
- 13:26Resident Evil Requiem. First light Oh my God.
- 13:32Lords of the Fallen 2:00 you got Pragmata Subnautica 2, The blood
- 13:37of Dawn Walker. I'm very pumped for that game.
- 13:41They got Elder Scrolls 6 on this list.
- 13:42I whoever put this list together.
- 13:44Is out of there. I have been hearing a lot more
- 13:47about Wolverine coming out next year though.
- 13:50Supposedly the next PlayStation Direct and or Game Awards.
- 13:53We'll see that. Yes.
- 13:54So, but James Bond first lights Fable supposedly will drop
- 14:02November, we get gears, right? That's this year still, right?
- 14:04Or is that in 2026? E Day.
- 14:09Yes. I don't remember when we're
- 14:12supposed to get gears. Boy, 2026, I didn't think that
- 14:18was this year. So you got a new you have a new
- 14:21mainline Gears where you're actually playing E day.
- 14:26That's insane. The young Marcus Young Dom A.
- 14:30New Fire Emblem game. I know you're excited.
- 14:32I'm excited. Hey, you're excited.
- 14:34That just got announced that I'm stoked.
- 14:37But like there's so much like good like IP releasing in 2026
- 14:42is what I'm saying. And I just I I really am
- 14:47thinking it's going to the only one that I wish I wish could
- 14:50have actually happened was perfect dark.
- 14:53I looking at this list, I think it's going to be a good year.
- 14:57I don't unless we get a handful. I mean looking at the list of
- 15:022004 and 2007, how many of those are 88 on open critic like or?
- 15:09Legendary titles. It just titles everyone and not
- 15:13everyone but most people know of or the franchise or whatever it
- 15:17may be. Yeah, I think we would have to
- 15:20have a handful more in here for it to solidify itself up there
- 15:24with like a 2004, 2007 type of thing.
- 15:29That being said, there's quite a few games I'm excited for
- 15:32though, that's for sure. Broke bitch, you better I so I
- 15:37am. For those who are new to the
- 15:38show. I am a marketing person's wet
- 15:40dream, for instance, for instance, I had quote UN quote
- 15:46skulls with liquid death. That means I've spent money with
- 15:48liquid death. I had enough skulls, quote UN
- 15:52quote, to purchase a robe, A bathrobe.
- 15:57I will not. The bathrobe is 80 bucks and I
- 15:59had $80.00 worth of skulls When you, when you do the math, I,
- 16:03I'm not going to go there. It came in the mail today.
- 16:07I can't believe you aren't wearing it.
- 16:10I it's upstairs, it's on my, it's on the bed out there at the
- 16:13end of the episode. I'll go, I'll go get it.
- 16:15But so collector's editions and me, obviously, if you look
- 16:20behind me, I'm fucked. I have never purchased a
- 16:26collector's edition of anything. It it just, it has to.
- 16:30I didn't get the Space Marine 21.
- 16:33You talked me out of it. You were like, you don't need
- 16:34it, Nick. And I went and you went you
- 16:37don't need it. And I went OK and I stopped.
- 16:41I didn't do it, yeah. Yeah, I I always think they look
- 16:45cool, but I just can't justify it.
- 16:47They're expensive, man, and they just keep getting more and more
- 16:50expensive. Yeah.
- 16:52I. Think and the things we get in
- 16:53them are smaller and chintzier and like, I don't know.
- 16:58I don't know. I can't do it.
- 17:00It's like, let's see, like the merch that I have on my shelf
- 17:03behind me is good stuff like that is the OG Doom Marine
- 17:08helmet and that is a gravity gun.
- 17:10That's what I want to see companies do.
- 17:13But we we get nowadays is bullshit like OK, why Hollow
- 17:19Knight, which we're going to definitely talk about Silksong
- 17:22today. Where's my boy Jerema?
- 17:28Why do I not have a little marionette puppet of him?
- 17:31I bet you will. Yeah, I do.
- 17:34That's the one. That's like banging the spoons
- 17:36and singing right at the beginning, right?
- 17:37Yeah. Oh yeah, that's my guy.
- 17:39Yeah. Is it a guy?
- 17:40That is. Is it a That's my dude, I don't
- 17:42care. It's my dude I.
- 17:44Was going to say, I don't, I don't, I don't.
- 17:46I don't know if we know. I think it's just.
- 17:48I think, I think Jeremiah. I think Jeremiah is fiery.
- 17:53Yeah. And.
- 17:55Then you open that gate and and they're like, yeah, I did that.
- 17:59And you're like, Nah, I did. It was me.
- 18:02It's me. Don't worry about it.
- 18:04DLC but you play as him. There you go that.
- 18:07'D be sweet and you just walk. Around fucking banging spoons
- 18:10together and sing it. It would.
- 18:12Actually be kind of cool. Would be living it.
- 18:15We'll get to Silk song, but like I want to see like Cuphead did a
- 18:20marionette puppet and I really wanted that it it was like it it
- 18:25was huge. This thing was like really good
- 18:27size and I just want more cool shit like that.
- 18:30Like I'm not saying like like Space Marine 2.
