• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, yeah, it was the was the one that

  Speaker 2: got rid of joysticks. I remember being like a three
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: year old and just hurting my hand playing with that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: stiff ass fucking Atari joystick. You had to hold the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: basin place and move the joystick around, so it took
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: all my strength.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Which is exactly why your forearms are so buff right, Yes.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Like Papa, I was also trying to think of a

  Speaker 1: Interesting, well, I've.

  Speaker 3: aspird ship but you can't shoot you're just going through
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: a maze. And okay, I only hold the world record

• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I have third in the world co op Crash Bash
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the Crash Bandicoot party game for that exact same reason,
• 3:59

  Speaker 1: it with.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I rented there one once from a Blockbuster video that
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: rented Nintendo DS games. I only had it for a weekend,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: but I said a couple inaugural world records on it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Nice. All right, Well, look there are some impressive records
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that you were fighting against tens of thousands of people
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to achieve. So you're going to be a Titanus team

  Speaker 1: That's just very silly, very silly. Welcome as always, John

  Speaker 4: I'm doing well.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: I've been stuck at home for for a little bit,
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: so I'm happy to be out interacting with people.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: This is fun. Yes, this is indoors, but it is
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: still socializing. They cannot take that away from us. I'm
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: going to ask you guys the same question. I need
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to know how big of a NEZ fan you both asked? So, John,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: how how about you nes fan? Oh? Yeah, yeah, absolutely
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: I was born right back in eighty two, so that
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: was That was definitely the system that I grew up with.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: You know, I remember getting it for Christmas. I remember
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: starting with Mario being flummixed by Zelda and uh spending
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: way too much time on MegaMan too. Like, yeah, the
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: nes was huge for me growing up.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, change change the Game's absolutely changed the game. Drew,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: what about yourself, You're a You're a little younger than
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: everyone I was good at so far. I think it's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: fair to say it's.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: So weird to be the young one in the group.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: For ones like I want this, I like sit around
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: with friends and like mentioned the s Nests and they
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: get a look of like what you owned one. It
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: still do It's behind me somewhere. So for me, the
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Snest was my first owned console. The NES was the
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: thing my like Coo older cousins had, so I got
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: to play it there. And I think even then, like
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: the difficulty spike from the like the s Nest up
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: to the Nest, Like games were way harder back in
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: the day. I don't care how much younger I was.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I still can't go back to some Nest games and
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: finish them, Like I don't think i'd be a single
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Mega Man on the Nest, but then like the new
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Super Mega Man on the Nets like that, those baby games.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: So yeah, fond of it, not good at it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, games did used to be so much more difficult,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: so I can only imagine it was. It was worse
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: with the Nets partly because like you either couldn't save
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: or you could only save every five hours or something
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: like that, and that was part of the difficulty.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, most most games you couldn't save at all.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: You could get like I remember Dracula's Curse had like
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a matrix, and so did Mega Man, where I had
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: like a little like code matrix that you could in
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: that would take you back to whatever you'd you'd completed.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: A password was fifty characters where the zeros look like
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: ohs oh yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Notebook where you wrote it down and you've lost that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Your progress was gone forever.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: And for some reason, these dickheads also only gave you
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: like three continues, like three gameovers, and it's like, why
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: are you limiting my game overs before I need to
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: start at the beginning of the game.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Relicive the Arcade era, oh boy, it was contra on
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: like ten to fifteen minutes. Yeah, if you do the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: thirty Lives cheap. Yeah, if you could just blast through it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So like they needed to make it hard to you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: get you to put twenty hours into it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you need to be hard to put twenty quarters
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: into it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, So John Drew, I think you make a great team.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Two generations of Nintendo play is coming together.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do this all right.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Seems it is Christmas morning, nineteen eighty eight, and you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: spy a relatively large box sitting beneath the tree. Could
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it be that Santa has finally brought you the game
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: games console that your friends with richer parents have been
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: playing for the last two years. You make your way
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: over to the box, at first carefully removing the wrapper,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: but your excitement gets the better of you, and your
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: fingertips begin to rip and tear at the packaging until
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you reveal an easy bake oven. Your parents don't know you,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and you'll never know love, but cheer up. I'd like
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: each pad to come up with an Anyes themed team name. Please,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Let's start with Ben and Willie. What have you got?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: This was hard for some reason, Like I'm trying to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: come up with like any s puns? It was, it
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: was a little difficult. I only came up with two
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and I don't they're not. Neither of them are very good,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: so let's see them. Let's start anyway. So I've got
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the power gloves just because it was that one accessory
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that seemed illusory that I never owned.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Same when it seems so cool, and still plan on
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: buying one?
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Would they?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And then the Wizards like like the Wizard, except with
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: two z's that's cool, Get a urine and Nintendo Reference
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: all in one.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I like the power glove as a symbol, but I
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: had a friend who thought it was the wing and
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: it was the pea wing, the wings for Mario three.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: They thought it was the pea glove.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, the pea glove.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Oh, so how about we be the pea glove Peak Gloves.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Also, you're in reference.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Peak glove on the Peak Gloves singular role. I think
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: singular's funny. It's singular, all right, how many do you need?
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: It almost it also sounds like like the name of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: your your hip.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Hop group, Peak Glove in the club.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: They are in the club. We've got the Peak Glove.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Let's find out who they'll be facing, John Drew, what
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: do you go? Do you want to go first? Drew?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I can't see any facial cues. That's all good.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I got a few bad ones and one that I'm
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: kind of proud of, so kind of doing the same thing,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: looking for some famous games that we can kind of
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: pun off of. Of course, the most infamous game, Action
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: fifty I kind of like the answers fifty two just
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: was the only thing I can think of the word with.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Then yeah, and then two of my favorite stupid lines
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: from games are the I believe it's from from Pitt
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: the Kiddigris, the eight Plant Curse, so just eight plant curses,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: a plant cursed, or the infamous NPC in the original Zelda.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Actually I think it's on the second one, The Adventures
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: of Link the I Am Error, so we could be
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: the we am error. Then you have a really bad
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: pun that I found that I won't take credit for,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: but I will share. Is the Hello darkness my old friends?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Wait, what's the what's the Nintendo reference though? Darkness?
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Hello Darkness my old friend. Honestly, the one I'm the
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: most proud of. It is a mouthful, and I know
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Matt will hates. So what's almost the funniest one is
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but our team name is in another castle?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: That would annoy me? John, Have you got.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: I've got well? I a word popped in my head.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: Was one of my one of my earliest emulators that
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: I ever used for Nintendo, And in honor of it
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: being such a sausage fest around here, I've gott nesticle.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Let's see, I've also got you know. This is just
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: the name of a of a game that I had
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: when I was a kid that I don't think anyone
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: else owned at all, but it was called bad Dudes.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, are you abandoned to save the President?
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Oh you do know it? I was gonna say, I'm like,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: is I know the line? Is it from that game? Oh?
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: God, you get to Ronald Reagan.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Ultimate Reward?
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: And then the last one I had was kind of
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: a mouthful, but it was no power Glove, no power love.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Could go for a double fisting. I'd like a lot
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of those from both of you. I like a lot
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of those names.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: I'm already I'm already spaced and Drew, you had one
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: that I really liked. It was the it was the
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: one after Eggplant Curse.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I believe.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: Oh they we am Error. Yeah, I am a very
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: large fan of that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: I think it's a fun one. It's a weird one.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: It's a little bit nicer on mad as far as
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: also any yell things later, So I'm cool taking the
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: view are Yeah.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it also sounds like it's like something Bizarro would say.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, we am Error.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I love that. That's such a good team name. And yes,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: thankfully mercifully short. Some of the episode titles lately have
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: been getting very long, so we've got the pea glove
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: versus we am error the pea glove. I'm just gonna
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: think of piss the whole time. Mission accomplished, all right,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And if you're listening to this and thinking my first
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Nintendo console was a wee more pissed, First of all,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: please speak up. We're so old we can't hear you.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And also his order with a little segment we like
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to call passing knowledge.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: The Nintendo Entertainment System or ANYS, is a Japanese games
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: console that was first released in nineteen eighty three. The
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: NES is perhaps most famous for saving the video game industry,
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: which is pretty ironic considering you couldn't even save your game.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: The eight bit console is known for games like Super
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: Mario Bros. The Legend of Zelda, and also other franchises
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: that you've never heard of because they aren't popular anymore.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: It was a console that brought gaming out of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: arcades and into the home, and then out of the
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: main living area of the home and into the basement
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: where it belongs. The NES is known for a wide
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: range of additional accessories like you'd have for an air
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: fryer or a high end sex doll, but Sadly, the
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Nintendo penis attachment never made.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: It to market.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: The popularity of the NS didn't end with the eighties,
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: and many NES games are played on emulators to this day,
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: and thus the vice grip of nostalgia continues. And now,
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: if you'll excuse me, it's absolutely necessary that we play Pandemonium.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Audra. Just before we get to today's games,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I've asked each player to bring in a muse, something
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that inspires them or something they love from this particular fandom.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: The Nintendo Entertainment System is inspiring to me because it's
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a product that tells you exactly what it is. It's
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a system for entertainment. Capitalism would be so much simpler
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: if all products followed this method. Like cream filling vehicle
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: system is more useful to me than OREO, like what
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the fuck's and Oreo, I have no idea what it is.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Cream filling vehicle system is also my porn name. Ben.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: We'll start with you, what's inspiring you from the world
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of NS.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: So my muse is all of my ring tones and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: notifications are a NESH. You know, there's music from any
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: S games like my Yes. My main ringtone is Fero
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Man from Mega Man three, and then like my wife
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: is the main Caslvania theme, my daughter is the clock
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: tower level from Caslvania three. Dad is the contra boss music,
• 15:04

• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and like it's good. The consistency is great that it's
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: from the same fandom across all all Ringtones. Do you
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: ever hear any of those sounds like out of context
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and think, oh shit, they're calling me.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Doesn't pop up much, but I do. It is cool,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Like I'll get a notification every once in a while
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: and people be like Zelda and I'm like, yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: That's right, nice great stuff, great mus great way of
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: being inspired by loved ones. But it's actually about the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: cool Ringtones. They're making a comeback out here Ringtons and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: come back. All right, let's move on over to your
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: p glove teammates, Willie. What have you got? What's inspiring you?
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Well, my ringtones are half super Nintendo, So for my muse,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go with something different.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: I have.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I have the eight vigdo, ANYS style keyboard with a
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: large button and joystick, which is my main controller for
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: gaming because lately I've been playing on the PCUFO fifty,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: which is retro NYS style games from a fictional company.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: So I'm playing any S style games with an NES
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: themed keyboard.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. I think I've heard about this game collection. Yeah,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: it's you can just play it with the old keyboard controller.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this one has like two big buttons and a joystick,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: and so you've programmed the two buttons and it's like
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: an NES advantage.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: So it's like a keyboard with a game pad on it.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Or is like yeah keyboard also or is it just it's.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: A full keyboard and the the controller plugs into it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I will share picts later.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Oh please, hell yeah, let's drop it in the Discord chat. Yeah. Yeah, sweet,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that's very inspiring, Willie. I love remixing old tech for
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the modern purpose. Because that's a new game, right that
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: only came out like last year or something.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yep, it's a new game. It's a new keyboard too.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: But oh sweet, I feel into the idea that it
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: was an old nes piece of hardware.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: No, it just looks like an nes Well.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Look Still very inspiring. Nostalgia is half of what inspires
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: this entire podcast. So yeah, fantastic stuff from the Pea Glove.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Let's move on over, so we am Era John. What's
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: inspiring you from the nes Well?
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, I hate to sound like like I'm repeating
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: someone here, but I'm also repeating myself from past episodes.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: I I if it weren't for this show, I don't
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: know if I ever would have realized how much music
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: means to me in my life, Like in general, it
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: always comes up because my muse is undoubtedly Nintendo music.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Like it is. It's so catchy, you know what.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: They only have four tracks back then with their beat,
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: boot beeps and uh anything from Contra to Mario to
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Zelda to Bubble Babble. They were so brilliant working with
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: with the limited capacity that they had to create music.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: I mean Mega Man music, my ring Tones also Mega
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Man two Wiley Stage or the first Wiley stage is
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: my my main ring tone. You know, if I get
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: a text message, it's the Zelda Discovery sound. You know,
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: all that stuff just is always there in my brain,
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: you know, like it's it's always just like one step way.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Even when we when we created our show Geek Exploration,
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: you know, we purposely went back to an eight bit
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: sound for our theme song because it just it feels
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: right for the types of geeks we are and what
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: we grew up with, you know, paying tribute to that.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. You mentioned it, But you do bring up
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: music often in the in the meuse section. But I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: think etymologically speaking, muse and music must be connected. So
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: it's it's very appropriate you bring it up. And yes,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: such a such a an era that can be defined
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: by sound, yep, is that era of gaming. I'm not
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: sure you can say that about many other eras of gaming.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Once the music becomes more complex, I suppose this is
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: just so iconic because it's so simple.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, even just making the jump to Super Nintendo and
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Sega Genesis, like the music became so much more complicated
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: that it you know, it's better because it's because there's
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: more that you can do with it, but it also
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: loses some of its charm.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and just because you and Ben as as the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: g Exploration Boys are on opposite teams today, I want
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to start like driving that wedge between you, so mad
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: who made nes themes and sounds their their ring tones
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: first and who copied too?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Trying to think of the first time I like, I
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: remember when custom ring tones came out. I had like
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: a razor flip phone. Yeah, so it was probably you,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Like it would have.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Been pretty early on there.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I do know that, like the first one I can
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: remember setting was for my wife. It was a recording
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: of John going honey.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: I forgot about that game was that from?
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: But any stuff would not have been far behind that
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: as soon as like the capability existed.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not too technologically savvy, so it undoubtedly would
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: have been been first.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I tried to drive a wedge and just brought you
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: close together through chat forever all right, And last but
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: not least, drew what is inspiring you from the n ees.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: For me, it has to be that level of like
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: the rumor mill around these games because we didn't have
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: the guides in the internet, so you only sort of
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: had the friend who knew a guy whose uncle maybe
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: worked for Nintendo allegedly, and you would just hear these
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: some I look back on total bullshit rumors, but then
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: you have moments and games where it's like, oh yeah,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: if you stand on this specific block in Mario and
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: hold it down for like twelve seconds, you'll enter the
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: background and get a magic war pipe. Like what the
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: what kind of bullshit? Who's ever got? Oh shit, it works?
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Fuck what?
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: It was a world where games didn't need to necessarily
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: make sense, and secrets could be legitimate secrets, like referencing
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: that we are error thing or other, like those like
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: weird lines you hear in those Zelda games, those like
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: weird rooms where it's like, oh yeah, no, if you
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: burn down this one bush, there's no indication why this
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: bush can be burned down, or why there was a
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: guy they are saying it's a secret in giving you
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: like fifty rupees, but it's there because we can. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: I just love that level of like discovery that the
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Internet hadn't ruined yet.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Nintendo Power was nice about like like they
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: didn't publish that shit day one, like yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be discovered, which was cool.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Plus, if we're going into power route, they would then
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: reveal shit that was like out April Fool's joke, but
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: you wouldn't think of it because it's the Magazinum like
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: a once a month, so you would just be like, oh,
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: you can actually get like mewtwo in the original Smash,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: and it's like, no, you can't, but we're gonna screw
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: with you because we.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Can because all you have is print media, and y'all
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: gonna believe us. That's great, Drew, very inspiring because that
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: was just an era. That was just a time where
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: we weren't sharing as much knowledge and information with each other.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: And I think that era is also dead now and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: we've regressed and we're no longer sharing as much knowledge
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and information. But what a what a time that we
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: could flash back to that again. I guess fantastic. I'm
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: feeling very inspired by all four of our players. Sho
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: should we play some games?
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll put in a quarter.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Drew. Right, teams, time to do
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the opposite of the press playboys and blow on those
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: cartridges cre system as we press starts to enter round one.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Round one is our classic game of deliberation, elimination, and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: deception that today we're calling bad nintentions. I will name
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a category and then offer our teams a list of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: five things opposedly from that category. Teams will discuss and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: select correct answers one by one, avoiding the two fake
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: answers my bad nintentions. If they select a wrong answer,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: they'll be frozen out of the list like an ice
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: climber falling all the way back to base level one.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Not to approval from the fans.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, we've all done that. I'm notoriously bad at
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: this game.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not a fan. All right, Well, we're going to
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: start with a list for the p Glove. The first
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: category is just games for the ne e s. So
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: just was this a real game or is it not
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a real game? So the p Glove here is your list.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Deadly Towers, Bible Adventures, Galactic Sam and the Space Cadets,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Where's Waldough? And Curse of the Nile.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm pretty And Bible Adventures.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those are the two.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Is there is there an order you'd like to say
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the correct answers in as Waldo, I'm confident on that one.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: You want to lock wears Waldo and because we get
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: frozen out one at a time.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Yep, all right, Wes Weld, absolutely correct. I'm sure that
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: was riveting. And then Bible Adventures.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there were three different adventures who threw baby Baby
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Joseph try and get them to the end. You were
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Noah and you had to collect two of each animal.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: It was very bad. Gain. It did not have the
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: ny seal of quality.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: But it is as you have. It'd be weird if
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a real game. After you just said all that,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: it is. Indeed, so there's two points. There is one
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: correct game left. You've got Deadly Towers, Galactic Salmon, the
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Space Cadets, and Curse of the Nile.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I think it's Curse of the Nile.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, I think it's Deadly Towers.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Deadly Towers sounds like it could be. It sounds familiar
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: as well. The Salmon one.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, Galactic Sam, but I mean.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: But dead Towers like a BBC I.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Think you're thinking of Faulty Towers, which is a BBC comedy.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Is goddamn and whatever? Yes, Galactic Sam, and.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: The Galactic said Galactic Salmon.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Gala, look, well look it's one of the ones
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I made up. So let's say Galactic Salmon and the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Space Canets. You guys weren't tempted by it, I'll reveal it. Willie.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I'll go with your gut on this one. You seem
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: to know a lot more about Bible Adventures to night.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Let's go dead.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Go into Deadly Towers. That is great captainmanship, Ben, because
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: it is indeed Deadly Towers. Well done, Willie. Great knowledge.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Do we think Jesus for that one? The Bible Adventures
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: give you powers?
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I always thank Jesus after all of these recordings.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: He's not my kind of guy.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping my sark hasn't translated there. Otherwise I just
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: came out as Christian. All right, let's have a list
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: of any s games for we am error. Here is
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: your list. Super Pitfall, Weed Whackers, Muppet Adventure, Chaos at
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the Carnival, Chubby Cherub, and Shall We Go Tango Disco Edition?
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, Drew, I am so sorry. I'm reticent
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: to attach my my name and faith to anything because
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: super Pitfall sounds like it's a Super Nintendo game. I
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: don't know super Pitfall would have happened on the NEYS.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: Although I know super Pitfall and I think it actually
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: is at ANYS title, I'm willing to stake that one. Okay,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: is there anything that we feel more confident about? Like
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: for for some reason, Chubby Cherub sounds familiar? But see,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: wasn't that just your nickname in high school? I was
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: a scrawny kid. It was it was when I got
