I don't have anything coming from Dell. So I call the little lady and
4:45

4:47
I was like, what the fuck? So I call the other part of
4:50
Dell and they contact me and I'm like, yo, I don't have anything
4:54
here. You guys got the wrong number, like, there's nothing to catch
4:58
to this number here. This is I'm not mark. And they're like,
5:00
okay, cool, we'll tell her, we'll delete this stuff. Cool,
5:02

5:08
door tags, like, hey, these are on our door last night.
5:11
What the fuck? So I'm like, all right, cool, thanks,
5:14
I go inside and I call FedEx. I'm like, yil, motherfuckers.

5:31
I fucking went inside. And then our roommate, the cybernetic diabetics, You's
5:35
like, yo, Steve, you got package out here. I'm like those
5:39
motherfuckers. So I go out there and it's this big fucking package. It's
5:44
not a desktop, but looks like it's either a giant laptop or a flat
5:47
screen TV. I'm like, the fuck, So I grab it, pulling
5:50
inside. Might address to you my address, your name, not my name
5:57
my address? That says I'm something I don't say the last name. Oh
6:00
my god. Yeah, but it says my address blah blah blah something l
6:04
D Ltd. I'm like, that's a company. The fuck. So I
6:09
look up this company because obviously nobody else is fucking doing their job right around
6:12
here. So I'm like, look up this company. All right, Cool,
6:15
they're based in fucking Ohio. Contact the company. I'm like, hang
6:18
on a second. So so wait a minute, Like a lot of this
6:24
doesn't make sense exactly. Yeah, how does I'll get to it? How
6:28
did it get to your address? But they also have your phone number?
6:30
I think, I think I know why. All right, carry out,
6:33
so try to get ahold of this company. Fucking instantaneously goes to a voicemail
6:38
that doesn't have a message. I'm like, this is fucking creepy and shit
6:41
Jesus correct. So I'm just like, I'm not leaving my fucking phone number
6:45
on some shit. Shit. I'm like, fuck it, I tried.
6:46
It's in the middle. It's like ten thirty in the morning, it's work
6:50
work hours. You know, it's Ohio. There's no time difference. Fuck
6:54
that right, they should be Yeah, So I'm like, what the fuck
6:57
is going on? So I call fat X again, and I'm like,
7:00
listen, no, no, on this one. I open it up.
7:02
I'm like, fuck it, it's mine. I tried it. I was
7:11
like, fuck, it is mine. So I opened it up to see
7:13
what the fuck it is. It's a twenty seven inch fucking high ten ADP
7:16
fucking monitor and shit, but it's one of those office edition ones, like
7:20
it's sold. For a second. Yeah, trying to make sure that you're
7:25
not like admitting to mail friends, I'm not. No, no, he's
7:27
not. He's not because I made sure. Also, because it's addressed to
7:31
me, I had to make sure it wasn't anything well, it had somebody
7:35
else's name but my address. So that's why there's a screw up somewhere.
7:39
And I contacted every company. I had to see what was inside to make
7:42
sure. So I opened it up. I'm like, okay, it's a
7:44
giant fucking monitor. Okay, cool, I don't fucking need a giant monitor.
7:48
But regardless, I package you back up. I tape it back up,
7:51
and I'm like all right. I call FedEx again and I'm like,
7:55
listen, you guys, drop this shit off. It's not mine. I
7:58
don't have to tell you. They screw it. Up somewhere at Dell,
8:01
come and get it, Like all right, I'm like, just bring someone
8:03
here, like we will have someoney there tomorrow morning or tomorrow. I'm like,
8:07
cool, I'm leaving it outside. Not my problem, yeah, fair
8:11
enough. We're getting ready to go downstairs row By for dinner. At this
8:15
point, guy hasn't showed up. I grab it. I was like,
8:16
well, fucking I can't leave it out here all night. It'll be fucking
8:20
broke. So I put it inside and then we're getting ready to leave and
8:24
he's like, oh shit, the FedEx guy is here. I'm like,
8:26
oh cool. So I give him the fucking package and I'm like cool,
8:28
blah blah blah. He's like, what was up? But I'm like,
8:31
this is not my it's addressed here, like to my address. This is
8:35
not me. And I called Dell and I called you guys, and you
8:37
guys still delivered it. It's not mine. I don't want it, and
8:39
they're like, all right, cool, that's that's no problem. He's cancing,
8:43
no problem, I'll take it back and whatever. He's like, so
8:46
you don't want to keep this thing? And I'm just like no, Like,
8:50
as far as I know, it's stolen, somebody's trying to launder it.