- 18:32I think that was cool. But then I saw the actual size
- 18:35of the bust. Dude, it's not big enough for me
- 18:40to be stoked on. 4/4. It's like 6 inches.
- 18:43It's like that dude. And I'm like but like it's.
- 18:46An awfully small bust. It's Titus.
- 18:50Yeah, like, I mean, it looks big, but I've seen people with
- 18:53it and I'm like, oh, that's tiny.
- 18:55Maybe they're just a big person. Everything is relative when you
- 19:00are a short kick. Nick's holding and he's like, Oh
- 19:04my God. That was wrong.
- 19:07Fuck dude I I just watched it. I want games to be cool again in
- 19:12that sense where I just want to see a lot like more effort
- 19:16because like merch. So people bitch about
- 19:18bootleggers, right, Like bitch about the bootleg community.
- 19:21They bitch about like just people making cool shit for
- 19:23gaming. But like then you look at what
- 19:25like ID and like like even Valve, Valve does nothing for
- 19:29their games anymore. There's no, you can't just buy
- 19:31Valve merch anymore. Like you used to be able.
- 19:34To no, but you can buy keys and crates.
- 19:37You should. If you want to see that unfold
- 19:39into our you hop into the discord.
- 19:41You can watch all of our guys gamble 50 to $100 at a time.
- 19:47I've watched Elliott Cam near do 150 bucks and I went, I went, oh
- 19:52shit, he he was wasted. God golly.
- 19:58But yeah, no, dude, I I think that's what I just want to see
- 20:00more shit return to form like it was in the old days.
- 20:04I'm the old guy yelling right now.
- 20:05But like there felt back in the day, it felt like there was
- 20:08like. It there felt like there was
- 20:11effort put in the marketing. Now it's just like, how much
- 20:13money can we Chuck at YouTube or Twitch?
- 20:16They don't really have to anymore, right?
- 20:19Like I hate it that that's it exactly right.
- 20:21All of all of the kids are just watching people play on Twitch
- 20:25or YouTube. And so the best marketing they
- 20:28can do is pay these people to play their game and kids will
- 20:31see it, especially if you get some of the top like a handful
- 20:35of of kids aimed like Youtubers and stuff.
- 20:41I mean, Oh yeah, it's all over. I'd hate it.
- 20:45There's one one guy my youngest loves to watch, his name's like
- 20:49Sundy or something like that. Drives me absolutely fucking bat
- 20:54shit crazy. But he watches almost every
- 20:57video by this guy. I'm pretty sure I paid this
- 20:59dude's mortgage half the time just from ad revenue that we
- 21:02watch. It's in this house.
- 21:04It's crazy. What does this jerk off play?
- 21:07Oh usually like mods for Among Us and just dumb shit most of
- 21:11the time just. Brain rot.
- 21:13Dude, Oh yeah, it's it's usually Fortnite among us.
- 21:16Like with something like that, I'm like, OK, yeah, man, do.
- 21:19You do you know what the 67 meme is?
- 21:21Why are kids just yelling? OK, you do know what it is.
- 21:24What does it mean? I, I I don't know the the
- 21:28problem with how would they do all of this is it can mean
- 21:32multiple different things and multiple what is that I don't
- 21:36know. Things meant something when we
- 21:38were. Kids, my oldest, we were playing
- 21:40sorry tonight and every time you'd like count your spaces
- 21:44you're like 6-7 and go 6-7 I swear to God.
- 21:49Surprise, you didn't sock him in the gut.
- 21:51I hear it all the time dude I I coach baseball at this age too
- 21:55so it's like I all of the kids are just constantly just memes
- 21:59firing off 1 or another. Last year we had kids that for
- 22:03no apparent reason we just scream chicken jockey at the top
- 22:06of their lungs like. I like I like the chicken jockey
- 22:09meme. Yeah, until you've heard it a
- 22:12lot. Just.
- 22:14It's cool. And Landon's going to come home
- 22:16one day and say something like completely off kilter that
- 22:19you're even like, what the fuck was that?
- 22:22And he's like, what, Dad, you don't think it's cool?
- 22:25You're not cool. Yeah, it's it's I'm.
- 22:27Gonna be like, I know, cool, OK, I am cool.
- 22:31You know, the guy was cool. I I did sweet things I can't
- 22:36talk to you about. I, I don't fully even, I, I
- 22:39asked Bentley to explain it to me.
- 22:40I was like, what does that mean? He's like, you know, like 6.
- 22:44That's not helpful. Stop.
- 22:47Is that a play on 69? No, it, it's something from a
- 22:51song. It's, it's some song.
- 22:53I, I don't know. I don't, I don't know.
- 22:57I don't, I don't know if I care enough to figure it out either.
- 23:00Quite frankly, it's just dumb shit they say.
- 23:03I'm like pissed off right now. I think I'm fucking mad.
- 23:09I don't fucking. Know yeah yeah it goes that way
- 23:13I'm. Going to pour another whiskey
- 23:15because now I'm just pissed because I don't know what that
- 23:17means. And I know I'm cool.
- 23:18I know I'm a fucking cool guy. I got video games in my
- 23:21basement. Come hang.
- 23:22Out, dude. Well that 1818 and 8:20, 20-30
- 23:27and up. Please come hang out.