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: older that I got fat.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: See for me, Chubby Cherub just seems like the easy
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: fake because we already have a Cherub in pit with Yeah,
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Ikey Blank his game Kidicus think you why is his
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: name Pitton not Kittrius?
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Like it just he was.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Anyways, I could argue that one for hours. So like,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: the Chubby Cherub just seems like an off choice because
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: of that. But if you feel an inkling, no no, no, no,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: no no no no. Okay, do we want to start
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: with super pits? All that takes super Pitfall? And if
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: we somehow I was right in some weird way, We'll
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: do Chubby Cherub next.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, super Pitfall, yes, super Pitfall game? You didn't fall
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: for that pit ball track? Okay? Now do we feel
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: more confident about anything? Like?
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: Like the Muppet one sounds like it could exist, but
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: it also sounds like it could be made up very
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: well to sound like it exists.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, we definitely had Muppet games on the a NES,
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: but none of them come to mind specifically, Like I
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: think they did a pirate one for the NES with
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: the Muppets, but I can't be one hundred percent sure.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: So what was the other choice mat between and besides
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: Muppet and Cherub?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: With the other choices, you you also have weed Whackers
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: and shall we go Tango Disco edition?
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Like the weed Whackers I could see being one, but
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: it doesn't ring a bell. But it seems like it's
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: like paper Boy was a game. But also can he
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: be ripping off that of just like menial task the game? Yeah,
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: oh geez, I'll bite the bullet, I'll take chairup. I'll
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: say Chubby Cherub for the two of us.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: And we'll risk it biting that Chubby Cherub. Yes, it
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: is indeed a real game.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: Look this one up later, that game, Thank you, Thank you, Drew.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: I was willing to do it. Okay, Now, now, the
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: the Tango Disco thing, like it sounds so ridiculous that
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: it might not be made up.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: This feels too early in the game for something that
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: wild to be like a choice. It seems like early
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: enough in the game for Matt to be like, let
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: me give you a really stupid one. You'll obviously skip
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: game in the game.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I don't. My heart says Muppets. Okay, let's do it
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: all right, going with Muppets Adventure, Chaos at the Carnival
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and avoiding shall we go Tango Disco edition? It's the Muppets,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: you got three? That is all Drue. Hey, you know
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Chubby Chair.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: I would have never in a million years picked out
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: and I definitely would have Donemuppets and then like the
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: weed Whackers or something. So you save because I don't
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: know why it sounds familiar, but it does. I must
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: have just read it in an Nintendo Power like randomly ones.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Well, we had the arcade cabinet with all the Nintendo games,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I'm true seeing all the titles.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: There we go, and you didn't see weed Whackers at all.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: All right, next category, we are going to have accessories
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: for the nes so official accessories for the nes They
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: don't have to have been produced by Nintendo themselves, but
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: they were released in retail stores. Is the ruling here?
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: So back on over to the p glove. Maybe that
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: will come in handy for one of these, less one
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: of them. So your list, Zappa, Light Gun, Super Mario
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: paint Palette, Miracle Piano, Quick Shot, whiz Master, and Wake
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: and Play, Where's Master? So much pass picture some of
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: these things.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: The zapper and the piano are the first two.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah you feel in the Zappa and the piano. Yeah.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: The Zeppra for sure, I mean it like that came
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: with Duck Hunt. Like everyone had that duck gun. Yes, indeed,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Zappa like gun, that is correct. And then the Miracle Piano.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Yep, there was a piano.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Yep, Miracle Piano. Absolutely that was you could learn to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: play a full piano on a using the ne e s.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's so cool.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: It was a full keyboard that hooked up and controlled
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: with a game.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Amazing. What were the other ones? There was the Wake
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: and Play. Yes, you have the Super Mario paint palette,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: the Quick Shot, whiz Master, and the Wake and Play.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: The paint palot. I don't think it sounds like it
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: might have been like a Japanese only thing back before
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Super Nintendo Mario Paint.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say that was.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a Super Nintendo game. So maybe he's trying
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: to throw us off by throwing a Supernintendo accessory at.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Us, but he did not for it.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: He did not specify North American market, and there was
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Japan made some off the wall ship.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine what the wee can play would be.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I'm not sure either like the alarm clock,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: but the wiz Master or whatever it is. I could
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: see some third party light gun or something being called that,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: and if Matt saw that, it would definitely get included
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: in this.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Was it or quiz Master, I would include it for
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: both reasons.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: So I would, I mean, I would lean towards either
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: the whiz Master or the U. I guess I think
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: that's I think, just just to keep on theme here,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: I think we should.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Go with the wiz Master. Whiz Master, It is you
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: going with the wiz Masta Yep, Yeah, it's that. The
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: potty wireless controller is indeed the quick shot wiz Master.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: I thought you had them with the pain PALTT there.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was that exact reason. It was using something
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: that might exist for the for the snaz and the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: way you can play is just something that it sounds
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: like an eighties product that they would try and invent
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: for the for a games console. Boots up before you
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: wake up, and.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: It's a pillow that you can use as a controller.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: In your dream only compatible with Mario two.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Dreamline would work with that one too.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Oh good little demo dream Master. Come on, let's give
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: it going. Yeah by all means.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Out.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: After they took out Mike Tyson and he was mister
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: dream how many more can we do?
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: There has to be a sleeper late, there has to
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: be counting sheep man, snore man, one of those.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: A list of accessories for we am error do it
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: here we go, joyboard, rob power glove, homework first waffle
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: iron adapter. All right, well we have two of these
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: pretty easily. Yeah, Rob, for sure.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: You got rob robs a robot right, Yes, it is
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: correct with gyromite.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, robotic operating buddy.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: That's what it was.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: It was their way of breaking into the North American
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: market when it was saturated a byt other game consoles
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: and no one wanted to carry their stuff. They no, no,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: it's a it's a toy.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, And.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Then we'll have to take power gloves. We've discussed the
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: game manplay already. That was our Zappra gun, yes, yes,
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: And can you remind me the other three? Because the fuck.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You have Joyboard, homework first, and Waffle Iron adapter.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: I mean the joyboards only one that sounds plausible, which
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: is the problem. It was a game for the NES
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: that had like a you have to run on a
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: matt kind of thing, like a track. Thinking that maybe
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Think that was just called like the True Amat or something.
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: But like the other two, like what could they even
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: physically be?
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: Like what?
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like like Waffle Iron adapter that that that I don't.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: Know what was the other one again, the iron was
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: the joypad? What was the third one?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Again? Homework first?
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: I mean I could see the homework first being like
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: a clock add on or something if you like finish
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: your homework and like the wait for the clock to
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: finish before you can turn on the system. But like
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: that just seems bizarre and I'm making a bullshit.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for for it to actually be a peripheral for
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: that can that can plug into a system and serve
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: a function, It doesn't seem like either of those.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: So yeah, maybe we should just go joyboard. Yeah, let's
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: go joy Bard. At least at least I won't feel
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: dumb when I get it wrong.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: At least exactly always always a spot way to play
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: this game. It's not Joyboard though Joyboard didn't exist. What
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: is it? It's homework first.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: It was it was a combination lock that went in
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: the cartridge slot and you needed the combination in order
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: to take it out.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: That makes perfect sense. That's so brilliant. I hate it. Yeah,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: that totally makes sense. Oh, it could have been worse.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: You could have said waffle iron adapt, which was just
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: very silly.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Would imagine even modern day, like, could you do a
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: waffle iron that like Prince designed on the waffles based
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: on the game you're playing somehow.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Or even just like powered itself through a controller port
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: or something.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make waffles while you're playing, Yeah.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: For the wake and play. Yeah, that's how it wakes
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: you up. The smell of waffles.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: All right, One last category in this round, and this
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: time we are going into the world of a specific
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: game franchise. I would like No, I wouldn't because I'm
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: going to give you the list. I'm not going to
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: ask you today. This is going to be a list
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: of named enemies in Super Mario Brothers and it's two
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: sequels nineteen eighty five to nineteen.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Ninety translation, all the weird ones you've never heard of?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Some two. Yes, the p glove hair is your list
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: of five? Cooper, Paratrooper, rush Ram, Piget, tri Clode, jumping
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: piranha plant. I'm pretty confident with Piget.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: I was going to say the first one, there's for sure. Wait,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: the paratroopers they didn't come in until Mario World, did
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: they Those are a real enemy. But those are from
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Mario World.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of if they were in Super
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Mario three.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: But I don't.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I don't say they had the guy in the cloud,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: but like otherwise and the dudes that with wings, but
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: like otherwise, there wasn't.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: A Patroopers, all right.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Pigeiget, Yeah, Piget, it is indeed Piget. Yeah, not a
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Pokemon turns out in Super Mario Brothers too.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: The little one who rides the carpets, isn't he? I
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: believe that a little bird dude?
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. A jumping piranha plant, like, is that what it was?
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Jumping piranha plant, yes, jumping piranha plants.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Games let's go with that.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think as.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Long as that's their name, those things do sound right.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Going with jumping piranha plants. Yes, they were first introduced
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: in World Sorry I was doing this.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Do they appear before this nest?
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: And I think Cooper paratroopers are just the ones with
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the wings. So they are introduced in Super Mario Brothers.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: And try Clyde from Super Mario Brothers too, is a boss?
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I think?
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, were we having guesses already? I thought we had
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: one more guess?
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: No, frozen out frozen list you gotta you gotta put.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: So not too bad. We'll we'll see how we am
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: error do with their list.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Let's see if we can do better.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: We have chew Goomber, blurp, fin tooth, Buzzy Beetle, and Roy.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, Buzzy Beetles I am confident in because they show