8:56
I want nothing, no part of this at all. So I'm like,
9:00
what the fuck could it be? Like how did this happen? And
9:03
then remember I had all these issues with my desktop, and they kept sending
9:07
me all these different parts, different computers, like refurbished computers. They kept
9:11
the same service tag from one of them, I think was on the outside
9:16
of the box, and they just scan them because I just told them no,
9:18
I didn't want it, and I said, give me a dream machine,
9:20
blah blah blah, bullshit bullshit. So they just took it back.
9:24
I never accepted that delivery, but I think the tag was still on it,
9:26
the service tag number, and it's tied to my contact information. But
9:31
this person who called called you with their name to say this is my problem
9:35
with my computer, they screwed up the service tag with my address. It
9:39
got shipped to me. And I tried to explain this to everybody there,
9:43
and they're just like, what do we do. I don't know. I
9:46
don't want it, but you know what I'm doing, not committing mail fry.
9:52
I did everything that you guys can commit, all the frogs. Why
9:58
you're a corporation that does stupid ship. Yeah, it's like, what the
10:01
fuckow, Yeah, it was a crazy I'm like, what you're getting us
10:07
that it was a trap? It was what it was. They tried to
10:09
trap you. Yeah, sure was trap. It don't why don't people send
10:13
me for like this can't be right. I never got a free, like
10:18
brand new computer, state of the art. I mean, I feel like
10:24
if it, if it actually had your name on it, you would be
10:26
pretty and clear to just keep it if that was the case. Yeah,
10:30
but no, it didn't have his name on it, just his address.
10:33
You with a monitor he probably sold or something. At first, I thought
10:37
somebody bought something with a card, because he did have his card stolen not
10:39
too long ago, and that's what And I'm like, oh, well,
10:43
this must be what. They must have bought this and it just went through
10:46
because that happens a lot too. And in those cases you can either turn
10:50
them into the police station keep them because it's whatever. But yeah, this
10:54
was a bizarre situation, and even I'm just like, what the fuck,
10:58
Like, how do you screw that up so bad? They used the same
11:01
thing, They use the same tag. It's like, just delete my phone
11:05
number from your system. Please, Okay, just forget I exist for two
11:09
seconds. Thank you, give me off your mailing list, and then I'll
11:13
solve your problem as well as mine. Still fixing other people's problems. Yeah,
11:18
all right, Well, do you guys want to go to a break?
11:22
I'm down with that. Yeah. Yeah. Well, when we come
11:24

12:48
back. We chill them like villains, and like villains, we're going to
12:54
go through the comments and see if they gonna have our joker moment. We're
13:03
the tissues just in case. All right, let's get started. Our first
13:13
comment, go ahead, oggie, Yeah, first comment. That's right,
13:16
I got control of this. I got it. Oh okay, well never
13:22
mind, then you get control. Well, first comment, COEs Casey.
13:28
No laugh tracks, it's stupid. From our episode show two O seven point
13:33
five warming Up with Duffy and Midnight Smoke. Yeah I agree. The laugh
13:39
track discussion. Yeah yeah. Laugh tracks are just it's two forced have either
13:46
have a live audience or just don't have a laugh track. Just don't bother.
13:50
Applause is one thing. Hitting a good a good. I think the
13:58
example is Modern Family, huge, huge success. No laugh track didn't have
14:05
an audience either, but they just they just went with it, and we're
14:09
like, our ship is funny. Even if even though we don't need audience,
14:13
Yeah, they didn't have an audience. They had a dead audience.
14:20
They couldn't laugh, but they were just there. The crowcheer is fine because
14:26
it kind of smooths over the awkward transitioning of introducing someone or introducing something,
14:31
introducing introducing yes, new words to the dictionary. Yeah, kind of okay,
14:37
cool? Or just be my dyslexia kicking. It's more than likely the
14:43
case. Just be boy, just be all right. The next comment is
14:50
on a video called pre show goofing around all this but I had long hair
14:56
and Stevie get medicated and then perform some pre show checks and then they get
15:03
I don't I don't recall all of it, but I do recall at one
15:09
point I let Steve use my hair like a beard. Holy hi, I
15:16
believe that we gave this for free to anybody who followed us on Patreons.

15:37
from Kristen Farley and says, love that you respect the napping cat on your
15:41
chair, Agie, Yeah, yeah, I mean I do that far chilling
15:46
there. Yeah yeah. So I'm a very I think that's why cats like
15:48
me, because I'm very accommodating to cats. I know they're very prideful creatures.