- 23:30I get. We got there.
- 23:31We dropping new floor in the basement next week.
- 23:33OK, come on. No, I'm stoked on that, though.
- 23:37We'll talk. We're about to get into Silk
- 23:38Song, I think. But dropping all new floor in
- 23:41the basement, bud. Going to get a nice gaming table
- 23:44for like game nights, like poker and like Warhammer and things
- 23:48like that. So like people come with a new
- 23:50couch, new table in the basement.
- 23:52They're still the bed. We're going to just get a new
- 23:54frame for it. But like, people come over from
- 23:58out of town now there's going to be a nice little hardwood floor
- 24:01area, the nice little rug, the whole basement's getting hard
- 24:05like floor, but like, could look nice.
- 24:08Could be the best basement you've ever seen.
- 24:10I think I, I shouldn't do that 'cause I don't like that guy.
- 24:13I'm not going to elaborate on that.
- 24:15But Brody went good going, Nick. Could have just yeah, you.
- 24:21Just couldn't. I don't know why my brain just.
- 24:23I just were vomited anyways. Yeah, you want.
- 24:26To talk about Silksong. Yeah.
- 24:28Do do we want to start with Silksong?
- 24:30Is that where we want to start? I think we should because like,
- 24:35it's going to be, it's going to, unless I plan to talk a lot
- 24:39about Silksong. That's why I'm asking if that's
- 24:41what you want to do first, because I have a couple smaller
- 24:43little tidbits we could talk about briefly.
- 24:46Let's do that really quick. I played in this new game called
- 24:49No I'm Not human. Get that game.
- 24:51It's so fucking sweet. I looked at that game yesterday,
- 24:57it's just looking at the thumbnails in Steam is a fever
- 25:01dream. I was playing with all the
- 25:03lights off and I left that door cracked open.
- 25:06And it was, you know, when you get tired and things kind of
- 25:09start to like, kind of go like, you're like, oh, I got to go to
- 25:12bed. I was like, oh shit, oh shit.
- 25:16Don't like, have you ever gotten that like when you're turning
- 25:19around, like your body starts to like go into like fight mode?
- 25:22I just got, I just got to hoof it.
- 25:25I literally stood up and went and I was out of my basement.
- 25:28Harry went, why are you running through the house at midnight?
- 25:30And I went, I don't know. Anyways, yeah, no, that, that
- 25:37game is really cool. I it's a great idea.
- 25:39It's fun. It's like a horror novel game
- 25:41mix. It's it's super cool.
- 25:44Think of papers, please, but like with just like elements of
- 25:49horror and true scares and like a mix of like the thing 'cause
- 25:54you're trying to figure out like is this person a visitor?
- 25:56Is they are they is the are they not a visitor?
- 26:01It's great. It's it's conceptually cool art
- 26:03styles really cool. I I can't recommend it enough.
- 26:06Oh yeah, yeah, it, it's very neat looking.
- 26:09I I was going to watch you play yesterday, but I was playing the
- 26:13first game on my list, Borderlands.
- 26:16Been playing Borderlands 4. It is.
- 26:18Listen, there is a lot of things going on.
- 26:22Are you about to make the Borderlands community pissed?
- 26:24No, no I am not. OK.
- 26:29I I'm actually really enjoying this game.
- 26:32I'm having a great time with it. I enjoy as somebody who is not a
- 26:35big open world game type of person, I'm digging this one and
- 26:40I think it's just because the combat's fun and that's what the
- 26:43the game is, right? Go around, kill things, get
- 26:45weapons, move on to the next spot.
- 26:48I'm enjoying it a lot. Apparently a lot of people are
- 26:51having trouble running this. I don't, I don't.
- 26:55I haven't touched any of my settings and it's run pretty
- 26:57much Florida State for me. I did have to reset last night
- 27:01because the inventory system just wasn't populating, so I
- 27:05would try to go through and get rid of my guns and shit and I
- 27:09wouldn't do anything. Other than that, I have not had
- 27:13any. I I'm not the type of person
- 27:17that's going to watch my frames too closely in a game like this.
- 27:19I don't need 120 frames. Considering it's a stylized type
- 27:23of game anyway and the the way the art style works it it, I
- 27:27don't know if I would really even be able to tell a
- 27:29difference on this. Granted most games like.
- 27:32Especially if it's something that's more realistic looking.
- 27:34I do like to have higher frames, obviously, but this one so far
- 27:38I'm running with whatever the settings were by default that it
- 27:42determined for me and it's been running great.
- 27:45I feel very bad for the people that are having problems
- 27:49significantly worse than Randy Pitchford is feeling for you
- 27:53all. I will touch on that as well.
- 27:57Well, it's kind of one of those things, like, are we really
- 28:01surprised by anything Randy Pitchford doesn't at this point
- 28:04like. I you know.
- 28:05It's made so much news, so much news.
- 28:08I'm like, this guy's always been a Dick head.
- 28:10He's always been a Dick head. We had a running joke on Diggity
- 28:13that Jeff was going to joust him in a medieval times where he
- 28:16left his fucking USB drive with porn on it.
- 28:19Like I This guy sucks. He's always has.