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: up even in the first nest, the little U greener
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: shelled ones there in the caves.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: Okay, And then I'm I'm pretty confident with Roy as
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: one of the one of the junior koopas in Super
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: Mario three.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Roy Cooper, Yes, all right? You going with Buzzy beats Beetle. Yes,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: indeed there's a point and then Roy Roy Cooper, Roy
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Cooper indeed, yeah, just al yeah.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: I was, I was genuinely worried for some I'm like,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: do they not have names before the nests?
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe though?
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: And they were just like generic like yeah but okay and.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Named after named after Roy Artistan.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they were all all but one were named after
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: famous musicians.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Is he where is he the one that wears the sunglasses?
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Then yep, he is. He's my Mario cart Maine. And
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the other three are Shoe Goomba, Blurup and thin Tooth.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know, we get the goombas that ride
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: around on the shoe the which has another weird Japanese
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: inspired name whose name is eluding me, but I think
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: their here just called shoe Goombas.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: I'll be oh yeah yeah and that and that would
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: have been Mario three with a little that he jumps
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: on the little little yeah you can little plant traps
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, okay, Yeah, let's we'll take Sugoomba sugar it.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Is Schugomber yeah yeah. Blurp is from world as well,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and finn Tooth is just fake. Was one of those
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: fishes that that have have the little little tooth and
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: the fins and the.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Clever well described.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of the times they didn't just look
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: at what they designed and named it like buzzy beetle.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: All right, that is the end of round one. Let's
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: ask Mario to calculate the latest scores. He is a doctor,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: after all. Clever the pea glove are on seven points,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: but we am error are on eight points. It's close.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: It is very close. Up. Next is round two, after
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: these commercials. If you'd like these episodes commercial free, then
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: join us for free over at patreon dot com, Forward
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: slash gatesleepers. I'd rather have written a joke there, but
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: our business manager told me we have to start promoting
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the brand. And I know he doesn't actually listen to these,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: so honestly, fuck you Antoni, or seriously go fuck yourself
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: back soon. Okay. Round two is called Heroes and Villains.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: It's the justification game where each of our players will
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: have one minute to make their case for who they
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: think the real hero and real villain of this fandom is.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I will hear our players out and then rank their cases,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: giving them a score of two, three, four or five.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: And if you come out on top, congratulations if you
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: come out bottom. That's why I made it too, so
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: that no one gets one. And you know, everything has
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: to be a ranking these days because it's better for
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: content and clips and stuff. Fuck you, Antonio. Okay, that's
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: why we're playing this game. So we're gonna start with Ben,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I think, and we always start with heroes first. Let's
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: let's start with the villains this time. Let's hear from
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the bad guys. Ben. You're gonna have one minute to
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: make the case. Who you think the real villain of
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: the ness The time starts now.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: So, uh, Nintendo was the hero of the of the
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: home console, you know, boom, because it busted in the
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: eighties and Nintendo came back and saved it and they
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: were wonderful. But you know, as Harvey dunt As, the
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Great Harvey Dent said, either die hero, you live long
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: enough to see yourself become the villain. And as the
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: years rolled on, Nintendo's heart grew cold and black, and
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: they started to hoard their ip like a dragon, like
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: a greedy dragon sitting on Marios and Zelda's. Uh, they
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: started you know, suing, suing streamers, sending season desists letters
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: recent more recently they're bricking people's uh switch tos for
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: buying used games that they don't like. Uh, they're just
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: there's just a nasty old bunch of fucks now. Uh
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: And like as far as the nes goes, only one
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty eight of the original seven hundred and
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: sixty eight Nintendo games are available for purchase on the
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: on the Nintendo Eastern.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: And that's your time. Oh man, that was a minute.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: That was a minute? Yeah, I was holding the clock
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: up and everything. Wow, that went real quick. I'm not Ben,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. But I know
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: you mentioned about Nintendo's suing people, but I don't think
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: you got to your main point that you were a
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: victim of the A victim of the clock. I guess.
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: So a minute that just goes by so fast it
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: still does say ten seconds on it. Oh or maybe
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: Oh no, I think it was just frozen. I couldn't
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: tell your movie me too.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not trusting John's on this one, obviously. That
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: magnifying glass a few times now? Cool? All right, So yeah,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: I've got a couple of notes down there, Ben, But sorry,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: that's just just the way the clock goes. John if
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: you're not too too blind, could you give us the villain.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not too lying to talk. Goodness, You've got a
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: minute your time, studs.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: Now, all right, My villain is a little more conceptual.
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: We all had that friend who when we were kids,
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: you know, said oh I'm I'm I beat Mike Tyson's
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: punch Out, and we're like, whoa, no shit. And then
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: when we kind of caught on, we're like, hey, no
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: you didn't. They're like, well, no, but I saw my
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: my big brother beat them. My My real villain of
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: the nes Era is dishonesty. Everyone was a little asshole.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: Everyone claimed they could they could see, or they could
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: beat Contra with three lives. You know, they're like, oh, yeah,
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: I totally beat Contra without using the Konami code.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: No you didn't.
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: You didn't beat Mike Tyson's punch out. You did not
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: just spide through World eight on Mario. You didn't beat
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: Zelda on your first try, Get a life, Get a clue.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: That did not happen. Any s created so much dishonesty
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: amongst children that that it really made seconds sick.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: Your older brother did not beat Mike Tyson's punch out
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: even your lie I was even guilty of it.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: I said that, oh you admitted that part. After the
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: after the time got away with its time less time
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: to play with you could you could use some of
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: John's time, Ben I should have. We're still talking villains.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: We're going to move back on over to the peak love.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: This time we're going to hear from Willie and who
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: he thinks the real villain of then e S is?
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Are you ready, Willy?
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Take it away.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: So I think the real villain of the ne e
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: S was any As a difficulty. Before any S, there
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: were arcade games and even entire games where you play
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: and you go for a high score. Of course it
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: got hired eventually, but then Anys games they had a
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: finite end. You play and you want to beat the game.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: But then in order to beat the game, they give
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: you these impossible stats, you know, like you get too lives,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: you get three continuous. Every game is hard. Maybe you
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: don't have a password, there's no safe state. Very few
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: games had batteries. A lot of games did this because
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: of the rental market. They're like, oh, if they rent
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: a game and they can beat it, then they're not
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: gonna want to go and bias. We need to make
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: it artificially hard. So the rental market was part of
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: the problem because the game developers hated the rental but
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: people buying the games. They didn't need to be this
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: hard for people buying the games. Let people enjoy the
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: products that they buy. Ten seconds So, Yes, in conclusion,
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: anys difficulty was too hard. They should have made more
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: easy games or added more difficulty options time.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, I agree, and that is a great thing to do.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: When this ten seconds left is saying conclusion and make
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: that conclusion. That's brilliant, that's great arguing. I agree so much,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: But we still have one argument to hear for who
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: the villain of neys is Drew? Are you ready? Oh,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: I'm ready your time stots now.
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: The biggest issue with the NES is the fact that
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: it started as a console in one country, and when
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: it moved to other countries, it had to deal with
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: so many things related to licensing and agreements and partnerships,
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: and this essential regionalism of the console. That meant that
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: the version of the console we got versus another country
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: god and what games were available for it were limited.
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: Things were missing. The final Fantasy franchise famously has like
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: this whole mixed up chronology because Final Fantasy three in
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: America and Final Fantasy three in Japan aren't the same game,
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: and then eventually it was released here, and then that
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: so Final Fantasy four in Japan is our Final Fantasy three,
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: And there's this whole mixed up chain a Mother and Earthbound,
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: two games most people haven't played, and if they have,
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: probably on a walm or an illegal import of some sort,
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: because you couldn't just get both those games. And in fact,
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: the third Mother game still only is available in America
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: now for the first time, and we still are seeing
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: the ramifications of games we've never heard of or what
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: ever seen because some country decided we get it, you don't,
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: or some licensing didn't go through, and we all missed
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: out on gaming.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Oh right up to the time word economy there, I
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: talked good, what I get.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: We're having notes for the first time ever.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't have tried to improve and should have stayed
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: the same.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: My note literally just says villain regionalism.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Oh that's so good, Ben. I'm going to give you
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: the two points because I feel like I didn't hear
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: the full argument so I think just by default, I've
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: got a that's fair. I've got to put the two
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: points in your direction.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: So you didn't get to my I didn't even get
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: to my argument, much less my conclusion.
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: And we'll never hear it. I'm really sad about that.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: It was a good joke too. Will work on the
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: SNZ episode that we'll do ineffortably in a couple of
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: years time. Certainly, Yeah, use the material.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: Down.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: It's a tough decision because I like all three of
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: these are uments for different reasons, just because there was
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: a little more admin involved. I think I'm going to
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: give Drew the three points for the regionalism. Very strong arguments,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: but it was very you know, global logistics, and I
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: just I get sleepy during.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: That because it's evil how they get away with it.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: They bore you into not caring.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Then I think I'm going to go four points to John.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: I did really love the whole thing of your older
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: brother does does not, did not do this? And kids, bullshit, kids, lie.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine way more so before the internet.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: And five points to Willie, because yes, those games are
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: so goddamn difficult that there's the barrier. Yeah, that's valid,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: very valid. It's it is, it is truth.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: The kids didn't have to lie about Kirby's Dreamland.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: Nope, that's the one game I did remember beating.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: All right, should we should we do that again? But
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: for heroes this time? Maybe at all? More positive? Yeah,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: work our way back up the hill of positivity. All right,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: let's go in reverse order this time, I think, so
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: we'll go back to Drew. All right, Drew your hero