15:56
And if you stroke that ego of there's they Yeah yeah, truth all
16:03
right. Our next comment is on episode two O seven The Game Shows with
16:07
the gate Leapers episode where we tried to have a gate Leapers style episode,
16:11
and Justin Brown very kindly said, what a great episode. So much fun
16:15
they had fun. Oh my god, we had a great time. It
16:17
was a lot of fun. I love and I fear having them on every
16:21
time because they are the only other like variety type game show podcast. We
16:26
know show I know, and man, I know, but I get they're
16:30
so good though, they're so good. Do you listen to the gate Leapers?
16:33
I listened to every episode. I listened to the Jordan did it released
16:37
every other Thursday? I know, I do. Let's do my work.
16:41
But to be afraid of there are awesome people, they love us, we
16:44
love that. I'm intimidated. Oh don't be intimidated, especially by their their
16:48
their fake co host. I mean, they do have special powers that they
16:52
can create. It do they can create an entire human being. He's like
16:57
perfect assassin because he's everywhere and nowhere. Steve is so like and he's he's
17:03
literally like he's he can be anything, Jason. There was one episode where
17:08
Audre said he was a wax work at one point, and then there's another
17:12
episode where someone said he's the T one thousand. I'm like, oh my
17:15
god, he might Jason went is everything? Maybe they terrifying Jason, So
17:21
I kind of get it. You know why you haven't seen him becau.
17:22
He've been slowly making his way to you this whole time, on foot across
17:27
the the march from Colorado. Just how many days to walk? He'll be
17:33
here someday for you, Steve, and then you'll know. Then for sure,
17:37
you'll know it be real. He'll just kick open the door and point
17:40
a finger at you. I'm real, motherfucker, just walk back out like
17:45
that's all he came to. He's your paralysis demon. Now he's gonna show
17:51
up at the end of your b I cannot wait to tell Jason that the
17:56
twist is going to be he is really I and I really am. That's
18:00
what We've never been separated at birth. Look at Marvels gott to create a
18:06
paradox. Next time we do a crossover, only one of us can answer
18:11
at the time. Oh shit, he's right, that's funny. They have
18:18
to take turns answering. That's fantastic, two headed just Stephen alright. Our
18:29
next, Our next comment is on the Sneaky Snake Routine video. Oh dear,
18:33
we did it. I mean the comment is just a bunch of laughing
18:38
It's a laughing emoji's just several of them. This and that's fair. That
18:45
was a very silly video. I loved it on TikTok. It made me
18:47
laugh. Sky Snake Routine. We got to comment on episode two of seven
18:55
Game Shows The Gate Leaders. But this was on our video release. Yeah,
18:59
so you have to be a Patreon supporter to get access to our video
19:02
episodes. But Jeremy Farley said, so excited for you with the Kickstarter.
19:07
All the luck to you, sir, Thank you, Yeah, thank you
19:10
very much. Yeah, in case it hasn't already been said on the show,
19:15
we're fully funded. Yeah, I have one hundred percent of all funding.
19:18
Now, the only concern that I have is that we are still at
19:22
a point where a single person could retract their pledge and we'd be back under
19:26
one hundred percent again. So I'd like to get a little buffer, So
19:32
I put up a stretch goal where if we hit seventy five hundred, I
19:37
will give everyone who backed the kickstarter a bonus chapter. Stevie's mouthed the word
19:42
a blow. I'm going to write a bonus chapter and give it to everyone
19:56
who backed the Kickstarter, and it bridges the events of Fame with the second
20:00
book that I'm writing now, No Ship. Yeah, that's fucking cool.
20:07
It was the best thing I could come up with. It didn't involve anybody
20:11
else because all the sag after restrictions are insane. So yea. Even even
20:18
when I pushed this to my my audio engineer, Nick, he said,
20:22
it's a gray area, but since you're by your own you're probably fine.
20:26
And I was like, wow, So even something tangentially, you know,
20:30
connected to the project conceivably get me in trouble. I'm like, oh my
20:34
god. All right. So yeah, so the the bonus chapter will be
20:38
in PDF form and I'll also record it but it will just be like me
20:45
narrating narrating here, you know, just and and you can just send it
20:48
to me and I'll edit it and throw it up. So it's not it's
20:52
not gonna be done by an audio engineer or any of that. It's just
20:55
going to be just to keep it off of after his radar. I don't
20:59
know. I'm giving you a verbal blow, Jock. I don't want it.
21:02
I don't want to get in trouble. But I will read the chapter
21:03
out. I will do voices as best I can, man, so I'll
21:07
keep some weed for you as you can get me. Jamie's character pretty good.
21:11
Hold on, give me a second, Okay, I gotta start narrating
21:17
now, because by the time I get to Jamie's section, I will be
21:19
plenty high. Had exposure to Jamie's character since I was what twelve wow?