- 28:21So Eric is in town right now, final boss and he went to
- 28:26Medieval Times. Was he looking for?
- 28:29Porn. I he didn't respond.
- 28:34I said please look for Randy's USB drive.
- 28:40If you find it, let me know how weird it is porn wise.
- 28:46Yeah, Randy Pitchford. He sucks, right Brandy?
- 28:50He just sucks. This is.
- 28:52This is. I know you don't know me.
- 28:54That's fine. Shut the fuck up.
- 28:58He can't. He can't.
- 29:00You just got up because like This is why you have APR team.
- 29:05This is why. They I.
- 29:07I I think he thinks they should. They should because telling PC
- 29:11players no your your computer just sucks.
- 29:16People with 50 nineties are having trouble running this
- 29:19game. It's shocking.
- 29:21Those are bad. But they are.
- 29:23But with the 40 series and like shit like that, I know people
- 29:28who are also like just runs hot dude.
- 29:30The game runs hot. Yeah, it runs.
- 29:32Warm for sure. It's this thing's a crap shoot
- 29:34game dude. And I've heard it's a great game
- 29:37and it's like, the solution here is not to tell players to just
- 29:41go on PlayStation or Xbox because guess what?
- 29:43Those consoles are having issues too.
- 29:45Yeah, yeah, it's poorly optimized.
- 29:47Across Brandy, your solution is null and void because you need a
- 29:52patch, right? So you got to patch whatever in
- 29:56the background is running and killing your game.
- 29:59There's something back there. I I I don't think Randy knows
- 30:04anything about actual game development.
- 30:06Then shut your fucking stupid big fat.
- 30:08Creep. He never will.
- 30:11But I'm I am sure that the team is actively working on a fix,
- 30:15right? There's no way they are.
- 30:17They have to be Borderlands 3 launched like shit on PC as
- 30:20well. It it's it was kind of a known
- 30:23thing like I I assumed it was going to run poorly.
- 30:25I got lucky and it runs well on my PC so I whatever, but also
- 30:29John is playing it on a laptop with a 3070 in it and it's
- 30:35running OK like he had to tone down some settings and stuff but
- 30:38he's running it fine no complaints from him right so
- 30:41it's kind of AI don't know right I I I don't know what's
- 30:44happening I don't know what people are setting up how
- 30:47they're setting it up what they're doing but regarding.
- 30:50What's in their rigs? That's the other thing too, like
- 30:52a lot of people. They throw out their GPU and
- 30:54never even mention their CPU. Like, yeah, well, that's what's
- 30:58OK. So like, I'm not siding with
- 31:00Randy, but to the players who are having issues, consider
- 31:02this. If you have outdated equipment,
- 31:06like let's say you got a brand new graphics card, but your CPU
- 31:10is fucking six years old and there's no hyper threading or
- 31:15multi threading on it. And it's if there is, and it's
- 31:19not a lot and it's just shit, Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade,
- 31:24upgrade. We are also on PC now we are on
- 31:26DDR5, so it is time to get closer to that.
- 31:31Kind of on DDR5 it is still luckily stupid expensive.
- 31:35Yeah, well, no, I mean so. It's still very expensive.
- 31:39So for 64 gigs at Micro Center, I spent 200 bucks when I first
- 31:44bought it. But but I you know what?
- 31:50No, it was. It's expensive.
- 31:51And not only that, you have to get a motherboard that can
- 31:54support it. And you have to, yes, you're
- 31:56swapping out everything. It's not an easy thing like DDR4
- 32:01is still perfectly fine right now.
- 32:03Well, it's it's more optimized in my opinion as well.
- 32:06So like if just upgrade some things guys.
- 32:08But if you're going to upgrade the CPU at this point, and you
- 32:14know what I mean, like just just get the graphics card is the
- 32:18most expensive part. You got a cool ass graphics card
- 32:21just go ahead and slap some new shit in that bitch dude.
- 32:25Yeah, just spend another $800. It's fine.
- 32:28Put. It on a firm Microsoft allows
- 32:29you to do. That never listen to financial
- 32:33advice from Nick. If that is anything that you
- 32:36could take away from this episode, don't do it.
- 32:39Don't listen to Nick. Don't put it on a firm.
- 32:41Don't. Don't put it on a firm.
- 32:43Let's let's roast Randy. He needs to shut the fuck up.
- 32:46He really does because he's making that, he's making that
- 32:48team look like fools and they put a lot of hard work into this
- 32:51game and you can really tell they did.
- 32:52I just don't understand why it's made the news because everyone
- 32:56knew he was going to do some dumb shit like this.
- 32:58He always does. He's a fucking jerk off.
- 33:00Yeah, I, I don't know, I it's a weird thing that I, it's like
- 33:06people forget who he is and what he has done in the past and, and
- 33:11how this always comes up every time a game comes out from from
- 33:15their team, Like, Oh yeah, turns out this guy fucking sucks ass.
- 33:19And it's like, yeah. It's like, it's like if Bobby
- 33:21Kodak talk shit to somebody on Twitter about a game that they
- 33:25didn't agree with that he helped put out, and it's like people
- 33:29are like, Can you believe Bobby did that?
- 33:31I'd be like, yeah, I could. He's a piece of shit.