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: from the NES your time starts now.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: There were just so many games for the NS, and
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: yes we had the Blockbusters for the rentals or you know,
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: your cousin maybe, but at the end of the day,
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: it was really having that one friend who had all
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: the different games. So when you went to their place,
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: you had have one library, and then they come to
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: your place for a different library. And it really made
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: this nice communal thing where like you legit made friends
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: with kids in school because they had a game you
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: wanted to play but didn't have any way of their
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: playing of it, and like legitimately, like I have friendships
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: that started as the oh you have XYZ game and
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: I've never played it. Let's do your place this weekend
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: and then my place we can go do some Mario
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: Kart and just having this like this thing that otherwise
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: I think people jokingly kind of referre to as like
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: the indoor kids syndrome of like, oh, you sit at
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: home all day and play your games all by yourself.
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: But even back then, before the Internet, we were making
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: it a community, people who had a shared interest and
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: got to share their favorite games, and having that one
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: friend who had that one game you'd never heard of,
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: and like no one else believe you. You'd all go
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: to their place for our party and be like, WHOA,
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: this game's wild. And honestly, just thank you for the
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: friends I made along the way playing double games.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Perfect. I didn't even give you the ten second timer.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: I was so enthralled by your passionate speech.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: I've had laser twice. I could clearly see your clock
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: even I can see it. I blew up your screen.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: That was wild. I was wandering ticked down. It was excited, totally.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It was listed on Amazon as a timer for
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: old people. Well, they nailed our asses. I wanted a
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: big clock el doing a.
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: Heavy heart of hearing Genie clearly.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, making our way reverse up the list means that
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Willy is up next to declare his hero for the
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: nes fandom. Are you ready, Willy?
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: All right, your time thoughts now?
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: So the only hero that could defeat ANYS difficulty, well,
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: the most easy way to defeat ANYS difficulty was with
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: a cheat device like the Game Genie. You pop that
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: in the NES first, then you pop your game in there,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: and kids start learning programming even without knowing it. You
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: can change the first two digits or letters or digits
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: in a game Genie code to change how the effects work,
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Like you make it E two and you'll jump higher.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: You make it a one and you'll jump lower. So
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: it teaches, It makes the games easy. It can give
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: you infinite continues, infinite lives, and invincibility. So you can
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: rent that game and if you have the right gaming
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: magazine and you could look up the codes in the
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: back back in the day, but you had to buy
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: what was it, cheat cheat code? There's a magazine all
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: cheat codes that had a lot of Game Genie games.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: So yeah, cheating in game cheat codes, but mostly game
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: Genie was the real hero of the NES era.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Game Genie. Yeah, the game show. I had
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: both the well.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Worn little booklet that came with it with all the
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: codes in there, and not all of them, but like
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: a bunch of the guard that thing with your life.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: I remember going to like the bookstore as a kid,
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: like go gig be having enough time to like open
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: up the book sample in the store and like, okay,
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: finding like the one code and like trying to write
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: it down in a book and a piece of paper
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: before I left.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: You could subscribe and four times a year they would
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: send you te codes for the newest games.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Oh cool.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Wasn't there like a hotline too that you could call?
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I don't know headline, but I feel like
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: there was a number on the back of the booklet
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: where you could call.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: And yeah, ask for three wishes.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I need a really big clock.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Old person clock.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: Give it now.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Oh fantastic, excellent hero there, Willie. We're going to hear
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: from John next. Johnny, you ready to keep your hero
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: for the ne e s. Let's do it all right?
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Time starts now?
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: All right, Well, it is important to teach children about
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: things like coding and.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Such.
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: You're doing them a disservice by just allowing them to
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: cut corners. I contend that the amount of hours that
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: we had to spend with that punishing Nintendo difficulty only
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: made us stronger. It build character. It creates a real
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: stick toitiveness that you can't learn anywhere else. My true
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: hero for Nintendo is patience. The patience to time and again,
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: you fall down that same pit, you get hit by
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: that same guy. You finally make it to the boss,
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: and you know, before you can kill Dracula, You've got
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: one hit left, and he kills you, and you have
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: to start back from the beginning and do it all
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: over again ten seconds. I don't have it anymore, But
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: when I was a kid, I never had more patience.
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: I can't do it now, all for a controller.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Nice good stuff. Yeah. I like how that is a
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: direct counterbalance to will least one from the previous round.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah, it teaches patients. Yeah, that's good. I
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: love the I love the think of Bill's character as
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: like that's a good thing. All right, Ben, what come
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: in to you? Remember it is one minute on the clock.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna yeah, I'm keeping you up on screen.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: I'm going for it. Fuck notes, yeah, fuck notes. Are
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: you ready?
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Yes? Time starts now? All right?
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: The only entity, well, there was no entity strong enough
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: to challenge Nintendo's you know, iron grip on their game catalog,
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: so we all had to chip in and do it together.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: The real hero of the nes era is games preservationists,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: developers of emulators, dumpers of ROMs, the humble cedars, uh
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: hosting files for the rest of the world to download.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: You know, basically the champions out there keeping these games
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: alive so you can play something like A Boy and
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: his Blob or Fester's Quest that the evil Nintendo overlords
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: don't want you to play. And anyone who's downloaded, downloaded
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: an emulator and ROMs and keeps them on their system
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: is a video games preservationist. So, uh, who is the
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: hero of this fandom?
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: It's you and I. It's anyone who.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: Strives to preserve legacy of the ne e s or remember,
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: if you can't buy it, it's not priorcy, it's preservation.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: God fucking damn it. Good stuff. I caught that of
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: the oh can I was just thinking, let's say it's
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: King King now apparently, Yeah, I'll be keeping up. Okay,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: that is a tough set of heroes to now rank
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: and skull because those were all excellent arguments and nobody
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: failed by a technicality for death. I think I am
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: gonna give I'm going to start the opposite side this
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: time and say the full five points is going to
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: bend for that impassioned speech. And there it went to
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: you and I, it went, it went to people, it
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: went to us, and we're all the hero. Apart from
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: that sort of display at trying to win over myself
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: and the audience and everyone, I also think it's a
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: very valid point of like, I've only played a bunch
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: of these games because of emulators, so it's allows future
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: generations to keep playing these games. Not that I'm future generations.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: So five points there, cool, Okay, then we are looking
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: at this is so tough. It's all right, you can
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: give me the four. Actually, John, just for that and
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: because it was the thing of building character. I don't
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: know that I necessarily fully like that angle as the hero.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: It sounds more like the villain. I'm going to go
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: four for Drew. For communal game pool, Oh yeah, that's
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: happened because it brought again. It's the community, it's the
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: it's every We were each other's libraries back in the day.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: We could just loan each other things. Now We're all
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: obsessed with protecting our whatever assets we do have in
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: this century.
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: And the games you do have are digital and can't
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: be shared half the time. Anyways, that's true, that's true.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Although I have started buying CDs, so if anyone would
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: like to loan a CD the game Genie, but also Patience.
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: What does Patients ever gotten? Anybody a kick ass guns
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: and Roses song? Yeah, you're right, John?
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Two points for you, three points, three points, as many
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: points as I can get. I'm relentless this time. I'm
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: just not a guns and Roses fan. That's all it is.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: That is the end of the rounds. Let's ask mother
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: brain to calculate the later scores. If a sentient brain
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: isn't smart enough to do so, somebody needs to save us,
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Save us kind of the pea glove are on twenty
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: two points. We am error are on twenty one points earned.
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: I was hoping you were going to do the mother
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: brain voice from Captain in the game Master.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: I've not practiced. Would you like to give me a John?
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if I could. I think it
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: was something like this, kind of a weird warble. I
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: love it.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: Disturbed Southern lady.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think it was actually a man doing the voice.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: It was such a bizarre choice for an alien brain.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't sound too evil. I'm gonna have to
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: go back and watch it. See how I did Round
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: three next, after these smart ads for the Nintendo Switch to,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: I'm personally waiting for the PS five two, and I
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: guess a few people are waiting for the Xbox Series
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: X two. When will this cultural cycle end back soon?
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: Round three is called Merch Table. It's the game of
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: ridiculous merch items and even more ridiculous prices. I will
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: show our players a piece of neys inspired merch listed
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: on the drop shipping aislop digital retailer Etsy dot com.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: They will each then place a bid for how much
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: they think this item has been listed for in US dollars. Sorry, drew.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: The closest bid to the real listing scores a point.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: But I will also hand out bonus points for how
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: close you and others may be, so even if all
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: four of you are miles away, the closest answer will
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: still score a point. Okay, all you get to go
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: off of is the title. Oop, there we go. The
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: title and the image I will drop in our group
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: chat here. Okay, the first item winning Tips for Nintendo
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: or nineteen ninety strategy guide book NYS, game Boy, Super Mario, Ductails,
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Castle Vane Near retro Gamer collectible paperback. Imagine how hard
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: it is to write a Christmas lists as a kid
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: in this generation. You have to write like fifty words
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: per product. So this is a game kind of about
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: knowing the fandom and how much things might be worth,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: but it's also a game of how much of people
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: charging for things on etzy these days, which.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: Is before we go into the answers, could we just
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: discuss this cover for half a second. That rabbit is
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: gonna haunt my dreams for the end of my life,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: only I hate it so much.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: There's a rabbit.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's wearing like a like he's got like a
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: a like twishbowl spaceman helmet, but his ears come out
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: of it for some reason.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: And a pipe. He's like a flesh colored stomach for