21:25
While yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm hearing it. You're exposed since
21:32
you were twelve years old. I've been exposing myself to Aaron since I was
21:36
twelve years It's exactly. I won't stop ever. I love that man too
21:44
much. I know exactly what it's true. Oh my god, I do
21:49
too, and I hate it especially the smelly Facy. Yeah, okay,
22:00
sack to topics on a picture of the studio just before we were about to
22:03
record The gate Leapers, Christ and Farley commented, awesome. Love it when
22:07
these two shows come together. Hell yeah, man, Yeah, when we're
22:14
on their show, when they're on our show, it's a blast. Honestly,
22:15
we love it when we get guests in general. Yeah, it's just
22:19
it's so much fun when there's more people sharing in it. Yes, and
22:22
they have the like I said again, they have them play games with us.
22:26
It's just a fucking riot of retime. I swear. The laughter is
22:29
just it's it's so contagious. It is, it is. It doesn't matter
22:33
who it is. It's always the same thing too. It's always like it's
22:37
nervous at first, but once the first laugh happens, it's like floodgates just
22:41
opens up. From Yeah. On episode two six, Rats Antiques and Aeroplanes,
22:48

be fun. Colin Maggs left a epic comment, Oh god, okay,
23:48
fuckers. So to make summers worse, you make them colder. So basically
23:51
you make the ninety British summers. Is this you getting us Brits back?
23:55
Because Crunchy kicked your arms is last time. And if I never hear Aaron
24:00
say the sentence I'm squelchy, I can't. I'll be very happy I mean
24:07
that was more disturbing than sex crazy Stevie love the episode, like the new
24:11
rules to make it worse, though, I wouldn't mind a little dark humor
24:14
sprinkled throughout it, maybe say after the second round, if the subject hasn't
24:18
been topped, but still keeping the really bad shit band for example, Nazis
24:22
et cetera. Love you, guys, Colin's awesome fair and I agree we
24:26
can turn it up a notch. I think, yeah, I think if
24:30
we go around the table twice, then the floodgates should open, but we
24:33
should still keep them. You could say the damn has broken. Yes,
24:36
yeah, like a cool catchphrase for that way when we sell it to Like,
24:40
we're not selling our games the stuff to make millions, never mind,
24:42
this is a show. I mean, I don't think anyone would blame us
24:48
if we didn't. We can always come up with more games. Okay,
24:51
sweet, we're gonna make millions, guys. I'm convinced we could do a
24:55
good card game out of our shit. Hell yeah, we should do everything.
24:59
We should do a car game, a board game, and a video
25:00
game. All right, like that'd be cool. All let me get past
25:06
the audiobook. I no, no, I have a lot of work on
25:11
my play right now. We got the call it the Thing Saga is now
25:18
called the Thaga. So after is complete, that's when we get into our
25:23
like physical games. Oh yeah, you know what like cards and boards and
25:30
video. No I don't that's fair, but yeah, just gonna move on.
25:37
That was all of our comments on Matreon. Okay, Well that's that's
25:41
sober and done with. Yeah, thank you so much everyone who pugged in
25:45
with a comment. We really do. Yeah, and I hope you could
25:48
hear our appreciation just now. So yeah, do you have anything else we
25:53
want to go over? Does anyone else do anything fun this week? I
25:57
could talk for a little bit. I could talk for a bit too.
26:00
I've gotten back to work. I'm back at work season, so I've I'm
26:04
a little bit busier. But in the meantime to kind of break up the
26:11
monotony of going to work, coming home, going to bed, get up
26:15
to it all over again, I've been playing Skyrim again. I well,
26:21
I've been booted up two games. I booted up fall Out in New Vegas,
26:23
and I'm going to get back to that when I when I do.
26:26
But I've been booting up Skyrim again because I had an update not too long
26:30
ago that basically allowed some Creation Club items to be part of the game itself
26:40
now, so I added a lot of new stuff. I'm like, cool,
26:44
might as well revisit it. And despite it being like their ninth federation
26:49
of Skyrim, they still quite haven't gotten all the bugs and exploits out of
26:56
the game yet. And usually, well, this time, I'm like,
27:00
Okay, I'm not going to exploit the shit out of the game and do
27:04
all that stuff. I'm gonna play the game, enjoy it, make it
27:07
last as long as possible. And then a horse, without moving its leg,
27:12
floating about fifty feet above the air, goes flying past my screen and
27:18
disappears behind a mountain range. I went, oh, no, it's happening.