- 33:35Yeah, yeah, I just ignored it. Like I saw it and I go, yeah,
- 33:39fuck that guy and moved along. But instead it's, you know,
- 33:43capturing the news. I'm just getting people talking
- 33:45about Borderlands 4, which I it's kind of one of those things
- 33:48like I don't. There's no don't give him that.
- 33:51I I'm just. Saying don't it's, you know what
- 33:55I think? I think they made the first
- 33:56movie bad intentionally. Maybe this man's a fucking
- 34:02genius. Maybe we just don't understand.
- 34:04What if the second? Well, maybe we should start not
- 34:06editing the show and just throwing it up as is.
- 34:08There you go. I can't do that.
- 34:11I'll freak out. I know.
- 34:13I won't do that. Yeah, I fucking hate him.
- 34:17Like if Gabe knew will talk shit to me, I'd be like, you know
- 34:22what I mean? Like if Randy pitched with it,
- 34:24I'd be like, suck my Dick. You're a jerk off, dude.
- 34:29Fuck that guy and Bobby Kodak anyways.
- 34:32That being said, if you can run it, it's pretty fun.
- 34:34I'm enjoying it a lot. I.
- 34:36Love the game, I hate the creators.
- 34:38Yeah, pretty Yeah. Hate, hate, Randy.
- 34:41The The invitation to joust still stands, and more than
- 34:45happily do that. I will.
- 34:47I will. Aiming for like between the
- 34:49armor, you know? I don't know if that's a good
- 34:52place to point right now. Fair enough.
- 34:56Fuck Will. So anyway, I played a little bit
- 35:03of the skate bait. Yeah, I did too, man, that's.
- 35:11Is it too late to start over now?
- 35:12Fuck. No dude, that's not going
- 35:14anywhere. That's too fucking funny.
- 35:16Holy shit. The audio listeners are like,
- 35:18what happened? You know what happened.
- 35:20You can. You can discern it.
- 35:22Come on. Whiskey's in, dude.
- 35:24It's. It was an entirely unintentional
- 35:30damn. Damn it.
- 35:31So that's escape video. Beta is OK it it feels soulless
- 35:37man. Are you OK?
- 35:40Yeah, I'm good. OK, I'm OK, I don't want to take
- 35:43but I did a spit take by accident.
- 35:47I was just trying to, you know, get a Segway out of that nudge.
- 35:51Nudge it along. No I don't.
- 35:52I don't allow for that in awkward situations.
- 35:54Yeah, I know. No.
- 35:56It does feel soulless. It it feels soulless, it's going
- 35:59to be free to play. It's out now for everybody.
- 36:02I got like a week early access to it even though I've been on
- 36:06trying to get into it for like a year now.
- 36:09It it's fine. It is fine.
- 36:13It'll be free once it even goes into the one point O release.
- 36:17They're clearly going to make all their money off of
- 36:18microtransactions which I don't know how well it's going to pan
- 36:21out for them. So far everything that we have
- 36:23seen looks like shit. It runs fine.
- 36:29You know what it looks like? It looks like if you allowed, if
- 36:33you released a Sims game and you allowed The Sims to skateboard
- 36:37character wise, it's it's weird. It's weird.
- 36:41It's kind of uncanny, yeah. For me, I remember skate being
- 36:45OK. I as a kid I put in a young
- 36:48teenager, I played the shit out of Tony Hawk games.
- 36:52But as a late teenager, I played skate because it felt like the
- 36:55adult skating game. It was difficult.
- 36:58You had to learn the flips. You had to push and do all this
- 37:01cool and pump and do all this cool shit and had the X-ray
- 37:05feature right when you fucking cracked your ass, dude.
- 37:07It fucking went right into X-ray mode.
- 37:10And that was sweet. It like, you know, Mortal Kombat
- 37:12and, you know, had that in it as well.
- 37:14Yeah. Later on down the road and like,
- 37:16it was really fucking cool to like, bail on your board and
- 37:20fall and break your arm. And now it's like it feels like
- 37:23it's catered to children, which is fine.
- 37:25It's fine because now there's like this whole new drug thing
- 37:28in the game that like skaters can't get hurt type thing.
- 37:34And it's like, ah, I see what you've done.
- 37:38I understand. Well played, well played.
- 37:42So if you're looking to play off nostalgia, this isn't it.
- 37:44In my opinion, the nice part is it is free to play, so you can
- 37:49hop in there, you can try it out and even if you you don't, you
- 37:54don't have to throw any money their way.
- 37:55You can just hop in and play a little bit Dick around in it.
- 37:58I I don't know, it's fine. It yeah, the the cartoony art
- 38:02style to it is very off putting. It's very clearly targeted
- 38:08towards streamers and children. And yes, I I've already seen,
- 38:13yeah, my kids have already watched a handful of videos
- 38:15where it's, you know, some guy do it.
- 38:16I'm going to try to break every bone in my body and you know.
- 38:20You can't do it in this game though.
- 38:21He he was, I don't know if it's something you can turn.
- 38:25It doesn't do the X-ray mode thing, but it had like a bone
- 38:28counter. I can't imagine it's a mod
- 38:30already, but it might be, I guess, especially because yeah,
- 38:33people had access to it in in like the early, early beta.