  Speaker 1: What have you written down?
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Well, even though the cover says three dollars and ninety
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: five cents figured with inflation, it's probably fifteen dollars and
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: seven cents.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: Now fifteen dollars and seven cents. Okay, it's pretty dog
• 1:02:04

• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: What have you got?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: I went in the same neighborhood. I rowed down thirteen dollars.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Thirteen dollars. Nice. These seem like reasonable prices for a
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: used buck.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: Drew a little higher up there. I went for thirty
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: six dollars and twenty seven cents.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: All right, love how specific it is, because that is
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: how atsy goes. Yep, one of these days someone's going
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: to get it spot on down to that, and John
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: is today that day.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: I'm hoping so like my teammate, I think this person
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: thinks this thing is a bit more valuable. I put
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 5: twenty four ninety.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Seven, twenty four ninety seven, okay, interesting, four of us
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: and on seven cents. Yeah, yes, let's make will it

  Speaker 4: with aus seven for some reason.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Damn. And then okay, this is like, is there equal
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: distance between wild? I think I think John has it
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: by like fifty cents or something. Jesus, if the math
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: is mathing, the actual price is twenty dollars and fifty
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: four cents.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna say a point each for Ben and John,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: but then a bonus point for John for being the
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: absolute closest. So two points, one point. I'll take it,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you, John. Yeah, I did something well, and that doesn't.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: Seem horribly unreasonable for its like I was half expecting
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: to be like seventy nine eighty four.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, vintage classic, one of a kind, never reprit
• 1:03:31

• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: I need a banana for scale.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: I mean the quality of those toes tells me it's
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: a pretty decent printer or a pretty large item.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: I need a big bulk for scale. I mean talk
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: about night matth fuel.
• 1:04:05

  Speaker 1: got some bids down for Kirby with legs, three D
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: printed figurine up.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: Staring at it. Wait for the note context after this
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: episode and see what she.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Says, John, what did you put for this one? All right?
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking it's smaller, so I'm going for six forty eight,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: six forty eight, okay, Drew, I'm thinking it's bigger and
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: high quality. So I went for forty nine dollars and
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: two cents woo cents covering the range, covering the range range,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: a little end of the spectrum.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Definitely, all right, Ben, what have you got? I just
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: went with fifteen oh seven again, I bet, I don't know.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: It looks like it's maybe six inches tall. I could
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: see the layer lines, but you know, minimal pain. I
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: think it's pretty simple, Willy, what have you put for that?
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: I went with what I would pay for it forty
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: four two forty four.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's worth that much, and maybe contact the cellar
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: and let them know because they could make more of
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: a profit because it's not quite that high. Sorry, Willy
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: and Drew. Although I respecting going that high. We actually
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: have a pretty close answer here, Ben. It's listed for
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: fifteen dollars on the dot and you put fifteen or seven.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: I think I think I gotta say, I think I
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: gotta say three points seven cents.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: Seven cents was just covering the tip.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fantastic stuff there, Ben, That's probably one of the
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: closest answers we've had in this game. Oh yeah, I'll
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: take it.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, krewby with legs.