27:26
The game has been in parts. The game has been slowly. It's
27:32
small parts here and there, like falling apart and like glitching out, but
27:37
not in a way that's breaking the game, but in a way that either
27:40
makes the situation funny or benefits me greatly. So there's a quest you can
27:45
get that get a really good blade called the Dawn Sword that is really good
27:49
against undead and you're supposed to only get one of them, and for whatever
27:55
reason, while I was playing it and through the fight, I'm like,
27:57
oh, there is there. It is on the ground. I picked it
28:00
up in the middle of a fight and then I beat the dude and I
28:03
turned around, went to the pedestal interact with it, and it gave me
28:07
another one, and I'm like, wait what the game gave me two of
28:11
these blades. So now I'm just running around with two of them, just
28:15
killing undead like freaking attack on Titan and then it just yeah, it's just
28:22
been breaking on me. Like Dragon. I saw a dragon literally plummet the
28:26
sky crash in front of me and just give me a dragon soul. It
28:30
just fell out of the sky. I don't know what killed it. It
28:33
just literally yeah, like as if the gravity just turned up to a million
28:37
and just dud just landed. Uh yeah, just rear chill like that.
28:41
And so I've been having fun with that. Well, yeah, Sky was
28:45
a lot of fun. Yeah, I got to get back into I only
28:47
have the VR version. I only have the standalone. I didn't realize it.
28:51
I went to play the stand I wish I could play the VR version.
28:52
I find I am super susceptible to motion sickness with VR. Yeah,
28:59
I don't know why. I'm perfectly happy with the standard version, Like I
29:02
just love it. I treat it like, you know, an FPS,
29:04
but you know you use swords instead, you know. So I'm just like,
29:07
you know, grolling around. And the thing I love about Skyrim is
29:11
just how much there is to just explore. And the music just the music
29:15
really really fits the game so well because it just it just fills you with
29:22
that sort of that kind of it's a lonely atmosphere, but it's still very
29:26
lively. It's still it feels very good. You feel you feel like you're
29:32
doing something important, it feels it. Yeah, it's a lonely atmosphere,
29:37
but you don't feel like the world is empty. No, no, it
29:41
feels like it's filled. No. Yes, now magnify that by like a
29:45
hundred, because everything's around you. Because I'm in the via V. Yeah,
29:48
I spent what that first hour that game just walking like just in circles
29:53
around this town like this is fucking There is a video. Yeah, there's
29:57
a video on our YouTube channel that I post it up. It's like the
30:00
only one I have because again, I got so sick and I couldn't make
30:03
any more. It was like an episode zero of me playing Skyrim, and
30:08
half the episode was me just in awe of my surrounding because it like it
30:14
puts you in there, like it almost felt like you. Like the graphics
30:17
obviously still game, but everything was just so. They did a good job.
30:23
What's the word I'm looking for. It did a job over not overcoming,
30:27
but like it just it was huge, like bigger than you would suspect
30:33
even in a mousely keyboard. That mountain range looks huge even from far away,
30:38
but when you're when it's right there in your face, it looks just
30:42
super massive. Whatever the word for that is imposing, imposing. Yeah,
30:48
yeah, that's as what I was thinking of. I like that. Yeah.
30:52
No, I love Skyrim' so many never never finished the main quest,
30:56
never No, I put four hundred hours into that came never finished quest.
31:02
That's awesome. Yeah, there's so much to explore. There's all these little
31:06
caves and shit, and just go dumpster diving. The gray Beards yelled for
31:08
me to come to the mounta and I haven't. I'm basically learned so much,
31:12
so many things, and like I think I got part way through the
31:18
College of Mage's quest line. Uh, and then like the final bit like
31:22
glitched out so I couldn't actually kill the final boss. Oh yeah, you
31:26
couldn't even get into the room to fight them. So I'm like, oh,
31:30
all right, I guess I'll just leave that hanging. Then just just
31:33
went off that world ending events happening, just fucked off and did anything else.
31:37
I was like, Okay, well, that's not the point of the
31:41
game. Like the point of the game is to explore and have fun,
31:45
and I do those things. Yeah, that's what I was worried about.
31:48
I'm like, I know, like they just I don't know why they didn't
31:52
bother fixing any of that shit. I think they left a lot of that
31:56
stuff broken on purposes. They must have, because if it didn't like actually
32:00
break the game and it made things funnier or more fun somehow, they probably
32:04
just leave it in. Somebody's gonna laugh. Leave it. Listen, it's
32:07
pie is floating around. It's positive entertainment value. It's true the end.
32:12
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And Skyrim is more famous because of stuff like
32:15
this, so that it's perfect sense to me. I'll give you that.
32:19
That's fair anyway, shall we take another break and come back for part three.