- 38:36So they they might have modded that in.
- 38:38I'm not sure. I didn't catch all of the video.
- 38:41I just saw some of it. But yeah, it's going to be one
- 38:43of those games. It's going to be a streamer game
- 38:45that they're trying to do some crazy antics and capture the
- 38:48attention of children so they can grow their audience and make
- 38:52their money, right? But other than that, I don't.
- 38:55I don't see a ton of value in it.
- 38:56I'll probably dip into it every once in a while if I'm just
- 38:59bored and want to play something, but I don't know.
- 39:04I don't think it's coming around.
- 39:06I like, I had fun skating around the sandbox and like doing cool
- 39:10tricks and like things like that, but it, I was hoping it
- 39:17would play off my nostalgia, I guess.
- 39:19And when I saw the art style, and it sucks to say that dude,
- 39:23'cause I I'm usually just like, not like a guy who's like, well,
- 39:26the art, like art is important for me, but like, it's like, OK,
- 39:30this is the gameplay fun. Yeah, it's inherently fun, but
- 39:34there's just something about that like art style where I'm
- 39:36like, it's this isn't skate to me.
- 39:39Yeah, again, it felt like The Sims.
- 39:41Like I, I feel like I'm like in The Sims.
- 39:44Yeah, it's kind of weird. Look to it.
- 39:45They look like meth heads. Everything looks like a like a
- 39:47meth head Beaver dream. And I'm like, OK, like this is
- 39:51fucking weird. But like I almost like I was
- 39:54pumped on the Tim Robinson commercial that he did for it,
- 39:57like when he was like during the game Awards or summer game Fest.
- 40:00And it's like, ah, no, I understand.
- 40:04Like I understand now, but no, it's, it's cool, it's free.
- 40:07Go get skate, try it. If you like it, you like it.
- 40:09If you don't, you don't. You didn't have to pay for it.
- 40:12Yeah. It I will not put a single dime
- 40:14into this game. Oh absolutely not.
- 40:16It it reminds me a lot of Ubisoft's Writers Republic
- 40:20without the fun part of it. Yes.
- 40:24Like Writers Republic was fun at times.
- 40:27At least this didn't I? I don't know.
- 40:32I don't know. It was all right.
- 40:33It was all right. Other than that, I don't have
- 40:37anything really new to talk about.
- 40:38I played a game called the rift Breaker, which is like a like a
- 40:44a camp building exploration type of thing.
- 40:47It was something that I focused in on before I went in on nights
- 40:51trying to stay awake. It was pretty fun actually.
- 40:53I enjoyed it a lot. I will go back to it eventually.
- 40:56And then we played some hell divers over the last couple
- 40:58weeks. But really that's that's about
- 41:01it. I won't keep you from I I can
- 41:04tell you want to talk about Silk Song very badly.
- 41:08I do too. It is a fucking damn good game.
- 41:12I want to play hurdling. Hurdling.
- 41:16Yes, I do want to play that game.
- 41:17That's I want to shout that game out.
- 41:18You're like, I thought it was Silk song.
- 41:21It is Silk Song. Time.
- 41:22Yeah. You threw me for a loop there.
- 41:23I thought we were going full silk song here.
- 41:25I I've heard of hurdling. I'm just drawing a blank of
- 41:27which one. It's that cute little like
- 41:29hurdling looking. I don't know how to explain it.
- 41:31Like you got like a bunch of. Yeah, you got these like, yeah,
- 41:35yeah, yeah. Bison looking dudes.
- 41:37They're all fluffy and shit, looks cool.
- 41:39Yeah, it looks good. Got good reviews, came out about
- 41:42a week ago. The cute little cozy game I'm
- 41:44going to play that there you go, you know, get drunk and just
- 41:48lean back in my chair and pass out 20 minutes in.
- 41:50That's fine. A game that you cannot do that
- 41:53with the silks on. So the fans have waited not as
- 41:57long as me for Half Life 3 and that's fine.
- 41:59You guys bitched wait for no reason at this point in my
- 42:02opinion, you got your game. Shut the fuck up.
- 42:06I have now found out that this is also a game I want.
- 42:09Silk song. I am very disappointed I didn't
- 42:13play Hollow Knight. I was going to say, did you play
- 42:15the first one? I did not.
- 42:17It's one of those games where I looked at I'm like, I don't
- 42:19know, Like I like Metroid, Vanius.
- 42:21I just don't know. This is the one for me.
- 42:24As soon as I saw that Silk song hit Game Pass that day and I had
- 42:28been at work all day. So I kind of avoided the the
- 42:32crashes that it did because it crashed every storefront.
- 42:36Yeah. Yeah, every that day too.
- 42:39Every Stormfront. And by the way, to the studios
- 42:42who had a release around this, I am so sorry you had to compete
- 42:45against Team Cherry, all three of them, because my God, this
- 42:51thing is a monster and Oh my God.
- 42:55So I fight, I get home, I load it up on me.
- 42:58All right, we'll see. There was no we'll see.
- 43:02It was an immediate Welcome to Silk song, motherfucker, you're
- 43:04going to keep playing. And I went OK, and I did.