  Speaker 2: a skew with.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: The yeah lined up properly.

  Speaker 4: Normally it's the highly and symbol. Yeah, this is made
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: by some real scrub who doesn't respect his games.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's start with Willy this time. What do you
• 1:07:12

• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: thirty nine seventy five, okay, both in the thirties that

  Speaker 1: Nine, twenty nine forty nine okay, okay, and John all
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: right covering the range.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: I think this person values their stuff a lot more
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 5: with they think they're super creative. So I went sixty
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: eight thirty four.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: Sixty eight thirty four. Well, John's on the right track
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: there because this is listed for one hundred and five dollars,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a points. So we are eraror yes,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: I wasn't close enough for extra points. I'm afraid not
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: still could junk out. Yeah, I like you that you
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: valued the craftsmanship, but this person has also valued lots
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: of profits.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's a single chunk of maple.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: I'll give him there, But like I can see some
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: marks like yeah, this is.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: It's also you can tell it's a small knife, but
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: with the design of a bigger knife, so I think
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: the size of it would be disappointing as well.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, it's weird. Is weird in general? Those
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: little Santoku's not actually a great cutting board.

• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: fucking see which that sums up this round? Fucking Okay,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: let's ask Princess Selda to calculate the latest scores as
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: I try and force a joke. I'm pretty sure I
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: made that joke back in season one as well. The

  Speaker 1: pea glove are on twenty seven points. Oh it was
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: a good round. You had that killer yeah, mm hmm,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: but we am error also on twenty seven points. Oh
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: no wayre we tied up heading into the quickfire around
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: where everything can change, of course, but before we get there,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: let's talk prizes. This episode. Star Prize is the concept
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: of home. The NES was part of a generation of
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: consoles that took us out of communal public spaces such
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: as arcades and into the intense isolation of our own homes,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: further cementing individualism as the dominant ideological force of our time.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: I forgot to write a jock then, but our team
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: will also receive Kirby with legs three d.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: Sweet, I'll say forty.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: Our fight or Quickfire around will test your broader pop
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: culture knowledge, and it's called I want an NEZ. Grandma.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: You know a Nintendo Entertainment System Now, as we all know,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: NES stands for Nintendo Entertainment System. But how well do
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: you know your other acronyms and initialisms? In this game,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: I will give our players clues to an initialism or
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: acronym from pop culture history. Those clues will be in
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: the style of your sibling trying to tell you how
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: to play a game backseat gaming from the sofa. Basically,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: there is, of course, a classic gate Leapers twist. You
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: can't just say anys. You have to say every word
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: that the acronym stands for, and if you don't get it,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: someone else can buzz in and try and build the
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: knowledge and give me the full answer. Whoever says the
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: full answer first gets the point you buzz in by
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: yelling out your team name. Let's practice that we be
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: we MA, we have we got P versus we. So,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: for example, if I said no, you've got to get
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: clearance before you can go into Quantico, why is your
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: agent moving like that?
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, Ben, Central Intelligence Agency, It's not.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: What I have here. That's not what I've got for Quantico.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: Collect and ear piece, put on a suit, and get
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: to your first Yes, John, Federal Bureau of Investigation. That's
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: exactly what we're looking forward.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: I could have sworn it was Federal boob Inspector.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: All those shirts would lie to me. Remember, you can
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: interrupt me at any point, and please do. Are we
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: all ready? Whoa so geez? All right? Then here we go. No,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: you need to make a ten piece bucket, and don't
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: forget the gravy. Yes, Kentucky Fried Chicken. It is indeed
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: your kitchen fresh chicken when they were being weird for
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of years.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: Really.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, back in like the early two thousands. Interesting, OKAYFC, No, no, no,
• 1:15:50

• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: stealing in this game. Yeah, okay, next. No, in order

• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: So I know something similar to what Willy said, and
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: that was about as far as I could go.

• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: a bot or not, if you're a bot or not.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: I'm losing my mind. I think the box of the enemies,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: but it's getting harder to tell. Just find the squares

• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Willie artificial intelligence check.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: Oh look it's not right. But if it was called that, hey,

• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: Computerized Authentication penis tickling.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: Child, hindering animal, A penis tickling child, hindering animal.

• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: reveal this week alcohol. Yes, I'll call ito. Yes, it's abuse.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: It is actually very annoyingly because it has more words
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: than it has in the acronym. Completely automated public turing
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: tests to tell computers and humans apart. A. Wow.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 3: That would have been my next guess.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 4: I believe where's the penis tickling happened?
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: I've been doing captures wrong and quick before the buzzer
• 1:24:30

  Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit of a hiatus, but by the
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 4: time this episode is airing, or just shortly after our

  Speaker 4: first episode of season nine should be dropping. We're back
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 4: in the game, We're back on the road. We are
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: six seasons away from the end of the show. There's
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: an actual finish line insight, which is both horrifying and amazing.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 4: Press play is also going strong as well. We just
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 4: had our Resident Evil episode drop, which was very fun,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: and I am currently writing some games for our next
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 4: episode on Doom Beautiful. And despite some earlier segments, I
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 4: will remind people that I do have a shop on
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 4: et seed.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: No, but you're right.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 4: Etsy has become a horrible place. It's just like Amazon,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 4: one of the only options available for artists like us.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 4: So do you go over to Etsy or just my
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 4: website Drusalman dot ca and go to the pin section
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 4: from there or boxless pins? I think a search will
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: still bring me up pretty quickly in Google under the
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 4: AI slop at the top. Yes, fun fact, if you
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 4: add the word fuck to the end of your Google research,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 4: it'll drop the AI results.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: Oh that's good to know. That's a genuinely helpful tip. Yeah,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't have to do, but it's good to know.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: We're going to do it.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 4: But when you really want to find some of Drew's
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 4: fucking boxless pins.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: No way, that's the searched nice. I love it. And
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: in regards to Etsy, it's still good if you have
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: a linked, if it's a trusted seller, if it's a
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: seller you know is trusted, that's still fine.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 5: I came across an artist at at a comic shop
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 5: in Ireland and then I found his Etsy shop and
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 5: grabbed a bunch of shit from him because it was
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 5: super good.