32:22
That sounds good, sir, ladies and gents. We will be back
32:23
right after this. Interrupt this program to bring you a newsplash Michael Jackson's ghost

33:02
Pod and we are proud members of the Odd Pods media Network. Hey man,
33:22
welcome back. It's a chill show. We've just been talking about what's
33:27
been up lately, and Augil was just talking about Skyrim. So that's that
33:30
just kind of leads naturally into what I've been doing just the last couple of
33:34
days. I don't know where I got into it. I think I was
33:37
just looking for an excuse to play with my Steam deck, okay, because
33:40
I realized, like I put like six hundred dollars into that thing and it's
33:44
just been lying around. We went to Vegas and that was the last time.
33:46
Yeah. Well that's the thing, like it's great for travel, Yeah,
33:50
don't travel a lot. Actually, yeah, you didn't use it when
33:52
we go to DC, did we? Uh No, not a lot,
33:55
Yeah, not a lot. I brought it, but I think I just
34:00
didn't use it a lot because we were doing MAGFest stuff. You know.
34:02
I played with it a couple of times, and I definitely played with it
34:05
on the trip up and down, so like I got some use out of
34:07
it. But so I was looking for something to do, and I was
34:09
like, oh, well, you know, I could play you know,
34:12
this game, but it'll make the battery like drop real quick, and I
34:15
don't want to sit plugged into it, and you know, yeah, yeah
34:17
da. And I was like, what can I do? And I was
34:19
like, oh, let's just emulation, why not? So I boot it
34:22
up on a whim, this complete whim. I booted up uh Final Fantasy
34:27
eighth, which is probably it's probably still my favorite Final Fantasy and I think
34:32
we've talked about it on the show before. One of my favorite things about
34:37
that game is how breakable it is. Squall yeah, no, no,
34:43
no, I could give less than a shit about squall like the the you
34:47
know, Final Fantasy seven was a big hit for a lot of people because
34:51
they had, like, you know, the groundbreaking technology. It had the
34:52
materials system, which people absolutely love, rightfully. So Final Fantasy eight is
34:59
when they got weird. It like, we're not gonna we're not gonna make
35:04
you know, the world ending Quest the focus. We're gonna make the romance
35:07
between two main characters the focus instead and the the the world breaking Quest is
35:13
kind of in the background, which is weird, but right not to mention.
35:17
They're like, Okay, what if there's no more MP anymore? What
35:21
if instead of requiring MP to cast spells, you have a stock of said
35:24
spells up to one hundred, But you can also tie these spells to your
35:30
stats to make them stronger. But the more of them you have, the
35:35
stronger your stats are. So if you cast any of those spells, you
35:39
are intentionally making yourself weaker. So you want to just collect a hundred of
35:45
these spells and just hold them and just never cast them, just have them.
35:49
That's it. The fuck. It's a wild fuck wow it but crazier
35:54
than I remembers. As crazy as it sounds, it's also one of the
35:59
reasons why it's so breakable. So let's talk about the cards, right,
36:02
Okay, so the card so f Bate's got this mini game you can play,
36:07
you can play with There's so many members of the NPCs that if you
36:10
talk to them using X and they'll just say what they have to say,
36:14
would you press the square button instead on PlayStation controller. You'll offer to play
36:19
a game with them, and if they game, they will say, yeah,
36:21
we'll play, and you can win cards off them or they can win
36:23
them off. You gotta be careful about that before you play. Yeah,
36:28
basically, but there's like over one hundred cards. I think there's something like
36:34
one hundred and thirty different possible cards you can collect. Yep, there's an
36:37
ability in the game called card mod and it basically allows you to take a
36:43
card and transform it into an item. There's more abilities in the game that
36:47
allow you to transform items into spells. So I think you might be able
36:52
to see where I'm going with this. Oh God, it is ridiculously easy,
36:57
especially in the early game, to get a hold of extreme powerful cards,
37:00
turn them into extremely powerful items, and refine them into extremely powerful spells
37:07
that you can then equip to your you can then equip to your stats to
37:10
make yourself ridiculously powerful. Oh my god, So if you know what you're
37:15
doing, you can literally get your strength like over a hundred before you leave
37:20
the tutorial area. What the fuck? Ye? Yes, yeah, it's
37:24
awesome. Broken, it's broken, it's broken, and it's awesome And I
37:31
have an absolute blast playing this game now. Usually when I play it,
37:36
I just skip to the good stuff basically, like I'll give myself a cheat
37:39
code to give me all of the cards, which is even better because they
37:45
they replenish, like you can't lose them. So if you if you hard
37:47
mod them all away, just card mod another card and you'll have it back.