- 43:08And I love it. I am far in this game.
- 43:11I have like my 4th or 5th power. I am an act 2.
- 43:15I am just fucking trailblazing and dying a million fucking
- 43:20times and getting my ass beat and I love it and I hate the
- 43:24wrecks back but all is worth it after you finally learned the
- 43:28pattern of the boss. You beat the boss and you go.
- 43:34It's that breath at the end of each boss you know that you've
- 43:37died to like 1920 times. You fucking spawn back at the
- 43:41bench. You run back to the boss.
- 43:43You fight it again. You grab your cocoon, you fight
- 43:46it. It is Immaculate.
- 43:48To say that this game is not a masterpiece is absolutely wild.
- 43:53I don't have to finish this game to give this game a perfect 10
- 43:56out of 10 right now. This is a game of the year
- 43:59contender. This game is absolutely
- 44:01brilliant. From the sound design to my boy
- 44:04Jerema fucking fare du Mani me me, that is my shit.
- 44:09This game is my shit. I love Silk song.
- 44:13It is wild to me that you are saying that because I didn't
- 44:18think you would even play it. Love it.
- 44:24Who talked you into playing it? Nobody.
- 44:27I just, I followed the hype. I was going to say, 'cause you
- 44:31are, you're typically not the Metroidvania guy.
- 44:36I like the dread. Yeah, dread.
- 44:39Dread was cool. Dread was.
- 44:40Cool. I like I beat dread.
- 44:41I like dread. Fair enough.
- 44:44Yeah. So I am not as far as you, and a
- 44:49lot of that is because Borderlands came out.
- 44:51So I got sidetracked, went into Borderlands pretty heavy.
- 44:58It is. God, it's a fucking good game.
- 45:00And everybody complaining about the time it took them to make
- 45:03this, the fact that it is this fucking huge for a three person
- 45:10team essentially. I'm sure they had some people
- 45:13for like localization and stuff. Yeah, I'm sure.
- 45:17Three people made this game. That is probably 60 hours I
- 45:22think when it's all said and done.
- 45:23From what I'm kind of hearing, if you do like everything, at
- 45:26least in the span of what, 7 years, something like that?
- 45:33Yeah, about that, yeah. Fucking phenomenal that what
- 45:38they are able to accomplish in this game is pretty impressive.
- 45:42Because I'm also not a big Metroidvania person.
- 45:45I tend to, especially if I start to get lost and like, like the
- 45:49first one, I bounced off with the first one real hard.
- 45:52I got like an hour into it. I go, yeah, fuck this.
- 45:56I don't know. I don't.
- 45:57Know where I'm going, I don't know what to.
- 45:59Do like fuck this. Ran into a boss, got my ass,
- 46:02beat a meeting and I was like Nope never loaded it up again.
- 46:07That being said, the way that this game captures your
- 46:11attention, like you said in the very beginning of like, OK,
- 46:16yeah, I'm like, yeah, it's fucking hollow night again.
- 46:18Sure, we'll see how long I last. And next thing you know, I
- 46:21played for like 5 hours straight.
- 46:23Yes. It's like, oh, I have to go to
- 46:25work tomorrow. A retired boy.
- 46:29Yeah, I I stayed up way too late playing it that first night,
- 46:32stayed up too late playing it the second night.
- 46:35The way it it captures your attention by I feel like they
- 46:40learned something from the last one right of instead of being so
- 46:44open right at the beginning, it it there's some form of a path,
- 46:49right? You're going to hit a roadblock,
- 46:51something you can't get past. But it it still feels like
- 46:58you're exploring regardless of it being more linear right at
- 47:01the beginning. That being said, there's also
- 47:05people have found ways to get around that, luring enemies over
- 47:09so they can bounce off of them to get up to areas they aren't
- 47:11supposed to be, and those enemies are usually pretty close
- 47:14by. Almost like it might have been
- 47:16intended. There's a whole section of the
- 47:20game that you can go through that without one of the the
- 47:24powers, and it's a nightmare to do without that power, but you
- 47:29can do it. You can do it.
- 47:31You can do it. I tried.
- 47:33I made it pretty far in that area and I was like, hang on,
- 47:36what the fuck? Turn it around.
- 47:40It is, it is a harsh world, but it is a rewarding world.
- 47:45I I like every time you die and lose like your rosaries and
- 47:50everything else. It's like mother fucker, but if
- 47:54you make it back you can get your shit, but if you get in a
- 47:57hurry, you're more likely to make a mistake and get hurt or
- 48:00maybe not make it there, not get your silk back and your rosaries
- 48:04and everything else. I mean, it's, it's such a clever
- 48:10game. All of the different design
- 48:11choices, all of their enemy designs are fucking gorgeous.
- 48:15The combat sounds fun and fluid and flying guys can suck my
- 48:20Dick. Also 1 little nitpick at the
- 48:25combat. For me personally, and this
- 48:28isn't so much a knock at the game, this is just something I
- 48:31prefer. Sorry, I don't like taking
- 48:36damage when you touch an enemy. I hate it.
- 48:39I that part drives me a little bit crazy.
- 48:41I do kind of wish that it was only on attacks other than that,
- 48:46but it's, it's far from the first game to do that right?