37:52
Okay, he just instantly shows back up, even the ones that there's
37:54
only one of in the game. You just grind it into whatever item you
37:58
want to make, and then grind something else and then it's back again.
38:04
So I would just use this to make a hundred of everything I could grind
38:07
and then just max out all the spells. So I'm literally walking out of
38:10
the tutorial area with five thousand hit points like my maxed out strength and vitality
38:17
stats and just ready to just wreck everything shop and then from there you can
38:22
basically like speed run the fucking game. Nothing, nothing can touch you until
38:27
the final dungeon. Crazy. You literally just bomb rush your way through everything
38:30
and you're just like just destroying bosses in like a single hit. Every time
38:36
your rival shows up and talks ship. Yeah, I'm sorry, Seer.
38:40
You remember that time when you slashed me in training? Yeah? I remember.
38:46
Yeah, I'm about to slash your ass in the next week. Motherbucker.
38:51
You belong in the same category as you, bitch, suck up my
38:54
face, your face? Uh so? Yeah. So I genuinely enjoyed how
39:00
breakable it was because it literally made me into an unstoppable powerhouse. I would
39:06
just destroy everything, and I don't know, I I genuinely found like parts
39:12
of the story like really touching, and so it stuck with me between the
39:15
breakability and stuff about the story that I liked. Also, the explosion of
39:21
the final boss at the end of the game is the most epic explosion.
39:25
Yes, why, I don't know? Yes, everybody online, Okay,
39:30
pause this again. No, you don't wait till you say what I'm gonna
39:32
say. Get ready to podcast. Look up, you go to the one
39:37
of the video sites I'm not gonna say it because they don't pay us,
39:38
And then look up Bionic Commando's ending as cool as fuck? All right,
39:43
go ahead, all right, but then you have to look up the the
39:46
the final boss defeat or just just something that you well, I won't say
39:51
it, but they don't pay us. Go to one of the video sites
39:54
and be like, hey, man, uh, Final Fantasy eight, Final
39:59
Boss eat or victory or whatever, uh, and you will watch the most
40:02
ridiculous final boss explosion that I've ever seen anything. It goes on for what
40:07
feels like over a couple of minutes. Really, every time you think she's
40:12
done exploding, she explodes some more. Oh yeah, no, I'm sorry.
40:16
I've only beat the game once and that was enough for me. But
40:22
yeah, it is. It is wild. It is genuinely enjoyable, Like
40:24
I enjoy the crap out of the fact that it takes. It just makes
40:29
me smile. She's so dead, She's just beyond dead at this point.
40:31
Stop like it's cruel. Yeah, Like, I know you guys hated her,
40:42
but damn she was a villain, not a bad person. It genuinely
40:45
felt like, you know, you kick your ass so hard that she's just
40:50
just non stop exploding. I think that the director hated her at the end.
40:54
It's great. I don't care. I love that ship. It makes
40:58
me smile every single time. Not to mention, the Final Boss themes are
41:01
epics. Yeah, the themes. Yeah, there's a lot of good music
41:06
and Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy just got good music in general. Yeah.
41:08
I remember I remember being a kid and playing the well not a kid,
41:12
a teenager in college, but I remember playing like the first Final Fantasy games
41:15
and thinking, Wow, it's almost sounds like an orchestra in there, you
41:21
know. And I was like I check out like later on, like,
41:24
uh, like the actual sound font that they used for Final Fantasy eight was
41:29
meant to mimic an orchestra and it did a pretty damn good job for the
41:32
time. Yeah. Like I listened to an actual, like orchestral like remix
41:37
of the Final Fantasy eight music and I was like, holy shit, it's
41:40
really closer than you would think. Yeah. Like, I was like,
41:44
they did a damn good job of like orchestrating the instruments on the PlayStation to
41:47
make that work like it was. I was impressed. Yeah, that technology
41:52
bump at that time was huge. Yeah, it was nuts. So the
41:55
PlayStation. The PlayStation change was massive. It was crazy. It's still three
42:00
discs though, to play at four four. Oh yeah, four four for
42:05
eight the game three was for seven. Seven. Yeah, you're right.
42:08
Nine was just absolutely insane as well. Yeah. Nine. Nine was an
42:13
actual challenge. Nine was like, okay, I did like nine. You
42:15
guys enjoyed breaking the game, Now enjoy the game breaking you. Yeah.
42:21
Nine is very hard. Yeah, it was a difficult game. Yeah.
42:24
I've never played a Final Fantasy game. Wow. Wow, I never had
42:28
a PlayStation until PlayStation four. I'm going to buy you a PlayStation. No,
42:32
he needs a play I'm going to get you a PS one and I'm
42:36
gonna get you like a small library game. Just have him played the First
42:38
Final Fantasy. That's as close to D and D as you'll get. That's
42:42
true. Actually, yeah, yeah, the First Final Fantasy. You could
42:45
actually decide what your carriage's classes, prestige them and stuff, and yeah,
42:49
you can use them and that might actually be fun. It is like I
42:52
was never into those types of games. Enjoyed the first playing games and ship.
42:57
Yeah, but I never got into the only downside that none of the
43:00
characters have any personality of their own. But I mean, but it's literally
43:05
the first final thing, so it doesn't need to exactly like look at Mega
43:08
Man for your first one. Like Okay, all I know is what Doctor
43:12
Light said at the beginning, and that's it, and I'm just going by
43:14
that. The combat was good. Like the thing that I love about good
43:17
final Fantasy games when they're done right, is like the combat is like a
43:21
puzzle, Like you got to figure out how to take that boss down.
43:24
It's not that he's too strong for you, it's that you have to figure
43:29
out what, like you have to defeat this part of him first, and
43:31
then you have to like cast sleep on this part of him so he doesn't
43:35
react when you do this to the other part of him. Really tactical strategy.
43:37
So some sometimes it is, Yeah, and like the first the first
43:42
one is pretty gentle, but it's still got some good puzzly fights in there
43:45
that aren't immediately obvious like oh, I should do this like round two or
43:49
three, I'd noticed it type of thing. Yeah, Like like like by
43:52
by the middle of the fight, you'd go, oh, I know how
43:54
to take you down, Like all right, yeah, Yeah, that's that's
43:58
a good feeling when you get that, you're this bitch is going down.
44:04
That's fair, that's fair, I guess. Yeah. Final Final Fantasy one
44:07
is the best for that. Final Fantasy two is if you want that,
44:09
but also characters with a little bit more personality. Yeah yeah yeah. Final
44:14
Fantasy two actually gave the characters personality, but you couldn't choose their classes anymore.
44:19
They were still kind of it was still you could change things. You
44:22
could you could make them because they they level up based according to how you
44:28
use them. So you use them to attack, they would gain strength.
44:31
If you cast spells, they would gain magic power. So the more the
44:36
more you use the specific that with them, the more that part of them
44:38
would level up, which would make sense and like because you're proficient. Yeah,
44:43
it's it's kind of a real life experience. Wow, Sky remrules before
44:46
it was Sky Yeah exactly. Yeah, Oh my god, exactly. Yeah.
44:50
Final Fantasy two is full. Uh yeah, So I've just been enjoying
44:53
the hell out of Final Fantasy Remastered. I bought the remastered version because it
44:57
was on Steam for eight bucks. Oh shit, that's that's something that Yeah.
45:00
I just spent twenty bucks on a twelve pack of I think I can
45:05
manage eight dollars for a game that will give me many, many hours of
45:07
enjoyment. So for sure, why not? Why not? Oh That's pretty
45:12
much all I got for this week. That's what I've been doing, aside
45:15
from keeping an eye on the Kickstarter and keeping the cast and character spotlights coming
45:20
out. I'm glad you enjoyed yours, sir, Thank you. I love
45:23
the pictures so good. I tried to pick good ones. There aren't a
45:28
lot of pictures of just the two of us, you know, it's always
45:30
like it's always like a group. And we lived together for multiple weeks.
45:34
We did. We never took a picture. We took one picture that I
45:37
found of just the two of us till to Actually I didn't post the other
45:42
one would have been sillier. It was me licking your head. Oh my
45:45
god. Yeah, but it was the same it was the same day,
45:47
same day. Yeah, it was just it was just second picture. It
45:52
was Tuesday. It was it was seconds apart, actually literally seconds apart.

Yes. So yeah, So if you want go to out the Kickstarter for
46:00
THINGE and what you're looking for is, I believe it's Cast and Character Spotlight

Number five is Stevie and you'll enjoy that, and you'll enjoy the description of
46:10
his character. I'm sure, Oh hell yeah, I definitely Dan. And
46:16
I'm like, man, I'm gonna wind up pushing this fool to be an
46:19
actor at some points, but I'm pretty sure you can do it. I
46:22
know you find it. Like I said, I know you've done some actual
46:25
voice acting before, so that'll help. I've done some minor stuff. Yeah,
46:30
hopefully that was enough to get my muscles stretched for this jumping into like
46:35
professional spotlight here for a little bit, like for ten fifteen minutes, and
46:38
we'll see what happens. Yeah, I'm super excited. Man. I'm sure