- 48:50And so I'm not, that's not a critical jab at it, it's just my
- 48:54personal preference of like, fuck, man, I, I'm, I'm dodging
- 48:58all this dude's attacks, but I keep like when I dash, I
- 49:03accidentally run into a more something fucking dumb where I
- 49:07just like stand there and get hit twice or something before I
- 49:09realize that I'm like, motherfucker, I'm stupid.
- 49:12But that's just a, a small little nitpick.
- 49:15But yeah, God man, this, all of the bosses I have seen so far
- 49:19have been incredible. The I'm like in what is it
- 49:24Greymore now? You're in Greymore.
- 49:26OK, I'm in Greymore. Yeah, so I'm not.
- 49:28I'm not horribly far right. I'm God, I'm probably 8 hours
- 49:34in, if even that. I'd have to tell you.
- 49:37I'd have to take a look you. Want me to tell you how much
- 49:40time I got in? Yeah, how much you got?
- 49:427.6 days. Already have you left it open?
- 49:48No. What?
- 49:51No. No, just no.
- 49:55Oh man. I love I, I love this game.
- 49:58It is a damn good game. OK so apparently I have 13.9
- 50:01hours. I lied that that's what this
- 50:04game does though. Like it?
- 50:06It just melts time. But it makes you want to play
- 50:09better. That's the thing.
- 50:11Like I get discouraged, I take a break, I come back and I'm like,
- 50:14no, fuck that guy, dude, I'm going to win.
- 50:17And there's a it, it's crazy, like the determination of this
- 50:21game makes me feel to just play and get better and learn and
- 50:25grow as a player. And it helps that Hornet is such
- 50:29an awesome character, such an awesome protagonist.
- 50:34And the world is depressing and everyone is so downtrodden.
- 50:38But the bugs you find along the way are so uplifting at times
- 50:42and like, hey, like, you got this.
- 50:46And I'm like, I do got this and it's just it's it's amazing,
- 50:50dude. Silksong is just so good in
- 50:55every fucking way that it needed to be for as anticipated as it
- 50:58was. That's why this is a game of the
- 51:01year. This game is incredible.
- 51:03The enemies are, like Brody said, are fantastic.
- 51:06The sound design is awesome. The level design is just
- 51:11impeccable. All the hidden little areas you
- 51:14can find that you know, it's it's amazing.
- 51:19I love this fucking game. This is the first time on the
- 51:23show. I'm probably sitting there
- 51:24going, it's not an FPS, am I fucking I'm giving this a 10 out
- 51:26of 10. Like this game is a 10 out of
- 51:2910. Slam dunk, it came out.
- 51:32Recently. Holy shit.
- 51:34For $20. For $20, which is fucking
- 51:39staggering. Yes.
- 51:41I, I, yeah, I I'm seeing. So I looked up how long to beat.
- 51:45They're saying like the IT, I think it's averaging out around
- 51:48like 30 or 40 hours, give or take, is what they're saying.
- 51:53If you have skill. Yeah, if you have skill, I I've
- 51:56seen some people who are like, yeah, I beat in like 15 hours.
- 51:59Listen, I'm not even fucking close.
- 52:02What are you fucking snorting lines?
- 52:04Yeah, right. So yeah, $20 and I almost have
- 52:10it already and I'm not even remotely close to done with this
- 52:13game. Almost down to a dollar an hour
- 52:17of enjoyment from this game. It's an absolute steal and it's
- 52:23such a good game on top of that, right?
- 52:25Like it, it's not only like great value for your money, if
- 52:28that's what how you want to look at it like it is a great
- 52:31experience. Everything about the world, the
- 52:33atmosphere of this this game is fucking phenomenal.
- 52:38Like the the first time you run and well, you're you're your
- 52:42boy. I'm drawn about Germa as you're
- 52:47like walking through this entry section, essentially you just
- 52:52hear singing off in the distance.
- 52:56Yeah. And you're like, what the fuck
- 52:58is that? And so you wander over there and
- 53:00you find that person. The first time you meet the map
- 53:03maker, every time you meet the map maker is you hear singing
- 53:08and you and it's usually like a couple rooms over.
- 53:11So, you know, like, hey, I got to head this direction.
- 53:13It's all spatial as well. Like you can tell what direction
- 53:16it's coming from. God, man, I they, they really
- 53:20have done something special. I think they could have sold
- 53:23this game for $40 and it still would have sold like crazy.
- 53:26Would have been totally happy paying that, but yeah, 30. $40
- 53:30easy, right? But I am just that much more
- 53:33impressed that they're doing it 420.
- 53:39It's just 4/20. It is it is it is awesome.
- 53:45They have created something truly special.
- 53:47And I love Silk song. I love Silk Song so much.
- 53:52This is one of my contenders for game of the year.
- 53:56It just has to be. It just fucking has to be.
- 54:00It's just that good, dude. And once we complete it, we will
- 54:04do a full episode on Silk song. Like hey, start to finish, This
- 54:08is exactly what we thought. Oh.
- 54:10Man, it's going to take me forever to finish the same.
- 54:13I know it'll take me forever, especially just bouncing in and
- 54:17out of games. We were just talking about how
